Jo of @jolapeno fame continues to be a wonderful and lovely person with this fun little way to celebrate the end of the year. We writers love to yap and toot our own horns, so thank you, Jo, for activating that swift rush of dopamine.

they say write the stories you want to read, so here are some of my most self-indulgent moments of the year:

big hugs and kisses to the following for tags: @jolapeno @almostfoxglove @iamasaddie @jeewrites @kedsandtubesocks @ak-vintage @morallyinept and @sp00kymulderr

(some) Favorite Fics:

i definitely didn't write as much as i wanted to this year, but here are some highlights i return to when i need a boost.

part 3 of bloody kisses: cinnamon boy

Shane "Dio" Morrissey/Tim Rockford @perotovar is the most gracious figure alive for letting me play with their dolls. I read the first two parts and something in my brain was electrocuted. These two mean so much to me and as the first mlm fic I've written in literal years, it was such a pleasure to expand on Erin's characters and their dynamic.

lover, share your road

Joel Miller/f!reader this is probably the number one thing i loved and hated about 2024. Joel is such a complex character with such nuanced behavior, he's very overwhelming for me to write and really get that "Joel tone". Furthermore, bc I write Pedro's specific Joel, I really try to replicate the accent he uses, which is not as Southern as Game!Joel. In any case, I'm really proud of this AU that hopefully manages to feel the same and all together different. I know I can get in my head about these things, so I really appreciate your patience!

iron and charcoal

Pero Tovar/f!reader there's just something special about this fic for me. i often have these big lofty ideas for multichapter fics that stretch to 90K+ but who has time for that?? this fic was an encapsulation of what i want to write more of: throwing the reader into the middle of the story, with enough history and an established relationship that the stakes feel important and real - but it's literally just a oneshot. (and of course this fic inspired me to outline a ten chapter fic, but sometimes i can control myself.)

Hi!! 💕 for the fruit asks!

🍊🍑

Please and thank you! 🙏

Fruit Fic Ask Game!

Taylor! Hi friend! 💚

🍊 Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

I want to get back to some of my Pedro Boys. 😖 Especially Marcus Moreno and Ezra and Marcus Pike. I just need to sit down with them again and see where I'm at. 😏 Otherwise, I struggle writing Ghost/Simon from CoD- I don't have any individual fics with him yet. I want to, but I have nothing that's really sparked my thoughts yet beyond having him in addition to at least one other character. But I'll have whole bits of him in some of my universe-building fics, when I get there. Eventually. Maybe. I'd also like to write more Price x OC, but again, he'll get parts in my universe fics, so I'm okay with it right now. (And Useful Girl is still giving me fits.)

🍑 If you could make a connection between your favorite character and another work you care about (whether a crossover/fusion or a wonderfully “pretentious” literary reference) what would it be? How would it work?

Ooh, this is challenging to think of. I think it'd be interesting to put Pedro's characters and CoD together, especially the civil servants - Moreno, Pike, Peña, (I know I'm forgetting some). I don't know how I'd do it though, but that's going to noodle in my brain now lol.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers 💗

(also LOVE your theme!!)

Oh, thank you, Taylor! Hm, five things that make me happy?

My cats. They're insane and ridiculous but I still love them a lot.

My bed. It was handmade by my great-great-great grandfather. It's small but it's so beautiful and comfortable.

Live music. I love music in general but there's something about sitting in a room with others who just love the artist you're seeing and listening to it wash over you like air.

Oreo cookies. I cannot explain this but it's, like, default comfort food.

My friends. Online and off. I'm not sure I'd still be here without those people.

For the character asks!

👻👽💔

For either Jack Whisky, Dieter, and/or Oberyn - dealers choice!

hello, thank you so much for these!! i'll just do then all haha

👻 - what scares them

jack - kinda clichee but falling in love with someone most likely. he doesn't want to go through the loss of a loved one again. for something more physical I see him being an absolute whimp about anything horror for some reason. like haunted houses? hell no.

dieter - I see him being terrified of snakes. probably got something to do with a trip gone wrong and him having hallucinated a giant one in his room

oberyn - besides losing his loved ones/his family getting hurt, I don't really think Oberyn is afraid of anything to be honest.

👽 - a headcanon about a weird quirk of theirs

jack - he just has to have his cowboy hat on or he'll feel naked. would probably wear it in his sleep if he could

dieter - less of a quirk maybe but will absolutely check any hotel room/anywhere he stays for hidden cameras and stuff. he ain't gonna be caught doing shit

oberyn - rarely ever calls his lover by their actual name. he always has some sort of nickname ready for them that he uses instead of their real name

💔 - an angsty headcanon

jack - i imagine he has a picture of his highschool sweetheart hidden at home somewhere that he takes out every once in a while just to remind himself of the pain.

dieter - probably knows he needs to get off the drugs and all of that but he just can't bring himself to. either because of other people influencing him or because he really just feels like he can't get out alone

oberyn - definitely blames himself for the death of his sister elia. like 100%, he puts all the blame onto himself for not being able to protect her like he could have back in Dorne and the pain and guilt of it all sits pretty deep

send me one of these 🖤

Hi! 👋

For the Get to Know Me ask game:

4 and 59 please!

(are logged that post and promptly fell asleep like an old lady lmao)

4. what are you looking forward to?

getting this semester over!! i have officially been a college student with two jobs for a week and it’s kicking me up and down the block 😂

59. why i joined tumblr

so fun fact! this is like my 4th blog on this site and was made purely for my tlou ramblings and honestly did not expect to like get cool with so many of y’all so fast esp since i haven’t been in a fandom in literally like 9 years lol BUT! i made my first tumblr right before I started high school WAAAAYYY back in 2010 because my friend said it was cool, she jumped ship and i planted roots lol

👀👀 what are silva’s and jake’s problematic traits (read the tags on that post and now I’m b curious)

i'm glad you asked 😈 because i think if you expanded on the story, you could make them into very morally gray characters.

to me, jake is someone who isn't necessarily interested in romance or finding someone to share his life with, he's only interested in what silva can give him physically (sex), and that's also maybe partly the reason why he didn't want to spend his life on a farm with silva when they were younger. also jake's gaze immediately goes to silva's ass lmao it feels as if he's only interested in the one thing. he might be using silva for sex tbh.

silva, on the other hand, uses his connection to jake to help his son, but i do think he's genuinely in love with jake, at least his version of love. because if you look at the ending, you could say that silva shoots jake to keep him on his farm so they can finally be together because jake would never stay with him if he had to choose but if he's hurt, he can't leave ...

Hmm, not sure i'm doing this right, but first line of a fic ask:

"Oh. Um, didn't think I'd see you here."

He said, mumbling to himself as he put his hands in and out of his pockets, folding and unfolding his arms nervously like he was suddenly self-conscious.

You held your cell phone you had in your hand, the house keys hooked onto your finger rattled, "I sent you a message I'd be coming by to get my stuff."

His hands finally found a home in his jacket pockets again, you wondered if it was to stop himself from reaching out for you. Because right now you were finding it hard not to reach out to him yourself, almost two decades together would do that.

He stood silently still in the doorway, "I miss you." he said, finally breaking the silence between the two of you.

"I know," you sighed, then tension in your shoulders heavy, "I know you do, Frankie."

first sentence game, ask away! previous entries
