hi i am luisa or louie, any pronouns, 20+ and a rat owner
you can find me on ao3 under nicemices where i'm attempting to bring some three of my many wips down.
the popscotch/wiseflower fic is on momentary hiatus (but will be finished!!) due to other obsessions taking over (reyna/viper from valorant)
more under the cut :3
other interests include: buffy the vampire slayer (my all time favourite!!!), arcane, the locked tomb series!!!, anything lesbian, disco elysium, (story based) video games in general, horror, crochet, sourdough, the sims 2/3 (and 4, but very begrudgingly. i hate-love that game), vampires in general, mermaids
recurring tags you'll see here:
for all my own posts: #jeez luise
for all the fics i've read and that i'm reccing to you: #fic recs from me
for queue i use #q
and on reblogs:
anything i want to be able to find again: #for me
resources for writing/working/research: #resources
any fic recs that i want to read: #fic recs
the rest are fairly straightforward, i tag fandoms by acronyms if they have a long name so i can find posts again like #tlt or #potc but arcane will just be #arcane
if you want to see my reblogs about a character i've been obsessed with (for whatever reason) they'll be tagged too🤷🏼♀️
my inbox is open and i'm delighted about any asks or comments, just drop by! however i might take a minute to answer but i won't forget you :3
I have a wild idea. what if we supported our claims of fact by linking to a reliable source. better yet, what if we went hogwild and just straight up linked to the actual unpaywalled study
I went—not overseas, but by public transport—to Corpus to hear Tamsyn Muir speak.
The bad news: Alecto is not finished. It will hopefully come out "soon" and will likely be fast tracked with few ARCs when it's finished.
The news you may take differently depending on your preferences: It is not being split.
The good news: It is not all written in Ye Olde Alecto speak (it sounds like Harrow's POV will be fairly major, but there will apparently be several narrators).
A slightly random selection of things I frantically scribbled down:
The protagonists of TLT would make an "absolutely shit" D&D party ("Palamedes and Camilla would be fine")
We could have had horse plinko and begone thot, but for the anti-meme ministrations of her editor. She would love an edition that puts all of the memes back in.
On Catholic imagery and lesbianism: "you ain't seen nothing yet"
"Harrow is now a believer without a church"
She said that while John and Alecto's relationship is not meant to be a 1:1 analogue to Humbert Humbert and Lolita, there is the idea of a man fashioning (something he thinks is) a girl into a perfect partner (the question of whether that is a sexual partner apparently may be relevant to ATN)
She does not have a favourite House and would just be a regular person in the world of TLT (though she would last about 0.5 seconds)
The tension between the Houses' ostensible gender equality and the misogyny that still persists is apparently also relevant to ATN. "John has set out to make a society on values he holds dear and cherishes and in some ways he has done really well... And in some way he has fucked it up beyond comprehension" (Maybe not an exact quote. My auditory processing is questionable.)
The backstory in NTN was planned right from the beginning
Lyctors "are not truly human any more. They've crystallised themselves" and "They have lost themselves and the only thing they've been able to hold on to is what other people make of them". She said she would have liked to make the Lyctors more alien but had to balance that with them being relatable narratively.
She is dying to read TLT fanfiction once she finishes the series.
i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters
i’m going to say this as nicely as possible, if you are pro jkr and have misguidedly followed me, i cannot stress enough, how weird gay and trans me and my friends are. i fear i am not for you, make your exit swiftly!
i didn’t get to watch the video so i don’t know if it was mentioned there; was locust city a project that started after kurvitz, rostov and hindpere left zaum? i had this impression when reading about it and i noticed that the one credited art i saw was not by rostov
