multiples of 8 for that ask meme :)

8: do you have a bedtime routine and what is it?

i DO!!! so, my wife & I tend to go to bed at the same time - as does the dog. so, we close up downstairs, go upstairs, and the dog gets into his bed (sometimes i have to nudge him bc he's too worried that my wife won't come and brush his teeth bc she's turning on her bedside lamp). we brush his teeth (my wife does the actual brushing & I get to give him his toothpaste the "nice" way afterwards, letting him lick it from the tube. idk what they put in that toothpaste, but he's fucking obsessed with it.) then my wife gives him a neck rub. then we each get smooches from him. then we each kiss the little white spot on the top of his head. then we tuck him in (he sleeps under a blanket. i know.). THEN, we brush our OWN teeth, floss, moisturize, and go to bed. I take my nighttime med, then read until I am nearly passing out, turn off the light, put in my mouthguard (sexxxyyyyy), and fall asleep. this happens basically every night. VOILA.

I'll make sure you get asks, bestie, just in case <3. For the SP asks, 1, 7, 13, and 18!!

Hiiiii bestie! Oh, you're so sweet fr!

1) Favorite Ship?

I already answered this one, [Here]! But that doesn't mean I can't talk about another one, right? 👉👈

You all can pry Kenny and Henrietta from my cold, dead hands. Are you kidding me?! It's literally golden retriever x black cat coded. Sun x moon. Extrovert x introvert. It's got it all, baby!

By my headcanons, I see Kenny as a gender fluid punk. You gonna look me in my whole eyes and tell me you don't vibe with the goth and punk dynamic? C'mon.

In TFBW, Henrietta was so sweet to Karen, too! We don't talk about that enough! We don't talk about Mysterion and Henrietta's banter enough either!

7) Favorite adult?

Oh that's a hard one for me. I've found that I don't like most of the adults, which is a shame.

Really, I like Sharon. She's so fucking tired. And what she's willing to put up for her kids. I don't know if it's fully for the kids or the love she has for Randy deep down, but God, she tries. I like her design. I love that she makes Stan's costumes and their outfits are similar. I wish from the bottom of my heart we saw more of her and Shelly! I loved the episode where they were making dirty jokes and just bonding!

Give me more of mama time, cowards!

13) Favorite Post-Covid adaptation of the kids as adults (bg characters such as Karen, goths, etc included)?

Hrng...rnnnng...this one is hard too! You keep making me use my braaaaain.

So in terms of design? Kenny. What a fucking icon. He's just so happy and free. I love his beard, I love that no matter what he still loved his shit head friends!

But I also really, really love Jimmy's design. That no matter the timeline, he succeeds in what he wants to do. He makes it! He's always been successful and charming, and it stays that way as an adult! And the fact that he walked out of his show for Kenny after hearing about his death.

What a guy! What a terrific fella!

18) Your favorite character and largest headcanon for them?

To no one's surprise, it's Kyle! I love that stupid ginger fuck with all my heart! Stan is such a close second, and I can't tell you why I like Kyle just a smidge more.

My headcanon for him is a bit self-indulgent and comes from my own experience with my religion!

Durning, Rosh Hashanah, he will get together with his mother and help her pick the seeds out of the pomegranates! They'll sit what's leftover to the side, and they'll work together to make pomegranate honey jelly! They'll jar it up, and it's supposed to last for a while, but it never does in the house. He always makes sure to send Kenny home with a jar. Honorary Jew Scout and all that.

You know what, let me in on the yuri, too 🎲

🎲 20 - a rough kiss

Normally, a kiss is something shared between two people, and for each kiss, there exists a purpose behind it.

A kiss shared among friends? Maybe one quick peck on the cheeks in greeting, or on the lips to express some amount of care for the other. A kiss shared between lovers? It is drawn out, passion, care, embrace altogether in one, fluid melody, a symbol of your love for the other. Even a kiss between enemies could mean something. Conflict, uncertainty, a longing for some common ground between people with opposing intent.

A kiss between Yelan and Kafka held a purpose, but that purpose could not fit into any of those boxes.

Two clashing personalities, two women who would sooner perish before either would give up control in a situation like this one. Their kiss was rough. There was no love for the other, yet each time their eyes locked with the other's, it was as if their gazes alone screamed 'you're mine' to the mountaintops. There was no hatred between the two, yet within that gaze of dominion, there reside a glare normally shared between nemeses.

Their kiss was liken to a battle. A competition. A fight for control over the other that neither was willing to back down from, no matter how breathless it left them both.

This kiss was a fight where there were no winners, yet no one had lost either.

A stalemate where neither could find it in themselves to call checkmate over the other, because there were no openings to call for it.

🎦

Send 🎦 for the sender to see a recording of something in the receiver’s past. (Assuming Amy)

A sudden, panicked gasp of air. He bolted upright in the hospital bed. He took a few deep gasps for air, placing his hand on his chest. It feels wrong. He looks at his arm, and gently opens and closes his hand. He’s changed color. And… grown a large patch of white fur over his chest. He rolls out of the bed, stumbling as he tries to get his body to listen to him. To get his limbs to move the way he wanted. He looked to the floor, steadying on his hands and knees. In the reflection on the floor, he could see his face. No. Not his face. Not his body. This was all wrong. Why was nobody around?

He quickly glanced around, finding his way to his feet. As alien as the new body felt, it was at least under his control.

“What the hell… Anyone there? Hello!” Someone else’s voice calls from his mouth.

What did this hospital do to him?

He made his way to a full-body mirror. Well… he certainly didn’t have the same face anymore… just barely recognizable as the man he was before. He almost punches the mirror in anger. But he pauses. He pushes his new white fur aside, checking his chest. Sure enough, the telltale scars he’d had before were still present. So he hadn’t been put into a new body.

After a little more searching, he found his jacket, some socks, and his boots. His grapple was still in the inside pocket, thankfully. At least putting on his old clothes was a small comfort. But still… there seemed to be nobody around. Hospitals had staff 24/7, didn’t they?

He affixed his grapple to his wrist, and searched around the building. Finally, he began to hear sounds. Like someone moving around. But it was wrong… metallic. Only one person he knew who walked around with metal shoes.

“Hey, uh… Shadow? It’s Gadget… I, uh… woke up and—“

The source of the noise rounded the corner. It looked just like a normal person… but silvery… robotic. They groaned, and shambled towards him. He stumbled backwards, falling over as he was still unaccustomed to his new body,

“What the fuck?” He asked, trying to scramble back, as the zombot drew close. He held his hand out, “No, wait, stop!”

As the mechanized victim leapt upon him, suddenly, a surge of electricity was ripped from within the assailant, pulled into his hand. It clanged on the ground, stiff and motionless.

“What… the hell happened to me…?” He asked, looking at his own hand.

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I was gonna say Drifter/Eris and that they both smell really weird in very different ways...

But let's be honest I gotta go Megarox. Megamind is a flower eater, he enjoys nectar, and Roxanne can and will encourage this, usually by bringing him flowers or when they go on walks in parks together (night walks, naturally. Those are the best kind), she plucks flowers and feeds them to him, usually by shoving them in his face because she is a terrible gremlin and it's why we love her.

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

My wife came out to a bunch of our friends and they are all so loving and supportive! She smiles so much now!

We are getting a patio installed out the back! It only took 7 years but finally we can eat out there without having to balance on gravel

There is a very cute cat loafing beside me

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

This is not me trying to yuck anyone's yum but I really, really cannot stand casting Megamind and Roxanne in parental roles for Keiko or her calling them her parents. It squicks me out to the point of repulsion. I am all for feral aunt and uncle to a wild niece, but fun characters who are NOT reduced to parenting (reluctant or otherwise) in sequels are so few and far between that I just don't want to see it. They can be supportive and caring without having to force everyone into Nuclear Family Unit.

And sure, a lot of this stems from growing up with the expectation in both media and irl that of COURSE becoming a parent is the only outcome for you. But that doesn't make it any less of an ick! We SHOULD be getting more non nuclear family options, we SHOULD be getting more it takes a village. But if your only approach to setting characters up as a family is to make them "Here is the mummy and here is the daddy and here is the baby" just no. Please. There are a thousand more possibilities there, open your mind.

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity

Go for a walk, take some music with you, or do dishes or sweep (also with music).

Additionally, if you're wanting to write something but are holding off to find out if future canon will change things, stop waiting. Just go. Do you think we'd have anywhere near the creativity and wildness of fanfic if we had to stop and wait for canon's blessing every time. it's FANFIC! Who fucking cares if canon contradicts you down the track, it's not gonna be any less fanfic for waiting!

(I do think we actually saw a drop in the level of creativity and engagement with fandom ideas when the show was announced, which is a bummer. Kill the cop in your brain. Write shit that will be immediately contradicted, have someone come to your completely disproven fic years down the line and go "I thought this was going to not work because we know X but holy shit this is a whole new way of looking at things!")

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately

I uh....no thoughts, head empty. How do I stop my cat attacking me for wearing jeans in the house? I got my other rants out up above so... *le shrug*

Oh you sneaky little shit, you got me writing!

(context: Look we aint supposed to let the prisoners get gifts. There's a whole chapter in the handbook about what happened last time we let the kid get so much as a bobby pin.

But you tell me how I'm meant to turn down such a sweet little old lady when she comes in with two pristine old shoe boxes, all carefully packed with tissue and hands one to the kid and the other to the repoter and with a quavery little voice about how she and her husband, god rest his soul, used to go dancing every saturday night for almost forty years and how they entered the ameature ballroom competitions together. Told us they were the last pairs they brought together, before the cancer took him and oh she'd never get these on over her bunions now but it would do her old heart good to see some use coming to these shoes which hadn't seen the light of day in nigh on twenty years.)

There's only so much a man can take right before retirement.

I might have been able to hold her off if she hadn't handed one of the boxes to Miss Primetime, who looked really touched and immediately buckled herself into a pair of sparkly red shoes to the encouragement of all the old biddies.

So now the kid's the proud owner of a pair of actual ballroom dance shoes, all polished black to go with the bright orange jumpsuit.

Oooh, I just love these ask games! Hope you‘re continuing to feel better!!

🎶 What music do you listen to when you write?

⏰ What time of day do you prefer to write?

thanks, friend!

Oooo thank you my pal!! xox

🎶 What music do you listen to when you write?

Sadly I have the kind of ADHD where I really cannot listen to music while I write, it's just too distracting for my brain. I have been thinking about experimenting with some of those low hertz healing sound playlists though, maybe that would work? I dunno!

⏰ What time of day do you prefer to write?

Any time I can find really, but it definitely works MUCH better for me to write in the first part of the day vs later afternoon/evening. I'm pretty fried by the time I hit about 8:30 so as much as I'd love to be someone who could spend an hour writing at night... I just am not. Sometimes you just have to accept who you are as a person and move on to craft a life for your actual self as opposed to your hypothetical ideal self :-D
