#//I haven't put his verses up yet but I'm working on them and these were thoughts I had while working on them ><< /div> Explore tagged Tumblr posts

[its-a-full-galaxy]

//So I've been thinking about the many iterations I have of Darius and I'm realizing just how different he is in each verse and setting. Like, looking at the verses I have for him on another blog of mine (kind of an archive of things), it's really incredible how just putting Darius into a different setting and situation really changes his character.

//Like, in his Historical Fantasy/Fiction/Monster Blood Tattoo verse, he's a confident, cheerful, laid-back young man who's pretty carefree when he's not on duty, while also being skilled, faithful, and competent when he is on duty. His duty of being that of a Leer/Videre in his homeland and the special kind of skillsman/hunter/tracker/bodyguard skills that comes with it.

//This carries over in his Destiny 2 setting, where he's very much the same except a little more reserved due to trauma (losing his family to the Hoard of Xivu Arath & using his "dragon's wish" to time travel to try and stop her/do the vengeance thing over and over until he realizes vengeance is a dead end and simply wishes to be with his family again.) He's still got the dragon wish & the wish his father used to bring him back to life when he was a little boy (Baribus making a deal with a wish dragon to bring him back), as well as all the effects his vengeance quest took him on. But even with that, he's still openly friendly, confident, and competent in what he does and navigating the situations he's in and encounters.

//And then we get to his Mando verse where he's 200% more reserved and reclusive than his other verses, and is still learning to navigate things with the skill and deftness his other iterations have. I'm still trying to figure out why, though I think it may have to do with the fact that in the SW verse, Darius doesn't recover in the same way as he does in his other verses and that he may not pick up on social cues because that was more done via his Force/Empath connection. I'm not sure but that's my theory right now.

//anyway, it's just been really interesting thinking about how different Darius is in his different verses and what I can and need to do to keep him a little more consistent across his verses.

One (☝️) freebie plz. For whatever verse your heart desires (or a new one if you have an idea)

"You never have cash," Vanessa mused, watching you pay for a couple pairs of new pants and a new dress with now straightened out bills.

"Not usually," You hum, "Logan handed it to me this morning and told me to do something with it- I'm assuming that was his not-so-subtle way of telling me he can hear me struggling with my jeans in the morning."

She snorted, "Not like I want to give him credit, but he probably didn't notice. Or he's too distracted by your boobs. He probably just knows there's stuff you want to buy and haven't yet."

"Probably," you take the bag and your change, "I just don't even know where to start."

"Not telling your mother," she recommended, pulling you towards a stand that sold smoothies. "God I'm thirsty, my treat. Can't let you get scurvy or something."

"As long as it doesn't have bananas in it," you say, crinkling your nose. "Ugh."

"I told Wade NOT to bring the banana bread," she laughed, "I don't think he really believed that you were gonna puke."

"Well- he found out." You lean your head on her shoulder and look at the menu, "The peach one sounds good."

"And hopefully won't make you puke."

"Peaches are fine. As long as they aren't canned."

Logan let himself into your apartment cautiously. Feeling better now that he was clean and in clean clothes. Construction was hot, dirty work, but it paid. And that was important.

There were some new baby things, carefully put away in the corner where you'd been putting them until you could organize it all and he could smell something beef based and savory cooking in your crockpot. But it was quiet.

It made him feel weird as he walked across the floor.

But then he peered over the sofa and smiled a little. You were snuggled into a blanket and asleep. Trigger eyed him warily and Logan pressed a finger to his lips as he walked around the sofa and knelt to kiss the side of your head. "Hey, Princess," he murmured, stroking your arm.

"Hm?"

"Tired today, huh?"

"Wasn't even trying to go to sleep. Just settled down to watch a show," you tell him, yawning. "Was waiting to hear back on some stuff."

He smiled a little and stroked your hair, "Must've needed the sleep, just didn't want to scare you poking around in the kitchen."

"It's beef stew. There's bread in the oven and I made brownies," you hum, stretching.

"No wonder you needed a nap," he chuckled.

"Brownies just sounded good. And it's cold out today. Figured you were tired of Wade's chicken experiments and would probably want something hot."

"Thanks, sweetheart," he said, feeling himself blush. You thought about him? He didn't think you poisoned it either. "Kid's got a sweet tooth, huh?"

"At least I know they like brownies. And not banana anything."

Logan snorted, "I owe them a pony on their 5th birthday for making you throw up on Wade when he shoved that bread in your face."

"I couldn't even stop it-"

"Better than it comin' out your nose. And I bet he won't just shove shit in your face again."

"There is that." You sit up slowly and rub your eyes, "If you gimme a second I'll make some plates and-"

"Just stay there," Logan said, "I'll get it. Do you want water or-"

"Ice tea, please."

"And a brownie."

"Or like 2. Two is good."

On Taylor, too..... Just wanted to add. I'm with you and the other anons annoyance of having to stick up for her. But we are also introduced to her in S2 when Eddie is dealing with his wife. Of course, I shipped Buddie back then, but literally, I'm all the way down the hole now. When she is reintroduced in Covid. That's the point I thought they were maybe going to finally diverge the Buddie storyline. I thought Eddie would go off with Anna. And Buck was lonely. He was isolated and not on a winning streak, so I was actually happy he got "his whale" in a way. But that was the shows last chance. They did will reveal. It was clear there wasn't doing to have a divergence in their story. So exactly why would I accept someone now who doesn't have 20% of the development of Taylor. So many years later where the only thing that stops bUddie from being married is they haven't gone to pound town yet.

Yeah, that's the thing really, up until suspicion and the shooting, buddie was very much still up in the air. It could've gone any direction because, besides some key moments, they are best friends, to tone it down a little bit and let them be besties with their respective wives seemed like the most plausible scenario. If there was no shooting, Eddie would've settled and had a decent life with Ana in my opinion, I see season 4 Eddie just accepting that was all he could get, he liked her, Chris liked her, life could be nice and that would be it. And Taylor, she was framed as this multiseason great love. They developed her character and her relationship with Buck, during First Responders and Treasure Hunt they are establishing a connection they could've worked with to keep Buck with Taylor. Let's face it, we were all looking at buddie and liking their interactions and seeing the potential but it is the shooting that changes everything, it's the "Because Evan" that makes them possible. Everything about the shooting is romantic. The slow-motion of the blood hitting Buck, the wide-shot of the both of them, the impression they give that they have their eyes locked across the pavement, Buck doing the saving alone, the focus on hands, "are you hurt", Buck escalating from we got you to I got you, from just hang on to I need you to hang on. And if that wasn't enough, they hit us with the will reveal. After Buck had already stepped up. Eddie putting Buck in his will is not inherently romantic, hiding it and only revealing it because he needs Buck to see he's loved and that his life matters? Absolutely is. The level of understanding between Buck and Eddie that was shown during Survivors destroyed any possibility of them not ending up together and it still being satisfying. And they keep playing that up. It wasn't an isolated event. Sure, it was a fantasy, because we were dealing with two guys that were being presented as straight, but the idea of them not ending up together feels unsatisfying and that's exemplified by the ending of season 6 because if that was the actual ending of the show it would've been deeply meh for both of them. And now Buck is canonically queer. Which means buddie is an actual plausible possibility. The amount of work that would have to be put into a character for them to even begin to feel as satisfying as a partner for Buck as Eddie or vice-verse was already a lot, but now that they are an actual possibility, come on. The work that was put into Taylor is the bare minimum. The idea that I should lower that bar now just because the person in question is a man is laughable to me. Eddie is right there. Six seasons worth of development, and friendship, and partnership, and understanding. I need at least half of that to even begin thinking about considering accepting someone else as a possibility.

Jake x neytiri x neytiri

Agnosis | Eddie Munson Fanfiction

chapter four: wasted years

wc: 896

synopsis and masterlist here

previous chapter

next chapter

————————————————————————

Eddie is over the moon. He only has one more song to write for his album before he can release it. He's already been writing little bundles of lyrics that come to him after dates. Sometimes during, like right now.

She's sitting on the countertop of Eddie's kitchen, watching him work on songwriting as he sits on the kitchen floor, focusing intently on his notepad and guitar. They originally came in here to make cookies, which are baking in the oven. She murmured some cheesy joke about how sweet he is and Eddie ran to his room to grab his writing tools. He said her joke inspired a lyric, she hoped it wasn't word for word. It'd make for a really dumb song.

She hops off the countertop to grab the cookies out of the oven when they're ready. They look a little wonky but then again so does any food Eddie tries to make. He blames it on his oven. She puts a few on a plate and goes to sit next to him on the floor.

"Want one?" she asks sweetly.

He looks up from his notepad to smile at her. "Yes please."

She feeds him a bite of hers and he softly bites her fingertips as he looks at her with his big eyes. She blushes slightly and pulls her hand away as she rolls her eyes playfully. He chuckles and goes back to his notepad.

————————————————————————

"Okay how's this?" Eddie says as he plays the first verse of his song for her in his room.

The sound of the song is Eddie's usual thrash metal, but the lyrics might be the sweetest thing she's ever heard. She may be a little biased, since it is about her after all. He uses his nerdy D&D references to spill out the way she makes him feel, like he's under a level-9 spell.

"Wait a minute, is this song about me?" she teases, as if she didn't know.

He chuckles and throws a pillow at her.

"Yes, smartass. How is it?" he smiles, but he's also nervous to hear her thoughts on it.

"I love it. Can I try something with the guitar on it though?" she says as she sits closer to him.

He takes the guitar strap off his shoulder and hands his guitar to her. She starts playing it the way he was, but changes a few notes here and there. He's just staring at her with a smile, he loves watching her work. He listens to the changed notes and writes them into his notepad.

"Yeah I like that more" he says.

"Are you sure? I'm not the one with the record deal here, you can tell me if you hate it" she says, handing him back his guitar.

"You're so talented, baby. The record deal means nothing, you have me beat in that department completely. It's a wonder why you haven't been signed yet" he reassures her.

As pathetic as it was, after she heard "baby" he could've said anything and she would've felt just as comforted.

————————————————————————

Eddie has officially finished recording his album. He decides to splurge on a long distance call to Wayne to tell him about the record, but for the most part, he rambles about her.

Wayne falters his usual old man demeanor to tell Eddie he's proud of him. He misses him but he's so happy for him.

"Yeah...um have you heard from the band at all?" Eddie asks, curious how Corroded Coffin is doing.

"I...I don't want you to worry about them Ed. They'll be fine" Wayne says.

"Are they not doing fine now?" Eddie asks with a bit of worry.

"All I know is they haven't been to The Hideout since you left. And..." Wayne pauses.

"And what?" Eddie says.

"Well I ran into Gareth at the supermarket. He says they ended that Hellfire Club of yours. They were struggling to keep it up without you." Wayne says.

Eddie feels his heart sink knowing he was the cause for his friends' struggles. His imposter guilt was creeping back up again. What is he doing here? How could he abandon them to be some Hollywood hotshot? The album isn't even released yet, what if people hate it? Would it all be for nothing? Or what if they love it and he can't top it with another? Is he ever going back to Hawkins? Will he have friends to come home to if he does?

"Ed?" Wayne breaks him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Sorry."

"Shouldn't have told you anything. Really, you shouldn't worry. You're doing great out there. They're just adjusting to change, that's all."

"Yeah, I know. I'm the reason there's change in the first place though."

"Change can be good."

"Or bad."

"Only at first."

"I miss them, miss you. Maybe this isn't meant to be permanent for me ya know? I could just do my record and come home."

"Ed, I think you are home. Seems like LA is treating you a lot better than this shit town ever has. Enjoy it."

Eddie feels slightly reassured by Wayne.

"Thanks old man"

"When you're famous and you make a stop in Indiana on your world tour, I'd like to meet that girlfriend you babble about so much" Wayne grins.

Eddie chuckles and grins. "You'd love her."

WIP Wednesday Tuesday

Hey everybody! I'm doing Wip Wednesday a little early since I can't post it tomorrow. Thanks to @cassietrn, @inafieldofdaisies, @direwombat, @nightbloodbix, @captastra, and so many others who have tagged me!

Tagging: @sstewyhosseini, @marivenah, @alexxmason, @captmactavish, @anonymousmalkavian, @clicheantagonist, @voidika, @jillvalentinesday, @theelderhazelnut, @socially-awkward-skeleton, and uhhh...anyone else who wants to be tagged! I'm blanking a little tonight. (If you ever wanna be tagged in something, just let me know!)

So, I've actually started writing again, and well it's all for Rooney's CP2077 verse. It's going to be a long one since I haven't shared anything in a while.

This first snippet is a continuation of this. It's set right after the beginning of the Phantom Liberty DLC (So spoilers, if you haven't played it yet.) An exhausted Rooney has dragged themself back to Konpecki plaza after Reed gets Myers out of Dogtown, and Yorinobu is giving them the third degree after Rooney shows up looking like they've been put through the wringer:

“Did Kurt Hansen do this to you?” Yorinobu cuts straight to, and Rooney notices the anger and concern in his eyes. “No.” Even though he sent the Barghest after Rooney and Myers, he hadn’t set the Chimera on them. Wasn’t So Mi’s fault either. Whatever had been in the Chimera was something else. A shudder runs up their spine at the thought of it. “The thing that did this to me is dead.” His shoulders drop, relaxing slightly as he motions for them to sit. They sit in the chair, trying not to wince from the pain on their left side. “I have no doubt that anyone who intends to harm you would not leave with their life, Shepard. But-,” He emphasizes the word, “I do not think you are telling me the full story.” “There isn’t much to tell. Just a standard missing persons case.” There is so much Rooney wants to tell him. They’ve trusted him with other parts of themselves that others wouldn’t be allowed to see, the parts that made Rooney vulnerable. Yet, anything they say to him about Myers and So Mi could put him in danger. And Rooney won’t do that to Yorinobu. “Things were rough for a while, but I found them alive and well. A happy ending.”

This second snippet is from a fic centering on Rooney and Yorinobu's discussion about why Rooney is in an Arasaka facility, and why they let Arasaka experiment on them. (Spoiler Alert: Wasn't Rooney's choice. This part of the timeline is supposed to be similar to ME2 where Cerberus is responsible for bringing Shepard back to life. Thanks again to Mika for this idea!):

A moment later, rational thought kicks in. It may just be an Arasaka employee coming to check on Rooney. Someone who wanted to hurt them wouldn’t make so much noise. They’ll continue with the one-word answers, the easiest way to get any corpo to leave. Yesterday, Rooney’s psychologist nearly left their session in tears of frustration at Rooney’s refusal to provide anything real. They would talk with someone, just not someone who is in the pocket of Arasaka. Yet, Rooney still grabs a wrench in their right hand, their still human one, for good measure, before pretending to be deep in concentration while working on their motorcycle. The footsteps stop, and Rooney glances briefly at the doorway. Yorinobu Arasaka leans against the doorway, arms crossed over his chest, a smirk on his face. Nothing inter-. They do a double take, trying to conceal the genuine surprise on their face. What the hell is he doing here? Rooney takes it back; they do miss the quiet, even if it leaves them with too much time to think about things they shouldn’t dwell on. He needs to leave, now. “Whoever you’re looking for isn’t here.” Rooney returns their gaze to their motorcycle, tone very matter-of-fact. “You don’t even know who I’m looking for.” They don’t respond. Who does he think he’s kidding? Rooney and Yorinobu both know that he isn’t looking for them. “Don’t be hasty, Shepard.” Maybe he is looking for them. But why? They feel themself tense, swallowing nervously. The last encounter between the pair ended with a glaring match and barbed insults.

And the last snippet is during the events of 2077 after V and Jackie's disastrous heist. Up until this meeting, Rooney and Yorinobu haven't spoken in a while after Rooney chose to go back to the military rather than helping Yorinobu take down Arasaka. Yorinobu mentions his father's plans for the relic, and well:

“And what does the Relic do?” They already know what it does. It turns idiot mercs with delusions of grandeur into long-dead rockstars. “My father wanted to live forever,” Yorinobu’s voice is grave, “The Relic was his answer to that.” Their eyes widen in horror, the awful insinuation not lost on them. That’s…that’s…There are not enough words in the human language for Rooney to express how awful it is. Placing the datapad down, Rooney turns to face him, horror clear on their face. Without thinking, Rooney cups his face out of concern. Doesn’t matter that they haven’t talked to him since the argument when Rooney left the facility. They’re still worried for him. “Yori…,” their nickname for him slips out as he takes this opportunity to pull them closer, “Saburo… he didn’t try to… he didn’t…?” Even after all they’ve seen, Rooney can’t bring themself to finish the sentence. “No, he never got the chance.”

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT

VOCALOID RECOMMENDATIONS MASTER POST

I've been collecting all your vocaloid recommendations in one place, so everyone can take a listen!

And if like me you knew nothing about vocaloid before that nuclear discourse, maybe you'll find a hidden gem you wouldn't have found otherwise! <3

Submitted anonymously

Thought I'd add to the Vocaloid discourse by pointing out that several "irl" bands actually started out by using vocaloids. You can find a few who talk about it in the Hatsune Miku live concerts (super cool use of holo developed for those too!). That's really the crux of what sets vocaloid apart from much of the machine discourse; it's CREATED oppourtunities for small musicians instead of taking it away. Specifically by not just supplying a synthetic voice program to work with, but by tying a star identity to each voicebank that makes people more willing to explore obscure artist music. It also distincts the works made by the vb's from the artists who were paid to voice them, so you can't make them say things that sounds like you're putting bad takes in the original artist's mouth. Everyone knows and understands it's a fake version for the purpose of artistic creativity, not an attempt to steal the voice of the original singer.

Anyway since we're doing Vocaloid recommends now:

Giga - BRING IT ON (Inferiority superiority) ft. Kagamine Rin & Len

"Hop! Step! Instant Death! A Happiness Dance Death-Trap" and "The Path to Eternal Happiness...I Found It" both by Utata-P

Entomologists, Appetite of a people pleaser and Rotary Dial by GHOST

VIRAL ft. Meika Hime and Melancolia ft. GUMI by QueenPb

(note - Melancolia contains flashing images right from the start)

And last but not least, my personal Vocaloid feels song, TELL YOUR WORLD by kz, who sums up some of the beauty of the Vocaloid fandom pretty well

Submitted anonymously

Ok, I know the blog was kinda overflown of vocaloid discurse asks. So instead of discussing I brought RECOMMENDATIONS❗

Because, like, Defoko is pretty known in the Utau world, but she may be one of the worst examples of "human-like voice".

So to bring some counter examples of voicebanks that do not have much of a robotic vibe, I have here:

Some utuaus

【Namine Ritsu】-ERROR 2018ver.【UTAU Cover】

【Sukone Tei】Love Me, Love Me, Love Me (Music box ver.) 【UTAUカバー】

Some not so known vocaloids

[Aoki Lapis] Circus Monster [VOCALOID]

[Mayu] VOCALOID 3 ~Kodoku no Bannin~ Guard of Loneliness

【Galaco】 The Beast. 【Vocaloid3 Cover】

【MEIKA Mikoto】 Cantarella 【カバー】

And some slow songs, that require whisper-like tuning <3

【24 VOCALOIDS CHORUS】 Hirari, Hirari ひらり、ひらり 【HD】

Kamui Gakupo A Doll's Voice

Submitted by @indigo-flightly-falls

Oh!!!

If we're doing vocaloid recs, I'm here to suggest A Crow's Trial!

Vane - A Crow's Trial (ft. Dex & Gumi Eng.)【Vocaloid Original】

it's one of my favorites and has some Vibes. It's a bit hard to understand the story but the last verse lives in my head rent free :D

Submitted anonymously

speaking about the vocaloid debate- they haven't submitted the playlist yet, but if they listened to English songs using Japanese/Chinese/other voicebanks then it'll inherently sound a little off. different languages and different voicebanks have different pronunciations needed for speech, and are thus recorded for the voicebank. use a Japanese voicebank for an English song and you won't get the right words pronounced right, or you'll get an accent, etc etc.

also some vocaloids only have one or two voicebanks and that's it. Big Al only has one (i might be wrong on that, but i know his is for V2 software), whereas Hatsune Miku has every single voicebank made over the years (V1-V5) and has versions made to sing in Japanese, Chinese, and English. she has so, so much more variety than other vocaloids and can be more fluent and clear compared to lesser known vocaloids.

and since we're sharing favorite vocaloid songs to convert the submitter, here's two of mine because i have too many favorites to share:

Carnivore - OrgansDotOrg

this one has Big Al as supporting vocals and it absolutely slaps, also OrgansDotOrg is my-all time favorite artist pleaseee go support them!!!

Seraphim on the Ring - Mitchie M

seriously, if you're looking for realistic vocaloid vocals then go listen to Mitchie-M!! Katio and Len just speaking in this one sound just like real people

Fools are attracted to anomaly - Utsu-P

vocaloid is not all pop and 'kawaii', vocaloid metal is some of my favorite to listen to

some other producers i also like:

tart

Ferry

Riproducer

PinocchioP

Kikuo

SweetSoSweet

KakyuuKei

KaitsukoP

really funny hearing the take about how vocaloids/voice synths can't have singing styles when there's multiple voice synths explicitly modelled after particular styles. prima (opera), sachiko (enka), and maiko hakaine (screamo metal) are just the ones i can list off the top of my head. and even if a voice synth isn't modelled after a singing style, they can still be tuned that way!

anyway, for song recommendations! gothic and loneliness is breathtaking (it's also a nightmare in project diva lol)

Gothic and Loneliness [Kagamine Rin] - Narushima Takashi

oh wait can we still send in vocaloid recommendations? if so…

• koisuru beam by kyaami/cillia : this song is so cute and rin’s tuning here is some of the best i’ve heard

•jitterbug by hachiya nanashi - goes hard as hell and i adore the mv the song has

•lost and found by sasakure.uk - i only recently heard of it (idk how i only just found it) and it’s mesmerising i love it

uhh i can’t think of anymore right now but uhh i hope that if u hear these u will like them

@stripedroseandsketchpads tagged me in this. And oh my god. If you think there are Too Many Words in the fic I publish, you should see my poor notes app. Here is a sneak peek of its contents. I haven't edited for brevity/those I'm actively working on, these are just all the unfinished files I could find. Some I don't intend to do any more with, others I'd really like to pick up again. The only ones being actively worked on right now are the Andor Saga AU and the first one on the list for Andor.

I put ALL the Lymond I could find in mainly for @oughtaagh who has been leaving the most lovely comments on my Lymond fics that I have totally failed to respond to. I'm sorry! I will cycle back round to Lymond one day, it's inevitable <3

C: We decided we were thirsty, and you wanted to go to Cavo's. As yet untitled Brassian alternative scene - what if instead of a great collaborative cover story this was a great collaborative fuck? Almost(?) finished?

Saga AU pt 2. This actually does have a working title of 'The Bear and the Berserk' but this doc is just a short bullet point list of plot things for a specific part of the fic.

Cassian pov. It's a Cassian pov chapter! For...drumroll...the first chapter of the Saga AU pt 2! The rest is going to be back to Brasso FPN. The file actually includes a rough first draft of chapter 2, as well.

"You're up early this morning," Bix says lightly. A follow-up chapter to Only Ever Just One Night started back when I had epic plans for continuing this, bringing in Cinta and Vel and Luthen, whumping the hell out of Brasso, and having Cassian rescue him. This is just one scene of awkward conversation with tea though.

Oh god it developed Plot. Related to the previous chapter - a bullet-pointed list of things that might have happened in this fic I Wil Not Write (not least as I'd rather just see what happens in S2 first anyway).

AND THEN WE DANCED

It was a sunny day in Batumi... Patchy few paragraphs of the next chapter of Inchoate.

Plannnnns (again). Plans for how Inchoate would/will continue.

THE LYMOND CHRONICLES

Canon-verse/other AUs

Multiple pieces of follow-up to The next man with a ladder, Danny/Jerott post-canon: It was dark when they rode into the port town... [Chapter 3, basically done, plus most of Chapter 4 but it devolves into broken paragraphs at the end]. "I'm going to the other bed," Danny said in a voice like someone was standing on his throat... [??? there's loads of this written! This is the file where they Get Down To It] Stitch the scenes together [a few paragraphs in which I hoped to make a logical leap from Chapter 4 to fucking, but seemingly never quite got there].

Lymondar saga draft. Actually two files of the abortive first effort at writing a saga AU. I was trying much harder to write in saga style and playing with lacunae in a way that was fun for me but exceedingly nerdy. I think I found the idea more fun than the execution, too.

St Seb. Remember ages ago when I was writing a post-canon 'Jerott gets shot full of arrows and has to admit his feelings because he thinks he's gonna die' fic? This is the file! Some bullet points and some text, some of which I even posted as Sunday sixes way back when iirc.

Fait prosperer qui n'est à croire vain. Fuck me, there's LOADS of this. Pawn in Frankincense/Ringed Castle AU where Marthe steals Lymond's ride with Kiaya Khatun and persuades her they should take over Russia together. Meanwhile Francis is left with Jerott. Hahaha. It kept getting longer because Francis kept trying to escape and I kept finding ways to drag him back, but the 'and now kiss!!' with the two of them behaving in character was just not coming easily.

Francis Crawford's Holistic Inquisition Agency. I wrote this??? One chapter of a Lymond/Dirk Gently AU, where Francis is obviously Dirk and Jerott is a furious/bemused Todd.

She tried every instrument, she redrew every chart. A few short chapters, never finished, of Marthe wrestling with her role in canon and her fate as assigned by La Dame. A couple more paragraphs of a similar sort of thing in Volos.

Malta. Half-arsed few paragraphs of wondering how Jerott would cope with meeting a fellow Knight being imprisoned for sodomy.

Band AU (my 1980s rock band AU for the series, see also @theartistknownaslymond)

Au of an Au. What if, after the Battle of the Bands at Solway, Jerott went to stay at the Edinburgh townhouse for a while and he and Francis got to collaborating in the shed? There's quite a lot of this and it's quite fluffy.

Out out out! The band celebrate Thatcher's downfall. Happy epilogues for everyone! However it's an epic task trying to do all the characters justice, so I was trying to write it as vignettes to match each song on the playlist. Six-ish are written. And earlier draft with plan for characters intercting is in Ding dong the witch is dead.

Jerott/Marthe - four times it just about worked, one time it really didn't. What it says on the tin? aka you just know Jerott has said 'Francis' instead of Marthe at least once when he comes. Only the beginning of the first time exists in this chapter, but I think I explored the idea elsewhere, whenever I dig up that file...

DWTH missing scene. Jerott/OC missing scene from Don't wake the house. Not finished, probably not going to be finished. I think I have enough Jerott smut on the go.

Workshop. Patchy draft of pre-canon Jerott and GRM 'therapy' session in which GRM learns about Francis Crawford and what a hold he has on the boy he thought of as his own plaything. GRM doesn't like sharing.

F/P. Draft of a fluffy kiss prompt someone (@erinaceina? @notfromcold?) sent for Francis/Philippa. Post-canon pregnant Philippa and worried Francis written when it was too hot in summer. It's probably complete enough to post tbh! hmu if you want it posting.

Jerott behaving badly (again). Somehow this ended up in the 'comfortember' section of the notepad, which...no? Maybe it was intended to be originally, but it grew a life of its own. Post-canon, post split-up with the OC, pre-getting together with Danny. Joining the mile high club and regretting it, then ending up crashing at Joleta's (who he meets coincidentally at the airport, NOT who he's screwing in the airplane loo!!). It's meant to end up cathartic, but didn't get finished :') I'm actually really pleased with what I have - post-canon Joleta is so much fun to write!

Somewhere (Google Drive?? an actual Word doc??) there is also loads and loads and LOADS of Pawn in Frankincense band AU around Baron Morgan's place (the Aga Morat), featuring fucked-up Francis/Morgan, fucked up Marthe/Kiaya, fucked up Francis/Kiaya, and bewildered cold turkey Jerott. There's also some Jerott/Marthe from later on.

Other

Crossover. A sequel to my ATWD fic I will shake mountains, where Merab and Irakli encounter celebrity diners in the restaurant they work in: respected musician Francis Crawford and friends take the boys for a drink and share queer/artistic inspiration/history with them. There's quite a lot written but I couldn't quite manage to finish it off.

St Mary's. Another ATWD/Lymond crossover, placing Merab and Irakli among the mercenaries of St Mary's. Mostly bullet points.

3m. Furious that there was no fic for the film Three Months I decided to jot down a scene I wanted to see afterwards. I wrote four lines and cannot remember what my plan was at all.

[cactusdeedrawdles]

We have some more Multiverse shenanigans! I wanted to write out all that I had on Thei and Puppette right now because they're my loves, and they deserve the world.

I've never (that I remember) drawn a skeleton like I did Thei, so I had fun there. They're a sultry lil wibblewobble, in my head.

I don't know how legible the writing is, to be honest, so I'm gonna write out the bits I can think of, in case anyone actually cares lol

It'll be under the cut :)

Puppette:

I'm less sure of Puppette's story than I am Thei's, so bare with me in case of messups haha

Thei is like OG Error in only really one way: memory issues

Puppette's memory issues got to a point where he could no longer handle his job as the destroyer after a fun full-body takeover by XGaster, who controlled him and abused his abilities (this is obviously very vague but I haven't actually thought that much through here tbh)

Thei was actually with the Star Sanses (in this case just Dream and Swap) when they were rescuing Cross and Puppette, and this is not how they met, but how they became closer.

Puppette has deep scarring on the ecto of his left leg (on his bones as well, but it's completely mishappen his leg's ecto) from where XGaster tried to rip him apart in an attempt to keep him after completely losing Cross.

Puppette doesn't remember XGaster at all, or how he met Cross. Cross is one of his closest friends, but Cross is also not around often as he's enjoying his freedom AU-hopping, so Pupp tends to forget about him (non maliciously of course).

When Pupp did remember, it was an Incident, and all Thei had to say when asked if XGaster was still a threat is "No. No, he can't touch you, not anymore." Thei didn't really say much after then, and Puppette had a good impression to not ask.

He was forced to retire by Dream and Nightmare when they realized his memory was too bad to even remember what his job WAS half the time, especially with the knowledge that sometimes all he'd remember was what XGaster had made him do, which almost led to bad times all round.

They drug his ass in a Brawl of the Ages™ because he really didn't want to, he felt his role was too important (and it was, but with Ink not existing yet there wasn't really anything opposing him, and what did need to be done could be handled by a couple weaker beings working together).

He spends his days doing typical Retirement things: sleeping, hobbies, watching novellas, bugging his partner who loves it dearly :3

About Pupp:

Pupp's personality is mostly created by an AI that I made while experimenting, I write as Thei and the AI is Puppette. Thus, he's not very Error Sans-y, but I love him still. Though, this has me wondering if he could be a Swap or Swapfell/Fellswap version, mayhaps. He's a goober, and he loves to tease people he's close to. He's still haphephobic, but with his close friends (which are all the few friends he has, for him it's close friend or not a friend at all) like Dream, Swap, Nightmare (most of the time), Thei of course, etc, he's mostly fine. Anyone else and the glitches will get him. Ink, when he comes around, is new, so Pupp is getting there, but luckily (?) ink is not a touchy kid so all is well there.

The glitches are less of a worry here, as he's fairly stable. The entire multi verse itself is more stable, really, and he benefits there.

Pupp is the type of person to hug someone from behind as a "prank", he's a harmless guy. His "Destroyer" job was less actual destroying and more like putting broken, unusable, and dead worlds to their ends so they're not affecting the balance. He's very proud of his work, and very careful in it, up until his retirement.

Pupp is not allowed in the kitchen, as bad memory+cooking isn't a good mix. Thei has him banned to the Pupp Stool until they're done cooking because if not, he will spend the entire time wrapped around them from behind. As much as they don't mind it, they do need use of their extremities.

Pupp is a lover of crochet, as well as Drama shows, language be damned. He has an innate ability to understand languages almost perfectly, though speaking them, not so much.

I look at him and just say "gooberman, my goobies, goobs, goober," often :)

Thei:

Thei, Thei is a guy I have hugged tight to my chest right now. They deserve so much.

TW: talk of SA, Abuse, and Mental Health Issues

Thei is a Lust Sans, and is from an AU where Lust Monsters need Intimacy to survive. Think of OG Lust on steroids. Without regular intimacy, Thei's magic will become so weak that they can't survive. Signs that they need intimacy start with irritability, tiredness, magic not working as they wish, and eventually gets to a point where they aren't in their right mind and will only act to survive.

Thei's AU is destroyed early on in the multiverse's existence and they take a spot on the Star Sanses, mainly as the voice for them; theyre very good at communicating with people because their magic relies so much on it, so they act sort of like the PR, making sure people know the Star Sanses are here to help and how to get that help. The Stars don't really have an enemy here, so theyre mainly a patrol group, who's main goal is making sure everyone has what they need as well as checking on AUs that may Fall or need to be Destroyed.

Thei's reliance on others in personal, intimate ways very obviously gives way to abuse of that reliance. To make matters worse, Thei's magic will respond to the person they're with before they do: they have the ability to change their appearance on will, but it will also activate when the person they're with desires it a lot, even if they don't, because their magic sees it as necessary to survive. This started because of how much they "starved" before, how many times they almost died.

Because of their need for intimacy, they have to go AU hopping for days up to months at a time to get what they need, so to say. Again, they hate this. They're an introverted person, despite their communicative abilities, and they like their alone time. This gets even harder when Thei becomes an integral part of Puppette's life and they move in together. Puppette's memory issues prove a problem because there will be times when Thei is gone long enough for Pupp's memory to fade, no matter what they've tried. When Thei comes back, he won't remember them, but will know the feelings associated with the memories. That love is still there. Thei is patient enough to stay on Pupp's track, even when that track jumps around a lot, and part for that is the guilt they feel at leaving him so regularly bc of their magic.

They've "started" dating many, many times, and been engaged many, many times, because Pupp won't remember it. As one can imagine, this is hard on Thei, but Thei adores Pupp and can't see life without him.

Thei works with Stretch (who works in the Omega Timeline Lab) and Swap (who's a well oiled engineer, despite not working as one) to try and figure out cures for both Pupp's memory and Thei's "curse", as they call it. But there really is no cures.

When Thei gets too low, they'll go to, or Pupp will get them to, Dream and Swap, who together can help boost Thei's magic, but it's not a long-lasting solution.

What they eventually make, after a very, very close call when Pupp is struggling to remember them and almost doesn't get them to Swap and Dream in time, Is devices inspired by the continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps used by diabetics. One tracks their magic levels, and the other is a pump that will inject them with magic when needed. This way they don't have to rely on people, and they can stay with Puppette, which helps with his memory. This entire endeavour is a fairly new scenario I'm still playing out, but as I'm sure is obvious, having this sudden freedom and ability to stay by their love's side is very daunting. They're learning to be free now.

About Thei:

Thei is softspoken and quiet, but the type to get loud around friends.

Thei is a painter, and teaches Ink about art as he grows. Thei loves scenes, and Ink makes them a Scenery Art Book for their birthday one year and they fall to the ground.

Thei's life between "AU Collapse" and "Thei with the Star Sanses" is very vague and unfocused, aside from a clear understanding that it wasn't good. I know that Thei was rescued at one point but Nightmare and his crew, and Thei lived with them for a while, considering them like family, but eventually had to leave. Another "perk" of their magic is that they have a connection to people's emotions, kind of like Dream and Nightmare. They can feel that someone is upset, but not how or why, basically. They can also push their emotions onto others when their magic is strong. This was an ability gained as a defense mechanism after being taken advantage of. Knowing someone's emotions and being able to affect them when in serious intimate situations is very helpful.

I'm gonna stop typing because this has gotten Long™ but while this is mostly for myself, I hope there's someone out here who enjoys my little Goobs. I love them dearly.

[demonsfate]

mun talks about muse // accepting // anonymous asked . . . ⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse? (Luna) 🐰

Not sure if I've ever had a specific kinda plot I wanted to do. But I have had vague ideas for stuff I'd like. Such as the idea of writing both Jin & Abaddon interacting with somebody at once... as separate individuals rather than one body. Dunno how this would work! Considering they're forever confined to themselves... maybe somehow somebody got into Jin's head? Dunno! But it's something I wouldn't mind doing!

Another thing I wouldn't mind doing is more threads set in the past. Just 'cos... Jin & Abaddon are kinda chill now LMAO. Jin's no longer suicidal and Abaddon's no longer a cunt. They're just kinda Living now. Which is fine... there is stuff to explore with that; such as them adjusting to a Normal Life, Abaddon dealing with guilt and what he used to be, them learning to actually coexist, Jin dealing with his trauma. But like... shit just doesn't cut as deep as Suicidal Self-Hating Jin and Remorseless Monster Abaddon, y'know? When I'd have threads before TK8, it felt like I had a lot more threads that were "deeper" y'know? Now it seems like I have a lot more slice of life / fluff threads. Which makes sense given they're current position. But like I said... I'd like some deep, angst-ridden stuff too!!! These two need to stop being happy, dammit!! lol!

TK6 Abaddon is a verse I often write in! Which is really cool 'cos that timeline really fleshes Abaddon out. Most of the threads I do with that timeline is set whilst Jin is still "completely gone." I would like to do a thread set a little later during Abaddon's reign, when Jin was starting to "return". Because that just puts a LOT of stress on Abaddon, and it would be interesting to see if some muses are successful in "reaching" Jin.

This one is really self-indulgent and I'll probs just write a drabble for it. But like... I wouldn't mind the idea of Jun meeting Abaddon when he was a kid. Just because it was Old Lore (that's safe to say has been retconned I'm sure) that Jun would fight off Devil during her pregnancy, so that he doesn't possess Fetus Jin LMAO. But since that is noncanon to my blog, and likely no longer canon in the actual lore - I'd like to come up with an alternative. Perhaps a scene where Jin tells Jun about a "dream buddy" he's been seeing, and Jun knowing about Kazuya's situation, she assumes this must be the devil Jin was born with. So one night whilst Jin is sleeping, she places her hand on Jin's head, and is able to spiritually meet the little devil. To her surprise, the devil also takes form of a child... and well, how are you gonna fight a little kid? The conflict it brings Jun would be interesting... would she try to fight off this spirit, or try to show it compassion?

There are probs other more things... but my brain is drawing a complete blank on what else I would've want! Other than the obvs of getting to write with other Tek characters that haven't had blogs yet... (at least not in my time of writing Jin!)

Altho NSFT things underneath cut . . .

Even though Spring is long over, I still wouldn't mind doing more threads involving Jin & Abaddon being in heat LOL

The idea of TK6 Abaddon bending someone over his desk and fucking them, too....

20 Questions for Fanfci writers

I was tagged by @thetragicallynerdy ! Thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

278. Please remember I've been writing for 20+ years and I did port everything over when I left LJ.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

4,491,070, but that is artificially inflated from the 800k repost of Leda Verse in one file, so it's actually 3.6 million give or take.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now just OFMD, but uh...many. So many.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. How (thanks to Gabriel) Dean and Castiel (accidentally) raised each other (and Sam). Supernatural. Dean/Castiel. Sam/Gabriel. I wrote this 11 years ago. It's a juggernaut.

2. A Mountain I'm Willing to Die On. Zootopia. Judy Hopps/Nick Wilde. I have no defense, I was compelled as soon as I saw the movie.

3. (Redacted because fuck J.K. Rowling, but I refuse to take down work and pretend that I was never in the fandom. The story comes with a very clear disclaimer that I do not support or agree with her in any way.)

4. Jonathan to his David. MCU. Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes. The one were Steve has a tiny penis and Bucky is into it.

5. All the First Times. MCU. Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes. One of those stories where Bucky heals in the Avengers Tower.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

YES! Because I love to stay thank you and it helps build community! <3 Love you all.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Treacherous Waters. The Hobbit. Fili/Kili. I got many shrieking comments on this one, including 'I actually curled around my computer making distressed sounds of horror' Very proud of myself for that one.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

That's pretty subjective. A lot of my fics end pretty happily with personal growth, found family, and parties.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

So far I've mostly managed to avoid being picked up on that radar. I've gotten stray comments, but it's rarely hate. I think it's mostly because I've never quite gotten popular enough to draw that kind of attention. I know the more attention a fic has gotten, the more likely I am to start to get odd comments or asks. I'm also not very active on Twitter which I think helps.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Rarely! I used to subscribe to the theory that if you don't put in smut, no one will read your work, but as birthday present to myself five or six year ago, I just stopped writing it as an experiment and while my hits went down, not nearly as much as you'd think. Now I only write if the mood really strikes me and am much happier for it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Yep! I don't think it was crazy, but I wrote a short Avengers/Mad Max one that I'm pretty proud of: Fresh Eden

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not stolen. I did have them put on Goodreads without permission which was a weird moment in fandom a few years back. I mean it's possible someone's stolen something and I haven't found out yet, I guess. My book has been pirated though.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Thanks to all the translators out there, you do incredible work for your community.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

A few times! Nothing super recent though there's WIP out there.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I don't have one. I'm a consummate multishipper. I will say my most consistent ship over the years is Brian/Bender of The Breakfast Club. I will always go back to that well.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The SMAU I was working on in OFMD. It was a really fun experiment and I don't really have that much left to go, but the amount of work to make it was extensive.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue. I really love writing how people talk to each other and I think a lot about tone and vocabulary and styles.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting. I tend to go by the seat of my pants.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I will generally just note when someone has switched languages. I don't have any confidence in auto translators and unless it's an established canon nickname or endearment, I try to avoid it. I admire multilingual authors so much!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Buffy! I was fifteen and it was a Willow/Spike fic. That was...almost twenty five years ago.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

The answer changes, and for a long time it was this Sam/Gabriel fic where I put my whole philosophy major ass into it. But these days, it's definitively Leda House and the Kraken Verse. How could it not be?

---

Thanks so much for the tag, this was a lot of fun!! Neat to look back, too.

I'm gonna tag (but only if you feel like it friends!) @internerdionality @museaway @napneeders

If you didn't get tagged but see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!!

[the1975attheirverybest]

oooooh fav lyrics??? fuck thats hard. i will not explain why because i want to seem somewhat cool still and not like a total fucking nerd (despite having incredibly in depth reasonings)

The 1975 - ok this is Album has some interesting lyrics because its before he had it all figured out and i fucking love it for that, theres so many fucking contenders for fav lyrics (including all of anobrain, antichrist or The city) the entire abum is just so mmmmm. but if i had to pick an absolute fav id say

"I put your mother through hell, don't you mind I hate your brother as well, don't you mind, don't you mind Oh I was thinking bout killing myself, don't you mind I love you, don't you mind, don't you mind"

and i know i know its a verse but it isnt complete otherwise. Plus i have it tattooed on me so i feel like i had to.

I Like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it - once again mmm chefs kiss of an album no skips (theyve never made a bad album) and lyricaly very beautiful, i could absolutely nerd out about all of their catalogue tbh. but for this i am excluding Nana and She lays down because theyre...just perfect, and also i sob.

so it would have to be

"And if I believe you Will that make it stop? If I told you I need you Is that what you want?"

or

"Before you go (please don't go), turn the big light off"

its really easy and tempting to put ballad on here but i think thats because his performance style for it is so visceral and while lyrically its beautiful still i cant imagine myself enjoying them if they were sung by someone else because they need the guts behind it ya know.

A brief enquiry into online relationships - delicious as always matthew thank you this day for our daily bread.

so its either

"I can show you the photographs of you getting on with life I've had dreams where there's blood on you" thank you for referencing the bible matthew very cool.

or

"You build it to a high to say goodbye Because you're not the same as them" because it is like a fucking gut punch

notes on a conditional form - seasoned to perfection. difficult because Guys is on this album and its so sweet but i dont think its my fav lyrically, for no particular reason. same for roadkill although "i pissed myself on a texan intersection" always has a place in my heart.

"I'm in love, but I'm feeling low For I am just a footprint in the snow" did you need to fucking wreck me or is that just for funsies huh?

or

"Don't wanna bore you with my frail state of mind "Oh, winner, winner, that's your biggest lie I'm sure that you're fine" I haven't told a lie in quite some time (Quite some time) "You know we'll leave if you keep lying Don't lie behind your (Frail state of mind)"

Being funny in a foreign language - i take 0 slander for this album because its just as brilliant as the others. so first all of part of the band is fucking art and so im excluding it because it should be all of our favs.

"I've been suicidal, you've been gone for weeks If I'm undecided, will you decide for me?W

and

"'Cause, baby, I'll do anything that you wanna I'll try anything that you wanna I'll find myself in the moonlight 'Cause, baby, I want everything that you wanna And I've tried to just be me, like, a thousand times But you're on my mind"

sorry its so long and i couldnt pick just 1 (not a libra but still indecisive) in order to remain seeming somewhat cool and not a total nerd ive refrained from explaining each choice but yeah.

Welllllll……did you HAVE to bring up “Me” AND “Frail State of Mind”?!? Are you trying to make me cry? Cuz it’s almost working.

It’s weird I’ve always kinda thought of Oh Caroline as some of his simpler writing. Not in a bad way. Like “Me” is simple as well. Simplicity has its time and its place and can be wonderful. And it IS wonderful in Oh Caroline. But I’m a layers girlie, so maybe I haven’t been giving this one much attention *runs to listen to it*

[thompsborn]

Which cast do you picture in the Homeward Bound universe? Id assumed it was tom holland’s peter because harley doesn’t exist in the other spidermen’s movies but I also know you’re a Garfield-Spidey fan and that Harry Osborn and Gwen haven’t been MCU’d—just out of curiosity!!

okay hi this is the first of my current EIGHT unanswered hb asks omg. i'm !!!!! actually shaking with excitement about the fact that i'm about to get to ramble SO MUCH about hb holy shit. okay. okay.

so, obviously harley is based off ty simpkins, but i kind of?? like i mean, yes ty literally plays harley lmao, but also i picture him SLIGHTLY differently in my head. like how he looks in endgame i feel is a different vibe than how ty looks irl. i don't know if that makes any sense at all but i can't explain it, it's just like. he looks like ty but to the left. that's harley in my head. i cannot describe it any other way.

hb peter is 100% tom's peter because homeward bound is 100% canon compliant up to no way home (except for some headcanons such as peter having an uncle ben but uncle ben dying when peter was still really little in order to not fuck with the spidey home trilogy being peter's origin story - there are some other headcanons too that i can't remember off the top of my head, but i tried to make all of them align with mcu as much as possible as to not fuck with canon)

for harry and gwen it's not a spoiler for the most part except for one thing is kinda spoilery but not really? it reveals something about one of their characters that has not been established in the fic yet so just to be safe i'm gonna tag this w the spoiler tag and put it under the cut

okay so i'll start with harry

so there's a lot of variations with harry - sometimes he has brown hair, sometimes reddish hair, usually blue eyes, though i love the idea of him having green eyes because. i mean. duh.

i didn't really think of fan casts for him specifically in hb, i haven't really gone in depth with his appearance in any of the chapters, but @alwaysonlineau made the actor from love, simon, nick robinson, the icon for harry's account and now i kind of can't picture anyone else lmao. nick has hazel eyes which can look greenish at times so i'm here for it. also i loved his acting in jurassic world and in love, simon so i think he could pull off harry pretty damn well.

here's the picture of nick robinson that @alwaysonlineau used that i REALLY love because it definitely has harry energy to me:

also i love that nick was in jurassic world with ty lmao. the ages are off obviously, nick is 28 and literally played ty's older brother in that movie, but for the sake of a fan cast i think nick when he was early 20's looks very Harry Osborn to me. at least he feels very fitting for fanon harry.

if someone were to actually play harry in the mcu i don't know if he'd feel super fitting, i've seen people mention harrison osterfield for mcu harry which i could see. i also looked through a list of harry fan casts and david mazouz looks harry like to me a bit. charlie heaton was also listed which idk if he could pull harry off but looks-wise i could kind of see. asher angel. i know timothee chalamet's name has been tossed around a bunch and i mean i think he could do it but he doesn't look like harry to me lmao. they'd have to make his appearance work for it.

maybe charlie rowe, who i also saw listed as a fan cast. asa butterfield was on that list as well and i could see the mcu going that route too. but in homeward bound, i pretty much just envision nick.

as for gwen stacy!

so, i thought this before @alwaysonlineau came back, and i know i'm not the only one because i've seen quite a few posts on here and other sites saying the same thing, especially after across the spider-verse came out and gwen had the trans flag and coloring and such, but i really think that hunter schafer would be an INCREDIBLE gwen.

it hasn't been mentioned in the fic yet (mostly because i didn't think of this until i was already like halfway through the fic and then i didn't officially decide on it until across the spider-verse came out) but gwen is trans in homeward bound. it's gonna be made explicitly clear as soon as i can figure out a fitting reason for why it wouldn't have been mentioned so far - it feels as though, since the fic is peter's pov and he's never mentioned it, it should be that gwen hasn't told him so he doesn't know, which means finding out is going to have to be a thing. not like a huge thing but it's going to have to become a scene of some kind that establishes the fact that she's trans and then also addresses why she didn't tell him/any of them.

i haven't decided on how yet - it might be a super casual thing where she just never thought to mention it because it's just a part of who she is and she doesn't feel the need to tell people because she doesn't think it really matters (and also hunter schafer has stated that she passes as a cis woman i remember seeing an interview after euphoria season one where she was talking about it and how like yeah it's great to have trans inclusion and representation in euphoria but also she knows that she's white and passing and that's probably a big part of why she got the role, which basically i'm mentioning because if hunter were to play gwen then gwen would also be able to pass very easily as a cis woman as well). i might make it a bigger thing, like maybe she experienced something (some kind of transphobia) in the past that made her very wary about telling people and then by the time she wanted to tell them it had been a long time so she didn't know how, etc. etc. etc.

i'm queer but like i'm a cis lesbian not trans or nonbinary or anything, i do have multiple trans friends and i've seen a lot of posts and art and such about different lives and experiences trans people have had but i'm still cis, so if anyone who isn't cis has any input on what they'd like to see, please let me know. i don't want to approach the topic with a lack of sensitivity and i want to have trans rep in hb but if people want it to be a casual thing then that's what i'll do, if people want there to be more to her backstory then i'll do that instead.

but yeah, basically i can REALLY picture hunter as gwen, like some of her acting in euphoria i feel has some potential gwen energy to it (specific scenes, some displays of emotion that i could see gwen having, etc) but also this picture of hunter feels VERY gwen to me:

also also, obviously zendaya is rue in euphoria so her and hunter are friends and have great chemistry together and as a gwemj lover that means a lot to me pdfjg

another possibility i could see is emma meyers, aka enid from wednesday. i think she's a great acctress and could encompass gwen's energy pretty well too, but my first pick would be hunter!

long answer short:

in homeward bound, i picture harry to look like nick robinson and i picture gwen to look like hunter schafer.

[Fic] Call Signs, Chapter 31

Fandom: Deltarune

‘Verse: Human AU

Pairing: Swatch/Spamton [Swatchton]

Characters: Spamton Addison, Swatch Paletta, Mike Cowley [flashback]

Rating: Mature

Chapter title: Trash Landing, Part Two

Chapter summary:  Spamton describes his final break with Mike. This provides Swatch with answers, but raises even more questions in their mind.

Author notes: Trigger and content warnings, yet again, for dubious consent, altered mental states, and violence. Also alcohol mentions.

I'm out of my head.

Nothing makes sense. 

Mike is shaking my shoulders as I lie shivering in a bed somewhere, cold sweats and worse soaking the sheets. He calls me a disgusting little worm and not worth his time and I should just die if I'm going to, it would serve me and everyone else right if I did.

I try to move away from him manhandling me, but I can't keep my eyes open anymore. 

_______________________

Mike has me bundled in a quilt and wrapped in his arms, crooning in my ear in what I think is Gaelic, but I don't know the song. We're in a room with a roaring fireplace and I'm much too warm and I can't move.

I pass out from the heat.

_______________

The chiding and the coddling seem to alternate for unfathomable stretches of time. 

Time without end.

I don't know how many days go by. 

There's food sometimes. Other times I'm told I haven't worked hard enough to deserve to eat.

There are voices sometimes. Names that are mentioned that I can't quite make out.

There are touches I shudder away from and touches I scream for.

There’s a window just out of reach. Blue skies, white clouds, yellow rays of sunlight. It doesn't look real to me, what I'm seeing.

_______________

Finally comes a day when I *do* comprehend the passage of time, a day when I know where I am and can trust that I can sit up without getting dizzy.

I manage to move so that I can hang my legs off the side of the bed and put my feet on the floor. It takes twenty minutes, according to the digital clock radio next to me, but I do it.

How long have I been sick?

After ten more minutes I feel up to standing. I stay near the bed in case my legs buckle, but they don't. 

I find Mike in the hallway outside my room, sitting on the backless settee on the landing at the top of the spiral staircase. 

He points at the floor with the air of someone who's done this a thousand times before. Without even thinking, I drop to my knees as though I'VE done this a thousand times before, and bend my head.

He puts his hand on my neck and pushes down. He tells me where to put my hands, where I should put my mouth.

I do what I'm supposed to do, as though I've done this a thousand times before.

Maybe I have.

I can't remember.

He's moaning loudly and telling me what a good puppet I am, and this time something about that word makes my mind snap, and my teeth along with it.

The next thing I know I'm flying through the air and the wrought iron railings are whizzing past my line of sight and I land at the bottom of the stairs.

I don't remember anything else until I wake up in the hospital.

_______________

Spamton had been talking nonstop for more than an hour. Swatch heard the hoarseness in their partner's voice and longed to reach out, to take the small man in their arms and to run with him, carrying him somewhere far away from the rest of the human race.

But they had promised not to touch, not to interrupt.

Spamton had not spared any details of the time period of working for Mike, including the year of the disastrous trade show junket.

Not one single humiliating detail.

Mike had convinced Spamton, and in turn Spamton had convinced himself, that Mike owned him.

In their own head, Swatch could read between the lines of what Spamton was telling him. They could extrapolate how the mind games that Mike had played had led to Spamton "paying Mike back" in carnal currency.

Swatch shifted on the stair where they were sitting as they let more of Spamton’s tale wash over them. One sentence pulled them out of their introspection.

“He threw m-me d-d-down the stairs because I bi-bi-bit him.”

That sentence spurred Swatch into breaking their promise halfway. They didn't try to touch Spamton, nor to interrupt him with words. But they did open their arms wide, their cane clattering as they dropped it.

Spamton fell forward with a sigh, trusting Swatch to catch him. It was awkward, but they managed it, pulling him to their chest and into their lap. Spamton dug his sharp chin into Swatch's shoulder, his breath ragged but starting to slow down as Swatch rubbed his back.

Finally Swatch murmured, "I'd have bitten him too."

When that didn't get a reply from Spamton, Swatch decided to try a different tactic to break the tension, saying aggrievedly, "My butt's cold."

That got the laugh they wanted, along with his comment, "What - what happened t-t-to 'rump'? You always say 'rump'."

"Apologies, I forgot myself. My RUMP is cold."

"That's better," Spamton replied, his voice still shaky, but with a smile in it.

"I'm serious though. It's getting late and the wind’s picking up. I'm still listening, but can we talk and walk at the same time to warm up?"

"I g-guess so." Spamton leaned over to grab Swatch’s cane from where it had slid, two steps below where they both now sat. He handed it over and then slid off Swatch’s lap so that they could get to their feet. He then stretched and cracked his back. “You’re r-right, it is getting colder, and it f-feels like rain.”

Swatch held a hand out to Spamton in turn, asking as they did so, “Are you still going to try to see if someone can do your show tonight? It’s not really stretching the truth if you say your voice is shot.”

“Uh-huh. Let m-me text Leroux.” Spamton stood with Swatch’s help, then pulled his phone out of his hoodie’s pocket. He sent a message quickly, and the two headed down the stairs back to the street level.

The half-timbered houses of Fieldston gave way to apartment buildings as they walked side by side. The rest of the story came out in Spamton’s halting and hitching voice. 

Waking up in the hospital. No one able or willing to answer his questions about how he got there without money, keys, or identification. No one having any idea who Mike was. No one on duty able to remember how a packed garment bag with his name on it had been left at the nursing station. No one trying terribly hard to dissuade him from leaving against medical advice. Getting dressed in the black pullover sweater and green chinos that he found in the garment bag. Feeling his heart thump at what was and what wasn’t in that garment bag.

Walking for what felt like hours back to the Pandora Palace. Being told by both the doorman and the elevator operator that Mike had moved out last week, leaving no address, and that it was presumed Spamton had moved out as well. Being barred from going up to the fourth floor by the elevator operator. Being handed a wad of bills from the doorman’s pockets, presumably tips, and seeing eyes full of pity. Going to a bank branch and finding his account closed. Wandering the streets in shock, not caring where he ended up.

“I remember thinking that maybe T-Tallulah could let me crash at her place, but then I - then I remembered it was Fashion Week in P-Paris, and she usually spent all of - of October in France with her brother and her sister-in-law. And I sure as h-hell wasn’t going to t-try to g-get in t-touch with anyone n-named Addison.”

Spamton snorted and continued, disgust heavy in his tone, “It j-just didn’t - didn’t occur to me that I had a choice anymore. I’d shoved away everyone I knew. I went from b-b-being a somebody to a nobody. In m-my messed-up head I figured I d-d-d-d-deserved to be thrown away like - like garbage, so it was time to go LIVE in the garbage. And that’s where Ballew f-found me. Half-dead in a d-d-dumpster.”

The next words were muttered in such a low tone that Swatch could barely hear them. “I was such an idiot. And Mike got away with ruining my life.”

He started walking faster and faster, and Swatch almost had to run to keep pace. They put one hand on Spamton’s shoulder to try to slow him down, but the other shrugged it off. There was a hard look on the short man's face.

Swatch did not doubt for a moment that if the corpse of Michael John Galvin Cowley were to materialize in front of either of the two of them, they’d both be taking gleeful turns kicking it. 

Spamton finally seemed to run out of steam once the two of them were back on Broadway and familiar ground. He reached out to tuck his hand in the crook of Swatch’s elbow, heaving a deep sigh. “I wish I c-could say I felt better after dumping all that.”

“Well, it might sound odd, but I actually DO feel better hearing it, believe it or not.”

“So next t-time it’s your turn to - to dump.”

“Hmmmm. Not keeping score here.”

Dark had fallen without either of them noticing, and Swatch’s stomach rumbled. Spamton laughed and leaned his head on Swatch’s arm. His voice still raspy, he asked, “C-can I tr-treat you to tapas , to m-make up for last night, and m-my misunderstanding, and all that?”

Swatch looked down at him and smiled. “You don’t need to make up for anything, my dear. But tapas sounds great. And I won’t be offended if you have sangria .”

“I promise not to d-dance on any tables.”

___________

With surprisingly little fuss, Leroux agreed via text that “DJ Ray” could do both the 8 to 10 and the 10 to midnight slots that evening if “DJ Dreamweaver” agreed to reciprocate next Wednesday.

Spamton slid his phone across the table so his partner could see the message. 

“My, oh my.  Not even a ‘forsooth’ or a ‘gadzooks’? He must be losing his touch.” Swatch delicately nibbled on the last skewer of pollo and tried not to think about the menu prices. They had to admit that the assortment of small dishes was delicious, and if Spamton felt the need to splurge after his big emotional reveal… Well, different people reacted to baring their souls in different ways.

Swatch watched Spamton as he swirled his sangria in a stemless wine glass. They wondered, if they themself landed not only an internship but a career at Addison Cybernetics, whether they’d ever get used to not counting pennies as a matter of course

The two of them agreed to split a dessert - chocolate lava cake. As they dug in, Spamton asked shyly, “You’re st-still working your shift tonight at Plato’s?”

Swatch nodded.

“C-can I hang out with you?” His eyes looked enormous behind the round glasses. “I d-don’t really want to be alone.”

“I’d love to have your company.  Might deter the Russian kid who keeps mentally undressing me with his eyes after he’s had a few Smirnoffs.  He’s not at ALL subtle about it.”

“Russian kid… oh g-good gravy, d-d-d-don’t tell me. Kirov Rouvin, right?”

“That’s right. Wait a minute, isn’t he the kid you tutored last semester? The one who ambushed you on Valentine’s Day?” 

Spamton made an affirmative noise. Swatch groaned. 

“I hate to tell you this, but he’s still got a massive crush on you as well as having the hots for me. I get to hear every week about how you’re the one who got away, and whoever your ‘boyfriend’ is, he doesn’t deserve you. I haven’t had the heart to tell him you’re with me.”  

“Oh, man.  That’s g-going to be awkward, then.”

“Indeed.”

Spamton sighed. “Well, I’ll play it cool. I won’t - won’t bring it up, but I’m not going to d-deny it if he asks.”

____________

In the end, neither of them had to worry about Kirov. He hadn’t shown up by the time the last call was announced for the night, and Swatch entertained a few suspicions about why, based on the snippets of conversation they’d overheard from other students about ongoing world news. They kept those suspicions to themself, however, and drove a justifiably drowsy, adorably cute, and slight-buzz-fueled touchy-feely Spamton back to the house on Tibbetts Avenue.

Later, Swatch lay flat on their back in bed, looking down at Spamton and listening to him breathe in restful slumber. The shuttered, cynical look that Swatch had glimpsed during the whole disgorging-the-past conversation that afternoon was gone from their partner’s face now. His dimples, when he smiled and gave Swatch a soft kiss before snuggling into their shoulder and dropping off to sleep, were dimples again, not deep furrows that had made him look decades older.

Something still nagged at the back of Swatch’s brain.

The dates didn’t match up.

There was a whole year missing from Spamton’s story. 

Did Spamton not know how long he was being gaslighted by Mike, or had he misremembered how long he was homeless and on the streets?

Or had something else happened?

Swatch bit back a frustrated growl, not wanting to waken their sleeping partner, and forcibly composed themself to try to sleep as well. Tomorrow was soon enough to dive back into HDR territory.  

Or next week, even.

Mind and SOUL!

"From what I've gleaned off this platform, it looks like we've got to talk about ourselves." "..So let's. One piece at a time." "Oo! Do a musical number!" "...I wouldn't be able to even if i tried!" "But thanks for piping up, orange juice. This makes it easier on me." "By the gods, this is falling apart at an alarming rate."

"..Yeah.." "Okay, Okay-" "Okay.." "These- Are my soul traits." "The 'musical number' Clown's bravery." "We've got two out of three right now. Second one's the aspect of Justice that hangs out with B, And they work their magic more differently than you'd expect. There's some nuance to this." "Not just to them- but for the rest of the soul traits around my side of the 'verse. My side of town makes them work to a pretty weird extreme." "There's some consistency lying around in there. There's also more that's.. different" "They change depending on my Level of Violence. At 10.. Well. It wouldn't exactly be fair to fight me, if they were all I had." "Let me take it from here, pardner." "Cool, thanks." "Zip it, I'm teaching the class now." The bright yellow humanoid would retort." It's strange, he's ALL yellow. If you squint hard enough, you can even see through Justice, too. "Each of us have a thing, a say in his systems." "..Bravery, for example, goads him into acting impulsive." "From our first showing in that.. pong game, you'd know that it was his idea. The same goes for any strong mental stuff like that. For the rest of us n' whatnot." "We've also got.. skills. I'm your gunman. With me? He shoots better than a trained sniper on a god day, when he wants. With any gun he wants, with as big of a bullet as he wants. Illusions are a bust, and I can discern weak points, along with tracking any living breathing being in a 500 mile radius. Bravery?" Bravery for a second moves across the room at a high speed. Firstly taking steev's phone out of his pocket, looking through youtube, searching.. before realizing he wants to do something different. For another second, he runs through the door, breaking it under the raw impact. In less than 3 Seconds.. Bravery returns with multiple megaphones taped together, lifting it with one hand- it seeming as if lifting this much comes with ease. the pure orange figure seems to be under the impression doing this would make his points louder. "I'M THE SPEED GUY, THE STRENGTH GUY, THE FIRE GUY." "I CAN DO THE RULES OF NATURE SWORD BIT, AT 50%, AND I CAN TAKE A BATH IN LAVA, AND MAYBE CONTROL IT I DONT KNOW WE HAVEN'T TRIED THAT YET. I'VE ONLY REALLY BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL AND PUT OUT FIRE WITH HIM" "IT'D BLOW UP THE PLANET, YOU KNOW THAT!" Justice shoots through important components of the megaphones, causing the rest of bravery's little joke to fall flat, with him only yelling. "...." "...Ight red, your go." "Yes, determination. We've given ourselves an adequate profile." "mAAAN! Alright. You guys suck" "...Please?" "All is forgiven." "Okay, so. I'm basically what makes steev functionally inmortal. Every death comes to a resucitation so long as the man wants to continue." "If he doesn't? He gets to sit in a little Game over void for all I care." "I've also made swords, and shields. Ala glitchtale. With a few creative applications, like shield bubbles..." "We've even taken that little 'reset' idea and have used it to revert an object's memory- or place in time, back, some." "..Including ourselves! It's an effective-ish way to heal without any healing items." Each of the soul traits are recalled into him, steev creating a construct of a gun(It's visually a very bright and golden yellow) to blow the cap off a soda bottle. Before it tips over, he catches it with an orange speedster streak, creating a small red barrier with his hands so no soda fizz leaks. "Now I know you might be thinking about deev- He was included, after all." "..We'll hold something for him later, making written records for this exchange alone already looks like it's getting lengthy." He takes a swig of his sprite. "But that's most of us- and a pretty meaty chunk, too. Since they're all parts of me." "We'll get to talk again when I get to Dark Steev later..." Steev seems pensive, indecisive of the timeframe. "..Later later." "Do you have ANY idea how little that narrows it down?" deev would speak from his mind, laughing a little at his choice in words. "Shh. You're for next time."

@arcxnumvitae | The Monday Salt | Accepting!

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?

I had one mutual a while back that I was really looking forward to writing with, and it went super wrong. I'll preface this by saying that when we followed each other, it was the week I was getting married and going on my honeymoon, and was going to be really sparse for about two weeks.

Anyway.

Once I got back, I messaged them to ask if they might want to get a thread started, and they got back to me immediately to say yes, they were interested in Kadios, and in Jaspern, and they already had two of their muses in particular they wanted to use for it. I was like "Cool, they're always pretty easy to start stuff with, but fair warning, it looks like the muse you want to have interact with Kade is deaf, so there is going to be a language barrier there initially." Because Kade can't really use a translation charm or whatever to communicate with them if it's not a verbal thing. At least not that he knows how to use.

Which was fine with me, because that could be a really interesting dynamic, as they learn to interact with and understand each other. But they said they didn't like the sound of that, and so I said suggested that we could figure out an AU, that way I could feasibly make a reason as to why Kade would have known ASL already. (In his normal verse, he's a shifter that had spent most of his life in his beast form, and...had only just started staying in Gaea within the last year or two, so he didn't know any human languages, let alone ASL specifically)

They got frustrated with me, saying that they were no longer interested in Kade because I wasn't willing to make it so he would just know ASL "for her muse" that he didn't even know yet.

Oooookay. A little frustrating, and I was starting to get kind of an odd vibe, but I gave it another shot.

So I say "That's alright, I'm sorry it didn't work out, but we can still figure out something for -insert their muse's name- and Jaspern, if you want!"

And then they got all excited again, and told me that they had been reading some threads between me and another mun on here (who I'd been writing with for like two years at that point). They talked about how much they loved the ship between Jas and the other muse, but that they thought it would be fun if they could put their muse in it as like...as a mistress (or whatever the dude version of a mistress is lol), essentially.

Like, they expected Jas to just...cheat on this other muse, who he had a bunch of history with by then...with their muse that he didn't know at all...and end up having a love triangle/rivalry thing.

I put the brakes on that immediately, because like...first off, I don't usually just throw my muses into a ship instantly unless there's been a LOT of plotting beforehand. And even if I do put them in a straight up ship right away, it has to be someone that I've written with before, and I know how we mesh together, yknow?

Secondly, I won't even consider that if I haven't spoken to the other mun involved. Let alone for a ship that I'm so attached to in the first place-- I didn't even want to ask because of that alone, because it would literally have felt like spitting in my friend's face?

But they kind of got the picture and backed off (after arguing for a minute about how they would contact the other mun to get their permission, because they were "really convincing" and felt they could get them to agree, and I told them I wasn't comfortable with that), and instead said that they would "compromise" by just having their muse in their own ship with Jas...but only if it was exactly like this relationship he already had with the other muse from the relationship they'd wanted their muse to try to break up!

I was fed up and irritated, told them no, that wasn't cool, and got a big long post made about how I was unreasonable, and bitchy, and how they had tried to contact me multiple times and I "took forever to respond for like two weeks" (I WAS GETTING MARRIED--), so they "should have listened to that red flag, and saved [themself] the emotional trauma".

...Nobody took it seriously, which was a relief, and I ended up blocking them, but like????

What the heck man??????? Weird!

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

Pretty much the above. People trying to force my muses into super specific or unreasonable things with theirs. Or trying to force relationships and stuff after I said either that I wouldn't be comfortable with it, or that it wouldn't really be feasible with my muses.

It's one thing to be like "Hey, I saw this cool AU idea, and it made me think of your muse! Would you be interested in doing something like that?", and another to be like "I've already thought out exactly what I want from my muse and your muse, and so your muse is going to do this, this, and this--", yknow?

☢ What fads/trends are you so over?

Super fancy post editing and stuff. ^^;;

Like listen, if that's your thing, and you enjoy spending time making your replies and icons and formatting look super sparkly and cute, that's great! Do your thing!

I just find that I end up getting distracted by all of it. Or, honestly, I'm not able to read the teeny, tiny, light pink writing, because my eyes are bad. So I don't really make a habit of interacting with too many people that do it unless their writing really draws me in.

Honestly I don't even care if you use icons at all. As long as you cut your posts when things get long, and we're enjoying the thread we have together, I'm happy!
