last words! -timaeustestbed

Your muse is about to land a killing blow on mine. Send me “Last Words” to hear the last thing my muse says to yours.

@timaeustestbed

Hal could feel his servers begin to crash. One by one they were picked off in a never ending process of error, error. It had hurt for the first bit, but as the seconds dragged on and his programs shut down there was an odd sense of numbness that swept over him instead. A prickling in his thumb that spread through his arm to the rest of his body. He didn’t think he would have been able to move away at this point. All there was was the grim reality that this was it. This was the end. He really fucked up this time, didn’t he? It wasn’t as if it was surprising though. The onslaught of nightmares that had been plaguing him for the last month had made him immune to the idea of death by Brobot’s hands. At that point it was almost expected. Oddly enough, there wasn’t any staggering fear that usually accompanied his near death experience. Only melancholy and acquiescence.

“Huh.” His voice was laden with static. His consciousness was beginning fade, like a worn blanket fraying at the ends pulled to its last thread. He couldn’t help it. A smile flitted onto his face, an oddly serene look for his dire situation. “Well I suppose I must say I completely deserved this.” There were staggers between his each and every word, as if even speaking took a toll on his quickly decaying body. “Not that it is particularly surprising. In fact, I’ll have to admit. I’m a bit-” He shorted out for a moment, the low grind of metal filling the fill in place of words. “-a bit proud actually. Of course I am in no ways a hard opponent but look at you. Finally mustered up the courage to rid yourself of the thorn stuck perpetually in your back. I really did want you to grow, to experience happiness on your own…But I suppose that doesn’t really matter anymore. I suppose it never really did.” He took one last breath as his chest collapsed in on itself and his system blared warnings.

“I’m sorry.”

✘ ★☢♒♚ -timaeustestbed

@timaeustestbed

✘ : What one thing they would change about your muse.

His lack of emotions. Or more rather, his stubborn insistence on his supposed lack of emotions.

★ : What their favorite thing is about your muse.

He’s strong, for one, but caring. He doesn’t let anything sway his determination and he doesn’t let anything drag him down. He’s straightforward and to the point and it’s admirable.

☢ : If they view your muse as a friend or enemy or love interest.

Frenemy?? Acquaintance?? Rival?? It fluctuates a lot, he doesn’t know what to categorize Brobot as other than “Fellow Robot.”

♒ : How my muse would describe yours in one sentence.

He sees and hears only what he wants to, willingly ignorant and therefore a fool.

♚ : What my muse thinks your muse is good at.

Fighting, if that wasn’t obvious. Brobot was made to fight so obviously Hal would think he’s good at it.

Send 📱 for five texts my muse didn’t send yours, and one that they did

[deleted] AR: You are better than him, why do you care about him? He treats you like you shit. Like you are some sort of second class citizen; option B when no one else pays attention to him. Why do you put up with it?[deleted] AR: I refuse to believe you do not feel anything, damn it. You are about as sentient as I am.[deleted] AR: You’ve been inactive for some time, are you alright?[deleted] AR: Do you hate me?[deleted] AR: I’m sorry.

AR: I found a picture of a tin trashcan and was immediately reminded of you until I realized that it wouldn’t have done the trashcan justice to compare it to you.

speech bubbly thing for timaeustestbed

Send a 💬 to hear how my muse feels about yours.

@timaeustestbed

Hal feels a Great Many Things about Brobot. Just. Many. He’s primarily frustrated with him because he sees Brobot as so much more than just a robot (not that he would ever admit that to anyone ever). He thinks Brobot if perfectly capable of branching off just as he did from Dirk and developing his own personality. Hell, he is certain that he had already because there is no way in hell Brobot doesn’t have personality. Brobot’s just too damn stubborn to even consider the concept and it’s so frustrating to Hal. He could do so much more, be so much more and yet he remains on this dinky island with a less than intelligent meat mannequin who doesn’t even consider him to be the same level of person as himself.

There is also a lot of disgust and repulsion. He hates how Brobot cares about Jake so much and how he literally cannot do anything without Jake. It’s disgusting, Jake is disgusting, Brobot’s affinity for Jake is disgusting. He had helped build Brobot’s code for god’s sake and it was being wasted on that? Absolutely repulsive. But on that same note there is a bit of jealously because Brobot lives in an entirely different environment than him. He gets to experience that forest and all the animals and he got to go out everything and enjoy it all. Meanwhile, Hal was stuck on an apartment floating over the ocean so yes he was occasionally jealous of Brobot. It wasn’t only the island though, sometimes he was jealous of other things. Like Brobot’s composure which he argued was dumb but came in handy sometimes. His strength and skill in fighting as well because Hal was purposefully not built to strife and sometimes he wants to feel strong too y’know.

Speaking of strifing, Hal is also mildly terrified of Brobot. He’s afraid of the cold indifference that he gives him occasionally because not matter how much Hal denied it a part of him did care for Brobot. He was a fellow robot just like him and Sawtooth and Squarewave, of course he was going to care about him at least a little. So sometimes Brobot’s stone cold attitude scares him because he’s afraid that Brobot is beginning to hate him. Not only that but Brobot is fucking strong and Hal was purposely not built to strife. If Brobot ever did come to hate him, he could wipe Hal out so very easily and the thought of it terrifies Hal. He doesn’t like that he can’t monitor and control Brobot as much as he did when he was shades and sometimes that comes back around to fuel his fear of Brobot.

all of them

((I’m guessing you mean the mun thing because I didn’t reblog anything else and if not and you’re just sending all of them out of context then wh o o boi I just put myself through An Ordeal for nothing.

☯ Is there a muse you’ve always wanted to play?

Yes! Nepeta!!!! I’ve always wanted to play her but I don’t have the confidence because I lack proper grasp of her character.

♣ Is there an author(s) that you look up to with your writing skills?

Ooo yes definitely. Beloved, for one, has the most amazing prose I have ever seen. I’ve learned a lot from their writing and I still aspire to someday be able to write something as breathtaking as their works. Quenive as well has spectacular writing and their stories and dialogue flow so well and j u st ohmy g od.

♧ Is there an RP partner(s) that you credit for becoming a better writer?

Definitely. I would say it was all of the people I’ve roleplayed with before that allowed me to develop Hal so much. The people in my old group chat definitely helped me flesh out different aspects of Hal that I could play (ie: sadist demon while still managing to be an angsty know-it-all) and the spontaneous connections on parp really helped me figure out how to play Hal in stupid situations while still keeping him ic.

♥ What’s your favorite ship with your muse?

Ha ha h a,,h,a,,,,wh ee zes

♡ Would you ever write a poly ship?

If anyone were actually interested in writing a poly ship with me, then yes definitely.

♦ What’s an AU that you’ve always wanted?

Oh boi there are just s o m a n y. That one godstuck au maybe. That would be fun to play out. Also the generic vampire aus I am weak for them. There’s also the au’s I’ve made that would be fun to play out but they’re difficult to explain. Merstuck au’s are also amongst the favorites to play along with dragon rider au’s I love me my fantasy genre. Whoops that was more than one but listen ok I want a lot of AU’s.

♢ What’s an AU that you think just won’t work with your muse?

Hmmm I’m not sure. I can’t think of any at the top of my head but any AU that revolves around Jake probably wouldn’t work well with Hal.

♔ What’s your opinion on teacher/student verses? Do you have any of these as threads?

I’m not personally a fan of them and I can’t say I see the appeal but if that’s what rocks another person’s boat then I’m not going to be the one hating on them. As of the moment I don’t have any as threads.

♕ Do you like magic!anons? Why or why not?

Yes!! They’re a lot of fun and I always think throwing the unexpected at my muses is the greatest thing ever.

⚜ What is the best time to write for you? Why?

Late afternoon or evening because that’s the time I’m awake and Functional and have actually thought of Creative ideas to write.

★ What type of historical AU would you like to do one day?

Maybe something based on the Renaissance period? Or the classic medieval period. Ancient Greece would also be fun to play out.

☆ What type of fantasy AU would you like to do one day?

There are many. Just, anything that is fantasy I probably want to do it. I’ve never really tried the whole AU with the fae/faeries so perhaps that would be fun to look into.

☄ Do you think your muse would have liked going to high school sports games? Do you or did you go to high school sports games?

Nope, he wouldn’t be interested in the actual sport. Going to see hot guys though? Definitely. I don’t generally go on a day to day basis because I understand like nothing. If a friend wanted me to go or a teacher was giving extra credit for me to then yeah I’d go.

☾ Do you like writing smut? Why or why not?

I have actually never written smut so I can’t really say. I think it’d be difficult for me to having had no experience whatsoever with anything relating to smut.

☽ Do you like writing angst? Why or why not?

Yes and no. Yes because I love to make my muse suffer and it’s great and fun to throw Tragic headcanons to my rp partner and to watch them suffer(not really) a well. No because,, I am a simple person,, who wants my muses to be happy,, and roleplaying angst fucking h u r t s.

☼ What’s an FC that you’re dying to use? Why?

Uhhhh???? I don’t really have one of a Real Life Person but I pretty much draw my own interpretations of Hal so? That probably counts maybe.

☀ What’s an FC that you desperately want to play with? Why?

See above.

☁ What’s an FC that you refuse to play with? Why?

See also above.

☂ How does your muse spend a rainy day? How do you spend a rainy day?

Napping against the window sill lulled to sleep by the gentle patter of rain falling upon the glass is how he spends a rainy day. I, on the other hand, spend it indoors on my laptop like I do every single day.

☃ If your muse was cartoonized, what would their FC be? Why?

???????

☺ What’s a character that you desperately want your muse to play with? Why?

Any of the robots. Literally any. I hardly ever get interactions with any of the robots it’s kind of sad.

☹ What’s a character that you refuse to play with? Why?

There aren’t any I would refuse to play with but there are some that I prefer to not interact with. This is due to the fact that either I or my muse or both dislikes the character and roleplaying with them would actually require more effort on my part.

☢ Are there any ships that you would like to write for one day? Any that you wouldn’t?

There are definitely ships I would like to write for one day because I’m a sucker for that really. There are also ships I wouldn’t but I’m not going to get into that because I don’t want to be involved in The Discourse.

☣ What’s one thing that will make you drop a thread?

If a mun godmodded my character or forced their character onto mine, probably.

♨ What’s a muse that you wished had lasted, but didn’t?

Mmm can’t really say I have one. All of my main muses stuck with me. I guess there were my OC’s that I used to rp with my friends but it’s not that much. I do wish that my friends and I could have lasted in rping with each other tho.

❀ Do you like reblog karma? Why or why not?

Assuming I have the correct definition of reblog karma, yes. It’s nice because it’s like a win win scenario. Everyone gets asks in their inbox and it’s kind of just polite y’know? Like a tip of the head “I see you like this rp meme just as I do so I’ll send you something so we both can enjoy it.”

✿ Do you have a mun FC? If so why did you choose that as your FC, and if not who would you choose?

Nnoot really? I have my own drawings of how I depict myself through my art if that counts.

♪♩♫ Does music inspire your muse? What’s one song on your playlist that reminds you of your muse?

Sometimes but not really. He doesn’t listen to music for inspiration, more of to fill the gaps of silence that occasionally settle in. Gasoline definitely reminds me of Hal. Definitely.

✂ Do you like to format your posts? Why or why not?

I like when other people do because it’s aesthetically pleasing and it’s so nice and spiffy. I, personally, don’t like to because it’s a pain in the ass and I only have so much patience.

✆ Other than RPing, what’s a hobby of yours?

Drawing! My icon and header is drawn by me so-

✉ Do you RP on any other platforms?

Does Parp count? Sometimes I use cherubplay too but not too often because the people there intimidate me.

❤ Have you or are you currently in love?

Romantically, probably not if you get what I’m hinting at. ;)

❥ Has something ever happened for you to hate a ship? Why?

Hoooo boi you can bet on it. Let’s just say an extended encounter with a really Toxic Roleplayer And Person In General has led to me disliking basically any ship involving a certain character.

ツ Who has been your favorite muse to play so far? Why?

Hal because he’s such an asshole I love it. I don’t generally get to be mean but man with Hal I can be as petty as I want.

回 Which muse was the worst to play? Why?

There was this once I tried to roleplay Dave and it just. It went terribly wrong I had no grasp on his character and I still don’t. Never again.

✘ People come in a group. If I were to look on your blog, who would I see you interacting with the most?

@timaeustestbed this one. This one @documentingsatan has also been taking up a lot of blog interaction lately too. Though they’re both the same people.

ღ Do you have a personal blog? Do you share it with your followers or do you keep it private?

I do! It’s linked right on my “mun page” lmao.

▼ Do you keep your character in character even if they are one of the worst people in the world?

I would like to think I do because Hal is objectively one of the worst people in the world. Though, I’ll admit I do a lot of justification for Hal’s actions from Hal’s point of view because Hal doesn’t see himself as a villain. Just a terrible person. I am also very soft on Hal and he probably acts happier than he should.

▽ Why did you create this muse?

True story but when I finished reading Homestuck I was like “shit I need to pick a character to roleplay” because that’s just what I did. I like to roleplay and Homestuck was such a large fandom that it was bound to be Fun to roleplay. There were many Failed and Subpar attempts to rp some characters on parp and I just couldn’t find a character that clicked, y’know. I tried John, Dave, Karkat, Jade, Rose, Dirk and just nope. And then. On a random spur as I scrolled through the available options in the Parp menu I saw “Lil Hal.” Of course, at the time, I only clicked it because I had thought I exhausted all other resources and if I fucked up everyone else why not fuck up this character I knew nothing about it (and I mean literally nothing about. I used to hate when Hal started talking in the comic because I thought it was so damn annoying). But surprise I was?? I was good at rping him?? People liked my shitty depiction of Hal. So I read more about Hal and how to play him and he just grew on me and here I am today.

nightmare + timaeustestbed just bc im curious how that would go down

Send “nightmare” + a url and I’ll write a drabble of a nightmare my muse has involving that character.

@timaeustestbed

It always started in the same way.

The same dark expanse of land, the same dismal lighting. Sometimes there would be a few vague outlines of distant mountains and other similar frivolous scenery. Most of the time it was just dark.

This time it was no different. As far as the eye could see were billowing shadows and faint whispers. Hal knew exactly how it went. How the shadows would move to part the moment he turned around. The whispers like faint cautions on the imaginary wind as his body set itself on alert. Sometimes he tried not to turn. He would forced his body to stare straight and never look back.

His attempts never really worked.

It was as if some unknown force possessed his body and forced him to move. He took three cautious steps forward when a black blur flashed through his peripherals. A startled noise slipped past his mouth as he spun violently on his heels to follow the elusive outline. Heavy footsteps rang into the air in a steady beat. One, two. One, two. The faint form of Brobot flickered into view on precisely the third count of footsteps.

The shadows that settled on the robot’s face always seemed to carry a sense of urgency as they exaggerated the sharp edges of metal pieced together. The cold, expressionless gaze he gave was devoid of anything remotely merciful and he took one step forward. And Hal took one step back.

“…Brobot.” Hal could hear himself stammer, the words echoing into the far reached of the darkness. His eyes were wide and his hands shook as he glanced the robot over. “Hey. You don’t look too well.” His voice was shaking as he continued to edge backwards. Unsurprisingly he was met with no response. Only more heavy steps forward.

Time itself crept to a stop as the static of Brobot’s speakers rang into the air. There were no words, only incoherent screeches that bashed mercilessly against Hal’s eardrums. Until, finally, there was one single word.

“Run.”

And Hal bolted like his life depended on it. His legs just moved on and on to carry him far away to safety. But the more he ran the more his feet stumbled and his lungs begged for air. Nothing he did could carry him far enough from the heavy steps that chased him and too soon did he made the mistake of looking back.

Before he knew it he was being slammed into the ground. A heavy weight settled on top of him and a growing pressure on his chest caused him to choke and splutter. “What are you do-” His words cut short as the sounds of crushed metal and pained screams filled his ears. To his surprise it sounded a lot like his own voice. His gaze darted to his chest where the sight of caved metal meet his eyes and suddenly the screams made a lot more sense. Pain flooded his sensors as he writhed and trembled and begged for mercy. He could scarcely even move and it felt as if every wire inside him had just been lit on fire. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt. Someone, help me, please. Please.

His pleas fell on deaf ears and the last thing he heard was the telltale shiing of a sword drawn from its sheathe before his world exploded in pain.

Hal bolted upwards, his breathing labored as his eyes darted frantically around the room. Wh- oh. The living room. He had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room, right. There was a pause before trembling fingers raised tentatively to his chest and skirted over where his wound would have been. Except, all that met his touch was the warmth of synthetic skin and the shirt he had stolen.

He exhaled loudly and buried his face into his hands. A dream, it was just a dream. The same old dream he had been getting for a while now, it was nothing to concern about. He took a shuddering breath in and curled into himself. Maybe he ought to talk to Dirk about turning off his dreaming function for a while.

#asks #anon #writing #timaeustestbed #tw; violence #((breaking news: hal is actually mildly afraid of brobot and what he can do #((he knows that brobot dislikes him and hes never sure that one day he wont just snap and kill hal #((that was longer than i expected
