[apologetic-artist]

Hey there Apolo! :) Noticed "The Scary Jokes" background and started to stim, I LOVE their music so much. Speaking of music.. I'm actually showing up to everyone's inboxes right now to ask about their taste in music? What kind of bands they might enjoy, OR EVEN GAME OSTS.. Anything! If you have anything you'd like to ramble about even if it applies to your little AU you most certainly should do that because I'm always eager to learn more about projects people are working on 🩷

By the way. I LOVE your story? I'm really excited to hear more about it so this is also just an excuse to get some information about it if you're willing to talk about it. Ramble as much as you want btw!! ILYSM /p Take care of yourself!

HI DOLL!! HIII!! :D

Oh yeah!! Music is so fun!! I actually really like talking about music despite not doing it much. Funny thing, The Scary Jokes banner that I have, I actually put it up for April Fools Day because of their album "April Fools" since it just made so much sense. I kept it there bc I just like how it looked. But yeah!! I also really enjoy their music, "Catabolic Seed" and "Apple Pie" are my current favorite songs from them. Anywaysies, as for some music that I enjoy, I really like the genre of Speedcore/Breakcore music. I somewhat categorize them in the same area since they're both very similar. Some of my favorite artists that use this medium are: MAILPUP, Nero's Day At Disneyland, Lapfox Trax/Halleylabs, BRN1NG BRAIN SOUND INDUSTRIES, and a few others. Some stuff that I enjoy in this genre is the chaotic nature of it, experimental style, the intensity in some parts(such as loud nonsensical noises), and it just makes me energized. As for other music artists I like when I feel like that I wanna switch it up are: Jack Stauber, Mr Floyd Larry, Lemon Demon, Mother Mother, Will Wood, FNaF music(honestly has some of the best music), and artists like Oliver Buckland. Honestly, I listen to a whole variety of music, like i also enjoy vaporwave and other ambient music. There's just a whole lot of stuff I like, but I'm still slightly picky with music, idk how to describe it if I'm being honest.

I might as well give you a few songs I like if you don't mind. Feel free to check it out if you want, no pressure :3

NAMx - Renard Queenston/Lapfox Trax (this song is pretty loud, just a heads up but it's really good :>)

Safe and Sound - Mr Floyd Larry

Reptile Crawling from the Forest - Nero's Day At Disneyland

Again, not forcing to listen to these, I just enjoy these songs

Okay, as for sneaky lil AU ramble, I'm gonna place it under a cut since this is a really long post buuuttttt I'll take any chance I get to talk about ze buggers :3

Soooooooooo there is just a lot to talk about, and it's hard to choose just one thing. However, I'm going to have to choose one thing, so let's go with talking about Mr. Lamp himself, Larry

Nobody really knows about Larry's past since he never talks about it or even mentions past family. He always just brushes it off and says something cheesy along the lines of "Well, y'all are my family!" Some of the ideas/theories the others have come up with is that Larry could've been dropped off at the house when he was a baby, not a real person, or just hasn't regained all his memories back. Let me back track for a sec, after the YT series came to an end, Lesley slowly started to become the one more in control and gave the teachers consciousness and their past memories back. So, it would make sense if Larry didn't receive all his memories, like it got lost in translation. Memories and past aside, it's always been an outlier among the teachers. It was a rushed out product to get the show on the road, being unfinished and always falling at the seams, literally. At the time of Larry being changed, it put up a lot of fight, waking up very often out of anesthesia and just being a very strong individual. Also, it was unsure if they wanted him to be a lamp or a lamb, and while rushing to get him done there was only half and half, so they practically "half-assed" (as others would put it) the job and rushed him out. This could also explain the unstable nature of the episode, the machine also ending up giving him shape-shifting nature. It's not a fan of this unstable nature, but it comes in handy most of the time, especially in a situation that is hard to get out of. In an argument? Turn into a mouse to scare the other away! Wanna sneak away? Turn into a fly! Need to burn down a city? Boom, dragon. So on so forth, you get the point. Larry in general is actually a very sweet person, always looking out for his found family and making sure everyone makes it out okay. Maybe a little too much at points since after the escape of Clayhill/The Rebellion, it was supposed to be one of the recovery patients but just made itself one of the caretakers instead since it "was fine" and could do everything itself but in the end did lean into that care. In general, he's a very interesting situation but is just trying to get by like all the others in the cycle.

There's definitely a lot more to talk about, such as pasts, Clayhill, currwnt relationships, character dynamics, the whole goody basket!! I really enjoy seeing you stop by and give a little check in, Doll. I'm glad to see you're interested in my projects! I enjoy creating them and writing these out for you and others to enjoy. Just thank you SO so much for stopping by! Always open for a chat. Ily2!!/p

(Feralfraggle -> Puppet-t33th)

Hi welcome to my Fraggle Rock/Muppets/Jim Henson/Puppets/Whatever blog.

I’m Canines and my pronouns are He/Him. I’m Aroace and a Transmasc Demiboy I like Fraggle Rock a little too much.

Red Fraggle is the GOAT, and if I see her be the butt of the joke I make a new AU where she’s the main character.

I also really like Gobo and Mokey.

I’m a Back To The Rock disliker but that doesn’t come up much. But feel free to block me if that bothers you.

My opinions on other Muppet stuff is that it’s epic but I can’t elaborate more on that because Fraggle Rock is my current hyperfixation.

I swear a lot and sometimes post about my horror AUs! Block “TMA AU”, “Necromancer Redkey”, and “Catabolic Seed AU” if you don’t want to see those

I over explain myself sometimes, sorry, my bad, I have autism and hate being misinterpreted.

(main blog is @canine-t33th)

[4lph4kidz]

3, 4, 17, 18, 26 and 36 for the writer ask game. :3

3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

i play ridiculous music when i can't concentrate and need stimulation. running in the 90s. mad rat monday. spamton CD. this kasane teto song which i have seen (accurately imo) described as penis music.

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

i can't really... think of any? there are words i like but i wouldn't say i hoot and holler if i see a chance to use them, or see them crop up in someone else's work. themes and ideas, yeah! specific words... idk.

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

i've been doing a lot of probably entirely unnecessary research for my latest WIP which is... hm! how about i dm you about that one.

on the subject of research, i'm under no illusions, catabolic seed is sheer scifi nonsense (affectionate). i've purposefully held off from getting too in the weeds with it because i know i would stress too much about complex worldbuilding and scientific accuracy, so a lot of stuff that isn't directly relevant to the plot is broad strokes stuff. as per the main inspiration, wolf 359, i'm leaning more on the workplace comedy at the start (because, haha, i have a job, he just like me fr) but i may develop the sci fi elements more once its time to fully bring them into the story. what i do have is: detailed bios and job descriptions for each character, a rough layout of the spaceship Hemera, notes on robotics and spacefaring technology, rival factions within the worldspace, some alien biology stuff... i'm a pretty big science nerd, and i enjoy good hard sci fi! but we're not doing that here, we're putting guys in situations. this is about genre. verisimilitude. you're getting good old fashioned technobabble.

18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.

alright, how about this part from ch1 of catabolic seed! i made some pretty big last minute changes to the beginning of the fic because the pacing wasn't working, and i ended up pulling in a scene from much later in the story to serve as a dirkjake meet cute.

i like set up. establishing tone, creating atmosphere... the way you introduce a character, even one known already to the audience, is something i think is important and i enjoy playing with that a lot. originally jane was present and dirk was going to be pulling a bunch of wires out of the wall, which jane described as 'disemboweling her spaceship' but at some point i decided him popping out of the vent and scaring the shit out of jake seemed like a more fun idea so i ran with it. this establishses dirk as a potential threat, which leads to the stupid kabedon moment later, which leads to the jokes about the disney cruise liner and the engineering section flooding... i didn't have time to think it through all the way but as far as choices made on the fly go i think i made it work!

dirk being in the vents was also pulling from wolf 359, specifically referencing the character captain minkowski who i felt was kind of comprable to dirk in terms of her neuroses - it wasn't till i got someone else's eyes on it that they pointed out that i'd introduced dirk exactly like a fucking xenomorph, which was perfect, so i scrambled to insert a textual reference to the alien movies and doing some hasty worldbuilding while i was at it.

in general i think exploring the relationship from jake's point of view is super interesting. in an au where they don't already know each other, dirk is an interesting figure for jake to 'figure out' - aloof, mysterious, other - classic love interest stuff. which is perhaps less interesting than their deal in canon, but hey, i'm having fun running with it.

26. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?

hm, i don't know. i hyperfixated on the alpha kids pretty hard so i think i already have quite well-formed interpretations of their personalities and perspectives, it's not hard to dredge those up when i need them. i won't pretend my writing is for sure an accurate reflection of canon characterisation or anything but i'll go read passages from canon when writing and refining dialogue especially. and hmm. i do end up going to dark places sometimes, and nearly every fic ends up quite a bit darker than i mean it to... i'm totally fine. don't worry about it.

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice…what do you Know?

be bisexual, eat hot chip and lie

aside from my aforementioned interests in genre fiction, or biology, i can see what i'm grappling with as a person reflected quite clearly in what i end up exploring in my work. i have the past experiences of being a queer teenager who had no idea what was going on, grappling with mental illness and feeling incredibly alone. or i can draw on my experiences as an adult, finding myself as a person, going out into the world, and all the struggles therein.

[murdermortician]

Les you should infodump about your silly blue clown sona btw and post art of her btw (/nf)

Skele the Mime

History of Skele

Skele was originally made during a small exercise where I made a character based off a certain tone of color. I chose blue, indigo, and purple. I added white and black to the mix because they're neutral shades and they go with most things harmoniously enough. I loved her very much so I turned her into my main rep for all my accounts and she's a big part of my online identity.

Does she have a backstory?

She doesn't have her own backstory since she's just me as a clown, but she has different little things. For example, I talk quite a lot and I can be an oversharer but she is incapable of speaking. However, I didn't make her unable to talk because of that, I made her unable to speak because I can't explain or label my emotions properly and I struggle with explaining things. It's a metaphor for how I have a weakness when it comes to describing myself, my emotions, or my interests. However, I will likely start including her in my own AUs as a self-insert of some sort.

The most that she has as an independent character apart from me is that she has her own small world she would control and live in. It's essentially just a small circus tent. When I draw her, she often appears in blue or lilac surroundings, and that's because the lights in her tent are those colors. Her tent is somewhat close to a backroom level except there is no "outside" of the tent to leave to. She's a friendly creature until you mess her home up or bother her guests. It's another parallel to how I can be very protective of my belongings and my loved ones. She will likely not do anything harmful, but she will make it clear you're not welcome in her tent anymore.

@real-l1fe-r1ot

[quillsinkwell]

For the ask game, I'll send a few!!

for one you don't know much about: Arcee, For a AU Character: Swap Bendy or Joey, and for a cannon character you do know: Allison!

1, 2, 3, and 27

For Swap!Bendy:

1: My first impression of them

'oh you can fit SO much trauma in this boi'

2: When I think I started to like/dislike them

I always had a soft spot for the little guy, mainly because before we worked out the full extension of the AU, the mental image of the little guy following you around while you run errands sounded wonderful :]

3: A song that reminds me of them

I already screamed about 'Catabolic Seed' in our DMs, but another one that I kinda think a lot is 'The Chattering Lack of Common Sense' by Ghost! I see it as kind of a summary of his character development, realizing he can't hide away on the sidelines and that he needs to take action!

27: If they could meet a character from another show/movie/etc, who would be the most interesting for them to meet?

Hmmm this might seem odd but I think Toriel Dreemurr from Undertale! Both of them hid themselves away from their society because of twisted things that were going on that they couldn't stop.

For Swap!Joey:

1: 'oh he and susie are gonna fucking maul each other'

2: I started to like him once we developed him more and made him kinder and more caring about his employees.

3: House of Memories by Panic! At The Disco! It really represents Ghost!Joey and him reflecting on the hand he played in the tragedy Susie caused and blaming himself for it. (This song also works for Canon!Joey but that's a post for another day)

27: I think Asgore Dreemurr, again, from Undertale, would be pretty interesting to see with him! Both of them chose a heavily flawed solution in the name of trying to help the people to care about (plus there is the dilf vibes-)

For Canon!Allison

1: hmmm I was kinda intrigued by her when I first saw her in the game!

2: I started to like her when the game showed more of her character! Though I have to admit she lost a bit of favor when I realized that she could have freed Henry using her sword but for plot reasons didn't.

3: I Know Those Eyes/This Man Is Dead from The Count of Monte Cristo! This came to me when BATDR came out and showed us that Allison was actively trying to save Susie. It represents, again, Allison trying to help Susie and get through to her and Susie resisting her efforts.

27: You know, it would be kinda poetic if I said Asriel, but it don't fit, haha. It's kind of a mix between Tess from The Last of Us and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney.

...ok, I swear I can explain-

Tess: Badass survivor with a partner and an ambiguous relationship with said partner. I think they'd have an interesting relationship.

Phoenix Wright: Ok, this makes sense I swear. Both of them (Phoenix in the first game) are trying to save someone who's done some messed up junk because they know that person can be better.

Plus Phoenix deals with supernatural shenanigans on the regular and I kinda wanna see his reaction to ink people.

Ask me stuff about random characters!

[gendy-endy]

You know the cookie run x warrior cat M.A.P.s (like the scourge-Eclair ome) I kinda wanna host one, but it's more of a warrior cats au then the mash up thing

It's probably going to be to the song catabolic seed by The Scary Jokes and I'm going to have to redo the designs a bit and update them to my current style but I feel like it could be really cool

[dildo-swaggins-t-baggins]

The deadend is not kind place for mechs, it never has been. But some say if you can make it out of there you can go anywhere. Drift is nothing, he was a spare, a back up, and now he's wasting away in an alleyway waiting for his spark to return the well. However, he's not quiet ready to die and a young stubborn medic won't give up hope. Ratchet knows that Drift is far more then the deadlock he believes, or his professor says the man is. His professor is determined to prove otherwise.

AU where Ratchet is a young promising Medical student, and Drift is an older down on his luck street bot
