I love these boys so much, I’m so proud of them for making it this far 😭

If you’re taking prompts, could we please get a little sketch of Ron putting a silly little bandaid on Glenn (who clearly doesn’t need one but is accepting it to appease Ron) 🙏

They made it to the semi-finals! I'm proud of them!

Glenn's a little perplexed, but he appreciates the concern. Ron thinks this is very serious business.

Oooo, this title is pretty and I am a curious creature so "What the Moon Brings" for the WIP Game.

Hiii Striv! This is the fic im most excited about, my At the Mountains of Dadness fic! It follows my OC Daphne de la Thames, an English actress who worked across from Meryl Streep before the Depression and who is swept into the AtMoD adventure in a bid to be rehired by the film studio so she can financially support her twin baby niece and nephew.

This excerpt is an attempt to write something creepy, in a Call of Cthulhu style, and I think I’ve done okay :D

Last line meme thing

rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

I got tagged by @radarsteddybear and @rose-of-pollux two weeks ago for one of these (sorry ^^'), and I just realised I actually am working on a WIP! So -

“How d’you feel?” asked Pike when her eyes and her pendant stopped glowing. Scanlan looked down at her hand, still on his bare chest, and grinned. “Like the most beautiful woman in the world is touching me, so… yeah, pretty awesome. Kinda horny, too, of course.” Pike drew back her hand immediately and snorted, her ears very pink. “Of course. Well,” she added more gently, “I think you’ll be fine.”

Early days!Scanlan is fun to write, for all I want to swat a rolled-up newspaper at his head. (also, fun fact: that last line is 100% wrong in the short term 🥰)

Tagging @tinydooms, @strivia, @kabbal, @pandaimitator and @whisker-biscuit 💜

For the WIP game, catch me looking at Crack a Ship. (Is this part of the ongoing series perchance? 👀)

:3c Well... not so much 'part of'. More like a companion piece. A spin-off. An AU. (the tags involve Darius/Wu and sex pollen. I am in AGONY because ~current events~ are really interfering with my ability to take this smutty, cracky one-shot with the respect and dignity it deserves.)

Thank you for the ask, @strivia! <3

For the ask, 5 and 19!

5.If Adira had an animal companion,what animal should it be?

I'm really fond of the idea (credit to Strivia!) that while Hector has a giant rhino, Adira would actually have a smaller animal companion! I would love for her to have a pet mouse or rat that she carries around in her satchel or perched on her shoulder, maybe tucked under her hair- and they're probably named after some gourmet variety of cheese. They'd be easy to travel with and transport, they wouldn't slow her down, and she could give them little nibbles of her cooking. I could also see a ferret or stoat for her!

19.Favorite brotherhood fanfic?

If it counts, I would say all of the lil threads and thoughts and AUs that Xannerz and I have shared and made up together- fanfics for an audience of two. uvu

Beyond that, I've said it before but I'm very picky/particular when it comes to fic and character handling/characterization. Most of what's out there doesn't appeal to me. I did answer this ask a long time ago about Brotherhood-centric fic recs, and I think all of those choices still hold up tho!

Last Line Tag

Tagged by the fantastic @illegalcerebral

Rules: Share the last line you added to your WIP and tag as many people as there are words.

I actually have two that I've had open recently. Of course, A Flicker of Light:

If her Master already knew, then there was no reason to betray Luke’s trust, but if he didn’t… 

The other is a several year old neglected Wynonna Earp oneshot that I had forgotten about and started poking at again:

 “Now where were we?” she asked suggestively and Robert leaned up, catching her in a kiss and she squeaked a laugh as she fell back down to his pillow with him. 

So I'm just going to tag a random number of people lol

I love that even if I don't see your icon, I immediately recognize your typing vibe in tags. I'm like ohhhh excited Sam spotted ✨✨💖

💗💗💗

Dhdhdhdhdh hiiii Striv i love u so much do u know that??? Thank u <3

[speremint]

Finally got around to reading BnR and I love it so much. 🥺💞💖 I read the chapters released on canvas initially, and then life was quite hectic so I'd always be like !!!! when I saw you post new stuff for them, but hadn't gone and read properly til now. So many nuanced and messy relationships! 👏 Definitely felt those panels about the struggle of job hunting. There's a lot of things where it's like, man, ya, it's hard to be a young adult. Anyway, just wanted to tell you I really like the story you've created! ✨

Strivia you’re too sweet!! I’m so sorry it took me so long to respond to this; I saw it in my ask and mentally replied and then forgot sjdlkfjselkf

But it means a lot, thank you so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed!!

[strivia]

Cashing in my Clampler vote with everyone I can for this hyper specific Henry Oak request. I don't care about the exact pose, just Henry being sexy and the tagline "An ass you can set your watch to."

Please and thank you.

You fool! You don't realize you've given me the PERFECT excuse to draw pole dancer Henry!

(thank you for your support of Glenn/Ron, my beloveds)

An ass you can set your watch to.🍑✨

💝Jodie? (for the headcanon ask game)

Headcanon ask game

💝 A headcanon about their love language

Ooh, Jodie is all about touch. Leaning against Morgan while watching tv, putting a hand on her knee while driving, lacing his fingers between Scam's (and inevitably getting playfully creeped out when Scam keeps changing the size and shape of his fingers, but eventually settling on a form that fits perfectly with Jodie's). His favourite though was after Nicholas was born, holding him skin-to-skin on his chest to help him sleep through the night was his undeniable best part of being a father.

Tangled Ask Game!

📺 Another show you’d like to see have a crossover with Tangled

Ahhhhh, I’m really not sure! I’m sorry! I really respect people who can think up and develop Crossovers because I get really stuck for them 😅

💭 How did you learn about TTS?

Through animatics initially! There was this Hamilton Animatic to ‘Ready as I’ll ever be’ (by Mushie R!) that first introduced me to the song/series. Then one of my Cosplay Friends was posting pictures of Decay incantation Rapunzel that peaked my interest more. Then later down the line I saw the storyboards/animation for Nothing left to lose which just made me very interested (ugh the way they animated that 360 camera swoop tho)

At the start of Quarantine, I got Disney + to watch Hamilton! But it was like a week away so I decided to watch TTS in the mean time, the rest is history

B, E, N, and W?

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

HR/Reverb was one I hadn't really considered until @strivia brought the ship to my attention and it just clicked for me. It has some of the same draw for me as Harry/Cisco - got that grumpy-sunshine thing going on. But in a very, very different way.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

I've written a number of cracky and silly things and hope to write plenty more. My favorite has to be Hollywood Takes Central City especially because of the one brave interviewer who asks Eobard about his one-sided crush on Barry. But also Len telling different lies about his very definitely real meta powers, Lisa passing off her pick pocketing skills as a very definitely real meta power (siblings truly thinking alike there, lol), Mick landing a date with a stunt woman... the whole thing really was a blast to write and definitely the most ridiculous thing I've written thus far.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

Caitlin and Iris friendship fics. There's 89 fics tagged with Caitlin Snow & Iris West. 89 out of 28,000+ fics. That's... not really a lot. (it goes down by one if I filter for English fics only.) Much as I do enjoy their romantic ship (of which there are 220 fics at the moment), it'd be nice to see more platonic stories about them.

Speaking of platonic ships and Iris, I'd also love to see more fics exploring her relationship with Cecile. If Caitlin and Iris friendship fics are in low supply, then Iris and the woman who is essentially her step mom are virtually non-existent. Cecile Horton & Iris West as a tag clocks in at 6 fics. Six.

And as long as I'm on a roll here, there are only 4 fics for Allegra Garcia & Iris West. I'd love to have fics about Iris mentoring Allegra with Iris' passion for journalism inspiring Allegra's own. We get that some in canon, but it'd be nice to have fics that really dug into their dynamic.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Hanahaki disease. It is incredibly rare for me to like a fic with that trope in it. Not impossible, but 95% of the time I'm gonna skip that sucker. It's wrapped up too much in amatonormativity and people feeling entitled to having their romantic feelings returned that even when people try to break away from those stereotypes for the trope it generally still feels mired in those things to me.
