Here's a tough one-- math time.
Please tell us-- how much time passed between your first serious sexual encounter with a man and your first similarly-serious encounter with a woman?
i specifically started this blog so i wouldn't have to do math!! lol
um... hmm.
I definitely fooled around with guys and girls in high school. probably kissed more girls first haha. i guesssss it was a while between actual sexy things with them... ummm a year? maybe? idk. this is hard and now I'm just thinking of eating pussy while getting pounded from behind by a big cock hehe

What do you think would be lena's courage gaunlet test

#seriously!#some of the bravest shit a person can do is be honest with themselves#and Lena particularly likely feels she’d just be retraumatizing herself#little does she know the hardest truth she’ll have to face is that she’s her own worst enemy#and no matter how hard she tries to get out from under the weight of the luthor name#she won’t ever allow herself to feel happy or accomplished until she faces the true final boss:#her own inner critic and tendency to self-sabotage#(no i’m not desperately invested in this idea. stop looking at me like that)#ask me things!#anonymous

20 Questions More
A deeper and more detailed version of the 20 questions for AO3 fanfic writers. Thanks @fabulousglitch for the tag!!
1) How do you keep getting ideas for your ship/fandom?
The blorbos won't leave me alone.
2) Which authors inspire you in your fandom, and why are they so freakishly good?
There are too many to count. I was introduced to Supergirl through fanfic and the canon I know to be true has been built on the backs of hundreds of contributors. It wouldn't do anyone justice if I started a list because 1. it would become a monolith of names and 2. I would definitely miss one(s). If you're in this fandom, you've likely inspired me, and that counts both for written, gif-ed, and drawn works.
3) Aside from the characters of your main ship, who are the characters you love to write?
Alex, but I don't always get it right.
4) Are there pairings or tropes you know for sure you'd never write about? Which ones?
There is a lot I probably wouldn't do, but I also for sure never expected to write an F1 au, so...
5) What is your writing process and why is it cursed?
I can either sit down and crush 1-3k words or sit down and tweak the same seven sentences for two hours. There is rarely an in between.
6) What is your favorite part of your writing process?
Editing. Oh boy do I LOVE editing. Those opportunities for finessing and fine-tuning and tweaking are *mwah*
7) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to research for a fic?
This isn't weird but is more recent: I did a deep dive into star constellations for a throwaway line in 'new kind of romance'
8) Is there a particular writing rule you struggle with (grammar, spelling, tense, reality in general)?
This is a nonanswer, but I would love to expand my vocabulary. The thesaurus is my writing buddy, but there are very real moments where I pout and scowl and glare at the ceiling because I can't think of the word that I'm feeling.
9) What was your hardest scene to write so far and why?
Any sort of conflict/confession/confrontation is always really hard for me, but they're also maybe my favorite things to write. I want the characters to hash things out and be honest and vulnerable, and I think tackling big emotions is a delicate balance. I never want to sound too forceful, but I don't want to leave things unsaid, but I don't want anyone to do anything out of character, but i don't want to yadda yadda...
10) Have your characters ever done something you didn’t expect, changing your plot completely?
see: 'crisis of indulgence'
11) If you could converse with any of the characters, who would it be and why?
Lena; I think she'd be a lot of fun to debate/argue with (respectfully).
12) What are some of the tropes or themes that you find yourself returning to in your writing?
(so far) always a happy ending. the readers and these characters deserve it.
13) What's your most important resource as a writer?
Living experiences (which takes time!). I don't think I could write heartbreak without having experienced that guttural feeling of loss in the same way I don't think I could write about failure or anger or insecurity or love or laughter. I think reading and the act of writing every day are incredibly resourceful, but the act of my lived experiences and those feelings is something I draw from in everything I write.
14) Can you share some of your strategies for editing and revising your work?
I edit as I go which doesn't work for everyone; however, a super fun thing I've picked up in recent works is this: when going to do a final edit of a <insert: chapter, one-shot, etc>, I read the last few paragraphs first. That sets me up to know exactly what the chapter is aiming for: feelings, motivations, plot, etc. I then use that as the anchor for how I tweak/edit/add small details to the rest of the chapter during my final read-through. I find it helps flesh out the larger story with smaller details.
15) Which is worse: making the summary, picking the tags, or the anxiety when you post your fic?
none of the above really since nothing about posting is carved in stone. tags and summaries can always be tweaked.
16) How do you define success for your fanfic - hits? Kudos? Comments? Bookmarks? Or just if you like it?
If it's finished. Bonus points if people get something out of it, but the act of having written something feels like the biggest success.
17) Do you have a playlist for your favorite character/ship?
Not really. I have go-to soundtracks for 'writing vibes' but nothing project/ship dedicated. (though 'like we're made of glass' was definitely inspired by very specific songs)
18) If fan art was going to be made from your work, which fic would you pick and which fan artist would you like to create it?
Again there are too many jaw-droppingly talented artists in this fandom to choose just one. It would of course be a wild crazy honor to see a work inspired by one of my fics, but there's already so much in this fandom to be inspired by that it doesn't feel like a loss.
19) How many WIPs do you currently have?
*sighs* for supercorp? there are a few (five). but the one that has most of my creative down time is a supercorp wicked au i have wanted to write for years but only have the faintest wisps of an outline for.
20) What's your advice to new fanfic writers?
Do it, do it, do it!
But also, one of my favorite pieces of advice for ANY creative venture is from Marc Dalessio who made this super cool 'creative process' graph in 2010 and included this line to summarize it: The ability to see improves before technical skill, and we often have difficulty assessing honestly exactly how our work looks.
It helps during those ruts when I look at everything I've recently written/drawn/created and scrunch up my nose in snobbish disgust because it just means I'm growing in some new way and not that anything I'm doing is inherently bad.
- - - - -
tagging (respectfully and without pressure) @sideguitars @fazedlight @inkedroplets if you want some rapid-fire q's thrown your way. but also anyone who wants to take a swing, i'd be jazzed to read the different answers
#figured i'd fill this buddy out since i've got post-new romances time on my hands#fabulousglitch#ask game?#qs with quinn#ask me things!

It’s Beas nice ask day!
So my question for you: What is something you haven’t shared here (or shared very recently) that is so shocking and surprising nobody would believe it
Hey there @inexplicablymine! Have I got a doozy for you!
On my 30th birthday, I was at a bank trying to get a car loan, and two guys ran in wearing coveralls and balaclavas and robbed the place at gunpoint. One of them was tubby and had a big Wilford Brimley mustache. I had to lie on the floor with everyone else in the building. Footage of me on the floor of the bank made the local evening news.
About a year later, the news aired a segment about another robbery at another local bank, and I could’ve sworn it was the same two guys — I recognized them by the one guy’s mustache.

Do have any ideas how Eddie can be or act creepy?Like I think many people are scared of him by just looking at him.He can probably do some weird and unhinged stuff and because of his unpredictable behavior you don’t know if he’s friendly or he’s about to maul you
Oh gee, my elbows decided to not hurt long enough that I could write a longer post! …Lol nah, I just wrote it while taking breaks.
…why are we here just to suffer…
Hm, but wait, are we talking just Eddie-Eddie or Eddie with the Symbiote? Bc being bonded with it def can give him a big creepy boost lol. Either way… Lemme try and make a list, from the most mundane to “can somebody call an exorcist please??”.
Over-familiarity. To put it simply, Eddie(especially the classic era) thinks of himself as quite the charismatic guy, with which the rest of the world doesn’t… exactly agree. He kisses strangers’ kids on the forehead, talks about his daddy issues on the first date and invites himself in to help with the laundry. Some will find it friendly and sweet. Some - unsettling.
Morbid sense of humor. It has to be said that (as much as he sometimes also wishes people to look past his rough exterior) Eddie definitely enjoys intimidating people. The problem is that more often than not he’s the only one in on the joke, because for most of the time it’s nigh impossible to tell when he’s serious, since he absolutely can and will (in certain situations) do exactly what he’s joking about. (“Are you scared we’ll eat you?” quips the man known for eating people).
The stare. Eddie is pretty menacing just by the virtue of his build, but what really sells it is his facial expression. You’ve heard of “resting bi*ch face”? Well, get ready for “resting serial killer face”. He’s scowling 23/7 (with exception of 1 hour per week of smiling because he loves his Other) and with those eyebrows of his he sure can give Kubrick a run for his money.
Talking to himself. I mean, for obvious reason, yeah, but I also think he’s so casual about talking to his Other out in the open because he used to talk to himself anyway.
Animalistic body language and behaviour. This one, (I think) comes after the Symbiote. Maybe. Probably not, but you know. Let’s give him some benefit of the doubt. When angry or threatened Eddie definitely hisses and growls at others, bares his teeth…
Eating bugs. No, I don’t believe this is in any way caused by the Symbiote. Eddie’s just this damn weird. Besides, this isn’t how it works. (however, after bonding with it I’m also headcannoning that he started eating raw meat as a snack).
Seeming to have eyes on the back of his head. Thanks to the Symbiote, unless they’re both distracted, Eddie’s field of view is virtually 360°. Which can be a little creepy at times.
How do I put this nicely… Well, Eddie is a pretty… Intense person. Yeah. And he’s not, well, not great at taking the hint. And respecting boundaries. If he likes you, he REALLY likes you. He has a tendency for getting obsessed with people and can be really pushy, because if he does his best and applies himself surely you will appreciate it, right? Right?? And while this personality trait probably gets amplified when he’s with the Symbiote, it couldn’t have appeared out of thin air. Look, he just doesn’t have many people in his life and sometimes being so isolated makes him compensate in a way that understandably makes others uncomfortable.
This is sth I’ve never seen other people headcanon, but I like to imagine that when Eddie and the Symbiote are, you know, just chilling at a safe location, sometimes they… blur? collapse? a little, like on the physical level specifically? The Symbiote emerges to a certain degree, because Eddie enjoys from time to time having it around in a more corporal form that he can look at and touch, but without the prying eyes of other humans and their human sensibilities, it doesn’t form into anything particularly coherent. So they turn into this really casual, domestic, utterly horrifying body horror varying from black goo oozing from Eddie’s mouth, eyes etc and a full on mess a’la “The Thing”. It’s their version of stretched out sweatpants and holey undershirt.
Those are the ones I came up with so far, but I'm certain that if he'd put his hear into it, he could be even creepier ♥ (lol)

Cav! 3 and 17 for the writer asks. Or swap them out if they don’t spark joy 💕
Rowan!! Thank you for the ask :D
3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
Two answers:
Bridges - one of the first fics I wrote, one that I poured my heart into, and one that centers around a place I adore. I received so much unexpected love for this fic that it feels central to my online identity here.
Inertia - the fic I have perhaps worked hardest on. I read books, I plotted and workshopped and did my little morning writing ritual for ages. I lived in that world a long time, and am still proud of the ways I challenged myself in the writing of it. It feels like my own little world.
17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?
Prisons suck: I read Are Prisons Obsolete (Angela Davis) and We Do This 'Til We Free Us (Mariame Kaba) in preparation for Inertia and learned an enormous amount about prison abolition & the prison industrial complex
Oh that's what it says: It didn't even make it into A study in opposites, but the Welsh on the Wales Millennium Centre translates to "Creating truth like glass from inspiration's furnace". Also that everything in the UK is closer together than I think.
Old Finnish guys went so hard actually: I did a lot of Wikipedia-ing and some reading of the Kalevala for The Hardest Hue To Hold. The golden wife thing wasn't even the wildest thing in there. One guy gets resurrected in a crazy graphic way, another guy gets eaten but survives I think?
If you want to ask more questions, feel free!

Did I miss anything? What are all y'all reading?

hey, just thought I'd drop by and let you know that I love your art and comics, they're very cool :)
like many people I suspect, I found your work through the detention fanart (love the detail on the docs and john's patch pants). I don't know if I want to be john or date john (the answer is both). loved the detail of john's killer klowns poster too!
presumably since so many of your characters are punk, you are too. if so do you have any music recommendations?
thanks for reading :)
Hello! I'm so glad to hear that!
ahah yeah i never expected that piece to blow up like it did, im super grateful about it, it was definitely an experiment in style so im glad people like it so much and found my comics and stuff through it. (its not technically fanart though, i am raptorjules, the artist of the detention piece and creator of the comics and characters in it, though its so different than my usual and ofc i posted under this tumblr handle so i know a lot of people don't realize we are the same person!) also re: john, SAME friend. john is kind of a self portrait of a person i could have been when i was younger, if that makes sense, had i decided back then to fully transition. im really happy that people like him so much, he means so so much to me!
hahaha you got me, I was a teenager in the early to mid 90's, i listen to all things these days and punk is SUCH A BROAD GENRE and i tend to lean toward ska punk or folk punk more than crust or hardcore these days, but lets see, i'll give you some rec's of bands that inspire my art and ofc john in general. also you can head over to youtube, under raptorjules, and there should be a playlist called Johnny's Music that goes along with the song rec's on the Creaky arc in my comic Seemingly Dark, if you liked those songs!
So for more modern punk music, i love anything by The Interrupters (ska punk forever plz,) and Dog Park Dissidents for some queer punk (especially their toxic cover, fight me.) And Skatune Network for more wonderfully queer ska/skapunk.
In high school at the height of my Outwardly Studded and Spiked Punk Days i listened to a lot of Rancid (specifically the Life Won't Wait album) Descendants, Social Distortion, the Violent Femmes (the live Add it Up album if you can find it is the best one imo) Jugheads Revenge (Image is Everything album), Wizo (german queercore punk, i like the Herrenhandtasche album.) pretty much anything by The Mountain Goats, and finally, The Bouncing Souls are my all time favorite band, punk or not, any album, but the Hopeless Romantic album inspired so many of my stories and pieces plus its great driving music!
and ofc Johns theme song is Social Distortions Story of My Life. idk if this helps, ive never thought my music taste was terribly interesting or good, but i listen to what i like and what inspires me.
thanks for reading and reaching out! and id love some music recs from anyone who would like to leave them in the comments or hashtags, especially music that reminds you of my art or stories, punk or not!
-rj
#rj rambles#ask me things!#music recs#i love asks yall for real#always fun to age myself in these things ahahahaha

i would love to know more about 83 stops and the one where kara grieves if you pls thanks thanks
ahhh thanks for much for the ask!!
83 stops is, at its simplest, a story about a bus ride. at its most complex, it's a network of things and people and stories all intertwined together. i started writing this on the bus to work each morning (inspiring, i know). at first i just wanted to capture the experience of riding a bus (especially when you know the route and stops and the predictability of it): how sometimes you experience every agonizing stop in all of its tedious glory but other times your mind wanders because you saw a new piece of graffiti that reminds you of Emmett, your real estate agent son from your third marriage who married a house painter and, when the relationship went sour (his fault), she (the house painter) made it her personal mission to repaint (read: dump a bucket of paint on) every park bench that had his real-estate advert (and face) posted on it and then suddenly four bus stops have whizzed past.
And then i did that a bunch of times and started linking the relationships together (what about the man's first wife? second wife? who is the bus driver? what about the random lady who speed walks beside the bus each morning? or the strange man from out of town wearing a fedora carrying a crocodile skin suitcase? or the abandoned printing factory the bus still drives around even though no one has worked there for decades?). Then I made a city map and wrote a history for the city and hopefully maybe one day will finish this thing.
----
the one where kara grieves is.. well it's all grief. it's grief and angst and loss but in the way we all sort of hope for it: after experiencing a full life and not because of unexpected tragedy. i don't touch this one often because i have to be in very particular headspaces to both write and edit it. i (think?) posted this excerpt once before, but this was the (heavily unedited) scene i wrote that set the whole thing up:
“Do you know how lucky we are? To have had this life together?” Lena replied, eyes glistening with unfallen tears. Her cheek leaned into Kara’s touch - it was colder than usual, and Kara moved to grab another blanket, but Lena’s fingers held firm.
Kara squinted in question and brow scrunched in confusion, but Lena simply shook her head.
“It won’t matter soon.”
“Soon?” Kara parroted, eyes blinking with the sudden wave of tears blurring her vision. “I thought-”
“It’s time, darling.”
The words echoed through their bedroom and ricocheted off the surfaces to land like a ton of bricks onto Kara’s heart.
“No,” she replied - prayed. Surely if Rao existed; if she had sacrificed so much of her life, she could have this one thing - she could have more time.
But colder lips pressed themselves to Kara’s palm in reply.
“No please," Kara said and brushed angrily at the tears abstracting the view of Lena's face. "Not yet; not now. We can still do something. We can… what can we do? Tell me what to do -?”
“Lay with me?” Lena asked, and for the first time Kara could hear the frailty in Lena’s voice. She could see the denial she’d been living with for weeks if not months.
And she wanted to run; to fly; to freeze time. She wanted anything but this; anything but the fading pulse and shallow breaths and gentle smile of the brightest light Kara had ever known dimming before her eyes. It was worse than Krypton. It was worse than every failed save and difficult life choice, because this was Lena.
Lena, who had stood by her side for a lifetime; who held her heart; who never backed down from a fight. Lena who was a life force greater than Kara’s own will or courage or stamina.
Until now. Until death came to her doorstep. Until Kara, fighting back her instinct to fix, climbed into their bed next to Lena. Until Kara wrapped her arms around her wife one final time, and with one final press of her lips to Kara’s, she met it with a soft sigh.

And for the WIP word game: thigh
Oh sheesh, you know thighs are one of my favorite things to write about. The word appears 41 times in Facing Tempests, as of today. Here are the last three instances in which I've used "thigh" in my WIPs:
Alex snorts, dropping an affectionate kiss on Henry’s inner thigh.
and
Alex gives him a little smile and then laps at Henry’s cock, shoving himself up on his left elbow so he can get his right hand down between Henry’s thighs.
and
He curls his tongue the way Henry’d taught him, carefully covering his teeth, his hands on Henry’s thighs, thumbs dipping down into the little hollows just below his groin.
[Send me a word and I'll share the most recent sentence from one of my WIPs that includes that word.]
