sorry for so many but 35-38 for fic writer asks
Why would you ever apologize that's the fun part of ask games!!
Going to be as obnoxious as possible and choose my favorite per year for each of these!!!! (solo fics only, though some of my collabs are right up there!!)
35. What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?
2019
The Five People Who Missed Peter Parker the Most, as it is my first fic and will forever be my favorite. I put so much of myself in it and I'm so very proud of it.
2020
Not Just a Machine because it was (I think?) the first Detroit:Become Human AU and because it was so much fucking work and yet I loved it so fucking much!!!!!
2021
Indirect Proof because this was also a year in the making. I put so much time, thought, and effort into every single part of this fic. I love it so much.
2022
from the sidelines, because of how much love and time I put into it. My magnum opus perhaps!
2023 (thus far)
ghosts that we knew simply because it was four years in the making and was (still is???) the only biodad AU I know that wrote the inverse.
36. What fic are you proudest of?
2019
Five Times Peter Made Michelle Laugh because it was my first 5+1! It's still one of my favorite genres of fics even if I don't write it as much. I miss that time period and writing this little nudged to the left thing was so exciting.
2020
Your Hand in Mine because it was an unintentional post IW/EG rewrite that I didn't intend to write. It was originally something SO different but I'm really proud that I made my own contribution to this trope.
2021
Like a Wall of Stars because it created the Woobeau tag bitches! This isn't the first (or the last) time I created something for the first time on AO3 but it's one that I'm still so giddy and proud that I was able to do and do with love.
2022
when you help someone, you help everyone because post NWH fics with Peter & New York City are still so frustratingly rare. I'm very proud of this one and the emotions it conveys.
2023 (thus far)
point of view, quite simply because it might be the fic that takes me over 100k? it's one that I absolutely did NOT expect to become anything more than what it is and yet.
37. What fic has been the hardest for you to write?
2019
Someday We'll Know, simply because it was the first of my fics to "blow up" - it got so much attention and love that while flattering, made me a little nervous at the time because I was still so new.
2020
Insult to Injury, not because it was actually difficult but because a Morgan POV that intentionally wanted to disrupt some fandom tropes? I was concerned how people would react to it. That it did so well was very gratifying.
2021
No Need to Say Goodbye because everyone knows how much I despise the May Dies trope to my very core. Writing my own attempt at this misogynistic trope was an exercise in grief that fucked me up for a bit.
2022
into the dark because it was the first (and probably last lmao) time I ever wrote a time loop fic, one that I made harder myself by writing it in MJ's POV and not Peter's. I'm so proud of it but hot damn was it hard to think about and plot.
2023 (thus far)
when you move, i move, simply because fandom is horrendous and spideydevil is automatically thought of as an age gap. it's not! they existed before the MCU! alas.
38. What is your most self-indulgent posted story?
2019
Maybe in Another Universe (I Deserve You) was before it's time!!! It's so underrated TO ME and I love it so much. Proof positive of how much my love for Peter and MJ endures!
2020
This Never Happened Before which was The Lake House AU I spent a whole ass year talking about before I finally wrote it. Very gorgeous to me!!
2021
My Tears Are Becoming a Sea was a fic I never thought I'd write? Parkner? Peter at MIT?? What the hell? Never let anyone say spite can't fuel you lmao I'm very proud of this fic and what it wanted to say
2022
tell me where (to put my love) because first kill deserved better!!!!!!!!!!!
2023 (thus far)
back to december because tsitp is a dumb teen show with a dumb teen fandom but fuck if i won't treat you right jeremiah!

Asking this one for any/all Street Cats OCs!! I want to learn more about their history...
D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?
OUUGH THANK U!!
The thing about these OC's is that they are really old- some from back from 2015 even. Is when I was into Deviantart WC roleplay groups so is one of those things that like... The characters have changed, but I don't think there has ever been a super drastic change and more making them appeal more to my current design sensibilities.
Also, some of them are adopts- Like Laurel and Olive! So I feel a bit odd changing them. Although Olive has received several changed from her original so U know, but is one of those bits that is more... simplifying the design and keeping the colors and elements I really liked asdfdfgh
If I remember correctly, Laurel, Olive & Mathew are the designs I bought, while Belen, Frederick and Tania are the ones I designed!
(Laurel - Olive - Belen - Mathew - Frederick - Tania)
Then there is.... oh, source of my childhood cringe, this drawing I did with all the characters around that time (Btw, everyone in this picture is still a character in the current series- They were just moved to be secondaries lol)
THE POINT IS there is a lot of art from this time but really the designs themselves aren't too different, just my style, anatomy and how they dress lol
THEN around 2019 I believe? I was thinking on reviving them as warriors- Or at least just draw them for a bit in their original forms, where I made this!
This is the big design overhaul and pretty much all the designs stayed the same! The main changes being
A) Shapes, Laurel cannot be this square lol
B) Belen's white mane & Freddy's huh... hurt eye (I think I changed which one it is by accident and now I just roll with it lol)
Then in 2021, when I became set on developing them I made this group drawing!! Which is basically them now. The only prominent change after this is that with her new role & personality, I really wasn't vibing with Tania's design, so she is the final one I did an overhaul- Just trying to capture more of a conventional "racoon" look and make her colors more saturated!
AND THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE NOW!! YIPPEE <3
Help I was very fun to go back to the development of this group <3 again the designs themselves don't change A Lot is mostly them getting refined but ought they are such a delight <3
And well... for an interesting change... Olive does have an ALT version due to lore reasons that I designed on my own and it is very different to how she normally looks. I wonder what this is about...

SHIPPER TAG GAME
I was tagged by @lurkingshan, thank you very much (´꒳`)♡ My memory is not the best so some of these are going to be a little challenging lol but let’s try!
1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?
I don’t know how to “not care” about things I once loved I’m afraid lol. But ships that consumed my life that I now don’t think about very often and am more “what a good surprise to see you here, I still like you" than "oh you are back to consume my life for the next two to fifteen months" are most of the things I watched when I was younger: Logan/Max from Dark Angel, Sam/Jack and Daniel/Jack from Stargate:SG1, Jim/Blair from The Sentinel, Piper/Leo from Charmed, Tim/Tony and Gibbs/Tony from NCIS, etc...
2. Which ship would you consider your first one?
Hmmm… I think the first time I felt emotionally invested in two characters ending up together – in a “watching religiously and asking my mom to tape the wedding episode because we would be traveling on the day it was to be diffused” kind of way – is Fran Fine and Maxwell Sheffield from The Nanny.
We knew they were end game, but STILL!
3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
Oh, good question… I came into fandom via manga and while they were not the ones I shipped the hardest (I was a hardcore Gaara/Lee fan ♡♡♡), I think the first fics I read were NaruSasu and/or Kakashi/Iruka – on personal fan websites.
The first shipping fic I wrote hmmm… I think it actually was some Kakashi/Iruka? I tumbled into fandom really fast once I found it so it’s a bit of a blur lol but yeah, pretty sure it was something Naruto related.
4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
… Not really, but probably either something from One Piece (Zorro/Luffy or Zorro/Sanji) or Neon Genesis Evangelion – those two were the very first manga I read (circa 2002), and I vaguely remember checking them on Google Image for my favorite hobby: “collecting images from the internet that I would then organize carefully in the computer’s little folders” so I must have found some cute stuffs that I didn’t even realize were shipping…
5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?
No. While I generally have strong opinions about stuff, I am pretty non confrontational and I’m here for a good time, not to fight with people, so I avoid it. I’ve seen stuffs that I’m glad I didn’t poke with a ten feet pole. On top of that, I am a huge believer and practitioner of “shipping one character with more than one person (in a polycule or not)” so ship wars have never made much sense to me. Even in qL, even when I really adore the endgame couple(s), I often like thinking of the options, the what-if, etc. so fighting about that does not sound appealing lol
6. Did you used to have any no-otp or have it currently?
Talking about my very first fandoms, I never wanted Sakura with either Naruto nor Sasuke lol I loved her, but hated the idea of either options. Still not sold on it tbh. I also really hated the idea of Hermione with either of the other two lsdfj same reason, I loved her so much, and I loved that they were friends!
I have ships I am uninterested in but I always feel like notp is a little stronger than that, so I don’t think I have any currently.
7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?
Oof, okay, life does come back full circle lol I binged the One Piece Live Action at the start of the month, so the last fics I’ve read since were all Zorro/Luffy.
8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?
DO I EVER?? I have OTP that have been in my heart since I’m 10. And, I mean, by virtue of watching so much QL I have an OTP in every couple I watch get together for 8 to 12 episodes, I’m a big, mushy romantic. Also I will daydream about ships from about anything I watch so…But! My current OTP, the one that owns my heart, that gets me to literally squeal in delight, makes me gasp and cry and twirl my hair while kicking my feet is Nomoto and Kasuga from She loves to cook and she loves to eat!
I love them sooooo much it’d be ridiculous if I had any sort of dignity about that kind of things (I don’t) (*´▽`*)
9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
Ok you know what? I rewatched some episodes with my mom over my christmas break so I will say yes, Jack O’Neil and Samantha Carter in Stargate:SG1. Yeah, yeah I don’t care that he is her commanding officer and blablabla.
After all this teasing, damn, we could have gotten a little something something when the team finally breaks alright?
10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
I can’t really think of anything right now to be honest… I feel like anything I’d feel strongly enough to remember I would still dislike now, though, to be frank.
11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be canceled over?
I guess? I mean, I came to fandom and to QL via yaoi – wich I started reading around 2005, so you can imagine the amount of “problematic” content I enjoyed. Age gaps (I was a HUGE fan of Naono Bohra who like those a lot), power imbalance, dub-con (one of the first yaoi translated in France was Gravitation), and so on and so forth.
12. What was your favorite crack ship?
I can’t answer that one, mainly because I used to have so many of them (I still do, don’t look at me). I got into superheros comics when I was something like 18 and I did RP with a friend where looking back, it seems like our main game was to pair everyone no matter how silly it might have been. I guess in those, I still have a fondness for everything we did that crossed the DC/Marvel divide. We also played a lot with those random ship generators? They gave you two characters and you tried to find a way to make it work. I still like those!
13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics of?
Across all of time?? I… have no idea… like really none. Recently, it’s probably any variations of 3zuns from The Untamed, but for the early years I could not say.
14. What most of your ships usually have in common?
The love I have for them (*¯︶¯*)
Joke aside, I’m not sure? I’m a simple creature, I’m easily swayed, if there is something compelling in the dynamic, I will be interested. I like them sweet but I also have pretty toxic ships, so I think the main thing for me is that there is something interesting going on that makes me want to root for them and/or think about them and how they work together.
15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
I need to believe there is a way for them to genuinely love each other. But sometimes, ~the vibes~ just feel rancid to me and I can’t get into it, I can’t explain more than that ^^”
I'll tag, if you feel so inclined: @benkaaoi @troubled-mind @bengiyo @gillianthecat @iguessitsjustme and @heretherebedork

do you have any specific thoughts regarding todd flanders? i would love to hear them
hrmm... assuming you were inspired to send this after seeing a recent post i made, there wasn't anything that brought on that thought process other than someone having put this old post in my notes again the other day
i'm not very active with this blog anymore. if memory serves i started watching the simpsons back from the beginning in late 2019 and made this blog in early 2020, which is a long time ago already (remember, like, quarantine?). i had a strong hyperfixation on the show at the time and i used to post a LOT more, i'd post art, some of it incorporating headcanons i had for certain characters or original depictions of them, i'd post more thinkpieces whenever i'd want to psychoanalyze something for fun, and i DID used to have a lot to say about todd flanders
aside from posts i'd make like the one linked above i will never forget how heavily this particular episode really fed the fire of the idea that todd was destined for the potential to break free of his appointed one-notedness and eventually grow into this organic rebellion, i guess it got to me as something that felt so human, when someone is raised only ever being told certain things or trained to think in certain ways and as they get older they start to think for themselves and in many cases at least go through a phase where they desperately strive to adopt every ideology that contradicts those things they maybe now feel were harmful to their growth as a person, and maybe it's to spite a parent, or maybe it's to figure out who they wanna be, whatever it means to them in the moment they just HAVE to BREAK AWAY... it's a shared experience of so many people and it's sooo much fun to apply it to silly yellow cartoon child
if you've been following me since toddgate, which historically brought us such classics as the various psychoanalysis posts, emo todd, the whole tossica timeline (x, x, x, x), older bart hanging out with nelson and adoptive brother todd after rod goes away to college and they're some of the last og springfield kids still hanging around town (x, x, x, x, x) and so much more, i seriously love u and u earned that veteran discount
i think it all started with this post
