Stranger Things, Vol. 1 Track 01: "Stranger Things"

Significance: title track, appears every episode over main title credits; originated by the phrase, "stranger things have happened"; also a play on Stephen King's Needful Things Notable Appearances/Similarities: theme is used within other ending/cliffhanger songs; extended version occasionally plays over end credits; "To Be Continued" from the s2 finale ends with the theme; orchestral cover by Rob Simonsen plays over the ending scene of s4

The (printed) collection

From time to time I get a question like, "do you have this or that book?" So, a few weeks back, I finally took them all out of their hiding place and grabbed some photos. Wish I had used my camera instead of phone, I had to stand on a chair to get it all and yeah, the picture is not the sharpest.

Anyway, I have some other stuff, figures and such, although I admittedly DO focus more on books as an artist/writer/translator. These books are the ones I translate from so I wasn't going for mint conditions, although a few of them are. You can see some of them still packed in the store bags. I included the CDs cause... well, they were next to the books and they do have some printed material as well.

The Shiren Suiki book gets a separate photo cause after taking the photos at home I realized I had left it at work when I scanned it... practically crying as I did cause it was barely opened when I bought it and it's a beautiful book. My Anvils are also very fragile.

I may do a complete list one day but for now, here are the quick descriptions.

ARTBOOKS & FANBOOKS I have pretty much all of the major official books I think, missing maybe 1-2 pieces. The one that may look less familiar is Hiroshi Osaka's personal artbook. I also have four of the relevant Nobuteru Yuuki artbooks. The bottom right one with the orange title is the issue of Newtype Magazine with a feature about Esca.

SMALLER BOOKS (let's pretend that's a category) Here I got all the novels (they are out of their sleeves cause I was working on them), all the filmbooks, Secrets of Escaflowne, Escaflowne Bible, and the Energist Memories manga/doujin collection.

DOUJINSHI I was mostly going for stuff I haven't seen online so I only got a handful. Besides the Shiren Suiki book, there are three Minato Tajima doujins (one of them is racy heh but I'm not hiding that I have it). One of the other doujins may look unfamiliar; it's a compilation book that includes other series (the character on the cover is from DN Angel). People who talk to me on Discord probably recognize the Nanoka doujinshi cover.

CDs AND THE LIKE I don't have all the soundtracks for some reason, probably cause I thought the missing ones wouldn't be hard to get. The PSX game is the special edition with the tarot cards. The LDs that I literally bought just for the covers and inlays. I also have all the audio dramas, some CDs with extras... and a phone card that was for some reason packed in a CD case lol (kidding, it's precious that they would give it that kind of protection). Oh, and there are two movie posters which I guess don't fall under either category.

I have some other stuff that is kinda related to Esca "by association" such as by artist or things that "looked similar" but I didn't include them. Also the figures. I may update this post with those but this is the brunt of it. I will be posting some goodies from these soon!

Same goes for the ongoing translations that I've been doing updates on in this post. Life is too short to delay them for months and years because of perfectionism, or rather, being self conscious about one's imperfect language skills. I am thankful to everyone who has helped me so far, proofreading my translations (coverteyes, pikafwance, sevenstars, and radical-rad1986)... I'm not tagging you guys but know that I'm VERY grateful, also to the other people who are helping me with other projects). I always had fun working together with you but it's no longer sustainable and I likely bit off more than I can chew. So I will get myself out of the way. There are two books that are almost complete as of today so I will just probably go chapter by chapter. I hope to be done with this asap but also December is a busy month for me so I'm not sure how smoothly it will go. Let's hope it does.

5 Songs Tag - QL Shows Edition

Tagged by @troubled-mind, here we go!

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL shows that you actually listen to.

🎶They do not have to be custom-made for the series. 🎶Non-western tracks only. Let's support Asian music and languages! 🎶Feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.

🎶Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favourites!

Eternal Yesterday - Sunshower, Ayumu Imazu

Eternal Yesterday, my beloved, is a gorgeous Japanese bl about losing a love too early, grieving and accepting the loss, and treasuring your final moments together. So naturally, its theme song is a bop! Sunshower is a classic in one of my favorite music genres - peppy pop songs that are actually sad as fuck if you listen to the lyrics. Sharing a translated lyric video here for maximum pain.

I Told Sunset About You - Skyline, Billkin and PP Krit

Kat, you knew I was gonna put an ITSAY track on here to further entice you, right? The OSTs for both ITSAY and IPYTM are amazing and I listen to them constantly. Skyline is the theme of the first series, and there are several versions of it used throughout the show in both Thai and Mandarin. This video is a brilliant fan-made mash-up of the two language versions.

Red Balloon - 框不住的愛, Evangeline

Red Balloon is the lesser known Taiwanese bl predecessor to Your Name Engraved Herein (it even has the same lead actor). It's a gorgeous story of impossible first love, and it has a soundtrack of beautiful melancholy tracks like the above.

Love Sick - ผ่าน, Gunsmile Chanagan

Love Sick has a banger soundtrack. Most people remember Shake by the legendary Boy Sompob, but I have always been partial to this track (and I was today years old when I realized Gunsmile is the singer, @bengiyo did you know this!!).

The Eighth Sense - Who, Wetter

You didn't think we were getting out of here without me mentioning Wetter, did you? I love all their tracks on t8s soundtrack, but this is the one that played in the first episode and made me sit up and say what is this? I immediately ran to the internet and found all their stuff.

Thanks for giving me another excuse to make a list! Tagging @wen-kexing-apologist, @callipigio, @blmpff, and @negrowhat if you want to play.

[lexosaurus]

Lexx, outta curiosity do you have an archive of all your past banners and icons? I'm curious to see the evolution if so

As a matter of fact, I do save them all!

Here is a history of the icons (no dates tho cuz im not digging that info up):

Technically the first icon I had was just a generic dp screenshot. I can't remember what is was now. I think it was like 6-8 months before I began making my own icons.

This was the first "custom" icon I made. I created this amazing look on an app called Pizap, which was the first photo editing app I'd ever tried. At the time, it was free to use (I don't believe this is the case anymore? I don't have it anymore so idk). As you can see from the incredible quality, I was truly a master from the start.

I could be mixing up 2 and 3's order, but I'm like 99% sure this was icon 2. I made it for Pride Month because I'm asexual, and I used that same app. I put this icon in every June.

This is icon 3, again still using Pizap. This is sort of the "base" icon that I use for everything now. I really should update this now, but part of me almost likes the retro meme aesthetic.

Here's icon 4, which is just icon 3 but with a Disney Princess hat on it that I put in using Photopea my beloved. I made this after the premier of the Disney soundtrack I participated in.

Icon 5, this was the one you made me in ms paint. Literally still obsessed with it thank u 🤌

After that I went back to icon 3 for a while. This one has always just spoken to me in a way that no other icon ever could.

When Apple threw the goddamn chains on Tungle dot gov and banned like 300 fucking tags, I quickly took icon 3 and threw a censored bar over it because Apple decided to ban the tag "Lex". This tag is still banned on my iphone, along with many others.

As of two days ago, this is now my icon, which will stay for as long as this meme is hot. Honestly, I am just honored that people are finally acknowledging one of my favorite movies of all time. The sound design on it was impeccable, and the score was a true masterpiece.

As for my headers, I've only ever had like 2 of them so they're not really an evolution. I plan on actually redoing it soon because there's something about this design (I'm not specifying what) that has always bugged me. So I can do the header evolution after I've sorted that out.

But honestly I love making little iterations to my icon. I just think it's really funny. The goal is always to be recognizable to those glancing by, but still different enough that someone who actually looks will be like, "wait a second..." (with the exception of pride month which has ace colors).

#danny phantom #lexx lore #what is next after goncharov? #will i finally redesign the icon to be an HD quality? #will i update the memes? #your guess is as good as mine

5 Songs Tag - QL Shows Edition

Thank you for tagging me @disasterbabygirlnick (x) and @morkofday (x)! 🥰

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL media that you actually listen to.

Thangamey - Paava Kadhaigal

I can't stop screaming about Paava Kaidhagal enough, and this episode was so emotional. I love this song so much, and it is a beautiful song but I still feel so much pain listening to this. When this starts playing on shuffle, it always a bittersweet feeling.

2. เพลงที่เพิ่งเขียนจบ (Our Song) - Bad Buddy (Nanon Korapat)

Of course I was gonna include this. There is no way I was gonna leave this out. It is my baby's song from my fave series. It is special. I still remember not being able to process the song when it came out during episode 11. Like I could not watch the MV after the episode. It was such an emotional attack. I would have also included Just Friend?, but I could not find the rock version the both of them did for OhmNanon1stFM. That version of Just Friend was always be on another level!

3. 不忘 - The Untamed (Wang Yibo)

The whole CQL soundtrack is beautiful. But this is my favourite song from the OST. Yibo's voice is just so beautiful and it goes straight to your heart. He brings out LWJ's emotions so beautifully.

4. รักษา (Healing) - My School President (Gemini, Fourth, Ford, Satang)

MSP is a musical, and all the songs are beautiful! But my absolute faves are Healing and Come Closer. I'm adding an alternate version of Come Closer below instead. The way all their voices mash so soulfully here!! And I love the lyrics.

5. จังหวะตกหลุมรัก X อีกนิด (Magic Moment X Come Closer Mash Up) - Beluca Concert (Tay Tawan, New Thitipoom)

This might be cheating. But I do love Come Closer alot, and I love this mashup version of it so much. So I am linking this. Ford's voice texture is so similar to Tay's. So I love that they did this. I lost my mind when I heard it on the stream.

Honorary Mentions:

คิด(แต่ไม่)ถึง (Same Page?) - Tilly Birds Do I need to explain? This started the whole BB journey and is the anthem of the fandom.

ข้างกัน (City) - Three Man Down I liked the song after Vice Versa, but after MSP, I really fell in love with the song. It just tugs on the heartstrings so nicely.

เพื่อเธอแค่หนึ่งเดียว (Living For You) - Never Let Me Go (Phuwin Tangsakyuen) I screamed when he played this song on the piano in NLMG. I just really love how soft and vulnerable this song sounds. It's just raw with a voice and a piano. I love it.

Tagging: @highwarlockkareena @i-got-the-feels @fuujiikaze @first-kanaphan @telomeke and anyone who wants to do it (Just tag me if you do! I love getting music recs) ! No Pressure :)

BL/QL Ask game : The Ugly, the Bad and the Worst

Thank you for tagging me @twig-tea 🙏 I read your post and the questions while going Ohhh interesting but when I actually tried to answer them myself, I realized that I'm usually pretty positive about the shows I watch or else I just move on from them. Most of the time, I don't fault characters or a whole show for being bad anyway, it's more the writing/script, directing choices, or editing that I tend to have gripes with.

So! Of the entire 22 original questions (by @clara-maybe-ontheroad), I'll only be answering a handful. This will also only be about Thai BLs because they make up the vast majority of QLs I've seen.

1 Worst soundtrack / weirdest song choice in a BL

My knee-jerk reaction was "Never Let Me Go country song NC" lmao but then I went to rewatch said scene and it barely stood out to me. So after re-thinking I'll have to nominate two shows: Dangerous Romance and Until We Meet Again, for basically the same reason.

Chimon's OST สายลม (Wind), which I actually fell in love with when it dropped because Chimon's voice was such a pleasant surprise, is being entirely overused in DR, to the point that I'm starting to tire of a song that I actually like. Honorable mention: The completely random and unnecessary stage performance of Perth and Chimon's ซบกันไปนานๆ (Sunset) in ep. 5. Was it not enough to have them sing and vibe to it in the car earlier in the same episode??

Similarly, UWMA's OST is either entirely by one guy or entirely one song but it sure was grating on me, my patience and my enjoyment of the show. P'New series are already hit or miss for me but that singer/song/OST had me so fed up.

5 Worst plot line

The first show I ever dropped was Star In My Mind which is ridiculous considering how short it is. But the entire premise of Kluen being unable to open his goddamn mouth frustrated me to no end. I did pick it back up again at a later point though, so I could watch Sky In Your Heart and indulge in the JoongDunk cuteness from there on out.

7 A show people love but you find bad

I'm sorry to say but- it's Vice Versa. It was one of the first Thai QLs I watched along with as it aired but ultimately I gotta say Oof. It has a fun premise, the cinematography is super nice, and it's genuinely sweet. But the amount of product placements was staggering! I also just didn't vibe with JimmySea's chemistry, they just gave too much Friend energy for me to find them believable as a couple. They're not the only ones or the only series where I didn't really find the spark but that's not a Them problem. That's a me 'Needing my fictional couples to be head over heels for each other for my acespec ass to see/experience the attraction and connection' problem lol

8 A show people find bad but you will defend

Cutie Pie! And I will die on this hill, @twig-tea 😂 It has everything I love: good production quality, good acting, tangible chemistry between the couples (see last question lol), complicated emotions, push-and-pull between the romantic leads, a dedicated cast and crew, a great OST, I'm certain I'm forgetting a lot of stuff but there's just so much I love about this show.

At its core, it's about two people who turned themselves into the versions they think they should be for each other, based on their upbringing, expectations placed upon them, status differences etc. and how they learn to be honest with themselves and each other.

I've re-watched this show a number of times, each with different levels of Thai proficiency, which made me consider that this show might've been such a hit in Thailand but not as much internationally because there's maybe a language and trope/culture barrier here? On my first-time watch, I knew no Thai and was largely unfamiliar with what tropes are common in Thai romances and such. At the time, the show didn't hit me very much, I struggled to make sense of that pivotal fight in episode 1, I enjoyed the singing, it was mostly just a nice romance. On my most recent re-watch a few months back, I had reached the point where I could follow a spoken conversation in Thai as long as there were translated subs to guide me along. And suddenly the full weight of episode 1 but especially the fight at the end, setting up the central conflict, hit me and I realized: Oh wow! This is good writing! Introduce your characters, their backgrounds, their goals, and the show's core conflict and that's how you hook viewers.

This has already gotten long enough but I wanna mention how much it means to me to have this show not just call for marriage equality repeatedly but also to have them shout it out to the world by having their mlm couple fully make out in what is arguably one of the busiest corners of Bangkok - Siam Square! More specifically it is the area with the fountains between Siam Paragon on one side and Siam Center on the other, and the skywalk (that connects the various malls in the area) as well as the central BTS station Siam both overlooking that space. It's also called Parc Paragon, there's frequently events there, and it is busy as all hell!! And they not only cleared it for filming a lengthy queer kiss scene but, in the show, the huge LED/ad screens are used to project pride colors, a call for equal rights, and a queer marriage proposal in plain view of the entire square!

If you've never been to Bangkok, I beg you to look up photos, via Google Street View or the IG location tag for Parc Paragon so you get an idea of what I'm talking about. 🙏 (this isn't the only busy prominent location they used btw but djdjhdjsdj let's not write a whole damn essay here)

10 A bad show that you kept watching because you were intrigued/fascinated

Dinosaur Love - I watched the first episode, excited for Tonnam and Pepper, and found it charming with its low budget, pink-filtered tropey-ness. Except I quickly realized that this show was Actually Bad. The framing and blocking were often a big question mark to me. The pink filter and the background music got annoying quickly. The acting was subpar. At some point in episode 2 I started questioning if they ever even did more than one take per scene. There was a panning shot involving a mirror where the crew is just fully visible in the reflection?? Suffice it to say that I dropped this show like a hot potato when episode 3 very suddenly and very graphically had a side character self-harm. Squicked me out like nothing before, moving on!

11 A bad show that you kept watching because you were horny

I mentioned this already but I'm on the aro/ace-spectrum (...somewhere, don't ask me specifics lol) so I don't really watch shows for horny or eyecandy reasons. If I don't vibe with the characters or dynamics then I won't even perceive them as sexy, to be honest.

12 A bad show that you kept watching because of that one character

Why R U (the og Thai one), I guess? Everyone who's seen it probably knows that the production and filming suffered because of Covid so I wouldn't hesitate to call this show bad on that basis. I set out to watch it because I wanted to see more of Zee Pruk's acting, in another role, after having seen Cutie Pie. And Fighter ended up being most of the reason I stuck around till the end. The nuanced struggle with his own sexuality was so well-portrayed. Tutor is a very memorable character as well! And I'm entirely 🥰 about Hwa, she just perfectly fits this character archetype that I will always, without fail, completely adore.

21 The show that disappointed you the most

Most of the time, I either don't have big expectations or I let go of them quickly enough once I get a vibe for where a given show is going. The closest thing to 'disappointment' would then probably be all the shows that I kept seeing being recommended and hyped but that didn't leave a lasting impression on me after watching, like KinnPorsche, Love Mechanics, Manner of Death. None of these are bad OR disappointing and there's things I genuinely enjoyed and liked in them but ultimately I just didn't Get why they're so popular. I'm sure part of it is to do with me not having been around to follow along on a week-to-week basis but watching them long after they were done airing, basically in a vacuum. But alas!

I don't know how you managed to do all 22 questions, Twig Tea, when this fraction has already taken me like five hours 💀 Passing this time-eating curse on then to @airenyah @cangse-sanren/@zeesqueere @sadwetcatray @sorry-bonebag @telomeke @thegalwhorants @pharawee I'm sure this tag is making the rounds so some (if not all) of y'all have probably done this already. If anyone I didn't tag reads this and wants to play, feel free to tag me in it, I do enjoy reading hot takes and impassioned essays lol

20 Questions for fic writers

Tagged by @dear-massacre

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Twenty-one. Twenty fics and one weird standalone soundtrack, lol.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

195,750.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just Teen Wolf so far, but I maybe I'll get around to some ideas I have for The Sandman or something else one day.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Thunder (Sterek. 12.1k. Explicit. Depressed loner Derek meets on-the-run Werefox/Kitsune Stiles in rural Montana.)

The Cold Moon (Sterek, 40.6k. Explicit. Part one of a story where Stiles is forced across a mysterious boundary by Hunters and encounters a semi-feral Alpha Derek. My first published fic.)

Second Chance Strays (Sterek, 8.5k. Explicit. Mage Stiles, Derek, & Larem the deer alone in the wilderness. A Fuck or Die situation ensues when a darach attacks.)

CLAIM! (Sterek, 11.9k, Explicit. Misunderstandings and making up after Derek & Stiles meet at Jungle and hook-up.)

Customer Service (Sterek, 10.9k. Explicit. Surly barista omega Derek and human college student Stiles. Banter, vulgar latte art, and heat sex. Dominant Derek, Service Top Stiles.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! Sometimes it takes a while, but comments are appreciated and I know I like getting responses.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I guess Amīca (Derissa) because it's an unresolved pre-relationship fic that's meant to be the first In a series. I've been a happy ending gal, so no real angsty ones so far. The angst is in the beginning and/or middle!

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The rest of them? 😂

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I haven't yet. Knocks on wood.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. Most of my fics have smut at some point, lol. Or belong to series that do/will.

Um, barebacking and creampie/breeding. Cum eating or play and marking in general, including hickeys and biting.

Virgin/first time bottoming, praise kink, light degradation, and knotting are also in a number of stories. Some spanking, bondage and pinning, and generally low-key dominance and submission. Chasing and claiming and a few omegaverse or just self-lubrication. (I have plans for more.)

All M/M or M/M/M so far, but I have WIPs and notes with other combinations. I have a bunch of Kinktober bits from 2022 to turn into fics that I'm both nervous and excited about. And lots of other ideas too.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Not yet, but I have a summary for a Sterek Teen Wolf/The Sandman crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. Sounds both fun and kinda scary.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Sterek is what finally got me into fanfiction and the whole shipping fandom thing a few years ago, so I gotta go with them. I enjoy a bunch of others from Teen Wolf too (especially Steter, Stetopher, and Sterek + various people) and from other fandoms.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I currently intend to finish all my WIPs, but who knows what the future will hold. I have 3 posted WIPs that I definitely plan to complete: The Wolf Moon, The Depths, and 15 Shades of Red. I have dozens of unposted ones that I also hope to finish...eventually.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Apparently dialogue, world building, characters' inner thoughts, and being funny sometimes. Coming up with ideas.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Epithets. It's just tricky when the characters have the same pronouns and I hate writing their names over and over. (I don't mind when other people do it though, so 🤷🏽‍♀️. But then I'll be like, "I can't say Derek three times in this paragraph!")

I've started looking for ones to remove whenever I edit now (and I'm cringing thinking about earlier stories that I should re-edit at some point,) but I still use some and am self-conscious about it.

Also, sometimes I info dump, but that doesn't bother me so much. Boom, here's a bunch of background now let's get on with it, lol.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've used a few words in Polish here and there in some stories, but I probably wouldn't try to write whole conversations in another language unless I was familiar with it or could ask someone about it.

There's some Patois/Patwah in Irie, which was interesting to write because there's no one set spelling of many words, so it was part looking at common ones and part "What did it sound like/how was it phrased when this relative or family friend said something like this?"

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I vaguely recall thinking up scenes, dialogue, background, etc, for a story with Byakuya Kuchiki/Shūhei Hisagi from Bleach approximately 5 billion years ago when I was a teenager, but I don't remember if I ever actually wrote anything. Definitely didn't finish or publish anything. So...Teen Wolf.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Hmm. I can't say that I have a favorite. I only started actually writing from my list of fic ideas around 16 months ago, IIRC. Maybe if I look back on them all after enough time passes I'll be able to pick one out (though knowing me...still probably not,) but right now they're all just...floating around in my head and also mixed with the particular experiences of writing them, idk.

Here's a recent one that was fun to write:

Legs (Sterek, 4.3k. Explicit. Snark and smut after college students Derek and Werecreature Stiles cross paths at the mall.)

If you want to play along, tag, you're it!

Idk I got autism powers. Also making writing even a little everyday as a goal is a good way to form a long term habit of doing it every day.

What does the average chapter of your fics go through before being published?

A lot more than people think that's for sure! We pre draft our fics general plot and major events before starting. As for chapters: Abby and I write an outline together. Once completed I will write the chapter. After that Abby goes through to fix character interactions, add depth, and fix my awful spelling mistakes. I then go over Abby's edits and completely reread the chapter to make sure it's cohesive. Give it a silly name and add a song that's related to the vibe and then she's live, baby.

Mostly Pup, Rob Zombie, TPOF's soundtrack, Harley Poe. Sets the mood for the type of stuff I write.

What do you call each fic YN?

We named each of our yn's to refer to them more easily. Syg yn is Ryan. Thio yn is Dylan. Ycyd yn is Dianne. Ho1c yn is Joan.

When is the published version of spill your guts coming out?

No idea. It needs to be drafted and redrafted, edited and reedited, and then I gotta query for agents.

Spill your guts is getting a published version??

Yes! However because of bad writing and copyright it is being completely overhauled. The story is mostly the same but better. The characters are different. Goober is even goobier. It will be split into two to three novels due to word count restrictions.

Head cannons?

I'm not a matchup, head cannon, or mini fic blog. I talk about my fics mostly. If you have questions about those fics I'm happy to answer.

Will you be writing more fanfiction?

Yes I am currently writing house of 1000 courses with Abby. It's our take on a various x reader and mansion fic. It will update slowly. We are both busy and trying to focus on the book.

Why haven't you answered my ask?

I've been getting a huge influx of asks recently and it's hard to take the time to answer all of them. Sometimes I just need to think on it, other times I don't know quite how to respond. I appreciate your kindness and curiosity but I am just a regular guy.

Kys

Thank you

Is there anywhere to support you and Abby?

Fanfic writer bingo

Tagged by @greypetrel and @shivunin and thank you so much for the tag!! I had a blast with this XD XD XD XD Let's go!!

We got ourselves a bingo!!!!! (I think. I never played bingo)

Some notes on the above below the cut

I do roleplay online!! Apart from playing D&D of course, I have met some really cool people here with whom I also roleplay my Dragon Age OCs. It's a ton of fun

I have beta-read for friends from time to time and I enjoy it! I like going through a text and picking up what works and doesn't work and also squeal about it

All my published fics are unbeta'd (though I do rewrite each chapter once before publishing it)

Screams and typesmashes are a love language and go with more analytical bits like salt and vinegar go on potato chips (best flavor)

Fanfiction is a literary genre with its own conventions, rules, sets of expectations, and so forth. Fight me

I have so many unpublished fics and stories. Mostly from other fandoms. I have been writing since I was 11

Editing and formatting before posting was once hell to me (now it is no longer). I formatted everything I posted on AO3 with html. Which means I went through the whole chapter to put this <p> before every paragraph and this </p> at the end of every paragraph just to get a paragraph spacing I liked. Not to mention italics and shit. It was exhausting. Thank God for the rich text editor, now I do about a quarter of the work for the same result

I have never written drunk, but I have written sleep-deprived, which has about the same effect

And when I write I don't need any food or drinks, but precious we wants them!! What I do absolutely need is music. Mostly ambiences. Skyrin, the Witcher, Unravel (which I know nothing about except that it has a beautiful very calming soundtrack), AmbientGuild, or ambiences of the places in DAO are all things I have running in the background on a regular basis. For action music I also sometimes put on D&D battle music. For extremely calming music I recommend this DAO camp ambience (link takes you to Youtube)

All my fics deserve more attention, and I say this very flippantly. I really don't look at the numbers anymore right now XD XD XD XD The story is worth the writing

I will have published at least one fantasy novel before I die

This was very great fun XD XD XD XD I am going to tag, of you want to participate, all of my ficwriter friends. @oxygenforthewicked @bumblewarden @icy-warden @wild-houseplant @scribbledquillz @kingdomvel @the-iron-lion @yukichouji feel free to take a go at this if it feels fun ^^ And also you, if you have gotten this far and would like to participate. Have a lovely day all of you!!

Author Ask Tag Game!

Thank you so much to @mthollowell-writes for the tag! I am really getting a lot of these now and I love it.

I'm choosing the The Witch in the Ruins for this tag game which is my current project that I have finished but is still in beta reading/editing phase.

What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it? I would say for the most part you could take a few things away from the story. Without spoiling it, a lesson is not to judge someone so harshly as it might come back to hurt you. But mostly it's a story where you can draw your own conclusion. I don't like to (and really try not to) lead my readers to a single conclusion or a way of thinking because I don't like it when books try to tell me what to think either.

What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding (like real-life cultures, animals, famous media, websites, etc.)? Definitely the Dark Souls/Bloodbourne worlds for the visuals, and it has Italian/Latin names and inspired titles. I listened to a lot of Resident Evil soundtracks (the games) and Resident Evil Village was also in my mind while writing. Someone told me it sounds a little like the Witcher, so I guess that. Oh! and one of the main creatures is heavily inspired by a Roman mythological creature of the same name.

What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, help readers grow as a person? The MC is trying to get home again after bringing shame to her town and being a disappointment despite her magical abilities.

How many chapters is your story going to have? It has four chapters, it's only a novella.

Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it? Original work and I will have this on Kindle - E books format and audio in October.

When and why did you start writing? I started it at the end of last year and intended to publish it as a short story for a magazine, however I was late to the notice for it and missed the deadline! I decided to expand it into a novella and keep writing though because I liked it so much.

Do you have any words of engagement for fellow writers of Writeblr? What other writers of Tumblr do you follow? My advice is to keep writing, as long as you enjoy it and have stories asking to be be let out of your brain.

Low-pressure tag: @dyrewrites (not sure if you have done this one already) @boundedsea @repressed-and-depressed @quantumlandbooks @digital-chance @aziz-reads @fire-but-ashes-too and anyone else who wants to do the tag!

like clockwork

pairing: leon kennedy x gender neutral reader

word count: 730

tags/warnings: fluff, just a touch of angst, possibly unrequited love

summary: leon's too far away for your liking but you know better than to call back for him.

notes: a result of my one too many feelings after discovering resident evil! this was really fun to do and even funnier that whilst editing, i was listening to the austin & ally soundtrack. i miss writing. hope to write more whenever that may be.enjoy :)

"i think about you a lot."

and it's a fact - you do. when he's far away, saving lives like clockwork, the leon-shaped hole in your heart is quick to indicate how intertwined your lives are together. despite your smothering platonic friendship being nothing but just that, leon's space in your life is as grand as it gets. keys to your door, his trusty aftershave tucked away in your bathroom and a bedside table littered with all the silly trinkets he brings back from lands far away.

you know better than to have let this come into being, to let this continue being. you're in love with your best friend and allowing for him to tread your boundaries freely as if they weren't landmines, was a recipe for disaster. however, when you trudge through your doorway with exhaustion aching in your bones, stomach growling, you can't help but forgo your rationality as leon greets you at the door, hanging up your coat with your favourite comfort show playing in the background as the heavenly scent of a hearty dinner lingers in the air. you feel spoiled by his affection, whatever undertone it may come with, but you know better than anyone else how it begins to rot you from within.

on nights of his absence, the silence of your apartment is loud, your heart heavy and the left side of your bed is empty. sometimes when the back of your eyes burn with crimson, doused in drowsiness but nevertheless open, you gaze out the window nearest leon's side of the bed and catch the dull gleam of stars in the sky. knowing that wherever leon may be - whether that's beside you with a light snore, regretfully awake in his own residence and thoughts, or somewhere not even remotely close to home - you two lay under the same sky. and sometimes, that blanket of reassurance is enough to lull you to sleep, but other times, that blanket is too thin to bare.

"you do?" he asks a simple question, but it really isn't.

suddenly, it's blistering cold, chills zapping down your spine like electricity. the daunting weight of your feelings hold your tongue down like cement, warning church bells ringing in your ears to the point where you feel yourself start to disconnect from your body completely. after all, wouldn't that be better than confessing your doomed love?

amidst the seemingly heavy seconds of silence, your soul manages to drift back into your body, gazing up at leon whose eyes never leave yours. the apricot saturated streetlight from above glares down on him with a tenderness you've never seen, his striking features basked in warmth and ultimately softened. it's embarrassing how quickly the sight sets an uptake in your heartbeat.

"of course," you start, glancing down at your shoes in a casual attempt to avert his line of sight. the azure blue of his eyes that you know like the back of your hand is abruptly too much to handle, your hand seeking refuge on the back of your neck. "who else would i call to fix the water pressure for free?"

he scoffs, amusement tugging at the corner of his lips as you chuckle along with the playful atmosphere that settles between the two of you. it's nice, and not so terribly domestic to the point where it feeds your misconception of your relationship. comfortable.

"that all i'm good for?" a slow and sexy smile graces his face, and you can't help but blush.

he's good for a lot of things, truthfully speaking. but where's the fun been in simply admitting that?

"afraid so, handyman." you joke, accidentally catching a glimpse of how his tricep flexes under dim lighting and has you feeling lightheaded yourself.

"your personal maintenance man, huh?" he muses, laying against his arms crossed behind his back that's supported by the large mailbox he leans against.

"more like the human sized rat who finishes all my turkey dinosaurs."

his head turns to face you. "well, wouldn't have that issue if you actually ate them, now would ya?"

his eyebrow arches in question and as you look up at him, you're sick with how even if he raids your fridge for your beloved turkey dinosaurs, keeps your apartment mini-fridge temperature or even if you go weeks without seeing him, when you're finally with him, it's worth it. even if your heart yells out in unrequited love.

eight shows to get to know me. allegedly.

Tagged by @silversoulstardust

Babe what does this even mean??? What do you mean “get to know me”?? Shows that are the reason that I am the way I am?? That make people watch them and then go “yeah this explains so much about you”? Blorbos I project too hard on?? The vibes? The core memories??? The quoteability?? Which ones make me scream out loud the most?? What does it all mean?? You already follow my blog, you know which shows I'm obsessed with, but what shows do even give insight into anything besides what I like in stories??

But uh yeah. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Easy pick. Whatever reasoning you want from the potential meanings of this tag game up there, it has it. The first three seasons are so good! Though I did drop it when Twlight became an alicorn, that just felt too much toy-selling show to me personally, same with equestria girls. But like I grew up watching old school MLP (G1), and I adored it. Then I reach 20 and suddenly FiM (G4 for those keeping track) comes out and it is such a gigantic blast from the past and damn if I didn't get hooves over head from the start. I was obsessed. I was one of the “mods are asleep, post ponies” people. And the way they fucking based Pinkie Pie on me? Like right down to the Pinkamena rock farm backstory? Scary stuff right there I’m tellinng you. 

But 7 other shows to pick?

Monarch of the Glen is an old show, and I will admit that I haven’t Really watched it since I was in school but it has stayed in the back of my mind since I was like 10 so. I never cared for the main couple, as characters they are fine but even back then it felt like a “oh yeah, here’s two pretty people from opposite genders (and social status) and so we have to make them get together” which was Not what the show was about To Me! But just all the other interpersonal relationships? The parents romantic relationship? Top notch.  The struggle of trying to please your parents but still doing your own thing? Trying to find out what that thing is? It does never get old. Also I had the biggest crush on Duncan and that does tell you so much about my type still lol

Galavant released the trailer and at first glance everyone already knew it was a very Me show. I’m not sure what it says about me, but it fits me very well. With the sense of humour, disney references, bursting into unprompted song, wanting to dress like a ren fair character, horseback riding, daring sword fights. A prince in disguise! I mean what. I don’t project on anyone super hard, but I do vibe like crazy to the whole thing, and the soundtrack is a banger that never truly leaves my brain.

Scrubs might just look like the silly little doctor comedy show, and it is! But it also has SO MUCH heart and I just love the lessons it comes with. Again, it’s been a hot minute since I watched it so I won’t vouch for how well the humour has aged, but that was never the point of the show either. The point of the show was watching people care about each other in all different kinds of relationships and so many of the more heartfelt exchanges still live in my soul even now. Like that time JD went to the “evil lab guy” everyone was scared of because he didn’t want his patient to have what the results said they did and the lab guy asked “do you Think I made a mistake or do you Hope I did?” and JD just said “I’m kinda hoping you did” and the whole scene softened and lab guy did the test again. I don’t know, that scene has lived rent-free in my mind for like 20 years whenever I hope things aren’t as bad as they seem, hoping that some higher power lab guy will take pity on me and say they mixed some tests up.

Malcolm in the middle is again just that silly chaotic show from when we were kids - sibling edition - but again it just has so much heart and I don’t know. Watching it again as an adult, yes sure, it has aged, but the big bits stay the same. How the parents Chose each other every day. How the kids might beat each other up with bricks but wouldn’t hesitate to turn to arson if anybody else tried to do the same to their brothers? Yes, it means a lot and even though I might not have “learned” as much from it as Scrubs, it still resonates with me about how growing up felt.

Until We Meet Again because at my heart I am a hopeless romantic who wants to believe in soulmates. It’s a pretty recent show in general, and I only watched it a year ago, but it felt like it understood me more than I understood it, so it is on this list anyway. But I will always hope that if someone meant enough to you and you meant enough to them you Will find your way back to each other, in this life or the next. Not saying this show didn’t absolutely destroy me, I spent 3 hours just crying and shaking after the first episode, and I think I spent a majority of the show being a dehydrated little blob, but it was so worth it. To watch both timelines fall in love and choose each other? To watch the modern timeline have friends and be happy among more than just each other? Everything I could have asked for. 12/10. For real.

Not sure what Goblin has to say about me. We’re all depressed and deserve a good cry and a hug? I guess it means that there is always hope for things to get better, in some way. Even if it doesn’t come about as you thought it would, or when you hoped. But there is always someone out there who cares about you, whether or not you know they do.

I can’t believe I almost forgot about Black Books! Fran is me and I will turn into Fran if bf ever does leave me rip. For real. I even used to have a marriage pact with a friend who was just like Bernard that stated if we both reach our 40s and are single we can be drunk and miserable together. So many of these moments get referenced on a daily basis in our home, everything from how “on no accounts must they know the real you!” to the Cleaner. Yes, if you watch this show it will explain so much about me. (Please don’t do that)

Okay, yeah. This only took like 4 days to complete lmao. Might have taken it a bit more serious than intended, but the theme of the game is just to wide and I didn’t only want “these are the shows I’m currently obsessing over” cause yall already follow me and know which ones those are.

Anyway to pass this on - and feel free to not take it as deadly serious as I did unless you are so inclined - I am now tagging @krippe90 @jacquelinesrumbottle @hobbitsus @imaginarydragonling @tbiris @ablazenqueen @topcatnikki @7nessasaryevils @wanderingwistfulness @happygomadhatter @nevergonnafallfor @genderfluid-faerie-bf and anybody else who might want to play

5 Songs Tag - QL Edition

I was so happy to get tagged in this by @thegalwhorants I'm keeping the credit tag to @trouble-mind and the link to the original post here.

Here are the rules

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL shows that you actually listen to.

🎶They do not have to be custom-made for the series.

🎶Non-western tracks only. Let's support Asian music and languages!

🎶Feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.

🎶Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favourites!

OK, so I love music and I listen to all sorts of genres. right now I am pretty much consumed by Tilly Birds as well as western prog-rock. I did make a playlist titled "my current obsession" to house the bl soundtracks, which I enjoy very much but has my partner threatening to leave if they have to listen to these songs one more time... (we try to make it work :D)

Can I Say The Word Love With You by Boy Sompob - Between Us OST. I had to put this song on the list because 1) I really like it. It makes me feel things, 2) Boy has the most beautiful voice, and 3) it's the first song in Thai that I can actually UNDERSTAND which makes me happy and somewhat proud of myself.

2. Just Trust (Free Fall) by Slot Machine - KinnPorsche OST. This is the first Thai bl song that grabbed me. I like rock music and it's a song I would choose to listen to unrelated to the series.

3. Same Page? by Tilly Birds - Bad Buddy OST. I love Tilly Birds and I love this song. The more I understand Thai, the more I appreciate Their lyrics and the fact that they can fit Thai into the music they do without turning to English when they can't make it work. aLso, this song really fits Pat and Pran's story.

4. I'm Not Boring You're Just bored by Tilly Birds - Only Friends Trailer. I'm shamelessly stealing this from @thegalwhorants. I hadn't realized it was used in the trailer until she mentioned it in her own list and now I can put it on my list as well :)

5. Talay See Dam cover by Billkin and PP Krit - I Promised You The Moon OST. What is there to say? The song is beautiful, the lyrics are making me sink in my feels, and their voices are so calm and soothing. I just love it.

I love the idea of this game and I'm going to add some new songs to my playlist.

@fluidsoul31, @syrena-del-mar, @nerdybunnydestiny, @so-much-yet-to-learn I don't know if you like these games (and I hope you don't mind the tag), but if you're up for it I'd love to see your lists :)

5 Songs Tag - QL Shows Edition

Tagged by @abstractelysium - thanks for the tag! ❤️ I had fun writing this. Sorry it's taken me a few days to do this; I've been pondering my answers, lol.

When you get this, list 5 songs from the Asian QL media that you actually listen to.

🎶They do not have to be custom-made for the series.

🎶Non-western tracks only. Let’s support Asian music and languages!

🎶Feel free to tag anyone who may be interested in participating.

🎶Add #5qls tag to your post for others to find the new favourites!

Gotta add my own little disclaimer here...I've seen quite a few BLs, but I'm extremely biased towards a certain few (as you will soon see), particularly in the music/soundtrack department. That will be extremely apparent here, I'm afraid.

Also, I can't possibly order them because I love them all too much. So in no particular order...

Free Fall - This OST singlehandedly changed the course of my life. I could not stop listening to it back in my KP airing days. The Eng ver AND the Thai ver are both bangers, and I think they fit KP's vibe so well. I also have to give a special shoutout to "Free Fall (Love)" because I personally think the theme is even better on the piano. I still hum it regularly.

Why Don't You Stay - I'm a sucker for Jeff Satur's voice. He's got such a nice tone, and the song itself captures the more loving, less brutal side of KP. I also have to credit this song with turning me into a Jeff Satur fan in general.

Over the Moon - I'm afraid this is where my bias starts to show, haha. The Eclipse is such a special show to me, and like KP, I think OTM captures the youthfulness of the series with its more heavy themes. It also just reminds me of AkkAyan so much every time I listen to it, and I can't help but reminisce; they truly were a cultural reset for me. It's not a song I jam to like Free Fall, but I'd be lying if I said I don't get all in my feels while listening to it (esp with The Eclipse's anniversary just the other day)

Your World, My World - Every time I hear this, I remember just how much Our Skyy2 LOVED the guitar riff at the beginning. Seriously, the AkkAyan ep must've used that same guitar riff at least 3+ times per scene. Not that I'm complaining though. Like Over the Moon, I think it captures the AkkAyan dynamic well--and, might as well say it, it feels like FirstKhao's anthem at this point.

Let's Try - The newest addition to the list. I can't stop listening to it. Obviously I'm a fan of Khaotung's other OSTs (see above) but this is a whole new vibe for him that he matched perfectly. The high note?? Golden. Haven't seen anyone else point this out, but there's a special muffled effect they put on his voice in the last chorus that just...speaks to me. I can't explain it.

I know I'm only supposed to do 5, but I'm gonna give a special shoutout to Living For You from NLMG because it's just...so sweet. I don't know how else to describe it. Phuwin's deep voice, the piano...NuengPalm is so soft despite the brutality of their world and this song is a perfect encapsulation of that.

Ok, sorry if any of you have already been tagged, but I'll tag @nihilisticcondensedmilk, @invisiblegarters, @luckydragon10, and @aprilblossomgirl! (No pressure at all, but I'd be curious to see what ya'll's favs are ❤️)
