Tits out in hell

[escapingarchives]

happy weekend have a wip

[escapingarchives]

I’ve never really consumed vampire media in any meaningful way, so while I knew perfectly well people think vampires are hot, it’s not something I really thought about

anyway

I just binged a vampire mystery romance podcast

wow you guys were right

[escapingarchives]

peter nureyev is my ideal man because in terms of boyfriend grades he gets 10000 in enthusiasm and drama and a zero in literally everything else. a more well adjusted person would say that math does not check out. a more well adjusted person would be WRONG

I tried to put down the word "right" and spelled it wrong twice before I reached the correct one.

Which tells you everything you need to know about my mental state write rite right now.

Rita [redacted] from Penumbra please ☺️

This is probably from an older 3-sentence ask meme that I actually wound up deleting before I got the notification that this ask arrived; I tend to delete ask memes if they don't get any bites, just to declutter.

It's been a long while since I've written Rita, but I love her long tangents and rambles. It's perfect for a short meme like this.

The thing about Detective Steel is that it ain't personal: he's good people, but when he gets in his moody phase (just like the werewolves in Terror of the Fallen Moon!) he's grumpy with everyone, especially himself, so it's easier for Lil' Ol' Rita to remind herself that it ain't her messing things up again, or going too fast, or being too loud, that's just the way he is, and that's a big relief after all those jobs where people got all annoyed behind big shiny smiles until they snapped at her, because that made her all anxious and had her second-guessing every little thing until even her code looked wrong, and that just ain't right.

Nah, with Detective Steel she knows exactly what she's getting, and she knows he trusts her to do her job better than anyone else, and he don't need to understand it neither, and that makes her feel a whole lot more safe than she does anywhere else (you know, emotionally-- though that one time some gangster tried to grab her the guy wound up in the hospital and Detective Steel took her out for ice cream after, so really she's feeling pretty safe physically, too).

So when the choice comes up and it's either sticking with him or with the HCPD, it ain't really a choice at all: Detective-- no, it's Mistah Steel now, and she'll take him flaws and all, cause she can trust he'll do the same.

Decided I wanted to doodle some John carrying Arthurs, then it swiftly turned into Arthur waking up and choosing squirmy violence.

Commission - Grief | Regret

[escapingarchives]

Starlings are migrating, sometimes invasive birds who evolve and grow in groups and do not like solitude - they're also known for their imitation talents as they can imitate nearly every other birds and sometimes other species entirely.

hi! for a prompt, Juno or Peter getting captured on a heist?

This one was fun~

Keep reading

Au where instead of only losing his eye, Juno goes blind

Some body horror in this one.

Keep reading

Consider: Mick Mercury finally meeting Juno's mysterious boyfriend and somehow completely clocking the fact that he's a criminal based on vibes only, BUT. Mick is completely wrong about what type of criminal Nureyev is.

Cue hijinks where Mick tries to convince Juno that his hot boyfriend clearly must be the mafioso-like head of a city wide organized crime unit. He assures Juno he doesn't think Nureyev would ever hurt him, it's clear he loves the detective, but what if he's secretly planning to kidnap every pet in the city for ransom money?

Juno tries to dissuade him. Nureyev thinks it's hilarious and subtly leans into it when Mick brings it up.

[escapingarchives]

what do you mean I can't find a single Alessandra Strong/Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev smut fic? you're telling me nobody's thrown the canon timeline completely out the window for the sake of Juno getting absolutely wrecked by two of the universe's biggest baddies??

[escapingarchives]

Rita! I love her so much. She deserves more love ✨️

[escapingarchives]

quick survey but who would be interested if i were to reject all external and self-imposed responsibility & instead post a fic abt juno steel

[escapingarchives]

god this was dated to almost a year ago it's just been sitting in my phone notes for that long

Sasha Wire isn’t actually very good at her job in this essay i will

Mostly bc DM is canonically a mess and their priorities are fucked

Sasha’s exam in Day that wouldn't Die is less about being cool under pressure and more about obedience, seeing how far dm can push her

Burgess praises her for calm under pressure but last time i listened to it i was like ‘no she’s rattled pretty hard this whole time and not actually hiding it that well??’

and i wasn't entirely sure how deliberate that was but it has occurred to me that im gay for the piranha but not sasha so i think there's something to 'palpable distinction in self-assurance in those characterizations'

oh my god what if Burgess promoted her bc he thought she was just competent enough to survive the agents trying to kill her but enough of a rules person/enough of a moral core to not try to actually kill him for his job only for it to backfire massively because she understands the framework well enough and got enough brainrot to work on excising her moral core and qed kill him for his job

wait that'd be a fascinating parallel to Buddy hiring Nureyev but wanting him to keep and cultivate his moral core for what it could bring to her family and its goals and aims

Juno might have been obnoxious and egocentric about Dark Matters’ whole deal but he wasn’t Wrong

Like Sasha excels within the framework of their expectations but that’s not the same thing 

they’re all too fuckin paranoid to be actually competent

qualified agents killing each other for career advancement is something I sort of took as a genre bit in Day that Wouldn’t Die but it also fits in a horrifying implications way as a massive waste of time and resources and straight up just a bad way to run things

I get that the rita minute isn’t canon/was intended for amusing miscommunication tropes but sasha basically shows her hand real quick in perceiving Rita as a threat instead of reading the room and it’s fairly consistent in her behavior and also agent G’s in cyberbots

they nearly blow the Carte Blanche capture with too many rookies in the mix

they’re damgerous sure but intimidation and paranoia isn’t the same as competence 

honestly no wonder Nureyev thought being Rex Glass was hilarious 

dealt with? accounted for??? I’ve euphemisms to go around!

And Sasha’s like ‘i can fix it’ but it’s basically like queen mira ‘we gotta be more paranoid and more dangerous’ with the result that they just get more stupid and stuck about it
