Hola señor 🫡; 3, 7 (3's & 7's) and 26 for the music ask.

3's & 7's 😎

3. What’s the last music video you watched?

I wish I could remember! I haven't watched too many music videos recently, mainly love performances. It was probably something by the Armed though since I've been trying to pick which one I want to gif.

7. What’s your favorite album cover?

This is difficult!! I'm not sure if I have one specific favorite to trump all favorites, so I'll just add a bunch.

I've looooved Tunnel Blanket by This Will Destroy You's cover ever since I first listened to it (also love the album). Real good tone setter. The cover for Villains by Queens of the Stone Age is already top tier, but the indie edition is my favorite version. The red pops out so good and I'm a sucker for blood.

Okay so this is not an album, but Mini Mansions' "Monk" single cover is one of my favorites of theirs across the board. Bonus points because it was done by Tyler Parkford. We love in-house creativity! Floating Coffin by Thee Oh Sees is just a trip and I love looking at it.

Outro Tempo II is a collection of various artists, and Tadaima is by Akiko Yano. I own these two on vinyl because I saw them at the record store and immediately fell in love with the covers, so I have to include them under my favorites for that alone and also because I think they're both great albums.

26. What song is stuck in your head right now?

"Obscenery" by Queens of the Stone Age because I was listening to ...In Times New Roman earlier lol

Although I noticed what you announced about Anytime, Anywhere, I just wanted to say the beginning had me hooked and I'd kill (or pay) to have some plot-heavy, ongoing QOTSA fic to read. If you'll ever gather enough inspiration and energy to continue, I'm one of many readers patiently waiting here to enjoy more and also get sucked into becoming Joshtroy shipper (at least a tiny little bit lol) 🩶

Aww, thanks! It wasn't going to be plot-heavy tbh just a few chapters of smut with a little character development, but I'm happy to hear you did enjoy it. Hopefully one day I can get back into it lol

Hi, interesting list of questions! Tell us 4, 29 and 55 please 🧐

4. How do you choose which fics to write?

As previously mentioned in a text post, I have a mountain of wips. I have a terrible habit of starting things because I get inspired by a new idea but quickly lose motivation because ADHD brain likes to move on to newer things, or hit me with executive dysfunction. So, choosing what to work on is actually a stupidly difficult task because I can know exactly what I want to do and where to take it, but my hands just won’t let me do anything. Ideally though I reread something I’ve started and get that spark again. What it’ll be though, I don’t know. There’s a reason I have only published two fics (don’t even look at my OC pile).

29. What’s something about your writing that you’re proud of?

I think I’ve always been really good at dialogue? I run through conversations a lot in my head, say it out loud, try to imagine what it would sound like out of the character’s mouth (I have aphantasia so this last one can be a struggle). But, yeah, I’m usually always happy with how it turns out. :)

55. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics?  Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

I feel like this is really obvious to me when I’m reading through my wips and finished fics, but I’m drawing a blank right now. I think I fall victim to a lot of common fanfic trappings though, which is always more embarrassing to me when I’m writing original stuff.
