Characters that are just so Dad despite not (technically) having kids:

Aragorn lotr

Adam Maitland beetlejuice musical

Eddie Munson/Steve Harrington st

Emmett legally blonde but specifically when Christian Borle played him in the musical

Martin dghda

[clowniconography]

im slowly realizing that the relationships in the dghda show like....fundamentally changed the way i view relationships in all other media, and the way i write relationships in my own stories. mostly im talking about todd dirk and farah, but the rowdy 3 + ken and bart (in s1 at least, we do not speak of ken's s2 arc) definitely factor in as well. there was some hinting at a possible romance between todd and farah in the future and obviously brotzly owned my ass for years but within the story as it exists they're just three incredibly lost people who come to rely on each other and love each other more than anyone else, in a way that i dont really see depicted in a lot of other media. i guess what i mean is that a lot of stories make it seem like relationships can only come in certain forms, but dghda showed a wide array of relationship types that didnt fit into any mold at all. from farah and lydia to tina and sherlock to whatever the fuck the rowdy 3 have going on, dghda really taught me that love can come in way more shapes and sizes than people think, and from places u might never expect. maybe its because im ace so i tend to look at relationships differently than other people, but theres just something about the way that show depicted it's friendships that i find really swell, and that also heightened my expectations for friendships in media in a way that hasn't really been properly met since.

this is so sweet it might as well be candy corn. happy Halloween everybody!

Spells, Bells, and a Lot of Barking

Prompt 6 – Witches (special thank u to my writing partner @setmeatopthepyre ily 💖)

Amanda’s quiet afternoon at the agency is interrupted by the hasty return of the Rowdy 3, only one of them is now… a puppy? 

Rated G! General Rowdy shenanigans, a side of soft, soft drummerwolf, a wee bit of angst, and lots of hugs! 6,232 words

[thatfaerieprincess]

Can we all just take a moment to note that in a lot of the group shots of the Rowdy 3, Martin has an arm around Amanda or they’re touching in some way???

[setmeatopthepyre]

“I know you’re serious about this,” Martin said slowly, “But this is going to kill us. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this year, but we won’t be growin’ old. We’re going to die in a jaeger.”

“If – when – we die in a jaeger, at least we won’t be alone.” Amanda smiled.

[clockworkcheetah]

Loved your character ask for Farah! Would you mind doing one for Amanda next?

OTP for them: honestly dont rly have any die hard ships for her (aro!amanda yknow could work) BROTP for them: rowdy 3 obviously Other ships: i have a soft spot for famanda (is that the ship name?) and drummerwolf is fine like dont ship it but dont hate it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What kind of fic I’d write about them: i have the project!amanda fic in the works (someone bully me into finishing it) A favorite canon moment: the train scene was p iconic Color that reminds me of them: dark purple and electric green Song that reminds me of them: start a riot - beginners orrr second child, restless child - the oh hellos A headcanon about them: goddamn my brain just went empty. uhh she was crazy social back as a teen like parties, but also took up a ton of hobbies (try everything once mentality) she hadnt thought about the future down to a t but she had motivations and goals. pararibulitis robbed her of that A random AU I think up on the spot for them: the... project au its all i got rn still canonverse but like amanda being taken by blackwing as a kid does drastically change things (specifically her and todd obvs) Anything else: shes read homestuck

send me a character

[protecticarus]

If you’re up for prompts, maybe something where Martin comforts both Amanda and Vogel after he finds out about Vogel’s broken fingers? You just /know/ they’d both feel awful over that—Vogel because he didn’t keep his brother’s girlfriend away from Priest, and vice-versa for Amanda—and Martin would listen to two of the people he cares about most talking like that and just—“come ‘ere, both of ya.” Drummerwolf has been a thing since season one, so there’s a bit of romance sprinkled in there.

i’ve written shamefully little about the rowdies as more than supporting characters in my other fics so i’m a little shaky on my feet when it comes to more extensive character inspection with them - compared to team jacket and amanda anyway - so if this is more ooc than usual i’m really very sorry. i tried! hopefully i’ll get a little more confident as i write more! (which is why i chose this prompt today as opposed to the ones that felt a lot more natural for me - challenge!)

also i’m not sure how well i did with the “sprinkle of romance” in this particular setting. it’s a pretty light sprinkle, but it’s there.

this is a pretty short one but i hope it does the job!

~

Amanda smiled fondly as she watched three of the rowdies excitedly jumping around with the Wendimoorians, occasionally stopping for group hugs and enthusiastic pats and punches on each others’ shoulders.

“Good to have the whole gang back together, huh?” Said Martin as he nudged Amanda’s shoulder.

Amanda turned to flash him a smile. “Sure is.” She replied and leaned her head on Martin’s shoulder.

They both watched the happy display in front of them until something caught Martin’s eye.

“What happened to the kid’s hand?” He asked, having noticed Vogel subconsciously protecting one of his hands from all the shoving and hugging.

Amanda’s smile turned into a frown. “That guy. Vogel called him Priest or something?” She said and lifted her head to look Martin in the eye.

Martin’s expression hardened visibly, the recognition of the name clear in his eyes.

Amanda nodded slowly. “Yeah. I figured you’d know who that is.”

“I’ve had the displeasure of meeting it, yeah.” Martin practically growled.

“I got the sense he’s a dick. And that was before he, you know... Tried to kill us and shit.” Amanda commented.

“Sounds like Priest.” Martin remarked. “He messed up Vogel’s hand?” He asked.

Amanda averted her eyes. “Yeah.” She replied.

Martin narrowed his eyes. “What’ya not saying, drummer?” He asked.

Amanda swallowed and took a deep breath. “It’s my fault.” She finally said.

Martin turned so that he was now facing Amanda fully. “How’d you figure that?”

Amanda blew out a breath. “I’m the one that said we needed to go to Bergsberg. I’m the one that had a feeling that something was wrong. I knew in my gut that the van was a trap, but I still couldn’t stop him from running out there. For two months, all Vogel did was follow me wherever I said we needed to go. He did everything I asked of him and helped me in any way I needed. And I led him straight into a trap.” Amanda explained in a quiet voice.

Martin was just about to speak when they heard a third voice chime in.

“That’s dumb, dog.” Vogel said, having appeared next to the duo during Amanda’s speech.

“No, it’s not, Vogel.” Amanda sighed. “It’s true. And I feel like shit about it.”

“Well don’t!” Vogel screamed. “It was me, I’m the dumb one!”

Amanda furrowed her brows. “What do you mean, Vogel?”

“Man, come on! We survived two months of running from that place and the piggies who were after us! But then I was still dumb enough to not see a trap! That’s dumb shit 101!” Vogel explained loudly.

Amanda shook her head. “Vogel, that’s not dumb. You were just happy at the possibility of seeing the guys again. Anyone would do that.” She reassured him.

“You didn’t!” Vogel screamed. “You knew! Cause you’re smart, boss! Not like me!”

“Yeah, Vogel, I knew. And I still let you run off. If anything that makes me more dumb.” Amanda explained.

“Not much can stop me when I get going, you know that, boss.” Vogel said. “But I dragged you out there too. You were in danger because of me. And not the induce-visions, jump-under-a-train danger. Real one. Priest danger. That’s a bad danger. Really bad. And I know that. Martin knows too. I’m sorry, man, I dragged her right to Priest.” Vogel said, the last sentence clearly directed at Martin.

Before Martin could chime in, Amanda rushed to reply. “No, Vogel, that’s not your fault! That’s his fault. And even if you’re headed to hell itself I’m gonna follow right behind to keep an eye on you. That’s not up to you, it’s just something that’s gonna happen.” She explained.

Vogel smiled a little. “I’m still sorry, boss.”

“No, I’m sorry. It was all my doing.” Amanda replied.

Vogel groaned. “No it wasn’t! Why-“

Then Martin cleared his throat. “If I may?”

Amanda and Vogel quieted down and turned their attention towards Martin.

“Ya both are being dumb.” Martin said.

“Gee, thanks for the input.” Amanda huffed.

“Listen to me, drummer.” Martin said. “You two were doin’ everything you could to stay safe and get back to the rest of us. And ya did. Mission accomplished.” He reasoned.

“Yeah, but-“ Amanda began.

“No buts.” Martin interrupted.

Vogel laughed. “Butts.”

Martin smiled at him. Then he continued. “Drummer, you did not put the kid in danger. That’s all on Priest. Everythin’ is on Priest. All you were doing was trying to find a way for you two to get back to us. And kid, you know what Priest is capable of. If he found you and wanted to hurt you, there ain’t no stopping him. You didn’t put ‘Manda in any more danger than ya both already were in. You leaving the room didn’t change nothing. He would’ve come through the damn wall.”

Vogel nodded sadly. “He’s scary as shit, man.”

“I know, kid. But hey, you took him on and came out on the other side. Not a lot of folk can say that.” Martin said.

Vogel brightened. “Yeah... Yeah! Priest ain’t got nothing on me!” He screamed. The other rowdies and their Wendimoorian friends cheered.

Amanda laughed. “Hell yeah, dude!”

Martin smiled too. “Can we agree that you two ain’t to blame and Priest is vermin?”

Amanda and Vogel shared a look.

“Okay.” Said Vogel.

“Okay.” Agreed Amanda.

“Good.” Martin said and then opened his arms. “Now c’mere, both of ya.”

Vogel and Amanda both happily scooched closer to Martin and wrapped their arms around him.

Martin briefly placed his head atop Vogel’s before moving away again. “You smell, kid.”

“You smell!” Vogel shot back.

Amanda laughed. “We came in through a lake. I’m pretty confident he hasn’t changed or washed since then.”

Martin hummed, seemingly unsurprised by this information.

Amanda looked up at Martin and smiled. Martin bent down to place a soft kiss on the crown of her head, which only made Amanda smile wider.

“Gross.” Vogel remarked.

“Fuck off.” Amanda replied.

“Good to have the whole gang back together, huh?” Martin laughed.

[banditthewriter]

I /will/ encourage him, the guys give me so many Martin vibes and I find it awesome. (Also please talk me out of my—how many times have I rewatched DGHDA now?—thousandth rewatch after I finish these last couple seasons of The Librarians. I have OTHER SHOWS IN MY LISTS, DAMN IT but the /Rowdies./ and /Drummerwolf./ *whines* I keep getting pulled back after every other show I finish. Those guys have definitely become comfort characters for me.)

I want to dissuade you from that belief but then I remember that The Twin left the apartment to go help a friend break into her ex’s apartment and steal back her dog. He’s there for protection if needed. Siiiiiigh haha.

And I won’t talk you out of rewatching a show. Lord knows that’s all I’ve been doing lately.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. Learn to know your mutuals and followers ✨

Aww, thanks for tagging me! Okay, this is mostly gonna be fandom shit and I’m not even sorry. In no particular order:

1) The friendships I’ve managed to make on here. They absolutely mean the world to me

2) Drummerwolf

3) The fact that a friend is working on a DGHDA season 3 fic

4) My utterly spoiled, very needy lap-dog

5) Fuck it, I’m also listing the Rowdies in general (can you guys tell I’m on a Dirk Gently kick?)

New Drummerwolf prompt:

Amanda gets a job at Blackwing, she helps out with whatever needs to be done, including bringing the inhabitants their food. Riggins notices how calm Project Incubus seem to get when she’s around, they never try and harm her like they do nearly everyone else, so he makes her worth with them even more. Slowly they open up to her and she gets to know them enough to realise they don’t deserve to be locked up. She hatches a plan to help them escape, not only to give them the freedom they deserve but also get some alone time with the tall, mohawked leader who leaves Amanda a little hot under the collar every time he looks her way.

Clothing Thieves (Drummerwolf)

Martin looked up, his throat going dry. “Manda... that my shirt?”

Amanda grinned innocently, feigning surprise. “Is it??” She stood at the end of their blanket pile, his button up shirt the only thing pulled over her skinny frame. He couldn’t keep his eyes from roaming, taking in the whole sight before him. She was beautiful. He’d never thought about how much he’d love seeing her in his clothes, but here she was and it was better than he could’ve imagined. She looked down at the shirt and shrugged, trying not to smirk as she fingered the edges of it. “I just put on the first shirt I found.”

The smirk slowly grew across her face and Martin raised an eyebrow as she tried, without success, to keep up the innocent facade.

“Y’look good in my shirt. Better than I ever have, that’s for sure...”

That was the day Amanda realized just how weak Martin was for people wearing his clothes, and she most definitely filed that away for future use. Loving every excuse she could get to make him weak at the knees when he wasn’t expecting it, there was no way she wasn’t gonna use that to her advantage later.

“Anyone seen Drummer this morning? She wasn’t there when I got up...” Martin asked as he strolled up to the campfire where the other Rowdies were already gathered, drinking warm cocoa that Gripps had made.

“Yeah, she’s helpin’ Rainbow with something. They should both be back soon though.” Cross nodded absently, still sleepy with his face buried in a mug.

Martin nodded and plopped down on a seat, accepting his own cup of the warm liquid from Gripps and muttering a quick “thank you”.

It was another few minutes before the girls returned to the circle. Martin looked up when he heard leaves crunching and feet approaching, freezing when he saw Amanda. She was wearing a pair of his sweatpants synched in tightly to fit her tiny waist, with his thicker jacket pulled on over one of his t-shirts. He had no idea how to handle it. He knew he shouldn’t be as effected by this as he was, but he was. She noticed his gaze and smirked.

“Thought you wouldn’t mind if I snagged these for a bit, it’s just so cold this morning and I couldn’t find where I left mine!”

Martin gaped for a moment, knowing full well that her sweats, her shirt, and her jacket, were on the floor of the van where she had left them last night. He gathered himself, nodding and clearing his throat a little. “Y-yeah. Yeah, s’fine Drummer. No worries.” She knew exactly what she was doing to him, and damn if it wasn’t working.

Gripps raised his eyebrows at the interaction, Vogel made a retching noise, and Cross just outright laughed.

“Whew! You could cut the sexual tension out here with a knife!”

Martin rolled his eyes, but that only made the rowdy laugh harder. Amanda grinned and made her way over, accepting a mug from Gripps before sitting down beside Martin. She tucked herself in against his side and began sipping at her cocoa. “Y’know, It’s much warmer with you here beside me,” she commented innocently, swinging her feet up across his lap.

Martin just stared down at her, still gaping at his tiny Drummer wrapped up in his giant clothes. She knew exactly what she was doing, he was positive. Two could play at that game.

The next morning, when Amanda wandered up to the circle, she found Martin tending to the fire in a plain black t-shirt and a pair of her sweatpants. The pink pair that said “juicy” across the ass. She always wore her sweats a size or two too big, but they were still a little small on the rowdy, the fabric stretched deliciously across the contours of his ass. He was wearing them low on his hips, and when he stretched, the shirt rode up quite a few inches and left everything else on display. She stopped in her tracks and just stared, her greeting to the group trailing off mid-sentence as she watched him with rapt attention. She wanted to run her hands everywhere.

“Mandy, you’re drooling,” Cross remarked with a snicker.

“Shut up. Am not...” she replied, eyes still glued on Martin, who straightened up and turned around, throwing a wink at her. God damn him... she could feel her face heat up, still unable to look away. He strolled over, a casual smirk dancing across his face as he came closer and closer, until they were nearly chest to chest.

“Better pick your jaw up off the ground, Drummer, you’ll catch flies,” he purred, blowing gentle breath against the shell of her ear before suddenly dancing away. She shuddered and took a deep breath, eyes opening to find him returning to the fire. Gripps made a face at her and raised his eyebrows mockingly. She stuck out her tongue at him and made a face right back. Taking another shaky breath and then following Martin to the fire, she sat down in a seat to drink the warm morning cocoa that had been held out to her. If Martin wore those pants all day.... damn, it was gonna be a long day...

AMANDA frcking BROTZMAN - A playlist for everyone’s favorite punk rock witchakookoo

OSMUND PRIEST - Weird, dangerous, creepy and oddly upbeat.

OH NO - It’s the Rowdy 3! A playlist that sounds like an energy vampire riot.

Rowdy 3 - ‘Cause you can’t just have one - a longer playlist that also contains songs that may be more of a lyrical match than a musical one.

brotzly - A list for a small grumpy man and the physical manifestation of sunshine.

(nothing is also connected) - A bunch of songs that made me think of the show/storylines in general.

drummerwolf - Ain’t got no place to be but here for you.

BLACKWING - Locked up in the dark and everything is wrong, wrong, wrong.

electroclash vampires - ‘Cause let’s be real, it’s the only music we actually hear the Rowdy 3 listen to.

SOUND OF NOTHING - A setlist for Southern Montana’s third-largest music festival.

that’s so punk - A mix inspired by @everythingremainsconnected‘s fic that’s so punk.
