ooooh this is a good one, nonnie! lets do it :)

jordans snow day ☃️

it had been weeks since you last saw him, since you had poured your heart out right in front of him and walked out his apartment with tear stained cheeks.

you ignored his calls and texts, thinking back to the night in his apartment. thinking back to how you made a fool of yourself in front of him believing that he would actually feel the same way about you.

you were laying next to him, wrapped in his sheets with your head on your chest. right now, you thought, do it right now. what's there to lose?

you tilted your head up as he looked down at you with a soft smile, "i love you."

but instead of being greeted with the three words right back at you, you were met with silence. he blinked at you, unsure of what to say as he scanned over your facial features.

you felt your body heat up with embarrassment as you shook your head, moving to get up, "oh my god,"

he sat up with you, "wait-"

you clamored around the floor, looking for your leggings and the hoodie he had thrown off of you earlier on in the night, "jesus fucking christ, i'm so stupid."

your vision blurred as you gathered your things, tears springing from your eyes as he called out to you after tugging his sweatpants back on, "wait, y/n, hold on-"

but instead of your answer he was met with his apartment door slamming in front of him, leaving him speechless yet again. he was left with the regret of not saying it back, even if he wasn't the best with words, something, anything, was better than silence.

but there was nothing he could do now. you were already gone.

What where you expecting Rost backstory to be from Horizon Zero Dawn compared to what actually happened?

I didn't have expectations so much as I had DESIRES, none of which were met. We knew Rost was a straightlaced true believer who believed that it was right he was exiled. I basically did have in mind that he did something against the codes or whatever, in the service of what he thought was right, and was ready to take his lumps. We love that kind of shit in this household.

But it was a little on-rails for me, my wife and child were murdered, I went off lone wolf. i mean I sort of wanted him to do a big wrong that was harder to defend. Or cost other people. But that's actually not a big criticism I thought that was altogether fine.

My BIG criticism is that Rost basically gets tossed to the side by Aloy in a way I FUCKING HATE and really did color my enjoyment of the game. Aloy has this lovely epilogue about Elizabet, a woman she does not know, never knew, and will never know, who has nothing outside of fucking DNA in common with. THEY DON'T EVEN LIVE IN THE SAME TIME OR CULTURE.

But Rost? Who raised her, who loved her, who taught her everything she knew, who VERY CONCRETELY AND LITERALLY DIED FOR HER? Fuck that guy, i guess. He doesn't share DNA with me. Sometimes I swear to fuck for all we go on, around here, about how queerity queer queer queer we are and alternative families, we sure do come back to biological supremacy in a lot of the stories we write and also the stories we like. It's insane! It makes me fucking CRAZY.

She should mourn him INTENSELY. They were CLOSE AS FUCK. He adored her. I mean i get being focused on the task at hand, but the end of the story should be her actually getting a chance to cry over the man who was her true fucking parent.

how do you keep up motivation to write? i start to second guess everything and panic. howww???

It's definitely not always easy; I often get caught in blocks where I dislike my writing or compare myself to other writers. However, I've learned that the best thing you can do is push forward and not be afraid to write badly.

A professor once taught me that I shouldn't be afraid to write really terrible first drafts. Nothing is perfect on the first try, and it's that want for perfection that paralyzes us, but if we give ourselves permission to be bad, we can let go and just write. You can always go back later and fix things. Even the most experienced writers have moments where they think they must have lost their talent for writing because nothing is coming out right. Don't let that panic suck the fun out of writing.

I also found that many times, when I'm in that over-critical zone, I don't realize that I'm actually creating a lot of good stuff. I can't tell you how many times I've announced "This is garbage!" only to re-read it the next day and realize it's not. It still may need some revisions, but I was beating myself up way more than I deserved or was helpful. And even when it does have issues, being able to recognize the flaws in your story is a sign that you’re improving in the craft. As you keep going you’ll be able to fix them. I think just getting something out there is a huge accomplishment.

Sometimes if I need a motivational boost, it helps to ask a trusted friend what they like/think the positive points are in your stories. I also listen to writing podcasts (my favorite is called Writing Excuses) that teach me how to handle the challenges I’m facing and encourage me to keep trying. Or if you need a little break, read a book! It’ll help you learn while also letting you relax. And you never know sometimes reading makes you want to write!

Genesis, I know that Sephiroth's hair care routine gets a lot of media buzz, but I'm curious... From one redhead to another, how do YOU keep your locks so luscious?

Well.. You see. I use the top quality hair products. Mostly the expensive kind. I use it around three times a day. Sometimes I use my own hair products made from Banora Whites. But other than that, whenever I get done with soldier, before, and after work I'll take my shower and use them. After that I'll use moisturizer. That's about it. All Seph does anyway is use up all of my shampoo and conditioner within one shower, tch.
