Final Moments

I've had this one sitting in docs for a good half year. The aftermath of the Spamton Neo boss fight has always interested me and I decided to expand on that.

---

He had given it all he possibly had.

Snap, pop.

So had they.

His joints wracked with exhaustion, his porcelain skin scuffed with two decades of desperation. The puppet raised his tired eyes up to his lenses, they were clouded and foggy with prints and things lost to memory. It was with a solemn sort of defeat he acknowledged the ivy wire around his body, his wrists, his willpower. 

*Footsteps struck the ground in the distant darkness.

What was once the phantom sound of a rotary phone, was now the ticking clock on an old friend’s wristwatch. He was being held ruthlessly in the hand of something fated. It smelled of dust and cobwebs, of murk and… muck. It felt hollow and dark, very dark, it has always been his only companion. Oh, how he craved company.

*There was a soft murmur of armor clinking.

His life rolled like an old film in his mind, for he had done everything he possibly could, but he was, and always would be, thrown away. He tried to deal himself another hand of cards, to barter with his sixth sense, and to argue with his aching gears and circuits. One more time, get up again. It’s all about luck, it’s all about hard work, life is a ladder you climb, he used to muse. There’s nowhere I must go but up.

*The breeze whistled something like sympathy.

The motor in his mechanical heart thumped, shook, and whirred. He smelled of burning electrical, of rust and rotted glass. He was a machine with no checklight, a walking technical malfunction, that no one bothered to help repair. Tell me, how is a broken machine to fix itself?

*The basement walls closed their eyes, and looked away.

The man reared his tired head with an ugly pop, and stared at nothing in particular. No, indeed, he needn't get back up on his feet again, if even he could. For he knew somewhere deep in his wretched gut, that if there wasn’t him to throw away, then there was no one. To try and be big when you are fated to be small, is to watch in hopeless agony as you are hammered down time and time again. He would always be Spamton G. Spamton, the email guy.

It is your fate.

A gentle smile crept onto his face, because oh but, maybe, someone valued him. Maybe, just maybe, in his last moments, he could impart what little about him was useful onto the Lightners. The only people who'd shown him kindness, with no strings attached. He inhaled a shaky breath, and looked on as his only friends walked toward him.

“It seems after all I couldn’t be more than a simple puppet.”

His voice was dry and hoarse, but soft, bracketless. There was no salesman left.

“But you three, you’re strong.”

The smell of burning wires could make a stomach ache. 

“With a power like that… Maybe you three can break your own strings.”

His jaw clacked lifelessly with each syllable. The end was nearer, nearer, yet nearer.

But even still.

“Let me be your strength.”

possessed by your own commercial? more likely than you think... 📺🩸

I know magic & tech don't often go together but I feel like the appeal of magic in the golden era of houdini and the greats was that these magicians were just using technical tricks that the general public could not comprehend at the time! stage magic was a testament to how far technology and the human mind could warp reality - and with MODERN tech, well, TV is Thee Ultimate reality bending machine.

I would Love a 60s futurism type comic with Zatanna & the scaries of emerging technology! let her exploit tech for her shows but also deal with the consequences of it on the human capacity for whimsy and magic. and then she gets so desperate to fight the declining crowd she enchants her commercial to draw people in to her shows, but oops! it's evil and has possessed her now. help this is taking a life of its own like and subscribe to this post if you would read a fic like this

[What follows is a transcript of the Dragonborn's second-most- important peace conference]

Sophrine: All right, ladies, I've called this meeting here in beautiful Blackreach because we've been having some conflicts in the Girl Squad, and I want us to handle them peacefully. Sophrine: Seriously, if I see anyone pulling out her sword, I will Fus Ro Dah you. Serana: We're really high up right now. Sophrine: Exactly. Who wants to go first?

Lydia: (raising hand) Um, I have something. Serana, before you start throwing ice spikes, can you make sure none of us are in front of you? It's hard to wield a sword with an icicle stuck in your elbow. Serana: If you and Mjoll didn't just charge in with your swords every time we see a problem, you wouldn't be getting icicles in your arm. If Soph and I can handle it from a distance with arrows and magic, you don't need to slash and smash. Sophrine: Lyd, remember the no-swords-at-meetings rule. I propose we always try to kill things from a distance first, and if that doesn't work, we slash and smash. Deal? Mjoll and Lydia: (mumbling) Deal. Sophrine: Great. Who's next? Mjoll: I'm still pretty sure that at some point, Ronnie is going to snap and drink all of our blood. Serana: If I do snap, it'll be because you tell the same 5 stories over and over, usually when we're trying to be stealthy. Mjoll: Well, excuse me for trying to entertain everyone! Serana: Not excused. Sophrine: Mother Mara, you people are worse than Tullius and Ulfric. Mjoll, we love your stories, just not when we're sneaking. Serana, don't snap and drink our blood. Anything else? Serana: Well, I would complain about how much time we spend outdoors during the day, but I know you mortal types need that so whatever. My complaint is that Sophrine's husband is still really weird around me whenever I come over, even though he knows I'm not going to kill him. Sophrine: (sighing) Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Roggi's a small-town guy and the only vampires he met before you were the really murderous ones. I'm working on him, I promise. But hey, at least the kids love you! Serana: (muttering) Kids are sticky. Sophrine: Okay, we've aired out a lot of complaints here, and I think we can figure out solutions to pretty much all of them. Now I think we should end this by saying something nice about another member of the squad. End on a high note, you know. Sophrine: I'll start. Lydia, you're amazingly organized and I appreciate that you still hang out with us even though we're ridiculous. Lydia: Um... Serana, thanks for resurrecting mudcrab zombies sometimes. It's hilarious. Serana: You're welcome. Mjoll, I really respect how you called Maven Black-Briar a bitch right to her face. I've always wanted to do that. Mjoll: Thanks. And Soph, thank you for killing Alduin and saving the universe last month. Sophrine: My pleasure. Great meeting, girls.

Thinking about the Steampunk Space Pirates AU again, specifically about where Pearl falls into all that.

Thinking about how in that AU, Pearl is the sole inhabitant of a moon rumored to be cursed. Ships that wander too close experience misfortunes from engine troubles to mutinies to space monsters attacking ships. It’s to the point where the route to that moon is essentially scrubbed off navigational equipment and voyagers are warned to steer clear.

Thinking about how Pearl only stays because she knows it’s not the moon’s fault. It’s not even the monsters’ fault. She stays because she believes she’s cursed — her orbit, the moon’s orbit, belays tragedy. Those in her presence are marked with an ill fate, and if her loneliness will prevent that, so be it.

Thinking about how she remains alone until a ship crash lands onto her moon. Pearl expects nothing of it, because why would she, until a stocky dwarf and cheerful elf come stumbling out, bringing light and laughter and things that Pearl didn’t realize she missed.

Thinking about how it’s difficult to avoid people when you’re the only ones on a fairly tiny moon, so it’s inevitable they meet each other. Even if it’s screaming in the darkness, misunderstandings abound, mistaken cries of a “moon witch” — which, to be fair, Pearl doesn’t mind the sound of — here to steal their souls. It gets sorted thanks to some quick thinking from the dwarf, a campfire, and a warm pot of soup.

Thinking about how Pearl is hesitant to introduce herself, but these two are so…so nice. They’re funny and quirky and welcome reprieve from the silence of the void. So she allows herself, just for a moment, to relax.

Thinking about how they introduce themselves as Impulse and Gem. They’re not pirates, per se, but their not innocents either. They’re running from something, even if the details aren’t forthwith, and Pearl forgives them for that. The past is a funny thing. They’re looking for something, a great ship said to be run by the greatest pirates of the stars, a vessel large enough to be a planet itself. Maybe they can make something of themselves there.

Thinking about how Pearl hesitates because it’s her fault their ship crashes, her fault they’re stuck here. But they assure her that, no, it’s a hunk of scrap metal anyways, and they’d love to have her onboard. Something about having a resident moon witch will make them more cooler.

Thinking about how Pearl looks back at the tower she’s built brick by brick on the moon, her home, her once sole companion books tucked in messy shelves. She looks back at the grinning elf with flowers in her hair and antlers emerging from her temples. She looks at the dwarf with a great bushy beard threaded with gold and redstone, the fuel of the stars.

Thinking about how, with her luck, ships crash all the time, leaving behind all sorts of useful parts.

Pearl smiles and says, “I think I can help you with that.”

warning: raihan has a scent kink (briefly mentioned, but still there) also raihan calls leon bunny. this... typed media is heavily kbdn or raihan/leon (top raihan and bottom leon) so if thats not your preference, please scroll down.

raihan LOVES buying leon lingeries.

leon thought that its bc raihan likes to see him getting fucked with it (which leon doesnt mind) but raihan actually buys it for leon because he thought leon likes to feel pretty and raihan loves seeing leon's reaction when he puts them on. leon usually do a little pose in front of the mirror or maybe a little dance when the lingerie happens to have frills.

raihan never tells leon why he loves buying it for leon, so leon keeps the assumption where raihan just like seeing leon getting fucked with it.

because of that, when leon arrives at home first, he kept his lingerie on so he can seduce raihan when his boyfriend comes home.

but for some reason, raihan rarely reacts the way leon thought he would.

raihan doesnt pin him to the wall to make out with him, or grind his hard cock to his ass, he just hugs leon, give him lots of kisses and coo at how pretty and adorable he is. leon LOVES when raihan showers him with compliments but... he thought that raihan is going to rail him??

for some reason leon needs to pout and grope raihans bulge THEN raihan will react accordingly.

yet, when leon greets raihan home with his lounge wear (which is just raihans t shirt and a pair of short shorts, or only one of either of them) raihan hugs him tightly and kisses him, touching and groping him before pressing him to the wall to make out with leon

leon is confused!! what does raihan actually like?? raihan likes him- no, love him thats for sure, but leon wonders what will turn his rairai on! so leon asked him about it

"rai, what turns you on?"

"your body odor"

"bubu, thats not helping..." leon pouts.

raihan smiles, leaning closer to his bunny to give a kiss on his forehead, "but your body odor do turns me on, thats why i love sniffing you"

"yeah i can see that ut is there anything that i can wear so itll turn you on? more specifically, something that will awaken your primal urge to breed me"

raihan stares at leon and looks away for a moment to think.

"thats a tricky question... everything you do makes me horny sometimes, but the things that you wear... usually the things i own, preferably my gym attire and my old t shirts"

"how about the lingerie? you keep buying me sets after sets!"

"if im going to be honest, that too, not all sets though. i like the ones where it shows your nipples and dick, those things really turns me on, but the others like the nightie sets... i bought them because i thought you like them? when you wear them, you get giddy and smile alot. its the cutest smile ive ever seen, yknow? plus you do a little dance infront of the mirror every time i got you a new set. so... even if it turns me on i thought you wear them because you feel good in them, not because you want me to bang you"

leon froze for a whole minute to process the things raihan said...leon got soft, raihan bought him all those sets because he thought leon feels good in them...?

he purses his lips and leans towards raihan, nuzzling his head so that raihan will hold him "i thought you keep buying me those lingeries because you like seeing me in them and it turns you on... since you never rip them apart when we have sex"

"bunny, those makes me horny too but i dont wanna ruin your moment! thats why i admire and coo at you instead, dummy. also i dont wanna rip them apart because i thought you like them, also theyre kinda expensive since its customized for you"

leon whines, raihan is too good to be true! one, raihan keeps buying them because he thought leon likes wearing them (he does) and because leon feels good in them. two, the lingerie is customized? no wonder it fits him so well! and the materials feels really soft! and finally, leon feels...something, something nice, when he founds out that raihan makes him wear this not because of sexual fantasies, but because he wants leon to feel good and pretty. not that its bad, but leon feels very reassured and loved by it.

"baby why are you pouting" raihan asked, leon huffs and burries his face on raihans chest, whimpering before saying "youre too nice!"

"whats that?"

"youre too nice"

"oh no my ears are broken, say that again"

"on second thought, youre just nice"

"youre very indecisive"

"youre a meanie!"

raihan proceed to pull leon to his lap and peppers him with ALOT of kisses, but leon still needs to make sure WHAT will make his rairai rail him until he couldnt walk. so leon gently pushes raihan away and covers his mouth with his hand

"so...what will awaken your urge to fuck me. hard"

"greet me naked"

"i mean.. i can try?"

"please. but anyways, i think what turns me on the most is when you present yourself...as just you? thats why i wanna ruin and rip you apart in your loungewear. since youre not trying to do anything or seduce me"

leon blushed, is it that noticeable?! "wh-"

"yes i realize when youre wearing a pair of lingerie, youre acting like a slut. which is very sexy, but with that cute face of yours i just cant help but to kiss you"

"oooh... that clears up so many things"

"so you got your answers, cutie?"

"yes! now let me wear your pajamas so you can fuck me in it"

and then they both go to the bedroom, raihan did not let leon wear his pajamas. because when leon got naked he grabs leon and pulls him to the bed to fuck him stupid.

thinking about that post of people assuming ao3 has an algorithm and also about how bonkers persistent the view is that ao3 is social media lite. like with startling regularity I get comments saying something along the lines of "it's probably weird to comment on a fic this old--" no it isn't!!!! this is an archive I am literally just assuming you searched for a selection of specific tags or sorted by kudos or looked back on my pseud or any other number of completely normal ways to use an archive site ?? kill the tiktok ghost in your brain and comment on old stuff it's NOT weird

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still) #(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'') #GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!! #one time i saw that a ​person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi. #they are TWIN BROTHERS. #not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this. #just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

Reblog for a larger sample size!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.

I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.
