The Queen's Thief for the ask game!!
Oo, that's a good one!
send me a fandom and I’ll tell you…
the first character I ever fell in love with: I think it's gotta be Gen. His unreliable, irreverent, and endearing narration in TT is hard to pass up.
a character that I used to love/like, but now do not: I'm not sure if I have one of these beyond the villains who reveal themselves midway.
a ship that I used to love/like, but now do not: I feel like my ship opinions have stayed pretty consistent, actually
my ultimate favorite character™: This is hard because I love all of them! I'm torn between Gen and Costis I think (but cutting Irene hurts). Gen makes this series what it is, but Costis's love and loyalty are awesome (and I may relate with his attempts to be the responsible one a little too much, lol).
prettiest character: Irene
my most hated character: Nahuseresh
my OTP: Irenides :)
my NOTP: Relius and Teleus. I love them as friends, but not as lovers.
favorite episode: I'm going to interpret this as favorite incident, which is probably the section in QoA that goes from Irene putting on the earrings to "Diplomacy, in my own name." It was so cool to figure out the first time, and it's still so fun to reread.
saddest death: Probably Pol? There aren't a ton of major character deaths really, which is actually a bit surprising.
favorite season: My favorite book is either Queen of Attolia or King of Attolia.
least favorite season: I don't really find Thick as Thieves very compelling.
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but I hate: No one's really coming to mind.
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: He's not a piece of trash, but I love the Magus even when he's scheming and loyal to Sounis.
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: I feel like Sophos is the obvious answer for this, but Helen a bit too.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and I lowkey ship them, but I’m not too invested’ ship: Eugenides the god and Alyta.
send me a fandom and i’ll tell you…
the first character i ever fell in love with:
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:

What headmate has the weirdest (/pos) way of talking/typing?
Lol we got an anon for the ask game but we're dumb and accidentally deleted it whoops anyway,, we're pretty sure they were asking about 8. 12 and 15
8. Which headmate has the most specific role?
That's me, Ace. I front when we need to get our butt into bed. The others tend to lose track of body needs, and falling asleep is easy for me.
12. What headmate was the biggest surpise?
Emmy, hands down. We couldn't even blame hyperfixation, really, he simply crashed into our head at random. He was actually one of the strongest factors in us coming to terms that we were a system. (We knew something was up, but he really rebelled whenever we tried to convince ourselves that we were faking) so... double wammy surprise.
15. What headmate has the weirdest (/pos) way of talking/typing?
Hah! That'd be Dusty or Metal! Dusty likes to revert to l33t speak sometimes while Metal almost always communicates through 2000's emotes.

ohhh sounds fun
• learning a new move in aerial silks • digital art <3 • having lunch convos with my bestie about ocs • going to dances that the guy I like is at 🤭 • seeing KitKats posts (ily moot)
I don’t know why I'm doing this, I suck at guessing… oh well, here we are so I guess I’ll give it a shot. I assume you like comfy and casual more than fancy or pretty clothes. You have close to shoulder length hair and prefer to keep it down rather than up. And you like wearing sandals more?
I’m crossing my fingers that I got at least one right, but I have no clue.
Thanks for the ask
So I do usually wear casual clothes except for at church and stuff but I actually love wearing dresses even though I’m sensitive to clothing textures (I seriously can’t even wear jeans)
your exactly right there, though it really is longer than shoulder length but it looks shorter because it’s curly.
Yeah I do wear it down a lot, hairstyles give me headaches.
in the summer I definitely do wear sandals a lot but unfortunately for you I prefer close toed shoes.
2 1/2 out of 4 is pretty good I’d say
Could you do these: 🎈 ⚔️ 🩶 ❤️ 🪽 for the ask game please?
oh these one look fun. Okay let’s get into it.
❤️- oh love languages this is kinda hard. So I would actually say physical touch is one of my top ones, though there are very few people I’m comfortable enough with to be like that. Also I would say just sharing tidbits about my life and my thoughts is a love language for me, and listening to the other person life. It just the small things about talking to people that’s really important to me.
⚔️- for this I’d say my skill at just drawing and stuff, and often times I’ll make and art projects or paintings for family members, for example when my grandmother was really sick with cancer a few years ago i made a painting with one of her favorite quotes (“ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”) it was a very meaningful and uplifting moment with the family and I’m thankful for it.
🩶- I’d say I’m kinda a mix between the mom friend and the funny one, like if somebody is feeling down I’m there to listen and give advice and stuff but I can also make everyone laugh and just bring the good vibes, I’m also very much the talkative one.
🎈- so I may or may not have mentioned this but I do aerial silks and recently I was able to do eggbeater footlocks which are a pretty hard move that involves a lot of arm strength so I’m proud of it.
🪽- for just a day I would want to fly. No wings or anything just fly, maybe like have airbending that would be cool but mostly just be able to be free soaring in the sky.
Ohhh this is adorable
other ask games are too sexual or romantic and i dont like that so im making my own, bitch
🫂 - i wanna hug you
🧠- i love hearing you talk. you should ramble to me more often
🫀- i love you in a deeply concerning platonic way
💿- i wanna listen to music with you in a treehouse in a summer night
🌷- i wanna shittalk people with you and just be haters together. it would be fun
🪻- you are so so cool and awesome oh my god
🌻- im proud of you
🍄- you didn't deserve what happened to you
🌵- you could stab me and i wouldnt mind as long as its you
💧- you are an important presence in my life
🍬- id go to a candy store with you and steal all the candy
🕹️- i wanna go to an arcade with you
🕰️- ill love you until the end of time, dear friend
🥊- id beat someone up with you
🌑- you worry me sometimes. just remember im here if you ever wanna talk about anything <2
♟️- you, me, board games.
🍁- im so glad you're my friend
🐚- our souls are linked in ways i cant put to words
Ok I am slightly sorry for spamming your ask box, but it seems like you want asks so I hope this isn’t too annoying to you.
For the character bingo, could I ask for Sokka?
oh I don’t care about ask spams, I love getting them. Here’s sokka:
Yes he is very much my blorbo
he’s tied with aang for my fav character in the series with toph a close second

Hey :)
Thanks for the ask!
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
I haven't taken alot of courses but an Arabic course I took in sophomore year is definitely my favorite course. Like, it's helping me so much in my Arabic right now so yeah xD
📁+📖
Hey lovely Anon! Thanks for the ask :D
📁 what is a project/assignment you’re really proud of?
Okay, so recently I had a computer project and we had to either make a video, animation or meme or whatever etc. And our team produced one video, one animation and 5 memes which was like alot of work in a span of 1-2 weeks. So, yeah, the teacher was really impressed and i was extremely happy with the results we got xD
Other one would also be a computer project, it was in junior year for the school exhibition. My friend and I did photoshop (like changing backgrounds, combining images etc) and yeah, that was cool xD
📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?
To be honest, I don't know what to say cause I'm still a senior in high school xD and i have no idea about what field I'll choose so... I don't know :")
✉️ your academic “motto”?
Hey dear Anon! Thanks for the ask. :D
✉️ your academic “motto”?
I don't really have one, honestly. I generally like to watch study motivations on YouTube and Pinterest and different mottos work for me depending on my mood and i don't really repeat the same motto everytime 😅
Though, currently I've been repeating this phrase "I know more than I think I do" It really helps with my anxiety so yeah.
Hi! If you get this, answer with three random things about yourself and send this to the last seven blogs in your notifications – Anonymously or not! Let’s get to know the person behind the blog! :)
ooooh i like this, thank you!!
I have really good but on the same time absolutely terrible memory. I remember birthdays and addresses and random details of people i haven't met in years, and just random numbers cuz why not, but i have no idea what my mom asked me to do 15 seconds ago or what subjects i need to review before an upcoming test. Super odd but i like it
My birthday is coming soon! June 19th!! I'm really excited
My goal is to win the Nobel prize in chemistry or medicine, i don't know for what yet but i believe i can make it work!
Tell me stuff about you!!!
BLOOD FOR THE WORLDBUILDING ASK GAME. hi ben <3
CASSIAN YOU FUCKING LEGEND I love you for this <3
WORLDBUILDING ASK GAME:
WITH PICTURES!
WARNINGS! ⚠️: Cartoon blood, cartoon gore, body horror, diseases/medical horror, child abuse mentioned, sex mentioned.
.
1. BLOOD - Does everyone bleed the same colour? If not, why not?
The world is run by 3 Major Races! Two are organic, one is mechanic.
In order of hierarchy: Crystalline, Human, and Robot.
2. PEPPER - What is the deadliest poison?
I was wondering what to put for this one before realising there is essentially a 'poison' a strong enough crystalline may give someone manually.
Medusa Rot, or Crystalline Petrification.
It's given by an aggravated spike- this can be purposeful to attack someone or even accidental if the attacker is panicked/agitated enough, and can't control their powers.
Considering how nobles and strong crystallines gave dwindled over the years, and such harsh powers haven't been needed- it's incredibly under-researcved, like an extinct dissease.
So it's likely the victim or the attacker know.
A timeline of it's affects: Body horror/Medical horror warning?
It affects organic species. However if given to a robot, it's likely it will just fight it's way through it and clog up their systems with crystal growth, giving a relatively similar affect that's got a slightly higher survival chance.
3. CANDY - How do they treat children?
This very much depends on the household!
Though in most houses, Children are raised religious relative to area. Most commonly, Lunnox (In-universe religion of worship of the moon, enforced by the Cobalt Empire which rules the majority of the world and is the largest power.)
If a child is born to a Human and Crystalline, it's likely to be abandoned or orphaned, due to how taboo half-breeds are. The child will appear entirely human, other than perhaps some odd colouring. (Coloured hair, eyes, birthmarks.)
If a halfbred child is kept, the crystalline is almost definite to lose any higher status, and the human is likely to he rejected by peers also. Most halfbreds will just say they're human for slightly better treatment.
Robot children are rare-
Robots are essentially dead souls made posses a robot host body, most likely with their memories gone to function as some sort of labour or built for a purpose.
So if a child is a robot, it's more likely they come from a wealthy family, and after dying or getting sick too soon, was rebuilt as a robot- and kept their memories. This can be controversial. Some consider it mutilation or depriving a child of their original race, some consider it fair to let a child live on.
Noble crystalline children?
Uhhhhhh. yeah.
MOVING ON, FINALLY:
4. BLUSH - What is their view on sex?
Sex, due to the empire being very conservative religious in it's ways, is a taboo thing to discuss.
It's not entirely medieval though, in an 'everyone be celibate' way. Its moreso taboo to discuss in places such as work or in front of elders and superiors- most adults and teens in the modern day will brag about it, or crack sex jokes and stuff like that, similar to your average modern day society. It's still a rather gossipy subject though.
example: If a frat house was personified Vs Bible thumper
YAY IM DONE
Reblogs appreciated!!!
I spent a ridiculous amount of time on this for something that isn't fandom content 💀
So uhhh. Reblog to kill Onyx's dad with hammers idk
Ask post here if anyone wanna ask other things and my askbox is just open in general :)
if u get this, answer w/ three random facts about urself and send it to the last seven blogs in ur notifs. anon or not, doesn't matter, let's get to know the person behind the blog
no obligation obviously!! 😺
hmmm, three random facts about myself...
I've made several paintings for people as gifts in the past, its something I enjoy even though I don't think I'm very good at it.
I used to go jumping off a bridge into a waterway in my town, but its like a major waterway and riptides have killed people there in the past, so yikes.
I'm listed as a published author on a research study in a major scientific journal.
Really, I think I'm quite boring, it even says so in my blog description
Twenty Questions for Fanfic Writers
Thank you @liviapeleia for the asks <3!!
Tagging longtime frond @breadkween, fabulous runner of @merlinmicrofic @queerofthedagger (thank you!) and reader and writer who's left me lovely comments @achillesuwu. @mythandmagic, Ao3 is down rn so I can't check but if you have any fics yourself, here's an ask game for you! There's no obligation, presh or time limit of course! Also like @liviapeleia said before me, consider yourself tagged if you see this!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
11
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
265,960
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now just Merlin. I've written for other fandoms in the past but each of those works have been standalone.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Always His Destiny | Merlin | A true love's kiss, resurrection and golden age AU written for Glompfest 2024.
Like Every Tree Stands On Its Own | Merlin | A longfic inspired by other Arthurian media/sources featuring Wildman Prophet!Merlin and a magical forest. This is my magnum opus.
What's Mightier Than a Sword and Robs a Prince of His Servant? | Merlin | Pre-slash Merthur minor canon-divergence in which Merlin's talents in speech writing land him a promotion and Arthur is Not Pleased™.
Only Human | Venom | A short gift/exchange fic about masturbation, lol. The fic I received in exchange was also about masturbation. In my defence this was a writing exercise (I promise).
The Sky Is Falling | Nightvale | Unfinished fic about alcoholism recovery, love, community and the complete collapse of reality.
...Okay wow what a mix :D
5. Do you respond to comments?
I really love comments and I love getting into discussions with readers! It really makes my day to see that someone has commented on one of my fics.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Am I allowed to choose a soon to be published WIP? Words Are Dead, a microfic inspired by the Agnes Obel song of the same name in which Merlin and Arthur are unable to communicate when Arthur returns. Merlin has lost Brythonic, his first language, and his capacity to relearn it. He's simply been alive for far too long and his mind has suffered :(
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Like Every Tree has a prolonged bittersweet kind of ending but I think Always His Destiny wins.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nope/not yet!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, though so far it hasn't been the focus of any of my works, there's no reason why that can't change though (the Venom one doesn't count, I make the rules here). As to what kind I'd say loving and intimate, I guess? Sometimes with a bit of a hurt/comfort element to it. Again, no reason why I can't branch out in the future ;)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
While not labelled as a crossover, Like Every Tree was heavily inspired by Arthurian media both new and old, and one medieval Irish source. I did so much research for this fic and I'm still down those various rabbit holes. It was a homage to my favourite, janky cartoon movie from my childhood Quest for Camelot. Otherwise I don't write proper crossovers.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Don't think so.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Also don't think so.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No but I would love to!
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
I guess it really has to be Merthur! I don't recall a ship ever having such a hold on me. Those two are doomed but made for each other. The way they interact is so much fun to read/write.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Damn, this is definitely Be Here When the Weather Turns, a Mushi-shi fic. It has a very soft, restful and liminal vibe and I adore it. I really do wish I can finish it someday. So sometimes like a song, you share a piece of media with someone, or you associate it with a particular chapter in your life, and that song/piece of media brings up feelings. I'd like to think it's still worth a read. If you don't know Mushi-shi, please consider checking it out, it was weird and quiet and beautiful.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I can't deny that I put a lot of love into this hobby. Also @breadkween has told me that they really like my dialogue :3
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm really prone to typos. I can re-read something a hundred times and just fail to see them. I'm a very slow writer; what I put out usually goes through months of edits and change-ups. Lastly I have embraced a faux-pas or two for fun, such as starting sentences with 'and.' And no one can stop me >:)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'd only be comfortable writing dialogue in a language I've formerly learned and have some level of familiarity with for fear of getting something wrong.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Okay I love this question because the answer is the highly formative Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series, a YA series I was obsessed with, and have continued to read, and re-read as an adult and as unexpected prequels and sequels popped up in more recent years. I wrote it on a literal floppy disk :D First fandom I wrote for that I actually published online was Undertale.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Definitely Like Every Tree. I'm just really proud of it :3
