📚 🔪 🦴 huehue
Hewwo sorry SORRY idk your huehue just triggered that I'm sorry. So sorry. Anyway 😅 thanks for the ask! Sorry I assulted you. ily
📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?
"Isn't it crazy how a room full of people can make you feel so alone?"
I woke up at 3am and scrambled to write this down 'cause I thought it was the most philosophical thing... God, I wish I could make my asleep brain write everything.
<I'm crying, man! That's how emo I am! I'm fucking crying!>
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
Man, there's so much weird shit.
Uhh, I think the grossest was probably about brain and blood parasites. That shit still keeps me up at night.
The worst was obviously about concentration camps and conversion therapy. That one fucking sucked ass, just reading it was awful.
The dumbest was, "What's temperature is a dead body?" The absolute clownery I felt trying to calculate was just top-tier idiocy. Jaysus.
My favorite is probably a split between Romani and Native American folk lore. I could spend hours talking about it. It's just so fascinating, and there's really nothing quite like it?
The most ridiculous was probably about beer glasses. There's like the main 8 types of beers, and then there are 13 different kinds of glasses? Something like that, I don't know. As soon as I no longer needed the information, I purged it from my brain, lol.
🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?
Damn, like one specific thing? I have no idea.
I would probably say music would be like the most prevalent one?
I mean, obviously, other books and folklore and stuff, but I would say music is the one consistent thing in all of my projects.
I think that it [music] helps my process, inspiration, my focus, even down to my mental health that I would I say I owe a lot to music. None of what I just said makes sense, but that's fine! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi hi thank you so much for all the emojis!! 🥰
🕯️ ⇢ on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?
Pffftt well, I've been "editing" my book for the past two years, so..... Joking aside, I would probably give it a solid 8. Nothing is as good as seeing all the hard work you've put in and then just giving it that extra little cherry on top!
Now, if you're asking me about spelling and grammar editing.... Don't.

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?
I've never written a reader insert but now yall got me thinking 😅
🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before
I have this weird thing where everyone thinks I look like someone else, and it's caused some pretty hilarious phenomenons. One time at the airport, a kid started screaming and crying because I waved at them. I still, to this day, have absolutely no idea who they thought I was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
🎲 ⇢ what stops you from writing more in your free time?
So I have this fun little thing called ADHD...... But yeah, honestly, I'm incredibly chaotic, and while trying to keep up with the real-life stuff and all the distracting stuff and all the projects I got going...... Yeah, that's why I'm typically up until 2 am writing lol
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Yay another one!!!
Zukka (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Anytime Hakoda takes Sokka for some father-son bonding time, Sokka relentlessly insists Zuko come along. Zuko and Hakoda think he's just being a clingy boyfriend, but he just wants to show Zuko that he is deserving of love from a father figure and that Iroh isn't just doing it out of guilt.
(In turn, Iroh tags along from time to time, and their trips quickly go from family bonding to a dad joke battle)
🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?
Literally just come say hi!! I swear, contrary to popular lore, I don't bite!
🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now
I'm very lucky. Everyone in my family is doing great. Having this great opportunity to finish and publish my book. And I have great, supporting and loving friends 🖤
📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?
"He was just one of this like shitty guitar players in a shitty band."
"And?"
"And he was in a punk band, and I did graffiti. Can I make it more obvious?"
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
I never finished Stranger Things' first season, I don't know that I even got through the first five episodes. I was so bored the whole time.
Bonus hot take; I had the exact opposite problem with The Walking Dead. Around season five, I got really bored.
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
Guys, go Google New England Vampire Panic. Very interesting to read about, and also a good band name if you're from New England!
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
Even if you absolutely suck at it, if it's something you love, do it with all the confidence in the world, and you'll find your place.
+ Nobody's as confident as they claim. It's all a production. Fake it 'til you make it, but don't sell your soul over it.
❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
So I've recently gotten into Baldur's Gate, and I just really fucking need Gale and Astarion on like a buddy cop mission where it's just absolute clown to clown communication. Gale being his waxing poetic self, and Astarion is far too emo and far too gay for this shit.
I don't know! I'm willing to bully all my friends until one of them picks it up or I just do it myself lol
🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity
Don't force it. If it's not coming to you take a break don't chase it! You'll only wear yourself out and hate what you did write.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but it sure burnt down in one. Remember that.
🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh
Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy?
🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Very specifically, "You're evil"
Muahahahahaha 😈
🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate
Oh man, I don't think there's absolutely anything redeemable about that woman.
1.) Uhh, when she shuts up, she's cute ig.
2.) She's fun to write because I don't get to be pure evil a lot.
3.)................... She's kinda the gateway to one of my favorite characters?? 👀
🥝 ⇢ do you lie a lot? what's the most recent lie you told?
Here's a fun little fact about me, I'm brutally honest sometimes to the point of offense 😅 and I don't ever really have a need to lie.
That being said, I love randomly lying to strangers for literally no reason. Just recently, someone was being rude and interrupted my dinner with my family, so when they asked what I did for a living, I gave them a very detailed description of how I work in a morgue. I've never worked in a morgue a day in my life lol but it got them to leave me alone.
🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately
Man, this might be too deep for tumblr, but it's that time of year again when I can't stop thinking about death and all that good stuff. I'll spare you guys the gritty details, though.
🪲 ⇢ add 50 words to your current wip and share the paragraph here
"Look, when I moved out here, I got a mess in Oakland waiting for me, okay? My friend got all this shit and fucked this guy over and this crazy motherfucker showed up ate half my burger and killed a fucking guy. When the boss showed up, told me to get his wife outta there, I did and I ain't never been back. I got know idea what's waiting there for me."
"Hm, that's unfortunate," I crossed my arms, "Especially 'cause I watched it happen in Pulp Fiction with you last night!"
"Goddamn it."
☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?
So I answered the username part over here, so I'm going to answer about my pen name now!
I actually changed my pen name fairly recently to Gabryél Grimm-Goretz. Gabryél is actually part of my legal name 😅 and so I thought it would be cool to use it because i never get to use it day to day. I went with Grimm-Goretz to kinda represent my family and heritage in a way while also leaning into how my writing is typically grim and gory.
🐝 ⇢ tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them
Whelp, we've got a nice handful of followers over here now, and unfortunately, I can't tag everyone. BUT I want to tell you all that you are appreciated. You are talented, and you are loved! Never let anyone tell you you're not good enough 'cause they're no better 🖤
🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them
Right here! uwu
🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it
I'm gonna be a little bit of a punk ass and tag myself here lol Link link link
I did this piece last year in celebration of one of my favorite band's new albums, and yeah! I just love it. It came out so good.
🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?
When a narrator is like, "She smiled tit-ly, so deeply that her large pendulum breasts heaved, then jiggled tightly into her pink, completely see-through lace bra. Her breasts were no doubt expressing their own excitement." 🙄
For you 😌💞

🥑🍄🦋 hehehe
Thanks for the ask! Heh heh 😈
🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
I dunno, man. It sounds kinda FED-y to me! 👀 but ig if I gotta implicate someone *cough* @lilypixels *cough* @zynoox *cough*
🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately
*Holds up a copy of NYT* All of this and so much more.
Lately, it's been the double aged sword of being known, if that makes sense?
Like this blog for example, I love doing it, I love helping you guys where I can and interacting with you all, but we all know the internet can be a very draining and daunting place especially for creators/artists. Not only do you have to do the thing, but then you have to go around waving the thing you did in everyone's face, and many people aren't so nice about it.
I don't know, I have this fun little thing where I want to be loud and start a revolution and take over the world, but also if I talk to stranger for longer than five minutes then I'm ready to move to the woods and adopt a reclusive old hag lifestyle 😅
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Okay, I'm gonna do a couple because I'm not sure if this is about my characters that I ship or others, so I'm going to use it as an excuse to gush about both.
Canon ships v
Others: Korra/Asami (The Legend of Korra)
● They've learned to love themselves through the other's eyes. Korra thinks she's too headstrong, which is what Asami adores the most about her, and Asami thinks she wears her heart on her sleeve too much while that's what made Korra fall for her. Because they know that's what got the other's love, it's made them take pride in those parts of themselves.
Mine: Jared/Jayne
● He thinks her calm balances out his crazy, but she thinks his calm balances her crazy. They have a perfect yin and yang to their relationship but really have no idea. They're just following their instincts, and it's always right. They just know the other is exactly what they need and try to repay it to the other in the best way they can.
Noncanon ships v
Others: Steve/Bucky (Marvel)
● They know everything about each other, the good, the bad, and the ugly and love each other because of it, not in spite of it. If Bucky decided to go on a murderous rampage, Steve would be right by his side. If Steve got excommunicated from the US, Bucky's already packed their bags because it's til the end of the line.
Mine: Conner/Parker (It would, could, and probably should never ever happen but like it's there...)
● They have a kind of synchronicity, in a way. Especially with the hard stuff, like emotions. They're both just so in sync with each other, if Conner's had a stressful day Parker's already rented Ghostbusters and is making popcorn, if Parker's fighting with his family Conner makes it a big deal to remind him that there are people that love him. It's just ahh.

Picrew here!
What's my name again?

You know what's weird?
What is just super weird when you think about?
Names.
Names are so weird! They are just stupid little sounds we make to get each other's attention, but we put so much meaning to them to the point where they can really make or break a person through the lens of society, which is ridiculous when you consider a majority of us don't even get to pick our own!
That being said, after a very long consideration and a very, very strange conversation with myself, I've decided I'm changing my pen name!
Yes, for the time being, Izzy Gentz & gentzelpretzel will be placed on an indefinite hiatus. I don't think I will be getting rid of them forever, but for now, I think it's time for a little change.
Not to get all mushy on your dash, but I did pick out Izzy Gentz when I first started writing in high school.
From my perspective, that was a while ago, and while I very much still identify with who I was back then, I do feel like I have grown a lot as well.
The name was picked through jaded eyes at the time as an attempt to cover something I was insecure about, which was having a Latinx name and being Latinx.
While I was growing up, the outside world told me people that look/sound/speak/dress/think like me got nowhere and it's taken a long time escape that conditioning.
I'm the same as I ever was, but now I take pride in it more than ever.
And if you would please allow me to reintroduce myself!
My name is Gabryél Grimm-Goretz.
You're still welcome to call me Izzy if you want. That's still me! But professionally, for now, I will be using Gabryél!
(Note: Everything that is labeled under Izzy Gentz or gentzelpretzel, etc, is still mine and belongs to me)
