[rae-nell]

Hello, I'm Rae 👋

I've seen that a few other people have pinned introductions on their blogs, so thought I could write one in case anyone comes looking.

I'm a long-time fandom lurker and new writer!

I'm recently back on Tumblr again after last using the site back in about 2015 as a Supernatural fan. At the moment, my current obsession is Linked Universe and Legend of Zelda as a whole, and given how much content there is, I don't think I'll be moving on anytime soon! Also, the people in this fandom are honestly just the nicest people. You're all so supportive of each other, I love it!

In the last few months, I've started dipping my toes back into the world of fic writing (it's been about 15 years for me), and I've been having a blast. Life has gotten a bit busier lately, so I haven't had much time or energy for writing, but it's not something I intend to give up!

My AO3 is here if anyone wants to check it out 😊😊😊

This chapter, I really am luring everyone into a false sense of security before BAM! Pain and suffering

I might be newish to Tumblr, but I think one of the great parts about it is you can interact however much you want; no pressure! As for updating fics: also no pressure! While many people here really enjoy reading fics, I’d say most of us are pretty chill and don’t hold it against someone when they take a break from writing. Take whatever time you need! Also, hope you feel better soon if you haven’t recovered from your cold yet!

Hi Este! I realise I'm super late replying to this, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to write it. It was really lovely of you 💕

I never judge other people for taking time offline or dropping off the map for a bit, but need to work on being gentler with myself, I think.

I miss writing, but whenever I've tried lately, I've really struggled with it. The uni course I'm doing online started back up again, so that's taking a lot of my mental energy at the moment.

I hope you're doing well 💕💕💕

Get to know 9 people tag game

Ty for the tag @onewingedsparrow !! :D

Last song listened to: currently listening to Warrior by Aurora :)

Currently reading: Well… does fanfiction count?? Also I keep meaning to start another LOTR readthrough but haven’t gotten to it yet 😭

Sweet/spicy/savory: hmm…savory. Although I am also highly partial to ice cream and slushies and whatnot…

Current obsessions: Hoo ok… LoZ/LU ofc, Narnia, LOTR, and Endeavour. Also Marvel but mainly just the Spider-Man films atm lol

Relationship status: single Pringle who is ready to mingle

Last thing I googled: “how long did all of the LOTR movies take to film,” because I saw someone on Pinterest claim that it took a single year to film all three of them and I was like “….I’m almost 100% sure that’s wrong” so I was doublechecking lol

Currently working on: the next chapter of TFLB, a Joandeavour fic, finishing my first semester of college, some watercolor, and many other fic wips 😂

Tagging @nocturnalfandomartist @sapphicseasapphire @hero-of-courage @mistresslrigtar @anyone!

[hero-of-courage]

Hi @skyyknights ! Thanks for the tag!

Last song listened to: Awaken the Dragon by Rozen. He has amazing Zelda covers! Highly recommend!

Currently reading: erm… LU fanfics that are mainly Sky centric.

Sweet/spicy/savory: I think savory, but I do have the sweet tooth compared to my siblings.

Current obsessions: Linked Universe, Legend of Zelda, Demon Slayer, Merlin, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc… I like a lot of things okay?

Relationship status: I’m taken by Jesus Christ, but am otherwise single. XD

Last thing googled: Ganondorf fight Totk… I was struggling okay! Besides I only skimmed over the guide to see if I was missing something important. All I had to do was get good at shield bashing and flurry rushes.

Currently working on: An assortment of unpublished fanfics. Skyrider Saga (a Star Wars Skyward Sword Au), Linked Galaxy, Plummet below (LU fic involving Skyangst), an unnamed Merlin LU Au, and a cartoon Zelda fic. I’m also working on some chainmail.

"Sacred sword Skyward sword."

Currently working on: Unravelling, and a small little one-shot thing :)

By Your Side

Inspired by HTTYD and this tweet

[undertheopensky]

I didn't realise that this Whumptober was your first time writing in 10 years!!! I am floored. I thought you were a seasoned writer!

It's my first time writing in around 10-12 years, too, and I've been reading your Whumptober fics thinking, "Damn, this is the level I'm hoping to get to some day." If this is your practice run, I can't wait to read what's coming in the future 💕

That's amazingly kind of you to say! It's lovely to hear that someone looks at my writing on that level.

HoweverI have to stress this isn't technically my first time writing in all that time - I just haven't posted any of it, or even been writing 'properly'. Bits and pieces strung together more in my head than on paper, scenes and dialogue, things for myself that no one else ever sees. And if no one else was ever going to see it, well, why work through the hard parts? Why fight with writer's block when I could just move on to something else? Writing's been a huge release for me, and I didn't want to make my most important hobby stressful. (I had enough of that already!)

This year though I got into Linked Universe, and the fandom as a whole was - so nice? So welcoming? So connected? I wasn't just reading fics and looking at fanart and shouting into the void; people were shouting back. Overjoyed I was expressing happiness at their work, or expressing their own appreciation for someone else's. There's so much unrestrained joy here.

I'm always writing something. But it was this fandom that made me want to start sharing it again.

[rae-nell]

I completely agree about the fandom - everyone is so lovely and supportive, there's no competing or nastiness or "you're wrong because x" and "my headcanon is better because y". Everyone is just so NICE. It's a lovely Internet space to exist in, and I'm so happy that I found it. Finding time to contribute as much as I'd like is quite hard because, you know, life - but no one is horrible about that. Someone new shows up, and it's like, "Oh, cool, you're part of the group now! Come in!", no questions asked. It's so lovely 😭
