"we need more traumatized characters/characters with ptsd and/or who are abuse victims portrayed realistically with symptoms that Arent cute and soft and pretty!" you guys couldnt even handle lapis lazuli
big fan of seeing a character and going from âoh heâs kind of a freak, interestingâ to âi need him expeditiouslyâ in the span of like five minutes
Silly fun pirate show and the peeps who were chill about it with great art and stuff and who treated people like people. Peeps who reached out to me to chat or follow about interests youâre amazing, and I hope you find something else to spark your fires in the future.
What am I not going to miss? Well. You know. Theyâre not worth the time or energy.
Hey your Steddyhands art is amazing! Do you write any fic as well or is it just the illustrations? And if you don't write any, do you have any good recommendations?
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the fandom!
*cracks knuckles* I've been waiting for an ask like this. I don't write fic bc I do not have the patience once I have 2 pieces of dialogue I'm done for the week so here are some of my fav (completed) Steddyhands fics in no particular order (fair warning my taste is uh intense read at your own risk and mind the tags):
a little backup (in case the scene gets nasty) by oopshidaisy
Love this author and they are the only fic author I follow on twit bc I crave their thoughts like an addict their voice for Ed is always so correct
couldn't good be good enough? by RarePairFairy
The first Steddyhands fic I ever loved. Classic. Delicious. Some of the wittiest writing I've ever read
and if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away by Jack_R
Love Jack_R's take on Izzy a lot of show don't tell and they really aren't afraid to lean into Izzy's anger and brutality and general fucked-up-ness
had we lived by nasri
Feel like everyone has/should have read this one by now it's the modern au Steddyhands of our dreams. Had to make my own modern au because I needed some fluff after nasri's superbly crafted emotional rollercoaster lol. Course that our stars should divide is fantastic too, but had we lived will always have a special spot in my heart it's the only ofmd fic I managed to convince my friends to read.
Luck of the Devil by ItsClydeBitches
There are a couple of drowning fics now but this one is still hands-down my fav. The use of changing pov to create an omniscient narrator/multi-character character study is brilliant. A Grain of Devotion is another one I would rec by them, but if you're only gonna read one then read Luck of the Devil.
the wounds this world left on my soul by Rocket007
Murder is Izzy's love language <3
unkindness by Ajaxthegreat
Come on guys, you know this one had to be on here. Also y'all should read man on fire too which is Ajax's newest and equally unhinged masterpiece
nothing harder than the gospel truth by GoldStarGrl
I like to only re-read chapter one of this because I'm a sick freak who hates catharsis (also most Steddyhands fics don't utilize the crew enough and GoldStarGrl milks them for all they're worth)
And the next few fics are all Hymn because I love their work so goddamn much:
never had a prayer to follow (i'll be coming home tomorrow) - Never thought I'd be into food play but here we are
the way you get when - Ok kinda biased here bc my art inspired this one lmao but also extremely hot I love omegaverse worldbuilding
i won't forget you (but i may forget your name) - Stiddies + Izzy sandwich what more could you want (also Ed's dirty talk in this is wow phew I mean wow)
Finally, this isn't AO3 but DictionaryWrites' Steddyhands tweetfic shocked me to my core the first time I read it every tweet is a gut-punch even more devastating than the last
Alright that's all I've got for now it's a small slice out of my 62 Steddyhands bookmarks lmao cheers babes
