If Jack Noir / Spades Slick was a Detective instead of a Mobster?

Well...

I know there’s the Reverse AU around...

But dude, he’d be called Super Solver, no questions asked.

I got nothing clever

LK 105: Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

(pt1)(pt2)(pt3)(pt4)

why is she dictating while writing? Does she do that every time I wonder if it gets annoying.

The way the VA says "backgrounds" makes me wonder if she's Canadian or just having a real hard time with RP. Which also makes me wish they had made the colonists have a more reconstructed accent like they did in Turn because that piratey-ass accent is delightful and I can just imagine James with it, but also calls water "wooder."

I wonder where the budget for this episode went.

You got some marmite to spread on those words 'cuz you're probably gonna eat them.

We finally get a good view of this chair, it has been bothering me for like 4 episodes. Also are those drawers in the wall??? I love them.

James there was probably a better way you could have done that. Do you have a thing for coming up behind her and muffling her mouth.

Sarah you can't just give the excitable beagle/great dane mix of a boy ideas.

"I've made a terrible mistake."

They're kinna giving "Guy from Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue" vibes.

The Chaos Crew is primed and ready for poorly-thought out decision making, also what the fuck is James' face doing here.

that is a MASSIVE STACK OF POSTERS jfc.

Stupid headcanon that I spun from this: "oh my god the really pretty smart girl is doing chaos with me?? She wants to do chaos with me??? To protecc the journalism???? With me????? :) "

"right... gotta - uh - gotta look Capable. Focused. Intimidating."

man the Super Solvers sure are twitchy tonight.

HIS LUMBAGO

and in this moment they all turned into clueless golden retrievers with their heads cocked to one side. Even Henri's brain cell isn't at 100 tonight.

Unlikely, but you never gonna catch Spy!Henri sleepin'.

He's holding back so much exasperated sass right now. Exsassperated.

Oh that's right, Moses is a spy, too

Translation: rich fuckers

They're good at what they do, Henri, keep up.

He smells danger, like a shark smells blood in the water.

...well, actually, nobody said that, Sarah.

I'm sorry I'm not sorry.

I made a couple of nostalgic PC game Winamp skins!

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue was (clearly) a horror game masquerading as edu-tainment. Psychotic robots chased you through the halls of your school at night, trying to (literally) disappear you. Defeat their master's evil scheme with basic reading exercises!

Spaaaaaaceship WARLOCK had the most memorable audio of the day. I'd usually die at that Raskull fight ("Can't even lay a finger on me!" - a mostly accurate statement). If I got past him, I'd usually die in the Kroll ship fight soon after.

Eventually I saw the ending, on Youtube.

Both skins can be downloaded from my site: winamp.spacecatsamba.com

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue

[mabith]

I was just checking something on Youtube, went to the discussion section of my ‘channel’ (I have four public videos, two of which are songs I had to upload for playlists, one is a fan music video for a show I don’t recommend you watch, and the last is a crack video for queer Asian dramas).

Didn’t expect to see anything but there are two comments I'd never seen for a children’s educational computer game clip I uploaded at least eleven years ago, now deleted, simply to prove to my sister that I beat the game. One person wanted more video from it, another wanted to know which version of the game it was... It’s a weird world.

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue!

The Learning Company created many of 90’s kids’ favorite edutainment games including Reading Rabbit. One of the lesser-known titles that came out at about the same time was the Super Solver series with the first entry being Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue! This reading comprehension and logic skills-centered program was targeted for ages 9-12. The Super Solver walks the halls of Shady Glen High School in search of the robot Morty Maxwell is hiding in. They have to find the Master of Mischief before midnight otherwise he’ll make the whole school disappear!

Summary: Bucky and Steve are looking forward to their end of High school roadtrip when Bucky is surprised with the news of an arranged marriage to some guy he'd never met. To get out of it, Bucky runs away and joins the army. It had seemed a good idea at the time... Okay, that was a lie. Even Steve knew it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop Bucky from doing it.

Bucky’s Place by @pherryt​

marvel || winterhawk || Teen & up || No major warnings apply || 11,055 words || Complete

Summary: The Winter Soldier had splintered apart and someone new had walked out of the river. He didn't know who he was anymore, so he took the name the man on the bridge had given him, and he went off to figure out who he was. And then Clint Barton crashed through the window of the little place he'd managed to make for himself and turn everything upside down and maybe sideways.

From the Ashes by starkissed1

Norse Mythology || Loki/Thor || Explicit || No major warnings apply || 16,869 words || Complete

Summary: Ragnarok was a lie, at least in part, as all good stories tend to be. Destruction, death, and fire were all accounted for in this “final destiny of the gods.” But, the power of a god cannot be destroyed by heat and flame. The Norns know this, though they might not tell you. “What of Thor?” you ask, and rightly so, for the god of thunder fell in the battle and was consumed by the fire that ravaged Midgard. If final is not final, and the end is not the end, what comes from the ashes? (This is the fix-it nobody asked for where everyone's favorite problem starter, I mean solver, is tasked to find Thor reborn.)

Other tags: Myth AU, existential angst, minor character death, unexpected magical gender changes, Loki changes gender like it's socks, but we also get intersex!Thor, Loki does what he wants
