@silverskye13 I was cleaning out my folders and found these unfinished doodles from ages ago, so behold! Tango and Tanguish dancing the Tango or as i like to call it, The Tango Cube (Tanguish is also breakdancing cuz he's my special little guy)

Funny little (and a bit lackluster) inktober thing I made for myself, that I’ll post sketches for each 3 days! Just so I’ll actually draw something this month.

Day 1: Pezzy!! I already draw him with soda-like liquid so I thought I’d draw him cuz I wasn’t feeling like drawing gore at the time!

Day 2: Crowned Prince! Tango!! He’s just a little guy! And I don’t draw him much at all anymore so I wanted to! And I like the crown design a little.

Day 3: Pearl!! Pearl!! Flowers!! Pearl!!! I don’t draw her near enough

I have a sales pitch for your folklore animals!

Gem as the wolf: cunning, often representative of death, normally endears itself to its prey in some fashion [ex. Tricking Little Red Riding Hood by dressing up as her grandmother], meant to be feared and defeated, but always gets you in the end

Pearl as the Bear: the bear is often the muscle in stories, something that is overtly feared, but still tends to fall to the trickery of animals like the coyote or the fox. [Ex. Losing its tail in a frozen lake because of the fox]

Regardless, very interested to see what you've got brewing 👁️‍🗨️

oh those are GOOD ONES actually I really like those for them… yeah I may switch gem to wolf you’re RIGHT………. ohhh I’m really thinking now…..

anyway AS I SAID WE’LL SEE IF IT GOES ANYWHERE I JUST HAVE. IDEAS.

hello again grillster tumblr i return with my meager offerings

Shoutout to some of my favourite writers in this fandom!

@sillyfairygarden - insanely talented (and imo actually underrated) author and artist, and pretty much the sole reason I check my mail inbox first thing every morning.

Also. Scarpearl. Shaky thumbs up. Reading “no number exists for griefs like these” was honestly a delight! Glad I decided to check it out after asking for a favourite work ("But oh, the bloom" still leaves rent free in my head though)

@silverskye13 - I’ve reread Redstone and Sculk a number of times now (and I will again). Whenever I see a dandelion I’m reminded of Tanguish - there’s a screenshot of it sitting on my desktop, but I absolutely adore this line:

“It gave him the look of a sleepwalker, and Helsknight didn't like it. He was used to the wide, curious, cat-like gaze, glittering in dandelion yellow”

Reading “This Place Is Not A Place  of Honour” for the first time had me with my jaw on the ground. Incredible

@violet-fire-cat - Spring Blossoms is maybe the cosiest fic I’ve ever read. Giggling and kicking my feet. Had actual tingles in my fingers when they finally got their act together :)

@birrdies - the lifeline au is SO intriguing and I absolutely adore the storytelling through all the different media elements. I am so excited to see where it goes - listening to the podcast aspect of the story is such an experience!

@definitelynotshouting - the hunger au. Need I say more. Hand on heart it makes me want to curl up in bed with a hot water bottle while I Feel Things. Slightly dangerous to read/reread in the middle of the night though I’m incapable of putting writing that good down and actually sleeping.

I believe the tag limit is five so (absolute tragedy /s) I’ll probably have to send another ask about more talented writers! :D

@sillyfairygarden + @silverskye13 + @violet-fire-cat + @birrdies + @definitelynotshouting !!!

its 630am, and I haven't slept. I binged and caught up with Redstone and Skulk by @silverskye13 last night, and I had some thoughts.

first: its very good pls read it

second: okay so this is a little more involved so ✂

I haven't been keeping up with the tag bc I've been behind and didn't want spoilers, but I saw mention of there being a theory that Tanguish is a saint, and in reading a big chunk of chapters last night, especially 41 and 42, I had some thoughts

Helsknight and his relationship to knighthood is complicated at best and very much a... a job he resents but has grown kind of fond of aspects of but is otherwise largely kind of a pain

He came to know he was going to be a perfect knight in the ways that Welsknight can't be (these details are fuzzy, its going on 7am) or maybe tries to hold himself to it bc Wels ... listen this isnt the point I'm getting at but you know what I mean

Tanguish had a laughable idea of Helsknight, like, shopping around for which church fit him, and honestly, I don't think it's that far off the truth? it feels so much like Helsknight had an obligation to uphold to be a knight, and while he did do his research and learning before deciding, how fitting is Blood and Steel for the person Helsknight had built himself into?

the point I'm getting at here, is that, what if there hadn't been any kind of... particularly strong tug of devotion? or if there was, it's waned a lot over the years? and now there's the awe of divinity and wanting to submit his being to this one cause, this one purpose?

and the encounter with the paladin... I'm just sayiiiing...

the title of the fic does also carry that format of Saintliness with it, yknow?

in honor of (slightly late to) "Grillby Has New Lore" day and FR being down, here's a collection of my Grillby dragons i have saved on my laptop (firebreak's missing his cane and I'm slightly mad abt it)

Dude I love? Love. The TTEI fic. I've already been recommending it to friends. And I don't normally comment on fics and things, but since I've said all of this to six different people already I'm just -- going to gush in here a bit I hope you don't mind. :3

So first off, you write Tango's voice super well! His internal monologue as well?? And it was just endlessly funny and fitting to me that he gets to make -inators and -ificators because -- like yeah that makes sense what a fun way to integrate one of this quirks as a CC. And also?? Making him competent while still keeping him silly?? That is one of my favorite tropes period, and the fact that you then extended the same thing to Jimmy-- I adore.

Also also all the other characters as well?? Etho and BDubs?? I could read an entire fic of whatever the heck their shenanigans are. The intervention was adorable, and giving Etho an almost Lawful Evil vibe with him trying to balance crime in the city was a really cool take. How earnest BDubs was when he asked Tango if he was lonely?? Oh my god.

Also The Parrot, Grian. Amazing. The fact that he can (limitedly) steal powers was so so cool, and also an interesting way of busting him in while still giving him a reason to be vulnerable a few minutes later. That was such a fun balance to strike and facilitate so much for the story-telling and I love how it balanced things. Also him and Tango's banter, and him and Jimmy's banter, was also just really good??

Also?? The reveal of Tango's powers at the end?? Hi hi hi hello it did not even occur to me that he could have something besides the -inator-ing I was so pleasantly surprised by all of that. You also had me speculating that maybe The Warden might Be Tango from another universe [a bit like the PnF movie where Doofenshmirtz is actually competent] or that it might be Hot Guy coming back as a villain, which was a heck of a lot of fun to speculate even if that's not how the plot panned out. Just proves you got my brain spinning while reading.

Just.

Yeah.

Super cool.

Anyway! Love your work! Love the way you write! I think I read in one of your other asks that this is the first thing you've posted since 2020? Man! What a gem! I'm so so glad you finished this and shared it with the community, and I hope you got as much joy from the creation as I got from the read. Just, honestly, awesome work 💜 thank you for creating

omg thank you SO MUCH, i saw your super kind tags earlier too and was planning on saying thank you for those once I got the time to, and now you've sent the most lovely ask TOO? And you're recommending my fic to people?? I'm on the floor clutching these to my heart, crying ;___;

Gonna gush right back at you bc I will infodump about my writing at a moment's notice so sorry for the long post akjdshf

THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY TANGO VOICE, THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME <3 I'm so glad to hear that because I care soooo much about characterization. I have such strong opinions on how certain characters should act. But then at the same time, this is such a goofy AU with such specific circumstances that make everyone act in a very specific way, and I just want to keep cramming in all the jokes I think of. So once I got to the end, I was like ......oh dear, I hope he still stayed Tango aksdjfh. This whole AU pretty much just spiraled out from 1. Tango likes Dr. Doof and 2. Tango can be pretty (jokingly) judgemental about the "right" way to do things? Like he judges people for using "dirty" methods like TNT duping, or this one time Grian was mining quartz near him in a livestream, Tango was like ??? I can GIVE you quartz from villagers, ill do it for free, you don't need to live like this??? So I put that part of Tango's character in the spotlight and I ran soooo far with it.

Once I'm done taking a break from this AU, I would really love getting into what's going on with team B.I.T.E.S! They have sooo many secret identity shenanigans going on between them, it'd be really fun to dive into what's up with them lol. I'm sad I had to cut the Impulse scene I had planned because it would have explained a little more about what's going on with Wraith at least! I definitely want to try and add it as a deleted scene, if I can figure out how to write the rest of it.

Re: the Warden omg lowkey I was thinking of the PnF movie a little bit!! I started running out of time in the event so I wasn't able to set some stuff up about the Warden that I planned to do throughout the fic unfortunately!! But the Warden was always going to be a sort of non-character: I didn't want to invest too much time in making an OC for a fanfic, and because whoever the main antagonist was, their main role was always just going to amount to: get wrecked by the trio. I couldn't bear making anyone from canon be the punching bag haha. For a while, I even thought I'd just get some random "ice villain" name, slap it on, call it a day. Then I thought I'd, at the very least, make it a Minecraft reference, one that had a connection to Tango: the Warden. One of the things I had planned on making more clear was this idea that Tango thinks someone wants to steal his nemesis because he thinks they're coming after his Brand, which is a very silly thought. And then it would end up being a little bit true when the Warden finally made an appearance with the "Hey you let out the guy who was gonna be my nemesis" line lol.

So the Warden is very much based on icy blue dungeon master Tango and Decked Out from Hermitcraft. He's not literally from another dimension like in the movie because the implications of that are way too huge for a oneshot lol, but he is kinda meant to be an alternate version of Tango. I don't want to say he's a narrative foil because I did not set it up enough to deserve using that cool word lol. But it makes me really happy that you brought up the movie because I definitely was thinking of the parallels!! I'm sorry I really didn't give him that much of a spotlight when you speculated so much!! Hotguy IS kinda accidentally a red herring, isn't he?? omg I didn't think about how misleading that would be, I'm a little aghast!! That was more meant to be a vague "I'm setting up for a future Hotguy + Parrot/Cuteguy side story" aksdjhf

Genuinely thank you so much for taking the time to write this super kind and detailed ask full of all this analysis, it means so very much to me <3 You've made me feel so happy about my writing :D I did have a lot of fun creating this, and seeing the reaction from the community has been so gratifying!!!

This is literally the most ideal response I could have ever gotten, I am framing it and hanging it up in my heart <3

[stitchthesewords]

Hi hello yes I read your tags and I have been reading Murderbot Diaries. I'm on book 4 currently [Network Effect]. You're correct it's a fantastic series and going through "humanizing processes" is heavily inspired by Murderbot and ART doing human exercises in book?two? [I've been doing a lot of reading it all blends together sometimes alskdjjfg]. Anyway glad you liked the Robosuma snippet!

omg hi!!!! I have been working through murderbot [I finished the first one and I'm waiting on my library and also mental energy to read book 2] and it is SO good oh my god - I'm glad to see I was right about you having read it!!! :D Robosuma is EVERYTHING to me I love him now he is like a son. A blorbo. I love he.
