December 2023

I decided to make a list of every fic I read each month.

I would like to interact more, but life has been complicated recently and when it comes to interacting, I get very anxious which is something I'm trying to overcome.

So, here I made this to appreciate such amazing writers and stories that inspire me and others everyday. To the authors, I want to thank them for their dedication and time spent on writing to offer us fascinating stories.

I totally recommend their work.

(If you are in this list and you don't want to, please let me know so I can fix it).

My favorite fictional man needed a best friend so I made one for him💛

[numbuhinfinitys]

RKFDTR + Reyna Headcanons

Dynamic:

Teaser/annoying/flirty + tired/angry/cold

Headcanons:

💖 They would probably first meet eachother when the RKFDTR were sent to another boarding school, and Reyna was sent there for a solo mission to get all of the kids out of there that didn’t wanted to be there.

💜 Reyna would not really pay attention to them since there were a lot of kids she needed to bring out of that boarding school.

🖤 When Reyna finds out they've been 'Caramelized' she becomes really worried [and slightly angry] of what happened to them, caring for them for the next 9 days.

🤍 She needs to get used to their 'Caramelized' state, it being sometimes fun with them causing a bit of chaos to let some steam out, but mostly its just teasing her or being annoying and sometimes a little flirting.

💛 Mostly sticks by Leon [if she can] bc she knows he has abandonment issues.

🧡 Gives Connie tea, coffee, soda, sweets, etc. if she's busy.

💚 Reyna will be a bit surprised to see that Father, or Gaurdian as this is now his name, is also 'Caramelized', and even though she doesn't like him very much, she helps him sometimes with chores around the house and will make tea for him.

💙 She can and will pick Brutus up, even if he struggles to get out of her grip, because he won't get out of it. But if his Acrophobia [fear of heights] starts acting up, she will set him down.

��� Clings to Davis' upper body to play with his hair because it looks floofy to her.

💕 Reyna will steal Alex's kitty shirt and will hang on the chandelier if she finds out so she can wear it longer. [don't ask how she got up there]

Thank you to my lovely moot, @artsygirl0315 for giving me permission to make headcanons about them and Reyna :]

Got my inspiration from @kommandonuovidiavoli and @kandykatz

[Reyna's not Caramelized in these headcanons]

[pistachiozombie]

Would Leanna and Lenny get along? I feel Leanna could warm his heart, just make him a flower Crown

(old art) your innocence is admirable LOL unfortunately they would probably want to eat them. Fallout and LotR is such an interesting but dangerous mix, they would not survive long i don't think...

[arti-squid]

Yall remembered my fanboy and chum chum brainrot in 2020? Ahaha that was crazy....anyway

[palesmokeisinthevoid]

Even more fankids while I still have freetime because I love these guys

Fancy little kids. They like playing dress up. I’m going to be honest I don’t have much to say about many of the kids because most of them have not existed in my mind for long-

Jewelry box children! Little cuties.

Bentobox kids! These ones I actually have some stuff on. These two are twins and they couldn’t be anymore different. Benny is distant, he doesn’t exactly talk a lot but when he does it’s always in short sentences that are incredibly blunt, he isn’t exactly a people person. Meanwhile Lenny is a lot more talkative but she is incredibly nervous about everything she does.

Midnight Tragedy! The second oldest of the kids (first is Lofty). I made this guy a bit more recently than all the others here (except Gage) so I don’t have much on them yet.

[twstnettle]

HOHOHO TIS I! YOUR SECRET SANTA 🎅

Cometh here and tell me all about your OCs Lenny and Sabine!

This Santa would also appreciate it if Santa was told about these... A-yous? A-yoo? AUs??? you speak of.

Feel free to go off on a very detailed tanget about any of them as your Santa here needs to fufill the Santa duty of giving presents out to good people! And you, Nettles, have been a wonderful person this year!

Ooooh!!! What a fun message. Thank you Secret Santa :,) you are very silly and sweet. I’ve been granted permission to go on a detailed tangent about my babies? [exciting jingling] let the clownery begin

Cater and Lenny - Friends -> best friends -> roommates -> lovers

♦️ Cater wishes for a best friend at starsending and Lenny shows up the next year/she wished for the same thing on a shooting star at home. When they meet, they hit it off right away

♦️She won Beans Day by using the shrinking potion to get to the size of a bean and then Cater launched her from the bean gun straight at the harp. After that, they’ve been best friends and he started calling her Lentil as a joke, then eventually just Lenny and the nickname stuck. (I LOVE beans day, probably one of my favorite events)

♦️ Cater's arc is learning vulnerability and being honest about himself and what he wants/doing things because they make him genuinely happy, not because of a persona he's trying to create.

♦️Lenny is someone who makes herself at home everywhere she goes, comfortably eating snacks on a bus or buying a plant for an apartment she'll only live in for a few months. And that's something Cater admires, since he's always had one foot out the door.

♦️When they are together he leans into her way of doing things: getting comfortable, being in the present, and enjoying life regardless of how it will look to an outside observer. She is just looking to be understood, and finds comfort in Cater who embraces her for who she is, even tho he has a hard time doing that for himself

♦️After NRC, they get an apartment together, where Cater realizes it’s not so bad to open up to someone and want them to be there for the rest of your life. And eventually he’s ready to admit how he really feels about his best friend.

NUTCRACKER AU:

I absolutely love the nutcracker and Cater’s new playful land outfit is SO nutcracker coded. There’s not a lot of substance to this one, just the joy of the ballet aesthetics + cater’s cute little outfit and the two of them dancing together

(Gorgeous stunning jaw dropping Comm by Blueastrum on the right)

(Another Gorgeous stunning jaw dropping Comm by Blueastrum on the right)

Leona and Sabine - Bickering labmates -> study partners -> dating -> she returns to homeworld to not be a burden (and becomes a lawyer 🔥) -> Leona has to team up with malleus to visit her and tell her she's worth it and if she wants to come back, she has a home with him (in the "if she says no I'll be happy just to see her one last time" way) -> she returns to twst

---

����Sabine and Leona are lab partners and they do NOT get along at first, she’s always demanding more from him. She is everywhere he looks, the botanic garden as a volunteer, Spelldrive practice where she brings Grim every morning, and all over the halls. Even though he complains, Leona finds himself looking forward to seeing her more and more and starts showing up to class just to see her.

🔸Was a pre-law student in college getting ready to take the LSAT when she got isekai’d. She’s an activist and willing to break rules if she believes it’s for the greater good

🔸Besties with Malleus who tries his best to get Sabine and Leona together, but Leona is always ready to fight Malleus so Sabine has to be their mediator

🔸Sabine's arc is that she's hyper-independent and doesn't want to be a burden but Leona encourages her to lean on others, including himself.

🔸Sabine realizes she has POTS which causes her fainting spells and days where she doesn't feel great. Leona uses his lazy reputation to get her to rest more, under the guise of skipping class for his benefit

🔸Leona wants power partly because he likes to be a leader and partly because he believes it is intrinsically tied to his worth as a person Vs. Sabine is someone who wants power to help other people and wants to make the world better. She makes Leona realize his self worth outside of being a prince/lion/etc. and also makes him believe he *can* change his world for the better and he has a lot of respect for her

🔸Leona would traverse universes for Sabine and he'll make it everyone else's problem. (He'll make Ruggie carry his extra jacket around all day if he think Sabine might get cold and need it later, etc.)

PIRATE AU:

🔸Leona in his pirate fit, Sabine in the Elizabeth Swann red dress. Pirate captain Leona can’t stop bickering with Ms. Sabine Yuusef, the only one on his ship smart enough to match his wit and brave enough to call him out. Eventually, he leans on her for help outwitting the giant sea witch Azul and they start hitting it off. When Sabine gets lured away by two sirens (Floyd and Jade), Leona will go to the ends of the earth to get her back.

🔸He IS ultimately successful and the two go on to co-captain his feared pirate ship, sailing and being in love and all that

FALLEN ANGEL AU:

🔸 The second son of the kingdom of heaven, sent back to earth for re-education. He is assigned a human to guard, but he really plans to use the human as cover while he carries out his true plan to overthrow the kingdom and usurp his brother for the throne.

🔸 He’s been assigned the aspiring lawyer and activist Ms. Sabine, someone too good for this world���in Leona’s opinion. He finagles his way into her life, sleeping in her apartment and eating her food, under the guise of guarding her and she falls for his ruse—especially on account of her fainting spells. He makes the mistake of falling for his assigned human, when he finds out that she’d be denied entry to he kingdom of heaven for crimes she committed, even if they were ultimately for the greater good of humanity. And Leona decides he’d rather tear down the walls of heaven to get her in than live in that world without her, so he risks everything for her.

🔸 Every time he breaks a rule of heaven, he accumulates more blot, so he starts with lightly blackened wings and eventually his wings are pitch black and heavy and unusable. And he succeeds in getting her through the golden gates—at the cost of his own return—letting her live a life of paradise that he won’t be able to return to.

As a request, I LOVE when Cater and Leona have alternative hairstyles: ponytail, hair down, that sort of thing. Also I just love Cater/Lenny and Sabine/Leona so for the secret santa, any part of either of their stories would probably make me combust /pos

Thanks for reaching out! Ily!

There’s a lot of examples in the tags for both of my babies <3 And if I missed something or you could use more info (or, to my shock, want to hear more!?) this askbox is always open!

[penny-petite-official]

Basic dance outfits!

I haven’t colored them all in but let me know what you think so far! :]

[blackpensils]

Still can't get over my art block, so instead have all of the fake comic covers I made for my Hereafter AU in a somewhat chronological order. Maybe I'll even share the unfinished sketches I have in my folder one day, too.

[meet-the-artist]

So you remember that Rose Quartz Korrie design I made over a year ago? Well I made it better

In hindsight, I should've made her skin a lil more pink but, eh. Rose Quartz had a more human skin tone so I ain't too worried about it.

I've got a little "prototype" design and some notes under the cut

Loved the rose jacket but it was a lil too busy

Major design changes!

-I changed her weapon to chakrams cuz I thought it'd be neat and fitting, given Korrie's playful nature! I haven't seen chakrams as a gem weapon like ever so I thought it'd be cool. I thought giving them the ability to split would be helpful in close combat scenarios.

-Changed her gem location to her navel cuz I thought it was 1. Cuter. 2. Putting her gem on her navel draws your attention to her belly, which is a part of her design that I love And 3. Just thought it suited Korrie a bit better than one on her thigh. I really honed in on the cowboy theming. I like making Korrie wear chaps when I can cuz I really like them. Also roller skate cowboy boots are really fun.

Okay, Lore time

-So a TF2xSU AU exists, @lenny-link is the creator of the AU and I love it a lot! I just wanted to mention that before I rambled about Korrie :)

-Korrie came from a small Quartz kindergarten in West Virginia.

-That quartz kindergarten was meant to have various rose and red quartz. They were made to either be soldiers for Redmond or for the Administrator. For what reason, I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure if this fully lines up with what Lenny has planned for this AU either.

-Point is, Korrie was one of the best gems to come from that kindergarten. Every single gem from that West Virginian kindergarten was either overcooked or undercooked. None of them made proper soldiers. Almost like this was a BETA kindergarten...

-Korrie was overcooked and was the last one to emerge from the kindergarten. She was alone and confused but was found by a group of miners. They didn't know what to do with her but didn't see her as a threat.

-Fortunately for Korrie, she was unofficially adopted by a family of farmers. She'd prove to be useful and they'd keep her around for as long as she wanted but hardly any gem issues arising.

-Eventually she'd go off on her own to find other gems. She's never met another gem and she's always wanted to find someone to understand her.

-I haven't figured out how she'd get involved with the mercs but I do think she'd meet Scout first since they're both on Earth and they'd immediately click with one another

That's all I've got! But I do really like this AU and plan on drawing some fusions involving Korrie and some of the other mercs! I hope y'all enjoyed this post!

[numbuhinfinitys]

Hey! I have a question: how do the Delightful Children react when Reyna gets hurt? Especially if it was by one of Father's allies like Cree or Mr Boss…

Reyna rarely gets injuries [bc of her GKND fighting skills], but when she does, she doesn't really want to get them involved

But the DCFDTL think otherwise, and worry if she goes on one of those dangerous missions.

[IDK WHY I DID THEM LIKE GOOBERS- XDD]

Raina's reference sheet + some extra information

Name: Raina

Gender: Female

•Half infected

•Has a sort of mentor and apprentice relationship with Guardian (this was also a big part of her original lore. I decided to keep it because I found it cute, but Guardian is going to be much less serious than he used to be lol)

•She got her scars from Lake Dipsy and Storm

•Had a crush on her friend Storm. It's a bit complicated.

•She often has nightmares of Storm.

•She tries to be optimistic, but she still has doubts.

•Kind, but violent.

Backstory:

I'm not all that sure where Raina would've lived before the apocalypse, but I imagine it was a house she shared with Storm. When the apocalypse started, they both fled to a nearby satellite station. They eventually had to leave when it was raided by Newborns. Storm was bitten by a reborn at one point while they were traveling (PLEASE TELL ME I TOLD Y'ALL THAT THEY CAN BE INFECTED BY A BITE 💀), and Raina tried to just ignore it. They both believed that as long as they treated the wound properly Storm wouldn't turn. Obviously, they were wrong. Storm turned in the middle of the night while they were at the lake/swamp (I honestly don't know what that thing is) and attacked Raina. Raina managed to kill her (temporarily) with her knife, but not without getting hurt. Her shoulder and waist had skin and fur torn off, and they were bleeding badly. She tried to make her way out of the lake, but not before she encountered Dipsy, who was responsible for tearing half of her face off (ouch). The military happened to be investigating that place (or whatever) and found her passed out. They brought her back to the base to help her. She grew attached to Guardian, although she doesn't really interact with anyone else (other than Miles and Anne). She trains with Miles, but doesn't want to become a soldier.

Extra information that I've probably already stated before:

•Raina was my first Slendytubbies oc and my favorite.

•She was originally a Laa-Laa x Dipsy fanchild. (I know I've said this a million times.)

•In her original lore, she was dating Evelyn.

•Despite being close to Guardian, she's never met Lenny. She's heard about him and she's afraid.

•In her original lore, she lived in the dome with Tinky and his friends. Dipsy was also a HUGE, HUGE part of her lore, but Laa-Laa was barely even mentioned outside of her dreams.

•Originally she was killed by one of those weird bull newborns. (I forgot their name)

•One time I said she used to have Laa-Laa's antenna, but I was mistaken. She had Daa-Daa's.

•Raina and Miles had so much beef in her original lore lmao-

Why Do You Care?

Summary: After an argument for the ages, Lenny has decided Billy is an ass and she refuses to talk to him. Billy's willing to fix things and play nice, even if he's pretty sure Lenny's just being stubborn about the whole thing. Maria has had enough of his sister and Billy's bs and decides to intervene, forcing them together to prepare a birthday surprise for Frank.

Characters: Billy Russo & Lenny Falconio (OC)

Request (from 💜 anon): “Where does it hurt?” & “Why would you even care?” For The Punisher pretty please 💜

Content Warnings: A little language.

Life As We Know It (The Punisher) Masterlist

Please take a moment to tell me what y'all think! Reviews and comments are always appreciated. 😌❤️

Calling out was instinctual—a reflex, if anything. That’s what Lenny told herself at least. Just like throwing out her arms to brace her fall, it was an action of the subconscious. It certainly wasn’t a call for help—for Billy's help, especially—but the strangled shout had pierced the silence of the house anyhow.

Lenny hadn’t planned on that, but as she writhed on the floor she got to thinking maybe it wasn’t a bad thing because it hurt like hell—her arm, her hip, her foot, her head. Her whole body, it seemed. Maybe she'd done more damage than she initially thought. 

Billy’s quick footsteps echoed across the floor as he approached, audible even though he was a marine. As a rule, the man was unusually stealthy and light on his feet. It was just how he moved, an instinct of his own that usually created a cautious bit of distance between him and the rest of the world because he was somehow able to fade into the background when he wanted to, if he wanted to. 

Billy didn't care about any of that here though. He let down his guard a bit at Maria and Frank’s, a place that felt more like home than his actual apartment did, the inherent warmth of the Castle-Falconio household instantly thawing something in him every time he stopped by.

Billy appeared in front of her, a roll of blue party streamers still in his hand, almost as if he hadn't had time to even drop the roll before coming to investigate. Lenny’s words came out louder and faster than Billy's as he asked what had happened.

"I'm fine," Lenny groaned. 

The quiet that came after almost made Billy think Lenny hadn't heard his question, but he knew she had—she was just ignoring him. Same as she'd been doing all week, since their argument at Sunday dinner.

And it was fine. Billy didn't really need Lenny to answer the question. The scene before him was clear enough. She was on the floor with one hand wrapped around her ankle, covered completely in white dust, the half-empty bag of flour settled precariously on the counter, threatening to spill more of its contents all over them and the kitchen floor. 

“I’m fine,” she repeated. “You can—”

"You’re not fine." Billy lowered himself to the floor beside her. He’d agreed to keep out of her way, had allowed her to banish him to the backyard with balloons and streamers and a happy birthday banner, but that was before she launched herself off of the kitchen counter. "Where does it hurt?"

Lenny scooted away from Billy's hands, hissing as she tried to use her foot to leverage herself backwards.

"I'm fine," she insisted once again, though her breath was unsteady, her eyes watering as the growing ache in her ankle pulsed and throbbed.

"You're not," Billy repeated, his hands both gentle and firm as they replaced her hold around the already swelling joint, his hands cool against her skin. "You're—"

"Why would you even care?" 

Billy took a breath, part of him ready to laugh while the rest of him was ready to roll his eyes—all of it borne of frustration. Billy had known Lenny Falconio long enough and well enough to know deep in his soul that she was stubborn as hell, that she wouldn't give in so easily, even with tears in her eyes. "Because I do, alright?" he said. "I care…even when you think I've been an asshole and I think you're being a goddamn brat so just let me help."  

Billy saw the instinct to fight him on those points rise within her, but arguing that she wasn't a brat or a kid or whatever else Billy called her almost always only served to corroborate his point, the tone of Lenny's rebuttal and the indignation on her face condemning her as being the exact thing she insisted she wasn't.

"You are an asshole," Lenny offered instead, each of the words pushed out through gritted teeth.

"Maybe I am," Billy confirmed. "And maybe you're stubborn as a mule. Obstinate.” He shook his head, but it was with a bit of fondness, a knowing acceptance of the way she was and always had been for as long as he'd known her. “Climbing up on your sister's counters and nearly breaking your neck when you could've just asked me for help."

Billy was right. Lenny could've just asked him. She had known he was there—banished by her out in the backyard, just through the screen door. She had even thought about it before deciding she could get the flour on her own. She didn't need him or his long-reaching arms. Or at least, Lenny didn't want to need him. She didn’t want to need Billy’s help. 

That was the whole point of this standoff anyway, wasn't it? 

That Lenny was sick of Billy “helping” and butting in when it wasn't warranted?

When it wasn’t requested?

Lenny had told him as much when he sauntered into the kitchen upon his arrival, offering his assistance, assistance Lenny promptly told him wasn't needed or wanted. She hadn't said it, but she wanted him to mind his own business, to stop caring, the very opposite of what was happening now as his hands continued to cradle her ankle, his eyes full of concern as he watched her. 

And Lenny just wanted him to stop, to go back outside and let her ride out the initial wave of pain on her own. 

“Maybe we should call your—”

“No!” Lenny shouted, assuming he’d been about to suggest calling Maria or Frank, but the whole thing was supposed to be a surprise for Frank, for his birthday and interrupting them now would only ruin it. As far as Frank knew, spending the day at the batting cages with Maria and the kids was his gift. Lenny had begged off the outing, claiming she had a paper due, promising to make it up to him later in the week, but it had all been a lie.

There was no paper due—Lenny was staying behind to decorate the backyard and to make the cake. And to warm up the dinner Maria had already made and left waiting in the fridge. Lenny had planned to have everything ready by the time Billy and Curtis were scheduled to arrive and they’d all surprise Frank when he arrived back home with Maria and the kids.

That was how it was supposed to go, but then Billy had shown up early, ruining her mood, distracting her.

His surprise arrival wasn't of his own accord, of course. It was Maria who had invited him to come early, insisting Lenny needed help with set up even though everything had been under control.

They both knew Maria and recognized her meddling for what it was—she was just giving them an opportunity to sort things out, to clear the air before they all sat down to a celebratory dinner. Lenny could've taken the opportunity to fix things—Billy had seemed willing—but she hadn’t. Instead, she had banished him to the backyard to decorate while she stayed in the kitchen preparing the food, her headphones firmly in place as she worked.

"We don't need to call them," Lenny mumbled, pushing at the phone in his hand. "My neck's fine."

"Yeah, and your mouth's fine, too, apparently," Billy answered, a smirk on his face for about a second or so before he coughed around the handful of flour that hit his face.

Lenny's flour-covered hand shielded the uncontrollable giggles spilling from her lips as Billy started to chuckle, a hollow and dangerous sort of sound coming out of him as he tried to wipe some of the white powder from his face. 

"You think you're funny?" he asked, the seriousness of his tone only serving to make Lenny laugh harder and louder, all of it building until a handful of flour collided with her open mouth.

"Billy!" she shouted, spitting around the word.

"You started it," Billy answered around his laughter as he quickly reached for Lenny, not allowing her any time to fight him as he lifted her in his arms.

"Billy, put me—" Lenny started, cut off suddenly when Billy settled her in one of the stools on the other side of the kitchen island, his hands working to prop her swollen ankle up on an adjacent seat.

"Asshole," she muttered to herself as Billy walked away.

“Here." He pulled out a bag of frozen peas from the freezer and turned to her. "Put this on it.”

Billy tossed the bag across the counter where it slid into Lenny’s lap and she let out a squeal as it made contact with the bare skin of her thighs. “I can’t just put it straight on—”

“Yeah, yeah." Billy moved around the counter again, this time with a tea towel in hand. He took the peas from her, carefully wrapping it before placing it on her ankle. "Here ya go, brat."

"Guess it’s a good thing I was here after all, huh?”

Lenny shrugged. "I would've been alright without—"

"You're unbelievable, you know that?" Billy shot back. "And I guess you're still planning on putting this meal together without my help too? Going to bake a cake with a busted ankle?"

Lenny thought about it, knowing she could struggle through it if she really wanted. It would be a pain in the ass and it would probably do her more harm than good in the end, but she could do it. She could prove her point.

"That's real smart, Len. Real—" Real fucking stubborn was what Billy wanted to say, his frustration flaring once again, a bit of the fondness slipping. Too stubborn for her own good, but she interrupted him before the words could come to his lips.

"You can make the cake," she offered.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you make the cake and decorate and clean up my sister's kitchen, and I'll sit here and supervise."

"Alright, fine." Billy snorted. "One condition though," he said, watching her for some sign of protest, but not quite finding it. "Curtis is coming by early to take a look at that ankle."

Lenny sighed. "Fine," she agreed, the throbbing of her ankle just a bit stronger than her pride. "Go ahead and call him."

"He's already on his way," Billy answered. "I texted him when you were too busy being a brat—" 

"You are such an asshole."

"Yeah," Billy answered. "An asshole who cares about you."
