Tickles with fluffy fox fur mittens? ❤️

One of my tickle timeloops is this time during a power outage in winter, where me and some friends were hanging out as school was also cancelled. And randomly, when I stretched and grasped the doorway (kind of discovering how my tallness meant it was easy to tease with my belly), a girl wearing fuzzy gloves was immediately there to grasp my sides and rub with her thumbs and oooh mmmyyy gooooossshhh the combination of my chilled perked up skin, that sparkle zone to begin, and the flufffyyyyy material was sooo baddddd I'm squirming just thinking about ittt againnnn ~

[mister-eames]

Regarding the time loop post; idk it gives me vibes of arthur leaving eames a voice message when he left with cobb. the “do not save me part” playing over and over again when all eames is trying to do is forget about Arthur and his reasons for choosing a friend over him. cause the days without Arthur is bleeding and blending together to become one terrible time loop :D

Ohhh I like that. I think the brooding fits Eames so well, I think he is the type to get stuck in a timeloop/groundhog day of his own making; and I think in that way that makes him more like Cobb than he'd like to admit--he's unable to stop ruminating over someone he's lost to the point of his own detriment--and I think that makes him hate Cobb just a little more.

Eames hates all of it. Why should Eames have to lose someone too? Why should Arthur----- and then he's thinking about Arthur, again. It wouldn't hurt to hear his voice again. He needs it. Eames doesn't know what he'd say if he'd call, if he'd spill out everything like a bursting dam, or if the weight of his emotions would choke him into silence. So he pulls up that voicemail again.

"Eames. It's me. Listen...."

Doodles that i forgot lying around-

WARNING: BLOOD-

Of course a few things in this arent canon, im just playing- drawing around. Like the one above about the bandages with bløød, just that.

And just some development in adam/Reboot's super suit design

-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-

-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-

And adam's (past) emotion chart, the canon even before the TimeLoop-shit.. so yeah

Im still working on his [present] emotion chart

Fun fact, after adam dropped into this alternative(B:WFA) Timeline, adam didnt have any other cloths on him obviously and only had his suit(lucky for him he had installed this small part of his suit where it tightens or widens a bit to whoever its wearer is size, since adam only planned on changing the armory on his suit and not the clothing part.. so yeah, but his binder no longer fits him so.. yup)

And tim being the first one to find him( adam's vigilante name being "Reboot/Cookies" kind of says he's like a virus with technology, but in a good way.) And handed adam an old T-shirt and short shorts.

(Alfred doesnt really like adam's messy long hair..)

-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-

Funfact, adam wanted to go to school with damian cause he didnt wanted to be stuck in the Manor all day. Even if he wanted to just cook atound with alfred- that just end up with many sweets and foods that would lead to a waste..(or not, Alfred's busy in his own schedules around the house himself) so adam was registered under the name "Aiden Wayne"

And two things, sure adam has his own surename from his parents,but tis is an alternative timelime and he didnt wanted attract attention at some point with his family there..

Plus, adam didnt wanted to have the Wayne surename, but did he have a choice? No. Of course not. Notlike he can steal any random surname.. well, he never thought of any surname.

Ohhh- and the point of this is that Dick is just driving adam and Damian, and apparently- the seatbelt to the car isnt enough to stop adam from getting face-to-face with his laptop and the carseta infront of him and bonk his head hard.

Adam protested when they decided to buy a Car seat for him, but they did it anyways. And cause of this, adam never felt so safe(somehow he feels this and is very confused why.)

-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-~°-

Literally DRESSING up for the "secret"(only alfred and jason know) tea party with Steph and Cass, cause the tea set steph bribed adam with needed to be used.

Adam was furious steph made him wear a dress(but in the end, he couldnt stop twirling infront of the mirror???)

And the glitter.. so SO MUCH GLITTER-

[fictionkinfessions]

(Apologies if there's too much bold and italics in this one mpc, I did my best to keep it to a minimum but no hard feelings if you have to post it as plain text instead)

My Stardust and I got to talking about the dieties of our world due to. Mem related reasons. And it showed me the "meeting the change god" event because it thought it'd be related to what I was saying.

Ohhh And Oh it was so right it oh so very much was related to what I was saying. I have never EVER in my many years of kinning been this down right repulsed by a piece of my media.

FUCK. YOU. CHANGE GOD. OH MY GOOOOD FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUUUUCK YOU.

OF BLINDING COURSE I'M TALKING TO MY STARDUST ABOUT HOW YOU AND THE UNIVERSE COULD HAVE FREED US AT ANY BLINDING TIME. BUT YOU KEPT US THERE FOR YOUR SICK ENTERTAINMENT. YOU FUCKERS KEPT ME ALIVE FOR YOUR SICK BLINDING ENTER-FUCKING-TAINMENT. AND IT SENDS ME A VIDEO SHOWING WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT HOW BLINDING RIGHT I AM AND HOW SICK YOU ARE.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU TAKE MY FACE LIKE THAT. TALK TO MY STARDUST LIKE THAT. HOWWW GEGGRGRGRGRGRRR AND CALLING ME A FUCKING SPONSOR?!?! OHHH YEAH YEAH BECAUSE I FUCKING WANTED TO BE THERE. SURE I DEFINITELY BLINDING DID. TELL THAT TO THE ME SOBBING AND CRYING AND BEGGING TO BLINDING DIE AFTER CENTURIES OF TORMENT FOR YOUR AMMUSEMENT IN AN UNWINNABLE TIMELOOP.

FUCKING SPONSOR. DID I "SPONSOR" YOU AND THE UNIVERSE MAKING A WHOLE NEW TIMELINE WITH A NEW SIFFRIN TO KEEP YOUR SICK SHOW GOING?? HATING THAT DORMONT IS FROZEN MY FUCKING ASS. LOVING YOUR PEOPLE MY BLINDING ASS!!!! YOU'RE A SICK SICK SICK GOD AND I'M SURE THE UNIVERSE IS EVEN FUCKING WORSE THAN YOU. BUT AT LEAST IT HAS THE DECENCY TO NOT TALK TO SIFFRIN WITH MY BLINDING FACE IN THE BLINDING OVERRIDE STATE YOU TWO FUCKING IMPRINTED INTO MY NEW BODY. IT'S LIKE YOUR BLINDING RUBBING IT IN. DO YOU ENJOY HOW MUCH FUCKING PAIN THAT PUT ME THROUGH? DID SIFFRIN AND I PUT ON A GOOD ENOUGH SHOW FOR YOU? ARE YOU HAPPY SEEING US SUFFER LIKE THIS? HIDING WHO YOU REALLY ARE FROM YOUR PEOPLE SO THEY KEEP WORSHIPING YOU LIKE THEY NEED YOU TO SURVIVE.

STARS. FUCKING. SCREAMS.

I HAVE NEVER NEVER WANTED TO MAIM SOMEONE FROM A CANON MORE THAN I WANT TO HURT YOU RIGHT NOW. HOW DARE YOU ACT ALL FUCKING CUTESY ABOUT THE SHIT YOU'RE DOING TO SIFFRIN AND I. HOW DARE YOU COO SWEET WORDS AT MIRABELLE ONLY TO SHOW SIFFRIN YOUR TRUE COLOURS ONCE SHE'S GONE. MAYBE IF YOU REALLY LOVED MIRABELLE AND THE OTHERS OF YOUR COUNTRY, YOU WOULD HAVE. OH I DUNNO. STOPPED THE BLINDING TIMELOOP. YOU AWFUL AWUFUL SICK FUCKING GOD HOW DARE YOU LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH ABOUT LOVING YOUR PEOPLE. ABOUT HATING THIS TIMELOOP BECAUSE NOBODY CHANGES. YOU'RE SO GIDDY FROM SEEING STARDUST SUFFER YOU CAN BARELY FUCKING CONTAIN IT.

You are the most pathetic excuse for a "loving god" I have ever blinding seen. You should be ashamed of yourself. But I know you arent. I know you never could be.

Stars I wish I could punch your teeth in.

~An extremely angry Loop 🕯♟

(p.s. since I know a kinfirming Change God was posted earlier today as I'm submiting this; I just want to add that this isnt toward them. It's ofc at my own timeline and base canon.)

HIIII SORRY I WROTE THIS ASK KIND OF LATE, GRADES WERE DUE YESTERDAY ANYWAYS

Since you love uly. . .and I love uly. . .

I'm hyperfixated on the odyssey. . . and you also really love the odyssey. . .

STAY WITH ME NOW. are you following? good

MORE ULYSSES CONTENT PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS IT'S SO SILLY I LOVE HIM SMMMM

IF IT WERE JUST LIKE, THROWING UP ULY CONTENT THAT WOULD MAKE ME SOOO HAPPY GUYS AHFFKSJRJTERKJTTK

Ulysses has so much about him and it's all so interesting to me, brainrotting in the best way /POS

So like, anything you feel comfortable sharing SHARE IT. IDC IF ITS A WHOLE ASS ESSAY I WILL READ IT AND I WILL LOVE IT

-Ulysses loving anon

i understand what you're putting down....

WELCOME TO ULYSSES GOES THROUGH AN ODYSSEY OF SUFFERING FOREVER AND EVER

FIRST OFF. I'VE CHANGED HIS MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING A CORPHEAD.

while ulysses was on kalypto's island, dante told ulysses it could be a corphead and gave him a week to decide (she had a fascination with the guy who completely obliterated the founding from old records vergil kept (we'll get back to that)). and uly wasn't really considering, and dante was free loading off of kalypto (who is NOT happy about this but actively cannot due to societal expectations) but like 2 days in dante immediately told him penelope specifically asked him to become a corphead to pull strings and help telemachus become a recruiter so he wouldn't die. so uly immediately accepted just so telemachus could get prosthetics and survive.

then as he had to sneak out at dawn with dante to he could actually Leave kalypto. kalypto was not happy in the slightest this happened. (and hijinks happen smth smth uly tries to kill himself but escapes the hospital and takes revenge against the suitors for killing his son)

I'M CHUCKING HIM INTO A GOD FORSAKEN TIMELOOP. (it's only one loop but you get the gist) this is just a vague idea but

he made a contract w/ a vagabond (tiresias) to allow him to go back in time once

when he goes to tiresias the first time, he convinces her to make a contract with him to let him save his men.

so she takes him back to the cyclops and does manage to save most of them! (1st timeline: he told his name truthfully, 2nd he said his name was nobody)

however in this second timeloop, in a effort to save time/speedrun, he sends a group of scouts, and essentially sent them to their deaths to circe. circe makes him eat polites. (differs from 1st timeline but i need to figure out why/how)

OH. AND HE HAS A CURSE CONTRACT WITH POLYPHEMUS. essentially polyphemus cursed him with a contract that makes the sea reject his body and he can't swim anymore. if he touches/is near seawater, the sea will try to drown him. so when he timelooped he thought that contract was nullified when in fact. it was not!

also look at uly's nightmare horse he came up with and then aishire made the engineering for. isn't it awesome.

after diomedes and ulysses stole the palladium (source of all the founding's powers) ulysses was like ohhh i'm sorry i stole your statue that gives you all your power, here have a SMALL REPLACEMENT statue while we come up with more gifts to give to you (its first just the diamond shape thing) and then causes every single person in ilium to turn into vagabonds and tear each other to shreds (after studying how the sirens' songs made him insane too)

superman: lost finale

tldr: huge L for people who want to see clark reintegrate into his life with people who love and accept him even when he doesn't feel he's 'being' correctly due to his enormous amounts of horrible trauma (me). but also huge W for people who want to look at clark ultimately addressing his trauma by doing something so batshit insane he would never ever inflict on another person but his self standards are so toxic babygirl you are SO fucked up (also me)

short plot recap: at the end of this issue, clark and hope go back in spacetime to the beginning of where he was dumped out of the space trawler's ship, and send past!clark back to earth. then the clark we've been following goes on to help the evacuation for ten years, and then become the time loop clark we saw in issue 7, warning his past self not to try to escape, while the past!clark he and hope sent back goes on to live with lois and be the in-continuity clark we're familiar with.

various disorganized notes upon this:

clois book and clois divorce book at the same time

the book is metacommentary on how editorial will never allow clark to actually have lasting effects from trauma because that's not marketable/palatable to people both inside the dcu and outside

nerds bein like 'ohhh that's not how time travel works' news flash: time travel is not real its a storytelling device. if it serves the author then it's how it works

i. loved lois in this. all throughout. i know some people think she's ooc but she's so angry and compassionate and her concern and drive is what intersects with clark's self sacrificial brain in the end to make his FUCKED UP choice it is just. tickles the brain in a capital T Tragedy way. fatal strengths/fatal flaws chefs kiss

immediately headcanoning Gatekeeper/timeloop clark to eventually become the superman-null of Strange Visitor even though i think he was visually based on Maggin's Ghost of Superman Future from Superman 416 (which, if you like time loops, you should read, and if you dont like time loops you should read anyway because it fucks). let me have this. or, i know that Gatekeeper says he's had this conversation over and over, but i would would also accept if he figures out how to break it eventually and then becomes an iterant space paladin

the hope-is-pregnant jumpscare was. fine whatever 😔 a concession to serialized storytelling demanding cliffhangers. shoutout to parthenogenesis was nice but That Aint How It Works......like That's The Point Of Asexual Reproduction You Don't Need Another Person's DNA.......

this issue was fun to read alongside the current arc of WF since mark waid is also pointing out clark's flaw of impossibly impossibly high standards for himself in the way that main universe clark is so furious and disgusted with kingdom come clark; main universe bruce has never seen him that angry before bc clark's hatred/fury/fear of his own failures is obviously usually internalized

lex's part in this book was so damn good. that egotistical genius delusional psychosexually obsessed loony. especially the bit about the paintings. stop imagining yourself in a naked wrestling match with your enemy. time to listen to les troyens i guess

throughout the whole book the art has just been. incredible. coloring lines inking the whole thing. the stylistic change in 7 was interesting, not my favorite art, but it worked bc they were in a black hole at the time. i got some of the lee weeks variant covers and they're so incredibly good.... but the mainline covers were also wonderful.

slaps roof of superman. this fellow sure can get lost

anyway. if you made it to the end low effort mspaint sillies

[limblesstar]

hiiiii talk to me about your AUs!!

ohhh i have so many for so many different fandoms (i have a very overactive imagination and LOVE putting guys into the torture nexus, i actually have a whole universe for doing that with fates and timeloops) but i can tell you a little about the two occupying my brain right now

cast away his wrath au (which has a whole webweave and stuff, also exists in the universe as odysseus the line cook,) where basically achilles and patroclus are very much so bitter exes who haven't seen each other in just short of a decade and are really going through the horrors of reconnecting after so long and so much hurt while simultaneously being so so in love with each other but not being able to do anything about it because achilles is the stupidest pettiest man alive and patroclus would sooner die than say he loves him outloud. (also patroclus is a very handsome doctor and achilles is a two time olympian, its alot,)

i feel like pepe silvia from iasip when i talk about this au because theres just. so much going on all the time. its so MESSY. they all need therapy so badly. the only upside to this au is thetis gets to be the world best grandma and achilles gets yelled at by her for being jealous of his own son.

then theres my Vampire the Masquerade AU that ive actually been writing for where it just, embodies tragedy. you'd think of vampires, achilles right? WRONG. Patroclus is the vampire here and he really fucking hates it, like all he wants to do is go home to his beautiful wife but instead he has to deal with people far too old to still be acting like this, his coterie of the most annoying people hes ever met, camarilla AND anarch politics, the entirety of athens falling apart because theres a constant kindred power struggle, boons, favours, petty squabbles. He hates all of it and wants nothing to do with all the monsters vying for power.

He's Clan Gangrel (still on the fence about it but i think he deserves little a puppy in the form of a giant wolf) He finds immense irony in the fact that he has to spend most of his days pretending to give a shit about vampire politics in elysium (lol)

the whole premise of the au is that Patroclus, after a decade of unlife decides thats maybe he deserves to be a little selfish and for once put himself first which in turn, put his touchstone in danger. he isnt USUALLY this careless, but after a decade of being apart and watching achilles wallow in grief he had to see him again. its not going to end well.

[memoryoflooping]

i'm still reeling from everything but ya here's tha notes

[skyllion-uwu]

We gotta find who made that review and then blow them up cartoon style

ISAT has SO many reviews complaining about the repetition like including professional ones and it's so funny to me like, it's a timeloop?? It's about repeating?? At least you can keep the equipment you get because almost all timeloops do not let you keep items when it resets! In fact the only other story I can think of with keeping items across loops is the book 11 Birthdays where the MC eventually figures out if she keeps something on her body that it will stay with her the next loop. But anywho the frustration legit adds to the story. I went in going "I am not gonna skip dialogue" only to find myself getting annoyed with how long it'd take and I've read this already maybe I should just skip it... Why even interact with that object I already know what they're gonna say... Ohhh this is what Siffrin feels like

Also the skipping only works on non important conversations. That reviewer was hitting the important ones lol

[wellntruly]

M*A*S*H Season 2….it’s top tier for me.

I couldn’t leave well enough alone, strayed off my list, and now come back to you with a new & improved Season 2 Viewguide: Deluxe Edition. I took away two, added four. One was a swap with the bonus eps—it’s going main! Then I added mmm another two more to the bonus list. LISTEN...

Probably it will all start to make sense if you see how long my notes are.

M*A*S*H Season 2 Notes At Last This Time We Took Them!

2x01 ‘Divided We Stand’

“Together, Pierce and McIntyre make a remarkable pair--” and it’s a reveal on them fully losing at strip poker

Radar just steering Klinger away muttering “You’ll get your dress dirty,” my moonbirds <3

A bit that never fails on me is someone being like oh none for me thanks, and then the remark that both glasses are for the other person. I think the earliest I’ve seen this is a Nick & Nora Charles movie in the ‘30s, maybe After The Thin Man? And it definitely happens on M*A*S*H multiple times, here and then I’m sure Margaret does it to Hawkeye in the Officer’s Club in a later season. EVERY TIME, I’m chuckling.

I have been in a state that I believe Hawkeye is in in this moment, where you’ve just been very tired for a long time and something in your emotional cortex is kinda dulled so you’re just sitting there watching someone, not warning them that something startling is about to happen to them, and then it does, and you laugh like the numbed gremlin you’ve become. For me it was tech rehearsal, for them it’s you know, a field hospital in a war. Anyway this is all why 1000% do I believe that this has happened to Hawkeye before, trying to wake Trapper and Trapper practically bruising his arm as he jolts awake with a shout.

I’ve decided to explain the fact that Alda bundles into a cap and scarf at the slightest provocation and Rogers does not with the Watsonian supposition that Trapper runs warm. Test it out, feels true right, feels good.

“I mean as screwy as this outfit is, better the devil you know, right?” and then this little wiggle shrug thing?? McLean???! I’m weeping, why is this whole showers scene hilarious. They keep catching the tail end of Wayne Rogers laughing when they cut to a different shot—that'd be me.

This half stammered exclamation “What the h-ell!?” as Radar runs up on him in the dark, god why is McLean Stevenson SO funny in this episode

“look normal”

They’re all WET in Henry's office right now, the shoulders of their jackets. Had it rained outside? Was there a cut outdoor scene?

“Frank showed up here cracked, with a Bible in one hand and a pair of shorts that said ‘Hold me’ in the other.” Wow orig booty shorts joke courtesy of B.F. Pierce

ACTUALLY. Another notch in the Timeloop Theory is Hawkeye constantly claiming Radar is his son with some member of the outfit (typically Trapper, here Margaret), and people like Henry hurriedly clarifying “He is not!”—yeah, Henry, how long do you think you’ve all been here

/

2x02 ‘5 O’Clock Charlie’

Have we addressed that Hawkeye’s name for Trapper when they’re being Brit-ish is ‘Reggie’? He says it twice.

Alda uses the same drawl of eagerness for “Oh do, Frank [give us a direct order]” that he does when Margaret threatens to kick him and he goes “Would you? With high heels?” Just for everyone's notes.

Hawk & Trap just sure know how to have fun, y’know! We all should have these kinds of relationships!

I like when Trapper goes all smart and take-charge. Very sexy of him.

TRULY this infantry drag routine added a year to my life when I first encountered it. Alan Alda is just so good at this. His extremely pantomime/vaudeville faces to Radar as they fail at all the commands, how very camp it all is, Trapper in MacArthur cosplay with his belt buckled over his untucked shirt and yet still hot, Frank…. an Iconic Scene.

Whomst is this random other guy just noodling on a guitar while Trapper and Hawkeye drink and muse on their problems

Ohhh okay he’s the current dentist. Hey, remember when there were dentists? That totally stops at the transition, huh!

I had definitely missed that they’ve got olives in their shower martini IV bottle. Also: what doesn’t this episode have.

Lololol Odessa Cleveland just hitting this “I’m ready to do the 4:30 feeding.” She really should have stayed around Kellye-style.

That every time Frank goes to pull out his gun it’s some new classic comedy prop they’ve swapped in is wonderful

Hawkeye & Trapper bundling Frank off to get a meal with them, “Why can’t I stay mad at you two lugs?” “We’ll work something out.” God…? <3

/

2x04 ‘For the Good of the Outfit’

Hmm maybe this episode fucks totally? I looooove them going off to take down the US Army, it's a crash to earth in the best way after 'Charlie'

“These fragments are as American as apple pie and Napalm.” Yell! Hell yeah, Trap.

“Radar, if you want me, I won’t be anywhere.” Lol Henry

Filing reports against the Army together, jumping off Lovers Leap together…

Radar translating to their nicknames to Henry under his breath WHAT is happening, I’m hootling

Love Hawkeye with his feet up on a desk, tired eyes and a phone to his ear, Trapper leaning with his collar up behind him, trying to make the American military take responsibility, for once

Writing to his dad in post-op while diegetic jazz plays! Atmosphere~

Whoa I do not remember a lot of this! Stopping Hawkeye’s mail out! Marking his movement “restricted”! This is getting really serious and scary!

Now he’s got his feet up yet his ankles crossed. Incredible advances in gay sitting.

Henry coming off entirely spineless this episode, c’monnn Blake

WOW General Clayton a) threatened to follow them forever, b) or threatened instead to just send them to an aid station to die on the line (implied)!!!!!!!!

“Go, Frank, go.” Trap I love you I love this. The 11th hour inadvertent save by Mssrs. Burns & Houlihan! Good ep good ep

“Take her, he’s mine :)” Hawkeye MY GOD.

/

2x05 ‘Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde’

What I like about my new S2 lineup is this run from

“They’re mad, quite mad all of them!” to

hahah ohh yeah no they are all mad, bless ‘em

to suddenly oh JESUS, but also spilling backwards to the two you’ve just watched because like, what else do you DO, you just pull out lawn chairs and a Trans-Atlantic accent and bet about whether Charlie will hit the ammunition dump, or you try to get the whole Army arraigned, it's basically toss a coin each day, heads I win tails you lose

then from there on to the secret third option we haven’t done yet: Maybe Hawkeye Goes Mad For Real

So here we gooooo! (This one is one of my favorite-favorites)

Trapper steering Hawkeye out of surgery is something that can be so—

Running tally: “20 hours of surgery,” “some day and before that it was some night”

Obsessed with all the mud business. The jeep coming by and spraying their legs, the guy tripping and falling in it as he runs. None of this is relevant to the plot or even commented on, it’s just texture.

“Morpheus, don’t just stand there, I’m yours.”

Trapper Watching Hawkeye In This Episode !

Hits on Henry, and that’s a sign. To Henry. I think. I think about a lot of things. Some of it is Henry picking up Hawkeye behaviors that worry him, for what else they are usually masking.

Running tally: Frank has been asleep three times while Hawkeye has gone on operating. Now that one I don’t know quite how to tabulate.

There is something oddly endearing about Hawkeye still trying to hit on the nurses when he’s nearly too tired to even lift his arms from where Radar is pushing him by in a wheelchair. I think it’s that there is so obviously no real intent behind it, no actual design to follow through with these offers. Just saying words recreationally, as the post goes.

Radar: “Now let me get you to bed here, make sure you’re comfortable.” Hawkeye: “That’s what they all say.” Hawk….you are so worrisome this episode though really!

Running tally: It’s now morning, so it’s been another night since our opening scene. He has definitely been awake for two nights, two days, 48 hours minimum.

Okay and now it’s night, so another 12 hours: 60

“You are turning into a 170 pound fruitcake.” Trapper…couple questions

Could Radar really not know the word Holocaust OR a popular Bing Crosby carol? This always distracts me for a moment.

Hawkeye haltingly singing ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ into the quiet while crying, the dark night of the camp stretched around them, is something that can fuck me up <3

‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ was released in 1943, previous episode it was stated to be 1951, so 8 years ago. Hawkeye is presumably supposed to be in his early 30s (slightly younger than Alda himself), so we’re talking like early-/mid-20s he was lying on a rug listening to this song. And now he’s out of the med school that kept him from being drafted into WWII, and swept into another war after all.

“Dear Harry. Who’s responsible?” It's like my heart holds.

Running tally: It’s the next day. 72 hours.

HIS. HAUNTED. EYES. LOOKING UP AT THE SOUND OF CHOPPERS.

Coming back to some of M*A*S*H again no longer on a good amount of hydromorphone (hi) is, far from a more sober experience, actually at times creating a sensation not unlike my mind is shattering like a bag of frozen peas smacked against the counter

GOD Alda! Eyes!

“I like that,” he says with a little smile, draping a couple pieces of toilet paper on the latrine. “It sells.” My fucking heart.

Physical acting award to GARY BURGHOFF, panicking in place next to Trapper for a solid few seconds before running off after them

Trapper and Henry playing solitaire together while watching over Hawkeye sleeping fitfully under presumably their fave phenobarbital kills me so softly. Whole vibe something so warm and domestic and bleak and fucked up, and the lines all So much. “McIntyre, what makes him do these things?”

/

2x09 ‘Dear Dad…Three’

Hawkeye just watching Trapper & Frank play gin, grinning. The way sometimes they’re roommates like this..

“Go ahead, Cuddles, take a card.” CUDDLES, TRAPPER?

Hawkeye reciting ‘Gunga Din’ ostensibly to praise Ginger’s nursing prowess is so 1973

Not to be such a laugh track supporter, again, but this is another episode I actually think plays better WITH it, as the contrast from the goofy cards scene with the communal laughs to the strained quiet as they try to remove this grenade from a soldier’s body is just so compelling to me.

Leaving in Alan Alda casually fighting through a yawn is so so so so so good. This show is so lived in, makes it feel oddly real for all its artificial 25-minute sitcom trappings.

Henry’s video from home scene reeeaally got to me, on the hydromorphone. The way they just gradually get more rapt and quiet even as nothing is really happening in the video, it’s just normal, and that’s what’s getting to them.

Man the Indiana suburbs are wild

“I could see that all over again.” This is kinda why I love Trapper, honestly. Part of it.

Ginger acting like he’s passing is just THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS, I laugh every time. “Good job, baby!” GINGER!

The staff meeting is simply perfect. A perfect scene of television comedy. No notes, just want to show it to everyone I know.

I mean it’s just so funny when the racist soldier literally says "You've given me a lot to think about," and still just real nice when he salutes Ginger, whatever! Sure it’s cheesy! We all know! But it’s 1970/1950! They were trying to do something!

/

2x10 ‘The Sniper’

Oho had forgot this is the one where Trapper has a mild head cold, in his goldenrod robe

“Is your cold better?” “Does a cold ever get bettah?” Trap, Icon

Alda looks notably skinny here. It’s his so shaped body… Like a plank, breadth seems normal but then you turn him sideways and it’s like oh, that is a thin flat man.

Trapper’s mocking laugh back to Frank while shoving his gun away—SO BOYFRIEND THIS EPISODE

Trapper just hollered to Hawkeye to take notes on his date. God. It really is that kind of queered heterosexuality where all their nurse pursuits are ultimately just about bonding with each other. The heterosexual in service to the homosocial.

“Eight cans, eight shots. That should be about right.” Larry Linville, I’m laughing my butt off.

I miss the Japanese ‘Happy Days Are Here Again’ cover every day of my life

Henry: “Well hell's bells, we’re a hospital! That’s against the Geneva Convention!” Radar: “I’m not for it either, sir.”

Full male rear nudity on American broadcast television, M*A*S*H truly did it all

Trapper’s already on the phone with someone when Hawkeye crawls into the office, GOD the competence. So boyfriend this episode, reprise.

Oh haven’t mentioned yet how very very cute it is that Henry’s office is papered with his daughter’s drawings she sends him. I like to imagine that it’s actually a bit of a gallery, that other members of the unit tack up some of their kid’s drawings too.

“Radar—” “Get a white flag, yes sir. [little head shake]” Gary is incredible this episode

“You could roll over first” is definitely the assault joke too far. I actually can kinda forgive the first "violations" one weirdly because of the follow-up on it later, but this one is like, Hawk come ON.

Frank just happily head-empty drawing circles on Margaret’s kneeeee :)

Oh my god Radar’s bit where he says his metabolism makes his body turn to liquid…I'm dyin'

The rhythm of this episode, this transition now to creeping outside in the dark to find Frank and THIS MUSIC. This show should have had more score honestly, I always enjoy what it brings so much.

And then bringing Frank with him to go investigate the mess tent! Yes! This script is perfectly structured, truly.

GARY SO FUNNY THIS EP OH MY GOD

God yeah and the ending, going up to treat the man who was shooting at them…too good, gotta include it.

/

2x12 ‘The Incubator’

They are so so wretched and hungover and soft, moving and speaking with each other so gently and pained, god I love these messes

Something so endearingly funny to me about Radar casually explaining “I was too sleepy” for why they didn’t use him as their virgin sacrifice last night. Like, everyone’s got a role to play in society! Sometimes you’re the camp’s temple virgin! ….Oh wow actually Radar is a vestal virgin. Being a vestal virgin is all about having arcane knowledge, so many mysterious little jobs, and an attitude. Radar, lean into this.

They actually WANT Frank to chastise them for their night, god, their relationship sometimes!!! And then they’re genuinely like aw, geee, recognizing he’s right they aren’t the bright eyed bushy tailed young doctors he met. “We’re gonna get our tails bushed again, you’ll see!”

Hawkeye is still using 'bushy tail' as a shorthand a scene later

This episode? Good. Good choice, past me. I like how it starts with the aftermath of goofy debauchery, then starts showing itself to be a mission episode, with the two off them getting more driven as they get more sober, while still holding ice packs to their foreheads to illicit our chuckles at their hungover patheticness.

“Henry the war’s been running for two years, surely the government must be showing a profit by now.” Haha damn.

Hawkeeeeyyye, he’s now taken to calling their new era simply “B.T.”, and Trapper just nods knowing what he means while Henry’s like what the hell?

Henry’s advice is to show up looking handsome. I love Henry's approach to things.

And now it becomes a Great River of Commerce story. It’s a good script!!!

Riveted by how Hawkeye’s glinting sarcasm is scanning as genuine delight in avarice to this guy, while Trapper’s straightforwardness gets him labeled as the one with “a nasty streak of morality.” Hawkeye, glancing a quick amused look at him: haha babe he thinks I’m Evil. Trapper: sighhh. u are.

The other thing that crushes in this episode is that after rocking up in full Class A uniforms at the start of their odyssey, they start gradually shedding pieces, giving them new looks for each successive stage of their quest. A reverse of the wives in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Pierce & McIntyre operating as a duo can power me for a day. They just seamlessly play to each other’s strengths. Let Hawkeye get up and get mouthy but clever, draw attention, land a few points that aren’t gonna fade so quickly, and then when they turn to Trapper, thinking he’s gonna be someone reasonable they can fall back on, he just literally stands up to join him at his shoulder like, floor back to him I think. This general, it dawning on him: “Are you two together?” Hawkeye, literally, with a loose little smile: “In all kinds of weather.”

God and now they’re just a double act, picking up each other’s sentences, laying out a wall of fact on data point on incriminating detail.

They are just so sexy this episode

‘The Incubator’: kind of a perfect little episode to be honest! A secret fave, of the kind I have. I have my actual, more flashy faves, and then I have my other ones where it’s like, you know which episode I really love?

/

2x13 ‘Deal Me Out’

Hawk & Trap hollering at Radar as he takes their towels, little nose in the air: “I’m kidding!” “He was kidding!” “You’re beautiful!” #VestalVirginBehavior

I wish Captain Sam Pak had been in 15 more episodes. The M*A*S*H judge-of-character equivalent of whether or not a dog likes you is whether or not someone moves right past Klinger wearing dresses to getting engaged with his style choices, and Sam does immediately.

It’s entertaining to me that Hawkeye loves poker while consistently having mediocre to poor luck. He’s always just casually fucking up and folding. He's not good at this! And doesn't seem to care! He's just in it for the card game gossip.

“Hi, Frank. What’s new up on the Mount?” SID-NEY.

Aw forgot this is the one with baby John Ritter, winging an enameled cup at Frank’s head

KLINGER’S SUNGLASSES. At night.

What I love about this episode is that for a story that is predominately about sitting around a table, it has SUCH movement, literally and figuratively. Everything is continuously escalating over in the hospital, AND at the game in the Swamp, as various characters are getting up from and returning to the game. Another contributor is that they just keep adding new people into the mix: we get Sidney and Sam right up front, then the old Korean man, John Ritter, FLAGG... Just a real sense that this is a whole camp of numerous people all engaged in their little things, which I always love when a show can pull off.

Wild for whenever Henry is compelled to remember he’s the commanding officer and pulls rank on someone, particularly Flagg. Except hey, Flagg’s a colonel too… Well he’s wearing captain’s bars here though, they probably hadn’t decided that yet.

“Thanks for seeing me, Sidney :)” 15 EPISODES AND A MOVIE

Was staring and staring at Sam’s insignia trying to figure out what on earth was going on here, and finally realized: he’s Korean Army. Shaking my damn head.

2x11’Carry On, Hawkeye’

Phantom PA guy’s voice cracking with illness—he too is susceptible to disease

Is this breathing through my ears joke a thing, or just something very odd he is saying

Hawkeye instantly delegating Margaret to replace Frank working with Sheila, and having Father Mulcahy step in to assist him: you love to see management in action

“Father, as long as we’re working together, is it alright if I call you Dad?” Stopp

Radar bringing Hawkeye coffee in an orange mug that says “HANK” (?) while he sits on the phone at Henry’s desk whimsically yet urgently trying to explain to a general that yes he’s a capable young surgeon but he’s not looking for a husband, he’s looking for help. Sorry, once again I don’t have a comment, I just love it. The mug is so "workplace"!! Just inheriting random objects!!

Radar, happy that Hawkeye is semi-letting him make him take command: “Yes, sir!” Hawkeye, drawing up: “Don’t get fresh.”

Margaret all I’M IN CHARGE, and Hawkeye just like that would be terrific in so many ways, thank you

I actually think this episode is a great blueprint for what makes Hawkeye’s sexism such an odd grey area. His quips to the nurses are almost always around their sexual availability, but that doesn’t actually preclude him from also totally trusting them as fellow medical professionals, possibly more than any other doctor in this camp. He’s confident in them, praises their good work, and above all puts them in charge of things, that’s the part that really feels outré for the 1950s. And the Army, for that matter. And he does all this while also joking that he wishes he could put his arms around them. It’s all a muddle!

I DIE. Did CBS simply not know about pegging, is that how they got this scene through. I mean it's fucking perfect.

Henry, walking in still feverish: “Well, Mr. and Mrs. 4077th.” I still don’t even know how to unpack this, just that god, it needs to be. THEY’RE A NARRATIVE PAIR. The prom king & queen of the MASH unit. Mr. and Mrs. 4077th.

Trapper wants to help him so bad. Also wants him to kiss his forehead in the middle of post-op. Trapper honey you are so under the weather.

GODDD I love Hawkeye & Margaret, these two!!!! This is where it started babyyy. His little goofy forlorn face looking up at her as she sticks the thermometer in his mouth, her little warmed dancing quirk of a smile when he says he wants to get well to tease her all over again, this literal expression :)). Themmm!

Hawkeye: “Radar, you’ll be assisting Margaret Houlihan, nurse, friend, and all-around good egg.” Radar and Margaret: Margaret, gently: “He’s very sick.” [softly] help!

“Okay gang. Ours is not to question why…” Ohhh. “Ours is not to let ‘em die.” But he doesn’t finish it here. He’s too sick, he just trails off as he works, and we don’t get the end of it until the start of Season 4.

His little sweet squinted up grin, “That really hits me where I live, thanks!” Haha help!

Radar trying to take his pulse and realizing he doesn’t have a watch to count byyy

Listen if it wasn’t obvious I adore this one

/

2x24 ‘A Smattering of Intelligence’

This opening bit with Margaret is such peak Hawkeye. I can hardly explain. Quipping to a patient to get better before the movie that night, the horrible outfit, the flirting that is just all self-deprecating or offering her use of his hands.

Margaret: [rips Flagg’s sleeve off] “Oh.” Hawkeye: “You thought about going into burlesque, Colonel?”

Flagg is currently presenting as only a Lieutenant Colonel. FYI. Even rank with Henry.

“He’s a CPA.” I laughed way more than I should have at this.

I thought I was going to be able to handle Hawkeye in shorts, but now he’s sitting like a weirdo in the Swamp and I’m not, I’m not able to handle it.

“Captain Stone.” “That’s not my real name.” “Ohh boy.” Henry is already so tired.

Henry: “Why do we have to be in the middle? Can’t you let my people go?”

He’s lounging again. With his boots and his bare knees.

He also has an entire pocket of these Q-tips he’s been chewing on this episode. What’s up, baby.

A lot of screen-cap-worthy shots in this episode. You've probably already seen some of them. That's because people are making good choices.

Okay but spy Radar is so choice though. He's perfect.

“Fellas, it’s been both a privilege and a nightmare meeting you.” I gotta start saying this.

/

2x20 ‘As You Were’

What I like about the one where everyone’s going stir-crazy is the physicality with which they’re rendering this mental state. Hawkeye just crossed the mess tent to Frank predominantly on top of the benches, stretched out practically full length on his elbow next to him to ask what he’s doing, then clambered back to Trapper along the bench tops again. Just very good.

Ohhhhhh my god, I forgot this was the one where Trapper & Hawkeye put Frank in a box. Watching and waiting as Radar plays the morning ‘Reveille’, drinking coffee in their robes….

Klinger’s red outfit is fire lbr

They make Henry deliver just so many sex lectures

Gary’s perfect delivery of that VD line is what makes this whole scene worth it

The amount of Klinger outfits we get this episode! And they’re always complimenting him!

Margareeetttt like yes, yes of course Frank, they’re horrible, but also oh my god the thing you WANT them to do is operate on you

They’re soooo impossible <33 swooping into the operating room with their gloved sterile hands up, still doing this whole comedy routine <3 Frank is SUFFERING

“He’s an idiot, but he’s really stacked.” Trapper Why

I really do love this episode. It’s made in the transition to the second half being all surgery.

Henry: “Organize some donors, Father, get plenty of blood.” Trapper: “Yeah you’ve just been promoted to vampire.” Hawkeye: “Turn in your cross.”

Fourth Klinger outfit, and it’s fabulous. In case he gets dizzy giving blood he “brought a pair of low heels.” I love him.

Gary’s impression of “a major” on the phone is Quite good. Fun to be reminded that he’s a talented impressionist.

Oh okay, Radar canonically 19. Wait what was that Karl Urban Bones meme, like oh great Jim, he’s 19.

“Fred? Do you think the principal saw us?” Frank what

This episode has an incredible amount of gay quips. OH GOD is that what that was earlier about Fred??!

Aw wow, when the newborn baby cries and they all look up from the wounds they’re working on

Fifth Klinger outfit. Doozy of an ep.

/

2x22 ‘George’

Trapper singing most if not all of ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’ in surgery

Hawkeye, all worn out: “I hate sunrise. And those damn birds will start singing in a minute. Who are they to remind us of happiness?” Nurse: “We go back on again in an hour.” Hawkeye: “Amazing.” Nurse: “The sunrise?” Hawkeye: “The O.R. The amount of punishment the human body can take and still survive.” Trapper: “The doctors or the patients?” Hawkeye: “Which are we?” Wow okay Stoppard M*A*S*H (♥)

Someone’s gotta explain this “It only happens when I go tourist” line to me, as it’s ostensibly the reason why Private Weston knows he can come out to Hawkeye and what on EARTH does that mean!

JESUS CHRIST THE “I LIKE MINE THROUGH THE BOOT” JOKE WAS IN ‘GEORGE’??!!

Hawkeye: “What’s your rush, the war will still be there. Its options have been picked up for another year.” Lordy. M*A*S*H walked so Arrested Development could run honestly.

LOVE the way George comes out by the way. Little obvious logic puzzle, and Hawkeye perfectly playing along.

The entire pick-up football game tackling Father Mulcahy upstage makes me laugh so, so much

Oh god yeah—shots checkers

Wild that they are getting very very drunk playing shots checkers to try to talk about how this soldier has come out to Hawkeye and now what do they do

Wiiiild how many exhausted gay ass looks Hawley keeps giving to Trapper as Frank shares his ~information~

Love that Trapper is construing of homosexual behavior as just an expression of “individuality.” That so figures for him. God what a man.

Hawkeye: “How can you kick this little puppy of a person?” The puppy is Radar.

“Frank, why are you telling me this? Has the man made a pass at you? At me, at anyone?” I love Henry Blake. “Well you just never know, do you?” I am convinced sometimes he does. I am convinced Henry Blake knows far more about some of his officers in some regards than Potter ever did, and is just peaceably pretending he has no idea so that he’s got plausible deniability to keep not doing anything about it. Which is what makes it so annoying that Frank is talking to him about this right now.

It really is stunning that in the episode with the canon queer character & associated fall-out they are not remotely stopping doing things like Hawkeye stepping in for this nurse and stroking his hand until Henry asks if they can skip past the manicure

“a noncommittal goodbye leer”

Oho, Trapper canonically 6’3”. Damn Hawk your boyfriends are all so tall

Goddd bless Larry Linville for somehow making “Trap” sound like the most awkward terrible thing coming out of his mouth

“Trapper John McHypocrite” and asking him to look you in the eye could be a BIT much for the specifics of Weston’s situation, Hawkeye! Let’s reel around, let’s pivot!

The saucy no-hetero rewrite of this final button is too easy, and at least they gave us that.

/

2x21 ‘Crisis’

Father Mulcahy looks so cute in his jacket. He’s got his collar flipped up against the wind. Philadelphia <3

“Morning, Father. Take a pew.” Cute

Pierce, stop flirting with the priest

Very surprising that Alda is the least bundled up in this scene, how'd this happen

Trapper commenting that he’s gotta write this Frankism down and then actually doing it and sticking the note in his shirt pocket—my guy

Very foolish to put Hawkeye on maintenance & general services

Henry: “Now Radar will be the Housing Officer. Before this is over, we may have to double up or triple up to save heat. Radar will decide who sleeps with who.” Trapper: “Radar, I’d like to see you right after the meeting.” It’s such a funny line reading, and then he ends up cozy in adjoined cots with Hawkeye and it’s even better.

Oooo is this the debut of Klinger’s fur coat!

I love when the couples face off

Trapper, holding an unlit flashlight on Frank as he tries to move for the hot plate: “I’ve got you covered.”

Frank: “Ohh, you!” Together: “We are Not.” I’m gonna murder them

All them piling in shivering to the Swamp fills my heart with, incongruously, warmth. This is when the show really started to family them. The addition of Father Mulcahy and Corporal Klinger is key to this.

Klinger: “I’ve never slept in an officer’s tent before.” Hawkeye: “We’ll try to be kind.” Oh my god

Second appearance of Radar’s homemade surgical gauze & headphones earmuffs, BLESS

Love Klinger practicing skincare

“Power boss,” fun. Trapper really does take to being responsible for something so well. He likes a task.

I’ll never be over Trapper & Hawkeye essentially in a double bed under Frank sideways in a hammock. This was such wonderful blocking. “Frank, stop swinging.”

“Father, it’s cold out there—you want my stole?” “Oh, thank you my son!” Meanwhile, the boys are scrabbling around with Frank’s feet trying to steal his socks. Larry: “Noooo!” Obsessed with this episode

Haha it actually does kinda feel like a season finale the way it ends on the visual of Henry’s office now entirely empty. Thanks for validating my order choices, M*A*S*H!

AO3 wrapped! 🌸 17, 18, and/or 29?

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

Answered here and here! Short version, it's Shen Qingqiu, with Wei Wuxian as close second. Well, if I didn't delight in writing them, I probably would not have gotten into the fandoms about them, lol.

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Answered here -- of the characters I actually wrote, probably Jin Ling, because the characters who gave me even more trouble than Jin Ling did not get written. T_T

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

Ohhh gosh. How to pick one. Hmmmm.

Maybe it's recency bias, but I did kind of laugh myself sick over this bit in In Durance Veil:

It probably said a lot about the kind of person Shen Qingqiu was that when he awoke to the sight of a white gauzy canopy overhead, perfumed sachets hanging from all four corners, that his first thought was not What a lovely morning! even though it was, since mornings on Cang Qiong Mountain were always exquisite. Nor was it Gosh, it's good to be home, even though it was, after a long month held captive in the Water Prison under Huan Hua Palace. It wasn't even What?! How am I alive, I thought for sure I was dead! even though his last memory before the lights went out was of gathering all his energy for one last burst of self-detonation. No, the very first thought that crossed through Shen Qingqiu's mind, opening his eyes to Qing Jing Peak, was: Mother-shit-fucking-sonuva-damn! Am I in a timeloop?!

Basically, I just imagine Shen Yuan's mental soundtrack to be this song at all times.

AO3 wrapped!

[crimeboys]

hello metfell says u have thoughts on ctubbo and timeloops please share :]

ohhh anon. my thoughts on ctubbo and timeloops well they are all here in this fic that i will suggest you pay very very close attention to the tags of before deciding whether or not to read.

[zannolin]

2, 3, 6 (for three's a crowd), 15, 17, 18 for the fae au, 23, 28 for the ask game!

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

screaming @ how accurate these are and also the jump between the first two. i'm such a hurt comfort girlie.

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

oh look i made a bingo for this that basically sums it up. throw in a little religious trauma and aro confusion. for flavor.

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

ohhh three's a crowd ur my fav person ever for asking this. there's actually a lot of little details and content that got cut from it while i was writing simply because it was so damn long and stuff that i liked conceptually didn't end up fitting in by the time i got around to writing. a couple things would be that riley has a lucky hoodie (the one he's wearing most of the first movie); as more time goes on, unless he's at some kind of event, he actually goes back to wearing hoodies and his glasses more than suits and contacts because (in this fic universe anyway) he was dressing professionally to try to be taken more seriously and eventually gave up/realized his friends care about him whether he's in glasses or not; and also, regardless of if emily and patrick got remarried after BoS, emily did not change her last name (back?) to gates. FUCK canon. canon is so wrong for that. that is dr. emily APPLETON. i stand by this.

15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?

oh it's so harddd to choose. i think the award still has to go to without anesthetic bc man. i love my silly little fey worldbuilding. i love it so much. but the polar express au remains beloved in my heart.

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

i want to take the characters from the man from snowy river (1983) and i want to put them into the scorpio races universe. as a treat. for me. world's most bonkers niche fic i am the ONLY person in the target audience the target audience is when i look in the mirror. and i don't care i love it. some honorable mentions would be megstine (meg/christine from phantom of the opera) paranormal investigator au where christine is haunted and goes to meg for help; a truman show au for shazam; there was literally another that was so wildly unhinged and i forgot what it was while typing the rest of them out...rip me. it was good tho. maybe some qibli/winter/moonwatcher fic idk.

18. If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?

oh for the fey au that's easy. i'll never write it since those days are gone but i told moth the one thing that i thought about writing but never got a chance to was wil meeting cornerwitch q. there just wasn't a very logical place to fit it into the narrative so they never actually interacted which is kind of a bummer but also it wasn't necessary for the story, so.

23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?

[chanting] timeloop timeloop TIMELOOP

28. Does anyone read your fics before you post them? If so, who?

no beta we die like i do every time i clock on at work. the only people who read my fics before they're posted would be whichever friend happens to be interested in the fandom i'm writing for and thus gets snippets dropped in dms on occasion. usually that means it's blu lol.

thank you for the asks <3

ask game!

[kitnita]

Asks: 5, 6, 8, 19, 29.

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

ohhh i don't like to close the door on anything forever BUT the first thing i ever wanted to write for robotter came about during worlds in 2021. i outlined the whole tournament while it was going down & while i started storyboarding certain scenes during that time, i don't think that first iteration will see the light of day. like for one thing i have since super changed how i write robo, who was the pov character in that. i will never give up shouting out latvia in my fic & i'm sure at some point i will write a latvia worlds timestamp, but that first fic idea is doa.

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

i reread everything!! i am a serial re-reader!!! i am also so sad that ao3 is down so i can't do my usual excessively cited sources. eta after going through my downloaded fics on the books app & getting titles and authors names, if not links: þæt wæs god hláford by chevalric, michigan's in the rearview by aliquis, later's better than never by canary, odour by coffeehound91 (more recent, but super good!!), quarters halves and wholes by ladyeggplant.

8. What project(s) are you currently working on?

i just sent in my small fic for @inrareformfest late late last night, and i'm currently wrapping up my second Big Project for @notacowfest. i'm also looking over my outline & worldbuilding notes for my hbb fic so i can get that going as soon as my starsfest fic is done!! other than that: i'm slowly working on a tydel/otter fic that'll probably serve as a backdoor pilot to some eventual dellyotterkennedi throuple fic, + working on my outlines for a robotter bachelor au & an outline for a robotter fic that i expected to do for the starsfest & then realized i had too much to say to be able to get it in under the deadline w my other fills. my baseball au & timeloop fic + a robotter romcom longfic idea are the Big Outlines i've been workshopping for a couple months now, and i'm sure one of those will come up in the queue after my hbb fic w some <10k fic coming in throughout the rest of those ideas.

19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.

[frantically looking for a recent snippet from something that isn't for an imminent fest] OKAY ...... woe .......... trevorjamie supernatural perpetual wip be upon ye

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Otter huffed out a little laugh over the line, but he still sounded more annoyed than amused. The part of Jason that was, despite himself, governed a little bit by alpha instincts ached for him. Jason tried to remind himself not to ache, but that didn't do anything. Otter wasn't here in the hotel with Jason anyway. What he couldn't scent couldn't hurt them. “I haven’t thought about kids, period, this much before. It sucks.” Jason rolled his head on his pillow to look over at his phone, where he could hear Otter sigh over speaker. It was a good reminder, he guessed. Jason might’ve been annoyed that what was happening to Otter was rushing the pace of their relationship — even if they’d both seemed to agree to pretend they couldn’t read between the lines of what they meant to each other. But Otter had space to be a lot more annoyed at this rushing; it was his body turning on him, making all these too-soon conversations crop up when they weren't even close enough to let their scents do all the talking. Jason dropped the attempted levity. , “I haven't either," he said, then added, maybe a little too honestly, "But, uh — I'm here to talk to you whenever you are thinking about them." "Oh yeah?" He could hear a shift in Otter's tone. All wry and breathless, like he was somewhere between touched and aroused. It hit Jason in the part of him that wasn't governed by alpha instincts but was, despite itself, governed a little by Otter. "Yeah, man," he said. "I always want you to come to me when you're feeling big stuff. That's … that's what we're here for, to each other."

a snippet i ended up cutting from if i could sink my teeth into you!

good news, tumblr user @cielosphere, i love any and all opportunities to talk abt this :3

OK SO

this whole thing started when i was listening to lullaby for a princess a while back and was like “huh this is just like ei and scara omg”

specifically the song being from ei’s pov, because in her voiceline abt him she says she feels like she owes him something for abandoning him which matches celestia’s guilt about having to imprison luna in the moon. they did what they had to for the good of themselves and others, even if they were hesitant to do so.

however, their resolution is probably much different than luna’s and celestia’s, if they get any at all. because immediately seeing the person who abandoned you for thousands of years is not gonna go like “ohhh i missed u im so sorry for being evil :((((“ no matter what mlp might try to tell you.

ei probably wants some sort of closure, scara likely does not.

speaking of scara, the song the moon rises (a luna fansong) also fits him rather well.

luna growing more and more resentful towards celestia for being so well loved matches up well with scara’s building resentment towards ei for abandoning him. he even has a similar arc to luna, wanting to live up to what he thinks he was meant to be (a god in his case), gaining the power and becoming corrupt, and then being brought down (though, more with the power of timeloops than friendship i guess lmao).

in conclusion scara and ei are luna and celestia real.

there is no hear me out. you will listen.
