#THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK!!!

[marimayscarlett]

This is a FREE pass to deep dive into ANY of your favorite thing(s) about Mr. Zee Kay!!! I wanna hear EVERYTHING about your favorite thing, I love seeing your deep dives and essays on the most important subject to exist ❤️

❗ CAUTION. LONG-ISH POST AHEAD. ❗

Hi! First of all:

Kissies for you for sending me this ask, thank you so much! This has been sitting in my inbox for a while now since it took me ages to decide what this post should be about. I didn't want to make yet another fashion/stage outfit/etc post, so I decided to do something different with it.

I decided this will be a long ass post about Richard's outspokenness and honesty in interviews and some of my favourite quotes/topics he spoke about in the past. This man has A LOT to say and sometimes is brutally honest with his answers. You ask him how he's doing or what he thinks about XYZ? Prepare for a lengthy and detailed reply. You ask him something silly or boring? Be prepared he quite actually reacts quite directly on it.

This list will be sorted by three topics: 1. Quotes regarding work with Rammstein, Emigrate and in general, 2. Quotes about his personal life and finally, 3. Unhinged shit Richard says since this man sometimes has no filter.

All interviews will be linked, german quotes are translated into english. Prepare yourself, this will be long and self-indulgend and I'm probably the only person who's really interested in this stuff but i don't CARE, I love reading about and listening to this man and I'll use this post to my liking thanks to this lovely, lovely anon 💞 Let's get started 👀🤍

Richard on working with Rammstein and Emigrate and music in general

In this interview, Richard talks about being put into the right wing corner by the german media and how hard it is for him and the band: "You want to shout it out loud and convince people otherwise, only to find that nobody listens because nobody wants to know. They want you in this corner. That was very disillusioning."

Here he gives an example for his immeasurable perfectionism and how he tries to protect himself from it: "I spent a lot of time recording guitars over and over again. I ended up giving my guitar engineer the key to the locker where my guitar cabinets are and told him “Do not give me this key back”,  otherwise I would have still been in there recording guitars right now.

In the same interview, he also gives an example how the whole Mutter problem came into play: "So if I’d come up with 45 ideas, then others in the band may feel they’d have to come up with 45 ideas as well. There was lot of pressure going on within Rammstein because of that."

Here Richard talks about how he, back in the GDR days, wandered from peer group to peer group to find his style: "I've always been bored of sticking with just one group of people. The metalheads got drunk too often. So I moved on - and I found that refreshing - to the punks …" Interviewer: … who didn't drink any less. "No, exactly. And they were also dirtier (laughs). Then I was with the bluesmen, and they always went to these blues fairs. And because they also drank a lot, they could sleep well, whereas I, who didn't drink, always woke up at three in the morning because I was so cold - we only had these thin cotton sleeping bags."

Richard on the amount of hours which go in one song of his [interview]: "At some point, I calculated that it takes me about 1000 hours on average for a song to reach the listener. But I don't want to think too much about the time involved. That would just be frustrating."

On his relationship with Flake and that he would be the one member of the band Richard would play an Emigrate album as a test run to [interview]: "Although someone like Flake would probably be very open to that. We have a lot of respect for each other and are in a lively exchange. For example, I regularly listen to his radio show - and call him afterwards to ask him what weird stuff he's been saying. (laughs)"

2. Richard on his personal life

In my alltime favourite podcast with Richard, he admist to seemingly being a quite difficult person to live with (apparently, only his daughter is able to and is relaxed enough to bring him inner peace). He hates talking in the morning, needs time for himself with no talking and reflect on things and sometimes is afraid/annoyed that he has to explain himself to others (since other people tend to take offense because of this). This is one of the reasons why he definitely can't imagine living together with a girlfriend again.

Here he talks about the evolution of friendship with Till: Intervier: How has your friendship changed over more than 30 years? Richard: "Well, as it goes in life: Unfortunately, there's never a happy ending. You should only meet friends once or twice a month. It's unnatural for men to be extremely close for decades. At some point you want to be left alone." Interviewer: You two are more like colleagues these days? Richard: "Sounds stupid, but that's kind of how it is. But I still have a basic trust: If anything happens, I know I can call Till and he'll be there, just like the others."

Here Richard admits to his immense moodiness at times: "I am a very moody person, my mood sometimes changes by the hour."

Why he likes western movies so much [interview]: "It might sound strange, but I have really early childhood memories of my father watching these cowboy movies and falling asleep… that ended up being part of my upbringing somehow."

And his fond memory of the wild times with Till after the wall came down [interview]: "Because at that time, in every house there was a techno or rave party, and we would go there, and 7 in the morning, he would bring his daughter to school, and then come back and we would stay there into the daytime, and dance to these electric beats — I mean, can you imagine us dancing like that?"

How he answers to a fan question in which movie/show he'd like to be a part of (musically or in general) [article]: "I would have loved to have been in Game of Thrones. I really love fantasy worlds, you know? Also Westworld."

3. Welcome to the unhinged RZK corner aka "Shit RZK says":

In this interview, he describes his relationship with music like this: "I believe the music itself must be the king, but I want to be the queen." Alrighty then 👀

Just overall this conversation with him thinking about filming himself having sex [interview]:

The Gauntlet: Do you always have that funny smile during sex? [regarding the Pussy MV]

Richard: "I actually never watched myself but you have a point. I really should watch myself or videotape it. I never really...I can do it. I did that a long time ago but every girl is different. Do I really smile? Sometimes I guess, I will have to check that out. You really have me thinking on that one."

This man seemingly tried every therapy under the sun, which is good, but this one left me a bit speechless [interview]: "I always had the feeling that I was a king without a nation. That was always in my head and I once did reincarnation therapy and experienced this life. It was really interesting and this song came out of that [song: Born on my own].

Here he admits to throwing a guitar at Lemmy Kilmister: "It was the third time a roadie had given me an out-of-tune guitar. So I threw it at him. Unfortunately, Lemmy was standing there watching the show from the side of the stage. But I didn't know that, I just saw Lemmy disappear. That was very embarrassing for me."

Or he throws his credits cards at sales women (how about some anger management my guy): "The last time I was there [New York], I wanted to pay for a coffee in a café with a hundred dollar bill. But not because I wanted to be a big shot, but because I just had this one bill in my pocket. The sales woman hissed at me and threw the bill back over the counter. I just thought: She's out of her mind. I then threw my credit card at her. I was really angry."

If you made it to the end of this post, I really applaud you and apologize for my rambling yet again 🙏 I could go on and on (I didn't even started with quoting the video interviews), but I think since I'm the only one who's into this, I stop right here 😅 Have some smiley Richard as a reward 🍀

Hey, it's me! The person that asked about your astro boy au, and i have a question, do you have in mind on how robot tenma and grown up tobio would look like? :0 I really like your AU and i wanted to do a fanart of it! But i was afraid I would make their designs very different from what you had in mind! Hope you are doing well!!

OH MY GOD!!

Fanart of something I made!?

ME?

AHHH-

Um...

I don't really know how to explain it well but Tenma/Rigel looks how he does in AB but like shiner, without lines/wrinkles on his face, his eyes are kinda square shaped, and he wears the same outfits he did in his cameo from the show Jetter Mars.

He's usually smiling since he's programed to be really happy. His hair and beard are made from artificial hair cause I can't really picture them made from metal.

Tobio looks a lot like he did in the 2003 series but taller.

He's usually wearing a lab coat that's a size two big for him. (it was Tenma's first)

He spent a lot of time inside since he was severely depressed after robot Tenma left so he's kinda pale, and also sleep deprived so his eyes have dark circles around them and bags under them. Scowls and frowns a lot, usually very slouched posture.

Ahh I forgot the tags to that last question canon-typical violence, fluff, found family, first meetings

This is Kaylee Frye POV fic about how she went and got her job on Serenity.

Summary: You know those days where you meet someone who's gonna change your life in some way, but you don't know it, because mostly you were watching him watching you with a real speculative look in his eye? And then he asks if you want to see his place, and you figure why not, but then that place is both nicer than you'd expect, but also, he don't take care of it none? Kaylee figured she was having one of those days, and in her book, those days had always ended up real shiny.

Probably unrealistic but… if Col were to suddenly remember his old name, what would he do? Would he tell Linden?

OKAY i really really debated posting this in case it... i dont know, took away some of the cloudiness around Col's past?

but I really loved this idea and I wanted to write a NON-CANON little thing for it. to examine what a painful scenario this would be!!

so yes, don't read on if you dont want to know Col's old name! and.. there will be a pronunciation note at the end. just in case :')

-

The nightmares were getting worse.

Colton had never had nightmares before, not really. None worth complaining about. The pain wasn’t even real, in a nightmare. It couldn’t teach him anything new.

The worst nightmares were about someone who wore Colton’s face, but… differently. He was more youthful, more open. Col hated those nightmares more than anything.

He rarely remembered them, even when he woke and scrambled to hold on. Through the pain, it seemed like they were trying to tell him something.

Col could never know why it was different, that one night in late spring. He’d been with his Master for over a year, and it seemed that the more he let himself trust, the more the nightmares reared their head. As if they were trying to fill the space where no pain occurred- the space between dawn and dusk. No pain ever occurred, except the phantom aches in Colton’s body and head.

The nightmare one night in late spring was particularly evil. It showed Colton images he had never seen before, and yet he was still overcome with emotion. It felt like something was in his chest and clawing to get out.

When Col woke, the nightmare lingered and spoke to him.

Rhys, it whispered, its clarity knocking the air from the room. My name was Rhys.

Col didn’t need tangible proof to know it was true. He could tell from the way he sat up in bed and- stayed there. Frozen with shock.

Oh, god. He’d had a name.

His time with Master had involved a lot of untangling already: unlearning so much of what he’d been taught through hard pain, and doing it fast. But throughout everything, Col had always known what he was, and when he came into being. He knew that there was nothing before the basement. He’d been disobedient, in his earliest memories, and then he’d been corrected. How could that be true if he… he had a name?

If he had a name, then there really had been a before-time. He hadn’t come into the world fully grown and subservient. The horrific, half-obscured memories of the endless pain and lessons and disobedience hadn’t been his true birth. He had been born before that, he’d come into the world taking a huge gulp of air and crying at the intensity. He must have been held, that day, and loved. No one had loved him on his second birth, the day he became Pet.

But his name- his current name- was a gift from his owner. It represented the pet he was right now, and all he’d been through. Perhaps he had had a third birth, then. Perhaps his metamorphosis was three-fold.

Rhys was gone. Pet’s birth had been his death. Colton didn’t know him, although they shared a body. Colton didn’t know the way that young man had smiled or laughed, whether he’d preferred summer or winter, whether he would have liked his current Master. Rhys hadn’t had a Master at all, had he? He’d been-

He’d been-

Colton got out of bed, and avoided the mirror when he went to shower.

He’d had a name. There were too many conclusions to be drawn from that. Despite his animal stupidity, Colton knew he couldn’t double back and pretend it had just been a dream, but perhaps he could pretend it didn’t matter.

He didn’t want to think about the possibility that he was man-made, that he hadn’t been born to be a slave. He didn’t want to think about the idea that this had been done to him by someone. He didn’t want to think about the implication of a life taken away, reduced to his current state. He didn’t want to think about a mother and father, friends, loved ones, a home.

He didn’t, and, he couldn’t. It strained at the very seams of his own sanity. He wanted to get back down on his knees and serve, and think only about whether he was being a good boy or not. That was all he could ever aspire to.

. . .

just so everyone knows, it’s pronounced like Reece :-)

also, I really like that Glass Animals song Heat Waves. the lyrics "Sometimes all I think about is you... late nights in the middle of June..." always always make me think of Colton alone in his room, mourning his past self that he can never speak to or console, but whose pain is still his own

Trick or treat! For any of your OCs:

TRICK: Has your OC ever been betrayed? By whom and how?

TREAT: What is the kindest thing someone has done for your OC? Who was it?

No pressure to answer this! Sending you lots of love!

Hi anon! Thank you so much for this ask 🥰 I’m sorry it took me so long to answer this, haha, I just got home from a night out. This was a lot of fun to think about and explore <3333 I hope you had (or are having) a lovely Halloween 💙💙💙💙

I answered both of these for Marin, under the cut!

Trick:

When they were in high school, they were never really noticed, which didn’t help the situation happening at home. They just put all of their focus on trying to do well in their classes, so that it left Rebecca with one thing less she had to worry about (while also trying to be noticed by her). One of the other kids asked them out once—as a joke. They stopped trusting people who were attracted to them a lot less after that. Hence why the breakup with Bobby hurt them as much as it did. And why Nat confused them a lot in the beginning… and scared them, just because they didn’t know what to do with the flirting and the attraction. (That’s why a lot of their reactions at first were more flustered and shy.)

Treat:

On one of their beach trips right after graduation, they went because they were stuck in a depressive spiral and the beach always helps them feel better. They were looking for agates and glass and crossed paths with an older lady. Marin never learned her name but they spent hours trading beachcomb finds, and she told them stories from when she was younger while they walked. It wasn’t necessarily an act of kindness, but it was exactly what they needed at exactly the right time. Just a little connection to help them remember that they aren’t as alone as they feel. Marin’s carried it with them ever since then.

If the ask game is still going, 4: What's something you've researched but haven't incorporated into a fic?

If not, uh... which fic has your brain in a chokehold atm?

Sure! I'll answer this one!

Funny story, I haven't actually researched anything that hasn't gotten into a fic that I can think of! So instead, I'll tell my most interesting research story for Complex Inquiries. (It's probably not actually that interesting, so beneath the cut it goes.)

A plot point in that AU is that Unit MS-1 seeks a repaint from a college art student in order to get a new sense of identity. In return, though, eventually, Unit MS-1 allows itself to be presented as said art student's final project. I'd always planned for that to be a plot point. I'd intended for such an event to be a neat little bow to cap off the end of arc 2, a quickly described moment to symbolize how far Unit MS-1 has come in learning to care about others by allowing the college student to use her work on it for her own gain a little.

Only one problem: I'm not a college art student! I don't have any idea how any of that stuff works!

So how did I find out? Did I research on college websites about the structure and expectations of art classes? Did I surf art forums or subreddits to see what artists on the internet have posted about their experiences getting their degree?

No. As it turns out, my roommate is an art student. And she has the impressive distinction of being used as a source of research for a novel-length Sonic fanfiction. After I explained the plot I was planning to her with the most bare-bones, fandom neutral description possible, I peppered her with various questions ranging from "how are final projects generally set up in classes and what are their rubrics?" to "if you turned in a 'repainted found metal structure', do you think you'd get an A?"

To which she replied, "oh, there'd be an art critique!"

"what's an art critique?" I asked.

"It's where people show off their art to the entire class and give their artist's statement!"

"OH, SO YOU MEAN A LITERAL HOLLYWOOD-STYLE CLIMATIC REVEAL?? WHERE THE PIECE OF ART FORMALLY DECLARES ITS NEW IDENTITY TO AN AUDIENCE AND IS THEN JUDGED FOR HOW WELL ITS INTENT IS COMMUNICATED???"

So yeah. My artist roommate accidentally provided me with a outline for one of the most climatic moments of the entire fic. But then she asked, "what the hell is this story actually about?", and I had to explain that this was not for some original novel, but for a Sonic fanfiction. You win some, you lose some.

Now I'll occasionally pop my head into her room and ask nonsense questions like "give me two art terms that an art major would say to sound impressive to someone who knows nothing about art" and she'll be like "Dadism and De Stijl!" and then she'll chuckle, shake her head, and try to suppress her secondhand embarrassment about the fact that she's helping me write Sonic fanfiction.

#thank you for this ask!!! #complex inquiries #developer commentary #my roommate is very kind and very patient #my other roommate runs screaming from the room the moment I breathe a word about sonic #these tags out of context sound stupid but I assure you they make sense with the stuff beneath the cut lmao #EDIT: no idea why the cut migrated so low in the post! tumblr my buggy beloved

[mitochondriencocktail]

Honestly i love each and every AU you graced upon us

Let’s say 6 11 18 28 plus one you would like for the Monster AU 🫶🏻

This is so sweet of you to say, thank you ;o; <3

6. Do they go out often or prefer to stay indoors?

I think, realistically, since this is still the ESC-universe in a way, going out can be hard because they'll be recognized. But, I think when they're together, they do try to have at least one night out because they're both fairly sociable, but definitely ensure that they have at least one night in together. (And not just for the bedroom... though that's certainly involved.)

But it's trying to soak up what domesticity and privacy they can, cherishing those quiet moments together. Cementing their relationship in new, wonderful ways.

11. What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

So this is an AU with a playlist, but that playlist is just the most unhinged music possible. Despite that, there are bangers so I'll share a few different flavors of their relationship:

This one is self-explanatory:

so is this one:

and a sweet one:

Looking at these, I think what makes them so funny to write is the absolute emotional whiplash of insane balls-to-the-wall almost parody-level sex they have combined with the utterly sincere and earnest romance.

18. What does a date night out look like for them?

When they have a moment to visit one another, I like to think they either go to a cabin in Finland or Bojan takes Jere somewhere camping and scenic. They both love the outdoors, so that - combined with privacy - is an easy choice.

Lots of basking in the sun and stars and laying by the water.

24. What are their favorite places to kiss on their partner(s)? What are their favorite types of kisses?

Everywhere. There is nowhere Bojan won't put his mouth for better or worse. Man shoved his whole head into a chest cavity and kissed Jere's beating heart. If that's not romance, I don't know what is.

Jere kisses Bojan all over as well, but he's noticed he responds particularly well to his neck, the crook of his elbow, the inside of his thighs.

When they're not being saucy though, just little pecks on the cheek, on the lips. Always coming up behind the other one, leaning in with a silly shimmy, going 'smack!' with their lips, and then giggling and bouncing away.

28. What’s something that reminds them of their partner(s)? Do they have anything on them daily as a reminder (a photo, phone background, tattoo, clothing/accessory, etc)?

Due to the distance, and being in the ESC-adjacent monster universe, I think they'd have to keep things low key. So no phone backgrounds or something people could easily spot. But, deeeefinitely lots of stolen clothes, especially from Bojan's end.

He has a hoodie that he particularly loves and can't bring himself to wash.

Jere keeps a polaroid of Bojan from the Nordic Tour :) I like to think they had some yet-untold adventure during that tour in this AU :)

Also re-reading some of the fic now and cackling because I'm so happy you all enjoyed our sopping wet pathetic version of Bojan who had bangers such as:

And then Bojan careens the metaphorical car off a bridge because he keeps speaking. 

“Whether that means being a 24/7 toy for monster cock or spending the rest of my life in complete abstinence with you, I’d take it all. Whatever you want.”

and

Jere answers quickly in the form of grabbing Bojan’s hand and slotting them together.

There’s a definitively wet sound to it that surprises him though, and Jere does a poor job of hiding his comically horrified expression.

“Sorry… I’m kind of nervous right now.” Bojan says.

Bojan’s hand is slick with sweat. A veritable slip-and-slide of nerves bodily represented. To think that this man — actor, songwriter — who’s been assigned a national heartthrob by the media gets nervous holding hands.

who are your top 3 tolkien comfort characters?

this is top 1 difficult question 😅 I'll have to cheat just a liiiiittle bit!

Elrond (trop version) - he is such an absolute sweetheart, he's passionate, hopeful, persistent, emotional... Just so lovely altogether 💛 it's impossible not to love him!

Gandalf (ft. my fave gif of all time) - his whole message of hope and mercy is something that has, and always will guide me through life. He seriously has amazing mentor vibes (despite the occasional bitchiness 😂) and some of the most amazing quotes ❤️ we really only do have to decide what to do with the time that is given to us!!!

Sam/Frodo/Merry/Pippin/Bilbo - whichever of them you choose, the comforting message to me remains the same: even when you're small and scared and feel incompetent, you can do AMAZING things if you just dare, and the best thing of all - you don't have to do them alone! 🥰🥰🥰

3 again for the ask meme! I’d love to hear some other lines/scenes you’re proud of 💖

aw, thank you love! I'll give you a few.

can I say every time Bradley calls Jake sweetheart? because I drive myself insane with that. my favourite (strategically cut), from like, what up:

“Jake,” he says again, mouth a caress around the word. He nudges Jake’s jaw with his nose. “Don’t get shy on me now. Give me a kiss, sweetheart.”

I love writing little moments of softness amongst smut, so have this dialogue from the first chapter of IBLBM:

“Am I allowed to kiss you now?”

Warmth curls in Jake’s gut. He smirks. “You want to that bad, huh?”

To his credit, Bradley doesn’t look embarrassed. He just raises his eyebrows and grins at Jake, leaning back against the counter like he knows exactly how fucking good he looks. “About as bad as you want me to, yeah.”

and one more, from ch6 of IBLBM because I apparently love to hurt my own feelings:

Jake’s never told someone who isn’t his mom or his sister that he loves them, and it’s entirely because he hasn’t let anyone get close enough for it to even be a possibility.

Bradley got close enough. 

#honestly the way I write Bradley drives me a little insane like. that's my ideal man #like what up #imagine being loved by me #Sereshaw #Top Gun: Maverick #thank you for this ask!!! #sometimes I dislike my writing but thankfully most of the time I'm in a good place with it

i’m laughing so hard for your worst richard outfits post. the ”where is waldo” shirt-part got me in tears. bless you and your choice of words.

hmm let me ask. hottest rzk moments, top 5? can be something he did/does with his bandmates or something he’s done on stage. being wet in brussels isn’t an option here since we are all as wet as him that night.

I think I was a bit harsh in this post, I really love and cherish Richard, but I absolutely lost it at the combination of the emo hair and the Waldo shirt, that was too much for my poor heart (and eyes) 👀

My personal 5 hottest Richard moments, well. I instantly had some in mind, mostly general things he does, which either drive me absolutely insane or make me melt instantly. No particular order:

Fidgeting with his hands and rings during interviews, because I really love his hands. They're looking so strong and soft at the same time, and uughgh:

(gifs taken from this post)

Talking passionately about the things he loves. I'm a very enthusiastic person myself and I love seeing someone being passionate about topics as well, really working themselves into it and just geeking about it. I don't know, I just find enthusiasm and intelligence rather sexy:

His growling during the live versions of Du riechst so gut and Asche zu Asche. To quote myself, it absolutely makes my whole body combust into flames, it's just incredibly hot to me, here's an example from this year:

Certain movements in stage: Mostly the Leg™ and the chest punch™, it's so mesmerising to look at:

And now to something very specific: I absolutely love his solo in the live versions of Links 234. It's so, so hot to me, how he slowly works his way into it and it just sounds immensly powerful. Plus he looks absolutely intimidating (read: f- hot) while playing. As an example, my favourite version is the Velodrom gig in Berlin (2001).

Honourable mention Nr. 1, since @gloomy-blonde reminded me of it yesterday: His damn movements during Keine Lust in Rammstein in Paris. I mean what is this? Why do I find this hot? Questions to ponder while watching this endlessly:

(gif by staubzustaub)

Honorable mention Nr.2: His wonderful smile of course 💜

Anon made it hard for me to leave out wet!Richard, but I think I managed it quite well regardless 😌

(feel free to add your own favourite things if you have something in mind 🤗)

#it took a lot of time to reply to this ask because I needed AGES to find all the gifs #I delibaretly left out his smoking because he looks extremly hot while doing it but that's just unhealthy #ask #thank you for this ask!!! #love answering these #richard kruspe #rzk #rammstein #currently sipping on my aperol spritz celebrating today's events surrounding till and having my best time creating this post tbh

Personal notebook:

[Abel's mind is very difficult to penetrate. This man has built so many fences, protecting his identity. Even when it feels like he's making his last stand, another test is still leaving him impenetrable. He keeps denying that he and the Chesapeake Ripper are one and the same. And, indeed, supporting that and counter to criminal evidence, so far his mind hasn't given into this idea. This man is strong. But you can't hide forever. I know YOU are the Chesapeake Ripper and I'll prove it.]

4 and / or 29 for meredith roswell since you did a look book for her. ty

AN ASK ABOUT MEREDITH ROSWELL?! I'm floored, stunned even, and very excited haha!!

4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?

Meredith had a lovely, comfortable childhood. She grew up in Oasis Springs as an only child in a very wealthy family. She was her parent's pride and joy, she loved them and they loved her. Her father was especially protective and endeared by her, and she absolutely glowed in the light of their adoration and praise. Her parents were strict when it came to proper manners, outward appearances, etc... but but she was okay with that because they were lenient in all other areas. As long as Meredith stayed out of trouble and behaved like a "proper lady," they gave her their full trust and she was never really denied anything she wanted. She trusted their guidance, perhaps even to a fault, because the life they provided for her was basically perfect... she figured they must know best.

29. What is your character’s weaknesses? Hubris? Pride? Controlling?

A combination of pride and being far too permissive (she would say that her weakness is that she is weak/spineless). She doesn't like confrontation and she generally cares about what other people think of her, so she wouldn't think of doing anything that would make her look less than a poised, perfect, put-together housewife... even if that means sacrificing her true desires, among other things. She has basically been trained to believe that material comforts and effectively maintaining the status quo = success and that her sacrifices will ultimately be rewarded. 😕

Prompt here - ask me about my OCs!

#I stand by the belief that Meredith is not a bad person. She's really quite complex and aware of her privilege #but that comfort is all she knows so she just... suffers. Quietly and with a smile. She doesn't rock the boat even when she knows - #that is the right thing to do 😔 #Thank you for this ask!!! #strangerville outtakes #meredith roswell #atfs ask #anon

I have a deanjohn ask! Any further thoughts on All-Kinds-of-Fur Dean? I read the story (well, all of them) and now I'm thinking about how Dean's entire life can be see as sort of a patchwork made of All-Kinds-of-John and the parallel is weird and fascinating

oh man! i did post some thoughts last night that idk if you saw, but i think they kind of sum up my my answer to this ask. but i do love your thought that his whole life has been an all-kinds-of-fur situation. perpetually being asked to do something that goes against his very core and having to figure out a way out of it.

i think if i were to have some more general folklore thoughts, i'd just bring up "the girl without hands" again, which you can read here if you want. the daughter in that is incredibly self-sacrificial for her father, and actually ends up leaving her father and her home after the transgression she subjects herself to at his hands. that feels more like dean to me in ways!

but then it's like...all-furs dean is also just....ahhhh! there's a reason i made that my url my now-defunct sideblog. something about fathers who carnally desire their daughters because they remind them of their dead wives. makes me crazy!!!!!!

#deanjohn #thank you for this ask!!! #please feel free to share any more of your own thoughts on this with me <3

What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

I will cheat slightly here because I just answered this, and it’s not exactly "the best introduction", but rather what work I think it was "the best overall":

Bury it and raise above

This fic holds a piece of my soul and sometimes I hope it shows.

#bury it has so many themes that are dear to me #sigh #thank you for this ask!!!
