Heyy :) Can you please write headcanons of dating quackity, but in his earlier eras? (like 2019-21 maybe) ❤
ooooo yes of course!!! ; fun fact I've been watching him since 2018 or so (I don't mean this in a "Oh I'm cooler than you way) ; thank you for the request!! this was fun as hell ; I tried to kinda do it in a chronological order but yeah, I did like stuff and then more details of relationship if that makes sense yk???
QUACKITY ; 2019-2021 era
warnings ; language, talk of drugs, jokes about sex
genre ; fluff
word count ; 858
masterlist
Tumblr media
Raiding Club Penguin with him and Axel was a core memory for you. It was the first true time, however cringe it sounds, that you saw Alex as your best friend.
he'd always try to make you laugh, especially on stream
such a little tease
back in the olden days, we had those Discord server 'wtf is that food' videos
you guys rank some of them and how likely you'd eat them
also ranking Discord memes
so many of them were dumb shit or weird shipart from like 2015 deviantart LMFAO
"guys I know me and y/n are dating but that doesn't mean compare us to Shrek couples!"
"I thought Thanos was your true love?"
"He-He is! Oh my God, stop being so desperate, y/n. ugh"
once he got invited to the Dream SMP, you were all ears and proudly taught him how to play Minecraft
you made his alt skin with the tuxedo, which he didn't wear often, but used in lore some time later
youd often help him with lore ideas
he also got you invited into the SMP where he introduced you to some of his new friends
you knew schlatt and some others, but most of these people were new and it was nice meeting all of them
the fiances are established and then you and quackity are already a think and you also like karl, which creates a weird love rectangle with an open end because you and sapnap are sharing the other two 💀
lore goes fuckin crazy with that
while Karl's off making Kinoko Kingdom and Quackity's running Las Nevadas, you're building El Tropicana, off in the far away jungle biome
Alex would usually stream and translate Mexican soap operas, which you joined in for sometimes
you'd give the characters different voices and twist their words up a bit to make it more entertaining for chat
the amount of drug talk that went into that was wild
also the amount of queer kids bullied in those schools?? yikes on bikes
also the one with that girl who got in trouble for kissing a boy on the playground or whatever that was?? Jesus christ man
youd both act put the scenes on occasion and use Tiger as whatever kid was being yelled at if she was in the room with you
taking a break halfway through stream for him to play guitar and for you to karaoke to fuckin Bo Burnham
also making fake joints out of paper he had laying around and "lighting them up" aka setting paper on fire next to a PC and your faces
Jackbox streams with the Feral Boys until 3am>>>
Paranormal Activity in the middle of the night went so fucking crazy
teaching Bad how to play GTA is your favorite memory with those two
playing horror games and watching him play horror games with Karl while he visited him
how dare he leave you all alone (you couldn't go because you had a busy schedule)
your chats shipping the hell out of you and your dsmp characters
hella fanart and fanfictions man
try not to laugh streams where you always ended up laughing before the ten minute mark because of him
he purposefully does shit to make you laugh
reading fanfiction on stream was a regular activity especially for y/s/n
youd rank the book on a scale from one to ten and how accurate to real life they were
"nahhhh that one doesn't have enough Thanos, two out of ten"
"yknow what... were gonna have our own tier lists... okay?"
"damnit... does this mean I'm not getting laid later?"
"what"
promoting the quackityhq merch religiously
also stealing whichever beanie he wasn't wearing, either the LAFD one or the plain black and blue one
him tying you to a chair and forcing you to laugh was a common stream plot
tweets that were either very inconspicuous about drugs, very sexual, or very old married couple vibes
youd both be frequently trending on twitter
hot wings or dare streams with Bad >>>>
playing girls go games and hoping you wouldn't give his PC a virus
sitting in the inflatable pool fully clothed, playing with children's bath toys
he'd for sure be the type to fall for his best friend
whether it be all the way back then or just now, he could go forever without feeling any feelings but one day they'll show up and the nervousness begins
he'd lend you a hoodie if you were cold in his room and he just straight up begs you to keep it
lots of just staring at you while chat ships you, like genuinley just zones out on your pretty face
would probably doubt his feelings at first and talk to his mom about it and she's like "boy you have a crush. Go ask them the hell out, you're a handsome young man, I'm pretty sure they like you too"
"mOooOooOoOoM"
genuinley spoils you with no good reason and after a while you just accept it
he starts sending good morning and good night texts
he'll repost (or reblog) (he has a secret tumblr) fanart of you two, especially if it's shipart
will constantly send you clips of movie characters making out or kissing and say "this should be us"

hey, idk how to say this without seeming slightly creepy, since i have no idea what your stance is on being associated with the username moonshroom420 (i hope i got that correctly, otherwise this will be a very awkward and misdirected ask. it took a bit of searching through tumblr reblogs and even then, i'm still not sure if it's right).
(and i'm sorry for bringing it up if you have negative memories with that username)
but like,, 9 years ago or something? i'm pretty sure you kick-started my entire journey into fandoms with "brace yourself, hogwarts". no, this is not a request for you to update that fic /srs. as much as i enjoyed it i do not want to pressure you about it, but i do come back to it from time to time to reread it. i would be lying if i said it didn't inspire most of my writing style back then.
ever since then, fandoms were such fun communities for me to thrive in, and i've met some of my best friends because of them. i don't write anymore, but i do love drawing fanart of anime (current favourite is bungou stray dogs ahaha shameless recommendation).
so i kinda just wanted to thank you for writing that fic and existing, because i wouldn't be who i am today without it, nor would i have met the people who i treasure so much in my life.
and you don't have to answer this question but, looking at myself and how much i changed in 9 years, i'm sort of curious what your journey was like? does it feel strange to learn how you've impacted people's lives (or at least mine)?
sorry if this sappy and horribly written ask made you cringe so hard, i mainly just wanted to thank you and maybe see how you were doing now.
hey!! i’ve got no problem at all with moonshroom420 lol, i changed my user mostly because my friends started teasing me about it being a weed thing (it wasn’t, but would be funny if it was #legalise it). sorry the change turned you around so much, but i’m honoured you put that much effort into finding my tumblr.
i don’t really know what to say except thank you 💛. i’m always a little surprised when people say any if my stories touched them in ways that ended up shaping their lives, because i was 15/16 when i wrote most of them and i wouldn’t exactly call them great writing. it started as a way for my friends and i to escape and then became its own beast entirely, but i also wouldn’t be who i am today without them.
i’m always thankful to you and everyone else who encouraged me. i still get reviews on lots of my stuff today if you can believe it, it’s always funny to me that folks would bother. it’s strange in a way to know that i’ve impacted people in ways i never intended, but i love it. i screenshot some of the reviews that really meant a lot to me and have them as my screensaver. i think the readers impacted me the same as my stuff impacted them tbh.
as for me, i work in publishing now making books for kids who don’t have easy access to them, like in combat zones and underprivileged countries. hilarious to think that i wouldn’t have this dream job and wonderful friends if it weren’t for fanfic.

🎤 for the fic meme!
🎤 - what’s a strongly-held opinion you have about fics?
geez what ISNT a strongly held opinion i have about fics...let me see if i can narrow it down to like a top 5 or something lol. in no particular order:
there really is not any such thing as "writer's block." i know i say this all the time but there literally always is a particular reason the words aren't happening and waving it away as a "mysterious block" like the power to type fiction in a google doc is an ability given to you by the gods on high & you just have to wait for them to bless you again is like. not actually going to help you get anything done. it's not magic and it doesn't happen on its own! figure out the problem, the EXACT problem, and then you can fix it.
ambient sounds/the right music will always make it easier to write. i have a whole list
fics and books aren't the same thing. they're 2 different forms of media that are just similar on a surface level, like tv & movies. saying fics aren't as good as "real books" is like saying tv isn't as good as "real movies." tv isn't trying to be movies & fics aren't trying (or shouldn't be trying) to be books so shut the fuck up. (also, fic is better <3) relatedly, if someone wants to file off the serial numbers then just let them & leave them alone, that's literally their own business. it's kind of unfair that fanartists can get paid and we all accept that as normal and not cringe but fanfic authors can't even SUGGEST they should be paid without getting roasted and in fact have to jump thru hoops (said serial numbers) if they ever wanna see any cash. i don't really wanna get paid for writing fanfic bc i do it for fun and that's an instant way to take the passion out of it but i do believe you should be able to commission a fic/set up a patreon the way u can for fanart cuz that's only fair. you know?? like in this unsympathetic bitch of a capitalist hellscape im not gonna judge most people for trying to monetize their shit. Bad Opinion but there it is
fic writing is for fun and if you are stressing a lot about your stats or if comments are the only reason you write it is not a good way to live. i won't elaborate in order to respect privacy but i have had not one but TWO former-ish friends have literal actual nervous breakdowns about this. if you can't separate fic writing from the need for it to be personal validation you're never going to enjoy it for its own sake and you should maybe work on some personal stuff instead of your fanfic. idk i'm not your mom
DO NOT DO THAT THING where you like. put "idk how to summarize" or a fic excerpt in your summary. AND THEN PUT THE ACTUAL SUMMARY. IN YOUR NOTES. i can't see the author's notes from the browsing page! if you can summarize it in the author's notes you can move that text to the box that i actually can see! excerpts are great for tumblr but they're very bad at getting me to click on a fic on AO3 unless the tags are both very descriptive and very up my alley. if you really like excerpts you can put that AND the summary in the summary box but for the love of god don't hide the summary behind something i have to click on bc i'm so sorry but i will not do it.

I mean like. Yeah u can hyperfixate on yuri but once uve read all the manga volumes like..its over....i mean ive had periods where i was hyperfixated on yuri in general but theres no like. Specific yuri series that lots of people make fancontent for that you can consume for months on end??? theres so much fanart for mdzs, and its specifically a danmei. and theres more than just fluffy romcoms....!!!!!!besides citrus..!!!!!!!! I have a manga on my desk rn called "killing me!" abt a vampire hunter and a vampire or "after hours" which is abt adults and one of them gets the other into DJing, and even series with "fluffy" romance can be a lot more nuanced than ud think and tbh i think its a lot healthier to have mostly fluffy stuff than mostly sexual content (gay teens deserve wish fulfillment stuff, also not saying mdzs is sexual i mean ? I dont know if it is? Just yaoi in general) but i agree the worship of """""" purity """"""" is gross but the difference is that its made mostly by wlw. Also i wasnt being accusatory, like i know ur gay, its just funny bc idk like. i feel like everyone got into chinese bl of a sudden and I dont rly get the appeal even tho theres more to it, its kind of like the three kingdoms (i assume theres like politics and battles ?) but magic and gay thats nice!!! That sounds sarcastic its not i swear. i cant watch series that have 50 min long eps but I'll take ur word for it that the untamed is good
hyperfixation has nothing to do with fandom and as someone who's hyperfixated on obscure shit for years at a time if there's no content you can make your own. like I completely get what you're saying but that's really not how that works
ofc there's more than fluffy romcoms -- however most wlw content tends to be of that type bc of the obsession w women being "pure" n shit like that. it's the same reason why most content of gay men tends to become hypersexualised -- it's just another manifestation of homophobia. that kind of content doesn't appeal to me, so when it comes to yuri I often have to look harder. I don't even like romance as a genre (generally hate it actually) which is why I've been going on about tgcf so much -- it's the first romance-centric media that's made me Get It
I get what you mean about how gay kids deserve better n I agree!! hypersexualisation fucking sucks and I wish we didn't have to grow up in a world where we're seen as commodities. however mdzs and tgcf are both what I'd consider 18+ books and any adaptations remove most sexual elements. I really don't think you should pass judgement on them without knowing anything about them. that's not a case of "uh you haven't consumed it so how can you judge!!" but instead hey maybe you could like, ask me what they're about... do a basic bit of googling... also BL isn't yaoi. BL and GL stand for boy's love and girl's love respectively and there's nothing inherently sexual about either of them. I get the feeling you've gotten confused on some terminology
honestly no idea where you're getting "everyone is into danmei now" from bc the group of people I know who're into it are VERY small lmao your social circle is not the entire internet. it's okay to feel confused by the changing tides of fandom and it's okay to feel left out but it's really not anything deep mate. it's okay to not be interested in something other people like, you don't have to justify it. although your concerns about the sexualisation of LGBT people are a legitimate discussion and I'm interested in having it within this context it's just not working bc (as you've admitted) you don't even know the media you're using as a springboard. what I'm hyperfixating on is none of your business and it's not something you should feel comfortable going on anon and basically telling me I should feel cringe for, holy shit. your argument is lost bc you are approaching this as if you have any right to the media I consume! I'm sorry if this sounds mean but I just woke up and I'm really tired and stressed and you're projecting ideas onto me that I have no way to deal w because They Have Nothing To Do With Me
