Trigger Warning: Unlike last one, this is serious. You see, the closeted misogyny popping up here and there gets worse by enough magnitudes to warrant a trigger warning. If you’re very uncomfortable with groping, you may want to skim some sections.
Also, your humble author has an out-of-character catastrophic mental breakdown that isn’t played for laughs. If you read The Savior, you know what I’m talking about. So be wary.
Oh fuck me, no!
Beuxllon: I, the glorious and virile and all-powerful spectacular Beuxllon, heard tell that someone from the general vicinity of this place was disparaging the eternal glory that is me. Now I am traversed all of times and space and all that fuckery to kick that infidel in the face, surrender to me your infidel fool! Ooo!
*Beuxllon overtakes Hosen*
Beuxllon: Happy and glorious occasion it’s Rosfyr! I thought you were just a figment of my imagination; a very annoying figment that never allows me to indulge in the festivities of life!
Rosfyr is just my Self-Insert, I’m not actually- *Hosen is interrupted by an ebony-clad boot burying itself in his face, throwing him from his riffing chair*
Beuxllon: Nyehahahahaa *snork* Finally! Of all the faces I have acquainted with mine armor-clad footpads, your face was the face I was most desiring to kick. Granted, I could have just kicked myself to spite you, but you know it’s really fucking hard to kick yourself in the face with the base of your foot and not the- umm- you are my bitch! Grovel before me!
*Hosen rubs his nose* It’d say it’s a good thing I revised you, but no, you’re about the same. At least in-universe there are others to bring you in line.
Beuxllon: Blasphemy! I am a god, none may hinder my all powerful- power, to wreak my unholy retribution of the things upon the world that should have been mine but was not because . Now, witness the power of a fully-
*Suddenly and from behind, Abrelepine appears from the SDQF to defend Hosen, but freezes upon seeing the neon-yellow haired calamity*
-The two stop a moment as they regard eachother, before Beuxllon gives an enthusiastic wave- Hi, honey!
Abrelepine: Oh my, I didn’t realize you were coming.
*Beuxllon puts a hand of indignation over his heart* You wound me! I thought after the first fifty times we dirted the sheets, you’d pick up on the many subtle nuances of my persona.
Abrelepine: That’s hyperbole and you know it.
Beuxllon: Give it time.
Abrelepine: *scoff* Of course you’d say that.
Beuxllon: Now you’re remembering, wondrous wife of mine.
Abrelepine: Should I take a form you’re more used to while we catch up?
Beuxllon: You madden me no matter what skin you put on.
*Hosen gets back in his chair, talking over the lovers snogging in the background as he adjusts his * I guess I’ll just continue.

Hey, patrons! I’m back and ready to tackle another mini-project before moving onto something meatier. This mini-project is “Dawn By Eye” a WALL-E crossover with Fallout.
I’ll give you all a minute.
…
You all back? Good. So, for those who somehow have gone without seeing the movie, WALL-E is a Pixar movie featuring the titular character WALL-E, an automated garbage cleanup robot, and his adventures with EVE, a botanical specimen retrieval robot. The basic premise of the movie, which really doesn’t do it justice, is that at some point in the future rampant consumerism has left the world a giant garbage dump and humanity has to abandon it temporarily while everything is cleaned up. That’s where WALL-E comes into the picture. He’s the last remaining cleanup robot who is still doing his job one compacted garbage block at a time.
However, due to the extensive time he’s spent alone in autonomous mode, his programming has started to drift and he’s gone all “ghost in the machine.” He’s developed a personality as well as a huge collection of curiosities he’s found while digging through all the garbage. Eventually EVE shows up on her mission to find signs of plant life which would indicate that Earth is one again habitable.
Look, I’m not going to regurgitate the whole movie, so if you really want to know the low-down on WALL-E, just go watch it. The really important point I want to bring up here isn’t necessarily the plot of the movie anyway, but rather the way the movie is put together and presented. See, the thing that makes WALL-E so interesting is that it utilizes almost no dialogue to tell the main story, it’s almost entirely visual. Yes there is dialogue that tells the supporting story of the trash-heap that is future Earth, but the primary story of WALL-E and EVE as told from their perspective is essentially a story without any substantial dialogue.
This is one of those things that Pixar has excelled at for a long time and they have showcased through their fairly substantial library of short films. Pixar knows how to show something in the purest form. No words, no exposition, just visual storytelling. Probably their most famous example of this is the intro to UP that portrays the relationship of Carl and Ellie in an extremely powerful way.
WALL-E is that skill taken to the length of nearly an entire movie. Now, I bring this up specifically because it’s visual storytelling. Visual.
That should be a pretty hefty warning sign for most folk who are familiar with fanfiction. It would be difficult enough for a skilled veteran writer to convey a visual story with words, and here we’ve got an amateur trying to do just that. While also trying to mix in Fallout at the same time.

Happy Thanksgiving, nerds, and welcome back to Valkyrie: The Unknown Unit, by JewishPotato! Yeah, I know I’m two days late on that, but my posts go up on Saturday, what can you do? I’m your host, SC, and last time, Brian got butthurt over having a job that sees him have time to himself once in a blue moon at best, Specs and Glasses got butthurt over bad maintenance of equipment, I got butthurt over the author potentially shoving Valkyrie in the middle of King’s Row, especially with the knowledge that the team was firmly anti-Omnic, and I got butthurt again about them instead being deployed to Mexico to observe activity pertaining to Los Muertos, in defiance of the Mexcian government’s ban on Overwatch activity.
So, overall, a lot of butthurt.
Oh, and speaking of Specs, I decided since he wouldn’t shut up on the radio that he may as well get in on this riff. Besides, Bifocals was getting antsy – I don’t think she’s ever been in a riff long-term before, and two chapters without being swapped was weirding her out. Besides that, I don’t think I’ve ever riffed with just Specs and Glasses before.
Specs: You also haven’t ever done a riff with Contacts and Sportsy. Or Monocle and anybody other than me.
And those riffs will probably never happen, either, because what you’re suggesting is impossible and you know it.
