The Good Shepherd

I love the stupid interaction between all the characters and their chemistry. Skrimm acts like such a child with Jornir and its funny and sweet at the same time.

Keaton Music Typewriter, Circa 1936

The Keaton Music Typewriter, invented around 1936, revolutionized music publishing. With a specialized keyboard for musical symbols, it allowed for quick and accurate typing of sheet music. This innovation significantly sped up the production process, meeting the high demand for printed music in the 1930s.

I thought I was going to have a straightforward answer and then I realized: what even counts as "morally wrong"? And then spent the next like 15 minutes going through characters and considering if what they did could be considered morally wrong-

Anyway, with perhaps the most directly 'morally wrong' character I like the most, I think I'd go with Don Vincenzo from The Grape Depression? There's something about him that just fascinates me and I quite enjoy it. He lost his own son, decides he wants another one, basically threatens a man to make him one, and then once he actually gets the boy, he straight up sets it on fire

But at the same time he did give the family money and I don't think he was fully morally wrong? - Idk, I can't put my thoughts into words

Some honorable mentions go to James from The Unrelenting Aubergine because I don't think he's really morally wrong necessarily, but he did kind of go mad with power and completely screw over his brother's dreams by flipping the land (the farm that James knew Titch cared so much about), so who knows how far he would've gone with that. But to me he just seems kinda lonely (same with the Don above, actually) and I think that's what draws me to his character

And then Old Lady Margaery who could steal literally everything from me and I would still absolutely adore her. I don't think she's really morally wrong, though. Like, sure, she's a witch that deals drugs but like... Is that necessarily morally wrong? I don't know. She's just kind of giving people what they want? So. I don't think she counts, but I absolutely love her so much

(Quick edit, I forgot Phantom Begruvia from Phantom of Hornchurch, which I also absolutely love, but I don't really know if he's like. Morally wrong???? Like yeah, he went to Hell so I guess that's probably morally wrong. Yeah. Idk, he's cool too - I'm too lazy to add more thoughts about him now but I don't think he did much else morally wrong other than that. And maybe murdering someone???? But like. Maybe he didn't? It's never realllllly stated, so who really knows)

what's your guys' favourite morally wrong character?

ill start, my favourite character is the Father from Burglary and Bobsledding, he starts his role as very financially-starving, accidently stuttering and showing his true motivation on why he wants his boys to grow up to be bobsledders, money.

-in which Helter points out but is sadly ignored

he then ends his character in death, by revealing that he didn't do the gambling for the finance and for bringing money home to the family, he did all the gambling only for the thrill of it. the excitement of spending money.

and he dies. with no good ending or peaceful resolution. just. an absolute heartbreaking story of a bad father

Hi Tumblr, have these two Icebound fics I wrote

I always forget I can post fics onto Tumblr. Anyway, have these two (both Taishen-centric for some reason)

(Spoilers for episodes 14/15-ish of Icebound, it diverges from canon but there's still some spoilers)

Make it up to you - word count: 2,162

AO3 Summary: "Ever since he messed up only a night or so ago by not keeping an eye on that child and falling asleep when he was supposed to be on watch, Taishen was struggling to find ways to make it up to them. It weighed on the back of his mind endlessly, repeating the disappointed statements of his friends' and his own regrets.

Now, however, Taishen realized he had a decision to make, and it wasn’t a difficult one anymore (not that it would have been before). His eyes were keenly watching the action, and could tell when a magical attack was about to strike, headed right for a distracted Skrimm.

He could make up for his mistake here and now. (Even if he almost dies in the process)"

In which I felt bad for Taishen having tried his best to save this child - the one job he was given while they were gone - and then his friends return and basically tell him what a bad job he did and he just forgets that he even tried and so I wanted to do something about it.

Implied character death, but it's temporary

(Spoilers for 27/28 of Icebound, but it diverts very quickly and changes nothing)

I'll Be Fine - word count: 2,679

AO3 Summary: "It’d barely been 30 minutes since they’d come to a decision. Jornir had left with Skrimm and Queenie after seeing something in his vision that he hadn’t elaborated on. Whatever it’d been, it had urged him to join them - though he’d been insistent on Taishen and especially Barnabos staying behind. And Taishen was more than alright with that. He was no medicine man like Jornir was, but he at least wanted to stick around to make sure that Barnabos was alright."

Aka, I needed an excuse to write about Barnabos and Taishen and so I wrote this for some reason. (Featuring more unnecessary canon divergence that changes nothing and is just for plot convenience!)

I only recently beat Danganronpa for myself and decided I'd do something familiar to celebrate

Lost In Your Eyes!

Remember when I asked for sketch ideas and said I'd do THIS one (below) digitally, after I rewatch this longform? Well it's finally done, an odd balance between messy and thought-out, but I like this play quite a bit so I had fun 💕 tysm for the suggestion!!

Hope you're doing better, but if you're still looking for some good fics, here's some of my favorites from various longforms (that aren't depressing and might cheer you up- Apologies, a lot more of these were Christmas based than I realized- I was reading a lot of fics last month)

All of these come from AO3 by the way- I forgot to mention that

"Christmas Miracle" by Ailendolin (Kind of a crossover of a lot of different plays, mainly Divorces and Teddy Bears, but the second main focus is The Neighbor's Under The Bed) - You've gotta have an AO3 account to read it, and it's got a few sad moments, but I absolutely loved it. The North Pole gets a letter from Janae wishing himself and his brother a better family and they (being Snowdrop and Mr. and Mrs. Claus) try their best to oblige, with a few issues. It's a bit sad but it's got a happy enough ending if you're willing to read through it

There's a lot of Christmas related fluff ones for Inside The Mysterious Cube, so here's a quick list of a few of those that might be nice (A bit out of season, I know, but hey, they're fluffy): "The Joy of Christmas" by RiverBecca, "’Tis the Season" by drownedscribe, and "Their First Ornament" by fullsetandlots

Here's some nice Ditch/The Unrelenting Aubergine fics: "Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks" (in which Titch is out in the snow a little too long and Derek finds him) and "Roadtrip!" (in which they go on a roadtrip) both by an Anonymous user, "Movie Night" by onyxdragonfruit (short and sweet, they have a movie night), "why don't we go where the weather is warm (and we'll finally feel at home)" by seawall (I don't remember this one well, but it's short and sweet so there's that)

And here's one for Lost In Your Eyes: "I See Forever In Your Eyes" by Han_eliza123 which is about Amanda giving Tarquin an early Christmas present (again, out of season but, hey, whatever)

One for The Milkman: "tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow…" by Kilimili is currently incomplete, but I've quite enjoyed it so far which follows Jim/Mr. Steven as he joins in on Hank (Fanon name for the bartender) and Gareth's relationship. Not fluff focused, necessarily, but good vibes overall

And that's all the ones I've read that aren't angsty-

And, just cause they fit the prompt and I know them well enough, here's some of my own (Shadowclaw756) if any of them fit your fancy: "Hugs" (A Ditch fic in which Titch wants and gets some hugs from Derek), "Informal Proposal" (In which Titch decides to propose out of pretty much nowhere), and "Even the Worst Gifts are Made With Love" (Tarquin and Amanda celebrate Christmas together and give each other gifts they think aren't good enough, but they are!)

Sorry that was kind of a lot! If you need any of the links to any of these fics let me know and I can send them, I hope this helped 💜

Hi Emu, thank you for everything you do re: info on sfth and especially the fic masterlist!

I'm a bit trapped in a fog of stress at the moment, so I'm wondering if you have any fic recs for feeling better after a bad day?

(there's a pun here... Pick me ups -> fic me ups?)

- Calim :)

Hi there Calim!! :))

thank you so much for saying that I really appreciate it <33 /gen

I mostly read angst honestly so I’m not sure how much help I’ll be with fic me ups lol (I love the pun btw) but if people want to reblog this with recs/plugs for fics like this that would be awesome!! :) I also just honestly have not been able to read that many fics recently as I’ve been very busy (but I really want to!!!) We have very talented writers in this fandom :]

I hope that you’re doing okay <3333 the stress will pass one day- even if it feels like it won’t it will get better. I’m sorry I don’t have any fic recs of my own!!! Hopefully people can put some in the reblogs <33
