[anomalocarids]

miriam wandersong for the ask game? :o

favorite thing about them : she cares SO MUCH about the world and about people and is struggling very hard to express that. she is a very lonely person but despite that she cares enough to try and save the world all by herself.

least favorite thing about them : that she didn't actually get to sleep at the start of act 5. let her have a nap.

favorite line : the conversation at the start of act 7. the whole thing.

brOTP : kiwi! very obvious but very good.

OTP : i don't really have one? i hc her as aro, personally.

nOTP : don't particularly have one of these either! i haven't seen any ships i really dislike. maybe with peter.

random headcanon : i think she and kiwi have friendship bracelets. they make them together postgame, hers is green and kiwi's is blue :]

unpopular opinion : once again i don't really have one?

song i associate with them : i think i've said this before but "wireframe or render" by louie zong. not particularly sure why.

favorite picture of them : oh this is impossible to choose. here's a couple i enjoy

[snaxpo]

Wiggle!

that’s two for wiggle now! wrow

technically this is more of a ship hc but you know how almost nobody knows who dolly parton’s husband is or what he looks like without looking him up bc whenever they go out together all she usually has to do is take off her wig and dress down a little? that’s wiggle and gramble. she just takes off the feather boa and sunglasses and nobody is any the wiser.

[aquilamage]

sorry about spam liking your bug fables tag having an epic bugs on the brain moment 😵‍💫 really like your writing and interpretations of the characters!! latest one makes me :]

oh it's no problem at all! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying, that's wonderful to hear <3

[maroisedot]

When I say I RAN to my drawing tablet when I saw this AU. Like hello??? Literally two of my favourite things ever in one??? Thank you SO MUCH for creating this, the joy this brings me is undescribable.

I didn´t know people actually knew wandersong, I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!!

AU created by @boobchuy

I´m also tagging @dragondawdles bc I saw you talk about it & love all the headcanons

(((I hope I´m not annoying, sorry, I´m just SO EXCITED)))

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

Do you know of any other fics like "Mind meld part delux"

Well, first, thank you for not insulting me or being anonymous. I've had some bad experiences with that.

Second, it depends on what you mean by "like" Mind Meld Part Deux. If you mean angsty rottmnt Donnie-focused fics, I know a few good ones:

I. Angelo by PrincessFreak (Definitely the closest to Mind Meld I can think of in terms of Donnie-betraying-his-brothers, but not for you if you don't like smut, tcest, and noncon).

2. A Scientific Blemish by CharmyWizard, eternalglitch, jadethestone, tiramisu_art (Donnie gets captured by the writers' version of 2018 Bishop and has to escape; writing and comic blend)

3. Sad Machine by dragondawdles (Donnie "dies" and deals with the fallout of having to transfer his consciousness of a robot)

4. Got Your Back by FoxGlade (Focuses on Donnie dealing with the whole "soft-shell" issue and how it amounts to a disability in his world)

5. The Kids Are (Almost) Alright by LynxCore (A hunted Draxum shows up at the Lair and Donnie has trouble forgiving him)

6. pathetic by cxlesstial (A mental-health fic dealing with self-harm and other serious issues; very good, but also full of trigger warnings)

7. superfight by persepoline (Donnie gets in a fight with Leo that has big repercussions for them both)

8. lockdown by guide_to_the_galaxy for hotmuffincrumbs (Donnie's mind basically starts to disintegrate; now with a sequel)

And this is less likely, but if you are asking about post mind-alteration fics in general (these are all TMNT 2012, btw):

1. the way back home by taizi (post Clash of the Mutanimals, Raph and Mikey)

2. Devil took your hand by moogsthewriter, taizi - (Foot Mikey AU)

3. And after the bombs subside by moogsthewriter (Clash of the Mutanimals AU, Raph and Mikey)

4. jade green eyes turned white by subtlyfailing (Clash of the Mutanimals AU where it took Raph a lot longer to get out from Shredder's control)

5. Desolation by goodstoryfan (Post-Season 2 inspired by City Fall with a brainwashed Leo, now a series)

6. The Devil In I by Kareh (Another post-season 2 AU with City Fall elelemtsn)

And those are the ones that come to mind most quickly.

If this isn't what you were asking about, please feel free to message me again!

Been seeing a bunch of ‘Ghost Marcy’ AUs floating around, so I wanted to toss my hat into the ring.

Also a rough doodle based off of @dragondawdles​ ‘s ‘Spirit Tracks’ AU specifically, since Marcy possessing a Frobo body popped this idea into my head.

BorkMork’s Amphibia Fanfiction Recommendations

There are so many absolutely fantastic fics out there, so these will be generalized. They could be character studies, one-shots, anything that was able to pull in my interest and leave me an absolute mess.

I won’t be tagging the authors here because I don’t want to bother them, but if any of you do know them feel free to tell them that their creativity and works are lovely, and that they have made my day ever brighter.

Anyways, let us begin.

Any Work by MayDayGirl_Save_Our_Ships

Okay so I was part of the Amphibia fandom back when it first aired. And back then there weren’t that many fics even though I was craving to see more focus on the Plantar Family and how much they mean to Anne, and overall character studies. So when I read Two Truths and a Lie, the characterization pulled me and it still aged well regardless of the new info we got about these characters today.

Years later and I am pleasantly surprised to see that the characterization once again swings and succeeds with the other fics MayDay has created. I laughed, I yelled, I felt numerous feelings for the Plantar family, and I would highly recommend their content.

bloom by dragondawdles

I haven’t been here when I saw the boom in Newtopia fics, but I had a massive craving to see Marcy fics when she first arrived in the city. Dragondawdles pulled me into this fic immediately with their prose, the characterization of Marcy and Lady Olivia, and also the really cute doodle that accompanied the story itself.

It gave me everything I wanted, and to see Marcy be curious over Lady Olivia made me ponder even more about how they acted toward each other. Overall, a cute one-shot!

Any Work by DeeTheTeaDrinkingDragon

There is something gentle about the tiniest touches, of well-done prose and filling in the potential blanks. I first read Constellations when I scoured around for some Marcanne content, and this one was the softest cuddling fic I had ever witnessed with my eyes.

It was vivid, very visually stimulating in its wholesome atmosphere, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Also, Dee’s Stay was able to check off everything I speculated for Marcanne in Season Three so me and my friend were yelling loudly over that. Would recommend them!

Any Work by feebop

I love character studies. I love authors who can pull me into the narrative through dialogue and description. Put it all together and you get feebop’s Starlit Review and Painted Yellow Lines.

Honestly, I reread them just because I feel so inspired by the attention to detail and the prose itself, they’re that good. And being able to see character studies between Marcy and Sasha always left me satisfied. I cannot recommend their stuff enough!

Any Work by mira_blue

That’s right, more character studies! Mira_blue has a few fics already but my absolute favorites would be her stuff on Marcy and Sasha, because those left me to speculate about those two more than anything, and it’s always lovely to see people’s takes while keeping the people in-character.

This Is Home is dear, because damn you can definitely get me emotionally wrecked in under 1,500 words and this is a great example.

Dance With Me by Hugh Jidiot

Long fics here we go. It took a bit to get me into Dance With Me, but when I finally had to time to read it I was absolutely pulled into Marcy and Anne being absolute disasters while trying to get ready for a massive social event. There are a lot of laughs, lots of events being filled in-between, and some study into Marcy’s thought process when it comes to socializing with people.

Few key comments on the fic itself. It took a while to get used to the newt ocs but they became absolutely enjoyable as things went on, and my favorite would be Fiona, just saying.

Also the practice dance scene was the hardest I’ve laughed in 2021 so thank you, Hugh, for this beautiful piece.

Any Work by Mighty_Ant

Fill-in-the-blank fics are always fun, but man Mighty_Ant knows how to write these so well, especially when it comes to what is basically the physical representation of emotional as heck music.

Reading the fics always flowed well to me when I narrated to myself, and you could tell the person is a professional writer with the amount of techniques used to emotionally fuck me up, especially Sasha’s story.

Thank you, Mighty_Ant, and I can’t wait for your Marcy fic!

Is She Really Your Daughter? by red_lensed_glasses

Do you ever just want to read a fic about Anne’s parents and their perspective of Marcy? And then cry? For hours? This fic is for you.

It’s such a really interesting take when it comes to how the Boonchuys perceive Marcy, and the ending got me very, and I mean very, upset for really good reasons. This fic is a recommendation, I love it!

Anne 2.0 by mandaree1

I always wondered if Anne ever got a scar from, y’know, breaking her arm, so this was a delight to read when it came to Marcy’s POV of the situation. You get Marcy being an analytical nerd in her writing style — in an intriguing second-person, no less — and it’s just really good!

Heron by TheDinosaurNerd

I stumbled upon this fic while I was looking for some Grime and Sasha one-shots, and I really liked the dialogue found in this! Very succinct, to-the-point, but in said succinctness you are able to form a really well-done fill-in-the-blanks story.

not delivered. by camomile_t

God. This is one of the big ole’ fics in this fandom that is keeping me alive throughout the hiatus, I love text fics when done well, especially when they utilize the features and limitations to basically do storytelling, and this is one of those examples. Cause holy shit.

This fic takes any theories about what could happen in Season Three and goes the limit. You get Marcanne, you get a well-done mix of comedy and angst, you get Sasha having her redemption, you get the Plantars/Boonchuys being a supportive family, and a lot more!

I binged the hell out of this and kept up with each update with much eager anticipation. You have no clue, my friend and I keep speculating and theorizing in DMs over this fic. It is so good.

There Will Be No Dancing by PartlyCloudySkies

I have read this fic so many times. Ten? Twenty? I don’t know, but I keep coming back to this just because of how well-written it is. When I tell you that this fic plays out like a legitimate Amphibia episode, I absolutely mean it.

This fic is an Amphibia episode from some alternate universe and is now given to us on a silver platter.

And for what????? We were given to this free and we’re supposed to take it with no complaints?????? Understandable, have a good day. I can’t.

You get amazing pacing, a writing style that fits Anne’s perspective to a T, dialogue and comedy logic that hits what Amphibia is all about, and you also get two girls being gay in Newtopia. What’s not to love?

Go read it. Do it. Put a comment. I don’t know what you do, but just acknowledge the fact that this fic has ruined the shit out of me and now I cannot recover, ever.

meta knight for the ask game as well!

favorite thing about them : this guy is so funny to me. stoic serious knight with a secret sweet tooth who does cool poses with his cape. he's fought the greatest warrior in the galaxy. he's lost to kirby about a million times. he's too cool to get mind controlled (sometimes). he just wants to get into a fight. i love him.

least favorite thing about them : sir please get down from that ledge and come talk to people.

favorite line : "…You are all about to perish. Do as you please. (…I'm sorry.)" from revenge of meta knight. :(....

brOTP : all of the meta knights but ESPECIALLY sailor dee.

OTP : don't really have one!

nOTP : susie.

random headcanon : i think he drinks SO much coffee but he can't drink black coffee. he has to put a ton of sugar in.

unpopular opinion : don't know!

song i associate with them : don't have one (yet) but i will say that his forgotten land theme is SO good.

favorite picture of them : my pfp is also a fave but waugh this official art...
