Hello, if you don't mind me asking for your thoughts on all members of La Squadra being bridal carried by their lil (secretly buffy but not really) SO. Sorry my english might be mixed up and I really like your ways of characterized the team <3

Never apologize for your English! I'm not a native speaker and even if I were, I would never judge. Thank you for the kind words, too! SO stuff isn't my strong suit but I'll give it a shot!

Risotto: I think the best time was actually the first time, when he was exceedingly shocked and incredulous, and then just said, "Ah, I see. You are strong," and allowed himself to be carried until the SO got weak in the knees. He would allow the bridal carry as long as the SO was in perfect health and if he wanted to make a point of demonstrating their strength to someone.

Formaggio: He would find it pretty funny and allow it as long as he was in a good mood, but he would want to return the favor, so when the SO put him down, they could expect to be picked up. A shrunken-to-practical-size Formaggio would definitely be carried about like that whenever he got drunk off his ass, and he would appreciate the lift even more in that state, so everybody wins here.

Prosciutto: He would be extremely angry if he was picked up without his consent, so it's best to preserve the moment for times when he is out of commission or deep asleep and has to be moved. He doesn't care to bridal carry anyone and won't be wooed by such a gesture even in a good mood - he is a bit of a killjoy that way. He won't say a word though if he is genuinely in need of being carried.

Pesci: This one is more of a hopeless romantic, mostly on account of believing that genuinely romantic moments are out of his reach due to his appearance and his anxious fumbling, so if he were to be picked up, he would first be surprised and then very flustered about it. His heart would swell with ardor to be strong too so he could be there for the SO who could lift him and carry him so tenderly.

Ghiaccio: Another one who would detest being carried, as he resents being held in a way that doesn't allow him to easily move away. He would have to be coaxed into it as either a trust exercise or actual physical exercise, so there would be equal amounts of bridal carry on both ends, and he would still insist that over the shoulder is a way better method of transporting a body, so... there you go.

Melone: His surprise would be much more animated and positive than the others' - he would find such a display of strength interesting and intriguing, and he would happily let the SO carry him until they gave out and had to put him down. He would thoughtfully count the steps taken and chat to the SO about how reassuring it is to have someone so capable around, which is pretty rewarding.

Illuso: He likes the concept of the bridal carry, but he is too much of a drama queen to allow it under ordinary circumstances; it would have to be done at the right moment and with the right amount of flair, and the flex would feel quite different from what Risotto might aim for. Also he is somewhat stingy and would have to be begged to return the favor. His smugness about it is somewhat endearing.

Sorbet: He is lukewarm on the concept because he's not a traditional romantic, but he would find it an acceptable way of being carried into bed, and would probably opt for the bridal carry as his position of choice if he also felt the drama rumble in his blood, or if he was incapacitated and had to be carried. Allow him to hang limp and lifeless from the SO's arms for the best effect.

Gelato: He doesn't seem to think the bridal carry very special, though he understands that it is something couples might do, and therefore would consider it as proof of love if he were carried. He's a very good sport about it, but he wouldn't make it easy: he knows how to squeeze back and wiggle if he wants to be an ass for fun, so let's hope the SO is both buff enough and not very ticklish.

#jjba #la squadra #risotto nero #formaggio #prosciutto #pesci #ghiaccio #melone #illuso #sorbet #gelato #squadrah headcanons #squadrah original #squadrah ships #not sure if i ever tagged SO type stuff with ships but why not #it is certainly in that ball park #hope you enjoy!

Hello! I am back from the grave for a Six (Seven?) Sentence Sunday Post!!

Thank you to everyone that has been so kind as to include my in your tag lists despite my silence. @shrekgogurt @artsyunderstudy @ivelovedhimthroughworse @hushed-chorus @j-nipper-95 @martsonmars @ileadacharmedlife @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @palimpsessed @aristocratic-otter @cutestkilla @onepintobean @fatalfangirl @aroace-genderfluid-sheep and @ic3-que3n

It's been a chaotic few weeks - I won't get into the absolute soap opera levels of madness that is my life. But if you've been in my DM's recently, know that I appreciate you infinitely for putting up with me.

So, without further ado, have some sentences from six different projects I've been trying to make progress with :

COBB Project #1

Mordelia saw both her mother and sisters in the aftermath of everything. She has to live with that horror living inside her mind just like I do. I still can’t sleep through the night. It’s impossible to close my eyes and not see their faces in those final moments. The light burned their eyes from the inside as their skin pulled tight from the heat drying them out. Nothing but a husk of a corpse was left behind.

COBB Project #2

As much as mother wishes it were, my heritage is no great secret to me. I know that Malcolm is my father. Which means I know the whole reason we live in the mortal realm is to keep him from controlling our lives. If only my mother would understand that I don’t need her to control my life. Growing up, I quickly realized that the nymphs who I thought were my friends were really nothing more than my guards. Playing with me to ensure that I didn’t leave the land that was under my mothers protection.

Infinity In Your Chest Pocket

(No, this project isn't dead. Just taken a seat on the back burner because I don't know how to not sign up for events with deadlines.)

He has absolutely no table manners – just shoveling the food in his mouth. I want to shove my tongue in his mouth. To lick the syrup from the back of his teeth and get lost in him. The thought isn’t unusual for me. I spend a concerning amount of both my waking and sleeping hours thinking of Simon Snow. Fantasizing about all of the ways he’ll never touch me. It’s probably unhealthy - letting my thoughts run rampant all the time, but if it’s all I’m ever going to get I have to take it.

Mystery Gift #1

The absolute tease. I can't believe that he actually had the audacity to walk across campus with my spunk splattered across his face like that. (I can actually believe it, he has no fucking shame, and it's not like anyone could really see him.) But he knows how I feral I get with him. I hate it. (I don't, I fucking love it, but that doesn't mean I understand it.) Which means he knows exactly what to expect when I get back to our room.

Not so Mystery Gift #2

(I love you, I swear I'll get this done soon for you <3)

"I do believe that I gave you very clear orders today," Erwin practically growls. Pressing impossibly closer and forcing my lower back into the edge of the table. It's impossible for me to not let a sly grin cross my face at his mock fury. "You did." My response only serves to rile him up further as he grabs my chin between calloused fingers and forces my eyes to meet his. "If you can't follow basic commands, maybe I need to put you on a tighter leash."

Gravy

(How did I get here? How did I become a food kink pioneer?)

I'm never going to be able to face Ruth again. Not after having spent all afternoon asking her to help me make a thick gravy worthy of the queen. The gravy is delicious. The queen isn't worthy of it. It's warm and peppery - a deep brown color that stands out against my skin as it drips down my collarbone and chest. Baz doesn't let it drip far though before he's licking it up hungrily. I like to imagine that it's my blood he's lapping up so eagerly.

9 people you would like to get to know better

Tagged by @hawkstincan, @aqua-fail and @sophiainspace <3

1. 3 ships - So I usually rotate my top ships as to which I'm currently very into. So the currently top contenders are Sterek (it's like I'm back in 2012 with how far into these feels I am), Obikin (it's had a tight hold on me since 2020, even if I'm not showing it much love right now) and Stevetony.

2. first ever ship - Cory x Shawn x Topanga from Boy Meets World. Though I could also argue that it was Faith x Buffy from BtVS or Xena x Gabrielle from XWP. I kind of fell into all three roughly around the same time, so not entirely sure which is the true first one for me.

3. last song - Something Real by Post Malone. (@asexual-fandom-queen this song is still fucking me up and I'm still blaming you for it!)

4. last movie - The Nightmare Before Christmas.

5. currently reading - I'm actually currently in between both books and fics right now.

6. currently watching - Critical Role (trying to catch up on the current campaign) and debating with myself about doing a re-watch of Teen Wolf to see if I can finally finish it out. I stopped after 4 :/

7. currently consuming - A drink and tumblr as I put off going to get started on dinner.

8. currently craving - Cookies. Like, I would kill for a chocolate chip cookie right now and what sucks is I could make myself some but I don't want to do that. I just want to eat the cookie.

Tagging: @partialtotheperiwinkleblue, @that-gay-jedi, @kittimau, @dear-massacre, @thetorontokid, @bi-wan, @dreaminghour, @ragnarlothcat, @jasontoddiefor and whoever else would like to do this!

i'm not going to be posting this to ao3 until i know what i'm going to do with it, so for now, have it as a special tumblr preview: xander and sonia's first meeting in the 'verse of what you make!

(for those who would like to read this without the larger context, all you need to know is that this takes place post s7, and xander is working for a new iteration of the watchers' council in a slayer-locating capacity.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girls he met reminded Xander of Buffy in a way that made his chest hurt a little. Though their responses to their calling varied widely, they were always remarkably unremarkable—always concerned with how this would impact their homework, their time with their friends, their bid for Prom Queen—and it always made him think about how Buffy had looked, holding those pom-poms with her chin jutting out. She had been so determined to still be normal, not yet knowing how hard the world would make it to just be.

They were trying to make it better for the girls. They were. But the New Council was still in its baby stages, and the loose framework they’d set up wasn’t always enough to convince the girls that they wanted to join up. Most of their fledgling resources were being devoted to making sure that the little Slayers weren’t going to be walking demon magnets, whether or not they were actually planning to take a stand against said demons. And the worst part was that Xander couldn’t even blame the girls for not wanting this kind of a life. Who would?

Well. Him. But he’d chosen, and they hadn’t. Buffy had wanted to give the girls a choice, and that was what was happening. Two girls of the seven he’d met had chosen, and done so with youthful exuberance that had torn a little at Xander’s heart. More often than not, excited optimism about a calling like this one was a recipe for disaster.

“Are you here for anything?” said the secretary archly.

Xander blinked, shaking his head a little to clear it, before giving the secretary his best winning smile. “Can you, uh, call Sasha Rivera up to the office?” he asked.

The secretary gave him a thoroughly unimpressed look. “No, I cannot, uh, call Sasha Rivera up to the office,” she said. “For one thing, it’s the middle of the day. She’ll be in class. For another—”

“Yeah, see, I’m here on business,” said Xander, flashing his official Council ID in the secretary’s direction. “Our organization wants to recruit Sasha for—”

“What organization?”

“We’re a lot like a Gifted and Talented program.”

“Are you a lot like a Gifted and Talented program, or are you a Gifted and Talented program?”

“Look, I talked to the principal on the phone,” said a bemused Xander. “He said he’d be fine with me sitting down and talking to Sasha about some of the opportunities our organization offers. Is there some kind of a problem?”

Before the secretary could answer, a well-dressed older guy rounded the corner, bustling with cheerful importance. “You must be Alexander Harris!” he said, clapping Xander particularly hard on the back and smiling with unctuous importance. “Welcome, welcome! And thank you ever so much for your charitable donation towards the restoration of our gymnasium! Not that money is tight here, of course it isn’t, but we can always improve upon the existing infrastructure, can’t we?”

“Uh,” said Xander. The secretary was still staring daggers at him for some reason. “Yeah?”

“Splendid,” said the guy, who Xander was now starting to recognize from the briefing packet that Willow had sent them. Principal Tom Sanders. Kind of an asshole, interested primarily in the care and keeping of money, possibly embezzling but nobody had been able to make charges stick just yet. The important thing was getting him to let Xander have a conversation with Sasha, which had been pretty concerningly easy the minute that Xander had made a “charitable donation” to the school. This really wasn’t helping Xander’s feelings about principals in general. “Sophie, why don’t you call Sasha up to the office?”

The secretary’s lips pursed. She stabbed a few buttons on her phone with particular violence, then spoke into the receiver. “Would Sasha Rivera come up to the front office, please?”

“Try to smile a little while you do it, why don’t you?”

“Oh, hey, that’s really not necessary,” said Xander uneasily.

The secretary looked up at Xander and smiled—all teeth, and particularly unpleasant. Xander’s heart flipped over. “Thank you for your charitable donation to Silverfish Middle School!” she said, making charitable donation sound like extremely contagious butt rash. “Sasha will be with you posthaste. Will anyone be looking into making sure she has access to the lesson plan for the time she misses in class?” she added towards the principal.

“Why don’t you ask me that when you’re not on the clock?” said the principal pointedly. “There’s gotta be a separation, Sophie. As my secretary, your job is to make sure Mr. Harris here is able to meet with Sasha Rivera, and frankly, it’s hard for me to see why you wouldn’t be over the moon about her having an opportunity like this.”

“An opportunity a lot like a Gifted and Talented program?” said the secretary.

“Sophie,” said the principal.

Clearly there was something going on here that Xander was missing. He was just about to ask some kind of clarifying question when a girl stepped into the office—tall, gangly, dark hair in two big poofs. “Is everything okay?” asked Sasha Rivera, holding herself in a way that was somewhere between anxiety and defensiveness.

“Sasha, you’ve got a visitor!” said the principal brightly. “This is Mr. Harris of—what was it?”

“The New Council,” said Xander.

“The New Council!” said the principal, clapping Xander on the back again. Xander lurched forward and almost rammed into the wall. “He’s here to talk to you about an amazing academic opportunity that he believes you’re perfect for.”

For some reason, Sasha’s eyes flitted to the secretary. “An academic opportunity,” she said, drawing out the words. “That I’m perfect for. Me.”

The secretary pinched the bridge of her nose.

“…Do you mind if we use your office?” Xander asked the principal.

“Oh, no, go ahead!” said the principal jovially. “Anything at all for such a generous—”

“Great!” said Xander. “Thanks. Sasha, could you come with me for a second?”

“Okay, you know what, I am at my limit,” said the secretary, standing up at her desk with fire in her eyes. “Tom, my name is Sonia, not Sophie, and this is not the way you run a school. Do any of us have any idea who this man is or what his program is espousing? Just because he hands you a big, fat check, you’re willing to let him come in off the street and spend some time behind a locked door with my sister? How is that remotely safe in any way?”

The principal’s smile went all plastic. “Sophie,” he said, “I think you and I can have this discussion later, and not now, especially not in front of—”

“Oh,” said Xander, who had somehow, finally, put two and two together. “No, uh, Sonia, if you want to sit in on this, you definitely can. I didn’t know you guys were sisters!” That did not sound like a thing a Professional Scholarship-Giving Man would say. He tried again. “I mean, look, I can’t really get into the academic stuff until this guy isn’t here—”

“This guy?” said the principal, a little testily.

“Whose office, time, and patience I am very grateful for,” Xander added hastily. “Obviously. I just mean that this is something I want to run by Sasha first, and if Sonia is concerned, as a family member, I can completely accommodate—”

“Now, hold on,” said the principal. “Sophie’s on the clock. I’m perfectly fine if you’d like a meeting with just Sasha, but someone needs to man the phones—”

“Well, if someone needs to man the phones, couldn’t you do it?” said Xander before his brain caught up to his mouth.

Sasha snorted. Sonia pressed her lips together, but her eyes were sparkling with mirth. “Mr. Harris,” said the principal. “I think you should remember that I am allowing you a meeting with one of my students when she should be in class, not suggestions as to how I should run my office.”

“Got it,” said Xander, holding his hands up. “Sonia—”

“Sophie is not a part of this conversation.”

“No, she’s not,” said Xander, not missing a beat. “I was talking to Sonia.”

“You’re a regular little wise-cracker, aren’t you?” said the principal, still with that plastic smile. “Listen, Mr. Harris, that donation of yours doesn’t go far enough to cover my secretary’s salary. If you want to talk to Soph—Sonia outside of school hours, you can, but—”

Ignoring the principal, Xander leaned over the desk, warmed by the fact that Sonia was no longer looking at him with outright antipathy. “I’m obviously not gonna get into the details in front of Principal Moneybags here,” he informed her, his heart doing a funny little twirl when her mouth twitched, “but I would like to talk to you. Both of you. I don’t want to exclude you; you’re involved in this as much as Sasha is. Most of the time, we come to the school, we talk to the girls before we talk to the family, because the girls are the ones who need this information the most. But if you’re receptive to listening, this is definitely a conversation that it would be okay for you to be there for.”

“Mr. Harris,” said the principal testily, no longer sounding quite so friendly.

Sonia looked up at him—gorgeous eyes, Xander thought, as dark as the night sky—and said, simply, “Okay.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They met at a café a few blocks away from the school, Sasha cheerfully guzzling down a hot chocolate while Sonia delicately sipped black coffee. “I hope I didn’t jeopardize your job there,” Xander started uncertainly, eyes on Sonia even though they probably should have been on Sasha.

“No, it’s fine,” said Sonia tiredly. “I’ve been thinking about quitting for a while now. He keeps calling me Sophie and asking me to handle all the Black History Month stuff because I’d know more about it than him.”

“Which is racist,” Sasha chimed in. “He’s a stupid old racist.”

“Definitely do not say anything uncomplimentary about your teachers within their earshot,” said Sonia, fixing Sasha with the same terrifying Older Sister Look that Buffy had perfected. She looked back towards Xander with a lopsided smile, took another sip of her coffee, and added, “But yes. He is a stupid old racist.”

“…Uh,” said Xander. Usually, the talks with the girls were pretty straightforward. He did tend to fuck something up in the process, because he wasn’t always good at tapping into his inner Confident Xander, but this was the first time that talking to one of the baby Slayers also involved talking to someone this intimidating. And pretty. Intimidatingly pretty. That described this situation very well. “So. Look. I have something I need to talk to Sasha about.”

“Really,” said Sonia.

“Soso, don’t be mean,” said Sasha reprovingly, setting her own hot chocolate down. “Mr. Harris—”

“Xander,” Xander corrected.

“Really?” said Sonia.

“Again,” said Sasha. “Don’t be mean.” She turned expectantly to Xander. “Xander. What kind of academic thing am I up for?”

Now came the hard part. “Not an academic thing at all, actually,” said Xander carefully. “More like…” He hesitated. “Sasha, have you been experiencing anything unusual in your day-to-day life as of late?”

Sonia stiffened. Sasha’s gaze went down to the table. “So, what is this, some kind of X-Files investigation?” said Sonia, defenses up all over again. “You’re zeroing in on my sister with your perfect suit and your effortless charm and you’re going to cart her off to a government institution to do experiments on her?”

“Okay, first of all, if you want to cover up the weird happenings, you might not want to accuse me of being an undercover government operative,” said Xander, not sure whether he should be amused or concerned. “Second of all, if I was a government operative, I’d be the worst government operative ever, because I did just invite you guys out for coffee. And third—” Something caught his attention. “Effortless charm?”

Sotto voce, Sasha said, “My sister likes dorks.”

“Stop that,” said Sonia to Sasha.

“Do you not like dorks?” Sasha gestured to Xander. “Is he not totally your type?”

Xander decided to change the subject. Effortlessly. “HA HA HA ANYWAY,” he said, hoping to God that he wasn’t blushing. “UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES?”

“Why do you wanna know?” asked Sasha. It wasn’t as defensive as Sonia, but there was something of a warning to the question.

Relieved by a topic of conversation that wasn’t whatever the hell had just happened, Xander transitioned back into the usual Slayer spiel. “There’s a lot of stuff I’m gonna tell you right now,” he said. “Pretty much all of it is going to be hard to believe. When I’m done, I am going to show you categorical proof that my word is good. If you don’t want proof, or if you think I’m a total nut-job, that’s fine, but you need to understand that burying your head in the sand is going to put you in more danger than you’re already in right now.”

“Danger?” Sasha repeated skeptically.

“Danger,” Xander confirmed. “So listen up.”

#fic #never mind the years of wasted time #xander x sonia #why not????#anyway xander as a grown-up is more adorably james bond than he realizes #he has not yet clocked that he's actually a pretty cool dude at this point #sonia has tho.#SOMEDAY this will be a full length fic. but it isn't rn. so.

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by @tessaservopoulos, thank you! ☺️

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

40, though 2 of those are graphics for events/challenges.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

579,021!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

My AO3/main writing fandoms are Yellowjackets, The 100, Once Upon a Time, and Supergirl. I've been writing since I was 12 though, so I've also written for CSI, Criminal Minds, Buffy, Smallville, Glee, Lost, and Friends.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1) let our mercy be the gifts we lay - swan queen 2) Deliver Me - swan queen 3) sharing is caring (it can be fun) - swan queen 4) let me lend a helping hand - supercat 5) it takes two to tango, and other dance cliches - swan queen

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! I did my early fanfic writing on forums and livejournal, where the culture was to respond to each comment. It's actually how i made most of my fandom friends pre-tumblr, just getting into long conversations in fanfic comment threads that would veer wildly off-topic. I really miss that, and unfortunately I do feel like the culture has shifted to the perception that replying to comments is more to ~boost your stats on AO3 (which could just be me being a worry-wort, but it makes me hesitant sometimes!).

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I am so not an angst writer, but I wrote one truly angsty fic for the doctor mechanic angst day, called hands of time where one of the pairing dies at the end. I'm glad I tried it, and I was actually pretty proud of the writing overall, but I'm certain now that I'm a fluff girl, through and through!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

With the exception of the aforementioned angst, all my endings are happy! I can't do it any other way. Any of the established relationship fics are probably the happiest (because any first time fics I usually give a hopeful but not perfect ending, to show that they WILL be happy but it'll take a bit of work which feels the most realistic to me), but it takes two to tango, and other dance cliches is probably truly the happiest ending because it's the fluffiest fic to begin with.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I am very fortunate, I do not.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Pretty exclusively, yes 🤭 I like to write smut with feelings, where the smut is all about characters connecting and working through their issues. I love smut, but it HAS to have depth or I don't care.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have written exactly one crossover for a glee landcomm challenge, and it was a glee/community crossover. It's the first time I wrote a humor fic, too!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I think a lot of my swan queen fics have been reposted on those Russian (iirc) sites back in the swan queen heyday. But I don't think any have ever been stolen, stolen.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I did just get podficced for the first time a few days ago, on let me lend a helping hand! I can't wait to listen to it ☺️

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Possibly as part of a landcomm challenge, but if so I don't remember the specifics? Otherwise no. I'm notoriously a TERRIBLE collaborator, I'm too much of control freak to co-write 😅

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

This is such an incredibly difficult question. Any pairing I've written for holds such a special place in my heart, and inspired me deeply enough to write. The only pairing that's a contender for this title that I haven't written for is Xena/Gabrielle (and that's in part because they're too canon for me to feel the drive for, although I did at one point start a post-FIN fix-it fic, but didn't get far).

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I started a post-Scream 5 Sidney/Gale fic that I was excited about, but lost steam on. I'd like to finish that one day, but I doubt I will. I have a lot of Misty/Nat ideas in the mix that I want to write, though I do have hope I'll write those once I make it through the winter blues.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think dialogue is my strong suit, in part because I write to try and get a good feel for a character and their voice. But I think I get the most compliments on movement/how I describe the physical behavior of characters which always surprises me since that doesn't feel like my strength!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Motivation feels very difficult for me, so I write in weird jags and it's unpredictable (which is so frustrating to me!!). But actual content-wise, I think my biggest weakness is action, especially fighting or scenes without much/any dialogue. They just never feel organic to me, no matter how much emotion/reflection I try to put in there.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Use it sparingly, and only when it won't detract for those who can't read it or it is translated as part of the dialogue. I think it's most meaningful when the translation is part of the story, otherwise you're taken out of the scene to check notes for a translation (if you're like me). Single words, short phrases, or pet names rarely detract in my opinion, even if it's not translated in the fic since you can usually glean the meaning from context.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Friends, Monica/Chandler. It's still floating out there and it's truly terrible 🫣

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

My most recent fic, dust off those rusty strings, is my overall favorite. It's the longest work I've ever written, and I think it's the best, as well. I put a lot of effort into foreshadowing and parallels within the story, and I felt like I grew over the course of writing it. It was also a perseverance project for me, because I really thought I was going to give up after the Yellowjackets finale aired 💔

Tagging: @alinaandalion, @tabithatwo, @toocabaret, @woodenpicador, @lesbiantahani, @laurabenanti, @shinyalice, @tunemyart, @strangesmallbard, and @damelola (and of course, anyone else who would like to!).

hi i just have to ask, what specifically do you like about first kill? i think it’s a cool concept and all and the girls are cute but i just feel like the acting wasn’t that good and it was just really cheesy. i’ve watched up to when they run away from their families. does it get better? i’m still going to watch the whole show i just don’t really understand the hype like what am i missing

okay let me preface by saying that this got really long and i don’t at all mean this directly @ you it just seemed like a good opportunity to brain dump every thought i’ve had about first kill 😅

i didn’t think the acting was that bad (and im usually really picky/sensitive to shit acting which is like 60% of the reason i hate mike wheeler from stranger things lmao) so i don’t really have a rebuttal for that but it definitely gets better after that ep though. the finale is what cemented it for me interestingly enough. i was on the fence until then and then on my second watch i liked it so much more idk why!

but i don’t see cheesy as a bad thing if it’s well done though? which i think it is? i mean it’s vampires like. there’s always going to be some amount of that. if “cheesy” things didn’t exist we wouldn’t have some of the most beloved media. twilight, teen wolf, friends, gossip girl, to all the boys i loved before, heartstopper, buffy, the office, greys anatomy, scream queens. hell, even star wars is cheesy as shit, so is pretty much everything marvel like…??

we should ask ourselves why sapphic media is held to such a high standard in comparison. not everything has to be a work of art, sometimes it’s just fun. i also don’t think first kill falls into the “settling for” category, i actually think it’s a lot better than people are giving it credit for, BUT for those who do see it that way, it should be recognized that if you (as a general collective) ever want “better” sapphic content, you can’t just disregard every sapphic thing you DO have because it’s not perfect

anyway onto what i actually liked about it:

the representation alone in the fact that there’s a dark skinned black lesbian as the main character is practically unheard of

being gay is not the subject of the plot, not a metaphor for the vampirism, but also not glossed over. i cannot name ONE single other lesbian tv show in which their sexuality or homophobia isn’t the primary plot or character development that they go through

the friendship between ben and juliette is SO cute and one of the best teen friendships i’ve seen realistically and enjoyably on tv

cal’s relationship with her family is also beautiful to watch, especially as it would be SO easy to feed into the “black girls are more mature/older” but no! she’s a teenager! she’s a CHILD. and her family treats her as such

theo as an adopted member of the family is one of the best representations of adoption i’ve ever seen except maybe randall pearson on this is us. very rarely do adoption stories ever get right the line between being part of the family but not abandoning where the child came from, and they just get it so well

elinor is an interesting villain (but i won’t spoil it for you), and even while she’s being a god awful person she manages to do it while still being objectively likable enough that you’re actually invested in what she’s doing. most often i hate the villains of anything because they’re just Bad, there’s no reason or logic or anything else besides I Am The Villain. i loved elinor as an antagonist because that’s NOT the case. you see several different sides to her and can understand where she’s coming from even if you vehemently disagree (which, you definitely should disagree lol)

adding onto it, all of the mistakes or “bad decisions” made by any of the character are done in a way that’s very in character, not just a plot device handed to that character for no reason

cal and juliette’s relationship might be one of the only examples i’ve of a lesbian teenage relationship that’s allowed to be unabashedly sexual without being sexualized, which is so important. lesbians are too often either hypersexualized for a straight audience or practically sterile for a straight audience, but first kill finds the balance between allowing them to be realistic in their sexuality while still protecting the fact that they’re minors

the racial metaphors within the legacy/guild are very well done without being on the nose

cal and juliette are the main characters that drive the ENTIRE show. when has that ever happened with two lesbians in an actual full scale tv show?

juliette and cal aren’t roped into masc or femme boxes, and instead are both allowed to wear and present themselves in a wide variety of clothing that’s still in character

the relationship dynamics are what make the show imo. talia & theo, juliette & elinor, cal & apollo margot/sebastian, talia/jack, ben & juliette, cal/jules obviously. they’re the heart and soul of first kill and they managed to flesh out numerous disagreements (of varying degrees) without just making one person start an argument for no reason; again, it’s in character, and never used to demonize one person. you can almost always see the other side with grace even if you personally have an opinion

it’s funny, cute, hot, sad, and a whole range of other emotions all throughout the show, and yeah maybe it’s done a little messily, but it’s pretty rare for me to find a tv show that actually makes me audibly laugh AND legitimately cry actual tears

the chemistry between the actresses for cal and juliette is off the charts and really makes them shine in whatever scene they’re in

calliope is devoted to her cause and depicted as a passionate, determined hunter, but does NOT fall into the angry black girl stereotype (joss whedon take notes please?)

in fact, none of the black characters fall into any stereotypes. it would be so easy for them to make talia some independent woman girl boss but they allow her to be a strong individual while still having the softness and tenderness in her relationship with her kids and her husband

there’s nothing annoyingly stereotypical about the family either. it’s not a feel good story about over coming poverty or racism, there’s no absent father or drug addict brother. it’s just a family, that loves and fights and happens to be black

the writers room is SUPER diverse. this is coming from someone who was previously obsessed with the wilds, a show with a very diverse cast but a bland as hell writers room and it showed. a diverse character list means NOTHING if the people writing them aren’t also diverse, and first kill understands that

the fact that the show can have lines like “it was no match for the gods of olympus, so why would i be immune to the insanity of first love?” and “you are my mother?” in the same show and neither feel out of place is something to be commended

calliette isn’t just a side plot sprinkled in throughout the show in 2 minute increments, they ARE the show

the soundtrack slaps

and this is just off the top of my head

additional thoughts on this topic (i’m sorry, but i warned you it got long😅):

i think people are forgetting that it’s a pilot season of eight episodes with a budget of about $3

pulling characters out of archetypes, fleshing out lore, complex plot, deeper character dynamics, better budget, more nuanced script, etc. all come AFTER the first season. tv shows aren’t what they used to be; you don’t get 22 episodes to make your case. when you have to introduce an audience to an entire world in eight hour long episodes, you’re going to have to fall into some predictable storylines, some cheesy writing, some basic character layouts

“this line was cheesy” sure, but did it tell you what it was supposed to about the characters in the scene? will you remember that for future episodes? “the plot was boring” okay, but which characters did what? did that teach you about them? did you figure something out based on decisions they did or didn’t make? “this character annoyed me/wasn’t developed enough/needs to learn xyz” okay, what do you think season 2 and beyond is for?

unless a tv show is intended to be a standalone series, such as the haunting anthology, very rarely do you come to a conclusive and complicated character arc and plot line all in one season. i feel like the popularity of that tv style has created this false sense of what tv is actually like; you’re supposed to leave a season wanting more. if you’re completely satisfied, they don’t have any reason to make another

a great example to me is brooklyn 99; i loved the pilot season the first time i watched it, but after finishing the show it’s one of the worst because of how stereotyped every character is. but… it works. yeah, jake in the pilot season was annoying as shit in hindsight, but it built him quickly and consistently and set him up for five seasons of additional depth and development

point being, it is extremely difficult to convince people to care about and differentiate several brand new characters in 8 hours of content if they aren’t boxed up a little bit

if you’re expecting killing eve, you’re going to be disappointed. if you’re expecting heartstopper, you’re going to be disappointed. if you’re expecting anything at all, you’re going to be disappointed. if you allow it to be what it is, that’s when you’ll really enjoy it

Favorite Fictional Ladies Alphabet C is for: Cordelia Chase

In the realm of TV shows aimed at teens, there are Queen (B)ees, and then there are Queen. Fricking. (B)ees. For me (someone who always enjoys a good loudmouthed bish with low levels of tact and absolutely ZERO respect for the meaning of the phrase shut up), the early seasons of Buffy were kind of difficult, because I frequently questioned who was my favorite B-word: Buffy or Cordelia.

Yeah, Cordelia essentially serves as the reliable antagonist in Buffy’s day-to-day, non-slaying world, and yeah, she’s a pretty, popular, runs-the-school-and-everyone-in-it kind of girl rather than an outsider who instantly commands sympathy, but what of it? An antagonist is, after all, just someone who opposes/causes trouble for the protagonist, and as Cordy herself would point out, being the It™ girl in high school isn’t really all it’s made out to be.

Besides, let’s be honest here: antagonists are not automatically evil simply because they’re arguing with the protagonist, and while Cordelia may be mean, self-centered, and almost unbelievably shallow at times, she is not stupid and she is rarely wrong. Every group of world-saving heroes needs someone with the backbone to say the rude-but-true thing everyone’s thinking, and Cordelia’s more than happy to be that person.

Why she’s my girl:

Despite her overt vanity, callous treatment of wallflowers like Willow, well-cemented status as human-thorn-in-Buffy’s-side, and inexplicable fondness for sweaters knotted around the neck (no, baby, no!) Cordelia commands my undying respect. Regardless of whatever insane situation she’s in, Cordelia is always and reliably Cordelia, aka Cordy, aka Queen C. Whether she’s addressing humans, vamps, or other monsters, she’s loud, opinionated, and ready with an arsenal of insults that sting all the more because there’s a lot of truth in them.

But as cutting as she can be, she’s also (arguably) the least hypocritical of all Buffy’s non-evil characters, mostly because she’s just so straightforward about who she is: not the runner-up, but The Queen. Not a sheep, but a trendsetter. Not someone who tells lies to protect egos or fragile self-esteem. (Remember that time Buffy could hear everyone’s thoughts and only Cordy’s exactly matched the words that left her mouth?)

Her relationship with Buffy and co. is more in the frenemy category than anything else, and she’s just as liable to ridicule/flat-out bully as she is to lend assistance, but she sticks with them (for the most part) despite everything. “Nice” isn’t a part of the deal, and though she’s very clear about that, she’s not the dumb, stone-cold, heartless flake everyone around her tends to think. Yes, her concerns are almost never what people think they ought to be, yes, she exasperates everyone with her skillfully brutal assessments of people and situations, and yes, she never misses the chance to criticize someone’s fashion or lack thereof. But she also gives people rides whenever they need them, staunchly defends those she decides to consider part of her circle, and refuses to accept less than what she knows she deserves. She is a fighter when it comes right down to it, but she’s also a very cool realist—if someone else is willing to do the fighting for her, why should she bother making the effort and ruining her manicure? If a formidable foe challenges just one person to a fight, why should she go along and risk her life?

No, she’s not kind, yes, she makes comments so cutting they’re probably better described as cruel, but she’s also extremely strong, smart, and layered in a way that’s typically not seen in HBIC TV characters both before and since. And every once in a while, albeit essentially never on purpose, Cordy lets it slip that her bitchy, shallow, valley-girl exterior actually conceals a beating human heart—a pretty big one, at that—and it’s kind of beautiful.

(What—she can’t have layers?)

Favorite quotes: Way, way, WAY! too many to count, but some favorites are:

“It’s like when I go shopping, I have to have the most expensive thing. Not because it’s expensive, but because it costs more.”

“God! WHAT IS YOUR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA?!?”

“People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like the time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike…it was the most traumatizing event of my life, and she’s trying to make it about her leg! Like my pain meant nothing.”

“You think I’m never lonely because I’m so cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It’s not like any of them really know me. I don’t even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes, when I talk, everyone’s so busy agreeing with me they don’t hear a word I say.”

“We’re still all rooting for you on Saturday! I’d be there for you myself if I didn’t have a leg-wax.”

“I just don’t see why everyone’s always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can so relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people just don’t appreciate that kind of effort.”

“‘I aspire to help my fellow man.’ Check. As long as he’s not smelly, dirty, or something gross.”

“You’re sheep. All you ever do is what everyone else does just so you can say you did it first. And here I am, scrambling for your approval, when I’m way cooler that you ‘cause I’m not a sheep. I do what I wanna do, and I wear what I wanna wear. And you know what? I’ll date whoever the hell I wanna date. No matter how lame he is.”

“Tact is just not saying true stuff. I’ll pass.”

[“What about that nutty ‘all men are created equal’ thing?”] “Propaganda spouted out by the ugly and less-deserving.”

"I know what you're up to. You think if you get me mad enough I won't be so scared. And hey, it's working! Where's a damn weapon?"

“I am the surgeon of mean.”

“Oh, God. Is the world ending? I have to research a paper on Bosnia for tomorrow, but if the world's ending, I'm not gonna bother.”

“In fact, I wish all men, except maybe the dumb and the really agreeable kind, disappear off the face of the earth. That would be so cool!”

[“You have no shame.”] “Oh, please. Like shame is something to be proud of?”

“I’m Cordelia Chase, dumbass.”

“I think it, I say it. It’s my way.”

Some notes from the list of songs:

MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS

For the Death Note: The Musical songs, are you using the original Japanese versions or the English concept album? I know I submitted "Where is the Justice?" and "Hurricane" specifically from the English version, but I'm not sure what others did.

"It's Gonna Get Weird" (74) was cut from Gravity Falls. It never actually featured in the show :(

"Prince Ali Reprise" (106) and "You're Only Second Rate" (Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar) are both from the same series/franchise (Aladdin) and therefore should be color-coded.

What villain did the submitters say "Megalovania" is associated with? Not disputing it per se, but I am curious if they're saying it's a Villain Song for Sans, Chara, or The Player.

"The Hammer" (181) and "The Smell of Rebellion" (182) are both from Matilda, and therefore should be color-coded.

I'm surprised "There's a Platypus Controlling Me" got in. It is a song by a villain (Doofenshmirtz), but it's not about his villainy, it's just him confusedly rapping about him getting glued to a turntable while being mind-controlled by a platypus.

I believe "The Devil's Song" (126) and "Die House" (190) should be put together and color-coded, since you did the same for songs from Tangled and Tangled: The Series. Also surprised that Cala Maria's song apparently didn't get any submissions.

"God Shattering Star" (194) and "The Edge of Dawn" (202) are both from Fire Emblem: Three Houses and therefore should be put together and color-coded.

SINGLE SUBMISSIONS

Also surprised that "When the Chips Are Down" only got one submission (which I think might be mine).

"Kidnap The Sandy Claws" (33) and "Filthy Finale" (259) are part of the same franchise, and therefore should be put together and color-coded.

"Rest In Peace" (51) and "Sweet's Song" (52) are from the same episode of Buffy and therefore should be color-coded.

...Is "Sympathy for the Devil" (60) referring to the Rolling Stones song? The source is just listed as "Christianity."

"Against the Black Knight" (89) and "Beauty is a Mad Mistress" (90) should be moved up next to "The Black Knight" (85). Also in both of those you spelled "Path" as "PAth."

Holy shit "One Step Ahead" only got one submission? :(

"With Me" (115) and "What I'm Made Of" (116) are both from the Sonic series and therefore should be color-coded.

"I Want the Good Times Back" (142) and "Les Poissons" (143) are both from The Little Mermaid franchise and therefore should be color-coded.

"Get In the Water" (188) and "Ruthlessness" (189) are both from Epic: The Musical, and therefore should be color-coded.

Workin' Boys, the source of "Made It Work" (215), is also a Starkid production.

Nightmare Time is also a Starkid production.

"Queen" (247) is from Deltarune. The submitter may have gotten confused because she is from Chapter 2 of Deltarune, but it's the same game, not a sequel.

"Your Love Will Kill Me" (281) and "I'm a Priest" (282) are both from Notre Dame de Paris, and therefore should be color-coded.

Since all of the eliminated Starkid songs are very definitely Villain Songs, I'm going to guess that there were just too many damn Villain Songs from Starkid, which is unsurprising. I didn't expect "Cup of Poisoned Coffee" to get in over something like "Show Stoppin' Number" or "America Is Great Again," though.

In hindsight, a lot of the eliminated songs from The Mechanisms don't really qualify as a Villain Song. Curious about why "Ragnarok II: The Calling" didn't make it, since it's half a Villain Song for The Void and half a duet between Loki and Odin (the other main antagonist).

Lusamine really got shafted when you had to make cuts for Pokemon, huh?

All the links to Death Note songs were for the English version so those are the ones I'm going to link in the polls

For Megalovania, one person said Sans and another said Chara or Sans

I'm surprised more than one person put in There's A Platypus Controlling Me as well. We'll see if it makes it past the preliminary.

For Sympathy for the Devil, yes it is the song by The Rolling Stone (I will note that) but the submitter linked to the Guns N' Roses cover so.....I'll deal with that if it actually gets in the bracket. Yeah most people tell me if it's a song from a band and I unfortunately did not look more into that.

Starkid musicals keep coming out of the woodworks. Yes, there were so many Starkid submissions and I had I made a compromise since there are so many but not all the productions are related. So, each Starkid musical that has multiple submissions will get one song in the bracket.

RIP Lusamine. If you got one more submission, I would have had to make a Pokemon preliminary.

I have fixed all the color coding too.

whyyyy do whiny delusional stans keep trying to argue in my anon box, nobody cares about what you tell yourself to sleep at night, how badly you choose to misunderstand someone, et cetera. nobody cares about your opinion carol. not those of us operating in the real world. I'm very sorry you attached your personal identity to a fictional stan narrative but that is a personal problem.

What you seem angriest about, though, is realizing that whatever has changed has put you so beneath me, this is all you've gotten from me since January. Since 2po loves January so much. And then most distinctly since the start of March to the point I've nearly vanished into the aether.

Sure whatever believe what you want lmfao fuck all nobody cares susan currently horny furries are more important to me than your disassociative arguments so take some time to unpack your realistic place in the world and that it does not orbit around your interests or beliefs. Or anyone particularly caring if you're breathing much less opinioning or what those opinions are, karen.

seriously there's some major perspective based psychotherapy that needs done with you lot. I just got a fuckin anon "U SAY UR NOT AN SPN STAN BUT ALL YOU TALK ABOUT IS SPN" [scrolls wall] horny furries, horny furries, fantasy land, GMing, WGA, WGA, WGA, Gotham Knights, video games, kpop, beyonce, all CW tweets, music videos conveniently posted right before those tweets that match them or even in regards to ongoing messaging on almost every social

("Lets Get It", Light It Up/Set the World On Fire/Spell to Burn/Burn It Down/Coming In Hot/3 2 1 BOOM, We're Getting Out, Where Did He Go, We Are The Warriors That Built This Town, Breaking In To Break Out, City Is At War, Revenge, The Hidden Cult, Howdy Business Partner, Keep Your Enemies Closer, This Isn't Walker's Fight Anymore, Nobody Expected This, Never Stop Me Zaddy Dent just turned around and said Don't Stop five minutes later THATS WEIRD, Some People Claim To Be Healers Some Actually Are, Let Go Of The Past, et al and so on ad nauseam),

industry events, paramount, CBS, multiple networks, oh there it is, there's the one SPN post I've been reblogging.

Dude. What you're experiencing is psychosis. By definition. You cannot perceive the world outside of your hyperfixation and determine it is fake and does not exist. You are actually only defining yourself. You can not perceive the underdark roleplay friends talking, you can't perceive other networks, studios, or industry events in discussion. You DEFINITELY won't let yourself fuckin' perceive the song vs CW tweets thing. It is all you understand and talk about, and because you refuse to perceive anything else, you tell yourself your behavior is normal, and scream at others that they must be the same as you.

Get a therapist. You are kings and queens of fictional landscapes in your own head you project onto social media spaces about TV shows. Get out of the way. The real royals are busy GMing for horny furries between shots you don't comprehend. But whether or not you comprehend it, you're the punch lines of the communal joke anyway. It's funny to us, whether or not you get it or how offended or opinionated you get about it.

HELLSMOUTH TASK 01

Who is [your character]?

spike is always changing and evolving as a character , from the wide - eyed hopeful william and his awful poetry , to the infamously bloodthirsty vampire spike , to reluctant ally to the slayer . spike is truly a free spirit , only acting on what he wants when he wants it .

What is their goal? Whether it’s saving the world or graduating college, short term or long term, what is your character looking for?

saving the world , though not for the noble reasons that others may be using .

When was this goal chosen? What triggered this goal? Was it an external event or internal?

since his complicated relationship with buffy and the rest of humanity , his desire to be good ( or at least , less bad ) has taken over his need for control and chaos . being around the scooby gang has definitely affected his personality .

Where do they go from here? This could be either your muses future plans, or it could be answered ooc with what you would like to do with your muse and their plots.

spike is currently trying to navigate his confusing , conflicting feelings for buffy , as well as his budding friendships with the rest of the gang , especially dawn who reminds him so much of his own baby sister who lived such a short time . i want him to have to face reality , to own up to the bad things he's done , and to truly decide to stand on the good side of history .

Why did you choose the quote for your character? An explanation on why the words chosen for your application pertain to your muse. Whether it was a quote that hit you, or it defines them as characters.

spike is and has always been a writer by heart , so he's always dropping these actually bomb quotes about love and relationships and life and death . he's a drama queen , and would definitely be a theatre kid if he was born in more modern times . this quote just kills me everytime , because spike's need for chaos is really just a cover for the need to control things , so that people don't leave him or change .

#hellsmouth.intro #hellsmouth.task #INTRODUCTION. spike #spike is a top tier character ok #my best boy #(the other men of buffy WISH they were on his level)#giles gets the closest btw

twenty questions for fic writers

tagged by @icescrabblerjerky THANK YOU!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? i have 32 works on ao3. i have a few more lost to time in ff.net, devart, and tumblr itself, but i tried to consolidate and focus the ones i care about to ao3.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 524,846. like i said above, i've lost a lot of fic to time and venue, so i know i have written much more in my life, but these are the ones i kept.

3. What fandoms do you write for? dragon age, final fantasy xiv, marvel, and mass effect, though all my mass effect fic was hosted other places and i no longer have it. i've also dabbled in fable 3, but that was exactly one work and it was ben finn/chicken crackfic.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

a champion's expectations, a dragon age 2 fic (f!hawke/anders/sebastian) that started with a cracky idea that was too rich to resist and sprawled a little out of control.

dossiers and snapshots, an unfinished marvel fic (clint barton/hawkeye x natasha romanoff/black widow and a dash of bobbi morse/mockingbird).

a hero's lamentations, dragon age origins (f!cousland/alistair, f!cousland/morrigan disaster triangle).

a queen's regrets, dragon age origins (awakening and witch hunt) fic that explores the repercussions of cousland's choices in dao.

and

food for thought, a little dragon age inquisition one-shot (f!trevelyan/cullen) that came to me fully formed.

5. Do you respond to comments? it's a habit i've gotten into! i was too shy and thought it seemed arrogant when i first started out, but i've come to love the back and forth.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? hmm that's a toss up between a hero's lamentations and a champion's expectations. no one was actually happy leaving those fics, but probably the latter, since da2 kind of lends itself to that tone of ending, depending on choices.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? without a doubt, a herald's faith. it might be my only truly happy ending fic lol.

8. Do you get hate on fics? when i first wrote a queen's regrets i did, but largely on tumblr. people just could not handle my treatment of alistair. oh well, i didn't write it for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? i do! i even fancy myself pretty good at it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? i used to. the only one i committed to for any length of time was a dragon age/buffy/angel fic that is lost to time, and probably for the better.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? i doubt it, but anything is possible.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? someone asked if they could translate a queen's regrets into russian, but i don't know if that ever happened.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? nope! kind of always wanted to, but the idea is a little daunting to me.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? hmm, i think it changes depending on my mood and current fixation, but i think the ones that have endured the longest has been clint barton/natasha romanoff/bobbi morse (with a dash of bucky). i doubt i'll ever write it again, but it's definitely one that has stuck with me.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? any of my hawkeye fics. i think my marvel fandom days are long, long behind me.

16. What are your writing strengths? i like to think i do characters very well. i agonize over every word i write for them, but i like to think i do a good job of it. i have a special love of writing combat. also i like to think i have a good handle on structure at this point in my writing career.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? lol recognizing when i've done something. i am very good at tropes but not so great at realizing i've done one intentionally.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? i like it when it's done well, i guess. it depends on the fic, the fandom, the language, etc. i like it more in original fiction, but i've never quit reading a fic because of it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? if you walk it back far enough, i write babysitter's club self-insert fic when i was about 9.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written? a queen's regrets. it came the easiest to me, was really fun to write, and i still think it's some of my best work. a special mention goes to a secret of bees, a little sif/loki fic that i've always wanted to rewrite and make massive changes to. i will be chasing the white whale that is the style i managed in it for the rest of my life, i think.

i tag @yamisnuffles, @veliseraptor, @leggywillow, and @sketchyfletch. and anyone else who would like to do it!

I hope i got the numbers right 😂😂

Hi, hello 👋🏻 thank you for playing! Cookies for you! 🍪🍪🍪🍪

1. What are three shows in your watchlist that you’ve been meaning to get to?

I am actually the worst for saying “oh, I’m gonna watch that!” And then instead going back and rewatching my old favourites (*cough* JatP *cough*), so I could for sure list more than 3 but, off the top of my head:

Abbott Elementary

Our Flag Means Death

Outlander (one day I *will* finish it, I swear)

16. Describe your favorite hoodie. How long have you had it? What makes it unique?

My favourite is an oversized cobalt blue hoodie, it’s worn in all the right places and the inside is so soft. It’s missing the hood string, but that just adds to its charm.

I got it as part of an outdoor ed program I took in high school, so I’ve had it for..twelve years (doing that math physically hurt me jsyk). It has the acronym of the program and the program year in Roman numerals stitched on it in white thread. It also used to have my nickname from the program stitched on the left arm, but it was related to an ex-boyfriend of mine so I ripped it out a few years ago so I didn’t have to keep explaining what it meant to people over and over again 😅

37. Do you mind if others are in the kitchen when you’re cooking or baking?

In my own home, yes. GTFO of my kitchen. But my kitchen is small and husband has a tendency to stand right where I need to be at any given moment 🙃

I’ve had many kitchen related jobs in the past and never had issues sharing the kitchen space then, but that’s likely due to the fact that those kitchens were designed for collaboration.

46. What’s the last thing a friend recommended to you that you looked into and actually liked?

Well directly, @claire8216 recommended Daisy Jones and the Six and though I have only just begun reading it, I like it very much!

Indirectly, @pearlcaddy influenced me to finally watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer through all her gif making/sharing and of course her fic Some Killer Queen You Are

Ask me some random questions!

#yay questions!#thanks for playing! ❤️#missjoolee #ask game

Recent books, fiction -

K-Ming Chang, Bestiary - a coming-of-age story about a Taiwanese-American girl contending with legacies of intergenerational trauma within a web of Taiwanese folklore. I wanted to love this but ultimately didn't - I found it extremely overwritten, not controlled or deliberate enough in its structure or use of imagery, and far too enamored with its own engagement with the grotesque. There was a lot that was interesting here, but I found it unfortunately nearly unreadable. It seems to be part of a definite trend I've noticed of new novels by authors with a knack for vivid and memorable imagery but who seem to string those images together one upon another rather than giving any attention to sentence-by-sentence construction of prose. I think most of you reading this can probably recognize the style I'm trying to describe here; it's getting increasingly common in contemporary fiction, and I have noticed my own tolerance for it waning significantly. This has been frustrating.

Hannah Chapin, Foul is Fair - YA Macbeth as a rape-revenge story. Very very bad on every level. Skip this.

Kristen Arnett, With Teeth - claustrophobic study of parenthood and unreliable pov characters, following Sammie, a lesbian mother struggling to parent her son and maintain her relationship with her wife over the course of a decade in her life. This was tight and enthralling, but a deeply unpleasant reading experience; Sammie's inability to see the people close to her as full people made me chafe to get out of living inside her head, but it held my attention all the way through. Kept coming to the edges of saying something sharper about parents' denial of their own capacity for violence, but didn't quite go there. I'll be thinking about this for a while, but not sure how much I actually liked it.

Allison Saft, Down Comes the Night - YA fantasy; a disgraced healer gets involved in sinister political magicians to make it up to her aunt, the queen. Solid but unexceptional YA fantasy, enlivened by some gothic tropes it never fully committed to.

Emily Layden, All Girls - panoramic study of the impact of a sexual assault scandal in a girls boarding school. This should have been trite, but was in fact sharply observed, insightful and unsentimental about teenage girlhood. The world of fancy boarding schools is quite foreign to me (though the milieu inhabited by the pre-professional dancer character was not, and Layden draws that with unerring accuracy), but Layden brings that world to life vividly. Likewise, the structural device of writing each chapter from the point of view of a different student could have become irritating but somehow never did. I was pleasantly surprised by this.

Catriona Silvey, Meet Me In Another Life - time loop novel about two people who keep finding each other in different versions of reality. At times touching, but didn't quite land for me; I found something about its focus on questions about determinism versus free will a bit alienating.

Kiersten White, Slayer - I keep reading White's books hoping to enjoy them as much I as I did her girl!Vlad Tepes trilogy, but I haven't yet. This one is published (official? canonized?) Buffy fan fiction, about two sisters born into a family of Watchers after the events of the tv series. It was fine, but didn't draw me in, and I know my lack of familiarity with Buffy canon outside of the show itself put me at a disadvantage.

Sophie Macintosh, The Water Cure - three girls raised in seclusion by parents who taught them to engage in painful and humiliating rituals have to make sense of the world after their father's death. I am always interested in these kinds of narratives and there were parts of what Macintosh was doing that I found moving and elegant, but I didn't find this psychologically plausible. It treads an uncomfortable line between hazy allegory and psychological realism, and I don't think it succeeds. I think Dogtooth did this a lot better.

#books #probably I need to read less ya because I find it so often unexciting #but when it's good it's really fun!
