#pizza dwight

[ask-the-dweets]

Some cozy boys by the fire during the cold season!

[ask-the-scrapper]

David likes helping Pizza get some sleep, but it helps him a lot too. Kind of a later continuation of @ask-the-dweets comic?

[ask-the-dweets]

Pizza is once again here and even more visible than usual to celebrate Trans Day of Visibility!

Wasn’t sure I wanted to redraw last year’s pic because I didn’t think I had improved that much. Happy to see some visible improvement though!

[ask-the-dweets]

Elf had been wandering through the forest on the way back to camp when he happened upon Jake collapsed on the ground.

Odd, Jake didn't look particularly comfortable and normally if he was at their campfire he was spending time with Fancy wasn't he? Elf himself wasn't very fond of this asshole being anywhere near their camp in the first place but something had to be wrong, which... nothing was necessarily right in the fog but this was more off than usual.

The man was relatively obscured by the darkness of the forest but Dwight could make out flecks of blight glowing on Jake's skin, and what seemed to be blood too. Other than that though, he looked fine, no actual wounds, no mutations. Maybe he had been off sticking his nose in somewhere he shouldn't... for the bazillionth time.

He debated on trying to wake the man himself, or maybe just leave him there all together, but decided against it. Maybe it was a trap of some sort? He really didn't know this Jake very well considering they were nearly always at each other's throats. Maybe this was some stupid weird thing this Jake did sometimes... looking practically collapsed on the ground... Whatever. It really wasn't any of his business, he'd go get the others and figure out what to do. Even if he was injured he should heal now that he was at a survivor camp, and Elf could only hold so much sympathy for the unconscious bastard.

He took note of where Jake was and hurried to the campfire to find the other two Dwights.

"Hey Fancy, Pizza. Did either of you guys know Jake was here?" Elf asked as he came out of the bushes and walked through the clearing to the fire.

"Jake? L-like wolf Jake?" Pizza asked

"Yeah, he's collapsed in the forest back there." Elf pointed in the direction he had come from "I didn't know if that was a normal thing or..."

Both Fancy and Pizza looked confused, no neither of them knew Jake was here, their confusion slowly turned more into worry, especially on Fancy's part.

"He's-he's collapsed out there?"

"I guess? Sure didn't look like he fell asleep like that."

Fancy stood up and walked towards the forest, "Could you, uhm, please show me where he is? I want to- to make sure he's okay."

"Yeah of course"

Pizza got up too and decided to tag along, extra help might be good if needed... Or an extra pair of eyes when they go out into the forest. It was never something he did on his own, the woods never felt very safe.

They didn't have to walk very far to make it back to where Elf had left the man. Still there, still out cold. "Well... he's not dead, thank goodness." Fancy said as he checked on Jake. The other two Dwights stayed farther back and surveyed the forest.

"He doesn't normally do this does he?"

"What? No, what?" Elf's question was partially sarcastic, Fancy assumed anyway, but it still left him bewildered. "Maybe we should uh, get him to the fire? He's- he might just need some rest. It looks like he's been through something."

<< previous thread | @ask-the-dweets

Jake’s consciousness flitted in and out as he was released, picked up and transported. For the most part, he was a lolling dead weight, unmoving even where he was left on the ground. Even after he roused from his unconscious state, he was unmoving. His eyes opened and warily assessed his surroundings, but that gave him no answers. There were trees. Same as anywhere else in this hellish fog.

He didn’t know how long he lay there, with no way to tell and no way to know how many times he’d drifted back into unconsciousness, before he finally had the strength to move again. His body felt exhausted and sore, his hands still hurting and his wrists feeling raw from the restraints, but it wasn’t the… worst pain ever. Moreso just the stiffness of overworked muscles and joints, than any pain he would expect to linger from the serum. The most noticeable, piercing pain was still in his spine, where he’d been injected. But even that was… tolerable, in a way he almost felt it shouldn’t be.

As he slowly pushed himself onto his elbows, and then his knees, and then, unsteadily, further up, he couldn’t help the cold dread that crept into his heart and up his throat. He had been injected with the blight—with the same thing that turned killers into monsters. Had turned Fancy into… that. But it hadn’t seemed to do anything. He looked down at his shaky hands; the one he had bit down on to break was stained with blood mixed with glistened gold, but that was it. No monstrous claws, no undulating tumors, no glow of vibrant veins beneath his skin. Just… his hands, injured and scarred and a little bloody, but otherwise normal.

He started walking very slowly, aimlessly at first. He thought about going to camp. That would be his best bet, remaining alone until he was snatched up for a trial and hoping death could reset whatever had been done to him… but his thoughts wandered. Grew distracted. They settled on Fancy, on Icarus. His stomach turned; he needed to let Fancy know. He needed to warn them.

The Fog coalescing around him wasn’t an entirely intentional choice. He was still heavily dazed and walking slowly, off-balance and uncertain of his own footsteps, but his focus didn’t need to be where he was walking. The Fog rose up to meet him, consuming before it cleared away again as quickly as it had appeared, and the woods looked no different. Jake knew where he was, and he followed the golden light of the campfire in the distance.

Exhaustion wore at him. The campfire was close enough, but it still felt so damn far. He couldn’t even properly see the clearing yet, and it had nothing to do with the fogginess of his vision. He groaned and paused, leaning against a tree for a moment so that he could get his bearings. Jake started to try and raise his voice to call out to Fancy, or any of them really, but his voice died in his throat. He couldn’t muster up the breath to shout.

“Fuck,” he breathed softly, closing his eyes and resting his head against the cool bark of the tree. Nauseating vertigo hit him and he swayed, grimacing uncomfortably. It was getting harder to keep his balance—and then he lost it entirely, slipping to the ground after a stumbling step, muscles loosening and contracting in all the wrong ways. He was on his hands and knees for a few moments before those gave out too.

An exhausted whine left him, rattling in his throat. His limbs would barely listen to him.

God, he was so close.

✨ Weekly Tag Wednesdays ✨

Thank you! @mybrainismelted @energievie @deedala @lingy910y for tagging me in this 💕 I like all of these questions!

Name:  Julia

Location: By an open window as we are having an October heat wave

Did you collect anything as a child? Stickers! There was a whole era (80s kids you will recall) that stickers were all the rage and there were themed books where you could collect them. I still kind of have a thing for them.

Do you collect anything now? I promised myself i never would - but yes, i get fridge magnets when I visit a new city.

What random piece of office equipment do you have a weird attachment to? This made me thing of when Jim put Dwight’s stapler in jello. Otherwise, let’s give it up to the 3-hole punch, you must feel so neglected.

Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first? Do the same with your left arm.  Right arm - the dining room chair next to the one im sitting on. Left arm - my insulated coffee cup, from which I will be drinking for the next 2 hours.

Do you drive? If so, have you ever crashed?  OK wow you’ve read my mind I’ve always wanted to tell you this story. I love driving. In college, I was on my way to visit a friend’s dorm in another city, and I (very lightly!) crashed into the car in front of me……. while listening to “Crash” by Dave Matthews Band.

You’ve been given $1000 but you can only spend it at one store. which store do you choose?  Spend it on stickers! JK… quite possibly Uniqlo for a full closet of Fall basics. (but the answer is probably Target or Amazon)

What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?  My self-deprecating humor? 

What's your go-to flavor for cough drops?  Honey - but then Cherry

What does your latest text message from someone else say? “It’s also a new moon today 🌝”

What are your preferred pizza toppings? It sounds so fancy, but Trader Joe’s has this Mushroom & Black Truffle one that’s so good.

If you wish to play! 🪄 otherwise, sending you all a sweet treat @palepinkgoat @jrooc @sgtmickeyslaughter @michellemisfit @suzy-queued

Happy Spooky Month!! (Oh and a rant too)

Welp. Guess the millie sui**** discourse will never happen. Then again, the fact that the leaks confirmed she actually wanted to go down that route is extremely distasteful.

That being said, aside from a few annoying scenes, this felt like a return to form to the show I enjoyed watching back in season one. Though now thanks to the permanent plot shift that is the Stoliz x Blitz drama (which isn't even a healthy relationship both outside and inside the show), it's hard for me to fully get back into. Love the animation still and even though Ronaldo isn't entirely the same dude in the leaks, he pretty much stole the show.

Though I do wanna say he looks too much like Dwight Schrute and Gyro Gearloose (2017).

World-Building, what's that?

I also wanna say how much this show's worldbuilding is so bleh. I mean it in a way that in the show, it's portrayed as not so different from the human world which is supposed to be the point of hell. Even how they die are too similar and this is the show that's connected with Hazbin Hotel that said that Demons can only be killed by angelic weapons. I'd rewrite it like this:

Demon culture is very sex/violence positive depending on which level of hell you're on. Wrath is an easy example where it's common for demons to hurt and fight each other, not to kill each other (unless they got their hands on an angelic item), but as a way of communication.

Potential Fanfic Idea?

But to get back on topic, as much as I am happy that the leaked scenes never got to be used, I still feel annoyed and disappointed that Viv would want that in her show. Although, this and the leaks did inspire me to maybe write a version of ghostf**kers but in a different world with different characters.....

I cannot wait for both fandoms to tear me alive for this.

Updates

Finally, updates on my personal life and my current progress on Pizza Cakes: The Rebake. (Punny :3)

I got a job now along with my usual college stuff! It's actually pretty good and I get to work from home. Though this does mean my activity on here and my projects will be limited. I still plan to finish this fanfic by the end of this year.

So with all that done, have a happy spooky month!!

[lostgrimesgirl]

"What made you want to go into that?" Lena asked genuinely curious. She found it interesting to hear about the way people talked about their lives before, it often helped her figure out a lot about a person. She remembered how often when they sounded bitter about the past they'd lost the person wasn't really someone she wanted to be around. "Is the homeless thing why you were the one who found people for this place?" Lena asked. Her face flushed for a moment unsure if that was still something Aaron did, " sorry, my dad mentioned you being the one to bring his group here."

" I think sometimes Simon was a lot of the problem in the Sanctuary," Lena said softly, " he was power-hungry and mean. I don't think I ever saw him do anything if it didn't benefit him."

Lena wasn't naive, she hadn't been in years, not since Rick was shot. She knew all too well someone like Simon wouldn't have survived, let alone thrive, if Negan hadn't built an environment for someone like him would be attracted to. "I think..." She'd never admitted this to Negan, wouldn't have dared say it in the walls of her old home," I think things were failing long before Negan ran into this place. I think it was only a matter of time before someone like Simon did far worse than what the war was."

Lena remembered the boundaries Simon had tried to cross with her when she had first arrived, the way he'd never forgiven her for rejecting him and treated her like nothing more than a trophy for Negan, the way he'd glare at Negan when he thought no one was watching. Lena had never trusted the man, the way he'd bragged about the deaths he caused had made her sick to her stomach.

" I know Negan is to blame, I know what he did was awful and fucked up, but he also saved my life... I was a mess when he found me, I shouldn't have been alive but he made sure I did. It's just hard to reconcile the man who burnt people's faces off for the same things he did and killed people with that stupid fucking bat was the same man who I mentioned a book to once, went out of his way to find a copy for me and made sure I never went hungry the minute he took me in."

"It's not like when we had history books and stuff where we could take a peek at what life was like in the past. Eventually, there's not going to be any real proof of what life was like before all this," Lena mused frowning a bit. Lena smiled at his words, " I think it's one of those things where the universe tells you what's right. Isn't that why they tell people to trust their gut or whatever?" Lena wondered if Rick felt that way about Judith, that no matter what the truth of the entire messy history that led to her was, the little girl was meant to be his daughter.

Lena nodded listening as Aaron explained the origins of Alexandria. It shouldn't have been a surprise to her that people in the government had a safety net like this built before the world felt but it didn't stop the pang of bitter anger that flashed in her. Though none of it mattered now, no one was able to escape the outbreak.

"Were you a politician before all this?" Lena asked looking over at Aaron. He looked too young to be in any big jobs in the government from what Lena remembered. But she hadn't really paid attention to anything in politics until the world began to fall.

"Yeah," Lena agreed shrugging a little as he tried to stay neutral in his tone when talking about the Sanctuary. "I think people were always like that in the privacy of their own homes but suddenly a lot of people's homes became so much smaller."

Lena remembered waking up in the early hours of the morning getting woken up by men fighting and being too afraid to get out of her bed to go get any help. She'd practically begged Negan at one point to change rooms until he finally let her switch. It had helped a bit but she'd still wait till the halls were nearly silent most mornings to get up.

"It wasn't all bad," Lena added, " I started painting again, read a lot of books, and we had food and a safe place to stay. I.." she paused before speaking again. " I just don't want people to feel sorry for me or think..." she sighed a bit as she found her words. " It just wasn't all bad, most people there are good and just trying to do their best with the mess the world became."

Lena smiled, "I feel that way too if after all of this shit people can still manage to find love and the people who love them..." She looked at the ground for a moment, " it can't all be bad and maybe the bad is worth it in the end."

Lena watched Aaron's face light up when he spoke about his daughter. She remembered seeing that look on Rick's face when he talked about her or Carl to the other people at the station or their teachers.

"That's beautiful," Lena said earnestly. " I think her and Judith and the kids that grow up with all this are going to be the ones to really build something stable for this world." She knew Gracie was the child of someone at Negan's outpost though she was sure she didn't know the family personally. "I'm happy for you, you'll be a great dad."
