I prefer prompts or general chatting but if you're going to leave wank, put some effort into it. I want an essay, cited and with notations.

Not me vibrating with excitment over the sponsored prompt of Neuvi's first rut with Wriothesley after the lates Strange Pull update.

What do you mean you got all weird and beggy Wriothesley??? Give us the deets!!!

I don't want to spoil TOO much but

I know that Wriothesley has talked a lot about wanting to be dicked down in the series until this point, and while he's experimented with... things, he's never actually let another person fuck him SO Neuvillette's rut is technically the first time that he gets the D. Neuvillette is an alpha, but he's different on account of not being mortal SO his pheromones and such work a little differently and weird biology I guess, but let's just say that Wriothesley was very, very into it, and maybe not quite sex-pollened by said rut, but he was definitely lulled into a wanton state of being

Pots haver follower here. Recently you talked about Liquid IV and I was wondering if you've tried the pedialyte packets. They're just like the liquid IV but a bit more sodium and a little cheaper. I know this is so random in your ask box but you helped me get my diagnosis by talking about your pots and I just recently tried the pedialyte. Instantly thought of you and wanted to share!!

HMMM I didnt know the pedialyte actually have like... options??? Looking at the cost here, though, it's about the same T_T. IM going to try it though!!!! Thanks for the info heheheeh

Do you have any new ships that you've been into lately?

Not so much anything in new ships? But I admittedly need to catch up on both Genshin and HSR. I've been enjoying Galladay and Argenthill a LOT, and I'm eyeballing Mauvitano, ngl.

what has been your favorite platonic fic that you have written so far (published or a wip)?

MAN it's really hard for me to pick just one, you know? I have handfuls that I like the best, and all for different reasons. But if I had to narrow it down, some of my faves are 'Dear Madame Ping' (Genshin), ''Lil Sprout' (Pokemon), 'Here Lies Father Sky' (Fire Emblem 7), 'Bright is the Spark that Burns (Genshin), and then two unpublished things: 'Dreamers' (Genshin) and 'Elegy of Death (HSR).

I could list more but it's really just like... the more that you write, or the more things you have to pick from, the harder it is to narrow down, ahaha.

What is your writing environment like

Depends! Ultimately, I work best when I'm not at home; this is why I like to go out to cafes and such to write. I pop my headphones in, and I'm not distracted by TV, the internet, etc. If I'm home, I prefer to type at my desk because I like my keyboard but lately I've had to swap to the couch a lot and use my laptop, because my chair is currently broken. My new one comes in tomorrow though, so hopefully that'll make being at my desk a little better.

If I'm just slapping out words and such, I'll usually watch something in the background. If I'm editing, I'll listen to music. If I really need to focus, I tend to stream because that really keeps me on target!

how do you get into the mood to write? like do you have little rituals, etc?

My days tend to go the same way over all: I have my cup of coffee and eat something as I do my genshin dailies, then I look at my calendar and decide what to work on. I wouldn't say that I have specific like writing rituals, or anything; once I figure out what to work on, I tend to just sit down and start working, ahahah.

I'm so glad to see some more zhongchi coming from you!!!

I'm glad to be writing some!!! But, to be fair, I've actually been writing quite a bit behind the scenes, ahahah.

i just wanted to say that your somno fics are top top tier, and I think about them a lot. there's just something about the way you write somno soft and loving that just really hits the right spot, and i love that you always mention that theyve consented to it. there was a part of socially awkward that stuck out to me when wriothesley intentionally woke him up because they hadnt talked about that and i just really love that sort of attention to detail

Ahhhh thank you so much for reading and enjoying! Somno is one of those things that I REALLY love to write, and I think that consensual somno is just... man. There's something about the trust of it, the way that couples talk about it, set those boundaries, etc; it's just what I love about it. The romance of it is just... hnnnnng.

you talking about dehyazad and guiping really makes me want to see more sapphic works from you please

I want to write more!!! I always have a lot of ideas for them, but I wind up working on other things instead. BUT! For Lucy's Caffeine Rush zine, I wrote a sapphic romance about a witch who brews spells with coffee, so... soon. SOON.

What about some guiping, Ann? Are you down for doomed yuri, and do you like Guizhiong/Ping?

GUIPING, MY BELOVEDDDDDDD. MAN I LOVE GUIPING SO MUCH. It's just so tragic, so lovely, just AHHHHHH. Hits the feels, you know? It's the same reason that I liked GuiLi before we learned about Madame Ping and Guizhong's backstory. I'm a hoe for like... intense love that ends in tragedy, which I know most wouldn't gleam from my work.

In an omegaverse setting for Dehya/Dunyarzad, what do you think the collar would look like that the alpha would gift the omega? Left ambiguous because I couldn't decide who would be who haha

HMMMM. I don't really like collaring in omegaverse, personally, but I also don't like traditional a/b/o pairings and trpoes, typically. If this was a more standard alpha/omega pairing, I'd actually prefer Dehya to be the omega with Dunyarzad giving her a really nice, expensive collar as a gift. Something more understated, though; leather, thin so that it doesn't get in the way, with gold fastenings.

THAT BEING SAID, alpha/alpha Dehya/Dunyarzad has a really delicious ring to it, and I think that Dunyarzard should still give Dehya a collar, and I think that Dehya would not only accept it, but happily wear it too.

Ahhh I love that a lot of people are migrating from twitter now, I hardly saw your posts anymore...now I had your invite to hang out in retrospring on top of my timeline two days in a row on bsky <3

I've definitely noticed that I genuinely see the posts of mutuals and stuff now? It's not only great piece of mind, but I'm just glad that I see things from folks. My twitter timeline was so dry, even when set to following only. It's a really nice breath of fresh air, and I'm liking the new functionality of blusky far more.

Plus, I don't get searchbanned when I mention retro anymore LOL.

Are your trello boards or prompt list up to date?

The prompt list should be, but the trello is months out of date; I've been needing to update it lol. I told myself when I'd do so once I posted a slew of stuff but I just got into an editing slog ahah.

You write for so many fandoms, ships, and characters, do you get emotionally invested in each piece you write? If Yes, how do you move on from one "investment" to the next so quickly, do you get bogged down by certain stories and find it hard to move on? If No, how do you stay motivated or inspired for each thing you write?

I don't write things that I'm not invested in! Sure, there are things that I'd say I'm more emotionally tied to than others, but I won't write something that I am not invested in, for sure. This is probably why I tend to write so much--I'm, admittedly, inspired by a lot of things. I like a lot of characters, a lot of ships, a lot of ideas, and it's probably the ADHD brain going brrrr.

Because of this, I rarely have issues with wanting to write something, or hammering out issues, it's heavily the opposite-- when I struggle to work on things, it's because I have too many things I want to work on, ahahaha.

At the same time, having so many things really helps keep the creative juices flowing. If I'm not vibing with something at that moment, I'll swap to something else momentarily. Because I can swap back and forth from stuff, it's easier for me to write a lot/etc.

As far as motivation, it's kinda of hard to describe for me? I just don't really struggle on working on things, or get bogged down. I'm able to swap back and forth depending on my mood, and I don't really have to 'prep' much to work on something. I don't really find it hard to move from one thing to another, especially since I write several series, etc; I just kind of have my pick to work on.

I definitely have rituals/things that I do to get into the groove for writing itself, though; I tend to do a warm up, or maybe I write a little something something for a prompt. Sometimes I make a drink and research for something. If it's a character I've never written before, I'll likely pick through the wiki or look at their voicelines, etc. Just depends on what I'm doing!
