My friends bakery burned down last night, now is business is toast

[mcaquila]

More WIPs from that mystery fan project (though we do see a pretty recognizable character here, whatevs), the point is I wanted to upload these to note for posterity that the kid on the top left WAS going to get "Heel" as his surname because he got a foot cut off before his death. Because I have a terrible sense of humor.

But it had to be omitted for reasons. Sigh.

Or should I say.... it had to be CUT OUT bwahaha.

[thinkingnot]

a good name is one you can make endless puns and catchphrases with, one you can come up with 50 different versions of nicknames for, one the bearer will be so fed up with hearing the bad puns made

The homestuck fandom probably flourished during the pandemic, because they were all

Home stuck hahahaahhaahhahahahahahah

Job Roulette.. or Not: A Post about Alter Roles

Roles like Hosts? Protectors?.. maybe a Cleaner? an Academic?.. why is there an alter who comes out only for driving?! What about these other alters who don't really do much--they got to have one right??

--Are probably what you might be thinking when this topic comes up. But, there's something more into it,, it's not all about what job or how the role is assigned to an alter only.

Well, for this post, lets talk EVERYTHING about how roles work, what kinds exist, why it's there?? And especially, why are some more task specific, multi-role, or even... none? Bowl straight to the point, let's roll out. Haha punny

Ok J, spill. What are they?

Hold on. Im pulling out this dictionary definition of it--ah!

"defined positions that are associated with given responsibilities and are usually allocated according to the position or ability of each person."

To put it in system terms, it's how different parts can do something that others couldn't, or, feel a sense of responsibility in one particular aspect. That's making sense right? But oh.. you still want to know why they're there at the first place. Fine, follow me!

Yeah, show me why!

As aforementioned, this disorder boxes up our different parts of selves with amnesia and weaker bonds of connection which really sets us back on easing our 'modes' for different situations.. not only that, a part's moods and state/personality can greatly affect what kinds of jobs they get, it's not so random as you'd thought.

So, thing is, because some alters have a distinguished ability capable in doing something, depending what fragment or pre-existing knowledge/experience it holds, that can become it's very own job task.

They can be hereditary (upon split or formed), gained (fuse or passed traits), or even learnt (by its own commitment, without any prior skills). Roles come from many origins, and none of them are so different.

But, some are more complex..

I get it, some can have more than one, have ultra specific ones, or literally just don't have any. Now it makes you think--if it was from predisposed strengths each alters naturally have, then why are some more niche? or like, anything else? I know why:

Our brains are complex alright. We both can think maybe we can do (even if we don't like it) and not do something, and these are all compartmentalized in each alters, so basically its part feelings, part acceptance of such trait, and part commitment as the formula. Even confidence or the call to action affects this outcome!

This can apply to who can handle more than one jobs, or for those who are more specific or lesser known roles. In fact, roles do not have any limits, they are specifically tailored for your functionality so don't fret if you have an alter who's job is only to sleep, or anything else 'silly' !

What about the ones without.. roles?

Do you think it feels wrong to not have roles? While it is true that roles are needed, they're not actually a required standard for everyone to have a job task. Mainly, ANP's are the one who usually have roles, but EP's can too.

If they do not have a role, they might be disinterested or think they don't have any potential, or sometimes they're only there to hold memories / don't have the qualified skill sets, and thats okay! You can take proactive action in anyhow you'd like, just remember, every parts aren't forced to contribute, you know? It doesn't make them useless, maybe more on passive support/back ups.

I've also seen some systems who don't really have roles because the alters are all well-rounded, as in pick up other's tasks and that they're not assigned/compelled to do a particular job at all times, like being flexible. everyone's different!

Make sense, anything else?

Well, that we are not bound to roles, they do not define us, and that we can lose, or change roles according to our growth. Have anyone ever mentioned that?

Im aware that we tend to put too much emphasis on having jobs and being contributive, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that we all in this together, and to help each other, in a way or another.

Never forget that you're more than your job! Maybe try to enjoy other parts of life, yeah?

--

Thats the end of the post. What will you do if you find a new alter with no impressions of having a role? How do you see roles in your own pov? What's the first thing you'd do if you were to be free from your job task, if any? Feel free to let me know, i hope this has been informative, im willing to add anything if something's missing!

Does Vivek’s species happen to have a name? And would we be able to make OC’s with said species?

Shockingly, i have not thought of a funny punny name for his species! Noodibronks? nude-ybranchs?? pfff i someday it’ll come to me. All i know is they’re subspecies to the sea slug/nudibranch alien race lol

for now i just call them Nudeys! As for making OCs!! YES!! go ahead!! plenty of people have made their own OCs which is very flattering haha. I do plan on making a proper species reference sheet thing that people can look at to make their own but for now, here are some things to look for!!

you don’t need to follow this one! but, they mainly do wear robes!! traditional for their species

vibrant colors! (take inspiration from nudibranchs)

they wear visors cause these guys are blind

multiple tails!!

they’re pretty short. 5,2”—5,5” at most! Vivek is considered to be the tallest amongst his species being about 6,3”. Though his antennas make him look way taller (7,5”)

But honestly! Be creative with your designs! i always love seeing unique variations of them

Some sad Shuji doodles with some of my headcanons about this punny turtleneck bastard haha. I enjoy thinking of this man as an extremely depressed/suicidal bastard whose only life's purpose is to bring about the Fall so he can finally find release :V Pharos is there because I thought it'd be funny to have him

anyway I've been feeling some kind of way (tm), so doodling shuji is very cathartic

FOREBODING SENSE OF IMPENDING HAPPINESS [a VV one-shot]

A Blind Date for Ville Valo & OC

Thank you to @sinnysioux for the request.

(I actually love this so I may use this as a jumping off point for a fic in the future. 👀 Maybe we do it as a Choose Your Own Adventure thing? Where I poll readers for plot points? Thoughts?)

Ville stood outside a bar in Helsinki smoking a cigarette, kicking himself for ever agreeing to go on a blind date. At the time, he was going through a rough dry spell and when a friend of his mentioned Ville had a lot in common with a single female friend of theirs, Ville agreed without a second thought. But having had a week to sit and think about it, he was dreading it. He had no clue what to expect, but he was too much of a gentleman to stand someone up. So he was going to follow through and ghost if she turned out to be an obnoxious groupie or hairy bridge troll.

All his friend told him was his friend, Ava, had long brown hair with pink side bangs. So he stood and waited for what he felt was forever, until sure enough, a petite girl matching the description rounded the corner.

Ville felt instant relief when he realized she was actually very beautiful, but the apprehension that she’d be an obnoxious groupie still lingered. He dashed his cigarette and cleared his throat as she approached;

“Hi, excuse me, um, are you Ava?” he asked, cautiously.

The woman stopped walking and looked at him with the warmest brown eyes he’d ever seen. She had delicate features, wearing a deep, dark green dress polka-dotted with little black bats. She smiled and Ville felt his heart flutter, “Yeah, I guess you’re Ville?” she replied.

Ville couldn’t help but mirror her smile. “I am.”

“It’s so nice to meet you.” Ava opened her arms for a hug, which Ville, surprising himself, happily reciprocated.

“Pleasure meeting you as well. Um, do you want to sit at the bar, or..?” Ville began.

Ava shrugged happily, “Sure, that works. Um, I’m not much of a drinker but I’d love a coffee.”

“Oh, well that’s quite alright. I’m not a drinker either. Erm… would you rather go to a proper coffee shop? It might be quieter, better for conversation.”

“Absolutely. I think I just passed a Starbucks, is that okay?”

“Brilliant.” Ville replied, following her lead.

All of the dread Ville initially felt had long faded away, and his heart was light and fluttery. He reminded himself to thank his friend, he was grateful she was in fact not a hairy bridge troll.

The pair found a quiet booth in a more secluded area of the Starbucks and sat with their coffees. Ville had ordered a black coffee, Ava a caramel macchiato.

“What do you do for work, Ava?” he asked her as he nursed the too-hot coffee in front of him.

“I’m a hairstylist.” she responded, “I already know what you do. But uh, how’s that going for you?”

Ville chuckled, “Yeah, I figured you knew. Um, it’s going well. I guess.” he shrugged.

“Oh?” his pessimism piqued her interest, a mood she hadn’t expected.

“Yeah our drummer’s wrists are fucked so we’re waiting to find out what the prognosis is. It’s holding a lot up, so I’m just writing here and there, hoping there’ll be a new album to put them on someday.”

Ava’s brows furrowed compassionately, “Ah, I see. Well hopefully the prognosis is positive. Aside from music, what do you do for fun?”

“I read, a lot. Mostly in the bath. What about you?”

“The same, oddly enough. I mean, not the bath part, but I read. I have a book buying problem. There’s a stack of new books I’ve never touched on the side of the bed.”

“Ah, I understand your plight. I’ve a habit of buying books everywhere I go. Whether or not they get read–”

“Is a different story.” she finished his sentence. “Haha. Punny.” she joked.

Ville was cheerfully surprised at her quick wit. “Exactly.” he laughed.

The pair kept talking and laughing for another hour or so before Ava realized the Starbucks employees were beginning to place chairs on table tops, indicating they’d be closing up.

“I think we’re running out of time here.” Ava said to Ville, gesturing with her head towards the baristas scurrying about.

Ville was far from ready to say goodnight, he was fascinated by everything she had to say. His friend was right; he and Ava had a *lot* in common. It was refreshing to be able to hold a conversation with a woman and have there be no lulls in the conversation at all. It was like speaking with an old friend.

“So, um, do you need to be getting back home or…” Ville began to question.

Ava shook her head, “Uh, nope. I’m still free tonight.”

“Do you want to grab a bite? I think the bar we were previously has some good options.” he suggested.

“Absolutely.” Ava replied happily.

As the pair exited the coffee shop, Ville took a chance, and he snaked his fingers between hers as they walked. To his elation, she held his hand back. He was reading the vibe correctly, thankfully.

Unfortunately, when they returned to the bar where they had met initially, they found it absolutely packed. Not exactly conducive to pleasant conversation, they’d have to shout to hear over the crowd.

“Well, uh, should we call it a night?” Ava asked, frowning slightly.

Ville bit the inside of his lip, hoping his next suggestion wouldn’t turn her off, “Pardon me if this is inappropriate, but would you maybe want to pick up a pizza and head back to my place? Just to talk?” Ava looked surprised and Ville quickly recovered himself, “Uh, not for anything nefarious. Just conversation, honest.”

Ava blushed and giggled, “I knew you didn’t mean anything by the suggestion. Yes, I’d love to. Again, not really a bar gal.” she shrugged.

A few hours later, Ava and Ville sat enjoying some music on Ville’s couch. They were sipping on tea Ville had made them and sitting particularly close.

“So that’s why that relationship fell apart…” Ville trailed off of the story he’d been telling about an ex.

“I’m afraid I don’t have quite that many stories of exes,” Ava admitted, “I just got out of a five year relationship at the beginning of the year.”

“Oh?” Ville coaxed.

“Yep. Its always fun finding out your best friend is sleeping with your boyfriend. Two relationships down the drain in one fell swoop.” she nodded as she stared into her teacup.

Ville mentally cringed, “Oh damn, that’s terrible. I’m so sorry to hear that.” his hand reached out for hers, her thumb gently stroking the back of his hand, causing more butterflies in Ville’s stomach.

Ava smiled, “Well, you know, at least I was able to move onto better.”

“Yeah, same here.” Ville whispered. Their faces ever so slightly moving towards each other, a game of chicken almost. Ville inhaled deeply through his nose as though he was about to dive underwater. “Forgive me.” Ville blurted out as he sat his cup down before suddenly connecting his lips with hers.

Ava kissed back, blindly setting down her own cup, her now free hand reaching for the side of his face delicately. Ville pressed his tongue forward, Ava accepted.

Ville allowed his lips to linger before pulling back, “Sorry, I just–”

“Needed to know if it felt right?” Ava finished his sentence for him. “Well?” she pressed.

Ville nodded, “And you?”

Ava didn’t answer, she gently pulled him close by the collar of his shirt and kissed him again. Ville placed his hand on her waist and felt a shiver go up his spine while thanking his lucky stars – and his friend – for this amazing first date.

M!! So happy to see you pop up on the dash again 😀 since you asked for nasty things, (and in honor of halloween) any ideas of what sort of risqué costumes the AOT boys would love to see their s/o in?

HEYYY moch <333 so happy to see you in my asks, how are you my love?? i would LOVE to elaborate on this, thank you sm for such a seasonal and fun prompt

eren

ok, call him basic but i think eren would love any animal costume. bunny, cat, dog, whatever. i feel like he secretly loves giving you a silly pet name just for the night (sue me, but i think for this situation alone he would love calling you "bunny/kitten/puppy" for the night)

the ears are really cute to him idk why i just know it's true

i think he also loves anything matching he can do with you. prisoner + warden, beast boy + raven, jack skellington + sally, etc

i'm going to throw him in the same category as reiner here that he thinks "scarier" or i guess like darker, more intense costumes are sexy??

i think eren's all-time fav costume in that regard would be Misa from death note (totally not because that's my costume this year haha....) bc you know that's his Fav Anime Gf or like, the purge costumes where it's just girls covered in blood with machetes and the light up masks

he loves blood on a costume too i think that just really gets him going

jean

i feel like jean would love anything downright sexy, borderline whore-ish LOLOLOL

that sounds really vague, but i think he'd like anything that's been....corrupted?

sexy nun, sexy teacher, sexy nurse, etc. i think jean loves watching you pull your lingerie on and try to excuse it as a costume

definitely makes you 30 minutes late to the halloween party

i feel like he doesn't like to dress up much himself, like he's very snobbish in that aspect and feels "too mature" (what a brat), but he loves seeing yours and wants to come out with you every year to see what you put on and to fight guys off of you

reiner

okay so firstly, let's just go ahead and acknowledge that reiner wants to match with you, regardless of what you wear. let's just get that out of the way bc that's basically canon

i hope this doesn't sound too perverse, but i think reiner's a big fan of the more...scary/intense/darker stuff

like a vampire but genuinely scary with the eyes and shit for example, or like Misa from death note, shego from kim possible, one of the shining twins, whatever

he loves all of the Typical Goth Girl costumes

i also just picture him being such a black-cat-gf, my-gf-could-kick-my-ass type dude so maybe my personal headcanons are leaking in

but i also think he would just love anything punny. like any costume that has a little bit of a joke to it? he's a sucker for puns/dad jokes and i think he can also appreciate a wholesome moment

[tehrogueva]

So this was not originally my plan for @hheisa birthday, My dumb ass forgot to ask when it was so i could prepare accordingly XD . But it happened to be what i was working on at the time, so...

Here ya go!

So the Story, why these two meeting? Well, upon listening to my old Lust stuff, the voices are very, similar in how they are kinda flirty and sassy. So... haha why not.

Plusiveseencommentsofpeoplecallinghimthenewlustsoahahahahaha

All this is for fun! Nothing naughty happens, they just being sassy, flirty and punny with each other, get ya brains out of the gutter :P

Kobiya High/Transformers Kotobokiya Lore

So as some of my guys might realise/know that I have the Kotobokiya Bishoujo Transformers girls as Muses

And it just had me thinking... Might be good to let everyone who what In doing with them as characters, haha

Okay so first off, let me explain what these are. Basically Kotobokiya is a company that makes very beautiful anime style statues. They do lots of official characters (like Marvel and DC Heroines) but they also have a few spin off lines. Such as the Bishoujo line where they make genderbent human formed characters, in this case transformers. There is no more or story for them at all

So... Yeah. My own unique idea/stuff

The group all go to Kobiya High, nice and simple. And the girls are split into two... Factions, kinda.

....

Also. Be warned. Lots of punny names incoming

The Factions

First we have the AutoBot Action Band (ABAB) where the good girls are. They are group that just specialises on... Well.... Having fun. Trying new things. Doing sports, acting, adventuring and playing music. It's basically an excuse in order to just hang out and have fun

On the other hand we have the DeceptiCon Disciplinary Committee (DCDC), the school police kinda thing lead by the Student Council. You've seen them in many anime and Japanese franchises.

And now... On to the characters/Muses!

Characters/Muses

Optima Convoy is the leader of ABAB, a fun loving and free spirited girl who is wise beyond her years. Coming across as a big sister to every member of the club. Someone who lives in the moments. And is also a big nerd. Optima actually being a nickname, as her real name is Oriana and she has some of the highest grades in class

BumbleBecky is a girl who forever has stars in her eyes. Lacking self confidence, making friends is one of the things that could keep her smiling forever.

Megatronia is the Student Council President, and also the head of the DCDC. Classic high power president type, think Satsuki Kiriyuin form Kill La Kill. She took over the Council President position from a girl called Zeta, who had made the school a war zone. Putting down social expression for uniformity and high grades. But after taking control, and through the election, she became twisted. In ways making the school a better and more accepting place, but also making the punishment for rule breaking even harsher. Pushing her and her old friend Oriana apart....

StarStacey is Megatronia's right hand gal in the DCDC, a typical spoilt rich girl type who will try and seize command from the president any chance she gets.

That is the main cast all done. The four official muses. However Kotobokiya does repaints, as does Transformers. And while there are not enough pics for me to add these girls by themselves, there IS enough for me to let them exist as soon offs to an extent....

Spin Off Characters/Muses

ThunderCandy is part of StarStacey's Seeker Trio. A drama queen who wishes to be an actress, she is highly focused on her looks

SkyWendy is the final member of the Seeker Trio. She is a bit of a ditz, and also a prankster. There to back up the other two as told but when left alone to her own devices... She causes chaos

Nemisa Convoy is Optima's twin sister. A trouble maker who works for the DCDC in exchange for being allowed to get away with her chaos as she so desires. A bitchy bitch who will happily kick your ass as soon as sucking your dick.

[moldymeat]

Some thoughts I had while playing Psychonauts 2 for the first time that I wanted to write down somewhere because I cant just keep info dumping to my dad. :]

Spoilers, duh

TL;DR this is my new favorite video game :D

I cringed so much through the whole process of turning Hollis into a gambling addict, I know Raz is just a kid and that they make up afterwards, but its so hard for me to play a video game and the character you play as does something I'd never do.

the music that plays in Hollis' Hotstreak reminds me of something from The Incredibles for some reason. Side note, I ADORE both PN1 and PN2's soundtracks and I do listen to them just as background noise. my favorites are all the circus tracks, Meat Circus, Flea Circus, Aquato Family Caravan

Me first hearing the main bad guys name was Maligula at the beginning of the game: "haha, Maligula kinda sounds like Amygdala, the part of the brain that controls emotions, especially fear! I sure love all the punny names in this game! I'm sure this will have nothing to do with this characters lore!"

In my head video games and film are kind of in separate categories, so hearing Jack Black and Elijah Wood, very prolific film actors voicing characters in this seemingly random video game was kinda jarring. I know now that Jack Black is friends with the creators of PN and has acted in other double fine games, buts its still kinda weird to me. (I still liked them tho)

In the Psi-Kings Sensorium, Helmut says "My Bobby" about Bob and my immediate thought was "something a little fruitys going on here" and then later on they show Bob and Helmuts marriage and stuff and I was like "oh something a LOT fruitys going on here". I think I was just so prepared for any kind of relationship for Bob and Helmut to have to be only subtext that I forgot this game came out in 2021 and they could show gay if they wanted to.

Psi pops are definitely sour grape and green apple flavored and dream fluffs are little condensed balls of cotton candy.

In hindsight, Gristol was totally trying to mail his own body to himself for safe keeping, but also he was the only mail worker so how did he think the package was going to get him? he didn't know he was going to get an intern and its not like he could walk down to the mail room as Truman without blowing his cover. My mans did NOT think this through.

The conversation Raz has with Dion is really sad and stuff, but when you're idling around Dion one of the things he says is "look at me and my psychic goggles!" and I literally laughed out loud when I heard that.

"Hey why do all these lice have little signs lol" "Lucy those were peaceful protesters!" "OH, UH OH."

I really loved Comptons Cookoff! it was way different from all the other regular old platformer levels, and I'm a sucker for timed cooking games. I only wish that you could replay the actual game show part in the collective unconscious.

In Cassie's Collection there are all the little paper fairy tale characters right? Well two of them, Shakespeare and a dragon, are played by the same actors who played Snorpy and Chandlo in bugsnax, so hearing the paper characters talk I was like "hey, I know those guys!"

Its a little pet peeve of mine when a character in any media is supposed to come from a specific country and they don't have that country's accent. Obviously Grulovia isn't a real place, but Nona has a nondescript eastern European accent, so why wouldn't the other Grulovian characters? I guess Augustus could have trained it out of himself or something, but Gristol? As much as I like Elijah Wood as Gristol, he's the gzesarevich and loves his country! there's no way he would train himself out of the grulovian accent. I've heard some other people say Gruman has an accent when Maligula was released but eh, I don't hear it all that much.

While finishing the game I (only!) shed a tear three times, once when Maligula was holding Marona's dead body, once when Raz got his junior Psychonaut badge, and once when the credits starting rolling.

i think Cosmic I and Welcome to my Mind are going to be stuck in my head for weeks.

HI HI I WAS BORED HERE’S PART TWO (this was written two days ago)

Floor infinity! Going up!

…

..

.

Split stood quietly within the slightly cramped space, humming to herself as she waiting for the elevator to stop. She didn’t remember the elevator taking this long time to reach a floor. Maybe something was wrong with the cables? Did it even have cables? Maybe? What did she know; she was a fruit-taur not a technician!

…

What’s it like being a technician anyway? Is she even using the right profession? Sounds like a pretty annoying job. Having to fix everything all the time everytime it breaks or something.

Ding

Her thoughts were interrupted by the familiar ringing ding of the elevator as it abruptly stopped at its floor. As she prepared herself to get out she was instead met with an unexpected, yet not unwelcome, surprise as the sounds of low quality yet cheerful music filled her floppy ears. If that wasn’t enough, the stuffy heat and subtle metallic washing over her as her fellow part bug ‘pal’, or as she considered him, entered the elevator.

The moment he laid his several eyes on her, he let out a sigh.

"Why are you here? What are you even doing here? It’s 5am…"

"Well a fine good morning to you too, Pest..! How’s the subway treating you? I’m on my way to-"

"It’s nice. That’s nice."

"It is isn’t it?"

"話すのをやめて。(Stop talking)."

"Still don’t understand you. MayBEE you should teach me whatever you’re speaking sometime."

"私はパスします (I’ll pass)."

"Heh!"

Silence apart from the usual creaking and funky music filled the elevator. After a few more moments the familiar ringing ding filled the space once more.

`Finally!`

"Oh how time FLIES! It was nice seeing you this morning. Have a LICE day! Oh wait that wasn’t really hygienic… Anyway, bye Pest!"

The party guest beetle only chattered in response. Maybe he wasn’t in a punny mood this morning. Oh well! More for the others.

She stepped off the elevator and onto the floor, taking a deep breath as she inhaled the fresh air. She always wondered how this floor was one of the few that were always outside in the open. That was weird. Very weird. Hmm…

Oh well!

She made her way into the maze, having to hunch over a small bit to fit entirely into the cramped space. She never understood how she could live in here? She found it small and dark and confusing. Then again, she was a bit small and dark and confusing, it fit her in a way.

"Hello? Anyone there?"

Silence

"Guess she does sleEP-!"

Split let out a startled yelp as she turned a corner and promptly bumped into someone. Fortunately she didn’t fall over, unlike whoever had met her head on. She adjusted her glasses and looked down at the spluttering and spazzed being, a warm smile soon gracing her face as the gave a low chuckle.

"Good morning Bive! I hope you don’t mind me dropping in so early. I was a bit impatient and bored so I decided to just come by now!"

The poor hairball was still confused, trying to grasp the situation as she stared blankly at Split before finally coming to her senses.

"AH-! Split! Hello! Had me worried! I thought you were a secret agent of the Clown Military who found me! HAHA-! I knew I picked the perfect spot to block their feeble radio tracking signals! THEY’LL NEVER FIND ME-!"

Split barely understood a word of any of that, she rarely understood Bive in general. That’s what why she loved her. It was always a new conspiracy theory about clowns. Or some life changing 'evidence' that’ll prove her right. She admired that about her. Her confidence that she was in the light, that she knew the truth, while others «minus Split» were manipulated and fed lies by… whoever really!

"You’re right! You’re great at hiding, Bivey. Maybe you could teach me how to avoid them when you get the chance! I’m sure it’ll be very helpful."

"Bivey- GRK-YES! YES! An INGENIOUS plan Split! You’re the only one willing to listen and take precautions! They’re coming after all! It’s only a matter of time before they do arrive! And when it happens we’ll be prepared!"

Bive would shake and tremble, her hands shaking violently as she rambled on and on.

"THAT BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT! While I was trying to finish my corkboard last night, I was hit with a sud-"

"Last night? Bive have you… slept? At all?"

The black haired creature stared at her before letting out a cackle.

"OHOHO THAT’S YOUR BEST ONE YET SPLIT!"

Eventually, her laughter died down she sighed and looked at the fruit-taur. Once realizing it was, in fact, not a joke, she let out an awkward cough and cleared her throat.

"Ah… You’re serious… Ahah..-! When you’re a genius detective as myself, sleep only gets in your way. It makes you vulnerable. I don’t need sleep! Sleep is a one way ticket to getting caught! All I need is my special brew! That’s all I need, HA!"

Split could hardly believe her ears. Is that safe? Is that even possible?! How can someone just not sleep?! A wave of concern immediately washed over her as the detective continued to ramble on and on about her 'special brew'. Was it just pure caffeine? How does one even obtain pure unfiltered caffeine? Is it even legal?

At least that means she had a new goal in mind! Get this idiot to sleep… But how was a new problem… Maybe she could wait her out? No that wouldn’t work… She mentioned her special brew… Maybe if she could stop her from drinking it she’ll crash? It’s plausible, that still left the issue as to how..

Maybe distracting her with something? Maybe they could go to that RedBall Diner! That would definitely work. Now all she had to do was choose her next words carefully. No matter how easy the plan sounded on paper, it had to be executed flawlessly, with no in between.

Considering Bive was not only cautious, but easily deterred by anything that didn’t contribute to her theories, Split had to play her next moves as if this were a game of chess. Not that she knew how to play chess, she was more of a checkers girl.

"Hey Bivey? I was thinking and I really wanna know! What’s your opinions on the diner?"

"OHOHO! Don’t get me started on that place! The robots are weird, the place is weird, their boss?! WEIRD! It’s so strange!"

"Do you think they may be hiding something there?"

"HA! Like they’d hide anything of use in there."

"What if that’s what they want you to think?"

Bive paused. Split could see the gears in her head turning as she continued.

"Maybe they’ve got LOTS of secrets about the clown military or those snow soldiers. Don’t you wanna check just to be safe? After all, you can never be too careful, right?"

Split watched and waited in anticipation, holding her breath as Bive narrowed her eyes, humming quietly to herself as she thought about what the fruit-taur had said.

Inhale

"You make an excellent point.."

Exhale

"Thank you! I think we should get moving, don’t you? We don’t wanna miss out on any opportunities or secrets or other thingies!"

Bive nodded as she navigated the two of them out of the maze, ignoring the babbling of Fleshy and avoiding the corrosive oil of Scary Mike.

Split began wondering if it was just the coffee that left the detective unable to sleep; but it certainly seemed to be a main factor of the problem.

Eventually the two finally exited the maze. How long were they in there for? The sun was already out. Surely it hadn’t been that long. Nevertheless, they approached the elevator and pressed the button, waiting for the doors to open as they sat there quietly.

"… Why do you call an alligator detective?"

"Wha-?"

"An investi-gator…"

"… OH! INVESTI-GATOR! LIKE INVESTIGATORS BUT IT’S AN ALLIGATOR! HAHA!"

Split smiled as she got the joke, letting out a quiet giggle herself as the elevator let out a quiet ding before its doors opened. It was empty for now, no one stood within its wood and metal walls as the two stepped inside.

It was rather relaxing actually, at least for the fruit-taur. Bive looked as if she were about to have an entire breakdown right then and there, staring at one specific corner of the elevator the entire ride. Then again she always did that so there was really no difference for Split.

After a few minutes, the doors of the elevator opened, exposing the RedBall Diner office rather than its front doors. It was a little strange but not enough for anyone to make too big of a deal about it.

Split tapped the shoulder of a distracted Bive and motioned towards the open doors, partially leading and dragging her out of the elevator. Yeah… She definitely needed a good night’s sleep…

Once she came back to her senses, she stiffened at the feeling of someone’s hands on her shoulders, relaxing only when she realized it was only Split.

"Come on. No more staring at walls. We’ve got secrets to uncover!"

So far her plan was working perfectly… Okay maybe not perfectly but it was going well so far! That’s all that mattered to her. Bive was relatively silent for the moment, glancing around suspiciously with narrowed eyes, taking mental notes of her surroundings, even glaring at the animatronics with clear contempt.

"So… What do you think they’re hiding?"

"Isn’t it obvious?! They’re clearly creating more parasitic creatures to gather information for the group!"

"The who?"

"THE GROUP! They’re working with them…"

That didn’t answer her question in the slightest…

"Right! The group! Whoever they are… Say I’m feeling a bit hungry. How about we get something to eat? Since we’re already here and all!"

"There’s no way their food is safe for consumption! They certainly have planted microchips that make their way up to your brain and convince you to buy more pencils! Then the guards in the pencils will attack when you’re at your weakest! They’ll leave you paralyzed before dealing a devastating final blow and leaving you to rot!"

"Alright, alright. But I’m just saying, a cheese pizza does sound pretty Gouda."

"Gouda-? Wha-"

"What Gouda? There’s no Gouda around- OHOH! A CHEESE JOKE! BECAUSE YOU SAID CHEESE PIZZA! AND GOUDA IS TYPE OF CHEESE! I GET IT! HA!"

"Yeah! But honestly I’m gonna get a cheese pizza. Are you sure you don’t want anything? Just to keep your energy up while we look for anything out of the ordinary?"

Bive was left unsure. She hadn’t eaten anything yet and while it would definitely give her the energy, she wasn’t sure if she actually wanted to risk being infected with mind controlling microchips.

"But… The microchips…"

"How about this? I’ll try it out first and let you know if there’s any microchips in it, that way you don’t have to risk getting infected!"

Without waiting for an answer, Split quickly hurried to order a medium pie. Not wanting to be left alone in unfamiliar terrain, Bive hastily followed after whilst growing annoyed .

Could the fruit-taur not see the danger she was putting herself in?! This was a reckless and stupid decision… With each passing moment, Bive grew more and more agitated at her carelessness. Yet as she thought about it, she realized Split was doing this for her. She didn’t have to take the risk, but she did it anyway…

Huh…

That’s actually…

That’s actually pretty sweet…

She sighed as she remained close to Split, listening as she ordered a medium cheese pizza and following her over to one of the tables once finished.

"You’re not actually gonna eat anything are you? That’s a stupidly huge risk to be taking. You don’t know what they’ve put in those things!"

"I’m sure I’ll be fine. No need to worry wart."

Just because she didn’t need to worry doesn’t mean she wasn’t going to. If anything, her nonchalant attitude made it worse. How could she be so calm when she was about to poison herself?! Who poisons themselves and is calm about it?! That’s like… like… like a deer not running away from the snap of a twig! Is a good analogy? Probably not but who cares? Who cares when the person you care for the most is LITERALLY about to put toxins in her body?!

While the wait was only a few minutes, it felt as if it were several hours. The food eventually arriving as Split gave Bive a comforting smile. Of course it didn’t help at all since she was still basically about to ingest death.

The moment she took a bite Bive had thought her heart had stopped. She’s going to have to explain to everyone how the fruit-taur met her end. She was never gonna meet anyone who actually understood her again. She would have to bury her on her own. What were her favourite flowers? As much as she didn’t trust them she was going to have to bring some twice a year. One for her birthday and another for her death day. Oh the humanity! How would she-

Wait…

Wait a minute

She’s okay…?

How is that possible?! Was the food actually safe for consumption? The chances were slim but plausible. Wait that’s not the point, what really matters is that Split’s okay! Oh thank whatever deity was watching over them for proving her suspicions wrong. She didn’t know what she would do without her.

"… Do you… feel alright?"

"Uhm… I’m not hungry anymore?"

"Perhaps I was wrong… You don’t feel like buying anything pencils?"

"Nope!"

"What about clowns? How do you feel about clowns now?"

"The same as usual."

"Snow soldiers?"

"Not to be trusted."

Huh. She was wrong. Guess the food was safe for consumption. At least the cheese pizza, who knows what they had in everything else.

"I guess… it is edible.. You’re not lying to me right?"

"Why would I ever lie to you?"

She had a point there…

"So are you gonna eat some or am I gonna have to finish this on my own? Not that I mind. I’m pretty sure I would finish this alone."

Bive glanced between her and the pizza, still holding onto her suspicions as she let out a quiet sigh. Eventually, she hesitantly reached for a slice and held it for a moment; inspecting it to make sure there was truly nothing wrong with it. Once it had met her standards, she took a bite herself.

It wasn’t good… But it wasn’t bad either.

"… Well then… It’s not something I’d eat daily. I doubt it’d even go well with my brew. But it’s okay I suppose.."

"I told you everything would be fine."

"Yes I know."

"But you were still freaking out weren’t you?"

"Yes I-"

"You were all worried about me."

"Fine you were right I was wrong."

"I had no idea."

Even with her teasing attitude, her grin made it impossible to feel annoyed. It was rather endearing at most.

Through the entire day, the two would simply enjoy themselves; at least to the best of their ability. Minus the occasional accusations of being a large animal and Bive’s suspicion about some of the games that operated within the dinner, it was an enjoyable experience!

Plus Split’s plan had worked.

The detective was so worried about what was happening in the moment, she had completely forgotten of her special brew. It had worked flawlessly. Not to mention Bive had gained a few extra theories in the process. It was a win-win situation for the both of them.

For now at least..

RAHHH RAHH RAHG RAHH RAHHHH IT’S FINISHED OH MY GOD I HOPE YOU ENJOY EAT UP MY SILLIES <3

Momo: Good morning! Hnn… It’s pretty cold…. 

Filming Staff: Good morning, Momo-san! I’m sorry for having to leave so early in the morning… or rather, I should say late at night. 

Staff: Once the bus leaves, you’re free to rest until we get to the location. 

Momo: No worries! I’m sure you’re sleepy too, right? Since we want to catch the sunrise while filming~. 

Okarin: Momo-kun, good morning! 

Momo: Morning, Okarin! ….. Huh? Where’s Yuki? He’s not with you? 

Okarin: So Yuki-kun isn't here yet. 

Okarin: We have some time before we leave. Maybe he’s getting ready in the room? 

Momo: Yeah. Probably…. 

Momo: ……

--flashback--

Staff: Many fans are looking forward to seeing shots of Re:vale’s closeness! (1) 

--back to present-- 

Momo: ……

Momo: Sorry, Okarin! I think I left something in my room– 

Yuki: Morning.

Momo: Ah! Yuki! 

Okarin: Speak of the devil! Good morning, Yuki-kun. 

Momo: I’m glad….. Did it take you longer to get ready? 

Yuki: …… Yeah, kinda. 

Yuki: ‘Cause I went to Momo’s room. 

Momo: Huh, my room? Why? 

Yuki: …. I thought you might’ve overslept. 

Momo: Eh? Really?!  I mean…. Actually, I was about to head to your room, too. 

Momo: I wanted to talk to you for a bit before the shoot. 

Yuki: You too? 

Momo: Huh? Me….too? 

Yuki: Oh……..

…….. 

Momo: Pft– Hahah! Yeah! I wanted to talk to you too!

Yuki: …..Haha. I see. 

Yuki: I didn’t want it to stay like this even though we’re filming overseas.  

Yuki: I want to take pictures with you too. 

Momo: Yuki…..

Momo: …. Yeah, same! I’m sorry for being so stubborn yesterday over something so petty. 

Yuki: It’s okay. Wanna shake hands to make up? 

Momo: I do! 

Yuki: ….! Haha, with both hands. 

Momo: I’m really, really sorry! If you want, I can do even more? 

Yuki: Fufu… It’s too much, isn’t it? 

Yuki: ….. Let’s have a good photoshoot, Momo. 

Momo: Yeah, we’ll do our best! 

——

Staff: Cut! Looks good! We’ll take a break! 

Momo: Nice job, Yuki! They got a lot of good pictures, right? 

Yuki: Yeah. 

Yuki: I feel like I’m in heaven surrounded by these lotus flowers. 

Momo: Hahah, I guess so. The way the morning sun sparkles on the reflection of the water’s surface is so magical! 

Yuki: Momo, look. The sun is rising. 

Momo: Whoa… it’s amazing. A sight like this is rare….. 

Momo: If there really is a paradise, I feel like it would look like this! 

Yuki: The lotus flowers are in full bloom. 

Momo: Look over there! One white flower is blooming. 

Yuki: It’s true. It’s as white as snow. (2) 

Momo: “Yuki”? Like your name? (2) 

Yuki: Ah. A play on words…? 

Momo: It’s punny! ….But, isn’t the only white one lonely? 

Yuki: It’s not lonely. It’s surrounded by peach-colored flowers. (3) 

Yuki: …… Pun-intended. 

Momo: The punny Yuki is also handsome… ! 

Momo: Anyways…. When you’re surrounded by such beautiful scenery, the little things don’t matter.~

Yuki: Like little fights? 

Momo: Right. Like a little lozenge. 

Momo: By the way, you don’t have to worry about fights on the way home, we have plenty of coconut candies! 

Yuki: That candy is too sweet…… But, it’s not bad to have fights like this from time to time to sort out various things. 

Momo: Huh? Don’t you get upset when we fight? 

Yuki: Pissed. 

Momo: Hahah! Yeah, I know. 

Yuki: But, they say the more you fight the closer you are. 

Momo: That may be true. When we first met, I never imagined I’d fight like this with you, Yuki. 

Yuki: That goes to show how deep our bond has become. 

Momo: Yuki….! 

Yuki: I mean, without Momo I may not have even been able to retain my human form. 

Momo: Huh? 

Yuki: I can’t get up in the morning, and I don’t get much sun. 

Momo: You sound like a vampire again! But a monstrous Yuki is also super handsome! 

Momo: I mean, even I can’t live without Yuki. You’ve already won my stomach. (4) 

Momo: The hamburger you made before was the best in the world! 

Yuki: Really? Then, next time I’ll make hamburger curry with some Thai spices. 

Momo: Yay! I really like Thai curry too! 

Momo: I’ll have to buy some spices as a souvenir! 

Yuki: Fufu. Sure thing. 

Momo: Alright! Let’s give the rest of the shoot our best! 

Yuki: Right. 

[End of Rabbitv]

TL Notes:

1. Flashback from part 2. 

2. Yuki means snow. So Momo points out that the color of the flower is “snow” like Yuki’s name as a play on words. 

3. Momo can also mean peaches. So Yuki is doing a play on words here with Momo’s name now. 

4. I don’t really know how to phrase this, but I believe this is just referencing Yuki cooking for Momo. Like how they say “a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” sort of thing. So this is a bit of a liberal translation as a literal translation would probably sound weird.

*Comes speeding over*

YOU CALLED?

Brah love the art. Honestly gotta say I'm a big fan truly. Your AUs are some of my favorites! Though I'm guilty of being here to ask about the Rise into the Spiderverse Raph venom and his brothers.

Idk very much about the au fandom myself tbh. Though what are your thoughts on it? Would they still be the Mad Dog Group or possible frenemies? Considering straight off the bat that Venom and Spiderman are actual enemies in the comics/cartoons. Soooo Spider Mikey and Venom Raph are they still brothers or has Venom affected Raph's psychie at all making him go Savage Raph and go on a rampage? Also! I had suggested Deadpool Leo and Doc Octo Donnie for the Spiderverse AU because honestly I felt those two fitted the twins fairly well.

Donnie with his tech and the whole mechanical limbs bit felt perfect considering his battle shell in the show already has a pair. Also the fact that I swear to God Donatello is like on the verge of being a mad scientist anyways half the time(majority of the time). Nuclear Power!!!

Leo who -my god dude stop trying to get yourself killed- already has danced on the lines of life and death -multiple times- would be perfect for Deadpool aside from the overall similarities in personalities and that damn punny humor. Also the fact that Deadpool uses katanas, Leo uses an odachi(though to be fair in the other TMNT verses Leo's primary weapons are always katanas).

Anyways—

Let me know what you think! Do you think that would be the case for Leo and Donnie in the ROSTV!

Thank you for listening to my rambling and I hope you have a great day.

GDKFJJF gonna start off by saying Donnie IS Doc Ock! At least in Spider Mikey's world. I have a post showing off his concept design and talking about him in the AU tag if you'd like to see it :) (I'd link it myself but I'm at work gdjfjsf)

I also said this in another ask that I could make Leo Deadpool in a timeline variant, but I'll probably keep him pretty normal in the base/main timeline (that being Spider Mikey).

The turtles are still brothers and are very close. They wouldn't really know each others identities, so at first, it wouldn't effect their relationships. (This does not apply to Doc Donnie. Everyone knows it's him hdjfjdj not that hard to know when he's not concealing his face.)

I'd say that like. Half the time that Venom takes over, Raph is in a similar state to his Savage Mode™️. But he doesn't have much control over their body at that point anyway, so all it does is align their "destroy break smash kill" mentalities.

I see a fight between Spider Mikey and Venom Raph in my head, where VR has no idea that Spider-Man is Mikey. Even to the bitter end... (Wink wink Venom kills Spider-Man and then takes off his mask and Raph has to grapple with the fact that he killed his little brother haha so silly)
