I cannot get over the assassination happening while I was trying to get coverage for my testosterone. Imagine going into the pharmacy all excited to get your first ever testosterone prescription but find out it costs 800$ out of pocket for a three month supply and UHC won't cover it. So then you wait for your provider to get back to you about changing your prescription for an entire week and a half, and during that wait someone just. goes and fucking murders the CEO of your insurance company. Like they just kill him on the street. They had so much calculated hatred for this guy that they even engraved each bullet that hit him. Then, as if the heavens themselves opened up entirely to watch brian thompson descend into hell, your testosterone is ready two days later for pickup, and only costs 10 delicious dollars.
20 questions for writers.
1: How many works do you have on AO3?
11, as of yet.
2: What's your total AO3 wordcount?
212,620. I have three WIPs that are swap AUs or other AUs that are rewrites of a show/manga's entire run, so it's gonna get even larger.
3: What fandoms do you write for?
Different ones. Demon Slayer and Fullmetal alchemist get the most attention, but there's also SCP, The Owl House, Alice and the Nightmare, and a couple others. How do you think I got a wordcount of 6 digits?
4: What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Cleaning off the Blood (Demon Slayer), Hallow Mind (The Owl House), The Bastard and the Naukara (Hellsing manga), The Jaws that bite, the Claws that Catch (Alice and the Nightmare), Soul Armor Alchemist (Fullmetal Alchemist).
Of course, that's with the kudos bot, so once you get rid of those, it goes,
Cleaning off the Blood, Hallow Mind, The Bastard and the Naukara, Soul Armor Alchemist, Happy Hotel (Hazbin Hotel),
So about the same.
5: Do you respond to comments?
Yeah. When I comment on other fics, I like it when the author replies to my comment, So when others comment on my fic, I reply to their comments.
6: What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I generally don't like fics with bad endings, but I'm in the process of writing The Hodgson Expedition, a fic about the Hodgson expedition, which you find the remains of, literal and otherwise, while playing House of Ashes, a videogame about vampires and the Iraq war.
7: What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
It's unfinished right now, but Soul Armor Alchemist the same ending that the manga it's based off of has, so it'll have the happiest ending.
8: Do you get hate on fics?
A few bot comments. Thankfully, that's it.
9: Do you write smut fics?
As of yet, only one, Caramel Creme. It's got a lot of tongue play and caramel sauce, as you might expect.
10: Do you write crossovers?
No.
11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No. I think I'd be somewhere in between flattered and livid if that happened.
12: Have you ever had a fic translated?
No. Hablo un poco de Espanol, so I've floated the idea of translating my works myself, but that's a far off project if it ever happens.
13: Have you ever co-written a fic?
No. I can get territorial with my ideas, so I don't think that I would be a good writing partner.
14: What is your all time favorite ship?
This is why you don't multiship, kids- You can't answer Tumblr questions like these.
15: What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't have those, because if I don't finish a fic, the idea of it will rattle around in my head, faster and faster, like ricocheting bullets, until I give in and complete it or go mad.
16: What are your writing strengths?
I'm good at thinking ahead, so I can plan out a story well in advance.
17: What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm good at thinking ahead, which means I spend a bunch of time fantasizing about what something will look like instead of making it look like that.
18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fics?
I don't trust Google translate, y yo hablo Espanol, pero soy muy gringo, so I don't trust myself either. If I could, I might.
19: First Fandom you wrote for?
Demon Slayer.
20: Favorite fic you've written?
Cleaning off the Blood. It was horribly written when I started, because I was 14, but now, it's something I can be genuinely proud of.
I feel like I need to reiterate this, Americans, we do not EVER turn anyone in for the reward money, because the reward money is a LIE!
There will be a reason they come up with for not giving it to you. Even Nancy, the snitch at McDonald's, who everyone in the world knows turned in Luigi Mangione, will not get a penny of the reward money. The reason she is getting is that she called 911 instead of the tip line.
But there are other reasons, like, the cops already had the info you gave them from "other sources". "Lots of other people" called in the same tip. The reward was "up to" the amount promised, so you're getting $1.50. You didn't do the proper paperwork before you gave the tip. And just about anything else you can think of.
They won't give any money out until the person is actually convicted, not just arrested. It could take years for a case to even get to court. If the suspect takes a plea deal, then did your info really lead to a "conviction"? Or by the time the suspect is convicted, suddenly the money is not there. Reward money? What reward money? It isn't like they have it sitting in a box waiting to hand it over to you after the conviction. No, after the conviction, now they need to try to find the amount they put up for the reward. And who's budget is that going to come out of? Who wants to put that money in your pocket instead of their own? Okay? Understand? Got it?
You never get the reward money!
Any article or convsersation about crime or drugs or security must reference Trump's clear criminal record, clear adoration of white nationalist terrorists, clear dug addiction, and clear theft of National Security documents.
There is no security or safer communities when Trump releases the most violent, warped, and depraved offenders. These people were wicked.
