He sits down, bumping his shoulder against McCoy's. Tries to gather his thoughts.

He needs, he thinks, an argument. Something persuasive, and logical, and emotional. Something to convince him to stay. Something to convince him—

My fifth work for the Ghost Swap exchange over at @fyeahghosttrick is for the prompt: Kamila and Yomiel building a contraption together for @fexiled

I don't know what kind of contraption this is but clearly something that looks like a windmill lol. They'll probably turn it into something bigger down the line, this is just the beginning.

here's a couple i've seen around in my state. i think the white one is a honda acty, idk about the other one bc i didn't get to see the make before it drove off (you don't have to ID it unless you want to tho). they're such cute little trucks, i wanna drive one so bad 😭❤️

THANK YOU I LOVE THEM. i saw a suzuki carry yesterday and it literally made my day after a long ass day at work. little pockets of sunshine on wheels. to me

how about a frog in these trying times

Duck: Honedge, Glameow, Sceptile, Sawsbuck, Golduck, Espeon

Honedge for Beacon, Glameow for the apartment cat that I vaguely remember Duck having, Sceptile and Sawsbuck for the nature/forest motif, Golduck Just Because, and Espeon because I'm sure Duck would be unconditionally kind to all his Pokemon but he isn’t a night owl, prompting a daytime friendship evolution (and whether Duck likes it or not, he’s got psychic abilities too)!

Indrid: Mothim, Frosmoth, Venomoth, Noctowl, Xatu, Absol

Thank you for sendin’ stuff in for the writer’s ask meme, Fex! <3<3

1) Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

Beyond a big handful of one-shots and a zine fic I’m making progress on, my main project is my SU canon divergent AU Crack the Paragon.

It follows Steven and the Gems and all the ripples in their lives as they accidentally uncover the Pink Diamond secret in season 3. Progress is kinda slow, and has been for the past year, but it’s something I’m thinking about and jotting notes about almost every day. Excitingly, I have finished fully fleshing out the beat-by-beat of both chapter 12 and 13, so all that’s left with those is to write out the prose. 

What I love the most about this fic is that it’s giving me space to (eventually) explore character development for some characters that otherwise didn’t get much. For instance, I have some big plans with Ruby, Jasper, and Amethyst & Pearl.

6) What character do you have the most fun writing?

Absolutely without a doubt Steven. I’m also fond of writing dialogue for Peridot and Lars- they both have a deadpan sense of humor often, and that’s fun to play around with. 

8) Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?

Yeah, I’m really drawn to single point of divergence AUs, hurt/comfort, and well-written and in character angsty scenarios. That’s pretty much what I write, as well, haha.

15) Which is harder: titles, summaries, or tags?

In my experience... titles. I’m fine at describing what’s going on within a summary, but it’s really hard to try and encapsulate an idea within just a few words.

23) What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head the longest?

Ahahah, I had an angsty SU AU years back wherein Steven outright died in The Return, everyone was captured, and they’re taken to Homeworld. The kicker, though: Steven’s gem- which was heckin, uh... removed from his organic body- eventually reformed as Steven, and not Rose. Sorta a full-Gem Steven. This was an idea I had back in 2016, before we knew anything about Steven’s Pink or human half, mind you XD
