WIP Wednesday (3/6) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 131)

“Chocolate on chocolate, I bet,” Neil guesses with a smile. “That’s what you like best, isn’t it?”

“Mm,” Andrew recalls a homemade chocolate cake in a yellow-painted kitchen in Oakland. It was dry and the frosting was gritty, but it had his name on it. And Cass had actually cared enough to— Andrew doesn’t want to think about that either. “Nicky always gets vanilla cake. That’s what Aaron likes.”

“That’s not fair.” Neil says with a frown. Andrew shrugs. It’s not like he’s ever bothered to express his opinion. Cake is cake. 

“Doesn’t matter much to me, I’ll pile chocolate ice cream onto it no matter what color it is.” 

“Oh, I miss ice cream.” Neil says suddenly. “Strawberry was my favorite.”

Andrew makes a face. “You are a very sad man.”

“Big news, everybody! Neil is sad and the sky is blue! Don’t forget to pick up the paper!” Neil says, cupping his hands around his mouth. Andrew laughs and Neil rolls his eyes. “For your information, strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate. And I’ll tell you another secret: so is vanilla.”

“How dare you.”

please please tell me things about your detective noir au, it's been living in my head rent free since I saw it

OH BOY !! I love detective noir au soso much thankyou to @pigeonwit for writing the thing which incited me creating it and for helping me with a lot and for being enthusiastic about it ! wbwbw !!

I’ve been using it as a fun design project over a story project for the time being, so plot has been put on a back burner while i focus on research and costume design (and funky character dynamics), but I have got a random assortment of Things I’ve thought up for it wbwbw!

First things first: it’s set in 1927-1928, and I’m using a lot of uksies versions of the characters/character dynamics.

Davey’s (obviously) a Private Eye; he’s somewhat well known because he’ll take any case (it doesn’t matter if his client can’t afford his rates, he’ll solve the case for free) and will not stop until it is solved (sometimes to the detriment of his health). He clings to his morals so hard he leaves fingernail-shaped indents; he’s trying soso hard to stay afloat and keep his head above new york’s criminal underbelly (which is difficult when one of the most influential and feared mob bosses in the city has decided you’re her Good Pal). Most of what he earns goes to his family, he has to provide for them somehow, to return all they did for him somehow. He’s constantly exhausted, he doesn’t remember a time he hasn’t been exhausted.

He’s still autistic and still Jewish I’m never taking that from him wbwbw (he speaks English, Yiddish, Polish, and some Hebrew)

Jack’s the Homme Fatale character. He’s shady, he’s putting on a front, he’s very morally grey, he’s trying so desperately to escape the situation he’s in and find the means to live the life he wants to live over the live he’s been given that he sinks deeper and deeper into crime and the shadier part of the city. He was still a newsie and friends/brothers with Race and Crutchie, and is still in contact with them both.

just imagine michael jack with a long cigarette holder. Those are the vibes.

Did you see me say “unshakeable morals” when describing Davey? Yeah I lied. He killed a man in cold blood once, and he was terrified of how little he felt guilty over it, and how readily he’d kill again if he was in the same situation. The city is seeping in injustice and violence and a part of him was suffocated a long time ago. He tries not to think about it.

He also threatened to kneecap Race’s dad once <3 My guy is clinging onto the concept of Right and Wrong but also has a frequent urge to Maim Bite Kill.

Jack, despite his moral gray-ness, has never killed.

oh btw there’s javid somewhere in there. They’re very detective-thief enemies-to-annoyances-to-lovers (pidge has their dynamic in this au DOWN in this post)

Kath is simultaneously the Fast-Talking Reporter (Kit Plumber) and Dame With A Case (Katherine Pulitzer). She’s less interested in journalism as an industry than she for it’s Purpose, when she stumbles into something she shouldn’t or delves to deeply into an investigation and her bosses tell her to drop it and Forget, she goes either to Jack (as Kit) or to Davey (as Katherine)— sometimes to both.

She doesn’t know that they don’t know that Kit and Katherine are the same person (Jack has no idea Kit Plumber is anything other than a reporter, doesn’t need to ask; Davey has his suspicions over how and why an heiress has yet another case of corruption or something involving the mob, but he doesn’t voice them because she’s generous and maybe also his friend??). This leads to Shenanigans.

People whisper about Spot Conlon in fear throughout New York’s boroughs. She’s a mob boss, and her “family”’s influence has seeped so deep into the city that some people say he’s the real person running it. (Many of the Brooklyn newsies are her lieutenants). She’s also decided that Davey is one of her close friends and allies (because Lillie said that Spot and Davey would be friends and I think it’s funny that this really feared mob boss thinks Davey is his Good Pal and has him over sometimes).

She/He Spot Conlon Real (the rumours and whispers sometimes refer to Spot as a woman, sometimes as a man, and Spot couldn’t care less.)

Spot owns the speakeasy Medda runs and performs at, and it’s her “family” that supplies it with alcohol. Crutchie’s the pianist and Race is its Shady Bartender. He keeps letting Jack into the speakeasy so in retaliation she invites Davey over (with the pretence of exchanging information) because she knows Race doesn’t like Davey very much.

Race’s initial dynamic with Davey is very similar to how it is in act 1 of uksies (Race somewhat hates mostly dislikes and definitely doesn’t trust Davey). By the time the plot begins they’re on slightly better terms (they have a funky dynamic I can’t exactly explain atm but I will one day, but I’ll just say Race trusts Davey mostly because Splasher trusts Davey. Also Davey threatened to kneecap his father when his father found him so there’s also that).

Splasher and Davey have a funky found family dynamic too wbwbw!! Davey helped Splasher one time and Splasher thought he was very cool and started following him around and finding evidence for him (who let this child into mob territory who let this child look at corpses). One time Splasher found a recently-executed body in the East River and he called Davey his dad while Davey was soothing him. Davey calls him boychik.

The newsies of lower manhattan all know Davey as Splasher’s older brother/father figure and Les’ big brother. And also as the guy whose office they hang out in all the time.

Splasher also knows Spot because he’s really good friends with Pips. Pips calls Spot “Spottie”. That’s all.

I’d like it to be very clear that Davey and Jack are both having The Worst Time Of Their Lives but they look so so cool while doing it.

wbwbw that’s all i can think of now, and pretty much all that I’ve explored so far but thank you soso much for asking about detective noir au! it’s a fun time and i enjoy researching designing for it soso much wbwbw

Don't forget to wish them a happy birthday!

(If you have a birthday to add, send me an ask!)

I dont know much about pjo, never got past book one but I distinctly remember the capture the flag bit

anyway, how do u think each of the newsies would behave in CtF?

Capture the flag is honestly extremely iconic of rick. Forget the Roman war games; let a bunch of teenagers beat the snot out of each other for a flag

In the books, it seems the two teams are always Athena vs Ares, which makes sense since they're the two war gods. Hermes and Apollo seem to always go with Athena, while Aphrodite always with Ares. Idk if there are other cabins that always go with one side over another, but I'm gonna trrrryyyyy to keep it in that line

Team Athena: Davey makes the plan, while Sarah looks it over to catch anything he missed or overthought. Katherine is expected to take charge with the party actually going after the flag, because she's a daughter of Zeus. She goes along with it for a while because That's What's Expected, but after her first quest she's like "yeah fuck that" and becomes Davey's new strategy partner. Race hides the flag; there have been weeks where he forgets where it is, and Buttons has to make a new one. Jack and Crutchie are guards; Jack makes people feel dazed and exhausted, while Crutchie sits in a tree shooting people with his slingshot.

Meanwhile, Hotshot tries to go brawn over brains. He draws out what his scouts say the Athena camp layout is and tries to use brute force to scatter their forces while another subsection of the group goes after the flag. Mush guards the flag because he's got charmspeak and convinces people that actually, they wanna go grab some hot chocolate, like, who wants to stomp around the gross woods looking for a stupid piece of fabric?

And the others, who I don't know where to put

Les - Not Allowed To Play. Race and Crutchie keep trying to sneak him in, but Davey eventually gets them to stop. When asked what he said, Race and Crutchie just get far-away looks in their eyes and say "You don't want to know"

Spot - like I said in my other post, people fight for him to be on their team. He's so tired of it. Half the time he just sits out. Will only play if sufficiently bribed (although it does seem like he's on Athena's side more often 🤔🤔🤔 interesting 🤔🤔🤔)

Blink - similar to Spot, but he's less like the sure-fire win Spot is looked at as and more like a little luck boost. He honestly doesn't care about the game, he just likes watching Mush make everyone trip over themselves

Romeo - uses the Mist to make people lose their way or think they're hearing things. He is not allowed to play with Mush; they are a dangerous combination and know it

Albert - the long suffering head medic who just goes crazy, goes stupid during capture the flag. A not-insignificant number of people in the infirmary after the game are there because of Albert.

Finch - plays both sides, nobody knows whose team he's on on any given day. Makes booby traps and uses the games as an excuse to test new weapons

Stray - similar to Romeo in that she tries to confuse people as to where they are, but physically changes the trees/foliage

Elmer - also not allowed to play because he's A Literal Child, but he manages to convince them to let him play every so often. Y'know that "i'm just a little guy" tiktok audio? He's just A Little Guy and has KILLER puppy dog eyes and makes people feel bad when they try to get around him/get the flag from him

He scooped Dog into his arms with some difficulty and made for the car. "You know, if you fill up on eggs like that, I don't know that you're going to have any room left for ice cream. I guess we'll have to find out."

Baby jean pls!!

prev | Baby Jean

"What brought this on?" their grandfather asked, clearly appalled that Jean had cut off his grandmother and any answer she could have given. He knew he had spoken out of turn and he knew he had been disrespectful, but he also knew that if he had waited any longer to ask, he would have missed his opportunity. It would have been set in stone, and they would have had to wait for another day with less rigid scheduling.

Jean dropped his napkin onto his lap. "We just haven't gone there in a while," he said as he began to pull together his plate.

"Can we please?" Amélie said, sticking out her lower lip for an additional level of persuasiveness.

today part 4 pls

Here you go!

WIP Wednesday | Make Me Write

Like something he’s counted on being there has left him falling. Eddie is having the bad day to end all bad days, call him fucking Alexander, and what’s worse he can’t shake the deja vu feeling that’s following him. He keeps turning his head, looking for someone who isn’t there.

[bikevindayy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

thank you so much!!!

[mad-madam-m]

Paris revisited pls

"...oh?" Aziraphale rolled on his side so that he could actually see Crowley. "Yes. I don't know if you noticed, but I very much enjoyed myself."

[kalira]

new eyes pls?

Fulfil their promise and their bond, from which Adam had felt the pull for the past nineteen years, even from beyond the impassible gates; felt her needing him, just as much as he had ached for her. This girl remembered nothing of her old life, nothing of him - nothing beyond that same pull drawing her to him, nothing save the mourning song he had once written her - and yet- Adam pulled the afghan from the back of the couch, drawing it over Mizuki as she rested her head against his thigh, eyes closed trustingly.

Also some vampire if u have time 🫶

WIP Wednesday (4/3) | Vampire Andrew AU (Part 102)

“Neil was just telling us how he could tell the difference between you guys,” Nicky says, giving him a look that means trouble. “Turns out you guys have different teeth.”

That hits Andrew like a truck. Though, a truck hitting Andrew now wouldn’t do much damage, so he shakes it off. “Oh? Do tell.”

“Your teeth are sharp, Aaron’s aren’t. That’s all.” Neil says. Andrew's stomach drops.

"Oh?" Andrew tries to shove into Neil's head to see how much he really knows, but it feels sort of like running into a brick wall. How annoying.

"Yeah."

"That's interesting." Andrew says. Neil shrugs and he looks down at his shoes like he’d rather not talk to Andrew. Well, that makes sense.

And it doesn’t hurt Andrew’s feelings, he’s been listening to them via Kevin Radio since he disappeared into the locker room. Though, he hadn’t cared to stretch his ear to eavesdrop on them once they left Kevin’s earshot. Andrew runs his tongue over his teeth. They aren’t sharp now. That’s the important thing.

As Andrew opens his mouth, Kevin appears behind the others. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing. I am ready to leave. Let’s go,” Andrew says, hopping down from his third row seat to the ground.

tfp for ww plss

"Was...? Lieutenant? How long was I asleep?"

Columbo, who had paused just inside the doorway, was staring at the pegboard and did not immediately respond. Dog waddled over and waited patiently for the span of six seconds before he barked, and Columbo started.
