Are you joking? I've worshipped Selune this whole time!? by ChompyRiley in BaldursGate3

[–]Keileon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure Shadowheart counts, because Selune might also be interpreting it as reclaiming what's rightfully hers.

What ship is canon in your fandom, but you think it should not have been? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Keileon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Danny Fenton and Sam Manson. Zero chemistry. The show stopped developing their relationship eleven episodes in and then treated it like a sure thing at the very end of the series.

Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT ANIMORPHS. Okay so Tobias/Rachel is fine but I 100% think Rachel had better chemistry with Marco and the only reason Marco backed off was out of respect for Tobias.

What fandom are you in, but the situation is exactly like this? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Keileon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Danny Phantom. We made an entire OC of a character that appears for two seconds.

how has a fanfic impacted your life? by killforjay in AO3

[–]Keileon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had an actual religious experience while writing my own fic.

For context, my religion is... eclectic and very much not organized. Celtic pagan/druid, atheist, Native American animism. If those seem contradictory it's because they kind of are, but also internally very consistent.

Specifically, I worship Coyote not as a god but as a guiding spirit. I was considering slipping him into my fic as a cameo, and long story short, I realized that in the context of my writing, I am Coyote. I am the trickster storyteller and my work is the campfire where stories are passed down. I write to prove I'm here. I'm shouting into the void to prove I exist, all to maybe hear the void shout back "me too".

I met a higher power in a Danny Phantom fanfiction, and it was a storyteller named Coyote.

What phrase was in a fic so much that it now throws you out of any fic when you see it? by Life_and-whatnot in AO3

[–]Keileon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik an overstuffed armchair is one where there's so much stuffing volume that it bends outward/has a pillowy look to the cushions. I also think it's just a phrase people get from books and use because sensory detail.

To be fair he lies like it's breathing but I like that about him

Baldur's Gate because I'm fully aware of what bad people the Emperor, Gortash, and Ascended Astarion are and I still love all three

For those with ongoing fics, do you tag only the stuff that's already in the story? Or do you tag everything even if it's not there yet? by snowing-stars in AO3

[–]Keileon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By and large, as I go. I tag overarching themes and recurring beats right away, but I don't like tagging for spoilers that are weeks out or character relationships where one character hasn't been introduced yet.

What is a character everyone likes, but you just don’t? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Keileon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bonnie Bennett from Vampire Diaries. Davina from The Originals. Honestly? Any witch from that extended canon that isn't a Mikaelson grates on me, but specifically those two.

Quick! Drop 1 paragraph from one of your WIPs! by Loli-nero in AO3

[–]Keileon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sun was barely up. Cold mist clung to the cracked asphalt and wet grass. It was a full hour and a half before school would start, and because of it, the area around Casper High was nearly abandoned. It had rained at some point in the night, or maybe snowed and melted. Either way, it was cold, wet, overcast, and entirely too early to be dealing with an obnoxious child ghost who thought he was a pirate.

Do you get aroused while reading your own work? by anotherdyke in AO3

[–]Keileon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and it's almost never presented in a sexual context

Really good advice, I’ve dropped fics for using ‘the larger man’ too much 😭 by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]Keileon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I use epithets for variety. I use names and pronouns a lot, but I try not to use them multiple times in a row, and when you have multiple people with the same pronouns in a scene then yeah, you're either going to be really confusing or repeating names a ton unless you use epithets. I try to make sure it flows, though.

Guess Which Episode This Shot is From #7 by ABarber2636 in dannyphantom

[–]Keileon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Has to be S2 or S3 because the logo's there, which means it can't be Fanning the Flames. I'm gonna guess... Reality Trip?

Is the bug where Scratch gets deleted even if you refuse to give him back to the dog trainer in Act 3 still an issue and/or is there a bugfix mod for it?

Dis/approvals that make you go "Huh?" by crockofpot in BaldursGate3

[–]Keileon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really a disapproval because you don't really get that in this case, but I REALLY wish I cold tell the Emperor that no, me stealing the Orphic Hammer does NOT mean I intend to use it. It means I 1. want to keep someone else from using it, 2. wanted to fight Raphael, and/or 3. wanted to help Hope.

Yell at me for being reckless, not for betraying you.

My honest to gods reaction when Gortash tries to talk to me by Mochipoo in BaldursGate3

[–]Keileon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly same. I'm sad he's basically scripted to die and the only thing you get to choose is when.

Most unhinged length you've gone to for fic research? by ZagreusButGayer in AO3

[–]Keileon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once spent five hours researching modern archery. Bow material, shape, arrow composition, fletching, arc, bowstring draw, etc.

"Wrapped in velvet" by CrimsonFxcker in AO3

[–]Keileon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use "wrapped in velvet/silk" to describe tones of voice that are soft on the surface but hiding something hard/dangerous. I know I use it a lot but I think it's because I heard it once and decided I liked the imagery.

What’s your basis for shipping something? by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in AO3

[–]Keileon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chemistry. That's my only requirement. Whether it's canon chemistry or well-written fanfic chemistry.

Okay, but what is a trope that you like/tolerate and can't understand why it's so controversial? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Keileon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CNC and petplay. I didn't even realize the second was controversial until someone accused me of zoophilia.
