When You've Started Writing A Fic.

When you've started writing a fic.

And then start making notes and drafts for an original project.

And then start writing a different fic.

You know you've done something either terribly right or devastatingly wrong. And I have yet to find out which one applies to me-

I saw someone say something about wearing Quinn's teeth like a necklace and now I can't find that post anymore ._.

Anyway, I thought about posting this on here but then changed my mind because it's sorta graphic, and up until now I've kept my blog rather safe. So I'd like to keep it that way.

But feel free to head over to Ao3 if you want to read a short about pulling Quinn's teeth! It's the first fic within the Redactedverse that I've posted, but I hope that it'll be the first of many.

I Have Too Many Headcanons That I Haven't Shared With Anyone So Tumblr, You'll Have To Deal With It. D.A.M.N. Crew Headcanons:

-Freelancer has accidentally ripped Gavin's shirt before. Twice.

-Lasko has copies of all his documents because he accidentally doodles around on them when he's lost in thought or distracted and after getting complaints from colleagues one too many times, he started making copies in case he starts drawing flowers, waves, or cats on important paperwork again.

-Gavin has a weird fascination with jelly. Especially the flavors that are somewhat transparent.

-Damien always sits in Huxley's lap when he's playing video games. Always.

-While Damien is playing video games in his lap, Huxley usually either massages his shoulders or plays with his hair. Not just because he knows that Damien likes it, but because Huxley finds physical contact with his boyfriend oddly therapeutic.

-Freelancer only uses :D :3 :/ ^^ -.- ._." ;-; ×-× >-< and -w- when they text anyone and ^^ is at the end of almost all their messages.

-Caelum always eats half of Gavin's dessert whether he likes it or not. Jelly, fruits, ice cream - Caelum is having a bite!

Recently rewatched the recent Sam/Darlin episodes (as I often do) and was scrolling through the comments when I saw someone say something along the lines of:

"I'm happy to see nobody's thirsting for Quinn in the comments. I'm glad that we, as a community, are healing."

And at that moment I realized that I am, in fact, not healing.

Sweetheart

Lovely

Sunshine

Yandere Ivan's Baby

Smartass

-Drinks iced tea warm, defeating the whole purpose of it being iced:

Warden

Asset

-Prefers hot tea:

Baabe

Starlight

Precious

Flyboi Ivan's Baby

Anton's Listener

Lasko's Water Elemental

"Why would you drink tea when [sugary, over-caffeinated thing that will one day give them diabetes] exists?":

Ollie's Babe

Freelancer

You Already Know It. We're Doing More Headcanons. I Present To You: Samuel "definitely not one of my favorites whatever would make you think that /s" Collins.

-Mans buys a two-liter carton of iced tea when he's out on a drive and gets thirsty. He drinks it straight out of the carton and Vincent hates it.

^Yes, this is partially Darlin's fault.

-He actually likes wearing plateaued boots or boots with heels. No clue why, because he doesn't really need the extra height and that type of shoe doesn't usually go with his outfits, but he seems to just enjoy wearing them.

-He tried to do gardening as a hobby once and failed miserably. He did everything right and the plants died anyway.

-Contrary to popular belief, Sam's favorite genre of music isn't country. He actually has a weird obsession with classical music and listens to a lot of rock music from around 2010.

^The weird obsession with classical music originated when Sam was in his early teens. He would put on classical music when he was stressed because it was plenty loud to block out his parents arguing/yelling as well as his own thoughts and it was calm enough to keep him from snapping and getting aggressive.

-Sam is weirdly good at shaping ice. If you hand this man a block of ice and an ice pick he can cut you a detailed flower out of it.

^Instead of doing that, though, he mainly uses this talent to make little heart- or star-shaped ice cubes for his and Darlin's drinks.

-Sam has considered a name change before, but then people started calling him "Sam" instead of "Samuel" more often and he quickly scratched that idea.
