“There you are, my old friend. I missed you so.”

a (surprise!) illustration for @futuresoon whose hythades fic has lived rent free in my head for 2 months so you should go read it too

😊😊📖📚➡️ an ever-turning wheel

hello! one of your drawings (uncannycookie(.)tumblr(.)com/post/151399633608/go-home-mob-its-late-inktober-day-5-just-a) inspired me to write a fic. it's a ritsu-centric fusion with the horror game yomawari: midnight shadows, and it's T-rated gen. i hope you read and enjoy it, even if you're not familiar with yomawari--it stands on its own. thank you for the inspiration! archiveofourown(.)org/works/18884941/chapters/44825392

tumblr ate the notification for this ask, so I’M SUPER SORRY ABOUT THE INCREDIBLY LATE REPLY OH MY GOD

especially since... look my art is mediocre at best and doesn’t really inspire anything so I’m currently #shook my dude. thank you. this is amazing. I don’t know anything about that game but I will definitely check out your fic 💙

futuresoon replied to your post: this seance scene in good omens is excruciating

i guess cringing for secondhand embarrassment reasons is better than cringing for the book’s racism reasons, but….why…..let it end…..

i guess i’m glad to know it could’ve been worse lmao but it could’ve been. uh. better

futuresoon replied to your post “This has nothing to do with the stuff going on on this blog rn but...”

are you thinking of "things to learn" by asidian? https://archiveofourown.org/works/10773123 that fic is GOOD SHIT

Yessss, that’s it, and it’s just as good as I remembered! Thank you!

futuresoon replied to your post “Yaaay I kept everyone alive (well except Kylie apparently, wtf was...”

ooh so there IS a hannah/marianne epilogue? did you get it by having hannah and luke take a break, hannah and marianne have a high relationship score, and luke mess up the hannah-related options in chapter 7? i was gonna try doing that on my next playthrough and see what happened

Pretty much, yeah. Though I actually didn’t have Luke mess up too badly, so I think as long as her relationship score with Marianne is higher than with Luke, it should end that way.

14, 23, 33!

yet another writing ask

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

"What's his name?" Ainosuke asks, fiddling with his father's—his, now—cufflinks and looking anywhere but at the child himself.

("adam finds out aiichiro had a very young bastard child from before he died and goes through the horse plinko" concept i've been rotating for a while now)

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

honestly it swings pretty dramatically in either direction by fic... it tends to be that whatever The Thing That Inspired The Fic is sets the tone for what comes easy to me and what doesn't, so if the dialog/character interaction is what came to me first i'm more likely to have an easier time with dialog and struggle with the connective tissue, while if i was inspired more by a certain visual or concept or theme then i'm more likely to have a fine time with description and no idea how to make the characters actually talk through it.

in general i think i do better with description, though! i tend to have favorite characters with really finicky voices to nail down (if they speak in their source material at all, the burden of a silent protagonist enjoyer) so that's more likely to be a sticking point.

33. Give your writing a compliment.

i think i'm good at setting a scene or establishing a mood, and developing clear narrative voices for my pov characters as part of that!

woe paradise chapter 4 be upon ye

director's commentary for "paradise"!

fanfic writers director's cut

so the original form that fic was going to take when i first considered trying to tackle "how would okouchi's insane skateboard cheating plot have actually played out with the genre/content restrictions of a sports anime" was a oneshot from reki's POV, starting from langa suddenly backing out of the miyakojima trip and following him sinking into denial of the gradually more obvious clues that langa's hiding something from him before getting hit with the impossible-to-avoid reveal right before he and langa are supposed to meet at the port when he gets back

at the time i figured it probably 1. wouldn't be that interesting to anyone who wouldn't recognize NTR genre conventions enough to find spoofing them with skateboarding funny, 2. wouldn't be that fun for me compared to getting to write many thousands of words of my favorite characters being weird about each other and 3. would probably come off as kind of a mean bait-and-switch and more like spite/bashing fic than it would actually be meant to be

i honestly might still write it as a companion piece if i can ever manage to finish the main fic, though, feels like it would be an easier sell as "this is paradise from reki's POV" than it would have been as a standalone
