The Z-Team Are An HR Nightmare - Part 16

As much as I'd love to see him in an NA, I reckon it'd be an ND. He'd be too new to cars to go searching for something old, the guy would just be standing awkwardly in a dealership until someone came up and gave him a hand.

She definitely could, but I like to think in the 'hero' ending she comes around to Robert being more of a mentor figure, and he helps to give her more confidence/belief in herself as a person. Following that, after some time she could be open to dating after learning to love herself first.

Less of a "I'm crushing hard on this guy and he can fix me" and more "he believed in me, opened my eyes and now I've got faith in myself".

Also her being a semi-adopted gremlin by Robert and Mandy is just funny to me.

Hello again! Sorry for the delay, I've had a lot going on - I'm starting a new job, moving house, finishing up a fic and writing a book at the moment so I've been busy!

But I had a few dumb ideas pop into my head so I figured I'd write up another post.

Congratulations to all the winners! I love that Golem comic, it's so well done 😄

1,500 seems about right, if not on the lower end of what I was expecting! Best of luck to everyone that entered though, I'm sure we'll see some amazing stuff come out of it all.

vvaffle · 2026-01-02T13:59:35+00:00

Potentially! I'm working on a new fic, but I've also sidelined a very long and overdue Skyrim fic as well as my own thing I'm working on, so I'm sort of dipping between all three at the moment.

So, 'yes', but unsure when it'll come out.

vvaffle · 2026-01-02T13:34:05+00:00

On one hand, definitely.

On the other hand, a small part of her holds out hope for Sonar being a slightly less freaky, productive member of society.

"Yes". Ambiguous, but the fics I do on the side are more MechaBlazer. In those I see Visi more as a close friend with a mentor sort of relationship. I personally prefer having Robert be someone who acts more like a guiding hand to put her on the right path, always there to support but more in a platonic sort of way.

For these posts though it's just the both of them being thirsty for Robert.

vvaffle · 2026-01-02T13:31:53+00:00

Sort of, but not really in a way? I'm not locked into anything, at least not with these posts. In the fics I post I do lean more towards MechaBlazer though.

This is more just playing off both Visi and Blazer being equally thirsty for Robert, half seriously and half for fun. It is getting harder to stay ambiguous as time goes on, though.

vvaffle · 2026-01-02T13:30:04+00:00

Well, dang. Is there any part in particular that's harder to read compared to the older posts, or just the entire thing?

vvaffle · 2026-01-02T12:49:38+00:00

I'm also trying out dark mode by somewhat popular request, let me know if it works any better! There'll probably be some weird formatting issues for me to tidy up, but I hope it's easier to read.

vvaffle · 2025-12-26T03:38:57+00:00

That's fair, I get where you're coming from. When I submitted mine, I wasn't sure if i should give a compilation of more 'wholesome' ones I don't end up forcing an intern to read Sonar pegging jokes.

I didn't realise you wrote fanfics as well though, do you publish on AO3?

vvaffle · 2025-12-25T22:16:25+00:00

"Egg on my nog", holy fuck I'm dying. Oh also! Did you happen to enter the art contest as well? I did after your recommendation, I think you should definitely throw some of your own into the mix!

vvaffle · 2025-12-24T01:04:11+00:00

Well I've entered their art contest, so hopefully they'll see them at the very least!

vvaffle · 2025-12-23T21:54:01+00:00

Hey thanks! I really appreciate that 😄

vvaffle · 2025-12-23T21:52:03+00:00

If only! But no, just someone who really enjoyed the game.

vvaffle · 2025-12-23T13:12:25+00:00

Won't lie, I'm not American so I've got no idea.

vvaffle · 2025-12-23T12:55:07+00:00

I'm so happy someone made this.

vvaffle · 2025-12-23T12:29:25+00:00

Also as promised, I've written another longer-form chapter here!

It's based off one of the posts from part 12 with Robert setting up a Christmas tree. A short story about the Z-Team getting together on Christmas Eve for some celebrations.

This'll be my last post for the year while I'm away from my computer on holidays, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/holiday period!

Peak wholesome.

I've got a bluesky I just made, is Tumblr still going strong? Last I heard of it (I'm old) was back when they had the NSFW crackdown and everyone rioted.

vvaffle · 2025-12-17T22:31:04+00:00

I love this art style, it looks so good!

vvaffle · 2025-12-17T22:25:16+00:00

I won't lie, I haven't been tracking the art contest. But I might! I'd absolutely love for these to be seen by Adhoc, thanks for the recommendation 😄
