ty for asking!!

7. show us a WIP: here's a lineup of Vox Machina i havent colored yet

From a short fic I started writing, based on a discussion @whirly-wind and I had a while back about how Abraham Van Helsing is almost certainly a Fable:

“Ah!” He clapped his hands once as he said it, an exclamation in and of itself. “The new deputy, yes! I have heard much gossip about you, dear lady.”

Molly suppressed a groan and the sudden urge to bolt back out into the twilight, anonymous streets. “And here I thought nobody knew anybody else in New York.”

Roxanne Tataei - Crimson Eyes

And how long have you been climbing up them walls? The higher you climb the harder you will fall (your eyes are glowing again)

(Fish!)

Hozier - NFWMB

Give your heart and soul to charity 'Cause the rest of you The best of you Honey, belongs to me Ain't it a gentle sound, the rollin' in the graves? Ain't it like thunder under earth, the sound it makes? Ain't it exciting you, the rumble where you lay? Ain't you my baby? ain't you my baby? Nothing fucks with my baby

(Kol and Ori!)

First completed commission for the wonderful @crownleys of the amazing Runner 12 (who I am in no way obsessed with...not at all...nope)

In the very original version of Selkirk, Jodi’s love interest was supposed to be a sort of freelance ‘weapons expert’ in the model of the quirky lady computer hacker that was very popular in ensemble crime shows of the late 00s/early 10s (the era when this whole project was born in earnest.) Character economy and my desire to spice up Grace’s character into something more abrasive and compelling changed some stuff. 

OH NO. My favorite is definitely Weird Old Grandpa Sayre, but I actually don’t have a really good one for him! Or, at least, not outside some sort of speculative-feeling songs about what we’ve heard about his desire to sort of become one with the world and the elements.

I have a spotify playlist where I stick stuff that gives me even the vaguest PT vibes and I kiiiiind of have Sayre in mind when I listen to Low Anthem’s Give My Body Back, and also somewhat San Fermin’s The Myth, but both those kind of get into my feeling of Sayre not being likely to actually live through the end of PT.

Good lord babe, you spoil me <3

14) Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

There’s not much new buuuut

Most days Sam would have had his lunch at the desk, but it’s just too bloody cold out and he isn’t willing to risk his fingers while shoveling down lukewarm chili.

15) What's your favourite plotless fic you have written? 

Hm, of the ones that I have published on ao3, prooobably In The Throes or Taking Root (smutty Tom/Five and fluffy 5am respectively). I struggle a lot with plot though, if I’m being honest. I try to craft them all the time and it’s all so wooden u_u I’m still pumping @whirly-wind for information on that front.

17) Past or present tense? Why?

I vastly prefer writing in present tense. I’m not honestly sure why, because I don’t mind reading in past tense, and past tense is a lot more frequently used! I guess it comes back to me really, really liking when my writing feels immersive? Present tense does that in my eyes, it brings the reader into the narrative because everything is happening right now.

18) First, second, or third person? 

I like second AND third person. I am far less fond of first person when writing, I don’t mind it while reading though.

40) Write a 9-word fic.
