#thanks for the asks pal!!

[thetragicallynerdy]

hey friend, hope your day's well! 10, 12 and 14 for ao3 wrapped?

awww hey buddy!!! it's been very chill, hope yours goes wonderfully too <3

10) What work was the quickest to write?

So, this is a bit of a mixed bag, because my works varied from 200 words to 55K words last year XD But a couple that were quick to write in terms of how easily they came:

Heel (OFMD, Jim/Zheng, NSFW, 8K) - this one wrote up really quickly! It's 8K and I think I wrote it in 4 days? It just flowed incredibly easily.

the rainbow connection (OFMD, Jim/Olu, 1.7K) - this one got written in like one night XD it came so quickly lol, I had the idea and a few hours later yeeted the fic on ao3.

Yippee-Kiyay, Motherfuckers (OFMD, Jim/Olu, 55K) - so this one took a month to write, which is absolutely the quickest I've written a complete multi-chaptered fic in my entire life. Having a plot already formed for me helped a TON. (It's the Die Hard fic.)

12) How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

31 ahahahhah

Not all of them are being actively worked on, but yeah. Thirty-one.

14) What’s your shortest work of the year?

drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart (OFMD, Jim/Ed, NSFW, 200 words) - My only double drabble ever!! I think it's the shortest work I've published ever, not just this year. It was fun to do! (It is also the 'quickest to write up', but that felt like cheating XD)

Thanks for the asks friend!!

Ao3 Wrapped Ask Game is here for the curious!

If Luigi is uncomfortable with the pressure of being the hero, and Mario is dissatisfied with the little attention he gets as sidekick, why do they occupy the roles that they do? Is something forcing/pressuring them to?

There are two main reasons why they keep up their roles!

First off...fate! Luigi has terrible luck, and even tho he begs and cries to not be the hero... there's always something that pushes him into a situation where he has to be the hero. It's kind of like scooby doo logic in a way.

And look, Luigi may be a coward, but he's not an asshole. He's not going to let people be hurt just cuz he doesn't want to be the hero

The second main reason has more to do with Mario...and Mario just doesn't want to take away his brothers spotlight! He would never ever want to be recognized at the expense of taking away attention from his brother. Mario also hopes he can use the attention and fame to get Luigi to overcome his anxiety

A common Mario quote to Luigi is "everyone calls you a hero because you ARE a hero"

Some other more obscure reasons are social pressures (fans in the koopa kingdom want LUIGI not Mario), and Mario's crush on Peach can blindside him at times

I don't even go here (have only watched analysis videos of saw traps) but I need u to know I am a chainshipping disciple 100% bc of ur art and how insanely gorgeously heart-stopping and compelling it is thank u for lightening my worth with this light of truth

CHAINSHIPPING DISCIPLE????

[sitp-recs]

top 5 rare pairs? :)

Hi lovely, thank you so much! As you know I love babbling about these, kind feel bad that I didn’t include any femslash but I wanted to keep this short and include some sneaky recs as always :D hope that’s ok, would love to see your picks too!

1. HARRY/TEDDY MY BELOVED, sometimes I feel like I love them as much as Drarry as my adoration for Teddy Lupin (and Harry’s too, I’m sure) goes beyond this life, and the next. as always a big shoutout to @lqtraintracks for single-handedly seducing me into this ship back in 2012, thank you for your service 🫡

2. Harry/Ron, things like this fic by @writcraft and this post suggest that friends to lovers might be in fact the ultimate trope. it took me so long to get into the idea of them as a romantic ship, and even longer to start reading it because I’m picky af, but after I did they started living rent free in my head and there’s no way back. rip liv 🤡

3. Harry/Ron/Draco because I really wanted to include a triad, also a bit picky about them but @tackytigerfic’s foundational Aim For My Heart punched me in the solar plexus with feelings (ugh!!!), and I can’t really resist the pull now that @dronarryfest exists. I’ll take this chance to also mention my love for Dron which has superb fics like this and this, a really fun and refreshing ship with its own brand of humor and angst.

4. Harry/Sirius, look I’m a simple woman with simple fandom needs and age gap covers most of them lol I don’t read it very often but I ache for the angst potential of those hotdirtywrong vibes & delicious want x guilt moral dilemma that our Sirry champion @lqtraintracks explores so well. orrr we can go the hot & sweet route and still get ruined by tender wall sex, how dare you @maesterchill

5. Draco/Albus Severus is on this list solely bc of birdsofshore’s invaluable contribution including my all-time favorite pwp, and also my pal @sweet-s0rr0w who gifted me this breathtaking T-rated gem, how lucky am I!!!

Bonus: special mention to Sirius/Draco which I hadn’t considered before being slapped in the face by this gem by @ruinsplume and this gem by one @citrusses you might have heard of her 😌

ask me my top 5/10 anything!

[walkman-cat]

Sibling Shuffle: Meeting Yourself!

@afellocndn sent in an ask that I had thought about before but wasn’t going to make any drawings or anything about if no one was interested

But since you asked…

"So… you aren’t Copy Robot?"

"No… You aren’t, either?"

"Nuh-uh. …So, uh… what’s it like, uh…where you’re from?"

—————

The Rolls would probably have a lot to talk about. The two would probably end up being friends. Maybe SS!Roll would tell OG!Roll about some adventures she had, and OG!Roll might compare them to her brother’s. So, here’s SS!Roll showing OG!Roll her Megabuster.

"Copy Robot?!"

"Darkman?!"

"…what?"

"…what?"

"…I think we may have one another confused for someone else. I’m DLN-001: Rock Light, AKA Megaman. What about you?"

"…My name is Rock Light. And I’m model number DLN-001..."

"…Uh…Okay… Not the first time I’ve met another me before, haha! Are you from the future?"

"I…don’t think so?"

—————

It’s possible they mistake each other for Copy Robot and Darkman (respectively), but once they realize neither is there for a fight they’d get to talking. Rock is a sweet kid in both universes, but OG!Rock has a slightly different energy about him because he always had his family supporting him. And SS!Rock is a little bit different in terms of his internal systems, so OG!Rock’s attempts at making SS!Rock more comfortable might raise more questions in SS!Rock’s mind - particularly about how he is able to touch him without copying him lol

"…"

"…"

"…And I thought Sniper Joes were bad…"

"…Darkman?"

"How the heck did you reach that conclusion??? Darkman never copied me. I don’t know if he even could’ve."

"…Wait, is this another ‘meet yourself from another universe’ thing?"

"Probably."

—————

If introduced without context, OG!Blues, upon meeting SS!Blues, might also end up pointing a buster at him under the assumption that he was Darkman (which I doubt SS!Blues would’ve taken kindly). Neither are very social, and without anyone willingly leading the conversation I don’t know how they would interact from there. My best guess is that they wouldn’t know what to do with each other either lol

(Also!! Check out @forestlingincorporated’s comic strips. They’re really entertaining!)

Thanks for the ask, @afellocndn!

[askbendyandpals]

For the kiss prompt: can you please do Shikatema #9?

wow yes of course i can do this prompt for you!! thank you for the ask :DDD

Kiss Prompt #9: ...in public (catch the full version of this on AO3 as part of shikatemamonth24 ;))

Temari was almost too comfortable to move. 

They were lying on top of the covers, her back to his chest, Shikamaru’s arms around her waist.

She hadn’t let him use the blanket because then he would fall asleep immediately, and they had to get up to go soon. Not that it had helped much - from the sound of his breathing, she was pretty sure he was fast asleep.

Temari elbowed his stomach. “You have five minutes to get up.” 

“That’s five minutes of more sleep I could have gotten before you so kindly decided to wake me.”

“Four minutes.” She elbowed him again, harder.

He grumbled, tightening his grip around her and pushing his face deeper into her hair. 

He had been that way since they left the Hokage Tower, practically booking it to his apartment to collapse in his extra-plush bed. And stretched out next to Shikamaru, Temari could practically feel the tension and soreness melt away from her shoulders and neck. Who knew that even after years of carrying a giant fan on her back, an office desk could still cause a whole different kind of ache. 

Though Temari wasn't exactly upset about the extra minutes of rest. She would need her energy for a dinner later with the entire Konoha Rookie class.

Behind her, Shikamaru finally got up with a loud groan. Unlike her, he had immediately stripped himself of his jounin fatigues and now had to shake them out from their pile on the floor.

She slid off the bed. “If it’s just dinner, why are you getting dressed in your uniform?” She asked, picking a stray thread off his shoulder. 

Shikamaru finished adjusting his flak vest. “It’s a drag, but I can get called away anytime. It’s happened before.”

Temari leaned against his dresser, silently watching him check the pockets of his vest and pouch. She felt a surge of pride as he made sure his uniform was neat and proper. Shikamaru had definitely come a long way from the lazy fourteen-year-old who never washed his chuunin vest. He had a much more important role in the village now, and the care he was putting into his appearance, even for the off chance that he was summoned, showed that he knew it and was taking responsibility for it. 

It was so hot, she was having trouble keeping her hands to herself. 

Temari wiped her hands on her thighs. “Do they know I’m coming?” She asked, trying to distract herself.

“I let Chouji and Naruto know, so I’m sure they told the others.” 

She nodded, even though he still wasn’t looking at her. “Do they know... anything else?”

His eyes, dark and unfathomable, pierced through hers in the mirror. “You know they don’t. No one does.”

Temari only nodded, and again busied her hands by reapplying her lipstick and tightening her pigtails. If they didn’t leave now, they were definitely going to be late. 

Shikamaru seemed to read her mind, because he pulled her away from the dresser, looking her up and down. 

“You look good.” He said, his hand trailing up her arm. 

Temari huffed, looking away. “So do you.”

He leaned in, thoughts on something other than dinner, and his breath skimmed over her cheeks before she stopped him, her hand over his mouth.

“But unfortunately for you, my lipstick stains and we’re supposed to see your friends in ten minutes.”

He sighed, an exaggeratedly forlorn look crossing his face. “Troublesome….”

---

They got to the restaurant the same time as half of the other invitees, and in the flurry of greetings, no one noticed that they arrived together, standing a little closer than professional.

Chouji was friends with the owner - a distant relative - and the restaurant had arranged a long table near the far side for their large group. They were all quickly seated, and the waiter took down their flurry of food and drink orders with great experience.

The night went smoothly, until about halfway through.

“Nara-san!”

Temari looked up from her dinner to see a uniformed Chuunin rush into the restaurant. He stopped next to her boyfriend and handed him a folded piece of paper. 

“Thank you.” Shikamaru said as he quickly read it. 

He took out a pencil and added his own part to the message, then turned to give it back to the Chuunin. “Take this to the guards at the northern gate. Let them know I’ll be sending more orders soon.”

Temari really liked watching him get into his Commander-mode. His voice would lose its lethargic drawl and his eyes became sharper and more focused. It was so attractive every time - she didn’t think she would ever get tired of it. 

“Yes, sir!” 

The Chuunin shot out the door, back to his post. Shikamaru took a last swig of his drink. “Sorry, guys. Gotta go.” He apologized with a shrug.

He was met with half-hearted groans and complaints from his friends. They were used to his frequent summonings interrupting their hang-outs. 

Temari watched as he took out more than enough cash to cover his and another’s meal. She almost rolled her eyes.

Shikamaru stood up and leaned over, a hand on the back of her chair. “I’ll see you later.” He murmured, and Temari instinctively turned her head to meet him in a quick, soft kiss. 

“Bye.” She gave him a small smile as he squeezed her shoulder lightly. 

She watched him leave before going back to her food. He already paid, so at least one of them should finish eating. 

Temari then became aware of the overwhelming silence at the table. She looked up to see all of Konoha’s brightest generation staring at her. Feeling suddenly self-conscious - and missing the usual presence at her side - she asked carefully. “...What?”

No one said anything at first, until Kiba let out a slow whistle, and Temari noticed smiling and snickering start around the table. “What?” She asked again, more annoyed. 

Tenten leaned forward. “You just kissed Shikamaru.” She stated pragmatically. 

Temari scowled at her, about to reject her ridiculous claim, until the realization hit. Her grip on her chopsticks loosened, and she felt her face heat up. 

She and Shikamaru had kissed each other - on the lips - in front of everyone.

Ino burst out into laughter. “Of all the ways to slip up! And you two are supposed to be the smart ones here.”

So much for being lowkey.
