Fic Recs July '23
What did I read this month? Aufest released, and I made it through the end of Extreme timed exchange, and there have been some WONDERFUL ones. Not entirely DSMP, even though I am Still That Way, but yeah, it's still a lot of Emduo. I Am Who I Am. And we have some TNTduo and QSMP in there too!

I am a sucker for Post-Apocolyptic QSMP, and this is a really good one focusing on Wil and Tallulah. We get a glimpse at a whole swath of the cast, but the core is the wil and tallulah relationship, and it's wonderful. And COOL WEIRD MAGIC APOCALYPSE.

Slimariana are professors! And nemesis's! And their students know they hate each other! And also they are married and love each other! What's gonna happen when the truth comes out? This was just full of adorable bickering and family moments and I loved it.

I have loved what I've seen of Etoiles on QSMP, and this is absolutely fantastic Etoiles writing, in a series of 8 vinettes focusing on his relationship with other people. Wonderful characterization and writing, this is so good.

Oh man like, mind the tags, this one is gonna make you weep into your tea, but also, oh BOY it's so good. I just wrote 27 of dehumanized human weapon recovery so you know I like it, and Second is doing the same thing, except SAD. But every time Three want something or has opinions or is sarcastic I cheer wildly for its recovery, and AHHH I love it. I love the whole group. What a wonderful group. I wish them so well. The ending is gonna have me crying on main probably. It's still updating, but it's in daily updates, so it's gonna finish soon! I keep being told that it's gonna destroy me so I'm PREPPED. And it was part of the big bang so there's art too!

So this is a Bojack Horseman AU for TNTduo I think? I never watched Bojack so I'm not sure, but like. Put that warning on the top. It's just SUCH a good tntduo character study. Do I think this is going to end well? No idea. Am I along for the ride while Wil drives his life off the road? Absolutely.

Okay so if you're over 18 and you like TNTduo you should read this fic so so so hard. It's so good. I can't talk about the structure without spoilers but the structure is SO well done there's flips in it that make me go insane. The way the whole thing pays out is incredible. The characterization is top-notch. Like, note the tags, it's not a happy ending, but it's an ending that hits like a fucking hammer. And there's BALLER art and web weaves attached.

Tommy is a vegan necromancer— he can only work with plants. And this wouldn't be a problem, except necromancers are in short supply, and he just got kidnapped by a freaky cult, who wants him to ressurect their god? oh no.

For the character meme: Techno, OSMP!Ranboo, Tubbo.
Techno
Sexuality Headcanon: i don't headcanon character's sexualities with much seriousness, but techno i generally see as somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum
Gender Headcanon: i don't think he's too bothered by it. i like seeing all the different headcanons for him and i think the "aro, ace, agender, anarchist, adhd" thing is funny
A ship I have with said character: techno slash clout lmao. no actual shipping here no thank u
A BROTP I have with said character: techno n phil :] my emduo lads they r the best of friends 4ever n ever
A NOTP I have with said character: this is not a safe place for techno and dream friendship enjoyers /hj but seriously i am not a fan of rivalsduo "friendship" on dsmp it makes no sense to me for a number of reasons i won't go into on this ask haha
A random headcanon: when he gets home from long journeys, as soon as he's unaware steve will just flop over him and trap him to the ground for a bit until he can push his emotional support polar bear off. also sometimes he play wrestles with his polar bears and dogs for fun.
General Opinion over said character: what an incredible lad. i miss technoblade.
OSMP!Ranboo
Sexuality Headcanon: i don't think he's built enough relationships on this server to try and determine that, so i have no clue
Gender Headcanon: see while i can't determine a sexuality for the guy i can say with certainty he's not cis. i don't know what he is but he's not that.
A ship I have with said character: nah
A BROTP I have with said character: osmp ranboo and the nether roof amiright . amiright.
A NOTP I have with said character: osmp ranboo and the nether roof again this bitch needs to learn how to share
A random headcanon: osmp!ranboo will just stare at you. where more enderman can't be looked at in the eyes, as long as ranboo is the one to establish eye contact he will not stop looking at you. he will not blink.
General Opinion over said character: stinky little scrunkly. im excited to see what new shenanigans he gets up to. i want him to be a little bastard evil guy and cause problems.
Tubbo
Sexuality Headcanon: squints. that snowchester flag lookin a little...... anyways. idk i don't think abt this stuff too much tbh haha
Gender Headcanon: eh i have always seen him as cis. i think other headcanons of him r valid as hell tho
A ship I have with said character: nahhh, i don't see c!beeduo romantically so, i've got nothin
A BROTP I have with said character: now, beeduo would fit here, but i've been following c!clingyduo since last fuckin august and im too attached to those little shits and their complicated friendship over the last year
A NOTP I have with said character: anything that breaks tubbo's boundaries l o l
A random headcanon: tubbo has constant tremors in his hands that he's worked to overcome since the festival. when he was making nukes, he could keep them steady for that, but because of the sleep deprivation and etc his hands shook horribly any time he wasn't working (so he kept working)
General Opinion over said character: i love how he refuses to process emotions like yes king stuff those feelings down inside your chest get it king
[[send me a character!]]
