#i'm so close to finishing the fic

[ragnarlothcat]

Went to an MLB game tonight and spent half the time being mad about the DH and the other half thinking about how much I enjoy your baseball fic and honestly that's a pretty good ratio, for me

I'm flattered that I could interrupt your justified hatred of the DH 🥰 Honestly I'm super used to it (AL team) but I did always appreciate when my guys would face an NL team because our pitchers always looked so excited to get to hit for once. Sure they were usually terrible at it but they were having so much fun!!!

Hitting might help humble Anakin in my baseball fic, except that I've written him as infuriatingly talented so he'd actually be great and Obi-Wan would have to spank him extra hard about it. Everybody wins!

I was skipping around 2x07 looking to see if i could find any more bruises on Lestat's wrists and hands and trying to determine when they show up and when they don't based on the POV shifts but instead I got smacked in the face by how different Lestat's hair is in the obvious Armand POV distortion vs Louis' POV...

Armand really said I am giving this bitch a middle part and that's the end of it. 😭

He scrunches his nose again. He’s so fucking cute, Buck has to kiss him about it. So he leans in to press his lips against Tommy’s briefly, but then moves to kiss the tip of Tommy’s nose, and then his chin, just because, reveling in the fact that his boyfriend can’t stop the beaming smile spreading on his face.

[gay-ppl-real]

Fic-related doodles :)

I am continuing to draw fanart of my own writing /j

The first one is based off of my recent fic Insect Removal Services

And the second one is from a fic that I haven't shared yet, so it's under the secrets wall for spoilers. The fic is about Eddie getting sick and having to hand over control of the post office to some of his neighbours for a few days. Specifically this is from the second part, where he's on his first delivery rounds after getting better!

[nyoomerr]

hhhh just ONE. MORE. CHAPTER of my fth fic and then it's done... !

somehow the second to last chapter ended up nearly twice as long as every other chapter so it's felt like i've been slogging through it forever, so glad i finally finished it orz

[veliseraptor]

replaying dragon age inquisition right now and it's getting me excited about my fenders fic again. a fic with a probable audience of three, since i'm guessing it will be a sort of 'this pleases no one' kind of work, but, well

i've written 15k of it so far and at some point i will make that other peoples' problem

[wretchedbirdthing]

“Well done, Aka.” Yukari smiled warmly, her tone soft and comforting.

“My most loyal of shikigami. It would only make sense for your reward to be proportional to the quality of the work you’ve done for me.”

Creating a gap in front of the two, she reached inside with one hand and smiled at the tengu. Without breaking eye contact with her, Yukari wriggled her arm. Aka’s ears perked up as she heard the tell-tale shaking of a particular jar. Instantly, she began to drool, her eyes widening into dazzling red saucers. Such a reaction made Yukari smile even brighter.

Aka’s breathing hastened as Yukari pulled her hand out, holding a lavishly decorated purple tin labeled “The Good Birdseed” in large, cursive letters.

[overly-verbose]

If SIkuna will get the Heian era form later, can he change his appearance? I mean, it will be weird to see a guy with four arms hanging in public.

Assuming he were to do that,

(who knows, not me (I do lol) , if the hypothetical timeline where he and Yuji get separated is gonna be Canon to the Series *HeeHee HoHo's mysteriously*)

yup!

His alternate, 'human' form would be strongly based off of Yuji still, but with some differences.

(I've kinda drawn that as well, but I can definitely imagine it not exactly being clearly explained lol)

For one, he's significantly taller than Yuji (at least for now, the kid is most likely gonna grow to be not as much shorter lol) - although he can be shorter.

He usually isn't much 'shorter', because it's more comfortable - any much lower and it'd feel a bit like a too-tight shirt, but for your whole body lol

('down' to 6~ft/182~cm (wherein he usually stays at 6.4-5ft/193-195~cm) is the min. of proper comfiness)

He also wears earrings (I usually imagined some simple black ones, but he could just as well wear something Hello Kitty related lol (both for the Meme and just because) or just cute, or more colourful), and his left eyebrow has two slits - to kinda connect him visually to his Big Form heh

(I'm kinda contemplating adding some other things but yeah that's the bigger things heh)

And, although usually he only has these whilst in the Bigg form, he can have four arms, stomach mouth, and such whilst 'small' as well - but yeah, that's not exactly something that'd be useful/possible to use in public 😂

As shown in Chapter 2 of Visuals (although it is a different timeline, SIkuna is SIkuna lol), he can sometimes forget to close his secondary eyes, especially at the beginning of the Separation or when kinda mentally tired - it's just much more natural for them to be open

Some random person is more likely to assume they imagined it or he just had good cosplay than actual four eyes though, so hey at least there's that saving him

Not to mention interference from the kids he's likely hanging out with lol, Nobara is a quick-thinking Queen when her older familial figure is being a dum-dum and forgoring 💀 how to Human properly and we love her for it 👏

Since I imagine her dragging SIkuna out for clothes shopping relatively often, perhaps with other kids as well - and SIkuna doesn't mind it at all, he loves actively participating in the kids' hobbies 🥺 - she probably had to cover for his spookiness and such quite often lmao, even if he tries his best 😂

He is very respectful and polite to any workers they might encounter during their shopping though (well, assuming they aren't being unreasonably rude themselves but that's rare, especially in Japan I'd imagine), so fortunately even despite his Vibes being Very Off the two (or more) usually end up being a nice surprise to them actually lmao

- the fact that SIkuna likely takes everything that isn't chosen back perfectly into place whilst waiting for Nobara/other kids to put another outfit on probably makes their spookiness easier to deal with as well 😂😂😂

(He's not 'spared' from dressing up, but he can lighten the load on the workers' shoulders a little bit while he waits his turn, you know - he might be partially old as hell and from a time where that would have been unheard of to do for the sake of 'servants', but he also is partially someone from the 2020's lmao, he gets the pain)

(Imagine crossovers with Canon whilst he's in this form though lol, I feel like one Quite painful Misunderstanding that could happen is that This Other Sukuna apparently completely took over an older Yuji or something (since he clearly isn't there but Sukuna looks. like he looks.) OOF-)

seven sentence sunday

Thanks for the tag @dear-massacre 🥰

Sharing an excerpt from my secondary WIP, the lie is beautiful, AKA nanny au. Coming to an AO3 near you soon (... or at least somewhere in the next few months).

-

Derek’s hold on Stiles' hip shifts slightly, fingertips tightening to bite bruises into his skin, and he is sucker-punched by the abrupt, awful realisation that he can feel the cool metal of Derek’s wedding ring, pressed solidly against him.

He wants to scream. Fuck, he wants to scream, take it off, take it the fuck off, please, fuck, just – take it off.

He says nothing.

“Ready?” Derek asks softly behind him.

This is going to break me, he thinks.

“Yeah,” he says out loud.

Final chapter of Criminal Experience today!

Chapter 9 - “Silenced”

❤️ Read on AO3

💙 Start from Chapter 1

💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics

---

Impulse, Skizz, and Mumbo stand their ground - In that order, for better or worse - and our story draws to a close.

(First 1,000 words under the cut)

---

Flickers later…

They shimmer into "people form" again with a great rush in the toes. Teleportation wraps the body, strangles the neck, and snaps them to the floor. Oof. Skizz lands on his feet, but slumps against the wall. Mumbo slams belly-first to dirt. The chill of the air and stink of composters leaves no doubt as to where Skizz dropped them. Mumbo braces on his forearms and takes a ragged breath, which turns into coughs and gags.

"Oh, goodness… I might be sick."

Impulse isn't doing much better. He heaves, snuffling mostly, and shakes his head about. His tattered wings flap behind him like something fighting for a scrap of life. Did something get torn out of him in that jump from there to here?

"Impulse-"

"Eugh," Skizz mutters, and makes a disgusting slurping noise. He glitters white and gold from the spectral arrow BigB pinged him with, and his skin's coated in dark blotches that look like dark, fresh burns. His knees bend. He squelches to the ground. A yell lashes overhead. Stomping feet kick up sand in a great scuff-scuff of illager boots. Mumbo presses flat to the dirt. They're under the arena, apparently in the loo… or at least some changing room with composters lined against the wall, separated by banners. BigB is up there right now, and Impulse coughs thickly in his elbow crook. The screwed-up eyes don't hide the sparks leaking from the corners.

"We gotta… run. Not hide… Illusioners can see through blocks."

"Forget that bit- Skizz is glowing. He'll chase us anywhere unless we teleport." Me too. White glitter still dances up and down his arms.

"Yes." Impulse cringes forward, clutching his arm. Did he bang it in the fall? Did Carrie land that on him? His shirt is torn, overall straps hanging loose. Mumbo glimpses just a flash of blue down his back where the mace must have pierced before Impulse drags his attention to the panting enderman. He lurches forward. Mumbo sits too (with a wince), but whatever he's feeling… Well. Impulse has it worse. Mumbo had the shield. It blocked a few arrows, but Impulse took some heavy hits. The shield lies abandoned in the dirt, plugged with arrows. So is Skizz.

"Don't pull," Mumbo warns, staying Impulse's hand as the phantom hybrid reaches for the nearest shaft. Impulse's claw-tipped fingers shake against the air.

"Skizz, we gotta go… We gotta go. You've gotta come to or he's going to find us. He's coming this way, I'm sure."

"Indeed." Mumbo casts his eyes to the blocks above. He can hear sand scuffling. "Impulse, he's digging in. He's breaking blocks. Hang on- Is he allowed to do that?" The bathroom ceiling can't be more than one layer deep. Only those blocks of sand stall the illusioner's descent, and he sounds as though he's on his knees and throwing whole handfuls behind him. That isn't proper mining. He's not grabbing blocks. He'll make himself a little sinkhole, filling it with spilled sand as he goes.

Impulse shifts closer. He grips Skizz's turtleneck collar and rolls it downwards. Skizz's every breath comes out in huffs. Mumbo catches one glimpse of thick blue soul goop at his neck and quickly looks away. Impulse, though, stays steady as. "All right, Skizz," he's saying. "We've gotta go. I can't carry you… Our pixels will blend together. Can you teleport? Can you walk? … Mumbo, start working on a way out."

"Through the door?" It looks open; it's the direction BigB isn't coming from (for the moment). Impulse makes a rolling gesture with his hand.

"Not that way- Just take the blocks from the wall."

"But- the roleplay immersion-"

"MUMBO!"

"Yes, sorry. I'll do it." He does have the pick. Mumbo spins it in his hand and starts hacking at the blocks, throwing strength in every swing. He gets two blocks deep before he cringes up, a spiral of pain flicking up his back. "Oh, wow…"

Swinging my scythe and jumping off roof's really catches up… And BigB's still digging overhead, furiously tearing through clumps of wet sand. The storm rages on above. Ah, yes. That's where Skizz's burns came from.

Skizz smiles feebly, shaky fingers clutching his jumper to his chest. "Hey, Impy… Got you out of there, didn't I?"

"Shh, shh… We're gonna be okay. Just try not to let those wounds seal over too much… We need to get you clean."

"The soul spawners give regen," Mumbo whispers, and Impulse bows his head. Skizz's fingers find the man's cheek, tracing sand and bits of soul goop from the bristles on his chin.

"You got a sword, Impulse?"

Impulse grasps his hand, pinning the palm against his face. "I don't trust that man. He's got a quiver full of arrows, lookalike copies, and Mumbo's scythe. We don't fight anymore. We just run, Skizz… Come on. How's your legs?" And louder, "Mumbo, how's that escape route?"

"… Impulse, it's raining. Skizz won't make it."

"Then we take the wall blocks and build a new ceiling all the way back."

"Uh, with BigB right behind us, dude? And the locals will hate us if we take from their art project and don't give back."

The phantom hybrid shudders, dropping his face to his hands. Mumbo watches his bony tail drag across the dirt floor. He lowers the pick. From this angle, Impulse's injuries look like butterflies on display. Blue soul energy soaks the back of his neck, shirt, and overalls. Some of those blows look to be from Carrie and her mace, though certain gashes mark him as a man who took the local flock captain in a fight. He oozes up and down his body, and more than one arrow's still stuck in his flesh. Even with the regeneration aura pulsing through the hub, that's got to hurt. And those won't seal with the arrows in them.

… Skizz has arrows jabbed up and down his body. They pepper every chink BigB and his clones could land. And every breath's a fight. It drags at him like he's got the hiccups. He flickers between solid color and bright, bold red.

"Impulse?" The word is soft when it leaves Mumbo's lips. For a moment, the loo lapses into silence, because honestly, Mumbo thought Skizz said it. But Impulse turns his head. He's got loose pixels smeared around his eyes, unstable energy leaking down his skin. He's waiting for a question. So Mumbo licks his lips and gives him one. "You're… you're the escort. What do we do? … I'm no good without my scythe. Seriously, that's- I'm just pants without it, honestly. It had Illager's Bane and Ambush on it. Um. Don't worry about the allays, though. I left them with a friend. She'll… she'll come through."

[Full chapter on AO3 - Link at top - Work is now complete!]

[thursdayinspace]

got to the revival in the rewatch so maybe that will finally get me unstuck on the revival fic I've abandoned a couple of weeks ago.

(I'm actually looking forward to rewatching the revival even if that's an unpopular opinion lol)

[kingwuko]

I've so many questions!! For the OTP Asks:

3

5

13

17

19

20

28

46

59

3. Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

Wu might be dramatic about the cold and Mako might give him his jacket. I kinda like the idea of Mako wearing one of Wu's scarfs too. Like he wore a scarf for so long, and after he gave it to his grandma he couldn't bring himself to buy or make another scarf and feel like he was replacing his dad's? but then maybe he decides to throw on one of Wu's scarves one day and Wu compliments him on how good it looks on him and now that's his new scarf?

5. Describe their cozy night in.

just go read chapter 5 of my fic, Secret lol. the entire chapter is a montage of cozy nights in. Mako listens to pro bending matches on the radio so that's probably happening. I think Wu does paperwork in the evenings sometimes so I think they just have nice chats while doing their own thing?

13. Who’s the bigger tease?

Wu. I don't really have an explanation for this I just love the idea that Wu teases and Mako gets flustered.

17. Who's more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?

MAKO for SURE. He's Mr PDA and he's also just a very physically affectionate person. I know Wu is always draping an arm around him and grabbing his shoulder but I think Mako's the one who initiates romantic touching.

19. How do they feel about PDA?

LMAO i answered 17 before looking at what 19 was. Mako's gross with the PDA I've talked about it before. Rubbing noses, hand feeding cotton candy c'mon man there's other people here, get a room please, not everyone wants to see that! Wu doesn't mind it at all he's just super surprised at first.

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

*Looks at my Wuko spotify playlists* ONE SONG???? OKAY the problem is most of the songs I add to my playlists are from one perspective or the other. So I'm going to pick TWO. I'm sorry one song is too much pressure For Mako: Falling for the First Time by BNL. For Wu: Latch by Sam Smith

28. What are there thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

Might be cliche but Wu calling Mako "Big guy" or "Tough guy" gives me life. I think Wu pretty much just throws all kind of names around. Buddy, Handsome. Good looking. Hot Stuff. But big guy and tough guy are the most common. I've pretty much landed on "honey" for Mako to call Wu. Simple and endearing. Mako doesn't go overboard but Wu is delighted by it.

46. Would they get frisky at the movies by themselves?

NOT IF IT'S A NUKTUK MOVER lmao. I don't think they'd get frisky, but they might get cuddly. They're a PDA couple but I don't think they're a public sex kinda couple lol.

59. Who tops? Who bottoms?

I am a Top Wu Bottom Mako truther.
