OK! here's the general idea for this Nordegrim Ghosts AU that has been haunting me:

CW FOR MENTIONS OF DEATH, ATTEMPTED MURDER, AND ALSO A TINY BIT SUGGESTIVE (just a tiny bit though)

Stacey, Scott, and Lawrence inherit this big house from a distant great aunt they have never met after she passed of old age. Scott is in debt so he cant take the house like he was supposed to, and Lawrence wants nothing to do with it, so Stacey gets it instead.

It’s perfect though cause her and Neil, who is also her husband now here, were planning to move houses anyways and were struggling to find a good place. Also since the house is super big, they thought about opening a hotel at one point once the house is all fixed up.

What they don't know is that the house is haunted. the ghosts in question are:

Knives Chau: A teenage girl from the 1950s who was a fan of rock n' roll that got pushed down the stairs by a jealous classmate (not Tamara btw that was her gf) at a party

Julie Powers (IDK her married last name yet): An Edwardian women who got pushed out the window by her husband (who is Joseph in this AU btw)

Stephen Stills: A folk singer from the mid 60s who dies in a fire (people confused him with the other Stephen Stills all the time)

Gideon Graves: A music producer from the late 60s early 70s who was poisoned by a rival producer

Lucas Lee: A Victorian lumber guy who was crushed by a wooden beam during the construction of the houses renovation

Todd Ingram: A 90s Rockstar who died while having sex with his bands drummer (which like in the comic, was also cheating on his girlfriend and it is still Lynette and Envy)

Lisa Miller: A somewhat famous 1930s actress who died while filming a scene

Matthew Patel: An early 19th century poet who died in a duel that was orchestrated by a good friend of his

Roxie Richter(she has no last name in this au btw, putting it here cause I put everyone elses last names here): A Viking who was struck by lighting

Ken and Kyle Katayanagi : Inventors/mechanics from the late 19th century who died in a car explosion along with their dog (who is a dog version of robot 0-1 btw). They live in the carriage house as its far more peaceful than the main house

The ghosts overhear the hotel idea when Stacey and Neil are talking about it and they are not too pleased with it. So they try to haunt them so they'll leave, but ultimately fail.

Then either Gideon or Todd, come across Stacey leaning out the window and decide to push her in an another attempt to get them to leave which in turn, almost kills her. Because of this, now Stacey can see ghosts and forms a close friendship with them. Neil, like Mike and I assume Jay in bbc and cbs ghosts respectively, will have a collage of what they all look like since he cannot see them.

So yeah that's my idea so far! I’m still tweaking things but I’m happy with this rn. I’ll definitely make art for it at some point (and if people want it, an ask blog). Feel free to also suggest some ideas for this au if you have any :]

This goes hard

[wacky-nameless-inventor-24]

royalty au is a lot about Mads trauma ik but I really want to go into NFentons from when he served under NScrooge- as a sort of reaction to that I’m thinking of giving him control issues (though he’s kinda already been written with those anyway)

Being forced to be complicit in everything NScrooge did from murder to imprisonment to raids to greed and just everything means he just had to watch a lot of it and couldn’t do anything about it. Now that he’s in charge he has to be in charge of everything that happens so he can finally do it the correct way. Most of the time it’s not noticeable (he just has a reputation for being very Particular) but sometimes it’ll get bad and he either has to do everything personally himself or the people doing things for him (like his advisors) have to do everything Exactly how he tells form to and afterwards they have to give him an extensive report on what happened. Even though he is a very logical Greater Good Cut Our Losses kind of person it still has to be done the way he has figured it out to help as many people as possible and any variance from that really makes him angry. All of this only serves to wear him out more which makes is mood worse and it’s a hard cycle to get out of. He has a tendency to yell (that he is working on!) which really no one reacts well to but Mads and Blue especially have a hard time with it.

For example ig when Mads first started causing chaos NFenton was really hard on Blue about it because there were bad things happening (riots and fires and stuff) that he couldn’t stop, and so he figured he had the strongest person in the world who was also incapable of doing something about it. He was really nasty to them about not being able to catch him and really took his anger out on them- though nobody really recognized at the time it was a trauma response. Still doesn’t excuse it though and he did apologize to them throughly afterward and hasn’t done anything like that since (over my head was supposed! to cover this but I might just write it independently afterwards). Another example that isn’t as bad is after NGyro’s betrayal things get bad again, and he tries to assign everyone bodyguards- which like. they refuse cause it’s blue and beakley and mads they. all know how to take care of themselves and their refusal only makes his mental state worse. At that point he’s doing better about handling it tho so he’s never really mean to anyone about it he just gets extra grumpy which does lead to some bad arguments and work environments ig. I do have a fic about this I’ve been almost finished with for months now sldlglgkhkg He is also! shit about talking through his feelings so he has a tendency to hold things in until he explodes at someone.

Anyway on a more lighthearted side of it Mads has developed an attack plan for when he notices this from NFenton which is to make him stop working for the rest of the day (so he can’t be in charge of/control anything else and has to let other people take over so he can step back and calm down about it and see that it’s fine), give him a bath, maybe a massage, then distract him with food while braiding his hair and trying to talk about it with him. Talking doesn’t always work the first time so it becomes a sort of ongoing conversation until it’s resolved. The hair braiding is some extra physical contact to help him calm down sldlfkf

cpdb rui + nene cards and emu5 tsukasa + emu cards for the alien alien/niccori survey team/opera space opera “alien race w the goal to spread love and cheer because positive emotions are their society’s fuel (like monsters inc. laughter as a fuel) invasion for Benevolent Reasons” ruikasa/emunene au where emu+tsukasa crash land on earth and are found by rui+nene who have to hide them from authorities/fix their ship… maybe len as the alien ship AI rin as the AI rui made/found/whatever… do u see my vision… the dish I’m cooking up…

Assorted vague ideas that may or may not end up making the cut:

> CPDB cyberpunk dystopia being a result of emu’s grandpa giving earth (his favorite little planet) some technology because he was like surely the humans will use this to usher in a new era of peace and love 😊 (he was wrong)

> emu’s grandpa gave them souped up hyper competent chat gpt/ai to solve their more boring meaningless issues so they could focus on creating art and then capitalism ruined it 😔

> no I don’t have an agenda against ai generation what would make you think that (graphic design major being told to use generative AI because “that’s the future” when it Looks Like Shit)

> emu crash lands them on earth when they’re meant to be going elsewhere because she wanted to take “a quick teeny weeny detour” to look at her grandpa’s favorite planet (she knew something was wrong w it. Energy outputs were bad? Maybe the alien society wrote off earth as a lost cause) and tsukasa’s like no absolutely not (they wrestle with the controls -> crash land -> emu’s like oopsie daisy 😊 while tsukasa has a hysterical fit)

> if I want to be really evil emu’s grandpa could have died on earth and she wanted to see if he was alive? But I don’t want to hurt emu like that… I’d rather just go the path of her Really Really wanting to save earth. Au version of Wonderstage.

> or maybe tsukasa and emu are just sent to see why it’s failing. But I think the crash landing thing is really funny.

> ohh maybe instead of emotions it’s music based (harnessing the true emotions behind music) and the reason earth has begun to fail is the increasing drive to create empty pop songs that go viral. That would be a better explanation than the general positive emotion harvesting if you’re assuming everyone in the CPDB dystopia is “happy” (complacent with the status quo of capitalism driven entertainment)

> “it’s a tragedy to view it from this small fry of a planet, but it’s a comedy if you view it from space” “I fell in love with you from far far away” “when this song reached over there and resonated, it was you who gave it meaning! Sure enough this universe is wonderhoy!”

> “I don’t read the lyrics anyway, so give me something catchy” “is it about the numbers than the artistry/awful price to pay for vitality/then what do we do? Was that how it’s supposed to go?/the mind going in circles and slowly dying away” “don’t disguise yourself, fantasies and ideals are fine”

> “The trembling streetlights, the pelting rain/My wavering feelings, an emotional telepath/The lost two make contact/And my heart learned of love “A fluorescent light repeatedly switching off and on/The paranormal confusion quietly ate into you/The parallel signals intersected due to singular point/Created-reality-blind acceptance-itus, sensitivity instinct”

> “we will set out to study the world’s smiles” “Between us, we have something that will turn the impossible into a possibility”

> ^ I can probably do something with those lyrics. General vibes to work with. Etc.

> (rui kamishiro voice) sometimes the cure for complete apathy/hopelessness and disillusionment with the current state of the world can be two goofy aliens (nene kusanagi voice) what the fuck are you talking about

> obligatory rui making joke threats about dissecting emukasa (as he did w wxs sekai plushies/aliens in 2024 April fools) & tsukasa going “y. You’re not serious right” “hehe” “RIGHT??”

> tsukasa initially is very “we need to fix this ship and Leave we have a job to be doing” (realizes the state of the earth) “nnnrgg FINE we have to fix this”

> (sees one bug) “nvm emu can we explode this planet into a million pieces and leave- emu. Emu why are you letting it crawl on you dONT GET NEAR ME WITH THAT” (emu chasing him around w a centipede in her hands)

> emu is immediately infatuated with nene “your voice is the prettiest thing I’ve heard in the whole universe” -> “you make me happy just by existing and I want to make you smile every day”… nene goes from “I want nothing to do with this” to “ok I’m involved now. Not just because emu asked. Rui stop laughing at me. (Would be crying and throwing up on the inside if emu was even a little upset)”

> as with all my aus the ruikasa dynamic is “oh he’s pretty and very talented” vs “what an interesting guy (I want to put him in a maze and watch him solve it for rewards)” -> “this guy is fucking insane and is going to kill me one day (said with begrudging fondness and irritation at his own shit taste)” vs “what an interesting guy (I want to put him in a maze and watch him solve it for rewards) (also I am madly in love with him)”

> they destroy the ai thing or something yay happy ending. Idk. I’m not a polisci major you can’t expect me to have a good neat solution for a huge societal issue.

> ending is hard because I don’t want to separate them but emu + tsukasa have way too much left on the home planet to ever consider leaving it permanently… hmm ending where emu + tsukasa are like we gotta go back for a bit but we’ll return to check on the progress -> more permanent way for visits to happen is set up with the eventual intention for rui and emu to join tsukasa and emu on their adventures?

> saki as a researcher on the alien planet w the rest of L/N… tsukasa prioritizing getting communication set back up first and foremost and rui’s like “is he gonna contact his home planet and ask to be rescued even after he promised to help” & then tsukasa calls home just to tell saki (+ she updates toya) he’s ok (she was understandably distraught thinking her brother fucking crash landed somewhere and died) tsukasa tenma voice I’ve upset my sister. I’m going to go run directly into traffic.

> rui and nene live together (making money thru mechanics and programming). Nene has a shit load of arcade games that she and rui fixed up. Neither of them like how society is but they’re both kind of like “wtf can we even do” although rui does his guerrilla shows on the side (how he finds emu+tsukasa maybe?). Rui dragging himself home at 4 am wounded from nearly getting caught by security and nene’s like are u fucking kidding me.

> actually I think nene playing video games and making money by being a top player is a funnier idea than her helping rui with mechanics. She has some tech knowledge by virtue of living with him but she’s also rank #1 in several competitive games. Nene is the real bread winner in this household.

> I think nene should play video games with emu… emunene arcade date while ruikasa are in the workshop downstairs fixing up the ship (tsukasa is kinda useless he’s just micromanaging/doesn’t want to third wheel emunene because nene kept giving him death glares last time)

Nene: (long winded gaming explanation) so that’s why you want to keep the higher ground during the game

Emu: woaw! you’re so smart nenechan!!

(Loud explosion heard from downstairs) (tsukasa screaming) (rui laughing)

Nene: um. Is tsukasa ok.

Emu: yep he just does that sometimes 💕!! Ooo what’s this game called??

Nene: (whatever it’s not my problem and I’m having fun with emu) this one is called DDR do you want to play 🥰

Hello! What about Duke Thomas made you like him so much??

I've been checking out his tag cause I saw some really cool fanart of him, so now I'm curious on what makes his character so appealing

AWHWHW sorry pls bare with me I’m scatterbrained but like. In a sentence I love that Duke is someone who presses forward despite everything! Like this is draft two bc my first answer was just listing character traits which wasn’t the question; but what I personally adore about him is that he just doesn’t stop moving.

It sounds weird but like. To me he gives refusal to die, refusal to settle, refusal to give up. When riddler took Gotham Duke was certain HE’D be the one to save them if he tried hard enough, when Bruce lost his memories Duke tried to get him back and then pushed forward with his own plans with the certainty that Batman would come back - whether through him or not, when his parents went missing he said fuck the system and went after them anyways and that’s just like. Off the top of my head. Like as corny as it sounds Duke lowkey embodies what I love about Batman - the whole indomitable human spirit or however you say that and it’s by far my favorite trait bc I don’t even think he’s aware of it? Like he actively plays at not caring about the Robin movement and just wanting to find his parents but like 3 hours later he’s texting them going ‘but like what are the details if I joined lol. Like hypothetically.” He actively fights Damian until he agrees with him, becomes a leader within the movement until Bruce is back whilst dodging gcpd, and Bruce literally had to dress up as karma for Duke to admit maybe it did fuck him up a little - all for him to still be like “I’m not good enough :(‘.

And I know that all seems like shit he just did but I promise his mindset during these things is so fascinating to me bc it’s like he simultaneously understands not many others would do this whilst also holding it as bare minimum/base standards. Like I make joke posts about him being a hardass but tbh he doesnt judge anyone half as hard as he judges himself - he understands bad circumstances, plans going left, differing povs - all until he makes a mistake; then he sucks and needs to be better. He’s also just hilarious like I didn’t read him in chrono order so the first thing I saw was him in a fight with some girls brother bc he heard Duke was flirting with her and idk an opening like that just cemented him as cool to me.

ALSO (from the tags!) I ADOREEEEEE HOW MUCH HE LOVES THE ADRENALINE/RUSH OF FIGHTING! Like Duke got in a lot of fights while his parent were missing and besides the obvious acting out bc he’s hurt he also just genuinely loves the rush of it - like not my interpretation he outright says it! And i need to do a reread for him bc I feel like it wasn’t mentioned a lot but if the og fight was the hook, the adrenaline line is what reeled me in and keeping it in mind while reading stories of him going off on his own for the good of Gotham adds another layer to it bc it’s not SOLEY necessity for him! Like things happened to line up where there was always a void that needed to be filled when he got involved in anything but it genuinely feels like duke wouldve been here no matter the circumstances. like even in civilian aus the way duke as a character is set up makes it so that it feels like - to me anyways- theres no world in which hes not doing or striving towards something! duke isnt the type to just be comfortable, bad wording, but hes just a very hungry character to me - if for an adventure or a solution. Its conveniently been both for most of his career but im very interested for what happens internally when those two clash - which. i personally think the nature of his powers and gnomon could bring that out beautifully!

HAPPY BIRTH SHEIK FROM @parksrway ‘s CHAMPION’S SHADOW AU

[cyncerity]

I love tiny falls into giants mouth while they sleep and get swallowed trope so what if during a work break or something (maybe a sleepover would make more sense?) Ranboos napping on the couch and Tubbo and Tommy are having a war on the backrest of the sofa and one looses their balance and falls into Ranboos mouth? (all depends how heavy of a sleeper Ranboo is though I guess-)

sorry these doodles are a bit shitty i did them in school lol

anyway yesss!!! love this trope and i wanted to practice more comic style stuff anyways so thank you!!

Thoughts on Sam x Jack

personally not into winkline, like people can ship what they want it’s just not for me. kinda like dean and amara. (NOTE: my blog is anti anti and proshipper safe bc i’ve been in fandom since 2012 and know how media works. idk what the obsession with everyone being the fandom police about ships or literary themes as of late, but i think it’s related to the concept of equating media consumption to morality. like in the same vein as “video games make people violent ” or “true crime fans wish they could” and etc and i’m anti censorship bc just bc i think something is icky doesn’t mean it’s morally apprehensible and shouldn’t exist or that people should be harassed/doxxed/etc or laws should exist that only allow “good media” because it’s a slippery slope) i think mostly in sam/jack’s case it’s because in that context (and in general) sam is often looked at as jack’s mother figure when he’s…not. now if, let’s say…time travel and jack goes back to meet early seasons sam? might get cancelled but that would be … so juicy. like the concept. do u see my vision. but my unpopular opinion that there there is more substance to dean/jack. maybe im remembering the show wrong but after s13 sam and jack just don’t interact that much? i blame the writers for that but we got optimism that was a jack + dean hunting episode and we got dean taking him out to do stuff when he was dying. i don’t remember an episode that was jack + sam centric which makes me wish we had one. sigh. this kind of went off on a tangent lol but these r non linear my thoughts haha

[stunie]

I started selfshipping with Hoshina from Kaiju no.8 recently. It's my first selfship, I feel so insecure 🫣 how do you do it? like where did you start?

HOSHINA !!! how cute is that ?! selfships are really fun because you can do whatever you want with them. i think i started mine with selfship art! i saw an artist i really liked on here and wanted to see me and ume in their art style so bad > < so i think your start point depends on what u like!!

for some ideas umm, you can always come up with some lore !! how did you two meet, the trope ? enemies to lovers ? friends to lovers ? there’s a lot of prompts on tumblr. i just go to safari and google selfship questions and it’ll show the popular ones!!

you can also do selfship ask games!! there’s a lot you can reblog and people can send you asks…. i’ll always send them when i see them + you can always talk to me about them too!! i love to hear about selfships. um i had a little event earlier where i raided everyone’s inbox to ask about their selfship (i really need to catch up on the rest of those actually!! i haven’t checked that in a bit but ill try and do them tn!!! ).

THATS OFF TOPIC. moodboards !! you can make those!!! (: it’s fun cuz it shows like…. the vibes of u two … it’s fun to look for all the pics too !! i think most people look on pinterest for those > < OH !!! you know what i think would be fun ??? i haven’t seen ppl do it yet but matching minecraft skins ? if u make those ?!

that would be so cute aaa!! people also do like .. the instagram thing? you could edit some pics and make it look like hoshina’s insta.. what it would look like after meeting u etc !!!

[totaled-drama]

If you have any Little League AU ideas/requests, you can send them in the ask box if you’d like :) I’ve been doodling some ideas for the LL AU today

[cryptconstellation]

Y’know what. I’ve only posted art here but! I put a little bit of this fic on a drawing last month and I might as well post the only other bit of it I’m willing to share. This au genuinely just exists for variations on this joke.

“Mmn.” PARIAH whined, feeder tendrils flailing out of the sling keeping it pressed to Alex’s chest. It turned itself outward, toward the remains of the patrol instead of staying halfway buried in Alex’s biomass.

“Yes, you can have the last one.” Alex agreed easily, one tendril flicking out to grab the fleeing human by the back of his collar. Void dragged the prey close enough for PARIAH’s littler tendrils to reach. It pleased Alex that PARIAH learned so quickly, letting it consume more of Alex’s biomass converted to protein slurry while they were in the relief camp was a good idea. Void felt proud of vois… child. Still a strange concept, even with four days to acclimate.

“What the hell is- ZEUS can breed?! It’s only been a month since the outbreak!” The prey shrieked, fear briefly overwhelmed by incredulity at the sight of the human-shaped infant strapped to Alex’s chest. The smaller, clumsier feeder tendrils sprouting from its shoulders immediately crushed any idea that it might just be an unfortunate snack for later.

“This is ours, yes.” Alex said, bemused. “Ah, here, let us get the mask off. Go for the face, armor doesn’t taste good.” Vois tendrils tore the human’s gas mask off as void instructed PARIAH, leaving the face underneath exposed and within reach.

“Aa!!” PARIAH squealed, tendrils lashing forward and suddenly perfectly coordinated. The human did manage to scream once, but then he was being torn apart and consumed, converted directly into more biomass for PARIAH. Alex patted the baby’s approximate stomach, unbothered by there suddenly being two hundred pounds of biomass supported against vois front rather than a scant thirty five. The empty uniform hit the ground with a clatter. PARIAH cheered, little arms flailing their way free of the sling.

“Good, you’re getting faster. Now we’re going to go get Dana. You remember what we said about infecting our pets?” Alex asked, eliciting grumbles from PARIAH. It subsided anyway, dissolving and reforming with its face petulantly pressed to the crook of Alex’s neck. Void stroked PARIAH’s mimicry of hair- dark now, like Alex’s own, just like PARIAH’s eyes were the same silver-blue void saw in the mirror- in comfort. It would be a trial for both of them to be around prey and not consume, as it always was.

[a-blind-bat]

Thinking of SamBucky and an AU where they are dancers and they go to the same dance school. They get paired up to rehearse a short couple’s dance to preform but they start bickering and flirting arguing with each other. They get so busy arguing that Sam trips and falls on top of Bucky.

The song they are tryna dance to is definitely a romance song btw. It adds to the tension.

[conquerthenight]

I find it hilarious that Lydia was created as a meme because I thought it would be funny if Rebecca was actually pregnant but had a daughter after taunting Maxim that she’d have a son that isn’t his, but then it turned into her being 1. Maxim’s kid 2. born years before Rebecca’s death and 3. the subject of a whole au fic series that I’m overly invested in.

[dreaming-for-an-escape]

So I finished writing the last part of the AU One-Shot (still not done yet) and umm, I’m sorry in advance.
