Hello, hello, this is still on?
...Ahem. I've been doing some writing, may link my fics here later. Not Ani related, or not too much. Still, have this Viva La Vida snippet I wrote today. (Not an actual snippet, just some shitpost Thoughts into what will happen)

And another update of Friday Night Funkin! (Vissers what's that)

So, after fighting my computer for way too long and finally giving up, I started to play the game online. It doesn't work perfectly either, it rarely charges more than the arrows and some background, but eh, good enough. I do wish it would actually sync with the music, because I end up playing from memory than from watching the arrows.

But anyway! Even with, uh, these technical difficulties, I still managed to successfully pass most weeks in Normal! Woohoo!

I def did not think I was anywhere near ready the level required to pass, and not only did I pass, but I did it with with very few misses! I'm very proud of myself rn.

The songs I did not pass were: Satin Panties & MILF (Week 4, only High actually loaded, the game crashed otherwise); Eggnog (the lack of synchronization between notes and music did me in here); and all of Week 7 (again, refused to load).

And I passed Winter Horrorland in Hard (such a good song!)

Now, to practice more and pray that I can play Week 4 and 7 at some point.

And now, to post something positive to offset my Anger.

I love Friday Night Funkin! It's the first rhythm game I've actually enjoyed playing. Like, even though my laptop (hey! I also have a laptop now!) cannot handle the game At All, and it crashes frequently, I don't care! I really like it!

For one, it's very easy. Which, good! I'm really, really awful at these kind of games. Even here, I still can't get past the first week on easy. But, you know what, it's actually fun to play, and not very frustrating when I lose, since I can just retry the song on Freeplay. And if I'm feeling like playing a song I can actually play, I just redo Beboop. (And practicing Fresh! One day I'll get past Dad Battle)

Also, watching other people play it is fun as hell. AND the songs are awesome! I have the entire OST downloaded already.

And there's something just satisfying about the game being about people singing. Something I just don't get with the other games about, idk, playing notes on a guitar or whatever.

Also I love Monster. He's da best.

Man, life has been a bit crazy as for late. New job, my uncle's ill, way Too Much of everything.

In other news, I'm 27! Got myself several things for my birthday, including The Institute by Stephen King. I't's... not a good book. I mean, I've read/watched this same plot, several times, much better done. It's long for the sake of being long, filling chapters with words but never saying anything new. Man, I liked The Dome better, and I hated every second I spent reading that book. But, like, in the end, it was an Experience, and I really liked the message at the end. This one... doesn't do nothing, it says nothing. It would have worked as a short story, I think. (And to be very sacrilegous, I prefer Eyes of Fire. Yes.)

Anyway, I'm still writing! Just. Y'know. A bit overwhelmed by Everything Else, so it's going slow. But it's going! (And distracted by Time Attack in Sonic Mania. Man, I love that game.)

Welp, here we go. Second verse, different from the past. ...And also longer. Like, way longer. Too long for a single post, methinks. So! This is just gonna be the Introduction + Part 1.

Let’s go, with my fic “Everything’s the same except Esplin takes Essam’s place in the flashbacks” (yes, I know now Essam’s name! Still no new title tho)

Oh, oh! New update! The title is officially:

Vissers

It's Edriss/Esplin (obviously), aaand it's both shameless fluff (hey, canon went there first) and Angst (cause what's Ani without Angst). Also Worldbulding (yeerk culture! Hork bajir culture!), timeline building (I stg half of this fic is me strangling canon and going “I Will make the timeline fit so help me Ellimist”), and many more fun things. And since the fic’s quite Long, I divided it in parts. Not only that, but I will (hopefully) write both the main fic, and its continuation(s):

Fic 1, Currently Untitled, For Now Simply Named Visser AU. A.K.A. Vissers.
Fic 2, The Closer To Canon Continuation, Not Yet Titled.
Fic 3, Everything Goes Off The Rails Of Canon, A.K.A. Viva La Vida

And also I wrote what would be the AO3 tags and summary, because yes.

Presenting!

Summary:

Visser Three had finally captured Visser One. He had seen her being allied with the Andalite bandits, and now he could expose her as a traitor to the Council of Thirteen. He would show the Yeerk Empire what a failure of a conqueror she was. And then he would finally become Visser One.
Visser One knew she had little hope. The case was strong, as was the evidence. Her only hope was to humiliate Visser Three, so that his case would fall apart. Yet she didn't know how. She would be killed, if she couldn't expose him in time. But the only thing she could do, not only would condemn her too, but it was something that had always been off limits. Yet, did she had another option?

The trial would begin soon, and with it...

Repressed memories from long ago...

The best day of Esplin's life suddenly became his worst. He had finally succeeded in his longlife ambition: he had an Andalite host. But he soon found himself being sent across space and time, suddenly stuck back again as Hork Bajir. He was now in a base in the corner of the galaxy, where he would meet a yeerk with big dreams of conquering Earth.

This is the story of two yeerks.
And how nothing changed.
Except it did.


Part 1: How It Began, here it goes.

Total number of completed stories: 2 3 drabbles! And a fic outline. And the countinuation of one of the drabbles.

Said (posted) fics are:

Egg On Your Face

Flow Through My Veins

Edriss & Esplin Christmas Prompt: Mistletoe

Total word count:

538 - Visser Drabble
Flow Through My Veins - 1748, of which 1444 are from the original drabble, and 245 are the (in the works) Part 2. (The slight discrepance is the title)

In total, I wrote 2286 words! That's 2286 words more than I wrote last year! :D

And if we add the fic outline, which is 3100, that's a total of 5386 words! Holy shit!

OH WAIT I totally forgot I wrote another drabble for Paper Mario! So

Egg On Your Face - 479 words

Total - 5865

YOOOOO

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? Way fucking more, lmao. Never would have thought I would actually write for my WIPs.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? Edriss/Esplin, despite being my overall Animorphs OTP, because, again, never thought I would actually sit my ass down and write. The actual surprise was Paper Mario, tho. I mean, I had only watched a playthrough of SPM back then. My newfound fanatism for the series (as well as a new game) was 100% unexpected.

What’s your own favourite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest? Of the yet unwritten ones, a fic where E&E give up on the invasion before it starts but the war still happens. Of the written ones, the E&E Christmas drabble.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? How unread the Original Works category is on AO3 lmao. But it's a nice writing exercise.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year? Ya. Actually finish FTMV, continue the outline, write more drabbles (especially for the Bad Things Happen bingo, I have the card...)

My best story of this year: Flow Through My Veins. Original writing is hard lmao.

My most popular story: Egg On Your Face, for both being from a small fandom fic wise and for being posted so shortly after the game came out.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: FTMV.

Most fun story to write: E&E Christmas Drabble. Esplin is so complainy, Luke is so done, and Edriss will not be stopped.

Most Sexy Story: Technically the Christmas drabble, althought it's only implied.

Story with the single sexiest moment: For a definition of "sexy", again, the Christmas drabble. Well, Edriss definetly tried, anyway.

Most “holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you” story: lmao FTMV. Still can't believe I posted it.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Well, the outline of the Visser AU is the most obvious one. I mean, I really had to think what made these two tick to write it. But also the Christmas drabble, as Esplin comes across like an old man complaining about "back in my days", which was the funniest thing ever.

Hardest story to write: FTMV, and I still have no idea how to finish the second chapter. Working on it, though.

Most disappointing: None, I don't think.

Easiest story to write: Egg On Your Face! I wrote it and posted it in like an hour.

Biggest surprise: When I actually finished and posted some things.

Most unintentionally telling story: Oh, the Visser AU. I didn't even post the second outline and already feels like a personal callout.

Story I’d like to revise: I'm tempted to edit Egg On Your Face but that's the bad brain talking. I Will Not.

Story I didn’t write but will at some point, I swear: The AU in where E&E give up on the invasion. It's right there, I just have to write.

This is another vent post but it's just to screech about K.A. Applegate's nonsense constants contradictions in worldbuilding.

Ok, less "writing" and more "writing dowm notes about the story" but! It's still Ideas that Are Not Just On My Brain Anymore.

Aaand it's a new AU, cause I don't have enough with my Animorph Erek AU (I will post about it one day, I swear)

Also, this Writing Stuff Down is messy cause I haven't reread Visser yet, will probably make a separate post with any changes to this AU once I do.

I call it the "Everything's the same except Esplin is the other yeerk in the Visser flashbacks" AU (...working title)

Anyway first Erek post and it's just to say that I took a uquiz as him and he got

Your Result: the dog
