#brainstorm fortnite

[skeletasticlady]

Fortnite skins my friends requested me to draw. Feel free to request some too!

[vhvrs]

Hello! I really love your Gorton Ricks and their Mortys! I'm a suckered for badass mortys being loved and cared for by their grandpa's! But I'm even bigger suckered for badass Morticias! I bet she buts other mortys in their places when needed.

I would love to learn more about them both the ricks and mortys and their dynamics as a whole group, so if your willing to share any headcanons I would love to see it❤

Hope you are doing well and continue with your passions

hiya! sorry for how long this took to get back to but the best way of saying anything abt the gotron nerds was. to draw it so i hope this satisfies ur curiousity hah. done rambles under the cut ☝️

my idea for them is like the only functioning rick couple bc they're both just so well matched and provide Exactly what they need in a relationship - and that includes throwing hothead into the mix lol. i think hothead would remain a casual friend that spends the night tho bc he's got too much baggage to work out still. once he gets over that, though, maybe he'd stick around more...

morticia n morty loveeee the setup though. having two ricks and also two ricks who are super doting is an incredible life to live... and yeah morticia very much kicks other mortys and some ricks asses. she struggles w being a normal kid bc ricardo let her join in on the business but oddly big's morty's norminess helps her calm down... big's not really comfortable w her wanting to like be apart of meetings and do hits too.

i think their summers are pretty close to these ricks too and i need to sit down n brainstorm them but i do imagine big's summer is more like ricardo's morticia and ricardo's summer is more like big's morty lol. wanting to impress your don grandfather and be a cool mob boss vs thinking coke is like soooo old people drugs and too annoyed n spoiled to care

as a final note, big's morty is a huge baby that big keeps away from his messes BUT is known for having a bit of a dark side when pushed...... maybe that rick dna comes out when hes losing in fortnite

— i need you to fill the void…

→ pairings: chris sturniolo x reader

→ warnings: none! long distance chris fluff for the soul

→ notes: an old chris blurb i wrote at 3am to feed y’all with something as i work on requests 🫡

all the elation you had earlier had begun to dissipate as soon as you stepped out of the airport and into the cold boston air. there really wasn't a good reason to be nervous, but you were.

a lot of it could be due to the fact that you hadn't seen your boyfriend in months, or maybe because you were surprising him and lying to him was killing you slightly.

it pained you inside to have to keep lying to him about your whereabouts, giving him dry responses, dodging his facetime calls as you packed and headed to the airport.

and instead of chris welcoming you with his warm hugs that would last for what seemed like hours and a shower of kisses, you were met with nick- your best friend and your boyfriends brother.

the two of you had been planning this for weeks now, ever since you and nick had been facetiming on a night were you had been exceptionally upset over the distance between the two of you;

“nick- i don’t know how long i can manage being apart from him. i know i’m at uni and doing the right thing but the distance is killer” you said with a sigh, staring off at your framed pictures of you chris that line your windowsill.

“i know, it’s hard on him too but wait- don’t you have your break coming up soon? why can’t you visit then?” nick answered with confusion on his face.

“i would but i had already told chris i’d be at my parents house for break, they wouldn’t be too happy if i backed out now and decided to fly to boston instead” you looked up to your phone screen to see the gears in nicks head turning, and thus a plan was formed.

he had come up with the plan in about 20 minutes, with it mostly starting out as blabbering to distract you from getting too upset but quickly formed into something realistic. and with a lot of apologies and promises to your parents that you’ll make it up to them the next break- the plan was in full formation.

the plan was to fly out on the friday afternoon of your last day and get there hopefully sometime around early night, that way nick could go out with matt- who can drive- to go "get food" while nate and chris work on brainstorming for video ideas (which mostly consisted of them ignoring the said task and playing fortnite)

it wasn't as thought out as it could be but it was the best you two could come up with for the time being, plus nick had told you he planned on being an asshole the whole day so that they wouldn't want to go with him

as for your part, you had told chris that you’d be leaving that friday afternoon for the drive back home and that you'd be fairly inactive for the day, which was fine enough for him.

you climbed in matt’s car with the sounds of music and screaming filling the air as you opened the doors, a smile creeped onto your face as your eyes met theirs.

"holy shit, we're actually doing this" nick spoke as he hugged you from his seat in the front.

you let out a breath from putting your luggage in the car, "i know"

the drive back to the triplets house was filled with minor catching up, music blaring & laughs until you turned onto their street then the car went eerily silent. making your nerves spike, you shouldn’t be this nervous but you are. you just miss him so much.

matt turned his car off and put it in park in front of the house before getting out with nick, waiting for you to walk up with them.

you heard the car door slam behind you as you timidly followed the other two up the driveway to the door, nervousness bubbling up in your stomach.

you finally reached the concrete steps and headed up them, standing in front of the door for a beat before looking back to where nick and matt stood with phones in their hands.

sighing, you raised your hand and bit down on your bottom lip before gently knocking.

“fucking finally!” you heard chris exclaim through the door, footsteps growing louder as you played with your fingers nervously, "what took you guys so lon-" chris cut himself off as he looked up from his phone after opening the door.

he didn't even say a word before embracing you and burying his head into the crook of your neck, tightly wrapping his arms around you as if not to loose you.

you ran your fingers through his hair and pulled away a couple inches to meet with him face to face.

"miss me?"

i lied, i just drew these two. (sorry to anyone who expected more, i do still really like this au so i’ll probably add more character designs in the future, i just kinda ran out of steam after drawing my two favorite dudes from it.)

Gillion (displaced) and Gillian (prime/human gillion/gill with an A) are the partial focal points of my au, Zeros To Heroes And Beyond (or ZTHAB.) the au is built off of the patreon just roll what-if oneshot, Zeros To Heroes, in which albatrio + ollie are wannabe superheroes in the prime defenders universe.

(more explanations and versions of the drawing plus some notes on the designs under the cut) (like seriously i go on for a while)

the oneshot itself is nothing particularly thrilling, they’re basically in fortnite. that’s the best way i can think to put it. it’s a battle royale with other wannabe heroes and villains. but it has IMPLICATIONS. chip jay and ollie, they’re from prime in this universe. they even have powers unique to the versions of themselves on mana. but gillion? he’s described as being the exact same. disoriented and excited. same clothes/armor and everything. which really got me thinking

i think the oneshot exists in a timeline where rather than being banished from the undersea, gillion was banished from mana altogether. to a different dimension entirely. one where he’s not supposed to be because, as is established with his friends (and drey ferin at one point) in the what-if, this version of prime has its own versions of characters from mana. so i think it’s only reasonable to assume there’s also already a gillion there. and maybe this human gill knows all this. maybe he’s jealous of his fishy counterpart filling the role he should be in.

thats the prime side of the idea. if you observe the Zeros To Heroes And Beyond tag, you’ll see the development and brainstorming and other ideas i’ve had, including what would happen to the chip and jay on mana without a gillion to drive them forward. it’s also been a pretty collaborative story, if you were a part of adding ideas to this please lemme know so i can credit you.

also feel free to send me asks about these versions of the characters, as well as just the au in general. i’m more than open to questions, suggestions, and the like ¦] oh and you can also use these designs if you want, as long as you @ me so i can see what you did with them

(additional characters relevant to the au are edyn, finn, lizzie, caspian, marshal john but he’s just kind of there, ava but more so her presence, arlin at some point probably, and of course everybody on mana. and the prime defenders probably are relevant as well.) (i’m also thinking about making prime!pretzel some kind of domestic animal like a cat or a dog. maybe a bird?)

[montcumbry-gaytor]

Can you do a platonic male reader with the avengers. He's just about Peter's age or maybe younger then far more smarter than anyone else in the universe. In curious what will they do about it.

Internet War

so I usually don't do like!! non smut asks, cause I do usually just smut and shit like that, but I'm in an Applebee's so WHAT THE HELL??

Anyways please enjoy 🙏

Tony Stark ↓

Thought you were genuinely cool, called you son on multiple accounts, ( on purpose and on accident )

You helped out in his lab, helped him brainstorm, you're also very snarky, moreso around tony so you guys will bully the shit out of the avengers.

The older people at your school shit on you? ohh naw, he's personally making an appearance, AS IRON MAN, and pulling you out of public and putting you into homeschool.

No matter how smart you both are, you both have no idea how to cook, pepper banned you from the kitchen.

You have your own iron-man gadgets, specifically shoes that turn into rocket boots

scolds you for flying in the house

he ends up flying in the house too.

Steve Rogers ↓

"Kid"

See's you as younger him.. almost.

Of course his IQ Wasn't as high as yours.

Takes you to work out and spots you.

You both bully Sam with your wits.

You can sit at a chess table for hours at a time, you let him win sometimes.

You both talk history, visit libraries and cafes in your free time.

Thor ↓

He is a... dunce.

He's not very smart.

Thor canonically played Fortnite and you think this man has an IQ above 15??

No way

You find it hard to talk to him seriously, but he's still a good friend to you.

Though you find it meaningless, you sometimes join him in videogames.

You decimate the battlefield.

Thor joked that you were the new "God of War"

You try to help him out when he's confused about his brother.

While hes an overall nice guy to be around, you don't stay with him too often.

Bruce Banner ↓

You both can chat for hours at a time, you both bring out eachothers social side.

No matter the topic, both of you are collectively intelligent and are never bored by hypotheticals

He finds you extremely calming to be around.

You both enjoy the smell of incense.

You bring him food when you go to visit him, cause you know he forgets to eat.

Its usually Chinese.

Mutually not prone to eating sweets, so the fortune cookies go stale.

Doctor Strange ↓

He finds you difficult to see into, Never quite understanding what you're thinking about

"Child."

Cooks for you when you're over.

You both go to beaches to enjoy the silence, you both sit in silence for the most part.

You both find yourself scribbling down notes back and forth to communicate.

Your companionship is described as an "Organized mess"

Black Widow ↓

She finds your logic confusing for the most part.

Shocked when you took her down in sparring.

Calls you "Kid" for the most part.

Shows you how to utilize your legs when fighting.

Takes you out to eat to fancy places.

You called her ma'am the first time you met, Now you call her Nat.

Miss Nat around the avengers.

You find yourself going to her for advice a lot.

Peter Parker ↓

Hes a very nerdy kid, That was your first impression of him.

You often spend the night at his house, and cover for him when he has to go out as spiderman.

Aunt may loves you.

You find yourself cleaning their house for them and she has to reassure you it's fine.

You and Peter sprawled out in his small ass bed bouncing off questions from one another.

Repairing his web shooters for when he's reckless and doesn't want to admit it to Tony.

You tell Tony anyways.

Hope you enjoyed this anon!! im so sorry for the late posts 🥲🙏

GOD MY BRAIN IS GIVING ME FREAKING FERAL ROT FOR ANOTHER ELDRITCH SPAMTON

All because my friend and and I just talked on VC while playing Fortnite together. And the idea just drives me feral to be flustered by Eldritch Spamton being such a bastard. Especially how giving him a slight Victorian vibes with a few fortnite skins for additional concept ideas to brainstorm. Making the Eldritch Spamton a type of Eldritch entity duke who think strings dragging down. Having to manipulate the strings like tentacles or extra hands. A high class bastard I would let him bully the piss out of me. Snobby but stingy to still keep his cheapskate attitude.

what tf2 mercs would actually play tf2. i am pretty sure soldier would try and blow up the computer -tf2 heritage posts

While brainstorming my ancient (yet classic) "tf2 men as gaming channels" post, my brothers came up with the idea that Demo actually plays tf2 but is terrible at it and has NO clue that anything in it remotely resembles his actual lived experiences. This concept ended up hitting the cutting room floor but I still think it's funny. I also think Scout would play Fortnite which is close enough? Soldier would kill people in real life for a Burning Team Captain

[lighthousenewsnetwork]

NEW YORK CITY – In a move that sent shivers down the spines of CEOs and productivity gurus everywhere, the nation's cubicle workers have announced a series of radical demands aimed at "combating the ever-increasing threat of stapler-induced existential dread." These demands, outlined in a manifesto titled "The Beige Manifesto: A Call for Dignity in the Beige Wasteland," are nothing short of revolutionary. Leading the charge is Darren "Clip-Art Clippy" Patterson, a mid-level marketing associate with a penchant for motivational posters and a dwindling grip on his sanity. Patterson, speaking from a conference room meticulously decorated with motivational quotes laminated in bubble wrap, declared, "We, the denizens of beige, are tired! Tired of fluorescent lights, the soul-crushing hum of printers, and the constant stream of emails demanding 'synergy' on projects with acronyms no one understands!" The demands, as outlined in the manifesto, are as follows: Double Lunch Break: "One measly hour to refuel our bodies and souls is simply not enough," declared Patterson, sporting a novelty tie emblazoned with a cat wearing a tiny suit. "We need ample time to engage in invigorating activities such as staring longingly out the window, complaining about our bosses to our mothers on the phone, and searching for the perfect avocado toast recipe on Pinterest." Unlimited Coffee and Snack Breaks: "Our brains, much like the office Keurig, require constant replenishment," stated the manifesto. "A steady stream of lukewarm coffee and stale donuts is essential for maintaining peak levels of...well, let's just say it helps us stay awake." Mandatory "Quiet Time": "The constant barrage of emails, phone calls, and urgent Slack messages has left our minds in a state of perpetual frazzle," lamented Patterson. "We demand designated 'quiet time' periods for activities such as meditation, light sobbing, or simply staring blankly at the wall until our existential anxieties subside." Mandatory "Fun Fridays": "Work shouldn't be all work and no play," the manifesto declared, before quickly clarifying, "By 'play,' we don't mean any sort of actual work-related activity. Think team-building exercises involving beanbag chairs and mandatory participation in office karaoke." Corporate America, needless to say, is in a state of utter disarray. Stock prices have plummeted faster than a stapler thrown across the room in a fit of rage. CEOs are holding emergency meetings in undisclosed locations, rumored to involve large quantities of Xanax and brainstorming sessions on how to appease the cubicle masses. There have even been reports of companies attempting to bribe their employees with ridiculous perks: office puppies, in-house masseuses, and a particularly desperate company offering to replace the fluorescent lights with mood lighting. But the workers, emboldened by their newfound solidarity, remain unfazed. They see through these desperate ploys and have revealed their true endgame – a world where they are replaced entirely by AI. "Imagine a future where robots handle our spreadsheets while we pursue our true passions," beamed Patterson, eyes gleaming with a previously unseen spark. "Perhaps I could finally fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a professional Fortnite streamer, or maybe I'll finally have time to perfect my sourdough starter." This is the call to action, fellow cubicle dwellers! Join the movement! Demand your double lunch breaks and mandatory nap times! Or, better yet, demand your robotic replacements and a life of leisure filled with video games and artisanal bread! The future is beige, and it is ours for the taking! (Unless, of course, your company decides to outsource your entire job to India first.)

Exploring the Metaverse: Opportunities Beyond Gaming

The metaverse, a term that once seemed like a futuristic fantasy, has evolved into one of the most transformative concepts in technology today. Popularized by science fiction and driven by advances in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain, the metaverse is no longer confined to the gaming world. It has become a dynamic, interconnected digital universe with applications in education, business, healthcare, and beyond.

What is the Metaverse?

At its core, the metaverse is a collective virtual space created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and persistent virtual worlds. It’s a digital ecosystem where users can interact with each other and digital objects through avatars. Major technologies driving the metaverse include VR headsets, AR devices, blockchain, and advanced computing capabilities.

While platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, and Decentraland initially defined the metaverse as a gaming destination, its applications now extend into commerce, education, healthcare, and other sectors.

Key Components of the Metaverse

1️⃣ Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): These technologies provide immersive experiences, allowing users to explore virtual worlds or overlay digital content onto the real world.

2️⃣ Blockchain and NFTs: Blockchain ensures secure transactions, while non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used for owning virtual assets, from real estate to digital art.

3️⃣ Interoperability: The metaverse thrives on seamless connections between platforms, enabling users to carry assets and experiences across different virtual spaces.

Opportunities Beyond Gaming

1. Virtual Workplaces and Collaboration

The pandemic accelerated the shift toward remote work, but the metaverse takes this concept to a whole new level. Companies are using virtual environments to host meetings, brainstorming sessions, and even team-building activities.

Platforms like Horizon Workrooms by Meta provide immersive meeting spaces where employees can interact as avatars, enhancing engagement and productivity. Microsoft’s Mesh integrates AR and VR into its ecosystem, enabling realistic collaborations.

Impact:

Reduced travel costs for businesses.

Increased employee engagement in remote settings.

A new avenue for workplace creativity and innovation.

2. Education and Training

The metaverse offers interactive and immersive learning experiences that traditional methods cannot match. Virtual classrooms, training simulations, and historical reconstructions bring education to life.

Example: In the medical field, VR simulations allow students to practice surgeries without real-world consequences.

Example: Companies like Engage VR are creating virtual campuses for institutions to deliver lessons in 3D environments.

Impact:

Enhanced understanding of complex concepts through visualizations.

Affordable and accessible education globally.

3. Retail and E-Commerce

The metaverse is revolutionizing shopping. Virtual stores allow customers to browse, try on products, and even attend product launches without leaving home. Brands are also leveraging AR to create interactive experiences.

Example: Gucci created a virtual world on Roblox where users could try on digital versions of its products.

Example: Nike acquired RTFKT, a digital sneaker company, to create NFT-based footwear for metaverse avatars.

Impact:

Increased customer engagement and brand loyalty.

Opportunities for businesses to test products in virtual markets before launching them physically.

4. Real Estate in the Metaverse

Buying and selling virtual land has become a booming industry. Platforms like Decentraland and The Sandbox allow users to purchase digital real estate, which can then be developed into virtual businesses, art galleries, or even event spaces.

In 2022, Republic Realm purchased a virtual plot of land in The Sandbox for $4.3 million, highlighting the growing value of metaverse real estate.

Impact:

A new market for investment and entrepreneurship.

Opportunities for businesses to establish virtual headquarters.

5. Healthcare and Therapy

The metaverse is proving to be a game-changer in healthcare, from virtual consultations to mental health therapy. Patients can access services in VR environments, while healthcare professionals use AR tools for training and surgeries.

Example: Virtual reality therapy is being used to treat PTSD and phobias.

Example: The Cleveland Clinic uses VR simulations to train surgeons more effectively.

Impact:

Improved accessibility to healthcare services.

Enhanced patient outcomes through advanced training and tools.

The Role of Big Tech in Shaping the Metaverse

Tech giants like Meta (formerly Facebook), Microsoft, and Google are investing heavily in metaverse development. Meta has committed over $10 billion annually to create metaverse platforms, while Microsoft is integrating VR and AR into its business tools. These investments are driving innovation and expanding metaverse applications into every facet of life.

Challenges Ahead

While the metaverse holds immense potential, it’s not without challenges:

Story line and game play development

Based on our feedback, we decided to drop the idea of a physical space as this was focusing on solving too many problems and wasn't feasible. Instead we decided the game would focus on encouraging the users to interact with their surroundings, which will stop them from only focusing on their phones for a few hours a day.

To start brainstorming how this would function, we sat down and started to create a story line and game play features.

By writing it out, this allowed us to create a base story line we can focus on when creating the game. We liked how this would allow our users to use their imagination when playing the game, either by themselves or with their friends.

We think a game like this would be suitable from our target audience, because it plays into the simulation, adventure and personalisation elements that games such as Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft are popular for.
