Wip Wednesday

do I have the stage where I start new wips but barely write the one's I have because I'm super indecisive and not inspired? yes. let's hope soon I will be fine and work on my wips I want to work on. Anyway meet new wip where bucktommy will have long angst in their relationship because Tommy needs to grief "what ifs" with Sal he never thought about till he sees Sal as Captain of 118 (it's an au where Sal is a captain instead of Gerass)(it's only the start of the fic btw)

thanks to nonny @racerchix21 and this song (the title taken from the song and it's "I tried to go on like I never knew you"

Tommy knows it all should be in the past. In stolen kisses in bars they knew Gerrard and the team would never come too. In usually passionate and wild - almost never tender and sweet - sex. In secrets they shared under sheets, when they both knew that the moment their fabric cover was gone they couldn't talk about those moments of comfort and vulnerability they shared. In breakfast’s Sal made for him and his nonna's lasagna recipe Tommy cooked for the man. In wild dreams Tommy knew could never be a reality. Especially not when Sal changed stations and firstly their meetups were less and less frequent until they stopped after Sal’s wedding. 

And Tommy swears he thought he was over it. Over Sal. Over dreams of the future they could never share. But one look at the man whose appearance barely changed since Tommy last saw him five years ago, staying near 118 trucks the same way he always did, while talking with Chim, and all that got back at him. All the memories of stolen love and painful hope to be happy, proud and loved. Preferably by his “best friend”. By the one of the best men he ever met even if they could be rough with each other or rude or just wrong. Sal always came back with sorry, that Tommy knew was genuine. They were so wrong together, but also so wrongly perfect. So electric. Sal made him feel how almost no one could. Only his first crush Eric from the army, Sal and …

“Hey, handsome, sorry for the delay, Hen needed help to choose a present for Karen,” Evan kissed his cheeks, smiling like thousands of suns.

If Tommy didn’t know and was pretty acquainted with Evan’s quirks and little signs of his fatigue, he would never think the man just ended his 48 hour shift.

“It’s fine, baby.”

Tommy smiles and he hopes his inner turmoil of seeing an old friend is not shown on his face.

“Have you met my new captain yet?”

“No, but I don’t need to.”

Evan adorably tits his head and Tommy wants his heart to be so fast only because of it and the taste of Evan’s lip balm on his cheek, but he swears he can feel the taste of liquor he and Sal were drinking last time they kissed. Right before Sal asked Jennifer out on their first date.

“I worked with Sal. Even more than Chim and Hen,” Tommy says and Evan for a second frowns and then hits his face.

“And they were no less inseparable as you and Eddie,” Chim says, with the loud sound of gum bubbles breaking.

Tommy doesn’t know when he and Sal got closer to them, but he would really happy if they never see that Tommy was there at all. 

“God, of course. In my defense it was so long ago I just haven’t even thought that all three of you were a team.”

“Yeah, I left the station almost a decade ago and it feels like it was in another life, so it’s fine, Buck.” 

Sal smiles at his boyfriend and Tommy wants to make as much room between them as possible. Maybe it will help him to to separate all these feelings of worry and anxiety and love and confusion from the sight of the man he had loved for years, but had never had the opportunity to own his love completely for himself, never feeling that Sal had given him his heart, and a man who he knows is step away from get into his own chest and rip out his heart with all the vessels and give it to Tommy if he just says the word. Sal would never do it even if Tommy would beg

Okay so we’ve all seen that the shirt Tommy is wearing when hes showing Buck around harbor is pretty similar to the shirt Sal wore when he got kicked out of the 118 and it gave me an idea

for story purposes and personal hc i imagine tommy and sal are bestfriends they just had to deal with alot of shit between them first

Sal: “Hey Tommy have you seen my nice shirt? The tan one with the pocket? I cant find it anywhere and I checked all over my house and figured if its not there it’s somehow over here.”

Tommy: “Oh yeah it’s on the clothes rack.”

Sal: ….. “Why do you have my shirt?”

Tommy: “I “borrowed” it”

Sal: “WHY”

Tommy: ….. “So you know that cute guy I was talking about that I met on the helicopter with howie and hen?”

Sal: “Yes the one you haven’t shut up about.”

Tommy: “Okay soooo the day after, he called me and wanted a tour of harbor and im like cool I get to show him around and maybeeee see if hes interested. So I went to find a nice shirt. Problem is I couldn’t find anything and didn’t feel like doing laundry sooooo I might have went over to your house and stole your shirt 😁”

Sal: ��. “Really?”

Tommy: “Hey at least I washed it and ironed it, YOUR WELCOME”

Sal: *deadpan* “Thanks.”

Tommy: “Hey don’t start, you’ve worn my shirts for dates before and I didn’t complain. Plus the ladies like you more because my shirts always smell better because I wear better cologne”

Sal: “My cologne is just fine thank you very much”

Tommy: “no to be honest it stinks”

Sal: “No it doesn’t!”

Tommy: “Yeah it does :/“

Sal: *grumbling* “I hate you”

Tommy: *flashing a shit eating grin* “Love you too Sal, thanks for being my unwilling wingman❤️”

Sal: *rolls his eyes and walks away smiling while muttering something about gay people*

I think my favorite thing about that fic is the chirping? How it like- does something to the receiver?

They seem like they are unable to explain why, but the simple act of something like one of others uncontrollably chirping or cooing in glee at them causes them to just melt into a happy, gooey puddle.

Like, it reads to me as somewhere deep deep in their brain there’s a little bird that instinctually preens under the sound of happy bird noises (for Hunted that bird has probably taken up most of the real estate in his brain but bear with me here-).

These boys have bested drowning, being eaten, the horrible sensation of being sliced into tiny, tiny pieces- and a little noise is what makes them topple like a jenga tower.

!!!

I want to respond to this more intelligently but all my brain is wanting to say is ":D :D :D YES!"

okay okay okay

Yes, I really love this element of things. I think whether it is gentle touches, little instinctive happy noises, or little instinctive happy gestures... I think part of it is almost because they've gone through so much Bad Shit. Their entire existence for a large chunk of their initial lives was nothing but repeated horrible circumstances! And yet...

When they're together there can be gentle touches and vulnerability is no longer quite as scary, or someone might preen a bit at a compliment or there's a happy chirp and suddenly they're affecting someone they care about in a way that speaks to their hindbrain like yes! That is a happy sound!

I am so glad that you noticed and appreciate the idea of that making them fall to gleeful pieces <33

Stickers Interest check

It's not the first time I thought about making them, but definitely the first time I'm serious and doing research :)

This is just a interest check for me. I haven't ever made stickers so it's hard for me to estimate any interest. These two images are just examples.

Feel free to comment if it's one character you're specifically interested in. I'll draw what people suggest and want anyway (single characters or ships)!

Chat I’m so stupid how do I have two of the bestest friends I could ever ask for

I’m waiting for the shoe to drop, it always does I wish it wouldn't I can't imagine losing them

They're different from all my past online friends but like I’m getting myself psyched

I literally love them both so much I’m going to cry if we ever have a falling outing

they're both so great and amazing, I love them so much

Them being happy make me happy, they being sad makes me sad

I care about them so much and I want the best for them and I hope they know I’m here for them

I literally have my arms as open as possible, they're the two people I love the most

[shiftlevishift]

its taking everything in my soul not to script to a Sally Face dr. Like okay little gay boy you have a crush on the 5'7" blue hair pronouns twink but you DONT need to script a whole new reality for it. you DONT need that. I DONT NEED TO. I have a reality I want to focus on, that I want right now, and I know I can get to simply just bc of how badly I want it.

but GODDDD I NEED THAT MAN. I NEED TO BE IN THE LATE 90s/EARLY 2000s. I NEED TO BE IN THE MIDWEST. I NEED TO LIVE IN A SHITTY APARTMENT WITH MY DAD NEXT TO SAL'S. I NEED TO BE ASH'S BEST FRIEND ARNGARNGARNG GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE.

Back in my Sally Face obsession.

7, 16?

hey i just fully fuckin forgot to answer these meta oc questions. whoops. let's do sal for these!

7. Does your oc have any notable skills or good personality traits? Why did you give them those traits? Why do they exist in-universe? sal is intelligent and hyperspecialized into her field of study. she reads situations quickly, picking up on small details and catches things that others might have missed. she's remarkably good at avoiding attention and a good runner, having both decent speed and the stamina to keep it up over long distances. she genuinely works to understand people even when she struggles to figure out social intricacies, because if she can at least work out how people tick she can predict reactions to a degree.

i gave her those traits because she was originally a vampire the masquerade nosferatu pc, but in-universe she's an obsessive loner who was bullied incessantly and found her niche QUICK to survive, and then got a job in a field that required her to work with a lot of people daily and really get to know them to be successful, and had to adapt.

16. What aspect(s) of the universe's lore are they connected to? Do they change/add lore to the universe? HAHA OH BOY. sal is quite literally connected to the fun flesh eating parasitic fungus that kickstarts the plot. she'll be the main vehicle for Lore about it because she's the only one who cares enough to figure anything out about it instead of trying to destroy it.

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz was so adorable and ahfhdjsjdjdjsjsj and made me feel so many things in the two hours or so it took me to read it.

The novella is about an AI engineer (Clara) and a robot (Sal) coming together as they bond over mechanics and lots of tea. Sal is commited to the tea shop she runs, despite her waning income, and Clara is commited to moving around for the rest of her life.

Spoilers!!!!

While like most robot novels it explores humanity, I found it really intriguing how that transferred into a narrative of grief, love, and purpose. Sal is definitely the highlight of all these themes, i loved every point of their narration. The description of Sals love for the shop as a way of coping with her grief over Karinne (like making the shop her owner so shed have a purpose to fill in where Karinne left) were amazing. At the end where that becomes contrasted with Claras relationship, with clara refusing ownership of her (in a way that reads to me as furthering how clara, as ace, experiences relationships and wants her dynamics with people to be) was a really good way of tying so many themes together.

And while Clara might not have been my favorite character, i love that she comes to the realization that she wants to build something with Sal (like Sal and Karinnes dream).

Anyway it was a very short novella with only so much plot. While Claras first chapter was a bit too slow for me, I found every part after it intriguing and gripping, and I wanna reread it again at some point for further analysis

I realized I REALLY love the bug guy x smol guy trope, which is probably why I'm so into Sal/Gabe. Also Sal is just.. simply hot.

It's also probably why I love Bowuigi so much. Big x smol. Man your Bowser art from, idk when you posted it, was soooo good.

I'm like, a monsterfucker, but I wouldn't actually fuck a monster. I'm the asexual equivalent of a monsterfucker. I'm a monsterdater. I would date the shit outta Bowser
