it’s their arc!!!!!!

[handsomeobamaintherain]

I read all of your fics and I want to know how you do it. Especially your Sound of Music AU, The Opposite of Phone Sex, and Eulogy.

@thatnamewill-probably-change Omg! Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying so! I don’t really know how to give any advice about like writing or anything cause it’s just what i do for fun, but i’ll do my best! also i’ll give you some background information about each of those fics :P 

first of all, i really only write for fun. when it stops being fun, i stop writing. that’s why a lot of my fics are unfinished. i write when i feel like it and i don’t put any pressure on myself to do anything that feels forced. it’s fanfiction, it’s just for fun! some half finished fics are my favourites to read. every once and a while when im bored i’ll throw a few more words into something and sometimes it gets finished, but most of the time it’s just a happy memory of something that i once worked on. if i try and make myself finish something, i end up hating it and then it’s not as good. 

secondly, almost all of my fics are plotted out and nearly completely written before i start writing them. i’ll talk through the whole thing with someone else, usually my gf <3 and then use that as reference when i actually write it in prose 

thirdly, i try my best not to write with like anyone else’s tastes in mind. i usually write fics because i wanna read them later and that often means that i write weirdly specific things like uh a sound of music au about a couple podcast boys

okay, backstory to those fics! 

How To Solve A Problem: dog, i don’t have an excuse really, i was mad depressed one month and watched the sound of music like 10 times in a row and came to the conclusion that the baroness was in love with maria. i also just really liked the idea of t*ommy von thirst trapp and how great he’d be as a dumb, sad, dad. the roles really fit, and i thought it would be really funny! i have most of the second act of that fic written and maybe i’ll post it unfinished (or actually finish it who knows) 

The Opposite of Phone Sex: oh man, this one is actually super personal to me. i’ve been in a long distance relationship for a long time and i was projecting so hard. i wanted someone to cuddle me, and i didn’t have anyone and i kept thinking how nice it would be if someone could. this is probably my favourite p*odsa fic i’ve ever written

Eulogy: i like angst! and i wasn’t finding it it was all relationship angst and existential dread and stuff! this was the first ‘major character death’ tag used in this fandom and im kinda proud of that. i wanted to write something that was super self indulgent, the classic early 2000′s death fic a la glee and csi miami that i used to read :P

and yeah! hope that answers your question! thanks again for such a lovely ask :D

the only hot cup of blonde i’m interested in is r-nan farr-w

[feminismandfeelings]

I saw L*vett or Leave It live for the first time yesterday (!!!) and I felt compelled to share that he brought up R*nan many times including during his rant about Howard Schultz which he ended with something along the lines of “the only cup of hot blonde I’ll have is R*nan F*rrow”.

I really hope he doesn’t cut this line and we can all listen to it forever.

lovett: and ronan turned to me and goes, “the game keeps going? do they stop for the night and pick it up another day?” it was the sweetest thing.

[liskafoxfuchs]

YES to all of that!

[romansroys]

today a customer ordered an iced passion tea with 10 pumps of sugar free vanilla and heavy cream so…..lovett’s order could be worse i guess

I love it when it then curdles after you warn them and then they yell at you and you have to softly explain chemistry to them.

[handsomeobamaintherain]

one time at the bakery i used to work at a man came in and asked for an orange tea with milk and i was like "no it'll curdle" and my boss who is a man who went through culinary school and has twenty years in the food industry came over to me and said "put the milk in first and then it wont curdle" which shocked me to my very core turns out he thought milk curdled when it was mixed with something very hot

Maria: Oh, there were times when we would look at each other… oh Mother, I could hardly breath.

[musingsdeme]

#mm. their chemistry in this movie is stupidly scorchingly electric#when they dance the landler and maria breathes “…..I can’t remember what comes next” like SAME MARIA#I WAS ALSO DISTRACTED BY HOW GEORG WAS LOOKING AT YOU LIKE HE WANTED TO EAT YOU#I WAS MOSTLY IMPRESSED BY YOUR ABILITY TO REMAIN UPRIGHT#he’s so frustrated by her entire existence and isn’t that the dream? to frustrate and arouse a very hot wealthy man who hates nazis?#sound of music (x)
