yelp review
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yes this is canon to my mutual enemy au. this is genuinely how fury and power punch revealed their location to the others.
they can only communicate through yelp reviews because conadger and her minions are tracking all of fury's other accounts. they did not know he is an avid yelper

⚠️☣️💛Pinned Post💛☣️⚠️
Tumblr media
This is my Undertale au (Mainly Sans aus) blog, my main is @cryingbluez. Will mainly be posting my own artwork, and answer asks. I will sometimes reblog others posts too. NOT a follow4follow account. So if you only follow me looking for one back, chances are I will not.
To see if asks/requests are open look at the my bio (theres also links in both this post and bio about rules about asks/requests). You can also send me random head canons or thoughts on characters too, I'd love to hear them!
Asks will be open for both me and my characters/aus just make sure to specify who the ask is for. If no one at all is specified and its not clear who its for I will just use any character to answer lol.
I'm also super okay with unhinged asks/tags on my stuff (as long as it isn't nsfw) I'm also okay with spam likes/reblogs/asks. I'm also okay with anons wanting specific anon names e.g. an anon referring to themselves with an emoji.
Also I'm okay with fanart of my characters! :D make sure to tag me and you can even send an ask in to make sure I see it lol. And I'm also okay with your ocs interacting with mine. Either it be through asks or art.
I'm also prone to adding random bits of info in the tags, not on all my posts, but a lot of my posts have stuff in the tags too, of me talking about something lol.
(This blog will have swearing in it. So if that's something you don't like please be careful when viewing my content)
Tumblr media
You can call me Monodrama, or just Mono for short. Heres the ref for my skelesona.
Tumblr media
Some lore on my sona :D :
Despite the title of ‘Skelesona’ my technically not a skeleton. More so some sort of parasite controlling a puppet/doll that looks like a skeleton.
Monodrama means ‘a dramatic piece for one performer’ (Nickname "Mono"). Given me saying my skelesona he’s actually more of an oc/mascot he doesn’t fully act like me, he's more so a being I can talk through.
His eyes and the bunny features as well as the horn and tail aren’t actually his own, since he’s a sort of parasite he can consume people/monsters and can gain a feature or two that he can use whenever he wants. E.g. he ate someone who had yellow eyes, giving him yellow eye lights, he ate a rabbit monster gaining bunny features, and he ate a reptilian monster for the horns and tail. (Also it explains my blog name lol)
Does have ecto, but rarely has it active
Tumblr media
This blog is just a place for me to shove my Undertale au/Sans au artwork, feel free to send asks or doodle requests in. I have a few undertale ocs too :D
I'm open to answering asks about myself or any au/oc stuff I do, I will try to include doodles whenever I can, so bear with me if I don't answer it quickly. If you sent a doodle request and I don't do it please don't be mad. After all it's free art, I get to choose what I want to draw.
I do utau ships, and have my own sans au that I'm working on. Main utau ship I like is CrossMare (Cross x Nightmare), I enjoy drawing Nightmare a lot so you will see a lot of artwork of him. I tend to go for either fandom versions of characters personalities or my own interpretations of them.
Some of my fav bands/artists are, Glass Animals, Vundabar, Girl in Red, Rio Romeo, TV Girl, Machine Girl, Eve, Creepy Nuts :DD
My writing style tends to be very blunt, so I try to put in emojis/emoticons. I try not to spam them, but just warning ppl that I don't mean to sound mean I just type like that D: .
I'm still trying to figure out how I wanna draw skele's, so bear with me with that, my style might change.
Tumblr media
Some links to posts of mine that I find relevant! :D (will be adding to this as I post more)

#Memento Cadre | Tags for a ut sans au of mine (will add more tags when get more)
#ask #asks #doodle response #text response #anon #(insert user of who sent the ask) | tags for asks, doodle response is when I reply with a doodle, text response is when I respond with text (will probs end up using both tags since I have a feeling I will include both text and a doodle). Anon or someone's user is when either an anon sent an ask or whoever the user is that sent in the ask.
#WebFishing #WF | tags for when I'm talking about the game WEBFISHING. It's normally me posting a room/server code for people to join my game and play with me.
Tumblr media
DNI Homopobic, Transphobic, Xenophobic, etc Racist, Sexist, Ableist, misogynistic, etc Proshipers, Pedophiles, etc Just basically all the problematic stuff. I also won't be responding much to people who try to start things with me, I will just block people. I just don't have time for it, if your polite about it I will most likely have a discussion with you.

Writer Interview Game
hee fun, thank you for the tag, @eraserspiral!
When did you start writing?
blah blah blah been writing stories since I was a kid blah but honestly I'd say I legitimately developed an interest in writing fiction when I was around 13. you'll never guess this but I was on the jr high literary magazine and I wrote a sweet lil 13yo romance story where a marine biologist verbally abuses a dude who hits a dolphin with his boat and then he gets them both to the emergency vet and then it turns into a meet-cute. I used the word "dumbass" in the story and my teaching advisor let it slide and it was published with the swear intact. it was a whole thing.
Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?
I read all kinds of things I don't especially want to write. a lot of nonfiction and investigative journalism, memoirs, literary classics a la Virginia Woolf. no interest whatsoever in writing it but it's good reading.
Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?
there isn't like a specific writer I aspire to write like, but I have historically been compared to Neil Gaiman, which is very flattering. mostly I admire the writing chops of Laini Taylor for her beautiful lyrical imagery and dreamlike framing, Carmen Maria Machado for the way she blends horror elements with life, queerness and emotion, Christopher Moore for his incredible humor writing, and (surprise) Neil Gaiman for his approach to speculative fiction that feels so accessible and tied to the real world. like you could turn over a rock and find an entire magical world you never knew was there.
I don't necessarily want to EMULATE them but I have been influenced by them, for sure.
Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?
I write on a laptop curled up in the corner of my couch with noise-cancelling headphones on and am frequently interrupted by pets, a spouse, or children. which is why I tend to write late at night.
What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?
sit my ass down and start typing. like I know that is not romantic or fun but part of writing is that I have to get into my flow state, and I can't do that by dicking around doing stuff that isn't writing. it can be really, really hard. sometimes it'll feel like shit. but I do it anyway.
something that helps me a lot is putting on the headphones and listening to mood music or a dialogue video to kind of kickstart my brain into the creative space.
I also do a weed. doing a weed relaxes my inner critic. sometimes.
Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?
sibling relationships tend to feature prominently. I have several siblings and sibling dynamics are fascinating to me. there also tend to be themes of self-sacrifice, choosing love (romantic or platonic), and messy but ride-or-die style friendships.
What is your reason for writing?
I feel compelled to put the movies playing in my head to the page. it brings me joy to transcribe my weird ideas and give them form.
Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?
when people tell me they've come back to reread something I wrote because it stuck with them. that's like. wow. what a feeling. what a motivator.
How do you want to be thought about by your readers?
I try not to think about how other people think about me if I can help it, which I often can't, lol. but mostly I hope readers (and people in general) think of me as someone who tells emotionally resonant stories that make them smile or laugh.
What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?
dialogue. expressing an emotion succinctly on the page.
How do you feel about your own writing?
I'm in a pretty good place about it these days. I write both professionally and for fun, and what I do in this space is my fun time. I can let go, be experimental and weird, not overanalyze every single word, and make something for/with a community that I really enjoy.
When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely for yourself, or a mix of both?
a mix of both, I guess? mostly for myself, honestly. I write the things I would enjoy reading. I write the smut I would find hot. I write the jokes that make me laugh. but I also love giving little winks to readers and letting them know that they're part of the experience, too.

Ye Olde Introductory Post
Hi all! I'm Evie, I use she/her pronouns, I'm 24, and I wish I was 3 inches tall. As you may infer from that last line, this is my g/t blog. If you don't know what g/t even is, here's a great post explaining wtf I'm rambling about. If that's what you're here for, great! This blog is going to be a mix of my original writing and art as well as reblogs from other amazing community members in the g/t community (of course).
If you'd like to know what to expect more specifically, keep reading.
What type of content you can expect (and not);
A lot of fluff, angst, and romance. Occasional darker themes and content (more on that under content warnings in a minute), but nothing that's intended as kink content nor explicitly sexual. I'm ace and gt is not a kink for me (no hate to people who feel otherwise though!). I mostly just write and draw things that interest me, from original works to fandoms. Occasional v.ore mentions, I'm not super into it as a thing overall so there's no actual v.ore but the potential is a fun horror/angst trope like "Oh no man eating giants (but they're not)" or "friendly giant is sad bc everyone thinks he's a man eating giant". Regardless, any such mentions will be in content warnings so you can avoid easily. Or find easily, whichever lol. Maybe occasional horror adjacent stories, I write non gt horror on occasion so who knows. Will also be included in content warnings if you're just here for the fluff. Finally maybe occasional "suggestive" content - nothing actually sexual and always between consenting adults but I write romance so there might be a "behind closed doors"/"fade to black" scene at some point. Again, will also be in content warnings. I think that's everything I can think of for potentially objectionable content that might show up; for more on content warning system keep scrolling. If I write something that begets updating this section it shall be updated.
Content warnings;
All of my original works have content warnings at the top for any content I think might reasonably need to have a warning, including swearing, injury, angst, fearplay, etc. I'm additionally planning on, moving forward, adding tags for each content warnings so people that would like to filter by tag can do so as well. If you're planning on sticking around and there's a content warning I'm not currently using but you'd appreciate being used (eg, specific phobias, certain words, etc), let me know via ask or message and I'd be happy to add it! Tumblr and the gt community on here is thankfully small enough that I can reasonably do that
DNI;
Minors!! This is a sfw blog, if you want to follow that's fine BUT I'm in my mid twenties, there's no reason we need to be interacting beyond that. In fact, if you're a minor and you're reading this, be suspicious of any adult who feels otherwise tbh, it's not a good or safe standard to set.
Anyone promoting or subscribing to any kind of bigotry, including transphobes, homophobes, racists, etc
Exclusively nsfw/kink blogs, I'm ace and have trauma and would prefer to not interact. If you just have NSFW content amongst other content this doesn't apply to you, my thought process is just if ur blog is exclusively kink based/NSFW I don't have what you want here and you don't have what I want there so we don't need to interact further lol
Pedophiles, abusers, etc. I have no idea why this sort of person would follow a dni anyways but you will be blocked if you're posting things sexualizing minors or encouraging pedophilia or abuse or it comes out you're messaging kids or something because wtf.
Organization;
My master post for writing and art is here
About me;
♡ I go by Evie
♡ pronouns: she/hers
♡ age: 25
♡ im autistic
♡ im a tiny (in my dreams)
♡ tv shows I like: Loki, Criminal Minds, Scooby Doo (don't get me started)
♡ favorite genres: horror or romance. Polar opposites (except when it's both at once. Love a good Gothic romantic horror. Hate a dark romance tho)
♡ favorite artists: fleetwood Mac, lord huron, hozier
♡ other assorted interests: nature, national parks, spooky season, BEING 3 INCHES TALL

MHA 430, no real spoilers to the ending but I'm also discussing my au ideas under the break too so that's why I tagged spoilers and added the bar, because there's a variety of spoilers.
That was fine I guess, could've been worse... Sad no dfo but I kinda gave up on that being good 10 chapters ago. Insert Thanos I'll do it myself gif.
5.5-6/10.
I'm gonna start my analysis + reread on Saturday I think?
Here's thoughts I already have:
- Reduce amount of students in 1-A. I realized that I can't handle 20+ main characters lol. My original idea was 5, but I've got it down to 10 by fusing characters. Izuku, Aoyama, Uraraka, Shoto, and Bakugo remain the same. I'm going to review the fusions and draw them later...
Fusions:
Sero/Kaminari/Kirishima (Reason: I get them mixed up a lot.)
Iida/Momo/Ojiro (Rich kid + I like Ojiro)
Jiro/Tokoyami/Shoji (Characters with a "dark vibe" ((emo lol)))
Mina/Tsu (I'd feel bad having one and not the other)
Koda/Sato (Honestly they're here because they're the ones I think of when I think "they got shoved aside" as well as Ojiro but I like him more.) ((... Also combine their names and you get Soda....))
Most likely to be cut: Ojiro, Sato, Koda, Sero
Cut: Mineta (Obvious reasons), Hagakure (I couldn't think of anything)
I swear there's logic here but I'm unable to explain it better lol. I'm eepy.
- Bakugo will be expelled from UA in the first arc, perhaps that'll be the conclusion of it. Possibly return in a later arc, I'm thinking the vigilante arc? Minor character. Basically a starter antagonist before the stakes ramp up.
(Results in the same amount of students as OFA users! Which I think is a nice parallel.)
- First arc will be about the class bonding since I really wanted more 1-A bonding scenes. Mainly about them helping each other. (I. E. Izuku opening up about being bullied, the class helping Shoto with the Endeavor situation, etc.) Bakugo's role will be getting in the way of this. Minor antagonist.
- LOV shouldn't be introduced until after a bond is established. Sorry Shiggy my beloved, you must wait.
- All for One dies in Kamino equivalent. (Unsure of how to set this up w/o Bakugo, maybe Midoriya's the one kidnapped?) Sorry AFO I love you so so much, but I'm killing you off. You're op as hell and the kill should be All Might's. You can come back and possess people later if you're good.
- DFO will be there as well as reducing the role AFO played in Shigaraki's backstory. Increase the role in Midoriya's life (negative).
- Aizawa will have a bit of a tweak, he'll be less physically violent with the students. (Less scarf grabby, only in extreme circumstances) Also I think having a lasting injury from the Oboro incident would be a nice touch. Give him a House MD vibe with a cane??? God I fucking loved House. Gay and homophobic, what an icon.
- Eventually I want Endeavor to go to prison or face some form of consequence. Maybe death. I was also thinking about him being tricked into helping AFO out of desperation for that number one spot. Bakugo takes his place for redemption arc?
- I don't really want to kill Midnight off... Or Twice... Or like. Any of the LOV. Need to think about that... But I know Twice's death was very important, so I might have to get over it somehow.
Not saying there won't be death, it just has to make more sense to me.
-
Wrote most of this at 2 am lol so this is probably incoherent. It's not a critique of the series, it's just my idea for the au. Like I get that classes have like 20 people in them. And that characters die. That villains die even if they're children.
I think if I plan this in arcs, I'll have the best chance of finishing it.

Hi!! I was looking through the relationship charts, and I was wondering, why does Halek hate Mimir? (I swear I triple checked because I thought I'd gone blind, but that's definitely a bright orange arrow pointing at Mimir 💀) I tried looking through the 'feelings about' tag but couldn't find anything about Halek and Mimir, so apologies if that question has already been answered! Thank you very much, and have a really good day!!
Hi there, it has been answered somewhere, but if you already checked that tag, I'm too lazy to go hunting myself! 😂
(Edit: Actually, just kidding, it was answered here! Still don't blame you though, it's not easy to find! 😂)
Essentially, because Halek views his life as having been unfairly governed by a prophecy that he adamantly doesn't believe in and heavily resents, he's not a big fan of Mimir, self-proclaimed Seer and prophetess, who regularly issues dubious-sounding claims about the future with the caveat of "but it may not come true because there are lots of different potential futures and I just happen to see all of them" and stakes a lot on her identity and ability to tell others their futures. She's just an unpleasant reminder of everything he roundly dislikes and rejects about his life right now, so while it's not really her fault and it's not technically personal, he does not like being around her or even in the same room as her. He doesn't outright comment on this much, so no one's really noticed, but yeah, he pretty much hates her lol and thinks she's a shyster.
Thanks for the question, and I hope you're having a great day as well! 😊

I was tagged by @pintsizeninja. Thanks for tagging me!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
2345. That's what happens when you've been posting since 2016 and don't study or have a job for health reasons so you've got nothing better to do than write fic. 😂
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
2,682,156 words
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently it's Alan Wake and Control, with occasional dips into Dishonored and sports anime like Haikyuu.
4. Top five fics by kudos
All of these are old (like over 6 years old) and I'm not that proud of most of them (especially the HP one because fuck it). But they're popular for some reason, so here they are!
Healer - My Hero Academia
The Boggart - Harry Potter
NSFW OTP Challenge: Erasermic - My Hero Academia
"Keep breathing." - My Hero Academia
The Date - My Hero Academia
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try my best to, because I really appreciate every comment I get.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Let's stick with Remedyverse fics for this question. In that case... I'll pick:
Five Times Ilmo Hugged his Brother (and the Time he Didn’t) - because for spoiler reasons, we all know why Ilmo doesn't hug Jaakko at the end. It's otherwise a fluffy or hurt/comfort fic until the end and then bam! Angst!
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Again, sticking with just my Remedy stuff... let's go with:
The First Step is Always the Hardest - from my Ahti/Norman series.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I have done in the past, to the point I've needed to block them on ao3. Just the other day, I got a transphobic hate comment on an old fic. Luckily, it hasn't happened with my current fandoms.
9. Do you write smut?
Quite often, yeah.
10. Craziest crossover?
It's more an AU than a proper crossover, but recently I wrote an Alan Wake fic set in a Zero Escape AU.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
A few times, yeah. It was super flattering to be approached with the offer to translate my fics!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope, and I'm not sure I'd want to.
14. All time favourite ship?
All time? Hmm... let's go with my faves for my current fandoms, plus a few I've written a lot for in the past/think about a lot:
Ahti/Norman MacDonald - Alan Wake (my incredibly niche rarepair that I love a lot)
Jesse Faden/Emily Pope - Control
Amity Blight/Luz Noceda - The Owl House
Micah Bell/Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption (I like enemies-to-lovers and redeeming utterly hateful characters lol)
Kozume Kenma/Hinata Shouyou - Haikyuu
15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I've got a half-written oneshot for Critical Role somewhere in my drafts that I never finished. It's about a character getting hit with the Feeblemind spell and the others looking after him.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I like to think I'm good at dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I really struggle with fight scenes.
18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
If the character drops dialogue in a different language in canon, it only makes sense to do it in fic too. Case in point: the amount of Finnish idioms and swear words I've learned because of Ahti.
19. First fandom you wrote in?
This would've been way back in 2012 when I was 13. On fanfiction.net, I posted (really cringy) fics about The A-Team.
Although, techinically, the first time I wrote a fic was when I was 6. I didn't know other people did it and I certainly didn't share it. But I've got an old story (and illustrations) in a notebook from like 2005 when I wrote about Charlie and Lola, a British kid's show.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Just sticking with Remdyverse again... currently I'd choose:
Episode - part of my autistic Odin series. It's angsty, but also has lots of protectiveness from Tor and Bob being a good friend. i just really like writing about the Old Gods at the moment and I'm especially proud of this one.
Tagging: @quailfence, @koskela-knights, @taniushka12, @hamyheikki and anyone else who wants to do this!

Questions for 15 Friends Tag Game
Tagged by @corishadowfang ^^
Rules: Answer the questions, then tag 15 people.
ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Not that I know of. I think my middle name was after someone but, if that's the case, I don't know who.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
This weekend watching Days. That game breaks me every time.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Nope and don't ever plan on it.
WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?
Uhhhh, none.
I tried out for the basketball team twice in elementary school but didn't make the team either time. That school, and especially the coach, had it out for me though (I am neurodivergent had behavioural issues so they didn't let me do much).
If it counts, I was on the Improv team in middle school. That was a ton of fun and I would've kept doing it into highschool if the teacher who was in charge of the competitions didn't retire (no one stepped up after that)
Other than that not really anything.
DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Oh definitely. I grew up in an incredibly sarcastic household lol
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Uhhh, I haven't really thought about it...
Probably hair? That's how I tend to recognise most people, which is most definitely unreliable (thanks for that brain lol).
Shout out to that one time my friend got a drastically different haircut than usual, didn't tell me, and I didn't recognise her until she spoke to me lol
WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOUR?
Brown.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Definitely happy endings. I have absolutely no tolerance for scary things.
My pour soul got nightmares so easy as a kid I wasn't allowed to watch Scooby Doo because it would keep me up at night lol
ANY TALENTS?
I'd feel weird saying anything artistic, because honestly I consider those skills more than talents (since they're something I actually work towards improving and not something that I can just do for some reason lol).
So alternatively, I think my talent is simultaneously have the worlds worst and best balance. Like I can fill up a cup completely (and I mean completely, there's a meniscus and everything) and I can bring that up to my mouth without spilling a drop, but at the same time, there have been several occasions where I have fallen out of chairs while doing nothing but colouring. I can walk across a completely rounded balance beam (like curtain rod look and size) eyes closed and backwards, but walking I'm tripping every other step.
I can also quack like a duck so convincingly I've tricked hunters lol
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
I'm not entirely sure...
Somewhere around the southern Quebec-Ontario border I think?
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Drawing, animating, reading, writing, and playing video games (and doing stuff for local theatre productions if that counts).
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?
Yes, currently I have a dog, Neve. She's a Golden Retriever-Labrador mix and she's very strange.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My brother also has a cat, but she lives in the basement and I never see her lol
HOW TALL ARE YOU?
I couldn't tell you the last time I measured my height, but I'm only a bit taller than my mom (4"11 and a bit), so probably 5"-5"1.
FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?
Chemistry.
I love chemistry. I love balancing formulas. I love the experiments and demonstrations (even if when I was doing them I kept burning my hands... I swear I was being careful I'm just cursed lol). I love learning about all the elements properties and stuff. The math isn't awful (like in physics). And it makes me feel smart.
DREAM JOB?
My dream job is whatever I have to do to be able to make my own show (my current plan is making an indie studio) and also being able to make a living off of doing tables at cons.
I'm actually slowly but surely working towards both right now. A lot of just saving and planning at the moment but I'm getting there.
Gonna start applying for grants soon-ish, so wish me luck lol
I don't really have 15 people to tag so, uhh, open tag I guess lol

20 questions for fic writers
Thank you @marypsue for tagging me! (I'm sorry it is so late) This got VERY long, so I will put it under a cut.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
54, my god.
2. What’s your total word count?
188,134. Which seems both enormous and not enough lol.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, I'm in a major Hatchetfield kick. Those musicals have me by the throat. But I am also working on a Stranger Things series too! However, I'm probably most known for my My Hero Academia stuff, I know a couple of those absolutely did numbers when I wasn't looking.
4. Top 5 fics by kudos
Oh I'm pretty sure I know. *checks Statistics* Yep I was right. My top five (and six and seven) are all from my Truth series, which is a MHA Dabihawks AU where Hawks joins the League of Villains.
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try! Sometimes I get overwhelmed and fall behind but I swear I always read them and love them and am so touched.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Ummmm... Deadass, I think it was the first fic I ever posted, back in high school. It was a Doctor Who fanfic, about a Weeping Angel who feel in love with a human, and tried to stop killing for him, but was so hungry she ended up killing him instead. It's almost ten years old, but you can find it here.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I am once go back deep in my archives for this one. Back in 2015, I posted a Supernatural fic that was pure fluff, Karaoke. It was my idea of a series finale where everything was beautiful for once. Riiiiip.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I definitely have before, but only like once or twice and I immediately blocked them. It is always heartbreaking though. :(
9. Do you write smut?
Once that I posted! Though I may have an unfinished draft or two, lol
10. Do you write crossovers?
Yes, absolutely! My crossover tend to be characters experiencing scenarios from other universes, rather than character meeting.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Mostly by the AO3 scraping stuff, though I have found some suspicious posts with stuff from the Truth series on other sites, but nothing really definite.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes and I dropped my phone when the request came in. I was so excited.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yeah I have!!! My go-to partner in crime is @little-engineer-who-cant, we've been writing together since middle school.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Oh god, this is hard. Ummm... I suppose the first ship I ever really super got into was Ten/Rose in Doctor Who, so it holds a special place in my heart.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
Honestly, one I really loved was an Adventure Zone Wicked au. There were a lot of great concepts in that one, but I never really got anywhere with it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue! I love dialogue. It tends to be what I write first and then I go back and fill in the blanks.
I feel like I'm also pretty good at exploring concepts, like, taking things to their furthest extreme and exploring what it means in the universe.
Also angst. I love angst.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Descriptions. I just want you all to know what I am seeing in my head, not have to describe it. I really have to work at imagery, and making scenes feel alive.
Also fuck fight scenes.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
I would do it if I felt confident that I or another person could edit it to be accurate. If I am google translating or something, I'd rather just do English italics or say what characters the language are speaking. I don't want to butcher another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
As mentioned previously, the first fic I published was for Doctor Who but god as a kid I wrote myself into stories all the time! Should have known I'd end up a writer. Probably Yu-Gi-Oh or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
Ohhhhhh these are so hard. Ummmm... To be honest, I am so incredibly proud of I Need a Shovel to Love Him. It is one of my recent Hatchetfield fics and is an exploration of grief, and it probably the closest a piece of writing has ever been to exactly what I pictured in my head when I wrote it.
But! Trying to ignore the bias for recent works, So Few Men Can Carry It is probably up there. It is an OC focused story in the Truth universe, and I loved discussing healthcare in a world with professional superheroes and plan to do more original stuff with that concept, because I love it so much.
I'm going to tag @little-engineer-who-cant again, as well as @snarky-wallflower and @starpirateee. (Does anyone else like to be included in these? I need to make a list!)

[INTRO POST]
Tumblr media
sup y'all gamers alike - i'm FROSTBITE THE BAT and this is my blog!! thought i'd make one to spare some time n all LOL. you can ask me things, and i KNOW you want to !! (can't help but want to, considering my sheer amount of swag)
so ask away, i will happily answer. fair warning though: if you're annoying i will bite you, if you're mollymawk i will bite you, if you're graham i will bite you. brian DNI i know where you live
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
to the LESS INFORMED about who I AM lemme introduce myself real quick. SO, AGAIN, i'm FROSTBITE THE BAT but you my friends can call me the creature that haunts the corner of your eyes. I LOVE EXPLOSIVES. COG GO BOOM. COG GO BOOM. COG GO B
you may see me around sellbot hq. i chill there with cathal and spam usually - but to the cooler ones of you, you might've seen me on high roller's high roller. like the WHOLE ASS co-host. i'm cool like that. and to the LAST group of people who may recognize me - i'm the guy behind the desk at pace place. always working hard so deserving of a raise (wink wink nudge nudge pace please i want a raise) (playing flash games takes energy dude give me a raise i will explode)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[[OOC:]] Hi! This is the ask / RP blog for Frostbite The Bat, my TTCC sona! If you want to talk to me, and not the character, speak to me at my Toontown blog (@cathalbravecog) or my main, (@frostbite-the-bat).
Tumblr media
Frostbite will reblog art from me and fanart from others, and other things they may like and want to reblog - so you may see some of that! This is not only an askblog for them - this is THEIR blog.
Also, Frostbite will not go out of their way to interact with somebody unless I know the person behind it personally. You always must interact with them first! This is because, as stated on my Toon blog, I don't go out of my way to interact with people first in general. So you won't see them initiating conversations with other ask/RP blogs.
While staying close to canon - Frostbite still has their own "canon" tied to my and my friend's lores and other silly things around our Toons. Other people's Toons and THEIR relationships with other Toons and the Cogs will be mentioned, so that's a heads-up in-case Frostbite ever mentions, for example, Mole's relationship with Graham and Flint.
ALSO!!! Toontown is kid friendly, however this blog is not! Frostbite WILL swear A LOT and crude-ish jokes are not completely off the table. And btw, yes, Frostbite IS a cog. They're not the most consistent with if they want to hide that on this blog or not.
Tumblr media
Rules are a subject to change!
Sillyness is encouraged! But please try and be respectful, don't bring personal things and discourse into this - RP stuff is okay! Frost has beef with other characters, some that goes deeper than it seems. But also keep in mind Frostbite can be a rather rude character.
Frost will reply with just text, reaction images, doodles, re-used pieces of art, and brand new pieces of art from time to time! Please do not ask them things in hopes of getting your response drawn. It depends on what I think is funny to reply with and if I'm in the mood to draw.
If I don't answer your ask, please don't spam it to me again. I either ignored it for a good reason - or I am working on a more detailed response!
Again, be respectful and mindful of boundaries I or Frostbite may set. As long as I don't make a statement, though, feel free to annoy them a little bit, it's funny. If a line's crossed I'll let 'ya know!
NEW RULE!! After some thought, magic anons are no longer allowed! You can still give things and throw pianos at Frost, but changes for a certain amount of asks are not allowed anymore - for my own well-being since this is for fun, and having M!A's makes me want to draw for every ask received, even when not needed.

ART REFS!!!

I think you're
A kid
chuuya coded /j. you're very sigma + atsushi coded. plus a little dab of chemical X (nikolai humor as per your own words)
very nice. I saw you reblogging someone's post and leaving rlly kind/encouraging words in the tags.
fun to talk to, funny, kind, genuine potato 🥔
I think you really like mashed potatoes 🤭
You remind me of my other friend named Julienne 😭 (I swear if it turns out you're her, im gonna kms /j)
You've got artistic potential ✨
Kinda scared that you're the type to keep it to yourself if something bothers you (its cause of my other friend, sorry 😭) <<< if something bothers you, let them know, ayt? Your feelings matter lmao. Your feelings COME FIRST.
I hope you have fun and good friends at school/work cause you deserve it 💅💖
you've carry the group projects 💅 (usually the vice leader if not the actual leader. That OR you're a really helpful member who makes sure to contribute)
go finish that sigma rabbit analysis lmao. 🐰🐰🐰 /j
I think you're very rabbit coded too (in a way. Not going to elaborate lol.)
I'll never get over the fact that you compared yourself to a kid with a leash 😭😭
xoxo,
your secret admirer 😏
(̶J̶K̶ P̶L̶S̶ D̶O̶N̶T̶ C̶A̶L̶L̶ T̶H̶E̶ C̶O̶P̶S̶)̶
...WHY ON EARTH DID YOU WRITE AN ENTIRE ESSAY'S WORTH OF THINGS ABOUT ME. Actually, I'm flattered but also confused about the amount of effort you put into this.
Technically you are correct, but I will still fight you on this >:(
Htgsgs how dare you say that🐕.Yeah, I'm the Atsushi type heh!
You'd be right! To quote the wonderful Vash the Stampede- love and peace ✌️! I just like knowing I made someone smile or a bit happier<3
...I swear you're trying to kill me. But thank you! I'm surprised this name has stuck and just became my thing but it's kind of cool🥔 I hope all of my mutuals can never see potatoes the same again.
Htgsgs mashed potatoes are really good. But in all actuality my favorite food is Alfredo or any sort of pasta!
Your friend sounds awesome then. I hope she torments you irl as much as I do online! (Ooh hold on is that the same friend who thought you were texting a crush and you had to explain tumblr to?)
Aw ty! That was the first sketch I've done since forever. Hair is hard. And eyes. And faces. And... you get the point. I do want to improve though, so I'll keep trying.
I'll keep that in mind! And no worries, honestly the fact that you care about me enough to say that is really comforting. (Hah I'm attached to you now, it's all going downhill from here)
Thanks! I hope the same for you. My friends are awesome! They're the ones who also get to see my Nikolai side so it's fortunate they stay/j. Fun fact: I'm one of the giggliest people alive, so it's way to easy for them to make me laugh.
I could never be the leader lol, I don't have the confidence to tell other people what to do. But I'd say I'm the vice leader.
But that involves work... and effort... Actually I plan to get to it at some point. I'm impressed people are actually curious (aka I didn't plan for people to actually want to see my reasons, woops)
...Yeah I can see it.
THAT WAS ONE JOKE! Hstgs actually I'm glad you liked it. But if that's how you envision me now I will be sure to invoke all sorts of pain upon you🥰
I'll see you in court wakanai🫵 (I'm joking I would never do that to my fedya. If we go to jail we're doing it together!❤️ )
Xoxo, you're favorite potato<3
Sorry this took so long to write! And thanks a lot for all of the kind words, you have no clue how much I was smiling while making this.

Alrighty, #BlurbTuesday coming in just under the wire! Since I wasn't able to write anything this week (it's been a BUSY one, y'all) you get a sneak preview into a series I'm writing! This may or may not be exactly how it turns out later, but I thought I'd use this moment since I'm pretty proud of it. Stretching those dialogue muscles!
Warnings: reader has a nightmare, helmet is off for a second, emotions lol. This doesn't really need a rating but, as always, the whole blog is 18+ ONLY. Love y'all. 💖

How do I tell my husband I want to watch Triple Frontier but not for the plot?
Do I lie and just call these men "the plot"?

Might have to.

Hands
Tumblr media
Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 2.9k
Rating: Explicit, 18+ ONLY (Minors DNI)
Excerpt: "You’d thought about the Mandalorian in that way a couple of times. In the quiet of hyperspace or dark nights on deserted moons, the idea of… Propositioning whatever man laid beneath the beskar seemed like an okay idea. But once the stars stopped blurring through the windshield or the sun rose on your camp, those thoughts evaporated like morning dew and you were left with a hollow feeling—more than a little lonely."
Warnings: When I say 18+, I mean 18+. Unprotected sex (wrap it up, folx!), language, fingering, blow job, cursing, light choking, hair pulling, pretty unedited, just plan on a cold shower afterwards and probs don't read on the work wifi.
Summary: Mando's gone, the kids asleep, and you're bored. And maybe feeling some other things, but you've never had a problem taking care of those things on your own. And just when you start thinking it'd be more fun if someone else was helping you out...
A/N: SMUT. I mean, ahem, smut. It's all smut. Maybe a little fluff but 98% smut. Today is Pornhub's 15th anniversary (don't ask, shut up) and the 45th anniversary of the beginning of Star Wars so I put it all together as an excuse to get SPICY. 😂 Thank you so much to @creatively-analytical and @peetiespetals for beta-reading and giving me feedback, love you both SO MUCH. 💖 As always, love you all. Come say hi and let me know what you'd like to see!

Back with another late night Blurb Tuesday. I've been really feeling like ass the last few days so have some self-indulgent comfort from our favorite Metal Man. 💖
No real warnings here, reader is sick and Din comforts her. Calls her "sweet girl" and there's mention of brushing back hair but not a lot of description past that.

My #1 post of 2022
I wish you'd write a fic where...
Either Din or Poe pretends to the readers fake boyfriend at a bar/crowded place. To get rid of unwanted attention, they swear. That's the only reason.
😉
Oh well twist my arm. 😍
Tumblr media
Pairing: Din Djarin x fem!Reader
Word Count: 2.3k
Rating: T, I think, but the whole blog is 18+ NO EXCEPTIONS
Excerpt: "Without saying anything you leap into the thick of the rabble, knowing Mando would follow you. The last months of working together had built an understanding between the two of you. You move, he moves. He jumps, you follow. Like your favorite book, you knew exactly what was going to happen when Mando went out into the world and he could rely on that consistency from you as well, all without either of you having to utter a word."
Warnings: Canon typical violence, a grabby guy at a bar, some unspoken feelings, mentions of alcohol, just a hint of angst.
Summary: Hunting with Mando is a great time, but why do people keep trying to hide in bars?
A/N: This lil fic was requested by @creatively-analytical and is also 1000% dedicated to you, my love! I figured your birthday was as good a time as any to answer this! Here's a little protective!Din fic, dedicated to you. I'm SO HAPPY you exist and I'm so thankful our paths crossed. LOVEYOUSOMUCHHAPPYBIRTHDAY

The Stranger The Better (FNAF SB fanfic) C5 - The Plot Chickens
Read the intro to Chapter 1 (Enter A Sleepy Bitchard) for more details! I'd start reading there anyways else things won't make a whole lot of sense lol
In Summary: Reader is a forever exhausted young adult who has social difficulties doing their best to pay the bills, so when they get hired at the well-paying, almost entirely automated Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza-Plex, they don't really hesitate to think things through before stumbling headfirst into a horror mystery surrounding this company and its crew of quirky (and surprisingly kind) animatronics.
Things To Know (lmk if I should add anything, also check the tags for more stuff):
There are some horror elements in several chapters! This particular chapter isn't too spooky.
Eventual romance, minorly important to the plot.
Reader has paranoia.
There is much swearing.
Reader is also addicted to energy drinks, and not fantastic at self care.
Reader is nonbinary (and also trans masc) though it's not vital to the plot and only comes up once or twice.
Reader is from the south, is protective of their friends, and if you threaten their friends then I'm afraid you've yee'd your last haw and yes that is important to the plot
Previous Chapter | Chapter 5 | Next Chapter
C5 - The Plot Chickens
     You had memorized your punch in code at last. You’d almost used the code you clocked into your deli job with a few times now while clocking in. You snatched an energy drink from the mini fridge and set out on your route.
     Almost immediately, you ran into the bear bot, who’d been strolling by towards the hall with all the rooms.
     “Hey… man. How’s it hanging?” you asked. You still did not know this bot’s name.
     “I am just taking a stroll to clear my thoughts. How are you, superstar?” The bear bot smiled kindly at you.
     “I’m tired. But not for long.” You took a long sip of your energy drink. “Hey, I wanted to ask you something, if you’re not busy?”
     “Ask away!” The bear took a very casual stance, conveying a very open and unhurried attitude.
     “So… are yall allowed to leave the building?” You had more questions, but wanted to start with that one first.
     “If we need to, sure. But we never really need to.” The bear shrugged.
     “But do you want to leave from time to time?”
     The bear paused, studying you quizzically. “I’ll admit, I am curious about what is outside the pizza-plex. But if anything were to happen… it is just too great a risk.” The bear shook his head.
     “I mean. I think you’re sturdy enough for a walk around town, dude.”
     “Perhaps,” the bear mused.
     “So yall don’t get paid. Don’t get days off. And I get the feeling you’re all generally discouraged from leaving the building.” You paused, studying the bear’s reaction. You couldn’t gather much, so you continued. “This seems… like, bad. Like… if yall want to have lives outside of this place, you should totally be able to.”
     “I… appreciate your concern, Y/N.” The bear gently pat your shoulder. “But you don’t need to worry about us. We’re not human like you. Things work differently for us. It’s not like we don’t like it here either, each of us finds the day to day responsibilities to be very rewarding and meaningful.”
     “Hmm.” You squinted suspiciously. This still didn’t sit right with you. “Listen… if yall ever decide you wanna form a union or something, I’ve got your backs.”
     The bear smiled. “That is very kind of you, superstar.”
     You left the topic alone for now and wished the bear a good night, managing to not awkwardly call him ‘bud’ again.
     You got halfway through your rounds (and all the way through your energy drink) before you ran into someone else. Luckily, it was Chica, who seemed friendly enough towards you.
     “Hey Chica! How goes it?” you greeted.
     “It’s going good, I was just on my way to parts and service. A kid stuck a Mr. Hippo magnet on my eye today and I accidentally damaged it pulling it off.” Chica pointed to her right eye, which was dim and stationary, staring straight ahead while her left eye looked down at you.
     “Aw man, I’m sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do?” you asked.
     “Would you mind escorting me, actually? I keep bumping into walls and things,” Chica said sheepishly.
     “Of course! I can do that.” You pulled out your map. You quickly realized that this was still a guest map and did not display parts and service. “Uh… I actually don’t know where it is. I’ll just walk along with you and steer you away from any walls if necessary,” you said.
     “Okay!”
     You offered Chica your elbow like a gentleman would for a lady. Chica giggled and graciously accepted, gently setting a hand in your arm.
     “Why thank you!” Chica smiled and began walking, you falling into step with her. “I’m surprised you don’t know your way around by now. You walk around every night.”
     “Well, I don’t know about every employee room and whatnot, I’ve only got a guest map,” you explained. “I’ve got all the guest areas down pat, though.”
     “So you’ve never been in any of the access tunnels or anything??” Chica asked.
     “…Access tunnels?” You raised an eyebrow. You did your best not to freak out over the realization that you, a security guard, had not known about these tunnels.
     “Well, you’re about to find out.” Chica slowed as you neared an ‘employee’s only’ door. Your watch unlocked it without issue just like all the other employee doors. You held the door open for Chica, then stepped in after her.
     “Oh.” You raised your flashlight and approached the railing of the stairs you were standing at the top of. You peered down the industrial metal steps with disdain. “I see they saved money in the budget by sparing some expenses in places people don’t usually see.”
     “Yeah, its usually just us animatronics back here. Usually we just use the tunnels to get to parties and events on time, since guests aren't allowed back here. The access tunnels lead to every room in the building, as well as some employee only areas. The storage warehouse, the security room, parts and service…” Chica trailed off. “Can you help me down the stairs?”
     “Oh! Yes.” You lead Chica to the stairs, telling her precisely when she reached the edge of the platform and watching her footing like a hawk as the two of you started down the steps. “Is this stairway OSHA approved??” you questioned, frowning as you realized the metal stairs were more rust than anything else. It was dusty as well. Clearly no one ever cleaned in the access tunnels.
     “What’s OSHA?” Chica asked.
     You explained as you got into a rhythm, making your way at a decent pace down the steps. “Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Basically, they assure safe and healthy working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance. OSHA's workplace safety inspections have been shown to reduce injury rates and injury costs without adverse effects to employment, sales, credit ratings or firm survival.”
     “You sure do know your stuff.” Chica looked at you curiously with her one good eye.
     You shrugged. “You learn a lot of really weird stuff when you’re a writer.”
     “You’re a writer??” Chica gasped. “Have you published any novels? What kind of stories do you write?”
     “I’ve published a few little short stories online, no novels yet. I write all sorts of stuff, fantasy, sci-fi, surreal, a little bit of horror, little bit of romance. I do tend to lean more towards fantasy though. That’s what I grew up with, ya know?”
     “I see!” Chica nodded. “Would you ever write me into one of your stories??”
     You smiled. You got that question a lot after telling people you were a writer. “Sure, I’ll have ya make a cameo or something. You’re a very cool character so it shouldn’t be hard.”
     “Aww that’s sweet!” Chica smiled.
     The two of you reached the bottom of the stairs, having passed several tunnels leading different ways on your way down. You noted a security camera in this darkened corridor. You suddenly recognized this hallway, having checked it over dozens of times on your watch. The unknown cameras suddenly clicked into place in your head. They were here, in these dingy access tunnels. No wonder you couldn’t figure out where they were in the building, you hadn’t even known the tunnels existed until tonight.
     “I’ve got my work cut out for me, it seems… I’ll have to memorize the layout of all these tunnels,” you mumbled. You passed different corridors and rooms, supply closets and electrical closets and generators, as well as exposed pipes and grimy posters about safety hazards.
     “You’re really taking your job seriously, huh?”
     “Of course.” You paused. You’d been a little worried that you hadn’t been doing it well enough, especially now that you’d realized there was a whole network of tunnels you hadn’t been checking. But it wasn’t exactly your fault if no one told you anything, right? You didn’t remember management sending you any emails about routes to take or where to patrol. You hadn’t even been informed about the security room. “Would you mind showing me to the security room once you’re all fixed up?”
     “Sure! I’ll return the favor and escort you. Although the security room is really boring. There’s just lots of monitors and stuff in there. It’s where Vanessa usually spends her shift,” Chica said.
     “That’s the other guard, right?”
     “Yep! She does walk around sometimes, but I get the feeling you’re a lot more diligent than her.”
     “I see…” So Vanessa just checked the cameras during her shift. Maybe you were going a little above and beyond, intently checking every little nook and cranny on your rounds. You realized you’d been holding onto a little bit of stress, trying to do this job as best as you possibly could. You took a deep breath and let it go. You weren’t going to stop being diligent, but you were going to stop worrying about whether or not you were doing enough.
     The two of you arrived at last at parts and service, which was equally as dingy as the rest of the network of tunnels. The room was quite large and circular. A complex looking enclosed machine situated over an impersonal metal table sat in the center of the room. A few desks were positioned haphazardly nearby, holding computers and dusty cardboard boxes and scattered papers and pens.
     “What a fuckin mess,” you grumbled.
     Chica went to the computer and booted it up, the dull screen struggling to illuminate the surroundings. Chica ran some sort of automated program, and the machine in the center of the room powered itself on. Chica situated herself on the metal table and gave you a thumbs up. “This will only take a minute,” Chica promised.
     “Okie dokie.” You stood to the side and checked your watch. You recognized the positioning of several more cameras now, though you’d yet to locate all of them throughout the tunnels. Everything looked good, so you turned your attention to the desks and idly began cleaning things up and organizing. You pushed the tables you could move against the wall, collected and tapped all the papers into a neat stack and set them on the desk with the computer, which you hadn’t been able to move, as the computer and the monitor were massive and had several thick cables running from it to the machine and the wall as well. You started moving boxes, stacking them neatly under the desks against the wall.
     Unfortunately, one of the last few boxes had gotten some sort of suspicious fluid on it, and the bottom half of it had gotten soggy and rotten. The box fell apart as you carelessly lifted it, spilling its contents all over the floor.
     You cursed and tossed the nasty cardboard aside. You eyed the items on the floor, deciding to just pile them all on one of the tables. The contents were odd, you realized, as you started gathering things up.
     A box of candies, all wrapped in shiny blue paper. A pair of plushies, sharing Moon’s likeliness. A nightcap that looked just like Moon’s, if much older, the colors heavily faded. A pair of pants, also resembling Moon’s pants, also faded. A curious pair of red ribbons with little bells on the ends. Last but not least, a big chunky key. An odd item, in this massive complex of automation and fancy watch scanning technology.
     You glanced over at Chica, who was still laying on the table, unable to see you around the machine. You pocketed the key. It felt important, like something you needed to advance in a video game. The dungeon boss’s key… Or something.
     You finished cleaning stuff up and had just finished neatly folding the weird clothing items when the machine finally powered down and Chica got up.
     “Ahhh, much better!” Chica blinked both eyes. They were both lit now, and both moving together. Chica smiled at you and winked with her repaired eye.
     “Eye am glad it went well!” you said.
     Chica rolled her eyes, but smiled. “Common, I’ll show you where the security room is.”
     Chica offered her elbow to you. You laughed and took it, letting Chica lead you out of parts and service and down another confusing series of corridors and halfway up a different stairwell. Partway down a narrow hall was a door labeled ‘Security Room’. Your watch allowed the two of you access.
     “Here we are.” Chica waved grandly at the small room. “Dusty filing cabinets and ancient computers! How exciting.”
     You eyed the filing cabinets. The keyholes in the cabinets were all far too small to fit the massive chunky key you’d found. You frowned and looked over the desk next. The office rolling chair pushed under it was incredibly worn, and there were lots of coffee rings staining the surface of the desk. An array of six monitors were positioned over the desk, each flipping to a different camera in the complex every couple of seconds. The monitors seemed to be grouped by general areas.
     There were a few cardboard boxes in here as well, as well as a few clearly forgotten cleaning supplies and a first aid kit. The floor looked old and scuffed. there were several scrapes along the linoleum to the right of the filing cabinet on the end. There was a little red tool bag under the desk, as well as a space heater. An old fan sat in the corner of the room.
     “Well. It’s good to know where this place is at least.” You shrugged. You noted the important things to keep in mind for later- the tool bag and the first aid kit could both be found here.
     “Shall I escort you back to the main building?” Chica asked, already halfway out the door.
     “Sure, thank you.” You were already formulating a plan in your head to do your rounds quickly tomorrow night and spend the rest of your shift exploring these access tunnels. With a small break to say hi to Moon, of course. Speaking of, you were looking forward to seeing Sun again tonight. Maybe you could even ask him about the weird Moon-themed stuff that had been in that box.
     Chica and you split ways with friendly goodbyes once you were back in the low neon light of the main building, leaving the grimy access tunnels behind for now.
     You checked through the cameras, pausing at ones you didn’t recognize to really study what you now knew were the access tunnels and their adjacent rooms. You finished your sweep of the building and made a beeline for the daycare.
     The doors were open when you arrived. You walked right on in, spotting Sun immediately. He was gathering and tossing colorful plastic balls into the ball pit, hunting around for more.
     “Hey, Sunny!” you greeted. “What’s up, buttercup?”
     “Y/N!!” Sun straightened in delighted surprise, then took a running start and crossed the entire width of the ball pit in a glorious leap.
     “Woah!” You were thoroughly impressed by this feat, but quickly shook it off. Your held your arms out, ready for a hug.
     “A hug for little old me!!” Sun exclaimed, crossing the distance in no time and sweeping you up in a tight hug.
     You pat Sun’s back. “Course, I love hugs. You give really great ones.”
     “Aww! So do you!” Sun set you back down and did an excited little dance. “How was your day?? Tell me all about it, even the boring bits!”
     You smiled. “Well, I worked kitchen again today. It wasn’t too busy today so it wasn’t bad at all, closed right on time. Hence my more presentable appearance tonight.” You chuckled. “Got a few new oil burns though. Stupid hot and spicy wings are so slippery, its hard to drop them carefully into the oil…”
     Sun gasped and immediately took your arm. They peered at the tiny splotches of burned skin, making concerned noises before pulling out their first aid kit.
     “Aw, look, it’s alright, I get burns all the time. They’ll fade by tomorrow, its no big,” you tried to say, but Sun would have none of it. He dutifully dabbed burn cream on each little spot, doing the same with the other arm as well.
     “There, all better! That wasn’t so bad, now was it?” Sun put their first aid kit away.
     “I feel like you guys pull that kit out every time you see me,” you joked.
     “I know! You need to be more careful,” Sun scolded gently.
     “Bahhh.” You waved him off. “But yeah, had a friendly little chat with that bear guy, and discovered that there's actually a whole labyrinth of secret tunnels in the building. Chica showed me where the security room is, don’t tell anyone I didn’t know about it till tonight.” You laughed awkwardly. You rambled about the access tunnels for a minute, explaining that you were helping Chica get to parts and service, before you finally got to what you wanted to ask. Sun listened patiently and quietly, occasionally making little affirmative noises. “-And then the box fell apart, of course. And there was some weird stuff inside I wanted to ask you guys about.”
     “Oh?” Sun tilted their head.
     “It looked like Moon’s stuff? Like, old clothes, old plushies of him, some candy that’s probably discontinued and expired, these little bells on ribbons. Is that, like, old nostalgic stuff Moon put in storage or something?”
     Sun had gone completely still. “…Or something.” Sun’s hands started fidgeting. “When Moon was… when I became the primary daycare attendant, they… well, we thought they threw out all of Moon’s merchandise and things, but it looks like some of it found its way into storage.”
     “Oh.” You frowned. “They just… took their stuff? Yall didn’t know about it…?”
     “Don’t you worry, sunshine! Moon is very happy to know some of his things are still around. Thanks for letting us know!” Sun became animated once more, swaying and smiling happily.
     You said nothing.
     “…Y/N?” Sun looked concerned.
     “I’ll be right back,” you stated, then promptly left the daycare, leaving a confused Sun behind.
     It took you a lot longer than you would have liked to find your way back to parts and service. Luckily, you spotted yourself on one of the cameras through your watch and puzzled out the general area around you by flipping through the closest cameras.
     You returned to the daycare, arms full of everything that had been in that box. Well, almost everything.
     “Here. Moon’s stuff. It belongs to him,” you said, holding out the bundle to a shocked Sun.
     “Oh. I… we… thank you.” Sun carefully took the items. “Thank you so much.”
     You nodded. “Its Moon’s stuff. Belongs to them. I know you can’t leave the daycare and I wasn’t sure if the stuff would still be there tomorrow, so… yeah.”
     Sun studied you for a moment. He gently set down the bundle of Moon’s stuff on the top of the cubbies nearby, then pulled you into another hug.
     “Thank you,” Sun said again.
     “No problem, sunflower. You don’t need to thank me, though.” You hugged Sun back regardless.
     “Well too bad!” Sun said, releasing you. “Thank you thank you thank you!”
     You laughed. “Twas my pleasure.” You did an awkward little bow.
     Sun returned the bow, much less awkwardly. “Enough about Moon, though! It’s my night tonight! You can talk all about Moon tomorrow with Moon. I’m sure he’d love that.” Sun rolled their eyes.
     “Right. What’ll it be tonight? Another game? I let you off easy at hide and seek last time, don’t expect the same again!”
     “Ahh yes, of course you did,” Sun teased. “I was actually hoping you’d be up for reading another one of your adventures to me??”
     “Oh yeah, alright.” You smiled and pulled out your phone. You quickly checked the cameras before relaxing and locating the next entry in your adventure log. “Alright… okay, so this is when I took a flight down to Florida to visit my aunt. She’s a very cool and wise lady.”
     Sun nodded excitedly, bouncing in his seat.
     You started reading, encouraged by Sun’s endless enthusiasm.
     ‘The flight here was surprisingly not as long as I thought it was going to be… I guess time flies when you’re on an airplane.’
     Sun giggled.
     ‘Ok but seriously, despite having to navigate an airport the size of a city, the flight to Florida wasn’t bad. But boy are my arms tired!’
     Sun laughed. You smiled and went on.
     ‘Anyways. Flight was delayed a bit by weather. Actually got to see a few lightning storms from above on the way here. That was cool…’
     You recounted your aunt picking you up from the airport, and her list of activities she had planned. You told Sun about the delicious cookies you’d eaten for breakfast, and the little adventures you and your aunt went on around town. You had pizza, looked at a greenhouse full of tiny plants, talked about your life, and your romantic life (and lack thereof) and saw some trains. You paused to briefly explain your fascination with trains, just something about the idea of leaning your head against a window as the countryside rolls past, and the impressive transportation machines themselves, the look of them and the complexity of all their parts.
     You went on, scrolling to the next day. ‘The day starts with Bok Tower, aka the singing tower. When I say the place was serene, I mean that in my 20 years of existence upon this Earth I have never felt more relaxed than I did sitting alone on a bench in an open field overlooking the orange tree grove with the soft melodic bells of Bok Tower filling the air around me.’
     “How lovely…” Sun whispered.
     ‘Living is worth the experiences I gain in return for my continued existence.’ You paused, hesitating. You explained, “uh, I’ve got depression. And anxiety. And paranoia. And… jeez, a lot of stuff. I used to struggle with it all a lot more. Not as much these days. These little adventures really helped. And therapy.”
     You cleared your throat and continued. ‘I write stories in the car. There are moments when nothing exists but the universes I create and the characters within them… Next we visit a chocolate museum.’
     You told Sun all about the kind tour guide who laughed like a friend and all the delicious free samples you’d gotten to eat at the end. Then you recounted a few more little adventures, searching an IKEA for a pot for some tiny cacti your aunt had bought (you did not find an adequate pot), a funny bumper sticker you’d seen on a car, and a neighborhood full of peacocks, followed by a stop for delicious ice cream. The next day, you’d gone to an art museum, where you had taken more than enough photos. You went to a pottery studio, watched movies, and had been subjected to your aunt’s interrogation of what you had thought of said movies.
     Your last day of the trip was very laid back and full of good food and better company. Your aunt passionately explained the plot of ‘Phantom of the Opera’ to you in great detail, much to your entertainment and joy. You planted the cacti in a pot that arrived via delivery, and you watched more movies.
     ‘I pack for my returning flight. I don’t want to leave… I’ll have to come back when the weather isn’t trying to roast me alive.’
     You exhaled and put your phone away. “And there you have it.”
     “I love that one so much!” Sun sighed happily. “Your aunt sounds so kind and amazing.”
     “She really is.” You beamed. “I love her a lot.”
     “I can tell! It sounds like the two of you had lots if fun! Ooh and that singing tower sounds so magical…” Sun got this happy dreamy look on their face.
     You smiled. You felt something that luckily didn’t take too long to decipher. Fondness. Not that you knew what to make of it or do with the emotion, now that you knew what it was. You tried your best at a compliment. “Thanks for listening to my silly little adventures. You’re a cool friend, Sun. I like hanging out with you.”
     “Thank you for sharing your adventures with me!!” Sun leapt up and wrapped you in another hug, lifting you off your feet and swinging you from side to side. “You’re a very cool friend. Moon and I are very lucky to have you in our lives.”
     “Aw, hush!” You laughed, pleased with this response. “Thanks.” Success, you were getting a good grade in friendship, something both normal to want and possible to achieve.
     Sun set you down and gave you a little pat on the head. “Would you read me another adventure next time? Maybe we can even make a habit of it??”
     “I only have so many adventures,” you said.
     “Then you can read me your stories when you’ve read all the adventures!”
     “Oh boy,” you laughed nervously. “We’ll see about that. I’ll read you another adventure next time, though. Which, actually… won’t be for a couple days. After tomorrow, I have the next two days off.”
     Sun pouted and slumped over. “Awwwww.”
     You rolled your eyes at Sun's silliness. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back to bother you before you know it.”
     “You’re never a bother, dear,” Sun said.
     You checked the cameras. Everything still looked alright. “I’d better get back to my rounds. I’ll see you soon, alright?”
     “…One more hug before you go?” Sun asked, flashing those puppy dog eyes at you again.
     “No need for the eyes, silly head. Come here.” You held your arms out.
     Sun hugged you tightly, squeezing you a little before finally letting you go. “Have a good night, Y/N! Moon wants you to get some sleep!”
     “Thanks.” You smiled and waved as you departed.
     Your head was swimming on the drive home. You had a lot of questions, and a lot of… feelings. It was all troublesome for your tired brain to unpack and sort through. You thought about Moon’s box of belongings. You thought about Sun and how unfalteringly kind they were. You thought about Chica, hoped her new eye was working out alright. And your conversation with the bear bot, and how you still felt weird about the whole situation with the animatronics. You weren’t sure what to do about it yet, though.
     In the back of your mind, underlying everything else, was the key sitting heavily in your pocket.

you mentioned in the tags of this post that you think Gar and Jane would have been chaotic besties, and I would love to hear any headcanons or thoughts you have about those two, if you'd be open to share? Or I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on Gar and Jinx if you'd rather talk about that
(also! hi! we haven't talked but my teen titans blog is bilingual-beast-boy. it's really great to find another blog who loves gar :) )
hi! thank you for the ask,, I love talking about my hcs for Gar and his relationships with other characters lol
for Jane (if she was in the Titansverse that is), I can't imagine she was very happy when she learned Chief brought a kid to Doom Manor and that it was his next "save" because they all know what it really means when Chief "saves" someone. He probably caused their accident and now is gonna use/treat them like an animal.
Ya know, "not being very happy" is an understatement. Jane would be PISSED. She's extremely protective of children because of what happened to her. And then here's the Chief strolling back into the manor with some sickly, terrified-looking thirteen year old boy with green hair at his side, that he informed will be living with them now. If that didn't make her upset, learning that Chief completely stripped this kid's humanity away and turned him into something beyond science's understanding, ruining an innocent kid's childhood, sure would make her want to put her fist through Chief's face.
I can see her threatening Chief too, telling him if she finds out he's been using Gar as a lab rat or gets his gross hands anywhere near him for anything besides check ups on his powers, she'll bash his face into the pavement.
since Jane is permanently in her 20s, she'd be the member closest to Gar's age (13 at arrival) so she takes up the role of big - probably.. maybe.. not the best influence - sister, who makes sure Chief stays the fuck in line.
Out of all the Doom Patrol's powers I always thought Gar's matched Jane's in a sort of way since he also has a bunch of different beings living inside him that are able to affect his thoughts/actions. They're just animals with their own feelings and thoughts instead of differently personalities.
and since Gar went years without having his powers, he was very overwhelmed and scared when they started giving him animal urges and the animals themselves began to communicate with him in their way. Because only Jane could put herself in his shoes, understand how he was feeling- at least a little, she was the one to help him quiet all the voices in his head and teach him how to live with it since his powers aren't going anywhere.
For the chaotic hcs:
-Gar's favorite swear of "bullshit" he picked up from Jane. She said it A LOT, especially to Cliff. Like she and Cliff will be arguing about something, Jane will end it with "That's such bullshit, Cliff. Fuck off, you metal dick!" before leaving and Gar, who was in the room, has to add "It was bullshit, man", which makes Cliff snap at him with "Don't you start, you little shit!" and then Gar follows after Jane with a dumb grin on his face.
-Jane taught Gar how to sneak out and very much encouraged him to keep doing it with a "Niles can go fuck himself, go out and have fun" and would add "If you need me to buy you a 6 pack or anything else, I will" which Gar always declined. When Gar started filling his room with stolen stuff and Jane found out, she just gave him a fist bump, telling him "Keep up the good work, your room looks sick". then suggested easy places to steal from.
-And speaking of sneaking out, Gar would often follow Jane when she'd leave Doom Manor and join in whatever she was doing.. sometimes. If what she was doing is something he's comfortable with, he'll join, but stand and ignore it if he wasn't.
now onto Jinx, there isn't as much as Jane but I can see her getting a kick out of messing with people but gets annoyed when she can't get under Dick or Rachel's skin, so moves onto the softie Gar Logan, sure she'll be able to bug him. Surprise, surprise, she can't bug Gar because Gar is also secretly just as chaotic as her and isn't bothered by her jabs at all.
So instead of Jinx seeing him as someone to mess with, she lowkey sees him as a teammate and lets him add his sarcastic comments and jokes after hers, which gets on Dick's nerves.
If they went on a duo mission, something would probably be caught on fire or blown up, even if by accident. Like Jinx would call Nightwing, tell him "Hey Grayson, something happened on our mission and now we're stuck in an elevator" and in the background Gar is laughing his ass off because he's the reason they're in that situation. If something chaotic and dumb was gonna happen on a mission, it'd be to them. Neither Gar nor Jinx have the best luck.
While Rachel and Tim are investigating the proper way, Jinx would be spray painting "if you're evil and a part of a cult please call this number, I wanna join" on a building's wall while Gar helps.
Dick and Kory wouldn't like how Jinx is influencing Gar and Rachel would be jealous (in a "hey, wait, that's my best friend" way, not a romantic way) Gar has buddied up with someone else to joke around with instead of her.
if Gar was a villain, he and Jinx could absolutely be partners in crime tbh so i'mma add Jinx to the list of villains Gar would vibe with, right below Poison Ivy, who's definitely number one.
sorry about the wait! This was so much fun to write! also I love your Beast Boy blog!! It's always nice to meet someone who loves Gar as well 💚

I've decided to watch MacGyver from the beginning (again), and I'm live tweeting the experience with every tweet tagged with #savemacgyver. I thought it would be fun to share my collected thoughts from the episodes on here as well.
My Thoughts on S1E2, "Metal Saw"
Seriously love the music in this show!
THE FREAKING BELT GRAB. You can tell they've done this kind of thing before.
I always love it when Jack and Mac have heart-to-hearts in the middle of super intense, dangerous situations. Like... it's sweet, but time and place, guys?
"Hi, I'm Jack." Nervous Jack is bebby.
Ew, sweat. Like, I know it's "realism" to have sweat stains on clothes in situations like these, but that's one bit of realism I can always do without. Gross.
Is that a bit of PTSD I'm seeing with Mac there on the couch? That's a kind of realism I can always get behind.
Riley finding Mac and Boze in that compromising position will never not be funny. "But he was on top." I love Riley more every episode.
Riley is a really good liar from day one.
I love the joke about ex-cons benefiting from being in relationships with stable people (i.e., fake boyfriend Bozer), then the immediate cut to Bozer with his whole arm inside the vending machine. Great stuff.
Love the Riley and Bozer bonding... right up until the cringe-tastic "Slide me your digits."
"Soon, I'm gonna woo you the same way Romeo would have wooed Juliet if they had Snapchat back in the Renaissance." Bozer and his surprisingly accurate pickup lines. The Renaissance did in fact start in Italy around the 14th century, when R&J is thought to take place.
I love all this psychoanalyzing of Mac. "Adapting is his survival mechanism." Also I'm living for Jack sticking up for Mac to Patti.
"This place has been searched by everybody and their dog." Is this a Texas thing or an old guy saying? Either way it's great.
Nothing beats the early days of Mac and Jack. Nothing. I wish we had gotten more interactions where Jack has to parent Mac: "Stop touching that. Look at me." ❤️❤️❤️
Jack so concerned about Mac and putting on the kid gloves = everything I could have ever asked for and more.
Jack has such a big heart. Poor guy, the look on his face when he sees that the reporter is actually Sarah...
Paperclip sculptures: When I first started watching the show, I thought they were lame. Now I miss them so much. Does that mean I've gotten lamer or that they were always cool and I was always lame?
"Closest time I ever came to coming home in a box." Oof. This line hits different now, and not in a good way.
I just love how Jack is this big tough ex-Delta who is so open about his emotions, particularly with Mac. And the way Mac reassures him... Their bromance is top-tier.
"Oh, like when they invented fire!" Another zinger.
Mac grabbing that giant cigar right out of that dude's mouth 😂😂😂
Love some good fight-scene Mac whump! 👏👏👏 And bar fights are always a blast!
Riley with the car door - such a boss. "What? You told me to stay in the car, and I did."
I've seen some people say they don't like S1 Mac's hair. I kind of dig it, to be honest. He looks like he's 5, but I love it.
Mac has made a lot of DIY cutting torches in his time, but they never get less impressive.
Jack trusting Mac to save Sarah while he keeps watch is just *chef's kiss*!
These early episodes have so many MacGyverisms. One right after the other. It's awesome.
I've never been a big fan of the dark either, Mac.
The first scene with Mac and Sarah is so beautifully tense and whumpy (he way he scrabbles for purchase, gasps for breath, that hitch in his voice as he tries to squeak out Jack's name) that I had to rewind and watch it again.
The hopeful disbelief in her voice: "Jack Dalton came for me?"
Sarah can kick some serious ass. I can see why Jack likes her. Too bad she's about to lead him on the rest of the episode, while actually having a fiance...
Sarah: *leans out of car, shooting her weapon with deadly, terrifying precision* Riley: I agree, this woman should not have kids. 😂 Everything that comes out of Riley's mouth is gold.
Riley asleep in the back of the car while Mac sits quietly and Jack and Sarah have a sweet moment is like mom and dad with the kids in the backseat. Except mom has a fiance and hasn't told dad yet, even though she's had ample opportunity.
Because seriously, Sarah. It's not that hard to tell him the truth. Giving him those big eyes and flirting with him, thinking he has a chance is just cruel. I have never liked her character, and this is why.
Mac and Jack giggling about Jack's crush on Sarah like middle-school girls is life.
"You're just gonna have to let that go." Man, I love their relationship.
Gosh, the scene where they find Luis always hurts so badly. These early episodes did not play around.
"There isn't always time to beg some suit back home for permission to do what's right." I'm not a fan of Sarah, but I love this line. Also, this is pretty much the synopsis of the whole show.
Riley's hair used to be so LONG! 😍
The loyalty of these three! And I love the OG trio so much.
This sleazy guy in the computer place makes my skin crawl.
Love how Patti's like, "Mac will be back by then." Not Jack, not Riley. Just Mac. Can we say teacher's pet? I actually lowkey love this though.
"Who is this guy?" Much like Doctor Who's "It's bigger on the inside," I never get tired of people being equally amazed and confused at the stuff Mac can do.
I've never been the biggest car chase junkie, but Barrios jumping over the car using that log in the road is pretty dope.
Sarah's rage is chilling. And Jack talking her down breaks me every time.
Again, I love the loyalty of our team. Everyone sticks up for each other, ending with Mac's totally unbelievable but still somehow 100% genuine "It was me. I forced them." TOO good.
First mention of Oversight this early. Just thinking about who it is that doesn't like unsanctioned ops just makes me 😤 I wonder if the writers knew who OS was at this point or if it was a later development.
I do wish we could have gotten more conspiratorial, approving Patti. She's so much better than expressionless, bland Patti.
The way Sarah never told Jack about her fiance Jeff (who is in fact a cinnamon roll but still a discount Jack) pisses me off. "I tried to tell you." Yeah, right. It's not that hard to say, "Yo, I'm in a relationship."
Jack NEVER should have found out about Jeff the way he did. There's no excuse.
It's not okay, Jack. She did you wrong. You didn't deserve that. Stand up for yourself, man. Gosh, he's so broken here, and I hate it.
"At least we have each other... Don't look at me. I know how weird it sounded." THESE TWO I SWEAR 🤣🤣🤣
Poor Mac. I do love how we get his obsessive tendencies so early in the show, and how they keep coming back, even as late as season 5. As someone with clinically diagnosed OCD, this makes me feel seen and I love being able to relate to my favorite character.
Love the found family antics at the end. Riley and Bozer making dinner while Mac and Jack play basketball? Perfection.
Lol, Bozer calling Riley a "caramel goddess" has such Schmidt/Cece vibes from New Girl, and I dig it!
Ew. More sweat. I know some people find sweaty men attractive, but that is NOT my vibe. I prefer my men clean and freshly laundered.
The way Riley glances back over her shoulder at them as she walks away, as if to make sure they're really there, that this is actually real!!!
"That's not even... that's true, actually. That's sad." Jack 🤣 Also, "I'm hungry." Big mood.
As a Grandpa Harry stan from the OG show, I eat up any mention of him in the new one. I just wish we'd gotten more of that wonderful man in the reboot. Still, I'll take what I can get!
I'd honestly forgotten how much I enjoy this episode! So solid, full of bromance, found family, and lots of good-natured bickering. Can't wait to watch the next one, hopefully tomorrow! In the meantime, please keep fighting for our show! Together we can #savemacgyver!
If anyone wants to join me in my re-watching and tweeting adventure, please do! It's my way to take about an hour a day in my busy, busy life to commit to the #savemacgyver movement. (And to enjoy my favorite show yet again!) If you do tweet as you watch, make sure to tag EVERY tweet with ONLY #savemacgyver so we can keep that hashtag trending! :)
Thanks for letting me share my (numerous) thoughts on this episode. This was really fun, and I hope it's something you all enjoy, too. I'd love to know what you all think of the episode in the comments! ❤️
