#legit can't tell what the tone behind this ask is and I low key love it for that reason

What inspired you to make a random character who was on the screen for probably less than a minute, into a c*ck loving sl*t on skids? Just curious?

LOL I can't tell if this was written as satire or with genuine intention but it's a wonderful phrasing of the question, either way!

Technically, the inspiration was gradual.

I've been writing World of Cars fanfiction since 2016 if you can believe it (cuz I don't, lol), and from that starting point, Nick - among others - was depicted VERY differently. I was a lot of things a few years back that I'm not now, and the first time I started writing him he was a straight-arrowed smooth-talker with no romantic underlines with Blade at all.

I didn't even start toying with the concept of PWPs and sexual content within fics until 2020 (which, if you take a gander at the information listed in my bio, you might suddenly understand, yknow, why. Simple math lol) and Nick's "evolution" for lack of a better word sprouted as the flag bearer of that new era of content creation.

Thus, once there was a foothold, there was just no stopping the man.

(Side note, there's also the other side of the question of why he's bisexual/craves le cock, and for that resoning, I will simply point my blame to ObsidianJade's "All Hallowed" where the BladexNick ship was first introduced to me and leave it at "from that point on I was addicted")

Between 2020 and now, I've thrown Nick at a lot of things. Mostly dicks. But most of that came to be through a series of dabbling into new pools of ideas and a slow introduction to each using the same character.

Looking back, I think "Props to the Proppies' 'Something In the Water' " chapter is the main culprit of having started to run into the deep end.
