Walking the BPA trail on a windy and cloudy day, was hoping to catch some fall color but it's still early and hasn't changed much yet, still a nice walk and got some decent shot on my Fuji~ #pacificnorthwest #pnwlandscape #earlyautumn #bpatrail #powerlinetrail #washington #itsthejourney #chasingfallcolors #pixel2xl #cellphonephotography #lumacaphoto #mycameradiary #washingtontrails #washingtonhikes (at BPA Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AGrOqguwI/?igshid=12ps1ffd6fm9y

Learn from failure instead of letting it defeat you!

People don't like perfect, because what's left to achieve?

Better to be an 85%'er who can touch 100 every now and again

and Here We...go

So! The bitty series that catalyzed this massive landslide of ideas in ma brain is a fantasy AU EPIC (my weakness is that mf tag)! Me and a special someone who wishes to remain anonymous (but still deserve to have it acknowledged that this isn’t solely my own brainchild) were bouncing ideas back and forth after the writing of my Golden Sand Shinso/Hawks one shot. I hit publish and then...they were like, ‘whoa, hey, check this out...’ and proceeded to give me an outline based on fucking precious metals...*blows on mic* PRECIOUS METALS!!! 😳🤯 brain blank then ‘splode.. It shall be dubbed, the Metallurgy Series...mwahaha (as soon as I write the second multichaptered set lol)

THEN! well, wait...this story happened first...*facepalm* 🤦‍♀️ 😬 *ahem* The --first series that actually started it all and has fallen to the background because of the excitement of my love the fantasy AU is my ‘What Had Happened Was’ series 😁 I adore it because it has my original OTP and now my OT3 haha I mush-ed them together because I could! little background: 

I started in fandom because irl, I related to Shoto and Midoriya. Then, for fanfic reading purposes fell in love with Shoto and Katsuki. Read an exorbitant amount, I hope no one ever sees my screen time for my grief depression during that time. ALL FANFIC 😬 Anywho! I didn’t want to start there, that was too popular of a ship for me. I shy. So, I went to my next favorite character, Hawks. So, my mind went crazy with the possibilities, wrote a few stories for them to get my feet wet. Those fics are super amateur and I’m embarrassed by them (but of course still love them, they are my little brain nuggets after all) Now I’ve gained a skosh more (I’m being realistic and self-deprecating simultaneously) writing experience and a few friends that have helped guide me and encouraged me. So I’m not as sensitive to people who just will not or may never understand or appreciate my particular style, perspective or voice. And that’s okay! It was freeing. So then was born my Bakugo/Hawks/Shoto series heehee! 

😱 good lord, do I know how to bury a fucking lead...the reason I was so excited about the ‘What Had Happened Was’ thing was because for each of those characters, Bakugo, Shoto, and Hawks, I ALSO *drum roll* have additional one-shot ideas that take place before the events of main story!!!! 🤯 And lol okay, perhaps it's not a profound thing, but for me it was. 🥰 I enjoy that my brain stayed on this storyline and has fleshed it out to the point where I am going back in points of time and being able to deliver my flavor of feels and smut haha for each of them. AND I’m also ultra proud of the names I came up with, y’all. Imma just drop em to brag a little: 

Bakugo’s: Intentional Illusion (guess who his partner is...)

Shoto’s: Massage Benefits (guess what features prominently...)

Hawks’: Heated Interlude (...mmm) ...lol Okay, that’s all with that one. OH! and I also put all three of those into my ao3 drafts with like a few hundred words already written! So, there’s a timer...I’ve never done that to myself. And see, look! That’s me challenging myself! I never thought I would do that with this art form! huh, I just love that 😄❤️ 

And then my last one is super self-indulgent on the ...smut side haha. There are some specific kinks I REALLY want to explore, so I’m grouping them together and calling them, Sheer Pleasure. And I already have three one shot ideas that are in my gdocs! ...ahhh...feels good. 

And that concludes the outline, or messy encapsulation, of why in the fuck I’m so excited about this cresting wave of inspiration. 😭 It’s beautiful and I hope not to lose it too quickly. It helps with the few beautiful dm friends and some of the big party interactions on twitter. I’m happy to even be a small part of it haha even if I don’t gain a lot of popularity. I’m real happy in my own little corner with my BNHA boys and girls 😏😝🤭🥳🥰❤️ 

Until next time, friends, PEACE
