📓 📓 📓 Go off king tell the world even more about this silly little AU of ours

Ah, wouldja look at that, my darling mate is awake~ This is why I can't be mad at my sleep schedule being this comically awful. I get to say good morning to you and send you off to work with a kiss like you always do for me! ;O;

The question is, are there any fics in my spreadsheet that you don't know about??? I don't think there is! I think In Observation was the only one I added that you didn't know about already? Uhm, I did just notice I had to update What Could Be's status and pitch, because Angel never does become the court sketch artist, and it was always meant to be their first date and we RPed that, so I just gotta back it up.

So I think this works best as "what ideas do I have kicking around that I've forgotten to tell you about that I'm sure you'll help me brainstorm into actual fics that will go in the spreadsheet until I write them", so how about I just bullet-point a list and we find out what happens.

I have that Shieldsworth smut fic I haven't titled nor finished. I should do that. I am taking title suggestions.

I really want to write the Sagiverse version of The Inherited Turnabout / the entirety of AAI2, because it features Marlis and Marni way more, and Ray gets to be cursed the entire time. Sagiverse!Ray is so different from canon!Ray that his existence alone will change stuff, so I wanna write that together.

Obviously, we need to write the Elderqueer's Aethelian trip, and the four really reclaiming their draconity. This will happen after I sit down and worldbuild the shit out of the Aethel. I am requesting / begging / asking very nicely for all your high-fantasy concepts and ideas that haven't been integrated into something, because the Aethel is like twenty realms and I intend on going off the shits, so we're gonna yes-and rule of cool. I established in I think The Deafening Distance that some of the bridges in Ilya Alyve's highways are just straight up mushroom concrete. Also, titles and ideas of what they're doing along the way. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if we write this sometime this summer? It might actually be part of Mangoes, now that I think about it, it would be really fitting??? Yeah, okay, I think this is just one of the major plotlines of Mangoes. Lmao. xD

We really gotta sit down and plot out both the Imma and Amaryllis arcs... I say, knowing full well that doing the Imma arc requires sitting down and writing MvK & Addie vs the German Narrators not once but twice and also the Narrator Revolution, and doing the Amaryllis arc means plotting and probably coding three Heroes Infinity games, which requires the timeline, which requires the Infini12 storyline and also Willow's backstory. We could probably do the Imma arc soonish, because it's not so dependent on the Revolution + the German Narrators that we have to rewrite it the moment we do those, but let's be real with how much story we gotta dig into, I'll be amazed if we get to the Amaryllis arc by our wedding. xD Not that I'm complaining! I am looking very much forward to getting to write all this together!!!

See, now I really want to dive directly into Heroes Infinity again, because like, Mia, Diego, Willow, Dahlia, and Marni (and Ray as a bonus) being there changes the story so goddamn much. This immediately brings to mind the scene where Vitta is just yelling at Kaden for stealing the MEWS serum, except she immediately turns around and sees Marni ignoring her health problems, considers going and joining the Legion, sees Willow doing the exact same shit, and then goes back to the Heroes because Kaden is less bad than these two, and that's without her finding out about Ray who is literally only alive because the curse refuses to let him die. I gotta finish Kominting on Blueberries + Apricots before I plunge into Kominting on the HI drafts, but I am so excited to see how throwing some Lawyers into the mix changes things. Mia and Diego parenting the Connors-Shermans Edgeworth-Armandos is gonna be so good, and it not saving them is going to be so angsty and so good. So good. ;O;

Also I forgot until just now but you know Ehaelos? The guy I was bitching about not being able to picrew because he's Black and has red hair? Apparently he only wasn't Miles' advisor at Kensington because Miles really wanted to wingman Marlis. That's fucking hilarious. Miles Edgeworth really did say that wingmanning his sister was more important than his necromancer education and I choose to believe that this is the only trait he retained from MvK, who kinda was That Guy. Objectively, this is the funniest trivia fact in Sagiverse, right next to Raykath.

I really, really want to write the fic of Marlis saving Willow on the ghostroads, because it's also the fic of Atticus saving Marlis and Hannelore being conceived, but like, all of the characters involved save Willow are usually yours to POV from, so I may pass this one onto you, but either way we gotta write it my dude, we can't just Not.

One of these days I will write I Live for Glitter, Not You and it is going to be the objectively funniest fic I've ever written, and then right after it, I will write Hold On Through the Night and we'll get to see drunk Miles angsting over Charley and Larry egging him on, and that's that on that.

Also I found out tonight that during Fight the Good Fight, Miles realizes that Carter knew who Ray was (because he referenced him so heavily in The Last Star of Morning) and promptly summons him and then punches him in the face. He conveniently forgets that Carter couldn't have told him due to the curse, and then has to be restrained so he doesn't punch him again. Because if he does then Ali will kick him in the balls, and Ali kicking Miles in the balls only ever ends in Atticus grounding everyone involved.

Which reminds me. We've gone over Carter and Simon's arc exclusively in quotes. We should, at the very least, turn these into Audiomance recordings and make them into a proper fic. Because otherwise they will never see the light of day and we can't torment Tsuko with them. I feel like if we actually let anyone into the quotes doc we'd die, so we should formalize those and sic them on our friends. I dunno if their arc changes enough to warrant rewriting the canon cases (there are So Many Other things we gotta write and we only have two fucking thimbles to move this ocean with ;~; ) but I do wanna get those all fancied up. That would be great. I love them so much. ;O;

I'll let you in on a funny little secret that you're going to think is absolutely cringe, because I'm looking at the spreadsheet trying to figure out where my train of thought went. You know why I haven't finished Different Worlds, Same Old Moon? It's only halfway because my smut muse is super iffy. It's mostly because the phone in Atticus' apartment is in the hallway, and cell phones were not invented in '71, and it's a far enough stretch of suspension of disbelief to say Atticus rerouted the office phone to go to his home phone after hours, which means Ray has to go pick up the phone from the hallway. Hard to do with what they're doing at the moment, so I was originally like "he just picks him up and keeps doing that with Atticus on his shoulders", but that doesn't work, and you know why? You wanna know why? Because no fuckin hallway ever is going to be tall enough that they can do that, unless Atticus' shitty downtown L.A. apartment in 1971 has comically high ceilings, which it fuckin wouldn't, and thus my ability to write crashed and burned. Once I circumvent this incredibly difficult problem, I will be able to keep writing and hopefully finish it. But I have not doing that, and thus I have writer's block. These are the things that stop me from writing. I must have historical accuracy or I will die. This is the real reason why I need the timeline. I'm pretty sure Hanne and Trucy don't actually have Switches. They meet Ray in 2001. They have Gameboys. They might have played the original Animal Crossing if it was out by then, but certainly not the newer ones. Now, it's entirely likely that we can chalk the Nintendo Switch coming out twenty years earlier to Tails, which would be funny as hell, but we gotta establish this one way or another or otherwise I will die.

Dear god I want to write some fic with Bex, Wolf, and Aingel. But that requires dealing with the Heroes of Kharos, and their storyline is something I really know fuckall about, and I know we're not circling back to that until the Brainrot calls us back to Sonata. Which will happen, but probably after we jump back into Heroes Infinity, so like, I totally wanna do it Right Now but we have two fucking thimbles. I wish Diego did have the power to control gravity and make the world stop turning. Then maybe I could fling the thimble faster and write all of this all at once. I want to stick an extra 32gb of ram directly into my brain. Help.

And I have to end it there because uh. Tumblr. Tumblr what.

Aight, I guess tumblr wants me to go to bed. xD See you in the morning, my lovely, please tell me your thoughts!!! ;O;

[send me a book emoji and I'll tell you the premise of a fic I haven't written yet]

[spoonyglitteraunt]

Look Zelda, girl, I know ok. It’s been a hot minute, but look these mushrooms weren’t going to pick themselves okay? And you know how I get on an empty stomach. I even brought you, uh… this frog! Look, remember these? I wish I didn't.

Oh Zelda isn’t here? Yes, this is my surprised face, why do you ask? Why would one ever expect things to be easy in the land of we misplace our princess every few decades or so. Granted I didn’t exactly expect floating apparition Zelda instead, but then again who does.

That’s a big ass door and we are but a tiny Link.

Door 1, Link 0

Another shrine? Sneaky sneaky.

Rauru, you could have just given us.. a... hand … you know what, never mind. Another shrine you said?

I don’t know how Purah made a device that can teleport us to locations in an area she didn’t even knew existed let alone expected us to travel to, but I’m just going to go with, thanks Purah!

Sometimes you work your way up to the next area the sensible intended way. And sometimes you think you’re doing it the normal way and somehow end up overshooting the goal so spectacularly you end up on top of the worldmap. But no matter, at least there is a korok here. There always a korok here.

That last rewind puzzle was a fun one. Took my tired brain a second to figure it out. Even if I foresee this mechanic to be my least favourite one in the game.

New nemesis unlocked. Those wing flyers thingies and I are not going to be best friends, I can tell. And it’s not because I already dropped to my death four times. Ok maybe it’s a little because of that.

Sure why make it easy on me to get back to the statue when you can instead not. You just had to make me redo that puzzle again, didn’t you? I am glad there is a bit of a delay before the rewind starts though, or my reflex challenged behind would be really struggling.

Link vs Door, round two

Look at the power of our invisible muscles!

Put your heart(s) into it, Link!

Rauru: you were almost beyond saving. Yeah that happens to us a lot actually. At least we didn’t take a 100 year nap this time. I think.

Byeeee tutorial ghost buddy! Say hi to king Rhoam for us and remind him what a terrible father he was!

Ah yes the combine thing to weapon mechanic, I foresee many shenanigans in our future. Now where can I find a steak?

They brought back keys?!! This should not make me this giddy, but nostalgia is a go.

Combining things to arrows is oddly satisfying. Now we’ll just have to wait to see if my desire to fuck around and find out outweighs my anxiety about using up resources I might need later. Because this is fun, but also must. Hoard. All the things.

First death of the game, lesson to self don’t try to take on the heavy hitters head on when at puny health. Hubris thy name was Link.

A shirt a shirt Zelda’s kingdom for a… okay maybe not that.

I do really like the news shrines design. They are similar enough to feel like they belong in the same world as the previous game’s shrines, but also look just new enough to stand apart. And I really like the way it opens up and closes the spore granting statue. Although I’m less clear on who is actually doing the dispensing here.

Our new ghost buddy really does love to follow us around, doesn’t he? Did he and Rhoam swap notes by any chance? “Ah yes, pop up right when they have their back turned for extra effect. See if you can make Link do an actual facial expression for once.” “Ohohoho good one. Shall I wax poetically about days gone by as well?” “Yes, by all means. The more vague and cryptic but laden with barely hidden sorrow the better.”

Urge to jump off high point. Must. Suppress.

*Sees something hanging from the ceiling* That does not look friendly. Spoilers: it wasn’t.

And still no shirt. You know, I’m starting to think this wasn’t just to show off the arm, dear devs.
