Dark Cream Week Lv 5: Punish/Reward
Punish:
Jax is stone walling Shattered who gets more distressed with every hour that his boyfriend won’t discuss what’s bothering him, what he did wrong? Jax is unrelenting of course because he has no intention of telling Shattered what he did which is insignificant. 
(To stonewall/ cold shoulder is to abruptly cease communicating with/ acknowledging a person regardless of the reason. This can continue for hours/days/weeks and sometimes months. This tactic causes mounting distress for the victim who has no idea what they did wrong or if they can fix it.) 
Reward:
Cross is getting some after mission cuddles with his hubby Dusk. the blindfold is because Dusk who is a fae is in his true form which if viewed before they become soul bound would drive Cross insane. In this form he can heal Cross faster and enjoy being pet. Cross loves hearing him purr happily as Dusk wraps his big fuzzy body around him.

it's never going to come up in canon but i do often wonder a lot what the result of ai surviving and raising aqrb as their mother would have done for grsr's 'presence' in their lives and identities, so to speak. obviously both of them have differing and (in aq's case) complicated relationships to the people they were 'before', but how much of that is nature and how much of that is nurture (or lack thereof, i guess.......) is interesting to consider.
ruby pretty clearly straightforwardly thinks of herself as sarina 2.0 at least as of the last real interrogation of this aspect of her identity, but earlier in the series, we actually see her drawing more of a dividing line between the two identities, codeswitching between speaking as 'sarina' and 'ruby' particularly strongly at the start of the sweet today arc. i do think these aspects of her identity make sense in tandem - if she considers herself a continuation of sarina's wishes and dreams, i think it makes sense for them to both overlap and yet be differentiated in the way your past and present selves are at once different and the same.
aqua's r/s with gorou's identity is pretty messy and hard to fully nail down though i think that's in part because aqua himself doesn't know what the fuck to make of it, really. as a baby, we see gorou's personality much more prominently but once we timeskip to the twins' middle school days, the current aqua almost feels like an entirely different character. and in a sense, he is: he's lived a whole life's worth of time so far in a completely different body and brain, having interactions and relationships with people gorou amamiya would never have met in his life and occupying a totally different social role to his past self - i think it makes sense to call the sum of those differences 'aqua hoshino' and differentiate them in the same way as early!ruby does btwn her and sarina: the same, yet different. i do think aqua is intended to be read as separate enough from gorou as to be an individual person, just because a lot of things about him (in particular the aqkn and aqak romances) read Very Differently if he is intended to be an unbroken continuation of gorou's identity as opposed to a 14~18yo boy inheriting it. it's not that aqua concretely Is or Is Not gorou - both of these things are true at once and it's this lack of a yes/no binary and associated failure to compartmentalize as needed that seems to be one of the main causes of his Gorou Related Anguish
but!! all this stuff is infinitely more complicated by the fact that the twins were both traumatized by losing ai in their very early childhood. aqua in particular, as we later find out, was essentially retraumatized because gorou's guilt over his mother's death (+ his grief over sarina's, who he associated w/ai) was already floating around in his brain when all this shit happened. so how much of the current aqua is just the result of his personality naturally developing like that and how much is his brain getting fucking mgs4 microwave corridor brain blasted at a formative age?
then of course there's this smoking gun ass line
Tumblr media
what does this mean, aka akasaka. i'm going to laminate you.
i do personally like to think that in an ai lives au, the twins ultimately do fully step into their lives as 'aqua hoshino' and 'ruby hoshino' without feeling beholden to their past selves - not abandoning or forgetting them, but making the most of this second opportunity as new people to purify their regrets and lay them to rest with love. this is mostly because i don't think either of the twins could ever sincerely and wholly accept ai as their mother w/o that compartmentalization and just considering that makes me want to scream cry throw up eat fiberglass blow up a building and smash breakable dishware.
i just want the hoshinos to be alive, together and happy and mentally well....................... is that too much to ask

Codeswitch
We can't openly talk about scalping the heads of the rich & drink the spinal fluid of our enemies. We gotta mince our words instead & create a way to say the unsaid. We stopped sharing our ideas with others out in the open. We gotta go to a corner in this room & whisper or walk outside into the backyard with our dreams where everyone we love all have the things they need. We can sometimes find solace in the ignorance online & let it consume us. We remind ourselves there are two forms of anger: sadness & rage. We take responsibility to humble ourselves: we fuck up, forget our humanity, form a fist in our mouths, but we never say the actual thing, the thing about wanting to die because we don't wanna do this shit no more. We can't say "Kill me or shut the fuck up" because people may think we wanna kill ourselves. No, we don't wanna kill ourselves, but it seems like people pay attention then. They'll donate more than their time when you're dead. But I guess that is why there are people out there follow us home after our service to neighbors, lurk in the shadows on our ways home from protests, or lynch us on their porches. But we can't say "Kill me or shut the fuck up"— we have to be careful. But why? They gonna kill us anyway. So, let's say it in that case: “Kill me or shut the fuck up.”

In my AU  Cross is married to Halo (SwapDream) and Dusk (Codeswitch Dream). He and Shattered are just friends. Shattered looks after the kids of other members of the safe house when he’s not in Fallen Stars (his AU). 
Here you see Roseanne, Cross and Halo’s eldest daughter (23). 
Cross and Shattered reminisce on the days when she was a chaotic 4 year old who just lost her two front teeth. 
Rose is wondering what those fond looks are for as she just got back from visiting Swad (Her mom’s AU). Rose doesn’t live in Swad or OG (Cross’s AU) exclusively but visits whenever she can.

Day 4: personality switch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m not all that great at portraying personalities, and the art is once again crap, so sorry I guess.
Codeswitch belongs to Zooliwrites
Killer human design belongs to me
I think I was inspired for Dusk’s design, but I’m not sure??

So I made small chibis! First, all the Driller shipkids I created so far :D
Tumblr media
Reminder 1: Only Rohay and Malavision are male
Reminder 2: Blenia can switch from being with hair (aka use her magic) and being bald (like Rohay).
Reminder 3: Golden Chaos only exists on Codeswitch multiverse (NON-CANON tho).
Reminder 4: Malavision also only exists on Shattered Dream setting since he is only a Shattered!Driller kid
Killer Star is a new kid that I created a couple of days ago at the same time I created Golden Chaos :D
Tumblr media
And the chibis Golden Chaos and Killer Star full body :D
Yes, Golden has a fire ball on her hand.
Imagine a setting where Dusk and Killer die and Golden Chaos becomes the Queen of the multiverse, torturing everyone like her parents did :"3 Dusk and Killer would be proud of this precious insane child :D
All the kids belong to me :>

And here let me show two prompts:
13. Corrupted, featuring Shattered Dream
14. Sing, featuring CodeSwitch!Dream, named as Dusk.
For the prompt 13, I chose to reference a small part of a fanfic that I read where Dream turns to Shattered Dream and Killer gets heartbroken after seeing this.
For the prompt 14, I used the song that many of us know from Wander Over Yonder, the one named as "I'm the Bad Guy"; and how in CodeSwitch, Dusk takes Nightmare's place as the King and Killer remains in the same role, I thought about doing this one.
Anyways! Hope you like it

Been thinking a bit about The Fancy Party and Ed's behavior toward Stede, who is clearly very uncomfortable basically the entire time.
Because my first instinct was to think, "Damn Ed, you're being a real dick. Don't you like Stede?"
But then I realized that, again, that situation happens because Stede isn't vulnerable with Ed the way Ed is vulnerable with Stede.
See, all Ed really knows about Stede is that he's an aristocrat (and not much of a pirate). He was born to wealth and privilege, the thing Ed has been dreaming about his whole life. We, the audience, know that Stede's life has been one of neglect and abuse and misery, that his peers don't accept him, that he's never actually fit in anywhere, but Ed doesn't know that. Stede has never told him, never even hinted, that this is the case. In fact, rather the opposite—Stede has been giving Ed lessons in How To Fit In With Society, without bothering to admit he has no idea how to actually fucking do that.
So here they are, surrounded by Stede's people, literally under the pretense of being someone else. Stede tells Ed he can "win" by being charming, and in Ed's mind, he's doing it! People are laughing at his jokes, they're hanging on his stories. Stede is being distant and standoffish because of course he is. Isn't that what rich people are like?
Ed has spent his whole life masking and codeswitching, always putting on the face people expect. Why would he think Stede would be any different? And Stede has given him no indication to the contrary. They're living in Ed's world, so Stede has seen Ed wearing the mask of Blackbeard, threatening and maiming people, but they're far removed from Stede's world, so Ed has never seen Stede that way. This is the first time they're coming close, and Stede is behaving as Ed expects aristocrats to behave.
I really think, if Stede had said, even once, "I can't really tell you how to be part of Society, because I don't really know, they've never accepted me," then Ed would never have let Stede be shoved aside like that, would never have made a joke at his expense (not even at the expense of the character he was playing). But Stede didn't, so Ed didn't know better.
(It is notable that Stede doesn't seem to think there's anything offensive in Ed's behavior, actually. In fact, he mostly seems worried for Ed, that it's all going to come crashing down for him. Which, of course, it does.)
(Also I really, really hope S2 reverses S1, and we see Stede being very open and communicative, and Ed being very closed and secretive, just for the narrative beauty of it. But that's a story for another day, I suppose.)

Hi, do you like Mater? Do you find him obnoxious sometimes?
I accept him. I think he's smarter than he sometimes chooses to act (he can playfully manipulate Lightning two ways from Sunday, after all), and I think Radiator Springs needs him to keep energy and morale high. Without him, I think the residents of Radiator Springs would've had a much harder time sticking with it and staying relatively happy.
I think Lightning is completely bananas when his takeaway from Cars 2 is to simply let Mater be himself in all circumstances, though that's more a critique of Lightning's thought process than it is of Mater. Really, Lightning? You felt you were overpolicing Mater's corn pone personality and the only other possible alternative is to decide your friend is beholden to no god?? Because fact is, sometimes you do need to modulate your personality, codeswitch a bit. You are not the center of the universe and other people live in this world--other people whose cultures and needs also need to be acknowledged and respected.
Even by Cars 2, several Piston Cups down the line, I don't think Lightning's quite figured out what to do with that--he's been made well-aware that the lives and hopes and dreams of others matter (Cars 1), and is able to think critically about his own life in the limelight (because let's be real, as a multi-Piston Cup winner in a world whose primary sport is stock car racing, you are functionally treated as the center of the universe in many circumstances), but what about Mater? Who is Lightning, to say Mater can't be the center of the universe for a while, who so often never gets to be?
I think he thinks the lesson learned was "don't yell at Mater and stop being a self-conscious stressball about the absolute chaos he is wreaking at the sushi bar" but I think Lightning's lesson left on the table is that sometimes you gotta be the "bad guy." There are Miles Axelrod bad guys, sure, but there are other kinds, too. (And Mater will be center stage in his own imagination with or without your blessing, lol.)
Maybe that's a part of Doc left to learn, after Lightning is able to outgrow the pure adoration cushioning his grief and think about the kind of car Doc was, and what made him so important to Lightning. Sometimes it was the kindness, sure, but other times the mettle. Maybe even the nettle. What do you need to be made of, to be the best crew chief in the infield?

I think I may be a little late, but if you're still taking these, can I ask for director's commentary on Leaping to Conclusions and Hide Your Love Away? They're two of my favourites of your fics <3
You certainly can! Most people do not seem to be asking for any specific details so I hope I'm being interesting just saying random things about my writing process.
Leaping To Conclusions is a fic I wrote for a BB where I wanted to capitalize on Batroc's obvious crush on Steve in 616 which I then proceeded to set in Marvel Adventures because I wanted a more lighthearted universe. Batroc exists in MA:A and runs a dating site so this isn't entirely unmotivated by canon. I just wanted a universe where everyone was nice to each other and everyone has always been nice to each other and also Batroc would be the first villain Steve has dated, because if this were in 616 Tony would probably be giving Steve shit about having dated Diamondback. It was much fluffier this way.
The thing I remember being most concerned about was depicting Batroc's accent. I wanted to make him sound like Batroc but i didn't think writing out his accent "phonetically" was a good look (since things like that, with non-standard English, are often used to imply things like lack of intelligence), even though that's what the comics do. I know the comics do it to be funny, but, like, I wanted to take him seriously. He's just a native French speaker! He's got a heavy accent! It's not really intrinsically humorous! I just like it when he kicks people in the head!
I kept the massive amount of codeswitching -- I attempted to only stick to words of French that I thought English speakers would know or could pick up from context. And there were a few places where I deliberately had him use more French-influenced syntax in ways that would read as marked in English -- starting a sentence with "me, I..." as an obvious carryover from something like "moi, je..." that still sounds comprehensible in English but not a thing a native speaker will produce.
Possibly no one else thought about this as much as I did.
Hide Your Love Away was a RBB that I snagged as a second RBB the last year I ever did RBB (so far), because Moony drew some beautiful art that was very, very canon-specific -- it was a soulmark AU, where Tony had a head wound and he was showing Steve his soulmark and Steve is very clearly Commander Rogers and this is absolutely meant to be early Avengers v4 so I figured that since I'd read v4 and liked v4 I could take a stab at it.
I'd done a bunch of soulmate AUs but I'd never done a soulmark AU, and in most of the soulmate AUs I've done it's Tony angsting about not being good enough for Steve but here I changed it up and gave Steve that angst.
I feel like fandom makes a big deal of Tony not remembering Civil War -- I mean, of course we do, it's significant -- but it's also the case that Steve actually remembers Civil War, and I feel like that doesn't come up much and I wanted it to come up.
Because Steve remembers the entire war, and Steve has an eidetic memory. Imagine never, ever being able to forget every detail of the worst thing you've ever done, a thing you deeply regret doing, and it's just there in your head in perfect detail. Do you think Steve wakes up dreaming about the precise sound his shield makes as it shears off the faceplate of Tony's armor? Do you think he's going about his day and all of a sudden he remembers that Tony's hands were stretched out above his head, the repulsors dim, while Steve was hitting him, and Tony wasn't even fighting back? Do you think he can stop thinking about the precise way Tony begged him to kill him?
I think Steve remembers all of that. And I can see how, with all of that filling his mind, that he might think he's the one who's not good enough for Tony. Because how can Tony want a soulmate who already tried to kill him?
So that's what that one's about. It's also the last BB/RBB I successfully managed; for the same RBB I also snagged Phoenix's art featuring Madame Masque making Tony drink at gunpoint, wrote 150,000 words, didn't post them, and wrote an alternate fic for the art with the bare minimum wordcount and still haven't posted the original fic. My brain doesn't really do deadlines anymore and it stopped doing them halfway through that RBB.

Also seeing Dusk on the list of the main cast gives me intense feelings of ‘Oh No (cackling)’
