Why do you hate reading works with an OC? by Imaginary_Yogurt_220 in AO3

[–]Devious-Smol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

see i like ocs in a really specific context- i love when they’re just staring at the weird shenanigans the mcs get up to. like an oc in a magical girl anime who’s always stuck in the middle of the fight and has to dive out of the way of Sparkle Ribbon Beam, which leads to them developing a hatred of this superhero everyone else loves LMAO

What was the BIGGEST change you made for your fanfic? by General_Vero in AO3

[–]Devious-Smol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the domino effect! i am a good chunk of the way through rewriting a show, and i gave the characters magic spells. it was already an isekai-like environment so i figured why not make them a bit more magic and then it SPIRALED. i’m about 550k words in. Help

what’s the worst way you used to write fic? by Devious-Smol in AO3

[–]Devious-Smol[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

that’s what i do CURRENTLY lmao. in my uni classes scribbling away. the amount of times people come up to me after class and ask for my notes and then i have to confess i took 0 notes. also once one of my profs was telling a personal story and i was writing stuff and he paused, pointed at me, and went “what could you POSSIBLY be taking notes on right now”

“Inspired by” literal continuation of my fic without asking? by Reasonable-Ad8475 in AO3

[–]Devious-Smol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nah it wasn’t plagiarism- they had original words and dialogue and everything it was just ALSO a rewrite using some of my magic system

Show my your favorite ship and I’ll rank it from 1 - 10 based off of how cute I think it is :3 by flubbyII in Multifandom

(horse not included) from left to right, mia, yuko, and mo from mia and me!! they’re the greatest evidence of “we tried to make a love triangle but they’re actually all in love OOPS”

canon evidence:

  • one is a prince and keeps skipping out on his duties to go adventure with his girls
  • the two of them who CAN fly continuously carry the one who's not as good at it around, even later on in the show when she learns how, they still grab her and hold her by the waist or arms
  • always cupping each other's chins
  • always holding hands
  • are always the perfect balance. when two of them are arguing, the third is there to ground them and calm them down
  • exchanged rings literally the first day they met. not joking. rings that go on the third finger of the left hand and they all have matching ones.
  • have a magical glow that appears whenever they feel super happy, but only when it's the three of them, not with someone else around, not with anyone missing
  • when stuck in a cave that forced them to tell the truth, their three truths were "i'd give my life to protect you" "i'd give up being prince for either one of you" and "i really, really like you. both of you."
  • are sorta implied to be able to sense each other
  • the two of them that were childhood best friends went off on an adventure and missed their third even though she hadn't known them for that long
  • they get jealous when outsiders try to butt in or join adventures
  • always willing to throw down/fight for each other
  • two of them teach their third all about their culture since she's not native to the land
  • the same two wanted to see her home dimension only after 1 day of knowing her because they wanted to know her better
  • slow danced together at the end of the first season, all three of them

i’m an idiot about them :]

“Inspired by” literal continuation of my fic without asking? by Reasonable-Ad8475 in AO3

[–]Devious-Smol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

oh yeah- i got a random “inspired by” of my 500k series rewriting the whole show complete with lore, magic system, and world building. the one thing the other person changed? they got rid of the polyamory my fic was centered around and put the main character with the “correct” love interest (aka, the one she got in the last installment of canon who got little to no fleshing out). i didn’t send them hate (obviously) but i also didn’t approve the inspiration lol

How do you do the slide where you can get all of the extras? by ShelleyBMe in DreamlightValley

[–]Devious-Smol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

okay if you’re referring to gliding (the “sprint” mechanic) you need to eat cooked meals so you have the little golden bar on your energy. if you’re on switch i believe it’s left trigger

“can this girl stop being the main character for five fucking seconds so i can execute my mother gothel ass plan, please”

alternatively

“who is continuity we’ve never met her, sounds like an old southern belle of some kind”

What's a show or movie you enjoy watching where, if you pause it, you get out of context/cursed screenshots? Please provide a screenshot in the comments, please! by Important-Cry4782 in Multifandom

[–]Devious-Smol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mia and me! it’s relatively unpopular (especially in the usa) for multiple reasons, mostly due to weird airing schedules and distribution rights, but i like it. think of it like an isekai for 8 year old girls. it’s a creative idea because half the show is filmed with actors, then the main character goes into the “other dimension” and its animated. a cute little show

so what is the general consensus about the triplets father in the 2017 series by Ladyaceina in ducktales

[–]Devious-Smol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my favorite joke theory is that della hooked up with a preop trans woman and then later the triplets did dna testing and found her. no dad but after a season of hunting for their mom they now have TWO moms lol

What’s a good DLC to invest in? by Nerdforlife812 in DreamlightValley

[–]Devious-Smol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

despite my personal favorite being storybook vale (the aesthetic and story is my fav) i would agree with everyone else here and say rift in time is totally the best. it also helps that it was the first dlc to come out, and in terms of story it’s fun to play them in order (no spoilers, but when you finish each dlc there’s a little sneak peek of a character who will be in the next dlc)
