#this got longer than it should've

[theabhainnhotel]

I wrote a oneshot off this (still learning how to write the Hazbin characters in-character so I hope this is alright):

An hour had passed since the Vees came over to the hotel and 2/3rds of them were miserable. Charlie set up mini "bonding games" for the Vees. What started as a hopeful possible deal turned into death stares between Vox and Alastor and Angel Dust and Valentino. Velvette didn't have any personal enemies, but she barely looked up from her phone the whole time. The tension was so thick it could be cut with a knife. Charlie tried to keep a smile on in hopes everyone would get along and this would work, but she did prepare to intervene if needed.

This was however, until one activity.

Charlie came up with the idea of taking old, unwanted items and adding some spice. It was a great way to express one's creativity and she believed art revealed a lot about a person. She didn't just say that as someone who doodled on every one of her papers and notes. That's what she did at the wood table. She made a college of old newspaper scraps and papers, then colored parts with rainbow markers to illustrate the scenes. It was all for fun anyways, no need to be perfect.

Velvette didn't seem to mind the activity. She took some of the fabric scraps and a pin out of her hair. Turns out the pin was a double functioning needle and strung a thread to the fabric, working on sewing a scarf.

Vox didn't even show up. He and Alastor quipped to the point that Vaggie held them both at spearpoint and kicked them out. Vox was the only one visibly worked up, but they were both at fault. She stood out there to make sure the two didn't slaughter each other.

Valentino though, he was different. His gaze settled on the bedazzling tool, a container of sequins, and a pair of boots Charlie found in one of the hotel closets. Some of them she hadn't gotten around to emptying since she had bigger things at hand. This building was a mess when she got her hands on it. The moth pimp covered his project with his pink wings. The other two finished their projects and he was still working. Velvette found a way to make faded brown and cream patches work as a chic scarf. She flipped it over her shoulder with a smile.

"Bravo! It's beautiful!" Charlie clapped. This wasn't going so bad.

Ten minutes later, he finished. Charlie watched Alastor and Vox argue out the window. It was a good thing Vaggie chased the two of them out because even though she couldn't hear them, Vox's talking with his hands She didn't realize he finished until he clamped one of his slender hands on her shoulder, making her jump.

"Mmm, how does this look, princesa?" Valentino held up the spare pair of boots in front of her face. He turned the boring pair of old boots into a masterpiece of magenta, purple, blue, and white sequins. The main boot was magenta with light purple sequins making a circle on the sides. Inside the circles were white sequins surrounding magenta Vs.

Charlie's grin strained. It wasn't that the project was bad, no, it was one of the best jobs she'd ever seen. She just had no idea how to process the fact that the same demon who ran a morally corrupt porn business enjoyed arts and crafts. Her brain short-circuited. That seemed impossible.

"It's . . . lovely! Great job, Valentino! You can keep those if you like, you made it after all!" Charlie stepped away as Valentino smiled, proud of himself.

Vaggie came back in, running her hand down her face. "That fucking radio demon is going to be the death of me, I swear . . ."

"Aw, hun. Thanks for doing that." Charlie stepped over and took her hand, giving it a squeeze. The gentle affection softened Vaggie's expression. "Did you know Valentino is artsy? I know he's almost pure evil and it sounds crazy, but he's weirdly good at it."

Vaggie took a moment to think about that, seemingly as baffled As Charlie. "Valentino. Artsy. Charlie, I believe you, but that would've been my last guess. Especially after everything Angel said about him." She peeked over to see Valentino fixing a few sequins on his new shoes.

"Oh, don't get me started on his secret closet. It's so shiny that you need sunglasses so you don't go blind, like him." Velvette spoke up, eavesdropping on the conversation. Her voice stayed casual.

Charlie blinked. She had a million questions, but she wasn't sure how many answers she wanted.

I want a 'vees forced to hang out at the hotel' storyline for a number of reasons, but the primary one is that I want to see Charlie have an episode where she just struggles to emotionally process that Valentino is a horrible person who also enjoys arts and crafts. she thought they were mutually exclusive traits before and this is a very hard time for her

i havent finished tamn (chpt 30), but I have a little theory about immunity. I'm assuming the virus is usually fatal via fever, as in the fever kills the victim and then resurrects them. while gri and q survived the fever but are still infected, thus the "immunity". i just love sentient zombie stories! sorry for redundancy if you answered something similar to this in the past

That's the gist of it, yeah! Calling themselves "immune" is a bit of a falsehood on both Quackity and Grian's part (though not an intentionally misleading one- Grian picked up calling it 'immune' from Quackity, and Quackity calls it that because he's a very "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a duck" kind of person). They're both still very much infected, though, which means they carry and operate with all the symptoms of the virus (just skipped the "dying horrifically" part).

That being said, we figure that there are a few people out there with True Immunity (i.e. no adverse reactions/symptoms to a bite) but sadly, in the context of TAMN............ neitehr Big Q or Gri are one of those people - 🔒

Finally finished this goofy ahh thing

I'm so sorry for that last page and making Forrest look like that @dampsleeves

[purplesoup-lad-le]

@devisayliyaa i was your secret santa! i couldn't see many kotlc posts on your blog, so i just drew keefe with nail polish (+biana proud of her work lol) I hope you like it! @song-tam

[nalivaa]

I just saw your drawing prompt post so if you don't want to, absolutely feel free to ignore this, but Mini!Faerie!Michael or Mini!Faerie!Adam on a flower or in a tree kind seems like the sort of fanciful setting you'd enjoy. Oh, or perhaps a thumbelina type drawing with one of them sitting on the other? Idk, I think a small version of one or both of them would be cute.

And I hope you feel better soon! Sending much love and hugs in the meanwhile <333

beloved i'm so sorry this took me so long and for what 😭

but also you know me so well 💜 i saw this prompt and went absolutely feral i will revisit this au this is a threat

thank you so much for the prompt i know it took me a while to get it done but it made me feel much better at the moment you're so sweet ily 💜💜💜💜

one odd thing about going deeper is that I'm no longer satisfied with shallower. and that's, weirdly enough, a net positive. I've self harmed - eh, twice? in the last month. both were well into the criteria that should have got sutures and ignored it; suspect I hit a vein once and was extremely close to muscle, which feels kind of odd. yeah, it's ramped up; yeah, there's a lot of blood and all that kind of stuff. very high risk of infection, potential nerve damage and all that kind of stuff (though I have not got either of them; I scared off an infection that wanted to hang round by chucking quantities of alcohol on it). but at the same time. that's only twice. that's a lot better than previously.

how do you plot your fics?

oh i am the worst person to answer this, you're going to hate me

the short answer is ... i sort of ... don't.

i have a general idea of what i want the fic to be about and i just roll with it. and this is the reason why i don't post chapters as they get finished, prior to completing the whole fic, because if i find something i want to happen later, i can go back and edit the earlier chapters to make sure they line up with what happens at the end.

that being said, i SORT OF outlined for DYH. because it takes place over the course of the week, i wanted to be sure i had plans for what was going to happen every day. for example, i wanted harry to show up, so i figured out which day that was going to happen. then i needed someone to block the tension building (because i couldn't feasibly keep apart without cause) so father albus came into play.

but for the most part, i just have a separate notes document for ideas that i have for the fic, things that i want to call back to, things that i want to be sure to add in later. less of an outline, more of a chaotic collection of ideas. a lot of my notes say things like 'and then this fucking asshole shows up' or 'remus gets super fucking drunk because he didn't make the podium or what the fuck ever' (that's verbatim from my wolfstar/Yuri On Ice WIP, by the way)

yeah so this was not helpful or advice-giving in any way but its because i'm a goblin person and i don't really know how to write technically, i just mash words together. but if you wanna talk about writing processes, i'm all about it and you can hit me up anytime!

Whooo boy!! I feel like I got a lot and nothing done at the same time in TotK!!

I got my first axes and learned to chop stuff, managed to kill my first bird for meat, learned how to cook finally, killed more constructs and got to open 2 chests, I got a korok to it's friend!!, got a rusty shield and sword, marked more areas off on the map, and generally just foraged a bunch and got a bunch of new stuff to cook with and make elixirs with...oh!! And I fought my first chuchus!!

So, I guess I did get a lot done haha!!

I ended the night by getting to the island with my second shrine, but will leave the exploring of said island and shrine for another day :3
