#happy dincobb day

[thefrogdalorian]

I love how Din and Cobb's first encounter is clearly supposed to be a tense standoff between two space cowboys because there's only meant to be room for one of them in this town, so we as the audience are meant to be on the edge of our seats, worried for Din and wondering who's going to shoot first... but instead everyone collectively decided that moment was full of homosexual tension and they should just kiss instead.

Happy Valentine's Day?

No, no, happy 1 year anniversary of this:

Hello lovely!

I saw your reblog of @for-a-longlongtime‘s poll about queer Pedro boy fic and I was wondering if you have any fics that you particularly enjoy that you could recommend?

Hello friend!!

Sorry I took so long to answer this, but I wanted to have the time to be as thorough as possible because this is an AWESOME question! Thank you for asking me!!

I also want to preface this by saying I haven't had a TON of time to read as many fics as I want to, so if anyone wants to reblog this with more queer Pedro boy fics I would love that!

For now, here are the ones I've read and loved:

Into the Beat of the Night by @perotovar has the sweetest Frankie I've ever read and a badass non-binary OC named River. Their dynamic is so fun but so deeply caring and I CANNOT get enough of them. Their banter is always adorable, and there's a really good balance between fluff, smut, and light angst so far and I'm sooooo looking forward to the next chapter.

baby, i'm-a want you by @perotovar AGAIN they just won't quit with the incredible queer Pedro boy fics. Gay pornstar Javi P and Joel, shy Joel with a crush, all the PPCU boys do porn together, what more could you want???

Maverick by @for-a-longlongtime and its sequels. Of COURSE I can't make this post without gushing over this Tim Rockford x Marcus Pike x Frankie Morales series. Oh my god. It's so hot it will melt you, but also so sweet, and I look forward to updates like it's Christmas eve.

Sharing the Same Roots by @multifandomhoodies over on AO3. I'm not sure if they've cross-posted it here on Tumblr, but this was one of the first Pedro boy fics I ever read and I think about it a million times a day I think. t4t DinCobb set in WEST VIRGINIA!?! Mind was instantly blown, as I lived there for the first 21 years of my life. It paints such a serene, beautiful picture of a slow, happy, queer Appalachian existence that it makes me tear up. Super hot, super well-written, and Grogu is a fellow WVU Mountaineer which makes me chuckle. I wonder how many couches he's burned.

Catalyst by @ezrasbirdie Last but CERTAINLY not least, a fic that I re-read before bed time an embarrassing amount of times because it is SO!!! GOOD!!!! Frankie and Joel are my favorite Pedro boys, and the exploration of their relationship with each other and reader is so incredible. The way the emotions are written so naturally and so raw blows my mind every time I read. And AGAIN shy, flustered Joel??? My beloved. But also absolute menace Joel flustering Frankie??? STOP IT!!!

This list is shorter than I want it to be, so if anyone has suggestions totally use this ask as a way to rec or self-promo your queer Pedro boy fics <333

I honestly don't know if any of you love AUs as much as i do. I love to try favorite pairing in different situations and places. I have thousands of ideas.

Too bad I'm suck at writing. But I figured it was worth a shot to write thrm down anyway.

I keep thinking about DinCobb Equilibrium AU. World controlled by Empire ruled by mysterious Emperror and his right hand Vice-Counsel Moff Gideon. Art in all forms is outlaw, emotions are illegal and restricted with drag called Prosium. A psychoactive drug Prozium II should be self-administered by all citizens to prevent this cause of human violence and hatred against each other.

Naturally, alongside erasing anger, fear, and sadness, it wipes away happiness and compassion. People become incapable of love or friendship. The only aim of their lives is blind servitude to the state. By claiming to end wars, the regime declares war on its people and their human nature. People experienced emotions called Sense Offenders and deckared are outlaw.

Din is a highly trained Mandalorian - a member of the special division of clad head to toe in armor Grammaton Clerics and ruthless bounty hunters, who haunts Sense Offenders. One day, he gets an order to find and retrieve a particular target - little boy with big broun eyes and rare gift of empathy. Boy can wake feelings in others even through drag blockade. Din and kid experience deep emotional episodes.

Din found a boy, brought him to a research facility as ordered, and got rewarded. He gets back to his quarters and keep dreaming about his parents' death - they were Senes Offenders and lived in the Nether. Parents were killed by Clerics raid, Din was only a child, so he was taken and raised in a monastery as a warrior and later became a Mandalorian.

Din couldn’t get a hold of his feelings even taking Prosium as usual. Next day he enquiries about a child and finds about execution order. Procedure is assigned for midnight.

At dawn Din break in research facility where child is held. He disarms or kills guards and breaks free with an unconscious child. They escapes through a sity wall to the Nether. Knowing that the whole devision of Mandalorians and Clerics would haunt them, Din aims to deep desert despite lack of provision and Prosium.

Delirious from dehydration and suffering from drag withdrawal, Din stumbles and falls unconscious on the edge of a ruined town. There is where Cobb finds him. Cobb is a self-appointed Marshall of hidden on ruins little town populated with escaped Sense Offenders and theirs free-born kids. Cobb nurses Din through Prosium without, takes care of kid and slowly falls in love with Din. Din is inexperienced with any emotions, with Marshall's help discovered whole new world. At some point, Din loses his armor..

But eventually, Mandalorians tracks down Din and a kid and discovers Freetown..

20 questions for fic authors!

I was tagged by the lovely @ugetelynx and @wisecrackingeric-2 <3 so sorry it took me so long to do this hfsgjhdj

1. How many works do you have? - currently posted on ao3 I have 57 works total. However I have almost twice as many wips it's bad

2. Ao3 word count? - 395,068 ..... I've got a wip that's almost over 100k but it's also been there for years so I doubt that'll change anytime soon

3. What fandoms do you write for? - of the fics I have on ao3, I have written for detroit become human, star wars, resident evil, assassin's creed, and the last kingdom. The fandoms I've written for that are not on my ao3 include lotr/the hobbit, bbc sherlock, bbc merlin, marvel, voltron legendary defender, percy jackson universe, and whatever the Carry On by rainbow rowell fandom is called. Most of those I will never ever write for again lmao

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? - In order:

Sapphire Moonlight (Tequila Sunrise) (Serennedy)

We Look So Good (Reed900)

Hold Fast, the Suns Will Rise (Stay) (Dincobb) (also, my first fic ever posted, and still the fic I hold most dearly in my heart to this day)

We Are Home (Hank and Connor family content)

Tomato Soup (Serennedy)

5. Do you respond to comments? - every single one. I'm obsessed with comments. I have them all saved and stored so I can reread them at any time. Thank you everyone who has ever commented I love you

6. What fic did you write the angstiest ending for? - I only write angst with a happy ending. But I did write You Should Have Killed Me for a friend's dbh x hunger games simulator result and it had an angsty ending by result of being a hunger games simulator.

7. What fic did you write the happiest ending for? - I write many fics w happy endings, but I personally think my fic series Din and Grogu | the Clan of Two Trilogy has the happiest ending because it happened against all odds. It's a fic about Din and Grogu's found family (before BoBF and Mando s3 came out, so it's not canon accurate) and it ends meaningfully to me.

8. Do you get hate on fics? - I have before, but it was all bullshit that showed me the person commenting didn't actually read what I wrote but chose to get mad at something that didn't exist. So it was discarded easily. Otherwise, I've had people try to tell me how to write things, but I ignore them all

9. Do you write smut? - yes. badly.

10. Crossovers? - I wrote a dincobb fic that was set in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, with Din as Kassandra and Cobb as Anais. I also started a serennedy fic set in the detroit: become human universe but never got anywhere close to finishing it.

11. Ever had a fic stolen? - not that I know of lol.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? - I had someone ask to translate one of my fics, and I said yes, but I don't think they've done so yet, which is fine. Other than that, no. But I'd be honoured!

13. Ever co-wrote a fic before? - I started a dincobb fic with a friend years ago but we never got around to finishing it. Someday I still hope to.

14. What's your all time favourite ship? - that's genuinely impossible to pick tbh I've had so many that rewired my brain. top three are probably bagginshield, simarkus, and shadowzel, not in any particular order.

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? - ehhhhh probably the klance fic I started when I was like 15. I don't go to voltron anymore and literally couldn't care less about it. In fact I actively hate it.

16. What are your writing strengths? - I've been told that I'm good at characterisation and plot. I think I suck at plot severely. As for characterisation, I study characters really hard and take a long time to write fics so they remain in character so I'm glad people appreciate that. I also prefer writing dialogue to anything else.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? - Writing. haha I mean exposition.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? I have before, I find it fun but also intimidating.

19. First fandom you wrote for? - The Hobbit :') my first ever fic was a bagginshield fic I started when I was 13. I still mean to finish it someday.

20. Favourite fic you've written? - *sighs* I guess I should say Another Time. It was the most fun to write, and everyone's responses have made all the difficulties of writing it endlessly worth it. It took me months but I'm so happy I finished it, and I'm working on p3 rn I PROMISE. But again the fic I hold most dearly in my heart is still Hold Fast, the Suns Will Rise (Stay)

[saltsprite]

For the ask game (you know I have to).

Ship It: DinCobb?

sorry i'm so slow TT^TT happy valentine's day?

Ship It

What made you ship it? -- every wave is tidal if you hang around by wolfhalls!!! It was my first taste of awkward old men who can't communicate, and it sealed the deal for me.

What are your favorite things about the ship? -- i just,,,, i love the idea of living a hard life and finding some softness, even just a little while; the idea that cobb wears the soul of din's kin, essentially, and in such a short time come to know him as an equal

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? -- VIRGIN COBB VANTH

[manofbeskar]

Happy Dincobb Day

[dancinghannigram]

oh fuck happy dincobb day

[kaijuscientists]

@feralrookie tagged me in this, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

115

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

303,945

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now it's mostly Trigun. I have a few ideas I wanna do for Mob Psycho and JJK though, so i'll probably try to get those in between trigun fic.

But in the past i have mostly written for Good omens, the mandalorian, the old guard, the sandman and detroit become human.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

It's the Tenderness of it All (Good Omens)

Bloodfeather (Good Omens)

One Long Weekend (Final Fantasy XV)

Every so often, history repeats (The Sandman)

Bad Day (Overwatch)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

In the past i have not been good a replying to comments, but that is something that I want to get better at! And i have been doing better!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Experimentation is a hurt no comfort old guard fic, and that's as close to an angsty ending as i'll ever get.

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

Most things i write end up with a happy ending tbh

8. Do you get hate on fic?

I’ve never gotten hate, per se. but I did once have someone copy my fic into a google doc, edit and change it to how they saw fit and then post a link to the gdoc in a comment on the fic.

9. Do you write smut?

A little bit!

10. Do you write crossovers?

I have written crossovers! I've got a lot of dincobb adjacent crossovers, and i have some good omens adajent as well, but that wasn't posted on my main.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

One of my Dincobb fics has been translated into Russian.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but depending on the story, ship and person, I could be open to collaborating on a fic.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

This is such a hard question honestly. I think i've written the most of dincobb, but it's hard to say they are my ultimate favorite

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but probably won't?

I started writing this dincobb meetugly fic, where Din accidentally hits Cobb with his car and is the only one to visit him in the hospital and they become friends and fall in love. But I don’t know if I’ll ever finished it :( the last season of Mando kinda soured me on the show. It’s nearly 5k so maybe one day I’ll get back to it.

or i'll rewrite it for a different ship.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I feel like i'm good at writing dialogue and i'm pretty good at getting a characters voice right.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I am just not good at writing any kind of complicated plots, I’m also not great at writing anything that’s not centered around hurt/comfort. I also feel like i'm weak when it comes to writing action.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

im indifferent.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I was writing digimon fanfiction before I even knew what fanfiction was.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

recently it's this one, written for whumtober

indulge me, just a little

it's short and sweet and i loved it a lot.

If you wanna do this, then go ahead!

BEACH DAY - Din can be happy Grogu gave him enough time to remove his boots before he decided they should get splashing in the water and hunt for snacks ^n^

This is my gift for @firstofficerwiggles through @starwarsfandomfests I really hope you'll like it, since I really enjoyed working on something so bright and wholesome ^^

I spent a frankly EMBARRASSING number of hours re-writing and editing the opening to this dincobb fic over the last few days. I'm still not 100% happy with every part of it, but it accomplishes most of the basic ideas, themes, and plot threads it needs to so that I can proceed to put them in Situations 😎

May I just say

what the hell sort of ecological niche is that, being a lizard that scurries up people’s noses and leads them on a mystic quest to find one of the few remaining trees on Tatooine and retrieve a branch to make into a personalised weapon as part of their coming of age or cultural initiation?

how do you evolve into that?

1) interpreting and translating alien languages in meetings and correspondence

2) listening to Boba Fett talk about his dreams

feel fairly strongly that Eddie is the sort to wrap at least one and preferably both legs around Steve at every opportunity

in contexts like: Steve hugs him, Eddie promptly climbs him like a tree and locks both legs round his waist

Steve sits next to him on the couch and Eddie immediately throws one leg over his thigh and/or hooks it round behind his calf

Steve gets tripped at least three times a day by Eddie sidling up and trying to do some awkward linking ankles thing he is worse than a cat

"Goddamnit, Eddie!"

"Two limbs just aren't enough to hold you with, dude. And till I can grow a prehensile tail, we've gotta make do."

happy for the people enjoying punk Steve lately and genuinely not criticising them, only expressing a different thought in parallel (I hate how saying "genuinely not criticising" can make it sound even more passive-aggressive but I'm genuinely genuinely not criticising! I'm not suggesting other people are liking my favourite character wrong that would be so douchey)

I just always like the idea that Steve isn't, like, repressing a secret desire to be unconventional and join some kind of counterculture and one day start showing his true, wilder self in his fashion and grooming choices

that the way he looks is literally just what he's like

you could give him total freedom of choice and tell him to go hog wild and he'd still be chumping around in polos and light-wash jeans

they're comfortable and he likes how he looks

he likes sports and cars and his favourite Star Wars movie remains the one with the teddy bears

any "unconventional" stuff he does is very subtle and minor like he was indeed wearing a touch of strawberry lip gloss in the summer of 1985 because he needed a little cheer-me-up and he felt like the blue uniform washed him out, he's a warm autumn for god's sake he shouldn't be wearing blue

he would get, like, one ear pierced and wear a small plain gold stud and he'd feel very special about it

Eddie: gradually filling up his whole skin with increasingly elaborate tattoos

Steve: got a little heart with "E+S" in it on his inside forearm where it's not conspicuous but he can take a look at it and smile to himself any time he wants

he's not holding back this is just what he needs (and he thinks Eddie's tattoos and hair and jewellery and et cetera et cetera are badass and beautiful)

My #1 post of 2022

I like to think of Steve relying on Eddie as his nerd interpreter when the conversation starts to get over his head. Instead of having to ask the kids what a lycanthrope is, he just kind of sidles over and gives a "???" look to Eddie who leans in and whispers a quick explanation without making him look dumb to everyone. This works great when the subjects under discussion are related to Eddie's hobbies and interests but sometimes they turn more academic, because these kids are science nerds as well as science fiction nerds, and when he "???"s at Eddie, Eddie whispers, "Super flattered you think I might know, but remember my grades are worse than yours." Then he takes the bullet for Steve by asking the dumb question out loud so he can hear the answer too.

On one occasion Lucas makes a sports analogy, Eddie looks baffled and doesn't even have time to look for Steve before he's whispering to him all excited because he can finally help him back.
