Reverse Engineering the OIAR Tagging System: Part 2
I've had another look at things and I have managed to create a more concrete theory for how the tags work, though at this stage I would be very surprised if it were all correct.
A reminder for the unfamiliar- every TMAGP statement comes with a long code, consisting of a CAT (category?), R (rank? - two statements do not have this), a four digit number which seems to be totally random, and the dates of both the statement's origin, and when the episode is set.
I've created this theory by identifying patterns between the CAT and R values and the themes, characters and dates of the statements. It is clear we need some more statements to be sure, so I will update this as new episodes come in. That said, here is my theory.
CAT = Is the Monster an External and/or Being Actively Taken Advantage of by the OIAR?
CAT 1 = Yes. CAT 2 = No, but there are plans to acquire it. CAT 3 = No, and there are no plans to acquire it. CAT 23 = The monster possesses some special quality which the OIAR would like to take advantage of, but currently has no means to do this (hence making it both a CAT 2 and 3 in a sense).
Our only confirmed external, Mr Bonzo, is a CAT 1. The two other CAT 1s are monsters that could very well function as OIAR assassins. Granted, Needles seems to be killing for his own pleasure and seems very ‘green’. BUT- how in the living hell did he murder a man on the streets of London and it wasn’t national news? Maybe, just maybe, Needles was recruited as a result of that incident and the OIAR pulled strings to clean up his mess. Additionally, two of the CAT 1s are delivered literally days before we learn of them. One is older but refers to Bonzo, who we know for a fact is still active. The other was delivered in May 2022. All these statements are live matters, referring to beings who are almost certainly still out there making body counts.
Moving down to the lower rankings, the current CAT 2s are plant guy, Vouyer, the charity shop volunteers and the backrooms service station. These are all statements that leave huge question marks. None of them are delivered by a primary source. They are all 1-15 year old statements. This could mean the OIAR is trying to locate the beings within the statement to potentially take advantage of them, but have not yet tracked them down.
The current CAT 3s are InkSoul, the violin guy, and the bone dice guy. Violin and dice guy are both dead, and the dice were presumably lost in the destruction of the Magnus Institute. It’s clear why the OIAR wouldn’t be interested in them. Now what about InkSoul? Well there are a number of reasons why the OIAR would not want to recruit them. Maybe their power is not reliable? After all, it seemed the effect they had on their victim in the statement was linked to her being an artist. Maybe they’ve already tried to recruit InkSoul and it didn’t go well. Or maybe InkSoul has become inactive since the statement in 2022.
Now, what about CAT 23? I’m really not sure about this one (there are only two CAT 23s so far, one of which is the Red Canary statement) so my theory here is a stand-in. I previously suggested CAT 23 could refer to dimensional cracks and it’s possible that is also the case. It could be that CAT 23 IS the ‘Magnus Protocol’, and that ‘Magnus’ doesn’t specifically mean ‘pertaining to the Magnus Institute’ but ‘pertaining to the Magnus Institute or similar known cracks in reality, of which the Magnus Institute is the one we know most about’. It could be that the OIAR has an active interest in manipulating dimensional cracks but hasn’t yet figured out how, and CAT 23 is created to reflect this.
R = How Useful is this Monster to the OIAR?
A = Frighteningly powerful, possibly equivalent in its impact to the rituals. AB = Between A and B value. B = Pretty useful, but not going to massively improve the OIAR's position by itself. BC = Between B and C value. C = Not especially useful for the OIAR's purposes. Unranked = Value either not investigated or pending investigation. We have no Rank As thus far, and the only rank AB, the Red Canary statement, is widely believed by fans to be the most crucial piece of the puzzle so far to the wider mystery. I believe the first rank A statement is going to be truly massive.
Current Rank Bs include Bonzo and Needles, as well as the bone dice and the Voyuer movie. Bonzo is a known OIAR assassin and as above, Needles very well could be/could become one if the OIAR wanted that for him. However, they can't exactly take down society. Equally, the dice and the movie have limitations that only allow them to target one person at a time - the dice only affect the person who rolls them and the movie relies on only having one audience member to customise itself for.
The Rank Cs are, so far, just the charity volunteers and the ship tattoo. I admit this may be the weakest part of the theory as it's not clear how these two are 'useless', especially if CAT 23 means what I theorise above. Maybe Rank Cs are useful to study but not important to the main goals of the OIAR, whatever they be.
The two unranked statements are the plant guy and the violin. The violin statement could be unranked because it is just that old, and the plant guy could be unranked for a number of reasons. Maybe he is CAT 2 because the OIAR want to study him, but they don't actually have a use for the anomaly that sired him.
Conclusion
As you can see there are various weaknesses to the theory and I would be very surprised if it turns out to be entirely right. The biggest gap right now is the rank C/unranked theories which are not entirely apparant why they're so low. If Protocol is anything like Archives, almost all these monsters will be revisited, so reasons for their placements could still be revealed to us. I am fairly certain the OIAR already knows more about most of them than is let on. I will revisit this theory as more information becomes known.

May I introduce my Space Rangers AU, just a teeny tiny bit?
At least- some initial doodles including some designs for it-
While there are a lot of other characters that have fun designs and backstories for this au, these four (+ Rusty) are the main focus for now-
They're space experiments, escapees from A.F.O (not the person), an organisation that experiments and tries to create perfect beings using solar and lunar energy extracted from suns and moons!
Tumblr media
Brief character info:
PL:
Was stolen as a child from Earth and experimented on, ended up busting out and saving a bunch of the other kids.
Took them to Yuuei (a built up safe haven for all, home of the space rangers)
Ended up going on some adventures with Ecto, who was now his best friend that would tag along with anything.
Became a ranger captain and eventually built a crew with Ecto
They accept odd jobs and commissions, no matter the manner of them, and get money through them (+occasionally thieving things)
He ends up rescuing and breaking out more experiments from different A.F.O bases, and takes them to Yuuei for safety.
Rescued Rusty, who was in the animal space trade, and now looks after him and treasures him.
Hes about 70% space rock and metal and random alien blood at this point-
Loves to visit earth to get the snacks there.
Ecto:
Was a royal from a planet with constantly shifting gravity, so his body allows him to just kinda switch his own sense of gravity around if that makes sense-
(he can just vibe on the ceiling whenever he wants lol)
Also has this shadowy bone demon that lives within him/as part of him.
Got stolen and his planet kinda got wiped out, and off he went to go get experimented on.
He was supposed to be 'scrapped' but survived bc of Higari.
They made friends with each other when still young, Higari saved Ecto from being killed and he helped him break out.
Ever since then, he stuck with him and became a ranger with him (also ended up falling for him and becoming a huge mess about it)
He really likes the sweets that Higari gets him from Earth.
Tsunagu:
From an ancient civilisation that is now long gone, his entire kind was wiped out after him and a other kids got stolen by A.F.O.
Was part of the original experiments carried out by the actual AFO(person) before Tsunagu kinda went rogue, killed him, destroyed the original base and fled.
He is OLD as fuck.
He would qualify as a "royal" but wouldn't use that title, as within his civilisation they were all perceived as noble beings.
He can shapeshift, never shows his natural form due to insecurities with how he was experimented on, and trust issues.
The experiment on him went VERY wrong, and he was accidentally injected with the Solar energy of an ancient Celestial Solar Being :]
It inhabits his being and goes rogue sometimes. It is searching for its "Home", which happens to be its other half - an ancient lunar being <3
He is dangerous and grouchy as hell, but has a sense of humour deep down.
Also met Higari and his crew by being broken out of jail by him and now constantly relies on him to break him out of jail. Very often.
He's a captain of his own ship and crew.
Shinya:
Was stolen from earth quite a long time ago as a baby and not only experimented on, but raised by the scientists.
He was brainwashed and all that jazz to become one of their "higher functioning mercenaries".
He aided in their schemes and killing for quite the long time until he was sent on a mission out to earth.
This didn't go well, and he ended up losing all of his memory to do with A.F.O and space and only knew the information he was given to fit in: "Shinya Kamihara, age 33, scientist and medic for space exploration"
He came back out to space on an expedition and it went wrong, he got stranded with important dangerous stuff, and eventually gets helped by Higari and his crew and meets Tsunagu.
The rest is all a very long plot. He has to find out who he was and is.
He has hidden markings from his experiment mercenary days, and only certain circumstances/equipment/technology can reveal it.
He also, mirroring Tsunagu's predicament, is the host for the Celestial Lunar Being that is searching for it's home.
:)
Rusty:
The Bestest Boy
Is a Space Travelling Dinosaur
He is small, very huggable, and likes to eat seeds and nuts and occasionally anything else thats handed to him.
Rescued by Higari from being traded in the space trade.
He can blow lil sparkly galaxy bubbles from his nose-beak-thing, and step on them if he wants to.
He is The Best Space Ranger.

do i even wanna know what the 7y!wilbur au is
my tag for seven years AU is right here -- there's a lot that's been uh gatekept a little bit but it's an AU i have with bubbles @judgehangman that's well . it's funny it's fucked up it's canon a little bit to the left but also upside down. feel free to ask me abt it any time tho i am ALWAYS always down to talk about AUs always they just run around in my head all day
here's a post outlining the timeline of major events -- it's a bit scuffed, i did the math really quickly, but it gets the job done. and here's an ask bubbles answered about the original situation that created this whole thing in the first place.
the tl;dr of the 7y AU has a lot to do with the stupid nonsense that is traditional for this fandom. Basically, based on something cc!wilbur said about how he originally envisioned the ages of different characters in L'manburg way back in ye olden days of uhh honestly i forget--2021, i think, cc!Wilbur had commented on how in his original envisonment of L'manburg, c!Wilbur was in his early 30s, c!Fundy was 14, and c!Tommy and c!Tubbo were both around 20. Of course, the fandom being the fandom, they took the math of "c!Fundy is 14" to backdate c!Tommy as being nine during the L'manburg war of independence, and this was naturally used to create all sorts of c!tommy angst yadayadayada (while somehow everyone managed to forget that uh if this timeline holds true then ? it would also apply to the rest of the characters that Aren't L'manburg????)
it turned into this thing where people would say "tommy was NINE in the l'manburg revolution and he was BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED by dream smp the TRAUMA" etc and that in itself led to "tommy was nine" being a bit of a meme. of course, being the way that i am, i started down a rabbit hole of taking "tommy was nine" to its logical extreme--and you know, sooner or later bubbles and i ended up with this monstrosity and its like five branching alternate timelines, awesome
the basic premise of the AU is very, very simple. tommy was nine during the revolution, dream was 14, wilbur was 25. the events on the dream smp that take place between wilbur's joining the server and creating the drug van to november 16th, a space of a few months irl, all end up being spread out over seven years of time in this AU--hence its name. bc of the nature of its creation it's an AU with an interesting relationship with both fanon and canon, playing off of and taking elements from both in interesting ways. and also there's c!dreambur.
it's fun :)

🎼 4t2 simmify music nook by myshunosun 🎸
happy friday! here is a wonderful set by @myshunosun, perfect for any sim but especially those with an affinity for music. 
i learned a lot converting this set, from tackling my demons (slots), to adjusting the footprint, to finally adding shadows, to figuring out how to make the guitar amp invisible. speaking of the guitar, it’s cloned from crispsandkerosene’s acoustic guitar, which requires argon’s hack. the storage unit is cloned from thimblesims’ dawn living storage unit c. it has 8 slots, so i just duplicated the top middle slot to make up for it. i found if you want to add two stack of LPs on the bottom of the storage unit like shown above, its best to turn them around. it won’t flicker when moving the camera that way for some reason. that should be it, enjoy! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
files are compressed. polycount under the cut.
UPDATE 9/14/22: fixed meshes so you don’t have to find the sweet spot lmao. also fixed the mesh texture on the plant to be black (bc i had pink twice and barely found out myself). also resized the record player by like 1cm shh.
UPDATE 9/16/22: Fixed the storage unit from the first fix, oops!

Story: Cascadia Bound
Tumblr media
https://www.deviantart.com/c-allure/gallery/76797380/cascadia-bound-chapters Cascadia Bound is an original work in progress and in its infancy. The style of writing I have chosen for this story is meant to mimic serialized cartoon shows, through episodic chapters.
Set in a fictional pacific northwest nation of Cascadia, a place where the unknown goes to play. Once internet friends Payje Hoffman and Wynn Li move in together at Wynn's mother's home in Vancouver, BC, Cascadia. Despite college being the reason they came together; the world of the supernatural has different plans and crosses their paths with a curious nomadic girl, Cassie De La Cruz. By tagging along with the two young adult friends, she keeps the strange underbelly of Cascadia relevant in their lives, even if they aren't all that interested.

[SVT Imprinted] Chan: 'What if Bomi didn’t kill Hyojin’ spin-off headcanon
@minluvly​​ asked: A spin off when Areum finds out about Chan in "what if Bomi didn't kill Hyojin"(deadass my keyboard autocorrected it tho HYUNjin) and its like her trying to move on ((bc like when Im imagining that i usually think like she goes to SKZ's apartment, Hao tells her, she goes hysterical, drives off, goes to the house, finds him dead and just break down bc she "Just gave him a chance," amd "just accepted" him at the time so shes also apologizing to him bc she rejected him so many times and now shes lost him and icm KTJAKFJSJFJSJFJDJD
Tumblr media
a/n: obviously this is set in the universe of bomi not killing hyojin so it’s very heavy and very sad and there’s a lot of people dead and basically read at your own risk. also i debated on if i wanted this to be an actual like fic or a headcanon buuuuut i went with a headcanon like the original. ALSO ALSO does it hurt more if i say i was listening to the ghost of you by mcr while writing this lmao
Characters: Chan x oc / Seventeen x ocs
**WARNINGS: major character death (chan’s dead and a few other members were killed as well as some ocs. it’s all in the other headcanon so if you didn’t read that none of this will make sense), mentions of murder and suicide, implied suicide, mentions of blood and guts, mentions of guns and being shot and bullet wounds, if i missed anything please lmk!!!
Tag list: @psshwa @uglyratlmao @brokenbutchocolate @shra-vasti @killcomet @brattybunfornct @shuabby1994 @henloiamaweirdobye @anissanightyoung @aceofvernons @minluvly @honeyylin @miki-chi @heemingyu @babyminghao @noraehey​ (if you’d like to be added to the tag list please fill out this form!)​
Imprinted Masterlist
a few members of the pack stared down at Chan’s phone on the table as it keeps vibrating
nobody wanted to pick it up because they see the photo of Chan and Areum lighting up the phone with Areum’s contact name above it
they wanted to cry seeing how happy he looked
how alive he was
“what do we do?” Jun asked, his eyes unable to leave the phone
the older pack members -- and Bomi -- were still outside as they tried to...clean up without sobbing
Bang Chan, Changbin, and Elsie were on their way to help out while the rest of the pack was waiting at Aeri’s for the mates of Seungcheol’s pack to arrive
but they heard a phone vibrating from the pocket of Chan’s jeans where he’d left them by the door, and now they were left with the task of figuring out what to even say to Chan’s mate
meanwhile at home, Areum’s left in the dark
she has no idea what’s going on as she continues to get ignored and eventually sent to voicemail
what the hell is this bad feeling in the pit of her stomach? 
why does her heart feel like it’s shattered into pieces?
“pick up, pick up, pick up,” she kept chanting as she called over and over and over
the tenth time she’s sent to voicemail, she tries calling Seungcheol
no answer
Minghao
“...Areum?”
she let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding
“Minghao, is Chan okay?” rushed out of her mouth
Minghao’s driving and gripping the steering wheel so hard he hears it start to crack a little, so he had to physically make himself let up a little bit
tears start filling his eyes again and he sniffles
god, he has to tell her
he has to tell his best friend that her boyfriend was killed
“A-Areum, I-I--”
his voice breaks and Areum’s heart sinks
“Minghao, what happened?” she demanded
“J-Jinsoo-- Areum, we-- Nobody c-could stop it--”
“Jinsoo...?”
“Hyojin a-and Jinsoo and-- And their pack-- Th-they got Aya and J-Jihoon and Jaehee-- Jinsoo, he--”
Minghao was just sobbing through words that Areum could hardly piece together, her blood running cold as she processed what he was saying
“Chan tried to get him, Areum,” he whimpered. “H-he went for him after he got Jihoon, b-but-- B-but he-- A-Areum--”
Areum heard another male voice on the phone trying to tell Minghao to breathe. she heard two shaky breaths before Minghao choked out a sentence that made her legs turn to jelly
“Areum... He...sh-shot Chan...”
she fell to her knees, gripping the phone for dear life
she held it to her ear as if she heard wrong and maybe pressing it closer to her ear would make the sentence change and be something else
“W-what...?” she barely whispered
“I’m so sorry, Areum,” Minghao was sobbing again
he felt guilty somehow, like one of them could’ve prevented it, but there wasn’t anyone could’ve done differently
he almost felt guilty he was alive but Areum had her mate ripped away from her
her brain was going a million miles a minute
she was experiencing all the stages of grief within seconds of each other and it was overwhelming
the only one she wasn’t experiencing was acceptance
there was no way Chan was dead, right?
he couldn’t be, he was fine this morning
she just accepted him; she just started letting herself fall for him, how the fuck could he just be...gone?
she heard shuffling on the phone and then a new but familiar voice
“Areum,” Hansol spoke surprisingly calmly, but she heard him sniffle, “go straight to Aeri’s, okay? We’ll--”
“No,” she interrupted almost instinctively.
“No? Areum--”
“I have to see him,” she stated. “He can’t... I have to.”
“Areum, do not go to the house,” Hansol ordered. “You can’t--”
“He can’t be gone!” she cried. 
“Areum, please don’t do anything stupid,” he begged. When she didn’t say anything, he asked, “Areum?”
“Areum?”
“Areum!”
the phone was left on the floor because she knew her phone would get spammed or they’d track her or whatever
she had to go to the house and see for herself
she needed to know this was some misunderstanding or some really fucked up prank that she’d argue with Chan and the pack about later
she got into the car and drove
she was in a trance the whole time, her mind swimming as she drove on autopilot
somehow she hadn’t cried yet, but maybe it was because everything felt fake
Chan wasn’t dead, he couldn’t be dead
at the pack house, hearing the sound of a car door, Wonwoo went around to the front to see who it was
but then the scent hit him and he ran to stop Chan’s mate from seeing the scene in the backyard
especially because Chan was still laying in the grass as they waited for his body to slowly shift back
but somebody had beat him to it
a dark colored wolf came running from the trees and barreled over to Areum, blocking her path
she gasped and stumbled back a bit, but then looked at the wolf angrily
“Hao, move,” she demanded
when Hansol couldn’t get an answer from you, Minghao knew what you were going to do, and he refused to let you go do something stupid
he pulled over, told Hansol to take over, and raced for the forest to beat you to the house
she went to go around him but Minghao blocked her
he stepped toward her and pushed her back with his muzzle
“Areum, you need to go,” Wonwoo spoke up, deciding to intervein
“I need to see him,” she stated
“I know you’re upset and manic, but we’re not letting you do anything stupid.”
“Jeon Wonwoo, if you don’t fuck off--”
all Wonwoo does is sigh and close his eyes, hanging his head
his own mate is scared of him now and won’t look at him
his brothers and sisters were murdered in front of him
one ran away and nobody knows where she went but they know it’s nothing good
and nobody can pry Jeonghan off of Aya’s body
he’s dealt with enough today and he does have it in him to put up with Areum’s snarky mouth
“Whatever,” he said. “Just let her go.”
Minghao gives him the side-eye and Wonwoo lifts his head
“If she wants to see him, let her.”
it’s clear Minghao doesn’t agree considering the low rumble in his chest, but Areum hears something that makes her shove Minghao’s head out of the way before running by him and Wonwoo
“Baaaabyyyyy!” Chan’s voice called cheerily
“Chan!” she gasped and dashed around the side of the house
but both Wonwoo and Minghao can pick out the odd little difference to the voice
as Areum rounds the corner, she’s met with what she can only think of as carnage
there’s red everywhere
there’s bodies she doesn’t recognize laying on the ground...and some she does
she froze in her spot, eyes taking in the scene before her until they found Junhui
he was standing off to the side, Chan’s clothes at his feet
he was holding Chan’s phone, and that was where his voice was coming from
because then she heard her own voice
“Ew, get away from me!” she groaned, followed by Chan’s laugh
she remembered what video that was. one of the girls had done Chan’s makeup and put bright red lipstick on him, so he found her hanging out with Minghao in the kitchen and started chasing her around the house to try and kiss her
so...then where was Chan?
her eyes scanned the yard again, trying to avoid where she noted Jeonghan sobbing and cradling Aya, and Joshua’s face pressed into Jaehee’s chest
she unfortunately saw Jihoon face-up on the ground with a hole in the center of his forehead
and somewhere between Jihoon and Joshua was Chan with his back to her in the grass
“Chan!” she cried, and her feet seemed to be moving before her brain could tell them to
Junhui had been too wrapped up in the video to notice her presence, Seungcheol was still trying to get Jeonghan to let go of Aya, and Bomi was trying to comfort Joshua, but Jun looked up when he heard her voice
“Areum!” he gasped, almost like he was afraid for her to see what she was about to see
she stumbled and fell to her knees at his body and rolled him over
her entire world fell apart in a matter of seconds
three holes in his body. three.
one in his shoulder, another in his chest, and one in his stomach
his bright, golden eyes were now dull and lifeless as they stared passed her and up to the sky
“Chan...” she whispered, one hand slowly and shakily reaching out, but she was almost too scared to touch him
somehow, touching him would make it more real
Junhui had come up behind her now, but he didn’t dare touch her, afraid she might snap, “Areum...?”
“What happened?” was all she could ask, barely above a whisper
“Jinsoo shot Jihoon, and Chan reacted,” he explained quietly. “Nobody could stop it...”
he died because he couldn’t ignore his instincts
he died because he couldn’t control his emotions when one of his brothers was killed
he died because he loved his pack so much he couldn’t consider what would happen if he acted out
that was...so like Chan, it almost made her want to laugh
but she cried instead
Areum broke down into whimpers, and she finally reached out and stroked his cheek
her whimpers grew in volume until she was fully sobbing, holding Chan’s head in her lap and laying her forehead against his
“Areum...” Minghao’s voice was soft as he sat beside her in the grass. his eyes welled with tears seeing her hold Chan. “I’m so sorry, Areum.”
she sat up and her head fell back, and she wailed to the sky like she was screaming at whatever higher power might be out there, “I just got him! I just gave him a chance and now he’s gone!”
Minghao wanted to give her a hug, but she laid her head down on Chan’s chest and cried more
“Come back,” she begged brokenly. “I want more time, this isn’t fair! I’ll be better this time, just give me another chance!”
Minghao rubbed her back as he hiccupped cries hearing Areum beg and plead to whoever
nobody was really sure who she was trying to bargain with -- Chan or someone else -- but they let her get it out until Bang Chan and everyone else showed up
it took both Bang Chan and Changbin to pry Jeonghan away from Aya
Seungcheol had to hold onto Joshua while Elsie pried his hands away from Jaehee
but Areum? she fought tooth and nail to stay with Chan
Bang Chan had to pick her up and carry her away, and he ended up with quite a few teeth and nail marks on his arms and hands
Minghao had to physically restrain her in the back of the car while Bomi drove them to Aeri’s place
halfway into the drive was when Areum finally stopped fighting against Minghao and just sobbed into his shoulder, crying about how she should’ve just accepted Chan sooner
and all Minghao could do was hold her because there was nothing he could say or do to make her feel better or change what had happened

hiiiii you don't need to reply to this i just wanted to say thank you for the kimbliza :)c its always refreshing to see riza rarepairs and i think your brain is huge for liking kimblee/riza ... i rarely see people being interested in it and i think thats a shame when they only have one interaction in the entire series BUT it is kimblee calling riza out on her bullshit while also calling her ojouchan/little lady like cmon... just that leaves possibility for such an interesting dynamic.... and im personally obsessed with the valentines day art bc this meme instantly came to my mind when i saw it LMAO anyway!! thanks again for sharing your kimbliza i hope to get to see more of your art/thoughts of them!!! have a nice day!!
Tumblr media
Omg thank you so much! :D I don’t usually answer asks like these out of self-consciousness but the meme is too accurate to keep to myself and you are sooo right! I loved your tags as well lol they gave me a good chuckle.
I can’t find the post again, but I once read a post that went like "the reason that you’re both touch-starved and touch-averse is that you’ve spent so long without human touch that you interpret every contact as a threat" and I really do think that fits them both. Hehe might as well put a song I love here that fits them and this theme really well: Touch by July Talk
If you want more of my thoughts, @fumifooms is the blog to look at! I’ll link my kimbliza tag on there here. I recently did a sort of masterpost of kimbliza crumbs in canon because I am starved. I’ll also shout out @tombraxas because they churn out awesome kimbliza posts and fanfictions regularly! I owe it to them for having radicalized me as a kimbliza shipper lol
Kimblee literally meaningfully impacted Riza’s character fundamentally so hard like damn!! For a rarepair that is a massive win. Idk the interaction they had feels so special. I do think people tend to forget that Kimblee doesn’t say the things he does out of malice, ouugh he’s so interesting!! I think Kimblee and Riza have soo many parallels actually. Blunt and strong convictions vs quiet, reserved and a follower. Both ready to kill their superior/commanding officer if the situation demands it. His iconic “don’t avert your eyes from the dead” speech was originally meant for her not Roy and no one can take any of this away from me. I’m like Denji eating the cake with my hands lolol. The flavor kimbliza has is simply unmatched. Riza is my special wet cat little war criminal princess (Wet cat and war criminal have the same first letters, if not equivalent then explain 🤨 /j)
I do plan on making more kimbliza art yes! I actually have a few actual Valentine’s day themed ones in the works lol. I’m rather slow and busy though… ;w; Also fics! I’ve already made two short ficlets, see them on my ao3! I’ve been hyperfixating on them for like 2 months now with no sign of stopping… I have so many wips. My kimbliza spotify playlist is my longest playlist ever 😭 I scoured both ao3 and ff.net and read everything about them I could find. I may be obsessed.

Answering this in a separate post bc it's kinda deserving of it's own explanation.
Tumblr media
(From this post)
So to explain what I meant without directly listing things, you might have noticed a sort of ongoing theme with me and especially my OC stuff that isn't in character. This might go a little long so I'll put it under a readmore, its not terribly interesting just kind of a silly thing I've never directly mentioned or addressed
So my discord statuses, if you've got me on there somewhere you may have seen my statuses which are all sorta. Commercial-esque? Things like "Coming to a theater near you, A Moomin on the High Seas!" Or "Puukko-O's, part of a balanced breakfast!". Sort of an ongoing bit that I've been doing for a long while now
Well, to put it simply, there's canon stuff like all my writing and a lot of the art I've posted, etc, and then there's this sort of... neo-non-canon? I like that whole era of advertising, early 90s and before, and it suits the canon that I've been pushing mostly which is that Puukko is originally meant to fit in the 90s series (Tanoshii Moomin Ikka).
So there's canon, her and the whole world of the moomins, and then there's this faux canon unreality outside of it where she was part of the series and got a spin off series of her own. I don't bring it up because it's mainly just a fun aside for me, I like to make jokes about official merch for her and treating my story launches like tv-to-movie in theater releases. It's sorta just nostalgic for me.
Plus it gives me excuses to do just about anything I want with my OC without directly affecting her ongoing canon, things like CyberPuukko and Skycaptain Puukko, which would be spinoffs of a spinoff i guess. It also gives me the opportunity to pretend I'm famous or making something people are interested in. If you can't hype yourself up about your own thing, you're not gonna hype anyone else up about it either. Plus it's fun to pretend!
I'll never really develop on that side of things too much, it's a bit meta for my taste and for that sort of thing I feel like you really ought to have some art skill or something else to bring to the table. I'm not clever enough for it nor do I have the ability to fully realize things like that, so I just sorta. Leave it as a fun little gag now and again.
The list so far I think encompasses stuff you'd find as normal moomin merch but also the ones I've joked about in the past include fireworks, breakfast cereal, alcohol and bar equipment, pipe tobacco, plushies, folding knives, books and movies of course, and now Hi-C apparently. There's a commission in the works at the moment that sorta ties into this and you'll see what I mean when it's done.
If it ever comes up in any meaningful capacity I'll have a tag for it and presumably a concept name better than "neo-non-canon".

I don't go through the blogs of everyone that interacts with me bc I have a life but I will block if I do find out.
□ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □
here are some of the things i have made:
Silver Dollar: President Schlatt is dead, murdered. It's up to you to find his killer.
A murder mystery game created in Twine, set during the Manberg era. Chapter 1 out of 4 has been posted.
Journeying Into the Center of the Earth to Retrieve Your Dead Ex-Boyfriend: Quackity goes to Hell.
Post Canon-Divergence c!Quacknap AU where Quackity does the classic Descent into the Underworld to Save a Loved One™
BED [DIS]ASSEMBLY: A STURDY BED FRAME WITH SOFT, PROFILE EDGES AND HIGH LEGS. A CLASSIC SHAPE THAT WILL LAST FOR MANY YEARS. THIS CLASSIC BED FRAME WILL LOOK GREAT WITH YOUR CHOICE OF TEXTILES AND BEDROOM FURNITURE.
c!Sapnap-centric creative writing piece, in the format of an edited IKEA manual
KILL YOUR PAST SELF: YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE TIME HAS COME
c!Quackity-centric infographic(?) about ego death and metaphorically killing your previous iteration because it can no longer sustain itself. Or you.
WE ALL THINK YOU'RE A GRAND GIRL: NIHACHU Well they’re gone now I guess you all saw it. Schlatt chased them out not in this great clashing of blades and war they just had to run
c!Niki-centric oneshot, about her arc during the Manberg-Pogtopia war. Based on the style and themes of Anne Carson's Antigonick.
with the measure that you used / so shall it be measured to you: Sapnap, post-Dream.
Post-canon fic where Sapnap kills Dream and keeps on living. Written in the format of several interviews with SMP newspapers over 2-3 decades.
The Death Poem: What is known about dying on the server.
A poem for every canon death on the server (in some cases of group deaths they are combined, like FCR.)
Carthage may rise again someday
collection of what should be all of the dsmp poems I've written, most of which are also posted here. There's poems about everyone from Philza to Wilbur to Fundy to Wilbur again to Quackity to Wilbur again! to Sapnap to Quackity-
before we cut to Alexandria: Between you is a desk and, an hour later, a wall, and your brother- let’s call him your brother, because you do not have to like your brothers, but you have to have them. And he is here, your brother.
c!cabinetduo (Manberg era) poem that warrants its own post. Might be the longest poem I've ever written and I have no idea how that happened even. Also on ao3.
you don't have to love it: Turning heel; or, deciding not to die.
c!Quackity-centric professional wrestling au. Kind of a character study. Kind of a love letter to how compelling getting beat up and beating people up can be ^_^ and also kayfabe and heel turns and losing
12x100s: the loneliest people in the whole wide world - Fundy and Quackity; where the high wires drop (where the fat crows fly) - Sam and Ponk
12x100s are a format by Lewis Attilio. Series' of twelve 100-word snapshots. Pretty great for character studies. The fics aren't related to one another, they're just both 12x100s.
Left Pining for Transience: Quackity Snowfall is a perfect machine, capable of assisting Senator Schlatt however he needs. Theirs is a relationship of mutual benefit--he helps Schlatt stay in power and Schlatt keeps him out of the grasp of the omnipresent megacorporation REDSTONE. Quackity has nothing else to turn to, no reason to stray from his position until he meets Karl, a rogue neural net touting what appears to be sentience.
c!Karlnapity cyberpunk AU where Karl lives inside Quackity's head. Written in two months for AUFEST 2023. It is my first go at a completed longfic. I wish it could be better but that's okay. We're learning.
Various AU series: The Paltry Few-Harbinger AU (supernatural/monster hunting); no don't tell me the odds (blaseball);
I have other standalone fics that take place in alternate universes, but these are the ones that actually have multiple works in the series.

and the finished product. a redraw of this piece from three years ago.
-
"It seems introductions are in order." Lana states, stepping out of the metaphorical and literal shadows with their red-jacketed savior a few steps behind. Zanya shifts her weight back to her uninjured foot, taking stock of her surroundings. Beniko had lead her into a trap, whether knowingly or unknowingly and now there's a Republic spy with her. Considering the rest of her company, she wonders how long she had her working in tandem with the opposite faction. She catches the gaze of the cerulean eyed Jedi to her right, long enough to get a sense of her Force Signature.
Closed off, yet hiding something that simmers just below the surface. Pulsating, as if daring for her to seek it out. Reaching out does little, but Zanya can't help but feel like she's felt her somewhere before. Somewhere deep in the recesses of her mind she recognizes the feeling, just barely.
Fascinating.
The Jedi knows she's staring. Feels her, maybe. She averts her eyes, just as she turns her head to look at her.
"Master Qelu, glad you're back in one piece."

Shards of Glass
Tumblr media
Intended to post this when I eventually finished and published the Citadel arc of Redamancy, but wrote it instead of actually working on aforementioned arc.
The Citadel Coup's aftermath from the perspective of one Priana T'Lara, and how she spends the night with a certain Mason Shepard.
General warnings for mentions of injury, blood, and a minor panic attack at the end from the protagonist.
-
"Thirsty?"
Priana glances up over her shoulder from where she sits on the balcony, surprised to see her partner with two cups in hand emerging from the dim light of his apartment, along with a medical kit in the other. Unlike her, he'd dressed out of his uniform, hair tied back from his face and donning a t-shirt and sweats. He's barefoot, unafraid of the possible glass spray on his floor -- or maybe too tired to care. She nods wordlessly, taking one of them from him while rolling her sleeves up.
There's still smoke billowing out from levels beneath them, hours after the invasion had ended. Fires probably, still burning. The Presidium's a wreck. The Wards are a wreck. People are dead. Co-workers are dead. Her friends are dead. Her apartment is shot to hell, and nothing is working right. Nothing quite feels real, and she sips down the glass of water faster than she should. She has sixty billion questions fumbling around in her mind, but she can't muster up the strength to rationalize it all. Likely they'll get the botched report within the next few days, with as many redactions as she has years on her.
She wonders who the hell got paid off to make all this happen.
Her eyes are drawn to her partner as he sits down next to her, Mason's got a nasty gash down the length of his exposed arm, and she winces when she sees the bloodied bandage around his forearm. It's carefully wrapped up in gauze by now, but it'd still been ugly when one of the C-Sec meds had to do it for him before rushing off to the next officer who'd been hurt during the invasion.
One of the many mistakes she'd made today, and the one she regrets the most.
"How're you holding up?" He asks, unlatching the clips on the kit. She shrugs. As well as she could be doing. She feels like an elcor is sitting on her chest and she may as well be drowning in the Presidium pools with how heavy her head feels.
The painkillers the apologetic asari had given to her earlier hadn't worked nearly as well as she thought they would.
Still, she gives a half sarcastic smile to the human beside her. He has bigger problems right now, and one of them shouldn't be her passive aggressive nature. Shouldn't be her guilt weighing on his conscience.
Asari were presumably naturally unemotional once they got older. So many years meant they saw people die. Meant they understood that life was fleeting for other races. Meant they grew desensitized over the years that events like this rarely affected them unless it directly hurt their own.
Her's hadn't gotten the memo, because no matter how much she tries to distance herself from the incident, she can't help but get angry all over again. With herself, with citadel security, with Cerberus...it feels like she's about to burst. It didn't matter that there were humans who weren't going home tonight, it didn't matter more that there were turians who were unlikely to check in alongside her tomorrow. All of it felt like death, tearing away at her and leaving her raw.
She'd never been through something like this. Never seen all this destruction and death up close.
It hurts.
It's not supposed to hurt.
"We don't have to be back on duty until later afternoon tomorrow. Injuries and all." He pulls out the rubbing alcohol, tentatively reaching over to her own knuckles. At first she wants to pull away, she's not a child, she can clean her own wounds, but she figures it's equally childish not to let the man do his own job. She gestures for him to take it, and he does, "Bailey's scrambling to get enough officers on duty to flush any remaining Cerberus agents out, but he's brought in outside help where he can. The worst of it's over for now."
She bites her lip, the alcohol burning at her half healed skin. It fuzzes up, turning white as Mason gently dabs at each tear. From stray gunshots, torn right through her gloves before she could toss the offending enemies away. They weren't deep enough to scar for too many years, likely they wouldn't even be there by her tricentennial.
At least her blood had stopped oozing out of it. It'd stained her uniform in multiple places, and made her dizzy with how much she's pretty sure she lost in the fights down in the Wards. Her worse injuries were wrapped at the remains of Huerta, and she'd been sent off with antibiotics and enough painkillers to probably kill a Quarian.
Mason looks worse for wear. Humans always did, so injury prone, so delicate and fleshy. Most were a map of scars in her line of work, and he was no exception. A cut above his eye, one underneath the other. Likely her shields had protected him from anything potentially fatal, but her heart still seizes up at the gauze.
His gaze follows her's, and he sighs, pulling out his own roll to wrap around her hand, "You know T'Lara, humans are sturdier than you think."
"I know." She answers quietly. Scarily so. Almost every organ in their body could be replaced, and they bounced back extremely fast. Broken bones were no problem for them, skin could grow back faster than she thought possible and they did it all within a handful of years.
Usually she wouldn't fret. She'd had human companions before, but Mason is the anomaly.
She feels like she failed him, and it's eating at her.
She hates feeling weak. Exposed. Vulnerable. Hates feeling like this.
"That wasn't your fault." He says, uncapping the ointment and carefully applying it before rolling the fabric out, almost as if he's read her mind, "It'll heal."
Two minutes too long. She'd been stripped of her shields, her own blood dribbling down her chin from her nose and a rolled ankle making it difficult to gain any ground.

Starting off the year right with Citlali again! This time likely catching her breath after a night in the Wards with a friend, or two.

Happy Year In Review 2021!!
I've certainly lived in interesting times and here's my eventual result of that. (Can't believe it's already been a year -- 2020)
WORD COUNT:
This year I wrote a total of 127,820 words (92,789 published, 35,031 unpublished). Honestly I'm a little disappointed, I thought I did more than that. Given, it's 2021, the year of crises left and right, but...yeesh. That's less than I did back in 2019. In like, two or three months.
Most of the year was out of my control though, and I'm still standing. I count it as a win.
The Breakdown:
My Mass Effect works took up about 3/4s of the actual word count, at 112,020 words written (and 22,934 unpublished, along with most of what I haven't released for Redamancy yet). My goal this year was to finish Redamancy but it had other ideas, so I'm maybe halfway through actually finishing it? That could be another year.
My Arcane works (what a surprise), are all still unpublished with posting dates being sometime in early 2021. However, they're 12,097 words by themselves so far, so it's okay. I didn't expect to end up writing for League anytime soon, but here we are.
My singular Dragon Age work this year was Bones, which was 1,879 words. Not surprised I didn't have more, it's Dragon Age. That and I lost all of the games when my account was hacked earlier in the year. Not a lot of motivation to write for this fandom.
My singular Mind Blind work this year was "Do It For Them", which was 1,824 words. It's been a while since I've really interacted with the IF fandom, so that's pretty unsurprising.
New Things I Tried:
Not much I don't think? Redamancy has actually been beta'd, every single chapter currently published has had a second pair of eyes over it (which is such a big help, you'd never notice how many misspellings you miss yourself), but beyond that I didn't really have the time or mental energy to do much else. EXCEPT for starting to write for Arcane. Never thought I'd do anything relating to League.
(God I hate the culture around League so much.)
Favorite Thing I Wrote This Year:
Probably Letters Home? Not super sure why but it is one of the few times I've genuinely liked something I wrote mainly in a non-OC's perspective. It's a working point for Joker and Citlali, which are two characters I hesitate to write together for whatever reason.
(That and it's criminal how Tiptree and Joker's feelings related to it are just swept under the rug -- it's criminal!)
Favorite Fic I Read This Year:
@ljandersen's Sideways. Easily one of my favorites (even if I'm still behind a handful of chapters -- and mentioned it last year), just for the characterization alone. I absolutely love how their Kaidan(s) and Shepard(s) interact with each other, and the little details that turn out to be bigger than anyone would've guessed. I absolutely adore the ever-growing future that they've weaved into the story, as well as how they expanded the Mass Effect universe into something all their own. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the rest of the story goes.
@shockdowndefiance's A Momentary Lapse In Judgement. Though I really loved just about every work in their library (Allison Shepard my beloved) this one really stuck with me because it really examined the coup for what it was logically and what Bioware couldn't quite do, especially for a Kaidanmancing Shepard. Allison's universe extends Mass Effect something emotionally compelling, and this fic is probably one of the best examples of that. I still absolutely love how they resolved it, as well as how Allison's character really shines through here, both as Commander Shepard as well as -- well, a regular human being. It's painful at times, but also terribly comforting.
@swaps55's Sonata. I'm such a sucker for in-between moment Mass Effect stories, especially Shenko centered ones. Sam Shepard is such a compelling character, and his relationship with Kaidan is certainly one that makes you so very mushy on the inside. Swaps' writing style is something that'll suck you in and never quite let you go, and their attention to detail is something to be admired. (Which is why I was up until the middle of the night finishing it -- definitely worth the read!)
& (last but definitely not least)
@lyrishadow's Between Times. I still read it time to time just because it makes me happy and amuses me greatly. It was a birthday gift from them to me and it still makes me really happy. I really love how they weaved both of our Shepards together to write something so nice, and how they took the time out of their life to do it.
Writing Goals For 2022
Be less on myself about writing. I was genuinely feeling so guilty and completely paralyzed out of having any fun the entire months of October, November and December just because I hadn't gotten any substantial writing done. Which shouldn't be how I feel, writing is a hobby of mine. Just because I was more likely to reach for my stylus or even one of my games than I was my bookmark for my longfic doesn't mean I'm a failure, even if I would've liked to see more progress. I mean, hell I'm a high school student who's about to graduate in a couple months -- you'd think I'd be able to afford myself the same grace I give my peers.
(It's the validation. I live off of it. I shouldn't, but I do.)
Word Of Thanks
Thanking the lovely Lock + Key writers because you guys are lovely people, (@delinquest , @glyndwrwrites , @lnewmanwrites , @tayareum , @thesupremepuff + @colonelpknight [can't tag you]) thank you for going on such a wild ride with me this year, its been so freaking fun working with you all!
The lovely @mallaidhsomo for their contributions to Redamancy and all of the useful advice they've provided me with. Along with the rest of the Bioware Fanfiction server, I might not interact much but its a very comforting place to be. <3
@that-wasnt-so-bad + @kaidans-alenkos + @mariaalenkoshepard + @actualanxiousswampwitch + @oakstar519 for being the people I always love seeing in my notifs and inbox, and the people who always have the best headcanons for the canon characters and their own.
@sheyshen + @greencrusader13 + @anchanted-one + @naaklasolus for always being there to listen to my rambly nonsense in our development channel. And responding with your own OCs because I love them very much.

Fun Fact Friday pt.1
Thank you for the wonderful tag, our beloved @bardic-tales! We are so sorry that it took us absolutely forever to get to this, we are hoping to get through our hoard of tag games this month! c:
Check out her response to this event!
Rules: List as many fun facts about your OCs, writing process, or WIPs as you want
We think, starting out for now, we will be focusing on one WIP and doing three facts about the Work itself, the characters, and then the writing process! c:
Content Tag List (ask to be added or removed) @a-completely-normal-writer | @aalinaaaaaa | @autumnalwalker | @bardic-tales | @emersonjydestein | @enchanted-lightning-aes | @fearofahumanplanet | @howsweetthewords |@jessica-writes22 | @junypr-camus | @lockejhaven | @midnights-melodiverse | @papercutsunset | @talesofsorrowandofruin
This week, the spotlight is on Grayland's Shadow!
The Work In Progress:
This is the first book of any solidity that we completed a draft for! It holds 37 chapters, including a Prologue and Epilogue, and told a story of Insanity, and the aftermath of its claim.
This is the first story that held actual details of murder and horror, and starting out, it was easily the worst thing we have ever written, and it sat by itself for a long time bc we didn't know if anyone wanted to read about murders and demons.
This is one of the only stories featuring a second person point of view, and the first time that we wrote in present tense with that point of view in play! We found that neither of those were as daunting as we had originally thought!
The Characters:
Grayland actually was inspired by an anime character, and yes, we know how terrible that thought is! But the character was wonderful and filled with such intrigue and interest that we immediately got hooked on them and developed the early versions of Grayland from that!
Mitch and Grayland's relationship got overhauled along with the first draft of the story, and now, they are very much different than the first thoughts we had about them. They went from strangers with a weird responsibility to one another, to actual members to the same Family, and things got a bit more interesting with that thought.
Grayland, canonically, wears full suits during almost every occasion. He is a fancy man who enjoys the more luxurious items of clothing, and he does think that everyone is more than noticed with how they present themselves. His attire normally also includes cuffs, gloves, a hat, pocket watch or wrist watch depending on his designs for the day, along with a cane, normally birch or mahogany, and more for the accessory than necessity, so it is more than likely that his cane also holds a weapon. Along with the rest of his person; Grayland hides a plethora of knives, daggers, collapsible staffs, scissors, among other things.
The Writing Process:
We normally write this second draft as if Grayland himself is going over the account, like a bad diary entry that is being judged. Grayland kind of hates the first writings of his person; he has grown as a character since the first draft, and it does show through with a lot of the actions and responses.
While writing this story, we tend to have the murders happen in the second person point of view, pretense tense. This kind of helps a little bit with our own immersion, bc instead of going through the eyes of the murderer, Grayland, you end holding onto the last breaths of the victim who comes and goes within one chapter.
This story was first written in 2016, along with one of our first actual attempts at NaNoWriMo! We ended up putting this on hiatus after that, developing our worlds and our writings for a long time before we finally decided to come back and do the second draft this year!
We have added the Content Tag List, just bc it is content for our WIPs, but there will be no other pressure in having to do this if you don't want to, or have been tagged before! The main tags will remain open, so if anyone wants to use this as an excuse do join in, then this is your excuse! c:

Which Art Motif is Your OC?
Thanks for the tag @aceghosts !
Doing for Adrian (naturally <3), but also 4 from some original project 👀 Tagging @monstrousfreedom @korblez aaand @pastlight let's see what y'all got if you wanna do it?
Adrian Shepard
Dappled Sunlight
you see all the beautiful things in life. you're always looking to learn and be better, especially from the world around you. thank you for believing so strongly in goodness. art reference: woodland glade by david poulter
Can't argue that tbh. She has trouble seeing it in herself, perhaps, but god does Adrian believe in the capacity for everyone to be good :c
Yami
Blood in religious depictions
you think in violence, but not necessarily antagonism or hatred. it is more just in the physicality, the vulnerability of it all. art reference: prometheus bound by peter paul rubens
Read so fucking hard, literally didn't see that was a possible result and I've been spending all day building up a new background that leaves her as a priest/paladin type character, sooooo... 😂
Elena
Snowy towns
you have the ability to see the greatness in the mundane, and it's beautiful. you would just like to live your life, and love all its things. art reference: it snows oh it snows by grandma moses
👀 Actually fairly fitting, honestly, she is the sort to take potential into consideration...
Elora
Hands
is your love language touch? i suppose it might not be, but i also suppose you might just like being held. you might see the art in human bodies. art reference: loneliness of night by kaye donachie
Why yes her love language is touch and. BOY HOWDY DOES SHE 😂 (best part is like. She'd absolutely have a room full of artistic nudes, Elora admires the body's myriad forms, finds it beautiful, and is intensely demi)
Aaron
Snowy Towns
you have the ability to see the greatness in the mundane, and it's beautiful. you would just like to live your life, and love all its things. art reference: it snows oh it snows by grandma moses
I was expecting this one for him bc it's true 😂 He's the actual artist of the group, so of course he's going to be seeing the beauty and magic of everything, it's why he creates.

📓 👁👁
OK SO *slams down 30k words of draft* I know the original ask post said to talk about a fic I haven't written but haunts me, but believe me, this is fic is not written. We're like not even a quarter of the way through, most of this doc is notes, this fic have been haunting me since last june or so send help
So anyways. This is "the fic I'll never write" which I do have a tag about as you might have noticed, it's one of the very few things I have a tag for on here that's how much it's haunting me. I'm never going to publish this fic also, tho that's mainly bc A) it's way too fucking long B) the fandom and ship are both obscure as hell and C) its also embarrassing 😣 cringe is dead except when it's me and my fanned fictions. That being said, I'm calling the two guys A and B for simplicity's sake.
A and B hate each other's guts. They were friends once, but had a very big falling out with hurt feelings and bad miscommunications all around and basically they vowed to never talk to each other again. And then one day A wakes up and realizes that 1) his house got moved into while he was asleep(he is very ??? over this given that he was in the middle of moving in the day before; his house was basically empty 8 hours ago and now it is Not) and 2) B is coming over for lunch to pick up his stuff(????? This is even MORE confusing bc A is getting the vibe all of a sudden that they were in a relationship together? Which doesn't make sense bc he's not gay. Wait. Is he gay? What the fuck is going on???)
B comes over and they have a very stilted lunch (where it seems like B feels like something is off, too, but hes not saying anything...), B takes his stuff and leaves, and A spends the rest of the week alone in this house that he has both lived in for years and also Has Not and very confused about this new life he suddenly has.
And then A wakes up in a castle as the trusted advisor to the king in a medieval fantasy world and he is EVEN MORE CONFUSED THAN BEFORE!
Also the King is B. Great.
A spends a lot longer here than in the last universe (like 3/4 of a year), long enough for a magical war to come and pass, some character development shit to happen, and also for the King (who, again, is B) to fall in battle (and it's the one they win the war in too, RIP) and go into a Magical Nightmare Coma (bc they were warring with magical nightmare beasts). This is Bad, for a variety of reasons.
Now A is conflicted abt this bc B is his friend, bit also very much not, but that doesn't mean he wants him to die, but also the A of this universe, the advisor, is starting to get the idea to kill the king to get the throne... His death would be easy to explain away, given the circumstances...
A, instead, goes to find magicians to break the curse. This is the first good thing hes done all fic lmao
B wakes up, the kingdom throws a party, and that night, B tells A about how Something Strange has happened to him - he's not from here. From this world. He's from somewhere else, somewhere Different and in the Future but with no magic and he doesn't know how he got here or got to be possessing the king's body but he's been here for past like 3/4 of the year now and hes sorry for acting strangely if he has but he doesn't really know what to do-
A tells B that he's in the same boat, because he is. B realizes that this A is his A and he hates his A. So. B says some things he'll probably regret later bc being mean is the best defense he's learned against A's general air of uncaring-ness for the effects of his /j "jokes" (they're not jokes, half the time they're just mean, but anyways), and storms off.
The next day, A wakes up in a submarine. He thinks he is going to scream.
They go through....,,., a lot of universes. I think it's over 25 rn but idk. Some are shorter than others, the longest is like a year and a half but we'll get to that. The general arcs are:
1. The beginning bit (Just Broke Up, King/Advisor, Deep Sea Biologists (that ones just an excuse to stick them in a small space for a while to duke it out lmao), Astronauts (kinda same premise as last one but there's a third party now), Musicians, Wild West, Minecraft, Wizards, Desert Island (to quote the notes there, "they duke it out but calmer now"), semi-back in their home universe but something's Off, Superhero(B)/Supervillain(A))
In this part they start off hating each other, but slowly warm up to each other again by the Wizard universe (they're wizards there <3). They recognize that they're each other's only constant in this mess, so in the Desert Island 'verse, they agree to try and find each other right away in each new universe they wake up in (instead of messing around for a while before accidentally stumbling into each other like they'd done before). They debate about the versions of themselves they're possessing, with A very adamant about not changing each universe's lives too much, while B is willing to throw that out the window if keeping the status quo endangers each other. He's starting to like A as a friend again and doesn't want to have to tiptoe around him to compensate for this other life that was thrust upon him, sue him. This comes to a head at the end of the superhero verse when A foils his own plan to save B's life, revealing his own identity to the press in the process - VERY much changing the status quo of this A's life. B is very very confused and conflicted abt this but we don't know how A feels bc its B's POV this chapter.
Also it's worth noting that B still gets nightmares from getting attacked by a nightmare beast monster thing, and he will continue having them for the rest of the fic. They get a heck of a lot worse in the next one <3 and he doesn't tell A abt them until like 3 years into this bullshit
Also also they are so homesick already god bless
2. The Death Universes (the death universes) (this is the year and a half one btw)
They wake up in separate universes where the other is dead bc I love inflicting characters with hardships and problems and trauma <3
They get therapy in these ones too which helps them to like accept blame and shit when it comes to their old argument but also not blame themselves completely and break and also hold each other accountable more and in healthier ways
3. Post-Death bits AKA the rest of the fic p much (its like over half the fic I'm not listing all these out)
Points of interest:
- they reunite and are so so happy about it that they become codependent
- they go to a BOTW AU and B is Link and has amnesia but not just the B from the BOTW universe has it, the original B has it also and he. He fucking going through it man
- bc of the whole amnesia thing B starts thinking of himself where he's not really the B of whichever universe but hes also not really the original B either (tho that's always usually the one more in control each time); the two have kind of merged together, and each new universe creates a new version of B
- he goes with that for a while until it gives him an existential crisis and OG B starts maintaining his independence again
- anyways then they get more codependent <3 fruity edition
- they start to realize they're getting codependent and go :/ uh oh oopsie poopsie
- why did I say that I'm sorry
- anyways they try to homebrew some therapy for themselves but given their situation it's not exactly.. uh.... But tbh it's the best they got right now ngl. it works well enough
- it helps that the universe right after they agree to Spend Some Time Apart™️ they wind up in one where they physically cannot meet each other until they get to the end of it and have to make new friends along the way (Dead Gods AU my beloved....... <3)
- they get to a universe where they're Dads and Gay and Married and go 😳
- they only get fruitier from here
And then it vaguely ends around there. I don't really want to ever write an ending for it, if only bc it feels cheap to end it before they get home but also writing them going home feels wrong, but also, again, I'm never publishing this so I'm not too pressed about it
Saying that, I do want to share some bits from the scenes I have actually written that I'm proud of :3 A is red and B is blue. Sometimes the versions of themselves from a universe will have a different name and I do differentiate between the two; when that happens, the alternate universe versions will have a lighter color than OG A or B. Some of them aren't the same size so you'll have to tap the pics to read all of it
Their fight in the first universe, where they don't really know what's going on but they do know they have just recently broken up and are still very hurt abt that
Tumblr media Tumblr media
P much the only scene written for the Superhero AU bit, mainly bc I know I cannot top this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's a bit of a jump in their conversation between these two, but I hope it still makes sense. Mid-part 3, around the time when B's having his existential crisis and right when they start being fruity. (Pastel/Punk AU also High School AU but it's like the weird teen movie version of high school - they're a little weirded out by it lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And ofc Dead Gods AU my beloved <3
Tumblr media
Also I made a playlist. They're not really in any particular order story-wise, and some remind me of the story more than others, but yeah :)
When I tell you this story fuckgin HAUNTS me bro......

okay this is here for me (but if you want to ask about a character you can 🥺👉🏼👈🏼), i’m trying to keep track of the stuff i’ve put in my tags bc some of it actually Is there for more than aesthetic reasons haha so i’m gonna keep track of the names i’ve tagged on here and also simplifying to just “c: character name” so i fucking remember how i tag everyone akskd
regular text means it’s been changed, red means it hasn’t been and it’s still floating in the ether
TAMINA AND THE TERRIBLE HORRIBLE NO GOOD VERY BAD DAY -> i think i'm just tagging literally everything that goes in my "main" universe as "the poisoned obsidian" instead of doing separate tags for separate stories within it because i never remember my own tags and there's so much crossover between characters.
MAIN POISONED OBSIDIAN CHARACTERS
c: tahmina vasquez
c: charles donnelly
c: matthias - this bitch needs a last name or an epithet or something damn
c: nia thorne - i don't think i have her on here by another name but
c: beck vida
c: evangeline de la heina
c: marty vida
c: isadora da rosa
c: leo vida
c: lilith - may tag her by a different name, settling on "nokomis all-mother" but i DO worry this falls into cultural weirdness (it is generally an igbo or ojibwe name and she is not either? but she also didn't like, name herself, and EYE am indigenous so. i'm still debating).
c: xan the scourge
c: morgwaine - also getting a last name or epithet
c: nyx the eternal
c: iggy the bloody - the way i have tagged her like 50 different things lmao
c: kephas the wanderer; c: peter the old bear (i'm gonna choose a different animal, haven't decided yet)
c: captain irayz santos
c: nicos blue
c: einar nemean - the thing is i'm thinking of combining him with nicos so he's floating free for now
c: inara khoji - her name was originally "indira" but that was always a placeholder name. did a lil more research and settled on inara.
c: reagan the redeemer
c: veruca lightseeker
c: elyse nightbridge
c: valentin of the light
i'm missing most of the witchmark characters here so althea, del, ynez, etc etc if you see anything entitled "generic fantasy universe" or "witches caused climate change" I'LL GET THERE
HISTORICAL POISONED OBSIDIAN CHARACTERS
c: sigthorn - i'm adding an epithet to the group he lives with, the way i do the obsidian isle but i'm unsure of what to call it. i was calling it the "iron atoll" until i realized i was just jacking the iron islands from asoiaf lmao (absolutely no relation to the greyjoys tho)
c: ivar
c: isabella de la heina
c: nicolias - needs an epithet, probably the same as sigthorn's
c: micah blood-eye
NO GAYS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS NOVEL -> also poisoned obsidian but these bitches need epithets so no one has been changed yet
c: lieke
c: luka
c: aneurin
MY BEST FRIEND DIED AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT -> the title of the book is not changing because i think it's hilarious but it turned into a whole series (the medical/romance one) so it's being tagged as "recovering romantics anonymous" to shift the focus onto the support group the main characters all go to.
c: thalia massi (might change last name, undecided)
c: alec ruiz dubois
c: gabriella ruiz dubois
c: mary stevens ochoa
c: rocio acosta
c: cheyenne lipnicki
c: alva karla alvarez
c: hadley alvarez
BORDERTOWN BLUES -> this is not changing, just the character tagging is different now so its-
c: Lani Kealoha Lange
c: KJ Toussey
c: Key Toussey

Hi anon ! Ty for the ask ! :D
11. Link your three favorite fics right now.
Oh god three of mine or three in general..??? Um. A..? I guess I’ll do both !!
Three of mine: True Vengeance, THE REPARATION CLAUSE, The Bridges We Burn
Three of others: The Illusion of Life, A Great Leap in the Dark, Mors Vincit Omnia
19. What is the most-used tag on your ao3?
Oh I bet for sure it’s gonna be “graphic depictions of violence” LMAO. Aside from like. The thg fandom tags. Also “original characters” and “alternate universe”. The “canon-typical violence” tag is also my best friend and i love when I surpass that one. Canon atypical violence. I think ive used that one before but only once so it doesn’t count here, but it is funny. OH- the “careers have issues” tag. Also my best friend<3 really fucking excellent tag
28. On average, how much writing do you get done in a day?
Pshhhhh uhhhh…. I’m actually just coming off of an event where i wrote like 35k in the span of 5 weeks which is. Not typical ! This past week-ish I have written exactly Zero words (: …at like. Normal times, I probably can do a solid 1k or in that ballpark. I have been known to bang out like 3k in a day if I’m rly in the zone (i was Unwell last july LMFAO) but also I rly don’t typically write every day. Would like to! Need to build a new schedule though. Hard for me to write on the days when I work but I only work part time atm. I am also. Kind of a slow writer usually. I’ve only written as much as I have bc I write frequently ! ((Or I try to))
30. Do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished?
Good god I think I’d perish if I shared rough drafts. Like, on ao3… is that a thing..? So like. My shit isn’t perfect. There’s definitely typos I’ve missed and all that jazz, but I usually heavily edit my chapters before posting. The event I did recently was also like my first time having a beta which was neat but. This is rly silly, bear with me - so I had two separate docs for that, one I wrote the fic in and another that I shared w the betas, because the idea of someone having access to all my rough outlines and watching me on the doc as I write makes me Viscerally uncomfortable, I can’t rly explain it better than that. Anyways, the funny part is, said beta would point out a grammar mistake or typo, and I’d go “nice” and fix it, but forget to fix it on the other doc. So when I. When I posted the fic from the original doc… you can see where this is going maybe. Actual clown idiot moment LMFAO. Tl;dr - I attempt to polish. Doesn’t always turn out shiny jdjddjdk
42. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
Ooh ! Last one I read was In The Clear by District11-Olive on FFN. So this one is technically thg but very au; it’s set in modern day Canada where a show called The Cut forced teenaged criminals to fight to the death in order to regain their freedom or get a “second chance”. It’s Really well written and also an excellent commentary on what it means to be a criminal and prison systems in general. This one’s actually the third and final installment of the series, wooh! It’s not complete yet; the story just reached the start of the death match part and its so 👁️👄👁️ It’s also a SYOC fic (Submit Your Own Character). Not open for submissions now, but u might see some of my characters if you check it out c:
Gotta also rec The Furthest Star by geologyisms on FFN since I’m in the middle of (re) reading it.. again 🥺 This is the fic I received from the exchange I took part in recently ! So the main pov char Solan Gardener (D9 tribute in the male slot but uses they/them) was created by me but the story was written by erik/geologyisms ! Ve did such a lovely job with my kiddo u should definitely check it out!! 10/10 new comfort fic fr ;—;
Ty again anon for the question, I had fun !!! <3
