||OLD|| -FINGER PAINTINGS- (An II2 Story)
HEYOO!! AUTHOR HERE!! THIS STORY TAKES PLACE IN INANIMATE INSANITY 2. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️READ THIS!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ | | | | V ⚠️⚠️⚠️VERY QUICK WARNING, THIS BOOK HAS DISTURBING TOPICS, SUCH AS BLOOD, DEATH, SH, VOMITING, AND SCREAMING. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE TOPICS PLEASE DON'T READ THIS!! also theyre all dumb so also this is really bad⚠️⚠️⚠️ So basically, MePhone4 dissapeared, but unlike in the regular story, he didn't reappear, but everything slowly began to go back to normal, all the contestants were allowed in Hotel OJ again. Things were normal at first, though, Paintbrush quickly found a new interest. Finger painting. It was a fun activity. But they got hurt while trying to open up a new canvas. But it wasn't a bad thing, the blood spread across the canvas smoothly, and it was an amazing consistency. Perfect for painting. So they kept using it. Even if the smell and feeling of it was repulsive. But they couldn't continue to use their own blood, they would die if they kept using it. So they did something else. ~~ BIG AUTHORS NOTE I AM NOT THE BEST AT WRITING SO THE CHARACTERS MIGHT NOT BE IN CHARACTER, AND THE BOOK MIGHT BE ALL OVER THE PLACE!! CHSJCBSJXBSHXBAJDComplete
II High School (Inanimate Insanity AU)
This story is supposed to be a reimagining from the original II history, but the characters are humanized and they attend to an elite school called International Inquiry High School (which is basically just an excuse for me to make some of the characters from other nationalities). Ships included, but I'll try to not make them affect the plot too much, since I don't want to ruin the experience to my non-shipping fellas. Slow updates, bruh. Title of the chapter = Filler chapter/world building/character development/not based on the actual episodes *Title of the chapter* = Based on the episodes. Report mistakes to me, pretty please. My first story, yay! - Monaliza
Finger Paintings (REBOOT)
After MePhone4 mysteriously dissapeared, the remaining contestants were sent back to Hotel OJ. People picked up new interests, Fan became a famous internet blogger, Suitcase and Balloon became detectives, Test Tube continued her science experiments, ect ect... But what about Paintbrush? That *is* who this story is about, is it not? Yes yes, of course. How would we forget our beloved Paintbrush, famous across all of the seasons of II. What happened to them? Well, they started an art class, every wednesday they would help their students get better at painting. But soon enough, they found a new interest. Finger Painting. They loved how much control they had, they loved how easy it was to glide their finger against the canvas. One day, they accidentally spilt some blood onto their canvas. They tried to rub it away, but.. It felt good. Even better than paint. They loved the feeling of the blood against the canvas, rubbing into it and creating an amazing picture. How could they not like it? But they couldn't use it again, they could use a substitute. And so they would. ~~~~~ ah yes, im better at writing now how did that happen? since im better at writing i thought, why not rewrite my most popular book? its not like its ahha its not like ive got 3 other things to do so yeah finger paintings reboot was born also the death orders might be a little different i will not be making a reboot of revival (unless its highly requested). The ending to this is going to be very different, and will not need a second story. Thank you :) ~~~~~ THIS IS A REBOOT OF THE FINGER PAINTINGS STORY ON MY ACCOUNT, THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING IMAGERY BLOOD SCREAMING DEATH POISONING SUICIDAL THOUGHTS VOMITING SELF HARM ALCOHOL USAGE SEX JOKES (like a lot of them) ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS MANIPULATION AND MUCH MORE. IF THESE TOPICS BOTHER YOU IN ANY WAY, PLEASE DO NOT READ. THANK YOU. ~~~~~ CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME, THEY BELONG TO ANIMATIONEPIC ON YOUTUBE.Complete![Stranded in Paradise [An II Au]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/359568722-256-k211231.jpg)

Inbetween Two Psychos | Inanimate Insanity AU [ON HIATUS]
It was just a normal day at Hotel OJ for Lightbulb. That was, until Test Tube kidnapped Paintbrush for inhumane expiriments, and an unknown assailant has shot and killed Marshmallow. Now, OJ and Paper are trying to capture the culprit, while Lightbulb realizes she's gonna go out by one side or another. This fic is split into multiple acts: Act 1: Hiding in Plain Sight (Chapters 1-11) "Lightbulb feels cornered after Test Tube kidnaps Paintbrush and multiple other contestants, and someone starts murdering her teammates. All the while, OJ and Paper try to figure out what's going on." Act 2: Whiplash (Chapters 12-) "Test Tube, now stuck underground, grows closer with Fan. Meanwhile, Lightbulb attempts to live with the consequences of not acting on her suspicions earlier." TW: Gore, violence, mentions of suicide, torture, and a lot of cliffhangers (sorry) NOTE: This takes place after II2 18. Some lore may be inconsistent, such as Hotel OJ being rebuilt instead of MePad Manor being built instead. (Also, S4 is not canon to this fic, although some characters will get mentioned). Also this is my first fanfic, so I hope you all enjoy!

Hotel OJ: Behind The Scenes
Hotel OJ, OJ's hotel. Usually it'd just be the usual chaos, 'messes in the kitchen' and such. It's not that different with the new faces around from season two.

Decadence Is A Matter Of Time. (Inanimate Insanity AU)
This book contains MATURE because it includes Torturing, Suicide and all, but blood, injury and gore and all are present but it's not that DETAILED. At least I hope so. Don't read this story, it barely gives any information so read the 'rewrite' version of this book in my profile! I DO NOT own Inanimate Insanity, I am NOT the owner of these character names and the show itself. Adam Tyler Katz, also known as AnimationEpic (YouTube channel) is the rightful owner and the show itself. The only thing I own is the story itself as an author. Thanks for 4,000 reads! I don't recommend reading this book though, go read the remake version of this book! THEY'RE OBJECTS NOT HUMANISED. This is a Inanimate Insanity & Object AU Just a note that the title of this book has nothing to do with the book's contents We all known someone who was hiding all along in the perilous forest. Taco. We all know her past. Ever since Microphone eliminated herself and left Taco for good, she felt, worthless, useless, regretted for trying to manipulate her 'friends' for the money, she had realised that she didn't care about this 'friendship', from her view, it was fake, she regretted for betraying Pickle. But, what happens when Taco gets attacked by someone?

Though you annoy me, I'll take your hand in mine any day
DISCLAIMER THIS WAS WRITTEN & CONCLUDED LONG BEFORE S3 ENDED, AND LONG BEFORE II S2 EPISODE 16. SOME THINGS MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH HOW THINGS WRAPPED UP THERE. KEEP THAT IN MIND MePhone 4 ends up hurting himself, and OJ has to keep an eye on him while he recovers, so he doesn't cause any trouble for the hotel, but as they spend time together, the two end up growing closer. This technically takes place post-canon, since s3 contestants will be mentioned in the hotel cover art by me characters belong to animationepic & the web series inanimate insanityComplete
(DISCONTINUED) Through her flame | Candle x Silver Spoon Fanfiction
object form | inanimate insanity invitational fanfic He wasn't supposed to feel this way. He wanted to win the prize for himself and only himself. He would distract himself with these unique challenges MePhone4 dared the rest for an undetermined reward. Despite these circumstances, his cold heart resides in a specific object, a purple candle. Love or Hate? Yes, he despised her very much, to the point he desired to eliminate her from the season, but his conscience says otherwise. This so-called " love " affects his mental stability as he tends to get lost in his thoughts, thinking about her warm and pure smile. Even so, this arrogant polished spoon is deeply confused if he should go for the prize or her award-winning demeanor. [ description ] _ [ author's note ]: I am not an experienced writer. I express my greatest apologies if there are any spelling, grammar, and personality mistakes in a specific character.
