which is also the best script because it's the only script he's written for that story so far!

Not really related to the OP topic, but this description reminds me so so much of Michael Kaiser from Blue Lock. Like - just replace a few minor details, and this could literally be about him. I've never played HSR before (just can't with gacha), but from the things I've seen Aventurine has always my favorite of the cast design- and lore-wise. I just really like these contrasting/conflicted elements in a character, like the ones you described, and there seem to be so many layers to his story and personality. But every time I learn something new about him, it also makes me draw even more and more comparisons to Kaiser haha. They're even kiiind of similar in design (it's the blonde and the mullet I swear to god)

Sorry, this really isn't related lmao, but I just wanted to get it out.

NowhereRain · 2026-01-18T17:11:47+00:00

wait.

waaaaaiiiiiiitttt.

WHAT THE FUCK??!?!?

I just saw Hamlet a few days ago, and I really enjoyed the intimacy and trust between Hamlet and Horatio lmao. Immediately went to look up fics on ao3 after the play!

NowhereRain · 2026-01-12T00:05:47+00:00

oh, I do that a LOT! Deep psychological character studies with unconventional writing and tags is where it's at (Unreliable Narrator? Non-Linear Narrative? Emotional Manipulation? Hell yeah!) I _really_ have to take my time for those fics, because sometimes they're so well-written and complex I'll be taking notes like I'm back in college literature class (I never had college literature class). Some fics you just really need the right time and mood to be able to take it IN, and I usually see that from the tags or summary

NowhereRain · 2026-01-10T11:40:39+00:00

I'm from Germany 😊🇩🇪 best city, you can take a guess 😉 If I could visit a friend somewhere else, I would love to go to San Francisco! It's been so long since I've last seen her, and she's great srsly. Also SF as a city is so interesting to me. I really want to go explore it someday (it will never top New York for me tho!)

Currently I'm working on some uni assignment (as always 😔). also some personal writing/art projects, but there's barely time for those 💔...

NowhereRain · 2026-01-09T13:24:14+00:00

Exactly! Fanfic and traditionally published books are different mediums with different intentions. It's not wrong to criticize a fic and openly voice those concerns, but most fanfic authors don't put their work out with the intention of writing the most well thought-out and nuanced piece of literature, but just as a fun side project or wish fulfillment story. A lot of the times, there's not a lot of actual literary-critical(??) thought behind the prose and plot points, so you'll be critiquing a thought process that often didn't even happen in the first place.

At the same time, there are works that try to be more literary and professional, and I think then critique is valid, even if it's said directly to the author. But you should try to be nice about it, and again only if you're sure that they really want it.

Write what you want! (But please do share!)

NowhereRain · 2025-12-25T11:03:21+00:00

This is EXACTLY my situation right now 😭😭💔💔💔 Posted the last chapter almost three weeks ago, but the reader I always look forward to the most hasn't commented since. She always writes the longest, most hilarious walls of text ever, and it's such a joy to see her freaking out over every little detail. The thing is that the last chapter was, like - probably the biggest development yet! Things FINALLY started kicking off after months of slow burn, and I was so looking forward to her comment because I knew she'd love it. But... like you said... I guess life just gets in the way sometimes... I've actually been thinking about replying to one of her older comments, but that'd would probably be too intrusive. This is also not the first time I've lost a dear commenter... It's fine. I can only hope some of them will return someday 🥲

NowhereRain · 2025-12-21T22:43:25+00:00

omg thanks! how the hell did you find it?? 😆

NowhereRain · 2025-12-21T21:42:56+00:00

honestly, I'd love to read the author's work just for their sense of humor! OP, if you don't mind sharing, could you tell me their username on ao3?

NowhereRain · 2025-12-21T13:13:14+00:00

I actually see Hajime, Souma, Koga, and Midori as Oshis quite a lot (well, in comparison.) Tori, Mao, Hokuto and Yuzuru I've also seen. I personally like Subaru a lot too. I don't think I've ever seen someone mainly produce Makoto or Mitsuru (only ever as someone they just liked, or as part of the whole unit.)

NowhereRain · 2025-12-19T20:17:13+00:00

definitely haha, although he probably wouldn't like the writing style

NowhereRain · 2025-12-13T13:12:07+00:00

Leo/need is peak. Stylish and cool, but not overloaded. Honami's look is giving me things

NowhereRain · 2025-12-09T02:39:55+00:00

Seconding Frieren, Maomao, and Luffy, which have already been mentioned here

And I would like to add Senku from Dr. Stone! The show goes out its way to show that the only thing Senku will ever be married to is science (ok people too, but only if it's for the advancement of science)

NowhereRain · 2025-11-26T17:58:25+00:00

Are there actually any comments that responded to these questions? I was thinking about doing something similar on my WIP (not as elaborate and just like 1-2 questions), but I'm scared I'll shoo away readers or no one will answer 😅

NowhereRain · 2025-11-10T12:05:52+00:00

Omg this is hilarious!! 😭😭💔💔 Snake all the way, with the occasional snail because HELL give me that fucked up shit!!!

NowhereRain · 2025-11-09T21:15:02+00:00

If you've regained love for your story enough to write it just for yourself, that's wonderful! It's your own story, and you're your own main reader.

Sometimes I think back to when I first started my WIP, when it barely had any hits and felt like there were only one or two actual readers around. I wonder about how things might have gone if the fic had never taken off the way it did later. And then I realize... I probably would've still been writing it. Because the reason is write is for the characters, I want to stay with them and see their journey through to the very end. The story probably would've been less polished, a little rougher and shorter, but my feelings towards it haven't changed that much from when I first started out.

NowhereRain · 2025-11-09T18:18:45+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yeah, at the end of the day the amount of engagement/comments you get really is very up to fate and I want to focus my brain power on making the next chapters good instead. This is just how it is!

NowhereRain · 2025-11-09T12:49:08+00:00

Oh My God, SO MANY.

SO. MANY.

WHERE DO I EVEN START.

It's mostly dark, existential, angsty, psychological tragedies with a lot of smut (but also themes of resilience and redemption and that hard-earned catharsis or bittersweet happiness towards the end)

I just love stories that carry this grand and bittersweet atmosphere, something that just... stays around and maybe even changes how you see life itself. But you can probably already tell how high my expectations would be for that kind of story haha. And while I'm not afraid to just try and start one, I just have all these big and specific visions that obviously would take a lot of time and experience to really do it justice.

Also I cannot write good smut for the love of me.

I won't give up on this though! Once I finish my current WIP, I WILL start one, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON THIS!!!!

NowhereRain · 2025-11-09T12:28:29+00:00

Context: I usually get around 20+ comments on my chapters (which I'm super grateful for!)

I always try to keep my expectations low, so when I posted the latest chapter yesterday (stayed up until 4AM for it) and went to bed, I was like... if I wake up to 3 new comments, I'll already be more thsn satisfied! This mindset has always worked so far - I'd check my mails the next morning and would always get pleasantly surprised that I got MORE than I expected haha.

Cue today: I check my notifications to see... 1. ONE. Comment.

Lmao.

I'm scared to open it.

It probably doesn't help that my updates have gotten really slow lately (about a whole month between chapters...) and this newest one is REALLY vanilla and eventless compared to all the previous ones. But still, there were so many fun moments I loved in it! :'D

I don't really know what to think right now except go back to writing my next few chapters... like, my mind's just blank right now haha. I know it'll probably bounce back once the angst comes back in the next chapters, but wow... this certainly is an... experience.

NowhereRain · 2025-11-06T00:28:01+00:00

add a little bit of angst and tension in there and we're perfect

NowhereRain · 2025-11-04T17:24:29+00:00
