(part 1)

[acid-ixx]

They aren't finished but I wanted to give you these! They're all WIPS so so far. Some are a bit older and you can tell what the newer ones are that I just made right now.

Thank you for posting a new chapter. It was an amazing read and I just loved it so much! Still trying to find those song references 😂

chapter spoilers and drafts (again &. again)

— masterlist ! ; chapter 4 ; ash's commisions

OH MY GOD THIS IS SUCH A BLESSING??? BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER I SWEAR 💞

ash, you have always provided my little fanbase for my series so much food for thought, this is absolutely beautiful in every way. i literally don't care if they're wips or unfinished because either way you always make do with what i write, descriptive or not. i love your artstyle and how soft you draw the mc and how handsome conner is (i literally showed your art off to all my friends). you're so talented and i wish to reciprocate all the efforts you've done for this series 😭

i'm serious. from your portrayal of the mc, to them flying with conner, you never once disappoint anyone.

because of this, i'd like to leak some parts of my story from chapter five and beyond 💕! thank you so much for this, and i hope my yapping below suffices.

major spoilers below the cut!

the graduation photo! i have something planned with that, and i'd delve so much deeper (soon) with just how much a single photo can influence bruce's line of thought once he discovers that picture frame. love how happy mc is in the photo because, for me, it symbolizes them growing up (quite literally) and acknowledging a new path in life, alongside only finding alfred as their only father figure compared to bruce.

you consider yourself reserved, and prefer your life living within the confines of privacy and protection from media exposure. your mother always told you: better safe than sorry once; right after you've asked her about why you can't seem to find personal information about your father when she helped you search him up occasionally.

all the questions you ask her about the lack of your father's preferences — because you merely wanted to know more about him beyond the stories she told you! — she rebutted with a soft smile, a kiss on your head, and an explanation.

she'd warn you about the dangers of media exposure, about how your father and her prefer to keep their relationship a secret, and how too much cameras and paparazzi flashes can blind you.

she said that someone's perception of another person could be ruined once their deepest secrets are revealed. that's why your papa isn't seen beyond the doors of the manor he resides in; because people are attracted to mystery and allure.

hence why she'd restricted you from the usage of any devices within your household during your childhood, other than the excuse of having no money to afford it.

and you always abide by that principle of secrecy; especially right after alfred had saved you from... whatever happened years ago in elementary. from when that man... no, those men knew about your identity...

so, safe to say you were an introvert, at least when it comes to social media. the concept of the fear of missing out never once rattled your brain, no matter how anxious you are whenever you're with your friends; scared that you wouldn't fit in. but they never cared and accepted you with open arms, so it doesn't really matter, no?

you're safe now that you're at metropolis.

and like she always said, better safe than sorry! keep it within you and never out!

so why?

why is it just right after you've opened your twitter app— why is it that your face is plastered all across news accounts?

anyways, the second and third images are so romantic!!! and cute, and cured my depression i swear. i showed this to my one friend and she told me that conner's hand size compared to mc's is straight up hot, and i agree! i love the hand placement, and the way conner holds the mc so softly! yes, i too, would love to touch his man-tits beyond his impeccably tight shirt and play with his hands!

and the cute little panel with him squishing their face and desire their confirmation that, they do, in fact, think they're hot. he's a very insecure man after all, and his self-worth would revolve around your perception of him. he doesn't see you as god, but he doesnt see you as his everything. every opinion matters from you, and that's what makes the green flag part about him.

fun fact about him in the series! he loves to moisturize his hands with lots of skin care products because he read from an article once that some people prefer the feel of soft or moisturized hands. he definitely did not wait for the moment for you to touch him for the first time in forever since he first saw you! yeah, he's a bit more freaky than i let him out to be. the more you're exposed to him, the more you'll learn just how obsessed he is.

as for all the people asking if i'd write more about him: the answer is yes! he's a vital character, so don't worry because he'll appear in many scenes either way. for those concerned about why he didn't save the mc— well, chapter five will explain soon 🩷

and this art perfectly portrays it! it's seen from an outside perspective and they look very pretty, yet from what they see with their eyes is a different thing. the longer you stare at yourself, the more your image is distorted. i intentionally added the flower analogy because flowers are portrayed as pretty, no matter the size and shape. even as they wilt or sag, they still retain some color and a semblance of what was once a history of their prime.

then lastly! the mirror scene. it all returns to chapter three, chapter four was a sequel of their breakdown containing mirrors. reflections and the perception of one self is an important aspect of my series because it reminds me of myself, so them nit-picking each and every insecurity whilst staring at the mirror; that's a scene i wrote based off of a real life experience of mine. having both attractive parents, or those acknowledged as conventionally pretty, whilst being in an environment filled with as equally smart or attractive people, comparing yourself to them all the time, is a struggle.

the only way to make flowers 'ugly' is by destroying them, by stepping on them, ripping them apart, never once caring for them. i think that's very crucial because people do see anything destroyed or stripped away from its foundation a mess, or so. but there's always beauty in everything and i abide by that thought!

again, thank you so much ash for drawing this and bringing my story to life! you, alongside many other users who send in their fanarts, are always such an inspiration for me to write! you guys are the backbone of my series and i stand by my sentence!!! may you get plenty of commissions and plenty of money to support you <333

also, the FLOWER BOTTLE AND THE CAT PAW REFERENCE! i love how everyone accepts that we have a canon cat now based solely off of this. i think that's precious, and having a feline pet is a great little choice for my own plot (just to lessen the pain of the angst).

i hope you enjoyed this little mess rant!

(as for the songs, don't worry, the lyrics become more prevalent for chapter five! chapter four doesn't have any explicit lyrics contained in them, only implications.)

Hiiiiii your artstyle so good for these guys (Alex kinna looks like a character that would be illustrated in a Roald Dahl book) and I love them.

I do got some questions about them

1. How does Alex hide away springs when other people like freinds or technicians coming into the apartment? Not many places for the big guy to hide. Plus there would be that rotting/colone smell to explain away

2. Springtrap was born in the UK right? Why did he leave? Does he miss the place sometimes?

3. Is OMC always this serious slightly grumpy guy or is it just because he deals with they 2 most insufferable people on earth?

4. From what I gather Springtrap likes a good bit of classy/expensive stuff. since Alex lives in a (probably small) apartment and is, y'know, Alex, is it hard for him to get these things for his bf with the wage whatever his new job is pays him? (And does he try any get rich quick schemes to get around that lol)

5. Does Alex have any friends, or was he just this loner guy before Springtrap? If he does, do they find this change in his habits and purchases and this furry he only brings out on Halloween odd or just typical Alex?

6. What was that "newfangled device" that springs screwed up useing so badly it blasted the soul out of him lol I'm curious.

aww thank you! I'm happy ppl like my character designs and art style 😭

anyways, SO

1. Springtrap usually hides in his bedroom closet, or even leaves outright ahead of time. if he's ever in a bind, he can stay still and be passed off as one of Alex's many horror movie paraphernalia. It's thankfully not frequent, and Alex intentionally avoids company, pretending to be embarrassed about his home.

Springtrap would indeed stink initially, but he eventually gets steam+enzyme base cleaned enough so he just smells like a junky old sofa.... that wears middle-aged man cologne lol.

2. William in this AU left the UK for the US to both get away from his overbearing and dysfunctional family, and to find more opportunities for his engineering degree. It's not in any art, only briefly mentioned in a one-shot i wrote over a year ago.

3. OMC is a generally stoic figure, being an immortal god of death, however his patience with William/Springtrap has run very thin. He has a long history with him and his immortality experimentation- playing god, is what led him to getting involved in the first place, as it was inhibiting any souls involved from moving on to the afterlife.

I wouldn't exactly call him grumpy though, actually he's quite patient and compassionate. He allowed Springtrap to set the rules for how his soul is claimed, because he knows how important this life and Alex is to him. He also made sure to let Alex know about this, and settled any lingering doubts. Unfortunately there's a lot of stuff I have yet to get to, but he's ultimately a positive figure, not a negative one. He just wants William's wrongs fixed (more will be shown in Hare-brained)

4. Yes Springtrap was born in a wealthy family, went to one of the most prestigious of universities, and became a wealthy man himself. So even in death, he has... refined taste. Alex works a lot, but Springtrap does not expect anything outside of their price range, because yeeeah he's not exactly working any glamorous jobs. He just wants matching kitchenware and bathroom towels lol, and he makes sure everything is clean. His home might be tiny, but Springtrap is still overall grateful for a place to live alongside his loved one.

Springtrap does manage their finances, and he's able to track what is it isn't appropriate. He also takes advantage of any benefits/ect Alex is qualified for that he's ignorant of. However. they both absolutely would get involved with get rich quick schemes hahaha, which im sure backfire.

5. Alex isn't overly social, but he gets along with people/coworkers, and he does have friends. He avoids hangouts at his apartment, which isn't people's first pick anyways so it works out. This new boyfriend they hear glimpses of is an absolute mystery through, Alex will make excuses or try not to bring it up, but I'm sure he can't hide it forever lol.

a comic I've contemplated for a good while is 1 or 2 good friends forcing Alex to come clean and actually being introduced to him, and while initially freaked out, they quickly realize how suspicious and sinister he really is (they know how gullible Alex is), which Springtrap becomes aware of and becomes hostile in turn, afraid of them jeopardizing their relationship. Little do they know Alex is not the one who's in danger. It'd end with them all realizing they all have his best interest in mind, and becoming another support network in case anything happens to either one of them. some day.

6. Springtrap loves to tinker, he's naturally curious and his neurodivergent ass can't help but tear shit apart to see how it works, or think of new ideas to create. I think it'd have something to do with a modern microwave personally, a transformer from one of those things can easily output a high enough voltage to kill a person.

Alex like to give him junk from pawn shops/ect to tear apart so he can learn, like Bluetooth speakers or older computers. Alex might have no clue what he's doing, but he's always happy to support him and his passions.

Ok I hope that covers everything ok!
