For@burningcowboyhoagietaco who asked about my work in progress file: The Games. (See pinned post @cg29 to see other file names & ask questions)
Concept: An alternative universe. Thunderbirds Are Go mixed with the concept of the Hunger Games. However only Thunderbirds characters will be making an appearance.
This was meant to be a one-shot story and I’ve posted the 1 chapter (on A03 & FFNet) The story wouldn’t leave me alone and I now have a little bit more written and have the beginning of a plan forming for the rest of the story.
Here’s the 1st chapter
The Games
Climate change, famine, war. Millions dying. Protests leading to riots and yet more people dying. In the end another major war lead to the richest creating the Global Defence Force and ‘order’ was restored. To maintain that ‘order’ two things came into being:
The first was to separate according to wealth. Therefore, the masses of people who were still alive were split into sanctioned areas. Here they were forced to stay and work, if they refused death would be quick.
The second act was brought in to celebrate the end of the war, the rise of the Global Defence Force, and of course to make sure those sanctioned remembered their place. Therefore the Hunger Games were created, and each year one young woman and man would be reaped from each region.
This was the 100th games…
…
Scott paced the small room. Back and forth, back and forth. His mind swirling with each step. Last year had been his last opportunity to be reaped. Usually that would be a good thing, something a family would celebrate. However, for him that final year meant it was the last time he’d been able to step forward and volunteer if one of his younger brothers had been called. Unfortunately this year there was an even higher chance of that now Gordon was old enough to be added to the draft. Thankfully, Alan was still too young. A shuffle behind him caught his attention and he swirled around to face his three brothers, all in their smartest outfit, two of them looking freaked out, John more relaxed with a knowing smirk on his face. “Is it done?”
“Yep!”
His own mouth turned upwards. His middle brother was a genius, especially when it came to hacking systems. Each year since Scott had first been added John had infiltrated the system and made sure their names only appeared in the draft once. (Requiring food rations or first aid meant your name appeared more times on the list. Growing their own food had helped, but with their mothers recent passing followed swiftly by their father’s disappearance had seen them needing emergency aid) Unfortunately removing their names completely would be noticed, but at least this was something.
“Boys?”
All turned to regard their grandma, stoically standing in the doorway her hand firmly in a shaking Alan’s.
“Time to go.”
… …
The parade and subsequent announcements had lasted the usual two hours, all designed and deliberately used to build anticipation and fear for the families and those who were awaiting their fate. Finally, and thankfully for a fidgeting Scott who had been scolded several times by his grandma for not keeping still, the final announcement was made. (Including the shock statement that due to it being the 100th games ‘kindness’ from the Global Defence Force would be shown: Only one person would be reaped and even if they didn’t win immunity from any future games would be given to their family) Next, the draft and the usual young woman, no older than Gordon, with cascading blonde hair and a small pug held tightly with her one arm stepped forwards. Her free hand waved to the crowd in order to silence then silently waved to an older looking man who came forwards with a clear box filled with small slips. Scott held his breath when her hand reached in, continued to hold it when one was pulled out, and his heart dropped with pure fear when Gordon’s name was read. Everything fell apart two seconds later when Virgil shouted, “I volunteer!”
Uh. I got bored again and made another ask game! Pick an oc, or I’ll pick randomly. This one has 100 questions so you can nice and neatly use a d100 to choose what numbers to send in, if you want~

this can also be applied to special interests! if you have multiple, put them in the tags so people who send asks can specify which hyperfixation/spin they’re asking about.
what is the plot of your hyperfixation? and is it a movie, game, show, etc? how did you find your hyperfixation? ✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it? do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation? if your hyperfixation has songs/an ost, what is your favorite song from it? tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them! tell us about one of your LEAST favorite characters and why you dislike them. do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you? do you have any kins or comfort characters from your hyperfixation? are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share? what do you NOT like about your hyperfixation? is there something you would want to change about it?
I don’t know why I’m on a mean streak right now but I feel like being a menace anyways so if y’all want to talk bitchy readers I’m open to it. Or characters too, especially fem ones because I don’t talk about my wives often enough.

thank you to everyone who has ever supported my writing, you all have made me feel so loved and so special.
I have been on a bit of a writing hiatus, and I’m not sure when I’ll get back to it. to anyone who requested a fic, I’m sorry that I’m just not in the right space to be writing right now, life is too crazy and I have virtually no free time on my hands (I’m literally typing this on my break at work)
i still want to be present on here for the friendships I’ve established, so I’m not going anywhere, but writing will likely not be coming anytime soon and if it does it’ll be spur of the moment
that being said, I love all 1200 of you with my whole heart, don’t doubt that for a minute. mamawheeze is still here ✌️
NOW

- ask me anything about tv/movies - give me a rec, ask for a rec (bonus points if you tell me what kind of stuff you’re into), or just ask opinions on different things
- just ask me anything about music, making it or listening to it, OR send me a number 1-100 and I’ll give you my corresponding song from my top songs of 2021
- ask me anything about books - ask for what I’m reading or what I’ve recently read, or ask for a book rec (letting me know what you like to read will help me pick one for you)
My finished work of my Bendy thats in my series! His full name is Benedetto Drew but he prefers to be addressed as Bendy :)
Some Facts about Bendy!
His love interest is my oc Yona!
He once had a relationship with Alice Angel, which becomes a conflict later on.
Benedetto owns a lot of drug stores, and deals a lot on Bars&Dance clubs. Most of his money comes through the docks- he owns majority of the seas food companies.
He’s quite strict but can have a very bubbly and joking personality to those close to him. Usually he’s calm and acts annoyed by every little thing.
His favorite color is blue ahem.. Like yonas eyes.
