Ask me questions!

An eternal fave from Belle & Sebastian:

1, 5 & 12! Also I love your writing so much, thank you for being a ray of sunshine!

THANK U!!! thank u for reading!!

fanfic asks from here

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

aaahhh i liked a lot of stuff i churned out this year...i think september 2014 (oh what a night!) and the newt trying to wingman for hermann fic were my two favs. but the bodyswap one was just VERY fun to write

5. most popular fic this year

that would be hyphen, my newt/hermann fake married for academia fic!

12. favorite character to write about this year

both of my first two forays into pac rim fic (the domestic newt/hermann from nov 2017 and my magnum opus from dec 2017) were newt POV and more newt-thoughts-centric and for a while i was nervous about testing out hermann POV stuff and thought i preferred writing about newt anyway, but i’ve found that i really really like writing about hermann/from hermann pov? so while newt and hermann were obviously my favorites to write about in 2018 hermann ended up being my favorite to focus on of the two :)

Iced coffee !

thanks friend! :3 (cafe asks)

Iced Coffee : Do you like reading? If so, what’s your favorite book?

I do like reading! I don’t do it as much as I would like to, but I do have a giant stack of books waiting to be read at all times. The books I’ve like the most in the last few years have been Swamplandia! by Karen Russell and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, and I was recently introduced to Ken Kesey’s Sailor Song, which was the first couldn’t-put-it-down book I’ve read in a while. I enjoy Pynchon a lot too, but you need a good month with nothing to do to get through any of his books. I mostly read a lot of Stephen King when I’m looking for something quick and easy tbh.

Have you seen Cooking with Dog on YouTube? I feel like you might really like it.

omg this is fantastic! everything is good: this chef who loves shrimp, the omniscient dog narration, the dog just sitting there doing nothing (but somehow knowing everything about cooking octopus), the dog weirdly hitting on the girl from the other video. A+ content, thank you Japan!

6, 16, 25 for the writing meme? :)

6) something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change now 

I’d probably change how things were handled Born to Run re: onscreen/offscreen portrayal of abuse and most of the courtroom stuff. I would do a lot more cut to black and implication now but I don’t have the time or inclination to go back and figure it all out. 

16) are there any characters who haunt you? 

I WONDER who I write about all the TIME.

Also Dean Winchester, in a different canon. I ID too closely. 

 25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of

"Buck, this, right now, is not sustainable. We can't go shuttling from crisis to crisis like this. I can't spend the rest of my life waiting for a fuckin' phone call!" Steve slams his hand down on the metal frame of the bed beside Bucky, some of the anger finally spilling through a weak point, and his boyfriend flinches instinctively away from the surprise and violence. Steve can't find it in himself to be sorry, not right now. This is the part of himself he tries so hard to keep buried, the rage and the righteous fury that something is hurting someone he loves and he can't do a fucking thing about it.

Bucky blinks hard, like he's overwhelmed with everything, and then the slurred question that spills from his lips is so him that Steve wants to shake his boyfriend and kiss him at the same time.

"The rest of your life?"

"Yeah, you asshole. The rest of my life."

What are the little things from Taco Bell? Please help me I'm ignorant and European

Ohhhhh my lord, they’re like little cinnamon donuts that are filled with icing, hhhhh. I think they’re supposed to be like a little round Americanized churro (which is a Mexican dessert that’s a stick of fried dough with cinnamon and sugar on it). They also make this fried apple pie thing that’s super good. (I mean, all of this is objectively terrible because it’s Taco Bell, but that doesn’t stop it from being amazing.)

Tinderbox, tiger, stitches, anomaly :)

thanks friend! :D

(tender asks)

Tinderbox - What do you cherish most? Definitely people. There are very few people in the world who are very important to me, but once you’re in that category, you’re there forever.

Tiger - What is your bravest moment? Oh man, there are a few of these. My anxiety makes it so that a lot of things require a lot of bravery, but I’ve learned to expect and accept that as part of doing things that are worth doing. This includes talking to people, so tbh if we’ve chatted on Tumblr, I’ve probably had to talk myself up into messaging you, haha (fwiw, it’s always 100% worth it, I love the friends I’ve made here <3). I think honestly though, my bravest moments have been standing up for myself with family members. I come from an emotionally abusive family, and I’ve had a couple of times where I’ve just had to say “no, fuck this,” and walk away for my own good. It’s never ever easy, but it’s always worth it to live honestly to myself.

Stitches - What kind of clothing do you wear? Mostly very comfortable clothing! I have pretty sensitive skin, so I really prefer to wear soft things and cotton. I wear lots of jeans and soft-wash shirts or flannels, often in plaid. In the winter, I LOVE sweaters. For work, I’m usually in a button-up with a cardigan on top. Mostly cool colors, I have a lot of blues and greys that can all match together - the less effort it takes to put clothes together in the morning, the better tbh.

Anomaly - What do you find unique about yourself?  I’m not really sure, it’s hard to answer this question without sounding like kind of a douche, haha. I guess I’d say I have a sort of tenacity - without putting too fine a point on it, I’ve been through a lot of shit, and I have an awareness that I can live and thrive on the other side of that. I see hard stuff coming and I think “ok, this is going to suck, but it’s going to be over one day, and I’m going to get through it.” It’s kind of the only option we have, isn’t it? People often tell me that I seem very calm (almost too calm), even though I am roiling inside - I guess this is a strength I have, to push things aside and just survive when I need to. (oh god, that was the MOST CAPRICORN ANSWER, I’m so sorry)
