#and that is a threat/lh/j

[butterflyscribbles]

What do the boys do when it's just them and their mama, maddie?

Sonic:

Spa day no doubt. One Sunday a month they both drop everything and spend the day on self care. She brushes his quills in all the hard to reach spots (lowkey takes him back to when Longclaw used to preen him and he melts) and he practices braiding her hair (Jojo has been teaching him).

They paint nails/claws respectively (Sonic would be lowkey embarrassed and say his claws are naturally that bright green under his gloves if anyone found out but shh their secret). Bundled up in fleece robes and surrounded in warm, sweet smelling soaps n such. Maddie is the only one he actively seeks out to just…..chill with. He will with Tom too but he has more fun out romping and getting into trouble with him. Maddie specializes in helping him slow down and relax because sometimes he forgets to. He’s getting better at yoga too thanks to her help.

Knuckles:

Oh baby he is her shadow…

Once he settles into their home (and finally understands he doesn’t need to protect it from everyday construction workers and door to door salesmen) he is insistent on helping pull his own weight around the house, literally in most cases. He’ll accompany her to the grocery store and help around her office at work. He likes horses a lot. What proud and majestic creatures they are!!

Loves watching her cook and is adamant about helping do so himself, with varying degrees of success. He’s even more into yoga than Sonic too. She also used to read to Sonic when he was first brought in. He kind of outgrew it and Tails tears through their collection on his own. Knuckles however…he cherishes the nights where she doesn’t work late and they can continue their book of the month together. His tribe would tell stories around a fire during colder months and it’s a comfort and ritual he didn’t realize he missed so much.

Tails

Where Knuckles is her shadow trailing behind her, Tails is attached at the hip. When they are alone together it’s infodump time, Maddie with biology/ecology and Tails engineering/aerodynamics. The nerding out overlaps when they talk astronomy. Maddie dabbles in it as a hobby and they study the stars together under her telescope.

Tails loves cleaning if you can believe it. Brings him a sense of peace and meditation which Maddie totally gets. They’ll often tackle a part of the house together, find some random junk in the garage or basement and then spend the next few hours talking about where it came from. Sometimes they take a night to do coloring books, just for funsies. She finds Tails is a quiet artist type on the side.

If she’s got all three for the day, she’ll take em to the skate park to blow off steam. Believe it or not she strikes me as someone who roller skated everywhere in college and still has some moves left, leaving her boys slack jawed in awe.

IM DAVING OUT

[everestgale]

Last night, I got hit with a really bad insomnia, and to help myself with it, I tried writing... and I wrote some Skeptunist, of course I did. I'm not really a writer, but I like the way I wrote parts of it. So sure, it can live here :]

This is a prelude to my "It was in your nature" comic from a couple days ago, written from Skeptic's POV, still a bit OOC, still part of this random betrayal AU. Also, "the card game night" refers to this fic that inspired the comic and, subsequently, this writing exercise.

Anyways, hope you enjoy!

_________________________________________

Skeptic made a huge mistake, and he knew it.

What was he thinking? Why did he corner Opportunist like that and try to force him to open up on the spot? Of course, it did not work. It was a stupid idea-

Skeptic sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He wanted to blame Smitten for erroneous advice, but deep down, he knew it was his fault. Smitten merely suggested that Opportunist might want to be closer to people, to open up to someone. He was the one who made that entire plan. He pushed Opportunist too far out of his comfort zone. He let the emotions get in the way. Skeptic wasn't used to this; normally, he was the rational, level-headed voice, the one who used logic to let everything fall into place.

But not then, not on that treacherous card game night. Not when he needed to exercise most caution, when he was investigating and dealing with someone so tricky and so…

…weirdly fragile?

Another sigh. Skeptic buried his face in his left hand, the claws lightly scratching his temples. He knew he needed to stop, none of these thoughts or feelings were helpful. All he could do now, Skeptic thought, was wait and observe.

And so the days went on; Opportunist barely acknowledged Skeptic's presence, acting just polite and cheery enough so that other voices wouldn't get suspicious, but nothing beyond that. Skeptic had no choice but to follow along: he knew any attempts to talk first would only cause the sly voice to retreat further. He expected this to be the case for a long while-

Until one day, Opportunist walked up to Skeptic as though nothing happened.

At first glance, it almost looked like everything came back to the way it was before the card game night. Opportunist, bright-smiled as always, gave Skeptic sugary compliments, did small favors for him, spoke with him sweetly and softly. It almost looked like it all worked out, like Opportunist chose to, in the end, trust him again…

…but Skeptic knew Opportunist and his habits too well to believe this carefully crafted lie.

The smiles were just a little too forced, little wrinkles giving away the facade. The compliments were just a little too sweet, too exaggerated for how Opportunist normally does it. The favors were done just a little too eagerly, as though Opportunist kept forcing himself to do them to keep appearances. The sugary sweet tone of Opportunist's voice had a slight bitter edge to it. The bright orange eyes lacked that little spark when their eyes met, something that Skeptic didn't notice until it was gone.

Skeptic never thought that knowing too much could hurt.

Logically, he knew exactly where this was all leading to. Skeptic was in this strange tango with Opportunist, after all, and everyone knew how Opportunist acted when threatened. It was only a matter of time, and Skeptic knew it.

And yet he willingly stepped into the trap.

Why did he have to fall for the backstabber?

FOUL BEAST, STAY BACK /J

Very much so kidding, but I will throw affection at your head for this one /pos

[14dayswithyou]

Give Ren a kiss for me! I wanted to ask this and didn’t see anything in the FAQ. I know it’s cannon that Ren gets jealous of ANY sort of affection shown to someone other than him, would he get jealous of Angel’s pets? Like, if Angel has a cat that they snuggle with every night when they sleep, would Ren get jealous of the kitty? (d̶o̶n̶t̶ b̶e̶ j̶e̶a̶l̶o̶u̶s̶ r̶e̶n̶r̶e̶n̶, I̶‘l̶l̶ p̶u̶t̶ a̶ c̶a̶t̶ c̶o̶l̶l̶a̶r̶ a̶n̶d̶ e̶a̶r̶s̶ o̶n̶ y̶o̶u̶, p̶o̶o̶k̶i̶e̶ /j /lh )

✦゜ANSWERED: Ren and his opinions on pets have been answered here and here already!

He would get jealous of any pets — though much like familial love — Ren is fully capable of differentiating between that and romantic/platonic love. So long as Angel puts Ren first and makes him their top priority, he won't be much of a threat to anyone — pets or otherwise!

I would also like to say that Ren won't ever physically harm animals. He's not that kind of yandere.

BACK THE TIN CAN BROS OR ILL TAKE YOUR SPINE

Not to be so emotional, but I'm so proud of this community

This tinlightenment kickstarter month has been so stressful for everyone, especially the bros. I keep the kickstarter page open all the time and I stalk it like a hawk, literally praying (heh) it goes up more

I've never been this involved in promoting a kickstarter or doing stuff to get the money up. We know Starkid stuff gets funded, it's Starkid, but TCB and Shipwrecked have harder time it seems like, and that makes me really sad

Brian thirsted himself out, Joey embarrassed himself with terms, and Corey has been giving out Starkid history to backers. We only have days left and little over 20k to make! I wanna say so much more, but I suck at writing out my thoughts

Just know I'm so fucking proud of us, of them, and all the strangers who just randomly decided to back. The road to Tinlightenment has been long and heavy, but we can do it!

Tinlightenment be with you 🙏

Get it funded so I can have the holy golden jacket

Do you know Hazbin Hotel? If so I can ask Leshy, Kallamar and Lambert x a reader who is like Emily? But if you don't want its okay!

-Emily is excitable, bubbly, sweet, friendly and kind to almost everyone around her. I think it would be nice to have an interaction (platonic or romantic, however you feel comfortable) with them.

Leshy Kallamar and Lambert x Emily!Reader

kicks the 2 hazbin hotel masterlists into the void no no ive never heard of that show in my life/lh/j ooough side note i love emily i hope we see more of her in season 2 notes: reader is gn, can be seen as romantic or platonic, post game because i looooove the idea of the bishops being paired with the ray of sunshine cultist as their "hey this person is going to show you the ropes for this place" companion cws: none

LAMBERT

you both bounce off of each other, both sweet- a lot of the time after youre both done with your work and youre away from prying eyes you simply... talk and catch up and check in on each other

you drop everything for them when they need you and they would do the same if the burden of being a crown bearer and leader wasnt weighing them down

will always bring something back for you from their crusades- fresh flowers from darkwood, or pretty gems from anchordeep! sometimes things they buy from shops!

youre a breath of fresh air after a cultist asks to eat feces or after needing to break up yet another bar fight

KALLAMAR

clings onto you because youre one of the few people who has the patience to wait for his nerves to settle... and he does lean into how attentive you are towards him- you always do small things for him to make him feel good and cared for... habitually expects it because.. you know, fallen god

hides behind you whenever another cultist gives him some flack and escalates further than insults and empty threats- youre usually left to diffuse the situation

hes not exactly mean but hes not the most considerate person, but you rub off on him with time, he does his best to make sure your needs are met

no thoughts only reader convincing him to try out some of the more intimidating tasks of cult lift with them- going out on missions for resources, for example

LESHY

as bad as it feels to say, in the beginning he does use your willingness to make things easier on him and to help him to his advantage- from small things like fetching him things to things that could... legitimately put you in danger.. it does stop- at least the danger part- as he grows more accustomed to mortal life

youre sickeningly sweet, he grows protective of you out of the belief that someone is going to use your kindness against you like how he once did

little asshole x sweetheart dynamic, you sometimes counter some of the things he says to others with something kind or "oh he doesnt really mean it when he says he wants your pillow to be warm on both sides!"

you always make sure to involve him in activities, many see you crouching down and talking into some hole- they dont see leshy burrowed into the ground

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Guide To Tone Tags ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Tone tags are little indicators people put at the end of a sentence or message to clarify the intent or feelings of that message ^-^ you’ve probably seen them before. They’re really helpful especially online because it can be difficult to tell the tone of something online through text, especially if you don’t know the person and their usual speaking habits.

Just as a note: please don’t use these ironically. It defeats the purpose of tone tags and can be very confusing for some people! Just leave the tone tag out if you’re being sarcastic about it.

♡ General Tone ♡

• /j - Joking - this message isn’t serious, it’s a joke.

• /hj - Half Joking - they are joking about something but they are also likely to do it or believe what they are saying. It’s a joke and it’s not serious, but there is a little bit of truth in it. (Usually this is in the form of exaggeration i.e. “I hate twitter/hj” means they don’t really hate twitter, they do dislike some aspects of it though)

• /s or /sarc - Sarcastic - they’re saying something that is opposite of what they actually mean or feel. (Sarcasm online is also represented a lot by using long words and random capitalization i.e. “I nEvEr Would HaVe KnoOoooooOOOWnnN” they mean this sarcastically - they knew).

• /srs - Serious - they really mean what they are saying, or what they’re saying is very important to them.

• /nsrs - Not Serious - they do not mean what they are saying or what they’re saying isn’t a big deal.

• /lh - Lighthearted - they don’t mean this too seriously, it’s for fun or generally well intentioned.

• /g or /gen - Genuine - what they are saying or offering is for real, they mean what they are saying sincerely, or they are actually asking for responses for a question - it’s not rhetorical.

• /nf - Not Forced - they’re asking for something but they’re not trying to pressure you or force you into doing it.

• /m -Metaphorically - what they’re saying isn’t literal or didn’t literally happen, they’re using this as a metaphor for a different situation.

• /li - Literally - the thing they are talking about actually for real happened or they believe it fully.

• /rt or /rh - Rhetorical Question - a question they don’t necessarily want responses to, it’s a statement posed as a question to make you think about the topic as opposed to actually asking for an answer.

• /hyp - Hyperbole - what they’re saying is extremely exaggerated for comedic effect or to stress something.

• /ex - Exaggeration - what they’re saying is somewhat exaggerated for comedic effect or to stress something.

• /pos - Positive - they mean this in a good way.

• /neg - Negative - they mean this in a bad way.

• /neu - Neutral - they don’t really have strong feelings on this or don’t really have an opinion on it.

♡ Feelings of the Author ♡

• /nm - Not Mad - they’re not mad about what they’re talking about

• /lu - A Little Upset - they’re a bit disappointed or sad or angry about what they’re talking about, but not too much.

• /p - Platonic - they mean this in a friendly way, they view you as a friend.

• /r - Romantic - they mean this in a romantic way, they view you as a love interest, crush, or partner.

♡ Intent of Message ♡

• /t - Teasing - they’re kidding around and teasing you, it’s not too serious.

• /th - Threat - this is an actual threat that they intent on following through with (I mostly see this one used ironically which irks me bc it defeats the entire purpose of using a tone tag so just be aware of that).

• /sx or /x - Sexual Intent - they mean this in a flirtatious and sexual way.

• /nsx or /ns - Non-Sexual Intent - they do not mean this in a sexual way, it’s more so platonic, joking, or lighthearted.

• /nbr - Not Being Rude - they’re not trying to be rude by saying this (note that this does not automatically mean what they’re saying is not rude, you can still be rude even if it’s not your intention to be).

♡ Who is Being Talked To or About ♡

• /nbh - Nobody Here - they’re not talking about anyone here (usually used in group chats or small communities).

• /nsb - Not Subtweeting - they’re not saying this as a vague response to anything or anyone, they’re just genuinely talking about it.

• /nay - Not At You - they’re not aiming what they’re talking about at you specifically.

• /ay - At You - they are specifically targeting what they’re saying for you.

♡ Where is This From / Miscellaneous ♡

• /ij - Inside Joke - it’s a joke but might only be understood by a small group of people. Don’t stress if you don’t get it or don’t understand what they’re talking about. Inside jokes are usually hard to explain to others.

• /ref - Reference - this is a reference to something else, usually a meme or piece of media.

• /ot - Off Topic - this is unrelated to what was being talked about before.

• /cb - Clickbait - usually this means the message is exaggerated or falsely advertised to get your attention. Often used in a lighthearted / joking manner.

• /c -Copypasta - this is a copypasta, they copied it from somewhere else.
