“Nah,” Xue Yang said, not quite holding back a yawn. “If I sit down, I'll pass out, and then I'll starve to death in my sleep, and wouldn't that be a boring way to go. I'll help. You're doing the dishes after, though.”

Thank you for asking! :D

what is the name of the anime that "why am i trying to stay alive" gifset is from?

Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul

It’s the season 2 of the series. Shingeki no Bahamut is probably one of THE BEST animes I’ve seen in a long, long, LONG time. I’d HIGHLY recommend anyone to go watch it. It’s got funny, it’s got romance undertones, it’s got action, it’s BRILLIANTLY written. I haven’t seen season 2 yet but my god if it’s as good as the first one I’ll be binge watching that all weekend long.

do you have any published books that one could purchase, or original fiction hosted somewhere?

I don’t, unfortunately! To tell you the truth I really haven’t been writing that long. I only started writing fanfiction 4 years ago; before that I’d never written anything but nonfiction stuff for college/high school. I’ve got some ideas, though. It’s kind of a scary exciting thought! If I decide to give it a go I’ll certainly let my followers know. Gosh, thank you, though, that certainly helps my confidence!

“You told me that, once,” he said, and Xue Yang found himself locked in that eyeless gaze, shocked momentarily wordless. “You said the people you hate the most are those who claim to be righteous, virtuous - naïve idiots who pretend they make the world better by doing a few good deeds. People like me, I guess.”

Thanks a ton for the ask! ♥♥♥

On the ridiculously elaborate fanfiction post - you tagged it "did that once, can recommend" - which fanfic are you referring to? :D

That would be TPBoD, aka The Plot Bunny of Doom, aka The Renegades.

A Kingdom Hearts fanfic set after KH:CoM that started out reasonably canon-compliant, though later games made it au, focusing on the 6 Organization XIII members of Castle Oblivion, and what really happened after their defeat.

105 chapters long, it took me, @chigrima and our friend Abby three solid years to write as a collaborative effort, and the whole thing is the length of three generously sized novels.

(And that’s still just one arc of the whole madness that was the Plot Bunny of Doom, and the only one to every get written down.)

We posted it on LJ, and that’s where it still is (I don’t even know if it’s readable still.) We’ve talked about putting it up on AO3, but then we say “We should just edit some of those small things we never got around to back then before releasing it again” and we have such good intentions and then it never happens.

Here’s the original poster I made for it when we started writing.

And this is the last picture I made for it, made as a memorial a few years ago before one of those “we’ll totally upload it on AO3 and then we didn’t” episodes.

It’s a masterpiece in the “it may seem crazy to you now but it will make total sense once you get there!” genre. (Cue Marluxia’s complicated relationship with dish soap, moose, mice, Larxene vs Jack the Ripper and Vexen absolutely slaying in a dress.)

And then 40 and 45 - characters of your choice!

Once again I found it hard to make a decision, so I used a random number generator to pick the characters.

King Tenotaka: 40 - How does your character treat people in service jobs?

Rather curtly, but not rudely. He expects people to do their job, do it well, and not make any trouble about it. He has little patience with poor performance and poor excuses, however. He can show suitable recognition for good handiwork, even though he’s never one to heap praise or display much appreciation. Impassive approval is the best you can hope for, and it’s not easy to get.

Queen Eilah: 45 - What does your character believe will happen to them after they die? Does this belief scare them?

Eilah has long since made peace with the concept of death. She spent many long years sick and dying, knowing death could come at any moment, sooner more likely than later. When Relonia miraculously used the magic she had torn from the fallen Warlock to heal her, she got a second shot at life, and got busy living it to the fullest.

The Sirn flavour of faith is very inspired by Ancient Egypt - the royals have very large and elaborate tombs for their remains to rest in, filled with art and gifts to ensure a heavenly afterlife. Exactly what happens to one’s spirit after death is in Chima’s hands, the goddess of life, death and judgment. If you’ve lived a good life, you will have a heavenly afterlife, reunited with loved ones in lavish paradise. If you’ve carried sin and guilt with you into death, you will pay for it. And possibly, if you’re still needed, or if you’re too much of a grey area for outright judgment, your spirit may be sent back to live on earth for another lifetime.

Eilah definitely feels she has lived a good life, and with a daughter being a high priest of Chima to send her spirit off when the day comes, she isn’t worried.

In the end, she dies peacefully at old age, falling asleep while reading in her beloved gardens and simply never wakes again. She’s missed by many, hailed a great and wise queen, and thanks to her oldest daughter and odd foreign son-in-law, her tomb blooms richly with her favourite plants and flowers, forever sweet and green in the dark.

Thank you so, so much for the questions! I’m still sick - it’s been 3 weeks now, going from really horribly ill to almost fine, to really ill again, over and over. These asks and notes are amazing little lights in dark times, and I’m so grateful for them. ♥ Thank you.
