Wow okay, I think that’s it! Ask me things if you like! Or scream at me about fics or art or things you like in general :D
Heyo! I know I don't post too much anymore, but thanks for sticking around and poking my blog every now and again! I appreciate you all and just know I'll eventually get back around to the socials every other few months or so.
Lowkey applied for an ao3 account just to read your fics again. I haven’t given in to getting one for like 4 years but like, you work is peak
Aw thank you! Yeah I made all my works private in the hopes that they won't get scraped by LLMs, so I appreciate your understanding! Thank you so much for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed :D
My band teacher gave me "in the hall of the mountain king" and I keep accidentally calling it "in the hall of the king Underhill" and my friend stares at me like I'm crazy
Hah! I love that piece, it's honestly so fire. Hope you enjoyed playing it!
When I was in the waiting room at the hospital for my dad's surgery (he's fine it was just an ankle surgery) I reread the Event Horizons series and have soo many questions (because that surgery took forever omg) that all mostly revolve around Voidfall and EH!Ranboo's family and Zeetho and Ettaah (those two seem like such a potentially intresting characters). I think if I asked them all in this post it'd be very overwhelming and packed so these are some shortened versions ig:
• Why was Ranboo the favorite child of Ettaah and was he also Zeetho's favorite child?
• What else is there about Ettaah to know other than what little we saw?
• How would Zeetho have reacted/felt to meeting EH!Tubbo and knowing he was EH!Ranboo's cariad and that in a technically way, EH!Tubbo was a member of the royal family? (Also vice versa with EH!Tubbo meeting Zeetho) would Zeetho be like that one the owl house character's mom who was like "Girlfriend 😨??? No we'll find you a new one"
• Would Ettaah have liked EH!Tubbo?
• Why did Reshaa hate EH!Ranboo so much?
• Did you ever come up with the age differences between EH!Ranboo and his siblings? How old were their parents because it seems like Reshaa is in her 30s but Zeetho is still king so he in his 50s/60s?
• How did EH!Ranboo feel about his nieces and nephews? Did they feel bad leaving the kids when they left for good?
• How would EH!Ranboo and EH!Tubbo be as parents (to Micheal I assume) I feel like there's potentially a lot of angst with EH!Ranboo not wanting to be like Zeetho.
• How did Voidfall change after Ranboo left? I assume he never gets a grave in the garden, and is never spoken of again but how do they affect/effect (can't remember rn) their families reputation? Also what would Meleeri's reaction be to loosing a charge with EH!Ranboo, something she literally said she wouldn't let that happen with him.
• Can we know anymore about EH!Ranboo as a baby with Zeetho and Ettaah? It's hard to imagine Zeetho actually being around his children in their infancies but he says that EH!Ranboo had tried to pull out the jewels in Zeetho's crown and they got the nannies mad so he obviously spent enough time with his kids to give them something so important and know how the nannies felt. Or was it like a Napoleon (I think?) situation where he would put his crown on their heads and laugh when they fell over from the weight of it.
• Did EH!Ranboo visit their mother's grave one last time before dipping from Voidfall forever?
• Does EH!Ranboo get a weird feeling of homesickness for Voidfall like how some people with bad pasts get for their old homes even if they were awful?
I'm so so so sorry if these are too much, I tried to shorten them down as best I could without asking every single question I thought of in that waiting room but I have soo many more. That surgery was literally so long I had nothing to do other than read and think and try not to get mad at Lily's Garden ☹️ also, I truly admire your work and Event Horizons did help me get through a difficult lonely school year (half because I was bored and half of the theme of that things will get better [and they did! ^^])
I admire your work and hope to be even as half of an amazing writer that you are!
Heyo. Sorry it took me a hot second to answer, I haven’t been on socials much these days for ye olde mental health, but I appreciate your patience!
To save space, I’m not gonna retype questions if that’s alright! But in order (also under the cut because Length):
1. Ettaah was very good at court life and also raising her children to survive in court, but that didn’t mean she really liked the little monsters they had to become. Since Ranboo was still so young when she died, she never really had to watch him become as conniving as the rest! I’m not sure if Zeetho could pick favorites out of his kids, but he does hold a special fondness for Ranboo since he named him, and also a part of him is happy one of his kids escaped Voidfall.
2. I didn’t have a whole lot of specifics for Ettaah! Ranboo’s view of her is very biased though, and she was a lot less sweet and kind than he knew her to be. She became queen by basically outcompeting all of her rivals in court (lots of murders staged at her hands), and she enjoyed playing the game until she started having her kids and had to watch them go through court training. It wasn’t fun anymore after that.
3. I’ve never seen Owl House, but Zeetho wouldn’t have cared too much about the gender of the cariad since Ranboo wasn’t the heir, so there wouldn’t be an issue with the line of succession. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have been racist and condescending though. Tubbo would’ve shot him.
4. No, she would’ve felt like he was below Ranboo’s station.
5. I think that’s alluded to a few places in De Terra, but she was jealous her mother clearly favored Ranboo over her daughter, the heir.
6. Eh I think I had a list of them at some point but I can’t find it and I can’t remember. I think Reshaa is 30 minimum? She’s got like twin 10 year olds. So yeah Zeetho would be in his 50’s/60’s since he would’ve fathered Reshaa in his 20’s
7. Ranboo’s not super great with kids? And since the siblings all have such cutthroat relationships, most of them wouldn’t really let their siblings spend a lot of time with their kids? So I don’t think Ranboo knew any of them very well. They would probably feel some guilt thinking about kids growing up in Voidfall, but there’s a lot more than just the royal family, and it’s kinda a, ‘what can ya do’ situation.
8. I think I talked about that some on stream once? It was a long time ago, but yeah both of them would have a lot of adjustments to make and Ranboo would be worried a lot about repeating the clusterfuck of his childhood.
9. Voidfall largely continues on as is. I think officially they say Ranboo died? And no one really questions it. Eventually though Reshaa does poison Zeetho to take the throne, but that’s pretty expected. Also, Meleeri died a good bit ago in universe (she was old). It was going to be mentioned in one of the Lesson flashbacks, but it got cut for other material. She would’ve been pissed though, I think it would’ve killed her.
10. Zeetho and Ettaah both spent as much time as they could with their kids without clearly marking them as favored (it would put a target on the kid’s back), but this is kind of a broad question? Typically in royal households, nannies do a lot of the child rearing, but Zeetho and Ettaah were a part of their children’s lives. As warped and horrible as both the parents were, they did love their children in their own way, but that doesn’t excuse the things they did.
11. No, they didn’t exactly have the time. You don’t linger when Reshaa is pissed off and looking for an excuse to maim someone.
12. Probably! But it’s mostly like missing food or music, the landscape, just Annwyl in general.
Thank you for reading and I’m really glad you enjoyed! Also, I’m sure you have a lot of talent as an author, just keep writing and putting all your heart into what you make!
So I'm rereading Event Horizon (again) and there's this question that's been bugging me since my very first read so I decided finally ask you
Okay so basically I've been wondering about 'The Declassified Galactic Survival Guide' is that something Tubbo perhaps read or maybe even wrote? Or is it just something given to us readers as an extra to his experiences? Because for Ranboo's part it's obviously his memories and the things he learned but for Tubbo it's not as clear so I was just curious what you had in mind writing the entries
The intermissions are also a very awesome concept btw how you came up with that?
Anyways love those two fanfics they're like my absolute favourite
Heyo! The Galactic Survival Guide was my idea for breaking up scenes and also giving backstory/context to the reader without having characters info dump! Perhaps it's something EH!Tubbo would've read, but he definitely did not write it! I don't think he has the patience to write an entire book lol
The Guide was inspired by the irl book 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'!
Hi I was re listening to event horizon(more specifically de Terra) recently and it made me realize something, mainly with the marriage thing (from my memory at least of reading the Hall of the king Underhill is) with Tubbo and Ranboo in both fics seems very similar but swapped, like the other was unaware, was that intentional or am I remembering wrong?? Yes I could just reread the fic and get an answer but I'm too lazy to do that.. 😭
Hah yeah they are inverted when it comes to the marriage trope. It's been so long, I can't exactly remember why I felt compelled to do it again, but I felt like it fit EH Ranboo and exploring his culture! I do remember telling one of my editor besties that I was worried people would be upset that I was using the same plotline again though lol XD
hello! i'm about to buy your book, and wanted to ask - is it better to buy it directly from gumroad, or will kindle store work as well? just wondering what benefits you more as an author. thanks!
Oh this is really sweet! Thank you for asking! Honestly both have their pros and cons for searchability and the compensation I receive, so it really evens out either way!
I will say if you already have a kindle, it's easier getting it onto your e-reader if you buy from the kindle store, but really, whichever platform works best for you /gen
Thank you so much for giving my book a read! I really hope you enjoy :D
I’m a little nervous writing this message but I wanted to let you know that your series event horizon holds a very special place in my heart. I found it at a very dark time and I related to Ranboo so much and seeing him not only try to get better but also have his own happy ending helped me so much in bettering my life and not giving up, your fanfics are so amazing and I want to thank you for making them
Aw thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed EH, and I'm happy my work was able to offer comfort in a hard time in your life. I hope you're doing better now! Thanks again for reading <3
Got WGBITN for Christmas and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Them. Made me squeal at several points, we love an aro cringe fail king and I can’t wait for the next book. My dad even picked it up and said he liked it(though he got lost with all the French lol). Binged the whole thing in one sitting so now I’m mildly delirious typing on my iPad have a lovely day goodnight
AW! Thank you so much!! I'm really gald you and your dad enjoyed :D
Bit of a soft launch announcement but I actually just finished the 2nd book the other day!! So get ready for The Things Under Your Bed coming to you this spring!
hi i just wanted to say that event horizons has fundementally changed me as a being and is an integral part of who i am. thank you so much for writing it deadass i would not be who i am today without it
Aw this is so sweet! I'm really happy the series has meant so much to you /gen
It is my pleasure to write and it is a great honor to know it is enjoyed
rereading event horizon with the mindset of an Aroace with certain feelings about love in a sociology stance.
wanted to throw out some thoughts about how eh!beeduo feel about love and as if it was intended/ what the thoughts were behind them.
first of all: Tubbo strikes me as aroflux of some sort. He seems to view love casually, familially, and platonically. And yet, despite casually claiming to love many, many people, he shied away from the concept of marriage and romance. It feels very similar to an aromantic individual that enjoys emotional intimacy, but rejects labels due to the societal expectations placed around them.
on the flip side: Ranboo’s love is reserved for immediate family and his life-partner. He is more conservative with his definition of love, and would never use it to describe a purely platonic, acquaintance-level relationship. To him, love is sacred, unconditional, and everlasting. I think he really only ever claims to love Tubbo and his mother. He actually rejects the social expectations around things like marriage by being so selective with intimacy. To him, he will pick one person to love with all of his heart, and ignores/rejects others’ definition of love at the same time.
I just think it’s really cool -an aroace in a sociology class
Ooooo I like your thoughts! Those are good reads on both of them
I think I mentioned before but EH beeduo never had any strict labels applied to them because of the state of the fandom at the time, and I don't really have any intrest now in trying to define them further. I like how they exist as they are, and it gives room for people to come up with their own interpretations of their relationship!
