“The things we do for a love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you, and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love, and it makes monsters of us all.”

So, I recently watched the first three episodes of Disney’s 2013 reboot for Max Steel.  For the most part, it’s your pretty straightforward merchandise driven, boy’s wish fulfillment, action/adventure stuff. But there are a couple little surprising twists which make the program pretty enjoyable.

Firstly, the monster, robot, and armor designs are really good and fun to see in action. Related to this, the main character (Max) has a little robot buddy called Steel which allows him to transform into the titular armored superhero Max Steel… But unlike most animation conventions, Steel is presented as 100% alive, sentient, and with a full range of emotions, providing a rare example of the human playing straight-man to a robot.

And then there’s the character of Molly McGrath, Max’s single mother. While she initially appears to be a simple “cool cartoon mom” along the same lines as Spider-man’s Aunt May, the plot instead chooses to incorporate her as one of the main soldiers fighting along side the army of good guys and her son: complete with a Grey Fox-esque ninja suit and laser guns. So, while the show make not break the model in terms of its building blocks, there are some elements which have made me invested. I’ll probably keeping watching and see how it plays out.

Also, this scene made me feel very unclean…

Some daemon AU, because it’s basically my favorite crossover type of all time. My headcanons have shifted a bit since my last rewatch but I like these better I think. I really really want to write a daemon AU fic just of important scenes from the show, maybe with a bit of post-canon exploration tbh

Mike: Domestic dog (alt choice: barn swallow)

Chuck: Tremblay’s salamander

Dutch: Peregrine falcon

Julie: Unsettled, he sticks to European magpie in Deluxe and tuxedo patterned domestic shorthair cat in Motorcity

Texas: Wolverine

(If you aren’t familiar with daemon AUs, they’re basically based on the universe of The Golden Compass/the His Dark Materials trilogy. In that universe, every person has an external, animal-shaped portion of their soul that speaks, has a distinct personality, and whose form indicates something about their personality or demeanor. Daemons can change shape until your personality becomes fixed, which is generally considered to happen in your early teens. After that, a daemon is considered “settled” and will never change shape again.)

lots and lots of daemon analysis under the cut

Live Free, Chapter 9: A Tale from the Past: Mike’s Story!! (3)

On Ao3

Chapter Summary: The third and final chapter of flashbacks catches us up completely with Mike’s side of the story; he meets Miss Julie (whom he’s never seen before in his life, ever), then has a rough couple of days.  It’s hard, being around the Burners.  They’re the enemy, and Mike belongs in Deluxe, and it hurts.

People are apparently under the impression that reblogging someone’s art and adding a comment is frowned upon and that can’t possibly be true, every artist I know of sees a reblog-comment as like the ultimate definitive reward for their hard work.

The Incest Book, as it is known, which also involves multiverse travel and time travel, and is weird and gay (which you can read for free in a couple places but also I can hook you up with a physical copy or an ebook), and is probably destined to be the most well-known thing I have written because none of my friends ever shut up about it when introducing me to new people [not porn but p suggestive in places]

The Tender Prison Sex story, which also includes a language barrier and an appendix for the conlang bits (because of course there is a conlang) [literally porn]

Stephen’s, a vaguely steampunk story about queer retail teens, which is an abandoned wip that ends in a super unsatisfying place don’t say I didn’t warn you [totally sfw]

A story about a dude with a cuckolding fetish, his wife, and her ex-girlfriend, wherein like all the dialogue during the porn is making fun of each other [literally porn]

A Good Omens fanfic about being terrorized by customers existing, and also matchmaking [totally sfw]

An extraordinarily pornographic series written in second person about like, polyamory and consent stuff which is Yet Another Incest Thing [literally porn]

A history essay series about Dragon Age from an in-universe perspective [totally sfw]

Also notable but hard to link to because lmao writing cohesive stories in single formats:

The Inimitable Adventures of Tiffany Takeover and M, which is about two mad scientists being gay and arguing with each other, and also like, committing crimes

A collection of stories I literally just stick in a folder called “znt” about Zach and Tristan, which are mostly about being poor as shit but also tangentially about being real gay and in love with your best friend, and also not realizing what bisexuality is actually like

Lost Affection, which is a band AU of various OCs, and which I once used as the basis for a giant painting in watercolor class, because I am extremely classy

Infighting, which started as an excuse for hatesex and turned into an extremely sad story about amnesia and trauma I guess? This one actually does have a draft but it sure is a huge mess

Lita and Erica who were literally Dragon Warrior 3 OCs and are now a real thing I care about and sometimes write thinly-veiled dragon warrior fanfic about

A short story I’ve been working on forever that is about dating artificial intelligence that sometimes people yell at me to finish

Everyone: NIX NO

The new chapter of Stand Still Stay Silent has properly kicked off, time for an overdue tumblr post! So hop on in for some comic reading fun! As you can see this chapter is going to be a spectacle of turquoises and violets with bits of yellow on the side, I’m excited to play around with this color scheme. It’ll fit well with the relaxing theme of character interaction and journeying that we’ll be focusing on for a little while .
