Favorite story is definitely Neon Eyes!

(but I'm equally as excited to see where Burn the Witch will go...👀)

A fan of pain, I see…

Some writing asks for you: 3, 6, 19?

Thanks! 🌻

3. Who’s your favorite character overall?

Richard. You can tell because I’m mean to him 😘

6. What’s the hardest thing for you to write?

I answered this in a different ask, but I thought of something else.

Sometimes there are scenes/chapters that are just very emotionally draining—especially if it’s dealing with difficult subject matter. Ch 10 of AOMM and more recently Ch 6 of Neon Eyes are two examples. They usually take forever to write and I have to put myself in sort of a weird headspace while I work on them, but in the end I think it’s worth it because it feels really cathartic once they’re finished, and a lot of times they end up being some of my favorite parts of the story.

19. What is one story idea you have in you head right now?

Oh just one? Okay, fine.

I want to do a Monster Hunter AU

Thanks for the ask 🖤

For the writing asks: What If and POV?

Thanks! 🌼

-themarten

What If--Paul was sent instead of Till

POV--Anti Christ

Both are under the cut if anyone wants to avoid possible spoilers<3

What If?

“May I see what you have so far?”

Paul shrugged. He didn’t see why not considering that Sven’s stepfather was his client. He opened up the sketchbook to show Sven what he had done.

The look on Sven’s face was unreadable as Paul flipped through the pages. Paul’s brow furrowed a bit while he tried to figure out just what Sven was thinking.

“That looks nothing like me.”

Fucking shithead. Paul sighed, and nodded. “I know, but you mentioned that your fiancee wouldn’t want to marry you if she thought you were ugly. So I had to take some artistic liberties.”

Sven’s mouth hung open. “Y-you can’t talk to me like that.”

Paul shrugged flippantly. “And you can’t paint. That’s why I’m here. If you hate what I’ve done so badly, I can fix them and make you look more constipated.”

Sven’s brow formed a deep frown and mouth dropped even lower. He was stunned speechless.

Paul smiled impishly as Sven stormed out. He knew that either he would be fired, or Sven wouldn’t give him any more problems. Either way, totally worth it.

-------------

POV

Sven viewed the scene of Adam and Eve. It was gorgeous like the rest of the artwork in the cathedral, but it didn’t quite speak to him like Till’s work had. Not to mention that there was something eerily familiar about Eve, and Sven couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was. She did sort of look like Mary from the pieta on the altarpiece, but that wasn’t it.

“But fuck me I’m having to the paint the goddamned Anti-Christ!” Till’s growl echoed throughout the church, and it sent a child down Sven’s spine. Till was talking about him. Of course he was. After all, who else was he painting that fit such a description?

He couldn’t stay in here. He needed to be…somewhere else. It didn’t matter where. Just not here--or home.

His body felt so cold, and the warmth of the Sun seemed to mock him when he stepped out of the cathedral.

Sven kept walking to nowhere in particular as he lost himself in his thoughts. Till’s words hurt even though Sven knew that he had no right to feel such a way. He had been so monstrous towards him, of course Till hated him. So why hadn’t he quit yet? Why was he still here? Had Sven’s behavior truly been all for nothing? The thought killed him.

For the song asks: 🌃 and 🏠?

Thanks! 🌼

-themarten

🌃 A song for night time

Lately, it has mostly been these two albums:

But just one song... This one, maybe?

🏠 A song you could live inside

That's going to be a whole album too:

It's one of my favorites ever and it sounds like being in a forest, so.

Thank you @themarten 💖

I want to say your fanfic author style is somewhere between Too Many Thots and Crying because I know you have a ton of ideas but you also love your characters and write their characterizations so well 🌼❤

-themarten

Too many thots is very accurate. As for crying, I love them all very much, but I do love hurting them

[frauschneidersridingcrop]

😅🤡🧠👀?

-themarten 🌼

😅-What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

*Literally any sex scene. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret putting them in and I won't stop, but I grew up in pretty religious house so writing or drawing any kind of smut tends to embarrass me by default.

🤡-What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

*Oh God...too many for me to choose, but I'll go with this bit that Paul or "Paula" says from She's a Rocker Dressed Like a Killer:

"Yeah. We've jammed together a few times. It's fun, bet we're always trying to one-up each other and I don't think that's very feminist of us. I am better though."

I don't know why but I always loved that bit XD

🧠-Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

*Since you didn't specify anyone, I'm going to go with NE!Richard.

He likes to collect the coats of anyone he develops a crush on. Till and Schneider are victims of this.

👀-Tell me about an up an coming wip please!

*Oof. I know you didn't mean it, but you really called me out with this one. I have like a million that I want to start working on the moment I finish up my current fic, but my latest one where I actually have the first chapter completed is a college AU. Since I can't do anything simple, it's set in the US during the 1970s and Richard is running a pirate radio broadcast.
