@baflegacy !!! I fell down the amangela rabbit hole because of your fics?! I really love your piece, if at first you don’t succeed. ofc I love all of your works but there’s something about the multiple occasions that they run into each other, bartender!amanda, and making out in the club that makes my head just 💥💥💥

[shourtcermanda]

aaaahhh cant wait to see courtrasha and amangela in plts! i feel like amangela in ur ay are the ones who bicker a lot when they go grocery shopping, like the type to argue if they really need to buy frozen pizzas or not. tommy suffers every time. -baflegacy

✏️❤️‼️ for the writing asks! -baflegacy

✏️"what are your current WIPs about?"

well. so the actives (not including the ones i've just got concepts for and haven't started) are as follows

untitled ianthony smut i've been working on since i joined the fandom. like four thousand words of build up before they even kiss. halfwheeze classic. admittedly daddy kink

untitled amangela mutual pining - angela pov, a lil angsty but not too much, you like her so much it makes you look stupid core

untitled amangela mutual pining 2: electric boogaloo - amanda pov, somewhat confident!angela, a lot of flirting

bad miracle - nintendogs fic, werewolf!chosen - basically runs through chosen grounding himself through the five senses in times where being an autistic werewolf in a loud, bright, populated place isn't always fun

untitled vague nintendogs fic that i've just barely gotten out of concept mode and into writing mode - there's an altar involved

one for me, one for you - nintendogs smut continuation of can't you see that i am not afraid? with kink exploration and negotiation and lots of fluff

a summer night's full moon - shaymien smut. like fully, this is shaymien smut. nothing further your honor

untitled shaymien fluff that might have smut eventually who knows - shaymien working on having an adult conversation <3

untitled spommy continuation in the universe of trust fall. also smut. plot light

maybe we can sleep in - nintendogs fluff with light angst, also possibly going to become smut because what else am i doing

untitled nintendogs fic about gender exploration

i did not realize that five of my eleven open wips were nintendogs until having to go through them. woagh

❤️"what are your favorite scenes from your WIPs?"

surprising no one, i really love writing hurt/comfort, especially light on the hurt and heavy on the comfort. what love did then love does now, not to me not if it's you, love is an action, etc etc.

‼️"what has stayed consistent across all drafts?"

so. one of my personal flaws. is that i do not draft. rather, i suppose i do, but just a single draft. and i work with it til it's done. i never do rewrites or a lot of removals. i'll move stuff around in the document, but i've never been someone who can do the multiple draft, rewrite the whole thing, finished in parts kind of thing. i go from draft 1 directly to line editing. so, like. all of my fics stay consistent across all drafts. because there's only one draft lmao

[glass-windows]

if you’re still open to taking requests, i would love a ‘mistletoe in a christmas party’ fic with any of the love is blind ships (amangela/shaynse/courtrasha) love your writing btw!

-baflegacy

i decided to go with courtney and arasha for this as i have been wanting to write courtney for a LONG time, but i intend to also write more for amangela and attempt shaynse in the future, so keep an eye out for that if you wish!

hopefully this isn't too rushed (it definitely is to some degree), i wanted to get something out before the end of the month. thank you for the prompt <3

Tell a Million Stories (1.1k)

There is no denying it anymore. Arasha likes Courtney and she has for months. Arasha is not used to keeping her feelings locked away for this long, so it is about time she does something about the butterflies fluttering in her stomach before her insanity drives her off the edge of the cliff. Not even her closest friends now about her little crush, let alone the people here. Arasha cannot handle it for another second.

Arasha sneaks Courtney away for a private gift exchange during the Smosh holiday party.

Amangela Writer Appreciation Post!

I'm feeling a lot of things right now and I've decided to write what I like about my Amangela writer friends' writing. I often forget to leave comments on their work because they are GOOD at what they do, and I often forget I'm in the middle of reading good writing because it just exists (something something baby fish asks mommy fish where water is only to realize they've been swimming in it the whole time). Can you believe they do this for FREE? And share it with us just because they want to? They are GIFTS to the community.

It is such a privilege to be in the same creative sphere as these people and I need to express Emotions or regret not doing it. They inspire me everyday. Here is a public declaration of love, hope y’all are okay with that. Ramblings under the cut, because it goes without saying, this got really long.

@okiankeno is so imaginative with their writing. My Teeth, Your Neck is impressive with its incorporations of many elements that are familiar to Smosh and Amangela while throwing them into a fantastical, supernatural universe. I haven't watched Buffy, but their writing is so good at making this fantastical world feel lived in. The world just seamlessly slides into the way they write character motivations, making for strong characterization and dynamics that have me INVESTED. That Maia/Valerie twist? Screaming. Crying. Throwing up.

@babychosen is wonderful at dropping Amanda and Angela in situations optimized for maximum tension - which is clearly seen in first time that i met you (i didn't have a damn clue) and you could be bad (but i wanna find out). I love how she crafts her plots, keeping me at the edge of my seat for what comes next, which is driven forward by the way she writes dialogue - natural to the situation as it captures a range of emotions: awkwardness, uneasiness, attraction and just all the quirks that come with forming relationships. Her writing is so fun to read!

@sage-lights writes fics that are short and sweet, but they pack such a powerful punch. With just a few words, she's able to tell a story that contains the energy of a multi-chaptered fic. This is especially true in sometimes i hold you closer (just to know you're real). LIKE HELLO. I was on the road when I first read it and it had me spiraling for a good few hours. She also captures their voices very well. They also capture the tenderness of Amanda and Angela in such a specific way. One of my favorites is met you at the right time (this is what it feels like), capturing the intimacy of two women who earnestly love each other, beyond romance.

@xxsuicidalravenxx 's writing explores the inner turmoil of being drawn to someone while having a lot of insecurity about your own place in other people’s lives. You know I'm such a fool for you (you got me wrapped around your finger) captures something so incredibly real about the anxiety that comes with a murky and under-communicated relationship dynamic based on unfair assumptions about both herself and how Amanda feels about her - which ultimately is a reflection of Angela’s own self-worth which at this point isn’t the best. It’s so real, god - the self-sabotage and all that and slowly realizing that the people around her care more about her beyond whatever mistake she believes she’s made. Also just - all Chamangela dynamics are excellently written here. It’s a gift.

@unknownteapot is masterful at her craft. I've said it before - their writing is so cinematic.  I can see it clearly in my mind - so good at painting clear pictures of where the characters are in the story. It's dramatic, tension-filled and just excellent writing all around. Several minutes of my life have been spent reading her fics. I feel comforted whenever I read her stuff, it gives the feeling of hope - that things will be okay even when it doesn’t seem that way. I remember when sweetheart dropped in the Amangela ao3 tag and thinking WHO is this absolutely talented writer that came out of nowhere (to me lol), but now I can't imagine this little community without them.

@shesmore-shoebill is so good at capturing Amangela vibes as we see it. Like it truly feels like they've broken down the dynamic into its bare essentials which enables them to produce fics that I can vividly HEAR.  They also just infuse a lot of tenderness into the way they write Amanda and Angela, whether it's in a joke or in like genuine moments of checking in - both demonstrated very well in empty space and Joint Custody (Hey Siri). Also, you just know they're a good writer without reading any of their fics because they are already so articulate in how they write commentary on videos when they aren't even trying to write a story, so when they do have a story, it just hits even more. So good.

@skiespeaches has authored one of the hottest, tension-filled fics I've read in my god damned life. From the first chapter of The devil is in the details I was screaming over how THE FUCK they were able to make just ONE KISS feel like THAT. Also, really really really love how grounded this is in the way they write dialogue and internal thoughts. It captures the pleasant feeling of realizing just how much you like someone and receiving some cues that they might like you back. It captures actions you take because of those feelings that can get in the way of communicating what you really want, the emotional tentativeness that comes with not wanting to bear your heart completely quite yet - yet there is a willingness to see where it goes, hoping that it does come to that point. The entire fic feels like the most emotionally charged scene of a slice of life movie - which is literally my personal favorite genre.

@ghoulishhgayy - famed author of hit Amangela fic Oil Burns had me invested in a situation that I personally haven't read a lot of in fanfiction. The spirit of their fics can be boiled down (haha get it) to the way they write about two women who deeply care about one another unconditionally supporting each other through difficult times. That's the kind of shit I eat up, and it's done so excellently. They just also write in a way that just makes being in love so appealing. They capture the moment of oh in Oil Burns so well that it has me gnashing my teeth, gnawing at the bars of my enclosure etc etc.

@wlwsmosh manages to get to the heart of a story in a few words. It's actually crazy and I’m in awe of their talent. There is a lightness to their fics that just makes me smile so much while also like having some really smutty scenes, which is so dang impressive - balancing sweetness and steaminess really well while also feeling very much like Amangela. My favorite from them are when i call the shots, you call me mommy which I think feels so much like Amangela voice and humor, while also placing them in a relationship and kink context. Honestly, all of their fics are gems.

@baflegacy is so GOOD at putting Amangela in the silliest of situations (heck, situations that are very much based on what we have seen in canon) and teasing out its potential romantic through line. They have a way of capturing emotions that accompany these situations in a way that just shoots you straight to the core. They write tension so well, and are so good at keeping me engaged with what's about to happen next. All of their works are GOATED. I, however, am extremely biased when I say that my favorite is their birthday gift for me - too good (to deny it) - aka one of the best angsty pieces of writing I've read in my whole life my GOD.

@cuecrynsleep is so!!!! A newer friend whose first fic in the Amangela tag I fell in love with immediately (Being Transparent). It was so simple, but captures Amangela’s adorable nature within the context of a romantic relationship REALLY WELL. I’m also just out here eagerly awaiting every post from Reconnecting the Past, which is a chat fic - a format that I rarely like the execution of, but damn I love the way they’re doing it here with the added bonus of the Changela, Arangela, and Shourtmanda dynamics which is just feels absolutely right. I’m out here thinking what are they gonna do next. They are so good at building intrigue and I’m just here sipping my tea and thinking in my head that I sound like some pathetic fuckboy sexting going “and then what?” because I am seated. I am sat. 

Anyway, if you’ve reached the end of this post - go support these writers!!!! Make sure you let them know if you like their stuff - either through a comment, kudos, an ask, a message, or bookmark. I promise you it makes these authors’ days whenever they see any kind of feedback for their work, and it keeps the community ALIVE. I am guilty of not doing that but it’s always great to try instead of not. I know from personal experience that it makes so much of a difference in their motivation to write more, while also allowing us to savor the work instead of mindlessly consuming it. Thanks for reading me gushing about all of them. Love you Amangela RPF community! Very grateful for y’all more than you’ll ever know <3

🤔🤔🤔 -baflegacy <3

ty @baflegacy! <3

🤔 What's a story you'd love to write but haven't even started yet?

SO MANY. I've outlined some of them but haven't gotten to actually writing writing, except for maybe a few dialogue ideas, bullet points of what I wanna happen, and lore.

I'm gonna name three on the basis that you sent three emojis + one bonus that I'll share just because

Jackie x Amanda musical duo AU inspired by that one Smosh Pit Theater where they try to make it in NYC. Some Hurt/Comfort.

Amanda x Angela deity AU where they are exes. Lowkey an ensemble piece that feels like so much work and characterizations to keep track of. I think I've talked to you about this but l literally have not started writing a single paragraph of this. But. They. Are. So.

While I'm still talking about Amangela, I recently thought of writing an immortal x mortal relationship set in the world of Dimension 20's A Court of Fey and Flowers.

For character fics, I have been thinking about writing a character(s) study of Edwin, Eleanor, Lenny, and Kravitz from Board AF Legacy as a family unit for the longest time. Exploring Lenny and Kravitz's childhood memories, how they see their parents, their grief over Eleanor's death and how that changes their dynamics, etc...we see a bit of it in the show but I just wanna flesh that out.

send me an emoji!
