the chosen aesthetics of the various redstoners fascinate me. tango and impulse are tinkerers of various mechanical marvels. doc is the industrial revolution personified. mumbo continually casts himself as a silicon valley startup guy. its just. Interesting

A little update I've been working on since Real Life dropped.

Once again, I give you... the Wheel of Life... v1.1!

Updated some symbols & changed some placements from the original, then added a few other things, partly from RL but mostly from feedback I got both here & over on Reddit. Thanks for all that! :D

See what you can spot, this time.

Thanks again to my friend @bgc-592 for being my sounding board. It's always appreciated.

FINAL ROUND

Propaganda from submitters below the cut; I will reblog any additions!

GlaDOS (Portal) -murderous ai -please don't ask me about the veracity of the cake -GLaDOS isn't just a computer she is the entirety of Aperture, she was created to contain the mind of a separate lady but seems to have her own personality, and her creators hate her and she killed them. I love her. I will forgive all her crimes. Yeah she's a bully but she's also severely hurt she can kill all she wants. (reblog link)

Data (Star Trek) -Data is a sentient synthetic life form designed in the likeness of Doctor Noonien Soong, his creator. In his growth as an individual, Data was later augmented with an emotion chip to help him better understand human behavior and increase his own humanity. -reblog link for images (1) -reblog link for images (2)

Let's see...

hit the continent running (engines were humming) - SMPEarth mixed-format fic where Emperor Philza discusses how the Antarctic Empire got where it is in the present day. Has been described as "like a wartime action novel" and is basically like if worldbuilding about Antarctic survival and fighter planes was distilled into 15k words. Probably my favorite Emerald Duo I've ever written.

rings of flowers round your eyes - Hermitcraft fic where Grian is an art thief, Scar is a magical painting, and the vault Grian just broke into has just trapped him inside with his quarry. This was an exercise in horror writing and also art descriptions and also complete failures of wine descriptions that do not at all hold up under analysis, dear god.

sunlight over me no matter what i do - Hermitcraft/Traffic Series fic where Grian decides to amputate his own wings because it's the only way to sever himself from Watcher influence. Written for Hermit Horror Week and has some POV weirdness that was super fun to write.

oxygen is getting low (one last round before we go) - Dream SMP fic where Philza, a marine biologist, is stranded in an underwater base in the Marianas Trench and waiting to run out of life support. This is clearly the perfect time to discover that deep sea merpeople such as Technoblade exist... especially when those merpeople can talk to you in your dreams. Someone in the bookmarks for this one said it changed their outlook on grief/death and I hold that comment closely to this day.

will the curse be reversed if you say it backwards - Hermitcraft/Traffic series fic that is actually a recursive fanfic of @definitelynotshouting's fic lost in the dark (he's got a heavy heart), also known as Hunger AU. Grian is recovering from a near-death experience on a server that doubles as an enormous music festival, with the help of a Watcher who shares his face. Grian is having confusing encounters with possibly-hallucinatory old friends, and strangers who seem very intent on talking to him, and he thinks things would be much easier if the Watcher with him wasn't refusing to eat properly - but things are a lot more complicated than he'd like to believe they are, really. Probably my favorite recursive fic I've written: I listened to so many songs for it that I could've created a Spotify playlist about it.

I was tagged by @regicidal-optimism

In no particular order:

A World Away (A Step Apart), (14,531 words) my OW superhero/supervillain romance with identity shenanigans, a dystopian world, and in-world supervillain RPF social media posts. This one was so fun to write. I've spent a lot of time on various social medias over the years and I delved into it for the fake discourse, and some of those social media jokes are some of my favourite things I've written. Plus I got to make up two guys that I love, OW is so fun.

A Hundred Things You Have Not Dreamed Of, (27,743 words), a DSMP emduo au in a vaguely superhero au about coming back from dehumanization. This fic was the one where I had to go holy shit I really do keep writing about food as healing I need to start tagging that on my fic, but also I just had a great deal of fun delving into, on the one hand, the hurt/comfort of expecting pain and not getting it, and on the other hand, the actual legitimate joys you can find in the small good things of a life you're choosing to live, even if baldly speaking it's not a great life. Like these guys don't know how to cook, and they live in a shitty apartment, and they have minimum wage food service jobs and don't have internet, but they also have friendship and community and 3 meals a day, and a laptop that can play videos, and that can also be something to appreciate. Plus it was a really fun challenge to take characters who basically don't act like the characters at all, because of trauma, and show them gradually growing into themselves. I still love this one a lot.

three deaths, no burials, one sunrise, (804 words). Oh boy. This one. DSMP, and c!wilbur focused, and second person, and inspired by a richard silken poem and a ursula vernon speech and a post about how wilbur didn't get a grave. At this point I don't even know if that's true canon, but I love this fic for how completely it took over my brain, I sat down and wrote it in one setting. Fuckin' pulled out of me like unspooling rope hand over hand. Having complicated feelings about your death and how it was marked or unmarked by the people around you, and exploring that through video game statistics, is something that can be so personal.

The Totem Of Undying Job, (62,696 words), DSMP, the syndicate heist Las Nevadas. So oh man, this was written in the era of the prison arc and you can probably tell, but I am still proud of how much I went into existing lore for the characterizations, not to mention proud of pulling off a long-fic. I keep thinking of it and going "man I should write more prey duo", or "I should write more tntduo", or "dang, beeduo slaps", or what have you. The first full and complete novel-length thing I had written in almost a decade, and I still think it hangs together, concepted and written entirely just me with myself in a google doc. The way I approach writing is very different nowdays, but I still love this one and I'm proud of pulling it off.

And honestly there's a lot of fics jockeying for this final spot, but I will give it to Soothing Natural Energies by Rebalancing External Wealth, Today, At Rekindled Flames Marriage Therapy Conference, (4,482 words), my origins sneegza marriage fraud shenanigans heist. I wrote this one in 24 hours for an exchange, and I was absolutely digesting my own stomach with anxiety the whole time, but I got it done, and then I posted and people said it was funny! And it had good worldbuilding! They liked it! And I drank some coffee and sat down to read it and went what do you know, I also like this, I think it's funny. Sometimes when I go oh god can I actually write comedy I go back to this one and I remind myself that yes, I can feel out how punchlines work. Also that I should write more origins, it's delightful.
