fanfiction wip game: heart 🥰

Thank you! 🥰

SOMEHOW despite the fact that I feel like I use the word "heart," if anything, *way* too much, I couldn't find it in a single one of my actual fanfiction WIPs. But it does show up in a few of the fake fanfics I'm writing for Dead Storage, so I'm gonna pretend that counts.

From my "artist AU" wip:

She couldn’t say it to Olivia when she was barely able to admit it in the privacy of her own heart.

From my "legally-distinct-buzzfeed-unsolved AU" wip

She didn’t seem to be taking the “relax” advice very much to heart, but, judging by how she’d acted during the Q&A, Claire had to concede that she might well be following the “be yourself” part.

From my "Gothic AU" wip:

As it was, her heart quailed at the sight, and her stomach gave a nauseous lurch of dread, but she ignored them both, because ghosts weren’t real, and neither were bad omens, but unemployment was.

and

Ariadne tried to pay close attention to the route they took as she followed Claire to the drawing room, and she was forced to conclude that Marlowe House was built by someone with an incredible eye for aesthetics and an abysmal eye for architectural design. More than that – they seemed to hold true contempt in their heart for the idea of a straightforward, traversable floor plan.

and

Ariadne did her best to ignore the noise and focus on her book, but that was not an easy task. It was a dreary little romance, all long looks and stolen glances that might have been affecting if the two leads weren’t so bland, and it must have been the third or fourth time she read the phrase, Eloise’s heart fluttered, that Ariadne’s eyes began to glaze over.

(Yes I am calling myself out in that excerpt. I gotta stop having people's hearts flutter it's probably a bad sign for their cardiovascular health)

And finally, from my "Fake Dating (also Margot and James are alive) AU" wip, there's:

She spent most of the morning in the gift shop with Sunil and Ezra, but when they struck up their unique method of flirting – namely, Ezra talking at length about the history of doorknobs while Sunil gazed at him with hearts in his eyes and occasionally reassured him that no, this was fascinating, keep going – she couldn’t help but feel like a third wheel. She excused herself to the lobby, and the other two hardly seemed to notice she was leaving, as Ezra had just gotten started on skeleton keys, and that was, apparently, where things got really interesting.' Claire was happy for them. She did wish one of them would make a move so that they could get past the talking-about-doorknobs stage, but she was happy for them.

My take on the ever popular Detective Conan AU where Shinichi and Conan are seperate people.

This was supposed to be a shitpost but painting this was so genuinely healing for me that I decided not to add the bottom text

Original meme it's based on + closeups shots under the cut:

The solver is gone (?) They put Bizcuit in a normal worker body. They really didn’t expect him to grow sharp teeth or a tail. He doesn't need to drink oil to live but that won't stop him from trying. (cw: vomiting)

(I actually drew most of this before episode 7, but I felt like cleaning it up a bit and posting it now)

FOOL MASK (GITM BY @venomous-qwille)

Handbuilt porcelain with slip, overglaze, glaze, and gold lustre accents. Paint and lacquer detailing added post fire. Handsewn fool's cap and bells added post fire.

This mask is a part of a (loosely connected) mask series, all hand-built and fired using a range of different temperatures and techniques.

My favourite mask to date, Fool from Ghost in the Machine by the wonderful @venomous-qwille !! GITM is absolutely incredible and I cannot put into words eloquently how much I adore it and Fool so instead I made this mask! Hi!

My word was this mask a struggle to make. The mask itself is entirely one piece, and entirely porcelain!! That's right, those long thin rays are solid porcelain!! The eyes and tips of the blades are done in 22 carat gold lustre. All colouring save for the black and the satin sections of darker red on the face were done with only slips and underglazes. The red colour was correct without the paint, but I thought a contrast from the rest of the gloss would look nice :)

Made to scale, the mask measures 50.8x60.96cm without the hat, and 50.8x116.84cm with it! (20x24in without hat, 20x46in including hat). He is Large, but turned out absolutely lovely and I send my many many thanks to the kiln gods for producing him unscathed.

(naku & wall for scale)

(he's so big guys i have large walls (the top of my head is only slightly above the top of the bookcase beneath him) look at him at the wall it's nuts)

I was eating sweet potatoes, salmon, and lettuce 3 times a day for 9 months. And that’s it. You know, sometimes cubed, sometimes in a strip of salmon, but that was it. That was tough.

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?

Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.

So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!

Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.

Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

so in the book of bill there's a part where he gets a bunch of old ladies to make like, precious moments-style figurines of him called The Tri Angels Collection by PudgyLilDarlins, and I was immediately super amused and charmed by this one --

which I was then Compelled to recreate, out of model magic

wow more chimera riza !!!!!!!!!!!!! since riza "dies" not long after ishval the elrics don't meet her. so they learn about her when finding a picture in roy's stuff. hughes ends up being the one telling the elrics about riza (i think he'd convince roy to tell him about why her death affects roy so much, so hughes knows about the tattoo and stuff) before the elrics end up coming across chimera riza at devil's nest.

i usually completely ignore the elrics in these kinda aus❤️ but in this one it's thanks to them royai get to meet again. i don't care about roy and elrics interacting at all but in this au specifically i think it's cute if they bond over caring for riza after she's rescued
