okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??
edit: i started writing it

I would love, even if its just its just brief summaries, to know the different thoughts going through bills head throughout the last smut. (mainly when he got the text and when dipper starts just blurting out thoughts and ideas bc i think those moments would be fun to see)
Imagine you're having the shittiest day at work. You're gritting your teeth and hanging onto it by your fingernails, knowing that eventually dealing with this absolutely idiotic, waffling, overstuffed, condescending dipshit of a client will be done with, you'll charge him out the nose for your services - which will probably be, like a hundred dollars, the way this is going! What bullshit. At least afterwards, you can collapse onto the bed and complain to your spouse about it. Which you have been doing, actually, waiting for a decent excuse to bail or check out early.
Then you get a text. And it's your partner saying they got you a brand new console, your favorite pizza - Oh! And a million bucks in untraceable cash - but you might have to kick your shitty client in the nuts so hard his eyes pop out. Does that sound... okay? No pressure or anything.
The reason Bill was a minute later than expected is because even he needed a moment. It was the sheer whiplash from going from Shit to Fucking Amazing.

your recent asks reminded me- to be honest i dont know how common of an idea this is but with ut at least i headcanon that the monsters probably dont make babies the same way humans do, like a "a monster couple wish upon a rare magical flower to have a baby and they see if it accepts their wish" or something that is just purely magical in a sense, like im fine with sex but i just find more interest in stuff like that especially considering more magical stuff implies like normality with same sex parents and stuff because it would be cool to be able to have children regardless of you/your partners sex, sorry this was a random ramble lol
*slowly stops reaching for the "it's been x days since biscia got asked about skeleton pregnancy" calendar*
no i completely agree. as usual, i just don't think toby factored the mechanics/biology behind monster reproduction in his worldbuilding, but that's only another reason to go wild yourself imo.
fun fact you might not know about if you followed me rather recently: i actually have a joke oc called deliberdy who's an immortal/boss monster stork based on a stereotypical 60s union organizer who brings babies to everyone in the underground. literally. she's like a postwoman for monster babies. where do the babies come from? secret of the trade.

For the ask game: 🔪 🏜️ 🦴🌸
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
I mean honestly. The NFL draft kinda creeped me out. I had to learn so much about it to figure out what I wanted to happen in my epilogue fic for History of American Capitalism.
But also the deep dive into how Bucky would spell bubeleh for that story was funny. Not weird, but my beta and I were like okay he grew up going to synagogue in Indianapolis but his bubbe was Ashkenazi Russian immigrant how would he spell these yiddish words? Would he use yarmulke, yamaka or kippah? Whatever he calls it would he wear it under his football helmet for Rosh Hashanah? I'm not Jewish, but I wanted it to feel natural to any Jewish person reading the fic.
🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
I am chatty and like conversational comments I can respond to. People pointing out specific lines that made them laugh or tear up is very constructive to me. It's fascinating to see how different lines land. But I'm not picky!
🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?
Actually probably Lord of the Rings. All my fics contain a Lord of the Rings reference as a running joke but the thing is I really pull themes from those books, including the different relationships to types kf masculinity and types of heroism, which I find very interesting to intermingle with the more rigid versions of masculinity and heroism in the MCU. Also the fundamental optimism of those stories.
But I dunno. I am not one of those people who had the Silmarillion or whatever memorized. I can't even spell the damn thing.
But I really like Samwise Gamgee. My role model. (Except I don't cook)
🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them
Oh my gosh! I have a 17 year old cat named Fancy. She is named after the Reba McEntire song. She is a very small tuxedo cat with very fancy white boots. I got her from this terribly run shelter that has since been shut down. (Hence her tragic upbringing turned life of privilege uptown due to her good looks and grit similar to the Reba song).
She is a huge pain in the ass because she pees where she shouldn't and gets weirder and more depressive and introverted every year so basically we are twins, emotionally speaking. (Except I use the restroom properly thank you very much).
She might have been born just poor cat trash but Fancy is her name! Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down !
Asks here

I like this little thing he does, where he will hold his reading glasses in his mouth when his hands are busy, or even when he thinks really hard. Sometimes he will just do it simply to do it, a mindless action I enjoy seeing

bet Clown gives really good massages. just look at his hands. there's no way a Big Guy with Big Guy Hands like him doesn't give a killer shoulders rub. he would absolutely give you a massage with zero hesitation if you so much as mentioned any pain you had. love that man sm
