“Barnaby? Barnaby, old chap, are you with me?” 

Barnaby blinks, registering the green fingers snapping in front of his nose. He huffs a laugh and pushes Howdy’s hand away. “Yeah, yeah, I’m listenin’. You were saying?”

Howdy gives him an exasperated look, a fond look. “Thinking about running off to a farm again, were you?”

“Nah, just the clouds. They’re a lot less work.”

“Well I’d rather you didn’t. Who would I talk to during the long hours if you went and floated off?” Howdy winks before turning to his shelves, already yammering away about something or other.

Something or other that Barnaby is once again not listening to, because what was that? Barnaby quickly presses his cool paw-pads to his burning cheeks, feeling the bristling fur there. 

Has Howdy ever winked at him? Now that he’s noticed it, Barnaby can’t recall. If it’s new, then why? Why a wink of all things? What did that mean? And that look Howdy gave him… 

Barnaby adjusts his abruptly too-tight tie. It’s unusually warm in the store, isn’t it? Howdy must have forgotten to turn on the AC. 

Gosh, what is Howdy even saying? He’s still talking, but Barnaby hasn’t absorbed a word. He can’t even tell if Howdy is still speaking english. It’s all garbled.

There’s something wrong with Barnaby. He must be coming down with something… or he’s just overthinking it. Overworking the ol’ noggin. A good long nap should set him right. 

“Listen,” Barnaby interrupts, patting the counter, “I uh, I don’t know where my head’s at. I better go find it - I’ll see you later, okay?”

“Oh… alright, then,” Howdy says, a tinge of disappointment in his voice. 

Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking. Barnaby slaps that thought out of the park. He doesn’t want Howdy to be disappointed, that’s absurd. That’s something a bad friend would think. Barnaby may be many things, but a bad friend isn’t one of them.

“I’ll whip up a joke that’ll knock your socks off next time I see ya,” Barnaby promises. He smiles around the discomfort and the entirely new feeling squirming around each other in his chest. 

“Now you’ve gone and brought up my expectations,” Howdy says. He leans on the counter and grins. “Are you sure you can back up such a claim, Mr. Beagle?”

Another hot flush races under Barnaby’s fur, and to his growing mortification, his tail starts wagging at breakneck speed. He lets out an uncharacteristically nervous laugh and backs away from the counter. To both of their horror, his back hits a shelf, making it rattle and tip.

“Oh, sh-” Barnaby lunges to right it before it can topple. He whips around and laughs again. Howdy’s wide-eyed stare burns. “Sorry ‘bout that! Talk about a bulldog in a bugshop, geez.”

“When you find your head, make sure to screw it on nice and tight,” Howdy says, a strange look on his face to match his tone. “And check your temperature while you’re at it - it’s not like you to be off-balance.”

“I wouldn’t say I’m off-balance,” Barnaby says. He inches towards the door, willing his stupid tail to calm down. “I just have ears instead of rearview mirrors.”

“Uh-huh…” Howdy slides to the side, trying to peer around him. 

Barnaby fumbles for the door. The scrape and bang of his search for the handle echoes in the quiet store. One of Howdy’s eyebrows creeps higher the longer Barnaby stands there, making a complete fool of himself. 

Finally, the door clicks, and Barnaby nearly tumbles over backwards in his haste to get out. He stumbles down the steps and briskly walks away, adjusting his hat and tie. As soon as he’s out of sight, he slaps his paws to his face and sags against the bodega.

“Idiot,” he hisses to himself. He presses his back flat against the wall and slams the side of his fist against it. Normally, Barnaby would use a situation like this to his advantage. But Howdy wasn’t laughing, and Barnaby wasn’t being funny. “Bulldog in a - gah, idiot!”

Great. Now Howdy thinks he’s not only a clumsy oaf, but that he’s losing his touch too.

Barnaby growls in frustration, pushing off the wall and stomping away from the plaza on all fours. What does he care what Howdy thinks of him? Others’ opinions of Barnaby have never been anywhere near his list of top priorities - barring Wally’s, of course. If they were, he'd never tell another joke again.

Yes, Howdy is a good friend of Barnaby’s. A close friend, even. But since when has he had such a - such an effect? Barnaby shakes his head, growling again. 

There was no effect. Barnaby is just going insane. Or he’s getting sick, like Howdy implied. That would explain the sudden hot flash, the loss of typically impeccable coordination, and, oh yeah! Barnaby’s brain leaking out of his ears.  

#context from My Brain: #barnaby's chatting with howdy as usual and howdy does Something endearing #or was it like... idk one of his personality quirks pops up #& barnabys like 'aw hes doing The Thing. its one of the things i love about him' #and obviously has a moment of 'whoah wait Love?? haha where the fuck did that come from. whatever *proceeds to panic*' #essentially: the first domino falls #laughingstock #aaaaand not tagging as anything else #if people see it they see it #i havent posted Any of my recent (and rare) writings so this is slightly mortifying! #its been too long since ive posted fic i need to buckle down on my wips #not this one obvs since its not even really a wip #just a tidbit for future me to edit and implement #my dc wips... who i still want to continue & finish so so badly... #the mermay timber one... the timkon cannibalism... cowboy hat rule... and many more... #anyhow i can feel my writing confidence atrophying #i glance at one of my wips and my entire brain recoils like its the worst thing since (insert bad thing here) #shaking myself by the shoulders 'Its Not That Bad You Are A Decent Writer Whose Fics Are More Often Than Not Well Received' #my brain is trying to convince me everything is terrible i need to forcibly shut it the hell up

Over The Garden Wall but instead of Wirt and Greg it's Grant and Paeden that's it that's all I needed to say thank you

#dndads #I don't how much of the dndads fandom has seen otgw- but if you haven't I'm making you #it's one of those shows that pulls you in and you come out different y'know- it shifts your soul slightly to the left #also Grant and Paeden being kind of like brothers is an idea I rotate around a good deal I just think they could be very funny #so ok ok I think Sarah would be Terry? Could also be Yeet cause of the athletic shit but she's much more like Terry methinks #and Grant/Terry pretty cute but I think that's an especially good context for them #WALTER IS GREG'S (so Paeden's) FROG #the president yeah you know the one #Beatrice is tricky cause I could easily see her as either of the twins #but lowkey also Nick? but I guess she should be one of the oak boys cause well #birds #BUT THEN SEPERATELY LIKE #ah I suppose it would be weird to have some of the kiddads be kids and some be older (?) but nevertheless #I couldn't help but think that (adult) Lark would make a GREAT woodsman #and like he thinks that it's Sparrow's soul in the lantern #AND BEAR'RY WOULD MAKE FOR SUCH A GOOD BEAST #people need to draw him with the branch antlers they do they do #also I can't for the life of me remember the horse's name #but that's so Ron like it has to be #for all I know like none of you have seen this show but this is so real in my head I had to talk about it #otgw #grant wilson #paeden bennetts

My new favorite activity is scrolling through the black sails tag and commenting my interpretations on random people’s posts and they’re like “wtf are you talking about?” and i’m like 👍🏻

#they’re not actually like that - the last person was nice about it #i just like to provide context when people are asking for it :)) #i didn’t take hundreds of pages of notes through two full rewatches for nothing #and like. i’m bored lol #i still wanna talk about the show #but i don’t currently have time for a rewatch so i don’t have anything new to say #frankly i think my opinions would be a lot more interesting now that i’m older and SLIGHTLY more well-read #not significantly or anything but like. A little bit #with everyone so excited and planning rewatches i’m kinda like. hmmmm… maybe… #when do i have time? completely unclear #but the idea is nice #i wanna read a lot and watch a lot of new to me films #but perhaps another bonus activity for when i’m recovering from top surgery… #something to consider…

Miles being asked about TLSP in interviews: overdone. Kind of sad & frustrating. Unoriginal. Often bordering on disrespectful.

Alex being asked about TLSP in interviews: innovative. Barely done. Has great potential.

I DARE these interviewers to flip their approach. Come on cowards, go ask Alex about Miles this time.

[tags go into ~nuances~]

#listen - it all depends on the context #all these artists deserve for the interviews to first and foremost focus on the work theyvare currently releasing and promoting #and then when it gets to the 'questions for funsies' segment - go off. Ask em about other things. Like their other projects #BUT #Keep a good balance #and dont go only quoting that 1question all over your social media for the following week when the interviewed person came in for smth else #also #- this applies more generally to interviews too- #if they've recently alrewdy been asked that question in another interview.... just don't ask it again? #oh boy do I hate when these interviews are all just basically the same thing asked over and over #sure - there's basics that ate bound to repeat. but do you research and think of something original! #/ #another thing #I find it slightly more acceptable to potentially 'pester' Alex with TLSP/ Miles questions #because of the power/ audience / recognizability dynamics #and if you don't understand that.... well I don't feel like explaining. Seems pretty obvious to me #would also be mad if someone obviously only focused on tlsp questions for Alex when The Car first csme out - and ignored that release #but generally there's just more space there - I believe - to discuss tlsp for a little longer #Alex never been reduced to ONLY that one project like Miles is often being #// also yes: disclaimer. I dont really hide the fact that I do love when I get to hear Miles mention Al. #but just... #balance. We need balance #it needs to be done in moderetion okay? #and there's a time and space for it too. #it was fine for 1 quick question in an interview after a long-ish hiatus. And with TAOTU turning 15. now hopefully other's let it go #PHEW #I have sooo much to say about this #but that's enough tags for now #// #my posts

[seafleece]

right now i’m running a game (mostly) about summoning vecna and what that actually means and well. everyone’s mad at you for wanting to erase yourself from the collective memory of the material plane until a dog girl you’ve never met kills a reality-warping ghost and suddenly you’re size category small

#please ignore everything abt this i can’t draw right now #anyway slightly more context is that #it was one of four allips and upon hearing its secret something you believe about vecna fundamentally changed #to make it harder to find him #only kairii said that vecna is big #so. well. he’s not big anymore #i’ve made this exact joke like three times but #flecna is my game where anything can happen #but that also means. anything can happen #anyway rn they’re focusing on trying to get strong enough to fight orcus who is vecna’s ex and also the demon prince of undeath #and knowing how well everything else in this game has gone #that should go fine #in the meantime on the far realm vecna is halfway through the century long casting of vanish #and now has to reach everything in his cabinets via stepladder #my art #vecna #flecna #don’t think i’ve posted anything else from this game #it sure is something #dnd #dnd 5e #can you tell i want people to ask me abt this game

More fics should have Vulcans thinking that human kissing is kind of gross but slowly getting a little into it while still also thinking it’s weird and gross. You get me?

#and whenever I say 'vulcans' in posts like these I'm doing it for you the viewer's sake bc I do mean Tuvok and I think you know that #but just in case this interests anyone else you don't have to try to peel him off every one of my posts bc he's all I think about HEHHEE #Real Post: Chakotay or Neelix kissing Tuvok on the mouth - possibly with tongue - and Tuvok being slightly overstimulated by it #the weird wet texture - the rough or slimy tongue - the heat - and he can feel his partner's arousal though he isn't really experiencing any #of his own (yet) and because they're in so intimate a position he can also hear their thoughts through his telepathy #and it's just a lot and he doesn't know how to feel about it bc he's never kissed anyone like that before outside of pon farr so it feels #inappropriately heated to be doing outside of that context but after awhile.....well. it becomes more enjoyable. let's say that. #I like thinking about Humans As Aliens. To Tuvok this Alien is doing a weird Alien thing that means affection and it's WEIRD................ #..........but also (eyes)

rats you've thwarted my angst attempt

okay how about... shatter

Rusl felt the emptiness in his bed where Uli should’ve been when he woke up. He stared at the spot for a long moment, almost resigning to going back to sleep, knowing she’ll return at some point. But his attempt at sleep was short lived when he heard glass shattering, followed by a scream.

#asks #this one is messy #also I’m sorry I’m changing the words slightly #but it’s shattering instead of shatter like WHATS THE DIFFERENCE minus context and past present verb bs or whatever #love at twilight #they’re fine #here’s one more angsty for ya #well… sort of

The funny thing about trying to think about an Undertale Omori AU is that ANYONE heavily involved with Hitori could be either Basil OR Mari and it would work.

#hooo this one is spoilerrific !! #hatoful boyfriend spoilers #omori spoilers #Anyway. Just been thinking about it #Specifically how like plotline wise Nageki SHOULD by all rights be Mari in a Hatoful Omori AU #But he would make SUCH a good Basil it's insane #I just want to draw them as eachother !! #Including like. Shadow Nageki and STRANGER Basil #I could make like. a series of slightly esoteric Spoiler-y images that if you've seen either game will instantly obliterate the other one #Nageki and Hitori Final Duet is something I've wanted to do for forever #But there's other much more vague but INTENSELY SPOILERED things I could do #Yuuya standing at the top of a flight of stairs looking horrified #Shadow Nageki as any of the Phobias/STRANGER #The King also #I have had a mental image of drawing The King as any/all of the Phobias for FOREVER now #It fits SO WELL #Nageki and Basil sharing the same aesthetic and then both having a dark Shadow!self that lives in someone's head makes me go insane #I feel like there is more esoteric only-a-spoiler-in-context type things that I could do with this #I think it has great potential. I just need to organize my thoughts on the matter a little better

#u kno what i dont like? when i talk abt doing something completely bananas that i would absolutely do if i was even a little less socially #conscious and then whoever im talking to is like lol do it #idk maybe im just slightly distorted abt it but i have a compulsive need to do what ppl tell me to and i kno ppl would think i was real #weirf for doing the things so im just like. r u making fun of me? bc truely i cannot tell #like i dont have a good grasp on how well i read ppl. sometimes i think im ok at it. like i can deduce things from context clues #but if someone is not being clean then its fucking way over my head but idk sometimes i cant tell if im being made fun of #like u kno when u make someone laugh and ur like well i wasnt really trying to b funny. i was just saying whats in my head #so was that nervous laughter bc i said something kinda off the walls or was it laughter at my expense #again im probably just distortion bc my sister used to publicly call it out whenever i was being weird but idk #i just wish ppl said what they thought more. like dont say one thing to my face and then later text me something that indicates u were #thinking something entirely different in the moment. bc that's disorienting and it makes me think i can't trust my reading of ppl #i mean. it doesnt help that i dont look ppl in the face lol but whatever #i should sleep. i have jury duty tomorrow and i pray that i am not selected. tho it would force me to have a day off #bc im fucked up like that. no fun allowed. only work. and not enough sleep :-P #idk why im even thinking this? #i guess bc i was helping one of my lab mates with coding stuff and like idk ive spent way too long around him and i still dont #kno whats going on in his head. like idk hes not too bad but he also is very quick to jump on it when i do something wrong #like when i make a lil mistake i mean. and i think its in a teasing way but idk it feels weird. like he thinks hes caught me fucking up #and im like ...yea? i mean yea that was a dumb thing i did. or like yeah i cant spell or remember plant codes? idk maybe he just thinks #its funny. it doesnt upset me or anything. i just think its kinda weird and i dont get it so it puts me on edge #idk he says things sometimes and im like... ok ur star war5 options make me nervous abt the general opinions u hold but i dont kno how to #manipulate u into a revealing conversation. idk his not that bad just puts me on edge a lil and i have to b around him a lot so i sit here #man wtf is his deal? let me psychoanalyze u #unrelated

current transcript site thoughts

-don’t think I’m gonna have much patience for formatting, so it’ll probably be extremely plain

-and by that I mean every page gets the basic top navigational bar to get to the pages of the big organizational categories (geographical, character, quests, everything, misc). maybe something else if I’m feeling fancy

-probably gonna steal the wiki’s idea for organizing quests (in order of when you first get them) and characters (geographically, although I might do something separate for ones that move around a lot)

#geographical npcs for sure though because that makes dealing with the unnamed ones /slightly/ less of a hassle #probably just do unnamed [species] or any significant appearance descriptor and a picture of them #was already thinking of doing an image for each char because I sure wouldn't know most of them otherwise #as usual if anyone has thoughts or input feel free to chime in #or if you have priority npcs for when I get to trying to figure out that layout. lol. #thinking of doing all their dialogue with context and then a tab for any spies associated with the #at first i was thinking any dialogue referring to them but that's much more abstract and complicated so maybe a future project but not now #also realizing I'm definitely going to overtake the letsplay I've been using for my initial sweep through :/ #(again) #oh well it was convenient while it lasts #an aquila original #more like aquila makes an easily readable textdump transcript of the bug game

[hollypunkers]

I have now twice started a long long fic with an amazing plot/premise and stellar writing only for it to devolve, for no goddamn reason, into a 100,000 word ‘interlude’ where the main character gets hyper-omniscient therapy that somehow fixes everything and nothing matters anymore

#hollypunkerspost #i am now going to avoid ‘fix it’ on fics forever #stop fixing canon. make it worse. where is the drama?? where is the plot?! #instead of therapy have your mc do drugs and run into a wall to avoid his problems #rant #also you cant turn real historical figures into aliens without warning that was insane #99% of characters are not gunna do therapy or do it well #what happened to the: therapist told me something that was slightly off because i didnt give them the full context #and now i blame my therapist instead of my mistakes #why is it just ‘they go to therapy’ and suddenly there is NO MORE of that cool plot #and every character who is slightly older is suddenly wise and knows the context for everything everyone does #are these fucking omniscient therapists telling everyone what is happening? #omniscient therapists ruining everything damn #WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TWICE #i am just so personally annoyed

Last Line WIP Game

Thanks for the tag, @wyvernquill !! (That Passing Stranger snippet made me cheer and punch the air, Soulmates Death is finally setting him straight!!)

I’m not super committed to this one but this one’s from me trying to cross over Netflix!Lucifer & Netflix!Sandman without Dream and Lucifer starting a fight with each other cuz Ellis!Lucifer doesn’t deserve that sjdjdjdns

“I was told I might have some luck finding Lieutenant Pierce here?” Chloe glanced over. He was like a lot of the club’s patrons - skinny and goth and pale as death - but his voice cut cleanly through the music, and he sounded just this side of too-tired-for-this-shit. He must’ve already had to go through the station. Patrick’s eyes found hers and she gave him a slight nod.

Hmmmm lessee….

SASSY MEN DO IT BETTER! | TOM BLYTH

PAIRING. tom blyth x fem!actress!reader

SUMMARY. in which yours and tom’s behind the scenes gossip session goes viral and everyone’s dying to know who’s it about

AUTHOR’S NOTE. thank you to whomever requested this, nonnie i love you! this was so much fun to write and instead of Instagram posts, I decided to do tweets this time! enjoy as always and thank you for the overwhelming support on my au, it means so so much

installment of this au (recommend reading for context)

It started off innocent.

Just you and Tom in the background of a Behind The Scenes video where Rachel was currently talking about her character, Lucy Gray Baird.

You and Tom were fairly close in proximity—as you always were anyway—and you two were scrolling through your phones, showing each other funny videos or pictures of beautiful places that showed up on your feed.

That was until a message popped up from your ex, some jerk who had somehow gained a role in a movie and thought he was now some hotshot in the film industry.

“Oh seriously,” Tom mutters, watching as you tapped on the messages your ex had sent you. “He’s got to be kidding.”

Your ex had apparently “missed you greatly” and wanted to hang out so you two could catch up. He said he watched The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and was in awe of how well you acted. If he wasn’t such a toxic asshole when you two were dating, you would take it as a compliment.

“I don’t know where he has the nerve.” Tom says, giving you a disgusted look. “Like girl, please.”

“Girl please?” You say, giggling as your head fell back into his chest. “Baby, I didn’t know you said things like that.”

“There’s plenty of more where that came from,” he says, “Okay, I need to stop. What if someone on set thinks I’m crazy?”

“They already think you’re crazy.”

Tom rolls his eyes, shoving your shoulder back slightly. “You’re lucky you’re my girlfriend.”

“I think you’re more of the girlfriend in the relationship Tom,” you say, shrugging. You fail to hold in your laugh as you watch Tom’s expression turn into shock. “I’m kidding, thank you for being the best boyfriend I can ask for.”

He grumbles a sure whatever under his breath when you engulf him in a tight hug.

“You’re practically crushing my lungs.” He says a minute in, only to be responded with a roll of your eye. “But hey, I’m much better than that newbie actor ex of yours, right?”

“Is that even a question?” You say, pulling away. “He was just nonchalant and mean to me half of the time. Don’t know why I even dated him.”

Your phone goes off, another message coming from your ex. “Oh, he called you knock off Draco Malfoy, which by the way, isn’t even an insult because he doesn’t even come close to you or Draco Malfoy in terms of looks.”

Tom lets out an honest to God laugh at your commentary, shaking his head in amusement. “Yeah, but didn’t you have a huge crush on Malfoy as a kid?”

You pretend to think for a minute before nodding your head teasingly, “yeah, I guess things never change huh?”

“Okay stop, you know I’m a fake blonde.”

And the entire moment between you and Tom is captured on camera, sending your fans into a frenzy as they watched how cute you two were with each other.
