thanks i picked it myself

to quote an old meme:

Your name is DORA.

That is a lie, your name is not actually DORA. But you’re pretty tired of people who are not WEST or SOUTH ASIAN finding your name UTTERLY UNPRONOUNCEABLE, like it is some ELDRITCH ABOMINATION come to punish them for not being WORLDLY ENOUGH. Offering the use of this nickname is your way of giving MERCY.

!!!!!!!! ask and you shall receive

for ‘oh, the things i do for you’:

2: What scene did you first put down?

i put down................the first scene :Da

i always write in chronological order, sorry NOTHING SPECIAL HERE. it took me a while to decide if i should have wayzz or plagg open the door for nino tho

3: What's your favourite line of narration?

Turning his head, Nino caught Adrien leaning fully out of the car window, kissing Marinette even as she hung over Alya’s shoulder.

let’s be real, dialogue is the real star of this fic, but this line makes me laugh every time. no one can stop their drunken makeouts!!! no one!!!!!!!!

4: What's your favourite line of dialogue?

“I like her,” he declared. “It’s my birthday and I’ll do whoever I want.”

“What,” said Nino.

“Who,” Adrien shot back.

“Where!” Marinette yelled, raising a hand in the air, flush high in her cheeks.

“Why?” Alya asked the ceiling.

“When?” Adrien finished, looking confused.

“How you two got so drunk, I have no idea,” Alya sighed.

SORRY IT’S THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION B Y E

11: What do you like best about this fic?

maaaaan i gotta say i love nino. i feel like i could have leaned in on nino being a movie nerd more in this, esp. with all the superhero movies that are out these days, but the idea behind this remix was ‘au where nino acted like the mom friend we all know he is’ and it just sort of spiralled out from there. nino is my fave forever :’D

for ‘to win the hand of pasithea’:

7: Where did the title come from?

lol the title ties back to the akuma in the fic, hypnos. in greek mythology, specifically the iliad, hera calls on hypnos to make zeus fall asleep because of ~trojan war shenanigans~. hypnos is understandably wary of pissing off the king of the gods, so hera has to promise he can marry a minor goddess he was in love with named pasithea(!!!) in order to get his help

offscreen in the fic, there’s a guy who gets turned into the akuma hypnos because hawk moth promises he can use his powers to become his love’s dream guy - literally. but he remains a plot device, so....the title is....um. not. relevant? at?? all??? UHHHHHHH

:D :D :D

3: What's your favourite line of narration?

The old equation no longer exists. The old solution no longer exists.

But you do.

idk i like the finality of this. you gotta live with the consequences now, marie.

4: What's your favourite line of dialogue?

"Every time either of us use Miraculous Cure, I keep hoping it'll take me away."

YOU GOTTA LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES MARIE

11: What do you like best about this fic?

oh man, a toughie. i like....taking the logic of the ‘ladybug doesn’t disappear at the end of timebreaker’ plotbunny to its logical extreme. if the second ladybug stayed, that means the second alix had to have stayed too. they’d both be in the public eye because the timebreaker fight WAS public. ladybug2/marie can’t go home without outing her secret identity, which is a big no. marie and alix2/artemis will probably have their humanity questioned by assholes, etc, etc.

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn't listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

I DON’T USUALLY LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE WRITING, it distracts me. hmmmmmm. i’m honestly blanking on everything except time only knows from the prince of persia: sands of time soundtrack, but that. doesn’t. fit the tone of the fic at a l l;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

11: What do you like best about this fic?

maaaaan, like the feeling of the audience and marinette being in on the secret identity shenanigans. dramatic irony is the best ok??

i’ve... never written any abo stuff and i’ve never had any plans to? i like reading it but actually writing it... even thinking of all the worldbuilding i’d need to do to make it work in my head exhausts me, lol.

Please God let there be more to come

3. What is your absolute favourite kind of fic to write?

GENNNNNNNNN GEN FIC IS MY FAAAAAAAAVE although i’ve slowly come to like writing shipping fic. whatever strikes my fancy, mostly.

7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.
