For the horrible questions, 10 and 56!

10. When was my last physical fight?

It’s been twenty years, my last physical fight I was 23

56. And basically how many fights have I been in?

11….

Sordid details below the cut

I knocked my cousins teeth out when I was 5, but let’s not count that one.

There was the bowling alley fight, the middle school fight, the… three fights in high school >.>, oh four! I almost forgot about the guys who jumped me after school cause they thought I was someone else.

There was the post-breakup fight where my exes friends came over to talk and we got into a fight.

The pool stick fight - maybe don’t count that one, I was breaking it up, not getting into it.

There was the bite-fight, and the frozen paintball gun fight - and I mean my bf at the time bit me on one occasion enough for stitches, and then shot me with frozen paintballs and both times it turned into a fist fight. 😩 19 year old me had abyssal self esteem I can’t believe I stayed with him.

I had one fight at work, and I’m so lucky I wasn’t fired ^^;

23 was a stalker. It was probably the scariest of all of them, but no one died and no one needed hospitalized, least as far as I know.

Wait, 12 - my ex husband and I got into a fight when I found him screwing his baby mama in the back of the car I gave him. On Valentine’s. I was 22.

Hi Quin! I have an OC to share and also a question!

So this is my OC who I made way back when I was watching Thriller Bark and updating her Lore as I go! I've just been calling Nun (because she was about to join a convent before she became a pirate), and she's a recordkeeper for the Strawhats. She joined because she was raised for a very specific path in life, and Luffy came in and showed her she didn't have to live for somebody else, she can live for herself! And she went "okay!" and decided she was going to live for Luffy now (she'll...get there, on the independence). She's experiencing freedom for the first time and at first she's having a lot of fun with it, and then she realizes she can't really be a pacifist and a pirate at the same time, and suddenly has a lot of really difficult decisions to make! But my question: she started as a self insert, so she never had a name, and she very very quickly became her own character entirely divorced from me. So...how the hell do I name her? 😭I've never had a problem naming my other OCs that started as their own ideas, but somehow I'm really struggling on this. Any advice on how to find a name that fits?

I love the setup and background of this character - I love the things you'll be able to dive into with her as well. Even if the fates decide you won't write a word more, you've created a wonderful foundation, and sometimes that's enough on its own.

But

to your question.

Why not just name her after yourself? A homage to her beginnings. It' doesn't have to be YOUR name. It could be a derivative, an anagram, or something symbolically similar.

I'll say, I was born with a name that meant lamb, and so I don't want to use that name, or a name of lamb, but lamb can be balm, and balms and salves are soothing like aloe vera - and well, Vera's a good name for the One Piece world.

Which, you could call her Vera if you want XD but that's how I'd go about picking a name. She does make me think of Alma - a real name sure, but it was the name of a character in FF Tactics, and I get similar vibes from her and that character. That Alma was a noble and had blonde hair, so it's not similar by appearance.

What's your favorite memory?

Oh... hm... That's a tough one. Froggie coming in with the steel chair XD

Forgive me, I may have to go with a top 3 on this one in no particular order:

I was probably 12, 13, somewhere in there. My dad, step-mom and I were on a family vacation. Those, often weren't great, but we stopped somewhere, or maybe we'd made it to our destination, it's been too long.

This storm comes rolling in, and where we were, we could stand on the edge of this parking deck and see for miles out over the wide open plain. The wind's blowing, the rain hasn't quite made it to where we are, but there's lightning so active street lights are turning off because it's making it so bright.

It's just me and my dad. Watching this storm.

My dad's still here, but I've always felt like that memory will be where he goes when he's not. That perfect vantage point, that incredible storm, that one Perfect night in the middle of a craptastic family vacation with a shitty step-mom.

About, oh ten years now, I set up this Surprise Birthday party for my partner. Get all the friends sneaked into town, reservation's set, I mean, they know something's up, but not exactly what. Partner's not a big fan of their own birthday, but indulges me, cause I'm just glad they're here, yeah?

Anyway, this right bastard--this absolute ASSHOLE--has me come step out from the table during THEIR SURPRISE PARTY, and gets down on one knee and proposes.

I never saw it coming. I never expected it. They're... ah, it's a little depreciating to say, but gods they just deserve someone so much better than me. Someone perfect. Someone who can give them the sun and stars and moon and mountains and I can't.

But I'm really happy they picked me anyway. Puns and all ^_^ 🥰❤️

Not really a specific memory, but just realizing one day that after years of depression, of living out of my car at times, job hopping, in and out of shit all the time, all the times I thought both me and the world would be better off without me, and then one day I realize my being alive had done good things.

I've helped friends. Financially, emotionally. I've made a difference being here, and being alive. I spent YEARS convinced I would only ever be a leech and never ever EVER was I EVER going to be anything else.

I can't say exactly when, but there's was definitely a point where I just realized that it was quite a good thing that I made it through all the shit to get here. I was a helluva a burden for a lot of people for a long time, but even then I don't think I knew how much I was helping other people just by keepin' on.

But yeah, that moment, that's a big one.

[quinloki]

Ahhh happy birthday Quin!!! I hope it was wonderful, you deserve it 💙

It was!

XD I laughed so much my body aches, but I mean, it's for good reasons so I'm not worried =3

Definitely gonna be taking it easy the last couple hours of the day, that's for sure.

Hey Quin, just wanted to hop in and share something I'm really excited about: I've been playing the HELL out of the Oblivion remaster! It was one of the first games I fell in love with as a kid, and getting to experience it again has been absolutely amazing. I didn't think it was going to hit me that hard, but the first time I launched it and the music started fading in I started crying 😭 it's such a beautiful game, unapologetically silly but still full of wonderful moments. You can tell there was so much love put into it, even as janky and glitchy as it is!

I really didn't think I was going to get as obsessed as I am, but I spent an hour the other day gushing to my girlfriend about the architectural styles of each city and both their fantasy and real world cultural influences, I'm in deep akskaksk

\o/ A while back they did a re-release/remaster of Grandia 1 & 2 and I was just tickled pink. I had the old discs, but they had loading glitches >.< so it had been quite a while since I got to play. The remasters were the best thing to just randomly happen.

And that led into Suikoden 1 & 2 \o/

I feel so spoiled xD

Oblivion isn't a game I ever got around to playing, but I can appreciate the energy and joy you're having right now =D And I'm glad you're having fun with it <3

>.>

do you have a favorite bit of architectural lore/knowledge you are willing to share?

You've done it before

Hi Snail, I just wanted to say I'm so glad you're getting so much positivity in your ask box today, you really deserve it 😊 You're immensely talented and kind, and honestly your writing has had a really positive effect on my life.

Back in early August I sent you an anonymous ask where I mentioned I was nervous about posting my fics to Tumblr, and your encouragement is what pushed me to finally be brave and start this blog! I've wanted to thank you for that, because posting my writing and interacting with this community has been absolutely wonderful, and every day I'm so glad I took that step. So thank you so much, Snail! 💙💙💙

I don't know what to say, but I'm going to try.

First of all, thank you so much for this ask. It's really nice to have so much positivity in the ask box lately. I did take a mini break from Tumblr after the asks got nasty, but I am back and in full swing again. We don't let a couple bad asks remove all of the sunshine. Just a few clouds that fall away in the breeze.

Secondly, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I follow your writing and your account, and everything you produce is simply gorgeous. Your creativity is unmatched, and you're truly a blessing on this community. I am so glad you're writing and interacting. You're extremely talented, and I adore reading all of the fics you've been writing.

Thank you for sending me this little bit of sunshine with you. I can't wait to see where the writing takes you, and thank you for choosing me back in August. I'm just so incredibly moved, you have no idea. Such love for you 🖤🖤

Hi Quin! 🐇 and 🕯️ for the ask game?

Do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?

Oooohh... Reader Inserts - I love OCs, I love them. I don't mind writing them at all - I plan on writing some stuff for Quill soon certainly - but I definitely love writing reader inserts the most so far =3

One a scale from 1 to 10 how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?

Oh I loathe editing, can I go with like, a zero? lol I really hate editing.

If I'm editing I'm not writing. Editing your own stuff is so hard cause you know what you MEANT to say, so sometimes your eyes just gloss over.

I have found that having something read it to me - just the program's default text to speech - makes it a lot more bearable. But I still dislike it.

My mother loves editing, if she could edit as fast as I write I'd just ask her to edit everything. But she reads very slowly - which is what makes her a great editor. She helped me clean up my original series some decades back and it made the whole process a lot smoother.
