Yes, they used Black Parade for the trailer. Yes, I know literally everyone on this site should have seen it for that reason alone. Yes. Dead Boy Detectives is worth the watch.

*Boops Ingo* 🐾

With no warning, the weird teenager runs up to you at the training grounds while holding up her baggy polecat so it can boop you on the nose with its paw. What do you do?

I just remembered we're less than a month from a new Wayward Children novella 🥳

[monstermoviedean]

first visible time stamp we've gotten since 12x23 (which took place in may 2017). there are three post-its marking disappearances with dates from january 2018. "rock springs, colorado, january 19, 2018" (left side, third from top), "ainsworth, nebraska, january 4, 2018" (top half, furthest to the right), and "dalton, nebraska, january 8 (or 18?), 2018" (below and to the left of ainsworth). these are past abductions and have to have happened prior to this episode. 13x11 aired january 25, 2018, so the episode is taking place around the same time.

according to @shallowseeker the widower arc timeline is about a month, give or take. so how did we get from june to january?

Fav Books with Ace Characters

Oh?? It's Ace Week?? We have books for that.

These days, we're spoiled for choice when it comes to books with ace rep, so to narrow it down here are just my personal favorites:

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

Just in case there's some chance you haven't heard of Tumblr's favorite terrifying murderbot. Murderbot is a security unit that hacked its own governor module and, with its newfound freedom, binge watches TV instead of going on a murderous rampage. No, it's not a problem that the ace rep in this book is a sort of robot. Trust me on this one. Start with All Systems Red.

Wayward Children series by @seananmcguire

Nancy went to another world when she was a kid. Now she's back and her parents don't know what to do with their quiet, strange girl child. Luckily, there's Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. No solicitations, no visitors, no quests. Start with Every Heart a Doorway.

Dread Nation duology by Justina Ireland

An alternate history set in Civil War era America where, after the Battle of Gettysburg, the dead began to rise. Congress quickly passes an act requiring children of certain backgrounds (take a wild guess) to attend combat schools and train to be zombie killers and protect the wealthy, white upper class. The main character in this one isn't ace, but another major character is. Start with Dread Nation.

The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

Epic fantasy about a disgraced and forgotten order of knights re-emerging to save a world perpetually at war from an even worse fate. It's not outright stated until later, but a major character is ace, and she's easy to spot. I know these books are cinderblocks but listen. Listen. They are So Good. If the length is intimidating, try the audiobooks - they are expertly narrated and they fly by. Start with The Way of Kings.

Prompt of The Week

It's Fic Title Friday Saturday💖

Come up with a summary or scene for this not-yet-written fic titled, 'A Moral Compass for The Wayward Ninja'

[waywardstation]

I'm too much of a nervous bean to reach out not anonymously. But I wanted to say that your stories are my favorite iterations of Ingo and Akari and are what sucked me fully into submas. So thankyou and I look forward to seeing everything you come out with 😊

AHH thank you kind anon!!! ;w; <3 that means so much to me!! I’m also looking forward to getting more out!! I have so much I want to get out. I realize most of my writings that have most solidified how I currently write their dynamics are still not out yet. I have so much to get out and the most important parts of them I realize still are not public, so people can’t see the characters how I currently headcanon them.

I haven’t even posted anything yet that sets up the AU I’ve developed around them. It’s called Savepoint AU and it’s been in my head since 2023, regarding the tags I left in this post.

It’s very important to the narrative leading up to everything in I Won’t leave You Behind, but I feel I cannot post about it until I get Rain Check and its accompanying sequel Entropy Syndrome out. One group of people knows a little about it and has seen art related to it but that’s it haha.

ANYWAYS these are where Ingo and Akari’s dynamics really shine and I am hoping I can pull it together enough soon to be satisfied with the smaller details and get it out. I don’t want to rush it or I know it’ll bug me forever, as I feel that way about some stuff in HFBE haha. (DW I will fix these eventually)

Once again thank you anon!!! I’m so happy you like my work specifically, and I’m looking forward to getting more out!

Dadrius Week Day Three Coven Heads

@sergeantsporks

[burning-academia-if]

Welcome to another monthly update! Honestly, outside of releasing Chapter 1 + fixing some of the issues that popped up, I don't have much to report. I got sick at the end of the month and have been head empty no thoughts while resting, which meant not a lot got done! (Because ya know, in my brain releasing a chapter equals not much done apparently ajsjsj). Overall, this was my January:

Released chapter 1 + spent the next week fixing issues

Finalized scenes for Chapter 2

Starting writing the first Chapter 2 scene (~2k words written)

The only notable thing on the blog this month beyond horny anons lmfaO was Beck's birthday post! I drew something for it + shared a snippet of his backstory.

With that said, I'm hoping to finish at least one of two major branches for chapter 2 this month! I'll also update the demo so people can choose which indicators they want turned on (romance, path, or both).

Finally, thanks for playing! BA hit a total of 10k plays in January, which is wild lol I appreciate y'all playing, commenting, sending asks, etc!
