WHY SO PIZZA?

@canolacrush / canolacrush.tumblr.com

Hi, I'm canolacrush, but for the sake of simplicity you can call me CC or Canola. Been alive longer than cell phones. Things I like: quirky murder mysteries of many sorts (ace attorney is my main atm), cats, languages, silhouette art, and pizza. If you're looking for my fanfic, it can be found here.

Canola’s Top 5 Fics

If you managed to find your way here despite my lack of appearing in the tumblr search and tags, congratulations!  Pretend like you’ve found a Shiny Pokemon or something.  I futz around here most of the time, but I’m also a fic writer.  If you wanna see all those fics, they’re up on AO3, but these are my personal top 5 favourites that I’ve written:

1. Chicago Noël - It’s the one I’ve spent the most time working on and am proudest of so far! If you like long slow burns, ace attorney AUs, romcoms and dramatic intrigue, you’ll probably like this one. It’s a mafia/baker historical noir AU where a high-ranking mafia member (Miles Edgeworth) meet-uglies a newly arrived baker (Phoenix Wright) and then gets mysteriously captivated while trying to figure out what the hell this random man is trying to hide.

2. Keeping All My Secrets Safe (Nobody Does It Better) - Smaller fandom with a not-as-well-known pairing, but you know what, if you like the basic premise of Bigfoot and an FBI agent falling in love in non-chronological order, you might like this one anyway. I find myself rereading this one often, since it’s a quick 25k.

3. Out of Order - It’s my most kudosed fic for a reason. ^^; Ace Attorney narumitsu fic in the canon universe that’s frankly just a bit silly, fun, and sweet. Basic premise: Miles gets a haircut and Nick loses his goddamn mind trying to cope with it, lol.

4. Remapping the Stars - a post-canon Magnus Archives fic featuring The Girls adjusting to life in the post-apocalypse. It’s short, moody, maybe a bit atmospheric, but I don’t know, something about it just hits something for me that I felt was missing in the end of the series.  I’m still quite fond of this one.

5. Mark of the Addict - ehhh...well...To be quite honest, I don’t recommend most people read this one, primarily because it comes with a huge laundry list of trigger warnings and it’s the darkest fic I’ve ever written.  All that said, I’m still proud of it, since in my opinion it’s still an entertaining horror novella; it’s just, if you do choose to read it, read all the tags and know what you’re getting into beforehand before deciding if it’s for you.  It’s not gonna be for everyone, and that’s okay.  But anyway, it’s a Dracula fic that’s based on a mixed canon of the Hammer movies and also the original novel.

It's not lost on me that part of my job as a fiction writer is helping people imagine things. Like you couldn't think of this yourself so let me walk you through it.

I also have this happen to me when I read. Like yeah I can't imagine what it's like to go on a scientifically accurate space adventure. Walk me through that. Help me take my time with it.

Every type of fiction writer does this tbh. You didn't slow down enough to imagine that viking romance. Let me walk you through it. And we love it, seeing as storyteller is still a job in some form like half a million years later. Imagine if those stars were sisters. No really, sit down and think about it a minute I'll help

Visual artists get to just give people what they’re thinking about. You just make it happen. Here’s a cow. I’ve gotta describe the cow. Make the cow seem interesting. Get into the personal and family history of the cow.

AA Fic Rec

I've sunk on AA so bad. I have such a long list. Almost 100 on my bookmarks. Here is my attempt to organize my bookmark list. I know I created a list before But this is better. I'll start of with my general AA WrightWorth List fic recommendation I've bookmarked since I sunk into this rabbit hole. Buckle your seats because this post is going to be reaaaally loooong. I tried to clean it as much as possible. So if you guys are looking for some AA WrightWorth treasure trove, this is it. I'm sure there are some I've read and missed. I will update my list as much as possible. My summary is literally bare to none and just my spoilers and hints what I love about it so mmmuuuch!

Oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH, OP. I'm beyond honored to be on this list with some truly incredible AA authors. Glad you liked Shear Luck!

I love SO MANY of the fics on here and can echo your positive reviews. Just tagging some folks so they know about this list:

@canolacrush, @theinkhiddenwithin, @samioli, @kbots, @metaphorical-goblin, @zombiekittiez, @paxohana, @harmonization, @daddywright

I think that's everyone that I know here. Please tag other authors in this list to let them know if you can!

(Thanks to @anotherfangirlsworld for flagging this for me!)

Thank you op, I'm glad you liked Out of Order so much!! And I'm honoured for my fic to be among such other greats - I know I've read a few on here that I've also loved, but there's a few newer ones on here I haven't read yet that I'll check out too! :-)

(P.S. Thanks @aawrightworth for alerting me to this post, also psst @wingsonghalo I saw one of yours on here too.)

I don’t think I ever posted the full comic where moomin straight up confesses he likes snufkin but “one doesn’t say it”, a problem he’s never had with snorkmaiden or anyone else before. I think about this constantly. and the thought of snufkin purposely leaving flower trails behind all so moomin can find him is so cute.

note the decorative borders that seem to emote based on the events unfolding as well, it’s one of my favorite things from the moomin comics

"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice."
