*its definitely not as common nowadays as it was back in like ~2018 but ill still sometimes see someone treating flowey and asriel like completely diffrent characters or say stuff like "my favorite character is asriel but not flowey!" which to me is just... super confusing? because honestly the fact that they're the same person is, to me, one of the most interesting parts of his character. whenever i am turning flowey around in my brain i cannot stop thinking about how theres still asriel in him, like when in the alarm clock dialoge toriel mentions that she woke up in her bed with a glass of water filled to the brim, like how asriel did it, next to her after passing out on the floor, or how emotional he is, quickly becoming frustrated being just how quick asriel was to cry. or even how he still looks up to chara. he tries to pretend asriel is "long dead" but he is still the same person. despite everything, its still him.

i dont know i just feel like seperating asriel and flowey takes away so much depth from his character

Skipping ahead to today's NMTDaily video- the go-to obvious angsty AU for play era is what if Benedick and Claudio had actually had to duel. So in this canon, where there are no swords, I've often wondered if there was anything that could make this Ben actually punch Claudio, which is the closest we'd get. (They couldn't have posted it on the internet, but that's not the point here.) This episode is that answer, that Ben isn't a violent person, just goes cold and angry and kicks Claud and Pedro out of his house just by saying "Leave." Now, if they'd refused to leave and kept bad-mouthing Hero and Bea... everyone has a breaking point. In this AU, he'd lose his temper and hit Claud once, and both Claud and Pedro'd immediately leave in shock. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered fic-ing it just to get to write Ben showing up at Bea's all freaked out with a badly bruised hand, and her taking care of him and also freaking out, like "when I said kill him, I didn't mean literally, this could've been so much worse, oh god, I'm so glad you're okay you idiot." It's got hurt/comfort potential for sure, but it always ends up feeling OOC on everyone's parts when I plot it out in my head, so I haven't done it. I think TCW modernized this exactly right.

It's also really interesting that the boys come to Ben's house looking for fun and comfort here, when in the play I'm pretty sure Benedick is the one who storms in on them to issue his challenge to Claudio. It tracks that in this version, dueling isn't a thing anymore and kicking them out of his room better shows Ben repudiating them in a modern sense. I just always think it's chillingly compelling to think about how the kids in this universe were soldiers who fought duels in the original universe and how much I want to protect them from that- even Claudio and Pedro, even though they suck right now.

I'll do a liveblog of this episode when I get to it, but here's some on-time thoughts.

[its-been-rose]

GAHAHAHAHhahahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa every time i try to close my eyes and go to sleep i keep thinking about the poltergeist au /ghost au

Okay like imagine Ghosf George is finally reunited with his family again and he’s happy but then Peggy is like “oh wow gee look at the time it’s sure getting late, don’t you think George? Don’t you just wanna head to bed? You’ve had such a long night. Let’s all get to the cemetery and you can cozy up and take a nice long nap” (trying to get him to be at rest so he never returns to the land of the living again)

And they all go but when they get there George, through usage of the radio/other ghost-detecting technologies, makes it clear that he doesn’t want to go to sleep because he wants to be with his family. Marie knows that he’s dead, and is never going to be able to be alive again, and that he needs to be put to rest, so she’s like “would you agree to at least try to go to sleep if I laid down next to you?” And he agrees and so she literally lays down next to his grave.

After like a few minutes she’s like “George?” And he again makes his presence known through the radio and she’s like “you need to go to sleep. You know that.”

And he’s like “can’t… could you… tell… me… a…. story?” Obviously through whatever means he has of communicating. And she’s like “okay, but you have to promise to go to sleep after I tell it.”

And so she starts on a story…

“Once upon a time, there was a small town. And in that small town lived a boy and a girl. From the moment they met, it was love at first sight, and they knew they wanted to be together forever. They were so happy together, they didn’t realize that they were making… some reckless decisions sometimes. But maybe that’s a good thing, because a short time later the pair were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. They loved this boy with all their hearts. The mother would sing to him, cuddle him, and bake special treats for him. The father would dance with him and teach him about the world and play sports in the backyard with him. They didn’t have much, but they were happy. Soon the boy grew up and went off to college to start his own life, leaving his parents so extremely proud of their son. The couple grew old together, with occasional visits from their son and his own family, and they lived happily ever after. The end.”

And after a bit she’s like “….George?” But there’s no ghost activity anymore and the radio isn’t picking anything up. So she gets up and walks off with Peggy and Henry to decompress for a bit before the sun rises and it’s a new day again.

SK's webs are stronger than any rope Lucifer has so he once tried to convince her to string Mammon up as punishment...

Suffice to say Mammon and SK went on a shopping spree with a newly liberated Goldie while Lucifer was forced to take a nap.

he's furious but he can't DO anything... he just has to hang there and act like this is all part of his plan (it's not)

this tactic also proves surprisingly useful for forcing lucifer to take a break when he's overworking

Beetlejuice Havoc(2005) AU that no one asked for tbh

A naive young girl learns that even the most insignificant actions can have lasting consequences. Influenced by undead gang culture and seeking to explore life outside of her insulated, culturally homogenized suburb, pretty young Lydia sets her sights on the Neitherworld to experience the "undead" lifestyle firsthand. By the time she meets a ruthless Demon named Beetlejuice, a sinister poltergeist intent on escaping his curse, and realizes just how far out of her element she really is, it may already be too late to turn back.

OR The life of a wealthy breather from New York whose exposure to "Goth culture" inspires her to imitate the "undead gang lifestyle." Although, she soon runs into trouble when she comes face-to-face with a real demon, intent on making her his bride.

Basically Lydia wants to slum it in the Neitherworld with the demon we know and love, getting caught up in the fast life with his gang of undead heathens.

Friends to enemies to kidnapping to lovers ....

Thinking about a mechanic!AU where the 141 boys run a garage and need a new receptionist. They hire you because you’re just so cute (great tits) and have a decent resume but it becomes a slight problem when they realize you’re a bit… dense.

Total ditz to be precise.

But they can’t really get mad when you get the keys for clients mixed up and look at them with those big eyes all teary and a little pout pushing out your lower lip.

Price is the most patient, perfectly content to walk you through how to file paperwork and fill out forms. Instructing you in a low voice while his breath brushes the shell of your ear. It’s really their fault for having such a terrible system, you know? Don’t worry about it too much, dove. He’ll settle his big hands on your shoulders and gently trace up and down your arms. See? You’re getting it. Just needed some more practice, hm?

Johnny is more than happy to show you around the garage, rattling off everything he knows about all those nitty gritty details that go right over your pretty little head. He’ll pop open the hood of some sports car and point to the engine to show it off. No, bonnie, you’ve got tae get in close. Closer.

Until you’re bent entirely over in one of those too-short skirts you wear everyday. It takes all his willpower not to yank you into the supply closet.

Gaz is just so sweet to you. Always bringing you little treats and candies to suck on. To help you concentrate, of course. Always greeting you with a soft ‘baby girl’ at the beginning of your shift. Whenever you’re standing around be it at the printer or counter - wherever really - he’ll slip a hand on your waist. It always trails a little lower, his pinky just edging on the hem of your too tight jeans.

Ghost gets frustrated with you to the point of causing tears to well up in the corners of your eyes. He’s feels guilty, sure, but bloody hell just print the damn receipt. He avoids you for the most part. Until one evening when it’s pouring down. You forgot your rain coat of course, silly girl. He offers you a ride which you take happily.

After that he can’t get rid of you. You bring him coffees (how you remember his order word for word but not where you last left your own cup is beyond him) and giggle at his jokes. When a client gets too snappy or too loud he’s the first to step in - standing behind you glaring at them with his huge arms crossed over his chest until they back down.
