#I need to get a hobby besides robots

[lycoristyx]

It's April 1st here which means I am legally required to be silly now, so take a Duck Shuffler (until I come back to normal again tomorrow)

TFA Autobots reacting to SO collecting robot model kits?

(im thinking Op specifically but go nuts) 👉👈

Thank you for your request! English is not my main language so I'm sorry if I make any mistakes!

TFA Autobots React to Their Human S/O Collecting Robot Model Kits

[Autobots (Optimus' team) x GN!Reader]

🔥 Optimus Prime

He notices the model kits with a curious look at first, a little uncertain.

“You’re really into… robots, huh?” he asks with a small, slightly awkward smile.

But when you tell him you started collecting long before meeting him—and that now, no plastic version could ever compare to the real thing—he freezes, his optics widen, and then… he chuckles softly.

“…You really know how to make a bot blush.”

Later, if he sees you assembling a model of him, he might glance at it quietly… and then strike the same pose in real life while pretending it’s a coincidence.

🛠️ Ratchet

“Model kits? Bah. What’s the point of fiddlin’ with tiny pieces when you’ve got the real thing right here?” he grumbles.

But when he sees you carefully clipping, painting, and fitting parts together with your deft fingers, he finds himself quietly impressed.

“You’ve got good hands,” he mumbles. “For such a tiny thing.”

You mention you've made one of him, and he instantly demands to see it.

Ends up squatting nearby, arms crossed, giving "helpful" (and very bossy) advice.

“That part’s upside down. No, not that shade—use this one. That’s closer to my actual paint job.”

He won’t touch it—he’s too scared he’ll break it—but he’ll hover like a grumpy old guard drone.

💪 Bulkhead

“Oh wow!! Look at all these tiny lil’ bots!! They’re so cute!” he exclaims, his massive frame practically lying down to peer into your display shelf.

When you warn him not to touch anything, he immediately backs off with wide eyes.

“O-oh! Sorry!! Didn’t mean to break your treasures! They’re just so cool…”

Then he spots one that vaguely resembles him and gasps.

“That one’s me!! Right!? It’s gotta be!!”

He gets ridiculously happy, and later? He secretly crafts a tiny badge with his own name and places it beside that model like a proud little kid.

He also starts asking if he can be part of your collection too.

“I promise I’ll stand real still! Like a statue!”

🌸 Prowl

He watches your hobby with quiet interest, eyes following the movement of your hands as you assemble piece by piece.

“There’s something meditative about this, isn’t there?” he says, voice low. “A miniature reflection of order and discipline.”

You gift him a model of a sleek samurai-style mech.

“I thought this one looked a bit like you.”

He takes it with delicate fingers, silently examining it for a long time.

Then softly murmurs, “If I had only ever existed like this… I wonder if you still would have loved me.”

He stays beside you in meditative silence while you build. Doesn’t speak—but his gaze? Always watching. Always warm.

⚡ Bumblebee

“Wait, WHAT!? You collect robots!? That’s so cool!! Is there one of me!? Please say there’s one of me!!”

He’s bouncing on his feet, practically vibrating with excitement.

You try to tell him to be careful and not touch anything, but he pouts dramatically.

“…Sooo you were into plastic robots before me?” he asks, suddenly sulking.

You reassure him that he’s way better than any model kit.

Instant mood switch. He beams.

“Yeah!! 'Cause I talk and move and do this—TA-DA!!” He strikes a heroic pose next to your shelf.

Starts showing off every time you're building.

“Need a reference model? I can hold that pose forever if you want. Take pics. Frame them. Worship me a little.”

i would sell my soul for more 90s au hcs...

thanks for the soul, here are more headcanons!

Jay and Nya 100% do that thing where you call the radio station and request a song and dedicate for another.

Nya pierced her ears at home with Kai's help. Those got infected. But the multiple earrings looked pretty cool once they healed!!

Kai also pierced Zane's ear.

Skylor and Cole also pierced their own ears too but they knew what they were doing.

I have established that Kai also has a gig cutting others' hair from time to time (mostly when he needs money to go to a concert or such or just because someone needs a haircut and he offers himself to do so) but before he could start charging for this he had to practice, and when he couldn't practice on himself because his hair was too short, he'd bring in Nya. And she let him. Which led to her bob cut phase you see here

She really dislikes this phase but sometimes wish she could have it short again (but cut better as now Kai know's what he's doing and she can afford an actual hairstylist if he fucks it up again)

Cryptor and Echo love sneaking into movies.

Kai and Lloyd always forget to rewind movie tapes before giving it back to rental stores.

Nya can't keep a tamagochi alive for more than three days or so.

They do parking lot hang outs or just straight up hanging out inside a convenience store.

Jay and Kai are secretly fans of Spice Girls (Skylor and Nya know about this).

The boys do talk about making a band one day... (since Kai and Lloyd play guitar, Jy plays bass, Cole plays the drums and Zane plays the keyboard as a hobby).

Morro really wants to adopt a cat once he gets to live by his own (has a room in the college dorms and they dont accept cats there).

he also lives relatively close to Lloyd so they constantly hang out.

Arin is a regular at Comix Doom Store and has this admiration for Lloyd like in the show, but here is just 'cause Lloyd seems like the "cool teen".

So Arin has similar hobbies to Lloyd, trying to mimick him.

Same thing with Frak, but he looks up to Cole and Nya the most. He skateboards like her and tries engaging in the same music stuff Cole's into.

Kai has a CD he burned titled "Red Sky" which only has songs that remind him of Skylor (no one besides Lloyd knows about it and he only knows it because he saw it in Kai's CD player once and got the wordplay).

Lloyd, Nya and Jay have gone to the ER together many times because they both skate (i mean, Lloyd and Nya skateboard and Jay skates) and get hurt a lot while doing so.

Wyldfyre, Kai and Nya are distant cousins.

Skylor and Chad (from the Ninjago Movie) are siblings, and he looks up to Kai a little bit (kinda like Arin looks up to Lloyd).

Nya is in two different school clubs (swimming and robotics club respectively). She also engages in surfing a lot, too.

Pixal is also in her school's robotics club and also has IT and computer science classes (Zane does too but it's separate from high school and more of a special interest).

Every day of the departed/halloween, Zane and Pixal wear matching costumes (which are usually references to super old movies and literature, but it's mostly noir)

Cole has a gig at a gay club as a DJ. Most people don't know, and those who know, won't say anything (because it's the 90s and if you knew who was in a gay club it meant you were there too)

His favourite band is Korn.

Morro's major in college is

He surprisingly enjoys this course :)

I can see Pixal liking sci-fi in this AU.

Skylor has sketched those "K + S" on her school notebooks and cheesy stuff like that. She hides it at all costs.

oooookay i think it's getting pretty long and i realy need to go to bed so hope you like it!!

[public-relations-representative]

finally getting brave enough to use this blog. hopefully will keep using it i make 0 promises though

anyway. BEHOLD. my winston headcanon designs

more extensive thoughts/headcanons and doodles belowww

i know a lot of people dont agree but as far as im concerned, shes always been a skelecog. she was built specifically for COGS inc pretty much as is

besides the radio head. that happened later, but still before they made moves into toontown. yes hes been a part of the company that long

has actual radio functions built into them. the intent is for him to be able to tap into existing radio broadcasts as a literal live advertisement. insidious!

i dont have many thoughts on this design because this is borderline "canon" winston. besides the eyelashes. which they should give him canonically.

no i havent figured out what the dagger is logically. its just a part of her ok

i guess i could talk about personality headcanons but i wont. yet. i need some content for other posts if i want to keep this blog alive

winston is in the dungeon for a LOOOONG time. im talking over 5 years baby. id make her more visually fucked up but i dont want to make details mcgee more complex to draw

if i was powerful id make more of her visually broken and those joint problems external in some way. thats for someone else to do though

several of her other not visible functions are long broken; plenty of her internal systems have long gone non-functional, including her radar, propellor, and ability to access some of her internal databanks (ie: memory)

her balance, visual and audio processors (sight/hearing) and control of her limbs fail occasionally too. her voicebox is broken (we know this) but it hasnt entirely failed.

system errors are effectively like an abscence seizure. BSOD for robots, basically

if im being realistic the whole glitching through walls shouldnt exist with how seriously im taking him. but it does anyway because i like fun

WHEELCHAIR WINSTON

this idea has lived rent free in my head for years its about time i got round to this

anyway while shes in the dungeon they do just effectively get fired on paper after a while; so when they show their face back up for real, he does just get fired officially for reals

he ends up finding refuge with old friends; william and alton. im not getting into my awesome dynamics with them here but they were close before the dungeon happened

he gets semi-patched up by will, whos learned some level of self maintenance thanks to his horrible leaky suit. will isn't familiar with skelecog maintenance though, so he could only fix some of his simpler problems

besides the external patch-ups, shes managed to get some simpler system fixes from him, enough to at least help with the frequent system errors and the glitching problems. theyre both still present, but not as severe.

everything else is still a problem though. in fact, some of them have gotten worse, particularly with his arms and legs. theyre prone to fail on a moments notice, and she tends not to go far without some sort of mobility device after a while.

IN SUPER DENIAL ABOUT BEING FIRED. he takes up a bunch of hobbies to keep himself busy now they dont have a job and makes herself a scarf in bootleg sellbot colours so they can pretend. they have to go through an arc before getting over that sorry.

can you tell this is the thing ive put the most thought into

okayyyyy thanks everyone who actually read alla that biiiiieeeeee

Electrified Love (An April Fools Story)

Baymax

Hey pookie I got mail 💌

Part 1 | Part 2

Warnings: IDK ILL DO WHEN I FINISH. Enjoy. Please um this is the shittest thing I've written.

Everyone was gone, only the light in your workshop was on. You were working on your latest invention -well if you could call it that- in reality you were failing all your classes; this was the last ditch effort to stay in his uni.

All you needed to do was twist the last bolt tight then you could leave. However, as you went to do that the end of the wrench snapped off and clanked on the floor.

"UGH come on!"

You held your head in your hands while tears welled up in your eyes, this really needed to work. Scouting the area, a wrench glared at you on the other side of the workshop, Hero never cleans anything. You walked over and picked it up; the chill of the metal froze your hand. His brother's initial was drawn on the bottom, it brought out guilt in the pit of your stomach, but he wasn't the one on the brink of getting kicked out.

As you retreated back to your corner, turning the wrench in your hand while walking. A heavy box caught your foot, you tumbled forward face first onto the floor. Pain exploded throughout your body, great it was just what you needed to end your day.

It came to you to just lay there for the rest of the day, to give up and hand in your letter of apology for wasting their time by attending- A soft tone came from a red box, before a quick "Power on." robotic voice. Huh? Oh no. Not Hero's stupid marshmallow man.

"Hello I am Baymax." He put his palm facing you and slowly waved. "you are in pain"

"Yea you're kinda stating the obvious." You growled out, still feeling the ache from your body.

He waddled until he reached beside you. No warmth came from him, he was a robot so that was a given, he reached his hand out and you grabbed it pulling yourself up.

"Is there... Anyway I can. Help?"

"Can you do repairs?"

"Yes I can repair people's outsides and insides." He stated

"No. I mean machines, can you? Screw a bolt in"

"I am. Sure I can be of assistance."

That last bolt was a killer, his plushy outside wouldn't serve in the strength department, but it was better than nothing. So, you took him to your mess of an invention, handing him Hero's wrench. He grabbed it in-between his index finger and thumb. Then repeatedly banged it on the bolt.

That was, unsurprising, he was a medic robot not a mechanical one. The sound of metal was eager to give you a headache.

"STOP!" you shouted. "Just. Stop." You plopped on the floor in defeat.

He dropped the wrench on the table before gliding next to you.

"Humans (when in distress) require another presence to alleviate the worries and doubts, so there. There." He said while patting your head.

"Im going to cry if you carry on" you threatened with your head folded into your lap. "You aren't really a person, and I doubt anyone is here at this time, so are there any easier ways to calm down." As your voice was muffled, it took the robot quite a while to decipher your needs.

"A good way to... Calm down, for humans, is slow and steady sexual intercourse with a loved one." He stopped petting you, and you lifted your head to look at him.

You chuckled. Was he serious? There was no one in this floor who had any experience in the bedroom. I mean, it was a school overflowing with nerds, who would rather do maths as a hobby, than touch another human being.

"There's no one on this floor dumbass. Only you and me." You flicked your arm to show the emptiness of the workshop.

"I am sure I. Can be of assistance."

"Urgh. What the fuck, do you even. I mean. do even have a penis?" A quick check of his underside proved that he didn't. How was he going to help, and there was no way in hell your first time was going to be with a medically trained robot.

"No I do not have any , I am a non gender confirming being, I am only a piece of machinery to aid others."

"uh huh. So how are you going to assist me if you are only a chunk of metal."

"I can help with my. fingers." He brought up one blob of his suit, and wiggled it in your direction.

You know what. You'd try it, not because of some weird fetish but just because it sounded like a dumb idea, and if you were going to get kicked out anyway, so wth who cared.

He lifted you on the table then tapped your head, urging you to lay down. Nothing screams romantic like the constant whirring of a fan tucked into his white suit to keep him, alive? Could you even say that for a robot?

He carefully pulled down the band of your tights, with his large fingers gliding against the heat of your core. The underwear was next, he took both items of clothing then folded them, and placed them beside your head. Well you couldn't really ask a robot to be sexy.

You opened your legs and rolled your eyes, something told you this wasn't going to be the best sex you would ever have had. He ployed around your hole with the tip of his finger, never making an attempt to slip in or rub your clit to relieve some pressure.

"Can you. Like um actually make me cum at some point today."

"I, because of the code in my system, cannot make someone cum."

"Urgh forget it!"

You got off the table and pressed his off button, he retreated back to his red box as you gathered your clothing and got dressed. You'd work on your invention tomorrow, right now you need to go home and think about what you were about to do.

As you were cozying up at home your phone rang, hero's name popped up on the screen. Strange.

"Hello?"

"What is Wrong with you!"

"Stop screaming it's late."

"Why the FUCK. Would you fuck my robot. My brother died before he could finish that thing and you just tried to sleep with it."

Oh Shit.

Spider-Wolf Au Headcanons Cause I’m Slowly Writing This Chapter

Spider-Wolf Au Enid is very smart with things like robotics and tech, though she struggles with subjects she’s bored in like history. (Because someone needed to make her web shooters and I love this). On nights when she was supposed be with pack doing stereotypical werewolf things, she stayed home with her father and worked in his shop. (Because Enid deserves a good parent who encourages some of her interests) She developed a love of engineering and showed brightness for it at a young age. This is how Enid’s bond with her father grew to be so strong. (he is getting uncle ben-ed) She loves spending time tinkering with new costume ideas and new web shooters. All her webs are colorful and glittery but the material is biodegradable and disappears fairly quickly. On full moons, she usually spends her time in the robotics room tinkering very late at night.

I raise you nerdy outgoing Enid because what lesbian rule says you can’t be a femme who likes make up AND like to get your hands dirty while giggling about how cool pink webs will look. She has duality, versatility, and probably the worst sleep schedule known to human kind.

Bonus: Wednesday listens to Enid rant about her latest projects from robotics club. Wednesday is surprised when she learns Enid has a passion for it, but is quickly very endeared because Enid smiles so bright when she talks about her hobbies.

Bonus bonus: Enid takes her goth roommate (gf) to robotics club, antics ensue. Enid is the only one who will go near Wednesday but she doesn’t notice, she’s too busy rambling and showing Wednesday around. Their shoulders are glued together obviously. Wednesday just nods and hums but Enid loves that she listens because nobody else really lets her just fire off like this besides Yoko.

Super Indulgent Canon x OC Ship, Part 2: Cueball and Bō

Time for the second indulgent ship post!! Nerd x jock gay pairing, except the jock is also a nerd, lol

Before I get too deep in the weeds, shout out to @mechanical-magician’s ship of Pluto (one of their own Devil Theory OCs) with CUE.mp4 (their version of the cue ball DOT EXE guy). That was the inspiration for me to do the same with my own OCs, hence this post.

Admittedly at first I was like, “Yeah, that probably wouldn’t work with my guys,” but then I went down a thinking rabbit hole and realized, “Wait, this could work actually??”, and now here we are! \o/

Okay so first let’s start off with the setup of how they got together! This should be a lot shorter than what I have for Vinyl and Nunchaku. Though only because they don’t know of each other before the game happens, lol

So after the events of the game, there’s a meeting at the BRC hideout for Reasons (there’s a whole fic for that, but just assume it’s a bunch of the city’s crews meeting on friendly terms). By this point Sai had left/been kicked out of Devil Theory and joined BRC. The rest of DT are there for the meeting, but also to check on Sai and catch up with him (they’re still friends with him even after he joined a new crew).

At some point, Cueball and Bō get to talking, and they end up bonding over shared interests in computers. Bō has an IT job and likes to work with computers/programming as a hobby too, while Cueball used to have a software job before eventually quitting and then doing it as a hobby too. The stuff they talk about goes over everyone else’s heads, lol

Though admittedly Bō is surprised that Cueball is being so friendly with him. Given, y’know, he’s still in DT and what they did to earn their bad reputation. Cueball says that the way he sees it, DT already got their karma in the form of being almost killed by Faux. Not to mention FUTURISM and pretty much the rest of New Amsterdam’s writers are breathing down DT’s neck to keep out of major trouble from now on. So Cueball just doesn’t think there’s any need to pile on more animosity on top of that. Besides, he thinks Bō is a pretty nice guy when he’s not “in character” as a member of DT!

Bō doesn’t quite believe Cueball about that, but after hanging out at the BRC hideout until the end of the day, he ends up accepting that Cueball was being genuine. Not to mention, he really enjoys have someone to talk to about computer stuff in real life like this!

From then on, they’re friends! Well, neither of them say they’re friends out loud, but it’s pretty obvious to everyone else. They play games online sometimes, chat via text, Cueball lets Bō vent to him about Bō’s job every now and then, if Bō visits the hideout like before Cueball immediately zeroes in on him so they can hang out together, etc.

Obviously as writers they’re still competing against each other, but their friendship stuff is “off the clock”, so to speak. Everyone else is cool with it as long as they’re not like, talking about crew secrets or something. :P

After a while, Bō develops a crush on Cueball because of how well they’re getting along. That being said, he doesn’t want to make things awkward. Plus, Bō has had relationship/dating issues in the past, and hereallydoesn’t feel like trying his luck right now.

Meanwhile, Cueball is completely oblivious, though mostly because he can’t understand why anyone would want to genuinely date himself. That is to say, Cueball has also had problems with dating in the past. Mostly people not looking past him being full-cyber and treating him like a robot… or otherwise, they have a robot fetish and are only interested in Cueball because of that.

It got to the point where now he’s given up on finding love. If asked about it, he says it’d be nice but he’s not interested at all.

Bō has actually asked at one point, and finds the answer saddening but at the same time respecting Cueball’s feelings and keeping (or trying to keep) his own feelings hidden.

At one point, Cueball is sent to Pyramid Island to help with throwing up more graffiti for BRC’s rep. He actually tries to “friendly” fight Bō, like actual punches and kicks and stuff. Bō has been telling him about how he and the rest of DT learned to fight mostly from watching martial arts movies and wrestling shows, so that’s where Cueball got the idea to try it out. Bō refuses to engage, mostly because he’s worried that he might hurt Cueball badly. To which Cueball responds, “WTF dude! I’m made of tougher stuff than you think!!”

During this, Cueball starts to suspect Bō is hiding something and says as much. Bō assumes Cueball knows about his crush and freaks out, trying to outright run away!

They have a bit of a tumble, and after that they talk things out. It turns out Cueball just thinks Bō wants to officially be friends with him! Bō is kinda dumbfounded by this (especially since they’ve basically been acting like friends before now anyways??) but just rolls with it. Sure, officially friends!

Bō is still awful at actually hiding his crush, and Cueball eventually notices… but then is in denial about it for a long while until Mesh convinces him to just go for it.

Some context, I imagine Mesh as the type to end up being friends with everyone, and him and Cueball end up being particularly good friends. Mostly because Cueball is a painfully lonely guy outside of DOT EXE and BRC. He doesn’t even have any online/long-distance friends.

Anyways, Cueball still can’t imagine anyone having a crush on him, so he’s worried he’s just overthinking things despite Mesh’s encouragement. So then he decides to really overthink things by coming up with an elaborate(?) plan to see whether or not he and Bō are compatible!!

The plan is to have Bō help Cueball get upgraded so he can listen in on police signals without detection (i.e. to avoid what happened to Eight Ball). Bō agrees, and thus they work together on it. The focus is mainly on upgrading Cueball’s software, though eventually they also have to upgrade some of the internal hardware that Cueball uses.

Cueball himself keeps an eye on how Bō reacts to/handles the problems they run into, and also how well they get along during this project. Cueball is surprised to find himself having fun working with Bō on this. Especially since, upgrading himself like this was something Cueball had been meaning to do after the events of the game. He’s just been putting it off because he dreaded the idea of doing all this work by himself.

During their work, Bō still has a crush on Cueball, but he’s not up for confessing it. Meanwhile, Cueball is realizing he’s starting to fall for Bō too. This makes him paranoid that he’s going to screw things up and scare away Bō, but he’s doing his best to try and keep things under control (mainly, making sure he doesn’t panic externally).

At one point, Bō manages to sneak some full-cyber internal parts from his job. They’re for the upgrades they need for Cueball’s hardware I mentioned earlier. Essentially, they had hit a block where the software is doing the best it can, it’s just the hardware that’s limiting how well it can actually work.

Externally, Cueball says he’s impressed that Bō would go that far for “a friend”, and Bō tells him it’s nothing (Bō is blushing while saying this, but Cueball politely pretends not to notice, lol). Internally, Cueball thinks this might as well be a marriage proposal for Bō to risk his own job like this.

After further changes, they finish the upgrades! They proceed with field testing, making sure it’s actually working as intended. So far it does seem to be working fine, with Cueball even managing to change a signal or two without the cops even noticing (basically confusing the cops with garbled messages, Bō warns him not to push his luck too much).

However, Cueball eventually finds a signal he can’t read nor change. To Bō’s confusion, this mystery signal starts annoying Cueball enough to try and force his way to access the signal. Bō tries to stop him, but feedback from the weird signal causes Cueball to get knocked out (and some of the hardware in his head gets fried too; he later describes it as the signal somehow “fighting back” against him).

(The mystery signal will be resolved in a separate fan fic thingamajig, this is the Cueball x Bō post :P )

Anyways, Cueball is rushed back to the BRC hideout where Bō tries to fix him. Eventually Cueball wakes up, but Bō is pissed and demands to know why Cueball would push himself like that. Cueball starts off by saying that though they worked together, overall Bō did most of the work, especially with figuring out how to get past the problems they were having He didn’t want it to look like Bō’s work still had its flaws, even if they already made it pretty far.

Oh also Cueball admits he loves Bō, and didn’t want him to be disappointed that there was one more problem with what he was working on.

Bō thinks it over (with Cueball getting nervous from the silence) until he eventually says two things:

One, he makes Cueball promise to never try something like that again, especially since he thought Cueball had outright died from what happened.

Second, he finally confesses he loves Cueball back!!

Afterwards, they get Cueball fixed up, including replacing the hardware components that got fried. Cueball thanks Bō by helping him cause some at his workplace, basically hacking certain systems to cause havoc and allowing Bō to have a “good” reason to leave.

Long story short he was the only person in his department really doing any work, and he even got pulled around to work on other teams. The higher-ups were aware of how much Bō was being overworked, but instead of fixing things, they insisted on keeping Bō around as a “critical employee”. They wouldn’t even let him quit, refusing any reason Bō tried to come up with, especially since they asked for proof like signed doctor’s forms and stuff like that.

It wasn’t until the hacking that Bō finally had something that his bosses couldn’t ignore! Especially since he also warned them about security flaws in their systems (which is how he directed Cueball to attack them), so he quits on the grounds that the company is “clearly willing to put their employees in danger”.

So then Bō and Cueball start dating after that, huzzah!!

With all that establishment done, now it’s time for their lovey-dovey activities!~

The biggest hobby they share besides computer stuff is video games! Trying out both multiplayer stuff they can play together, as well as one person playing a game he hasn’t played before but the other has. For example, Bō playing through Super Mario 64 and Cueball helping him with it if he gets stuck.

On the note of SM64 in particular: Bō thought the murder piano was from a ROM hack. He freaked out once he learned that wasn’t the case after getting too close to it. It didn’t help that the level already has a creepy atmosphere before getting to the room with the piano! Anyways, he handed the controller back to Cueball and had him finish the rest of Big Boo’s Haunt, loool

Kinda like what happens with Nunchaku and Vinyl, Bō ends up getting Cueball into anime! Cueball enjoys the usual shonen/popular animes, but he also gets more invested in mech series than Bō did (since Bō mostly just collected the cool figures without watching their origin shows much). On the bright side, Cueball chatting with Bō about certain mech series, especially about their themes and story arcs, gets Bō more genuinely interested in them too!

In the opposite direction: Cueball gets Bō interested in Western sci-fi/fantasy stuff! Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the like. Most of the actual stories are kind of hit or miss with Bō, though he ends up at least interested in the worldbuilding and lore for a lot of them.

Eventually Bō gets invited to DOT EXE’s D&D nights alongside Cueball. The DOT EXE D&D games are another headcanon from @mechanical-magician, it’s such a fun idea!

Bō ends up saving Cueball a lot during these games. Which is a good thing, Cueball normally has lousy luck and has his character die within the first few sessions of a campaign. After a while of this, he starts referring to Bō as his good luck charm for D&D. :3

Cueball teases Bō and plays small pranks on him, very harmless silly stuff compared to the pranks he’d do for other people. Basically making sure they both have fun with it!

Bō also tries to do the same sort of thing back to Cueball. Not really in terms of pranks, but definitely the teasing. He’s found he can make Cueball pretty flustered with enough flirty compliments too, hee hee.

They are the boyfriends who can do maintenance on each other!~ Cueball helping repair/check Bō’s cybernetic legs when needed, and Bō making sure Cueball’s internals and code are running fine.

One time Cueball joked, while his torso was open because Bō was replacing some hardware components in there, “Y’know, I bet some people would find this super romantic.” Considering what was happening is more equivalent to a vivisection/surgery than anything else, Bō isn’t sure he wants to meet whoever thinks this type of thing is “romantic”, lol

Cueball can’t eat of course, but like I mentioned at the end of my big DOT EXE post, he does know how to cook! So then that means cooking for Bō a lot, including for date nights. He also quickly learns about Bō’s preferences: favorite foods and dishes, disliked flavors and textures, etc.

So once they start dating after the events of the game, the topic of their ages comes up at some point. Bō is 31 and Cueball is 43 (with Cueball having gone full-cyber at some point in his early 20s). Admittedly, Bō was expecting Cueball to be younger than himself by a few years.

Bō actually has a preference for older men anyways, but admits his relationship with Cueball is a bit different than what he’s used to. Which is, the older man being more experienced with relationships and stuff. Meanwhile this is Cueball’s first (genuine) romantic relationship and he has no idea what to do at the beginning. And a couple more times later on in their relationship too. :P

On that last note! Cueball sometimes ends up overthinking things in regards to his relationship with Bō, since he sometimes gets scared he might screw things up. Where to go for dates, how long is it appropriate to hold hands, how many compliments a day is too little or too much, etc.

Related to that, Cueball becomes afraid he might love Bō too much. Since he’s never fallen in love before, he had no idea what feelings/actions/statements/thoughts are normal, and which ones might be a sign of like, codependency, or otherwise being overly creepy/obsessed. Again, he sometimes gets terrified of the idea of messing up his relationship, especially to the point where Bō ends up hating him. Cueball’s worst nightmare right there!!

He gets a handle on it eventually. It helps that Bō will take time to reassure him that these kinds of feelings are normal. Not to mention Bō making it clear whenever something is genuinely weird/creepy, and talking it out with Cueball to make sure he understands.

Full-cyber bodies can still feel sensations (touch, temperature, texture, etc.) thanks to advanced sensors throughout their bodies. Cueball is really big on physical touch as a show of affection since it’s a big sensation he can still experience after going full-cyber. This is especially important to him since he’s touch-starved, something he realizes while dating Bō. He is thus incredibly cuddly and big on handholding and hugs!

Bō admits he’s never had a boyfriend who was this physically affectionate, but he also says he prefers it this way. It’s because of this that Bō finds out he is also touch-starved. This encourages Cueball to give Bō hugs and cuddles as much as possible. :D

Cueball loves the feeling of certain textures, and Bō’s hair and stubble gets added to that list. Running his fingers through Bō’s hair, rubbing his hands and even his head against Bō’s stubble, etc. Bō doesn’t mind, especially since most of the time it’s like a nice massage.

When sleeping, Cueball is the big spoon. Mostly for practicality, since Cueball’s charging cables come out of the backside of his body (specifically the base of his head, the base of his neck, and the base of his spine). Though even if that weren’t the case, the two of them would probably end up spooning this way out of comfort/their own preferences anyways.

Cueball tends to wrap both his arms and legs around Bō while sleeping too, lol

You might be wondering how kissing works between these two. Really it’s just Bō kissing him on his screen face. When Cueball kisses him back, he also plays a little “smooch.mp3” sound effect. :P

At some point once they’re living together, they adopt some cats because of Cueball’s love of cats. He wanted to get 5, but Bō talked him down to 3, lol

Their names are Pumpkin, Sapphire, and Clover! All of them black cats, and each of them named by the color of their eyes (orange, blue, and green respectively). They are very cute. :3

Because of why Cueball went full-cyber (long story short, he got severely sick, and the doctors he saw either insisted it wasn’t that bad, or just couldn’t do much to help him), he is distrustful of doctors. He worries for Bō’s health and makes sure he’s eating good food, checking his temperature and pulse regularly, etc. Also insists on accompanying Bō to any doctor appointments to make sure he’s safe!!

Bō appreciates the concern, but finds Cueball pretty overbearing with this. He eventually convinces Cueball to reign it back a bit and assures him he’ll be fine, and will let Cueball know if he starts to feel sick.

From my big DOT EXE post, I headcanon that the voice we hear in game for DOT EXE is actually a “default” voice to hide their identities. They can switch to other voices, and each member can of course switch back to a digitized version of their original voice from before going full-cyber. Bō is the only one who knows what Cueball’s real voice sounds like, and even then Cueball only uses it when they’re alone together in private.

Cueball finds Bō very physically attractive, which is something that Bō isn’t quite used to (i.e. doesn’t get a lot of compliments on being good-looking, even from past boyfriends). Not that he minds!

Bō in turn does find Cueball genuinely handsome. Cueball has a hard time believing it at first (“I mean, I don’t even have a face??”), but learns to accept the compliments later on.

It turns out that in private, Cueball is also a bit of a pervert. Just a bit! Not that Bō minds that either, as long as Cueball keeps it private. Cueball is grossed out by the idea of being “too affectionate” in public anyways, if you know what I mean :P

Okay I think that’s it for now!! I think I ended up writing about the same as what I did for Nunchaku and Vinyl. At least it feels like it. :u

One more big indulgent post left, hopefully I can get that done soon. ;o;

Buzz Brained

(written for @tmnt-write-fight for @rbtlvr)

Fandom: Rise of the TMNT (post movie)

Prompt: (rottmnt) anything with casey jr. maybe him adjusting to the new timeline? talking things out with leo? up to you! can be hurt/comfort or just fluff i am not picky

Word Count: 2030

Posted on AO3 too!

-------------------------------------

Btw, @lasanya539 and I ended up working on this prompt at the exact same time so we've been helping each other out. Lol. Be sure to check out her attack too! (Will link when ready)

-------------------------------------

It’s over.

The Kraang are gone. The team has recovered. Casey is (slowly) adjusting to the new timeline. Things look like they might actually be okay now.

But something keeps churning inside of Casey’s stomach. Like a black hole twisting and twisting. Sometimes it gets hard to breathe even though Casey’s just sitting on the couch just trying to relax. And sometimes he feels restless. Twitchy. Like that time as a child he snuck into Captain Donatello’s lab and drank his coffee. His brain would just…buzz. Incessant buzzing. With no way to abate it.

He tries the breathing Master Michelangelo once taught him. Tries shaking his arms out the way Captain Donatello told him about. Tries distracting himself with hobbies the way Master Leonardo did. But it doesn’t help. Something is rattling and boiling inside.

And it needs to be let out.

The next time he feels this buzziness is when Donnie asks him to grab Shelldon’s charging port from the lab. It takes him a minute to remember what’s going on. …What did Donnie ask him to do?

The buzz grows stronger, and Casey stands still. He feels himself beginning to space out. His fingers flex of their own volition. The only thing he can control is his breathing and…

Wait…what was he doing again?

Lightning erupts inside of his brain and suddenly the teen’s shoulders and jaw lock up tight, restricting his airways. Before he can register what is happening, his eyes roll back into his head, his head guiding the momentum of falling back hard on the ground. The force of the impact rings him anew and suddenly he can breathe again, gasping for air as he processes what the fuck just happened.

With his medical apprentice knowledge, Casey wants to say that it was a seizure. But it didn’t check off all the boxes. He was still awake, still aware. Never sustained a head injury, even now, his back taking the main hit of the fall. Never had one before so obviously he isn’t born with some seizure causing disorder. So…what the hell?

Casey sits up, cautiously. Nothing else hurts besides his back because…ow. Doesn’t feel dizzy, heartbeat and breathing seem fine. In fact, Casey feels pretty great. The buzziness is all gone.

Well alright then, case closed. Good job, me.

Now…why was he in Donnie’s lab again? Oh right, charging port. Casey gets up, dusting his knees and locating Shelldon’s port quickly. He picks it up and carries it back to the TV room where the others are waiting.

“There you are, I was starting to think you didn’t know what I looked like.”, Donnie calls out as he takes the charging port from the teen.

“Ah, yeah, sorry. I…got kinda sidetracked.”, Casey smiles nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

Donnie pays him no mind and sets up the port for his robot son. And Casey tries to act cool again, ignoring the side-eye from Leo.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

These…instances keep happening. About two weeks go by without any issue until the buzz-brained feeling comes back. And then it all happened again! While Casey was trying to do his homework! What gives? Then it happens again another two weeks later. And again. And again. It’s been going on for a few months now.

Casey tries not to think about it. Because even thinking about it makes his brain all buzzy. And if his brain is buzzing then he’ll think about it even more. And if he thinks about it even more then—

“You alright, Casey?”, April asks.

He blinks and suddenly remembers that he’s at April’s having a Girls Night with Cass and Sunita (and him and Leo for some reason so is it really a girls night??). He glances down at the pink nails April has been painting on him.

“Huh? Yeah, I’m good.”, Casey nods. His brain starts to buzz more.

He looks up at the TV to try and distract himself. They’re binge-watching all the Tinkerbell movies, the current one being The Great Fairy Rescue where Tinkerbell is trying to break out of a bird cage. He seems to be staring a bit too blankly, but he can’t seem to bring himself to look away. He’s not even focusing on the screen anymore.

“What kind of fairy do you think I would be?”, Leo asks.

“I would be a fire fairy.”, Cass nods.

“Fire fairies don’t even exist.”, Sunita snarks. “What about a light fairy?”

“Do they commit arson?”

“Well…no—”

“I want to be one of the queens.”, Leo says decidedly. “What do you think, Case?”

Casey barely stirs at his name being called. Poor Tinkerbell stuck in a cage. The bars are pretty wide though. Couldn’t she fit through? What a dumbass fairy.

“Casey?”

Man, his head hurts. …When did the lights get all blurry? Casey blinks, trying to clear his vision. This can not be happening in front of the others. The teen is just anxious from all this new world stuff, it’s just something he’s making up for attention. Though wait if it’s for attention, then how come he’s been trying to hide it? That just doesn’t make any sense—

His eyelids slip down as his eyeballs roll back into his head again, his head suddenly dropping forward as if cut from a puppet string. Shit! Not now! This can’t be happening right now! He tries to move, tries to force himself back to normal like he’s been doing this whole time. But he’s stuck.

“Casey!”, the others shout.

“Case, you okay?”, April asks again, shaking his shoulders. But Casey can’t respond, can’t even lift a finger.

Leo gets up close, at least Casey thinks so. He can’t see shit right now. “Looks like a seizure. Here, we should prop him up against something before he falls.” Ah, the infamous Leo medic mode.

He feels the others scoot close, using a group cuddle to hold him up. Oh, that’s nice. Someone moves his chin so that he can breathe easier. At least he can control that. He tries to let them know he’s here but all that comes out is a helpless sputter.

“You’re good, Case. We got you.”, Sunita assures.

“Come on, mini me, you can fight it!”, Cass encourages.

A couple minutes go by. And suddenly Casey’s eyes snap open again and he heaves, like waking up from a bad dream. And ow his head hurts from his eyes being stuck like that for so long. He squeezes them shut, sitting more upright as he groans.

“Careful, Case.”, Leo jumps in. “You shouldn’t move so much after—”

“It’s fine, Leo.”, Casey gripes. “It wasn’t a seizure.”

“Well what the hell is it?”, Cass tilts her head. “You looked possessed.” Sunita gives her a good jab with his elbow. “Hey, ow!”

“I…I’m not sure, really.”

“Well you seem to act like you’ve done this before.”, April crosses her arms and raises a brow. “How long has this been going on?”

“Ehh…4 months?”

“4 MONTHS?!”, everyone shouts.

“And you didn’t TELL US?!”, Leo adds.

“Well I’m always fine afterwards so it’s not like there's any imminent danger.”, the teen squeaks, rubbing the back of his neck. “I figured it would just go away. Besides…you’re still recovering from the invasion. You and the others. I didn’t want to add more to your plate.”

“Oh, baby…”, April laments, putting a hand on his shoulder. “That is…the stupidest excuse I’ve ever heard in my entire life. You need to see a doctor about this. Sooner rather than later.”

The woman gets up, taking her phone out of her pocket as she hurries over to the kitchen.

“I’m calling my mom, she’s a neurologist. No friend of mine is going to deal with “not seizures” like this by himself.”, she huffs.

Casey can’t help but feel more tense now that the others are getting involved. Back in the Resistance, this would be considered a nuisance.

“I don’t know if you know this, but this isn’t the Resistance.”, Leo points out. Wait, how could he read my mind— “Your suffering is just as valid, big or small. Hell, knowing Raph, he’ll have an aneurysm if someone so much as scrapes their knee. So promise me. No more hiding things.”

Casey presses his lips together. “...If I promise to not hide things, are you going to promise the same?”

“Nnnnot a chance.”

“Figured.” .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

“Let’s take a look, dear, shall we?”

Casey’s lucky that Mrs. O’Neil had a free hour the next day. He sits down on the exam table and lets the doctor do the work. He trusts her, Casey knows Dr. O’Neil from the future…past. Even if she doesn’t know him quite well. She pokes and prods the teen’s arms. Has him run a few series of tests. Asks him a few questions about these episodes. The doctor scratches her forehead as she looks down at her clipboard.

“Sounds like PNES if I were to guess.”, she says finally.

“...what’s that?”

“Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.”, Dr. O’Neil explains. “It’s like a psychosomatic response to repressed trauma and other psychological disorders.”

“...Are you saying I have PTSD?”, Casey squints his eyes.

“Are you saying you don’t?”, Carol raises a brow. “You grew up in a literal apocalypse. As a soldier nonetheless. Without any chance to stop and take a break, I presume. You could bleed out to death but still force yourself to fight, am I right?”

Casey tries to testify but the only thing leaving his mouth is a sigh. She’s not wrong. There was no time for Casey to be having a moment in the apocalypse. Everything becomes a burden, even stuff like hunger and thirst. He had to hide it. For the sake of the Resistance. For the sake of the world.

“Casey…”, Carol sighs sympathetically. “Your body has been put under so much stress that it doesn’t know where to go. It causes you to feel nauseous or lose sleep, and those things turn into real problems like GI issues and insomnia. PNES is just simply another one of those psychosomatic symptoms that get way out of hand when left untreated.”

“So how do we treat it? How is it cured?”

“In some cases, it’s never cured. But we can work on managing it. As long as you’re willing.”, the doctor smiles. “The war is over now, Casey. It’s time to let your guard down. It’s time to heal.”

Ha. Yeah. Easier said than done. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

It takes a long time for Casey to get used to things. For starters, everyone is notified of the disorder and Donnie provides a lengthy lecture on the signs and how to help Casey out with his episodes. It feels embarrassing to be this coddled. This must’ve been how Master Michelangelo felt.

Of course things like seeing a therapist were in order. He was even prescribed antidepressants too for his anxiety. It was a tough process, talking things out with someone in a way that doesn’t imply he’s secretly from the future, as well as finding the right medication. But it does get easier.

And when an episode does happen…

“We’re right here, Casey. Let me just lean you back a bit…there we go.”, Leo reassures softly.

Small 3-fingered hands are holding his own gently. Spikes are leaned against him, keeping him steady. Someone is coaching him on how to breathe. He regains control of his eyes, blinking them open for a moment before shutting them tight against the lights.

“There we go, all done.”, Mikey smiles, the hands holding his squeeze. “That one was pretty fast.”

“Indeed. And the times in between each episode are getting longer.”, Donnie nods. “An optimal rate of improvement, well done, Junior.”

“Thanks you guys.”, Casey smiles, opening his eyes again once the lights stop hurting. “And…thanks for not giving up on me.”

“Of course!”, Raph beams. “We’re family now. In this timeline and the next.”

Yeah, he’s right. Casey will be okay. He just needs to trust his family more. There was no point in hiding. No use in keeping it a secret.

He’s not alone anymore.

-------------------------------------

Decided to have fun and gave Casey PNES as that's the running theory that my neurologist has for me. After a lot of research, I highly doubt it's the case, but until then let it be known that I did my best to maintain accuracy based on the research provided and the personal experiences I've endured.

He's confused and uncertain about this task at first, but he's willing to give it a try. Remus, after all, wants so badly for him to be happy, and Logan wants that for Remus as well. Notes: I love Logan and Remus's relationship in this so much.

A Match Made In The Heavens by VorpalGirl Space AU (Analogical) Rating: T An account of humanity's first contact with intelligent alien life.

Androids are made for war, not feelings by thecrowslullaby Space AU (Loceit) Rating: T After surviving a spaceship crash, Janus is left on his own trying to reassemble the only other (hopeful) survivor: his close friend Logan. Notes: Android angst, mutual pining and Star Trek vibes. It's so good.

Little did he know, his creation had already set out to achieve the objective he had unknowingly given it... Notes: This one is odd, sweet, and a little sad, and I'm really very fond of it.

These Stars Are Not So Far Apart by LostinScribbles Space AU (Gen) Rating: G After exposure to an exotic contagion during a space mission, a scouting crew is stuck in quarantine over the holidays. Space travel is full of hardship, but the members of the crew do their best to be there for each other another in their own way. Notes: A lightly angsty little bit of found family.

The Sweater Verse series by NikaylaSarae Sci-fi AU (Gen) Rating: G Virgil and Janus are two young aliens, standed on Earth and on the run. Emile is willing to take them in (though if you ask Remy, Emile clearly needs a bit of looking after as well). (Sequel) I'm Here, I'm Here, I'm Here by approximately12lbs_of_ducks Sci-fi AU (Gen) Rating: G Remy locates the missing piece of their oddly matched set. Notes: A short but cute series (and continuation) about tiny aliens, six-armed sweaters, and Remy being a very good sport about a whole lot of things.

WIP

Humans in My Spaceship by KieraElieson Space AU (Gen) Rating: T Rescuing an escape pod always has the chance of inviting trouble. Unfortunately for Logan, this one came crammed full of humans desperate to find safety as part of his crew. Note: A continuation of the It's Tough Being a Deathworlder series, and sequel to Space Brothers. The worldbuilding behind Logan's species is really intriguing.

[palfriendpatine66]

Hello friend! I was thinking about PiP (always) and I remembered Obi-Wan telling Anakin that he's had some... regretful hair cuts in the past. Then I remembered that Suit Life of Zach and Cody episode where Cody dyes his hair and I ended up coming up with this little scene for my It Takes a Village WIP. Since PiP inspired it I wanted to share it with you! 💖

---

Obi-Wan stepped lightly away from Korkie’s room, avoiding the creaky spot just outside the door, and made his way into the living room. It had been a hectic few days getting all of Anakin's belongings moved over and (mostly) unpacked. Padme hadn't been kidding when she said he didn't have many household belongings - he had a grand total of two bowls, three plates, miscellaneous silverware that were all mismatched and Obi-Wan suspected came from various restaurants, and a handful of other appliances. The only furniture he opted to keep was his bed, deciding that the sad excuse for a drooping couch wasn't worth putting in storage for when he eventually moved out.

What she hadn't told him about, though, was the sheer amount of things Anakin had. Apparently Anakin partook in many different hobbies, depending on his mood. He had random computer and robotics circuitry and parts, surprisingly soft yarn and a pair of knitting needles that appeared to have seen better days, an empty fish bowl that now housed an assortment of rocks, and various tools that Obi-Wan was secretly glad Anakin was bringing into the house (his dinky little toolbox was paltry in comparison and he was positive that taking care of Korkie - and Anakin - would require something to be repaired in the future).

But they had finally finished finding homes for everything. And in the process, Anakin had found a few of Obi-Wan's belongings that he decided needed to also be re-housed. Namely, an old scrapbook Qui-Gon had given him as a housewarming present years ago. Qui-Gon and Padme had meticulously included copies of everything from their lives together from copies of Obi-Wan's adoption papers, pictures of Obi-Wan cuddling with his newborn sister, notes that Padme had found between herself and Obi-Wan, to pictures of Obi-Wan in front of the house holding the first box he brought in. While he cherished the book - and the memories it invoked - he had had it in a drawer of a side table in the living room. Now Anakin insisted it needed a more prominent position. He also briefly mentioned starting one for Korkie, but when Obi-Wan asked him about it he quickly changed the subject.

When Obi-Wan sat down on the couch next to Anakin he was hardly surprised to see his new roommate looking through the pictures. He hadn't had the chance to get through all of it, but once he got permission to look he had become determined to look at everything it contained.

“Aw, you dressed up with Padme for Halloween!”

“Oh yes, I remember that year. She was obsessed with Peter Pan.” Obi-Wan chuckled. “She loved that he and I had matching hair, so she decided it would be perfect for us to go as Peter and Tinkerbell.”

“That's adorable.” The smile on Anakin's face made Obi-Wan's night in uncomfortable green tights worth it. Mostly. “Not many teenagers would have agreed to go out with their little sister, let alone dress up.”

“Well, you know she and I have always been close. Besides, when she wants her way she knows exactly what to say to get it. There's a reason she’s going to school for politics.”

Anakin turned the page and froze, Obi-Wan letting out a groan that was much too loud for naptime when he saw what caught his eye.

“What. Is this?”

In the picture, seventeen year old Obi-Wan had a scowl on his face while his mom fretted behind him trying in equal parts to help and not to laugh. Instead of his usual auburn hair that Anakin had always seen, his locks were a bright, Christmas red.

“What you have to understand is-”

“How have I never seen this before?! Surely I would have remembered this hairstyle!”

Obi-Wan's forehead dropped into his hand. “I was mad at Qui-Gon for not letting me do something - I don't even remember what. So when I was at a friend’s house we had decided a great way at getting back at him would be to dye my hair.”

“You picked this color?!”

“No! We dyed it black. Needless to say, mom and dad were not pleased when I came home. I think that was the closest I've ever seen Qui-Gon to being angry with me. He immediately drove me to the store and we got bleach and a box of hair dye that looked like it would be close to my natural color. When we got back, mom tried her best but this was the result. It was supposed to be ‘Honey Mist Auburn’ if I remember correctly.”

Anakin bit his lip, trying desperately to hold back a laugh. “Honey, you missed auburn big time.”

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and Anakin let out a guffaw.

“Yes, well. We ended up having to go to a salon. That was when I had that horrible, short haircut, remember? Most of my hair ended up so damaged that they had to chop it off. But at least they were able to salvage the color and I didn't have to shave it.”

Anakin hid his face in Obi-Wan's shoulder to try and quiet his laughs. He knew what Korkie would be like if you woke him up too soon from his nap and he didn't want to start their co-habitation on the wrong foot. Obi-Wan found he didn't mind. He actually quite enjoyed feeling Anakin's body vibrate with his mirth and the hot puffs of breath against his neck. He smiled to himself, despite looking directly at picture evidence of his youthful mistakes.

Ok first I’m going to make this about me for a hot second. That’s twice tonight someone’s told me they’re still thinking about PiP. And my heart. Seriously. I cannot tell you just how happy this makes me. And that any part of it INSPIRED something more? Crying.

Ok. Now that I’ve gotten me out of the way:

I need to know more about this au!!!!

Yes to weird junk drawer pack rat Anakin.

Yes to stolen silverware.

Yes to honey auburn mist!!!!!

[parmaviolets]

shut up im literally obsessed with ur fnaf au. can you explain everything about it?? (characters added, their roles, etc?) i love it so mych im gobbling it up nom nom nom

hii thank you. infodump time teehee

The AU is kind of set during the events of FNAF 2, but I've shuffled things around so it's a sequel and also it takes place in Massachusetts circa 2004.

more under the cut because augh. Many thoughts

Mike has recently gotten married to his coworker, Eugene, who is for all intents and purposes a regular accountant type guy except for being a weird freak (compliment) and ALSO more relevantly, been promoted to day guard. This means they're going to need a new nightguard, and that ends up being Jeremy, who recently moved back to his hometown (Fazbear Capital of the World) from where he was living in Vermont.

Jeremy has a girlfriend, which he talks about all the time but Mike does not fucking believe she's real until she threatens him with a knife for bullying Her Guy. Her name is Nadia Knox! She's a scene girl who works at a hardware store, loves blasting MCR in her car, carries a ridiculous amount of things in her bag, likes making copies of people's house keys without them knowing, tracing cell phones, shoplifting, etc. normal girl hobbies basically

She and Jeremy have kind of a beard relationship going on because like. Jeremy is very aromantic and she's bi but really looking for serious relationships right now. But they pass really easily as a couple because they genuinely do really like each other as friends and have a lot of affection for each other.

Charlotte "Chucky" Emily is another gal that works at the pizzeria, mostly in repair and maintenance of the animatronics and equipment. She grew up with Michael mostly so they've got a silly kind of sibling relationship going on, but besides that she doesn't really.. have friends. She was homeschooled by her father, Henry, and finds herself a little socially inept so she kinda keeps to herself.

Chucky was partially raised by William Afton too, but when she was younger he had a bad falling out with Henry and she didn't really see him for like. 10 years after that. but Will always somehow got little gifts to her- toolboxes, books, taxidermied mice. Normal things that the estranged business partner of your father would send you, as far as she knew. Because she doesn't go outside enough to know that's fucking Weird.

Henry is kind of silly. He gives off the vibes like he was a looney tunes character that escaped Disneyland and now he's stuck in a slasher and doesn't know it. He and William were good friends back in the day! Also had some subtextual homoeroticism. When Will left to manage Afton Robotics, Henry took over full ownership of Freddy's.

Into the plot deets, Jeremy was actually intended to be one of the victims of the original Missing Children's Incident, but he got a tummy ache and went home before he could get Murdered. Following that, his mother thought "this city sucks, I'm going to Vermont" and took him with her. Now that he's 21 and definitely needs to move out of his mother's house, he decided to go back to Brockton (mistake #1) and work at Freddy's (mistake #2) because it was the only place that was gonna hire him hashtag job market in shambles.

ogh okay I need to get ready for work now see u

B - body - what is their favorite part of your body?

•Your eyes, he probably gets distracted by your eyes when hes fighting and gets hit.

C - cuddles - do they like to cuddle?

• At first he wouldn't because he would be scared his robotic arm would make you uncomfortable but once you reassure him, he warms up to it and loves to cuddle (would rather die than ask you to cuddle though, straight up drags you with him and cuddles you )

F - fight - how often do yall fight?

•Hes constanly fighting and getting beat up, coming home covered in blood and bruises on the verge of death.I think you would be worried and lecture him and he would say, "This is what i enjoy!" there will be fighting sometimes. Hes pretty good at apologizing though.

G - gentle - how gentle are they, emontally and physically?

•Ok, bbg is VERY emontally gentle, istg he will do anything for you, no questions asked as long as he gets a kiss or a hug as a reward. and physically? ok so he TRYS to be super gentle but because hes so strong and all that jazz, he might accidentally hurt you

H - honest - do they hide things from their s/o?

•ok he 100% shares almost everything with you, but,if you ask him if you look good in smth and he doesnt think so, he will be SWEATING."o-oh u-uhm! i-its...?" he wont give you a direct answer. but besides that, he wont keep secrets unless its for your own good. Also he wont give to many details about his past untill hes more comfy with you.

I - i love you - how long did it take for them to say ily

he hands you flowers and choclate before blurting it out, rubbing the back of his head nervously as he tries to act confident. If you reject him he will try to switch the topic. (awkwardly)

J - jealousy - how fast do they get jealous?

•Dont quote me on this but, he quite literality thinks Aphrodite (or Idrila?) came down and personally blessed you, hes very confident so he probs gets jealous like mediocrely fast but doesn't let it show until the person is like CLEARLY. hitting on you because he doesn't wanna be overbearing

K - kiss - where do they like to be kissed,where do they like to kiss you,what is kissing them like?

•he loves to be kissed on his nose OR knuckles, i cant explain why,also kiss his robotic hand and he will FOLD. likes to kiss right underneath your eye and your forehead because hes pure like that. hes probably not that experienced in kissing you so you might have to guide him but,hes like so confident when hes kissing you, you forget if he does smth wrong. will ask for kisses without shame.

L - little ones - how are they w/ kids?

•Hes fucking amazing with kids,tells them storys, feeds them, helps them, like hes amazing with them but doesnt want to feel tied down with a family so he visits the moles a lot.

M - memory - whats their fav memory of you?

•one time you needed to burn off some steam and he suggested that you could spar with him, with a little bit of convincing, you agreed and something about seeing you sweating and moving around in the dimly lit room just like made him feel butterflys, no i cant explain why.

N - nicknames - what do they call their s/o?

•alrighty, he would call you like weird nicknames as a joke to embarrass you, but fr? he uses "love" for a pet name

O - open - how long does it take for them to open up to you?

• About his past? depends. He doesnt really keep his past a huge secret but he 100% wont bring it up unless you ask because he finds opening up to be awkward and a sign of weakness (unless its someone else venting, then its fine just not him.)

P - patience - how quickly are they annoyed?

•Doesnt get annoyed fast because he quite literately spends his whole life training and then still fails sometimes, so hes very patient, and when his patience runs thin, either he is not aware and might snap at you, or hes very aware and runs away to avoid snapping at you

S - security (hahahahah got you) - how protective are they?

•he knows you can protect yourself because he has probably taught you some self defense moves, but if hes there and some person is like trying to touch or or assault you, lets just say its a gorey sight<3

•Everything and nothing, he shares all the gossip with you. also, bring up the topic of insects and suddenly hes reciting to you a whole ass book about them

U - ugly - what is a red flag of theirs?

•After a fight,he will just shower you in praises and everything to try and get you to stop being mad,now you might think "oh this isnt that bad!!!" to which your right in some degree BUT it’s a little manipulative core

•Considering hes a champion of Belobog, he is pretty concerned about his looks, he LOVES when you compliment him, will never forget it.

W - whole - would they feel complete w/o you?

•Would mange ok physically, his performance might falter a little but emotionally? if hes opened up to you, hes not recovering. But of course he plays it off because he’s to proud for that. (will beg for you back if given the opportunity.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE- NO GAMES

Hello,

Now I am back and trying to work on my requests I am going to be very strict with my work this time around.

I need to speak some actual facts

I am a real human with actual commitments besides sitting in front of a computer and fulfilling your requests.

AKA I am not a robot nor am I some servant who exists to please you for free.

My choice to do ships or write is for my own entertainment and so far I have been absolutely cringing at the thought of coming back only to be met with some (not all) of you treating me as someone who is only interesting because I do shit for you.

If I sound harsh so be it, I don't care at this stage. If you have an issue with me asking for the most basic respect then silently unfollow and go about your day there are other blogs who are very talented and can occupy you.

When I am absent for whatever reason, I don't want to be bombarded with immediate asks as soon as I change my theme on my blog.

Let me spell it out, I don't appreciate shallow conversation or the sentiment that you can send a request that definitely is more of an order, disappear, then come back and complain when I have no motivation to get your request done.

It may fly with other blogs but the whole pretending to be interested in me and my own life as a lead up for asking when I can have your request done or as a means of then just making the whole dm conversation about yourself is not for me.

So from this point forward and because I am doing this blog as a way of sharing the love of k-pop there will be changes.

Change 1. DO NOT DM ME JUST TO ASK ABOUT YOUR REQUEST, SEND ME AN ACTUAL ASK. NO FAKE HOW ARE YOU IF YOU JUST WANT YOUR SHIP AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT ME IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM

Change 2. IF YOU HAVE REQUESTED A SHIP I AM GIVING YOU ONE DAY TO ACTUALLY CONTACT ME AND SAY YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR SHIP DONE BECAUSE MOST OF YOU JUST DISSAPEAR ON ME WHICH EQUALS NO MOTIVATION. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU WITHIN A DAY I AM DELETING YOUR REQUEST

Change 3. WHEN I DO OPEN MY SHIPS AGAIN THEY WILL BE EXTREMELY LIMITED AT 1-2 SLOTS PER SHIP TYPE. SO MOVE QUICK AND REQUEST

Change 4. IF YOU WANT LITERALLY ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR REQUEST SEND AN ASK. MY DMS ARE FOR PEOPLE I CONSIDER CLOSE FRIENDS OR WHO I WANT STANDARD CONVERSATION WITH. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT SHIPS EVERY DAMN DAY

And that's it. I'm calling the shots on this blog because I have been extremely lenient with all of you and I will not hesitate to not do your request and delete it if you are hostile or come across as entitled, dictating and forcing me to do something I started as a hobby. I will be extremely busy next year so these rules must be in place especially as I transition to writing more fics.

That's all I will say, and if you do want your request still send me an ask, not a dm and let me know and I will still do it. If you do not respond or make an effort to say "Yes I still want my ship" it will be deleted and you will have to request when my limited slots are open.

So it is the 17th of December now if I don't hear back from you by the 19th regarding your ship it will be deleted

Data’s Adventures in Walter Robotics! (Fossils and Pebbles)

”Which rock is that one?” The Jon asked, pointing at a small flat stone. Data smiled at him, handing it to him for The Jon to touch and feel. It was cold, and grey, a little boring looking to some, but not to Data.

“That’s slate, it’s a metamorphic rock that I got from Wales! Isn’t it such a pretty colour?” They gently stroked the surface of the rock, and he nodded in response, happy to listen to Data ramble on about their hobby, even if he did get a little bored sometimes. They gave their friend a quick glance, smiling when they noticed him watching attentively and turning their attention onto a different specimen. “This is the fossil of a sponge, I need to get it tested for exactly which type of sponge it is, but it’s interesting no? To know that life has always existed, even when humans weren’t around!”

The Jon leant into them, smiling but steadily falling into stasis, not because he was bored per-say, but more because he felt relaxed, Data had always had that effect on him. Data kept talking, unaware of The Jon slipping into a deep state of stasis beside them, and only noticing upon hearing his quiet snore. Their eyes widened, before they calmed, gently wrapping an arm around him and pulling him closer, leaning his head against their little golden friend and falling into their own set of stasis, the fossil still in their hand as the two automatons snoozed together, only moving when The Spine gently lifted The Jon out of Data’s arms and carried him to his room, before returning to see the broken robot awake.

Data had already established that they didn’t like The Spine, however, they knew they could trust him enough to take off their mask around him, especially around bedtime. So that’s what they did, setting it down on the bedside table as The Spine gently tucked them in, feeling safe that he wouldn’t be afraid of their exposed eye socket or wires.

“You know, we could always get you some pyjamas, if you’re cold.” Data shook their head, giving him a rare smile and nod, smiling even wider when he gave them a pat on the head.

“Alright then, goodnight Data, have a good stasis..” He switched off the light and closed the door, leaving Data to drift gently into stasis

does nova have any hobbies besides their Job? anything theyre trying to Figure Out How To Do?

trying 2 figure how humans work!! mostly in the sense of like. "hey i know about human dietary needs and human atmospheric conditions but i don't know what a family is yet. or what love is? or what "weddings" are. because my engineer keeps talking about her wife but i have no idea what a wife is". big mystery for nova to solve is how to mimic being a human. it's honestly kind of ironic that, given that nova needs to figure out how suitable a place is for human habitation, nova was sent to space without and knowledge of human society. it just knows Science. so that's what it is figuring out.

also she is interested in all science fields especially the ones related to her purpose like biology/ecology. but. it likes plants a lot. i think when it finally gets sent to an exoplanet it tries to learn enough to cultivate plants on its own. back when it was still being developed she was often put into simulated environments (read: its engineers put her around various plant life to determine if it would be able to identify each one and figure out the needs/structure of each one) so all of that experience has really cultivated its interest in plants. not to be all wall-e but something about robots and plants, dude...

I was going to do a post lambasting SocialAI, that stupid app Michael Sayman just released where users are provided an openly and utterly bot-populated fake social media platform to interact with.

Except

1) He only did this as a self-promotional troll to get meetings with VC goons, who are perpetually impressed by any new thing that is robots they own firing advertising directly into sad people's brains;

2) This guy is already a techbro dipshit who waxes philosophic about how AI based on stolen content is the Ultimate Solution to all of life's problems, so creating something like this is, sadly, merely the next logical step;

3) No one will seriously use this;

4) ...Except maybe Boomers, who will think these hot girls really are in their area, and are genuinely turned on by incoherent racism. But at least with this, they can't send them $40,000 in phone cards;

5) But in 6 months we will absolutely see a dozen of these that ARE specifically designed to do that. They already do it with zombie dating sites. The era of fake social media apps designed 100% for pig-butchering is upon us! Thanks, Mike!

6) It actually might not be a bad idea to get your parents and grandparents tricked into using what is otherwise a totally bot-based platform. That way they can make asses of themselves in an enclosed cul-de-sac where the only harm being done is to them, via tremendous loneliness.

7) Which is sad. But they're also inappropriately horny racists and the rest of us aren't obligated to put up with their apparent innate need to do that, nonstop, all the time. So I don't know how you fix this.

8) ...Besides get them to take up hobbies offline. My dad fixes model trains for money now. My mom still wants to leave him. But at least he isn't screaming anymore about conspiracy theories he heard from some Far Right golfing YouTuber.
