I was checking an oldish tag on here and saw some of your old asks about Stas where people told you everything she was doing, full transparency and you defended her like no other. Everything they spoke about came to light and we are now or have been seeing since Europe everything and more that people mentioned . So im curious (maybe you’ve said before but i didnt see it) what made you change your stance and open your eyes to her odd behavior especially towards Colby? The asks were pretty blunt and straight forward and you still found a way to curve every answer.

I checked the tag btw because i noticed today that not only did she promote Katrina on twitter, but made a tiktok to her song, told people shes her biggest fan, and has been liking a bunch of C4 edits and pics. I remembered seeing asks talking about her never supporting Kat only Colby so after seeing that i came back here to try and find what else those asks said and saw everything everyone has been saying is pretty legit.

i did say a while back why my feelings changed for stas, but i'll just state them again i guess lol

also holy shit this is long sorry about that lmao

so, originally, when ppl would come to me saying why they didn't like stas, to me it didn't feel like it was a legitimate reason. and i felt that way bc they would come on here, talk about her, but give no proof to their claims. just say that "oh i heard this" or "i think she did this" or "did you see she did this" and to me, none of it was enough proof to throw her off the island, so to speak. i mean, some anons talked about her liking edits as proof enough that she was shady or up to no good. ppl would use her likes on twitter as main example of "see! look how bad she is" and the tweet in question was either not there (bc she probs unliked it) when i would go looking for it or if it was about colby and her… it was harmless and not something like "colby and her should be together. they have something going on".

also, no offense to anyone that sent me asks in during that time period, but i don't exactly have the most faith in the fandom towards ppl outwardly hating on a girl bc she's close to colby. it's happen countless times. the amount of times i've been told that the reason a girl that colby's friends with or hooking up with or JUST STANDING NEAR is bad bc "she just gives me bad vibes"… let's just say, if i had a nickle, i'd be a rich woman. so when it started happening with her, i didn't think much of it. thought of it as jealousy or just over-protective fans.

but things started to change a bit, i would say, by summer. i think after one too many trips to vegas, my liking for her was dwindling. idk if she did something or what (bc at this point i don't remember), but the vibe changed around her and what she was doing. at least to me. not to mention, no matter what she did, it was drama. and that itself was exhausting.

then colby made that tiktok with her. and when he started deleting comments shipping the two of them together, that's when i knew oh, he really doesn't want to be shipped with her and i thought this was him actually laying down the law and finally putting his foot down to all the shipping that goes on between him and stas.

then europe happened. and i fucking KNEW this trip wasn't gonna end well. i felt it in my bones. or maybe i'm just really good at picking up patterns lol

what first started to gross me out, was finding out about her mom posting things. and look, i'm all for a supportive mother. and tbh idk if her mom ever responded to fans. but what concerned me was how much info she was sharing publicly. and then how many fans were searching for her mom, finding her page, and basically narrowing down where they were in brussels and all that. snc have been stalked before, have had their house broken into before, what they DO NOT NEED is someone with them basically giving their every location just bc those fans are subscribers.... or random ppl on her mom's facebook.

that's when i also noticed that her roommate was at least cognizant of fandom drama that had happened not too long ago bc she liked a tweet about it while it was happening. that turned me off quite a bit as well. and i know a lot of ppl bring up stas posting the video from colby's bedroom and honestly…. ngl that flew under my radar. it just didn't feel like anything to me at the time.

and then finally: tomorrowland. the amount of fans that upticked their talks of colby and stas when they were basically forced to hang out with one another the whole time bc kat and sam wanted their own time away (which is fine, don't get me wrong. but it just really didn't help the already existing issue of colby and stas being shipped) was super fucking annoying. i basically was getting upwards of 10 asks a day, and that's a light guesstimate, about the situation. and while i don't mind talking about something…. i don't want to talk about it that much.

then, the malishka thing happened. i literally ignored it on here bc i just couldn't talk about it. at first, i was angry at colby. like why would he post this this is so stupid. but as time has gone on, i've basically come to the lovely realization that stas is the one that posted it (also, according to some whispers i've heard she basically told her subs that she did. idk tho that's alleged). realistically, colby doesn't understand russian. he probably filmed her, showed her the video, and she typed that and posted it. she also had earlier post the pic on his story of her face zoomed in. at least, that's what i personally believe. and when asked what malishka meant, she probably lied or just didn't tell him bc he probably didn't rewatch his story.

bc something to note is that they had terrible wifi in tomorrowland. so he might not have even known about this whole thing until a day later or so.

and what made all of it worst was the fans' reaction on twitter. and the fact that a lot of the fans that came out and congratulated colby and stas for "finally being together" after "all this time of us knowing" were both ppl i followed and ppl my age……….. i basically was about done with the situation. and then of course she had to like a tweet about the malishka thing. and that solidified it for me.

and if THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, they came home from the trip and colby hung out with her one more time right before moving to vegas. he literally told us on xplrclub that he was gonna be THIRDWHEELING in vegas (aka laying it on AS THICK AS HE COULD that he was single), and that fucking night stas told her subs that she was going on a date. and wouldn't you believe it, but it was her and colby hanging out ! along with others, but no one saw them on her story. just her and colby.

after that, colby mentioned multiple times about being single, being young, and wanting to have fun while in vegas. and i think that's when the tides personally turned for stas. she had fun playing house with colby in europe, she had her fun of living the fantasy of what it would be like to be colby's gf, to be Y/N. but reality set in when they came home. i think the last night they hung out, i think she confessed how she felt, and he rejected her. and look, she has every right to be upset about being rejected. i get being rejected, especially by someone you feel you have a connection to, SUCKS ASS. i'm not denying that. however, you caused your own delusions. colby was literally hooking up with six flags girl multiple times this past year, LITERALLY BROUGHT HER TO A HANG OUT SESSION WITH THE CORE FOUR, …..and you think he was into you???? the same man that deleted comments about the two of you together????????? the same man that FOR YEARS has begged the fandom to stop shipping him with every girl he's friends with??????? that man… was into you?

i mean, he went on a (assumed) date with a girl in vegas and stas tweeted like four things that night about being hurt or whatever (idk at this point i don't remember all the details) and then on top of that deleted said tweets. maybe something happened between them. i doubt it wholeheartedly tho. i think she loved the fantasy of them being an item, but he wanted no parts of it.

bc that's the thing: colby loves to tease us sometimes. like with amber. he loves making the fans freak out. but when he does shit like that, he chose to be part of the game. this is the only time he asked not to be included…. and she did it anyway. i don't think he knew the extent of breadcrumbs she was leaving for fans to speculate. i think when he saw what happened with the malishka shit (bc again he probs didn't see it until a day or two later bc of wifi and just wanting to enjoy his vacation) i think stas left a soured taste in his mouth. and then she made it worst by telling fans that her and him were going on a date…. and that was enough for him to be done with her. that's why at kat's bday party he sat as far from her as possible and seemed to not want any parts of the party. and that's why she's talking about being rejected now. bc i personally think they are done being friends as of rn.

i mean… it would make sense too. bc the moment he was hurt by what stas did, who did he run back to after all this time? shea, the original stas lmao

and as for stas all of a sudden being up kat's ass, to be as bluntly honest as i can be, i do not fucking care. i've gotten a bunch of asks about it. i can't be more frank than literally telling yall i don't care. i'm tired of talking about stas. bc even tho i don't like her, and i do think she is a bit of a snake, not everything she does is newsworthy or needs to be talked about. she liked something that implied feelings for colby? who cares. she wrote a poem about him? who cares. she wants to leave comments about how much she loves kat? omg who cares. we all know at this point she wants attention.

STOP GIVING IT TO HER.

Different anon but lol leave it to a westerner to rant about christianity when asked about Islam. You westerners think the world revolves around you and your fake god.

I talk about it because that's all i know about personally and unfortunately as an american it was not just A, but the Only Significant factor in my experience with religion and spirituality growing up--and was therefore Relevant when being asked about what religion I follow (or rather, literally being told which one I Should follow, lmao). Im white, and im only 22--so. i dont exactly have an encyclopedic knowledge on the other religions of the world. so obviously im going to stick to talking about what i Know, instead of making an idiot* out of myself for absolutely no reason.

I don't like Christianity any more than you do. i don't believe in their god--that was literally the Point of the rant. The rant i kept In the tags (with my Personal beliefs) specifically to downplay it, because i know most people, like you, dont actually care. Im sorry if it was annoying but like, you just came into my ask box to try to talk down to me for daring to...

answer an ask...

someone asked Me...

(a literal Nobody...)

on My Own Silly Little Fandom Blog.....

about what faith I subscribe to....

So like. Idk what else you want from me man

#horse.txt #edit: got another ask from this anon where they did make the point that islam/being muslim has nothing to do with race #so i adjusted the part abt me not wanting to be a 'racist idiot' #Because they were right and pretty much proved my point--accidentally or not; i am not knowledgeable enough about islam #to feel comfortable talking about it at length--because I do not want to make a fool out of myself like i literally JUST did #im literally just not Qualified by my own standards--that it why im sticking to talking about what i Do know #i blocked them because it was worded in a very bait-y way but it did deserve acknowledgement

You say drugs like he is into real drugs lol. It's marijuana which is completely legal in a lot of places nowadays. And in the time period of this show, free love hippie types were always smoking weed. I think you misunderstood something. This is not a negative stereotyping because he's Hispanic but rather he's a 1970s hippie character that happens to be latino. I doubt he will be like cheech from cheech and chong

Or something ridiculous. He honestly sounds like a Jensen self insert made to be latino for diversity reasons.

i understand it's just weed but it wasn't legal in the 70s and the "good" people of "society" looked down on people who smoked weed as some kind of gross criminal. like, i'm all for the hippie movement and i'm all for representation in the media, but they could have been like "he's a hippie and subscribes to that lifestyle and politics" and like.... everything else would be understood. i think it's the fact that they specifically equated him, a latinx character, to drugs and made it something at the forefront of his personality is kinda like. grating?? a little? idk it just rubbed me the wrong way. there was so much more to the hippie movement than sex, drugs, and rock n roll.

also i said in the tags of my post that casting calls/character descriptions are ALWAYS super basic and that's not necessarily what the character is gonna be. character descriptions kinda have to be very cut and dry instead of encompassing everything the character is. i'd hope he's not gonna be a stereotype of ANYTHING! i'm sure he'll be a more nuanced character, because main characters always are. i'm not misunderstanding anything. i just didn't like the word choice they used in the press release.

i've said before that i'm reserving judgement until i watch the show, and i generally feel very positive about it. while i'm not particularly interested in rehashing john and mary's love story, i trust the team behind the show and i'm interested to see what other avenues this will open up within the world of the show. that doesn't mean i can't be critical of something i see both as a fan and as someone who works in the television industry.

critical thinking doesn't equal hate lmao. if you disagree with my judgement, that's cool. no biggie! but these are just my own thoughts

My god I am SO GLAD YOU ARE ALL CAUGHT UP. So, yeah, sadly I had the same thought for a second but only a split-second like … what if jred just gets PETTY and outs them or does sth else fucked up?? Or like you said, does it as a heat of the moment kind of thing? Anyway also I need to hear more about what you think about J/2 fall out! I thought about it and I really agree that if nothing was going on, Jensen would have told Jared ahead of time like literally 5 minutes beforehand, right,?? but ALSO I feel like maybe Jensen didn’t think Jared would react so poorly??? Like lmfaoo? I don’t think any1 but the people involved knew (I’m 100% sure misha knew and is involved, I have to be for my hope to hold out) and that all the others like Ruth, Julie mcniven etc just went along with the joke cause they’re not so close to it and they were like! Cool I didn’t know this yeah I wanna be in it too! And Jared just took it personally (I mean I SLIGHTLY get it, I slightly do that it could be a shock without context and warning that your friend and costar of 15 years is reviving the show you did together without you like I can’t hate him for just being shocked BUT - And HUGE BUT why the fuck did he post abt it on Twitter? Like CALL him, call Danneel, idk … why tf would he go and say stuff like he’s gutted, et tu brute, and calling Robbie Thompson a COWARD ?? What tf is cowardly about any of this also that he deleted it MESSY, literally like stop for a SECOND and like get Jensen on the phone don’t do THAT skkkkdjhshs). So anyway. Can’t believe this mess. We thought it was crazy when the prequel news dropped and it just kept fucking spiraling out of control, when I tell you I was WHEEZINg to the point of almost crying when the Jared thing happened JUST BECAUSE I was like I cannot believe this keeps getting more insane. Literally wtf is happening!! Also the j/2s we’re so sick about it, I went to check the tag out of pure curiosity and I felt myself even feeling bad for them. Like, not even getting into the whole jred debacle I literally don’t care about him but just like imagine being on their side and THAT happening in front of your eyes knowing he didn’t even tell him and maybe they kinda hate each other now, rumors of unfollowing each other etc like DHJSJDJ. DAMN. But also i agree that the copypaste j/2s summoned this. Hate just can’t and won’t win, sorry lads. Any onslaught of j/2 copypaste and cockles hate WILL result in something cockles-positive, it‘s like the law of the universe at this point. We love to see it. -🐸

frog anon my beloved <3 always nice to have you in my inbox <3 i secretly subscribed to the j/2 fallout theory for a while already and only started to wonder if i was wrong when i saw them interacting during the online panel a few months ago, but now i'm sure that something happened between them. like. i am going through the j/2 fallout tag right now and it just all adds up tbh. he didn't even congratulate jensen on the win in january, nor did he post anything for his birthday, and now this. idk idk. i don't think they had a fight but i do think jensen is kinda done with some of his bs.

and yeh i get why jred would be upset that he didn't know anything about this, seeing as it was a show they BOTH were on for 15 years, but like you said, take it the fuck offline dude like wtf. especially the robbie tweet was like??? insane? anyways yeah i'm still not over it lmao

'ello, currently in a bit of a predicament. im running out of fics in my queue and im desperate for any lovesquare fluff i can get my hands on. id want it a little bit on the longer side maybe but ill honestly just take anything you can give me. any recs please???

Oh shit, you and me in the same boat dude

Uuuhhh, anything by @rosekasa (goes by maketea on ao3) is good, she's got like 100 fics or so now and if you haven't read all of them there's probably one of two you'd enjoy (they're also short and sweet if you're looking for drabbles) she's got this one shot series (ways to say I love you I think) that I'm subscribed to, its got a bunch of little oneshots from all sides and variations of the lovesquare and it's super cute and I love reading them, they make yah feel warm and fluffy inside, like hot chocolate or smth

Reiaji on ao3 is like the best writer ever (very specific to my tastes yum) and they have 5 works there. They've got the classic who's woods these are (I think I know.) That you may have heard boatloads about and if you haven't read it, READ IT. It's a completed 25 chapter fic (105,000 words.) It's a cinderella story but marinette is the princess and it's main ship is ladrien (reiaji really likes ladrien) but there is some adrinette, marichat, and ladynoir in there. They've also got some other finished 1 - 2 chapter fics and stuff, honestly you should read all of it.

Graine de Toi is a body swap fic where adrien doesn't go to public school and has never met marinette (though he is chat noir and does meet ladybug) that is beautifully written, it's 5/11 chapters so far and I'm not sure if it will continue updating (I hope it will!) but what's there so far is super cute and I love it a lot definitely a must of you don't have a vendetta against unfinished fics

If you haven't read anything by @e-milieeee then you're missing out lmao, her ao3 is emilieee (if you held me at gunpoint and asked me the number of e's she has in her different usernames i wouldn't be able to tell you.) She's got a multi chapter fic Come Roses, Come Thorns that is to die for aaahhh, it's 13/? and updates decently regularly (em if you're looking please don't feel pressured if anyone should feel pressured it's me cause I haven't even thought about those bender au drawings in a month lmao luv u 💞✌️) it's a beauty and the beast story, marichat and adrinette, it's got magic, and lore that makes me wanna bust out a corkboard and red string. Yeah, read it if you haven't. She also is just, like, a good writer so read any of her other stuff and you'll be satisfied.

Those Benevolent Stars is a super cute ladrien soulmate au in an alternate universe (idk the era but it's not too important really) it's 3/3 chapters (23696 words) and I love it a lot. It's beautiful and sweet, makes my heart warm

Black Cats and Curtain Calls is a no powers theatre au fic (there's a series for it but the first one will always be my fav) based off of @caprette's theatre au from like, 2016 or smth. It makes me feel some things, (adrien reciting fucking poetry on the roof of a fucking denny's I can't) makes me feel nostalgic for a time that never was honestly,

This is all in like the first page of my bookwarks so there's definitely more that I missed out on. If you need some more recs, you can check my "ml fanfic rec" or "fav mlb fanfic" tag, theres bound to be some there that are good. Also just my bookmarks on ao3 is a compilation of every fic I've read and appreciated lmao

If anyone else has any recs feel absolutely encouraged to leave them in the reblogs or replies, I will happily gobble this shit up thank you very much,,

#ill probably add more later #stay tuned i guess? #miraculous ladybug #fav mlb fanfic #ml fanfic rec #uuuhhhh #yeah #ask

yellow , green , blue, turquoise , onyx , fuchsia , cream , mauve ( also genshin) & plum B)))

hey hi hello >:)

green: do you have a favourite flower?

nah i dont differentiate them.. every flower is just a flower to me jkhasjkdhkj...

if the flower is purple it gets extra points tho

blue: preferred type of weather?

rain!!! thunderstorms!!! <333

turquoise: favorite sea animal?

penguins or turtles :p

onyx: do you still play Minecraft?

nope, never did

fuchsia: favorite land animal?

cream: any piercings or tattoos? do you want any?

i have a helix one but it got fucked up.. so it looks weird :(

would love to fix it one day.. or maybe get rid of it completely hhh

no tattoos but i want some yes heheeheh

some longer answers will be under the cut jkahdsjkad

plum: a food you've never tried

oi.. dats like a lot of things... ;;

well I've never had anything "Chinese"/"Mexican"/idk what else people mention in a similar manner... i hear English-speaking folks refer to these.. "types" and yep never had any of that. also like.. any food chains that just don't exist in Russia? obv nope......... there is probably an insane amount of stuff I haven't tried, I'm picky and literally just eat at home 99% of the time so-

yellow: name of an artist you think is underappreciated

gonna give a dumb ass answer but... i can't...? i don't really know how much one should be "appreciated", like what is the "right amount" and whether or not this person receives it. the amount of notes/likes doesn't always represent that and also i don't look there at all.. also this one random artist can have multiple accs on different platforms with different engagements and all that... so how do i really know what's up with them? and once again i don't think i sit around thinking Damn this person needs more likes !! .. i just like/rb whatever i want and it's epic lashdjlksajdlk also i'm not sure if i have strong attachments to certain creators.. (at this point that is. i used to and some of it backfired lmao) ... the only attachments i have r ppl i'm friends with which is U Know... considered the right answer to this question and an adequate person would do just that but damn none of yall getting a free promo wtf 🙄 and i feel like mentioning one friend could lead to upsetting another or like .. i could just forget to tag someone... or I would waste time trying to figure out if it would be ok to mention them in an ask like this one and probably would decide against it anyways just not to bother anybody ....

and is getting tagged in a post saying u r underappreciated even a compliment? because i for one am not too sure about that........... much to think about uh huh

mauve: any unpopular opinions?

we entered danger zone.................... beware :з

uhhh well first of all I think childe x zhongli is like the most pathetic and boring "default" pairing this fandom came up with. they have 0 chemistry and I just hate everything about it. as much as I headcanon both as queers... together romantically it feels like 2 straight men put together by ya*i fans............ also before i blacklisted to ship and voluntarily looked through the ship tag... every post felt like a hard ooc. i could not understand what childe or zhongli are supposed to be as individuals, what they have in common, what kind of dynamic they have. deadass most crack ships with 0 interactions have more flavor than this tragedy

eng VAs are great people and appreciate their work but whoever decides the voices ain't doing it right. every male character sounds like a middle-aged white man.. and most of the youngest characters sound like very obvious adults trying to pretend to be babies. all of it irks me so bad god.. and there are so many characters that lose their little spark in eng........ (yet in korean and chinese they're completely fine??)

all of the playable adult male characters are shitty people in one way or another. none of them are good. they have reasons and different perspectives, yes, but they suck. every single one of them. stop ignoring it or trying to say only some are evil. none of them are inherently terrible.. but they're not these precious and righteous individuals. they're men.................... that says a lot, actually. :\

and as for women? god i hate the idea that they're all so uninteresting and weak. lichrally just a bunch of girlbosses, morals of most could be questioned as well... anyways some of the girls not having extremely dramatic stories doesn't make them any less cool. let them be

also all archons suck it's ok. you can still love them while acknowledging that they've done some shit. ALSO stop demonizing venti .. and now baal, while praising zhongli- he's an old loser stop lying to yourself. i hate when people present him as the only good archon, the voice of reason who is just so cool and collected but also ahh so cutely silly about mora !!!............. bitch the story quest of liyue is just one zhongli-is-a-fucking-moron campaign idk did yall skip it or something............ and even then it's ok to like him, he does have his logic/reasons/beliefs that justify his actions... he is not a good guy or archon tho.

shipping archons/adepti/whatever the fuck that isn't a basic human with a basic human is super weird. i mean the power dynamic will be completely fucked and ages? lord almighty... basically mortals should stay with mortals... the rest goes to baby jail except maybe ganyu she's a good girl

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk what else.................

maybe.. ahha... well.............. with how people hype up any vague new character that is leaked and declare how they will skip every banner ever for them - even tho all we know is... how the character looks like? it feels a bit too much. like truly what's the point of going crazy and then screaming at mihoyo every 3 seconds over some character that could be fake for all we know, or maybe they'll be a support you don't need, or they have a weapon you don't like to use.... can't you just wait till we get official info? jesus lawd- but regardless.......................... where is the same energy for baizhu :)

the man is literally in the game and people manage to forget him even in conversations about dendro specifically- how the fuck is that even real-

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES (??)/ NO / IDK.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES (as a captain, by default she should be considered strong. Whether or not people take that seriously is another question lol) / NO / IDK.

Are they underrated?  YES / NO / She’s an oc. lol.

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES (but only in my head lol) / NO 

Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world?  YES ( again, as a captain, she ought to be known by at least name, whether people acknowledge that is another thing as she is an OC) / NO

How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.

How strictly do you follow canon?  — I’m a little bit of a stickler when it comes to following canon. I do it to the best of my ability and try not to bend the rules to much to the point where it may seem far fetched. As an OC, I’m inserting something made up and non-canon into something canon. For me, I want her to be as believable as possible. I want her to fit in with the rest of the characters and story without disrupting that original story too much. 

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  —  In canon, there’s no character quite like her in Bleach. Bleach has a surprising amount of rather diverse female characters, but I really liked the idea of having someone who was strong, at their top of the game but wielded an ability and set of skills that is classically “feminine”. Her love of flowers, gardening, and being soft and gentle doesn’t compromise her ability to lead or to fuck up your shit. She’s honed her skills so much she can turn the division into something of her own, much like Urahara did by turning the 12th into the research division (a specialization that remains even after his exile) and made a name for herself that is wholly unique. 

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  —  People may find her interests boring or on the surface, her avenues of interaction repetitive. Maybe they can’t see their character interacting with a captain or someone from the soul society. Maybe they find her bubbly and friendly personality boring to interact with, because they prefer dramatic or angst driven story lines. 

What inspired you to rp your muse?  —  I’ve had Miki for a long ass time. Her original inspiration is shallow and embarrassing, so I’m going to pretend not to acknowledge it and simply say that I really wanted a shinigami that had a flower based zanpakuto. Like literal flowers, not just the aesthetic of flowers (like Byakuya). 

What keeps your inspiration going?  —  The people that I rp with frankly! I love my gorl, but it’s the other people I really write with that help bring her to life in a certain way. Oh no. My answer is just “the friends we made along the way” lmao. 

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO. (I’ve written quite a few over the years, the longer i go on the rarer they tend to get) 

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES  (I like them, but I haven’t written any in a long time!) / NO.

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO.

Are you a sensitive person?  YES-ISH / NO.

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  —  I’m always open to constructive criticism. I think without it, it’s hard to grow as an artist/writer (I’m leaving this thought of Lainey’s bc I agree lol). But its one thing to come and bash when you are only scraping the surface level of someone’s portrayal. Like, you can’t come to me and offer “criticism” if you haven’t bothered to read all the information that’s available to my character. As for my writing in genral, I welcome it. I’ve never professed to be a strong writer, I actually never really liked writing when it came to school, it is not a flowing talent for me like it is for others. I know sometimes I can get stuck in loops or sound repetitive. Sometimes I sit there and I know the feeling I want to portray but just can’t come up with the right words. So really, if you know of a way to shake that up, tell me! 

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  —  Yes!! Though sometimes I feel brain dead and don’t know how to answer lol...but I do my best! 

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  —  I mean, unless it’s something that blatantly goes against something in canon, since she’s my own character no one can really say shit. 

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  — Tell them they can go if they don’t like it??  I understand that she will not be everyone’s cup of tea and can’t possibly hit everyone’s boxes with her but...if she doesn’t vibe with you I don’t need to hear it, you can just go and not interact with me, lol. 

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  —  Obviously, since she is a character of my own creation, I DO want people to like her. I also realize that not everyone is going to like her though, by virtue of people being people and her characterization. We all have preferences. If you really HATE HATE her I’d maybe like to know why..because that seems like a really strong emotion and naturally we are curious. If it’s like “I hate her bc you make titty jokes sometimes” then get outta here, lol 

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  — Yeah, please, just fix it for me if its in a reblog. I’m pretty good with grammar but sometimes I just miss stuff and don’t catch it before it goes to post. Do me a solid. 

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  I”d like to think I am very easy going, but I also subscribe to the stupid idea that no one actually wants to talk to me, so I tend to keep to myself a lot and I find it hard to get really friendly with new people. I have my handful of people that I know I can say anything to, but it’s taken a long time to get there. But seriously, I don’t bite. I am a nice person. But also, don’t just come up to me and be like “whats up” and then when I respond you’re just like “cool” and nothing else. Fuck outta here with that. 

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

[stargazingcarol]

For the reader ask, 7, 12 and 15!

before i answered this i got so excited you asked me something lmao i even went to my 13 year old brother and told him. well first i had to ask: do you know what fanfiction is?

And he made this face of "sadly-i-do-know-what-it-is" poor him i guess.

anyways,,,

7. What's your favourite fic genre to read?

I'll go with fiction and romance mostly, i think adventures sometimes. Mostly romance though. I mean is that a fic genre? Most fanfics are romantic so...

12. Do you subscribe to authors or stories?

I don't but one time i read this stony story and i was in the tag list. That's pretty much it.

15. What can an author do to make you love them?

By just writing about my favorite ship gets me lmao. But i guess i can say that i kinda like the jealousy/protective trope. Or enemies to friends to lovers. Best friends to lovers too. And idk what else to say.

Thanks sabre for asking😎✌

#asks

[cubistemoji]

thank u @iceandbrimstone for the tag!!

1) How many works in progress to do you currently have in progress?

2 that I’ve more or less abandoned forever (rip in pieces) and one that I started outlining and then decided to shelve until after I’m done w/school for the year and then another thing I was gonna do for the april camp nanowrimo this year but then just. didn’t. I might try to get that done over the summer too

2) Do you/would you write fan fiction?

not only do I write fanfiction I wrote an article about how great fanfiction is for my school paper a few weeks ago (and snuck in a reference to some of my favorite hq fics in the process lmao)

in addition to fic I also write articles and reviews for my school’s online newspaper, and comics! I write original fiction once in a blue moon too. I’m taking a class on fiction writing next fall so excited to do more original work for that lol

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

I used to always go for paper books and I like the sensation of reading a physical book but it is so. much. easier to just pull up a tab on ao3 or download a pdf and scroll through it

can’t get an autographed annotated ebook tho

4) When did you start writing?

I wrote a picture book for class in second grade and then discovered fanfiction on the scholastic dot com kid’s forum’s harry potter board when I was ten and it was like “you mean I can...MAKE UP STUFF...THAT HAPPENS...TO THE HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS???” so yeah I wrote some. embarrassing but decently-spelled and punctuated nextgen fic in those years

a few months ago I got an email notification that someone subscribed to my fanfiction dot net harry potter fic that has not been updated since 2011 and it was embarrassing

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

my friends! special shout-out to @raspberrymint-is-mint for letting me drag her to barnes and noble to cry about my fanfic for a thing she hasn’t even seen or read bc at that point I had zero haikyuu fic friends and anjali’s been my writer friend since like 6th grade and is the person I trust the most from a writing standpoint also @kenmagoesblep and connie who doesn’t have a tumblr

and @flashcotton, obviously, even tho they don’t read everything I write

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

on my laptop at my desk tho one time I wrote like 1500 words on my tablet pc during a 2-hour shinkansen ride from kyoto to tokyo. good times

7) Favourite childhood book?

the mysterious benedict society trilogy in english and either alisa or tanya grotter in russian

8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?

validation, mostly. I’m interested in writing for comics in the future maybe though

9) Pen and paper or computer?

computer please and thank you

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

once at nerd camp when I was 12 (it was about analyzing mystery suspense and horror in literature and film but we also wrote stuff for the class and everyone liked my things a lot for some reason)

11) What inspires you to write?

a lot of the time it’s “spite” or “well if no one else is gonna make this content I guess I just have to make it my own damn self” but also “I need to process these feelings somehow” like uhhh that richard siken quote: “I want to tell you this story without having to be in it” that’s where these two fics mostly came from I needed to tell everyone about my feelings by projecting those feelings onto some fictional volleyball boys normally my idea process is like: I have an idea, and then I think of character dynamics I like that can go with it, and then I start writing until the idea isn’t taking up 90% of my brainspace at all times

this was kind of incoherent sorry

tagging @kenmagoesblep and @ingthing @kon-centration even tho idk if you still check tumblr nowadays

tagged by @catsbythegreat - ty <3

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

I was in love with Dazai and every time saw his face I was just like “god damnit you hot fuck” but this was shorter

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

Uhhhhhhhhh on tumblr the BDSM Mafia!Dazai smut (surprise lmao) and from AO3 probably something SNK related since those have been on there the longest. Mixed maybe?

I think its the same one from my personal blog and idk I just like the manga aesthetic

on tumblr yeah. well like..rebloggers. but i 1000% stalk the tags on all my reblogs. 

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

Siren of the Misty Seas by @yokohamastraydogs, a few recently good Chuuya smut fics on AO3 (i can only quench my own thirst for so long lmao), there was this one general fic on AO3 that revolved around Dazai’s POV but I haven’t been on in so long I can’t think of the name. Other than that the only other series I followed was written by wifey ( @dirtylevi ) for SNK and she hasn’t updated in ten millions years (: 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

none. i rarely use A03 tbh other than non-insert fics which I don’t have much of atm. 

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

Dazai staying in the mafia lmao. I can’t help it I just love him in those situations.

fffffffffffffffffffffff idk on AO3 tbh but the OG blog had 2k and this one is at about 1500 rn. 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

Yes?? ish?? Smut related things are weird because I write smut for other people to enjoy but idk where everyone else’s kinks stop because I’m a kinkier mother fucker and not everyone is??

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

DIALOGUE. WTF IS THAT

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

pfdjkaslfjdklas;a i write no ships (which is why i rarely use A03) but platonic my favorites to write are chuuaku & odazai. I’d like to explore Kouyou and Chuuya’s relationship at some point. 

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

sO MANY. I have an entire series of all my SNK one-shots just grouped together, and then my now four BSD series. & two unfinished snk long-fics................................oops

Only the BSD series. All of my old SNK fics (which was a fucking lot) are on my graveyard of a DA profile.

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

Head. I write them out on the notebook Kazoo gave me when I have the time or else they clog my brain and I get annoyed.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nah

16. How did you discover AO3?

fuck if i know

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

Yes, a lot of them do still. 

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Practice is the only way you’ll get better. 

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

Uhhhhhhh I have this problem of having one specific scene of a story and its usually a middle part and then i’m obsessed with it but the beginning? the end?? the fuck are those?

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Uh on one of my old smut fics for SNK someone said something about a lot of whores being on A03 like ??? what does that even mean?? the few times throughout the years ive only been slut-shamed on my smut lmao. and once about Aku shoving it in dry that started this whole salty debate about BDSM and the ignorance on tumblr was astounding. 23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

SMUT IS HARD. There are only so many words for “dick”. I’m a visual writer too so sensory details are my wheelhouse, anything else im like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, especially with motions in smut like 98% of my life is trying to imagine position switching in my head and then forming words to explain it.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

in my head? a lot. in real life? None because I have no god damn time.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

ask my graveyard of unfinished series.

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Writing at all is the only goal I have and even that’s not realistic.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Hell yea boiiii 

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

Unsettled [Levi] solely because the difference in my writing was like..ridiculous compared to my old style. I loved how it turned out. Like Smoke [Mafia!Dazai] has that same dark and kind of hazy feel to it and I love that series. That one where I fucked up Armin in a Zombie AU That one chuuaku fic that I don’t remember the name of.  That one where I fucked up Dazai and all the tags were turmoil and I loved it.

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

I hate the organization of TDOC. It’s on my list of re-writes tbh. Same with the BDSM centered mafia!dazai smut..thing..like it kind of ended up being this weird series-but-not and now I want to just...make it a collective thing because I have control issues and its bothering me.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Hopefully fucking writing and not running a fucking Aeropostale and wanting to stab my eyes out lmao

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

imagining it in my head

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

VERBS

33. Why do you write? Escape. Expression. Thirst tagging these thots: @bungou-stray-dogs-indulgences @yokohamastraydogs @scarletwrittenblack @nenufair

About Me As a Writer

Tagged by @foxyena Thank you so much!!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean? My tumblr username obviously comes from Aizawa from BNHA. He’s one of my favorite characters and he’s voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu’s, Junichi Suwabe. My old username novocaine-sea (which is novocaine_sea on AO3) came from a song by the band Senses Fail! The lyrics go “I wanna drown in a sea filled with novocaine” I had that username from my bandom days and couldn’t part with it

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos).

Fruitless has the most of all of these things, over 200 bookmarks, 726 kudos, almost 9000 hits and 100 subs! But as for active fics Side Effects is the second best with 90 subs!

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

My AO3 icon is a sleeping Bakugou cap from the anime bc he looks like such an angel I love him so much

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

Yes!! My fav commenters are @vairenna, @emotabek and @mirikiri93 but i also love every single person who comments on my stories anyway because they’re all so lovely and supportive and I cherish every single one of them

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

Right now I’ve been going back and reading Feathers Are the Least of These by mousapelli (I’m unsure if they have a tumblr account). It’s a Tokoyami x Deku fic and it’s really wonderful I love it a lot.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

I have 830 bookmarks (it’s a mess I had more but went through and deleted a bunch one day, I need to do it again) and I don’t know how to see the exact number of works I’m subscribed to but there are 5 pages worth, though half of them are most likely completed

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

Well I tend to keep coming back to serial killer AUs, are AUs that are particularly blody. I think I have at least one planned for each fandom I’m in, and have already accomplished that with Haikyuu. Though I do wanna write more. 

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

I have 145 user subscriptions and 1655 bookmarked

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

I have a, uh, cannibal fic planned? Which I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t be cool with so I’m gonna keep it to myself for now lmao

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Fluff mostly. I’m not very good at it and i feel like compared to my angst and smut even it comes out really lackluster

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

I really love rarepairs, my favorite pairs are SemiSuga and MatsuAka, but lately I’ve found myself writing IwaOi which is strange bc they’re not even one of my main ships. But I love both rarepairs and popular ships equally!

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

Okay so my AO3 says 56 but I’ve deleted at least 5 or 6 from it so it’s more in the 60s.

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

Oh god I don’t even want to count but I have at least 5 WIPs for Haikyuu, BNHA, and YOI respectively

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I do the bad thing of keeping some of them in my head but I really try to write down a lot of them.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

I have not! But I was planning to cowrite something with my friend Erin! I think it would be fun to cowrite with somebody :)

16. How did you discover AO3?

My best friend Faith made me read this one Teen Wolf fic called “DILF” and I’ve been on AO3 ever since!

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

Oh no not at all

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

Do fandom authors do that?

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

A lot but I would credit @thewiselearnfromhistory as my biggest inspiration. Idk where she disappeared off to but she’s a wonderful friend and an amazing writing (she’s ConesofDunshire on AO3)

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Write what you want to see. Don’t try and copy other writer’s style; develop your own while reading their works. It’s okay to be inspired by other people’s writing. 

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

I’ve done both! I had a really intense outlie for Fruitless but it ended in a way that was not plan. Half of what happened in the fic was not planned until I actually wrote the completed chater. I really thik it’s fun to let the fic take you where it wants to go. Currently I’ve planned out all the chapters of Side Effects but they’ll probably end up being scrapped, at least half of it.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Yes! I have been told that my grammar is awful and the story would have been more readable and enjoyable if I had a “better grasp on my grammar.” I’ve been told that the way I write certain characters is extremely OOC. I’ve been told that characters would never do that because they’re monsters and not kind souls. But the amount of positive comments I’ve gotten outweighs the bad ones tenfold

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

I’m really bad with action scenes but I’ve been writing BNHA which is an action packed series so I’ve been trying to use that as my “training” I guess

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

My biggest priority right now is Side Effects as that is my main work on AO3 right now. But I will return to Untucking and the TodoMomo fic eventually. I am also working on some Kacchako secret Santa stuff!

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Lmao yes it’s an ISSUE

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

No but my only goal right now is to finish Side Effects chapter 23 because it’s been giving me issues so that’s my goal every day right now

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Oh my fucking god yes. I read the UshiOi smut that I have posted on AO3 and I cringe SO HARD. My friend told me that,that was their favorite fic of mine (or one of them at least) and I was like why... please....

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

I would say Fruitless, but I also really love Golden. IT evoked a lot of emotion from me and I really love that piece of writing. But also Side Effects. And Wisteria. I can’t pick a favorite

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

Ahhhh the UshiOi story aforementioned. And anything I’ve deleted from AO3

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

I hope to still be writing for fandom because I do enjoy it, but I also hope to be writing my own original work and maybe have a short story or two published? I think it would be nice to get into a fandom zine too!

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

I think putting intense emotions into the characters and everything around them is my strong suit. I love breaking characters down and getting to the root of their problems

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Keeping things happy! I always return right back to the angst and I need to fucking relax with it it’s bad

33. Why do you write?

I write for myself, to get my ideas out there, and hopefully write something that other people love and enjoy fully. I write to make friends and to meet people who will inspire me and who I can inspire too. I love the way writing and art in general in fandom connects people. It’s really special :)

tagged by @atsumus thank you i see this is about writing and i love you for that

i,, don’t know who to tag WRITER FRIENDS ASSEMBLE okay maybe @karasunovolleygays hello i am interested to see you do this, if you haven’t yet

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

i formulated it for tumblr and and decided to use it for ao3 to retain my branding. it’s basically just, cool weeb idk it’s not even true but i’m owning it

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

that would be the multi-chapter i guess. though i do want to maybe someday do actual math like. compare the kudos/comment ratio with the hits and then calculate which ACTUALLY performed the best based on that.

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

oh it’s that one art i did of oikawa saying “4 YEARS WE’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER AND YOU DON’T WANNA SEE ME JUMP OUTTA DA CAKE” except i put a comic sans ‘excuse u’. not sure why i used it either; it makes me look sassy whenever i reply to comments but it got me a mutual (lolol hi vio) and people comment about it when they see it so No Ragrets

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

yES. the oikage ao3 community is so kind to me tbh ever since i posted my first fics. of course i love every single commenter i get (with one exception, maybe.) and i appreciate the diversity when i post non-oikage fics too. (those are basically my ao3 categories. oikage and misc JDFKSJD)

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

i reread my own fics from time to time for no reason and the ones that i come back to the most are from the p+c series i did for oikage week. i’m sort of proud of them? but i feel like they didn’t get as much feedback as i would’ve liked so i appreciate them in my own time. #2 and #5 in particular.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

i’m a picky person, so i only have 25 bookmarks, 8 work subscriptions, and 3 user subscriptions. the bookmarks and subscriptions may overlap

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

i am a private au royalty, and i have so many idek which to start, which i’m actually going to write, etc. i’m a sucker for complex and adventure aus, as well as the heart-wrenching ones

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

uhhh user subscriptions are 25, subscriptions are 86, and bookmarks are 331. doesn’t seem like a lot haha how dare you ask me this,

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

basically everything that i write yet don’t post. mostly because they involve my ocs. don’t get me wrong; i’m good at making ocs now i don’t mary sue or anything and they’re all really cool and story-relevant but people just don’t want/need to see that kind of thing, you know?

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

setting description, dialogue-heavy pieces, condensing a work to involve less words, romance in general u gh how an anti-romance as a genre person ended up here is a mystery to me, and just. writing in general. as far as i see, i still suck

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

rarepairs. i don’t think i’ve ever glorified a popular ship before. if ever i do write for them it’s just because it was requested or something.

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

21

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

uhhhh last i counted i had like 30+ non-drabble/short WIPs but that was last year. a lot has happened since then adfjsdkf

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

my head can’t remember what day it is, so i write em down. 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

nope (i want to tho)

16. How did you discover AO3?

tumblr, i would think, back when i was still fixated on dmmd.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

HAHAHAHA no

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

nope lmfao but i could. because i am kakkoweeb from now on y’all are The Weeb Shits djdkf im joking of course. does anyone other than youtubers even do that?

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

when i was eight years old, i think that would be anne mazer. right now, i’m inspired by my favourite fic authors bECAUSE THEY’RE ALL SO GOOD i’d name drop/tag but i’m embarrassed haha,, basically take a good look at my bookmarks you’ll know who they are

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

everyone has to start somewhere, and i think a pretty good start before the actual writing is reading. reading is where the whole thing begins, and from it you can get ideas and styles and words, and develop your way of thinking. as for actual writing: it’s important not to pressure yourself to be really really good and that you find ways to have fun with it. write for your own reasons. look to improvement, but not to the point that it’s all you care about. it’s normal to get stuck, it’s normal to go slow. but if you really love it, don’t quit. keep writing and you’ll never go wrong. oh, and editing is your friend.

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

definitely plot out. it’s going to be impossible for me to remember everything on the fly, and ideas pop out at random times in the day and i can’t discard them, so each story has a plan. the level of detail depends on the complexity and my own creative ability at any given moment. sometimes tho i get ideas midway through speed-typing and just go with them.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

no, not really bad. some kind of off-topic, yes, but not bad. i just don’t reply.

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

romantic things in general. the emotions and sensations that come with touch and affection, because i don’t write those based on experience.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

…a lot. just. a lot.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

bruh yeah. i even have projects that have spinoffs/sequels where i want to write the sequels before the actual project 

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

ideally, that would be to write and then feel satisfied with what i’ve written, in terms of the degree of accomplishment (did i just finish a subsection or a chapter? get past a part where i was stuck?) and the quality. most days, it’s too high a goal.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

infinitely, yes. it’d be a little embarrassing if i didn’t improve since childhood

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

i,, i don’t know, i like and hate them all to some degree lmfao

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

:)))) i don’t want to talk about it. if you read my writing journal though, you might be able to tell what it is.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

hopefully finished with a couple of things, still writing, and maybe with some writer friends? I HOPE AND CREI

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

…finding a word processor. LMAO idk each aspect has its own easy and hard moments depending on the type of project you’re working on. getting excited about an idea, maybe? that’s easy

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

writing

33. Why do you write?

because i have been for years and don’t know how to do anything else, and because i want to be the content i want to see in the world. also because i have like 34838 worlds in my head and need a medium for all of them

Tagged by @yokohamastraydogs . Thank you!

Tag game under the cut cause it’s kinda long:

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

No one had this url yet so it was kinda the obvious choice based on what I was planning on posting. It doesn’t get more straightforward than this kids. 

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

I didn’t take Wattpad into account because I’m lazy. The most I have on Tumblr is 42 notes on this one. Kinda surprising since I usually get 10-20 something notes on most stuff here. This scenario is an outlier lol. 

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

I don’t use AO3 much and I don’t even think my account had an icon. 

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

I appreciate all the comments I get, so I don’t think I really have any favourite people who do so. 

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

I mostly just go back and read Fyodor related scenarios that are actually decent. They’re in short supply. 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

None lol, even when I used AO3 regularly I never did anything like that.

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

I mostly like writing AUs based on other fictional media I really like. Usually films, but I also have that Crime & Punishment AU. 

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

I have 451 followers right now. 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

I can’t really think of anything off the top of my head. I mean I do have some fucked up smut ideas but I can’t write smut for shit even if it’s vanilla. 

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

I’d like to get better at writing smut, and just in general writing actions because I think that’s a major problem of mine. I also need to get better at replying to comments because I never know what to say to people. Of course it would also be nice if I was able to update more frequently. 

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

I don’t write ships...

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

None.

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

15. Seems like a lot but I only write scenarios. I’ve never written a full story with chapters because I have commitment issues. At the most I’ve only done a sequel type thing. 

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I have a list of a bunch of ideas. If an idea gets big enough and I feel the need to write it, I’ll write down all the stuff I can think of for it in a document. 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

No. 

16. How did you discover AO3?

Probably when I was looking for fanfiction in 2013. I won’t mention the fandom because I kinda regret being into it now. I read a lot of things I shouldn’t have read at 14.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

No lmao. Fyodor’s not a super popular character as it is. I feel like I’m probably well known enough for my liking though. 

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

No. I’m not that corny lol

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Ummm, idk? I do like novels but idk if any of them ever inspired me to write all that much. I’ve never really written a decent original story because in all honesty I don’t care much about that. I write this stupid fanfiction as wish fulfillment for myself because nobody would do it for me at the time. 

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Practice a lot, read a lot. I say read because it’ll help broaden your horizons, vocabulary, and give you ideas on styles to experiment with. You’ll likely also get a lot of inspiration from a good book, so don’t only read fanfiction. 

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

Sometimes I just have a rough idea and start from there. In other cases I have most of what I want to happen written out and I just have to connect all of the pieces. Usually when it’s the latter though a lot ends up changing as I write. 

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

I don’t think I’ve had a bad comment before. The worst I’ve gotten is someone asking about the logic I used once, and I replied with what I actually meant. They were nice about it though originally and understood where I was coming from after I informed them. I’ve also had people point out a pun I accidentally made once, it kinda detracted from the seriousness of the story so looking back on it I feel like a dumbass. 

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

Anything involving describing movement in all honesty. It’s at the point where I’d rather just only write dialogue, I love dialogue. 

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

Just working on requests. I also have some ongoing one shots I thought of myself that I might finish eventually. 

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Yeah. I just write what I’m in the mood for sometimes, so there’s a few things that only have a page written or haven’t been touched in ages. 

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

No. I’m really busy so I usually just write whenever I have free time and feel like it. 

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Yeah, for sure. I’m not sure if it’s by much but I do see it. 

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

Hmm, not sure. Though I like my angst more than anything else usually.

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

I’m not really a big fan of the first one I wrote, since it’s mediocre. I’m also not super into the high school AU I did a little bit after that. 

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

I don’t plan on writing for my career and I don’t see myself continuing to write fanfic for that long. By then at most I’d probably be writing papers for grad school or writing a report for my job.

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Dialogue -- for me at least. 

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Describing movement and actions.

33. Why do you write?

It’s something to do with my free time. It’s also partially for wish fulfillment.
