Okay but: Modern AU for Cody x Obi-Wan, where they live in the same apartment building. Maybe they've shared a couple words before, but I wouldn't call them close.

I'm picturing Obi-Wan as a nurse, and Cody as security for somewhere, but neither job is set in stone.

Because the important bit is: they end up in the elevator at the same time. It stops between floors.

Obi-Wan- having experienced this before and frankly being too tired- sits on the floor. Where Cody- never having experienced this- doesn't freak out as such, but he doesn't feel good about this.

It's a few minutes, the little "Hey, we've phoned the fire department" light comes on, and now it's a waiting game.

Obi-Wan says, "You don't have to stand, you seem tired."

Cody eyes him suspiciously, but sits down.

They get to chatting and find that they'd been in the same brigade, but during different years, let alone all the faces one sees or doesn't while in the military.

It's a nice conversation- keep each other calm, though they weren't overly worried. Maybe nice enough conversation to go for coffee sometime?

Being constantly surrounded by the presence of a loving God sounds great until you realize you never know when his freaky fuckin eyes are gonna show up to check on you.

And man. They do it a LOT.

Me when I don't like a movie: Ugh I can't stand when people say shit like "If you didn't like this movie, you just didn't get it." I understood it just fine. It was just a bad movie! People are so goddamn condescending.

Me reading bad reviews for Monkey Man (2024): None of you understood this movie at all actually

So I love @sea-owl Philip and Penelope friendship aus and I just thought of a very funny scene for a modern take based on something that happened to me today lol

So this is a reverse stuck in the elevator trope but with a Philip and Penelope misunderstanding

Philip is in the elevator getting ready to go pick up his kids from a playdate at Daphne's penthouse, and Penelope runs in the elevator Absolutely in a rush, because she's trying to get away from the rain outside, she happens to be wearing a wool dress that's evidently absorbed all the water of the storm because she got caught in the storm without an umbrella and is desperate to get to Daphne's and change before she catches a cold.

so she gets in the elevator with Philip and the elevator malfunctions and stops working, after a few minutes shivering in her dripping dresss Penelope let's go of her pride and asks Philip if he wouldn't happened to have a shirt lying around in his suitcase and Phillip, who knows Penelope is a friend Marina's, being the nice person he is who obviously wants to help her, seeing she's obviously so cold decides on an emergency solution.

Meaning he doesn't think it trough and takes off his jacket to offer Penelope his own oversized Polo Shirt, because the elevator is broken and who knows how long they'll be stuck there. He'd rather she be a bit dry, even if it leaves him in his undershirt, Phillip goes as far as offering Penelope his pants too, but she respectfully declines, seeing as his shirt is long enough to be used as a dress if needs to be. Penelope is so desperate to get dry she accepts his help.

Phillip turns around, closes his eyes and Penelope changes from her drenched dress into his oversized shirt. But just as Phillip is about to put on his jacket again and Penelope is trying make herself presentable: the elevator starts working again

And before our two protagonist can do much about it, the doors of the elevator open.... Right Infront a shocked Colin Bridgerton and his sister Eloise

Colin looks at Penelope Dressed in Phillip's shirt, he also looks at Phillip without his jacket, dressed only in his undershirt and his pants half undone, Penelope visibly disheveled and starts seeing red, while Eloise just stares at the half undressed Phillip. Too shocked for words, but also seriously angry

Colin is seething. Eloise starts going on a tirade

Meanwhile Penelope and Phillip are like "We swear this isn't what it looks like!"

Looking like this, nobody is going to believe they're perfect strangers to each other

An oc I've been building and working on for a hot minute now.

So far she's a few sketches and a bullet points outline but.

Her name is Helena, she's a welder/engineering assistant (which in star wars I think just makes her a mechanic?) and I've made her a fox girly. This is one of my rough drafts of their first early interactions.

...and yes they do get stuck in that elevator.

Bedivere is the one character in Arthuriana that I can imagine being the stereotypical anime swordsmaster of the Round Table.

You know the one... the cliché Iaido user, who can whip out his sword, slash you a billion times and resheathe the sword in a blink of an eye. As well as being able to dash so fast, it looks like he's teleporting (although that's Galahad's thing, apparently).

Of course, Bedivere is an amputee, so he gets points for being held back and never at his full potential. This also makes him the guy who gets constantly underestimated by both his enemies and his companions.

But whenever Bedivere gets serious...

The thing about the miscommunication trope done RIGHT with Byler is that both of their behavior is totally rational and I would probably do the same based on what they think the situation is, AND they also have valid reason to dismiss the idea that the situation is anything else.

ORV question! I started reading the webtoon and it mentioned KDJ having his face censored; was this in the novel too and I just forgot somehow? Why censor my beautiful baby boy :(

Stuck With You

Rating: M

Chapters: 1/1

Words: 12,363

Summary: Life can't possibly get any worse after being dumped by one's ex and kicked out of their apartment during a tropical storm, right? Wrong. Add in getting trapped in an elevator with a complete stranger in the middle of the night for an undetermined amount of time, and Zuko is sure that it all must mean that the Spirits are out to get him.

Or maybe not.

Maybe he's exactly where he needs to be.
