One thing I love about my sailor au is its chapter titles. I love looking at the index on ao3 and read the titles because the vibes are so nice and I literally don't know how I came up with such good titles? I love it. I love this fic and I love writing.
Choral Chambers by Christopher Larkin (from Hollow Knight Silksong) -> Omg you don't understand. You don't understaaaand how this song changed my life. Do you hear these gorgeous voices, the rhythm, everything about this song is perfect. I love Silksong so much. Also this song is literally the theme of the Citadel in SIlksong which is like the most important place in this game. I had to associate it with Mehris
Ballad of the Wind Fish (from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening) -> When I first heard this song I knew it fitted the vibe I was going for <hen I wrote about Mehris. It's simply enchanting.
✯ Inspiration ✯
I heard that Mehris was a name, and that its Latin root meant 'of the sea' - that's funny, because I didn't know that when I first chose that name for the Citadel. Though this meaning fits it well.
(I've been learning Latin in uni, so I know that the actual root is maris which indeed means 'of the sea' - it comes from mare, is, neuter which means 'sea')
I love Mehris so much, it's the perfect place to live honestly. It's located near the forest and the sea, it's big but some places are quiet, it has this huge library which is the heart of the Citadel, its people are sweet and quiet... My dream city.
I watched Dead Poets' Society while I wrote this chapter, which is probably why the part with the philosophy teacher reminds me of John Keating. I mean, he literally asks Akaashi if he embraces life- that's carpe diem!
Oh, how I loved writing about the library. It's one of the prettiest places i've imagined in this fic. I wish I had the skills to draw it, it's just so beautiful... Here are a couple of pictures that remind me of the library and of the Citadel!
The tale that BokuAka read in the library is inspired by Scandinavian mythology- by Ægir and Ran, and their nine daughters, to be specific! They are the personification of the waves.
(Yes, I did research for hours to find a tale that I liked to turn it into my inspiration for this fic.)
Also, if anyone is wondering, no, I will never stop making my fics inclusive. I loved writing the interaction between Akaashi and the deaf librarian - I love every scene where Akaashi gets to learn about the world and people. And I had a really fun time writing the part where they tell BokuAka that they're beautiful together... As for the other librarian that they follow inside the library, she has vitiligo!
The librarians' uniform is inspired by the sisters of the basilica of the village where my mom lives! They wear those pretty light blue tunics with white headscarves, it's a really peaceful look. And it fits Mehris' library perfectly!
I'm so excited to share the next chapters - things are going to get intense! I apologise in advance to my dear boy Akaashi... things aren't going to get easier any time soon...
The way I've locked in this month is crazy. Three weeks into summer holidays and I've edited 7 chapters of my fic (which has 20 chapters in total). That's crazy, it's more words than I was able to edit in one year of uni
I think Doremi will always be my favourite ojamajo because she is allowed to be the most flawed. They let her relish in it. She's annoying, irascible, neurotic, angry, selfish and all the above, but in site of this she has such a big heart you can't help but empathise with her!!!
next up in the "haikyuu but girls" series: the fukurodani trio, and a guest delegation from itachiyama, who are at opposite ends of the "want to be here" scale
I need help to find the source of a quotation I wrote down in my notes app and want to use for a fic!
The quotation is: "Magic is beautiful. But so is the fleeting nature of human life."
I'm pretty sure it's from Frieren but I can't find it anywhere and I know I did not write this but I'm not sure where it's from actually? Please people who watched Frieren in dub help me find from which episode this quote might be from 😭🙏
Anyone knows where I can rent Project Hail Mary online??? I wanna watch that movie cause I wasn’t able to when it was out in theatres and I can’t find it on streaming platforms 🥲😔
