A little more from Plastic Bag Time tm - it should be uploaded in the next couple of days, all willing!

"Yes, live wire?" Their hand moves again, pulling his free hand close, their finger tracing letters out against the back. "'Talk?'" A double tapped index finger against his hand. "What about, live wire?" They shrug the arm not pinned between them, rolling their wrist and pinching their hand closed in a motion they hoped stood for 'everything'. An acknowledging hum from their taller partner, his hand held loosely in theirs as their fingertips traced over the soft skin.

Finally getting more enthusiasm and inspiration back for these three, finals really took it out of me but I'm back now, baby~!

(Also, 'cause I need to share this with y'all, I've been plagued by thoughts of lyric pranking Volt with Bed Chem by Sabrina Carpenter and it won't leave my head so I might (might) be tempted to try to write a text-type installment at some point for it. I firmly believe he'd catch on quick but let it go on just to see how far it'll go, personally)

WIP Wednesday

I miss my blorbos, y'all. I miss them so much

Another snippet from Plastic Bag Time tm, and more pictures of the house now that I'm happier with the ground floor for y'all this WIP Wednesday!

Their eyes slip shut as they tune out the din of the bar patrons, listening to the low buzz that always seemed to come from Volt, akin the buzz of a neon. Nib tended to tune the noise out, but now it was just comforting. Eddie also emanated a constant low hum, the sound of current running through his wires, but they couldn't hear it at this distance. Volt's buzz was right in their ear, however, and they nuzzled a little closer, letting out a sigh of contentment.

Plus an appearance from Nib and Vesper!

Seven Sentence Sunday

Tagged by @blackbirdofasgard <3 Thank you!!! <3

Okay I haven't written a word at all in the last few days (been playing Palia a lot the past few days) and booted up Sims 4 so I could try to visualize the post-game house for Nibbox for all of y'all!

So here's the passage from right before this WIP Wednesday with nonverbal Nib

"Do you want to go sit upstairs, darling?" They hunch themself closer to his back, arms squeezing a little tighter around his waist as they tapped once instead, and he lets out another soft hum. Their hand uncurls, splaying flat over his abdomen, angling so it rests more over where his diaphragm would be. Fingertips brush over the back of their hand, testing the waters of how much would be too much for them, and they tap twice again, his hand enveloping theirs on his torso. The sound of a coaster and glass being placed down shakes them a little bit, and they lift their head, peeking around Volt's broad shoulders at their other partner as he places their glass on the bar top. He's got a bar towel tossed over his shoulder in a vision that makes him look more like a stereotypical bartender than he probably intended, and it almost draws a laugh, but they settle for a small smile towards Eddie instead. He offers them one of his own, and they close their eyes as they rest their cheek more against Volt's shoulder, still wrapped around his waist.

If it were WIP Wednesday I would have just posted the screenshot but here's the baseline of the ground floor of the Nibbox house that they own after the game! (This is the one that everything after Spliced Wires in Solder and Flux canon takes place in!) ((Well, not Spliced Wires itself since that's their wedding installment but they've moved into the house before then - probably about like. A year and a half to two years before Spliced Wires is when they move in, I figure - Spliced Wires takes place three-ish years or so post-game, so about a year or so post-game is moving out of the game house))

I need to do some altering and finishing (I don't like the mudroom specifically and need to change it) but this is where I left off last night before I went to bed!

WIP Wednesday

A little snippet from the middle of Names, between both my last WIP Wednesday and the Last Lines Written

(not all of it, gotta leave some stuff for y'all to read when I get around to posting it ;3)

Standing up, they could get a clearer look at them, no longer distorted by the smaller xenonite panels of the alcove. Their carapace was a dark gray-black, shimmering a little in the lights propped on the xenonite wall. Lighter gray bands ran around their thorax, similar to the banding in agate. They looked a little rougher around the edges compared to Volt's smoother facets, like a rock that hadn't been tumbled smooth yet. "Nib! You're awake! And I see you've met ♪♫♪♪!" Volt comes barreling out of the doorway to Blip-A, and the human smiles in greeting, adding a little wave.

(I know I keep bouncing between he and they for Eddie - that is habit from my other aus and my favourite headcanon that Eridians use a single pronoun for everyone - mostly bc then all three of them are they/them)

((I have been entertaining the idea of Nib like. explaining human genders to them later on AKA during the trip to Erid and it gives Eddie a vague gender crisis but I also love the gender neutrality))

Now that Nib's met Eddie, they gotta name him 💙

"Okay, it's not creative in the slightest, but somehow I feel like you won't mind the simplicity of it over all the mental gymnastics I did trying to come up with Volt's name. But how about Eddie for you?" Volt started chirping and making jazz hands in approval, but Nib watched the other for confirmation. It would be their name, anyway.

"It's good enough. For human language." They figured that was the closest they'd get to a yes, and typed it into the spreadsheet.

I'm almost done with this one, then it's onto other Project Hail Mary scenes that I wanna write. I've got a couple planned that I've been ironing out with my friends (namely "Time Go Fishing" (but more book-accurate) and Nib waking up from the coma bc I can't stop thinking about it)

WIP Wednesday

As always, tagged by the lovely @blackbirdofasgard!

Just finished finals, I am FREE for the next few months (with the exception of work, of course), but here's a snippet I just worked out for finding Eddie's name in the Project Hail Mary AU!

They stared at up the new figure, caught unaware by their appearance. Volt had mentioned their mate, that there was another Eridian aboard their ship, but had said he was less social, more likely to not appear to Nib. That had proven true, with Nib waking up in the corner of the tunnel they'd mentally designated as the "sleeping fort", due to its shape and how ridiculously comfy the little alcove was, despite it's construction being all angular planes and hard material. But anything can be comfortable with enough blankets (and the mattress off their bed in the dormitory, of course). Stationed above them was an Eridian, but not Volt. The carapace of this one was darker, and where Volt's central body was arranged vertically, this one was flatter, the length of their body longer. Their claws were thicker, sturdier than Volt's, with white cracks running between the faces of their carapace, much alike the black cracks that ran through Volt's. "Loud." They furrow their brows, tilting their head a little to catch a better glimpse at the Eridian. Their voice was deeper than Volt's, and had a rough edge to it, much alike a human that's been smoking for years. "Hello to you, too," they grumble, rubbing their eyes and fumbling for their glasses. "You must be Volt's mate, hm?"

Okay, but tell me this doesn't look comfy as fuck, I would LOVE that lil alcove to sleep in actually :3
