Okay catching up on my backlog of @damadipicche's of collages! (She's kept up with my Hazbin fics, I have not managed to also keep up with her board making, oops!)
This one is for Polished Confidence!

The lovely @damadipicche's collage board for Cards Close to the Vest and Cards on the Table!
Perfectly captures Alastor's "I hate this" vibes, and we've got our Ace of Spades, Queen of Clubs, King of Hearts, and King of Diamonds!!
Title: Wilful Game Rated: M Length: ~ 2k for chapter 1 Summary: Realizing he's out of his depth emotionally after a kink session gone awry with Angel, Alastor goes to Rosie for advice. In the time it takes for Alastor to figure out what to do with what she tells him, Angel has a bit of an emotional journey of his own, as well as an interesting encounter with an unexpected VIP at work.

Me, to my mental chibi of Alastor: You told me you were going to Rosie's.
Chibi!Alastor: I did say that.
Me: And now we're at Rosie's
Chibi!Alastor: Yes we are.
Chibi!Rosie: -waves-
Me: You wanted to talk to her because you're upset.
Chibi!Alastor: Mhm!
Chibi!Alastor: And she just asked you what's wrong
Chibi!Alastor: She certainly did!
Me: So, would you please fucking TELL HER WHAT'S WRONG?
Chibi!Alastor: Hmm.... No, I don't think I will!
Me: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I managed to get the bastard to talk about his feelings
Well, I have a discord server for this now.

Title: Volition and Qualm Rated: M Length: 3k Summary:
“Are you okay?” Charlie asked gently. Angel sighed, let his shoulders droop, and ran a hand through his hair. “Physically, I’m fine. Emotionally? Mixing drugs til I forget who the fuck I am sounds great,” he made his way over to raid the bar well, “but I’ll stick with booze.” Charlie bit her lip and made a small sympathetic sound as she watched him drink straight from a bottle of vodka. “Let me know if I can help.” “Not with this, sweetcheeks,” he said softly, offering her a strained but appreciative smile. As soon as Husk was halfway in the room, still crossing towards Angel, he asked, “What’s wrong?” “We need to talk.” Angel beckoned for Husk to follow him. ~ Angel comes home from work in a rough emotional state and the process of helping him through it turns out pretty rough as well. Love really can hurt like nothing else.
Trying to tag a fic at 2 am is probably a bad idea but goddamnit I wanna post this thing
people who let me wake up to this get a special place in heaven. firefly_fox how does it feel to hold my life in ur hands....
my favorite thing about this post is that a handful of people have gone "oh wait! this is tangible proof that i don't need to be embarrassed about leaving a lot of comments!! i'll stop being so ashamed!" YES!! ao3 authors basically universally will die for people who comment spam. we love to see it and we do not find you weird or annoying At All.
think about it this way: we ourselves are weird enough to have spent several hours, days, or Months writing down this story. we are weird enough about the content to do that! why on Earth would we be mean and judgmental toward people who care enough to get excited about reading it?? we shared it Specifically For You To Get Excited About!
WE WILL WRITE FOR YOU WHEN YOU DO THIS, TOO.
Urge to podfic my Hellish Encounters series, vs the fact that I cannot fucking do either a Brooklyn or a Trans-Atlantic accent, fight!
Podfic would be amazing! I'd probably only manage the not sex scene ones but it would still be lovely.
I know "generative AI" is art theft, but what about just putting a radio filter over Alastor? It would still be distinctly him. Brooklyn accent is a harder problem to solve, Maybe someone in the fandom will come in clutch.
Yeah radio filter is easy enough but I’m an un-recovered theatre kid, I want it to be riiiight! lol
I do think I could learn a Brooklyn accent, I can sometimes manage a more general New York accent so, like, if I actually tried and practiced it would probably work out?
But I absolutely cannot do Trans-Atlantic. It doesn’t work lol. I can’t. It either goes fully British or is just nothing.
Okay, so I've thought about it...
And it's not happening right now because I still have not fully recovered from this round of bronchitis, yes I'm pissy about it
But I think what I's have to do is record in passes, one through for narration and most characters' dialogue, and at least one other pass for just Angel's dialogue. Cuz I can get into something that's passable as New York and stay in it, but I cannot switch back and forth.
(Would have to do the same with Rosie, and probably also with Cherri cuz my Australian is rough)
Damnit I have another idea
But it does not fit in the lineup until I finish other fics (the angsty one, the aro BSOD one, Paint the Town Red, and the “oh shit Al is actually scary” one)
Like those all run into each other like dominoes, it might actually only be 2 fics
But they flow directly from Wilful Game in a way I don’t want to interrupt, and enough is gonna HAPPEN in them that it really doesn’t work to post anything that’s set after them first

I don’t wanna write angst I wanna write sickfic

…you know, it occurs to me I have developed a tiny bit of a trans-Atlantic accent by virtue of, y’know, having moved across the Atlantic. At least, I’ve had a British ex tell me I did, and I can hear how my pronunciation of some words has changed. But having looked up the Trans-Atlantic Accent, apparently it’s a an accent that is ONLY consciously learned, so don’t get too excited
I totally get that about being an unrecovered theater kid. Every time I post something to Indaband I have to tell myself at some point it is Good Enough or else I will keep re-recording bits until I die
Yeah fun fact, the one time I’ve been to the UK it took me about 3 hours for my accent to get totally fucked. I was very much not trying to “do a British accent” because what kind of a dumbass tourist thing would that be, it just happened
I absorb British accents like a sponge (I blame my father’s taste in media) so when I try to bring some of those influences in to do a Trans-Atlantic it just takes over.
And yeah that’s the mood lol
