Dear John || Pt.1

Masters of the Air Fanfiction

Requested: ☑️ My sweet Bri begged for a love-letter-centric Egan fic and with her wonderfully infectious ideas this was produced, the first part of many.

Summary: Major John Egan wasn’t the pen-pal sort but a couple of hours into a dark night full of writing condolence letters, he finds himself wondering why he never tried his hand at the nicer forms of correspondence. Who better to reanimate his numb inspiration than the glamorous Miss Lana Tierney? -the army’s girl next door, the pinup so prolific she was practically a wall paper print and Bucky’s long-standing cinematic crush. It’s not like she’ll read it anyways, tucked up in luxury in Beverly Hills with carts of tedious fanmail burned in her back yard each day, his letter will get lost in the mix. It’s harmless. That thought -and the booze- may loosen his pen a little too much but it’s alright, it’s not like she’ll read it. Right? Right.

It was specified in the request to use or create some of those old WWII dirty acronyms, so in here you have Bucky making up his own for his starlet crush (acorn). I’m ripping off a few ladies here, Lana Turner, Betty Grable, Hedy Lamarr to name a few -the moodbaord is for general aesthetics, I try to keep my fem!readers and oc’s as ambiguous physically as possible. (Besides the fact Johnny Egan finds you mouthwatering, which -be honest with yourself here sweet thing!!- he would.

Rating: 18+ this is the letter writing, vintage form of sexting. i kid you not, this man swings wildly from sweet as pie to downright filthy and vintage slang for anatomical parts is used freely. This would make a better shameful diary entry than a letter but he’s a rogue and he’s in a war, cut him some slack.

Fun game: how many times can Major Egan manage to mention Buck in a horny fan letter to his crush?

Dear A.C.O.R.N.

It is highly unlikely that you remember me, but, all the same, we have met. Now, hear me out, I’m sure fellas say that to you all the time but my point still stands and to match them I’ll do you one better, seeing as how I am not buttering you up for something in return -I have met you, yes, but I have also sung to you.

There. Said it.

Not that you’d recall that either, but then again maybe you would, but either way it doesn’t matter as the entire reason I am writing to you is because it is entirely unlikely you will ever open this god-awful endeavor made of pen and ink.

I am quite drunk, you see.

A necessary medicine. And they do make good whiskey here, one of the few joys they haven’t rationed yet. It’s got me wondering what’s your poison of choice. Something fruity? Or are you an olive sucker? Like that salt on the rim? Or maybe you go for somethin’ silky and warm goin’ down your throat? Which-ever it is, I bet you’d be a surprise, sweet ACORN, I just know it. You were a surprise at the canteen. Back in Jersey? Before shipping out? I know you were on a whole tour and kisses were goin’ for dollars but still, you were a surprise.

A lovely one, really. And that’s the point of this letter. To tell you that you're lovely and while I’m not the pen-pal sort, I’ve written home 80 letters tonight to families whose boys I was supposed to bring home. It got me thinking: Bucky, why the hell don’t you write nice letters? Whyd you only write ‘em now that you gotta? And it occurred to me then that the one silver lining in this whole Air Exec job is the desk, the lamp and the office.

I could write anybody from here. I could write you.

And you wouldn't read it so I could write anything. And it could be a nice letter. ‘Cause I don’t know anybody of yours to tell you anythin’ sad about them and you don’t know me except that I’m alive and drunk. Which is better than those poor eighty two bastards. Which reminds me, I’ve still got two more but maybe Buck will take those, he took seventeen off to his bunk to write from there. Buck doesn't have a desk because he’s not as important as me and he has all the luck.

You’ve met Buck, too, Acorn. He was the appalled pretty one with the straw colored hair pulling me off you after we had our duet. He objects to your nickname, see, even though you didn’t seem to mind. You were lovely, A.C.O.R.N. And I’d not wanna ruin this letter by telling you what it means, not now that I’m actually writing to you and determined to be nice but Buck knows and while he agrees with me as much as any man in the nation that you’ve got the most robust rack on the silver screen -he has objections, you see. So it wasn’t the song or the canoodling he didn’t like, and I still say, he broke up a little love affair that night. Bastard. So I’m writing to you now because as the acronym suggests, I’ve got a goal in my mind in regards to you. I tell myself -Bucky, there’s reasons to make it back.

Reasons, Bucky, reasons. Like Acorn and her halo of gorgeous hair that smelled like coconuts and the way she thought my new lyrics were pretty clever. That’s what you said, acorn, you said they were pretty clever. Now I may have been a little drunk then, too, but I think you might’ve been tipsy, that coke smelled too strong to be straight. I still have the straw you gave me, it’s bent to hell but I’ve taken it up each mission. I’m not counting on it for luck so much as a reminder of the aforementioned reasons. To come back. Your lipstick has mostly worn off but I figure it’s still the same.

You had your precious lips around it. That’s what matters.

And that’s the sorta sentence that makes Buck think I shouldn’t write letters.

But what he can’t accuse me of is being dishonest or vague. I’m being straight with you. You deserve that much, you were lovely and very straight shootin’ yourself, dear little girl. I could pinch your cheeks right now, you’re so sweet. And don’t think me a coward for sayin’ all this under assumption that you won’t read it. I hope you don’t since it’s not worth your time and if you do I wish I’d written less about me and more about you but I need you to know if we were face to face I’d say the same:

You were lovely, you ARE lovely!!!! and I think all your work for us boys is swell and you’ve got the bestest set of knockers any of us have ever seen and I’m stayin’ alive in hopes to see ‘em again some day and while the girls here are swell and sweet they aren’t zippy like you. At least not the ones who’ve put out so far. And if I had you face to face, I’d find a way to make you laugh again and I’d tell you to your face you’re lovely and if I’d been David Nivin in Love Trap with you, I’d have stayed in that little kitchen with you and ate all your burnt flapjacks and watched you in your apron and made babies with you till we were old.

Anyway. It needed saying. And maybe I’ll say it to your face given the chance again. I was working my way up to a proposition for burgers and milkshakes when Buck ruined it. But maybe you’ll tour? Here!! Over here. In England or maybe in Europe once we kick the Nazis bastards out.

Now that’s motivation. That’s a reason! -clear out a nice little swath of land through fortress europe so Miss Lana Tierney can sing in the city of lights surrounded by nothin’ but wine and good food and a buncha boys who love and appreciate her.

Because we do, ma’am. We do.

And make no mistake, I do this to keep the country safe and try to bring as many boys home as I can but every second I also think - it’s where you are too, and so I must continue keeping it safe.

If you, by some godawful chance, do read this letter, please don’t feel pressed to respond or pull out a restraining order. Think of it this way, it’d just be one more “Dear John” letter and the system is clogged as it is. You just deserve a nice letter and my wrist is past sore, one more doesn't matter. And being unable to deliver nice, I’ve written this.

~ I am ever your respectful (and hammered) admirer, Maj. John Egan

P.S. if you do happen to read this I’m sorry. Buck told me not to do this but I just had to Acorn. You’re just too swell and I really have got to get myself to a theater before long, I miss your Angel face.

Masterlist

Thank you for reading! This was entirely out of my usual comfort zone but I’ve had fun writing it and I’m trying to tune my ear to pick up his voice, that’s been stretching. This series will have many letters in it but there will also be fic, so fear not. I’ve got some plans already figured out for this series but I do love a suggestion or ten so have at the inbox with what you’d like to see play out.

Hope you enjoyed, if you’d like to be tagged in future MOTA fics, drop a note below.

Hi there, it’s me again. I hope you’re doing well and that you’re having a good day/night. Since it’s pride month where I’m at, I was wondering how Rocky got into fighting for LGBTQ+ rights as well as women’s rights? Was he an avid supporter since he was a young adult or was it later in life? 

Also, I was wondering how Rocky’s shows would work? What’s his comedic style? And did he ever talk about his activism stories openly in his shows? 

And, as a last question for now, do you have any other miscellaneous older Rocky trivia that you would like to share? If for some reason you can’t answer these questions then I completely understand. You’re busy with a new job if I can recall and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Please make sure you leave time for resting as well if/when you can, burnout’s no joke. I adore your future Lackadaisy headcannons! 

Hello! New job has been taxing, but fun. In any case, I CAN answer the questions!

FIRST

As far as activism in this case goes, most of his started during his later life in the 70s and 80s - Rocky was never particularly public about his sentiments towards the queer community until then.

His sentiments were definitely aligned with the community - he didn't have to be convinced to accept them - but after Stonewall, he started to try and add more gays into stories he pitched, shows he wrote, etc. He wasn't necessarily groundbreaking in this regard - it's very 70s style stuff - but he did his best to keep them from being the punchline.

During the AIDS crisis, he was notable for visiting friends of his who were patients - of which there were remarkably many. he wasn't going into any marches at this point in time, being in his 70s, and he was mostly retired, but he did contribute some TV episodes about the crisis here and there.

HIS SHOW

Rocky went through a few different forms of entertainment - first, of course, was radio. He was brought on to run a comedy show, which was structured around parodies of other radio shows, comic adaptations of dramas, and show-within-a-show episodes which were explicitly about running the show. Think of him as this universe's Jack Benny.

He transitioned to Television in the early 50s, and he did well there! He was notable for his show's transition, which was one of very few radio-to-TV bids that actually...y'know. Worked.

But he was ALSO notable for a game show, Ivory Towers, which ran from '55 to '62 - a quiz show where a group of college professors would compete against random attendees to answer questions. After being pretty much the only quiz show NOT to be cooking the books after the big Quiz Show scandals, it started to run with the subtitle of 'The Cleanest Racket in Town'.

OTHER TRIVIA

Rocky actually got a lot of fanmail from girls. It made his wife rather jealous.

In the OLD AU, I shipped Rocky with an OC named Loretta - she has been written out of existence.

Rocky once entered a pie eating contest and won, and wore a giant fake pie slice on his head for the next show. He became so well known for it that he would enter that contest annually until he died.

Rocky almost recorded a comedy album about Christmas - it never got released or published.

are you intending to do transcripts of the season 4 & 5 episode commentaries? all good if not of course, but just wondering if you were looking for people to help with transcribing the audio or anything?

Hi friend!

We definitely are intending to do the transcripts for seasons 4 & 5. We actually have a handful of episodes from Season 4 transcribed, but in all honesty, I've been a bit overwhelmed with work and haven't gotten around to editing them yet.

We 1000% could use some more people to transcribe the audios! If anyone would like to volunteer, just send us your email address in an ask or a fanmail. (I think you have to have spaces around the dot com to make sure the message doesn't get eaten by the tumblr gremlins.) Once we have that, we’ll invite you to our Google Drive folder and our Slack group. We have set up Google Docs for all episodes, so once you join we’ll assign you an episode and you can jump right in and start transcribing.

There are 29 episodes left to transcribe, so if we could get a few people who could transcribe a few episodes each, we'd be able to work through them more quickly! We're ~8 years into this endeavor, which is kind of insane, so I would love to finish up the transcriptions for everyone. 😅

Thanks for sending in this ask! I was about to put out another call for transcribers, so the timing was perfect.

hey theo! i was rewatching the top 10 pro hero ranking ep. and i was thinking about hawks and his fan-base. he’s a lovable pro (unlike endeavor) so it makes sense for him to receive loads of fanmail everyday. he definitely keeps them stored somewhere in his agency (cuz he doesn’t like throwing them away), but i totally imagine him keeping his most favorite ones at home—just a little keepsake to help him push through. and then i was thinking of yan!hawks’ darling finding his fanmail and just feeling extremely angry over the fact that people will only ever see hawks as a true hero and not the evil kidnapper that he is.

i can totally see him weaponizing that mail too! he’d read each letter (or have darling read them out loud), emphasizing the parts that really highlight what a great hero he is. showing his darling that this is how people see him, and that it’d be so much easier for darling if they saw him, if they idolized him the same way his fans do.

Anon, you have the biggest brain.

He might even view it as a form of bonding. You can read fan mail together in the evening! Take turns reading letters, snuggle up on the couch, he'll make some warm cocoa or whatever you want. Hearing those words words of praise from fans come from your mouth is so nice... even if you're not saying them with the proper enthusiasm yet.

Deku being an famous online fanfiction writer and class 1A is a group of die hard fans

Izuku has been writing meta and fic almost since he first learned to write, by the time he reaches high school, he is well experienced and well known at the craft. His blog has thousands of followers were he dumps astute analysises and well crafted fics about heroes and hero society. If he drops off a bit after he enters high school, well his followers understand.

As he learns and grows at Yuuei, he gains a better understanding of his classmates and teachers and shows his love through writing. It starts off simple, quirk analysis of the public figures of yuuei, stories have OCs with gravity quirks, that talk with their hands, who have bad relations with their pro hero parents. He writes some of the first Eraserhead fanfiction and those in the know marvel at the thoughtful analysis and speculation on personality not knowing he gets to see the man up close and in person. The more popular certain students become, the more emboldened Izuku is to write about them.

Its Kaminari who first discovers the blog, a self proclaimed meme king and frequent social media user, he finds an author who has uncanny insight into Yuuei, most of the information isn’t sensitive but the author captures the feel and personality of students and pros so well. He comments on his official chargebolt blog about the accuracy and it explodes. Izuku nearly falls over dead when he logs on the next morning and sees his username plastered over fan sites, speculating onto his identity.

The students are on the lookout but they never look Midoriya’s way, he’s too cute, too shy; definitely not one to write a 40k fic detailing Endeavor’s failings as a hero and a person. Bakugou, had known Deku his whole damn life and is well aware of his online premise sits back for a change to watch the fireworks (its not like he’s jealous Deku’s blog is bigger than his own, he’s not invested in his theories like some kind of nerd). Pretty soon, all of the hero course is following the blog that just gets them. Izuku hastily backtracks and deletes anything compromising and the few pity posts he’d made late at night when his depression and anxiety were running high. He tries to stop before he gets caught but creativity always needs an outlet and he cannot resist.

They’re living in the dorms when it comes out. “You’re that blogger everyone talks about, ribbit,” Tsuyu says one night during a movie marathon. Izuku twitches so hard the popcorn in his lap falls to the ground. “the latest story talked about Ochako and I working with Ryuuku, it mentioned an application of my quirk you mentioned in training last week. I haven’t had the chance to use it in the field so it had to come from you.” Heights Alliance descends into chaos.

“You always write me as the comic relief,” Kaminari cries, “and that scathing review of my sports festival performance almost made me cry!”

“You hardly ever write about meeeeeeeee,” Hagakure whines, “what am I, invisible?”

“Midoriya this is a flagrant misuse of your position as a student of Yuuei and a breach of your classmates privacy and potentially their safety,” Iida lectures, “that said I do appreciated your heated defense of Tensei against Stain fans.”

“Oh! Oh! I know, you should do a villain Au with us!” Ashido claps. “Villain AUs are so popular these days, reverse us with the League and be sure to call me Alien Queen!”

Aizawa shuffles out of his room to see what the commotion is about and is unsurprised to find his problem child right in the middle of it all. Honestly, he’d warned the boy of the dangers of running a public blog. He was getting fanmail  sent to the school because of the brat overhyping his abilities. Izuku apologies and says he’ll stop but in the end, he never does.

Pro Hero Deku, one of the most beloved, popular heroes in the country, doesn’t have much of a social media presence beyond his official accounts. “I’m just too busy,” he says with an awkward little smile, “being a hero is a full time job.” But a certain blog started out of loneliness in middle school is still active, still producing new stories, new theories, new critiques and suggestions for the ever changing hero society. It’s his most closely guarded secret, second only to One For All, and one of the few bits of normality he has managed to keep in his chaotic new life. He says he’ll give it up one of these days but never finds himself able to. So if Deku uses a turn of phrase from a popular blog or notes something found in a popular text post, no one takes it too seriously. Because the one thing the public knows about Deku is that is a fan, just like us.

I said I’d make an list of fic recs for my boy All Might, so here's a few favorites, minus anything that already has loads of attention.

Mr. Yagi by coffee-dessert - A Reader-insert fic in which You are a new employee at All Might’s hero agency. There’s a bit of mystery going on in the background, but, thus far, the focus has been on the interaction between the Reader and All Might’s right-hand-man. Features Toshi being extremely cute.

No Such Thing As A Hopeless Case by OrigamiDragons - Toshinori infiltrates the League by accident - and they all love him. He patches them up after missions, lets Toga paint his nails, and babysits Tomura when Kurogiri needs to attend to business. Oscillates between fluff, drama, and crack.

Heroes for Eternity by ProPinkist - really, anything from this author, but this one is my personal favorite for the parallels it draws between All Might and the Iida brothers. All Might takes Tenya aside after Hosu, and Tenya doesn’t understand why he’s so empathetic to their situation until much later.

Bare A Smile by QuizzicalCrow - domestic Dadmight fluff, no further explanation needed.

When I’m Gone by KittyKittyBoBitty - breaking my “nothing with too much attention” rule because GODDAMN. Bring your tissue boxes. I read this once and I never want to read it again.

Stretch by ForgedObsidian - a moment with Shinsou and Toshi

Number One by Quirkless - Yagi has a chat with Endeavor concerning Shouto. Punching is involved.

Thank you by Thefishywitch - Toshinori returns to the agency and finds that the fanmail has piled up in his absence. Good character study.

Carbon Allotropes by Xanyxhi - cause I’m a sucker for extended science metaphors

To Make a Better Hero by Athenya - best Villain!AllMight AU around, no I don’t accept alternate opinions

Hindsight by TheBellweather - oneshot, time travel, Izuku needs cheering up from DadMight

Once more, With Feeling by supercrunch - the dimension-hopping oneshot you never knew you needed.

[an-honest-endeavor]

HEY ENDEAVOR! GUESS WHOS BACK!! (now with extra feeling like shit!!) - Kageno

Aw welcome back!! @kagenoakirp

[aconstantstateofbladerunner]

What are your headcanons for Izuku and All Might’s father-son, master-student dynamic, and how do Inko and Hisashi fit into that? The other students? I love the world you’ve crafted in Butterfly and am desperate for more of your ideas, as I wait patiently between chapters.

My dude you have come to the right place.

- As mentioned in a previous headcanon post, All Might heard the advice, “be the person you needed when you were their age,” and took it to heart.  He was also a quirkless kid without many friends or family, and what helped him was Nana’s casual praise.  Moments where she pulled him aside and explained to him in-depth how important he was were rare, instead favoring the technique of tossing “you’re a good kid,” and “I’m proud of you,” into everyday conversation.    All Might does that for Izuku for a while, but after their talk at the sports festival he realizes it’s not enough.  Izuku had been misinterpreting his casualness as dismissiveness, and that was not ok.  Now, during their little tea sessions (which are probably once/twice a week), Izuku rambles about his concerns and self doubts, and All Might do everything he can at the time to ease his boy’s worries, then help formulate a plan for how to tackle the problems.  Basically, it’s a much more collaborative effort.

- Eventually, Izuku gets comfortable enough to ask All Might’s advice on stuff not related to heroes or One for All.  It’s probably stomething super basic at first, like running a paper topic for another class by him.  It escalates from there.  Maybe he wants a second opinion on a gift for his mom.  Maybe somebody on a hero forum said something weird about Izuku, who’s not sure how to feel.  Maybe he gets into a disagreement with a classmate, and asks how best to resolve the conflict without jeopardizing a friendship.  

- One day, he confesses that someone, and he won’t say who, told him to kill himself back in middle school.  All Might would give quiet support and advice in the moment, maybe a shoulder to cry on, but as soon as Izuku leaves, he loses his shit.  Some sick punk could have ended his successor’s (his son’s) life before it even truly began.  He uses his crazy All Might money and Naomasa to dig for evidence as the what happened, and finds nothing of the sort.  Instead, he finds clearly biased reports how how much of a “distraction to other students” Izuku was.  In private, he uses his connections to eat Aldera Middle School alive.  In public, he makes a sizable donation to one of the last quirkless’ rights groups in Japan, and politely dares anyone to say anything about it.

- I also mentioned before that All Might kept a lot of old fanart and pulls out some of Izuku’s to tease him in private.  Well one time, Izuku snagged one back,  and All Might thinks he’s crossed a line.  But a week or so latter, Izuku come back with the old art, a crayon drawing of All Might and Izuku in his hero costume flying through the air together from when he was five, and a new one.  The same scene, rendered with Izuku’s current artistic experience.  He’s no master illustrator, but All Might still frames it.

- All Might has a bad habit of spoiling Izuku with stuff.  Free hero merch from some conference?  Give it to Izuku.  Books he’s read over and over?  Izuku might like them.  Cool old clothes that don’t fit anymore but are still in decent condition?  Izuku might grow into them.  The clothes are especially fun to give, because the fanboy extreme himself will probably recognize some fight All Might wore them in back in the day.  His face lights up while asks if it’s really okay to have it, and Toshinori’s heart melts.

- there’s a betting pool in class 1A as to when Izuku’s going to call All Might Dad.  Joke’s on them, because Izuku already did and Naomasa had to buy Gran Torino lunch.

- Todoroki still genuinely believes Izuku is All Might’s son.  After the I-Island mess, he asked Melissa about it, to which she jokingly replied that yes, she and Izuku were cousins.  He took it seriously, and now half the hero course and a couple teachers have considered the possibility.

- Speaking of Todoroki, besides Izuku and Bakugou, he’s the one that All Might dads at the most.  Izuku didn’t tell him about Endeavor, because 1) he doesn’t think it’s his story to tell and 2) letting the cat out of the bag might make things worse.  But he did let on that Todoroki wasn’t super happy at home, so All Might offers his support where he can.

- most of the students trust him with their problems, especially after they moved into the dorms.  Some kids are away from home for the first time, or don’t have the most stable situations in general.  All Might has become sort of the official class 1A life coach.

- Inko gradually softened to All Might, particularly after the cultural festival, believe it or not.  The school put up a recording, and she thought Izuku dancing in the footage was fake at first.  She couldn’t imagine her son doing something so outgoing and outside his comfort zone before going to U.A.  And All Might helped him get there.

- All Might probably told her about the suicide thing in private, believing she already knew.  He was shocked she didn’t.  After the initial shock and crying session, she became one of the greatest assets behind the scenes for the case against Izuku’s old middle school.  The school may have covered their negligence up, but she’s got nearly a decade of screenshots of parents talking shit about her and her son.  

*gonna creep into minor spoiler territory for Butterfly so be warned*

- much like Izuku, Hisashi was a huge hero fan from a young age.  Also like his son, he was told from an early age that his dream wasn’t feasible.  He’s an asthmatic with a fire breath quirk, it was never going to work.  Unlike his son, he  made his peace with it and moved on to a different career, while still being a fan.

- when izuku was diagnoses as quirkless, it was like his world came crashing down too.  Seeing his son, his baby, go though the almost the same thing as him was torture.  Luckily, he knew all the right things to say from experience.

- he’s away at his translator job in America most of the year.  His knowledge of local heroes makes him popular with international hero chasers who need a guide.

- He and Inko are still married, and they videochats all the time, and sends emails and letters to Izuku since he doesn’t want the calls at weird hours due to time zones to mess up his son’s sleep schedule.

- he used to make sporadic trips home throughout the year, but recently has only been able to make it back for New Years.  The last time he visited, Izuku told him he was training for UA’s hero course.  Hisashi took him aside, and explained that once he accepts himself for who he is, he’ll be happier.

- once he heard Izuku not only got into the hero course, but got a quirk too, he was over the moon.  Hisashi is the founder and president of the unofficial American branch of the Deku fan club.  He keeps up with all the UA action and watches all the videos they put out like any good fan, not to mention he’s doubled the amount of emails and letters (fanmail) he sends.  Maybe that’s why it feels like his son responds a lot slower.

- he knows that All Might teaches Izuku at UA, but has no idea the man has chosen his son as his successor.  If he did, he’d never shut up about it.  Heck, he already never shuts up about it.  Like son like father, once he starts rambling, it’s hard to stop.  At least Inko is a good sport about it in their calls.

- he was planning on flying back home and surprising Izuku at some point during the school year, but stuff kept coming up.

These posts are fun to make, please keep sending prompts!  Thanks again!

 ‘ Jeri ’ is the nickname of a nightclub owner. Her club is inspired by the ‘MANIAX’ gang and is devoted to Jerome Valeska and his way of thinking. A mix of canon & personal headcanons follows:

She is never seen without makeup. Her real name is unknown. She has, however, been finger-printed by the GCPD upon arrest. (( easter egg:  Her makeup colors & design bares resemblance to Harley Quinn ))

She has a lot of connections in the city and is ‘friend’ to a lot of assassins & drug dealers. Her club often attracts a portion of Gotham’s underground, however it is most often crowded by the part of Jerome’s followers that do not actively indulge in criminal behavior with him.

Cops have raided her club a couple of times while Jerome was on the loose in search of him. It was to no avail.

She’s a good singer & often leads the show at her club.

Her nightclub doubles as a brothel & illegal trading grounds.

Although wise enough to keep a reasonable distance, Jeri is loyal to Jerome. Her nightclub earnings are used to fund his cult’s endeavors.

Jerome sometimes uses her space to spend the night but never as a base of operations.

She’s one among the many who send him anonymous care packages in Arkham, as well as letters containing valuable information & updates on the city affairs that are disguised as ‘fanmail’.

  Despite her past offenses, Jeri hasn’t officially been convicted for anything major, thus she’s in the clear as long as her connections to Jerome stay hidden. Thus, the two won’t be seen around each other often & Jeri keeps a low profile when it comes to her involvement.

Their interpersonal relationship is unclear.

Jeri might be referenced in threads & asks & occasionally open for interactions ( a notice will be posted in that case ) as well as participate on blog events.

The End*

Folks, if you’re reading this, you’ve reached the end of our queue of drafted content. The long and short of it is that Offbeat Classes and Tabletop Gaming has reached the end of its tenure on tumblr. 

A few quick housekeeping notes before we wrap things proper:

Submissions: Our inbox will stay open for anyone who may want to submit fan-written snippets, sourcebooks, fanart, or other content as their spirit moves them. As always, the askbox and fanmail remain closed to new requests, but we’ll happily curate and post any submitted content.

Twitterbot: If you’re sad that you won’t be getting your daily fix of Offbeat content, you may be happy to learn about a side project that a couple of us have been tinkering with! Over the past couple of weeks as these queued posts have gone out, Caro and Schazer have been working on creating a Twitterbot that outputs randomly-generated content what matches the vein of this here blog! You can find and follow the project over on Twitter at @OffbeatRPG.

This bot is one hundred percent automated, so it won’t have the same handcrafted puns and wordplay that our snippets have, but if you’re looking for some randomly-generated content to scratch that worldbuilding itch, you’re welcome to follow along.

Credits and Thanks: Lastly, we just wanted to post a few plugs and credits to let you all know who we are. Consider this our pulling-open-the-curtain on the minds behind this project:

And lastly, we want to thank all of you for supporting this wacky creative endeavor off and on for the past several years! It’s been a pleasure working on this project, and from the bottom of our hearts we hope that you’ve enjoyed watching it as much as we’ve enjoyed working on it.

Thanks for everything, and keep on rollin’,

Rock’n’Royal!AU Brainstorm 1: Roles

Alrighty so I still don’t quite have a name for the band but meh, I guess we’ll figure it out as we go! Wanna talk about some of the characters anyhow. C:

----------------------------

The Band: Goes by the name of Rock’n’Royal, I decided that the band that Twi leads is almost entirely indie, in which they don’t have a record label or anything of the sort and make their own way through the industry. Since starting, the band has reached a staggering amount of success and has been approached several times with the offer of a label, but those offers are ultimately turned down in favor of doing things their way. The genre of music they play is generally classified as “rock” or perhaps “alternative rock”, but the band is too experimental and collaborative for it to be stuck in one specific niche.

----------------------------

Twilight Sparkle: The cute dork who somehow managed to elevate herself into rock stardom, Twilight is the lead singer, guitarist, and what’s essentially the manager of the band. Twilight in this AU is far more confident in her abilities, sometimes to the point of being borderline cocky, but when she isn’t on stage she’s still the same bookworm who gets flustered at some of the sweetest gestures and will gladly talk your ear off about the newest scientific discovery: the fans eat it all up. She’s known as “The Princess” or “Your Highness” to her fans; not something she came up with, but she goes along with it.

Trixie Lulamoon: The loudmouth of the group and every bit the showoff, Trixie plays the keytar and is the secondary vocalist. She’s also the primary lyricist of the band: Twilight can sing and can write the general tune of the song, but when it comes to lyrics she’s... pretty bad. Given her talent for talking up hype, Trixie’s often in charge of promoting the band however she can, whether that be blogging about their tours or making posters or bragging: the band has skill, but if it weren’t for Trixie’s constant promoting and networking they wouldn’t be as well known as they currently are. Twi might be the leader, but Trixie’s often the one who is in the limelight and in front of cameras as the voice of the band (Twi’s still a bit camera shy). She’s referred to as “The Great and Powerful” by their fans. Yes, she is definitely the source of it.

Big Macintosh: The big, big, big boi of the group and the only stallion of the band, Big Mac provides his talents in the form of drumming. Sometimes the group does acapella, in which he provides the bass and even sometimes lead vocals. Mac rarely speaks and is known as the silent one of the group, but give him a pair of drum sticks and he’ll go wild. Like his sister, he can play one hell of a banjo. He’s often referred to as “The Gentle Knight” of the band: looming, silent, protective presence, there’s no real need for a bodyguard with him around.

Fluttershy: The newest member of the band, Fluttershy brings to the group her talent with the bass guitar, violin, and piano. Fluttershy’s known Twilight for most of her life and her inclusion into the band started when Twi asked Shy to play the violin for one of their tracks. The song went viral and, when it came time to feature it in a concert, Twi asked Fluttershy if she’d be willing to be the one to play her own part: it wouldn’t be the same if they got some random player to do it. She agreed, and despite her nervousness of being on stage, once she got to playing all of it momentarily disappears. The crowd ate it up and kept asking about the “quiet little fae” playing the violin, and it eventually escalated to Fluttershy becoming a part of the band officially. Nervousness aside, Shy does like the attention she gets but in small doses, so while she’s willing to play on stage she often opts out of interviews or, when she does go, she’s seen clinging to one of her bandmates (most often Twilight or Big Mac). She’s known to the fans as “The Fae” or “The Maiden”.

Applejack: Despite being best buds with Twi and the sister of Big Mac, AJ isn’t actually a part of the band. Well... at least officially. She often acts as the band’s tour-bus driver and, when Twi freaks out a bit, the band manager. She’s the one who helps keep everyone in line and focused on the task at hand, so I guess that makes her more of the manager than it does Twily (who mostly focuses on scheduling and making sure they make appointments on time). She may not be an official member but she has played with the band some, able to take up bass and one hell of a banjo and even vocals. As far as the fans are concerned, she’s as much a part of the band’s official lineup as anyone else. Known for her sincerity and honesty, she’s sometimes called “The Honest Knight” or the “Noble Mare”. There’s also, of course, “Country Beef”, of which both Apple siblings are referred to as. The fans love them some muscular Apple farmers.

Spike: Young roadie of the band and near constant companion to Twilight, Spike helps set up and tear down the equipment for the band’s shows and to keep the band on schedule. He’s resourceful and reliable and takes after Twi’s need to keep everything on schedule, but unlike Twi he’s able to roll with the punches more and, if something does go off schedule, figure out a way to remain on task on the fly. Spike also handles the mail the group gets, ranging from fanmail to inquiries to bills, so on. I’m also considering making him the band’s merch artist: I can see Spike being talented at art for his age and they allowed him to design some of their merch. Spikey works more behind the scenes but he gets his fair share of attention; Twi isn’t afraid to brag about him.

Rarity: Upcoming fashionista fresh out of college, Rarity’s the mare who has the skill and dedication to make it, now she just needs the chance. She runs her own online boutique that has been fairly successful, but she wants to aim higher, to work in the fashion industry and hopefully alongside some of her idols. When she lands an interview with one of the biggest name-brand boutiques in Equestria, she hits a creative block that lasts for weeks and leaves her stressed and nearly pulling her mane out. Rainbow brings her to a concert that helps her out of that block, but when the interview ends badly thanks to some stuffy stuck up unwilling to give her a chance, she finds her start in a way she didn’t anticipate: she becomes Twi’s band’s costume designer for their upcoming tour.

Rainbow Dash: An aspiring athlete pursuing a career in professional sports (and to join her dream team, The Wonderbolts), Dash is Rarity’s roommate and best friend since childhood. She works at a weather factory to make ends meet but trains and practices as often as she can to keep in tip-top shape in hopes of scoring a place on the Wonderbolt’s armature team the next coming annual tryout session. She also has a surprisingly entrenched grasp on painting, so much so that she has a decent online following for her work and even offers commissions as a sort of side-hustle for some extra cash. RD is supportive of Rarity’s endeavors into her career (and vice versa) and often acts as a creative buff for Rarity, helping her out when the stress gets to be too much. Her latest success of pulling Rarebear out of a funk is bringing her to her favorite indie band, but she didn’t exactly expect it to go the way it did! That’s alright though: that just equates to a road trip, so of course she tags along.

Pinkie Pie: Works at the bakery Rarity and Rainbow frequent, Pinkie’s as sweet and as excitable as she always has been. She’s known the pair for about 4 years now, providing cupcakes and coffee all throughout college, and they’ve been good friends ever since with the bakery being the unofficial “hangout spot” for them. When Rarity snags the job as the band’s costume designer and asks if Rainbow and Pinkie want to come, Pinkie is almost forced to go by Donut Joe; of the four years she’s worked for him, not once has she taken any vacation days and it’s about time she takes some time away from work. I’m thinking in this AU Pinkie might be a bit of a workaholic, if only because she might be one of the main sources of income for her family ever since her father fell ill. This is subject to change but we’ll see.

---------------------------

Celestia: A retired music icon who has taken up politics and opened up her own school, Celestia was once known (and still is) as the Queen of Rock. Celestia’s school is well known for their stellar Magi-science program and their arts program (including music), and while she no longer personally teaches there she still does visit the school often and offers workshops and mentoring. She is one of the sources of Twilight’s desire to become a rockstar, the others being Shining Armor (who had his own indie band before ultimately disbanding for the military) and Luna. She doesn’t have any official say in what the band does, but she is a source of advice and wisdom who’s willing to offer a tip or two to help the band succeed.

Luna: Retired music icon who’s settled more into the musical world than Celestia has, Luna was once (and still is) hailed as one of the best drummers in Equestria. She and Celestia were a trio-band with Discord back in their hay-day, with Celly as the vocalist and guitarist, Luna as the drummer and songwriter,  and Discord as bass guitarist. While both have ultimately stepped away from the limelight, Luna found her own calling in being a professional songwriter and lyricist. Like Celestia, Luna holds workshops and mentorship programs at Celly’s school. Whereas Twilight became Celestia’s star pupil, Trixie became Luna’s, and the two’s friendship and eventual collaboration into a band was born out of a friendly rivalry from it.

Discord: Retired music icon who has found his calling in musical management, Discord was once part of Celly and Lulu’s band (called LCD). He was primarily the bass guitarist but he’s well-known for being able to play almost any instrument in existence. No one really knows how he managed that, but there ya go: due to his talent he’s often hailed as the “Lord of music”. When the band ultimately disbanded in favor of retirement and pursuing their own careers in other areas, Discord remained interested in having some part in a band and, surprisingly, became a professional band manager and head of his own record label company. Given how spontaneous and chaotic he is, one would think this wouldn’t really work in the music industry... but to everyone’s surprise, it has. He isn’t quite mentor material like Luna and Celestia, but his own methods of teaching and guiding seem to have an overall positive effect, even if sometimes there’s controversy when he’s near.

------------------------------------------------

Apple Bloom: The youngest member of the esteemed Apple family, AB is just as enthusiastic about music as she is apple bucking. More over, she’s far more interested in how the technology of music works than actually playing it, though she has quite the soft spot for the banjo and its simplicity (thanks to her older siblings). Apple Bloom often is made to stay home with Granny Smith when her older sibs strike out on tour, but this time she really, really wants to go. And by george she’s gonna make it happen!

Sweetie Belle: The young sister of Rarity with an affinity for music, Sweetie Belle swears that one day she’ll be a rockstar. She got hooked onto this notion after seeing a Rock’n’Royal concert on TV, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away from the lead singer as she shred on the guitar, or the very pretty blue mare playing some sort of piano-like guitar and flipping her mane like it was an art. And in that moment, Sweetie knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up. In this AU I’m thinking Rarity’s parents are a bit more... neglectful, than they actually are in canon (or in my headcanon), so Sweetie lives with Rarity. That means wherever Rarebear goes, Sweetie goes, and because of it she’ll soon get to meet a couple of kids who’ll become her bestest friends.

Scootaloo: Young little spitfire who’s actually related to Rainbow Dash in this AU: they’re cousins! Scootaloo looks up to big cuz’ RD and mimics just about anything she does, and that includes listening to the music she’s into. Scoots is admittedly not that big of a fan of Rock’n’Royal, if only because their music isn’t exactly “punk” enough for her, but she likes their music well enough and she has to admit, they all look super cool. And hey, RD likes them a lot, so clearly there has to be something great about them, yeah? Fan or nah, she’ll get a surprise of her life when Rainbow Dash invites little cuzo on a long road-trip with her and her friends.... with the freakin’ band themselves. And of course she’s gonna go... if her moms say yes, of course.
