for your ask game, garden life! i've been obsessed with this song lately
okay. okay. i just listened to the song for the first time (yeah, i know, don't yell at me) and Oh Boy.
immediately i can tell you it would be angsty, angsty merthur.
i'd write it about young-ish merthur, perhaps s2, through 02x11 (the witch's quickening) when merlin sees the future through the crystal. i wouldn't want it to be a rewrite, but i'd play on that specific scene so that merlin would see more of the future - specifically, arthur's end. at first i was gonna leave it at that, but now that i'm thinking about it - the vision would be vague and i also imagine arthur finding out about it and believing merlin, so the fic would have more future-seeing aspects. the song feels like a conversation in this context, most of it being the period between merlin seeing the future and arthur finding out.
i imagine arthur as more...dark in this, struggling. all the responsibilities and growing pains and realisations that come with it. i'd incorporate the trope of arthur learning personal closeness through merlin, gentleness, kindness.
and, so, merlin would be overcome with the idea of arthur dying young, he'd grow somewhat distant. they wouldn't be in an established relationship or anything that early on, but they'd certainly thread the line between friends and something more. merlin would stay with arthur longer than necessary during nighttime, a kind of comfort and presence. there would've been one time they almost kissed but got interrupted, not long before the discovery of the crystal. so that would be the overall vibe of those two going into it. arthur being arthur would notice merlin being weird, poking and prodding until merlin told him vague lies. arthur wouldn't believe him, of course. most of the scenes, especially the early ones, would be set during nighttime, merlin taking the metaphorical role of a nightlight. this is when arthur would be most honest and open. they'd talk in whispers and arthur would often reach out to play with merlin's fingers.
eventually, arthur would coax it out of merlin. he'd be hesitant to believe it, but merlin would have done his research, armed with a way to see more of the future. arthur would be stubbornly curious, feigning disinterest, saying he'll go with merlin only so he doesn't get himself killed. i'm not too sure about the details of the 'quest' or what exactly the visions would entail, but both merlin and arthur would see it. again, not too much would be given away, only that arthur would be destined to die young and merlin would wait and wait and wait aka "you left a dent inside my soul / (what comes after me? we can't stay forever)".
after that, they'd go through the motions of what it all really means, how much of it can be changed, and how much of each other they're willing to lose, knowing the likely end. one particular scene in my mind was arthur with his head in merlin's lap saying "what comes after me?" once for camelot, and once, quieter, for them two.
you might be thinking - magic?? i'm not sure if a magic reveal would be included. arthur might know already, merlin might lie his ass off, i don't know. although, to make it a little less angsty, i think it would have to be an already known thing.
give me a self-made fic title and i'll tell you what i'd write about

Arthur Kirkland for the character ask please
favourite thing about them: nothing. he's a pretentious, detestable prick. that's why he's such a fun character.
least favourite thing about them: some of those stereotypes were too accurate, and as an english person i had to reckon with that.
favourite line: i haven't watched it since 2012 and i also watched subbed so i'm not sure on the line, but the scene where francis is begging him to marry him so his boss doesn't kill him, and arthur just plainly laughs in his face.
brotp: engport, best friends of life (except for that 60yrs we don't talk about), and generally being their for each other throughout everything. also engnor for similar reasons. i wish we got more of them.
otp: engspa. i love how they're caught in an endless cycle of enemies-to-reluctant-allies-to-lovers-to-enemies. i love that they find so much joy in fucking each other over and beating each other up. also pirates. the epitome of "i can make him worse". truly toxic by choice.
notp: usuk. i just never saw it honestly.
random headcanon: arthur considers french to be one of his mother tongues but would never admit it out loud. he sill frequently uses it.
unpopular opinion: to this day, this was one of the most toxic fandoms i was ever in but the only one where the toxicity hasn't stopped me coming back to write for it. i genuinely enjoy writing for these characters still.
song i associate with them: breaking benjamin - dance with the devil
favourite picture of them: i cannot find the bit of fanart now, it was on deviantart back in 2010-ish, but i see it in my head. my rp partner at the time sent it to me because it was of our characters.

I kind of want to write a fic where Odin is about to banish Thor and Loki's watching it go down and the guilt is eating at him and right before Thor gets yeeted through the Bifrost, Loki yells, "IT WAS ME!" and, because that's actually words (and interesting words at that), Odin actually stops what he's doing to listen instead of just yelling a keyboard smash out loud, and Loki explains that he manipulated Thor into attacking Jotunheim, but it was never supposed to get that far and he's very sorry and it will never happen again. and he thinks he's mitigating the damage but instead Odin just banishes him instead (and he'd banish Thor too but he needs someone to take the throne and tbh what would it say about him as a dad if he has to banish all three of his kids?)
so then Loki ends up getting hit by Jane's car, except he's not an idiot so he doesn't run around screaming at the sky about being hammered and Darcy never has to taze him so he never ends up in the hospital so they're off to a good start already.
and they get to talking (and they're all very confused and operating under completely different understandings of the situation) and Loki figures out he's in Midgard entirely because they don't know what the Nine Realms are and Midgard is the only realm stupid enough not to know that. Jane mentions that they're scientists and Loki just kinda scoffs at that because scientists on Midgard are like childrens' tutors in Asgard, and Jane is equally offended and impressed.
and I choose to think that Odin never takes Loki's magic away the way he did to Thor's because he can't take it away. if he could, he would've done that before they threw him in the dungeon in TDW. so Loki still has his magic so it's pretty easy to convince them that he's a god (and honestly they're more convinced than he is because he just found out that he might possibly be Jotun?)
so they end up taking Loki with them (against Selvig's better judgment) because he sounds like a know-it-all and he ends up pretty much being a know-it-all so that works well for Jane. and actually it kinda maybe works too well? because she starts to fall in love with him and surprise, it's a Lokane fic and he starts to fall for her and they have babies and live happily ever after!
no jk idk what would happen but I'm thinking Mjolnir would still be out there so maybe Loki would go to check it out and he'd probably have better luck with it because he's magic so it's pretty easy to get everyone out of his way but he's definitely not worthy so he can't wield it but it does get them both tangled up with SHIELD probably?
idk apparently I can only thing of Lokane fic ideas if they have no ending so that's all I got lmao

Maybe I should just accept the fact that I'm bound to have writing WIPs and inch my way to completion with this thing by adding onto it day by day instead of fully completing the thing in a single day like I usually do.

hi everyone!! my wrist is too sore to draw today, so instead i thought i'd share some of my favorite csp assets + how i like to use them! i also linked some procreate brushes at the end of the post!!
lineart brushes:
SU-Cream Pencil: i swear by this brush and i use it very often!! if you lower the pen density and use a gradient map over it when coloring your drawing, it has a nice effect. that's what i did in this drawing here! i also use this brush like i would draw on paper, so as a sketching tool. recently i've been enjoying blending it for shading. the pics below are drawn on one layer; left is more manga style while the one on the right is from a WIP of my singer sargent study, so it can be used for more realistic styles pretty well!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Found Pencil: another pencil brush that feels really nice to use, created by @/pigpenandpaper.
PS style brushes: a recreation of photoshop's (i believe) default brush. very versatile and also blends well!
analog wind variant pen: a nice pen that i like to use for lineart that is intended to have a bit of a sketch look.
zakutoro real g-pen: i used it for the lineart of this piece. although, it was drawn before i started using 600dpi in my works, so the lower resolution might make it look a bit unclear.
sets of rough pens: great for manga lineart with a rougher vibe; some of them have varying line weight.
coloring brushes:
zaku brushes: very nice and painterly mixing! i definitely recommend it for those who like to leave their colors a bit unblended.
softie marker: as the name implies, it's very soft! i like to use it for blush in chibi illustrations.
analog watercolor brushes: realistic-looking watercolor brushes. i recommend using it with csp's default paper textures, or those i linked below!
993 coloring pen: it's very soft and watery, though it can be made more solid by adjusting the paint density. i actually think it works very nicely for lineart too.
rock dog pen: another soft marker brush i like, that i once again also use for lineart and doodles.
thick coating brush set: recommended for paintings that show brush strokes.
cartoon cloud: don't let the name narrow your vision!! this has to be one of the BEST brushes for painting in my opinion, and of course it's great for clouds and explosions but so so much more!! and it's FREE try it try it!!
decoration/miscellaneous brushes:
neon pen
paper textures
symmetry move brush
close and fill without gaps
rope brush
sphere fisheye guide
flash balloon
speech bubble set: a lifesaving collection for comic artists!! dimensions and line weight can be adjusted by using the operation tool.
Tumblr media
gradient map to use in color mode at 15% and another gradient map to use at 20%: the percentage refers to the opacity of the gradient map layer, but they are just the creator's recommendation and i tend to actually increase it. to use gradient map efficiently, i recommend putting all your colors (and lineart if you want) in a folder. then, right-click the folder, select "new correction layer" and then "gradient map". this allows you to modify the gradient map without worrying about affecting the original colors in case you decide not to use it in the end. to import a gradient map from your downloaded csp assets, click the wrench icon next to the name of the gradient set that's currently in use, then select "add gradient set".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you'll also notice that the creator recommends to use their gradients in "color mode". of course, this is also only a recommendation and i suggest trying as many layer modes as you like! to change a layer's mode, simply highlight the layer and click on "normal" (the default mode) and csp will display the available modes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fruit ninja gradient map: fun to use if you want really drastic/vibrant colors! the names of the gradients are cute too, as you can see in the above screenshot!
BONUS: jeremy fenske's free photoshop brush pack: these aren't csp brushes per se, but they can be imported into the program! excellent for environments, i recommend watching fenske's video on how he uses the brushes to get a clearer picture since there are so many in this pack!!
BONUS 2: my good friend clem has a few brush packs for procreate that are ideal for painting,decorating drawings, and y2k-inspired illustrations, i definitely recommending checking out her shop!
in conclusion i hope this post can be helpful to you!! i tried to explain how to use the brushes as best as i could, but feel free to let me know if anything is unclear!! i hope you will enjoy using them! :D

🌳 4t2 wall hangings, rug, and bookcase 🌳
happy holidays! im in the middle of completely remaking my downloads folder to hopefully finally go back to playing this game, and im also cleaning up my wips to finally release some stuff out of the dungeon. i know that some of these have been done already, but i wanted some of them to share meshes, or have different subsets, or slots, or whatever. so, there.
some more info and very 'graphic design is my passion' previews under the cut
lmk if there's something to fix or if i forgot to include something!
🦷 download: 🦷 unmerged [SFS] 🦷 merged [SFS]
credits: ea, theninthwave, michelle
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i cloned the bookcase from a snowy escape bookcase conversion by tnw that michelle added slots to, it has 2 subsets (the bookcase and books). hobby > knowledge, obviously.
Tumblr media
this wall hanging from werewolves, with 2 subsets (frame and image).
Tumblr media
the charts from my first pet and growing together, i know that the former is already around, but i wanted them on the same mesh. the dinosaur from 'hopeful futures' is on the mesh, you can delete the mfp ones if you already have them
Tumblr media
a tooth fairy sticker with some recolors from werewolves and high school years, the file names should be like the ones here so you can delete what you don't want (remember to dl the unmerged version for that). there's also a smaller add-on, repo'd to the big one
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some more stuff from hsy, three of the 'snack attack' decals are neon-y so i included them both as normal stickers in their own mesh, and more glowy as part of the 'neon dreams' wall hanging
Tumblr media
posters from growing together and werewolves. some of them were originally on a slightly dog-eared mesh, so i included that one too to be faithful to the originals, it's repo'd to the straight one
Tumblr media
more posters, hsy
Tumblr media
i converted these city living scrolls last year and they got stuck waiting for me to be done w some other stuff i was working on at that time, idk if that will ever happen so i might just put them here now. technically they're not all called 'crescent cityscapes' (thats just the first one) but i didn't rename the recolors to fit their ts4 names.
Tumblr media
growing together + some white trees from parenthood, all on one mesh. again, delete what you don't want (except the one 'hoots there?' decal that's the mesh)
Tumblr media
and finally, some scratches from werewolves on both walls and floors, except i don't have a preview for the floor version, oops. it's mostly similar scratches + some cracks though

The Shield vignette
CW: None Setting: Vanilla Fighting Fantasy Notes: I found this one while trawling through my folders, looking for WIPs to finish. I think it was supposed to be set in the latter half of the campaign, while the party were out of Toreguard. Alas, I didn't leave myself any notes and I no longer remember what it was about. However, the opening scene is cute, and although it's now going to be marked as Abandoned, I thought I'd post it as a little slice of life.
Tumblr media
Weak autumnal sunlight poured through the windows of the hut, picking out clay pots, bunches of drying herbs and jars of preserved fruit, as an elven woman knocked on the door. "Waldemar, do you have a moment?" she asked. By the bench, on a tall stool, sat a older man, long greying hair pulled back and held by a wood and leather clasp. He glanced up sharply from where he was mashing something in a mortar bowl. "Ah, Amis! Of course, of course," the human said, his face crinkling in a wide smile. "Come in, come in. I'll be done in a bit - I was just showing Næchtan here how I make healing potions." At this, an elven lad, no more than forty-five years of age, leant back on his own stool, appearing around the wizened man, and gave Amis a wave. "Hallo Mistress Irithyl," he said. "Mister Hexenmister is teaching me to be a healer." "Is he now?" Amis crossed her arms and gave Waldemar a frown. "You're a bit young still for an apprenticeship. Have either of you discussed this with Næchtan's father?" "Well now," Waldemar said, gazing blankly at the wall, "let's see. Ah…" He trailed off, as Næchtan ducked his head, light brown hair flopping over his eyes as his gaze shifted to the floor. "I think," Waldemar continued, "that, ah, perhaps it may have slipped from mind. Yes, yes. There may have been an oversight." The herbalist shifted his attention back to the elven woman, and gave her a lopsided smile. Amis gave the pair of miscreants a long look, then sighed, relaxing her arms. "I suggest then," she said, "that you go and discuss it with Mister Cedardance after you've finished the lesson then." "Of course, Amis." "Yes, Mistress Irithyl." Amis nodded, and then gave a little cough. "I do still need to steal you away for a moment, Waldemar," she said, pointedly. The herbalist gave her a momentary blank look, before brightening. "Ah yes! My apologies, my dear. Yes, yes, of course." Waldemar slipped off his stool and paused. "Ah… Næchtan, why don't you finish mashing those goodberries? Once they're to a good, paste-like consistency you need to add a dash of water - not too much mind, just enough to release them from the bowl - then pour the mix into the bowl of prepared Calendula, Goldenrod and Mint, and allow them to steep. They should be ready by the time I'm done with Mistress Irithyl. Did you get all that, my boy?" "Yes sir," Næchtan said. "What should I do while it's steeping?" "Oh, you could clean the mortar and pestle, then the cutting board and sweep the floor if there's time." "Yes sir." Næchtan gave an enthusiastic smile. Waldemar patted him on the head. "Good lad," he said, then turned to Amis, gesturing her to a camp table and stove at the back of the hut. "Shall we then, my dear?"
Tumblr media
I also found this adorable little sidebar to myself about Goodberries:
So Goodberries are created by taking fresh berries (any, one assumes) and casting over them to make them helpful. It's 2d4 berries, 1d/lvl. Meaning Waldemar can at max do 8 berries over a 2 day period? This leads to wondering how exactly one does this out of season. It might be possible to do it on preserved berries? Classical preservation methods include whole fruit in sugar (honey) syrup or as jams. Does this mean then that one could make Goodberry jam at the start of the season (though that would take a lot of Druids, as this spell doesn't increase target with level, and you need more than 8 fruits for jam)? Or could you use preserved whole berries to make them, as to me 'Fresh' only implies 'not rotten'. I really, /really/ want to make Goodberry Jam a thing. imagine how much benefit you'd give to poor folks - 1 slice of bread and Goodberry jam could feed a person for a whole day!
"Here, have a potion of fullness." "This is just a jar of jam?" "No, it's a potion." "Do... Do I chug it?" "What? No. You put it on bread. Duh."

20 questions for fic writers
Thank you for the tag @oonajaeadira! Funny enough I saw this go around a couple months ago and meant to do it, then life got crazy. This seems like a great time to jump on in!
Tumblr media
How many works do you have on ao3?
48! Wowza! That's not counting fics I only post here (like my Writers Iron Chefs and the Bangathon)
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
338,089. That's kind of crazy, I'm not gonna lie. And some of those words aren't filthy :P
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The Pedro Pascal Cinematic Universe!
4. Top 5 fics by kudos
Something New, One Very Good Night, Both Sides of the Door, A Sweet Response to Tragedy, and Good Company. 4 out of 5 of these are from I Think of You, which does warm my little heart. I did laugh that their popularity is completely out of order from the series.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes yes yes! Every single one I get! I'll even yank your tags out and comment on them when they make me especially happy. It's the best part of sharing my stories.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
TECHNICALLY One Very Good Night had the angstiest ending before I continued the series. Same with Cognitive Dissonance! Apparently I get to an angsty end then just write a part 2.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think that's tied with the real ending to my Whiskey & Westworld series, and all the gooey soft fun of my Javi G series. Both make my heart glow in different ways.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Knock on wood, nothing so far. I've gotten a couple of interpretations of my fics that have made me cock my head because I just don't think the person read the story, or if they did they skimmed over the character development part. But otherwise I've had a very nice time with everyone here <3
9. Do you write smut?
Tumblr media
If you don't know by now, I'm not sure what you've been reading...
10. Craziest crossover?
100% Whiskey & Westworld. Golden Circle meets android theme park? Lusting over cowboys and having existential crises? It fit better than I ever thought it would and I still love the crap out of it.
(though as a side note, having Javi P be the person who helped Santi find his girls in the SW!Frankie AU is another fav)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I hope not? Yeesh.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but that would be pretty neat!
13. Have you co-written a fic before?
No, but I have had the distinct pleasure of @psychedelic-ink writing a fic in the SW!Frankie AU that made my whole life.
14. All time favorite ship?
HELP I'M TORN. It's a tie between Din and my Reader in I Think of You and Dieter and Murch in Best Laid Plans. I think about both of them so so so much.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will
I have a handful of small WIPs in a folder that who knows if they'll come to fruition. I think the greatest contender is probably the Post-Apocalyptic Frankie I tossed around because The Last of Us came out and it might just meld into a Joel story instead.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm good at pacing and giving enough description to keep a reader engaged but not bogged down with details. People connect with my reader characters in a way that makes me super happy. And I write damn good smut.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I can't write outlines or my brain says "it's done :)" and I never write the story. I can't write out of order. I struggle with making characters have meaningful fights and arguments because I'm non-confrontational IRL and it makes me anxious.
18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language
Flavor! I love reading it! I tend to shy away from writing it because as someone who knows another language, it never feels natural to me to throw it in. Pet names are a nice way to use it, and I'll allude to speaking other languages in descriptions, but it's difficult so I tend to not add it much in my stories.
19. First fandom you wrote for
Gundam Wing when I was about eight or nine. Part of my username is in homage to that! My friends and I would write our fanfics and then read them all out loud at sleepovers together. Pre-internet, this was my Tumblr lol.
20. Favorite fic you've written
You know, I love all of my fics a whole damn lot, and my top ones are still hard favs. But I think for a story that came out of my heart in a really nice way and that I hold a little closer than the others, The Plan might just top them a tiny bit.
NP tags: @iamskyereads @psychedelic-ink @julesonrecord @wannab-urs @ezrasbirdie and anyone who wants to play!

Writer Questionnaire ❦
Taking a break from writing to catch up on my tags writing 2 books at once is not for the weak 😭 so thank you @drchenquill for the tag as always!
- how long have you had your writing tumblr/writerblr? a fast and loose estimate is fine!
At least since April or early May!
- what lead you to create it?
I wanted to connect with other writers and creatives to make new friends!
- what's your favorite thing about the writer community?
My favorite part is the absolute powerhouse of creativity and innovation. You all have this incredible knack for coming up with unique ideas that never fail to inspire me. Plus, they're hilarious! Their sense of humor adds a delightful twist to everything we do, making even the wildest ideas feel approachable and fun. Honestly, being around such talent and laughter is a constant source of my motivation and joy!
- what’s one thing you'd like in mutual to know about you?
No notification I receive on this app goes unnoticed. I'll be at work, smiling because someone found my writing and enjoyed it! It means so much to me and only makes me want to write even more!
- is there anything you'd like to see more of on your dash?
I would love more collaboration and interaction in my messages. I am open to discussing and exchanging ideas with another writer. I’m particularly interested in co-creating a planetary system and bouncing creative ideas back and forth.
- which wips or writing projects are you noodling about lately
I'm currently working on fleshing out a novel titled Journals from The Whitmore Estate, which is a modern/historical fiction story. The novel explores the slave and civil war era, and also delves into our near future. It centers around the actions of a power-hungry ancestor who sought to shift power dynamics, and the resulting centuries of generational backlash.
- how long have you been working on them?
Its been about a few months, I had to take a break to give myself new perspectives and coming to a decision on who the main character was!
- do you remember what inspired them/what got you started
I was looking at writing prompts and came across one that said something along the lines of “Your character inherits a manor from a distant relative. Upon moving in, they discover what lies within its walls, answering why your family has been plagued by bad luck for as long as anyone can remember.”
- how much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?
Wayyy too much! Now rhat I've found the main character, I can't put it down!
- when someone ask the dreaded "what do you write about?" question what do you usually say?
“I write whatever comes to mind!” Or “You can read my writings to find out.” 😗
- name any characters you created. Side characters, protagonist, antagonist, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!
Kirjani is my favorite oc to date! Her chosen family: Rick, Raelin, and Lena. The three sisters from the Isles of Aurorith! Imani, Jade and Jasmine, the first ocs I ever created, they deserve their story to be told. (I’m working on it!!) My scrapped character folder is at about 60 something, but the one I just couldn't figure out completely was their grandmother Queen Amara, those who've followed me for a while probably remember her! She was just a bit too sinister and I tried to work around certain motivations and rationality kept getting in the way 🤣 I might use her for another story of mine I've been thinking about
- who’s the most unhinged?
I think it would be between Amara or Kirjani for sure. One of them is justifiably so, the other… not so much LOL
- who comes the most naturally for you to write?
Jules a gay sophmore in high school who is grieving the sudden loss of his mother (I haven't introduced him yet!) He's the first character I've ever based on myself or someone like me rather.
- do you ever cringe at them?
Oh yeah, that’s when I'm writing his best romantic scenes. Love, especially teen romance is supposed to be cringy and awkward at times. That's what makes it so!
- how much control do you feel you have over your characters? do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? to what degree? are some less cooperative than others?
They literally form their own lives that I just go with, its their world I’m just living in and writing it! I'm considerably outnumbered lmao
- do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? and do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? for example, as asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on ao3, etc.
More than words can express, that's why I love sharing my characters and their personalities. I want to open discussions on humanity and how the human condition can create dynamically and perplexing people!
- what makes you want to follow another writeblr account? do you follow ‘em as you see ‘em, or take time scoping out the blog to make sure you align with its content? do you follow based on wips, or vibes?
I don't really have enough mutuals or followers, so I follow people based on their creativity and if they're on Writeblr. I don't have much discernment at the moment :)
- what makes you decide against following?
Just depends. I guess I haven't found a page I've ever said, “Oh no, can't follow that,” too.
- do you interact with non-mutuals often?
Not really, and if I follow you and you don't follow me back, I will give you 24 hours before I unfollow. We're all creatives here; no one is more creative than the next person, in my opinion.
This was so much fun to answer, I have so many more tags to do, but I’m not gonna stress ah finishing them all today 🥲 I have some short stories I wanna post as well from the weekend.
I tag @leahpardo-pa-potato, @slenders1ckn3ss, and @coffeewritesfiction. + open tag to any writer interested!

Clone | Part 1
Robert Sheehan x Reader x Female!Robert Sheehan | 🍆🍑👀
Tumblr media
A/N: I’ve been sitting on this forever and it just seems like a waste to have it languishing in my WIPs folder, so I’m gonna split it into three (increasingly sexy) parts and give y’all one a week. It’s not strictly RPF - more like original characters based on you-know-who. If you like this chapter, please lemme know coz it’ll motivate me to write the *ahem*… climax.
CW: Smutty but very tame by my standards. Includes numerous health & safety violations at work culminating in a blow-job related accident.
Words: 2.5k
Gif by @circumstellars
THE LAB is quiet. Everyone else went home hours ago. As you raise your head from your microscope, you’re not expecting to feel two soft hands enveloping your eyes. The sensation startles you, but then a gentle Irish voice whispers in your ear, “Guess who?”
“Graham Norton,” you say with confidence.
He lifts his hands from your eyes and pops his head over your shoulder.
“Do I really sound like Graham Norton,” he says, pretending to be offended.
You reach up to your boyfriend’s face with a smile and bring his familiar lips to yours.
“Only sometimes,” you say once your mouths part. “How did you get in here? Didn’t you get stopped by security?”
“What, old man Joe on the door?” he asks, perching on the lab stool next to yours. “Nah, we’re old friends, me and him.”
You give him a questioning look.
“I signed some stuff for his granddaughter,” he says by way of explanation.
You roll your eyes; Joe is such a pushover. Considering the kind of work you’re involved in, one would think your employers would be keen to enforce stricter security protocols.
“It should not be that easy to get in here. This is highly sensitive work,” you say, shaking your head as you carefully pack away your slides.
“What’re you working on, anyway?” he asks, squinting to look down your microscope.
You slip your hand over it, obscuring his view.
“Listen, Irish,” you say, using his preferred nickname, “this is top secret shit, okay? You can’t just come in here and start messing around.”
“C’mon,” he says, flashing you his trademark smile. “I’m just trying to take an interest in my girlfriend’s work.” His hands loop around your waist and he draws you closer. You feel his hot breath on your face as his lips find yours again, kissing away your protestations.
His face comes away and you look into his deep green eyes. Much like old Joe succumbs to his charms with frightening regularity, Irish has on more than one occasion convinced you to bend the rules for him with his formidable powers of persuasion.
This is different though, this could get you into a lot of trouble. The lab might be deserted, but still you look around to check if the coast is clear.
“Okay, if I show you this one thing you have to promise me you won’t say a word to anyone,” you say.
He raises three fingers to his forehead and smiles.
“Scout’s honour,” he replies.
Tumblr media
“This is Pedro,” you say, lifting the small white rabbit from its cage and holding it tightly to your body.
“Aw, hey, Pedro!” Irish says, reaching out to pet the shivering creature’s ears. “Is this what you wanted to show me? Because I’ve seen a bunny rabbit before, you know.” He pulls his hand away and lets out an exaggerated gasp, reaching up to his cheeks in simulated shock. “You’re not going to dissect Pedro, are you? You monster!”
You bat him lightly on the arm. “No, don’t be daft, I’m not going to hurt him,” you say, carrying the small animal to the other side of the lab. “We’re just going to do a little experiment, aren’t we, Pedro?” you add, murmuring into the rabbit’s soft fur.
Tumblr media
You lead Irish and the rabbit to the end of the lab, where two large Perspex cylindrical booths reach from the floor to the ceiling. A short series of satisfying pips accompanies your fingers on the keypad belonging to the left booth, the curved wall of which rolls open, allowing you to carefully place Pedro on the floor inside. A few seconds, the door slides closed automatically and you move to the large dual computer monitors at a nearby desk, tapping away at the keyboard.
“If you’re going to make him disappear, wouldn’t it be easier to use a big top hat?” Irish quips.
“Shush, I’m concentrating,” you admonish him. Finally, and with a flourish, you hit the Enter key.
“Cloning sequence initialised,” says a computerised voice, followed by a flurry of electronic whirring sounds that echo around the empty lab.
Irish’s eyes search for the source of the noise before settling eventually at the end of the lab. Slowly, both cylinders begin to fill with neon green smoke until the rabbit has disappeared completely beneath the heavy fog.
“Pedro!” he cries. “You fucking gassed him!”
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine,” you assure him.
He steps forward and presses his hands against the Perspex tube, his face illuminated by the bright green mist.
“This is mental,” he whispers, watching as the coloured gas swirls inside the cylinder, before finally being sucked into a vent at the top.
“Subject discharged,” says the computerised voice and the door of the left cylinder rolls open again, a puff of the remaining gas escaping into the lab. Unmoved, Pedro hops out and you scoop him up, placing him on the desk.
“See?” you say, indicating to the rabbit. “He’s totally fine.”
Irish reaches out to pet him and Pedro’s tiny nose twitches with excitement.
“Hey buddy,” Irish whispers.
Now the gas begins to clear from the right cylinder. You both turn to watch as the cloud of green smoke shoots up into the vent.
“Cloning sequence complete,” says the computerised voice.
The door to the right cylinder rolls open and you crouch down to reach inside, pulling out another small, white rabbit.
Irish’s jaw falls open as you stand, bringing the animal over to the desk.
“This,” you say, allowing the two rabbits to make their introductions, “is Petra.”
“What the fu-” Irish says under his breath.
“She’s identical to Pedro in every way. Well, every way but one, obviously. All of the clones have come out female so far. We’re still working out some of the design kinks.”
“You invented a fucking cloning machine?” he says, the magnitude of what he’s just witnessed finally dawning on him.
You shrug: “Well, I helped.”
He crouches down until his head is level with the desk, watching with fascination as the two rabbits sniff each other with curiosity.
Pedro hops around the desk, then approaches Petra from behind, mounting her without hesitation and beginning to rut with a certain level of determination.
Irish gives out a high-pitched laugh: “Ha! They seem to like each other.”
“Oh,” you chuckle, “yeah, they do that sometimes.” You lift Pedro off his female counterpart and place him back down on the desk. “Horny little buggers.”
“Gives me an idea,” he says, rising and turning to you with a familiar look in his eyes.
“Here?” you ask, incredulous.
“Yeah,” he says, wrapping his hands around your ass and drawing you closer. “All this clever clogs stuff really turns me on,” he growls, biting his bottom lip.
You put up a weak protest as his mouth begins to travel around your neck. “Someone might come in…”
“No one’s gonna come in, there’s no one here,” he says, his lips dotting the space behind your ear with persuasive little kisses.
You let out a gentle sigh, signalling your assent. You know it’s risky to fool around in the lab, but you have to admit it’s been a long-time fantasy of yours. Besides, you always let him have his own way in the end - he’s just too damn hard to resist.
“Mmmn… you smell so good,” he murmurs into your neck, his voice melting any lasting trace of resistance on your part.
You run your hands underneath his tank top and press his body to yours, feeling his warmth envelop you.
His lips are on yours now, his tongue teasing your mouth open as his hands move under your clothes.
You start to remove your long white lab coat, but he stops you, tugging it back over your shoulders.
“No, no, leave the lab coat on,” he whispers with a smile, “it’s sexy.”
Now he’s pressing his hands into your flesh over your clothes, drawing you closer as his lips move to your ear.
“Your big fucking brain turns me on so much,” he says, nibbling the side of your neck. “I just want to bend you over one of these lab benches and fuck you senseless.”
As fun as that sounds, you have other ideas. Pulling away from him, you lift his tank top over his head and his fluffy curls bounce around his ears as you drop the garment to the floor. He grins that irresistible grin at you - the one that sparks something raw and animalistic inside you. Feeling bold, you press your palms into his chest, pushing him up against one of the cylinders.
“There’ll be time for that,” you say, allowing him to feel your breath on his face before your lips seek him out again.
He moans into your kiss, his breaths becoming short and staggered as your hands find his belt buckle. You tug on his fly and reach inside for his cock, feeling him already straining against the thin material of his underwear.
His eyes close and he presses his head against the curved Perspex as you palm him, rolling him between your lightly tented fingers.
He exhales one long, jagged breath: “Oh, you’re teasing me,” he complains with clenched eyes, his voice straining under your feathery touch.
You love to watch him like this, each stroke of your hand releasing more whispered pleas from his lips.
Now you’re tracing tiny kisses down the length of his body, dragging his clothes off as you go. You pull his trousers down to his ankles and he shakes his feet out of them, kicking his flip flops off at the same time.
Kneeling in front of him, you grab his naked ass and pull him towards your face, rolling circles around him with your tongue.
“Ah, please, please,” he begs under his breath.
He whimpers as you finally take him into your mouth, pushing his hips against the curved plastic wall behind him.
Slowly, indulgently, your mouth moves over him, pulling him towards you with two firm hands clasped around his ass.
As your lips reach the light scattering of hair at the base, he releases a heavy exhale, the air leaving his lungs in one, long relieved chuckle. You cast your eyes up to meet his and he reaches down to stroke your hair, a delighted smile on his face.
“You look so good like that,” he says, moving his hips in a tentative rhythm.
You start to pick up speed, swirling your tongue around his length with each bob of your head until his back is pressed against the booth, his breathing coming now in short, anguished gasps.
Before long, you’re diving on him, aided by your hand, sucking and slurping, drooling and gagging. He begins to thrust his hips into your face and you sense he’s getting close.
Approaching the edge, his legs begin to buckle and he reaches behind him to steady himself, his fingers scrabbling for purchase on whatever they can find.
As his moans of encouragement ring around the lab, you hear a short series of satisfying pips.
His cock pops from your mouth and you look up at him. “What was that noise, was that the keypad?” you ask.
“Huh? What?” he says, looking down at you over his heaving chest, unable to hide his displeasure that you’ve suddenly stopped sucking his dick at the crucial juncture.
At that moment, the cylinder door rolls open and he topples asslong inside the tube, smacking his curly head hard against the inside wall and landing in a naked heap on the floor.
“Irish!” you call out, scrambling to your feet.
Before you can react, the cylinder door has closed around his unconscious body, trapping him inside.
“Irish!” you call again, hammering on the cylinder to wake him up, but he’s out cold.
Your fingers are frantic, hammering on the keypad, but in your panic you hit the wrong buttons and the machine beeps at you in stubborn refusal.
You race around to the desk, but you’re a split second too late. You watch as Pedro does a slow-motion bounce across the keyboard, giving the Enter key a firm smack with his furry foot as he leaps out of your way.
“Cloning sequence initialised,” says the computerised voice.
“No!” you cry. “No, no, no, no!”
Your shaking fingers bash uselessly at the keys, trying to find a way to stop the sequence, but you know it’s futile - there’s nothing you can do at this point.
“Shit. Shitshitshit.”
You watch as the cloud of neon green gas begins to curl around Irish’s body and you run back to the cylinder, crouching down as he disappears beneath the lurid fog.
“Irish! Irish, wake up! Irish!” you shout, still banging on the Perspex as his bodily form sinks beneath the gas.
“Oh God, ohgodohgod,” you say in quiet panic, pressing your palms and forehead to the tube as it fills until you can no longer make out his form beneath the fog. After what feels like an age, you hear the familiar sound of the vent springing to life, sucking the neon mist off his body.
“Subject discharged,” says the computer as the door swings open.
You crawl inside, choking on the remaining gas as you lean over his crumpled, lifeless form.
“Irish, Irish, baby, wake up,” you plead, cradling his head and slapping him on the cheeks.
His pretty green eyes blink open and he grimaces as he comes to, a hand seeking out the back of his skull.
“Ow. Fuck, my head!” he manages, wincing.
“Oh, thank God. I thought you were dead.”
“No, I’m fine,” he says, struggling to sit up. “Just a bump on the head is all, I’ll live.”
You reach around his head to feel for lumps inside his soft curly hair. He’s not bleeding, but he’s clearly dazed.
“Maybe we should take you to the emergency room, just in case. You could have a concussion,” you say, fussing over him.
“No, seriously, I’m fine, I’m fi-”
“Cloning sequence complete,” interrupts the computer, the synthetic voice bouncing around the lab.
He freezes and looks at you, his eyes wide.
“It only works on rabbits, right?” he asks.
You shake your head, terror visible in your face. “We’ve only ever tested it on rabbits,” you squeak, unable to hide the panic in your voice.
You lift him to his feet and emerge from the cylinder just as the door to the other tube rolls open, releasing a light gasp of green gas into the lab.
You both stand there, your mouths open, as one long leg emerges from the vestibule, then another, followed by a slender figure. Your eyes take in the tall torso, the narrow hips, the slim waist, the small, perfectly formed breasts, the head of long, chocolate-coloured ringlets and then, finally, those unmistakable green eyes.
“Oh, fuck. Irish, what did we fucking do?”

Wip Round Up
Thank you for the tag @fanaticsnail .... unfortunately it's the same things I've been working on for like, the past month 😬
Though to make this a little more interesting, I'll add some loosely thought-out ideas I've been brewing up and hope to get to in the future!
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!
Buggy:
Songbird pt. 9 -> finished and published!
Siren Song pt. 1
The Luck Child - Chapter 2 -> finished and uploaded!
The Contortionist:
an idea I got from the song of the same name by Melanie Martinez. It would be about the skittish contortionist character I've sprinkled into most of my Buggy works here...if anyone noticed her. It might be a spin-off to my The Agreement series, but it could also work as a stand-alone. This might be my first Oc fic on here if I ever get around to writing it!
Mihawk:
Little Game pt. 4
Confidence pt. 3 (request)
Sanji:
Through Shadow pt. 3
Dancing in the rain:
This is another fic set during the Alabasta arc (sorry I can't help it. It's my favorite arc so far). You came from Alabasta and you went looking for Princess Vivi so you've been traveling with the Straw Hats since you found her again. The main "story" for this fic is going to be when rain finally comes back to your home and you are so happy you finally laugh again and it a sound Sanji has never heard you make before (and he loves it obviously lol). You ask him to dance in the rain and that's all I have so far about that one. I envisioned this idea while listening to the song September by Sparky Deathcap. Just For One Dance -> finished and published!
Zoro:
The one thing Zoro can find
Demons and Claws pt. 2 (requested) -> finished and uploaded!
Shanks:
Feral Attraction
Drunk Kisser:
Shanks is a drunk kisser. I think it's something we can all agree on lol. The idea is he's kissed everyone on his crew but you....drama ensues, maybe you'll get a little kiss...or two
Alvida:
Pink and Glitter (request)
Nami:
She gives you a glass of water
You're training with Zoro on the deck and Nami give you a glass of water. It's very suspicious because she has never once done something like that for the others. You and Zoro are just kinda confused about it until Usopp starts teasing Nami.....I haven't decided if this is gonna be a spicy fic or not...and that's all I have for this one
Crocodile:
Blood and Sand
Your blood has the ability to amplify Devil Fuirt user's abilities and Crocodile takes what he wants....that's it so far ahhhh! 🫣
No pressure tags!
@galaxycunt , @lostfirefly , @empressofmankind (anything new since last time?? I would love to see it!)

Artfight Postmortem
as you may know, i am prone to reflection on my art and process and progress. herein, i'm gonna navel gaze a bit about artfight 2024.
top line: really enjoyed myself, did a bunch of new things and this was "The Year of Artist Friends" which is spectacular.
i completed 20 attacks this year, including my first ever mass attacks! altogether I drew 28 different characters (incl 4 of my own).
for the first time, I had *users* i wanted to attack, rather than just characters i'd gathered via search or discord. honestly, three years ago when i picked up the stylus i was just excited at the prospect of drawing for other people, period. artfight was a cool way to be in community without prerequisites. i didn't quite dare to dream i might make some real connections and make proper friends. and yet :) here we are! i went in with three 'art friends' and i'm leaving with at least three more
in addition to being the year of artist friends, this could be "the year of clip studio paint was on megasale a week before artfight" because i knocked out like 2 practice pieces before July 1st so i wouldn't be starting with completely unfamiliar tools, but i used/learned csp for the vast majority of my attacks. one i finished in krita (lonnie), and my final attack i only used krita.
definitely trial-by-fired myself! but it motivated me to explore csp, and most important, gave me a reason to practice practice practice. last year i drew almost exclusively humans, lots of full bodys, because i wanted to get a better grip on anatomy and drawing a variety of faces. it worked then, and, well, i think i learned more of csp in one month of artfight than i would have if i was just plodding through my personal projects for 33 days :) *looks at my wip folder with months old files* pretty sure.
ok i'm gonna look at a few faves/standouts now:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
came in hot with 0tt0 here! the main brush for this one (froggy pencil) was a mainstay for the whole month. so versatile!!! and lovely texture. this isn't quiiite brat green but this was what made me go, hmm, what if i... did a few pieces inspired by this album i can't stop listening to?
and then i took a huge turn and just used a soft round brush for Desa and Iryna for my dear friend @bobomcfoe bc i really wanted to turn these out in something approaching my "usual style" of late and i feared getting too deep into the temptations of csp if i put them off. and, um, yeah i love them. i got sooo close to matching that angle but ahh i can see the tilt now! nonetheless, love these two, not least bc brookie has some of the most pleasing color palettes to work w :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then on to Rosé and baby's first vector lines! you can RESIZE lines in csp. did you know that? i didn't know that. i did forget to use it as much as i could have in later ones though, so i still only kinda know it ig. and halftone shading! bc why not? another thing i really only did this once, but want to experiment with more
Rook here, for my new friend @gender-premium-tm, was me realizing how to use filters/filter layers in csp. now THAT is something i used a lot this month! also something i use often in krita. i must say, though the csp options are slightly more limited (afaik), they have oomph!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay these two are my "explicitly brat pieces"! artfight keeps you moving, which i find really valuable, bc i could have dithered foreverrr over Lonnie's gif here. like, do i add his arm? maybe he should be wearing a shirt? or, what if i just draw him twice, instead of splitting the expressi--see it just never ends. and as i am always going on about, art is so precious bc it is a reflection of us when we make it. maybe for some future artfight i'll redraw this (as Lonnie's artist @wenmistry did for me with Ebon this year), but for july 2024, i'm amazed at how well i executed this for just 2.5 days of work! (i did forget his glasses, which realization gave me a different take on the composition, so this is high on my list of potential redraws)
and then Aagatha. this is in my top 3 for this year. the pink just works so well with the green and her artist added the song to her character playlist AND added the necklace to her actual dnd inventory. like. omg. the impact your art can have!!! how freaking cool is that???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
two mass attacks! i was in a silly goofy mood. i feel like i really got a handle on vectors w the anthro mass attack, i adjusted every single point on that one by hand. weird what hyperfocus makes you do sometimes, but i learned a lot from that. mainly that i will probably never user vectors as my main linework tool. there are circumstances it is perfect for, and outside of that i'm good w my raster lines lol
which is exactly what i used for this other mass attack, featuring mostly my ocs. hey, sometimes you need to shake things up! i can see here the style starting to hew back to my "usual style", though i'm thinking that might have a lot to do with drawing 5 people very quickly. falling back on practiced techniques. and by this time i apparently knew csp well enough to reproduce them pretty closely! ooh, one thing this made me miss was the transform tool in krita. that floor was ROUGH to wrestle into place in csp.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
purple and green turned up a lot this year!
Echo is my crowning achievement with the froggy pencil, most of the shading here is just layers w that. and one last nod to brat green :)
i've worked in the paper cut style before (both my pfp's use it) but i really exploited csp's clipping layers to make Scraps here. they did make me briefly forget how they work in krita when i switched back, so well done w that
i played with gradient maps a little earlier in the month but for Okanar i actually made my own gradient! really a useful tool for ref'ing real human skin tones to make non-human ones, without muddying them up too much.
Tumblr media
finally, Chaos. this actually might be my favorite! ironically this is the one that i made in krita. it was like, ahh, yes my old friend. wait where is the scroll bar. ah, okay, yes my old friend... the line layer is set to burn which just makes the whole thing so warm (and the cause of the red outlines on the earrings). used my old sable brush, a pattern fill set to overlay... my old stomping grounds! but plus a rendering technique i picked up this month and some other random habits i picked up in csp (like copying a detail to a new layer, moving it where i want a copy, and drawing/tracing it back onto the original layer in the new position. nothing i couldn't have been doing in krita all along, but made easier by the tool layout in csp, and therefore now discovered by me. amazing how one integrates new knowledge. it's like magic sometimes!!!)
that was a good roundup! if you actually read this to the end, wow! and thank you! i hope it was interesting... and inspiring! bc i want to read about your process and reflections too! yes you! and plz tag me, i'm always down to gush about art XD

Okay, let's try something (potentially) fun. I have this WIP that will probably stay a WIP forever, collecting dust in my google sheets folder. So I figured ... why not release it into the wild and see if someone else wants to pick it up.
And by someone else, I mean ... anybody who wants to. You don't have to finish it. For all I care, just add a single sentence and see if someone else will give it a go - with or without your addition. Or someone else's. Whatever.
Sounds confusing? It really isn't. All you gotta do is click on this little thingie
Tumblr media
You will find it when you click on the notes of any post and it will show the reblogs of said post, and how they are connected.
Anyway, this might be fun, or this might end up a complete failure. We'll see, I guess. And now, without further ado:
The first time it happened, Kylo was standing next to Hux in Snoke’s throne room, making a somewhat rude comment about something the other man had just said. Stiff and straight, Hux stared right ahead, only the way his thin lips were pressed together betraying his distaste. It amused Kylo greatly to rile him up, to cause a crack in that otherwise impeccable countenance of his. The man was simply insufferable, a self-righteous prick. And Kylo was – not for the first time – glad for his mask, as he didn’t have to try and hide his gloating smirk, when Hux was dismissed by Snoke pretty unceremoniously.
He strode away briskly, the soles of his perfectly shined boots clicking loudly on the polished obsidian floor, his contempt for Kylo almost palpable in the air. And then, just when he was about to leave the throne room, the clacking sound stopped for a second, and Kylo could feel Hux’s gaze burning on the back of his neck.
It was then that he heard it for the first time. Hux’s voice, loud and clear, rang out directly in his mind, like he was broadcasting his thoughts directly towards Kylo.
Step on my throat, Kylo Ren, you rudely large man. Break my fingers, you brooding mountain.
Kylo almost stumbled, his eyes under the mask going wide. What … the fuck?! Was the force malfunctioning somehow? Could the force even malfunction? It had to be, because there was just no way General Stick-Up-His-Ass Hux had just thought … that!
“You are distracted”, Snoke chided. “If you cannot focus on the matters at hand, you are of no use to me.”
Chastised, Kylo bowed his head. “I will meditate to clear my mind of all disturbances.”
“See that you do,” Snoke dismissed him. “Go.”
Oh, and this is what this is about - it's funny, go watch it XD
youtube
But again, it doesn't matter if you want to continue in this vein or not. Just do you!
Enjoy!
