You Are An Artist And Your Heart Is Your Masterpiece

Okay so I watched Weathering With You for the hundredth time and because I am obsessed with Huntlow, of course my brain went “I can do BOTH”

But like. It makes sense to me

But now the problem is I’m making myself really emotional over the idea of a version of the end of the movie where they’re falling through the sky and Hunter is trying to catch Willow and saying “You’ve done enough! I care about you more than anything else—you’re my treasure!!” (In reference to the alternate translation of “you guys mean the world to me” because that permanently changed my brain chemistry)

Do you see the vision. Am I delusional. I have so many ideas and so little motivation to write but I need everyone to know

Willow @ Willow:

the imagery you have put in my head of hunter being equated to sunshine and The Sun itself (too much ….) is so SICKENING,,,, considering willow is plant girl. no wonder her dumbass is drawn to him !!!!!! shes converting him to glucose !!!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 

Only 4, but I plan to post more!!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 

9,648

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I’ve written for a good few, but out of the ones I’ve actually posted, there are two-- The Owl House, and Over the Garden Wall. Mainly Huntlow, obviously, because I am obsessed, but I hope to post some Legend of Zelda fics as well, if I can muster up the courage.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 

But It Helps To Hear You Say It Anyway (Huntlow), I Don’t Think About It (Huntlow), I See You (Huntlow), End of Side A (Poetic Bee, AKA Sara/Wirt)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? 

Yes, I do try to!! I don’t get a lot of comments, but I always love to read them, and I always try to reply!!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably But It Helps To Hear You Say It Anyway, since it ended on a bit of a bittersweet note. I’m not great with angst--I am very prone to fluffy endings (however unrealistic that tends to be).

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I would say I See You, I think. All my fics have relatively happy endings, though--I cannot help it. 

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, but I haven’t been posting fics for very long. I know it’s something a lot of fic authors deal with, which makes me sad--they get no pay or any kind of compensation for writing these stories, they just do it out of pure creativity and a need to share.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do not. I am a sex-repulsed ace, and it definitely shows. But power to those who do write it--you are far stronger than I.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No, the most “crossover” kind of thing I’ve ever toyed with is putting characters as the main characters of a different piece of media, like my eternal love for a Huntlow Breath of the Wild AU (which… I guess does technically count. But my point stands).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope, and if I did, I’d probably never know about it

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but if anyone ever wants to, please reach out!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but I’m open to the idea!! Maybe someday

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Do I really need to say it. Take one look at my account. But I’ll say it anyway because they have permanantly changed my brain chemistry-- HUNTLOW

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Uhhh, I have a WIP for an Owl House AU based on the game Spiritfarer, but it makes me sad to think about characters I like dying, so it’ll probably never get done.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like being descriptive, and I think I’m okay at that. I’ve also received compliments on my dialogue before! Otherwise, I just hope my fics are as comforting to others as I mean for them to be!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? 

I could go on all day, because I lack a lot of writing confidence, but I’ll say that I really wish I were better at describing action. A lot of the time, the characters end up doing a lot of head turning and sighing--it feels very bland and repetitive to me.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I definitely like the idea of it!! I just always worry about getting the translation accurate. I don’t want to try resorting to Google Translate 😅

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The first one I published for was The Owl House, but the first one I ever actually wrote for was Breath of the Wild. The Zelink in that game had me going crazy and made me actually realize “Hey wait, I can just write what I want”

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? 

I’m very critical of everything I write, but so far, out of the ones I’ve published, I would say I See You.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @marimbles! ♥️ No pressure tags: @litfeathers @lollytea @ashanimus @greyhavenisback @princecharmingwinks @tails89 @nutellarghh @ash-mcj @childlikegoblinqueen @daydreams-and-honeybees @avatarmerida @asarcasticwitch @sailahina @secretly-of-course @sapphic--kiwi @haystarlight @zyrafowe-sny @peachytea04 @slightecho

1. How many works do you have on AO3? just hit 100 last month!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 479,814

3. What fandoms do you write for? I've dabbled in quite a few over the years, but the ones I've written the most fics for are doctor who (eleven/amy) teen wolf (sterek) and the owl house (huntlow)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Error 404: Brain Cell Not Found (teen wolf | sterek) You Always Want What You're Running From (sleepy hollow | ichabbie) What To Do When Your Emotionally Constipated Werewolf Boyfriend Gets Cursed By A Witch: A Guide (teen wolf | sterek) Gold Rush (the owl house | huntlow) Lovesick (the owl house | huntlow) 5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do! Every kind comment means so much to me, so I always take the time to respond to all of them (though I'm not always great at getting to them on time.)

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmm probably The Courtesan and the Writer (doctor who | eleven/amy) I used to dabble in angst a bit more when I first started writing fic, but these days all my fics are pretty much guaranteed to have a happy ending, because real life is hard enough lol

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Pretty much all my fics have happy endings, but one of the happiest I wrote would probably be my huntlow college AU Until You Meet Someone Who Makes The Fall Feel Like Flying

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I wouldn't call it outright hate, but I have gotten a handful of rude comments over the years (complaining that I don't post often enough, telling me my headcanons are wrong, telling me how they think my story should have ended — one time someone yelled at me in all caps because I said that a character chilled red wine lol that one was wild)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do! Smut is fun. Mine is typically more focused on the emotional aspect than the physical, is usually the result of a long tension-fueled slow burn buildup, and is usually tooth-rottingly fluffy, soft, and sweet.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have! Back in the days where superwholock plagued tumblr, I wrote one of the silliest cross-overs imaginable, combining doctor who, torchwood, bbc sherlock, supernatural, the avengers, and sleepy hollow: Lords, Gods, and Madmen

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yup 🙃

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! But most of them never saw the light of day 😂 one that did is called An Eggcellent Morning For Cooking Lessons co-written with @ash-mcj @tails89 and @nutellarghh

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I think my top three ships are reflected in who I've written the most fic for: huntlow, sterek, and the eleventh doctor/amy pond

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Luckily, everything that's posted to AO3 is finished, but at this point I'm thinking I'll probably never get around to writing the little nightmares, reylo, and captain swan WIPs I've had sitting in my drafts since 2019

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told I capture the characters really well, which means a lot to me. I've also been told that my writing is cozy and comforting and fills people with warm fuzzy feelings, which is always nice to hear 🥰

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I will sit there and agonize over the same paragraph trying to make it sound perfect instead of just letting the writing flow, so sometimes a fic will be in the works for a very long time until it's finally ready to be posted (by which time I'm probably sick of it and never want to look at it again 😂)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've dabbled in this a little bit, but it's usually been plot-relevant, like a character learning to speak the language (i.e. when Hunter tried to learn Spanish in Being Human.) When I do write in another language, I always do my best to research and try to get the translations as accurate as possible, and I always include the English translation either in the fic itself or as an author's note so readers don't have to break away from my fic to google anything. (And also so that they know what my intention was, on the off-chance I translated something wrong and accidentally wrote something offensive.) 19. First fandom you wrote for?

Does anyone remember that vampire show that came out back in like 2009? Moonlight? Yeah, that one lol

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? God, that's like asking me to pick my favorite child. Okay fine, it's Until You Meet Someone Who Makes The Fall Feel Like Flying

"fiction doesnt affect reality" to YOU maybe. personally i designed an engagement ring for a hypothetical zelink wedding last year and now i cant ever get married unless i am proposed to with that specific ring that doesnt actually exist

hi. hello. go read this fic.

a silly hl comic i started and completely forgot to write dialogue for. ultimately it was that willow was leaving for a flyer derby competition and hunter already missed her and made a box of letters for her to read while she was away and both of them are just very emotional dhdhdgj

i'm not built for this

HAHHAH lethal company is insane 😭 video context for this below

this is the most embarrassing scream ive ever screamed in my life
