#I’m super rusty

[darkmuffinstudios]

Was bored and decided to create a silly little one-shot of Errormare for @inkywellcrow 🤭

Who knows, I might get more motivation to make more parts, I might not haha

Baking One-Shot (Errormare) (1.7k words)

Darkxsoulzyxcaliberx

Dream’s birthday (and by extension, Nightmare’s) was only a few days away, and the two most dastardly villains of the multiverse were in the middle of making something for it.

You see, after many decades of struggle, the two guardians grew weary of the constant back-and-forth and had since settled on a truce; No more bloodshed and no more overbearing war meetings. After so long, however, the two had long since forgotten times of peace. It was nothing more than echoes of what could have been, as well as what once was… So, as always in their relationship, Nightmare decided to be the first to extend one of many olive branches that will occur down the line.

To show a sign of good faith and to celebrate the occasion, Nightmare had his boys come up with gift ideas that they would give to his brother. The dark king had hoped that, whatever the gifts may be, that the action alone would show that he intended to support this truce and to keep friendly relations with his other half.

But asking a band of miscreants and murderers was a bad decision in hindsight, and so after many, MANY days of brainstorming, he eventually caved to Horror’s insistence on a birthday cake.

Which brings us to the present…

“Error, you’re whisking batter, not pummeling it into submission.” Nightmare scolded lightly. He wiped his hands on the apron he was wearing, trying not to get too irritated at how sloppy of a job his partner was doing.

“This is stupid.” Error grumbled.

“Error— slower, slower.”

“Don’t— !” His body locked up at Nightmare’s complaining, and he drastically slowed down his pace to a glaringly slow tempo. He gave Nightmare a frustrated look, to which the king easily brushed off. “Don’t tell me what to do. I read the recipe too.”

“Uh huh.” Nightmare deadpanned, setting a metal tray on the counter. “You're also as blind as a bat without your glasses, my dear.”

“They would have just got in the way.” Error huffed. After a few more mixes, he decided that surely was enough of that, and he dropped the bowl into the counter with a loud CLANK. “There. Done mixing.”

Nightmare rubbed his temples. What was that method of reducing stress? Counting back from five? Whatever it was, it surely wasn’t working as well as he had hoped. “Please don’t slam the bowl down.”

“Mmhm.” Error leaned against the counter, dismissive.

For his own mental (and Error’s physical) wellbeing, Nightmare opted to ignore him for a little while. Once he sprayed down the baking pan, he glanced over Error’s work. There was still some dry clumps of the batter mix floating around, but he wasn’t going to correct any of it since he knows how much his partner loves to throw his tantrums. Besides, Dream has been a pain in his ass for decades— the least he can do is crunch on some raw flour to save him from future headaches.

Carefully, he lifted the bowl and poured the mixture into the baking tin. Using a tentacle, he grabbed a spatula he set out beforehand to scrape any excess, and quietly put the bowl down. He gave Error a mild look.

Error met his gaze and paused, looking to either side of himself. “… What?”

“That’s how you put a bowl down. Silently.” Nightmare said, his voice dripping honey and tar.

“Oh, fuck you.” Error griped, rolling his eyes so over dramatically that his head went with it. Nightmare couldn’t help but smile at how stupid he could be.

After making his point, he walked over to the oven with the pan. After opening it with a tentacle (fashioned with a cute little baking mitten), he placed the pan inside and shut it with his hip. Making note of the time, he finally allowed himself to slump against the counter.

Nightmare looked up at the ceiling. How the hell does Horror do this every single day? Willingly?? He couldn’t even imagine how difficult it would be to order his men around such a small space, never mind how destructive all of them already are. Just the thought started to give him a headache…

“So,” Error started. “Why didn’t you ask your uh…” He thought for a moment, his body glitching a little from the effort.

“Horror?” Nightmare offered.

“Yeah— the big, freaky guy— to do this for you? Doesn’t he do this stuff already?”

Nightmare sighed. “… Well… Monster food is magic—”

“Uh. Yeah— I know.”

“I know that you know—“

“Then why say it—?”

Nightmare turned and glared at him. “Just let me talk!” Error held up his hands defensively, glaring right back at him for a moment, before Nightmare eventually continued.

“Well, because monster food is made of magic, then cooking monster food involves magic too. It incorporates the chef’s intent, and can communicate unspoken feelings through each bite.” Nightmare idly messed with one of the spoons on the counter, staring at the oven glass as he spoke. “To put it simply, it has to be made by me. I may not be the best at baking, but he will understand and appreciate the gesture anyways. He is that kind of guy, unfortunately.” He scoffed.

“So why drag me into this?” Error groused. “I couldn’t care less about making ‘Mr.Sunshine’ feel any better than he already feels.”

“Oh.” Nightmare turned to flash a smug look at Error. “Because I didn’t want to suffer alone.”

Error stared at Nightmare. For a long, long moment. A quiet, high-pitched sound began to come from Error’s body— the telltale sign that he was starting to crash. “You’re joking.”

Nightmare shrugged. “Am I?”

Error grabbed the whisk from the counter, chucking it with all his strength at Nightmare. “YOU ASS!! I COULD HAVE LEFT AT ANY TIME?!?”

The king chuckled, letting the whisk hit his shoulder. “Of course you could have. You weren’t obligated to do any of this.”

Error threw his arms around, already hellbent on destroying the kitchen. He ripped the toaster from its electrical socket, threatening to throw it on the ground when Nightmare continued. “But you stayed because you love me.”

That got Error to freeze in place. He stared at Nightmare, bewildered for a few seconds, before slowly lowering the toaster onto the counter. “… Whatever.” He mumbled, stewing.

Nightmare smiled at Error’s obvious admission of defeat, finding himself slowly walking over to him. He stopped a good few feet away, settling on leaning against the counter once more. “You love me, and wanted to help me because you loved me.” He teased lightly.

Error bristled. “I will leave!”

“But then I’d be so sad if you did.” Nightmare touched his own chest, right over where his apple soul would be. “All alone… abandoned…”

Error huffed, crossing his arms. “Good! Feel bad!! Feel bad for tormenting me for HOURS while I slaved away in this kitchen for you!!”

“It was only an hour, dear.” Nightmare chuckled.

“NUH UH!! You’re wrong!!” Error scowled, swinging an arm out to the side and ripping a portal open to a random, unsuspecting world. He gestured wildly to the setting sun. “See!! HOURS!! It’s already growing dark!!”

Nightmare rolled his eye. “Mmhm.” He knew he wasn’t winning this fight.

Error smiled triumphantly, leaning a little closer to Nightmare. The portal fizzled next to them, disappearing soon after. “Apologize.”

Nightmare raised a metaphorical eyebrow at Error. “For what?”

“For being mean and awful and terrible!” Error demanded, counting on his fingers as he went.

Nightmare rolled his eye for the second time. “Mmmmmmno. I don’t think I will.”

Error leaned back, pouting now. “Asshole.”

Nightmare sighed. A brief moment of silence grew between them as they waited for the cake to bake before Nightmare sighed again, shoulder sagging. He looked at the clock hanging on the far wall of the kitchen, then back at the oven glass. The cake wasn’t rising at all.

“… Do you think he will like it?”

Error didn’t look at Nightmare, arms still crossed. After another beat of silence, Error’s shoulders sagged a little and he quietly responded. “What do you mean.”

Another beat of silence. Error didn’t like it. He turned back to glance at Nightmare, only to see the other have his hands folded against his chest in a sort-of self hug. His tentacles were curled inward on themselves, and Nightmare hadn’t looked up once from the oven glass.

It bugged Error. He tried again, softer. “What... do you mean by that?” Nightmare sighed again, a third time, and it was starting to get to Error. He shook his head. “No one hates chocolate cake. If I find out he does, I’m throwing him.”

“Not the cake.” Nightmare answered quietly, though he did smile a little at Error’s threat. The spectacle of the destroyer of worlds tossing his brother like a football was amusing, to say the least. He gestured vaguely, trying to find the right words. “My… message.”

“Message?” Error echoed, clearly confused.

“My intent.” Nightmare tried instead. “It’s… I want this to go well. I want this to be our first steps in making up with one another, and I tried to put as much as I could into this cake… I tried to not fill it with…” he sighed, the fourth time. “… with my lingering feelings of the past.”

Nightmare raised a hand. “I’m certain I didn’t, and I know this won’t make up for everything that has happened between us… but…” He slowly brought his hand back towards himself, back to where it was wrapped around his chest. “I don’t know… I lack the proper words at the moment.”

Not that Error needed all of the words to understand. He thought a little bit before he spoke. “That’s why you asked me to help you with this.” The dots started connecting more in his head as he turned to Nightmare. “You didn’t want to do this alone.”

Nightmare considered Error’s words. “… I suppose I didn’t.”

Error stared at Nightmare, trying to get maybe just a little bit more out of him, before turning to look back at the oven. “… I think he’ll like it.”

“You think so?” Nightmare’s voice sounded uncertain.

“Yeah.” Error shrugged. “He is that kind of guy, like you said.”

Nightmare smiled a little. “I guess you’re right.”

Steve comes home after a long day at work, ready to lie down and get something to eat. He trudges out of his car and immediately hears screaming coming from the trailer, bolts up the steps and slams the door open.

Eddie has his hanky tied around his eyes, arms flailing at absolutely nothing, screaming bloody murder. He’s ducking and weaving at some invisible force. Dustin turns to Steve, shouting over the top of Eddie who is still going

‘WERE TESTING EDDIES ECHOLOCATION. CLOSE THE DOOR, YOUR GOING TO MESS IT UP’ and Dustin punctuates his sentence by throwing a fork directly at Eddie, who is still waving his arms around like a man possessed. There’s carnage strewn all over the trailer; pillows, bags of chips, Steve thinks he sees a soup can in the corner of the room.

He just catches it in the corner of his eye as Dustin pulls out a butter knife.

‘NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT’ and tackles Dustin down from his spot standing on the couch. Eddie eventually stops screaming when he hears the thump, pulls off his makeshift blindfold and pouts ‘Steve, HOW am I supposed to by the vampire ruler of the earth if I don’t practice with my sweet skills?’ Eddie emphasises this by biting over his bottom lip to show off his fangs.

This is the third time this month Steve has come home to Eddie and Dustin ‘testing the vampirism, for science Steven!’ He doesn’t know if he can take much more. Steve stalks off to the bedroom with Dustin and Eddie trailing behind him to give a dramatic rundown of how this ‘test’ went. Yes this includes jumping on the bed and yes Steve has to hold on for dear life.

At least it’s not as bad as when they thought Eddie could fly, coming home to every pillow on the ground outside and the two boys on top of the trailer with crash helmets on is not something Steve wants a repeat of

#hewwo? is it okay if I come back? #this isn’t really anything I’m sorry I feel so rusty??? #and that I just can’t write lol what’s new I shit post #but yeah I’m just going to shuffle in here if that’s okay? #how are you all? #I think I’ve missed a lot of stuff… #stranger things #steddie #eddie munson #steve harrington #btw I’m sorry this is bad I’m trying to get back into it I swear #dustin and Eddie have also tried telekinesis hypnosis and super speed #results have been…inconclusive #henderdads

sorry for disappearing but i’m sooo close to finishing this jily animation 🙏 it’s literally all because of james’ hair

#i’m super rusty with animating #given that the last time i animated was in college #so despite being an animation major i have not done it in 5 years #because i HATE IT #i’m half kidding #it’s super fun and rewarding but you can probably imagine how tedious and exhausting drawing every single frame can be #but animating jily surprisingly made it enjoyable #lowkey was kicking my feet and giggling the whole time #and it made me want to do more marauder related animation #maybe i will but take that tentatively

Rinzler might have miscalculated. Badly.

He had rushed to the arcade aboard his lightjet as soon as he’d seen the Portal flare to life, intent on capturing the User who’d entered before they could slip away. He’d just missed them, and so had to resort to tracking the data left by their footsteps as they traveled deeper and deeper into the depths of the city. He didn’t know where they were heading, and quite frankly, he didn’t care. As long as he was able to intercept them before they reached the desired destination, wherever that might’ve been. He stalked silently after the trail, holding in the broken rumble from his processors as best as he could as he drew near his target. He had deviated from the path the User had left behind a few paces back, instead climbing to an overhead walkway and using the height advantage to finally, finally, set his sights on the User.

In retrospect, his haste to capture them had lead to his downfall, as he’d leaped without a second thought, tackling into the User from above and using the momentum to roughly take them to the ground, rolling end over end before he’d twisted, ending up on top as the User’s head slammed into the floor tiles, the rest of them falling still.

Rinzler sat back on his heels as he lifted the User’s head, checking along the back for any structural damages done, and was relieved to find none. No cracks or spilt voxels, but they still didn’t stir. Most programs would’ve already returned to their feet by then. With grumbled complaints, sure, but they’d have stood regardless. Where Users really built that weak? He leaned towards the User with the intent of simply tossing them in his lightjet and delivering them to the Luminary, but as he reached out to do so a half forgotten protocol in the oldest parts of his code stirred, partly blocked by patches and rewrites, telling him to wait for the User to reboot before transport. He wasn’t sure why he had the compulsion, let alone why he followed it, but he settled down to wait regardless, crouched next to the User with his one of his Discs in hand.

#asks #ic #not-that-dillinger #lmk if you want anything changed!! i’m super rusty on writing starters #for context i have a hc that tron was given first aid protocols for users which is why rinz doesn’t wanna move edward when he’s knocked out #in case it’s a concussion i wasn’t sure how to make him explain it organically

kpop is always a competition. it’s always my group is better than yours, my group sells more albums, my group has more streams, my group’s members are hotter/prettier/more talented than your group’s members. it sounds silly but it’s actually so exhausting. and if it’s exhausting for fans, imagine how hard it is for idols. i mean, some of these ppl with the biggest fandom wars are friends in real life … and while i’m sure stupid fan wars don’t hugely impact friendships, it has to have some negative effects on these people. kpop fandoms are quite polarizing and toxic, and i think it infects people’s minds and actions and forces them into these ideologies of hatred and superiority—even for members within the same fandom.

#; — shut up cass ! #excuse my rambling #i need to be off kpop stan twt STAT #it makes me want to drive a rusty nail thru my eye whenever i read skz super stans subtweeting other groups they care way too much abt #n it’s not just stays #i’m just on stay twt bc i constantly like changbin tight black shirt pics 😭😭
