1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 46 works, but if you parse the three drabble collections and a ficlet collection it jumps up to 96.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count? 142,888

3. What fandoms do you write for? Star Trek Strange New Worlds, The Librarians, Once Upon a Tme, Star Trek Voyager, The X-Files (none on ao3), Harry Potter, and King & Maxwell

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Where Flowers Bloom: The F*ck You Bouquet Once Upon a Time, SwanQueen, Rated T, 2.8k words Prom season is keeping Regina Mills, proprietor of Fairytale Flowers, busy, but when Emma Swan storms into her store one day with a unique request and a hidden connection, her day shifts from busy to odd to (dare she say it) hopeful.

revelation in the light of gray Star Trek Strange New Worlds, PikeUna, Rated G, 2.8k words Ensign Uhura stumbles into sickbay late one night and discovers something new about Captain Pike and Number One.

love is a ghost you can't control Star Trek Strange New Worlds, PikeUna, Rated T, 4.3k words One or two times Christopher Pike, uh, asked Una Chin-Riley about romance while they were both serving on the Antares. (This fic was inspired by and based on a scenario referenced in @curator-on-ao3's fic The Haze!)

Of Paperwork, Knots, and Warm Glowy Things, or, Roland Registers for Kindergarten Once Upon a Time, OutlawQueen, Rated G, 10.5k words Sometimes, Henry lets him sit on his bed with his old textbooks splayed open on his lap, the large tomes covering his legs as he runs his hands across the shiny paper, drinking in the bright pictures breaking up the dark columns of text. The older boy warned him he might not have hardbacked books like that until first grade, but Roland doesn't care. He's going to carry his own backpack and learn how to write and memorize all the names of all the bugs in this realm.

5. Do you respond to comments? I'm trying to! I'm very bad about doing it in a timely manner 🙈

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Oh, definitely the scorch. That piece is pure, distilled angst.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Of Paperwork, Knots, and Warm Glowy Things is pretty saccharine

8. Do you get hate on fics? Yeah, I attracted a few trolls with So Are We Alright Then?. Luckily they were no match for the almighty "delete comment" function. Most people are nice.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Eh? Kind of? Most of my stuff stays M or below.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I've done one: an ending unforseen, which is a crossover between Strange New Worlds and Voyager. I threw Christopher Pike into the Delta Quadrant on Voyager so he could have a chat with Kathryn Janeway.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yep!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? I can't pick a favorite, but I will say that Mulder/Scully, fanon Janeway/Chakotay, OutlawQueen, and Pike/Una have all been formative ships that I've enjoyed watching/reading/writing for over the years.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? First Day (Once Upon a Time OQ). 1 chapter published as a one shot that was received so well I turned it into a novel-length fic that was never published (19 chapters, 8 alternate universes visited, 40k words written with barely the surface scratched). I love it. It's my white whale. I open it up and marvel at the audacity and ambition of my younger self every now and then.

16. What are your writing strengths? Characterization, dialogue. Sometimes I concentrate hard and pull off some nifty minimalist prose.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Details and self doubt.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I'm not bilingual, so if I did, I would 100% run it by a native speaker if someone was available to spot check.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Either Voyager or X-Files, I can't remember which

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? I love writing the drabbles, they're little puzzleboxes of happy.

tagging: @enterprise-come-in and @meddow with apologies if y'all've been there done that

"Somewhere in the land of Nevada..."

[Residential Block (S02) - Norihiko Hibino]

DWMA Soldier A : (via radio) Commander, Sid. This is Delta.I'm picking up some high level kishin signals. There are some multiple threats to the heartless that are located in Las Vegas.

Sid Barrett : Good. It looks normal for a state that haves all this technology, a place that people like to gamble. So any threats from the witches or the heartless? Any objections?

DWMA Soldier B : (via radio) : Negative. But we don't know what the heartless are planning to do with the witches, but it's good that were ready to make our moves and...Hey I think I see one and it looks like a scorpion witch named Shaula and...hey that's not a witch, w-what is thing!? (Monster roaring through the radio) OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!

Sid Barrett : Delta! What happened!? Come in, Delta!

THE POISON SPEAR IS INFECTING US! OH MY GOD! WHAT THE F*CK ARE WE THINKING!?! COMMANDER SID! HELP! THIS THING'S GONNA IMPALE ME WITH IT'S POISON SPEAR!

Sid Barrett : Curtis! What happened!? Curtis! Did you get Shaula Gorgon!?

(soldiers screams in death)

Sid Barrett : Curtis! Eight Ball! Damn! The DWMA soldiers are worthless to go against...*BOOM!* A giant monster? [behind him is the Sand Scorpion from Sonic and the Secret Rings] Huh? (Looks both was, then to the viewers) He's right behind me, is there? (turns to the see monster)

(Monster shrieks)

Sid Barrett : Oh no! You were disguising yourself as a witch!? We...We thought you were Shaula Gorgon! You're not the one who are we looking for! That stupid Genie of the lamp set us up! Hello! Shinigami! This is bad! The witch you were looking for was actually a disguise form of a giant monster! And it's really, really, an emergency here! State of Nevada is being attacked by a giant scorpion monster with eyes on it's body!

Shinigami : (via radio) What seems to be the problem, Sid? What do you mean Nevada's being attacked by a giant monster?

Sid Barrett : Shinigami, I told you this before, sir! It's an emergency! The witch that we've been hunting is actually a disguise form of a giant creature and has been using people as puppets to destroy the Kusakabe Legacy and I finally realized what's going on! You were hiding something from us, didn't you! Why couldn't let us see the truth from us!?

Shinigami : Oh, really?! Then what's your excuse that I'm hiding something from you don't understand?

Sid Barrett :(via phone) Shinigami, or Lord Death! This is all fake news to think that Shaula Gorgon attacked your city in this stupid state! My lord, the hunting for the witches, We were set up by...Oh God! No! Stay back! Get away from me, you poison spear Freak! Someone stop That thing! Why can't our bullets work on it! Our power to the Kusakabe is... No! no! (screams in horror)

And now monster are here in Nevada to put the blame on us! I cannot believe this! This is really messed whether my conflicts for the witches have gone wrong! I've protected the Kuskabe's Legacy for 1000 years and this is what I get for being the protection of Mankind's safety?! *SLAM!* Curse you, Sega! You will pay for this! That is why I promise to destroy all heartless on earth!

"Meanwhile..."

[Iron Jungle - Jun Senoue]

Kimial Diehl : Ummm...Why did he have to pick South America?

Ashley : To find the nest of the spider demon Jorogumo, who was created from the heart of Arachne Gorgon, the leader of a Terrorist organization called Arachnophobia. Penny picked up some readings and have intel to inform that the jungle of South America is being colonized by the Heartless and they're using the rainforest as a base. I wond what that Jorogumo faker is planning a threat to destroy the Kusakabe legacy.

Kimial Diehl : Be my guess. Let's just say that she wanted to get her hands Asura Kusakabe's heartless, in which the original created a duplicate of himself. We have to prevent Shinra's man-made or the DWMA from going near that monster.

Ashley : Correct. This is a covert mission from the force, did anyone tell what HQ said.

*flashback*

Chief : Orders from the Majo Detective Force executive office. 42 hours ago, Intel informs us that our client, Baba from Dragon Ball, has received a request to destroy a castle deep within the Amazon River Basin, the castle is run by heartless called Neoshadows that are plotting to destroy the Kusakabe Legacy and will ruin Baba's repution in the Dragon Ball Franchise. Since Goku couldn't does not know about the Ohkuboverse, we can't let anyone tell the truth Shinigami's enemy is secretly a heartless monster in disguise and eventually realzing that he uses the heartless's attention to destroy the Kusakabe Legacy. I want you two to head into the Amazon Rive basin covertly and uncover the secrets of Arachnophobia's plotting diversion of destroying the Kusakabe Legacy. We don't know why Arachne's heartless wanted to destroy the Kusakabe's life and legacy and would start an impending doom. Their demanding that the DWMA turned over on the reincarnation of Shinra Kusakabe. So I want you to stop Arachne's heartless and save Baba's reputation to all of Witchkind.

Ashley : But what happens if we doom the mission?

Chief : They say that if the Heartless aren't meeting demands within the next 24 hourse, they'll start an attack on Nevada and will wipe the earth clean with heartless conquering the galaxy. So do your best and do not fail the mission. Failure is not an option. Understand, detectives

Ashley & Kimial : Yes, sir!

Chief : Good! Detectives are...GO! (the word "Go" is echoed)

(transits back to the jungle)

Ashley : So now you see, this is our chance to stop a major from these criminal activities. We must go into stealth and secret into killing one of Arachne's forces. So best be on guard and watch out for traps.

(various scenes of Ashley and Kimial passing the heartles by being stealthy and breaking the heartless's necks)

Ashley : Alright, it's working! This covert mission should be a piece of cake.

Kimial Diehl : I feel like this is some Metal Gear stuff if you know what I'm mean. I mean typically not a Kojima fan, but hey! Especially we're doing some stealthy stuff. We need disguises if we wanted to get into the building. We should mark into enemy headquarters. But first we need a costume.

Arachnephobia Member : Well, I sure hope do like some mentos to give me that sweet kiss for my lovely wi-! (gets captured by Ashley and Kimial behind a tree) Woah, woah! Who are you, kiddies!? Are you some kind of Solid Snake guy or something from Metal Gear--Woah, woah! What the f*ck are you doi-(gags) *NECK SNAP!*

(Ashley and Kimial comes out of the tree, now disguised as one of the members of Arachnophobia)

Ashley : Okay! We're in the comforting zone. We are now stealthy in disguise. You'll be the legs and I'll be the body.

Kimial Diehl : Okay...Loud and clear!

(cuts to a line of Arachnophobia members waiting to pass by two Darksides as Guards while to check their IDs)

Darkside : ID, please? Go on ahead. ID, please? Go right on ahead.

Kimial Diehl : [To Ashley] Get a load of this. Those guards are two Pureblood heartless called the Darkside and they must be the main security. Well guess, all the security members of Arachnophobia are heartless as well. So we need an ID to get pass by. Did the guy's ID?

Ashley : Check indeed. Once we enter Baba Yoga's castle covertly. We can finally discover what Jorogumo is planning. Once we enter inside the castle, we will definitely make an surprise attack and destroy the nest.

Kimial Diehl : How are we gonna do that?

Ashley : Simple. We burn the entire nest with fire and then the castle will be crumbling down to it's very foundation.

Kimial Diehl : Like burning it down to the ground? Are you sure that is a good idea? But burning down the castle would damage the entire ecosystem. But I gotta say it to ya, you know what's gonna if this whole castle will just implode any minute. Because I decided to put the implosives on the castle so that DWMA and the organization would suspect Demon Vibe's intentions.

Ashley : Uhh, what?

Kimial Diehl : I meant something to implode the bodies.

Ashley : You just had to put the Implosives to the castle, didn't you? And by the way, It's "Explosives", not "Implosives".

Kimial Diehl : Explosives. When I did forget that I put the Explosives for implosions, Oh yes, I did not forget something that I, a famous detective, will be using a TNT device from Super Mario World, Mario uses this device to destroy castles. It'll be a piece of cake!

Ashley : Alright. You have my word.

Darkside : ID Please. Go right on ahead. ID Please...Nice try, buddy! I know who you are and you're from a place called Jersey.

Random Guy : Hey, man. I haven't done nothing! And no, I'm not from a place called Lakewood New Jersey! I I'm from Arizona!

Darkside : ....Guys? Get me the Lizard. (the heartless lizard captures the man as screams in horror)

*BLOOD+FLESH TEARING*

Darkside : Next! You must be the new member to enter at Baba Yaga Castle.

Ashley : (mocks as a male) Sure thing, sir. I just came all the away from...Alexandria! Yep, I'm from Alexndanria!

Darkside : Alexandria? And what part of it is that in?

Ashley : (mocks as a male) Uhhh...I believe that Alexandria is a from place called Virginia.

Darkside : Virginia you say....?

Ashley : (mocks as a male) Yep! Good ol' Alexandria, Virginia!

Kimial Diehl : (mocks as a male) And is a good place to walk around in the Old Town district near the Potomac River of the border between DC and Maryland.

Darkside : Hmm...Seems fine to me. Okay, then. You can may enter the castle.

Ashley : (mocks as a male) Oh goodie! Thank you for kind, fellow hearts. [To Kimial, Normally] Heh! I told you that was superstious, even though this is still part of the missions, the DWMA forces have no rights for to be in their way of putting operation Baba Yaga would be a stinking success. Can you believe that?

Kimial Diehl : [To Ashley, Normally] Easy as pie! This is like taking candy from a baby and which is fine by me! Now then, let's head into Baba Yaga covertly.

Ashley : Understood! Gorgon Sisters...your days of reigning chaos will be far from over! Just wonder what's your deal with the heartless has no concern of mine. This time, you are going to pay for what you've done!

Adventures of The 144p Progenitor

youtube

Story #12

"What the f$ck is going on?!" Asked Mana.

Ka'eo and Stavros laughed.

"Mana, I thought you like all of your applications and games running on OpenGL," Ka'eo suggested.

"No, you b$tch, what did you do, Ka'el?" Mana groaned.

"I changed your display to show you what you really are," Ka'eo responded.

Mana's display was completely turned off, the screen black, showing a reflection of his own face.

Mana joked along in loud sarcasm, "Ohhh. Ohh, so I'm black now!!"

Stavros and Ka'eo laughed.

"I'm going to go kill myself, then! Bye!!" Mana continued in jest.

Stavros took a stab at it, "No, Mana, you were never white. You're like Uncle Ruckus from—"

"From Aqua Teen Hunger Force!" Ka'eo sarcastically added, though the joke went over Stavros's head.

Stavros replied, "No, he's from... The Boondocks. Remember that show? It was on Adult Swim."

"Yeah," Mana soothed.

"Yeah, you're like him. You think you're white, but you're actually black. On the inside and the outside," Stavros dryly said, giving way to satire.

"Yeah, so if you break your screen, you're breaking yourself. Okay?!" Ka'eo spat.

Mana responded, "Noooo. No."

"Yeah, Mana. You're a racist," Stavros joked.

"No. I just don't— f$cking like—" Mana tried, enunciation sharply, as though with harsh intent.

"Black people!" Stavros slapped, interrupting Mana.

"Ohhh, look at these bird f$ckers," Peter said, walking back onto the Bridge.

Mana squealed aaaauuaaooogh!! "You like it!"

Stavros chuckled while Ka'eo sat there, untouched by the humor.

"And guess who the f$ck contacted me while I was gone?" Peter asked.

Mana and Stavros asked, "Who?"

"F$ckin' Max the bird beak," Peter answered them, laughing.

"Ohhh, not that f$ck!" Mana moaned out jokingly.

Stavros jabbed stoically, "Yeah, f$ck that guy. What the f$ck has he been doing?"

Ka'eo remained silent.

Mana entertained, "Yeah!! Did he get his bird— ears— beak fixed?!"

Peter laughed, confused at Mana, "What? He's been doing the same mining sh$t he was doing before."

Mana inquired, "Isn't he still technically... doing bee-keeping... things?"

"No, he had to move on from that," Ka'eo said. He sounded like he took on a feeling of defeat.

"Why?" Mana asked.

Stavros answered sarcastically, "Do you see where the f$ck we are?!"

Peter and Ka'eo laughed.

Mana resumed, "Yeah, no, but I'm asking— what is he doing if he's not bee-keeping anymore?"

"He f$cks his cousin," Ka'eo answered.

Everyone laughed.

"No. He's— doing some kind of business thing again. But this time, it involves transferring items between stations and freighter ships or something," Peter concluded. "Other than that, he's mining at some colony that's... way toward another solar system."

"Yeah," Mana said.

"What's he doing way over there?" Asked Stavros. "Isn't he supposed to be back on Earth complaining about how everything makes sounds everywhere he goes?"

"Nobody cares, anymore," Mana answered mockingly. "We're dying. We're dying! ... WE'RE DYING! AAAAaaAH!!"

Peter and Stavros broke into laughter again while Ka'eo sat there snorting a laugh. Ka'eo listened, pondering everything that was said. Ka'eo couldn't help but process the sound Mana made, bursting into his own laughter.

The AI OH (overhead) system initiated: Attention crew, we have met destination at a twenty-five minute delay. The H&G Diamond Drilling Corp. is now viewable from the cockpit and starboard side of ship. Communications channel is open to space station frequencies. Receiving transmission from H&G astroflight control tower one-three-sierra-bravo-romeo-five, four-five-eight-two-three-nine-one-eight, delta. Do you accept the transmission.

Mana clapped his hands like a seal and went retarded for a few seconds, then sat himself back in his chair, and forward again, clasping his hands together. Peter was keeping in his excitement, but it was very obvious. Stavros was doing the same, less noticeably. And Ka'eo was chuckling from the belly, feeling the warmth and joy of a brand new experience.

Ka'eo went up to a comms mic and said, "Yeh."

They all snickered and laughed.

The message transmitted: This is Commander Diego of the H&G Diamond Drilling Corp., and we welcome you into our space. However, we request your ship name, government-affiliation if any, ship number, and your access codes to accept landing at our starport. You will bring your ship closer to the starport at fifty meters where you will park it. Then, you will stay where you are until you transmit the information we asked for to us. Are we clear?

"Yeah," Ka'eo said. He turned to Peter and said, "Give me the f$cking— or you know what, get the f$cking info sheet that I typed up and read it out to him—"

Peter jested, "Give me the CD, or the floppy, or whatever the f$ck... it is!... ?"

"Why are they asking for all this information now?" Asked Stavros.

Mana answered, "Because it's not government— it's a corporation."

"Oh. Yeah, that makes sense," Stavros said sarcastically. "The government just lets us fly in while a corporation is asking for everything down to our social security numbers we were given at birth. How about we just give them control of the whole ship?"

Mana chortled then turned to Ka'eo, "Ka'el, or Peter, hurry up and give them that sh$t already."

"Relaaaax—" Ka'eo breathed.

Mana returned, "NoooOOOH!! Noh!"

Peter snorted and Stavros giggled.

"The ship is lining up at fifty meters," Ka'eo said. Then he corrected himself, "Wait. Nina, line our ship up at fifty meters to the starport."

Nina, with her calm, sophisticated, AI-voice announced: Commencing ship movement. Engaging low-propulsion thrusters, flying to the starport at eighty-nine knots, slowing gradually to a halt.

"Thanks, Nina," Ka'eo said. "Remember the old ChatGPT days?"

Nina said nothing, and neither did anyone else for some time.

"I forgot about that," Peter said.

Ka'eo suggested, "She'll never forget, man."

"Uhh, okay? So, are you guys going to read out all the f$cking sh$t now or what?" Mana complained.

Ka'eo scolded jokingly, "Can you just f$cking wait?!"

"No-hoh-hohh," Mana replied, half laughing. Peter and Stavros laughed, as well.

Peter mimicked, "Can you just f$cking wait?!"

"I'll read it. Here. Uhh. Radio transmit. Commander Diego of the H&G Diamond Drilling Corp., thank you for having us. We have the information here as requested—" Ka'eo began, interrupted by a transmission received.

Diego commanded, "Go ahead."

Peter looked at Ka'eo and went aht!

"Can you just f$cking wait?!" Ka'eo joked again, whispering toward his crew mates. They all snickered. He continued, "Radio transmit. Commander, uhh, here. We are The 144p Progenitor, USF governed ship, ship number is zero-zero-zero, zero, four zeroes total, nine-one-three-four, seven-two-seven. Access codes are being sent to you," Ka'eo issued, pausing and typing something on the touch screen, then hitting submit. He resumed, "Now... ? And, you should be receiving them—"

Diego transmitted: Yeah, we got the access codes. Prepare to dock, over... *squelch* ... we remind you to set your ship's control to override, and we will shield access control from here. Enjoy the ride in, over and out.

"Why doesn't he shut— the f$ck— uuuuUUUP?!" Ka'eo joked loudly, overexcited from the event. Mana and Stavros broke into a fit of laughter.

Peter snickered lightly and supported, "Yeah! He should just keep his f$cking God d$mned mouth SHUT!" They laughed together.

The ship refused to move before they disengaged manual control.

"Peter, you remember how?—" Ka'eo asked him.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it," he said, walking up to the cockpit control panels, fidgeting with some toggles and pressing the touch screen. "We're in business, now."

youtube

The ship's engines disengaged, and then it began to move as though being pulled by an invisible force. Suddenly drones could be seen exiting the mining company's drone facility, twenty of them. They flew right up to the ship's exterior a mere few meters away from it and began conducting inaudible scans, as the ship slowly moved in to dock with the spaceport. The spaceport was gigantic, and the asteroid even bigger than the entire company's facility by about ten times.

"OHH!! Do you see that?! It looks like a bunch of sperm just ejaculated on our ship!" Peter said.

"Yeeeaaah. That's what I wanted! Aaaah! No, seriously, what the f$ck are those?" Mana jested, inquiring about the drone activities.

Peter suggested, "I don't know, but maybe they're just scanning the ship for anything... bad, I don't know." He thought to himself maybe they were going to begin salvaging parts of the ship at their own freewill, hoping they wouldn't.

Mana exhaled slowly, kind of in a gulp. Peter watched him, smiling smugly.

Stavros chimed in, pulling sarcasm out again, "So, uhhh, are there actually people there this time? Or is this going to be one of those... oh, I forgot to tell you, I live in another plane of existence and that's how I'm communicating to you. Everyone at this station died and now you're trapped here!"

Peter laughed haughtily while Mana giggled. Ka'eo eyeballed the drones, waiting for them to leave.

"And the plane of existence he's contacting us from is actually the afterlife," Ka'eo added. "His transmission was pre-recorded like the Cinco Sleep Party Mask or whatever it was called."

Stavros cracked up while Mana and Peter hissed their laughs.

Peter laughed, remembering, "Oh yeah!!"

Ka'eo kept on jokingly, "Thanks for coming! Yeah! I agree! I agree! Thanks for coming!"

Stavros and Peter cracked up.

Mana reassured, "Nooo. Don't you see the ships, Stavro?"

"Yeah, if you look over here, Stavro, you can see hundreds of other ships already docked here. Look at all that!" Peter suggested.

"Yes, I see it," Stavros said, slightly frowning. He lightened up. "This is actually really cool and scary at the same time."

Nina announced: We are approaching the stardock platform and will touch down in fifteen seconds.

Nina began counting backwards from fifteen.

"Almost there, guys, you ready?" Ka'eo asked.

Mana was already oversaturated from all the waiting. "Yeah, I'm ready, Ka'el. I just want to take a walk outside of the ship already. Getting cooped up in here."

"Yeah. Me too, actually," Stavro said.

"Dude, look at that!" Ka'eo said, pointing out the window at all the mining vessels firing lasers at the asteroid's hard rock material, watching pieces fly out in low gravity and disperse into nothingness when they touched the force fields covering the mining zones. The lasers were long, colorful beams, some of them orange, some of them green. A few of them were fast striking and very inconstant, purple in color, reminiscent of lightning. Welders, miners, engineers, some scientists, security personnel, and few military personnel were traveling along the catwalks and mining platforms going from one facility to the next.

"Yeah, that's a lot of people. Okay. I like this more, now. No more tentacle rape monsters that enter my nightmares!" Stavros smoothed out.

Ka'eo and Peter were both looking out the window together while Mana stayed seated, navigating his chair to the starboard side of the bridge.

The ship locked in to the dock very smoothly and comfortably, almost completely unnoticeable.

Nina said: Congratulations, USF crew members of the 144p Progenitor! We have successfully docked with H&G's starport. Your information was successfully verified. Objectives reminder, explore the facilities and gather intel from the existing military officers, and update intel database by visiting H&G's headquarters and the strew of offices available to your mission parameters, soak in the data given from the locals, attend the meetings that are scheduled in your electronic personal devices on time, and conduct mining operations or barter at the wholesale markets to successfully resupply the 144p Progenitor's facilities and generators. Please do take care on your journey. Good luck!

"You guys get all that?" Ka'eo asked everyone, nonchalantly.

Mana answered, "No."

"Uhh, can we have her repeat herself and the whole message?" Stavros asked. "I wasn't listening."

"No," Ka'eo said. "You have to memorize everything she says from the get go."

"Yeah, and if you don't, you have to go back to MacKalla," Peter joked, forcing out a chuckle.

"Yeah, and if you ask her to repeat herself, she'll eject you into outer space with the force of nine-thousand nine-hundred ninety-nine PSI," Ka'eo resumed.

Stavros laughed incredulously. Mana snickered.

Peter, getting ahead of himself, said, "Yeah! So. Now, we actually have more things we can do. First thing I think we should do is head down to the nearest pub and pick us up something celebratory. How you guys feel about picking up some space ale?"

"I don't believe it, like. I don't know. I can't believe my eyes," Mana said, staring blankly at his view of the whole facility. He tried to calm his excitement with a sense of cynicism. "My eyes are bleeding!! They're bleeding!!"

Ka'eo roared an AAAAAAOOO!! Everyone broke into laughter. He resumed, wondering, "What if the space station suddenly went into full alert and a self-destruct sequence started? And we couldn't move the ship at all? And we tried—"

"Yeah, and when we try to leave, they just say, no, you're not f$cking going anywhere. You're trapped here with us," Peter supported jokingly.

"Nooo," Mana said, shaking his head.

Stavros and Peter went into a fit of cackling with Ka'eo snorting at Mana's response.

Stavros fueled, "Mana's just looking— hahaha! He's just looking at the timer countdown for the space station blowing up, and he's just sitting there like, no."

"No. This is a... NON— E-VENT!" Peter shouted dramatically.

Stavros cracked up some more while Mana tried to give way to laughter.

Ka'eo tried to chip in, "And then when we try to move the ship—"

"Noohh! No more! Noh!" Mana dramatized.

"I would just be like... f$ck. F$$$$$$CK!" Ka'eo concluded. "And F$CK... MacKalla T-Rover Space Station. BRRRSSCCHK!!"

Mana went aaaAAAaaaAAAeehhll!!

"Yeah!! Hahaha!!" Peter and Stavros supported. Everyone cackled.

"And you just see Mana, no-clipping into space, screaming, WWWAAAAaaahhll!!" Stavros added, laughing.

Peter couldn't stop laughing, it was so bad that he couldn't breathe. "Oh my— ahahah!! I can't— I can't breathe!"

Mana topped it off with AAAAAAHHH!!

Everyone belly laughed together.

"We're gods! Surely there's something we can do," Mariza exclaimed, a half-crazed desperation in her eyes as she followed Samira over the moonlit expanse of the sea.

"Even if we could, Mariza, there is no purpose in wasting so much power and energy for such a selfish and unnecessary cause," Samira said, waving their hand dismissively.

Mariza's expression fell, the fins at the sides of her face drooping from discouragement. "But... I... I can't just- do nothing! She's the only one who can help me remember who I am!"

Samira turned, casting a sharp gaze to the newly-ascended sea goddess. "Who you were," they corrected. "It's best you just move on from your mortal life. You're a god now, and soon enough, all the people and places from your past will fade into obscurity, as all mortal things do after a century or so."

"I was turned into a god, couldn't Delta become one too?" Mariza asked. "Then she would be immortal, right?"

"You'd have to convince one of the current gods to pass their power to her, and good luck with that," Samira scoffed. "Besides, Mariza, you need to understand, you'd just create the same cycle of problems by doing that. Delta would lose her mortal memories, and then you'd try to find a way for her to remember them. Suddenly Delta misses her whole crew and begs and pleads for them to become immortal too! Just give it up, Mariza. Your place in the world has changed, and it's high time for you to start taking responsibility as goddess of the sea. You have a whole group of followers waiting for you to answer their prayers, and that's far more important than some pitiful mortals you feel attraction to."

"But I-"

"Honestly, Mariza, focus on your duties. Before you know it, Delta and her whole crew will be gone, and you'll never have to think of them again. Pirating is a dangerous job, any number of things could rid them from the world. Then we can all just move on, like they never existed in the first place. Once you've lived a few more centuries, you'll learn to stop valuing individual mortals so much. Their lives are simply insignificant," Samira said with a smile, as if the words were supposed to be reassuring.

The words sunk into Mariza's brain like molasses into a sponge, and though she wanted to believe they were wrong, she knew there was an ounce of truth to them. Delta did live a very dangerous life, one that wouldn't last even a fraction of Mariza's existence. That thought was terrifying.

Her knees slowly came to meet the surface of the water, which wrapped around her in a welcoming embrace. Small fish swam up to greet her eagerly, unaware of the sorrow flooding her mind. One of them began to nibble at her fingertips, causing her to snap out of her trance. She dove into the water and propelled herself away from the moon god. She had a ship to catch.

Delta's crew, for the most part, was fast asleep when Mariza caught up to them. None of them noticed when she slipped onboard and headed directly for the captain's cabin. The only evidence of her presence were the wet footprints that followed her along the deck. Even the captain herself was asleep, happily unaware of the sea goddess entering her room.

"Delta." Mariza stepped over to the bed, watching the pirate's sleeping figure for a moment before reaching out and jostling her shoulder. "Delta!"

"Hmm?" The captain hummed, turning over in her sleep to face the wall.

Mariza scowled. "For f^ck's sake," she grumbled, waving her hand and summoning a small orb of water to splash over Delta's head.

It seemed to do the trick, though just barely. Delta woke up in a daze, looking around to try and find the source of the water. She let out a scream of surprise when she saw Mariza standing at her side, arms crossed.

"Sh!t, Mari, you scared me. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The captain sat up and rubbed at her eyes.

"I need to talk to you," Mariza said, her anger fading into concern.

Despite her drowsiness, Delta was not oblivious to the mood change. She tossed the blankets aside and stood, placing a hand on Mariza's arm. "Is everything okay?"

"I... I'm scared," Mariza admitted, looking away. "Samira wants me to stop worrying about you, and to move on, but..." She bit her lip, hesitant to speak the words that continued to plague her mind. How am I supposed to forget about someone who means so much to me? "Delta, I want you to promise me something." Mariza steeled herself, meeting Delta's worried gaze.

"Of course. Anything," Delta said, all too eager to support her beloved.

"I need you to stop pirating. In fact, stop sailing altogether. Retire and live a peaceful life, I dunno, baking or something."

"Wh-what?" The request caught Delta completely off guard. "Did you get drunk again?"

"No! Delta, I'm being dead serious," the goddess exclaimed, gripping Delta's shoulders. "It's too dangerous. You have to stop!"

"Mariza, I can't just stop. This is my life!" Delta argued, pulling Mariza's hands from her shoulders. "I've been doing this for years - my whole crew has been doing this for years!" She shouted incredulously.

"I don't want to lose you," Mariza cried. "I know this is your life, but- please, Delta! It's not safe."

Delta fell quiet, and stepped away for a moment. She turned and walked behind her desk, gazing out at the sea through her window. "What you're asking is... It's impossible, Mari. I can't abandon my crew, and I can't ask them to abandon this life as well." She sighed and turned back around to face the goddess. "I'm sorry."

The ship creaked under the heavy silence that followed. Mariza waited with bated breath for the answer she wanted to hear. Even if it wasn't a solid yes, she'd be happier to compromise than get nothing at all.

"I suppose I could try," Delta would say, "For just a few years." Hell, even just an, "I promise to stop pirating and sail as safely as possible from now on," would be acceptable. But after a few minutes passed, Mariza realized she wasn't going to get those answers. Delta had made her final decision, and it was the one that completely disregarded Mariza's concern for her safety.

"Fine," Mariza said, her heart aching in her chest. "Fine! Do whatever the hell you want! I'd sacrifice my godhood to be with you if I had the ability, but you won't even make an effort to be safe for me! Well, if a dangerous life is the one you want, I'll give it to you," she hissed. "Sail as much as you damn please, but know that everytime your ship leaves the harbor, every day you decide to stray further from shore, the wrath of the entire sea will be upon you! Waves will beat on your hull, and rain will forever fall over your ship!" Her eyes glowed viciously in the darkness as she uttered her curse. "Food will be scarce and fish will be few! Nobody will dare come near your ship for the eels and sharks that will circle it."

With the final words spoken, Mariza threw open the door to the cabin and stalked away, fuming. The waves crashed against the sides of the ship, eager to wrap her in their presence once more.

(This is my first time posting on Tumblr, please tell me if I've done something wrong TvT)

Decided to write a small piece based off of the incredible Ocean Idiots universe ^^

Delta belongs to @the-trashiest-pada

Mariza belongs to @shandzii

Those two and @melodyofthevoid are the creators of the Ocean Idiots universe :)

hawks for the character meme!

Ah, yes, Hawks! Literal fly boy...

🦅Favorite thing about them: There's so much I like about Hawks. He's a fun character to me overall. However, I have to say that his voice... omg, I just can't! It's just so soothing! Like, damn it, man! His VAs (I watch both sub and dub) know what they're doing. (Zeno, I applaud you for voicing both Hawks and the drunk Shie Hassaikai dude. It's funny knowing they share a voice actor.)

🦅Least favorite thing about them: The f*ck going on with his eyebrows?! I giggle every time I pay attention to them. 🤣

🦅Favorite line: "There’s no need for you to be confined to the ground." - I know he said this in season 5, which episode is lost to me right now.

"Come on, guys. Who wants to hear this canned crap? Stain, maybe?" - S4 EP24

🦅BrOTP: I really like the whole him and Miruko being best friends thing. Both are outspoken, badass characters who also happen to be animal themed heroes. I like to imagine Miruko as the big sis (she is older by like 4 years, I think) who gets on Hawks' nerves and he just teases her about how he's taller.

Also, him and Tokoyami. I didn't realize I needed their interactions until now. It's just so wholesome how they are? Big bro Hawks?! Can I get a "YESSSS"?!

🦅OTP: Okay, I'll be honest... I have a weakness for him with Dabi, which is weird because I have yet to read any fics centered around them or even wrote my own. It's such a chaotic ship, but I like it?

🦅nOTP: I can't really get behind the Endeavor x Hawks ship.

🦅Random headcanon: He likes fried chicken, Present Mic likes fried chicken. I'm sure they have crossed paths at least once at some restaurant.

Also, I headcanon he sleeps on his stomach or his side to avoid his wings when he's in a bed. However, whenever he's perched somewhere and he's exhausted enough, he'll just sleep like that.

🦅Unpopular opinion: His eye markings could make for some killer eyeliner look.

🦅Song I associate with them: Okay, as I said with Midoriya and Todoroki, I do be listening to those anime themed songs and right now, I vibe with 'Flocking' by Gameboyjones featuring Kazuo. Also DizzyEight & Delta Deez's 'HAWKS'.

🦅Favorite picture of them: I CANNOT CHOOSE ONE!

I know there's a lot going on in the world right now, but please consider buying something off my mom's COVID supply wishlist for the new school year 🥺🙏

My mom is an elementary (K-5) music teacher in Houston, TX. As you know, teachers in Texas are poorly paid. And this year, her school district is not providing any cleaning supplies to the teachers, so she and her teaching partner are having to fund all of this their selves. She alone has been going through one 8-10oz bottle of hand sanitizer a week. My mom and her partner are the only two music teachers for the entire school, so together they see approximately 500 students every day.

This year, of course, the Delta Variant is widespread. But basically, the state, the district, and her school are all just saying "f*ck it, we're just going to pretend this is a totally normal school year, everything is fine 🌞🌺🥰🌼 what do you even need soap for?"

The teachers have literally everything you can think of working against them right now:

Digital or online learning is not an option; all students are back to in-person learning.

This also means there is minimal spacing, because they have full classes.

None of the students are old enough to be vaccinated.

The state of Texas also banned schools from requiring masks for students or teachers.

Her district is also not requiring students or teachers to quarantine if they get test positive for COVID-19 or had a close contact with someone who did.

Her school is also not notifying music, art, or PE teachers if they had an infected student in their class. They are only notifying the main classroom teachers.

Her wishlist is pretty modest right now. It just has cleaning supplies, spacing markers, and she also threw in some underwear for the school nurse (because the nurse has to buy that stuff herself too, and they always need more).

Assumption

Apparently, the new Cammy is wearing pants and the internet is having a meltdown about it. I find this sh*t hilarious because that's just one costume. You're a f*cking idiot if you think Capcom won't include the classic looks for their core characters. Like, she literally had two costumes in which she’s wearing pants in SFIV and f*cking four more in SFV! More than that, Capcom will give you a variety to choose from. She had f*cking sixteen costumes in SFV, alone. Are you kidding me? Every iteration of Street Fighter tweaks the costumes and most of them are nice, pants or not. I’m actually a Cammy main. When she first released, i was nine years old and captivated by the blonde with the butt cheeks. I adore that viridian ass floss but I'm not out here having a tantrum that it’s “not” in the game. Because it is. It definitely is. Capcom isn’t dumb enough not to put it in the game. Besides that, have you seen the leaked costumes? They’re dope!

How the f*ck can you look at that Cammy and be upset? She’s just rocking a casual outfit. Ma left the gym in her active attire and decided to Hooligan Combo a motherf*cker on her way home. The leotard is her Delta Red uniform. It makes sense that she doesn’t wear the thing all the time, right? Seriously, almost all of these new costumes make sense in terms of street combat. Gis, tights, yoga pants, sports bras, sweats; This attire is fighter attire. This is the sh*t people in MMA, in boxing, in Judo, karate, and Jujitsu, wear to scrap. Have you ever seen a boxer come to the ring? Have you ever seen a proper Muay Thai donnybrook? The costumes in Street Fighter VI make sense from a grounded, realistic, fighting perspective. Cammy isn’t going to be running around in a lime green leotard all the time, especially now that Shadaloo has been crushed for good. Or, at least, in SFVI vanilla. Who knows where this game falls in the timeline, right? Bison might come back from the dead. Again.

I know the internet isn't a real place and that there is far more important sh*t going on in the world but this nonsense is just too dumb for me to accept. Like, stop it. Just, stop it. Everyone can still be horny for Cammy's butt in that sling thing. We all have been since 1993. Capcom ain't f*cking that up. And as if they felt i would be writing this rant, there is actual leaked footage of Cammy in her classic costume, performing Cross Stinger Assault on another Cammy, rocking the new look. Check that out, Capcom did add the leotard after all! As an alternate costume. Because WHY THE F*CK WOULDN’T THEY?? Cammy White is wildly popular because of that win pose. You know what I'm talking about. Most kids nowadays don’t know that Cammy was dog sh*t when she first released. Over time, she got much better as a character but, in the beginning? She was basically just eye candy. Sex appeal. The butt to Chun-Li’s thighs. Cammy is so much more than that now but, just like Guile’s tank top and camo pants, Ryu’s tattered gi, Vega’s tattoos and mask, or Chun’s cheongsam, her leotard will never go away. Any appearance she makes, them ass cheeks will be out in one form or another. That ass is iconic and Capcom knows it.
