I will say, boiling "Archer" down to the "projectiles" class is really fucking funny. Throwing knives? Archer. Darts? Archer. Baseball pitcher? Archer. I'm just imagining some really annoyed adventurer going "No, they're 'RANGED' fighters-" / "So, Archers." / "Archers are a TYPE of ranged fighter, but not every ranged fighter is a-" / "Look, they're basically the same thing." / "No, they VERY MUCH ARE NOT-!"

The power of YEET

So. I realize the Cait Sith thing got switched to Fae for Adrien in the ML Monster AU. But I feel the need to point out. Cait Sith, if you want to get EXTREMELY TECHNICAL. Are sort of Fae in & of themselves. They are at least adjacent.

True but I wanted to add in the changeling thing because damn it we have two sets of twins how can I not make them Changelings?

Oh, other idea. Bustier is a Beldam-like creature (Other Mother from Coraline type thing). But like. Similar to how a Succubus doesn’t NEED to kill her targets to get "fed" (though fully draining a single person is still a massive boost of energy) Beldams don’t actually need to "eat" childrens souls to get sustenance. Being a teacher is how Bustier gets her food with having to resort to soul-stealing.

You know what I like that actually.

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

Ok, so. I don't know what Bustier is in ML Monster AU, but I just had a thought - what if she's an ex-hunter? Like, she used to be someone (solo, or part of a group) that hunted monsters, until she went undercover to find a group of monsters hiding in Paris. She went under as a school teacher, met all the kids, realized they were monsters, but also realized, ya know. They're CHILDREN. So she quits being a hunter, becomes a silent protector of the kids.

on the table!

Oh, for sure. Just . . . Deadpool is like. An even more distilled version of "Fun Uncle (Criminal)". Plus Deadpool's other . . . Deadpool things. So I feel it would take longer for Wade to go "wait, fuck, I'm a dad now", & we'd have more extreme ups & downs. That said, in the comics, Deadpool DOES have a daughter, & while his whole . . . HIM means him settling down to be her dad is, uh, not really the best idea, he does do his best to actually be there for her, & he makes sure she knows he cares

True

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

Deadpool is Merc!Chloé’s Fun Uncle. He gets her to loosen up, gives her a chance to be a kid. Validates her feelings, lets her vent. But long-term, they’re a little too feral, they feed into each’s worse impulses, & Deadpool is aware enough to know he isn’t really the best choice of mentor for Chloé. That said, if he’s the ONLY option, I feel we’d eventually arrive at a Grunkle Stan-Pines Kids dynamic. It would just take awhile, with a rollercoaster of development in both directions.

ya know it's funny because the character I did yeet her at for this au is actually the 'irresponsible fun uncle' character but yeah I'm yeeting a kid at him so he goes 'guess I'm a dad now' and buckles down on it.

Which actually derails some of the plot lmao.

I mean. I read a fic where certain injuries during Akuma fights scar after being Cured, & it seemed to have something to do with Emotion Magic & Belief? Or like. Wounds you got as a direct result of the Akuma, like Miss Fortune's magic knives, would scar, as like. A result of the magic leaving a mark. But it was specific to smaller injuries, the bigger an injury, the more likely it was to be healed entirely, cause the Cure would prioritize something that could be seen as life-threatening.

might work too!

I have kept some injuries. I'm not sure when's the last time it came up, but Lucky's shoulder still hurts after Riposte. And this last HC chapter is gonna have Adrien's hand/arm aching for a while.

And I have mentioned before that with the Final Battle I want there to be a scar left.

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

what if there was a show where every character was gay and you had the token straight guy character who acted really stereotypical and was into cars beers and women and everyone was like OH STRAIGHT LARRY YOU’RE SO FUNNY AND STRAIGHT

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

Ok, so. I don’t know if it’s just cause Blood is Thicker is part of the CC series, so you’re worried about “repeating yourself”, so to speak, but things I think you could do (that would be fun to read):

- Moving into the dorms, meeting the class

- Himiko’s 1st day at U.A., Quirk Apprehension Test

- Quick overview of her first week, and how she feels about it

- the USJ (and/or the aftermath) from Himiko’s perspective

- Izuku & Himiko testing her Quirk

- Himiko starting to really notice a problem with her health (possibly in relation to testing her Quirk?)

- Sato & Yaomomo talk about how they have problems with nutrition because of their Quirks (blood sugar levels, & General calories, respectively) and any similarities fly right over Himiko’s head

- Himiko Attacking Sato and How that’s handled

- pov switch to the class, for their reactions and thoughts (holy shit, did Himiko get hit with a Quirk? Is this emerging PTSD??)

- the faculty try to work out what’s up with Himiko, the Saito incident gets brought up, teachers are getting suspicious of Himiko’s parents

- Himiko’s interactions with the class after The Incident, dealing with guilt and so on

- Himiko’s various hang ups on starting her “treatment plan” (any medicine she has to take, everyone trying to get her comfortable with drinking blood, the infamous “Capri Sun” incident, maybe just a bit of everyone trying each others wild and outrageous tastes in food)

- The Sports Festival (Any pertinent scenes, maybe Himiko gets a call from her parents after a match?)

- Himiko’s parents showing up, and getting arrested (was this a phone call, or did they actually show up, did they try to fight The arrest, so on and so forth)

Also, just … general friend fluff, bonding, tea parties, shopping, what Himiko’s dorm room looks like, any hobbies she feels comfy exploring now that she isn’t at her parents house, the beginnings of her crush on Hagakure, that sort of thing.

Though, I’d also get it if it makes more sense to make BiT a stand alone, and incorporate any other Himiko stuff into the bigger CC fic.

True!

Like there’s stuff I could do, I just don’t want to get too hung up on some things .

I went in the code again and saw the new Boop paws were vectors this time, so I converted them into some good sized pngs that are a little easier to work.

Save and share to boop your people later!

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

Reblog if your blog is boopable-safe so you can get all the (probably new) achievements. I don’t care about notes I just want boops

HAPPY EVE OF HALLOWEEN!!!🎃 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

IT'S ALMOST SPOOKY TIME

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

So, entirely off topic - in Owl House, let's say, for the sake of argument, Belos gets back to the Human realm as mostly human person. Like, just, he purges himself of all magic before he goes (& this doesn’t immediately kill him). Like, we'll just assume Luz & Co still manage to stop the Eclipse Genocide, but Belos still gets away. How long do you think he would actually last in the modern world? What is his reaction to just . . . everything??

Ya know.

I know people joke about 'he gets hit by a car' or 'he eats a hot chip and die'

But from what I've seen a lot of the Boiling Isles are equal in tech to the Human World. Obvs they have a Magic base rather than mechanical, but it's somewhat similar.

So I think he'd be fine functionality-wise but... I think he'd be very horrifed about it, believing it to be less that the Human World has progressed and more that he thinks Witches and Demons have 'infected' the realm with their accursed Magic

Overall I think he's going to either say or do something that gets his ass decked and arrested, horrified that Humans have changed so much and his views are so outdated

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

okay elaborating on my tags re: the bnha and family drama post because I was once again thinking about Izuku and Inko and how it's just them Izuku doesn't seem to have any grandparents and in Canon Izuku's dad is in limbo and ofc in CC we have both the Dad for One situation and the 'Hisashi is a fucker' situation.

But I was thinking more on Inko's family and like. Ya know what I don't wanna kill them there are far too many orphans in this series but I want to have a reason that Inko's not in contact with them and

tbh getting pregnant without being married is something young women can get disowned for. Especially if there's no chance to shotgun the wedding.

Debating on if there's ever reconciliation but if there is then it's funny as fuck because there's no way Inko's parents know what she's been up since they last talked to her so they're like ??????

[rachelsshowerthoughts]

Current favourite out of context line: "I don't suppose we could just leave the key to the dangerous, world-ending weapon inside the giant, island eating sky-whale? I mean, I could think of worse places to keep it . . . No? I thought not."

I mean. Ya got a point.

Miraculous Heroes Academia

Ok, other thought. This takes place concurrently with BNHA, so while Izuku & co are dealing with the LoV and AfO in Japan, Paris is dealing with supervillain Hawk Moth. Who is Gabriel Agreste, who has been blackmailed by AfO/The Order/The Supreme, who are basically holding Emilie hostage. Gabe Gets “given” a Quirk that allows him to briefly “possess” people & boost them (Akuma Lite, basically), but it only lasts a limited time. He has to use this Quirk to find a specific person, or just cause chaos, who knows, but because it isn’t his OG Quirk, it’s kinda fucking him up as his body tries to adjust.

the Miracuclass get dragged in mostly by accident, because a bunch of their classmates keep getting possessed, then the person ordering Gabe around hyperfocuses on them for some reason, so now Gabe has to try and figure out how to do this without going after his own son.

-

You know I kinda debated on whether or not like

On one hand, I don’t want Gabe to have an ‘out’ of him being forced into it

On the other hand, if there aren’t the Miraculous in this au then there’s no motivation for Gabe to go villain.

So. I was not aware I needed a fic of Bakugou getting a therapy dog. But it was awesome. Arlo the German Shepard is amazing, and I love him.
