I've got two for ya :)

4 and 47 with lee!George and ler!Sapnap maybe during the London meet-up, Sap either jittery or upset about his double ear infection at the time (poor baby :()

from this post!

4: "You could tickle me if it will make you feel better"

47: "I wasn't even touching you"

“I hate London.” 

George rolled his eyes and let out an overexaggerated sigh, closing the fridge and carrying the two water bottles back over to the couch that a very grumpy Sapnap currently occupied. He held his arm out towards the smaller boy, handing him the water and sitting down next to him. 

“You don’t mean that! You’re just mad because you have a double ear infection,” The brunette opened the lid of his water bottle, waving the cap in the air at Sapnap as he spoke. “That’s definitely not London’s fault.” 

Sapnap let out a whine from beside him, wincing when he took a sip of the water. He quickly twisted the lid back onto the bottle before dropping it onto the cushion next to him. George was watching the younger boy, expecting to hear a rebuttal but receiving nothing instead. He could tell that Sapnap actually wasn’t feeling good and was trying to brainstorm ways to make him feel better; or at the very least, something that could provide him a much needed distraction. A small blush filled George’s cheeks as a passing thought caught his attention, knowing that if he offered this to Sapnap he would definitely take him up on his offer.

“Hey Sapnap?” George spoke softer than normal, immediately gaining Sapnap’s attention at the new tone in his voice. He looked down into his lap, fidgeting with his fingers.

“Hm?” 

“You could…uhm,” He brought his hands up to his face, pressing his palms against his cheeks for a moment before running his right hand nervously through his hand. “You could tickle me..if that would make you feel better.” 

George could feel Sapnap staring at him, but he refused to look up from his pants. He couldn’t. He had just offered himself up to be tickled! How could anyone look someone in the eye after that? He dropped his hands back down into his lap, about to lace his fingers together when he was pushed over, landing on his right side on the couch. 

“Wh-What the hell?!” He looked up at the younger boy with wide eyes, not expecting to be manhandled and maneuvered like he weighed nothing. Sapnap smirked down at him, climbing up to take his place on George’s waist while he adjusted the elder to lay on his back. George let out a whine, covering his face with his hands again while it grew impossibly warmer. 

“What do you mean ‘what the hell’? You offered!” 

George moved his hands from his face and opened his mouth to reply when he stopped himself, closing his mouth and biting on his bottom lip when he realized he had nothing to argue. He watched as Sapnap formed his hands into claw shapes, making him break out into nervous giggles and bring his arms down to cross them over his stomach. 

“Y-Yes but I-” 

“What? Didn’t expect me to agree?” Sapnap snickered from above him, beginning to wiggle his fingers as they began their descent towards the older boy’s torso. “I wasn’t even touching you yet, George. How are you gonna survive this?” 

“I-”

“Don’t answer that - you won’t.” 

Sapnap dropped his hands against George’s ribs, kneading quickly and causing the older boy to break out into a bright cackle, squirming and trying to grab at Sapnap’s hands to stop him. One of the tickling hands had suddenly disappeared, Sapnap bringing it to his left ear and cupping his palm over it.

“Fuck, George, be quieter! I have two ear infections, you can’t be screaming like that!” Sapnap was speaking as if he was angry but wore a huge grin stretching from ear to ear, clearly enjoying his suffering. 

“I cahahan’t help it! You’re tihihickling me!” George whined through his laughter, giving up on trying to block the sensitive spot and instead opting to cover his face instead. 

“Oh is that what I’m doing? I had no idea!” The younger boy was heavy on the sarcasm, acting as if he just learned brand new information on the boy below him. “No shit, George. But I’m sick! And you need to be quiet if you don’t wanna hurt me.” 

George moved his hands to glare at Sapnap through his giggles, knowing he was playing dirty so that George would give in to what he was telling him to do. And as much as George didn’t want to, Sapnap was right - he didn’t want to hurt his best friend. So despite Sapnap adding his second hand back down against his ribs, he did his best to cover his mouth with both hands, hoping to keep any squeals or shrieks in. 

He squirmed when Sapnap sat back slightly, reaching his left hand behind him to squeeze the top of George’s thigh twice. This sent a ticklish wave through his body, causing him to buck up with a squeal. Judging by Sapnap’s smile, he could tell that his hands were indeed doing their job of keeping the louder laughs from escaping. 

“See! Look at you, you can do it, kitten!” 

“D-Dohohon’t push it!” 

“Wouldn’t dream of it…kitten.” 

George considered lifting his hands slightly to let his squeaks and cackles reach the younger boy’s ears, knowing it would cause him to stop, but changed his mind; Sapnap looked so happy, and George didn’t have the heart to take this moment away from him. 

Even as sapnap found the sensitive spot on the back of his ribs, ripping a scream from the back of his throat that was so loud he was sure it would have deafened even those with fully working, healthy eardrums.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @dangerpronebuddie thanks friend!!

How many works do you have on ao3?

13! Will be 18 when I finish all my current wips (should be 19 but one has been abandoned 🥲)

What's your total ao3 word count?

230,841 words

What fandoms do you write for?

Exclusively 9-1-1, mostly because I deleted all my old British Actor RPF fics 😐

Top 5 fics by kudos:

1. Buck's Baby (By Accident) (Buddie)

2. For the rest of my life (for the rest of yours) (Buddie)

3. Sweet child of mine (Bucktommy)

4. In a drought I'll give you water (Buddie)

5. Fucking Finally (Finally Fucking) (Buddie)

Do you respond to comments?

Eventually 😬I try my best!!

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

None of my published fics have a shred of angst. However, Frostpunk AU is full of it so it'll be that

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All of them?? But probably Sweet child of mine or For the rest of my life (for the rest of yours) for hopeful endings

Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? I did have one person get mad at me for events that transpire in Buck's Baby (By Accident) but idc really

Do you write smut?

No. Never. Smut is terrible.

(This is a blatant lie, 7/13 of my fics are smut and I have 3 wips that have smut)

Craziest crossover?

I don't write crossovers.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

If I have, I'm gonna throw hands

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of!

Have you co-written a fic before?

Currently co-writing 2 with @hippolotamus and @theotherbuckley!

All time favorite ship?

Buddie. Always Buddie. Will always be Buddie. Followed closely by Bucktommy

What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I really hate to say this but probably my Single Dads AU. She's so beefy and the size of it has scared the hell out of me. As much as I love it, I don't think it gets as much traction as other wips and the beans just haven't been there.

What are your writing strengths?

I honestly don't know, I think I can write smut pretty well? And I'm not bad at cute stuff. The honest truth is I am extremely insecure about my writing abilities and think I'm average at best.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I struggle with dialogue as I often feel like I'm being too OOC. Also descriptions. I spend the most time sitting there thinking of how tf to describe something.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I can google translate pet names and that's where I draw the line. I don't want people to say that I'm saying stuff wrong.

First fandom you wrote in?

Marvel and Sherlock, at the same time.

Favorite fic you've written?

Play me like a fiddle is my labour of love and the fact that it flopped the way it did made me so sad. My next favourite would be You've got me whipped (Brat!Buck BDSM fic) cause it was so out of my comfort zone but I feel like I did it well, or In a drought I'll give you water because I have never been funnier in a fic than in this one.

Playing With The Princess (Calvin Evans x Reader)

Summary: You can't get over how adorable it is when your husband plays with your daughter

Tagging: @floydsmuse

You folded up the wooly blanket and neatly draped it across the back of the couch, your daughter erupting with giggles as Calvin nibbled on her little cheek. He lay on his stomach right next to her, the chubby little baby trying to fit her whole foot in her mouth as he blew soft little raspberries on her cheek.

You laughed, unable to keep from smiling at the sight. Ever since you had gotten a promotion at the college, you and Calvin had been able to spend more time at home with Ellen and to boot, you would both have summers off and more time to make the best memories with your family.

Calvin blew another raspberry on her cheek, causing her to giggle. Six-Thirty snorted and crawled his way over with Ellen's ducky blanket in his teeth, fresh from the laundry basket that Pat had brought up from the dryer.

"Alright princess," Calvin said, pushing himself to his knees. "I think it's time for bath and bed."

"Daddy's tired already?" you chuckled.

Calvin picked Ellen up and brought her over to you before pressing a kiss to your lips. "You wanna give her a bath or should I?" he asked.

"You did it last time, so it's my turn," you told him.

"Alright," Calvin answered. "I'll shut the house up for the night and then put her down for bed."

"Deal," you agreed before kissing him again.

When you had gone upstairs, Calvin set to closing up the house for the night, letting Six-Thirty out the kitchen door and into the backyard to do his business. It was still freezing cold, but already, Calvin had begun to see some of the first signs of spring through the half melted snow. It wouldn't be long before summer came, but his father, ever the intuitive weatherman of the family, had a feeling it was going to be one of the driest summers on record.

As soon as Six-Thirty had trotted back into the house, Calvin locked every door and window, including the one over the sink in the kitchen. Upstairs he went to switch into his warm pjs, before he saw you heading into Ellen's room.

He poked his head in the door to find you drying Ellen off in her little yellow bath towel. Calvin thought you looked like a goddess standing in the dim glow of the little dresser lamp, it's soft light illuminating the rose patterned wallpaper and the soft, cuddly little toys on the shelf above the wooden dresser. On the shelf next to it stood all of Pat's old porcelain dolls, each one in their own pretty little outfit which, to his hope, Ellen would be able to play with.

"There you go princess," you chirped as soon as Ellen was in her little pink nightgown. "And look who's here."

Calvin laughed a little as he took Ellen and seated himself in the creaky nursery rocker. "You want her quilt?" you asked. "It's gonna get cold tonight."

"Might as well," he answered.

You lovingly draped the Peter Rabbit quilt over both your husband and daughter before Cal started rocking her to sleep. You were amazed at how quickly Ellen had drifted off to sleep with Calvin not too far behind her.

"Alright my love," Calvin whispered once she was out. "In you go."

Very gently, he placed her in her crib, quilt and all with her bear and her ducky before turning out the light. Six-Thirty settled himself on the rug in front of her crib with his favorite chew toy before receiving a few scritches from you and Calvin.

"Well Mrs. Evans," he chuckled, gently pinning you against the wall. "Baby's asleep, Six-Thirty's with her.......whaddaya say we head off to sleep ourselves?"

"Cheeky bastard," you chuckled as he kissed your cheek and then the curve of your neck.

You happily obliged and in no time at all, you and Cal were snug in your shared bed, snoring the cold night away and dreaming of the spring that was soon to come.

WIP Snippets

Appreciation to you @redroomroaving and @lemonsrosesandlavender for the respective tags.

An open invitation to jump in and a no pressure invitation for either response for @lostinforestbound and @faerunsbest.

One tag game called for "1 or 2 sentences without context" and the other for "a snippet from the WIP".

I'll go with:

1 or 2 sentences without context from a Rolan, Cal, and Lia multichapter work.

A snippet from the Rugan x Aradin one-shot suggested and requested by @fangbanger3000, consider it a teaser haha.

Rolan, Cal, and Lia:

For a moment the arcane vision of Rolan moved, as though preparing to end the message, then he hesitated and took a long, regretful breath.

“I suppose you deserve more than that,” he looked down for a moment, as if the thought of looking them in the eyes even separated by life and illusion was too much.

Rugan x Aradin:

“Uh,” the adventurer stared, a gentle turn of confused concern in his brow, “what’s up?”

Rugan loosened his fingers, gingerly lifting his hand.

“Something I got to say.”

“Alright, mate,” Aradin scoffed awkwardly, “not bein’ funny, kind of in the middle of somethin’.”

“Serious, like. Need to talk.”

“Cause we’ve always been dead good at that.”

“Nah, lad,” the Zhent hesitated, colour in his cheeks fading, “gonna want to hear this, trust me.”

“What you on about?”

“Got an order, Zhent business.”

“Good for you,” Aradin pursed his lips, “don’t really give a shite.”

“Got a mark. Supposed to… take care of it.”

“Take care of it then,” Aradin frowned impatiently, “we doin’ this, or what?”

“About that…”

Ch. 1 - The Meeting

A/N: Heyo everyone! I hope you enjoy this one. I have some art propbably coming soon to go with it ;)

Warnings: n/a

He was running just about as fast as he could. After damaging the dam in the sinuses, Thrax knew he needed to get somewhere quick. He made his way down to the salivary glands, the virus was seeking some well-earned respite in the humidity and warmth of them. He ran through the alleys, bobbing and weaving through and around different bacteria before he finally decided the coast was clear. He sighed and started walking, his hands tucked in the pockets of his jacket as he did so. Thrax smirked to himself, laughing soon after that he had managed to get away with everything so far.

“This is too easy! Too damn easy.” He said to himself, grinning cheek to cheek as he did so. His senses were heightened when he heard the sound of running and whistle blowing. Damn cops.. already on my tail. He growled to himself, picking up the pace and soon entering through a back door into one of the stores that lined the alleyway. He carefully closed it and let out a sigh of relief as he looked around. Thrax noticed the shelves were lined with.. fabric? His eyes widened a bit as he looked around the place, noticing.. sewing supplies: threads of different textures and colors, needles of every type, silks, satins, leather, as well as some sewing machines and embroidering machines. Was he in.. a boutique?

“What in the blazes.. huh. Seems I found myself a place to get some new drip,” He said to himself, soon walking out through a curtain into the back room that held the stock of different clothings, then he started to look through them while chuckling. This stuff was really well made.. he picked up a shirt, looking at the tag for the price and grimacing. “Damn.. 200 cals? Shit, fuck that. Wait..” Thrax then read the label on the tag, chuckling. “Stomach acid resistant, water and saliva resistant.. interesting. This place knows what they doin’.” He hummed, soon setting the shirt down and heating up his claw before he cut off the tag.

Thrax then walked to a mirror that was there, smiling as he took off his coat and then his beaten up shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror, sighing as he looked at the scars on his chest. The self inflicted ones from when he was younger, craving to be something he just.. wasn’t yet. He ran the pad of his finger over one, smiling as he reminded himself that he was who he was today, he was himself. Shaking off the thoughts, Thrax picked up the new shirt and slipped it on. Old habits died hard.. he looked in the mirror again and turned this way and that to examine the shirt on himself. The virus smiled, satisfied with his new item and hummed to himself.

Just as he was about to put his coat back on, he heard the sound of heels stop just inside the room. His eyes widened and he looked over, backing up a bit. He tilted his head a bit.. this was no.. bacteria or cell. This was.. another virus.

Enji’s eyes widened as he looked on and he nearly dropped the pile of clothes he had in his hands as he stared. Another.. Virus? He swallowed, his ectoplasmic ears laying back as he started to back up a bit. Thrax held out a hand, trying to calm the other down. “Wait, wait wait.. I ain’t gonna hurt ya, doll..” he said, the hills of his brows furrowing together. It was.. odd that he was so gentle with this one. If it were any other species, he’d have them incinerated in a touch of his claw. But.. Thrax knew how hard Viruses worked, knew the hardships they faced between hosts.

The sage-green Virus looked on at him and calmed down a bit, his ears perking up some and his tail swaying gently. A tail? Huh.. Must be one of ‘em special breeds.. Thrax thought to himself, standing back up and lowering his hand.

Then it spoke, holding a more male voice, “You.. you’re the one that’s been causing all of this trouble, ain’t you?” He asked, staring incredulously at Thrax. “And ya stealing one of my shirts.” His eyes narrowed then and Thrax’s own widened. He didn’t know what species this was.. he’d never seen one before. Or.. maybe he had, a long, long time ago. Thrax cleared his throat a bit and spoke next.

“It didn’t have no tag on it.. ain’t stealin’ if it ain’t got a barcode, baby.”

The green virus made a bit of a face at the name and he set down the pile of items in his hands, stepping over and making sure his heels sounded menacing. “No tag? My guy, it’s right there.” And he picked it up in his hand and held it up. But since he was closer, the fox-like virus noticed how roughed up Thrax was, how tired he seemed. His expression softened a little bit and he crossed his arms then. “They’ve been hittin’ ya rough, ain’t they?” The sage-green one asked, crossing his arms gently over his chest. Thrax’s eyes widened a bit. This virus knew what it was like to have to high-tail it around a body, make their move before they needed to get out.

Thrax nodded a bit, crossing his own arms. “Yeah. Cells don’t like when viruses stick around too long,” He chuckled. The sage-green one did not smile though. “They don’t like it when you start to shut down a body neither. The hells ya think ya doin’ in here? Frank lives rural, you really think ya gonna survive once the body is dead and gone? Take my advice, kid. Get out while ya can so you can find another host quick.”

Thrax growled a bit at being called a kid. He always hated that shit. His mama always used to say it, and it always had an insult to go before it. His eyes narrowed and he shook his head, not wanting to delve into those memories when he was up against something of his match and he vulnerable. “Nah, I ain’t going nowhere. Not until I make my record,” And then he beamed at the other virus, showing off those dark and jagged teeth. The other virus grimaced a bit before he sighed. “Fine, it’s your funeral man. Also.. how the hell did ya get in here? I didn’t see you come in through the front.”

Thrax smirked some then, his hands moving to his hips rather than being tucked with his arms crossed. “Oh, I came in through the back, baby. Maybe you should keep a better lock on ya doors~”

The sage-green one narrowed its eyes at him. “Maybe you shouldn’t be sneakin’ in places you ain’t supposed to, boy.”

The crimson virus laughed a bit at that and stepped a bit closer. He liked this cat. He wasn’t afraid of him, and that sent a thrilling chill down Thrax’s spine. “My my.. you gotta pretty mouth. Ya certainly know how to run it too, don’t ya?” The other Virus back up a bit, not liking being so close but.. gods the way he smelled. Most cells and germs would find it absolutely abhorrent, but to him.. it was intoxicating. The sage-green one’s ears laid back as his tail flicked, shaking off that thought. “And you know how to be a creep. Now if you don’t want me to get angry and go yell for the cops, I suggest you get out the way you came.”

Thrax snickered a bit and collected his coat. His welcome was obviously gone and he stepped back a bit. “I guess ya right, baby.. it was a gas, but I better get outta here. See ya around- wait.. I didn’t catch ya name, Doll~”

The sage-green one huffed a bit, his arms crossing a bit tighter. “I didn’t give it. But, if you must know, it’s Enji. Enji Foxtail.”

Thrax smiled a bit as he heard the name, it sounded so nice to his ears. He committed the name and the face that went with it to memory, humming in satisfaction. “Right.. well, nice to meet ya, even if it wasn’t under the best circumstances, babe. Name’s Thrax. Remember it, ya might see it in the books one day~” And he was gone, swiftly making his exit through the back door again before heading on down the alleyway. Enji sighed a bit as he watched, unfolding his arms and resting his hands on his hips. “Christ what have you gotten into, Enj..” he cursed at himself, shaking his head.

Then, Enji looked over and noticed the sweater that Thrax had left behind. His eyes widened a bit and he stepped over, picking it up and examining how roughed up it was. He could fix this.. it wasn’t too bad. Then he leaned a bit, holding the sweater up to his muzzle before he inhaled the scent on it. Gods, why was it so intoxicating? Enji growled a bit at himself and folded the sweater up, walking to his office and tucking it away with his bag and then he went to get back to work.

[owwi]

The youtube shorts arg got me so now here’s just a bit of theorizing and a timeline because. well bored + the fixation is strong with this one

The following contains spoilers for the recent uploads, so I recommend only going if you know the basics, don’t care about it or just wanna see it.

So. If you haven’t been keeping up, here’s a rough idea.

Starting on around July 16th, 5 shorts YouTubers began to post shorts with weird glitch things, randomly popping into each other’s. QR codes also started to show up, with someone wearing a purge mask whoabsolutely fucking hates the YouTube shorts (and maybe also normal shorts). And naturally they wanna get rid of them. We also get introduced to a company called CLONEVPN, which seems to be connected to the one just mentioned and is sending these youtubers clones after they agree to a sponsorship.

The most common crossover involved Riggy from Danno Cal, who notably seems to be one of the two who actually knew that hey maybe he shouldn’t be in other videos! The other being RoyalPear. However, RaZer makes a short saying that he needs help to build a new computer, since his is causing these problems (spoiler alert: ITS NOT IT BRO-)

A new video was released for the QR codes as well, known as Rebirth. This shows the cloning process and it works for a bit, with only two unsuccessful clones, being of Joe Caine, who presumably is just too cool for it, and Riggy, who’s cloning process struggles and ends up making a more blue version of him that notably seems to just be a rabbit. Below are the two. Note how Clone Riggy (Picture 1) has a more vibrant color pallet, no eye color, a crumpled up paper border, and, most notably, lacks the tail that indicates him to me a Runkey. This indicates the cloning process just made him a rabbit. Meanwhile, Riggy (photo 2) is a less turned up shade of blue and red, has the green eyes, a grid paper outline, and of course, the tail.

We didn’t know what this would do until yesterday or the day before, when Jonny RaZer began a stream, ending with his presumed death by clone (also everyone tried to get the clone to eat the thermal paste but it failed). Other videos soon followed from almost all channels listed in the tags, the two exceptions being RoyalPear, who was marked as replaced by a new pfp and avatar they use to represent themself (became a more crudely drawn Tropius). The other is Joe Caine, who is the only one that I know of who never accepted. If not please let me know-

We also got a website! Clonevpn.com, which has a few pages and a spot to enter your email. As of now, I cannot find any hidden pages, but we have been getting codes, so it’s a matter of time.

Okay. That’s the rough timeline. I reccomend watching because I did NOT watch the streams in full. Seriously, go watch if you haven’t.

Now to some theory stuff!

So, Jonny is gonna do a r/place stream, and I bet they might make a QR code. Maybe to the website! Or we might find new links. It’s not much, but it’s gonna be a domino? And… hey! Mayhe thay’ll give us a new hint. Point is, that r/place stuff is something to watch, since we’ll maybe get an idea as to what the hell the clone has been doing.

In addition, it seems implied that both Riggy AND RoyalPear are currently alive, but not well. RoyalPear in particular is not having a good time and it seems the clone replacing him only has a few days to live and prove itself. So, expect something there in a few days! Probably a secret video, likely of the clone getting taken out. Or we might see something to do with Joe, since he’s the only one who is currently known to own his channel.

I gotta be honest, of all of these guys, I don’t watch much bundun. But he does seem to be similar to Riggy, as he IS implied to currently be alive! As of today, he has appeared in the channel’s respective clonevpn sponsorship, and thus, I expect to see him again. He hasn’t showed up nearly as much as the others, but the fact he is ALIVE is a good sign for him, and I wouldn’t be surprised if him and Riggy might team up or something.

Finally, the main theory one. JOE CAINE. Yes that name is a bit… y’know, certain thing sounds, but Joe is actually an interesting case to me. He is one of the few who hasn’t released a clonevpn sponsor, and also has not shown any sign of being replaced. However, his computer IS mentioned to be glitching out and being slow (sound familiar?) and also his… voice being weird? There’s heavy implications that if another creator is present in the short, he is voicing them?? So, that’s a thing.

Also, he can’t be cloned, and I have a small theory. Joe is already a clone. Think like this: Clones are likely harder to clone than things that aren’t clones. In addition, his appearance is based off of Harold, the grandpa meme dude. So, he could theoretically be a clone of that meme, though not Harold since I don’t think we should bring people who aren’t participating into this without them knowing. Plus, the whole voicing thing. If your a clone, maybe you can imitate other voices. It’s a bit far fetched, but this was fun to right. However, there’s one problem. As of soeeddunning shorts 113, we see he has received a sponsorship offer, and I don’t think they’d be after him if he was a clone. However, if he’s not doing what he should… there’s a chance? Either way I expect

tldr: Jonny is dead, Riggy and bundun teamup, Phaluer was not included because I have no clue where he fits in yet, Joe MIGHT be a clone we’re still figuring it out, and RoyalPear is double doomed. also thanks for reading this mess of thought soup, and make sure to take a look for yourself.

EDIT: This was made before we got confirmation Jonny was alive, sorry bout that. most of the above seems to apply still. Might make a new post tommorow okay thanks again!

cal I’m just popping in bc I saw ur user on my dash and was reminded that I want to say:

1. your art is so cool I love seeing it always, I could ramble about it for ages. Bless u for always sharing it and im sorry for the like/rb ratios they’re the work of the devil (also I need to catch up sooo bad bc I’m hardly ever on to rb….. smh @ myself…)

2. you’re literally such a great dude. Top tier mutual who I adore so much. You’re the wind beneath my wings always and I am so so so grateful for the support on my art even if I’m not creating for TG rn. Like I see ur rbs & tags and I’m just like “(tears in my eyes) thx 👍” in the best way possible

Literally just thank you for being such a kind & welcoming person in the fandom. Ur so epic dude I hope ur having the best day thank you for being my pal 🫶🫶

AHHH WOODSY STOP ILL CRY THIS IS SO SWEET 🥹🥹🥹🥹 beloved mutual my beloved you're too nice i cant take it 🤚

im very thankful for the like to reblog ratios i get cause ik the internet isn’t as into traditional art but i’m still gonna complain about it 💀 and do not worry about reblogging/seeing all my art!! I used to be so on top of reblogging everyones art but i have fallen off a cliff so we’re in similar boats

WOODSY PLEASE YOURE SO NICE I AM ON THE FLOOR!!!!! I try to be welcoming cause ik when i started posting it was so scary and i have a bigger following now i guess? so i wanna use that to showcase more people art (which i need to get on top of reblogging i fear im losing my way) 🫶

[real-reulbbr-band]

Okay! I havnt been able to get your dog George hc out of my head since I read your post!! So I was wondering do you have other doggy hcs for him?? Like what bread he is or how other cats reacted when they first met him??

Thank youuu!! I appreciate that alot!!

(also just to be clear I didn't originate the george is actually a dog thing I've seen it floating around and I was just "yes" lol)

I'm gonna start with the questions you asked and ramble a little lol

I can't obviously go over every cats individual reactions but I think I'll categorize them so:

Skeptical and curious: Tantomile, Coricopat, Jemima, Victoria, Etcetera, Tugger, Asparagus and Cassandra.

It was pretty much a "who is this and why is he here?" thing for them and Etcetera in particular wanted to get up close and personal since she's never seen a dog before and figured he was a funny looking cat.

Wary/ on guard: Munkustrap, Demeter, Poncival, Skimbleshanks, Alonzo and probably Jennyanydots.

It's a dog pretty self explanatory, and judging by the way pollicles are reffered too I don't think the cats appreciate them very much. But they all warm up to him pretty much immediantly since this a really tiny pollicle.

Neutral: Bombalurina, Jellyorum, Tumblebrutus, Mistoffelees, Gus and Electra

It's like the situation happened so quick that by the time they found out it was almost over and it's like well....next. However Tumble was very insistent on meeting George and so Jellyorum had to take him to meet him, since Tumble was so sure he could Tumble better then a dog.

(more under cut)

George is an australian shepard! for refrence:

As for Doggy headcanons:

George really wanted to learn how to purr but it would always end up sounding like a growl or grumble so sometimes Tumblebrutus and Pouncival would assume he'd gotten mad out of nowehere or was just very hungry.

He did not appreciate the typical cat diet alot so he'd frequently rely on Mungo and Teazer (atleast when he was still a pup and couldn't hunt) to grab him something when they went out on a heist.

So many of jenny and Jelly's knitting pieces had gone to ruins because of George's high energy and playfulness.

Speaking of George's high energy he'd try to burn out most of it by doing tasks around the junkyard mostly helping out Asparagus.

George is deathly afraid of being sent to the pound since he loves being with the jellicles so much, so he's pretty much afraid of any kind of truck. like if he spots one or hears one his first instinct is to hide.

George isn't used to how cats carry kittens atleast when he first came to the junkyard, he thought holding them by the scruff was hurting them which led into him barking at Jelly for no reason lol. But hey it's how he met Plato and they're best buddies now. Jellyorum eventually taught George that holding kittens by the scruff was doing them no harm.

Speaking of Plato and George being besties, Plato got George to try catnip with him for the first time cause he was nervous and well it went quite well except when Asparagus caught the two giggling at nothing for hours.

Plato has lost so many naps to George, George can't help if he's bored and his first insitinct is if he can't find Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer go play with Plato. George would normally coax Plato awake by challenging him to a race or just repeatively placing a stick infront of Platoand wagging his own tail.

Though revenge is always in order and Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer will ocassionally distrupt George's naps by just bapping at his stomach or face just so he can chase them around liek old times.

George has gotten licked and groomed far too many times, mostly by Jelly or sometime Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer tag teaming. like it took the jellicle's an embarissingly long time to figure out that dogs aren't supposed to be groomed like that but by the time they did George had grown acustommed to it so they didn't really bother stopping they just introduced him to the concept of swimming more and called it a day.

[elzarkriss]

It's been a week since I finished Jedi: Survivor and my gosh, what a game. Respawn really pulled an Uncharted 2/Empire Strikes Back and completely blew the first game out of the water. After mulling it over for a week, I really think this one is better than Fallen Order. I will confess this is due to mostly personal bias since Survivor has more Merrin and High Republic connections but the gameplay in this one is also a lot more fun.

The story was perfectly written. It handled all of the characters with the grace and dignity they deserved. The game went dark without being too dark and still gives the characters an optimistic ending. However I'm not gonna pretend the last quarter of the game wasn't a punch to the gut over and over. I still almost cry when I see new perspectives on the story or what may happen after. Now that they've had their darker middle chapter, I'm hoping the third game will give the happy ending Cal and the Mantis crew deserve!

Long story short I'll be posting spoilers on here now but they will be tagged cause I saw my fair share of spoilers before I finished. In the meantime, I'll be processing the game in this state:

[thorniest-rose]

So, yes you have already answered me about Cults and I do get that you can’t spoil everything but I still can’t cal down. I made a little theory.

So in the chapter three. Robin says to Billy: "You’re not gonna get away with this" and "I’m not ever gonna stop." So, the fact that this "Cult" is build up on a friendship… I'm starting to suspect something.

In the end, I just fucking hope that the "Cult" whatever fuck it is, won’t hurt Steve or put him in danger.

hi there! Yes, trying not to say too much about the cult element yet as it's important later on, though more is revealed in the next chapter so you'll get more of a sense of how we're using that tag. But it doesn't have anything to do with that conversation between Billy and Robin and doesn't involve Robin in any way. It's much more of a background element for a certain character, which you'll see over the coming chapters. I hope that helps? Of course keep reading the content warnings too and consider taking a break or not reading it if it's causing you any anxiety or stress <3

[bri-to-the-future]

Summer Reading/Writing/Arting

Thanks to @jowritesfanfiction for the tag! :D

Rules: Follow the directions in bold

Describe one creative WIP project you’re planning to work on over the summer.

In April (i think?) i started drawing Doc and Marty together from every decade they visit (including some fandom ones like the 40s or unused ones like the 60s) and I’d like to finish that this summer. I’ll also be finishing McFly July of course!

Recommend a book

The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Claire is the first book in my favorite series. It’s about this boy names Cal who’s father used to be a wizard but raised him to be deathly afraid of magic, so when the time comes for essentially an entrance exam for a magic school called the Magisterium (which is what the series is named after) he tries on purpose to fail it, but one of the teachers notice and he gets in anyways. It has a lot of interesting takes on magic, for example the magic is element based so consuming an element makes your magic stronger (ex pricking your finger then sucking the blood for its oxygen before doing air magic, which a student does to cheat at the entrance exam), but if you overdo it you can become an elemental monster. I dont wanna get into too many specifics, but there’s an incredible reveal in this first book that completely shapes the rest of the series and helps it stand out from other fantasy series.

Recommend a fic

If we’re talking BttF I’d probably recommend a bubble, bursting by @penny-anna . It’s not a super long read since it’s a one-shot but it completely altered my brain chemistry (and also made me cry at work so thanks for that lol). Again, i don’t want to say too much, but if you’re interested in seeing some of the darker/sadder implications of time travel or just want some fantastically written McFly family bonding, i 100% think this is the one. Outside of BttF the Pen Pals chapter of Curreeus’ TF2 Valentines Week collection is one I come back to a lot, it made two characters I’ve always been more indifferent towards incredibly fascinating, and the struggle with a second language is one i can’t relate to personally but the way it’s portrayed here is incredibly well done.

Recommend Music

(Please forgive me I just saw BttF the Musical and Book of Mormon the first time this weekend)

1. Hello, is Anybody Home? from Back to the Future the Musical

2. Future Boy from Back to the Future the Musical

3. Hello! from The Book of Mormon

4. Turn it Off from The Book of Mormon

5. Honeybee by Steam Powered Giraffe

Im gonna stop there before I start recommending entire albums, but thanks again for the tag! I’m not gonna tag anyone just cause I’m in a bit of a rush but anyone who wants to do this is welcome to ofc!

[tragedyforthcoming]

Hi its another day (another c@lorie deficient win!) so heres how it went! (Under the read more ofc like all of my other posts ; follow the tags b4 u read!!)

(ps: $h = spaghetti harm; Use this tag too if u want ig? I'll be refferring to it as that aswell in other posts aswell :) )

right so idk if anyone else experiences this but recently when I eat breakfast, I cant finish it, its not even a whole serving its only like 1/4 of one, but I start to feel rlly nauseous and cant finish my food in whole, like its a rlly strong feeling aswell to the point I cant finish the food in my mouth. I wanna guess it has something to do with the £d? Like my brain blocks off my eating or smth when I've ate a little and makes me nauseous??? If anyone else has any opinions I'll be glad to hear em :)

College was alr today; and I might be getting an actual Dyslexia evaluation in my college soon! And then I also might be able to use a laptop in all my writing exams (Thank fuck If I'm able too lmao). O had practical today and we went to one of the rooms to clean out (I do an animal management course), and I started feeling nauseous AGAIN! But this time also a bit faint, I think I was actually paler then I actually was; but no one picked up on it so it was fine...

Some other people sat with my group today and Istg, I like the other group more than my actual 'friends'. I know it does sounds like I'm a dick 4 admitting that tho. with my 'friends' It feels more like a chore just being w/ them and they always seem pissed off with everything that I do?? Like I had to move far away from one of them just cause of my laptop. Like yeah I understand But I had repeatedly brought it up that I was bringing a laptop and you only say it the day AFTER I do it; it mildly makes me upset tbf. Also im surprised that no one is even noticing me, like I'm only seen if I speak, which I cant do on command btw. There are times where i physically cant speak cause my throat hurts so much it feels like its closing in on itself, and they tried to get me speak. Its honestly so annoying.

In my last lesson of the day I had animal welfare and ethics, we talked abt slaughtering today for some reason my urges like broke thru rlly badly and then I r£lapsed when I got home :/

but enough abt that lets talk numbers!! My weigh in is tmr morning so I'll keep a record then (Hoping I've lost more plsplsplspslpslsplspsl) Today I ate 475 cals and then did 7,918 steps (Nearly 8k gonna kms/j)

But thats all rn cause I'm rlly sleepy, but heres ur song of the day:

[diazsdimples]

WIP Wednesday

Good afternoon friends! Back with some more Single Dads AU, this one is a little longer and sadder than usual and I imagine the next snippet will be a follow up of this because I apparently can't write this fic in order of timeline.

Tagged by @daffi-990 @spotsandsocks @aspecbuddie @cal-daisies-and-briars @hippolotamus @callmenewbie @wikiangela @steadfastsaturnsrings and @smilingbuckley thank you my friends and go read their works RIGHT NOW

Snippet below the cut cause it's lengthy

Buck gets the text just as he’s loading the girls into his truck.

“Your phone pinged, Daddy” Lily says helpfully, booting the back of his seat to get his attention.

Buck knows. He’s been waiting for a text ever since he’d had to leave the hospital to pick the girls up from school. He’d wanted to stay but Hen had made him leave, saying there were enough people waiting around. If she didn’t pull through, Eddie wouldn’t want an audience for his grief.

Buck didn’t want Eddie to have an audience either. He wanted to help Eddie grieve, privately, where he knew he was safe. Where he knew Chris would be looked after.

But Hen had pushed him out the door and told him to collect his daughters, so that’s what he was doing. She’d texted him just as he’d arrive at the school to say that Bobby was there, which made him feel a little bit better.

“Thanks baby,” he replies, flicking Lily a tight smile over the headrest as he pulls out his phone. The text is from Eddie.

Eddie:

Shannon’s gone.

Fuck.

Buck blinks, swallowing thickly.

“Is everything okay, Dad?” Carrie asks, peering at Buck with concern. And that’s the other thing, somehow Buck has to tell his daughters, his sweet, precious girls who lost their own mother when Lily was only a few hours old, that their best friend, their Christopher, has lost his mother too.

But he’s not going to tell them here, in the parking lot of their school. So he nods, reassures Carrie that everything is fine, he even drives them past their favourite donut shop on the way home and buys them a donut of their choice.

It’s when they’re both sitting on the couch, Lily swinging her little legs because they’re not quite long enough to touch the floor, that Buck perches on the edge of the coffee table, pausing briefly to wipe a dusting of powdered sugar off Carries chin, and tells them what’s happened.

He takes a deep breath, not sure where to begin.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” he begins tentatively.

“Did something bad happen?” Lily asks, her face falling.

Buck reaches out and squeezes her knee, rubbing the sparkly fabric of her tights. “Yeah a little.”

When neither girl moves to say anything, both looking up at him with big, worried eyes, he ploughs on.

“We went to an accident at work today. A really bad one. It was a car accident and – well it wasn’t good. Uncle Chim and Aunty Hen tried really hard to save the lady, but she didn’t make it.”

He takes a deep breath, reaching out to brush a stray curl from Carrie’s forehead, before continuing.

“It was Christopher’s mom. Shannon’s –“ his voice breaks and he hangs his head.

“Christopher’s mommy died?”

Carrie’s voice is so small it breaks Buck’s heart. It’s the same voice he heard when he came home from the hospital, Lily wrapped up in a tiny bundle in her carrier and his wife’s wedding ring on a chain around his neck, as he’d knelt in front of his two-year-old daughter and told her her Momma wasn’t coming home.

“Yeah baby,” Buck swallows hard and grabs each girl, pulling them against his chest. “Chris’s mommy died. So, we’re going to need to be super strong for them, okay? They’re gonna need a lot of love and support, like we did when Sar- when Momma died.”

He sniffles, jolting a little when he feels little hands on his face as Lily wipes away his tears, just like he wipes hers when she scuffs her knee or Carrie says something mean to her.

“Do we need to make them food?” she asks, climbing up onto Buck’s knee.

“We can make them Mac and Cheese, that’s Chris’s favourite” Carrie pipes up and Buck lets out a watery chuckle, cupping the back of Carrie’s head as he kisses her forehead.

“You two are both such sweet girls. I think they’d really like that.”

His phone dings again and he fishes it out of his pocket.

Eddie:

Can we come over? I can’t be alone right now

Buck flicks off a quick response.

“Should we get it started then?”

Buck:

Of course. Stay as long as you need

Carrie perks up and Lily pushes herself off his knee, running for the kitchen.

“Right now?” Carrie asks, slipping her hand in Buck’s as they cross the room. “Are they gonna come over?”

“Yeah, I think Eddie and Chris need some friends right now.”

Carri nods resolutely. “They’re our best friends,” she says, looking up at Buck with big, determined, blue eyes. “We can make the hurt go away.”

B

Hi, Ben!  I hope your day is going well!  Had a further thought I forgot to include in my last msg.  So, speaking of Moulin Rouge, and that episode of My Life Is Murder where Tem plays an aspiring musician (I would include a video or picture, but YT and Google are not cooperating today), imagine one of the three walking in on another singing a lullaby to which ever little one you decide on (or just a random foundling, even.)  I feel the best potential options here would be Satine or Jango walking in on the other (especially if the sexin’s have happened but the feels are still a WIP), both of them walking in on Obi-Wan, or Obi-Wan walking in on the two of them doing a duet.

Similarly, for the whole FIL thing; presuming that you’re going the “unexpected encounter lead to unplanned consequences of the natal variety” route, this could also work with him sending the two of them to check on the little one only to find Obi-Wan singing to him, or even just “accidentally” leaving a baby monitor turned on so they overhear it.  (Do I maybe have a thing about dudes who can sing?  That’s not important right now.  XD )  Hell, if you haven’t used it yet in Caught Somewhere In Time, I imagine one finding the other singing Cal to sleep would cause a rather powerful heart boner.  XD 

I feel like I had other thoughts, but I have to clock back in from lunch, so I will hush for now.  I hope you’re feeling good and the writing is flowing!  Take care!  *HUGS!*

Hi B! I have lots of thoughts, so In this one I’m just gonna wish you a good day at work and then write out an entire post for our little Jangobitine au. Because I have inspiration. And yes I am going to count my ramblings into my wordcount for nano cause I’ve only been editing and formatting today and I haven’t been writing. (Though I already passed 50K, I still want to get my 30 day badge XD).

I know I don’t have a way to tag you, but I will mail you the link. Promise.

And including your last message so I can answer both in one ask:

And oh, yes, I LOVE Moulin Rouge.  I remember seeing it in the theater when it first came out, and the soundtrack was in fairly regular rotation in my CD player (not to age myself or anything XD ).  Literally as soon as I hit send, my brain went "did you really just space on the fact that Ewan was in that, too?" XD  And the two of them were one of my favorite parts of Aquaman.  Everything about the two of them was just adorable, and I loved that they let her be taller than her love interest.  I'd seen jokes about two Satines in Ewan's character past before, but I think it was seeing her with the paler hair in Aquaman that made me go "wait..." and look up Satine Kryze's height on Wookipedia (which I'm pretty sure is Nicole's rl height, too.)  Hmm...her as Boba's mother just amuses the hell out of me for some reason, while her as Omega's mom could definitely explain the blond hair.

Speaking of nephews, a fair amount of SW fic I've read mentions Bo-Katan's nephew/Satine's son in ways that either heavily imply or outright state that he's Obi-Wan's son, and I don't know if he's technically alive at this point in canon (and I doubt they'd ever actually make that lineage real), but I'd love to see him roll up to Luke's Island of Misfit Jedi and watch the fallout of them all learning who he is, and also for more crossing of the Mandalorian/Jedi streams.  XD

[riverstardis]

forsaking all others part one:

lmao they’re making sure to remind us in the previously what cal said about nobody passing the fcem the first time. i wonder why that could be? /s

looll robyn’s complaining about there not being any clean mugs and asking if the cleaners are on strike or something and rita’s like the cleaners don’t wash our mugs, it was tess that always did it

“i know the things i’ve been doing are irrational. i also know that they are not unimportant. there’s two voices, both right, both refusing to be ignored.” unfortunately relatable🙃

lmaoo cal and ethan are about to check their fcem results and cal’s like “woah woah woah maybe you should do mine, i’ve probably got the karma of a traffic warden right now” and ethan’s like “i doubt your depraved lifestyle will have affected your exam results” depraved lifestyle sjskdkdkkf i love him

aand they both failed

connie’s like “bad luck boys. i was hoping for more good news but, well, there’s always next time” not for cal😢

lily passed her registrar exam though and she walks in in a dress, heels, hair down, and no glasses sjddjfk

aww she rings her dad but he’s not that impressed and tells her she should’ve done it sooner :( so she’s gonna go look for validation from connie instead

connie reminds her that she still has to formally apply for the registrar position but that since she’s so keen she can be in charge of resus for the day

lmaoo as she’s leaving connie calls her back and goes over and pulls the tag off her dress that she left on like “75% off? bargain”

aww ethan’s like we should do something for lily to celebrate and cal’s like orrr we could not but ethan’s like she’s one of us now whether you like it or not and honey offers to go get something for her

ethan and honey kiss and cal’s like urgh sjskdkdk i don’t think he’s used to being the third wheel

lily’s trying to boss everyone around in resus but cal’s like “you do know you’re not my boss, right?” and she’s like mrs beauchamp put me in charge of resus for today so if you have a problem take it up with her and cal just goes “that’s hilarious, lily”

okay i know he’s a child but surely he’s old enough to understand not to eat peanut butter if he’s allergic???

cal getting annoyed at lily acting like a mini connie and going “i’m still your senior. you can’t just pop in a pair of contact lenses and become queen of the hospital”

jacob asking louise why she quit nursing

ahh he didn’t eat the peanut butter he just fell. i thought that was odd! that makes more sense

honey’s got champagne and a banner for lily, except they didn’t have any banners about exams so she got a ‘congratulations it’s a boy’ one and stuck ‘lily’ over ‘a boy’ sjskdkfkfk

lily comes in while she’s showing ethan what she got and they hurriedly shove them in the fridge and ethan asks lily to meet him in there at the end of the shift and then as soon as they’re gone lily looks to see what they were doing

“i have been doing it on my own for 38 years. there comes a point when you just have to say this is me, faulty somehow” :(((

lily shouting at everybody in resus and trying to deal with a patients family causing a scene

skskkf jacob trying to get his new gang violence protocol through by telling connie that rita had already seen it and liked it and by telling rita that connie had already seen it and liked it but they realised what was going on as soon as they spoke to each other about it

now lily’s telling ethan off because he encouraged the guy to tell his partner the truth instead of just telling her himself “you should have told the mother exactly what the boyfriend did. she had the right to know. then she wouldn’t have caused a scene in my resus making me look bad” and he kinda looks at her in disbelief and goes “emergency medicine isn’t about personal glory, lily, we’re meant to be a team” and she’s like “i thought so too. yet i don’t make these mistakes. i work hard. i pass my exams” and walks off and ethan kinda sarcastically says “well, congratulations, lily”

lmaoo ethan going “let’s see what stag night horrors await” and cal’s like “sounds good to me! i am ready to bury my face in a stripper’s… personality” SJSKFKKFK

cal’s clearly more bothered about their failing than ethan is and ethan says that this place has a way of putting things into perspective and cal’s like please don’t be that guy sjskkdkf

so he tells cal “at least you did better than me” “what?” “you did read the results breakdown?” cal shakes his head “you scored one point higher, so there, there’s something for you to boast about” “you’re kidding? i beat nibbles? I BEAT NIBBLES!” and he walks off happy and honey’s like “did he really do better than you?” and ethan’s like “no, of course he didn’t” sjskdkfkrk i love himmm

i’ve definitely said this before but this is one of the things that makes the golden child scapegoat theory not hold imo, because yes cal thinks that ethan likes being better than him and likes to “lord” over him which would fit with that but we’ve seen time and time again how that’s not actually true and for this and other reasons (honestly i keep meaning to do a proper post on this) i think the only way it would make sense was if their dad switched the roles around so they were both the scapegoat sometimes but then that doesn’t explain why only cal changed his name, which is where the theory came from in the first place, so i suspect it was just something else entirely

aww lily goes to staffroom like ethan asked her to at the end of the shift but nobody’s there and she sees the banner in the bin. i mean what did she expect really

tess! she’s wishing zoe luck and congrats for the hen night and wedding via video

connie telling lily she did well and congratulating her and then telling her to enjoy the hen party but i’m guessing she wasn’t invited. she tries to catch them but they leave before she can

okay now i’ve gotta try and find the special
