#story time with Lilly

[thebestofoneshots]

have you always written for the marauders or did you stumble into it or got inspired or ??? i’m just so curious ☺️

story time with Lils.

I could give a simple answer to this, very short, and all, but I feel like telling the story of how I got into fanfiction so you’ll get a whole textbook instead.

It must have been like 2009 (catch me speaking like an old person), when I was laying in my grandma’s bed, fantasizing about a self insert into Harry Potter (actual Harry Potter mind you I didn’t know the Marauders, nor was my 9 year old self in love with a Sirius yet) and thinking “Gosh wish I could write that… but I can’t because copyright and it’s illegal.”

Fast forward do 2011-2012, THE FACEBOOK ERA, and your girl stumbles into a fanpage that *literally* was all about reader inserts with certain YouTubers I had an unhealthy obsession with at the time. It was then that Lilly discovered ✨the fantastic world of fanfiction✨. And it didn’t stop.

I love reading, but I had always been one to write stories, poems, songs, you name it, I probably wrote it. And so I started writing fanfics as well. First I think it must have been the YouTubers. I also remember reading a Percy Jackson fanfic once, and omg it’s been so long, I don’t even remember the webpage I read it at, but it was like it’s own little blog with its own little colors and stuff, cool shit tbh.

Must have been around 2012 that I started a fanfic of Jack Frost. Yes ladies and gentleman, Jack Frost, he was too cute for 12 y/o Lilly. That one, is absolute cringe if I go back and read it now, but also kinda funny? The reverse harem was so heavy in that one I swear I didn’t even know that was a thing but EVERYONE was inlove with the MC.

Either way, writing longer stories really wasn’t for me back then, so I started writing oneshots. And boy-oh-boy did I love them. I must say “Thank you Bucky Barnes for existing and having me obsess over you.” I must have over 30 one shots written for him. Or more, I have never counted. Some still sitting on my drafts lol.

Then I started writing for Loki and made a small follow along fic of the series, called Time Variant 30578, and I was so proud I finished it (-ish, season 2 just came up and I still have to write for that).

Not that it’s the only thing I’ve finished, I actually wrote a book, it’s a book about a serial-kiIIer, but even if we see his life, the actual unaliving parts are told from the perspective of the victims. Pretty gory, certainly something. But I liked it. That one’s done and sitting in my computer. I still want to find time to edit it and maybe publish it one day, but who knows? Off topic.

Anyway I rewatched SPN and wrote a few shots for one of the loves of my life Dean Winchester. And I have pondered on writing a series for a gender-bend spell type of thing. A short one (but actually short this time, not like GC).

And then, somewhere in between me starting a small business of HP stuff and watching Tick…Tick…Boom! (Which had me obsess over Andrew), and the already smoldering obsession with Ben, I started reading Marauders fics. Discovering the magical world of ✨Poly!Marauders✨

And then I wrote the first part of Gilded Constellations (march this year, probably) and then the second and then the first 12 parts and then I decided to post it and then people showed actual interest?!?! And I kept writing and writing and then I wanted GC to have smut. But I was shit at smut and wanted to practice so The Five Senses was born. After a LOT of research, I kid you not, so much reading fics and even YouTube tutorials lol (on writing guys, that kind of content is NOT allowed on YouTube!). Anyway, writing just solidified my obsession with my boys. And then there was Maraudween, more smut practice but also, I kind of like writing smut at this point? And scary action filled stories??? Right up my ally.

So yeah, in short; I’ve always been a writer, I have always liked Harry Potter and I have been writing fanfics for a while and just recently started writing for the Marauders, but you’re not gonna stop me any time soon.

I like living in my own head, and I love writing stories, and I adore our boys so, you’ll be seeing so much of me you’ll get sick of it lol

Did that answer your question? I feel like one of this teachers that students ask a question to and then tell the entire story of their life. But I feel like I did answer the question.

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened #my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda #ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game #because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something #normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have #when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think #i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing #others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie #but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy #and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him #and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me #i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder #this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for #literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND #i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better #yapping #diary #loz #pokemon

If you could wipe the memory of one Pokémon game from everyone, which game would it be?

(The game will still exist and is able to be played again, but no one will remember anything about it)

Sun and Moon bc maybe then people would learn to actually appreciate it more for its story especially after we all collectively flipped our shit at how good SV’s story was

#Every time I hear someone say USUM is better than SM I want to claw my eyes out #TO BE FAIR there definitely are a lot of improvements #But the plot fucking nosedived. It’s SO bad compared to SM’s #They wiped like all of Lillie’s good character development and it makes me SO mad #I remember people complaining about SM’s really long dialogue but I personally LOVED that aspect #Bc I’m all about the plot. The story. The characters #And SM was really the first game where we got to see all that in action. Like a FULL character arc and everything #God I love SM so so much people don’t appreciate it enough #Shima answers questions #Pokemon

In honour of the pizza stream have some pizza memes I never posted

#pizza game vn #Fun story about that monopoly image #I was watching a friend play pizza for the first time #And I made that image between sessions #Posted it in a discord we're both in #She appears immediately after I posted it #asks about Babynaes and Lilibean because we hadn't doen true route yet #I try to make up some bullshit so she doesn't get spoiled further #She manages to bullshit her way through everything #she managed to guess lilibeans name to be lilly RANDOMLY #AND MANAGED TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS YOUNG WILLIAM SAMA #anyways the word monopoly is inherently funny now

hey there's a lot of shit out in the world but like. there's also 300k fanfics written as labours of love and exuberant comment threads on art that point out and gush over little details and there's people who spend hours sewing tiny details on their cosplays and there's fragments of poetry that get shared over and over and bring emotions over and over and there's entire communities of people built around 'we loved a story together' or 'we made a story together' and there's people poring over every line in a work and building theories together and there's getting together with your friends to have ridiculous fantasy adventures every week and yeah. there's some good stories here too yknow.

#text post #my post #yes this post was made immediately after d&d when i am emotional about the absolute fucking luck and joy of getting to do this regularly #but like #yknow not to quote the 11th doctor on you but it's TRUE we are all stories in the end #anyway i've been listening to lilli furfaro's stories a lot can you tell #just like. art and people and shared story and yeah #i got like three ao3 comments from the same person last week cause i'd left a comment on their work #and like. we don't know each other we've never met but now we've gone through each other pages and realised we feel the same way about this #and we have made each other smile with comments multiple times over the last week. that's fucking wild #like you know you watch a cosplay video and you see how many people and how much love and how much togetherness has gone into it #you recommend a book to a friend with your favourite passages underlined #you take part in a fic exchange and you make each other cry with words #you watch your friends roll dice and have emotions and fight and succeed and fail and you build a world together #idk idk i'd say i'm too emotional about this but i think i am the right amount of emotional actually #as lilli furfaro said. stories stitched together are how families are born

i need to rewatch veronica mars again. i miss her. i wish there were more shows like that. the show’s depiction of women was far from perfect but the writing for veronica mars and lilly kane was genuinely great and they remain some of the best written female characters ive seen. honestly the depiction of lilly kane is genuinely one of the most impressive things about this show the way they portrayed her as a fairly realistic self-centred teenager who did dumb things but still had empathy for her and the narrative never once judged her or blamed her for her murder. 

#veronica mars #veronica too was such a great character #like she was tough and smart and was allowed to be angry and grieve for lilly and the way her life used to be #and was just nosy teenage girl poking her nose where she wasnt supposed to and pissing off authority figures #plus after seeing the way woman who have stood up against abuse this past year have been treated #lilly's character and the way she was treated with such sympathy and care feels like such a relief #like the writing for the show wasnt perfect and the mysteries weren't always do or die #and sometimes could have been written better #and season 3 was just 😬 at times #she definitely reminds me of nancy drew despite the totally different genres and tone of the story #but like nancy drew the mysterys were pretty fun and they both had dads who were private investigators #and there was variation in each mystery #i fully blame nancy drew for my love of mysteries and girl detectives and general nosiness

i am once again thinking about the inherent intimacy of storytelling...ough ough ough...stories by lilli furfaro my beloved <3

#stories by lilli furfaro #lilli furfaro #full disclosure i sobbed like a little bitch the first time i listened to this song #it touched something deep within my soul #critical role #critrole #critical role fan song

my baby's finally here <3

#I'm keeping them in their boxes until I actually have the space for a Nerd Shelf (aka when I move out of my parents house) #jk took them out of their boxes because I reoganised my bookshelf yet again and they look cuter that way #I also told myself I'd only get mike but now i feel like he's lonely and I need to get a will fro him 👀👀 #ALSO story time: #tried to get him from one store back in august but he was damaged so I ordered on Amazon #but it was back ordered until sept so I waited and then by oct it said mine was in transit #but the seller said they were out of stock until feb #so I waited a few weeks and Amazon still wasn't sending AND the price like tripled #so last week I finally had the genius idea of just ordering from Funko directly and I'm so happy #he's so cute -- and now amber had a little friend #maybe I'll put them in the den and they can hang out with my mom's Rey and Kylo ones 🤭 #shut up lilly #let's chat #byler #stranger things

augh nostalgic for the first time i played sun and moon

#bwark #idk playing through the aether foundation stuff at like 3am and getting hit with a story that i resonated with very strongly at the time #just really stuck with me #like my opinions on the situation i was in have changed since then but at the time. i literally felt like lillie. #it's honestly so insane to me how much it paralleled my own life at that point #and ive got very fond memories of listening to the seafolk village night theme while trying to process everything that had just happened #it's one of my favourite main series tracks because of that

[likeabxrdinflight]

completed the starfall street plot first (and the school subplot too, minus the more post-gamey side quests), and I gotta say...the story writing of the more recent pokemon games has really stepped up a notch.

I don't think anyone plays pokemon for the story, but between sun and moon's story of two abused kids and small little guy escaping and then flourishing away from their abuser, to legends arecus giving a compelling isekai narrative complete with a surprise betrayal, connections to a game we already know, and a twist villain, and now scarlet and violet tackling bullying and found family? I mean, shit.

#we don't need to talk about swsh that game had a terrible story #also I haven't finished the titans/koraidon story yet but I will say that not since nebby have I loved a legendary this much #koraidon is my perfect leetle son #and I love him #and anyone who tries to harm him will have to catch these hands #he's a little better than nebby too because at the end of the day nebby was more lillie's pokemon than yours #but koraidon/miraidon are with you the whole time #they're part of one of the main stories but also your bike and companion #you bond with them so much more than any other legendary ever #....and once again koraidon? perfect design no notes #he's dumb and stupid and never had a single thought in his entire life #I adore him #pokemon

The entire long process of doodling this smushed down to one minute XP

#Void doodles #Making new designs take a long time #I'm thinking of doing more fairies #Like a black osiria rose and maybe a butterfly pea one too #Maybe a Lilly fairy/person to represent my love for steam punk War era XP #Maybe I'll stick to sanses #And writing stories instead #I'm not exactly in freedom territory yet
