Ugh. You won't believe this. I'm sorry to bug you, but I just needed to vent.

I saw some idiot on twitter saying that when E met Priscilla he had an eleven year old girl living with him in Germany. They mentioned Scotty Moore said that in his book so I looked it up. What he said was at the time E met Cilla, he had an "even younger German girl" (his words) living in the house with his father and grandmother. Except...well, I can't find any proof of this; there’s no evidence nor mention of this girl (or how old she was) anywhere else in the book nor in any other books written about him. No proof he had anyone else like that living with him in Germany.

So I don’t think that claim is true. Where do people come up with this stuff anyway? How do you not get into an argument with these idiots? Because it's super annoying.

ugh, believe it or not, baby, im not surprised at all. but you could never bug me !!! 💖 sorry it took me so long to answer this, but rest assured i haven't calmed down about this any since you first sent it 😅

a couple notes‐ honestly, i'm inclined to believe scotty. NOT TWITTER to clarify lol.. eleven seems young for him even if you are looking to view e through the most unflattering light possible 😬 but it seems likely to me that he had another teenage girl maybe not uh. officially on the lease or anything but staying over most nights ! more than ONE even sounds plausible.. we all know that someone didn't like his bed cold.!

people who claim to hate elvis sure spend an awful lot of time reviling him on the internet, especially by regurgitating half-remembered anecdotal evidence without citing their sources. 🙄 on the other hand, it's also easy to fall into the trap of too-faithful elvis historian; by that i mean that the fact that so much of his life is documented sometimes makes us complacent in our belief that if it can't be verified by multiple primary sources that it must not have happened. but we can't always say, and getting too involved as if the historical accuracy of one particular proposed event is the end-all be-all of elvis fandom can get exhausting.!

i wouldn't be surprised to find out either way, that this was or wasn't true. but you're free to make up your own mind, and if it distresses you, then fwiw i think you Totally have a leg to stand on affirming it never happened, like you said !! ultimately, it doesn't have much bearing on right now- if you like elvis, this vague and nebulous criticism probably isn't the thing that'll make you stop liking elvis, and if you hate elvis, you're probably determined to keep doing that regardless.

regarding the twitdiots- while looking into this claim i found a lady on there who legitimately believed that agent elvis tells the true story of how e was experimented on and mind controlled into drug abuse by the government.. like she said That with her whooole chest. so i don't put much stock in public opinion over there 😂😂💀

i want to fight those people extremely often (they're not just on twitter, either- it seems to have died down a little praise GOD but especially in early days after the movie there was a wave of ppl on here who would put their elvis hate in the main tags. WHICH DROVE ME BATTY), but i come from the "don't feed the trolls" era of fandom. as much as id like to rip 'em a new one when they rehash the same two issues over and over and OVER again ad nauseum, i content myself with the fact that they're living a pathetic existence in which they actively choose to fill their life with something they dislike for... no discernable reason.?

no one who spends their time bringing up a dead celebrity at all opportunities just to bash them is actually open to a discussion. and i do think there is a discussion to be had- his life was certainly very troubled, and i think there are a lot of nuanced issues that benefit from being spoken about openly !!!

but i like to debate bc i like to WIN- so jackasses tend to be a waste of my time 😘

#ask #if anyone DOES decide to start fighting idiots tho tag team me !!!#ill pop in for a few rounds 👊💥#i try to just move on without paying it too much attention #and everyone on here is so lovely its a good distraction !!!#i dont think theres any harm in choosing to see the good in people #esp dead people im sorry #like either im right and elvis was a flawed but kind person (all i get is bragging rights)#or im wrong and he was a dirtbag (all i get is . literally nothing)#when i die and meet him ill send yall word but i think we already know what the answer is 😘#but either way it doesnt have much objective bearing on my life..#as long as im deluding myself into writing fanfic anyway who cares right?? 🤪#like who cares if i choose to use him as a vessel to make myself happier #i DO truly believe he was a good person and i think weve p much reached the point where #no one but angie marchese herself could talk me out of that #🙃🙃🙃#NOTE THIS LOGIC DOES *NOT* APPLY TO PPL WHO MAKE FLOWER CROWN EDITS OF SERIAL KILLERS

Hi! I've been religiously reading ur beyond evil fics and I've been wondering about your writing in general (kinda in awe of how much you write and how consistently good it is). Like, what are your favorite parts of the process? And do they differ whether you're writing fanfiction or original stuff? (I always find dialogue so hard to nail down and make it natural!) Ahh and I'm really curious whether you have a favorite fic you wrote. Also, have u ever posted smth about your og stuff? I'm intrigued by people's ocs (though I get sharing that can feel kinda personal). So yeah, sorry if I'm bothering you, I just love ranting about writing (oftentimes it's easier than actually writing😅).

aaah hello! thank you so much for shooting the message--i want you to first and foremost know that your comments always make me smile a lot, and i also love your fics, so . . . nice to meet u online!!! your words mean so so much to me :')

to answer your questions (which also made me feel really happy, btw, i decided to actually sit down and carve out some legit time to answer this): my favorite part of the writing process is probably when i finally feel like i've hit the character's head. which is to say, when i no longer actually feel like i'm writing as myself, but rather, i feel as though the characters themselves have taken over, and i'm just a mere observer/stenographer to their thoughts and conversations. it makes me feel as though i've just kind of given myself over to the characters struggling in my head, and it's a very freeing and satisfying feeling.

i suppose this feeling also applies when i'm writing original work as well as fanfiction. with original fiction, though, i think that feeling is oddly more . . . gratifying? because at least with fanfiction, i know the characters because i've spent hours and hours with them, usually by watching/reading content about them--but with original characters, i feel more like an awkward single parent/long lost aunt who's kinda. poking at these new kids. being like. who are you? also, stop hiding your personality from me. who are you, is this actually you, or am i just projecting too much of myself onto you? tell me who you are, goddammit! which is a much more personal journey, i think, especially when you're creating something that's original. so that ties a little bit into one of your other questions: i do have lots and lots of original characters. i have some who have been with me for just about seven years of my life now, while others are just a few weeks old, and yet they talk to me the most. my most recent set of original characters are probably the most vocal ones--they're very persistent, very down-to-earth and jabbery and loud, while my oldest original character tends to be very stubborn. i still don't know how to approach her--but whenever i do, she tends to put up a wall and go lmao, try again.

that said, i haven't ever actually posted an original work! i've been wondering if i should these days--i want to get published as a legitimate author one day, but you know . . . i think it would be nice if i got out smaller stories about my original characters out there, just for fun. i don't know where to do it yet though--i don't think wattpad is my speed, so i'll have to keep looking!

as for a favorite fic i've written! i think my favorite ones might be but you could make me a drink (or a latte), which is this coffeeshop jwds au. i had so much fun writing it, mostly because i think it's a) the first time i ever wrote a coffeeshop au and b) i think a lot of my beyond evil works can tend to touch sadder/bittersweet themes (just because the show is. like that.), so it felt very freeing to write something that was so . . . lighthearted. i'm also very proud of the dialogue in that one, and i also loved how i really pulled no punches in making fun of just how much of a loser joo won is. (world's grumpiest barista ever, indeed.)

tied for my favorite is probably also in my breath again, which is very different from the last named fic in that a) it’s set post-canon-ish and b) tackling with much darker, sadder themes. but i also am particularly proud of this fic because i think it’s one of the fics that probably gets at the core of the kind of messages i want to ultimately impart to readers, which are genuinely messages about how one can slowly recover from particularly sad periods of their lives. i think there’s a place for darker works in general--i think that they’re just as important, but i find that i can’t always write those kinds of things, or if i do, i tend to struggle a lot, or the characters themselves seem to rebel against me (which is perhaps why i love kim su jin as a writer so much). i like to think that all stories i write or all future stories i write will always contain that seed of i want to live, i want you to live, in whatever way that mean (changing out lightbulbs when they go out, buying groceries every weekend, kissing the hand of a person who’s been at your side).

so i guess that kind of brushes back to a question on original fiction: i would love to share it with the world! i hope it brings people as much (joy’s not the right word) warmth (maybe? if i’m not being too presumptuous) as my fics.

thank you again for the thoughtful questions! as you can tell, it’s also much easier for me to answer questions about writing rather than writing itself, askdfasdfsd--and thank you again for your incredibly kind words over the last few months, as well as the kind words that you’ve given today! :’))

#answered #caroline talks #i figured i should tag it this way because i've written so much #thank you againnnn!!! :')))
