This au has me in a chokehold- I cant- help-

This is one of the very first scenes for “Worse Than a Love Square”! I’ve started working on the fic for it! Nothings been posted just yet as I have other works to finish first, but I thought it’d be fun to do a little preview!!! (I’m not a comic creator so it’s very rough but I love the scene and wanted to doodle it out!!!)

So here’s the first time Mumbo meets Hotguy and Cuteguy in person!!!! (The actual writing is below the cut!!! Please excuse any errors in it as it’s just the first draft lol)

<-Previous Post | Next Post->

Chapter 1- Worse Than a Love Square

“Are you alright, Mister?” Hotguy asks as he places Mumbo down on the blessed ground in an alley to keep them from prying eyes.

Mumbo could kiss the disgusting concrete under his feet, he’s so grateful to be back down here. Getting grabbed off the street to be used as a body shield for a villain being shot at was unfair, in Mumbo’s unbiased opinion.

He was having a perfectly normal day too! He bought himself a tea (now discarded somewhere on the sidewalk he was stolen from), he was on time for work (key word was), he had everything ready to go. But now, he’s here. Being rescued by the vigilante duo of Hotguy and Cuteguy.

Cuteguy is nowhere to be seen at the moment, so for now, it was just Mumbo and Hotguy, who is looking at him with uncertainty.

“Sir?” Hotguy asks again, “Do I need to take you to a hospital?”

“No! No, of course not!” Mumbo blurted out, partially panicked. His heart is beating violently in his chest for reasons he unfortunately understands all too well.

He has a crush on Hotguy.

But honestly, who wouldn’t?! He’s Hotguy for Heaven’s sake!

One might even call him a superfan. Mumbo kept that hidden as best he could though, his friends had no idea how much Hotguy and CuteGuy merch he had. He has a very strict rule around his place that people are not allowed to come by unannounced, only so he has enough time to hide all of his merchandise away.

If he’s honest, he’s probably had a crush on Hotguy ever since his first calendar came out. By the grace of some otherworldly being, he managed to get his hands on one when they first went on sale. Once that baby arrived at his house, he may or may not have gone through the whole thing multiple times to admire all the photos. Mumbo’s favorite one just so happened to be on his birth month, a pretty shot of Hotguy sitting on the ledge of a building, the sunset in front of him as it settled below the city in brilliant shades of pink and orange and yellow.

Not to mention, there just so happened to be another photo of Hotguy shirtless. Which Mumbo could barely look at without becoming flustered.

“I- just a little dazed from being kidnapped is all!” Mumbo says quickly. It’s a partial lie, but Hotguy surely wouldn’t be able to tell.

“Do you have any friends or family I can take you to for support?” HotGuy asks next, his brows pitched in concern behind his visor.

“No- well I do- but I can take myself over to them!” Mumbo stuttered out, his brain kept screaming ‘ALERT! ALERT! SOUND THE ALARMS, INSANELY HOT PERSON WITHIN OUR PROXIMITY. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!’ Which wasn’t very helpful at this moment.

HotGuy smiles at him, making Mumbo’s knees wobble dangerously, “if you’re sure… though I’d really hate to leave you alone after a traumatic experience.”

“HotGuy!” Another voice shouted, “where’s the-” CuteGuy came into view, catching sight of Mumbo and cutting himself off. He seemed relieved. “Oh, thank the Watchers.”

If Mumbo’s brain wasn’t screaming before, it certainly is now. ‘ALERT. EMERGENCY UPDATE. TWO EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE MEN HAVE APPEARED IN FRONT OF US. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. DO NOT REMAIN CALM.’

Mumbo couldn’t even bring himself to speak at the moment, too caught up in staring at both HotGuy and CuteGuy side by side.

“Sir?” CuteGuy asks cautiously, gently taking Mumbo’s shoulder, when Mumbo doesn’t respond (due to the words dying in his throat) he asks towards HotGuy, “we can’t leave him like this, did he tell you about any friends or family we can take him to for support?”

“What do you think I was trying to do?” HotGuy replied, his tone light so as to not be taken seriously, “he keeps insisting that he’s fine but I don’t believe him either.”

Okay, he has to say something before these two take him to a hospital.

“I’m fine! Really!” He finally manages to blurt out, though his voice cracks and betrays his panic. “I can walk myself home! Or to my friends! Or to work! Goodbye now!”

Mumbo turned to walk away, but was faced with a wall directly behind him. Ah. I appear to be cornered. I forgot HotGuy brought me into an alley.

Slowly, he turns back around, his face burning as he recognizes both of the vigilantes trying to hold back laughter.

Mumbo cleared his throat, “I just need to uh- scoot past you if you don’t mind.” Embarrassingly, his voice cracked and shook, but by this point he’s determined to go to his work and sulk at his failure to leave a good impression on the only major crushes he’s ever had.

Mumbo ducks his head as he squeezes past them, quickly rushing headfirst into the light foot traffic of the sidewalk.

He mutters apologies for bumping into someone, but he keeps up the pace. Not slowing for a second as he made his way to work.

There’s no way he can skip out on working right now. He needs a distraction from this embarrassment. Besides, pretty much all of his friends are too busy to console him right now. Though he can probably complain to Tango or Impulse about it. Maybe even Cub if he’s not too busy.

——End——

That’s all I have for the chapter so far! Honestly it’s a pretty good start in my unbiased opinion (I’m very biased)

BUT AHHH I LOVE THIS AU SO MUCH I NEED TO EXPLODE

THANK YOU DDVAU FOR INSPIRING A NEW FANFIC IDEA FOR ME TO FOCUS ON

I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THIS AS MUCH AS I DO BUT EVEN THEN IM WRITING THIS FOR ME AND WHOEVER LIKES IT TOO

[just-me-venting-cause-life-sucks]

Oh god, now I'm thinking about the overlap between Diggers(especially with his Manus Vindictae garment) and Horropedia...

I mean... I've thought about it before, I just didn't post about it.

We all know that Horropedia grew up in the SPDM (aka, the school that the St. Pavlov Foundation is controlling), and we know from watching Vertin's experience that it is not a nice place to grow up in.

Likewise, Diggers is a student of Manus Vindictae. Although, we don't know for how long, it's most likely only been about as long as Regulus has been working with Vertin(ie. Not as long as Horropedia). But, the fact he is an arcanist means that he did have to go through some good old prejudice from humans, because humans tend to have very closed mindsets, and humans don't like arcanists.

They both have an affinity for math, Horropedia using geometry to his advantage in his attacks and Diggers is currently studying mathematics as part of his being a student for the Manus and all that.

They also really enjoy art, although they have different tastes. Horropedia stays up until sunrise just so he can make time for enjoying horror stories. Diggers is a night owl who canonically does graffiti and plays guitar in his spare time.

They are also very rebellious, although their rebellion is mostly just wanting more freedom and control over their lives.

They want the people around them to be happy, and know that they care, and remember them...

And then people are driven away because of how annoying they can be.

We need them to hang out more often. Can the rest of the fan community help make them hang out more often?

continuing thoughts from This Dream AU

re : why it might have taken the gang a while to find Bruce & Floyd

how about i erase just a little bit of the plot convenience from TBT

what if, bruce's postcard didn't survive unscathed, and they had to go off of john dory's foggy memory of the thing.

so like. they're stumbling their way through a bunch of could-be-heres before they hit on the correct one.

and what if, the Vacay Resort section was legit hard to find.

like, the entire island chain is still at Vacaytioner scale, right? so even if the search party's idea to eventually look there was right, it could still take a long time to navigate thru the tropical jungle on any individual island, let alone many of them.

.... aaaaand what if i drew way too much for a potential reunion anyways because i'm a sap

[angelkissedface]

another year another SCARAMOUCHE BIRTHDAY LETS GOOOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE

[thepurplebow]

The fact that you can see them get progressively more traumatised

No Dice Thumbnails I made for Tubbo and Owengejuice :D

[nibbelraz]

binghe fights sqh and he gives no indication at being powerful or with martial ability. he realises his mistake in approach. sqh makes himself small, pathetic, and easy to bully so that he is underestimated and ignored. fighting a PERSON will only increase that. well thats fine. mobei he's gonna toss ur human into a deathmatch against beasts rq ok? u wanna watch? if he gets too out of his depth you can step in he wont stop you but he knows you ALSO want to know what that little THANG is capeable of. nature doc mobei and binghe watching sqh in some demon forest. the wild qinghua, pressured out of its natural habitat. without greater predators to form symbiotic relationships with he must fend for himself. there comes the sunburst scorpion tailed bear goat- we shall soon see how the qinghua- OH HOLY SHIT HE RIPPED ITS HEAD OFF MOBEI YOUR SCRUNKLY RIPPED ITS GODDAMN HEAD OFF

THEYRE TAKING HIM OUT OF HIS NATURAL HABITAT AND SPYING ON HIM OH this is good

He didn't know he was capable of it either

[zazzmatazz-art]

Look, I am no comic artist. But I had the idea, what if Husk hates his ears being touched in response to Alastor being the worst (/affectionate) and the thought would not release me until I did something about it lol

[utterly-disappointed]

[axiilotl]

OMG RLLY??? :00

Spur of the moment thing, but if you have any soldier oc, soldier loadout, or a soldier sona, feel free to send them in and i'll try to draw them. Nothing nsfw (cause when I did this on twitter had a couple ones that I didn't feel comfortable drawing on this SFW account.) I'll be fully transparent that I may not get to them right away due to irl duties, but wanted to keep this blog going.

[quehecke]

i love him chat
