#redacted huxley’s moms

[pycth]

A (slightly belated) Happy Mother’s Day to a pair of the best mamas 💐

Their names are Alba (left) and Carmen (right) De La Cruz <3

I have the concept for doing a post (idk when, but I’ve had it planned out) of some of the Redacted parents, particularly the more known ones, and I guess you could say this is kinda a semi-introduction to that~

[tankwiththeangst]

Happy Mothers Day To….

Marie

Asher’s Mom

Huxley’s Moms

David’s Mom RIP

I really did try to find more moms but they’re either dead, haven’t been spoken about or aren’t deserving of a happy mothers day…

(If I forgot someone tell me)

Also happy Mother’s Day to anyone in the redacted fandom that has kids

(Do any of yall have kids?)

(Added David’s mom, she is mentioned even though she passed away and David is still fond of her)

[mythallia]

found a couple t-shirts for redacted characters

[6-atlas-6]

Damien who never gets any praise for his accomplishments because when being held against his mother's they weren't a big deal

Damien who knows his mother gave up everything for him but can't bring himself to give up everything for her

Damien who met Huxley and pushed down the feeling in his heart because he knew it was "wrong"

Damien who finally accepted himself and feeling happier than he ever has

Damien who saw Huxley and his mom's together and wondered why he could never have that after everything he'd done

Damien who hoped his mother would accept him since he was able to accept himself

Damien who has to decide whether he wants himself to be happy or his mom because he knows he can't have both

Damien who feels guilty for feeling something as simple as happiness.

[sams-darlin]

whatever you do don’t imagine huxley doing haka at damien’s graduation

and definitely don’t imagine his māori mom doing it w him bc his moms came out to dahlia to see damien graduate :]

[running-tweezers]

This morning’s been A Pile Of Suck, but I did just realize that Damien and Huxley probably spent the early parts of this month with Huxley’s moms. And that made me feel a little better.

[pasteloctoz]

Ok we all know Hux is either two side of the spectrum.

Large muscle boi, or big pudgy plus sized boi.

(personally i prefer the ladder)

But either way i can't stop thinking abt him being transmasc ^^

And i feel like hed be overly proud and euphoric abt it too like-

He's just walking around shirtless post top surgery proud of his scars.

[hatwcc]

When you were gone

(Huxley and Angel being Twins AU)

Just a heads up, Angel is male in this Fanfiction (Can also be read here)

Angel was packing his things. He didn’t have a bag big enough to take everything so he took what he thought would be the most important. Clothes, a few pictures, a stuffed animal Huxley had gifted him a week ago, his favorite shoes, and the multiple necklaces his moms had gifted him a few years back. He knew that everything else he would be leaving behind could be easily replaced. 

Well.

Almost everything.

He couldn’t replace his brother, or his moms. And he knew that. He hoped that they would understand his decision, or rather the decision Michael made for the both of them. Angel believed Michael’s words, telling him that they needed to go somewhere else if they wanted a better future for each other. 

And who was Angel to refuse him?

Once Angel finished packing his things, he grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down a note for Huxley. He wanted to write one for his moms too but Michael had called him telling him it was time to go before he could. He placed the note on his bed and started walking out the room. On his way out he accidentally knocked a book down, making him walk out the room faster before Huxley woke up. 

Once he got downstairs, he grabbed his coat and walked out the door to Michaels car. 

“Did you get everything you need?” Michael asked, helping Angel put his bag into the trunk of his car.

“Yeah, I can’t wait to go to dahlia!” Angel walked to the passenger seat of the car and got in while Michael started up his car. 

When they started to pull off, Angel could have sworn he heard Huxley calling out his name, but he was easily distracted when Michael asked him to turn on the radio so they could listen to something on their way to their new home. 

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

Huxley woke up. He had heard a noise coming from his brother's side of the room. When he turned over to look his brother wasn’t there, but in his place was a note. He stretched and walked over to read it. It was around 12, and Huxley knew his brother had a tendency to wake up with the inability to fall asleep again

He liked that Angel left him notes so that he wouldn’t worry about them too much. 

Once he got to the bed he picked up the note. He had thought it would be a note saying they were downstairs, playing on their Nintendo DS because they couldn't sleep again, or getting some late night munchies. They liked to leave notes so he wouldn’t worry that they weren’t in the room, and he in return did the same when it was him. But the note wasn’t what he was expecting to read.

“Dear Huxley,

I am sorry.

 I will be leaving with my boyfriend Michael, he believes it will be best for me to be away from Family and friends if we want to have our future together. 

I love you with all my heart but Michael believes you, and everyone else are a set back. I don’t know if he’s right but I trust his judgment. I don’t think I will be back, I just hope that you all will understand my decision.

I hope you have a wonderful life,

Love, Angel”

He couldn’t believe what he had just read.

He never liked Michael. In fact, Michael was the reason Angel became distant from him and their moms. Michael was about the only person that Huxley could proudly say he hated.

Constantly making him feel bad for hanging out with his family instead of him. 

Constantly making his brother believe that they were talking about him behind his back. He was the reason his brother grew so distant from him and their moms. 

 He didn't automatically going to hating people he didn’t like at all, but knowing that he's got so far into his brother's head to convince him to run away for a “Better future” made his blood boil.

He heard the door open downstairs and he ran. He ran to try and convince him to stay, to make him change their mind. But when he got downstairs he was already pulling off in Michaels car. He screamed at the car to wait, calling out Angels name but the car never stopped.

He stared at the car as it disappeared down the road.

He wanted to cry. He wanted his brother to come back, but he knew he wouldn’t. Michael would make sure of that.

The tears came before he could stop them, and soon he was sitting on the floor crying. His moms found him like that, comforting him before asking him what happened. When he explained to them that his brother was gone they asked where he went.

“I don’t know.” 

“What?” Diana questioned. She thought he would know, Angel told Huxley more things than he told his moms. 

“I-i don’t know mama, he’s gone. He ran off with Michael and I don’t know where they went.”  Huxley started. “He left a note on his bed, he said he might not come back.” He handed the note to his mother, Anna, as he continued to weep. Diana tried her best to comfort him and reassure him that his brother would come home. She was doubting what she said though. She didn’t like lying to her son, but she wanted to make him feel better.

She saw how her son was when he was with Michael, a wall formed between them a while after they started dating. She would constantly question Angel choice of a boyfriend but Angel would constantly brush it off saying, “I could change him” and “He’s changing”. Diana knew that all of what Angel was saying was a lie, but stopped questioning him after seeing that he wouldn’t listen or even consider what she was saying.

Anna gasped and started to tear up too, handing the note to Diana and pulling Huxley into a hug, rubbing his back. Huxley clung to her, sobbing into her shoulder. When Diana finished reading the note, she automatically went to comfort her wife and son. Diana couldn’t believe Michael got that far into Angels head. None of them had expected this to happen, they didn’t even think anything like this could happen ever.

But the truth was there.

Angel was gone.

And there was no guarantee of him coming back.

After that night nothing was the same.

Redacted Characters Who...

[Vaguely angsty edition]

[I've seen a couple people use this kind of format n thought I'd give it a try,, not sure if I did it right.]

✩ Asher who says “I love you” like punctuation in a sentence. Who tells everyone he loves as often as possible just to make sure they know. Who ends every phone call with “I love you” out of habit because you never know when the last time will be.

✩ Lasko who rambles as a way to get information out as quickly as possible without getting interrupted. Who was taught early in life that his input was less important than his mom's. Who always assumes he's annoying people as soon as he opens his mouth.

✩ David who hates saying “goodbye”. Who says “talk to you later” or “see you at [insert date/event]” instead. Who is superstitious that somehow, if he says goodbye, it'll be the last time.

✩ Elliott who automatically assumes he's unwelcome in any given situation. Who hovers around the outskirts of friendly gatherings, only speaking when spoken to. Who thought for years that Aaron felt the same way about him that their parents did.

✩ Milo who gets uncomfortable around alcohol and cigarettes. Who avoids big events where strangers will be drinking. Who always makes sure people get home safe and has the best hangover cures.

✩ Damien who is an overachiever to make up for his “shortcomings”. Who thinks his personality and emotions are inherently negative traits that need to be balanced out with academic success. Who sent his mom test scores after coming out in a last ditch effort to “make it up to her”.

✩ Gavin who knows he'll outlive everyone he cares about. Who knows he'll never love anyone like he loves Freelancer. Who spent so long without any meaningful relationships that he doesn't know what he'll do once he's alone again.

✩ Huxley who loves with every fiber of his being. Who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, even when he knows they don't deserve it. Who changed himself for years because he was scared of being “too much”.

✩ Porter who keeps everyone at arm's length. Who pretends to be cold and emotionless to protect the people he cares about. Who has never known a life of comfort and gentleness and doesn't know how to accept one.

✩ Sam who learned to fight so he could survive. Who got caught up with the wrong crowd after escaping Mont Blanc. Who still dreams about the life he could've had if he'd never gotten involved with Alexis.

✩ Camelopardalis who never feels good enough. Who believes his struggles to deal with the traumatic memories he's taken makes him weak. Who feels guilty for needing a therapist.

✩ Guy who wishes he earned more money to provide for Honey. Who regrets his degree every time a publisher rejects him. Who is so grateful that his partner supports his dream despite all the setbacks.

random redacted audio headcanons pt. 2

━━━━

━━━━

; lasko does in fact own a giant snail. he named it hercules. huxley, dear & freelancer are the only ones who support lasko owning the snail. damien & gavin have been dubbed the ‘hercules hate club’ by the others

; morgan grew up in new orleans but his accent has all but disappeared after he moved to dahlia when his powers manifested as a teen. he speaks fluent louisiana french, as well as cajun english and haitian creole

; geordi is a third generation polish immigrant on his dad’s side! the rest of his family still lives in the new york area, but his dad went out to californina for college and met his mom there, so that’s why he and jadzia (his sister) still live in the dahlia area

; caelum infodumps abt elegy fun facts to his siblings on aria

; lovely got close with bright eyes and freddy after turning, and considers them to be their cousins

; elliott likes giving sunshine hickeys on their neck, high enough where they can’t cover it w the collar of their shirts

; honey gets cold very easily, and in the winter theyll sleep in hoodies (no long pants tho, thats not allowed)

; freelancer loves those star shaped pimple patches. gavin likes to kiss them when freelancer has any on, which always makes them giggle

; angel used to shark people at pool in college to make a quick buck (they’d pretend not to know anything abt the game, make bets, then destroy everyone else playing)

; baaabe was the first in their family to go to college, which put a lot of pressure on their shoulders

; darlin' and marie have bets on who they think will be the first of the current pack generation to have kids

; asher had a crush on marie i am not sorry

; milo has a polaroid pic of sweetheart in his wallet (theres another pic hidden somewhere in there too thats… not suitable for the public)

; also. milo was born in new jersey, moved to washington heights to live with some extended family with marie and colm, and then finally moved to dahlia for colm’s job

Genre: comfort

Thanks @soup-on-a-cob for the amazing idea

Word count: 750

How do you prepare for something like this? How do you compose yourself enough to remember to fucking breath? It wasn't like I hadn't thought about it over and over and over again; I had many sleepless nights contemplating if I was good enough- worthy enough to be blessed in this way. Huxley could tell me a million times I was but was I really? My mother would probably bombard me, verbally abuse me, and ridicule me. I said I didn't care but deep-down words always hurt, even if it takes a little time to realize it. What if she was right. What if I'm not good enough...? 

“Dames...? Babe, I can see you- all those cogs moving in your brain telling you all sorts of things... Don't listen to them.” Huxley started with a soft voice; almost whispering lowering his head to my ear.  I almost shed a tear, why did I even think I could hide that from him? He knew me front and back, all around and inside out. 

“Wh-what do you mean I'm fine..” i stuttered out, throat groggy and it made it sound like i was going to cry which i wasn't, or was i? The truthful answer was yes. And I couldn't quite do anything about it. A singular tear drop fell down my face- well almost down my face. Hux took his hand and wiped it away. 

“Sorry.” I muttered. Taking my sleeve and wiping my eyes. He looked at me with shock and disbelief 

“For what? You didn't do anything wrong..” he avowed slowly raising my chin to see more tears than I remembered being there. I looked him dead in his eyes, which were usually so full of joy and vibrancy and now they were full of distraught and desolation, i blatantly asked him, “Do I deserve this?” I inquired dismally; head pointed up at him but eyes looking down. Avoiding eye contact, out of fear of crying more. 

“Do you deserve this? Of course you do- you deserve the world. You work hard, youre kind, youre smart, and youre so fucking brave- i dont know where id be in life without you..” he sputtered out all those things but why did i still feel so worthless, so disgusting, so pathetic. Fuck i was crying in the parking lot of an adoption center, over the most stupid bullshit- i thought i was anyway. I sighed looking away for fear of disappointing him. He didn't deserve this. All I could muster up the slightest courage to say was “no i'm not” ever so slightly under my breath. 

I'm only all those things because of trauma. I only work hard, because if i dont i won't have anything to live off of. I'm only kind because if i wasn't nobody would like me and i'd be that one mean guy who nobody likes. I'm only smart because anything below one hundred percent means failure. I'm brave because what am I if I'm not..?

Huxley read me like a book. He pulled me closer over the center console for a hug. 

“C’mere.'' Huxley adjusted his seat far enough back that he could pull me on his lap. Me a sobbing mess, i buried my face into the crook of his neck, weeping and whimpering- but he didnt care, he didn't think it was unmanly, or pathetic, or pitiful. He thought it was human.. Like a good man. Like a good dad. 

“It's normal to cry- it's normal to be nervous or scared, or anything that you're feeling. It doesn't mean you're anything but human. Don't let anyone tell you anything different. But it's not okay to beat yourself up over it. Got it?” he insisted softly but sternly. 

“Got it.” I agreed, pulling my head from his neck and kissing his cheek, “thank you..” I muttered against his soft, tan skin. He reciprocated the action, pulling me in by my cheeks, hands on either side of my face. He took in my face close to his, foreheads gracing each other. 

“Anytime. You have an issue you can always come to me. You know that right?” I nodded, sighing softly. 

“Alright then, let's head in there, cmon..” he pulled open the door, setting me down on the pavement. He pulled the keys out of the ignition, and shut the door. Taking my hand with a smile. 

“Cmon. we got a family to start.” 

Allas, A new beginning.

[autisticempathydaemon]

Hello! Are you hyperfixated on RedactedAudio?

Do you want (need) to know who to follow to cultivate your dashboard and feed your gremlin brain good, good boyfriend roleplay content?

Cool, I’ve got you, and I’ve got hyperlinks. Buckle up.

(Note: This is by no means a comprehensive, objective, or complete list. I've only been in the fandom for six months or so. I have biases and favorites and limited time. I hope to update this list periodically, and if you feel I've missed someone, please feel free to reblog with your additions! I just would have loved a guide like this when I got into the fandom back in August and wanted to spread some positivity~!)

Fanfiction:

@angelnoodlesoup: she/her

Sophie is just one of the sweetest David stans that's ever existed who writes, like, the sweetest things about him. Her posts are just going to make you feel warm, fluffy, soft things in your heart area; give into the sweetness. Highlights: Sophie writes this adorable timestamp series of vignettes exploring Davey and Angel's day, but I'm particularly attacked to their David/Angel neighbors to lovers AU~

@arrowfleur

I was actually going to put Max in the visual content portion of this post, because they post delightful Redacted edits on Tiktok (under the same username, highly recommend~), but then they made a uquiz that gave me an existential crisis, so here we are. Highlights: This quiz sent my whole server for a loop and has made me reconsider my relationship with Lovely as a character and kin; it's a great time.

@batch-of-pengwings: robin/bird, she/her

Robin, an absolute sweetheart who makes all the fun ask games that keep the community interconnected and thinking and talking which is just really sweet and fun in the best way. Highlights: The Winter Wonderland game is the one who went around most recently, and it’s so fun to engage with the fandom and discuss who we think is stupid enough to get their tongues stuck on a telephone poll~

@bicyclepainting: they/them

Clover, the fandom's resident Smartass, doing the lord's work and reminding us all how fucking smoochable Aaron is on a regular basis on top of being the coolest astrology nerd don't give them your birth chart you will be perceived /lh Highlights: No one is doing Aaron/Smartass like they are; like, read and absorb the delicious, domestic delight that is them. I also recommend their deep dives into the Redacted bois signs, if you're into that; they're very thorough and fun to read!

@cashandprizes: she/they

My Lexi, my queerplatonic soulmate… She is on a quest to dissect and critique fandom brick by philosophical brick, and I both love her and fear her in equal measure. (That’s a lie, I love her infinitely, more than anything, but she is in fact incredibly intelligent and intimidating.) Highlights: Come for the scathing insights into gray-morality and DD:DNE’s place in fiction, stay for the stripper!Gavin fic they’re working on and their sequel to Lasko’s SexTember audio because she really wanted to make him cry

@ejunkiet: she/her

EJ, the very first of my Redacted loves~ Not only is EJ an endless well of kindness and positivity, but she also writes fucking bomb ass everything. You get angst, you get smut, you get fluff- We stan a multitalented, ace queen. (She also writes really cute CastleAudios fanfiction and original stuff as a cherry on top.) Highlights: EJ writes just some of my favorite David/Angel smut; she captures Angel's little shit nature perfectly. She's also written the sweetest thing of Damien meeting Huxley's moms that I can't get enough of~

@dominimoonbeam: she/her

Domini, truly one of the pillars of the fandom. I don't know what'd we'd be without her fantastic fics or her original novellas or her fantastic, beautiful, rarepair-creating brain. Highlights: God, there's too many to choose from! There's the Sam/Darlin fake dating AU that has us all gripped by the proverbial balls. There's the David/Darlin tattoo shop AU that has me frothing at the mouth because tattoo artists are stinkin hot. That's not even getting into their Cam/William fic, because god, that is such a good rarepair. We love two immortals finding love with one another, we really do. My personal favorite has got to be their Huxley/Darlin piece though, because Darlin gets to be cute and awkward and so, so loved in it.

@frenchiefitzhere: she/her

Frenchie, the fandom's unofficial (but basically official) Marie Greer, not only a gorgeous writer but also the creator of the most fantastical and unique fansongs (who makes original audio content to boot~) Highlights: We would be nowhere as a fandom without the Marie/Colm greer backstory and saga or her audios as the Greer Matriarch herself, but personally? Her Imperium!Lasko/Adam fic kind of changed my life, I'm kind of obsessed with it.

@friendlyfaded: he/him

Miles, the king and professor of the rarepairs! Beware, you will leave his blog wishing for fics for a ship that doesn’t actually exist yet. It’s unavoidable when you read the careful, creative, thoughtful way he considers seemingly silly pairings and makes them gorgeous. Highlights: I recommend his whole rarepairs with prof tag for a snack and his Sweetheart/Lasko/Milo fic for a whole meal~

@gingerbreadmonsters: she/her

Ginger, literally one of the sweetest, friendliest people in the entire Internet. I cannot adequately describe the absolute magnificent poetry of Ginger's prose, so you just have to read it for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Highlights: Ginger's Milo/Sweetheart series is for if you're feeling sweet, and her Vincent/Lovely/Gavin/Freelancer foursome fic is if you're feeling spicy~ Or if you're like me and are longing for an character we'll never see again, you can read her gorgeous, Doctor Who-inspired look in Marcus's mind.

@glassbearclock: she/her

Beans, also known as the best Milo/Sweetheart writer in the game. Their banter is taken from the mouth of god and first name Erik last name Redacted himself, and you could not convince me otherwise. Highlights: I’m a big fan of her sweet, wholesome, Jewish!Milo sick fic, but aYO her Milo/Sweetheart first date fic is so good y’all like goddamn Sweetheart phases through their door and makes Milo faceplant it on accident man that shit is so good

@horrorscoupes: they/he

My beautiful, darling Lotus, my gloriously deranged brother in arms (affectionate). The way they write each and every d(a)emons is just so -chef kiss-. Highlights: I think about their Regulus/Doll fic, like, literally every day, it's just yummy and depraved. Though, for a true taste of genius, for a galaxy brain treat, you've got to read his Shark!Vega/Pet masterpiece.

@k9rage: he/xi

My beloved Calico, our helpful Image Description fairy. He is just so cool and writes the most glorious smut like the world has ever seen. As of publishing, he's writing a Vega/Lasko street racing AU that's gonna be just smoke ash cinder fire hot. Highlights: You need to read his Damien/Gavin waxplay fic; like, this changed my life, I think about it daily. Ooh, AND his Aaron/SmartAss/Gavin threesome fic, because he didn't do all that thinking and imagining for us to not appreciate it. I'm also reccing @calicostorms, his other blog and spotify, so you can get at his stellar Redacted character playlists!

@lovelylonerliterature: 

Lovely, absolute stand-out writer in the fandom! Would you believe they have a whole (as of posting) 95 works for the RedactedASMR fandom on AO3? There’s <2000 fics, which makes Lovely a whole five percent of the fanfiction on their own. That’s wild and so hella cool. Highlights: Literally everything they write. Explore their extremely well done masterlist, it’s beautifully put together, and you’ll find something you love. (I’m particularly fond of the Darlin/Vega fic they wrote based off of one of FriendlyFaded’s posts~)

@romirola: she/her

Dr. Romi, the one and the only and one of the legitimate sweetest goddamn people that has ever existed. You've never met a more polite, darling person in all your days. How did she write all these thousands of words of art while getting a doctorate? God, I wish I knew... if only we could also be so beautiful and wonderful and accomplished. Highlights: You haven't existed until you've read her Milo/Sweetheart Tangled AU; like, what are you doing here? GO. (I also deeply recommend her found family Shaw Pack + Sam fic, if you're looking for something that's still ongoing!)

@sealriously-sealrious: they/them

Chrys who writes- no contest I think we can all agree- the best Huxley that this fandom has ever seen. He is just so well-explored and so multifaceted, just the top-tier himbo content we all need and deserve. Highlights: Huxley and Freelancer at the aquarium, Huxley and Freelancer going camping, sfw, nsfw, whatever you want, we've GOT. (There's even some imperium!Huxley, if you're so inclined >:))

@starlitangels: she/her

Starlit, another absolute powerhouse of the fandom. Just look at this masterlist, I think there’s something here for literally every character. That’s what babes call RANGE. Highlights: The way they explore the Shaw pack is so fun; I’d highly recommend her fic exploring Gabe and his backstory or her fic exploring the Shaw’s future pups~!

@taelonsamada: she/her

A pillar- or should I say fence post?- of the fandom and just an utter peach. Always has a nice word to say and says the best nice words about Sam and Darlin- Highlights: Her nsfw Geordi/Cutie fic holds a special place in my heart (the blindfold? the gag? Be still my beating heart), but you haven’t lived until you’ve read her Shaw-centric Ranch AU~!

@teasandcardigans: she/her

Mads, another lovely creator that could be in either section of this post- that's how talented she is! Not only is she a lovely writer but she also designs the most fun Redacted stickers! Also, she's got the only Redacted fan tiktok that Erik has confirmed seen and liked, can't not mention that it's so cool Highlights: Honestly, there's too many to mention! A really popular of hers is a "What If" echo-esque reimagining of everyone's stories which is so fun, and my personal, biased favorite is her Alexis & Gavin fic hear me OUT-

@the-sugar-crash

Cait, out here doing the most and the best. They’ve run the Redacted Winter Gift Exchange for the past two years, connecting blogs who might have never spoken to each other, inspiring creativity, and spreading holiday cheer~ Highlights: I recommend taking a look-see through the “Redacted 2022 Winter Gift Exchange” tag- much thanks to Cait for making it possible- to consider if you’d like to join next year! Until then, there’s a compilation of their cute headcanon posts to inspire you!

@zozo-01: she/her

Zo, one of the sweetest people in the fandom~ Not only is she a fantastic writer, but she is also one of the friendliest people in the space! Constantly excited and supportive and positive and a joy to follow and befriend. Highlights: Her Sam/Darlin Deity AU is going to change the world and break some hearts, I just know it. (Just like her Alexis and Darlin meeting fic broke mine-) If you're not up to getting your heart broken and just want a friend, I recommend asking her about her Powerpoint of Bollywood scenes that could be Sam/Darlin moments~!

Fanart:

@andr0leda: she/they

Androleda’s art is so gorgeous in that most of them are uncolored or working with a smaller palette, and it just makes those colors stand out and the line work all the more elegant. Highlights: Their wolf!Darlin piece got so popular, and you can see why! It looks like the cover of a really cool YA fantasy novel. Also, her Sam/Darlin art just melts the heart- the gentle hand, the key around the neck-!

@artbykays

Kays, a fantastic artist who plays around with the prettiest, brightest colors and has the prettiest (hottest) fem listeners. They also have super fun Redacted playlists! Highlights: Their Sweetheart, Valentina, is kind of smokin hot, I mean look at her, but also good lord, have you seen their Warden like lock me up anytime hello-

@belovedbow

Bow’s art just makes me so soft and gooey inside I dunno. Their art is so pretty, and they always have the most expressive faces. Not to mention the colors- like, Bow uses the simplest but most emotionally evocative shades of pinks and blues that make me inexplicably feel things, and I love it. Highlights: Literally all their Davey/Angel is the sweetest, but I also have this deep fondness for their imp!FL and Vindemiator pieces, because look at these deep, mournful blues, they’re beautiful!

@cascadiiing: they/them

Atlas creates the most beautiful, squishable, smoochable characters on top of being the most beautiful, squishable, smoochable (platonic) sweetie in existence~ they’re so sweet and friendly on top of being so talented at such a young age, and I would protect them with my life. Highlights: Their Sam kind of makes me so lovesick, I could barf- he’s just that pretty. Their Alexis/Christian art is fanart of my own fic, I’ll grant you, but it’s also so fucking pretty look at the dreamy colors and it MOVES-

@claracatlady

Where would we be without Clara, like honestly- What really stands out about their art is- other than the overwhelming talent- the obvious thought and joy that went into designing the outfits. Only the best from our resident fashion design student! Highlights: literally everything. If I must be specific, the David design pinned to their blog is utterly ahdhkakshdjsk, and I am particularly partial to their Alexis design, because I love my beautiful, possibly complex lady okay-

@fregget-frou : he/they

Mal has the prettiest Listeners; I’m lowkey in love with all of them~ I love the way he does such fluffy, voluminous hair, and I dunno, all their listener OC’s have this fashion model-esque glamour and posture about them that’s really attractive. Highlights: Of their listeners, Mal’s Angel has got to be my favorite. Look at this fluffy-haired cutie! Look at this menace! I would also propose to them, they’re gorgeous!

@gwenifred: she/her

Gwen draws the most gorgeous, swoon-worthy Huxleys and is just a big sweetpea to boot. Her and Pali sharing OC’s and art trades here and on Twitter is a testament to how friendly and sweet the fandom can be! Highlights: Everything she draws is gorgeous, but you haven’t lived until you’ve seen her animation work!

@ice-palace-art: They/It/He/Dae

Darby has some of the most beautiful designs, I can hardly stand it. He creates the most gorgeous, realistically proportioned characters and listeners, and they’re just really smoochable okay let me live- Highlights: It has this one piece of Gavin and Lasko having a sleepover that fills me with the warm fuzzies every time I see it, and their Aaron design fills me with longing I am hopelessly in love with their dad-bodded Aaron.

@itsdaifuku: she/her

Y’all don’t even know the little happy stim storm Fuku’s art sets me on; like, all her art is so cute and joyful and somehow colorful even when it’s in black and white? It just gives the vibe of life and vibrancy constantly? How does she do that? Highlights: Literally, everything she draws is gorgeous and sweet, though her designs for the Shaws and their mates are so S-tier and so cute. (I’m also particularly fond of her designs for Love and Alexis, my favorite characters, I’m biased, sue me)

@mr-laveau: he/they

Laveau, my favorite Milo kinnie~ (Yeah, I said it out loud; I’m callin you out.) Charming, thoughtful, friendly, much more talented than they have any right to be when they’re also so funny and sweet, AND also writing at their other blog @bratty-telepath. You’ve never seen such a double threat. Highlights: Literally, everything he makes. All his designs are colorful and gorgeous and filled to the brim with deliberate, intentional details (though I am incredibly partial to their Alexis and Darlin designs and the parallels he included between them.)

@nais-doodles

Nai is a fucking blessing unto this fandom, and we are not worthy. You haven’t really lived, haven’t experienced all the pure, positive silliness that this hellsite has to offer until you experience Nai’s Redacted Actor AU. It’s pure serotonin, and we’re all here listening to Boyfriend ASMR, I know we could use it. Highlights: Other than said AU posts (which really are so fuckin good), have you seen their drawing of Vincent and Sam’s Monarchal ball? Ooh, and if you go to their tiktok under the same username, you can see some of the really cool dating sim they’re working on!

@nanowatzophina: any pronouns

Na’no is not only a must follow on tumblr, but I also highly recommend their tiktok if you wish to wade through the horrid cesspool of that app (I say with tiktok as one of my top social media sites- we have a codependent relationship) Their art is super cute and expressive, and I get massive gender envy from the way he draws hair and teeth. Highlights: Her aspec Freelancer is just so close to my heart; I adore Avery so deeply. Also, the way they draw imperium!Vega and Pet makes my heart fucking melt and want to jump out my chest- the size difference, my god

@obsessivedino: they/them

Mint’s contribution to the fandom cannot possibly be overstated. Their art style is just so clean and neat and with the cutest expressions, and I love their designs so much, especially for the d(a)emon bois I just ahhhhh Highlights: If you’ve joined the official unofficial Redacted Discord server, you’ve seen their adorable stickers reminding you to kick that ass or hydrate unless you want to die-drate, and you haven’t truly embraced life unless you’ve seen their two-year anniversary masterpiece. Ooh, or pocket caelum!

@palilious: she/her

There is no Redacted fandom or fandom list without Pali, and we’ve all accepted that. Her style is so uniquely and instantaneously recognizable as hers, and everyone adores it, including but not limited to GBA, Nomad, and Cardlin! Highlights: Literally everyone she draws is so pretty, though I have a soft spot for her Vincent or her Nomad drawings if you’re looking for more VAs to listen to!

@pearl-kite: she/they

Kirehn has the most huggable humans and the most awe-inspiring d(a)emons. The way she draws the d(a)emons with constellations worked into the designs and color palettes is just so gorgeous and purposeful and thoughtful. Highlights: Their Vega is so frightening but beautiful, you just can’t look away from him. I’m also particularly in love with their Darlin!

@queendread

Do y’all ever do this thing when you see an ethereally beautiful person and you have no words, all you can do is giggle like a vapid schoolgirl(gn)? That’s me with all of Anna’s paintings: no words, just awe. Highlights: I don’t even really like Gavin, okay, he’s not my type, but lord above, Anna’s Gavin is something else. Their Sam also has those Captain America, boy next door good looks I imagined, it’s like they took him right out of my daydreams.

@ryokoaoi : they/them

Ryo has the absolute cutest, most adorable art style, one can barely handle it! Everything they draw is just so pretty and so colorful and detailed and sweet. (Except the sad things, those are less sweet but gosh they’re still so pretty.) They also have this Magic Swap AU that they design that is so fun to read about! Highlights: Their swapped! Gavin and Avior designs are so fun, I adore them deeply, and if you need something to cheer you up, you can always depend on their DAMN pieces that always include a little invisible Caelum to bring you joy~!

@slushrottweiler: she-they

There is nothing like seeing Slush’s signature blue linework on your dashboard, it’s such a sweet treat- or spicy. There are also very good, very spicy treats. Her blog is a magnificent roulette wheel of blue surprises. Highlights: I love their Sam/Darlin stuff, especially this one because wowee them shoulderblades, but their HuxDami BA piece takes the cake.

@spookybeandoodle

Spooky has my whole heart and wallet and my other heart if I had one I fell in love with their rich color palettes and shading and Alexis right away and had to commission them. Could not recommend enough, they were a treasure to work with~ Highlights: I’m not biased- okay yes I am but not now their Alexis is fuckin smoking hot but also their Cam might be my favorite Cam look at that smile-!

@sri-rachaa: she/her

Rae is such a treasure to this fandom, we hardly deserve her. Her art is so ethereally pretty and delicate? The way she draws hair and noses and silhouettes- her line work is just phenomenal. Everything she creates is just a delight to look at. Highlights: The Southern Siblings AU is a gift, a treasure, a boon that cannot be ignored. I’m also a big fan of her Lovely OC who is ridiculously pretty~

@tankwolf : she/her

June has been posting fanart for only two months, but I’m already absolutely obsessed. I just find her monochrome character portraits so visually engaging and interesting. I would love so badly to be friends with her listener OC’s… Highlights: …or more than friends, because her Sweetheart is something else good lord. I would just love it if June could stop putting the hot people in crop tops please (but also don’t cause whoa)

@terrazaurio

All the fanart Terra creates is so bright and vivid and colorful and expressive, they’re really such a treat to see and experience. I’m a sucker for the colors they use, cause it makes my lizard brain all happy and go “shiny pretty happy.” Highlights: Everything they draw with the Shaw Pack is pure dopamine, like this one of the bois and their mates hanging by the pool. I am particularly attached to this piece from Milo’s HBS, because they’re so fucking in love, your honor, I love them.

@thefablefoxart : she/her

Angelina’s Redacted couple series is one of the truest delights of the fandom; like, they’re so colorful and cute and just adorably designed. I’m also deeply in love with the way she does hair. Everyone just has really fucking good looking hair, and I can’t get over it-Highlights: On top of the aforementioned couple series, I just want to bring attention to this adorable chibi Sam that she drew- it brings me so much serotonin- and their Darlin, Kai who I wish would just give me a shot okay I have a Southern accent too-

If you’re reading all the way here, I hope you found the post helpful and smiled while making your way through it! Or both! The RedactedAudio fandom is truly one of my favorite spaces on the internet; it’s so intimate and creative, and I’ve found some amazing, perfect friends here, so I hope you will too 💖
