dictator!mack reigns.

Artist Note: this piece is pretty challenging to do especially that i have to use a reference for this just because i want to make this fanservice to be different than my past works.

also i still suck at BG.

If Walls Could Talk, Chapter 4

Dictator!Mack x reader, femme

Warnings: pred/prey (semi-kinky), use of "kitten", daddy kink

You find yourself in the middle of the woods, confused as to how you even got there in the first place. The moonlight casted a pale white color around you. You look around and the one instinct you have is to start to run.

Run as fast as you can.

You hear a sing-song voice call out to you in the distance “Y/N… Y/N… Where are you?”

You could now hear your pulse in your ears. Panic truly starting to sink in.

The sounds of leaves and twigs crunching under your feet echoed throughout the woods.

You weren’t focused on much, just the thought of having to get away.

You then spot a boulder and quickly dive behind it. Your hand slams on your mouth in effort to quiet any sobs that threaten to escape.

You sit there for a while until you’re met with a faint blue glow behind you.

A figure comes out from being the large rock you were sitting against.

“Oh, kitten, Daddy’s been looking for you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You walk into the store, groggy as all get out. Your mind has been fuzzy as of late. It seemed to be fine when you were working or with friends but when you were alone, thoughts of him filled your mind.

You see out of the corner of your eye an outfit that piqued your interest. A pair of yellow plaid bell bottoms with a matching crop top.

You pick it up and look at it closely. You shrug your shoulders and toss it in the cart next to the groceries you picked out earlier.

As you exit the store, you make your way to your car. After putting your items in the backseat, you go to the front and start the engine.

On the way home, you decide to stop at the local car shop.

Going in, you see a familiar face.

“Hey! How is youse doin’?” You hear the man ask.

Going in for a hug “I’m doing fine. I heard a weird noise coming from my muffler, do you mind checking it out?”

With a nod he responds “Youse know I got you. Let me take a look.” as he slides under the back of your car.

You take a seat on the chair sitting askew from the vehicle.

“She should be good as new.”

“Thanks, Yance. I’ll see you around.” You commented as you slide back into the driver’s seat.

He gives you a salute as you drive off.

Pulling into the driveway, you get out and collect your bags.

After entering the house, you drop the bags off in the kitchen.

Later on, after you had showered, you went and decided to watch a few movies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up the next morning was different. You didn’t have any dreams about the man that had been, haunting, them for the past month or so.

You were confused to say the least. Maybe he was finally leaving your subconscious, or maybe it was something else.

The day was your day off, but your work called you in a few hours later.

“Hello?” You inquire answering the phone.

“Hey, Y/N, could you come in today? We have a special guest and he’s keen on seeing you, specifically.” The employee on the other end stated.

“Yeah, I’ll be there soon.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arriving at work, you see a limo outside. Confusing struck your mind.

Flashing your badge, you were buzzed in. You then go and drop off your things and meet your boss.

Knocking on the door, you were then let in. You notice a man sitting in the chair.

Your stomach drops when he stands up and you recognize who it is.

“I’m so glad you could make it.” Your boss comments

Mack smiles and goes to shake your hand; the feeling of his, unusually, bare skin sent a small shiver down your spine. His hands being so smooth and soft.

There was a moment of silent before Mack spoke up. “Hello, Y/N. I was just in town, and decided to drop in. I was just telling your boss how impressed I was with the company, and your work. It’s really good.”

A shy smile fell upon your face along with nice rosy cheeks. “Oh, thank you, sir.”

“Oh, no need to call me that. You can call me by name.” He remarks

“Well, Mack, thank you. It’s really interesting how the brain works.”

Pausing for a moment, he looks at you and you swear you could see his eyes glow for a second.

The next two or so hours were spent leading him on a tour of the facility. You showed him everything; from the cubicles where the coders worked to your own lab.

You pass Madison’s cubicle on the way out of your lab, and they give you a thumbs up. You just give them a side eye.

Making your way to the front entrance, you say your goodbyes.

“I hope I’ll be in town more often. It was really intriguing seeing how you work.” Mack states

There was yet another moment of silence as Mack took your frame in one last time.

He thought you were so small compared to him, fragile even.

A sigh of relief escapes your lips. Your heartrate finally seemed to calm down since the moment you saw him.

Mack climbed into the back of his limo and just grins. He then goes through the mental checklist he had. ‘Step one, complete.’

You, yourself, were left gaining a morbid curiosity about the man. What was he really like?

[running-on-a-broken-record]

what if i just said that i can fix him (no really i can) fits any of matthew’s characters?

OH MY GOSH YOU’RE SO RIGHT

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) would be so perfect for MadPat and Mack specifically

Trying to fix Mack (dictator) by dating him and making him change his ways to be a kinder ruler… finally realizing it’s impossible because he’s too far gone??? PERFECTION

Trying to convince MadPat not to be the evil chainsaw maniac he is, and begging him to not murder anyone else, but he doesn’t listen and does it anyway? AHHH

[literatureisdying]

are you having fun at arcane? it looks like there are lesbians now?

i just now saw this but YES i’m having the most wonderful (horrible) time at arcane i love (hate) these lesbians who are definitely not toxic or a danger to both themselves and others !!!!!!!!!

[caffeinatedreese]

I am so determined to finish my goddamn ISWM fanfic not so I can move on to other fandoms.

But so I can write another ISWM fanfic and not feel guilty about not finishing the first one ���🤣🤣

[gaymingintrovert]

dictator!mack: i'm in control of everything, you have no power over me.

also dictator!mack, crumbling into an absolute flustered mess the second the captain does anything mildly assertive:

This is literally what happens and you can’t convince me otherwise

Mack: I’m the one in charge here

Captain: Mack if you don’t fix the coffee machine, you’re getting a demerit

Mack, already fully a dictator and blushing: YeS captain-

The most fun part is the captain’s 100% oblivious to this

So while they’re still getting used to Mack being in charge they’ll just-

“You don’t have permission to be here, engineer.”

And Mack just explodes. He is deceased. Especially if he’s given ~The Look~ of sternness

[insane4fandoms]

Ok but consider

Dictator Captain

I have no idea if that would even work it was just a random thought I had

“This is my ship, and I am the Captain,”

Captain really said “Aren’t you tire of being nice, don’t you just want to go apeshit?” And they look hot doing so, my goodness.

@neons-trash-blog @crazy-obsessed-enby

Celci is thirsty for this new Captain, I mean who wouldn’t? 😏

[whatthesavannah]

Ok, so imagine in the universe where Mack gains control of the ship and becomes a dictator, the one where he practically makes you immortal and keeps you in a cell for the rest of your eternity. There’s this big explosion in the middle of the city, and Mack is getting footage of what’s happening live, and in the smoke he sees a very familiar silhouette, which gives his camera a wave and disappears. And he immediately goes running to where the you’re being held captive and when he gets there…you’re still there, chained!like an animal, so he leaves. And the only person who knows what happened is you, and you weren’t in your cell 5 minutes ago.

No Chapter Today

Not only is it Fathers day, meaning I’m not currently home, but my mental health tanked last night and I haven’t completely gotten out of the funk, so today I won’t be posting another DoL chapter (as I also have not yet finished it).

Trying to do some good self care. Hopefully I’ll have a chapter for tomorrow!

In the meantime, have some cute art my bestie @clemclamdoodles did for me of Mack and Rhys :)

Iswm ponderings- Mack ending

I was thinking about Iswm part 2 with the dicator Mack ending.

We know how the time line got glitched and how the captain's fate got worse and worse with each gltich.

In the first glitch, the captain was first treated like a lowly gopher/ servant nt (Kinda like how we treated Mark in that one ending.)

But then then Captain was being imprisoned, and being injected with things that will prolong our life in prison.

But then we, the captain, were sentenced to death by firing squad and then it was to be broadcast to the colony as an exapmple.

Here is where the ponderings come in. We know egnineer mark got seperated from us, and how sometimes we would run into each other in different time lines.

I wonder how he would have reacted seeing the captain in each of the scenarios.

And then there would be different reactions depending if he was dissilluisoned by us at that time or not.

(Tempted to do sketches or a drabble about this. so many good story possibilties.)

Doppelganger

Dictator!Mack x reader x Mack

Warnings: angst, character death

You and Mack were sitting at home when you heard a wooshing noise come from behind you.

You turn around and a portal, like the ones you used to experience, appears. You start to get worried that you may have done something again. Although, that was unlikely seeing as you didn’t have the crystal anymore.

You then see a figure start to walk out.

You turn to Mack, who was just staring and whisper “If anything happens. You know who to call.”

The both of you stand up and get into fighting positions.

Your head tilts to the side as you recognize the man that had popped out. It was Mack, but not your Mack. This Mack you encountered along your journey through the multiverse. You didn’t stay long there, shockingly.

You had affectionately named this one Dictator, because that’s what he turned into. The betrayal you felt when you landed in that world hit you like an airplane.

You were so happy when you got a final reset and returned to your Mack. The one that was kind and caring. 

There was a moment of silence before the intruder spoke up. “Oh, hello there. It’s nice seeing you again.” 

Once again, you turn to Mack and the look on his face was one of anger. 

“You must be the Captain’s precious head engineer, or at least the other one.” 

“Who I am is of no concern to you, doppelganger.” Mack states in a stern tone.

“Don’t try to act so tough, all of us know you’re weak.” The dictator returns.

You look at Mack “Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

“Oh Captain…” he draws out “you’re just as weak as he is. Remember how I had you wrapped around my finger? Did everything I said. How I turned you into the perfect pet before the multiverse stole you from me. It’s not like it matters anyway, another version of you showed up and let’s just say, they’re even more broken than you were.”

Rage and anger now filled you. You hated thinking about that time. When you returned to your universe, it took you a while before you could even look at Mack, but with some time, you learned to trust him again.

You then see Dictator’s eyes glow a nice shade of dark red. The same red that was the color of his war room.

Mack whispers something in your ear and you duck. You see a flash of blue that had come from Mack’s hand. 

You then see a flash of red. 

Then you sneak around that couch and go for your comms. Your hand was then hit with a beam. “I don’t think that’s going to be happening.” Dictator states between waves of his staff at Mack.

Mack continues to try to hit the tyrant. Somehow almost every single shot had missed. 

You didn’t, no couldn’t, do much. This was between them now. If only you had paid a little more attention to when Mack was practicing his magic.

You slid under the dining table and pulled your legs up to your chest in an attempt to not get hit. 

Flashes of red and blue are the only things you see.

You still had your comms in your hand, desperately trying to get them to work, but it was worthless. You hadn’t thought about grabbing your phone either. 

“All you have to admit that you’re not even half of what I am and I’ll leave” Dictator remarks.

“Like hell that’s going to happen!” Mack shouts.

“Then I guess I’ll have to dispose of you, take this world as well. I would very much enjoy having two pets.”

Your heart was now racing. You couldn’t think straight at all. 

That’s when you hear a loud thud.

You crawl out from underneath the table and you’re staring at Mack’s body. Your Mack.

“No! No, please. Stay with me. I, please.” You plead through the tears that were now streaming down your face.

“That was easier than I expected. He did have a little fight in him, I’ll give him that.”

You look up at the man with a look of sorrow.

“Why?” is the only thing you could get out.

“I said having two pets would be lovely.” he pauses “I’m going to have a lot of work to do.”

You clutch onto Mack, holding him, hoping and praying he’d make it through this. 

“He’s not coming back, I hope you know.”

“Oh he will. I’ll make damn sure of that.”

“I’d like to see that happen.”

“I’m not as weak as I was when you took over. I’m stronger now. I have resources.” “Mhm, sure you do, kitten.”

“Don’t you dare call me that. You lost that right a long time ago.”

“Oh, but did I? Did I really?” Dictator laughs out.

“Yes you did.”

Tears were now dripping onto Mack’s cold body. 

“I’m going to enjoy this take over, just like I did the last one.”

What if the egos saw the reader watching gtlive

(btw, i love all your fics) <3

Thank youuuu

The Detective:

— He’d probably laugh a little bit when he sees you watching his videos

— Probably teases you a little bit, but he really loves that you care enough to watch his videos just for him

MadPat:

— Probably doesn’t care

— He notices how the host looks strangely similar to him… hmmm…

— But doesn’t worry about it

Mack (dictator):

— I think he’d make note of it and use it as a way to distract you

— Like, say he has to leave you alone for a while to do dictator stuff that you can’t be part of, so he puts the screen in front of you to keep you occupied while he’s gone

— Kind of how parents will put screens in front of kids to keep them distracted

The Hermit:

— He would not trust screens at all

— “What is the talking box?” “Who is the tiny human?”

— Definitely very disturbed by it

WarfPat:

— “Ohhh, my good ole alter ego!”

— Probably judging him for, well… everything, but it won’t bother him if you watch MatPat’s videos

— Won’t let you watch GTLive when you could be with him, though. It makes him jealous (even though he’d never call it “jealousy”, what a silly word)

DarkPat:

— Hates it.

— Forces you to turn it off and probably gives you the silent treatment for a couple hours

— Eventually calms down enough to tell you about his hatred for MatPat, and respectfully asks you to never watch his videos again

Ness:

— “Woah is that me?!”

— 100% jokes about how you’ve found his long lost twin online

Every time you watch it, he makes a comment like “Oh, I can hear my twin” or “Are you watching my twin��s YouTube channel again?”

[gaymingintrovert]

I don’t know if your request are open? But I’m a Mack lover and I wanted a Mack and captain interaction please! :) (ISWM)

My requests are open! I just haven’t gotten any in a long time!

And absolutely, fellow Mack lover

Here’s some little drabbles with the Macks (there isn’t much resolution in them because I’m bad at writing short things but that’s okay-)

Crewmate

“Captain!” Mack runs up to you, hiding something behind his back. You turn to him. “Yes, Mack?” “I made you something! Close your eyes!” You hold your hands out and close your eyes, and he hands you a small box. You open the box and look inside, seeing a small metal flower and the words “Will you go out with me?” engraved on the box. You giggle and kiss Mack’s cheek. “Of course!” He blushes a deep shade of red and smiles brightly. “I’ll pick you up at dinner! We’ll eat in the bridge!” He hugs you and kisses your forehead before running off, skipping happily. You go back to your room and put the box on your desk in plain view, excited for your date.

Head Engineer

Mack spent most of his morning looking for you. You had gotten into a habit of doing your own thing in the morning, and Mack was admittedly not the biggest fan of that. He wanted to spend as much time with you as he could without admitting to you that he wanted it. “Captain.” He stands directly behind you, stopping himself from holding you. You try to hide your blush. He’s never been this close to you, though he has been slowly getting closer and closer to you. “What do you want, Mack?” “I have go make sure you’re doing your job right.” You roll your eyes. “I assure you, I’m doing my job right.” You hear him take a deep breath and feel his hand gently rest on your shoulder. “I-I also wanted to ask if you wanted to take a break. Together.” His shyness is clear in his voice and you giggle. “That sounds nice.” He brightens up. “We can take that now if you want.” You nod. “Yeah. I need a break.” He takes your hand and leads you to a break room. You two talk for a while, eventually starting to get closer to each other and even cuddling a little. Mack looks at you towards the end of the break. “…Captain? Would you want to maybe…go on a date with me?” He blushes and looks away from you. You feel your face heat up and you kiss his cheek. “I’d love to.”

Dictator

Mack thought you were nearly perfect from the second he saw you. He never started showing his affections for you until recently. You didn’t expect to have a very good life on the new planet, but Mack made sure you were taken care of. You had one of the best rooms in his house and you were kept very safe from the people who disliked you. Mack had wanted to ask you to be his for a long time, but was never confident enough. Today, he gathered all his courage and knocked on your door. You had apparently been asleep, since your bedhead was obvious (and quite adorable to Mack). “Y/N. I wanted to talk to you about something.” You start looking a little nervous. “W-what is it?” He takes a deep breath, most of his confidence suddenly gone. “I wanted to tell you that I’ve adored you for a while. I-I was wondering if you would want to…go on a date tonight?” His bright blush is obvious and he looks nervous. You relax and smile. “That sounds wonderful!” He smiles and picks you up. He twirls you around and kisses your forehead. “I’ll make sure everything is perfect!” You giggle and hug him back.

[insane4fandoms]

i have returned with more jacksepticeye mack thoughts:

i think matpat's portrayal of mack is unnerving and intense, but sean's could potentially be truly unsettling and scary.

i just remembered that mack actually does do that "slit your throat" motion at some point, and omg that's literally antisepticeye's thing-

yet another song from the "everything is a lot" album that makes me think of him:

tbh i almost feel like writing some fanfiction for this guy,,,,

Thats what I always felt about Matpat’s way of playing Mack and the potential of Jacksepticeye’s Mack

Matt’s portrayal is controlling, condescending, and narcissistic, which really gives the dictator vibe from him. The way he holds himself, that wide smile he carries, looking down at the Viewer as if they’re nothing more than an ant. That aura of power and self absorbed narcissism is what makes Matt! Mack unique

While Sean’s portrayal might’ve been similar to Antisepticeye. Erratic movements, the chaotic and scary aura he would’ve radiated, yet the familiar trait to have control. Jacksepticeye’s way of speaking could be loud and brash, quiet and unnerving, or slow and mean. If he puts that mood to Mack’s character, he could be even more of a danger.

Jack!Mack might see you as something lower than him, but like Matt!Mack, they both would want to take away the Viewer’s role as Captain, become the ruler of a colony, and keep the former Captain around for amusement and as a pet. But the one thing of how Jack!Mack could be like as a dictator.

Is the fact he would want to rule with fear, unlike Matt!Mack wanting to rule with power.

Oh how I love character analysis, makes you wish you could actually meet them. Or not.

[segretecose]

Ok, Taskmaster UK tier list. Go

excluding: pre-Series 7 (because it has been ages since i've seen them and i honestly do not remember); Champion of Champions; New Years Treat

(*) indicates the series that i have watched multiple times and/or more recently.

S16*: possibly dictated by recency bias but i genuinely enjoyed this series more than any other i think. it usually takes me a couple of episodes to warm up to the cast but i was immediately sucked in this time. not a single normal person in sight and Sam Campbell is a special brand of insane that i resonate with on a worryingly deep and personal level.

S7*: watching James Acaster get genuinely angry over futile things is one of life's greatest pleasures if you ask me and my god does this series deliver on that front. this cast exists somewhere between found family and deranged Lord of the Flies remake in a way that i find irresistible.

S10: nearly ex aequo with S13 but the fact that this was filmed during the pandemic gives it an underlying hysterical quality that makes it take the cake. the outtakes (especially the "Little Trumper" part) are possibly the hardest i've ever laughed while watching this programme.

S13*: the way the cast interact in the studio really gives this series some extra oomph. i can't quite put my finger on it but the vibe is sort of like Fellowship of the Ring except they all die the second they set foot outside of Rivendell. besides, Greg Davies being genuinely scared of Bridget Christie will never not be hilarious to me.

S11*: very close to S10 and S13 but i have a primal dislike of Lee Mack that means i personally can't fully enjoy these episodes. there are still some excellently cursed moments (e.g., "absolute casserole") to be enjoyed. i had a weird crush on Mike Wozniak for months after watching this. it was humiliating but it bumps it up in the ranking.

S9: i've only watched it once back when it aired and maybe it would rank higher if i did watch it again. Ed Gamble's actual visceral rage at David Baddiel during that one studio task is legendary, i wish we got more of that. unfortunately i can't remember much else.

S14: as deducible from this list one of my favourite Taskmaster tropes is Contestant Who Desperately Wants to Do Well being teamed up and hindered by Inept Contestant(s) and the Dara O'Briain - Fern Brady - John Kearns partnership is a shining example of that. ranks low(er) only because i feel like the tasks themselves weren't terribly memorable.

S12: similarly to S9, i feel like i need to revisit this one to form fair judgment but i don't think i ever really clicked with the cast. i liked the contestants individually but perhaps their interaction was hampered by the social distancing measures. i remember it was enjoyable but that's about it.

S8: another example of one cast member souring the overall experience for me. i didn't love Lou Sanders in this and i just can't be objective about it. Joe Thomas had some good moments i think.

S15: even though it's the second most recent series i can't remember much from it. nothing against the contestants but unfortunately i think something did not work and the comparison to S16 makes it look even more lacklustre in hindsight.
