[quinton-reviews]

Hi Quinton!! I have been a HUGE fan of your stuff since a friend sent me the Tobuscus Fallen Titans (I used to watch him back in high school and was like "huh, wonder what happened to him after those allegations") and I gotta say, it is REALLY FUNNY every time my fiancé and I watch the iCarly videos again, because when you cover Gibby's stunt double breaking his ribs, you cut to a clip of The Official Podcast. I used to play D&D with one of the main dudes from the podcast, so when he talks during that clip I do a goddamn double take literally every time.

Anyways, I remember an original Patreon stretch goal being a Fallen Titans on Homestuck! I was really big into Homestuck in my early 20s, and was wondering if that's still on the table at some point? If not that's fine, I understand plans change! I just love Fallen Titans lol, the Fred episode and the Neil Cicierega unFallen Titans are some of my favorite videos of yours!

That's a real funny story!

So here's the rundown on the Homestuck video. When I first started making long videos, they were actually inspired by the relationship I had with other YouTubers at the time. I used to watch, like, H3H3 and Filthy Frank, etc; and I'd always see people obsessed with the versions of creators from the past. Like, "Oh 2015 H3 was the best" and "Oh 2012 Frank was peak." So I had this idea that it would be crazy if H3 posted, like, a video he spent a decade on and you got a new video with 2015 H3 10 years on. (I don't watch H3 anymore ironically)

So the original idea for the "long video" format was that it would be cool if, throughout a long, analysis/review/recap video, you kept noticing someone get older. Maybe my months, maybe by years. That's why I always like to get a haircut when I start one of these videos. If you scrub through and you see my hair get longer and messier as it goes on I think that adds something magical you can't fake.

So... My pitch to the Homestuck video was that it would be funny to work on it just once per year. To record one segment, say "That's it for 12 months", and then come back around to it. And when I was making the iCarly and Victorious videos I actually recorded a few minutes of the video! I think it was two segments in total. But then I had a bunch of personal stuff happen and my work drive has been much lower, so any "back burner" video hasn't gotten much attention since then.

Now that the iCarly mini-series is done with, I want to focus on some short one-off videos I can make before April. But once that's done with, I would REALLY love to start work on a few more long-term projects which will take months or years to finish. I think returning to work on the Homestuck video, to at least get the first 20-30 minutes done, would be a great idea this summer.

Now, if you want to know my pitch for that video, here it is. The video is not a recap of the creative history of the franchise. I do not get into drama, community hell, lawsuits, or other YouTubers. My idea is this: you always hear about Homestuck as an outsider but you never hear about the actual content. Most franchises on Earth I know something about, even and especially if I've never been interested in them. I can tell you a bunch of facts about wrestling and MLP and the Fast and the Furious simply through cultural osmosis and having friends who are into those things.

I can't tell you the plot of Homestuck, who the characters are, what the themes are, nothing. I've known a lot of people who were into Homestuck but nothing about the series!

So I thought it would thus be funny to make a video about a bunch of people who know nothing about the series starting from the beginning and giving their reactions, even if it's been years since it all started. I call this part of the video the "Homestuck Book Club." So the next step is me picking out the members (who all have to have no history with it) and making sort of a podcast setup. We'd then read and record every six months or so, IDK.

This is why the video has been stuck in production hell! Everyone who wants to work on it and messages me about it already knows the franchise. I don't want spoilers, I don't want people writing for the video who get it already. I want to capture the "what the fuck is this" energy of three dudes just getting in the middle of it.

Also, I think that I really like the theme of the video capturing our lives as they go by, capturing us aging and changing. If you came back from the future and told me this video comes out in five years, I'd say great. If you told me it comes out in ten years, I'd say awesome. Until then, the latest edit will always be on Patreon, even if you have to dig a little.

freezing summer (neil lewis x reader)

It took you almost 10 years to confess to Neil. It was just as strange as that freezing summer night.

tags n warnings: fluff, language, friends to lovers. word count: 2.2k. disclaimer: this is like "the first fic i've ever written but decided to repost now cuz i was embarrassed and deleted :D"

"Don't you think it's a little late to start getting ready now?" Neil’s voice carried a sulky edge over the phone, accompanied by the faint clinking of metal in the background.

"After all, you're a woman, and it takes you way longer than it does me."

"Sexism? Nice try, Neil," you shot back, rolling your eyes as you adjusted an earring. "You're a 26-year-old guy who's never had a girlfriend because you don't know how to get ready."

"And you only have me, a 26-year-old guy, as a friend." His voice was smug. "And, for the record, I’ve had a girlfriend before."

"She doesn’t count. It was only for three days, and she broke up with you in gym class."

"But I kissed her enough to make it feel like three months."

"Sure, who doesn’t love a few pecks behind the school gym? And take a shower, because I’m pretty sure you're fixing that old bike of yours."

A pause. Then, the sound of a wrench dropping. "Very funny, comedy queen. Now finish getting ready, because I’m on my way to your place. And show some respect for my Denise."

"Please, retire Denise."

"Never, my baby darling.”

You shook your head, a small smile tugging at your lips as you ended the call. Teasing and laughter—that was the foundation of your friendship with Neil Lewis. Since you were sixteen, you had been this way: blunt, sarcastic, inseparable.

You had never been the easiest person to befriend. A little too rough around the edges, a little too stubborn. By high school, you were the girl drinking a soda alone against a pillar in the gym, watching groups of friends laugh and talk. No one had ever approached you—until Neil did. The weirdest guy in the class. Ironic, really.

He had a habit of pasting cult movie posters in his notebooks and wore the most outdated shirts, second only to Jeremy from sophomore year. You met at an arcade near your house, where he was practically renting out Asteroids. You’d been hovering for fifteen minutes, arms crossed, hoping he’d notice your misery.

He had. And, to your surprise, he stepped aside, offering you a turn.

You ended up talking the whole night.

Now, years later, you were getting ready for your birthday, and somehow, you found yourself wanting to look perfect—not just for the party, but for him.

You slipped into your red dress, smoothing the fabric over your hips. The snug fit complemented your scarlet earrings, and the wine-colored polish on your nails was still slightly smudged from your rushed application. Your black leather boots added a slight edge to the outfit.

A thought flickered through your mind—was this too much? It was just a night out with Neil, the same Neil who had known you at your worst. He’d probably show up in an old Bon Jovi shirt and those worn-out Converse he refused to throw away.

But when the doorbell rang and you swung the door open, your breath hitched.

"Neil?" You coughed, trying to suppress a laugh.

He stood there in a brand-new black hoodie, clean jeans, and sneakers that actually looked new. A faint scent of cologne clung to him—woodsy, warm. Your eyes flickered to the moss-green convertible parked at the curb.

"Did Neil Lewis die and get replaced?"

"Oh, fuck you," He laughed, spreading his arms to embrace you on a tight hug, swaying the bodies.

"Ohh, I love you too" you cooed, pushing back as saying this was some kind of disturbing thing you didn't want to say. You quickly tried to spare it, coming to your teasing tone. "But I'm not going on Denise again. Last time i almost broke my leg."

"Oh, you loved to have me taking care of you, admit it." He teased, touching your forehead with his pointer.

"Yeah. I did." You confessed as the pink creeped on your cheeks.

Neil felt his heart pang, ruffling his hair. "But we're not going out on Denise this time."

"Wait. What do you mean?"

He shifted on his feet, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "I bought a car... last week from a used car lot. Wanted to break it in, and you were the first person I thought of to bring along." He smiled, almost shyly. "So, ready to go, princess?"

You swallowed, pushing away whatever strange feeling was creeping up your spine.

"Sure, charming."

You slid into the passenger seat, and as Neil started the engine, the cold night air rushed in. You hugged your coat around yourself.

"You know, it’s supposed to be summer."

Neil smirked, one hand on the wheel, the other adjusting the radio. "Global warming, sweetheart."

As expected, the ride turned into a battle of musical taste. He wanted The Smiths. You wanted Madonna. After some playful bickering, Blondie became the neutral ground.

When you arrived, your laughter was cut off by the neon sign above you.

"Radio Hackers?" You snorted.

Neil’s grin widened. "Still haven’t learned? I’m full of surprises."

He reached for your arm, pulling you close, and before you could process it, he pressed a brief kiss to your cheek.

Your heart did something strange. You nearly tripped.

Over the years, there had been moments. The way he hugged you a little too long sometimes. The way he’d watch you when he thought you weren’t looking. You had ignored it all.

Because Neil was Neil. Your best friend. The only person who had been there since you were that reckless, purple-haired sixteen-year-old.

The music inside was deafening. Neon lights flickered over dancing bodies. Drinks sloshed in glasses. Neil grabbed your hand, dragging you toward the dance floor.

"I don’t dance!" you protested, laughing.

"Neither do I," he admitted. Then he began flailing his arms dramatically, completely offbeat.

"Stop! You’re embarrassing us!" you laughed, your stomach already aching from the uncontrollable giggles.

Neil, of course, only made it worse. He exaggerated his ridiculous dance moves, throwing his arms around like a malfunctioning robot. You covered your face in mock horror, but the grin never left your lips.

"Come on, no one cares about us. We’re just tiny stardust," he declared dramatically, spinning in place before tripping slightly over his own foot.

You groaned, shaking your head. "No, Neil. No Carl Sagan tonight."

The music suddenly shifted. A damn slow song, where all the couples nested on each other.

Neil hesitated, the usual spark of mischief in his eyes replaced by something more uncertain. His hand hovered between you two before he finally extended it, the faintest hint of a blush creeping up his neck.

You swallowed. He looked almost... nervous.

"So, I learned a few new steps for this kind of music. Want to give it a try?" His voice was softer, his confidence wavering slightly.

A shy smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and something inside you clenched. Without a word, you nodded and placed your hand in his. His fingers curled around yours—warm, steady. He pulled you closer, hands settling on your waist, yours instinctively finding his shoulders.

Your bodies fit together easily, swaying in time with the music. The noise of the party blurred into the background as you focused on the warmth of his touch, the way his thumb brushed absentmindedly against the fabric of your dress.

You looked up, locking eyes with him. His blue gaze was intense, searching. Your breath hitched as he moved slightly closer, his scent—clean, warm, familiar—wrapping around you. Had Neil always smelled this good? Had he always been this effortlessly confident?

A shiver ran down your spine, and you suddenly felt overwhelmed by the realization creeping into your mind. If Neil was your best friend, this shouldn't feel different. You shouldn't feel this unsteady.

Your heart pounded.

Would this be another fleeting crush? Something you could bury, like you had with your ex all those years ago? Or was this something more dangerous—something impossible to ignore?

Neil must have noticed your sudden tension because he slowed his movements, concern flickering across his face.

"Are you okay?" His voice was gentle. "Do you want to leave?"

You hesitated, then nodded. "Yeah, I’m sorry," you murmured, unable to meet his gaze.

Without hesitation, Neil pulled you into a brief embrace, pressing a kiss to your forehead. The gesture was familiar, comforting—and yet, it sent a rush of warmth through you that had nothing to do with friendship.

He led you out of the party, his hand resting lightly on your lower back. The night air hit you like a shock, crisp and much colder than you’d expected. You shivered, crossing your arms over yourself.

"Damn, it’s supposed to be summer," you muttered, rubbing your bare arms.

Neil glanced at you, concern flickering in his eyes. "Cold? We can go to my apartment. It's closer."

You hesitated for half a second before nodding. "Yeah, okay."

The drive was quiet, the usual banter between you replaced with a strange, charged silence. You stole a glance at him—one hand on the wheel, the other tapping idly against his thigh. He looked deep in thought, his jaw tight, his lips slightly parted like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

A few minutes later, you arrived. You had been to Neil’s apartment more times than you could count, but tonight, stepping inside felt different. Your nerves were suddenly unbearable.

You sank onto the couch, trying to gather your thoughts. Neil disappeared into his room for a moment and returned with a blanket, draping it over your shoulders before sitting beside you.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled you against him.

It wasn’t unusual—Neil had always been physically affectionate. But tonight, with your body against his, his arms wrapped securely around you, it felt… different. His heartbeat was steady against your cheek. His fingers absentmindedly traced patterns along your arm.

Your lips parted, the words burning on your tongue.

If you didn’t say it now, you might never say it. If you did, you could ruin everything.

But keeping it in? That felt even worse.

"Neil?" Your voice was barely above a whisper.

"Yeah, darling?" His grip on you tightened slightly.

You swallowed hard, feeling your pulse hammer against your ribs.

"Kiss me."

Neil pulled away, his eyes locked onto yours in a silence that stretched unbearably long. Seconds felt like ages. His lips were slightly parted, his breath uneven, as if he were debating something internally.

Your heart pounded in your chest. Why wasn't he saying anything?

"What’s wrong?" you finally asked, your voice softer than you intended.

Neil exhaled sharply and ran a hand through his already messy hair, his fingers tangling in the strands. "You’re drunk," he muttered, pushing himself up from the couch. "I���m going to make some coffee."

You blinked, caught off guard. "Drunk?" You leaned forward, closing the small distance between you two, your face only inches from his. "Neil, is the idea of kissing me that bad?"

His eyes darted to yours, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard. "No, it’s just…" He hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck as his gaze flickered around the room, searching for an escape. "It’s not a joke."

Your brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"

Neil let out a dry, nervous laugh, his hand raking through his hair again. His foot tapped anxiously against the floor, a habit you knew all too well. "Everyone knows I’ve had a crush on you since I was like… 17."

Your breath caught.

"What?"

The word barely escaped your lips before Neil’s eyes widened in horror. He immediately clapped a hand over his mouth, as if trying to shove the confession back in. "Shit," he muttered behind his fingers.

Before he could bolt, before he could deflect with a joke or awkwardly escape to the kitchen, you grabbed his wrist, gently pulling him back down. His breath hitched as you moved closer, your fingers tightening around his.

Then, without another thought, you kissed him.

It started as the softest brush of lips, almost hesitant, but when he didn’t pull away, you pressed deeper into it. At first, he remained frozen, his body stiff beneath your touch. Then, as if something inside him snapped, he melted into you.

His hand slid to your waist, fingers curling against the fabric of your dress as he pulled you flush against him. His other hand found your jaw, his thumb brushing against your cheek as he kissed you back, slow and deliberate, like he had been waiting years for this moment.

When he finally pulled away, he was breathless, his blue eyes locked onto yours with an intensity that sent a shiver down your spine. His lips were slightly swollen, a dazed smile forming at the corners.

"Shit," he murmured, his forehead resting against yours, "I’ve been wanting to do that since you were that weird purple-haired girl."

A laugh bubbled up in your chest, but it was swallowed when he grinned and pulled you even closer, capturing your lips once more in a kiss that was softer, deeper—filled with something unspoken but undeniable.

After what felt like an eternity, Neil finally stood up, lacing his fingers with yours and tugging you toward the kitchen. You followed, still lightheaded from the kiss, warmth lingering where his hands had been.

He stopped in front of the table, gesturing grandly toward an extravagant spread of coffee, cookies, and toast.You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms. "All prepared, huh?"

You took a sip of the coffee, only to wrinkle your nose at the bitterness. "Neil, you forgot the sugar."

He groaned, throwing his head back dramatically. "Oh, come on!"

Your laughter filled the room, and his mock-offended expression only made you laugh harder. After a moment, he cracked a grin, shaking his head.

"Hey, now we’re like… you know…" He hesitated before making a heart shape with his hands. "Lovers."

You stared at him for a beat before bursting into laughter again. "Lovers," you repeated teasingly, testing the word. Then, grinning, you leaned in, pressing another kiss to his lips. "Sure. B-ranked movies?"

"Always, my darling," he chuckled, kissing you once more.

I got a cameo from Miles! I really appreciate all the care he put into answering my questions :)

I thought I'd share it with you guys in case you found some of them interesting! :D

My questions were,

Is Neil autstic?

Would Jermy and Ainsley be friends?

What are Jermy's hobbies?

What would Preston and Dolph's dynamic be if they had an episode together?

I think it's very nice how supportive Miles is of headcanons and fanfiction! I also think its endearing how much the Camp Camp team seem to like Neil's T-rex arms. I believe I've seen them bring it up in the directors commentary and a piece of official artwork before. It's definitely my favorite character quirk of his! :D

If any of the other 2 Jermy fans want to learn more about him here you go. I really love that he did the Jermy voice I'm very happy. I love my gross son XD

He's a good kid with a pure soul and he can do anything. That's inspirational :)

Its very interesting to hear about how they go about writing Jermy too! I'll definitely keep this in mind :)

I also think it's extremely funny that Ainsley is such a tolerant, ruthlessly nice person but Jermy is the one she just cannot stand. Imagining her being uncomfortable around him is hilarious to me, also #toetacular

Dolph and Preston's dynamic of Preston being the sell out and Dolph being the over-serious starving artist is also interesting to me. I really like that idea, I always wished they had more interactions :)

Overall I'm extremely happy! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone :D

[stabbyfoxandrew]

Hiii

If you're up to it, could I have some arsonist Neil/firefighter Andrew? I just love them, they're so funny and endearing (despite 10 being a literal arsonist) and Andrew's dynamic with Kevin and the foxes is just hilarious

Thank you very much and I hope you have a great first week of the spooky month :D

WIP Wednesday (10/2) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 241)

When Andrew gets back upstairs, the crew's dining room is empty except for Kevin. He's at the coffee maker, pouring some of Dan's favorite holiday-flavored creamer into a cup of coffee. Andrew watches him until Kevin notices his presence and turns to smile over his shoulder.

"Don't say a word."

"I'm not." Kevin says, stirring his peppermint mocha nightmare with a spoon. He taps it on the cup and drops the spoon in the sink. Kevin, never content to just shut up and be still, drums his fingers against the side of his cup then clicks his tongue. "Okay, I am." Predictable. "You're seeing someone?"

"No. Like I said, we're just talking. It's not a big deal." Andrew tells him. And Kevin makes some sort of face before taking a long sip.

Finished watching Dead Boy Detectives. Here are my honest thoughts.

-If you're going into it expecting another Good Omens, stop. Our protagonists are all minors. Teenagers. They cuss, they have total dirty mouths and sexual humor, but they are not eternal beings pretending to be middle aged men. They're ghosts. Dead Boys, if you will. Also this might be a stretch, but I'm assuming from the slightly less good CGI that the budget for this series was a LOT less than what it was for GO

-Edwin is kind of a dick in the first episode. But it's okay. Because character growth is swag.

-REALISTIC CHARACTER GROWTH!!! I liked Edwin a LOT more during the second episode BECAUSE of the character growth. And honestly? It's completely natural that bro is more than a little prickly after only being able to trust one guy for an extremely long time. Fair enough my guy. Carry on.

- this show kinda has Nimona vibes. If that makes sense. Witty humor, somewhat sexual dialogue, funny moments during serious times, though geared towards a younger audience. If you like those kinds of things, you will like this, I'm sure of it.

- In the early episodes, the pacing/character relationships feel a little off??? I'm not sure if that was because I was expecting another Good Omens or what. But after 2-3 episodes, the dust quickly settled and we got into the actual storyline. Which was extremely appreciated✨

-these villains are FUCKED up. I'm telling you. They are HORRIFIC. Had me squirming and cringing through their intense scenes. And gosh. That was a TRIP.

-TY TENANT PLAYS THE MAIN GUY EDWIN!!!! And he plays him WELL. I did not realize this going in to the show and thought his face was VERY familiar. Only after I looked it up did I realize why. He's our sassy son of Job. (EDIT: turns out Ty plays the Doom Patrol version. Not the one on Netflix. My bad! They do look pretty similar though, so ykw. Great casting. Also my point still stands. This guy is a pretty fuckin awesome actor. 10/10)

-Cat King is such a wild card holy SHIT.

-Charles is cute as fuck. His backstory HURTS. But also. I love the way his ears look. Like in the pictures that I saw of him they were of when the Cat King impersonated him so I was like oh chill. So he's got pointed ears bc feline but NOPE. He's just like that!! And honestly? Slay. I fuckin love it.

-oh did I mention tragic backstories???? Yeah we got those :D for everyone :D

-Niko is the best and I love her. Also I love how the letters on her desk are written in Japanese. That is a VERY nice touch of character building.

-hot butcher lady with throat tattoo

All in all. A truly delightful series and I genuinely hope it gets another season because I NEED to know what happens next. My little sister LOVED it and the ending had us all staring open mouthed at the TV screen in shock.

This 15yo girl is literally ranting my ear off, having adventures with the Dead Boys in her dreams and chatting with me about it, searching up fanfics and drawing fanart, the whole shabang. And it is DIFFICULT for this girl to get into shows like this. So honestly? This is perfect. Thank you, Neil. For giving us a whole other banger.

That being said. If anybody else has some younger siblings that are around 15-17 and are looking for shows to binge watch together, this is the perfect one. I'm telling you, you will NOT regret it (except maybe emotionally)

Thoroughly recommend.

tot ch14 spoilers!!

-

my mental bingo card was not prepared for nxx shenanigans... but now i cannot stop thinking abt it... vyn only stuffing away his prop after artem looks awkward implying he was going to comply with marius' plan... they're so funny for doing that it was the last thing i expected after the horror of seeing neil LOL

but this only encourages me to write more main story-compliant nxx fun moments

also this means marius loves his team I'm not taking any arguments /j

Hi super-novatuna!

First of all, thanks for prefacing your ask with the spoiler warning, because when I received this, I had not completed Main Story 14 yet. I'm all caught up now, though, and yes!! I love how much NXX team shenanigans we've been getting in between the stress of the main case!

Obviously the starkest difference between the team now and in the past is when MC first joined the NXX in Main Story 5 and had to listen to everyone bicker over Giann and Neil, but even in Main Story 6, the team was (understandably) upset with Artem, especially after the whole Ava Kendrick glass cage fiasco.

So it's really nice to have them celebrate Artem coming back after being away in this chapter! And Vyn of all people joining in makes it even better. This team loves each other, they've done too many teambuilding activities outside of Stellis to not at least be concerned about each other.

Plus, you're so right that Marius did so much in this chapter and I love that for him. From talking about slacking off in lectures with wireless earbuds IN FRONT OF VYN to having those earbuds actually come in handy when he sneakily called MC during Artem's lecture, he was such a great presence in this chapter. And the fact that he 'decoded' MC's SOS message so quickly and sent help in practically the blink of an eye only solidifies how every Marius appearance in this chapter counts. Not to mention him bringing up Luke's health in a scene? Marius has his eye on every single member of his team!

Also, Vyn hiding the prop was so funny to me, it's such a classic moment of Vyn trying to be cool and (somewhat) failing.

Can you imagine Luke, Vyn, and Marius planning to surprise Artem, though? That would be such a funny canon-compliant scene to write... (and you are SO RIGHT about the scene providing intense tonal whiplash after opening with a really serious Neil scene + finally seeing Neil in person).

Thank you for the ask! I hope your writing goes well if you do ever write some canon-compliant moments :D

just finished "kevin can fk himself" and !!!!! art. the discussion between writing and direction happening in nearly EVERY scene (how in the sitcom scenes, if you lit and shot them like a drama, they wouldn't be funny. and even in the dramatic scenes, neil's lines and actions could often be repeated by a guy in a sitcom to comedic effect) was i n c r e d i b l e

loved also the story of how a toxic woman left her toxic husband to be a toxic girlfriend (no homo) to her forcibly-best friend.

im sounding insincere, but i thought kevin can fk himself was one of the best series i've seen in a long time

[carowleysposts]

GUYS WAIT.

Have you heard the songs from the Aziracrow playlist?

I THINK THEY MIGHT BE… A CLUE ✨

1- I would say “cry me a river” might foreshadow how Crowley is feeling after the bookshop “i forgive you” incident. I don’t know if he’ll feel the need to be petty, but i BET he’ll act cold towards Aziraphale when they first see each other again.

2- It seems like Neil confirmed the South Downs cottage with “Just my imagination”. I mean: “a cozy, little home out in the country” just SCREAMS south downs cottage.

3- OH MY FUCKING GOD? In “Heart and Soul”, the lyrics revolve around a stolen kiss that changed it all between two people, and how much the narrator’s been thinking about it and about their love, how he loved that kiss and loves this person madly - also, BEGGED TO BE ADORED? What in the Mr. Anthony “You Can’t Leave This Bookshop” J. Crowley?

* this one kinda makes me feel like EVERY maybe wasn’t their first kiss but let’s wait and see - it feels very 1941 to me.

4- These ones just made me go “OMG they’re so in love i might explode”

- The Book of Love: references to dancing, “i love it when you read to me”;

- In Dreams: what crowley wanted vs what he got “i awake and find you gone”;

- Could’ve Been: this is PINING at its peak!!! “think about you when i’m alone”. PLUS the obvious reference to “could’ve been us”.

5- Midnight Rain is clearly the final fifteen from Aziraphale’s perspective: “all the love we unravel d and the life i have away, ‘cause he was sunshine, i was midnight rain”.

Also peaking through a window is very Aziraphale checking up on Crowley from heaven!!!

Well, there’s definitely more clues and references and little funny details on that playlist, but these were my favorite ones!

What songs do you guys associate with them? Let me know, I need some recommendations!

[ryttu3k]

Pinched from a few people, take if you wish!

How many works do you have on AO3?

97… with my name attached. 97?!

What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,253,678. Welp.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

By kudos? Raining Again is still the champion at 1,908, followed by Memory of Younger Days (1,111!), Tipping Point (1,092, for a fandom I only briefly looked into, still kind of hysterically amused that the only DBH fic I wrote and one of my most popular features a Neil Newbon character long before I ever heard of him), Exhale on 781, and Warm on 757. Neat, four different fandoms over the five (and the two Zelda ones are for different games, Raining Again is OoT and MoYD is BotW).

What fandoms do you write for?

So technically Pokemon is the biggest single fandom at 27, but Ocarina of Time has 23 just on its own, so it's probably collectively the Zelda series on top. Vampire the Masquerade is on 13, BG3 on 10, the Sims on 9. I also have 3 for Doctor Who, 2 for Subnautica, and one each for The Locked Tomb, Welcome to Night Vale, the aforementioned Detroit: Become Human, Tomorrow When The War Began, Star Trek Voyager (which is actually a crossover with OoT), and Mononoke.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to reply to as many as possible! People take the time to comment, I want to take the time to comment back, y'know? And I've genuinely made friends this way!

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

'it was so cute and then you hit me with [spoilers]!!! jail for ryttu3k!! jail for ryttu3k for a thousand years!! ow!'

'This was so enjoyable ….. until the ending punched my heart out and used it as a chew toy.'

'This was so cute and adorable and then you quietly murdered me at the end :('

'this was so good and sweet and funny and lovely and then. and then…. T-T'

'This was lovely and cute and fluffy and I sank right into it. And then. I might have screamed a little. (Howled, really, wounded animal and all that.) I wasn’t expecting that, even though it was entirely fair and justified and frankly a perfect gut punch of a send off. Props to you for pulling it off perfectly. Thanks for writing and sharing!'

Hehe.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

A lot of the rest! One of my most-used tags is 'angst with a happy ending' <3

Do you get hate on fics?

Not to my knowledge!

Do you write smut?

I have, yup.

Do you write crossovers?

I have, mostly within the same franchise? So like, Zelda or Pokemon fics with characters from multiple games. I do have a crossover between Ocarina of Time and Star Trek Voyager, and a Pokemon Hunger Games AU.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Once had someone steal entire complete phrases, unfortunately.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge. Once had someone request to translate something, but they wanted to post it off AO3, so I declined.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nothing ever completed, nope.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

...dangit going with multiple fandoms here XD For Pokemon, it's easily perfectworldshipping. For Zelda… mrngh various permutations of Zelink and/or Shink. For VtM, I can't decide between Sascha/Beckett or Sascha/Ilias so let's go with the OT3. For BG3, I refuse to choose :D

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Man I started a whole thing with Pyre and Aila and I got pretty far into it (around 30k iirc) but it just. Never got completed.

What are your writing strengths?

I like to think I'm good at punching people in the emotions? :D

What are your writing weaknesses?

…consistency?

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

Only done it in little bits (the odd word in Romanian in VtM), always try to provide a translation.

First fandom you wrote for?

Ye olde Star Wars fanfiction back in 1999, written in size 16 purple OCR Extended on my school laptop. I was twelve. It is lost to time and probably a very good thing.

Favorite fic you've ever written?

…Goddamn. You know what, I have 97 to pick from so I'm gonna lowkey cheat and say the Skyline series.

[king-charlie-the-rizzler]

Intro ig

My friend told me to get Tumblr so here I am

Some stuff about me:

My name's Charlie

I'm 17 (so no being weird or I'm blocking your ass)

I'm a bi guy

I honestly don't give a shit about pronouns (gender isn't real chat)

I like poetry, playing the saxophone, Queen, David Bowie, and just glam rock in general (I also fw punk and sometimes new wave)

My favorite artists are obviously Queen and David Bowie, but I also like Billy Idol, Duran Duran, The Clash, and The Ramones (don’t tell anyone but I also vibe to Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, and Chappel Roan but if you tell anyone your ass is mine)

Gingers named Richard Cameron DNI

(OOC: Rules for the RP blog under the cut!!)

General DNI rules (no racism, homophobia, transphobia, just be a decent human being.)

MY pronouns are she/her (I hc that Charlie uses he/they but if you don't hc that you don't have to use them!!)

No extremely smutty stuff (I'm chill with jokes and innuendos, but nothing graphic. I am a minor.)

I'm mainly a Knarlie (and Charginny) shipper, but if you want any other ships I'm open to it! I’ll play any Charlie ship you want :)

I will try and stick as close to canon as I can, but some of my hcs will be included. (this is also obviously a modern AU Charlie, and this blog is more how I think it would be if Charlie had a Tumblr blog!!)

You can also include some of your own hcs!!! I encourage it actually :)

When I'm blogging as Charlie I'll tag it "#king-charlie-the-rizzler talks" and if I'm answering an ask as Charlie it will be "#ask charlie"

Please do not refer to Charlie as 'Nuwanda' in asks or comments/replies. Its racism and cultural appropriation. If you continue to do so after I've corrected you I will no longer respond to you.

Also please no joking about the paddling scene. I don't find that scene funny AT ALL.

(Also, I have a Neil RP blog! @puckster-perry as well as a Todd RP blog @sweaty-toothed-poet and my main blog is @the-deadest-poet :D) (I love receiving asks! I like interacting with you guys)

(If you wanna join in the RP as a character just shoot me an ask on my main blog!)

[wilsons-three-legged-siamese]

This is my first time writing on here!! So please enjoy <3

This is from @i-love-steven-meeks , it was a pleasure to write this :D

"Happy birthday to you! " Charlie screamed as he basically kicked in the door to Meeks and Pitts' dorm room, holding an unusually big gift in his hands.

Meeks jumped, accidentally smudging his pen and groaning.

"Charlie, I appreciate the.. Screeching, but have you heard of knocking? " Meeks said in a monotone, looking all judgemental at Charlie.

"We have, " 5 voices replied in unison.

Meeks softly chuckled and rolled his eyes, getting up from his chair and walking over to the group of giddy boys. Charlie shoved the gift into Meeks' chest in enthusiasm.

"Open it! " He enthused.

Meeks sat down on his bed, making sure the other severely left out boys were in the room. Once all gathered round the strawberry blonde, he started to unwrap the bright pink, sparkly wrapping paper. Meeks giggled as he got a sight of what it was.

"I mean, it was Neil's idea, " Charlie mumbled, gesturing to Neil who was sat cross legged in front.

"It's.. Silly, and funny. I love it, thank you guys. " Meeks smiled brightly and looked at his friends, discarding of the awful wrapping paper and reading the back of the box.

The boys stared at Meeks in anticipation.

"We should totally try one now, " Knox declared, standing up and sitting next to Meeks, getting a good look at the list of experiments.

"I'm not sure that's a great id- " Cameron started.

"Hell yeah, " Pitts interrupted the latter.

Neil glanced at Todd who looked slightly nervous.

"You okay with this? " Neil mumbled, leaning in closer.

Todd smiled softly and nodded.

The group got up and made it over to Meeks' desk, where he opened the box and got out the supplies for elephant toothpaste.

"Right so this is elephant toothpaste- " Meeks tried to explain.

"It's where hydrogen peroxide and yeast make a reacti- "

"Cameron, oh my Lord, please stop being a nerd and let's do this! " Charlie exclaimed with a groan.

Cameron pursed his lips, then pouted, "if this goes wrong, it's your fault, " he muttered.

The rest of the boys watch in awe as Meeks started the experiment. He poured some dish soap into the water and hydrogen peroxide and mixed it thoroughly. He then stirred more water in with yeast, then mixed them together. The group braced themselves but nothing happened.

Meeks cocked his head, "it's supposed to work by now. "

Meeks placed his head over the open bottle to get a better a look. And just as he did that.

It exploded on him.

Knox was the first one to be almost on the floor in a fit of laughter, then followed by Charlie, Todd and Pitts. Neil giggled lightly, Cameron had left at some point.

"Seriously? " Meeks sighed, going to take off his glasses but was stopped.

"Wait a minute! " Neil stopped him and pulled out a random Polaroid camera and snapping a shot.

"This- this is some ludicrous joke, " Meeks grunted, desperately trying to clean his glasses.

Later that evening, Neil and Todd sat on Neil's bed, looking through the scrapbook for a spare page. Neil sniggered, placing the Polaroid of Meeks in there. It was a silly photo. In the background, Knox, Charlie, Pitts and even Todd were red from crying of laughter. Meeks looked almost miserable. But the funniest part was that he couldn't see a thing, his glasses were packed with that toothpaste.

"Wait, write 'it was a blast' at the bottom, " Todd laughed, pointing at the bottom.

Neil laughed with him, taking his pen and writing it on the bottom.

Meeks hated that page of the scrapbook.

BLOODBATH

Yknow what i just realized. CaterpillarOS is, uh, a giant robot caterpillar. Khole is a weird mix of species but yeah there’s no way he’d win that fight. 

Aint no fucking way Neil would loose to a blind girl. She has the power of accuracy but is smaller and younger than Neil. He’d rip her to shreds!!

HOW DID PHINEAS SET KETRILL ON FIRE LMAO

DAY 01

I like to think she read him, ironically, one of the brother’s grimms books. It’d be so funny for various reasons. 

NNOOO MARY 😭 say goodbye to our only licensed nurse everyone…

uuuuhhh something something phineas in the wrong paracosm. insert joke about d//c or para!jervis here.

Interesting team up! No idea why Eddie would work with Loyd since that’s his father and they hate each other. Same with Stacy, she hates Eddie bc that’s her dad. I fully believe Prism and Lucy are being held captive here, folks.

Accurate !!! sorry rosemary BUT ALSO. WOW. I CANNOT OVERSTATE HOW ACCURATE THIS IS OH MY GOD??? GIRL HOW DID YOU LIVE OUT YOUR TALE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE IM SCREAMING. also wow accurate for Neil too. Killing another innocent child, I see. At least this one’s intentional!

Our fallen tributes are: CaterpillarOS, Ketrill Hyde, Mary Crowley, Rosemary Glazier.

NIGHT 01

Bee! Don’t kill the bunny!! But fair lol

Debating on if Neil would keep a victim alive. I think for a little bit, for the psychological torment. He always liked to play with his food. 

That is a VERY tense truce lmao, Stacy hates basically everyone Eddie is associated with, which includes the Crowley Family bc ooo boy, that family is a Certified Mess.

Luce 🤝 Phineas: ripped away from their home at a young age thanks to a random dimension portal. Not the same case here but wow I never noticed that. 

DAY 02

Nothing interesting to note.

Our fallen tributes are: Marzipan Velveteen, Phineas Glazier

NIGHT 02

Khole winning is just…perfect. All 3 have to do with experimentation (Khole & Neil are from the same lab/facility/organization, actually!) but Khole was made first, both in a story context and meta context. So. yeah. Older Sibling Rights.

TWIN TEAM UP HELL YEAH!!!!

Either Orion or Eddie is winning those ghost stories bc Orion knew Aurelia, and she worshiped the god of fear, while Eddie knows Jonathan, Aurelia’s descendant and uses fear in his villain schemes. Then again, Bee is literally a demon, so….

YAY STACY!!! sorry loyd just…sucks lmao fuck outta here

DAY 03

Nothing interesting to note.

ARENA EVENT

Our fallen tributes are: Victor West, Neil O’Brian, Loyd Nixon, Reign Blanc, Orion Guerrero, Luciana Potenza, Khole Banner, Vincent Hyde, Thackery Velveteen. Only 9 people left!

Nothing of interest to note for NIGHT 03.

THE FEAST happens, aka The Cornucopia is refilled.

Nothing interesting to note for DAY 04 & NIGHT 04.

Our fallen tributes are: Benjamin Graves, Lucien Jekyll.

Nothing interesting to note for DAY 05 & NIGHT 05.

DAY 06: Eddie dies by accidentally drinking his own poison. Get wrecked, idiot.

NIGHT 06: Prism bashes Alex’s head in. Get his ass!!

Nothing interesting to note for DAY 07, NIGHT 07, & DAY 08.

NIGHT 08: Stacy poisons Prism. Lucy dies from thirst.

Stacy wins!! Wow. Fucking lame as shit I don’t even like her. Wish she stayed wherever the fuck she was before moving to Prism Pulse. Whatever! Realistically speaking she would’ve been killed way back at that random family reunion thing. Yes, by Eddie. he would’ve killed his own daughter. what of it.

[elizmanderson]

bye I just have to talk about Good Omens for a sec since victoria and I watched S2 this weekend and I'm already rewatching it so I can pay more attention this time bc I know what happens now and am not like. desperate to find out. y'know like when you read a book the first time and you read it really fast and kinda skimmy bc you're just like WHAT HAPPENS NEXT so then the next time you read it you pick up on stuff you missed the first time simply bc you weren't reading carefully bc suspense.

okay anyway there will be spoilers so I'm gonna place a "read more" and also tag. so DO NOT keep reading if you don't want Good Omens S2 spoilers.

okay so I partly want to talk about this on a craft level? bc I was thinking the whole time about OFMD and how like. y'know, it's marketed predominantly as a ~comedy~ but it's a ROMANCE and if you know romantic beats then you recognize that bc you see the romantic beats? and GOS2 felt very much that way, where like I was seeing the romance beats and they made the brain go brrr. like obviously it's not the SAME bc Ed and Stede had never previously met whereas Crowley and Aziraphale have been running around together for millennia, but

Crowley saying to the nebula "you're gorgeous" and Aziraphale being like :D until he realizes Crowley wasn't looking at him

Aziraphale being DEVASTATED when he thinks Crowley has killed the goats and IS going to kill the kids but then being like !!!!!!!!!! when he realizes Crowley actually didn't kill the goats and isn't going to kill the kids

Crowley being the one to understand and offer Aziraphale comfort when Aziraphale thinks he's fallen

the moment you can see Aziraphale realize he's in love with Crowley in that church in 1941, there's the look on his face and ALSO the romantic music at that moment bc he has Realized

Aziraphale afterwards constantly stumbling over "my.......friend" when he has to introduce Crowley to people and isn't sure how to do it because yes they're friends but also it's something other than that to him

Crowley constantly being SO there for Aziraphale without even really realizing he's doing it (like yeah he gets >:[ about it sometimes, like when they argue about helping Jim and he initially says no and then goes back, but he always goes back anyway)

everyone—LITERALLY EVERYONE, heaven, hell, humanity—thinking they're legit a couple and just taking it as accepted fact, like it's not like it's played for a joke (I mean it is FUNNY but it's not the way it is on Supernatural when people assume Sam and Dean are a couple instead of brothers), it's just literally a thing everyone thinks. like Shax is like "I didn't used to believe it [but now I see it's true]" and Nina literally won't accept that they're NOT a thing even as Crowley is actively protesting

THE MOMENT CROWLEY REALIZES after Nina does that, where he's like. wait. WAIT. w a i t . and you can just see his whole universe turning on its axis bc he's never realized BUT NOW HE IS REALIZING AND—

there are more, obviously, but I was mostly focused on the ones BEFORE the romance became. well. I was gonna say explicit but this was all pretty explicit lmao, but I think the moment where Crowley realizes what's up is the moment it gets into territory that makes it much harder for the advertisers to say "besties :)" even though they totally still will.

BUT ALSO!! can I please just shout for a moment about how much I LOVED that like every major couple on the show mirrored Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship?? like from a craft perspective my brain was just going BRR BRR BRR BRR BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR bc I fucking loved the parallelism and especially seeing romantic couples that mirrored them where like, it's the kind of thing where if the network wouldn't LET neil make the queer romance explicit, you'd write that in intentionally to signal to queer viewers, "hey, the network is being a dick about this, but YOU will know that I DO mean for their relationship to be a romance"

but instead we got the signaling AND we got explicit queerness from the MCs (in more ways than just the romance btw which I feel is important to point out, bc while I am overjoyed that we DID get a queer romantic arc and a queer kiss onscreen, the show and these characters would not be any less queer in the absence of this romance) and I just !!!

Elspeth and Morag - you've got the one who does something bad and isn't particularly bothered about it and more importantly does it to keep food on the table (so to speak), and the one who's good and devout and can't stand by the bad thing even if it's to help them (but ultimately does in fact actually go out to help with the bad thing bc the "good" one loves the "bad" one)

Nina and Maggie - more explicit parallel that's MADE very explicit by Nina telling Crowley that he's like her, the kinda jaded cynical one and the one who believes in magic and goodness (and also the one who believes in magic is CLEARLY head over heels in love with the cynical one, while the cynical one hasn't realized how much they like the one who believes in magic lmao)

Beelzebub and Gabriel - okay I mean this one's a gimme bc it is QUITE LITERALLY Crowley and Aziraphale in that it's a demon and an angel that, as it turns out, have been working together and meeting secretly for ages and have gone from supposed enemies to reluctant allies to allies to friends to lovers, with the main difference being that it seems Beelzebub was more obviously in love first in their case lol. CAN I TELL YOU HOW I SCREAMED WHEN GABRIEL MADE THE JUKEBOX ALWAYS PLAY THAT SONG JUST BC BEELZEBUB LIKES IT

anyway 11/10 loved that no notes

okay I actually have more to say bc on the one hand YES the season ended in a DEVASTATING WAY (again a la OFMD—except that Crowley and Aziraphale got to have it out, which somehow is slightly less devastating than Crowley just waiting for an Aziraphale who never shows up—and in fact victoria sent me the below pic today lolsob)

...but I admit I'm a sucker for an angsty kiss, and there was SO MUCH explicit queerness ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE this season and I loved the romantic beats and the parallels between the other couples and Crowley/Aziraphale and the classic Good Omens humor and, well, everything else

like I'm a fan of the book and I loved S1, but S2 is like. like this season was MADE for me. like. that's the good stuff right there

but I'm gonna shut up for now and maybe my thoughts less about craft and more about devastation will be another post lmao

[stabbyfoxandrew]

I like to collect my questions, so I don't spam your askbox every time a random thought pops into my head. Instead, I just do one big spam because apparently I collected way more questions than I expected, ups. The Angel Neil AU is just so cute, I want to grab its (metaphorical) cheeks and squeeze them. It's also sad, and funny, and interesting, and you balance it all in such a nice way. I've also always had a thing for otherworldly beings, so it just all adds to my obsession for this perfect creation. Anyway, here it goes.

Can angels be re-assigned if they don't like their protectee? Like, if they really really hate them. Does Neil ever get cold? Can he just manifest an outfit, or does he have to physically change (could he manifest the angel outfit that Andrew has been daydreaming about hehe)? Can he teleport? For example, if Andrew was in danger and he was far away (i.e. on a roof), would he have to physically walk/fly there? Can he phase through walls? Can Neil see other guardian angels around, or would they also have to "turn off" their invisibility? Does he always have to be within a specific radius of Andrew? How far high has he flown? Does he have to breathe? Has he touched the clouds? Have Aaron, Nicky, and Kevin all talked amongst themselves about Andrew's absences? Or has each one just noticed separately? Has Kevin noticed? If so, what does he think of it? Speaking of Kevin, how is he feeling lately? I hope Kevin has a guardian angel somewhere too, the poor guy deserves it.

I hope it wasn't too much, it was more than I remembered having :') ily too, how is your week going?

Aw hon, you can spam me anytime. But I totally understand saving up questions. Either is fine. <3 By the way, I’m really sorry it’s taken me so long to get around to answering. I literally said to send me questions and then didn’t answer for two weeks. TwT I’m so sorry. orz

Ahh. Thank you for all the compliments! <3 I also have always loved the supernatural. Werewolves, vampires, demons, angels. They’re all such fun creatures to read/write about. :D 

Answers for your questions under the cut because this is almost 900 words and I don't want to block everyone's dashes because most people probably don't care.

Yes, I think that angels could be reassigned! If absolutely necessary. Because imagine changing your charge and the new one is worse! And you’re stuck with this shittier one till it dies? And if you let it die on purpose, you lose your job and stop existing? Like… D: Yikes either way.

But, most angels don’t talk to their charges. They watch from overhead and intervene when they need to. During down time, most angels generally just hang out with other angels. But… Neil doesn’t know that. And even if he did, he’d rather be with Andrew than some random winged bitch. You know?

Neil can and does get cold/hot!

Neil is still wearing the outfit he died in. He could probably use his Angel Powers to create different clothes, but he doesn’t know how. And besides, these clothes are fine. (Me: You died in them, Neil. / Neil: But they’re comfortable.) But yeah! If he really wanted to, nothing is stopping Neil from popping into the mall and stealing some clothes. Like…  he’s stolen before. And he’s invisible now. It would be so easy. He just doesn’t care to.

If Neil asked, Andrew would buy him more clothes and bring them up to the roof. But as we know Neil has a hard time asking for anything. So he won’t. 

Yes. Neil can just PING to Andrew. (Mild spoiler for a much later part of the fic so skip to the next paragraph if you want to avoid! Before they met, Neil wasn’t a great guardian angel. He thought of being an angel as his second chance at life and wandered around doing whatever he wanted. Until he first felt that pull and realized Andrew needed him. And he popped right to him.)

Neil generally just follows Andrew however his human is traveling. If Andrew is walking to class, Neil walks beside him. If Andrew is in a car or on the team bus, Neil sits on top of the vehicle. He’s thought about taking a free seat in the bus, but he’s afraid he’ll accidentally Become Visible and freak Andrew out. So he hasn’t done it yet.

I hadn’t really thought about it, but why not? :) He can be invisible, he should get other Ghost Qualities. So, sure. He can walk through walls, disappear, and fly! (Sorry for the Danny Phantom reference. But not really.)

Neil hasn’t seen any other angels around. He will eventually! (I’m not sure if they’re purposely hiding from him or not.)

He doesn't have to be in a specific radius of Andrew. There's no limit to how far away he can be and he tested it a lot when he was first given to Andrew.

He enjoys flying, but he never strays too far. At least, not since that first Incident. Sometimes when he’s bored out of his mind, he’ll go up, up, up and glide back down until he gets tired of that. But it stretches his wings and he can see all sorts of things from so high up. :) 

Neil does breathe. He probably doesn't have to have to, but it's a habit carried over from his human life so he still does.

He probably flew through some clouds early on. I imagine learning to fly on your own would be difficult, so controlling the Come Down Aspect would’ve been challenging for him.

Oh yeah, I think they’ve all definitely noticed. And Aaron keeps asking the others about it, but they of course have no idea where Andrew’s been going so they just shrug. Kevin also hates that Andrew keeps disappearing, because hello. This man is supposed to be his partner now, at his side and keeping him safe/sane. But he knows that all he has to do is call Andrew and he’ll come back. So he’s not that worried. Nicky thinks Andrew has met someone, either a girlfriend or a friend group, and he’s happy for him. 

Kevin is feeling alright lately. His hand is getting better by the day and the team is… Well, it’s not getting Worse. So he can’t complain too much. Also, he does have a guardian angel. :) 

Oh my god, you’re absolutely fine! <33 Like I said, I want to talk about my fics. I want to answer your questions! It’s fun. And it helps me, you know? Like, I hadn’t really thought about the Nicky/Kevin/Aaron situation before. (Sometimes I forget there are other characters in this fic because it’s usually just Andrew and his angel.) But your question made me think about it. And now I have a new idea for later! :) So thanks. <33 

Also, the past two weeks have been… A blur? Like always. :’) I don’t really know. I mean, I’ve been trying to write more and working on the kevjean vampire thing. And also I’ve been playing a lot of Webkinz, one of my favorite childhood pastimes. So… Yeah. :) I hope you’re doing good! I love you. <333 Thanks for the questions and the patience. <333
