Twenty Questions for Fic Writers š«
thank you @decaflondonfog for the tag !! ill tag @sillyunicorn @starwarned @urban-sith @tea-brigade
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
98!! (woah) plus an unrevealed t&n fest fic, so 99. wow i need to do something rly crazy for 100 lol. what if i do a ridiculous crossover of all my fandoms and everyone in the fandom tags will hate me.Ā
2. Whatās your total AO3 word count?
544,914. (again. woagh)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
mostly all for the game and simon snow series, have dabbled in & posted even less for check please, captain america, and one direction! i feel like iām missing something but regardless my fixations are hardcore, so all except like 4k of that posted wc is for either aftg or ss hahahha
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
all are andreil! boyfriend privileges (4k, T) / Trigger (62k, E) / flashes of intimacy (10k, t) / Would you still love me if I was a worm? (6k, T) / Inside Thoughts (1k,T)
man this is long, rest is going under the cut lol
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
not very often, but i wish i did. i am stricken with a combination of being really awkward when people are nice to me & being bad at interacting with anyone in ways i fear could be perceived as ingenuine. im not sure if that makes sense LMAO. and sometimes when i put a story out, i kind of feel like iāve said my piece ā iāve put so much into it that i donāt really know what else to say!
anyway, i always reply to questions, because thatās got clear social boundaries hahaha, and i DO love talking abt my stories!! and sometimes iāll reply to comments that really get me thinking. but yeah, i know i reply less than i could, and i want to like double down on the fact that i am endlessly grateful for everyone who has ever left a comment on my work <3
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i have killed simon snow twice lmfao. iād actually classify icarus as rather hopeful ā itās about grief & healing. but legacies is just fucked up lmfao
7. Whatās the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
oh man, i write a lot of happy endings haha. i feel like even when my story is tonally darker (rare), it still has a happy or at least hopeful ending. this is probably not the correct answer, but i think sing of the moon has a really vividly happy ending. like ā the sun rises for the first time in the whole fic! amazing. or maybe my high school au, We Can Live Forever, which is just the happiest thing iāve ever written.Ā
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not really, thankfully! people are smartasses sometimes but overall ive been lucky. there have been a couple of fics where ive winced before hitting post, but it usually ends up fine
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
yessss. i guess i mostly write tender smut, bc i write tender things in general. i think my smut tends to be rather exploratory/playful as well? intentionally sloppy and awkward choreography hahaha
10. Do you write crossovers? Whatās the craziest one youāve written?
sort of LOL. once upon a time i was betaing @tea-brigade's medieval snowbaz au, Reliquary of an Arsonist, and thereās this part where three highway bandits mug simon and baz and then get blasted by simonās chosen one magic. i am sick in the head so im in the google doc like ālol what if its kandreil.ā and then i was likeā¦ what if it was kandreilā¦.. and so i wrote Reliquary of a Bandit
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
i donāt think so
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes!!! and iām really thankful for everyone who has done so <3333 shoutout to russian aftg translators, yall go HARD
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
i recently collaborated with @thewholelemon on our episode of Star Trek: Redemption, Heart-Shaped Box. by which i mean: i wrote the outline & a few scenes, got really overwhelmed, and jenny turned it into something worth reading!Ā
i also wrote Good Boy in the snowbaz stoner verse with @starwarned, which was rly fun ā we sat in the google doc for like, 5 hours trading back and forth on POVs as we wrote pure porn together LOL. itās funny to think about this, because lauren knows like everything abt me now but we did not know each other as well back then!!! and we were just like āyeah lets write porn togetherā hahahahhaĀ
14. Whatās your all-time favourite ship?
right now it is deeefinitely andreilā¦ they are everything to me for reasons i just cannot possibly be brief about LOL so ill just leave it at that
15. Whatās a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i have a postcanon snowbaz time travel/time loop wip that i was going to try to write for COBB this year but i fucked up the deadlines then the brainrot was like āguess that means more andreil !ā. i did SO MUCH research for it and i think itās rather clever and smutty and fun bc they are yeeted back to watford era! but itās also dealing with snowbaz, who are in their late 20s and are like in a relationship low point/actively fighting when they end up in the loopā¦ so they are dealing with that tension at the same time as they are trying to get out of the loop. and also fucking around watford to fulfill fantasies HAHAHA
16. What are your writing strengths?
characterization is the thing i care most about! and i think thatās the draw of fanfic in particular to me ā i love getting such a grasp on a character that i can translate them into endless situations while still making them feel true to self. i rarely let myself publish anything until i can read through the whole thing without any he would not fucking say that moments hahahha. this is of course pertaining to my own interpretations of the characters, which is the only thing i care abt lmfao
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
i rely a lot on body language because im always writing abt reticent fuckers who cant use their words. but i think i sometimes overcompensate, or describe actions that don't actually fit the scene. i've seen this described as "cheek-biting" -- like, throwing in action during a conversation just to delay the pacing/further the tone, but when you really look at it, it's not necessary. (cheek-biting being like, "character bites at their cheek" in the middle of a tense conversation)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i donāt really know any other languages! i think iāve put a little bit of french in neil/kevin/baz POVs before, but my french knowledge is elementary at best. love the idea of it though.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
one direction babyyyyyyyy !! i wrote quite a bit of it in like 2012-2015 but published very little. thereās 1 on my ao3, some lost somewhere on fanfiction.net (i dont rmr my username lol), and tons in my folders from my old laptop lol.
20. Favourite fic youāve written?
hmmmmm. im gonna cheat bc i cant pick a single favorite. i always say i think No Turning Back is some of my best writing from a craft standpoint, and it also includes my favorite type of conflict (andrew self-destructing lol). however, i reread both that fic & We Can Live Forever on a plane trip recently after not having touched either for 6+ months ā and the solidness of We Can Live Forever actually surprised me, especially because i wrote the majority of that fic while i was stoned and also view it as just exceedingly silly. the world of it is just very rich, and also very very different from the typical character backstories, and iām very proud of how much that reread played with my heartstrings.Ā Ā
ok last one ā there are several installments of my flashes of intimacy series that i come back to a lot, because iām proud of what they each accomplish in 500 words. especially because i often turn to those when im trying to express my own emotions lol. specifically, my favorites are picking fights, i donāt mind, swimming lessons, and practicing gratitude.
that was such a bullshit and cocky way to answer this lmfaooooo. but tbh i am my own biggest fan and that is by design ā i write stuff so that i can reread it months later and have it be perfectly catered to my tastes. i love all my fics <3

Tagged by @stickers-on-a-laptop ! Tysm!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Five! Not a lot atm but I used to write a lot on wattpad as well š
2. What is your AO3 word count?
11,227 words :P
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Tokusatsu! Namely Kamen Rider Build and King Ohger atm, but I also have a planned Ex-Aid fic (and some old my little pony fics I may move over from wattpad lmao)
4. What are your top five fics by Kudos?
Since I only have five, my top three are
Getting to Know the Boogeyman
Of Courtship & Coccinelles and
Red Looks Good on You
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Definitely Sentoās Wandering Mind, the whole thing is a vent piece and I heavily relate to Sento so itās more of personal processing than anything lmao
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably Of Courtship & Coccinelles! I write most stuff with fluffy endings but that one definitively ends on a bright note
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nope!
9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?
Iāve written two smut pieces so far, which is a huge step for me personally for many reasons, but theyāre both best match fics :3 one angst, one fun and sexy. Honestly I draw more of it than I write it lol
10. Do you write crossovers? I hate the craziest crossover youāve ever written?
Iām not much for writing crossovers BUT the exaid fic Iāve had in the works for a while technically is one bc itās hatsune Miku as a bugster lol
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Also no but would be neat :)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not on AO3 but I love bouncing ideas off of people and also working on characters together, esp mine and @chilipepperconverse ās KR OCs :3 actually I used to co-write with friends all the time in middle school when we wrote together.
14. Whatās your all-time favorite ship?
Bonkers ass question but rn my answer would probably be Bravesnipe?? But I feel like thereās definitely ones Iām crazier abt out there. Maybe sonotaroā¦
15. Whatās a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Unfortunately probably the Miku exaid fic ;-; the concept is fun and cute but with some stuff I get an outline or somethin cookin and then it never sees the light of day again
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think Iām pretty good at detailed descriptions and visuals. Iām much more an artist than a writer, so Iāve spoken before about how I view my stories like written descriptions of story boards, and I absolutely love to try and paint a picture with my words.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
In my actual writing Iām unsure and would love to hear any feedback, but for me itās actually just GETTINg myself to write. It takes a lot of mental energy to start the task and I can never really make myself do it, itās only when Iām in a rare and intense mood for writing somethin that Iāve got a REALLY solid idea on. Thatās mostly why Iāve got so few fics. I have more ideas, but itās difficult to get myself to a point with any of them where Iāll actually write any of it out lol
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Personally I think itās neat when other people do it, but unless itās French I probably never will. Even then Iād be so nervous about getting it wrong Iād probably find some kinda work around
19. First fandom you wrote for?
On AO3 itās King Ohger, but in realityā¦. Oh boy. Warriors fanfic abt my sonas when I was like 10? Outside of OCs my first canon-aligned fanfic was probably one of the my little pony ones on wattpad. I did mostly original character stuff when I wrote frequently as a tween so I guess I didnāt start with fanfic until like a year or two ago.
20. Favorite fic youāve written?
I only have a few so Iām proud of them all for different reasons, but I think Sentoās Wandering Mind is one that Iām particularly fond of even tho it didnāt do as well as the others. Itās conceptually something Iāve been trying to put into words for a long time, and it was my first foray into writing anything REMOTELY sexual, which was a huge jump for me that Iām very proud of as a person who previously struggled a lot more with ācatholic shameā if I had to put a word to it. Itās kinda a heavy read and isnāt perfect, but the fact that itās out in the world is important to me and Iām happy with it. Hope you all enjoy!!
Tagging @chilipepperconverse and @cantarella-rose and anyone else whoād like to participate! :3

My thought on last episode
1. I'm going to let this off my chest and say Five is legit so fine ššš
2. Allison stop being a bitch
3. Viktor, stop being a little bitch and keep asking how to fix things with Allison, you deserve SO MUCH BETTER
4. I don't ship Lila and Diego in season 2 but they really grow on me this season. They're really cute but what Lila did to Diego with Stan is not cool š (not abt this episode, sorry)
5. Reggie, gaining Luther and Klaus's trust then betraying them... DUDE HOW COULD YOU?? šš
6. Okay but the lack of reaction? Sloane is the only one that reacts accordingly when Luther died and she'd only known him for a few days. His siblings knew him for years šš I wish they'd be more sad tbh
7. Can everyone just listen to Five for a second for the first time in their goddamn life? He suspected Allison and Reginald and guess what, he's RIGHT.
8. Luther and Klaus in the afterlife are actually fluffy for some reason.
9. It's SO NOT FAIR that Allison got everything she wanted by sacrificing them and they lost their power cause of her šš
10. I love how smart Five is like ā dude piece together the puzzle about the sigil ā get his arm cut off ā and immediately go back to the mission. Like the commitment āØ
11. At the end of the episode, when they all separated, I kinda wish that Five would stay with Viktor since I really like their bond season 1. But at the same time I understand that he's pissed or at least frustrated at Viktor (I am too, actually) because he could've stopped Allison but decided not to. Viktor, I told you to stop trusting Allison, at this point she's gone šššš so yeah, I get Five and the others too.
12. I really hope they got their powers back at season 4
13. Sloane is really a badass. Like when she single handedly stopped the last Samurai I was like... Wow. I think her power is really cool and she's quite powerful too. It helps that she has a nice personality because Sparrow!Ben really gets on my nerves. I hope she's in season 4.

here i come
1- first things first: getting to read vās pov at this specific moment its everything we could ever want, just like you posted after last monthās ch in your dash abt how everything changes only for vil now that she knows the role she played/plays in eveās life is much showed in this ch bc i felt it was complete. its like there was some missing piece lost out there and with vilās mind being displayed the whole puzzle was beginning to take shape. obvsl bc youāre the writer this makes sense, but now your post almost seems as a premonition to ch 16 bc it fulfills itās promise.Ā
2- how much she can restrain herself on showing no sights that something shifted whilst all of this drops on her lap, not to mention the other add-ins given by clueless eve and eveās presence herself.
3- the final confirmation through her pov that shes the mordale/the one who shot eve
4- realising Eve's the one who stabbed her!!!
5- damn if Vilās not playing w fire by stretching purposefully in Eveās sight
6- with Vilās pov now you can see how much theyāre the same. vil questions herself just the same way eve does.
7- its awkwardly comforting knowing now how vilās mind operates and how many questions and doubts i had were cleared or/and confirmed just by giving the girl the mic.
8- im still confused abt vilās blood tainted with eveās to be such a top secret for eve. im just as curious as vil. gonna keep ma thoughts to myselfĀ
9- Folie Ć deux. you did NOT haus
10- i find it really interesting how you set oksana in the story as someone completely different from villanelle, but itās awaken when certain scenarios comes to light. it gives so much complexity and depth to the character.
11- i wanted to know if vil went back to her bed after eveās nightmare of if she stayed a while w her. dunno if you can answer that tho
12- well i dont blame at all julia for being enamored by vil enough to ask her on a dinner date, just like i dont blame eve for being insufferably jealousĀ
13- its so delicious to read the possessiveness innuendos. āBecause I want her here.ā āBecause you want me.ā āMy consultant.āāYoursā āMineā
14- pleeeeeeeeeease vil begging for praise from eve on her first documented kill. god i love this.
15- vil seemed really thoughtful and touched by the russian food and the chef, it was truly genuine of her, i didnt feel like she faked it. sharing the candies w eve regardless of her on-face jealousy and cunty behavior looked so personal, it was like she was sharing whatever kind of life oksana had as a child in the shape of a candy.
16- its quite visible when strucks in eve that she was being rude enough to have vil teach her how to āsorryā sign.
17- is the grind an orphanās season 2 the dialogue you added last minute? please i cant with these two actually discussing cannibalism
18- vilās wondering abt making all of eveās meals and leftovers!!! couldve been so gentle if it wasnt for the
19- yay! vilās been cleared up! no threats on sight!
ps: you dont have to answer all of them and im not expecting you to!! i just throwned'em down.
:)
#anonwho #phew #tme
i will answer the ones i can !!
3. yes, confirmed she knows she shot eve and eve stabbed her; she is viper! neither of them have any idea about mortale tho
7 & 8. trust the process, my friend- if you're confused, you're meant to be
9. folie Ć deux- sĆ©parĆ©e avant, mais ensemble maintenant <3 genuinely one of my favourite little lines from tme
10. tysm !!! i am glad it seems to be coming across well
11. i can answer it! they fell asleep together, the phone rang with their wakeup call, and neither of them mentioned anything about it as they got up. author's note, it was some of the best sleep that either of them have had in years
15 & 16. i go crazy about in this post !!! throws up and dies !!!
17. yes :)
18. excuse you its very gentle, she just wants to keep her fed

sunday - monday
single is out now, wow.
my mom texted me a bit ago, just because, which is nice. in other news i finally put out the single i've been sitting on/trying to get right, and i got it right today, by adding a tiny bit to the left channel, and remixing the b side, which was very easy, now that i'm used to that process. like i said in the main post, the cover art had to be messed w/ to get it right for various platforms, the png was too big and all that stuff. when i make the next cover it needs to be at 3000x3000, which bites kind of, i like how much you can do w/ 5000x5000.
anyway, here is the image as it is as a jpg (actually png):
and there is the song, is it even possible to link to playlists on tumblr? also i can't even put anything abt this on instagram, how weird and annoying.
okay i got the insta thing to work (they too cannot handle the 5kx5k image and instead wanted it to be 50% the size (but they would not tell me that!!)). i wonder what i'm gonna do tomorrow, with music or cooking or anything really. i wanted to get this out because i want people to hear this if they come to me from that interview i did (lol), so they get a better idea of where i'm at musically i guess. this isn't really super representative of the whole record still though, but i like that. it's different angles on roughly the same kind of sound(s)/idea(s). i really like the ugly feedback stuff i added today.
all the weird hiccups i ran into today w/ cover art was really baffling, it's not like anyone is gonna notice this stuff really but i don't really like how it looks at 50% size because it makes some of the pixellations weird (i overuse dithering/indexed images in a weird way where they overlap and create new patterns (i hope)) this whole process fucking with the things i do, sort of. i don't think it's absent entirely it's just different/more disordered. if i focus on 3k x 3k and a pretty precise colorspace (that i need to figure out) then i think i'll be good. what i'm thinking of is doing 2 different 16 color palettes for 2 different sides of the collage / different pieces. so certain things can pop, i guess. anyways i guess sometime soon i should assemble the things i want to use for the cover art, and create at least the one thing i am certain on wanting for it (pink and black bull's eye thingy).
also i was able to get the image on sc to just be the jpg of the real cover, which is kind of crazy to me, but whatever.
regarding my life as i live it, nothing really happened, my gf dyed her hair blonde, which is funny, it's already blonde. she's been doing this a while but it makes me wonder, i guess, about how she likes it more blonde, more than natural. it looks good on her, it's just funny how i thought it was pretty bright normally, but apparently not bright enough, i wonder if it corresponds to how she imagines herself, i remember the first time, it was very crazy to her, it felt/looked perfect on her, it was sort of like she was meant to be that cartoonishly blonde, in like a 1970s anime kind of way.
and now i am just sat here eating pretzels to stave of cravings for sweets (trying to keep my mouth occupied i guess (i do that a lot)).
anyway i am tired, i ought to just turn in soon, soon:
byebye!!!!!!!

(About the brother!atsushi) aRE YOU READING MY MIND MISS?! Because that has been on my mind for MONTHS. TYSM For writing it was amazing!! If you don't mind, may I request (if requests are open) atsushi, still an older brother, but with a sister that's 10-13 yrs old? It's totally fine if you don't wanna do it. Keep up the good stories, ily mwuah!
*sobs* youāre so kind thank youu š¤§š¤§
i wrote this a bit differently i hope thatās okay anon! at first i planned for this to be mainly abt atsushi and the reader, but i decided to add in relationship hcs with the agency bc i ran out of ideas
if you guys liked this donāt worry! im planning a special part two for this one so be the look out for it hehe
atsushi with a tween! sister
ft. the armed detective agency
like in my baby sister hcs, youāre still the most important thing to him period
the two of you got picked up by dazai and kunikida when he was 18 (obviously) and when you were 12
for a 12 year old, you were a bit small bc of malnourishment (which makes atsushi feel so bad) so both dazai and kunikida thought you were a bit younger than you actually were
they assumed you were about 9-10ish
you and atsushi both share a favorite food !! chazuke :)
so when kunikida treated the two of you, he made sure you got more bowls bc like i mentioned above, he feels really bad that you were malnourished and under weight
(donāt bring this up but kunikida felt bad too hehe)
when dazai went with your brother to the warehouse, you were with kunikida
imagine the surprise of the other ada members when kunikida came in with a little girl dressed in rags that popped out from behind him
kenji was the one who vocalized his thoughtsĀ
ākunikida-san you have a daughter?! wow! i didnāt know that! :Dā
when you found out your brother was a tiger, you were a bit concerned but you were actually kind of excited
you were even more excited when you found out the two of you were going to be taken in by the agency
anything was better than the stupid orphanage
and besides!
you got a tiger for an older brother and a bunch of other super powered agents to take care of you! who could want anything else?
at your age, youāre very impressionable and can be influenced easily so atsushi makes sure to teach you more in depth of good morals and the importance of kindness
his heart swells with pride and relief when he catches you being kind to others
pride bc heās proud that even after all the two of you have gone through, you still ended up being a good kid and having a bright view of the world
and relief bc he hasnāt failed as a big brother
pfftt like he could ever fail
but please, from time to time reassure him that heās perfect and the only big brother that youād ever want bc he rlly needs that kind of validation
with his salary and savings, he tries to buy nice things for you
what a sweetheart š„ŗ
he saw you eyeing that one dress at a store window? fast forward abt a week and half and itās inside a pretty gift bag for you
you wanted to try that dessert from the nice bakery? thatās dessert after dinner at one point
but other than buying you things, he sets money aside for you
like all the time
(y/n), here have this, you might need itā
ābut nii-san you just gave meāā
ātake itā
#1 spoiler
also your #1 confidant and source of physical affection
you tell him anything and everything (except crushies and those kinds of things)
atsushi loves it when you talk abt your day and he can see the big smile on your face and the sparkle in your eyes
it gives him the strength to keep going šš
the two of you arenāt as touch starved as youād probably think, but thatās only bc the two of you had each other
in your opinion, no one can match the hugs of your big brother
and it got even better bc YAYY he has tiger arms nowĀ Ł©(āāæā)Ū¶
if you ask, heād carry you around too hehe
you also get nightmares quite often so heāll always be there ready to calm you down, talk if you need to, and rock you back to sleep
god i love him š¤§š¤§
atsushi will do everything in his power to protect you and make sure you get to grow up happy, supported, and loved
port mafia attack? oop heās already taking you to the nearest escape route
someone is starting to harass you? they just got suckered punched into the next week
you want to go out to have some fun? heāll go ask the president for a day off
youāre not feeling well? heāll take another day off and take care of you
whatever you want to do, heāll do it with you! (as long as itās within reason)
will always be your #1 supporter! and heās the president of your fan club hehe
he loves you so so much and will do anything for you; your life and happiness will always be more important to him
you are his reason to keep going
agency head canons !!
atsushi is your big brother, but kunikida is most definitely some sort of father figure
everyone can see it
except kunikida of course
kunikida scolds you lightly if he thinks your manners need work or if you make a mess in the agency
you listen to him of course and in turn as some sort of a reward, heāll give you pieces of stationary
he always gives you the nice, good quality kind and youāre over the moon
atsushi adores it when you come running to him showing your new notebook or fountain pen and blabbering what youāre going to do with it
sometimes it isnāt even as a reward for being a good child; heāll just give it to you and heāll say smth like āi noticed youāve used up your last notebook quite quickly, so hereās another oneā orĀ ādid you run out of ink? here have this thenā
he usually has a soft spot for children in general, but he most definitely has a soft spot (or a thousand) for you
yosano is kind of like a motherly figure to you
she gives you the guidance a mother should and goes on shopping trips with you!
atsushi always gets dragged along by you, but he thinks itās worth it seeing you look so happy
yosano being a doctor also tries to teach the things you should know, or things that would be helpful to you
sheāll teach you the basics of cooking, sewing, how to treat a cold/fever, etc
also gives you excellent advice 1000% of the time
āremember (y/n)-chan if someone hurts you come tell me and then iāll chop them intoāā
āyOSANO-SENSEI DONT TELL HER THATāā
fukuzawa is like a father to most in the agency but you see him more as a grandfather figure
bi weekly tea and gossip sessions hehe
along with cat talk!
most of the time though, itās just you talking and him listening to you, but the two of you enjoy it nonetheless
āand then kunikida-san ended up crashing into a pole and dazai-san started to laugh at him and i did too because it was really funny but we ended up getting scoldedāā
āhmm i see...ā
heāll let you stay in his office as he fills out paperwork; youāre usually doodling or drawing in your notebooks
sometimes heāll meditate and youāll join him, but 4/7 times youād fall asleep
you always wake up with a blanket over you
dazai is like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle
frequently takes you out with him when he ditches work
walks in the park, eating at uzumakiĀ so he has the excuse of treating you so he doesnāt have to pay his tab avoiding kunikida and sometimes chuuya and akutagawa, all that fun stuff
also tries to not talk abt suicide in front of you especially if itās just the two of you alone
he knows that you mean the world to his pupil and that said pupil would probably hate him for putting suicide inside your brain
he teaches you random but useful things like how to pick a lock, how to steal kunikidaās notebook if youāre looking for some information, how to sweet talk your way out of things, etc.
is also the one to tell you that if you ever get a significant other to introduce them to the agency first
he always wants all of your gossip; some of them work pretty well for blackmail
ādazai-san! dazai-san! did you know that kunikida-san lost his glasses and he was looking for them for nearly an hour when he was just holding them the entire time??ā
āwoah really (y/n)-chan?! hey hey can you say it again into this recording device so kunikida-kun would believe me when i tell himāā
always ends up giving kunikida a heart attack when he says that youāve been with him all day
ranpo is also like a cool but a highly concerning and kind of high maintenance uncle
will share some of his snacks, but donāt push it or you might not get anything at all
loves it when you compliment him
if you tagged along with him and your brother on a case, he will show off to impress you
ā...and thatās how the crime happenedā
āUWAHH RANPO-SAN YOUāRE SO COOLā
atsushi is lowkey and kunikida is highkey stressed that ranpoās eating habits will rub off on you
āne (y/n)-chan do you wanna try this highly caffeinated drink and this concerning amount of sugar filled snack?ā
ācan i really?!ā
ārANPO-SAN NOāā
ranpo definitely does stuff like that on purposeĀ
the tanizakis are like siblings to you!
a weird set of siblings but siblings nonetheless
the two of them adore you and think youāre precious
atsushi definitely knows how to do your hair whether itās long or short but he got even better at it when he asked the two
hehe braid trains are definitely a thing + kyouka and kenji (and maybe even dazai)
sometimes you have sibling swap days
youāre with junichiro for most of the day and atsushi is with naomi
strange i know
each of the tanizaki siblings try to make it fun bc they know that the two of you did not at all have a happy upbringing
junichiro likes spending time with you by taking you out to different places that naomi likes to frequent
like the mall, different stores and restaurants, the park, places like those
naomi does the same thing with atsushi so if you ever bump into them, you go out and eat together :)
besides atsushi, the next one in line who spoils you the most would be junichiro (and yosano & kunikida both coming in at a close third)
he honestly canāt help it; you remind him of how naomi was when she was younger
and besides
heās always been a sucker when it came to the happiness of a little sister
āwould you really buy this for me junichiro-san?!ā
āof course! donāt worry about itā :)
wanna talk abt boys/girls/celebrity crushes things like that? naomi is your girl
you feel a bit embarrassed to go talking to yosano or your brother abt that and kyouka does not know a thing abt them either
āuwahh naomi-san look at all these people in this magazine! they look so good!ā
āright?! but of course onii-sama is still the bestāā
you get along with kenji and kyouka quite nicely being roughly the same age as them; theyāre also like siblings!
just pure, wholesome vibes from the three of you
youāre over the moon when she finds out that kyouka is staying with you and your brother
atsushi is twice as happy seeing you talk your mouth off and finally having a girl around your age to talk to
ādo you think demon snow can change how she looks?ā
āhmm... im not sure...ā
you and kenji talk abt anything and everything
he even teaches you how to take care of plants!
sometimes the two of you are kind of in the same boat bc you donāt know much abt yokohoma being stuck in the orphanage and kenji doesnāt know much abt cities in general
āwait where are we again kenji-san?ā
āah weāre close to the ports! but im not really sure how close because i donāt know what the symbols on this sign meanā
ādonāt worry! neither do i!ā
bonus things!
yosanoĀ was kind of too late teaching you abt you know what
āNII-SAN IM BLEEDING IN BETWEEN MY LEGSā
youāre sobbing in the agencyās bathroom and atsushi is panicking trying to get you to open the door
āY/N?! H-HOLD ON LET ME GET YOSANO SENSEIā
ranpo overhears and cackles making everyone around him confused
suddenly atsushi bursts in the agency basically on the verge of tears rambling incoherent sentences abt the bathroom, you, and blood
it just clicked for everybody in the room
(im going to pretend that kenji has sisters back home so that atsushi is the only one who remain oblivious here hehe)
atsushi is genuinely confused and sort of concerned that no one is freaking out with him
yosano waves her hand saying smth like that sheād take care of it and junichiro pulls atsushi to the side to talk to him
fast forward like half and hour and dazai and ranpo are cackling on the looks of both of your faces
honestly not sure whoās more traumatized, you or your brother
āwhy does this have to happenā :(
āne ne (y/n)-chan!~ youāre too young but at some point youāre not going to have it!ā
āuwahh really dazai-san?ā :D
āyeah! but first you have to have ANFKāā
next thing you know your ears are being covered by your brother and dazai is thrown across the room by kunikida
you know
the normal
youāre twelve and have never gone to school, but the agency takes care of that
itās too dangerous to go to school so they teach you whatās necessary and whatever else they can
kunikida takes care of math (obviously)
yosano takes care of science/biology/anatomy/health (whatever you wanna call it)
ranpo even dragged poe to help you with english
atsushi even got lucy to help you out with english too!
as tanizaki and naomi used to be students, they give you their old work books and they try to teach you all the other subjects
sometimes kyouka and kenji are there learing with you too!
sorry if thereās some errors! iāll read through it again later :)
and as always, reblogs and shares are appreciated! i hope you all stay safe! and just in case nobody told you they loved you today, i love you! you are enough! <3
writing belongs to me! please do not plagiarize! the reblog button is there for a reason

I do expect Du-shik's past to be complicated, but I don't like this type of 'complicated' that only pushed him right into the corner and instead making him more miserable because not only Hye-jin hasn't completely understand what was going on with her boyfriend to even try overcoming this with him, now you're telling me we have a freaking 3-years-long incident unfinished because apparently Do-ha's father VERY SUDDENLY is involved with Du-shik's past and that ending?Can we just cut Du-shik some slack WHY IS THE WRITER HELL-BENT ON HURTING HIM FURTHER LIKE THIS INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM TIME TO HEAL??????????????????
I'm also not liking how Do-ha's suddenly pushed into the centre out of nowhere. This isn't it. He's not even an important character before this episode, and now that ending?????
Do I hate the plot twist?No. But if you want to do it, do it EARLIER. Lay out the backstory gradually instead of leaving everything to Kim Seon-ho's masterful microexpression for 12 episodes long and then suddenly dumping pieces of it on episode 13 & 14, and now even had the guts to have it continued to the finale week. This is just...way too much. I'm beyond speechless how a character like Du-shik still hasn't got his backstory told when it's one of the most important focus on the show. The show's supposed to reveal it slowly and let him take time to heal but how the fuck will he do that when his past isn't even solved at the moment???????????Are you freaking serious of not giving this character a break from his constant fear & trauma for what will be 15 episodes long and save the last episode to show him recovering right away without a proper process to it?Why the hell they even show him going to therapist then????Is it only there to serve as a sign that he's not okay????Because I want the show to take Du-shik's arc seriously for once, and not just use it as a some potential tearjearking subplot. Call this a healing show all you want, but I'm growingly frustrated by how the show's straight up refusing to take care of its main character's arc and instead dragging the hell out of it like this while being busy trying to woven all the supporting characters' story when it's the main lead who needs to borrow the spotlight to explain themselves the most at the moment. Do I not care about the rest of characters?I FUCKING CARE ABT THEM (how incredibly ironic that I thought the previous episode did such a good job constructing the side characters' story) BUT PLEASE FINISH DU-SHIK'S ARC FIRST BEFORE SHIFTING THE FOCUS ON THEM. I can't believe we have 80 minutes to talk about Du-shik's trauma and how the past got to be revealed and yet not even half is spent on that. And now they want to bring this into episode 15?
Why are being like this, show?I mean I knew I had unrealistic expectation for hoping homcha to be different compared to those formulaic romcoms in terms of resolving the conflict, and it hurts to see it failing them for the first time since I first watched this show. I've never been this disappointed, truly.
And I don't like seeing how not even Hye-jin, after witnessing Du-shik in his most fragile state, didn't even bother to give him a hug for once. The man's obviously hurting, but it pains me that instead of giving him place to lean on, they kept talking about taking a break, or how she originally doesn't have patience but is willing to wait for him. Others may have been calling this a perfect depiction of 'healthy' relationship, and while I love how both of them are so open whenever they're talking to each other, sometimes not every single thing has to be spoken, and simply being there to support him is more than enough. Just hug the guy for once, he looked so anxious throughout this episode, even when they were talking and I'm sad that no one tries to come closer to finally support him without asking anything and stop being a mere bystander.
Does that mean that I don't see Hye-jin being hurt by this too?No. But at the moment...even when she has someone to lean on after the first scene through Hwa-jeong, Du-shik's still left alone feeling anxious & sorry for how his trauma's preventing him to be happy with Hye-jin. And seeing the glimpse of the preview...isn't it sad that we've been with him for 14 episodes and not even someone he loves at the moment could offer him some assurance that it's going to be fine. Because well, it's not. And that just makes things tons much worse than it already is.
Whatever's going to happen, let it happen. I just realized that the more I have expectation for this show for this week particularly, the more I feel let down by it. It's sad that I will not get to see the whole process of Du-shik's properly recovering from his trauma, but at least I'll know the complete story next week and stop feeling like my heart would break every moment he's shown on the screen. I'm not even expecting the romance now. The tone shift of their relationship between last week and now is way too off. I'm all in for a mature relationship, but at the very least, I was hoping Hye-jin to be more understanding and just stay with him no matter how hard it is. But I'm perfectly aware that these two are just different in terms of personality & mindset. Hye-jin wasn't someone that could offer a thing when she doesn't know where she stands on their relationship, and I'm expecting too much of her for being the so-called 'bamboo forest' for Du-shik just like what Hwa-jeong said, when she's still clueless about the future of both of them from now on. But still can someone just...I don't know...hug Du-shik for once?I'm feeling absolutely weirded out at how I spent a major part of today tearing up thinking about him because every single bit about this character just hit way too close to home and it was just so heartbreaking and yet relatable for mešššš
I'm so mad (well now got to cool down quite a bit after writing all of thesešš) that I just had to write this down. I don't know if y'all understand my perspective for this episode, but just this is merely a personal opinion of mine. And fyi, I'm a person who had just said in my previous post that this show has been a constant joy for the past few weeks that I nearly feel like I'm living for it sometimes lol. Seems like being a clown is my daily job whenever I'm watching dramas these daysš¤”

7x17 the line āpart of me always believed that youād come backā wasnāt in the script but was in the promo. perhaps heller jackles ad libbed?? (link)
also from 7x17, script leak of cut scene from when dean tells cas he walked out of the river to fix it he says ācause i never stopped wanting to fix it either. so we got something in commonā awwww (link)
CONFIRMED that dean was supposed to say i love u to cas in the iconic 8x17 but they changed the line to āweāre familyā. i would include this in canon but its super old news (link)

- January 8, 2021 - after various rumors of dean and benny being in a relationship and their falling out being a break up (hi leaked scripts) ty olsson (slur) confirms canon deanbenny in s8. we love bi dean in this house. also this means that all of purgatory, benny had to watch his BOYFRIEND spend and entire YEAR looking for his ex. this is why cas and benny hated each other so much (link)

Here it is. A Piece Of Borrower Content Written Entirely In Stream Of Consciousness:
AN: so this is incomplete and veryā¦needs revisions to the timeline to incorporate some things I added later! Itās the original universe that Miraās from! I edited it like Slightly to just change Rossās name to Ross (if u see Max anywhere thatās his old one I just felt like changing it so thatās just him but different. Anyway) Everything's under the readmore tab, cheers!
The Library Fairy:
-
Basic Plot (Chrono, comic starts from human perspective abt the ālegend of the library fairyā ig maybe. Nothing here is permanent cept the characterization)
Part A
1- Mira is borrower currently chillin in a college library
2- She lives off of the cafe on the second floor nd reads lots and lots of stuff about everything when the upper floors close (lower floor open 24/7 but upper floors r vacant p much after 12:00 AM)
3- she starts getting increasingly curious about human stuff cos sheās literate nd books r pry neat
4- it starts one night when she spots an unattended notebook and a half eaten blueberry muffin, nd itās 12:30 so nobodyās coming back in atm (itās the 80s so no laptops for the plebians quite yet)
5- so she goes āwelpā nd takes part of the muffin, then sees the work on the page and goes āhmmmm this is incorrectā so she helps our and leaves notes here n there to point the kid in the right direction and puts down some book refs for further study bcos at this point sheās been there for 2 years and she knows where most things are
6- she stays behind to see if the human comes back for it, hidden in a hidey hole near the desk
7- human comes in, sees notebook, practically melts w relief nd stuffs it in his bag
8- next day human comes back nd leaves nother notebook and a cookie, along w a hidden camera
9- Mira goes āo boy, this a trap, innitā
10- Mira then decides āeh whatever I havenāt had contact w anyone in years now so I might as wellā
11- she steals the camera film nd leaves a lil scrap of paper saying ānice try ;)ā on it
12- student comes back, sees paper, goes ādammitā, then leaves note addressed to the ālibrary fairyā and another cookie, as well as more of their work for her to help with
13- bout a decade goes by and now the āLibrary Fairyā is an urban myth, itās currently 2003 so sheās also wound up on the schoolās unofficial Wikipedia page under ālocal cryptidsā
14- most library employees know of her but they donāt go looking out of fear stemming from superstitions bout her, somehow the legend grew from ācanāt be photographedā to āa student once saw her and died that dayā
15- thereās now a small shrine devoted to her where ppl bring offerings hoping to get good grades in return, sometimes they will leave papers for her to proofread nd stuff
16- new prof (named Alexei) finds online article thinks he Knows Whatās Up bcos he had a borrower friend as a kid, but they left when borrowerās fam found out about them knowing each other
17- he leaves note wedged in one of her secret entrances behind outlet, asking if she can meet w him at some point
18- Mira, already In it, goes āOkay. Alright. This has gone on for long enough. Time to go and never returnā but ofc sheās curious as all hell and like she decides she will at least honor the guyās request for a convo b4 she goes, but on her terms and w/o speaking face 2 face
19- they Talk in the library after hours, bcos he paid off the janitor to let him stay after hours nd most of the student employees recognize him as a prof nd leave him alone
20- they talk again for every subsequent night
21- she uhhhh finally decides to reveal herself nd prays that her hunch was right nd he wonāt try to grab her or anything
22- he doesnāt but sheās nervous so she winds up gettin caught in her own climbing rope like idiot, is now dangling from ceiling in tangled mess
23- he stifles chuckle nd she says smthn sarcastic
24- he moves closer and offers to untangle her
25- sheās like āpleaseā
26- so he do, but her grip on the rope slips nd he has to catch her
26- so now sheās in his hand and he just sets her down and now heās a bumbling embarrassed mess bcos he said he wasnāt going to hold her and he just did and o dear pls forgib him
28- nd sheās like ādude u just saved my life itās fine ur fine chillā
29- internally sheās going HOLY FUCK AAAAAAA but externally, her humanās already worked up enough as it is so sheās gotta b the level headed one
29.5- after a while they both kinda get used to each other more, he gets tenure, they celebrate, some more stuff happens, Aleksei got married (not to Mira, Mira hasnāt actually rly thought about being in a relationship w anyone cos sheās laser focused on gaining as much knowledge as possible)
30- eventually Alexeiās like āhey so Iām dean of faculty for the biotech branch now uhhhh would u like actual job teaching students? Cos, uh, you can do it remotely thru online lectures n stuff, no in person interaction, and I uh was just kinda wonderingāā
31- sheās like āyes. Yes!!! LET ME HELP PEOPLE OFFICIALLY KINDAā
32- so now sheās a professor, and has revealed her Secret a few times here n there to a number of the faculty, nd she has recorded her own findings in a personal journal
33- āhumans will treat u like a human if they think ur human first. The kids call it ācatfishingāā
34- enter Ross, an mall goth who accidentally tripped headfirst into a premed program
35- Miraās favorite field of study is bio so naturally sheās his prof for a majority of his classes
36- being the good boy that he is, he now knows Miraās secret. There is an Entire Chapter on him finding out and legit just continuing their conversation as if everything was normal bcos he thought that was how he was supposed to handle the situation
37- then she says āu can ask questions, u knowā heās like OH THANK FUCK CAUSE I HAVE SEVEN HUNDRED OF THOSE
38- and now he kinda knows what to look for in terms of ādo borrowers live here check yes or noā
39-in his apartment, the answer is yes and he mistakenly kinda stumbles upon the mom one night when he wakes up in the middle of the night for Snack and opts to pretend like its not happening. Unfortunately the thing she was trying 2 borrow (piece of crumb cake for Son Boyās birthday) is the thing he wants 2 eat so heās like āuh. āScuse me, maāam.ā and he peels back the saran wrap on the other side of the plate, takes piece, nd then leaves some there for her
40-so now the woman is like āwelp guess it time 2 Leaveā
.1- she and husband Talk
.2-they decide it best 2 go
.3-theyre Packing
.4-lil bab Ellie confused
.5-hawk attacke
.6-cut to Ross
41- Ross also happens to work at a bar and he goes outside for a break
43- he finds smal childāsmol smalāon the sidewalk and said child is missing an arm, nd has lost a lot of blood, so heās uhhhhh Losing It highkey
43.5-parents r nowhere 2 b seen, but the hawk is nearby and circling. Ross gets an idea of what just happened
44- he up and leaves work, thankfully his apartment is above the shop so he jumps up the fire escape w the child and
45- he make tourniquet
46- he calls Mira nd asks her 2 come over to ASAP. heās A Mess at this point
47- it is Very touch and go, kid needs blood, Mira is the only viable donor so sheās just gotta pray that the blood type is fine and wonāt kill him
48- and then eventually they manage 2 stave infection thru antibiotics properly dosed to his size, Mira does Math and Prays basically
49- ābout a month in, kid wakes up
50- kid doesnāt rember much since heās only 3
51- hes v scared of Ross at first but over time he gets used 2 the human
52- kid (elliot) starts 2 call Ross ādadā after a while
53- Ross: *internal screaming but in a good way*
54- the end kinda for now
Part 2
A- New Borrowers In The Building
āthree of em. paranoid dad, mom, nd daughter thatās Elliotās age so heās pumped
B- Elliot offers them a place 2 stay briefly
C- he knows by now bout like, how borrowers donāt typically interact w humans and Auntie Miraās a bit of a weird case so he just doesnāt tell em bout his dad being the human
D- the kid finds out first nd doesnāt tell the parents, but they figure it out later kinda and think that itās a āo god heās being kept as a petā sitch so theyāre >:| abt it
E- they move out and try to take Elliot w them (by force bcos they think heās brainwashed) but he escapes and makes it to Ross, whoās like āuhhhhhhā
F- and the mom come out the hole near the counter n starts yelling at Ross, who isā¦kinda used to it since Mira brings in ppl who need help from time 2 time and they typically donāt react well when theyāre lucid enough to understand whatās going on. Heās just not used to being questioned about his own kid
G- so theyāre like āWHAT DO YOU THINK YOUāRE DOING WITH HIMā
H- and heās like ārā¦raising him???ā
I- and Ellie steps up and heās like āthis is my dad. I decided he was my dad when I was three. Heās being a good parentā
J- and Ross is like āyeah what he said. Iām a good parent.ā
K- Ross is riding that high til the end of fucking time but like back to the story at hand
L- this is when the husband comes out nd is like ālissen. wifey. ily but that is a very big human and he hasnāt grabbed us yet so letās count our blessings and gtfoā
M- but sheās like āuh no we stay until Iām sure Elliot is Safe and fucking Soundā
N- so they stay for dinner nd stick around a little longer.
O- Val (the kid) gets closer 2 Elliot and also Ross a bit
P- Mira shows once or twice, first time she shows up theyāre like āoh god itās the crazy doctor lady this all makes sense nowā (bcos Mira does check up on as many borrower families as possible in her free time so word has got around by now Of her, and the number by which to contact her in case her services r needed)
Q- After a month or so, then they decide to leave bcos theyāre like ālook we get that ur son is ur son and he only has one arm and in our profession that is kind of a death sentence but we canāt have our kid getting used to dealing w humans who know about our existenceā so they go and leave on a kind of sour note bcos Ellie can do anything he wants to do just as well as any other borrower Thank You Very Much and Ross is ready to fite anyone who thinks otherwise
R- Elliot starts trying 2 b more independent, basically from now on heās like āI can do everything my Damn Self Thanksā
S- but uh he does it to a point where heās going out of the way to endanger himself
T- so they get into a fite about it and ross Yells and Elliot is like ākthxbyeā
U- and the boi just. Fuckin bolts. Runs Away. Ross is a Mess, he starts smoking again (he quit cold turkey the day he took Elliot in) to curb the depression, heās jus. Not doin good, worried that his son is dead and the last time they talked itād ended badly
V- FREEDOM!!!1! Except Ellie doesnāt kno how to take care of himself so itās a rough month or so and then he runs into some other borrowers livin in their own town in the wild ig, chillin, being hella independent, and heās like āuh yes ofc I will join u, I was w my dad for a while but.........ā he neither confirms nor denies that his dadās dead but everyone kinda just assumes.
Part 3
W-anyway a year goes by and then the borrower group gets hit hard w some kind of sickness ig. Elliot gets it too heās basically incapacitated n drifting in and out of lucidity. So. They contact the weird crazy doctor lady who hangs around humans, a.k.a. Mira, and sheās like āoh. fuck. I know this kid.ā bcos she does, u kno, and she jus treats em all for their ailment and shows them how to make antibiotic poultice thing in case smthn like it happens again. Mold. Penicillin is basically what it is
X-she and Elliot hav a Chat (Mira basically yells at him a lot) once heās fixed up and he decides heās gonna visit his dad but he makes it very clear that he is a Grown Up (heās not, heās literally sixteen), and he is living on his own now
Y- he agrees to stay for a week tho since he misses his home a lot tbh and Ross is just. Over the fucking moon to know heās ALIVE, heās not gonna fuck up their relationship by insisting that he stay. Or like, by keeping him ofc he would never
Z- unfortunately the borrower community put two and two together and figured out his dadās human so they have his stuff packed up when he gets back w mira, whoās ready to go the fuck off on them
End 1:
-Ellie is living at Rossās place atm and hopeful about the future basically. He eventually will go off on his own but heāll keep in contact w his dad and stuff
Part C.5
55- few yrs later
56- elliot is Adult now he does adult borrower stuff
57- he moves out
58- finds nice borrower gf (her nameās Tess)
59- doesnāt tell her about his dad being human but talks about his dad a LOT
60- so when she asks to meet said father heās just like āuh. Maybe we donāt do that actuallyā
61- and sheās like āy thoā
62- and heās like ābcosā
63- anyway she decides to look into it cos she knows he goes to see his dad nd keep in touch but his dad is allegedly āa recluse who lives in the big scary humanās walls to avoid other pplā
64- which is. Not true in the slightest tbqh heās def not an introvert heās just a workaholic and he Is the big scary human
65- anywho they run into Val and her wife and sheās like āhowās Ross been?ā And Elliot is acting Very Suspish so she, being Smart, calls it immediately and is like āoh shit u havenāt told her yet have uā
66- Tess: ātold me whatā
67- Val: āElās dad is a human, bro.ā
68- Tess: āIām sorry?ā
69- this results in a Big Fight and they separate for like, a month. Elliot blames Val bcos heās being irrational and doesnāt wanna admit to the fact that lying to his girlfriend for over a year was Real Bad Actually, but over time heās like āyeah itās my fault sry for snapping at uā cos he works thru his emotions n stuff
70- Eventually gf comes back cos sheās like āok so. I understand why you lied to me about your dad. It was a dick move but I do get it and I still care about you a lot. I would like. To meet him.ā
80- this is a lie she does not want to meet him she is doing this bcos she does not want to lose Elliot and that outweighs the fear of his dad
81- so they go to meet him but sheās just kinda. Behind the wall at first like āthatās a crazy big human this is crazy ur crazy itās time to gOā
82- Val is also there bcos she hasnāt seen Ross in a while
83- they eventually coax her out of hiding
84- and by that I mean Val picks her up and drags her out into the open by force bcos she basically freezes up the second she catches sight of Ross and Valās like āu didnāt come all this way for nothing, bichā
85- they have a Painfully Awkward First Meeting, Tess is trying her best but oh god heās just too fucking. Larg. Ellie ur dad too big
86- tbh tho the ice kinda breaks after Ellie and Ross get into a fight over smthn stupid (im thinking Elliot grumbles bout Rossās hair being unruly and heās worried that miraās using it like a personal storage system again and Ross is like āIāve been keeping better track of that actuallyā and then like a little line of paper clips and a few hand-bound notebooks tied together w some string fall out of his fucking mane and heās like āI can explainā
87- ādad you canāt keep letting her use your hair like a fucking NESTā
88- Tess is laughing now cos god damn this was not what she was expecting
89- thatās it the end it ends w Tess laughing at them being idiots good times r had by all
Uhhhh thatās it so far. I have More but itās kinda jumbled rn and I need to fit stuff in places. Anyway.

Have been thinking A Lot abt hunger games au + hawks thanks to you
What if he was raised in district 13 in the early days before they had a lot of ppl, so they decided they needed someone close to the capitol. They train him to win the hunger games and send him to some random district to enter and be a spy. Itās perfect, since his fatherās a murderer he shouldnāt have qualms over killing people, and also heās in their debt for getting him away from his father.
Heās not the youngest to ever win, but the only person to do it without killing someone, and heās the youngest of the mentors at the age of 15, mentoring bc district 13 needs him in the capitol. He makes it out of the hunger games without killing anyone but then district 13 uses him as an assassin anyway :/ and ofc the capitol doesnāt leave him alone even though heās still a teenager
Wyoming,
Have I ever told you youāre brilliant and I love you?
I honestly think this is so interesting b/c youāve kinda cast District 13 as the Commission whereas I did the opposite? I love the idea of them holding his parentage over this head, likeĀ āYou shouldnāt care b/c of your father.ā Does he have his quirk? It seems like wings would make it a lot easier for him to sneak into the Districts but idk. How long was he there before he got pulled for the Games? Seems super interesting to figure out how he like,,, got away with all that.
Also Hawks mentoring ppl much older than him has me LMFAO.
I love that he wins the Games without killing but gets used as an assassin :ā( This is so much fun!!!!
So I actually have my version of a HG au outlined pretty well, so Iāll put pieces of my thoughts on it here just to reciprocate the sharing lmao.
So, to make it work the way I wanted to, I fucked around with the worldbuilding and the Games A LOT.
I basically have the Commission as a lighter version of the Capitol, and the PLF+ AFO as a darker version of District 13 (after all, Detnerat is venturing into the hero support industry in canon while District 13 was the weapons district).
I changed the Games big time: So, essentially, instead of the Games being a way for the Capitol to flex their power on the Districts, the Games are a more brutal hero licensing exam.
One hero tribute volunteers from each district (and yes, they always volunteer b/c who doesnāt want to be a hero?) and the other 12 tributes are villains captured by licensed heroes. The Games continue until all tributes on oneĀ āsideā are killed. If the villains win, their crimes are pardoned and they are "allowedā to leave the Districts. If the heroes win, all surviving tributes become full-fledged heroes and their Districts win extra rations for the year.
Hero tributes can volunteer between 12-18, while villains can be any age. Most hero tributes wait until theyāre 16-18 to volunteer, but Hawks is actually an exception who volunteered and won at 12 b/c of Reasons :) Hero hopefuls from any district are actually trained for part of every year in the Capitol to help balance the fact that the villains tend to be so much older.
Hawks is from District 12 but he moved to the Capitol/Commission right after his father was captured when he was v young. They train him to enter the Games when heās old enough, and when heās in his twenties, they task him with infiltrating District 13/PLF to take them down before they storm the Districts.
Hawks is the youngest to win the Games, but All Might is the fastest and the only one to win with every hero tribute alive and unharmed. Endeavor enters to beat his record, but he doesnāt manage. So he has children specifically to enter them into the Games to beat him. During Shoutoās year, Midoriya also enters and technically jumpstarts the revolution omg Iām gonna stop now.
ANYWAY, I think thatās a fairly big chunk of the basic set-up I have.Ā

Inside looks like an office, shelf w pickled body parts + cataloguing what the parts r and what they do
They were running away lmao ok

A bunch of teeth

"dom I'm gonna bend down to it"
The chest has closed back
Adam is going to throw rations instead, dex check
13; doesn't open so adam drops food on its head
Chest sits there looking at adam and eventually out of the side of the chest a weird stretchy amoeba-like arm comes out of it, takes the food and throws it in its mouth
"who's a good boy ? Who's a good boy !! Who's a good chest !!" adam, 2020
Adam takes out all his five rations and makes a trail leading out of the room
Chomper ? Maybe
It looks uninterested and its eyes have shut
Looks exactly like a chest now and hasn't moved; still has an arrow but just looks like a normal chest
It's a small chest that's pickuppable
Adam wants to walk his chest
Adam casts sleep on the chest
7d8s
27hp
When adam casts sleep the chest doesn't move, adam rolls perception 5
Adam tries to pick it up from behind v carefully from the bottom
It's kinda stuck to the floor and the wall; doesn't appear willing to budge
Asyna is still ape!asyna
Tries picking it up from behind like adam
Rolls a 6; won't move
One of its creepy tendrils sticks out and hits ape!asyna
10 bludgeoning damage; ape!asyna basically got slapped but now stuck to the chest
It's kind of loose now
Ape!asyna rolls a 20 and yanks it off the wall, now just dangling off asyna's arm and it's heavier than asyna thought it was
Feels dense
Adam is gonna try and tie its mouth shut
"he kinda starts flailing around a bit" dom, 2020
"aw he likes his new leash" jacob, 2020
Jacob gets hit again
Ape!asyna is gonna try and pull it off, 17 and gets off

Slams it on desk, doesn't let go, nature check adam has no idea what it is
At some point the chest drops off, we stand back and adam casts shatter
11 damage
Chest kind of melts into the floor almost like it deflated, starts snaking way across room until it finds a hole and slithers up and disappears
"fuck you too chompi" adam 2020
Where it dissolves is 20 gold
"n I c e . That was worth the four spell slots" adam, 2020
Adam disguises self and turns into his dad
Adam is a tiefling
Dad is not a tiefling
Taller, dark black hair but not curly, short on the sides + floof forward
Looks more confident than adam
Same freckles
No one knew adam had freckles
Look p similar overall
Sounds the same as adam when he talks
He's a human
We don't know it's adam's dad
"a real dilf" dom, 2020, about adam's dad
"not like your REAL DAD, JACOB, JESUS" dom, 2020
Now we don't have time to unpack ALL OF THAT
Gonna find a hotel or smth
Except gotta disguise selves first
In the wig shop there is any wig u could possibly desire

Asyna un-apes and disguises self as asyna
Theo takes a long brunette wig w a braid down the back
Cel wants to pretend to be adam's child
Gets a curly dark hair wig
Hammer pants
Cel theo and adam all have freckles
It's nighttime springtime in waterdeep; it's raining
Trades ward going to find a hotel
Avoid own houses for awhile
Going to nearest inn
Let's go to the yawning portal
It is an inn not just a bar
Typ is in fact in the trades ward
One room as the father and two daughters and one room as lesbian elves
Durnan's downstairs and is friends w mirt
We head over to typ
This ward is busier than others we've seen at this time of night
Walk over to side entrance of typ
It never shuts down; always ppl here
Familiar warmth as we approach
Bard competition
Ppl placing bets, drinking, sitting in booths
The rooms r upstairs
Adam calls himself lysander
"a room for me and my daughters"
They get a room on the third story
Room on the third floor
We rendezvous in adam's room
We hear a scream echo out from the well
Adam has two plans
One includes his pants
The pants plan is we track down the dude w the pants
Second includes him singing, waiting to get mugged by the zants
Get mercenary help ?
Pants is plan c
Durnan is plan a
Cel is portia
Theo is lavinia
The doors lock
Long rest? Long rest maybe later
Adam and cel go up to one of the goliaths
"hey there big friend"
He looks like a well-read person
Takes out honey and asks him if he knows what it is
O it's honey
"well there r means of finding this out . For a price"
How much per item - FIVE GOLD
Adam hands him 10 gold and the big rod
"this is a jar of ointment that was first created by the wizard kyogton" I have no idea what that wizard's name is but that's what it sounded like
A dose can be swallowed or applied to the skin and in addition to healing and rejuvenating health, any poison or disease it may have is instantaneously cured
Can't tell how many doses in it
It's v expensive, v rare
Now the stick and he looks uber interested in it
"hm , where did you find this"
"my dad's attic ,,, he's a hoarder"
"let's make a deception check with a capital d"
Nat 1
Adam tells this guy the whole thing and the guy nods
"this is a valuable piece . Would you be interested in parting with it"
Cloud giants made them so their servants could help them build their castles
It's an immovable rod
Writing speaks of ancient cloud giants that were war-inclined
Flat button on the end of it
He sticks it out into the air and presses the button; when he takes his hand away, the rod doesn't fall and it stays floating in the air
Adam grabs onto it but he can't move it
Anybody can push the button tho
Adam asks what the goliath is offering
Offers us 5,000 gold
Adam gets his name - woetheir ????
Woetheir frequents typ when he's here
They're going on a quest; were asked by the open lord to complete a task on the isle of chault
Adam's gonna go to bed
Cel's gonna take a bath
We take long rest
Durnan time
Adam gives durnan a quick rundown of what happened
"ayo what's poppin durnan long time no see my guy"
It's morning it's 9ish breakfast time
Doesn't give any indication whether or not he recognizes them
Adam asks for scrambled eggs and bacon
Adam's asking if he knows anything abt the xants
Theo asks durnan if there's somewhere more secluded they can talk
Gestures to one of the booths and theo cel adam go over
They're uh . Telling durnan everything p much
He has look of passive disinterest but slightly less disinterest the more of the story they tell
"how is mirt?"
"he has renaer and floon"
"he's let himself go"
The xants r v powerful; leadership inscrutable even to open lord herself
Prior, durnan didn't care abt open lord
Guesses whoever obtains the stone would b hunted by the city which could b problematic
Half a million gold dragons
Could get help outside the city ? Roots go deep but do not extend outwards
Flee or contact city officials
"I think theo has a crush on him" adam, 2020
Stone is likely being taken or was already taken to guild hq
We could bust into hq but probs bad idea
Durnan says he's sure anyone could break into xants hq
Lmao durnan sounds so weighed down by life
Every now and then he looks over to well
Durnan is basically saying friendship is magic
The xants don't often come to typ and don't draw swords there
They fear it and durnan
"what's the hole?" adam rolls for insight, dirty 20
Odd expression comes across durnan's face
Mixture of disgust and longing
Uh ā¦ disgust and longing ā¦ for a hole? Ok durnan
We don't have to talk abt that I guess
Cel asks durnan to send a message to mirt to let him know we're safe but probs not gonna see him for awhile
Apparently the xants aren't too particular abt their henchmen
He says ask the barkeep abt it
Passive perception
At some point durnan leaves and right as theo says that we hear a loud thump and someone says "cripes"
Jones ?
Cel looks under the table and there's jones
Cel drags him out
Theo has a new idea "hey guys let's not go through with using adam as bait yet"
Adam looks down at the goblin and threatens to make him deaf
Plan d is to eat jones
We take jones upstairs
Theo explains her new plan
If the stone is already at their hq
We go to them
Jones doesn't mess w the xants
Why is jones rhyming
What r we talking abt lmao oops I was looking at primary results
I'M SCREAMING I DIDN'T KNOW GOODSPACEGUY WAS 81
No one has asked us for info abt the stone ?
Lmao is this like @me abt what's his name
Jb nevercaught ???? Jp nevercaught ?????? Idk who he is
What's our goal
We gotta figure out what we wanna do ig
We just wanna know where the xants r otherwise we duct tape his mouth and tie him up
"consider it stroked and very, very much needed" jones, 2020
To the dock ward in a wrecked whale oh the wrecked whale
"not the erect whale" cel, 2020 ????
There's a knock at the door
There's no peephole
Asyna asks "who is it"
HAHAHHAHAHA
MARGUERITE LMAO
"uh I work at the bar downstairs uh durnan had some - he wanted to speak to the drow"
I'm screwed
He has page hat on
"first durnan said we could stay as long as we'd like"
And he was offered money by this guy to speak to me
There's an elven man w v long and stringy hair, pointed nose and pointy ears
Looks rlly skinny and physically weak
Looking over scrolls
"guess who"
What the fuck
Nareel ??? naREEL????? WHO THE FUCK IS NAREEL???????
I don't kNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING !!!!!!
The stone fascinates him
Offering us partial membership
Occasional encouragement to go on various missions
He has resources
Treasure and gold involved, but not for the weak-willed
Offering 500 gold for completion of a task
They have captured a high-ranking member of the xants and tried to get info of him
More resilient than they thought he would be
They need him back in three days
Is this a roast session ???? Of aerana ???? When she dips to hang out with the other guy ???????
They're trying to figure out who her friend is
Jones wanted to be a painter
Adam is offering to have jones join us to maybe kill him??????
If he wants gold he has to go get it
They'll keep
"I'm gonna fill your goody bag real good so you better keep your mouth shut" adam, 2020 to jones
Oh god I'm such an avoidant lmao
Oh god I don't
"these conversations will become more difficult as things become more difficult but I think for now that went as well as it could have possibly gone"
"you will find him in your basement"
wHICH BASEMENT
We're gonna go home
To the north ward we go
You go to the basement
The ropes look kinda weird
He's not tied with rope
They're metal bands looped around him
Metal bindings
Doesn't look like he's gonna get out of it
Adam and cel don't see anything out of the ordinary but have noticed things moved around a little bit
Dwarf w dark brown skin, white/gray beard, looks roughed up - not injured, just worse for wear
Adam has him make a wisdom saving throw
Adam charms him
Approaches him first
Adam starts massaging his shoulders
Jfdkaslfha then takes the gag off
"are you here to let me out?" the dwarf
"even better I'm here to spend some quality time with you" adam, 2020
Says he has to get back to the master
Master silgar must be fed
His sacred duty is to feed master silgar
Master silgar has a shimmering son what
"Shakes the oceans with a swish of his body"
In the beginning there was xanathar and then he said silgar should be the one they care for until the seas rise and destroy the city
Controls the eye of the xanathar as the eye of the xanathar control him
His name is ot stillgeer
Adam says his name is cain
Blasphemy for adam to propose bringing lord silgar to him
Lord silgar lives in a great temple
He's the high priest of silgar
We're telling him it's our summer home
Adam winks at everyone and we go upstairs
Adam casts second-level sleep on him
44hp puts him to sleep
Adam is gonna disguise-self a beard when the dwarf next wakes up
Stage it so it looks like he had been there for a month
Everyone changes their clothes
Tally marks on the wall
It's like late afternoon at this time
Adam tells him he woke up after 79 days, rolls for deception
Rolls a 24
Looks over and says "79 days"
"am I dead"
"no but the xanathar want you dead"
"I'm free"
23 for deception
Lord silgar is a fish? A fish ? A goldfish
Lord xanathar loves his goldfish more than anything
Ot has to replace the fish
19 mans is telling the truth
Not really any sign we're being watched when cel rolls for perception
We watch ot, take turns resting and surveilling our own house
Night comes
When asyna is on watch in the tower
Sees figures start making way across street to our house
6 humanoids start trying to break into the house
Glass shatters as one goes through a window
The tapestry was lord silgar
The goldfish has no connection to the koi fish asyna spoke to
Two objectives?
Find the stone
Or control the xanathar w a fish
The stone is a map to half a million gold

Weird thing
So I turn 18 on Friday the 13th of this year (2019) (it is currently 10:48pm 9/11/19)and I thought it would be interesting to look back at what my first posts were and I think I was like 12 or 13 when I first got tumblr (whoops I know I lied abt my age then Iām sorry tumblr) but like looking through my old posts was such an odd time capsule esque experience and the girl I was then is probably so happy about the woman I have become because I look back and I see how sad and lonely and just all around miserable but there would be things like music that cheered me up or Bryan stars interviews would make me happy when I was 12 and before he was exposed for being a human piece of garbage. And like I know no ones gonna see this but I felt like I needed to add another thing to my time capsule. Thanks guys

1-5 and 20-25 :-) sorry for all of them hehehe ā š¤ also iām getting off work I WILL SEND U ANOTHER ASK HEHEHEH
oaiwenfoia youāre sooo c*te perhaps iāll d*eā¦ā¦ā¦. hmā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ anyway;; thank you angel (sorry it took me so long to do this ;; ___ ;;)
also this got mad long so iāll put it under a cut!Ā
1. how did you get into graphics / gif making?
i was an earlyĀ āthe vampsā andĀ ā5sosā fan and because of that, i used to make lil graphic type things?? i guess?? like i tried to make stuff like the ones i saw online omgā¦ and mine were soooo bad but it was like so fun and i used to use this online editor and it was trash but like i would have so much funā¦ (and that was back when i was in grade 7-ish..? so i wouldāve been like jfjfiwaoefo 12/13) and then i just kept doing it;; eventually in grade 10 i took a graphic design course and i got a hold of photoshop and it blew my mind and from there i just kept kindaā¦ doing it??Ā
and with gifs omgā¦ ok i swore i would never make gifs cause it looks SO complicated like bitch ill kill u what do u mean layers to frames wtf !!!!!!!!!!!! and then when i was in my first year of uni in around june i was likeā¦ omg i wanna try againā¦ cause iād tried it before and my ps just crashedā¦ so i was like let me give this another go.. and i didā¦ and it worked.. and my mind was like blown omgā¦ i was in AWEā¦ omg i just realized its been a whole year since i learned how to gif stop ill dieĀ
gfx/gif questions
2. do you do something creative/related āirlā as well?
well!! i just got into college for graphic deisgn hehe;; so iām hoping that thatāll be my future :ā)Ā
3. who/what inspires your graphics / gifs?
hm, well!! whenever i see really great pieces of gfx or even in real life when i see a magazine piece or a billboard that just looks stunning i feel inspired!! and iām like eugh i wanna try making smth like that ;; also music and movies and games inspire me sometimes?? but if i was to say who!! then itād probably be all my amazing content creating mutuals!!! their work is always wowing!! i always tag ppls gfx withĀ āgfx inspoā bc im genuine :0 when i see it ;; ___ ;; like how is everyone so creative and talented;;Ā
4. what do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?
oh wow, mmā¦ it allows me to be creative? and put to use skills that i think arenāt always appreciated? like my p*rents never take me doing graphic design seriously;; but then recently my mom wanted me to make a lil label for her for a friendās garden and i did and she was like !!!!!! so happy abt it i was like TT TT cause both my parents were finally like ok i get it sorta;; i really like that iām able to make smth kinda outta nothing?? like art is really interesting bc you get to let your thoughts and experiences affect the outcome of your work so?? like.. i like that everyone has a different style??Ā
and for gifs;; i really enjoy that its such a structured task likeā¦ its very.. orderly and routine based?? like i know what iām doing everytime?? and the places where i get to change it up are like the colourings and the style of set i make and that makes it fun and creative too;;Ā
5. what do you dislike most about making graphics / gifs?
mm the creativity block;; i feel like sometimes i cannot think of ANYTHING to make and those days i feel kinda useless as a ccā¦ā¦ it sucks but foiawnefiawn eventually iāll figure smth out if i move things around enough fajwefowaeoĀ
and giffing omgā¦ā¦ idkā¦ probably the colouring processā¦ā¦ but thats majorly because my laptopās screen displays colours kinda whack from how they actually look and so i have to do 2x the work to make sure it looks good and smdays its like idc anymore just post the set and pull the triggerĀ
20. your favourite fandom(s) to make graphics / gifs for?
for gfx itās definitely stray kids!!! they have some of the most fun lyrics to work with and their concepts always always inspire me like crazy!!!Ā
for gifs its the tmg fandom! everyone in that fandom is suuuper nice and supportive and like;; even if iām not always making gifs i dont feel like iām falling behind or ? like ppl will be mad or smth ? like its a safe small community and bc of that it feels so good ;;;Ā
21. how much time do you spend on a single graphic / gif?
very dependent! gfx can take from like an hour to like a week+?? it just depends on how intense and intricate it is ig;;Ā
gifs are shorter;; probably take me a few hours?? the longest a set has taken me is maybe like 6 hours but thatās bc i was being slow about it and trying to find all the necessary parts! but on average itll take abt half an hour to maybe two for one set
21. what is your biggest improvement since you started making graphics and or gifs?
ogoaiweniogaw stop this is so funny.. i wanna go find my old wattpad covers so you can all cringe with me butā¦ mm, with gfx i guess i learned what my Aestheticā¢ was and what i really liked and like fjjfaiosdksfd i learned how to use photoshop which is a big thing lmaooooā¦ā¦ā¦ and with gifs!! definitely my quality (shout out to vapoursynth) and my colouring :ā)Ā
23. what is your biggest improvement in the past month?
hmā¦ time management jfaiweoofiaw iāve definitely gotten wayyy faster at giffing and i really do not take as much time anymore;; which gives me some peace of mind lmaoĀ
24. what is something that youāre wanting to learn right now?
illustrator! iāve been fooling around with it a lot recently;; and even one of the pieces i submitted in my portfolio was smth i made on illustrator heh;; but theres a huge learning curve (like btich what is the pen tool ill kill u) fnaoiefiownf so i wanna get lots better with it ;;Ā
25. what would you like to see others learn how to do?
this is an interesting question;; mm i guess everyone is different?? so idk if i can answer this question cause i think everyoneās style requires them to learn in their own ways?? so idrk ;; i guess something to make certain peopleās lives easier would be like LEARN KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS !!! that shit saaaves my life like idk man it cuts down on my time for sure;;Ā

Q&A post with the Mods!!!!
This is going to be a long one oh boy
How strict is the delineation of creative control vis-a-vis characters/plays between the mods? (@pedanticlecturer)
We generally have the plays split up along lines of āwhat we knowāā we have a list at the very beginning of the blog. Sometimes weāll draw the othersā characters (mostly me drawing some of Starāsā¦) but even then the final say on characterization is up to the āmainā mod for that play ā mod aster
what aster said -- mod star
What is your favorite play? What is your favorite character in terms of how they were written in the source material? (@pedanticlecturer)
I think my favorite play overall is Macbeth, just because I like the vibes (and the fact that I too could kill Macbeth), the fact that you donāt say itās name in theatres, and the fact that itās a play I did a full read through and analysis of in class. Favorite character? Puck from Midsummer. ā mod aster
uhhhh,, hmm. ive always had a soft spot for midsummer since i saw it with aster esp bc of how fun the costumes were. of the comedies it has the largest potential to be the most visually pleasing bc of the concept of fairies,,,and im gay and dramatic so i love that. id die if i got to costume design for midsummer,,,or be in it,,,yeah. fav character. hmm. probably mercutio?? i recently saw a version of romeo and juliet where mercutio was played by a woman and oh my god it was amazing!!! not to mention mercutioās portrayal in baz luhrmann's INCREDIBLE version of r n j!!! (I based my mercutio design on him) he just spends the entire time making dick jokes. love that. -- mod star
How do you answer asks so fast? I mean it's great but I'm impressed š (Anon)
Personally, itās a mix of: notifications on, quick drawing speed, and using the blog to avoid my class work ā mod aster
aster is fast and (as you can see from all of my answers) im lazey -- mod star
Are there any elements/characters of the plays you're covering that you would have liked to work into this blog's plot, but couldn't due to the constraints of the setting or the synthetic nature of the blog? (@pedanticlecturer)
I wanted to make everyone gay but unfortunately due to plot constraints we have to have some hets but that wont stop me from making it lgbt as possible. -- mod star
I did want to make The Tempest more of a central play, but it just didnāt translate well. Similarly, other supernatural elements like the witches in Macbeth. This isnāt so much a constraint mentioned, but my own time/energy means that I want to show the Macbeth backstory, in a specific format, but I canāt right nowā mod aster
Is there a hierarchy of import when it comes to each play's individualized impact on shakespeare high's general arc? If so, what plays are crucial to the foundation of the story? Which ones did you do mostly for shits and giggles? (@pedanticlecturer)
This is phrased like an ACT question and i might not answer it right so sorry in advance but: mod aster and i only selected a few plays for each of us to do given we dont know all of shakespeareās works, but we tend to put more emphasis on the the more well known. But it also comes down to 1. How much we have plotted out for each play and 2. What the followers ask about most. Our two most popular are hamlet and macbeth bc people are familiar w those but around march caesar always becomes relevant again. I didnt even have designs for some of the characters until someone asked about them. -- mod star
I would say the same as starā it generally comes down to what people ask about. I will say that the overall plot is sort of separated into āhas happenedā and āis happeningā. Like, the human potion of Midsummer, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth are all in the āaftermathā portion, while Twelfth Night, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet, among others, are happening. Weāre trying to incorporate as much as we can, and I donāt think any of them were really put in without some thought.ā mod aster
What personal significance does shakespeare hold in ur guys' lives? (@pedanticlecturer)
I go to a theater school rn and so ive dealt w shakespeare (although not all of them) it also helps that i was in loves labours lost last year as moth and that i read hamlet and r n j. Theres also a theater in my state that always does One Big Shakespeare per season and they always do them super well!!! My love for shakespeare probably started w seeing midsummer at that theater w mod aster!!! So. Theater kid rights!! -- mod star
To be honest, I got back into Shakespeare Because of the blog. Iāve been friends with some people that got really Pretentious about Shakespeare, and it kinda put me off of it. I did have a book of abridged plays (the playsā plots written out in prose, basically) that I read as a kid, which is what got me into not only the plots of a lot of the plays, but also the idea of having them illustrated. And, same as star, the theater in state does the One Big Shakespeareā and they tend to do some really cool things with the costumes, setting them in diff time periods. I havenāt been able to see any lately since Iāve moved, but they still slap. ā mod aster
š„°ššš„°š„°ššš„°I šššššLOVEš¤š¤ YALL ā„ļøā„ļøš§”šššā£ļøšššššššā¤ļøšš okay now i have a question i swearā how long have the two of you been doing art??? and what were your first shakespeare plays??? (@hellaghosts)
Uhh i started drawing when i was like idk 12 and i have the giant boxes of sketchbooks to prove it!!! I moved to digital art at abt 14-15 but mostly stayed traditional until this yr when i got a Neat New Tablet so some of my sketchbooks are sitting abandoned rip. My first shakespeare was either romeo and juliet or midsummer nights dream and i love both of them v much!!! I have a very old piece of art that i did for r n j for my freshman class assignment on it and it hasnt aged well alsdjfjafd circa 2016 i think??? -- mod star
Oh man. I started drawing when I was about 10, but it was Bad. I donāt think I got much into drawing again until I was about 14? Sometime around the end of middle school/beginning of high school. I would say I started getting into drawing as more than doodling/coloring edits sometime around 2015-16? I would draw on my iPad with my finger, then I got a tablet for my computer, and now I pretty much stick to my iPad with an Apple Pencil. My first Shakespeare play wasā¦.. uhā¦ā¦ probably Midsummer???? I have No idea. We would go to plays when I was little, so I honestly donāt remember if I saw others before. It may have been Romeo and Julietā I had that book where it was the original and the āmodernizedā with the little dog that explained thingsā which, if you know it makes sense, but if you donāt is probably a bonkers answer. ā mod aster
Do you think this blog has like? An overarching thesis (be it b/c intentionally or simply b/c ur own take on the world has bled thru to the point where u believe itās central to the piece at this point)? (@pedanticlecturer)
Not gonna lie, I had to read that like three times AND dm you to figure out what you were asking from us and all I have is ābe gay, respect women, write your own happy endingsā. ā mod aster
This blog started with an ides of march shitpost and you think we have enough brain energy to write a whole thesis? I projected feelings of found family onto my half of the blog but idk if that counts. Be gay do crime 420 69 -- mod star
Whatās the nature/rough dynamic of ur relationship? How do yāall know each other? (@pedanticlecturer)
Met mod aster when i was like 4 and even tho we didnt live close we became like, best friends although the Best part didnt start until we were like 13-ish and eventually we talked like non stop (about anime and homestuck. Yknow. 13 year old kid things) and we didnt see each other a lot bc of Distance and now its even worse bc aster is in colleg.,e but we consider each other siblings regardless of family bc weāre adopted into our own respective families so that bled over into our friendship and it would feel weird calling him anything other than my brother now. Weāve seen each other at our best and worst and if you really want a good insight on what weāre like as siblings watch griffin and justin mcelroyās overview video of catlateral damage wherein i am griffin and he is the long suffering justin. -- mod star
Star is basically my long distance sibling and functionally the only cousin I recognize bc like their parents are basically an aunt and uncle and like our dads look enough alike that weāve both accidentally gotten the wrong dad for a hug or similar so like. Anyways yeah Star is the Griffin to my Justin, complete with our absent middle brother who we love dearlyā mod aster
Dubiously relevant q but what kind of music do yāall listen to when u do art (if that is indeed a habit either of u partake in) (@pedanticlecturer)
It can depend on the piece? I was working on some (unrelated) oc prints that were song-focused, and for those I just listened to said song on loop. Sometimes I have playlists. Sometimes Iāll just be in a Mood and throw a song on loop. But a lot of time for the blog, Iāll listen to The Adventure Zone for the billionth time, because I have Too Much Attention. Iāve also, on request from Star, linked the most recent āloop songā.ā mod aster
I tend to obsess over the same like 3 songs every few weeks so those get listened to on repeat but it also depends on the tone of what im drawing or who im drawing i might genre switch bc of that. If im drawing ophelia i stick to lana del rey and if im drawing hamlet its the neighborhood, horatio is sufjan stevens etc. i have categorized,. Most of the characters i draw into different songs/genres/energies of music but not like i ever follow that. Sometimes i just pull up a really long nonsense video and forget to draw. Essentially: ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ -- mod star
Howād yāall come up with ur pseudonyms? (@pedanticlecturer)
I love space so much and my main blog is starryeydsailor space gay rights!! Im also tiny and full of energy and bright so basically i;m star -- mod star
Uhhhh i was like āhey i want to do uhhhhhh flower?ā And then I google searched flower names until I found one I liked ā- mod aster
How did you end up deciding the rough timeline of events in canon? (@pedanticlecturer)
Itās mostly determined by like. How we choose per story? If that makes sense. Like, we just take story by story, and decide āis it happening, has it happened, and when?ā And then we fit them together in relation to each other just by dint of. All existing at once. Like, I knew I wanted Macbeth to be in aftermath, because like, even though thereās no murder, the way Iāve translated it to the AU is still kinda heavy, and itās something that I donāt know that I could do properly if it were happening right now. Also, itās more interesting IMO to have them at different times. Tl;dr we wing it per story and slot them togetherā mod aster (mod star agrees I just can word better, in theory)
If you could tell the story of shakespeare high in a different format than an ask blog, would you? Obviously y'all are making very good use of the format, but would you want to write this as a animated series or like? a comic book? or is the form inseparable from the story? (@pedanticlecturer)
I kinda wanted to do a webcomic or maybe to plot develop through like, animatics but the element of surprise comes from the asks we get and really makes us think so the blog is a good start. We didnt think weād get this far -- mod star
Pretty much what Star saidā there are certain elements where itād be neat to do as a comic or as an animatic. Like, the fantasy dream is like, an anthology webcomic of each story, where you can like, see other characters in the background and stuff. But to be honest, we develop a lot by what weāre askedā there was a post about developing worldbuilding by being asked questions and then pretending youāve thought about the answer, and itās not far off. Personally, itās hard to just lay out a story, because I have a whole WORLD and whatās relevant? What are people interested in? Itās by getting questions that I can then focus in on an area to develop. And yeah, we Super didnāt think weād get this far lmao ā mod aster
Any headcanons about your characters that you don't think will ever come up on the blog through asks or plot posts? (@pedanticlecturer)
I could make a whole separate post for this!!!!! Mostly its voice headcanons (and by mostly i mean like 1 or 2) or relationship hcs!!!! -- mod star
Honestly same. I donāt think I have voice headcanons for mine, though I bet I could find some. Iāve got a bunch of miscellaneous headcanons that just kinda float around, but like theyāre scattered, too numerous for this post, and also not always things Iām sure are canon yet.ā mod aster
