having a fun brain glitch where I don't want spoilers for bg3 because I want to play it myself but I'm fully aware that even if I drop the sixty dollars my computer doesn't have the space to install it or the specs to run it so I'm thinking about bg3 on loop but if I look at playthrough videos I get Sad

#16 for the writer questions!

After rifling through my folders I have decided the answer is properly working on four with a fifth that I really enjoyed rereading yesterday.

In order of how Consumed With Them I am...

Princess' Son/Your Eyes Aren't Rivers There To Weep (The Witcher, Renfri's son!Jaskier; very consumed but very little progress)

Alianora!Eleanor (The Sandman; survived my initial burst of productivity, so actually stands a chance of getting finished)

And They Were Fishbowl Roommates (The Sandman, Hob and Dream together; is still technically in the initial burst of obsession so it could still fail but it's been a few days so it might survive)

Giles!Hob (B:tVS/Sandman; doing one of those things where I'm wrapping it pretty closely around the skeleton of the show (Buffy) so it's slow going as I check transcripts and decide what changes to make)

Sandman Portal AU (Sandman/Portal; not consuming me but I had enough fun rereading it to want to go back to it)

Mmmmmmm let's expand on the Portal AU because it's the least likely to see the light of day anytime soon :P

Basically all of Aperture is the fishbowl/circle, and Hob deliberately volunteers for the testing program to mount a rescue mission after Jessamy went to come get him. In the current draft he's having some memory problems from the suspended animation, though. Dream is GLaDOS and has her lines pretty directly, but I'm also incorporating a plot point that Dream has to answer direct questions, in part just to make it easier on verbose protagonist Hob and in part as a thing Roderick programmed in to spite Dream for his years of silence.

I haven't actually planned the Portal 2 parts yet but I have done a fair bit of daydreaming, but I keep waffling on whether I want Wheatley to be Matthew. It seems like it would make a lot of sense, but I just. Can't make Matthew be evil/drunk with power, I just can't :( But like a whole bunch of my Portal 2 thoughts are just revolving around the crow's nest scene and how Jessamy would be so glad to see Dream relatively safe and coddling him and by then Hob has recovered his memories and laughs at him a little and Jessamy tags along with them as a companion throughout all Portal 2.

Oh!!!!!! And Dream's body is still being held in Old!Aperture in the fishbowl and so that's on Jessamy and Hob's agendas and I haven't decided yet if they should be open with GLaDOS!Dream or if the poor potato-guy gets left in the dark.

I've been trying to put a fresh coat of paint on Once and Future Spy for a while now and I've made a start. This may change again so that's why it's not going to AO3 yet wheeeeee

Merlin’s fingers rapped along the keys, his eyes unfocused somewhere past his computer screen, echoing the magic that was spread through the system, looking for any obvious flaws in their security.

“You asked to see me?” He blinked, suppressing a millennium-old flinch. He focused on Bond and a frown tugged at the corners of his lips.

“Yes, 007, I did.” He folded his hands across his desk and just let his stare sit. The illusion he favored at the moment didn’t quite have the stature for it, but he let his age drive it. For a few moments, Bond bore it with stoicism, but then he twitched his eyebrows upwards.

“Do you have something to say to me, Quartermaster?” Merlin bit back a sigh.

“Perhaps you ought to stay out of Q-Branch until you’re called.”

“Is this some new rule I’m not aware of?” His attention was already drifting to the prototypes. Damn him. Merlin stood up, drawing his eyes back, but only for a moment.

“Are you aware of how you affect my team when you loiter?”

The corner of Bond’s lips tugged up. “I make your minions a bit nervous, do I?”

“You’ve trained to kill for years, I imagine you make a number of people in this office nervous.” Bond turned back to him, eyebrows up again.

“Do I, Q?” Oh, fuck, but that purr went straight to places it shouldn’t. “What about you?”

He couldn’t help but snort. “Dream on.”

That did seem to throw him off a bit. He straightened up. “You could show me a little respect.” His tone was pleasant enough, despite the complaint.

“Ah. Yes. Excuse me. Dream on, agent.”

To his surprise, Bond huffed out a chuckle. On the bright side, he did seem to have fully captured Bond’s attention, now. On the other hand, he was suddenly unsure that was a good thing.

“When are you off?”

“I’m sorry?”

Bond nodded, his expression briefly flashing to something apologetic. “I’m tempted to ask you to meet me in the gym. See if you can back up that attitude with anything.”

Now, Merlin’s strength still wasn’t anything stellar. But all the chores he tried to keep doing the old way and the sword he’d kept for the sake of all the knights’ work on him meant he was a far cry from the boy of sixteen summers who’d first gotten into a fight he couldn’t hope to win.

“Hand-to-hand?” He asked warily.

“With. Anything.” Bond repeated, staring into his eyes. Merlin shivered.

“I’ll see you at seven,” he blurted.

“Seven, then.” There was the purr again. Bond pulled back, and had the decency to leave Q-Branch entirely. Hopefully that would cut down his subordinate’s stress levels and head off an anxiety attack or two. Merlin’s pulse rushed as he considered whether giving in to the temptation to bring his flail was wildly unfair, or the only way to guarantee an even playing field.

“Rex, Architect help me, if you don’t give me a name right now, we’re calling him Adam.”

“Would that be such a bad thing?” Rex wheedled. Mythra had been least shy in her appetites, but she was an easy leader to follow. She was more than aware she was about to set a tone.

“I don’t know, would it be bad to name him after Zeke?” Which Mythra clearly meant to be rhetorical in a particular direction, but -

Rex scratched at his chin. “I mean, d’you want me to be honest with you?”

Mythra grabbed blindly at the bedside table, coming away with an empty baby’s bottle. She reeled back. Rex threw his hands up.

“He’s taught me a lot, love! C’mon, I’m not an idea guy, I’m the brawn-and-smiles guy!”

Mythra continued to glare, but she also continued to hold onto the bottle. Rex kept smiling and holding his hands in the air. Slowly, she lowered the bottle, looking back at the bundle in her other arm.

“So it’s either Adam, or we rip off one of Zeke’s names?”

“Seems so.” Rex dared to come up alongside the bed and look with her. “You got a preference?”

“Could be funny to see Zeke’s face.” Mythra’s face was doing a complicated thing - the face of ‘I wish I could hide behind Pyra right now’ with a smile slapped on top. Rex squeezed her shoulder.

“Yeah, he probably thought his other options sounded lame, huh? Ozzie von Genbu, bringer of boredom?”

Mythra snorted, and he soared inside. She tilted her head, her eyes flickering as she presumably mulled over the rest of his name.

“I’m thinking…Bruno.”

“Ah, the middle bit, that’s nice! I was still stuck on Ozychlyrus. Was gonna suggest Clyde.”

“Nope. Too late. You snooze, you lose. I’m attached, now. Bruno.” She said the last part soft and certain, like it was more for the baby’s sake than Rex’s. He melted, curling in close around them. It was easy to forget, for a moment, that he’d lined himself up for two more rounds of this within the month.

I keep making strongly worded posts about how horrifying I find it that Hob Gadling is probably a Nightlight Person and then remembering that lots of real people are Nightlight People and deleting it all.

I have put duct tape over all my LED indicators, I throw clothes over my laptop’s standby light (honestly the blinking is worse than the steady ones) and I am getting desperate for a blackout curtain and there aren’t even any lights within like. Thirty+ feet of my window. Also sometimes I crave silence for sleep.

This bitch would need banked fires for sleeping warmth for how many centuries? And even banked fires make noise, right? This man uses noise machines and nightlights if we had a sleepover I would be trying to smother him.

3, 17 & 18 for the ask thing? 😁

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

(Oh jeez this one feels like a doozy cuz even stuff I love I tend to take Long Breaks between re-reads/watches but I do have Stuff I've Rewatched Most) Coco, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Prince of Egypt

17. name 3 things that make you happy

I'm gonna count my two kittens as one! Then let's go with singing along to musical theater albums, especially with other people. And fandom encounters in the wild. Love seeing a button/pin/cosplay/stealth cosplay I recognize.

18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?

Sometimes I'm wishy-washy about it. I've seen debunks for ghosts, and I appreciate it when ghost shows go for debunks first and it annoys me when obvious debunks are ignored, but I think in the end I do believe in ghosts. On the other hand, I don't think that my heart of hearts believes in aliens, but I'm on the fence between 'it seems so improbable that in a universe so big, we are the only life of our kind' and 'the universe is still so relatively young that we may just be the first (but that still means we're alone)'.

*pushes my Hazbin doc titles at y'all*

Adding Words to these is escaping me but maybe talking about them would help? Anybody wanna ask me about them?

Alastor Discovers WTNV

Stalled out for logistics reasons (either I couldn't decide how they were getting Earth media or felt I was underestimating how much Alastor has picked up about modern tech against his will)

Alastor Forced to Wrangle Tweens

I got hyper-aware that three of our main cast lived through the 20s and I like time travel, lol I think I just ran out of dopamine to chase here, but there was gonna be a thing where Angel and Husk attempt to summon Lucifer partly to see if he can put them back where they're supposed to be, partly to piss Alastor off.

Charlie v the 20s

Really similar to the above, but starts differently and has more than just the main cast remembering. Specifically, I had a bit of dialogue between Angel and Alstor's Mom occur while I was driving and wrote around it when I got home.

Helluva-Hazbin-Grand-Reopening

I just wanna mash them all together like action figures but writing the introduction has eluded me. Probably I just need to skip forward but I haven't tried yet. Main vehicle for the smashing together is: Blitz and Stolas are invited to the Grand Reopening separately (by Fizz and Charlie). Vague intention to set it after Stolas has given Blitz the crystal, so there are two angles I could write it from - so far I've only tried it on the 'they pulled their heads out of their asses' angle.

Molly Charlie ep 6 Meeting

This predated the Pentious fic, so they share some vibes, but I could see them being different if I expanded this one properly.

Pentious-Molly thing

The Pentious fic! I've made four drafts for the third installment but it isn't budging. I probably just need a new angle but I desperately wanna bring Alastor's Mom into the fic. Then again, I did imply in the first installment that his parents were in Heaven and then didn't touch that again, so maybe I aim for that instead. Or address how self-conscious I'm becoming of the fact that Heaven has the ability to contact Hell. I kinda wanted Hell to be oblivious to redemption but that's not super in-character for Emily. I guess Sera could block her... (can you tell I've worked on this one the most, lol? This post itself may be acting as a Coding Duck to help me start working on stuff again, we'll see. I'll still take questions if you've got some tho ❤️️ I'd love especially if there's anything you'd like to know about the drafts that may be DOA)

Why Am I So Bad at GC Fics

I dunno if it's the dialogue-only, the screen-names, the jokey atmosphere, or what, but I am in fact bad at group chat fics so this one may never happen even if I have really good ideas. ANYWAY! I wanted to do something with Vox being more powerful than anyone (even he) knew, and Hell's cell signals reach all the way to Heaven and they find out Pentious is redeemed when he responds to the group chat. I also love me some Alastor but would be forced to exclude him for OOC reasons. Maybe I could have him reading over Niffty's shoulder or something...

Wanna write but specifically for sandman and brain is refusing to brain on existing products but the idea of Starting A New One only to not finish it is uhhhhhhh Bad

[10moonymhrivertam]

*vibrating rapidly * I just skimmed warchcartoon to catch up on Miraculous and WOW is there a LOT going on and HOLY SHIT, sentimonster Adrien is looking more likely by the episode. It would make a sick amount of sense why he cares about even Nathalie more than Adrien :( cuz he can just. Make another, more obedient Adrien :(

1776 is probably deeply problematic, especially in light of the more balanced Hamilton, BUT YOU CAN NEVER STOP ME SHIPPING JOHN/ABIGAIL

IS THERE ANY SONG BETTER THAN COMPLIMENTS IN TERMS OF WARM AND FUZZY FEELS??

I DON”T THINK SO
