[sandflakedraws]

are we confessing? *whispering* i fell in love with your art via The Attic AU and may have saved a bunch of it when people got weird. hope that's not too weird. idk if people are still weird about it. anyway your whump is phenomenal.

eh, occasionally people are still weird about it, but! on the whole, most of the people (and anons) interacting with me have been kind & reasonable <: )

it's honestly something i think i got very lucky with; i've had some pretty sweet followers over the years. it's very humbling, and something i don't mean to take for granted.

,,, also as a bonus for u - floyd hasn't escaped similar treatment

I get the feeling that Adeline is the most likely to get therapy.

...She'll probably need it too... (Pausing the fun times for something dreadfully serious) -

Thinking about visual symbolism where Tomura gets OFA and the embers/fire visual that is usually shown with the users, which is usually something comforting or warm, instead with Tomura it's shown as a sort of wildfire. It's the culmination of the vestiges powers and strong will's becoming one with a 10th user added to it, but Tomura's strong will too. A villain holding this powerful quirk would be expected to use it for evil but he stands opposing his mentor, the man who manipulated his entire life, and it blazes in his soul with his rising hatred against him

A strong fire that is neither comforting or warm like a typical hero reassuring the masses, but an almost violent wildfire directed at evil

OCtober day 18 - swap 🩸👼 (their original forms look like this!)

i went with "role in the story" for this one. i've thought abt this AU a bit before, but i think a lot of things would change if gwyar was sacrificed instead of claret…

The Cooler Claret spawned from a face monster and so i thought it would b cute to have gwyar mutate from a crimera! (<- objectively uncute thing to say). the monsters r somewhat significant bc they represent unfulfilled desires from when they were still ppl, like claret becoming strong enough to protect her home/family and gwyar's desire to be free (hence y she can fly now).

even though claret emerges as an adult in canon, i chose to keep gwyar as a child in the swapped version bc it felt more fitting. clarets new role in the story is similar to gwyars in that she aims to purge the crimson, but where gwyar becomes quite apathetic, claret takes on a much crueler personality... 😔

hey i posted 7,500 words in like a week, check out my fnaf fanfic pleas

[sensitiveheartless]

@alazystranger and @lil-vibes — sorry it took me a bit to actually provide context alsksjdjf the chaos of moving continues — but here is a quick explanation!

Basically the morning cuddles comic is for an AU where Dazai convinces Chuuya to leave the Port Mafia. Chuuya doesn’t join the Agency, he just leaves the mafia (in most part due to a near-death experience which forces him and Dazai to have an actual conversation about Chuuya’s persistent habit of putting everyone else before himself) so Chuuya doesn’t really know what else he’s going to do because he’s been in the role of protecting other people for as long as he can remember, be that in the Sheep or in the Mafia.

So in the aftermath Dazai tells him not to rush and to take his time to think about how he wants to live, and while Chuuya is thinking about it he’s staying with Dazai in the dorms and just kinda hanging out :0

It’s very self indulgent and has just been a fun thing for me to bat around in my head while I’m packing and stuff; I think it would be nice for Chuuya to get to chill and exist for himself for a while. (Plus it’s an excuse for domesticity lol)

smarmy jerk Bright Idea!

[lord-squiggletits]

What is the Tarnma penpals au? I've seen you mention it a couple times and am super curious about it!

Hiiii

So the Pen Pals AU is an idea that I got a couple of weeks ago. Kind of self-explanatory by the name, but the idea is it's a post-war scenario with a diplomatic ending b/t the Autobots and Decepticons. One of the many efforts to normalize relations is a pen pals program that's set up to pair Autobots with Decepticons under randomized pseudonyms. The goal is to try and create positive relationships based only on these letters and not any preconceived notions based on faction or identity. (Also it's pre-Earth which means it's pre-Delphi for Pharma, so his normal non-traumatized personality features.)

Pharma and Tarn naturally get paired up under this program, and the first part of the AU/fic (yes I'm going to write it eventually) is them basically having their pen pals relationship turn from friendship to heavily implied mutual romantic attachment. Their individual daily lives are also shown bc each of them is dealing with their own identity-related crisis: Tarn struggling with depression and addiction in the aftermath of all the things he did for the DJD and confusion over why Megatron just had them change so suddenly. Pharma with the realization that his whole life has just been defined by his accomplishments and he's lived his life in a way where he's oft-respected and admired, but never loved for who he is as a person rather than what he does.

The whole AU was originally meant to be fluffy and slice-of-life-esque (there was even an arranged marriage component in the very first conception of the idea), but as I fleshed out the setting more, I realized I wanted to actually delve deep into the implications of a post-war setting. So the Pen Pals AU has taken a darker turn recently; not darker as in fluffy romance to dead dove, but it's more like, the fluffy romance develops and then the past/war comes back to haunt Tarn and Pharma's relationship in a way that's very (re)traumatizing, both for them individually and their chances of being able to stay together as a couple.

So the fact that Tarn was in the DJD/oversaw Grindcore and did countless atrocities is very much an element of the story that's explored rather than shied away from. At first he deals with it on his own, and for a while he lives in blissful ignorance knowing that his pen pal is the one relationship he has with a "normal person" (he knows that his pen pal is a doctor, aka not a hardened soldier and criminal). Unfortunately things get complicated when his pen pal asks to meet IRL because he wants them to be more than friends, and Tarn realizes that he can't move forward with this new, blooming relationship without being honest about who he is. On Pharma's end, he has to grapple with the idea of choosing love over reputation, following his heart rather than his fear of social rejection/ostracization. Especially when the consequences of continuing to date Tarn could go from just "people judging him" to.... well, that's what me eventually writing the fic is meant to reveal. :)

TLDR: Tarn and Pharma meet as anonymous pen pals, end up having a lot of shared issues re: loneliness and isolated public personas, help each other solve their personal problems, share a mutual love of music, and fall in love, then realize who the other is. Complications ensue.

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself

[rotzaprachim]

what no one has done nearly enough with is vel and cassian (or more likely, joreth sward or someone) having a lavender marriage for the Rebellion. vel needs a more convenient Cover for not being a nice heterosexually married Chandrilan Lady and the rebellion needs to sink another long term sleeper agent into the Chandrilan elite to pass money and information around. Vel and Cassian think they're going to kill each other in the first week or be immediately found out but the thing is that because they have a shared purpose and don't actively hate each other's guts they can grit their teeth and Bear It for the rebellion and in comparison to the *rest* of *real* Chandrilan couples this is an absolute dream relationship, so everyone's after Vel for marriage advice
