Contra Mundum

Nilsia. They/them. Talkstoself on ao3. Sometimes NSFW content.

So, while I’m very popular on discord servers and doing well on ao3 itself, I have been told I’m shit at advertising my fics on socials. Oops? SO I may be planning some unhinged tiktoks about my own work. Why not.

Until then here’s a master post of my Huskerdust stuff, including summaries (click the title to read the fic on ao3)

See You Next Tuesday: Rated E. Ongoing.

Human AU. Sugar Daddy Husk and hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold Angel. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary: Angel doesn’t really mind his job as a hooker, he provides a service and people pay him - work is work, but if a well-hung millionaire wants to whisk him away to live in a mansion well… there are worse ways to live.

Just Like That: Rated E. Complete. (95,718 words)

Canon compliant, friends-with-benefits turns emotional. BDSM. Deals with trauma and recovery. I’m very proud of this one.

Summary: After Angel has another rough night with Valentino, Husk finally caves to Angel’s requests for attention… but if they’re going to play this game there are five rules to follow.

What The Spider Wove: Rated E. Complete. (76,830 words)

Fluffy little crack idea that spiralled into heaven/hell politics. What if Huskerdust (not together) accidentally acquired a baby?

Summary: For a bonding exercise (“create something your partner will love”) Angel makes Husk a doll. Just an ordinary doll… it’s definitely not going to come to life with accidental duck sewing machine magic or anything weird…

Hitman In Handcuffs: Rated E. Complete (18,018 words)

Human AUs more your style? I’ve got you covered. Shameless excuse to write badass Angel in a dress.

Summary: Working for Alastor, Husk has been assigned a target: take out Anthony D’Angelo at Vinnie’s Lounge… except he’s not there. Unless he’s wearing a dress and heels? Further investigation may be required.

Number One With A Bullet: Rated E. Complete. (4,511 words)

…did I base a whole oneshot around a stupid joke? Yes. Yes I did. Angel comes home with a bullet in him. Not like that.

Summary: One of Valentino’s punishments has interesting repercussions for Angel and Husk’s developing relationship.

Just Say Thank You: Rated E. Complete. (6,266 words)

Honestly probably does not warrant the E rating but Angel opens his mouth and explicit stuff comes out. This is mostly just fluff!

Summary: Angel is not used to guys being nice to him.

Clear As A Bell: Rated M. Complete. (1,191 words)

…I was sick and wanted something tooth rottingly fluffy.

Summary: Sometimes “I love you” isn’t said out loud.

BONUS:

The Big Bad Wolf: Rated T. Complete. (1,098 words)

Not really Huskerdust but their kid from What The Spider Wove? Yeah, there’s a reason Alastor does not babysit

Summary: Five year old Lucky has a conversation with her favourite Uncle

hey so when ao3 is back you’re all gonna leave lots of kudos and nice comments on the fics you read right. even if you’re rereading. because you recognize the contributions of writers to fan communities. you understand fanfiction as one of the pillars of fandom and you feel lost without it right? so you’re gonna feed the writers? good job ❤️

And I really do mean insane

Unregulated.

Sexual.

Economy.

Let that sink in. Marinate in that for a moment. Swish it around. Get a taste for it. Unregulated sexual economy. What do you think he means by this?

He means exactly what you think he means.

Every single paragraph of this article is basically a nightmare, so have a look:

The UK is “suffering from having a totally unregulated sexual economy”, the Reform MP Danny Kruger has said, and he indicated he expected the party to have a “limited but important role” in resetting sexual culture.

Oh, at least it'll only be limited! Because the government stepping in to 'reset' 'sexual culture' is a totally normal thing and totally nothing to worry about (though of course, I'd have to imagine Dannyballs here imagines things like "Not mandating women pop sprogs" constitues the present government pulling the culture away from where it should be).

Kruger said Reform UK had a “pronatalist ambition” and would seek policies to encourage people to have more children, including exploring changes to the tax system to make payments based on households rather than individuals.

I do love how all these populist people all have a huge thing for there being more babies (typically only of one shade) but are all also joined at the hip to social and economic interests and make wanting to and being able to have children odious and difficult. So their solutions typically boil down to "Uh... can we bribe or force women to get pregnant?"

Also! Payment by household? Yeah! Can't see that going wrong! Especially when paired with Danny's personal opposition to no-fault divorce - I mean, who ever heard of anyone being trapped in a loveless and abusive marriage? That doesn't happen! That's a leftist myth!

“I’m not interested in your love life, or anything about your personal life – that is your business. But I am interested in the framework in which you make your decisions, and I’d like the framework to be more pro-social. If you want – most people do want – to settle down with one person to have children, we should make that easier.”

"I'm not interested in your love life or your personal life, I'm just interested in using the force and authority of government to arrange society in such a way as to encourage - and implicitly discourage - certain ways of life. If you don't want to toe the line that's fine! You'll just suffer for it. That's your choice!"

Kruger said he was worried about the declining birthrate and that the party wanted to encourage more women to have children. “Yes, we have a pronatalist ambition. We want people to have more children, and we think the government should get behind that wish,” he said.

Yeah see, babies. Always with the babies. It's creepy and weird. And does that mean fixing any of the numerous problems with the way society is arranged to make it easier for people to have children? I have to imagine no. I have to imagine somewhere in here a woman is staying at home. Because what else is she going to do? Her job? Pffbt. Don't be ridiculous - who needs two incomes in this day and age? And why should a woman be working? That's the man's job! She's too busy PUMPIN' OUT THE BABIES.

“The Reform slogan is family, community, country. We’re talking about the associations that give us meaning and identity and security and a sense of belonging. I think that’s where the country is now going – away from a doctrine of total liberal individualism.”

Totally not a deeply concerning slogan. I fucking hate slogans. "Good thing, nice word, thing you like" yeah sure I believe you. But what do you meeaaaannnn when you say identity? What if my identity involves no-fault divorce? And what if my security hinges on not having the kind of nutbags who say things like 'sexual economy' anywhere near anything at all ever?

Eurgh.

I despise the word unity. Because it is only ever deployed by people like Danny here, and only ever in the context of "Shut up and agree with us and it'll be fine" - that's not unity, guys.

But you knew that already.

Anyway. Yes. Lunatics. Look at these people.

And they're popular.

We're so hosed.

Kitties dont relly have Breeds like doggies do but they have special types like Weird Baby, Angry Head, Sleeper Fatty, Yappy Meower, Orange, Sweetie Playful, and The Creep. If you collect them all, well. You will probably have too many kitties.

[b0nkcreat]

you can collect them like pokeymans

[kittiescatlover]

Wow this is actually a perfect drawing of some of the types of kitties. Thank you

Due to a family emergency I will not be updating fanfiction for a while

Cw for serious illness/imminent death

On January 9th my oldest brother had a heart attack whilst on vacation in a foreign country. It took 45 minutes to revive him. He’s been in an induced coma since and all signs point to severe brain hypoxia - he was without oxygen too long and large parts of his brain are dead.

They’ve outright said he won’t recover.

But my family all seem to be in a deep state of denial and insisting he’s strong, he can fight it, he just needs a little longer, he’s coming home etc… I don’t like being the only realist in the group chat. I don’t like feeling like I’m doing something wrong by accepting the fact that he’s not coming back. Even if they stabilise him, physically (his kidneys are failing, he can’t breathe on his own, he has no pupil response, his blood pressure is through the floor) he cannot recover from the brain damage. They’ve explained this to us. Everyone heard the same thing. But my sister is talking about “when he wakes up” and various aunts are praying for a speedy recovery. Grief is weird and messy. I get that denial is a common response… but it hurts.

He’s the third sibling I’ve lost. We lost dad last year. I’m not okay rn.

I listened to “A Song For The Drunk and Broken Hearted” by Passenger one too many times and then drew

🎶 The Joker laughs along 🎶

🎶 As The Jester’s outsmarted 🎶

🎶 And The Gambler tries to win back what he’s lost 🎶

🎶 Oh and The Sad Man he sings a song for the drunk and broken hearted 🎶

(And I’ve got Charlie and/or Lucifer as The Fool to draw next)

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
