Your tag rambling about Gene's paperwork is genuinely fascinating to me and I'd love to hear more about what the league does in its downtime (if you have the spoons for it, of course). I'm so interested in if/how he's going to tackle Paldea (especially interacting with someone like Rika who seems to be very concerned with regulations, or Larry who seems very... Lax about his role in the League besides what he's contractually obligated to care about.)

Also please don't feel obligated to answer this, I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed reading those tags!

AH THANKS!!! I DO really want to do a paldea thing with him -- something small and casual like the swsh run, not as developed as his hisui arc 🥺🥺🥺

(Larry is so funny to me because he says things like how he'd never do work he's not obligated to do, but also that he's been required to stop working so much damn overtime -- he seems to really enjoy being as mundane as possible, like gene does. I hope he's not a bad influence on gene who's been tryinggggg to get a better work-life balance KJSDHFD)

just have to make it.... through the ultra flare stuff......... just gotta -- finish this thing with lysandre that started forever and ever ago --

Your Fakir gives me life so I made some fanart of your Season 2 AU style!

It's that one part of the OG Promo for Princess Tutu

Something I was going to do with my husband in the before-times was pottery painting at a little shop that fires the pieces in the kiln for you. I'm curious if Saturation!Miles would do that with Phoenix and Trucy to make keepsakes with them.

1) That sounds like so much fun and so sweet! I hope you guys get a chance to do that sometime in the future!

2) That sounds more like a Trucy and Phoenix activity in Saturation, primarily because Miles is extremely bad at hand-crafts - it’s one of those details from canon I sort of latched onto, because it’s not something you’d expect of his character, and that leads to interesting interactions and situations. It’s why it means a lot to Trucy that he works so hard on the coin tricks she insists he learn - they don’t come naturally to him at all, but he works to perfect them anyway, because she asked him to. So he’d avoid something like pottery because he wouldn’t want to risk looking silly or anything.

As for something he would do with Phoenix and Trucy for keepsakes... well, for starters, photography! When it gets to that point, he’s definitely going to be the family photographer, as it’s a hobby he’s found he enjoys and is quite good at, and he also likes having pictures of the people he cares about (...and his Steel Samurai and Pink Princess action figure photos!). For a special keepsake for the three of them... I can see him going to one of those places where you can get your picture taken with a group of friend in old-timey clothes, or even at a professional studio! If it were a professional studio, the set-up would definitely be of Trucy sitting in one of those fancy, high-backed chairs that important people have their portraits painted in, with Phoenix and Miles both standing slightly behind it. Because being in the chair is the Power Position, and they all know who has the real power in this family. ;)

Thanks for the ask!

Canonically in Supernatural Dean, Sam, and Cas meet the characters from Scooby-Doo. Does this then mean that Miles, Phoenix, and Franziska meet the characters from the Steel Samurai?

Holy shit I forgot about Scoobynatural

Hey you’re a really awesome person and you don’t deserve all the stupidity that’s been thrown your way recently. Sending my virtual hugs and good vibes your way!!

(hugs) thank you, i can’t come up with some meaningful eloquent response to every piece of positivity i get but i want y’all to know that every piece does mean something to me!

I am certainly suspicious and concerned (and also excited!) about your ominous posting, but what concerns me the most is wondering whether I'll have forgotten about it completely by the time it gets published! Of course I'll enjoy it just as much regardless of whether I remember your posting or not, but the anticipation is killing me. Metaphorically and in an enjoyable way.

nabexis Ah, sorry if I should've added a tone indicator. I love vagueposts like that, they get me excited for the future of the fic. I was hoping the lighthearted Simpson's meme would convey that. Definitely meant it in a lighthearted way 😁

cyber-flow Given that you have had previous posts stating how you are going to give us fluff so fluffy it will feel more intense than the angstiest angst, at this point I don't assume which feeling exactly you are implying you will inflict upon us in the future XD I just approve in confusion

ooftimesone ahh im good right now! I'm nervous in an excited way, and no matter what happens I have other comfort fics (or can re read previous chapters haha)

I'm just relieved to hear that everyone's in the excited-terrified camp - as long as people are having fun with my nonsense I'm happy to provide, but the minute it stops being fun and starts being a genuine stresser, that's where I draw the line. Regular life had too much stress even before the pandemic, you all certainly don't need any more from me right now!

Gonna say this while we're on the topic, if anyone's ever nervous about what direction Saturation is going to take in this sense of things, please don't be afraid to ask me about what's concerning you, I'm pretty decent at giving the information you need to make an informed decision without ruining the surprises. I've had authors in the past treat questions I asked them for my mental health as opportunities to be vague and ominous, not being malicious but not taking me seriously either. To a one, I stopped reading their works after they did this to me, because it felt absolutely gross, and I don't want anyone to have to go through that with my writing. Maybe it's selfish, but I've been blessed with a group of wonderful, excited, interactive readers here in the AA fandom, and I want to bring as many of you with me as far as I can go in crazy endevour of mine. :)

Also, no worries about remembering all this, because the next chapter's probably going up tomorrow or Wednesday - it's all typed, I just need to do a read-through to check for typos!

Just got on Tumblr after work and let me tell you, scrolling down my dash to see the aftermath in reverse is both completely WILD and absolutely hilarious.

I'M SO SORRY.

End of year Fanfic ask number 23: fic you wanted to write, but didn't?

Less a fic I wanted to write and didn’t, more a fic I wanted to write more of and didn’t. I’ve got this one AA fic that involves post-SoJ Edgeworth switching places with Bratsworth in a humourous-hurt/comfort sort of way that I’m quite fond of - I actually started it shortly after I began Saturation! - but it’s a weirdly tricky one to write, especially because I didn’t have as good a grasp on the characters back then. I keep poking at it every now and then, though, because, like I said, I’m quite fond of it, so hopefully I’ll eventually finish and get to share it with all of you! ^_^

Thanks for the ask!
