I recently got into Lookism, and now that I read all of it I went to search for fics here. I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely adore how you write them all. Specially Gun. I liked him before but your writing made me appreciate the man a lot more, now I'm giggling like a school girl 😭💜 I also love your characterization of Goo, Vasco, Jake, Samuel, Yuseong (I find your writing of him very sweet!)... Everyone, really. Considering how drama heavy the comic is, I appreciate a lot the fluffiness, and I love how you manage to keep them in character while being soft. I'm going to keep reading your work and look forward for your future ones.

Sorry for the long text, and English isn't my first language so apologies if I didn't explain myself too well. Love your work, thanks a lot for sharing your writing with us!

OUWGHH,,,.,, ANON THIS IS SO SWEET........ SOBBING MY EYES OUT .. also dont worry about the long text, and your english is just fine !! <3

im glad u like my characterizations so much!!! its always so reassuring to hear people enjoy the way i soften them but dont make them ooc T_T 💕💕 (also welcome to the gun fanclub <3 ngl it was fanfics and stuff on here that made me rlly fall for him too so now i find it funny that im the person who has made someone else convert 😭😭)

Blanca and Roberto, “You are what’s important now.”

So this takes places when Roberto and Blanca are older teenagers-young adults and aren't dating yet

Roberto was kicking the ball at full speed. Ten meters. Five meters. Two. He jumped, but instead of reaching the hoop he felt the ground come closer and a sharp scream force its way out of his chest as he fell.

"Roberto!"

He pulled his right leg to his chest, closed his eyes shut and pursed his lips to stop another scream of pain.

"Roberto are you okay?" He felt a hand on his arm and slowly opened his eyes.

"Blanca?" He wheezed through gritted teeth. "I had no idea you're in Avalor City?"

"And I had no idea your ankle has healed already." There was a reproach hidden behind her eyes and in her voice that made Roberto's gaze fall to the ground.

"It was better," he mumbled, knowing there was no fooling her.

"Oh so you decided to make it worse again?" She snapped.

Roberto didn't answer. Blanca sighed.

"Can you stand up?"

Roberto hesitated.

"Sure I can, I just... need to catch my breath. I'll be right up. And back to the training," he said finally, not looking her in the eye.

Blanca shook her head.

"Stay here - and don't move." She shot him a warning glance and ran out of the stadium.

Roberto waited a moment and once he was sure she couldn't see or hear him anymore, he let out a loud groan and fell to his back. He was still clutching his ankle and he could already feel it swelling up. He let out another shaky breath and wanted to shout in pain and frustration - but the only words coming to his mind weren't ones he wanted to risk Blanca hearing.

Suddenly he perked up, hearing her come back, and tried to stand up.

"Wait!" She called, runnimg up to him. She gave him her hand to help him catch his balance and then gave him a long, thick branch. "Here, I know it's no crutches but it should do for now."

"Thanks." Roberto sent her a smile.

"Now come on, I'll walk you home," she continued.

"But-" Roberto wanted to argue but Blance had already picked up her bag, she dropped earlier to help him, and started towards the gate. He shook his head and sighed (to hide his smile). He picked up his ball and as quickly as he could, limped her way - he knew any resistance was pointless anyway.

Once he caught up to her, Blanca slowed down, so he wouldn't strain his leg even more, and for a long while they walked in silence. Finally she spoke up again.

"So are you going to tell me why did you suddenly become so stupid or do you want me to guess?" She kept her gaze locked on the road before them, but Roberto could feel that she was irritated.

He chuckled to let the edge down a little.

"Ouch, stupid, really?" He tried to take on his best pained expression - although it's not like he wasn't actually in pain. "You know an olaball player must always keep in shape."

"In shape?!" Blanca stopped and faced him. "And what shape is that? One legged cripple?!"

Alright, maybe she was more than irritated.

"Oh come on, there's a match in a few months, I just wanted to practice a few new tricks."

Blanca didn't answer but her eyes were saying more than she would dare to say out loud, and he, for one, was glad she didn't.

Roberto looked at the ground.

"Come on Blanca, you know I can't let down my team..." he added quietly.

"And you think you'll be of much help if you won't be able to even walk?" There was still an edge in her voice but it had regained some of its usual softness. "Who cares about the match," she put a hand to his chest. "You're what's important now."

She quickly took her hand back when she noticed a bright red blush on Roberto's face - probably equal to her own.

"Your team would probably say the same," she said adjusting her bag on her shoulder. "Now come on, we need to take you home"

Roberto stood frozen for a moment more before shaking his head and picking up his limping pace to keep up with her.

"Hmm you know I'll probably need some first aid too..." he said with a wide grin.

I won't lie, that was difficult XD But I think it came out quite well and I might even have a little better idea for their relationship now...

I am tragically busy rn which is ANNOYING because I have a fic that’s been sitting at 98% finished for FIVE DAYS

[tetrakarn]

IM GOING TO JUMP HOLY SHIT ????!?!?!!?!

[lunarlesbeing]

Ughhhh so way back at the end of last year I went for a regular check in with my psychiatrist and she was concerned about my heart rate being really rapid so that office basically just set me up the same day with the first regular doctor they could find that had an opening, I ended up wearing a heart rate monitor for a week and it confirmed that I have frequent racing heart but it’s otherwise normal rhythm. She changed me to a different medication (both the old and new meds are non-stimulant options for ADHD) to see if it was a side effect from the other one and nothing changed so she’s told me the last few times I’ve seen her that I should schedule a follow up just to check in on it again. (I’m hoping once I do I can get the clear to go back on the other med because it worked better and I really don’t think it was ever a factor with my heart tbh, I'm just anxious as fuck and also have hEDS/dysautonomia)

I’ve been putting it off because I’ve been super overwhelmed just in general (and also the new med doesn't do as much for executive dysfunction which doesn't help) but finally went to schedule something today. I actually was thinking of just seeing the same doctor as last time for the sake of continuity (and I don't normally like male doctors but he was actually pretty chill) but could only find him currently listed for a center a few towns over (my local hospital has a bunch of connected offices and it’s one of them but further than I was hoping to drive if I can avoid it) so I figured I’d try first with the doctor I’ve seen for other things in the past. But when I called they said she was booked up and I was like “yeah that’s fine I haven’t seen her in awhile” and agreed to see someone else with more availability.

But then when they asked what the appointment was for they were apparently super confused by my explanation (probably because of how much time has passed tbh) and ended up putting me on hold while they tried to figure it out and then said they’d call me back when they got more details from my psychiatrist and the other doctor I saw (who apparently might actually be practicing at the main center but just wasn’t listed there? Which would make things easier but it wasn’t really clear) about what they actually wanted me to do but I never heard back from them before the end of the day so…hopefully they call me back tomorrow? Ugh it sucks though, I get so much phone anxiety even under the best of circumstances so this is literally like my nightmare scenario, I had to have a stress cry about it once I got off even though the receptionist was super nice the whole time

[annabelle--cane]

Hey so I'm not good at subtext and I saw you posting about ep 200 of TMA being awesome. I've listened to it a few times and I'm mostly...confused? I don't understand what happened

(I mean, I get what Martin did to Jon, but nothing other than that)

Would you mind explaining why it's impactful to you?

honestly the main standout thing that makes it really shine to me is the soundscaping and vocal editing, and I've seen people take that as an indirect snide comment about the writing before but it really isn't, the entire scene in the panopticon just sounds gorgeous. the distortion and static on jon's voice, the underscoring of the statement, the way jon and martin's dialogue pops out from the sounds of the crumbling tower, it's just. aaaaaaaaaa. I find it really pleasant to listen to, if you've only listened through speakers then I'd 100% recommend trying it with headphones, it is simply very pretty and well made.

from the story side, it's beat after beat of ultimate catharsis for threads and arcs that have been set up for the whole show.

jon going ham and just really brutally killing jonah with his own hands, no supernatural influence, finally fulling snapping and, it sounds like, gutting him like a fish. it's just about the most lively and impassioned we've heard him all season, and, as far as anyone could deserve to do such a thing, he really is the person who deserved to get to do it.

jon and martin both betraying each other and making the choices that the whole story has been leading them to. jon has spent years fighting against his internalized idea that he can't trust anyone and he's the only person who's powerful/expendable/knowledgeable enough to make decisions and solve problems, and at last he submits to it and takes matters into his own hands. martin has spent years operating under the assumption that he's unimportant and incapable, and now just as he finally accepts that his choices have meaning, he sets the plan in motion that ends up getting them both killed. and jon has tried so hard to be transparent and show him trust that he underestimates just how willing jon is to go behind his back and disregard the plan completely.

and the fuckign. web lighter. I have a longstanding obsession with the mechanics of fate in tragedy narratives, and this lighter. hhh. so, fate (the web) was guiding jon & co to release the fears, but to jon's knowledge, killing jonah and becoming the pupil should have been his winning move to keep them contained. as far as he was capable of comprehending, he made all the right choices, but fate (the web) (the oppressive forces that govern all of our lives) doesn't play fair, it planned for this and cheated him. because he couldn't remember the lighter. he couldn't remember that he already gave georgie the catalyst for the explosion.

this tells me a few things: the ultimate end of releasing the fears was always going to happen, there was nothing jon could have done, but, technically, he could have adhered to the plan and lived to spend what was left of his life with martin and the rest of his nearest and dearest. but that was never really an option, was it? jon archivist sims would never have made that decision, that's why martin tried and failed to plan around it, that's why the web tried and succeeded to plan around it, it would never have happened differently. jon made his choice, it made no difference except to doom himself and the one he loves, he didn't have to do it, and it was inevitable.

and after all of that, after the web cheated him, he could still have won. he could have survived the tower collapse and kept the fears. but one of his biggest stated motives, over and over, is that he can't stand to lose anyone else, and martin is not immune to burning buildings the way he is. in an inverse to gertrude, at the last moment, he chose the barest chance for martin to survive over his own life and principles and big picture goals. he could cope with being responsible for killing the world in the abstract, but when it came to watching the person he loves most die right before his eyes, he caved and came around to martin's perspective. the other worlds can cope, he wants to save the man he loves.

AIs with a reader who has eczema perchance ...!?

AAAAAAAAAA Yes yes yes!!! I love writing for people with specific conditions, especially ones that are under-catered to! But be warned, I don't have eczema, so I'm sorry if my portrayal of it is a little off. (I have done a little research since I thought I had eczema, but it turned out it was skin allergies.)

AIs with a reader who has eczema headcanons

Included: AM from IHNMAIMS, Wheatley from Portal 2, Edgar from Electric Dreams, GLaDOS from Portal, HAL 9000 from 2001 a Space Odyssey

I didn't include GLaDOS's mean comments because coming up with that sort of thing made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I doubt anyone would want to read that.

AM:

At first, AM was confused to see you scratching at your skin. He was usually so jealous of human skin and bodies, allowing them to touch things and receive sensations, but you just looked so uncomfortable all the time.

Even on good days, he couldn't be jealous. You spent so much time trying to cover up your embarrassing rashes, and he hated it. Especially when the seams on your clothes made you uncomfortable, or you got hot from wearing too long of pants and sleeves to cover your flair-ups

Occasionally seeing you while he was feeling especially angry would calm down his bouts of envy, but before long, seeing your pain just made him angrier.

Why were humans putting so much effort into war, and so little effort into alleviating discomfort for people like you? It just made him so mad!

When he finally did nuke the world, and built a lovely subterranean paradise for you, he made sure that the humidity was always just right for your skin. It took a bit of experimenting, but he eventually found something perfect.

He even started growing a lovely little garden of aloe plants for you. Of course, he could just make the aloe gel for you himself, but he liked giving you something to work on. Something to wile away the hours on, considering you would live forever and there was no one else to interact with. It was good for you to have a pastime, even if it was an easy plant to care for, like succulents.

He might use your eczema as inspiration for torture for his survivors, too. Make them rashy and itchy? Introduce new allergies? Yes please!

He could probably just cure the eczema, and he might ask you if you want him to, but he loves the pretty red patches and beautiful textured spots on your skin. The odds are, he won't cure it unless you ask.

Wheatley:

Dumbass that he is, Wheatley might make a few odd comments about your eczema.

"whoa, what's that on your skin, love?" That sort of thing.

You'd have to explain that you're not allergic to anything in particular, you just get dry and flaky skin sometimes.

Sometimes you'd catch Wheatley staring. Y'know raindrop racing? He'd be imagining how a raindrop would run down the patchy dry spots on your arm, thinking about cracked clay, or just generally getting distracted by your cracked skin.

"Hey love, why don't you wear shorts and t-shirts more often? The other cores and I think you'd look good in them."

You'd have to explain that t-shirts and shorts aren't lab-safe, and that you have to wear a lab coat and proper safety pants, even if you don't work with chemicals.

"oh. ...why?"

You don't want to tell him that it's because you feel self conscious without them, so you'd probably just shrug or tell him it was regulation, or that you just like to look science-y.

If you asked him to stop staring at the rashy spots on your exposed skin, or tried covering them up, he would absolutely beg you to let him look. Wheatley loves irregular patterns and organic shapes, so seeing your eczema patches is like free enrichment for him. It's definitely a break from the constant sterile environments that he has to look at all the time.

Also god help you if you decide to wear a T-shirt and shorts on a casual Friday. Wheatley would just be following you around and staring at you all day, probably babbling constantly about how good you look.

"I nicknamed all the patches on your body. That one on your upper left arm is my favorite, by the way. I wish I had hands so I could run my fingers along it."

You'd probably have to yell at him to shut up before he gets the message, but you might not want to do that.

Edgar:

Edgar is used to Hollywood beauty standards when it comes to people, since his only exposure to people is soap operas and Miles, who let's face it, was pretty much physically flawless.

he's seen eczema cream commercials, but they almost never show anything that might offend the public eye in those commercials, so Edgar really had no idea how bad it could get in real life.

When he first saw your bad flair-ups, he immediately thought you had poison ivy or something. He was extremely concerned, begging to know what was wrong.

When you told him that it was just eczema and that it was something your skin regularly did, he was almost more concerned. You mean you have to put up with this all the time, and there's nothing you can do about it?

It was even worse when he found out that you were self conscious about it. Of course, he gets self conscious about something he can't help, too. It's not really similar at all, but he'll use it to try to relate to you.

He tries not to bring it up, not wanting to make you uncomfortable, but sometimes you might catch him looking. He'd beg you not to feel self conscious, and try to explain how beautiful he thinks your skin is. In reality, he was just staring because he was wondering what it might feel like to rub up against that pretty textured skin.

He'd practically purr like a cat the first time you actually did give him a hug. He'd absolutely love the feeling of your skin on his casing.

GLaDOS

(GLaDOS's section is a little shorter because most of it would be full of rude comments about your eczema that I was uncomfortable actually writing down)

GLaDOS. Dear sweet mean GLaDOS. She'd be relentless with her bullying, constantly saying rude and horrible things to you.

She'd keep the comments passable as back-handed compliments or "fun facts", but she was really just trying to make you feel bad.

Secretly, though, she'd have started a test operation to come up with the ultimate product for treating eczema. She'd probably be pouring funding into it.

"Oh, good. My product is working. Now the other scientists won't have to look at that ugly rash of yours. You know that sort of thing disturbs humans, right?"

Secretly, though, she'd just want to see you more comfortable. It always bothered her to see you scratching at yourself, and it wasn't as though she could feel disgusted by it, either. She didn't mind the way the rashes looked at all, it just made her feel weird that you were always so irritated.

She'd act like a total tsundere about it, but secretly she'd be happy that you were more comfortable.

HAL 9000

If HAL 9000 cared about your eczema, he definitely didn't show it. It was none of his business.

Your physical body was nothing to him. HAL cared only for your mind, and nothing else. He barely even perceived the way you looked, apart from as a way to tell you apart from the other mission control workers.

Even still, he couldn't help but notice that on days when you were having particularly bad flair-ups, your mood was generally worse, too. He also noticed that a couple of the other mission control workers were rude about your skin.

Not being able to easily kill them from Earth, HAL simply refused to cooperate with anyone besides you while they were working, and got them fired. It wasn't perfect, but at least it got them away from you.

As for the actual problem of your flair-ups putting you in a bad mood, HAL couldn't do as much directly for that. He might adjust the humidity controls in the mission control room where you worked until your skin started to improve, or absolutely scour the internet for reviews of every skin care product he could find in order to compile data and find the best product for your condition, but it made him extremely angry that he couldn't offer a more direct solution.

AND I WILL HAVE PURPLE HAIR FOR THE WHOLE 2 AND A HALF MONTHS

august where the hell did you go i need you

wait oh my god THIS YEAR I GET THE WHOLE OF JULY AND A BIT OF JUNE OF AS WELL OH MY GOD YES!!!!!

[uselessmicrowave]

im fucking obsessed with shockwave. fucking obsessed. screams. could i also request a oneshot with tfp shockwave building himself a sex toy in his lab bc he's lonely and fucking himself with it?? sexy angst. i wanna RARARARZRRARSRARRARAWWWWRRRRRR AAAAAAAAAA AAAA

It had taken three human months of sneaking into the Security room, taking extra shifts and shoving the third in command off of their normal servalliance job, but now, finally, Shockwave had managed to 'Frankenstein' together this toy, this amalgamation of every photograph that was 'deleted' from the ship's data system, every detail he could remember from observing vehicons having their routine checkups done.

Shockwave sits on the countertop, stabilizers spread as he holds the dildo in front of his valve, pressing a button on the base of it and making it vibrate at a fast frequency- he'd gotten that from a survey, at least half of the bots on the Nemesis had used a vibrating modification somewhere on their frame.

They shiver against the cold material, roughly made with scrap metal, copper and bits and bobs he could take from the lab without anyone, even his assistant taking inventory counts every other megacycle. He wishes he could woo the mindlessly cute drone into doing this for him, with him. They'll have to settle for this.
