Ahh, sorry, forgot to post this.

That's one of my newer ideas, an Intouchables/the Upside AU where Gendry becomes Bran's carer even though he's massively unqualified but he's just what Bran (and the rest of the Starks) needed to bring some fresh air to Winterfell.

They become good friends and since Arya and Bran are so close and Gendrya are Gendrya, they become close too.

Fic Writer Ask 

4: what time of the day/night do you like to write?

Again, Night time is the best time for me! I don’t know why but inspiration really kicks up a notch when the sun goes down. The only down side is my grammar tends to go hand in hand with my exhaustion lol

10: any writing advice?

This is some advice I’ve been working on taking myself but it’s that you don’t censor yourself while you write. Especially when you’re inspired to write. Because then it happens that you get caught up on a word or phrase or it doesn’t turn out the way you liked - and that’s okay- just don’t delete your work. Let it sit for a day or two and come back to it. There have been parts of fics I’ve written that I’ve absolutely hated but i have to remember that I’ve read my own work a hundred times, to someone else it might be amazing!

34: a scene/paragraph you wrote that you’re proud of

Oh gosh there are so many, one sec let me scour my fics! so theres a dead tie between this scene in Dancing til Dawn

“She looked beautiful. Long brown hair streaming through the empty air behind her as she spun around in circles to the beat of the drums. Hands held out to keep her balance Gendry stared dumbfounded as the emerald green fabric of her dress flared out on all sides. Sansa had leaned in, whispering something in the younger sisters’ ear, causing Arya to toss her head back in laughter.

She’s drunk, he thought idly. Rightfully so. They had won the battle of the long night. Arya herself sported a dark cut above her eye, and another just beneath the hem of near her shoulder. Gendry tried not to think about that though, choosing instead to take another sip of his ale.”

and this scene out of Dead or Alive

He felt for her, really he did. But he had a job. And if the rumors about her retribution were to be believed, she was just as guilty as the rest of the fugitives he brought in for a living.

Annoyed, Gendry let out a huff, “Listen lady. You might think you’re servin’ some higher purpose. But what you did to Old Man Frey-…You’re wanted for murder. Tying up a Marshal ain’t gonna make the hangman's rope any easier ‘round your neck when I take you in.” Not for the first time that day he cursed himself for having been so careless as to camp out on the desert ridge. He might as well have sent up a giant smoke signal for anyone in the valley below. What he hadn’t accounted for was how ballsy she was, saddling up to his campfire while he slept and taking him by surprise. This was certainly a first.

1: what inspires you?

Usually the stupidity of other writers, tbh. Nothing makes me more creative than white men botching perfectly good storylines. All of my best fics were crafted with the rage instilled in me by mediocre white men and their lack of talent and overall basic human decency. 

24: do you outline?

Absolutely. Every single chapter is planned out and broken down before I begin writing. A lot of it includes actual bits of dialogue I know I want to include or just basic bullet points of themes or things I need to focus on foreshadowing, etc. 

35: any foreshadowing/symbolism you wrote that you hope readers didn’t miss?

48. what is your favorite memory? 

Oh man that is hard!!! Both because there are 26 years worth of memories... and the fact that my memory is shocking!!! HAHA! Honestly, the more I think the blanker my mind is going. It’s not my favourite per say, but one of my favourite memories I guess.

When I went to pick my dog up, we were on a farm and watching all the puppies play. There was one puppy on the photos I specifically liked because he had this white mark on his chest, but I couldn’t see them because they were playing. Then all of the sudden this one puppy splits off from the rest, and I look down and he has purple nails (my mam has purple hair) and I’m like, okay this is our puppy. So I pick the puppy up, and it’s the one from the photos, so I say “Do you want to be Dewi?” and he looked up at me with his little blue eyes, and I was in love!!

49. how tall are you? 

14. Piercings i want:

oo i would love to get my septum pierced and an orbital piercing, maybe helix as well? mostly been wanting the orbital one for a while.

15. Relationship status:

currently single, and not looking to change that anytime soon.

16. Favourite movie:

most probably would be atonement. it kills me to watch it, but i will always rewatch it till im dead. so many feelings wow.

17. A fact about my life:

button - do you have a type? what is it like?

My cousin said she noticed i like the bad boy type but are actually very soft *cough Joe Dempsie *... So for guys i guess that.

I don't think i have a type for the ladies though. I mean, as long as we get along well and we have a lot of things in common then... ;)

baby girl - how do you like to be held?

Spoon me baby!!! I can be the big spoon or the small spoon, doesn't matter. I'm so weak for cuddles. I melt!

wild thing - what’s something about you that surprises people

That I can be very hyperactive. Lol. I was told (a million times) that i can be intimidating. So once people get to know me, they'd be surprised that I can also be very friendly and talkative and shit! 😁
