sometimes you just gotta fuck up your sleep schedule by reading all 100k words of a fic you're not even enjoying, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise
“Average Minecraft SMP character has 3 partners per SMP” factoid actually just statistical error. Average Minecraft SMP character has 0 partners per SMP. Boyfriends Rae Morningstar, who lives in cave and has over 10,000 boyfriends per SMP, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
More thoughts about Tad Worm Au because I like it far to much
When infected, Tad is fed a worm so there is no injury site for worm evidence (and not so that I can call this au Food Chain no no no)
Kir’s (the worm) whole “assigned goal” by the hive mind is preservation. Tad’s infection happens because they are losing. They are losing resources, so what do you do when you’re losing resources? Attack the enemy supply chain. By infecting Tad they gain access to a place where the non-worms think it’s safe, access to the largest concentration of Harmoxicane on the planet, and a brand new engineer to replace the one they lost.
Preservation being Kir’s purpose also means they are much more subtle when it comes to influencing and interacting with Tad. Jury is still out if Wormification of Tad would be fast or slow, because on one hand, worm is trying to be subtle so taking its time is stealthy, but also Fast worm means if it could pull of a decent Tad, it could start making things.
Something something Kir makes worm-slingers instead of Cure-slingers
Also Tads mind prison thing they would have (a kin to Asri’s well) is just a labyrinth of cave systems with ever exit caved in by obsidian, it’s impossibly dark because I sure know that Frog has some cave trauma even before the crash. (I stare at you, you and your mystical reason why you steal all your stuff from others instead of mining for them)
Kir gets found out because of a mixture of lack of initiative and lack of care for others. (specifically preconceived debts Tad just can seem to shake from their mindset) Overall though I would think Kir would be a great actor and liar, I mean, Tad was pretty decent at it, somehow gaining people’s trust. They would have a great starting steps.
(Alternately Kir gets found out when Evren gets cured because he was the only one who knew what happened to Tad was real, cause he did it)
Something something Tad gets cured when cornered in a cave where Kir has been stashing the Harmoxicane by Mi-go and it just adds the the counter of being hunted by her girlfriend( and if we wanted to add Vesper there whatever they were at the time) something something
Kir acting as some sort of parallel to Go-Mi in the fact that they don’t want to die, they entire purpose was self preservation, they never hurt (lying) or killed anyone, why is their life worth less?
Tad having worse and/or lasting effects from being cured, especially if they need the vat, due to the Harmoxicane that hadn’t fully left their system from making the Harmoxitoxin. How no matter how much they promised Laika they would be careful after taking it that they inevitably would need to again.
Tadrick Hopper Worm au where she gets got building the safehouse but instead of it being real she thinks it’s a paranoia fueled nightmare, and the Worm uses Fisher’s voice the guilt trip him into doing worm things
Also it brings back the “we should all get along and stop hiding shit from each other” mentally that happened post-Mimi crash and maybe the worm also promises that no one else will die, not if Tad can just be there, if she can just help (it) herself

My personal Joe Hills Experience fresh out the oven under the cut:
I've started drawing this Joe piece (Jiece?) yesterday after work but the migrane did me in halfway so I conked out early. Woke up at 4 am, checked if anybody's streaming and lo and behold - Joe Hills just started. (Somehow I am already following him on twitch? I have no memory of ever being on his stream before) Joe's talking about a new book from my favorite at the moment author, immediate bonding moment. No webcam on the screen, wait no, there is a webcam it's a tiny 80px Joe on top of a green glass in the last hotbar slot. Someone sent a tip and Joe gets bigger, he is on greenscreen, in a green cap and green glasses, he picks up an abaccus to count the tip??
I get my first morning coffee and decide to also send some. He. He reads it aloud and then sings a happy song to me specifically!! Pure Delight! Meanwhile Joe is building a Mardi Gras float that throws dispensers at you, in front of his flint build in the shopping district that throws arrows if you remove armor, the mardi gras float involves lots of armor stands and armors, arrows keep shooting and he picks them and puts back into the dispenser, sysyphus is taking notes. Did i mention he's building a mardi gras float an hour before mardi gras starts?
Frenetic energy of homework due tomorrow fills the air, even though it's 5 am on a tuesday and I'm like, 34, I feel it too. More tips come in and Joe keeps getting bigger on screen, which is good for me specifically actually since I am actively drawing him at this very moment, the reference is spectacular. Joe goes on a lil break and plays a couple of his songs while away. Certifed bops and bangers, both of them! Someone in chat writes the funniest thing ever and I audibly yell, Joe shares a lot of wisdom which I agree with.
It's 6 am, DocM77 logs in and comes in to check out the build. I am in the same timezone as Doc, why is he on a regular tuesday online at 6am?? Doesnt matter, everyone is having a deligfhtful time. Joe makes a haiku, as he does, as he finishes the Mardi Gras float at midnight right on time for the Mardi Gras. Stream ends. It is 7 am, I have to go to work now I guess? After having a Joesperience??? Anyway, if you ever have some income you dont mind sparing - keep it hidden until you somehow end up on Joe stream and send him a tip, a Joespirience is something anyone could benefit from.
The mardigras video is up on his channel right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epoATDqjJDQ
when girls like horses we call them ‘horse girls’ and mock them for their bond with giant nightmare leg-finger creatures
but if boys like horses we call them ‘future cowboys’ and ‘rugged outdoors men’
I’m just saying, I’ve met a lot more horse girls than horse boys so when the dystopic breakdown of society hits us, it’s not going to be roving bands of young men on horseback (they don’t know how to ride, they haven’t B O N D ED)
it will be Kelly from elementary school and her band of fifty midwest girls in pink cowgirl boots who have come for your resources
When they were filming Lord of the Rings, they needed A LOT of extras to be able to ride horses into battle. They couldn’t find nearly enough men with horses/ riding skills, so they hired just like a crap ton of women who were expert riders, slapped some beards on ‘em, and called it good. The VAST majority of the riders in that film are horse girls. Horse girls win battles.
I don't care if its uncalled for, I don't care if it doesn't fit the genre, I don't care if it was necessary to the plot. I will never not love an Akira slide.
I feel the Akira slide is the opposite of the Wilhelm Scream. I hear the Wilhelm Scream and I’m immediately annoyed and taken out of the story. I see the Akira slide and I am immediately fist pumping the air with excitement!
I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"
Magical girl who had wanted to be one so badly but never had that magical mascot/mentor encounter so she summoned a demon to contract with instead.
It's not a dark story or anything, the magical girl is just as cute and cheery and friendly as factory standard and never loses that faith and optimism, she's just
Pact-bound to a frightening demon from the underworld instead of a cute teddy bear mouse.
Demon being viewed as weird for making a pact with a cute, cheery schoolgirl.
At every demon party where they show off their pacted there's evil, terrible, and frighteningly beautiful and then there's this teenager in a cute magical girl dress.
"I don't get you Goragog." "Listen, it's nice. Just nice! Can't things be nice? Is it a sin for things to be nice?" "No and that's part of the problem..." "You're just jealous Samantha created a "bffs forever" blingee with me. When was the last time one of your warlocks did something like that for you?" "*on the verge of tears* it's been DECADES!"
Er'trian, Harbinger of Eternal Night, Defender of the Shrieking Chasm, and Lord of Eight Furies stared at eir favorite rival in confusion.
"But it's a pact," ey said. "A deal. An exchange is built in! You can't just Bestow Magical Powers for nothing in return. So what are you getting out of this, Goragog???"
Goragog's dark eyes wept their endless ichor. A halo of eldritch nightmares flickered around his head. With deliberate slowness he turned to meet Er'trian's accursed gaze.
Goragog gets invited to the annual "Magical Mascot" convention and after the initial trepidation is a Big Hit.
The smaller and non flying Mascots especially love him because he is willing to carry them or sit on his shoulders so they have an unobstructed view.
The Ancient Guardians vote unanimously to make him an honorary Mascot including Membership in the Union with all privileges therin including his own personal chibi form to use when his normal visage would be problematic.
Magical Girl's rival insists the pact makes her an imposter and not a real magical girl, and of course she believes Goragog is doing some typical demon thing to further evil in the world or gain power or take Magical Girl's soul.
Of course, every time Rival goes to get evidence that Goragog is evil, she stumbles in on him doing something either inextricably cute or even outright helpful to others.
He's meeting with dark, shadowy figures on his own in a random alley? Oh, they're homeless folks that Magical Girl asked him to bring some food to.
Gathering supplies for a ritual that all of Rival's research indicates is a powerful summoning? It is a summoning, but for Goragog to invite a couple of his friends over for movie night with Magical Girl, and they go back to their realm without causing any trouble.
Stalking the local barista? He's got a crush on them. This does get him lectured by Magical Girl about stalking though, so he is eventually pressured to actually talk (quite nervously) to the barista while in his human disguise.
His hands are covered in blood? Nope, the red nail polish spilled and won't come off.
Every time Rival is blindsided by finding Goragog's seemingly suspicious behavior has a innocuous reason behind it, she becomes more and more assured that Magical Girl is actually helping cover for him.
Goragog is fully aware of Rival's paranoia and loves to mess with her. Magical Girl is just excited to have another girl like her that's always hanging around and so must want to be friends but is too socially anxious to actually approach her.
