#🤡🤡 i don't even think i've been on social media

[acearohippo]

MonkeyLotus + Lewis discover that they have become popular enough to gain a fan base. Lewis loses his shirt (heh) over the fact the he is a meme (in a good way). Ling goes on a rant about how he is an artists worst nightmare (hands? I got six of em’!) and Xuan saves countless videos and animatics. Fanfic is written. Fic is discovered. Chaos ensues. Xuan makes literal essays of thoughtful feedback. Ling subjects Lewis to a dramatic reading of poorly written smut. The internet knows no peace.

You and me, right now? We this 🤞🏼. Cause I've been on that SAME WAVELENGTH FAM. What started as a thought of "What if the review section existed in universe as a way for non-espers to safely and anonymously vent, criticise, praise, and/or make suggestions about the espers around?" And then, because it was a bunch of out-of-touch boomers who decided to make this a thing, they didn't even attempt to but any regulations on it asides from some basic censoring some curse words and body parts. So, imagine the older espers, like gen xers and older millenials, genuinely wanting to hear what people had to say about them MEANWHILE younger millenials and gen Z espers are like "FFUUUUUU- NOOOOOO!"

Cue the first ever espers union live reading of comments, and Li Ling just adamantly refusing to read a single one of his reviews. Tang Xuan is Lost™ and barely focused, Lewis is trying not to bust out laughing in front of the cameras.

"I'm actually illiterate, you ableist piece of shiii-" -Li Ling, straight faced, but flushed maroon and unable to make eye contact.

"I don't even think you'd be allowed to say half this stuff, live" -Lewis, trying to steal a sheet so he can read it out loud to test the censorship crew

"I have bore witness to a string of words I never thought to be grouped together and we, humanity, are forsakened." -Tang Xuan, Traumatised™

Them discovering fandoms and stan content related to them would be equal parts terrifying (for content featuring themselves) and hilarious (for content about their friends).

Eventually, because the trio of them are such chill and go-with-the-flow type of dudes, they'll probably jump in and add to fandom chaos! I'm talking, more fan service, random social media posts quoting lines from pretty well known fanfics, Tang Xuan sharing a crap ton of art, especially ones featuring him and Li Ling with captions like "this could be us but you're playing 🤡", and saving anything nsfw featuring him to a private account "this could be us but you'd rather impale miramon😔". Li Ling actually gets upset when artists forgo his arms, hand-drawing difficulty be damned, "Ableist, all of them! >:(" "bro, wtf is up with you and ableism?? You just learn that word or somefin?" "Besides, you can get rid of your arms at any time, that's not a disability." "Yeah?? And?? Sometimes people in wheelchairs CAN walk, we ain't taking away their wheeling privileges tho" "... I... Mm. I don't like that that is, probably, an... Acceptable comparison. " "Nah, but hard agree, why tf does that make sense?!" "It's called self-advocacy🤌🏽✋🏽👍🏽 😌✌🏽✊🏽🤙🏽"

Lewis commissions artists to draw all sorts of posters and create shirts and what not for the Fire Fists. Tang Xuan makes weekly posts covering his favourite songs and gets super stoked when they're used in AMVs featuring him. Li Ling will not touch social media because of the amount of thirst comments he gets, but he also reads every single social media post he can find on himself and will make references to them.

And the memes. Oh LORD the memes. Once the Boys get a hold of them, it's over for the Union. Or, rather, it's over for the aged Union members and an all out war amongst the younger espers.

fanfic emoji ask: 🤡🎢😈🛒🎯💖🎃🎉✨🤭you don't have to answer them all, or at all. Thanks for the time.

HEHE, thank you for all these.

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

This exchange was inspired by my twitter feed fascination with KT's tattoo, and it makes me giggle every time I remember it. From DEBS AU:

It was their third day together and honestly, Lena always forgets about them, so when in the midst of passion, Kara let out a giggle behind her, Lena furrowed her brows.

“Nice to meet you, Purity.” Lena stilled, and had to fight against the fog in her brain to figure out what the hell did that mean. When she did, she groaned and buried her face on the pillow right in front of her. 

“Could you please continue with what you were doing and forget about that?”

“As you wish…”

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

I think my Supercorptober fic. Mostly because I didn't INTEND on writing anything for supercorptober, but I was in the middle of the MOTHER of writers block, and i tried to use it as a thing to make me write. I started it I think on third day of the month, so I was already late and couldn't see where i was even going, but I managed (i think) to find a coherent story at the end of it.

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I mean, not intentionally, but I think that leaving a chapter in a BIG cliffhanger for six months kinda counts? 😬

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

I consider myself a fluff writer, I don't really do angst, or crack very well. I do often call Kara "KD", which is a nod to Stay The Night, my beloved. I always keep Lena being younger than Kara, and Andrea is often Lena's ex. I headcanon that Lena as a genius skipped grades and graduated early, and that Mount Helena's is in Ireland, so that bleeds into my writing. Also, unless I have too acknowledge Newfoundland, she's also Irish. Alex and Sam had a friends with benefits relationship, before they met their respective SOs.

🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?

I'm not sure? It's possible. I don't think my plot twists are a secret, I think I telegraph them a lot.

💖 What made you start writing?

Supercorp. As simple as that. I remember when I was a teenager i did write a bit of my then fandom (that shall not be named now because fvck that author) But supercorp grabbed me by the throat and made me want to write on a language that i've always felt insecure about. The first idea I had I never got past a few lines, but then I saw that there "wasn't" a DEBS AU, and that was inconceivable to me. I decided to do it myself. I found out when I was writing the penultimate chapter, that there was indeed a DEBS AU, but it wasn't finished.

🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?

Not by choice? Like there was a Halloween prompt in Supercorptober, so I wrote that. But there is a Christmas WIP somewhere... on my folder, because you don't choose your inspiration, the inspiration choses you, or whatever

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

Quantitatively, Kudos. But I find it so heartwarming when people contacts me via social media and tells me they liked X fic of mine. And if they give me bullet points... bless their hearts 💜

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

uhm, I think I got better as time has gone by. I think I'm good with the creating a coherent story? Other than that... I have no idea.

🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

"No editor I die like an idiot" Which is not even true anymore. But it's very me.

Again, thanks for all these, this was fun!
