Theoretically-writing-fics - Cloudy

tell me your favorite fics

AN EXCELLENT QUESTION! Tbh I'm... idk I wouldn't call it picky, but I have a very specific taste in fic 😋😋 while at the same time I'll read basically anything?? I can definitely list out some of my absolute faves though! (Though these aren't all of them of course, we'd be here all day)

I'll continue under a cut to keep it from getting long!

For Gen Fics:

Gotta start with the OG, Darkness Exists to Make the Light Truly Count by aquaquadrant, this was the first TTS fic I read where I went "yeah this FUCKS". Unfinished and probably abandoned, unfortunately, but damn the stuff that's there is so good it makes me feral

Then I love Labrynths of the Heart by izabellwit, which I binge read in one night, staying up until about 5am to finish because holy SHIT it's so good it makes me insane!! It's funny because I didn't actually meet iza until about a year (?) later but damn was I a fan since day one lmaooo

OH and Return to Me by arcticpersephone owns my whole ass rn, it makes me absolutely bonkers every time there's an update!! The characterization of Varian and Rapunzel especially make me INSANE

There's also Chemiluminescence by ScottyFree, which was a bit of a sleeper hit for me, I knew I was going to like it I just didn't anticipate how much it FUCKS--I really enjoy the uncle Hector content lmao

For a platonic soulmate fix (because I am soulmate trash in all ways) I really loved Tell me, is something wrong by AngstingQueen. It's a really great integration of soulmates into the TTS canon and its GOOD FOOD

THEN we've got Frea the Huts O’ Your Tenant Folk by SiryyGray which just. It fucks. It fucks severely. I loved watching the mystery of it expand and adapt and it drove me BONKERS

Also a recent addition, but The Third Amber by Samuri_Jill is REALLY GOOD I love the apple dad content, it really goes into Varian and Quirin’s relationship and I'm kind of obsessed with it

OKAY I THINK THATS ENOUGH GEN LMAO

For Varigo Fics

FIRST UP is if i hated you (and i really, really do) by miss battybatzgirl, because holy SHIT. Holy shit. Her interpretation of varigo drives me feral, just batshit bonkers, literally anything by her makes me foam at the mouth

THEN we have one iced grande triple espresso by ashdoesfandom aka THE FUNNIEST MF IVE EVER MET!! Seriously, all of ashs fics have such an amazing sense of humor to them, it makes me weep because I can't handle it lololol

This one might be biased since they gifted it to me, but We’re Just Ships Passing in the Night, But I Want You Forever by Cayenneavocado is GOOD. IT FUCKS. It's that perfect blend of drama and lighthearted shenanigans that does me in, every time I stg

Then I'd recommend You Say Jump by bean_reads_fanfic! I loved ella enchanted as a kid, so seeing how that concept plays out in the TTS universe was SO FUN! (Also I know this is you but honestly its a good fic so shhhh)

Also!! Varian Stone and the Vanishing Bandit by Hybrix_Hijinx owned my entire ass while it was posting, I've never listened to Juno Stone so it was totally fresh to me and I LOVED IT

AND FINALLY

(Like the moon) I'll sway the tide and lead you astray by chamiryokuroi and ThatOneGirlBehindYou is FANTASTIC if you're willing to be a bit of a multishipper and stray from varigo 😂 in my defense it pre-dates varigo by quite a bit, and it's *so fucking good* not enough people have read this and it's a damn shame

Thank you for the ask!! This was a lovely trip down memory lane lol, lotta stuff I have to reread on this list, it's been too long ❤️❤️

*grabs rigged lie detector that shows I'm telling the truth.* What that's crazyyyy don't see why you'd think that honestly

Hello. Heard you know about the gay river. It's currently suffering from a drought... it's Autumn rn, y'know, super hot weather that makes skyscrapers melt? So you really don't have to wrroy about the gay river. It's gone. Trust me. I mean- I wouldn't know.

For some reason I feel like you’re lying to me.

Hugo, it's not too late to ask for help when you need it.

Why the fuck does your boyfriend cut his hair so weird? It's hard to draw man!

Bit confused as tow hy you're drawing him, but @blondebitch7k actually does have a reason. He cuts his own hair. Sometimes without a mirror and then he sees it in the mirror and thinks it's cool and edgy. It's not. After meeting me, Nuru and Yong, he's decided to trust me and nuru with his hair so it's not TOO bad now. His hair when we met him... that's a whole other kind of monstrosity. I shudder thinking about jt

So he's Steven Universe?

Yong headcanons and thoughts!!! If I may!!

YONG my PRECIOUS

-he has a lot of running jokes with himself. this comes from being overlooked a lot as a kid (you have to be your own source of entertainment when people don’t want to play with you), but it eventually just became part of his nature. these running jokes include making the most diabolically sexual comments and then blinking innocently when the rest of the group whirls around to look at him. “what? does that mean something?” they are his puppets and he is their master.

-he gets eczema sometimes. varian made some olay-worthy lotion for him.

-very musically talented! hand him any instrument and he’ll make a little ditty within a couple minutes.

-he thinks varian’s the coolest, hugo is the most suave, and nuru is the most wise. then he witnesses varian spend five minutes trying to extricate his boot from a hole it got stuck in without realizing that he can use his chemicals. and then he sees hugo go bright red when varian gets fed up and scoops him off the ground, slinging him over his shoulder. then he watches nuru realize she was holding her map upside down for the last forty minutes and discreetly adjust it. then he comes to the conclusion that he, yong, is the team leader.

-certified bug lover. he will pick up a cicada and present it to hugo, who will yelp and smack it out of his hand. this cycle will repeat with more and more frightening bugs. yong is using his innocent face, but he revels in hugo’s terror.

-one of the proudest days of his life was when he made a joke that had the other three in hysterics, even hugo.

-his main love language is quality time, then words of affirmation :D

sometimes you gotta write a full-on ghost story reducing the 14-year-old antagonist of the first season of that dumb tangled spin-off show to a vengeful cryptid, because that’s what everyone saw him as

and make said story told by a princess whose state of nonexistence is even more severe than the other fictional Disney princesses

while sitting around a campfire with a well-intentioned 12-year-old pyromaniac, a thief who’s going to betray them, and the exact murderous cryptid she’s unknowingly weaving her tale about.

it’s gonna be called “fear is the heart of love”, and if i ever finish it, i’m inflicting the ao3 link upon you.

imagine hugo's voice goin on low octave whenever he speaks ingvarrian....

oh varian, my dear, youre so cooked

Trying to draw timeskip Hugo and I don't even know what to do with his hair. Like I made it longer so it would be easier but it's really not. Also I had to erase it multiple times so I accidentally made Baldgo 😭😭😭

they are, in fact, autistic

Hugo, I'll lend you gay water but please stop with the dairy.

so someone has a gay river full of gay water and i have a strong suspicion they're giving Hugo some of it

Why do you Anons like making my child sick? It’s just more of a mess for me to deal with than anything.

i have the slightest theory that varian and the seven kingndoms could become real but im probably delusional

and my evidence?

these😭😭😭

because idk why but it feels a LITTLE ODD for jeremy to drop a tts varian and cass signing randomly but AGAIN, I COULD BE DELUSIONAL so dont take this too seriously im just a man

(the second pic isnt very specific but its jeremy jordan and others posting about an upcoming varian and cass signing on insta)
