1. what is your fav part about being in the fandom?
I think my favourite part of this fandom has always been how supportive everyone is of each other. You’ve got people who have been creating for years supporting people just starting out and everyone in between and it’s so lovely. I also adore our discord group chat and everyone on it 🩵
22. what quotes from the show you would assign to your mutuals?
I’ve basically gone for quotes from whoever they are in the discord group 😂 but here are some of my favourite quotes from each of the characters.
@georgieluz - “Yeah, now that you mention it. Except, of course, there's no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren't fucking exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah... Frank... other than that, it's a lot like Bastogne.” Julian has the same sassy attitude as George 😂
@mads-weasley - “I don’t know whether to slap you, kiss you, or salute you.” Once again I know your not Bill in the group but this is how I feel after reading each new chapter of Epiphany 😂
@malarkgirlypop - I know your Malarkey in the group but after last night this quote is your quote now 😂 “Crazy Joe McKlosky was fucking nuts, Babe, that’s why they called him Crazy Joe.”
@sweetxvanixlla - “What a fucking character.”
@panzershrike-pretz - “How could anyone ever know of the price paid by soldiers in terror, agony and bloodshed if they’d never been to places like Normandy, Bastogne or Haguenau?”
@coco-bean-1218 - “I could have shot the kid a dozen times. I just didn’t think we could spare a man.”
@whollyjoly - “I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.” I love the little smirk he has when he realises he’s gotten away with it 😂
@ronsparky - “When you talk to an officer, you say Sir” this quote needs no explanation. Your love for Ron is beyond all else 😂
@samwinchesterslostshoe - “My God damn scissors.”
@next-autopsy - “Three day supply of K-rations, chocolate bars, Charms candy, powdered coffee, sugar, matches, compass, bayonet, entrenching tool, ammunition, gas mask, musette bag with ammo, my weapon, my .45, canteen, two cartons of smokes, Hawkins mine, two grenades, smoke grenade, Gammon grenade, TNT, THIS bullshit, and a pair of nasty skivvies!” My favourite Joe quote 😂
@holdingforgeneralhugs - "We're not lost, Private... we're in Normandy."
@xxluckystrike - "Hey, Sarge, ya think I overdid it on the cover for my foxhole?"
27. what's your fav moment during your time in the fandom?
I think my favourite moment was seeing the group chat come together and everyone making new friends and meeting each other. I feel like we’ve really formed a little family which is so lovely.
For the Asks to Spread Love, pick and answer 3 that you haven't been asked already! 🧡
Hello again, bri!! Thanks for sending more of these for me! I've really enjoyed catching up on them and thinking through these today!
Fandom Positivity asks from this game here.
10. A popular character you actually really like and why.
I do like me some rare characters most of all lol. My perspective is a bit biased because I love the ones I love and I don't mind if they aren't "popular" per se. (:
LOL -- The obvious answer is Teldryn, right? But I'm gonna talk about
💫Neloth 💫
instead.
I think he's popular to dunk on because he's been a very big pain in the ass in the games for centuries to everyone who will listen to him. I mean, since the events of Morrowind at minimum. (:
Why do I like him? Because of how he's been written by myself and a few friends -- namely @thana-topsy, @paraparadigm (TOOTHPICK!), and @thequeenofthewinter.
I love to see how other people take this character and run with what we're given in text ESPECIALLY considering how ridiculous he is to deal with and his general attitude toward other living things.
For myself, where I write him as a long term friend of Nerevarine!Teldryn Sero, I love to use his character as an opportunity to talk about the struggle of redemption. How does one redeem themselves from a lifetime of difficult choices made to fit into a specific perception? Does this perception eventually end up becoming a core facet of who you are as a person? If that is the case, can you change? Are the consequences of your choices enough to make you irredeemable? Further, can you forgive yourself if change does not come easily or if you return to old behaviors much too easily?
He's a complicated one, I think, especially by the events of Skyrim. He's not exactly estranged from the rest of House Telvanni, but the connection is tenuous and fraught as the House is still, apparently, recovering from the Red Year. In Morrowind it was very much the opposite. There's gotta be a kind of grief to this shift under the uncaring, hyperfocused exterior.
He's annoying, yes, but very interesting to me, and so he's in my fic. And he's actually a huge part of the latter half of the book.
11. Recommend a fic with an unusual/original headcanon or characterisation that you loved.
OH I'm SHOUTING OUT @changelingsandothernonsense's Danger!JOSH (aka Nerevarine Teldryn Sero)'s Nerevar-as-a-parasite situation in Serious Mistakes.
This angry spirit, more or less, lives in the ring and speaks into Teldryn's BRAIN and sometimes drives the entire car, so to speak and I've never ever read anything like it, holy shit. I'm a beta reader for this particular project and I literally cannot yell about it enough.
It's a novelization of the Teldryn Serious mod which was already intriguing, but AH. MY GOODNESS the Nerevar situation.
Let me show you.
From chapter 4:
Aren’t you meant to be looking for something?
“Oh, you’re still here?” Teldryn rasped, as if saying it out aloud mattered here.
You should be thanking me.
Teldryn grunted in annoyance, he had a point, he hated it when he was right. His mouth was dry. He wanted to stay where he was. Sleep.
You can’t stay here! Get up!
Teldryn groaned. Right again – the tide was coming in, if he didn’t find what he was looking for now, then it would be gone by morning. He needed his keys. Was there an Argonian on the beach? He couldn’t remember. His head hurt. He pinched the bridge of his nose, it did little to relieve the pressure. He always overdid it on the magicka, and now he was nauseous.
It's fucking cool, isn't it? (:
19. Give kudos to someone who leaves great comments.
OH GLADLY. Here's where I shout out @polypolymorph!!!
Okay so I could pick out a bunch of comments -- or novel-length responses. Each comment turns into an opportunity for a conversation and I'm always beside myself to hear back from her.
But right now, I'm still grinning ear to ear over, you guessed it. Eyestalks. Eye. Stalks.

Awww thank youuuu so muchhhh!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷 that’s so kind of youuu 💕💕💕💕
Sorry for being so MIA lately but life’s been keeping me busy with my veterinary internship, esp clinical duties. I come back so exhausted that I just collapse on my bed and go sleep lol
Hope you’re doing good and your days are filled with adventure and contentment 💙
Have a glimpse of this little cutie below the cut who came in for cardiac tamponade and went back home being able to breathe better than before 🫶🏼🫶🏼 (nothing graphic here just a pretty doggo)
Karl has always been one of my favorite creators to watch just because of how natural he seems in front of the camera—he's very obviously in love with streaming and gaming and has been for ages!! It's so cool to see him get his break with the boys because he seems to really hold a lot of love for them and he's just a lil social butterfly, because everyone he meets says that he's the sweetest (or, once they get to really know him an absolute menace). I'm jealous of his creative mind, it's always running and coming up with really amazing ideas. He runs like there are 30 hours in a day instead of 24 and it's wild watching him jump from beast shoot to 4AM stream to 4 hour guest appearance on a friend's stream to appearing randomly in the mentions of someone I've never heard of back to beast shoots like he reminds me of my high school stats teacher who was always working LOL
He's also one of the driving reasons that dteam have come out of their shells so much, I think, and he's one of their closest friends for obvious reasons. I really appreciate how affectionate he is with them because watching him flay Sapnap open during the first meetup or watch George blossom with him and Q or seeing him and Dream all cuddled up during Twitchcon was such a treat and a testament to how he embodies comfort for the three of them (and I'm sure you could find 125870 other examples of him doing the same to others)
One thing I love about watching Punz and his community is like, theres a very natural connection between the streamer and the chat. What I mean by this is that, for me, nothing is really forced. Punz doesnt hold back when people are being dumbasses in chat but he still has many moments where he shows his appreciation and chat always shows it back. Like when he used to 'feed' chat and then chat would be filled with popcat emotes to simulate eating. Punz's streams are some of the few where I feel most comfortable.
I also wanna say he has the most beautiful smile. Like LOOK AT HIM 🥰🥰🥰🥰
