What if?
What if ?
What if Remus and Regulus were criminal masterminds?
Would you like a clearer picture?
The dimly lit warehouse echoed with the clinking of glass and the murmur of voices, shadows dancing across crates stacked high. Remus Lupin leaned casually against a metal beam, his piercing gaze fixed on the young man seated across from him. Regulus Black, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, exuded an air of quiet confidence as he studied the intricate blueprint spread out before him.
"So, Lupin," Regulus began, his voice smooth and calculated, "this is your latest scheme?"
Remus chuckled softly, running a hand through his tousled hair. "Call it an opportunity, Regulus. An opportunity for both of us."
Regulus raised an eyebrow, his fingers tapping lightly on the paper. "I'm listening."
"It's simple," Remus explained, his tone carrying the weight of experience. "There's a shipment coming in next week. High-value goods, untraceable currency. We intercept it before it reaches its destination."
Regulus nodded thoughtfully, his mind already mapping out contingencies and potential risks. "And what's in it for me?"
"A fair split, of course," Remus replied with a smirk. "Enough to keep the Black fortune thriving."
"Always about the money, Lupin," Regulus remarked, though there was a glint of amusement in his dark eyes.
"Isn't it always?" Remus countered, his own eyes sparkling with a mixture of mischief and determination. "But this isn't just about money, Regulus. It's about power. About proving that we're the ones who make the rules in this city."
Regulus leaned back in his chair, a slow smile spreading across his face. "You always did have a way with words, Lupin. Very well. Let's do it."

puss in boots’ (and also shrek universe movies in general) takes on fairy tale characters is so good. the way they make them grittier and darker by making a lot of them bounty hunters/crooks/etc without making it overly edgy and still keeping the fairytale whimsy of it all and keeping elements of the original fairytales/nursery rhymes is FANTASTIC i love these movies so much
#TERFS STOP REBLOGGING THIS#puss in boots#the big bad wolf as the personification of death is literally SO good#humpty dumpty being a criminal mastermind while also being a silly looking walking egg#goldilocks being adopted into the crime family of the 3 bears and also still saying goofy stuff like too small/too big/just right#like yeah its gritty but its also so WHIMSICAL

Underrated moment is zuko assuming the gaang was aware he sent combustion man, and ratting himself out by accident lol
"Ok these guys know im a criminal mastermind by now". Oh zuko lol
The funniest part about that scene is Zuko trying to correct Sokka on the combustion man's name to me
"Well that's not his name but-" Zuko, bestie, i don't think that's what matters rn 😭😭
#also criminal mastermind is giving zuko a lot of credit anon#more like anxious teenager that needed someone else to take care of business so he could keep playing prince#atla#avatar the last airbender#avatar#zuko#prince zuko#ask dori#anon

i know tachihara was likely the most recent recruit for the hunting dogs but it'd be super funny if the vault robbery happened when he was even younger and he was like. the third recruited. like yeah welcome to the team, meet your senior employees: the hero of the world, this women who likes to be in the form of a 12 year old and this actual 12 year old.
#ignore the implications from a like 8 year old modified soldier#and think about how fucking funny that is#esp imagining jouno joining (former criminal mastermind) and being like “how is this worse than where I just was”#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#tachihara michizou#teruko okura#fukuchi ouchi#the hunting dogs#hunting dogs#hunting dogs bsd

Dragonslayer kinda cute tho, ngl
Tbf, Yang does get a more questioning look when Jaune actually mentions stealing the airship, but I thought this was pretty good.
I’m usually more of a White Knight kind of guy, but the Dragonslayer ship is also really fun.

In Season 3 I'd like a flashback with Azirpahale talking to Jane Austen, where she laments the need to marry to secure a prosperous future as a woman, and he inadvertently encourages her into a life of crime whilst gossiping about a hot, red-head criminal mastermind he's currently crushing on...

Albedo spent sixty years rescuing Nahida from her cage, because he was looking for a challenge to test himself against. He didn't spend much time thinking about how, after the rush of satisfaction had faded, he would be in possession of a newborn god of wisdom who was so lost she tried to go back into her cage.
"Why are you here?" she asked, puzzled, as soon as the door to her cage opened. "There's so much-- You did so much, so why are you here?"
He stared at her as all of his sense of accomplishment washed away.
She began to gabble. "I knew something was happening, I could see your echoes, the ripples like a fish underwater, and I didn't know what you could want but I helped you when I could, because I wanted to see them beaten so why are you here?"
Because this is the finish line. But he knew better than to say that. Instead, he ran a rapid post-mortem on his plans over the last sixty years. When had the flaw been introduced, and how could he compensate for it?
"Okay," she said into the silence. "Now what?" Her eyes reminded him of glass marbles.
"I don't know what you want me to do," she said bitterly after a moment. "There's nothing I can do."
It was a worldview alien to Albedo. Ever since his mother abandoned him, he'd practiced turning his knowledge into power over the world around him. Before they called him a mastermind, they called him a meddler, and usually he didn't bother tidying up when he was done.
"Oh. I see," she said, drawing her own conclusion and dropping her gaze. "You didn't come for me after all. How stupid I am."
And even then, he struggled. He could see the potential shapes of the consequence he'd created and he didn't like them. He'd done something terrible and he had to repair it, but how--??
Tears began to spill from those green eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm just not good enough yet. I shouldn't... I shouldn't get involved." And, wiping her eyes, she'd turned to step back into the cage.
That, at least, he could respond to. "No, don't do that. It would only make things worse."
"What?" She half-turned, her mouth open in surprise.
"Would you like something to eat or drink?" That was probably a safe thing to ask in the situation. The government imprisoning her had been thoroughly disabled that morning. And newborns were often hungry.
"What?" she repeated, and then ran over to him. "Did you change your mind?"
Pleasantly, he said, "I think you did, but that's not an important detail at the moment. Why don't we sit down and talk about a few things?"
She promptly sat down, looking up at him with clear curiosity. He sat down on the ground too, refining his evaluation of her. "First of all, do you have a name of your own? One that doesn't belong to the Archon?"
"Nahida," she said, possibly for the first time. She looked a little surprised, in any case.
"I'm happy to meet you, Nahida. My name is Albedo." He gave her a friendly smile, and she stared at him like she was decoding his face. "Let's try to figure out what you'd like to do now."
"May I ask a question first?" She spoke with a respectfulness he didn't deserve. Not from her, anyhow. He'd have to earn it first.
"Please do. I'll do my best to answer it." While she formulated her thoughts, he began to synthesize some fish snacks he hoped she'd find palatable.
"Beyond your name, who are you?" It was a question carefully considered, and not the one he expected. But her earnest gaze remained fixed on him.
He considered his own response. It wasn't a question he was in the habit of answering. "Mostly, I plan things for other people. I'm quite clever and I've lived a long time compared to most, so I have certain advantages I enjoy sharing. In quite a few places, I'm considered a criminal, because what I help people do is often illegal. " He offered her the fish snacks. "I also engage in projects of my own, like this one."
She accepted one and nibbled on it. He observed as her eyes widened and she nibbled a bit more before finally making a face and putting it down. "I don't know how to taste it right. I'll work on it later."
"Is that what you want to do?" He saw this as a natural way of leading back to the core topic, but when she flinched, admitted to himself that such directness might have been a little cruel after already thrusting so much change on her unannounced.
"Do you think it tastes good?" she asked him uncertainly.
"Yes, I do."
She thought for a moment. "I'd like to learn to like it too, then. And I want to stay with you, please."
Did gods imprint? He'd never looked into the question. But the truth remained: she might be the god of wisdom, but she was also a powerful and traumatized child. If he walked away now, one way or another, she'd show up in his life again, the worse for it.
Calmly, he said, "Yes, I thought you might say that. Do you also want to rule Sumeru?"
She shrugged, curled up in a ball, rocked back and forth. "Sumeru is a dream to me, a world on the other side of pages and glass." Then she sat up again. "But you are somebody I never imagined existed. That seems more interesting than governing a country that doesn't want me to exist, all by myself."
"I agree," he said. "Still, having Sumeru on a stable footing may be useful in the future, so we should probably sort out the knot I made before we go on our way."

I watched like 3 eps of Hannibal and it is so funny this is how it sounds to me
Will: So then I found the guy cooking the body of the man we'd been looking for. It turned out he was gonna eat him, so I shot him dead.
Hannibal, holding a suspiciously human-shaped sandwich: I see. Have you ever wanted to taste another man, Will?
Will: No, not really. I don't want to lose my humanity like that, but what if that's who I am deep inside? What if everyone is right, and I'm exactly the same as these murderers?
Hannibal: 𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾 👅

Y'know what-
Fuck villain hiveminds and secret agents-
crime circus
Trapeze artists and aerial acrobats sneaking into the securest of buildings. Pulling off high stakes heists with nothing more than some rope and a partner.
Balancing acts making their escape via telephone lines.
Clowns creating elaborate distractions to draw attention way from the object of interest.
Various artists who use objects in their acts wielding said objects as unique weapons and tools.
Animal tamers using animals to perform heists where humans ar unable to go.
Ventriloquists using their abilities to get people out of trouble, or creating imitations.
the Ringmaster, planning heists, the 'mastermind' (takes the 'credit' so as to protect their circus artists) The one who answers to the press and the authorities when they get suspicious.
The circus acting like a massive family, and no one can tie down the crimes to a single person because everyone is too good at covering their tracks. And if it does happen, that the authorities get a clue, they always back each other up and then the police is just as confused as when they first started.
And since their all a family. If anyone messes with one of the artists, the whole circus is there to wreak havoc.
Always travelling, and planning their heists accordingly.
Tutors and mentors to help the young ones with their worldly and criminal education.
Like- HELLO?!
