2021 was a freaking year lol uh

this isn't "ten fics" i liked this it's just a handful of fics i posted this year that i wanna mention, even tho its like, basically most of them, idk,

one mistake is all that it can take - YWKON, the first fic i posted this year, the one where jademythra find out that anna and malos AREN'T dead, actually. for all that it's not really a fic i'd shove in your face like READ READ READ IM SO PROUD (seeing as it like, is only of any significance if you're a longstanding ywkon fan,) it does have my favorite bit of jademythra prose in it which is just hte "Logically, logically the both of them should take a step back from this, think a little before they do anything, but. What a shame. He’s already let Mythra out of his sight." I JUST LOVE THAT FOR THEM


Super Mario and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Week - aka "oops! all ot3!" or "the tok fic", aka a brief retelling of paper mario: the origami king's events but set post everything changes, which is a fic i wrote backi n 2018 after super mario odyssey where mario/peach/bowser get married lol. so!! since the premise of tok is ALREADY, "mario and bowser team up in the back half of the game to save peach" i wanted to write a fic about what that looks like........ which accidentally turned into "hey mario has ptsd you assholes can we address that?" so i addressed that. idk. it's a fun fic exploring mario/bowser marriage and also mario coping with the specific trauma he has about fighting his loved ones because they were possessed. i think its very good and if you choose one and only one fic to read by me this year make it this one thanks.


Bowser's Fury but Junior asks Peach for help instead of Mario - a spiritual followup to the above fic written shortly after i processed that bowser's fury is a game about bowser  getting.......... possessed and mario has to fight him. lmao. so here's a short fic dodging that situation because, well, what the title says


you can't choose what stays and what fades away - (xiv) the fic's premise isn't entirely obvious, but it's hey what if instead of just kind of poofing after arriving on the first, minfilia is totally fine and herself and MAYBE no longer has hydaelyn hitching a ride in the back of her brain anymore. and also she can hear ardbert. and so she and ardbert are friends and she and g'raha are about to become friends. its a setup of what her role will be during shb in a larger au i want to write (whether or not i will is another story) but i just think its neat.......... am sad i didn't to spend long dealing w/ minfilia's new immortality coming with a couple of downsides but oh well. future things to explore. anyway minfilia i like her she's easily my favorite xiv character lmao


just another sinner - (xiv) the longer au in question, but mostly told thru scattered vignettes of character interaction instead of a longfic format. i'll be rethinking this format (not to make it not vignettes, but because posting chronologically is really hurting me) ........ i love anna i love almond there's a lot of gems in here. chapters 8 (grief is a bowling ball and i am the pins) and 18 (OP GAVE ME FIVE SECONDS AND I CAME UP BLANK) are my favorites so far i think.... the lyse+anna grief convo just good and i love yshtola facilitating almond's lesbian awakening so much


he can eat ice cream now!!! - a sonic 06 fic i threatened to write a long time ago and then forgot about. it's not a lot, but it is my favorite takeaway from 06 i think. silver can eat ice cream now :)


in which two teenagers bully a goddess - (dywc) a slice of life thing about two of my ftpcast kids bullying meyneth about her ex. it's not a lot, but "misc character interactions with no real stake on them" is becoming my favorite type of fic to write. characters just hanging out is fun my guys....


that was something - on that vein, here's a mario fic where the mario cast winds down after coping with the world-saving nonsense that super smash bros brawl put htem thru in the story mode. MISC LOW STAKES NONSENSE CHARACTER INTERACTIONS WHERE THEY JUST VIBE AND HANG OUT IS SIMPLY SOOOOOO i love them


spring comes in green, and green, and green - (ywkon) while all of decay will feed the bloom was written this year, and there are several other good oneshots in it or good moments etc, the midori fic is still and always going to my favorite of hte lot i think. sometimes you run into your asshole driver's daughter at college and then you just have to freaking deal with that. its fun i adore this fic a lot. its got a ton of little moments that i adore. slice of life bullshit and character introspection nonsense is, in fact, my jam.


the sun, tucked away in your chest - (ywkon) in which jademythra meet with xc2 mythra but like while she's still in the middle of torna and thus a 1 year old (figuratively). featuring bodyswap because that's fun. has a lot of character interaction introspection nonsense that's just a lot of everyone looking at xc2 mythra and gently going the fuck is wrong with your friends you have an anxiety complex..... im very fond of it frankly and would like to finish it after having dropped it halfway thru due to [makes vague noises about real life developments] because i do have very fond feelings about this fic


Kairi and Martel training hour - (dywc) what was that i was saying about misc character interactions just for funsies beign one of my favorite things to write etc. also this has fun new kairi<>kano agenda. i love them.


devoid - (dywc) a fic i had literally been sitting on for three years and was glad to finally get around to writing. an important step in the dywc journey as it were. had a lot of fun playing with it and imagery in it also so :) its good. AND ALSO THE LAST FIC I NEED TO WRITE WITH TOS KRATOS IN IT I THINK LMAO. VERY LEAST IT'LL BE THE LAST FROM HIS POV THANK GOD. a series like dywc is hard when you hyperfixation swap halfway thru it


i'm not | (for you) - (dywc) another fic i'd literally been sitting on for three years and glad i got around to actually getting out. mythra v zanza for your troubles? its fun :) dont worry :)


in which
Jade and Colette have a converastion, contextless - (ywkon) lyre told me to write a fic that was exactly 394 words so that ywkon could be 666,666 worlds as a whole for a joke so i did and this is what came out. remember what i was saying about just little scenes of character interaction being my jam? :) yeah..... i like them................... and i like this scene a lot, for something that was written to fulfill a shitpost i don't think you'd ever tell.


smoldering softly, biding time - (xiv) the baby dragon in endwalker gave me brainworms. it's basically all i've thought about since finishing endwalker. ANNA AND ALMOND DESERVE TO ADOPT A DRAGON AND BECOME PARENTS and this fic also has such a cute scene between the two of them about agreeing to do this.... the domecisity ..... i love them


rip to not rewriting my zelda fic in 2021, here's to writing literally anything in 2022 frankly

it was fun tho everyone i had a good time :) love yall

2020 things

just wanted a nice list of overall 2020 things i guess. idk how much poetic i'm gonna wax but! here we are!!!!!!!

media things

> the snapcube sonic riders fandub!!!! it was FUCKING HILARIOUS, i think about its bits a lot?? THE HATSUNE MIKU BIT IS SO GOOD but it was so hilarious all around and i adore it. (tails voice) ok boomer. wave's russian accent in act 2. TOP TEN ANIME DEATHS etc etc. ALSO THE THEME SONG FOR THSI GAME IS A LEGITIMATE JAM AND I DIDN'T REALIZE........

> nael dragged me through shadowbringers which god. EXTREMELY good story!!!!! easily among the best i experienced in 2020. i forget what level of MSQ the dungeon corresponds to but the 5.0 finale dungeon. amaurot changed me as a person. crystarium theme easily ranks among "video game themes i consider home". i haven't even PLAYED shb i just watched nael stream it but god!!!! god!!!!!!! how do i cope with a game this good

> HLVRAI EXISTS!!!!!! it was so funny and so good and i adored it. my lil sister loved it (please know she is like 15 she's not little it's just, easier,) and it was fun sharing with her and!!! AND!!!!!! me and ruri watched the commentary together a lot and it was good! i enjoyed it!!! not gonna lie, "friends get together and do stupid shit, and we're just here to watch but they did not make it for us" is my favorite fucking genre of content. and this year i was blessed with snapcube sonic riders, hlvrai, and!

> rvb!!! which ruri dragged me through. i've only watched seasons 1-10 and i don't know if i'm going to watch more than those seasons (we'll see!) but god freelancer arc was SO good and i LOVE tex and even if the humor of blood gulch is a little dated, once again, "friends doing stupid shit with each other and sharing it with the internet but it wasn't made for the internet" is. my favorite genre. OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO SAY THAT AGENT TEXAS CAME FOR MY FUCKING BLOOD, BUT! GOD!!!!! AGENT FUCKING TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HIT ALL MY STANDARDS!!!!!!!!!

> it's small but me and ruri watched metropolis 2001 AND GOD. WHAT A MOVIE. THAT CLIMAX HAUNTS ME.

> also i've only gotten like halfway through ico but i'm having a fun time.

> this baba is you speedrun is frankly incredible

> HARROW THE NINTH!!!!!!!!!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO I STOP THINKING ABOUT THE TWISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE POWER MOVE OF ACT 5!!!!!!!!! THE AU SOUP!!!!!!!! THE REAL ACTUAL SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god what an incredible book i will WASTE AWAY until alecto is released

> OH THE FUCKING. I ALMOST FORGOT. TALES OF THE RAYS EVENTS!!!!!!!! TWO OF WHICH I HAPHAZARDLY TRANSLATED AND ONE I ACTUALLY TRANSLATED ALL OF. GOD!!!!!!!!! i guess i'm slowly plugging through tales of the rays too but i still cannot believe it catered to me specifically with 1) kharlan heroes focused event with martel getting POSSESSED BY THE VENGEFUL SPIRITS OF DEAD CHOSENS 2) the abyss nebilim quest but ion is there, asch is there, there's another ion replica, and the canonical party comp is jade+dist+anise+ion 3) THE WEDDING EVENT WHERE YUAN AND MARTEL GOT MARRIED AND MITHOS WAS JUST! AUGH! ugh! augh!!!!!! (you can read my translations here)

> fe9 and fe10!!! tellius!!!!!!! IKESOREN IS REAL, MIST IS GOD, I'M STILL SO SAD ABOUT SEPHIRAN AND ZELGIUS?

> OH THE FFXIV 1.0 FINALE ALSO WREKCED MY FUCKING ASS. THAT'S A THING. CAN YOU BELEIVE YOSHI-P WAS JUST LIKE YEAH LET'S. DESTROY THE GAME. CRASH BAHAMUT INTO THE PLANET. answers made me cry.


shoutout to music artists i discovered this year even if they aren't new

> ruri introduced me to AFI and while i only care about the album burials, i definitely had ONLY BURIALS on repeat for SEVERAL MONTHS. i was going through something. might have been jade curtiss feelings. deep slow panic is best song also

> discovered autoheart.... i have listened to factories on repeat more than is probably healthy? but also it's a jam

> ricky montgomery exists too. listened to the self titled album on repeat. all of them are jams but this december is my fave

> realized ffxiv music was good.

> OH AND!! DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA!!! PANDORA'S PINATA!!! WHAT A GOOD ALBUM!!!!



life things

> managed to write like 254k that i posted on ao3 + like 15k unposted i think. what the fuck. hey what the fuck. i mean this is pretty consistent i got like ~200 last year too but hello?????

> oh i graduated college which was nice!! yay me.

> translated a lot of stuff!!!! i linked to the rays stuff above and im' still An Amateur but i'm definitely practicing and i've been getting thru the reverse/rebirth novel and it was fun

> wrote like 270k? this year? okay

> SOUP!!!!!!! SOUP!!!!!!!!!!

> i guess i should elaborate on soup but god.................. very good year with jade&mythra thoughts go brrrrrrrrrrrrr which is definitey NOT where i was expecting this year to go but IT'S SO FUN.......... I CHERISH EVERY MOMENT I SPENT STIRRING THE SOUP. sometimes the point of fanfic is to be wildly self indulgent with weird crossover ships

> also wrote more dywc which i'm VERY happy about.

> i thought i'd get more poetic about soup but nah

> oh i guess i should mention bad soup rp, shitty siblings, i love nael's asch, aaaaaaaaaaaaaand i've made a lot of new friends this year as well as gotten closer to old ones! nice
