came across an older post about someone suggesting to nerf contraverse hold and found this in the replies

#fern.txt #gotta be one of the funniest things i read this week #i was looking for valid points too and they just started the post with ‘’i’m a hunter main’’ like. brother #i don’t have contraverse hold yet i was just looking them up to see if they could be useful to me #and as someone who already puts all my stat points into discipline so that i can use grenades as much as possible....... #this would be very epic for me indeed #even if i main a stormcaller and giving up chaos reach would sting but. i could switch to void if it meant more grenades man #someone else in the replies was like ‘’haven’t warlocks suffered enough?’’ #like. let us have this. we have like no edge in the crucible compared to both hunters and titans #chaos reach is considered op and yea ok when it works it works #but it’s also very very vulnerable like. it’s way too easy to shoot down a warlock in chaos reach #i once saw someone refer to it as ‘’here i am just shoot me beam’’ #but like. at the end of the day it’s as powerful as every other super?? #like if they have you they have you. no matter what class/super they have active #ya feel? #no hate to hunters btw! i love hunters they are v cute. but this was still funny.

17! 18! 30! 32! 38! <3 <3 <3

Thank you for these! 🥰 17. How obsessively do you sit and stare at your fic after you’ve just posted and wait for feedback? I don’t. Well, not immediately. I try to distract myself for at least half an hour to an hour after posting because by the time I post I’ve already gone mental from finaFinalreRerereadFiNaldefDEFDEF.def x34 and I need to calm down. But after that I compulsively refresh AO3 (for the Beth/Rio tag) and depending on the time of day I start replying to comments or wait for it until morning. I don’t re-read my own fic until at least the day after (and inevitably fix some v obvs spelling mistakes I got blind for during edits). 18. Do you have a WIP that you keep telling yourself you’ll eventually get back to, but deep down you know that’s probably a lie? A little while ago I would have maybe said Wild at Heart, but I recently started editing the new chapter and now I’m feeling that story again (I got a bit lost with it over season 3, and it’s a long fic I’m not really used to writing – I had no oversight in my notes and outline and ugh). I think when I do publish it might have a bit of a different tone, especially because I think I progressed a lot over the past six months as a writer. But I have by now accepted that I will never re-write those earlier chapters, so I’m just going to move on and continue the story. BTW. If someone can recommend a/their Word Processor to get a better oversight in longer WIPs, please do! There’s no published WIP I won’t get back to from what I see now. I have a few in my WIP-folder that are a lost cause, main reasons are either because I either forgot I wrote it to begin with, or because I don’t like my style or plot anymore. 30. Post a snippet from you’re a current WIP without context - no more than 300 words. From a WIP I definitely won’t abandon, but one that’s also taking me crazy long to write (because world-building):

Annie swallows everything down, but keeps the bowl of candies protectively close to her chest. “I can’t believe they reached out to you twenty years later,” she says, plopping down next to Beth. “I can’t believe they subpoenaed me.” Annie sits up. “Technically they summoned you—” Beth gives her a look that immediately shuts her up. “You know, it’s good they did. They probably got a notification that you got rid of your Dean-shaped baggage and thought: Presto Matcho, and let’s go!” “Maybe I don’t want to be matched up.” “Relax, sis. Just go out on a date, get those cobwebs cleaned out if he’s a seven or up, and move on with your life!” “Annie!” “You’re right, maybe don’t be that picky, make it a six.” Beth’s all fired up to blow a gasket when a man with a bird tattoo sprawled on his neck enters the waiting room, accompanied by a dark-haired woman in a suit. They’re in a heated discussion, going through a pile of papers that’s full of marked segments and bookmarks. Beth’s getting a bit lost in thought, looking at him when she feels Annie leaning her head on her shoulder. “I served him too,” she whispers in Beth’s ear, pulling her back into reality again. “You!” she hears the guy say, pointing at Annie, who immediately throws her hands up in defense, totally forgetting she was holding the candy bowl which immediately tumbles onto the ground, scattering its contents over the floor. “Hey, I’m just here for my sister, don’t come at me bro!” she tries to laugh it nervously away. He doesn’t think it’s funny. But his gaze lingers on Beth a longer time than might be appropriate before turning his attention back to the woman beside him. 32. Copy and paste your top three favorite lines/jokes/sentences you’ve ever written. What fics do they come from? I can have different favorites varying on the week / day. It usually changes when I post a new fic. Sometimes I’m not even super in love with a line when I post it, but it grows on me when I re-read later. So just three random ones: Regardless of his repeat observation of ‘you’re so tight, baby’, she’s definitely not going to indulge him with the Snoozefest Saga of her sex life of the past decade.  – from Stuck in the Middle It’s a decision he almost immediately regrets. Apparently, Elizabeth is very convinced of her (faulty) navigation skills. And mind you, he has an essentially AI-worthy navigation system build into his (“Is this what you drive? Don’t you think it’s a little… out there? Like, surely you don’t really need something so preposterous to arrive in?” she had laughed cutely after that, but he felt slapped in the face – and not the kind he might be paying her for) G-wagon. – from The Girlfriend Experience “Yeah,” he smiles. “We real good friends too, aren’t we?” he says suggestively. (It’s just, he can’t help it, knows it’s dumb and petty but ugh. He’s suffered through Mick’s eye-rolls enough after returning from a No Elizabeth Murder Night again. The other guy casually looking up from polishing his custom ninja throwing stars - don’t start about it, it’s a whole thing, and Rio’s convinced the man can’t even get them into a wall a three feet away if he wears that one jacket - waiting for Rio to cock his head and ask: “What?” “Nothing,” he had replied, dipping a cloth into the jar of polish. “’Nothing’?” Rio had repeated – a little more petulant than he intended. “What are you, my wife?” Ever so slowly, the corners of Mick’s mouth had turned upwards. “Heard spot’s taken.” Rio may have keyed Mick’s car that night.) Beth smiles back stiffly. - from I See Your True Technicolors I don’t know, I really like doing these kinda scene-in-scene (or sentence) things, I don’t know if this has a name. 38. What does your writing process look like? How chaotic is it on a scale of 1 (very tame) to 10 (you can’t handle this kind of chaos)? Hmm that kind of depends what part of the process we’re talking about. Let’s roughly break that up in three parts: 1. Working out the idea (8/10): Really, really chaotic. This is just days or weeks of just flashes of ideas and plotpoints and lines of dialogue shooting through my brain. Haphazardly writing those down in various docs, on paper in between my work notes, or in the notes on my phone. When I finally know the rough outline of the story I go into; 2. Writing the fic (4/10): I’m a super chronological writer, I really move from scene A to B to C until I finally arrive at Z. But when I start writing I often only really know A, D, E, J, O, Q, Z – the rest will just grow or appear organically as I write. Sometimes it does mean I won’t write for a few days because I circle back to step 1 for a certain scene. A good example is the Artic Hunter Fairytale Beth tells Jane in Chapter 2 of  I See Your True Technicolors. I knew up front I was going to write a scene where we would see how this seemingly unweighted moment for Beth – she’s just telling a nighttime story – had a massive impact on Jane. There were some themes and motives I felt like needed to make an appearance: the more tangible reason of Jane’s quest, how young kids often hold their parents’ word as truth, and I needed it to be a true heartfelt moment between Beth and Jane. But before I wrote the first line of that scene I had no idea that would be the scene that it became.  So I do outline a bit, but I need to create enough room for myself for moments like that to happen. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about writing. It’s a bit of an organized mess within a tighter frame/outline. 3. Editing (7/10): I’ve really been perfecting my Editing skills over the past 6/7 months  – it’s not perfect, but you live and you learn. I spend more time working on the fic after I ‘finished’ it, really ramped up the spelling and grammar checks (I love you Word editor, but I also hate you), and take more and more care to make sure that all my dialogue feels IC ánd distinctive enough per character (especially the latter I feel like lacks in earlier WAH chapters). So, work in progress, but I feel pretty confident in this one.   Again, thanks for sending these! <3

top five old ships that you don't have anymore?

omg. i don't even talk to most of the ppl i used to have ships with which tbh, makes me cry. but i can give u a list, definitely! (btw these are in no particular order, i love them all sm they're not more important than the other) 

katelyn cole (zoey deutch) & alex wood (aaron taylor-johnson) (aka katelex) this was one of my first ever ships? and in retrospect, not a gr8 ship because it was super toxic and abusive, tbh. that's not the part of the ship i miss, though. they had a really cute daughter together & i miss the moments they were with lexi. i also just really miss that feeling? being on the edge of your seat, loving a ship so damn much. so i guess i just miss the excitement of having that first intense ship more than the actual ship.

maisie pritchett (maia mitchell) & baz payne (justin bieber) (aka baisie) this was one of the most amazing experiences in my rp career because of the rp this was in, tbh. so like... this one was a rlly weird ship? i guess it was more of a br(otp). they were super angsty exes that always broke my heart. baz was played by the amazing @mlkhoney who honestly amazed everyone with him. they were nearly always fighting but they had glimmering moments where they were friends & they had rlly, rlly small romantic moments. i can't fully explain it, but i miss them sm.

natalia valdez (selena gomez) & zander henare (calum hood) (aka zatalia) HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN ZATALIA. uGH. this was the cutest ship of all damn time. so awkward, and cute, and just dghdkfjh!!!!!! i love them sm. a smol, funny nerd falls in love with an angry, angsty nerd. and they adopt a dog together and i just!!!!! this will forever be one of the ships that i've ever had. plus it's with the amazing @oliverquccns

gianna pope (zoey deutch) & austin powell (colton haynes) (aka austanna) #tbt to kingsley, aka one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life. i had this amazing ship with an amazing person (i haven't talked to her in literally YEARS) but basically, i had this rlly rough, military brat character & he was kind of a cute, funny guy, but also v stubborn. and like... they hated each other. but they hated school more. so they ran away together for a weekend (literally just out of opportunity bc they hated each other) and slowly fell in love. basically, they still slay my damn heart. to this very day.

veronica king-royal (zoey deutch) & checkers royal (marlon teixeira) (aka veckers) so i joined this rp back in 2015, berwick, & met some rlly rad people in there (one of them being @lorinhale) these two started as a complete coincidence in a supernatural rp (she was a vampire, he was a hunter). then we made like, a billion & one aus with them and they're just rlly sexual, yet always goofy? like... they just love to love each other & their kids (they have four all together). and just!!!!!!! i love them sm.
