Out of the blue I’ve been receiving comments and kudos on my Miraculous Ladybugs fics that I wrote… oh god, has it already been almost a decade?!

Well, since I’m in a better place mentally than I’ve been in years, I’m kinda feeling like I could revisit them. It’s been so long since I’ve thought about ML, and even longer since I wrote fanfic, but maybe… maybe it’s time.

Maybe I’ll just start with watching the show again for nostalgia reasons since I have no idea what’s happening with it anymore lol

Working on a chapter for ABND and this has just turned into Charlie and Jin go grocery shopping for eleven people, while trying to see what they can get away with sneaking into the cart.

A and J for the fanfic thing :3

fanfic writer ask meme

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

definitely a brand new doomsday, not only because i’m proud of it as a piece of fanfiction, but because of how cathartic the writing process was. it was hard and i doubted myself a lot, but everything ended up looking almost exactly like it did in my head. the conclusion i came to was “someone with a better grasp on the english language and literature might be able to write this so much better, but they will not write it. what i want to write will only exist if i write it” and that made me feel… powerful, i guess. by the end i was very excited to show it off, and having that amount of passion driving you while creating something, it shows on the final product. people have told me how strongly it made them feel, maybe even made them cry, and that feels very rewarding!

i also learned a lot about myself in the process, since the topic of grief is extremely personal to me - all three of the boys have different pieces of my experiences, thoughts and feelings. girono is a mix of denial, aimlessness, and self-destruction - i’d even say that he is likely suicidal. fugo is attempting to understand and rationalize feelings, but failing to do so, and ending up putting the blame on someone else. while he has a grasp on how others might feel, he fails to find colleration between the two, resulting in uncertainty that he is unable to take, when his judgement gets too clouded by his emotions. and finally, mista might look like he’s taking it well, but deep down he is lonely and lost, but feels like taking care of the others around him is his responsibility, resulting in a facade that isn’t even that hard to break. having all of it to be so personal really drained me, but it was definitely worth it - being able to express yourself unapologetically and have others hear it feels very good. 

J:  What’s your favorite fanfic trope?  Have you written it?

Not sure if it’s a trope, but having characters go through trauma that changes them in irreversible ways, but as time passes, they learn to find solace in their current situation, to live with it and grow from it - i think that’s very neat (and also the reason why i cling so hard onto post-vento settings. plently of growth to be done). and why yes i have written it, all 3 of my currently published fics have elements of that concept.

YOU GUYS I JUST HAD SUCH AN AMAZING IDEA FOR A SEQUEL TO ‘A BRAND NEW DAWN’ THAT WOULD BEAUTIFULLY PULL ON SOME THINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL FIC AND GIVE THEM SUCH DEEPER MEANING AND IT WOULD ALL FIT SO WELL WITH THE END GOAL THAT I WANTED TO WORK TOWARDS AND WITH THE FEW SCENES I’VE ALREADY FORMED IN MY HEAD OHMYGOSH 

LIKE SERIOUSLY I JUST GOT HIT WITH SUCH OVERWHELMING INSPIRATION WITH THIS IDEA THAT I LITERALLY FROZE AND SAID “HOLY SHIT” YOU GUYS THIS COULD BE SO GOOD, THAT WAS SO SIMILAR TO HOW THE ORIGINAL IDEA FOR ABND HIT ME

AND I’M SO MAD BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND START WRITING IT RIGHT NOW AAAAHHH!!!
