do you ever end up accidentally getting super attached to a trope so specific and rare you don't even know how to look for it? 'space aliens failing to understand that a human showing teeth usually isn't a threat display' isn't even an ao3 tag. finding that shit in published fiction or tv shows is next to impossible

Hey, should I make it a bit of a challenge to find Rimmer, or just keep doing what I did at the beginning and have him just poorly edited in poking out of something?

in water, fleas will drown.

Let it be known that your work in Your jeep. Your teeth. The coffee that you bought me. casually performed a sternotomy on me but never brought the pieces of my sternum back together. So uh, um, uh, here's my heart bared in my chest for this story.

Hazy and de-realized like that night on the beach.

Waiting for the static to clear.

Woodsy. Woodsy. Woodsy. WOODSY. Oh my fucking god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Seriously at a loss for words. Actually sitting here with my mouth wide open. Jaw on the floor. Mouth catching flies. Socks blown right off. The only thing going through my head right now is !!!!!!!!!!!! and AHHHHHHHH.

But seriously. the way you have captured what Mav was thinking and feeling throughout the whole campfire scene. It's honestly so insane the way you've captured it-- the way you are constantly able to capture it (feelings, emotions, thoughts) through all your art. It leaves me in awe every fucking time.

The haziness and how it represents the physical pain he was feeling, and the way he kept disassociating throughout the day-- and the texture overlay!?! Oh my god. it's so good. I want to frame it. or have it tattooed on the inside of my skull. maybe i'll do both. The layered text! (and how it relates to that one line about Ice cutting out all the letters from a magazine to express himself. Get outta my head! You're reading my mind!) (don't actually. it's amazing) THE RED LIGHTING OF THE FIRE!! Hello???? I'm screaming and rolling around violently on the ground and tearing at my hair and gnawing on my nails and chewing on the floorboards like a rabid dog. Mav's shaggy hair!!! The moon up in the sky!! the ocean behind him!! You have paid attention to the slightest of details and my mouth is still hanging open.

I'm so fucking honoured that you have spent the time to make fanart for the Jeep Universe. Like seriously. I don't have the words to express it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

HEY

I really want Day to get big mad at everyone.

I want Day to blow up at his Mum and Night and Mhok. I want Day to realise his power and his strength and his right to make his own decisions, to choose his own path, make mistakes, take risks and have secrets.

I want Day to get completely fed up with people using his disability as a way to keep him close, to keep him in check, to keep him reliant on them, to keep him scared.

I want Day to tell them all to get fucked. He might still need assistance with his disability but that doesn't mean he needs THEM. I want Day to up and go stay with Aon.

I want to see the different stages of realisation in Night, Mhok and their mum. Night knows Day is right and he's already acted on this understanding. Their Mum has to know that Day doesn't need her as a carer - she's never home. But Mhok will be oblivious, completely blindsided by Day's words and behaviour.

Mhok who hides from any internal study by focusing on what's outside. He focuses on Day, puts everything into Day. He attaches himself to Day's vulnerability, but he carefully keeps his own vulnerability behind sky high walls.

He kissed Day in a moment of Day's vulnerability, he took strength from it and did the scary thing (but perhaps Mhok's fear was tempered by the imbalance of power that always exists between them). Now Mhok needs to tear down the walls. He needs to make himself more vulnerable than he has ever seen Day. And he has to do it with the knowledge that Day doesn't need him, and Day might not want or choose him. Mhok has relied on his position of power in their relationship, he has keep secrets and made decisions that benefited him whilst telling himself that it was all for Day.

Mhok needs to be scared and alone, he needs to feel the threat of abandonment. He needs to feel like Day did when Mhok pranked him at the beach.

He needs to do the big scary thing, and he needs to do it from a place of powerlessness and respect.

My little sister said you’re probably pretty cool

She also wants to start writing but she doesn’t have many ideas for what to write. I don’t know how to help since I always have too many ideas. Any methods you know to get inspiration?

(Also I’m gonna start using your ask box as a safe spot to hang out in if that’s okay)

aldkfjadf and you sent me an ask?

My dude, you're going to keep me up all night with this crazy sweetness <3 I would love you to hang out with me

I may or may not have done the typical Hannah thing and already created the blog whose idea I had 10 seconds ago

Uhm, anyway... honestly? My issue is I get inspired by literally anything and every. Single. Thing. I can't have a single conversation without getting inspired to make something. Or someone.

So like........... Idk? Does she know what kind of story she wants to write? Like, what does she like to read?

is that the place from this video???? https://youtu.be/mOtlF0ywH_s (Understanding Visual Perception in Autism)

Yes it is!

In fact I saw this thumbnail a few months ago while hanging at a friend's place (they had youtube projected on the tv and were scrolling through recommended videos) and I was like "HEY scroll back a second I know that fucking library"

The foyer of Baker my beloved...... the number of times I used that as a warm-cut to get between the Kresge science complex and Thayer.... Those chairs are comfy as hell I miss those chairs. I heard they got rid of Kaf (the connected King Arthur Flour cafe)... How the hell could they get rid of Kaf? Where else will the econ majors get their coffee while not bothering to attend their classes...

Heyyy! I found your blog like 2 months ago and when I tell you I’m in love. I’ve been reading fics for like 8+ years and you’re my favorite fic writer (especially for Aki ❤️‍🔥🫶🏾‼️) You’re so skilled at painting scenes and expressing emotions. You make me feel like I’m fully immersed in your writing. Your writing is a world of its own. It moves my emotions so profoundly. It’s clear and vivid and warm and loving.

When I first read your fics, I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what made them so special to me. But when I explored your blog, I figured it out! I think it’s because you write from a place of genuine love (especially for Aki skskskfj). And that’s felt all throughout your writing.

I love the coziness y’all got going on here. Everybody here is just so comfortable voicing all their thoughts and feelings. It feels like home over here. I wanna join y’all. This is your reminder that your writing always touches my heart and soul 💫☁️

ahem…. 🧌 this is a very extra introduction I’m sorry in advance. Take this as a token of my apology

I almost teared up when I first read your ask this morning... I can't express how grateful I am, thank you so so much for saying that. I'm really so happy you enjoy my fics. my heart feels warm knowing you think so highly of my writing... gaaaahhhh I'm just so appreciative I will actually burst like a big bubble

I hope you know your tags, your humor, brightens up my day. I love your brain 😂❤️

DAWN 🥹🥹 stop this loveliness at once or i'll have to ask for your hand!! thank you ever so much my dear <33

i almost can't believe we're mutuals I love your blog. you post bangers constantly and I'm honored to share this website with you.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO HEAR!! I'm grinning ear to ear irl!!! I'm so happy to be mutuals and share this website with you as well!! Thank you so much! Have a fantastic day/night!!!!! :DDDD

Really love your art style- taking notes on how you do hair and clothes because it's freaking GORGEOUS. Your linework and sense of space and volume is just absolutely beautiful basoeksiwkanjapwol I don't have the words but your style is seriously one of my favorites ever :3 Hope you're having a lovely day!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! omg this means so much to me i'm want to cry (/pos) the fact that you took the time to write such a detailed description of what you like about MY ART is blowing my mind honestly like when i started posting more mcyt things it never crossed my mind that my art would stick out to people because there's already so many absolutely AMAZING artists out there that you could pay attention but messages like these remind me that art is not a competition and that there will always be people out there that will love what you put out no matter what :'))))) it's also really fun to hear an outsiders perspective of my style and what stands out to them because i can spend so much time analyzing my style and pointing out everything that i think is "wrong" but it's nice to take a step back and hear that all your hard work is worth it and that i am making progress on the things that i am working on improving :))

I do think honestly people try to take the issues trans women face and 1:1 them onto transmasculine experiences and just cannot fathom that that's not how that works

hiii!! ok normally I don’t just come into ppl’s inboxes for the heck of it but after reading ur android shouto thing I just HAD TO

you are one of the most talented and creative writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. like I see ur posts on my dash and they’re always such unique concepts or AUs and written so beautifully. like the android shouto thing u just posted? I NEVER would have thought of smthn like that, but now that u wrote it, it makes perfect sense. todoroki definitely has the kind of personality that would fit an android that’s so desperate to feel human emotion.

basically what I’m trying to say is that you continuously blow me away with how talented you are at writing. keep doing whatever it is ur doing, bc it’s clearly working.

I hope you have an amazing day!!!

oh, hello di 🥺✨️ this is the first message i'm seeing upon waking up so — good morning !!! from my side of the world !! and also thank you so much for being the first ray of sunshine for me today 🥺

this is such a huge compliment i don't even know what to say sjghskaka how sweet of you 🥺 i'm so honored that you think my lil sillies are unique !!!! thank you !!! i actually have so many thoughts about android shouto ajfhska as well as spin-off thoughts about android dabi !! it's such a good story for them !!! being their father's product akfhsiaiak

you're so kind 🥺 thank you for setting the tone of my day as a sweet one !!! i hope that your day is amazing as well and that the weekend treats you wonderfully !!! 🥺🦋🌿

ok ok so i’m not a super knowledge music/composer/soundtrack person but your narnia ask reminded me of the other soundtrack i was horrifyingly obsessed with, circa middle school: peter pan (2003) by james newton howard. and i just looked him up and it looks like he has done work on movies MUCH more prolific than my silly little peter pan movie. anyway, i’m bored at work so i thought i’d ask if you have any james newton howard rambles/opinions.

(i do not have any particular attachment to jnh himself so i won’t be offended if you have no opinions or if you have opinions and they’re negative. this is pure curiosity.)

(also yes i’d love your study/soundtrack playlist link <333)

YEAH !!! he's done quite a few of my favorite scores ever, including the hunger games series and the dark knight trilogy* and overall his work is very. orchestral. like. obviously everyone's work is orchestral, but jnh specifically sounds like something I'd hear at a concert hall <33 I can't explain it but it's true <333

*he's credited alongside hans zimmer (another one of my all-time faves) and idk how the work was split between the two but regardless it's some of my favorite music (even if the trilogy itself isn't very comics-accurate 😔😔😔😔😔)

overall I think my favorite thing about jnh is how soothing his music is ??? especially his work with the hunger games soundtracks because obviously there's the more intense action music for fight scenes but a lot of the soundtrack is very calm and contemplative. and I really really love it <33 in that same vein, one of my all time favorite tracks in the hunger games trilogy is monkey mutts. most of the song is very intense and unsettling, but my favorite part is 2:37 to the end. it's sooooo <3333333 I'm not gonna lie, I really wish that part of the soundtrack was separate from the rest of that piece because I'm not an overly huge fan of jnh's more intense, faster-paced music. it's not BAD, but there's just some composers who I think do action music a little better. but like I said I looooove the calmer pieces howard does <3 he uses string instruments so well!!!! my TOTAL favorite piece, hands down, is rue's farewell. it's such an interesting one because it's a death scene, but it doesn't really seem sad until the very end. it's so...peaceful. it's like walking down a beach at sunset and listening to the waves. and that's really interesting to me because the character who's dying grew up in this totally shitty world and she's suffered so much and now she's just. at peace. and the music reflects it and BOY I go insane <3!!

the dark knight trilogy is also really fun!!! it's a different flavor of music for sure; the hunger games is very calm and gentle but tdk has a lot more intensity in the music. and I actually quite enjoy it despite what I just said about how I feel about jnh doing faster/more intense music, but hans zimmer being a collaborator on the soundtrack may or may not have something to do with that. idk how they split up the work, but I really love the end result regardless!! I'm not a hero is one of my favorites!! it's very,,, varied. it has a lot of different sections and moving parts but I LOOOOVE it <3 personal issues with the trilogy aside, it really captures the whole batman vibe! there's also a lot of jnh's more calmer and reflective style throughout the soundtrack, and it's a good mix with zimmer's style imo!!

he also did treasure planet!!!!!!!!!!! it's like. my favorite disney movie <333 my favorite tracks include 12 years later (it has a lot of jnh's calm/contemplative style!! and also jim's theme with a really neat underlying electric guitar <33 makes a man like me so crazy) and silver leaves (which, you guessed it, also has a very calm atmosphere to it)

all in all I think jnh's best work comes from the calmer more atmospheric music!! I think my favorite of his works is the hunger games series, but honestly I'm not super picky either way <333

also here's my soundtrack playlist!! it started out as a little study playlist for finals week but at this point it's become where I keep all my favorite movie soundtracks lmao!! I add to it almost daily so right now it's at 15 hours but by the end of the week? who knows <33 but idk none of the compilations I've ever found have actually had All Of My Faves so like. fuck it I'll do it myself <3 I could probably ramble all day long about every individual composer on that playlist but <33 for the sake of brevity I will not <333
