omg hello! your brain is truly so big for this idea… george coaching logan lives rent free in my mind at all times and their minimal interactions bring me life fr 🥺🥺 now.. very important question.. WHO adopted logan first? alex as his current teammate or george as his long-time mentor? i also have this insane image in my mind of george making a powerpoint titled “7 step plan on how to win oscar’s heart / why he’s definitely in love with you don’t be stupid / we need to talk about your (lack) or self esteem” . yea there are three topics but alex has sighed deeply and provided snacks to keep them going. and also the idea of carlando adopting oscar?? it’s a very strange dynamic bc lando is so excitable he’s def not a parent figure and oscar and carlos are still squinting suspiciously at each others for sure. maybe the three of them are using their combined 8 brain cells to come up with a game plan for wooing logan? and they’re just sitting their arguing over flower symbolism and lando and carlos genuinely almost break up over how worked up they both get. i know this ask got out of control but bestie.. your mind is so large and i am obsessedddd w this idea

Hello! Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that the ideas my brain makes up in the middle of the night are appreciated!🥰

To answer your question, Alex adopted Logan first. I see George keeping his distance, close but still professional. Alex, as both an eldest sibling and having gone through 2021, is very sympathetic to Logan. He sees the spiraling, he understands being alone as your parents are dealing with their own issues, and he knows what it feels like to be left behind while the friends you joined F1 with go on ahead. When Logan stops answering his texts and James brings up his worries, Alex is at Logan’s door telling him to pack up and come over to his place. George starts off in a “I’m here to help but mainly because Alex wants to do this and I love Alex” and quickly becomes “i am onboard with helping you, here is a list of therapists I have complied, please pick one.”

George is absolutely making PowerPoints. It starts off with “No one on the grid or your team hates you + with proof from the group chat” to “Your lack of self-esteem is alarming and we are all a bit worried” before becoming “Oscar is in love with you + photographic evidence.” George’s love language is PowerPoints. When he was getting Alex that Williams seat, I imagined him cornering people with a laptop in hand and a PowerPoint titled “Alex Albon’s Achievements: Why he is a perfect fit for Williams”. Alex is ordering take out and providing commentary on the slides, and questioning where certain photos came from.

I see Carlando adopting Oscar not in a parental way, but more in a “I have more life experience so let me tell you why ghosting your friend and crush is a bad idea”. They absolutely brainstorm ways to woo Logan but they keep failing because Logan thinks Oscar is doing this to apologize for not talking to him for a month/forgetting his birthday and Oscar is slowly going insane because nothing works and in every interaction Logan looks sadder and sadder. Carlos and Lando are definitely getting worked up because it was never this hard when they got together .

Your idea with the flower language is genius, can I write that in the fic? I am thinking of a scene like

“No, Lando we cannot put yellow roses in the arrangement. They mean decrease of love, that’s an awful flower to include.”

“How about orange lilies? There aren’t exactly a ton of papaya or orange flowers to choose from.”

“No! Orange lilies mean hatred. We should be starting simple like pink roses and baby breaths.”

“Those options are basic. They don’t have personality to them. It looks like Oscar just went to a supermarket and picked it up. How is anyone supposed to feel special receiving a standard supermarket bouquet?”

“I wouldn’t know Lando. You never got me flowers before so I don’t know how I would feel receiving a supermarket bouquet?”

This ask was super fun to answer! Thank you so much for sending it❤️ I am also obsessed with it and am drafting outlines to write it. Please feel free to send more asks. I really love answering them.

I don't remember the exact quote but Jyn and Cassian's hug when they reunite on the Death Star post Cassian's torture in falling sinking lives rent free in my brain for that ask game

MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THAT FIC,,,,IF I'M HONEST,,,,i'm so glad it sticks for folks

“You could have left them,” says K. “Or used them as a distraction to escape. I would have let them be captured. It would be easier.” “I,” she says, and then stops, because through the tangle of Bodhi and Leia and Skywalker there’s movement, a shifting. Cassian. The look on his face is a shipwreck, fire and torn metal and wires spitting sparks. He doesn’t say anything. She’s not quite sure he’s even breathing. He’s just watching her, lips parted like he’s seen a ghost, and her knees nearly go out from under her with the relief, that he’s alive and leaning and staring. He’s stolen a uniform, too, one of the sharp black masks of the bodyguards, and it’s closing her throat up, the adrenalin, the déjà vu. She thinks she might say his name, but no sound comes out her mouth. There’s something terrifyingly naked about the way he’s looking at her as he pushes away from the wall, sways on his feet. Alive, she thinks. Alive. It’s a sick kind of rewind, but she doesn’t care. No one’s paying attention. She’s not sure it’d stop her if the whole Imperial fleet was staring, no matter how new it is, no matter what weakness it shows. Jyn slips between them, Bodhi and Leia and Skywalker. She just means to get closer, to talk to him, to prop him up if she can, but when she gets close enough he draws her to him, arm around her ribs, curling up her back, winding her into a grip like a vice, chest to chest. Oh, she thinks, this is what it must have been like for Mama, on Lah'mu,and then her mind goes blank from the warmth. He’s almost shaking, and his fingers are icy on her shoulder, her waist. Her hat’s come off, he’s dragged her so close. Jyn wriggles her good arm out of the tangle, works it around him, presses hard enough to bruise. Open wounds and bleeding vulnerabilities. She’s on her toes and leaning into him and Cassian fists his hand in her stolen uniform and drags in air like he hasn’t breathed in years. And this—this is what she’s wanted. This is what she’s wanted since she woke up in sickbay to find him watching her. This is the one thing she's wanted from him that she's never once wanted from anybody else, not like this, not closeness and warmth like this. His hair’s sour with sweat and smoke and blood, and the collar of the uniform smells like someone else, but the rest of it is Cassian. You’re all right. It crawls into her mouth. You’re all right, you’re all right. Jyn shuts her eyes, tries not to let them burn. You’re all right. “You’re okay?” says Cassian, very soft, right into her ear, and she’s nodding even though it’s a lie. He has to know it’s a lie. Still, his head slips, and suddenly there’s his hand against the nape of her neck, his nose at her throat. He doesn’t say it again, not aloud, but she can feel it against her collar, lips and nose and the brush of his beard. Mouthing it. You’re okay. His hair tickles at her mouth.

thank you for this ask game by alexs-prompts-folder!

Anonymously - or not - tell me what passage, fic, line of narration, or anything you remember me by as a writer.

(thanks to @mostlymaudlin for the template!) pls forgive my scrawl!!

i read soooo many good fics this year so to narrow it down i have limited myself to a) fics that were written in 2023 (i think) and b) F1 fics. i could’ve done a whole directory for each category tbh, and i’m sure i’ve forgotten something really obvious, but these were the ones that came to mind first. links and my commentary under the cut!

1. fic that made me laugh: adagio by debrief (lando/oscar, ballet AU. debrief is sooo good at these gorgeous, funny landoscar AUs, and the lando in this fic is so effervescent, camp and ridiculous. so many great laugh out loud bits.)

2. fic that made me cry: ode to a conversation stuck in your throat by prettyrotten @prettydangrotten (alex/george, miscommunication at its finest. so much incredible, layered emotion in this one, a real masterclass in how to use sex scenes to portray emotions instead of dialogue too.)

3. fic that gave me a story hangover: the fire is slowly dying by peachbellinis @strawberry-daiquiris (mark/oscar, oughhhh. never heard the term story hangover before today but that’s exactly what this fic gave me. eyewateringly sexy, leans into the age gap and the generally rancid vibes, evil temptress oscar rights. i was fucking useless for the rest of the day after reading it because it’s so vividly drawn and claustrophobic in the best possible way. ate my brain.)

4. fic i want to discuss book club style: grand theft august by chelem @chelemlem (lando/oscar, gorgeous canon compliant slowburn. the fic that gave me the landoscar brain rot for real. i basically only started writing ‘monday’ because i adored this so much; it’s essentially a tribute act. so many glorious little details that i would love to pick apart at a forensic level.)

5. fic that got me a lil flustered: side by side in orbit by glasscushion @glasscushion (lando/oscar/max f, spiky weird vibes cuckolding threesome. also a strong contender for category 1 because the max dialogue is deadly precise and hilarious, but lando all fucked out and high off being watched?? does me in every time i even think about it. insane.)

6. fic by one of my fave authors: practice makes perfect by charlotte_stant @boxboxlewis (alex/george, first time/practising sex. as always, insanely good, sharp dialogue; so elegant at sentence level, no wasted words. funny, sad, sexy. whenever i read her fics i’m taking notes because there’s always something to learn.)

7. fic i reread more than once: break my rules by venerat (lando/oscar, mile high club with crafty bastard lando and out of his depth but loving it oscar. i’ve read most of venerat’s fics multiple times this year tbh, but this was another formative landoscar fic for me so i’ve singled it out here.)

8. fic i sent to everyone i know: trade offer by chelem @chelemlem (girl!lando/oscar rule 63, they can’t fuck for semi-spurious reasons. SWELTERINGLY hot. entire lines from this fic live rent free in my head. i’ve said this before but this is one of my top, if not my favourite ever, rule 63 fic.)

9. fic that made me fall in love with an author: recreate the sun by glasscushion @glasscushion (lando/oscar with background mark/oscar, stoned sex. oughhh. such a sleazy, sexy fic. i kind of came to landoscar via mark/oscar fics and this one was a bit of a gateway drug (sorry). grotty spiritual teenager lando my beloved, horny sloth stoner oscar my beloved, viscerally hot descriptions of stoned sex my beloved. makes me want to take an edible to get the full effect.)

so so many i didn’t have room to mention argh. i bookmarked 10 pages this year!!

hi blorbo what is your sexiest fic rec. i want the filthiest and horniest fic out there

I might not be the best person for this because I don't read a lot of a/b/o and that's where the goods are. I've heard good things about loveleclerc and virtuesverse by marmeladeskies, if that interests you!

I'm also not a pure PWP reader cause I like a little plot a little build up to really ease me into it. and I don't read a lot of the Big Ships so I'm sure I'm missing out on classics -- in fact, I probably haven't read the filthiest/horniest fic out there however!! let me look!!

greeny1710's kinktober is very good and convinced me of the Rico/Max agenda

established Kimi and Seb fuck Charles by rosyjuly!!! thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics in this

Redpaint's girl!lewis and jenson cheating on brittny!!! lives in my mind rent fucking free

the fucking OG dirtbag daniel by tetrapod!!!!! Daniel with a bit of power tripping teeth!!! And 10k of it

blue monday series by mondaycore, also the carlando mafia au by mondaycore however they don't want their work linked on tumblr so please look them up on ao3. one of my favourite writers -- not just f1. So fucking good. The carlando mafia au actually melted my brain.

Martian cockwarming -- Seb is in Toro Rosso, the age diff 😵‍💫

read everything by kaytheologie. I'm not kidding. but for deliciously fucked up I have to recc THE sebmick of all sebmick. "Please you look so much like him like when you're like this." HAUNTS ME

I've already recc'd by favourite brand of fucked up carlando here where lando wants to be treated like charles and lives to regret it

Carlos imagining what it would be like to fuck Lando

There's a lot of great Charles centric dead doves -- that I will Not be linking but if you look up Charles and dead dove: do not eat you'll have a selection!!!

poolside is one of those writers that I need to consume everything they've written. it's all so good.

here's a nico picking up charles that was completely fascinating to me

Charles is a priest!!! Ferrari Seb is a fuckboy who cheats on his wife!!! Charlotte_Stant is a god

really good seb gets punished for multi 21 by Christian and Mark. gemjam is one of those all time writers for me. big recc anything they touch, including the nico/jense/mark threesome or seb/Christian and they wrote it all in 2013

this is a part of a bigger fic by Colors-Of-Feeling!!! Mika gets seduced by Nico!!!!! the filth you're looking for

THE lily/alex/george threesome

mick wakes up a girl. seb has a mustache. do I need to say more?

this list is by no means comprehensive but I stand by all the writers so I suggest going through their acc/bookmarks. one of my favourite places is to camp in ao3 user ions 300+ public bookmarks cause I Know they'll be interesting

#fic rec #i had to retype this 4 times before I realized tumblr doesn't allow more than 10 direct links #this is woefully missing all the big ships BUT !!! snooping around other peoples bookmarks is the way to go #blorbocedes ask #happy clicking the links!#long post #f1 rpf

Ok so lore is happening now (highly inspired by @white-boy-bracket bc I love them and everything that's happening over there). This won't be on their level cause I don't have a plot or a mystery but I've already planned out too much to not share.

If you don't want to see lore just blacklist Affably Evil Lore

-----

So, Alex from S and D tier is the ultimate supervillian and their power is yes. They were contacted by a dragon and the over excitable elf he's possessing (Virid and Kitri, my OCs). Kitri had this fantastic idea to have a villain convention where evil people from thousands of alternate universes could meet, swap stories, network and-

"Fight to the death!"

"No, Alex." Virid interrupts. He had been against this plan, knowing Kitri is mostly immortal but not immortal enough to survive the reality-warper if things went poorly. "We could all easily figure out who could beat whom in a physical fight, and you would win."

"It would be far more interesting to win a different competition," Kitri speaks again. "A popularity contest where the voters all have traditional morality yet love us anyway." There's an odd wistful tone to his voice that Virid immediately stomps out.

"And the best part, it wouldn't be canon." Virid says, baiting the trap.

"It isn't canon? It's not canon?" Alex chokes out, sounding like he was just run over by a truck.

"But my elf had an idea so here it is anyway" Virid finishes. These lovesick fools, so easy. (Kitri silently ponders how unfair it is that you can't glare at someone who lives in your head)

----------

So Alex creates a neutral non-canon convention space and summons thousands of villains at random (each with a plus one)

There are Laws set in place. Not laws like don't murder, no one here would respect arbitrary rules. Like gravity rules 98.6% of realities, here the Laws are:

First Law of VillainCon is don't talk about VillainCon

Every one must return to the dimension they came from at the exact moment they left

Complaints will be settled with additional time in the ball pit.

It's Not Canon (except for the wizard, the wizard IS canon)

Death is not permanent.

--------

Other details:

Taako the wizard is here. (I've never listened to Adventure Zone but someone once paid one of the McElroy brother's to say "Vriska did nothing wrong" in his character's voice and that lives in my head rent free). So Taako has a booth and gives some contestants (like HAL9000 and Jevil) gold star pins that say they did nothing wrong. These pins are the only things that can materially change people's lives once they return to their universe and it grants them a wish (but Taako decides the wish)

Ex. One contestant had been pulled out of his world right after he died and his pin allows him to stay resurrected once he's sent back.

-------

Basically I was thinking about the Bibi/Claire round bc when I was setting up the match I thought "mwa ha ha no matter who wins I'll be happy >:3" and that was true but the flip side is no matter who loses I'm going to be devastated. And then a part of me whispered "if you were an artist you could draw Amy and Chane being emotional support" and another part of me was halfway through writing a fic where those 2 bonded and now its a whole thing.

The joke about VillainCon not being canon is that Alex is helplessly in love with their roommate Morgan and in non-canon content, Alex and Morgan have explicitly romantic interactions.

Please ask me questions about Kitri, most of the content I write will be about the contestants and their plus ones but Kitri is my boy and both he and the dragon soul that lives in his brain are Affably Evil.

Yes this is incredibly self indulgent, I'm not sorry.

I only have 3-4 things planned so far but if anyone has ideas come talk to me!!

Hi friend! I saved this ask for today because who doesn't need a serotonin boost on a Monday, right? 😘

So, here we go!

8. What I like the most about your writing I love that your writing is rather fast-paced and that you really know how to keep suspense high. Your writing throws the reader right into the story, enthralls you, and it doesn't let you go. I also love that you use a vivid or lively kind of language. (And since I mostly have to look up a few words, I get to extend my vocabulary that way 😊)

11. Something I wish/hope you write Let's jump to Night Moves, chapter 4, the scene with Walter in the shower, aka things that live rent-free in my head:

God, he wanted to show her how right she was. Wanted to see her lean back for him, hang her head off the side of a bed and stare up at him, waiting for him to put his cock deep down her throat.

Well, I want to see that, too 👀 So if you and the muse ever decide to elaborate on that, I'm so here for it, you know 😏

Also, I adore your latest Geralt piece travel the breadth of extremities and I hope we'll get to read more Geralt fics from you someday 😍

Maja. Friend. Fellow fic writer. Please, please forgive me for the delayed reply. I got this on Monday and I squealed with delight from all the serotonin and then I promptly ignored you while I posted Ch 6 of Walk with Me.

I hope you understand, and I think you do considering your reaction to the installment as well as your comment about the thing you like best about my writing and I really am so flattered that it comes off that way for you! I'm gonna put the rest under the cut because it got wordy!

Also, and this goes for anyone reading: never hesitate to ask about a missing reply. Tumblr IS notorious for eating asks.

As for Walter and Alex, well, I hope you understand why I had a hard time making that scene a reality given what she goes through. I felt like the pressure and intensity of that position would cause her some damage, especially because Walter is going to have a hard time going easy on her while he watches her tilt back and beg for him. He doesn't mean to hurt her, of course, but his animal instinct is gonna take over, like a switch is gonna flip, brain short-circuit, something, when he sees her shift around all on her own with no prompting from him. He'll remember the way he felt about her the first time he laid eyes on her and he will have no control, right? Right??? If I ever get an itch to revisit them down the road when she's healed up a little more and able to take him that way, you'll be the first to get a tag. PInky promise!

Geralt is a heady whisper of desire to me. He flits in and out of my consciousness at the oddest times. I only know him through TWN; never read the books or played the games, so the inspiration comes from the show, and of course, of-fucking-course, Henry himself. And it may be an unpopular opinion (I see various takes from the blogs I follow) but I'm also a Yenralt lover. I sometimes feel bad taking him away from her. We'll see if the second part of S3 (which is only 3 episodes long???) will wind it's way into any more passionate trysts with him. But I also fear when the end comes, I'll never find the same desire for LH's Geralt. Especially because I'm probably not watching it. Ugh.

Thank you again, Maja. Heart you!

I Highkey have Not been able to stop thinking about this post ever since i first saw it and in a bid to not undertake writing a wholeass fic for it here are some of said Thoughts™

so trans!Alex, young, pre-transition, over 18 but probably started college younger so olivia doesn't realize how young since they're in the same year (canon puts both cabot and benson as born in '68, but SMarch was born in '74 so cabot could be a yearish younger here, Whistler is probably sameish age as tori anderson who was born in '88 so for my purposes im gunna say oliva is 20 when)

her and alex have a one night stand

alex is kind of messed up about it bc gender feelings, p soon after ends up disappearing, takes time off from school, transitions, transfers to new school where no one knows her (we know she went to harvard law school but idr where she went to undergrad not that it matters let's say they met at a party)

and then olivia realizes she's pregnant, she already knows that she wants to be a detective but still hasn't begun to heal from the trauma of her conception or her mother's abuse, so she finds out she's pregnant and freaks out but feels like she can't have an abortion bc if her mom still had her how could she not have the kid just bc she wasn't ready, couldn't handle it, basically girl is still fucked up

so she doesn't attempt to locate alex, has the kid on the dl, gives it up for adoption and never looks back

fastfoward to when olivia meets alexandra cabot, she doesn't recognize her even tho she feels familiar in a way olivia can't put her finger on and alex isn't about to out herself even if she still thinks about that night often

they def dont figure it out til post alex gets back from witsec

whistler meanwhile is raised by parents who never tell her she's adopted, noah is their biological kid and the two of them look So Similar, choose your own angst as to whether she gets kicked out in hs (idk why i'm just so attached to her parents disowned her....it's terrible but it feels right) and it comes out then and noah is all like it doesn't matter You Are My Sister, or if she only finds out after noah dies and like he kept their parents from doing anything drastic bc he was the golden child but when he dies Then they disown her and it comes out so she loses literally everything all at once idky Kate brings out the angst in me

in canon alex ends up volunteering in prosecuting sex crimes in war torn areas and also eventually quits practicing law when an abusive husband gets acquitted and murders his wife in retaliation at which point she joins a secret underground organization that helps battered women disappear either of which I feel like can have her paths cross with the fbi

and idk this is where plot issues come in and ive stopped trying to think further bc again avoiding writing A Fic but like maybe alex gets setup by a navy officer or agent or someone high profile whose wife she helped smuggle away, so alex's blood gets found at a crime scene and when they run it Surprise Kate comes up in the system (idk how dna traces work rotflmao but if shes got dia security clearance she's probably in the system yea?) idk

maybe when benson and cabot meet whistler they just seem To Know but surely it can't be blah blah blah lmao again idk but eventually adult!kate gets a family that loves her and it's all very sweet

she really is like The perfect cabenson kid okay i just can't Can Not this lives rent free in my brain i also rly don't know why my brain went this route instead of like cute fluffy cabenson raises her except im lowkey obsessed with jamming plausible scenarios into canon and also kate for whatever reason rly does bring out my angst whore side

#kate whistler #long post #cabenson #it's been WEEKS and it's p rude of my brain to refuse to write it but also not cease thinking about it #ramblings #minecraft

yknow whats embarrassing,, i had a dream u posted another mini alexmis fic :/ why is my brain like this. these two dudes have lived in my mind rent free since 2018 (?), someone revoke my lesbian card LMAO

anyways, have any more headcanons? jqhsjw (about alexmis or any other characters u want!!)

- The two have a noticeable height difference! If Alex stands on his toes, he can rest his chin on top of Artemis’s head (Arty has no problem being short, nope, no problem at all... or so he says, anyways).

- Alex has a serious problem with hogging the bed- Artemis has woken up on the floor because of it. Artemis, meanwhile, steals all the blankets and covers.

- Artemis has stolen Alex’s hoodies before and will do so again, no question. Often, it happens when Alex is away on a mission, but once Alex actually discovers this, Arty does it more often. He doesn’t allow himself to wear comfy clothes a lot, but he makes an exception in this case.

- Pet names galore- ‘honey’, ‘dear’, etc. The two often have long conversations without using each others’ names at all.

- Many evenings are spent with the two of them binging shows like Hell’s Kitchen- reality tv or game shows that don’t require much thought to watch.

- Unfortunately, the two often have to comfort each other/calm each other down from nightmares. This leads to many sleepless, stressful nights as they both try to navigate how best to help the other. Artemis will wake up panicking and crying and it’s generally extremely stressful for all involved, but he can usually fall back asleep after a little while. Alex often wakes up from thrashing in his sleep, and while Artemis is good at calming him down, Alex never falls back asleep afterwards. He spends the night awake and watching, set on edge by his nightmares.

- After spending enough time around Alex, Artemis finds that he swears a lot more. Alex thinks it’s hilarious and does nothing but encourage it.

#i do think the dream thing is hilarious- also i do hope to have another minific out soon #it’s not related to the point blanc one tho #artemis fowl #artemis fowl ii #fowldom #alex rider #alexmis #asks #headcanons

This will probably change once I actually get around to reading more of your fics, but I absolutely adore "you bring a little color to the picture," it's so sweet, and I love the whole concept of them bonding over working on a banner together, and "your guy" still lives in my mind rent free 🥺 ❤

You bring a little bit of colour to the picture

I KNEW this fic would be your answer 😝

'Your guy' still lives in my brain rent free too! Probably the cutest line I've ever written.

This fic is totally Alex's fault, as her tags on a post about Reggie being an artist inspired the whole thing! I read her tags and was all 'whelp, guess i have to write that then!' and thus this fic was born! As a side note, shortly thereafter, Jeremy released his video for Dancing With Strangers (my absolute FAVOURITE song of his, it was my top Spotify track for the year for a reason) and the imagery in that brought this fic right back to my mind, as the visuals are very similar. Plus Jeremy Shada covered in paint is just, a very yummy image.

tag game: rent-free lines

the game: Make a list of some of the lines (or moments) from fics that live in your head rent-free and tag the authors, if you get tagged make a new post doing the same thing

tagged by the amazing @joyandthephantoms, disclaimers: 1. i'm sorry in advance for the fact that i'm definitely forgetting amazing lines. i love you guys. i'm just hopeless and my brain is a sieve. 2. i've tried to keep it to one quote per person otherwise this list would go on Forever 3. i absolutely cannot explain why it is These Lines. they're just the ones that come to my head unbidden when i am driving or doing the dishes

ANYWAY heres the fic lines that have been in my head rent-free this week:

"What're you thinking so hard about, angel?" Bobby asks quietly beside him. His voice is deep and gravely, still thick with sleep.' (and, from the same fic): '"Oh, precious," he sighs out and loops an arm around Reggie's middle to pull him even closer than they already are. "What's going on in that gorgeous head of yours?" -- from morning seems so far away by @sweetheartreggie

“Alex begs to be loved all the way up until it’s happening, then he usually breaks down about it.” -- from cross my heart that i'll always keep you by @arolou

"“You know that pretending your feelings don’t mean anything doesn’t make you a hero, right? It just makes you a different kind of asshole.”" from please don't hint that you're capable of lies by @joyandthephantoms

"Bobby’s dumb little heart jumps a beat out of habit. He mentally whacks it like a skipping CD player." -- from a constellation to stir my heart by @weneedglitter

“"No, I mean. I like like you. Like, romantically. Apparently," He muttered the last word under his breath, making Alex hit him over the head. "Ow! "” -- from bright red daffodils by @malecacidd

"“Gotta call it goodnight, Jules,” he says softly, adjusting her pillow." -- from love like a storm by @julies-butterflies

"“You’re trustworthy though,” Luke says, all big eyes and shit, Bobby’s not going to cry." -- from how not to get a pet: the bobby wilson edition by @silent-silver-slip

"It feels like betrayal, but the flames of his parents’ fury are still licking at his heels, and as willing as he’d be to throw himself into the fire, Bobby has been burned enough. Alex knows he’d walk burning coals for the three of them, but he’d never dream of asking him to prove it." -- from he killed it with kisses and from it he fled by @a-tomb-with-a-view

“If we wanted an overbearing mom, bro, we would have stayed with ours.” Bobby feels tears spring into his eyes, but he blinks them back because Bobby Wilson does not cry. “Then why don’t you go back to her?” -- from tiny symphonies by @wr0temyway0ut

"This is something else she’s learned about him. Bobby wants so badly to be touched, so badly to be cared for, so badly to be loved. But it must be given freely to him. Because he’ll never ask." -- from build a new silhouette in the skylines up ahead by @chickwiththepurpleguitar

Hanahaki au is my fav au, like how could something be so beautiful and sad at the same time?! TT And your hanahaki Mark was my second favourite... I love how the other dreamies try to make Mark realise that he loves mc and how Mark suddenly realise that he loves mc after watching her sleep TT

ALSO HANAHAKI JAEHYUN ENDING IS SO SAD TT but I think he kind of deserves it but if he realise it sooner maybe he would stood a chance. And the part about soulmate made me think, like the soulmate bond do feel kind of forced because they don't have a choice on falling in love. All this time I thought that soulmates are nice because it's like the universe is watching over us but you show me another point of view.

AND DOCTOR JAEHYUN? TT I could imagine how gentle he be with kids and he must be their fav doctor.

Also I'm excited for your collab with ppangjae (I actually found your blog from here). Waiting for it patiently👀

^ me every single time a hanahaki idea pops up in my head. it’s both my favorite thing and least favorite thing to write because how do you explain pain and longing in a way you haven’t before? it’s definitely a challenge!

the dreamies and mark’s realization were my fave things to write in that fic because i had never really written such a strong friend group like that before. so i wanted to emphasize how they help in situations like that! and with mark? yo, falling in love and realizing it isn’t always sunshine and butterflies. sometimes it’s staring at a person drooling while they sleep and still carrying that fondness for them. the little things <3

LMAO FUCK BUTTERCUP JAEHYUN! i love soulmate au’s but i also know there are many who thought/think they way jaehyun did. and i understood it enough to the point where i wanted to put it into words! buttercup was a fun write hehehe.

🗣DR. J LIVES IN MY BRAIN RENT FREE! THAT IS ALL!

oho you found me through alex. taste. that’s my best friend. she a real bad bitch. thank you for anticipating our fic! it’ll take us a while but we’re getting there!!

as with everything else in life, I’m late to making this post. I tend to make one around Jan 1st every year, but it’s now a few days after that, and all i can say for myself is that time is non-consequential during a pandemic, right? right.

anywho, this is my usual “thank you for keeping me going this year” post, but with even more fervor. 2020 would not have been nearly as tolerable without you all in it. and when i say all i really do mean all. thank you to anyone who follows me here or has read and supported my work on AO3 or has sent me a message or an ask or even just likes my posts. you can never know how many people’s hearts you’ve touched, lives you’ve made better, but i’m telling you now: you made me smile and laugh and feel love in a year that could have easily stolen all that. thank you for sticking around.

a few more specific shoutouts are under the cut to keep from flooding your dashes. i hope you’re all having a wonderful start to the new year.

much love, mari

to @anniemurphys: ria, i cannot thank you enough, for so many things. you played such a vital role in turning this year around for me. your friendship, and the friendships you’ve helped me make through book club, kept me smiling from week to week. i never wanted to leave our meetings, no matter how long they’d already gone. I could listen to your literary analyses and life advice for days on end. you’re such a kind, patient, loving person, and I’m so lucky to have you in my life. here’s to another year of freaking out over taylor swift albums and the power inherent in voluntarily turning oneself into vegetation.

to @bigdsgirl: heidi, you’re one of the sweetest, most hard-working people i know. you amaze me, and you graciously humor my latest hyper fixations—somehow always knowing, always reblogging content related to what i’m obsessing over at the moment. you give such great advice and have such a calming presence that i love being in chats and on calls with you. i cannot wait for more zoom movie nights in 2021.

to @hellodinoflower: raptor, you’ve supported me for so many years now, and whenever i feel down about my writing i’ll go back through the comments on some of my old fics and yours always make me tear up. you’re so thoughtful and kind and excited about my work that i cannot help but be the same. i hope you enjoyed the little dino reference in pride & publishing—i tried my best, i really did—and i hope you’re doing well. sending you so much love.

to @soyforramen: soy, i promise i’ll get to your head canon asks some day. i promise i haven’t forgotten them; i’m just uncreative and uninspired, but what else is new. you, however, are brilliant and kind and thoughtful, and your guidance in making both life and fic-writing decisions has been so important to me this year. wishing you so much luck with school this year, and even more happiness.

to @ithoughtyoulikedmereckless: rach, where to even begin? you’re the person i talk to when i’m feeling happy or sad or annoyed or angry or pretty much anything, really. our FaceTime convos are my favourite, no matter what time of day we have them at (somehow, the ones at 10pm are just as crazy as the ones at 3am, and i don’t really understand how or why, but i love that for us). i’ve learned so much about myself through my conversations with you, and you keep me level headed when i start doubting myself too much. you understand me on such an amazing level and i’m so lucky that you reached out to me so many years ago. i’m so lucky that we just happened to find each other on here and just so happened to move near each other this year. i still cannot believe i get to see you in person and go on walks in the woods with you. you’re such a talented photographer, writer, painter, baker, and all around artist; an incredibly kind and funny person; and i aspire to be you. i’m rambling now, but just know that i love you.

to @catthecoder: lav, my light, my love. seeing your icon and username on my dash makes me smile so hard. you just give off the best vibes and chatting with you always leaves me feeling like i’ve been basking in the sunlight for the past few hours. we need to make a resolution to sprint with each other more often this year, even if 2021 is going to be as hectic as ever, as i find so much joy in reading your snippets as we go along. you’re such a wonderful writer, and i often read your gift to me from years ago for inspiration and comfort. i hope you’re doing well and am sending so much love.

to @stirringsofconsciousness: stirrings!! i know you’ve had a super busy year, but you still made time to chat with me and i’ll be forever grateful. i often think about the advice you’ve left for me and the thoughtful responses you’ve given to my personal posts and find so much inspiration in your own words and actions. i also still cannot get over the time when you sent me a post of artful vases because you thought of me when you saw them. mortifying ordeal of being known who? anyways lol, i just wanted to thank you for being in my life and wish you a happy 2021.

to @heavy-lies-the-crown: alex, i just wanted to thank you for putting your time and energy towards answering my incessant questions this year. you’ve been an inspiration to me as a writer ever since i first found your work, but you’re also an inspiration to me as a person, and i’m always thinking about the advice you’ve given me. i hope you had a wonderful end to 2020, and that 2021 brings you even more joy than seeing your posts on my dash brings me. much love.

to @stonerbughead: maria, you brought so much happiness to my 2020. your support for my work took my breath away every time, and I swear I nearly cried when I saw your latest comments on pride and publishing. you put so much time and energy into this fandom, and into supporting the people in it, and I hope you know that it doesn’t go unnoticed. we all love you, and we’re so lucky to have you; your fics are brilliant, your podcast highlights are a joy to read, and your disdain for ras is hilarious. thank you for being you. sending lots of love.

to @sullypants: sully, it’s been years and i still marvel at how lucky i am to know you. you’ve taught me so much, from how to be more thoughtful to how to navigate therapy and self-love to how to be a kinder person in the world. you introduced me to ask polly and you send me really nice asks and you’re one of like four people who interacts with my posts on a consistent basis, which makes me feel a little less alone in the world, if that makes any sense. i’m going to stop myself from rambling on or else i might cry, but i just wanted to thank you for—here comes the cliche—changing my life (doesn’t everyone we meet change our lives, in some way or another? but you’ve changed mine considerably, and for the better). sending you so much love (in the form of both yellow and blue heart emojis)

to @justcourbeau: mel, our paths cross less frequently now than they used to, but that doesn’t mean i don’t think about you and the conversations we’ve had, or smile when i come across your posts on my dash, or when i happen to open up instagram once in a blue moon and see you’ve posted on your story. please never stop sending me sparknotes memes—especially cask of amontillado ones. your words of advice from the night i called you, distraught, a few years ago live in my brain rent free, and i will continue to carry them into 2021 with me. i hope 2021 treats you well, and that you achieve all you want and more. sending you an immense amount of love.

to @protectorofthesmoll: your string of comments on pride and publishing made me cry multiple times, i swear. i still read them back every so often, when i’m trying to muster the courage to start up on the new chapter. your support means so much to me, and it amazes me how far back it goes: I’m pretty sure I have at least two asks of yours sitting in my inbox, from back in 2018 when I had barely any followers or supporters, both of them writing prompts that I never filled. i promise i’ll get to them one day. anywho, i just wanted to thank you for your support this year, and every year before that. wishing you so much love and happiness in 2021.

to @panalegs27: 2020 was the year of figuring out that we have so much in common: a hatred of dating apps, confusion over tumblr’s obsession with the raven cycle, and an attraction to logan lerman with gray hair. thank you for chatting about all of these things, and more, with me; seeing that you’ve sent me a post always makes me smile, and our conversations make me laugh. wishing you even more love and laughter in 2021.

to @indiebughead: maria, it’s been so lovely getting to know you more over the course of this year. i love listening to your stories and living vicariously through you, lol. (i want updates on new neighbor boy, asap!) thank you for listening to my petty rants and for encouraging me to make bad decisions and be salty on main when i want to be. i couldn’t have asked for a more supportive conspirer ;) sending lots of love.

to @redundantoxymorons: iz, you’re one of the smartest, most eloquent, most supportive people i know. i know 2021 will be both stressful and exciting in many ways, and i wish you all the best. i know you’re going to thrive wherever you end up, and i’ll cheer you on as you navigate this new world, just as you’ve done for me all these years. i’m so lucky to have you as a friend, supporter, and beta, and all of our conversations bring me so much joy. pls continue to gush about taylor swift and rec books and send uquizzes with results that make me feel Known in 2021. i love you very much <3

to @cracklr: leda, i’ve missed your passive aggressive smiley faces, but your gushing insta comment more than made up for that, i promise :) sending you so much love and happiness in this new year <3

to @dottie-wan-kenobi: dottie, the posts we send each other make me so upset, but in a good way—the “if i just had to see this nasty shit then so do you” kind of way—and i love that about our relationship. who else would understand how disgustingly hilarious something is other than my wife? no one, that’s who. i often think about how you were the first friend i made in fandom, and i’ll be forever grateful for that: i couldn’t have found a better person. i love you so much, and am sending you all my love.

this list of shoutouts is really much shorter than it should be, but my brain is currently friend and i cannot seem to think properly anymore. therefore, i’m going to call it a day and reiterate my above statements that I love you all, and I hope you have a fucking amazing 2021.

#i can't find my 2019 one of these so i've decided i need to start tagging them with something so i can read them back #so for posterity:#end of the year appresh #anywho #none of this is edited or read over #so if it's embarrassingly cheesy or there are typos... welp

Drumroll please~!

🥁🥁🥁

ITS FRIDAY!! :D

Have you ever gotten a comment on one of your fics that made you laugh out loud? What was it?

I love my commenters, especially the serial commenters! Totally going to cheat on your ask by including all the comments that have made me laugh, but I doubt you'll mind! I don't always remember which ones literally made me laugh out loud, but if any of these didn't, they made me smile a whole dang lot. Ironically, I found out that out of four comments, it was only two people...huh. Anyway, have at it!

[Barbllm: Elric Escorts] I really want fanart of the Armstrong Building with Major Armstring's muscular chest somewhere on it (front door design?).

[Me] YES. ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG'S PECS ARE THE DOORKNOBS. I'll see myself out. I'm a horrible person. I just struggled so much with clever building names because of the nature of the setting I chose and then I realized the Armstrong family is absolutely filthy rich enough to donate enough money to a college to have a building named after them.

The only other problem was that I envisioned normal glass doors that you can actually see a person through from several yards away rip. Well, the only other problem besides the fact that Olivier would nix our combined idea on the spot.

[Barbllm] Pecs as doorknobs would be hilarious!

[Barbllm: Elric Escorts] (a two-part comment)

"So many brain cells. You have so many brain cells. I know you can find a few working ones."

You owe me a new keyboard. Coffee is hard to clean up.

I've managed to spill a lot of things on my keyboard, but that line literally made me laugh loud enough to startle my cat and wake my dog.

[@edisacornball/AdventureAddict: Kitten]

Pffffft poor Al, being subjected to Ling's unholy imagination. The precious cinnamon roll doesn't deserve that.

Also Al being like "I'm not a virgin! I've kissed a girl!!! O////O" Just... *cracks up* That was the cutest. Babey.

[@edisacornball/AdventureAddict: Golden Eyes and Golden Drinks]

Ack, I read and kudos'd and bookmarked this but never commented? What a crime. I have to immediately rectify this.

This was really cute and I enjoyed it an awful lot. They're just... both so in character. And the ADHD rep. The. ADHD. Rep. hekkin hekkin hekk hekk yes. This oneshot just lives in my mind rent free now. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it.

Love you, @hopebunnywrites! Wonderful ask!
