I love love love your obidala fic!! Is it still going or are you taking a break from it? :( I really hope you write more, I love regency and I love obidala, this is like the best thing ever. I'm assuming they get attached and then anakin comes back and causes yummy drama, but who was that butler guy in the end? C3po? I hope so, he's my favourite star wars character lol. But also, much as i love anakin whoooo would go for angsty teenager over obi wan like hello. He's nice, he's mature, he's calm, he won't strangle you like the pros are endless. Obidala for lifeeeee
(Ps if you have any regency book/fic recommendations that you mightve gotten inspo from pls do tell I am STARVING and so sick of rakey stories like I hate rakes I hate manwhores YUCK. Thank you 💖)
Hi Anon!
I'm so glad Unintended has brought you some joy! As far as am I still writing, the answer is a qualified yes. Yes in the sense of I definitely have not moved on from these two, and I am actively thinking about and working on Unintended as well as all my other obidala fic (was in fact doing it this morning). Qualified in the sense of I am a mom who works full-time and this particular season of life is demanding a lot of me, which is leaving less energy and time for my creative pursuits, so the progress is slow. But I am still around.
The footman at the end of chapter 3 is actually my wink and a nod to Jar Jar. I tend to seed my AUs with lots of little references to canon throughout so expect more of that.
I obviously empathize with your preference for the quiet hero. I am very much of the Colonel Brandon, Captain Wentworth, Professor Bhaer camp. Unfortunately, they are not a common kind of romantic hero (I honestly don't know why), so I don't have a lot to offer on that front, hence the fic writing.
Maybe others can chime in with their favorite quietly decent male romantic lead?

I was thinking about Cy's accent. The Crows think they're some dude from Ferelden, so they're not surprised they have a Ferelden accent (which makes their Antivan odd to listen to, even if technically fluent the accent is weird). Viago stressed on them for ages to work on that and feared sending them out of Antiva because who the fuck is gonna believe this dingdong is an Antivan Crow when they sound like they should be playing with a mabari?
Jokes on Viago though. On jobs outside Antiva, Cy adopts a perfect Antivan accent. It's a little more Antiva City than Treviso, but only an Antivan is gonna know the difference. It works fine, nobody suspects a thing. Job done, back they go, back to the Ferelden accent like nothing happened.
As Rook I think they stick with the Ferelden heavy accent because it's what they're used to using and they had into Treviso a lot - gotta keep it consistent. Harding, however, can tell there's something underneath it. They might fool the Crows but she's Ferelden. She knows. Maybe Varric knew too, thanks to the Hawke in his life.
Truth is, Cy's natural accent comes from their dads. Since they grew up in Ferelden it's mostly Denerim based thanks to dad Miris, but Papa Zev's Antivan lessons from toddlerhood on gave them what they needed to shift things a bit. It's Ferelden with an undercurrent of Antivan. When Cy is at home, this is what they default to. It's them at their least guarded and relaxed.
They might start loosening up around the Lighthouse the more at ease they get with the crew. Lucanis is going to be the last to hear it, naturally, probably post fade to black screen. Maybe by the final battle Cy just gives up and goes with what's easiest. Fuck it, if they're gonna die fighting a god, they're gonna die the weird ass Ferelden-Antivan nightmare they are.
#Cy de Riva#Cy Tabris-Aranai#i just want them to zone out at some point post game and Viago is talking to them#and they answer back in Antiva City Antivan#and it's like a glitch in the matrix moment#viago: ...#cy: hmm?#viago: i must be hearing things...

I personally don't expect to see the Ghoul and Lucy end up together since they've already set up Lucy and Maximus. My theory is the Ghoul is probably going to die at the end of the series after he figures out what happened to his family and finally rest in piece for real. He started the show in a coffin and he's gonna end the show in a coffin
I mean we can only hope 🤞🏻.
& I do love a good tragic character so love this idea you have .
#the unfortunate thing is i was burned by finn/rey set up in tfa and then ……#tbf max and lucy is more overt.#honestly i dont even need them to end up together i just need max to continue to be a fully fleshed out character who is important#to the story .#jordan talks#answered asks#anon#casting ‘we poppin the biggest bottles’ on ghoul*cy shippers#they can have fun with their ship but .#they really gotta consider if they are shunting a black male lead to the side for its sake#and to keep it online and not harass show writers and/or actors about it

can we hear about cass or soleil? :o
dhdjdjdjdj okay!!
thinking a lot about cass,, so! the them!
cass is inspired by the greek myth, cassandra. and their entire life kinda got ruined by cy (the sun god), who’s not really the best! (basically: “oh there’s a fire that’s about to burn down their city?? they got it handled uwu” “we’re dying???”) eventually cass’ mother gets upset at how he refuses to help them, even when the entire village is praying for the slightest bit of intervention. so she screams to the heavens about how unfair it all is, how idiotic.
cy takes this as well as any god would—not very! so he curses the child she’s bearing to foretell any future events; if he’s doing such a bad job, then why don’t you prevent them? let’s see your attempts. watch your child be helpless to the fates. thing is, only cass’ mother believes them—everyone else is wary and cautious, or malicious 😔.
then their mom kinda passes away and they have no one to rely on for that kind of thing. except for,, cy—who keeps hanging it over their head (via periodically descending in all his glory to check in on them + vanishing when it’s all fine and dandy.)
now cass is just. generally trying their best to get through life! (+ possibly prevent anything really awful from happening.)
#cass spends so much of their life trying to prevent or twist the fates/cy’s words. they don’t like him very much bdjd#<- cy is suspicious but if it’s not Directly interfering with him personally he just shrugs and calls it a day#pats cass. sorry. at least you get to knock him off his throne at one point?#<- to add to that: cass trying to prevent things does indeed bite cy in the ass as they help a team of people trying to overthrow him lmao#sbdjdk but anyways! thank you for asking about them :]#lantern replies#lantern’s oc pile#for the sun#cass#cy#sorry this ask was about cass but cy wiggled his way in—#also apologies for the late answer!!

the rarepair pipeline really is just (wants to see two characters interact) (the only people who make content of those two interacting are the shippers) (doesn't mind them having a romantic relationship and thus is converted into the rarepair)
#xiao.yun...... albe.qiu....... any iteration of the xq cy xl ht xin.yan yj gang that don't involve xing.yun.......#i think the minds of koko.mi x raiden shippers are very large but i honestly haven't interacted with enough ship content to rlly get a vibe#yae.sara is also something that tickles the brain mostly bc the people who write fic of them give them so much depth its very nice#x.iao x ht too tbh#like maybe i haven't read enough gen fic of them but i feel like there are so many good potential parallels and a lot of them#are only present/prominent in the ship fics between the two. bc there the writer will have a heavy interest in developing both chars and th#relationship (in the platonic and nonplatonic sense) they have w each other#idk man i'm like thinking about why i seem to ship an endless amt of rarepairs and i think the answer is just ships give people a lot of fr#freedom in imagining things#since so much fanfic is like romance geared bc the development of a relationship begets a natural plot#like yes that's probably something to take note of in fandom that there's so little nonromantic stuff that focuses on more than 1 character#but i dont mind its cute to play w characters like dolls and make them kiss kiss fall in love or whatever#as long as they're a round character and not just used for romance reasons or flattened into like 2 traits im down#ramblings!#2 clarify i honestly think those ships i mentioned are really cute im just analyzing how one could get into them (neutral connotations)

Do you leave fandoms and never look back? Or do they stay with you forever?
Hmm, I wouldn’t say I leave fandoms. Just slowly become less active as other things or fandoms take hold of my attention. But I think they all stay with me forever in one way or another. Like relationships.

Sorry in advance for the word vomit but. I love the whole Jazz-and-Prowl figuring out the language barrier but also consider:
They don't.
Prowl's been captured by Quintessons and is currently thinking of ways to completely scrape his processor so they can't get any useful data, only to get rescued by a random mech. They fight their way out (the mech is extremely proficient in combat). At first he thinks it's a drone- it looks at him when he asks questions but doesn't answer (responds to noise, not language), it is sparkless (not alive) and it makes random but entirely incoherent noises and doesn't even ping (not able to communicate). Prowl has no idea what's going on but he's too injured to make it back to base alone and it's helping him? So. He chalks it up to some waylaid stealth military asset and tries to think of ways to both get it back to base whilst also making sure it's not some sort of Quintesson Trojan-horse [10%].
Meanwhile, Jazz was sent to blow up a Quintesson command camp by his organisation but instead he got thrown through a weird portal, and found a pilot all tied down and probably being tortured so naturally he busted him out but uh. He has no idea what the other is saying. He's talking in total tonal gibberish. Not that he's judging, he's heard some stuff about how far other piloting programs are willing to go to advance neural technology. And his face! He has one! A handsome one. Must be some advanced shit because he's got micro expressions and he's using them to frown as him. Anyways, Jazz's got bigger fish to fry. The sky's a different colour, there are two suns and atmo is reading terribly low levels of O2. Maybe he and this pilot got thrown into an alien planet? Cool- well, actually pretty bad but hey they're in this together.
Prowl knows by models that they're bound to run into another Quintesson patrol eventually, and based on the drones alertness to its surroundings, his previous observations to its capacity to fight, and how it doesn't stray to far from him, if patrol numbers are favourable [1-8 range] they can survive [70, .5]% the route back to base. But the drone is reckless and abandons him to the melee (how can a drone be reckless?) and Prowl gets injured worse. Energon drips from wounds, and the angle makes it challenging for him to patch it. But the drone creeps closer, folds to its (knees? Its joints are in an odd but effective configuration) and gently (gently?) begins to mimic (clumsily) Prowl's motions of patching his wounds. Here is where Prowl falters, because drones are not so careful. Drones do not do not look up multiple times at his faceplates, and become more delicate when they see you in pain. Drones don't hold out a servo and help you to your pedes when your done. Which begs the question, if he's not a drone, so what has been done to this mech?
Jazz on the other hand is freaking the fuck out. Naturally. Because uh, he started slicing Quints, expecting Frowny to do the same because his mech was still clearly operational, only for the idiot to completely disregarded normal combat standards which can be summarised as 'fight hard or die' and instead get chewed on by some big ass teeth.
Only to see the glowing purple dripping from his torn sides, only to see that he's bleeding.
Machines don't bleed.
So Jazz figures out Frowny is an alien first. He starts pointing at himself and saying his name, insistently, until Frowny repeats it. He points at Frowny, and records and replays whatever sound bite Frowny makes until Frowny's also nodding in confirmation. He still calls him Frowny, because even though he has his name? Probably? He has no idea what it means and can't actually pronounce it (no idea how to get a mouth to move that way) but hey! Progress! He does this again and again with small things (rock, hand, cyber?animals, music (Frowny's confused at that one it's pretty adorable) ect.
Prowl has no idea what to make of this strange mech. Is he a failed experiment? A runaway from Cybertron following the Functionalists rise or power? Thennn Prowl finds out one fateful night that the mech is actually an alien organic (in a fit of misunderstandings, and squeezes him pretty hard for it ouch and feels SO guilty about it later) and suddenly the language/culture barrier makes way more sense.
Prowl's injuries degrade (a line splits). He has no way to communicate this except for the energon dripping out of his chassis. The organic is clearly worried (how did he think he was ever sparkless), and Prowl can't reach the injury himself. So he guides the mech's servos past armour and wiring, down to protoform (near his sparkchamber) to the split line. Gestures and hopes the mech can figure out what to do from his miming[#^%]. That'll he'll be careful, and won't hurt him [5%, 87%, #*%, *########%].
Frowny is later picking shrapnel stuck in his forearm that's too small for him to remove, so Jazz gets out of his mech to help with his small human hands. Jazz has no way to communicate to Frowny that if he moves, he'll sheer Jazz's limbs clean off, but he goes in anyway, because Frowny's hurt, and speckled in blood. Because he's clearly struggling and hurt and tired. Because Jazz has to trust that he won't.
Frowny's injures eventually make him collapse, and Jazz carries him the rest of the way. Jazz has no idea how they'll be received (especially considering how Frowny reacted when he found out Jazz was organic). Jazz knows he might be dissected. Knows he might be pulled apart (again) but.
He remembers all the little moments they had on their journey (Frowny shielding him from falling rubble when Jazz was out of his mech once, them getting to gesticulating arguments, Frowny's reaction to his music, how he fell asleep on Jazz once and it was fricken adorable).
It doesn't matter that Jazz can't say (barely understands) his actual name. That Frowny probably doesn't understand his. It doesn't matter that they talk in halting miming, in broken sound clips and touches and half-glares.
He's already gone out on all his limbs, might as well put his head on the chopping block. And if it causes him to lose the damn thing, well.
He's a pilot. Dying horribly is practically his job description.
OOOUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH DYING HORRIBLY IS PRACTICALLY HIS JOB DESCRIPTION,,,,,,,,,,,

How would the RO's change if they were to lose their MC?
Warning: this answer is a heavy one, with mentions of tw: suicide. Proceed with caution.
Morkai: He'd turn somber and silent. Eerily so. The man of loud voice and even louder heart would be gone, buried under a shroud of his own grief. When the MC left, they took all the animation out of him with them. Mute and empty-eyed, he waits for the final bow.
Straasa: He'd become withdrawn and reclusive. Social contact sustains him, but the one he wants is gone. Anything else feels hollow, fake, a betrayal. So he hides himself behind a brittle smile and a veil of snow around his heart. He aches for the day he will finally be reunited with the only one who can make the snow melt.
Daelynn: She does not allow herself to feel it or comprehend it. She does not allow time to force her to face it..... What is knowledge, truth, if you don't have the time or capacity to parse their meaning? She ends the conversation before reality settles in. This is pretty dark, but...Daelynn would follow right after her MC.
Eledwen: She is tired. Tired of being strong, tired of always moving forward. Tired of being alone. So, she loses herself in the memories. Time to move back. She will wander among the places of the past, places from her and the MC's life together. An unending tribute to the love she lost, her feet forever staying in motion.
Manerkol: Nothing matters anymore. Not his purpose, not kingdoms, neither dragons nor mortals. At the end of a very dark tunnel, his MC brought in the light. They were the only thing that mattered. And they're gone. So Manerkol will now keep the promise he once made to them. Wherever you go, I will follow.
Sielthan: Sielthan knows how to bring the MC back. They know the cost for it. And they're willing to pay it. Whatever they have to become, whatever they have to turn the MC into--it doesn't matter. They'll take the smallest crumb over losing the MC altogether. You can be broken and twisted together.
Rai: They become arrested in time. Frozen forever in the place when realization settled in. When they realized their MC is gone. They would withdraw. Foreswear any meaningful contact with others. Lose themself in work until they are ground to dust. Not because they care, but because it's the only way to forget.
Mornie: Any pretense at humanity would be gone. Sheer, unadulterated fury would cover everything, red and sticky and murderous. She goes on a killing spree and does not stop shredding, does not allow for anything but death--for them, for her. It is the only future left for any of them. If she lives long enough to weep, she eventually crumbles and sobs until she meets her end.
Cy: They would lose all reason. All their grand plans--everything crumbles. Feral and near delirious, they'd try anything to bring the MC back. They'd sacrifice the world to do it. There is no price they are not willing to pay. And if all fails, they follow after their MC.
Zach: They would feel like they've lost the ground beneath their feet, survived a train collision, and become a ship left ruderless. All their unshakeable confidence and passion--extinguished. All their grand works, a heap at their feet. They turn grey and old and cold. And they learn to hate.

Im joining the Obidala fandom and I read your unintended Obidala story and I gotta say, I love it!! And the artwork is beautiful!!!
First and most important ... Welcome to Obidala!!! I obviously adore this tugboat of a ship, but even moreso I adore this little corner of the fandom. We are a small but dedicated group. I just really came to Star Wars in 2022 post OWK and everyone here has truly been so lovely. Please don't be a stranger. Come flail with us. I can talk about these two endlessly in every possible permutation.
Second, isn't the art amazing?! It's not mine. The credit for all that extra yumminess that just adds to the experience goes to my bestie and writing muse @alabama-metal-man. Without whom this story would not exist.
Finally, I'm so happy you're enjoying Unintended. It's my ode to what happened to my brain when I watch OWK and became obsessed with Obidala in the exact same month I watched the first two seasons of Bridgerton, and I've been humbled by it's reception so far. I know it's been awhile since I updated, but I've been actively working on the next few parts, pulling things together from snippets that had been posted on tumblr previously and fleshing them out. It's been slow going because of work life stuff, but rest assured I have not gone anywhere and it is coming.

Rodimus sparked after a rough night of interfacing.
He figured Drift and Ratchet were just charged and drunk on high grade like he was and it was a one night thing.
Them going back to normal the next day definitely cemented that idea for him.
So when he finds himself sparked he doesn’t say anything to them.
He takes up an offer to join a ship in search of lost bots ready to return to Cybertron.
He chooses to be one of the advisors on board that helps with paperwork and in the medbay. A surprise to many since they figured he would accept being co-captain as it was offered to him.
He didn’t want a stressful position while sparked and he’d have more time for his bitty and rest as he grew and once they emerged.
Rodimus figured he’d be okay starting over on the ship seeing as it was pretty big and he would be free of seeing Drift and Ratchet.
Last he heard they were going on a honeymoon of sorts.
He sent them a gift and congratulations with no return address before departing.
His room was thankfully the size of an apartment like many of the crew aboard who brought their amica or conjunx and the few who had sparklings.
They were all older sparklings, toddlers and kids really, but he wouldn’t be the only one on board with a child.
And having Cyclonus, Tailgate and Whirl on board ready to be “Uncles” to his sparkling was definitely a treat he was happy to accept.
He could’ve done without showing so early on in his carrying but his doc said the sparkling was healthy so he could only go along with it.
Things were fine the first few days of him being on board.
Motion sickness kicked in tenfold and he suffered through purging and desk work while the meds began to work through his systems.
It was during a delivery of anti-nausea meds that he answered his hab door holding his bloated tanks with a green face and a bucket in his arm against his chassis.
“Sorry Cy, I can’t today. Lulany ( loo-luh-niy ) is kicking my aft and my meds for today aren’t here yet.”
He was saying this with his optics half functioning before they went blurry wide and he was purging in the bucket.
The silence was painfully loud.
So loud that Rodimus couldn’t help but notice it as he purged and didn’t feel Cyclonus or Tailgates servos on him. Nor did he hear whirl gag and call him disgusting and degrading names like conjunx shareware.
He still isn’t sure how they figured out the sires when he’s never given so much as hint to who they could be, but he figured so long as no one else did he was fine.
Except that he wasn’t.
Because the sires Cyclonus, Tailgate and Whirl figured out were standing right in front of him shell shocked at the sight of him.
He couldn’t exactly see them that well as the dizzy spells were starting to kick in along with another roll of nausea.
But he could see enough.
And that was far too much already.
So what did he do???
Stagger back, slam his hab shut mid purge and lock it.
Was it the best thing to do?
No.
Did he regret it?
Absolutely not.
He wanted the quickest way off this ship and he wanted by mid morning the next cycle…which is how long he would take for the purging to stop and him to wake up after passing out.
Add to this what you will 🥰
When he woke up his first thought was that it had all been some cruel horrible nightmare. There was no way Drift or Ratchet were on board. They were supposed to be on their honeymoon not here on this ship with him.
He would have known if they were onboard. Someone would have mentioned it and he definetly would have seen Ratchet in the medbay given how often he goes there. Deciding it was all some cruel nightmare he forced himself to his feet. He still felt a little nautious and went to take some medicone only to find it gone. Groaning he made his way to the medbay where he went to speak with his medic..
He waited for them to fill out his perscription when he heard the door open. He didn't bother to look until he heard Ratchet call him. He slowly looked over staring in horror as the medic walked up to him. His face was stormy and he looked pissed. He stuttered trying to find an escape when Drift appeared and grabbed his medicine.
"Hey."
Ratchet grabbed him and pulled him along with Drift following behind. He tried to rptoest and was ignored. They led him to a room with unpacked luggage still lying around.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Tailgate told Swerve who told everyone else including us that you were sparked."
"Those traitors."
He growled angry they'd betrayed him.
"Why do you think the sparkling is yours?"
He gave them a nervous look while trying not to panic.
"It wasn't hard to put the pieces together. You suddenly dissapearing after that night."
"Why didn't you tell us you were sparked?"
"I... I don't know. I was scared. I didn't think you'd want them."
"Of course we would."
Drift reassured and he began to cry."
"But you only want them. I'm sorry I'm such a burden. I know you didn't want to get stuck with me and now you don't have a choice because I'm carrying your sparklings."
He sobbed and felt two sets or arms wrap around him pulling him into a hug.
"We want both of you."
"That night wasn't a one time hing. We've wanted you for a while."
"What?"
"We were courting you long before that night."
"When you dissapeared we thought we did something wrong. That we'd hurt you somehow."
He shook his head feeling overwhelmed with emotion that he had to sit down. Dirft and Ratchet sat on either side and comforted him. They reassured him that everything would be fine.

Please remember I am trans/nonbinary, my pronouns are xe/they.
I am starting to get genuinely annoyed with people’s shocked or doubtful reactions to hearing I want to have kids in the near-ish future. And I don’t mean strangers. Strangers say weird things to me all the time lol. I mean my family, my doctors, people who have known me for decades.
My mum in particular has made several comments now ranging from just genuine shock at the mention my partner and I are planning for kids during a conversation about plans for the future (I’ve literally talked about wanting kids to her since I was a kid) to outright saying during a casual conversation that “they (referring to doctors) probably wouldn’t let me carry to term”. Over Christmas my partner also told mum that we had some news we wanted to share in person, and her first reaction was “Cy’s not pregnant are they?” My partner said no and she responded with “oh thank god!”
My sister and dad have also made similar comments. Dad has brought up valid concerns (mainly about some genetic stuff that caused complications for my mum) sprinkled with the same ableism my mum always goes to. My sister I’m willing to give a bit more leniency, since she’s the only family member I talk about my transition with and she admitted recently she thought i was already medically transitioning and she thought that made you infertile so she just assumed kids were off the table. Neither of those things are true but her doubts at least aren’t tied to my disability, just bad info.
But it’s the doctors (and other healthcare professionals) that are the most frustrating. It’s not one or two. It’s nearly every doctor. Every nurse. Every medical technician. If the subject comes up, they all have something to say about it.
I don’t want to go into pregnancy blind, I know I would be at higher risk than the average pregnant person and I want to know what those risks are before I agree to them. I want to know what recourses are available. I want to know how me being in a wheelchair will change the process of things like giving birth. I want make sure the local hospital is equip to deal with that and I won’t be having to educate people while I’m in labour or if I’m better off going somewhere else.
But every doctor I’ve tried to discuss the subject with has shut the topic down and hand waved it with “we’ll cross that bridge if we get to it”. Like it’s something I’d obviously want to avoid that I probably don’t need to worry about. Even trying to get my contraceptive replaced, get a fertility test done or even getting a damn pap smear has been a nightmare. why am I fighting to get a Pap smear??? I’m nearly 30 and still haven’t been able to get one because several doctors seem to be under the impression I’m not sexually active, even when I bring my partner into the appointment. If they say it out loud (half the time they dance around the subject) and I correct them, they are genuinely shocked, then tell me we’ll worry about that later. Nurses and other healthcare providers are no better. There’s been several occasions where I haven’t been asked the mandatory “could I be pregnant” question when going for X-rays or CT scans (and I know they were supposed to ask because if I ask to see the paperwork, it’s always there and they’ve just checked “no” without asking), or if I am asked at intake, they say something to the effect of “I know the answer is probably no, but is there any chance you could be pregnant?”
Though I take back what I said earlier, there’s one comment from strangers on this front that pisses me off, and it’s “be thankful you don’t have to deal with being pestered about having kids”.
No, I won’t be thankful when my reproductive health is ignored, my family are telling me constantly they think I shouldn’t have kids or expressing surprise that I’m even “allowed to” and I can’t even get any answers about what it would look like if I DO get pregnant. My heart goes out to the people who are harassed and pressured into having kids, and to the people whose health is ignored for the sake of them being able to have a baby. Both my mother and sister have dealt with that, my mum almost died because they didn’t want to do anything that would prevent her from having more kids she didn’t want after my younger sister was born. But BOTH things are terrible and shouldn’t be happening!
Im not unreasonable, if someone brought up a decent, genuine concern to me that wasn’t just “can someone in a wheelchair even look after a kid” or “I didn’t think someone like you even has sex” I would reconsider. If it was found I would be likely to experience serious complications for myself or the baby, I would reconsider. If I found out I wasn’t going to have the needed supports to raise a kid, I would reconsider. But everyone assumes that’s what I want. If I were infertile, or any of these things were true, I’d reconsider, but I’d be upset about it! I’ve always wanted to be a parent and if that was something that wasn’t actually possible, I would be sad about it.
But my family members talk to me about it in the same way they did when I was 10 and didn’t know where babies came from, doctors are shocked at the idea I’m even sexually active let alone thinking about children. I’m genuinely worried the people in my life other than my partner would treat any fertility issues like a good thing, or be shocked that I’d be upset if kids weren’t actually on the table anymore.

Hello! 👋 Too shy to come off anon, but LOVING the fic so far! I have a question about it
What made you decide to have King Candy's Cy-bug instincts so easily suppressable? Does it relate to his urge to have to control everything, even his own other half?
Thank you!!! 💖 And to be perfectly honest, it's because making his Cy-bug half too strong (instinctually I mean, lmao) was too difficult to seamlessly incorporate into the story I wanted to tell, and I'm lowkey a lazy writer, so I mostly made it easy for him to ignore because that was easier for me to handle in terms of storytelling, lmao. That being said, I do think it also somewhat works for his character, like you and somebody else I know has mentioned, his overwhelming need to control things could have a lot to do with him being pretty good at squashing down any unwanted feral-ness, and another person also pointed out that him being part of a group (ergo, forced to socialize a lot and maintain some sort of "reputation") gives him more of a reason to keep his instincts in check, whereas Sinistar can let loose whenever the hell he wants since he doesn't gaf about that stuff, lol.
So the short answer is, I did it for the sake of making it easier to write things the way I want to, but I also think there are enough internal and external factors that means KCB being able to control himself makes enough sense on its own. (And besides, it's not like he doesn't struggle with it at all, but it probably would've made more sense with the canon of the movie if I made his bug instincts harder for him to control. Oh well though, I'm doing it my way regardless 😂)
#Basically I didn't want to have to worry about balancing him struggling with Cy-bug instincts on top of all his OTHER issues#Text Post#KillSwitch#Asks#Wreck It Ralph#King Candy#Cybug#Sinistar

Two questions, although I’ll, kind of, only ask one, because other one would probably be spoilery asf😂
But, before that, love your IF, and your work ethic, though, if I recall correctly, there may have been like 1 or 2 typos that I’ve seen, but considering you pulled an all nighter to finish it, that can easily be overlooked, and it’s not even anything insane, since it can all be read perfectly fine, it’s just my perfectionist mind at work, so don’t mind that😂
Anyhow, my question is, if it’s not that spoilery, I just want to know, was that Cy, at the end there, kneeling beside A5? My second question would be about him, but, I’ll just be content with saying that I hope my good friend A5 makes it out, since I did try to spare him, and he seems like one of the few good ones from MC’s past. Overall, I loved the update, great work😁
P. S. You don’t have to answer this ask just yet, you can give it a few days, so as not to spoil anyone the characters and things that will appear in the update, but let folks get to play it first for themselves, so my ask is not a complete spoiler hazard😅
Slight Spoilers
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the update!
Yep, so that was Cy at the end. A bit of a cliffhanger for the update, but it seemed like the best place to end so that the next update can feel more like a complete part of the story.
No worries, I think for questions relating to updates I'm going to wait a week and then mark any questions as spoilers for another week but still answer.
Thanks for the ask!
