COMBINE!!!

I'm so so sorry ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

[ask-the-rag-dolly]

after listening to an among us song i was given the drive to reboot this au so ,

originated from a doodle that spiraled , SPREAD THE INFLUENCE is an au where ragatha is the ( unwilling ) host of a parasite called ' the influence ' which is a virus that only wants to spread and survive . she wasn't compliant about it at the beginning which was ' fixed ' with an itty bitty bit of psychological torment !

also yes i know the abbreviation is unfortunate and i do not care it's funny

even though ragatha's still our usual sweet little optimist , there is this persistent feeling of wrongness . too positive . too affectionate . it's like all of her humanity has been scooped out and you're left with the mask she made for others in the circus .

which is how the virus spread in the circus - they preyed on vulnerabilities which was what their host is perfect for . striking when the victim puts their guards down , making them submit under the guise that their problems will be fixed ... unfortunately it's a monkey's paw situation .

of course , that's only for this particular instance of the influencer ! something to note is that the virus takes a lot from the host's personality , so t.i's mellow and passive , only resorting to violence whenever necessary . t.i's not really an opposite ragatha she's more like a Dark , Fucked Up Version of ragatha the amazing digital circus . she cares a lot for everyone she considers a part of her hive , but it took a lot of manipulation and gaslighting for them to get infected .

caine is left uninfected because " i would do that if my goal is to destroy this place ! " t.i's ultimate fear has always been dying . it'll do everything to not die , to the point it's trying to spread out of the circus ( <- honestly take this info with a grain of salt i wrote this before i fully developed the story ) . unfortunately there's this jester who's resisting the virus with pure lesbian rage and is trying to stop her .

now rags would eventually get de-influenced and the circus will no longer be infected , but we will talk about the extremely rocky journey of recovering from knowing you harmed everyone you cared about Later

was this ' the influence ' that amanda ( ragatha's va ) keeps referencing ? sighs ... yeah . ( feels so surreal that i can say i have their seal of approval for this )

why ragatha ? in story , how is she not the perfect host ? metatextually , this is an au of an au - this came from a blog about ragatha getting a virus that is inconveniencing her life . i simply thought of an idea of ' hey what if the virus took over her body ' one day . then this abomination was born . i would reveal the why and how she got infected ... eventually .........

is she still afraid of centipedes ? is it a ragatha if she doesn't have a fear of centipedes

does pomni still use a taser ? yeah

could i use / be inspired by the influence for my au ? i did not invent the concept of Computer Viruses so feel free to be inspired by it , no credit needed . for t.i as a character specifically , please credit me !

are there ships ? just pomni x ragatha

is suggestive content of t.i ok ? just don't send them to me , tag it as #tw suggestive or #suggestive so i could filter it out

is nsfw content of t.i ok ? my tiny artist hands are powerless against the unstoppable force that is the internet so my answer will not matter . that being said , i recommend that they're not put in the main au tag so people won't unexpectedly come across it . and no i do not want to see it please do not send them to me

could i draw fanart / write fanfic of this au ? 100% yes you could either mention me or tag it under #tadc influence au

does this au have an ask blog ? nah just a normal blog lol

READ THE COMIC ... I GUESS ... !!

the main story

oh boy a prologue

[thatsgay-writes]

Glimmer x Reader Part 3

Summary: You were born different and not everyone was okay with that. After the death of your father, Bright Moon is the last place you can attempt to call home.

Warnings: Light cursing?

Being a personal guard for Glimmer was easy. The only part you didn't like was her trying to know everything about you. You didn't understand why she wanted to know you, you weren't interesting. You did like being part of the princess alliance though and being friends with the other princesses. You liked Mermista the most because you could just chill out with her and she never pushed you into talking about yourself like some of the others did. So, you never did. The most people knew about you was that your mom was a baker, your dad was dead, your Glimmer's personal guard, and that your favorite color was blue. Glimmer had finally confessed to her friends that she had a crush on you and they couldn't understand why. You and Glimmer were complete opposites. You were stoic, cold, serious while Glimmer was playful, childish, and sweet. They had questioned her many times on why she felt that way, but her answer was always the same. She didn't know why but something about you always intrigued her, caught her attention. She wanted to know everything about you, how to make you smile or laugh, how you really felt about the princess alliance, why you took a job as a guard, and so many other things.

She tried for months to get any emotion out of you, literally any emotion. But after three months, Glimmer accepted that fact that you may not ever see her how she sees you or even see her as a friend. That was until she got captured by Shadow Weaver. She had never seen you smile before and as quick as it was there, it was gone. You had smiled because, as much as you hate to admit it, you had grown a soft spot for Glimmer. You had feelings for but you would never act on them in the fear that she would find out your secret. You frowned because Entrapta was gone. Even though Entrapta was a little different from the other princess, you enjoyed spending time with her. She would show you all her cool robots and help you upgrade things when you were having trouble with it. You liked her energy and always found it cute when she would miss social ques. You held Glimmer as she fell to her knees with tears in her eyes after hearing about Entrapta's death. You held her through the night, making sure to leave before she woke up, when the princess alliance fell apart. You were her rock for those months, her strong but silent rock. You listened to her when no one else would, you let her take out her frustrations on you, and you let her cry on your shoulder when she couldn't do anything else.

You being there for Glimmer like that caused her feelings to grow, which disappointed her friends some. They honestly didn't think that you could have feeling like that. Which is why they cornered you on the way to breakfast, they needed you to let Glimmer down gently. "Y/n, whatever is happening need to end now." Adora says as she and Bow corner you in the hallway. "What is happening?" You ask, looking between the two in confusion. "What ever games your playing with Glimmer!" Bow said, kind of annoyed because he has a crush on the princess. "But I'm not playing any games with Glimmer... We do play cards sometimes though." Adora slapped her forehead in frustration, were you really that blind? "No not literal games. Look I don't know how your that dense but Glimmer has feelings for you and it's obvious you don't feel the same way. So before it gets too far just let her down gently and stop leading her on." Glimmer likes me? You thought as you stared at Adora and Bow with wide eyes. "She... What?" Bow rolls his eyes, "Glimmer likes you, it's literally so obvious."

You ended up not going to breakfast that morning and instead spent it in the training room. Around three, you had been in the training room since breakfast and skipped lunch, you heard someone walk into the room. "Y/n." You freeze at Glimmer's voice. "Did I do something wrong? Why are you avoiding me?" You clench your first before turning around to look at Glimmer. "You can't like me." "Huh? What?" "You can't like me. I'm your personal guard and that's it. We are not friends and you can not feel anything more than that." Glimmer had tears in her eyes now, where did all of this come from? Who told you about her feelings? "I... What... Who..." Glimmer slowly started backing up, towards the door. Your heart breaks at the sight of tears in Glimmer's eyes. Your heart broke, you did have feelings for her but you knew you couldn't let her get close but seeing her now, you knew you messed up. You hadn't let her down gently, you were too harsh. "Dammit... Glimmer, it wasn't supposed to come out like that." Glimmer just shakes her head before turning around. "No you made yourself clear. Don't worry, I won't think of you as anything else as a personal guard."

Over the next few weeks, everyone can see the obvious tension between you and Glimmer. You had tried multiple times to talk to Glimmer, to apologize. But every time you got close Bow would be there to cut you off. It was fine for the first week because you know you hurt her more than you ever wanted to but after the third week, it was getting annoying. "Bow I just want to talk to Glimmer! I want to apologize!" You practically yelled at Bow as he stood in front of Glimmer's bedroom door. "No, you hurt Glimmer. I usually am all for friendship but you messed up." Bow says like he didn't have anything to do with you and Glimmer's fall out. "You were the one who told me to cut it off! I get that you have some big fat crush on Glimmer but that doesn't give you the right to decide who can and who cannot talk to her!" Glimmer stood with her ear against the door with a expression of shock. Bow likes me? Y/n has been trying to talk to me? Glimmer had no idea you were trying to talk to her, she thought you were just staying away from her. Glimmer opened her door slowly to peek out. What she saw was you and Bow up in each others faces. When you noticed her, Bow's back was to the door, you calmed down some and stepped back. Bow still hadn't noticed her, "Yeah that's what I thought. I know you like her but why would she ever date someone like you? I know your secret, what's in between your legs." Glimmer watched in shock as your face paled and you stumbled back some like you got hit in the stomach. "How? When?" "Two months ago some men from a village came to Queen Angella asking about an abomination that escaped from their village. When they described what the abomination looked like, it matched up exactly with what you look like." You just shook your head before walking away. Now that Glimmer knew there was something wrong with you, there was no way she would want to be at least your friend.

Glimmer was shocked as she heard Bow talk. When you walked away, Glimmer made her presence known to Bow. "We need to talk. Now." Bow practically jumped ten feet in the air when he heard Glimmer talk. He audibly gulped before following Glimmer into the room. "You like me?" Was the first thing Glimmer asked. "Umm... yeah." "Y/n likes me?" "Yeah I found their journal and may have accidentally read one page where they confessed their feelings for you." "You have been blocking y/n from talking to me... why?" "Because you practically followed them around with this lovely dovey look and then she hurt you and I wanted to protect you." "I can protect myself Bow. But they also said, that you were the one to tell them to cut it off?" Bow got extra nervous now, Glimmer was going to be pissed at him and Adora. "Me and Adora may have corner them before breakfast a few weeks ago and told her to stop leading you on." Glimmer was glaring at Bow now. "Leading me on. Leading me on!? I knew that there was a high chance that they would not feel the same way as me and I was and still am fine with that! We were getting so close over the past months and now all that time and effort I put into it is completely erased!" Glimmer took a deep breath before calming down some. "I don't want Adora to talk to me until she apologizes to me for getting in my love life. For you Bow, I am so hurt that you would do that. You knew how important my relationship with y/n was and still is to me. I know that you have a crush me and I am sorry that I don't feel the same but until you find a way to make this all up to me, don't talk to me. I just can't believe you would do something like this."

Bow had tears in his eyes now. "No Glimmer please, I am so sorry. It will never happen again." Glimmer just shook her head before walking to the door of her bedroom. "It should have never happened in the first place. I need to go fix my relationship with y/n and I want you gone by the time I return." Glimmer says and shuts the door as Bow hangs his head in defeat.

Glimmer ran around the castle trying to figure where your new room was, it had been changed shortly after your falling out. When she finally found it, she busted through the door and scared the living daylights out of you. "Glimmer!" You yell in surprise, trying to put your shirt on faster. Glimmer froze a little seeing your toned abs (I wish) that you had gotten from years of sword fighting. You finally get your shirt on, sat on your bed, and put your head down. "So you heard me and Bow in the hallway." Glimmer slowly walks over to you and puts a hand on your shoulder. "Yeah, why didn't you tell me you liked me too." You grab Glimmer's hand off of your shoulder and hold it in your two hands. "Because I'm an abomination. No matter what village I lived in, even the one my grandparents lived in, the second people found out my secret we were shunned or cast out. It's the whole reason my dad is dead, he protected me and my mom and gave us enough time to get away." Glimmer pulls you into a hug, having never seen you so sad before it was the first thing she thought to do. You freeze and tense at the hug for a second before accepting the affection and melting into her embrace. Glimmer pulls away after a little and puts both her hands on your cheeks (I don't know if I made it clear that she is standing in front of you in between your legs). "I am so sorry you had to go through anything like that. I don't think your an abomination. If I can, what is it exactly that makes you unique?" You blush at the term unique, "Well I was born with both reproductive systems." "Does that mean you have a..." You blush heavily and nod your head. Now Glimmer's blushing because she is having some not so pg thoughts. Glimmer shakes her head, knowing it was not the time before making eye contact with you.

"It doesn't matter to me. You could be born with a third eye and I'd still like you." You raise your eyebrow in a questioning look. "You may not believe me now but I will make you realize that what's different about you doesn't make you an abomination but makes you unique." You blush at Glimmer's statement. "Could you give me a chance? I know you rejected me in the training room the other day but now that I know what you were hiding can we give this, us, a shot." You think for a moment, "What if the people find out about my condition? I don't want to drag you through the mud with me if something happens." Glimmer just shakes her head, "Then we deal with it together. Look y/n, I have liked you since I saw you for the first time. Yeah it was more based off of looks but after having you become my personal guard and becoming friends, I think I love you." You look at Glimmer in shock, she loves you? "You don't have to say it back, but all I am asking for is just one chance." You break contact with Glimmer to think. "I... I think I want to try. I am not gonna lie, I've never been in a relationship before and have absolutely no idea what to do." Glimmer is practically a ball of energy and excitement after your response. "That's okay, we can take as much time as you need." You smile at her excitement before pulling her into a hug, shocking Glimmer. When you lean back a little, you notice Glimmer staring at your lips. Your breath hitches and you slowly lean forward. Glimmer smile when she notices you leaning in and meets you half way. When you break the kiss you both have giant smiles on your face.

After sometime of talking and cuddling, you remember that she had caught you and Bow arguing in front of her door. "Hey, what happened between you and Bow?" Glimmer rolls her eyes a little, anger still lingering about the altercation. "Well..."

Colors Ask

Original list can be found here! Though some of these were doctored up a wee bit just so I could make better sense of them.

[RED] What are you most passionate about? How did this passion develope?

My passion has been creating these ideas and worlds and AUs or even just overarching plots to stories I'll probably never write. It started with my voracious habit to read - something I probably do WAY too much of if I'm too be honest. As I read I would theorize and extrapolate from what the story told so far and I guess it became a habit. Now I look at fandoms I like or pairings and suddenly and writing down notes, sketching designs, and looking up references for this whole new Alternate Universe just because I can. I love it!

[ORANGE] How many pieces of fruit do you aim to eat per day? What do you actually manage?

Uh, I don't eat often bub. A meal at McDonalds is enough to fill me up for an entire 24-hour period. I eat fruit when my body craves it which tends to be about once a week to every other week.

[YELLOW] What's your happy place? Real or fictional?

Okay. That 'happy place' idea is utter bullshit. When I get an anxiety/panick attack, I don't go to a tranquil place in my mind and start to feel better. That doesn't help because guess what, an idle mind is the perfect playground for personal demons. Happy Places probably exist but they don't do jackshit once you're already in one and besides, I couldn't never keep my thoughts straight enough in the middle of an attack to make a decision.

[GREEN] Do you prefer indoors or outdoors? What's your favorite flower to smell?

Indoors during winter and late autumn, outdoors the rest of the year. I like to just lay in the grass when the sun is high on a clear, breezy day and bask in the light like a cat. As for flower... hell if I know. A flower is a flower to my brain.

[BLUE] What is your favorite mode of long distance transportation? Have you ever been on a plane? If so, what was it like?

Uh, car. I've only been a plane plane twice (nearly passed right out walling to my seat the first time I was so terrified) but both were utterly boring. The book I brought with I finished before half the trip was over. Though it was fun seeing the clouds, I think they would get boring after so many trips. And besides, in a car trip on my own, I can play whatever music I want however loud I please.

[INDIGO] What's your top three names? Would you ever consider having children?

I actually have a list in Google Drive because my boyfriend and I had started talking about the possibility of having kids sometime in the next five to ten years. Looking at it, it's hard to choose but it follows a pattern of a Latin, Greek, or Irish word that had meaning.

Daughter: it would be Eirini (Greek: Peace), Elpida (Greek: Hope), and Nadur (Irish: Nature).

Son: Anam (Latin: Soul), Rioga (Irish: Royal), and Nostrum (Latin: Ours).

[VIOLET] What's your favorite cake flavour? Are you any good at baking?

Chocolate hands down. If it's chocolate you got me. And yes, I am very good at baking. My two favorite recipes are Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese frosting and Flour-less Chocolate Torte. Both arevcompletely from scratch mind you, frosting and all. So god damned delicious.

[PURPLE] Do you support the Royal Family? Who is your favorite historical figure and why?

Royal Family? Well, I don't know anything about them instead of Royal Family how about President? And no, I do not support a large portion of Trump's decisions mainly to do with his methods and the nuances of those decisions.

Also, I don't really have a favorite hostiorical figure? Or even one I like? To me they're like one big tapestry that details the human race, one which is still continually being added to. They are a part of the whole. Which to put in layman's terms means I like history overall more than any singular person involved.

[PINK] What is your favorite animal? Zoos or farms?

CATS!!! I love house cats, big cats, wild cats, domesticated cats, exotic cats, local cats, cats, cats, cats! But not the musical, lol. But I'd rather see cats in their natural habits. Hells, I'd rather see all animals in their natural habits when considering non-domesticaed animal breeds. I don't like either of them if the purpose is to just visit the animals in them.

[TURQUOISE] Do you like being in the sea? What coastal town is your favorite to visit?

Hm. I was born and raised in the land of ten thousand lakes and have only ever been to the coast twice, the Gulf of Mexico and the Southern Californian coast in specific. I was able to wade into the ocean when I went to the Gulf but I don't think that would be a good choice to base my decision on as I was stung my floating remnants of jellyfish and then didn't risk going in again after that. To make things easier, let's go with large bodies of water in general, to which the answer is a wholesome yes. I love to swim and float in the water.

[MINT] Do you like astrology? Do you consider Pluto a 'real planet'?

Ah. This question. I do occasionally practice witchcraft when I have a good purpose to do so - such as making a charm for a friend, cleansing my home, and other such things. Astrology is part of what I do so yes, I like it in the sense that it helps me work or stronger correspondences. As for Pluto....bot really. Pluto is a dwarf planet by scientific standards. In my practice, there isn't much to tie it to outside of a person's sign related to it. It's hard to work with it because of this as all the other planets (substituting earth with the moon here) have ample correspondences.

[CRIMSON] Have you ever broken and bone before? Do you enjoy going to the dentist?

Hell no to both questions. Next!

[AMBER] Do you have a license to drive? If now, how do you get around?

Yes I do! I have a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsberg edition. My first car, used it be my dad. I've had it for just about two years now and I keep her in tip top shape as much as a possibly can! Just wish I had a proper garage so I could do my own small repairs and work on her.

[LIME] Do you like monkeys? Do you believe the theory of evolution?

No, I don't really care for monkeys. And from a scientific standpoint, yes I do.

[TANGERINE] How tall are you? Do you ever wish you were taller or shorter?

I am literally just a hair below 5'11" and for a woman my age where I live, that is really tall. I match height with most men I've met. But I do sometimes wish I was shorter just because my height and stature paired with my resting bitch face tend to intimidate or slightly scare people when they first meet me. I often have to explain that, "No, I'm not angry, this is just my normal look when I'm not really feeling any specific emotion. You're fine, I swear. I just look like this." And I'm a gentle giant. Think BFG if you know it. I'm the one who will jump in to protect and be a meat shield for someone else but am unable to raise a hand for my own safety. People being scared of me just makes me feel really damn sad and depressed.

[AZURE] Which gender and sexuality do you most identify with?

Uuuuuuh. Hm. Well- that is kinda a hard question? For gender I think the closest I can relate to is genderfliud. I don't have any body dysphoria but I do know there are times I feel way more masculine than feminine. The reverse is just as equally true. And then there are times where I don't feel like I have a specific gender. Sexuality can make this kind of hard to pin down for me. Put it this way. I am panromantic but I find males sexually arousing much more than I do females. And for those curious (unlikely anyone) I'll go by any pronoun. He, she, it, they/them, I really don't give a fuck.

[BEIGE] What is your favorite pop/soda? Do you enjoy alcohol?

P E P S I. Coke is an abomination, something which my boyfriend heavily disagrees with the heathen... I don't....really like to drink often. Alcoholism kind of runs in the family and due to that, I'm more likely to form a codependency on it as well. My family on my Dad's side is heavily German if that helps make more sense. But I do enjoy sweet wines the very few times I allow myself a glass, no more than two.

[CORAL] What is your favorite Disney movie? Who does it better, Disney or Pixar?

You- you can't just ASK me this!! I grew up on Disney! To pick a favorite would be blasphemous of me!!! Also, if that didn't make it clear, Pixar can suck my sack. Disney for the win.

[SAPPHIRE] Do you wear any jewelry? What do you think looks best on other people?

I wear a silver ring on me right middle finger everyday 24/7 and only take it off during my job or when I'm going into any amount of water. I used to wear earrings as well but I lost my silver pair and I can only wear gold or silver. Yes, I have tried to nail polish trick and hypoallergenic. No, I couldn't get either to work with me. My ears would still puss around the non-pure metal earrings. Now I only wear any of my other earrings when I'm doing something special and never for more than a few hours or so.

[GOLD] What do you consider your biggest achievement? When was the last time you won (at) something?

Ah, achievements, things that
