Random fun fact: i originally intended for my sona Koko and Nebulis to be the same person.
Since I am the creator of my own universe, I figured it’d just make sense for the character meant to represent me was, y’know, god.
But, plans changed, and now they’re just best friends!
Also, it just seemed weird and disrespectful for my sona’s true form to be a POC when I am pale as hell.

Writing ask: 4, 11, 24!
4: Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?
Canon divergence is my favored genre, so my main spark usually comes from the friction I have with the source material, lol. What do I want more of? Less of? If one thing changed, how would that affect everything else? The premise is what I start with, and then it’s a puzzle to figure out how everything else would play out.
I turn things around in my head for.... months usually. Once I feel like I understand the characters, it becomes a lot easier to see how things can play out for them. I guess I try to let the characterization guide how things will play out.
For Still Waters, I missed Rogier, and being able to visit him in the hold after seeing all this wild shit in TLB. I miss helping him out. I miss hearing his rambles about history, even if on first hearing them, they didn’t really make sense to me. I missed him, and I wanted him to stick around. There's my premise!
So then it was just a puzzle of how he could be saved, and how that would affect things. And who would be the kind of person who would save him? How would he feel about this Tarnished that he suddenly needs to rely on? And how would she in turn react to the things she’s being asked to do to make a better world? So on, so forth.
Also, music. I think it helps me nail down the vibe I want to go for. Helps me plan out the “cinematography” of a scene in my head.
11: Link your three favorite fics right now
It's been a LONG time since I've revisited these, so in no particular order, here's the ones I remember really enjoying:
Finding You by Koryandr [OUAT]
OUAT was... a mess. The way things were handled made the drama cheap, at least, that's how I remember it feeling back in the day. This fic took the bullshit from the show and made it real, and it made the characters people. The satisfaction I felt reading it was something like watching an old, busted up machine get unjammed, and watching it start working flawlessly.
All Along the Watchtower by GGMoonyCrisco [Fallout 4]
LOVED it as a character study of Paladin Danse. And the inclusion of Valentine: brilliant idea, to see them really have to work with each other after the conclusion of Danse’s questline.
Idk. Danse is an old blorbo of mine. I’m not immune to Peter Jessop's voice. Sorry. The narrative satisfaction of a jackass being hit in the face with the reality that he is a jackass—I love that. A fic where he actually has to deal with that? 10/10 (It's been a few years but those beginning chapters with Danse and Valentine were great.)
The Path That Moonbeams Make by KnifeEdge [OUAT]
Idk. It blew my socks off back in the day. Again, it's nice to see the characters on this show be people.
24: Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?
I think those old posts you'd find in like, the "writing tips" tag about how “The Hero’s Journey” is THE model to follow did a number on me when I first started. (Not that it can be applied to a story, but that it’s something you need to plan your story around, that it's something you should actively have in mind.)
In my personal stuff, it wreaked havoc. I kept trying to insert character/plot points from that model because “that’s what happens next, right?”
But all the scenes I did that with, I ended up scrapping. It just was never a fit for the way I write. Sure, in every other work, this is the part where A and B fight/misunderstand each other and part ways. But not necessarily in mine.
Once I started following the characterization, it got so much easier to realize that A and B don’t have to fight to part ways, especially if that’s not simmering there naturally already. And the fact that they didn’t fight means there’s a lot of other emotions at play when they reunite. And that’s way more fun for me to explore. Stuff like that.
