#if u noticed me fighting the weird formatting of this post no u didn't

[josephtrohman]

Do you have any Joetrick recs?

kicking my feet twirling my hair blinking my big wet eyes at you holding u gently in my arms so on and so forth...i Am still working on a real full fics recs page but it's like a bigger job than i expected so idk when i'll be done it ...anyways maybe one day but for now here are my favest faves :^) sorry it's a lot and i kind of said too much BGDJKGBDHJGB, CLEARLY im very passionate (also no matter what i do the formatting keeps getting messed up lmfao sorry.)

combinatorics by heyginger. patrick is in luvvv with joe when joe starts online dating during tour, and basically tension and feelings and etc etc ensue. the first time i read it i was like running around my house and squealing out loud and everything bc it's just that perfect, and it really only gets better upon re-reading bc you pick up on little things you didn't notice the first time! the tension and the misunderstandings are, at times, painful and you really feel everything patrick is going through, but it really keeps you on your toes! i feel like the characterization is perfect in this and i just can't get enough. also this is the fic i read to my partner (if you are a true josephtrohman fan and saw the post HAHAHAH), he really enjoyed it and is interested in me reading more of my favs to him bc of it, so it even has the normie stamp of approval ;)

hedonism by rosiedoesfic. patrick is in a toxic relationship with pete, but patrick and joe begin an affair and it leads to a mess of feelings and fighting and etc etc. it's angsty and it hurts and everything like that but god it's also sooo brilliantly written. rosie has this amazing gift of writing the voices so realistically, including and especially the complexities of joe's inner monologue! i mean not that i know joe’s inner monologue irl obviously but it feels so realistic…this fic a punch in the gut to read, and obviously i prefer when fob are like Friends rather than fighting but this fic is insanely beautiful that i can look past that preference of mine lol. one of the fics i've re-read the most because it's been a fave for a long time. so so so heart-achingly GOOD.

thnks fr th knckers by rosiedoesfic. a pair of panties gets thrown on stage at a show, and the floodgates open essentially, with patrick at the centre of it, grappling with finding it hot and also thinking it's weird basically. because of this internal dilemma, the tension (sorry i don't have a better word it's always tension lol) is like soooo perfect, like patrick fighting it but he can't UGHGHBG. it's a little naughty obviously but with some real plot and this is probably the singular fic i've reread the most throughout my life!!! i'm not even normally into panty kink stuff (not a problem with it, it's just something that's never been like a big turn on for me or anything) but this fic is AMAZING.

above are my three favest faves EVER and i go absolutely nutso for them, as you can tell!! i kind of cycle through the three of those for which one i call my all time favourite depending on my mood <3 if you only are interested in reading some of these, PLEASE PLEASE read the above three!!! i could go on forever and ever about them and just really leave this reclist there at those three, but just cuz i loveeee to talk about fic i'll touch on some others

in general, you really can't go wrong with any of rosie's fics!! i've read literally every single joetrick fic she's ever written and all of them are amazing, seriously very much our joetrick queen (hi rosie if you're reading this <3). some specific highlights for me in her catalogue include fairytale of new york (a really neat holidays fic with a hint of magic, i just re-read it the other day even tho it's july and it's so so so good) and technology (another fic written for the same prompt as combinatorics, all about online dating and catching feelings!! ughhhh amazing). i also would be remiss to NOT mention the world's not waiting which has an almost legendary status in joetrick/fob world, and rightfully so bc it's SOOO good and sweeps you away and then you blink and your whole day was spent just reading this fanfic lol...and it's been on a bit of pause BUT rosie has promised she's planning on resuming when she has time so better get to reading it so you're ready whenever there's the next update anon ;)

heyginger's got some other great ones too but there are only i think like 2 other joetrick fics on heyginger's page (both are shorter but SOOOO GOOD - bdsm and good fortune. since they're shorter i'll let the fics speak for themself!)

ok ok now for a couple outside of just gushing about rosie and heyginger BGDHBGHJDB. im going to keep the descriptions etc to a more minimum cuz im losing steam but. yeah ;)

my heart goes with you by likeasugarcube. prom fic with amazing smut, this is one of the first joetrick fics i remember reading as a teen and i always keep coming back to it!

intensity by likethepaint. perfect lil fic about patrick's temper, or rather, patrick's intensity, and stuff basically, and no further spoilers :) but really good!

there is no natural religion by carleton97. short and a lil smutty, and i'll leave it at that :)

brace yourself and find a safe place by distortedmya. amazing fic about joe coming out as an adult, and it's soooo sweet <3

summer of like by heartofthesunrise. yes it may be the petekey title but it more focusses on j+p with some petekey drama off to the side that ends early on actually if i remember correctly. so dang sweet and the way the writing places you in the ambiance is kind of magical (i first read it in the winter and reading it truly felt like it was summer!)

sorry if this is a lot. i didn't expect to pop off but hi. the way this is me holding back a bit too, im crazy and you all know it GDBHBDHJBGDJBJ. clearly im passionate about this topic and i hope you enjoy my recs!!!!! and dont find me too annoying dear anon hahahahah

#i love u anon u are my fav forever #anonymous #asks #sorry again this is so long. can u tell im stupid and like fic BHVDBHFJBDHJFBHJD #fic recs #the formatting keeps getting messed up lmfao

[ninlilwinds]

Hi! May I request a platonic Scaramouche, Venti, Zhongli and Ei with isekai’d best friend reader? The reader tries to keep it a secret from them for their safety but eventually, the characters find out, and they keep asking what their world is like and how other people view them in their world etc. I hope this isn’t too much, thank you!

So I wasn't sure if you meant that you came from a world where genshin was a game or just from another world so I just did the one where genshin was a game since I think that's what you meant. If it isn't please let me know and I'll rewrite it with pleasure! P.S. Sorry it took so long time to write!

Plot: isekai'd reader can't keep the seceret much longer! How will the genshin characters react?

Characters: Venti, Scaramouche, Zhongli, Ei

Warning: Not proofread. Also posted on my phone so format might be weird. If you spot any major mistakes let me know and I'll fix them!!

Venti

• Venti found you one day while u were looking at the statue of the anemo god near windrise. You looked like you weren't from around the area and he sensed a strange presence coming from you, but despite that, he still took you back to Monstadt • After that Venti was your personal guide! He introduced you to the Monstadt culture and made sure you were well accommodated • During those times you two became quite close, although he noticed you seemed a bit strange whenever you interacted with the people. • He noticed you knew many many facts about this world, even ones he didn't think anyone else knew. • Like the day you accidentally let it slip that you knew he was a god.......

You listened to Venti play a song on his lyre while telling you the story of a tyrant king who took control of a kingdom and trapped the people. As you listened to the story you sighed. Ah, you remembered this. It made your heartache. "I'm so sorry Barba-...I mean Venti! I mean not sorry! Haha, I meant that's a great story." You struggled to recover from the slip.

Venti raised his eyebrows and frowned, "(Y/N) I know we haven't been friends for long, but I consider you one of my closest friends! Is there something you would like to tell me about, my dear companion?"

You sighed. There was no way you could play this off. So you explained everything about where you came from and how everyone knew them there because they were....famous. you spared him the fact that he was a character from a game in fear he'd be upset.

Venti's eyes slowly widened as you continued to say your story, "So your like the traveller's from another world? And people from your world know me?"

You nodded, "Yeah. You've become popular lately. "

"In a good or bad way?" He wondered if they knew him for his mistakes or for something else.

"Depends on who you ask. Many like you and some don't."

• You spent the rest of the afternoon explaining to Venti about your world and how things worked. • He was really curious and hoped one day maybe he could explore your world with you.

Scaramouche

• The day you appeared you'd acted very different. When you saw him you began to look around and then say how you wished this wasn't a dream • He had to reassure you that you were in fact very much awake • After that, you seemed very happy about it all and immediately asked if you could join him • He was shocked, to say the least, but agreed because he wanted to study you further. Where did you come from and what were you doing there? • During the coming months, Scara found himself actually becoming very close with you. He liked how helpful you were during missions and how you seemed to know where everything was. Yes, he's selfish at times, but deep down we all know that was just an excuse. He'd never admit he actually enjoyed your company

"It's that way." You said pointing in the direction of the chest at the end, "and there's going to be a few monsters you have to fight to get it first." Scaramouche nodded and sent his men away so he could get rid of the monsters by himself without any holdbacks. As he walked down a question continued to play through his head. One he'd had for a long time now. How did you know all of this?

"Have you been here before?" He asked.

You shrugged, "In a way."

"Is that so." He frowned and reached the end. Sure enough, there were a few hoards of monsters he had to take care of. Before he opened the chest he turned towards you weapon still in hand, "How do you know so much? Are you a threat? An archon?"

You looked at him nervously, "Sc-Scara...no need for the sword. I'm just...I just know things ok." "Where did you get this knowledge?" He asked, adjusting his grip on the weapon.

You sighed and explained your situation, making sure to not make any sudden movements that would cause him to attack. He stared at you for a long time, the information you had told him still registering.

"Is that so?" He said crossing his arms You nodded and he gave in, putting his swords away

• He wouldn't ask you many questions at once but he would ask them spread out. Here and there sometimes two at a time sometimes only one • And he'd still keep you around despite how uneasy it makes him that you know so much about him. But he trusts you enough

Zhongli

• He found you wandering the street of Liyue. You bumped into him and your eyes widened, your mouth falling open in shock. • He found your reaction quite amusing and when you invited him for tea he accepted. Similar to Venti he felt something different and off about you • Whenever he would sit down with you in the coming weeks you would have very deep conversations about the past • He found it a bit shocking and interesting how well you knew the history of not only Liyue, but seemingly the whole of Teyvet • One day he decided to ask you about it.

After a deep conversation about the landscape of Liyue and Rex Lapis, Zhongli decided to ask you the question that had been pressing him for a while now, "(Y/N), your not from around here are you?" You looked up at him in a bit of surprise at the question, "What do you...mean?"

" Well, you don't seem like you're from this world in general. But perhaps I'm mistaken and you're simply from another nation."

You knew Zhongli could keep a secret, so you decided it'd be best to tell him. The secret was weighing on you too so you wanted someone to help you with it.

"Actually you're right. I'm not from this world." You said and looked at Zhongli. He nodded and looked at you as if to say you has his full attention. You explained everything about your life before and your world and how you actually knew much about him because of where you came from.

• Zhongli found all of this very interesting and he would sit down with you for some tea just for the purpose of listening to you explain more about your world • He asked how he was known in your world and you explained the concept of video games and such • At first, he was confused but eventually he got the idea and asked about that game in particular. You two would have many conversations about this topic but if you ever seemed uncomfortable about it he would immediately stop and change the subject

Ei

• I don't really see her bumping into you, but maybe I'd Kujo Sara one day found you being suspicious and she brought you in for judgment, she would notice something different about you • The way you dressed and talked was very different from any of the nations • She would tell Kujo Sara to let you go and she would sit down with you that evening for dinner and talk to you • She knew you had secrets but she wouldn't push them out of you out of respect. She knew what it was like to have a bad past and didn't want to make you uncomfortable • And so the days went by and you two grew fairly close considering how she treated most.

"Would you like to try this? It's a delicious dessert that is perfect for a sunny day." She asked you.

You nodded and tasted it, "Mm it tastes like something I'd have back at home."

This seemed like the perfect opportunity for her, "Your home? What is that like?"

You described where you lived in some detail and she listening intently. 

"How interesting. That doesn't sound like any place I've heard of." She noted.

You shifted uncomfortably, "Ah it's....a pretty unknown area around here."

"Is there a reason for that?" She asked. When you nodded she asked, "Why?"

You considered your options in that moment and decided it was best if you simply told her what actually was your situation.

"Well its bc its not here in Inazuma...or Teyvat. I came from another world. Much like the traveller that you met a few months ago. But unlike them, I know a lot of this world because where I came from this place is part of it but in a different way."

Ei hummed quietly as she tried to understand what you had just told her and then she nodded, "I had already assumed as much. Why don't you tell me more?"

• Many conversations about your world but as soon as she notices your uncomfortable about a topic, she stops and tells you a little bit about herself in change • And so your relationship grows in this back and forth storytelling

[v-katsuki]

@maderilien thank you so much for tagging me! 🥺💕

(i feel like this post got too long, so i'm going to put it under a read more 😅)

How many works do you have on AO3?

technically 47, but only 38 are available for reading right now.

What’s your total AO3 word count?

229706 words… a bit disappointing considering that i have been using my account since 2015 :/

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

hmm… i have written for more fandoms, but currently on my ao3 there are five different ones: yuri on ice, haikyuu!!, mo dao zu shi, scum villain, and word of honor. here's the complete list.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. unexpected cohabitation (svsss, lqg/sy)

2. For the sake of convenience (mdzs, nhs/jc)

3. and they were teammates… oh my god! they were teammates (mdzs, lwj/wwx)

4. #1 Dads (mdzs, gen)

5. Taste your beating heart (mdzs, lwj/wwx)

(kinda sad because i wrote a bunch of yoi fics and yet, there's no yoi fics here lol 😔)

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

i always respond to comments! i don't get comments too often so i really appreciate it when people take a moment of their time to let me know what they think about my writing.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

i don't like angsty endings so i don't write angsty endings lol… but i suppose some of my fics have endings that are more open and not completely happy like the one i wrote for the screvenge au zine: When midnight approaches (mdzs, nhs/jc).

Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

no, i really don't like crossovers so i have never written one 😩 i'm currently trying to change that by writing my first (and probably only) crossover ever, but it's definitely not a crazy one.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

yes. i have gotten generic hate by a fandom troll that i don't care about, but also Real Hate that makes me want to cry sometimes 😔

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

i have written smut, but it's mostly to experiment with my writing and not because it's something i like to do lol so i don't do it often (like,, once or twice every couple of years). it's the kind of smut i, a very aroace person, am comfortable with, which means it's subtle and not very explicit lol.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yeah 😭 i haven't talked a lot about this (but i think i should lol), and i don't know if this counts exactly as having a fic stolen, but i still want to cry when i remember this and my writing was used without my permission, so in my book that's enough to call it stealing??

anyway, someone translated one of my fics (won't name the fic/fandom but it's one of the fics that i hold closer to my heart which makes this worse lol) without my permission, posted it, and then went off in the comments trying to explain my writing like they were the original author while they keep mentioning how much my fic hurt their eyes. i don't speak their language, so i don't know if they made changes to my fic, or something like that 😔 and i only noticed about this because someone else got in contact with me to ask for my permission to translate another one of my fics. afterward, i stated on twt and ao3 that i don't allow any kind of use of my writing without my permission and the translation was taken down, but now it's been a few months and it's back online 🙃 (i suppose they thought i forgot about this 😭).

Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes! last year a cold winter morning (mdzs, nhs/jc) [x] and and they were teammates… oh my god! they were teammates [x] got russian translations by kind people.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

technically no, but i have planned a couple of fics with a friend before and even though i did all the writing, i still consider them a collaboration. i really want to co-write a fic with someone, though, i think it'd be an interesting experience lol.

What’s your all time favourite ship?

i don't know. my heart is big enough to love a bunch of ships with the same intensity ❤️ lol, but now that we're talking about my writing, i suppose it'd be fair to let my ao3 speak, so i guess these two are the top contenders:

iwaoi is not there, but also iwaoi.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

i have a lot of wips that i don't think i'll ever finish for a lot of reasons. one of them is a non traditional soulmate au that i wanted to write because i don't like soulmate aus, but at the same time i don't like that idea enough to keep working on it, at least not right now.

What are your writing strengths?

according to former betas, my writing is easy to read and i am good at writing characters' feelings, so i guess those are.

What are your writing weaknesses?

i'm a sloooow writer, i'm not consistent, i avoid writing longfics, i'm bad at descriptions and struggle with dialogue… the list goes on.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

in some cases i think it contributes positively to the fic! but in others it's just… too awkward, overused, and weird (don't want to generalize, but some writers only speak one language and it shows). in any case, italicizing dialogue and indicating it's a different language it's the most practical solution to do this and avoid mistakes.

personally, i have done both: include short sentences in languages i know with translations in the notes, and italicizing for languages i don't know or when the dialogue is long or doesn't influence the plot).

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

it was phineas and ferb way over a decade ago, back when i was only able to write in spanish because my english was terrible.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

that's s difficult question because i can't pick favorites and i'm my #1 hater.

i still like Long yearning (mdzs, nhs/jc) a lot, it was the first fic i completed for the pairing and probably my best one. From sunset to daybreak (mdzs, gen) is also one of the best i've written? for yoi... i suppose Oh Hero! My Hero! (viktuuri + minor pairings) is not to bad even though it's not a Serious Fic™

😡 + ✌ + ✍ + ✔ + ☯ + ▲ + ▼ + ♫ + ❤ + ⌘ + ღ + ☂ (Sending these again in case the first ask didn't go through, with some more symbols; please answer this one, instead!)

Oh my god Kame why. From this meme about roleplaying! This is going to be LONG POST!

😡Worst role play-related encounter and what advice you would give to others to avoid similar situations?

Ok. So something I still feel guilty about is hurting some irl feelings (years ago!) when everyone got a little too emotionally invested. I assume the party involved was younger and like many rp’d to be part of a community. They got attached to Orochi who discarded them because A) he’s Orochimaru and B) I might have had some primal negative reaction to people trying to know me. I’m sure it really upset them & still hope they are ok.

After school special: ALWAYS be aware of the line between muse & mun. ALWAYS try to understand people might be younger or not understand something. If you’re ever not sure it is never “immersion-breaking” to ask after people OOC so everyone is on the same page. A lot of people project themselves through their character & its not exactly healthy. There was a point in my life I had no social support except RP & it was not a good thing! 

✌ : Fondest role-play memory, between muses?

I met one of my best friends way back in the 2007 chat-room days. She had a cat girl OC named Shadow. That’s how 2007. But we’ve been through a lot together but eventually her character married some character from an entirely different fandom (True Blood?) & Orochimaru became her weird (ex-husband) patronly figure?? And just their smart ass dynamic and him having to interact with other foreign characters was really fun.

Also my beloved Twitter Kabuto had married a med nin OC employed by Oro to assist. Eventually there was an RP baby & letting Orochimaru hold it was like THE cutest shit I have ever written.

✍ : Offer 3-5 tips on how to get other role players started on interacting with your muse.

Ask him questions. Orochimaru loves answering questions. Its less fun knowing all of this shit if nobody asks him anything.

Be respectful. Or not respectful depending on how you want shit to go down. My Orochi isn’t quick to anger but he doesn’t necessarily have to be angry to stab you.

Memes bro. I actually don’t write much anymore as I’m sure you noticed my blog has become snakes & silliness. But if I can answer asks in short I surely will.

✔ : What drew you to the character you currently play? What types of characters are you generally drawn to?

Snakes? I’m a sucker for a good villain, is what. Orochimaru was just my kind of creepy yet elegant shit. I seem to be drawn to villains and anti-heroes that look inhuman but behave very humanly and are terrible at acknowledging it. Give me those depressed, jilted, mentally ill villains that have perfectly valid reasons for being the way they are and just mess them up. 

☯ : Greatest challenge to writing your character?

Its been so long its hard to say. I think perhaps that I feel sometimes I don’t write him EVIL enough. Like my Orochimaru is sort of benign amongst other Orochi writers. I like to play up his backwards benevolence and his intelligence but I don’t like to fight with him. Other muses usually pick up on this & nobody has forced his hand or questioned him. Dat charisma.

▲ : What sort of information do you like to see on someone’s role play page that helps you determine whether or not you would want to write with them?

I mean I like an about page for OCs def. I always peek at blogs that interact with me. I don’t interact with people that seem like they’re super serious and exclusive because I just. I’m a filthy casual at everything in life.

▼ : Are there popular head canons for your character that you disagree with? Why?

I don’t conform to the hyper sexualized, everything-is-debauchery take on Orochimaru. His true love is information and its not even a healthy relationship.

♫ : Are there parts of your own personality that you reflect onto your character? How do they work?

Ohohoho boy. As I mentioned I spent a couple years living through Orochimaru and they weren’t good years. Denying people access to me on the grounds of that being ridiculous was definitely the worst of it. I still have a hard time with it myself. On a lighter note thinking logically & this dark sense of humor work with him flawlessly.

❤ : What are some role-plays that you have done/are doing that you particularly enjoy and wish to share with your followers?

Oh man! I’ve deleted all my links, I think. But definitely a thread I did with Sasuke (HybernalOnyx I think) Wherein both characters were jailed together after the war. It went on awhile & got deep. 

When I first joined tumblr I was in some RP groups. One was a modern AU where a veteran Orochi settled down after a lifetime of fieldwork to manage the town’s library. One thread Orochimaru hurt his damn self & an only recently acquainted Kabuto helped him despite snake stubbornness. It was cute, man.

Also did a thread in a different group with a Gaara wherein Orochimaru espionage’d around in the form of a horned viper. Shenanigans ensued.

⌘ : Where do you get some of your inspirations for plots/head canons? Offer an example, if possible.

Huehuehue. Studies and documentaries in psychology and science give me ideas sometimes. Asylum horror movies also. Orochimaru’s various mental illnesses are definitely there. The ‘Alligator heart shunt’ experiment had just been laying around in one of my biology labs. Morgues. I’m big on morgues.

ღ : What sorts of plots/characters/scenes do you have the most difficulty writing, and why?

Writing fast paced action is always difficult because you have to depend on your partner so much. Those are best done in chat rooms or short format rp’s and I write...like I write a lot of stuff guys. I’m a descriptive asshole.

Also sometime different muses approach him in ways I have a hard time justifying him not like. you know. Killing them?? I don’t want to be a bitch but at the same time Orochimaru has no time for you??

☂ : Spread some love: mention someone you’ve met that has influenced you or your writing in a positive way, and explain how.

I’ve literally met a lifelong friend through rp & I still love her. I love Sammy my OG Twitter Kabuto for pushing me over to Tumblr where I can write as much as I want. I love @uchihasavior for all the meta (& ItaOro what). I love U for continuing to interact with me even though I half-ass everything now.
