HELLO. WELCOME TO MY PINNED. YOU ARE SAFE HERE. (unless you're not. lookin' at you, terfs >.>)
Call me Bot! They/them pronouns preferred, but she/her is good too, if it's convenient.
I do all sorts of shit, but mostly brainrotting and writing and art.
(And reblogging. Lots of reblogging.)
I'm particularly active in the Owl House fandom (biggest blorbos are Vee, Luz, and Masha), but I do have interests (and posts) outside that.
Art:
My art blog is @botmuffins, but some of my art can be found here under #my art.
I haven't posted a lot of my art to the broader internet, but I'm hoping to fix that in the future.
Writing:
What writing I've posted here can be mostly found under #my writing, although a temporary shadowban near the tail end of my most active writing period here means a lot of those posts unfortunately won't show up anymore.
My ao3 is BranMuffinz. I've only posted 6 fics there so far:
Theseus Who?, a 5+1 postcanon headcanon oneshot about the consequences of Luz's temporary titanification. Notably, does not feature her keeping her titan form/powers.
Meaning Well, a Gus & Hunter christmas shopping oneshot written as a gift for @findmeinthefallair, for the Fic Exchange Coven 2023 event.
Let Vee Say Fuck, my contribution to the @vee-fanzine in 2024. It's fluff and comedy about Cabin 7 teaching Vee-as-Luz how to swear.
Occam's Razor, a somewhat angsty ficlet I wrote as part of @vee-week 2024, in which Vee reflects on (and chooses) her name.
The Disappearance of Masha DeLisle, a canon-divergent fic in which Masha trips and falls into a wild portal to the Demon Realm before the end of camp. It was also written as part of Vee Week 2024, and as the prologue to a series I'm tentatively calling Unreality Check.
Winning Play (From the Jaws of Defeat), a bit of simple veesha fluff-smut I wrote for Wanksgiving.
WIPs:
I have several projects that haven't really seen the light of day yet. Some are writing, some are art, some are both, some are neither, and some are just piles of ideas whose medium hasn't been fully nailed down yet. For some of them, calling them a work in progress may even be a bit generous.
Masha and the Very Normal Nocedas (aka MatVNN), the very first fanfic I ever worked on. It's a Masha-centric veesha longfic that takes place in the same universe as Theseus Who? and Meaning Well (really, they take place in the MatVNN-verse, but alas). It's a mostly canon-compliant story set after Thanks to Them, and follows Masha becoming progressively more confused about the Nocedas' whole deal, what with Luz missing the first month of the school year, coming back unrecognizable, going missing again after Halloween, and then showing up again a week later with Vee and Hunter as her adopted siblings that nobody knew about.
It's planned to take place over the following few months, and play double duty as both a romcom thing with a dramatic irony gimmick, and a peak into what life is like for Luz and her friends/family between the final battle and the epilogue.
The Artificer AU (most immediately Something Like a Bible, aka SLaB), my attempt at a slow-canon-divergence rewrite of the show, with the basic premise of "what if the Day of Unity was about six months further out than in canon". Features such gems as Luz making a fuckton of magical tools (a la the flashy sign in Once Upon a Swap), several new characters and adventures to flesh out the Boiling Isles, a slightly more thorough exploration of the various intersecting magic systems in the show, and polyamory.
It's planned to be a series of fics, with SLaB being a sort of condensed version of the broader story told via a fuckload of snippets, and each fic after that being a specific "episode" of the story.
That said, there are some parts I feel would be best presented as comics, or AMVs, or even a small videogame in one specific case, but I'll cross those bridges when I get there.
The Shits & Giggles AU, a sort of Beta AU of the Artificer AU, in which the characters are all a few years older and I get to make raunchier jokes and stuff. This will mostly be short gag comics, though I might set a somewhat more serious Vee fic in here if the vibes are still right when I get around to it.
Unreality Check, a canon-divergent longfic in which Masha falls into the Demon Realm during late season 1, and gets stuck there when Luz destroys the portal door. It's mostly planned to be a comedy about Masha thinking they got isekai'd into a world where Luz is a totally different person than the girl they met at camp, but the Human Realm side of the story will be a lot angstier, since Vee lost hold of her disguise after watching Masha disappear. Not sure where it'll go after the events of Yesterday's Lie.
Backlight and Bitrot (aka BaB), the first thing on this whole list that isn't just an Owl House fanfic! Instead, it's a fusion of The Owl House and Code Lyoko (in this case, Owl House characters in a setting like that of Code Lyoko). I threw some ideas at the wall about it a while ago, though some of my plans have changed since then. In short, it's a convoluted AU with a focus on lumity and titanlights.
I'm kinda leaning toward this one being a longfic, with comics and illustrations sprinkled in here and there for flavor (maybe just chapter art. we'll see), but I might still decide to do it as a more typical webcomic. The visual element is important to me with this one.
and finally, A Yet-Unnamed Videogame (tentatively Launch City or Launch Metropolis), the only OC project I've put serious thought into in the last several years. It's a metroidvania in which progress is gated not by what upgrades you've collected, but by what characters/movesets you've unlocked. Set on an artificial island that was once planned to be the base of a space elevator, a group of adventurous punks take on a colorful assortment of rival gangs to conquer The Climb and save the city(?).
With one exception, the state of things right now is such that all the characters are just gameplay vehicles, with no real personalities behind them. The setting, on the other hand, is at least a little bit more fleshed out in my head.
Also, due to some Unfortunate Life Happenings, I haven't given game development a solid try in many years, and thus haven't even started on the actual gamedev part of this project. It's all just words and pictures strewn messily across the various channels of my private discord server.
(Actually, that describes a lot of these WIPs.)
