Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Just because I know everyone (including me!!) loves it so much, I would love to the director's cut of AIRWIY. Just any little thoughts you wanna share about him, or your favourite parts of the story!
Directors cut asks
So AIRWIY’s entire plot came to me in a single shift at work lol. I wrote the entire outline on the sales floor like a woman possessed sending screen shots to cece, carol, taylor and jelly like someone who lost their mind lol. I was the worst manager to ever exist that day.
It was also the longest series I’ve ever written, and the first time a single story has kept my complete attention for that long. Also the first story I’ve ever outlined from start to finish (which now I am in the habit of doing because it really makes everything so much easier lol). It’s also the story on my masterlist I’m the most proud of. 🥹♥️

suuuuusssshhhhiiiiiiiii my love! Thank you for playing with me, and per our dm conversation you settled on the sex worker bobadinluke au series for the director's commentary ask game. Which is gonna be hard since you were there when I was writing it, I'm not sure what I can come up with that you wouldn't already know/vaguely recall, but I'll give it my best shot.
Right away, I'll say that everyone that knows me has dragged me at least once about my fic titles. I'm not great at coming up with them, and usually just pick something at random. At the time I was writing this series, I had this idea of grouping fics together with some very loose theme. Which is why my dinluke stuff mostly have a mando'a words as titles, the big BDL series are all lines from songs by Frank Sinatra, and this series has titles that are all songs from the 2000s. The songs have nothing to do with the fic, except that the one line I used for the title somewhat had something to do with the fic itself. Which I know drives @bronze-lorica crazy, lololol, and I'm sure she'd not alone.
This series started off as three prompt fills. Three people requested "sex worker" from a list of AUs but asked for different ships, and I decided to make my life easier by setting them all in the same, modern world. This series got me by the throat as I was writing, and I'd post a little more, only to be like "Oh! And another thing..." over and over, until there were 37k words of it.
I knew I didn't want to tell an angsty story with this one-- I love angst but I wasn't in the mood--so instead I went with the idea that Luke's a sex worker that's doing this as a means to an end, and is very clear about when the end will be. So, instead of seeing him hit rock bottom and let that be the motivation for the sex work, it's more transitory than that. This is only a moment in his life that we're seeing, and he's very clear about that.
His sex worker style I sort of based on the persona I take on in my client-facing/customer service jobs. Upbeat and patient. "You can trust me" and "We'll get through this together" vibes. And since I like my triads where everyone is a puzzle piece that fits in together, providing something for each person that's unique and different, it synced up nicely to make Din someone with a repressed/religious fanatic background. Luke's very open and non-judgemental, not to mention competent, energy is like Valium to Din. It lets him soften and be more willing to engage in a way that he doesn't really with his bristly husband. Boba's my gruff, blue collar man and when I hit on the idea of him dealing with chronic pain from an accident at a construction site (the Sarlacc building project, he fell into the pit, natch, and then after I decided that, I couldn't stop hearing Andy Dwyer singing "pit. I fell in it, the pit. You fell in it, the pit. We all were in that pit.") it made sense that Luke was able to help him if he was training to be a physical therapist. After that, it was all a matter of teasing those three connection points in different directions to see how the three of them could provide for each other in unique ways. That's really where the plot (such as it is) came from. Writing it was a really organic, natural process, which isn't normally the case for me. But, I guess, I started off knowing the characters in this incarnation really well (and with faaaaaaar more clarity than usual) so it was mostly a matter of seeing where that would take me.
a while back I was 1.5 hours into watching the 3 hour director’s cut of kingdom of heaven with @agarthanguide and thoroughly enjoying myself when I was struck with the dawning realization that I am never going to be able to convince anyone else to sit down and watch the full three hours of this with me and she was like, with audible glee, “you’re definitely not!”
Some attempts at a design for Selena :3. The second image is inspired by the wedding in Haunted Castle, but I changed Simon’s outfit cause idk I just can’t picture him being comfortable in a suit.
The last two of these are way more headcanon-y lol. They’re under a cut mostly in case my headcanons and story ideas change d(^^ ). One of them was inspired by a Kikuo song I was listening to while drawing lol, the song “Let’s Go to Heaven”.
So funny story actually, Whatta Man orginally started out as a three part bartender!eddie series that was going to be kind of an enemies to lovers with us being the new bar back with zero experience.
It wasn’t until a conversation with @usedtobecooler that sparked the idea of Steve being a bouncer who wasn’t very good at his job, which then sparked the idea of having them both work at the same bar.
This convo followed by a rewatch of Coyote Ugly and my love for that pic of Chris Pine looking homeless in a robe sent the idea of a whole new AU into motion and then the rest is history.
You know how out there it's full of memes about the wind farm in Death Stranding being its own circle of hell? That's the Junk Dealer/Chiral Artist mission for me. Hated it the first time around, and now that I'm older, wiser, and generally better at this game, I still want to punch them in the face
(oh and I went into that mission severely underequipped, but that's on me for not double checking when resuming from my last save)
Anyway, first things first. One of the improvements of the Director's Cut is that hot springs have rubber ducks now.
The moment I got to the Junk Dealer and saw Her I got war flashbacks
Fucking manic pixie dream girl...
Her asshole boyfriend sends me to:
- retrieve equipment in a ghost infested area while simultanously not letting me fabricate weapons at his shelter
- dispose of his garbage by *checks notes* throwing it in a tar lake
On a doylist level, this is a tutorial for when you'll have to do this with a nuclear bomb later in the game. On a watsonian level, this doesn't seem very environmentally conscious to me??
- lastly, I have to deliver that fucking hourglass to her but I have to carry it by hand because it's extra fragile which in layman's terms means I have to play this whole stretch of the game long pressing R2. Did I say that npc is an asshole?
Unfortunately, once you deliver the hourglass you are ambushed with this surprise
She's like, take me with you to the love of my life. And you, Norman Reedus, are like: okay sure why not. Naively you think you're going to experience taking a stroll with an npc companion. AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER SENDS HERSELF AS CARGO IN A BODY BAG
Like girl? You are young and able bodied? You can use your legs to do quirky silly little poses and not to climb a couple of slopes? Also 45kg? Does she have bird bones?
Also why does she moan so much at random times while I'm carrying her like she's supplies for a Himalayan expedition. Is the body bag a fetish thing. Ma'am this is a Wendy's.

Did you ever consider a different ending for 'make that kitty purr'?
I cut down Make That Kitty Purr extensively. It was originally much darker and very sinister.
But, if anyone is interested, I would love to revisit this story and present it longer, thicker, and uncut (😈). I do have to rewrite it though. So, maybe by the end of the weekend, we can have:
but now that we're finally getting one I don't want it
I do not have faith this is going to be a good adaption, I'm sorry, maybe 10 years ago this could have been a great passion project (especially if Gore Verbinski had been involved like originally planned) but I just know it's going to be an over-actioned, improperly funded (since it's a Netflix production they're absolutely going to either dump too much or not enough money in it then write it off as a failure if it doesn't 'perform' well enough), CGI-laden slop fest that doesn't even acknowledge or properly handle half the themes present in the series.
