[caraminha]

Hi, long time lurker here... what happened to y'all? You and your fics but also the other authors who used to be friends with?

The fics I have no real answer for other than the spark ran out im sorry :( The people :D well not the racist or the groomer for sure but theres a handful left that i love with my whole heart and speak to regularly

[caraminha]

Hi! Recent follower, long time bookmarked on ao3. You probably get this kind of question a lot, but how much money do I need to give you to finish my absolute favorite Peter fic: “keep your friends close (and your enemies...)” like years later I’m still having the shit kicked out of my emotions on a fic with four chapters still missing. Years later and I still yearn for these chapters. Please I crave completion. It’s soooo good!!

hello my sweet friend thank you for the love i appreciate it so much <3 maybe i will finish that fic someday it WEIGHS ON ME THAT I NEVER FINISHED IT SO MUCH!! i love you and im sorry i didn't reply sooner x

[caraminha]

Hey! I've just come off of your ao3 and wanted to say that your work is amazing. Would love to see you come back to fic someday - you have such a talent! Thanks for providing us with such great content!

I know these asks that i'm about to respond to are quite old and i'm so sorry but ohhhh thank you so much this means more than you know <3 i was just a little baby in first year of university when I wrote these fics!!!! and now I'm 2 years clear of graduating and living an adult life. I miss those days so much but maybe sometime soon I will start writing again....... i read what i wrote back then and i dont believe it's me but I still love and appreciate you guys SO much if any of you are still here x

[caraminha]

B. K. V. !

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

God yes, way too many of them.  Wrong Pipe in particular was more or less straight out of my own dumbassery chronicles. 

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

Cecily and I had a prank fic gone wrong = MCD idea not too long ago lmao

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Ooh there’s a tough question. Mostly I just want the original authors to bust out another installment so I can read and enjoy, but I guess I’m gonna go with round two by @caraminha. I’ll write round one, with May and Ben.

Ask game

[caraminha]

OP WRITE IT

[caraminha]

hi US followers. How excited are you to vote trump out <3

[caraminha]

90% of my followers are American and I hope you’re all - but especially my POC and American followers - staying as safe as possible right now. Black lives matter, and my followers are the absolute BEST so I know you’re all doing everything you can to help the cause whilst the fire is at its hottest and things are at their scariest. I’m British so we have had a few demonstrations and marches etc., but nothing like over with you guys -- DM or inbox me any petitions I might not have signed, people I can email, and if you guys have any urgent local and/or personal charity/bailout causes that need donating to, send me the link to that.

Listen to what your black friends are saying, and make those responsible LISTEN.

[caraminha]

This might seem kind of juvenile but ever since I was a preteen I’ve just played pretend to get into character’s mindsets before I write?? Like it’s just a habit that stuck with me and even thought I’m practically an adult now I still go back to that method when I’m having difficulty.😅

I don’t think that’s juvenile at all!! It shows an ability to really immerse yourself with what you’re writing!!

[caraminha]

i replay that clip i put on my story of joey batey singing the word “mascara” everyday of my life, i am........ SO hot for it

horny on main for mascara. I respect it 

[caraminha]

Oh yes, we Americans are def hot under the collar for British accents lmao (watching Peaky Blinders is a dream 😂). And we say mascara like "Mask-care-uh"

omg i love that!! and it’s so funny because i did a linguistic study in my degree about anonymous opinions of UK dialects and the Birmingham/Peaky Blinders dialect came DEAD LAST which i expected because it’s got a lot of stigma but tbh i like it so if u have a brum accent this blog is a safe space

and honestly i love mask care uh so much it rolls off the tongue

[underoosstark]

I JUST GOT INTO UCLA

[caraminha]

i meant to search for this post ages ago and reblog it but... dear God look at this amazing woman..........im in awe

[caraminha]

today I woke up and immediately thought about how you say the word “mascara” and I was like. “mmm. good shit.”

oh my GOD I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW /YOU GUYS/ SAY IT i’m dead i love you and @underoosstark for being a bit hot under the collar for a british accent tho

[caraminha]

guess which insanely gifted writer and poised, compassionate person i love!!!!!!!
