So obviously you like poly, which is awesome. But if you had to break people up into single pairings, what would your favorites (or least favorites) be?

HMM INTERESTING. It's hard to actually rank pairings because I want different things from every ship! And talking about ships I don't like always feels negative and boring so instead I will just hand you an assortment of relationships that are fun or entertainingly dramatic to rotate in my mind.

((Dutch/Tennie gets special kudos for being a canon ship that I genuinely love, haha. In an over-the-top zoom zoom smash action show, seeing a relationship based on mutual respect and shared interests was unexpected and a very nice feeling! I love them. A+++ artistic/engineering power couple, five stars, would have soft emotions about again.))

WELL GOOD ANON I’M GLAD BECAUSE BOY HOWDY DO I ENJOY IT TOO. >8Dc  At some point I’ll have to come to terms with the fact that angsty old reunited ex-villain Muckles is just kind of 75% of the reason I came up with the Burnerswap universe in the first place, and just roll with it lmao.

Tbh probably on a fairly routine mission of some kind, and almost definitely while taking a hit for Mike.

except then immediately afterward he would’ve caught Mike in the middle of a long-coming breakdown about how he’s basically being coerced into being a thug for Ms Kane’s mob and the fact Red looks up to him for that and would lose an eye for him makes him sick 

And then presumably he told Red to defect, and Red was like “well what about you??!  and Mike just had to kind of shrug and shake his head because holy shit that’s a lot of history he wouldn’t want to get into with some kid whose whole worldview is falling apart right now.  

Red: I’m going to take all the betrayed hurt I’m feeling,,,, and bury it deep deep down to ferment into resentment at Kane generally and you specifically Mike: As long as you do that somewhere NOT here. QuQ Red, fleeing: I’M LEAVING BECAUSE I WANT TO NOT BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOOOOO >8,C

Awhile back I saw your fusion of Red and Mike. What are your thoughts about that fusion? Doesn’t seem like a fun time for anyone involved.

Oof, lemme throw my brain back to three years ago, hmm...... :D I think I covered most of the important details about the Red+Mike fusion in the post itself, but generally-speaking I’m assuming it would be like...essentially Malachite.  Red keeping Mike there because it hurts him to be part of a fusion with someone who hates him so much, and Mike staying because if they’re fused at least Red can’t hurt anybody else.  Which is why his hands are permanently cuffed and probably....fused together at the wrists?  :Ic nasty.

If I were to write the scene, probably Red and Mike were grappling and the other Burners showed up, and Mike’s reaction of No he doesn’t get to hurt my friends combined with Red’s DAMMIT they’re going to outnumber me and he’ll get away AGAIN combined into.......this unfortunate son of a bitch. @u@  

Not sure what to call him, though.  Very tempted to call him “V” (geddit, like V for Vendetta...because Red’s intro episode was called “Vendetta”.......  I’ll see myself out).  Lord knows all the one-syllable names in this show don’t combine very well lol.  Rike?  Med.  Mike-But-He-Hates-Himself.

Oh gosh. I just realized, from how I read (watched?)things, Red is supposed to be younger than Mike. Or at least I think that fits the kind of impulsive blaming the first person you see instead of thinking about who was really responsible. Which just makes me wonder if we were ever going to see red without his mask and if it would have been like a “he’s just a kid” moment

Huh!  I didn’t read it that way when I watched Vendetta, although I can definitely see it as an interpretation. :Oc  That would be super interesting!  There’s so little Red content in the show, despite him being a pretty major antagonist with a REALLY personal line straight to Mike’s betrayal-related trauma backstory--we know next to nothing about him, and his motivations don’t quite seem to make sense...  

The theories and headcanons to come out of that disconnect of importance vs available information, and from people trying to reconcile His Whole Deal witht he things he actually does....it’s all completely fascinating to me.  Red’s a really fun blank slate antagonist lol.

Every Fandom Should Have Crack Videos: Part II

I posted the last video at three AM, which seems like a much more acceptable time to post nonsense than noon on a Wednesday, but hey live fast live free, right?  Am I using that right?

worshipthesquid said to livelivefastfree: I'd love to see someone as a ghost.  rollerskatinglizard said to livelivefastfree:  Supernatural!Red menacing wer!Mike! 

C-C-C-C-COMBO REQUEST. >:Oc  I never covered Red in Werewolves of Detroit, but he’s a very powerful vengeful spirit.  It’s hard to tell what he’s specifically upset about because mostly he just throws things around, tries to kill Mike with extreme prejudice and screams DIE and REVENGE and CHILTON in everybody’s heads when they get too close, but it’s pretty clear who he’s haunting. 

[Trick or Treat?]

So what exactly is the burnerswap AU? I've been going through everything in your tag (here and splickedy) and from what I can gather it's delightfully angsty but I'm still not quite sure what's going on?

It’s basically just me going “what if the bad guys were the new Burners, and the Burners are now bad guys?” And in theory it’s about the  new baby villains being Burners and protecting the brave  new City In The Sky that is Deluxe.  They’re all assholes, it’s great.

So theoretically they’re what it’s about, but literally every time I try to write/draw content for it, I get really sidetracked by Mike and Chuck, AS USUAL.    

ANGST HUSBANDS

The only way I could figure out to make Mike a villain was to coerce him into it, so!  Kane Co. has been using a delicate system of guilt, emotional blackmail and flat-out lying to keep both of them doing the company dirty work.  And they’re never allowed to see or talk to each other and they missed each other SO MUCH

……………..and once they get reunited they’re so so touchy-feely, just, the grossest old married ex-villains, and the new Burners HATE it 

((Red used to work with/for Mike, and has a HUGE hate-crush on him.  Duke is hugely embarrassed by “cheesy, sappy bullcrap” AKA genuine emotion.  Abraham would never admit it, but he thinks of Mike as a father-figure and does not want to think about him making out with his husband.  Jacob and Kaia are the only ones who have any chill about the whole thing, because Jacob is a nice dude who’s happy for them and Kaia thinks the whole mess is hilarious.)) 

and there’s SO much emotional suffering and separation anxiety and making out, and anyway that’s the stuff I can’t stop writing/drawing 

I don't know how much that helps, but I tried haha.  The heroes–>villains and villains–>heroes thing is the main point but the muckles is what actually happened, so………so.  Yeah.  U/////////U
