#Mel talks mercs

[cripgineer]

oh id love to know what animalz u think could be the heart donorz for the mercz itz such an interesting idea :0! -plushpyro

@plushpyro

Hi! Sorry I didn’t get to it sooner, my blog just refused to give me the notif for some reason. Here’s the headcanons I got (under the cut 4 length)

Scout: rabbit heart. But like- a mutant rabbit. Or multiple rabbit hearts Stitched together. His heart is rather unstable, actually. It usually doesn’t cause him too much trouble but sometimes it can lead to scares.

Soldier: AMERICAN EAGLE- or, that’s what medic told him and soldier was happy with this. The actual animal is a silverback gorilla

Pyro: I’m not so sure. In a similar vein to demo I can see the funny answer (somehow getting a unicorn heart) but at the same time I’m not sure. I do like the idea they have a heart of another equine type animal. A rhinoceros could be fun. what you would put?

Heavy: baboon heart. Medic tries (emphasis on try…) to stick with primate hearts cuz he may not have the most medical know how he does know you should stick within a same kind of family… probably.

Demo: the part of me that does bits wants me to say Loch Ness monster. But the part of me that knows better- he probably got a big cat heart. Like a tiger, or a cougar. Tbh I could also see him with a seal heart - did you know seals have a lot of colonies in Scotland?

Engineer: great white shark :) mostly based on the shark man engie from the nucleus incident. The fic may be dormant now but I always liked the idea of getting some kinda big ocean animals in here.

Medic: I think he’s replaced his heart to the level where he now has multiple! I like the idea that he has pieces of his teams hearts sewn together as a second heart. Like a more viseral metaphor of the souls he sewn to his own.

Sniper: he actually got a two seperate hearts due to the whole reviving thing. The first ubervalve was actually a crocodile heart. The second was- well, it was what he had on hand which wasn’t much. That didn’t mean a billion dollars was burnt away for nothing- he’s either got an orangutan heart, or gelada heart. Aka the bleeding heart monkey.

Spy: snake. Or other big reptiles such as Komodo dragons, anacondas, monitor lizards. Stuff like that. Also it now just occurred to me that some funny business could happen if you give a warm blooded human a cold blooded animal heart. Ah whatever.

WIP WHENEVER

Was tagged by @chevvy-yates and @drunkchasind, thanks both ♥ But, i don't have a lot of things to talk about. My last rest days, i mostly played and continue my commissions. And as i'm back to office + physical therapy 3x/week after work, really few time ...

Mods / Comms I mostly cleaned my comm list, even i'm late on my schedule because of elbow. Still do finish one, update 2 and doing full one. After that, i hope updating mine, but i really doubt about it x) But just a list in case : - i will update Vanessa (2 more nomads AU, 1 merc, 1 casual at least) - i will continue Enzo Npv + scars (chevvy needs it :P) + redo fully Isao and Virgile And for mod, i worked on the collab with Mel, working on refits but i really don't like that, maybe bc i don't use body mods (and other one dropped never enough of big boobs in this game), so i feel no interest doing this ...

Writing

I finished chapter 4 of Virgile x Eve \o/ ... in french. Time to spend hours of translation, rewrite some parts because finally it's not that good, adding things, removing. But true writing parts is finally done. I have a VP idea, but i really needed to write the scene, because i won't do 75 pics for a story, but there was many things i wanted to tell. How Enzo secretly defied the clan's ban to see his brother Virgile again, how he came up with the idea and how it came to fruition. And it starts with a confrontation with his father, 19yrs brat finally understands things about his papa too ... Just a snippet poorly translate :

Therein lay the crux of the problem. He just understood it. They'd been arguing about it for a week, and Enzo had just put his finger on why. It wasn't a question of pride, of absurd parental authority, but of mourning. Grieving for someone who's still alive, but whom they can no longer see. A son, a brother. A sudden wave of sadness swept over him, his proud face replaced by that of a bewildered young man, almost a little boy. Even his voice softened. "Papa, keeping the car won't bring him back. You've already kept all his memories, I …" The long, dejected sigh stopped him in his sentence. His father crushed his cigarette stub, and he suddenly saw him hunched over, crushed by the weight of sadness, suddenly looking old. "I miss him so much…"

VP

So i will do a 2 or 3 parts story about Enzo finally comes to NC for the first time and find his brother. But for this, i need to update Enzo's npv with a younger version. Was before his accident, and i found the perfect style for a real young brat racer in all his confident (need to think about accessories and his tattoos) Look at this brat, with this stupid idea to bleach hair x)

And i continue to give boys some good clothes ! You already saw Isao, and now it's Virgile's turn ♥ But he's easier, i have him since 2 years 1/2, i know his style and i want for him. But i will split in two saves, with his corpo years. But for now, Blue has many nomads outfits, less city ones, but here 2 with some nice ones ♥

🥒 - Are you thinking about reviving old muses? Who?

munday meme || accepting

this is such an unfair question, I feel like I'm being called out XD cuz if you know me at all and have been following me for any amount of time you would know I am always thinking about reviving old muses. like. I've even talked about it on this blog, turning it into a multi or adding side muses cuz I just. have so many muses that I love and want to share and write with folks !

Indi has been my most recent muse I've been going back and forth on. he is a spy oc I made for a group rp that flopped and I just. fell in love with him. he is my cryptid son just doing his best. he has a lot of like. cyberpunk and dystopian lore tho so I'm always kinda :x about writing him cuz I don't want to assume people would write in his universe, but at the same time some of that lore is like ? important to what he is capable of as a character. so idk. I'm always conflicted on if I should bring him back and how I should bring him back, if I should focus on his scifi lore or maybe lean more into his cryptid side... like he really would fit in with kaey and shade...

another couple muses would be zhu dai and yew, they're some of my original lore babs that are always kinda kicking around in my head. but they're both very lore heavy and I just. always feel awkward about presenting that. zhu dai is like. an anti-god ? I really don't know how to describe her but shes a bamf on fire, lets just say that. and then yew is my selkie oc ! which... I also feel awkward about writing cuz like. my name is selkie, does that make it weird ? idk.

lastly but not least we have wystan and myk. wystan is actually a character in kaeys lore / universe that got a lot of his own development due to my friend mel and I just. really love and appreciate him as his own character now. very merc type. while myk is my magic boi, based on mixed lore relating to crossroads, black dogs, etc. hes kind of an asshole and is very eccentric but hes also stuck in a time loop so we gotta give him a tiny break tbh. I love both of them a lot, but just. feel like I never get enough interest in them ? or that maybe they are difficult to interact with ?

in general a lot of my reluctance in writing and bringing these characters back is a) interest and whether their lore is accessible enough to make them easy to interact with and b) my own, like, motivation and energy to write them. currently all of these characters are just. sitting in limbo on my multi sideblog ( @astralradio ) but I really would love to be able to bring them out to play more often !

Instagram Feb 2023. More of my sides stuff from IG that I 4got 2 post :P

I have no spoons to copy everything word for word so I will just simplify it all.

Colour schemes:

I didnt originally plan to make them colours of the rainbow like how the Sanders Sides +c!Thomas are, that was a very recent idea.

I am orange, Maddox/Impulse is red, Memphis/Egotism is pink, Melvin/Compassion is green, Medusa/Creativity is cyan & I recently made Mercury/Paranoia yellow. Maven/Fatigue is probably going to be purple & I don't have another side to make indigo.

[Non-coloured text: I am orange, Maddox/Impulse is red, Memphis/Egotism is pink, Melvin/Compassion is green, Medusa/Creativity is cyan & I recently made Mercury/Paranoia yellow. Maven/Fatigue is probably going to be purple & I don't have another side to make indigo.]

Symbols/logos:

My sides' logos r all over the place, instead of being on their chest like (most of) the Sanders Sides :P

Melvin's logo is two hands interlocked & it's a patch on his battle jacket. Its place on his heart.

Madds' logo is like the boom emoji (💥) or explosion. It is placed on the sides of its big combat boots.

Medusa's logo is like. An eyeball. Painbrush. This will change idk what i was thinking originally NDHSKFNFB. Kits logo is placed on the front of kits overalls pocket.

Maven's logo is a bunch of Zs like a sleeping person would be given in art (💤). It's placed on the largest pin on their beanie.

Memphis' logo is a pink, handheld mirror. It is one of the charms on her phone.

Mercs does not... have a logo design. & the logo is either on the back of Mercs' shirt or on one of Mercs' bracelets.

Relationship dynamics:

All my sides get along relatively ok & good. If the Sanders Sides wont love each other then MINE WILL!!!

The only sides that have a somewhat rough relationship is Mel & Madds. Mel, being compassion, wants 2 hear everything 1st in any sort of conflict & tends 2 have a more unbiased view on everything. He is still incredibly supportive & kind regardless of his personal opinion. He is like... Making soup 4 everyone and wanting to help as many people as possible.

Madds, on the other hand, being impulse & a lot of my ""negative"" violent feelings, refuses 2 hear ANYONE out. It will hold a grudge til the end of the earth even if it doesnt know the whole story. As soon as some sort of conflict happens it is choosing the Worse answer imaginable regardless if it even fits the situation ("did that guy just bump into you? We have to kill them" "im sure it was an accident—" "it absolutely Was Not").

OBVIOUSLY. THEY DON'T AGREE MOST OF THE TIME DNSHDKDN. Mel is like "lets talk this out. Communication is important!" & madds is like "Everyone here is wrong except for me. Lets kill them all now."

(They still will bend over backwards for each other if needed)

Maven's trait is fatigue bcuz i have CFS/ME*, though they also represent any sort of fatigue(??) Im. Unsure how to explain. Back in middle schopl before I developed CFS/ME, it was a lot of suicidal/depressive fatigue. It can also be executive dysfunction or autistic shutdowns/meltdowns. ETC whatever u get it.

They're the like. Apathy I feel? I do not experience empathy or sympathy (most of the time) & being aro, ace, and apl, and loveless I tend to not feel Normally. I am also autistic & have alexithymia. THIS IS HARD 2 EXPLAIN BCUZ I AM LOW ON SPOONS. ASK ME LATER OF UR STILL CONFUSED. I DONT KNOW.

WHATEVER. Because Maven is fatigue/apathy/etc they don't really care abt any1 around them. That's melvin's job! They're too busy sleeping in their wheelchair or on the floor. They aren't mean or anything, they're just apathetic & sleepy.

Memphis only cares abt himself but bcuz all the sides + me r Technically Also Him he kind of has 2 care 4 evry1 else. Though, if warranted, she would literally push us off a cliff to save herself (she would also push us off a cliff 4 no rzn).

Medusa likes to cling to Memphis like a baby koala bcuz I think I am TOO talented for my own good . Hence why creativity hangs around egotism.

Mercs likes to run to Madds or Maven bcuz my delusions, obviously, make me violent & afraid & i am actually pretty apathetic & chill in regards to my hallucinations. ALSO NOT MENTIONED IN THE STORIES, Mercs also hangs around Memphis since I have delusions abt being the most popular person on the planet & being better than everyone else & ETC.

*ALL my sides have CFS/ME. They ALL are autistic, have ADHD, schizophrenia, POTS, & all my other disabilities & neurodivergencies. It doesn't make sense to me (+ makes me a little uncomfortable) to have a single side represent my disabilities/NDs. My disabilities are not One Part Of Me, they are All Of Me.

In regards to Mercury/Paranoia, all my sides experience delusions & hallucinations, Mercs just experiences Most of it. Xe also represents more than just paranoia. In regards to Maven/Fatigue, all my sides are physically disabled and have CFS/ME & POTS, Maven just experiences the most of it & represents more than just fatigue.

fanfiction.net/u/10887504/

The link above is for my Fanfiction.net profile. 1. A sequel to my story, LoZ: Hyrule Heroes, involving Link and Malon's kids, Lyn and Mel, trying to rescue Zeldas sonn Prince Scott, from a ressurrected Vaati and Zant from TP. Along their journey, they travel with a young Rito girl named Sarah, Erma, (the witch from the first story), the desperate Midna who's trying to reclaim her throne, and Flynn's pup, Zeke. A side-plot in the story would be Link and his companions from the first story protecting Hyrule Castle, and Zelda, from Zant and Vaatis incoming forces. 2. A harem crossover, Dragonball Z and Chrono Trigger, involving an OC, Ayla, Maron, (Krillins Ex, not his daughter), Launch, and a few other single women in these universes. The plot I've thought of so far is a young man from the future who ends up travelling through time, and thus, meets the many hot women who fall in love with him. 3. AvP, a female predator named Tia'ra and a male human named Max are trapped on a prison planet with many other humans and aliens. As they try to find a way to escape, as well as fall in love, they meet a Xenomorph whose been experimented on and given human speech and thought, a little girl whose been wrongfully taken there, a woman and her pet Xenomorph, (note, this is my character Violet and Xander from my story, the Android and The Mutant), and a male cyborg, the group find out about a plot that threatens to destroy the universe. 4. OFF, Batter x Queen AU. The Judge sends a regretful Batter to a time before Hugo lead his world to ruin, and thus, starts to form a relationship with the Queen. 5. A continuation of my story, UnderFell Mob. In this, Frisk is now an adult, working with her monster family to maintain peace. Soon, a new menace rears its head to threaten Frisk and those she cares about. 6. Godzilla Apocalypse Story involving OCs, humans and monsters from Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra and King Kong movies. When the world is turned into a wasteland, it's up to a small group of humans to try and create peace between the monsters and themselves. When Ling Ghidorah threatens the last of humanity, it may be up to a certain radioactive creature to maintain peace. 7. Invader Zim X Gaz AU, if this one wins, or if I ever decide to do it in the future, I might do another poll on where you'd want the setting for this AU to be. 8. Tom, Toonamis glorious host, is sent on a Sci-Fi adventure that will have him meet several faces. And they're all his own! (Basically, our current Tom ends up stranded on a desert planet with a new larger, more mobile version of SARA, Georgia the worm, and Clyde 56s, and they end up finding the factory that built Tom, and in doing so, they find the previous models of Tom, but discover that they have their own personalities!) 9. An OC ends up on a cosmic adventure with Quenn Tyr'ahnee, (aka: The Martian Queen on Duck Dodgers). On their journey, the two fall in love as they are chased down by a group of space pirates, (who may or may not look like classic Looney Tunes villains). 10. Years into the future, the Teen Titans, (comic versions mostly), are now lead by a new generation. The son of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, the daughter of Dick Grayson and Starfire, the daughter of Raven and Garfield Logan, an ageing Victor Stone, the grandson of Slade Wilson, and an orphaned monster find themsleves coming together to carry on the legacy of the Titans before them... 11. A crossover between Super Mario Odyssey, and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the story, set in an AU, A weakened Ganon creates a spell that merges his world with the one housing a certain Italian plumber. When he forms a shakey alliance with Bowser, it's up to 2 heroes to save the day. A plumber with his talking cap, and the Hero with the sword that seals the darkness must save their world's from the Koopa King, and the Demon Lord... 12. Who loves Smash Bros? I Do! So I thoight, why not make it into an actual story? Keep In mind, due to so many characters In the games, and several games at that, I made it a more simple plot by making my own that's loosely based on the first game. I will have various characters from certain games In it though. Some as heroes, some as villains, and some as side characters. In my story, a dimensional rift created by Master Hand brings various worlds together. This includes the Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Link, Fox Mccloud, Samus Aron, Solid Snake, Megaman, Kirby, Red and his pokemon, Ness, Lucas, Donkey Kong, Pit, (aka Kid Iccarus), and Captain Falcon. Characters such as Bayonetta, Lucas, Banjo Kazooie, various Princesses, the Wario Bros, (Yes, I'm putting Waluigi in there), will be forced to hold up together while our heroes work to stop Master Hand and his minions. 13. Mad Marvel. A Mad Max style universe involving various Marvel characters. For my main leads, Spiderman with his Karen AI, She-Hulk, (note that I'm toying with the idea of Spider-Man and she hulk as a couple for this story) Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Wasp, and Thor. The villains would be an immortal Joe version of Thanos, Hela, Magneto, Red Skull, MODOK, Dr. Doom and Abomination. Other characters like the X-Men, Deadpool, the Hulk, and other Avengers would pop up in other groups. The main one is the characters I listed. 14. Spiderman: Great Power. A very loose adaptation of the PS4 game. It has variations, like the action, and certain changes to the story. Such as Peter having his AI Karen and his drone from SM: Homecoming, Peter is in a relationship with She Hulk, he is friends with the Avengers, and side characters like Ned being involved on the side lines. 15. A Ben 10/ Fallout harem romance story. It loosely follows the combined plots of Fallout 3 and 4. An alternate Ben's universe is destroyed by a black hole, and so Paradox, feeling bad for him, sends him to an alternate dimension where he was unknowingly killed by an insane pyronite. Ben is brought to a fallout style dimension where various alien species have come to the Earth before and after the nukes turned it into a wasteland. As Ben works to save this world from being torn apart, he also finds himself in a harem style relationship with various woman from the series. Influenced by the story, "Ben's Harem", by GreyKing46. 16. A Smash Bros AU. In this story, Samus Aran is the captain of a group of space mercs. This team consists of Aran, Sonic from Mobius, a Pikachu tested in in a lab, a baby Metroid, Link as a Luke Skywalker type character as boy coming from a backwater planet, Mario as a space mechanic, Fox Mccloud, a cyborg version of Snake, Megaman and and Kirby as a mysterious space outlaw. 17. A fantasy story maybe? When a feared yet gentle barbarian is taken hostage by a tribe of ogres, he is soon thrown into an adventure involving high stakes danger, and romance. He soon finds himself in a relationship with several females! Yeah, trying to delve into harem style storytelling. He finds himself with an orc warrior, a runaway dwarf princess, a human thief, an enslaved centaur, a flirtatious elf, a hard headed goblin and a shy nymph. 18. A simple romance story where Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk, become a couple, fighting against various enemies as members of the Avengers.

[the-canine-king]

i answered all 50 questions in that oc question post

note: i'm only talking about the ones i made lol i was gonna link them all the character’s names to their profiles but that shit’s way too much work so: https://toyhou.se/CanineKing/characters/folder:all/tags:1/tagged:Original

1. Your first OC ever? hmm, there's probably two answers 1) an unnamed character who was basically a fantasy dressed fox kemono boy. do you remember playing a game as a kid where you look out the window in a car and you imagine someone doing sick parkour beside your car? he was the character i imagined (there was also a whole other story i dreamt up where i was some long lost princess from other world and he was gonna save me from this one but that's a whole other thing) he's technically a character i thought of but never thought of anything beyond that, i don't think i ever drew him either 2) 4 (maybe 5) characters i made in middle school where it was about these characters that come from families that can bend one particular element, and they're all friends on school trying to get used to their passed down powers and also be basically kid superheroes. i drew them out and gave them names, but i never wrote anything beyond that, but they were definitely ones that i would call my first actual written ocs 2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs? -looks at ace, eliott, and mel- no 3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else? yup! before i wasn't so big on the adopt thing, but i turned into a fan w/ collecting designs and writing a lil story for them! i adopted 38 characters, and one other that's currently still in the process of trade :P (and unfortunately trying to purge some away) 4. A character you rarely talk about? unfortunately that'd be a lot of characters bc i'm super focused on drawing ace/ mel smooching for the 548787th time 5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be? i'd probably make it eliott bc who else doesn't love a cute, shy, goat boy on the internet 6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related? ...... i can't think of any lmao 7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories? i literally only make ocs to make stories so 8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here! nah i can't do rp stuff :'D 9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else? honestly, not really if i made them lol but i guess i can if i'm not attatched to them and such, so if i just made a design and offered them up then yeah i can trade them (unless i love their design lol) 10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design? even thought i haven't fully drawn my plans for his outfit, azazel would be the most complicated in my standards 11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”? me personally, i'd say eliott bc that baby boy is trying his best story wise, either thorne or lucas (but totally lucas since thorne is a liar at heart) 12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot TOO MANY AUGH the very first oc i fell in love with but was forever homes was like a fantasy setting character that was an adventurer and had eagle legs/ other features w/ banging colours but other than that too many others 13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs? again, a lot, i guess. bc they mostly fall into that trope? aiden (even though he's trying to be a better person), damien, eve, hugh (in a way), jack, ollie, ricky, roman, and wyatt 14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory uhhhh, hard to choose, i don't have any more bc i haven't written their backstories yet lol - growing up as a theif his whole life to support him and his mother, accidentally kills someone after an awakening of powers and is had to run from his hometown - growing up being shadowed over and forced to be someone that they're not, only to get their hubris get to them, causing themselves and others get hurt and can't even remember the person they loved - growing up w/ betrayal after betrayal she closed herself off, but they met someone and slowly opened up and accidentally fell in love w/ them, only later getting caught and fell from grce, then only to find the person they trusted before not remember them - after being caught on what seemed to be a fatal accident, gets rescured from a miraculous surgery, but he's slowly forgetting what he looks like and who he was every passing second - two people close to each other, only to end up w/ betrayal and lies 15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people? absolutely but if they ask me something i haven't planned yet i'm just "UHHH" 16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)? 17. Any OC OTPs? nah ace/ mel is my notp :/ anyways if it's couples in general then: - ace/ mel - lucas/ darla - kaiko/ caspian - + a bunch of the parents in the monster family story - damon/ ollie (okay i'm really not planning for them to be together, but they cute u.u) - jebediah/ demon boyfriend - gunther/ harem - nadiya/ her girlfriend which i still haven't decided if i want her to be like a princess or a traveling swordsman of sorts) - the chimera girl i designed/ her human girlfriend - the fallen god/ mercenary 18. Any OC crackships? uhh i actually don't know :V anyone of the people listed  being w/ someone else would be a crackship? idk every other pairing i know i wouldn't like lol 19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why) i guess eliott! i guess also catherine, ricky, comet, and/ or captain since they were my fist group of ocs i wrote a bit about, but i think eliott means a lot more bc he was the one that got me thinking more about ocs  :> 20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)? for some reason i feel like rosa would be a singer? va hc would be someone w/ a strong husky voice and she would probably sing really well in kind of old slow songs you hear in old bars i also thought maybe lillie could sing too, but they’d usually be softer songs or lullabies to calm herself down it’d be nice/ cool to write for fallen god to be able to sing as well, and maybe the mercenary too so they can have nights signing together. maybe fallen god can sing songs that are in their own god language or whatever, and mercenary can watch in awe there may be others but i can’t think of them rn/ they might be charas i haven’t fully made yet 21. Your most artistic OC lmao it’s a bunch of ocs that i haven’t developed my ocs enough for me to know so let’s skip i guess 22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how? i mean, people get some stuff wrong about my ocs sometimes but they’re usually so small that i really don’t care about it lol 23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like? hmm they relatively stayed the same personality wise but i assure you everyone’s changed from their initial drawing of them 24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why? that's. a really hard choice actually lol bc i wanna be hugged by one of the parents in the monster family story i made, but i also wanna hang out w/ the characters that i can comfortably hang out w/ lol 25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?) everyone’s got a bit of shared piece of themselves w/ their ocs don’t they? 26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will? against my will? i can’t think of anything that i changed against my will so no :V 27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song? the only two i can come up rn are: alistair (devil wears a suit and tie) and rosa (o, raven) 28. Your most dangerous OC? i guess the chimera girl i made since she’s trying to fit in the modern life? i mean i still haven’t thought of her story yet but i know she Angery 29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going? ace, aiden, maybe keaton 30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection? mel, eva, roy 31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really) eliott: landscape stuff, muted colours, mystical content here and there ace: default theme, memes, probably has a side blog that’s more of an aesthetic blog mel: super aesthetic blog, romance themed 32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why? literally anyone in the renegade group i could’ve said anyone in the hunters group but they’re all fucking idiots (lee would be more closer to the renegade’s level tho) 33. Your shyest OC? eliott, roy, audrey, fallen god 34. Do you have any twin characters? i literally want to design twin ocs just to have twin ocs jdshfkjsdf 35. Any sibling characters? audrey, dylan, and elle + eve and juno + ace and jack 36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)? nah not really lol 37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human ?? i barely have human characters in the first place, unless this one means humanoid :V 38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer? iiiii can’t think of anyone other than the two parents i thought of that i’m planning to be dance teachers lmao 39. Introduce any character you want i haven’t drawn them yet but fallen god and mercenary are two unnamed characters that i recently started thinking of where fallen god falls from the heavens and looses their sight, and the merc runs from their past meet and they team up together w/ the merc being fallen god’s eyes and the fallen go being their protector 40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share! i guess it;s just sentimental ones like, first ocs, first compliments, first art/ fic of them, etc. 41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!) YEAH AND EVERYONE DRAWS THEM CUTER THAN I DO (well i mean these were from freebies, art trades/ games, and gifts but still) please check out ace’s other’s art gallery and eliott’s other’s art gallery, bc they have the most of them (bc i ask for them a lot lol) 42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods? whoever in middle school age i guess 43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess big n beefy, jokesters, heart of gold 44. Something you like about your OCs in general that i made them all (well of course not the adopted kids) 45. A character you no longer use? everyone every time i don’t focus on their story anymore than i used to ;;;; 46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly? fortunately no, and i hope no one does and it’d stop to others bc wow that’s rude as hell 47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child? okay literally the first time i made eliott, everyone i knew wanted to adopt him as their kid lol 48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure eliott, parker, elle (i love all of them tho :’D) 49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes ace, roman, ricky, aiden, dylan, eva, ollie 50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want i love all of my babes okay good night

Part 3

-------------------

"No."

"Sam, come on! It'll be fun!"

"Felix, I said no!"

Isaac glared at Sam as the broad mercenary took a seat on the worm couch, beginning to disassemble his sniper rifle for cleaning.

"Sam. We haven't met Mason's kids yet and we haven't seen Megan in literal years," he stood in front of his partner. "All I'm saying is that it would mean a lot to Wu if we both showed up."

Sam heaved a sigh, the kind that Isaac knew meant he'd given up. "What time?"

"He said some time around six. He also said Megan will be thrilled to see us again." Isaac grinned triumphantly, sagging comfortably into the arm chair across from Sam.

Sam rolled his eyes, "Just don’t embarrass yourself, Felix."

"Me? Never." Isaac drew his knife from his boot, carefully admiring the edges as they began their two hour wait before departure.

----------------------

"Sam! Isaac! I'm so glad you could join us!" Mason's broad smile lit up the moment he opened the door, ushering his partners into the threshold and towards the dining room.

"Megan! Sam and Isaac are here!" He called before turning to face them. "Make yourselves at home, I'll go get the kids."

As Mason scurried off to retrieve his children, an unnatural spring in his step, the duo's attention sass redirected to the doorway where Megan Wu had just appeared.

She smiled warmly, stepping closer to engulf each mercenary in a firm embrace, "Welcome home, boys."

Home. It's such a foreign word, a concept he wasn't sure he'd ever understand. He'd never known anything resembling home in the past--so this is what it feels like.

Megan stepped back, drawing Isaac from his thoughts, smoothing wayward strands of hair back, "Mason's been so excited for you two to visit, it's all he's talked about for the last couple months."

"Well, we're glad we're able to visit." Isaac returned with his usual charismatic grin.

Sam merely nodded, cautious eyes flickering around the room until the thundering footsteps redirected his attention to the approaching children.

Mason's oldest daughter Melody exploded into the dining room, coming to a screeching halt as her emerald eyes fell on the tall, broad mercenary standin awkwardly near the doorway. Her younger sister, Mikayla nearly collided with her sister's back, thoroughly prepared to start yelling until, she too, saw Sam watching them anxiously.

Megan smiled, stepping beside her daughters and kneeling down, "Girls, this is your Uncle Sam and your Uncle Isaac. They're your daddy's brothers."

"B-but they don't look like Daddy." Melody pointed out.

"No, but they're the closest thing I have to brothers." Mason assured them, hoisting the girls up into their seats before tickling their sides with a smile, "they're family too, Mel."

"Can Uncle Sam sit by me?" Melody asked with a shy smile, emerald gaze flickering between her parents and the dumbstruck mercenary.

"If he wants to--" Megan looked to Sam for confirmation.

He merely offered a quiet nod, caution etched into his features.

Melody's questioning stare morphed into a thrilled smile as she climbed out of her chair, her three-year-old fingers wrapping around Sam's large, scarred hand and dragged him over to the seat beside her.

"I-Isaac--" Mikayla cooed, two-year-old hands waving desperately towards Isaac. "I think Miki wants you to sit by her." Megan laughed quietly, watching the slim mercenary stare blankly at the child for a moment.

"Guess so," Isaac took his seat, the little girl's fingers already pulling at his arm to play with his hand. He hesitated, but reluctantly surrendered his hand to the child while Megan retrieved the food from the kitchen. ---------------------- The group made it most of the way through the meal, Mikayla having relinquished her grip on Isaac's hand twenty minutes ago in favor of consuming as much food as she could. For the duration of the meal, Sam had remained silent, gaze drifting from Mason, back to his food and, on a rare occasion, to the wide eyes sitting beside him, staring at him in wonder.

Isaac smirked to himself, thoroughly amused by the little girl's newfound obsession with Sam, an obsession that only made the guarded mercenary nervous and uncomfortable. As for Isaac, his gaze mostly switched between Mason and his wife, as the two exchanged comments, most of which were directed at either mercenary.

This carried on until Melody interrupted the adult's conversation with a bold question directed at a very stoic Sam, "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Melody!" Megan chided, disapproval etched into her features as she scolded the girl, "we don't ask guests--"

"It's all right." Sam lifted his hand slowly, gathering his wits before he glanced to Mason for his approval.

Mason merely nodded, mildly displeased that his oldest would bring such a topic up at dinner, but, as a mercenary himself, he couldn't help but be anything but surprised.

Sam met the girl's curious gaze, offering a single word of confirmation, "Yes." Her eyes widened, a broad grin spreading across her face as all attention to food was abandoned in favor of drilling the war-torn soldier beside her. She shifted in her chair, fully facing Sam, "How many?"

"A lot." Sam looked back at his food, slowly continuing to eat.

"Do you have a family?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because of the War." Sam kept a stoic expression, but Isaac could see the agony bleeding from his eyes as he kept them trained on the plate before him.

"Do you miss them?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any friends?"

Mason jumped in, "Melody, sweetheart, that's why he and Isaac are here. They're close friends of mine. They're family."

"But--”

"Family doesn't end with blood." Sam supplied, glancing at the girl, "your father and Isaac are the brothers I never truly had. They're family now."

Melody seemed to mull this over for a moment before opening her mouth to speak, only for her mother to jump in, "That's enough, Mel. Let the man eat."

Melody nodded, turning back to her plate, "Yes, ma'am."

------------------ Dinner had come to an uneventful close, allowing the group to relocate to the family room. Mason had taken up a spot on the couch with Megan sitting close by, the girls playing with toys on the floor in the middle of the room. Isaac and Sam had chosen individual arm chairs across from the Wu's, Isaac chattering endlessly with the couple while Sam silently watched the children.

"So, Mace mentioned that you're pregnant again, huh?" Isaac asked, swirling the beer bottle's contents with a smile.

"Yep, kid number three is on the way...soon we'll be outnumbered." Melody laid a hand on Mason's forearm.

Mason smirked, "Don't worry, we'll manage, Meg."

Isaac chuckled, "Pretty soon you'll need a babysitter with how many kids'll be running around this place."

"We'll probably need to find a bigger place for that very reason." Megan smiled warmly, hand drifting to rest on her stomach.

The adults' attention was drawn to Sam as Melody scampered across the floor, climbing into the mercenary's lap. He looked at her questioningly, only to have her point to his hair, silently asking permission to play with it.

He picked her up, standing and setting the girl on the seat behind him before taking a seat on the floor, pulling the ponytail out. Melody giggled, fingers already tangling in his long hair, separating it for the braid.

Sam shot a pointed glare at Isaac, "If you ever mention this to anyone--" Isaac laughed, "Not to worry, Sam, this one will be our family secret."

Part 3

The Results Are In! 

I got way more responses than I thought I would. It started out pretty tied between Merc x Mel and Merc x Carn x Mel, but eventually the OT3 took a big lead. At some point overnight Merc x Mel caught up a little bit. Still the OT3 took first place. 

Also, can we talk about the 13 people who voted for Mercury x Easel? It almost tied Merc x Carnation xD

Chapter 38

Chris

“Mmm damn baby” I said stroking Kae once more before pulling out of her gently and kissing her lips.

She rolled over on top of me and I knew she wanted more but I needed a minute “woah, give me a few minutes you got way to much energy tonight.” I said squeezing her small waist.

She giggled “you got five minutes.”

I chuckled and pushed her hair from her face “yo what is good with you? You’re never this horny.”

She straddled my waist and the sheet dropped from her body revealing perky breast and a small pudge signaling my growing baby “well when you mix pregnant and engagement I think it might be a horny trigger.”

I laughed “so you saying I should’ve married you years ago huh?”

“Maybe you should’ve, but this ring makes up for your lateness” she said staring at her hand.

She was truly happy and so was I. Kae was going to be the final chapter in my life. We had a baby on the way it just made sense. I could never put Robin through a round two of this either. Shit I didn’t want to go through a round two of this myself. I should’ve cut the shit two and half kids ago. But, I’m done telling tales I’m going to do right by my lady trust.

“So how do you feel about getting married pregnant?” I asked laughing when she gave me a crazy look.

“Absolutely not! I’m going to spend my pregnancy planning so that a year from today. The day you proposed will be our wedding day, and by then I’ll get this body in order for my dress and our honeymoon” she said glowing as she gushed about our future together.

I could literally feel the happiness and excitement radiating from her. All this girl ever wanted was to be mine I don’t know exactly how I missed it before, but I guess back then I was young and dumb. Then I met Robin and I thought she was gonna be it for me. All this time maybe I should’ve just did right by Kae.

“I love you, you know that?” I asked cutting her off from her wedding plans.

She giggled and bent down to kiss my lips ever so gently “mmm I love you too baby so much” she said as she began planting fiery seductive kiss after fiery seductive kiss on my lips.

With in no time CJ was back standing ready to play and she was more than willing to play with him as she slid down my shaft. I watched her please herself and me and thought to myself if I had to deal with this for the rest of my life then I was gonna be A ok. I had to let Robin be great and stop holding her back.

This was it no go backs.

_____ *Two Days Later*

I pulled up to Robin’s store to drop the kids off. She asked that I just come here rather than to the house and I obliged. We haven’t really been speaking much and I get it. Her sister said she told her about the proposal and she’s just been really to herself. I’m also sure she saw The Shaderoom & Balleralert post Kae’s instagram pictures from our proposal and romantic weekend so I’m just going with the flow. I don’t believe I could ever hurt Robin more than I’ve hurt her throughout the years, but she likes to act like she’s good so I never really know.

“Y'all ready to see mommy?” I asked Kyia & Christian and they nodded.

“Aight Chris unhook your sister and slide over so you can get out” I said killing engine and unbuckling my seat belt so I can get out.

I ran around the car and opened the door of course with the paps swarming the car “aight y'all can get pics just back up because I got my kids” I said to them before picking up my daughter.

Little Chris climbed out the car and closed in the door grabbing my hand “daddy will people take pictures of me to when I’m your age?”

I chuckled as we walked toward her store “sure if that’s what you want they sure will. Just be better than daddy ok.”

He smiled and looked up at me “yay ok!”

When we walked in the store Mercedeh was behind the counter on her phone “hey Merc where’s Mel?”

She looked up “hey guys, she’s um in her office, just wait until she comes out.”

I raised my eyebrow at her “why? I brought the kids.”

I ignored her and made my way towards Robin’s office with Mercedeh yelling “Chris wait!”

I pushed her door open to see her sitting on some dudes lap them sucking face “mommy!” Little Chris sang running in behind me.

Normally I would flip. This time I ain’t even have it in me. I was just wondering why she’d have some nigga here when her kids were coming, but Robin did this once so I’m sure they knew him already. Judging from the way Mercedeh was acting I’m sure I was the last to find out about son.

“Hey baby” she said smiling at him getting up, her eyes on me the entire time.

“Imma give Kyia to your sister. She’s falling asleep. Call me or text me if they need something” I said turning and leaving out.

She of course ran behind me “Chris wait, don’t just leave like that!”

“I gotta go Robin, Kae is waiting for me to take her crib shopping. Wassup?” I turned asking her normally.

She looked confused as hell “Luke is just a friend.”

I chuckled “damn you kiss your friends like that? It’s cool Rob you don’t gotta explain do you.”

“Chris don’t make me feel bad about this” she said looking down at her five inch red bottom heels.

I shrugged “you don’t gotta feel bad we ain’t together. Do you.

She sighed and looked at me “you picked her over me. You don’t get to have the I don’t care attitude.”

I chuckled “Robin stop, I do care about you I do so cut your pity party. You got Luke, just watch him around my kids. Good day ma'am.” I said handing a now sleeping Kyia over to Mercedeh gently so she wouldn’t start to cry if she knew I was leaving. I kissed her small head and headed along my way.

“Bye daddy” I heard Christian say.“

"See you later lil me” I said walking out to my car.

I got in my car and headed home to get my fiancé we still had a baby to prepare for. I was not about to stress about Robin acting out.

Robin

I looked at Mercedeh and she gave me that I told you so look. I scoffed and walked back into my office to see a waiting patiently Luke. Luke James, fine ass Luke James. We’d been seeing each other for a month now. I met him a few months ago and he asked for my number, but I was so into Chris I’d never go out with him.

When Chris told me Kae was pregnant again we got close. He’s really sweet and patient with me. I explained to him that I was trying hard to get over my ex husband, and he said he was going to be the man that made me forget. Every time I was with him I did forget and it felt good real good for what it was, a distraction.

“You in trouble?” He asked smiling at me.

“No he was so calm I was taken back” I said truly confused.

“Is that not the reaction you wanted?” He asked me.

“I don’t know, I just know he’s such a hot head. I’m just more shocked than anything, but did you still want us to get lunch?” I asked switching the subject.

“You know you gotta tell me what he’s done to get you so hooked. If you don’t open up to me we can’t grow together Robin” he said getting up to meet me in the middle of the room.

“I don’t know it’s been 7 years you know. I’ve loved him since the beginning. He was there for me and wanted me when no one else did. He helped me through my past and things just got sour. He made a mistake and I couldn’t handle it so I ran. I guess when I realized I shouldn’t of ran him and his ex made a family and it crushed me. It still does watching him love her the way he did me, but I gotta understand what we had we don’t. I went bat shit crazy so he could come back” I paused laughing.

“I got to let go. Let go and-”

“Let a man get a chance, can we try that?” Luke asked brushing my curls out my head.

He gently caressed my cheek and I grabbed his hand “I’m scared Luke. I don’t want to waste your time”.

He chuckled “I’m not going anywhere. You’re not going to drive me away like you said you did Odell.”

I smiled at him but I kept feeling like he’d grow tired of me never loving him fast enough the way he loved me if we grew to that. Then there’s, Odell I always feel like maybe I should’ve just let him in. O wanted to marry me and us to have kids, I don’t know why I let things get so out of hand. I was willing to try with Luke though, because who knows maybe this was my future. It’s just that everyday that has passed since Chris proposed to Kae I keep looking at my old wedding rings wishing I never took them off. He did everything to put a stop to our divorce but I hated him. He’s loved me for so long I should’ve just let him love me like the fuck he asked.

“Why are you so perfect?” I asked him.

He chuckled “I’m not, I’m just good people.”

He placed his hand on the small of my back and bent down to meet my 5'3” frame. He gently kissed my lips and I immediately returned the favor. His lips were soft like cotton and I could feast on them all day. His kisses set a fire in my draws that needed to be put out, but it was to early for all of that. Just as I pulled back from our kiss my phone went off.

“You gonna get that?” He asked.

“Do I have to?” I asked making him laugh.

“I think you should then we can grab a bite. Sound good?”

I shook my head yes and answered my phone that was in my hand the entire time without looking “This is Robin.”

“So I’m in LA, can we talk?” His voice boomed through the line.

The sound of his voice made me instantly smile but I was confused about why he’d want to talk “me? I mean yeah, but why now?”

“Robin, I just think we need to hash some stuff out. You owe me that” he said and I agreed.

“Yeah O, just text me the details we can talk” I said.

“Alright, later” he said hanging up the phone.

I looked at Luke and I opened my mouth to tell him what happened but he stopped me “relax you don’t have to tell me everything. Let’s go though I know you’re hungry.”

I grabbed my Chanel purse and smiled picking it up because I remembered when Chris bought it for me on our second wedding anniversary. I’d thought he forgot about it because he was acting so busy, but of course he was being slick because I woke up to it on the pillow next to me along with clues to finding my other gifts. He was always so thoughtful, my smile made him feel like everything would be alright. I guess it’s true what they say you never miss your water until your well runs dry.

“Robin you alright?” Luke asked getting my attention.

“Um, yeah but would I be the worst if I asked for a rain check? I suddenly just want to get some pizza and watch Scooby Doo with my babies” I said truthfully.

“Yeah, I figured once they got here you’d just want to be with them anyways. I’ll FaceTime you tonight. I’m gonna just go to the gym” he said kissing my forehead before leaving.

I sighed and sat down at my desk holding my head in my hands. There was no way out of this one. A part of me felt like Chris refrained from picking me because he thought he’d be putting me through what he did before. I don’t think me telling him I was ready to sign up for whatever came our way was enough for him. I’m not who I was before. I don’t scare so easily anymore. All I wanted was his word and his love, but it’s time for me to move on.

“Hey, Ky was whining for Chris so I think you’ll be able to sooth her cries until Chris calls later to sing to her” Mercedeh said bringing in my big baby rubbing her eyes.

I reached out for her and immediately clung to me once she saw my face “awe moms baby. Want us to get pizza and go home with big brother?” I asked her and she nodded.

“Ok daddy is going to call you later, don’t cry baby” I said rubbing her back.

“Hey can you close up for me tonight? I’ll call Ashley to come help. I just want to get home, is that ok or you’d rather I stay?” I asked looking at her as she typed away on her on her phone.

“Ashley just walked in the door so you’re good. I put the kids bags in your car a few minutes ago, so you can go. Robin just don’t use being home all the time as your excuse to mope over Chris. Call Odell he loves you and let him” she said pushing her hair out her face.

“You always were team Odell” I said laughing as I held Ky against my chest.

“Yeah you were too, I don’t know what happened but he came by here yesterday looking for you. He said he’s not over you, so you better let the nigga that wants to put a ring on your finger put it” she said making me smile.

“Well girl he called me today, he said he wants to talk and I agreed. He texted for me to meet him at NOBU tomorrow night. So we’ll see, but what about Luke?” I asked.

She smacked her teeth “girl please forget him for now. You can drop the kids at my house and get them in the morning. August loves them and get your man. Chris made his choice now you need to make yours.”

I nodded and said nothing. She was right, but it didn’t change the fact that I wanted a different out come. I guess I was just going to stop fighting the inevitable and trying to change shit I couldn’t.

“I’ll let it go, just bare with me. It’s not that easy but I’m trying. It would be so much easier if I didn’t have to see his ass every week, but I’m trying” I said standing up with Ky grabbing my stuff so we could leave.

“You’ll be ok Robin, you were ok before and you’ll be ok now” Mercedeh said pulling in my office door as we left.

“I know girl, hey Ash” I said quickly changing the subject.

“Hey girl, gimme my baby” she said rushing over and grabbing Kyia.

Those kids loved their Auntie Ash “hey how’s my bun in the oven?” I asked rubbing her belly.

“Girl I’m over being pregnant, I got three more months of this hot shit. But what’s up with you? How you been doing?” She asked placing Ky on her feet and holding her hand cause I’m guessing she was hurting her back.

“I’m good for the most part. Meeting Odell tomorrow, so we gotta see how that goes” I said sighing.

“Mmmm well you know I’m team his sexy ass, but what about chocolate Luke?” She said making me laugh.

“You laughing girl but these niggas want your Latin/Surinamese ass you crying over Chris” she said smiling.

I giggled “whatever. Christian baby say bye and let’s go. Mommy is tired chile.”

Chris looked up from playing on Cedeh’s phone and did exactly what I said before grabbing his sister’s hand “come on mommy.”

“I’ll be ok y'all stop worrying about me. I’m going to have my happy ending to y'all. I just gotta feed my babies before I do” I said making the girls laugh.

I had to keep everything around me on the up and up. It was the only way I’d be ok. It also helped that I had numerous kinds of male attention. Chris would always be my heart, but I guess I just had to let go.

disabled tf2 fans with disability hcs

methinks soldier has hypermobility and wears hearing aids, also bc of his constant rocket jumping (and lots of lecturing from medic) he wears knee braces in and out of field

Oh adored- I like 2 imagine both demo and soldier are hard of hearing due to their lines of work. I feel like demo’s more likely to try with sign language than soldier will- not that soldier doesn’t do sign, but not nearly as much. He will simply yell at top volume and that’s how he’ll talk, maggot!

Personality

The good Dawn is a very gentle and caring pony. She's very intellectual and rational, often acting as the voice of reason. Dawn is very lovable and has a good sense of humor, she particularly fond of puns, no matter how bad. Naturally, Dawn is a great listener and ponies come to her to confess their problem. Surprisingly, Tequila’s daughter would rather talk to Dawn about her issues than her to her mother.

The bad Lacking proper parental figure, Dawn tends to be emotionally dependent. Dawn would be the kind to stay in an unhealthy relationship (luckily no such thing happened.) However, she isn't necessarily a pushover, she just tends to be over forgiving. She cannot stand being on her own for extended periods of time and is extremely overprotective of her friends. Often being quite maternal on them and constantly checking on their well-being. She takes rejection very badly.

Interest & Hobbies Dawn is an avid reader and would read about anything she finds in good condition. However, she prefers documentaries over novels. Especially the ones on medical subject or History book. She knows a great deal about how ponies lived before the great war. She also likes to sing and does have a pretty decent voice but she doesn't sing when there's pony around. Not even Tequila. Dawn enjoy cooking and was usually the one cooking in her merc group. She also enjoys swimming and his very glad to live by the sea.

Sexual behavior First and foremost, Dawn is extremely uncomfortable talking about the subject. Being bisexual, her first partner was a mare she meets during her travels. (She wouldn't have much chance with stallions as Tequila beat down every single one who dared to approach her.) During intercourse, Dawn is rather submissive and never take the lead. She doesn't have any fetishes.

Trivia • At some point, thing got awkward between Dawn and Tequila as she kissed her after Dawn misinterpreted her friend’s feeling. (Teq was a bit intoxicated that night and got rather lustful.) They eventually sorted it out.

• She’s always seen wearing dogs tags with her and Tequila’s name on it (a gift from Teq). She never takes them off.

•��Green is her favorite color.

• Although she doesn’t really celebrate her birthday for obvious reason, she adds a year to her age after the month of May has passed, the month she was found. She’s however born November 16.

• She dislikes the taste of alcohol and would rather drink water, always claiming that somepony have to be sober when Tequila passed out. However, Tequila managed to get Dawn drunk once.

• Dawn is physically stronger than what most ponies would expect. Most of her ancestor were sturdy earth ponies.

Early Life Dawn was born to Golden Rose and Steel Stomper in the military-oriented settlement of Vanderhoof. Despite the couple being younger than usual parents (Golden being 20 and Steel being 21) they took very good care of the little Dawn. However, Steel has a very busy schedule being in the Steel Ranger patrol that was posted in town. Golden being a botanist, she was often going on trip to find rare plants. Neither of them really trusted the ponies in town to keep an eye on Dawn. Golden decided to bring her foal with her. It definitely slowed her trip down but Dawn was a very docile foal and she seemed to enjoy the nature. Golden Rose really cherished those bonding moment with her daughter. Until the unfortunate day where she got face to face with a radscorpion. Giving all she had, Golden managed to fend off the beast and protect her baby as well. But she couldn't avoid one of the stinger attacks that had scratched her rear. The mother ran as fast as she could to the nearest help possible but the poison eventually paralyzed her hinds legs. She held her daughter tight and cried. She knew she wouldn't make it, and to that extent, Dawn as well. She was nearly gone when a pegasus settler spotted her from the sky. He went down to help her but it was too late. She barely said her last word: “Please… Take care of Dawn… My little Dawn Breaker…”

Golden was given a very short but respectful funeral at the pegasus town, Shire Shores. However, everypony didn't quite know what to do with the little foal. Nopony wanted to take care of a kid of such a young age. Even more that little pony was constantly upset due to not finding her mother. Dawn was passed around from pony to pony for a few months and eventually grew ill with a fever. Until the town doctor, Ironclock, decided to step in. He nursed the foal back to health and kept her under his care to avoid her of getting sick again. He didn't really want to adopt Dawn in particular but he couldn't stand knowing that his town let an infant died due nopony giving her proper care.

Dawn grew under the care of the Doctor and started to learn the medic ways from an early age. She was a very smart and curious filly, usually never failing the doctor's expectation. He taught her many academic subjects in his spare time. Seeing her potential, the doctor set his mind to make Dawn his assistant and eventually successor.

Meeting Tequila and Dawn’s cutie mark. Around the age of 12, Dawn assisted the Doctor in rescuing Tequila Shots, who suffered from a Radhog attack and lost her right front leg. Being around the same age, Dawn took the recovery of Tequila to a personal level. Despite Tequila harsh attitude toward her caretaker, she alway tried to comfort the wounded pony. After witnessing Tequila’s breakdown. She vowed to always take care of her and to alway be there, and thus she earned her cutie mark. A red cross over a winged sun.

Even tho Tequila continued to be aggressive, she quickly mellowed down and became friend with Dawn. Their friendship rapidly grew to a very close level. Basically, no one else but Dawn was allowed in Tequila’s life.

However, her friend wasn't doing so well overcoming her accident and went into a depression. Following her caring instinct, she did everything she could to help her, even manage to found her a prosthetic.

Mercenary years Dawn decided (against the doctor will) to go travel Equestria with Tequila in hope to lift her spirit. Also, Dawn curiosity wanted to see more and learn even more about pony medicine. They were accompanied by Triple Sec who was from the town and meet along the way Blazing Guns and Sweet Ciders. Dawn role in the little merc group was clear. Field Medic. She was handling the medical supplies and checking on everypony medical. She would constantly ask Blaze to stop smoking (but she never did). Everypony in the group besides Tequila, called her Doc. On rare occasions she would engage in combat but only for self-defense. Depending on the group’s mission Dawn stayed behind, ready to patch them if they get hurt. She would also take care of random ponies in need of medical attention. Dawn and Sweet often had an argument about either she should give away her expertise for free. Dawn never thought about making a profit out of it. She just wanted to help the sick and injured. Sweet Cider being the group’s merchant and treasurer, saw a huge miss opportunity. (He wasn't very pleased that she would use the group’s medical supplies and gain nothing in return.) After about 5 years of mercenary work, Dawn and Tequila started to grow homesick. They decided to go back home. Dr. Ironclock was upset about her not being there for five years but he forgave her due to the fact that she had learned many things he didn't even know himself. (And she brought back many valuable books.) The now 22-year-old mare retook her place as the Doctor’s assistant.

Shire Shores Medical Center & Dawn’s family. As the years passed, Dawn co-founded with Ironclock the SSMC or Shire Shores Medical Center. They moved everything from the barn and build and hospital into an old post office. They would gather medical equipment over the years and hire a staff. They even made an ambulance out of an old wagon. One of the staff members was a green unicorn by the name of Heartbeat. He had his life saved by Dr.Ironclock a few years ago and felt like he should dedicate his life to help other ponies. He quickly became infatuated of the Doctor’s assistant. She did as well. Didn't took them very long to hook up. The two of them got married sometimes after. Tequila got married as well and has two foals of her own. Around Moonshine’s first birthday (Tequila’s second child). She started to question her own fertility. She really wanted to have kids of her own but never got pregnant no matter how much she tries. She became really depressed about it. They didn't really have a way to know if Dawn or Heartbeat was the infertile one, but Dawn always assumed it was her fault. As the years passed she eventually accepted it.

On a winter day, a pregnant mare came into Shire Shores, already in labor. Dawn assisted her into giving birth to her foal like she did with many other mares of the town. Oddly enough the mother was acting rather strange. She didn't want to name her child or hold her. She simply feeds her so she wouldn't start crying. Much to Dawn’s chagrin, the mare disappeared once she had recovered from the birth. She really couldn't understand why a mother would abandon her child. Nevertheless, Dawn decided to adopt the foal despite Heartbeat’s unwillingness. (The couple had a really heated argument about it.) But eventually, Heartbeat grew to like the little Unicorn with a zebra coat. They named her Onyx Melody. Dawn was a very good mother as one would expect her to be, she was kind and caring and provided anything Mel could need. The little one was very loved and never cared that she was adopted, Dawn was her mother and she never felt to need to know her biological parents. 7 years passed for the little family until something rather unexpected happened. It took a while for Dawn to notice it but she was gaining weight, to the point she couldn't zip her iconic black jacket. She was shocked to learn that she was, in fact, pregnant. After all these years nothing happened. She didn't really know what to think of it, in her head she would never have a child of her own. She was also a bit worried about the child’s health as she was already 35 years old. But the delivery went without issues and they named the colt Steadfast. She raised him pretty much the same way she raised Onyx, however she seemed less patient with him. Probably due to her being older.

Older years. Dawn became the head of the medical staff for nearly all the remaining of her life after Ironclock grew too old to occupied the post. Steadfast got married and had kids of his own during his travels across Equestria. Onyx never got any since she was infertile due to being a cross between a Zebra and a Unicorn. However, it never bothered Mel. Sadly Heartbeat died from a heart attack due to his heart condition around the age of 50. She was very saddened but still go on, still doing was she does best, healing others. Her health started to worsen rapidly after her long life friend, Tequila, died from severe pneumonia despite Dawn’s best efforts. On official record, Dawn died of cancer at 72 but many believe she died of grief.

Project Hollywood

We walked back to the house to meet the owners and sign the paper- work. The former home of Dean Martin (and later the comedian Eddie Griffin), the Rat Pack crib was just above Mel's Diner on Sunset Boulevard. It was $36,000 cheaper per month than the supermansion, and it was walk- ing distance from the clubs on Sunset Boulevard.

The living room looked like a ski lodge. There was a fireplace, a sunken dance floor, a thirty-foot-high ceiling, a massive wood-inlay wall mural, and a large bar in the corner. The space could easily hold a few hundred people for seminars and parties. There were two bedrooms off the living room on the ground floor. Outside each of these rooms was a staircase leading up to another bedroom. And then there was a small maid's room off the kitchen.

The crown jewel of the house was the multitiered backyard. On one level, there were two patios shaded by palm and lemon trees. On the second level, there was a large brick terrace with a peanut-shaped pool, a Jacuzzi, a dining area, and a working barbecue and refrigerator. Beyond it lay a land- scaped hill with a path winding up to a small, secluded deck at the top of the property. From there, we could see the glittering lights and ten-story movie billboards of Hollywood. The place was a chick magnet. There was no way we could fail here.

Papa put his name down on the lease. This, in addition to paying the larger of the rents, earned him the right to the master bedroom, which came equipped with a raised platform intended for a bed, picture windows, and a fireplace. The bathroom was decked out with a glass-encased circular shower, two walk-in closets, and a whirlpool bathtub built for three.

The possibilities were limitless. Papa had visions of renting the house for after-Grammy parties, movie premieres, and corporate events. He no

longer sarged girls when he went out; instead he sarged promoters and celebrities, trying to make connections for Project Hollywood after-parties. He even used Speed Seduction and NLP tactics to try and hypnotize people into investing in the house.

In his spare time, he made bids for tanning beds, movie projectors, pool tables, and stripper poles on eBay. He wanted to make Project Hollywood a place Paris Hilton would want to come every weekend to party.

There were still two bedrooms that needed to be filled, so we issued a call for roommates on Mystery's Lounge. The response was terrifying: Everybody wanted in.

The first night, we all sat in the Jacuzzi from midnight until the skin hung loosely from our bodies, gazing at the palm trees of our new place and the lights of the Hollywood clubs we would soon descend upon. Mystery sang the entire soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar to the night sky. Papa told us about his plan to use the house for A-list Hollywood parties. And Herbal served watermelon drinks from his blender. There were no girls, and we didn't need any to validate us. Tonight, it was just the boys. We had done it. Project Hollywood was not just a fantasy anymore.

"We'll make the house famous with our public exploits," Mystery pre- dicted as we all sat there with smiles plastered to our faces. "People will drive by and say, 'This was the home of the Hollywood celebrities Style, Mystery, Papa, and Herbal. They built their careers here and had parties that were the envy of the world.'"

Herbal was our fourth roommate. He was a tall, pale, even-tempered twenty-two-year-old PUA from Austin who peacocked by painting his nails silver and wearing all-white clothing. Like the rest of us, he was a reformed geek. But he owned a house in Texas, a Mercedes Benz S600, a Rolex, an of- fice on Sunset Boulevard that he never went to, and a robot vacuum cleaner. They were impressive holdings for someone his age. He had earned them in some kind of shady casino operation, in which he hired others to gamble for him. In his spare time—which was basically all his time—he explored caves, recorded extremely catchy rap songs, and surfed the Internet for un- usual items to buy and then never use.

Mystery insisted that everyone in the home have an identity—so we had a magician, a writer, a gambler, and a businessman. It was a combination that would prove more dramatic than the most sensationalist reality show.

A few days later, Papa moved a fifth roommate, Playboy, into the maid's room. Playboy was a party promoter from New York who earned my admi- ration when he told me he'd worked for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. He was genetically good-looking—tall and slender with thick black hair—but he had a bad habit of wearing long artsy scarves and pants pulled up to his belly button. He had quit his job to move in with us, so Papa hired him to work for Real Social Dynamics in exchange for rent.

Then there was Xaneus. He lived in a tent in the backyard.

Xaneus was a short, stocky, fresh-faced college soccer player from Col- orado who had begged to live in the house. He said he'd sleep anywhere and do anything. So Papa pitched a tent for him, asked him to pay for utilities and house cleaning, and brought him into the Real Social Dynamics fold as an intern.

For the first two weeks, all we did was marvel at the house. We'd done it; we had beaten the system. We had the most desirable location in West Hol- lywood. And we had lucked out with our roommates. Herbal had already scheduled a Pickup Artist Summit—the first annual—to take place in our house in a month.

At our initial house meeting, we established a structure for Project Hollywood, putting Papa in charge of social activities and Herbal in charge of finances. Then we laid down the rules: No unapproved house- guests for more than a month; anyone conducting a seminar in the living room has to give the house fund a ten percent kickback; and no sarging women another PUA has brought into the house. All these rules would soon be broken.

I initially enjoyed living with roommates, leaving my introverted writer's world and being part of a whole that was greater than the sum of its parts. Every morning, I'd wake up and see Herbal and Mystery pitching quarters into an ice bucket in the middle of the living room or jumping off a stepladder into a pile of pillows. They were like two kids in search of a playground.

"I have a feeling that you and I are going to become great friends," Mys- tery told Herbal one morning.

When Playboy threw our first house party, five hundred people showed up. We were setting a great example—maybe not to the neighbors, but at least to the community. Within a month, we had franchised.

A group of PUAs moved into Herbal's old house and christened it Project Austin.

Some of our former students in San Francisco rented a five-bedroom house in Chinatown and held pickup seminars in their living room, giving birth to Project San Francisco.

Several college students in Perth, Australia, found a house together and started Project Perth, approaching one hundred women in their first three days on campus.

And four PUAs Mystery and I had trained in Sydney rented a beach apartment with an elevator that opened directly into a club below them. This was Project Sydney.

Nobody had understood the potential of this whole pickup community, the bonding power of dudes talking about chicks. We had manicures, we had mansions, and we had game. We were ready to infect the world like a disease.

Related to the last post I made: I need more Fucked up and evil pyro and engie Dynamics like I need air. I really gotta talk about it- so. I kinda did. Here’s a big ol ramble under the cut.

Like. Idk there’s a lot that can be done with even a pybro dynamic. Imagine being the one to see first hand what your friend always cavalier, upbeat- even serene in battle loosing his grip. His hard work blowing up In his (and yours) face- back of your head thinking it’s your fault somehow because you didn’t get there fast enough, didn’t kill the enemy fast enough, didn’t watch his back fast enough. Most days it’s fine but some days it’s too much even for him. Sure he never takes his anger out on you but it’s hard to see cherubs get a metal wretch caved through the skull- even if they were bad. He’s always consistent and even kind, to you. but you’ve seen the worst of him- hell, sometimes he might even tell you the worst he’s done cuz he knows damn well you won’t say a thing to anybody. Even if you did, would they believe you? Of course not.

There’s just so many possibilities. Pyro knows how hard engineer pushes himself better than anyone- only exception maybe being fellow defense. But the true extant they know. Engie acts all put together, reasonable polite and caring. but pyro knows Better, cuz he’s seen it. And past that, too. pyro can be perceptive enough to know Even what’s been hidden from him, because. I think deep down there’s stuff engie would rather keep hidden.

And I don’t say all of this to imagine a whole “woah what if this positive dynamic was actually toxic af and EVUL” cuz that’s not my jam. More like- if the negative aspects get explored, especially ways that one doesn’t consider as much. (And that’s not even getting into the weeds of “caretaker” roles.. maybe I’ll maybe that a separate post.) Like-they care about each other. So much. In their own messed up emotionally unstable and despond and way but they do. There’s joy and love in whatever the fuck they have going on.

Speaking of headcanons I think Radigan and dell have the equal and yet opposite flavors of autism and it’s like. Radigan never had to mask in his life because ppl just thought he was a contemplative genius (he was, but also just had like. 1-2 facial expressions he can manage on a good day.) and dell got skilled at masking. And by masking I mean the same couple scripts for southern typical politeness and gettin real good at pretending to listen to things he doesn’t care about.
