15, 40, 77 if youre still answering 1D asks 😁
thank you, bells!! i am :D
15) Which one of the boys would you changes styles with?
OOH i’d say Harry even though I am allergic to pants/trousers bc there’s something about the clothes he wears that hit that “i am an unknowable entity, you may experience my vibes and nothing more” energy that I, too, strive for.
40) Which 1D or solo song keeps you up at night?
Hmmm probably ESNY or Too Much to Ask for solo songs (maybe also Don’t Let it Break Your Heart and Good Years...Liam I’m sorry but your songs don’t stir my mind, they just make me wanna shake it).
77) Has being part of the fandom made any major impact on you? Has it shaped your life a lot?
YES! I started writing in the Sherlock fandom, but I was so anxious about it and really never felt my stuff was good enough. Plus I never really got a foothold with other active writers, really? I knew the BNFs and was friends with their friends, but I didn’t feel like I had a place. That changed for me in this fandom.I commented on fics from popular writers and followed them/reblogged/engaged with their stuff and they actually followed me back. And they were open to chatting and stuff, and were encouraging and welcoming and friendly to me as a new fan.
I didn’t ever think I would get to a place of feeling confident in my writing, but I really have. It’s not easy every time and I’m not ALWAYS sure that it’s good, but I’m actually telling stories I care about and I feel like I’ve found people who like what I write and who are happy to be an engaged and supportive audience.
There’s no way I would’ve done this on my own, and I’m grateful every day to get to write fic in this fandom, for better or worse.
Also larry is a balm for my heart. I’m never going to know the details of their relationship (thank god) but believing that they have found ways to keep loving each other in spite of challenges helps me believe that love is possible. I think that’s why it kills me when people are desperate to stop larries from existing? Like bro I have never once gone on someone’s blog to say anything that wasn’t 100% nice, and I just want to enjoy this writing community and think nice thoughts out here. Please go away :)
