I have 5 on my desktop and at least 3 others hidden away in other folders as to not clutter my desktop. My current goal is to finish as many of these as I can before I begin any new long-term projects.
19. any new fics to start next year
knowing me, I’ll probably come up with something (and no, the one we were discussing earlier does not get to be in this list).
23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t
I’d rather not say, because I have a tendency to hold onto ideas for years before I finally write them. so if I share something here, someone else could totally steal my idea before I have the time to write it!
OH SHIT I HAVE ONE MORE FOR YOU. i know you haven't known him long but pls do Claude von Fire Emblem
Oh, okay thanks Joos love you too
question from this post
favorite thing about them - his design and personality, tbh
least favorite thing about them - I haven’t known him long enough to have any strong dislikes yet
favorite line - I don’t know there are so many good ones?? his VA kills it, I swear
brOTP - him x any of the Golden Deer
OTP - I can be lame and say him and Byleth, because...yes
nOTP - do I look like I’ve discovered one yet
random headcanon - oh man I don’t know, I just think that he’d be a super cuddly fella and would definitely give hugs to everyone as they all get older and start having families and stuff. everyone’s kids love their fun uncle Claude (oftentimes more than their own parents), but they don’t quite get that he’s got a Lot going on and being a hugger is a way to give himself some comfort and make others happy
unpopular opinion - everyone loves Claude I don’t have any
song i associate with them - I do not
favorite picture of them - the one where he’s winking you know the one, he’s so sultry I love it
for that characters post do your boy kaito and your girl maki, and then to switch things up do Kjelle Fire Emblem
of course you’d ask all three of these
questions found at this post
doing them in order, so starting with Kaito!!
favorite thing about them - I hate how aesthetically pleasing this disaster human is, but damn it he’s easy on the eyes okay once you get past the bright colors and all that
least favorite thing about them - the fact that he’s part of that clusterfuck known as chapter 5 and people wrongly interpret him because of that
favorite line - the impossible is possible! all you gotta do is make it so!!
brOTP - him and Shuichi? is this even a question??
OTP - IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION?? but seriously I would die for mmhr thank you good night
nOTP - pair him with Kok//ichi one more time I swear
random headcanon - in a non-canon setting, Kaito isn’t as much of an overly positive guy, but that’s because his damn point gets across a lot easier when it’s not do-or-die for everyone!
unpopular opinion - Kaito is actually a good character and no amount of derailing him to make others (cough cough look at chapter 5) look better should be able to do damage to him.
song i associate with them - if I said any other song I’d be lying
favorite picture of them - there’s too many but a joke answer is his sprite with the thumb up, you know the one
okay that’s him, Maki time now
favorite thing about them - I would literally die for one Maki Harukawa?? I cannot pick one favorite thing about her, I love everything from her design to her character development to her personality
least favorite thing about them - the way the fandom treats her
favorite line - do you want to die??
brOTP - her and Kaede, or her and Shuichi, or both!
OTP - see my answer for Kaito, it’s the same
nOTP - look, I don’t really think of shipping her outside of, like, Kaito and maybe Kaede or Shuichi if necessary, anything else would fit into this category
random headcanon - contrary to what...a lot of the fandom seems to think, Maki really doesn’t like children and has zero desire to have her own, even though they always love her and she could easily find a hunk of a man to have them with.
unpopular opinion - Maki is the best character in v3, and maybe the series, and her development is paced perfectly
song i associate with them - gonna be real with you, I can’t think of any songs other than the one I put for Kaito
favorite picture of them - oh shit I don’t know, they’re all perfect?? here’s the one I had signed by Erica Mendez, though
last one!! time to switch to FE and answer these about Kjelle!!
favorite thing about them - her design, full stop
least favorite thing about them - her lack of respect in the fandom
favorite line - it isn’t her saying it, but Severa’s line about her abs has lingered with me this long and it’s not going away
brOTP - her and Owain, because...yeah, it’s a romantic support line but the whole...potential relation thing...
OTP - do I have one? probably her and Severa tbh. a close second would be her and Laurent, but
nOTP - I don’t think I have one?
random headcanon - no matter who her father is, Kjelle is not afraid to tell him what’s up if he even starts slightly getting degrading towards women, and she can and will out-work any father she may have. what a babe.
unpopular opinion - she’s my favorite second gen FE:A character, isn’t that unpopular enough?
song i associate with them - because of a fic I wrote, this song
favorite picture of them - her official art where she doesn’t have her armor, like swoon
i’m a bit late, but here’s some of my favourite pics from last weekend’s denver pop culture con! it was such a fun adventure! i had a blast being himiko alongside my best friends, kaede and shuichi.
please feel free to reblog and tag yourself, or lemme know if you see yourself and i’ll do it!
that's a nice ask game ya got there, you should do 5, 6, 20, and 54
I am incapable of making these answers short and sweet.
5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most.
I like to think that I have a pretty unique style when it comes down to it--sure everything I’ve read has probably influenced me here and there, but I think that if you asked me to write something from the heart, my writing would be different from anything you’ve probably read. With that being said, though, catch me emulating different novels/writers’ methods of storytelling for the sake of experimenting with it. I’m always down for emulating authors.
6. Favorite character you ever created.
Probably Signel the cat, who went from being a cat from joke stories to an actual human-ish character with a backstory and a life outside of the humor stories he was from. Yes I named all my online accounts after this character, I have always thought he’s neat.
20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.
(I haven’t touched this story since, like, July but I’m gonna get back into writing it here real soon, heh. so here’s, uh, the first four paragraphs of what we know as the parasol whipping fic?)
Every time Maribelle had set foot in that dressing room thatday, she had been incredibly mindful of the oversized mirror that took up halfof one of the walls. She’d admired herself in it over and over again, makingsure that her hair was perfectly in place, that her dress was positionedexactly how it was meant to be, that her makeup hadn’t smudged, and so on. Itwas where she and everyone in her wedding party had taken countless selfies asthey were getting ready, and it was where they had put the finishing touches ontheir attire before considering themselves as good as ready.
So how was it, after a day of using the mirror like it wasintended, all she had to do was step foot in the room for it to hit the groundand shatter, sending glass flying everywhere, into her belongings as well asthe last few things the other ladies had left in there. “Oh…that’s not good,”she managed to say, examining the damage as she hiked the front part of herperfectly white dress up, making sure she didn’t rip a single inch of thefabric with the glass that was now scattered all over the floor. “It must havecome loose somehow during the day, but for it to fall now of all times…”
“Was that the mirror?” Coming in behind her immediatelyafter the loud crashing sound had stopped ringing in Maribelle’s ears, Lissagasped when she saw the now-empty spot on the wall. “Gods, it was! Maribelle!That’s bad luck, you know that right?”
“I’m aware of it, although I don’t believe a word of that‘luck’ nonsense. We get what we deserve in life, and no objects can controlthat. Especially not a broken mirror.” Looking down at the largest piece of themirror that hadn’t shattered, Maribelle could see her reflection staring backat her, her heavily-painted face looking like a runway model or perhaps for acostume, but definitely not for the average person getting married. “Besides,if we’re going to speak of ‘luck’, then I think today would be considered myluckiest day alive anyway, any mirrors be damned!”
54. Any writing advice you want to share?
You’ll never get any writing done if you don’t tell yourself you have to write. Plotting’s great and all, but what’s a plot going to do for you if you never bring yourself to actually write! You may think you’re not good enough to write what you want to write--and that’s okay! Just keep writing until you’re at the point that you can write your dream story.
I’ve been writing fanfiction for 11+ years to better myself for the story in my head. You won’t improve overnight but you won’t improve at all if you don’t make an effort.
this is a hard ass question because i could probably find a way to justify every part being my favorite, but honestly i think stone ocean is my favorite just because i loved jolyne and foo fighters and also the end of the part just, like, Got Me or whatever. SBR is definitely a close second though because i really loved the way johnny and gyro are characterized
11: How did you get into JJBA?
i had been seeing gifsets of it all over while part 3 was first airing in like 2014 or whatever, and finally decided i wanted to watch it when the last couple eps of part 3 came out and everyone collectively shit their pants over DIO interrupting the opening in the last episodes, tho i didn’t get around to actually watching the anime until i visited my friends in seattle and we marathoned parts 1 and 2 together over the course of a week
18: Who's your favorite Jojo?
this is just as hard as the first question smh but probably my good good son josuke, just because he is a sweetheart and my son and i love him. gappy is also ending up pretty good though but i’m not caught up with part 8 yet so i cant say For Sure
20: Who's your favorite villain?
shit idk probably pucci? just because he had the like most ridiculous backstory and plan and he was gay with dio and all of stone ocean was so good and ugh. i also just really like dio though.
