↳ I don't rlly tag consistently for anything so like, be forewarned.
↳ art I draw is tagged with #my art; writing I do is tagged #my writing; all asks are tagged #asks; and I almost never keep up with it but non-reblogs/original posts for a time were placed under #yens
↳ lore main! Assume everything I talk about is about the characters unless otherwise specified
↳ be decent. Be kind. For the love of god don't victim blame or harass people
↳ for clarity: I don't support cc!Dream or cc!Wilbur and am not comfortable engaging with blogs about either content creator, both directly and through my work. I don't go through the blogs of everyone that interacts with me bc I have a life but I will block if it comes to my attention. Don't rlly believe in the efficacy of dni statements so this is not one. But yeah jsyk

KILL YOUR PAST SELF: YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE TIME HAS COME
c!Quackity-centric infographic(?) about ego death and metaphorically killing your previous iteration because it can no longer sustain itself. Or you.
WE ALL THINK YOU'RE A GRAND GIRL: NIHACHU Well they’re gone now I guess you all saw it. Schlatt chased them out not in this great clashing of blades and war they just had to run
c!Niki-centric oneshot, about her arc during the Manberg-Pogtopia war. Based on the style and themes of Anne Carson's Antigonick.

Post-canon fic where Sapnap kills Dream and keeps on living. Written in the format of several interviews with SMP newspapers over 2-3 decades.

A poem for every canon death on the server (in some cases of group deaths they are combined, like FCR.)
Carthage may rise again someday
collection of what should be all of the dsmp poems I've written, most of which are also posted here. There's poems about everyone from Philza to Wilbur to Fundy to Wilbur again to Quackity to Wilbur again! to Sapnap to Quackity-
before we cut to Alexandria: Between you is a desk and, an hour later, a wall, and your brother- let’s call him your brother, because you do not have to like your brothers, but you have to have them. And he is here, your brother.
c!cabinetduo (Manberg era) poem that warrants its own post. Might be the longest poem I've ever written and I have no idea how that happened even. Also on ao3.
you don't have to love it: Turning heel; or, deciding not to die.
c!Quackity-centric professional wrestling au. Kind of a character study. Kind of a love letter to how compelling getting beat up and beating people up can be ^_^ and also kayfabe and heel turns and losing
12x100s: the loneliest people in the whole wide world - Fundy and Quackity; where the high wires drop (where the fat crows fly) - Sam and Ponk
12x100s are a format by Lewis Attilio. Series' of twelve 100-word snapshots. Pretty great for character studies. The fics aren't related to one another, they're just both 12x100s.
Left Pining for Transience: Quackity Snowfall is a perfect machine, capable of assisting Senator Schlatt however he needs. Theirs is a relationship of mutual benefit--he helps Schlatt stay in power and Schlatt keeps him out of the grasp of the omnipresent megacorporation REDSTONE. Quackity has nothing else to turn to, no reason to stray from his position until he meets Karl, a rogue neural net touting what appears to be sentience.
c!Karlnapity cyberpunk AU where Karl lives inside Quackity's head. Written in two months for AUFEST 2023. It is my first go at a completed longfic. I wish it could be better but that's okay. We're learning.
Various AU series: The Paltry Few-Harbinger AU (supernatural/monster hunting); no don't tell me the odds (blaseball);
I have other standalone fics that take place in alternate universes, but these are the ones that actually have multiple works in the series.

cquackity the type of guy to have a clearly fake potted plant in his office thats framed as a metaphor for how he's cold and doesn't care about anything etc only for it to be revealed late in the narrative that he genuinely thinks its real and has been watering it this whole time and someday he's proud of himself for managing to keep just one thing alive and start crying as soon as the person who rather sarcastically broke it to him that its clearly fake leaves the room
if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet "hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries" and then i'd turn my phone off
You see, when a man and woman love each other very much, and nobody has any concept of "mixed gender friendships", and it's evil to ship them because it isn't yaoi, sometimes they might do something very special called "Becoming Siblings". then they can live happily ever after and talk to each other like they're in a smart speaker commercial.
it's probably good that i can never go back but ough what if sometimes i want to go back. i feel like my relationship to online has become much more peaceful now that the primary fandoms i'm in aren't constantly live updating anymore and that's probably a good thing. and the shift coinciding very neatly with moving out for college which means my living environment is less of a high cortisol horror game all the time, which is also good. but i feel like i've just gotten so busy and caught up in other things that the time i used to have to do really crazy creative art and writing just keeps shrinking, which is sad... i miss having that creative energy i feel like i can barely remember when i have class these days
