Time In A Bottle: Reflections!

Hi!!!! As you all know I just finished this series and I wanna talk about it!!!

Inspiration

So for a while I was at the peak of pet sitting back in summer 2021 and more in 2018/19 and I saw a lot of @amandasmurfee and her bakushin art which made me kind of deep dive into their potential dynamic and how I really love Shinsou and Bakugou as separate characters, platonic and romantic eventually 😅 but while I was pet sitting it made me think of the bnha characters not in their usual roles. And I really clung to the idea of Shinsou loving cats which lead to me thinking about Bakugou being more of a dog person. I had been debating about working with a friend instead of a major business and that’s how that kinda worked!

I had also wanted to potentially meet someone that way and I thought it was super cute! 🙈

Process

This was a long work for me and my longest so far!! I had wanted to spend a lot of time on this and I think I did. I got inspiration for my process from seeing some of my favorite writers and their formatting like @rinslutz @tsukina @animatedrapture and many others!! I know my first one wasn’t as thought out as this so I made sure to brainstorm the different arcs and characters and their growth.

Characterization

One of my biggest fears as a writer is getting the characters wrong. I’m always hesitant with my main characters and even more so the side characters. My love of getting things right and these characters makes me super anxious and nervous so after y’all read this please let me know y’all’s thoughts!! I also never wanted a true villain or bad guy because life is more complicated than that. Although what Kirishima did was wrong he had good intentions despite what happened and seeing the truth is what’s important. And same with Bakugou not wanting to share his past. In the second part I wanted to focus more on Bakugou and his issues than I did in the first part which seems more along the lines of him as well. And the new friends, it was part of the story to have them join later as signs of readers growth from being closed off from the world to opening up as she did with her relarionship

Relationship dynamics

I really wanted to explore the poly dynamics while still keeping everyone in character. As someone who is exploring this within myself, I wanted the discovery of having more than one lover to be genuine and blossom on its own. I did wanna spend more time exploring Bakugou and Shinsou and I’m upset that I didn’t 😩 but I could do something about them later!! It was harder having them start from scratch cause I normally do the “they were in each other’s lives before” and they’re not so I enjoyed having them not meet in chapter one!! Im happy that I had them meet later and how it grew from there so that was very nice!

I’d love to do a q&a as the characters in the story if that’s something y’all are interested in!! It would be super super fun!

Fic Wrap Up.

*feel free to ignore this if I tagged you

This is going to be my own fic wrap up, my first one ever because this was the birth of my Ao3 account, so all of my fics are from this year. I’ll try to keep things concise, but it’ll still be pretty long. I will do this in the form of a Read More after the first few fics. There are over 90, I’ll try to go alphabetically.

All of them are from the same fandom, BnHA, so that’s nice. More gen fics, less romance. Most of them are for series, events, other people’s aus - and I’ll make sure to share all of that when I share each fic, especially because some of the events are probably repeats and this is a little bit like free marketing [only tagging them once because that would get obnoxious, especially for the weekly event things I did]. Other than that, I hope you all enjoy and may 2021 suck slightly less.

New Year’s Resolution : Write more Quality, not Quantity. More DadMight, maybe post some of my other longer stories. Don’t make every request something to post.
