Thinking abt my dupe ocs again... Maybe Quinn does have hashtag issues actually
#rat rambles#oni posting#oc posting#theyre very well known and liked amongst all the colonies as y'know. they helped found all of them.#and theyve always been very friendly and kind and they have always taken their responsibilities incredibly seriously#and when they get time to be on a planet they relish it as they have a great deal of appreciation for the beauty of these worlds#but one thing that has always been a thing for them is that they've never rly had like. friends amongst these colonies#partially because of them having to travel constantly but even when they get time to hang out more theyve sort of unconsciously trained#themself to be a bit emotionaly detached from those around them#it also doesnt help that theyre a digger and usually one of like 2 or 3 on any given planetoid#which earlier on meant thar they rarely encountered other dupes and late on left then with little to do as most of the ongoing work was#already being managed by others specifically trained for the role#so the isolation started to get to them and they started to get rly antsy and didn't know why or how to fix it#when the printing pod went offline they were one of the ones more calm abt the matter due to them being generally more used to the unknown#and this combined with their general good reputation lead to a lot of dupes looking to them for direction and answers alongside burt#this actually made quinn feel rly good for a while since it was their excuse to actually talk to ppl regularly and in more personal ways#theyd hear out ppls anxieties and ideas and newest passions and goals and theyd actually feel like theyre hearing the words said#they liked the feeling of everyone wanting to be around them and seeking them out even on other planetoids#they'd get phone calls and people taking breaks from their work to come say hi and it made them feel real#but as time went on and their fellow dupes became more and more self reliant they began to seek them out less and less#because why bother someone so important and busy when you dont need to right?#and this lead to quinn going wait no why did you all leave me again :(#it felt like before but worse because now they actually had started considering a lot of these guys friends#and they still had no idea how to reach out themself without a work reason and as such they sorta started dissolving again#and its during this time when they start missing the pod and start to get more upset that shes gone#they end up returning to the original partially to be closer to her and partially because it feels the most like home to them#there they start to slowly learn to reach out themself as they sort of sit in a corner watching burt work while shaking like a small dog#this at first is very unwanted by burt who is stressed as hell but they end up forcing him to stick to an actual shift instead of just#working until he passes out and this allows them to hang out while they force him to have downtime with them to keep him from exploding#it becomes a nice comfort time for them both as they rly havent hung out much since the first like 100 cycles or so

Fugue!Mike, huh?
Ok here’s the deal:
I’m reluctant to mark that fic as completed because I can’t decide how I’d feel about the current last chapter being the actual end of it. Except that it kind of is..?
bUT
That doesn’t mean I don’t semi-regularly think about my Mikey, wondering what he might be up to nowadays. It’s just not the kinda stuff I would want to read as a fic myself, so I don’t feel like writing it either. But I also don’t wanna not share it, so Here We Are, I Guess :D’
Anyway! How is Fugue!Mike nowadays?
He’s... fine? Mostly? I mean, 2020 isn’t kind to anyone, but he has a boyfriend and bc neither him nor Anna felt like dealing with the publicity they’re still procrastinating their divorce and Mike isn’t publicly out. Which is fine with his bf Aaron, too, because as of now he’d rather not deal with getting into the public eye either, especially since for most of the past 2 years him and Mike had more of an on-and-off thing going instead of a steady relationship anyway.
And the reason for that is that Mike still doesn’t quite have his shit together.
He still drinks a bit too much too often, still smokes a bit too much weed too often and in general still hasn’t fully stopped manipulating his own healing. I mean, overall he did get better at not forcefully opening up old wounds and consciously obsessing over his grief on a daily basis anymore, and his therapist is having an easier life now bc he actually engages with therapy most of the time instead of just. Showing up bc it’s on his agenda and maybe talking but never listening nor working with her.
But the drinking and smoking weed and sometimes dropping off the grid for a few days without warning are all things Aaron as a single dad doesn’t really want in his life/near his daughter, so he’s been reluctant to fully invest in their relationship becoming an actual steady relationship until Mike is ready to do the same.
And then came Corona :D
And rn the 3 of them - Aaron, his 16yo kid and Mike - are in quarantine together. First bc the kid got a cough and they had to wait for test results, then bc Mike got a cough which was rly scary and nasty thx to his asthma and they had to wait for test results again and then... they were kinda used to living together and Mike leaving again would mean he’d have to self-isolate all alone so they decided he’d stay until after the holidays.
It all works out quite well atm but I think at some point they might get a bit antsy and start arguing more again, maybe when Mike gets drunk on eggnog on Christmas or something, idk.
Either way.
He’s okay rn. And his bf and practically-step-daughter are cool ppl.
