Ayyy, whassah, doo'? 😛

I'm Taboo, or Tabby! I'm an amateur artist and marine science major.

At the moment, my blog mostly revolves around the games Still Wakes the Deep, The Amazing Digital Circus, and the upcoming game, Militsioner, by Tallboys. I'm also a nut for sfw G/T, original characters, speculative biology, and world building!

Tags: #the guy who didn't like the amazing digital circus - various crossovers between The Amazing Digital Circus and the Hatchetfield Trilogy #rig rat au - my Still Wakes the Deep g/t au about a borrower onboard the Beira D! #support ship au - a Still Wakes the Deep au where the support ships were able to come in before too much damage struck the rig, and both scientists and researchers begin studying the infected crew and the Shape itself #garten wakes the banban - yet another Still Wakes the Deep au, this time by blending it with Garten of Banban #militsioner yankee - my original character insert for Militsioner #amanda's amazing digital adventure - Amanda the Adventurer and The Amazing Digital Circus crossover

This has been a WIP since the beginning of December, but I don't want to forget about this personification design I was cooking up for my OCD.

I really wanted to use the nervous system as a base character design, but color-picked from Man-O'-War Jellyfish! I also wanted to blend the designs of nature and machine, so that when the OCD "flares up" and I start spiraling, my brain becomes a CPU while trying to unravel a nonsensical meltdown and the tendrils become circuits that fire commands throughout the body.

But after quitting Wellbutrin recently those symptoms have drastically diminished, almost like magic! It's insane what weird little chemicals in our brains can do to the rest of us.

Also I WISH that I had watched The Amazing Digital Circus back then 'cause I could've used Gangle as a ref. Darn!

i am sending a bunch of my moots asks cuz im bored...

GIRL. Girl. Don't even joke, lad. Hands-down favorite out of all the Hatchetverse gotta be ✨Ted Spankoffski✨ but OH MY GOSH there are so many other good characters!!!

The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Paul Matthews (but someone buy her brown eye contacts I'm shaking)

Black Friday: General John MacNamara

Nerdy Prudes Must Die: Grace Chastity

Nightmare Time: Ted "Time Bastard" Spankoffski

And my favorite Lord in Black is Poky!

Okay I talked about this in the tags of another post, but people who followed me for Stranger Things, I IMPLORE you to watch Team Starkid’s Hatchetfield series. It’s a series of interconnected musicals (and two seasons of a web series and a short film, if you really want to get into the lore) that takes place in a small Michigan town where evil eldritch creatures haunt the citizens (sound familiar?).

Hatchetfield has everything! Such as:

  • Alternate dimensions! (That the government is secretly involved in) (and the Russian government too apparently?)
  • Children with mind powers! (Bonus points for one of them being a girl who’s semi-verbal)
  • Evil creatures!
  • Small American town vibes 💖
  • A mall!
  • High schoolers who have very normal teenage lives outside of the monsters!
  • A Dad with trauma from a sudden loss that he blames himself for and his time in the military!
  • An parentified older sibling who steps up in place of their abusive, alcoholic parent!
  • High school almost-sweethearts who reconnected after the woman in the pairing got out of her abusive marriage!
  • Weaponized Christianity!
  • Evil jocks!
  • Nerd x cool girl pairing!
  • Doomed Yuri!
  • Girls with guns!

And I’m probably missing some!

The tone is much different than ST (dark, mature humor), and as previously mentioned, they are musicals, but there are quite a few parallels, and I love an excuse to promote Team Starkid. They also have lots of other works outside of the Hatchetfield universe, and everything is free to watch on YouTube :)

Not to mention expeditions into evil dimensions!

Rag-tag protagonist group of nerds!

Trio of cops investigate the recent disappearance of a high school boy.

Them.

The Hatchetfield Trilogy is as if Stranger Things and Gravity Falls did a fusion dance and became a beautiful, fucked up series of horror-comedy musicals and I love it.

Comfort oneshot where Caine cuddles a crying circus member. He then remembers some of Gangle's art (giant/tiny art), he wonders if that being their dynamic is what will soothe them.

Tags: Fluff, hurt/comfort, mention of a main cast member abstracting, Giant/tiny

Caine is ooc, this is a self indulgent oneshot 🥲.
