Hey guys! So I know this came out a little quicker than expected but I got bored and kinda wanted to wrap this up :) So without further ado, here's the little Q&A!
Asked by the wonderful joshie-joseph:
1. What song first got you into Panic!?
A: Victorious. It first came out when I was just starting my freshman year of high school, and I still remember it was in the middle of art class. My friend showed me this new song that had come out, and I really liked it, so I went home and listened to it for like ten hours. Slowly but surely I explored more of Panic's! music, and I just fell down the rabbit hole :)
2. How long have you liked Panic!/shipped Ryden?
A: I've liked Panic! since freshman year of high school (which was back in 2015 since I'm gonna be a senior this coming year yikes) and I've shipped Ryden since the summer of 2017. I hadn't delved deep into the past of Panic! until last year when I was bored on YouTube one day and stumbled across CrankThatFrank, and he dragged me into the depths of Ryden hell. Literally. But hey, I love him for it because we wouldn't be here without him. Shoutout to CrankThatFrank
3. How did you get so good at writing?
A: Ooh boy, I've been writing since 3rd grade. What was that, like 2008 probably? I read A LOT as a young child, and that got me interested in writing my own stories. In 3rd grade I had the best teacher who really encouraged me to write more (and she even let me read some of my stuff to the class). Most of my stories were about Wizards of Waverly Place because I was obsessed with that show. I was writing fanfiction before I even knew what fanfiction was. So yeah, reading a lot definitely helped me, and just keep on writing if you wanna get better :) (also shoutout to my 3rd grade teacher for sparking my interest in writing, you da best)
4. Which part of the story was your favorite to write?
A: Any part with Jon was an absolute blast to write. Him and Jynx were by far my favorites to write about in this whole story, and Jynx is probably my favorite character I've ever created. She's our queen. My favorite part of all time though was probably when Brendon first went to Jon's hut. Developing how mysterious Jon was in this story was super fun there :)
5. Which part of the story was your least favorite to write?
A: Probably all the introduction stuff. Introducing the story and everything has never been fun for me. I like to get right to the action (that and writing the argument between Brendon and Ryan was painful but also great because I'm a sadist)
6. Who would you rather have lunch with: Brendon or Ryan? Why?
A: Ryan, without a doubt. He's so smol and awkward and nice and I just love him to bits. We're both pretty socially inept too so I just feel like we'd get along. I love Brendon and all, but I think he'd be a bit too energetic for me. Energetic people start to drain me after a while
7. Which character has the most in common with you?
A: I'd say a weird mix of Jon and Dallon. My friends call me mysterious, and the people at school who I don't talk to are afraid of me because I have an extreme resting bitch face. My friend's brother told her he was always scared I was gonna murder him when I passed him in the hall. Plus I don't put up with people's bull, and I'd like to think I'm kinda sassy but will also be really caring and helpful if you need it. A little complicated, but I think that covers it
8. ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW AWESOME YOU ARE?
A: Probably not haha :) You're too nice to me ily <3
Asked by the lovely ImTheCoolBird:
1. Where did the inspiration for this story come from?
A: Jazz band, actually. Back in November of 2017, my jazz band took a trip to listen to some other bands play jazz, and in the middle of one of the performances I just sat back and wondered what it would be like to write a story based around jazz. I've always loved how jazz sounds and I love the aesthetic of it and the 1920s and 1930s, so I was like hey, why not? And when I watched jacksepticeye play Cuphead, that music really inspired me too. It all just melded together, so I started my research :)
Asked by the amazing yeemospencerstan:
1. I have a question for you, do you think if Spencer was still alive, that he would be with Jon? I know weird but, I feel like it would be a way to pull off a happy ending even though it's not like the happy ending type of story
A: Absolutely. I originally planned that in the final chapter, Jon was going to tease Ryan about how good Spencer was in bed or something else like that, but I couldn't make it fit. That's why I revealed that Jon was gay in this story too, just to kinda hint at it. I would've loved to make it an all-around happy ending, but since I'm me, I had to throw in a little angst, didn't I? ;)
Thanks so much for all the questions! They were super fun to answer.
Now onto some final bits. I know I say this a lot, but it really means so much to me that you guys enjoyed the story. It was a blast to write, and reading all of your incredible and funny comments made the experience so much better. Seriously, I read every single one of the comments and smiled like a moron because they made me so happy. Writing itself is incredibly fun, but having the overwhelming and amazing support that you guys bring just makes it an experience unlike any other. So thank you <3
On another note, let's talk future Ryden stories, shall we?
I've been thinking about this one for a while, so tell me what you think:
It's a fantasy/medieval-based story where Brendon is a prince and the other members are secrets for now. I'm talking magic, witches, wizards, elves, dwarves, mermaids, potions, DRAGONS. I kinda want it to be based around the elements of Skyrim (because Skyrim is probably one of my favorite games of all time) so if you know what that is, just picture it. It would be a really long story to get all the elements in, so it would probably take a while, but still! I think it would be super fun, so let me know what you think!
If you have any other ideas for a Ryden story too, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to take the idea into consideration and see what I can do with it :)
In the meantime, The Ghost of Him is probably gonna be my main focus. It has Ryden in it too (and bits of Peterick and stuff here and there). If you're not that into MCR or Frerard though, that's perfectly fine. Just know that it'll probably be a bit of time before my next Ryden story comes out
Since I won't be updating this story anymore either and if you don't plan to follow The Ghost of Him, just keep an eye out for any changes in my profile for the next Ryden story. It'll probably be at least a couple of months though, just so you're aware
So yeah! I think that just about covers everything I wanted to talk about. Hopefully you enjoyed the little Q&A (and if you were late to the party and still wanna ask me something, just comment it and I'd be happy to answer). Let me know your thoughts about the fantasy story, and if you have another idea, hit me up!
One final time, thank you so much for all the overwhelming love and support. It seriously makes my life so much better knowing that I have a lovely little family here on Wattpad :')
Thanks a ton for sticking with me through this. It was an absolute blast
I'll see you in the next one <3
