Thanks to @jinxedruby for the tag 💖congrats on surviving your time in the RWBY fandom as someone else who loved that show for years, it was a fun show to watch for so much of my high school life.
Most of my usernames revolve around the same theme. Rose/Rosemary comes from the fact that I've always loved the name, even as a kid. It's similar to my irl name and a house I grew up in as a kid had massive rosemary bushes so I fell in love with the smell of the flowers and leaves.
Riddle is an inside joke with a close family member lol. I like to learn new things and while I'm notoriously bad at puzzle games, I like to think about things and poke and prod stuff until I understand it, so it just has always fit.
So now I just mash variations of those two together whenever I join a new site lol
going to tag @starseekerwrites, @wellwornworldwalker, @natsue-yotsuki, and @boommoth :)
Rules: tag your mutuals (or anyone else you would like to tag) to receive an explanation about their username! (No pressure if you don't want to tell)
Thank you @riddlemearose for the tag! The story behind your name is so sweet and fun!
Mine is actually a mix of two names- Moth (discord) and Sboom (ao3). The username Moth came to me randomly like idk at least 4 years ago, because now it's what all my friends call me. I adore the actual insect, moths, too! They're just so cute and come in such a variety, one of my favourites is the Hercules moth :)
And as for the username Sboom, that came from a random joke my friend made with my school assessment in year 9! We sat next to each other and I wrote 'boom' in the corner of my paper, and she added the 's' in front. We giggled for like 5 minutes repeated sboom to each other, and it's stuck as my secondary username.
I'm curious about your usernames, @fierce07, @waywardjaybird and @orucs-oraihc! (of course take your time or dont answer if you're not comfortable <3)
Rules: tag your mutuals (or anyone else you would like to tag) to receive an explanation about their username! (No pressure if you don't want to tell)
discord friends have sent me down a wildlight rabbit hole that i can no longer get out of and now im here 😅 shoutout @boommoth for putting specifically fem wildlight in my head and writing an amazing little drabble for the makeup meme ^^ ❤️❤️
Roaches might have won control of my laptop (possible German roach infestation in it which is heartbreaking) but I power through the fear with my phone and a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard I bought last year!! It works well and I'm slowly learning it's layout.
LUWAT went so well I almost hit 40k words for the total of this series Im writing! I've only posted one part of it and that has 9k+ words so a good chunk of this has not even been touched on outside of a discord server I chat in lol
+ zoom on the heart chambers. i heavily referenced that one botw concept art showing what link’s family could have been like. there’s no proposed design for his mother so i did my best haha
i think 100% the house link buys in hateno was definitely his family home as a child, but he doesn’t remember ofc
do you think link would have been excited to join the knights at first? i think he would have, when he was young and didn’t understand the implications of the position.
Oh my goodness the amount of detail??? The champions next to his heart that has panels of his family I'm crying. There's no doubt more details that I'm missing
Kinda bummed I couldnt finish this, still a wip. I knew I'd end up with this or another wip for febuwhump since I knew I couldnt write as I liked but hey its a thing
RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and find you post a snippet or tell them something about it!
Thanks @pelicanpig for the tag. Now watch me as I’m sure to forget something. All of these are Linked Universe unless marked otherwise.
My active WIPs include
Secret Keeper
Drowning on Dry Land
Lover, Have Mercy
WIPs I’ve outlined
AU for Lover, Have Mercy
POW fic
WIPs that are just a twinkle in my eye, a far off dream, a “one day” kind of idea.
3 + 1 hair care fic for Wild
Post adventure pen pals

I do not I have enough mutuals to fit with my 9 WIPS that haven't been tagged lol, let's hear your WIPS @fierce07!
It might not be clear with my over a month of no updates on Ao3 with my fic series A Quest from Hylia Herself, but I am in fact working on it, as well as some other fics.
Wild sat silently in the corner of the camp they'd made, leaning carefully forward with three glass containers before him. Between his feet lay multiple bundles of arrows, and his purah pad was sat on his hip as usual.
Grabbing one of the arrows, he dusted the stone tip of it carefully with a cloth and dipped it into the container that held yellow jelly, careful of the light zaps that danced around it.
"Whatcha doing, Wild?" Wind asked, appearing by his side.
«I am making my elemental arrows.» He signed after carefully putting the now electrical arrow in it's quiver. «I need more after these recent encounters.»
"You make them yourself?" Sky tilted his head from where he sat near the fire, having overheard their small conversation.
«I have too now, but about 5 years ago I could buy special ones that weren't made from chuchu jelly.» He joked, looking up from his task.
"I always would wonder how you just had them ready." The boy beside him said, crouching carefully around the glass containers. "You said these are chuchu jellies? How does it work?"
Wild blinked for a moment, before leaning back with a heavy breath. «So, my chuchu's are elemental depending on where they've spawned. An example is this one.»
Grabbing another arrow, he wiped it clean again and swirled it in the white jelly, waiting a few moments before pulling it out and setting it down on his lap. The tip of it wasn't on his leg, but the jelly was stuck to the stone, frosty mist evaporating off but not disappearing from it's surface.
«This is ice chuchu jelly. Once it's embedded onto the arrow's stone tip, it emits a cold air and will freeze whatever it's shot at. You've seen me use it before.» He continued to sign once his hands were free.
When he looked up, Wild finally noticed that more than two people were watching. His tail twitched behind him when he saw that at least four of the others were turned to him, various levels of intrigue clear on their faces.
"That's so simple." Legend huffs from where he was sitting, "I thought you used an elixir or something."
He shook his head, «just chuchu jelly now. Least expensive thing.»
"You used other stuff before?" Wind gasped, leaning forward.
Putting a hand on his shoulder to steady him, Wild nodded, «before I realised chuchu jelly was easiest to apply, I shoved these new plants that were everywhere on arrows. They did the trick, but weren't useful in the long run.»
"That's fair." Sky nodded, and by his side Time joined in.
"My elemental arrows just had colours on them depicting what they were, but difficult to find. Your ones are much easier to make." He added, looking at the jars that were by Wild's feet.
«Anyone want to help me make the arrows?» Wild tilted his head, feeling his tattered ear twitch against his hair. «It's going to take awhile.»
"I'll help!" Wind stuck his hand up immediately, a wide, excited smile on his face.
He smiled, «perfect.»

Thank you for reading! I wrote this in like one night to get the creative juices flowing for my AU lol
To my moots. I want to know what the most bonkers way you got into a fandom.
I personally have many stories but I think my weirdest was that time Attack on Titan was getting popular. I was hearing about it but didn’t really know what is was. Then I had a dream where my mind provided its own possible scenario on what this show was about. I woke up and figured I had no choice but see for myself. My dream was way off.
The only explanation I can give is there is a sweet spot of stressed without being upset that I can hit and my dreams become truly unhinged.
Your turn @riddlemearose @starseekerwrites @lizzable @pelicanpig @wolfsan11 @natsue-yotsuki @thejolteonmastertj
I'm typically not a fan (for some reason) of people trying to introduce me to things. I typically have to find them myself. @iamkingfish tried to get me into Hadestown knowing I would love it, but I was silly and wasn't interested yet.
It wasn't until a few months later when my roommates at the time and I were watching a bunch of clips from musicals when I finally saw it: Wait for Me performed at the Tony's, and that was when it clicked for me.
Fish, my love, I'm so glad you tried to get me into it, and I'm sorry I was so silly about it! And thank you for bearing with me when I went nuts about it!
Fish, your turn! Also @waywardjaybirder @alllinkedup
My friend has a tried and true method of eventually getting me to watch whatever they recommend. It's not that I don't WANT to watch things they rec, more that i'm a busy person and very defensive of my time haha
they will mention it to me, build it up, not push me to watch it. They will warn me of the caveats--this is good but you have to accept this. Slowly send me some edits that don't spoil anything. find the saddest most whumpable character and tell me they think I'd like them.
sometimes it takes over a year but i almost always eventually watch whatever they've been building up toward. this includes:
Andor (fucking fantastic)
Frieren
Mob Psycho
Arcane
and they're currently starting the process with Chainsaw Man
other than that i've gotten into a few fandoms solely by reading fanfiction before lol
I'm not too sure, but the silliest way I can remember is the fandom I'm currently in, Legend of Zelda/Linked Universe.
I'd seen a few edits over the years of Botw mainly- mostly around when Totk came out- and only got truly interested when I got both of the games spoiled for me via the lore explanations on Zeltik's channel. I had watched all 4 hours of lore explanations and was obsessed, but couldn't play the games.
Mentioned it to a friend at work, and she offered me her switch to play the games, and it happened from then on. I managed 80 some hours on Botw before giving it back to her and getting my own switch- and now I wouldn't give it up for the world.
It's definitely lead me to AUs that I ADORE and my own AU! And of course the new friends I've made :)
As shown in chapter 3 of the first installment in my series, I've changed how the stables work slightly. It's not too different from canon, but enough that I wanna share.
Every stable has a paddock around the back of their building that holds a small building, well, and a shed. The building is where the stable family lives, it's small due to the factor that- unless they're sick or there are other reasons- the family is out helping around the stable with either the horses, sheep/cows/cuccos, or general upkeep.
A stable family is, well, a family that works at the stable. They generally never change jobs, as they are born into it and are raised there. And due to this, they have a special bond with horses- and Malanya. The god blesses them with this bond, causing most stable family members to have their own soul horse, born on the same day they're born.
Whenever a traveller books a night and requests their horse for the next day, the stable head asks them to write the name of their horse(s) down and puts it into a lantern with the other requests of the day. At midnight, the stable head takes the lantern to the paddock, lighting it and leaving the papers to burn overnight. When they wake up the next day, the horses that have been requested are in the paddock.
Malanya's powers are strongest at the stables, and even stronger at midnight- which is the whole reason behind the stable heads burning the lantern at that time. The god himself, though, can be found either in Northern Akkala, or in Faron, near the Lake of the Horse God. He very rarely revives horses, though, only doing so if you deeply care for the creature, and did not cause their untimely demise.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! (I hope this makes sense too lol)
