super fun commission for @temporalreplicsimile of his character CuddleBot! theyre so cute i can hardly stand it 💖🌻💕

[treeprince]

this or that ask game!

hm hm haven't done one of these in a long time. got tagged by @callmearcturus, thanks sis

coffee shop or flower shop (i'm a big lover of both but coffee shops will always win out for me)

au or fix-it (i love a good fix-it dont get me wrong but put those fucking characters in a situation please i want to see what they do. i am picking you up like barbies and dropping you into volcanoes to see what happens)

enemies to lovers or childhood friends (dune 1984 voice: the spice)

angst or fluff (ANNNNNGGGGGST. see previous statements about situations and spice)

modern au or historical au (modern au's are fun but damn, gimme that period piece. show me what rabbit hole you've fallen into when researching how to properly court someone in 1658 russia. tell me more about imperial court culture :chinhands:)

soulmates or unrequited (here's looking at you every red thread fic in my bookmarks, particularly the ones where they are desperately trying NOT to be soulmates)

break up & make up or proposal & weddings (i love the idea of coming back after the end of a chapter in your life and saying "actually i didn't do it right the first time, can we try again, try again, try again")

get together or established relationship (GIMME THAT FAKE DATING AU ALL DAY LONG. WE ARE FUCKING NASTY AND PINING HARDER THAN EVER. MARRIED AND WASTING AWAY FROM JEALOUSY. NAKED IN FLESH BUT NOT IN SPIRIT)

oblivious pining or domestic fluff (see previous statement OKAY BUT HONESTLY, you can have both cakes here. we are pining and living together. omg they were roommates/betrothed/fiances/coworkers/enemies etc. it's about not communicating your true feelings to prevent meaningful changes in your lives that COULD benefit you, but could also hurt so so so much. it's about the risk not being taken but also not letting go of what you have with a veracity that bites down like a dog on their preys neck)

H/C or crack (i honestly can't choose bc i love a good crack fic but also most of the crack fics i like treat it V seriously so they turn right back into sincerity, and tend do roam in the h/c categories anyway)

meet the parents or meet cute (meet me in the parking lot of denny's at 3 am for a pounding. no i will not elaborate)

oh this was fun as hell actually, thank u for coming to my ted talk tagging @napalmstrikebarbie @missmeowzers @temporalreplicsimile @nerd-bastard @muckkles and anyone else who'd like to join in

[ilovedthestars]

a trick or treat for @cellarwhales, who was having mysterious technical difficulties with my inbox

you asked for something hopeful or cathartic, so i am going to share some snips from the slightly angsty but mostly soft fic that i wrote after backreading the Murderbot has a Murdercat thread on discord. this wip was inspired by the excellent fic a hero to me by kiore ( @temporalreplicsimile ) and it's really not that far from being finished, but i stalled out on looking thru the books to find some quotes to tie the various snips i wrote into canon scenes.....i should go do that so i can post this!

these snips are scenes from ASR (starting immediately after the rogue discovery scene), but if Murderbot had a cat. because it deserves one.

A small, furry fauna streaked out of the corner and attacked my feet with its tiny claws. I was so relieved to see it that I didn’t even think before I bent down and lifted it off the floor. It shoved its head into the crook of my elbow and I had to pull my arms close to my body to keep from dropping it. It burrowed its face into my shirt and started to vibrate softly. I realized that all the humans were staring at me. Ratthi said, “Oh, is it yours?” I just stood there, trying frantically to think of a lie or an excuse that would explain why this small fauna had attached itself to me. Anything that wouldn’t lead to it being taken away. Arada said, “It came running out of the cubicle when we opened it, and wouldn’t come back. We weren’t sure how a cat got in with us, but if you brought it with you, that explains that.” Volescu said, “Is that…allowed? For SecUnits to have pets?” I tensed, and clutched the fauna a little closer to myself. Gurathin was frowning at the fauna in my arms. “It can’t possibly be allowed. It must have been hiding the cat, too. I suppose if it was rogue, it could have managed to sneak it in.” He put a little too much emphasis on the word rogue, and Mensah shot him a look. “SecUnit, I would like you to remain part of our group, at least until we get off this planet and back to a place of safety. At that point, we can discuss what you’d like to do. But I swear to you, I won’t tell the company, or anyone outside this room, anything about you or the broken module.” She considered the fauna, and added, “Or the cat.”

---

When we left for the rendezvous site, I left the fauna with the big hopper. I didn’t like it, but it wasn’t like bringing a fauna to a hostile negotiation was going to help anyone. It tried to follow me to the little hopper with Mensah. I picked it up and carried it back. “Stay here.” It knew to stay when I told it to stay. If it hadn’t figured that out quickly, it wouldn’t have lasted very long. It was a smart fauna. It tucked itself underneath one of the big hopper’s seats, almost out of sight, and stayed quiet. “Good fauna,” I told it. If everything went to shit, I hoped it would find a way to survive.

---

I was hovering on the edge of a system failure. I had flashes, off and on. The inside of the little hopper, my humans talking, something soft pushing against my hand. I felt the scrabble of tiny claws. It was my fauna. It was bumping my hand with its head and making tiny whimpering sounds. I didn’t want it to be scared, but my hand wouldn’t move to stroke it. Then being in the big hopper, as it was lifting up. I could tell from the drive noise, the flashes of the feed, that the pick-up transport was bringing it on board. The fauna licked my fingers. That meant the humans hadn’t left it behind.

There are only two people who I consider my brothers, and you are one of them. It's very strange for me as someone who grew up very isolated, both as an only child and as the product of a very strange matrilineal household. There have only been... three or four major male figures in my life, and three of them hurt me deeply in a way that definitely left a mark.

I know you and a few others gave me shit for belatedly realizing I was trying to explore and rehabilitate my own understanding of masculinity through my writing in the past, like, 2 to 4 years? But it was very important to me, and continues to be because of... people like you. And it is strange to have someone in your life who makes you feel so comfortable and settled that you feel the need to re-examine a huge part of your perception, feel the need to become better in response.

Yeah, so, I love you. What else is new? Sorry I'm bad at saying it. Old traumas have knives.

@temporalreplicsimile @andrastesassets @autism-georg @yiffterrorist

Found this on Twitter, so I thought, why not posting it here and doing a tag game 😊

Ok, I’ll go first

If he is the reason, I’d go to prison gladly 🥰❤️‍🔥

12 for the ask meme, specifically to get you to rant about Morgana :3

BRUHHHHHHH MORGANA IS ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTER MAYBE IN PERSONA, I am willing to fucking DISCOURSE, i will WHITE KNIGHT morgana. if morgana has 100 fans, I am one of them, if morgana has no fans I am dead etc etc

literally has never done anything wrong in his life. one of the biggest criticisms about him, that he's just another Token Persona Horndog but like I will lay down and die on the sword that Morgana genuinely loves Ann. It's not reciprocated, but she love Morgana! she shows it all the time and he does the same, he respects her, it's not a horndog thing or the ENTIRE yusuke thing would have been like Yosuke's Joker Moment all over again, POINT BEING the comparison is spurious

the nature of Morgana's grand mystery, his quest for selfhood, the way he struggles are genuinely powerful. I REALLY CARED about Morgana's origins, and they didn't fucking disappoint!

morgana was right and ryuji was a fucking asshole, and the fact ryuji did not apologize to morgana literally nuked his likeability permanently.

MORGANA IS A KITTY CAT WHO SLEEPS IN YOUR DESK AND RIDES AROUND IN YOUR BAG

in the end, Persona 5 is about a boy and his cat. a a boy who is also a cat. so maybe its about a cat and his cat? is morgana the boy? hm.
