Walleye when I catch you
You can't, unfortunately.
I am a fish, I will simply swim away. I will slippery slide out of your grasp, and as I go, I will whisper sweet secrets in your ear that will haunt you forever about the torture I have planned for Impulse and Skizz.
And nobody will ever believe you.
Because I am a talking fish.
With a keyboard.
And fingers apparently, idk how I would type with my lil flippy floppy fins
I'm simply the slowest reader alive but I just SPEED RAN the new chapter and I swear when it's not some ungodly hour of the morning, I get my thoughts together, and have slept at least 8 hours I WILL scream to you about it, it WILL be uncoherent, and I will be very NORMAL about what has just conspired in this chapter. This is a threat. (Now if you dont mind i think im going to go to sleep and probably dream about shimmering wings/silly)
ehehehehehehe I love ur ramblings so much :))))) They make me very happy <3
BUT! sleepies are important !!! ((says me, who has been staying up later and later each night (((it was 5 am last night ripppppp))) (not my fault, I blame Enkay (They're just too good of company!!))))
Just. don't die of sleep deprivation :thumbsup:
AND keep rambling forever and always amen
ik it's been many chapters since, but... https://www.tumblr.com/crystaleevee4/763991427951837185/as-i-type-this-im-like-not-even-halfway-through?source=share
was I right? ;P
You were lol, I was originally planning to do something like what I did for the calc problem and give spoiler art, but uhhhh.. it's kinda been a while since then, and also I am in the process of reworking the outline (AGAIN rippppppp I just want them to have DEPTH and WORLDBUILDING) so there's not much I can give you for certain as a reward D:
HOWEVER! of the things I do know for certain, here's the smallest crumb from my outline for next chapter:
"Skizz runs into Impulse, literally. Again."
Why does he die, you ask?
Well.
This.
LINK LINK LINK LINK GO READ RIGHT NOWWWWW
ehehehehe stupid stupid guysssssss
It's not really been shown much yet, but yea. Skizz is an absolute MORON (but hes also so handsome and cool and actually really really smart but he plays it up for the lols)
i love that people think impulse is this super cool youtube/mc guy and skizz is his silly bumbling best friend/sidekick when in reality all impulse wants to do is be as carefree as skizz and follows him around like a puppy
"impulse, what the heck are you doing hanging out with THAT guy?"
impulse: I know, right??? Aren't I just the luckiest dude on the planet?
skizz: [dies to a silverfish]
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh I so happyyyyyyy :)))))
I'm like, a year behind on replying to messages like this but I'm so so happy that you love my fic!!!!! Stuff like this FEEDS me :D
Also I'd absolutely love fanart and would commit crimes and things to have some, please and thank. If crimes aren't good enough, I guess I'll try being a little less normal about the two idiots (if it's even POSSIBLE at this point, probably not)
and if even THATS not enough, I suppose I may or may not have the next chapter soon. I will say that things are spiraling a teensy bit out of proportion, I have more ideas in my brainium than I had planned to write, but just know that next chapter. oh boy. y'all are getting FED
To @cannibal-walleye !!! Sending this on anon because the idea of being perceived scares the living shit out of me and I have crippling social anxiety. But! You're amazing! Stumbling ass-backwards into finding your skizzpulse fic This Side of the Screen was one of the best (accidental) decisions I've made in a while. I'll never forget the moment I connected the dots and realized you, the artist, was also you, the author lol. Expect more fanart soon, and, you should totally be even less normal about Impulse and Skizz. For fun <3
@cannibal-walleye !!!

That post has been in my drafts for weeks now, and let me just say, I have words upon words I could say about it. Enkay is a cruel and stingy tyrant of secrets who would never spare a morsel for us poor innocent readers 😔 It's a harsh world out there for pizza enjoyers, I don't know how we survive, but we must soldier on regardless of the terrible and inhumane conditions.
That said, while I reserve the right to complain as much as I want about how terrible, horrible, and mean Enkay is, I am above all of you because I GET TO HAVE SOME SECRETS AHAHAHAHAHHAHAH I KNOW THINGS THAT YOU DON'T, FOOOLLSSSSS >:))))
I am Very privileged in that I bother Enkay as often as I want (translation: every day, multiple times a day), and even if there's only a 0.001% chance of getting a secret, I can simply ask a thousand times :) Sounds tough for you though, good luck out there smile
SCREAMING. SCREAMING SO LOUD. GIGGLING. KICKING MY FEET. CRYING. TWIRLING MY HAIR. GIGGLING. CRYING. WHEN I GET YOU WALLEYE WHEN I GET YOU!!! I TOLD YOU I WOULDNT SURVIVEEE
(Just got a chance to sit down and read chapter 10 in one go)
ehehehehehehhehe I have NO REMORSE, they're so sweet that I'm going to give EVERYBODY diabetes and you can't stop me >:)))
So happy you liked the chapter though :D
Nom nom nom
Mmm some newly forming feelings.. with a side of irony? Yum oh and is this freinderonis becoming freinderonis twice? Yum.
Truly exquisite 10/10 would eat again.
Though it seems my stomach has grown tenfold what will I ever fill it with????
(lol love this food)
hehe I'm glad you liked the (not new anymore it's been a month rip) chapter! but YES, delicious new feelings!! They're becoming friends AGAIN how can this happen??? I find it hilarious tbh
As for your stomach growth, you should probably get that checked out by a doctor xD I'm working on the next chapter though, hopefully out within a week if all goes well :D We'll see. Really hoping you are a snake or some other reptile that only needs to eat every other month lmao
I've been thinking about TSotS a lot lately, and I can't stop thinking about how I didn't realize BOTH of them didn't know eachothers hybrid status.
I've already talked a bit about how this effects Skizz and his perception of what's going on, but I've been thinking about Impulse a lot more.
At first, in one of the first chapters, 3, I think, when we first see impulses not-a-crush-crush on his angel classmate, and I thought it was fueled by his.. let's say growing fondness of his angel bestfriend (id specify "online" but... he doesnt seem like a very social creature)
But now that I know he doesn't know Skizz is an angel (which tbf i probably should have picked up on lol, i feel like if he knew it would have been a much more major plot point by now) it makes his crush feel a lot more real and present and important. Because at the end of the day, it is. His crush wasn't influenced by Skizz, making it (unknowingly) more important to him because this is his first crush, ever. He truly did just become enamored with an angel for seemingly no reason. And it's scary.
This makes for a couple interesting directions this story can take when he does eventually learn skizz is an angel (assuming that happens before he meets Skizz in person and they live happily ever after with no problems at all. Definitely.).
A) he becomes even more enamored with his classmate
B) full on falls head over heels for skizz
C) unintentionally ghosts Skizz (and avoids his classmate at all costs) because he's having multiple gay panic attacks ("skizz is an angel? Like that guy in my class? Are his wings as pretty? Is the guy just as nice as skizz?")
D) begins to put the dots together and starts to freak out... or alternatively does the opposite and sees no connection what so ever. Silly guy.
Or E) some secret 5th thing that only an author could come up with because being a writer is actually just playing 3D chess with the characters (and readers)
Also I'm so. So. normal about the apology pastries. I will not survive that interaction. (And for the sake of this ramble, we're not thinking about the outcome possibilities. Because i will be here for hours if i so much as think about how that will go down + the aftermath)
Insane rambles that make little to no sense, probably missing some stuff I wanted to mention, and also very rushed because. Well I need my thoughts on some kind of paper or I will explode/pos. They take up an insane amount of my thoughts. Send help. (And to think, i was somewhat normal about skizzpulse before this fic... i regret nothing)
I feel like I've achieved absolutely nothing with this long ask, but, oh well. As always love your tippy taps and your scritchy scratchs (writing and art) remember to drink and eat! Don't Let the concerned-for-your-wellbeing Skizz bite!
Hi hi hi it's been like,, a month since u sent this in. I'm so sorry lol. I LOVE to get asks (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU-), I just don't always respond in a timely manner rip.
Anyways! THEORIES AND STUFF my beloved >:))))
I don't think it's been mentioned explicitly, mainly because I don't like to do straight exposition and prefer to work information into the plot naturally, but they know next to nothing about one another's personal information. They've both been very strict about protecting their privacy for a variety of reasons, so yeah. Skizz didn't know Impulse was a demon, and while Skizz has certainly hinted that he's an angel, he hasn't explicitly told Impulse.
And that's one thing I really like about how their relationship is going to develop; it said in the tags, but it's simultaneously friends to lovers and strangers to lovers, because at least at the beginning, the online and in-person personalities have no direct association with one another. So yeah, Impulse just likes this random angel for no reason other than SMOKING HOT, and it has nothing to do with Skizz (yet ;))
ughh I love all your theories, there are SO many things that could happen from here. And of course, nothing is going to be directly confirmed or denied, but I will say at least part of several of your theories are going to happen >:)) With angst, naturally. ughhh you don't even KNOW. lots of 3D chess with multiverse time travel going on.
Hehe the apology pastries. An idea like that will pop into my head and I'm just like,, yes. this is it. I have been ✨enlightened✨ They're just cute and stupid and they deserve to have good things to eat, and PURRING ehehehehehe >:))))) fool's gonna fall so hard, he doesn't even know what hit him
And, like always, I don't mind rambles!! Ramble as much as you want!! Ramble more!!!!! I just don't always get to them in a timely manner rip, but don't take that as me being annoyed or uninterested because I want to knowwwww your thoughts, please and thank you :))) And don't say you've achieved nothing! It all adds to my motivation :D These asks and the comments I get really help to get me out of slumps in motivation and such, so I really really appreciate it <3
Okies that's all, haves a good day, I'm going to go write now :))
https://archiveofourown.org/works/58496020/chapters/156991744
so uhhhhhh, the reason this chapter has taken so long is that it's over 16k words long. oopsies!
Happy Eating!!!!
In which we have a very shy Impy :3
Let me know what you think! I love all your theories and ideas <3 Enjoy!
((link AGAIN in case you somehow missed it smh))
Impulse discusses him and Skizz reacting to Life Series fan projects on the podcast. Then he kinda.... goes off topic...

WALLEYE
😋🫴 I lurve them and you should to
I do love them, and as with all things I love (Impulse and Skizz), I think they should be put in a blender 👍
Hey hiya hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :D
goobers
ehehehehehehe themmmmmmm :)))))))) they are indeed goobers!!
I love the glow on Skizz's wings and halo and his lil concerned expression. He just cares about his buddy! Those eyes are absolutely SPARKLING btw. The tiny :( bubble is adorable, but also so so sad. The guy needs some comfort!
Also poor Impyyyyy D: the tears and the wobbly lip UGH he's oh so sad :((( At least he seems kinda cozy in his bed. He needs a Skizz to come give him some cuddles and love, you know?
🫴
They are finished 🤧 I'm gonna go sleep no-
awww cuties! They've been sitting in my inbox for so long, they probably need a snack rip. But I love them! Their eyes are more than a little terrifying, just staring into my soul. The lil purple eye is a good detail, and all of them look very squishy in general so thats a good sign. They deserve to be squished, I say. Uhhh it has been WEEKS since I got this, but I hope you had a good sleep lol
Can I give the poor impulse all the sweet treats and kisses he wants
ahh sorry it took so long to reply to this!! I dunno if he'd want kisses, given how shy he is rip. If only there were someone to give him treats...
MUAHAHAHHAA GET SQUASHED FOOL
but nuuuu the babyy...
I want to pet him with my whole hand. Squish him.
[107]
Oops
YAYYYYYYY IM GOING TO READ RIGHT NOW AND YOU SHOULD TOOOOOOOO
the FINAL chapter of the Skizzpulse Coffee Shop AU is completed! done, dunzo, over! thank you all so much for the love and support <3
The guest this week is a life coach (nutritionist, exercise regime regulator, casual mental health upkeep) and there is some discussion of diet (the literal food intake, not calorie-deficit eat practices), unhealthy diet practices, and potentially triggering talk of body image and self image in general. The diet talk specifically around the 10-13 minute mark.
All of these subjects are treated with respect and positivity and from personal experiences, nothing ever too deep or dark, but they're brought up.
If you are easily triggered by these subjects, you should exercise caution this week! <3
I gift you tiny grian
agh hes so cuteeeee the lil guy!!! I love him <3 just look into those eyes... there's nothing behind them.
anyways this is my son now, i've adopted him.
Found myself strangely obsessed with Skizz and Lizzie… there are apparently brain chemicals in there
martyn inthelittlewood PLEASE give mumbo a spyglass i beg. give the ahasbands nation some crumbs
Sure thing, I'll do it next recording. I did see that clip of him saying on Hermits that me and Timmy always make his 😅
Heyyyyy hiiii hiya hiii uhhhhh

RAHHHHH CANNIBAL WALLEYE WALLEYE CANNIBAL YOU NEVER MISSSSS JUMPING OFF THE WALLLSSSS
Just got the chance to finish chapter 9 and i will cryyyyyy. Impulse :( Skizz caring about Impulse :( they're all so stupid :( I can't wait till I have time to draw RAHHH
I have a feeling this is going to be one of the chapters that really stick with me. Aside from the WONDERFUL writing, and the AMAZING portrayal of emotions, I can, unfortunately, really connect and sympathize with Impulse this chapter lol
Obviously not to go too into detail or start venting or anything, today has been A LOT. had to get up earlier than i can properly function, go to physical therapy, just got back from a saline infusion,
(Trigger warning: needles, and slight medical errors. feel free to skip lol Tylically the place i go to for infusions are quick and easy, but today they didnt fail once, but TWICE. blew two veins, and when they finally got everything said and done, the needle hurt like HELL going in, when usually i can't feel it)
and I STILL have another appointment I need to go to later today. On top of all that I also have to fit in schoolwork. Definitely feels like stuff that doesn't normally bother me is building up, and FAST, I can only imagine what Impulse is feeling. Actually, not true, I can READ it lol. (And it will never fail to make me Feel™ what they are Feeling™)
Once again, everything is so very wonderfully written it's insane. Despite being similar to what I'm currently feeling, it still felt like an escape rather than adding to the stress, yknow? Which, personally, as someone who struggles with writing in general. Is just plain insane to me.
Also the shower scene. Beautifully written. You can practically feel the tension melting off of Impulse before his thoughts start getting a bit too much. Very relatable. Very cozy with the perfect amount of oomph. I want Skizz to hug him and tell him it's going to be okay so bad I could rival the sun in intensity. Like. Cannibal. Cannibal please. Let them be happy. (Make it last. I want to see them suffer.) I want to draw them being happy together (i want to draw them being sad together. They should be miserable a bit longer. As a treat.)
Don't want this to go on for too long, because I feel like it's already longer than it probably should be, even if I could ramble for hours. But I just wanted to say that this chapter made me especially happy :] (also im surprised Skizz didn't know he was a demon. Hmm. The thoughts are brewing lol.)
Last but not least, do you mind being called just "cannibal?" Because personally, I find it very silly, but if it bothers you at all I can just. Not, lol. <3 (Also feel free not to answer this if its too long or makes you uncomfortable in any way, I definitely rambled about my day way more than I intended. Whoops.)
hehehe I know >:3 (I'm gonna answer this with a paragraph for each of ur paragraphs btw)
Cry. Do it. I dare you to. They ARE so silly and sad and also so so caring for each other <3 <3 ((also if u drew something i would love u forever haha))
I'm so pleased to hear that you think it's going to stick with you! That's actually such an honor, you're making me blush ^///^ But yeah, I think we're all relating to Impulse this chapter, which is honestly rather unfortunate. But hey! At least I'm hitting home 🙃
I don't mind venting!! Vent away <3 Also I feel that, getting up earlier than it feels you can function. Had that last semester, fortunately I have no 8 ams this time around.
I'm so sorry to hear that D: I hope you're all recovered by the time I answer this <3 I had a similar thing years ago, where I injured myself and they had to draw blood and just couldn't get the needle right. I think they tried 5 times on both arms. Somehow, I'm not afraid of needles after that, but I totally get what you're experiencing and wish you all the best *throws infinite hearts at you*
It really is just an endless cycle sometimes, huh? The little things can pile up quickly if you're not careful about noticing and taking care of yourself. I hope you got to take a warm shower, or do something comforting to you afterwards. My go-to is a mug of hot chocolate :] (and speaking of, I actually just had one lol)
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I'm glad it felt like an escape. I find it difficult to read works that are bleak or overly miserable, so I'm happy to hear that it wasn't just sad for you, that it helped with your own experiences. Something something comfort in solidarity and shared suffering
Yeah the shower scene :))) Fun fact: I came up with the idea while in the shower. It's so distracting at first when there's something to do, what with washing up n such. And then, there's that period where it's so comfortable, but purposeless, and that's where the thoughts get you. At least for me, and thus Impulse. But mostly, a very very safe space where things don't feel quite so oppressive. And the Skizz hugs, I'm sure they're coming one day ;) ((also the "I want to see them suffer" is far too true for me lmao. make it ANGSTY)) Again, if you draw, I will give u a real life kiss and make you a cinnamon roll. You deserve to draw them, as a treat. ((YES DRAW THEM SAD >:D the misery makes the relief all the sweeter at the end))
I don't mind long asks! And I ESPECIALLY don't mind rambling about my story. I live off that stuff, yes please. Genuinely makes my day, reading comments and seeing these extra reactions :)))) If you want to ramble, always feel free to send in an ask, or even message me directly! I won't bite you (I only bite Skizz), and I'm always happy to have someone to ramble about skizzpulse with (So, if you have thoughts brewing about Skizz not knowing he was a demon, you're invited to send them my way)
You can call me Walleye! Cannibal just describes my feelings on Imp and Skizz, you know? And yeah, Cannibal does feel like a silly name, so hopefully Walleye feels a little less silly
Thank you so so sosoSOOSOSOSOSO much for the ask, I can't even begin to explain how happy this makes me. Hopy you're feeling better! Drink water, get some rest, take care of yourself!! <3
Walleye out o7
Grian: “If anyone- If anyone tuned in and didn’t know our vibe, they’d think we just hated eachother”
Skizz: “Oh- I know what this- this is the thing, this is what friends do. In fact-“
Gem (overlapping): “Every friend group I’m in, we just like, are the worst to eachother”
Skizz: “No, my, my biggest love language is physical contact and uh, Impulse hates it because he hates hugs and I’m always hugging him and punching him, all the time”
Impulse: “Not true-“
Gem (overlapping): “Impulse you hate hugs?!”
Impulse: “It’s not true! I just hate hugs from Skizz.”
Skizz (angry): “HEY! I HEARD THAT, OKAY? THAT HURT!”
Impulse: (laughing)
They are such children but also they’re so obviously brothers I mean ashdjjshekddkkw this is so funny to me “go get it” “go get what”
Editing to clarify: they’re not actually brothers but they “may as well be” according to Skizz
Okay okay this will not go away so
The Hermits ranking how weird they are right
And Impulse talking about his inverted mouse controls and how Skizz also uses inverted controls because they both played the same war game
Where Impulse was the helicopter pilot
And Skizz was his gunner
And I just.
In a fictional version of Hermitcraft, Impulse the demon soldier of wars long won or lost but either way forgotten going 'you know what, it's nice here, it's calm and fun and beautiful and the chaos is always tempered by love no matter how destructive it gets, I should bring my friend.'
And his friend Skizz- an angel, the opposite of him in every way, an enemy turned ally turned something like brother but the word brother does not and cannot truly encompass what they have become to one another over millennia- says, 'will they want me?'
'Of course they will.'
'I can't create. I never could.'
'That's not what it's about. Come on, come see it. Come be with me where there are no guns. Come fly again.'
And these two old soldiers, one guiding the other into a circle of people who will trust and care and treat him like a person, not a weapon. Who will laugh at his antics and love him just as he is, as Impulse came to love him.
Just fucking. Impulse and Skizz, both with ancient scars, building new things together just like they promised one another they would when everything was dust and blood and this- this is their happy ending, and they share it with people who don't have a clue, and its perfect.
