“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Not a writer but oh boy was I inspired:

“ Have you ever told God no?”

Lou Binghe freezes, his very blood staring to slow.

“~God?~” Some nameless, faceless cultivator’s voice rings out and Shen Qingqiu ~laughs~. He sounds unhinged, hair failing into his face, so completely at odds with the way Binghe remembers his scum teacher, always so poised, perfectly put together, even when delivering the harshest punishments.

“What fucking else could it be?” His eyes are wide with something like panic and Binghe’s stomach sinks. “ I knew my fate long before it came to me. I knew every action, every ~re~action, every word like lines in a ~script~. It might be the stupidest, most sadistic, unhelpful, uppity God in existence, but you bet your mother’s life, if it’s not a God, nothing in this shit show of a world is.” His words end in a hiss and finally his face contorts into an expression Binghe recognizes. Except…. Looking closer, this expression, eyes narrowed in abject ~loathing~, mouth twisted in a snarl, is different from what Binghe remembers.

It takes him a moment to figure out how, and when it does, this, more than anything convinces Lou Binghe that his Shizun’s words are true.

~there’s no distance in his eyes. Every time Shizun looked at me like this, it felt like he was looking through me. But this? This thing that Shizun hates? He’s looking right at it.~ Binghe shivers, eyes darting around to try and catch a glimpse of this so called Deity.

And then he realizes.

Xin Mo is silent.

Okay okay okay.. but listen. What if Shen Yuan had a harsher System and was forced to convincingly play Shen Qingqiu, making Luo Binghe detest his existence, but when Luo Binghe returns from the abyss to enact his revenge and has Shen Qingqiu on trial at Huan Hua, unfortunately for everyone (and fortunately for us), they drug Shen Qingqiu with truth serum and accidentally spiral Shen Yuan into fanboy rampage of epic proportions about how great Luo Binghe is.

Karmic Rebellion Part 3 I guess

After ranting to Sejanus about how real change comes from within ( the capital obviously not himself what are you talking about) he goes out to get drunk and rant to Lucy Gray about how dumb his boy is. Like Lucy Gray, Songbird, my heart and soul, this dumbass boy thought when I said he should use his money for good he though I meant find and fund a tiny rebel group in twelve and supply them with guns. I mean really who does he think I am?

And Lucy gray, mildly irritated, says well what would you rather he do?

And Coriolanus just looks at her for a second then gets up, grabs a piece of paper and draws a way to sneak around most of the high profile buildings in the capital ( that he and tigress previously used to hide the fact they were poor).

This, he says, could be used to plant bombs, you know, if someone was IN the capital already. But, as no one is, it’s useless, so. And then he crumbles the paper and tosses it out and goes back to ranting about how dumb Sejanus is and how he’s going to be caught and then die for nothing,

Meanwhile Lucy is just look at him in disbelief. Like boy are you kidding me? You have a plan to commit terrorism just like memorized well enough you can draw a map? Did you bomb the arena? Was that you?

And he passes out drunk before she asks him and when he wakes up he claims not to remember anything about a map. And she’s just horrified and mildly turned on.

It’s so perfect that the ones doing the bat voice are Jason and Damian because this kind of immediate reaction is absolutely a trauma response and the ones who have it are definitely Dick and Tim. Jason got a dad before he got a Batman and Damian’s Batman was Dick. Dick? Got a Batman who didn’t know how to work with people let alone how to interact with a kid. If he got hurt Bruce smothered him or berated him and there was no in between. Hell there were probably times both happened on the same night. And Tim? This man was Bruce’s emotional support child and there were abso-fucking-lutley times where he was confused for Jason so Tim not checking in? Hell of a flashback moment for the Bat. Tim probably had to deal with break downs, Bruce almost killing someone or getting screamed at because he wasn’t good enough. Both of them learned real fast that when Batman told you to check in? You answered. No matter what. In the long run it was far safer.

And now I desperately want like a fic series of both scenarios and also like one where they talk about it. Maybe Dick or Tim tries to explain that Bruce was Different™️ with them and what that means. I don’t know I just need it with all my feral little heart.

nightwing being hurt in the field, and over comms he can’t get out what was wrong, nearly in shock, and jason puts on his best batman™️ voice and says “robin, report.”

and it snaps dick out of it enough to say concussion, possible broken ribs, and a gash in his side.

no one talks about it, and then a year later, damian does the same thing to tim

This, this is the premise of the Karmic Rebellion but with less angst please gods above someone write this

literally in another universe snowbairdplinth could've been THE revolution. they wouldn't even really need any allies, lbr.

like, between coryo's cunning, sej's conscience, and lucy gray's charisma? the snow name, the plinth fortune, the baird d12 but neither district nor capitol pedigree?

coryo could've actually been like, panem's first 20-year-old president, who outlaws the hunger games and who the districts still listen to because he has sej and lucy gray on side. and yeah maybe coryo still kills a bunch of people but like whatever, no one really bats an eye -- who's gonna mourn gaul, anyways? no one in the districts, that's for sure. even if gaul didn't suck ass they'd be busy with cool covey music and awesome new legislation.

in a better universe i am 100% certain snowbairdplinth could've managed a fairly bloodless revolution, six decades early.

au where Coriolanus uses the power of toxic yaoi queerbait to keep Sejanus from associating with rebels

[crushvsky]

"being in love with sejanus and lucy gray would fix coriolanus"

personally i think he would still be ruthless. willing to poison, murder, scheme. he'd still be a monster, no gentler than the muttations in dr gaul's lab.

but he'd do it all to see a smile glittering in those big brown eyes.

Back on this Karmic Rebellion shit again.

The inciting incident for this au takes places in District 12, probably after Sejanus is caught working with the rebels by Coriolanus. They start arguing and Sejanus says something which references the moment in the arena when Coriolanus tells him he could do a lot of good with his money and he then insists that funding the rebels is this good Coriolanus said he could do.

And Coriolanus is just so frustrated by this. Because first off he didn’t really mean what he said but also it’s sooo beyond insulting for Sejanus to make this interpretation. Because even if he *had* meant it he certainly wouldn’t have meant it like THAT. It’s an insult to his intelligence, his patience, his understanding of and skill with people and the Capital’s culture. OBVIOUSLY Coriolanus meant Sejanus should use his wealth to get into a position of power where he could affect real change from the top down. I mean only an idiot would try and start a grass roots rebellion in the districts as a way to enact real change! For one the Capital citizens don’t respect the districts, for two the districts are poor, over worked, and over policed. There’s just no way it would work. Really Sejanus I thought you were smarter than that and I’m extremely insulted that I overestimated your intelligence.

And this man was so huffy about it he said an entire version of this rant out loud. To a starry eyed Sejanus who assumes the insults are just because his darling Coryo is frustrated by his grand plan experiencing such a debilitating setback. Because you can only influence the Capital if you’re. You know. There. And this also perfectly explains why Coryo wants to go back! It’s not because of any sort of sense of inherent superiority, it’s just because the best way to free the districts is to be there! And Coryo trying so hard to stick to the status quo and fitting in with their asshole classmates is to further connections for the future! If he was ever mean or dismissive it’s just because that’s what needed to happen so he fit in for his plan to take over! It all makes sense now!

And this man is lost. Immediately on board with it to. And now Coriolanus is trapped in a hell of his own making because he just said something extremely seditious and there’s just really no back pedaling now is there?

[crushvsky]

I need someone to write a TBoSaS Snowjanus ( possibly SnowJanusBaird?) where at some point during their stint in District 12 Coryo just looses his shit at Sejanus’s poorly thought out rebellion attempts and ends up yelling an actually thought out, detailed workable plan about how to become president of panem and take the capital down from the inside over a period of like? I don’t know 10 years?

And both Sejanus and Lucy Gray look at each other, look back at him and then immediately come to the very wrong conclusion that this is a Plan Coryo’s had in the works for years not something he blurted out in the heat of the moment because he couldn’t stand Sejanus being so fucking stupid anymore. And because it’s such a well thought out plan to dismantle Capital society and stop the games they’re both very on board.

Except that this wasn’t a plan. But hey it gets him his boy and his girl and his presidency so what’s Coryo gonna do? Complain? Absolutely not. He’s just gonna go along with it because he’s still in control. He’s the only one that can play the game and has like an actual shot at politics so of course that’s where his place in the not a plan is. And he can just Not Do the rebellious parts and still keep his partners! It’s perfect!

Except it’s not perfect because Sejanus is impatient and starts a secret rebellion in the capital and Lucy Gray has heard rumors of district 13 more often then she can count and wouldn’t both of these things be a lovely gift for our rebellious pretty boy?

And long story long it’s like that one meme with the super villain who keeps unintentionally doing good deeds no matter what he does. Like take candy from a baby, turns out candy’s poison level of karmic goodness that he can’t get away from but like… seditious.

edit: this idea appears to be sticking around, I’m calling it Karmic Rebellion for now. If it keeps floating in my head, I might try and write the damn fic myself.
