I mean, I haven’t seen it yet but I didn’t have high hopes for it. Bucklemming haven’t exactly had good episodes the last few seasons.

It is. I’ve been told fragments of what happens in 19 and 20 but I don’t have a script to back it up.

Hi, I was sent it by a friend who had access to the set at the time the episode was being filmed, so it’s not something I feel comfortable posting since if it traces back to them, they could get in trouble. I’m not sure if there is anything identifiable in there, but I’m not willing to take the risk, so I’ve only shown it to a few close friends.

(I can’t reply privately when you’re anonymous).

Like I said in the ask I just answered, if it was platonic then there’d be no reason to mention Dean’s unrequited feelings. Dean has never made a secret of the fact that he considers Cas family. He loves him. So to me, that means Cas’ declaration was romantic. But that’s just my interpretation, it’s upto you to choose what you believe!

I mostly just came on to post a snippet of the script I’ve been keeping quiet since March… but honestly, yeah, I’m thinking I might stick around. I’ve missed the fandom :D

dream; how long do you sleep on average?

Oh this is a tricky question. It depends on the phase of the moon, whether I’ve been playing D&D, whether I’m in a fanfiction mood, etc. Too many variables. One week I can be on a British time zone and sleeping for 12+ hours, or like this week I’ve been up till 6am and up by 1pm. 

garden; do you have a garden? plants?

I do not, sadly. I live in an upstairs apartment with no balcony so there’s not really any light or anywhere for plants. It’s definitely something I’m going to look into though, Dean (my best friend/flatmate) and I are house-hunting for somewhere to buy, so maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get a garden too.

1975; if you could time travel to any time period, what would it be and why?

Answered here!

Blacklist ‘ask game for ts’ to hide these! [Just finished up!]

perfume; favorite scent?

Answered here!

daydream; best memory?

I have many, so I guess I’ll reply with a random one. The day I moved in with my best friend. He’s aro-gay and I’m pan-ace and neither of us ever plan on dating so we sort of made a platonic lifelong commitment. And my parents were abusive, so it was a sort of escape as well as a leap to the future.

valentine; best gift you’ve ever received?

The wonderful @bearrypatch paid for me to come and visit her and go to her  wedding when something came up and I couldn’t afford to go. Hands down the best gift I’ve ever gotten. In terms of material items, my old gish captain got me Misha’s autograph :)

Hi there! You can read it on AO3 here. And there’s a rebloggable link here if you were interested in sharing :) I hope it’s sweet enough for you, I totally understand the love of AUs myself hehe

Thank you, dear anon, you’re so sweet! I’ve got a bingo card to finish so I probably am going to keep writing :) at least after my exam tomorrow.

I think I really needed to hear this. I’ve been so worried that people will think I’m romanticizing harassment or rape or anything like that because of that one person’s perspective - that’s absolutely never something I want to condone.

The whole thing has made me really stressed that this is what I’ve unwittingly portrayed, so to hear so many people tell me that’s not the case is helping, so thank you so much.

This was so kind, thank you so much. And I’m really happy it helped you out even just a little, I’m so sorry that you had an anxiety attack. Are you doing better?

Thank you, friend. I’m really glad you liked it. Food-related AU’s are my favourite tropes to both read and write.

It’s just disappointing that someone could interpret what I wrote in that way. I would never want anyone to think I condone something like that. I felt so proud of this fic because it gave me so much trouble. I had about three or four friends brainstorming with me because I wanted to get the pacing right between Cas saying no and then changing his mind. Now I just really hate that I’ve written and posted something that people can interpret in that way.

Thank you, friend! I’m a little drained recently because of uni assignments but other than that I’m doing just great! Your message has brightened my day, thank you so much! (I think you have me mixed up with someone else who is actually awesome but I appreciate this anyway) :D

Thank you, friend! It didn’t turn out exactly like I planned but it was fun animating it all!

Anon, thank you so much! I’ve always been so insecure about fight scenes because I find them so hard and they take me much longer to write than any other scenes, so this was so kind!

I guess one of the things I try to do is focus on the sensory aspect of the fight? It’s not just ‘A punched B, and then B roundhouse kicked A’. From A’s perspective, he has a whole range of senses that are on hyper alert. A rush of adrenaline, the sound of his heartbeat/blood pumping in his ears, the peripheral blindness that comes with insurmountable rage being focused on one target. He’ll taste blood in his mouth, feel trickles of sweat running down his forehead, the stinging burn of his knuckles splitting open with each punch.

Another thing is: fights are hard. A will feel pain from every blow he makes or takes. Even trained fighters can’t fight in combat indefinitely, especially if you go in hard and don’t conserve energy. Generally speaking, fight scenes in movies never last too long.  Muscles ache, adrenaline wears off quickly, you just absolutely fucking hurt from having too many blows to the face. I usually try to resolve things quickly, but not too quickly that the fight doesn’t stand out.

It obviously all depends on what your situation is. I try to pick one character’s POV and stick to it and then include their internal thoughts, reactions, feelings. The way ARTEMIS is written, with alternating perspectives, it means I’m free at any point to switch to Character B’s POV and show their side of things too, which gives me a little more freedom where the flow is concerned. But even if you stick to one character’s POV, you should be aware that the other characters involved will have their own pain, feelings, agenda too?

For me, that’s what makes a fight interesting. I’ve read dozens of fics and seen hundreds of movies where fight scenes are dragged out and unrealistic. It’s been done to death. And not to say that I don’t still love an unrealistic thirty minute martial art scene (read: Kill Bill, which is still in my top 10 forever fave movies), but for me, when people research how the human body actually reacts in a fight and make it more realistic, that gives a fight scene a whole different dimension for me.

This is a post I refer to often when writing action scenes.

I didn’t mean to let this get so long haha. I hope that was helpful? To answer the other half of your question, I really hope to update ARTEMIS soon but I don’t have an exact time frame yet. My regular beta is busy and I have an exam in a couple of weeks. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer - I’m definitely still working on it.
