“HA HA HOW DO I TALK TO WOMEN???? FUCK. I HATE THIS. UGH???”

/FLAILINGN AHHHHH (i'm sorry i can't be helpful because i've alwasy been bad at that step, but i'm just going to be vicariously excited for you OH MY GODD~)

*INTERNAL SCREAMING* I’m horrible at it too because once I’ve established that I definitely  have a crush on the person, my entire ability to talk just *poof* gone???? I know I’m going to stutter all over her, but I’m at least going to try and get her name tomorrow.

6 and dealer's choice! :)

6. What’s your guilty pleasure as a writer?

oh, god. there’s like, three narrative tropes, in general, that will suck me in like catnip no matter what, and that is: brainwashing, amnesia, and reincarnation. I’ve written Robb/Theon reincarnation fics plenty of times already, it’s my go-to AU for them bc obviously I love exploring what happens if these two dummies get a second chance at fixing things--a lot of the time they take the same roles they used to have, but I am also kind of in love with making Robb the fucked-up one for once in his miserable life (see: GOTG AU).

also, I love brainwashing and amnesia, so it follows that Winter Soldier AUs are my favorite kind of AUs--but I do love amnesia on its own, the idea of a past that’s murky even to the character themselves, and the identity issues that no doubt arise from it. an example would be Robb Stark: I’ve had him end up with amnesia like twice. the first time, he’s just a guy who ends up working at an inn and would be deeply uninterested in being a king. the second time, he’s the Winter Soldier, with all the emotional and mental damage that comes with the package. I also have a gdoc that has Matt Murdock end up in a pseudo-WS role, so. yyyyeah.

a more fandom-specific plot would be the post-RW AUs where Robb somehow lives. I’ve written a plethora of them. it’s embarrassing how many I’ve written, what I’ve shown on my tumblr is just a fraction of them. I just really love exploring how he might’ve turned out after such a traumatic event, and he tends to turn out with a guilt complex the size of Winterfell.

also, I almost forgot: for Marvel, I absolutely dig 616/MCU crossovers. not just putting elements of 616 in MCU, but actually writing the 616 characters meeting their MCU versions. somehow they tend to get along surprisingly well. (I love comics, they allow me to indulge myself in multiverse shenanigans. sometimes sexy multiverse shenanigans.)

7. Be honest: are you mean to your faves, or do you go easy on them?

it depends! I am, for the most part, a terrible person when it comes to my faves (see: WS!Robb, the moral dilemma Matt is currently wrestling with about lying to his dad re: Daredevil after his dad comes back, the shit I’m putting Matt through in another fic that jumps off from the latest arc in the comics and ignores Secret Wars), and tend to inflict a lot of pain on them. there are exceptions, though: Theon Greyjoy’s my favorite, but he’s managed to escape the usual trauma conga line by already having gone through a lot of horrible, terrible trauma in canon. usually when he pops up in my fics he’s--well, not completely better, but he’s recovering nicely at least. one time he even got to be Star-Lord.

so I guess I’m only mean to my faves when canon hasn’t been excessively mean to them. though I suppose Matt is the exception to this rule, considering what he goes through in the comics.

When you get this, reply with 5 things that make you happy and then send this to the last 10 people you have notes from in your activity :)

This one kinda took me a while.

1) My puppies. They’re great. And assholes. And amazing. And terrible little assholes and I love them so much.

2) Putting on a new pair of socks for the first time. Sooo good.

3) When my brother and I get obnoxious together to the point where our parents leave the room or our dad tells us to fuck off.

4) The next day-2nd day post-workout sore after a really great workout.

5) Becca! Throwing head canons at Becca and her twisting them into painful head canons and squeeing over certain scenes or characters or meta. The idea that we’ll one day meet face to face and the world will never recover.

It’s kinda nice to think about all these.

tagging whoever, and messages to follow!

2, 13, 14, and whichever one you secretly most want to answer.

2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?

I like to close my eyes for a few seconds and imagine the scene in my head.  When I’m alone or have time, I like to get a small playlist together and have it playing as I write.

13. Favorite fic from another author?

Currently, my go-to-right-in-the-feels-why-the-fuck-do-I-put-myself-through-this fic is When the Bough Breaks by Niennanir.  It’s... heartbreaking and hilarious and loving and just... I want to cry and smile in equal turns while reading it.

14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?

Spock/Uhura (ST AOS)and Tyler/Caroline (TVD).

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

Oh yes.  I have two original stories that bounce around in my head most often and that I’ve started writing.  I many more ideas with brief snatches of backstory or character descriptions and conversations written down.
