Hey, I love your writing and I was just wondering when we were going to see Andomal? I can't wait

*stares into the sea* oh god. oh dear lord. oh no.

...okay so LISTEN. I swear I still have the WIP but I haven’t actually touched it in like, months. I have two longfics going already I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT start another one.

A moodboard for ANDOMAL, the BB modern/college au that @smug-albatross and @brotherbandchronicles created

(Aka why not bc I’m bored and really love this au idea, please forgive how thrown-together it is)

Hey! This is probably my favourite Brotherband blog out of all the ones I’ve seen. I was wondering about a couple of things— first, how’s Andomal going? Also, I’m currently attempting to write some Stig/Hal fics (there’s not nearly enough of them), and I was wondering if you have any ideas/hcs about what a romantic relationship would be like for them. Sorry to bother you!

*screams*

HI ANON BLESS UR SOUL UR A DELIGHT UPON THE WORLD MAY U BE BLESSED WITH A $20 BILL ON THE SIDEWALK

ANDOMAL is going.......slowly. I have like six projects going all at once and the only one making regular progress is Ouroboros because it’s the only one I have a captive audience for. Currently ANDOMAL is 6 pages long (8 if you count the notes) and actual writing is on hold because I have to rewrite my outline so the plot actually makes a minuscule amount of sense?? writing from a moodboard is fun but also im boo boo the fool who didn’t make a plot outline before they started writing so I’m going backwards a bit lol.

As for Stig/Hal, you’re absolutely right there is NOT enough of them and I’m so glad you’re doing your best to rectify the sad deficit. So! Headcanons:

Hal is shy. Extremely shy. Stig 100% has to make the first move because Hal is too busy panicking over what to do if he’s turned down or (gods forbid) not turned down. Please save him.

Stig is not shy. At all. He is however hesitant to make his feelings known without some indication that Hal likes him back, unfortunately Hal is THE MOST OBLIVIOUS and couldn’t pick up a romantic hint if his life depended on it

I have a secondary headcanon that Stig is the one who paints the brotherband’s shields, so bonding over Stig painting one of Hal’s inventions?? y/y?

Stig is a Little Bit possessive. not a lot, but if someone is Blatantly Flirting with Hal he’ll sidle up and pointedly wrap an arm about Hal’s shoulders

they’re both huge dorks. they possess one (1) smoothness braincell between them and sometimes they lose it

(Thorn does not know who to give the shovel talk to. In the end, he gives no shovel talk)

Between the two of them, Stig is more inclined to romantic gestures, mostly because Hal is Constantly Stressed from brotherband antics (not that he’d ever want them to change) but occasionally Hal will pull something that leaves him absolutely floored and Hal will be insufferably smug about it because Stig never sees it coming

ANDOMAL Update

the brotherband modern AU that was only vaguely mentioned by @brotherbandchronicles​ but im doing it anyway because nobody can stop me

mostly just worldbuilding and backstory notes rn

Lydia is a bitter english major

the brotherband instructors from book 1 are overworked gen ed professors

Zavac is a drug lord and also the new chemistry professor

Jesper lived with Zavac for like a year when he was in high school and honestly it was a real bad time for everyone

Thorn and Karina got married when Hal was about twelve, he and Lydia are step-siblings (Thorn adopted Lydia when she broke into his house at the age of eight to steal food)

Stig’s dad is in jail where he belongs

Karina is a restaurant owner and head chef, she will fight you with a frying pan

(Edvin was her protege but then he went to medical school so he doesn’t have Time)

Jesper has five siblings, he’s the oldest, and he has made a Lot of questionable decisions in his life to protect and provide for them, since his mom died and they didn’t have a father

Hal is constantly sleep deprived

Small snippet!

Jesper looked up when Stig entered the kitchen. “Is Hal awake?” he asked, trying for nonchalance and achieving only desperation.

Stig glanced at the textbook in front of him – intro to chemistry. “You have a quiz today, don’t you?”

“Is that a yes?” Jesper asked hopefully, taking a long sip of the energy drink that was siting precariously close to the edge of the table.

Stig shook his head, pulling down a box of cereal. “I think he just got in. He fell asleep when I left.”

Jesper frowned. “I’ve been up for an hour, I didn’t see him come in.”

Stig shrugged, pouring himself a bowl and accidentally splashing milk on the counter. “You’re running on what, four hours of sleep? Probably missed him.”

“Two and a half,” Jesper corrected. He blinked. “You’re probably right.”

Stig snickered into his cereal. “You have the same chemistry professor as he does, right? Professor –” he wracked his brain for a moment to come up with the name, “Anders?”

“Andrak,” Jesper corrected. “Why?”

“Rest in peace,” Stig said solemnly, taking a bite. He grimaced – the milk was on the edge of going sour. “Apparently he’s been replaced.”

The look of dismay on Jesper’s face was almost comical. “What?” he wailed. “In the middle of the semester?”

“Apparently.”

Jesper promptly faceplanted into the middle of his textbook. “Who’s the replacement?” he asked – or so Stig assumed. It was a little hard to tell.

Stig shrugged again. “No idea. Hal didn’t say.”

Jesper’s response was muffled. He’d slammed his face back into his textbook with enough force to send his energy drink crashing to the floor.

Stig finished his cereal in a few quick bites. “You’re cleaning that up.”
