writer ask: 4, 11, 17 <3

Thanks for the ask!! <3

This one has gotten away from me a bit… sooo… again under a readmore xD

The questions were:

4. What's a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

11. Do you believe in the old advice to "kill your darlings"? Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won't make it in the text.

4. What's a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

I had to actually think about it since I wanted a positive word this time, but the answer is actually quite easy:

Love

It's just such a soft word and leads to so many positive and negative consequences. And reations.

May it be a confession you're dying to read or a character that just realizes that's what they feel.

I also prefer the english word to the german one ("Liebe") because while they have the same meaning the english word love is, again, a lot softer in its pronunciation and also got only one syllable so it creates the posibillity to use it as an... end point of sorts.

While "Liebe" has two syllables Lie-be and that kinda looses the effect.

(Think "And in the end it's love." to "And in the end it's Lie-be." (it's pronounced Lee-be btw. think of "Babe" but with a bee 😂)

So yeah, as you can see, lots of thoughts on that one 😂

11. Do you believe in the old advice to "kill your darlings"? Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

I think the short answer to this point and all its questions is: yes and no 😂

I actually have forgotten more writing advice than many have possibly read. Which especially relates to during working on a thing itself.

That might sound a bit weird and apropos of nothing, but let me explain:

I use most writing advice unintentionally even if I WANT to use it intentionally.

My neurodiverse ass is just so bad at keeping things in mind that I would have to have a writing advice I want to use visible next to me while writing to be able to use it and not just forget about it while writing. And even then I might just forget about and ignore it while focusing on my story.

This, of course, also includes Kill your Darlings.

That said, my brain doesn't only forget writing advice of course 😂

If I actually write a "perfect sentence" or a paragraph or scene that "was just right" I try to keep it. When that doesn't work, I dance around it until I'm sure it just doesn't fit and then I delete it (though I do have backups, so it's not "gone gone" and I could easily put it back in if I decided otherwise). And then I more often than not forget about it 😂

So... I'm not sure if I believe in Kill Your Darlings, I just do stuff 😂 That said, I can be ruthless about cutting when I see no other way. My darlings mostly get forgotten and land in Backup-Nirvana (which you can probably see as a graveyard) and I don't tend to grieve bc I mostly think "Yeah you can get that one back in a moment" and then forget about it 😂

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won't make it in the text.

At this moment I'm actually not sure if this will make it into the text or not (bc I want to hit the people managing our school system with it, but at the same time it's definitely not at all the center of the story), so... yeah. A bit will definitely be hinted at though.

Anyway.

School systems.

In a magical society that's included in the non-magical one.

In my WIP I have actually a span of four generations. Three of them were raised with the old school system in place (which means no magical pre- or primary school, and about 6-7 years of big classes per subject and a teacher at the front talking mostly at and not with the students).

Sascha, one of my main protagonists, was the "Chosen one", defeated "his" Dark Lord )who had the people in fear for decades) while still at school and i the end USED his influence as Hero of the Magical World (TM) to change the fucking system.

So his apprentice Kaz (who's the other main protagonist and together with Sascha the POV character of the story) is now in the lucky position to be in the new system.

Which amounts to the following:

1. There actually is a magical primary school (that takes in children from age 6-10) and, for those children who show their magic very early on, even a program that's kind of pre-school-ish where especially non-magical parents can get help.

Also the "regular" school (age 11 and up) doesn't have a cut at age 17/18. You finish school once you've finished your lessons even if you need more time than others. Though you CAN stop at age 18 since you are legaly an adult by then.

2. Classes have fewer children in them. Teachers have to know and learn about didactics and how to work with children of certain ages. There are school psychologists. It is a boarding school, but the costs are paid by the government and students can choose to not stay if they're living in the city (because the school's actually somehere in the middle of Berlin) and would rather stay with their family.

3. At about age 14/15 each student gets a mentor. What said mentor does is to help their apprentice to find their way i.e. they're there to answer questions. Not only stuff like which electives to choose in later school years (though that, too) but also general stuff about the world (magical and non-magical) they might not be able to ask their own parents. Either because their parents aren't knowledgeable in a subject or because it's something they don't want to talk about to them (or in some cases because they don't have parents).

The students still have normal lessons though they have kind of a dual curriculum situation where they have lessons one week and are working with their mentor the other week.

And more often than not their mentor will also be the one who introduces them to a master of the subject the student chooses to work in later.

EVOL — DELETED/BEHIND THE SCENES

→club pres!renjun x publicity officer!reader

genre: social media au, humor, fluff, slow burn, romance, slice of life, future angst, coming of age, college au

m.list | previous

1. this was when mark and yn would constantly flirt on the tl and were getting annoyed at lhc targeting them

2. after constantly hanging out with renjun aki was going through it

3. Idk where I was going to put this I don’t remember but it just adds to how they struggled when in hs but had each other ; it has the “and that’s messed up because you know english wasn’t my first language. what? you want to send me back for ELE?” sound

4. fawking tumblr glitched and deleted the paragraph but since 127 was having their seoul concert in december and since yn is a big 127 stan I wanted to incorporate into the story line as a small change but when I did the map it would ruin the tl cause it was too late </3

5. boss era appreciation plus I was going to do it once they found out renjun knew jaehyun all along and yn was going to reply with ‘I’m so miserable’ while crying about it to mark on messages

6. haknyeon teasing beomgyu, I thought it was cute lol

7. just some cute interactions I was bored in class and did these lol. supposed to say ‘cock’ but i was too lazy to correct it btw

8. messy evil renjun lol I found it funny

9. this one yn was hanging out with her friends so renjun was being dramatic about not being with her and in true renjun fashion he runs to jaedo to get her attention, my clingy lil renjun lol. it cut off in the second pic but it was sumn along “go play with your friends” and him telling sicheng they had class so they made a deal in which renjun goes to hang with his brother and his colleagues/friends if he paid for dinner

10. I thought this one back in december as an ode to htgtb (despite my great hatred towards it) but I wanted the lil parallel or at least spiderman to give them that one similarity since the movies came out whenever I started writing each au. I was going to add it to the epilogue but as you all know, it would not make sense at all

11. chenle facts: chenle is head of the film club and does work study in school’s radio station. his major is specifically centered in tv media and radio. the radio station was only used to report news to students but he took charge and ended up creating his own segment getting high rankings within some specific majors (anything in the liberal arts + design/fine arts majors) the name of his segment (volcano’s nerve) stems from the album title ‘el nervio del volcan’ by caifanes a mexican rock band from the 80/90s. it’s not spoken throughout the story but chenle is big in exploring bands from any country. In addition to this, he was supposed to be more angry and only had a soft spot for jisung but him being an ass to his friends in a teasing way sounded better

12. chenji’s makeout creek: makeout creek is a duo band formed by chenle and jisung in which chenle is the vocalist and jisung as the bassist. the name comes from a mitski album called ‘bury me at makeout creek’ jisung is a big mitski stan so thank him. the band was started to help the both grow as musicians especially since jisung is a music theory major + performing at guerilla stakes has helped them get connections

13. speaking of guerilla stakes, that’s the concert hall/bar where jaehyun meets his future band (which he only performs with during his free time) contras, the place, the atmosphere, and the people he meets help him ease from the stress of being an idol and how harder it gets the more 127 becomes more popular. this is all for a future jaehyun fic that has been in the works since last year so don’t worry much about it bc I’m not nearly done and evol took 2 years to finalize so let’s not get hung up on it. also due to the nature of these two bands performing in the same place, you’ll expect to see evol characters once jaehyun’s fic is up (which again let’s not focus on due to how long I take for a single fic)

14. yn facts: this is only lightly touched upon a few times but yn is one of those personal/troll accs. she has in the past said anything to rial fandoms up and even her own fandom for the sake of giggles to get back at them for shit talking 127 (☠️) hence why her and jeno are similar since he tends to get ratiod for pissing off fandoms that get him restricted often. was it not bc she also likes all of jaemin’s faves she would’ve already had a bigger twt feud with him

15. aki… I was not going to make him pine after her at all I was just going to make him a friend similar to mark BUT by the time I was rewriting this, a guy in one of my classes kept trying to talk, hang, and flirt overall and it was making me uncomfortable the way he makes yn so I projected that onto him except for the fact that the guy in my classes still irks me and makes me uncomfortable so she’s being nicer in not completely hating him at the beginning ☠️ I didn’t add this but his progress is getting over her failed and every time he sees them or someone talking about them, he has a full fit crying and throwing up

16. my meow meow yangyang ☹️ since yn is a chronically internet person deep into the kpawp fandom I wanted her to have an internet friend and I found yangyang to be the perfect person for that. he’s an ode to all my closest moots. she met him through their mutuals in a gc and ended up becoming the closest despite being quite different from each other but his cats helped. huge tmi but she helped him figure out safe ways to become un-constipated that helped the friendship even more

17. mark’s departure: on the first draft of why mark wasn’t part of the group and was a sensitive topic was bc dnyl had a rule where they couldn’t date and he broke that rule by dating a girl he hid from the club and when the guys found out it was going to be a corny lil argument scene that made no sense at all and would be too stupid plus he was going to lash out on them and they would be the hurt ones which would leave jaemin with huge trust issues and fear of change but the rules I had set for the club at the beginning sounded dumb and I did NOT like that ☠️ like they wouldn’t let girls in and it was a close knit club so they really wouldn’t have let anyone join in general. mark was the founder again, haechan had just gotten rejected and jisung had experienced his first heartbreak.

18. speaking of dnyl! this has also been brushed upon throughout the story but hadn’t been cleared. lhc was created by xime as just like ceena she had been pining after jeno with the exception that she actually liked jeno but he kept rejecting her and she couldn’t take no as an answer and he lost it when she tried to join the club to just keep being stuck with and he told her off so that’s when she created lhc as a way to fight against him and the guys which is so ☠️

19. chenle’s movie plot: the plot is basically renjun and reader leaving clues for each other like they’ve seen each other around the laundromat they flirt and flirt through puzzles and letters until the final one where they see it’s each other and meet at the photobooth where they kiss. chenle hates it, he absolutely hates the plot but he needed a plot and anything that would put him near producers to secure at least an internship. Ik the plot isn’t clear but that’s what was on my notes lol

20. beomgyu’s hatred towards yangyang actually stems bc of yn 😭 my pookie was actually really jealous of yangyang at the beginning bc despite him being her internet friend he knew her longer than beomgyu and mark was already pushing it so for yangyang to come along again— it was ruining him. chenle doesn’t count bc he knows jisung is chenle’s best friend. his most recent hatred for yangyang seems to be kind of a tom and jerry type of relationship, yangyang is jerry btw

21. haknyeon was supposed to be more ditzy and innocent, an angel if you’d like to call him but I though him and keni being a mischievous duo was more entertaining than having him be the voice of reason bc quite honestly that would’ve just separated him from group knowing well they’re all up for some chaos

22. controversial but on the second rewrite/plot (never posted) yeonjun actually played a big role 😬… he was going to come to town and be included to group activities bc beomgyu’s mom forced him to (yes even in their 20s) yeonjun was going to develop a crush on yn and he’d wouldn’t act upon it bc beomgyu’s was very vocal about not wanting his family and friends to be romantically involved because he didn’t want to choose between family and friends especially cause yeonjun always got involved with any of beomgy’s past friends and he was tired of it. mainly because he would always choose his brother over any of his friends despite how much he loved them and when it came to yn it was going to be more difficult to let her go.

after the december happenings, yn and renjun were going to have an actual argument to the point he made her not feel loved after all they went through together and they felt perplexed because she truly liked him so much but he felt betrayed because she hid something big like his close friend and his future lover hiding a friendship between them and the guy who ruined his trust in love so he would run away from yn and they wouldn’t interact for the winter break and she would vent to yeonjun because he just caught her in a vulnerable moment and she confessed that she was confused with renjun all along because they hung out a lot and it felt like dates but he never said they were and yeonjun took the opportunity to make a move and he offered to take her to a mock date because he was aware she really liked renjun anyways besides that it was going to end with yeonjun actually taking her first kiss and the two promising to hide it from beomgyu because they didn’t want him to have a breakdown but renjun caught them when he was going to apologize.

so going off from that— I hated it!! no reason to involve yeonjun when aki was already there and it was really fucked up for her to kiss yeonjun when she really liked renjun plus I wanted to emphasize that renjun HAD to be her first in everything. her first boyfriend her first time and her first kiss, this is important to the final product

23. the original plot: originally yn would try to join both groups but she was supposed to be really close friends with lhc :( she was supposed to like all of them even xime aki and vero they were actually much tolerable in the original plot but besides that yn was still going to help markhyuck sneak around since evol didn’t like mark after he shit talked them but hyuck couldn’t let him go as they had an extensive history of being friends so she helped them in exchange for kpop albums (☠️) plus she found the little rush funny. she met mark through writers club and he would introduce her to hyuck that’s how they’d become friends form then on she was supposed to be in a film class with renjun and they were the ones supposed to make a film project for the class but she was more blunt about her feelings and instantly would confess to markhyuck that she found his attractive. bc of how much hyuck and her would hang out on this plot Renjun was going to take advantage of her friendship and try to get info out of her regarding why she hung out with hyuck all the time cause jaemin and him were convinced hyuck started secretly dating yn and from then on they would follow the other two eventually lhc would have the same idea bc of the same reasons and would follow her around but bc Renjun had put much effort into getting info out of her he ended up learning about her and falling for her and bc a rule in lhc is to not date either they would have a secret relationship it’d be fine at first but eventually they would find yn mark and hyuck together and from then it would cause an argument within dnyl and renjun to feel perplexed cause he really liked her and finding out she hid that from him made it worse because he would be a hypocrite considering he was dating her in secret so he was no better than mark (again the reason he left in the original plot is stupid). that’s where I left it off I didn’t really find a solution not an ending to this plot it just stopped at the climax. I do remember renjun and yn getting caught on a date and jaemin had a breakdown bc it reminded him of the happenings with mark and he was scared renjun was going to destroy his feelings like mark did and end up abandoning them as well.

that’s it for these behind the scenes and delete d scenes! the file I had all the notes got deleted somehow so these are all from extra files I had or could recover and from what I remember from the top of my head :/ thank you sm for sticking around this long!

꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷꒦ ꒷꒦‧˚.‧꒷꒦꒷‧˚꒦꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷꒦ ꒷꒦‧˚.‧꒷꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷

Ok i put way to much into this and idk why I honestly did not try to 😭

nsfw under the cut; minors pls dni

word count 1.1k

a/n: there’s a weird glitch/bug that’s happing with my posts where it deletes sections/paragraphs or it has certain sections/paragraphs more than once and idk how to fix it because it’ll just mess it all up so I’ll try my best until something is done about it. (6/23/21)

꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷꒦ ꒷꒦‧˚.‧꒷꒦꒷‧˚꒦꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷꒦ ꒷꒦‧˚.‧꒷꒷꒦꒷‧˚.‧꒦꒷

A: Aftercare~ cuddles, cuddles, and more cuddles. And honestly he would have an assload of energy left but it depends on how tired you are if y’all go another round or two or not. He also runs the fanciest looking baths like omfg. Flower petals, bath bombs, and candles surrounding the tub and if you have sensitive skin you better know damn well he has everything you need to have you feeling soft asf 😌

C: Cum~ Most of the time it’s inside a condom, both of you feel that it’s safer but if you wanted him to cuz in or on you then he wouldn’t mind as long as it’s fine with you too

D: Dirty Secret~ Ok he’s had this on his mind for months and wants to bring it up but he would definitely let Noya join a few times but he would like it better if you brought it up knowing damn well he was thinking the same

E: Experience~ Both of y’all’s first times was with each other but he kinda already knew what to do cuz you can tell me he hasn’t watched porn or even looked at porn magazines; luckily he catches onto stuff very quickly but he’s still got some stuff to learn

F: Favorite Position~ Ok he is a complete service top but he LOVES to see you on top of him; so Cowgirl, Reverse Cowgirl, or riding his face are his absolute favorite positions and he also has quick access to your thighs so it’s a win win for him

G: Goofy~ Come on now this is Tanaka of course he’ll be goofy asf during secksy time, at times he’s a little more serious but for the most part he like know that your enjoying it as much as he is

H: Hair~ Ok so we all know the carpet does not match the drapes; as far as maintenance, he’ll forget to do it sometimes so it gets a little wild but either he’ll take care of it himself or he’ll let you do it and he really doesn’t mind if you do

I: Intimacy~ Omg he treats you like royalty; nothing is worth more then making his s/o feel like they are loved and taken care of while throwing a little spice into it at the same time; he treats you with so much respect and honestly the both of you can’t ask for better

J: Jack Off~ He doesn’t do it as much often cuz he has you but before.... 😀 no comment; he also gets off the the nudes you send him

K: Kinks~ Ok he’s not vanilla but he’s not very kinky so I feel like he would like some bondage and sensory deprivation (my fancy way of saying blindfolds), he likes semi public sex as well, spanking, and he liked ducking you in front of a mirror

L: Location~ Your shared bedroom, the kitchen counter, the shower, and hidden but public spaces

M: Motivation~ It doesn’t take much to get him all hot and bothered, it’s as simple as touching his thigh, whispering in his ear, or kissing his neck, do all three and have fun not walking bae <3

N: No~ He will NEVERRRRR do ANYTHING with out your consent, he’ll even go as far as asking a second or third time; this baby will never purposely hurt you, he may like spanking you but that’s really it

O: Oral~ You- he loves when you suck him off he thinks you so sexy with your lips wrapped around him and tears coming from your eyes 😊; Him- omfg he will spend hour going down on you, he makes you cum so many times it hurts just a little bit but he just can help but slurp you every ounce of cum you give to him

P: Pace~ He’s either slow and deep or hard and fast... there’s literally no in between

Q: Quickie~ He fucking loves them, will beg for them until you say yes so yall would end up in an ally or an family bathroom taking care of business 😏

R: Risk~ He likes the risk of getting caught in public so he’ll make sure to fuck you extra hard and try to get you to moan really loud so other people can hear you

S: Stamina~ Fucking endless almost, y’all can go for hours and he’s asking and begging if you can go another round when you’re over here on the verge of passing out

T: Toys~ There’s a box under your bed filled with vibrators, blindfolds, maybe a couple dildos, and some rope

U: Unfair~ He’s not as ruthless with his teasing but that doesn’t mean he won’t do it, I feel like he’s the type that if y’all are walking together in public he would put his hand on your ass and just keep it there... like he doesn’t slap it, doesn’t rub it, or squeeze it, he just keeps it there and it annoys you cuz he won’t move it 😭

V: Volume~ Omfg he is a very vocal partner; loud moans, sexy grunts, and moaning your name and the best thing is, he gets a little whiney and shakes a bit when he’s about to cum

W: Wildcard~ Ok so y’all have gotten so comfortable with each other to the point where getting a nude out of nowhere are quite common; he doesn’t beg you for them but does ask and is very appreciative of them and he definitely got off to your nudes more times then he’ll actually admit

X: X-Ray~ Boy is big 😀 it’s not much of a grower it more so gets thicker; I’d say a good 8 inches soft and 9 hard and like I said it gets thicc bae 🤌🏾, it’s also got this on vein that goes down the length of the bottom of it and it’s pretty sensitive and you’ve used that against him a few times

Y: Yearning~ All the damn time; his sex drive is high at least a 8/10

Z: ZzZz~ Lkike I said earlier, he would still have some energy left and if y’all don’t end up going another round he’ll just handle the aftercare and cuddle you until you go to sleep then he may get up and go on a jog to relieve the rest of that energy and when he gets back he’ll wash up again so he won’t smell like outside (pocs understand perfectly) and he’ll climb back into bed with you and eventually fall asleep

Sparks of Life Opera Edition

I am still not over Singing a New Tune so I am going to recap for you the experience of writing that fic because there were many interesting moments over the course of those three days. Lemme start from the beginning.

- So I’m writing a fic that mostly focuses on sexual stuff but it is also mainly happening in an opera so my first order of business is to figure out what that opera is. Both the building itself and the show they’ll be watching. Because that is of utmost importance.

- I have already mentioned that SoL is located in New York so I looked up New York operas. I do not vibe with research most of the time but I vibe even less with having to come up with names for any kind of thing so research was definitely the choice here.

- I somehow get results about operas that are in the other end of the USA. That was not great. I get to the Metropolitan Opera House at last (which I might have known existed if I cared about opera in any way, shape or form) which is great! I am so close to starting the fic! Just need to figure out what opera they’re watching. Because I need that for reasons.

- I end up downloading a PDF with the seatings inside the Met Opera so that I can figure out where the hell they will be seating. But I leave that for later. I look through the actual plays that they’re having while absolutely failing with the navigation of their site. I find a show that catches my eye. It’s called The Magic Flute. I have zero idea what it’s about so I read the Wikipedia summary just to be aware. It mentions that a character has a moment when he’s singing about his search for a wife and I think “Perfect! Foreshadowing!” (since this is set pretty early on in Griffin and Valtor’s relationship).

- I decide to look up the opera and see if I can find a part of it on youtube to figure out how it will sound. I am pretty sold on it already because of the summary I read and also because it implies there is magic as a subject in it which would call back to canon. Still, I look it up. I find a full version of it on the internet with English subtitles... It is 2 hours and 35 minutes:

youtube

- “Wow, okay... that’s a bit much. But hey, it has got subtitles in English. Maybe I’d actually watch that... once I’m done with the fic. I’m just gonna listen to a little bit while I finish my research, though, so I can have an idea of what it sounds like.”

- Now it’s time to open the engagement fic - Enough to Be Yours - because I don’t remember what year they got engaged in and I need that to reverse engineer the year in which this fic is taking place so that I can make sure that The Magic Flute was being performed back then. I don’t have an year stated in the engagement fic, though. I have a date - 9th October which is Friday and that means the year is 2015. Great! So I need to figure out if they were performing The Magic Flute back in 2010. Great.

- That takes a shit ton of time and nerves as it turns out. I spent over 4 hours just researching the logistics for this fic and a lot of that was unnecessary but I’m getting ahead of myself.

- I cannot find out whether they were performing the Magic Flute in 2010. I get results of it being broadcast in English (for the first time, I believe) in 2012 but that is way too late for this fic to be happening. Also, they are speaking of a broadcast which just doesn’t work for me. So I am having a hard time over here.

- I find a list of the new titles in 2011 but nothing mentions The Magic Flute as far as I can see.

- I am now considering switching to another opera. I see an opera that is based on events from The Song of the Nibelungs (I cannot be assed to go back and check what the actual title was). That catches my eye because I have read a book that was titled The Ring of the Nibelungs, I believe, and I kinda remember stuff from it... which is what makes me hesitate because that was a big tragedy.

- Meanwhile, I have stumbled upon a trailer for The Magic Flute:

youtube

MY GOD IS THAT BEAUTIFUL! THOSE PROPS ARE FUCKING GORGEOUS! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU GET TO GO AND SEE THAT LIVE? THAT IS NUTS! (Also, when I mentioned paper birds (I think they are) in the fic, I meant the ones shown in 0:13, not the big one in the beginning but HOLY SHIT, DID YOU SEE THAT THING????? HOW IS THAT REAL?!?!?!?! IT IS SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN’T. I AM DYING. THIS IS JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL.)

- I somehow happen upon an old archive of the opera (idk how I did that but I bookmarked it in case I’ll need it again) that has information about plays going back as far as the year 1900. This is nuts! I am in too deep but I can’t pull myself away. I’ve gotten this far, I will see it through.

- I search for keyword “flute” and I get results. Some of them are pretty old but I finally find what I need. Performances of the Magic Flute in 2010! Bingo!

- ...Oh, wait, they’re all around Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Hmm... when will it be okay for them to go? I mean, Valtor has been established to have zero free time around that time of the year and I can’t see them going on the 24th or the 31st... Oh, those are matinees. Definitely no! I need them to go in the evening. And some of these are broadcasts which doesn’t work for me either.

- I looked up earlier years as well. I considered another opera again. I decided to switch up the timeline a little. It makes sense if it’s in 2009. I think they had spring performances of The Magic Flute then. Or was it 2008? Anyway, I finally settle on an early April date in 2009 (I think). Now that that’s settled, let’s go back to the seats.

- First I need to figure out what floor (let’s say) of the opera they’re on. I was thinking of the last one first (family circle) but the boxes (I figure those seats will be safest for their activities) look like this:

which isn’t vibing with me because they would be in the front row and it seems more visible. So I relocate to the previous floor (balcony) that looks like this:

That works a little better although there’s the danger of having more people in their box. But they’re sitting in box 14, seats 5 (Griffin) and 6 (Valtor) (where the arrow is pointing) and there’s only one man in seat 4 in front of them. So that is the best I can do.

- Wow, all that’s finally figured out. I decide to do all the rest of the research up front in order to be able to just write after that and not stop for another 4 hours. More on those other things later BUT I get to the part where I need to pick a vibrator and... well, I done fucked up.

- First thing that comes up for a remote controlled vibrator is Lush, of course. And I am immediately sold because it has a sound activated setting which Valtor will definitely love to utilize while in the opera.

BUT

Lush 2 (which is the first one to have the sound activated setting, I believe) came out in 2018. Even if we accept that Lush also has it, that came out in 2015. My fic is set in 2009. Searching for 2009 vibrators literally went no where so in the end I decided that the SoL verse is actually set in a parallel universe where time is a little warped so the Lush 2 is out in 2009. Plus, that way there isn’t going to be a pandemic in future installments. Overall, that works. Except that I needn’t have been so thorough with my opera research beforehand. Oh, well. It’s finally time to start writing.

- How do you write? How do you start a fic? One word in front of the other? Oh, okay, never mind. Lipstick is a girl’s best friend. Let’s start from there. And a kiss that leads to the discussion of lipstick... Damn, I forgot to spend one more hour on researching what kind of lipstick Griffin would have worn. Shame! You don’t get that detail now. I believe I didn’t even mention a shade.

- Oh, wait. Need for his breath to taste like something. Hmm, let’s see. Tonic water? Yeah, that sounds about right. Never mind that he should have probably drunk it right before getting out of the car to kiss her if it was still lingering on his breath. I mean, that’s not impossible. Just improbable.

- He’s also wearing cologne, right? Gotta research that too. How else would I get this:

and zero idea what it actually smells like despite the description. Also, did not check if that was a thing in 2009 but the story now exists in a vacuum so who cares.

- Apparently, Griffin doesn’t own any golden bracelets even though she does have a golden necklace? Or she could have a golden bracelet, just not one she likes for the current situation? Anyway, I wanted to mention Ediltrude as well because the twins always go together and that was the best I came up with. (That said, I didn’t need to put the mentions of them one sentence apart.)

- My god, I used a semicolon! That feels illegal. I sure hope I used that bitch correctly.

- Okay, I absolutely love all the banter and just flow in the car. Idk how I did that since it’s such a constricted space but I am really proud of it. However, the logistics were sometimes hard to logic my way through. I mean, Valtor doesn’t get to look at her a lot and I had to employ a red traffic light to give him the chance to do so.

- I hit a wall about three paragraphs later. Things started going in a weird direction. I was considering even deleting the last two lines but then I managed to get back on track thanks to having figured out how they met and I decided to write a little bit about that without spoiling it (that will be a fic of its own some day). Suffice it to say it was a meet-very-ugly. But it bailed me out. Also, they got over it so it’s all good.

- And now... that paragraph. You know which one I’m talking about. It stands out with the locations I’ve given. That paragraph required 30 minutes of looking at Google Earth to figure it out and I still nearly got it wrong. At that point it occurred to me that they’ll need a place to park. I mean, idk how parking is in NYC but it’s probably not the way it is in Bulgaria especially on small neighborhood streets where it’s just... park wherever (even in front of a garage if you’re brazen enough and don’t fear having your tires slashed). So first, I was going to have them coming down Tenth Avenue and passing by the backside of the Opera which is not ideal for me because I needed Griffin to figure out they’re going to the opera so that they can have the following dialogue. But there is the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts right next door so I figure Griffin will recognize the area if it’s next to a library. And I have them almost at the garage but... that’s not looking right. This garage is on 65th Street and mine is on 62nd... I have been looking at the wrong garage for the past hour. Now that I have caught that mistake, things get easier. They just drive right past the facade of the opera, take a right turn and then enter the garage. Easy peasy. For whoever’s actually paying attention to the map.

- They’re in the garage now and I have to write another kiss. Shoot! I do not vibe with writing kisses. Writing sex scenes is much easier. But I’ll try my best because this is a little bit necessary if we’re dealing with an insertion of a vibrator in a public bathroom one minute from now. (Again, logistics!) I actually went back to add in a little discomfort during the kiss (but not too much because they’re consumed with each other anyway and probably missed something) just to make it more realistic. They can’t be comfortable in the car. Also, you have got to love how I never even thought of what make the car is. But I did stop to research the tinting of the car windows.

- Now this is extremely funny but I would have had zero idea that there are different laws about how tinted your car windows can be in the USA if I hadn’t read a very extensive critique of Fifty Shades (whichever part it was that had that info). So I look up the VLT for New York and it says 70%. Great! Then it won’t be that visible through the windows what they’re doing inside. Oh, wait! VLT means Visible Light Transmission aka 70% of the light should be passing through the window. Aka it is only tinted on 30%. This much:

That’s practically nothing. You can see everything through it. Welp, then someone’s gonna see, I guess.

- Can’t believe I didn’t stop to look up clutches either. (Lmao, I was calling it a purse instead of a clutch at first even though I definitely meant a clutch. And then I remembered that clutch existed as a word. Who would’ve thought?) It’s baffling trying to figure out why my brain was prioritizing some details over others and I just genuinely have no idea what was going on.

- Griffin is blushing a lot in this. Can you tell I have no idea how else to convey Valtor giving her feelings through body language?

- I first envisioned the box being opened by the hair pin by turning it like a key. Only later did I realize that that wouldn’t be possible because the pin has two parts (whatever they’re called) and that would make turning it impossible unless all of the base fits into one hole in the lid of the box. So I had to adapt my vision to using the extensions at the ends of the hair pin like a hook that pulls the lid up once it’s clicked free. I have zero idea how that would be done but I’m sure it can be done. So yeah, anyway, the pin looks like this but with attachments at the ends to open the box:

- I might have gone a little overboard with Griffin’s reaction to having the vibrator inside her. I might have made her a bit too embarrassed but I still think that she simply wouldn’t appreciate someone knowing about what she considers a private experience (despite the very public setting).

- And I am being overly specific again with the seats but I worked for that information so you’re getting it against your will!

- Speaking of, that man in their box was pretty ignored throughout the fic. But then again Griffin wasn’t overflowing with lucidity. She is sure to have missed... A Lot, actually.

- My apologies (once again) to @her-majesty-wears-jeans for not letting Griffin punch Valtor in the face for the terrible pun he was about to make but I thought that that would ruin the mood so I had to skip it.

- I might have imagined things a little differently but then consent factored in and I had to change things up so that Griffin is clearly on board with everything. I hope it came through that way at least. She is on board even if she is very, very frustrated. She would never throw the bet just because it’s difficult for her. Though, I’m taking note for future fics of maybe being a little bit more explicit about the enjoyment of all parties involved. I just couldn’t really think of a way to convey it better back then and I am coming up with several ideas now and I will try to keep them in mind for future fics.

- I keep going back and forth on just how far into their relationship this is. Sometimes it feels like it’s not enough time for them to get this familiar with each other and sometimes it feels like too much for them to still be skirting their feelings for each other like that. Will update when I make up my mind about how long exactly it has been.

- In retrospect, probably should have picked up an opera that people would be less likely to bring their children to (as brought to my attention by @her-majesty-wears-jeans). I apologize for this. Did not consider it at all.

- A wild tangent about Griffin’s sexual experiences before Valtor popped up (for the second time now). This is giving me thoughts and I am not even sure if I’ll manage to get them all out in the bachelorette party fic. Oh, no, I am getting ideas again.

- God, I had to mention those paper birds because I adore them. Also, needed to do a time skip somehow (sure hope they don’t show up at the very end or the very beginning).

- So there are some things about the whole thing with the suit jacket that if you squint, you’ll miss the very far-fetched and convoluted ways in which I could make them make sense but again, it isn’t impossible to make them operate according to logic so good enough.

- And now for the dress:

I thought it would be reasonable for Griffin to own something like that. It doesn’t look overly expensive or dramatic.

- I swear that most of the 2% angst was an accident. Griffin was supposed to say the “You paid how much for tickets exactly just so you could fool around?” line but the following few paragraphs sprang on me out of nowhere. That was where I left it off the first day I was working on it and I wasn’t sure how to continue it. Then the angst happened.

- I do not believe the retaliation part was planned but would it really be a Griffin x Valtor story if something like that hadn’t happened? XD

- “reverberated”, “multitudinous” and “unobtainable” are probably not words that Griffin’s muddled mind would go to in that precise moment but everything else I came up with for them just did not sound right.

- I completely forgot the word for neckline and was so mad at myself for that but, luckily, I managed to remember it before posting the fic. I believe the original read “he slipped a finger under the fabric of her dress, running it over the top of her breast” which is not incorrect but just not precise enough for my liking.

- Sure hope the shortened version of the opera did not cut out the ending musical sequence. But that seems unlikely.

- The idea was running overly long in my head by having them going back to the penthouse so that I could have the scene where he picked her up so I decided to move things around and have him carry her bridal style on their way from the opera to the car. It’s not like she didn’t earn it.

- Pretty sure I had planned something a little different for the last several lines of dialogue but I couldn’t remember what so we get this. Which isn’t a disadvantage. I mean, Griffin is already thinking of marrying him. XD (That’s probably a bit of a stretch at the current status of their relationship but then again, she was thinking of a wedding, not necessarily of their wedding even though I’m clearly a little romance gargoyle that meant exactly that.)

- Originally, Valtor was supposed to floor the brakes while they were out in the NYC traffic but then I decided that doing it while still in the garage with only one car behind them and both vehicles driving at a very slow speed was a lot safer so I switched to that. It also saved me writing more words which was appreciated. I thought this fic would be a bit shorter.

- I was at a loss for how many orgasms Griffin should want from him but then the commitment line happened and that was all avoided.

Dear dawsongfg,

Mod Edgeworth: I don’t recall ever including Edgeworth blushing when I answered that letter.

(^ THAT is a blushing Edgeworth sprite) Though, I do agree, he’s hot. Oh wow, is it getting hot in here? Mods, help.

(Referenced Letter)

Dear Anonymous,

Mod Edgeworth: You will have to ask Mod Justice about that, since he likely deleted them, if they haven’t been seen already. I’ve already said my piece here, so I will not repeat myself.

Honestly, it’s not that big of a deal and is water under the bridge at this point.

Mod Justice: If you must know, they were insulting me because I’m “Mod Justice” and he hated Apollo Justice. That’s it. And I am still a bit salty about that.

(Referenced Letters)

Dear Dawsongfg,

Mod Edgeworth: I’m sorry about that. Tumblr is messing with other people’s letters too. Some will show without any paragraph skips.

If you have noticed the lack of paragraphs skipping to the next paragraph (Pay attention to this Gumshoe “Letty” Fan), use HTML formatting. use <p> and </p> between each paragraph and <br> and </br> between paragraphs you only wish to skip halfway. We sincerely apologize for this.

Co-Mod: I’m sorry, too.

(That such a picture exists.)

(Referenced Letter)

Dear Dawsongfg,

Mod Edgeworth: I love AAI2. It’s my favorite AA game. Though, why did you reference that link?

As for the second question, neither. I’m a bunny person.

I WANT ALL OF THEM!!

Co-Mod: Same here! (About loving AAI2, I mean.) As I’ve mentioned before, it was the only AA game in the series that made me cry, plus I loved learning more about the DL-6 incident and what led up to it. Not to mention the plot twists were as clever as ever.

As someone who’s taken care of both dogs and cats, I love them both, but if I had to choose, I’d go with cats. They’re lighter, cuddlier, and less rambunctious, plus they even bathe themselves.

Mod Justice: Both are cute, but I’m DEATHLY allergic to cats. Gonna have to go with the doggos on this one.

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: Hey there! Has Adrian been taking good care of you?

asdgkjlllllc

vvuoiyjjjjjjjjjjoipa

Ahem... Please get off my keyboard.

Mod Edgeworth: Away from my bun-bun, you heathen!

(Previous Letter)

Dear dawsongfg,

Co-Mod: Yep! According to Google Translate, the Japanese word for “good night” is “oyasuminasai,” or just “oyasumi,” which is where I got “Imu Sayo” from. I just realized that’s not much of an anagram, though, considering it’s just the same word spelled backward and split into two.

Dear dawsongfg,

Mod Edgeworth: Hello, Oldbag. At least I don’t go chasing after anyone that’s young enough to be my child or grandson. But sure, if you wanna compete for dat ass, I’ll be more than happy to oblige. Normally, I’d be humble enough to say I have no chance, but considering I am 29, young, have color in my hair and lack any wrinkles, last I checked, I say you’ve already lost this contest before it begun. Not to say I had a chance to win the heart of a fictional character, but I can dream.

(8/10 is my rating)

Co-Mod: ..........Are you finished?

(A little too good, in my opinion.)

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: Thanks for sharing the image, first of all. I never would’ve thought an adult Shantae could look so fine before I saw her. Now I’m a believer.

To answer your question...because Tumblr.

If you want, you can resubmit those letters, and we’ll re-answer them ASAP, or let you know if the images still didn’t load.

Mod Edgeworth: Because of what Tumblr is doing with the anonymous letters, it’s best you send a link to the pictures in its full url. We will make sure to show the picture in our letters. We’re sorry about this.

(Previous Post)

Dear sweetlaive3,

Co-Mod: Just to be clear, we meant that we’ve made it through all the consecutive mobile posts. There are still a bunch mixed in with the non-mobile ones, but we’ve made it past the ones that we accidentally skipped for so long.

Oh, and here’s some good news -- Tumblr got their stuff together, and we can now see all letters on our laptops! Way to be, devs!

Mod Edgeworth: Oh? You mean this letter?

I know, we are far behind on letters. We are now in March, wait.... now it’s April. Please keep in mind that we do answer each letter accordingly.

While there are some exceptions to this where we may answer a letter you wrote earlier first before the later one, that is usually because one mod may not know how to answer that letter. There were times I had to leave certain letters out for Co-Mod to answer and vice versa. Mod Justice also has left us letters to answer before as well. While I don’t recall that particular letter being one I or Mod Justice left for Co-Mod, it’s possible Co-Mod may’ve snatched that letter and needed time to answer it. I don’t do that, but Co-Mod sometimes does that.

Either way, we do intend to answer any letter that stays within the rules, even if they take time to answer. The only letters we delete are those that don’t follow the rules.

Dear dawsongfg,

Co-Mod: She only did that with Mod Kristoph, thankfully. The rest of us were just hit on the head by her “minions” (we didn’t see who they were, but I guess that’s irrelevant). And it so happens that I do have black hair. Dark brown, at least. You did see the GIF of me after the 2018 April Fools’ Day gag, right?

Dear Anonymous,

Mod Edgeworth: Of course and thank you for your letter. It is greatly appreciated.

Co-Mod: You’re welcome, and thank you! I’m just glad the delight is still able to continue after all these years.

As always, credit goes to the awesome moderators here, to Capcom for creating Ace Attorney, and of course...

Mod Edgeworth: No, but I’d bet cha it’d be better if Manfred and Apollo had a screaming contest.

Co-Mod:

Dear Anonymous,

Co-Mod: Funny you should say that -- it actually just got revived.

Is anyone else brimming with excitement about it?

“I know I am!”

Hey, hey, hey! Back behind the fourth wall, please.

How to stop Procrastinating (and how to prevent it)

Alt title; how to stop procrastinating when the time pressure doesn’t kick your ass in motion

Alright so I asked what people wanted to see tips for, and procrastination was a request! To be honest, I’ve never been a huge procrastinator (my anxiety would make me combust), but there’s definitely been one or two times where I have.

So first, I’ll start with preventative tips.

First, make yourself a schedule, written or not. I never write my schedules down because I’m honestly too dang lazy. But I know in my head that if I have a paper due on Tuesday, I want it to be done by Sunday so that I have Monday to edit. Which means I have to start it by the Sunday before at the very latest. So essentially I always give myself a week and two days minimum to do all papers. I do the same with exams. If the exam is on Thursday August 1st, for example, I know I have to start studying by at least the week before. Mental schedules work best for me, but if you find writing it down is better write it somewhere you’ll be forced to see it, like an agenda or in your phone

Second, break things up into small parts. As someone who likes to sit down and get things done in one sitting I used to H A T E being told this. I get it. But find a way to break it down best for you. If you work better in small segments then make your goals small. Ie. if you have a 2000 word paper, do 500 words every day. That should take you only 30 min to an hour tops and then your free, and in the end it only took 4 days (maybe 5-7 if you include planning and editing) If you do better in big segments like me, break it up big. I usually go for a rough outline in one day (just the absolute basics with quotes). Then I do the final outline in a second day. Then the third day I write the essay paragraph by paragraph (I take 20 min break after each paragraph or two). The whole point is to make the essay, project, studying, or whatever seem less daunting so you’re not too nervous to start it.

Third, even when you’re not studying or working on the assignment, think about it! When you’re on the bus, on your break from work, eating lunch, waiting for an ad to be over, anything. I do this mostly for papers, but it really helps with studying too! The more you think about something outside of your studying time the more likely you are to remember it. It especially works if you talk about it with someone. I don’t know why this works, but it does. And when you do it with a paper, by the time you sit down to write it you already know what you want to convey.

Fourth, get into the habit of treating yourself. I always treat myself after handing in a paper or finishing a test or exam. Usually with something sweet and something I normally wouldn’t spend money on. But. I only do it if I feel proud of the work I’ve done. If I know I could’ve spent more time on something... no treat. It gives me something to work towards

Now onto how to STOP PROCRASTINATING

1. Take away all distractions. Use an app that locks your phone, put it in a different room, give it to a friend. Something to get it out of reach. When I really need to crunch down on something I delete all apps off my phone except for google docs and my music. Force yourself to work

2. FaceTime a friend who’s also studying. Keep in mind this won’t work if you two don’t work well together. You have to find someone who you can sit quietly with. My friend and I play a fun little game where we FaceTime and force each other to focus. When the other person is focusing you don’t want to distract them, so you do your work too.

3. If your stressed or overwhelmed, cry it out, eat, take a nap, do whatever you need to calm down. Give yourself 30min to an hour. The get over it and push through. The sooner you push through, the sooner you can relax

4. If you’re confused about something, no matter how close you are to the deadline, email the prof. Call them. Do whatever it takes. Get the answer

5. And honestly, if you’re like 3 hours away from a deadline and not even half done and you haven’t slept... give up. That sounds super pessimistic but email the prof.explain your situation and ask for an extension. Even if you don’t get an extension, give up. Take the L. Most profs dock you between 2 and 5% for being 1 day late (starting one minute after the deadline). And it doesn’t go up until 24 hours after the deadline. Ie, if the paper is due August 1 at midnight, you lose 5% for handing it in between August 1 2:01AM and August 2 12:00AM. It makes more sense to take the extra 24 hours, get some sleep, and make sure you’re writing coherent sentences than it does to hand in a rush sleepy paper. Chances are, if it’s rushed and you were half asleep while writing it, you’ll lose a lot more marks than you would for handing in a good paper late. (Obviously this doesn’t work for exams)

6. Still break things up into parts, as mentioned above, to make the task less daunting

7. For every 30 min you procrastinate, take something away from yourself. Kinda like how your parents would take things away from you when you were a kid if you misbehaved. Take things away and don’t give them back to yourself until your done

And that’s all I can think of! Please add on any other tips!

Keep Yourself Alive

pt. 6 // pt. 7 // pt. 8a

word count: 1,667ish

NCT Frat Social Media AU // College Athlete & Fratboy Lucas x reader

warnings: not really any, kind angsty, more than just mentions of chronic pain

(I don't know how but the second paragraph got deleted when I first uploaded. I have since added it in. So if you see something new that's why)

---

Getting Johnny from outside the building to inside your room was a lot more difficult than you expected. This was partially because your best friend was much drunker than his texts suggested and partially because each step was sending a pain reverberating down your legs and up your abdomen. A pain that you knew the mild over-the-counter pain meds would do little to numb but you had taken them with false hope anyway. Before your best friend had forced you into letting his drunkass in you were curled into your bed with a heating pad pressed into your abdomen, hoping eventually exhaustion would win over excruciating pain.

This was the real reason you bolted out of Jet Lag the minute your friends were off in different directions distracted. The pain had triggered before Mark's open mic night started but you were not about to miss the night you friend had been talking about for weeks. This was so important to him and you had to be there. So you sucked it up and promised yourself to duck out the moment it was clear and Mark had performed. Woo noticing and staying over for a few hours was just a welcomed surprise. And the leftover baked goods he brought were another plus side, not that you had any appetite. At least your blubbering fool of a friend would benefit from the pile of pastries sitting on your desk, if you could make it past the giggling desk attendant.

The first time you walked passed her with bleary eyes, focused on only the task ahead she called out something about the “cute Oppa” at the door. Immediately a gag raced up your throat at that, Johnny? A cute Oppa? Gross. He was like your brother, actually more like your overprotective mother. Sure you joked about Johnny being a daddy, but it was all shits and giggles to make him mad with Mark. He wasn't actually one. The second time she made some sort of pass at him that you blocked out and stifled another gag. You didn’t need to see or hear that child making passes at your best friend.

That wasn’t the only thing she was giggling at though. You and Johnny were quite the sight. He was a stumbling, stuttering fool and you were wearing pajamas that had been picked out in the dark, not even your shoes matched. These were things you had thrown on when Johnny begged you to let him in but your headache was pounding too much to turn the lights on, which was also the reason for the sunglasses.

Speaking of Big Foot, he was using you almost completely as a support and he weighed a lot more than his bony ass looked. How he managed to make it to your building from 7th Sense was beyond you, he could barely make it three steps without giggling and sliding around. Honestly this made you more than a little nervous for Mark, usually he was the giggly one after a few drinks. If Johnny was this drunk, then Mark could very well be dead.

Overall the hardest obstacle for Johnny to maneuver around was your actual room. He tripped over everything. Maybe it was his long spindly legs combined with the alcohol, but he even fell just trying to walk over your rug. You had to catch him before he face planted. Of course he just contiuned blabbering about the night and how well it went the whole time, even while laughing at his clumsiness. “Then Mark fell! Kinda like how he is falling for sunflower boy but like fell… on the actual ground… like how I just almost fell!” To which you just nodded, handing him a pastry and an ice cold water bottle. “And Jae was so funny, he was talking about the basketball team and one of their parties last week where someone drank beer from a ball that had been cut in half. Isn’t that gross?”

“Yeah babe, real gross,” You nodded, trying to push him toward your bed. You might not have been asleep before he messaged but you were still in bed ready to sleep and you wanted to be back there. “Can you get in bed, Jojo? I'll tired.”

Following your direction like a lost lamb, Johnny swiftly removed all his out layers and climbed into your bed continuing to talk about the basketball team and how pretty and funny they were, all the while giving you very pointed looks. Or at least he was prattling on until he went completely silent and tense before screeching, “THERE’S SOMETHING WARM!”

Arms crossed and irritation pulsed through you at the scream, you leaned over to pull the heating pad out from under him and wiggled it around in your outstretched hand, “Johnny you’ve met HP before, HP meet Big Foot.”

“HP? You named your heating pad?” He questioned already snuggling back into your sheets like he owned the bed. This happened every time he was over, sober or drunk it didn’t matter; Johnny took up every blanket and pillow in your entire bed: partially because his size, mostly because he was an asshole. One of the many reasons you were hesitant to let him stay over anymore, even though you always ended up letting him stay.

“Might as well, he’s in my bed so often,” You grinned before grabbing another water bottle out of the mini fridge in the corner of the room and tossing it his direction. While this wasn’t a common occurrence, drunk Johnny, you did know that he would wake up in three hours whining about a dry mouth and you didn't want to deal with it.

“I mean he wasn’t on Halloween.” Luckily you flipped the lights off before you could see his suggestive eyebrow wiggle. Here was the worst part, talkative drunk Johnny taking an interest in your life and trying to lay down his tips on life.

Grabbing an extra blanket for yourself you slid in next to him and laughed that thought off, “Actually HP was, ALSO I thought we agreed to not talk about Halloween, leave the past behind us and all.”

“Behind us? Is that how you like it y/n?” He let out a slight whimper when you turned over enough to give him a solid kick to the shin. This alcohol was giving him far more confidence than normal and you didn’t like it. Throwing his hands up, Johnny tossed out a worthless apology and whined, “I deserved that ok. But you know I wouldn’t call it the past, don’t you tutor the dude?”

That elicited a quiet response from you, a simple, “Yeah.”

“Isn’t it like two or three times a week?” He didn’t stop his incessant babbling long enough for you to answer, adding on, “You’re quite popular, my friends keep asking about you too.” Then a switch suddenly flipped in Johnny’s mind, evident by how he practically climbed over you to switch the lamp back on and give you his best mom glare, “Wait, you’re sleeping with HP?” You let out a few weak protests as the light flooded your room and his bony ass arm squished you down into the bed digging into your side. Drunk friends sucked. Too bad you loved them too much to leave them on the street. “So you’re in pain? You’re in pain and you didn’t say anything? You just went home alone and lied to Mark and me?”

“Johnny I always sleep with a heating pad and I’m always in pain. It's not a big deal.” Tonight just happened to be bad, still was, but you left that part out. “Also Jungwoo just left; I wasn’t alone.” That was accompanied by a successful effort to push him off so you could flip the light off again and snuggle into the heating pad again. “Now go to sleep, I'm tired.”

There was a brief moment of silence before you heard sniffling and an occadsional shuffle.

“Are you crying?” You asked incredulously, flipping over to see him hastily wiping away his tears in the ambient light filtering in through the window. Sure enough, your bitch-ass best friend was laying on the other side of the bed using his white undershirt to wipe his tears away. At least he was smart enough not to use your sheets as the tissue. “Stop crying.” This was new. Your friends probably knew way too much about how hard your days were getting, in fact Johnny had driven you to the ER one too many times over the past year and a half, but they had never cried in front of you. At least not about you.

You hated it.

His immediate response was denial, no he wasn’t crying. These weren’t tears, they were allergies. "Leaks in my face." But you still heard him mutter a muted “I just want you to be happy and not in pain” as the alcohol running through his system finally knocked him out.

You were struck silent, not sure how to respond. Sure he was your closest friend and that meant he had to like you, but this affection made breathing a little hard: your chest not quite expanding like it should. You felt a warm tear roll down your cheek as you turned to face the other side of the room, an effort to get away. This was exactly why you didn't tell them about tonight, you didn't want them burdened with your pain. They should have to suffer just because you were.

Ignoring the ache in your chest, you blindly reached out for where you set your phone on the bedside table. You still may not be able to sleep but you could get some reading done and maybe forget the sound of Johnny's tears. And maybe, just maybe, the words would lull you into some dreamlike state so you could rest. It was only a few minutes into reading that a text interrupted the chapter.

summary: College is hard enough, right? Coursework, two jobs, a social life, and the state of your mental health. As if that was enough now the school’s no.1 athlete won’t leave you alone after a one night stand. And maybe you like him back but you have a tendency to run when life gets too difficult especially now that undiagnosed chronic pain just seems to be getting worse with each passing month.

(I've decided updates will be Thursday at 6pm. I hope you enjoy this chapter)

What kookie wants kookie gets sjlsgdfj. I do also like the idea that namjoon will be the first though. I can imagine him being like ‘humans? Apes? No. bonobos.’or wtvr and just having a big sex big brain moment and creating the biggest sex biggest brain moment with the oc!! Like!! I’m living for that!!! So joon and jk are going to be either first or second for me lol. [2]

Jimin and oc do also need to work some stuff out though. Yes they did talk about it, but i need more resolution goddamitt and while fucking all of the dudes is fun for oo sexy fun dirty talk i think it will also take little jimbo a bit to adjust to the idea, potentially causing another falling out between him and the oc (rip) and i can see a similar situation happening with yoongi. He. hmm. It’s different to suggest signing a relationship form for one mans to signing forms with everyone. [3]

I think jimin will probably sign third (second if we’re lucky 🤞) and yoongi will be fifth or sixth. {end paragraph} Which leads me to a certain mr kim taehyung. I think he’s going to be the one with the most internal struggle regarding not only the forms with oc, but his horniness for the other crew members. I do think that he’s potentially “in love” with the mc, but Also jimin. @all of the people who are saying it’s jimin and not oc, you’re not wrong, but you sort of are. #sorrynotsorry. [4]

So i think that tae will be either last or fourth after talking about his emotions with somebody (coughjimincough) and just. Letting himself be a whole ass bi vibe (bibe)(bive??)(it’s a work in progress) {end paragraph} Hoseok is also going to be very conflicted, but from less of a gay panic pov and more professionalism. He wants to be a good little space boy, but he doesn’t realise that he can be a good space boy who isn’t sexually frustrated. Yet. [5]

I can’t say exactly when hoseok will sign (because he deffo will like. This is an ot7 fic. It’s inevitable) but he’s somewhere in the second half. Or maybe last because you like to make us suffer in our thirst :(. Can’t blame you though skshafjlglf. {end paragraph} Speaking of not being able to say exactly when,, i literally. Have no idea. When jin will sign the papers. You’ve made yourself a little wild card here, bee. [6]

Ew tumblr told me to wait an hour before sending anymore asks but it’s 3 am as of writing this note so hopefully you can find all of my asks lol (i’m sorry)(i just. i had to Go Off.) He seems like he would be one of the most accepting (at least outwardly) of the situation, but he also seems to be the type to put the others before himself? [7]

He could sign the form and not Do anything just to show everyone else that it’s okay to do the same (as i can also see happening with namjoon), or he could just not. Do anything at all. I definitely see it as more of ‘well, i can continue as i am. There’s no Need for things to change for me.’ than him not wanting to fuck because he do. He do wan sum fuk. thank you for coming to my ted talk :) [end]

______

So I must curse Tumblr on two accounts: 1 - they seem to have deleted the first part of this chain 2 - they prevent lovely people like you from sending me all your thoughts at once! 😖

I cackled with delight at this whole rant (especially at Hoseok, the good space boy). Thank you so much for sending it!

You are totally right that Jin is my wild card. 😉

i read your tags on that one discourse post and i agree so much..i really wish the movies wouldve showed the exceptionalness of the losers club and the Shining and stuff. is there anything else you'd change about the movies if you could?

ah i’m glad you agree! hmm so let’s see:

1. yeah like i said, i definitely Hate the fact that the adult losers were made to fight and yell at mike instead of just agreeing to come together and do what they had to do like in the book. and i Hate that they weren’t portrayed as the predestined ones that had been handpicked to defeat the stupid clown

2. i’d bring mike’s wonderful parents back, but that one has been talked to death lol. why delete one of the two (2) good parents? why do the drug addict thing??

3. adult eddie was...not the best. i’m not one of those people who’s super mad about it and tbh i don’t think most of it is ransone’s fault, but i didn’t like that eddie was portrayed as being timid. is eddie scared? yes. is eddie small? yes. is there a level of regression that he experiences when he comes back to derry that makes him act kind of childish? yes. but eddie kaspbrak was never, never timid. eddie wasn’t the reckless, impulsive kind of brave like bill, but he was the kind of brave that was stronger than his terror, the kind of brave that acts despite fear, the kind of brave that thinks “not this time...not if my friends need me!” that eddie, real eddie, would’ve been right there with bill to help save richie from spiderstan and we all know it

4. mike should’ve had 1) a memory when they were looking for their tokens and 2) an individual situation with pennywise in the lair, just like the other five. i understand that the movie was already hella long but make it just seven minutes longer! don’t shortchange the dude that the entire movie revolves around! the same dude that got shortchanged last time too! that being said i am so so so grateful that muschietti deviated from the book and didn’t have mike almost get murdered by bowers and spend the final fight in the hospital. i was P I S S E D about that when i read it for the first time. no amount of saving him through the power of Loser Love could remedy the fact that only five went down into the sewers, STEPHEN.

5. wish we coulda seen some of the canonical love for my boy bill! there’s an awful lot of people exasperated at him in the movies which is fair, but those kids (and later adults) loved the absolute shit out of him and i wish we could’ve seen that with more than just bev and mike

6. justice for the parallel between georgie kissing bill’s cheek before dying and then 27 years later bill kissing mike’s cheek before they all split and forgot each other forever!!!!! woulda been good. woulda been wonderful.

that’s all i can think of right now! BUT i am a sucker for the movies and i love them a lot so now i’m gonna tell you all the changes that i LOVED! which i realize is way more than you asked for, but i feel like rambling today so i’m gonna do it anyway:

1. like i said, mike in the final fight. thank you andres!

2. having a tame little bill/bev kiss instead of any gross ass cheating. and i liked the way they nodded at that “closing the circle between the past and present” thing from the book by having the adult kiss perfectly parallel the kid kiss, including bev curling her hands into fists and then putting one palm on bill’s cheek where she had smeared blood 27 years before. that was perfect

3. stan actually being around all the time! anyone who’s read the book knows that stephen would legit forget about stan every 150 pages or so and just have him.........not be there. he’d just be gone for no reason with no mention of his name (cocaine is a hell of a drug, kids). so i loved that stan was just as Present as everyone else in the movies and that one scene he got in IT 2017 where he gets separated from the losers and is screaming in terror while they all tell him how much they love him and that they’d never leave him was just...beautiful. it might be my fav movie scene of all

4. not having the ritual of chüd in IT 2017 was a good call. i’ve said over and over that IT is not an adaptable book and one of the reasons is because it’s so interwoven as the narrative switches back and forth between 1958 and 1985 at the drop of a hat. it gets even more interwoven as they get to the final fight, going from the kid fight to the adult fight sometimes even at the rate of a paragraph at a time. both chüds happen at the same time which you couldn’t do in a movie, so i’m glad they just bypassed chüd in IT 2017 and left it to be the big Final Fight when they were adults. i know lots of people hate the way muschietti did the ritual but like.....how the fuck was he supposed to portray some metaphysical, tongue-biting, it’s-all-happening-in-our-heads-as-we-get-pulled-out-to-the-edges-of-the-universe, cocaine-laced melee that really could only exist on paper? give him a break...he did his best lmao

5. confirming that richie is gay!!!! like we been knew but it was cool that they made the subtext into actual text...not a lot of book-to-movie adaptations do that

6. most of what they did with richie tbh. he was a bit of a mess in the book (like don’t get me wrong, he was mostly a pretty good friend and i like him but the racism...whew. beep beep richie, indeed) and i like how they remade him in the movie. he went from being offensive to just annoying and it was perfect lol

7. this isn’t one of the changes i like better than the book, per se, but it’s a change i’ve seen people complain about that i’m actually 100% okay with: i’m totally fine with bill having lied to georgie about being sick. this is both because i’m an ANGSTY BITCH and bill is my favorite so adding to his trauma and guilt complex speaks to me (sorry bill), and because it really and truly cuts to the heart of the issue: that bill is a good fucking big brother. two things can exist at once, that bill lied to georgie and that he was a good brother. having mcavoy!bill tell jaeden!bill that just because he didn’t want to play on a rainy day one time, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad person or a bad brother (”and it never did!”) is just. wow. that’s exactly the kind of absolution i wanted for bill and i’m totally fine with it!

8. HAVING THEM ALL REMEMBER EACH OTHER! GOD BLESS. i knew they’d make that change and yet i still wept over it like the fucking baby that i am

umm yeah sorry i think i’m done now. this is SOOOO much more than what you asked for, but apparently i have Thoughts today. thank u.

Help|Part 2

Pairing: Dad!Tony x Stark!Reader x Peter Parker

Warnings: No real warnings in this part at least.

Summary: You are Tony Starks daughter and Peter is one of your good friends. You don’t like to be helped until one day, when you aren’t able to refuse it. Even Tony might need to ask for it, a lot of it, to help save you.

A/N: This chapter is a bit shorter than what I had wanted but I wanted to leave it where it ended and save the rest for the next part. The paragraph of italics are a dream btw.

You hesitate to open the email. Its been over a year since you have seen them or had any contact. They are fugitives technically, after the whole winter soldier debacle they said you had to report any contact you have with them from that point on. Obviously you were not going to listen though, you refused to take sides but you would never turn against either. Oh well, Steve sent your dad a phone with a way to contact him. He should have turned that in but kept it a secret so that means you can too.

Just knowing that they contacted you got you excited. You miss them so much, Steve was like another dad to you, Natasha was a sister figure who helped teach you how to fight, it was really cool and helpful. Sam was like an annoying brother that you loved, always picking on you but if someone else did he would kick their ass. You were never bored with them around, your dad was really busy at the time so it was nice. You even missed Wanda, you were not as close to her as the others because she was only here for a little bit. The time she was here was nice, it made it so you weren’t the only ‘kid’ in the house even though she didn’t act like one at all.

Not wasting anymore time you tap on the email, a smile instantly appears on your face as you read the first line “Hey Little Stark,” Sam was the only one who ever called you that.

“We just wanted to reach out to see how you were doing. This situation sucks but it is for the best. We apologize for the mess we caused with the Avengers but we don’t regret it, we did what we believe was right.

Your soccer season is coming up, good luck. Hopefully you guys can win states again. Wish we could be there to cheer you on like we used to but we are there in spirit. Congrats on Tony and Pepper getting engaged. We were going to reach out to him to congratulate the both of them ourselves but we feel like it would not be the best idea.

Anyway, we were just thinking about you and wanted to reach out. Stay out of trouble kid. We saw a video of you flying away from the press a little bit ago, be careful. Glad to see you can still take care of yourself, let us know when you need some help.

Miss you,

Sam, Steve and Nat.”

You sat there staring at the email for a minute. They obviously doing fine if they are able to reach out. You were just so relieved they contacted you, even if it make you nervous because it is illegal. Not that you cared much, no one would find out anyway. Your dad has a secure internet network and have top privacy protocols on everything the three of you use. You decide to reply, clicking the arrow you select reply and start typing:

“Hey guys!” then you quickly delete that, not wanting to sound overly excited. You try again:

“Hey,

I’m so happy to hear from you guys. I guess you all must being doing good if you are emailing. I know you guys had to do what you did, I don’t blame you. It was a hard situation for both sides.

Our first game is next week, it looks like we will have a good season again so fingers crossed! Dad and Pepper are pretty excited, its moving pretty slow though. The only think picked is the fake press set date (Shhh don’t tell), we are trying to keep details a secret. Poor Happy has been going crazy with it.

Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine. But if you guys can do me a favor, I know what when Vision disappears he goes to see Wanda. Next time he comes keep him lol. He keeps trying to read me the right acts and everything.

I miss you guys,

(Y/N)”

Looked good enough to send. You did not want it to be too laid back or too professional in fear of what they will think. The excitement took over you though and you press send without thinking too much about it. You weren’t trying to impress them anyways. “Ms. Stark, your father says they are waiting for you in the lobby.” F.R.I.D.A.Y came over the speakers in your room.

Immediately you jump up, you completely forgot about dinner. Rushing to get presentable, you put on some shorts and a t-shirt, quickly applied a little bit of eyeliner and mascara, and put your partially wet hair up into a pony tail. It isn't like you are going out somewhere nice, or at least thats what you hoped. Leaving your room you run to the elevator to go meet everyone.

Dinner was nice, you all went to the Chinese restaurant down the street. They have the best sesame chicken. However, you were distracted the entire meal. You were itching to check your email to see if there was another reply. Focused on what they were doing, if they were planning on coming back. Why did they choose now to reach out? Was it just because of soccer or were they doing something? Either way you would just have to wait.

You could feel your eyes start to get heavy and you start dozing off. Walking into your bathroom you go to do your normal before bed routine, you grab a make up remover wipe from the pouch to take off your eye makeup then apply moisturizer. You change into a slightly larger tshirt and head to bed. Your bed was so comfortable especially after a long day. Your head sank into the mound of pillows on your bed.

Peter was over again, you guys were drawing plans for new gadgets and ideas that you could use. "I'm hungry, wanna get food?" Peter asked, you nodded and started to head towards the kitchen. Opening a cupboard, you grab a bag of something and go to head back to the table. You didn't make it far, you didn't realize that Peter was right behind you. You slammed right into his chest, you took a step back. He has a smile on his face, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you". He started leaning in closer to you when suddenly his lips were pressed against yours.

Your eyes shot open, you could feel your heart beating. Confused about what just happened you look around. It was just a dream. It got you thinking though, you couldn't stop thinking about it. Now the image of his big brown eyes were pressed in your mind as you lay in bed. Imagining running your fingers through his curls as he kisses you. You can't like Peter though, or can you? That dream sent all these ideas into your head. It was driving you crazy. All you could think about was him until you fell asleep. Maybe you did like Peter.

30 : Does writing calm you down or stress you out?calm me down, i have no control over my own life so its good to have complete control over my oc’s lives. i dont tend to have the ‘characters run away from me’ thing, but probably bc i dont see it like that lol

31 : What trope do you actually like?ride-or-die, charas who are knowledgeable and badass from the beginning, i hate following the character learning to do something lmao im impatient

41 : Do you find it distracting to read while you’re writing a first draft?nah

42 : Do critiques motivate or discourage you?ive never really had many, so i would say discourage bc i dont have a thick skin with my writing

43 : Do you tend to write protagonists like yourself or unlike yourself?unlike myself, i like to write bold, confident characters and im not that lol escapism much

44 : How do you decide what story idea to work on?whichever interests me the most at the moment, i can jump between projects easily so i dont have a problem

45 : Do you find it harder or easier to write when you’re stressed out?harder, i cant look at my writing if im stressed else ill absolutely hate it and might do something drastic like delete it all lol

46 : What Hogwarts house would your protagonist(s) be in?ary is slytherincyri is ravenclawash is gryffindorcaena is slytherin [i dont know how to spell the house names]

47 : Where do you see yourself as a writer in five years?still writing id hope

48 : Would you ever co-write?nah

49 : Are you a fast and rushed writer or a slow and deliberate writer?i used to be fast and rushed bc i was so impatient i just wanted to see the end product but i realised that i really love being in the world of my wips as long as possible so i draw it out and really mull everything over

50 : Would you rather be remembered for your fantastic world-building or your lifelike characters?both lol? i do love worldbuilding but i think characters make a greater impact

WIP tag meme

aaah, I was tagged over 2 months ago by @parkkate O.O sorry for not doing this sooner @parkkate XD I’ve been offline for a few months! Just now catching up on everything I missed! but I’m ignoring asks for now because my inbox is a mess

The Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

I’m gonna cheat and only do this for my drarry wips, since I post everything else on another account now, and tbh I have so many drarrys it’s still gonna be a long ass post XD

Oh man *sweats nervously* I’m a bit of a hoarder in all aspects of my life...I don’t even know where to begin!

I’m not tagging anyone cos I was tagged 2 months ago and I have no idea who has and hasn’t done this and don’t want to be a pain. But if you wanna do it, go a head, and please tag me so I can be nosy and hopefully find someone with a wip problem as bad as my own so I can be less embarrassed XD

Also I’m putting this under a cut for reasons

1. 4th year au idea

Sooooo, right off the bat, I often open a new file to jot down an idea even though I have docs specifically to dump ideas...and then at some point during the process of jotting down basic details of the idea...I start writing it....? This is one such occurrence...but I had to open it to check...and now I want to keep writing it XD

But also yikes it’s super dark

2. ... 4th year au idea

I swear, this is an entirely different wip and I am going ‘wtf’ at myself because wtf that’s confusing! I had also totally forgotten the existence of this before opening it....probably because of the name of it and the only reason I apparently have 2 files the exact same name is that one is a word doc and one is a libre office doc XD

3. drarry character death idea

Soooo, I need to stop turning idea files into wips without changing the names because I actually forget they are wips apparently

Also, I really want to finish this RIGHT NOW IT HURTS SO GOOD GIMME GIMME GIMME

4. Veela fic followup

LOL LOL LOL I’m rewriting my veela fic so I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to end up doing with this XD I might have to try and merge it with the re-write if the story has a similar outcome when I’m done. or maybe I’ll just turn this into its own thing....

5. Veela fic present tense

I really need to get back to working on this, this is actually the full re-write that re-doing the tenses spawned...I was binge writing this before my life went to hell but then my life went to hell and I went offline for like three months and didn’t do any writing or anything XD

although, the last time I looked at it I got the itch to change it back to past tense so who fucking knows what I’ll do with it now

6. Veela fic Draco pov

Curse my obsession with alternate povs of the same story and Draco for being such a good angsty pov

7. Veritaserum idea start

At least this one has ‘start’ in it so I know it is in fact a wip and not just an idea outline XD

7. Veritaserum

So, turns out I started that fic over in a new file and just left the old one lying around XD I do that too often. I should delete that other one...

Also...this better not turn into another ‘Amortentia’ with me unable to think of a fucking title and going with the file name because lame

This is also my first time trying to do god’s eye 3rd person instead of 3rd person pov...also first time trying to do this weird structure thing...I dunno but I like it XD

8. CTS followup

9. CTS sequel

Two separate followups set at different times in the same story verse... I hate myself. I love them both. I can’t pick which one to stop writing so I’m gonna keep them both around and try and make them merge at some point...

10. MMB saying sorry

11. another erase the shame

12. next erase the shame

I work on followups and lose interest so often (usually because people bug me for followups and I get very ‘fuck you’ about it and stop writing them...but I keep them around and tinker with them every now and then soooo they’re still technically wips

13. Tea and Coffee oneshot series (Tea and Coffee, Coffee and Dark Marks, The Cottage Kitchen, next untitled one)

There’s also a present tense version of the first one of those *sweats nervously* first 3 are finished, of course, but my original purpose is lost to them becoming a long fic soo....gonna merge them into one long fic soon...once I decide what tense I like better......kill me now

14. Communion of the Soul (folder name)

This is the sequel to One Touch and this is spread across 5 files because apparently I did that and even though each time I got to work on it I have to figure out which file holds which part of the sequel timeline and which I feel like working on...I have yet to merge them into one file to make my life easier...

15. Crumbling Facade

ugh working on this always makes me want to re-write restraint and actually put in the major plot line, or what was supposed to be Harry’s major plot line before the relationship crap got away from me and I had to cut out all the plot stuff because by the time I got around to addressing it, it started reading like a completely different fic and I had to cut a huge chunk and end it instead, because back then I sucked more than I do now and couldn’t juggle

sooo...I still work on this in starts and stops and then get frustrated for having to stick to Restraint’s chain of events when I have better ideas now for working in Harry’s plot about his damn magic problem and ARRGEHGEHGFVEDHDBVUIOFNBFKDB EFBVJ

I should just let Crumbling Facade take me where it wants to take me and fuck Restraint

16. Potter’s Insatiable Heart

This is my longest wip at 130k XD and I’m stalling now because if I keep going with it where I was intending to go it will end up my longest fic and I’m getting intimidated by the length and how much work it will be to edit that long of a fic so I just go in and write a few paragraphs now and again, get scared of the length and move on to another wip XD

I also periodically binge read this bitch because I love it to death even though it’s severely flawed XD

17. Corset Drarry

oh boy, when I started writing this this I was weirded out by writing a kink I didn’t understand and kind of tailed off and left it...then I did kinktober for voltron and now I’m laughing at myself because corsets and lingerie is so fucking tame after that kinktober list and all the the crap I wrote for it XD

18. Music in the Periphery

Emily bugs me about finishing this a lot...I bug me about finishing it, progress is non-existent because I have a clear plan for it and when I have a clear plan I can’t write for shit

19. Saying Sorry (Round 2) (MMB)

I gotta kick that habit of starting over with something but keeping the first attempt and still working on it parallel to the second attempt, because then I wind up with 2 fics too similar to each other to post both and I’m completely unable to pick which one I like more *facepalm*

Also, MMB is dead if I can’t stop turning the next fic attempts into angst, I just look at that big fluffy mess and want to angst it all up

20. scrapped MMB ficlets - theo’s letter

not technically drarry thought the greater series is drarry...torn between making it mmb or making it its own fic for a rare pair

21. Weather the Storm

*cries* my 6th year war au, I have such plans for this, but the plans get in the way of writing =(

22. Soulmate AU (folder name)

fucking hell, this is 10+ files and I’m not naming all of them, current count is 5 completed versions 60k+ each, 1 incomplete alternate version, all of which I’m seriously unsatisfied with, none of which I can bear to delete, all of which I periodically go and tinker with, thus leaving them all wips i’m such a fucking hoarder but also I have never gotten over all the awful comments that were on the original soulmate fic on ffnet before my purge and now I can’t ever be satisfied unless it is perfect and wont result in such horrible comments again

23. Turnabout (folder name)

Once again, multiple wips in here of the same 60k finished fic I’ve been unhappy with since the moment I finished it and keep trying to fix by starting over and changing things here and there to change the course of the story. Honestly ready to hit the delete button with this one unless my latest attempt pans out, liking it so far buuuut I’m a mess about my writing so who knows

In the Ways that Matter was based off this fic XD

24. Dependency

Oh boy, I abandoned this cos it was so dark I got too uncomfortable writing it...I’ve since started revisiting it after being in the Voltron fandom gave me a new tolerance range for dark content XD

Plan on posting this on anon if I ever finish it, obviously changing the title XD it stopped being relevant after the first 30k anyway

25. Dependency V2

LOL light version of the above that removes most of the dark aspects while maintaining the core plot, but I’m finding it a bit dull XD not sure how long I’ll keep trying to chug along with it

26. *censored title*

hahahaha omg why is this in a different subfolder, this is actually one of the soulmate au ones only it’s actually a spin off au of the original soulmate one I from ffnet and therefore it’s new ground and I’m less unhappy with it

.....I’m probably going to stop working on turnabout today and work on this instead now

(censoring the name because I might post this on anon because I’m too scared to post another drarry soulmate fic under my own name)

27. Retrospection

Sooo, I’m always on and off this fic cos it triggers my anxiety and depression, but fuck that I want to write it so I keep trying XD

I’m also thinking of splitting the two main plots and only going with 1 and using the other to write another story....see if that eases how difficult it is for me to write without self triggering

28. Sequel to mornings

29. Sunrise (loose prequel to mornings)

30. Surrender

I had no idea what this was, opened it and then holy shit THIS BITCH, THIS SLOW BURN FRIENDS TO LOVERS PIECE OF BULLSHIT. I DON’T WRITE SLOW BURN! I DON’T WRITE FRIENDS TO LOVERS. I REFUSE.

but also I really really really love what I wrote so far and now I’m itching to write more *cries* making this list is leaving me with so many open files to work on

31. day 2 ass worship

32. day 3 sensory deprivation

*laughs nervously* the kinktober oneshots that starting turning into a long fic hahahaha cos I really needed more wips

33. Perception of Angels

*wistful sigh* one day I will be able to finish a heavily plot driven story full of fantasy elements and creatures and magic I made up, and when that day somes, Perception of Angels....or that timetravel war au drarry fic idea I have sitting around.....which isn’t on this list only cos I’m not stupid enough to start writing it

So that’s all the drarry files in my wip folder.... I also have heaps more for other ships and fandoms, but I’m keeping that separate =)

And...now I have some writing to go do, cos after 2 months of being unable to write thanks to the bullshit in my life, I started binge writing again 2 days ago =) and opening a few of these to remind myself what they were has a lit a fire under my ass

#*#tag game #wip meme #i have too many wips #and this is only the drarry ones #and tbh there's another folder i didn't check because i'm pretending it doesn't exist #because they're all super plotty things and i do.not.have.the.time #i wish i could feel more secure in my writing so i could just post some of the completed things #and stop messing with them in a vain effort to make them perfect

tagged by: @illumes rules: tag 10 7 people you would like to get to know more / some of y’all aren’t mutuals, i hope you don’t mind that i’m tagging you ! feel free to ignore the tag !

@westenrah ; @tuffwrites ; @katedisons ; @lcvelys ; @cherriedwines ; @boriquawrites ; @zsvyres

name: honey

star sign: aquarius

gender: cisfemale

sexuality: bisexual

what image do you have as a wallpaper: on my mac it’s one of the generic wallpapers with a bunch of trees on a mountainside partially covered in fog, but you can barely see the image anyway bc i have so much shit saved on my desktop. on my phone, the lockscreen is this photo of tom holland that he posted on valentine’s day and my background is a photo of my friends and me taken while we were on holiday in seoul

ever had a crush on a teacher: in the 3rd grade we had to keep a journal that our homeroom teacher would read (so that they could keep up with what was going on in class besides academic stuff, i guess). although i did mention having a crush on one of the boys in the class, i also spent an entire entry basically flirting with my homeroom teacher (a sweet woman in her 20s). i made up some really cliche inspirational quote and told her that i hope it “put a big smile on her pretty face”, and also i kept asking her stuff like what her favourite song was, favourite colour, etc.

where do you see yourself in ten years: hopefully financially stable

if you could be anywhere else right now, where? back in the US, tbh. i did a semester abroad there, and it was probably the best 6 months of my life

coolest halloween costume: i’ve only ever dressed up for halloween twice. first time i was maybe 17 or 18 and i was wednesday addams. and then last year i dressed as a 1920s flapper girl (thank you, party city)

last kiss: a month ago? start of july, i was in taipei for a quick getaway and met up with a friend there. she took me to a club, and uh, i am a very, very slutty drunk

have you ever been stood up? nah

ever been to las vegas? no, but i’ve been to atlantic city? asdfhl

favourite pair of shoes? i have a gazillion shoes and it’s a real Problem bc i keep buying new shoes and then just hardly ever wearing them bc i live for comfort and only ever really wear my nike free 5.0 in black. or if i’m too lazy to wear socks i just wear my steve madden bryceee sandals in tan

favourite fruit: any other day i’d probably say mango, but i just had cherries last night, so! bing cherries, to be specific

favourite book: i wrote a whole ass paragraph and then deleted everything but the tl;dr is: there are books that resonated deeply with me but only bc i read them at a time when i needed them and i’m not comfortable declaring any one of those a favourite bc i’m not sure my love for them will hold up now that i am in a different headspace

stupidest thing ever done: in my first year of uni i had two finals and my dumb ass mixed up the dates and i didn’t realise i’d been studying for the wrong one until the day before when my friend was like “so are you ready for media writing final tomorrow?” and in that moment, i knew i was Fucked

favourite gif: i get called... “white man’s whore”...

6), 13), 34), 38) and 50) ^_^

6) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?

The milking fic, and because it never should have existed in the first place.

13) Who is your least favourite character to write for? Why?

I MISREAD THIS AT FIRST but Mori. As for characters I don’t hate but don’t particularly like to write, Fyodor, because I find his character hard to get a handle on. I feel like I would like to write him, but right now he’s difficult for me to write, although the last time I wrote him was way before the manga arcs that included him in a big way. I think now that the manga has included more about him, and Dead Apple has happened to kind of bring him to life to show me how he would talk and stuff like that, I would have an easier time this time around.

34) What’s the harshest criticism you’ve gotten?

OH BOY okay I wrote this fic for a Marvel comic where one of the characters was asexual and the other character he was in a relationship with wasn’t, and I got this whole huge paragraph from one person basically saying that they didn’t understand anything in the fic because the two of them kissed and shared physical affection, which is apparently something asexual people don’t do. Then they were like, how is this relationship working because one of them isn’t asexual? I have it saved in one of my emails. There’s probably been harsher criticisms but if there were, they were short. And this was literally like, a huge-ass paragraph. I didn’t even answer it because I was just like…I don’t want to explain.

38) If you could collab with any other writer on here, who would it be? (Perhaps this question will inspire some collabs!)

Most of the writers I know, actually! And I’ve already collaborated with @kageyamas-mom which was a lot of fun! I think it would be hard to both write the same fic but writing fics in the same series or complimenting fics or fics of the same event in different povs is fun. (That’s what kageyamas-mom and I did, she wrote a fic about a slam poetry competition au for skk and I wrote what happened after the competition.)

50) If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why?

Angst probably, because I like writing about conflict and people dealing with difficult situations, but it wouldn’t be like…completely depressing or miserable. A lot of times I like to write people being able to deal with those situations and moving past them, or even just having hope that in the future they can move past them or live with whatever it is.

Thank you!!!

Thanks to the lovely @whostheblondegirlwriting for taking the time to answer these! Get to know more about lovely E, go give her a follow and then show her some love!

These questions are from this list. You should check it out, there’s 50 questions all together and they’d be great to ask your favorite fic writer!

*Disclaimer from E, herself: If you’re looking for some sage-like writery advice...keep lookin’. You won’t find it here. This whole fic writing endeavor is an adventure in “[shrugs] We’ll see what happens”. Behold! An odyssey of half-assed, one line inspo. Marvel at the absolute appalling lack of plotting and vision. Tremble at the underwhelming realization that “Huh. I could do better than that”. In short, at least you don’t pay money for this, right?

1) How old were you when you first starting writing fan-fiction?

I have no idea, honestly. I signed up for AO3 to actually share it though in September 2015 when I was 36. So we’ll go with that.

2) Do you prefer writing OC’s or reader inserts? Explain your answer.

I think I have done more reader inserts than OC, counting all the tumblr oneshots. But you can actually create something substantial with an OC. An OC makes you work. I prefer them.

3) What is your favorite genre to write for?

I don’t know if I’ve done enough variety to have a fav, honestly.

4) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?

I wouldn’t. They’re all mine and I’m proud of each of them, no matter how popular (or maybe I should say, unpopular) they are/were.

5) When is your preferred time to write?

Whenever I have the time! I’m not picky, because time is very hard to come by with my job anymore and the fact that my husband doesn’t know I write. Morning, noon, or night for me. It can be hard to sneak it in and still get everything else done.

6) Where do you take your inspiration from?

I don’t have a good answer for this and I’m laughing to myself thinking I should have one. Lol An idea comes up and I write it. That’s it. Shameful, I know.

7) In your Back to One series, what’s your favorite scene that you wrote?

Oh, damn. Uhhh...I think I liked Sebastian fumbling through his confession to Lily in Montauk. But I also probably had the most fun with the “champagne incident” because it was for my tumblr-lifemate, @ceebeetumbles.

8) Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?

Nope. It is what it is. You can’t please everyone and I don’t try. As long as I like it, it’s good enough. It’s not like anyone’s paying me for this, anyway. Lol

9) Who is your favorite character to write for? Why?

Hmm. Right now, I’d have to say Jack Rollins, because he preoccupies so much of my writing lately. Besides his own fic, he’s also featuring in an AU for Echo that’s in draft. Considering he had two lines in Winter Soldier, I’m very proud of the interest and love my Jack gets.

10) Who is your least favorite character to write for? Why?

Chris Evans, for right now. Only because he has been less than inspirational for some time due to his relative inactivity and, uh, [ahem] some personal choices he made. But I’m optimistic he’ll come back.

11) How did you come up with the title for the Back to One series?

The main character, Lily, goes through some personal and professional ups and downs as an actress. The phrase “back to one” is a direction for actors to go back to their first mark, so I thought it was fitting, as Lily would hopefully get things right, find her best self again, and have a fresh start as she meets different situations and opportunities in her story.

12) How did you come up with the idea for the Back to One series?

I thought I’d write a Sebastian Stan fic and figured a good match for him (and someone to help drive the story) would be an actress. But then I considered an OC like Lily could have more angles to write and it became really an OC fic that features Sebastian Stan. Oops.

13) Do you have any abandoned WIP’s? What made you abandon them?

I haven’t ever abandoned a fic. I refuse to give up on A Touch Up and do write a line or two here and there, just nowhere near the volume I need to publish a full chapter like I used to. It ended up on the shelf because Chris Evans got so boring after Civil War premiered and the fic is literally built on what he was doing in his everyday life. I also have a personal distaste for Jenny Slate and I guess you could say his decision to date her made me doubt the version of him I’d created in ATU, which is a problem when your fic is paired so purposefully around the assumptions I/we all had made by that time about him.

14) Are there any stories that you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?

I’m doing it. Echo was my pet project and, though it has my smallest following for a WIP, I had enough demand/interest for the story to be told from another character’s perspective that Jack Rollins and the STRIKE Series were born. There’ll be some unexpected things along the way in that series that I hope those fans/readers enjoy.

15) Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?

No. I’ve only ended a couple fics (Echo and Kindness). Everything else is still a WIP or open ended series that publishes oneshots every once in awhile. The rest of my work is basically oneshots.

16) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?

Don’t laugh at me when I say I admire anyone who puts their work out there, even if it’s just a paragraph long imagine only on tumblr. It takes a lot of nerve, no matter what level your work is at or how big the scope. I’ve seen some good, bad, and ugly fic floating around, but I see value in it all and love seeing experience/determination help the writer evolve.

We ain’t all Hemingways or Shakespeares. And that’s okay. Some of the best writers don’t have thousands of followers and get hundreds of notes (but deserve them). And some of the behemoths out there aren’t necessarily turning out mind blowing fic, either. It’s a crapshoot and fandom can be fickle (if not downright confusing af).

17) Do you have a story that you look back on and cringe when you reread it?

Not at all. If it posts, I’m happy with it.

18) Do you prefer listening to music when you’re writing or do you need silence?

Either is fine. I probably write more in quiet, though, because my husband works 3rd shift, so I’m mindful not to disturb him.

19) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?

No. Closest I could say to giving me my own feels was when I wrote The Death of Brock Rumlow (when it existed as part of the original Echo plot).

20) Which part of your Back to One series was the hardest to write?

I’m happy to say I don’t think there’s been a hard part to write for Back To One, or any of my fics. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it!

21) Do you make a general outline for your stories or do you just go with the flow?

Nope. No outlines or plans. I pretty much just sit down and write. If inspiration doesn’t hit, I’ll switch to a different WIP. If I have an idea for a line or scene I might make a note for later (maybe just a few words to point me in the right direction/remind me, or a line or two of dialogue), but once I get to it, I usually just write it out at once.

22) What is something you wished you’d known before you started posting fan-fiction?

How little time I’d have down the road for it. Maybe I wouldn’t have run such long WIPs/fics at a time. It feels like it’s been 100 years since I had time to open requests and I had to abandon a weekly posting schedule for 3 WIPs earlier this year because I just don’t have the time to manage the volume I used to anymore.

23) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?

OMG yes! Echo and its companion fic, Jack Rollins (and I’ll probably say the same for the au/the STRIKE series). At this point, I can confidently say the following for Echo didn’t carry over to Jack Rollins, but I knew both were niche fics in the beginning anyway. I’m grateful for the attention Echo got, but it was such a labor of love, I’d have liked to see it do better. I may only have several regular readers for Jack Rollins commenting or reblogging, but those few readers and myself are the ones I wrote it for, and that I’ll keep posting it for until it’s finished, regardless of how tiny the readership because I love it.

24) In contrast to 23 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?

Not in an “oh, geez. Not that again” way. More like a “oh, stop. I can’t believe you guys like it that much” kind of humbled eye roll.

25) Are any of your characters based on real people?

Obviously the celebrities like Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, technically yeah. I have no doubt that some of my own ticks, experiences, etc have made it into a character or plot, or things from people I know or have come across. Things you don’t necessarily draw lines between on purpose but maybe catch on to later, sure.

26) What’s the biggest compliment you’ve gotten?

Any of the comments or messages from people who say they cried, laughed out loud in public, got way too giddy, or held their breath because of something I wrote. They make me so happy, just to see someone got so lost or involved in a moment means I did a good job. Having someone say they reread a fic (or are reading for the X time) is a hell of a compliment, too.

27) What’s the harshest criticism you’ve gotten?

It was about A touch Up and how I had given the reader insert character, or implied, too much description (ex. noting that POC don’t blush as often as this girl did, when I wrote it as that feeling in the cheeks anyone can experience to convey her nervousness/embarrassment/etc at those points in the story so people maybe shared that sense as they read, not that she frequently ran around with a noticeable flush) and that, although I may not have said it outright, things like that apparently had made her so that she was obviously white. That ruined it for the commenter, despite there not actually being that much said about appearance in the story.

28) Do you share your story ideas with anyone else or do you keep them close to your chest?

Rarely. @ceebeetumbles gets a snippet of a chapter thrown at her once in a very blue moon, if I want to be sure something isn’t too cliché or generally awful. Lol But there’s a chance she’s reading along with the fic, so I may not send the whole chapter. I don’t plot per se or collaborate with anyone though.

29) Do people know you write fan-fiction?

Just the lovely people who’ve visited me on Tumblr or AO3.

30) What’s you favorite minor character you’ve written?

It’s a toss up between Frank Grillo’s appearance in A Touch Up and Jack Rollins or Eric Mickelson in Echo. I’m also a little fond of Drew Madison in Back To One.

31) What spurs you on during the writing process?

That I told you I’d post an update to a WIP, promised a drabble, or set a deadline that a request would be done by. So, really just my self-imposed “schedule”.

32) What’s your favorite trope to write?

I don’t really have one.

33) Can you remember the first fic you read? What was it about?

Nnnope. Lol

34) If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why?

It’s a toss up between angst and fluff. They both come pretty easily. Honestly, smut is exhausting to write and I do so little of it because I don’t want it to be repetitive. Fluff is always fun. But, man...the possibilities with angst are pretty limitless, so maybe I’d lean a little more that way.
