Story ideas from my backlog that will never be written 😭 #4

Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Poison system to become the Noble Imperial Concubine!!–wait, no, sorry, no can do, I’m gay~

Summary:

Lou Lixuan dies saving a woman, only to be transmigrated to an unfamiliar ancient era into the body of a young girl named Li Xuan, who is about to be sold off after a series of unlucky engagements. An Administration System grandly announces to her: congratulations! If you do this, coincidentally meet the Emperor, enter the Imperial Harem, and use your Poison System, and scheme to become the most powerful Nobel Imperial Concubine! If you’re smart, you can even become the Empress!

Lou Lixuan: *gag* Sorry, no can do, I’m gay~.... and I’m a doctor! F*ck off!

After throwing the annoying Administration System into a black room, Lou Lixuan runs away, finds a candidate wife who is much better than the Emperor, and uses her new Medicine Refining system to help others! (And help herself.)

Thank goodness for the Medicine Refining System, since Lou Lixuan is a doctor, not a pharmacist!

Would contain if it existed:

GL

making money

being a doctor (?)

a strong (literally) female love interest

teaching and boosting other women

building her own town with her rules

Notes:

I have 13 page document with +5000 words outlining what would happen and other random notes. It was inspired by all the Ancient China BL stories that I've read. It's a shame when modern characters (men) in these stories transmigrate to the past and then continue to perpetuate the sexism of that era. Hence, why don't I write a GL??!!

However, I don't really read much GL so I have no idea if this kind of story already exists. I was also wary that I would get weary of writing so many sexist characters for the villains, and with other things I'm writing, this idea was eventually shelved 😔

Here's a useless thought my head just supplied me with that I absolutely can't use.

Co-op game where if one player sees another, they die.

Both die? Just the one who does the seeing? Just the one who is seen? All players or just one crucial character? Do reflections count?

"Don't turn around. I'm right behind you. I'm going to put the mcguffin down behind you and go around the corner, I'll tell you when it's safe to turn around; let me know when you're looking away again."

Story ideas from my backlog that will never be written 😭 #1

CEO Draco Malfoy and Farmer Harry Potter and that time they were reborn back into their 4th year at Hogwarts

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter’s history was tumultuous, to say the least. Yet, somehow, after many years, the two of them fell in love, got married, and enjoyed domestic bliss.

They didn’t expect to suddenly get reborn together 5 minutes before the 3rd task of the Triwizard Tournament in their 4th Year.

Couldn’t the great unknown forces at least give them a few more days before the 3rd task? Or maybe take them back to the start of the 4th year? Or the start of their 1st year? Was that too much to ask?

Forget it, this was a one-in-a-lifetime chance. So, after dealing with annoying matters, Draco and Harry immediately pick up their professions again. Draco was going to become one of the richest men in the world and Harry was going to become an Auror-retiree looking for new meaning in life.

Everyone else: Wait, what?

Would contain if it existed:

more crack!

less death!

dramatics!

bad homework ethics!

Notes:

This story idea was strongly inspired by Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our Marriage 和宿敌结婚当天一起重生了, after which I went into a rabbit hole of reading regression drarry fics on AO3. However, after reading reading those fics on AO3, none of them had the same kind of ~dramatics~ and overpoweredness that Reborn with an Old Enemy had, hence the birth of this story idea.

It would have been full of crack (treated seriously), full of Draco acting like a domineering CEO who treats money as dirt, full of Harry being a hero but also making his little farming plot on Hogwarts grounds...

Unfortunately, I barely remember what happened in the later HP books, and add in my lack of time to write a 100+ chapter fic, this story idea was shelved 😭

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive

humans are the experts on their own minds

family may prevent assessment

diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes

diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more

medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it

discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.

Assessment waiting lists often long

medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

so i recently tried to hack my ps2 and after everything i can say it's like, technically easy but the documentation is a godless wasteland compared to n*ntendo systems. one of the major forums has IP banned like half the world including me before i even visited it and most of the text guides are outdated but the more recent ones are 💀 video guides (also frequently outdated)

anyway so my friend and i decided to try to make a couple 3ds.hacks.guide style guides for the ps2. if you have a fat ps2 you can use the internal hdd guide and if you have a slim ps2 you can use the ESR disc method

DPxDC My Brother in the Mirror

Damian doesn't like mirrors.

He never mentioned the fact to other members of the family, but they are detectives and vigilantes, it's their job to be observant. Which, after so many years, becomes a habit.

Damian doesn't actively avoid the mirrors - he has a mirror in his bathroom, he didn't express any discomfort over going into a mirror labyrinth at some carnival they've attended (he expressed disgust over taking part in something so stupid, in his words, but that's a whole another story), and he actually spent a few minutes in front of the funhouse mirrors when no one was looking, watching his own reflection distort in various ways. He also has no problems with his self-image - he doesn't mind pictures of him taken at any time (unless it's Tim, but that's, again, a whole another story), he's drawn a few self-portraits that were rather accurate and he liked them.

He just doesn't like mirrors. For some reason.

His family, both close and extended, never questioned it. They did some gentle research to see if the dislike was caused by some kind of problem Damian was experiencing without telling anyone, but when they found no proof of that, they've just decided it was some quirk of his. Everyone has quirks. Dick doesn't like eating cereal like a normal person, Tim despises sleep, Steph is at war with any color other than purple.

That is, until one day, Tim witnesses Damian sitting in front of a mirror.

He is not even aware of it - the whole family is having a game night, and through some arguments and rearrangements on the couch, Damian ends up sitting on the left side of it, where his back is turned to one of the three mirrors in the room. Tim, who's lost the last round, is slumping in an armchair nearby, pointedly looking away from the screen where Damian and Jason are enthusiastically competing over the first place in Mario Cart. Of course, Tim can't just not watch it since he needs to know their strategies. But turning back around would also be admitting defeat.

The solution? Easy, watch the screen through the mirror.

Which is when he notices it.

Damian in the mirror doesn't act the same as Damian in the room. Out of the corner of his eye, Tim can see the real Damian moving around, shoving Jason with his elbow, fully concentrated on the game, and yelling something. Damian-in-the-mirror is sitting unnaturally still, the back of his head over the couch unmoving.

Tim forgets all about the game when Damian's reflection starts to turn around. Slowly and carefully, eerie in the way the horror movies are, the boy in the mirror turns his head around like an owl, his neck twisting inhumanely.

His eyes are green. Green like the toxic waste, like Jason's madness, like acid in cartoons, like the Waters of Lazarus.

Damian in the mirror smiles, his unblinking, gliwing eyes fixed on Tim, and his teeth are sharp and pointy, and there are too many of them, humans can't smile this wide.

"-im? Tim!" A hand nudges him in the shoulder, and Tim looks away from the mirror, finding Dick standing over him. The noise of the game room returns all at once, and, wait, when did it become quiet for Tim?.. He must have a strange expression on his face because Dick's easy smile falls slightly, and he frowns, "Is everything okay?"

Tim looks back to the mirror, but the green-eyed boy in the mirror is gone, and the mirror only reflects Damian as he is: sitting on the couch.

"Yeah," Tim shakes his head and forces a smile on his lips, "I just zoned out."

"Okay," Dick pats him on the shoulder and gives him the controller, "It's your turn now."

Tim takes the controller and turns around, facing the screen. Tim throws a quick glance at Damian, who had slid down on the couch so his head would not be in the reflection anymore. Tim sees the cold, warning hint to his eye, a clear do not speak of it message.

Tim doesn't like that the mirror is now behind him.
