Quackity's a workaholic.

He would spend nights working instead of sleeping, but eventually, when Las Nevadas was developed enough to mostly run itself, that it isn't just work. He could never truly sleep, never wanted to fall asleep, scared of his own mind when not focused on something, only sometimes pushing himself to rest through alcohol or pure exhaustion.

Wilbur on the other hand never had issues falling asleep. It came to him naturally, or maybe it was the constant exhaustion (especially after revival). He could never really sleep though. He would fall asleep, but not rest, half conscious most of the time, or experiencing terrible nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night.

Inspired by your recent art, Quackity would sometimes just stare at sleeping Wilbur. But, Wilbur would often stare at sleeping Quackity in the morning, admiring his lover when he's all soft and calm, and thinking of ways to surprise him with something nice when he wakes up. Maybe he should make him breakfast.

Ok so I love this cause I absolutely adore the "opposites attract" HCs with Q but it'd always be like "well they both definitely have sleep issues" but this is a way to have both and like that's a major slay

Three little hcs regarding their sleeping habits: 1. they both have a tendency to wake up when the other does, just automatically - they're just synchronised (most of the time at least one of them falls right back asleep tho); 2. Wilbur's weak sleep is significantly worse when Quackity's still working - like, he will finally come to bed and Wil's asleep but then Q sits down on the bed (quietly as fuck) and Wilbur's like "hey"; 3. they switch around their sleeping positions, but Wilbur absolutely loves being the small spoon - partly cause he's always cold, but mainly cause he wasn't held enough as a kid/hj

Aaaand in the spirit of the ask, a little headcanon that's tied up with this (plus more at the end):

Common one, but I'll elaborate - Quackity's warm, Wilbur's cold. So, of course Wilbur's cold after revival cause his body's kinda fucked up and all that. Quackity - for a normal human (or a normal animal hybrid I guess idk works with duck too) consistently has a pretty high body temperature. He prefers sleeping mostly undressed (maybe with shorts on but that's not a guarantee/lh), he usually has to unbutton his shirt a bit lower than standard (I mean he's also a whore but it's a 2 in 1 y'know), etc etc.

Now, with Schlatt that resulted in limited cuddling even in the honeymoon phase cause the other also had a higher body temperature, and they'd just end up sweaty and uncomfortable.

With Eret the relationship started with a generic, platonic, positive message ("you matter ♡ -Eret" which they gave out to people in general just as a nice gesture, but nothing romantic) and ended with Q alone at the altar, so it's probably safe to say that didn't really come up.

With Karl and Sapnap though his body temperature was both too much, and not enough - Sapnap, as a demon hybrid, was much warmer, so with him cuddling wasn't really the most comfortable long-term, and while Karl was slightly on the colder side, Quackity wasn't as warm as Sapnap, so Karl would mostly cling to the latter. They'd try to make it all "even", but the emotional and physical distance was still noticeable.

And then there's Wilbur.

In pogtopia they didn't really cuddle much, but whenever they touched shoulders or leaned against each other Quackity noticed that Wilbur would frequently lean in for just a second longer than normal. This came back 10x stronger after revival. With a lot of Wilbur's nerves and blood vessels fucked up, he's pretty cold most of the time. The first time they cuddle he absolutely sinks into the embrace, making a comment about how nicely warm the other is. Quackity doesn't expect it to hit him as hard as it does. He giggles, slightly flustered, and dismisses it as Wilbur just being colder. From then on it repeats, and soon enough Quackity returns the favour by unintentionally hitting Wilbur with something along the lines of "you're like, the perfect temperature". See, Wilbur's always been on the colder side. He'd hear comments about how cold his hands were - not to even mention post revival - and he never really thought much of it, until Quackity's comment just hit him like a ton of bricks, and he just felt so perfectly in place in Q's arms. They just form the perfect temperature equilibrium; not too warm, not too cold - just perfect.

Little bonus: Quackity starts occasionally taking a jacket or sth with him even though he doesn't need it but he knows Wilbur will probably get cold (and need a second jacket).

Another little bonus that connects this HC to a different one about Quackity having sensory issues. VERY tldr is that sometimes he just gets this intense physical discomfort in his limbs (AuADHD moment), and only way to lessen it is intense stretching, OOOORR using Wilbur as his personal ice bag. There'll be nights where Wilbur will try to move his foot cause "it's probably too cold and bothering Q" just for Quackity to "scold" him for moving it cause it was pressing perfectly into his calf and keeping him from losing his mind cause of sensory issues.

Also they both have food sensitivities, but Q's are more broad, and sometimes they'll spend hours arguing(/lovingly) over what to get on pizza, or when they go to a new food place sometimes Wilbur will just look at Quackity who's staring at the idk olives he accidentally ordered in his food (cause he didn't know the dish contained them) and he will just silently slide over his plate so that his boyfriend can peacefully pick all of them out and give them to Wilbur. When Wilbur encounters food sensitivities - say, in a restaurant - Quackity will go full Karen mode and make sure his boyfriend gets only the food he wants.

Continuing the topic of mental health, sometimes Wilbur will struggle with hygiene during depressive episodes, to which Quackity will either motivate him with showering together(/nsx), a shared bath, if he's doing worse, or in the worst case scenario he'll help him clean himself up with a damp cloth (no judgement, no comments even, just love and support)

Anyway not over how during his introduction Wilbur called himself boyfriend (adj) and Quackity proceeded to call him a whore

[fernlessbastard]

okay so a headcanon

Quackity does pole dance, but Wilbur instead of only seeing it as something sexual, he mostly sees it as some sort of art like ballet, something gracefull. Of course, sometimes he gets aroused and he always is blushing, but he is usually just blushing from looking at Quackity doing sonething he sees as so dificult.

Wilbur admires Quackitys habilities, and sometimes Quackity tries to teach him a bit, and after sometimes Wilbur learned just a bit, like how to climb the pole, how to go down (wich i think he learned a sometime after learning to climb, so usually Quackity would have to help him get down, and now Wilbur sometimes Wilbur acts like he cant is "afraid of the heights" and he needs Quackitys help, just so Quackity would carry him down) and like really simple postures, but its nothing near how professional Quackity is, espcially since Quackity does phisycal things daily and Wilbur just does that when he is with Quackity while Quackity is doing something physical

Ok so

I love this as a concept, and the first part is absolutely true

BUUUUUTT - and here's some random Fern trivia - I actually do pole, and I'll be honest, Wilbur is not learning to climb without determination. The very beginning your skin hurts like an absolute B I T C H. Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he couldn't do it - it's not impossible, obviously - but if it's just him learning a couple tricks, then he's not gonna learn to climb, especially if we go with the hc that his body isn't in the best shape post revival

Also he'd have to jump down and have Q catch him, cause I can't imagine the amounts of leg and abs strength it'd require to go down a pole while holding someone else in your arms--

Also pole isn't that high off the ground, and always during practice you'll have a mattress underneath, so jumping off even from a higher point is usually safe. And before climbing you learn to sit, and alongside that you pick up on how to safely jump/slide off a pole from lower heights

But like in all fairness I'm being mostly pedantic, cause pole is my favourite sport ever, and I had to temporarily give it up recently, so now I'm hanging onto any chance to talk about it lmao--

Anyway I'd say he probably just leans a couple simple spins

Either way anon kissing you on the lips for giving me a chance to talk about pole dancing

One of my favourite concepts for a comedic tnt duo situation is Wilbur trying to be edgy and joke about being a zombie and eating people just to be hit with the information that Quackity has in fact canonically consumed human flesh

#i just think it's really funny #like the guy's talking big and all of that about how he's technically a zombie and idk trying to kinda 'scare' Q #just for Q to hit him with 'been there done that' #peak comedy in my opinion #tnt duo #tntduo #quackbur #fernless rants

[fernlessbastard]

Guys guess fucking what the last post I reblogged just made me remember

I used to "date" (it was complicated) a bitch who actively said that Polish people are lazy, unintelligent, straight up born with an affinity for evil, were all for concentration camps (ignore how we were actively slaughtered there too), etc etc

Shout-out to my silly brain and thinking that a person legitimately demeaning my entire nationality wasn't a red flag👍

Still not over how jort storm is a legitimately good song

[fernlessbastard]

Talking about the concept of consciousness, replicating the brain, perfect cloning and how it still doesn't transfer your consciousness but only recreates it, effectively killing you even though to everyone around you're alive etc with my boyfriend and thinking about how I wrote Wilbur saying "You're not gonna find anyone else who can satisfy you intellectually (...) like I can."

#the man in my fic was right #no-one compares to my cwilbur coded boyfriend #mf is insane #fern rambles #fernless rants #also rewrite spoilers??

[fernlessbastard]

Since the more twitter-minded crowd seems to have left the tnt duo space I shall now throw you guys some smutty art I've decided (I've gotten shit for some pieces beforehand, cause "bUt tHe CoNtEnT CrEAtOrS" even tho I always did my best to remove characters from CCs, so I just decided it's not worth it - but now I see no reason why not, soo 👀)

(I've actually already posted one; it's all gonna be tagged as mature content, so if you wanna see it you gotta go to settings, and I'm only saying this cause there's people who aren't "native" to Tumblr here. PLEASE don't look at it if you're a minor. I'm serious. If you value my approval and comfort at all, just don't look at it.)

Oh god fellas I was looking through my old sketchbook and I just found some very old doodles of Wilbur in a maid outfit I never ended up posting - you want 'em?

Gotta love how opening my sketchbook in public is a hazard to both me and general society

[fernlessbastard]

Turns out I had some time today lmao

Ok so first off, the following will be described in a language as though stating the canon, but that's just for simplicity's sake. It is, in fact, purely the way I personally interpret canon in a way that gives it more of a visual representation - as I'm primarily a visual artist, and obviously my art thrives off visual design, able to portray a story in image alone. It also obviously concerns only the characters of dsmp, and not the content creators, but I hope I don't need to disclose that and it's quite the logical conclusion to draw.

(tw for dermatophagia i suppose??? Picking at scabs and stitches)

That being said: Wilbur.

He has stitches, yeah? He was decomposing for quite a while and likely had multitude of wounds at the time of his death either way. Now, we can talk about the skin eroding all we want, but let's make it less gory and say all he needed were stitches, and his body once revived resumed processes of healing, ect.

So he gets stitched up, likely by Phil, who probably has the most experience in that sort of thing, alongside maybe Techno. But it's a spontaneous thing, and even if they had the sort of stitches which dissolve, they'd have to prepare them fresh, most likely, which would only take up time. So ultimately Wilbur's stitches would have to be manually removed once the wounds healed.

It's been over a year now, he'd have the stitches removed by now no problem.

The issue is

Wilbur doesn't care enough to have that done, and most importantly doesn't feel like he deserves to have anyone do that for him - his obvious self-hatred preventing himself from getting close to anyone enough where they'd offer to do it anyway.

But he has a different use for the stitches: he picks at them.

The scars are mostly healed now, and so he removes some of the thread when anxious or self-destructive - it's become a soothing behaviour of sorts for him.

He's opened some wounds like that, though most were left to heal.

But not all.

At the beginning he proceeded to pick at the scabs forming on his left upper arm - that's where the bloodied up bandage came from. Not that it was so bad it seeped through his thick coat - the bandage placed on the outside of his coat was never meant to stop the bleeding, he's not dumb - it's always been a cry for help. But that's where the blood was initially from at least.

He soon moved onto his stomach. The wound has obvious deep significance, and feeds perfectly into his self-punishing sulking, reminding him of his own mortality in both a soothing and a distressing way.

Nonetheless, most of the stitches remain, though not entirely.

The person perfect to remove the stitches that are left and help Wilbur's disrupted wounds heal is Quackity.

It's not even about the romantic implications of the action, but rather with him as Wilbur's foil it only makes sense.

Wilbur hurt a lot of people. Namely Tommy, Niki, Ranboo, Tubbo, Fundy - they need to forgive him. Well, not need - can, if they feel it's adequate. But the forgiveness is something they can give - not the other way around. There was a power imbalance in those relationships, and so they can't be equals now either - not entirely. Wilbur, no matter now mentally ill, has to be the one to make up for hurting those people.

With Phil I believe it's Wilbur who'd have the right to forgive. I will remain a c!Phil apologist to a degree - he never wanted to hurt his son, he didn't have the whole story, but that doesn't excuse negligence, only explains it, and nonetheless there's clearly some deeper issues that - as the father - he has the responsibility to address and reach out to Wilbur first.

But Quackity?

With Quackity he's on equal footing.

They both did shit they shouldn't have, but their "hurting and being hurt by" narratives don't revolve around eachother the same way they do around other people. They reflect eachother's deepest issues and pain, and more than anything treat eachother as autonomous human beings, rather than whatever figures they're viewed as by the rest of the server. They undeniably know eachother the best out of the server, or rather on a deeper level than other people. One could argue Charlie and Tommy know them best instead, and that wouldn't be entirely incorrect, but they still don't ever see them in their entirety.

Wilbur and Quackity are for eachother the only ones with whom the other can be truly honest, with all the vile flaws, and still be accepted as human.

Because they're equals.

They mirror eachother.

They don't need to forgive eachother as much as forgive themselves, through one another.

And that's why I believe that the moment Wilbur starts getting better must be sealed with his reconnecting with Quackity, and vice versa.

Only then, as Wilbur begins to heal, he can have the person who reflects his own self doubts but also represents his potential to heal to remove all the remaining stitches, and let the wound on his stomach heal.

Those melancholic days

when light from outside feels cold and static,

when silence is buzzing in my ears

telling me the gossip from friend's friend,

when the free and open world around me

is like a soft, white room with a door without a handle,

when earth stops her spinning

taking a breath;

are the days when my empty mind is filled with you.

A simple image of a lone person deep in their studies,

answering such trivial questions

like 'what colour are the contents of this vial'.

And I'm asking questions:

What colour is your soul?

Why is it blue?

And does it mean it's an acid?

And I'm asking the question:

What do I add so it's as warm and red with love as mine?

- 🥝

You should be castrated and hospitalised for the rest of your life

Anyways you say "blue" and then suggest low pH? my guy blue isn't the colour of pH indicators for acid but for alkali. Do you know how hard fucking pressed you'd be to find ANY blue acidiccompounds/solutions/elements?????????? BECAUSE I DO KNOW. 'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? YEAH, FINE, I ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE.

I couldn't find an element that'd make senseby itself - cobalt could work but that's not producing acidic pH by itself. Next idea I had was copper (II) hydroxide - I was even considering suggesting using some aldehydes in high temperature, which would produce hot, red residual (see it could've even worked out for yo!! Hot, red, but no, you're a fucking dumbarse who fucking decided to talk about BLUE FUCKING ACID), BUT ONCE AGAIN, Cu(OH)2 is NOT acidic.

So fine. have it your stupid, stupid way, dumbarse. Here's what i came up with in the end.

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate. It's blue, it's acidic, idfk it's a crystal. Either way, good luck with turning CuSO4 into Cu2O IN ACIDIC PH. Fucking bitch ass loser smh.

Alright, next one. I GUESS you could go for Chromium(VI) peroxide, though I don't think that'd be acidic, but i guess you could argue CrO3 is?????? Either way, Chromium(VI) peroxide is a deep blue colour, and I suppose you could get it from CrO5 to CrO3 as I've mentioned earlier, which is indeed red, but you're probably gonna end up with green Cr3+ ions instead.

Ok last but not least - surprise, surprise!! It's the cobalt come back. Ions [CoCl4]2- and [Co(H2O)6]2+ stay in an equilibrium of sorts, having blue and pinkish-redish colours to them respectively. That'd mean you could throw that equilibrium off, and start off from blue, and go into this red-ish pink. Anyway to summarise I think on the second thought we should actually both be hospitalised.......... Hey wanna be roommates ;]

Hey guys

In the light of current situation I will be toning down the content.

I haven't posted in a little bit, and I had posts lined up, but I'm pushing them towards a further date as I don't see them appropriate to post at such time.

I hope you're all staying safe.

I might take a break from posting for a little bit.

That being said I've been preparing to open comissions - that's still viable and I will be letting you guys know specifics soon enough.

I will probably be particular about what content I accept though for the next couple of months or so.

Please stay safe all of you.
