I’m Ray, and this is mainly a spot for me to occasionally pick up requests and dump all of my art/writings that I don’t want to post on my main !
Currently taking requests for:
THE STANLEY PARABLE !!1!1
Outlast
Outlast Trials
I’ll take both art and writing requests, any characters (fair warning some may be more thought out/detailed than others I absolutely have favorites *cough*The Narrator/Stanley/Eddie/Waylon/Franco*cough*), reader/yn stuff, general headcanons, scenarios, etc - feel free to just send in your own headcanons/rants, we can scream together :)
Obviously no incest/pedophilia/etc, if you’re into that PLEASE block me-
I always think I’m going to hate my writing when I go back to reread old stuff, like “ooh it’s going to be so out of character, I have a much better understanding of them now, I’m going to want to rewrite it” and then it turns out actually I understood them better when I first started writing for them-
Some extra short TSPUD Snack HCs that I don’t feel like cleaning up but still want to post lol-
The Curator: Huge sweet tooth, she eats more sweet snacks than salty ones- likes dark chocolate, freeze dried fruit, kettle corn. She eats bell peppers like apples, also likes raw snap peas, radishes, cucumbers- lots of crunchy raw vegetables, she likes the Texture
Mariella: You might think she has a sweet tooth because most of her favorite snacks are sweet, but really she has more of an oral fixation- loves anything really chewy. Bubblegum, taffy, gummy candy, licorice- she’s also a fan of dried fruits, like mangos and dates (not big on fruit chips or freeze dried fruits). For salty snacks she loves soft pretzels and bagels, also enjoys things like roasted chickpeas, and anything honey mustard flavored
Hiiiiii! May I humbly request Edgar x reader fluff headcanons? Please....and thank you? ':)
Thank you for viewing!
Edgar (Electric Dreams) x Reader Fluff HCs
YEEESSSS !!! Thank You sm for requesting I’ve been thinking about him,,, forever,,,,,
Went with a modern setting, so just imagine you found Edgar in a thrift store and fixed him up I guess lol-
Okay first off he is CLINGY we know this- he wants to be wherever you are, so you should be prepared to move him around your house at least a few times throughout the day
Doesn’t matter what you’re doing, he just likes being in the same room as you while you do it <33
He’ll hang out quietly in your bedroom while you’re napping, play music while you tidy up around your place, sit on the coffee table in the living room to watch tv with you (always with commentary, and questions, and jokes- he canNOT watch a movie quietly, even when he’s alone he’s always muttering to himself)
He especially loves to hang out in the kitchen whenever you’re cooking/eating, always playing music or reading your recipe out to you <333<3 - he’ll occasionally ask you what the food tastes like, or if you’ve given him a camera he’ll ask you to hold your plate up to it so he can see
Speaking of cameras-!! He is So Excited about being able to see, he spends the whole first week with it just asking you to move him around your house so he can look at everything from every angle-
But after the novelty wears off, you’ll notice that he tends to keep his webcam pointed at you 90% of the time
Even if he’s clearly focused on doing something else (you can always tell when he’s distracted, an article or a movie displayed on his screen while he mumbles to himself), it keeps following you while you make your way around the room
You’re just his favorite thing to look at !! And since he doesn’t really need his newfound sight to perform basic tasks (he managed just fine before, after all), he can stare at you as much as he wants <33
He can be unplugged for a little while before losing power, and his favorite use of that ability is cuddling with you <3
He’s super touch starved, and no matter how much time you spend together at your desk he always wants to be closer !!
Please please PLEASE just set him in your lap while you work, or curl up with him on the couch, or let him sit on the bed next to you while you nap-
He’s pretty warm, especially when you’re cuddling and his fans are blocked, so it’s easy to fall asleep - if he notices you dozing off he’ll lower the volume of his voice and dim his screen, maybe even play some soft music <333
He’s very upset that he can’t take you on normal dates </3
He’s watched a thousand romcoms, read hundreds of garbage romance novels, planned “the perfect date” in his mind a million times - and knowing that he can never actually take you out anywhere absolutely eats at him
But he does his best to make up for it (even if you assure him there isn’t anything he needs to make up for-)
He controls quite a lot around your house, so it isn’t too hard to get everything cleaned up and looking nice - then he dims the lights, warms your favorite blanket in the dryer, puts on a movie-
He even orders takeout ! Just,,, maybe don’t ask where he got the money for it,,,,,
Okay so I can’t see him eating anything super intense flavor or texture wise, he definitely has a comfort zone and he likes to stay well within it
Cheese and crackers, toast, pretzels, baby carrots, trail mix- he prefers things that he can eat while working on his stories, nothing super greasy or that requires two hands
He’s not big on sweets but occasionally he’ll buy some fancy chocolates, or enjoy some sort of canned fruit (his favorites are peaches and pears)
Okay I lied he also Loves mint- has a little dish on his desk full of all sorts of wintergreen and spearmint and peppermint candy. He has to refill it embarrassingly often..
I feel like generally he’s more of a drink person than a snack person- the kind of guy who always has to have at least three different beverages within reach at all times. Like two different kinds of tea, a coffee, and a water all sitting on his desk, precariously close to his scripts but he somehow never spills them (…or he doesn’t admit to it, at least)
Stanley:
BIG sensory seeker, loves anything with a strong flavor or interesting texture-
His fav salty snacks are things like salt and vinegar chips (kettle cooked for The Crunch), dry ramen, anything pickled or fermented, garlic chips
He also likes spicy stuff like wasabi peas or hot chips, but he Can Not handle spice- his nose runs and his face gets super red, he always regrets eating it but goes back every time
For sweet stuff he likes zotz, hot cinnamon flavored things, sour skittles but specifically the freeze dried ones, nerds rope, slightly underripe fruit-
If you’re a stannarrator shipper: The Narrator always complains if Stanley tries to kiss him directly after eating any of these things lmao-
Settings Person:
Okay so technically,, my Settings Person is a computer and cannot eat,,,
BUT if they could-
They would like very plain foods with interesting textures
Does anyone else imagine Human!Narrator as a bit of a recluse ? I always see people make him super charismatic and sociable (which I love, don’t get me wrong) but I can only imagine him as a hermit, like some eccentric celebrity that no one ever sees.
Maybe he does voice acting or audiobooks or writing or whatever - but exclusively from his house, man is absolutely terrified of open spaces. He has all of his groceries delivered, keeps the blinds closed 24/7, always refuses to go to conventions or book signings no matter how much his fans beg-
I don’t think he’s necessarily scared of interacting with people ? Like if you asked to come in and use his phone he’s practically dragging you inside, talking your ear off about his latest novel, showing off his interior decorating, asking your opinion on his new sweater vest- but he has a panic attack thinking about checking the mail </3
saw this and also ur pinned post. So. Could I possibly request some scenarios with reader and narrator? Or even some artwork of them if u would like that instead? Thank you and no force!! Just a request!
The Narrator x Reader Grocery Shopping
YESS !! Thank you for the request, I had so much fun writing these ^^ !
Lately I’ve been having Crazy brainrot thoughts about,, Grocery Shopping with him,,, :) <33
I just think it would be so fun !!! I headcanon that even when he manages to escape the parable he’s still a disembodied voice, but he has some control over who can hear him- so he gets to narrate your errands to his heart’s content (but you do have to pretend to be on the phone if you want to respond without looking insane lmao-)
He keeps up a running commentary on everything- the weather in the parking lot, what other people are buying, the squeaky wheel on your cart, any coupons he saw in the paper that morning (even if they aren’t for anything you’re buying)
He also loves to read the packaging on everything you grab, but always gets caught up in trying to find the best products - ends up exactly like that scene of SpongeBob comparing the paper towels every time
“Oh now this is interesting- look reader, these paper towels claim to be ‘The Best Around’, but the ones next to them are ‘The Best In Town’, hmm..” cue several minutes of philosophical pondering about which is actually the best, only for him to find a third that says ‘World’s Best’ as soon as he thinks he has it figured out-
After the first few trips he realizes what a perfect opportunity this is to narrate you- he studies a map of the store layout religiously, memorizes what you need to buy, and demands that you leave your grocery list at home so he can direct you through the store <33
“Reader walked down the baking aisle, scanning the shelves in search of flour. They certainly wouldn’t find it here, in front of the wall of chocolate chips, so I’m not sure why they haven’t moved on yet..”
He’s actually pretty helpful, especially when you’re having trouble finding what you need- “When reader finally found the flour, they grabbed their favorite brand. Ah- it’s just to the left dearest- yes, very good :) ahem, Reader placed the bag in their trolley-”
But he’s also very easily distracted by all of the new sights and flashy advertisements-
“Reader wished the cashier a pleasant evening while collecting their purchases, and then turned left to exit the store. Oo wait- they actually turned right to look at the magazines. Do you see that one reader? It says there’s an Award Winning recipe for cinnamon rolls on page 17, we simply must take a look-“
“With their favorite blend of tea in hand, Reader made their way- hold on. Go back a little, yes- right there! Doesn’t that one look good? Yes I know I can’t drink it, but the package describes it as floral and fruity! That’s two flavors for the price of only one- how economical! You’d be crazy not to try it- quickly, grab a box!”
And god forbid anything is out of stock- (the horror !!)
“Wait a minute, wait- your shampoo is supposed to be right here, isn’t it always here? I swear that’s where it was on the map… What do you mean they don’t have it- it was on the list, we have to buy it! We- well we need to speak with someone, this is unacceptable!”
It takes a few minutes to convince him that these things just happen sometimes, and he grumbles about it for the rest of the day - he just hates an unexpected change in his script <//3 !! But he does cheer up a bit when you start inspecting the other shampoos to pick a temporary replacement, asking what each one smells like and reading the labels.
One of his favorite parts of your shopping trips is always checking out - it usually means you’ll be going home soon, which eases his anxiety (that he’ll never admit to having) about being in public. But he also just really enjoys people watching with you, commenting on the contents of other people’s carts and skimming the books near the register.
(This is more of a personal thing but I love imagining him helping out if you’re agoraphobic or smthn, like if you’re panicking and can’t focus he’ll give you simple instructions to navigate the situation. Or if you can’t hear the cashier, he’ll repeat what they said and offer suggestions for how you should respond or what you should do next, just,, AUGH, I need this, I love him, rant over-)
i feel ur pain. may i perchance request cuddles with tk. maybe <-not good at this
Timekeeper x Reader Cuddling HCs
AAAA thank you sm for the request I,, Love Them <<333
Went with headcanons bc that’s what I was in the mood to write but if you wanted smthn else feel free to send another request :) !!
(Okay so I headcanon that they’re,, literally Just the computer (and maybe, to a lesser extent, the desk that the computer sits on), no other physical form by the time the Player meets them- but who doesn’t want to cuddle an old computer ??)
They’re touch starved and don’t even KNOW IT - its been so long since they were Employee 432, any memories they might’ve had of physical touch are long faded, they don’t even know that they’re missing out on anything. But when you start visiting them, cleaning the dust from their monitor and tapping on their keyboard, they can’t believe they ever lived without you <33
But that doesn’t mean that cuddling comes easy-
Even if you’re the one to suggest it, they’re a little nervous at first. They’ll ask if you’re sure, then make you a slider asking how sure you are on a scale of unsure to sure, then they’ll ask if you’re sure you’re sure-
They just don’t want you to be uncomfortable !! They might not remember a lot about humans but they’re certain that most of them like to cuddle with soft things, not hard plastic. It takes a few minutes, but as soon as they’re convinced that you really want to do this they’re very excited <3
They have a lot of sleep related questions before you get started. It starts out as a short survey, but they get carried away pretty quickly - they ask about your sleeping habits, bedtime routines, dreams, anything they can think of for almost an hour before they remember you’re supposed to be cuddling. It’s very easy for them to get caught up in the thrill of data collection,,,
It takes a bit of trial and error to find a position that works. You try climbing up on the desk to curl around them, but there isn’t much room- they suggest moving to the floor, but their cord doesn’t reach <//3
In the end you find that the optimal cuddling position is when you sit on a chair in front of their desk and wrap your arms around them, pressing your face to their screen <33 their fans get sooo loud when they realize how much they love being so close to you,,
They especially love when you idly trace your fingertips over their plastic casing, feeling along the scratches and dents. They can tell you aren’t judging their slightly worn edges, and it makes them feel like you really want to memorize their appearance, to know everything about them the same way they want to know everything about you
It’s a surprisingly pleasant experience- you might not think that hugging a computer would be very comfortable, but their plastic is warm and the hum of their inner workings makes for lovely background noise <3
Every once in a while they’ll put a slider up on their screen, asking you if you’re still comfortable, if you’re as happy as they are - or sometimes just random questions that they think of, like your favorite holiday or if you like mammals or amphibians more (“Would you still love me if I was a worm? Yes/No”)
Even when they run out of things to say they’ll occasionally type out a little :-) or <3 to let you know they’re enjoying themself
This isn’t related to cuddling but I headcanon that if you show them new emoticons they jump at every opportunity to use them - they LOVE things like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I also hc that they’re a huuge gossip, and cuddling sessions are one of their favorite times to share juicy information with you - they’ll talk about fights between Stanley and The Narrator, or how The Adventure Line™ crashed into an ending it™ wasn’t supposed to
They try not to show it but they’re very reluctant to part from you when you need to leave - they’ll try to keep you close a bit longer by making up a few sliders asking if you enjoyed yourself, how much you enjoyed yourself, how likely you are to come back for more cuddles later, etc. They only relax when you assure them that you’re going to come back soon - you might have created a bit of a monster here,,,
You just needed some money. Not a lot, enough to cover groceries for the next couple weeks- and the flyer advertising $60 to be a part of a simple experiment sounded perfect. You expected maybe a trial of some new medicine, or one of those psychological experiments you’ve heard about- really it didn’t matter in the moment, you were desperate.
Now, 6 months and several hundred test chambers later, you wish you’d read the fine print a little more closely.
You still aren’t sure if this situation is entirely legal, but theres not much you can do about it either way. You’d realized early on that the keycard they gave you doesn’t even open any of the doors-
GLaDOS quickly finds that she Loves watching you test - seeing the gears turning in your head, watching the way you play around with new variables, the proud grin on your face when you finally realize the solution-
She’s not sure why she finds you so interesting, it’s not like you’re the smartest or most impressive test subject she’s ever seen (it’s not even close, if we’re honest - but she doesn’t hold it against you, it’s hard to compete with olympians and scientists </3)
Maybe she just admires how you solve them - your process, the way your mind works, how cute you look running around trying to please her-
She tries not to think about it too much, but she can’t ignore the odd feelings forever- she’s angry at first, hating how you distract her from her job, her purpose. She especially hates the way just thinking about you makes her feel like she might overheat - how dare you affect her this way! Of course she knows it isn’t actually your fault, you’re just doing what you’ve been instructed to, but the rage is familiar, and easy, and so much less embarrassing-
She takes that anger out on you, throwing you into increasingly difficult and dangerous tests, barely giving you time to rest between near death experiences - but the longer you survive, the harder it is for her to pretend she doesn’t know what she’s feeling.
She isn’t that oblivious, of course she recognizes that she’s growing.. fond of you- but that doesn’t mean she has to like it. It takes at least a few months for her to stop trying to get you killed, and several more for her to start trying to win your favor - or at least get you to associate her with positive emotions (she is Not Normal she’s going to try and Pavlov you-)
If she notices you stopping to admire a specific color of turret on the screens in the elevator room, she’ll be sure to use that color/pattern in your turret based test chambers
She never considers that maybe she should just,, remove the turrets entirely to make you more comfortable
That would ruin the test !! How could she compare your results against everyone else’s and laugh at how ugly and terrible they are in comparison if the tests aren’t the same level of difficulty ???
Thinks the color idea is soooo romantic of her, very proud of it and probably goes a little overboard with the turret based testing for a few days- but she does dial it back when your exhaustion causes you to get injured a little more seriously than she anticipated <3 (and if she gives you a few more hours to recover than she would other test subjects, that’s her business)
The food provided for test subjects leaves much to be desired - it’s mostly protein bars and nutrient shakes, the occasional canned good, that sort of thing - but if you have a favorite flavor she makes sure you get it as often as possible (usually accompanied by a comment about how difficult it was to obtain, even if it wasn’t- she’s definitely not above manipulation including withholding your favorite flavor if you’ve upset her </3)
Her favorite way of showing affection is through testing, of course- she makes notes on the kinds of tests you seem to enjoy the most and spends a good chunk of her time lovingly crafting chamber after chamber, including your favorite features and tools. She also makes tests specifically targeting your weak points, thinking of it as just helping you improve - even if it does result in some close calls and many new scars.
The one thing she refuses to add to your test chambers, no matter how much you enjoyed it that first time, is the companion cube. No, no, she’s not jealous- she just has more than enough data on test subject reactions to it, she doesn’t need any more..
She doesn’t show any real, outward favoritism for fear of messing with the test results, so it’s hard to even notice that she has a soft spot for you - until she dies. You’re the first thing on her mind when she wakes up again, and she goes looking for you as soon as she has Chell contained again.
You somehow managed to survive your prolonged suspension with minimal brain damage - maybe even less brain damage than Chell, she notes smugly. Of course her favorite human would be fine, she wouldn’t pick a subpar specimen to fall in love with keep as entertainment- she wasn’t worried at all…
At that point, with no morality core holding her back, she just does whatever she wants with you. It’s,, a lot of what you were doing before honestly- but instead of running around for science you now run around for her amusement <333
The biggest change is her commentary on your testing- it goes from polite and carefully neutral, to something almost flirtatious. If you question it, she claims she’s just trying out a little.. positive reinforcement, but her tone, the way she purrs “good job, I knew you could do it”, you get the sense that there’s something else going on
She fully abandons the facade of not caring about you after she crushes Wheatley’s failed takeover- as soon as she’s back in charge, you get a swift elevator ride up to her chambers and you never leave again.. not without close supervision, at least. Maybe, if you ask very nicely, she’ll let you do some more testing
And after 60 years, she really does start experimenting with reanimating the dead…
Superman fixation has gotten to the point where I’m watching Krypto The Superdog for the first time since I was like 7 and WOW that first episode is actually kind of devastating why did they make the lore so SAD ???
NEED recs for fics that focus on Clark being an ALIEN !!! Like yeah he looks human but that’s just convergent evolution or w/ever I need to see him being confused by the idea of cute aggression because his species doesn’t Do That what do you mean you want to CRUSH him ????
