April Camp Nano - Days 1 - 3 Update

So, I was trying to figure out what I was going to work to begin with, and I got a hankering to update the multi-fandom fic that I started back in 2022.

Last three days I'm putting down as 'edit' because I had to re-read the fic, and figure out the notes I left for myself - and that's not always easy.

I also made my title card. Enjoy.

I always find it super weird in the new doctor who seasons whenever they try to push the idea that the doctor has never settled down in one place for an extended period of time because… well he has. Quite a lot actually.

Just off the top of my head I can think of quite a few.

The weeks its implied that 11 spends with the Ponds in ‘The power of three’

The unknown amount of time he spends grieving in the sky of 1980’s London in ‘the snowmen’

The centuries he spent protecting Trenzalore in ‘the time of the doctor’

12’s 24 years living alongside River on Darillium in ‘the husbands of River Song’

And 12’s retired life as a professor watching over Missy in his final season

It’s not overly common but it happens just enough that it always makes me raise an eyebrow whenever they try to do the “the one adventure you’ve never had before” stuff again. Like, some of these are incredibly important to the doctor’s story and it’s always weird when they try to pretend they never happened.

Not Callum out here getting the short end of the stick big time in the BNHA AU.... but ig at least he gets two kids and two husbands to make up for it! Callum and Ren were childhood friends that were separated when Callum was kidnapped by a villain org, as you do, and experimented on, as they do. His telepathic radius got BIG, but not much other than that despite their hopes... or so they think. But Callum is a smart cookie and isn't about to reveal that after those experiments he can do a helluva lot more. Either way, he's kept and put on 'security', where he monitors for threats via some new tech the org came up with after experimenting on him. New kidnapees are brought to him to be 'read', and thats how he gets his kids - ALSO getting the unfortunate end of the stick - when he's about 16 and the twins are about four.

Teenage fatherhood strikes again! Suffice it to say, they're 'homeschooled', by Callum mind, who does NOT have a degree but that telepathy can make up for a lot. The three of them aren't getting fed much, even if they get some decent rooms (with a little balcony even!) and hot water showers (unlike the other kidnapees), so to that end Callum doesn't achieve his full 6'1 of height here. The kids need the food more than he does. They also end up staying pretty smol tho, and prone to illness once they're out, alas.

Callum's collar is equipped with a tracker, tranqs in case he's naughty (or just needs to sleep like damn boy), and a protective cover for The Matrix style port thats been installed into the back of his spine. Gotta throw those telepathic readings onto the screen somehow ig? Vasya, also a telepath and able to manipulate others emotions, also has this port. Vivi, telekinesis, does not. Neither of the kids have the sedatives - the risk of ODing them is too high. They are also getting experimented on. Via telepathy, Callum siphons off their pain so they, at least, don't have to deal with that.

Callum tried to escape once. Made a pretty good go of it! They took his leg to ensure that wouldn't be happening again. The only time he has access to a wheelchair (or any kind of mobility aid) is when the villains are taking him to and fro. BUT Chrys rescues him, other strike team members rescue the kids and other kidnapees, and Chrys BBQs the closest thing Callum's had to a dad for the past twelve years! Buuuut he gets to see his bestie (and future husband) Ren again in person as opposed to just in dreams, in addition to his family, so aaaaaye. Silver linings!

Callum's range when he pushes it is BIG. Otherwise it's about 5k square miles or in other words, about the size of Tokyo and the greater Tokyo area. He can download knowledge from other people's heads, but only if he can look into their eyes. Hijacking and memory thievery can be done from a distance however. He also learns to unlock telekinesis from the twins :3 cus i love my OP ocs. Migraines are the big drawback here, they can put him out of commission for up to a week after he strains himself. Well. And being experimented on. But still.

The twins were orphans to begin with, so with Callum, Ren, and Chrys they stay!

uhhhh callums gaming chair is black and red but ive got some eye strain so please feel free to imagine that to your liking uhuhuhu

Saw my dad watching 24: Live Another Day today, was COMPLETELY unprepared to see Sergeant Melshi and “Big Deal” Finn in one show together

Neither of which would ever live again. ┆ ╰⪼ (Inspired by: In Sheep's Clothing // @reignpage)

If any non-writers want to have a glimpse into what it's actually like to write, then here. I've been stuck on this lame half-sentence for approximately thirteen days now.

i don't think i've ever outright said it here, so just to have it noted down, i am going about paramount presence in a truly deranged manner. i'm planning to get everything prepped and then get all of london's innards in one day.

"why are you doing it like that" i am no longer taking questions

When you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen to, publish them, and send this ask to the last 10 people in your notifs!

Got another one of these from @queenfishiethemagnificent, so this can answer both of them!

1. Dead girl walking from heathers

2. Ballard of jane doe from rtc

3. Sing by Garry Barlow (but not the end section with the drums and brass. I do not like that part)

4. For forever from dear Evan hansen

5. Sound of silence by Simon and garfunkel, but specifically the Disturbed cover

RUMORS OF A PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY ON THE 24TH... HW2 DLC PLEASE IM BEGGING

[a9saga]

I can't believe the entire cast of big brother agrees not to use slurs while in the house and in the first week of the show this absolute quack drops the n word in front of a black houseguest after talking about a different black houseguest and gets ejected before the first eviction

[icehockey-obsessed]

Okay, murder postponed, but barely
