🍣🥮 for the asks!
Thank you for the ask!
🍣 What helps you focus or get in the mood to write?
Often times music has a big influence on my writing mood! I have various playlists on Spotify or YouTube that help me get in the mindset to write for different characters or different genres.
Other times I day dream or visualize the scene that I'm planning to write before I write it. I find this helps me get in the right mood and mindset to write the particular scene I was aiming for.
And if all that fails, then I just scroll tumblr, or read, or do something else entirely! I am very much influenced by my mood when it comes to writing, and if my brain has decided it's not time to write, unfortunately I've learned I have to listen to it. I find it better to come back to the fic/writing piece with a clear mind and clear ideas rather than push through the mental block.
🥮 Do you have any writing milestones you're working toward?
In the world of fanfic, I am attempting to take a more organized approach to my next longfic. I am outlining much more thoroughly and will be going through piece by piece to write it entirely and make sure I like what is written before posting.
Although I personally love my Rexsoka longfic (That Familiar Yet Unfamiliar Feeling), the end became super delayed because I realized that the ending I'd originally envisioned no longer worked for the character development, since I'd written the ending many, many months before some of the middle parts. This time around I want to have a more solid idea of where the story is going and how my characters are going to get there before I even begin writing, which is a challenge for me since I am usually more of a chaos writer haha. I also want to incorporate more character POVs and subplots to this next piece.
Ultimately, I am really striving to improve my writing abilities, and I think the best way to do that is through writing and reading more, and challenging myself in new and exciting ways!

rex with long hair............
Lucanis Dellamorte’s perfect relaxation: Sprawled on top of Rook, head on their chest. In one hand Rook holds the newest book from his favorite romance serial, from which they’re reading aloud. Their other arm is around him, and that hand alternates between stroking his hair and scratching his back.
Man’s completely blissed out. Barely knows his own name. What’s a Talon? He doesn’t know.
(Spite takes over briefly. “I think. You broke him.”
Rook laughs.
No, Lucanis replies blearily in his mind. I think they fixed me.)
a rare rexsoka from me; close-up and lines under the cut 💙🤍🧡

I've heard it said that the appeal of the Solas romance is that he's a god who thinks Lavellan is a special princess. But this is clearly a misunderstanding, because the whole point of Solas is that he is not a god. He's ultimately just a weird nerd and I do not personally think he would fall in love with someone because they're a special princess. He falls in love with Lavellan because she's also fucking weird in ways that are partly similar to and partly complementary to his own brand of weird.
It makes me think of the quote commonly misattributed to Dr Seuss about finding someone whose weirdness is compatible with your own. Solas calls Lavellan 'unique,' and yes, she is; but not because she's uniquely special and perfect but because her weirdness happens to be particularly compatible with his weirdness, and he's experiencing for the first time the astonishing bliss of finding someone who you really click with after a lifetime of never fitting in anywhere.
Post apocalyptic Crosshair with guitar (it can also be used as a weapon btw). Concept by @devinsisland.
Ask game: ✨❌🎢
Thank you for the ask! These are so fun :)
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment.
Awww this is a sweet one. I guess I'd have to say I'm really proud of the way I've been able to inhabit different character's perspectives, even those who are very different from my own. In particular, I really enjoy writing the character Crosshair from The Bad Batch, and for those who know me, he and I couldn't have any more different of mindsets XD
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
Oddly enough, this was the hardest question for me to answer, because I've never given much of thought to what tropes I wouldn't write. In saying that, I don't think I'd ever write the "ugly duckling" story line (ie. all it takes is for her to remove her glasses and BAM he falls in love lol she was beautiful all along, who knew). I think it can be a fun trope if done right, but it's not what I enjoy writing myself.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
I think I'd have to say my long fic, "That Familiar, Yet Unfamiliar Feeling"! I just went through such an array of emotions, stages of motivation and whatnot for this fic. It's was the very first fanfic I ever wrote, so the journey to get it to a state worthy of posting was a crazy one at times.
Just an aspiring writer and Star Wars lover 🧡 You can find me as Snips2112 on ao3 as well!
