The Pokémon Engineer

All or Nothing

Rating: Teen And Up

Three years have gone by since the fall of Naraku - three years since the disappearance of Kagome Higurashi, with hope for her return dwindling as the Bone Eater’s Well lies dormant. Things change for a heartsick hanyou as the magical portal suddenly reactivates, but not in connection to modern Tokyo. When strange shinobi from an unfamiliar era come through the well, Inuyasha finds himself with a new fight on his hands, and a new companion at his side. Between heated battles and new fears, will Inuyasha be able to set aside his heartache long enough to see the possibilities for happiness that now stand before him? And with the help of a powerful new ally, will Deidara be able to escape from the shadow of his own dark past? With their lives and hearts on the line, it’s all or nothing.

good morning! i found one of your InuDei comms in the wild, and it was SUCH a blast from the past i had to drop into your askbox. your InuDei fics left an incredible impression on me, such that i still think about them a whole actual decade later. crackships get left by the wayside a lot, since they aren't "serious", but they are the truest definition of Playing With Barbies and i love them. i love yours!

(my Playing With Barbies ship is Xigbar/Deidara [XigDei], which i write with my sister as a means of keeping in touch and makin' stuff together.)

anyways! your InuDei comm made me light up like the sun, so i wanted to share how much it meant and still means to me. thank you for your time and for sharing InuDei, and i hope you have a really wonderful day! take care!

Bro, you’re gonna make me cry. Waking up to this is so wonderful. Like I am so genuinely touched that there are still people out there who remember InuDei from way back in the Deviantart and FFN days. The fact that you even still think about it a decade later is just so mindblowingly sweet to me. InuDei was a crossover ship I started in high school with my best friend, and we wrote it for years before finally falling off with it in favor of other interests. I re-read our first fic back in 2021 I think and got bitten hard by the nostalgia bug and rewrote the first fic and have been working on rewriting the second (I’ve gotten myself kinda stuck on chapter 10 but I will persevere).

Crossover ships are such a special thing, I think. They really are the purest form of indulgence of the blorbos, and the more I learn about and see other people’s crossover ships, the more they really grow on me. What you and your sister have with XigDei is something so special, and you’ll treasure it for a lifetime, even if it gets dusty in a box somewhere for a little while.

I will absolutely have a wonderful day now, because this ask has really and truly made it wonderful. 💞 💞 💞

kishi-no-kaze asked:

Hi there! Sorry for the random ask, but along with that excellent fishing Deidara art you posted a while ago you mentioned art of another feral blonde guy catching a fish with his mouth? Would you happen to still have that image, just out of curiosity?

Actually yeah! He sent it to me in a tumblr message so I just had to scroll a ways to find it.

Shoutout to @nekojirou’s great art

His name is Thorfinn, but I’m not familiar with the character or the source material. And the pose was apparently based on this picture, which I also didn’t recognize. Hence why the pose I drew was slightly different.

It is entirely possible that I just live under a rock and play with my little blorbos like dolls.

So @its-just-a-phage sent me some art of a character I wasn’t familiar with catching a fish with his mouth. He thought it was my blorbo, but unfortunately not all feral blonde men are Deidara. However once the idea was planted in my mind I couldn’t NOT draw Deidara catching a fish with his mouth.

I shared the first doodle with some other friends, and @solarfox6 said I should draw him with a fish in EACH of his mouths. And like… I couldn’t NOT do that either??

I mentioned it to @pleasedontstealmysoul and SHE said “do it no balls”. And like… I couldn’t NOT include that somehow either???

So now here we are…

fuck it, I’m romanticizing underrated ao3 works now. 8,000 word fics with only 13 kudos, even after 5 months. multi-chaptered works with only 11 comments from the same 3 people and the author themself. incredibly specific works featuring OC’s mingling with canon characters that only get 5 kudos. rare-pair fics. gift works that are literally ONLY for the receiver.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but…

Sorting fics by kudos and/or hits is not always the best idea.

It’s a good start for those who are new to a fandom but sticking to this sorting criteria only results in gems getting overlooked and the constant recirculation of the same handful of stories to the detriment of newer, less popular ones that might be just as good or, dare I say, even better.

I get that all fandoms have their classics but how are new authors or authors with a smaller following supposed to get a chance if only the popular fics are brought forward and kept at the front?

Anyone wanna help a bro out?

intrulogical4wolf asked:

I'm curious if anyone's asked this question, but what made you ship them?

I know cross shipping is a thing, but what made you ship them.

Once upon a time in 2009, in the darkness of the wings backstage of a school play, two highschool best friends wrote a very silly crack fic together in a spiral notebook.

No but for real back in highschool I met my best friend when we were both extras in a school musical (and we are still best friends now 14 years later). We were both part of the weeb crowd and while we had seen each other around the same social group we hadn’t really talked or interacted much. We knew we both liked anime though, and turned out we both liked RP too, so we got a spiral notebook and started to RP together at rehearsals when we had downtime (and as chorus members there was lots of down time). The problem with this was that we didn’t actually watch the same anime. I was rabidly into Naruto Shippuden and my bestie was very into Inuyasha.

y-psigon asked:

is that the au on deviantart where merman deidara was suffocating because he can't breathe air? 😭

HFJDICTSEJHBWH YEAH THAT’S THE ONE

that drawing is 13 years old who are you and how did you find me XD

Some of that old stuff is best left buried. There should be a barrier on my Deviantart for everything made before 2022 with the long-term nuclear waste warning on it.

*slaps a holographic glitter sticker on my old DA that says “this is not a place of honor”*
