Fanmily

Minnie Mae Murderface was the kind of gal who didn’t let anything stand in her way. Whether it was running from Johnny Law for blowing up illegal explosives in a swamp, drinking booze to numb the back pain, or outright diving in the lake to noodle for a catfish dinner, she never hesitated on any decision she made. The way she saw it, it was a waste of time hemming and hawing. It was better to take action than to sit around and wait to ask for permission. For right or wrong, at least something would be done.

That was probably why she didn’t hesitate to put in a little somethin’ extra in her Pa’s beer before she gave it to him.

Or why she didn’t look back when she crawled out the back window of the broken screen of Daddy’s trailer with nothing but her usual overalls, sneakers and tool kit.

Or why she didn’t stop walking when the sun rose again over the horizon of the ten-mile marker on the road.

All she knew was that she had better get free or die trying. Cause it was either that, or she'd have to go back to Pa.

Granted, he was alright for a Pa. He was nice enough to let her keep wearing overalls and play with the other boys her age when she was a youngin'. Taught her how to fix the truck, along with HVAC units, and all other things that would need fixing at the trailer or the junkyard. They even watched NASCAR together on Sundays.

It wasn’t until that preacher fella done come by their little ol’ nowhere town of Mount Pantera that her Pa went crazy. Suddenly, he’d gotten funny about what she should wear, was told to do less “men’s work” and more “women’s work”. Even the NASCAR on Sunday went away in favor of hearing that same preacher man on the pulpit.

If that was the only thing he was trying to change she could have tolerated it.

Trying to ignore the growing pain in her lower back, and took a swig out of the bottle of beer that she saved for herself for the trip.

The question was...where was she gonna go now?

Her Ma was buried six feet under, not that she remembered much of her. Her aunts and uncles nearby would just turn her back in to her Pa as soon as they could. And the rest of her extended family was Lord Knows where.

She chewed her red hair from her right pigtail, trying to think of a solution. It was a shame she didn’t have her fiddle on hand. That was useful for thinkin’. But she reckoned she had to travel light on an occasion such as this.

Minnie tried recalling any relatives that were out there in the world, far away from the quaint little ol’ town of Mount Pantera. The only place she knew her whole life. Who was at that family reunion last year?

A beat up car in the parking lot of the diner she was walking by had been blasting some kinda music she never heard of.

The rhythm was...heavy. The sound of the drums were consistent, and the sound of the guitars were low, like a war song for a march. The singer must’ve had a frog in his throat, because she could barely make out the words from the sound of his growling.

"Hungry and tired the frigid plain yields little

  We trudge on further, eating pride and snow that's brittle

  We ride

 We ride"

She grinned a little to herself with her tooth gap showing, imagining what it would be like if she had a horse to ride out of town on instead of her own mismatched feet.

-That was “The Lost Vikings” a Dethklok Classic, stay tuned to 5184MTL for metal hits old and new -

Where had she heard of Dethklok befo- her hazel eyes widened in revelation as she slapped her knee. It was Cousin Willy’s band! She remembered Granny Murderface braggin’ about it after she had one too many beers at the reunion last year.

Everyone called her Granny on account that she was the Murderface clan’s oldest living matriarch. And when she put her foot down, that meant her word was law, even though she retired to Florida some years back.

If anyone could get her out of this situation, it was Granny Murderface, she was sure of it.

Minnie Mae walked through the doors of Flotsam and Jetsam’s Diner with a spring in her step and a wrench in her hand.

“Got anything need fixin’ round here for a plate and a phonecall?”

Might make a Discord server for the PNW SPG community

I suppose this is an interest check? Lmk if that's something you would be interested in joining

[beerok23]

Yes. I also pinned this post at the top of my page.

We need to share positiveness as much as possible ❤️

Hey, fandom. We'll hear Crowley call Aziraphale 'angel' - again.

And nightingales will sing - again.

And this IS a miracle.

Let's try focus on that. Stay positive.

All together on our side.

To our world.

Happy Friday, TBB Fanmily! I hope your week was as productive as Tech’s 😂

[beerok23]

This is the fist post I’m reading in 2025 and… I’m so emotional right now. Thank you so much 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🥹🥹🥹🥹

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥂🥂

This year, I'm forever grateful to all the wonderful fandoms I've had the good fortune of being a part of, particularly EPIC: The Musical and, of course, my beloved Good Omens.

Good Omens and EPIC are both my happy place, but Good Omens...the ineffable husbands, the fandom, the story, all the creators...they hold a special place in my heart.

Creators like @phoen1xr0se, @mrghostrat, @heohl-art, @cesiscribbles or @beerok23 whose fanfics and fanarts have brought me so much joy this year. I just wanted to give y'all a big, old, proper hug ��🫂🫂

There are many more, of course, and I love them all, but I have terrible memory...I will add some more if they come to mind!!!

And, of, course, I just have to say, looking at everything this wonderful fandom has achieved...I couldn't be prouder to call myself a part of this big little family we've all created together ❤️❤️❤️

Cheers to all of you 🥂🧡

As for EPIC, I hopped onto the wagon with the Wisdom Saga, which was really towards the end, but MAN what a ride!! I just want to hug the entire cast and crew who helped create it, I wanna kill (/aff) hug Jorge for being an awesome human being and, of course, while we're giving out hugs, to all the amazingly talented animators like @gigizetz, @anniflamma, Gwendy & Co ( @ns2dstudios ), Mircsy, Tamatutta, @wolfythewitch, and more!! And also the ones whose animatics didn't make it to the Livestream visuals but are awesome as hell, like Neil Illustrator!! 🫶🏼

(Again, there are many more, but my memory sucks)

So yeah, these two have been my pillars this year, and I hope they continue to be for many more to come!!

CHEERS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥂🎇

- Nix 🧡

P.S. : @beerok23 , I will catch up with your fics, I promise 🙏🏼 (I just have three million things going on at once, but I'll get round to it, I haven't forgotten about you 🫶🏼)

I love the idea of some of the contestants becoming the family they never had for eachother.

You've mentioned Soap and Mic being like sisters once and honestly I can see that, some of their interactions feel very much like siblings like the picture and even her meeting Taco for the first time, speaking of Taco, her reaction to Tacomic would probably be somewhere between sibling teasing the other about their crush and 'out of all the women on this island she's the one you have a crush on?'

I see a few headcanons of her becoming an older sister figure to Tissues too but I see that dynamic becoming more caring older sister than her dynamic with Mic.

Tea Kettle is an obvious one because that's basically what she was made for in the first place she's willing to be a mother to anyone honestly.

I sort of see Lifering taking up a guardian role to some people not particularly parental but in the way if someone needs help (mainly medical) he'll be there for them.

I see quite a bit of SilverCandle art/fics have them as somewhat parental figures for YinYang and honestly I really like that, I'm not sure if they'd have this dynamic in canon but it's sweet all the same.

And obviously Bot being Fan and Test Tube's kid, the only way I can see this not happening is if Bot doesn't see them as parents because they didn't like being made as a replacement for not only Bow but Egg too but I like to think that they become a little family anyway Bot still has things to learn, about themself and other things and I like to think Fan and Test Tube would help them to be their own person after forcing them to be someone they're not at first.

I like to think Ballpoint also became a bit of a father figure to Mephone4 but nobody ever actually admits it I feel like this would stem from getting the approval from Ballpoint that he wanted from Cobs though.

That's pretty much all I have (excluding Cobs and 4 but that's not really family in the way the rest are also at this point Cobs is probably a decomposing possibly eaten corpse) but if you have any than it'd be nice to hear about them if you'd want to talk about them (:

Hello there!!!!^^ Welcome, and thank you for submitting an ask!!! :]

YUP THE CHOSEN FAMILY OF ALL TIME :D :D :D!!!!

I really love to see Soap and Mic as sisters!!! Not only because of their voice actors, though that is a part of it, but also for how they interact and help each other. Mic throws Soaps cleaning supplies into the river, a little sisterly tough love, yeah? And how Mic tells Soap about her experience with Taco, and Soap keeps that secret for her and supports her as she's healing!!! Truly the sisters of time.

Her and Tissues forming a bond is a sweet idea too!! I'm not sure I'd read them as family, but regardless they should interact, especially with Soap having improved a lot with her germaphobia and how the reveal changes the way they all look at Tissues, yeah?

Tea Kettle will absolutely be adopting every single one of them. No more to say for her she adopts everyone she is group Mom end of story. I think it would be funny if Nickel accidentally calls her Mom once, both for the voice actor joke (as you can see I love those) but also because he'd die inside and it would be funny.

Lifering would be a good guardian for everyone!! His medical knowledge is so, so very vital to everyone's survival. He would be oh so very appreciated by everyone.

I think Candle would definitely be a caring presence for Yin-Yang, but not Silver. Silver and Yin-Yang don't seem to get along like that, as is especially shown in Spring on the Breakfast, yeah? I don't see Yin-Yang feeling super positive on Silver for quite a bit after that. They do interact in the finale, though, so that's something at least.

It's implied that Bot sees Testy and Fan as their parents in the show anyways, there's that lively clip of Fanmily confirmation, and even if Bot has some complicated feeling towards them, that's not super uncommon in parent-child relationships, yeah? They both seem to have a lot of love for Bot, and each other, so I am fully on the fanmily train. I also enjoy thinking of Painty and Lightbulb as their auncle and aunt!!! :) Painty is so supportive of them, yeah? The three of them have that genderqueer solidarity (canonically. fanonically testy and fan can be whatever gender your heart desires.)

I see people liking to present Ballpoint as a father figure to Mephone, though I can't say I see it as much as some people based on their canon interactions. This goes more into what Ballpoint represents about Cobs, but I'm sure there's a level of parental approval that Mephone wants from Ballpoint, but this seems to me to be due to how he made Ballpoint rather than an actual bond the two share.

As for familial bonds I see! I can't say I have a ton, since I'm not super close with my family, so I tend to prefer friendships!!! But I'll offer up these two :)

Blueberry and Trophy would be the most annoying brothers of all time. Making themselves out as the "alpha males" of the island, continuously calling each other "bro" like an only child trying to write siblings. Talking shit about the others. They're insufferable <3

I really like to see Cabby as a big sister to Goo and Bot!! :) Cabby carrying Goo through the red line game and letting him sit on her head multiple times during the show, and even their less pleasant interactions during I Am Chocolate reads like an older sister/little brother dynamic, coming from someone with an older sister. How she talks to Test Tube for Bot in Spring on the Breakfast and Bot stands up for her to Testy later on in Blue Buried? They give off sibling vibes to me and I love them.

Minnie Mae

So I legit did not expect her debut to be so well received in the fandom earlier this week, so I did a quick illustration of how I pictured miss Minnie Mae Murderface, William Murderface's second cousin.

[god-impeaching-dj]

MTL OC week day two, Fanmily.

[trickofthelight-snow]

Hey, for all I know he could be teaching you how to tie a noose.

Alright, that's actually useful.

Jun!! Hi!

[not-goldy]

”If you were in his shoes you would have done worse” I’m a different anon but no I don’t think others would have done worse. I wouldn’t be mean to the person who cared about me the most just because of teenage hormones and emotions, jm was a teenager too and he was never mean to jk or anyone in the group. JK got better with time, I’m glad he grew up and matured enough to understand jm and his feelings better. And the narrative that he’s uncomfortable or hates jimin did come from the way he was acting with him before. Just go on YouTube and you’ll find plenty of videos of him being mean to jm and how jm looked hurt/uncomfortable with whatever jk did/said (especially the ranking of looks video)

Dont lie, You pooped your diaper ate mucus from your nose farted in class cried when you were hungry, cried when you were mad, cried for no reason at all🥲

Also this is Jimin and his brother (same age as Kook)

Tell me how this child would have appreciated an older hyung who cared for him when he wasn't even capable of appreciating his own mother and let's extrapolate that to Kook.

Parents struggle dealing with teenagers so I don't expect Jimin to be able to handle and cope with all that teenage angst and inconsistent emotions of Jk.

And I'm going to assume since he himself was yet to explore his own queer emotions that he didn't and couldn't recognize that that was what was happening to his younger mate.

But you guys give JK so much grief for not protecting Jimin and acting in ways that draws heat and hate towards Jimin yet fail to see how his own inability to deal with Jk's emotions as a teenager is what has put yall howling wolves on Jungkook too 🥲

Where is the protection?

Openly talking about these things and how they make him feel is what makes yall hate JK let's be honest. I mean let's go there since we are there.

He spends so much time praising JK saying nice things about him yet that doesn't make your side of the fanmily like him- why??

Why does this make you hate JK but that don't make you like him?????

Don't go away respond to me I'm waiting.

Let's have this family meeting and get things off our chest once and for all 🥴

[full article text below]

At one time in New York City, if you wanted to see Michael Jackson, you looked for Jordan Neely. Even among the performers in Times Square, who get every high-pitched “ee-hee” right and moonwalk seamlessly, Neely was exceptional. “He’s actually famous here,” YouTuber and Jackson fan Gadget Trish said about Neely on May 3, two days after he was killed by another passenger on the F train. Moses Harper called him more than an impersonator — he was a “tribute artist.”

In the wake of Neely’s murder on May 1, the community of Michael Jackson impersonators and fans, who call themselves a “fanmily,” is mourning the loss of one of their own. The person they saw referred to in the press as an “aggressive homeless man” with an arrest record was a talented friend and fellow performer. Brenna Crowley, who knew Neely, wrote on Facebook that it had been years since she’d seen him, “but I was always in awe seeing him dance when I did.” He had something special.

Also on Facebook, Harper recounted first meeting a “kind-hearted, sweet” Neely in 2009 as a wunderkind teenager performing as Jackson in Times Square. He was just 16 and didn’t even have a costume yet, but she was struck by his genuine interactions with the crowd and his obvious love for performing. “The tourists, they adored him,” she said. Neely asked Harper, a fellow tribute artist, for dance tips, and honed his craft over the next few years, eventually buying a jacket with epaulets and mastering the full look. “He became known,” Harper said. “I loved watching it.”

Lance Clarke, an attorney, first saw Neely perform as Jackson at a family member’s birthday party ten years ago. Neely “was the guy,” he told me over the phone. “The kids thought he really was Michael.” Over the years, Clarke said he frequently saw Neely performing on the A train, but he appeared to be going through progressively harder times. “First he was performing with the costume, then the costume got tattered,” he said. “Then no costume. Then he couldn’t do the moves, the kicks. Then no performing at all.” A few years ago, Clarke brought Neely home with him and gave him some food and a few bags of clothes. “He put his soul into performing and after a few years on the street, he had no soul left,” Clarke says. “He was just begging for help.”

It also would have been hard for him to make a living as a subway performer, according to TT, the manager and backup dancer for another MJ impersonator named “Michael’s Mirror.” “Full-time MJ impersonators mostly do the Vegas circuit and shows like Legends in Concert,” she told me. “But Jordan never seemed to know how good he was. I guess that he performed in the subway and streets just because he loved it so much.”

Relatives of Neely’s have said that he suffered from severe mental-health issues stemming from the loss of his mother, who was killed by Neely’s stepfather in 2007, when Neely was only 14. They described his condition worsening over the last several years — particularly the last two, according to one close family friend. Harper said on Facebook that she had also seen Neely struggling. When she last saw him in 2016, “he tried to put his head down and walk past me and I said, ‘No, no, no.’ ‘You’re getting off at the next stop with me.’” She lost track of him after that. But people in the MJ community kept searching. TT said she was looking for Neely in the last few months, hoping he might perform at a June tribute to Jackson. “It wasn’t just me, there were a lot of us who were looking for him,” Harper said. “It’s tragic that this is how we found him.”

Happy Friday, TBB fanmily!

Excuse the wippery but I just love them taking caring of each other. I want to share it while it’s still baking so I’ll be held accountable to try to finish it this weekend 😄

Ficlet synopsis below

Tech: Crosshair, please hold still.

Crosshair: Speak for yourself.

Tech tends a deep wound in Crosshair’s forearm after a nearly disastrous mission to destroy a shield generator. Crosshair was so focused down-range on his brothers, that he didn’t notice the commando droid sneaking up in him until it was too late to dodge it completely. Tech asks Crosshair to keep still, but it’s actually Tech who is trembling because he’s so worried about Crosshair. 💗
