*first 4 notes of megalovania* not but what is this im thrown back to 2016

✍️✍️✍️✍️ Julia thoughts:

I seriously need to compose a large post about her misadventures because it is a crime to keep it all in the drafts at this point.

These thoughts are descriptive of trauma, careful.

An encounter like this would shake the life in her.

Battle's aftermath and followed poacher clearings took its toll on her mental health. She began to think that miniature world needed her efforts and although it was true around locals and that particular region of Highlands in general, as it is rather remote and from what I read about it, also its very own thing, the greater diorama had her in its corner and not even on its brightest spot.

While she was busy rescuing beasts with Poppy and trashing remaining camps with Natty, the main spotlight was taken by the Rookwood trial. The whole net of communication was busted, press ran amok, many families suddenly realised they made oopsie-fuckupsies, some of them were purebloods. Fun bit: not the Blacks, the House of Black didn't want to mingle with eh-eh the Continent; they had some too much beef with their French relatives at the time.

Julia's efforts weren't futile, mind, but her perception of them was the cause of her dour mood, nightmares, stay-ups, and it soon became a major concern to Aesop.

At this point of their story, their relationship wasn't yet mentor & mentee but a trust between someone who is lost and someone who knows how to escape. Aesop had a dangerous amount of influence over her, and that he was in her shoes once after Thea, his partner, died, did help to navigate her trauma, although he could only do so much at the sight of the wound that needed time to heal and him to look after it.

No one else knew anything about Julia's family -- something she desperately sought some days -- and her secrets weren't known to many people able to assess the gravity of her situation and give her pointers in life. I.e., what to do with that ancient magic, what's here it for her after the school is over for the summer, what the Ministry expects of her. So basically, at that time, he was a confidante to her.

If Aesop hadn't left to office, he would've been working with trainees and recruits. Moreover, he knows all too well how tempting a thought of casting a spell to resolve a trouble in an augenblick can be. But he would've been able to give feedback and pointers, to explain the scary bits, and to teach how to ignore the wand's urge to cast. Julia, however, was nor a trainee, neither a recruit; she was his charge in some sense and each of his advice she wouldn't be quick to assess or to reflect on it. She would disregard or adopt it with little to no thoughts. He also didn't have many ideas on how to look after a troubled, dependent kid with a responsibility that couldn't be easily detached from her.

Fig had far more experience and patience in such matters. After all, he was a teacher and Aesop was a coach.

It was weirdly common for Julia to end up with so much on her plate, she honestly needed a divine intervention or a thaumaturgy to be removed from so much troubles, many of which weren't even the direct consequences for her own actions. She was usually thrown into something and expected to survive and resolve the issue of someone else's nefarious design existence.

In a sense, she was performing the auror duty, which was admirable, but she wasn't ever compensated for it and was instead taken for granted after certain points in the story.

Aesop feared that would happen and he tried to redirect her attention and it didn't go in vain but, uh. Let's just say, he completely forgot about the certain granian and after its rescue Julia was badly injured by the beast, later placing Aesop on the receiving end of her anger. She thought he was helping her, instead, he deceived her to believe he was a friend, as many people did those days. Yes, she was on the verge of I Did So Much For These People and it halted her well-being.

But Aesop wasn't to give up on her, he has PhD in grief and guilt, no no no, if he dug up that pit, he'd climb it down and retrieve her back to somewhere safe -- which he ended up doing; he became very adamant about You Would Let One Down, You Let Down Every One.

But that's the story for another day and tbh the second part of Julia's 5th year is a certified traumacore, idk why I made it so harsh.

So.

While Julia was cringing backwards and Aesop was an idiot sandwich and everyone in support of Julia trying to butterbeer her to sanity, uh.

Aesop was appalled and enraged after he heard vile rumors people began to spread about Julia. I'm not going into details but due to the press coverage Rookwood case had, some students and then their families soon began to gossip that that muggleborn stole all the praise from Thee True Wizards and Witches that were also involved in the Rookwood's downfall, what a show-off that girl was, where does the Headmaster Black look, what her poor friend Onai makes of such a 'friend', etc etc etc, even Julia's personal life was roasted.

How it ended, briefly: Imelda threw punches, Poppy's gran promised to threw punches in dugbogskin gloves, Garreth said Ron's line from OotP, NATTY DESTROYED EVERY SINGLE RUMOR BITCH, Ominis rumored the gossipers, and Poppy reminded hippogriffs are fierce. 🫵

but as u can imagine, among everything else in the midst of it all, the girl needed a ground check and something to escape to -- and Mara perhaps would've needed to see and settle things for herself (and then probably to set off imelda only to throw spells for punches instead bc how could these people the sheer audacity)

@thriftstorebabayaga it's been months im still trying to find the right words to explain how it all went to hell and back

here's a fun question: if Amara was an NPC in the game, what kind of side quest would she have for the MC??

I’ve put much thought into this actually, so this ask was perfect timing!

Basically, as Amara wouldn’t be a werewolf during the events of the game yet, her plotline doesn’t focus on that one bit. I’ve brought it up vaguely in passing before, but I’d actually like for her to be a hidden boss post Ranrok. Because in my canon, she’s the previous Champion, seemingly MIA during your stint in the tournament. Though various NPCS would make comments about her in passing.

There are several things that irk me about this game, one being the lack of consequences and two, the difficulty. The combat is fun but by a certain point it’s mindless. So, in this hypothetical I want Amara to be an actual test of skill, no ancient magic, no curses, no items, no potions. A straight up duel, with her being at the max level cap (40) and only available to duel at normal or hard difficulty.

You’d find her post-Ranrok, in the clock tower where Lucan stands in the daytime. I’ve actually thought about her dialogue up until this point, but nothings finalized. All I know is she says “Let’s dance.” before the duel begins, all smug about it but surprisingly serious.

If you’ve played Undertale, then the best way I can put it, is that it’s a sans-esq fight, meaning it’s supposed to be hard. It’s supposed to catch the player off guard and make them go “??? wtf was that” right from the beginning. I imagine it employs the rhythm technique from the training dummy, with perfect precision.

If you win, through many valiant attempts, you a really cool outfit, which I of course, haven’t decided on yet. Maybe a dope cloak with all sorts of insignia on it, i’ll sort that out later. She also can be spoken to after that, and summoned as a companion via mods. You’d have her respect after that, though she’d still be adament to keep coming back for more, with slight variations upon repeat attempts, to increase replay value (another thing the base game sorely lacks).

In a hypothetical DLC, where I’d guess every character gets some new questlines, she could teach you a new spell. Something questionable probably. Reducto, is my personal go-to.

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

People are very critical about long COVID/ME/CFS patients not being on diets and it's probably the most fucking annoying ableist thing we have to deal with on a regular basis that people think is totally fine or even helpful.

Preparing homemade food takes a ton of energy. Preparing homemade food to fit a diet takes even more energy and is expensive. Carnivore is one of the most common recommendations and, aside from dieticians practically screaming about how dangerous it is due to the complete lack of vitamins, meat is expensive. Even high protein, low carb diets that aren't as strict still require you to spend quite a bit on protein. Diets like anti-inflammatory, mediterranean, low fodmap, and others that restrict certain types of food are often prohibitively complicated, and many times advice is conflicted on whether things are ok to eat and in what amount. The vast majority of restrictive diets don't come with easy-to-prepare meals unless you have a ton of money to drop on expensive meal kits.

And most importantly, for some of us food is all we have left. Being closed inside for 90% of your life is incredibly boring in a way that's hard to describe. I spend 8-10 hours a day in the same place doing the same things because they're all I can do. Eating something interesting is pretty much the only way I get to add enrichment to my life. Diet is not a cure for us, it only provides mild symptom relief if any. It's just not worth giving up the small sliver of joy that is an "unhealthy" meal when it's not going to actually result in us regaining the ability to do other things that bring us joy.

❌If you give dieting advice on this post I will block you. You're annoying and you're missing the point.❌

Hey! Would you mind if I requested headcanons for fnf Pico x reader who's a punk rocker/metal head? Thanks!

Pico With A Punk Rocker/Metalhead Reader

Hey there! Thanks for the ask!

First time writing for this ginger fucker. Absolutely love this man. Hope you enjoy reading this. ~Blaze/Dawn

Pronouns: Not Mentioned

Warning: ⚠️Mentions Of Shooting/Murder + Smoking⚠️

Requested: Yes/No

Characters: Pico

Proofread: ❌

———————————

- I like to think that Pico is kind of into punk rock music/metalhead music but not by a lot . Obviously he isn’t going to judge someone who does listen to them, he isn't a judgmental person. I just think he prefers more rapper style music than anything else but he has listened to at least a few songs of the genre. That being said, he actually thinks you're really badass. Just everything is badass about you. He thinks your way cooler than him in certain ways but he doesn’t really express it because he’s just not that expressive with his emotions.

- He’s honestly really interested in you. Even if he isn’t that much of a metal head or punk rocker himself he’s interested in your opinions about it. He’d be more than willing to just listen to what you like by slyly asking you questions that will lead into the topic, finding ways to subtly hint about it and just hear you just talk your heart out about your favourite artist. Honestly it does put a smile on his face when seeing you rant about it. Even things you don’t like about it he doesn’t mind.

- In terms of your looks with your style is punk rock or metal head he also thinks it’s pretty cool. Though it isn’t his style he thinks you pull it off really well. I mean he really can’t judge since his outfit is kind of basic but regardless he definitely compliments you on yours in his own way but it’s in a way that you can tell that he actually does mean it and isn’t being sarcastic or anything.

- If he ever hears that someone is making fun of you due to your style you can beat he’ll deal with it. He’ll most likely shoot them on sight not even giving a chance to explain or him confronting them. He doesn’t even think about it nor does he care even if he does think about it. If they talk shit about you, boom! A bullet to the head. He just ignores the surprised looks from everyone else if he did it around other people. But if he does do it in front of you he apologizes for it.

- I don’t know why but I like to imagine just the two of you just having a smoke session while zoning out listening to the music the both of you like. I think it’s actually canon that he smokes weed/marijuana so sometimes he just calls you and asks if he can come over to yours then just brings some weed and takes you to smoke. You two don’t even have a conversation. Sometimes you two are so zooted that you forget to talk. I mean some words are uttered here and there but except for that the only noise that can be heard is the music.

- If there was a concert including a band you liked he'd probably find a way to get you a place to go there. It doesn’t really matter if he’s dirt poor even if he has to steal it from someone he will. He just wants to put a smile on your face. If you offer for him to join he’ll act like he doesn’t have much of a choice and agree but honestly he kind of wants to use this as an excuse to hang out with you. Even if it’s something you like and he isn’t that much of a fan of it.

- Adding on to the previous point, if he finds something like an album or merchandise of a said band you like and he knows you don’t have it he’ll get it for you. Again it doesn’t matter if he’s dirt poor and has to steal it. If you want it he’ll get it. Maybe he’ll listen to the album with you or if you suggest it maybe find matching merchandise the two of you can wear that he only wears when hanging out with you or when the two of you are going to a concert. He is kind of bothered if someone teases him about it but if it’s for you he’ll put up with it.

- Overall, he’s actually really supportive of you even if he doesn’t directly show it. He will find his own way to show that he cares about you.

💎 IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF METAL ORGANIC AU (Sonic AU)

What is Metal Organic AU?

[This is an alternate universe where Metal Sonic became an organic hedgehog due to an accident caused in a fight with Sonic, now he will look for a way to return to "normal" no matter the cost, although in the search he discovers things that will question…]

Extra Clarification: Some drawings are not Canon within the story, at the time of publication the Canon ones will have a pink flower, the NON-Canon ones an orange flower and those belonging to an alternative version of the same AU a clover

🌺 (Canon) 🏵️ (No-Canon) 🍀AV (Alternative version)

📍In what world does the story take place? 📍

The universe is set in a world where the events of the games and the IDW comics are combined, some things are modified but they are not as relevant. Being an alternative universe, it will have its differences, as well as changes that I, the creator, implemented to avoid making a copy and paste of the original material.

📍Will the other robotic versions and other creations of Eggman appear?📍

Some of the robotic versions derived from Metal Sonic himself are not taken into account for the Canon, these versions would be those that appear in the Archie and Fleetway comics. As well as certain minor games, here is a list of all those that are NOT Canon in the main story.

Rocket Metal Sonic ❌

Amalgam (Minecraft) ❌

All robot versions of the Archie and Fleetway comics. ❌

Tails Doll ❌

I will only take as Canon within the AU story certain versions that have appeared in main games and IDW comics. Here is the list of those that ARE Canon in the main story.

Metal Sonic ✅

Neo Metal Sonic ✅

Mecha Sonic Mark 0 (prototype) ✅

Mecha Sonic Mark 1 ✅

Mecha Sonic Mark 2 ✅

Mecha Knuckles ✅

Belle The Tinker ✅

Metal Knuckles (in the future) ✅

Sage (in the future) ✅

Another point to clarify is that not all the robots created by Eggman will have an organic (Mobian) or cyborg version, as is the case with Omega, Sigma, Gemerl, among others.

📍Why do Metal and Sonic share memories?📍

The reason why this is possible is because it dates back to the events of Sonic Forces, where Sonic became a prisoner of Eggman thanks to "Infinite", who did a small experiment without Sonic being aware of it as he kept him asleep with a pill (it was so Sonic wouldn't ask him questions and not bother him). The experiment consisted of transferring part of Sonic's memories to Metal Sonic, this was thanks to a helmet that Master Eggman made, he only managed to transfer only a quarter of Sonic's memories into Metal Sonic's Memory Chip. To clarify at that time Metal was still a robot, the connection was not shown until Metal became organic, is not such a strong connection, example.

If Sonic gets sick from a cold, Metal will not affect him, he will not get sick but he may feel discomfort as if he were sick, such as having certain symptoms, as chills and sneezing.

This connection of Metal with Sonic's memories is something important since, since it is not a very strong connection, it can be on more than one occasion, on the edge of the tightrope and the connection breaking up, which would have catastrophic effects if that happens.

⛈️ What are the Sky Endings and Dark Blue Endings? ⚔️

Both are endings within the AU story that happen simultaneously in different circumstances, the reason they are two endings is to see the perspective of how certain things would have ended, how the simplest decisions end up causing greater good or evil even if they are insignificant.

Apart from the fact that I didn't want to leave things with a single ending, it didn't seem like a good thing to me, what better way to imagine this as those games that have more than one ending. I was inspired by Undertale itself with the routes pacifist and genocidal.

⭐ Sky Blue Ending ⛈️

It is a good ending that Metal can have, but not completely, he is not an ally of Sonic, nor is he a hero as expected even if he is far from his creator, it is a bittersweet ending.

⚔️ Dark Blue Ending 🩸

Being a very bad ending where the world is in complete chaos, one that would describe dark, a worse scenario than Master Eggman taking over the world. Where there is no hope and no future is visualized.

THE OTHER ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF THE AU

The fact that alternative versions exist is something quite open and Canon. Although they are not related to the main story, alternative versions do not always have to belong to the universe of origin, an example of this is Metal Archie, which is a very separate universe because the events of Metal Organic take place but in the world of the Archie comics, which will mean that things can change and happen differently.

🪡 What is different about alternative futures? 🪡

Simple, the events do not happen within the same world, it was previously explained in which world the events of Metal Organic take place.

It is also the case that there are so-called What If? (what Marvel does). These are stories that happen in the same universe but raise the question: what would have happened if such an event happened but in a different way?

📍Why say all this?

It is because the creator likes these things and there may be few What If stories shown from Metal Organic wo the future.

📍The alternative futures (Sky and Dark Blue Ending), how different are they from the What If stories?

In the latter, the story from the beginning can change completely, being something very different from the original, in the finalys Sky and Dark Blue Ending the title itself says so, it is already an ending that concludes the story, but not does completely change the story, but rather the how hes concludes it.

EXTRA NOTES 📝

The interactions of the characters in the answers to the questions asked to the AU do not happen canonically, it is only a hypothetical interaction of how the interaction between certain characters could happen if they met. There are things that can happen canonically but not in the way that can be shown in the answers, nothing is what it seems.

If you are someone who has seen the publications from 2021 to 2022, the drawings such as the information in said publications are no longer completely Canon, the creation of this publication was made to make the information clearer, also to clarify certain points that some others they do not can understand.

Because this is an alternative universe, there may be new characters that are not found in the games and comics, there may be certain inspirations but only that, they will appear at specific times and will not be recurring or central unless the creator says otherwise.

If you expect certain events to focus on Sonic and company, I must inform you that this will not happen, they are not the important focus, they become something secondary that complements the story.

Not all of the creator's drawings (scribbles, drafts, etc.) are canon content, it is simply content that the creator creates for artistic taste, unless it is something canon, the creator will clarify it.

The chronology is based on the creator's own perspective so don't expect it to be the same chronology as the games/comics are theorized to follow or as some fans say.

Any suggestion of what the story should be like or changes to it, with all due respect, will be denied, this story has already been written from start to finish since 2023, if there are changes will that be at the discretion of the creator.

It is possible that the story is aimed at an audience between 17 and over 27 years old, for a better reference a shonen combined with touches of seinen.

It's just a single artist drawing and writing the content of this AU as story, because he draws on the phone there may be errors in the art, so excuse the quality, don't expect him to be totally professional but he does his best, the reason he does all this is out of love for the Sonic franchise, being the product of a fan created for fans.

Fanarts and other things can be done with the AU characters, as long as credits are given and it is not controversial.

The creator can be very forgetful, so if he overlooks something, it is not done on purpose, he will clarify it at the time.

Creator's Note: Some things I show may not make sense but they are there for a reason, I'm someone who likes stories with clues like an RPG, I guess it was from watching a lot of Gravity Fall

Important point: Romance is not something central in this AU, any request for couples will not be taken into account, sorry, the creator already has plans for the couples that will be Canon in the story, although he does not care if people form their own shipps as long as they are not controversial. Additional note: Friendships between men do not always end in Yaoi, the same goes for girls.

📍If anyone ever wondered what the voices of Metal, Lord Neo and Mecha would sound like, here I leave it, it's just a Fan Cast

🌀 Metal Sonic - Voice (Fan Cast)

🌻 Mecha Sonic - Voice (Fan Cast)

⚡Lord Neo - Voice (Fan Cast)

🩸Lionen Meuric - Voice (Fan Cast)

📍Extra note: Any new information to clarify points will be added to this post.

[fawnfictions]

Saw the thing of the monkie trio with reader who falls asleep in random places and.... can I ask for the same but with Red Son?

Platonic is fine but..... maybe also a lil bit romantic? :3

sleepier findings

— red son x gn!reader

ofc ofc ;P

i'm actually happy you requested red boy for this, this'll be fun hehe

;; romantic, fluff, no warnings.

RED SON

- the first time he finds you sleeping in some weird location, he sputters and his brain short circuits.

- what... what are you doing, sleeping in a GUTTER?

- he is IMMEDIATELY picking you up and taking you to either his house, or yours.

- don't worry, if yours is closer, he has a spare key ;))

- he's very concerned about your wellbeing, though; similarly to MK, he'll be worried that you aren't sleeping properly, or that you lack the proper vitamins that you need.

- prepare to be bombarded with questioning when you wake up.

- listen,, he just wants to be certain that you're okay <//3

- will scold you if you're sleeping somewhere public,, like if he ACTUALLY found you in a mf'ing gutter, he'd lose his temper a little, "You could've fallen into the Spider Queen's lair! And you're clothes are all dirty—you don't know what's touched the gutter!"

- after a while, he'll start keeping a closer eye on you, and checking up on you in case you've put yourself in danger.

- if you fall asleep in bad places a little too many times, he'll make you promise to be more careful.

- but, the times he finds you in safer places, like in Pigsy's Noodles or in his own house, and he's a lot calmer about it.

- call him weird for it, but he likes to stare at you as you sleep; you look so peaceful, and he adores the little expressions you unconsciously make.

- if he's been in his workshop all day, where you've kept him company off to the side, and he turns around about to call it quits for the evening and you're asleep?

- he might give in to the possibility of cuddles.

- ONLY at times like these, though; he's got a reputation to keep up as the Demon Bull King's son, and he can't be caught slacking like that ❌❌

- either way, he'll sneak a kiss on your head, though.

- if anyone catches him doing it and points it out, he'll fluster SO BADLY and nearly drop you.

- cue him yelling, causing you to stir, and shutting himself up in fear of waking you.

- he will go off at anyone who dares to even threaten waking you up, you need your sleep? you're GETTING your sleep >:(

- he'd be a great cuddle buddy, though.

- but he's reluctant to—Red Son hesitates with PDA in general, he's going to be very unsure about any sort of cuddling.

- it's easier to convince him if he's been busy all day, or if he was particularly annoyed about something/someone.

- he's very warm, given that he's a fire demon, and it is WONDERFUL for winter, horrible for summer.

- you'll wake up hot and sweaty in the worst ways, but you'll fall asleep like a baby.

With a sigh and a wipe to his forehead to rid it of a buildup of sweat, Red Son admired his work. He had spent all day tinkering in his workshop, busy on producing a vehicle to counter the Monkey King's little successor.

As much as he cherished inventing as a hobby and a skill, without you to keep him company, he'd definitely be far from completing it; easily growing bored when working on the same part for hours. Your wilful chattering and teases were keeping him sane, albeit that he constantly comments that it 'distracts' him.

Speaking of you, he realised that you hadn't spoken a word for the past ten minutes. Whilst you may have simply gotten distracted by another of his creations, he knew you well-enough to be doubting the chances of him turning around to you being anything but conscious.

And, as expected, he whipped his head around from where his back was facing you, attention caught on closed eyes and light breaths.

Lo and behold, your body—on the floor, curled up around the leg of a chair that he kept down here on the, not unusual, occasions that you would join him. The position didn't seem particularly... Uncomfortable, as your head was supported by the cushioned seat of the chair, but Red Son couldn't imagine that the concrete floor would be as soft.

Whilst tutting at your state, he stepped towards you. Leaning down, Red Son wrapped his arms under your legs and across your back, supporting your head in the crook of his neck. He couldn't lie; he loved carrying you, it boosted his ego to hold you like the innocent mortal you were.

He briefly gave a light kiss to your forehead, smiling down at your peaceful expression and holding back coos at the quiet snores you let out. He continued to the door, pushing in open with his foot and electing to finish up and close it later on. He had more pressing matters to attend to, at the moment: you.

You, who had softened his heart enough to lead to him carrying you towards his own bedroom with the intent of sneaking a cuddle in with you. A light blush dusted his cheeks, somewhat embarrassed at the prospect of snuggling to you whilst you were already asleep.

It wasn't as if you hadn't consented to it; countless times had you awoken, playfully scolding Red Son for not cuddling up to you to 'keep you warm', or to 'protect you from the bed bugs'.

Therefore, as he gently placed you atop his mattress, stealing another kiss from your forehead, he moved to the opposite side and pushed himself close to you. Red Son pulled the blanket up, ensuring the both of you were equally covered and that you seemed comfortable enough.

His face only grew hotter; carefully gathering you in his arms. Unconsciously, you grasped his shirt in your sleep, shortening the distance between your bodies until he was pressed up against you. He barely held himself back from stuttering at you.

Accepting his fate, albeit never planning on rejecting it, Red Son wrapped his arm over your side and felt you nuzzle your face into his chest. The exhaustion he felt from his hard work, matched with the peacefulness you seemed to radiate, he, too, found himself drifting to sleep. With red cheeks and a genuine lift of his lips, Red Son slipped out of consciousness with you in his arms.

[tonydaddingham]

i know loads of other people have written and theorised about this, and there was an amazing post about how someone knew the actual owner of the bentley and how things had to get swapped around*, but for the sake of my own bloody sanity i needed to go through all the bentley snippets we see re: seat colours, interior door panel colours, and the bond transfers because otherwise it was going to drive me loopy-

*if anyone has a link for this post, please wing it over to me and i will link, it was really interesting!!!

let's start with the 1941 and 1967 flashbacks where we see the bentley: ✅ brown seats ✅ brown panels (as far as i can tell) ✅ bullet decal (1967):

then let's move to s1. tbh, i've only done this for the sake of full disclosure, but as far as i can tell, ✅ brown seats ✅ brown panels ✅ bullet decal (no pics but fairly content that they're there in all scenes):

*correction, apologies! middle right should be ep4!

and then, post bentley going up like kindling, and being resurrected by adam, we can see what looks to be black seats and, i'd hazard is an open window (given the lack of shimmer/reflection compared to the window on its left) - see we can't confirm the bullet decals. however - and mainly because it doesnt fit the pattern im about to lay out - this image is very zoomed in, and lighting quality isn't quite reliable. so personally, im considering this as inconclusive:

so now let's move onto s2. eps 1 and 2 are fairly straightforward, ✅ brown seats ✅ brown panels ✅ bullet decal:

episode 1: (3rd and 4th images are before and after the beelzebub interaction)

episode 2:

but here's where things get interesting (stating the obvious, i know that everyone knows this), but given that this is when aziraphale takes the bentley - after the very poignant "our car' discussion - we can see the following:

setting off from soho: ✅ brown seats ✅ bullet decal ❓brown panels, but likely

on the way to edinburgh: ❌ black seats ✅ bullet decal ❌ black panels

arrival in edinburgh: ❌ black seats ✅ bullet decal ❌ black panels

okay, well, he changed the bodywork and hubcaps too, so this makes sense. but black? for aziraphale? feels somewhat like it's a compromise; he's gone ostentatious on the outside, literally the colour of crowley's eyes, but red leather for the interior... is a little much. so he compromises - keeps the decals (to honour his knight in turtleneck armour), but changes the inside to a cool, suave black. very 007.

but then we go to ep4, and specifically when aziraphale is accosted by shax. now, clear point to remember - shax has to have permission to enter, and compared to ep2 when she asks but materialises inside anyway, she now waits for aziraphale to acquiesce. this is the difference between a demon's car, and a demon-and-angel-couple-who-arent-quite-yet-a-couple-but-thats-just-semantics' car. by this point, crowley has accepted, agreed, that it is their car.

hitchhiker: ❌ black seats ✅ bullet decal ❌ black panels

return to soho: ❌ black seats ✅ bullet decal ❌ black panels

ep5 carries on in much the same way as the end of ep4 - crowley has not changed anything since edinburgh, ❌ black seats ✅ bullet decal ❌ black panels (not pictured, but can be seen in the same bit as the first pic):

and then ep6, beloved. again, nothing has changed. crowley's window is, however, rolled down in the departure scene, so the decal can't be accounted for. that being said, im fairly sure we can be certain it's there (and i have a thought about why it's rolled down but tbh it's so arbitrary that it's barely worth mentioning imo). in any case, ❌ black seats ❓ bullet decal ❌ black panels:

now i know there's the whole separate thing about the exterior changing from light grey to dark grey/black, but tbh i think that is going to be down to the continuity issue with the original bentley used in s1. as for neil's answers on his asks, here and here... look. could be something of nothing, but i don't think personally it's a wider conspiracy; i think it could be just be either that yeah, maybe some of my colour assignments in the above screenshots are wrong, or he's doing his parent-teacher-writing thing of what do you think?

maybe not, maybe it was a continuity issue, and we just have to apply hc to this to get an explanation.

well, mine is just simply that it's not a nefarious issue or mucking about with time etc... i think crowley just accepted aziraphale's ownership, and whilst he drew the line at yellow bodywork (the respectable choice imo, tbh), he kept everything else.

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

When the most softhearted character is suddenly revealed to be the most dangerous because someone they love has just been threatened/hurt. 💯👀👌🏻 Also when a character hasn't been treated well, so they have low expectations for how they expect someone new in their life to treat them, and then they're surprised and a little confused when that person treats them the way they deserve to be treated. Especially in the case of a character who's been subjected to violence, and now finally someone is being gentle with them. That stuff takes me OUT.

🤡 What’s a line, scene, or exchange you’ve written that made you laugh?

“Don’t sweat it. I know you have good intentions.” Glancing at H.R., [Cisco] added a little reluctantly, “Both of you.” H.R. grinned and gave a little self-satisfied flourish. “The road to hell isn’t gonna pave itself,” he said cheerily.

(from A Little Help from Your Friends)

H.R. was a blast to write for in general, but this line in particular I just really love.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

I'm good at using continuity to my advantage. A lot of the time that means subtly referencing something that happened earlier (either in the source material or my own writing), and using that earlier event to determine how a character is going to react to something similar in the present, but it's also really handy with foreshadowing and creating running gags.

🍦 What’s the sweetest fic you’ve created so far?

Probably Nights That Never End. Granted, it's not finished yet, but the one chapter I have posted is loaded with fluff, there's just a lot of angst mixed in with it (and there's plenty more of both in the chapters to come).

❌ What’s a trope you will never write?

Any trope that specifically belongs to smut/fetish/kink categories, but that's a given because all that stuff squicks me out. I don't see myself writing anything gender bending either, just because it holds no interest for me and I don't really see the point in it. Also, cheating. Cheating can be a thing that happens in a story, and It Is Going To Be Frowned Upon, but I'm not going to write a full blown cheating storyline unless A) the cheater is a character I don't like who already did, or at least would, cheat in canon, and B) the POV character is the one who was cheated on, and They Are Breaking Up. I won't write a cheating storyline for any of my ships, and I won't turn a character who wouldn't cheat into someone who would just to give their partner a reason to break up with them.

[purplehairedwonder]

If you're still taking these, 🤡 😈 🛒 ✅ 💖

Yes, definitely!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

I don't think I'm a very good comedy writer, but the scene at the end of "A New Heart" about Ikkaku's recruitment features a silly ending that makes me smile: Ikkaku is running toward the Tang to leave with the Hearts while being chased by her parents and some other townspeople before Law uses his devil fruit to bring her onboard while causing a pileup of the people chasing her. Definitely a bit sillier than I usually write!

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I can't say I'm specifically being playfully mean to the readers and more just mean to the characters, but the scene that comes to mind is the one in "Lead Me Back to Suffering" where Doflamingo uses a string clone of Luffy to make Law think he's being rescued before killing the clone in front of him. I apologized for that chapter in the author's note XD

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Definitely Law whump and the twisted, toxic, codependent relationship between Law and Doflamingo. Absolutely obsessed, haha.

I also have a few headcanons and repeated scenes that I've included in several fics; one is Law and Luffy sitting on the roof of Kyros's cabin after Dressrosa stargazing together. I also headcanon that Law started his coin collection with some coins from Flevance that he had in his pocket the night the city fell and have included that idea in several fics.

✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?

Hm. I'm sure there are certain turns of phrase that I use quite a bit, though I couldn't say what they are off the top of my head. I'd be curious if anyone else has noticed anything that sticks out, though.

💖 What made you start writing?

I couldn't even say. It's just in my blood, I suppose. I've wanted to be a writer since I was a tiny little bookworm, and I've been writing my own stories since elementary school--and probably before, tbh. I've been writing fic since I was like 13. I come from a very literary family, though I'm the only creative writer of the bunch.

Thanks for the ask!

For the fic writer emoji ask: 👀🦅❌

Not for the ask: 💖🌸🕶

so some uniqlo stores allow custom embroidery on items from uniqlo, and i definitely considered getting the heihua flower and black glasses on my bag. i got two little cats instead, but one of them is pink, so?

from these fic writer asks

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

i am trying this year to do more seasonal fics, because that's something i love, and so i have a period-accurate 1980s AU based on the film The Lost Boys for halloween. hei xiazi is a vampire and carnie, xiao hua wears high-waisted jeans and pastel graphic button up shirts, and wu xie has no idea for half of the AU that vampires exist.

in terms of canon-aligned fic, i have a fic dealing with xiao hua, transness, dysphoria, and cohen's 7 monster theses, but the fic itself is very draining in terms of focus to make the intensity of emotional expression land, so it's slow-going.

and in terms of a different fandom, i am slowly sliding into mysterious lotus casebook, and i have about 3 fic ideas already, i just have to actually finish the show first.

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

i have no written outlines for a fic, ever. often, the fic you see is a first draft because i often redraft at the point of writing, and because i do not have any beta (i have sensitivity readers and friends who give second opinions, but no beta. all the sins and errors in my fic are my fault).

for example, wicked and loving lies was a first draft written entirely in 48 hours bar for one passage which had been picked over and sat in a google doc for months. the centre of every poem was written in one sitting of four hours long. it risks a lot of issues with cinnamon words (or where the same word shows up too many times for my liking) and also is why there are often slight edits later on when i can sit and reread it.

even for long multi-chap fics, the no-written-outlines remains the same. for aus, all the details of worldbuilding are also from memory. all the callbacks and extended metaphors are also purely memorised, and not just for fic, but across whole extended canon universes (if you look, the heihua extended universe all interconnects and calls back to each other thematically and with certain metaphors and phrases). if i ever die midway through a fic, you're all screwed, because there won't be any evidence but for my discord group chats about how it was meant to end.

❌ What’s a trope you will never write?

SEE, I TRY NEVER TO SAY NEVER, BECAUSE IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE ME IN THE ASS. and often i take tropes i dislike the longstanding interpretation of and try and reinvent them, so while there are tropes i hate to read personally, i can't say i wouldn't ever try and write them. in fact, i've often written things precisely because of how i'm not sure if i can make it work, because i like the challenge.

.....wait, can i say disability as cheap tragedy porn? because every time i see disability done as cheap tragedy porn, i have the emotional equivalent of hearing a nuclear warning strike siren.

listen, i'm literally lying on my bed right now staring at the ceiling trying to contemplate tropes i wouldn't write. sorry, i think you have stumped me with this one, so well done.

[spanishrose2002]

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

I don’t like things that involve children/underage people engaging in inappropriate behavior. I also don’t like non-consensual stuff, and if I do it because of a certain reason in a fic, I warn heavily for it.  I just prefer not to have those kinds of things in my stories, so I certainly wouldn’t write them as tropes or anything like that.   💲 Would you ever open commissions? I certainly would if someone wanted something original.  However, I mostly write fanfiction, so that means that I cannot do that.  It’s illegal and unethical.  I know some fanfic writers do it and have done it, in the past, but it really threatens the whole community, and I wouldn’t do that.   🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories? I spend way too much time researching for some fics.  I know more about some topics, now, than I ever really need to know--like the mating of cows. 🏆 What's your most popular fic? I could be wrong, but I would say it’s probably Broken Mirrors.  I think that’s my only really popular fic and, to be honest, it has long since kind of lost it’s charm for the community.  It’s just old hat, at this point.  It had its day, though. 🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic? I adore holiday fics.  I write them year ‘round and for every ship that I write.  I would love to write more of them.  I am a fall and winter holiday fic person. Which one is my favorite?  That’s probably impossible to say.  I’ve written quite a few that I love for different reasons.  I’d say that they all have their charm, at least for me. 🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which? I mean, at this point, the running joke for anyone who reads several of my fics is when is the baby coming in.  That one is funny, too, because I have been harassed so much, in the past, for writing pregnancy/baby/kid fics that it almost became an act of rebellion to accept that I like what I like, and I’m going to do what I want.   My fics are like King cakes.  Where’s the baby?  You know it’s in there. 🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories? I would adore any art that my fics inspired someone to create!   📈 How many fics do you have? Currently, I have 421.  There are a few one shots that I hope to write, maybe even today.  Several of my fics are 400,000 to 500,000 words, and a great deal of them are at least 100,000 to 200,000 words. 🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants? I do a little of both. 👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please! Does that mean not yet started?  I don’t have any in the can right now that aren’t in progress.  I can tell you about Rupture, which is the latest one.  It’s going to be a lovely little fantasy-esque adventure full of warmth, found family, friends, and humor.   🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip? “Fine,” he said.  “But—You hold my hand.  If we get snatched into some other world, or universe, or whatever, I’ma end up in the same damn place as you.” 

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon? I’d rather nobody I know irl see any of my fics unless I invite them to do so.   ✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to? Family themes, friend themes, babies and children, redemption, overcoming trauma, acceptance and love...etc.   📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career? I wish I could!  (Fiction writing, that is.  I chose to step away from the non-fiction writing that could have been part of my career.) ⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter? If I’m inspired (and especially if someone is hyping me up), I can realistically do about 8,000 to 10,000 words of fic on a weekend day.   🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)? I struggle with A LOT!  I really struggle with smut and action, but there’s a lot that I’m just not very good at writing.  LOL  I still do it, though, because it amuses me.   💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart? The Roses Still Grow in Georgia and Winter, even though they have their heartwarming moments, too.   

[justfor2am]

hi my interview has been rescheduled once again because of course it is ^_^ nothing wants me to be interviewed ig ^_^ anyways 🥺😈🛒🎢✨💋🎶⛔🍦🌞💖💌❌🧐🦅👀���💞🧠🤩🤯💔🤭 for the fanfic writer asks or wtevr they're called??? didn't realize until just now u even rbed an ask game so apologies 🫡 side note the 💥 emoji is so fun . its just like 💥💥💥💥💥 yk??? also feel free to skip any of those i just threw down the ones i think would be most interesting but as usual there r many

i am manifesting an interview AND a job for u, get that bag king!!!

also waough ty for giving me an excuse to talk abt my blorbos 🥺🥺🥺

and ya 💥 feels like ur comboing someone really well in a fighting game, like 💥💥💥 K.O. yanno?

this is def gonna be a long one tho soooo the rest underneath the cut this goes lmao

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Anything having to do with touch. I'm a sucker for physical gestures, so anything that involves details like brushing someone's hair out of their eyes, hooking a tentative pinky around someone else's hand, it doesn't need to be overt to get me in my feels every single time.

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Yes! I threatened a major character death in [though I've closed my eyes, I know who you pretend I am] late in the final (12th) chapter lmao

I knew that being that late into the fic most people would've forgotten what the specific tags were and even less would be willing to scrolling all the way back up to check lol

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Like I said in the first Q, touch is a big thing for me. Eyes and anything having to do with vision also tends to be a big one, if you read a fic with both of those elements there's a decent chance I wrote it.

As far as overarching things, I prefer to write scenery over dialogue, and put a heavy emphasis on describing what the characters are feeling/thinking over having them verbally express it.

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

I wanna say my [detroit become human au] has shit hit the fan pretty quickly. The fic opens with the conflict and it takes a few chapters for the reader to get any context, but once you've got it, going back to the start just makes your heart break.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

booo hiss grrr

no but actually uhhhhhh... I will say that when I've got a good idea rattling around in my head, I can churn out a fic for that premise very quickly. to the point that i accidentally wrote three chapters for one of my fics all within a day, because I'm unhinged like that

💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?

LOVE but only if they're done right. I appreciate first kiss fics that aren't perfect or a little clumsy, but also i'm a sucker for those picture perfect moments too

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

YA i do my best writing with some music on. I've been listening to a mix of things lately (Love from the Other Side by FOB, that new Shakira collab, and Flowers by Miley Cyrus) but i've also been looping my 14+ hour long exo playlist

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

I had a sculk!Grian fic from like, I wanna say October last year that I was 1k words into that just. Disappeared. No clue where it went or how I lost but, but in hindsight, it wasn't my best work.

I'm still a bit sad to have lost it, but considerably more proud of the things I've written since.

🍦 What’s the sweetest fic you’ve created so far?

I have come to the realization that I am horrible at writing fluff without some level of conflict within the fic. Whoops! Closest I've got is a [scarian sick fic] that I wrote recently lmao

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

Either while I'm at work when it's dead during the day time, or frantically at like, 11 o'clock p.m., there is no in between.

💖 What made you start writing?

Wayyyyy back when I was 12/13 I used to be big into rp, and I came into the realization that the rps I was doing could just as easily be formatting into fics.

None of those fics were ever published, but getting to learn how to edit and rewrite scenes that had been planned out with another person made me want to start creating stories of my own.

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

Love love LOVE comments and feedback. Literally getting a comment is like a serotonin boost directly into my veins to write more, esp comments that'll point out specific scenes or moments/lines they liked.

someone pointed out that they liked the way I described fresh hickeys like blooming violets and I haven't been able to stop thinking about that comment ever since.

❌ What’s a trope you will never write?

That's a good question.... I'm trying to think of one that isn't like, a blatantly obvious icky trope.

I'm not sure if it counts as a trope, but Y/N fics. Not only are their primary function to act as fan service, they end up coming off very RPF to me which I'm not a fan of.

Oh, also RPF. Any fic i write has to do 100% with the characters those people portray, not the real person.

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

Depends on the fic! For my [actor au] I've just been kinda flying by the seat of my pants, doing the occasional googling but not much. The opposite of this would be my [detroit become human au] where I literally rewatched jacksepticeye's d:bh playthrough and scoured wikis to make sure i'm describing androids correctly.

tl;dr: generally no, only as needed unless I get fixated on it.

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Fly by the seat of my pants, but i'm trying to change this! For my multi-chaptered fics I've started actually planning out future events, and even for this one big one shot im working on, i've got an outline in the works.

...though generally, i don't plan. it's a bad habit.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

GLADLY so speaking of that big one shot, it's going to be a boatem superhero au, i've started outlining it and getting my concepts together, i'm very excited for it!

here's a snippet:

It was fairly obvious that the Mayor had pulled some strings to get Scar to this stage; once a nobody vigilante who seemed more preoccupied with dazzling the camera over saving lives, Scar's public image had taken a hard left turn during the past few campaigning months.

The situation was more of an open secret— it was all too convenient for Scar, who practically lived in the Mayor's pocket, to be joining the city's most elite crime-fighting team.

it's VERY early in development so don't expect this one for a while tho

🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

I'd say figure out your character's voice is a big one. It's easy to fall into fanon tropes and while they're fun, they can cause lots of warping in the way you write your own fics, which might make them sound off.

So look out for fanon tropes! Personally I've run into people who make Scar very sweet and innocent, to the point of dusting his hands clean of blame. It's an easy hole to fall into, and no one should fault a writer for falling into tropes.

There's a line to walk, and I find that watching content relating to that character really helps shaping that "inner voice".

Also, get someone to proof read your work who is willing to point out your mistakes. Editing/betaing is never meant to be a personal attack, but rather to make sure that the fic you present to the rest of the world is cohesive and clear.

💞 Who’s your comfort character?

Scar! He just gets me fr. He's one of my favorite guys to write because of how versatile and how much variety he has. He could be a silly salesman one minute, and a quietly scary assassin the next. Whatever the bit or joke is, he fully commits to it, often to the detriment of himself, but god does it make for good content.

Also he has a really good narration voice ok

🧠 Pick a character, and I’ll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

(ty for the speedy discord reply lol)

Grian! my darling baby boy who has every mental illness ever

no but actually, i'd say my favorite grian head canon is anything having to do with him being an alchemist. i want that man brewing potions, getting blown up, and curing all his friends ailments with the most illegal looking brew you've ever seen in your life.

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

Grian, mostly because he comes easiest to me! There's such a sense of endless potential when I get ready to write him, and like, idk what it is, but longing too?

We've been getting it pretty heavy w/ his whole "I Miss Mumbo" campaign but like, grian to me feels like someone who's always thinking about reaching a hand out, and pulls it back at the last second. It's very relatable.

🤯 What’s a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

Weirdly enough, it's fluff. I always feel compelled to write stories with some level of conflict or it's not "satisfying" to me. I love reading the genre, but for whatever reason when I write it, I get in my head about if it's "good enough" or not without conflict. I'm working on that lol

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

EDIT: so i misread this, you get fic recs as a bonus. my proper answer is: [my bad ending fae two shot], it will shatter you as it did me </3

i'm going to give two because i do what i want. the first being [It's Only Logical by TSTrashCaptain] which is a sanders sides fic that to this day, i can only dream of writing something so good. tw for themes of abuse and nsfw at times, but god. just reading the title again puts a knot in my heart in the best way possible.

now, this fic. [your heart rots in my hands by thepigeoncat]. this fic slaughtered me the first time i read it. i left a long ass comment on it. tw for major character death, but this is the perfect last life scarian fic.

it's beautiful, and tragic, and it makes me feel as though the world has truly ended /pos. please go read it.

🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

my favorite tag for when i post unbetaed work is "no beta we die like scar to the boatem hole"

as far as a REAL tag, hurt/comfort >:))

and my favorite one off funny tag is "i cannot emphasis to you enough how much blood is in this fic"

[fanfic writer emoji asks!]

[tokuvivor]

💔👀❌ For the fanfic ask game!

💔Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

Not really to an extreme. But indirectly speaking, I’ll say New Year’s Day (damn, I think this is the first time I’ve talked about this one!)

So, kinda spoilers, but in the episode Christmas, Dash, recognizing Lily as the girl he met at the party, sees her kissing another guy. After accidentally finding out that Boomer was a double agent over the course of the notebook game behind his back, he lashed out at him. Given the intended primary plotline of New Year’s Eve, Dash and Boomer didn’t really get much of a moment to reconcile their differences, since Dash’s main objective in the episode was to go all out for Lily, with a little help from his friends. And I did allude to those two episodes a bit in this story, so technically speaking, revisiting those memories, of our main characters’ lowest points, was kinda crushing, so I feel that the two guys deserved some kinda moment where they talked things out, with Dash apologizing for taking out his frustrations out on Boomer on Christmas, and Boomer explaining his reasoning for hanging out with their friends while Dash went AWOL for six days.

So to summarize, the fic itself isn’t heartbreaking, but a few key moments in the last two episodes that inspire it kinda are.

👀Tell me about an up and coming WIP, please!

Well, the story I’m currently working (honestly the only WIP I have going) is a story revolving around the 10 kids (yes, May and June included) having a game night. This story will be set a few years in the future, hence why certain aspects are in the story that wouldn’t really be present if they were the age they were during the show.

❌What’s a trope you will never write?

I’ll say something along the lines of overly kinky stuff like BDSM. Nuff said.

(Oh, and in case you were wondering, this guy is legendary baseball fanatic Michael “Nuf Ced” McGreevy.)

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.  ❌ What's a trope you will never write?

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Hmm… Does angst count as an answer? lol But seriously, definitely sadness/sorrow is a common theme throughout — *looks at all my fics I’ve posted so far* — yeah, all of my fics that are out there right now, even if it isn’t the main point or focus of all of them, it is still a common thread and important element in them. 

Another common thing I like to use in fics is what I call the “callback line” — a line that appears at or near the beginning of a fic or chapter, that seems innocuous or has one meaning, but will later have another, more powerful and/or darker meaning and spin on it than initially seemed the case. Of course, what this line is and how many there are will vary greatly depending on the fic and how long it is. I don’t think I’ve done it in every fic, but it is something I like to do in a lot of them.

Also. Sunsets and sunrises. Just sunsets and sunrises. Because yes. Opening with cold air has also always been an unintentional common thread between a lot of fics, I guess, though that might not be completely evident from just the ones I’ve shared online.

Loss and failure, and/or fear of loss and failure also basically applies in some shape or form as a theme in all of the ones I’ve posted online, at least.

You know, I’ve never thought about most of this that much until now. lol Interesting to consider. I’m sure there are other things, too, but at the moment that’s all I can come up with.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

Uhhhh, I don’t really like to box myself in and discount anything, to be honest. lol A lot of the things I write today are things I once would’ve said I would never write, so… Plus, I’m not too familiar on — nor do I really care — what all is considered a trope. 

Still, if I have to pick something I’ll never write —  I’m not sure if this counts as a trope, but I don’t ever imagine myself intentionally writing for certain kinds of kinks like, idk, golden showers or something. I also don’t think I’ll ever write a joke fic, myself; I can’t see myself wasting my time and energy on creating whole joke fics by hand, as it’s not something I’m that interested in doing.

I’d probably also never write a coffeeshop AU unless it had some kind of really interesting twist. I’m not really into the concept of making mundane AUs unless I can really take them and make them into something grander and more angsty. But who knows. The future is uncertain.

Other than that, yeah…I got nothing.

So could you do platonic bowser with a koopa reader that makes all his weapons and stuff

Bowser with a Koopa!reader that makes all his weapons

(Platonic)

Hey thanks for the ask 👋

Sorry for the wait. I was having a bit of trouble starting it off but hey at least I’ve done it. Still got the other requests to do so please be patient. ~Blaze/Dawn

Pronouns: Not mentioned

Warning: ❌

Requested: Yes/No

Characters: Bowser + Mentions of Kamek + Koopalings + Bowser Jr

Proofread: ❌

———————————

- Bowser is very interested in your work and how you're able to make pretty much any weapons no matter what. He’s surprised that he could just tell you what he wants to defeat Mario and you’ll just follow what he does and make it in however long it’ll take to make it. As I said before he’s surprised however he’s also kind of concerned that you're not taking care of yourself in between these creations. Despite being a villain whose only goal is to get the princess when it comes to his own beings like bowser jr, the koopalings and whoever is close to him he cares deeply for them and would do anything to make sure that they are ok.

- Adding on from the previous point, if he does find out that you're not taking care of yourself and mostly focusing on creating new weapons he’ll order you to stop. I can imagine him picking you up like it was nothing and placing you somewhere where you can relax. He’ll make his other people like kamek to give you stuff and make sure that you're actually relaxing and not trying to sneak off.

- Speaking of Kamek, I can imagine you being in constant communication with his other henchmen like the koopalings and junior since people Roy use weapons as well. Due to this you’ll probably have a close friendship with them mostly with Iggy and Roy. For iggy I have a headcanon he has a massive interest in science/biology so of course you two are going to be close. You two often exchange stuff about certain topics and Iggy constantly tells you about new weapons you can create. Even asking for the blueprints of the weapons/creation you make, that's how interested he is in them. As for Roy you were the one who created his bullet launcher thing (or whatever it’s called) and honestly he was impressed with it. He definitely likes to rely on you if anything happens to it or if he wants an upgrade done to it.

- For Bowser Jr you also have close communications with him due to him obviously being bowser’s son and you constantly giving bowser new weapons he can use and with junior being a child or at least having the personality/behavior of a child of course he’s going to get curious and would like you to make him some weapons of his own just like his father. Of course you do it for him with the bowser's permission of course and build him weapons of his own. Maybe not as great as his father but still good enough that he would be happy with the results and of course he is happy with the results. He pretty much runs up to you and hugs you tight like he just received the best thing in the world and immediately goes and uses it.

- Due to your job you're obviously going to have to be close with bowser because he has to communicate to you about the weapons he wants and you have to communicate to him to see if he likes the weapons. As mentioned in the first two points he does care for you and wants to make sure that you don’t overwork yourself. If you ever have points in time when you are doubting about the things you’ve created or ever thinking you're not good enough to work for someone like him he will assure that you're doing great and that he doesn’t regret picking you for assembling his weapons. Even if there was a time that your weapons didn’t work to the extent you wanted to, he isn't going to blame you for those malfunctions and he’ll tell you that there will be a time when these things happen.

- If there were some people/koopa’s blaming you for the failure of the weapons you know damn well he’ll be doing something about them. He’s definitely not going to let one of his assistants be looked down upon and being blamed for something that couldn’t be helped. He doesn’t have a problem teaching them a lesson in order for them to leave you alone and if he sees you being affected by these comments after dealing with said person/koopa as said before he’ll assure you that you’ve done nothing wrong and you did your best.

- Overall, despite what he is known for he’s definitely way better than what he has been described by and can overall be seen as some sort of father figure almost.

name: Rembrandt "Raskall" Howell // 222 age: 22 pronouns: They/Them series: OC canon point: N/A app triggers: Child neglect/abuse, self harm, severe burns, suicidal ideation, substance abuse (drugs + alcohol)

personality:

222 is absolutely opposite to their "civilian" form, being lackadaisical about far too many things for their own good. They hardly ever take anything seriously, even down to an argument that could mean life or death. They're very quick to judge others, but they couldn't care less about judgment cast their own way.

When it comes down to it, they will openly and brazenly speak their mind. Even if it means making a few enemies along the way. They have before and will again, a life spent alone has left them uncaring in regards to others' feelings, especially when those feelings are in regard to them.

They get conflicted when anybody feels positively or even neutrally  toward them, almost seeking to destroy any budding relationship of any kind before the person can inevitably become disappointed doing their own trials and research. They proudly claim to be among the refuse of society, but they can genuinely be a kind and loyal individual. If you stick around long enough, you would get something other than sarcastic quips and verbal low blows.

something your muse struggles with: Empathy, they weren't raised with the best values (Or any at all, really), so they struggle greatly in trying to relate to most people. Especially given their unique circumstances.

your muse’s greatest strength: Independence, they had to utilize a lot of it from even their youngest adolescent years. If there's anything they can do, it's brave a storm alone.

history / background: 

Rembrandt grew up a very troubled individual. Until the age of 12, they suffered through what hindsight can only identify as neglect and abuse. Yet somehow, some way, they felt a certain guilt that came with wanting to be apart from the parents who hardly even gave them a second glance.

To their parents, Rembrandt was simply a cash cow. Their one and only prodigal child, blessed with an affinity for anything musical. Though per their parents' request, they settled on pursuing a career as a pianist. For years, they trained under the watchful gaze of tutors and teachers and vagabonds alike, all of whom vost a pretty penny. Yet, they sustained the lifestyle and more using funds won from competitions, orchestral performances, and even playing for large events like weddings or funerals.

Having been exposed to so much yet entirely homeschooled with all focus put into music, Rembrandt grew up with no friends to call their own. The hired help throughout the house only existed to serve their paid purpose of preventing them harm, and even that was something that slipped by them every now and again. Every meal, every outfit, every minute and hour were all spent under the watch of their caretakers. Never their parents, unless it was to receive punishment or verbal abuse for messing up a performance, or falling behind in lessons, or even so much as getting distracted by a bug.

After years of being held under every thumb imaginable and watched at every move, they saw an opportunity and took it. Mere hours after their 12th birthday "celebration", everyone was caught up with the festivities in the manor's courtyard. Everyone but Rembrandt and their father, who was really giving it to them this time for "embarrassing the family." They were told to think about what they'd done, sent to their room while their father went back to "smooth things over."

⚠️BIGGER TRIGGERS UP AHEAD⚠️

For the first time they could ever think of, they were completely and entirely alone. The kitchen was on the way back to their room, and even just walking a few steps alone left them unsure. The kitchen was busy, it was messy, and the personal chef's yelling certainly wasn't keeping anybody else calm or collected. Who was going to notice a child walking right in? Let alone right up to the lit stovetop? Let alone smack dab in front of a pot of boiling water?

The glazing over of their eyes wasn't something they remembered more acutely than the sensation of burning their hands in boiling water. They didn't remember exactly how long their hands were in there, or when they'd started screaming, but the doctors said it was long enough. Their hands would be entirely unusable for the foreseeable future, and that meant losing out on money for their parents.

Getting an earful in a hospital was no joke, nor was it any less embarrassing to see their parents kicked out over it. There was still a numbness to their mind, a fog ever present as they lay there in pain. Was this it? Was this what they were resigned to? Over and over and over again? Nothing felt fair anymore, and their thoughts brewed almost as violently as the storm outside.

Outside…where nothing could be worse than it already was in here.

So to the outside they went.

A high mph wind and gust alert was beyond them, but it was issued regardless. As far as the family is aware, Rembrandt Mateo Howell went missing at 2:22AM from the Sun Plaza Hospital Urgent Care, a missing report was filed immediately. They were never found, however.

A wish was made that very night they'd run away, a wish offered to them in a time of dire need. At the disposal of nature, one can only avoid whipping foliage and flying debris for so long. All it took was one wrong place at the wrong time for a full tree to nearly make contact with Rembrandt. It doesn't, though.

The wish offered to Rembrandt ended up saving their life. Not only this, but the beast within the medium through which they were contacted ended up having more to offer than just saving their life. It would save AND secure them. They had free reign over their powers and what they would look like, unknowingly at the cost of separating their soul from their physical body.

It took some getting used to, but the wish for freedom left Rembrandt completely untethered. In fact, it left them an entirely new person. The confidence behind this superpowered persona gave an unheard 12-year-old far too much ego. They quickly fell in love with their freedom, the new, nearly limitless bounds of traveling and being uncatchable by universal law. 

Each day leading into their teen years was spent like it might be their last, a feat most people wouldn't even have the thoughts to pursue. They had the power and the time, though, and while they acted like a stereotypical superhero at first, it became self indulgent the older they got. They got more bold, and they continued to go unchecked.

They became a petty thief, at first, but after realizing nobody could stop the way they moved with their powers…it quickly became grand scale, stealing from bars and dealers to get drunk or high. Nothing ever topped that once-in-a-lifetime moment when they were first saved. Given new resilience through a strengthened shell of a body, they continued to chase inebriation or highs like their life depended on it. Up until this point, it hadn't, but now? It depends on it more than ever.

Now at the age of 22, they're deep into needing substances daily to function, but as far as they can remember…this is how 222 has always been, always will be, and once they die is when they're truly free. Until then, they live as dangerously and recklessly as possible to put an end to the mental anguish, all behind the facade of cool and uncaring.

i'll give these a shot. 🎨 How do you feel about fanart?

depends. there's a lot of weird stuff out there, but some of it is nice.

📝 How do you feel about fanfiction?

it either makes me feel frustrated (while i mentally point out how ooc i/people who were close to me are portrayed,) or directly called out. if you write me well enough to give me deja vu/make me feel like i'm getting personally made fun of, i can't even be mad. you're allowed.

✅ What does the fandom usually get right?

...all of the things i don't want to admit.

❌ What does the fandom usually get wrong?

here's a fun fact about human beings. it's actually possible to love more than one person in your lifetime. sometimes even, more than one at once. sometimes your feelings on people are complicated and you don't know what they are. take this as you will.

i was never the type of person to be... well. "assertive" in a relationship/about my feelings either. that didn't help.

🗺️ What do you miss about your world?

family and friends 100%.

💔 Who are you missing right now?

family and friends 100%. (including zack + aerith, even though they were... y'know.)

🚫 Is there anyone you hope to never see again?

take a guess.

🔀 How canon-divergent vs. canon-compliant are you?

very "compliant." in quotes because i just go off what i remember, and almost none of it conflicts with what happens/is implied to happen in the fictional version of my universe portrayed here.

my canon was almost completely like the OG with some people from remake (madam m, andrea, etc) there too.

⚧ What were your gender and orientation in your timeline; was your identity canon?

male. who occasionally crossdressed under the radar. (the turks probably knew.) this lines up with "canon."

i was bisexual by definition but never cared to label myself. i didn't have much of a sex drive in general, and there weren't many people i felt comfortable sharing it with anyway.

i definitely had some sort of feelings for zack, but didn't realize it until way after he was gone. by then, it didn't do anything but cause more grief so it was sort of a secret. i wasn't exactly "in the closet," but i certainly wasn't too open about liking men either. i didn't like the questions.

there might have been something there for aerith too, but my mental state was too jumbled during the time i knew her to really know for sure.

tifa... was complicated. i know she had feelings for me. part of me felt pressured to be with her; many different reasons involved. i can't remember how it ended. for a while we might have tried? or had some sort of queerplatonic thing going on. but i know for a fact at some point we realized that despite loving each other like family, pursuing a long-term relationship would come with a lot of challenges. she was just... looking for someone who was different. i couldn't provide the things she needed from a relationship, and it was really hard for her to accept that.

anyone extremely familiar with ffvii will understand me when i say this is also ""canon compliant"" with double quotes. square enix can only write so many love songs (with cloud + another character as the subject matter) before our heads start to explode.

💗 What helps you feel closer to your source (in a positive way)?

i used to like RP, but i've been too busy for it lately. it's always funny hearing other people share their headcanons about Cloud Strife™ when you are in fact... really Cloud Strife™ and not just someone pretending to be a character. lol. fanfic can be fun too.

🖊️ Do you use your name from your source?

in certain settings. it'd be sort of hard to do irl.

👬 How do you feel about doubles?

bad for them.

⭐ Is your fiction-based identity spiritual, psychological, or something else?

probably a combination of both.

i'm big on the whole past life reincarnation/infinite universe theory, but i still logically know at the end of the day it's just one big coping mechanism.

maybe it can be like having a spirit animal. who knows. all i know is that (in theory,) i was once cloud strife from the popular jrpg Final Fantasy 7™ in an alternate universe. in theory. and i'm glad i wasn't followed here this time.

🎙️ What's the biggest difference between you and your canon self?

i'm an inch or two taller this time. hooray. (that, and i'm obviously not mako enhanced anymore.)

💞 What's the biggest similarity between you and your canon self?

personality wise/mentally? all of it. i wish i was kidding. my friends (even non kin friends who have no idea,) have been making fun of me about it for years. this is involuntary.

it's not as fun as you'd think. maybe it would be if it were a different kintype who was less awkward and repressed (yet earnest.)

❓ Do you prefer when people are familiar or unfamiliar with your source when they meet you?

i couldn't care less. it's not like you go out and meet people with the goal of having them know everything about you. but online it can be nice.

👍 What's your favorite thing about your source?

the way the OG handles a lot of heavier topics between it's cast (interpersonal relationships, emotion, mental health, trauma response, toxic behaviors, etc etc) can at times be quite flawed, but at others surprisingly in-depth and realistic. this extends to remake a bit too.

👎 What's your least favorite thing about your source?

the weird fanservicey stuff in remake. i could go on a whole rant about the point of the OG's ambiguity regarding relationships being ruined but that's for another time.

oh, and gackt.

💸 Do you own any merch of your source?

amiibos.

🌸 Do you feel comfortable in your fiction-based identity?

yes and no.

🌻 Who are you open with about your fiction-based identity?

almost nobody. (there's a reason why this blog is mostly anonymous.) perhaps ~2 extremely close friends.
