they/he idk I'll probably post writing stuff on occasion. Never mind, I lied and it’s all actually just fandom. I double lied but also told the truth, it's both actually

[justapileofrats]

I feel like it's been too long without a post saying what fandoms I'm in and willing to write for (mostly whump, no smut), so here that list is:

Star Wars - Mostly clones, my favourites are the Bad Batch (mostly Crosshair), Wolffe, and Jesse, though I do write others, I may not love them all equally, but I do love them all

Marvel - Not strictly MCU, in fact, quite removed from recent stuff, big fan of Bucky and Hawkeye, Gambit for the X-Men. Oh, and Spider-Man, of course

Ninjago - Show and movie, I love them both. In case you couldn't tell from my profile picture, Cole is my favourite, but I do like some Kai whump too, and maybe a little Lloyd, though he gets the spotlight a lot because he's special boy so I tend to not lean too hard into him (Pixal is my other favourite, but I very much lean towards whumping guys, the girlies are the ones holding it together lol)

The Magnus Archives - Tim is my guy, I love him, but I'm willing to hurt Jon too (it's the law to hurt Jon in this fandom). I am only partway through season 4 BUT I don't give a fuck about spoilers, I know how it ends, that goes for most fandoms I'm in

The Batfam - LOVE some Jason or Dick whump (call me basic), don't mind some Tim or Bruce either. And we can get other supers involved too, let's test Wally's speed healing or get some Kryptonite involved

Critical Role - Love some Percy, Vax, or Ashton whump (can you tell who tends to play my favourites lol). I know I'd love some Caleb or Molly too, but I've only seen a tiny bit of Campaign 2, and I haven't seen the show yet so I'm operating on vague spoilers there lol so I'm not too sure I'd nail the characterisation

Any others I've missed will be added as I remember them/fixate on them again lol

I haven't forgotten my bingo, don't even worry. I'm barely human anymore after this semester, but I'm getting back to it by drowning Crosshair (naturally)

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

on this picture i drew Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov - cavalry officer of the russian imperial army that participated in napoleonic wars. people persistently keep on misgendering mispronounsing deadnaming and calling him a crossdresser although alexandrov clearly stated that he didn't want to be called by his deadname and being treated like anything but a man. that's an interesting historical figure and i wanted to draw attention to his person. i can't tell everything about him in only one post so i recomend you to read about alexandrov by yourself

also be proud of yourself and remember that you're valid! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Got a collab up with @brine-cell, very nice, very fun. We put the Batch through the ringer (because what else do you honestly expect at this point)

I return to this with two more bingos. Bet you forgot we're still doing this, because I certainly did for a minute there. This fic working for this prompt just kind of happened

Also, I brought fear toxin to Star Wars because I'm a sucker for it

I was just thinking about the projects the Empire is working on in the Bad Batch, and clearly Project Stardust is the Death Star, but that got me thinking to what Project Necromancer was meant to be. Am I a big dumb idiot who’s behind, or am I onto something saying Project Necromancer is how Palpatine somehow returned? Like, it’s Disney trying to go back and try to give some explanation to the laziest moment in their run of Star Wars.

I thought at first the it was just a cool way they were trying to get more powerful clones and they were hiding it all because of how unethical it is, especially with kids involved. Then I realised that absolutely wouldn’t matter to the higher ups of the Empire, like, Tarkin is all about blowing up some planets, he doesn’t give a fuck about a few magic kids. Literally only Palpatine is allowed inside to see what they’re doing.

Also, he doesn’t give a fuck about clones and wants them gone. We see in season 2 that he will find a way to just get rid of them so they’re not his problem anymore. He wants natborn soldiers so he can control the masses easier by having them rely on the Empire for work, the clones are counterintuitive to that. And making clones more powerful by giving them the Force? Absolutely not, that would just be a threat to him. He already has/will have the Inquisitor program, he doesn’t need to make more Force wielders, his whole thing is getting rid of competition, not creating more.

The only reason I can think of that he’d be so interested in the possibility of cloning midichlorians is so he can be cloned in the event of his death. That’s why it’s called Project Necromancer, it’s what brings him back from the dead. I know we see Tarkin shut the project down at the end of the show, but why the fuck would that stop the literal Emperor? He’ll just start it up again extra secret. It all being destroyed could also be why it’s so half baked when we see him return

Idk, I could be onto something, or this could already be something the community talked about and I’m late to the party. I literally thought of this at 630 in the morning shower lol

And we're done! No thanks to me, but we did it! The final day of Whumpril!

Did I literally just write this and that's why it's a little late? Why yes, yes I did. Did I leave it a little too long and had to reread the rest of the fic to remind myself what exactly happened? Also yes. Will it go through some edits after being posted because I haven't read through it yet since writing it? You better believe it, but I didn't want it to be late after doing so well all month with getting them out on time

Khorm fic! Khorm fic! I've been meaning to do one for the longest time, but I could never figure out how I wanted to do it, so I just said fuck it and committed to this, and I like it

Now to write for the last day because I haven't started that yet and I meant to so long ago

Oof, ouch, this hurt but it had to be done. Writing emotional conversations is definitely a little out of my comfort zone (physical whump, my one true love), but I had an idea and I was going to deliver dammit!

Also, I didn't forget about Omega near the end, I would never, shut up

Some short and simple Wolffe whump, because sometimes you need to not realise you’re hurt, only to collapse into someone’s arms as soon as it’s pointed out

50th work on ao3! Fucking hell, that's a lot of fics

This may spiral into a longer fic, because I started it and had ~ideas~ but idk, we'll see

I truly shoved so many prompts in this one because I am nothing if not indecisive and cannot be trusted with decisions like this (I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often with these challenges)

I had a few directions I was thinking for this one to go, but unlike most of the time, I like how it turned out better than what I was originally thinking for it

Ironically, its freezing and wet today when I'm posting this
