#(his dad has a bunch of bastard sons)

🖊 + your first ever oc, for the oc ask game? 💛

this is a very fun suggestion actually because the first starwar oc I deliberately created was Latros, but the concept for the Da'ali twins came first, so I get to talk about both :]

a Latros fact for you is. in the village he grew up in there was a nightsister who'd been exiled from her clan because she wasn't force-sensitive. the other nightbrothers avoided her because she was considered a bad omen, but Latros didn't care and hung out with her all the time. she's the one who taught him how to fight with a whip and I might turn her into a proper oc someday but for now she exists only as a backstory fun fact from a paragraph I deleted in a thing I never finished writing

a Da'ali twins fact for you is. they aren't identical twins, they only look the same because individuality isn't a priority for them, they don't feel like they have to distinguish themselves from each other. it's easier to just. cut their hair the same and share clothes and armor parts (and answer to each other's names) and stuff. you'll find out who's who when one of them pulls a knife at you (that would be Viti) (probably)

and a bonus non star wars ocs fact is. my first/oldest oc in general is a freak currently known as Nul, who's been living inside my brain for well over a decade. I can't remember his original name anymore but he was originally a space pirate because I have always been obsessed with spaceship adventures. currently it is a sort of evil god entity exiled from its original dimension for attempted regicide, and single parent (starfish style) of two daughters

Thinking about a comedic "Star Wars" fic premise that could be either DinLuke or BobaLuke, not as an "OTP happily ever after" thing for either pairing, more as a series of ill-conceived hook-ups that everyone involved wishes were a little less emotionally complicated, actually.

Because the basic (been done before, I'm sure) premise of "I fucked a 19yo in Mos Eisley's only gay bar, that's kind of embarassing for me..." -> "I hate it when a past hook-up becomes a- MULTI-MILLION CREDIT bounty??? What the hell??? He killed HOW MANY people???" -> "Oh, fuck me, he's DARTH VADER'S SON!!!" works for either Boba or Din.

The flavor of the fic is of course extremely different for each pairing. Boba Fett is much more of an asshole, especially at this point in time, but he also has a lot of really interesting connections to Luke's past / family (Boba is SWEATING during his later meetings with Darth Vader). (He fucked a Jedi??? He fucked ANAKIN SKYWALKER'S kid??? Darth Vader is Skywalker??? Shit.) So, that has the potential to go to angstier places. DinLuke is just more likely to happen in the first place and also keep happening, because Din is less of a bastard and, you know, not canonically working for Jabba the Hutt or Darth fucking Vader.

(They're both 10+ years older than Luke, so you can make terrible helmeted daddy issues jokes about this silly situation either way.)

Because I enjoy fic premises based on how funny they are to me personally, I settled on both of these pairings. It's too funny to imagine Boba ("I'm too fucking old for this shit") Fett and Din ("The helmet has to stay ON during sex") Djarin having a "WAIT, HIM TOO???" moment in the middle of a firefight between Luke's little rebel friends and a bunch of other bounty hunters sent after them by Luke's shitty Sith Lord dad.

And Luke's friends, in between shooting at all of these competing bounty hunters, are like, "How do you already have TWO bounty hunter EXES out for your ass??? I thought you were only 20? 21?? And that you never even left Tatooine before you joined the Rebellion???" And Luke can only be like, "I lived near a spaceport, okay??? I'm SORRY that the only good club was in a wretched hive of scum and villainy called MOS EISLEY!"

Han Solo, pressed up against some crates for cover: "Look, kid, the criminal underworld doesn't have a lot of hard rules, but some things are just common sense... Don't fuck bounty hunters!!!"

Luke, sitting beside him: "Do we really have to do this now?"

Leia, on Luke's other side, leaning in as she pulls out a thermal detonator: "Who RAISED you??? Didn't anyone ever tell you never to sleep with Mandalorians???"

Luke: "Why would your parents even think to warn you about that?"

[clownhara]

is there like a jester ocs 101 i do wanna learn about them

Putting these under a read more because this might get long

My family :)

Edward Roberts-Rosales: I made too many jokes about this bastard being my dad and now he's my dad. High key wants to fuck plants. Evades taxes like no ones business. Kind of a shit guy but it's funny to watch him mess up everything so we keep him alive for that alone Max Rosales: My better dad. Can really do so fucking much better than Edward but he settled </3. Is a plant man. Likes baking. Is the dad that actually loves me. Heron Rosales: I don't do to much with her but I'm trying to do more. Max's trans sister. Wants Edward dead and honestly, we don't blame her. Average chronic pain haver tbh please get her some Ibuprofen. Boaty McBoatface: My brother who is a boat. Edwards favorite son, despite being terrified of being on boats after he was the sole survivor of a ship wreck. I fuckinh hate this thing

Project Moon adjacent ones

Despise Domek (Or just Des): Local Enkphalin hooked rat. Goes by it/they but people close to it can call them she/her. There are two remaining people who can call them she/her. Steals things from people it likes to keep a piece of them, so don't invite them to your house. Things WILL go missing. Says the phrase "Well it didn't kill me so I'm fine" way to god damn often. Ambrose Domek: Not actually related to Des at all his parents just stole Des's parents last name. We heart religious fanaticism to the point of self harm!!!!!! Has two boyfriends and has convinced himself neither of them like him. Him and Des are besties :) Keith: Real Jester-heads remember Keith. I made this bastard before Ruina came out and he keeps fucking staying relevant to whatever game is out. How does he do it. Lobcorp him is Geb and Myo's adopted son, a Rabbit, and had a complex where he's gotta prove himself 24/7 and ends up getting his leg ripped off. Ruina him is trying to find Gebura again after the whole Library situation happened, and is wildly distraught after learning Myo's whole deal. Limbus Keith is content, much older, runs a weapons shop, and is gay married to Heathcliff. Jesus Christ I made him before the new translation of Lopcorp happened I think HOW LONG HAS HE EXISTED WHAT THE FUCK

Damien Domek: Also not related to Des, just took it's last name because he liked it. They are qprs though. Also is broke as shit but mostly stays out of the Rat lifestyle by just old fashioned robbing people. Loves lying to people for fun and profit, but he is honestly a pretty nice guy. Minus the lying

Randos

Arlo: Disgusting rancid cyborg scientist who needs to bathe and touch grass. I adore him though. Ellie: Arlos little sibling. She/they user. Kills people for money and feeds the bodies to the eldritch horror that follows her around Hector: The eldritch horror that follows Ellie around. usually just looks like a dilf tbh its easier for Ellie to explain. Can't actually speak so he usually just talks telepathically while making a bunch of hums, chirps, and clicks to mimic speaking.

Oleander: Local unethical scientist that unethicaled a bit too hard when trying to revive his even worse older brother and turned off most of his emotions manually to avoid coping with the mental toil. Sad! Many such cases. Can't feel any emotions other then joy now. Kinda sucks but he certainly doesn't seem to upset about it :)

Simon: Oleadners brother. Kinda. Moreso a robot piloting Oleanders brothers body. Fucking hates Oleander but after Oleander lobotomized himself Simon begrudgingly takes care of him now. Despite his complicated feelings, he's wildly overprotective.

Cybel: A robot Oleander made! They are meant to gather as much information as they possibly can in case some horrible event happens that kills off humanity. is quite literally indestructible. Likes ice cream.

Octavius: I made this guy to be a danganrompa villain back in high school and I succeeded too well. I fucking hate this fake ass bitch

Tabb: This fucking guy. Trapped in a time loop but he doesn't know and its technically not a time loop. Met his (now) husband ages ago but died shortly after meeting him, so he revived Tabb, then the two got married, then Tabb died again so Halt (the husband) revived him again but he lost his memories then halt died and Tabb revived him the Tabb died again so Halt revived him but he lost all his memories so they dated again and got remarried then Tabb died again and you get the idea. Very nice guy, a bit anxious, perfectly normal minus the dying thing. If it wasn't for him losing all his memories and Halt tampering with shit so he was in love with him i uh. Don't think he'd actually like Halt all that much tbh

Halt: Just wants to be happy with his husband :(. Sad he unethicaled all over that science. Hey are you noticinga theme here. Also he's a cat boy but thats really not relevant to his depression issues

Urge: Halts kinda milfy twin sister. Really sick of all of this loop bullshit because she gets to watch her bestie Tabb die repeatedly, so she packed up her bags and left. Can't be in the same room as Halt without them getting into a fist fight. Do you see the themeing with their namesan d their ideals. Halt is kinda halted in place but Urge keeps pushing forward because she has the urgeto move on. Do you see it. It is almost 1 am

Russel: A kid that got roped into this whole mess because he walked in on a Tabb revival tube without permission. Sticks around Urge most of the time. Had a bad homelife to put it mildly, so Urge took him in.

Theres way more of these bastards but these are the most relevant ones. I am going to bed now. Goobnight

Rhys’ Father/The Former High Lord of Night

I want a chapter where Rhys figures out his father wasn’t a bastard. The man’s version of a punishment to a bunch of teenage Illyrians warriors who ran naked through Velaris was to walk down and up the steps of the house of wind. Keir’s version of a punishment to his daughter for having premarital sex was to torture and nail a nail through her womb, Beron’s version of a punishment to his son for loving a lesser fae was to torture and kill the female in front of his son. Rhys dad was just an older version of Rhys. The high lords of Night have always been on the receiving end of bad luck. Rhys even said everything I love gets taken from me. And well what if the same was true for his dad. His dad didn’t find his mate till he was 900+ yrs old. His dad didn’t bring children into the world till he had a mate bond. Rhys father who instead of yelling at his daughter to leave the bridge would just pick her up and carry her home. That is not a bastard of a father. Rhys says his father separated him and his friends because he was afraid of their powers and them coupe against him but truthfully they were entering into a extremely volatile war, where every small weakness would be used against any political pawn, which Rhys is a political pawn and his 2 best friends will be his biggest weakness. So he sent Cassian to lesser legion as a grunt where he was not in the worst of the battles and he kept Az near himself not only for the spy intel but also to keep him away from the battle. Rhys though needed to go to battle and learn to be a leader to his future army. So yes I hope Rhys has this epiphany that his dad was actually a really good parent and leader.

Also by ensuring Cassian and Az did not enter extremely violent war combat he made sure his son entered his high lord era with the 2 most powerful Illyrian at his side to help lead his court and armies. By having Az spy for him he taught him how to master his spying abilities. By having Cassian be a grunt in a lesser Illyrian legion he made sure Cassian knew how he wanted to change the Illyrian war camps and armies. He ensured Rhys had the best most well rounded and intelligent circle of friends as support during his reign. He made sure Rhys was safe to delegate his responsibilities so he had less stress on his shoulders which allowed him to be more in tune to his people’s needs and made sure he felt free to have fun and find love and have a family he can be hands on with. Something his father probably didn’t have the luxury of having.

anyone want to hear my six of crows x jane austen's emma au. yes of course you do don't be silly. the only person allowed to be silly is me as I descend into madness in the course of trying to cast this. (if you think 'I've heard this before' yes I've posted abt it before tho I think it was on my main)

kaz is emma, a bored, overintelligent rich bitch stuck in a country house with a bunch of shit idiot neighbours and almost no one to entertain or match him. fucking useless dad per haskell / mr woodhouse is a weaksauce hypochrondriac, and jordie / isabella has gone and got married and ditched kaz, the bastard. the only consolation is their neighbour inej / mr knightley, who is rich, sensible, popular, and elegible as hell... glory be, an intellectual equal for kaz!

in order to be less bored, kaz takes on a protege, mysterious randomer and natural son wylan / harriet smith, who kaz decides to mould in his own image and make a good match for. wylan is in love with gentleman farmer jesper / robert martin, but kaz is a snob and tries to push him towards local vicar kuwei / mr elton (I KNOW. I'M SORRY KUWEI), but that all goes tits up bc turns out kaz is a fucking terrible matchmaker, who'd've known.

meanwhile, unassuming and a little cold, but locally well-liked matthias / jane fairfax has arrived back in the village, and kaz busily commences hating on him because he's another accomplished young man and he makes him feel inadequate. hot on his heels comes the mysterious nina / frank churchill (NINA I'M SO SORRY I FUCKING HATE FRANK BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR THE COUPLES YOU CAN BE A NICE FRANK CHURCHILL ): ), who kaz is kind of fascinated by and enjoys sparring with, and hence kind of misses the really obvious signs that nina and matthias are secretly engaged, even though inej, ever thief of secrets, has lowkey noticed something's up, like matthias getting mysterious gifts from someone. kaz ends up being convinced that possibly it's inej that's pursuing matthias, which nina encourages because it helps her cover, and kaz kinda panics.

everyone has petty village drama which culiminates when kaz sneers at pekka rollins / miss bates (LISTEN. LI actually you don't need to listen bc I laughed out loud when I thought of this comparison but hear me out, if you just think of it as the equivalent of the church of barter scene except instead of 'I buried him' it's 'when have you ever stopped at three?' it kind of works. sorry to miss bates tho who is still kinda my fave austen character) at box hill, which culminates in inej going BOY WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM and kaz is like wow she kind of has a point should I be a better person :/

uhh what else even happens. there's a ball after nina massively encourages one, inej saves wylan from being partnerless and later dances with kaz (think of the gloveless dance scene from the 2020 adaptation? yeah? yeahh??). the regency gender conventions here are getting so messed up lmao, never mind. in emma harriet fancies herself in love with mr knightley and emma is forced to realise that she likes him, so let's say that wylan pretends to be after inej, in order to strong arm kaz into realising that he's wanted to marry inej this entire time. wylan's dad turns out to be minted (I'm stretching the book here to make it work w SOC but never mind) but that's after kaz has admitted he fucked up and sent wylan off to marry gentleman farmer jesper, yaaay. nina's relatives who are stopping her from marrying matthias die and hence there's a massive revelation with 'oh they were engaged this whole time lol', kaz is PISSED bc he didn't clock it. uh. everyone gets married and now kaz can escape the shit village and actually go places. the end.

[slimegirl-scientist]

Cutie Honey is a difficult franchise to love.

this probably does not come as a surprise to anyone at all familiar with Go Nagai’s work.

he writes about his passions: boobs, violence, and the mechanical. notice how nowhere in there did I mention “women.” Cutie Honey is one of the first magical girl properties out there, but reading the original makes it very clear that Go Nagai wanted an excuse to write about a catholic high school student who was frequently naked more than anything else. the original run also has an incredibly gross lesbian stereotype, even if it does feature Sister Jill explicitly having a crush on Honey. Aki Natsuko, Honey's recurring best friend, does not survive the manga either. all of the men in Cutie Honey (Danbei, his son Junpei, and Seiji Hayami) exist to objectify and sexually harass Honey, no matter what form. it’s a mess.

I’ve specifically been watching Cutie Honey Flash as of late. Flash took over Sailor Moon’s time slot and a lot of its animation staff after Sailor Stars ended and you can tell. it’s stylish, it’s gorgeous, and it’s hand animated. that’s not where my problems lie with it. watching early Sailor Moon makes me think the show is more about Tuxedo Mask saving Usagi from her own incompetence more than Sailor Moon learning how to use her powers. this isn't to say that women cannot be bad at things, more that it feels the show centers him during fights more than her because he's usually the one to end them. Cutie Honey Flash takes this up to 11. not only does Seiji show up most of the time, there's also the Twilight Prince who bestows knowledge on Honey as well as her father who appears at the end of a story arc to basically say "you haven't suffered enough and we need another 15-20 episodes. peace." it's very frustrating to have a show about such a capable character undermined by centering it around a bunch of men.

Flash was very much made to carry the Sailor Moon torch. those brave bastards at Toei thought they could sanitize Cutie Honey enough for that specific audience and I applaud their efforts. it didn't really work. what they did succeed at is making the show incredibly straight. Seiji is less of a creep in this version, but he's billed as a "young adult" who has a job as an investigative journalist who just… hangs out around a high school? kinda rubs me the wrong way as Honey is 16 in high school (at least in the original). you're expected to ship Honey and Seiji as early as episode 3 where Honey is defending wedding dresses from Panther Claw operatives and appears to be excited by getting straight married with him. the climax of the series is a confession of love between the two in episode 37.

by far the most frustrating part of Flash has been the second arc. after 13.9 episodes of straight hell, the show teases a new character (because long time antagonist Sister Jill has just died). you don't get to see her until the next episode. said episode, "The Entrance of a Mysterious Warrior! Prelude to A New Destiny," episode 14, is some of the gayest shit I've ever seen. I cannot accurately describe my reaction to seeing this episode after assuming (correctly) that the series would be terminally straight. Seira Hazuki, or Misty Honey, is introduced as a foil to the Honey Kisaragi we know and love. she is incredible. instead of having a heart choker, she has a gemstone on a thigh strap and pulls up her already very short skirt before transforming. she wins a rapier duel against Honey Kisaragi and again against Cutie Honey. Cutie Honey with a blade held to her chin on the ground is not something I will soon forget. her lavender hair (and blue while transformed) contrasts Honey's perfectly.

Seira is sadistic, angry, full of hatred, manipulative, sensual, just generally the best thing ever. she and Honey share an origin in that they're both artificial humans created by Honey's dad. Seira makes this known very clearly. she spends all of episode 14 besting Honey in everything while adoringly referring to her as "onee-sama." this is the first time in the entire show that I remember Honey blushing so much. she spends half of episode 16 beating the shit out of Honey with tennis balls. she cannot transform into different disguises as Honey can, but Misty Honey is noticeably stronger than Cutie Honey and has a different finisher move. Cutie Honey's "Honey Lightning Flare" has nothing on Misty's "Honey Sexy Dynamite," which zooms in on her lips as she whispers "sexy." it's fantastic.

but she's a queercoded villain. her personality is described as being a byproduct of being raised by Panther Claw, quote "with no love given to her." love a good homophobic trope, especially on the character constantly spouting a yuri calling card. as much as I adore her, she is the only character who really says "onee-sama" on the regular. and, of course, she dies. her death acts as a power up for Honey because she also has an Atmospheric Condenser or whatever the show calls the magic choker. the ultimate show of spite for me specifically is that the last episode of Cutie Honey Flash is a 3-year time skip. Honey and Seiji are about to be married. their child is named Seira Hazuki. women should not be made to be mothers like this. the show made my favorite character a symbol of cishet normativity. I will be mad forever.

it feels like this idea should be a slam dunk. Cutie Honey at its core is about a woman who is a bit of a trickster, is talented with a sword, and has to learn how to love and survive after dying and being remade as an android. something about women made to be weapons learning how to be human resonates with me as a trans woman. she and Aki Natsuko are frequently shown as joined at the hip, Sister Jill has an undeniable crush on her, and Seira Hazuki exists. there's more than enough legroom to write a sapphic and trans version of this story without having to change much of anything. unfortunately, Go Nagai cannot be trusted with any of the intellectual properties he creates. the men in the series feel like they exist to rob Honey of agency and reduce her to eye candy.

if you’re at all interested in Cutie Honey, just watch Re: and the self-titled live action. Hideaki Anno knows what he’s doing and I believe he believes these girls are gay. Cutie Honey a Go-Go is also fun and has a similar flavor but will forever be unfinished.

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT

PRE-PRELIMINARY #19

Submission 55

Tohru Adachi is a better character than Goro Akechi

[SUBMITTED JUSTIFICATION UNDER THE CUT]

Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!

Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure! (exposure like when your exposed to critical levels of radiation)

They're both terrible people but P4 doesn't try to justify Adachi's actions even if you pick the accomplice ending and side with him, meanwhile P5 constantly goes 'but he was sad tho :( his daddy doesn't love him so he's allowed to kill ppl' after the reveal that Akechi's the traitor. Also I did the math and in the cutscene where the train gets derailed alone Akechi killed at least 100x more people than Adachi did in the entire game. There's nothing wrong with liking evil characters (IMO) but acting like they're sweet innocent babies is lame

Adachi and Akechi have similar roles in the story. They’re both the subject of the main mystery of their respective games, the killer and the traitor, and in order to hide their involvement, they have fake detective personas (lowercase p personas not Personas). The issue is that while Adachi’s fake personality is a lovable dork who goofs off work by hanging out in the lobby of a department store, “accidentally” leaks critical information about the case to a bunch of teenagers, and has a weird friendship with an old lady who thinks he’s her son, Akechi's is just generic “crime bad, criminals bad” detective man with zero substance to any of his interactions with the main cast outside of literally all of them fucking hating him (the correct and morally right response to Akechi talking to you). But that’s just their fake personalities, right? It’s totally fine for a completely false, constructed persona to be a little shallow, right? Well Akechi’s real personality is just as bad. I already mentioned how his entire motivation is “Waah my dad doesn’t love me so I’m gonna help him achieve his goals then kill him” which is completely fucking stupid by the way just kill the dude and be done with it if thats what you’re gonna do anyway man, but his personality boils down to ‘generic angsty villain whos gonna get a completely undeserved redemption arc’ (thankfully cognitive Akechi killed him before that could happen, the one good thing he did and it wasn’t even really him). Adachi’s real personality is completely unhinged, his big motivation speech can be summed up as “ACAB!” “But you’re a cop!?” YEAH AND I’M A TOTAL BASTARD WHAT PART OF THAT DON’T YOU GET!?” You love to hate him, and that’s what makes a good antagonist, not feeling sorry for him because his dad doesn’t love him. Guess what Akechi, a lot of people's dads don’t love them and none of them became domestic terrorists to try to regain his love and respect!

And you might think that I’m exaggerating with how the player is supposed to sympathise and eventually forgive Akechi, but after he explains his awful motivation, the first person to extend a hand of sympathy is Haru, the girl who’s father Akechi murdered in front of her like two months prior. The second person is Futaba, who spent her entire adolescence traumatised because she thought she was such a shitty daughter that it drove her mother to suicide BECAUSE AKECHI KILLED HER MOTHER IN FRONT OF HER (the dude’s consistent I’ll give him that.)

[preydefiler]

Hey you should tell me about your OCs :3

!!!!!! OKAY YES I have a bunch so I'll post a few snippets, let's see ........

one of my favs is Xanthippe "Xan" Greenbriar, human, she/her. Xan was a shipwright who got a little too drunk one night and beat the shit out of a noble who mouthed off to her at the bar. She had to leave her life behind to escape the nobles twisted "justice", and made a living as a pugilist, basically a boxer, mercenary/prize fighter. Hardcore lesbian, Xan's one big ex is a triton noble woman who wants Xan to be a part of her peaceful protests, but Xan refuses because she believes the nobility won't listen to peace. She has a criminal record of starting riots. I love her

another one is my slime girl wizard oc, Oragrace Olivaun, who was born human, but after her arch wizard father abandoned her and her sick, dying mother, she began to experiment with magic to increase her power. After her mother died, she taught herself magic through stolen wizarding books, did crimes for money, and experimented on herself to make herself strong enough to kill her dad, who she later found out had been experimenting on her mother which is why she died!!! there's a version of her who finds peace through recovering a forgotten god that finds her a new family <3

oh oh, or what about Valos Copperheart, a dwarf man who was the bastard son of the last Dwarf king before the dwarven city was destroyed. He set out on a quest to restore his family's honor and name after discovering a family heirloom intelligent hammer. He, his half brother, and his best friend (who he falls in love with and married) travel across the land and rebuild the dwarven city. His OTHER half brother who is half dwarf half elf is his rival for the throne of the city, but they come to a compromise and end up working together, until Valos gets assassinated, brought back to life as an undead, breaks that bond and is granted home in dwarf Valhalla

okay that's enough for now I hope you like :3

[15-lizards]

After your last post about Westeros sonas I am sooooo curious about yours please tell us more give us the goss. I wanna learn more about that Bolton girl she sounds insane (complimentary)

When anyone asks about my ocs/sonas my love for them grows ten times bigger 🫶

1. Cassana Bolton weirdest little freak ever. She is such a sweet and gentle girl but no one ever knows what the fuck she’s talking about. Got Autism On Lock even when she’s not speaking in prophecies and riddles. In my made up Westeros Roose is father of the year to her actually, he’s #1 Girl Dad and she idolizes him bc we love healthy father daughter relations here. Her prophecies come to her randomly and usually come true (catch it Melisandre) even if they are hard to decipher. People come to her from all over asking for their fortunes and fates, and they usually leave confused. One time she met a trader from Pentos and told him his future so he gave her a Little Valyrian as payment so now she just has a lemur on her wherever she goes. Roose brings her along when the war starts, and she gives Robb cryptic advice which he takes seriously bc he respects weird women, and Cat thinks she’s like a strange little pet (affectionate). She has a vision of the red wedding but Roose makes her keep it to herself and she kinda starts to slip a bit after that whoops

2. Magda Baratheon my most beloved. Youngest sister of the Baratheon bros just push the whole “finding Rhaegar a wife in Essos” scenario a few years. Bold and stubborn and classically Baratheon hard headed with a sharp whit and sharper tongue to cover up her Loneliness 💔😔 raised in the Red Keep after Robert took the throne but never really had any sort of parental figures. Robert didn’t care enough to raise her, Stannis was more like a strict and distant uncle who just made sure she was being properly primed for an eventual marriage, and Renly only thought about her occasionally, coming and giving her gifts and some attention before getting bored. Became very sociable to make up for this. Runs the red keep insane with her clique of other noble sons and daughters and all their youthful shenanigans (along with her three giant hounds she named after the conquerors dragons). She drives Cersei up the fucking wall but Tyrion thinks she’s the best. After the events of GOT, she goes to Renly but after he gets murked Stannis comes to take custody of her, eventually selling her north for a marriage alliance. Despises her husband, but he takes the threats beyond the wall seriously, and supplies men and arms, leading them to spend most of their time practically living there. She has to give birth at the fucking wall TWICE and they’re both daughters so her husband doesn’t really gaf. However Snow Patrol become her good friends and are the Fathers Who Stepped Up. Also I have a fucked up idea where something tragic happens and one of her daughters dies and she realizes it’s her husbands fault but he is just like we can have another kid and she goes batshit and stabs him before RIPPING HIS FUCKING THROAT OUT WITH HER TEETH because I just like the image of this lone, feral mother with blood dripping down her face like an animal as she kneels over the corpse of her husband while a bunch of nights watch men surround her in horror

3. Some more in the works in my brain: Benjen’s almost bastard daughter, Gregor’s two young and severely fucked up daughters, Dance era Tarth who’s homoeroticly loyal to Rhaenyra, a couple salt wives for Yara, and Lannister cousin who would’ve been a Maester if she was born a man (trans masc Lan incoming?)

[robiinurheart33]

Thinking of army dreamers by Kate bush and soap’s family hearing about his death - especially his mom.

I don’t really know how this death announcement would go, but I think it’s either by call or in person. For the sake of this post, imagine it’s in person. As much as I’d like for ghost to be there to maximise the angst potential, I hate mischaracterisation and I really think he wouldn’t be there.

I can’t imagine anyone other than price who would announce the news. He was soap’s captain after all, and he would feel the most responsible for him. ( esp because he could have prevented his death if only he let soap kill makarov right then and there but we’re getting off track-)

I know most people like to think soap has a good family who he loves, but going by the lore from his backstory I feel like he would have problems at least with some parts of his family due to him running off to the army at such a young age. I like to headcanon that he has a bunch of problems with his dad; it’s like they weren’t related at all, if bit by most of his features being a carbon copy on soap’s face. (He hates it with his entire being.) but he gets along just fine with the rest of his family. He loves his ma, no matter how much he can’t understand why she got married to him, and has a loving but slightly strained relationship with his sisters (2). They never know what to do with soaps explosive personality, how to calm him down, how to prevent the arguments from getting worse. His father passed a few years after soap signed up for SAS, dying from alcohol poisoning and lung cancer as a cherry on top. Soap wasn’t there to wish him goodbye.

When the knock happened on the door, his Ma was listening to the radio, almost missed the knock, if not for it knocking again, sharper, harder. Elaine MacTavish liked to pride herself on knowing her children more than they knew themselves. So when she awoke a few days ago, covered in a cold nervous sweat and a tightening in her chest, her mind pricking ands searching for what could possibly be wrong. She had phoned her kids right away, knowing she wouldn’t come in touch with her John-boy, he had told her he might be uncontactable foe a few days, he had sounded tired, but excited. “Finally puttin’ tha sick bastard to hell, this time Ma I swear.” He sounded so resolute, her precious boy. As she dried her hands on a towel, uneasiness feeling from a few days ago still not settled, the from door clicked open with a slight squeak from old age and rust, seeing her boy’s captain standing there like a stone figure. Elaine knows army boys were rough, her son’s task force even rougher. she had once thought that with pride swelling in her chest which now deflated and left a pit in her stomach as the captain of that exact Taskforce seemed like a sad puppy with his tail between his legs.

Elaine knew how hard her son had become; she had been there since his soft chubs melted into awkward, lanky limbs that had eventually hardened into sharp edges, 5 o’clock shadows, more and more scars littering her baby boy. It had been too much, it was almost too much. But every time he had come home with a blinding smile, the mischievous twinkle in his eye every time he replies with “that’s confidential.” to his family’s curious questions, the flush if excitement on his face when he talks about all the amazing places and people he’s met, it made all her worries melt away. It had made it worth it. But one part of her thought that he was somehow invincible, he was going to be honourably discharged with numerous glittering medals and a beautiful wife at his elbow (lmao) and live a long and happy life. She supposes that if she considered anything else, she wouldn’t know how to bear with the pure agonising despair that would wreck her already frail body. John’s confidence was contagious, the way she had so blindingly believed that her son was invincible. She doesn’t believe that anymore.

So Mr. H does have super speed but he chooses not to use it anymore for...reasons.

Not I'm imagining a reason why he would use it again, Name someone very, very stupid kidnapping Tails and trying to use the boy against him.

At this point people either don't know or have forgotten how fast Mr. H is so it'll probably be some young gangbanger or something that thinks he's hot shit who heard about the infamous crime lord Mr. H adopting some freak kid with two tails he lets wonder to and from school without protection and thought "I bet I could ransom the little shit and clean out that fat idiot for everything he's worth."

So he kidnaps Tails with a bunch of his boys and messages Mr. H to come to some old warehouse alone with $100M in cash "or else he'll pop the little mutant's head open like a melon."

Mr. H shows up with a brief case and tosses it over but they find it's empty.

"What the fuck is this you stupid muthafucker?" Thug askes while pressing his gun against Tails temple who's actually starting to feel scared now and is tearing up. "We told you 100 mil or the kid dies!"

Mr. H says nothing, he just gives that manic grin we all know and love, his eyes glowing green before he raises his hand and snaps his fingers.

Instantly everyone around the Thug is down on the ground, beaten and broken and Mr. H has him pinned to the ground with his own gun pressed against the back of his head.

"It seems you stupid little bastards forgot what my first name is." Before either popping him in the back of the head or knocking him out with a pistol whip so Tails doesn't see it and have his men gather everyone up so he can...deal with them later.

Tails would just be amazed that his dad can move so fast and asks him why he doesn't use his powers more often. Mr. H will just sigh as say maybe some other day he'll tell him.

That’s a cool scenario!

If it’s one thing Mr. H does want to keep away from his son finding out, is his super speed and stuff like that. And I don’t think he plans on telling him soon or what not. But there have been times to where Mr. H has used his speed to help out Miles, and his son not even noticing!

For exa a school scenario:

It’s recess and all the kids are playing by usual, tho Miles likes to be by himself since none of the other kids understand him…or like him. So while Miles is just minding his business, probably trying to plan out a little invention in the dirt, a couple kids show up and start pickin on him.

Now with what I mentioned before w/ Mr. H pulling up every-time recess starts to watch over his son, he sees that his son is gettin picked on and ofc that’s gonna piss him off. In a heartbeat, Mr. H jumps out of the car through the window! And in a blink of an eye, he’s towering over the kids pickin on his son.

Miles wasn’t even aware how his dad got from the car, to towering over the kids so fast. He’s only seen him walk over, wagging his finger at them, scolding them. So he doesn’t understand how he got there so fast.

After everything was settled tho, Miles got to go home and in the car, he asked his dad abt it. Mr. H just told him “not to worry about it.” And that has left Miles with so many questions.

Do you think the Bridgerton storylines and relationships would have been different if The Bridgertons weren't a titled family, or rich but the spouses were?

Weirdly had this thought after watching the latest Magic Mike movie 😅 that somehow led to me wondering about Bridgerton and the divide between the wealthy and poor.

Current thoughts: ok so let's go Modern Au, because icbf with the regency rules and proprietry.

Bridgertons are like Modern Au Weasley family/ Cheaper by the dozen vibes.

Simon: Still the son of a Duke, canon backstory with Anthony being his best mate. They met at a fancy boarding school but Ant was a scholarship kid. In attempt to escape his Aunt's matchmaking schemes, he propses a fake relationship with the waitress he'd just witnessed sucker punch a rowdy customer. Unaware of just how inevitable their meeting truly was.

Kate: known cold stone Heiress to her late Father's company. An active workaholic who is always triggered into fight mode by that 'Bridgerton bastard' who works for her good Friend Simon (cbf thinking of proper roles rn😂😅)

Sophie: After her dad died, she's surprised to learn he named her his official heir despite her illegitimacy and only left a stipend for her step family in his will. Forced to go into hiding after multiple murder attempts, she has a fateful encounter with a struggling art student and becomes his unwilling muse.

Penelope: The Featheringtons are high class old money folk, but Pen is desperate to escape the suffocating lifestyle she's been born into. She wants to branch out make a name for herself with her own hard done work to thank not some dead ancestors lucky gamble in investment and business. Thank the gods for the charming bartender who's become the listening ear she's desperately needed all her life.

Phillip: Mostly similar cannon backstory. Except the children are his brothers and they do indeed need a nanny. Eloise didn't even know what she applied for. All she knew was she'd get a free room(no dorm expenses) free food (no meal expenses) and no transport fees (uni was only a 40 minute walk!). What a deal, and it'll keep Anthony off her case about finances!! How hard of a babysitting job could it be?

As far as I got, but would love to hear if you or anyone else has any other thoughts to share or add 😁😁

Magic Mike, lmao. I should probably watch that series if it's giving people ideas. But yeah I do think it would definitley change some dynamics espcially since three, four if we count the tv series, of the spouses came from not okay money situations.

Saphne: So for this I can still see it going as a mutually beneficial fake relationship for both. Hear me out, sex historian Daphne. It's a newer field and newly graduated Daphne is working to help get it off the ground with social media, but she doesn't have much time due to her long hours as a waitress. In comes Simon, her brother's best friend, who allows her the chance to help boost her following. Everyone would be curious about Simon Basset's new boo, and Simon will get his aunt off his back about finding love. Anthony orinally doesn't want his sister in the limelight like that but he does eventually consent when Daphne starts pulling in numbers and can leave her waitress jobs where a bunch of creaps like to come. Oops they fell in love.

Kathony: I can see this going one of two ways, the first being something similar that anon wrote, or mistress Anthony. Anthony works with Simon in his law firm, with hopes to open up his own practice one day, but that's a far off dream with seven siblings, five who are helping with the bills, and a mother to help support. Kate's frustrated with her job as the heiress to her father's company. She's needs a release. That lawyer Simon keeps sending looks handsome enough and one hate sex night later Anthony is now Kate's mistress. There's no way this is gonna backfire on either of them right?

Benophie: Hear me out, makeup artist Benedict. His true talent lies in painting, but that doesn't pay the bills. He's good with a brush, and once in a while, he gets to have fun with special effects makeup. Sophie is being paraded around as the new Pennwood heiress, despite her suspicious birth. Her stepmother is doing everything in her power to have the media downplay Sophie and her ability to be the heiress to Pennwood by getting every makeup artist to purposely make Sophie look horrible. Having enough Sophie calls her friends for a makeup artist her stepmother hasn't sunk her claws in. Enter Benedict. Benedict works his magic and makes Sophie look fabulous for her next interview. Sophie has found her new makeup artist, and Benedict has found his new muse.

Polin: Penelope is from old money, and she hates it. She feels trapped and suffocating from all the rules she has to follow. She wants to leave and make something of her own. Her friend Colin, who she met in a writer's group, jokes she can write a tell all book. That earns him a sock in the arm from Penelope, who refuses to become a stereotype. Colin wants to see the world one day. Travel to far off places, explore the culture, and most importantly, try the food. Penelope thinks he has what it takes to be a travel writer. He's shared what he wrote when in his journal during the rare family outing to the beach, and it almost felt like you were there. Well Penelope has more money than she knows what to do with and knows about running a blog. She might not what to do with herself but she can help somebody else. Who knows maybe she'll get some inspiration. Hey Colin, how would you feel about a trip to the Mediterranean?

Philoise: Throw them in the plot of the Nanny, and there's the modern philoise au. But on a serious note, Eloise doesn't even know what she applied for, all she knew is that the benefits were perfect. Needing a nanny for the weekend, Phillip hires Eloise on a test run. Her methods are unconventional, but Oliver and Amanda haven't scared her off. Phillip would almost dare to say they like her, and Phillip might like her too.

And that's all I got for now too. Lovelies join in if you want!

My Problem With Prongsfoot

This is going to be an anti post because my feed is full of posts about these two, even though I block them all the time.

And it's not like I want to hurt anyone personally, it's just that this pairing with THESE characters is my pain.

It's not that I'm not a fan of the "friends to lovers" trope, I love the Albus/Scorpius, after all, but James Potter and Sirius Black? God, no.

I should probably say that I can't stand James Potter; I get physically uncomfortable whenever anyone spends more than a single word on him. He's a genuinely vile character who has no excuse for his actions, and who is adored by everyone in canon. I mean, he's a very real character. You can meet him at school, at work (as a boss, and if he doesn't like you, he will make your life a living hell, just for his own amusement), or anywhere else where he would be an equally bastard.

He is a character with a huge crown on his head, who believes that everything in the world is subject to his will, and he never changes. Whether he didn't have time to, because he died, or simply did not want to - the fact is, he has not changed. And that is my first problem.

And then there is Sirius Black, who adores him, who is ready to give his life for the glory of his friend, who never judges his actions, who completely relies on him. He is almost James's dog - he subjects himself to a punishment of 12 years because he believes himself guilty (even though he was responsible for Harry and could have escaped much earlier), he justifies it when Harry, his son, sees who James really is. You can interpret their relationship in canon in different ways (as almost-brothers or as unrequited love on Sirius' part) but the level of loyalty is just off the charts. And that's my second problem.

I'm not a fan of the dynamic where one character will never say the word "no" to their lover. And what's more, it literally locks Sirius in this, lol.

If these two stay together, then you're just watching happy sex and two pure-blooded nobles living their best life, where one is forever on a leash and is perfectly happy with it. If that's your food - okay.

But I need dynamics, some development. Themes that could be read about - grief, unrequited love, hard-won happiness. Prongsfoots doesn't have that - they're static, they never change because they don't need to. You can't imagine them living in the muggle world and dealing with the shit of common life because they don't need to! They have Grimmauld Place and Godric's Hollow - they're rich. Poverty? Radicalization? Friendship struggles, betrayal? None of it. They don't even need Remus and Peter, they can just stew in each other.

Speaking of Sirius Black: I always see his unhealthy love for James as an anchor that keeps him from developing his own path. Not that the canon Sirius ever wanted that, really, and not that James is a bad friend to him, it's just… He feels trapped. My assumption is that Sirius (who loved James for 7 years or so of school), if his best friend had lived, would have continued to love him. Like, it's not even my idea, but that's what he would have continued to do, right? Continue to love James, suffer silently, whine into his pillow, never seek out another relationship because he's too comfortable in his pain. That's insane.

Sirius is an interesting character in his own, he doesn't need the crutch of a wife who is his moral compass, or a bunch of friends who defend his honor. He's as hypocritical as James, but he has dynamics with other characters, with Harry, Severus, a fragile friendship with Remus, his obvious issues with his mom (and maybe dad), his relationship with Regulus.

James without Lily? A completely empty, disgusting character with zero empathy, oddly cruel to those who don't live up to his standards. James cheating on Lily with Sirius? This character can be made worse, but not better, lol. And that alone turns me off Prongsfoot.

Not that I want to demonize James Potter or Sirius Black, or fans of their pairing, I'm just expressing my "eww".

Do you guys have a favorite title ? Mine is Platonic Handjob because it's so fucking random i'm glad I put it in there lol

also idk if you guys noticed but i think there's a running theme in the pop culture i'm chosing for this story... truly is a mystery what theme is it (yes the school shooting theme represent Marco while the song titles represent Tristan, it's linked to both of their major special interests)

A penny for your thoughts on Hippodamia

KEEP YOUR MONEY, ANON. I'LL DO IT FOR FREE.

love her. love this evil bitch so much. obsessed with her 'i want that. so i will get it' energy.

i, personally, adhere to the narrative that hippodamia is the one responsible for her father's death and i'll explain why in a bit, but this has backing in apollodorus:

'So Pelops also came a-wooing; and when Hippodamia saw his beauty, she conceived a passion for him, and persuaded Myrtilus, son of Hermes, to help him; for Myrtilus was charioteer to Oenomaus.

Accordingly Myrtilus, being in love with her and wishing to gratify her, did not insert the linchpins in the boxes of the wheels, and thus caused Oenomaus to lose the race and to be entangled in the reins and dragged to death;...'

i mean, even here it's never confirmed that she wanted him dead, just that she wanted pelops to win. but i don't think she was that stupid, she had lost a lot of suitors because her dad was THAT good at racing. she probably would have been a little aware of what it would have taken to stop him.

WHY do i follow this narrative so strongly? and not the 'pelops conspiring' one - because it fits.

through a bunch of sources we are basically given a narrative that tells us pelops wanted to name chrysippus as his heir (and pelops was a wealthy dude) HOWEVER chrys was a bastard child and not hippodamia's, so she ordered him killed (it's presumed that she urges two of her children, atreus and thyestes, to do it and that's how they all get exiled to mycenea).

we know so little of hippodamia, yet we can piece together a character of a woman who wants what she wants and she does whatever she can to get it. she got one of pelops' sons killed ........ her plotting to kill her father??? not entirely unlikely.

after all, when pelops was brought back from the dead he was SEXY. the gods, as apology for eating his shoulder ig, made him INCREDIBLY beautiful. so hippodamia was NOT gonna' lose him because of a chariot race. she contrived a plan to make sure she got him.

same with the chrysippus thing (to an extent) pelops clearly had eyes for other women and clearly wandered, so she couldnt get any power and influence through him. but (and women have done this for centuries ... looking at you eleanor of aquitaine) they can get it through their sons when they inherit their father's kingdoms and wealth. so when she found out that a BASTARD SON was getting everything? a son that owed her no loyalty and wouldn't give a shit about her or giving her power? that wasn't it. she, again, wanted the power and the influence and she did what she had to do get it - kill him. she wanted one of HER children to inherit, so she would still have some connection to power. yes, it backfired and she ended up exiled and killing herself BUT her intentions are pretty clear.

she is a woman who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants and she wants the best for herself. she's not nice. she's not really redeemable but she doesn't HAVE to be. she's interesting and amazing and fascinating as a character in her own right. a prime example of sometimes women are just evil, just because. and it SLAPS.

[nicegaai]

having beautiful visions of a story idea ive had for years but from a different characters perspective (moloss!a), making it feel shiny new and worth obsessing over again

what if molossias perpetual anger and facade of a personality was because of a gigantic inferiority complex (and struggling to understand his place in the world etc etc) and then he was forced to interact with actual nations physically his own age but in like , a subserviant role, like alfreds mostly forgotten errand boy -- and they are friendly but completely out of touch with what it means to be a micronation / theyve forgot what the early stages of nationhood are like after hundreds to thousands of years and they are like omggg dont worry youll keep growing :) youll live a long life :) and he is like haha. yeah maybe. and in the end a small group of them become friendLY or at least familiar but theres a fundamental disconnect and the real nations dont have much to gain from knowing him , its very much like a class difference that molossia has very little chance of overcoming. he will never be their equal and he has a slim chance of surviving longer than a humans lifespan or two. but what matters is there was some understanding there. some connection.

i want to write the molossia POV fic so bad but i need to do some research first because i have a very specific setting where this takes place. um

this is just my 2015core hype house AU again

and i need to binge a few episodes of whatever the paul brothers were up to , i think there was a tv show ... i need to watch it for research. becuase i think it would be insane if a bunch of teen nations were like. we're going to make a House of Nation Influencers. for social media purposes. alfred can we borrow your socal beach house pwease. .. .. and hes like holy shit thats the coolest thing ive ever heard please take my keys. im too busy to live there but let me cameo and plug my socials and u can do whatever u want.

and molossia and maybe slowjamastan are alfreds little , localish ambassadors. theyre like. 11 and 15. yes it would make more sense w like a california oc but

i like the micronatio s better than statetalia i have strong opinions on statetalia. the first opinion being i dont think there is One Guy Per State nor do i ever like Well There Could Be Two Guys In A State. i think there's regionals and tribes, and statetalias will die off in regional mergers when the spirit isnt strong or specific enough. and etc. theres a lore system in my head thats pretty poorly thought thru but i get worked up about anyway

in any case the micronations are super localized super specific phenomenons and i love them. they have a atrokg sense of identity for no real reason and they become distinct ppl way quicker than naturally forming identities.... and i think alfred kind of hates them for existing (extreme jealousy over his territory) but he tries not to be a total deadbeat dad and gives them a little attention when he remembers to.... i think the drama potential is juicy. america doesnt want to be cruel to molossia but he wishes he was never born. his little bastard son

i love hetalia molossia its an insane thing wrong w my brain. im such a micronation freak i adore them

oh right also the influencer wannabe house is flcused on the Teen Nation Friend Group kind of chrs ... hong kong iceland liechten seychelles ......... and others like singapore phillipines ... "teenager" is a pretty broad category in aphws but my vision is it began as a friend group doing a bit thing and then got out of hand with way too many ppl joining. it also falls apart. Badly.

and i always thought the scale of trying to turn Hypehousetalia into a fanfic would be too convoluted. like it would just be my 6 hr vid essay on the rise and fall of something that didnt happen. but if it was a framing device and background setting for molossias teen angst instead of the story itself that would be hilarious ............
