Full image description below cut!

Image Description: A long form comic including three pages, all set in a dingy necromancy store and illustrated in a cartoony, fully-colored and shaded style.

In the first panel, a hooded figure sits behind a desk with his back to us.

In the second panel, we see part of his face which has a big sly smile on it as he looks over his shoulder. Behind him, a door opens with the ring of a small silver bell.

In the next panel he spins around in his chair and says: “Welcome to Blood-Bath and beyond, your home for necromantic wares! Anything I can help you find--”

Next: “...Today?” he finishes, seemingly dumbfounded. In the middle of the frame are three new people. Barry Bluejeans is in the middle, he is a white middle aged chubby man with brown and grey hair, stubble, and wearing a white shirt, brown coat and glasses. To the left is Taako, a dark skinned elf with straight choppy dark brown hair died lavender at the bottom, wearing a large purple wizards hat, a purple cape with gold stars, a frilled shirt and high-wasted pants. To the right is Lup, a dark skin elven woman with a face identical to Taako’s but with longer curly dark brown hair died red at the tips, and wearing a wine red wide-brimmed hat and wine red dress. The twins each are resting an arm on one of Barry’s shoulders, framing him.

In the next frame, Barry has a finger resting on his chin as he says “Uh... yes, I’m looking for a spell book with level 12 or higher spells.”

Next is a close-up of the shopkeeper’s eye, squinting forwards with a thought bubble that says: “Level 12?”

Next is the same close-up of the shopkeeper’s eye, only this time it is wide and looking up past Barry.

Next is a frame of just Taako and Lup, with Barry just slightly out of frame. Taako covers his hand as if to whisper something to Lup as they both look judgmentally in the direction of the shopkeeper. A speech bubble comes from offscreen as the shopkeeper says “Right away, sir.”

Starting the second page is a frame of the shopkeeper dropping a large book onto the table in front of him. The book looks to be stitched together from skin, with a large green eye-shaped jewel on the front cover and small fangs on the spine.

Next, Barry has picked up the book and is looking at it with a smile of curiosity as he says “Oh, neat!” The twins both peer over his shoulder as the shopkeeper looks at the three startled.

Next is a close up of Barry’s hand sliding a collection of very different looking coins across the table, including some golden hoops, a silver perforated coin with a dragon emblem, a pale blue coin, a canadian loonie, and a thin gold bar with line markings on it (it’s not a loss easter egg don’t worry about it)

The next panel is shot from over the shopkeeper’s shoulder. Barry excitedly shows an interested but calm Lup something in the book as Taako rolls a bunch of teeth around in one hand, bored. The shopkeeper thinks: “Who is this guy?!”

Next is a panel showing half of the shopkeeper’s face, the border of the panel cutting him off vertically as he stares forwards intently.

The next panel is exactly the same, except he has narrowed his eye, the pupil now glowing, as the words “true sight” are spelled above him

In the next panel, Barry is shot from the neck up, looking excitedly at something offscreen.

Next is the form of Barry’s red robe litch form, shot from the exact same position as the previous panel. He glows a faint red, the inside of his hood empty and black save for two glowing white eyes.

Starting the next page the shopkeeper recoils in surprise, his thought bubble reading: “A litch!” In the foreground, Barry and the twins are starting to leave, Taako dropping the coins Barry had paid for the book with into a small bag.

Next the shopkeeper lunges forwards with urgency, shouting “WAIT!”

Next, “Who are you?!” he shouts at the trio. Barry is looking over his shoulder at the shopkeeper, and Lup had put her arm over his shoulder.

Next is a very close shot of the bottom of Barry’s face, his mouth in a null position.

Next is the same close up shot of the bottom of Barry’s face, only this time he has a large sly smile on his face.

Next is a medium shot of Barry, he has a big gentle smile on his face, his eyes closed and one hand up in a polite wave as he says “Name’s Barry Bluejeans!”

In the final panel, the shopkeeper lays passed out over his desk, a small cartoon of a round ghost floating away from his body as the door in the back of the room closes. A small creature sits on his desk, eating the chocolate gelt which had been swapped out for the real coins.

Canon pride ask game SO mean my kinlist is so small in about 20 characters i have 2.

-John Constantine (DC comics) / Bisexual

-Taako (TAZ:B) / MLM

If willing to throw a kinsider in the ring:

-Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium) "part of the homo-sexual underground"

Though i do genuinely believe in every single canon ive had i was bisexual. Like i can't imagine not being bisexual, i think it's something very intrinsic to me. I also have a lot of canon "women" who i was definitely a trans man as. I think no matter what i default to boy-adjacent bi.

writer check-in question set

tagged by @ungarmax <3 <3 <3

tagging: @jeejyboard @dogcopter @theknightofroses @kirric-the-fan @runrundoyourstuff aaaand whoever else wants to consider yourself tagged!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

76

2. What is your total AO3 word count?

280344!

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Including crossovers:

Hoo boy okay, 14 total I think: Steven Universe, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Adventure Zone (Balance), Merlin, InuYasha, BBC Sherlock / Sherlock Holmes, Ouran Host Club, Tenchi Muyo, Yuri!!! on Ice, DC comics, The Last Unicorn, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Soul Eater

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Rare Ungovernable Element (Merlin, 5078 kudos wtf)

Getting to Feel Free and Easy (YOI, 692 kudos)

It's Not a Competition (Merlin, 688 kudos)

The Longest Night (Merlin, 514 kudos)

Fission (TAZ, 437 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I do! At the risk of sounding like "i'm old it was a different time," some of my most formative fic writing years were on Livejournal where the comment culture was really a back and forth, so when I was learning how to write fic in a community that's what I learned. Even if it's just a thank you or a heart or something, I like to reply to comments, it gives me a little buzz of interaction joy or something.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

That's hard! I write a good bit of angst but I usually end things on a high note. Maybe it's a toss-up between The House in the Woods and For this reason the sadness too passes? Though actually I think the winner would be an FMA fic I don't have on AO3 anymore.

7. Do you ever write crossovers?

Yeah! Or, I've written fusions, which I tend to like better than a traditional crossover. I don't do them often but I always enjoy them!

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Just a little, mostly people are lovely.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Definitely! I'm not sure how to answer what kind, I've written a lot of different kinds I guess.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of? I've never thought about it much or looked, but it seems fairly unlikely.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah!! Always a blast!

12. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

It's hard to pick a top ship from every ship I've been into, and also I'm not really a shipper first and foremost, so... I'll give it to BisVolleyPearl, because that's what I'm into right now.

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The OG cartoon and the first movie, I was 8.

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

This is even more impossible to choose than favorite ship!! If you're reading this and you have an opinion let me know.

15. BONUS QUESTION: Do you have a WIP that haunts you?

I wouldn't say it haunts me, but I started a TAZ:B fic that I keep thinking about and hope to get back to someday. If the animated show ever happens, that may be enough to tip me back into TAZ writing energy!

#writing meme #fic meme #my fanfiction

[marypsue]

my whole entire brain is just that one TAZ:B comic where Merle asks Taako if he wants to talk about his feelings and Magnus pops in like "I want to talk about my feelings!" "I know, Magnus" "I'm sad!" "I know, Magnus"

#i don't know if that comic was like a non-fandom thing first and somebody redid it for TAZ or what but that's how I know it #for anyone who might be wondering I'm merle in this scenario

[dripneon2]

i wish i had someone i could get into taz:b for me so i can go through it again and experience it with them bc UGH its just so beautiful it really is. the boys put so much work into it. so much love. its truly a beautiful work of art and it deserves to be recreated in as many other mediums. it absolutely deserves the comics, the animated show, and so much more. ugghhh its truly just such a beautiful thing to exist. the mcelroys are wonderful
