Thank youuu for tagging me @snailsarecute 😍🙏

🎶last song🎶: “

“Kẻ Lấy Đi Nỗi Buồn (The Stealer)” by JSOL and Hoàng Duyên. Gives The Weeknd vibes (apparently… I was thinking of a song earlier but I don’t even know anymore lol).

currently watching/last series: Last series watched was Love Between Lines 😍 one reason why I haven’t watched another show is because I need to obsess over LBL so I can maybe finish writing something (I’m still not over them anyway lol - I just watched a reel of Zhiyu and Xiu’s almost kiss(?) I started giggling like crazy), and the other reason is because I have no time or energy to watch another show lol.

currently reading: Some fanfics, and lowkey my own writing because my writing feels more wack than usual lol and I’m trying to find “my style” again.

last film: Our Secret Diary. Totally forgot I watched this but it’s so adorable!!!

currently working on: My fanfics boooo :( also, about to get some shut eye. I’m exhausted.

last google search: Kẻ Lấy Đi Nỗi Buồn (The Stealer) so I could copy and paste the name lol.

sweet or salty: I love both but I’m into salty right now. All the things in the pantry are sweet though :( but I did suddenly crave ice cream earlier smh. It flip flops honestly. I’m a big back at heart.

coffee or tea: I don't drink coffee or tea much, but I’ll say tea cause I do drink it more. I mainly eat coffee candy though to keep myself awake, but it somehow does the opposite for me lol. 2 teaspoons of coffee in milk is nice though.

Tagging whoever wants to do it!

My NOTP is a ship from the MCU called Winterbones - Darcy Lewis/Brock Rumlow.

As Darcy Lewis is one of my favorite characters to work with - she's got such a niche fandom of fics - but Crossbones (Brock Rumlow) is an absolute antithesis of my favorite, Captain America (Steve Rogers).

So it makes sense that my NOTP is the polar opposite of my OTP. 😅

Ah, makes sense! I’m a little familiar with Darcy from when I watched Wandavision, iirc. Not familiar with him. Thanks for answering my nosy inquiries btw and sorry for taking so long to answer this ><

For the fic writers ask - 7, 19, 23 😀

7.  Which part of writing do you struggle with most?

Ummmmmm probably like the rough draft writing? I have a hard time writing something just to get it down, but if I get hung up by editing as I go, I end up not writing at all so it’s a necessary part of my process, unfortunately. 

19.  Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?

The easiest character to write for me would have to be Draco Malfoy?  Idk, maybe because he’s one of my oldest faves?  

Hardest character would have to be Ramsay in GoT. I just... I hate him so much.  It’s difficult to write very much of him at all. It’s not that his voice is difficult to find, because it’s surprisingly not? It’s just that I feel... how gross he is no matter what and I’m constantly aware of that.

23.  If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it?

Hmmmmm... 

I think possibly Fruitcake and Bananas (Wintershock)?  I think I would make it more slow-burny. I feel like I rushed it.

Thank you crim! Love you!

snailsarecute replied to your post “Anyway I’m increasingly convinced that Chris Evans’ acting in the...”

I have a whole post with sympathy for Chris Evans. Between the fake scripts, the secrecy, the isolation of not being able to bounce ideas off people, the disconnect of where the script was going, let alone other people going OFF script *coughtonkycough*... it sounds like the most heart crushing circumstances to be stuck in. He did what he could with how back asswards it went.

Absolutely. The cast have all been professional and working hard all these years and this is what they get in return? Being treated like you don’t matter for shit in a creative process you are supposed to be a crucial part of (and you have been a crucial part of previously)? Especially actors who have carried a large chunk of the franchise on their shoulders all along? And then in interviews they have to sing the praises of the directors and producers and repeat how the reason the franchise even exists is because of RDJ. Who, don’t get me wrong, deserves all the appreciation for his work. But there are lines and the lines were abundantly crossed. I support Chris Evans’ bleeding-through distaste with my entire heart.

(bitchiness under the cut. don’t click if you are a tony/RDJ fan.)

It’s funny, in fact, that people identify RDJ as the one and only force that makes the Iron Man movies work because the Iron Man movies basically have two characters that are remotely fleshed out (the second is misogyny, the only character that is in more movies than Tony) so it’s not like the movies themselves have room for anything else, you know? While in other movies it’s a team effort so you can’t say Hemsworth is the only reason Thor movies work or Evans is the only reason Cap movies work, because, duh, there’s Hiddleston and everyone else. Maybe if you wrote a decent part for Gwyneth Paltrow, RDJ wouldn’t have to carry everything on his shoulders. Or, better, most MCU movies have shitty parts for women but the thing about Tony is that he’s written in a way that he cannot have peers (the Avengers movies are all about Tony being in varying degrees of conflict with the people who are supposed to be his peers, because Tony struggles with peers, so even when they’re in good terms he just has to make quips the entire time). Thor has his brother. Steve has Bucky, Sam, Natasha (ding dong! a female person can be a peer to a male person, who knew? granted, it was probably not a feminist enlightenment but we are so starved we’ll get anything decent we’re given, okay). Pepper isn’t Tony’s peer, she is the Love Interest. Peter Parker isn’t a peer, he’s a son/mentee figure...

With this I’m not saying RDJ is overrated, but that others are underrated because they share the spotlight with costars in a way RDJ doesn’t do. If it makes sense...?
