state of fics -- bolded for your convenience~
Look at me spamming people with random babble. You guys know why? NO ONE IS ONLINE TO SIT ON ME AND MAKE ME WRITE IS WHY.
° One week before the end of the month and I still haven't written any teamwork. One of these days (NOT TODAY) I'mma just gonna make a LJ post and... idk, every time someone comments I have to post them what I wrote since the last comment, or something. Maybe that'll motivate me (or maybe i'll be too busy answering comments to actually write XD)
° On the other hand today I wrote a bit of Lone Wolf and Pilot, the GW thing with bonded telepathic wolves, which is boring as fuck and mostly setup for the INCOMING CLUSTERFUCK bwahaha go killer go, but still, I have two complete scenes before that and maybe I could post them here or something. I remember when I used to spam you guys with all my scenes fresh from my bleeding and battered fingers. Maybe I should get back to that. >__>
° I also worked a lot on an illustration for the fic! I... pretty much traced an official pic of heero and duo and then added wolves in it. *cackles* I'm really not taking it as ~art~, it's more like an edit, but wow my fingers. Also I wish I knew how to make fake screencaps because it'd look really fun if I could copy the anime style, but every time I've tried to learn I was just... yawn lasso tool oh hey a butterfly, and the skill stayed unlearned.
I also started a pic with Heero and Duo and their merlin and crow daemons for that OTHER alternate universe with GW people having speshul soul pets. Self, what are you trying to tell me here... oh right! i should totes be illustrating the Gundams as Dragons verse. Yup, that must be it. Augh, illustration ADD. I think I just want Gboys and ANIMALS. >_>;
° In Homestuck news I'm a bit scared of the popularity of that Big Robots AU to be honest. XD; I was only planning to do their meeting at first, a sort of This One Gundam Episode Where Two Enemies Are Stuck On An Island At Night trope, and then the bunnies wanted to know what next and now, crap, I have to figure out more badass stuff to shove in that plot (AN ACTUAL STRUCTURED PLOT WOULD ALSO BE NICE), but so far I mostly have random telepathic shenanigans and Gamzee being terrifying and also John and Karkay using contrived nanomachines-related excuses to suck face. Which is always fun, I admit, but hmm. And now a ton of people like it, and they're all "i can't wait to see where you're going!!!" and uh okay, self, it's cool, most of your fics are done with that seat of the pants approach to storytelling ANYWAY! *makes self breathe*
° Re: Back to the Garden, so far I have two scenes. One of them isten FIFTEEN pages of Karkat Is Nosy And A Mother Hen And Pale For Everyone Ever, and the other one is about eight of Gamzee Is So In Pity With Tav And Karkat Awwsocute And Also A Really Creepy Motherfucker. No trace of action or politics or adventures, apart from some silly forest wanderings.
So i'm like "That's a lot of pages! I should post them as a preview!" and then I'm like "that's a lot of pages where NOTHING HAPPENS BUT LOTS OF TALK" and the next scenes are going to be actionny and reveal more plot stuff so I'm thinking if I want the chapter to feel balanced I should just wait to have the complete thing or else chapter 2A will feel REALLY slowboring...?????
but aaaaaaaaaaawannapostsomething. ;^;

It should probably be weirder than it is to be granted a different body now, but it's not like you had time to brood about it before you were thrown ass-first in undead assholes, and then it turned out if you didn't over-think it your body moved pretty normally, and the undead assholes worked really hard at not giving you time enough for self-reflection. Still, the body might work but your self-image hasn't updated yet. Bit lacking in reflective surfaces out here in the woods.
"Shit, you FLARPed with her. You know what she's like. Death fangirl or not, she's never even violent until you push her pretty damn far." You pause to consider it. "Or unless you're Equius. Huh, okay. Maybe she gets a little violent sometimes."
Eridan grimaces. "Oh, stop fucking with us already!" growls Vriska.
"Aw, but it's the most fun I've had in perigees. Would you really take that from me? You're heartless, Serket, just heartless." You relent, though. Younger or not, Vriska won't take it much longer without preparing her revenge, and she's dangerous. And Eridan... well, he can be dangerous too but so far he's been subdued enough that you're mostly worried about epic sulking fits.
Alright, and maybe it would bug you a tiny little bit to see either of them flounce out of the group, never to be seen again. Shit, you guys have cooperated and survived together for a sweep and a half, that's unprecedented for a group that size. It just... well, you got into the habit, you guess.
Your idiot-herding endeavors would not be doomed enough without those two particular pains in your ass. Yeah.
"More seriously, she has no reason to flip out on either of you, just because you're tiny and scrawny and vulnerable." x2 twitch combo. Hah. "I'd be more worried about that happening with Gamzee. Guess you two weren't here for that one, though!"
"... Shaddap," Eridan mutters.
You flick the edge of his fins with the back of a claw, curious to see what happens; he growls under his breath and gives you a hurt, betrayed look, it's like you kicked a barkbeast. He doesn't even wriggle against your hold. Crazy. Practical, though. You are going to use the shit out of it until they get desensitized and start back up with the casual disrespect.
"Anyway even if she's not cullin anyone much, what happens when the recruitment drones come for her? 'cause I bet they'd cull us a make a way through an' take her, easy -- uh, Kar? ... Kar, you're growlin."
You are, indeed, growling. Fancy that.
"Yeah, no. Fuck the drones. Fuck them without a fucking bucket, fuck them up the bulge and out through their waste chute, no."
Vriska gives you a strangely cautious look. "Bit missing in nookmunching and butt stains," she says, airy like she doesn't care, but she's still watching you. You briefly close your eyes and breathe out.
