a second sad backstory clone has hit the plot
Going from being an introverted lurker on reddit to trying to post my own stuff here is so wild. I keep typing out a post, deleting it, then retyping because I think it's not good enough but then I look at other posts and why am I so worried?
It's like I'm at a fancy Italian restaurant and keep glancing around the room to see which hand people use to pick up the forks. But then I realize that everyone is shoveling spaghetti into their mouths using their bare hands and I'm like ah okay so I'm clearly overthinking this
This restaurant is absolute chaos and I'm giving it 5 stars
it's a big day for people who are autistic about a kid's show that's old enough to be a college sophomore

43. Do you take a sadistic joy in whumping your characters, or are you more the "If you hurt them I would kill everyone" kind of person?
*looks at push to talk* *looks at ruderal botany* *looks at adjusting* what can i say. i love to put characters through torment :3 im much more of an emotional anguish person than a physical one, but i do enjoy to put a character through the wringer from time to time <3

Luxray, Jolteon, and ftm Pikachu late ko-fi doodle for jaie!
almost peed my pants today when my bf told me about this dude in his hometown who dressed up like ryan gosling in Drive every day (including driving gloves) but did not own a car. bf was like “yeah we called him Walk”
hi bull ^_^ # 77 or # 27 for the ask game ? :3
hiiiiii im going to do both, okay? :3
77. Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from [Fanfic Name] story/chapter?
you didn't specify which fic so im just gonna talk about cracking open a cold one because i wanna talk about it. im still in the morb zone mentally. fav scene for that beast is def the whole sequence of gordon freaking out and trying to vampire proof his room and benrey 'menacing' him. the idea of gordon setting up this terrible plan to keep him away (after inviting him!) and benrey immediately interpreting this as a kink scene is insanely funny to me and so fucking fun to write lol
27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?
i loveeeeeee writing characters interacting and bouncing off each other and talking past each other and having feelings at each other. its so fucking fun and rewarding. least favorite is actually writing lol. im very bad at sitting down and doing the damn thing. im always planning and thinking about writing but its hard to actually Do it

Read through the entirety of the zombie apocalypse au thingy for safdc at 4 am and holy shit man. Phenomenal stuff, I am in love with the characterisation and dynamic between Jamie and Daniel. It is absolutely wonderful and I may just re-read it again tonight <3
kicks my feet......thank u : ) its been really fun both exploring their relationship thru RP and getting to put my own touches on it in post......striking that balance of "they really do like each other b/c of the things they DONT have in common, and they envy those qualities" and "they cannot fucking stand each other and wish the other was more like them" has been interesting. good practice for the 'real deal'......at first jamie was wayyyy too bitchy and mean and i had them getting into massive blowout fights like, every chapter. but thats exhausting and doesnt give them a lot of room to grow into each other. so jamies a little more conciliatory. (banging pots and pans together) Even In Enemies To Lovers, They Still Have To Like Each Other (And Hate Each Other A Little Too)
