I FINALLY finished reading On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong and it was my first time reading something so beautifully written in English. It was overwhelming and so transparent even in its complexity. Now I'm reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and I'm already emotionally attached to Theo I just resonate so much with the way he thinks and perceives things but I'm only a couple pages in so I'm excited to see if that's going to change since I always jump into reading books with zero information about the story or anything going on..

My darling, for your fic writer asks: 3, 11, 18, & 24, please and thank you. 💜
tysm for asking im- :')
3. What was your first fandom?
- gfhjdkgghfjd I was 11 and it was 1980s British ice dancing couple Torvill and Dean, niche, I know.
11. What's an idea for a fic that you'll probably never write?
- I started a King Aemond fic that I absolutely adore, but have lost motivation for, so probably won't continue. Aegon refuses the crown, and the Small Council agree, after little persuasion, to perpetuate the story that Viserys named Aemond as heir. Aegon becomes a member of the Kingsguard to take himself out of the line of succession, with the promise that when the war against Rhaenyra is over, he will be allowed to live out his days in the pillowhouses of Lys. Aemond gets everything he wants - the crown, the queen, the legacy....... or at least that's what he hopes. It's Helaemond heavy and I thought it would be a hit, but it's not, really.
18. Is there some headcanon you've included in more than one fic?
- yes, lots! I tend to stick to the same headcanons and incorporate them across my fics, for example:
- Helaemond: even after Helaena marries Aegon, no one really cares if Aemond sleeps in her rooms, even when they get older. Everyone assumes Aemond is too dutiful to allow anything to happen, and Helaena is too simple to betray her marriage vows. They can hide in plain sight. This idea creeps into quite a few fics.
- Helaemond: Helaena wore a blue dress on her wedding day. Alicent and Viserys chose her husband, and so they could at least allow this. Her favourite colour is blue; blue for Dreamfyre, blue for Aemond. His favourite colour is blue, too. Blue for Dreamfyre, the first dragon he ever rode. Like with many other people's Aemond fics, the colour blue comes up at significant moments!
- Billy Washington x reader: on your first proper date, you smelled of lavender soap, and he associates you with lavender now. So he buys you sprigs, he buys you lavender trinkets. It is now his favourite smell, and colour.
- Lord of the Rings, Elrond x Celebrian: according to one version of the history Elessar, Galadriel gave it to Celebrian after Celebrimbor gave her Nenya (essentially a jewel with ten times, a hundred times, the power of the Elessar). It is customary amongst the Noldor for the parents of a woman to give a jewel to the man she intends to marry, as a symbol of their approval of the match (hence why Galadriel bestowed it upon Aragorn in the book - amongst other reasons). Now, Celebrian was thousands of years old come the War of the Last Alliance, and my headcanon is that she gave it to Elrond not only as something for him to use to heal others on the battlefield, but also as a sign that she would marry him once the war was over. In return, he gave her one of his circlets as a sign that he entrusted Rivendell to her care while he was away.
24. What's the cringiest fic (affectionate) you've ever written?
- oh god, I 've been writing fanfic since I was 13, there's a lot of nonsense out there! But I don't think there's anything that I truly cringe about looking back? I never wrote anything hateful, never wrote real-person fanfic. Maybe Thranduil x wife? Because that man is gay, and I truly believe that.

Hey you just slept for about 13 1/2 hours. What the fuck
Yeah well we just slept again for 13 hours so you're not special. Also let's never do that again because I feel like I've been hit by a truck

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?
