[formerlygoldilocks]

Any update on continuing Lunar Ephemerality? :---(

i have some rough ideas for how it could continue, but nothing drafted yet. it is definitely still on the brain!

[formerlygoldilocks]

Waving 👋🏽 just to say that you’re a blessing to Zutara nation. Yet to read a fanfic from your catalog I didn’t like so have a great day.

Out of curiosity, which is your favorite fic that you’ve ever written - like holds a special place in your heart?

hello anon! i'm sure you asked this a really long time ago and apologies that i am not answering until now. i hope you're doing well <3

thank you so much for the kind words and the lovely question! if i had to say, i am quite proud of Lunar Ephemerality, but i have a WIP that i am extremely passionate about (and hopefully will start working on again soon) that will probably be the new answer if i ever finish it

Zutara Month 2022 Day 23: Bluetara/ Paintko

A guy like you should wear a warning It’s dangerous, I’m falling

~(Toxic, 2WEI version yes the version matters this one has a very different vibe than the original)

Experimenting with different coloring and lighting techniques. It’s not perfect, but I had fun with it. (I didn’t add my “after dark” label because they’re both fully clothed, but if anyone wants me to tag that just let me know!)

If you’re looking for your Bluetara/ Paintko fix, and enjoy adult fanfiction (these are all rated M or E for a reason!), I recommend Solace of Night by goldilocks23, and the interconnected fics it inspired: Warfare at Dawn by nire, the skins of diplomats by FictionIsSocialInquiry, Crashing of the Tides by AwakeJuice, and The Comforts of Night by gemgirl28.

realities :(

hello it me however long later - i know it has been ages but i am dipping my toes back into writing so an update to that may be coming sooner rather than later! it is not abandoned!

OTP/Shipping positivity post! 💖

It’s been such a late night that the sun is starting to rise, and your OTP(s) are starving. Where do they hit up for breakfast?

Awww cute ask - thanks anon!!

They go home and cook pancakes with the tiny amount of leftover all-purpose baking mix left in the cupboard and 1 single egg left in the fridge. And then they burn the pancakes while they make out

ZK Actor AU comic Part 2

This was based on a tweet I’ve been itching to draw. When I first saw it I knew I had to draw it and make it zutara because DUH. So yeah I did a different artstyle so I can finish it quickly.

If you have any headcanons in this AU please feel free to share :>>> pls my brainrot for this AU is so intense

Part 1 of this comic (here)

some messy sketches bc i’m a sucker for katara initiating their first kiss

Hello dear 💜 3, 13, and 21 for the asks?

dearest gem <3 thank you for the asks!!

3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?

Usually I write from start to finish, but on my current multichap WIP I'm trying to jump around a bit so I can backfill some foreshadowing

13. Is there a trope you wouldn’t write if it was the last trope on earth?

ABO dynamics. I will steer far away from them. No hate to those who write them, but they're not my thing.

21. What is the one fic that got away?

the crack fic about Zuko being stressed about Katara’s pregnancy so at night he dresses up like the blue spirit and tips cows

[formerlygoldilocks]

(Resisting the urge to ask number 27 about you-know-which-fic that I'm always kinda gonna want a sequel for despite how well you ended it.) Okay, 14 (interested) and 17 (obsessed with forcing you into saying nice things about your own work).

hello miss meggles, thank you for the asks!!

27. If you were ever to do a sequel to [x fic], what do you think might happen in it?

I do have plans to at least attempt to come back to that one, and it would resolve with a happier and much less open-ended ending hehe

14. If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick?

This one is tricky. I'd probably want one person for their resourcefulness, and the other because I would enjoy their company. With that said, Katara and Iroh respectively.

17. What fic are you most proud of?

Rude of you to ask this question but I would say my current WIP for the Big Bang not because I particularly like the writing but because I've worked my butt off trying to put it together
