[capriciouswriter207]

Welcome, one and all, to the sideblog that should’ve been a main blog, but oh well. You may call me Jackie, Emma, or Writer, and I mainly offer is angsty worldbuilding, character/world ponderings, and the occasional novel-sized fanfics and other writings. The majority of my posts are about Empires SMP, with some Hermitcraft and other MCYT sprinkled in, and a sliver of other stuff. Please enjoy your stay!

Some other info about me:

AO3: Writer207

main: @a-most-capricious-blog (very much abandoned)

hobbies: crochet, Minecraft, Dungeons and Dragons

also into: musicals, Eurovision, seriously good stories in any medium

genres: angst, hurt/comfort, adventure, fantasy (with just a hint of horror sometimes)

Common tags:

capricious writings (used for random drabbles, ficlets, and first chapters of new multi-chapter stories)

capricious updates (signifies AO3 updates)

capricious reblog (what it says on the tin)

Some of my work:

Terrors Beneath Deepfrost Citadel: a TangoTek-approved Decked Out 2 D&D campaign

maps of the Frozen Crypt, the Caves of Carnage, the Black Mines, and the Burning Dark (tumblr posts)

campaign documents (google folder with pdf + google doc with info, folder with all maps)

Cult of the Wither: a Decked Out D&D adventure

campaign documents (google folder with pdf + google doc with info, folder with all maps)

stands well alone, but can be used as a prelude to Terrors Beneath Deepfrost Citadel

MCYT story masterpost (for stories on AO3)

Tumblr posts (a selection)

Amnesiac Sausage: “Sausage wakes up in a[n] unfamiliar bed, with unfamiliar faces around him.” The one idea that eventually inspired “tabula rasa”

Pantheon: a potential pantheon for Empires SMP season 1

Crystal Cliffs worldbuilding: worldbuilding for the Crystal Cliffs, including cloaks, school system and how it functions as a nation

Languages: the (European) languages that would be spoken in each empire based on my own (biased) judgment

Last names: headcanon of how the last names work in the Ocean Empire, Cod Empire, Gilded Helianthia/Mythland and Pixandria

Pix leaves his Empire: I tagged this as “post-canon? probably” at the time and I still stand by that decision

My evil boyfriend and me: that one time I wrote (the lyrics of) a stupid Jornoth love song (Joey POV) after Deal of Destiny was released

The Elation and Anxiety of Reading Fic in Your Native Tongue

For fans in Kenya, Nigeria, and Burundi, “uncringing” non-English fanfiction is an endeavor in decolonialism.

Our latest piece is live! The brilliant Soila Kenya writes about the dominance of English in fandom and especially fanfiction spaces, and why for her and the fellow fans she interviewed from Kenya, Nigeria, and Burundi, this is partly about the global dominance of English-language pop culture, but especially about the legacies of colonialism:

The deep psychological imprints of this language disparity remain. And therefore, when I encountered fanfiction, it didn’t even occur to me that there were fanfics written in any language but English, let alone Swahili or any of the 42 indigenous languages in Kenya.

Click through to read the whole piece or listen to a full audio version! And if you enjoy it, please consider becoming a (free) member or especially a paying subscriber—we want to commission more pieces from Soila and other smart writers and we need your help to pay them!

(As a reminder, we have a discount rate for anyone who wants it, no questions asked—if you're a student, educator, un/underemployed, have a lower income, or literally any other reason, just email [email protected] and we're happy to provide!)

[elizabethminkel]

This piece is SO good—absolutely worth your time to read or listen (I always love hearing the writers read their work, but since the focus of this piece is language, it was especially great hearing Soila read it). If you enjoy it, please share widely: I know what Soila writes here will resonate with so many people across fandom.

[bookshop]

Just seconding the love for this piece! It really is SO tremendously worth your time.

Soila was one of my favorite WorldCon panelists last year and here she's written a really thoughtful but also extremely enjoyable treatise on what can sometimes be the "cringe" effect of reading—let alone writing!—fics in your native tongue.

I found this piece so engrossing, delightfully wry, provocative, and educational. It makes me so happy and proud to be a part of this era of Fansplaining.

HERMIT A DAY MAY!! Outfit Swap (Grian and Mumbo)

[that-fall-guy]

Outfit Swap - Hypno and Impulse - a dash of precisionism

One of a couple works not entirely inspired by any given movement. The background is of course precisionism, and I had intended to use the styles I chose for both Hermits, but unfortunately Impulse's style is more difficult to depict humans in than I expected. I just wanted an excuse to work with these two together! I love them and they should interact more just for me :>
