Before I continue Eridian Overrun here’s a few things y’all should look forward to out of context:

Fl4k having a pet saurian named Sue. She’s the goodest girl and also can be a mount.

Zer0 and Roland being « mind revenants ». I’ll explain later.

Salvador being even more of an absolute fucking menace.

Siren ghosts

On an extremely related note, Siren queen Dido being an actual character.

Literal fucking war against eridian beings.

F I G H T F O R S A N C T U A R Y P L A N T G A S

You thought Earl couldn’t get any weirder? Buckle up buckaroo

Tina having a short mullet because I saw her with one in my dream.

Gay ocs. Gay ocs EVERYWHERE.

And much more, half of it that I don’t even know myself yet.

Vault Hunter’s Reactions to You Asking Their Pronouns

Roland: Oh! Um. He/Him. Thank you for asking.

Lilith: Oh, sweet! Uh… she/they is fine, what about you, killer?

Mordecai: Hm… I think I’m feelin’ like a he. The bird here… it, uh, kinda varies but right now it’s a she/her day.

Brick: My pronouns are HE/HIM but I also go by SHE/HER. Now tell me your’s!

Axton: Uh……He? Maybe? Wha- what about your’s, sexy?

Maya: She/her. I guess.

Salvador: What’s wrong with the way I pronounce things? You havin’ trouble understanding my accent??

Zer0: Appreciated. / Preferences in order: / He. They. It. Thank you <3

Gaige: She! And uh…… they… yeah.

Krieg: I HOWL AT THE AMATEUR HOUR! BUT MY VERBS HAVE PART-TIME EXPERIENCE IN WORKING SLAUGHTERHOUSES. (That’s not what they meant, dumbass.)

Nisha: What? You can’t fucking tell I’m a girl? Get your eyes fixed before I shoot them out.

Athena: My pronouns are She/Her, though… if you’d like to use “They,” that is fine as well, and what about you?

Wilhelm: Any. Don’t care.

Claptrap: Pfft. Pronouns?? What are you some kinda- kinda-… soy… s-soy c-cuck…[quietly sobbing] oh god. Nobody has asked me this before. Finally, I get a chance to define myself, find my own identity as an autonomous robotic being…! YES! Here we go, I bet you’re on the edge of your seat for this one…! My pronouns arrrrrre… [humming drumroll]…HE! HIM! HIS!!!

Timothy: My PRONOUNS? Well… that would be hand/some! Hehehah… [whispering] they/them is fine, but uh, just use he/him in front of my boss, please.

Aureila: None. You are too poor to have the privilege to refer to me, but if you simply must, the royal “We” will suffice.

Moze: She/her, ze/hir, xe/xir, gunner, you can address me as sir or ma’am.

Amara: She/Her will do but feel free to slip a He or Him in there to spice it up! Now what are your’s my friend?

Zane: People usually say he, but, uh… I’m open to others.

Fl4k: My pronouns are they/them, My gender is undefined. Would you like to see my collection of pride flag and pronoun pins? You are free to borrow any extras.

Breathe In The Embers

blakesparkles

Fandom: Borderlands

Ships: FL4K/Zane Flynt

Umbrella tag: Falling in love

Completion status: Complete

Words: 15814

He takes a deep breath, staring at Fl4k’s door for a minute too long, wondering if he should go back. He clenches his hands a couple of times, looking down at the faint light under the door.

“Will you stay there all night or are you coming in?”

================================================

Readers Notes:

I gotta say, I love robot. I especially love people falling in love with robots. I enjoyed this fic so much, like, I've probably read this one more than 20 times. It's a nice quick read (for me at least) that leaves me giggling like a school girl. Just letting you know there is two NSFW moments but they are easily skipped without losing any story

Don't forget to read the tags in case of possible triggers.

Happy readings, Space Dad C

[rhysstrongforksfagswag]

gonna copy my mutual here and ask for W A I N L O C K (for the ask meme)

W: Moxxi (Borderlands), Enid Sinclair (Wednesday), Rahne Sinclair (X-Men), Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings), Mercy (Overwatch)

A: After carefully consulting with the council (/hj) the current verdict is Timoxxi and Wenclair. There are many many options however.

I: Given that I have actual trauma relating to some fandoms, I could go for the low-hanging(?) fruit and pick one of them, but I think I’ll instead go for a deep cut and pick the Dear Evan Hansen fandom. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really a massive fan of the musical to begin with, but fans of the musical really just took the Evan/Connor pairing and ran with it, to the point that when the movie adaptation came out loads of people who only knew about the musical tangentially were surprised that there wasn’t anything gay in it. They really reduced the entire show to one pairing and I’d almost admire that if it weren’t for the fact that it was comically missing the point of the entire show.

N: Probably TMGblr? From what I’ve experienced of it, it’s the right combination of chill about interactions and unhinged about the media.

L: Oh god everyone’s yelling at the same time about what they want. You can probably predict what Timothy and Rahne both want, and since they’re shouting the loudest I’ll share what they want. Unsurprisingly, Timothy wants content of him and his daughter, specifically the two of them at a baseball game together. Rahne wants someone to make something of him and his husbands.

O: I’m gonna do this with both my main playlist and my TMG playlist for shits and giggles. From the tmg playlist it’s gonna be Need More Bandages, which is straight up not a shippy song in the slightest (though it still is a banger), and even my ship-rotted brain cannot find anything. From the main playlist it’s Country Disappeared by Wilco, which is not a shippy song but it features the line “fold ourselves into each other’s guts”. Again, it’s not a shippy song which is disappointing for this question. I’m gonna cheat a bit and shuffle our “loving the bad boy” playlist and see if that yields anything. Ok, that’s Dominated Love Slave by Green Day so that’s obviously Timnisha no questions asked.

C: Ellie x FL4K. It’s an adorable pairing but I just don’t ship it in the way that other people I know do (probably because Timothy has memories that contradict that ship).

K: The only fandoms I engage any significant amount with are Borderlands and the Mountain Goats. The tumblr TMG hivemind is brilliant and wonderful and I love everything they make. Borderlands… well, my mutuals all have great opinions that’s for sure.

[wainwrightjakobshammerlock]

fandom ask meme! W A I N L O C K ;^)

HDHSHHDHWHDHDHDHD CLASSY

W: Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands, Helmut Fullbear from Psychonauts, Fiddleford McGucket from Gravity Falls, Medic from Team Fortress 2, Right Hand Man from The Henry Stickmin Collection

A: [vaguely gestures at my entire blog] if it's not painfully obvious, it's Wainlock

I: ALICE. IN. BORDERLAND. I don't even think the media itself is bad. It's just that it clogs up the borderlands search SO much.

N: Psychonauts. Genuinely the normalest and most adjusted fandom ever. Basically no proshitters. Good content creators. Not too big but not too small. Perfect.

L: A portrait of the whole main JFV cast (Wainwright, Hammerlock, Angel, Troy, Katagawa, Lazarus, Rebekah), or if they're a writer, a fic where Clay, Zane & Fl4k take their niblings for a roadtrip across Pandora

O: spotify shuffle landed on a song from the Borderlands ost so unfortunately question invalid

C: Honestly idk? I just wish my current ships were more popular.

K: My current mutual circle is cool and epic. Vast majority of the rest is a bunch of blindsided racist fools </3

[gaygunpowder]

Folks I know but rated by how likely I reckon I'd win a fight against them. Not comprehensive.

Alistair Hammerlock, my beloved husband, light of my life: 4/10 if it was a nice rapiers only duel, been learning a lot from him. -100/10 otherwise, he'd charm me with his... everything, honestly, and then take me out by shootin' me directly in the brainstem.

C: 8/10. He'd probably cheat or somethin', knowing him. But I know most of his tricks by now.

Zane: 0/10. He's a trained hitman AND a native Pandoran. His weird digidouble thing (the one me and everyone at the office is sure he's doin' indecent things with) looks at me and I'm seven feet under the next moment.

Fl4k: Dunno.

Amara: 9/10. Not gonna explain this one.

Moze: 4/10. I ain't immune to explosions.

Well: 9/10. They're a good person, but they're basically made of tissue paper. Just gotta watch out for those metal limbs.

Betty: 10/10. She's considered a dangerous person by many, but it ain't because of her combat prowess or anythin'. Something, something, soft power and influence and stuff. Also, she's older than me an' still workin' for the business.

Lazzie: 9/10 if a nice rapier duel. Otherwise -2603/10, filicide's probably the greatest sin under Big Eden. I'd collapse to the ground an' curl up like a fetus.

Tannis: 2603/10. Gsv svzig 'm' rgh nzhgvib lu uovhs girfnksh levi gsv Hsrug zmw svi gvxsmloltb. Hzipzprmvhrh > gvxsmlkzgsb, gszg'h z uzxg.

[cherryhrat]

A typical morning on the Sanctuary III c:

(this took me fucking forever 😭)

My handwriting is awful so here akjdaf: Fl4k: "I detest the design flaw that is the human bladder, why must you leave me cold and lonely every single morning to relieve yourself" Zane: "Oh you poor poor thing." Zane: "I'm not taking this from the person who has to oil their joints every morning" Zane: * Gets up and joints crack and pop* Zane: "Not. A. Word" * Fl4k is holding a WD-40 can behind him with a cheeky look *

[cardiomnis]

"Okay, wasn't expecting that but y'know? I'm into it." Hand reaching out to the spiderant. She seems tame, still, he's not going to let his guard down just yet. "She have a name?" FOR THE ROBOT BABEH

    “Her name is Broodless. On account of the fact her brood was slaughtered before her very eyes. It led to intense violent outbursts, and because of this, she is wary of strangers. They are enemies before they are friends.” FL4K’s head cocked to the side, watching Zane intently. If possible, he would cock a grin too. However, a single chuckle would suffice. “Good thing she sees you as a friend.”

dabs;; ok but can troy get off my ass---

[omoghouls]

I'm gonna straight up SOB

So I'm playing Fl4k and Mr.Chew was dying (the anointed are b i t c h e s ) and when you revive your animals Fl4k will say something

AND THIS TIME in the softest, quietest voice I think I've ever heard from Fl4k and they said

"Shh, shh it's okay I'm here now, I'm here."

And I

[oh-shadowlord]

Not much to tell about lately except I think my depressive episode sort of ended and manic episode began once again and I don't even want to block all my friends and never talk to them ever again.

As I mentioned in latest post, I started having naps right after coming home and it sort of helps! At least I get some extra rest and back pain reduces and most importantly my head gets clear and I can concentrate way better. And despite any expectations I go to bed at 2 am as usual. For now I'm okay with that, I hope all that constant tiredness will go away once it becomes warmer in the street (it really feels like last week was constantly -20°C and I absolutely hate it, imagine being a person who hates both warm and cold weather...dunno how I exist...)

Also good news is that I'm personally almost done with Fandom Kombat, I brought more works that I made for various teams in part years alltogether. I still can't show any of them on my personal pages, but if you know where to look, you can already see half of them and another half will be posted in next couple of weeks and I''ll be freeeeeee (technically I need to finish couple of last drawing by this Saturday and I can finally have rest).

Another good news: I'm in Jack & Nisha fanzine, and with each day of thinking of them I start liking their dynamics more and more (definitely way better than Jack and Rhys).

And another news which is partly very personal to me: I found people who are gonna cosplay all the BL3 Vault Hunters and this is both amazing and stressful, because now I have deadline for finishing my own costume and I have to be collected and responsible because two of them will come from another country just for this photoshoot. Also the girl who's making Amara agreed for another photoshoot just with me and I'm still so overwhelmed that I have literally no ideas and I don't know WHAT TO DO, because this is the person I barely know and I don't want to seem creepy though she likes mozara too poor I need help (and probably suggestions, I'm making commisair Moze and she's gonna be Amara in standard skin). What's also amazing, is the fact that the guy who's making Fl4k is around 195cm tall (6'3) and others are ~165cm (5'4) and this is SO AWESOME I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET IN PERSON.

And so yeah,every free minute I'm not busy with drawing, I'm working on my cosplays, need couple of days to complete my old ones, and then I'll properly work on Moze, already made sketches of her whole outfit and I'm itching to go and buy needed materials haha

[willczek-art]

Love your work! =3 If it's not too much trouble, could we see some more FL4K x Zane from you?

Hell yeah! :D I’m forever hyped to draw Borderlands, especially this pair! >U

Sorry for the delay, I got way more ambitious with it than I originally planned for, hope you don’t mind! C: Happy Valentines Week! 

-> WIPs and such are here! It has a close-up too, pretty cool!
