These guys have been haunting me for like 7 years so I’m making a side blog for them you don’t understand every day I look at the poster in my room and I fear my brain chemistry has officially been altered
Guys I swear I’m working on that fuckass Logan comic please don’t kill me a lot has happened in the last two weeks…. Like a LOT (ao3 author curse but tumblr like genuinely)
In the meantime have a Janus and Remus doodle I did instead of studying
I have no idea howthis app works but take this Prinxiety doodle from earlier that I did while trying to defrost my traditional art skills!!!!!! Featuring mini me in the corner
Meant to do a post like this in January, but January is such a Month, and I wound up putting it off. Anyway, time isn't real and the calendar is arbitrary, so here's kind of an update on what I have going on...
(Vague ramblings and loose updates about writing plans and progress under the cut...)
I did not get as much work done on Bleeding Hearts (the Among Us AU) during November as I hoped I would. I mean, I got from ~50k to ~75k on the draft, which isn't nothing, but I also I ran into a minor speedbump in the plot that hasn't been easy to recover momentum on. So that's stalled just a bit. Hope I can get back into it soon.
I have, however, wound up making progress on other stories instead. I got a very decent amount of progress on the third fic in the Party Games werewolf AU. I've made some progress in the Logan-centric soft gothic/dark fluff fic that I've had sitting collecting dust for a bit. I have a couple of loose one-shots that I don't want to spoil that might be showing up some time.
I'm very close to finishing the full version of the Space Orcs fic What They Say About Humans.
I'm of two minds how to do that one, because on the one hand, a lot of people read and enjoyed (and probably subscribed to) the original one-shot, and would probably love to see that continued directly. However, I also came up with a lot of interesting ideas that would probably require a rewrite of that first chapter in order to really work in properly. So I might leave the one-shot as-is and post the whole thing as a separate fic, or I might post the version I have as new chapters and then rewrite it later (though knowing me, if I leave it for later I probably...won't).
For the Fallout AU I've made a lot of headway with both follow-ups to But Someday the Sun Will Shine (the Black Lake/kid!Janus fic and the fic about Patton and Logan in Darkside). I have a few more characters to introduce to the AU and then I might actually be able to lead into the longer fic I originally had in mind when I started writing the unconnected ficlets. Which is wild to think about.
I've also suddenly picked up the first fic I ever started writing for this fandom (about five years ago), which would be a (big surprise) Janus-centric Weird West AU. So that might be a thing that shows up sooner or later.
Still Working On...
Part three of the Sea's Kiss trilogy. Lost momentum, but I still have plans to carry it to the end of the story I originally wanted to write...
I haven't abandoned Wire Fathers, but I haven't felt pulled to work on it actively. Maybe if I get a few more things tied up properly I'll be able to put some of my focus on it.
The Tea and Dragons sequel is going to exist...someday.
Things I'm Still Planning...
The Salt for Salt sequel. Needs planning and ironing out. I have a lot of scene ideas, and a lot of beats I want to hit, but not really enough to hang a full story on, I don't think.
I've got a decent shape for the third (and possibly final) Coffin Nails story. There were a few things that I wasn't sure I could be comfortable writing, but I found a work-around that should work. I still need to figure out what I want for an ending though.
Things I Might Work On...
Last year had a lot of personal stuff going on, which forced me to drop out of TSS Storytime as a writer. I've signed on as an artist again because I have no regrets there. I'm on the fence whether to give writing for the event a second chance, because I'd hate to have to default again. If I did, I think I know what story I would want to do, because there's a fic I outlined years back for another fandom that I've thought about adapting as a Sanders Sides AU. There are still a few details I'd need to figure out, but it's a. already outlined and b. would make for a compelling story. So... I'm weighing that, at present. We'll see how I feel when the deadline for sign-ups comes around.
This thing is packed full of details actually lmao.
Some not mentioned in your tags: Patton and Virgil look identical to Thomas in the first image as the early 20s versions, but small differences. Patton has his glasses and Virgil’s just a bit paler. They start getting a LITTLE different in the second image Patton’s now tanner with more freckles and blue eyes. Virgil’s taken on the barest amount of identity with the plaid. And he’s got BARELY THERE purple in his eyes. Their designs change a ton (obviously) when they get their new outfits and Virgil has the fully purple eyes there. The next changes are Patton becoming a lot more grey and desaturated (the fifth image is right after Patton’s room video, where he stops hiding his ickier feelings).
Also a lot to say about the body language cause I put a lot of thought into that as well. Patton very open and reaching towards Virgil in the first two, very inviting. But I’m the third he’s still leaning in, but keeping himself pulled back a little to make him more comfortable. Virgil having his hands in his pockets for most of it, still pretty closed off, but starting to open up. Then in the fifth and sixth, they swap up a little. Patton starts to close up and Virgil is thinking of reaching out.
Idk. Teeny little things. I like thoughtful observations.
Favoritism by keepquietplease
Human AU (Anxceitmus)
Rating: T
Remus has spent his entire life watching his parents favor Roman. When he and Janus start dating in college, Janus asks to visit his family for the summer break not knowing he hasn't been back in years. Remus agrees, convinced he's going to lose the one person in his life that actually cares about him. What happens is...not quite that.
Notes: In which Roman isn't terrible, just McFucking Oblivious to how their parents treat his brother, but at least he has good taste in emos.
Gravity by patentpending
Canonverse (Anaroceit)
Rating: G
Now that he's been accepted, Janus finds himself just close enough to Virgil and Roman to watch, helplessly, as they fall in love. (Honestly, he really should have been looking closer.)
Notes: Do you want yearning? This one has yearning.
Failed Negotiations by vinthefrog
Human AU (Analoceit)
Rating: T
Having developed feelings for two close friends, Virgil brings up their interest in pursuing those feelings to their boyfriend. Their boyfriend who already knew they were polyamorous and was okay with it. It should work out, right?
Notes: I love a mature break-up story where it's not really anyone's fault, it just doesn't work out. It's such a rare flavor of hurt/comfort. But don't worry, there is comfort.
The Choosing Ball by Ended_Flames
Royal AU (Anaroceit)
Rating: G
The laws of the kingdom demand that Janus choose a partner from among the nobility, and the consequences should he fail are high. It's a problem further complicated not just by his curse, but also his existing relationship with Virgil, as finding a spouse willing to accept both of these things.
Notes: This one is a very sweet story.
The Second Best Time Is Now by sevenstevearmy
Canonverse (Anxceitmus)
Rating: E
It's missing Virgil hours in the shadowed half of the mindscape, and while the duke and the snake have each other it doesn't feel like enough. Remus has a plan to lure him back.
Notes: Ex-friends to lovers porn with feelings. Lots of deep emotion, and also extremely horny.
Judgement by TheAsexualofSpades
Human AU (DLAMP)
Rating: G
Janus likes to go people watching in the local park. When he starts to see a pattern forming around one man in particular—and the other men he keeps company with—it doesn't leave him with the most flattering impression. (Which one would think should have been enough to keep him from falling into the same trap as the rest.)
Notes: In which incomplete information leads Janus to form an understandable but mistaken impression of Roman.
Happy Hearts by Angel_made_of_stars
Canonverse (AMPD, Intrulogical)
Rating: G
Patton hadn't realized that relationships were a thing that sides could have or want until he watched the others fall in love. And he realizes that it's something he definitely wants only after he's convinced himself it's too late.
Notes: This one's really soft.
Roman's Boyfriends by TypicallyUntypical
Human AU (Anaroceit)
Rating: G
Life is difficult when the loves of your life can't even stand to look at each other, but Roman's boyfriends have a history together. It's clear to him that they both still care about each other, even if they're both also convinced that repairing the divide is hopeless. Roman is determined to at least see them try.
Notes: Gently aching and hopeful.
