Prohibitedwish - Tumblr Posts
Executive dysfunction’s been making writing the upcoming pw fic chapter take longer than I wanted, but if things go well I should hopefully finish the chapter by the end of tomorrow.
AYO NEW CHAPTER HERE
At last I officially return from hiatus!!!
(finally)
A third of my beta reader’s comments on this ended up being along the lines of “they’re married” or “They’re in love”, so I hope you all enjoy the chapter just as much.
this morning is the third time I’ve had Scarab appear in my dream, and second time I’ve had Prismo there as well.
pretty neat imo, really shows how much ive been brainrotting over them.
A little teaser (if you could even call it that) for the chapter I’m writing
Any guesses on how it might go?
Impulsively made this after I saw something-
nsfw joke/ref below cut
For my pw fic, im thinking about changing the name of a character in the fic Scarab+Prismo write within my fic.
Currently it’s “Bob R.” but I was thinking maybe “Roob” could work better.
Main issue is that this would require editing previous chapters to correct the name and it might confuse some people.
(If it is voted that I should change it, I will put a disclaimer in the start notes of my next chapter to announce/explain the change)
I’ve got a take on a prohibitedwish/fionna and cake pirate au that I thought of while listening to music and will never write a full fic for, so I just wanted to write out the ideas I had for funsies
It starts at night when Scarab, a feared pirate captain, kidnaps Prismo, son of the navy’s head general, to be used as a bargaining chip to save Jake from being hung.
Prismo has befriended an owl (Cosmic Owl ofc) and it follows them as Prismo’s taken away. On the ship, Fionna and Simon are ready for when he returns and they have Prismo tied to the mast to be clearly visible.
With no better way to help, Cosmic Owl attempts fly in and attack Scarab. It isn’t very effective when Scarab manages to grab Cosmic Owl by the claws. Scarab questions Prismo about the owl and Prismo panics to explain that Cosmic Owl was some of his only company.
Begrudgingly, Scarab sends Fionna to get something from below deck. Fionna returns with a small pouch. Scarab takes a pinch of colored dust from the pouch and blows it into Cosmic Owl’s face. Prismo’s worried about how it might hurt his eyes when Cosmic Owl sputters and is now *magically* able to speak (the first thing he says is probably yelling at Scarab to let them go or something before being like ‘wait oh shit I can talk’). As Prismo and Cosmic Owl are both coming to this realization, Cake comes up from below deck and makes a casual comment abt how great two way communication is (ref to what the squirrel said to cake in fionna and cake).
^that’s like the closest thing to an actual scene I’ve thought of
so more general lore just laid out
Meet the Crew (and learn the lore):
Scarab- captain, helmsman (does the steering). He is the owner of the boat, and is the one to decide who gets to join and who doesn’t. To his own annoyance, their safety is top priority. He claims it to be because they’re already such a small crew, and cannot afford to lose any more (but really he’s grown attached, though it would take a significant amount of inebriation for him to admit it). He carries an unassuming cane everywhere because of its magical ability to transform into a weapon (his crystal from fionna and cake but pirate themed). Previously a bounty hunter, he formed the crew after a target got the jump on him and left a scar slashed across his back. Now they search for magical artifacts and treasure to get by.
Simon- navigator, cook, surgeon. He takes care of everyone’s wellbeing and responsible for most technical stuff. He joined the crew in pursuit of knowledge about the treasures out there to be found. Years ago his long time girlfriend Betty sacrificed herself to save them from the kraken that rose from sea during a large battle at sea. She did it by using one of their treasures to fuse with the kraken before it could sink their ship, and the part of her that remains now allows them to cross its territory unharmed. He still misses her, and drops small offerings/gifts that he thinks she might like into the water when they pass over.
Fin- master at arms. Fin is well trained in combat and responsible for teaching the others how to handle themselves. He and Scarab are well matched when they duel, with most ending in a draw due to an interruption eventually requiring their attention. Growing up he was an orphan living on the streets with his only friend being his dog Jake. They were thieves to get by, and one day stumbled their way into finding the sack of magic dust that allowed Jake to talk. One day they stole a relic from bounty hunter Scarab that granted Jake his stretchy powers. They were caught in the act, but became the first to be recruited by Scarab as he saw their potential. Upon Jake's capture, he has become dead set on saving his best friend.
Jake- Cabin boy. With his stretchy powers he improvises ways to help the crew or hold together the ship. He met Prismo by chance and got to know him well enough to find out he didn't like his life stuck on land. They became friends before Prismo knew he was a pirate, but things went downhill when Prismo's father caught them and had Jake arrested. Stuck in jail, his only knowledge of what is happening is through the complaints of Prismo's father blaming Jake for Prismo's capture. Safe to say, it's the only reason he has yet to be hung.
Fionna- Rigger, Swabbie. She and Cake are the most recent addition to the crew. Like Fin she was an orphan before being recruited, and was the same age as he was when he was recruited many years ago. She reminded Fin of himself, though she was much more eager to be a pirate, so he convinced Scarab to allow her and Cake in. As the youngest in the crew and filled with a need for adventure, she often is the first to rush in without thinking things through. This has gotten them into troubling situations before. To make up for it, she is doing her best to learn how to fight from Fin so that she can properly defend herself.
Cake- Swabbie. When she joined, she was given the same magic dust that Jake had. In Jake's absence, she has had to learn how to use the stretchy power relic that he left behind on the ship. With some big shoes to fill, she makes it her business to keep others positive/entertained (this has yet to work on Scarab)
Not sure if there should be Bubblegum and Marceline or Gary and Marshal, or both, so feel free to imagine their inclusion however you prefer. Coming up with this stuff is hard, okay?
Prismo- hostage. Prismo lived most of his life under control of his strict father, and began sneaking out at night to live his own life. With little friends, he befriended an owl that happened to nest outside his window. One night he met Jake and they got along well, meeting up every night for a week until Prismo's father caught them. Only then did Prismo find out that Jake was part of Scarab's crew which his father had been working tirelessly to catch. Prismo was grounded, and Jake was jailed to be hung. After his capture, Prismo sympathizes with their crew, and wants to support their goal of having Jake released. It takes a lot of convincing from Prismo to be allowed to roam free on the ship after they have set sail (which Scarab permits on the grounds that Prismo simply doesn't have the combat skill be able to seriously injure any of them even if he wanted to). Scarab is highly skeptical of Prismo's sympathy, and keeps a close watch that Prismo cant help but be highly aware of. Fionna reassures him that it's just how Scarab is, but with his nervously pushy attitude Prismo is slowly able to break down Scarab's emotional walls one by one.
If anyone does anything with this I'd love to see it
When is the next chapter of That won't fly with the Boss? Seeing that Prismo and Scarab are finally on date with each other that my excitement can hold on..
Well I’ve currently got 600 words written, but ofc there’s a lot more to go.
My upload goal is to have a new chapter posted every other Friday, and I do my best to be consistent with it, so hopefully I should have the next chapter posted then.
I post in the afternoon or even right before going to sleep depending on how much editing the chapter needs, and also time zones are a thing, so don’t expect it to be there right when you wake up, but hopefully checking later in the day will work.
Also as a little bit of a heads up, the next chapter isn’t the party. It’ll actually be taking place like a few days or so before. I’d say more but nothing’s set in stone until the chapter’s written (which I plan to spend today doing)
Posting the first two paragraphs of my next chapter like I said I would because I haven’t finished the chapter yet.
got a whole lotta fic within the fic this chapter :)
Sorry the chapter’s taking so long, executive dysfunction was kicking my ass for like a week straight gay.
I love writing characters spiraling, it’s honestly very therapeutic :)
sum food for my followers or anyone else who might enjoy
Scarab can be big gremlin energy, as a treat.
I’ve dipped my toes back into writing for the silly fic,,, mayhaps I’ll write more than a just few small paragraphs tomorrow,,, mayhaps not,,,,,,
mayhaps I’ll stop saying mayhaps and just talk like a normal person. (<- consider that a one week late april fools, we stay abnormal)
omg skrimblos!
I love this interpretation of the night terrors lol
I love prismo’s night terrors, i think theyd constantly terrorise Scarab

apparently my fic writing was good enough that an irl friend of mine who has watched the full season of Fionna and Cake forgot for several months up until earlier today that Prohibitedwish isn’t canon.
I think this is what the people call “winning”
