#flightless birds of parc national du mont tremblant

[whatthefoucault]

I just keep returning to these lil guys and their lil cabin on a lil lake in Québec. They go on lil adventures here and there, but it’s nice to bring them home, to the lakeshore down the steps from the porch, where they swim some mornings when the weather is good, or just look out across the lake to the trees and mountains beyond.

antwan and nigel in the fanfiction “Flightless Birds of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant” @whatthefoucault

Day 22 of Stream Ink is Cottage Day, and I’m thinking of this cozy, rustic little home on the shore of Lac Escalier, where these two lil guys like to start the day with a really good cup of coffee.

And maybe it was the sheer absolute fuck-off ridiculous torment of the day thus far, but that, he was quite convinced, was the best hot chocolate he had ever had in his life. Nigel was by the door, staring out into the road in search of a tow truck with the unwavering stoicism of someone aiming to catch an elusive glimpse of, like, a fucking bigfoot. Antwan sighed, and pressed the hot chocolate button again.

Sharing is caring, or something.

if i make fanart of your antwan/nigel fic will you give me some of your scrumptious homemade cookies

Yes, I absolutely will. All the cookies, lovingly baked by mine own hands. Oh my goodness.

Day 15 of Stream Ink is Egg day! Did you know that the kiwi bird lays an egg that’s implausibly almost the same size as a fully grown kiwi bird? No seriously their eggs are THIS LORGE. Good thing these two are very supportive partners!

It's a beautiful winter's day, and Nigel and Antwan have decided to actually do some mountain stuff, since they live by the mountains. But skiing doesn't allow for nearly as many cuddles as sharing a toboggan, so...

So, Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant already had a soundtrack, but now it also has a playlist. An important narrative distinction, of course, but also an opportunity to STEP INSIDE ANTWAN'S IMPORTANT TRACKS TO HELP NIGEL HUM ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE JUMANJI SOUNDTRACK

THIS IS MEAN. This is in reference to this post and the lovely @pygmywhales​ has sent THREE of  ✨ , which stands for:

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

And YOU KNOW NOW I’M ALL FLAPPY AND SILLY AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. YOU KNOW. So... here we go I guess.

1. I fucking love the story I’m telling right now. Fucking love it with my whole heart. Is it extremely niche? Yes. Do I love it so much I want everyone to read it? Also yes.

2. I mean I’m assuming it’s a good sign if I make myself cry whilst writing a chapter. I figure that’s probably an indication that the work is striking some kind of chord if in so putting the words down and out there, it’s drawing actual tears from the author. Like, I’m not sitting here like some kind of villain going nyeh-heh-heh and scheming over how I’m going to make my readers suffer, I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out because my characters have experienced things I know have been so difficult and I just want to hug them and I CANNOT BECAUSE THEY ONLY EXIST IN MY LITTLE THEATRE OF THE MIND AND MY ARMS CANNOT REACH THERE.

3. The above referenced story has not only an original soundtrack, which I’d love for you to listen to and imagine the cinematic visuals that would be playing around them if I could bribe a film production company with enough homemade cookies to file the serial numbers off this thing and turn it into a movie, but ALSO it has an in-universe playlist belonging to a certain character, which I have also made and listened to in order to test its verisimilitude, but cannot share yet because THAT WOULD BE SPOILERS. I aim for thoroughness.

Hope this helps.

Hi <3

I am yearning for the next update of Flightless Birds of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant. This fic is amazing and I honestly didn't think this was a pairing I'd enjoy to read about but the way you write them and their dynamic and the cool idea of how they came to spend time together (yes, also the eventual smut) I really enjoy this story and hope you find the time and muse to continue!

Hello, dear anonymous friend! Thank you so much for your kind words about my silly little story; they made my day :3c

I do apologise that there was no new chapter last Thursday; it was my birthday, and I was out of town for a few days without computer access, so I thought it best to keep to the usual posting day this week instead for consistency's sake.

As such, you can now find chapter 11 here. I hope you enjoy it!

You know if I had a spare £160 I’d get the Lego cabin and make an Antwan minifig to live in it. Because of reasons.

Flightless Birds of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant

aka the story that's consumed me for the better part of a year, 23 chapters of game dev x NPC that requires little knowledge of the source media tbh, a story that's incredibly special to me and close to my heart, a bit of a love letter to the wilderness of Quebec and my memories of time spent there, and a story about guilt and struggles and finding oneself, and finding connection in unlikely places, and unlikely people.

I also had to look up a lot of facts about nature for this, so there's that.

Bringing this back because I'm still working on the follow-up to this story and it's been a year (!!!) since I finished it??? I'm still so proud of this, and it's very special to me, and I hope you like it.

Also file under “just in time for the latest chapter of Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant”

You can't give me a picture of Nigel in front of a green screen and expect me to just not make a terrible illustration of what it would look like if there was a deleted scene from Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant where Nigel is desperately searching for mobile phone signal around the cabin in order to contact emergency services because Antwan is feeling sad that morning, and YES THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ACTUALLY WAIT DON'T HANG UP oh they hung up

[whatthefoucault]

So I wrote this fic called Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant, and I realise that this was buried in the author’s notes, so I thought I’d link to the story’s soundtrack here too, because it’s cinematic and nice.
