Scrap Anime Series Idea Stockpile (Collection 1)

Here's something you might have probably not expected of me - ideas for potential new anime series both in long/continuing and short/near-OVA/ONA (Original Video Animation/Original Net Animation) form!

My question to you, is, which of the following has the most potential that would be deserving to be seen on television or online?

Hash it out in the comments below which ideas jump out at you the most and seem like they'd be fun to see.

1) Gaze Upon the Yandere Minds - In this dark josei/seinen story, Institute 47 gathers up in a massive boarding school environment ladies of the yandere type from all over the world and foist upon them one unlucky young unimpressive everyman of the dandere type whom they take an interest in. The administrators' official policy is stated not to encourage any sort of lethal violence between participants, but secretly revel in their carnage that will soon unfold. Whoever lasts the longest will get to keep the everyman named Akira for herself. Not wanting to be any woman's possession or a tool of the crooked system, Akira takes it upon himself to work through each of the ladies and see what makes them the way they are for good or even for evil. Five of these ladies, also not wanting to be pawns of Institute 47's ways, take it upon themselves to protect Akira and bring down Institute 47's wretched program from the inside.

2) Warrior Princess of the Saitamas - In this dark bishojo/josei isekai story about escaping a broken home and finding your own happily ever after, Princess Katerina of Ruritania was able to find her happily ever after with her Prince Karlos of Jerezon. But after the Undead Armies of Vanth laid waste to the two kingdoms, Katerina took it upon herself to take up a sword and shield to avenge those who have been hurt. Trying to undo Vanth's curse, Katerina is cast out of the past and into the unfamiliar future of 21st Century Saitama, Japan. A place now losing all hope and in need of a true hero to bring a happily ever after, Saitama now has on its hands a heroine looking to bring hope even when all seems lost. Starting small and realizing she has Vanth's magic within her, Katerina frees a young effeminate boy Pao Kagashima from a life of abuse and depression with his intolerant family and they try to make sense of a senseless city.

3) Underground Escape - A spotlight is shone on prostitution, human trafficking and therapy by drugs in this dark josei/seinen story about a young woman and her MTF transgender twin sister who have just been released from jail after a month inside on charges of prostitution. Released from jail and knowing they have to sell their bodies in order to support their family and get their father the drugs he needs in order to manage his trauma and psychoses, Mizuho and Natsuka decide to make a deal with a friend of theirs who is one of the last police officers trying to do actual good. The deal is the two will secretly record any interactions the two may have with certain pimps and madams suspected to be engaged in human trafficking as well as toxic drug movements and report them back to police under code names. The two siblings soon uncover a web of darkness and horror as they move to break the cycles of child poverty.

4) Valkyrie Squadron - In this epic bishojo/bishonen magical girl/boy space opera, the Black Empire of Apophis has returned to wreak havoc upon the nine planets of the Solar System as well as the four primary asteroids which are home to numerous colonies of humans, animals, plants, machines and alien life forms. The four effeminate Spartan princes of the asteroids all must leave their kingdoms to join forces with the Valkyrie princesses across the Solar System to create an elite force through which they can stop the Apophis attacks. Disguised as rather effeminate schoolboys; Spartans Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Vesta soon befriend the girls who in truth are Valkyries Helios (Sun), Hermes (Mercury), Aphrodite (Venus), Gaia (Earth), Artemis (Moon), Ares (Mars), Zeus (Jupiter), Cronus (Saturn), Caelus (Uranus), Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto). With the powers of their arsenal, they fight back against Emperor Typhon.

5) Lone Vixen Tamaki - In this dark bishojo/bishonen drama, a troubled young trans girl who was born as Tamaki finds limited refuge from her cruel, terminally unhappy family in her few friends at school. When a Yakuza attack kills her parents and leaves her abusive siblings all in uncertain condition, one of the Yakuza agents takes pity on her and bequeaths her his sword, his gun and the money transferred from a raid on corrupt socialites to a credit card. Taking up the sword and gun to escape her destroyed home, Tamaki steals her father's car to evade the Yakuza and police determined to get her into foster families that worship conversion therapy to destroy and reforge her as the ideal man contrary to what she wants. On her journey over the Japanese islands to try and make enough for a one-way ticket out of Japan for Canada, a series of misadventures happens as she takes time to battle corruption and save new friends.

6) Revolutionary Girl Utena Reborn - In a spiritual continuation of Kunihiko Ikuhara's most groundbreaking masterpiece of shoujo, surrealist romance and magical girl drama as we first follow Anthy Himemaya as she scours the world trying to find the girl prince who truly cared about her in Utena Tenjou. On her journey, she meets a young hurting boy named Zenta who feels lost and alone in wanting the eternity of death to end his pain. Having survived her fall and gone into hiding knowing Akio may return to threaten her and Anthy again some time in the future, Utena while on the run comes across a runaway girl named Zuina trying to rescue her brother from his inner demons. Chased by various crooks and psychos wanting to possess either the kids that are tagging along with them or themselves, Anthy and Utena are on their course to reunion as they hope to break the cycle of death and heartbreak that Eternity uses.

7) Kio Kami: The Impossible Girl - The classic story of Sir James Matthew Barrie's children's novel Peter Pan gets multiple twists in this darkly comic, epic bishojo/bishonen fantasy isekai about a never-aging magical girl with extraordinary powers and a tiny dragonfly friend Gyoza Yukari who travels everywhere with her. Noticing several children including a femboy by the name of Doujin Washi in need of an escape from the horrors and humdrum of our own quite modern world, Kio and Gyoza whisk Doujin and some of his friends away to the vast paradise world of Arcadia. But terrors from both our world and Arcadia soon begin to seep across their frequent passageways - among such is the fierce yet voluptuous lady pirate Captain Quartney Sickle and the crew of her ship the Black Death. Kio and Doujin have to match wits and sword with Sickle to protect Earth, Arcadia and their inhabitants from the latter and all her beasts.

8) Recalling A Higher Ideal - In this alternate history epic drama for adult audiences, it is not Japan that joins the Axis Powers of World War II. Instead, the Axis consists of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperialist China. With their own sovereignty threatened by Yuan Shikai the Emperor of China, the Japanese imperial princess beseeches her father to renegotiate and or build trade and military alliances with Taiwan, the Southeast Asian countries and the Korean Republic to stand strong against Chinese aggression in the Pacific. In doing so, a Pan-Pacific Alliance is formed and its military fully integrated on gender and racial lines in order to stand tall. As an anthology, we follow the tests the Imperial Japanese Military must undergo if they are to be strong enough to protect and nurture the ideals they fight for even as they join the Allies of America, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union in battling the forces of tyranny.

9) The Cradles of Civilization - Inspired by disaster films such as The Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno; this riveting disaster thriller for seinen and josei audiences follows the graduating class of a Japanese public high school aboard a vast solid Dyson Sphere built long in the past by Earth colonists around the white dwarf Beta Sirius. But with their star Sirius B now weakening and ready to implode and possibly destroy the Sirius Dyson Sphere, every last student of Yggdrasil Public High School has to gather the survivors of humanity in order for a last-ditch escape into space to begin. Various challenges include profiteering companies now working to undermine relief efforts for their own gain, military and civilians unprepared for a bevy of calamities, and the collapsing Dyson Sphere's natural disasters. Not every soul will be able to escape, but the students of Yggdrasil will try to save the cradles of human civilization.

10) Super Surfboard Cross - In this action-packed yet humorous josei/seinen sports story; as a result of global climate chaos, the World Surfing League (WSL) is established and makes its ultimate move to make the first ever surfboard cross racing events which get the attention of naturalists, scientists and engineers alike to create a sporting experience that will outdo the World Series of Major League Baseball and the Super Bowl of the National Football League in enthusiasm. We follow a group of competitive surfers from all walks of life as they take part in the first World Circuit of Super Surfboard Cross as they all race on many islands in surfing downhill across carefully constructed courses laden with water-bound rails, berms and jumps to perform nigh-improbable tricks and compete for the gold, silver and bronze. But can they come together to foil a psychotic team of corrupt fixers who have their eyes on the victories?

11) God Mars Re: 2999 - In this reboot of the shonen mecha drama from 1981, humanity is part of a galactic civilization in the year 2999. But young Takeru Myoujin AKA. Mars and his few friends discover the former was meant to destroy the Earth that adopted him on orders from the evil Emperor Zuul of the planet Gishin if Zuul is to conquer space. Hoping to stop the evil planet Gishin as well as to save his own life, Takeru and his friends must join the Earth Defense Forces to combine Earth and Gishin technologies to combat the Zuul invasion forces. Whenever Earth is in danger, Takeru (pilot of the robot Gaia) is able to summon the five other secretly created units to combine with Gaia to assemble the titular Six-God Combination God Mars. The five other robots are Sphinx (piloted by Namida Akagi), Uranus (piloted by Naoto Ijuin), Titan (piloted by Rose), Shin (piloted by Mika Hyuuga) and Ra (piloted by Akira Kiso).

12) Song of the Amazons - In this eclectic (both in demographics and genres) story, college-age girls Ayame, Ikumi, Umeko, Erika and Ompu by day form the pop rock band the Amazons wowing swooning fans with power anthems and love ballads to challenge a cutthroat world in which youth and virginity are commodified. By night, however, the Amazons use the magical energy they gained from their audience's enthusiasm as well as five colored diamond rings to generate powered armor out of thin air and become the Amazon Claymores. As the Amazon Claymores, they ride through the mean streets of Tokyo to battle a most fiendish assortment of criminals and monsters with limited assistance from the police. Their battles also can be of a psychological from trying to avoid fame making them entitled and snobby brats by day and by night trying to avoid turning into the absolute monsters threatening all the five fight for.

13) Promise You Won't Forget Me - This dark josei/seinen story opens with the shocking and heartbreaking suicide of one Zenjin Mushou, the classmate and crush of Ichiko Yumori. In her search for answers, Ichiko turns to all the social media presences and materials Zenjin left for her over the 7 CDs he recorded telling why he killed himself including a spherical die through which she is able to venture into the digital worlds and back. Meeting with Zenjin's few online friends and completing the quests he left unfinished, Ichiko pieces together the main reasons for and inciting events leading up to his suicide and the deaths of his social media presences before he could rebuild himself. Both online and in the real world, Ichiko unravels the cultures of abuse, intolerance, assault, and pain that broke her boyfriend's heart. With her friends also getting involved and wanting revenge, Ichiko must remember Zenjin and save someone else.

I Need To Know TBB Headcanons (S3 SPOILERS POSSIBLE PLEASE BE WARRY)

What do you think the batch spends their time doing on Pabu? What occupies their time now that they are retired? I have only pieces of ideas but I have been tryna find some other folks thoughts. But to get er' rollin' I'll share my ideas.

Wrecker

• He's definitely a community man from what we saw so

- Maybe he babysits

-Maybe he helps fish like we saw in the past

- Or perhaps he carries heavy equipment for repairs/building

Hunter

- Maybe he helps figure out the best fishing spot for every passing day

- Maybe he builds boats or surfboards? Definitely got old surfer vibes from him at the end of Bad Batch (I am so sorry but I could not get Barbie's dad(?) from that one surfer movie out of my head)

Crosshair

• Cross was the hardest to figure out for me due to how little of what he is skilled at outside of being a soldier. But once I thought about it I couldn't stop LMAO

- I think for a long time he struggles with figuring out what he wants to do now that he's free to be whoever he wants to be. He's used being told what to do, and now that he doesn't have someone controlling him he's having a difficult time adjusting. He probably asks Hunter to give him tasks frequently, and after a while he's given the task of taking care of himself. Learning what he wants.

- I definitely imagine him trying multiple things such as: fishing, farming, all the good stuff

- I see him landing on something creatively driven like tattoos and painting. But I do think it takes a lot of time and soul searching before he gets to that point.

- Probably really distant for awhile, he wants to be around the others but feels he doesn't deserve it

- Reluctant on getting a prosthetic, I can see him choosing not to have one

Omega

• Omega wasn't too difficult for me, seeing what she ends up going off to do at the end of the last episode.

- After using pieces of the Marauder to fix up her own ship with Phee (and Tech depending on your thoughts on it), I see her convincing Phee (again, and Tech depending on your opinion) to give her flight lessons.

- She practices the Tech Turn often, doing her best to perfect it. (If you think Tech should stay dead then let's say she does this late at night on her own and has gotten in trouble for it a plethora of times. She can never quite do it as he does. But if you're like me and he lives, then of course he'll help teach her.)

- Omega probably sneaks off a lot, wanting to explore her new home

- Then I think she eventually gets into contact with Herra, and that she's the one who convinces her to become a rebel pilot

Tech

• In my perfect Bad Batch, Tech is alive. He will always be here in my mind; even if I'll have to mourn him as a character in canon alive and well.

- Tech spends much of his time recording and noting down the things he learns about the new island he lives on. Likely going off with Omega.

- I think Tech and Phee try a relationship at one point or another, maybe they decide to break up, maybe they're together for the long run. His calm nature mixing with her unpredictable one perhaps. She helps him feel more comfortable with himself, and he reminds her she doesn't need to change her stories to make them enjoyable. I think he'd love hearing about the artifacts she brings to Pabu. But it's possible their personalities don't mix well. We didn't get to see as much of their relationship on screen as I would have liked. (Came to rewrite this a bit. Was worried with how I wrote it didn't come across as I wanted)

- Tech probably has his own repair shop, or maybe he creates his own inventions.

More Group Stuff

- Definitely live together at least for a long while

- I think Hunter would get into a relationship before anyone else, then Wrecker getting into one kinda on accident? He'd be super oblivious and go on dates without realizing that's what they are. I think Cross n Tech would be last if they were to get into relationships (personally I see them on the aromantic spectrum, specifically Tech being demi and Cross being recip-romantic or Grey-romantic)

- They do a lot of stuff together, swimming, getting tattoos from Cross, therapy, family dinner all the lovely stuff

And I Think That's All I Got

Thanks for letting me ramble in your feed :)

act i playlist + quotes from the adaptation

after much deliberation (i randomly became super isncure an convinced myself that i have the world's worst taste in music?) here is the act i playlist, avaliable both on youtube/youtubemusic and spotify

it follows the act's narrative beats, and i've associated a quote with each song so you can see kind of whereabouts each would fall in the narrative

most of the songs have lyrics linked on yt music but since not all of them do, i'll made a post here with all the lyrics at some point haha

ik this is a long playlist (around 2 hours, the lngth of a film) but every song is solid and contributes towards the narrative - put this plylist on while you're cooking or cleaning or smth if not while you're reading

let's begin!

lovefool (cover) - cammie ja

He at last found the solitary figure he had been looking for - a young man in the distance who was walking out of the sea. No oversized hat. No coconut. Instead he held firmly under one arm a surfboard. Beomgyu watched as the man adjusted his grip on the board, realised in an instance that it was slipping out of his grasp and grabbed back at it with such swagger that this whole sequence seemed deliberate - a well-rehearsed performance, a pantomime of the capacity to err, of mortality. Something about the strength of his hand, something about the casual certainty that was shamelessly evident in such a menial, mundane action reawakened in turn something in the cavity of Beomgyu's chest. The man was cocky, sure - but he looked so cool.

summer madness - kool & the gang, lauryn hill, youssou n'dour

Could you please kill me?  What? These were the first words we would ever exchange, the first words I had ever heard him speak. It was the blue time of year, that odd liminal period where it was neither the dry nor the rainy season. We were stood on the boardwalk. A childish stranger perhaps only a year or two younger than me, the boy who had just asked me to assist in his suicide cleared his throat and repeated his bizarre request - Will you please kill me?

local god (live) - everclear

And so, as a reminder that he was not the kind of madman to be crossed, the bastard became a Buddha.

chan chan - buena vista social club

The boy was never more than a corner away. He kept tripping over curbs trying to keep up with me. Silhouettes wore white polo shirts and lurked in doorways and shouted from balconies. Fitted with thin metal bars, open windows offered slitted glimpses of domestic scenes. I called out greetings as I went. Noise polluted the streets surrounding the marketplace. The boy heard only Spanish. He smelled unknown dried fruits. He passed a butcher who was hacking at pork, whose hands were bare and knife was dirty. 

too much time in my house alone

Hey. I lowered my voice slightly, tried to sound a little more gentle. Hey. Brat. Though it was dark outside, the day wasn’t over yet. Come inside. Raindrops reverberated against the corrugated awning, ringing out into the twilight like gunshots.

i always wanna die (sometimes) - the 1975

Wind blew in from somewhere distant. Choking still, he struggled to breathe. The phantom pressure of the rope, the weight of the life he was being forced to endure just as before - these suffocated him equally. 

last words of a shooting star - mitski

And if I fall asleep like this? Will I wake up tomorrow? [...] His consciousness ebbed and flowed. A deep-sea sleep. That of someone who didn’t care whether or not they’d wake to see the morning sun.

mexico - penelope scott

Each thick as a brick, each containing around a thousand pesos, around a million Korean won. In Seoul this could be around enough for a deposit on a three-room apartment. Here a man could devote his whole life peeling mangoes and still he wouldn’t have the luxury to even dream of possessing this much money.

talk show host (cover) - over

I spent my days striving not to live as my father had. Trying not to die as he had, either. My life was as dense as those stone mountains that I had buried my him in. I was starting to get tired. 

exit music (for a film) - radiohead

We lay that way for a while, just staring. A ceaseless void, the abysm in his eyes was profoundly alarmed by the anarchy in mine. I was the first of the two of us to fall asleep first. My breathing was a slow, easy-going tide. Its consistency, its inevitability, provided him with an unexplainable comfort. Whilst I slept his gaze remained fixed on me. He realised now, as I lay placid and harmless, how young I really was. He was much slighter than me, though we were around the same height. I must have only been two or three years older than him. When I was awake, I seemed much more weathered, more worldly. It was a pity, really. That someone so young had ended up so troubled. He smiled faintly. Ridiculous - who was supposed to be worried about who? Soon enough, his eyes closed, too. The blanket was rough against his skin. The sound of rain grew louder.

forgiven - alanis morissette

His lashes fluttered as his vision focused. The boy's eyes intrigued me. I couldn’t for the life of me determine why this was - there was nothing particularly special about the colour of his irises. Still, the longer I stared the more I sensed that, hidden deep behind his perpetually expanding pupils, was buried an unknowable and unnameable something. An endless abysm. He opened and closed his mouth, shying out of my sight. Even though he feared me, or perhaps because he feared me, he was hungry for the gentle undertones that swam occasionally underneath the blatant irony of my speech…I’m sorry...his voice sounded like a sputtering schoolyard water fountain…can’t I stay here for one more day? 

saviour complex (copycat killer version) - phoebe bridgers & rob moose

With his chin raised, I noticed for the first time the discoloured impression of a line as thick as my ring finger that twisted around itself and ran under his jaw, stretching from just below one earlobe to the other - a symmetrical ligature mark that, though faint, had been burned into his skin. The injury certainly wasn’t too recent. How had I not seen this scar before? Perhaps because he was always looking down?  There was so much about him that I didn't know. That I would never know.

death letter blues - son house

I spoke without looking at him. Still not gone? I thought I told you to leave? He was watching me attentively. The situation was dire. He’d made up his mind. There are other ways to make a living. 

thepath - facesoul

Neither of us spoke. After a few minutes he stepped up onto the raised ledge that spanned the length of the boardwalk, now standing a full head taller than me, and he walked toe-to-heel with his arms outstretched like an airplane, like an angel. [...] I tilted my head up to look at him. If I didn’t know better, I might have thought he was happy. He couldn’t be human. He didn’t look mortal. He didn't look like he wanted to die. 

readings from 'on the road' - jack kerouac

I’d wandered the country for many years but I’d never seen anything like this before. The place he had led me to was a world away from the Cuba I had come to know. I felt like a tourist.

no one loves you - ryan wright

Lounging out on the folded-out sofa, I took a long drag and drew out my exhale. He had never met anyone who smoked as tenderly as I did - my lips met my cigarette with the gentle affection of a man kissing his wife in the morning before heading out to his blue-collar job.

bad religion (cover) - cat powers

If God ever places my fate in your hands, please just throw me into the abysm. While most children had imaginary friends, in his youth the boy had privately named the space that thresholded heaven from hell and life from death the abysm, and though he would never confess it to a single soul, the thought of the abysm still comforted him more than Christ ever had. Yes, master. A strange request. A strange prayer.

swim good - frank ocean

We were paving the path towards our brave new world. We needed each other. We belonged to the same realm - though I yearned for heaven and salvation and him for the oblivion of the abysm, we were both hungry for a world that wasn’t this one. He had nowhere to sleep…but he did have money. I decided to let him live out his last few days in my house.  Despite the unavoidable fact that our souls had bonded overnight, in the light of morning the brat was quick to get back on my nerves.

dustbowl - ethel cain

He hadn’t meant to sound demanding or ungrateful. He just really didn’t want to walk. From inside the old converse I’d lent him, his broken toenail shot pain up his leg every time he took a step.  The Bureau de Change was only a twenty minute walk away - a breeze for me, but potentially agonising for the brat.  The journey by car took only three minutes.

quien es el - mision divina

pagafantas - el klanka

KNSL? [...] Pagafantas.

duvet - boa

When I thought of pink I thought of sunsets - the ones that tourists went crazy over despite being well aware that they were witnessing an event that would occur identically tomorrow and had occurred identically every yesterday since the beginning of time. Even in my childhood, sunsets had suffocated me. They represented endings. Infinite compounded endings. How many times could one thing end? It made me glad to be human, the thought that I would only have to die once. Driving back along the road by the boardwalk I took note of the glowing hue the sunset was casting intimately across the slopes and valleys of his face - a flushing aphroditean pink. 

smithereens - boyish

The brat was aggravatingly persistent and equipped with infinite and highly questionable methods of fighting for my attention. Excuse me. His voice was strangely affectionate. He put his hand on my knee and leaned in close to me. Does your car really not play music?  I pulled the car over and shifted into neutral. 

how i get myself killed

Dongjae laughed hollowly. All people’s eyes turn the same.

rugged country - japanese breakfast

The national broadcasting station ran all day. A pant-suited lady in a newsroom set explained every hour that we were in the middle of an unprecedentedly dry rainy season. Around this time each year the grey sky would usually be bucketing down nonstop, but this summer’s sun was shining so uncompromisingly bright that the shrimps in the rice fields were dying in droves because they had no water left to swim in. The boy knew none of this. He couldn’t figure out how to work my television.

The boy knew none of this. He couldn’t figure out how to work my television. Even if he trial-and-errored every single button on the remote until the television came on, every single channel was in Spanish. 

mama, you been on my mind (studio outtake - 1993) - jeff buckley

His mother’s faith had been one of her most beautiful qualities, a reverence that was the colour of whispered hymns and stained glass windows in the early morning. Back then the boy had loved the Lord as fervently as her. Now, sneezing as he accidentally breathed in a noseful of stray cigarette ash, he cursed at the same God his mother had praised until her dying breath. To the boy my house was situated at the furthest corner on earth from the cathedral in his hometown. These four walls contained an absurd communist island nation - unmapped, unclaimed, ungoverned. 

you know i'm no good (live from shepherd's bush empire) - amy winehouse

He didn’t turn around. Who else? Fair enough. Why did you do it? For your own good. Also fair enough.

the calender (live from itunes sessions) panic! at the disco

So when are you planning on killing me? The blunt numbness of his words took me aback momentarily. We’d broached this topic before - perhaps a thousand years ago? - though he'd never raised it this directly or seriously.

winterwind - jennifer kothe

Caterpillars would rear their heads. Brown birds would eat bugs out the gutter. Children would return to school. The street dogs would go into labour. Before spring could be reborn next May, summer, then autumn, then winter would all have to die. No matter how slowly, though, spring would come again. Irrefutably. By then October 27th would probably be nothing but a strange and distant dream.

i'm kissing you (full length version) - des'ree

The boy put the tape into the videoplayer underneath the television. He more than suspected it might be hardcore, obscure porn. He pressed the play button on the remote.

love theme from 'romeo & juliet' (a time for us) - johnny mathis

He finished the film over three days. Romeo shot and and he smoked and he kissed the angel Juliet as she lay dead, before turning the gun on himself. A double suicide. A violent end. The credits began rolling.

different water - honey gentry

Are you happier these days? Toto retorted - Having fun and being happy are very different. I should have guessed as much.

exit music (for a film) - scala & kolacny brothers

Tonight was the first time in a while that Toto had fallen asleep after me. Closing his eyes, he offered the Lord a silent and selfish prayer. Don’t let Buda die before I do. A soft and strange lullaby, his breath fell gentle on my neck.

the reason thsi playlist has so mayn views already is becaus eo fhow obssessively i edited it haha

i promise i'll format this post better at a later point but for now i just gotta get over myself and put my madsummer posts out there lol

much love - hometown.angel

Torch (cont) 7.7

meeting Crystal, dropping in on Chris, and leaving for Earth N and Lord of Loss

“Never?  Come on, you stepped on me.” “Surfed! I used you as a surfboard.” “Yeah, that’s so much better.”

some nice cousin banter

“I can send somebody to get Chris, if you like.  He should be in his room, if he didn’t go for a walk.” “Chris?” Skye asked. “Yes,” the woman said.  “Why don’t you go, Skye?  You’ll burn off some energy if you run.”

with the earlier talk about crossing boundaries maybe Val should let Chris know since he trusts her and give him the option to agree to the unexpected meeting or not

“The kids are scared of him, apparently.” “He’s odd.  He celebrates being odd.”

in my experience this makes me wanna say that Chris got bullied and started attacking until everyone was too scared to keep doing it. people don't like weird and whatever's going on with his body wouldn't help

“Everyone’s getting together this afternoon,” I said.  “If we waited for the internet to come back or for you to turn your phone on, you might have missed it.  If you don’t like it, keep your phone charged.”

on one hand, Chris did get annoyed when he was left out last time. on the other, i don't remember him being super pissed about that and he seems like someone who would get being unable to be reached given the portals messing things up. seems like Victoria is applying how she handles Kenzie to this when that's the exact opposite she needs

“It was nice talking to you, Victoria,” Val said.  “Maybe we could meet for a friendly coffee sometime.” Chis wheeled around, ready to jump right into the fray with more incensed words. Val put her hands up in mock surrender. It didn’t necessarily help me, but I could almost see why she’d done that.  The push, the pull, letting Chris know she could fight back.

ah yes, show the kid that's relying on you for housing/food/medical supplies that you can do whatever you want including the thing that he very much wants not to happen. brilliant

“You’re skipping Tristan?” “I’m trying not to skip anyone,” I said.

stares in knowing what Tristan's fate is

“It doesn’t work that way.  I’ve heard from multiple people now that people are scared of you and you’re bending rules.  That warrants someone asking a few mild questions to figure out if everything’s handled.”

y'all literally broke the law in the last two chapters. Chris breaking a couple rules by taking a few medical supplies that he very likely needs and going on long walks that again, he very likely needs because his power is weird, is small potatoes

“Chris,” I said.  “We can’t help you if you don’t share.  I know power stuff, I studied it, I saw a lot of it at the Asylum.”

are we throwing Kenzie at another problem?

“I’ll go to her for help before I go to you. I’d go to Bonesaw, if she was still around.”

obviously Chris is saying this to hurt Victoria, but it's also just kind of true? i don't think there's anyone else he could turn to for healing issues relating to powers with Dragon being limited to her flesh computers

He raised his voice.  “You want to push me!?  I’ll push back!” I stopped in my tracks. “That kind of pushing gets you killed,” I said.  “Or worse.” ... “But where I draw the line is scaring or hurting others.  Make nice.  Don’t give people a reason to ask questions.”

???

“Can we get some fresh air?” I asked.  “Wait on the other side of the portal?  At least until Chris’ train arrives?”

annnnd they're starting without him anyway

End notes:

yeah Chris was a huge dick to Victoria by bringing up Amy, but she also wasn't really great with him either. there's lots of reasons why everyone might be scared of him even if it was just him early on making mistakes and being cruel. lots of time passed and cornering him so soon after losing Jessica, something he mentioned a lot, wasn't cool. he does seem scared about losing anything else in his norm and Victoria could could have made that happen even if she thought she defended him to Val

DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

ELMA CHARACTER CARD - MOON PATH #1

━

After striking a pose and waiting for a second, the sound of the shutter clicking echoes.

ELMA : This is an impressive camera! It's the latest model straight from Reckord! The photos look so vibrant, don't they? 

EMMA : Yeah, it looks like the shots turned out well. 

ELMA : Alright, next, let's strike a pose like this!

EMMA : Sure! Is there anything else I can do to help?

ELMA : You, Emma? Hmm...I think I've got a good idea.

EMMA : Well, let's hear it! 

ELMA : Hehe~♪ It's simple! Photo-shoot time!

EMMA : Photo-shoot time...? 

ELMA : Yep! You know when someone says, "I got a cute girlfriend or boyfriend thanks to surfing!"? We can put that in the brochure. And it might boost the number of surfers! 

EMMA : You really think so?

ELMA : Absolutely! It's super effective! Plus, it's a sport, so it improves your figure too, right? You can totally get a lover while having fun surfing, it's a win-win situation! 

ELMA : If this encourages people to start surfing, wouldn't that be awesome!? 

EMMA : I see...

EMMA : (He wants to take couples' photos, huh...Well, it could be great for promoting the Passionate Ocean guild.)

ELMA : Okay, let's do it one more time! Put on a killer smile! 

EMMA : Alright. 

ELMA : Ahaha! Come on, Emma. Come closer! We're supposed to be a couple, you know!

EMMA : Yeah...Right.

ELMA : Ooh~ This one's so good too! Haha, these photos are looking awesome! Now, how about we go into the ocean for a shot? I'll get the surfboard and some tea so we can take a break before we start. While I do that, make sure you warm up!

EMMA : Sure, got it! 

Elma leaves with a cheerful grin plastered across his face. His steps full of energy and excitement. I wish I could say I was feeling the same...But my nerves are getting the best of me.

EMMA : (...Maybe after warming up, I should swim a bit to distract myself.)

After finishing my warm-up routine, I take a quick swim in the ocean. It's quickly approaching dusk, and the setting sun is reflected on the water, gleaming beautifully.

EMMA : Ah, this is so nice.

EMMA : (Swimming in the sea like this...I couldn't have imagined doing this before, but it's become natural since getting involved with the Passionate Ocean guild.)

EMMA : (For Elma and the others, I really do need to work hard on this PR campaign.)

As I look back to the beach, I notice that I'm farther from the shore than I realized.

EMMA : (I should head back soon...)

With that thought in mind, I start swimming toward the shore. However...

EMMA : (...Huh?)

EMMA : (I'm not getting any closer to the shore. In fact, I seem to be drifting further and further away!)

Horrifying thoughts crossed my mind. The worst case scenario playing over and over in my head. Panicking, I flail my arms in a desperate attempt to swim faster.

EMMA : Ah...!

A sudden large and powerful wave rushes over my head, plunging me into darkness. Sea water fills my mouth, making it difficult to breathe. All I can do is writhe and gasp for air. As my consciousness fades, in the distance, I thought I heard Elma scream.

ABOUT

Jared was the result of a sordid love affair that occured over the summer of 1993. His father had come over to the States on a gap year, and had ended up crossing paths with his mother whilst perusing Aurora Bay as a last stop. It was a crazy romance that ended with his return to Marseille, France, and her pregnant with a baby boy.

Jared didn't grow up knowing much of his father, he'd receive postcards and letters, but Adrien had only ever visited a handful of times. The last being when he was just ten years old. It wasn't until he was older and able to gain his own income, that he was able to seek out his father in France and rekindle their connection. However, it was a long journey to get to that.

Jared wasn't the smartest kid in school, and took on the role as a typical jock. He was more interested in American Football than adding numbers or finding out about history of the world. He had the outlook that he didn't need to know that stuff when he'd be playing in the Super Bowl.

He was considered an 'asshole' in high school, except he had the armor of being one of the school's top athletes for it to be allowed to slide. He never intentionally meant to come across that way, but he was sarcastic in nature and a joker at times, he never wanted to take life too seriously and would openly act frivolous around those stressing about grades and exams, and being unable to relate.

When he was on the field, he'd be often on the hood of his car smoking a joint, or out on the beach, surfing the waves. If he had to pick, his love of the water came before his love of the game. Although, as it was reminded to him by his peers, a surfboard wouldn't get him into college, unless he wanted to become a labelled professional - which, in his eyes, would have taken all the fun out of it for him. He didn't want his escape to become a chore.

At home, Jared always felt overlooked by his mother. Perhaps, it was due to her lifestyle and the excessive amount of children coming and going all the time. But he rarely stayed in the house, unless it was a requirement, to watch his siblings, etcerea. He was very protective of them though, and would often try and act like a second father sometimes, rather than an annoying brother. He'd always look out for them, and make sure their needs were met, and that they were never overlooked.

Somehow, he got through high school (with the help of some more intelligent and driven kids) and was able to earn himself a scholarship to UC, Berkeley to play for the California Golden Bears. There was no way he'd be going anywhere on his just average grades.

He decided to major in the Spieker Undergraduate Business Program, because nothing else even remotely interested him. It was through this that he learned basically that he could make himself a lot of money, with very little effort - if he played the game right.

His dreams of playing in the Super Bowl started to fade, and American Football became more of a past time, as he became invested in learning about what he could business and management-related. Jared Taylor, CEO, had a nice ring to it.

He invited his father to his graduation, but he never attended - neither did his mother, and he likes to believe that perhaps she was busy or simply forgetful, having her hands full with his siblings. Although, he often thinks about how he'd marked it on the family calendar, drawing circles around the date in red biro.

Jared returned to Aurora Bay, and couldn't bare to live back in that overcrowded house with his mother and siblings. He got himself a job through a Graduate scheme over Culver City, California, and saved up enough to be able to buy a rundown house in Seabrook Quarter, Aurora Bay. He slowly started to gut the place and do it up himself, very slowly, with every paycheck going on something new each month for the house.

Eventually, when he was settled, he noticed the old Surf Shack had gone up for sale. He so desperately wanted to get back into his surfing, and wondered if it was time to put his business degree to use. After much deliberation, he purchased the building and rebranded it as Surf's Up.

He's a fairly laid back owner, and he trusts those he hires to do their jobs, but also come to him with any issues. He sees his employees as family and nothing less, he'd fight to the death for them as he would his own siblings.

[vaaaaaiolet]

This summer, you're a swimming instructor. The cute lifeguard that rescued you from drowning in the deep end of the pool last week invites you out for a romp on the beach and you end up getting a little in your head.

Lucky for you, Leon's a dab hand at his job. Especially for you, even if he's off duty.

f / m, fluff, romance, body image issues, banter, tw: eating issues, reader is awkward and body conscious :( but leon is a sweetheart and a TOTAL flirt, slight?? afab nsfw

a/n: title from "my fun" by suki waterhouse! i'm finally reaching the end of my manic writing streak, and since summer's in full swing, you all better know that you look STUNNING no matter what!! your incredible support means the world to me <3

find more drabbles in my collection: sketches for my sweetheart the drunk!

word count: 662 // read on ao3

Can’t do it, nope.

You skitter back under the shade of an umbrella blooming on the beach. The water’s beautiful today. Incessant little waves lap at your feet, coaxing you into the turquoise coast. 

The sinking feeling in your stomach outweighs any of its appeal.

He spots you on his way back from his truck. You’re swaddled in a towel big enough for the both of you, buried in a book that you find super interesting (once you turn it right side up), and just as you get into the nitty gritty of how to win friends and influence people, your reading gets swiped up from right under your nose. “Hey!” 

Leon blinks innocently, twisting his wrist to read the cover, “You’re into this kinda stuff?”

“It’s how I’m so winning,” you cross your arms over your stomach, whatareyousaying?, “and influential. To people.”

“To people.” He repeats.

“Uh huh.”

Way to go. If the cute lifeguard didn’t think you were weird for asking if he knew how to swim, he’s definitely going to think you’re weird now. What kind of swimming instructor doesn’t swim at the beach?

And as you think you’ve screwed it all up with the only cute guy who’s asked you out all summer, Leon just chuckles, hunkering down on the sand next to you. “You’re influential, I’ll give you that. Maybe I’ll put my swimming off until later too.”

So Leon saves you again, like he did at the deep end of the pool last week.

“Toss me something from the cooler?” he asks.

He shucks off his shirt, revealing a set of well-earned abs. Jesus, they ripple, they’re waves. You’d happily take a surfboard to his six-pack. 

Sadly, you settle for handing him a Coke instead.  

“Is something the matter?” he asks after a bit. Leon almost sounds shy, his cheeks a sunkissed pink to match as he sips.

You shake your head no as winningly as possible.

“Are you sick? Cramping?” Oh, he’s a sweetheart, “‘Cause we can go anywhere you want. I just thought since you teach swimming…” His fingers inch towards your towel-covered thigh. 

“Seriously,” you laugh, “it’s not a big deal, you go swim.”

“Really? Cause I’m thinking the pretty girl I finally convinced to go to the beach with me is going to run the other way the minute I turn my back.”

Your face sears with heat as you open your mouth and nothing comes out. 

“Kidding, I swear. Wanna make sure you’re okay.”

You wrap the towel a little tighter around your stomach, and Leon’s brow pinches. “What’s that all about?”

“Just not feeling like I look my best,” you admit, glancing over to the picnic basket you brought along, “It’s just for today, I don’t like how I look and maybe I should go easier on the food-” 

“Absolutely not.” 

The sharp pitch of his voice snaps your eyes back up as he plucks a nectarine out of the basket and slips it into your hand. He won’t take no for an answer – did he see how shaky your legs were at the pool this morning? 

“You spent all day chasing your swimming class around; you need energy to kick my ass at Chicken like you promised, remember?”

“Come on, it’s not that serious. I just missed breakfast.” You’re mumbling now, sounding not at all influential or winning, “I had enough energy for today’s lesson anyway.”

“You’ll lose your boobs.” Leon shrugs, sinking his teeth into another nectarine before you smack him on the shoulder. A scandalized gasp tears out your throat as he laughs.

“That’s a stretch!”

“I don’t make the rules. Eat. Land or water, you’re gorgeous both ways.”

And there he was again, doing what he does best. The sinking feeling lifts with each bite you take of the fruit, and just maybe, you might not have messed this all up.

“Attagirl.”

You meet Leon’s grin with an idiotic one of your own. “Charmer.”

“Pretty girl.”

fun fact: i once got flirted with like leon does to reader at the end but that guy did it much worse and it was a total ick 💀 lowkey i might not keep this up either AHGHG

my surf trip to bali.

I left Phuket on the 6th of July to take my flight to Bali, Indonesia for my holiday which took an unexpected turn. I took my flight to Bali Indonesia for my first ever surf trip and as I arrived and left the airport, I was found flabbergasted as the first problem I encountered was the rental car. I was worried that the rental car was not big enough to fit a surfboard in the trunk (the car is a Honda havenza). We made our way to the house we rented at Canggu close to the beach, the house was beautiful mansion with a koi pond at the entrance with stepping stones to cross it as you entered. 

 The first day I was surfing an Almerick short board that I had rented for the day, I had been getting used to it for most of the day but just as sunset hit I clicked in and hit some steezy tricks in the water. After the sun had set, I paddled in towards the shore being super stoked with the session I had just finished. I came into shore and collapsed on the sand exhausted, and I still had to walk home. I stumbled my way into the outdoor bath connected to my room and had a nice long hot bath, it felt superb after beaning in the 19* water for the entire day. I made my way to the dining table and gazed upon the feast I was bound to have, a massive meal prepared by the private chef that came with the villa. He had cooked a big pot of paradelle bolognaise, as I shredded through the plate of food exhausted after my day of surf I finished and made my wat to the bed where I crumbled on impact and was knocked out. 

The next couple of day I surfed at the same spot but after a week and a half I decided to rent another house in Padang Padang just before they held the wsl surfing contest. Having already bought 2 new surfboards I had already taken time to get used to them so as soon as I hit the water and paddled out to the reef, I was confident in my ability to surf these big barrelling waves and as I paddled to catch the first wave. Sonner than I knew it was time for me to catch my flight back to Phuket and I can say that it was a successful three-week trip to Bali.
