so from now on all my blogs (this one, @heliopart and @herbertwesttravels will be 18+. As in, no minors allowed.
This doesn't mean I'll be posting/reblogging 18+ things here and my other blogs all the time, just occasionally. The main reason is I dont really want to interact with minors and I want more freedom with what I share.
That being said, with @heliopart since this is still tumblr (yknow what I mean) I will only post previews of my nsft drawings, and the full versions will be on my bluesky account.
To minors reading this, I hope you respect my boundaries and unfollow my blogs. If u dont, I mean I unfortunately cant control what u do, but in my free time I will be blocking anyone with no age in their bio and/or under 18 when I see them. I will give this 24 hours before I do so!
I'll also be adding "18+" in all my bios.
I'm mostly just active on tumblr so my other main social media accounts (instagram, twitter, youtube, and tiktok) will remain all ages until I make an announcement when the time comes.
misc things i love about the among us 2026 show (spoiler free)
- the intro visuals changing with each ep! specifically each new game red plays my fav was the romance game and stardew valley
- when they keep the storyboard drawings for a gag 😭
- the little background easter eggs and details!
- blue the hot doctor 🤤
- how theyre all nonbianry!! everyone's pronouns are they/them
- how good all the VAs are! i rewinded so many times bc a crewmate's delivery was just so good
- the music!!!! i <3 u chrome canyon
- how complex a character red is... man
- how direct they are about the overarching theme being corporations are greedy and shady and cover shit upppp
- how crazy expressive the artists make the crewmates! i also rewinded a lot just to rewatch some of the expressions and animation sequences! specifically the hand gestures purple does in one monologue
- the crewmates' little flaoty hands... so cute
- how bloody and graphic it is!!! and they swear!!! seriously its so impressive how mych they got away with for a pg rating its delightful
- yellow and brown's cute relationship
- cyan and black's cute relationship
- puplre!!!!!! th goat
- all the refs to the game ofc
- how white is incredibly priveleged what could that mean hmmmm
- and of course how good of a murder mystery it is, the twist was done so so well and the ending is cheffffs kiss!!!
my only complaint is some scenes needed longer beats and had pacing issues but thats truly just bc of the eps being 12-13 mins long ://
but as any fan of Infinity Train would know, owen dennis knows how to pack a killer punch in such a short amount of time and baby does this show deliver!
also i hate paramount plus so much. its the worst designed streaming service no contest but anything for owen dennis and the among us art and story crew... the things we do for love
anyways pls go give the among us show a try! i was skeptical at first but it charmed me with the humor and gore! i binged it all in one night
literally only on ep 2 of the Among Us show and i am having the time of my life!!
the expression work the crew is able to do with only the characters' eyes is incredible and so impressive! also kinda unsettling how the gesture lines look like mouths sometimes, genius!
the cast is a blast and everyone does a great job with bringing life into these characters, multiple times i got excited hearing a VA i recognized from a previous animated show (most notably Ashley Johnson!) and unrelated but its so nice to hear chrome canyons music again!!
owen dennis and the crew did such a good job and literally all the jokes make me laugh! also i love how it blends comedy and horror, so excited to watch more!
people of tumblr i need u to know its not rude or bad tumblr etiquette to talk in the tags, i in fact love it and it brings me great joy!! comments and talking in the reblogs are good too, do what u want, but dont be afraid to talk plssss the talking is what makes making the post for the op worth it! :-)
What are the Danbert Islands?
The islands are my name for every iteration of Dan and Herbert that I have created for. They're all a little different, but they're all Danbert.
DANBERT ISLAND DIRECTORY BELOW
FIC LINK /// ISLAND TAG
Due to highly improbable events, Herbert and Dan switch bodies, and things only get worse (better?) from there. Dan’s technically the one that insists they keep touching to a minimum, but the re-agent running through his veins is making him feel… Well…
Recommended if you like: pining, fictional drugs and, as someone coined in my tags and I still think about, “dubcon realness.”
(Rated E. Technically the very first island! The first of many bits that got too serious… Comes off to me as a very baseline Danbert to me now, I was just figuring them out, but I’m very fond of this island still. Respect your elders!)
FIC LINK /// ISLAND TAG
Herbert shows interest in a new co-worker at the hospital, and Dan slowly sinks into confusion and biting anger. He’s never been possessive like this before, and Herbert keeps pushing him to new limits, but he can control it. He can control it.
Recommended if you like: biting, psychological torture, and Daniel Cain finally snapping
(Rated E. Look at the tags if you’ve never read it before, there’s some realll freaks out there.......)
FIC LINK /// ISLAND TAG
Daniel Cain bisexual crisis time, in which he’s torn between desire and per-conceived notions (his roommate really isn’t helping), and decides the thing to do is have anonymous sex in a gay bar… How do we think this goes…
Recommended if you like bisexuality, slutting out, and the long drive home after a wild night out
(rated Extra E, for Everything, and dedicated to people who spin Dan around in their minds… and also like it when he begs)
FIC LINK /// ISLAND TAG
At age 26, Herbert has left his religion, built his own body, and become the scientist he always wanted to be. He hasn’t needed anything else for years, until he meets Dan, loves him, and watches it all fall apart. He can’t stand to stay, he can’t bear to go, and he can’t shake the feeling there’s so much more to them than a few months in Peru should allow.
Recommended if you like: unbearable tension, the dark before the dawn, and being trans even if it pisses people off. Especially if it does.
(My Bride analysis about christian america, nuclear families, interacting with trauma through sex, physical transitioning, and a million other things. But most of all, this story is about iguanas.)
HARDER TO KILL LINK /// SICK FREAK LINK /// ISLAND TAG
H2K covers bother I Should Be Harder To Kill AND Sick Freak, because it’s the same danberts
In “I Should Be Harder To Kill," Dan and Herbert are in their early thirties, a new town, and an intensely codependent relationship. After 5 years of being constantly together, they have to spend a week apart. Herbert finds it easy at first, but as time drags on, he gets lost in memory and there’s few limits to what he’d do to feel like Dan’s still with him.
“On The Sick Freak” takes place two years after the first fic. Dan decides it’s time to deal with Herbert’s recurring terrible attitude while sick once and for all, using all the manipulation he has at his disposal. He recounts their 7 year relationship as he goes, and learns new things about his husband, too. (currently updating.)
Recommended if you like alternative forms of affection, the ins-and-outs of long-term companionship, and getting banned from the library
(This Danbert is criminally easy to write, so I spend a lot of time here. Adorably weird, morbidly sweet, and absolutely freak4freak. Mwah)
ISLAND TAG
Dan’s quiet life as a priest is upturned as Herbert, an exorcist, pulls Dan into a strange world of demon hunting and dark magic, one that costs him his religion, his wife, and his body. Now, as they attempt to expel the powerful demon possessing Dan, both find themselves tested; Herbert by unexpected attachment, and Dan by the demon is far too similar to himself.
Recommended if you like sharp teeth, being drenched in blood, and strange gay sex on level previously unseen
(comparatively ancient, first Danbert AU. What happens in this story is not particularly cohesive; I tend to go by TLC rules: if it’s crazy, sexy, or cool, I’m there.)
ISLAND TAG
Hundreds of years in the future, on a small winter planet called Arkham, Dan finds himself drowning in medical bills and completely broke. He works as an assistant to the eccentric Dr. West and his glowing green alien companion, Remi. It’s romance, comedy, horribly long work days, and finding warmth in even the coldest places.
Recommended if you like workplace romances, campy space hijinks, and meddling in Dan and Herbert’s relationship
(This is my comfort island. I love it here. Find me here any day.)
ISLAND TAG
On a dark and stormy night, in a castle on a hill, Herbert West creates life! Dan, as the creature calls itself, is Herbert’s finest creation and an ideal assistant. Or he was supposed to be; instead he’s disgruntled, argumentative, and worst of all, growing more and more interested in being more than co-workers. It’s not easy having a good time…
Recommended if you like rocky horror picture show, particularly mad science, and clocking out after a long shift
(This AU is similar to Exorcist x Priest in that it’s low on the rules, but in this case, I’m aiming for campy, sexy, and whatever bit is funniest.)
ISLAND TAG
Dan works as a mechanic at the track where Herbert races, and spends many afternoons patching up Herbert’s bike and the man himself. Herbert fears no death, a daredevil and a dominant in equal capacity. Dan grows slowly more obsessed, and agrees to be Herbert’s submissive; the click of the lock around his neck marks a swift departure from the life he once knew.
Recommended if you like: Bondage and bootlicking, leather and latex, or maybe just the smell of gasoline.
(okay listen, there’s like 2 things in this tag but you have to understand the way this AU lives in my mind. Truly called motorcycle au because it’s my excuse to draw moto gear and machinery. Rare Danbert relationship that’s actually negotiated tho… Few and far between…)
Daniverse tag - it's Dani's universe and we're just living in it! all-encompassing Dan trans content tag, which includes a couple different islands in it (It’s fair to assume Dani uses they/them unless otherwise stated)
Westosterone tag - everything (specifically) trans Herbert, which I say because my Herberts are almost always trans men (we don’t need to talk about Saturday Night okay)
Danbert AU Variety Show - this is where AUs live, but specifically anything that isn’t plain old Danbert but doesn’t have it’s own island (yet) will be. There’s all kinds of stuff in there. Lesbians, comically large hammers, etc...
Thank you for visiting the islands! Hope to see you again soon!
horror bros im gonna hold ur hand when i say this... re-animator is not a slasher at all.
cause like do u know what a slasher is??? do u see a group of people being murdered by a killer stalking them??? herbert doesnt even purposefully murder people besides hill and chapman and those were self defense, and that only happened twice. rufus is up in the air but he could count ig, but thats still only three
also the main plot of the film is to like... yknow reverse death??? to put an end to people dying and thats the main thing that gets dan interested in the first place?? yknow like the opposite of killing people???? jfc
i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive
Whenever you have time/the brainworms are squirming PLEASE any lore on the exorcist X priest AU for Dan and Herbert I am OBSESSEDDDDD
OKAY hi its been like a month since u asked me this question but ive been using it as motivation to finish a piece for that au that was killllling me so
the possession of megan halsey (lore belowww)
i say that, but i guess she would be megan cain in this au... crazy... ive talked about how the demon that possesses dan does so to meg first (she follows the boys on one of their missions to investigate and gets caught in the crossfire, is possessed and then dies of her injuries, makes dan go insane, we know the drill.)
but something that's kind of interesting here is that the demon has (some level of) access to the feelings/memories of the hosts, so it gains a ton of excellent information to torture dan with
we know so little about what meg really thinks in re-animator, but i think it would be fitting that, in a story where meg's feelings for dan could be mind-read, that information would be presented to dan by someone who hates his guts. feels right i fear....
Lore thing is that the demon can pretty easily bodyhop under normal circumstances. It's just been joyriding for a while, truly a take-what-i-want-because-i-can type.to When it's exorcised by Herbert in the church, it takes the easiest path, essentially. This wouldn't be Herb, because while he's not impossible to possess, his tattoos are intricate and permanent wards that are not easily fucked with. Dan was supposed to be the "bait" essentially, but it catches Meg while she's watching instead.
Interesting is that when it possesses Dan, it can't kill him and it can't leave. There's something different about Dan (I have a variety of ideas for what it is but I haven't decided yet) that keeps the demon from hopping again, which is what gives Dan and Herbert time to learn how to actually kill it... yeah..
lore!!! and ill be posting more on it soon, thanks for sending an ask (:
herbert west is not one for desperation. he is above that, and begging is unprofessional. but the closest he gets to it is handing dan meg's heart and telling him they will create something with it. later on, he will describe each part of the bride with uncharacteristic detail, talking about desires dan could have had and ones herbert does not. he pulls and plays with the bride's hands, moving a desirable body with intention.
herbert west does not fall to his knees or grab at dan, begging for him to stay until his voice gives out, but that is his closest equivalent.
reallllly sloppy comic abt a scene from the most recent chapter of sick freak. herbert is insanely jealous (ofc) which only gets worse when hes feeling sniffly i fear
