PAULINE RÉNEVIER as DUCHESS HELENE IN BAVARIA

in SISSI (2021) -- requested by @pegxcarter

[minilpark]

hi :) - i was just thinking about what languages the top gun maverick pilots can speak ... and you're the first person i thought of to ask. feel like you have quite a good grasp on them (i say that as if i've already watched it. i haven't). not sure if you even do something like this 🙈

oh my god wait i feel so honoured i was the first person you thought of to ask- i'll do my best but a majority of these pilots will probably be similar

1. rooster

so in his file that appeared on screen closer to the beginning of the movie, we see he has a proficiency in spanish! i'm not sure how well he is in speaking it but he did study it so there's that. i definitely think he has an opportunity to improve if he talks to fanboy or is stationed in spanish speaking countries though!

2. hangman

concerning jake, i think he would know spanish as well. i like to think that jake's known a bit of spanish since high school, but not through taking classes, more so just passive learning through people he's met or interacted with (i def believe he grew up in texas like glen powell). he only really started becoming fluent in college and when he got stationed to spanish speaking countries.

3. phoenix

besides speaking spanish, (i think she'd already be proficient in it because i think nat is part latina-) phoenix probably learned a bit of french as well (don't ask how i know i just have a feeling) but she doesn't use it as much as she does with spanish so she's starting to forget it

another language she totally learned was asl! i like to think she has a cousin and aunt who are deaf and hard of hearing (respectively) so she learned from them and practices it often.

4. bob

now i fully believe bob was enrolled in a spanish immersion program in elementary school so he's fully fluent. his parents thought it would be a useful skill considering how common it's spoken.

besides spanish, bob learned asl in high school and continued those studies in college. he practices often with phoenix and sometimes the two gossip or talk shit through sign

5. fanboy

fanboy knows spanish, bUT i like to think he also learned tagalog too since the languages are somewhat closely related! plus he was stationed in manila for a while (my hc, idk if he actually was). he even made some filipino friends while he spent time in the Philippines and he keeps in touch with them.

6. payback

i feel like payback has been stationed a bunch of places and picked up and learned a lot of languages. however, before leaving the states he learned spanish through classes (which aren't always the best) and improved his skills being stationed in a spanish speaking country. then he learned some russian (and lost it), learned german (and lost that too lmao), and lastly he was stationed in japan for a while before going stateside so he had to pick up japanese.

i would say the only language he can speak now is spanish, but he still understands some things in the others he's learned (especially japanese).

7. coyote

i think coyote learned spanish at a later age but once he picked it up he worked hard to keep it fresh in his mind and he converses a lot with the crew too. besides spanish, i think javy learned portuguese because he has some family from portugal and he wanted to be able to talk to them without his mom translating :)

hi :)

@ your lastest text post: since lucrezia borgia is one of your favorite characters, i assume you watched borgia.

i stopped watching the pilot a few weeks ago bc there was quite a bit of (graphic) violence in it & i wanted to check in with someone who knows more about the show. is that one of it’s themes or does it subside after 1x01?

hi!! yes, i watched the 3 seasons and lucrezia will always be my vatican princess, i really love her (in all possible adaptations) <3

but i have to be honest: it doesn't get better )):

i understand that the historical period is marked by violent situations, but tom fontana has a very graphic narrative, especially towards women imo... i found myself asking several times during the episodes if the scenes were really necessary!

it's a great series, it brought me awesome moments, especially to feed my hunger for the borgia family, but there are scenes that are difficult to watch! and may negatively affect some viewers...

i hope i helped in some way <3

Hi :)

Thank you for building & maintaining this directory, it’s nice having a blog, where so many different games are collected ♥️

Yesterday I thought about a game I stumbled upon on tumblr a while ago, that had an asexual RO, but I can’t remember anything about it … besides a B (not hundert percent sure about that either), the first letter of their name. Maybe someone knows which game I’m talking about?

Was exited to discover a few games with a MC, who can be ace (thx for finding them!) – love it, that aro & ace folks are finally getting more rep in this medium 🥰

Hello!

Thank you so much, we’re happy the blog is helpful!! 

We believe the character you are describing is Blane Rekner from When Twilight Strikes by @evertidings !!

It’s always amazing to see more Aspec representation in IF and seeing character with this identity is always lovely! We thought, while on the topic of Aspec-characters, why not compile a list of IFs that have aro and/or ace characters as either ROs or non-ROs!

hi !!

i'm in the middle of updating my oc directory & i was wondering if you could help me figure something out:

are all it lives mcs human? or rather humans that have some sort of special powers but not enough that would classify them as a supernatural? bc it's been a while & i don't remember.

thx for everything you do here <3

Well I suppose it would depend on your choices! Yes, at first they are human but ilitw mc can become a ghost/shadow power creature and ILB mc can die so … I guess that makes them a ghost too?? So far, only ILW MC has powers while human tho (redfield!mc has powers, but they’re also not exactly human so). ILB mc uses some powered objects and finishes a ritual, but I wouldn’t use that as proof of them having “powers” but more as interacting w the supernatural.

hi :)

just came across „questions for fic writers“ and I’m loving the questions! I really have to pace myself here: would love to read your answers to 1, 3, 7, 10.

(was this post a sign to read the bamf!elena fic of yours I’ve bookmarked forever ago & still love the premise of 🤔)

(I mean if you want read it I would not at all oppose it 😁 (I really am proud of my angry bamf!elena fic, it's ongoing but fuck if I haven't ended up stuffing it full of all my TVD issues and how I'd like to fix them (the story actually also includes caroline's road to healing, bamf!bonnie, revenge against the salvatores, elejah with pining, bit of klaroline, rebekah getting friends and perhaps moooore *cough*bonnie*cough*)).

But as for the actual questions.

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Well that obviously depends on what kind of fandoms a particular person enjoys but... I guess as something that would work as an introduction to my writing style and figuring out if it's something that is to the reader's taste? It should probably be one of my 5+1 type fics.

Because they're longer you'd get a proper read but because it's basically a small series of related short scenes you'd also see if you'd be interested in my shorter one shots (I have wayyy more fics that are 300 to 1500 words than the longer stories).

But to narrow it down to one story.

5 Times The Doctor Talked About River Song With Graham (+1 Time The Fam Finally Met Her)

The title is pretty self-explanatory I think. But basically Graham finds the Doctor's wedding ring and it opens up the way for the Doctor to actually talk about her wife.

And the fic contains both angst and fluff (both of which I tend to juggle on equal basis), grief and some bonding between two widowed people. And outsider POV on the romance (also something I've done a few times).

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Oh boy. I think I tend to write with a very deep focus into the emotional and mental space of the character. I tend to focus a lot on describing how a character feels during the scene.

Okay, so as an example from that bamf!elena fic.

One thing, one thing. Just one thing, so that she could take another breath and not have it scorch her lungs to ash.

It was like trying to build a sandcastle during high tide. She didn’t have anything to use that wouldn’t wash her away spinning into the next wave of awful flashbacks.

Nothing. Nothing except-

She’d been free. Freed from a conscience she couldn’t afford to give up again. Free from the grief she’d never actually wanted to abandon, not until the choice was taken from her. But also free from the two brothers that had been taking choices away from her from the moment they’d come to town.

And she didn’t want to give that freedom up. She wouldn’t. Not ever again.

She gasped in a deep, cleansing breath free of pain, - just one moment of utter clarity - and moved before either Stefan or Damon expected it. One of them too intent on coaching her through her returning humanity, the other with his arms holding her in place and his head within easy reach, neither of them saw her coming before it was too late and they’d already joined her first boyfriend on the ground with their necks in the same state as his.

Then she staggered in place. Feeling the starvation that had been inflicted on her these past few weeks as the Salvatore brothers tried to get their Elena back.

Her eyes strayed toward Damon again without her consent and she felt a moment of reignited terror at the tug within her, the encroaching pull to not hurt him. She could still feel it. Weaker than she remembered, frayed copper wire instead of hard steel cuffs, but still there. The sire bond wasn’t gone. Not entirely.

“No,” she choked out and after only a momentary stop to take back her ring, was running toward the one place that might hold the information that could sever that last piece of chain. Because she couldn’t live with it in place, she’d rather go back to burning alive.

Other than this focus on the inner dialogue of the character from whose point I'm writing.

I write a lot of pining. A lot of angst that's mixed with comedy. And fluff that's mixed with comedy. And fluff that's mixed with angst.

Also. I guess I have a particular weakness for fix-it fics maybe? And I think my best stories are probably the ones that involve at least some gen elements that twine through the romance stuff.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

Well, I mostly tend to write canon universe/canon divergence stories which don't include all that much world building on my part. But there is one AU fic I'm rather proud of.

Royal Marriage Agreements and Cursed Princesses and Dragons Oh My!

It's my 'feminist fairy tale Clizzy with a touch of Malec' fic. Where Izzy's a princess who's supposed to marry against her wishes and instead goes 'fuck that' to go wake up the cursed to sleep princess and get out of it. I enjoyed coming up with some fun world stuff for that one (Magnus is the dragon btw).

10. How do you decide what to write?

Hell if I know.

My writing habits are made out of pure chaos. But stuff usually starts out with a concept or a scene.

Stuff like: what if Elena's sire bond didn't get broken but she wants it gone and what if Elena actually found out what Damon did to Caroline?; what if Henry found the ring before Hook could propose and stole it to buy his moms some time to figure their stuff out because clearly Emma and his mom are in love?; what if Kate got badly injured and Alice brought her to Mary still dressed as Batwoman? (I wrote this before Mary found out in canon); what if I go through six seasons worth of times Bellamy tried to stop being in love with Clarke while failing miserably and then gave them their freaking happy ending?; what if I tear out my own heart by writing through Monica's POV all the times she and her mom talked about Auntie Carol and what if I also add some matchmaking parent trap at the end there?

After that. There's one of two ways it could go. Either I come up with the dialogue and then add the inner monologue and description of scene around that OR I do the inner voice first and then build the dialogue around that.

And then I forget everything I ever knew about writing until new 'what if' arises and I write and rewrite stuff till out comes something I don't entirely hate.

Hey, it’s me :) Quick but also important question for FC choice: How old is the MC at the beginning or what age range are you working with? Can’t wait to read the demo later & tell you all my thoughts <3 (naomi-almeida)

Hi There! <3

I hope you are doing well today.

This is indeed an important question for MC face claims and general imaginings, so I'm so glad you asked it. :-)

I want to allow a bit of leeway for roleplaying purposes. The MC left Fernweh before their 15th birthday and has been away for /years/.

At a minimum you should be over 18 years of age for the content of the story, especially once we get into later books in terms of mature stuff, but also for the horror themes, etc.

I personally imagine the MC being in their early to mid twenties and close in age to the ROs, since in most cases you went to school with them or grew up together. I may eventually release RO birthdays and the minor age differences of them. I can’t say too much more since I am treading into a twist area :eyes emojis:, so apologies for the half answer. ;-)

I promise to elaborate a bit more at a later point and thank you for your interest!

Hi Dee!! First, congrats on posting “Nyctophobia” – I haven't read it yet, but I might as well do it immediately :D. What I wanted to ask you: The spacing between the paragraphs is somewhat huge, could you please look at that again, to make reading more comfortable? Thanks <3

thank you! and the spacing on chapter 1 is fixed now. I'll get to the spacing on chapter 2 in a lil bit <333

edit: the spacing on chapter 2 is better now as well
