Allrighty due to the recent Ao3 drama I will be returning to fic writing as a fuck you to AI bros with no sense of creativity! I will also privatize all my works which I honestly should’ve done sooner. It might make linking works here a pain but I truly don’t care. Creativity is the pinnacle of humanity and by god will I fucking create.

[wilbraley]

Do you plan on continuing “The Intervention” on Ao3? It’s only marked 2/3, and I absolutely loved where you were going with it!

I definitely do! I have the final chapter of "The Intervention" in progress, and the rest of the series outlined, I just gotta write them lol!

Unfortunately, my brain works in cycles of art vs writing. I got a big hit of art inspiration a lil while back, and it's been tanking my writing. I'm working on other, smaller things to get back into the writing mood, so hopefully I can start again soon? I might post-pone updates (not the final chapter of Intervention, just the next works in the series) until I have more written so I don't leave ppl on accidental hiatuses, but I WILL get them done!

New fanart WIP!

[wilbraley]

In an art & writing slump, made a lil 3d busts of my OC for funsies.

[wilbraley]

2nd mashup! I wish I got this up in time for Christmas, but... Too late for that and I'm not waiting a full year lol.

[wilbraley]

To honor Hatsune Miku in Fortnite, I'm finally posting this old mashup!

Fanart of my favorite murderous angel, Gabriel! I’m a big fan of the 6-2 fight (though I wasn’t very good at it) and I wanted to make him look badass. Poor V1 isn’t having a great time here.

A Start

'“Hajime,” he begins, and then licks his lips. Hajime, in a brief moment of weakness, glances down at them, then curses himself for being so distracted during what is most likely something serious.

He returns his gaze to Nagito’s eyes, trying to make eye contact. Nagito refuses to look up. He plays with the page in his hand, slowly creasing it and smoothing it before it leaves a mark.

He’s getting nervous just watching Nagito deliberate.

“Do you like me?” Nagito speaks into the silence.

Oh. Damn.'

or:

After a morning spent in the sun, Nagito asks a question that might just change his and Hajime's relationship.

I’m not an active part of the Mouthwashing fandom (I hardly interact with it tbh) but I’ve been thinking about an AU for a while. Is this a Good End AU, or a Bad End AU? Who fucking knows, but I think its fun!

Summary under the cut bc it’s a bit long!

Concept: at the point where Curly is surprised for his birthday, he goes to tell the crew that they’ve been laid off by the company, but they’re interrupted by a warning over the ship’s intercom: there is a damaged ship, one from their company’s fleet, nearby. Daisuke and Anya are interested in exploring it, perhaps saving any survivors, yada yada. Most negatives are reasoned with and they securely dock to the ship.

(Logistically, is this possible? IDK! Their ship might not be one that can dock to others, it might just have an entrance, but it has a docking port for this AU!)

Once inside, they see that it is a TOTAL WRECK. Everything is in disarray and decay, there’s foam everywhere (but thank god the Pony Express ships are so uniform, this ship’s layout is so close to theirs they can figure out where to go.) and half the ship is covered in empty bottles of mouthwash they find in the cargo bay. (“Damn,” they think, “these poor chumps got this beat up toting mouthwash of all things.”) Then, they find the bodies, though by this point they’re little more than bones and detritus. Unrecognizable, but with wounds that suggest crew in-fighting. (They’re set around the table in a horrific display. They cannot figure out why.)

Most of the ship is abandoned. There are seemingly no survivors. And yet, they find someone in the cryo-pod! Still alive! And it is the most injured, fucked-up person they’ve ever seen. But hey, they’re alive, so they can keep them that way. They get back in their ship and continue their journey. Perhaps they even recover the corpses of the crew in an effort to bring someone closure. Who knows, authorities ought to be able to DNA ID the bones, at least.

Of course, the ship is the Tulpar, and thats them they found. Post-game, after years of decay, but still them. By whatever means, they’ve been sent back to the past to be dealt with. (I like the idea of a wormhole, simply because thats such a time-travel cliche when it comes to space).

And because they interrupted the birthday event, none of the crew know that they’re being laid off. Curly knows about Anya, but she hasn’t told Jimmy. Jimmy is woefully in the dark, and thus doesn’t crash-out in a couple days when they pass the meteor. Speaking of, Curly and Anya are a bit busy with the injured person and the corpses (and hey! If that gives Anya a reason to stay in the medbay, well, she isn’t complaining.) Curly feels guilty he’s keeping the layoff from his crew, but they’re in a pretty odd, stressful situation right now and they don’t need that info on top of it.

Post-game Curly is having a very bad time. He’s pretty convinced, for the first good few days he’s conscious, that he’s dreaming or hallucinating. Perhaps the cryo-pod failed, and he’s slowly dying? Perhaps he’s in hell for his sins? Either way, the people he sees are figments in his eyes, and he’s falling off the deep end. After a bit, and with some coaxing, he begins to believe that it is real, but it confuses him about what is true. It isn’t until he gets confirmation that the Curly he sees is real, that the Jimmy he sees is real, that he realizes what is happening, and he tries to communicate with the crew, to warn them about the future.

(I don’t have much in mind after this point because of how open it becomes. Literally anything is possible)

Many things could happen. Maybe Anya is still nauseous about giving Curly his pills, so she has someone - Jimmy, in the worst situation - do it for her when she’s ill (he isn’t kind to the injured man, and the injured man does not respond well to him. He gets replaced by Curly, and no matter how kind Curly is the injured man seems more upset.) Maybe someone finds the layoff notice before Curly can explain to the crew. Maybe Jimmy tries something with Anya in the medbay, but Curly stops him (finally, finally doing something for her.) Maybe Jimmy tries to tell his Curly that he really doesn’t like the injured guy, that there’s something wrong with the way he looks at him, they need to do something about that. Maybe Curly can tell Anya who he is, get her to warn her Curly to beware Jimmy, to do something about him before he does something. Maybe Anya reaches out to the others before the crash. Maybe Swansea, or Daisuke figure out who the bodies are, finally realizing that there were far too many similarities in that wrecked ship to write off. Maybe Jimmy finally snaps and attempts to sabotage the ship.

Maybe it works, and the crew are once again stuck in hell, waiting for death. Maybe the crew are ready, and he fails and is dealt with.

At least Curly can try to atone for his mistakes. At least they have an opportunity to survive.

Buggy doodles!!!!!!

[wilbraley]

Fuck it im trying with godot lets see how long it lasts.

I wanna make a fangan so bad but the cases are SO HARD to write, esp to make them make sense?? I am not a mystery writer i like writing silly stories, but the ideas will not leave my head.

Doesnt help that I can’t code AT ALL so even if i wrote one i couldnt make it interactive like id want.

We’re struggling out here.

[wilbraley]

On this note what formats are the most liked? At minimum I could plan out a written one, and if I had some help/time I could do a video series.

A game would be so fun, esp bc i can make interactive visuals for it!! But renpy is too basic for it, and an RPG maker might be a bit too limited or divorced from the base material, and unless I buy the most recent one they’re kinda old. (And gamemaker and godot are free but i have no idea how to start a fangan in those i stg.) Would 3d movement be preferable? Or would a limited visual novel style with animated class trials suffice?

How would people like to see a fangan? Would a game be worth it to figure out?
