you think that’s bad, i like nothing lol 

Okay this has been sitting in my inbox a while so I’m finally answering it! The past couple of months have been really difficult, but here are a few things: 

1) That moment when you’ve finished writing the first full draft of a fic, especially if it’s a long project or one that you’ve sat on for a while. There’s something magical when you write that last sentence of a fic and realize you have a complete narrative from beginning to end. There might be plot holes and typos and grammatical errors everywhere. But it’s done - you’ve created a completed thing, even if it’s just words on a page. 

2) Sleep sleep sleep a really restful night’s sleep or alternately i’ll settle for a really good nap. 

3) Finding the most perfectly characterized fic for a rare-pair or a small fandom, especially for a character that fandom usually doesn’t expand on or that canon has completely, completely mangled. 

4) Really really delicious food. We went out for team dinner on the division’s dime (because morale is so damn low at work lol) a couple of weeks ago for yakiniku and I had wagyu beef for the first time and it. was. divine. omg. I now understand why people pay so much money for food sometimes. 

aaaaa i love you

send me a number!

7. Do you care about your ethnicity?

It’s complicated :V

12. Dog person or cat person?

Dogs and fluffy and cute and full of fun, but their boundless energy gets exhausting. I prefer cats.

15. Five most influential books over your lifetime.

A Boy in the Doghouse, Betsy Duffey

Okay, you can’t even begin to understand how much I loved this book as a child. This was the first chaptered book I read on my own, ever, and I kept borrowing it from the library to the point where I’m pretty sure nobody else was able to read it because it was always being taken out.I also distinctly remember that, when our librarian changed and the book was nowhere to be found, I went to the new librarian to ask for it and was given the question of, “Aren’t you too old to read from the Children’s section now?”BOY, WAS I LIVID. And blacklisted. I was told not to come back after I started screaming and throwing stuff off the librarian’s desk and kicked a chair over. Over 10 years later, I still haven’t gone back to that library. And I never will

Ruby Holler, Sharon Creech

There’s so much about this book that fills me with emotion. It’s about two kids in the foster care system who get adopted by an elderly couple living in the middle of the woods. The kids have gone through hell and back, and the character development they go through as they re-learn what it’s like to be hopeful and trust in others is absolutely amazing. Creech is so good at writing vividly — and from a child’s perspective too! — and her narratives are always vibrant with life. Seriously, go read this if you haven’t. It’s so good.

The Wasteland, T. S. Eliot

Enter my emo stage. I don’t know what it is about T. S. Eliot, but I’ve always been drawn to his writing, even when I was too young to understand the references he made in his work. I read this first in high school, and was so enraptured by the style and wording that I read it again and again despite not really getting it. It wasn’t until college, when I finally got the historical context and the literary references, that I truly came to understand what he was saying. Truly a beautiful piece.

Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf

Woolf is the driving force behind my writing. She and James Joyce have shaped me into being the writer I am today. Their stream of consciousness, diction and phrasing, and mastery of conveying such strong themes and motifs are enabled me to learn a style of writing I never thought I could have. This was the first work by Woolf that I ever read. A Room of One’s Own, of course, came right after. 

Good Morning, Midnight, Jean Rhys

This just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. When did you even start shipping this, how come I didn't know, WE LOST SO MUCH TIME /NOT/ TALKING ABOUT THIS since.... like... Kida/Mikado omfg.

i don’t know how we’ve never talked about daisuga! they were my first haikyuu!! ship, almost instantly, and my love for their love has only grown through the years... they’re just pretty much everything i want, as individuals and as partners. the mutual trust and admiration and support is a+++.
