Playing Portal so imagine with me; GlaDOS Sun

That is all

This is all I've been able to think about since I saw this ask u meanie >:((((

Ash received a message from the planet the Milan was berthed over. "Lord Finley, this is lord Zarath, I'd like to make use of your services." The voice was slightly sneering, exactly what you would expect of a noble on an important planet such as this.

- Noctine for Ash

Ash sighed the tone alone made him want to say no. This was exactly why he didn't usually stop by his more well off planets. He set a reply a few moments later. "What service exactly?"

For the WIP ask game!

It's so hard to pick just one, but I'd like to hear about A Study in Redheads!

(And never feel bad about taking your time, it's always worth the wait!)

Thank you so much! Thinking of titles is one of my favourite parts of writing ngl

So! Number 16: A Study In Redheads!

As the title suggests, it's a murder mystery. Born from the joke that Dick Grayson always gets shipped with redheads, I went "You know who else is a redhead?" didn't wait for an answer, and decided I needed to write something about Matt Murdock and Dick Grayson falling in love.

It's less of a rare pair/crackship than I assumed it to be, as every time I mention this idea to someone they tell me it's a nice ship lol!

I have very little written down, because the hard part was figuring out a muder mystery. Luckly, I'm also obsessed with Detective Conan, so I managed to figure out what I wanted.

In this fic, Wilson Fisk teams up with the Penguin to take out Daredevil, and blame either Hawkeye or Green Arrow in the process. The first chapter I wrote is actually from Peter Parker's perspective, who gets sent to Gotham to investigate Fisk as a favour to Matt.

At the same time as Peter is investigating what Fisk is doing, Dick is doing the same with Cobblepot, who's been working with some weapon traffickers in New York. While he's there, he saves Matt from the attempted murder, not knowing he's Daredevil, and accidentally incriminating himself in the whole plot. Now, Matt and Dick have to work together to prove Dick's innocence and Fisk and Cobblepot's involvement, all trying to keep their secret identities from each other.

And maybe they fall in love in the process 👀

Here's the snippet that I have of Peter's POV:

DD owes him a huge favor. Generally speaking people, were not so eager to enter Gotham City, no matter the circumstances. Heroes especially have never been welcome in the first place. Peter only hoped being there as a civilian won't invite the Bat's wrath. They'd never met –and thank whichever deity for that!– and Peter was not eager to. Matt owes him a giant favor. And Peter can't wait to cash it in. Gotham socialite life isn't all that spread out. There's only a few really wealthy and influential people actually living there. Most others came from out of town, like Lex Luthor or Oliver Queen, for these kinds of events. Peter has never heard of Tony Stark or Dr. Reed Richards attending one of these, though that could be because of their high visibility in the superhero community. And, as previously established, those kinds of people were not welcome in Gotham.

It's kind of an old idea, but I rotate it in my head quite often. I hope I get the brainworms working again one day so I can write more.

Thank you again for the tag! I like the opportunity to talk about my lovelies.

i’m SO curious about the dragon riders of west melbourne lore please tell us more!!

the lore is ummm... trucks and dragons are cool....!!

HAHA in all seriousness. some rambling under the cut. here's a doodle of a familiar face as a preemptive reward.

the tentative beginning of all this is as such: similar to how 'fish' means 'animal with gills that lives in water', 'dragon' is a word for 'animal with mechanical components, derived from an ancestor with digging and flying phases of its lifestyle'. different classes of dragons might be as related to one another as, for example, hagfish and humans. different groups of humans encountered and domesticated different groups of dragons through history, selecting for different functions; in the modern day, you may find them used as we use various heavy machines in our own world.

clear as mud?! sorry. as you might imagine, history, engineering, biology and so forth are EXTREMELY different over there. but don't even worry about it! for your average working class person on the ground, they're just a fact of life. about 0.8% of the australian population are truck drivers; a similar statistic applies to people who fly transport dragons, like my hypothetical doodle of b'elanna up there. obviously this correlates with class position- if you're working class, you probably know a truck driver, or know someone who knows a truck driver, yeah? it's like that here. expanding the statistic to all heavy machine operaters is a bit trickier and i've already gone down enough rabbit holes, so that's good enough as an analogy. hope you enjoyed this brief ramble!

Hi so um like not sure how to take these or if they're just coffee pastas or something but I'm pretty sure it's the same person sending like similar messages in like this and I just like am unsure of why? I'm doing perfectly fine.

alone + guilt ^_^

YES.... YES....!!!!!! ive been wanting to talk about my taiwanese knights sooo bad

alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

soleil is constantly alone :(( they like to make friends, they like to spend time with others, they often make their feelings known, but they can't really talk to anyone about the things that *truly* haunt them. they're not a particularly sad person or character! but when it's bad and they have nowhere to go, they kind of find a spot in the woods to maybe make vent art or cry about it. otherwise, they just like taking the time to see new sights when they're alone.

quin doesn't like being alone with his thoughts, so he often throws himself into work whenever possible. he barely knows who he is when he's by himself and he finds that uncomfortable, so he's a workaholic that way... guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it? quin feels guilty of being a bad sibling :( it's probably not very fair because he was just a kid when his brother was manipulated into hating him, into trying to kill him. he avoids the topic at all costs and busies himself to not have to think about it. whats done is done, etc. soleil feels guilt about having once been a dangerous beast that likely has senselessly killed. they want to protect their world primarily out of love for its inhabitants, but it would be a lie if they didn't want to atone a little as well.

@asmodcus asked;

"you again? i've seen enough of you already." From Jean maybe?

"If you don't want the caps, then I guess I'll be findin' someone else to buy from." He didn't leave. Cooper knew one thing; money talks. It always has. The world ending didn't change that. He slammed his rifle down on the table between them. "Moles gnawed on my stock. Can you fix it, or not?"

I am writing a character with OSDD1a, is there anything I should avoid doing? Or something you particularly suggest?

Again, I'm assuming that you're the same anon. All the questions you've asked make it clear that you're a singlet. With that in mind, there is only one piece of advice I can give you in regards to writing a character with OSDD1a.

Don't.

Well, ok, here's a bit more nuance: A main character or just a side character? A side character who helps the MC for a chapter then goes about their own business, yeah, you can try your best.

But don't write your main character as someone with OSDD and most definitley don't write ABOUT having OSDD. You don't have the knowledge or experience to do that. Leave it to the people who are systems.

I'm going to talk now on the assumption that you want to write your main character as an OSDD1a system. I may be wrong on that, but this post is for everyone to see, so maybe it will reach someone who does have this plan. So this bit is for everyone.

WHY do you want to use a character with OSDD? Knowing your intentions can tell you a lot about how to go about something.

Representation? No. It's not your job nor your place to represent systems and the lives they live around being a part of one. That is something that ONLY a sytem can do. It's a job for lived experience only.

You think it's cool? No. It's not cool and you're strange for thinking that. It also tells me that you don't respect the condition beyond it's cool factor.

Sorry, anon, if this wasn' the answer you wanted to hear. But OSDD is such a complex and complicated condition. I don't think it's worth the risk of bad representation.

do you still write in general or have all your works been removed from ao3 and halted?? I just found An Eye for an Eye and I maybe horribly obsessed with it hahah

I still write from time to time but for myself or random fandoms that I don't share on here- the ones I have shared for this fandom have been orphaned but can still be accessed here but if u found that I'm assuming u know that lol

Writing these days just makes me feel horrifically self-conscious so if I do share I like doing so on accounts where nobody knows me and I have no expectations to live up to ya feel? ; u ;

Here is a lil doodle and a jealousy snippet I was gonna write at some point if it helps ya feel better *patpat*

(Set at some point in the future, Y/n's gotten enough trust to be allowed in Eclipse's enclosure without supervision and so Kai's joining them to scope the place out + do some plotting since it's too loud for mics to pick anything up above the ambience of water and ironically it's safer for them to talk in here than anywhere else in the facility lol... also it's been so long since I wrote the fic I can't remember if Eclipse is blind or not so let's assume so)

"Wait up!" you barked, running up behind the man so fast you nearly ran into him headfirst as the doors automatically closed behind the two of you.

"Watch it, will you? And I'm working on a tight schedule here, okay? Not all of us are coddled by staff..."

"Coddled?! I'm given the lofty privilege of being used as live bait and you-"

"So this is what it looks like, huh? I haven't been in here for a while." He gave a whistle, turning to you briefly before walking further into the room. You followed close behind him, holding back your boiling temper for the time being. "Last time I was here, the water was filled with algae and god knows what else."

You shrugged. "Yeah. I guess... It helps now that I clean Eclipse regularly. The rest of staff was too chicken to so much as touch it."

"I still can't believe you do that." He wandered closer to the edge of the water, staring down into the dark abyss. Far down, the mer began to rouse from its usual afternoon slumber, scintillations dancing deep below as it slowly moved. "And I can't believe all you've managed to lose so far is an eyeball. You have all your limbs intact, as far as I can tell."

"It was scary at first, sure, but then I realized it was literally just a big fish I was dealing with. One that ruined my albeit shitty life. I was getting money out of the deal, so..."

You kicked your foot absentmindedly, watching the dark outline ripple through the water, approaching the surface.

"It's all bark and no bite."

As if on cue, the surface tension broke as the mer surfaced, the water rippling and floor shaking with the force of its purr. The sound was cut short, though, its head tilting in curiosity as its fake smile stared at the two of you.

"Are you sure about that...?"

The second it heard Kai's voice, the flat side of its face slanted upwards so its teeth were on display, pulling up into a snarl. A low growl rumbled through the floor and up into your legs, making you wobble slightly.

"Hey, what the hell?!" you were quick to say, throwing up your hands in disbelief. "You choose now to throw a tantrum??"

Its tongue flicked out in what you now knew was its own weird way of sniffing the air, and soon after the sound of its growling grew louder.

"Shit!" Kai hissed, "Didn't you say this was safe?"

"Of course it's safe! Hey slimebrain, will you shut up?!" You took a few confident steps forward and punched a hand over one of its tendrils. It relaxed at the contact, a tiny purr mixing in with its incessant snarling. "You're makin' a big idiot of yourself in front of my... acquaintance."

"Oh, so that's the title you're giving me?" He regretted opening his mouth, as the next second Eclipse lurched towards him, snapping its teeth worryingly close to his face. You breathed a sigh of relief when you saw it hadn't ripped the flesh off his nose or something. Yet, anyways.

"Okay, okay!!!" You jumped in front of him, tripping and landing on your ass, but at least it made the mer stop moving. "What's gotten into you? You've been behaving well the past couple of months and you chose today to get all pissy? Honestly..."

Eclipse made something akin to a huffing sound, then unlatched its jaw just enough to grasp the back of your collar. It dragged you, flailing the entire way, away from Kai, only stopping when half your body was submerged in water.

As soon as you opened your mouth to in protest, it the large, flat underside of its jaw hovered over you, blanketing you in shadow. One set of its hands came to hold you in place, ignoring your cries of anger as it continued to growl.

"Okay, I'm just gonna... go..." Kai finally said, a tremble in his voice as his footsteps became more and more distant till the sound of the doors opening and closing made you realize he'd left.

"That pussy..." you spat beneath your breath, though you were much more angry at the mer than him. "You!! You ruin everything!"

As soon as the man was gone, Eclipse's mood seemed to flip like a switch, growls bleeding into those grating attempts at chirps and purrs it never quite seemed to translate into something that didn't sound like a dying whale.

It was proud, perhaps even gloating, you realized as it turned its head completely around to peer down at you with a false grin. Water dripped down on you, and you also realized your freshly-laundered clothes were now sopping wet.

A presence suddenly interrupts the relative calm of the warp around Ash, something completely alien starts to seep his psychic presence as the blonde horned man explored this new facinating place. ( @dissatisfieddov )

@dissatisfieddov

Ash jumped and then looked confused. "What the fuck?" Ash was immediately blocking off his own psychic presence. "Who the fuck are you?"
