Can Someone Get These Two A Room BY GOD!!!!!!!

Woah

realized i had this in my drafts and planned to post it a month or two after the wheel dropped and then forgot about it. oops! here you go

"why does it feel like i just got scammed", my contribution to the wheel of wow, a small dialtown fic collection comprised of randomly-generated ships written and illustrated by our group of friends! we released it this past valentine's day, and i'm unbearably proud to be a part of it. please take a gander if you haven't!

the ship generated for this one was, uh, milton r. wallace/milton r. wallace. well i hope you like it (please check under the cut for the feelings/concepts behind the comic and my ramblings on the dialup!)

ive been thinking a lot about the dialup lately and like. okay. milton was opposed from day 1, he never Stopped being opposed, but- obviously the dialup is Unfathomably Unethical, i agree with this. a violation of bodily autonomy on a high-incomprehensible scale. but there is that little nagging doubt, what IF it all went exactly according to how callum said it would, if it accomplished all the improvements to people's lives that it was meant to? (given everything we know it seems unlikely it ever WOULD.)

but damn if me, i, griffin, were posed with the choice to press a button where "quality of life improves significantly for like everyone on earth, and also phone heads happen" i would probably definitely press the button. now, i dont think milt would, but like, this comic is meant to explore that bit of doubt, that little voice of callum's in his head going on about changing the world, helping people. what IF it was possible, what IF it worked.

which is also why, in this, hypothetical post-dialup-milton talks more like callum than he does milton (hence why he specifically calls him "milt" and not "milton" on the last page). that little needling voice of doubt speaking up, that after consideration (ie, this conversation) just solidifies his conviction- that the dialup is something horrible, but also not something he feels like he has the power to stop, anymore.

also phone head notes!

it's an ericsson n2200 wooden wall phone, as mentioned in the first page

i wanted an ericsson model specifically since that's the same company that made callum's model (an ericsson dbh of some kind)- playing on the "made in his image"/callum-as-god theme.

unlike callum's model, this is a wooden phone specifically- it's primarily made of organic materials.

the front is completely blank. there's lots of bits and bobs on rotary phones that can read as facial features- dials, bells- i wanted him to be as blank and faceless as possible, removal of expression and individuality. he's not as much a person anymore, he's a vehicle for callum's ideas and ambitions.

WHA,.X.,., what aRE YOU TSLKING SBOUT.

The Wheel of Wow!

hello everyone! happy valentine's day, happy dialtown anniversary! welcome to The Wheel Of Wow!

ao3 link here!

The Wheel Of Wow is a multimedia fic project a handful of us friends at the yaoi hivemind have had cooking for about 8 months (!) now. here's how it works:

-we took every eligible (pre-dlc) dialtown character and put them on a wheel -we spun that wheel twice, a bunch of times, to create a batch of randomly-generated ships. -and each of us picked one or two ships off that list to write a fic or draw a comic about!

we've got a total of 8 works- 6 fics and 2 comics (one of which is 15 whole pages!). these run the gamut of feelings and genres from comedy and fluff to psychological horror, true lové, and zoomaster erotica.

our final setlist is as follows:

He's All That I Want (And I Want Him So Bad) by @teruthecreator

Not The Man They Think I Am At Home by @torchichate

Why Does It Feel Like I Just Got Scammed? by @irradiatedsnakes

You Better Be Believin' by @bandtrees

Although I Have No Arms to Hold You In, a Human Passion Burns Within by @computercreature

Welcome to the ZOO! ZOO! ZOO! by @tigsbitties

Servisory, Congratulatory by @tigsbitties

There's a Dream in Everyone by @bandtrees

(+i did illustrations for every one of these!)

while these all are technically standalone, the order is very deliberate! we HIGHLY recommend you read them all in order as they're presented on ao3.

the fic overall is rated as mature- the explicitness rating is abouuut as raunchy as dialtown itself gets, but there's some heavy stuff in there at points. each fic will have relevant content warnings and tags listed at the beginning.

this project is an absolute labor of love and i'm so proud to be a part of it. everyone's done such an incredible job, i'm really excited for you all to see it!

happy valentine's day!!! enjoy!!!
