āI have saved pictures of you in my phone gallery and it feels so weird. I can't swallow the lump in my throat every time I think to delete them, but at the same time I can't shake the guilt that weights me down every day I still keep them.ā
Evie love how are you doing? ā¤ļø For the ao3 wrapped: 27, 29, and 30 are the ones Iām super curious about!!! Big love you <3
my beloved julie hello š!! I am doing well!! I always love seeing your name in my notifications. Instant joy š« anywho how are youāØ?
27. what do you listen to while writing?
It depends on the scene! I have to be careful listening to songs with lyrics, as I can find them distracting. Like I can't hear my own thoughts over the vocalist? I'll also get caught up trying to write to rhythm of the music. (That being said I listen to music a lot BEFORE I write as source of inspiration/set the vibe)
I really enjoy listening to ambient/atmospheric songs. Here are a few!
snowfall
S T A Y
meditation
Forever
bella's lullaby (the twilight renaissance is upon us BABY)
Some other great instrumental songs are Arrival of the Binds and Transformation by the London Orchestra, anything by Emma Louise but especially 17 Hours, Atlas Eyes, and Stainache (she's a singer but very soft) Wind by Prm, The Smallest Piece from Beasts of No Nation, Turning Page by Daniel Jang, Wanderlust by AK, Discovery by AK, Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz, and Hijo De la Luna by Olga Benito to name a few!
29. favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Well first I want to thank you Jules for this question, as it forces me to self-reflect in a POSTIVE way, which I think all of us writers could do more of. Be proud of your work!! Anywho here a few lines I loved :)
from star-stitched:
This quote describes both Kiyoomi's and my relationship with OCD so it has a lot of personal meaning for me :')
Ā āItās fine,ā Motoya assures. āDo your stuff.āĀ I know you want to,Ā being the unspoken thing.Ā
And yet.Ā
And yet, Kiyoomi never wants to. But he always does. A marionette with his strings wrapped around his throat. Bound by Bad Thoughts. Strangled by the fabric of who he is. Kiyoomi never wants to, but he always does.Ā
I also liked this description of Kiyoomi thinking Atsumu is about to touch him after a successful service ace (they're thirteen during this)!
Bad Habits, Bad Thoughts, Bad Days. A malady melody in a relentless crescendo. A desperate chant of,
donāt touch me donāt touch me donāt touch me donāt touch me donāt touch me donātā
I wonāt.
Miya steers clear of Kiyoomi and drops down onto the ground in front of his spewing bag. A sudden caesura. The closing of a conductorās fist. Kiyoomiās worries tucked away in the bed of his palm. It leaves him almost dizzy. To be well within someoneās reach, only for them to take nothing but his breath. Hold it for him in their hand.Ā
from earth and moon
both of these quotes I like in terms of their prose and what they represent thematically! This one pertains to what Suna sees as the inevitability of Osamu leaving him due to outside forces.
Osamu kisses him back like heās crafting rice, wrapping hands, looking at stars. He kisses Rin like heās an open wound and he knows. (Rin should stop acting as if he doesnāt.) He kisses Rin like they have time.Ā
They don't. Not really. Not even the rain can make Rin forget that now.
Now.
Now, Rin thinks of gravity. Gravity, the pinnacle force, which tethers together the earth and moon. Gravity which can tug on time and space like Osamu does with Rinās hair to kiss his neck. (He does). Gravity which can pull a moment away from the greedy hands of memory. Gravity which can make something last.
Rin knows forever is too much to ask of anything, of anyone. But could he at least ask for this moment to last? Stretch it out like Osamuās back in the grass. Cup it like his face in the morning. Hold it like his body in bed. Could Rin at least ask for this moment to last? Please? For now?
Now?
No.
I enjoy this next one as it represents the motif of cyclical universes! Sue me Iām a slut of adjectives and adverbs (context they're watching a documentary together)
Rin watches the slide of the screen's prismatic light over Osamuās enraptured expression. Empyrean ivories, astral blues, elysian reds. Osamu, in celestial technicolor. Rin watches the world end and begin again on Osamuās face. Infinity becomes briefly human.
Anywho, if you liked those quotes then it'd mean the world if you checked out those stories :)
30. biggest surprise while writing this year?
Probably how much I missed it! While I've been writing since I was a wee lass, I only wrote original works and primarily focused on scripts from high school onwards. In college, I hardly wrote for fun at all, since I just didn't have time.
BUT I started writing regularly again in September of 2021 after discovering fanfic and I remembered how much I loved writing in general, but especially narratively. I've re-fallen in love with words and the wonders they can do :)
How's everyone's weekend? Hope ya'll are doing good!š¤ References of the artworks are from Tanaka Keita (Sawamura Daichi's stage actor) on Instagram.
