NOT YOU SIMPIN FOR DR CLAW 😭😭😭😭

DON'T JUDGE ME

I just think he's got a sexy voice lol

[indigoideas]

After it's over and Talon's escaped with the Claw, Penny wants nothing more than to take a hot shower and collapse in her bed for the next twelve hours before spending all day training, and then all the next day, and the next, and the next. Everything goes according to plan until she wakes up the next morning (at six am sharp) to a note on her bedside table. A phone number, the words Call me, Pretty Penny! and a doodle of Talon winking. 

That note fuels her furious training for the next three days as she refuses to so much as consider calling the number. She would need to get a burner phone, which wouldn't take long, but she's not spending any unnecessary time or money on him! 

Although, HQ does have some spare burner phones. It always does. No one would even notice if she borrowed one, let alone care, and it would only take a few minutes. She wouldn't even need to do any tinkering to make it untraceable. 

But she's not going to! Calling the number would be stupid, and pointless, and ridiculous, and– and– she needs to know how he got into her room. That's the only reason she slips a burner phone into her pocket the next time she gets a chance and goes for a late-night walk outside of HQ with it. It's the only reason she takes out the note that hasn't left her person since she found it almost a week before and inputs the number neatly printed on it. It's the only reason she hits call. 

"Hello?" 

For a moment after she hears his voice, she's giddy with happiness. She's heard Doctor Claw can be cruel to those closest to him, but it sounds like Talon is fine. Relief bubbles up inside her, causing her to smile. "Talon!" 

"Penny!" He sounds almost as happy as she feels. "Hang on a second, let me go somewhere a bit quieter." There are footsteps, the clang of a door, and there's suddenly far less background noise. "Sorry about that. There's some construction going on right now, so I wanted to find somewhere where we'd be able to hear each other." 

"How did you get into my room?" 

"Oh. I climbed down from the roof and came in the window. Uh, is that all you wanted to talk about?" 

"Does Claw know where we live?" 

"No!" He sounds almost indignant. "He wanted me to find out where Gadget lives so we could blow it up, but I pretended it was off the grid and untraceable. I fight you professionally, but bringing your personal life into it is foul play." 

"Oh. Yeah, I, uh… thank you." She hadn't expected… any of that. 

Alright then. Time for the next big question. Penny's grip on the burner phone tightens. "Talon, are you okay?" 

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" He sounds confused, and it puts her at ease. 

"I've just… heard things, about Claw, so I… I wanted to check. I'm glad you're okay." 

"Aww, were you worried about me, Pretty Penny?" He's smug now. "That's sweet. You don't need to worry, though. I can take care of myself."

I was writing an Inspector Gadget X my Oc fanfic. I have like 4 chapters finished. So I was thinking of translate it to english and post it here. Someone wants to read it?

[sarcasticskyway]

Choose my next fic!

I need ideas ya'll. Pick the crossover you'd love the most from me! I'm looking to get my boots wet on fanfic writing and I'm not sure what I should do first. I know I want a crossover between my favorites but not which ones exactly. HALP ME WRITE I STG

[superslothpants]

In my fanfiction Claw is basically admitting to wanting Gadget to be his trophy husband 😫

FAQ for my fics

Why does Gadget ride the bus? He's got a car?

not yet he doesn't. Did you not read that his car was fucked? I mean its why he got into this mess in the first place. It was totaled.

2. he didn't get his gadgets this way, he slipped on a banana peel.

this isn't canon, this is an AU. Thats kind of a thing with fanfiction.

3. Penny wasn't a baby in the show.

(I can't believe I've had this question 8 times now) I know!

4. It doesn't take that long to heal from injuries. Why was he in the hospital for 6 months?

you've never healed from body altering modifications before so I'll make this as plain as possible. he's got a helicopter, 8 arms (that we know of), a mallet, and an umbrella in his head! how long do you think you'd need to heal from that?

5. babies don't act like this all the time. They laugh and play.

Tell me you've never had a kid without telling me you've never had a kid. I've had two kids, I know what they do, when they do it, and how long it takes for them to do so.

6. When is Talon going to pop in?

whenever the netflix installment has it...AKA never.

7. When are Ren and Gadget getting together.

they aren't in love, they've never been in love, they're stuck together for work. Although in part three she's more Penny's aunt after Gadget finds out that Ren was in fact his sisters best friend and chosen to be Penny's godmother...which honestly meant she was supposed to have had Penny instead of Gadget. You'll have to wait for that can of worms to unfold. *evil smiles.*

Tonight is the night! We hope to see you there!

[thembofics]

So... I have a confession to make.

I used to have a crush on Dr. Claw (yes, the 1983 version) when I was a kid aaaand I may or may not be considering a Dr. Claw x Reader one-shot (spoiler: there's a Gadget x Reader fic in the drafts lmao)

If anyone wants to send in a request for Dr. Claw, go right ahead! The askbox is always open! If you want to specify which version of Dr. Claw you want, just let me know :)

[giddlygoat]

i retract my previous statement. the puppy love of inspector gadget 1999 has worn off and inspector gadget 2 has officially stolen my heart. i’ve seen the light

inspector gadget 2003 having a stronger story, way better pacing, overall better cohesion, AND being far more in keeping with the original cartoon is definitely not what i expected. that being said, it still left me feeling empty inside and somehow it felt far more soulless than the first movie. the entire cast being replaced was really weird… it’s not a sequel, it’s a total revision of their reboot only 4 years prior. idk man. i still enjoyed it but i’ll never be happy with the way the franchise has been handled.

I'm not gone or done drawing, I'm just taking some time out to get back into the groove of drawing. I know I've made posts like these before throughout the year to this point.

I'm taking a little time to draw for fun and see what comes from it and maybe it'll be post worthy.

I'm still very much into the Inspector Gadget fandom, and that's what I'm spending alot of time on in my doodles for fun. I may also see if I can update my Quimbget Fanfiction one day.

So have a random Quimby checking out Gadget's ass.

Sometimes Idk if continue my inspector Gadget fanfic or not...

[boreal-sea]

I actually think more people in fandom need to innoculate themselves against batshit crazy fanfic.

Fanfiction Friday on ToplessRobot.com was fucking amazing. The author was a guy who would seek out/be sent extremely fucked up fanfic and then subject himself to it and write up reviews about it.

When I say antis don't have an imagination, that's because I've read some of the most fucked up shit in the world.

There was a fic that involved Superman, Inspector Gadget, Penny, Dr. Claw, and a black hole.

There was a fic that involved Snape and the Telletubbies and spaghetti-o's.

There was a fic about the Powerpuff Girls and a literal star in space.

There was a fic involving abortion. I think that one was DBZ themed?

There was an x-men fic with Wolverine, Jean Gray, and Cyclops.

There were two Pokemon fics, one of which was simply known as The Pokemon fic.

There was Lara Croft and a Velociraptor.

There was a fic and I can't remember the fandom anymore but the phrase "WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS!?" is burned into my brain forever because of the comment section.

There was a Sherlock Holmes fic - because I submitted that one myself.

Yes, I found this site riffing on and displaying shocking and weird fanfic so much fun I submitted my own fanfic to be roasted.

It is one of my proudest moments as a fanfic writer.

And that doesn't even count all the other "classic" horrifying fanfics from fandom in general! Like, not to cite more Harry Potter, but "Squick" is one, as well as Hogwarts and the Giant Squid.

So like.

Antis getting mad that a fic has consentual underage sex? Antis getting mad there's simple noncon between two adult characters? Antis getting mad at age gaps???

Y'all.

You're not even on the same fucking planet as the shit I've seen and laughed at.

This is the kind of feedback I would and do kill for! I am so glad to hear that that line did so much heavy lifting for you, because I didn't conceive of it in those terms and now that I have it in mind I am sure it will improve my writing to come.

Two questions:

1. You’ve mentioned before that you write on a very, very old laptop called Joshiba. Do you have your ATH and GF drafts backed up somewhere in case it dies? 2. Out of everything you’ve ever written, what’s your favorite sentence?

1. You’ve mentioned before that you write on a very, very old laptop called Joshiba. Do you have your ATH and GF drafts backed up somewhere in case it dies?

Oh yes. Data loss is one of my least favorite things. Losing some fanfic files on the family computer as a kid cemented that aversion into me. And yet I have lost data many times since then, most notably in 2010 when my laptop Archimedes died out of nowhere, which killed most of my music compositions from one of my most important periods.

I'm quite paranoid about data loss. These days I will typically make a backup every three or four months (or less if I have done a lot of writing or otherwise feel the need to back something up sooner), and I have more than one independent backup device.

I actually got a warning just this morning on my main computer about an impending hard drive failure, so I did a full backup of that one and ordered a replacement drive.

2. Out of everything you’ve ever written, what’s your favorite sentence?

That's a deliciously provocative question, and there are so many different ways I could tackle it.

It would very likely be a fiction sentence, as I both care about my fiction more and put more effort into editing and refining it. But I should at least mention that I've done some nonfiction sentences that I'm really proud of. I love it when I can elegantly bring a thesis together, or synthesize a truly fascinating new idea, or perfectly summarize a thing. In all cases, my great nonfiction sentences are masterpieces of insightfulness and clarity. Clarity and insightfulness are the common factors, the reason you would spend your precious time reading my often-verbose, self-indulgent ramblings.

I don't have any such sentences in mind off the top of my head, sadly, or I would happily share one. I suppose I can leave it to anyone who has been a longtime reader of my journal to volunteer any favorites they can think of.

To get on with the fiction:

I put a lot of thought into first sentences: the first sentence in an entire story; the first sentence in a chapter or section; the first sentence introducing a new character; their first sentence of dialogue. When it makes sense to do so, and when I have the opportunity, I also put a lot of thought into last sentences.

There are the "high art" sentences, the ones that attempt some feat of technical prowess or showcase my skills or artistry. These tend to be longer and/or highly stylistic.

There are the "punchy" sentences: short sentences that comprise their own paragraph to underscore a point, ideally to resounding effect.

There are sentences that I am personally biased toward for external reasons, such as ones involving Silence doing Silence stuff.

There are sentences that have deep, personal resonance for whatever reason.

There are the sentences that depart from literality and become in some way transcendental, often assuming an omniscient voice and openly musing in the company of the reader.

There are sentences that don't look like much on their own but become very powerful in context. (Not unlike the aforementioned "punchy" sentences.)

And of course there are miscellaneous sentences that I just like for whatever reason.

(It's also worth noting that, with the way I write, often the great stuff is only resolvable down to the paragraph level, not the level of individual sentences. And some of it is only resolvable down to the scene level, with no great sentences per se even if the scene itself is very strong.)

Different sentences can excel in different ways, each in turn making a compelling case to be my "favorite." I can like sentences because of some aspect of their structure—their rhythm, for instance, or their alliteration or some other literary quality, or their feel on the tongue or in the eye. Or I can like sentences because of their imagery, the contents they convey, irrespective of their structure. Or I can like them because of their meta function, their role in advancing or pulling together the story or important thoughts therein. And so on. I don't consider these various properties comparable, which makes it very difficult to conceive of one supreme sentence above all others.

Even if that weren't so, the way my memory works also makes it virtually impossible for me to select a favorite without going back and rereading all the fiction I've ever written (lol) or whatever subset thereof I think most likely to produce leading candidates for my favorite.

In lieu of this I am quite limited in what my memory is able to recall at the moment on its own. The sentence that has stuck with me the most in recent months is not especially remarkable on its own; it is one of those "Silence doing Silence stuff" sentences and it really loses a lot of its punch without the context of its paragraph and wider scene, and since it is also something of a spoiler I don't think I will post it here, but it's basically an affirmation of her power, which I love.

Since writing the previous paragraph I spent over an hour looking for a good sentence in order to give you something approaching a satisfying answer, but alack my brain was not plugged into creative writing mode at all today and so I have found this a most unapproachable, inapprehensible exercise tonight. It's funny how, some days, it's like the text itself changes. There are times when I absolutely love this stuff, and times when I just don't connect with it at all, and sadly today is one of the latter.

But perhaps if you could refine the question (and catch me on a better day)? I often find that this helps to unlock my mind, if the derivative question has some new substance which helps me to conceive of the query differently.

Anyway! I've written quite a few sentences in my life. Maybe, given my complete uselessness, it would be better to ask the people who have read some of them what they think. I'd be curious to know, myself.

I can tell you one of the leading candidates for my favorite sentences that I haven't written, however. It's from Dickens:

And Scrooge said often afterwards, that of all the blithe sounds he had ever heard, those were the blithest in his ears.

For context, the preceding sentence is:

He looked so irresistibly pleasant, in a word, that three or four good-humoured fellows said, "Good morning, sir! A merry Christmas to you!"

And I suppose that says a lot about me.
