'Come on, let's get him some help, yeah?'

This is for all Verstave fic writers

On my first Verstave art they were almost kissing so it’s time for a proper kiss 😌💖

Still thinking about this.

Gustave was an engineering PhD student when there was a lab accident. He lost his arm, and twenty other people were killed in the fire that burned down the building. Overcome with immense survivor’s guilt, he almost lost himself while he was still recovering in the hospital. But Emma got him a job as lighting engineer at the opera house, and he slowly discovered his new passions.

Verso was picking up his sister from a school field trip to the local university’s science lab when an explosion took out half the third floor. Verso wasn’t fast enough, and Alicia was among the fatalities. Verso also died that day, but his parents, overcome with grief, couldn’t see it. His mother became a shell, his father distant, his remaining sister vengeful. He goes through the motions of living, but knowing he tried and failed to save his sister has darkened his soul… until he meets the engineer who manages to light up more than just the stage

Verstave AU where Gustave is the head lighting engineer at his local opera house, and Verso is the pianist for the Lumiere Philharmonic.

Sophie got him the job after the accident at his laboratory that lost him his arm and his apprentice. He’s seen Verso play hundreds of times but has never actually talked to him… until he falls asleep in the booth late one night and wakes up to a lone piano playing in the dark opera house….

I’m probably migrating back to this platform following the TikTok situation.

Expect more from me, and my new hyper fixations. Good to be back.

Trump is probably going to remove the TikTok ban shortly after his inauguration and secure a chunk of the youth vote.

John and Arthur.

Ngl, this is probably my 9th edition for John, designing him was an absolute struggle. But I'm quite happy with how they both turned out :D

[noblegambit]

One of my favorite things about Arthur and John’s weird relationship is their refusal to properly delegate.

In quite literally every other shared-body story in the history of mankind, working together in tandem with each other would be one of the very first things attempted.

Sure we have “ORTHUR, Jesus Christ orthur they’re dead. They’re all dead. FUCK orthur, it’s Thomas the Tank Engine. He’s staring at you orthur. There’s blood everywhere- WE NEED TO GO-“ etc etc, but that doesn’t count. They fail every single Quick Time event that crosses their path because sometimes John will deliver information, sometimes Arthur will make an action, and neither will happen at the same time.

They both act like they’re just standing very close to one another. They have the problem solving capabilities of two people losing a three legged race.

They are tasked with minding a lighthouse flame upon pain of mysterious and creepy monster-death and god forbid BOTH of them pitch in at the same time. Could you imagine either of them being that reasonable? Their hearts would give out under the strain.

Instead tweedlestupid with one hand and zero eyes minds the light while tweedlestupider with one hand and two eyes dedicates every sense available to the crusade of maintaining their back and forth pre/post/current divorce level bitching.

But even before that, the way they chose to tackle the feat of driving was as insane as it was hilarious. That’s when I knew they were incurable morons and deserved to be stitched together on the celestial plane for the rest of their arcane lives.

Tldr: You could merge the consciousness of any other two souls on this planet together and get a more immediately capable pair. That’s how you know they’re soulmates.

TMA: A swear? I might be an eldritch monster, but that is unacceptable. We aren’t here “effing” and “jeffing” like a common street harlot! This is the Institute, dammit! We have decorum!

Malevolent: ARTHUR YOU MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH

[noblegambit]

If the podcast ain’t about a stressed-out British man who doesn’t know what the hell is going on, then I don’t want it…

[noblegambit]

malevolent is a very fun flavor of unreliable narrator. narrator who you're in a situationship with. narrator who doesn't know what owls are and gets scared of your reflection. narrator who refuses to narrate when he doesn't want you to find your keys

[noblegambit]
