What started as out of context passages I saw during my shift yesterday has become me drawing one of the most campiest apocalyptic characters ever. Fluffy McTeague from Rot and Ruin

For those who have actually read it I’m sure the story makes sense but from my snippets it was wild. So hello rot and ruin community, yes all four of you guys! (/joking)

Here were the passages about him that I saw

Other notable things that caught my eye were

- the names, Dr McReady and Saint John of the knife

- ‘monkey-banger’ no context and I’m scared to know

Also here’s a less grimey version of Fluffy aswell as the inspo board I made for him

Also thanks so much to @massiveladycat for the help and discussion about Rot and Ruin!

I could write essays about Cheng Xiaoshi’s hand on Lu Guang’s shoulder here. Just that alone, I could write thousands of words about. Because the moment immediately before this—

—is Cheng Xiaoshi taking a swing at Lu Guang. Because he’s hurt, because he feels betrayed, because he just went through something traumatic in that moment that also triggered traumas from his past and Lu Guang knowingly led him into that situation. Yes, Lu Guang tried to encourage him to leave the photo several times before it got too bad and no, he didn’t have bad intentions. But at the end of the day, he lied by omission and Cheng Xiaoshi stayed in the photo without the full picture of what he was being led into. So, he’s not wrong for taking a swing at Lu Guang. But at the end of the day, Lu Guang isn’t wrong for what he did, either. He was protecting the past the way he had to, being the voice of reason and rule that is his agreed upon role in their dynamic.

And that’s what Cheng Xiaoshi’s hand on Lu Guang’s shoulder means. It means that he recognizes this, that he doesn’t actually fault Lu Guang for what he did, he’s just hurting. It’s one thing for Lu Guang to reach out to Cheng Xiaoshi to comfort him after what happened, it’s another thing for Cheng Xiaoshi to reach back.

On one hand, it’s Cheng Xiaoshi accepting the silent apology and the comfort being offered to him. It’s him letting his walls down and letting Lu Guang in. It’s him being vulnerable and broken and trusting Lu Guang to hold him together. It’s his wordless admittance that he knows that Lu Guang was only doing what he had to do.

On the other hand, it’s Cheng Xiaoshi comforting Lu Guang in return. He knows that Lu Guang would never want to hurt him, that he feels terrible for putting Cheng Xiaoshi in that position, even if he had to. It’s his way of assuring Lu Guang that he’s here, that he’s not pulling away because he’s hurt and he’s not laying blame.

Their hands form a bridge to each other, both of them reaching for each other to both provide and receive comfort. It’s a visual representation of them meeting in the middle, of them acknowledging that the situation sucks, even if that’s the way it had to be. It’s them understanding each other in a way nobody else can, sharing a bond and a desire to protect each other above all else.

Cheng Xiaoshi wasn’t wrong to swing at Lu Guang, and I wouldn’t have blamed him if he didn’t reach back. But he did. Because Lu Guang is too important to him— more important to him than his own feelings here. And it was important to him to show Lu Guang that, and to let him know that he understands.

Crashing out, why do I always get attached to books or shows of movies with no fandom, hello?

Like I have a few things I love, with no discord servers and hardly any posts about it

To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee

Rot and ruin (the full collection) by Jonathan Maberry

The sea beast, the Netflix movie

And for now, that's literally all, and I'm crashing out.

[yuukirita]

So about Killing B-127

Imma be honest- actually no one told me NOT to do this.

https://www.tumblr.com/yuukirita/764457936468754432/two-bumblebees?source=share (the og post were I talked about this)

So imma do it- HOWEVER. It won't be in the main DeceptiBee au. I might not even write it. But I will DRAW IT. Probably.

You can keep reading the DeceptiBee au and be assured that Bee won't die- but when that fic is done I might do an alternate ending with it where Bee does die- like a series.

But i'll write it in a way You don't need to read the previous fic to understand what's happening. That first chapter is gonna recap and compress the story and it won't reff the previous fic other than 'Bee was a decepticon who died'

I guess that Au would be called 'SecondBee au' or 'TwoBees au' since theres another one. idk i'm bad at names.

So about this Au, it's in the tfone continuity. Where Bee choose to follow megatron when he got banished. He died. War raged on and then another Bee is forged right before Primus peaces out. And then a lot of bad things happen to him C:

I don't remember which continuity Tfone is attached to (it can't be the bayverse don't lie to yourself) but Imma say that the endgame to this is Earthspark (because it's the happiest ending we're getting so far) so I might even write to that part because since new bee and megatron are on the same side now I smell some good sad times.

What do we think? does any of this make sense to yous?

Does this make you exited? Dreadful? Tired?

If you stumble upon this and you want to make your own- feel free (and give me the fragging link so I can read it) Bee doesn't even need to be a decepticon before he dies. Endless possibilities.

P.S. no telling when I'll be making content for that Au cuz I'm working on deceptibee rn- Next chapter is out tomorrow. hug hug

P.P.S. Just a small- SMALL look at what this au could be

Megatron could not believe his optics. In front of him, on the screen, stood a scout, painted yellow, with horns, an autobot logo were a deceipticon brand should be. The same, the same, optics he'd seen fade in front of his very own. He'd been caught on camera and Shockwave had given him the footage.

"He. Replaced. Him." His servos balled into fists "Another usurper." When would Primus cease taking his fallen friends and produce failed facsimiles to torture him with? After all this time...

It only justified his actions further. He would not be deceived.

Benny:

What if the zombie story was about respecting zombies as human remnants? What if the zombie story was about how senseless killing was still bad even if it was zombies being tortured and killed? What if the zombie story was about how the real monsters are humans, but the zombies are still dangerous?

i'm going kill you, if you don't beat me to it (l.g x l.c)

Lilah leaves Mountainside in the dead of night. She doesn't like it there. The people are too friendly, too much. Sometimes, she can't distinguish threats from compliments, and can't help but feel that the meaningless questions they ask her are because they want to hurt her.

That's what happened to George. The reason she lost him and Annie. She wanted to leave a note for Benny or Nix, to let them know she was safe. It doesn't happen. She tries to remind herself that she doesn't care about them. In her gut, deep and violent, she wants to turn back.

She doesn't get very far, just into the tree lining, when a twig snaps behind her. Lilah, on instinct, has her knife out, practically throwing herself at the man behind her, pinning him down with the blade against his throat, and straddling his waist. "You're leaving?" He asked, his voice sounding far too hurt. It's Chong. He must've seen her. He didn't beg for his life like the others she killed had, and didn't even try to fight it. There was no fear in his eyes, only accusation.

Lilah can't remember the time that anyone had spoken to her in that way since she lost Annie. With affection. With love.

She buried the feeling deep down, where she'd never be able to reach. Love didn't help you survive in the Ruin. In the Ruin, love was a weakness. George would be alive if he didn't love her and her sister like they were his own.

Lilah stands far too quickly for it to be natural. "Go home, Chong. You'll die out here,"

"Did something happen?" He says, standing, and brushing leaves and dirt off his pants. "I can help it,"

"You can't," Lilah snapped. Her chest burned with years of hatred, anger, and fear coming up. Her eyes threatened to water. "You can't help me,"

"I'll tell Tom," Chong threatened. As if that did anything. Since he rejected her, he's been avoiding her. "I'll be gone by then,"

"Then I'm coming with you," He says.

This time, Lilah doesn't argue.
