"Strange Manicure"

(^She's so cocky here, I love her)

"Hey, Sektor?” Smoke calls out to her from across the table, snapping her from the thoughts. New blueprints for her flamethrower’s harness and what material would be best suited for it served as her mind's distraction as they waited for Bi-Han's arrival.

“Yes, Smoke?” She replied, lifting her head up from its resting place on her crossed hands. She had cleaned her hands free of her workshop's dirt and oil before coming to this assembly, and her nails were just as spotless. That was not what Smoke wanted to point out, however. It was something else on the Master Armorer that confused him.

“Why are the nails on your middle and ring fingers shorter than the others?” 

The young man asked his question, truly clueless on the matter. Her work was very hands-on, of course, but her nails were deliberately cut short on both hands compared to the rest on her other fingers.

Sektor sighed and glared, breathing low through her nose. Next to Smoke, Scorpion coughed loudly behind his mask, trying to cover up the laughter that tried to spill out.

“Mind your business, Tomáš.” Sektor scoffed, turning away from the smoke user. Scorpion is now chuckling silently, his face in his hands. Smoke blinks rapidly between the two of them, not sure what he did wrong.

“I did not mean to offend, I was only curious since it seemed like you did it on purpose.” He explained, making his situation even worse. Sektor glared daggers at him that would have killed him dead if she had it her way, and his brother laughed loudly, tears building up in his face.

“You have not felt the touch of a woman yet, have you?” Sektor mocked, still refusing to give him the reason for her strange manicure. Tomáš gasped, confused about what he did to deserve that when Kuai Liang spoke up from his laughing fit.

“If you are truly curious brother, go ask Sektor's assistant. I'm sure she wouldn't mind helping you!” Kuai teased, earning Sektor’s ire.

“Do not even think about it Tomáš!” She snarled, standing up from her seat. What goes on between her and her signif-her assistant is no one's business but there's.

Smoke stuttered, not sure why you of all people would know the answer to his question, but then Bi-Han walked through the room, icy vapor trailing behind him. The Grandmaster's presence forces them and everyone else in the room to look at him.

“Is there an issue?” The cryomancer spoke gruffly, seeing the scene playing out between his brothers and Master Armorer.

“Nothing, Bi-Han. May we begin now?” Sektor spoke first before Scorpion and Smoke, the two younger brothers quickly changing into pictures of obedient subordinates with the eldest of them now appearing.

Bi-Han looks between the three of them, still suspicious that he interrupted something judging from how Smoke keeps looking at Sektor, like she offended him. He will find out more later, from Sektor herself or from one of his brothers, and the meeting begins with little fuss.

Later on, while Sektor is off distracted somewhere, Tomáš makes his way down to her laboratory. He dodges cables, heavy boxes of building materials, and random chemicals in bottles stamped with symbols he doesn't understand. The person he seeks is currently leaning over one of the many tables around the room, a pair of heavy goggles protecting their face as they piece together more toxic yellow glue bombs for Cyrax. They hear his footsteps on the metal floor and look up from their work, lifting the industrial goggles hiding their eyes from view.

“Tomáš! What can I do for you?” You ask cheerfully, twisting yourself in your chair to face him. The Czech greets you back, making his way around your lover's magnificent lab to your side.

“I hope I am not interrupting you too much, I have a question to ask you that Sektor refused to answer.” Tomáš reveals, making you hum. Sektor could occasionally be a bit brash, a side effect of a large ego combined with a strong mind. It annoyed you in the beginning, but now you know better than to let her attitude get under your skin, and better yet, how to get under hers.

“You're good! What is it?” 

“Why are Sektor’s nails on her ring and middle fingers shorter than her other ones?” He asked, still just as clueless. He watched as your eyes widened and mouth dropped, a tiny squeak coming out from your throat. Your face heated up from embarrassment, and you quickly looked away from the warrior as you sat up.

“What!? W-why would I know?!” You yelled, your fingers coming up to try and cool your heated face. “Why are you asking me?”

“Scorpion said that you would know!” Tomáš defended himself, now on the receiving end of two different women's anger. You were not as skilled as him or Sektor in kombat, but you were more than able to hold your own. As if Sektor would ever leave you alone without some way to defend yourself. 

“Well I don't, so there's your answer!” You snapped, bringing your conversation with the typhomancer to a close. You stomped away from him, flinging your goggles and gloves to the side and going after wherever your lover was in the temple. To kiss or slap her, you don't know yet, you'll figure it out on the way.

Tomáš meant to chase after you, asking for forgiveness for whatever he did, but then the invisible light bulb over his head went off. He still didn't understand the thing with Sektor’s nails, but he did understand why his brother sent him after you. 

You, a lowly engineer and Lin Kuei initiate, and Sektor, the clan’s Master Armor and its best mind…what an interesting couple.

What do you think Basil and Hero's relationship is like? I don't see content of them much.

Some Dreamscape Spoilers

(Don't read this unless you're caught up to the current chapter, Chapter 16)

A lot can be said about those two. I haven't gotten to write them together just yet, but that's because their conflict involves a lot of stuff circling around both Mari, and Sunny. When Mari passed, they took refuge in each other's company for a while as they tried to care for an incredibly broken and grieving Sunny. Something had to have been the lead up to her Suicide, yet the two people closest to her were either emotionally unavailable, or in complete denial. Hero wasn't willing to share those answers, claiming it had something to do with things completely out of his control. While Basil wanted to believe that for a while, it eventually lead him into digging deeper, realizing things he probably didn't even want to know about the Nanako (Sunny and Mari) siblings.

The moment he told Hero what he found, that's when he snapped. All of a sudden, he was madder than Basil had ever seen him before, and it was all directed towards Sunny. He didn't think it was fair at all to be treating him that way, but he didn't know any better. There were still pieces of the story he hadn't uncovered, and he still hasn't.

Ever since that tournament fight happened, and things between Candace and Hero transpired, him and Basil haven't been talking.

That won't be permanent though, they're going to need each other soon enough. And when that comes, Revelations are going to be made. Heads may roll, a fight might break out, but regardless of everything that transpires, they will always have something in common.

Neither can move on, and neither want to stop chasing the dream that has already been long gone.

Same anon that mentioned my favourites of your fics;

I'm glad me caring about them means a lot to you, and I'll extend my own thank you to you for writing them!

I would love to know how you were intending the rest of BSAWW to go (but don't feel obligated to explain if you don't want to) :]

*takes long drag from cigarette* gather round the campfire, kids. So, I felt like it was getting kinda bloated plot wise so I was preparing to slim down on things (and then I slimmed so much, it stopped existing lol), but, iirc, Paul was going to go talk to Emma and, I never got around to explaining this, but at the end, it was actual real Paul there. Like that was really him.

Basically, Pokey let go of Paul for a bit and shoved the real Paul back in for a bit as a trick. He wanted Paul to trick Emma and co into letting their guard down and taking Paul to Webby's castle where he was going to go back to infected Paul and do some evil shit (I don't remember the whole original plan tbh)

In the rush of everything, Webby and Holloway met up and hurried to create the spell that would send Webby and her brothers back to hell (They didn't have enough time to make sure Webby could stay, it was going to be this whole bittersweet thing)

Paul would die fr because there was no Pokey to keep him alive and he'd die in Emma's arms and it'd be all sad. Wilbur, freed from the lords, goes back to the Wilbur he was before he met the lords and became a good guy. I think maybe he was going to lose all his magic, though I can't remember, I never wrote down the plan because I thought I'd be able to write the story faster. Oh, also, John was Wilbur's grandson the whole time. I never figured out how to slide that into the story naturally :/

That's basically the gist of what I wanted to do, there would've been a lot of plot lines that got dropped or didn't have satisfying endings but that's on me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll try to remember

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely

like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

if there's anything i've learned from the current state of social media it's that this is one of the worst possible notifications you can receive upon opening an app
