Here is the completed art that was the winner of the poll! Some lovely Dratchet art using TFP Ratchet and my TFP design for Drift. This picture is very loosely inspired by the fic Spark Burn by milkman7 over on AO3.

I'm thinking I'm gonna work on the Megarod sketch next, as a treat ❤️

Link to the full pic as well as the fic (because that is not tumblr appropriate either lol) below the cut!

More fan art for the fic, But I don't want to be a chuunibyou!! by my friend, @meditatemoremedicateless. It's the titular scene of chapter 1!

I Tried to Summon a Demon but my Classmate is the Devil??!

In which post-Rebellion Madoka is trying to have a normal high school life but all these cute cosplaying chuunibyou girls keep calling her God and dragging her into their delusions!

Chuunibyou just recently got a second chapter and that's so exciting. I love this fic. It's so funny.

You know what, the au idea the Pine Parents/Shermy already knew about Stan's portal fascinates me.

The Drive Back to Gravity Falls

Summary: In an AU where Dipper decides to stay with Ford, Mabel’s parents aren’t happy when their daughter turns up sans brother, especially when they learn who he’s with.

When she boarded the bus, Mabel had thought she was doing the best thing for Dipper.

He had always wanted to work with something paranormal, crazy conspiracy, what have you. Gravity Falls was the door to reveal that it was all real, that it wasn’t just the production of some crazy weirdos. Even better, there was someone researching it, and it was their great-uncle. The instant she heard that offer being made over the radio, she wanted to kick and scream and cry, because Dipper agreeing meant that she would grow up alone. After all she learned about growing up, that terrified her.

But then she thought. About the bullies back home, the cruelty of children, how dull Piedmont was, about tense silences and snapped words.

She had asked so much of him during this summer. Letting him go was the best.

So Mabel had taken a deep breath at the station, hugged her grunkles, her friends, and saved Dipper for last. “It’s not going to be forever,” he had said, patting her on the back as she squeezed him tight. “You’ll be here next summer.”

“I…I know, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna miss you, you goober,” she had said, pulling away to try and smile. When she looked back, Stan was looking away and Ford looked strangely…upset. They had both been smiling, but Ford’s eyes were strangely glassy.

Then she had boarded the bus, Waddles in tow, and set off home.

The bus ride between Gravity Falls and Piedmont was about ten hours.

It was around hour six that Mabel realized that her parents would not take Dipper being gone well.

“Oh, fuck,” she hissed out, suddenly very glad that the bus was empty and nobody would scold her for swearing. On the ride up, she had spent a few hours making conversation with the other people. The empty bus had been making her think of Gravity Falls, of Dipper, and now she was definitely thinking about it. She leaned forward, burying her face in her hands and trying not to panic. “Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, they’re not gonna take this well.”

Dipper liked to think that Mabel was unaware of the crumbling of their parents’ relationship. She wasn’t. She wanted him to not worry, that was all. She maybe focused on relationships because she wanted to try and fix it, or maybe find something that was better than theirs.

“This is definitely not gonna help,” Mabel said, turning her gaze to Waddles. He snorted back. “Do you think you could draw on mushroom brain and figure out something to say that won’t make them freak out?”

Waddles snorted and curled up, closing his eyes to take a nap.

“...I’m so dead.”

The next four or so hours passed quickly with the realization. 

Mabel briefly considered faking amnesia or gouging one of her eyes out with a knitting needle. If they were so distracted by taking her to the hospital, they wouldn’t notice Dipper being gone, right? She dismissed that with the facts that at least one of them would notice, that hospital visits didn’t take that long (mostly), and the bus company or Grunkle Stan would get in trouble.

Maybe hypnosis? No, no, she loved her parents and Dipper too much to try that.

She ended up yanking out a piece of paper and her art supplies to make a card.

All too soon, however, her doom rolled up. The bus station appeared. At the very front, smiling like they were in a perfectly happy relationship, were her parents.

Mabel swallowed back the spike of hope- did the summer work? Were they back together?- and stepped off the bus.

“May May!” Her mother was there first, scooping her into a hug and pressing a kiss to her temple. She wore the soft rose perfume that Mabel loved, the scent tickling her nose and smelling rotten in the wake of the horror of the shitstorm Mabel was about to bring. “Oh, I missed you and Mason and-”

Waddles snorted.

“And the pig!” There was a pause. “Mabel, why do you have a pig?”

“More importantly-” her dad said, looking around. There it was. “Where’s Mason?”

“Uh…” Mabel pushed away from her mom to grab Waddles. It was both to show his cute face and to prevent the rise of nerves. Nope, she was Mabel. She was cool, classy, the best! “His name is Waddles. I got him by guessing his weight after he said my name.”

Her parents shared a look. “That’s great, sweetie,” her mom said as her dad knelt to pet Waddles. “But that doesn’t explain where your brother is.”

Right, okay. She made a card, it would explain everything-

“GrunkleStanhadaportalinthebasementandturnedouthehadasecrettwinbrotherwho wroteabunchofjournalsaboutGravityFallsandGrunkleFordaskedDippertostayandbehisapprentice-!”

She should have just stuck with the card.

Her parents stared. Her mom’s eyes were wide. Her dad took a deep breath, raising his hands to his lips. He breathed out slowly. Mabel waited, tense.

“He actually got the portal to work?”

…wait. Wait.

“You know about Grunkle Ford?”

Her dad groaned, turning away. “Let’s go,” he said, heading down the street. “School starts in two weeks, and we need to get you guys signed up.”

“Wait, we’re just- We’re just going?!” Mabel sputtered, her mind racing a mile a minute as she scrambled after him. The sky was lightening with sunrise- it would take all day to drive to Oregon and back.

“Mark, Mabel just got here! We need to get her to shower and pajamas, at least!” Her mom protested, noticeably not about leaving to drive ten hours back to Oregon. “She hasn’t eaten anything-”

Her dad pulled out his keys and their car beeped, looking almost futuristic compared to the beat-up Stanleymobile she had been riding all summer. “Look, we’ll pick up food at In-N-Out on our way there, and Mabel has pajamas in her bag.”

Her mom sighed, opening the passenger door. “Fine.” She didn’t even say anything about In-N-Out not being a healthy breakfast.

Mabel slid into the backseat. “You know about Grunkle Ford?” she said, her anxiety ebbing to be replaced by confusion. “How…why?”

“It’s a long story, but basically he’s an asshole-”

“LANGUAGE!”

“Who cut off contact with everyone until Stan took his identity and told us after Grandpa Filbrick died.” Her dad looked angrily determined, pressing his foot on the gas and sending the car screeching out of the parking lot. “I mean, I don’t blame him for waiting, Filbrick was not the best person-”

“Let’s not go down that road.”

“Oh, yeah, because not talking about things makes it better-”

Her mom turned. “Sweetheart,” she said, pulling out her phone and passing it over. “Get your headphones on and listen to some music, okay?”

…they should have just called.

Great Decisions

by @rydoesartandstuff

Excerpt from Chapter 17: That Icy Fear

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

John Dory could feel himself becoming more and more frantic, but he tried desperately to swallow it down. Branch was talking, he just had to keep him talking… “Ok uh, what’s my favorite kind of berry?”

Branch let out a quiet hum, as if he wanted to speak, but just couldn’t find the energy to move his lips. Panic shot through John Dory, trying not to let it show in his voice as he asked again. “C’mon Bitty, you know this one. It’s small and blue, just like you, remember?”

The young troll didn’t reply. His head dropped further into John Dory’s chest, his breaths scarily slow. This was a stark contrast from John Dory, whose breaths quickened to a point he was nearly hyperventilating, unable to hold back the panic that was now surging through him.

“No no no, please Branch, please.” He begged, a sob building in his throat as he tried desperately to warm his brother’s icy skin. “C’mon buddy, please, I can’t- You can’t…”

This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening… He was losing him. He messed up, and because of that, he was going to lose his little brother. It was all his fault. He was failing, failing, failing…

All at once, his brothers appeared around him, their faces matching expressions of pure panic as they stared down at the small troll in John Dory’s arms.

“John, do something!” Spruce commanded, voice shrill with desperation.

“You’re losing him!” Clay cried out, eyes wide with fear.

“Help him, please!” Floyd sobbed, tears streaming down his face. “Please, John Dory, help him!

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Fanart for the awesome new Trolls Fanfic I devoured over the course of three days! I highly recomend checking it out if you like John Dory and making him suffer, just a lil XD.

My Recommended Fic List

So, I got this ask awhile ago, and since I have been re-reading a bunch of my old favorite fics as a way to cheer up after work I figured why not. This list will be long... and varied but mostly its older fics cuz idk there my favs. Now lets go:

Fashion Upgrade - By @soap-lady : Straight up one of my favorite fics ever, its fun, its creative, it never fails to make me laugh when I need something warm and wholesome after a bad day. Also go check out the rest of her stuff there's so much good okay like shes just a writing queen. Shes on AO3 I don't want to spoil you on her other stuff just GO experience it for yourself.

Ode To Decoy pt 1 / 2 / 3 - By @a-marlene-s : Ive always liked this short sweet little fic about Lila getting caught. Its Lila + class salt though so avoid if that's not your flavor.

EVERYTHING - By @unmaskedagain : They have salt, they have sugar, they have funny, they have crossovers. Like honestly they are a just a great writer with so much variety so go check out the masterlist I linked and I guarantee there will be something there you like.

@ravennm84 Is a writer on the saltier side but they have a wonderful selection of weird wacky tales from the salty but oh so well written Damning Evidence that sees Lila get caught in the best way to the 3 part Horror inspired Serafina other great fics from them include Marinettes Family Court Circus pt 1 / 2 and Of Moldy Bread and Cockroaches / Be Kind to Servers honestly its worth giving there blog a look.

@mochinek0 Is another writer with several beloved fics. They write a lot of Maribat and we love them for it. Ones to check out would be Blind Date / Bruce vs Gabriel just go check out there tag list of daminette for more.

Accidental Crime Boss Marinette - By @lady-literature : This is a wonderful idea and a wonderful little fic and I just... I just like it okay. Sadly I haven't read a lot of there other stuff... But I might after finishing this list considering how much I enjoy this one.

@nobodyfamousposts I love a LOT of there fics. They are one of the best when it comes to striking that sweet spot of calling out the show for some of its garbage while not getting so salty that you cant have fun lighthearted goodness. I have been looking for a masterlist of there work but cant find one so just go stalk there tags. I do recommend there Chloe's Lament Series 1 / 2 exploring how certain 'wishes' would backfire. Guardian Assistant Kevin is also a good one Miracle Queen Aftermath pt 1 / 2 / The 8 parter Burn the Witch series / The Wisdom Teeth Reveal / Kagami Vs The Wall of Faces / Resigning With Grace & Spite / I tried to give a lot of links cuz they have a lot of stuff

Kill Them With Kindness - By @luki-fanfic : Well written, good salt without going overboard. Just good vibes. I havent stalked there other stuff but if its anything like this fic its probably excellent quality.

Stephen Vladislav pt 1 / 2 - By @stormiclown : Adrien centered salt on the idea of finally giving Adrien his own proper rival. I like the idea of Adrien having a rival because its usually Marinette and this was just the right length to get those creative ideas flowing. Also just well written what more can you ask for.

Power Trip - By @storygirl000 : This was the first fic that made me go... Wait would it be more fun if Lila was actually competent? And that set me on the path to writing my own fics where Lila is more villainous and more capable. Its short, well written. Good.

Your Wish is My Command - By DemiGoddess28 on AO3 : A great 11 chapter fic looking into Lila's life if she were to win and get a miraculous wish. Its got sugary goodness for our protagonists and the class and salt for our dearest friend Lila.

LadyBugOut AU - By Miraculous-Content on AO3 : A 50 chapter fic made up of snippets and ideas. I found it really inspiring in many ways. I also love how it redeems Marinettes classmates showing how and why they were tricked but holding them accountable anyway its just... Good.

Juleka vs The Forces of the Universe - By goldenlaurelleaves on AO3 : For those of us not yet ready to accept the death of luka/mari we have this wonderful fic showing Juleka being the biggest wingman as she helps these idiots find there way together.

ChaoticNeutral on AO3 has there own Chloe's Lament fic as well as a Gabriel's Lament fic for people who need sweet salty of those two characters.

BroadwayCutie16 was Inspired by the person above and DemiGoddesses your wish is my command fic to write Lila's Lament fic going over Lilas failed wish. Honestly I always love these fics because there just so interesting and the way wishes can be taken and twisted is always a fascinating idea to me.

#WayneAngel - By Tired-Writing-Teach on AO3 : For us Maribat lovers. Its fun and lighthearted with some good gags and some light fluff.

Damian in Paris - By Lilliesandliveries on AO3 : A sweet Maribat series showing what would happen if Damian ran away from home and found himself in Paris and getting therapy.

How a Demon Commissions an Angel - By AlixAnonymous : Damian blackmails Marinette into letting him be her client so he can get his bros the best gifts, they end up becoming penpal buddies.

Mythomania - By LadyEnna_50 on AO3 : Proof that I dont hate Adrien or Mari/Adrien. In this fic Adrien's spine gets titanium plating and he sees just how bad Lila is hurting Marinette and does something about it.

The Contingency - By AbyssalGuardian on AO3 : SALT. Also Tim/Mari but even still I love the way this was written, the style, and some of the ideas just ugh love it. Its not for those who dont like salt so just avoid at your own discretion. Its about a chaotic Marinette done with her life running away to Gotham where she meets her true black cat, and gets her life back on track.

The String That Binds Us - By FaithAndATypeWriter on AO3 : Okay so is there any Mari/Bat fan who hasnt already heard of this one? Who cares its good, its cute, I love it. May the author be blessed with snacks.

The Great IKEA Game - By @batsandbugs : Okay again... I think every Mari/Bat fan has probably heard of this one already because its just that good and that popular. But who cares I am recommending it anyway. Don't read if your allergic to fun I guess.

If this list still doesn't somehow have enough salt for you then try @goggles-mcgee fics here is a link to there Masterlist. They are in a way a professional at salt and angst and they make you want to adopt Marinette and pop her in a blanket fort.

Honestly I could keep going but this list already feels so long for other great recs though I can link you to @jayphoenic who has some great Daminette Fic Recs and some Lila Salt Fic Recs!

Feel free to reblog this and add some links to stuff you would think I or others might like! Also lets just acknowledge how many talented authors the community has like wow.

Family Discount

After years of not seeing each other, they have to make up for lost time in annoying the crap out of one another- as it is their legal right as siblings.

[jube-art]

The sight of Edwin resting left him speechless, even with all the blood and wounds. His face was relaxed, all the lines and creases from the last thirty years nowhere to be found. His eyes were closed, with his long eyelashes becoming dark smudges on his high cheekbones. His elegant hands rested on his rising stomach, and the way his shirt was torn open allowed Charles to see how firm but soft his stomach was, dotted with a few freckles and fine dark hair. His bottom lip was cut, but Charles could not help in imagining how soft and swollen they would become if kissed just right.

God, he needed help.

Doodle based of this fic.

You should read it. It's Blocktales x Phighting.

This one was made on my phone

Edit: the link doesn't seem to be working. It's called "Oh come on, ANOTHER world? (Phighting/block tales isekai)" by Treefrogger.

“Really?” he asks. He means to say it flatly, but it just comes out hoarse. “You wanna do this?” 

Outing their relationship so soon hadn’t been the plan, after all. Izuku glances away shyly before making eye contact again. He shrugs one shoulder.

“You heard ‘em,” he says, a glint of challenge in his gaze. “Kiss me.” 

God, Katsuki loves him. It’s too big for his chest, too big for his body even. He shuffles in closer,  touching Izuku’s face with careful fingers. Izuku’s breath hitches at the contact. He’s so responsive, tense and anticipatory like this really is their first time. Katsuki thumbs along his cheekbone before trailing down to dip under his chin, tilting his face up. Izuku’s lips part, a soft breath hushing out his mouth.  Izuku’s eyes flutter shut. Katsuki drinks it all in, savoring the sight of Izuku, waiting for him, wanting him.

Katsuki leans in and kisses him softly. 

Their friends screech like fucking banshees. They jump up and down wildly and wail like it’s the end of the world. Mina bursts into tears. Sero shoots off tape-streamers in celebration. Momo and Jirou exchange a quick kiss of their own and giggle. Hands are thrown in the air, thanks are given, god is praised. Eri squeals as Iida picks her up, setting her on his hip as she claps merrily, tears shining in her wide eyes. Uraraka’s commotion has attracted the attention of just about everyone at the carnival, so they all burst into applause too. Somewhere in the distance, All Might dabs away a tear. Their mothers coo before embracing one another.

Uraraka whips over to the left, shouting into the megaphone. “ Kiri, now! ” 

Katsuki doesn’t hear any of it. Not the cheering, not the megaphone, not the music kicking into gear as Jirou cranks it up. Nothing. There’s only Izuku. The gentle press of his mouth as he kisses Katsuki back, his soft breath rushing over his skin, the tiny smacking sounds as their lips move, the helpless noise at the back of Izuku’s throat. Katsuki feels a hand fist in the front of his shirt as he kisses Izuku again and again. He loves me.
