Metalocalypse ended 7 years ago and I'm still sad

This is a place for me to post about MTL and put up fan art. My main is keanuweeps.tumblr.com. I'm jaded_heron on ao3.

I have once again found myself in a time in my life where I am working nonstop and I turn to writing my fic for comfort and there is something so sweet about coming online to see what the scene is like in that process and seeing so many new faces in the fandom. I follow from keanuweeps, hope every1 is having a brootal day.

What if Nathan and Pickles worked at UPS and on break Nathan would show Pickles all this stuff on his phone shitting himself nervous that Pickles thought it was boring but actually Pickles just likes listening to him?

Anyway that's what I got for ya.

Chapter 4 of "Don't Be Tender with Me" is now up!

Preview:

Pickles takes another draw from his cigarette, and notes the way that Nathan’s sleep-puffy eyelids make a heavy, sort of wanton curve in his eyelashes as he looks up at Pickles, all bleary. Pickles wags his chin up at Nathan, and then ashes his cigarette out the window. Nathan takes a turn wetting his lips, and Pickles is reminded of many times he’d encounter wild animals in Wisconsin, and try and tempt them closer by being quiet and slow and non-threatening. He remembers, too, how he’d always fail, because he’d start to get excited, and move just a hair too soon on impulse. Pickles doesn’t know what about him is a threat to Nathan Explosion anymore, and so he just takes another drag, and pulls his feet up onto the counter to sit cross-legged. Pickles decides, fuck it. He’s never been the type for the long game. “You gonna run away again, or you wanna bum a smoke? Gotta decide soon. I’m gettin’ impatient,” Pickles offers, smiling crookedly. Nathan breathes out of his nostrils hard, making them flare, and then he just comes by the window and offers Pickles his hand. Pickles puts the proffered loosie in it. Nathan perches it between his lips and Pickles hands him his lighter, then. “I was thinkin’ about askin’ if you wanted me to buttfuck it to you, but I figured that’d be out of line,” Pickles jokes. He ashes out the window.

I know it has been a long time coming, but I hope you guys can still enjoy it (heart)! As always there are chapter-by-chapter content warnings :) Happy pride!

I love how Metalocalypse has like an entire episode dedicated to Pickles learning how to tell his mom to fuck off when she’s being an unreasonable bitch. Pickles spends almost the entire episode trying to get some approval that everyone knows he isn’t going to get so everyone including Charles is like “Tell her to go fuck herself” it isn’t one of those ‘you should always respect your mom’ episodes or doing something like making Pickles seem like he’s being unreasonably harsh on his mom so there’s a certain satisfaction from hearing him finally accept she’s being terrible and telling her off.

New Chapter!

Don’t Be Tender with Me is a direct continuation of my previous fic, Some Days are for Dying, which likely does not need to be read first. It is essentially a preklok fic where Pickles is a trans man who is coping with CPTSD while he is trying to navigate the unfolding world around him through shifting band dynamics, various canon events, and a budding relationship with Nathan Explosion.  DBTWM picks up directly after Magnus stabs Nathan, whereas SDAFD follows from when Pickles joins Dethklok until the stabbing.

DBTWM does focus more on the relationship between Pickles and Nathan, and does feature explicitly sexual content between them, unlike the first fic.  As both fics deal frequently with potentially very triggering content, as I have done previously, there will be chapter by chapter content warnings.  Below the cut you can find links to the first chapter (as I believe this is my first promo here for the fic?) and the most recent chapter, complete with the content warnings and brief previews.

Chapter 1 - “Я так люблю тебя”

CW: death references, cops, explicit sexual content between consenting adults wherein they both have a good time pretty much.

It’s a prank, kind of, right?  He gets up gingerly, as though the mere stirring of the air will awaken Nathan. He sneaks around like he’s in a spy movie, his back to the walls, peering around corners. There is no station wagon in the front window, at least that Pickles’ can see as he runs on tiptoes through the living room.  And then of course the noise starts; a crashing of dishes, slamming of eggs into the countertop, the sizzle of sliced baloney in the pan.  Mayonnaise to cover up where the meat is overcooked and the rest is underdone, even the toast, somehow, is ruined.  Pickles raids the fridge and finds orange juice, which he waters down to stretch it into two glasses, and then he brings the lot of it back to Nathan’s bedroom having forgotten his secrecy in the face of his surprise.

And it’s fun, it’s a fun joke, right?  How ridiculous! That he should make breakfast.  That it’s semi-edible, after Nathan has caught Pickles so many times gnawing on frozen eggo waffles and eating raw chuck steak like potato chips.  The look on his face is going to be so good, so worth it.  It’ll be so funny!  What a gas! What a fun joke between best friends!

It’s not because he has feelings, or anything. Obviously.

Chapter 3 - “A Street that Rhymes at 6am”

CW:  substance use/abuse including by underage people, extremely nonexplicit references to CSA, references to consenting sexual situations between older teenagers, bigotry and internalized bigotry that will not be an issue if nothing else thus far has been, and an explicitly sexual scene between consenting and enthusiastic adults with very light d/s themes.

 “Murderface?” Pickles asks again, and the second “fuck off!” he gets back is confirmation.

 And it is good; it is lovely, because Will has inadvertently saved Pickles from falling ass-deep into oblivion.  Into the everything and the nothing that lives in strings below the content of the world, invisible to anyone who hasn’t slipped down there and had to climb out. To people whose hands are clean and healed, to people who haven’t had time unstuck.

Or perhaps, down there-- perhaps it is all shards of broken, damp bone.  The underside of a house, a crawl-through to keep it off the ground like they have here, in Florida, to stave off the flooding.  And Pickles has to be here, has to go there, and crawl through all of the snakes and alligators, and wrestle against their scaly, handless mass, and come out on the other side and find an Explosion family barbecue.

I’m working on the new DBTWM chapter because school is finally over and I ended up scrapping like 30 pages because I don’t feel like anyone needs pickles being a drama queen again? And the new stuff is good it’s much better, but I decided to make the boys fool around again near the end because they’re finally home and there’s like a 7 page section now aimed at obliterating every fic in which people pretend anyone on the entire earth could suck Nathan’s dick in a way that still seems sexy

I’m still deciding how to shore things up after that but I do think that Toki will enter the story either this chapter or the next and I’m excited about it because I have a bunch of really fun scenes planned for him haha

I always thought it was wierd when people made pickles into some sort of coquettish twink and nathan into an overly agressive brute since pickles is canonically the most violent member of dethklok and nathan is a gentle giant who only really gets violent if the other members are in danger.

[gogomeaty]

Tell me in the tags the order in which you like the five members of dethklok, I'm curious!

[explosiontooth]

One of favorite parts about Doomstar Requiem is that you can tell halfway through they were like “holy shit… pickles’ singing voice😳😳😳” and then gave him more solo parts than Nathan

The idea behind this one is like… Jennifer’s Body a bit, but it’s that Pickles goes back to Snakes n Barrels and regrows his hair because he gets possessed by a glam rock demon. It was for Snuff Films Zine last October. I’m playing with the idea of selling prints so reply/message if you’d be interested!

I lost my tablet pen in my bedroom somewhere, which is literally 5.5 ft by 10 ft, and to find it I have to clean it out and that has been enough for me to quit art again for basically the entire semester thus far

I have ADHD you cannot imagine how many different rucksacks of chapstick and boxes of electrical cords for products I no longer own there are to look through
