#final fantasy #final fantasy series #dissidia #wip #It's supposed to be a “redraw” of DJ Technorch's ~Centrism~ album cover #I don't know why I decided to be convulted and do not 1 but 2 FF characters for this since the cover only literally has one but ifnkdjsksll #I guess it made more sense in my head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Also I think I made the mistake of making the background look so DARK and I'm so sorry-

[artastic-friend]

I UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER OF DJ CULT I AM ASHAMED OF MYSELF /lh

10 of y’all have the keychain in your cart and I only have 5 left currently in stock 💀

Don’t worry tho I ordered 20 more! But now I’m worried that maybe that won’t be enough either XD

Might have to order even more afterwards-

But I’ll just see how things play out I guess!

I’m just one little guy after all! :0

Also I am planning on making more designs too!

Especially Classic Music Man and the minis (already have a wip for them)!

But man- I was not at all expecting this tonight- I thought I’d just do a soft open and then wait for tomorrow to make the big announcement post 💀💀

Never thought my soft announcement/opening would immediately lead to so many orders bahahahf

Thank you guys so much!!

#random rambles

[silenthillmutual]

my buddy @doomednarrative tagged me in a fic writer's ask game so ^_^ let's do this!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

on my current account i have 154. being unemployed and hypomanic during lockdown will do that to you.

2. What is your AO3 wordcount?

895,907. i can't tell if that's a normal distribution for my fic count or not.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

at the moment: silent hill, bloodborne, and pathologic. most of what i have up there is for pathologic. i've got other fandoms up there though.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

eight, thirty-one - 1899 kudos (danganronpa)

to quote mika, age 35, of beirut, lebanon: "where have all the good (gay) guys gone?" - 1066 kudos (danganronpa)

(they long to be) close to you - 1021 kudos (mob psycho 100)

all jotaro wants for christmas is kakyoin (and he screws that up) - 810 kudos (jojo's bizarre adventure)

anticlimax - 796 kudos (danganronpa)

5. Do you respond to comments?

i've responded to most comments i've gotten, though it's always months late because i tend to read the e-mail first thing in the morning, head to work, and completely forget to respond. responding feels more personal. i know i'd be more likely to comment on someone's fics if i knew they appreciated it, so i try to make the effort, even if i struggle to know what to say.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

god this is old as hell but probably life in technicolor/the end of all things. they're life is strange style aus for one punch man and genos dies at the end of one of them, and at the end of the other the city is destroyed. the fics are connected, but i won't say how.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

so tired, so tired, my heart and i (pathologic) is probably the sappiest i've ever written a fic so i'm guessing that one!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

occasionally. i got transmisogynist hate for when you finally get inovlved, face to face for writing chihiro as a trans girl, and it made me stop writing for danganronpa altogether. i got a guest user on some burakhovsky nsfw i posted (idr which one) who said "jesus christ, tag your trans shit". and someone who went off on me years ago called vita in motu (pathologic) "borderline mpreg" and they very much meant it derogatorily. so if i seem a lil paranoid about interacting w people there's a reason why lol.

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

i do! i actually write more smut than i post because i am not showing everyone my oc/canon smut. like some friends will be able to see it but i'm not brave enough to show the whole world that. also a lot of au smut recently that has no context and i'm not posting it to ao3 without context.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?

i did moreso in the past than currently. we're not gonna talk about the craziest one though<3 love and light

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

nah. i've had people write fic very inspired by stuff i've written but not copy-and-paste stolen, to my knowledge

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

people have asked but as far as i know it never happened. always thought it would be cool!

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

yes!! w my buddy dj :) also published rps in the past that i shaped up into fics.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

mulder/scully is The Ship Of All Time to me. the blueprint.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

oh there's a few!!

a rebel without a case rewrite that i started because i wanted to fix what i saw as timing issues in the film.

an akira/mob psycho 100... crossover? au? both? i had some real ideas for that one but it's not going anywhere

a silent hill au for mob psycho 100 that apprently someone was interested in enough to try and make their own while referencing mine. it was an audience participation fic and i'm honestly upset that i lost steam on this one because it was a lot of fun!

a magnus archives statement from artemy burakh. the idea behind that one was that he saw daniil die, and then be replaced by another actor... but artemy's the only one who noticed the different actor.

literally dozens of pathologic fics that i have started like you have no idea just how much i have started for that stupid game.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i'm not sure! my partner says i do vagueness well, and the unease that comes with that. i think i do decent at introspection in general

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action for sure. i tend to do better with thought than with action, so i can write really long scenes where absolutely nothing hapens. kind of an issue!

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

i don't really do it because i only know like...extremely basic german and i feel it'd be a disservice to other languages to just google translate. i will occasionally describe characters using sign, but again... not knowing it, i don't feel comfortable just saying shit, you know?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

i wrote something like fanfic as a like, eight year old? for a book series i can no longer remember. but for first published fanfic it was either bones or soul eater. those fics might still be out there, who knows!

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

i don't really have one! i'm still really proud of o tempora, o mores (pathologic), vita in motu (pathologic), and my mind has changed my body's frame (bloodborne) <- less sure of that one bc not much feedback but y'know!

who shall i tag.... @stvlti, @brodyliciousbooty, @loudmound, @go-go-devil, @shogoakuji and anyone else who writes, consider yourself tagged :P !

#icarus.txt #ominous fic talk #if you write and i missed you in my tag it is NOT on p urpose i promise #my brain just. poofed out of existence.

[hoodie-buck]

it's the sound of your voice that calms me

instead of tbt, here, have this drabble i worked on instead of any of my wips. this is once again completely dj’s fault @djdangerlove for this post. anyway, hope you’re happy with yourself 😏😅💙

rated: g | words: 855 | read on ao3

Eddie’s head is pillowed over Buck’s thigh, the two of them lying in bed, winding down for the night.

Buck’s sat up a little, phone in one hand, his other carding through Eddie’s hair, pulling lightly on the ends. Eddie relaxes into the touch, closing his eyes as he pushes his head further into the comfort of Buck. The blanket is wrapped around them just so, Eddie’s arm wrapped around Buck’s bare chest.

There’s a bit of a storm outside Buck’s large loft windows, droplets of rain sliding down the glass as they go, mild thunderstorms rumbling in the distance. It’s nice, peaceful even. 

They don’t get too many nights like this where it’s just the two of them, basking in the warmth of the other.

As the pitter patter of rain falls outside, Eddie’s only honed in on one sound, Buck’s eager voice completely captivating him.

“Did you know Jupiter’s gonna be closer to the earth tomorrow than it has been in fifty-nine years?”

Eddie did not, though he does know it’s Buck’s favorite planet, his boyfriend always telling more facts about it than the others.

“Yea? We should look for it together.”

Feeling those piercing blues above him, Eddie turns his head and looks up, the dopiest smile spread across Buck’s face.

Buck keeps reading then, Eddie settling back in, placing a kiss to Buck’s thigh where his head is resting.

“It’s the third brightest object in the sky right after the moon and Venus.”

Eddie hums in acknowledgment, Buck continuing on. 

“Hmm,” Buck says, pausing for a moment, clearly caught up in whatever he’d just read. “It says Jupiter can’t become a star and that astronomers even say it’s a failed star. It’s not impossible I guess, but it would need like—70 times it’s mass to obtain that.”

Eddie listens to every word that falls off Buck’s lips, something about his Wikipedia searches soothing the both of them. While Bucks gets serotonin from the words, Eddie gets it from Buck’s voice, every word off his lips more calming than the next. 

So, when Buck doesn’t say anything for a while, Eddie becomes a little concerned. Sure, his boyfriends been known to get lost in his fact searches sometimes, though never enough to stop telling Eddie about them.

Looking up, Eddie finds Buck deep into his phone, those blues of his looking a little sullen. That just won’t do.

Reaching up, Eddie cups Buck’s face, tilting it away from the screen. 

“Hey, you ok?”

Buck shrugs, giving his obvious sign of deflection. Sliding the phone from his grip, Eddie looks over the article he’s reading, one that’s all about Jupiter being the ‘broken planet.’ 

Oh.

Setting the phone to the side, Eddie sits so he’s over Buck’s lap, their thighs pressing together in reassurance. Their eyes meet, warm brown holding icy blue, Eddie linking their hands together and bringing them up to his lips. He peppers kisses over Buck’s knuckles until Buck parts his lips, letting a sigh fall from them.

“Baby, Jupiter isn’t broken and neither are you.  Just because we can’t do everything doesn’t make us any less, yea?”

Buck nods, sniffling a little, Eddie moving to place a kiss over Buck’s birthmark, one that’s soft and tender, Buck leaning right into him, those strong arms of his wrapping around Eddie and pulling him impossibly closer.

“Besides,” Eddie whispers into Bucks ear. “You shine brighter than any star from above.”

Bucks huffs a laugh into him, their lips meeting for a chaste kiss.

“You’re ridiculous.”

Eddie shrugs. “Yea, but it got you to smile.”

Buck ducks his head, smiling once more, the smile private, like he reserves it just for Eddie.

“You know ugh, you know stars don’t actually twinkle though? They actually only appear to because—"

Eddie cuts him off with a gentle hand pressed to Buck’s lips, shaking his head with a fond roll of his eyes.

“No more Wikipedia tonight my love.”

Buck nods into him, Eddie slowly removing his hand, only to replace it with his lips, the two smiling into each other.

Eddie rests his head over Buck’s chest, the other man moving to tuck his head over Eddie’s, their arms wrapped tightly around the other. 

The wind sways outside, pushing the rain as it goes, a few bolts of lightning lighting up the now darkened room. 

“Did you know that lightning can strike upwards?”

Eddie has to stifle a laugh. Buck doesn’t even need Wikipedia, the man a walking funhouse full of facts. Eddie loves him.

“No, I didn’t. Tell me about it.”

And so Buck does, Eddie settling in once more, letting Bucks charismatic voice lull him to sleep, the storm outside distant in comparison. 

Eddie could listen to Buck go on for hours about almost anything—Hildy was out of the question. As for the rest, Eddie was game. He would do anything to be close to the man, even sitting through an endless string of random facts. To Buck they were fascinating, Eddie finding Buck the most compelling of all.

Fanfic Writer Questions

Thank you for the tag, @optiwashere!

Tagging @seventhscorpio, @night-dark-woods, @linka-from-captain-planet and whoever wants to consider themselves tagged.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

15 works at time of recording.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

14,232 at time of recording. I'm a short story girlie.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, only BG3. Before this, I used to write for Destiny (and I can be tempted again if The Final Shape is any good/has some good Awoken food) and Overwatch (lol. lmao.) IDK why I gravitate to writing about videogames. I guess that video game writing is more "open-ended" and thus creates more nooks and crannies for me to get my fanfiction claws in?

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Unsurprisingly, they're Overwatch ones, given that it's the largest fandom I've written for. 1. Thaw (Mercy/Pharah, 159 words, Explicit) 2. Theobroma (Mercy/Pharah, 390 words, General Audiences) 3. Liebesträume (Mercy/Pharah, 1824 words, General Audiences) 4. Our Lady of Mercy (Mercy/Moira, 972 words, Explicit) 5. to pretend (Nocturne/DJ!Shadowheart, 225 words, Explicit) Kind of feels like exposing an old shame, to link this here, lol. But hey, stats are very silly -- they say more about the popularity of the pairing than about the quality of the work, in this case.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to! I am in the very awkward situation of someone posting comments on my destiny fics a long time after I published and I haven't responded but I think about responding a lot but the more time it passes the more awkward it is...

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Deliverance, arguably? Petra Venj gets Taken. So yeah. (The Savathûn tag is there because the fic was written back when we thought Savathûn had acquired the power to Take)

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

Liebesträume is, as per the notes, 100% high fructose fluff syrup.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

At time of recording, I haven't.

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

I do! The kind that doubles as character exploration. (although I have written pure self indulgent shit that I had to get out of my head somehow, like i rejoice in my sufferings for your sake)

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

I don't, at time of recording. There's a BG3/Destiny crossover that lives in my mind but haven't written anything for it (yet?) It's very self-indulgent.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

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

No, unless you count brainstorming with friends and me translating that to fic (pretty much how burn our effigies was born, actually!)

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

I... don't think I have an all time OTP or anything? I have, like, a fave for each fandom, that's it. And I'm also a multishipper, so... For BG3, my current obsession is Shadowheart/Nocturne.

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

I've been kicking around a thing about Petra Venj's exile in the City, but I struggle to make it a coherent, cohesive thing, instead of a bunch of Situations. Same for loss.pdf, tbh

16. What are your writing strengths?

I want to believe it's characterization. But I'm obviously biased.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting. Plotting. Plotting.

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

It's actually a huge pet peeve of mine lol at least when it comes to real-world languages. It's something that is often used to add some flavor to foreign characters ("No, mon cher, I expect you to die", said the Spy) in a way that doesn't match how multilingual people I know speak other languages! For example, when I'm talking in English I'm talking in English, when I'm talking in Spanish I'm talking in Spanish. I often forget how a word is said in one language but remember it in the other, or some grammar quirks from Spanish make their way into my English. I may be on a call with a friend and speaking in English while we play videogames, and I cuss in English in those cases -- unless we have been silent for a while, I have returned to thinking in Spanish, I'm startled when getting killed suddenly and I cuss in Spanish. Not to say it's 100% unheard of to hear examples like the Spy one above, it kind of makes me think of my Galician friends very intentionally dropping a carallo in a convo in Spanish to play the stereotype, lol

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I'm pretty sure I have some Final Fantasy X-2 and Doctor Who fics in some long-abandoned hard drive at my parents' house...

20. Favorite fic you've written?

have you read deliverance did you like deliverance will you read deliverance when will you read deliverance

#hala.txt

[trashangel-dee]

I was tagged by @pixiestickers. Hi and Thanks!

1. How many works do you have on AO3: 31, but I do have few that are "chapters" of one-shots/prompts. So Idk the actual count.

2. What’s your total word count? 96,853

3. What fandoms do you write for?

It's Always Sunny. I did others in middle/HS, and have ideas for others now. But never fully fleshed them out.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos:

1- My Love for you is 98% Pure

2. I Don't Like You, But I Love You

3. We're Throwing off Sparks

4. "It's Not Even That Bad"

5. The 3- Day Getaway

lol, not so happy with a few of them. Kind of weak writing, tbh.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes. I try to. Sorry if I miss one.

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

Life Breaks Dee. Which is probably the one I'm proudest of.

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

Sweet Dee and Carmen Make a Deal.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I did in my old fandoms pre ao3 (i'm sure y'all know the website), but not recently, thankfully.

9. Do you write smut?

Yes. It started out of getting over the fear and uncomfortableness. Then it just became a whatever thing.

10. Do you write crossovers?

No

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of. Doubt it.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? A little. Never got more than an outline.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Of my writing? Charlie and Dee. It's not even romantic, but so many layers to explore.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

AU of Dee and Charlie meeting up years after high school when they're both famous. Also one of DJ from Hacks life growing up.

16. What are your writing strengths?

ohhh, idk. keeping people pretty in character? Description phrasing?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Not rambling.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

Would if it was applicable to the story.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. Though I guess Pokemon, but I didn't know the word fanfiction then.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

ohhh, I don't know. Cold Ice, Warm Feelings, even though I hate the title. Life Breaks Dee is very special to me.

I don't even know who's on here and still writes: I tag @prince-luffy @williamsockner and @howblunt

[crazyexdirkfriend]

for the ask meme, R and/or Z

ty ty!

R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?

Hm difficult to say! With me, it's often more like I'll read a passage of something or a deconstruction of something and be super influenced or inspired by it. And I'd have to credit everything I've read, good bad and indifferent, for a *very* long time to really say what's influenced me. I suppose maybe it would be easier for me to look at specific fics I've written and ascertain what influenced my writing of those specifically. shag, emotionally devastate etc., and two short hours etc. were largely influenced by mixed media fics like Don Juan Manlet King, House of Dirk, Detective Pony etc. that kind of showed how to work outside the bounds of ao3 HTML, and some of the old MSPFA works I would have read as a teenager. Also Henry Jenkins I guess then lmao. Also influenced by social media aus but funnily like, the only one I had read at the time was the doofenperry kpop stan au...so that's lore there.

we were something is influenced by A Christmas Carol and Taylor Swift's folklore, and all of the above. It's also influenced by journey to the centre of the mind fics like Way Stations of the Heart, A Litany etc., and A Thousand Years

eschewal was inspired by the script for the season 1 finale of Steven Universe, Sylvia Plath, and psychology texts I was reading at the time.

lunar calendar was inspired by Moon Song (and I Know The End) by Phoebe Bridgers and a number of stylistically similar fics I read in quick succession with a nonlinear narrative

perpetuity was inspired by Endlessly by The Cab, Emily Dickinson, my nervous breakdown, and many stylistically similar fics I'd read until that point

With regards to like, writers specifically who have written or said stuff that I've found inspiring though, I guess all of the above. Then reading Save the Cat helped a BUNCH with my script-writing, as did reading the scripts for Gone Girl, Fraiser (selected episodes), and Death in Paradise. Stephen King's On Writing was very useful too I found. And recently I've been into this essay by Chuck Palahniuk that's helped me re-look at writing crutches I have. I'm not actually using this when I'm writing fic (because sometimes the reader *does* know because they've read the source text and it can get very clunky to come up with reasons, y'know the drill etc.) but it's changed the way I approach personal work a bit.

I've written too much for this question apologies.

Z: Is there a story you’ve written that doesn’t seem to get much love?

I'm going to be honest I am consistently overwhelmed by the amount of people who read my stuff. I put things out into the ether and then am like WUH when someone acknowledges me. It's a great feeling though.

I supposeeeeeee we were something perhaps, but it's a short WIP that people probably don't want to start until it's done. But I sort of lost steam on it and forget to work on it because I'm not sure many people read it. I will finish it! But it's probably my least popular of the dj fics (aside from my ancient ones from when I was a teenager)

[onthewaytosomewhere]

for the "wip guessing game"....

jealous

❤️ Oh I actually have this in 2 so I'll give ya both - cuz I don't make decisions I don't hafta lol

once in hockey and books

Henry has never seen Bea light up quite as much as she is now, and he shouldn’t be jealous of his sister, but he kind of is. He is standing there watching his sister and this stranger, who is apparently less of a stranger to her, maybe flirt, and he has never once coveted anyone Bea has been interested in, if she is, that is, but this once, he wants to say, “I saw him first!”

and once in Alex's part of the college!AU I have going

He’s not sure he even knows what songs the DJ is playing, but he thinks he recognizes a Taylor Swift one thrown in the mix when some girls attempt to dance with him and Henry. He moves in a way that cuts them off from Henry, bringing him even more into his space. They are out there for so long that Alex has been watching sweat caress Henry’s neck for so long that he’s jealous.

[elskamo]

Drag Race Fanfic

I’ve been getting super into RuPaul’s Drag Race recently and am finding it surprisingly easier to outline a fanfic around the Total Drama guys competing than I am getting on with my other WIPs. I’m still debating whether to have Chef Hatchet steal the IP for Drag Race and rebrand it as a Total Drama thing or if Drag Race doesn’t exist in the Total Drama verse and Chef Hatchet is the first person to host this sort of show. Fic will take place sometime after Pahkitew Island and Ridonculous Race.

Chris and Don will switch out most episodes as judges and Blaineley will be on the panel every episode, 8 out of the 11 episodes will have some of the Total Drama girls guest judging. I’ve started outlining a pic of them altogether for some reason, I’ll probably adjust how close they are and add the background once all the individuals are drawn. Their outfits also tie in to the challenge and runway from the episode they’re on the judges panel for.

The tentative episode names are:

Queens Got Talent

Break a Leg Bitches! (Jen is the guest panellist replacing Don)

Neon Lights (Anne Maria is the guest panellist replacing Chris)

Sweeter Than Sugar (Sugar is the guest panellist replacing Chris)

Dance Til You’re Dead (Josee is the guest panellist replacing Chris)

It’s a Sin (Heather is the guest panellist replacing Don)

Makeup Breakup (Zoey is the guest panellist replacing Chris)

Dreams Come True (Ella is the guest panellist replacing Don)

Home for the Holidays (Courtney is the guest panellist replacing Don)

Queens on Film

Golden Girls

A few of the queens have already been guessed in the Total Drama Writers server, the rest I’m leaving blank til people guess them, the tentative Drag Queen taglines/descriptions are:

The Pageant Queen (Alejandro)

The Quiet Queen (B)

The Perfectionist Queen

The Cottage Core Queen (DJ)

The Grimm Queen (Duncan)

The Gothic Queen (Ennui)

The Dancing Queen

The Picture-Perfect Queen

The Magical Queen (Leonard)

The Evil Queen

The Passionate Queen

The Comedy Queen

The Apocalypse Queen (Shawn)

The Fashion Queen (Tom)

This fic is giving me brainrot and stopping me working on anything else, feel free to send asks and stuff about it. Also feel free to guess the challenges and remaining queens.

on repeat

i'm not great at doing tag games ahhh, but @dirigibleplumbing tagged me, so i'll give this a go -

Rules: shuffle yr "on repeat" playlist from spotify or etc. and post the first 10 tracks.

Manilla Road, "Necropolis" - the Seek & Destroy DJ Tanner must really dig this one because I've head him play it a few times now. K says the vocals sound like a sports announcer calling the Kentucky Derby lolol BUT i think they're cool. i mean, c'mon, they're absolutely giving severian in nessus in gene wolfe's shadow of the torturer-

Entombed in time without decay Never thought it would be like this It feels like I'm living inside a dream But my mind tells me I'm Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis

-but also giving that couple making out in the pit of skulls, lost in an endless cemetery going slowly insane in the iron rose (1973)?? plus this album is from '83 & i feel like eddie munson definitely liked it.

2. Dio, "Holy Diver" - yeah, classic, guess this one is pretty self-explanatory... I did just read what's currently my all time fav ST fic, this time loop fic star of the masquerade by glorious_spoon, and eddie's fav track there is holy diver.

3. Steely & Clevie, Righteous Flames, "I Was Born To Be Loved" - idk I just freaking love this dancehall track from 92, heard it on the radio a while back and put it on my 'seattle wip' playlist, which I was listening to while noodling around with a post-u mich kj/owen story that alas has not materialized beyond a set up and a few scenes. it's always gonna be a kj and owen mood for me. :')

4. Kate Bush, "Running Up That Hill" - for a while in college @dirigibleplumbing played "wuthering heights" like everyday BUT somehow i never heard/took in "running up that hill" until i started watching Pose last year - when it plays at the end of the pilot !!! while that man is picking up angel !!! I just !!!! stay away from her, get a job !!!! anyway, also, max gender, is there a more gender-y song?

5. Afsky, "Tyende Sang" - more metal. first track i heard on Seek & Destroy that gave me a fanfiction oh. moment. like, we are no longer just doing fic research, we go here now.

6. HAAi, "Baby, We're Ascending" - this song is fine/fun, i threw it on a recent playlist so i'm hearing it a lot, but i loved loved loved HAAi's recent Resident Advisor mix & listened to it a bunch. tried to put it on during a philly wedding afterparty last spring but then it was TOO LOUD and we had to leave to the hotel. :(

7. Built to Spill, "Car" - I think this is my favorite track from their early 90s album There's Nothing Wrong With Love, an all time album which i also loved as a teen. good to sing along to.

I want specifics on the general idea I want to think what I should know Want you to do me what you show

gotta just absolutely belt it out. those lyrics are all caps in my head.

8. Sevana, "Lowe Mi" - this has been playing all the time on KEXP's saturday morning reggae show. it's super catchy.

9. Leonard Cohen, "The Partisan" - as previously discussed i love a good time loop story - it's maybe one of my favorite tropes?? the melancholy and bittersweet yearning can be so exquisite, it fully KOs me - anyway, this track is used so well in Palm Springs, under that slow-mo close up on Sarah while Nyles realizes he is big time in love and needs to get his shit together -

10. Florence + The Machine, "Morning Elvis" - this is my Grey's end of season 2 song for Izzy and Denny :((((( I guess 'cause "we are trying to make it through the devastation" vibes + Denny is from Memphis.

Guess whose website has been down all month 'cause he forgot to reup his domain name? Now's a great time to visit it and get familiar with my work. See anything on there that sounds interesting to you (especially my WIP Cortex Prime superhero TTRPG), feel free to holler at the kid.

I'm the kid. It's me. I'm baby.

Anyhow, given the broad instability of social media at the moment, it's important to try and cultivate your own spaces where you can. This is more of a portfolio right now, but eventually (when people give a damn about my work, probably), I'd like it to be a place where I can put people up on game. No pun intended.

re: this !

📊 Current number of WIPs: lmao embarrassingly enough, i have 5 wip fics and i have like 2 drawing ideas that i want to make soon. that doesnt include all the replies im still making and unfortunately i have finals but its all gonna be good!

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP. okay im feeling generous so im posting from two wips, but youre gonna guess where theyre from ^^

“Getting a little excited now, are we?” You purred, pulling your face away from his. He hesitated to break the kiss, inching his lips closer to yours even as you talked. “Sorry, s-sorry. Got a little carried away.” You wondered what got him to be so clingy and affectionate. You’re well aware of him being loving and tender, but it’s another thing to have him absolutely smitten while you’re doing nothing special. Little did you know that to him, everything involving you is special. Even the texts you sent earlier and the ones you sent before. He couldn’t stop thinking about them; who wouldn’t, especially when you were being such a tease?

In swift and graceful steps, your arms slid up and delicately down his sides, not missing the way he shivered and smiled, before harshly grabbing his hips. “You know I’m yours.” “Fuck, I told you not to make it harder for me.” You looked down to see what he hissed at. Turns out you were making it harder for him; his erection was straining against his dress pants and he kept himself from worsening the pain. “Need me to help?”

🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to? honestly, ive always wanted to write a svt fic. i actually already have a story idea in mind for mingyu (delulu much…i know) but i want to finish my other projects first! ive also started writing for dj!chan bc that au is my goddamn Baby

#<3 a lovely anon #💌 ipeginbox #DAMN ALRIGHT i should change the tag bc that isnt even a tag game #also queued bc i have work! #🍻 games

Heya!! I'll drop a ton, answer just the ones you want

❤️‍🔥🔪😅🌾🪡🎡🎨

❤️‍🔥 Favorite ship you have written about?

well i mean, obviously it is the ship that made me go crazy and write 100k and counting, which yes, is the CK OT4 (that's amanda/carmen/daniel/johnny for those who haven't been following my descent into madness) or as i like to call it these days, AC/DJ. started out as just me going "aww they went on a double date!" and, you know, seeing 4 beautiful people and wanting to write them in an orgy, but then it became… a whole thing. and while it often feels like i'm one of maybe 3 people who are genuinely into this ship, it just works for me, and writing it has made me ship it that much harder. i love polycules, i love mess, i love these characters, it's good stuff. (chozen can come, too, but let's see if i have the motivation to expand after s5)

😅 Was there a fic/chapter that you were nervous about posting? Why? lol, how about every single one? but probably the one i felt most nervous about in the list was chapter 4, it was like… ok so far it's been all lawrusso, which i know people like, but is anyone actually gonna want to stick around for my damanda pegging smut?? and i guess people did, so maybe i was wrong to be nervous.

🎡 Your favorite scene to write in 'the list'?

oh for sure the whole amanda & johnny stake-out chapter. whenever i write a scene with those two i end up wondering why i ever write anything else, they are so much fun together. their dialog just writes itself.

🎨 Show us a sneak peek from a WIP!

ahaha oh man. well i don't want to spoil the longfic, so here's something from another random one-shot i started: “Ready when you are,” says Daniel. “Ready to get your ass kicked, you mean?” Johnny taunts, putting up his fists. “You wish,” says Daniel, noticing the way Johnny squints his eyes and (subconsciously? – deliberately?) licks his lips. Oh, this is not gonna take long, Daniel thinks as they bow to each other, short and perfunctory.

Eddie hiding his Appalachian accent in Hawkins

Lots more that I can’t think of right now!!

I’m thinking I’m gonna split it up by location/year, and I’m thinking it’s gonna end up 8 chapters. It’s massive, for me. I’m 8k words in and it doesn’t look like I’m stopping anytime soon.

And I’m gonna sign off with a short snippet:

Mama and Pa are fighting again.

Eddie’s on his mattress in a room on the other side of the house, door closed, and he can still hear them. It’s not as loud and scary like this, but it’s still loud and scary.

It’s the end of summer, and it’s starting to get colder at night, so Eddie knows they’re moving again soon. He thinks they’re gonna find another house like this, a big one with lots of rooms and new people who have the same little baggies as Mama and Pa, but they could be staying in a motel again. He isn’t really sure.

His parents are still fighting. Eddie thinks he hears the word “rent” from Pa and his name from Mama.

He turns over and covers his ears. It’s a shame that school starts next week and not today.

Then, something makes a loud crash. Mama screams, and Pa starts shouting loud enough for Eddie to make out his words, even though he doesn’t want to.

“I know he starts school soon, but I can find a place and a job by then!”

“What if I can’t?” Mama shouts back. “We can’t afford to live anywhere without both of us working.”

“I guess you better find a job, then.”

“Oh, because that’ll be so easy-”

Another crash cuts Mama off, and then both of them are screaming made-up words, words Pa taught Eddie and Mama told Eddie not to repeat.

Eddie rolls off his mattress and onto the floor - it’s not a long drop, the mattress is on the floor - and races to the beat up stereo on a table in the corner of the room. He turns it on and starts flipping through the stations that don’t have static, trying to find the loudest one. He flips the tune dial one more time and lands on it.

It is drums so loud they crash in Eddie’s head. It is bass that thumps the stereo so hard the table it’s on squeaks. It is a voice screaming about life and love and other things Eddie can’t understand. It is music.

It is a dazzling guitar, shifting from one note to the next so fast Eddie has to race to hear it.

He listens to this station for the rest of the day, tapping his feet to the beat and playing air guitar during the solos. He listens to the DJs during the breaks and makes sure to remember the names of the bands: Black Sabbath, KISS, Judas Priest, Rush.

He listens to this station and itches for a guitar to run his hands over, for a microphone he can scream into. He listens to this station and can’t hear if Mama and Pa are fighting anymore until Pa comes into the room, unsteady on his feet, and turns the stereo down halfway.

“Just a little quieter, Ed, I got a headache and people are trying to sleep,” Pa says. His words are unsteady, too.

When he leaves, Eddie sits closer to the stereo so his head is full of nothing but music.

😈✨🎶💌❌🧐🎯🦅💞😬🤲🏻🤭 please! 💖 /🐍

Well good morning snake! This is gonna be a long one 😅

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Not that I can think of right now...

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

No I'm am but an awkward bat! *Grumble grumble* ok people seem to like my writing I think I do ok balancing angst/fluff.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

I actually don't usually play music when I write, but that's because it distracts part of me. Alive or Only Burning, Chucky vs the Giant Tortoise, and Bohemian Rhapsody have been my loop songs lately.

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

They give me life! Please all the comments.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

Major Character Death or on screen SA. Not happening.

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

Depends on the story but yes, I know more now about Finland's temperatures throughout the year, distance between cities, common names, etc then I ever thought I would.

🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?

I can't say I have had that happen yet? But similarly I did get an ask lately with a story suggestion and I told the person that it was something I actually already had in wip. They may have guessed one of the plot points in that 😳 I blame the single braincell.

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Yes to both lol. I generally have an idea of what I want them to be or I get a scene in my head I want to build to, but I don't plan every chapter out.

💞 Who's your comfort character?

Tommi 🐻

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon? 

Either of my two smut one shots 🙃

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

For you my dearest 🐍, you get two:

-While Niko and Joel held back Tommi, he had looked over to make sure his friends were okay and noticed Aleksi had practically pulled Olli onto his lap.

"We don't care what anyone thinks, right baby?" He asked sweetly, giving Olli's neck a light kiss while staring directly into the jackass's eyes with the coldest expression Niko had ever seen on the DJ's face.-

And!

-Joel was holding his hand the way a parent would with a small child's.

"Um Joel? Who is this?"

"He's a fledgling I found."

The fledgling was looking between the two of them widely.

"You can't just take other people's fledglings." Joonas said, nonplussed.

"I didn't! I found him alone and-"

"Ok," the fledgling said, "can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?"-

🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

Blind Channel Ensemble/Blind Channel Ensemble 😏 lol otherwise hurt/comfort and implied sexual content (still working on writing smut but I will imply it all day long lol)

I'd wondered this before and was pleased to hear it confirmed in this episode that I heard yesterday. Because Daniel Kitson seems like a person who would never, ever listen to something like this radio show (that's what I thought, and John Robins clearly agreed with me, from his reaction here), but also, I have noticed while listening to the radio show that some of its features and quirks are very similar to the specific things that Kitson complains about when he talks shit about commercial radio shows and podcasts. A lot of those are pretty common tropes so I figured it's a coincidence, but there are times when the similarities are quite specific, especially when Kitson starts doing impressions of commercial radio DJs. So now that it's been confirmed he has heard at least a few episodes, I am convinced that he's basing most of his complaints off this specific show.

I think at the end there, John Robins was about to say "or just release some of your stuff", I think you can hear him start to say "R-" before cutting himself off. Which is good advice, I think a lot of what is currently on Kitson's Bandcamp and Vimeo pages were not there in 2018 (and while he has now released a lot of his shows, I'm pretty sure there still are still a few more that he's recorded but not released, including one of his oldest ones from before people started bootlegging him so I haven't been able to hear it at all, and I'm still hoping that he might treat us to those someday).

I do wish John Robins would take his own advice to a slightly fuller extent. I guess I shouldn't complain because I love comedians who release stuff on Bandcamp, as John Robins has done, and that's great. But he definitely could have more on there. He's said he won't release Hot Shame because he only has "old and ropey" versions of it in good enough audio quality to release, despite the fact that I really want to hear that show and I have greatly enjoyed plenty of stand-up recordings that have been bad audio quality and/or early/ropey versions. Sometimes both. John, I would pay good money for a bad audio quality early WIP of Hot Shame. Or of the other shows for that matter, he occasionally just casually references the fact that he has recordings of previews for most of his shows and they're often better than the final/recorded versions, and I would love to hear those and compare. Would especially love to hear some earlier versions of Darkness of Robins, but the others too. And of course we're waiting for Howl on Bandcamp, but he's said that'll happen soon.

I mean, I know comedians aren't actually going to release the recordings they make of their previews that they make on their phones and only do so they can listen back and use it to work on the show. I'm just saying if John Robins wants to be a trailblazer in that area, I'm pretty sure it costs very little money for him to throw things up on Bandcamp and I would pay good money to download them. Treat yourself, John. Be the thing that we would also like Daniel Kitson to be. Let us have your audio files. I have noise cancelling headphones and have even gotten sort of okay at using Audacity to turn off echos and static on a rough quality bootleg. John, I would give you money for your old and ropey recordings.
