What do you think the Gang does when they have a crush? How do they react to realizing they're into someone? Thanks!

YYYEEEAAAA <333 This is. so cute mwamwammwamwa I love how fluffy and soft this is

all sfw!! Brief death mention for Myc's

Reagan

She's... oddly happy?

She expected that when she'd get a crush she'd feel. I dunno, dread? A Horrible Sinking Feeling That Would Crush All Excitement In Her? Pure Misery Of Some Sort? Kinda like how her parents were-

but no she. actually feels kinda. content about it. who would have guessed.

DON'T GET IT WRONG, SHE'S DEFINITELY NERVOUS JUST. not actively Panicking about it. yet. It'll come, don't worry MSMNSD

This hasn't happened in a HOT minute. And even then, most of her crushes growing up were like. Boybands. Carl Sagan. Ada Lovelace.

She isn't USED TO HAVING,, actual IRL crushes. People she can actually talk to, and interact with, and see. daily. constantly.

Yeah it’s the moments where her love for you sneaks up on her that,, really get her palms sweating.

UGH it’s. inconvenient in the best way. she feels silly and childish and also absolutely delighted. Like oh god she’s starting to ask if you want to hang out after work???? Help her with paperwork??? She doesn’t feel like herself, but also she’s finding a newfound love for taking the risk of opening up to someone???

TLDR. Stress. But good stress. Appreciated stress and inconvenience, that she has wrangled into something domesticated.

Brett

He falls in head first and never even thinks to dig himself out

TRULY HE STRIKES ME AS THE TYPE TO FALL SO HARD.

It’ll probably be after some Small Special Moment that was probably meaningless to you but everything to him?

Remembering his coffee order. Staying up with him to talk on the phone the day before a Big Presentation, to make sure he’s okay.

IT JUST ALL HITS AT ONCE. Like it’ll start as that and then ever little thing you do becomes so beautiful to him. Rose tinted glasses, sure, but isn’t rose such a pretty color?

AAA <33333 he’s so gooey and sappy and just UGH. Puppy love. He isn’t that close to you yet, but he’s already so attached!!!

He goes out of his way, more than usual, to do stuff for you? Like not in a creepy obsessive way (he worries himself A LOT about being. too much.), but just trying to help out wherever he can!! He wants to express how much he cares about you as often and as thoroughly as he can!!

This also means. you 10000% know he’s crushing on you. like instantly.

IF HE ASKS YOU OUT, PLEASE ACT SURPRISED. COME ON HE’S DOING HIS BEST SMDNSMD

Gigi

aaaAAAAAAA

She feels like a kid again what is this. what is she doing. how embarrassing. MSNDMSD

LIKE SHE. It's like when someone makes a really, really stupid joke and you're like Goddamn It I Shouldn't Find That Funny But I Do And I Hate Myself For It

YEAH ITS KINDA THAT FEELING

She's forgotten how it all feels like tbh?

it clicks when you two are doing something, and she is laughing her ass off like she hasn't laughed in 10+ years, and the very inconvenient realization hits her that she’s more comfortable with you than anyone else in her life right now. Like she’s back home.

For a second it kills her tbh.

She learned very, very early on that getting too attached to ppl in this line of work is usually just. a very uncomfortable hassle, if not actively agonizing mistake, so she really tries not to.

and yet, she’s can’t stop laughing, and she doesn’t want to try. She’s just so happy.

Oh well. The sun is shining and you are beautiful. There are worse mistakes to make.

Andre

wow.

For him it feels like. idk. coming up for air when you’re swimming. That cool, fresh feeling all the way down his lungs.

Like sure yeah he flirts with people, he’s flirty, he’s a flirty dude, but. this is so different

every interaction with you feels like there’s static energy building in his chest. Like if he actually touches you, there’ll be this massive explosion of colors and light that’ll make him feel balanced again in a way it hasn’t felt in decades.

It’s chemistry babey!! Pure and simple!! It’s that amazing swirling excitable connected feeling!!

He chases it so much!!!!!! <33333!!!!

He goes out of his way to interact with you, to talk to you, to meet you and walk with you and just. BE with you. He feels so much happier and calmer when you’re around.

he doesn’t know. quite where to go from that. He tries not to think about it too much, because the idea of what he’s feeling Right Now going away, or having to change, is terrifying.

Live in the moment, right? When has he ever thought ahead! This is good enough. He wouldn’t risk this for the world.

Myc

Well. Shit.

He hates it but also. he's been around the block long enough to know there's nothing he can really do when it gets to this point.

You think you're his first crush ever? NAH sdmnsmd he's been around for 4000 years, practically nothings new for him.

It is rare, though. He tries not to make a habit of it, for obvious reasons

He will, probably, try his usual Techniques (tm) to see if he can get the Feeling to fuck off though.

Distancing himself, remembering all your faults + the shit you do that annoys him, all the times you've pissed him off and are going to piss him off. How it's gonna feel when you’re gone.

If none of that works? Welp, not much else to do but hang on and enjoy the ride, however long that goes for.

50/50 on if he'll initiate an actual relationship

Sure, he's accepted his crush on you, that doesn't mean he's gotta go and get himself all attached. That's a whole different ball game.

If he does, you're more important to him than you could possibly imagine. He might not say it, but you are.

Glenn

He feels guilty??

Like holy fuck you could do so much better than him. Like so much better than him, oh God

This is also why he’s not even gonna think about asking you out. At least not for the first little while (6-10 months). Even if you start showing interest, this man is gonna be way too chickenshit.

He’s also. not subtle in the slightest. We’ve seen how he acts when he’s flustered, he’s an Absolute Bumbling Baboon of a man.

The most awkward attempts at flirting you will ever have to endure MSNDMS

mostly it’s whenever you swing by his office you will get the most Geriatric White Yeehaw Man flirting. he is not good at it and will be banging his head on his desk after you leave.

GOD I can’t decide,,, whether or not he’d ask for advice. Part of me feels like he’d try to keep it Bottled Up Like A Good Soldier but also. I can totally see him caving and spilling the beans to Andre or Gigi at the Slightest Provocation.

WHICH WILL OFC END IN,, at least a little bit of teasing. And some pretty decent advice. So maybe not all too bad of an idea

Overall?? Panic and guilt with a healthy dollop of Yearning, wishing he had the balls to actually approach you about it.

Italicized Oh Moment

It's a surprise, but it isn't jarring? It's just this little Moment (tm).

Like putting the last puzzle piece into place. He's looking at you as you dance to some old 80s jams he's got playing in his office, half-singing the lyrics, and it just clicks that oh. he loves you. That’s what that horrible, cloying, feeling in his chest his. ah. Alright then.

He feels a little selfish for it, because if he were to ask you, it’d put you in extreme danger. Being close to him vs being officially with him, in that way, are two very different things.

But of course he does, because it’s you. He couldn’t possibly think of a way he’d let that opportunity pass him by. Maybe he’s selfish for it, but the future is someone else’s problem <3 right now he’s got you dancing in his office, he’s happy with that.

Alpha-Beta

oh fuck oh shit oh nononononono absolutely the fuck not nope nuh-huh try the fuck again nOT ON HIS FUCKING WATCH HE ISN'T-

he buries that shit 100000 meters down and pretends it never happened <3

come onnn this man,, has created his entire personality around being

absolutely perfect. Without needs, without wants, without attachments, The Ultimate Lifeform (tm) etc etc

hating humanity with every fibre of his being

this isn't a cutesy 'ohoho I haaaate it sopooooo much' NO HES FUMING HES SO GENUINELY IRATE.

its so inconvenient. its throwing a wrench in everything it is ANNOYING. You are ANNOYING. You ANNOY him >:(

^^ lies and half truths

He'll catch himself looping your laugh in his head and just. Gives himself a Look (tm) in the reflection of his tube.

He’ll have to actively resist initiating conversations, because he knows it’s gonna make him insanely happy to hear your voice and he’s trying not to get attached.

Is it all gonna come to a head in some Great, Crushing, Overwhelming Realization that his love for you completely outshines his hatred of humanity?

YEP BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS ITS DENIAL CITY BABEY 💃💃💃

aaaAAA <333 BRRBRBRB THIS WAS. SUPER CUTE. As always, feel free to add your own ideas, and thanks so much for the ask!!!!

Happy 100 followers! I don’t know if you’re okay with writing myc or not but hear me out, afab reader and myc are having a long slow makeout session while his tentacles explores their body 😏🍄

(The fact this got sent in right around or seconds before I posted my other Myc celebration ask is hilarious)

You’re dragging your feet, making your way up the steps of the brownstone Myc owns, minutes away from work over in Alexandria and the equivalent of an oasis to you, a beacon of home and love and hot sex. You’re a simple person.

Unlocking the door and entering the house, popping the alarm system off then back on again while kicking off your shoes fades in a blur. Coat and bag get hung up and keys left in the catch-all dish near the door, your frame languid and dropped in malaise. Brains as fuzzy as a brand new carpet.

“Oh look, my favorite person!” Myc calls from the other room, seeing you enter the main living area from his cushy, oversized bean bag chair. “Fuck you look a mess - do I need to go get my machete back from Glenn?”

"no - wait, you gave him the machete?"

"yeah, and?" He feigns nonchalance, raising flagella in a come hither motion that brings you forth, waving you in like a siren to the sea and lulling you into the safety of his embrace, "he wanted it, better get it back though, I bought that shit brand new."

You make a noise of indignance, a brow raising at his words once he coils himself around you and pulls you closer to him to sit upon his lap and where he sits upon the beanbag chair. "You know you stole it."

"Damn right I did."

You let out a bark of a laugh, sudden and unexpected and get nudged by Myc teasingly who you shove back, nudging him with an elbow as he grunts, shoving you in return before tugging you in closer. Myc’s silent for a moment, a rarity, and rubs the surface of his orb against the top of your head before you break and speak.

"You ever seen a brand new machete?"

“No?”

“Okay see - that’s where I keep wondering if there’s just some secret pre-owned machete market.” You exclaim before his tendril-like flagella brush against your skin, rising at the spot where your shirt has ridden up, growing bashful even though it’s something so regular and frequent between the two of you it’s instinctual, wanting to be touching some part of one another at all times.

Even though he wouldn’t admit it, petulant fuck.

“You never see one clean or without like a decades worth of rust.”

“I don’t like the fact you’re right.” He says, stagnant voice making you giggle and prompting him to twine flagella and tendrils around you, sneaking up your shirt and across your belly. “You never do.” Is muttered into the base of his stalklike neck, breathier than intended but fun nonetheless as you feel him shudder around you and twitch.

“Like that, huh?” You murmur, placing a languid and lazy kiss against him and feeling him speak through, smirking against him. “You can fuck right off.”

“Invitation accepted.”

Your hands move to reposition yourself, Myc’s tendrils acquiescing and helping support your weight while you get settled, thighs around his base while flagella wrap around your arms and thighs, one curling around the slope of your neck. Arms wrap themselves around him on the underside of his orb, allowing you to curl up in his lap and feel him love on you while you get him flushed and literally glowing.

Dotting kisses about his body, you tease with little pecks and airy huffs that he bitches and complains at, still stripping you of your clothing all the while in the most stubborn manner, moaning through curses as you lick a stripe across his surface and chuckle against him, grinding down with a grin.

He can’t kiss back but he more than makes up for it in the way he squeezes and presses you, molding your body like softened polymer clay, baking you in the warmth blooming in your belly as Myc moves a tendril between your legs after you bite at him.

“Gotta’ play fair, doll.” Myc rolls, nudging your nose with a bump of his cap before he pulls your underwear aside and toys with you, getting your mouth open and gasping wetly against his skin. You mark him up with your teeth and soothe the sting with kisses and kitten licks, rocking back and forth against him and whining as he brushes sensitive, well memorized spots.

Pulling back, he takes you in and you’re dazed, pupils blown and face warm and absolutely downright horny. God he loves you.

“Myc,” You coo, trailing a palm up and down a tendril before pumping it in your fist, watching him groan and his orb shift, resembling a freshly shaken snow globe, “you know we never play fair.”

He slots a tendril in you and matches your pace and mocks your moan, mirroring it back in a whiny tone before he rubs the lip of his cap against your forehead, chuckling while he uses his flagella coiled around your waist to fuck himself with you, like a well-loved fleshlight.

“Don’t I know it - It’s so much more fun that way.”

#100 followers celebration #inside job #personal inside job #my inside job #my thots #inside job headcanon #magic myc x reader #myc x reader #myc #inside job Myc #hope this is what you wanted! can’t really write kisses with him cause he ain’t got no lips #but there’s the human form disguise I could touch on someday #hmm food for thought

At the end of the day, Alastor is aroace (romance and sex repulsed) no matter what. It’s why I made a separate tag as I want to respect aroace representation.

“Hidden thoughts.”

Myc x reader

words:1400

google docs pages: 4

warnings: mention of drugs, stress, mentions of trauma idk Myc being horrible at trying to help :”D

opening: Late night at work, and you’re alone with Myc. He ends up reading your mind and finds a lot of things he never knew about.

Not Proof Read!!

AN// I have so many unfinished fanfics, like from the office- but I wanted to get this out and I'm thinking of writing something for Rand as well. Oh and hi, I’m back from the dead :”D

“Hidden thoughts.”

You sat on your chair in your office, with your laptop in front of you. There was quite a lot of unfinished work you had totally forgotten about, and the more you thought about it the more you kept telling yourself you had to get it done as soon as possible. So now you were still in your office, after hours working on some unfinished documents that should have been done most likely months ago. You had no idea how your colleagues managed to act so calm, when they seemed like they were doing even less work than you. Did they not care that someone would find out how much they slack off?

Myc had also decided to join you, because he had seen you enter your office earlier. So not only were you stuck with your over the deadline work, but also with a talking magic mushroom…thing? But to your surprise he wasn’t as annoying as you had prepared for him to be. Somehow he was acting a little different than he acted when the whole group was together. He seemed kinder in a weird and in all honesty creepy way. But you didn’t mind. Myc had maybe the easiest job from the group, so your judgemental brain didn’t blame him for slacking off so much and acting like he didn’t care.

You typed away on your laptop, trying to get all the work done so you could leave. You knew if you left now and told yourself you’d finish that at home it would never happen. You would know, because you had tested that multiple times in the past. That might have actually been the reason why all the work you were doing now was so late.

“You gonna be here all night? It’s quite late.” Myc said, his orb’s pink light bringing some color into the otherwise dark room. His comment brought you back from your thoughts. “What..? No! No, of course not. If I had a choice I would have left early…Jesus…” You mumbled a reply before you went back to speeding through your work. Myc’s orb lit up again. “Just leave it undone and come watch my machine. It got some upgrades.” He said, putting one of his tendrils on your shoulder to peak at what you were doing. You cringed at his comment, showing his tendril off your shoulder. “No thank you, I’d rather work my ass off with these documents than watch..that..” You replied, shaking your head after to get the image of him in the machine off your mind. “You seem so tense. Surely you want to get your work done well if you’re staying here so late?” Myc spoke again, now looking at you. You sighed, turking to look at him finally. “Yes, and as of right now the only thing not allowing me to finish these is you. No offense.” You mumbled the last part. “Let me ease your mind. No way you can work efficiently when you’re so tense?” The mushroom pleaded, hoping you’d give in. “No, you’re not reading my mind.” You huffed, turning back to your laptop to continue working. “Fuck you, I just want to help for once.” Myc replied to you, pulling your chair further away from the table with one of his tendrils. “Stop! I need to get these done or I wont get peace in my mind!” You exclaimed, trying to stop him by pressing your feet against the floor. “See, even your subconscious is screaming for help. Now, just chill out man.” Myc hummed, totally ignoring the way you were protesting. He pressed two of his tendrils on your head. The tips of them turned pink, as he began to go through your thoughts.

You tried to get away but whatever the fuck he was doing was working. You leaned back on the chair with half lidded eyes, staring at your laptop’s screen and the light it is illuminating into the dark room. You had no idea what Myc was doing, but it felt like hardcore drugs.

You sat there for a good moment, before your mind began to wonder on its own again. Could he hear your thoughts even now or was he looking at something else. Could he see your bad memories as well? Like all the traumatizing stuff from the past? If he could, you just had to not think about it, right? No…No this was just making you think about it all again…

You bit your teeth together, and fully opened your eyes. You leaned forward to get Myc’s tendrils off of your head. While staring at the floor, you didn’t hear anything from your mushroom buddy. You covered your eyes with your hands, and leaned against your knees. No way in hell he just saw all of that.

“What in the hell did you just bring up.” Myc’s voice said from behind your chair. The floor illuminated the colors of his cap as they changed from pink to purple. “Are you like mentally doing okay?” He kept talking and walked in front of you with two of his tendrils on his orb. “Wow, thank you.” You mumbled, still not breaking your staring contest with the floor of your office. Myc was quiet for once for a moment before he began talking again. “You know, I’m sorry I didn't mean to go that far. Your mind is a mess by the way.” The mushroom said as he let go of his orb. Because you didn’t reply he poked you with one of his tendrils. “You know I'm not good at this.” He then said, coming a little closer. You looked up at him with the front of your hair now messed up and the whites of your eyes now a little red from trying not to cry. “Yeah, fuck you.” You sniffed, and wiped your eyes with your sleeve. “Deserved, I guess. But you’re still stressed.” He replied, while one of his tendrils closed your laptop. “Mhm, because that helps.” Your gaze turned to him. A couple tears were trying to escape your eyes, but you were fighting for your life to not let that happen.

You stared at the mushroom in front of you for a moment before you spoke again. “Can you…do the mind reading again. You already know everything so…” You murmured, not daring to look at him. You knew if he could grin at you he would at the moment. “Now you’re getting it.” He replied and scooted close enough that he could place two of his tendrils at the sides of your head. You leaned to the back of your chair again. This time you closed your eyes. It didn’t take long for your mind to start to wonder again. Though this time it felt like something was blocking the thoughts of the work you were stressing over. Could he only read the memories you were thinking about? If so you should be fine if you just relaxed. “I don’t know…can I read memories as well?” Myc’s a little lower voice commented smugly. You or your thoughts didn’t reply, but your breathing had evened out. Myc looked at you, before letting his tendrils fall off. The pink color on them faded away. “Well you’re coming with me…” Myc hummed to himself before lifting you up with a couple of his tendrils.

“You know, I’m sorry for..what I did.” He mumbled to himself, knowing that you most likely couldn’t hear him. “And I’m already sorry for when you wake up tomorrow, because we’re going to my place.” The mushroom added, while making his way to the exit. He was just happy you weren’t overworking yourself anymore.

//I feel like this didn’t turn out too good but it’s almost 6am and i’m kinda tired so we’ll go with this :”D!!

Quirky Mature Comedy "Inside Job" Lampoons Conspiracy Theories

Reagan and her team

On October 22, the first ten episodes of Inside Job aired on Netflix. The show is not only irreverent, witty, and quirky, but its well-developed characters, voice acting, animation, and plot make the show captivating enough to watch, from episode to episode. Its interlinking stories lead to a devastating "resolution" that will shake you to the core.

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the ninth article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on October 23, 2021.

Inside Job, a mix of workplace comedy and paranoid fiction, is the first animated series by Shion Takeuchi, a former writer for Gravity Falls, writer for Disenchantment, and former storyboarder for Regular Show. The creator of Gravity Falls, Alex Hirsch, is an executive producer, as is Takeuchi. It is the first series created by her as part of a deal with Netflix to produce animated content. Hirsch said that he was inspired by the X-Files while he and Takeuchi were inspired by pages of the Weekly World News, an outlandish tabloid.

Inside Job has six main characters: tech genius Reagan Ridley (voiced by Lizzy Caplan), yes-man/fratboy Brett Hand (voiced by Clark Duke), biochemist Dr. Andre (voiced by Bobby Lee), humanoid dolphin/supersoldier Glenn Dolphman (voiced by John DiMaggio), PR officer Gigi Thompson (Tisha Campbell), and psychic mushroom organism Magic Myc (voiced by Brett Gelman). Supporting characters include current CEO J.R. Scheimpough (voiced by Andrew Daley) and Reagan's father Rand Ridley (voiced by Christian Slater). Reagan, J.R., Andrew, Glenn, Gigi, and Magic work at Cognito, Inc., with Reagan managing her co-workers and wanting to make the world "a better place," while dealing with her paranoid father, the former company CEO. Reagan herself is multiracial as her mother, Tomiko (voiced by Suzy Nakamura), is Japanese. In this world, every conspiracy theory is real, with Cognito as a shadow government entity that makes this all happen, working for those in the shadows.

The ten-episode first season of Inside Job introduces viewers to Cognito, Inc., where all manner of conspiracies are afoot. In the first episode, Reagan tries to replace the president with a robot after the previous one was "too dumb" to manipulate, while her goal to become the head of the team is squashed by her boss, J.R., who brings in a man named Brett Hand to co-lead the team. In the second episode, Brett and Reagan are confronted with the difficult task of figuring out who to fire as Cognito makes cutbacks, while her team tries to kiss up to her, thinking they will be fired, and having to fight off a powerful monster.

Later episodes feature a reptilian/lizard people gala, Reagan attempting to get a boyfriend, selling outdated and dangerous products to a town stuck in the 1980s, Reagan attempting to stop her dad from learning about her mom's wedding, ghosting a flirty secret agent, a free love commune on the Moon, a mole inside of Cognito, and trying to stop a robot by delving deep into her mind, while learning the truth about her father.

Weirdness and mature subject matters are at the center of Inside Job, with nothing held back. The show has characters cursing and blood being spilled, even in the first episode. Curse words fly right and left, mostly out of Reagan's mouth, and for good reason! Clearly, due to this, some people may not like the show or find it "too mature," or even sexual at times, in par with other mature animations that have been released recently, whether by Netflix or on other platforms.

While reviewers rightly described this series as mocking "our brain-fried reality," having a "lot of energy," being "emotionally wise and sincere," there is more to this show than that. It uses, in Takeuchi's words, comedy to "process difficult emotions, and... a way to explore these kinds of topics [conspiracy theories] and the ridiculousness of them." This is made clear from the fact that at first Reagan feels threatened by Brett. He comes to her for help, as he is under too much pressure. And both work together to control the rogue president and help each other. Although it reminds me a little of Mr. Robot, which focused on a group of hackers trying to bring down the "elites," Inside Job is the opposite of this, as the protagonists of this series are the same elites that those characters were attempting to take out by any means necessary.

One of my favorite parts of Inside Job is the weirdness and quirkiness, whether it's the human-hybrids, the lizard people, assassins (like one who shot JFK, who is voiced by Alex Hirsch), or something else entirely. The animation, music score, and background art are superb as well, with all sorts of easter eggs linking to other shows and topics, for those who wish to delve deeper. Like the highly-enjoyable Disenchantment, drinking, alcoholism, and drug use are some of the show's themes. On the other hand, it is more comedic than Disenchantment, although its comedy isn't constructed in the same way as it is in shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks.

One of the funnier episodes is when they show all the people said to be reptilian, like Al Gore, Taylor Swift, Mark Zuckerberg, Guillermo El Toro, Ellen DeGeneres, Judge Judy, Anderson Cooper and so on. I chuckled a little when they made fun of the Jason Bourne series and how ridiculous it is, or the joke about the Bechdel test. The show references series like Stranger Things (set in the 1980s), Ghostbusters, Star Wars, The Terminator, The Goonies, Harry Potter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and E.T., along with Blockbuster, Jeff Bezos, and the James Bond films, to name a few references.

Inside Job has a better spy episode than anything that Q-Force could come up with and reminds me a little of a Phineas and Ferb episode, "Live and Let Dive," where the evil doctor has a lair, although Inside Job ups the ante to something that is even more hilarious than either one of those shows.

Similar to other shows, broken families and having friends are also themes featured in Inside Job. This is noted in the show's third episode, when the audience learns that Reagan's parents are divorced, with her mother writing erotic stories. Reagan tries to make sure she has a group of friends among her co-workers, so they all support her, no matter the mission they have to undertake, although Brett is the most loyal and supportive of them all. This happens when her social anxiety comes to the fore in the show's third episode, when she is told to hug people at a reptoid gala, while she remains socially inept, learning it is because of a robot her father invented. It also happens when she has relationship problems and attempts to get someone with toxic masculinity, and has issues with codependency.

Some fans have even speculated that Reagan might be autistic. Having someone who is socially awkward and anxious is not unique to Inside Job, though. Cleopatra, the protagonist of Cleopatra in Space, has ADHD, Luz Noceda, the bisexual Afro-Latina protagonist of The Owl House, is neurodivergent, and Entrapta, the socially awkward (and morally grey) sciencey princess, in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is autistic. In addition, Peridot, a non-binary Gem woman in Steven Universe has been described by some fans as autistic, since Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar said that none of the Gems in the series can be considered neurotypical.

Apart from Hirsch and Takeuchi, the others working on Inside Job are a talented bunch. They include animator Mike Hollingsworth, one of the show's executive producers, who was the supervising director of BoJack Horseman, Pete Mitchels, an animator who directed the first two seasons of Rick and Morty and episodes of Family Guy, and Chantal Hennessey, who was a supervising director for 24 episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Additionally, the series art director, Jeffrey M. Thompson, was an art director for Rick and Morty, and an animator and artist on Gravity Falls. Two of the show's animators, Andrew Bomo, the technical director, and Justin Schultz, worked on shows such as Harley Quinn, Invincible, Big Mouth, Onyx Equinox, Milo Murphy's Law, and DuckTales, to name a few. The opening theme is performed by Bronze, featuring BBRC, and is titled "Pa$$ the Time (Part 2)" while Ryan Elder and Steve Reidell are composers of the show's electronic music.

Inside Job seems to have been accepted relatively positively, including on the show's subreddit, which currently has over 800 subscribers, and has an official account with over 6,000 followers on Twitter, coupled with a fake website for Cognito, Inc. for interested fans. I expect there will be fanfiction as well, but currently, there is a good amount of fan art of Reagan, noting the show's references to other popular media. It is nothing like the documentary of the same name which focuses on the causes of the 2007-2008 global economic crisis. All in all, I am hopeful and optimistic that this show will be popular, although some people will undoubtedly sneer at it for one reason or another, probably the same people who dislike shows like Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, and the like. Currently, it has high marks on sites like Rotten Tomatoes.

The inside of Cognito, Inc. shown in the first episode

The second half of Inside Job's first season will presumably be ten episodes long since 20 episodes of the series were ordered in April 2019 by Netflix. This show is unique in its own way and despite its strange nature at times, the characters, especially the protagonist Reagan, are relatable. It is unlike any other show I've ever seen. It doesn't fall into the usual animated sitcom model that mature animations sometimes tend to end up in, which began with the premiere of The Simpsons in 1989, and bolstered by shows like South Park, Family Guy, and American Dad!, to name a few that fit into the sitcom format.

Inside Job has the themes of togetherness and chosen family, with Reagan telling Brett that she and the rest of their team are his "business family forever" while she temporarily reconnects with her dad after feeling, rightly, that he is a poor father, before learning his terrible secret, all while he gaslights her repeatedly. Her relationship with her father is toxic and seeped in deep-seated trauma, which affects her daily life, personality, and everything else, while serving at the center of the show itself. The series shares some similarities, on a very limited basis, in terms of locations, to Futurama, as the characters traveled to the Moon in that particular series, and some visual jokes, but that's about it, as Inside Job goes to darker places and confronts issues that Futurama didn't.

The story, which Hirsch described as Takeuchi's "hilarious bizarre fever dream of a show that could only come from her unique vision of the world" will undoubtedly continue with support from Netflix. Hirsch also said that since Inside Job is for adults "keep all them Disney-babies far away."

Caplan described the show rightly, saying it serves as a public service, "reminding us of a time where they [conspiracy theories] were niche and maybe reserved for a guy who lives in a cabin in the woods alone and not half the population" and joked she could get behind the lizard people conspiracy, while saying that the theories the show tackles are vintage but fun at the same time. She additionally praised her character as not falling into existing tropes or archetypes while lamenting that "it’s depressing where the modern conspiracy theories are going." I think all of us can agree with that, as some theories are downright dangerous, leading to death, violence, or whatnot.

In the second part of season 1, it would be wonderful to have openly queer characters in the main cast of Inside Job. The current episodes have some queer vibes, like the orgy of reptilians or how all of the team (including two who are male) have crushes/like Brett Hand. Additionally, Andre identifies as "always sexual" with men and women around him as shown in the show's fourth episode, the same episode which shows a polyamorous couple in the background. There are also the vibes between the British secret agent, Rafe Masters, and the nemesis in one episode, vibes that are clearly homoerotic and are over the top, parodying the James Bond spy films. The astronauts are drawn in by space sex. Glenn has sex dreams about everyone on the team.

As for Reagan, based on the interpersonal conflicts she has been a part of in the first part of Season 1, it seems that in future episodes she will have to face her dad, who has become an obstacle to her progress and moving up the ranks of Cognito, instead of any LGBTQ+ focus on her part. Even so, the series could have an episode where she meets someone, just as Bean did in Disenchantment or Ash in Final Space, who she connects with on a deeper level without taking away from her main arc, although I find that to be unlikely.

In any case, I would highly recommend Inside Job for its hilarity, quirkiness, uniqueness, strong animation, character development, and wild plots.

since I can't sleep I've been thinking of Christmas headcanons since it's almost that month ww

• you and Brett go all out with decorating the office!! and at first everyone's like???? it's not even December wtf but soon enough they get dragged in by puppy eyes and pout from you two. they'll all eventually get into the spirit and enjoy decorating

• ngl the office will probably look like a disaster to people outside of the group nshmsjk like, everyone has their own personal touch that they wanna add, whether it's for jokes or not. it's v chaotic but you wouldn't have it any other way<33

• the tree is huge btw, and it's absolutely covered in ornaments and tinsel

• Also!! going down to where Robotus is and decorating the basement!! at first both Reagan and Robotus are like?? what's the point???? but Robotus does appreciate it even if he doesn't admit it,, makes him feel included even if he isn't actually there

• like setting up fairy lights that change color, giving him his own tree, asking if there's anything he wants on the tree or what topper he wants

• convincing Reagan to give him Christmas movies to watch too!!

• omg you know that story where someone played what's new pussycat on a jukebox over and over with a different song in the middle??? Myc would do that and play all I want for Christmas is you on the speakers on repeat with one other Christmas song that plays after like 8 times. he's enjoying watching everyone go insane

• imagine walking by the office and just hearing "I don't want a lot for Christmas" and then everyone just collectively losing their shit hnshdkbd

• Glenn probably ends up breaking the speakers smnsksb everyone just sits there like,,, it's so quiet now,

• baking sugar cookies cut into Christmas shapes for the gang and bringing frosting and sprinkles so they can decorate them!!

• it either turns into a frosting war or a competition of who can decorate the best cookie ever. either way, wherever the decorating is happening, it won't stay clean

• also, the thought crossed my mind 'oh! what if they all baked together!!' and it seemed cute at first but then I realized that's a horrible idea shsnkdhk not just the kitchen, but the whole place would be a complete mess

• Brett comes in one day with a bunch of ugly sweaters that he picked for the group. at first everyone's like,, I don't wanna wear that, but he convinces them to, and they won't deny, he did a good job picking out sweaters for them

• getting presents for them is gonna be hard because Myc will absolutely try to read your mind and find out what you're getting everyone. everytime you're near him you have to distract yourself or actively think about other things

• he's teasing you like come onnn you know you wanna think about it~ it must be tiring thinking of all these other things~ just oneee little thought? I promise I won't tell<3

• I'm sure he doesn't care too much about Christmas, but he does appreciates the dedication you have to make sure what you got him stays a surprise. probably not a lot of people have done that

• spoiling everyone with presents!! they probably aren't used to it, or really done this with eachother (sure they've decorated the place a bit but not to this extent) so when they see presents under the tree they're like oh,,? we're supposed to get presents? and they start to! when Christmas arrives there's just a huge stack of presents for everyone

• always making sure everyone feels included and as happy as they can be

• like, I'm thinking,, I'm not sure about the others, but Brett and Reagan probably never really had a proper Christmas so like,,, I just wanna let them have a good, proper Christmas hmmgehrh,,,,,

#inside job x reader #brett hand x reader #andre lee x reader #gigi thompson x reader #glenn dolphman x reader #magic myc x reader #reagan ridley x reader #robotus x reader #after i wrote the all i want for Christmas is you headcanon #its been stuck in my head

Ooh ooh hello and hope you’re having an amazing day sweetheart 🖤 Anyway, if it’s okay for you I’d love to see your hcs of the gang listening their s/o’s comfort music with them, especially Andre he’s so precious to me (mine is Lana del Rey if that helps). Thank you so so much!!!

Okay I'm starting this off by saying I absolutely love your user lmfao

And I've been excited to do this one - it's such a sweet prompt ;-;

Hope you're doing great too love <3 Hope you enjoy these!

I also got a little help with Andre's from @nfxtuated when I mentioned this to her ;p

Below the cut! (For space reasons LOL)

Andre

Andre would for sure smoke before and/or while sitting down to join you

Being high sorta helps him to notice more about the songs and such? And he just tends to enjoy it a lot more that way

He definitely gets really into it too, humming along with it even if he doesn't know the song and he's terribly off key lmfao

He closes his eyes and sways side to side with this huge ass grin on his face, giggling and laughing, and if he knows the song he's singing along and dramatically acting some parts out to get a laugh out of you

And oh my god he totally wants to pull you into dancing with him

It's not at all good, and more often than not the two of you end up bumping into each other, but it's hilarious and fun as all hell

Just overall being goofy, having fun with you and enjoying your music, with lots of laughing and teasing and in the end leaves the both of you exhausted beyond belief, but happy and blissed tf out <3he both of you beyond exhausted but happy and blissed tf out <3

Definitely makes it into a regular thing bc the both of you enjoy it so much

And adds some of his favorites to his own list :) He likes how they remind him of you <33

Reagan

With Reagan it'd prolly end up being a bit more of a chill listening session?

Like deciding just to sit and listen to gether in her office while she goes through some papers/research, or maybe back at her place after a long day while yall unwind on the sofa

Just kinda sitting close to each other and (for the most part) quietly listening to whatever you choose, content in spending time with you and sharing in something you enjoy so much yknow??

At some point really does get more into the music though; kinda leaning back and giving it more thought than she was previously? Paying more attention to the beat/lyrics and so forth

If you end up singing/humming along she'll be grinning her ass off lmao

She's a terrible fucking singer, as we all know, but if you encouraged and pushed enough she would join you the best she could!

It's not good, but in a really fun kind of way; not really trying to make it sound great or get things perfect, just vibing and singing ur goddamn lungs out

Definitely would encourage you to come to her and listen with her more in the future, especially if you're just feeling overwhelmed?

May or may not make you a better pair of headphones/earbuds/speakers so you can enjoy yourself more <33

Brett

He's down the instant you mention it!!

This man, as lovely as he is, is honestly so fucking basic; listening mainly to like top 100 songs and doesnt have much variety besides whats popular/well known LOL

So teach him about some more music!! He's excited to see what kind of things you're into!!

Makes sure that you won't be interrupted at all while listening together, if it can be helped; at least for the first time, if not for the many times that surely follow

He knows it's important to you, so it's immediately very important to him too, and he makes sure you know that :)

He's also a big dancer, as we've also seen in the show haha

Starts with him just grinning and tapping his foot along with the music, to eventually getting up to goof and dance around as he gets more into it and the vibe of it

Doesn't matter if you join him or not, he's fuckin grooving and doing his best to make you smile and laugh and whatever possible to make it all the more enjoyable for you <3

(But yes, he would definitely adore if you decided to join him in all his dancing and goofing around)

Asks you to make him a playlist with your favorites, and just songs in general you want him to listen to!

He loves it and definitely ends up listening to it all the time; at some point possibly more than his own playlists lol

Gigi

Gigi’s actually pretty well-versed in music, so she’s one of the more likely to know whatever it may be that you decide to play

She’d love to sit down and listen to your music with you <3 any time you want to she’s down

Probably confines the both of you to her large ass office lol

I have no doubt in my mind either that she’d have some bomb ass speakers to listen through as well; super high quality and you can play as loud as you want (most walls in cognito are pretty sound proof, and its not like anyone’s going to try and complain even if they can hear it - they definitely should know better LOL)

Oh!! I feel like she’d probably offer her office as a safe space to listen to whatever, whenever as well? Doesn’t matter if she’s there or not; you’re her s/o and you’re damn well allowed to use it whenever you please

Keeps your music on file so it’s easy for you to get to <3

Is the type to absentmindedly start humming the songs? Just seems to have the on her mind, especially when she’s thinking of you (which is a lot)

Another who’s happy to goof around with you, if you’d like to, though she’d probably let you take the lead in anything

It's all about you after all <33

Glenn

Comfort music? Oh?

He definitely gets the concept and even probably has his own comfort music (not that he’d admit it in front of the others, at least lol), he just didn’t really have a name or anything to put to it before

He’d listen to your music with you, for sure! He may not be the best at understanding or getting into it, but as long as you like and are enjoying it he doesn’t care

Y’all can just hang out and do whatever it is you really like while listening!

Please teach him some different genres. Give this man some more variation lmfao. Everyone’s so tired of the constant patriotic songs

If you ask him to, he’ll listen to your music choices on his own as well!

He’ll end up finding that they end up becoming his comfort songs in a way as well?? Any time that he gets too riled up anymore, he finds himself going to them! Reminds him of you and when you listen to it together to just relax and chill out

Calms him a lot faster than most other things do, that’s for sure <33

He gets teased for it a lot and starts a lot of fights over it but it’s finnnneee anything for you

Myc

Myc’s prolly pretty nonchalant about it when you ask him to listen with you

Just like sure, why not? He has nothing better to do. and admittedly he’s a little curious as to what you listen to exactly, other than what he’s already heard and knows of

Take a lazy day to listen together :)

Fuck work, it’s more fun to hang out, listen to music with a ton of snacks and talk about whatever and fuck around

Despite how indifferent he was at first, he does end up enjoying it! It’s honestly more fun than he though it’d be

He teases you about your music taste from time to time but that’s just Myc for you <3 It’s honestly just his love language at this point, please try not to take any of it personally lol

Probably wouldn’t be to one to suggest it, but it’d be fun to make it into a monthly or even bi-weekly thing? Just a time to relax and listen to whatever new things you fnd (and occasionally what he finds, for fun and to mix things up a bit!)

He also doesn’t really listen to it much if at all outside of your sessions listening to it together? Almost sees it as a more low-energy bonding thing for the two of you haha <3

The Morning After

(Magic) Myc x GN!Reader

Content: Mentions of sex, but no explicit NSFW; non-committal reader finds themselves in Myc's bed after a night together, fluff ensues

Kinda short, but I'm just finishing this up after an all-nighter at 6am so... considering that, I think it turned out okay :)

Edit: Somewhat inspired by this post, thanks @cognitozclownz

You wake up entangled in several warm, squishy somethings. It takes a moment before you fully gain consciousness and realize that you passed out in Myc's bed last night after you'd gotten laid. This wasn't the first time the two of you had slept together, but usually you'd get up and shower afterward before heading back home. Myc complained a little the first time, but it had become a routine very quickly. You didn't want anything more from him than a friends-with-benefits sort of deal; not only was he kind of an asshole, but you always did terrible in relationships. They usually ended painfully, and you didn't want to risk losing Myc as a friend or have to deal with getting yourself hurt. He seemed to understand that, and so the two of you had been sleeping together for a couple months now, just relieving stress together.

Last night he was rougher than usual, however, and by the end of your tryst you could barely move due to exhaustion. You vaguely remembered him getting up and getting you a Gatorade and a heating pad before your eyes fell shut. That was sweet of him, you thought idly, glancing over at the nightstand to see the half-empty sports drink.

You felt his muscles tense and twitch against you, seconds later finding yourself pulled closer against him. As someone who made a conscious effort not to get attached to people, you were used to carefully scooting out of bed before a partner woke up, not wanting to have to say goodbye. You could see now, unfortunately, that wasn't going to be an option; you were ensnared by all six of the mushroom's surprisingly strong limbs, and you knew they wouldn't budge unless you woke him up.

Sighing quietly, you resigned yourself to the fate of having a conversation first thing in the morning and twisted yourself around in Myc's hold. He grumbled and loosened his grip a little, but once you were facing him he tightened his grasp once more. You couldn't help but stare at his sleeping form; you'd never seen him so peaceful, since you always left before he went to bed. And the silence, god, that was unheard of with him. His orb was dim, but you saw strange little flashes here and there that made you wonder if he was dreaming. His gills opened ever so slightly as he breathed, something that should've been obvious but that you never took the time to notice. As strange as he was, Myc really was a beautiful creature when you took the time to look at him.

Without realizing it, your hand had come to find its way to his orb, feeling the odd, slick texture of it that somehow never made your hands wet. Another flash went through the orb, and slowly but surely it began to glow a little brighter. Another tired groan and some mumbling came from the orb, lighting it up baby pink, and within the next minute a heavy, tired sigh blew out of Myc's gills.

It seemed to take him a moment to register the situation, and you couldn't blame him. You knew Myc wasn't big on mushy stuff or commitment either, so to be waking up next to someone in the morning must be relatively uncommon for him, too. You continued stroking the side of his orb, noting how his limbs went almost rigid around you. When he didn't speak, you almost thought he'd gone back to sleep, but the tenseness of his body told you otherwise.

"Morning," you said awkwardly, letting your hand fall to the pillow in between the two of you. Almost automatically, a single tentacle let go of your waist and instead wormed its way up to lay on top of your hand.

"Hey," he replied, in a voice so soft you almost didn't recognize it. It immediately made your heart skip a beat; why did he sound like that? Was he just tired? Another limb came to rub up and down your shoulder fondly, and you felt the fluttering of butterflies in your stomach. It had been a while since someone had touched you as gently as that.

"Sorry," you said suddenly, not knowing why you said it. "For falling asleep here last night, I mean."

"You don't gotta be sorry for that," Myc said incredulously, recoiling ever so slightly. "I told you before that you could stay as long as you want."

"Right, yeah, but..." You paused, shifting uncomfortably in his grasp. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry."

"Stop apologizing," he commanded, and you fell silent, looking down as his tentacle firmly grasped your hand. There was a slight lull in the softness of the moment, but somehow you found yourself feeling a little less embarrassed the longer Myc held you. You got the feeling he was doing the same thing you'd been doing, studying your features as he slowly rubbed up and down your arm, and you felt a little shy. "You don't have to clam up around me, you know."

You huffed a laugh, knowing he could see right through you. "I'm not used to this," you said, sliding your thumb up and down the tentacle in your hand. "You know, the whole..."

"Yeah, whatever this is," he finished, sighing again. "The mushy crap."

"I can go, if you want," you offer, already knowing by the way he squeezed your hand what his answer would be.

"No, stay," he said, sounding slightly petulant. You snickered and smiled up at him, and the limb that had been on your arm before came up to touch your cheek. It stayed there for a few seconds before he mumbled, "You're gorgeous like this."

You felt your face heat up under his touch, and you knew this was going somewhere you weren't sure how to handle. Not knowing what else to say, you reply, "You're just saying that."

"Yeah, I am just saying that," he snarked, "and I'm just meaning it, too. Just take the compliment, you know I don't give 'em out very often."

You laughed shyly, looking back down at your hands. "Well, thanks," you say, letting yourself relax a little. You decided then that whatever happened in the next few moments happened, and that you'd have no regrets. Without allowing yourself to think on the consequences, you blurted, "I like you."

Myc remained silent, though he didn't seem tense. His tentacle remained coiled around your hand, another still resting on your cheek. You realized the latter was glowing a pretty pink, meaning he was sifting through your thoughts, but you allowed it just this once. You trusted him more than enough as a friend, and you felt safe in his arms even now, naked and vulnerable, knowing that if he wanted he could see you for everything you ever were or had been as he looked through your mind.

The glow of his tentacle faded; you wondered if he had found what he was looking for. "I did," he said, confirming your silent question. "Wanted to see if you really meant that."

"You don't trust me?"

"I don't trust human brains," he replied. "I've been around long enough to know that even when people think they mean something, their subconscious can be saying something different. Not your fault, just how humans work."

You glared at him for a moment, but decided to let it slide. "And what did my subconscious say?"

He tilted himself forward, pulling you closer until his orb rested gently against your forehead. "A lot of stuff," he mumbled, poking at your cheek. "You think too much."

You scoffed. "Yeah, tell me about it."

You knew that if he could smile, he would. "Well, I regret to inform you that you're right," he teased. "You do like me."

"And what do you think about that?" You held onto his limb tightly, hoping you hadn't ruined anything.

"I once again regret to inform you that I might feel the same," he said, resuming his soft touches on your arm. Your face lit up, and you couldn't help a giddy giggle.

"You mean it?"

He hugged you closer. "Yeah," he confirmed, petting your hair. "Now can we go back to sleep?"

Genuinely thinking about getting tag teamed by Myc and Andre. Or Myc laying one of their tentacles on readers head, and reader just grabs it and starts playing with it, completely unaware that it’s actually an erroneous zone. They’re just messing with it and Myc is going through a very interesting time.

EEEHEHEHE >:) <3333 ok this is an old ask but the idea of getting Tag Teamed by Myc and Andre is WRACKING my brain rn. so. IM GONNA RUN W/ THAT <3333 TYSM TYSM TYSM-

NSFT!!! minors go away!! Possible tw for Drugs (Myc and his Weird Psychoactive Gunk)

GRGRKGKRKG,,,, options,,, choices,, hgrnurngunrnrugnrungung p e n i s

oh so they’re gonna corrupt you

THEY’RE GONNA CORRUPT YOU SO BAD!!!! WORSE THAN YOU EVER COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED!!!

I feel like getting tag-teamed by them is almost inevitable if you’re getting w/ one of them. They’re sort of a package deal. Bare minimum, it’ll be suggested over coffee once or twice

it usually starts out as,, just one of them??

individually they are such GRABBY BASTARD SMDSND + they’re literally ready to fuck,, whenever.

this does mean that if one of them catches you two fucking, the other one will ABSOLUTELY JOIN IN <333 COME ON

HM LETS SEE

Handcuffs aren't necessary when one of your fuck buddies has 6 arms <3

TRULY IF YOU WANNA BE PINNED, MYC WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE.

It’s easy for most people to forget, but his tentacles are strong. Rope strong. He could keep you pinned in any manner of positions for a senselessly long time without breaking a sweat.

You need your legs up, so that Andre can get that One Specific Angle that turns your brain into jelly? ‘Don’t worry babe, I’ve got ya covered’

OR EVEN. LIKE.

Two tentacles for the arms, two for the legs, two for any assorted holes that Andre may be incapable of filling <3 or even just if,, he wants to get you extra squirmy. You can take two, right?

It’s also super efficient bc. Yeah Andre fucks kinda sloppy, and has a tendency to accidentally move y’all around with his thrusting. (mm. you’ve accidentally bumped your skull on the headboard a few times MNSDMS)

SO!! It’s nice to have Myc there to,, keep you two stuck in place <3

ALSO TANGENT BUT. Two things I feel like Myc would love is :

Stuffing one of his tentacles in there w/ his dick, along with some comment about how ‘maybe if his dick wasn’t so scrawny, I wouldn’t have to ;)’

Wrapping a tentacle or two around Andre’s hips, and fucking you for him. This is especially good when Andre starts losing energy <3 Myc can easy hold his wiry ass up, so he basically just uses him as a Very Loud, Giggling Dildo <333

ALSO THESE BOYS ARE INCAPABLE OF SHUTTING UP

Each individually is extremely vocal + chatty during sex. Both of them combined is torment (affectionate)

They’re absolutely shameless. Any comments that come to the surface will be said.

Also don’t be surprised if they pull some ''Good-Cop-Bad-Cop'' shit, with one of them degrading you and the other praising you.

Laying against Andre's body, feeling his hands dig into your thighs to keep you still, while Myc tests the limit of just how stretchy human holes are?? Your poor cock-addled brain is gonna be absolutely flooded with their rambling.

It's all very 'Je-sus, aren't you an overachiever. Three deep and you're still lookin' for more, huh?'

'aww hehe, look at how well they’re doing!

'Aw, you're always spoiling em! If they can get a fourth one in, then maybe we can start talkin' about 'good' '

etc, etc, ad nauseum, carpet diem, you get the drill. They're little bastards who like the sound of their own voices MSNDMSNDMSN

OH AND ANDRE WILL,, 1000% JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE VIEW WHILE MYC HAS HIS FUN SMNSMDN

There’s something very stimulating to just,, having an outside view of the action. You and Myc being completely undone, while he’s able to be,, a Calm and Collected Outside Observer is EXTREMELY RARE FOR ANDRE SMNSMD

It’s definitely not an Always thing, just an Occasional thing.

Getting different angles?? talking back-and-forth w/ Myc, while his tentacles fuck you open like he’s drilling for oil? Absolute perfection.

He’s not always gonna be a Pair Of Needy Eyes In The Corner Of The Room, though, he does sometimes like getting closer to the action!!

LIKE I can totally see him sitting on the bed beside y’all while Myc has his fun. Just,, lazily kissing your cheek every once and a while, loosely jacking himself off. Maybe a bit of wisecracking <33

granted, you don’t remember much of it bc. After the third tentacle your brain kinda goes a little squirmy, but the thought is sweet nonetheless <3

ADDITIONAL MISC STUFF??

Myc being into bukkake + Andre being a little freak (adoring) means that you will be coated in fluids of several origins. The bath afterwards is magical tho so it's worth it

OHO getting railed (anally) by Myc feels a bit like a Very Horny Colonoscopy. If you ask, those puppies will go deep. like,, deep deep. Like 'oh my god, it feels like you're in my throat' deep.

and,, yeah usually that wouldn't be all that pleasant, but the Delightful, Stimulating Properties that his tentacle goo evokes turns the experience Transcendental.

Your entire torso feels kinda,, tingly and sensitive and full?? every time he shifts, it feels like he’s hitting alllll the spots you need at once. He says its something about the psychoactive properties, but you’re too fucked out to really care <3

he’s also super gentle - even if his tendrils are super slick and blunt, he doesn’t want to accidentally hurt you. He’s a jerk, sure, but he’s not an asshole.

[and,, yeah those are definitely the times Andre takes a bit more of a back-seat role. Lots of praise n' giggling. He just lays back and runs his hands along your body, maybe even against your stomach-intestine area to enjoy the way Mycs tendrils make your stomach bulge]

Was possessed by the spirit of Tentacle Porn (tm) SMDNSMDN I COULD GO ON ABOUT THESE TWO FOR CENTURIES, BUT I'LL LEAVE THIS HERE <333 MWAH THIS WAS SO FUN, THANK YOU SO DEARLY!!!

#*gestures have this*#GOD I FORGET HOW WEIRD ANSWERING ASKS FEELS AFTER NOT DOING IT IN A WHILE SMDNS #ik I promised to be insufferable </3 but I was shy so you get my insufferability (???) now MSNDMASNDM #nsft #minors dni #myc #andre lee #magic myc #andre lee x reader #magic myc x reader #inside job #inside job x reader #NSABDSNBDNASBD #*hannibal lecter voice* hello anise #anise if u read this. haha loser get tentacled.#GOD AND YOU KNOW ANDRE WOULD MAKE SOME DUMB JOKE LIKE 'aww the baby's kicking!' when mycs tendrils bulge your stomach #downside of it would also be. ur gonna be LEAKING FLUID FOR DAYSSS SMDNSMDN. THE MESS IS SO RIDICULOUS

Mwahaha me again because im greedy! >:333 could i ask for a ship? My name is El i prefer they/she peonouns, i am fat and short hahaha. I'm a digital artist who neverr habe motivation, mainly always playing video games. I have pale as skin, brown hair with bangs and a messy style, turquoise eyes, i dress gothic when i actually try ahhah. Aside from my dark apperanc my entire room is pink and i adore cutsey things and act basically like pinkie pie, Mabel, spinel, and sarah lynn is a great way to describe my personality. Though i am a bit bojackey as well. I am borederline, and usually "self medicate" hahha. So uh yeah, sorry for bombarding you!

I ship you with Myc!

You didn’t include a specific orientation so I just went with who you were interested in from your previous ask

- I ship you two not just because of how you can bond over “self medication” but for a bunch of reasons. Mainly being the height difference and how he’d enjoy wrapping his various appendages around you whenever he could, not just for figuring out what you were thinking but to feel you close, psuedo—arms all over you.

- I think at first he wouldn’t know what to think of you with your gothic style and the darker clothing and appearance, and how your personality differed greatly with how bright and bubbly and sweet you could be. Myc found it amusing and would tease you endlessly about it and how cute you were with the dichotomy of dark style and bright personal life and personality.

- he’d be the type to try and encourage or inspire you to draw but just likes to hang out with you, whatever it is, even if it’s him hovering over your shoulder watching you make art or playing video games with you and throwing his controller when you kick his ass in Mario Kart, again.

This isn't a The Magicians au. this is a The Magicians non-au, but let me just theorize and throw out some ideas on what kind of disciplines of magic would each of the house team would be classed as / what their specialty may lie. since i've also restarted The Magicians cause I'm getting Myc ( @trans-james-wilson ) to watch the magicians, and i love that dark modern fantasy setting a lot despite s4 and s5.

under the cut i will provide an breakdown of the disciplines in universe, if you don't know the magicians

there will be a part two post, with the actual stuff about house, but just thinking about not an actual au of the magicians but house md, but just house md using the magic logic of the magicians universe. you'd think that cause they are all doctors, they'd fall under healing magic, but where's the fun in that? so that's why i'm gonna sort them as if they all aren't directly in healing magic as their discipline

Part 1 of Izzy's Non-AU Magicians House MD

Disciplines are the individual variations of Magicians' magical aptitude, or their affinity for a specific strain of magic.

There are 6 Umbrella Disciplines within The Magicians universe that Magicians are tested for.

All Magicians can use any school of magic, but theri discipline is something that is innate and specially powerful to them (they are a natural at, it's their speciality)

PHYSICAL MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Repair of Small Objects, Mending, Telekinesis, Phosphoromancy, Cryomancy, Pyromancy, Flight, and more etc etc Accredited as the rarest of Disciplines, Physical Magic is centered around the ability to manipulate the nature and properties of matter and energy and is seen as messy and crude. Physical Magic is the magical discipline centered around the ability to manipulate the nature and properties of matter and energy. The many disciplines that branch from this group allow Magicians to manipulate heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, gravity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.

PSYCHIC MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Traveling, Astral Projection, Telepathy, Mind Control, Memory Magic, Dream Manipulation, Precognition, Premonition, Object Possession, and more etc etc Magicians with Disciplines in Psychic Magic are aptly referred to as Psychics and possess telepathic, empathic, and prophetic abilities. Psychic Magic is a discipline relating to, affecting, and influenced by the mind. Magicians with an affinity for this Discipline are capable of extraordinary mental processes, such as extrasensory perception, astral projection, and telepathy.

ILLUSIONS MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Camouflage, Mirror Magic, Invisibility, Projections, Sensory Manipulation, Vanishing, and more etc etc Disciplines in Illusions allow Illusionists to create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. They are capable of cloaking, invisibility, and projections that make the CIA look like amateurs, and are widely known as great liars. Illusion is a magical discipline regarding the creation of powerful and very vivid illusions, able to stimulate and fool the five natural senses.

HEALING MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Injury treatment, Endocrinology, Podiatry, Exorcism, Curse Analysis, Crystals, Potions, and more etc etc Magicians with disciplines in Healing are referred to as Healers, a title akin to "doctor", and are credited with creating some of medicine’s greatest advancements such as the cures for polio and smallpox vaccines, erectile dysfunction medication, and the invention of xray technology. Healing is a magical discipline devoted to improving the physical and mental condition. There are many different disciplines in this branch of magic that have a variety of effects. Magicians who specialize in this area of magic are known as Healers. (especially click the link for healing on this one, because the lore of healing magic links cancer to the part of the soul and is why it can't be cured and there's a whole lore/plot related to that)

KNOWLEDGE MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Meta-Composition, Horomancy (possibly), Circumstantial Prognostication (possibly), and more etc etc The Knowledge disciplines are a combination of Physical and Psychic disciplines, and involve exploring magical theory. Knowledge students are drawn, mind and body, to the discovery of magic, primarily dealing with the deepening and discovery of magical knowledge as a whole.

NATURAL MAGIC

Disciplines within this Discipline: Herbology, Botany, Plant Manipulation, Weather manipulation, and more etc etc The strains of Natural Magic disciplines focus on the manipulation and development of the environment through the use of magic. Naturalists are very grounded and poised to harness the Earth’s innate power, making them capable of cultivating plants with magical properties. Possibly linked to the manipulation of fauna as well.

OTHER DISCIPLINES

Horomancy is the magical discipline that uses clockwork to manipulate magic to various effects, including manipulating time, shifting probability fields, as well as traveling across alternate realities.

Secrets Magic is an arcane magical Discipline that deals with the internal Circumstance of truth.

Quaeromancy is the magical ability of dowsing, or the ability to locate lost or hidden objects with ease

Luck

Battle Magic
