#I think that is their ship

Hmmmm. Fic idea?

Nevermind that I have like 10 WIPs going right now and should probably be focusing on writing.

So some time ago I had an idea kicking around of some sort of fic where Lucheni is Rudolf's whipping boy - an orphan that Sisi found on the streets of [Venice? City ultimately doesn't matter] and who she had taken into the royal household.

In time, Lucheni then ends up being made Rudolf's whipping boy - be this because Sisi goes traveling and no one else knows what to do with him or for some other reason is TBD at a later date.

And Rudolf is an absolute jerkface about it. He's more than a little jealous that his mother took in this peasant orphan street urchin and loved the boy while he, her own son, doesn't get so much as a kind word or glance.

So he acts out - after all, Lucheni is the one that gets beaten. I would even say he greatly enjoys being a sadistic little imperialist at times.

If Gondrecourt shows up that would lead to a very different dynamic than I usually write - Rudolf would be purposely making sure Lucheni gets punished.

As for Tod (cause lord knows I can't seem to write a fic without Tod):

Lucheni can see Tod, and can see him everywhere. In everything. He's almost mad, in a way. Because back then (especially for a poor child) Death is everywhere. Something like 40-50% of the population died before the age of 5. Lucheni knows Death in a way that none of the other characters in this story could ever hope to. In some ways he's been drawn away from Death, taken to the (comparative) safety of the Imperial Court - not that even the Imperial Court is immune from such things.

And I think Lucheni would see Death as almost a deity because of it, in a way. Which brings up the question, what does Death look like to Lucheni?

An angel? Perhaps when he was very young. But no, I think the correct answer for storytelling purposes in this fic would be Rudolf. That Death looks like Rudolf to Lucheni.

Because to Lucheni, Rudolf and Tod are two sides of the same coin. Mercurial masters. Rudolf vengeful and present but ultimately impotent, Tod oh-so potent in his power but more distant.

And so you end up with the relationships of:

Lucheni: Worshipful of Tod, Extremely mixed (like lust through to violence to jealousy to pity) feelings for Rudolf.

Rudolf: Hates Lucheni's guts. Tod relationship TBD.

Tod: Sees Rudolf as some sort of future trophy against Sisi or the like (may change this). Sees Lucheni as a passing curiosity if he even notices him at first.

Ok I'm waxing a little too poetical here. It's late.

We'll see if I have more (hopefully coherent) thoughts tomorrow.

Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

“I can fix him” I couldn’t fix him and I don’t want to. I think he grew prone to biting and scratching in order to get by in a harsh world, and to me his resilience is part of what makes him so beautifully himself. I could be kind to him, though. I could show him gentleness. I could, slowly but surely, in the same way one earns the trust of a skittish stray cat, convince him that my touch will never come accompanied by pain. That, around me, he can allow himself to be soft. To relax. I could be the one he associates with warmth and safety, the one he longs to be held by after a hard day. I could be his home.

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
