Bitch imagine!!!

This may seem like an exaggeration, the idea that one can learn how to properly think like a criminal by learning how crime stories work. On a personal note, let me tell a story from the Leverage writer’s room.

Apollo Robbins (http://www.istealstuff.com/) runs a crew of professional thieves who consult for law enforcement. He was also our criminal consultant on Leverage. Every few weeks he would visit the writer’s room to advise on the scripts and keep us up to date about new cons and the latest in criminal technology.

One day during the third season he sat in with the writers while we broke a story. We posted the details of a real-life white collar criminal up on the room’s whiteboard, using him as the basis for our Mark. We looked at his weaknesses, how he moved his money, what his hobbies were. Once we were happy with that element of the story we added a Vault to the mix, one that used an interesting new alarm technology we’d researched. We then spent about an hour figuring out how to circumvent that alarm. We even sketched out a map of the imaginary building so we could keep track of our Crew’s movements during the Job.

“Well, I’m done here,” Apollo muttered. Noting our confusion, he pointed at the board and index cards cluttering the wall. “This is exactly how real Crews plan these things. This writer’s room is now a fully functioning criminal gang. You could be thieves.”

Of course writing television pays better than crime (usually), with far less chance of being arrested (usually), so we all managed to resist the temptation. But aside from the day a US Attorney asked us to change a plot because we’d created a scam that was a little too foolproof, or when a Homeland Security Agent admitted they were spooked by a security hole we’d exploited in our season finale, it was certainly one of the proudest moments I had on the show.

I had this TFPSG oneshot series fic idea i haven't managed to write.

Basically it would be about the senators after the Autobot-Decepticon revolution (they were originally allied), locked up in a room or a few and awaiting execution. They turn each other, accusations fly, and almost everybody tries to pin their crimes on somebody else. Among other things Proteus gets accused of being a secret reversionist (functionist-repressed religion whose core belief is that everybody has a fragment of Primus' divine spark in them and should be equal), Momus gets accused of being a traitor despite being locked up in there with them, Dai Atlas gets accused of being completely deranged, Contrail gets called out for his cowardice because while he claims he never agreed with the funtionists he never dared to do anything, etc. Proteus begs the guard to let him speak to Ratbat*, hoping he can avoid dead.

I never decided how it ends, or if Proteus is going to die or not.

(*Ratbat was a beastformer senator, but mostly as a figurehead so the functionists could claim that they don't oppress or discriminate against "good" beastformers. Eventually they tried to have him killed for talking too much, but Soundwave and Ravage save him and he joins the proto-Decepticons. Ratbat later dies in the Autobot-Decepticon war before it leaves Cybertron)

That'd be interesting, especially since i admit i haven't put much thought into the individuals members of the senate that much!

So I'm starting to notice a pattern of things being different now and old systems being taken over.

Just saying.

Pork soda by glass animals but make it enid x cairo during the later times of the ortegaverse

Thats right guys, we're bringing back crime boss enid

She's alot colder now after losing her first bitten mate but there's still that tiny hopeless romantic in her that truly makes her enid and it shows when she thinks back on what her and cairo is

It started with enid not at all knowing what she got into. Its to be expected, its only been a year or two since mabel and she was struggling with no money

Cairo happened once or twice when she caught enid with a bottle in some cheap dive bar. It made things feel simpler, like she was some college student stressing over the inability to do tests

But then enid got reminded of the gaping hole of the crimeworld and she really.... She couldnt help it. She had to take the plunge. She needed to do it, not for her but for May.

Timeskip a year or two and here they are now.

She can still love. Ofcourse she can but there will always be a part of her that aches for mabel and she knows that. Nobody could replace her wife but maybe just maybe she can try to open herself one last time

Its unfortunate that cairo can be such a damn brat once things became serious.

Enid gets it, she does. She ran alot too but things are different now. She has a family now, a little babe to watch over and if she has to ache a bit more to keep this family going then she will. Its callous, its mean and its cold. She wasnt like this, she wasnt supposed to be like this

But she is and she cant change it now, not when its working

Because cairo stays.

She is a beautiful songbird with an open gilded cage and she stays.

Good.

Whatever this is, it wasnt what a younger her wouldve wanted.

There is no whispered assurances against her skin, not in the way that is domestic and truly love. Its not unconditional, not like it was with mabel.

But nobody can replace mabel and nobody can turn back time.

So maybe theres no harm in loving like this for just a bit longer.

i love how ohjae just fantasizes to be sandwiched between dyds at all times like i don't understand his thought process exactly but i also do. very neat of him, may his aspirations annihilate him

i don’t think ohjae understands himself either 😢 let’s see if i can’t try to explain how i see/write him..

ohjae (like dongsoo) was handpicked by doyoung. all we really know about pre-doyoung ohjae is that he isn’t new to the crimeworld, to the point where doyoung recognizes his (handsome..) face from before he was drugged and arrested. so ohjae has been around. seemingly possibly maybe always serving someone- we get to see him serve doyoung. which leads him to things like digging into dongsoo’s life and past and tailing him and such… he gets just as entangled with dongsoo as doyoung does, and in his position of employment, he kind of ends up serving two guys instead of one.

which is probably A LOT for him to deal with. not only does he have to do like, real actual business work, he has to keep his original boss happy, and to keep doyoung happy he has to keep dongsoo happy. idk. i think they all rely on each other A LOT but would never say it out loud. but ohjae’s whole life revolves around those two, and he’s with them all the time and he sees weird stuff so maybe he gets infected with some fantasies..

im not sure if im making sense. ohjae is awesome. some of the obsessive freako love might have rubbed off on him from spending too much time with dyds. maybe he yearns for both of them because he can see the weird scary mutual(?) pining from an outside perspective- and if dy wants ds, oj should too, because his main purpose is to serve. same goes for ds, if he wants something from dy, oj must aim for it too…?

don’t worry he will always get annihilated ❤️ gah his last scene makes me sooooo soooo sad. what would he have said if doyoung had answered…? he’d probably apologize for failing his mission :[ aw ohjae buddy it’s not your fault…

So in a hypothetical if roman was somehow still alive in the renegade au what sorta role would he play in the team in combat along with some extra equipment?

Alright for a hypothetical Renegades!Roman I'd start by fucking him up a little (since you know, he was eaten whole then exploded), so this version of Roman will have some mild scarring and burns, and a maimed leg that he now ironically has to properly use his cane for.

Due to his injury, Roman takes a more supportive role than an active combat role within the Renagades. His charisma and wit makes him great with negotiations and doing cons. His crimeworld connections makes him great for info brokering and black market deals. And his experience with piloting and driving a multitude of advanced vehicles makes him an ideal getaway driver for the renegades when they need a quick escape.

As for extra gear, I'd say upgrade his cane with a stun baton function incase enemies get close, and maybe an advanced Data Scroll just for him andall his dealings, information, and coordinating with the team.

The Allure Of Edridion is another story concept that started as a collab between me and an old friends Yautja character on DeviantART. alienvpredator but the Alien and Predator have no choice but to work together to survive the hostile crimeworld of Edridion.

Back again!

I guess it's a good thing I use the phrase "Next time" instead of "Next Week" because that last post was about a year (yikes!) ago. Since then, I backed off of the project for a bit and then dove in head-first and have been churning through iterations until I've come through with a nearly complete Part 1 aka CrimeWorld and most of parts 2 and 3. (Since all four Parts are interconnected, the design needs to stay integrated and simultaneous.)

I also made some solid progress on the Dual Duel Decks, which feels like designing entire sets as well.

But the biggest new thing and the reason I'm blogging today is because today, I decided to stop dilly-dallying and incorporate the Magic Set Editor Discord Server and Planesculptors into my workflow. I can't stay isolated forever and there's no way I can finish this thing without playtesting and feedback.

I don't know exactly how this will all work, when I can fit it into my schedule, and how many people I can get to even look at my silly little endeavor, much less play it and give feedback, but it only makes sense to become part of a community that can make that happen.

As for this blog, even though I was offline, I never forgot about this format and have been thinking of ways to begin again/use what I've already written to finish chronicling my work. Mostly, I just need to find/establish a nice quiet place to work distraction-free.

Until then, I hope to have a more coherent and steady plan to move forward and complete this set.

ONWARD!

Its amazing how straight its played of Kiryu Kazama being the absolute dumbest motherfucker in the crimeworld, 5 seconds into having a faked death he's recognized by even the most newbie of goons because he literally did nothing but add a J to his name

[milfjessepinkman]

I am so so glad walt never got any bitches in the show. Like I mean yea he was married but I am so glad he never got any bitches u kno. Cause in a lesser show u know he totally would’ve gotten a hot younger girlfriend after Skyler tried to divorce him. Or the Carmen thing would’ve worked. Would’ve completely played into the male power fantasy if suddenly women were all over him lol. Even if it was a self hating thing or abusive i think the male fantasy would’ve overrode that. But instead most of the women just adamantly hated him. Actually all of them i think? Skylar marie Gretchen Carmen etc. I mean everyone in his life hated him by the end not just women lol but I’m so glad the narrative never rewarded his abusive behaviors towards women.

If Your Mother were Here

If Your Mother Were Here by Dawn Till Dusk

"Daddy?"

Hisashi turns to his son, whose wide eyes hold a silent question. "Yeah, bud?"

Izuku shouldn't be up so late, should have fallen asleep hours ago, but that hardly matters to Hisashi. He's here, and he's awake. Other parents might be angry, but he can't find it in himself to be upset.

"Um." Izuku plays with his hands, twisting them this way and that. It's adorable, and Hisashi nearly coos at the sight. "Can you read me a story?"

Or: Hisashi reads Izuku a bedtime story, and misses Inko all the while.

your ask made me think of another au, Master with bheem as j.d. and ram as bhavani. how do u think this is gonna play out? ram is a morally gray guy but not to the extent shown in the film, he's still redeemable. bheem is the professor who's trying to set the kids right cuz he lost malli

You know what? From what I've seen in the movie, I can definitely see this unfolding. Bheem becoming alcoholic after he loses Malli and trying to retain a job and ending up teaching delinquents and actually fighting for them when he discovers something wrong has happened and on the other side is Ram where he is like fuck my life and trauma and and tries to do good but is sunk deep into the crimeworld. And the two of them meet not knowing that they are actually fighting each other and yessss!!!

Ram helps Bheem control his alcohol and when Bheem intially thinks that Ram was a gunda he tries to get him out of crime before discovering that he's the boss himself and works hard on subtly trying to reform him but then Ram discovers and they fight before they vent out their back stories and well... That's all my sleep deprived brain can think of rn 👀

Oh and maybe both of them are a tiny bit suicidal because of their lives
