Nightmare

Aqua teen Hunger Force (fluff)

I never wrote a fic before. It was 2am last night and I was feeling sappy, so I decided to write this. Hopefully that comes across.

Blinking at the ceiling as he tries to make out what the two are talking about, half asleep and struggling to stay awake after another day long of whatever the hell goes on in their lives..

“No- you go in there cuz he’s gonna be cranky- and I’m not gonna be the one to deal with it.”

...

“Nuh uh. no way. Not doin’ it. You do it- cuz- cause you woke me up cuz-”

…

“I DID NOT. We- You had a nightmare. And well..we’ll do it together than. Big baby.”

The door creaked open, with Frylock glancing at the pair who still bickered over who apparently had the nightmare. He sighed, sitting up to squint at them through the darkness. Without having his contacts in made it even harder to see the pair, leaving him without the energy or the vision to be mad at the intruders, again..

He opted to speak up, sounding more irritated than he meant to initially.

“What two do you want right now, it’s..well I don’t know what time it is but it’s not the time okay?”

The room was quiet for a while before Shake and Meatwad whispered to each other again, this time quietly. Frylock couldn’t see their faces, but their tones were nervous sounding. Meatwad was the first to speak up, rolling to get closer to the bed while Shake suspiciously stayed near the door. Looking as if he’s clutching onto it. Frylock eyed him before giving the younger his full attention.

“We.. uh- we’re havin’ a hard time sleepin tonight. Or uh- or maybe just me I dunno. Something about nightmares or..well I didn’t have a night mare I just heard about it. So, yeah, uh.”

Frylock looks at Meatwad with a confused expression from his spot on the bed. Listening to Master Shake angrily whisper at the meatball as he grips the door harder. Making Meatwad remember what he was supposed to ask for, to which he does cutely.

“But- um. Frylock We wanna sleep in the big bed with youuu.”

Frylock glances back up at Shake, not being able to make out the cup’s entire face. He isn’t sure if this is a trick or not. FryLock raises an eyebrow, not buying into Shake’s part of the deal.

“Well, alright then. …Shake?”

Meatwad crawls up into the rocket ship themed bed, making himself comfortable next to Frylock. The grease from his body seeping into the sheets, but Frylock elects to ignore that for now. Choosing instead to look at Shake, the cup groaning as he’s been noticed. Walking slowly to the bed in an ashamed way, finally in visible sight for Frylock. Master Shake looks tired, eyes a bit baggy and pink for whatever reason the cup adamantly refuses to state. He rolls his eyes.

“I know you have something to say. What is it. What.”

Frylock softens his look, still squinting and letting a small sigh out at the disheveled sight of Shake.

“You had the nightmare, didn’t you Shake?”

“What. No? I don’t even dream. Everything I want.. simply comes to me, at my beck and call Fryl-“

The other man cuts him off, making Shake wince, strangely enough. Frylock points at Meatwad, who’s fast asleep and cuddled against his side. Shake frowns.

“Okay fine. Whatever. Maybe…Meatwad and I-“

“No. Don’t.”

“I hate you. So damn much.”

“No you don’t.”

“…”

“Do you..wanna talk about it or something? Your nightmare, I mean.”

“Scoot over. Not now.”

Frylock looks at Shake, the cup looking delicate for the first time in a long while. Eyes pricking with tears that won’t fall- the man lays down next to him in the one bed they have. Frylock exhales. Feeling a bit comforted knowing they’re, all here and in one piece. He wraps a fry around the both of them before closing his own eyes for the night, hearing Shake’s snoring as a good sign that he’s fallen asleep. Hopefully feeling better..It’ll be alright

Fit: This is actually kinda fun. Ok, so: Cucuruchito, what is your favorite food?

Cucuruchito: Oh darling, as an entity I don't eat, however, I am quite partial to the idea of a charming quesadilla. They are the star of my home, Quesadilla Island, after all. Now, what about you, sweetie? What tantalizes your taste buds?

Fit: I mean, Cucuruchito, you keep talking to me like that, I mean uh... [Laughs] Called me "sweetie," I mean, I dunno what's gonna happen. Um, my favorite food is probably... steak. [He shrugs] Maybe that's why I like Brazil so much.

Cucuruchito: Oh, Fit, you've got me blushing like a ripe tomato! I can see that you're the steak to my sizzling hot plate. Don't you think our conversation has more sizzle than a steak on a hot grill? Perhaps we could have that steak together next time and add more spice to this little rendezvous. Winking face.

Fit: [Dying in the background, trying to compose himself] WHAT THE FCK. WHAT?! [Shouts]

Cucuruchito:

Fit: [Runs away and laughs] Fck it, I can't I can't, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't fcking do this. I cannot do– [Laughs]

I guess the ultimate thing that kills CF for me - or at least nudges it away from me saying I definitively like it - is just how much Edelgard is clearly written with the player in mind before she's written with her character in mind.

Because on all of the other routes, there's a power to Edelgard's presence. Even on BE, there's a sense that for as lonely as Edelgard might be, she still ultimately will do whatever it takes for her to get what she wants. Be that be killing her citizens (or otherwise letting them be killed), endangering her friends, assisting in kidnapping people, allowing Byleth to support her only when they have the Sword of the Creator, covering for TWS - no bar is too low for her to limbo under if doing so means she's even a step closer to her goals.

She's manipulative! She's deceitful! She doesn't care for the lives of her people! Even her friends are forfeit if they try to stand in her way! And this happens no matter how close you, the player, get to her, in the case of BE - C+ ain't stoppin' Remire, and going to the coronation ain't stopping the Holy Tomb.

And in the war phase, she is dominating the field. She has the Kingdom completely on the ropes, down to a few houses standing against Imperial rule, and the Alliance is stuck in neutrality - she may not be able to do much to it, but neither can they do anything to her (to say nothing of the Alliance houses who stand with her). She's far from the underdog in this race, and she shows off how threatening she can be.

CF? Her route?

She scweams at scawy rats. She gets embawwassed when you find her dwawings. She's just so wonewy, and she's just so gwad that you chose her. She somehow fails to capture Rhea, or frame Dimitri for regicide, and so now has to deal with that on the Kingdom's side of the war. But that doesn't stop Elly Welly-kins fwom twying to find her pwecious teacher, because you're just so important to her. She cwies and hugs you when you meet her in the Goddess Tower!! Because she missed you so much!!

It's like... Dimitri and Claude certainly show different sides of themselves on their respective routes. It's the whole point! You grow closer to them and thus see how they treat those close to them, as opposed to being the Kinda Neat Teacher they see run along every now and then. But, like... Claude doesn't become a blushing maiden whenever Byleth speaks with him on VW. Dimitri doesn't scream at scary rats and get called cute for it on AM. They don't get Basic Bitch Gap Moe Traits slapped onto them that are only ever shown to the player and only on their routes. Unlike Edelgard.

Dimitri's endearing trait is that he's this big huge dude who can bench-press forests and arm-wrestle god who still wants to learn to sew and who teaches kids to protect themselves and who buys candies for his friends. Claude's endearing trait is that he's this mastermind planner who has contingency and lie and obfuscation as three separate legal government names who still wants everyone to be safe and happy and hold hands and be friends.

Edelgard is strong, confident, and willing to do some of the shittiest things known to man for her goals. Her endearing trait is that her screams are cute. She's shy about her drawings of the player character. She blushes over the player potentially joking about having sex with her per her JPN version of her C support; you know, the one about how Byleth walks in on Edelgard muttering in her sleep from a nightmare about her tortured family? Perfect time to joke about fucking her! Dimitri and Claude's endearments are, well, endearing; Edelgard's are all straight up embarrassing for her.

Hell, even the smaller stuff is affected! Claude's passion for poisons and mushrooms are things he has no qualms about having others know about, despite how weird they are. Dimitri laughing at shitty jokes brings him no personal discomfort or embarrassment, despite just how loudly he laughs at them. They have traits to them that can easily be uwu worthy, and they don't care! Of the lords, only Edelgard does! Because, it feels like, the only way for a strong, resolute female character to come off as approachable is if she's knocked down a few pegs for specifically and only you, the player.

And that sucks ass! I'm sorry, but when I'm playing Edelgard's route I don't want to deal with her hiding herself away in her room for a month IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FUCKING WAR because she's just so embawwassed! It is so fucking insensitive that Edelgard is literally the only lord of the three who can have her trauma openly belittled at any point in the story by Byleth, all to have some cheap cutesy uwu moment about her fear of rats (calling her screaming in fear cute and INSISTING that it's really cute which is just. Fucking ew man)! Why can we fucking mock Edelgard's manner of speech during the MASSACRE OF REMIRE?

This shit doesn't happen to Claude or Dimitri! And saying "oh just don't pick those options then" is bullshit because no equivalent options exist for the male lords! It's piss-boilingly annoying that the second you choose to see things from the strong confident villainous ambitious female lord's perspective you can reduce her down to this bumbling moeblob just for you (sometimes unavoidably!) like!! Dude!

Releasing my infection AU cringe into the wild. Disintegrates

I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules But when have angels ever helped me yet?

[medichamcham]

re-uploading an old drawing i did because im reminiscing on the idea that gio is a tiny bit insecure about his skin visibly aging as he gets older. so rose happily helps him out with it !! ^_^

[lakesparkles]

HI EVERYBODY!! :D

I'm glad to say that I'm feeling way better now, it's the happiest I've felt in the last... What? Three weeks? And yeah, most people were right: what I needed was to step back and be out of the internet a little. (Not that I'm taking a break 100%, I'm just here less). I'm feeling like drawing again and this is great to me!!

Aaaand the lesson I learned is that your brain finds weird ways to improve your mental health: this time, to me, was to spend most of my time drawing Squid Game yaoi and watching Tik Tok videos. If it helps, it helps ig

[weebsinstash]

You know it's probably 70% because it's Jeff Goldblum but you know what. You know what. You know what. Why is the Wizard kinda... you know.... 👀

I was in my yt shorts foreverscrolling, as one does, and a clip of when Elphaba received her balloon from the Wizard came up and one comment said "you have to admit his little messenger balloon is pretty cute" and someone replied something like "manipulators like him often use 'cute' things to deceive people" and something in my brain just remembered "oh, right, so he's a charismatic manipulating charlatan who is also desperate for approval and praise but also secretly extremely insecure and he sees nothing wrong with lying and having big grandiose gestures to lie/celebrate/indulge himself even to the point he has no problem massively misleading people on an untold scale. Go on 👀"

None of the civilians even fucking know what the Wizard looks like but most of them are so camp-level brain dead that you could just have Madame Morrible say "oh, [the Reader] ran away because they're just so shy :) you know everyone has been young and in love and, the Wizard needs your help making sure they stay out of trouble and come home, everyone ^^" and you'd have munchkins tailing you by that same week

Personally I've always been a little, hungry for the trope of "Powerful 'damsel' whose abilities are used/exploited by the villain who is obsessed with them" trope and I couldn't decide if the idea of Reader being a witch or a civilian is more appealing to me. Are you powerless because of the social pressure and manipulated situation you are forced into, or, are you also literally powerless?

You're just like, forcibly cowed into being his little... personal sorceror/pal/loverrrrrrrrr i guess?

Seeing the new movie, and especially The Wiz, the Emerald City celebrations are always so grandiose, and I can picture he's just constantly dragging you to those. Or, would you be forced to be a recluse, since he hides his face from even his palace guards? Does he even go out or does he just make announcements with scwry automatons? How many people even know he's like, a person-person? Does the general public just hear "oh hey this is Reader they're gonna be the Wizard's 'special friend' ;) be nice to them everyone" and they just immediately accept you're this weird giant robot/human weird interspecies couple (or am I totally misinterpreting and people think he summons the robot to talk with magic...)

I mean, I guess spoilers but we also already know that the Wizard knows how to be charming and seductive when he wants to 👀 I admit I didn't recognize his voice when he first appeared but everyone is saying it's super obvious to tell and also that the play/book is so old that everyone already knows but, again spoilers, finding out that he's the guy I was talking about from my last post has me a lil 🥴😳 we literally just watched him seduce and party his way into impregnating her like, no I'm GONNA be gross about it! she really did deadass let him hit it raw he nailed that shit so good like???? Hello???? I'm about to risk it all--

[kiivg]

Hiii, I remember seeing you posting your sketchbook and was wondering if you would kindly share some more of its contents, please?

I lovveeeee your art style 🤩🤩🤩

Ps. More vampyr pls, love your fanarts!

.TYSM!!! I’m very obsessed with Vampyr, I think it very much scratches my vintage itch which I’m not exactly getting from anywhere else?? Apart from smutty audiobooks (hello Nicholas Hawke Dragon Age II Bolton and that silly book 💋) if anyone has any recommendations for nice smutty mxm audiobooks that are like set any time before the 20th century I’m here for it.

.I’m not even going to lie, I haven’t drawn in my sketchbook since October…… and there was a gap between them and June before that so…… HOWEVER I am getting back into it just for this ask because I’m getting frustrated with digital art atm ngl.

.It’s not through reluctance or anything but I’ve had a lot going on irl, with moving house, and renting one whilst buying a new one and having to remodel that, babysitting weekly ughughugh, big family drama on top of that, and one of my dogs was sick from October to mid-January just after having her season and that involved basically 24 hour observation for two weeks and major surgery and then specialist care and a three hour round trip to a fancy vets like weekly and she racked up £4,000 worth of bills like GIRL NO!!!!! She is Okay-A now, and weirdly smarter and more energetic after her surgery, she’s gorgeous and I love her!!! Also Dragon Age came out so that was a whole month gone lmao.

.The only things I have to show are either a few pages of artist studies, which idk how I feel about posting them because they’re people I follow on tumblr and it’s like I mean yeah my sketchbook looks fire because of fancy pictures and notes but also it’s not technically my art and it’s like…. Hmmm…. And the other one is… uh… redraws of screenshots for the first episode of Father Brown, which I did in one day and you can kind of tell how tired I got in the end lmao, and idk if people need to know how much I love that show, especially with my old man fixation….. like… girlies do NOT connect the dots here, but that’s all I have!.

[valyrfia]

so how are your working weeks going i just logged on to my server where i keep my data and code only to find out there was a powercut and the ENTIRE SERVER is corrupted………….

[cherrytastiq]

halloween is just an excuse to put my ocs in cosplay

[enden-k]

my haitham dakimakura just arrived the same time i got home, i completely forgot i actually dared to get one and now hes staring back at me and im 🤦‍♀️

[please-read-the-manga]

RIP Madara, you would have loved Cher.

Anyways, this is completely unfounded and purely vibes (I am but a simple cringe gay who likes both Naruto and Cher) but I truly believe Madara would be a Cher fan so I hope someone will enjoy this Cherdara (+Kurama) as the 'Dark Lady' album cover.

Yes, I'm aware this is stupid niche, it came to me as a friend looked through the obscene amount of Cher records I own (early 70's Cher will always be my favorite era) lol.

But tell me these aren't Madara's vibe??

He Ain't Heavy... He's My Brother (G*psys, Tramps, & Thieves)

Let This Be A Lesson To You (Take Me Home)

Outrageous (Prisoner) Picture: Madara prepping for battle/getting his weapons + armor ready.

Heart of Stone (Heart of Stone)

Save Up All Your Tears (Love Hurts) I know this one was on repeat in the cave.

The Power (Believe) This should have been the final Juubidara look/reveal.

Song For the Lonely (Living Proof) Like come ON lol.

Dressed to Kill (Closer to the Truth) Hashirama v. Madara fr...

You Haven't Seen The Last of Me (Closer to the Truth) Madara leaving that homophobic village.

The Winner Takes It All (Dancing Queen) I could do a whole list of Madara and ABBA too lol, maybe this one is cheating.

Also, I am by no means trying to venture into the Naruto 'pairings' discourse/community or anything, but if you subscribe to Madara being gay (and imo I think you can make a case for it and read him that way), I'm just saying there are many fantastic unrequited love/desperate-for-love songs that would work for him lol...

The Way of Love (G*psys, Tramps, & Thieves)

Don't Hide Your Love (Foxy Lady)

I Saw A Man And He Danced With His Wife (Dark Lady)

If I Could Turn Back Time (Heart of Stone)

Strong Enough (Believe) Honestly the whole Believe album lbr.

Not sure if I should admit this so I'm 'hiding' it... but my Madara-Cher agenda is also a minor detail in a dumb 'Alternate Universe' I've been brewing in my head - I haven't been here long, but I've definitely been inspired by all the other ideas people on here come up with for their alternative stories lol.

Brief Synopsis:

I'm thinking it takes place in the late 70s/early 80s. Basically, Izuna drops out of high school because he accidentally knocked up his girlfriend and is now trying to figure out how to raise his daughter (Mikoto) at 17. The birth mom's family doesn't want anything to do with this so he's on his own and lost. He goes to his eldest brother's apartment for help because he's not quite ready to admit to their father/other brothers that he fucked up this bad and I kind of picture the two of them having a special bond as oldest/youngest.

From then on, Izuna raises little Mikoto with the help of his gay (on the dl) older brother which gives a lot of room to explore some interesting dynamics/historical perspectives. Personality-wise for this, I kind of picture that Izuna fancies himself a progressive activist for his time (but cannot hold down a job to save his life/the struggle is real) while Madara is barely afloat himself, trying to make do in a shitty apartment and figure out his own life while also (now) taking care of his brother and niece. The major overarching theme would be that the Uchiha are a family that have their issues, but at the end of the day they are always there for one another no matter what (which is how I've always read them in canon).

Idk, it combines many of my interests/favorite themes with some of my favorite characters lol... and, most importantly, I can make Madara a Cher fan LOL. Never worked on something like that before, but it's a nice distraction to consider, especially during these trying times.

This is the album btw:
