WIP List

@yellowocaballero tagged me and I thought, "i haven't started anything new since last time I did this" but it turns out that's a lie! so yeah, uh, here we go

Rules: In a new post, post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!

gowtt

dig two graves

rtlcas!

it's jest a flesh wound

the religion one but for real this time

Birthday Boys

not gonna get too far but that's okay

Oh no

I think last time I answered questions about "it's jest a flesh wound", "Oh no", and "not gonna get too far but that's okay" and those haven't had anything new added. This list is in order of most recently worked on, so the ones at the top of the list are fresher in my brain.

Tagging: @tavina-writes, @soybean-official, @mimbotomy, anyone who's feeling this? (no pressure of course!!)

Finally decided to post my solo Jason Todd because he is the love of my life and I realized I never actually drew him by himself which obviously needed to be fixed. And yes, I read DC vs. Vampires and felt inspired! XD  Print

I know there's probably a rule in FOP where time freezes when a character time travels so no one notices they're missing at all (imagine how many missing children cases there'd be if there weren't), but I can't help but think about Dev getting stuck in the past longer than expected and Dale flipping the hell out.

None of Dale's calls go through. Voice-mail doesn't work. Whatever tracker he has on Dev (because you know he has one) says he's by Vicky's house but Dev is nowhere to be found, even after a throughout search. He desperately flips through security footage for something that could tell him where Dev went (the security system doesn't have any evidence of the time travel wish because magic cloaking) and his stomach lurches when he sees that Vicky was at Dev's birthday party. She knows where Dale lives. She knows Dale has a son. Every security measure he took to prevent Vicky from finding Dev had failed, all because the Au-Pairs selected Vicky as an entertainer via algorithm. Dale spirals downwards, feeling like a complete failure and losing motivation to do anything because he allowed such a massive oversight to happen. He doesn't trust his own judgment. He doesn't trust his technology. His world starts falling apart. He stops slicking his hair. He takes off his boots, not feeling worthy of them. He stops drinking orange juice.

Dale had conflicting emotions about his son—not wanting to get too vulnerable (to prevent getting hurt and because he's worried Dev would think less of him), but finding comfort in his son, even if he refused to fully acknowledge it. Dale liked knowing he made something incredible, something that brings honor to the Dimmadome name, something to make him feel less alone.

With Dev gone, all Dale can feel is the vacuum he left behind. How empty and meaningless his life feels without his baby boy greatest accomplishment.

Dale knows he could theoretically clone another child, but he can't bring himself to. He rationalizes this as sunk-cost fallacy—the fact he put a decade of his life into keeping Dev alive and how terrifying it'd be to start from scratch (babies are so vulnerable).

Subconsciously, Dale misses Dev. Dale misses hearing the beeps and boops of Dev's spider game. Dale misses taking Dev places to show him off and teach him the ropes of running Dimmacorp. Dale misses Dev interrupting his meetings, showing outward annoyance but basking in the knowledge someone cares enough about him to seek him out.

Dale misses Dev calling him DAD.

And this isn't even getting into the tidal wave of emotions when Dev finally returns to the present.

butters is soooooo shiny rn

[girlivealwaysbean]

on one hand completely ignoring your emotions is soo good for my mental stability and productivity but man i miss staring at the ceiling and listening to sad songs on loop

[im2tired4usernames]

Ugh I was excited for today until I found out I'd have to spend it with people that actively make me hate being alive hate the future and drain me off all energy physically mentally spiritually like a vampire I can't stand to be around her she is the definition of stupidity and even then that's generous as fuck this bitch has filled her brain with so much garbage I watch her brain cells die at alarming rates every single time she uses her vocal cords her giggles make me want to jam a sewing needle into my ear repeatedly so I can never have to hear it again its a friendly reminder that my parents decisions this time my dad's constantly makes me want to die

[frasermints]

i just want it to be hot outside and to not get dark until 10pm and to be sitting blowing bubbles in my hammock is that too much to ask

[sweetdreamspootypie]

I am finally encountering social situations where I have to work out how to address misgendering and now finally relate to the Grumpy People of Tumblr Discourse Past

In that... what 'adult sounding' terms can I even point to to use in casual conversation as a nonbinary person?

Enby is the default suggestion which I guess I could try

But my problem is compounded by the fact that I don't actually have any terms that I already use

Whenever I say anything self referential, it is exclusively always in the context of telling someone (or myself) that I beat the executive dysfunction ('i did a thing' millennial style)

So my existing terms of self reference are just

Good noodle (who did the thing)

Very Helpful Engine (what my mother says when I do the thing, and is a reference to Thomas the Tank Engine)

Or, very rarely, just

A Bean

And while cutesyness works for internal processing, it doesn't really cohere to the desired public facing quasi-butchness I'm going for

I have not actually said anything since the first instance bc

Them: "very impressive furniture shifting and renting and driving a truck all by yourself! What a woman!"

And my instinctual response was just to blurt out the correction "bean!" and skitter off...

[side note: it was interesting that the dad also used the same instance of furniture moving demonstration of physical prowess go emphasize and affirm the son's masculinity - directly in reference to the dad's masculinity "that's my son", in the same moment as the mother saw it as female empowerment for me... Almost as if the boost in the sense of self efficacy and self concept and achievement that comes from a satisfying hard task is a gender neutral experience... But we just experience it as gendered bc our self concept includes gender...and it is also projected upon us by others who see us as extensions of themselves]

Anyway I need to find a work around for this bc I am historically a praise starved bitch (the other self referential term which also doesn't work) and finally have a mother figure trying to say nice things but the shots go wide lol

Might just have to lean in and reclaim dyke

Hello yes please exclusively refer to me as the excellent lesbian sleeping with your son

[velvtcherie]

seeing atwow's cast filming for avatar 3 without jamie flatters makes me feels unimaginable depths of pain bc tht means my boy neteyam is fr gone

I might just straight up revert back to writing Fixation, Gyokko's a fucking BITCH to write for but I still wanna press on with his fic too because there's so little content for him, like, everywhere. He's underrated, there's next to no information about him, and I'm struggling to properly write him after he nearly skewered an artist reader!
