[iishimmerwood-general]

This blog is literally what it says :)

…………………………………………………………………………

i'm gonna be real there are a LOT of asks in my inbox that are too detailed to post about on the other blogs, hence why i've made this one!

"But what about the other blog! We want more paintbrush!" You shout, well, i'm here to say that shhhhhhhh you wait, that blog is for fun i don't intend on posting on it every day because it'll burn me out.

SO!!! To cure my absolute inabilty to focus on one thing at a time i've made this for all the questions that i havent answered! Woohoo🥳

Um, yeah, i don't know what else to put for an intro post but this will do for now. Ask anything!

I'm serious. Biology, relationships, what their favourite snack is, who what where why when how theres no limit! Want a super specific question asked? Go ahead! You want character dialogue? Sure why not! You want info on characters that i havent made anything about? Yeah! 😗👍

Do you have anything about clover 👀👀👀 the clover fans crave any type of content

For her infected version she sleeps like a bat 😋 its super cute but yknow dont like- disturb her.

She's also one of the more recent infecteds! I'd say before lightbulb became infected :)

Hehehehe mic feels a bit better about her face scars whenever she sees trophy, which isnt often, but it feels nice since they both don't stare at them.

Im bored im telling you guys how everyone has cried themselves to sleep

Paper is very heavy crier. At least once every day after losing OJ but now it's more once every week

Paintbrush will cry themselves to sleep on even days specifically. (They dont know the exact date they just go off their most recent diary page e.g. "day 2763") why? Lightbulb.

Fan surprisingly doesn't cry himself to sleep, he prefers crying in the day so that he can fall asleep quicker in the night because he doesn't like nights. His eye is constantly watery so he just looks like hes cried anyways so..

Test Tube doesn't cry all that often, only when things are really stressful. She'd usually be with Fan or near him when she sleeps, but when she isn't i'd imagine she would try and be a quiet as possible.

Mic is normally out in the forest in the night, so crying would put her at risk of an infected finding her. She's gotten pretty good at crying and still talking normally.

Trophy would cry himself to sleep if he didn't think it was weak. He only trusts himself to cry infront of a few people anyways, crying alone would feel much more suffocating.

Marsh would only cry around once a month. Luckily she has people who can help her with heavy topics and her thoughts. She appreciates it a lot.

Tissues lets himself cry at night when he knows it's difficult at the moment. He's a lot more in tune with his emotions in this au, and i like to think he sees himself as more mature for that. (He is)

Goo doesn't feel the need to cry. He genuinely doesn't feel the need to, like he's perfectly fine.

ok so. idk if this is spoilers or not but im verrrry curious as to how painty finds out about/reacts to trophy mutating fully. bc trophy is with paper when it happens, right? (side note, bc i wasnt entirely sure about this, but does painty know that trophy and paper ‘hang out’? i may have messed up the timeline in my head, and i dont really remember all the stuff that happens in exact order, my bad—) but yeah idk. i just love the fact that paintbrush has now lost two (2) bright yellow companions to the Evil Infection. and that this time it was kind of sort of at least a little bit paper’s fault.

sorry if none of this makes sense btw it is very late! and i am a litte bit rambling! and i am going to bed now :)

oooh good question! 🤔

Painty does find out about Trophy mutating while its happening (?) Right now it's not very fleshed out but they'd be walkin around the forest and would just hear him shouting/screaming ig? Theyre like "ooh no who is that bruh😭" and find out it's Trophy mutating! And papers there too. Hes in a bit of shock during the whole thing.

Also yeah Painty does know Paper and Trophy hang out, but they can't really do much to stop them from being around eachother even if they know how bad it is for them both, yknow?

[iishimmerwood-general]

So I got a question

Did Salt die before or after OJ was fully infected?? I wonder how OJ would feel about that..🤔🤔🤔

she died pretty early on so she didn't even see OJ get infected. OJ did feel bad for her, but he couldnt really bring himself to cry

[iishimmerwood-general]

Could we get any more facts about Mic?? I'm curious about her :)

in this au she's got pretty bad eyesight! Specifically she's near-sighted. Why? I felt like itd make sense for her to have better hearing but less vision lol. (Also because i can ever so slightly relate with shit vision lmaooo)

She likes to stay around the perimiters of the original perilous forest, and has a little camp where she and Taco first met in s2. It's not got much as she's constantly moving around but it's got enough to be useful.

Whenever i see aus it's always taco being in the story but never mic and i get really peeved about it like 😭 yeah i get why but wouldnt it be cooler if the less experienced person gets thrown into a forest? Just me? Okay....

Also extra fun fact is that she thinks Trophy is "twinning" with their face scars. It makes her feel a bit better about it 🥹

[iishimmerwood-general]

Can i ask about goldpaper 🥹🥹🥹 how does their situation-relationship look like to some of the others? I'm assuming they know about them spending time with eachother 🥹

they all think its a bit gay /j

[iishimmerwood-general]

How does. Everyone grieve everyone

Horribly 😭

Paintbrush uses alcohol to forget about Lightbulb, Paper's been in denial for so long he can't and wont get out of it, Test Tube drowns herself in her work, Fan hugs himself to sleep most nights, Microphone can't bring herself to cry, Tissues blames himself, Trophy believes he deserves any pain given, Marsh feels that what happened to Apple was her fault, and goo doesn't feel anything

[iishimmerwood-general]

WOULD FAN GIVE AFFECTION TO ANY OF THE CHARACTERS PLEASEEEEEEIGOTTAKNOW

Fans a lot more worried about imposing on people's personal space but if he had a little more confidence he'd definitely give some good hugs and kisses to all of them i promise anon

hes also touch starved so he wants affection as well 😭

[iishimmerwood-general]

(Spin a wheel and) drop a random character lore dump

I am eliminating Paintbrush btw boom boom I killed them on @ii-shimmerwood-au

👀

Test tubes very interesting in this au i really like her. I wouldn't say she's a mad scientist, but it is the only label that can sorta stick. Shes the only person who is constantly trying to find a cure for the infection, so that means lots, and i mean A LOT of experiments, even for the things that dont have anything to do with making a cure. She's always had somebody to be a willing ginuea pig for her to test on, like Lightbulb, OJ, and more recently Trophy. But yknow...as those two eventually mutated, she has gotten more desperate.

She likes to make her tests go smoothly, having all the equipment laid out neatly and everything being as sterile and clean as can be! But some tests seem less planned out. More impulsive. She's made Trophy cough up a bucket full of infection just to see how quickly it builds up again, and some other slightly unethical tests. But that isnt important! She's got so much data, so much evidence. Its just about putting it in the right places and using it to find that cure she's been craving!!

[iishimmerwood-general]

nghh how is tissues doing. Is he not lonely, does anyone worry about him?

... does he talk with trophy

he aint lonely per se, but he does wish he could interact with people more. The only people who worry are Fan and Trophy (he hates him yeah, but he doesn't want Tissues to get infected.) 😋

Most conversations with Trophy end with arguments or just feeling worse. :(

[iishimmerwood-general]

How dare you make suitcase suffer....

there will be consequences...

Beware the man who speaks in hand type shit😭

[iishimmerwood-general]

inanimate insanity

battle for dream island again

[iishimmerwood-general]

As the greatest d (< auto correct made that somehow and I like it) of the au, you should totally make Paintbrush encounter Lightbulb. In a way that could be "oh shit all I have to do is be gay like Paper and I can tame an infected" even though that's mostly incorrect. Also make them obsess more and just. Not heal. Come on Lightbulb needs to be emotionally exhausted at SOME point during then

Oh also what other ships exist in the au,,, I wanna know,,,,,

🤔🤔🤔🤔 ypu make a good point HOWEVER! ☝️

As much as painty misses Lightbulb they wouldn't be able to go as low as Paper. I mean. They'd be REALLY tempted dont get me wrong but they'd definitely have a thought like "ohhhhmygod i can just pretend she's fine but i CANT because it isn't HER 😭😭" and also they saw Lightbulb mutate unlike Paper so Paintbrush wouldn't have any kind of reason not to believe theyre infected.

Also with ships i just kinda smack two characters together like dolls and if i can think of a way for it to make sense then i keep it 🥹 i dont mind if you guys want to make your own ships in this au too! Lots of potential

[iishimmerwood-general]

"They've thought Trophy was Lightbulb on numerous Occasions. They um...also got a bit freaky once with this but thats for another ask"

this is that ask im curious (unless u dont wanna answer)

they got really upset one night and just begged asked for Trophy to be lightbulb for a bit.

It made them feel better afterward but not by all that much. Maybe like uhhh 40% good 60% bad?

And Trophy felt pretty obligated to follow along since they had done a lot for him (letting him stay rent free in the cabana, helping with the infection symptoms etc.) And also it felt nice to have a hug from them for longer than a second, ha.

Freaky in the way that you've gotta pretend to be someone your not 😢

[iishimmerwood-general]

Any Test Tube fun facts? please? 🥺

She's still a bit awkward when she talks with people, very straight to the point which often leads to a LOT of awkward silence.

She also talks out loud whenever she's figuring something out and she talks really fast when this happens so nobody can fully understand her 😭 then she has to dumb it down if people ask her what she's talking about, which reeeaaallly annoys her.

Also! Test Tube has made a temporary painkiller for the infection, it can only numb the pain during flare ups, not fully block out the pain. It's not good but it's better than nothing.
