I’ll be honest, I have immediate distrust of anyone that writes Hobbit fic that still has Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli killed off.

Unless that fic immediately follows it by revealing that Middle Earth is actually full of dwarven ghosts that return for the Drama™ by staring at Mahal’s magical Gimli pool for hours on end, and you suddenly find yourself cheering every time another dwarf dies, because you just *know* that reunion in the Halls of Waiting is gonna be amazing. Sure, you’re still crying, but it’s like crying in a long line for an amusement park ride: the wait is a painful test of endurance and you’re scared about what’s to come, but then you ride the ride, get off after a shockingly fun time, and remember that you’re still at that damn amusement park for the rest of the day. Also, you’re now a depression-recovering bisexual dwarven ghost king that has the power to yell WHAT THE FUCK at living people and sometimes they actually listen.

Sansûkh. I’m talking about Sansûkh.

MATE…!!

( bilbo’s would say ‘i’m a secretive paranoid sassbucket w trust issues, but hey, i used to be MUCH worse’ )

THANK YOU! You know, Dets, we’ve been friends for awhile now (which is awesome, because you’re awesome, it is altogether awesome that I can call you a friend and we can shoot the breeze and joke and send each other stupid gifs and all that), but damnit, I still get happy illogical brain fireworks every time you say something nice to me. It’s kinda like the Nat King Cole song, right? It’s incredible that someone so unforgettable thinks that I am unforgettable, too.

*loud meeps*

AWKWARD BEAN POWERS ACTIVATE! FULL POWER!!! CHAAAAAARGE.

*hugs* It means a lot to hear stuff like this from you. Thanks for remembering my birthday, dude.

babe, I am thoroughly convinced of your awesome, I’ve studied it for years and it is POWERFULLY awesome, believe you me. and we can combine our mighty mighty awkwardness to FIGHT EVIL, you be Awkward Bean and I shall be Klutzgirl!

may only good things come your way this year, mate. *hugs real tight* Happer birf. Happer birf. All the happer birf to you. 

Welcome to the Logan pain train, Dets. We turn crosses into Xs here.

oh god pop I am still scouring AO3 i am still so screwed up by this movie, I need all the fixit fic, I need INTERPERSONAL BONDING AND GROWTH AND ANGSTY, GROWLY ROADTRIPS 

I need Logan teaching Laura how to live out in the Canadian wilderness with all the enhanced senses and deep-in-the-blood stuff and ohgod Weapon X coming up in conversation and she gets it, how can she not

and i need Charles to read her ‘the Once and Future King’ and accidentally saying ‘groovy’ now and then instead of ‘fuck’ BECAUSE HE IS NOT DEAD EITHER DAMMIT

and Logan learning Spanish from Sesame Street and he is FINE AND DECIDEDLY NOT DYING, he teaches Laura to hunt and can’t explain to her why he calls everybody ‘bub’ 

(bc i firmly believe that he punched his way out of the ground like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill like, two weeks later)

sad knife dad and his tiny murderchild and their dotty brainweapon grandpa 

i need it

13. Favorite fic from another author? 14. Your favorite side pairings to put in? 20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of (or as many sentences as you want)

poplitealqueen:

13. Sansûkh by Determamfidd. Tbh I’ll probably be reccing that glorious fic long after its done. I’ll have kids years from now who will say, “Mommy, read us a bedtime story” and I’ll whip out Sansûkh and be like, “Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain, came awake with a sudden start and a strangled shout of alarm. It was utterly dark, and his shout echoed in the stifling blackness. He tried to blink his eyes, and found it made little difference.” and they’ll be like, “Not again!!” but that won’t stop me.

I like Sansûkh so much 1) because it is an amazing fic of epic proportions, well researched, well executed, the whole shebang, and 2) because the author is so damn nice. My god, Dets is a sweetheart. She’s the kind of person you gravitate towards just because she’s friendly and encouraging. She’s Person Goals, man. I think the ultra popularity of her fic stems not only from her talent, but from her personality as well. She’s approachable. You want to make her proud. Blah blah blah I’m going overboard now.

So I’m an unapologetic Sansûkh enthusiast for the rest of my days. Determamfidd enthusiast tbh because I trust any fandom in her hands. There’s my fave.

14. Somehow I ended up a diehard Rexobi shipper and I like to inject it into just about everything I write. I’m also pretty in love with Jessix, and Oooh Ahsoka and Barriss. What else… I’m still getting comfortable shipping OCs with canon characters, but in my secret lil draft cave I love doing that.

20. It isn’t posted yet, but Hämärä has some damn fantastic moments that I’m proud of. (Now I just need to work up the urge to post it without worrying my hands off that it isn’t as good as the glimmering gem of a fic I have in my head. Probably when Pulsion is finally done.)

***

The knowledge that it had all been a lie makes Rex tired rather than angry: the waste of so many lives, so many people, brothers and Umbarans alike, is too huge to really fit into his head.

Rex pulls his helmet off and sets it next to his outstretched leg. Warm, recycled air dances along his skin as he leans back against the cold bulkhead and allows the hum of the engines to vibrate through the back of his skull. Before he realizes it, his eyes are closed, and exhaustion tugs at him to sleep.

But he can’t.

It isn’t long before his eyes are open again, staring at nothing across the crew bay. That’s when Kenobi moves up beside him, so quietly that  Rex doesn’t even register his presence until the hem of the Jedi’s tunic brushes against his ear.

Rex hides his twitch of surprise. It’s a wonder how someone with so much strength can be so damned quiet sometimes.

“Sir,” he greets softly.

Silent, Kenobi remains standing near him, not quite touching, but closer than Rex had ever seen him get to someone that didn’t need rescuing on the battlefield. It’s some time before Kenobi speaks, his crisp, accented voice weighed down with weariness.

“Not even Geonosis was that bad of a muck up.”

ATTEMPTING NOT TO CRY

ATTEMPT HAS FAILED

*clings* god, you are beautiful, I honestly. honestly. I can’t possibly be more grateful than this. I may have to expel some vital organ to make room for this massive bubbling tidal wave of utter gratitude. what did I ever do to deserve a beautiful friend like you omg

and that SNEAK PEEK, dearest effing lord, I am sinking into that POV and I’m not even familiar with the character!! AHHH IT IS SO PERFECTLY FORMAL AND BRISKLY MILITARY WITH ITS PRECISION AND ATTENTION TO FINE DETAIL AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION?? and yet SO PERSONAL AND RICH AND INDIVIDUAL??? hot dang I am into this so haaaarrrd

A large part of me wants to ask EVERY SINGLE ONE PLEASE but I’ll sticks with DETS. (Though if you wanna do them all, do it. Please)

ILU POP THANK YOU ❤

Um, I’ve answered D, T and S, so here’s E! (I CAN’T FACE ANSWERING THEM ALL IN ONE GO – snippets is good!)

E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?

If I wrote a sequel to Sansukh, it would be about the modern fanfiction Sisyphus, forever working upon a story that never seemed to end. 

lmao, joking aside tho, I will be pottering in the Sansukh Appendices for some time, I think, but it will not have a sequel. The story is nearly finished, and when it is done, it’s done. 

If I was to write a sequel to ‘Irreconcilable Differences’, though. Hmm. That has some appeal!

Possibly I’d write something about the Infinity Gauntlet stuff, when it comes out? I always enjoyed that TBP (it’s on my shelf right now, about three metres away). I liked the conversation between Hulk and Wolverine. ‘In our way, we’re both monsters, pal.’ Classic stuff.

I would also like to add more about Steve and the Buckster.

Possibly Stucky too.

My characterisation in IR of Steve is very influenced by the first Avengers film, and there’s been a whole crapton of meta and two more Cap films since then. I feel like I know him better these days!

I’d also add more friendship between Steve and Bruce, bc heck these boys have a lot in common. 

Still Science Boyfriends, absolutely – I liked Bru/tasha and read fics about them before AoU came out. Then it came out, and URGH no – I completely disliked the ship afterwards. Which I thinks says that fic writers are better at writing both characters than Joss Whedon, frankly. 

And developing the nascent relationship I left Natasha and Clint in at the end of IR could be fun. 

Fic ask: 6, 33, 35.

poplitealqueen:

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?

Sansûkh by determamfidd (I’d link but ehhh mobile). It’s one of those fics that just sticks with you, and inspires you to be awesome with its own awesome.

Plus, lady dwarves. Lots and lots of badass lady dwarves.

And SONGS. This is the only fic I’ve ever seen where the writer writes songs along with the fic (and my does she write good songs. I swear I’ll get a tattoo of The Iron Hills For Me one day.)

33. Least favorite AU tropes?

‘This one character is the villain out of convenience for the OTP even though they aren’t the villain in canon’.

35. Do you like high school and college AUs?

I’ve never liked high school aus, but since entering college I’ve really garnered a love for college aus.

I’d write one, but it’d probably just be the characters napping 24/7. Realest college au.

i love you, pop – thank you, beautifullest one. You are a gem, I stg, I am so lucky.

(*eyes that Q33 answer* OMG SAAAAAAAAME. *insert-dain-related-angst*)

Evening, everyone!

Recently, my wacom tablet became unusable, and since I’ve considered upgrading for a while, I decided it isn’t worth it to pay close to a hundred bucks to get it working again. Times change!

I have my eyes set on a new, much nicer tablet, but unfortunately I don’t have the funds available to get it (I need to save up the money I have now, when I’m not paying for school or bills, and I don’t start my second job until May).

That’s where you all come in!

I may not have access to digital art stuff at the mo (unless I want to screw up my wrist using a mouse), but I definitely have traditional supplies that are just itching to be used. Therefore, I’ll be opening up commissions for that to save up money to buy this new tablet!

As it stands, I need about 80 dollars in all to purchase this (and that’s shipping included). So I have 8 commission slots open! Commissions will start at 10 dollars and we can negotiate them going higher. (Generally, more characters will cost more. Same with backgrounds and the like)

Fandoms I can work with:

-Star Wars

-Star Trek

-Tolkien

– Dragon Age

-And many more! Just ask!

I can draw your ocs as long as you provide at least 3 source images.

Mediums I can work with:

-paint (watercolor and acrylic)

-colored pencils

-charcoal

-ink (color and black)

And just in case there are some mighty generous souls out there…

I also have a paypal account that you can donate to!

Thank you so much for helping me to continue drawing, folks.
