summary: part 1 of tom blyth x med student (idk how many parts this will be so just enjoy!) also this is taking place pretty much modern day when tom is filming part 2 of season 2 of billy the kid.

mackenzie blaire was my best friend and roommate. we met our sophomore year at nyu when her boyfriend had broken up with her OVER TEXT and i found her in the bathroom at a bar sobbing her eyes out. i was at the time getting over a very toxic situation ship so we immediately hit it off and have been roommates and best friends ever since. she was currently pursuing her acting career while i was in my 4th year of med school. mackenzie had starred in billy the kid alongside tom blyth and ever since then let’s just say i had developed a crush on him. me and mackenzie had gone to see the ballad of songbirds and snakes in theaters together and let’s just say my crush had gotten ten times worse. so tonight was the people’s choice awards and tom and mackenzie were both nominated for season 2 of billy the kid. and of course mackenzie picked me to be her plus one!

“i am soo nervous.” i said pouring mackenzie and myself a cup of coffee.

“you will be fine and tom will be obsessed with you by the end of the night, trust me!” she said.

“but kenz you are the outgoing and bold one, me not so much. this is why you’re the actress and i’m still in college.” i sighed, med school was super interesting and everything i thought it would be but sometimes seeing how successful kenzie was kinda made me jealous.

“ok first of all, you are like the smartest person i know. and you are so funny so please don’t get yourself down. you are so positive about everyone else, it’s time for you to be happy for yourself!” kenzie always knew what to say.

“you’re so right. i am just going to enjoy myself and we are going to have the best time regardless that i might get rejected by the single hottest guy on the planet, tom blyth.” i laughed.

i was enjoying my coffee and reading my book when my phone buzzed. i picked it up to see that tom blyth started following me on instagram. i sprinted into mackenzie’s room.

“TOM JUST FOLLOWED ME ON INSTAGRAM!” i pretty much shouted at her.

“oh my gosh y/n! this is huge!! i have been texting him on and off today and i told him you were quite the catch soo….”

“what exactly did you say???” i love how she just casually brought up that she was texting tom blyth like what.

“just how charming and sweet and funny you are. i guess that made him want to go check out your insta and he must’ve liked what he saw.” she said eyebrows wiggling.

“now i literally cannot wait to get to see him tonight! this is actually insane am i dreaming right now??”

she laughed, “i’m so happy for you! looks like its time to get ready, tom won’t know what hit him when you get onto that red carpet!”

we walked into our shared bathroom. it was perfect to get ready because of the huge double sink vanity.

“kenz you have no idea how excited i am! the nerves are like completely gone and i just can’t believe i actually get to come with you!”

“yay, y/n i am so happy you get to come too. like who else would i want to party it up with on a red carpet?” she laughed and we started putting on our makeup. i loved getting all glammed up and mackenzie curled my hair. i finally put on my yellow floor length dress that was absolutely stunning. it hugged my body perfectly and had a slit that came up the side. i then slipped on my gold heels and stepped out to see mackenzie in her gorgeous coral dress.

“omg y/n you are STUNNING! tom isn’t going to be able to take his eyes off of you!!” mackenzie exclaimed.

“mackenzie you literally look like a disney princess right now, that dress was made for you!!” we definitely picked out our dresses to match each other and man we were going to kill it on the red carpet.

we stepped out of our car and i was immediately overwhelmed by the flashing of cameras and the amount of people at this event. i felt like a celebrity myself with all the pictures being taken of me and mackenzie. all of a sudden i heard someone saying mackenzie’s name. i turned around and bam there was tom blyth.

“tom!! it is so great to see you!” kenzie said leaning in for a hug. oh my goodness he looked even better in person if that was even possible. THE tom blyth was hugging my best friend. like obviously they had acted together in billy the kid and every time i watched it that felt insane to me but seeing this in person was crazy.

“mackenzie! it is so so good to see you darling.” tom said in his accent which was the hottest thing ever. then those blue eyes found their way to mine. “you must be y/n! kenzie won’t shut up about how awesome you are, it is such an honor to meet you in person.” he said. my shocked face was blocked from his view as he pulled me into a hug. oh my gosh i am hugging tom blyth right now at the people’s choice awards. he said it was an honor to meet me. is my life even real right now?? my mind was spinning.

“it is such an honor to meet you! you were so amazing in billy the kid and the hunger games, i’m glad people are understanding the tom blyth hype now.” i gushed, im sorry but i was completely fan girling like how could i not??

“oh the tom blyth hype? are you a supporter?” he questioned, was he flirting? was i flirting with tom blyth?

“i guess you could say that.” i blushed. now keep in mind somehow during this conversation kenzie had abandoned me so it was just me and tom on the red carpet which i guess i should thank her for but i was also very flustered.

“do you ever get used to these cameras?” i questioned tom as the cameras flashed at us.

“not really, but it’s easier to get through when you have company.” he winked. that sent butterflies erupting in my stomach. so what exactly had mackenzie said about me that made tom so flirty tonight??

“may i?” he asked wondering if he could slip his arm around my waist to pose for some more pictures. i just nodded and giggled. he laughed and snaked his arm around my waist.

“that dress is gorgeous on you, i can’t believe this is your first red carpet. you are such a natural at this.” tom whispered into my ear. feeling his breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine.

“i think it’s because you are doing all the work. i’m just standing here and looking pretty.” i shrugged making him laugh.

as we neared the end of the carpet there were stairs we had to climb down. and tom being the gentleman that he was, went down quickly so he could hold my hand and help me down the stairs. the lyrics from slut! by taylor swift started playing in my head ‘in a world of boys he’s a gentleman.’ we made our way inside and there were so many tables i had no where to go and i froze. tom smiled and placed his hand on the small of my back and led me to our table. gosh he was hot, funny, and so sweet.

“y/n! you made it. i see you and tom had a fun time on the carpet.” kenzie said as me and tom sat down. my seat was perfect - i was in between tom and mackenzie. other actors that worked on billy the kid were also seated at our table such as daniel webber and josh cruddas.

“y/n is quite the natural on the carpet. she was cracking jokes and that was the fastest the red carpet has ever gone for me, i think she needs to come to all of my events.” tom gushed.

“i wouldn’t mind. getting all glammed up is pretty fun and you were the one cracking all the jokes. i feel like i just stood there laughing the whole time.” i smiled. how were me and tom acting like old friends already, we just met? the chemistry was wild.

the lights started to dim signaling the show was about to begin. they were announcing action movie of the year and the ballad of songbirds and snakes won!! i shot out of my seat to congratulate tom. since he was right next to me i got to hug him first hehe.

“congratulations tom!!” i cheered as he hugged me. he smiled and went to hug kenzie and then he went up on stage with the rest of the hunger games cast. rachel zegler started her speech saying how thankful she was for the wonderful cast and the amazing fans. then tom said how this was such a wonderful opportunity and he was so thankful for the franchise and everyone showing so much support. i clapped and got a little teary eyes at their speeches.

tom returned to his seat and the rest of the table said their congratulations. the show continued and rachel zegler won the action movie star of the year. taylor swift won lots of course, loved her so much.

then billy the kid won an award and the whole table stood up except me and made their way to the stage. mackenzie and tom said a few words of thanks and i was so proud!

after the show we headed to the after party and me and kenzie headed over to the bar.

“what could you have possibly said to tom?” i questioned her, “he’s been all over me tonight!”

“i don’t know, he must just be in love with you, i mean who wouldn’t.” she replied. “now let’s party it up! i heard there was gonna be some karaoke too.”

i was sipping on my drink and mackenzie had wondered off to talk to some other friends of hers and i was content to people watch. that’s when tom walked up to the bar and asked for some whiskey.

he smiled at me and asked, “how is your first red carpet after party going?”

“well i heard there was going to be some karaoke so i figured some alcohol in my system would give me the confidence to go up there. i love karaoke but im just some random med student at the people’s choice awards.”

“would it help if we were to do a duet?” tom offered eyebrows raised.

“that would be so fun! what song are you thinking?” i was grinning so much right now.

“i’m up for anything, the point of karaoke is to not know the words anyway.”

“umm definitely not the point of karaoke but we’re just going to ignore that flaw of yours.”

“flaw of mine?? i feel personally attacked on that one l/n.” he said.

i rolled my eyes and held back a giggle, “ooh! i have a song idea, but no making fun of me blyth. why don’t we we do what makes you beautiful by one direction! that would be a great duet and the crowd would love it.”

“you would be a one direction fan.” tom chuckled.

“i told you no making fun of me. and you are so a fan too, i can just tell.”

“fine you caught me. i love listening to one direction.” tom says.

i grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the sign up sheet. kenzie came up to us, “you got tom to sign up for karaoke??” she exclaimed.

“oh yeah! we’re doing a one direction song, it’s gonna be great!” i replied.

“be ready to be blown away.” tom said laughing.

before i knew it, it was time to go up and sing our duet. “you ready for this, darling?” tom asked helping me up on stage.

“oh i was born ready tom.” i giggled.

the song starts and i start singing:

You're insecure, don't know what for

You're turnin' heads when you walk through the door

Don't need makeup to cover up

Bein' the way that you are is enough

then tom starts singing and i forget about everyone watching

Everyone else in the room can see it

Everyone else but you

then we sing together and i walk closer towards him

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh

That's what makes you beautiful

tom sings looking at me the whole time

So c-come on, you got it wrong

To prove I'm right, I put it in a song

I don't know why you're being shy

And turn away when I look into your eyes

then i sing back to him

Everyone else in the room can see it

Everyone else but you

then we both sing dancing around the stage

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh

That's what makes you beautiful

Na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na

Na, na-na-na, na-na

Na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na

Na, na-na-na, na-na

i sing and turn towards everyone watching and blush when i feel tom’s eyes on me

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't know you're beautiful

both of us:

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh

You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh

That's what makes you beautiful

everyone is cheering to loudly and i feel like i have just had my high school musical troy and gabriella moment with tom. i looked at him and he had the biggest grin on his face and i knew i looked the same way. we got off stage and tom goes, “did we really just do that?”

at the same time i go, “that was incredible.” we just start laughing. mackenzie runs up to us.

“guys that was literally straight out of a movie. you guys had every single person at this party invested.” she said.

“i think that was my best karaoke performance yet.” i said grinning.

“i think it’s time to quit acting and me and y/n can take this show on the road.” tom laughed.

“such a great idea.” i said laughing and grabbed his arm to stabilize myself in my heels.

kenzie dragged us onto the dance floor and at some point rachel zegler, josh rivera, and hunter schafer joined us on the dance floor. what?! my mind was blown as they all said how amazing me and tom’s performance was. we danced and drank and laughed and boy was it a blast.

the party winded down and mackenzie and i were making our way out.

“wait y/n!” i heard tom call as i was about to climb into our car. i turned around as he jogged up to me.

“tonight was so fun and i just wanted to say it was a blast getting to know you, can i by chance get your number?” he asked sheepishly.

“yes of course! i had the best time too, you really know how to party!” i said laughing. we exchanged numbers and he hugged me good bye.

“see you later tom.”

“hope to see you soon l/n.”

author’s note: hope you all enjoyed! i can’t wait to continue this series. leave suggestions for other stories you want to read and i will get to it!

Do you have any recs for the black phone?

DO I????

Do you guys know how exciting it is to get an ask that isn't about Avatar? Don't get me wrong, I love the Avatar ones, but the other kinds are such a fun change of pace. I have an equal obsession with a lot of other things, if not a bigger one.

So, I have a03 collections for a lot of things, and I do have one for The Black Phone as well. Check out The black phone was legit just like a fine movie it wasn't even that good why am I neck deep in this fandom sometimes I add more. As a massive fan of Steven King's IT (Reddie fics that don't make me think about the fact that this is a horror novel), I absolutely adore horror gay children, and as a massive stan of Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch (the goldfinch fics that don't make me sad and feel hatred towards english majors), I also love doomed love stories. Blah blah "the real horror is the blatant homophobia and trauma inflicted on the children that causes the death of pure imagination and dreams" there are better posts and essays written about that. So naturally I am a rinney stan so it's all rinney fics.

WARNING: This movie is a horror movie about a man kidnapping, heavily implied to be sexually abusing, and straight up murdering children, so there are some serious content warnings for some of these recs. Read at your own discretion. Avatar is a fandom I read pretty light shit for, I don't for The Black Phone always, so I'll try to be super clear with them.

the electric, synthesized, rock ballad of why finney blake can't have nice things by ECLIPSEWXTCH. I literally just made a post about this fic in relation to the pink concert. It's a modern au rinney fic where Robin and Finney lost touch as kids and find each other again as young adults, Robin a successful musician and Finney a student in college. If this fic is never completed I will burn this website to the ground. I have no content warnings for this fic unless you have an aversion to pure wholesomeness. Content warning for there never being as good a boyfriend as Robin Arellano? But we all knew that already.

Coffee boy by mikki_strange. It's a coffee shop au, man, it's adorable and it made me happy. No trigger warnings or anything, simply rinney fluff.

Holding On and Letting Go by Nizhoni93. CW: homophobia, implied underage rape, legit so much trauma and sadness. This is SUCH A GOOD FIC, oh my god. It's one I've reread a couple times now, despite it's length. I have recced this before because I brought it up in reference to the beloved and famed nocorro ghost au. Holding On and Letting Go is the INSPIRATION for all my sad nocorro ghost thoughts. It's entirely from Robin's first person pov after Finney has killed the Grabber and they other boys have moved on. Robin can't leave Finney, and spends his time haunting the other boy and watching as he suffers while Robin struggles too. It is. The biggest bummer ever. It's so heartbreakingly tragic. Even as Robin is describing all these big feelings, his love for Finney or the guilt he feels for having hurt all these people with his death, he'll say something like "And I was thirteen" and I remember he's a fucking eLEMENTARY SCHOOLER. I cried a counted total of nine times reading this fic. Highly recommend especially if you're into the nocorro ghost au. The chapter where the psychic tells Robin he's only hurting Finney by being there? I'll literally kill myself. The homophobia is fairly blatant, and although mentioned rarely the rape and Robin's disgust and shame around it is a hard read.

We Stand Together by HeavensAether. Serious trigger warnings for this one. It's almost a dead dove, tbh. Basically a rewrite of The Black Phone where all the kids are alive and in captivity at once, so they develop a fairly strong bond. The main draw for me was the psychological depth it takes into Finney as he works with the ghosts around him and tries to retain his sanity, his relationship with Robin, and the mystery of how they'll get out with Finney's powers. If dark bummers of a fic aren't your jam, this isn't for you! CW: underage rape, disassociation, homophobia, transphobia. Tbh the rape is (while not graphic) fairly disturbing and goes as a method of showing a characters disassociation. If it was in an earlier chapter, I'd probably not have continued reading. As it were, it's pretty easy to skip those parts, which I would recommend as what little I did read I did not enjoy!

And You Keep On Living by Nichknack (BBCotaku). CW: more common The Black Phone homophobia and also trauma and abuse, but I think so far this one is non-con mention free. It's basically just a post movie fic but where the timeline changes essentially, Finney and Gwen wake up and the ghost boys are all back and the world around them doesn't remember the Grabber and all of those events never happened. Some good rinney as always with a side of brance and it's very interesting, I can't imagine where it'll go.

Five Times Someone Discovers Finney is Spider-Man (And One Time He Is The One To Say It) by sleepysheep (mynameistadashi). CW: nothing let the boys be happy and in love and full of friendship. This one is a silly and cute rec, it just makes me smile. Let the boys be happy. It's just as it sounds, it's Spider-Man Finney and a 5+1 of everyone discovering it.

#this was so fun for me #the black phone #the black phone 2022 #finney blake #robin arellano #rinney #bruce yamada #brance #gwen blake #melissa's asks #melissa on the black phone

NSFW jeddy headcanons in The Ballad of the Sun?

I wanna preface this by saying I absolutely SUCK at these and apologize if they're awful, I'm literally so ace, I can't write raunchy headcanons to save my life, but anything for you anon (especially since you asked about jeddy, you can have whatever you want).

So here you go, some spicy TBOTS Jeddy headcanons:

Teddy is more nervous than James is before they sleep together the first time.

James has a praise kink, like a REALLY big one.

He likes being talked to during the act, comforted and praised and things like that.

He also prefers missionary because he likes to be held through it. If not missionary, then he wants to be able to hold Teddy's hand.

Teddy will fuck with his clothes on if James doesn't remind him to strip.

He has better self-control and patience than James does.

He fucking loves foreplay.

He also loves when James touches his chest.

His neck is VERY sensitive and James loves to take advantage of that.

Meanwhile Jamie’s sensitive spot is his stomach. He gets all wriggly when Teddy touches above his belt (not ticklish, it genuinely just feels pleasurable).

Teddy will 100% use his metamorph abilities to make himself bigger, but he only does it when James asks and because James REALLY likes it.

They like going slow because they like it to last. It's always a ritual for them, or a ceremony.

Teddy prefers receiving hand jobs over blow job's because he likes being able to kiss James during.

James is VOCAL.

He is known to cry during sex because it feels good or he's just really happy. He'll also laugh during sometimes. Teddy loves it.

Teddy gets really riled up when James wears skimpy clothing or lingerie, but he's super embarrassed about it ("I'm not objectifying you I promise you're just so pretty holy shit").

James likes when Teddy goes shirtless because he is sooo into all his tattoos.

Aftercare is extremely important to them, especially to Teddy. He wants to always take care of James and ensure sex is a positive experience from start to finish.

James likes blowjobs and getting fingered at the same time(says it helps him relax). Will cling to Teddy’s pillow while it's happening so he can smell his scent(and try to muffle his voice).

Teddy purposely and consciously will leave bite marks and hickeys on James. That is HIS baby and he WILL mark his territory thank you VERY much.

Generally Teddy only uses pet names like "baby" when they're fucking. James loves it.

Jamie likes when Teddy cums inside, even if the aftercare and cleanup takes longer(yay for magic!).

Teddy, to his credit, will absolutely play into it since Jamie seems to like it so much.

Teddy’s face when he orgasms is enough to get Jamie off, and vice versa.

The evil side of Teddy likes to tease James into overstimulation until he's crying because it's too much(but he takes very good care of him afterwards I promise).

James sleeps in Teddy's shirt or nothing after the fact. Teddy will pull his boxers on but likes to go without clothes otherwise.

They're more than content sleeping in the buff, though. Skin on skin contact feels amazingly comfortable.

Whoever wakes up first the morning after makes breakfast in bed for the other. It's usually Teddy, so James gets so excited when he wakes up first and gets the opportunity to pamper Teddy instead.

And finally, James never has nightmares on the nights they have sex. He has no idea why, but it makes him really happy.

Thank you so much for this ask, I actually got a little emotional writing a few of these 🥹 I know some of them aren't explicitly spicy or nsfw but like. They are spicy adjacent at least. I hope you liked them and that you're even more excited for future chapters, CUZ I AM 😖💖

#spicy jeddy headcanons #teddy lupin #james sirius potter #jeddy #next gen headcanons #hp next gen #harry potter #harry potter next gen #jeddy fanfic wip #spicy headcanons #just a warning they do get a bit raunchy #i did my best anon

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023) - Chappell Roan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hot pop perfection. This whole album screams “I’m living my best life, even if it’s messy.” Even the slower, more tender ballads are something to scream about. This is the album for a very chaotic twenty-something.

I am so happy that Roan has released one cohesive project because I was only living off singles for a while - and I am so excited to see what she has left in store.

My favourites:

Red Wine Supernova

Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl

Casual

Listen to this album if:

You are still a teenage girl at heart

You make poor choices on purpose, but only because they will make a great story later

You look, like, really good in red

Similar albums:

Starsick - Maude Latour (2019)

emails i can’t send - Sabrina Carpenter (2022)

1989 - Taylor Swift (2014)

Seeing a lot of people sharing Phantom-y memories so I figured I’d weigh in a little.

I always thought that someday, I’d pull together the time and the money to travel to New York and see the show in all its glory. That somehow, it would always just... be there, waiting. But now that it’s ending, I just feel a little hollow. I know that it’ll probably come back, and there are always tours to go see... but it won’t be the same. It won’t be the spectacle that the original was.

Phantom was not my first musical (that pleasure goes to either Annie or Mamma Mia) but it is the first one that I got super into. I first heard the title song in 6th grade music class, and it made such an impact on me that I downloaded the song the next time I got itunes money and listened to it on repeat while putting on my Halloween costume for school.

I saw it in its entirety twice in my sophomore year of high school. First, I saw the movie in my theatre class. Hearing the overture and watching the movie go from greyscale to color activated something in my brain that would never turn back off. The second time, was when my mom surprised me with tickets to the restaged tour. They were the last two available for that night, so we got lucky. I remember listening to the orchestra warming up before the show, and the excitement at hearing that overture live for the very first time. I’m sad that I didn’t get to see a true chandelier fall, the theatre we saw it in just wasn’t built for it (it dropped a few feet, but never crashed onto the stage. Didn’t even start on the stage, just kind of hovered there with a cloth on top of it. Very anticlimactic). My first, and so far only, live Phantom was Quentin Oliver Lee, may he rest in peace.

We performed Music of the Night as our ballad for my Junior year show choir package, and having to work on that for months just deepened my love for the musical, even if most of my words were just oohs and ahhs (it was acapella, and I’m an alto). We watched Youtube videos to get inspiration on how to emote, I specifically remember watching Norm Lewis and Sierra Boggess. Norm actually came and did a masterclass at my university last month, and I would have gladly skipped class to watch him speak if I didn’t have a French quiz at the same time (I am still super pissed about that).

The musical has led me to consume other Phantom forms of media, such as the book, the 1990 miniseries, and some kind of video game where you play as Christine and Raoul’s daughter and get kidnapped by Erik. I’ve tried reading the book in its original French text with... very little success. I’ve cosplayed the Phantom, and am finally going to bring the costume to a con after many much needed refurbishments.

This musical has honestly become a comfort for me, and I love it dearly. It’s so sad to see it go, this thing that’s brought me much joy these past several years. Honestly, I cannot think of a time in recent years where I was as happy as I was when I saw it live. But hey, maybe I’ll get the chance to see it again someday.

Until then, it’s over now, the music of the night.

This is a kind of silly one BUT like havd this cringe weird au where like cartman has another kid in post covid (I called her jane cuz she reminds me of rtc jane doe for her personality) and for some reason I see her sm with kyle's daughter (aubrey) kinda like menorah and eli and it would be so funny like cartman realizing that both of his kids are dating/have a crush on his rival's/enemie's kids but aside from that I see jane totally like freaking aubrey out and aubrey being kinda scared of her at first because she literally appeared out of nowhere all the time spooking everyone even if she doesn't mean to I feel she got curious about aubrey because observing a bit she realized they didn't seemed as bad as her dad told her,so she tries like get closer to her but accidentally spooks her a lot at first

Jane:"you know what I find kind of really super hurts?"

Aubrey:*turning around in fear* "maybe later thanks— SORRY—" *runs away*

/ref

But I see her slowly realizing that jane isn't actually as scary as she thought and slowly start spending more time together

Theres more I could say about these two but I am lazy and also dont know how to phrase everything so that's it for now!

op u need to share more rn and YOU NEED TO TELL ME IF SHE LOOKS LIKE JANE DOE FROM RID ETHE CYCLONE OR YOU HAVE DIFFERENT DRSIGN IN MIND.

I FUCK W THIS AU. I WILL DOODLE THIS AU ONCE IM NOT DEAD FROM SWIMMING TRAINING. THABK U SM FOR SHARING UR OWN SILLY AU IDEAS WITH MY SILLY AU IDEAS TO FORM A NEW, EVEN SILLIER AU IDEA.

akhdksjaja srry if this sounds rlly aggressive but wowzs!!!! im so very excited and very happy to hear more since i haven't really watched rtc in it's entirety (i just listen to the what the world needs and ballad of jane doe over and over again and watched a few funny conpilations on youtube 😭✌️), and im sure your jane's personality isnt a direct copy of jane doe rtc's personality so!!! please!!!! share!!!!

personally i see aubrey as being cautious towards jane bc her and moisha do not get along at all, and in gen the rivalry is a family wide thing, so while she's polite to the other members of the cartman family that don't bother her (totally on her own volition bc she's such a mature child and not bc her dad has severely reprimanded her for severely injuring moisha in multiple fights, no sir!) they're all on thin ice really.

so she's probably really jittery around her most of the time, but kind of has a revelation that. out of all the weird encounters she's had with jane. jane hasn't really. done anything. and decides to try talking to her and they become good friends and she adopts them into her friend group bc she's very extroverted in a female himbo kinda way. (not a bimbo. well actually ig, she's a bimbo but in a masc way. so like. girl himbo. listen she's just a dorkass kid sometimes that's all you need to know)

Hi Sarah! Happy August and belated birthday 🍃 I just found out about Olivia Rodrigo's Guts tracklist and I am very intrigued by the song titles!! Which tracks are you most excited about? P.S. This is a super late - my favourite songs from Japanese House's In The End It Always Does also include Friends and Morning Pages (MUNA)!

hi! thank you so much! im really intrigued by the opening track, all american bitch, it having that title alone is amazing but the fact thats how she's opening the album makes me excited. ballad of a homeschooled girl is also very interesting, the whole tracklist is intriguing tbh. also those two songs have grown on me so much since the first listen, love them!

I solved the Super Saturday conundrum of what to watch this year by going out to a rugby match instead, and stayed out late celebrating the result! However, I’m back at home now, and I’ve had a chance to get caught up on all the winners of the night so far!

First up was Estonia, where won Alika with Bridges. I’m not too into this song honestly, but I must admit that Alika is a fantastic vocalist, and I can see this ballad connecting with people, even if it doesn’t with me. I think it’s a decent pick for Estonia. I am wondering what might have been seeing that two of my faves, Monsters and Venom, were in the superfinal with her, and am wondering if they cancelled each other out with both being rock songs, albeit in very different styles. I’m excited to check out their live performances, and both songs are already added to my personal playlist, but I wish Alika the best in May.

DGMP was a selection that I didn’t really care for this year. I’m happy enough to see Reiley win it, the song may not be the most exciting, but it’s sweet and easy to enjoy. Checking out his winners performance, I thought it was decent, he had good stage presence, but his vocal was swamped by the pre-recorded vocoder vocals on the chorus, and I don’t know how that will go down at Eurovision. I could be wrong though, he sounded alright in the verses and Eurovision is fine with pre-recorded backing vocals these days so maybe it won’t be an issue.

Croatia shocked me by picking Let 3 with Mama ŠČ. I ranked the song pretty high based on studio cuts because I enjoyed the chaos of the music, but watching their performance I have no idea what to make of it. It feels like satire, but I don’t have enough understanding to know of what. I’m going to have to do a deep dive into the lyrics, context, and intention of this one when I get to my full ranking in May. Apparently Harmonija Disonance came second – I preferred their song and they were well liked within the Eurovision fandom so I wonder if this was a missed opportunity for Croatia. Mama ŠČ feels like a very risky entry, but hey, the semis this year are televote only so who knows what will happen.

The next couple of results, from Latvia and Romania, I was very happy with! Sudden Lights were one of my favourites so I was so happy seeing that they won Supernova! They’re such a great band and Aijā is a very interesting song, so I’m so excited to see them at Eurovision! Then, in Romania, D.G.T (Off and On) was my favourite song from a selection I wasn’t too fussed about, so I’m pleasantly surprised to see that it won! I thought he sung well live, his rough vocal works so well with the song, but I hope the staging and performance gets completely reworked for Eurovision, I wasn’t that keen on it, even though I guess it does fit the song…

Finally, Malta also picked my favourite song tonight with The Busker and Dance (Our Own Party)! This is such a great surprise, I was sure Malta would go for Brooke, but I’m so glad they went with this instead! It’s such a catchy song, and the staging and performance at MESC was engaging, I’d be happy if they brought this exact show to the stage in Liverpool! I’m actually so sad I won’t get to vote in the first semi final, with both Latvia and Malta there. We’ve still got plenty more songs to be released, but I want so badly to see both make the Eurovision final, even more since both countries have struggled the past few years.

With so many results going my way tonight I almost wish I’d seen some of the shows live! Maybe there’s been a couple of disappointing results here and there, but I think overall this year is shaping up nicely, we’ve got a good range of songs, with several I really like. Now just to wait for Sanremo to finish to get an idea of what Italy might send!

My nominated fandoms: Space Brothers, Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, The Hermux Tantamoq Adventures, Wu Ming | Hidden Blade, Joy of Life, The Long Ballad

Space Brothers

What is it? Space Brothers is a 99-episode anime about a man who becomes an astronaut in the footsteps of his younger brother—the anime can be found on Crunchyroll (the manga is on-going and published by Kodansha, but is generally less accessible, so I'm only requesting the anime—but I'm current with the manga so feel free to write as up-to-date as you like).

Nominated characters: Any (Nanba Mutta, Nanba Hibito, Brian Jay, Eddie Jay)

Relationships I like: Mutta & Hibito brotherhood, Brian & Hibito mentorship, Eddie & Mutta mentorship, Brian & Eddie brotherhood, Mutta &/ Serika, friendships all round

I love sibling relationships, and I love space! I especially love Space Brothers’ in-depth and well-researched exploration of the long process of becoming an astronaut, dealing with and overcoming trauma, and how people can help each other through difficulties. I adore the storytelling style of flashbacks to a past event informing the emotional journey happening in the present. I’ve nominated both Nanba brothers and Jay brothers, but if you’d rather write a story that focuses on just one of those characters or sibling pairs, that’s fine. And feel free to include any other wider cast members you like. No shipping Hibito with Olga beyond a one-sided crush on her part, please, but otherwise anything goes!

Prompts:

Mutta and Hibito finally meet on the Moon! I’m always interested in different takes on how that meeting goes down, and what day-to-day life is like for them up there.

Eddie in space or on the Moon imagining Brian there with him, and navigating feelings of both jealousy and happiness for the Nanba brothers that they could be able to achieve what he and Brian had wanted.

An incident during Hibito’s training as Brian’s backup, that once again becomes relevant as Hibito is training in Russia to return to the Moon. Maybe a strange scenario that Brian and Hibito train together that comes back up when he trains with the Soyuz module. Or maybe Hibito imagines what it would be like if Brian were training with him in Russia?

Missing scenes from Brian’s time on the Moon, and ways in which Hibito is unknowingly retracing his steps—or doing things differently! Could be how they interact with the Moonbase, something small that Brian changed or left behind and that Hibito encounters later.

The story arc with Hibito’s accident on the Moon is still my favourite—anything set in that time or the aftermath, from the perspective of either brother (or maybe Brian Jay, looking on from the afterlife—or the perspective of the oxygen generator!)

The Nanba brothers (and whoever else you might want to include with them) go on a road trip or camping or some other adventure. Hijinks ensue!

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

What is it? Stand Alone Complex (which can be watched for free on Adult Swim!) is one iteration of the wider Ghost in the Shell franchise, in a separate continuity from e.g. the original movies. It's two 26-episode anime seasons, a movie, and a sequel season called SAC:2045, following an intelligence department called Section 9 in a cyberpunk future as they tackle cases related to human cyberization and are confronted with an overarching mystery. (I'm mostly interested in the first two seasons).

Nominated characters: Motoko Kusanagi, Batou, Togusa, Hideo Kuze

Relationships I like: Hideo Kuze &/ Motoko Kusanagi, Batou &/ Motoko Kusanagi, Batou &/ Togusa (I like all of these as either platonic or romantic relationships), Motoko Kusanagi & Togusa

Stand Alone Complex is my favourite iteration of the Ghost in the Shell franchise—I love the convoluted mind-bending plots, examinations of collective human behaviour in the context of an ever more connected society, heroes grappling with being agents of a flawed and corrupt system and anti-villains with noble motives, and the deep, complicated closeness of many of the characters. Given Kuze’s on the list, I’d particularly love a 2nd Gig-based story, but don’t feel that you need to stay in that season if you have other ideas, and I'm happy with any subset of the nominated characters. I’m not as big a fan of SAC:2045 as I am the rest of it, but I’ve seen it and it’s in the continuity, so I’d be happy to receive something set in that part of the timeline too if you like.

Prompts:

Post-2nd Gig, the Major goes searching for Kuze in the net—did he succeed in going on ahead and uploading his consciousness? Did he maintain his individuality, or become something other than human?

A canon-divergent AU in which the Major encounters Kuze under different circumstances that sees them being able to work together to achieve justice for the refugees.

A look into Togusa’s family life outside of his Section 9 work. Does Batou ever interact with them? What is his partnership with his wife like compared to his partnership with Batou?

Motoko, Batou, and Kuze, all being full-prosthetic and ex-military, have similar circumstances yet different attitudes to what it means to be human and embodied, and I’d love to see some philosophical exploration of that. What does having a body, having a face, actually mean to them? Do you have gender thinky-thoughts about any of these characters? I would love to read them!

Section 9 case-fic that explores more of the setting. I’d particularly be interested in something that explores how religion has adapted to the reality of cyberization (be it Shinto, Japanese Buddhism, or something else).

There’s something very unsettling about your very perceptions being vulnerable to hacking, and not being able to trust your own senses any more—the potential for losing track of reality, places that seem both less real and more real, like the shop where the Major encountered her and Kuze’s old bodies. Would love something that leans into more of the potential for psychological horror in this setting.

The Hermux Tantamoq Adventures

What is it? The Hermux Tantamoq Adventures are a series of four children’s novels (beginning with Time Stops For No Mouse) featuring watchmaker mouse turned amateur detective Hermux Tantamoq, solving mysteries and getting embroiled in adventures.

Nominated characters: Any (Hermux Tantamoq, Linka Perflinger, Mirrin Stentrill, Tucka Mertslin)

Relationships I like: Hermux/Linka, Hermux & Mirrin, Mirrin/Birch, Tucka/increasingly inadvisable villainous love interests, Hermux & Tucka as best nemeses

I love Hermux being an everymouse in the eccentric rodent high society of Pinchester, trying to figure out how to confess his feelings for the dashing aviatrix and adventuress Linka Perflinger, and clumsily navigating the world of high fashion, scandalous art, and unscrupulous academia that he is surrounded in by his friends and neighbours. I love how vibrant and bizarre Pinchester life is, and the way the stories weave between the city and various escapades in jungles or ancient tombs or snooty seaside towns. If writing for Tucka, I think part of her charm is that she keeps getting away with the most heinous of things, and I would rather that she does not get any kind of comeuppance, but lives on to endlessly frustrate our protagonists in the future!

Prompts:

I’d love some case-fic with Hermux and friends solving a new mystery. Maybe old-timey Hollywood-esque film industry meets some kind of conspiracy and scandal (with Linka flying plane stunts!) Or at long last Hermux gets the dream commission of giving the Choo-Choo Cheesery model trains a tune-up, only to find that they’ve been used to pass around hidden messages between members of a shady organisation.

Linka is a professional adventuress and daredevil! I’d love to see more of her own adventures pre-canon, or taking Hermux along with her for a mission (with Hermux joyfully supporting his terrifyingly competent crush/fiancee/wife).

The second book brings up a lot of interesting worldbuilding related to how mice cemented their place as the most civilised of rodents through the underhanded actions of a particular dynasty. I would love more exploration of the place in society held by other species, and the work needed to undo the legacy of mouse supremacy. Also, whatever happened to the cats after they were overthrown? Did they really all die out, or are there still some out there to be found by intrepid adventurers?

More on the history between Mirrin Stentrill and Tucka Mertslin. Was there ever a time that Tucka really was the bright and hopeful student that Mirrin thought she was? How did their relationships with art develop up to the point at which they fell out? Maybe they do a reluctant arty team-up in the present day for publicity reasons and have to figure out how to work together without going completely mad?

Gosh, I love Tucka so much. The ultimate girlboss. She is completely unhinged and always steals whatever scene she’s in with her eye-gouging fashion and awful personality. I would love more from her perspective, on her ruthless pursuit of success and the horrible little man who keeps getting in her way.

Wu Ming | Hidden Blade

What is it? Wu Ming (Hidden Blade), starring the stunning combination of Tony Leung and Wang Yibo, is an intense, visually gorgeous, somewhat non-linear film about Communist party spies working to undermine the Wang Jingwei regime, the Japanese puppet government during WWII. If you're interested in writing for this and haven't seen it yet, go watch the movie before reading my prompts to get the full effect of the twists and turns of the story.

Nominated characters: Secretary Ye

Relationships I like: Director He &/ Secretary Ye, Director He/Ms Chen/Secretary Ye, Officer Watanabe & Secretary Ye fucked-up mentorship, Secretary Ye & Captain Wang fucked-up friendship

I love the glimpses we get into the intense trust and suspicion between different sets of characters, and the moments when the masks come off. In particular, the vicious and moody underling Secretary Ye is such an interesting little chameleon, interacting in different ways (and different languages!) with different characters. My absolute favourite scene is when Director He's spying is revealed and Ye is sent after him, culminating in a mesmerising, no-holds-barred, knock-down-drag-out fight between the two of them, landing He in prison and Ye as Watanabe's trusted confidante, and all along there's just no evidence of what's actually going on in his head.

Prompts:

Secretary Ye has so many facets, and only right at the end does it seem like the real man is allowed into the light. I'd love a look into his interiority through the story, how he compartmentalises and justifies everything he does, and what it's like to finally put down the mask.

We find out late in the film that Director He and Secretary Ye are on the same side, and maybe the only other one in their entire situation that they can trust and who truly knows them. I'd love to see what kind of relationship develops out of that proximity, whether it's a fucked-up kind of co-dependence or pining for something they can't have because the danger is too great. Especially a relationship with the kind of trust that allows them to get into the kind of fight that they do, really messing each other up but stopping short of killing the other.

Ms Chen is really interesting here because she and Director He have been married and working together all this time yet never coming into contact to preserve his cover. Secretary Ye doesn't seem to be aware of who she is during the fight, but then that could be part of the act. Why does he buy her coffee at the end—an apology, perhaps, or an invitation into a friendship? Did they meet or know each other before everyone went undercover? Wang Yibo's managed to be in couple of short films with interesting chemistry with Zhou Xun now, so it's almost a shame they didn't directly interact in this movie, but I'd love to see her looped in to whatever Ye and He have going on.

I also love what almost amounts to a seduction of Watanabe on Secretary Ye's part, only for more of a mentorship or even pseudo-parental role. Ye makes himself into the last person that Watanabe can truly trust, and only turns on him right at the end when he has lost everything, in a darkly satisfying way. I'd love a closer look into that relationship.

Someone promo'd Lust, Caution as the evil twin movie of this one and it made me laugh so much. I have no idea how you'd do it but if you want to cross them over I would be delighted.

Honestly I would happily just read more of Secretary Ye glowering and being very violent and just a little bit terrifying at people.

Joy of Life

What is it? Joy of Life is a (currently) two-season-long Chinese drama, following the story of a ~modern-day man who dies and wakes up as a baby sometime in historical China. So far, so isekai, except that it appears that he has been preceded as a transmigrator by his own mother, and the world he has landed in is far more complicated than it seems. Please note that my prompts contain major spoilers for both seasons (I note because it is worth going into this show as unspoiled as possible).

Nominated characters: Fan Xian, Li Chengze

Relationships I like: Fan Xian /& Li Chengze, Fan Xian/Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er /& Ye Ling'er, Lin Wan'er & Li Chengze, Li Chengze /& Xie Bi'an /& Fan Wujiu, The Emperor & Chen Pingping & Fan Jian as the world's most dysfunctional metamours

I am obsessed with the dynamic between Fan Xian and the Second Prince Li Chengze. They match each other's crazy so well. Every scene they're in, they have the seething chemistry of a whole pack of mentos dropped into a coke bottle (and it doesn't go away after the revelations of the end of season 1—if anything, it gets worse.) And it's interesting because I think Li Chengze genuinely does like and admire Fan Xian and considers him to be a kindred spirit, even while he's perfectly content to kill him if needs be. And Li Chengze's blatant disregard for the body count left by his actions puts him way too far beyond Fan Xian's moral line for him to like the man, but I think that there is a horrible little part of him that is having a lot of fun every time he manages to get one over on the Second Prince, who very much brings out the worst in him. (To be clear, I absolutely 100% ship them, though I'd be happy with any take on their canon dynamic!)

Prompts:

Circumstances allow for Fan Xian and Li Chengze to have a very frank heart-to-heart about Teng Zijing and Fan Wujiu and what those men meant to them (because, ironically, I think Li Chengze is one of very few characters who actually Gets It about seeing your bodyguard as a real person).

Anything that allows them to get just a bit unhinged at each other—like Fan Xian playing an elaborate shell game with delicious food and deadly poison and Li Chengze treating it like a fun game of Russian roulette—you know, normal things.

Please feel free to get sexy with it, whether dancing along the line of plausible deniability (Li Chengze just has to hand-feed Fan Xian grapes while he's tied up on the floor in front of him) or full on hatesex (I don't want any right out non-con, though I imagine dub-con on Fan Xian's part is quite likely, particularly since fidelity is important to him—but I want him to want it to at least some extent, and maybe be a little horrified at himself for it).

Having fun with who has what information at any one time, whether it's Li Chengze flirting with Fan Xian early on while also secretly plotting his demise, or Fan Xian desperately trying to figure out what to do with the knowledge that they're related when his nemesis is also two inches away from making out with him.

I do also really like Fan Xian's relationship with Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er actually liking her cousin when he's not out to get her fiance, and Li Chengze and Ye Ling'er's very reluctant and manipulative partnership, and if you want to loop the ladies into the fic as well that would be welcome. Maybe Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er have a girls night and leave their husbands(-to-be) in the metaphorical get-along shirt (it goes better/worse than hoped). Or make a sedoretu AU of it? (I'm not sure how you'd wrangle it given the Emperor at least knows everyone's parentage but the idea compels me).

Canon divergence AU where Fan Xian manages to have the weirdo-love-at-first-sight meet-cute with Li Chengze instead of Lin Wan'er, and the sheer hilarity/horror that would ensue as a result.

Fan Xian and Li Chengze are caught in a situation where they're forced to cooperate against an external threat from the Divine Temple and have to figure out how much to trust each other while also trying to throw the other under the oncoming train of trouble.

The Long Ballad

What is it? The Long Ballad is a single-season Chinese drama, following what you think is going to be a revenge quest for Li Changge, but which develops into a massive journey of growth taken by Li Changge and the people around her, including her sheltered cousin Li Leyan.

Nominated characters: Li Leyan

Relationships I like: Li Leyan/Hao Du, Li Changge/Ashile Sun, Li Changge & Li Leyan, Li Leyan & Li Shimin

There’s so many characters I really love in The Long Ballad, but I’d like something that focusses on Li Leyan and her journey. A timid and delicate princess going through hardship and developing skills, learning about the harshness of the world but not turning away from it, gaining the confidence to deal assertively with the men in her life, but never losing that kindness and gentleness along the way. I’m a sucker for princess/bodyguard romance, and Li Leyan/Hao Du gave me everything! I’m totally okay with other characters showing up, although I find Wei Shuyu extremely obnoxious (I don’t mind him showing up and being obnoxious! But I’d struggle with anything that ignores this dumbass’ total lack of conviction in anything, haha).

Prompts:

Post-canon, Leyan wants to take a diplomatic journey around the country to visit and advocate for the populace, and Hao Du is unsure about this but more than happy to be her bodyguard again. How that dynamic is changed by them being married; how they fall back into a familiar pattern of life.

Scenes from Leyan’s time with the weavers, learning about everyday life and figuring out how to act like a normal person around all these women who just think she’s putting on airs, and her growing friendships there. Or maybe she comes back to visit in the future?

Leyan’s relationship with Li Shimin, be it scenes from her childhood, or her becoming a force for good inserting herself into her father’s court. Or perhaps them both reminiscing/worrying over Changge together!

I really wish Li Leyan and Mimi Guli could be friends! Maybe the coin-purse incident goes differently, and they realise their mutual connection to Changge? What happens then?

I’m endlessly intrigued by the Khatun as an example of what could have happened to Li Leyan, had circumstances been different and people unwilling to fight for her. I’d be really interested in a canon divergence AU in which she does get married off to the Ashile despite everyone’s best efforts. How does she handle the situation? What kind of a husband would She'er have been to her, with his inferiority complex, at the whims of other people’s power plays—or would he have been inspired to be better? What kind of place in the Ashile would Hao Du have taken, ever his princess’s loyal servant, with vicious impulses a little less checked? Would the Khatun see this little princess as a mirror of her former self and feel compelled to protect her, or as a pawn to bend to her will in service of restoring the Sui? How would literally everything else play out differently?

Thanks again, dear writer! I very much look forward to seeing what you come up with.

-Triss_Hawkeye
