5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

In miraculous, I wanted to write an Adrinette fic where the seat change in Chameleon stuck and Adrien and Marinette became close, writing each other notes and stuff, and coming up with silly ways to mock Lila. Together they kinda defang her without the whole exposure and revenge bits, but it never turned into anything beyond that so it never went anyway. And now, I don't think I would even try given that most everything connected with Chameleon is salty as hell and I just don't jive with any of it.

Most of my truly truly abandoned ideas are from old fandoms. I had a novelization of Chrono Trigger that I got about a third of the way through, and I had two more ideas for multichapters in Sailor Moon. One of them was a senshi/shitennou story about Venus/Kunzite that took place in the same universe as my Ami/Zoi fic, Invisible Wounds. In it Mina started dating a guy she THOUGHT was the reincarnated Kunzite, but is actually Ace. And he's super controlling and it's not great and she keeps trying to convince herself it's not that bad - he's like her soulmate and stuff so it has to work, right?! Anyway, eventually she decides it doesn't matter if he's her soulmate if this is what that means, she breaks free, but there's a super dark scene where Ace kills himself in front of her hoping it will haunt her forever - trying to continue his control/abuse. Meanwhile Kunzite, is actually there as her bodyguard. I don't think I wrote a scene in his perspective until the end, but I don't remember. I was trying really hard to make people THINK that Ace was Kunzite and that the body guard was just my own OC in the background as someone Mina liked to ramble at. Haha! Anyway, I think it was an ambitious project and I kinda fell out of the fandom around that time, so I never really wanted to bite if off.

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?

I have no idea. I tend to keep my titles pretty simple. I like them to identify the central theme of the fic.

Chapter titles are especially hard for me and I tried not naming chapters for awhile, but then when I go back I'd have a hard time finding scenes. So now, I tend to just not stress about it and give it a title that's enough to remember what's in the chapter for me. I don't often read chapter titles myself, and maybe am mistakenly assuming that others don't either.

2. what's a fic that took you to an emotional/dark/hard place?

Invisible Wounds - Sailor Moon - AmiZoi

So... I self inserted myself into this fic as Zoisite's mother. Not because I feel any super connection to Zoisite, but because I figured that was a really really easy way to make her feel real as an original character with just a line or two of dialogue here or there. She's a minor character. Like super minor. But since she's me, I gave Zoi's little brother the same disorder as my son (when I could have picked ANTYHING else). And like, it's a life limiting condition and for plot reasons I needed his little brother to die. (Do you see where I'm going with this??) So I did a ton of research specifically into how my son's disorder will eventually kill him. And then I wrote the fucking scene. Let's just say I cried doing the research, I cried writing the scene, and every now and again I go back and read it and cry all over again. Like WHY would I do this to myself? (I think it's because I needed to know, and doing it for a fic meant I could pretend there was a layer of psychological defense, which there absolutely wasn't).

The ironic thing is the research that killed me for this piece is for an unposted chapter near the end of the story. And it's getting increasingly difficult for me to work on this story because it is a medical drama centered around an epidemic that I started writing in 2016 before pandemics were a part of my daily life. And it's not that writing about an epidemic is hard/dark, so much as it feels like work, instead of an escape. So I'm not sure anyone is even going to get to read the scene! (But I got a comment on this story a few weeks back and I reread a lot of the upcoming bits, and it's sooooo good. It's a story that deserves to be told... too bad I don't currently have those mental emotional spoons).

4. what fic of your own do you read for comfort?

Best Friends and Boyfriends - Miraculous Ladybug - Adrino

This is the most self indulgent fic I have ever written in my life, and when I'm low and just want to smile and laugh, this is the fic I go to most often. I lvoe the relationship, its development, the conflict, the make up from their fight, and the reveal! And it is the perfect length to get some development, and still be read in about an hour.

And honestly, I can reread almost any of my fics. I will often pick the one that I haven't read in the longest amount of time (also depends on what I'm in the mood for), and then sit back and kinda just be amazed that I wrote the thing? It's crazy. But I love that I have my own little library that is kinda tailored just to me!

5. what fic of your own won't you read?

I don't know that I have a fic I won't read. (See above), but the one that comes closest?

Anything to Protect You - Sailor Moon - Usamamo Fake Dating

Now, I'm actually insanely proud of this fic, and to this day think it's one of the better things I've written. It's got one of the best kisses I've ever written, some positively adorable dates, one of the best battles I've ever written, and a really satisfying reveal moment!!

So why don't I like to read it? Because I hated writing it!! It was a gift for an exchange and so it had to be finished. And it was tailored to my giftee so perfectly and I was excited about THAT, but it was late and ended up taking up a good six months. Actually, one of the things I LOVE about this fic is that it really taught me that I could 1) be disciplined and finish the things I wanted to finish whatever my brain had to say about it (ha!), and 2) could write a really good story even when I myself wasn't invested.

I do occasionally reread it and am floored by some of the moments in it, but it also brings up all the feelings/memories of obligation and forcing myself to work on it when my heart wanted to work on other things. So I think I resent it sometimes that OTHER things didn't get finished instead (like Invisible Wounds!!). But on the other hand, I'm really really glad it exists as well. And clearly this one is going to be read by way more people than my rarepair content ever will. Feelings are complicated.

Thank you @karkalicious769 for the ask!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's that I'm not romantically inclined towards women, but I can't get really into femslash, and I WANT to like it (and intellectually I DO love it) and I do occasionally dabble (usually when it's a writer I already love such as yourself), but have been unable to become obsessed.

In miraculous this includes marigami, alyanette, and in Sailor Moon any of the senshi x senshi pairings.

Despite not being obsessed myself, I do get really excited anytime I see more of these pairings being created. It actually drives me crazy how few female characters there are in the top ships.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

I think I could use an Alya in my life. Someone who would encourage me to grow and get out of my comfort zone, but also be endlessly patient when I don't always succeed, who always has my back, and is willing to think things out with me.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

I think it's no secret that I'm obsessed with identity reveals, and why I suspect I will be in the miraculous fandom for awhile yet and why I was in Sailor Moon before this.

I also love contrived nonsense in general - meddling friends, locked in a closet, mind reading, body swap, etc. Which is why I think I like the dual identity dynamic - it leads to lots of ridiculous nonsense!!

Childhood SM fic!!

Avatar

I got this idea while on my recent Sailor Moon fic binge. 

I don't have any of it actually written out yet, but basically due to timeline shenanigans stuff, Usagi keeps getting sent back into the past to when Mamoru is little at the orphanage. And this is after they're together and happy in the future, so of course she loves him and is kind to him and tells him how he's going to be so loved some day. And then she stops coming because magic. But when he finally meets her in the regular timeline, he recognizes her. But of course she doesn't recognize him. And he kind of resents her for it and there were going to be shenanigans. 

I don't know if I'll ever write it, but it wasn't supposed to be overly long, just cute.

You know I’m going to be the one who asks about #10: SM Motherhood Reveal🙃🙃

Avatar

It’s actually perfect that you asked me about this one because it was my goal last year to finish it by September 12th… for some RANDOM reason! But this last year sucked, and that didn’t happen. (Sorry! But you know I love you!!!)

But anyway, this is supposed to be the fourth part of the Tsukino family reveals. And it’s sort’ve a reverse reveal! Where Usagi learns that her mother knows. And they get to talk for… real. (I also have a part five where Ikuko and Kenji get into a fight about it and I think that will conclude the series).

Here’s a snippet:

“Usagi!” Ikuko exclaimed, throwing her arms around the girl the second she returned. Her eyes searching for any sign of injury. “I’m so glad you made it down the mountain trail! When we had to split I was so worried.”

Usagi eyed her mother. “Uh… yeah, it was the long way around. But I got away.”

“Usagi-chan! Are you alright?” Kenji demanded.

“Just scraped up my leg. Mama, maybe you want to take a look?”

Ikuko didn’t answer the question blazing from her daughter’s eyes. She couldn’t. Not in front of her husband and son. “Of course dear. Let’s head to the bathroom.”

“That was so cool!” Shingo was saying.

Ikuko closed the bathroom door, and then every one of her senses was trained on her daughter as she did a more thorough seearch for wounds. “Are you okay? Any injuries?” she asked, not bothering to hide the urgency with which she needed to know.

Usagi ignored the concern. “How long have you known?”

“Almost from the beginning,” Ikuko admitted, her fingers ruffling through hair long golden hair, looking for scrapes or bruises on Usagi’s scalp.

“How?”

“Luna is not as quiet or as subtle as she thinks she is. And I’ve always been a very light sleeper.”

“Why have you never said anything?!” Usagi demanded, pulling away from Ikuko’s reach.

“I always hoped you would tell me one day,” she said softly.

So, it’s technically the next day for me, and I can’t sleep, so I’m going to post my next mamoUsa art.

This theme technically fits better with day three “Emotions.” But since I’m not posting a day three, I’m going to title this lost and found.

I tried my hand at a GIF today for fun!

Thank you to the hosts @usamamoweek2022 once again! Check out all the really awesome content coming out! I probably won’t post again until Saturday unless inspiration strikes, but I will be reading all the great new fic ❤️

So I feel like what’s happening to Marinette in the Ladybug fandom is the same thing that happened to Usagi in the Sailor Moon fandom in the early 00s.

Both are heroines with relatable, human flaws. Marinette is a basketcase of anxiety with a healthy dose of Overthinking and Cringe, and Usagi is a crybaby ditz who falls over her own feet and is Really Great at eating and sleeping. Both are WONDERFUL heroines. They get shit done, they’re badass, and above all else, they do not have to be perfect for it. They’re a giant fuck you middle finger in the face of sexism and productivity culture, saying that no, you do not have to check every box and it is OK who you are, you’re extraordinary the way you are. That femininity overall is great and that being an embarrassingly crushing teenage girl is great, too. These characters stand for embracing the fact that people aren’t machines and they aren’t obligated to play the role that society desperately wants them to.

And yet there are pockets of fandom for both - in this example with Marinette, in the 00s with Usagi, of largely young female writers who get Very Angry at both these characters and write these rigid gender expectations and perfectionist hegemonic role expectations they themselves suffer under onto these characters: Marinette gets her “shit together” and banishes her relatable and adorable crushing on Adrien and all that entails and becomes Responsible Perfection ™, and Usagi cuts her silly hair, gets a tutor and aces all her classes and also never falls on her butt or cries again and becomes Responsible Perfection, too. All in the name of “growing up” or “being more mature” as if that means you leave your personality at the door of a magic threshold someday and what remains of you is a cardboard ad of adulthood that displays only obligation, productivity, conformity and societal norms. In this process of “getting their shit together”, both characters lose everything that make them more human (including their relatability and everything about the character that is so, so healthy as a role model), and instead they become a stencil of external expectations.

And that’s sad. Because that means these harmful scripts are so deeply internalized that they are seen as obligations not only for the writer, but also for the character. So deeply ingrained that apparently there are young authors out there that get ANGRY at these characters when they don’t perform these rigid shackles of expectations they themselves suffer from.

(Good news, as the Sailor Moon fandom aged, Usagi was eventually largely embraced for exactly who she was, and it’s now a rare egg to see her getting changed in fics, as her quirks are finally largely loved and appreciated. Here’s to hoping the same will happen in the Ladybug fandom as the fandom base ages, too.)
