Belatedly answered ask responses

Thank you for anyone who has sent me stuff!! I LOVE reading them and I’m so sorry I’m awful at replying, but know that I love each and every one. Here’s my attempt to answer a whole lot :D

@doki-dream​ Thank you so much for enjoying my DBZ comics!! DBZ was my earliest “fandom”, as it were, from over twenty years ago, and it was so, so special to me as a wee child. I think it’s obvious how heavily I project onto Gohan, haha! But now that I’m an adult, it’s really fun to weave in all these ideas I had as a kiddo into a more seamless interpretation that works with the existing canon. I hope you continue to enjoy my interpretations  <3

@half-devil-in-red-leather​ Thank you so much for sticking around with me for so long!!  :D :D DMC still has a very dear place in my heart, and always will. As for Trunks and Gohan  -- they were my favourite characters, too!! Gohan moreso than Trunks in my case, but I’m awfully fond of all iterations of my purple-haired boy, and someday I’ll get around to drawing all of my Mirai!Trunks headcanons :) Trunks and Goten are fascinating to me as well, because they’re a Unit, yanno? In canon they were rarely seen without the other, and so their development as people is undoubtedly tied together, too. The differences between Mirai!Trunks and main-timeline!Trunks is FASCINATING, and speaks a lot to what are “core” characteristics of Trunks and what are things he’s adapted from his close peers over the years. Anyway, I love Trunks and Goten and Gotenks and rest assured I’ll be posting a lot more about them in the future.

@vejigante​ Unfortunately I still haven’t watched Dragon Ball Super beyond the two movies (Battle of Gods and Broly) so I’m preeetty much out of the loop as to who these guys are. Maybe someday :0

@katerchip​ :D :D :D =happy=

@yusuke96universe​ I don’t exactly take suggestions, mostly because I kinda draw whatever I feel like in any given moment, and drawing something based on someone else’s idea or suggestion is almost always stressful (”what if they don’t like my take” “what if I drew something they find gross” “what if what if what if” etc), but I can safely say I, uhhh, actually don’t know much about Tien??? I’ve skim read the original Dragon Ball manga, but I never watched the original Dragon Ball anime, so Tien is one of those side characters I don’t have a very good grasp on, or, frankly, much interest in. Maybe someday!

@shika-boom​ Fugaku and Shikaku were not friends, per say, but they were always peripherally aware of each other. They’re both clan heirs, for one, so you gotta know who’s who. Shikaku has always been a nosy nin who collects secrets, while Fugaku’s shameful secrets have always been painfully on display, so it’s not like they didn’t butt heads now and again growing up. I talk a little more about the topic here (x).

@darkblades75​ Thank you!! You can read the manga online here (x).

@hydrabellwolf​ Raditz is an interesting character I’m still getting a handle of, in my own interpretation, but I think he essentially has little to no attachment to his birth family and as a kid he probably thought Goku was pampered trash because Gine kept his pod at home. I don’t think Raditz ever made the connection that Gine sent Goku out to save him from the massacre, so I don’t think Raditz realized Gine “spared” Goku and didn’t think about him (Raditz).

Afterward, he only ever remembers Goku might still exist when he realizes he needs someone he can ally with against Nappa and Vegeta (after establishing he’s Alpha Dog, hence him stealing Gohan and talk-posturing at Goku instead of properly fighting from the start), so it’s not so much familial piety as it is convenience because he’s outnumbered and outgunned and outbullied by the only couple other Saiyan survivors.

@wardstoneus That’s a story for another day, and details I probably won’t get super into because I’ve learned my lesson about delving into unnecessarily dark themes in an ambiguously exploitative way. But, yeah, I have lots of Thoughts about Raditz’s distinctive hairline and how that looks more like Vegeta than it does Bardock, and how exactly that could’ve gone about.

It was not a consensual thing :/ Gine had a rough life, and not just because she was weak and also not very Saiyan like. Bardock married her to protect her after she was pregnant, and he got demoted to low class because of it. (That’s how I explain to myself how Bardock was apparently super fucking strong and yet inexplicably deemed low class).

@loyaltykask​ Tbh the only other Sakumo ship I find mildly interesting is Sakumo/Tsunade (you can kinda tell why I drew them together in the Five comic in the first place xDD), but, naturally, my take on Sakumo and the Sakumo that gets shipped with Orochimaru in fandom are very different characters with very different pasts that made them that way :’D So if I separate my take and just take fanon Sakumo as it is, there’s lots of interesting fics with him and Orochimaru and such. I don’t tend to read them though, because Orochomaru is never in character (as I interpret him, anyway), and that can be tiring XD

@pretty-rage-machine​ Thank you!!! I’m sorry (not sorry) that I jump around fandoms so much, my creative brain is stupid and it latches onto new things every 2-6 months without control and I’ve learned to just go with the flow, it allows me to create faster and better works if I let myself explore whatever topic has captured my interest at any given moment instead of forcing it to stick to one thing. Luckily, I am not a professional artist; if you are, don’t do this xDDD Maintaining discipline and motivation beyond personal whim is important in any job!!

That being said, yay!! I’m glad you like my stuff regardless of how much knowledge you have of the canon I’m messing with. Hearing my characterizations are grounded and relatable makes me happy <3<3

@poly-hebdo​ Thank you!!! :D :D Once again, I apologize for jumping fandoms like the attention deficit fella I am, but I’m glad you’re still digging my works regardless of the fandom!

@jkl-fff​ Ahh thank you, friend!! (Side note reply: I watched DBZ:A yeeears ago, and I have to rewatch it again STAT because I actually have gotten mentioned by MasakoX (voice of gohan and goku in DBZA) a couple of times now, once in one of his videos and twice on his twitter feed, so I’m like HOLY SHIIIIT!!!! because that’s some Senpai-Noticed-Me shit and eeeeeeek).

It may be obvious by now but I HEAVILY project onto Gohan, he was basically my mental self-insert as a wee lad, so my characterization of him is heavily tinged by that selfish nostalgia; part of the reason I’ve been drawing these comics is to seamlessly integrate that mental image of Gohan I have living in my brain to the actual existing canon, to make him a plausible version of Gohan that can exist between the pages. From that, a fascinating little narrative has been born and I’ve been having fun detailing out the characters that exist around the Gohan I’ve created :D Thank you for enjoying my hot take on it!!

And YES LAWD I am all for bisexual Gohan, he and Dende were totally a cute first romance thing as teenagers, though naturally it had to come to an end as they moved on with their lives -- Dende to proper ascetic Godhood, and Gohan to a more normal human highschool life. Maybe someday I’ll get into the nuanced complexities of that, though I probably won’t post it to twitter, where the audience there seems to crave more canon straight stuff than any wistful doomed gay sideplots (that seems more a Tumblr thing). Ahhhh so many ideas, so little time XDD

[missholoska]

Have you ever considered making your own Underfell interpretation? Seeing how neat your Underswap is, I can only imagine what an Underfell from you would be like!

sgfdfkjh man it really means the world to me that anyone is interested in my ideas :’>

I do have some headcanons and concepts for Underfell floating around actually! it’s nowhere near as developed as my Underswap stuff though, mostly just ideas for the skelebros and Fell Soriel. as much as I’d like to expand on other characters I’ve never been any good at forcing ideas, so I’m just waiting until if/when the inspiration hits.

anyway seeing as you asked and I can’t guarantee when I’ll get to sharing these ideas through art, I’ll dump some rambles here:

I am super not a fan of Underfell when it’s just Only Angst and everyone is irredeemably abusive to each other. I enjoy AUs more when they retain some of Undertale’s charm and personally I don’t see that in those versions of Underfell.

My preference is the monsters are mostly wanna-be evil dorks who still have the capacity to be good deep down somewhere, but you gotta dig real far through the angst to find the kindness. Of course a lot of monsters even in Undertale were pretty devoted to a) murdering a child or b) just being kind of a jerk so obviously that’s gonna get multiplied in Underfell, but if everyone’s only personality trait is I Hate Everyone Around Me I get bored of it pretty quickly.

Post-pacifist mostly consists of the monsters trying their best to be good people who deserve to be on the surface, but they’re still… pretty terrible at being nice. But they’re trying and Frisk is good at encouraging everyone.

some more character-specific ideas:

Underfell Papyrus (nicknamed Crow):

Actually loves and respects Sans because I am not even remotely here for abusive Fell bros >:| (and I hope it goes without saying that I mean platonic, familial love) He’s only stern to his brother out of fear for his sake and to give him some direction when he needs it.

Despite the world he lives in and the attitude he puts on, like UT Papyrus he doesn’t have a truly cruel bone in his body. Not that he’s a doormat to the more aggressive monsters out there or that it stops him from having fun being the villain, at least until Frisk comes along.

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my headcanon that UT Papyrus’ glowy eye colours are integrity blue and kindness green in both eyes (though I did draw Swap Sans like that once), but Crow’s only glowy eye colour is green. He probably doesn’t show this to anyone (besides Sans) until post-pacifist when kindness is hip and trendy again though.

Also I like to try and retain some things from the original Underfell canon (what little of it is known at least), so he loves evil puns like this post mentions, and of course he annoys Sans with them for some fun role reversal :D

Underfell Sans (nicknamed Crimson):

Has a Level Of ViolencE of 2, which he gained in his pre-teens defending himself and Crow. His stats are slightly higher than UT Sans’, but still very very low.

His left eye glowing red most of the time doesn’t represent a trait (a lot of monsters probably have red-coloured magic) - his actual bad time eye colour is justice yellow in his right eye.

Again from the official Underfell blog, he hates puns but loves knock knock jokes (and other non-punny jokes). Honestly an ‘evil’ Sans hating puns seems more fitting anyway.

Tries to keep everything bottled up but is much worse at holding it together than UT Sans. Also he’s a gigantic tsundere but when shown genuine affection (familial, platonic or romantic) he kinda just melts into a tired sappy potato, and then later denies it all.

I’ve shown this before but he blushes blue and hates how it destroys his aesthetic so, so much

Underfell Toriel (nicknamed Toreve):

I think her nickname sounds really pretty but it has the worst origin it’s literally just “Toriel” and “evil” mashed together without the L sound….. oTL;;

Likes being creepily affectionate to people for her own amusement. In the rare event said affection is reciprocated, her former evil queenly attitude flares up and pushes them away, even if she genuinely likes that person.

There’s only two canon details in this post about Fell Toriel but they’re both very good (even if she mostly makes meat pies, I like to think secretly she still has a sweet tooth for good ol’ butterscotch cinnamon)

In post-pacifist when monsters are trying to learn how to Talk About Their Feelings More™, she confesses to Crimson first~

This isn’t relevant to any actual character development but I made a sim of her in sims 4 over a year ago and she doesn’t have a job so she just wanders her creepy vampire mansion drinking wine and playing organ music all day, and I think that summarises her pretty well

Underfell Frisk (no nickname yet):

When they first fall into the Underground they’re more fearful than UT Frisk, but very determined to stay alive. By the end of their journey and in post-pacifist they have much less patience for everyone’s angsting and if gently encouraging monsters to be nice doesn’t work, they’re not afraid to sass them.

Basically the entirety of monsterkind has a 7 year old life coach/therapist and it’s my big favourite

NarraChara is also a thing but I don’t have a solid idea on their personality yet

My ideas for the Underfell version of the UT Fankid Trio timeline (13 years on from post-pacifist) are very scattered but I think growing up around a bunch of edgelords Frisk would be both sick of their hot topic fashion sense and also kind of embracing it? So they’d end up with something like a pastel goth aesthetic by the time they’re a young adult. and they probably have a scene phase in their teens

At the End of the Rainbow by Crimson1

Just as Captain Cold is being taken into custody after a foiled heist, the Rainbow Raider manages to put the whammy on Flash. He whisks Cold away to a secluded warehouse intent on taking his rage out on him, when his anger leads to confessions of other things he'd like to do to Cold, and Cold decides to encourage that to save his skin. Better than getting his face smashed in. Much, much better.

Fear Effect by Crimson1

Rainbow Raider has learned to instill more than just rage in his victims, so when Captain Cold gets hit with paralyzing fear, it's up to The Flash to save him, and then comfort him in the aftermath.

Ongoing series of various ways Bivolo whammying someone with a particular emotion leads to sex.

[Explicit] [8,586 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

My Barry by Crimson1

When another Snart falls out of a dimensional rift unconscious, of course Barry has to save him. He just doesn't expect this Snart to be so different, or for the way he says 'my Barry' when talking about his universe to make Barry so very, very curious.

[Not Rated] [2,915 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

His Barry by Crimson1

Direct sequel to My Barry, per reader request.

Len starts receiving regular visitations from a certain Barry Allen, who seems to want more than just to save his soul, maybe...to get to know him, with the subtle flirtations Len often dismissed before seeming more plausible. Thus canon events turn out slightly differently with Jesse, Mardon, and Christmas in Central City, and Len eventually meets Earth-3 Len and Barry, which has the opposite affect on him as it did Barry because he's certain he can never be what his Barry wants.

[General Audiences] [3,252 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Spellbound by Crimson1

After a meta (or magic user, Barry isn't entirely sure) whammies him to play out his most secret desires, without having any control over his body or his words until he fulfills that, he is understandably surprised that he winds up at Leonard Snart's door.

[Not Rated] [7,133 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Everyday Kinks by Crimson1

Len ponders loneliness watching his sister get closer to Cisco, only to receive company and an offer from The Flash he never expected. Or, Barry gives Len a backrub after a mission

[Teen And Up Audiences] [1,741 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Silhouette by Crimson1

Barry takes advice from Iris and Cisco to defeat Cold in a whole new way - by being a better thief. Donning a new persona and costume, Barry becomes Silhouette, the best thief in Central, who consistently beats Captain Cold to his heists, stealing the loot out from under him (while secretly having made a deal with the proprietors, and returning the loot later). Cold isn't sure if he's upset by this new player targeting him...or intrigued. Eventually, the truth comes out.

[Explicit] [12,839 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Veritas by Crimson1

Len gets hit with a truth spell while helping Barry take care of a wayward sorceress. Spending an entire day at S.T.A.R. Labs with Cisco and Caitlin to figure out how to undo the spell, and eventually spending the evening with Barry, pulls more confessions from Len than he ever thought possible - especially when his biggest secret is his larger than life crush on a certain Scarlet Speedster.

[Teen And Up Audiences] [7,287 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

You Make Me Swoon by Crimson1

When Barry rushes home to eat something after almost passing out on the job, finding nothing in his cupboards or fridge to help him is the absolute last straw. Lately, it's just been too much, and he collapses in tears and barely controlled consciousness. The last thing he expects is for Leonard Snart to come walking into his kitchen after him.

[General Audiences] [1,038 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Never Call Me Leo by Crimson1

Leo is what Lewis called Len. Fine when he was a child, but the name roils in his gut to hear as an adult, especially after his father's death and traveling through time. When a man from his father's past uses the name, everything in Len snaps, and it takes Mick and Barry to rein him in and help him heal in the aftermath. For Barry, it seems there might be something more than respect for his nemesis that draws him to Len's defense.

Spoilers for Legends episode Blood Ties.

[Teen And Up Audiences] [3,785 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Like a Natural Disaster by Crimson1

When Captain Cold sacrifices himself to kill Zoom, he rises from his seeming demise as a meta human. As Barry seems to be the only source of heat that comforts Snart, and the only one unaffected by the chill of his touch, what builds between them with the connection of their powers is like nothing either could have expected.

[Mature] [9,185 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Only Tease If You Promise To Deliver by Crimson1

Barry, in a stroke of mischief after accidentally copping a feel of Snart's ass, starts messing with the man at high speeds on purpose to see if he can get a reaction from him. Snart, while seeming flustered by the attention, is not going to let this go unpunished. He comes up with a trap...and Barry finds himself at the mercy of Captain Cold.

Tumblr prompt: Barry's super speedy sexual harassment.

[Explicit] [2,832 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

We Cannot Meet Death Better by Crimson1

“Someone else should be here,” Barry said with a frown. “You’re a hero.”

Snart snorted, cocking an eyebrow at Barry as if they were back in 2024, maybe even back in 2014 when everything started. “You expecting a parade for the death of Captain Cold? All things considered with the Justice League, kid, I’m not all that memorable.”

“You are to me.”

Barry wakes up after being stuck in the Speed Force for forty years because of the crisis of 2024 to find that almost everyone he loves is dead. After seeing Iris and Snart, he decides to go back in time to change things. What he doesn't expect is just how differently a life he decides to lead.

[Mature] [10,738 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

The Immaculate Barry Allen by Crimson1

Barry is cursed to lose his powers until he loses his virginity. Sounds like a job for Captain Cold.

OR

AU with everything being the same except no Earth-2 or Zoom, just normal Flash business Barry has been dealing with since the Singularity.

Legends still happened, and Len was found soon after the Oculus explosion adrift in time, and is now ‘on leave’. To pass the time, he’s decided to get back to his roots by robbing a few places.

Barry is not amused. He’s also a virgin. But no one’s supposed to know that. Except that the meta of the week (or witch? Barry doesn’t even know) seems to be able to look right into his soul and see that he’s never had sex. She also thinks it’s funny, apparently, to curse him to lose his powers until he does something about it.

Enter Snart. Which is definitely a very bad (very good?) idea.

[Explicit] [11,073 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Hands-On Stimulation by Crimson1

When Barry runs to the Legends for some time away from the mess he's made of the timeline, an accident robs him of the use of his legs, but a special balm and a volunteer to apply it are all it will take to help him walk again.

Len, who remembers every version of the timeline Barry created thanks to his time in the Oculus, is only too happy to take one for the team, if only to have the chance to touch Barry again, like he had in one of the lost timelines Barry changed.

Neither are being honest, and both want something they don't think they can say.

*Canon-divergent, but more or less in line with this season.*

[Mature] [5,944 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Ride like Lightning, Crash like Thunder by Crimson1

Barry has finally given up on ever meeting his soulmate. He just wants a night to forget. Saints and Sinners seems like the perfect place and has nothing to do with possibly running into Leonard Snart.

[Mature] [8,920 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Vertigo by Crimson1

Len didn’t know how he got into these messes with Barry.

Only of course he did. He was the one who chose to go out into the field every time because he didn’t trust Barry to play hero without delving back into his villainous ways. He was the one who’d blackmailed a thief into being a hero in the first place.

[Mature] [6,856 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Out Cold by Crimson1

Captain Cold's plan for a bit of fun with his nemesis results in more than he bargained for when a head wound from dashing to Flash's rescue leaves him without any memories of who he or The Flash is. As Barry nurses Len back to health, both of them quickly start to hope that he never remembers being Captain Cold as the attraction they feel for each other turns into something more without the pitfalls of being enemies to stand in their way.

AU with everything having happened up to the Season 1 finale, except Eddie shot Eobard instead of himself, killing him, and the singularity didn’t happen.

[Mature] [ 200,156 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

Timeless by Crimson1

A voice in the Speed Force reaches Barry in his Timeless state to convince him to come home. Barry misses that voice once he’s back in real-time, but he has to set things right and save as many lives as he can.

While that means Iris will be with Eddie instead of him, he can’t mourn her. She’ll always be dear to him, but he wants her to be happy above all, and he has seen every timeline and knows the life and love he will get to have instead. He just needs to keep fighting to finish his calculations in time to defeat Eobard and return to his loved ones for good.

Thankfully, a certain thief brings clarity like no one else can.

AU season 1 with Barry from pre-season 4.1 returning from the Speed Force to the moment he woke up from his original coma.

[Explicit] [59,824 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

The Color of Love by Crimson1

Len gave up on love a long time ago. In the aftermath of the Oculus explosion, when an old flame comes back to haunt him, he just wants something normal to distract him from it all. He never expected that two of his favorite things—a heist and the Scarlet Speedster—could end with him drowning in the very emotion he spurned.

OR Rainbow Raider strikes again – Len gets hit with LOVE.

[Mature] [157,217 Words] [Read on AO3 here]

A Model Escort by Crimson1

Barry Allen just got out of a long-term relationship he wants to forget. Lucky for him, his new career in Star City allows him to start over hundreds of miles from his ex. The only problem is...he's lonely and terrible at starting new relationships. He just wishes that part of his life could be easier.

Leonard Snart is an escort for Nick of Time Escort Service. He is especially picky about the clients he takes on, but lately, he's felt like something is missing from his life. He doesn't usually take on regulars looking for companionship more than sex, but the right client might be able to change his mind.

OR

Len is an escort and Barry needs someone to hold him - no powers AU.
