👖 and 💭 please :)

Hi iinchy!! 🩷🩷 ty for the ask ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

👖 Are you a planner, plantser, or pantser? Is it consistent?

(What is a pantser and plantser 0w0)

I’ll have to say I’m a planner? I usually start fics/chapters with a good idea of what I want to happen. Sometimes I wing it, but I find I’m more comfortable/confident in what I’m writing if I at least have an idea of what I want to write!

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

TW: eating disorders, suicide ideations, sexual assault

Oh god soooo many. In my gen fic Your Zenith, I’ve been working on head canons for the ghouls (things like pack dynamics, power structure). Perpetua has the popular HC where he was raised in an orphanage, indoctrinated into the church, was groomed and sexually abused by Father Jim DeFroque, very depressed and suicidal, worked as the choir teacher at said church (…I think…)

In my cherry magic fic I hc a different backstory for Perpetua. He ran away from home in his teens, joined a band, hopped around in a van with his band. Did sexual favors to get things like booze or a gig, fucked up his sense of worth and value (his bandmates encouraged him to do so.) When the band broke up in his early 20s he went off the deep end for a few years doing solo stuff, minor sex work to make some money. Eventually got a job at a music store and finished his high school education but never pursued anything further than that. Therapy 🤙🏼 helped him get through it, but becoming Papa and performing in front of ppl again has made some of the Old Thoughts reappear.

But seeing Copia’s performances and how much fun he has/the confidence has helped him reshape what being a rock star could be. It’s being himself, and being free! Hence his budding feelings for Copia that became almost an obsession when he saw how skittish Copia was (he found it charming and almost like a challenge ;3) He’s got tattoos and faded divots in his eyebrows and lips from piercings. (Messing around with an idea where he’s got clitoral/labia piercings but idk yet :3)

OKAY NOW ON TO COPIA. In the cherry magic fics he’s gained some weight after his time as Papa. He kept a lot of it off when he was younger and when he was in higher positions as he worked himself to the bone and staved off his appetite. But after his promotion he became depressed and began to overeat while also falling into a sedentary lifestyle. Old age and his weight gain has him viewing his body in an unfavorable way, and it’s heavily skewed his perception of worth. ON TOP OF his relationship with Sister and being Papa he’s just fucked.

He likes to wear comfy clothes and graphic t-shirts, but also splurges on designer clothing that looks absolutely dumb and he used to wear them all the time but now they’re a bit too small and so he doesn’t wear them and he hates that sm.

Okay this is all so very sad and depressing but that’s what I got! I might come back to this later and add some happier ones lol

In order to work together to figure out how and why Sister would do such an awful thing, they must conquer their respective pasts to make sense of the present. And to set their brothers’ souls free, they must dig into the long-buried mysteries of the Ministry, and uncover secrets of the woman who spent her entire life serving it.
