Apparently I’m Writing Now?

Set this up because I have a feeling I’m going to start spamming this subject and my queue is long enough. Header id: Ariel and Flounder from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” excitedly peer at a book with bubbles overlaid on the foreground./end id.

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

Fanfic writers, reblog if you’re okay with people sharing the links to your fics to their friends and/or for fic rec posts without having to ask for your permission first

(I saw a debate about whether or not it was okay for people to share fic links around without asking the authors first, since some authors may not be comfortable with the links to their fics being shared around on twitter or tumblr. so I thought this post could be a blanket permission for authors who were okay with the links to their fics being shared around!)

Nyx cares for the traitor glaives, one moment at a time. Maybe it will make a difference, maybe it won't. But Nyx isn't about to let anyone stop him. Sometimes being a hero is about the smallest acts.

Nyx Week Day 6! We're almost done!

To one day be a Jedi Knight.

Okay, so they were soulmates. But what did that actually mean for them?

Nyx and Cor carve out space to get to know each other after they've been matched. After all, sometimes love is spelled T-I-M-E, and they want to give it a real try.

💋☕

For Eliana

💋 — How they show affection

Eliana mainly demonstrates affection via teasing. She also has pretty strict walls, especially with her trainees. They know they’ve made it to a more even footing when she actually smiles at them, and starts inviting them to join in on the jokes. For the ones she’s closest to, she’ll let them be physically closest (outside of the contact needed for instruction, of course) - she’ll clap them on the shoulder or elbow them in the ribs, stand shoulder to shoulder, that sort of thing.

☕ — A small everyday detail about them

She carefully times cat-naps into her schedule so that she can terrify the recruits equally at all times of day. She also eavesdrops on the newest batch to learn new swears, and practices the ones she likes best under her breath until they become natural (usually in time for a new batch who won’t recognize where she got it!), though a fair percentage of her cursing comes from her own creativity.

Thanks for sending these! They were fun, even if I was slow to answer.

🎧🧸

For Amani

🎧 — A song that fits them

“Almost There” from Disney’s Princess and the Frog

I remember Daddy told me Fairytales can come true But you gotta make 'em happen It all depends on you So I work real hard each and every day Now things for sure are goin' my way Just doin' what I do Look out, boys, I'm comin' through

And I'm almost there I'm almost there People gon' come here from everywhere And I'm almost there I'm almost there

There's been trials and tribulations You know I've had my share But I've climbed a mountain, I've crossed a river And I'm almost there

Look, my life has been filled with kid movies lately because that’s what my nibling wants to watch, so you get a princess song. Amani is the embodiment of the ‘we’re gonna work our way through this problem, too’ attitude of the song. Her response to any crisis is to buckle down to find the most practical solution, and almost always to just work harder. Her dream is similar, too - not to make a restaurant (though she is a good cook), but to make a home, a real home where everyone comes together.

🧸 — How they comfort someone they love

Building off that practicality, Amani usually shows her love by taking care of people - running a bath, finding them a special treat, massages, distracting people from pain with outrageous stories she hears around the Citadel. She’s pretty good at blunt advice, too, but thankfully usually pretty good at judging when it’s not the right time for it. At least now that she’s older. Being a mom helped a lot with teaching her the value of just being there combined with solid physical contact, but the effected party will still usually find some sort of treat or chore completed for them the next day.

🎀🌙

For Helen

🎀 — Tell me a fact about them

She loves the aquarium down by the docks that only shows local sea life. She’s dragged most of her close friends there when she thinks they need some wonder or peace. But never in groups of more than three. Never again, at least.

🌙 — What they’re like at night

Helen is a night owl, and enjoys the relative quiet of the night to read or watch shows, or hang out with friends. Sometimes the other glaives drag her out into the Insomnian night life, but she doesn’t go out much on her own. On nights when she’s feeling especially restless, when she was living in the barracks, she would slip down into a practice room and run through drills until she felt centered again.

[awlwren-writes]

🛏️🙃

For Maria

🛏️ — How they act when they’re tired

The first sign that Maria is tired is that she starts getting snappy. Once she’s up past that stage, she starts talking (and thinking) slower and slower. If they’re in the field, and she really can’t rest or slow down, she starts alternating between the two. If she’s not in the field, that’s when she starts getting cuddly.

🙃 — A weird little habit they have

She loves to give things names - her weapons and gear, her computer, animals that they see more than once, people on the train she never actually talks to. Her good friends get used to translating, but it can be funny to watch people who don’t know try to figure out who she’s talking about.

[awlwren-writes]

🔥🥀

For Espervier

🔥 — Something they’re passionate about

Eliana really loves puzzles - specifically solving them, the moment when things click into place. She often cycles through interests - mystery novels, model building, sleight of hand magic tricks, basic coding, jigsaw puzzles, woodworking, etc - but at their heart, they all have that “click” in common: the moment when everything works out, and then does it again and again and again. Not just because of luck, but because you found the right method and can now apply it at will. Then when she has a comfortable system, her interest wanes and she moves on to something else, though she does cycle back through every now and then.

🥀 — A memory that still hurts

When she was a young Crownsguard, she caught a little bit of flack because her name is fairly Tenebraenne, but her family has been in Insomnia for so long it was mainly in the form of disparaging comments. Still, with no other frame of reference, she thought the jokes about easy surrender and frippery, and the equally well-worn but quiet discrimination against her as a woman looking for field work, were annoying but about the worst it got in the Guard. Something everyone had to learn to get over as part of the job. So she didn’t notice how bad it was getting for three quiet young recruits a year behind her until they fully crashed out, each in spectacularly different ways within weeks of each other.

Could she have done something if she’d realized what was going on? Supported them or intervened or talked them into just getting out of the Guard or something? No one will know. But she tried to deliberately look out for the quiet ones, the driven ones, and the young ones after that.

She was never going to be the den mother type, but she could make sure they knew what their fair shake was and if they weren’t getting it, could be a tutor or a sparring partner, or even someone to sit with quietly when they needed a break.
