I'm Dino 🦕 I use He/Him

I'm a fanfic writer for the Colorquest fandom (TwiddleDiddle on AO3). Pretty new to posting my fics, and pretty busy.

I'm open for requests and questions, just send me an ask!

Want to talk about Colorquest? Send me a message on Discord (TwiddlyTwinks)

[twiddlytwinks]

Hey guys you know you're allowed to run your CQ fics through a spell checker before you post them to AO3, right?

[twiddlytwinks]

Either I am the best writer in the CQ fandom who knows the characters so well I can predict their next moves in the doodles 🤔🤔🤔

OR

The Wire has been reading my fics and getting inspired 🤔🤔🤔

I’d love to join a cq discord server however I don’t want to get groomed or conversate with adults.

no hate I js don’t think a minor and an adult should talk online like dm wise you get what I mean :::::;(

[twiddlytwinks]

YUPPPP

Sadly, having age-restricted servers creates a paradox.

If a server only has a bunch of 14 year olds in it, the grooming happens anyways, and there is nobody to step in and say that it's inappropriate.

If a server is 18+ kids end up there anyways, and pretend to be adults by overcompensating.

What we have right now is a bunch of young teenagers getting groomed by each other, and then the complicit adults in the fandom turning their gaze away COUUUGH COUGH who said that?

Maybe I'm too woke

I know I do a lot of complaining but what's up with Colorquest fans and not being able to draw fat people and/or people of colour 👀 what's that about guys

[twiddlytwinks]

I think I've hit a bit of a writing slump for now. I'll get around to the requests when I feel like writing again, but I might focus a little more on original character stuff.

[twiddlytwinks]

Just an observation that there are a lot of mimes that are farm animals in Colorquest

Oxaclock is an ox, Chickenstab a chicken, El Ganso a goose, Weepy a sheep, Foxglove a fox, Atrox a dog, Uppsulka a spider, and a wasp like Scuppy is close enough to a bee, imo.

Does Hamburger count as a cow???

Idk, they're just cute and I want to feed them grains

[suprchicken]

look what i created!!!

In others there were usually too few characters, I tried to squeeze the main cast

you can put your oc's in the middle

[twiddlytwinks]

Looks like we've got a few opposites!

When you’re coloring that quest

[twiddlytwinks]

Colorquest fans hound you for shipping against "canon" orientations as if Wire hasn't done the exact same thing.

Rant ahead.

It's almost as if the toxicity of shipping culture in fandoms dominated by tweens wasn't the thing that destroyed -- hate to mention it-- HP.

Colorquest is an everchanging story with next to no real labels around character demographics: next to no canon ethnicities, genders, or orientations. Wire ENCOURAGES fan interaction and interpretation of the characters.

Obviously people can bitch about your stupid headcanons (whiteganso) if they're genuinely stupid, but if your only argument is "but this character is canonically blah blah blah!" then maybe you have to rethink your argument. Make sure your argument is your own, and genuine, and is backed.

Every conversation I've had with anybody over this, they've pulled out strawmen like "okay what if I headcanoned everybody as cishet and white?" or generalised statements of headcanoning one character who is "canonically" gay for example, as "removing representation".

It's larping woke by standing for "representation" whilst that "representation" is literally just a label. Nothing would change in the story if Elliot was cis, or if Foxglove was bisexual, or if Bonnie was alloromantic. Their labels aren't rep, they're just labels.

However... The story WOULD change if Calamea was a man, or if Michael was a cishet dude.

Before you challenge somebody's headcanon, ask yourself if it changes the story? If it doesn't, ignore it, because it doesn't matter. If it does, encourage them to expand on their alternate ideas within canon-divergent fanart, or fics.

Every difference is an opportunity to branch out into novel ideas. The good thing about Colorquest is that it continues to evolve as new stuff is written. It could literally take any path, at this point.

I guess what I'm saying is, grasp ideas rather than reject them. Preservation of canon just leads to a poisoning of progression. Consider anything, and deliberately form your own opinion on it. However, make sure your creativity has a reason.

people love to pretend acknowledge most of the mimes are also feminine but when its el ganso yall are allergic to calling her she

[twiddlytwinks]

Please?

Hmmmmmmmmm 🤔

No! 🤣🤣🤣

[litterofbiscuit]

its interesting being a weird autistic tranny as a kid and letting yourself get accustomed to the idea that youre just some magically antisocial loser who is "introverted" and is happy being alone and then you grow up and realize that actually you love being social you love hugs you love going out and hate being alone you just hated all of the social opportunities available to you growing up so much you let yourself romanticize solitude as a slightly less miserable state than interacting with people
