#bus driver au

[doctorforks]

android × bus driver × inventor. sadly this has more lore below

Feel free to ask questions I have an ugly amount of information regarding this au

in the distant future, dazai "drives" a tourist bus with a designated android tour guide called fyodor who's basically yokohama's hatsune miku (there are multiple). The fyodors' personality and looks all take from their hikki creator, dr dostoyevsky.

these androids are referred to as the doctors dolls, he can "possess" them and walk around yokohama freely. In fact, theyre probably the only way you can meet him, since he doesn't leave his house often.

Anyway he leaves the house when dazai destroys one of his dolls accidentally

you see, his designated fyodor was tasked with seducing him, then getting him fired as the company's attempt to downsize, however this led to Dazai's ex getting jealous and planting a bomb in the bus, so naturally it blew up. Fyodor was so furious he made dazai his slave in a way (the ceo fukuchi let dazai go by splitting his pay instead and working for fyodor sometimes. Instead of 4 pennies he gets 2)

tl;dr: dazai wants to fuck the fyodor android(s) while ignoring how it's basically dr dostoyevsky as a robot girl, dostoyevsky observes through the doll's eyes and pretends he's playing an otome while he gathers the final elements for his "plan"

Fic - Once Upon a Bus

They're waiting on the curb with 30 seconds to spare when the school bus pulls up and Carlos does a double take when the doors creak open to reveal someone entirely too young and too hot to be a school bus driver.

"You are not Mr. McCarthy,” he blurts, and instantly flushes with embarrassment.  Behind him Gabriella giggles and pushes past him to climb the bus steps, pausing at the top to make sure Elian makes it in too.

The guy leans his elbow on the steering wheel giving Carlos an amused look.  "Nope.  Mr. McCarthy retired at the end of last year.  I'm the new guy."

I think it's funny if every Voyager au has its own 'delta quadrant' and 'Maquis v Starfleet' circumstance that they're treating with the same level of seriousness and angst. Flight attendant Au but they're experiencing several long layovers and are from two competing airlines. High School Au but they're from different schools on a tense joint overnight trip.

Question about Tiger- what WAS his end goal? We know that he wanted to be TC leader but he really quickly pivoted to "world forest domination" after that failed, which is one of those things that feels like thistle's law would oppose. Also why did he start going after half clan cats while also preaching for the clans uniting under him and him alone one leader? Other than kitty racism of course.

(Gently) If you think that Thistle Law would oppose total forest takeover, then I really recommend you head over to the masterpost on Thistle Law as a concept. Nothing about Thistle Law is isolationist, never has been

The ideology sets itself apart from Hard Traditionalism because it becomes willing to enforce some standard of xenophobic purity. That's what Tigerstar wanted to do. There is no "other than kitty racism." That's it. Stonefur, Mistyfoot, Stormpaw, and Featherpaw's lives are the result of codebreaking and that makes them lesser than other cats.

There is no logical reason for bigotry. It's not a principle. It doesn't make sense. It's reactionary discomfort and cruelty given form.

Tigerstar wanted to decide who was pure enough to live and who was filthy enough to die. These categories are arbitrary.

(Under the cut TW: speaking frankly about miscegenation, segregation, and genocide.)

"But if they all united under one Clan, then they'd just start mixing in the end, wouldn't they?"

No. They wouldn't. The steps go like this;

The groups live together and mingle too closely. To prevent them from interbreeding, the code is emphasized.

Someone breaks the code. They are punished.

The kits are dealt with; either eliminated or considered lesser.

But every birth of mixed children poses an "existential" threat. "Purity" is a concept that has to be protected, if a Pure parent mixes with the wrong parent, ALL of the resulting children are dirty. It is a threat to the concept of purity.

And this continues to happen, and "purity" must be protected, so... the groups need to be kept separate.

There is no such thing as "separate but equal." One group is an underclass, prevented from moving freely. This would have been RiverClan.

But the groups continue to mingle, people won't stay put in a ghetto. More extreme measures are taken. Sterilization, kidnapping, execution...

But that still doesn't work. There's only one solution; Genocide.

The logical conclusion of this ideology is genocide. That's where it ends. It doesn't matter if the fascist believes this at the stage he's at or not; that is the built-in conclusion.

Fascism is a death cult.

Tigerstar's goal was to take over the forest and arbitrarily decide which cats would be "True" cats of TigerClan. He would have weeded out cats seemingly at random, but heavily favored ShadowClan. Eventually, the Clans would shift into various classes, before each one is systemically eliminated.

IF he went unopposed. Fascism is unstable. Hyperemotional, self-obsessed, frothing egotists are REALLY bad at organizing government and its very structure is prone to infighting.

The enemy is everywhere, both strong and weak. You live in a constant state of paranoia. You waste all your money on ridiculous vanity weapon projects and overestimate your abilities to absurdity. You kill off all the intellectuals because you're too fragile to be told no. The biggest liar in history is the person who equated any kind of fascism with "evil genius," spite is blinding and insecurity makes you do stupid things.

Turns out, that's really bad for holding onto power. These regimes crumble like a shitty jenga tower eventually; problem is, they're deadly before that point and drag down thousands of innocent people on the way down.

bro sees one (1) boy group (TXT) live and is immediately like omg how can i turn this into a life series au anyways fuck it jimmy/grian boy band!au

either southlanders: grian's the leader. jimmy's the baby. impulse was in a produce 101 type show before the rest of them debuted. joel and scar are solo artists in a duo. gem pearl lizzie cleo f(x) style girl group. grumbo is the most popular ship. but actually martyn/mumbo. impulse is driving the bus

TBOSAS fix-it where the peacekeepers are severely underpaid and decide to go on strike… the day the Hunger Games are set to start. Right as they’re about to march them into the arena. After all, what better way to make your employers feel your refusal to work than by letting these kids run free?

Obviously the kids book it immediately and since they don’t cause (that much) havoc, the Capitol citizens start to question all they’ve been told about the districts. But more short term: every single peacekeeper is at their post, preventing someone not on strike from taking over, but they let the tributes pass. Some are so upset with the government they actively help the kids out.

This AU was brought to you by that one NS strike last year

I didn't count, but it's definitely more than seven.

“Is that something they’re really worried about?  Is it a thing that's actually happened before?" TK’s lips twitch in a smile.  “What?  You don’t think a giant yellow bus is a good getaway car?” Carlos taps his fingers on the door frame.  “In my former professional opinion, it wouldn’t be my first choice.  Hard to blend into traffic."  TK nods thoughtfully, and he adds, "Also hard to do a high speed chase on the highway." TK's eyes crease in a smile, but he holds up a finger.  "Counterpoint - nobody looks twice at a school bus driving around suburbia.  You couldn't hold up a downtown bank, but a jewelry store in a strip mall?  Easier to blend into traffic than you'd think if you timed it right, when schools were getting out."  Carlos lets out a breath of laughter.  "Also," TK holds up another finger, "after you got away you could do one of those RV/bus renos and turn it into your own private palace on wheels." "Should I be worried about how much thought you’ve put into this?”

Based on what I think I want to do with Lark and Sparrow’s storylines in Abramz Archives, I think Henry and Mercedes can just chill. Besides certain things that happen in s5 I think they actually do get to be safe from the horrors. Hencedes fans your faves have been spared
