And here are Droog and Slick and some kind of crumpled DD/PI
Rachel's internet nonsense

Things you should know about me: I like to draw hugs. That does not mean I am good at them, but I like to draw them, and luckyspike wrote this fic and clearly fluff was called for.

Basically just an exercise in extremely gratuitous coatsharing for missingrache.

Fall asleep during a shootout. Droog. Sweetheart no stop that.
Also Boxcars seems especially ridiculously huge in this comic and it entertains me.

a thousand and one ways to die: [fic] Down By the River →
At this point these are more chapters than they are independent fics, and yet I will continue posting and titling them as if they are. Mobsterswiiiitch.
I still hate pretty much everything I’m producing right now, so…deal w/it I guess.

Important to me…
Okay, I’m just going to add to this here because it is exactly what hooked me on the mobsterswitch concept. Or , at least, into the serious-bsns grimdark noir end of it—I’m not sure this statement applies to the somewhat more lighthearted stuff I’ve seen from Rex and the original stuff from Spike, though I enjoy them as well. But anyway. What hooked me was this feeling of serious anxiety for Scout. When bad things happen to Spades Slick, I maybe wince for him a little, but it doesn’t really worry me—he probably brought it on himself somehow, and anyway, he owns this town and he’s got a solid Crew backing him up. The whole game is rigged in his favor. (In the context of aus like Path’s Midnight City Stories and Spike’s Stabdads, anyway! The Homestuck canon is a different can of worms which I am not going to get into right now.) He can take care of himself.If you change his coat, though, turn Slick into Scout, he’s suddenly an overworked, underpaid detective. Heck, he isn’t even running the team. Problem Sleuth gets by just fine this way, but Problem Sleuth is a charmer. He’s got a high Pulchritude stat going for him. He can tangle with Spades Slick and come out of it all right, maybe a little shabby around the edges but who’s counting. Scout is just going to take a pounding—physically, emotionally, morally—and okay, yeah, he’s essentially still Spades Slick, he can handle a lot of abuse, but it’s so much more painful to watch this way. And I like reading it, not only because I am terrible, but because it highlights that thing about Slick—how much he really does depend on the environment he’s built for himself to succeed, how connected he is to his city.
Guys I could just have conversations about Mobsterswitch and its farflung implications for days on end. Actually I have, and I feel sorry for poor Skep, who is the victim of them in real life and not actually a huge Midnight City fan at all. But auhagknkasnf everyone’s headcanons are fascinating.
Y’all can just keep on writing these mini essays and I’ll just roll gleefully around in them, aight?
Who stuck the ‘Van I hope this is ok’ tag on there? I’m guessing Path? It’s more than ok, it’s very fun and exciting to me.It was me, actually. /fesses up
A little while back there was a kerfluffle going on somewhere (I forget where, or who brought it up) about not using comments on other people’s art to soapbox your own opinons and headcanons. And now I’m very self conscious about doing this stuff in public instead of just telling you offline, even though I think that’s kind of what fandom is for, ideally—for swapping ideas around and talking about things, with art and writing acting as a sort of springboard for discussion. And I’d guess you’re of a similar mind but you weren’t available to text yet and I wanted to be sure.
lol I used my deductive reasoning and everything!
“Rachel would use my real name”
“Surely Rachel wouldn’t even feel the need to ask”
Of course it’s ok with me, I watch my reblogs specifically in the hopes that discussions like this will happen, and then feel presumptuous for thinking they might. And then one does, I’m pretty gleeful.Sorry Path, haha.
*salutes* I will tag with your real name in the future so as not to throw you off the scent. And it’s a relief to hear regardless.
