!!!PINNED POST!!!

I'm arianon and I like writing fanfiction sometimes. I don't think you'd find this account any other way but through my AO3 account, but if you somehow stumbled upon me, hi!!

I mostly only reblog HC/Traffic SMP fanart, fanfiction or posts here, but every now and again some of my other interests/inspirations might sneak in :-)

I always like receiving asks, so send away if you want to talk about my works! I love talking about them and taking any excuse to do so!!

[ari--anon]

I just finished iawwc, and it was amazing!! Loved it so very much, and the plot was amazing. I do have a question about Grians pronouns in the story. I apologize if you have answered this in the story or in a ask me anything already, but I noticed scar still called Grian by she/her after he let up the Ariana act, but Mumbo always called him by he/him. I just wonder if Grian ever told scar he was a man, and scar kept calling him she/her, or if scar still believes he’s a woman.

Hi, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :D

I answered the question in another ask !

[ari--anon]

Hiii, I love your fics and writing so much. I saw that you aren't planning on finishing your fics which is totally okay and understandable!! I was wondering if it'd be okay to ask what your general ideas/plans for the endings of Red Sky Mourning and Cause I would Anyways (we'd end up like always) were? Totally okay if you don't want to share for any reason, either way your fics hold a special place in my heart and I'll reread them no matter what. :)) You're such an amazing author tho and you deserve the best.

Hii, it's totally okay, I will be writing a summary for both of these, it might just take a moment! I'll add what I write together in a reblog to this ask, hope that's okay! <3 Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed my fics even if they remain unfinished <333

(sorry if this shows up twice, airplane wifi is ass I had to rewrite this </3)

anyway hi !! I downloaded “I am weary with contending!” in preparation for this long plane ride I’m on, and 10 hours in I’ve binged the entire thing. your writing style is SO utterly captivating I simply could not put my phone down. your prose and descriptions were so lovely to read. I adored every moment of this fic, from reading the highs and lows of this throuple’s relationship woes, to the flashbacks and all the dramatic scenes in them as well. you portray the feelings of paranoia and loneliness soooo well, my heart felt wrenched during the entirety of scar’s arc (and grumbo’s as well with the original ariana). I’m so incredibly glad they got their happy ending after all, I hope they have only peace and happiness in the future of this au. this fic was SUCH a ride, your mind is so beautiful I cannot thank you for this fic enough :) <3

Hope your flight went well! I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for this nice ask <3333

[ari--anon]

would it be ok to make a web weave based off of one of your fics?

Omg yes of course!! If you do Tag me, I'd love to see it :-)

hi (this is anon from before) still thinking abt iawwc… was wondering abt some things—forgive me if these are things that have been answered before, or if i just missed it while reading :’)

was there a paritcular reason cub was so late to reading scar’s letters abt the first assassination attempt, or was he really just busy?

also, around the end, was there a particular meaning behind the razor that cub gave scar? like a connection to when he used it to break the glyph the first time?

thanks for this fic i truly love it <3

Hiii, no I don't think anyone has asked these questions before, I'd love to answer!!

1. its been a while but if i remember correctly... elves have a very weird relationship with time. Because they live so long (~500 years?) Time moves very quickly. So something like a month feels like a week for them. Cub was extremely busy and putting off reading it, but also, a lot more time passed than he thought.

Scar doesn't have this trait because he's a half-elf, and it's a hit or miss gene ig, so that was sort of the idea. For Cub, it wasn't that long since he sent it, and when he did read it, he was over there as fast as possible. When he got there, Scar was already over it.

2. There's a connection to breaking the glyph but Also, this was the first time Scar was going to be let out of this place since he was 10. iirc Cub didn't want to intrude, he wanted scar to figure himself out and see what he wanted to do, so the razor was just a means to defend himself, first of all, but I also saw it as a present for Scar finally growing up. You know when your older brother/dad teaches you how to shave for the first time bc you're all grown up. Something something that. It's been a year so I can't remember entirely, but this was my rough thought process!

You can ask as many questions as you'd like, I love answering them!!

hi!! too anxious to leave comments on ao3 lol so just wanted to drop it here cause i loved weary with contending sm

i don't normally read long fics (like, ever--i don't think ive ever finished anything longer than 100k words before) but Wow did this hook me in immediately from chapter 1, and i blew through it in 3 days lol. fantastic work, i really loved every bit--the perfect mix of romance, plot, and drama!! shout-out to ur depiction scar and cub as brothers cause im such a sucker for sibling relationships and i rlly loved their dynamic!!!

Hii thank you so much!!

3 days is super impressive omgosh 💪 writing cub and scar was super fun, I really really love sibling dynamics too!

I'm glad you liked it! <3

I finised "weary with contending" yesterday and dude it was so good. It was also so dense, your world building and descriptions were so rich and vivid, I love them so much. Absolutely fantastic job!

Are you planning on updating any of your other fics? I'm intrigued with them but I have about a hundred tabs of mostly abandoned unfinished works saved and I don't know if I can handle more unresolved emotional investment.

Ty for sharing your writing with us mere mortals🩵

hi, thank you so much!! I'm super glad you enjoyed it <33 Sadly i don't think I'll ever finish the other fics, while I still love love love hermitcraft I've shifted my attention to other stuff, I'm just incredibly happy that I finihsed iawwc before i lost motivation because its still my sweetheart forever </3

sorry to dissapoint anyone who was excited to see the other stuff finished ://

[trafficblrpositivityproject]

@ari--anon I first read "I am Weary With Contending!", "And Where They Sow, They Also Reap", and "Red Sky Morning" while I was deep in some social anxiety stuff. So despite how much I loved them I couldn't bring myself to leave a comment. All three of this fics are actually amazing! They are so well written and complex! I go insane over these fics!! And I really want to show appreciation now that I feel more comfortable talking!

@ari--anon !!!

[ari--anon]

i just want you to know even though i’ve been mostly out of the hermitcraft/life series fandom for like a year or so i still have been thinking about your fics in that whole time

Thank you flesh and guts I also think about flesh and guts a lot . What were we talking about

[ari--anon]

do you write books. if you write books can i purchase your books. if you dont write books can you write books please. i need to adapt your works to the big screen. i think we could make millions

You might have an idea on your hands.........

Hi, I’ve come by to ask a question I’m sure has already been answered but I had no idea where to look for the answer- in the fic *I am weary with contending*, what is the reasoning behind Grian’s pronouns? I noticed scar still uses she/her even after reveal

Hi, I answered this question on another ask :D

[trafficblrpositivityproject]

@ari--anon Omgggg their fics are AMAZING!! I love everything they come up with.

@ari--anon !!!

I find it funny how Grian (famously a "team killing traitor") is actually historically very loyal, meanwhile Martyn (famously "devoted to the death") is actually historically an absolute traitor. I could write an essay about the ironic parallels between these two, both in how they are in canon and how fanon perceives them.
