For the writer ask, 14.

MWAH

14. What’s something you wrote in a fic that you are hoping that readers picked up on but you don’t know if they did? And/or, what is something that you were excited that readers did pick up on?

oH I love this question SO MUCH. I have loads, I think, but I’ll only do two for this one. second one includes spoilers for later chapters of a question of time, so… beware

first, subtle thing in last call. super early we have this line:

You give Ben a lopsided smile when you approach, recognising him every bit as much as Hank, and greet him as is your custom—with mild insult and his surname, despite his continued protestations that you just call me Ben. He knows you won’t listen, the same way you don’t listen to Hank, either, but the enduring effort shows his appreciation for your effort, for putting up with the squad, in a light and humorous way that allows you to accept it.

I wanted something to show distance between characters, to build a defensive wall, but bc I love character growth, I also love smashin em down:

“Running off a bit early, aren’t you?”

“Don’t panic, Hank.” You grab the small notepad and pen stashed under the bar and tuck it into the pocket of your jeans. “Jo’s still around, they’ll look after you. Bell will go soon anyway.”

and:

There’s something underneath the calm. You only spot it when he blinks, like his mask slips; you get the overwhelming impression there’s something he wants to say but can’t. Like the words elude him.

“You really shouldn’t be back here,” you say, lapsing into mildly irritated pragmatism as a defence before purposefully taking a breath and gentling your tone. “How will Hank cope without you?”

The tension doesn’t leave his shoulders or his fidgeting fingers but the slightest of smiles pulls at the corners of his mouth, first at Hank’s name, then your joke.

the subtle shift in language is something I just love. the change in the way characters interact with each other is just irresistible. I don’t know how noticeable this was, because it’s really not the focus of the fic, but I loved making Connor notice too, and having him recognise it for the growth it demonstrates.

the second one I won’t quote (spoilers ahead, remember) but the shift in the landscape at the end of chapter six of a question of time where Sixty learns he’s in a simulation is one that multiple people caught on to before I published it, and I was SO pleased that people got suspicious before I confirmed it. made me feel so much like I’d managed to pull off the foreshadowing I wanted. so so satisfying as an author.

I apologize, I’d been meaning to finish this in time for mermay, but alas.

I've been waiting to get to this update for so long - it was probably the first scene I conceptualized (or, more accurately, woke up with the image still burned into my brain). As you've probably noticed, I've been heavily inspired by movies such as The Shape of Water and The Little Mermaid. This comic is a love letter to these movies and to the art and fics that have inspired me.

happy (belated) mermay!!!

Also, I can finally answer this ask 😂 Merpeople do indeed have regenerative properties, and mixing mer and human blood in live subjects is one thing Kamski has never had the opportunity to try. That and the power of love, of course.

It’s time! Detroit: Become Human Big Bang 2023 (@dbh-bb2023) is here. I had the good fortune of getting paired with writer @nothinggathers. Ghosts in the Machines is a Hankcon Reverse AU. It’s a fantastic read, I highly recommend it! The first three chapters are live with more chapters to be posted daily (so if you prefer to binge read, you won’t have to wait long).

Also be sure to check out artist @vladlen4i who also made art for the fic!

[samishin]

I adore your artwork. You always draw the characters beautifully, and your colouring is so pretty.

For the palette challenge could I request Hankcon in Starlit Path?

(o´ω`o)ﾉ@nothinggathers💙

Thank you! Sorry it took so long, I liked the palette and I got carried away.🫠

Palette challenge

[dbh-bb]

Calling all Detroit: Become Human writers!

Did you sign up for the Reverse Big Bang this year? Did you want to but just found it that little too late? Maybe you were nervous about joining a fandom event and thought you'd join next year instead?

Maybe you did join up but things have gone more smoothly than you thought!

Whatever the circumstances, we need backups to step in and step up. Life has hit some of our participants extra hard this year, and we want to pull together and ease the pressure on them while still delivering for our amazing artists.

We need you!

Yes, you!

If you think you could help we would love to hear from you! You do not need to have signed up before this.

You can contact mod Atro at @nothinggathers on tumblr, or atropaazraelle on discord.

Six Sentence Swednesday Saturday

Thank you, Master @sunwarmed-ash

Connor moans, rolling his eyes until the white inside is visible. Greedy for more, he jerks his pelvis and hips. His freshly pricked ear throbs in unison with the bittersweet desire raging between his bare legs. "Shit, boy," Hank swears reverently. "You really need this, huh? So fucking needy." His breath brushes flaming hot over the sensitive tip of Connor's cock. His erection throbs, already painfully hard. Willingly, Connor opens his trembling thighs a little more.
