How Hobie would do his own research about the old empire since he knew you were getting more into touch with your culture

How he would research your name as well and give you a little translated nickname (My name is Mixtli and I'll use that as an example) Mixtli = Cloud

He'd be teasing and say shit like "Oi, steam/fog" yk what I mean??

Okay so i’ve always had hobie calling asa nature but i feel like he’d start calling him Tlalli or earth because asa does not really have a translation in nahuatl. asa loves hearing in his accent from his mouth.

You’ve heard of cyberpunk, and steampunk, and, if you’re cool, Solarpunk. I am going to be making new -punk styles and describing them here.

Eldritchpunk

-So usually, these things are based on whatever power source they’re using, so in Eldritchpunk, they use some otherworldly energy to power their machines.

-Set in port towns or lovecraftian-esch cities. 19th to early 20th century.

-Boats. Fog. Ocean things.

-Machinery with pumping pistons and glowing tubes filled with otherworldly sludge. Some machines or vehicles built around creatures.

-Eldritch Horror and such are semi-commonplace. Possibly even otherworldly beings living within cities as civilians.

-Kinda steampunky but less steam and brass and more fog and wet wood

Podunkpunk

-Code Name: KND and Craig of the Creek energy. A bunch of kids in a small town making weapons and stuff that probably shouldn’t work and yet it does.

-Gumball guns and slingshots. Treehouse bases. Lots and lots of duct tape.

-Small towns with kids riding around on bicycles here and there protecting the town from whatever.

-Double A batteries, random lightbulbs, that stuff.

Runepunk

-Powered by rocks with runes on them or things of the sort.

-Could be taken in the direction of either Nordic Viking aesthetics with runic technology and semi-modern, or semi-modern people discovering runic technology and using it for floating structures and such.

Biopunk

-Think the game Scorn with all the technology being made of pulsing meat and intestinal tubes.

Rhythmpunk

-Machinery being controlled in some way shape or form from music.

I kinda lost steam (funny joke) after Podunkpunk.

Hobie is sent to Asa’s world and gets his shit rocked almost immediately because Asa Rameriz is a badass motherfucker. He isn’t sure what to do at first other then he wants to fuck. Asa looks at him shrugs and they fuck but it isn’t important in the long run.

Eventually Hobie learns that Asa is aro too except it doesn’t seem the same as being around other ari people. This person is like breathing, and when he meets Asa’s kids he realizes that this is something he could do forever and love it.

My friend (@the-cat-and-the-birdie) posed the question of hobie being someone’s gay awakening but Asa was Hobie’s realization that he wants to spend his life with someone in a way he never thought he could have.

Asa tells him about queerplatonic relationships, tells him that they can be each other’s forever and when Asa says, “I will never love you romantically but you are the breath in my lungs,” for the first time hobie sees himself in another person

hobie loves it. brings texts for them to read at bedtime, listening to the familiar lull of his partners soothing voice. in these moments, he isn’t hobie brown the artist or spider punk but he’s hobie, his lover’s best friend
