I saw people headcanon Norton as fat. I'm wondering what you think about it.

I see where everyone is coming from with head-canoning him as fat.

I like to think that throughout his life he learned to view food as a necessity rather than something to enjoy and have fun with, so when after the main story events he realized what he missed out upon, he'd slowly start to eat more and more and thus gain weight.

I doubt it'll be a lot of fat because even if he gets his money through playing the games and won't have a reason to work or have a job, he'll still have some kind of hobby alongside his poem writing one. Like I said a dozen times before, I think he'd have his own small farm with animals and crops, and taking care of that takes a lot of movement and burns fat.

That said, this counts only post-main story events. Before that, there's not a trace of fat on this man. He is malnourished. In his introduction video, he's literally smaller and weaker than the other miners because he never had the food to grow to his size. It's also mentioned that he ate dried-up, coal-smeared bread.

After the main story? Yes, he defeatedly gained weight. Before the main story? No, there's nothing to gain weight with.

[00r3n00]

I doubt they know that smoking kills.

[00r3n00]

Yeah I'm not finishing this 😞

[00r3n00]

Oh my gosh!! I just came from reading your Found in the Past fic and GOSH. So many words and not enough characters to say it all. I wanna start off by saying this concept is SO creative to use here. I know isekai/time travel isn’t some insane or ground breaking new concept but your execution of it is so delightful and imaginative I can hardly contain my excitement over it. Most stories like this will have the main character as some mastermind, some insanely talented planner, or even simply someone who is so unreasonably kind and delicate that just has good things fall onto their lap. I want to let you know that seeing your characterization for the MC here (can I call her Miss Nathaniel?) is SO delightful.

She has a clear personality, logical thought process, and isn’t someone who becomes impossible to relate with. Shes a normal girl. She knows a basic amount about history and geography. She is kind but doesn’t diminish herself or what she wants. It will be interesting to see her navigate the delicate politics of upper class society, as even if mentally she is gearing herself towards something else, she does have a role to play if she wants to keep the stability she has over her life. Im sooo incredibly excited to see what you do with that. Can I also note that I like how you’re handling her dynamic with Marisol? I so rarely see authors treat female characters with any regard or respect in the x reader genre, I’m just so pleased that Marisol is her own woman. I really wanna see how her dynamic with Miss Nathanial develops. Considering the time period there is such an opportunity for womanly companionship and understanding that I really think Miss Nathanial is going to need as the limitations of her gender hit her further along the line

And!!! I just have so many questions!! Is this an Isekai where Miss Nathanial played IDV and will recognize Norton and connect the dots? Or is this truly just time travel and she is making all her own decisions with what she knows about history? She is college educated, so I imagine she has strong opinions about women having the opportunity for education— or anyone for that matter. What role will this play in her story? Does her degree from her previous life have any significance to her current knowledge and decisions? A history major certainly would, or even a science major. There’s just so many factors and routes you could take I am shaking with envy at your creative freedom and potential!! I know these are all questions that will inevitably be answered by the narration but gosh I can hardly contain myself.

I’m even further interested to see how she will handle the time period’s misogyny, classism, and potentially even racism. Considering the direction the fic will presumably take with grappling poverty, as well as the location, she’s going to run into it eventually. Unfortunately the issues were not mutually exclusive, and I’m just so invested to see how her modern beliefs will clash with the time period, and how she is going to overcome those challenges. Ahhh you have so much to work with I just can’t!! What a wonderful concept and topic to tackle!!! I am so excited to read more.

And then!! The role Norton will play in it all! Gosh! Man I am so freaking excited I don’t even have the words. Your characterization of him is fantastic from what I’ve seen in your headcanons and blurbs. You stay so true to his character and I have no doubt this fic will be a reflection of that delicate and dedicated treatment. Seeing Norton’s own reaction to Miss Nathanial’s modern ideals and morals, as well as the very contrasting nature of her personality and position is just!! So!! Damn!! Exciting!!

If for any reason you need anyone to bounce ideas off of, or to needle time period logistics, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am so gosh darn invested in this already, and would be delighted to help in any way possible with your exploration of this fic. You deserve a medal for how brilliant it was to tie this troupe to this type of story and character. Anyways, I just wanted to leave my thoughts here, I have so many more but I will spare you LMFAO

OMG THANK YOU 😭 You have no idea how badly I'm grinning right now.. got me all fuzzy and stuff :D

But you're so right, there's so much I have to tackle on it's insane. I went into this story expecting something short but then I thought of it and omg the things that I need to write about.. sexism, classism and racism. I'll definitely include religion and patriarchy into the mix as well. So much, pray for me to have the vocabulary and mental capability to unpack it all and do it justice.

And then speaking of Y/N, I'm genuinely trying to make her as vague as possible while keeping her a believable character. The readers are supposed to be able to imagine themselves in the story after all. But keeping her a blank slate I cannot do either.. She needs to be basic, and a normal person doesn't know all about the history and geography, but does know a bit to get around so I'll use that in my advantage.

Also, I was too wondering about her college degree and after some thinking I decided that being a history major is too much of an easy path to take, so I landed on physiology of religion study instead. It would explain the strong emotions she has about the situation around her.. that's not a spoiler, just a little fact.

And I'm literally basing her off of my friends and me. If it'd have been just me, she would've panicked and jumped out of the window or something.

Marisol, my sweet dear. I love her so much. The story that I have for her.. I'm so excited to write about it. I love that woman. I even drew her because of it, she's such a sweetheart.

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON NORTON!! I'm so excited to write about him, yall have no idea. I am planning to finally introduce him at the end of the third chapter and I'm shaking in my boots from the anticipation of it. It'll feel like a celebrity randomly showing on a Disney show or something. I also looked over the affection system and made notes on how he talks to make him also a believable character. I'm writing as fast as possible to get to him I swear.

And ugh, Norton marrying into money? Doesn't that sound like he's a princess?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LOVE STORY AAAAHHHH

And I'm so happy someone is so passionate about my fanfic, even though we're like two chapters in. You really motivated me into writing faster, so perhaps the third chapter is going to come out soon (but omg I've still so much to write about.. I only finished the first two points). You made my day with this and I'll be rereading what you've sent to motivate me into typing faster :)

I do sometimes struggle with the history of Pittsburgh in the 1900s, so I actually might reach out if you're oke with it. I didn't think I'd have to fact check and look so much into history to write this..

[00r3n00]

how do you write your chapter. I want to write a fanfic too but I don't know how people do it.

First I write down everything that needs to happen in the chapter on my whiteboard. For my third chapter I have ten points, ten things that need to happen. When I'm done with one of them, I erase the point just not to get confused.

Usually what I write is the "first draft". I throw words together, no matter how little sense they make and how ugly they sound. You just need to have the story out on the page, you can make it pretty later. This part I hate the most, because seeing how bad it is written makes me self-conscious but I have to push through because I know I'll tidy it up later.

I have to write at least a thousand word each day. Usually I write more because I'm sitting comfortably and the story is just flowing through my finger tips, but a thousand words is still the goal.

After I've written the whole chapter, I go over it and rewrite the whole thing. I add things I missed the last time, use better wording and give a better flow to it. This is actually the fun part because all the big thinking has been done, now you just add the little things that make the chapter fun to read.

Then I put each paragraph through a grammar checking site. I use the old ones because I'm afraid of the new ones, being that they use generative AI. I know there's a difference between just AI and Generative AI, but eitherway I'm cautious so just use the old ones.

Then I let the chapter sit for a day and I do not touch nor think of if, so that after a few hours I can look at it with an naked eyes. This is where I also edited a few stuff. Add or remove and fix the wording.

And then I press post :D

I have a similar version for when I wrote my book, but there I wrote three drafts and so on. I don't think my method is anything special, if I had to guess I'd say basically everyone does this. But it is very easy to do and get used to :D

which norton is the nicest norton

I'm not properly educated on all Norton's out there so I might be wrong, but perhaps Summer Frisbee?

He's described as a golden boy for one. For two, the man is exactly where he wants to be. He's at a beach, under the clear sky and beautiful sun. He's not stressed out about anything and instead he's literally on a vacation (never ending too, depending on the ending). He's also described as passionate, cheerful, relaxed and energetic. His inner good side is shining to the fullest, I think.

ALSO, he made a friend! Ganji over here is his buddy and let's be honest, what other Norton would casually make a friend? Surely not Ronald of Nice, Dazzling Lone Wolf or Bird of Prey.

Overall, think of normal Norton but under zero pressure and on a great summer vacation. He's relaxed and thus easier to approach and talk to and he's less likely to get moody. He's tanning under some good sun while drinking something fresh, ain't no way he's getting pissed easily under these circumstances.

I've been summoned

[00r3n00]

No but I just had to draw the Ladies Maid from my Married Into Money Norton AU.

[00r3n00]

I think Norton would be jealous and quite frustrated if he saw his crush or s/o dance with someone else.

But. Do you think he'd act on it? Do something like get in between you two obviously or "on accident" (still obviously if you've been watching him for a while).

Omg you guys have no idea how much I love this type of scenario.

What a hypocrite he is for not inviting you for a dance — maybe even straight up refusing to do so — and then getting mad at another person for shooting their shot with you. He doesn't want to act on his feelings for many reasons but neither can he make peace with you getting pursued by another.

He would fight tooth and nail to just keep his eyes away from you and your dance partner but oh when was he ever in control of anything in his life? He looks grim on a daily basis but here he's actually deeply displeased and it's evident, but I guess from outside prespective one wouldn't know at what he's so mad at. Could be the music or the amount of people around.. or this one person enjoying themselves way too much in your company.

He'd also get pissed at the dance itself because why does it include being so damn close to one another? Is all that touching and holding really that necessary? What about any other kind of dance with no touching and no close proximity and honestly no dance partners at all? That sounds much more fun if you ask him.

Eitherway, the chance of him intervening is low since he doesn't want to make a scene nor a fool of himself, but maybe there'd some things that would cause him to stand up and get in between you two. Like your dance partner getting too handsy with you. Y'know how the leader's hand is supposed to stay at follower's waist? Yeah well imagine that going lower. Would set Norton right off.

Now, I'm not so sure what he would do.. Normally he wouldn't do anything, but because your dance partner crossed a line he didn't know he even placed, he stood up and is making his way towards you two so it's not like he can just turn around and leave..

Maybe he'd ask for a moment of your time cause he apparently has something important to discuss, whatever that can be. Like, he'd ask in the middle of the dance. He's rather polite with you for he wants to steal you away which wouldn't work if he was rude with it, but your dance partner is getting all the slack. God forbid they open their mouth in protest. Eitherway, it'd be still rather difficult to get you to go with him cause you've known him for long enough to be able tell that he has actually has nothing to discuss.

And then he'd feel a bit embarrassed for his actions.. but at least now he has your attention, right?

[00r3n00]

Y'all have no idea how much fun I'm having writing my isekaid reader x norton fanfic
