Weethreequarter - Tumblr Posts
After winning bidding on my @marveltrumpshate auction, @weethreequarter asked to be surprised by the story I picked and the moodboard I made. This left me with the difficult task of picking just one of her amazing stories. Fortunately, in the end I did manage to make a decision!
So, without further ado, the moodboard end result:
The story I ended up choosing was Return to Neverland. It may seem like one of the 'easier' choices, due to the fact that it's WinterIron, but that is not why I ended up choosing it.
It deals beautifully with some fairly intense subjects, not the least of which is Bucky’s depression. I strongly admire the way Ree managed to handle the overwhelming feelings that Bucky deals with, as well as the way it makes you completely shut yourself away from others.
The horses are a wonderful addition that matters to the story, and that helps bring all of them together. Helping the horse that he found made it so Bucky himself started to get a little better as well, enough to accept help, and that message resonates with me. Sometimes you feel like you’re not worth it, but the people (and animals) that care for you are. And sometimes, that’s what you need to take that first step on a long journey towards getting better.
I have been cheering for Bucky, as well as for the others, the entire story so far, and I am eagerly looking forward to the final chapters. Thank you, Ree, for this incredibly touching story. I hope you love my creations as much as I love yours!!
(Because yes, I loved the story so much, I made a second moodboard for the secondary pairing in this story!)

Meaning behind url
Some years ago, I started playing Guild Wars 2, and I was looking for a name on there. I’m not even sure anymore where I ended up exactly, but in the end, I picked the name ‘Eirvyn’ - the first part of which, ‘Eir’, stuck as a nickname. Then later, the character that ended up being my main character was ‘Eirlys’, which is generally the name I use elsewhere online as well. Except finally, while I could get away with just adding a last name in-game to make the names unique, outside of the game that didn’t really work. So Eirlyssa was born.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it. K: What's the angstiest idea you've come up with?
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
Hahaha oh wow I actually find this really difficult to answer because honestly, I don’t think dialogue is really my strong point? But I’d have to go with the dialogue from the first chapter of Coming Together (Falling Apart).
“They said it was one of us or all of us, and there is no reason for all of us to get tortured.”
“So what, you want to offer up one of us to get hurt?” Clint’s eyes were narrowed, his fists clenched once again.
“I do, in fact.” After a few seconds of stunned silence, he continued. “I’m Iron Man, sure, but outside of the suit, I’m just a regular, unenhanced civilian. You are trained to withstand interrogation - I’m not. We’ve got no idea what they want, or which one of us can give it to them, but I say we send in anyone but me.”
It keeps going like that, and I’m really proud of the double layers, the way they’re performing for the (hidden) cameras, and the way Steve (as the POV character) doesn’t know exactly what is going on, but slowly starts realizing that something definitely is.
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve come up with?
Hmmm…. That would probably have been either Hate Me or some of my Whumptober shorts.
The first one is a lot of internal angst, with Tony hating himself and also hiding the fact that he’s Iron Man (because Iron Man is good, and Tony Stark isn’t). The second one has more external angst, with people getting hurt a lot.
That being said, angst is relative for me, because I’m terrible at unhappy endings (reading and writing both) and my stories either outright end well, or the implication is that they will (in the case of the Whumptober ones, where I didn’t have time to write entire fics).
Thank you very much for your questions!! 💙💙💙
25, 27, and 30 for the soft asks please?
Thank you so much for the ask! 💙
25. what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.)
I honestly love anything that someone makes specifically for me, but if I had to pick? A letter. I absolutely love getting letters, reading them and later re-reading them... It’s like a story between me and the sender that I can enjoy over and over again. I pretty much keep all letters I’ve ever gotten, and even if I lose them for a while, reading them again months or years later, it still makes me feel warm inside.
27. which character would you want to be?
A difficult question mostly because it depends on what it means, exactly, to be a character. Do you have their powers, their adventures, their very identity? In general, probably one of the many self-inserts I’ve thought up over the years that have all kinds of cool powers (like my recent ‘elemental’ insert in the MCU) 😝
30. what reminds you of home?
A good hug. Sometimes my mind bounces a bit too much to enjoy it as I should, and it’s too busy, but those times where I can let myself enjoy a hug? Where I can lean into it and breathe it and feel it all the way through? That’s home to me.
Thanks again so much for the ask, and I hope you like the answer! 💙
wisteria; whom do you admire and why? & lilac; if you could go back in time which time period would you visit?
Yayy, thank you for asking!! 💙💙
wisteria; whom do you admire and why?
Alright, I’m gonna lean into fandom and say Tony Stark here. Not because there aren’t real people I admire or anything, but because he exemplifies a lot of qualities that I admire in people. He’s not a perfect person at all, of course, and there’s also qualities I’m less fond of, but...
To me, he reminds me that it’s never too late to turn things around. It’s never too late to look at things, to see they are Not Right, and to change them. He doesn’t forget what’s gone wrong, doesn’t forget the mistakes he’s made, but he doesn’t let those keep him down. And to me, it is really important to see that it’s never too late, as long as you don’t give up.
lilac; if you could go back in time which time period would you visit?
Hmmm... There’s periods I’d like to see, people I’d like to meet, but I think if I really had to make a choice, I’d go back to when I was younger, when things weren’t going well in a lot of ways and I needed someone. And I’d sit with myself, and listen, and try to help out. I’d tell myself some of the things I needed to hear back then and people couldn’t tell me for various reasons. I’d let myself cry, and rage, and I’d give myself a hug.
