tagged by my great homie @boltlightning let's fucken do this thing
Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a fic you are proud of—for whatever reason.
👵🏽 first fic: Oh Let's Smile (kingdom hearts | hayner/olette | general audiences | 6k words)
a fic that is 14 years old and honestly?? for something i wrote for an extremely rare pair when i was 18???? it kiiiinda holds up lmao
👶🏽 last fic: A Place for Us (jujutsu kaisen | suguru geto/satoru gojo | teen & up audiences | 3k words)
☝️only once: one-offs are unfortunately kind of my bread and butter lol (dupes removed)
📚 fav fic from fandom/ship with most works: Vigil (dick grayson & bruce wayne | batman (all media types) | general audiences | 235 words)
(interestingly whether this means fandom with the most works by me or the most works on ao3 the answer is the same and it's batman, lol.)
it's probably not the best one but i have a soft spot for Vigil. the prompt i was working from was "a fic i'd want to read right before bedtime," and i think i just like the muted kind of drifting-off tone it has, at least to me.
🙏 wish more people read: genfic idk my fic with the most kudos is Your hands are red from holding tight., and i'm not mad about that at all, but i think because of that i wish more people read all the other fics i've written about gojo & megumi (& tsumiki), bc i think most of them are probably at least almost as good.
😩 agonized over: now and then (jujutsu kaisen | suguru geto/satoru gojo | teen & up audiences | 5k words
this was for a reverse big bang and i was just so intimidated by the whole process, lol. i just really didn't want to let the artist i was partnered with down. also 5k is pretty long for me, i'm very much a bitch of ficlets. i think it came out pretty good?? i probably wouldn't have done as much weird stuff with the timeline if i was doing it today, but. all things considered i think it works. there are a lot of individual scenes in it that i like a lot.
💡 sprang fully formed: Three Unspoken Messages and Three Words Left Unsaid (bungo stray dogs | osamu dazai & sakunosuke oda, osamu dazai/nakahara chuuya | teen & up audiences | 2k words
i saw a tiktok that was like "there's a timeline where mori killed chuuya instead of oda" and immediately spent the rest of the evening banging out the first chapter of this in a fucking fugue state. (the second chapter was written several months later for a prompt event, so the second chapter doesn't count for this exercise lol but the first chapter was a one-shot wonder and was originally intended to stand alone, so.)
🏆 proud of: if i'm being totally honest, everything i've written over 2k words, lol. i'm really a flash fiction writer at heart so if a fic is longer than 2k i can guarantee you i worked pretty hard on it, and some of them have even come out pretty good - Oh Let's Smile and now and then, which i already talked about; Blood for Your Rude Brawls is another one that comes to mind (that's my romeo & juliet/the witcher crossover that i will never ever shut up about bc it's actually so fire).
gonna tag @arealcrow, @antique-romantic, @humble-wayside-flower, @pyrrhlc, and anyone else who would like to partake 💖
❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?
she is very loving!!! her heart was found full of love!!! it has not so far worked out great for her but the love persists, and though she is afraid of basically everything she will face those fears to protect her loved ones every time!!!
she’s generally very patient with other people and tends to give them the benefit of the doubt. even after suffering terrible abuse from her father and eventually from joseph, she still has a lot of faith in and empathy for people in general. she understands very deeply that fear can make people do insane things and she tries not to judge them for it.
she’s very good at like artsy/crafty things - obviously doing hair, since that’s what she does for work, but also things like makeup and drawing and making little knick-knacks and stuff. she tends to hand-make cards and gifts for people.
🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?
this is a neutral trait in the sense of like, it’s not her fault, but her past has made her very susceptible to Cult Tactics, hence her ending up in a cult. there is a non-zero number of red flags she will wilfully ignore because she wants to feel like she belongs somewhere, even if that somewhere is a little fucked up.
she is extremely shy and timid, which can be a challenge at her hair salon job, but she is a favorite among clients who prefer not to have small talk while they get their hair done.
she isn’t very “book smart”/good at school, which is one of the reasons she pursued cosmetology. her best subjects were math and art, but even in those she was a solid low b/high c student.
💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?
she is not immune to jealousy, especially once solevi well and truly starts up. it’s bad enough that levi is romantic with a demon who wouldn’t even be here if isaac hadn’t been killed, but the fact that clearly some part of isaac is still stuck to solas makes it even worse. think like “neither of us should be kissing this demon regardless, but if anyone should be kissing this demon it’s me” kind of vibes.
relatedly, remember when faramir was like “you wish now that our places had been exchanged. that i had died and boromir had lived,” and denethor was all “yes. i wish that”? since levi was slated for sacrifice from the moment she first met him, she is also not immune to wishing he had died instead of isaac (unlike denethor though she hates herself adequately for wishing this bc unlike denethor she actually does love levi lol).
she is more than a little codependent/clingy.
💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?
the cassidys 🩵
🧡 ORANGE HEART — does your oc tend to prioritize family or friends?
she kind of considers her friends her family bc her actual family kind of fucked her whole life up, so. yes?? lol.
💛 YELLOW HEART — how many languages does your oc speak? what language(s) are they learning, if any?
she only speaks english :,) she took a little bit of french in high school, but wasn’t very good at it and didn’t stick with it. she knows some latin phrases from Cult Stuff, lol.
💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?
inside! but she’s got nothing against being outside, especially in like Nature. mostly she just likes to minimize the chance that a stranger will try to talk to her, lol.
💙 BLUE HEART — does your oc have any cool/special powers and/or abilities? how are they with magic, if it exists in their world?
she’s got a witch eye! so she can actually see through a lot of supernatural illusions/glamor which is why one of her neutral/questionable traits is like. willing to stay in a cult long after learning just how fucked up it is, lol. she’s definitely got a little bit of “i didn’t think the leopards would eat my face” about her before isaac is killed, because the cassidys are Cult Elite, right? nothing bad is going to happen to them, and if they just have to torture a kid once in a while to live in omelas…
💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?
HWHITE BABY, ambiguously White, super pale with freckles. i think her last name is french but like. she’s just one of them White Americans. like the cheese.
🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?
she isn’t the one who actually ends up killing joseph, but she definitely helps, haha. the morningstar cult involves a lot of blood rituals and sacrifices, too, so there’s that. but i think for the most part she’s more of a crime of negligence type girly — she knows that people are being killed and being turned into horrible silent hill beasts, and she chooses to do nothing about that. thinks it’s probably a good thing, even! if joseph is turning someone into a silent hill beast he must have a good reason right??
THANK YOU i really love rotating her so much ahhh 🩵
omg i definitely want to know what obsession ive imparted on you
Is it cheating to say your OCs? Bc every time I see you tagging them on stuff my heart does the smile. Also just like, video james in general, but especially if the vibes are kinda dark, like Pathologic or Dishonored, you feel?
i'm loving all the vampire vibes love that people think my outfits are cool despite the fact that my looks are like 1. business casual mother of three 2. jeans/jorts + graphic tee/sweatshirt 3. pajamas
i have never once in my life seen the sun though literally i fucking glow in the dark i'm so white 😭
how to care for jasper: sippy cup with beer inside, frog onesie, and free reign in a bookstore
the sippy cup is so he doesn’t spill it all over the books when he chucks it across the room in rage after being recommended fuckin ayn “I hate poor people” rand’s books
@arealcrow First watch or rewatch?? I'm almost done with my second Quarantine Rewatch lol and yeah dead fandoms are just. So peaceful. Like I may never watch a show as it's airing again, I'll just get to em like 5 years after they come off the air. The only positive of a live fandom is the Exposure of my Fanfiction but idk if that is ultimately even worth it, I like having just a few folks who are really excited that I'm making any content at all.
