Surprise, It's Anxiety

Once there was a 31 year old lass called Cwas, who dedicated her life to the art of blogging in search on the fabled creatures known as followers. This is her tale...

Grief (TW//ANGST, LOSS, GRIEF)

A drawing of Steve and Vivian, devastated by Betty's passing. I drew this for one of the short stories I requested to @aspergerasparagus called "Grief" ! If you want to request something to them, just go ahead !

I drew this for two reasons:

I loved that short story (by the way what Vivian says here was inspired from the fanfic)

This is a rarepair that's growing on me (yes, I love it) !

It took me two hours to finish it, but I'm glad that it turned well !!

So instead of an apartment in the actual game, would Jack in the Zombo Au have an office inside of Steve's mansion?

Like did Steve go out of his way to make the most cliche noir P.I office that could ever exist just to make Jack happy?

Steve did give Jack a little office but seeing as he really doesn't want him taking cases for clients to try and protect him he mostly just have him things to help him try and track down who killed him and look into the BMP. More so to humour him as Steve really doesn't want him to stick his nose into things as that's how he ended up like this to begin with.

Alas Jack is very pushy and hard to control and Steve is a pushover when it comes to Jack. So in the end, at Jack's insistence, he does end up with like a whole noir P.I set up that looks like it was ripped straight out of a movie. Much nicer than the one he had at his old apartment given how Steve isn't exactly above spending an arm and a leg to make him happy.

Yes the funko pops did get rescued and are there too. Steve doesn't like them as he's sure they are mad at him.

[aspergerasparagus]

I'm shy to ask this, but...

Can you please write a fanfic where Vivian comforts a crying Steve when he thinks about Betty ? Like, she sees him crying in his room and... hugs him ? Something like this ? Idk if it makes sense at all since they never interacted...

(yeah Idk how to develop this question and idk where to put my request, my bad...)

Angst, angst angst!

It had been a couple of weeks since Betty had been taken from her. The brightest star in all of Tinseltown, the fieriest mouse Vivian had ever known, and probably the dearest friend she’d ever had and now, now she was just gone. Snatched away from the starlet in her prime. The pain was unbearable yet Vivian kept a stiff upper lip, pushing down her own emotions lest something happen to her too before she could rip whoever took Betty from her apart with her own bare hands. Clenching her fists, the mouse took a moment to compose herself, taking a few deep breaths to try and steady her shaky breathing. Why did it have to happen to her? 

Sighing, Vivian headed towards Betty’s old dressing room once more, hoping that this time she might be able to find some sort of clue that could point her in the right direction of who she should direct all her anger towards. As she reached the room she went to open the door but her hand stalled, floating inches from the wood as her ears perked up. It sounded like someone was already in there. A sudden wave of fresh anger swept over her, how dare someone be in there right now! If it was one of the directors she’d give them a right piece of her mind and send them scampering with their tails between their legs! Huffing she pushed open the door but her voice caught in her throat as she recognised who was in the room already. The magician sat by Betty’s vanity, his head buried in his arms as he sobbed, completely unaware of her presence as he wallowed in his own grief.

Betty used to talk about the little magician she’d caught herself all the time they were together. Originally Vivian had thought she was only with him for his money. Someone like Betty could do so much better than being a stage hand for some half baked magician of all things. But as time went on Vivian began to realise that maybe Betty really did see something else in the mouse. She would gush over him every chance she got, going on and on about all the things he’d done, what they had planned for their next show, all the little stupid things he’d do that only someone complete head over heels would even notice. She was completely smitten and with how Vivian had seen them interact the few times she’d actually seen them together it was fair to say he felt the same way. He looked at her like the brightest star in the night sky, damn he looked at her like she was the sun with how much love and devotion he showered her with each and every moment he saw her. Not really the man Vivian would pursue but it was still good to have seen Betty so happy.

Snapping back from her own thoughts she looked down at the sobbing mouse once more, a knot forming in her chest. Slowly she made her way into the small room, shutting the door behind her which finally caught his attention. 

“I-I’m sorry, b-but could you p-please leave me a-alone. I… I just want to be a-alone with w-what’s left o-of her…” His voice was barely above a whisper, never turning to look at her as he just curled more into himself. Hesitating, Vivian took a moment to consider before she made her way over. Silently she wrapped her arms around the other mouse’s shoulders, bringing him into a hug as she just lay her head against the back of his. The mouse tensed up at the sudden contact but after a moment Vivian heard him sniffle before he reached out a shaking hand to tightly grip onto hers like she would be ripped away from him like his love was. Vivian was never the best at comforting anyone, it wasn’t in her character to really think of others, bar those she actually cared about. That was just the nature of working in an industry as cut throat as film, this business didn’t favour the kind hearted. But at this moment, she was probably with the only other person in the world who could understand her grief to the degree it deserved. Pulling in the other mouse closer, she felt herself beginning to well up as she tried to fight back her own tears.

“I miss her too. Every damn day. I know what you’re going through, Steve. I… I am so sorry for your loss. Both our losses.”

Steve just whimpered before a fresh wave of tears overcame him as they both just clung to one another, lost in their combined grief and planning on how they were going to correct the injustice that had been done to the one they both loved so much.

What would make Steve and/or Jack cry and what would Stteve love and hate ?

Going to be real I think Steve is the more emotional of the two so there's a lot more things that would make him cry more than Jack. Plus it Jack would think it would ruin his hardball gumshoe persona if he cried

Steve:

Would cry over ads of sad animals. Those hang in there baby cat posters, make him tear up.

Sad romance movies, a real good tear jerker and he's crying. Was it a happy ending? Yeah he's crying at that too

Obviously he cries over the loss of anyone important to him. He isn't one to get over his grief very easily as we can see from the whole robo-Betty

Cries sometimes when he gets too overwhelmed by it with good or bad emotions.

Jack:

Very rarely cries but when he does its usually over people he loves being hurt or worse

Sometimes gets emotional over memories from the war but tries to keep that inside. Just bury those down with some fondue and talking with John

Used to be a lot more open with his emotions before the war but the war toughened him up so to speak but he's working on it.

He would never admit it but he does tear up at a good movie or book.

Oh also cries over Tammy/Millie achieving like anything but gets called a daft sod by her for it.

Oh and for what Steve loves and hates:

Loves: Betty, Jack and Corny, Magic, Money, Books, Fondue, The Unknown

Hates: BMP, Ze Scientists, Cultists, War, Miles and Milford in particular, Losing the ones he loves

[sergestilesart]

Just for fun, I decided to redraw my first ever sketch of Jack! Now that I've drawn him a million times since then. Tried to take about the same amount of time (which is why I left some imperfections and why the background still makes no sense! Hooray!)

i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

[aspergerasparagus]

Hey , I want to hear something from me Omegaverse Jack Pepper As A Omega but is a suppressing pills hide his omega sencet practically himself as a Beta & Steve Bandel As A Alpha

Imma be real I had to go a like read the dang wiki cos I know not a lot about this subject. The basics yes but the overall thing not so much.

All I can think is that Steve trying to be all alpha and Jack just tells him to shut up and he's in the corner apologising. Also Jack losing all his meds in the dang fire and being more annoyed about having to get more cos if its in America, Those meds can't be cheap. Rip his wallet.

[aspergerasparagus]

Could zombo Jack try to cook the meat he eats? Or does it have to be raw or else he gets sick or something?

Oh he usually has it cooked so Steve can pretend it's like just normal food and to help Jack maintain some semblance of normalcy. He only ever eats it raw if he's extremely hungry or if he's getting it fresh from the source but during those times he's not exactly thinking straight.

Pre-Wedding Jitters

@tweed-tune-on-friday I have a request Jack and Steve getting married and having a kid also make jack adopt Millie in this au

Wedding day wedding day wedding day! And Millie!

Steve stood in front of the mirror, fixing his tie for the umpteenth time. The nerves were really starting to rear their ugly head right now as he finally just sighed, giving up as he just stepped back, taking a moment to inspect himself. It had been awhile since he’d last worn a proper suit and tie, maybe to one of those fancy dinner party formals Betty took him to a few years back? He just grimaced at his own reflection, resisting the urge to try and fix his hair again. Why hadn’t he agreed to just having a little party like Jack had suggested? Just a little private thing with just them, their friends and the kids but oh no the great Steve Bandel just had to insist on doing a whole song and dance about this. Why don’t we just host it at my mansion, we can invite everyone there, get a band, get a whole ass wedding planner! Urghh he really was over his head and now he was paying the price for it.

Cursing to himself softly the mouse was suddenly snapped away from his little pity party as he heard a soft chuckle from behind. Jack was leaning against the door frame, a warm smile on his face as he’d probably been there for a while now, just watching the magician fuss over himself. Wonderful, Steve felt his cheeks turning pink as he just sighed as the other mouse made his way over.

“You shouldn’t be here, Jack. You know what they say, it’s bad luck for a groom to see his bride before the big day.” Jack just huffed as he wrapped his arms around Steve’s waist, bringing him in close so they could gently nuzzle one another.

“Oh so I’m the bride in this? I ain’t weaning a wedding dress so I think that little superstition doesn’t apply right now so we should be fine. Besides, you look like you could use a little encouragement. Wedding day jitters?” Steve let out a soft sigh as he nodded sheepishly.

“Not about the wedding ceremony itself, just more so there’s so much going on and so much that could go wrong, it's all just…”

“Just a lot, overwhelming even. I know the feeling, I’m terrified I’ll forget my damn lines and all I have to do is repeat what Corny says!” That got a giggle out of the magician, his nerves melting away as Jack cuddled him. 

“I’m just worried Millie is going to yell something out during the objections after Bozo told her about it. Remind me why we hired him as her babysitter?”

“He’s fantastic with kids and Millie loves him. Plus he’s cheap.” 

That earned another round of giggles but it was cut short as speaking of the devil, their little moment alone was cut short as a familiar high pitched yell was heard quickly approaching them. Millie soon barged into the room, Tammy hot on her tail as she tried to grab her.

“Dad, why are you hiding in here with Pa! You said you’d help me practise my entrance!” Jack just sighed as he rolled his eyes, a smile of endearment sneaking onto his lips as he pried himself away from his fiancee to deal with their daughter.

“I know Millie, but can’t me and your Pa have a moment alone for a second? It’s kind of a big day to day after all.” The little half shrew shook her head, her little cheeks turning red as she huffed, adamant that she was going to get her way.

“Nuh-uh! Tammy says it’s bad luck and I don’t want that! So you better come and help me practise now cos you’ve jinxed us! A-and I don’t want anything bad to happen, not to you and Pa…” She trailed off as she fiddled with the hem of her dress, her eyes drifting to the floor. It was clear what she was implying. The mice just looked at one another before bending down so they could pull her into a tight hug.

“Hey kiddo, nothing is going to happen to me, your Dad or you. It’s going to be a great day, you’re going to be the highlight when everyone sees you as the flower girl and how cute you look in your new dress. So you have nothing to worry about at all, plus we got your favourite flavour of cake as one of the tiers on the wedding cake~” Steve always knew what to say to cheer the little girl up as her eyes suddenly brightened as her ears perked up at the sound of cake.

“I told you a chocolate cake was the best one to go for. And I do look very cute, it would be a shame if no one got to see it.” Jack could only chuckle at that as he pulled her in close, placing a little kiss on her head before ruffling her hair.

“That’s my girl. Now come on, let’s go practice with Tammy so we can let your Pa go check on the preparations.” Getting to his feet, Jack went to follow after the girls before he suddenly stumbled, his balance going suddenly. Thankfully Steve was quick on his feet as he scooped the other mouse in close, supporting him until the dizziness passed.

“Easy Jackie I got you. Take it slow, remember.”

“Yeah, yeah I remember, I don’t need you mothering me about it. I’ll be fine Steve, now you go deal with this shotgun wedding and I’ll see you on the aisle later.” The detective just flashed his fiancee a cheeky wink before stealing a quick kiss, much to Millie disdain who kicked up a fuss about it as Jack ushered her out of the room as Tammy just sniggered behind them. Steve just smiles as he waved them off. Suddenly all those nerves had gone, leaving only a giddy eagerness in its place as the magician glanced back at the mirror one final time before taking off himself to make the final checks for his and Jack’s big day.
