the world's preeminent linclaude scholar

"is this a pigeon" meme format with the butterfly labeled "hanahaki trope" and the question being "is this a lens for examining disability/chronic illness?"

what can i say. i'm just on another level

it's kinda funny bc this time I'm not inventing a new relationship tag (I have done this at least 9 times) which always feels like it means no one will engage. and I have done hyper specific au stuff (hello hades/botw crossover). but this time it was too far, too indie of a game to fuse with

i am forever out niche-ing myself. i am constantly saying "this might be the most niche fic yet." and oh boy is there a range on engagement with my niche works

me: this is a dimilix fic so it's got good odds of getting engagement bc it's a more popular ship than linclaude

me, realizing that it's a super niche au and therefore it's not going to get many kudos or comments: ah,

Next part of the dimilix slay the princess au is up!
This one was particularly neat to write. It deviates the most from the STP version in terms of scene setting, and I had a wonderful time with the voices.

none of the ai slop commercials these companies churn out will have even one-tenth of the cultural impact as the folgers incest commercial and i think that's beautiful

first section of dimilix slay the princess au is up! i'm so excited to share it with y'all!!
archiveofourown.org/works/754618...

all going well I'm gonna finish the dimilix slay the princess au today which is very exciting

I've been going kinda nuts with it! Over 25k words in 5 days! I am! Very excited to share it!!!

okay this slay the princess au is actually rly fun to write which is a good thing bc it's gonna be smth like 22 chapters. four of them are done! i have completed the razor!

people don't understand the intricacies of the writing process. for example, i just installed python so i could decompile a game for the sake of a fic. and lemme tell you, this script is not easy to parse. this is what it means to suffer for your art

ooohhhhh this is not going to be a quick fic. i so rarely do multi-chapter stuff, but i'm clinging on so tight. even though the formatting is annoying to try and figure out. it's fine. my visions are pristine.

i'm SAYING that it's not even a little bit of a stretch to see dimitri in both the soft and the sharp captive. deconstructed damsel dimitri aka academy phase dimitri. i'm having VISIONS

thank god someone sees my vision. consider dimitri as the razor. the adversary. the prisoner. the witch, the thorn...the spectre and then princess & dragon...this might be my list of vessels for the au <3 it could be that

i think felix's version of The Hero should probably be a bit more pragmatic and less. hm. wishy washy? but otherwise i think the voices can stay p much the same, bc even the ones that rly don't feel felix-y (smitten, opportunist) stand out as Weird to the others already

i was going back and forth but i think felix is the slayer and dimitri is the princess. dimitri could be either, but felix doesn't feel right as the princess (and more importantly dimitri fits the shifting mound waaayyy better than felix does)

hold on. hold up. dimilix slay the princess au. can anyone hear me. please listen to me i'm having visions, listen to me please [struggles against the bars of my cage] DIMILIX. SLAY THE PRINCESS. AU. CAN YOU HEAR ME.

nobody does hanahaki like me! i have visions!!!!
anyway i'm 1600 words into a dimilix fic,

for example, what if i did a hanahaki fic and despite the characters getting it a combined 5(ish) times, at best only 1 of them would be related to romance

all i do is have visions

wrote about a DIFFERENT green haired guy this time so nobody can say i don't have range

PROOF that lysithea is Very Distinct from the black eagles: she and her parents love each other very much

people from leicester are just normal and regular. "oh but what about lysithea and the Horrors she's endured"
i hear you. consider this though: she's dealing with the Horrors by getting good grades and not caring AT ALL about politics

this also continues into the ashen wolves

hapi: I was kidnapped and experimented on

yuri: I supplemented childhood poverty by becoming an assassin

constance: I've tied my entire identity and life purpose into restoring my House

balthus: I have a lot of gambling debt

to be clear, I would not have a SINGLE problem with this if vw was like, a real route that cared about its characters. I'm thrilled that the golden deer are so normal and regular and how that makes them Freaks, compared to the other two houses

black eagles: the most strictly organized dreadful little polycule

blue lions: the full scope of family reunion vibes

golden deer: your high school graduating class

if someone told claude "oh the divine beasts just disappeared" he would be like haha yeah good one! and then break into their house to read their private journals
