They’re not female-presenting nipples though!

Hmm we better worry more about Peter’s boobs then! Oh and also those pics of him with his dick out :S

shinyforce! :D

Ahhh @shinyforce is one of the gentlest and most kind-hearted people I’ve ever met! She is always friendly and sweet and thoughtful in ways I can only dream of being, haha, and she’s genuinely full of goodness and love. She’s been a good influence on me over the years I’ve known her, if you can believe that haha! And I am especially fond of her today cos she brought me chocolate *and* gave me money, lol. šŸ˜‰Ā Ā

5.Ā What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics?

Idk if this counts as a headcanon or just as a very slightly tweaked reality lol but I like Rob being the soppy, affectionate, romantic one who goes in for hair-ruffling and saying stuff like ā€œI’m the husbandā€ in public, while Felipe’s being more tsundere and trying to play it cool/professional until they’re alone. I like the idea of Felipe being unexpectedly more sensible, at least these days, and being the mum friend and looking after wild lad Rob, haha. Ā  Ā 

Already did 6!Ā 

12.Ā What’s the hardest thing to write for you?

EverythingĀ I think actually what I hate the most is transition scenes and moving between important bits. I think I’ve got better at just goingĀ ā€˜Right, moving on’, but it’s still hard to know how to smoothly get from A to B when the bit in between isn’t necessary but you need to have a bit of filler somehow, even if it’s just a sentence or two. I also hate writing big emotional stuff cos it’s so hard to a) gauge exactly how emotional the characters would be without making them seem unhinged, and b) writing it appropriately so it evokes the correct emotion, without either being flat, or OTT and just ending up laughable. And rn I’m finding it so difficult in the last few chapters of my roadtrip fic to remember everything I’ve already dealt with in order to avoid rehashing it or, worse, contradicting it! It’s a real brain-breaker, so even though the spirit is willing, it’s still slow going!

Thanks!

1, 2, 23!

1. Ā Talk about the first ship you ever had.

Oh man, I don’t even remember cos I’ve been a shipper literally forever. When I was a kid I shipped het pairs in all my fave TV shows and books, including non-canon pairs/pairs that weren’t the ones you were supposed to ship, though I can’t remember specifics now. Eg I’m sure I must’ve shipped Maid Marian with *someone*, but I cannot remember who, though I’m hoping it was Barrington rather than Robin, lol. I even shipped athletes – I remember shipping Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf when they both won Wimbledon, years before they got married, so fingers crossed for the rest of my OTPs eh

2.Ā Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.

Heero/Duo from Gundam Wing, for sure, cos they were the first pairing I wrote a large quantity of fic for, and I guess the first proper pairing community I was a part of. Plus there was a MOUNTAIN of fic for them, so I had a lot of happy times there.Ā 

Yasuba, because that was SO REAL and they’ve made awesome music together and it’s easy to believe something actually could’ve happened there before Subaru freaked out lol >.>Ā 

And ofc Rolipe, in part cos they’re my current OTP and have been for over 5 years now, but also cos, again, there’s a really great and tangible chemistry between them and the what-ifs and headcanons are rich and plentiful. Plus there’s some really top class fic for them, and all the Rolipe shippers I’ve met are also top class folks and I’m glad to knowĀ ā€˜em :3bĀ 

23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?

(I answered this question before I considered that actually it’s probably more about canon fictional ships and their creators lol, but safe in the knowledge that I’m not really a part of these fandoms I wrote a meaner answer about the fic in them lol >.>)

Because of who asked me this I am ofc put in mind of NEARLY ALL MY PRINCE OF TENNIS SHIP man I boarded every ghost ship going in that fandom and had to adopt some more populous ships almost out of desperation lol. Momo/Ryoma was a particularly bad example, I seem to recall – very rare you got anything decent for them, cos people in that fandom just didn’t like cheeriness ;(

Also Freddie/Brian in Queen fandom, which is 99% awf except that one amazing writer. I don’t like that skew!
