What is Camilla Hect doing here

For fic ask game! 4, 13, and 38 🥰

Heeeee yay thank you! :D

Do you save your 'cut scenes' from your fics? (Want to share one?)-- I actually found a doc titled "Snippets", which isn't actually cut stuff, but ideas & lines i had with nowhere to go. At least, not yet/there was stuff in there that i used in body / language. My favorite that's in there is probably this:

13 was answered in the last ask, but again, ye olde playliste is here hehe :}

Fic idea you're most excited to get to?-- I actually don't have a lot of ideas right now, but! The YGO faire AU! I keep thinking about it & poking it sometimes. It's actually kind of hard to write; i keep putting in too much minor details about doing the job (bc i gave Yugi my job lmao), & it's like... no one wants to read about the kitchen being behind, right? So let's just give them a smooth day, bc no one wants to read about the trials & tribulations of "You have 8 patrons waiting on fucking ribbon fries (Fuck those things)"... right??

But i have a scene that i already really want to get to, which is practically going to doxx my faire lmao BUT IDC bc i think it'll be cute & i like it. It involves a dance at the end of the day. A partnered dance. :}

(Ask game!)

[sowideasea]

6, 13, and 32 for the fic asks!!

yay, thank you! :D

Do you listen to anything while you write? Or do you prefer silence?-- I think i tend to want silence, just because music can distract me haha. Like if i know the lyrics, i'll focus on those words instead of trying to think of what to write. If it's music i really like, then i want to get into it, so then i'm distracted that way lmao.

Have you ever made a playlist for a fic? (Share?)-- I have! For one-- technically, for two. For the Brambles "series", which is Cooling + Beloved, Gaze in Thine Own Heart. It is unfortunately on Spotify only (boo, i know), but here it is! (I re-downloaded the app just to find it lmao💀)

Out of all your fics, what is your favorite title?-- Oooooooo. Titles are so hard for me, too; i get stuck a lot & often unsatisfied. I think i have to go with By the Way, What is "Kiss"? because not only is it an MST3K reference (though i'm blanking on the episode lmao), but it also feels like it fits the fic's overall mood? Like it's not all silly, but. I dunno, i just like it. ^^;;;

Maybe also The Sunrise is Gone? It's actually a line from a song that scared me as a kid, but it felt so fitting: bringing Atem back, then breaking him, is like destroying that new chance, that new day; on top of his Pharaohnic link to the Sun. I'm so mean to him lmao🤧

(Ask game!)

Getting dumped really puts children's cartoon villains into perspective. Like dude you're SO right, love and caring ARE disgusting and we SHOULD cast a spell to drain all human emotion into your amulet.

[draconym]

Friend breakups are how you get lines like "Your friends? You think your friends are coming to save you? Don't make me laugh."

[cyberdragoninfinity]

no no it's fine, i just wasn't expecting the random unsettling duel links lore comment to show up in the Funny Wave Duel Scramble Event

haha what do you mean the collective memories powering Yugioh Duel Links that influence the manifestation of events that happen within its world have expanded to a degree even the world's creator has no say in the matter. is that good .

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human
