[First, I was rereading "Agua Caliente" and I remembered a song that played a lot in my childhood (and I had kind of forgotten) bc the lyrics somehow matched the Patrochilles dynamic in this fic. This is kind of funny bc I would never in my life associate sertanejo (it's a type of country music, I think? Idk I've never heard country, but the aesthetic is kind of similar. Anyway, it's pretty popular here) with shipping an ancient Greek couple in modern AU, but ok. And I went to listen to this song again and now I'm listening to it on a loop, so thanks for that.]

Now the real question! It's perhaps a strange question, but do you plan what you write? Like, before you write, do you have the whole structured idea in mind? I could have sworn it was like that reading the fics, but then some notes on Ao3 and certain things you say on Tumblr started to make me reflect that maybe you don't plan as much as I thought… in that case, how do you manage to connect everything so well without looking like something was left out/without prior planning??? It's magic, technique, luck or actually do you plan?

Sorry if the question is a bit "???" but I'm REALLY thinking about this! I used to write fics years ago and I was in the "won't plan" group and as expected the fics came out obviously unplanned (but that was ok with me bc it was just to pass the time and I didn't expect it to be an engaging story or anything), and here's why this ask exists: it's precisely bc I was in the “won't plan” group that I'm really intrigued by the possibility of you NOT planning bc it just doesn't seem that way reading your fics...

The short answer is that I do plan what I write, but probably not enough.

I rarely start writing a fic with an entire idea. Often it's just a vibe. But I won't start posting a fic until I know exactly what the conflict is and how it will be resolved.

This was easy in ATG, for example, because I'd already written the resolution before I even decided to write the fic. Structuring it by Patroclus's age also helped, because I could make an outline with the stuff that needed to happen and then jam stuff I wanted to happen around it. That "Stuff" could be really specific--obviously Pat had to graduate school and Achilles had to go to the Olympics on specific years, and it was also like, this section should have them fighting. This section should have them getting along, but Achilles is hiding this big lie so there should be a weird tension.

In Sunset, it took me longer to figure out the conflict/resolution. Sure, I knew that Achilles was going to cry on a Chicago street corner and get naked in Pat's kitchen, but why was he there? How did he get there? I had already written Achilles settling in to Pat's place and the scene where he gets into the lake before I decided on Aphrodite being the key to explain this whole thing. Then I knew Pat had to die. But a lot of the stuff that happened in the middle was sort of on a whim (particularly Achilles getting on the wrong L train-that was definitely just an impulse I had while finishing that chapter). Tecmessa's chapter was also a later addition, and a deeply self-indulgent one, hah.

Agua was the least planned of these three, and in some ways it was because the idea was a lot simpler. After three years, Achilles runs into Patroclus again and they reconcile in some way. I knew exactly how Patroclus would feel about the whole thing (relieved, guilty, upset, wounded, hopeful, upset about feeling hopeful). My original plan was just to set up Achilles in his shop and his new life doing his best and have him run into Patroclus at the beach, and eventually they'd go to the desert. I wrote parts of their meeting first, and then I started writing the beginning and ended up scrapping most of that. I realized I was going to have to do a lot more writing for poor Achilles. My lack of planning here did cause some difficulties--I had like three versions of that date he went on with Pat with different endings. One involved Pat in the hospital, lmao. Zag and Meg coming to stay with Achilles were kind of whims, and I had meant to have Hypnos show up for "his turn" and have Achilles send him home because no, these were not team-building exercises, but then I forgot 😩.

The reason that I need to know the conflict/resolution at the start is because I do think all the scenes in a fic should relate to it in some way, either by building up the conflict or setting the groundwork for a resolution. Even for the impulsive scenes I add just for fun, I think about how they can do this. For example, Achilles getting lost on the L allowed me to build up Pat's unreasonable anxiety, show that Ajax was also feeling it to some extent, and end in Pat saying "fuck it" and just giving in to making out with his hot, ancient boyfriend. It was also something that happened to a friend who was visiting me from out of the country and didn't have a working cell phone. That moment of watching him through the window of the L as it slowly pulled away is just etched in my memory.

In Agua Caliente, almost anything could relate to the resolution, because the resolution was "Achilles having a life," thus it didn't require as much planning. Zagreus's apartment getting flooded (something that happened to me in grad school) showed Achilles attempting to be flexible with some success while allowing himself to become closer to Zagreus, which led to a point of connection with his kids. It also made it easier to explain why Achilles was doing Zag's delivery that day when he ran into Pat. There were only a couple things that truly needed to happen in AC for the fic to make sense, and that was a resolution with Achilles' kids and then with Patroclus, of course.

I do get loose threads sometimes, side conflicts or things that didn't end up going anywhere, and those things tend to annoy me until I figure out a way to resolve them or make them otherwise relevant. Or I don't. Or sometimes I realize I need to add something/someone into the fic, and it would have been smoother if I'd added it in an earlier chapter so it didn't seem like a convenient thing I'd just thought of to solve a problem. That's always annoying to me. But whatever. It's fanfic. That's the risk of posting while you write.

#actually now that I'm thinking about the L thing #did Julia suggest it?#I think I talked to her a lot about this part of the fic #either way it was a late addition #also looked up sertanejo music and reddit recommended the song o soberano #I speak zero portuguese beyond obrigado #but it had 'sober' in the title which felt fitting #I also broke my own rule with WitD #I don't actually know exactly how I'll resolve this atm #though I woke up with some ideas #anyway this is rambly #I once drew a truly shitty diagram of my process #if you have more specific questions I can try to answer #def should have had coffee before writing this

sometimes you need to go back and listen to the music you liked when you were 13 because it's good for you. and no im not talking about like emo nostalgia in this case we have enough posts about that. im talking about dad rock. actually im just talking about barenaked ladies

#idk if i'd call barenaked ladies dad rock per se but every once in a while i'll hear a song and go MAN. I REMEMBER THAT #i had so many oc animatics in my head about this one....#anyway skrunk lore moment but i had a really intense bnl phase for like 8 months in early middle school which explains a lot about 13 y/o me #in a neutral way but like. yeah. anyway go listen to box set for me.#you don't have to listen to anything else even though i still have a great fondness for a lot of it bc it's one of those things where it's #so familiar to me that i don't even know if i think it's good or not. but box set goes hard and i'll stand by that #in the car and hello city and i'll be that girl and spider in my room AND CALL ME CALMLY and blame it on me and alternative girlfriend and #the flag and when i fall and the king of bedside manor and am i the only one.... ohgh #AND YES IT'S BASIC BUT IF I HAD $1000000 IS COZY. IT'S CUTE OK #OH and it's all been done for all your immortal/reincarnation ship needs. well. a certain vibe anyway #and alcohol. and OH MY GOD I FORGOT JANE. AND INTERMITTENTLY and break your heart.... waaaaaaa #man they have way way more albums than i thought they had #i can only really speak for gordon born on a pirate ship and maybe you should drive actually but. i like those #or i Did like them. havent relistened but even looking at the titles is making me giggly like... i forgot some of these #ALSO SHOEBOX IS A FRIENDS SONG?? WHUH?#or maybe it was used in friends? idk. no thoughts on friends but they did music for just the dumbest shit. ignore that for me please #ANYWAY. going to go listen to all of that now bc im having a moment. if you listen to it and don't like it um. don't think less of me lol <3

#i can't dwell too much on amy winehouse ever or i'll just lose it #to return to the topic of the back to black liner notes.... i know that album back-to-front but there were still a few lines here and there #that i could never decipher so to see the correct version #and also just to absorb the lyrics in a visual form #was so shattering like she was 22-23 writing these masterful vignettes of Love the Destroyer she had so much inside of her #really one of the great poets of our generation and i am not being hyperbolic #i invite the skeptical reader to read the lyrics to Wake Up Alone while listening and then Some Unholy War #BtB is one of the greatest albums of the decade. i remember vividly being in the car with my dad listening to the title track #and he said very calmly 'i believe this is the best song of the decade'#i was a huge fan at the time but i was like ah i don't see it #but NOW! NOW i see. now i see #she was born for art she was born for love she was born for so much more than what she got #and no one in her cohort holds a candle to her and there will never be another like her #UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we love you Amy.#amy

Song of the Day: February 23

“Inkpot Gods” by The Amazing Devil

#song of the day #'if I don't make it back from where I've gone / just know I loved you all along'#I'm setting up my queue for a more proper recommendation tomorrow but I've been rereading 'shoulder the sky' by Night_Fury #the whole series draws from various Amazing Devil lines for titles and such #'back then I was dauntless' is my favorite reworking of the Melidaan arc I've ever seen absolutely anywhere #and the title is a line from my favorite Amazing Devil song 'The Calling' but 'Inkpot Gods' is used to stunning effect in-story #and the beautiful refrain from the end of the song is playing in my head now as I keep going into the series #today was a deeply unpleasant day: the inevitable finally happened and Duncan cut himself doing his mudlarking #we'd been trying to schedule a preventative tetanus shot but several times we've gone in for the properly scheduled shot #and found out that they didn't actually have one in stock. unspeakably frustrating #and today we ran out of time for a preventative one. I woke up #(actually I woke up for work as he was going out for his walk but I got a migraine halfway through my morning meeting--no good--#and took the rest of the day off--turns out to have been a very good thing--and went back to sleep. so I woke up the second time)#to Duncan coming back from his walk with a sliced finger and the grody plastic-and-tin swan that had done the slicing #(picture of said swan under the cut because why not. it does look neat. can't see the sharp edge in the pic though it's underneath)#and so then we called the pharmacy and got the same automated 'of course you can have a tetanus shot' as ever so we made an appointment #and we got there and they did actually have a shot in stock this time! except that they weren't able to administer it #because now he's post-exposure that's a different shot and they aren't allowed. so we had to go to the urgent care instead #all told we spent about four hours out of the house on this mission but Duncan did get his shot and some bonus antibiotic goo for the cut #and it was worth it but also bleeeeeeegh it was miserable. which is where my recommendations do come in #when I tell y'all that I spent today reading Night_Fury's fics and also looking at valiants' CoD art and it saved me #whooo I mean it. being simultaneously stressed + bored is the nightmare state for me and instead I had wonderful things in my phone

It seems like Enhypen's new title track, Bite Me, will be produced by Cirkut (Ava Max's main producer) and Jason Evigan (who's made hits like Dua Lipa's Physical and Alessia Cara's Sweet Dream). With that pedigree, we might be getting a world-class BOP. So far everything's pointing to this album being their best comeback ever!

Alright. I listen to the LotR soundtrack WAY too much while I'm studying/doing homework, so, in honor of my classes starting up again (whee) here are some of my favorite tracks.

Under the cut because I tend to rant:

The Shire and Bag End: Warm, homey, pastoral. I love it. The most calming songs I've ever listened to. It always makes me jump when Gandalf starts singing but that's ok.

Flaming Red Hair: Reminds me of Celtic folk/trad music, which I listen to a lot. Cheerful and upbeat

The Passing of the Elves: Haunting, beautiful. Gives me shivers. I can't really listen to it while I'm reading because I get distracted.

Rivendell: Light and beautiful. Captures the feeling of the elves who remain in Middle Earth perfectly. I love how it incorporates the Shire theme because Elrond was really just trying to establish a home and we're seeing it from the hobbit's point of view, so it means he succeeded and ---

The Road Goes Ever On... (parts 1 and 2): The way the Fellowship theme and the Shire theme are blended together, home and heroism, boldness and unassuming strength, sorrow and hope. This one usually makes me tear up. Which is a problem.

The Three Hunters: Quintessential Lord of the Rings. When I think of the soundtrack I hear this track.

Edoras, The Court of Meduseld, and Theoden King/"The Funeral of Theodred": The polar opposite of the Shire theme, rugged and dangerous, bleak and betrayed, but with the feeling that there's still something there worth protecting. Also I just really love Rohan.

Arwen's Fate/"The Grace of the Valar": This one usually makes me cry. The feeling of Middle Earth as post-apocalyptic really comes out in this one. Evokes a setting that was once much higher and more beautiful, but is now fading along with the elves as the age of men draws near. The shadow of the Silmarillion that overlies all parts of LotR really hits me with this track.

and, an honorable mention: Erebor, from The Hobbit soundtrack. I don't agree with all the choices they made for those movies, but the music remains great.

#i actually don't have that much attachment to the rotk soundtrack for some reason #probably because i never get that far in my 12 hour study playlist lol #it is not only lotr but also star wars brave httyd rise of the guardians and songs from other assorted soundtracks #i know my homework is getting ridiculous when i start at the beginning of the playlist and end up listening to one ring to rule them all #which is three full-length movie soundtracks in #actually i'm gonna go make a playlist out of these and title it lotr emotions now

I also do not understand TikTok

I do not understand YouTube Shorts.

Why can't I add them to a playlist or my Watch Later when you show them on my subscription page? Why do you keep showing me things I have no interest in? How do I make you stop doing that? Do the thumbs down do that, or does it just make the person feel bad for making it? Do I have to block every channel that makes something I don't want to see because that sounds unpleasant? Why does my history show I've watched everything I've scrolled past and not just the things I actually watched? Does my history effect what shows up? Do I need to go through all the time and remove everything I wasn't interested in (AKA 85% of what you show me) from my history in hopes of getting showed marginally more of things that interest me? Why can't you only show me things I've subscribed to?

#I am too old for TikTok #Oldness probably not helped by my dislike of media that requires sound #I just think they should write everything down so I can read it if I want to know what is there but cannot audio #I could try and pretend it was some sort of deaf-accessibility thing but it's just me #And I'm not deaf #I just like reading #And don't like listening to most things most of the time #*cue the song I made up and sang to my cat titled 'Just Shut Up and Write it Down'*#youtube #youtube shorts #shorts #tiktok
