i got the cutscene <3

[opens-up-4-nobody]

...

[urplepurplegurgleturgle]

you should definitely rant to me about your iteration if you can.. I would absolutely love to learn abt it to possibly draw our iteration turts interacting.. /nf

I LITERALLY SURPRESS A SCREECH OKAY OKAY OKAY OAKY HHHHH SO

TMNT: Found Family is a teetle iteration based off of my friends!! I only have the turtles drawn out (and April planned in my head) but!!! I do have some of the basics:

Donnie (He/Her): He's based off of Tomi!! She's 14, the youngest of the four bros. Typically quiet around people (unless she freaks the fuck out) but he yaps A LOT when she's either alone or with her siblings. A lot of people mistake him as a very meek and mild individual, but in reality he's a violent BEAST filled with rage. The #1 hater ever. But overall she's very silly and critter-like...

Leo (He/him): The second youngest, based off of me! I would've made myself Donnie but. Then I'd just be drawing my sona SO... yeah... I decided to go with Leo because the person I relate to the most (after MM Don, ofc) is Rise Leo. For. Various reasons. But yeah. He's a 16 year old shithead who looooves playing pranks and being a smartass. He's academically smart but SUPER dense (a lot of shit goes over his head..), but also somehow extremely cunning and witty. Despite being a ball of unhinged chaos, he still ends up caring for his siblings like a dad because he's also an Anxious Idiot. Oh also he has a severe case of RBF syndrome

Mikey (He/him): I based him off of Val, he's 17 years old and the second oldest. Gay as fuck, I haven't shown his design yet but he's. Literally a walking rainbow (and I mean LITERALLY... wait until you see his scale patterning). Like Leo, he's a little shithead who teams up with the blue boy to prank everyone within a five mile radius. He's also somehow even more insufferable than Leo. It's probably because he's gay (DON HOMOPHOBIC REAL!??11/??!?!??!? /j). Despite being a seemingly fiery ball of energy, he gets pretty quiet with strangers. Actually, ALL of them get quiet with strangers. Autism sibs unite or something idk

Raph (She/They): The oldest of them all, being 18 years old!! She's based off of my beloved nee-chan Phantom. The (appointed) leader of the group, she has a major case of the Eldest Daughter syndrome. She's a very caring figure of them all, but despite seeming mature and calm, she's just as chaotic as the rest of them. She won't hesitate to condone murder (for the right reasons, of course) and doesn't really reprimand any of her brothers for their shenanigans. If anything, she laughs and cheers them on. I mean, as long as no one's getting hurt, it's all good, right??

April (She/Her): April is also 14, standing next to Donnie age-wise. She's based off of Cin.. I haven't developed her as much since I don't have her design down yet, but as far as I've thought, she's a very mischievous creature.. think of Anya's smug little "heh" face. That's basically her entire personality /hj. Despite being a little bitch (/lhaff) she's very sweet and won't hesitate to comfort her friends and family. Best little sister ever <- not biased at all

As for the storyline.... uh... haha um I. Haven't really thought that far?? Ik for a fact Splinter (who I haven't developed in the slightest) finds all four of the turtles individually as time goes on, with Raph being the first, then Donnie, then Mikey, and then finally Leo. That's why my iteration is titled "found family", because they all literally found each other (unintentionally, but still).

A currently very much rapidly bleeding out Galileo casually teleported directly into the middle of the ✨equations room✨, in uniform and laying face on the ground.

“… Remind me not to single handedly try to- I’m not a soldi- hhhhh-“ He exhaled sharply, wincing.

(Bro stop getting shot smh, first benny, then this? Chill)

Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear! What happened to you? You're hurt! This is absolutely atrocious!You shouldn't have moved at all, you know! You could make the wound worse!

[He ogled at the blood staining Galileo's uniform, and grimaced when he saw the sheer amount of it]

Oh, the pain you must be in... Curse my lack of hands.. I suppose a more mobile auto-doc makes up for it, however!

[SKITTER SKITTER SKITTER]

Emph.. can you grab on to one of my screens and try to stand up? All you need to do is get in. He’s very docile, no need to worry!

[chaioticcoffee]

A/N: what no I'm not cringing at this

listen idk what this is I'm sorry if its wonky I made it on a whim I'm 💀💀💀 also I KNOW that I'm gonna be back to edit this like at least 10 times BUT SHHH

we dont talk abt the fact that I wrote this even tho I convinced myself that Tech isnt dead

on another note, I'll go back to ignoring canon now

again, sorry if there are any english mistakes hhhhh

Reunited in Death

Tech x Jedi!Reader (gender not specified)

_______________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

He didn't know where he was, really. It seemed like a void, but bright.

The last thing he remembered, he had collided with the hard ground after severing the connection hinge. It was painful, but the agony also went away swiftly, leaving behind a faint phantom pain.

His only logical conclusion was that perhaps he was alive, but most likely in some sort of coma and his mind has trapped him in here.

"Hello, my love." His thoughts were interrupted once he heard an all too familiar voice from behind him and he turned around swiftly to assess whether he should be concerned about the issue or not.

You could see his eyes widen behind his goggles when his eyes finally caught yours, those same eyes he hasn't seen ever since Order 66 came through.

"(Y/N)?" Now he was convinced that his mind was playing tricks on him.

The calculating and searching for an answer to this situation was very visible on his face and you couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He's still the same, even if he looked more tired. "The Force works in mysterious ways, do you remember that?"

"I... do.. However, I am.. not force-sensitive, as are you and the rest of the Jedis." Stars, hearing just how lost Tech seemed at that moment, it truly broke your heart.

"The statement still stands, cyare." You take a couple steps towards him.

"So... I am truly dead, then?"

A breath.

"Yes."

His eyes shift to his feet first, before slowly moving to look behind him, as if he could still see his squad behind him, Hunter's hand on his shoulder and his brothers and his sister looking at him with the same smile they had once they found that peaceful place of Pabu and saw Omega finally having fun.

He is once again brought back from his racing mind when he feels you take both of his hands in yours, your body in front of him, facing him.

"Tech, you did wonderful, okay? There's nothing you could have done otherwise. They're going to be okay, I know it. Now it's time for you to finally rest, and calm your mind."

Your arms circle around his waist, and Tech is unsure how to react. Is this real? Why was this happening? Was this really you? How was he supposed to believe this? How was he supposed to rest, when he knew the empire still have Crosshair, when he left his family behind? Everything was just so much to process at once, even for someone like Tech.

So Tech focused on the only for he did know. And that one thing, was that you were here with him, holding him and speaking to him after all this time apart. He will think about rest when his mind is clearer, no matter if you're real or not, because right now, you were the only thing grounding him.

So he returns your embrace, buries his face in into your shoulder, and finally allows himself to breathe.

Do You Hear the Rapture?

Everest, Amanda, Swatch, and Spamton walked in silence down a street of the SIMULACRUM so warped by glitches and errors that practically nothing looked in place there. Rolling fields intersected by skyscrapers that gave way to dying flowers the size of city blocks decorated the horizon, where a hateful red sun slowly rose, bathing the group in harsh light. As they made their way around jutting slabs of concrete that rose tens of feet into the air, Everest couldn’t help but think they were heading in the right and yet somehow wrong direction simultaneously. Were these fractals made of the architecture a sign that they were getting close to the center of this cancerous blight, or did it signify that they had roamed far beyond its borders? Perhaps such questions would be a waste of thought right now. She needed time, time to think clearly, to consider what will happen when this all ends, to reflect on her time trapped here, and perhaps most pressing of all … what to do with Swatch.

Though the tall butler was being carried in the mostly trustworthy arms of Spamton in his NEO suit, his condition had worsened significantly, the collapsing wound on his side now causing his whole body to shift and pulsate every few seconds. Everest hadn’t known Swatch all too well before she had been brought here, but after the many, many cycles she had spent down here, she had grown to see why Queen had trusted him so dearly when he was alive. It didn’t seem fair to her that after so much preparation on his part to take back the city he cared for from the hands of The Founder he might not get the chance to even see it freed …

No. She couldn’t be thinking like that. Swatch was gonna make it. He had to. They just needed to find the Nail, and this whole nightmare would be over … at least until the inevitable next one if their track record was to be accounted for. But Everest didn’t even know what she was looking for. Xanrir hadn’t specified to Hazel what this thing actually was, and thus her instructions were equally vague. All she and the rest of the group were really hoping for was the possibility of …

stumbling into it …

As if on cue with her thoughts, the group rounded a corner and suddenly standing before them was a massive obelisk constructed of black stone that, unlike the rough and jagged features of the rest of the SIMULACRUM, was unnaturally smooth. Near the peak, Everest could spot a suspended balcony that seemed to spiral up along the outside to the summit. She turned to Spamton.

“Could you fly while carrying one of us?”

“OF [[h o r s e]] 1 CAAN. yOU HEARD H3R, [[Free-Range Poultry]], WE’R E GOING UP!!1!!”

Swatch shifted uncomfortably in the puppet’s arms. “Just don’t you dare drop me …”

“HMMmMMM[[M&M]]MM … I’LL [[Consider the following …]]!”

Without another word, Spamton spread his massive wings and in a very janky fashion lifted Swatch up, up, and up towards the balcony far above. At a certain point, Everest couldn’t make out the details, only seeing the neon metal plates of the NEO suit against the blood red sky. Amanda nervously patted Rodney in her arms, the tiny Tasque letting out a slightly laggy purr in response, before looking to Everest.

“Do you think that was his attempt at a joke?”

“Perhaps. He’s been trying a lot of things recently. Getting on my laptop and posting something, for one.”

Amanda giggled. “Hehe. By the blade, you were so mad at him.”

“Can you blame me? I’m surprised the damn thing didn’t get malware installed just from him touching it.”

“Random question, but are you gonna let him keep the NEO suit when we get back to our world?”

“Hhhhh … Probably not. In here it helps to have a bit of a powerhouse. But … back in the city? I don’t know, that feels more like it behooves us.”

“But has he not earned it? How many times has he saved our lives just from having that thing on?”

Everest bit the inside of her cheek in contemplation before sighing. “… Amanda, do we really need to talk about this right now?”

“I mean … not really. W-We should stay focused, I’m sorry.”

There was awkward silence between the two until Spamton returned, having dropped Swatch off on the balcony. Amanda got flown up next, much to the dismay of Rodney, who Everest could hear yowling from the ground level. Finally, it was her turn. Getting carried up that high into the air with such inconsistent movements was rather terrifying, but the puppet’s confident look towards the skies helped keep her morale high enough. When her feet impacted the ground of the balcony, she let out a sigh of relief. Spamton landed soon afterward, scooping Swatch off the ground from the wall he had leaned him up against. Swatch let out an uncomfortable squawk as he pulsed with the beat of the collapsing wound more, more unstable this time.

Everest looked onward to the stairs leading up and around, and after just a bit more walking, they finally reached the epicenter from which this virulent realm spread. In the center of the roof was a raised dias which held a small effigy formed of flesh and metal alike. Its surface shifted with the same screaming faces that could be seen on A.B.Y.S.S’s body, implying a connection between the two. Everest knew now without a shadow of a doubt that this is what they had been looking for. This was the Nail …

Without another moment’s hesitation, she sprinted for the dias, her footsteps tapping along the surface of the roof in echoes as the group followed a second afterward. She was so close, within 50 feet of it, she could get out of here at last and live the life she was supposed to, before A.B.Y.S.S, before The Founder, before the Queen ever even died … she could finally live for herself.

But of course, it couldn’t be quite so easy. With the sound of static feedback, the profane god of the SIMULACRUM appeared right in front of Everest, its clawed hand outstretched. She couldn’t stop her momentum fast enough before A.B.Y.S.S wrapped its hand around her throat and threw her backwards, causing her to yell in pain as she hit the ground. Amanda ran up to her, placing Rodney on the ground before gently helping Everest to her feet. Spamton had his arm cannon raised and pointed at A.B.Y.S.S, arcane energy glowing at the barrel, and Swatch … Swatch was quietly murmuring something, inaudible to even the puppet that held him.

The bleeding machine’s twisted smile grew wider, the flesh merged to its head tearing just a bit more as he did so. With a moment of pause, it began to speak. “Well done, participants! It seems that your little search has gotten you right where you aimed to be. You’ve reached the catalyst of my control over your precious little world.” A.B.Y.S.S chuckled darkly, the leathery wings on his back folding close to himself. “I would say you’ve sacrificed much to get here, but we both know that isn’t true.”

Everest spoke out in a voice that shook with simultaneously anger and fear. “We left Marcus to die! Is that not enough for you!? Must you take any more?!?”

“Come now. I’m not a fool. I am this world’s eyes and ears after all, I heard your little conversation with Amanda that leaving him to be deleted was for the better.” One of the extra arms that curled over its shoulder pointed at Amanda, causing her to have to gulp down her fear. “He is not of concern for you, and thus his unwilling sacrifice is not enough. But … I will offer you a plead bargain.”

A.B.Y.S.S snapped its fingers as it lifted Swatch and Amanda up with some form of telekinesis. Amanda yelped in panic as the entity pulled her close before stabbing one of its claws into her shoulder, immediately infecting her with a collapsing wound, now just as bad as Swatch’s. As Amanda fell silent, Everest let out a furious shout of rage. “NO! DON’T YOU TOUCH HER!! GIVE THEM BACK!”

A.B.Y.S.S turned to her and laughed raising both in the air higher. “Everest K. Addison … it is time for you to make a choice. Who lives … and who dies? This is the price you must pay for meddling behind my back, turning my own sibling against me, and sending me back to square one.”

Spamton fired a beam of energy at A.B.Y.S.S, which the entity took to the face to little effect. The puppet shouted, “HE-H-HEY!! [[Hands off the merchandise!]]! GIVe SW4<TCH [[Backspace]]!!!”

“It is not your choice to make, puppet. And unless you want to be going home two friends short, I suggest you do not attempt to harm me again.” A.B.Y.S.S was clearly reveling in the choice paralysis he had inflicted upon Everest, especially now with Spamton staring at her, trying to persuade her to save Swatch.

Everest opened her mouth to say something, when she noticed something … very subtle. Swatch’s eyes, though he was hanging mostly limp in the air, were flashing with light. Blinking on and off. On and off. She had a brief recall to when she had written a message in Morse code all that time ago, and suddenly the blinking made sense to her. Swatch was transmitting a short message, two words long:

SAVE

HER

Everest looked down, sorrow welling up in her chest as she took a deep, shaky breath. “I choose … Amanda … to be saved.” As soon as the words left her mouth, she fell to her knees, tears forming in her eyes. Spamton stood still for several moments, glitching, his glasses crackling with static. His emotions were not very clear, but whatever A.B.Y.S.S sensed in there … it was enough.

The entity cackled, lowering Amanda to the ground slowly before centering Swatch above itself. “As you wish. Swatch will never see his world free again.” A beam of piercing red light struck down over A.B.Y.S.S and Swatch, causing the collapsing wound on Swatch to instantly flare up. The corvid butler let out a pained scream as the wound ruptured.

Layer by layer, Swatch was slowly dissolved into nothing, a pile of scrap and organic material no longer recognizable as himself. It started with his feathers, and almost plastic skin, revealing a deep layer of lead-lined metallic plating, supposedly a measure he used to avoid detection by the CIFT throughout the years he was in hiding. Below that lay a complex layout of pipes, gears and wiring that flailed as the connections between them were snapped over and over. When it hit the last few organs Swatch still had that were organic, it left little but a sickly puddle of blood and bile.

Throughout the whole process, Everest could not bear to look at Swatch through his screams and death rattles. Spamton, however just stared onwards, absorbing every detail. But … finally, after wretchedly too long, it was over, and A.B.Y.S.S gave a mocking little bow before fading from sight.

Everest crawled over to Amanda, lifting her up and supporting her. The entity had kept its promise, to her luck, as the newly opened wound began to shrivel back into healthy flesh on the Lightner’s body. Amanda let out a few shaky breaths, seemingly not having been fully conscious for Swatch’s execution. Everest breathed quietly, “We’re getting out of here. Now.”

She let go of Amanda, seeing as she could steady herself now, and sprinted the remaining distance to the dias that held the Nail, this twisted little effigy. Everest grabbed it off the pedestal before throwing it onto the ground and stomping it as hard as she possible could. With a twist of her foot, the effigy let out a satisfying crunch and was destroyed.

Over the course of the next few moments, a blinding white light would flash in the far distance, slowly spreading to where the tower the group was standing on was. Before the light could consume them, Everest, Amanda and Rodney, and Spamton all disappeared. They awoke to find themselves trapped in three different pods of flesh, the pestilent black tumors A.B.Y.S.S had used to integrate them in the first place, now shriveling up. They ripped the weakened flesh away from themselves and crawled out, Amanda and Everest coughing as they crawled away. Spamton simply rose from his pod, gazed around for a moment, and then immediately flew off to somewhere in the city.

The dark fountain that gave life to the CIFT home world was no longer shining red, its corruption purged at last. Perhaps … things could start to recover now, if given the right care.

… But there was one who now was stuck wandering in the dark.

Marcus Baal trudged through the endless shadows of the Greater Void, his binary code for a body flickering unstably. It seemed that with the deletion of the SIMULACRUM, Marcus too got deleted with it. It was clear to the entities that surrounded him on all sides that he would not make it to the Market in time to be saved. But … what he would become interested all of them deeply.

Wayne Munson thoughts because I was thinking about him so much last night that I made myself sad.

Encouraged by @sparks363 @niceboyeds @pleasantlycrazyworld aaaand @stevesmunsons😭🙏🫂💕

This is MOSTLY Eddie & Wayne interactions, some Eddie x Reader, mentions of canon events (Eddie's death very very vaguely referenced because we all know I haven't seen episode nine), Hawkins gang talked about, there is me gushing over Uncle Wayne, Eddie thoughts, Uncle Wayne thoughts.... I just have a lot of words about Uncle Wayne right now and I'm letting everything spill out in a conscious stream; no editing or planning, just me going ham on my keyboard while wearing my Munson Motivation Outfit during a prolonged study break because I gotta get all this out before it drives me insane!!!!! Used every tag I could think of because I spoke of lots of different things here and wanted to cover all my bases.

Wayne Munson.

I'm gonna get into my actual thoughts on him in a minute but first, I gotta gush because this man is the bestest, sweetest, most wonderful dad in all of Hawkins, nay, in all of Indiana. He raised Eddie so beautifully and he instantly knew Eddie didn't do it and he didn't even question it and just defended Eddie time and time again. I just love Wayne Munson so much hhhhhh I wanna approach him all slow and careful and sort of awkwardly stand there because I'm not very good at verbalising my wants, and then edge a bit closer. Maybe he'd raise an arm, already knowing what I want, and I would let myself step in to the hug I would've been thinking about for hours before asking for it in my own way, or maybe I'd get swept up into a great big bear hug which would have me in tears in seconds or maybe he'd pat me on the top of the head and let his hand rest there on my crown for a few seconds and then hug me hhhhh I wouldn't care. I am very awkward in real life and i find it hard to verbalise or even admit when I want something, but I feel like Uncle Wayne would know me and give me the hugs when I try to ask for them.

Or maybe I wouldn't have to ask for them because he would just know. My Munson Motivation Outfit came out in the wash yesterday and I nearly cried hhhhh I gotta smash out that assignment today - and it's a big one - and I'm wearing it and still thinking of Uncle Wayne and Eddie and my heart is aching for the Munsons hhhhh I love Uncle Wayne and he's the bestest dad and he and his boy deserved so, so much better. Wearing 'their' clothes makes me feel so soft and warm and safe and cosy and genuinely helps me focus when I gotta study because it's like they're with me.🥺

Okay so, gushing isn't done but you get the gist and now, thoughts!!!!

I have no doubt that in time, Uncle Wayne would have adopted the rest of the Hawkins gang; he warmed up to Nancy relatively quickly once he realised that she was there to talk to him and offer him some comfort and he was the one who told her about Victor Creel (the way he instantly knew his boy didn't do it😭) so that she and Robin got the ball rolling on solving the issue at hand. They wouldn't have been able to do anything if Uncle Wayne hadn't been the one to mention Victor Creel. He's literally the reason they found the Upside Down like they did (without El to guide them, of course; if they had had El and her powers when they needed her, then season four likely would have gone very differently as far as Hawkins' events are concerned).

Based on the way he let his walls down just a little with Nancy within just five minutes, (don't ask me about That Scene with Dustin because I still haven't watched episode nine so while I'm aware of it. it's not gonna be discussed here but yeah, Dustin would be adopted too after Nancy) and it'd snowball into the whole gang being adopted by Uncle Wayne, whether they have family or not.

Everyone needs and deserves an Uncle Wayne; if you can't find one, be one. That's what he taught Eddie; he is to Eddie what Eddie became to Hellfire Club and Corroded Coffin. All those lost little sheepies out there need a sheperd to tend to the flock, and no two people understand that better than the Munsons do. Honouring them by taking inspiration from the lessons they taught us is something which they would truly appreciate and adore, and you'd score yourself a bear hug from the both of them.

If you're kind to people, if you're genuine and you're you, then Wayne Munson would have respect turned fondness turned love for you and you would be someone he'd be happy to have around, especially if you love Eddie. They're a package deal; you can't get one Munson without the other (and why would you want just one of them?) and if one loves you, then the other does, too. (I also feel like if Uncle Wayne doesn't like you - you'd have to be a Grade A Asshole for that, though, then it would make Eddie question everything about his friendship or relationship with you. Uncle Wayne's gut instinct is never wrong.)

They mean so much to each other that Uncle Wayne wants to love you almost immediately when he finds out that Eddie loves you (and the same concept with Eddie's friends, too) because you must be a good one if his boy loves you! He would watch you carefully at first but then the first time he sees you laughing with Eddie (not at him - Uncle Wayne knows the difference, he sees it every day), the first time he catches you smiling at Eddie with your feelings for him written all over your face when Eddie's not even looking at you, he's up to his elbows in soapy dish water as he does the chores he promised he would do, the first time Uncle Wayne sees you cry because you miss Eddie but he's literally just in the bedroom and you're outside on the benches with Uncle Wayne, he realises what's going on and Uncle Wayne melts to realise that now, Eddie has people who love him for him - he has you, the Hawkins gang, he has his dad... Uncle Wayne melts when he finds out people love his boy.

His melting shows itself in quiet ways - he'll make extra coffee because he knows you tend to want one when he does, he'll leave the heater on when he leaves for work because you'll be cold when you come in and he wants you to have a warm place to come back to, he'll leave his flannel around for you and Eddie to wear - he knows the both of you take turns wearing it or even sleeping with it when he's working long and lonely nights at the plant. He'll be there for you at three AM when there's no one left to call but your sorrow is trying to murder you, he'll be there for you at ten AM when your dishwasher doesn't work and you can't figure out why, he'll be there for you when you go grocery shopping together and you haven't quite figured out how to meal plan on a budget yet... Uncle Wayne will be there for you, through it all. You cannot disappoint or anger him, even if you try, and if you do try, then he'll just raise his shoulders in that weary way he has and ask you what you're trying to achieve here. The fact that he doesn't shout or raise his voice makes you feel worse somehow.

So, yeah, if you manage to crack through Wayne Munson's gruff exterior, which is doable but it'll take patience and persistence. He's seen too much of the bad things in the world, he's Eddie's shield, his guardian and protector, and he's more cynical than even Eddie claims to be, full of anger is he at all that he and Eddie have endured thus far in your lives, but keep going, keep persisting and be honest in yourself. You'll find that Uncle Wayne is just as gooey as Eddie is. He melts often, but for no one more so than Eddie. His boy. His son.

Uncle Wayne gave Eddie a home. He gave him the only bedroom in the trailer. I think Uncle Wayne has had Eddie since Eddie was maybe six or seven years old; he's raised his boy. I think his 'dad' is in prison and his mum is dead (based off things Joe has said in interviews), and because Joel (Wayne Munson's actor) said that Uncle Wayne saw what Eddie went through with his 'parents' and wanted to protect him, I took all that to mean that he's had Eddie since he was younger than ten. Which means, Uncle Wayne has voluntarily slept on a fold-out bed in his own living room for at least a decade. He immediately defended Eddie, he spent all those six days Eddie was missing looking for him, replacing vandalised missing posters tirelessly and undoubtedly, defending him against what people were saying, too. The amount of love Uncle Wayne has for Eddie is incredible, and the way Eddie says "my Uncle, he, uh, he works at the plant. Bringing home the big bucks" was casual, and maybe I'm projecting or looking for things which aren't there, but he sounded so proud, too. I hope that, if anything, the Munsons at least knew how loved they were by each other. Canon gave them nothing but I hope that they had the knowledge that they loved each other, at least. At least.

Eddie and Uncle Wayne are like ships in the night. When Eddie is at school, Uncle Wayne is asleep. When Eddie comes home from school or all the extracurriculars he does - drama club, Hellfire Club, spending time in the library looking for the latest fantasy releases, maybe even spending time in the music rooms so he can get tips from the teacher on how to more effectively teach himself by heart and ear Metallica's latest album, Uncle Wayne is out his way to go to work. They exchange smiles, nods, a clap on the shoulder each instead of a hug because there's no real time for that. Or maybe Eddie will go inside and then dart back outside, black curls flying everywhere as a blur of denim and black throws itself at Uncle Wayne just as he's opening his truck door, and gets caught in a hug because damn it, boy, stop throwin' yourself like that, and then Eddie lets him go with a tight smile and Uncle Wayne sighs wearily because I miss you too, son.

Before Eddie goes to school every morning, he gets the trailer ready for his dad to come home. He pulls out the fold-out bed or if he knows Uncle Wayne's back has been especially troubling, he'll haphazardly strip the sheets on his bed and remake them so that Uncle Wayne can sleep there instead of on the fold-out, he gets towels warmed up on the radiators so that his dad has towels there after his shower, he puts the products in the shower itself and gets out the dinner he cooked in advance last night so that all Uncle Wayne has to do when he comes home is kick his shoes off, shower, reheat dinner, and sleep. And any spare cash he has left over after buying the stuff he needs to make D&D props (or begging the art department for any leftovers or things the Head won't noticed missing - Eddie is well liked by the teachers in the Arts and Humanities departments of Hawkins High) or filling up his van or buying school supplies, is given to his Uncle. Not formally, it's just left laying around with a note which says, "in case you need", but it helps. It really helps. And that's why Eddie does what he does. He does the best with what he has and wants to do everything possible to thank his dad for taking him in and always looking after him.

Eddie feels like he owes Uncle Wayne his literal life, but Uncle Wayne feels like Eddie made his life.

They never really say it, but they both know.

Uncle Wayne always thanks him by having a cup of coffee brewing for Eddie, waiting for when he comes home. Sometimes the timing is off so that the coffee is almost cold by the time Eddie gets it, but he nukes it in the microwave or just drinks it as it is. He loves it because his dad made it.

Likewise, Uncle Wayne always makes sure that he doesn't notice where the drugs are stashed around the trailer (he doesn't approve, necessarily, but as long as Eddie doesn't get caught, he'll let his son do what he's gotta do to get by), he makes sure that Eddie always has food and water and a roof over his head, he makes sure that Eddie's room is liveable and helps Eddie to keep it tidy, sometimes he'll rent something from Family Video for Eddie to come home to, fill up the van with gas if he can afford it...

The Munsons are ships in the night but they love each other as loud as they can.

There are times, rare though they are, when the Munsons get to be home together. Maybe Eddie is sick or it's one of Uncle Wayne's days off, or maybe it just worked out that way and Eddie's practically vibrating where he stands because he's just so excited to get to be home uninterrupted with his dad! They spend the day together watching television or spending time together separately. Eddie on the floor of the living room, playing guitar, writing down notes for his next campaign or doing some homework (he really wants to graduate, why else would he put himself through senior year three times? Eddie isn't the problem, it's the school!), maybe he'll ask Uncle Wayne for an answer to one of the questions every now and then and just like always, Uncle Wayne will encourage Eddie to try on his own and if he can't do it after the third time, then he'll help Eddie, getting down on the floor beside him until the two of then are puzzling it out together and before they know it, it's been three hours and Eddie still hasn't finished his physics homework but he's made his dad laugh so much he's pretty sure they've each busting a lung, and that's more important!

In any case, day bleeds into night and they go to bed, Eddie to his room and Uncle Wayne on the sofa, and maybe Eddie has a nightmare or he wakes up and can't go back to sleep, but whatever the reason, he sneaks past a sleeping Uncle Wayne and goes to have a smoke outside, and when he comes back in, Uncle Wayne is sat with his elbows on his knees, his flannel on but open, rubbing at his hand with a tired hand.

"You okay, son?"

"Yeah, I just - " Eddie sighs, ruffles his own hair, "Can't sleep, man."

"Why?" That upward lilt in his dad's voice always makes Eddie smile and right now is no different.

"Nightmare, I guess."

Just like with always, Uncle Wayne melts and he lays back, getting comfortable in his bed again. Eddie is twenty years old, but he's always crawled into his dad's bed after a nightmare, and he will always do that, because that's who the Munsons are. Whatever Eddie wants in terms of affection or love, Uncle Wayne will give it to him because everything is tight in their household except love, and so Eddie receives it in abundance.

"C'mere, Eddie,"

Eddie is twenty years old but he feels no shame in shuffling across the trailer and climbing into his Uncle's bed. There's no awkwardness, they've known each other too damn long, and Eddie brings his knees to his chest and rolls so that his face is buried in the soace just above his dad's heart, so that he can hear and feel that his dad is alive and that he, Eddie, is totally safe.

"S'okay, son," Uncle Wayne roughly pets Eddie's hair, his other arm around Eddie's shoulders, and he manages to lull Eddie's heartbeat to a more relaxed pace, "you know you're safe here."

Eddie makes a sleepily noise and Uncle Wayne chuckles. "Never been any different, Eddie, have you?" Stroking Eddie's hair always puts him out like a light and it never fails to turn Uncle Wayne to mush.

"Love you, dad." It's a sleepy mumble, barely audible, but whether he's painfully silent or shouting at the very top of his lungs, Uncle Wayne will always hear his Eddie, his boy.

"Love you too, son."

And Eddie sleeps.

Uncle Wayne stays awake, like all those nights before, watching his son sleeping, watching over him like the guardian and protector he swore he would always be from the moment he found out that Eddie was to be his boy. He doesn't even want to think about what their lives would be like if he hadn't received that phone call offering him legal parental rights over Edward Munson. So, yes, Uncle Wayne melts for Eddie, but Eddie melts for Uncle Wayne, too, the man who gave him a home and more love than he's ever gonna know what to do with. Everything Eddie does is his attempt to say thank you, though Uncle Wayne would do it all over again and again and again for his boy.

Calling each other 'dad' and 'son' was never something either really thought about, it was a natural progression over months and years of living together, and neither Munson would have it or each other any other way.

The Munsons were the best thing that ever happened to each other.

(I probably have more thoughts in my head somewhere but it's been two hours and I gotta get back to this assignment hhhh I love and miss the Munsons so, so much. They both deserved better and every day I try to honour them and what they taught me by being the best me I can in all things. Shit's exhausting but they get me through.🙏💗)

[bugcatcherwill]

I DON'T EVEN THINK I CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAST CHAPTER MAN [IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE] I JUST. YOU COOKED MAN AS ALWAYS CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE

I think I've said this before [I think it was on anon but I SWEAR it was me just before I got comfortable sending asks off of anon out of fear of sounding stupid or something G RHJFJEJFJFJ] but oh my fuck dude Kobb and Rezek's friendship [🏳️‍🌈 /silly] is SO SPECIAL TO ME especially because I've been rereading the earlier chapters of ratc so I can explain the plot better to my qpp and god I love seeing how far they've come it FUCKS ME UP SO BAD /POS

The way they both went from being so distrustful and angry with each other to this IMMENSELY VISCERAL UNBREAKABLE TRUST AND FAITH between them. The way Kobb was the first out of ANYONE that Rezek told about Frifer. The way that Kobb was the first one it felt comfortable/safe enough with to hug [after they left Korok Forest way earlier on in the story] and probably just be that close with in general. THE WAY THEY STILL FIGHT AND ARGUE SOMETIMES BUT ALWAYS MAKE UP AND GROW CLOSER WITH EVERY MISTAKE. The way that in the last chapter Rezek was the one to stop Sledge from charging into the Lynels when they thought it had killed Kobb because it SO INTENSELY BELIEVED AND TRUSTED that Kobb would be okay, and how it knew it was still alive when they all teleported back to Akkala before it even sat back up. GOD YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

I've been calling then stormshelter,, thinking of other names but I might just stick with that,, UGG HHHHH THEY'RE SO LOVELY THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT TO ME WILLNYOU COOKED SO HARD WITH YOUR CHARACTERS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

YEAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH

God I could talk about Rezek and Kobb for hours it's unreal. One part that I really love about their dynamic is that usually when you see clashing within the party in fiction it's over misunderstanding and/or hearing the wrong parts of convos (which I can't stand which is why they will never appear here lol)

But no Rezek and Kobb are both "Oh, I understand everything. I just think you're wrong" lajhskdfasdk

I still remember back during the Korok Forest arc where I was like "okay who's going to be the one to get everyone to go back to Rezek". At first I was gonna make it Sledge since it had its whole first encounter with Rezek and knew it was hiding more than it let on. But I ultimately decided on Kobb because I was like "No. It would be such a good example of Kobb's character if it was the one to go back to Rezek instead."

I JUST GRAHHHHHHHH KOBB NEVER EVER GIVES UP!!!!!

I feel like it was THAT moment that solidified what I really wanted to do with Kobb. And then its dynamic with Rezek as consequence. LIKE REZEK THOUGHT ALL OF THEM WOULD GIVE UP ON IT WHEN THE INEVITABLE HAPPENED BUT THEY DIDN'T AND THE ONE IT CLASHED WITH THE MOST SPEARHEADED THEM RECONCILING AAAAAAAAAA

AND THAT LED TO KOBB BEING THE FIRST THAT REZEK OPENED UP TO ABOUT FRIFER LIKE U SAID YEA YEA

MY FAVORITE CONTRAST BETWEEN THEM, PERSONALLY, IS HOW THEY'RE EQUALLY EMOTIONAL/ANALYTICAL BUT IN OPPOSITE WAYS

Kobb's very emotionally controlled while Rezek has a tendency to let its emotions get the better of it. BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES TO COMBAT THEY'RE THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Kobb is often a little too eager to hop into battle (as seen in the Rito AND Lynel arc) to prove a point, while Rezek is EXTREMELY controlled and patient while in battle. (Exceptions notwithstanding Rezek was just being a little silly in its duel with Ire).

WHICH MAKES THE MOMENT WHERE REZEK GOES "I still believe" HIT SO HARD because it has so much trust in the combat-side of its brain when it says that Kobb is still alive it believes it 200%.

Stormshelter tho omg,,,,,,

[forsakenprogam]

YOUR SO REAL ON ODIN, the hoe has been standing his fat whore ass doing no shit while his annoying ass birds just talk shit 24/7 all he does is jugde everyone lol😂 (btw I don't hate odin he just doing nothing)

Ngl don't get it either but whatever it not like it is the worst ship...there is worse than...that..😖😭 Don't talk about loki x Okita....no offens but ewww....

Tbh in my opinion Adamas needs justice he was done so fucking dirty he just wanted a fucking relationship with poseidon but EMMM POSEIDON HIGH GOD ASS WAS TOO COOL TO EVEN BOND WIRH HIS BROTHER🙄🙄🙄,I don't really like poseidon because of character and actions. The stans too...BIG NO..they get all offenvise when you mention poseidon actions....hhhhh😭

POSEIDON I FUCKING HATE YOU.

I know he loved by almost 99% of the fandom but who gives fuck can't deny his horrible actions.

Anubis is innocent i refuse to believe that this cute innocent dog is evil right???😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hercules i love him too bad that he got bombed by jack.😓😓 If the author had chosen for Hercules to be alive than it would been amazing and we fans would gotten to see his relationship with jack because he dosen’t seem to have any hard feeling towards Jack.

☆👓-anon.

Bruh the only time I have ever seen Odin talk was when his bitchass was pressed over Buddha joining humanity’s side. And from what I can can remember, Buddha was like “Ugh, broken record much?” He was so real for that. Odin thought he was scary with stanky-ass aura and that booming voice in the anime💀

Also. POSEIDON HAS PRETTY PRIVILEGE AND NO ONE CAN PROVE ME OTHERWISE. He’s literally such a dick for no reason than just being a hater, And he gets so adored by many people. Like I don’t hate his fans, it’s the VERY obsessed ones that I hate.

And adamas does need some justice fr. He wanted to bond with his younger brother but noooo… POSEIDON DECIDED HE WAS WAY TOO GOOD FOR HIM AND KILLED HIM…

Spoilers in case you aren’t caught up yet!

Wait, I think he survived the attack though, because of Beelzebub turning him into a cyborg. And that was the only W Beelzebub got in this series.

And I highly doubt that the writer would make Anubis evil, Like he doesn’t seem like the type to be like that.

I’m honestly okay with Jack the Ripper winning, because I liked the both of them and would have been fine when at least one of them survived. But I’m still sad that Hercules died, he could’ve had a lot of potential in the series😭🙏

[bellafragolina]

*props my feet up on the desk*

I feel like being nice for a change~

===

So just imagine with me for a second, how big a step it would be for exPlasma!Reader to move in with the twins? Cuz one of the many (manymanymaaaaany) obstacles for the soulmates was the twins being public figures with a lot to lose if they were seen associating with a former terrorist. If one tabloid got wind of Ingo and Emmet being soulmates with a criminal, there’s always the chance that half the city would disown them and the other half would pull the whole, “Oh how terrible! We’re so sorry you two have to go through something like this! You poor dears, you’re so brave!” etc, etc…

Buuuuuuuut, the twins being famous also gives them the perfect platform to try and make things better - not just for their soulmate, but for everyone else whose lives Team Plasma stole and ruined. After all, Ingo and Emmet are two-thirds of Unova’s beloved Nimbasa Trio, some of the strongest trainers in the world - if anyone could get away with saying “fuck you” to the haters, it’d be them.

Oh, you think people like Reader had any choice in the matter? That they deserve hatred because they were kidnapped and brainwashed and mentally tortured into doing Team Plasma’s bidding? No. Incorrect. They’re victims, and what they deserve is help and kindness and a chance to start over once their community service is done. And yes, this applies to all of Plasma’s abducted members. Now either go play in traffic or educate yourself, the Subway Masters are Very Disappointed™️ in you.

And no, Mister Faceless Reporter #25, the twins are not just “letting Reader stay with them out of the goodness of their hearts,” nor is Reader “a pity case” or a “publicity stunt.” No, you cannot interview them, leave Reader alone, they’ve been through enough (and also the twins aren’t their keepers, that’s gross.) No, the twins don’t care if this means people might start “boycotting the battle lines,” but dragons help anyone who tries to start something in Gear Station because you will be immediately kicked out and banned for life.

And hell, even if Reader isn’t living with them during all of this, just to have the boys publicly stand up for them, regardless of the potential backlash, would be massive. Ingo and Emmet stand to lose more than Reader does by doing this - their reputations, their careers, so much. And for them to go, “yeah nooooo, not hiding this anymore, done putting our image before our soulmate, thanks,” would be one hell of a way to start proving they really do plan on making that second chance Reader gave them count.

(Ultimately, I think the grand majority of Nimbasa would be on their side, so everything would turn out okay, but it’d still be nerve wracking for a hot minute there.)

~Spark💥

hhhhh

maybe the reader says, ok. ok, fine. i'll stay, i won't run from you, but i dunno about anything more than. . . being civil.

and the twins RUN WITH IT

they make sure that whenever they see the reader, they're so sweet. they say their greetings, give them little gifts, bring out their pokemon for the reader to pet if they choose. they don't care who sees, but arceus bless the bastard that tries to approach and say something bad about you to them

"you're aware that is a former team plasma member, right?"

"you don't have to put up with them because they're your soulmate!"

"i can't believe you two would associate with a criminal!"

ingo is better with words, but emmet is happy to step up and be blunt, to the point. don't talk about them like that. you don't know them, what their life was, so you have no right to judge and belittle someone trying to start their life over and start it right. if it bothers you that much, leave, and let them enjoy what little time the reader is comfortable spending with them

slowly, maybe things get better. the reader joins them in trips to the park, where their pokemon are out and playing, eager to get to know this new friend. and the reader reminiscences about their own pokemon, about their life, listening to the twins do the same.

the barest touching of the tips of fingers becomes intertwined pinkies before a goodbye. polite nods and hellos turn into small waves and smaller smiles. casual small talk turns into deeper conversations littered with bits of banter.

and the twins eat it up, revel in what little they get of it. this is the second chance they both wanted for so long; they'll be damned if they waste it.

they'll do anything to earn another little smile or a quiet giggle from you. they go home every night after seeing you and just gush to one another about how you did this or that. you smiled at them! you laughed at their joke! you made baby talk to their pokemon and didn't care if they heard you! you held their hand and squeezed it before going home!!!!

they're desperately in love, and so, so, so grateful to have you back in their lives after their horrible screw up from before

no nosy reporter is going to ruin it for them. and if someone obnoxious shatters your progress, scaring you back into the closed off person you were?

the twins have no mercy and new overpowered pokemon to play with.

but they have endless patience for you, especially now that they've caught of glimpse of what the future could be

~Renee

[stiffyck]

what's your fav thing abt gw2? (i wanna play it but i dont like going into games completely blind so i'd love to hear why in particular you like it-)

theres a lot of stuff that i like and its gonna be a longer post skjdhfsk so im putting it under the cut:

the mounts. theyre so fun. i absolutely love all the mounts. i have all of them rn and hhhhh i love them.

the raptor is good for long jumps, great for just running around random maps. the springer is good for vertical jumps when you need to get somewhere higher up. the skimmer is a water and underwater mount for getting over water (and quicksand which otherwise kills you) fast. the jackal can teleport and jump through sand portals. the griffon is a gliding mount thats best used when youre up high. just jump down, gain some speed and just soar through the map with high speed. its the most fun mount in my opinion. not very well shown in my quick video sdkjfhs. the skyscale is basically just a dragon. it can fly, shoot fire and latch onto walls. a very universal mount. the hardest one to get. the siege turtle is for two players! the person who controls the turtle can stomp with it and just run around (it can go underwater) and the person in the back can shoot the canons on the side of the turtle! the siege turtle is good for, well, sieges. if you need to break a wall the turtle is great for that. the warclaw! you wont use that one very often in the open world. the warclaw is the only mount that can be used in wvw. it can jump, give others players around you a speed boost, it can tear down doors to castles etc.. the roller beetle is a fast racing mount. usually peoeple will use the beetle for races that happen around the world or you can use them for traversing big open planes and maps! fast and fun to use!

next! casual lgbtq+ rep. characters who use they/them pronouns, npcs in same sex relationships, etc. its all just very casual and not a big deal. also every year theres an official pride parade where people dye their armor and their mounts in the colors of their flags! its always very colorful and fun!

customization. you can do quite a lot when it comes to character customization. not only the character itself but also tons of cool armor skins you can collect. sylvari for example can have basically any color skin you can think of. theyre literally plants. you can have a pink sylvari, yellow, green, blue, etc. they also glow in the dark and you can pick the color of that glow too! its so fun to just create cool looking characters and then running around with them. fashion wars is a thing. theres a LOT of cosmetics you can get.

most armor also can be dyed any color you have unlocked! and theres a LOT of dyes!

another thing i really enjoy is the combat style! you dont just stand in one place while you cast a spell or whatever. most attacks and skills let you move while youre casting them. its very flowy and very satisfying to play with. also a lot of variety when it comes to different builds. most classes can also do basically all 3 of the main roles you need for content like strikes, raids, etc. which is a healer, boon dps and dps. a healer with always also provide some boons and boon dps should fill the boons the healer cannot provide.

i personally love playing qdps (dps providing quickness which makes your skill animation and casting faster) and aheal (alacrity heal. alacrity makes the cooldowns go faster.)

the story is also fun! the commander needs to get therapy in the next story part or i swear to god-

theres much more i could find but i feel like ive been rambling for long enough-

[cherry-bomb-ships]

7 and 8 for the animation asks? For da monke ofc ;3 @rexscanonwife

HHHHH Thanks baaaaabe 💗💗💗 8 was already answered but I can still do 7!!

7) Does your f/o’s color palette mean anything to their character? 

Ohohohoho lets fucking goooo I actually noticed and have been thinking about this recently >:3 💖💖 So. One thing that usually has a factor in drawing me to characters is being able to appreciate their design (when it applies) and good god I LOVE Craig McCracken so much cuz all the designs in PPG fuckin SLAP, and Mojo is no exception 💖💖 I wont go too crazy into it here cuz this ask is JUST asking abt the colors used (and also I'm too tired to get into all that) but let's look at the colors used in his design and have a lil discussion on it uwu (also i have very few screenshots on hand forgive me this is what i got aAUH)

ehehehehehe 💖💖💖 ANYWAY, there is one thing that I'm surprised took me as long as it did to notice, and for anyone who knows abt color theory and the color wheel, I'll give you a second to try to think of what.... ok time's up. What I noticed that I thought was very clever in his design is that they ONLY used the "cool colors" side of the color wheel for his palette!

For those that don't know, red, orange and yellow are "warm" colors and green, blue, and purple are "cool" colors, and I think that its so smart that not only did they use only cool colors but they used ONE shade of each color, instead of different tones of each. I am a huge believer in less being more in design and I have such admiration for GOOD character designs that have an extremely limited palette, and other than anything on the grayscale, Mojo's palette consists of only 4 colors. I also do adore the fact that the one and only spot they used a warm color was the reddish-pink of his eyes, which is genius because red is on the opposite end of the color wheel to green so it complements the green of his skin so nicely and adds to his mutated look, plus it feels symbolic of how quick he is to "see red" when his plans go awry 😅💖💖

Ok last thing cuz this has gone long enough but one thing I rly wanna point out and praise is the use of white in his design! It's practically a universal rule in color design that white=good and dark=evil, so I find the use of so much white on a villain character to be so interesting, but it looks so striking and especially stands out against his black fur and the darker colors of his palette.

💜 ask game here! 💜

So , Sprigg was kind enough to let me borrow this … device for a bit ! Toorie and Mondo are off doing … something , at the moment , and Sprigg told me to write about something here , but I do not remember what they told me to write .

What did you see?

Er … what ?

In the vision. What did you see in the vision?

That , I … may not be able to answer .

…What do you mean?

I do not remember much things from visions , including what I said or saw .

Dammit.

… However , I do remember a few things .

Wait, like what? What do you remember?

…

…Mauna?

Dust . I remember … seeing dust .

Dust? Well, that isn’t very helpful, that’s for su-

And statues . Statues that … resembled the Celestials .

Wait, what?!

Rubble and debris , too . Mostly bricks that were a coral-orange in color …

(Sprigg can be seen writing things down in a notebook, using their mouth to hold a pen.)

Mhgo on.

… I think I may also remember seeing what looked like a stone with inscriptions on it , under all of the debris .

Mhwhat did the inshcripshionsh shay?

I do not remember .

(Sprigg spits out the pen.)

Oh, okay.

…What did the stone look like?

It was-

*SMACK!*

Scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape…

Uh , what was that ??

I’ll go check.

(Sprigg runs over to the hotel room window and opens it with their leafstalk. They then look down to see Flitz lying face-down on the ground.)

Flitz crashed.

… Oh , right . Tweedles cannot see glass . The same applies for any birdlike Monster .

FLIITZ?

THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

(Flitz tries to lift her head up to face Sprigg peering down from the window. She flies up.)

ugh… uh, sorry, Sprigg! it’s just, uhh-

What?

…you will NOT believe what just happened to Finci.

What happened to him?

come with me!

(Flitz zips away.)

WAIT—

Let us go follow her !

(Mauna grabs Sprigg and brings them with her down the Hotel staircase. They run across Toorie and Mondo, standing in the doorway.)

… What Are They Doing ?

idk but we should probably follow them

Okay .

(Toorie and Mondo follow their friends, who are following Flitz, who is flying to the Air Island Castle.)

What’s All This About ??

oh, uh, Toorie! Finci, he, uh, well, she-

HOLY HECK, SHE GOT MUTED!

theo-

(uhhh tagging my moot @paidexp bcs the Bird is here again!! sorry if I’m annoying you hhhhh-)

FINCI GOT MUTED! HOW-

WHA??

theo, please stop overreacting. you’re acting like how Urc was when-

ONE OF MY FRIENDS ISN’T ABLE TO SAY *ANYTHING* ANYMORE!! WE’VE GOTTA HELP HIM!!

ugh.

How the hell did a loud-ass fucker like Finci get muted??

I dunno! Maybe it’s the same thing that got Adelynn last night!

There is a chance .

oh, Mauna! you’re here! wh-

This may have something to do with the vision I had …

uh what

———————————————————————————————————

(The crowd around the muted Air Wubbox continues to chatter.)

Oh . So THAT’S What All The Ruckus Is About …

damn

2 muted monsters in one week

“Finci, can you say something?”

(Finci tries to open her mouth.)

…

(Nothing comes out.)

“Oh, he really IS muted…”

“How did this happen?!”

“Maybe she just lost his voice!”

“After what happened to Adelynn last night? I don’t think so.”

I’m Gonna Go Help Him !

toors i dont-

(Toorie rushes to help the saddened Air Wubbox.)

Hey , Finci !

…?

You Alright ?

…

Can You Try Saying Something ?

……

Oh …

…8(

Well , Tell You What ? I’m Sure It’ll Get Better Soon ! Before You Know It , You’ll Be Up And Singing Again !

…<8)

:)

<8(…

Oh .

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

We should go help Finci! He looks really upset :(

theo, I don’t think anything would-

Come on! Our friend needs our help!!

*sigh*

(Theo hops over to a very saddened Finci, who is sitting next to Toorie, who desperately tried to comfort him.)

Hey, Fince! You okay?

<8(

You need a hug? I’m probably WAY too small to give you one, but I’ll try!

…

Bring it in!

(The Yawstrich tries to hug the Air Wubbox, which… surprisingly goes well, for a bird and someone who is probably 2.5x its size.)

Are you feeling better yet?

…

Hey , Maybe A Joke Could Cheer Him Up !

…Yeah! Why did the Tweedle cross the road?

to get to the other side. Theo, you’ve told this joke enough times for all of us to know.

Aww :(

I am afraid there is no apparent way to help Finci .

Dang it! I really thought I could help…

Well , At Least We Tried !

Hey, Finci?

?

What do you remember happening before you got muted? You can write it down here.

(Sprigg hands Finci a notepad and a pen.)

…

(Finci proceeds to write, and gives the notepad back to Sprigg. The writing is sloppy, but Sprigg makes it out to say this:)

“I wuz singing and doing my uzual biznuss like flying, whensudennly my coar started hurding. Someone azked me if I wuz okay but then I coulnd say anything foar sum reezun”

…Thanks, but you REALLY need to work on your spelling.

8|

(Finci starts to fly away. The crowd leaves.)

Sprigg !

What?

You Didn’t Have To Say That ! You Just Made Him Feel Worse >:(

But his spelling really WAS-

>:|

…FINE. I’ll go apologize. Mauna, you can have this back.

(Sprigg returns the device to Mauna.)

…Okay . Erm , does anybody want to do something ? Because yesterday , Sprigg told me that we are leaving soon .

Wait, you guys are leaving? But you just came here <:(

well we gotta continue our adventure somehow

Can’t we come with you all?

theo, you’re grounded, remember?

Aww, but-

that means you have to stay here on Air Island.

:(

Sorry , Theo ! I’d Invite You If I Could , But I Can’t Change The Fact That , Well , You’re Apparently Grounded .

I did say we could do something here before leaving , though ! That way , we would not forget about each other .

Sounds good to me!

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

this was supposed to be posted yesterday hhhhhhh-

anyways yeah!! uh they’re leaving after I get home from school so yeah

[queerautism]

I know y'all don't really have fictives but as a general question to all systems here

How do you deal with one of your friends having an alter that triggers you?

I recently found out that an online friend of mine has a fictive of a character from my source that's very triggering to me. Me and this friend's current setup is that said alter just doesn't talk in my private server, but I still feel guilty that I have to do that. But I also don't know if I could get over it; I know the fictive likely isn't the same as the one I remember, but I can't even stand seeing his face without expecting it. The version of him from my source/canon reminds me far too much of my (source) father, who was a piece of shit to a lot of people but especially me.

I feel guilty, but idk how to deal with it. I'm fine occasionally seeing his face in fanart/official art in tags or whatever since I expect it, but the idea of talking to him just makes me feel gross.

Idk. It makes me feel bad that I feel uncomfortable around this specific alter since as a whole I'm friends with the sys and I feel bad excluding one of them? But also I just hhhhh. And I'm really bad at confrontation on top of it, I had to have my other friend act as messenger bc I was scared they'd be mad at me (thank u Ally).

We do have two fictives now. And frankly, in my opinion, every fictive individually and any system containing a fictive collectively have the right to decide to what level they want to interact with others that share their source.

Sometimes, that means not wanting to interact with them at all.

We also don't think that it is necessary to always be friends with every single member of a system.

I think your friend is being very reasonable by keeping their fictive from participating in your server. If that arrangement works for everyone involved, there's nothing wrong with it.

okay this has been stuck in my head but i wanted to do some slider stuff for my blorbos on this Definitely single muse blog lkJALKSFJ

basically its a scale rating for how good/bad morally each of them are (for my own amusement lajksklfj). it'd go smth like:

1 = goodest bestest squiggly v lovely would help others in need

5 = p neutral tbh literally vibing

10 = the worst the baddest they are in the naughty corner they cause problems on purpose lkJALKSFj

this is a p horrendous scale and v verse-dependent and situational and there's much more to their moral compass than this but. anyway:

allan is p firmly a 6 when he first starts out in hw, post-sharlayan banishment! he's v much the type to look out for himself and bc of his past experiences he does have a bit of a predisposition towards being a baddie (like, during sharlayan stuff he'd be a 3-4 ;; he was Nicer but... yeah lkajskf). obvsly he can change but he still tends to hold the ideal of 'to achieve something, one must do whatever they must', even when he begins skewing towards a good alignment T__T there's a lot more nuance to this but i will shut up here before i keep rambling lJLKASJF.

asclepius is a Good Bean... how did allan stray so far... LJASKLFJ he's v much a 1 on the scale hhhhh. while he does tend to hermit a lot and go off on his own/keep to himself, he will absolutely help ppl in need ;; he's a true healer, one of the best back in ancient times (though not very many knew about it), and if he ever came across ppl needing help in his travels or whenever he came back to amaurot, he'd absolutely do what he could to solve their problems! even better if they required a healer bc he's there and done and dusted lkjalksfj. however, due to his visions, he kinda gets a bit more hopeless so he tends to give up easier since his visions have mostly come true thus far. so like... if there's any situation where he neglects, its not bc he's bad, its bc he thinks he can't rlly do shit lkjaslkfj.

selene is... heh. like, u wouldn't be able to guess it initially, but she's... weirdly a skew of 4-6. she has no more family, no close friends, she's vibing on her own if she doesn't have someone to truly care for. she loves eulmore, but after realizing how shitty it truly is, she's v much in an 'idgaf' mood lkjalksfj so she ends up looking out for herself. she can be a good person... but she can also be a bad person if u kno what i mean LKJLAKJSF

naila is uhhh. i don't need to spell it out do i LKJASKLFJ. v much a 100000000000—

asclepius 2.0 is vibing. i did initially wanna yeet him into a 5 but he's actually... a good bean. sorta. he's a 2-3. he won't actively search for ppl in need, but he will do his best to aid ppl who need it if they're in the immediate vicinity. he will do Some Good to help ease his depresso.

mahalina... my bby... my angel. she's also such a Good Bean at a 1. even if she faces a lot of pressure from her mother, she's v much someone who will actively help people if she hears even a whiff about it. like... she is bitter about being 'forced' to be perfect, but that's only bc she's not allowed to be more like herself. when her brother disappeared, it was a catalyst to her becoming more like herself and standing up to her mother. she didn't want to be stuck in sharlayan, which chose to be neutral, she wanted to go out there and do some Good while searching for her brother, which is exactly what she did.
