#mmmmm worldbuilding :3
NOOOOOOOO, no desk pygmy's 😔
I'm assuming they live in meadows?
Wait, do pygmy's keep pets? Do they have like, little fruit flies?
WAIT, DO PYGMY'S EAT BUGS????
(I am so sorry if I'm spelling pygmys wrong lol)
Pygmies are omnivores and because of their size will usually only hunt larger bugs and small fish but a lot of their diet is edible plants and mushrooms :3
as for pets it isn't common but some have been observed taking care of particularly interesting bugs or even other small creatures for short periods of time though sometimes it is longer.
Pygmies live in a variety of environments! Some have been changed so drastically by their environments that they can no longer survive in other ones. One of the most common examples of this would be the merpygmys :3 Though majority of pygmies live in forests :D

BECKYYYYYYY
Wince you're back I'm rambling now—
I love worldbuilding. I just added a weather section to the list bc I realized that every last thing, including natural or manmade phenomenon, could be entirely different from ours....(first, I call the form of energy before it's formed into magic, mana)
And I made this thing called a mana storm where if too much mana of the same attribute gathers on one spot, it creates huge disasters. Too much water? Floods/hurricanes like no tomorrow in that one spot, like someone just dropped it there and left. Too much fire? Could become a barren ash wasteland if it's on the bad side...lightning, earth, light, metal, all of those. (The people of that world don't know about dark magic btw)
ALSO
A different weather event called Air Burst. This is where pressure keeps building until it explodes and the air vibrates for a while, maybe days to weeks...and this includes sonic vibration levels. It could be of any tone and cause damage, or go entirely unnoticed by most races...
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
Long ago Glitch Da3dm the 3D Dragon Lord Brian sewed together a universe that had some of the craziest and coolest things I've ever heard off.
Only they could create such a wonder.
3DDDDDDDDDD!!! THIS RULES!!! Mana storms? AhHHhHh Hello??? SO COOL! Also also also, what would a metal mana storm be like? I can imagine metal spikes and stuff like shooting everywhere or things becoming magnetized that makes metal float! Idk a metal mana storm reallyyyyy intrigues me!!
MmMMm I love all this world buildingggg
But 3D, YOU NEED TO FLIPPEN GO TO SLEEP!!!! YOU SHOULD BE SLEEPING RN >:|
But I love you so much so try and get some rest ya goose <3

hazel!! hiya!! could i hear about 2, 7, 14, 37, & 45 from the ask game? -💙
@igarbagecannoteven hi megs! thanks for asking!
2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?
Christmas (15)
Established Relationship (14)
Fluff (10)
Canon Compliant (10)
Alternate Universe - College/University (9)
Okay so. I have 95 fics posted on ao3 between my two pseuds. I wouldn't say that "Christmas" accurately represents my writing habits since those are from ficmas (and one shazam fic), and while I'll probably do one christmas fic a year in the future, I don't think I'll be doing a full ficmas again. I do feel like established relationship and fluff both fit! I find getting-together fics more difficult to write, so my short fics especially are usually established relationships, and I do like fluff! i like canon compliant stuff, especially for non-rpf fandoms, and while i think i'll write less college/university fics in the future now that i'm out of college, i know that the mashton college au accounts for a lot of those and i do have plans for quite a few other college fics.
7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of? i'm going to say the sorcerer/prince au! i feel like i did a good job of introducing this entirely new world in just a short little fic. i think the worldbuilding blended into the narrative really well.
14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer? in this fandom at least, since I have trusted writers here, soulmate aus are something that i'll only read by people i know will do it in a way i like. soulmate aus are something that i've gotten a bit more particular about as I've gotten older and read more fic. also, there are some aus or tropes that immediately lend themselves to smut (fwb, omegaverse, etc) and if i see one of those marked T or M i'll only read it if i know the writer and can trust that they rated it correctly. remember friends, it's not about the amount of sexual content in your fic, it's about how detailed the sexual content is!
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it? going to be controversial and promote when i watch the world burn despite the fact that when i first posted it i wasn't feeling the best. she deserves better! i know that she's not going to get better, because it's an apocalypse au and those aren't very popular aus, but I guess I wasn't expecting it to be as badly-received as it was? which is hypocritical, because i myself don't usually read apocalypse aus and looking at the tags and such on this one, idk if i would've read it, but i do thing it's good! it's a bit of a different style than is usual for me, but i think it works really well for the subject matter and i think there's a nice emotional quality to it.
45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic? mmmmm good question! on a technical level i'm not sure what i've improved on, just because i'm constantly always trying to improve but it's always in the back of my head since fic is for fun, but on a personal level i've improved at ensuring that fic stays a fun hobby rather than something ugly and stressful and disheartening. i've gotten better at really listening to myself about what i want to work on, rather than forcing myself to work on fics i don't have motivation or inspiration for, and i've also gotten better at not looking at my immense number of wips as a bad thing. it's okay if i don't finish them! that's fine! i still do struggle with these things (there are a few fics where i'm like "aw man, i should finish that for [insert fic event] which is rapidly approaching" but i've also acknowledged that right now i simply don't want to write, i want to read, and therefore many of these fics won't be written in time for those events because i won't force myself), but i'm getting better, which is good!

next would have to be @byutafy i esp loe 5 minutes; the worldbuilding is just so good... idk fei's writing is so immersive and atmospheric i adore it sm!
@pastelsicheng is another fave, emmy is such a fantastic writer and she really has such a talent for hitting your emotions real deep but doing so subtly!!! and i really admire that!
@lovingonrepeat ... WHERE TO BEGIN dj's work is soooooo good and soooo hot i love it sm dj was actually one of the first writers i followed on here i think <3 haven't regretted it whatsoever
also @itsapapisongo javi has such a big brain his aus are all so like.... MMMMM makes the nerd in me very happy plus i just like the way his writing flows!!!

and last but certainly not least @bl--ankhaeji tre is so imaginative and big brain and i always enjoy reading her work!
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
i think this means like fic tropes? and mmm i guess i don't read much hybrid or abo.... i usually steer clear of fuck or die, it can be funny sometimes but rarely do i find it compelling.... i've got a pretty open mind tho theres not much in the way of genre or trope that I like, genuinely hate lol
A: How did you come up with the title to [GMA]?
LORD so i was looking up songs to make a playlist for it and one of the songs was guys my age by hey violet and i was like first of all, fitting; second of all, i love when i get to work the title into the writing and that's something that's easy to work in. plus it really does get the gist of the story across well. so. that.

Fic Questionnaire
@ford-ye-fiji tagged me to do this; thank you. ^_^
How many works do you have on AO3? 106
What's your total AO3 word count? 395,897
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? 27 fandoms, though for most of them it’s only like one or two. They are Akatsuki no Yona, Bungou Stray Dogs, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, Tales of Zestiria, Tales of Berseria, Tales of Graces, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Xillia, Tales of Hearts, Tales of the Rays, Professor Layton, Noragami, Pandora Hearts, Dai Gyakuten Saiban, A Series of Unfortunate Events, RWBY, Tangled the series, Doki Doki Literature Club, Ori and the Blind Forest, Vanitas no Carte, Genshin Impact, Kiznaiver, Boku dake ga Inai Machi, Kuroshitsuji, Ai the Somnium Files, and Charlotte.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? “Pictures, Posters, and Tender Beauty”, “Plus Est En Vous”, “My Reason”,  “I Am Here, Too”, and “A Bandage for my Scars, and your Heart” ...Not surprised that four out of five of those are MHA fics, but I will never understand how that Tangled the series one I did got so insanely popular..... maybe because the show director himself acknowledged it. 0_0
Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I try to, though I have to shamefully admit I pick and choose which ones I respond to. I appreciate every comment I get, of course, every writer does, but idk, I just feel like a broken record responding to all similar shorter comments with “Thank you so much!!! I’m so happy you liked it <3″ or something like that... Is that cruel of me? >_> I also feel weird responding to comments on my super old stuff, because aside from a few exceptions, I don’t really like most of my old fics anymore alkgklflkkl and I barely remember them enough to be able to give a reasonable response to comments on those. Instead I just put all my energy into responding to longer, more detailed comments, because with those I actually have more to work with to say back... But again, I love all my comments!! I’m really sorry if I don’t respond to your comment, it doesn’t mean I’m not grateful, I just don’t know what to say back OTL
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Haaaah, there are a few, but proooobably the most angsty ending would be in “Smile, and maybe tomorrow, you’ll see the sun.” Since the thing is basically 12k words of agonizingly drawn-out All Might death... :’) Though I meant for the actual ending to be somewhat hopeful/bittersweet? and I surely have other ones that have more painful endings... But that’s the obvious one that comes to mind, since I’ve had multiple people yell at me for it. :)
Have you ever received hate on a fic? I can’t remember any instances of outright hate, but I’ve gotten some... odd comments every once in a while... Or just some annoying criticism that the person didn’t intend to be mean about, I don’t think, but that realllly wasn’t warranted. These comments are very rare though.
Do you write smut? If so what kind? Noooo way in hell lol
Have you ever had a fic stolen? ....I mean, not that I know of!
Have you ever had a fic translated? Yeah, I think I had at least one someone asked to translate into Russian, although they put it on FF.net lol
Have you ever co-written a fic before? No... I really want to though. Multiple friends and I have planned different ones, but we haven’t gotten around to doing any of them yet because I’m into different fandoms atm and also dealing with health problems that distract me.... My ex-friend and I had a major one that was in the planning stages, but then she stopped being my friend so it never got off the ground. :’) I’m still upset about that...
What's your all time favorite ship? Mmmmm that’s hard; I don’t ship that much at all, so although I have a few favorite ships, one in particular doesn’t really stand out to me as my hardcore OTP.... Buuut I guess I would say Snow/Serah from FFXIII; I love ff13 so much, it’s so special to me, and those two are just the absolute sweetest and the heart and soul of the game 🥺❤️ I haven’t written anything for them or ff13 in general, but maybe someday.
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? I only ever have one WIP at a time, so..... Hopefully not my current long one, I am constantly trying to slap myself for thinking, intimidated as I am by it with all my ideas for it and all the research I need to do. :’)
What are your writing strengths? I think I’m really good at writing characters’ emotions... the emotions they show, and everything they’re feeling internally. I really like the stream-of-consciousness style of internal monologue I’ve started using within the last few years; I think it’s very... cathartic? In general I just think I’m good at writing softness, cause I definitely feel the soft feels rereading my stuff lol
What are your writing weaknesses? Motivation.... starting a writing session and not getting distracted.... ADHD.... what do I do. :’) Although I just said I like that stream-of-consciousness style I use, I often feel like I use it too much, or things get redundant, and too wordy and overwhelming, bah..... I’m also shit at just.... knowing things, like worldbuilding, but like, real-world stuff that everyone knows, but I’ve been living under a rock my whole life and not done a lot of things that are normal for most other people, so I struggle with that in my writing, which is why all my fics not-so-subtly eek around mentioning things like food and irl places and so much else, haaah.... now I’m got myself writing 1800s Victorian London; someone save me
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Ehhhh only do it veryyyy sparingly, like when a character is startled and might briefly revert to their native language, or something similar. I just did that in one of my recent fics, actually, and looked up a few Russian words, being super anal about getting it right.... and I still got a comment correcting my Russian, even though it was only like 3 words in the entire thing, with nothing else to say about the rest of the fic... it was a little frustrating :’)
What was the first fandom you ever wrote for? Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn. That was the first series that really got me into fandom and making online friends, and gave me the courage to try writing fics; I’m so grateful to it for that, and it still remains one of my favorite mangas <3 Ah, to be able to pump out fics as easily and quickly as I did back then...
What's your favorite fic you've ever written? I think it’s still “Manufactured Hearts, Real Happiness”, the sole Tales of the Abyss fic I’ve written. TotA is my favorite game of all time, and I wrote this for a Tales big bang that happened a while back; it turned out much longer than I ever anticipated, one of my longest fics to date, and pretty much exactly how I wanted it to be, which is always the best feeling... I was so happy to feel like I did my favorite game justice. :’) Now.... my dream is for my current WIP to become my new favorite, if I can pull it off right; we’ll see :’)
Uhhhh I’ll tag @sixtyfourk , @cenally , @arcane-palm , @kyoukalay , @magicmetslogic , and @evevoli03 , if any of you want to do this~

Fic Writer Review
I held off answering the tag from @cleanlenins on this because I needed the PC to even attempt keeping track of each question and I'm just bad at social interaction anyway, but here's my stats!
(。•̀ᴗ-)✧
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Up until now (September 17th) 12, but in a few days it will be 13.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
The stats say 151'430... It's like, a lot. (But on FFnet M(S)M alone is 105'179, so I guess it's still not that much.)
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Counting crossovers and WiPs? Mmmmm... Danny Phantom, Pokémon, Ratchet & Clank, Dr. Stone, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jak & Daxter, Scaler, Super Smash Bros, Hetalia, Legend of Zelda, Professor Layton, Miraculous, Rise of the Guardians...
14, I guess?
However, I'm probably forgetting something, my imagination is wild.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1_ Shivers
2_ Abbreviation
3_ Fly me to the Moon
4_ Odd Wish
5_ Into the Nexus_Prologue
5. Which of your fic do you want more attention for?
Definitely PMD: Mega (Shinka) Mix, it took a lot of worldbuilding (and it's still in progress), but the feedback I receive is little and it discourages me a bit.
(╥﹏╥)
6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I do! I love to interact with my readers, but I usually reply only after I post a new chapter of the same story or a continuation in the same Series. It's a habit I got from FFnet, where I would respond after the Author Notes at the end of the chapter.
7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don't like angst endings. Things that come out of my finger have to have either a happy or at least hopeful ending. I don't feel comfortable with myself otherwise.
8. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you’ve written?
My whole writing career started in middle school with the most wild, out-of-mind and excessive SI crossover. I had even planned 5 to 7 whole books of it, one for each a narrative arc.
You see, I was quite bullied for my interests during middle and high school, so this 4-way crossover was my only escape from reality.
Ratchet, Clank, Ash Ketchum's OC daughter, Jak Daxter and Bobby/Scaler (it came from a PS2 videogame) were my sole companions that kept up with my bullshish. I still have the plots of each book and when nostalgia hits, I go back to read them again. (I cringe at some choices now, but I was a teenager, so it's excusable. (≧∇≦))
But back to the topic, every time I'm distracted enough, a crossover idea could hit me and I would probably obsess on it to make sure every piece of each fandom fits without too much strain.
~(‾▿‾)~
9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not exactly hate, but criticism on my use of "‒" for dialogues, yes. It's a habit I have from my Italian education, so obviously it was implemented in my writing style.
10. Do you write smut? if so what kind?
NNNNNNNNoooooooPPPPPPeeeeeeeeee!!!
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
By others? Not in my knowledge. Technically all my fics are translations of the "Italian version" I have in my head, given that English is not my first language, sooo.... (≧∇≦)
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I'm not familiar enough with other writers on internet to even attempt a cooperation. (Besides, I would fear to disappoint whoever I collab with because of my irregular writing schedule, so yeah...)
But a couple of times I made suggestions in my reviews in other fics that were liked enough to be implemented, however I think that this doesn't count... `(*>﹏<*)′
13. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Tough question, do platonic count as well? Because right now the Dad Might-Izuku and Dadzawa-Izuku (as in a father-son healthy relationship!!) is on top 1.
(*cough*TodoDeku & GaloLio*cough*)
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?
My OC-insert Rise of the Guardian fic. I already 3k+ words written, but I don't think I'm brave enough to continue it. I would have posted a snipped here, but it would be too long, boring and cringe for y'all, so I'll avoid it.
There's also my SI-insert as the SSB Ultimate Mii Gunner, but perhaps I'll be stubborn and shameless enough for that in the future. ꒰(@`꒳´)꒱
15. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogues, I think?
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Action scenes. I desperately want to describe fluidly the movements, but I'm afraid that I'm too schematic for that.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
If you don't want the reader to know immediately the meaning (if the language is made up, but you want to show off a bit like I did in Into the Nexus_Prologue) you should transcribe it as it is.
Otherwise, a direct translation in italics without showing the original language is better. (i.e. I usually encounter this issue in Pokémon fanfics: the authors sometimes type down both the "Pika"s and the meaning behind them continuously and on the long run it's a bit annoying.)
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Pokémon. The adventures of Ash Ketchum's daughter were a blast.
〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Hard to say. Since I started writing and fantasizing for my own amusement, they are all my precioussssss...
But if the ask is about "which one I would re-read more frequently", it would probably be Abbreviation. It's short-ish, has angsty feels and comfort in equal parts without forgetting the humor, so yeah.
20. What fic are you most proud of?
Mmmmmmh... Probably the Shivers & the Aftermath Series, along with PMD: Mega (Shinka) Mix.
They are among my oldest published fics and I worked hard on them, so, yeah, they're my babies!
So, this little introspection has been fun, @floralflowerpower unfortunately I didn't tag you last time because there hadn't been one, but thank you anyway for the mention! I don't know who to tag for this, but feel free to join the fun!
Hope I didn't bore y'all, type ya soon!

Fic author meme!
Tagged by: @charmandhex and @everqueen12; thanks dears!
Your name: Sanvi! 
Fandoms you write for: Mostly the Adventure Zone, a bit for a few others. I get inspired for different fandoms all the time, but being in a fic writer discord has helped me hang on to inspiration long enough to actually do something about it. 
Where you post: Mostly ao3 @ https://archiveofourown.org/users/sanvitheartificer! I used to post on fanfiction.net, but that was Long Ago and probably embarrassing. Tbh even my ao3 is embarrassing, so.. yes. Also I guess tumblr, occasionally? I feel weird posting on tumblr bc i don’t do oneshots often and other stuff is unwieldy to post on tumblr.
Most popular oneshot: I guess it depends on how you count one-shots? “fourteen-thirteen”, which is a Umbrella Academy fic, is unlikely to ever be finished and it’s technically one chapter, but also the story is bigger than one chapter even if it’s not a story I’m going to tell. “endings alone”, also for UA, is in second place, and that’s for sure a one-shot! I got those published right when UA was booming so that’s why, I think. 
Most popular multi-chapter story: deffo ‘how seven idiots stole the light of creation’! A silly TAZ fic set in an ostensibly modren age which is basically just an excuse for me to write mysteries and falling in found family love. It is pretty big in scale!
Favorite story you’ve written: See, I’m torn between seven idiots and Pokemon Balance: Bronze. Bronze is one that is soothing for me, that it even exists, and I’ve done some very cool art for it, and I love my worldbuilding for it. and I’ve been retroactively Nervous about ‘seven idiots’ for months now, for a variety of reasons! but like, i cannot tell you how many nights I’ve spent grinning my face off working on seven idiots and figuring out the plot twists, and it’s the farthest I’ve ever gotten into a story that big. It’s a really cool story and I can’t wait to finish it. 
Story you were nervous to post: Hmm, I think I was nervous to post ‘endings alone’, which involves several different neo-pronouns? but i was also filled with a huge ‘fuck-you-die-mad-about-it’ energy, too. usually i’m Really Hyped when i’m posting things, tbh, overwhelming any nerves. 
Do you outline: Yep! It’s often the first thing I sit down and bang out. I’ve recently started doing a thing where i outline just before i write something, like, outline a scene and then later go back and tie the scenes together, and that’s been working really well! But I think with longer WIPs, that fits into the skeleton that I create with Big Outlines. 
How many of your stories are complete: Um. do u mean ‘abandoned’  ...the real answer is, a solid six, with a few edge cases of ‘i guess you could probably count that as complete’? A lot of those are... hoooo boy. old writing. and none of them are more than one chapter. 
How many of your stories are in progress: Also a complicated answer, as it turns out! On AO3, I definitely plan to finish ‘seven idiots’ and ‘pokemon balance: bronze’, eventually, and I hope to finish the ‘forgiveness in seven parts’ series eventually, which is really just seven different parts of one story.  ‘The Woods’ is ancient and basically drawing mostly from the first season of Young Justice, which is to say it has an audience of Me Only, but I’m still a slut for codependency and poly and my caricatures of those characters and all the reasons I started writing it, so it may possibly get picked back up!  Hoooowever, the only thing I am actively in the process of writing for right now is an unpublished TAZ fic... Coming soon: About Lup and Davenport bonding and Merle and Lucretia bonding during the Stolen Century; working title, ‘father-daughter day!’ It’s very cute, and should clock in about 10k. Progress is slow but steady. 
A oneshot prompt from Charm! 
Evil Overlord Lucretia AU!
Finishing 'seven idiots’ and ‘bronze’ and maybe even ‘forgiveness in seven parts’!
Some other stuff on the backburner: i’d love to do more brainstorming for pen pals au, which was a back-and-forth tumblr thing that i contributed to a bit yyyyesterday I think. Really want to write some fic for The Strange Case of the Starship Iris, the Bromeliad Trilogy by Terry Prachett, possibly Girl In Space, and Fate and the Fablemaidens, though I don’t have any well-formed ideas for them. 
Do you accept prompts: Mmmmm I’m gonna say no not really. it’s hard enough to get myself to write the stuff I wanna write. I... yeah, prompts are not a way my brain can work. 
Upcoming story you’re most excited to write: I’m really fucking excited about all my projects but I am dying to get into Evil Overlord Lucretia; it’s just a super cool story and it has a bomb playlist already and I love it a lot. 
Tagging: @cakeandpi, @simplyaskeleton, @shadow-and-purgatory, if you wanna! <3

tagged by @monaramis ~
favorite games from the last 5 years? i’m notoriously terrible about actually finishing games, whether i enjoy the fuck out of them or not. 
pillars 1+2, dai, overwatch, and stardew valley, all for astronomically different reasons.
most nostalgic game? i still dream the original mario bros. theme sometimes, but probably ocarina of time. 
game that deserves a sequel? all i want in the world is for minako to be canon in some universe somewhere, and if that means persona 3 gets.... another persona 3? actually you know what, just fuckin put minako in persona q. i know it’s too late but you can FIX IT, atlus. 
game that deserves a remaster? idk how i feel about remasters, honestly. just. make new games. new games are neat. 
favorite game series?  probs persona, even though technically i’ve only.... finished p3. 
favorite genre? 
least favorite genre? most fps just don’t interest me at all. pew pew+scream not really my. forte.
favorite song from a game? mmmmm, i don’t really have an answer for this question. the dai soundtrack is pretty great, as is poe. 
favorite character from a game? akihiko sanada from persona 3, closely followed by shinji and minako. p3p is super important to me and i would die for these.... mostly dead kids. listen, i STILL wake up some days brokenhearted over p3′s ending. IT HURTS. 
favorite ship from a game? mmmmmeh, i’m not a big shipper. bela/merrill is insanely cute, though. 
favorite voice actor from a game? so uh i JUST FUCKING REALIZED THAT LIAM O’BRIEN WAS AKIHIKO’S ENGLISH VA AND. alkjf’lkjdaf’lkaj you guys. i don’t..... always love liam’s voice acting, but akihiko is my son and i’m all fucked up again. 
also, mercer’s eder gets me in my heart place. 
favorite cutscene? the scene in inquisition after haven, with the singing? yeah. super melancholy, hopeful, horrifying all at once. 
favorite boss? favorite boss experience was probably ashnard in fire emblem: path of radiance. like. beating him the first time was a miracle, but then the second time i played through the game soren was.... unholy, and ike just sort of. one-shot ashnard, and i may or may not have launched the controller ‘cause it was such a hot mess the first time. 
first console? SNES
current console or consoles? PS3, PS4, i’ve got a PS2 and gamecube floating around somewhere, as well as a PSP and 3DS. ..... that’s a lot for the number of games i.... actually play. 
console you want? meh
place from a game that you’d like to visit? i’m super struggling with names today, but the game w the silent, super ill protag w the sword and swooshy red cape and dopeass soundtrack? that one. 
place from a game that you’d like to live in? stardew valley. listen my dudes, parsnips grow in six days. 
ridiculous crossover that would never happen but would be super fun? uh, any battleroyale style game and sv. competitive farming with a side-helping of murder. 
book that would make a good game? ... pretty much anything by china mieville. railsea would be incredible, but like. mieville has an incredible mind for worldbuilding, and i want to run around like an idiot in all of his brain places. 
show/movie that would make a good game? mmm, hm. twin peaks? but mostly just setting. awkward atmospheric horror, eh? 
games you want to play? honestly, if i could grow the kind of consciousness that can handle soulsborne style games that would be super neat. 
have you gotten 100% completion in a game? uh, fire emblem, awakening. the hours i have on that game are unholy. 
have you cried over a game? persona 3 turned me into a ball of tears and existential crisis for literal hours, and i don’t even feel bad about it.

I missed out on the contest because I came to ME post-contest, but that is a steaming pile of bullshit to begin with, BEFORE the heaping amount of erasure/sexism/racism on top of it. This is such a cogent write-up of WHY.
I just got into ME last year so I completely missed out on all of this too and I’m definitely coming to it five years too late haha. so I’m sure this has all been said before. but sometimes it feels like I have five years’ worth of anger to catch up on
@al-spudnik said:
I totally grok this, even though I'm the hypcrite who writes about a default white redhaired "default" shep, arguably because of some shallow self-projection as a white, red-haired fan (I am not proud), but I own that. And GODDD you are right on every point, and I felt all the same discomfort in that beauty contest and her subsequent, like... guhgaghgh sexing up??
In my core though, I really strongly believe there is no "default" shep. It is SO important that this character - as she or he functions in the game - be a lens through which the player may project themselves, and thus, connect with the characters and universe. "canon" interepretations just fuck that up, and all that gets further complicated in fan works, which take on all their own rules and regs depening on what fantasy is being fulfilled.
I completely relate to the urge to have one “default” character to use consistently for the purpose of fic and art, even if your playable character is different (like it is for me -- I usually use Marian in fic/meta but further break down her character in “my headcanon realm” and turn that Hawke into my OC) but somehow even knowing that it’s always default femshep that I just can’t get over lmao.
there are some things that I do think make the most narrative sense for some of these protagonists to be, based on narrative and contextual clues of the story: Hawke as a mage, Inquisitor as a human (who else would embrace the Herald of Andraste thing so easily) or an elf (with all the elf history and Solas stuff). and that’s absolutely not to say OCs who don’t fit that are wrong (like, rogue!Hawke is my all time favorite class and background). but there’s a lot about Shepard that opens itself equally to all of the six backgrounds they make available, and of course you could headcanon one or a combination make the most, but ultimately they don’t have much influence on the story or the depth of Shepard’s character (save except for Arrival, if you had colonist and/or ruthless background). anyway all of this is to say I agree with you, though I would be willing to fight BW in a dark alley over my belief that it makes way more sense thematically, if not within the confines of their own world building, for Hawke and Shepard to be moc or woc
@dpdmstla said:
mmMMM also tbh bioware's thing abt how in the future everyone's more racially diverse always bothered me? like I personally love it, but w/o the actual in-game support/worldbuilding like w/ default shep, it just seems like a way to cop out of actually srsly engaging with race and whiteness etc. and kinda seems like that thing where white ppl "want" to be "oppressed" or be the minority, and also kinda harkens back to racist/eugenicist fears of the white race dying out??
that is a really good point and now I’m surprised I didn’t connect these dots sooner, but now that you mention it I’ve been thinking a lot about how human centrist movements almost undoubtedly stem from white supremacist movements (not just in the sense that the BW team copies their language to write Cerberus propaganda, but also in that I literally believe white supremacists would’ve started human-first movements in the ME ‘verse, and it makes complete symbolic sense to me that Cerberus is being run by an old-fashioned older white man with a genetically-engineered-to-be-perfect white woman as his right hand). running with that, I’d think that puts POC!Shepard’s relationship with Cerberus on thin fucking ice (especially if they’re a sole survivor like my Shep) and to me that’s another avenue to explore, like, what does it say about Shep that they agree to work with them anyway? but also, POC!Shep is now put in an infuriating and compromising position working with terrorists, that would undoubtedly color her relationship with TIM and probably also Miranda, at least until she gained her trust or defected.
on one hand I can understand preferring to cover this in codex entries and side notes in a video game because the main plot is an alien race attacking, not human sociopolitics, but also... if you present a status quo for the human race that differs from today, you should engage with it a bit. like, in one codex entry in kasumi’s loyalty they mention a second american civil war being fought over the usa expanding to include canada and mexico. i guaran-fucking-tee you a major trigger for that war would’ve been due to confederate loyalists and racism against mexicans. and yet we don’t see it mention of it ever again, lol.
as for BW using that canon as a cop-out, that’s true too. it always seemed to me that ME1 had more poc NPCs, and even though we got more with Sam and Steve, by ME2 and 3 the NPCs you don’t interact with were mostly white again. I feel like they addressed this somewhat in Andromeda but as it is it’s mostly inconsistent.

Q and A. . . Finally!!!
@druggeddraccus said: Favorite kkc character?  Favorite kkc storyline?  Favorite book/series that isn't kkc?  What made you all decide to do this blog?  
@halfthealphabet speaking!
Favorite character: Toss up between Denna and Auri. I will protect them at all cost.
Favorite kkc story line: I have a soft spot for the plum bob storyline.
Other favorite book/series: My list of favorite books is here. Happy reading!!
So I started this blog at like one in the morning because I kept comparing Hamilton to Kvothe and created a list of lines in Hamilton that are applicable to KKC. And then I thought, maybe I should make an incorrect quotes blog. Checked to make sure there wasn’t one, threw together a quick format, and posted the quote. I woke up with followers and notes and that’s the beginning!!
@frei-rancken:  well she ^^^ just invited me and i jumped in cause it’s fun. tho i’m rarely active as a mod on this blog which is shitty of me.
@logarithmicpanda: Elodin is my fave, followed closely by Auri (I was delighted when the slow regard of silent things was announced) 
In terms of storyline, I love when Kvothe gets back to the university, after adem. But also the begining of the university arc :D and so many other parts lol. 
I definitely recommend Uprooted by Naomi Novik and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, there are probably the best books I’ve read this year.
@halfthealphabet asked if I wanted to do it and I said hell yes. Then I proceeded not to be very active at all as a mod which makes me really sorry.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : My fav is probably... Kote or Devi. Yeah sounds about right! Um, as for joining I was just asked one day, and said sure! While I don’t post too much, I’m glad I was considered and asked <3
Story line wise, I really enjoyed too many of the arcs. Oh man one after another; all of them just so captivating and wonderful! But, I will admit, some were better than others. I really did enjoy Kvothe’s time with the Adem, and the arc where he screwed over Ambrose!
@kvothe-kingkiller : My favorite is Elodin. I love him so much. My favorite storyline is probably anything to do with sympathy or the magic in the books I love how pat actually describes how the *science* behind it works, unlike so many other fantasy series. Other than kkc I dont really know what my favorite series is... I really like anything by tamora pierce and I love game of thrones. Most other things I read are single books. I decided to do this since I loved what was being posted already and had a wealth of cabin pressure quotes that would fit perfectly.
@shineecandy said: wow congrats on your milestone! here’s a question for you: how do you deal with the wait???? it has been years. pat, please, i’m dying   
@halfthealphabet I read a lot and watch a lot of Netflix and check Pat’s blog obsessively. And write meta about it. And read more theories about it.
@frei-rancken: I just wait, and entertain myself with other things. Uni is stressing so i can’t focus on many other things. 
@logarithmicpanda We don’t. We are slowly going mad.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : I answered this in a much more long winded manner, so TL;DR I just want it to be wonderful and perfect so I will wait the best I can.
@kvothe-kingkiller : I watch waaaay too many shows and procrastinate on schoolwork so much that I dont often think about it. I’ve been waiting almost since WMF came out, gotten used to it a bit.
@dirty-n-evil said: Hi, huge fan of the KKC as well (obviously), but for the question I would ask the mods of this blog... what were each of your favorite moments through the books?  Not simply 'Name of the Wind' and 'Wise Man's Fear', but also 'Lightning Tree' and 'Slow Regard of Silent Things'? 
Hey, @halfthealphabet here
So I don’t think I can give just one favorite scene, but I will tell you that I thought The Lightning Tree was not a good addition to the Kingkiller Chronicle and that The Slow Regard of Silent Things is possibly the only flawless piece of writing I have ever read.
@kvothbloodless: Every moment is my favorite, but that being said, the scene in which Kvothe’s parents die never fails to make me cry.
@frei-rancken: It gets kind of difficult but maybe the Eolian’s pipes audition, or mostly when Kvothe tells stories about the Edema Ruh.   
@logarithmicpanda: all the scenes with Elodin crack me up! In the lightning tree, my favorite part was the ending, when you understand what happened. I love every single bit of the slow regard of silent things, but especially when Auri notices the child watching her and makes  a cartwheel. For Notw and Wmf, it’s a bit more complicated. Generally, I love worldbuilding scenes, and whenever a relationship progress in an interesting direction.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : I’m really swept away by all of it. From the characterization and the world building; mostly the building of languages. While there isn’t very MUCH, it’s still there. But, in NOTW I think my fav part was the boys trying to explain Bisexuality without quite having the proper words for it (assuming int he universe sexuality doesn’t quite fit into clear categories for words to be made). In WMF I think my fav part…. oh man this one is hard… but I think my favorite portion of this book was either his interaction with The Maer’s manservant or his time with the Adem and getting his ass handed to him by a small child. Both were very wonderful to me and well written. I can’t say anything about LT, since I have yet to have time to read it, nor more than the first page of SRST due to a lot of life issues and conflicts coming up. But, in retribution for such, I will do a ‘live’ read through of both like I did with NOTW and WMF where I took notes and shared them with you guys.
@kvothe-kingkiller: Honestly, anything to do with elodin. (tiny bit obsessed.) And in slow regard I really love when Auri find the gear and get’s it back to where she lives, (it’s been a while since I read it so I forget some of the names) and I haven’t read lightning tree in ages so while I remember the basic plot I dont really remember any favorite moment.
@freudcallsmedaddy said: What sort of theories do you have about the Cthaeh?
@halfthealphabet speaking. I think that the Ctaeth is more of Bast’s villain than Kvothe’s. So it might come back in other books, but not in Kvothe’s story. He didn’t know what power the Ctaeth even had. It could come into play in Kote's story . . .
@frei-rancken: While i read tons of theories i’m mostly a factual kind of person, so i go with it’s a fae it does not care about shackshit but it’self and its rules, it has a grudge against cinder so it sent kvothe to collide with him, but i’m totally lost on how is it going to happen.
@kvothe-kingkiller: My personal theory is that it’s a bit hyped as far as how much power it actually has. This may be just me being a science geek but the amount of decisions a person can make in the future are infinite. So infinite that even if you could see all of them, you could not possibly choose the course of a person’s life based on one conversation. You might be able to choose a basic-ish path but I honestly dont think its at all as powerful and scary as it’s made out to be.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : cRACKS KNUCKLES MMMMM BOY HOWDY AM I GONNA TRY AND KEEP THIS SHORT! Okay, so there are so many theories out there and I’ve read a few just to collect my own thoughts and ideas from. 
Now, the Cthaeh is a fae and a fae being. We know this because of Bast. It is a prominent and guarded fae due to its ability to tell the future and see the past; making it something VERY valuable and very tempting to try and encounter[NOTE: I am saying it only because we do not know (??) if the Cthaeh has an actual form and or even has a preferred gender really, or is a sentient being instead of a collision of other shit]. As, I believe, Bast said to Kote, it is actually guarded by the fae in the realm so that people don’t go to seek what it has to offer.
This leads to the automatic assumption that people had been seeking it and had been very upset and or disturbed by it’s tales of what was to come. The fae are taught to keep away, knowing that such information is already bad enough to know, let alone ask about. But that probably didn’t stop a few humans...[kVOTHE] or perhaps a few higher beings. Such as the Chandrian? I’m not saying that the Chandrian were able to go to the Cthaeh, but it is a possibility. It would explain some on how they knew where specific people would be and possibly what they would become. 
The Cthaeh also MIGHT not have started off as selfish and enjoyment seeking as we saw with Kvothe, but that also may be just a bit of a stretch. But, say it wasn’t. Say it was just trying to tell people like ‘Oh, hey, yeah in like 5 years your wife is gonna leave you for some hot headed dude who looks like this, so be careful!’ and that spiraled quickly out of control for obvious reasons. One would turn rather sadistic with the power, knowing it would just do more harm than good no matter how it was worded. But, that is just a very small half baked theory on the creature itself! But, going with such a creature or being was always in such a manner sadistic and rude, it would make sense of the fae to HEAVILY guard it. Bast did say people who got too close were killed, right? If I’m remembering that right at all. I remember something like that being said though.
To bring this sadistic being into play with the story for later and Kvothe, I’m going to nod to what was said above slightly; the Cthaeh wanted Cinder and Kvothe to butt heads and probably do SOMETHING to the course of the future. Also bringing back part of my theory of the Cthaeh not always being properly guarded, it may have accidentally sent Cinder on his strange mission and pillage at a more high hostility rate, depending on what was said, so the Cthaeh is sending Kvothe in to stop as much as he can before it’s too late.
TL;DR: Cthaeh fucked up when not guarded by the fae and sent the Chandrian on a brutal rampage to hide themselves and then told Kvothe his specific future to try and get him to steer towards stopping them.
So yeah, that’s what I got in a shorter version... I haven’t read LT, so if there was anything about the creature and Bast in it, I am not aware of it and hopefully will be soon when I get a chance to read
Anonymous said: how do you pronounce "Auri"
@halfthealphabet here I pronounce it like “aura” but with an “ee” sound at the end. Like, “or-ie” (Pat pronounces it like the others, I pronounce it incorrectly).
@kvothbloodless: I always pronounced it are-ee. Pretty much “sorry” without the ‘s’.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : “Ah-ri” OR “Auh-ree” OR “Are-ee”. Well, I guess theya re all the same now that I’m looking at them. Looking up now, I def say it like mod kvothebloodless. 
@kvothe-kingkiller: same as kote-the-inn-keeper and kvothbloodless
@displeasign said: What are you most looking forward to in book 3?         
@halfthealphabet: Closure
@kvothbloodless: Finding out how many of our half-baked theories were right.
@frei-rancken: answers. I really need to know how much of what it is said about kvothe is true and how much is just stories tell by people. 
@logarithmicpanda disaster. I want to know how Kote came to be
@kote-the-inn-keeper : Closure, answers, and an explanation as to why he chose to be an innkeeper to lay low instead of something else... i want my boy to be happy,,,,, le t kOTE BE HAPPY HHHHHHHHHHH
@kvothe-kingkiller: As others said, closure. on so many things I couldnt possibly list them all here. Also more Elodin. He’s really not a big character but he’s honestly my favorite, out of every book ive read and every show/movie ive seen. 
@octarine-ash said: For the q and a: What's your favourite actual kingkiller quote?                               
@halfthealphabet It’s such a quotable book but I use the quote, “You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way” very often. And I plan to get “Beautiful, seen” on the back of my neck. Also, I love the passage where Fela starts to fall in love with Sim.
@frei-rancken i cannot quote the entire book sadly. but... the kvothe quit grabbing at my boobs passage, the secrets as seen by Teccam, and like a shit ton of other ones.  
@logarithmicpanda the quote about loving something despite its flaws and because of them. It sums up my feelings towards the series actually.
@kote-the-inn-keeper : This one is super hard. There are WAY to many good ones and ones that i find really deep meaning in. And of course, some funny ones. The only one that comes ti mind this very second is a funny one: “You are the horseshit frosting on this horseshit cake.”
@kvothe-kingkiller: I cant find the actual quote through google and I dont really want to re-read both books on the spot to find it but I love when he’s being salty about math and poetry. Saying words for the sake of words and numbers for the sake of numbers are stupid. That quote got me through pre-calculus lol
Anonymous said: How did y'all create this blog? Is it like a side-blog or its own account?            
@halfthealphabet It’s a side blog. And it’s origin story is explained in the first answer :)
@princessmarysea said: This has probably already been asked but...what are your ships in kkc?? I love your blog btw it's really funny :D        
@halfthealphabet speaking: I have to say the only romantic ship I really care about being endgame is Sim and Fela (guys, their ship name should be Selas!!). They really are so sweet and wonderful. I want confirmation that Devi is into girls and guys (which is kind of a ship thing?). And I suppose this is a good time to mention that (although I love Denna), she and Kvothe would only have a disaster of a relationship at the point in their lives. Also, I ship everyone platonically. Especially with Denna because she needs more friends. And Mola and Auri could have such an awesome friendship as well.
@frei-rancken: Yeah mainly Sim and Fela. but if i have to come up with other ships Devi, Mola and Fela being in a happy poly relationship would be like... way too perfect. 
@logarithmicpanda Sim and Fela forever. I’m not a huge shipper though... Like if you throw any cute headcanon at me I’ll start low key shipping it.
@kvothe-kingkiller: Might be because I literally never ship anything, but... none. I mean I like sim and fela but as far as one that don’t already exist, none.
@kote-the-inn-keeper: so maaaaaaaaaany.... So many.... 
So: Kote and Bast, Kvothe and Devi, Kvothe and HAPPINESS, Sim and Fela, Wil and Mola, Wil and Sim (fite me..........), Fela and Mola (more soft/platonic), Devi and Fela, Hespea and Dedan, Tempi and Kvothe, Kote and JOY IN LIFE, Mola and Auri (PLATONIC ONLY!!!!!!!), Auri and PEACE IN LIFE (sobbing my bby let her be happy and safe pat i s2g), Kvothe and Auri (PLATONIC 100%), Kvothe and Denna, Denna and Fela (lOOK IT’D BE SO NICE JUST L I STEN), Denna and Devi (more friends than romance tho), Devi and Mola and Fela, and I think that’s all for now.
@jordantresser What do you think about Cameron Monaghan from Shameless as a young adult Kvothe? 
So @halfthealphabet speaking. I think he looks great and would act great, but also I hope they cast a man of color from Kvothe/Kote.
Hey @frei-rancken here. Well... yes and no. Like i love how he acts in general he is awesome but he looks a tad too devilish for me. Tho i would not be distressed if he were to be cast, it’d be awesome. And yes i concur with halfthealphabet it’d be great if the actor was a person of colour.  
@kote-the-inn-keeper : I didn’t even know who that was, so I looked them up. I’m going to say no, tbh. I just don’t think they fit with my headcanon face for Kvothe OR Kote.... I’d prefer someone who is of rromani origin to play Kvothe tbh; or of color. [EsPECIALLY BAST HAMILTON GUY DONT LET ME DOWN ]
@kvothe-kingkiller Again, it would be great for an actor of color to play him but I kind of think he was written to be at least very pale so that is probably not going to happen. And I think he has the right look, I’d say he would do a good job. (also yes, bast is not white, and neither are the cealdish. whoever casts this show, pls.)
