space au greatly enjoying writing impdubs divorce arc this was completely unplanned i just realized i was writing impulse a bit weird and then was like well okay let's make a Reason for him being weird

---

Impulse pats his shoulder half-sympathetically, then says, “Shirt.” Skizz rolls his eyes and takes his shirt off with no small amount of struggle, revealing the spot where the base of his wings are held in place by a sleeve of cloth wrapped around his entire torso, plates of steel grafted under skin, artificial nerve receptors going through the fabric and, Impulse knows, connecting to Skizz’s real nerve endings. “Like what you see?”

Now it’s Impulse’s turn to roll his eyes. “I am trying to help you, Skizz, so can you please shut up for once in your life and let me focus instead of telling dumb jokes?”

Woah. Skizz squints (even though Impulse is behind him and therefore cannot be seen). “You okay there, buddy?”

“Just fine,” Impulse mutters, accidentally yanking too hard at a wire when he tries to look at it closer. Skizz curses, and Impulse sighs before quietly apologizing.

“It’s fine,” Skizz dismisses, “you seem distracted anyways.”

“No shit,” Impulse growls out. Skizz sighs and turns around. “Okay, I was going to leave it alone, but seriously, man, what’s up? You’ve been acting off all day.”

“It’s nothing. You’re more important.”

“Dippledop-”

“Fine!” Impulse shouts. “Fine. You reaaaaally want to know. All I’m doing is making sure you aren’t in pain for, like, the rest of your life, but that’s not enough, is it, Skizz? You just need to know everything about me. Well. Have it your way.” And, from under his jacket, he pulls the necklace he always wears, and-

Skizz inhales sharply. Oh. 

The clockwork-and-vine-patterned ring that was supposed to be safely hanging from the necklace's wire…

…Is gone.

“W- I- fuck, man, I’m sorry. I didn’t know-” “Yeah, well. Now you do.” Impulse sounds… bitter, when he says it. Angry. “Now can we go back to fixing your stupid wings?”

My honest prediction for Hazbin’s reception at this point is that it will come out, and not a lot of people will care. If the writing isn’t just flat out bad with offensive humor, breakneck pacing, aversion to meaningful world building, and poor visuals; Hazbin will just slip right into that mediocre valley. Because Viv is too scared of actual stakes and consequences and changing the status quo in her stories.

I haven’t seen or heard much about Hazbin outside of people who are already aware of it. Amazon clearly isn’t too hyped about it, and the only people I’ve seen singing it’s praises are people who were there from the pilot.

It won’t be reviewed well- people might show up to watch it when they hear it’s bad- and maybe we’ll get a video or two about the “downfall of Hazbin”- but attention will taper out and people will move on. I know I’m gonna drop most everything with Hazbin and Helluva once I see what happens in January.

I mean Invincible is coming back- there’s gonna be more shows people care about way more. Percy Jackson’s new show is going to be airing weekly all throughout January, for my enjoyment at least. Hazbin won’t have anything about it that’s sustainable.

"The mediocre valley." I like that, and I agree.

pookie pies can you send me asks or like dms ( might not answer those tho I'm not good at conversations 😭)

[muirmarie]

omg, your tags on that post!!! literally agree so hard, never understood why mccoy gets the "bad at flirting" personality in so much fanon, like what show were they watching! he basically flirts with every women he meets that isnt a patient. And i know that a lot of fic is for aos, but even in that mccoy kinda flirts with chapel, the only time when i think it makes sense for mccoy to be so self conscious is after the divorce and not during the 5 yr missioin

yesssss anon you get me!!! I think it's honestly part and parcel with the same mindset that routinely has fandom making him shorter than the other two, when he's only a couple inches shorter than Spock, and is in fact taller than Kirk. (looking up their heights will imply De and Shatner were the same height, but simply watching the show makes it very clear that Shatner or his PR lied about his height - he's very obviously shorter than De.)

and everyone absolutely gets their own headcanons and their own interpretations and can focus on what they want to focus on, but my personal belief is that McCoy is sometimes...

look, I just think McCoy gets hit with that unfortunate fandom mindset that says one of the guys in a mlm ship needs to be fem!coded with the MOST stereotypical gender stereotypes possible.

noncanonically shorter height, insecure, shy, needs tons of reassurance.....like.........it's kinda obvious, imo?

and if ppl LIKE making him short and insecure and shy, then have at it and go with god, just....maybe don't imply that's canon?

like. the sheer confidence required to be the CMO on the flagship? this is an adult who is at the forefront of his field, and he KNOWS it.

the way he flirts with ladies all the time, like you mentioned???

he absolutely DOES turn into a deeply charming deer-in-the-headlights when Natira kisses his hand, but that's about INTIMACY and VULNERABILITY, not flirting and charm.

idk I don't want to harsh anyone's vibe, I just wish that fanon wasn't taken as canon. that's where I start sighing a little lmao.

👀(happy new year to you!!)

Thanks, anon! Happy new year to you too!!

Here, have a snippet from the next ruffled feathers role reversal au :3 I'd had hopes to finish it before the end of the year, but 'twas not to be, haha

The avian’s hands were over his face again before it entered Scar’s field of vision.  “Did you see?” he whispered.

“See what?”

“My face.”

Beneath his usual self-assurance, CuteGuy was terrified.

“No,” Scar answered honestly.  There had been too much chaos, and the room was much too dark.

Now that they were out in the light, though, Scar noticed that CuteGuy’s hair was several shades lighter - sandy-golden rather than its usual medium brown.  Pretty, he thought, as the sunlight glowed honey-like over the wavy strands.

“Good,” CuteGuy whispered.  “Those - those things drained my glamor.”  He took a shuddering breath, regaining some of his steadiness as he exhaled.  “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

“Huh.  Magic vampire bats.  Who’d have thought?”

CuteGuy gave a perfunctory chuckle.  “Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked.

“Nah, just a few scratches,” Scar said, as nonchalant as he could manage.  “Nothin’ the old HotCave can’t patch up!”

It was more than a few scratches, and it hurt quite a bit, but Scar figured CuteGuy had enough concerns of his own.

“Close your eyes.”

“What?”

“Close your eyes.”  CuteGuy’s voice was firm and insistent.  “Let me take a look.”

umm hii can we read your little story ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

thank you for the interest! please correct me if i'm wrong but i'm assuming you're talking about the piece i mentioned yesterday about the creature in the city (with the line "the rot-sweet scent of decay")?unfortunately since that piece is for a university submission, i can't share it until i've had marks released for it! alas, plagiarism regulations can be pretty strict, and it's better safe than sorry. i'll definitely put it up when i can, though, as i'm really pleased with it!

if you're talking about a different piece, give me a shout and i'll see what i can release! i love being able to share and talk about my work.

I will say- I can’t claim credit for the mediocre valley, I got it from Super Eyepatch Wolf and his video “Riverdale: The Show That Went Completely Insane”

Great video- totally recommend it!

But his whole thing with the mediocre valley and how on one side you have those shows that are “so bad they’re good” and the other being “so good they’re good” did put something in perspective for me

Cause you do have shows that are so out there and wild that, while they are “good”, you just can’t help but have fun with them. And other times a piece of media is just so nothing and played save you hardly remember it for anything at all

If Viv was a better person, her fandom less aggressive, and her plots less actively harmful, I'd love nothing more than to count her media as so bad, it's good. It's just not as much fun when something's this unsalvageable.

Ooc: by public demand and now that I know my boyfriend doesn't really mind me doing this, I present to all of you, a short description of Feather:

150 cm tall (I think that would be either 5'4" or 5'5")

Likes to wear both female and male wear of the era.

I'll leave their body type to your imagination, since I don't know how to describe her. Just keep in mind she's strong enough to lift and carry Falin around despite her height.

Black hair that reaches past her shoulder blades

Eye color is a deep/dark brown

(The Feather anon! :D) (I don't know how to make interesting characters ;-;)

ooc: love it. is she a tall man or some other species?/gq

You should probably also tell people about the glaring age gap and predatory behavior on PV’s end

Out of curiosity, what do you think pederasty means? Did you miss the references to their differences in age in the materials? If you can't read or comprehend the excerpts I provided with the information you're requesting, I don't know what me restating it is going to do for you.

I'm not providing a detailed breakdown of the predatory behavior from Paul Verlaine nor of the extreme and abusive behavior from Arthur Rimbaud, because I'm not hosting a trial on the behavior of men who have been deceased since the 19th century. Further, I'm not going to strip Rimbaud of his agency, reflections, and language to project moral rectitude; my virtue isn't so fragile.

If you're unable to engage with the human condition when it's unsavory and vile, I don't recommend literature for you, nor do I have anything to offer you.

(carry me away is a breath away from 900 kudos, and will be my third fic to hit that number ((but for real???? what??? on earth????)) and i say thank you thank you thank you thank you a thousand times over. and i am also frequently reminder how much i love this fic, and the dialogue in it.)

“Thanks for the drinks, Remus.”

“You’re leaving?”

“I have a business meeting tomorrow morning.”

“On a Sunday?” Remus grinned a little, “I don’t believe that.”

“You shouldn’t. I’m a liar.” Sirius said, “And also drunk. So there’s effectively two strikes against me, and I bet I could get to a third by the end of the night. Or in the next ten minutes.” Sirius gave him a smile, “Anyway, I do have to head home.”

“I’ll walk you.”

“Fine, but only half-way.”

“How do we know when it’s half?” 

Sirius shrugged, “When I decide I’m no longer interested.” He gave Remus a sly grin before heading towards the doors of the bar and walking out into the warm city air.
