The gala...

I've been wanting to draw something for the reprogrammed au for AGES and i finally got a bit of inspiration from the latest decoded chapter... I never draw backgrounds but I really hope I did the scene justice!

catching up on all the chapters of decoded and i'm literally tweaking out. your writing has so much imagery and you're able to capture the reoccurring themes and emotions of healing, anxiety, desperation, and disorders like PTSD even if you're not specifically saying it (like the knife imagery, and how chris feels like he's walking on egg shells around the crew whenever he feels like he's trying to earn their trust back, or trying to get that label of mentally stable back on him). it throws me for such a loop anytime i see some of the words you use. "invasive" really stuck out to me when you were describing the chip in chris' arm, and (as an older sibling) you capture the complex of an older brother perfectly. i feel like such a fangirl, but you're able to place the reader in everyone's shoes (besides diego n anyone not on the crew), from chris struggling to heal and feel trusted--and survivors guilt, to martin just wanting his brother to feel secure (and struggling to cope with the change), to aviva, koki and jimmy all caring for him. I also LOVE how you show little instances into chris'.... well.... i guess memory gaps? or i guess his time in the suit? I don't know how exactly to word it, but you ride the line between telling too much, and telling to little-- it's just enough that it's disturbing and leaves so many questions. and the pure symbolism in chris scarring martin while in the suit, the branding and ownership imagery, the loss of self-- its all so amazing, im enamored! it's honestly a work of art and honestly i'm obsessed with how the story's evolving. just AAAAAA if i could read your fic for the first time again, i would. if I had the time to write a dissertation on it, i also would. keep up the amazing work!!! im so excited to see all the things yet to come with your writing (you should totally write a book at some point!!) (and your art is amazing too!!!)

-sincerely, a college english major (who's also sick with brain fog so sorry if this isn't as clear as it should be)

This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me wtf

HEKSHSJ IM SO HAPPY YOU ENJOY IT AHHHHH im so insane for them and everytime someone matches my insanity i jump around in my enclosure

This is honestly the first thing I’ve written thats over 20k!! I have never been super confident in my writing capabilities, sticking more to art and comics. But I really wanted to give it a try, and I’ve been learning so much and having so much fun with it!

I will definitely be writing more stories in the future, but Reprogrammed is really special to me in a lot of ways. There’s a lot of symbolism and deeper interactions that I don’t usually explore. It’s honestly been really refreshing and healing to me in a way :]

New Programming.

Hi there, it's Derek.

You may or may not have noticed that I haven't been posting here for a while. This is because this Tumblr is somewhat obsolete. I am currently working on another project, based heavily on what was originally set to be Wild Boys, called Wild Kratts: Reprogrammed. Season One is actually already on AO3 and complete.

If you want to see what became of Wild Boys, go check out THIS TUMBLR HERE.

Season 2 is coming soon. I promise.

Derek Waterson here, with an update on the status of Wild Kratts: Reprogrammed, as well as my personal life. [Trigger Warnings below for substance abuse and sexual assault. Be advised.]

Those who may know me will know about the various examples of trauma I have faced, as well as my struggles with some forms of substance abuse and alcohol usage. Unfortunately, some of the actions of our story villains are not beholden completely to the page, and some of those actions have affected me personally, including the memories of my sexual assault.

Unfortunately, those memories caused me to relapse and break my sobriety, and I have been steadily drinking ever since. Unfortunately, furthermore, this has made me unable to write at the fullest potential of myself and my genius that you all so greatly deserve.

But with the help of @actualaspie, I have been steadily cutting back on my alcohol consumption and am coming out of my depressant-studded stupor. And I am beginning to feel more and more ready to tackle the third chapter of Reprogrammed.

I sincerely apologize for my inability to write. It pains me to no end to keep you all waiting. But I know deep down that it is best to stand down and await the full spark of genius' return to my mind, and not write the piteous mediocrity that would come otherwise that you guys don't deserve.

The genius will be returning soon. I promise. For now, can y'all comment on the story more? And ask me questions, I like those.
