For the fanfic asks: 2, 4, 11, 15 and 20
2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?
Not really. Maybe if I had a ritual I could sit down and write more often, but alas, I mostly just go when I have the inspiration and wish I was writing when I don’t haha.
4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?
Love u darling *winky face*
I think anyone who can write an epic, sprawling 100K epic story is pretty impressive, no matter what fandom it is. Someday I’d like to get there, but keeping the momentum going for that long...man, I just don’t know how they do it tbh.
11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?
I once had an idea for a story where Wes and Travis had a condition where they became intangible in times of stress or depression--basically living ghosts. I really like the concept but honestly couldn’t come up with a solid story, so it never went anywhere.
15. Your guilty writing pleasure?
I can’t think of anything. I have a lot of guilty daydream pleasures, but none of them have ever been put to paper. Mostly I just write what comes to mind.
20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of
This is a hard one! I love so many passages I’ve written, but specific lines...
Okay, here goes!
1. It has been a very long time since he’s looked out a window and seen the world painted in shades of wonder; but he finds himself looking outside more and more, as though maybe if he just looks hard enough he can see the things she loves so much. - A Cage Of Gilded Thorns
2. And Travis idly wonders if it’s been so long that despite the transient nature of the hotel Wes has settled in, that Wes can’t bring himself to move.He’s different from Travis that way. Wes never learned to let go. - Smiling, with porcelain lips and glass eyes
3. “Once upon a time,” she sing-songed, running her fingers up his chest, “a little boy died, and Wes pulled his heart out of his chest and bled over everyone he touched, in the hopes that it would wash the blood off his hands." - my soul from out that shadow
4. “Times have changed, man. He’s not so bad once you get used to him,” Travis says gently.
“I will pour salt in your bike engine, I swear!”
“He’s a horrible bastard and I hate him on good days,” Travis corrects without missing a beat. - Mistaken Identity, because this little back-and-forth never fails to make me laugh
Okay but have you considered writing a Common Law MIB AU?? (PS I love literally everything you've written and fun fact your portrayal of Ace!Wes was what made me realize I was ace)
i have not! but i love the idea of this and/or x-files au (because I have talked about x-files au with @warrenkoles before)
and basically we both agree that Wes would 1000% be the Crazy Alien Conspiracy Guy who has a wall of newspaper clippings with red string and (meticulous) scrapbooks of Suspected Alien Events and literally nobody believes him and everyone around him is like “dude are you okay maybe you should go to therapy” and he’s just like “I DON’T NEED THERAPY MY WIFE WAS ABDUUUUCTED”
and travis is part of the Secret Government Organization Hiding Aliens (x-files or mib or mash-up of your choice) and his superiors are like “Agent Marks you need to Deal With This Guy because he keeps posting shit on the internet and nobody believes him but he’s surprisingly keen so if you can’t distract him from his alien fixation then make him one of us, we think he’d be an asset to the team”
so of course Wes joins the Secret Agency because he is Not Giving Up, that is Not In His Nature (but of course there’s like a thousand words of travis going “aliens aren’t real” and wes going “yes they are” and then it devolves into “no they aren’t” “yes they are” “no they aren’t shut up” “yes they ARE” because they are children in adult bodies)
and i’m super keen on the idea of an mib world because like. as far as I understand (i haven’t actually seen x-files here bear with me) in x-files there are no alien coworkers? and in MIB they are walking all over everywhere? and just like. Wes joining the agency, right, and then accosting any alien he sees like “DiD yOu TaKe My WiFe?!?!” and getting a bunch of harassment complaints and like? having to take sensitivity training and shit? that would be? surprisingly in character, actually, bc Wes is kind of an asshole in the show too but totally without meaning (which may or may not have something to do with autism and inability to read social cues but that’s another post entirely) so I can totally believe someone would take his earnest attempts to find his wife as, like, Wes being a speciest asshole and going “HE WAS RACIALLY AND SPECIALLY PROFILING ME I FEEL ATTAAAACKED”
anyway Wes graduates and becomes Travis’s partner obvs and they patrol the city doing their MIB thing and also on the side trying to find Wes’s wife (who it so happens to turn out is Wes’s ex-wife, he just never really had time to Process that before she disappeared. also alex is totally an alien, she had to go to her home planet for a while, family emergency and whatnot, it takes a while okay it’s on the other side of the galaxy, wait wes? why are? you crying? BECAUSE IT’S BEEN THREE YEARS ALEX WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOOO)
and then wes and travis can fall in love and adopt alien dogs okay, it’s perfect okay.
----
also, thank you so much?! That One Ace!Wes fic was super personal to me so i’m so happy that someone else resonated with it too, so thank you so much! I’m glad it meant something to you too!

cadmium red & azure blue :)
cadmium red; do you have a “type” when it comes to a significant other?
i just want someone i can be comfortable with. i’m very much an introvert--i want my SO to be someone i can spend time with without getting exhausted. someone i can be myself around, and they can be theirself with me, and we’re just. comfortable.
azure blue; what’s your favorite type of tea, if any?
i’m not a big tea drinker. if i do drink tea, i usually put so much sugar in it that it’s more like tea-flavored sugar, lol. but i’ve had mint tea and cranberry-apple tea at work, and with enough sugar, they were both very nice.
cadmium yellow, english red, violet, sepia & indigo ❤️
cadmium yellow; when you think of the word “happy” what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
books. i just. love books so much. buying books, reading books, looking at neat shelves of books, being in bookstores. i adore them so much.
english red; what animal do you relate to most?
oh man i don’t even know. i wanna say something cool like a wolf or even a dog, but like. i’m probably. a deer. comfortable in my rut, runs at the slightest sign of danger change, and will stand still and let a car hit me if you shine a light in my eyes.
violet; is there any place in particular you’d like to settle down?
not really. somewhere temperate, or at least somewhere with air conditioning so i can cool off in the summer. i don’t handle heat well. i think i could make myself content anywhere, so long as i’m not broiling and i’ve got my books with me. and a companion, but that’s a far-off dream so idek.
sepia; name five things that always make you happy.
1) books, buying books, reading books, being surrounded by books2) eating. food is so stressful in a lot of ways, but i love eating good food, too.3) doggies. sweet bby doggos, all happy wiggles and wanting pettings. such darlings.4) why is this so hard. why can’t i be happy. why can’t i come up with more things.5) wes. talking to wes. wesweswes.
indigo; what’s the best/sweetest compliment you have ever received?
anything about my writing being even a little good or people liking my writing makes me so happy
i might just be v dumb..... but what does gpoy mean?
“gratuitous picture of yourself”
i didn’t know what it meant when i first started using tumblr, but someone else was using it as sort of a ‘wow this is so me’ tag so i started using it too. now i’m too lazy to change it to something else lol
don’t feel dumb nonnie, i always have to look up or as about abbreviations i’ve never seen before :)
for the marvel ask meme: sam, aunt may, killmonger, brooklyn :)
sam: what makes you happy?
reading–even when a book is sad and i’m crying, if it’s a well-written book i’m in a good mood. playing with my dog. hanging out with my friends.
aunt may: who or what are you most protective over?
my dog, and my books and you
killmonger: sunrises or sunsets?
sunsets. because frankly, i’m not usually awake for sunrises lol.
brooklyn: where do you feel most at home?
my bedroom, surrounded by my things. that’s what makes it feel homey. :)
