WIP (not) Wednesday

It can be Wednesday if you never know what day it is.

The lovely @floating-in-the-blue challenged me to post a little snippet of one of my wips and honestly I had the hardest time because everything was either super angsty or very long so I settled on this. Just for you, some Willie from the Foster Care AU.

Tía Victoria had just left for Pilates, but she’d come by to drop off some food because ‘I’m sure you kids want something other than spaghetti again’. Reggie had given her these big puppy eyes and told her he loved Ray’s spaghetti, but that her cooking was amazing too, so thank you. Honestly, Willie would commit several crimes for Victoria’s arroz con pollo, but he still nodded. Ray was doing his best, even if his best involved a lot of pasta. 

For anyone who wants an excuse to post a snippet, I am tagging @jatp-spinsb, @invisibleraven, @daintyduck99, @bananakarenina and @jmrothwell

Wip Word Finding Game

Hullo, @innytoes tagged me in this a couple days ago and the stars have aligned enough to let me speak on the internet so here goes!

Okay so I cannot find any sunshine. Apparently that is just not a word I use when I write. So here's a Star instead!

Julie jumped, almost falling off her stool. She whirled around to see Luke standing in the doorway with a soft smile on his face. Her face flushed. No one was supposed to hear that.

“Sorry, did I wake you up?” she asked, standing and grabbing the tablet.

“Nah I was just helping Carlos brainstorm a ghost video. Did you get anything good on there?” he asked, pointing to the device.

“What, no, I didn’t record anything,” Julie lied. “You’re on your own, rockstar boy.”

(From the Jem and the Holograms AU where Julie is afraid of being on camera.)

Grin

“I’ll help set it up!” Carlos jumped in eagerly. “Trapping cats is way easier than trapping ghosts.”

Julie rolled her eyes at her brother but grinned. They all had their weird lockdown fixations. Julie baked, their dad started drawing on sticky notes and leaving them everywhere, and Carlos hunted ghosts.

(From the Molina Foster Kittens fic where they can't keep the new kitten in the garage....)

Small

She snagged a grey hoodie off the back of a kitchen chair and pulled it on. It definitely belonged to one of her brothers, though god only knew which one. It dwarfed her small frame, helping shut out the chill of the morning. A glance out the window told her that Tia Victoria had already left for work, so her dad was the only parent home. And he didn’t really share his sister-in-law’s distaste for people eating on the furniture as long as nothing spilled…

(From the Jem and the Holograms AU where Julie has a lot of adopted brothers and doesn't want to deal with eating at the table)

Sigh

Alex chuckled and took a long sip of his tea before moving over to stand between Willie’s knees. “This better?” he checked, setting the mug down beside Willie’s hip so he could wrap his arms around their waist.

“Yes,” Willie sighed contentedly, letting himself fall forward into Alex’s embrace. 

Alex chuckled and pulled them closer. “Come on, let’s get you to bed,” he murmured.

(From the fic where everyone dances around the house together and Willie is very sleepy)

Plant

Julie wasn’t sure what to say. Her head was spinning. It felt wrong that losing the house was even possible. Sure, money had been tight this year, but how had it gotten here?

Tia Victoria stood and walked around the kitchen table to plant a kiss on the top of Julie’s head. “It’ll all be alright, you get some rest.”

Julie rose slowly. “Goodnight,” she mumbled as she headed up the stairs to her attic room.

(From the Jem and the Holograms AU where Julie is suddenly aware of financial issues)

Sue me, that JatH AU is the longest current project I have. I haven't touched it in like a month though. School is destroying my brain.

Tagging @linden-after-hours, @caswellseyes, @lockwoodsco, @fandomscraziness22, and anyone else who wants to play!

Your words are fly, smirk, laugh, run, and star!

My last time playing Pressure Roblox I got my ass killed by a wall crawler bitch so I drew my Roblox avatar to cope. Btw when I play roblox I play exclusively tycoons and don't talk to anyone because I'm antisocial online too

[sad-leon]

Welcome to the Shadow Leo au :D

It's a lotta text, but I don't know if I'll make a fic for this au. It'll probably be a lotta fics and doodles. Asks are encouraged :D

When Splinter explodes Draxum's lab, a crystal Draxum wanted to experiment that held a bunch of shadow power, dropped on Leo, fusing him into shadows. He can only appear where there is shadow, so he can't go outside alone or in really bright rooms.

He can choose whether to be visible or not in a shadow he occupies, so if he's around strangers, he stays hidden.

Because of all the light from the explosions, he hides in Donnie's shadow as Splinter leaves. He doesn't show himself to anyone outside of Donnie for a long time. It's only when they're toddlers that they speak. Leo's speaks first and scares the hell outta Donnie. His voice has a bit of an echo-reverb tone, but otherwise normal.

Donnie tries to show everyone, but eventually let's Leo explain that he's scared of meeting everyone. He grew up with Donnie, they know all about each other and their triggers and such. Leo doesn't have that familiarity with the others and he's scared of breaking down in front of them.

When Donnie brings April to the lair, Leo is excited at the prospect of meeting someone who is also an outsider. When she and Donnie hang out in the lab, Leo shows himself to her. She tries to punch him, she just bruises her knuckled on the wall. Over the years, April, Donnie, and Leo become an indestructible trio.

The fam still doesnt know about Leo when they break into Draxum's lab. Draxum immediatly notices Leo in the shadows and gathers all his mystic crystals to try and break his shadow powers. On of the crystals he hits Leo with grants him the ability to emerge from the walls, though his still looks all shadowy.

Leo still chooses to hide in Donnie's shadow, though he ventures out on his own a bit more now that he can hold swords and stuff. Leo still steals the odachi from Draxum, but his use of it is limited to only slicing, though if Donnie swings it, Leo can influence the portals if he's connected to Donnie's shadow.

[Sidenote: when the brother unlock their Ninpo, Leo unlocks his as well, granting him ability to use his portals himself. He can also do the funky teleportation thing.]

---

Leo's out on his own one night when he see's Usagi hanging around the turtle fam's lair. He appears to the rabbit and surprisingly, the rabbit doesnt freak out. Usagi and Leo are quick friends. Leo tells Donnie about Usagi and convinces Donnie to meat the rabbit and eventually, Usagi becomes an honorary turtle, just like April.

---

(Leo is still Casey's future sensei, but by then they had found something, a charm or a potion, that made him physical. When Casey asks about him, Donnie avoids eye contact, but everyone else is confused.)

(The key is snatched by the foot clan because Raph couldn't get to it fast enough. Leo tries to blame himself because if he wasn't so scared he could have used his portals to get it. Donnie won't let him blame himself, and neither will anyone else when they finally meet him.)

During the movie events, Leo connects to Raph's shadow when Mikey and Donnie get flung off. He makes himself physical and pushes Raph toward his brothers. He also snatches Raph's wrist comm. Raph is too panicked to consider what just happened and jumps off to catch his brothers.

He shouts for CJ to close the portal. Casey immediatly follows the command shouted by his sensei's voice before he can process it. Leo stays physical long enough to keep Kraang distracted, then ducks into the shadows.

With the whole Prison Dimension being basically one big shadow, Leo is able to stay hidden after the portal closes. He doesnt heal in the shadows, but his inuries don't worsen. It takes about a year until Leo finds his sword and portals himself home.

-

Donnie, April, and Usagi are all a fucking wreck in a way no one understands, no matter how much they explain Leo and his predicament. Raph explains that he was pushed by a shadow and Donnie breaks down on the spot. Because even though Leo would never meet the fam, he'd still sacrifice himself for them.

For months, Donnie begs Casey Jr to tell him how Future Mikey opened a portal, but CJ won't say anything past explaining how it killed Future Mikey.

Donnie doesn't stop looking for any sign of Leo, but after months he has no choice but to move on. Leo's sword was put in a glass, guarded case after Donnie tried to use it to portal to Leo.

Sometimes Donnie sits in a dark corner and talks to himself.

Then one day, the alarm attached to Leo's sword goes off. Everyone thinks it's Donnie trying to portal again, but they all rush in to see a shadowy Leo injured, on the ground. Donnie breaks down on the spot, but tries to pull himself together enough to help with bandaging what they can see of Leo's wounds.

Leo wakes up to his family around him and finally lets himself meet the rest of his brothers.

hello!! just wondering whether anyone would be interested in a September-based art & writing event focussed on celebrating the female characters in the LU fandom?

i've been thinking about trying to organise something like this for a few months now, but i'm finally speaking up, because this morning i had an idea...

we could call it:

✨Sepfember✨

anyway, if you'd be interested in a september event, let me know!

[tora-the-cat]

An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

I was tagged (years ago) by @kimseokjinn to show before and after of my gifs so here we are 🥰

as you can see it’s nothing much, I just like to bring back some color to their skin (it goes differently each time🫣) I also like to turn up the main colors if there any or just keep the image clean 🥰

Last Line (+ word count tag)

The lovely @bananakarenina tagged me. The last WIP I worked on was the foster care AU, where Ray just got a phone call from the social worker about a certain skateboarder who needs a new placement.

But mostly, what he heard between the lines was a kid who was hurting, who needed a safe place that would let him be himself, where he could get support.

At the moment, with all the planning, the Foster Care AU word doc has 45850 words. The actually written part is 42218 words, and I’m on chapter 14 of probably-28-but-that-keeps-changing. I’m writing this one pretty linear, so no jumping around chapters for me. (Except for the Jello Condom Incident.)

Tagging @daintyduck99, @floating-in-the-blue, @jatp-spinsb, @legolasghosty, @salamandergoo and anyone else who wants to do the thing.

First Lines Tag Game

Thanks @molinapattersons for the tag!

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. If you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics.

Luke fidgeted uncomfortably in his chair. It was a bit awkward spending time with Grandma Annie when she fell asleep halfway through him telling her about his latest gig with the guys.

(From In Our Hearts A Hopeful Song)

Harry watched as Ron and his new wife, Lavender Brown, prepared to leave their little house, trying to ignore the pounding in his skull.

(From Even Though I Hate You (I Wanna Love You), aka my one and only not JatP fic)

Alex laughed as he followed his boyfriend through the empty museum. Willie was rambling a mile a minute about the exhibit they were sneaking in to see, but Alex could only catch one word in five as they ran through the halls.

(From Your Colors Show Me Your History)

Kissing and being kissed by Alex was like learning a new language. But Willie had to admit they were a little more dedicated to this than they were to the two years of Spanish they had to take in high school. How could they not be? This was so much better.

(From You Are My Favorite Place)

Alex loves Carrie. He’s really glad that she and Flynn are finally able to get married, and he’s honored that Carrie asked him to be in her bridal party. But, in this single moment, he really wishes he were somewhere else.

(From I Shouldn't Keep Loving You (But I Like it When You Hold My Hand))

Alex groans as he stuffs his key into the lock of his and Willie’s apartment door and twists.

(From Love Is Forever(Even When You Make A Mess))

Alex leaned back against the kitchen counter in his and Willie’s apartment, looking into the living room at his partner, surrounded by their friends.

(From All of Me, Honestly, Is Dedicated to Hold You)

Julie laughed as she followed her brother around the high school Halloween Festival. Their parents trailed behind, but Carlos was eager to see everything laid out across the huge field behind Los Feliz High School and kept racing ahead. 

(From Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy)

Julie stood still for a long moment as the last notes of Stand Tall faded out around them. Then she spun around to face her boys, all standing around the garage where they were rehearsing.

(From I Didn't Know You Knew, which is way too serious of a title for what the fic actually is....)

Alex glanced nervously at the light blue gift bag sitting on the coffee table as he made breakfast. It looked like a pretty normal birthday present, and was far from the only thing Alex had for his partner today, but he kept second-guessing its contents.

(From It's New, It Looks Good On You)
