#Wren Answers

[rememberwren]

Thinking about being too drunk to cum, being stuck right on the border of it as you pathetically whine and moan as you try your hardest. Toys dying left and right while it's not enough. It isn't until your roommates walk in after a night out that you can suddenly find that release you crave.

Nothing else is working.

You’ve been at it for an entire hour, til your clit feels numb from the vibration of your wand and the batteries have died in your other toys. Your fingers are pruned where you slip them inside your pussy. You’ve watched porn that you would rather die than admit to, the kind of videos that usually have you googling ‘can my roommates see my website history on our internet bill’ once you’ve come down from your high, except tonight the high won’t come.

You’re loose and relaxed and so fucking wet and nothing is working.

Then the idea comes, and it makes you flush hot all over. You glance over at the clock on the nightstand and see ten minutes until your roommates promised to be home.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You tug on a pair of loose shorts and nothing underneath. Slipping from your bedroom, you creep into the living room. The flat is eerily silent without Simon’s heavy footsteps and Johnny’s endless chatter, but the silence has your blood pumping faster, your pulse wringing in your ears. Nine minutes.

You plant yourself on the couch right in front of the front door and slip your shorts off until they dangle from one ankle. You should have laid a towel down; you’re so wet you’re going to make a mess on the couch, but there’s no time to make a detour to the bathroom. You drag your fingers through your slick folds and up over your swollen clit.

Eight minutes. But it could be early, you think to yourself, working your fingers faster. After all, who arrives home exactly when they say they will? You imagine it vividly in your mind: the door opening, your roommates’ stunned faces at the sight of you spread out on the shared space’s couch, legs spread and fingers knuckles deep inside yourself. Just the thought makes you flush all over.

But it pushes you closer to that untouchable edge, that peak you’ve been chasing all night. You feel it in your belly, growing, swelling like that spongy spot inside you that you pause to tap your fingers against, thighs trembling. Six minutes, oh god. But imagining their dark eyes on you? It’s working, your nipples tightening into aching little peaks, your toes curling. Did you just hear the elevator opening—are those voices coming closer to your door? Just a little further—

The scratch of the key in the lock sends you over the edge, rips a groan from your throat as your pussy clenches down around your fingers, longing for something thicker to hold onto but happy to take what is long overdue. Your fingers are soaked, palm wet as you wrench your shorts back on and up—

Just as Johnny and Simon come in. They take in the sight of you sitting on the sofa, breathing like you’ve run a marathon, and share a glance with each other.

“Alright, lass?” Johnny asks, slipping his shoes off.

“Great,” you breath, pussy still fluttering. “Welcome home. Have fun tonight?”

You make small talk, subtly wiping your fingers clean on your shorts and edging towards the bathroom. You make your escape as soon as you can, rinsing your hands clean, legs still shaking from your orgasm.

“She was definitely rubbing one out,” Johnny mutters under his breath as soon as you’re out of sight.

“No shit, Johnny.”

“Knew we should have taken the alley home. Would have been here in half the time.”

“Next time.”

Hey its safe to take him home and he's really really homesick and I think it'd be good for him getting better if I took him home now.. can you or IC get a portal to the manor for us to go home in?

Again thank you so so much for letting us stay Wren. It means the world, if you ever need somewhere to crash you can come stay with us when I get me n Dickie our new home.

@theredhoodofgotham

[allthegoodusernamesaretakenohno]

Sometimes I just want to convince myself I hate Will now so I'd be able to put a WSS DNI in my profile or some bullshit like that just so I could interact with the rest of the fandom because isn't having your own moral system exhausting when most people disagree.

Then I remember what my favorite ship is and I'm like "yeah actually that would not work"

it’s exhausting yeah. I try to find parts of the fandom that aren’t all “wss dni” and witchhunty, but when I do, it’s like walking on eggshells :(

[hjaopanses]

tell me about a fun bird please

Oh do I have the fun bird for you!

So in my local area we have a few different large parrot species, but the two relevant to this story are Sulfur Crested Cockatoos and Long Billed Corellas. They’re temperamental destructive birds that I absolutely adore.

Now the theory I have goes, is that during nesting time, there’s a limited amount of hollows in my area (less old growth trees nowadays, more urbanisation of the rural area I live in) and as such they’re in high demand and fiercely competed over.

And sometimes you can get one of the species chasing the other out and off their eggs and then laying their eggs in the nest, eventually raising both their young and the orphaned eggs. And when this happens the resulting adult is more interested in a mate from their adoptive flock rather than they own species. Which is what leads us to our Fun Bird.

A wild Hybrid of the two!

This guy has a weird mixed phenotype of the two original species, with the markings, blue eye ring, and crest shape of a long billed corella and the beak, crest colour and size of a Sulfur crested cockatoo, and a mix of the red and yellow in colouration that results in this lovely orange. They follow the local migration of the Sulfur Crested Cockatoo and Long Bill Corella flock and as spring starts, they arrive in my backyard.

As such, I have a number of photos of them, and even watched one year when they had a mate with another Sulfur Crested Cockatoo.

Now before you say, “Are you sure this isn’t some stray citron crested cockatoo?” Believe me that was my first guess when this unusual bird appeared in our backyard. But the hybrid only resembles that species in crest colouration and otherwise none of their markings, size or body shape match up with otherwise described species. And it’s also too far south for a Citron, so the current explanation for their unique appearance is a hybrid.

I would love to have the chance to actually study them up close, perhaps even testing to see if they are truly a hybrid and where they go when they’re not hanging out in my backyard but alas I’m not a bird scientist (yet) just a big bird enthusiast. I’ve even painted this unique visitor to my backyard

It is the last day of February 1893. A not-so-out-of-the-ordinary fox confidently trots past the Ravenclaw students and right into Wren's dorm room while Wren isn't around. He surveys the place to make sure no humans (or bunnies for that matter) are in and closes the door with his hind leg. Locating Wren's bed, he jumps on it to place a small book-shaped parcel right in the middle.

He plans to make a quick escape but something doesn't seem right with the bedcovers. Fox tilts his head left. Then right. Squeels a little and jumps up as high as he can to pounce the little spot that was giving him the tingles. Nothing happens, of course, just his instincts playing tricks on him, but the Ravenclaw scarf by the headboard rustles a little until a sleepy niffler pokes her head out to stare at the fox with dazed eyes.

Caught in the act, the fox slowly scoots closer to the niffler. He gives Charlie's snout a quick apologetic poke with his nose and carefully pinches a side of the scarf with his teeth to slide it back onto the niffler's head. Right. Next time he'll also be checking for nifflers in the room.

If Wren pulls on the ends of the blue satin ribbon later, she'll uncover a copy of "Dragons of the Highlands: notes and observations" with a small "Happy Birthday!" note tucked in between the pages, signed by an old friend.

Wren finds herself waking to a rare gentle sun in the Winter's chill, peeking through the pale morning fog. She sits up just enough to see the the gleaming snow dusting the glass window by her bed has begun to disperse; it'd be Spring tomorrow.

"What an odd dream..." She murmurs, shaking away any lingering images of orange fur and prancing paws while her hand searches before finding Charlie's fuzzy head, petting it till the niffler acknowledges her with a sleepy chirp, burrowing deeper into a bundled scarf. It is when her bare feet touch the cold wooden floorboards, finally she notices something amiss.

A small package, with its corner digging into her thigh. Curious, she surveys the room - if there had been visits from any of their feathered friends of the owlery, surely she would've heard?

The small Ravenclaw opens the small parcel, fingers still clumsy in her drowsy haze as she starts digging at the wrapping paper. She gasps, bleary vision in her eyes suddenly clearing.

"A book!" She chimes, ignoring the disgruntled noises of her dorm mates. "And it's not just any book!"

She holds the textured gift with her arms raised, bathing it in the soft first light and watching its regal lettering catch the glow of morningtide. A small piece of parchment fall from between the pages, and Wren reads it with a smile.

"Ah, William. I always knew you missed Wilson."

She continues admiring her new gift, uncaring her little Charlie at the corner of her bed is pawing and playing with a patch of fox fur.

I was reading through some of your tags for the post and some of them caught my eye, specifically when you were talking Abt the ref and Felix thing. Why do you get angry Abt it????/gen I'm not trying to be rude, I'm generally all around New to the fandom and I wanna know why-

Okay so!! Honestly this is a fair question to ask, because anyone particularly new to the fandom or even the game in general isn’t going to know the whole context about this situation.

Short(ish) summary (also spoilers of course!): In the postgame, Red still appears at cypher spots, even though going by the story Red and Felix are the same person, and the red cyberhead was destroyed by the end of the game. Taking it at face value, some people interpret it as Red somehow coming back as a separate person from Felix. Which is a cool AU idea imo!

Unfortunately, a decent amount of people have a heavy preference towards Red over Felix, usually either because they’re too used to Red from playing as him for most of the game, or even because they see Felix as ugly/unattractive in comparison.

So then those people tend to use that AU as a way to replace Felix, basically (in my mind at least) throwing out Felix’s character development from the game in favor of Red. When from the canon story’s perspective, they’re the same damn person anyways. And like, I just find that really rude towards him, and I say this as a person who enjoys that AU too, though evidently in a different way from what other people are doing. D:

Longer rant with more details/complaints under the cut:

There are a few different variants of this AU, just to list a few scenarios:

Red is actually a somehow revived Faux, basically using the red cyberhead to hide his identity. Why he does this can vary: him wanting to actual repent for what happened and trying to start doing so by hiding his real identity, or even just hiding himself as he plots to get revenge on Felix and the rest of BRC.

Red is a copy (either complete or partial) of Felix’s mind during the time he spent stuck in the red cyberhead. Basically that converting the red cyberhead to preserve Felix’s head didn’t remove all of the systems/internals related to a normal cyberhead’s functions. The idea being maybe the Flesh Prince had to do a rush job due to needing to keep Felix’s head preserved as quickly as possible to prevent too much rotting/memory loss. Thus some systems are still there, reading Felix’s mind and later result in Red once the red cyberhead is put back together. I will admit I did talk about this scenario in a previous post of mine!

A fun one from a friend of mine: Red still existing turns out to be because a player of the actual BRC game managed to get isekai’d into the world, with them somehow getting put into a newly revived Red as his new "AI" mind. Then having to navigate the world and maybe even befriend BRC, trying to also convince them that he’s not suspicious (especially given his knowledge of the events of the game). Also dealing with how actually moving around and doing things as a writer firsthand is WAY different from just doing it in a video game, lol

Another one from a different friend: Red is “revived” by the Flesh Prince as a new lacky. Though it’s not “Red” from the game, he just found Faux’s old body and then put a completely new cyberhead on it with a basic AI, declaring it his new minion. Shenanigans ensue, probably. :P

But the one that a decent amount of people seem to prefer: Red being the one to experience most if not all of the game, connecting with the rest of BRC and becoming friends. Felix recovering his memories is still a thing here, and him basically taking the reigns once the endgame starts to defeat Faux for good. But then after that it’s revealed Felix still doesn’t have much of a friendship with the others, because it turned out that was all Red, as a separate mind/AI/etc. from Felix. So then in this version of the AU, Red is part of BRC because of the connections he made, while Felix leaves and goes back to being a solo writer because his only connection to BRC was them helping him recover his memories. It’s using Red as a complete replacement for Felix, even though canonically they’re the same person anyways.

And like… ultimately people will do whatever they want with AUs and stuff like this, I can’t force people to stop what they’re doing or agree with the criticisms I have here. And I will admit, I used to like the last point in a “WHOA that’d be a pretty cool twist!!” way, but then later thinking on it more, and realizing… no, actually, this feels like a shitty thing to do to the narrative, especially to poor Felix.

His whole thing is like!! He was friends but also rivals with DJ Cyber and Faux, until eventually going solo for All City, and even admitting he prefers to work alone. We don’t get details on why he feels that way, but we can imagine a ton of ideas for it: he has more of an ego than he lets on? He didn’t want DJ Cyber or Faux to get hurt during the path to All City, so he decides to just go for it by himself? He still genuinely thinks of them as his friends, but overall he’s generally a more aloof loner kind of person and that’s why he went solo? There’s a bunch of options!

Regardless of his reasons, he went solo for All City. He had a one night graffiti session with Faux afterwards, maybe to just check on him and catch up. But otherwise to me it implies there weren’t going to be too many more sessions like these in the future, be it with Faux or anyone else.

And then, Faux kills him. Faux’s own motivations for that are also another fascinating potential for cool fics/AUs/etc. But that’s maybe for another post. :P

Anyways! Felix is dead, but manages to get preserved and eventually revived as Red. Early on in the game, I believe right at the beginning of Chapter 2, Red decides to go up against DJ Cyber in order to find out about his own forgotten roots. And he actually starts to go off by himself, until Tryce stops him! Then Tryce tells him they’re doing this together as a crew, and the way I see it, Red is probably going, “Wait, you… want to still help me? Even if it means fighting against a guy like DJ Cyber? Really??”

Because! Again, my own interpretation, Red doesn’t have all his memories back, but I think Felix’s personality is still there, just subconsciously, y’know? “I gotta do this on my own, can’t rely on anyone else, don’t want others to get hurt because of me” etc. So this is imo one of the first big steps in Felix’s character development that I feel is going on throughout the game: learning that it’s okay to have your friends help you, and to help them out in return, sticking together until the very end and even beyond that!

I mean, just saying, Tryce and Bel join in with Vinyl and DJ Cyber to keep Mech!Faux open for a final attack during his boss fight. That’s some serious friendship right there, willing to put yourself on the line for a friend!!

So then, to basically say, “No, most/all of that was actually just Red, and Red and Felix are separate people so Felix doesn’t need to stick around with BRC anymore” is like…

Okay, pardon my language here, but it’s effectively throwing out Felix’s whole character arc, and frankly it’s fucking insulting towards him!! Guy has the power of badass friendship and hella illegal graffiti on his side, and some people wanna rip that away from him?! Come the fuck on!!

And to emphasize, I used to like this idea as like, an amazing didn’t-see-it-coming twist. But then thinking on it more, it just really isn’t fair to Felix! At all! Especially since I really do think he has an interesting character arc, going from insisting on doing things solo, to gaining new friends and going All City a second time with, in his words, “a whole crew of the best homies around”.

Literally, he says that at the hideout in the postgame! I’m kinda paraphrasing based on memories, but that’s actually what he says more or less.

Also, a lot of people in the fandom seem to really enjoy this AU specifically as a way to replace Felix with Red in their minds/headcanons/stories. Some of them just ended up very attached to Red because of playing as him for most of the game anyways. Which, y’know, that’s reasonable at least! But then for others, they latch onto this AU because of having a genuine dislike (and in some cases, outright hatred) towards Felix.

From my observations and experiences, if it’s not because they got too attached to Red, it’s mostly rooted in people not finding Felix “attractive”. That’s it, possibly the most selfish fucking reason a person could have for wanting to forcefully throw out a character’s development, like what the hell man.

imo it also reeks of a problem that some other fandoms tend to have: dissing more masculine men in the cast, in favor of the more feminine/twink men. Some people may debate on whether Red/Faux would count as a twink, especially with how the term has been watered down recently (fun fact, it was meant to be mainly used in an LGBT+ context, so specifically for LGBT+ men who fit the appearance!!). But, I hope people reading this get the idea of what I’m trying to point out here. :/

Another thing about how people are trying to use Red to replace Felix: they treat this AU like it’s canon, or that they think it should be canon. Even though it’s not, that’s the point of calling it an AU!! Like I mentioned way earlier, I’m not going to stop anyone from going into this sort of AU, even if I personally have criticism for it if it’s handled in a certain way. But what I’m not going to let slide is people trying to force an AU to be considered canon and the way it should be.

The point of an AU is to have fun with possibilities, not try to reject and replace the original canon completely!! D:

Anyways, this is uh. Pretty long as is. So I want to wrap up with at least what I personally like about the potential for a “Red comes back as a separate person” AU. Which is evidently very different from what most people enjoy about that kind of AU.

I mentioned this in my old post I linked to earlier in this post, but basically: Red is not used as a replacement for Felix, but he exists alongside him and the rest of BRC. They could even become like brothers to one another. Red being the “younger” brother who is (quite literally) new to life and wants to go out there and explore and experience all the good stuff, even in a chaotic way. And then Felix being the “older” brother, still being chill like he was before, yet also more responsible and cautious because of what he went through, thus wanting to make sure Red is safe and sort of be his mentor through these things. Felix maybe even feels like he's the main reason Red is here at all, so then he feels responsible with guiding Red and making sure he turns out alright, y'know?

… At least, that’s more or less what I would want to aim for. Them coexisting and even getting more character development for the both of them! I would take more about the specifics of how this would all work. But I do have fan fics and other stuff I want to do someday to share those ideas more. Thus I will stop here for today, hopefully I will be able to get around to those fan fics and stuff in the future! Maybe.

So yeah, that about wraps up my thoughts on this topic? I probably came off as too hostile at some points, sorry about that. It’s just, I think this particular version of the AU is especially frustrating when it’s coming from people who are clearly only using it to replace the “ugly” Felix with the more “attractive” Red. Sometimes it’s subtle, other times it’s more obvious, but either way it’s just damn annoying for me at this point. :(

What’s Ghost like around the holidays?

He’s an absolute grump, which makes him withdraw so that he doesn’t inadvertently take it out on you. He’d prefer if you both just treated it like any other day, but you have traditions and expectations, and he goes through the motions for you. It will take a lot to convince him that instead of dwelling on old memories, he should make new ones with you instead. Easy way to draw him out of his shell is to give him work to do: find a tree, chop it down, untangle the lights, do this or that. Slowly you’ll catch him doing more than the bare minimum. Maybe the holidays are just full of grief for him, but that doesn’t mean they need to be the same for you too.

Yeeaaahhhhhh

Why ya askin'?

[allthegoodusernamesaretakenohno]

Wilbur has said that if he were to fully explain the situation, it would involve doxxing both himself and Shelby. So why is it okay when Dream makes his statements, but not when Wilbur does?

The constant hate directed at Wilbur needs to stop. This situation was never something the public should have been involved in to begin with, and everyone needs to recognize that.

People are demanding answers as if they’re entitled to them. Wilbur did his best to explain, but when the answer didn’t satisfy some, they just jumped back on the hate train. That’s not just immature; it’s a refusal to move on.

Let’s talk about Shelby for a second. It’s been over a year, and she still hasn’t provided any concrete proof, only statements that are essentially a “trust me, bro” defense, backed up by people she wasn’t even close with. Yet somehow it’s okay for her to make those claims without evidence just because she’s considered a “victim” and a woman?

People need to take a step back and see the bigger picture. Wilbur did everything he could to keep both himself and Shelby safe, and just because you don’t like the way it turned out doesn’t give anyone the right to keep attacking him.

This situation should never have been public in the first place, and deep down, everyone knows that. You can lie to yourself all you want, but it’s the truth.

It's time to move on.

I agree with you. I really couldn’t have worded it better than you did.

In my case, I’m WSS because I believe serious claims need proof. If serious claims were just believed without proof, anyone could just make claims towards anyone and ruin someone’s life - thus why proof is important. And if Wilbur believes proving his innocence would involve doxxing him and Shubble, then I respect that. Privacy is incredibly important.

and yeah, the situation should’ve never have been made public. It’s the kind of thing you need to keep private. And you’re right, people need to move on.
