chickenswithsocks replied to your post “I know nobody cares about any of the writing that I’m doing that’s not...”
I am very interested in writing that's not ifmlam but also quite INTIMIDATED by how much it seems to be
yeah gay murder elf bachelorette at least did really grow into.....three different novellas and book 5 is at least a fourth might be even more ridiculously long than its predecessors, the good thing about it at least is that the proper two parts that are actually written in-universe, Book 2 and Book 4, are both stand-alone enough that one doesn’t reaaally need much more context than their introductions to have fun with the story and all the correspondence continuations are mostly posted for sake of completeness, not any actual Story Impact
(otherwise oops I’m actually waiting to finish the full series before I start posting.... at least trash novel, Numanok Files might get posted as they are finished, and I helped beta-read?? and co-write an episode of?? a really cool sci fi story podcast, which I will definitely be screaming about when it comes out, and I-swear-I-will-actually-finish-soon my lesbians in space hadestown fic which requires no knowledge of hadestown to read as it’s all just direct greek mythology anyways and has a bunch of very cool real science viewed through a quasi-mythological lens I’m so happy with how it’s coming out, so there will soon be a lot more Options of My Writing That Isn’t Ifmlam available)

Can you tell us 10 random facts about you? I would love to get to know you better but I'm not sure what you are comfortable sharing with us. Thanks I love you so much you're the best writer in the fandom (in my opinion)
nbkdfjchgndkf aww you’re so lovely, thank you ;w;
Now the fun part.....thinking of 10 things pffbhfjg. I cannot for the life of me think of interesting things about myself so I just googled ‘icebreaker questions’ and found ones I liked (then threw in some otome questions at the end uwu). Hope this will suffice ^w^~
Under the cut cause oops I rambled~
1. If you could go back in time to any era/period, when would that be?
Probably the 1920s. Great music, movies and radio are these new and fancy things and its right before the stocks crash so everything is alright! For real tho, for the jazz music alone, the 20s, yes pls.
2. What’s one food you cannot stand?
I must align with Fenrir in our stand against tomatoes. I just cannot eat them and how people can eat them raw is just so gross to me. If I can’t taste them, all good. But when I can, they taste like a bad cordial drink that’s too watery. No tomatoes in this household.
3. What’s your favourite non-otome game?
At the moment, I’ve been in love with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Never played a FE game before so I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I love it. Of all time, though? Pokemon. I am SO excited for Sword and Shield. Team Sobble all the way~!
4. Where in the world do you most want to go?
I want to go back to Japan now that I appreciate more anime than I did when I went 4 years ago. Would also love to go to Greece, I feel like that would be a nice pretty place to go to.
5. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
I’ve always been an “I want to read minds” type of person, but recently I’ve liked the idea of either telekinesis (making myself or other objects float would be hella useful) or ice magic (through no other reason except for instant ice cream).
6. Between IkeSen, IkeRev and IkeVam, which world would you want to live in the most?
...just to torture myself hrekdfndf. As much as I love the warlord boyos, being in constant danger with the wars would just not bode well for me. So it’s either magic....or aphrodisiac vampires.....honestly, Cradle sounds amazing, but 19th century France and the chance to talk to historical figures AND the worst danger I’d likely have is being goddamned kidnapped like MC always seems to be...yeah, I choose IkeVam.
7. What’s a useless talent you have?
I’d argue writing but I think some of you would yell at me for saying that hridkerdts. uhhhhhhh....I can do a relatively convincing Togepi noise from Pokemon..woo!
8. Of the Cybird characters based off of real-life people, who was the most interesting to learn about?
Little background for this. I personally enjoy researching and learning about the IRL counterparts to the hot anime men they’re based on, both for curiosity and also research for writing to make sure they’re in character (is that weird? idk). For IkeSen, Mitsuhide and Motonari were super interesting to read about, even if the info on them compared to the others is relatively sparse. Ieyasu and Mitsunari’s big historic fight was my personal favourite event to learn more about, though. As for IkeVam, definitely Dazai. I already knew a little about his character from BSD, but this version of Dazai had me much more inclined to look up articles and even buy his book No Longer Human to read (which I highly recommend, it is such a good book and study for his character since it’s considered a semi-autobiography). I actually intend to do a big speel on Dazai and his character like I’ve done with my other favourites because I honestly think his life was just...tragic. They all are but...bias gredknrd. 
9. Favourite fanfic troupe?
Mutual pining is my blood and soul. Fake dating and ‘there’s only one bed’ coming in close behind, but in truth I love them all~
10. What inspires you to write?
I just like sharing my dumb ideas with people who might like them. It’s still insane to me that people like what I write and knowing that makes me want to produce the best fics I can. It’s just a positive feedback loop and I’m here for it :3
