Belated Christmas/Birthday Gifts.

A delayed post for @lindseynicole1999, who celebrated her birthday on Boxing Day. She has seen these gifts privately before New Year, but I did promise that I would post them here.

Christmas Gift: Top Hat and Wendy (her OC Warrior x Top Hat fankid)

Designs belong to @lindseynicole1999

Birthday Gift: Teenage Poppy (my Zipcents fankid) as Pomni and Teenage Little Toot as Caine

Little Toot Design is @lindseynicole1999 's. Poppy is my fankid, but LN is a creative godparent to her as she has fleshed her out with me. Costumes are inspired by Pomni and Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus, a show (and a pairing) that she loves.

Together, Never Ever Alone Again

A small lookout a few minute sail from the port was where Zip anxiously found himself. He needed a walk, the yelling, constant belittlement, the jokes at his own expense was too much but… he weighed, was this not how every work place was? It must be because he’d heard how the Starfleet got on with one another when they came face to face, cracking jokes, laughing at each other. So why did this feel different to the way his fleet treated him?

There was a telescope at the look out, you could see all of the harbor through the lens for a dime, he didn’t have a dime, he was far away staring in, it felt better then being in the midst of it all. He could see his tug where he had left it at the bottom of the mountain. It needed to be treated soon, the stack puffed harshly and the shine had left the bow. Zip huffed, dangling his legs over the cliff.

He heard the sound of a match ignite. “I thought I saw someone come this.”

Before he could fall down the cliff in fright the Starfleet’s star child grabbed hold of his hand and pulled. He fell back as Zip fell forward. “Ah, shit I’m so sorry!” Zip scrambled to his knees.

He laughed. “Not a problem mate. Say…” Ten Cents took a minute to dust himself off. “What are you doin up ‘ere anyway?”

“I uh.” He un-winced when he realized no physical assault would come from this Starman. “I come up here sometimes, when it gets too loud, or too…” he wanted to say hostile. “Too much.” He agreed on.

“Aye.” Ten Cents leaned back on his hands. “Funny, I do a similar thing. ‘Cept I usually go out past Lillie Lightship when she’s not paying attention, I like that isolation of nothing but salty water filling my nose. Captain Star would kill me if he found out, so I have Sunshine back me up when I’m gone.”

“Sunshine is that new tug right? The one from up stream?”

“Sure is! whistles when he talks, has me double checking for a new ship trying to dock. He’s come a long way only after a month, but I amount that to my excellence in training him. Everyone would agree! Maybe not Top Hat, he’s to full of himself and his neck.” He laughed.

It was nice, his laugh, Zip chuckled along. It was nice to have someone to talk to aside from having to watch what he said. Ten Cents hardly knew him, but he spoke to him with the kind of respect a person would have for their long time friend. Why would he do that? What made him want to talk to him? He’s only a burden like Zorran and Zak say, why would Ten Cents want anything to do with-.

“Hey Zedstack.” Zip blinked the black spots out of his eyes, Ten Cents was waving a hand in front of his face. “Where’d ya go?”

Zip’s mouth started moving before he could think, something about Ten Cents made him do that. “Why are you still talking to me?”

The star was taken back. “Huh?”

“I-i it’s just, no one usually want to talk to me, to have anything to do with me aside from bossing me around or telling me off, I’m not much of a conversationalist since most things I say never matter and Zug says I’m no help unless the assignment is to cause a scene. And Captain Zero doesn’t usually give me any important jobs unless the others need help so I just.” He hiccupped, “why are you talking to me like I’m a person, and not a punching bag?”

Through his own tears he could no longer see Ten Cents, nor could he see the telescope or the harbor over the water. He blinked away the tears but more fell behind them and that was embarrassing, no man cries, not if they’re real men, Ten Cents is probably looking at him like he has two heads. He pulled his hat off to cover his face looking anywhere aside the boy sat in front of him.

It wasn’t until he felt a hand gingerly touch the whited knuckles that gripped the hat did he slide the hat down until he met Ten Cents did he move. He sobbed and Ten Cents pulled him into a bear hug, he was surprised that his strength being so small was so strong. He hugged back wanting to melt into the Star’s embrace and just disappear entirely. He was shaking but all that mattered to him was the embrace. He hadn’t felt anything like this in such a long time.

“No one should ever make you feel that way Zip. You are apart of their team, every team works together and needs each part to hold them up solid.” When Ten Cents pulled back Zip was surprised at his own tears that he rubbed at with the heel of his hand. “I’m sorry they make you feel that way, mate.”

“What?!” He held onto Ten Cents shoulders, “why are you crying?”

“Because you’re crying, because that stinks, because you shouldn’t have to carry all of that with you!”

Ten Cents hugged him again, Zip settled into his grasp. He could see the harbor now, but the sun had dug its way out of the clouds. It was warm, Ten Cents was warm, his chest felt warm. He could feel Ten Cents wiggle around for his pocket in their awkward position on the ground, He pulled a dime from it.

“Hercules used to take me up here when I was little, it makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. The trips on his tug over to this island made me fall in love with the water.”

They helped each other stand.

“Want to look out with me?”

Together.

“Together?”

Ten Cents put the dime in the telescope. “We can be on top of the world together. Never alone Zip. I never want you to feel like your alone like that again.”

He took the star boys hand and they took turns staring out over the harbour. Laughing at Warrior swatting off the seagulls who took off after the garbage in Lord Stinker and enjoying the far away feeling together, not alone. Zip never wanted to feel alone.

I was wondering, if you haven't, could you share some ZipCents headcanons? If that's fine with you?

I was also wondering who Zebedee is shipped with in your AU, cause I saw a post with Zebedee wearing a shirt that said "fucked by a star" (I know it was an ask, but I'm just curious ya know?)

Hope you have a blessed day. :>

yeah man, always down for these two,,

headcanons/answer below the cut!

both of them are huge cuddlers, mostly on Zip's side.

going off the last one, Zip is the more affectionate one in terms of physical contact, like hand holding, hugs, etc.

Ten Cents is the more defensive of the two, he'll always try and be there to defend his boyf if need be.

i have no idea how to really word this properly, but if Ten Cents starts having anxiety/a panic attack/flashbacks to the Munitions incident, then Zip will definitely help him try and recover/calm down from it. he knows it affected and scarred him really badly, so he's willing to help him try and recover in a healthy way.

now as for Zebedee, he used to be with Hercules for a year and a half before they broke up, mainly because Herc was not in a good place (mentally) and seemed to be getting worse, but he's actually thankful for that because he learned how to improve so much into the man he is now. Zeb still has a very, very small crush on him but knows he's simply not interested. although they have agreed to be friends.

hope that answers your question!

What are some head cannons for Tugs and your Five Nights at Freddy's au?

I hope I'm not bothering you

You’re fine; Well here we go again!

Let’s start with TUGS:

I have mentioned in the past that the Tugs all knew the Titanic, well I don’t believe I mentioned that on the anniversary of her accident; They don’t do their work and Pay tribute.

In the show; They ended with Bigg Freeze (If going in a particular order), That was the last time any of the tugs were in Bigg City Port due to financial problems. (Before being sent to Sodor in the AU)

OJ has been protecting Zebedee from Johnny Cuba for years because OJ knew about Johnny’s Abusive Behavior.

Zak has a real habit of messing with people’s hair. Styling it; Playing with it, It doesn’t matter. He loves messing with it.

Don’t mess with OJ if you are a thief. That boy will Usain Bolt after ya and Tackle ya to the ground HARD! Even with his age; The Muthafucka DEADLY!

I have stated before that Ten Cents was adopted by Hercules after his mom’s death. Ten Cents has learned to cope with this by knowing that his family has always been there for him.

Zorran may show that he’s a big man and doesn’t care about his team; Deep down, He does care and it’s always slipping out.

Zip and Zug has Autism and it’s very far into the Sectrum. The first person to find out about it is Zorran (Who feels Hella guilty and becomes their papa)

Zak is VERY FLEXIBLE!! So flexible that he can do the girl from the Ring so well it scares Ten Cents and Sunshine.

Big Mickey almost had to explain himself to OJ and the others on what happened to him after the Munitions accident but he didn’t have to.

Now time for Five Nights at Freddy’s! Get ready; This is gonna be intense.

Toy Freddy has Welding/A Physical Scar on his Chest in the shape of an “X” due to a incident that almost left him decommissioned.

The Glamrocks have met the original Fnaf gang as well as the toys and the Sister location gang.

Withered Freddy is a Depressed Bear who only wants to be on stage again, The toys thankfully give him that chance at night.

Original Freddy is very oblivious to Toy Freddy having a crush on him (Because TF saw Freddy liking someone else and didn’t wanna embarrass himself)

Chica; Toy Chica; Nightmare Chica and Glamrock Chica are all great cooks! As well as Sisters; Including Withered Chica.

Springtrap and Toy Freddy have been a couple for a few years until the two talked because Springtrap loved Ballora (William Afton and his Wife kinda shipping idk)

Golden Freddy has been angry at Springtrap for years (Evan mad at William)

There is only other one Afton family member that is alive; Yeah, it’s not just Michael. It’s their son Bec (Bec belongs to my wife @lovedevildice4ever ; Thought it would be nice if I mentioned Bec.)

Glamrock Freddy is in a Poly relationship with Monty and Glamrock Bonnie (Who got fixed up thanks to Gregory and Bec).

Gregory knows a lot of things about Robots and about the Pizzeria because of the newspapers and because of looking at broken robotic machines.

Gregory views Glamrock Freddy as his father and he views Monty and Glam Bon as Papas.

Sundrop and Moondrop get their own separate bodies thanks to Gregory.

When Gregory chose to Stay in the Pizza plex; He was able to save Glamrock Freddy in time by getting the other Glamrock animatronics to come help.

In Fnaf 3; Bec was not happy when he realized he had to deal with his dad who was Springtrap.

There is one animatronic that Bec hates and that would be Funtime Freddy. BonBon is cool to Bec; Not Funtime Freddy.

Little Fun Fact for ya if you all haven’t noticed by now (Though some of you have but Idc I’m gonna say) But my Sona is literally Toy Freddy but Light Blue and having my kind of Hair.

any zipcents hcs???? both angsty or fluffy??

Ayyyy, You got it, Pidge!!!

💰 𝐙𝐢𝐩𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟 👻

Zip had a small crush on Ten Cents for a while, so when he returned his feelings, Zip cried from sheer joy

They descided that their relationship should stay lowkey. Not exactally because they were both boys, but because if the other Zeds discovered that they could possibly hurt TC, which is Zip's worst nightmare.

Ten Cents, however, did tell some of the other stars (specifically Sunshine and Hercules) and they were all quite supportive, but they had their doubts if it was a good idea for him to be dating someone from the rival company.

TC would die for his himbo bf an that's a FACT

He used to think Zip's... lack of intelligence was somewhat annoying, but he finds it super adorable now.

Zip still feels guilty for not helping Ten Cents when Izzy Gomez was sinking, even though TC sayed multiple times that he forgave him

Zip is somehow both muscular and skinny; Like, his arms are somewhat toned but his torso is super skinny.

TC's upper body strenth and Zip's lightness makes it a lot easier for him to lift him up (which makes Zip blush like crazy)

After they started dating, Zip kind of made the other Zeds to not tease TC as much as they usually do. Zorran and Zak didn't listen, but Zeb (and surprisingly Zug) agreed to not go overboard.

The only one of the Zeds that Zip has told about so far is Zebedee, and he promised that if Capt. Zero ever does something to him or Ten Cents, he would have to get past him too.

Zip tends to vent to Ten Cents about how hard his work is and how Capt. Zero tends to overwork him and the others, which makes TC's blood boil

He really wants Zip to join the Stars someday, but he wants to wait for the right time for that to happen.

In the meantime, he often tries convincing Capt. Starr to buy Zip, by telling him that he is a great worker, even if he is... rather slow

Being in separate fleets or not, Zip and Ten Cents love eachother with all of their hearts, and would fight for one and other.

Top 10 fav ships? TTTE and tugs?

Fuck... forgive me if I do more than 10 because I like a lot of ships. Hercules x Zebedee Ten Cents x Zip Gordon x Rebecca Zak x Nia Millie x Caitlin Victor x Luke Cranky x Carly x Big Micky Salty x Porter ...Okay that's actually less than I thought, those are all the cannon ones at least. The rest are like characters I'd wager have a crush on another, and some I want to give someone to love but can't, or I ship them but in a different relationship sense like platonically. I'm gonna say those too. Spencer x Connor (Spencer I imagine struggles with his love life, so he likes Connor but doesn't know how to go about it because he doesn't want his image ruined.) Flying Scotsman x Rebecca (After she basically made him tongue-tied he found himself very interested in her, but was shocked to see her and Gordon together. He likes Rebecca but he also likes seeing his brother happy, so he's conflicted.) Rosie x James (I see these two a lot more like siblings, hell! in my mythic AU they are siblings.) Alright, the rest are who I want to give ships to but I find that I cant. Edward (It's implied in my giant AU that he and Thomas are rather close but they still see each other as really good friends.) Diesel (I don't know who I can safely ship him with.) Diesel 10 (Same issue.) Herny (I would like to say Gordon but the thing is, Henry could be considered like a half-sibling to Gordon because he was a wack Gresley originally.) James (I want to give this guy someone to make him happy but I feel like options are limiting.) And I'd like to say a lot more characters but I've already rambled enough...

[bigg-city-riders-au]

Not really related to the AU but question. Out of the cannon tugs, who would you ship and why? And don't cop out by just saying Hercules and Lillie.

Honestly, I don't really ship, but I respect other people's ships ships. I do ship occasionally. But I do like the Ten Cents x Zip ship.

Always been a fan of two opposite sides falling in love with one another.

Is Zipcents a thing or no in your au

Hey! Thank you so much for the ask 😁👍

ZipCents is one of my favourite Tugs pairings, and the answer for my main Tugs AU is...yes and no.

Zip and Ten Cents, being close in age, were regular playmates when Zip moved to Bigg City, so they were very close before they became work rivals. By that time, the dreaded teenaged hormones kicked in, and Ten Cents caught massive feelings for Zip!

Unfortunately, while Zip cares very deeply for Ten Cents, he's 100% heterosexual and can't return the feelings the way Ten Cents hopes for.

So, in my main AU, ZipCents is a one-sided thing.

HOWEVER:

Because I warmed to the ship pretty quickly, I have a secondary AU

In this version, Zip does return Ten Cents' feelings, and they are absolutely a couple. Unfortunately, both were a little careless, and a shotgun wedding was necessary before they had their daughter, Poppy.

#also fun fact #johnny cuba is bulstrode's ex boyfriend #crow talks #small lore dump i guess

[the-starfleet]

y'all want some zipcents angst (but also slight fluff?)

no?

you're getting it anyways.

i WILL warn you guys beforehand. this has mentions of physical abuse, so if you don't like that sort of stuff, then turn back because... yeah.

Silence.

That was it. Pure silence.

Night had already fallen over the waters and the people of Bigg City Port. And the majority were asleep. The workers, ordinary citizens, the list went on.

But somewhere near the port, stood a house. Inside?

"...Tenny?"

"Mm?"

"Are you… still awake?"

"Kind of…"

"W-well…"

More silence. Then…

"I-I was wondering if… ummm…"

A small chuckle was heard and Ten Cents sat up in bed, giving him a warming smile. He was just wearing a simple white shirt and a black pair of sweatpants.

"Come on Zip, spit it out…"

Zip sighed and finally sat up, his face flushed as he looked over.

"A-alright, fine... I was wondering if you- well, I- could…"

Ten Cents' smile slowly faded, being replaced with a look of concern.

Zip only got this nervous when he was going to talk about something bad.

"C-can I stay in your boat for a while?"

"...W-why?"

"Well…"

Tears began to fall down his cheeks, and he grabbed his partner and hugged him tightly, sobbing into his shoulder.

"I-I don't want to stay with the Zeds anymore!"

He cried.

Then, the Star's eyes fell on something.

He slowly lifted up Zip's shirt to reveal his back. Covered in bad bruises, some cuts on it as well, and even a few burn marks on his arms and the sides of his torso. It hurt to see that.

Ten Cents' anger only flared up, and he gently took Zip by his sides, to which he winced, and looked right at him.

"WHO DID THIS TO YOU."

"Z-Zorran… a-and Zak…"

"I'm gonna kick them in the balls if they ever lay their dirty hands on you again!"

"N-no! I don't want you getting hurt! It's my fault, I'm not good at being a Zedstack!""

He cried, grabbing the Stars' wrists.

"Zip, I gotta do something!"

"I…"

Zip continued to cry into his chest, Ten Cents laying his hands on his back and cradled him.

"None of this is your fault. You know that right?"

The Star's voice was gentle, although the Zed continued to sob.

"Zip… I need to do something. You know it kills me to see you like this…"

"I-I know… I-I'm sorry.."

"Don't be. I'm glad you told me…"

Ten Cents gently placed a kiss on Zip's shoulder, his sobbing slowly fading.

"I… love you, Ten Cents."

"Hey… I love you more, Zip."

And with that, the Switcher cradled the other until he fell back asleep.

And sooner or later, he fell asleep too.

Got anymore stories to tell us about Herc and Zeb's past relationship? Or anymore things to share about Zip and TC?

some things, but not a lot. hope that's alright.

(just a small trigger warning: this contains alcoholism, abuse and trauma throughout the post. not a lot, but it is brought up. you've been warned.)

starting with herc and zeb in the past...

sometimes, zeb acted as a moral compass during the relationship. it was rare but sometimes he needed to keep someone he geniunely loved under control otherwise he'd do something stupid.

herc actually grew to love zeb during the relationship, so he was pretty upset when they finally broke up. not to say he never liked him, it just didn't fully click until he finally realized it.

towards the end, he really started crushing on lillie but again, was still upset. so in order to fill the gap in his heart he asked her out, she rejected him and told him that maybe if he sobered up then maybe she'd go out with him. so he did and the rest is history!

last thing: zeb still has some sort of resentment towards himself for letting herc go like that but he needed a job badly and knew that herc had to shapen up. he still has some sort of feelings towards him and although herc knows about it, he doesn't.

despite that, they're still acquainted with each other and talk on occasion.

now for the switchers!

focusing on the last thing i said, herc and zeb think it's ironically hilarious that herc's son basically ended up falling in love with zip, who zeb sees as a son in some ways.

these two are huge cuddlers it's canon

zip is more so the affectionate one when it comes to their relationship and ten cents tries to return it as much as he can.

because both of them were horribly mistreated at some point in their lives, they find solace in the fact that they both experienced some forms of abuse. they both deserve love.

(after zip joined the stars) ten cents, along with the rest of the stars helped zip adjust rather quickly to being on the star fleet. but ask any of them and they'll tell you it was tc who helped zip adjust the most.

because tc has a short fuse, zip always tries to calm him down whenever he notices he's getting angry because he's actually kind of scared of him when he's mad.

going off the last post, he also tries to help him recover from any panic attacks. he tries to help him calm down if he does experience an attack.

that's all for now,,
