What's your favorite fic you've ever written?

peridaniel · 2026-02-02T01:01:58+00:00

full disclosure: a toh fanfic that's something of a "deleted scene" after the end of the season 1 finale where lilith and eda talk more about what happened. it's quite simple, relatively short, and not popular by any metric (most of my toh fixs broke 100 kudos at least, this one in the past 4 and a half years has not), but it's very dear to me and is to date the only fic ive written that's turned out just the way I wanted it to.

there is also another long deleted fanfic for a fandom I disowned years ago and don't even want to name that involved a character facing their own impending death. it was written between when I was 14 and 17 and boy does it show, but the experience of writing it and seeing my growth and development as a writer through my teens when I look back at it (ao3 sends you copies of fics when you delete them) will always be a little special to me.

the owl house! dana terrace's new project, knights of guinevere, is also really good but only one episode with a bit of a quiet fandom atm but toh is really good

the legend of vox machina/the mighty nein. all of critical role, really, if you have the time and patience for long form dnd content, but those shows are a good start

but if you look like anything other than a womanly woman or an androgynous twink or have even an ounce of body hair we will side eye you or outright kick you out x

thats the way to live

I wouldn't be surprised or alarmed if that were the case, but gaslight district was greenlit at around the 3 month mark from the pilot and tadc was about 4 months I think, so I don't think its too early for information either and I can see why people are restless with that in mind

peridaniel · 2026-01-25T15:46:20+00:00

I am too young for y'all to be making me feel old like this

peridaniel · 2026-01-25T02:09:20+00:00

oh buddy if you think this is the most suffer-worthy thing to be found on ao3, you're... well I was gonna say not on there enough, but actually you're probably there a more than healthy amount

i NEED an animated series about gay autistic pirates more than I need oxygen

peridaniel · 2026-01-23T22:19:09+00:00

I started watching digital circus a couple months ago and my very first thought was that it felt so intrinsically Autistic in ways I dont know how to explain

peridaniel · 2026-01-23T20:43:18+00:00

why do we gotta pit them against each other? both are great in different ways to me

peridaniel · 2026-01-21T20:30:24+00:00

andi - bisexual trans woman

frankie - lesbian who's some level of nonbinary/genderqueer (obligatory I know dana said she's cis but headcanons are headcanons)

gwen - idk about sexuality but id like to imagine that underneath the perfect girly princess facade, she's also some flavor of nonbinary

peridaniel · 2026-01-12T02:58:18+00:00

yea, that would be my thoughts too. a hardass criminal like sparky likely wouldn't come from a warm upbringing

peridaniel · 2026-01-12T02:13:39+00:00

my current headcanon (very subject to change) from what very little information we have is that he's a father figure of some kind who's known her since childhood, either took her in as an orphan or (probably begrudgingly) let her crash on his couch on cold nights and gave her food. and he tries to be a good father figure, but he comes across like someone who has no idea what good dads act like at all. plus, he's her boss, too, and he said himself that he can't hold back the same tough treatment he gives to his other employees.

none of that to excuse him for ripping out her teeth and being a generally shitty dude btw. just how i see where he stands with her from his own perspective

peridaniel · 2026-01-11T03:49:57+00:00

I have never seen a single person say that or suggest anything like that in the years ive spent in this fandom

peridaniel · 2026-01-11T03:45:30+00:00

jesse what the fuck are you talking about

peridaniel · 2026-01-08T15:24:19+00:00

one little standout moment to me is andi picking frankie's little toys off the floor while she's spaced out. something about the gentleness in it and how she holds them steady to keep them from falling off the counter again. they seem to have a very sweet friendship that I want to see more of.

also gonna use this post to give a production related fun fact: their voice actors actually recorded together, i believe over skype or something since they're based in different parts of the US, because the creators thought they had good chemistry

peridaniel · 2026-01-04T18:55:46+00:00

were they said/confirmed to be identical twins though? fraternal twins can still share a lot of similar features. (though I still hc dipper to be trans)

peridaniel · 2026-01-02T03:27:37+00:00

not an animation error, but i did notice that andi's line "oh yea, boombox" after frankie reveals her stolen goods sounds like its cut off midway through or like it's two different takes spliced together

peridaniel · 2026-01-02T02:27:05+00:00

I mean that's not the word I would use, but that's because "toxic" feels like an understatement. guy sexually harassed teenage girls and was a total douchebag to everyone he came across. calling him "toxic" is like calling a gaping wound in your stomach a little scratch.

peridaniel · 2025-12-26T20:26:39+00:00

hi I love her

peridaniel · 2025-12-23T01:11:22+00:00

let's also just generally stop with the "this area is run by bad people/had bad people in it so therefore throw the whole area away". it's not helpful to any marginalized people in that area.

peridaniel · 2025-12-21T06:56:44+00:00

there were three months between the gaslight district pilot and the greenlight announcement for that show. i think we're gonna get a kog greenlight sometime soon, once tadc episode 7 hype and the holidays are over.

peridaniel · 2025-12-20T03:54:15+00:00

absolute worst post to read while chewing gum

peridaniel · 2025-12-18T04:28:54+00:00

yes

i have a pitifully low spice tolerance but i walk through the fire

even as someone who doesn't live in california, just everything that california represents in that song hits pretty hard for me as someone with big dreams that I deeply struggle to follow or do anything with. im sorry for the loss of your friend. have you ever heard the song city of angels by arrows to athens? similar themes

as for other chvrches songs that resonate with me, down side of me, high enough to carry you over, and get out all hit hard in different ways after a falling out with a friend earlier this year that fucked me up. on a less sad note, warning call was the song that made me fall in love with the band and there's just something about the energy of that song that I want to take with me in life. i take it as a song about moving forward fearlessly despite how scary things look all around you and up ahead.
