#Jackalope fic

[hangesbelovedexperiment]

moodboard inspired by @justratqueenthings (ladynonsense on ao3) fic Jackalope, you guys should read it if you haven’t already<3

It’s dark, but her night eyes are good and the moon sheds just enough light to see what it is. A brown rabbit sits out in the open snow. It’s an odd little thing, staring directly at her, barely moving.

A flash of yellow in Nat’s periphery spikes her headache once again, but when she turns there’s only her rabbit sitting there.

Putting the odd visions out of her head, Nat greets it, “Hey,” smiling despite the pain.

Her rabbit approaches cautiously, taking tentative steps as if it is scared or worried. It’s the same dirty-blonde one she gave the heart to.

Looking away from the scene, Nat spots intelligent eyes watching from the treeline. Dirty-blonde fur lies hidden in the shadows of the undergrowth.

She doesn’t move, doesn’t breathe, she just stares at Nat, looking less alive than even the rabbit had been those first few times.

“So, Taylor...” Nat says, unsure how to continue. “That was you? The rabbit. The headaches.”

Jackie doesn’t answer, just stands there, utterly still.

When Nat enters their usual clearing, her heart skips a beat. She was expecting to see Jackie—was braced for it—but actually having her there still shocks her. Standing beside the boulder, still as the grave, is a dead girl, sad eyes already trained on Nat.

New Jackalope chapter out!

[kmesons]

while the concept of samuel existing in maia's room as some sort of afterlife has been wonderfully and sincerely portrayed in some recent fanworks, it's also very funny to me because I imagine the first few moments of samuel being in the room going something like

[italiansteebie]

steve is smart, but he's kind of an air head at times. he can tell you all about kids and behavior and emotions and how to handle them, and he's got extensive knowledge of music, and can stitch up a wound with out thinking.

so yeah, he's smart. but...

"do you think jackalopes are born with their antlers or do they grow?"

"w... what?"

"jackalopes, and their antlers."

"steve... jackalopes aren't real."

"what? yes they are. i learned about them in school."

"oh, no. stevie. baby, they-" pause for obnoxious laughter from both is metal head boyfriend and his platonic soulmate. "they aren't real."

steve, tearing up "seriously? oh my god... this, is the worst news..."

eddie, still laughing "oh, steve. i... love you."

steve sniffles, wiping his eyes and mumbling "i love you, too." before robin giggles deviously and begins. "hey, eddie did i ever tell you,"

"rob, no."

"that one time, steve tried to make microwave noodles-"

"ROBIN PLEASE STOP."

"with OUT water? they caught on fire! the house smelt AWFUL for WEEKS!" and she's shrieking with delighted laughter, and eddie doubles over with giggles once again.

steve can't help but laugh, and try to hide the embarrassment on his face. "awwwee, stevie. i love your blonde moments. you're so sweet." eddie says, patting his face, placing a gentle kiss on his lip.

robin gags obnoxiously and the tender moment is gone. so steve takes his revenge by telling eddie about the time robin complained that she was too "long," instead of too tall.

it was hilarious.

and even better when steve retold it later that night when they were all high.

based on my finding out jackalopes don't actually exist at the ripe age of 21.

(jackalopes are cryptids that are rabbit like creatures with deer antlers).

Where is Milgram?

I'm working on a fic, and I know a few of the theories about Milgram's actual building/location that have been passed around, but could you reblog with/send me your ideas on how the prison is physically set up in relation to the world? I want to write something encompassing a range of possibilities, not just my own headcanons. Any kind of theory -- with or without evidence, with or without every little detail worked out, just whatever you've been picturing or would like to see when the project ends :3

(Even if my fic doesn't pan out, I'll post the collection of theories I get for anyone else's research purposes👍)

@mistr3ssquickly inspired me to draw art for my own fic, so here's Anton riding a mechanical bull from You're A Little Bit Just Like Me Chapter 4 😄

[good-beans]

In one of my upcoming Milgram fics I wanna include a tongue-in-cheek line from Buffy ("Dawn's in trouble, must be Tuesday") and make it Wednesday, but I don't know who would be funniest to lean on the fourth wall like that...

[ur-local-chaos-gremlin]

so my friend sent me a fic and i read the summary, and then suddenly i got hit with the drawing juices

in no way did the summary hint at the bunny being a jackalope, but like ig he's a jackalope now???

also i for some reason had to go researching deer antler growth because it had to be accirate in my little goblin mind so ig age-accurate jackalope???

Posted chapter 3 ("Natty") of my Yellowjackets fic, Jackalope! It's starting to get kinda weird...

"Nat navigates her duties and relationships in the wilderness while also dealing with a headache-inducing stalker."

CW for a bunch of typical Yellowjackets stuff

You know what would be a funny AU?

What if Es, at the start of MILGRAM, decided, "I'm a 15 year old amnesiac who doesn't know nearly enough about law and morality to judge these murderers based on that, so I'm going to judge them all on their skill at arbitrary things," and just turns MILGRAM into a little series of competitions in increasingly weird things? Like, at first, it's normal things like drawing and playing Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon and writing and sports, but then it turns into "who can balance an egg on their head for the longest period of time?" and "who can sit still for the longest period of time?" and "who gives the best hugs?" and so on. Jackalope is increasingly irritated by this. Even better, the competitions produce the same results as actual MILGRAM. Also, Shidou would be desperately trying to fuck up every challenge because he wants to be voted guilty, and then he does really well at all of them, much to his dismay. Kotoko would be so pissed the whole time too because "You're not even judging them on their crimes! >:("

I don't know. It's a silly and funny idea to me at least. If you see this, let me know if you'd read a fic about this, because I'm tempted to write one now.

[good-beanswrites]

🎬: About Es being a past prisoner and the secret 11th prisoner in your AU. But advance apologies if I'm overstepping into your AU!

I had this idea from a story that pretty much did the same thing. Going off there are novels/manga on Milgram and there being another Es and their own prisoners running another Milgram (but differently) I imagine this Milgram projects has been going on for a while, and our Es was from a previous project who might have gotten the worst verdict (or the most spared out of everyone), and was given this final task as a warden for the next group of prisoners. This is why they so readily agreed and had their memories wiped for this Milgram project instead of being weary on a shady project on judging an almost crime, they've already been through this.

(BTW is it bad and worrying for one of our ten fav prisoners to be the next Es if this is legit...)

Anyway, that's why Es is in Milgram in your AU, I guess? And the lore drop that Kotoko picks up on them being the 11th prisoner, I can imagine her also talking to Kazui since he's a policeman to see if she could cross out any theories on who Es is (Did they look familiar. Possible missing child. Any cases to do with an almost crime by a child other than the 10 of them here). Kazui knows Kotoko wants to investigate, but reminds her that, like in their prison while the trial is on, the facilities they're in have high security too. They do have the freedom to move about, but still limited.

If they're trying to investigate Es, maybe Fuuta, Kotoko and Mikoto can try to do the hacking on the comp Mikoto's allowed to use to Photoshop some shots for the MVs and photos (Fuuta and Kotoko seem to be able to search up info they need I think...). Yuno, Mahiru and Muu can work on charming the staff to see if they can spill more deets on Milgram. Not sure how much the group can gather, but oh boy fun times in Milgram can turn into another sort of stress in this AU...

No worries!! Like I said before, this whole au has been a fun collaborative project, so there's no overstepping :) I am sorry I won't be writing a lot on the ending until we get more info, but that's just the perfectionist in me who doesn't want to be proven wrong 😅 Still, I love tossing around and digging into ending scenarios, I really love this!

Because that would make a lot of sense why they're so willing to subject themself to the whole experiment! They remember how tough their experience was, and are confident they can care for the new set of prisoners while doing their job. I'm imagining they get the opportunity to return as guard, and get to have a nice talk with their own guard first. Once they fully understand what it's like, they're know they can handle it and sign up. It adds a bit of drama, too, since they must have been really young committing their crime in order to complete a years-long experiment prior to this one. They would have been like 10? Oof. (Now I wanna see their three trial songs 👀)

And like you said, that also brings up the question of the new warden. Though I think it's based on verdict results, I can just picture Jackalope keeping an eye on everyone during filming. He studyies their interactions and personalities, keeping his own set of notes on who would make a good successor. (I'm not going to go through every character but there are pros to any choice, it's very fun picturing them all taking the job.) Haha, on the other hand, maybe the reason Kotoko keeps bringing up her role as Es' partner/bringer of justice is because she did discover the truth. She drops as many hints as possible so she can be chosen next 😅

Ooh, I love her working with Kazui on an investigation! The fact that eh may know details on recent crimes (and almost-crimes) is super fun to work with. He's the last person who's going to spill a secret, so the group could go several trials without realizing Kazui had actually heard all about their situation this whole time.

(Getting sidetrack for a sec, I'm suddenly realizing that he and Kotoko may have heard things about the crimes in canon, too. They're a bit unclear about how much time passed between the murders and arriving to Milgram, so maybe he heard some things. I don't know how well-connected Tokyo police departments are, but Yuno, Fuuta, Muu, and Shidou are all nearby. There's definitely a chance he caught word of the vigilante nearby, and she heard about the odd policeman's suicide. Both of them could have heard about the tragic housefire, the disgraced doctor, or horrible schoolgirl murder nearby.)

Anyway, I like that idea of Kazui wracking his brain for any similar cases. Though, if he had, Milgram may have had the foresight to wipe parts of his memory, too. Maybe he does end up using his call to reach out to Hinako and have her look into it from the outside. Sadly, Kotoko seems the type to sacrifice her personal call to reach out to a connection who can help as well. I'll have to think about how closely Jackalope monitors those calls, hm.

I'm going crazy over prisoner investigation team !! Kotoko and Fuuta had the online knowledge to find some good info, and Mikoto and Kazui seem like they'd have a huge network of people they can ask for info and favors from. Haha, I'm torn whether Mahiru would have flirting down to a science or if she'd refuse to do it since it wasn't real love 😂 Still, she's very good at reading people and could definitely help the others charm and bribe their way into some restricted areas. Amane and Haruka can also charm with their innocence/cuteness (though I'm not sure Amane would). Shidou seems very organized, he'd have a plan and backup plan and backup-backup plan ready, no matter what happens. I think it's even funnier, then if Milgram had run several experiments prior. Jackalope would think this was just another runthrough, and for the first time the ten subjects decided to organize together and Cause Problems.

I think there's a beautiful irony in a story featuring ten prisoners planning a jailbreak to save the prison guard...
