Hi 💕

I am here for the fic titles asks and would love to know where the I wanna be your lover came from ? (Cause I always read it hearing the prince’s song in my head) <3

hi to both of you! <333 @fruityreads

well, @thundermartini you'd be correct lol i wanna be your lover is from the prince song! originally if i remember correctly it was just called "lover" but when i made the gif i didn't like how the typo looked with a short title lmao. so i changed it to "i wanna be your lover" bc the song is a banger and the typo looked better 😌

i continued the lover/love theme for the other two chapters (rip). lover, lover, lover is a leonard cohen song but i've always liked the cover by david blue the best (joni mitchell sings backup on it <3). just crazy love is a fleetwood mac song. most of my favorite fleetwood mac songs are christine mcvie songs and i think the lyrics described joel in that chapter.

fic title ask game <3

66 and 73 for the fic ask game please!!! 💖

hi <3

66. when have you felt the most confident in your writing? 

probably never lmao i am extremely insecure

73. how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

i'd say it's more like a video game to me in the way that i can control the scene. i can see it all, but also look around and zoom in in places.

Hi babes! Hope you’re doing well💕 14 & 24 please for the ask game 🥰

hi lovely! <3 thank you, i'm doing good! i hope you are as well 🫶🏼

14. where do you get your inspiration?

mostly from music and tv/movies! or sometimes it all starts with a specific vibe. for example in pornstar!joel it was 70s music. i was listening a lot to can't buy a thrill and in my head joel is a steely dan fan. i had also just finished the second season of minx. then the vibe i had in my head was summer, heat, exhaust from the LA freeway, yellows and orange, cigarette smoke, sunsets etc. and then i just built from there. sometimes the story is much more about evoking the same feeling a song gives me, or it's like i see a specific color in my head that gives me a specific feeling that i want to bring into the writing. it's a little strange lol

24. how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

i honestly don't get this feeling anymore. it might be bc of my field of study is a creative one, and i'm used to always having to come up with ideas? i make something every day even if it's small. and i don't think i can ever go a day without making something. to me creativity is a habit, it's not a feeling. you can feel inspired, but you can't feel creative. that's something you do.
