[emperorsfoot]

okay, ya know how every company on the planet has a paid position that's literally just posting on the companies various social media pages

ya know how ever Conner Luthor AU kinda struggles to find a way to fit Kon into Lex's public-facing company?

well, Conner Luthor is Lex Corp (and maybe even just Lex's) social media coordinator. Boom. problem solved.

also, the premise for a hilarious fic

do with this what you will

Mighty Nein PacRim au bc it's been 10 years since the movie hit the market and we've been sleeping on good PacRim aus utilizing the terrifying ordeal of being known and punching giant monsters through giant robots with the power of love.

Here's my stab at roles, off the cuff. The intention is to spread characters out bc if you make everyone Jaeger pilots it can be hard to have unique storylines happening cause they'd all be too similar, and by expanding on the roles you get a more 3D view of The World:

Caleb: by default all wizards are scientists. He was originally trained for espionage between countries, left the program, but came back to work in LOCCENT. Yes he's trained to be a killer in canon, but specifically he's an assassin and those aren't big brawlers. He's best utilized for his brain and making the hard calls.

Beau: young jeager pilot fresh out of or pulled early out of the training program. At the start of the story she's a nightmare bc while she has amazing solo stats she's unable to drift with anyone. (She and Fjord later become a lethal combination to anything that gets in their way)

Jester: she didn't go through jeager jockey school and actually came to the program as a civilian reporter/influencer wanting to interview jeager pilots. The point being that she has no formal jeager jockey training so she's very unpredictable. She ran a few compatibility trials during her interviews, and turns out she could form a link with basically anyone.

Veth: Secret backstory is that she was a high stats solo jockey in her training years, but was never drift compatible with anyone and left the program when she met her husband (a scientist). Was separated from husband and son during a Kaiju attack and was asked to step back into a jeager as there are so few pilots left.

Fjord: worked as part of the Tides Breath (a jeager) support crew, after failing out of the jockey training program for being mediocre. When Vandran and Avantika (the pilots) went AWOL, as someone with at least some training, both he and Sabian were thrown into the Tides Breath as a desperate "no other choice" pick. They got the kill and the jeager was destroyed in the fight. Both pilots were presumed dead until Fjord solo'd the remains of the jeager to shore. He doesn't remember any of it, but now everyone treats him like he's some sort of Big Hero and he's afraid of letting everyone know he's a mediocre sham.

Caduceus: biologist studying Kaiju. This is basically a given. He, Veth and Caleb spend a lot of time together.

Yasha: jeager pilot. Has a reputation of losing drift partners (and everyone assumes she doesn't care). Doesn't want to drift with anyone ever again, but also feels like giving up fighting means letting down all of the people she's lost. Maybe worked in the black market for a while??

Molly: might be one of the first pilots who could drift with Beau. Dies while deployed with her? Or was the last partner that Yasha lost? Undecided abt him tbh. His importance as a character to the (original) narrative is dying to be the catalyst for the Mighty Nein to aggressively trauma bond, so I'd aim for that in this au or, bc the Mighty Nein in this au would be bonded through a battle, I might even style a Kaiju after him haha.

They all meet/end up in a similar place a la similar events to the first PacRim movie: there aren't any other pilots or jeagers left and the attacks are only getting more frequent etc etc.

From this we can have any combo of drifting jeager pilots of: Beau, Jester, Yasha, Veth and Fjord.

If following first movie events; Veth, Caleb and/or Caduceus could attempt a drift (possibly together) with a Kaiju for information. There's a potential storyline tying Uk'otoa as a kaiju or a precursor, meaning we'd have Fjord drift with a kaiju at some point, and then have some, well, lingering issues as a result...

This doesn't rule out other drift combinations (Veth&Caleb, Fjord&Caduceus, etc), we'd just have to be creative with Reasons for why they'd use them :)

Danny's Not OP

So, there's a lot of fics about Danny being super OP compared to heroes in the DCU and the heroes are kind of overwhelmed about it. But what if that's not the case?

The Justice League deals with Kryptonians, and Martians, and Tamaranians, and other aliens with crazy powersets, not to mention magic users and gods. Highly varied powersets might not be the norm, but it's not unheard of.

So what if Danny, from a universe with no other superheroes, goes to the DCU. Maybe he tries to pretend he's less powerful than he is, or he gets in trouble and thinks it'll be easy to slip away. And instead of being caught off-guard by how powerful he is, the DC heroes just take it in stride. It's no big deal. Yeah, he can turn invisible and pass through things. So can Martians. Kryptonians have frost breath. Starfire has hand beams that are a lot like ectoblasts. Danny's not any more powerful than they are.

How would Danny react? Would he be relieved that he was among people with similar powers, or weirded out by it?

soulslike where an extremely difficult boss drops a powerful piece of equipment once defeated. and where that boss is also respawning on death, just like you, and his mission is now to hunt you down and get the damn thing back.

he can't fast-travel, but for the rest of the game or until you lose the equipment, he knows where you are and is chasing you across the world on foot in real time, attacking you if you cross his path or stay in one place for too long. he'll jump-attack you in the middle of tricky platforming challenges. he'll drop in on other boss fights. sometimes he'll get killed by the same enemies you're fighting, and every time he'll respawn halfway across the map and have to run all the way back.

if he kills you, you lose the equipment. you can get it back by hunting him down and killing him again. this will make him extremely mad.

i neeeeed wedding planner buck. unlucky in love but will give you the most specialest special day of your life.

meets best man tommy, and chimney han saved his life once, so as far as he's concerned, this is the most important job he has ever had. he comes to every meeting Prepared with Notes.

the groom is super easy going, and the bride seems... uhh, kind of disinterested. buck suspects this might be an arranged marriage or something? because something is Off.

it's months and months of meetings and planning. they disagree on everything. they bicker. chimney has to mediate on more than one occasion.

buck's sister works there part time, and she handles the bride's wedding dress shopping (as well as bridesmaids if necessary), the one thing the groom and his best man cannot get involved in. so buck and tommy and chimney go to do their own shopping separately from maddie and tatiana.

(at the end of that week maddie and buck get together and Gossip about the couple, like, what's Going On!!! something is Wrong.. these two should not be getting married? but it's none of our business... but they should not be getting married?)

and buck tells her how tommy pissed him off and made him look bad in front of the tailor that buck has a good relationship with and says something about why are the hottest people also the most annoying and maddie just goes “oh. he's made for you, then.” because she's hilarious

day of the wedding bride is nowhere to be found. chimney is devastated. buck is freaking out because he's never had this happen before! all of his events have been a success! and tommy is like. So Done With Him. drags him to a private room and chews him out like can you not be such a self centred asshole for one fucking minute. and buck is so embarrassed he has no comeback to that.

maddie in the meantime has deployed eddie and hen to do crowd control and she sits with chimney and tries to console him and tells him that her first marriage was a total disaster too and sometimes it takes some time until you find the right person. and chimney is just so fucking pissed off because he spent all of his savings on this wedding and for what? what a waste?! and maddie says. we could still have a party. why let it go to waste. and they have the celebration and dance together.

and then tommy finds buck and says “looks like another successful event, mr buckley.” and buck rolls his eyes like you don't have to humour me. but im sorry for acting like a self centred asshole. and then tommy just smiles at him and asks him if he's free next saturday and buck just. purses his lips. debates turning him down. then says yes i'm free. and then they sneak off and find a private place to makeout.

and maddie and chimney keep in touch mostly via texts and calls, and a year later they reconnect at the "surprise! we eloped in vegas!" party buck and tommy throw and they dance together again and then sneak off to find a private place to makeout.

the end ~

Au in which kabru is this super celebrity. Probably an unusual sort, like a short-lived races rights activist that started out as a model but then people started getting into his politics podcast. He started out as extremely online but by now he has been like... interviewed by the dunmeshi equivalent of conan O'brien. He's a household name people on the street recognise him.

One time it's like 3am and he goes to get a real dinner after this unending after party where they only served drinks and he's just so fucking tired of being himself you know? He just wishes he could be a fucking nobody for a bit.

Enter the waiter at this cafe. His name tag says Laios. He's blonde and 185cms tall. He gets Kabru's name wrong three times and stutters when Kabru calls him 'darling'. Kabru falls in love immediately.

Pole [@118dailydrabble day 10] [bucktommy | 118 words]

so @sugarpenchant sent me this post and said "there's a bucktommy au in this somewhere I'm sure of it" and then we got to chatting about post-breakup tommy deciding to straight up run to the ends of the earth to distance himself, and, well...

-

It starts as a joke, is the thing.

More accurately, it starts with Lucy dragging him to a cocktail bar, and Tommy moping into his third Sidecar (“Please tell me that's some sort of gay army euphemism”) while he contemplates, for the millionth time, calling Evan.

“So.” Lucy covers his phone with a menu. “Holiday plans?”

“Does researching 'most remote places on earth to wallow' count?”

She sips her Old Fashioned thoughtfully. “Well, if you really wanna get out of cell range, my buddy says they always need pilots in Antarctica.”

It's a joke. No one spontaneously decides to spend the holidays at the South pole.

Two weeks later, his paperwork is filed and he's on his way.

A twist on the 1589 meeting, but what if Hob had acted fast when he spotted Dream’s interest in Shaxberd and instead of just getting jealous, he’d invited Will and Marlowe to their table as well?

Shaxberd is only barely getting started as a playwright. Hob and Marlowe seem acquainted. They might well have accepted the invitation to all dine together. It would be a natural thing to do at a tavern after all.

Because now I’m imagining the look on Dream’s face when this starving playwright he’s trying to cruise lights up at the prospect of the banquet laid out in front of Hob thus robbing Dream of his convenient escape. And from Shaxberd’s point of view, this is Hob’s guest, right? Hob is clearly a man of some importance and it would be rude to drag his guest away to talk business. Especially if it means a free meal of such quality.

So anyway, this is how Dream got stuck at a four hour long dinner with Hob, Kit Marlowe, and Will Shaxberd over some rather excellent mortal food and a much better time than he ever expected to have and frankly being more than a little pissed off about it and how Death might have been right that hanging out with humans can be fun.

It’s also the story about how Hob got 10x more answers than he ever got before out of his stranger by dint of the longer time together and how awkward it would be for Dream not to answer some of them with two other people present ruining the mystery of it all. It’s also how Hob figured out that Dream likes talking about art and so Hob was able to switch gears in time to actually have a conversation with Dream that didn’t make it look like Dream he would rather gouge his eyes out than listen to another word. Hob might not be the artistic sort but he’s not totally incapable of analyzing a play about a man making a supernatural bargain with the devil, and everyone at the table loved Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus.

And it’s the story of how Marlowe figured out in .2 seconds that an otherworldly creature was at the table with them and subtly helping out Hob direct his questions for best possible effect, and how both Marlowe and Shaxberd got a rich patron out of it.

For one reason or another, the JL is trying to get in contact with Danny. Maybe he is haunting their hq, maybe they've heard about a ghost hero. In any case they pull out all the stops and have a full on seance.

Danny has been watching with amusement for a while, and then they go to the ouija board. He guides their hands to a message.

I’ve got this fic idea in my head that won’t let me go. I don’t know if I have time to actually write it or not but I need to get it out into the universe. Edit: This took on a life of its own and somehow the spark notes is one of the longest things I’ve ever written. NSFW under the cut though only one part is really graphic. This apparently transformed mid write up from my desire to have Agatha and Rio bang their way down the Road, to my own fixit fic/Nicky resurrection. Anyway:

So picture it yeah? Everything is the same with the road right up until after Billy is injured. Agatha begs Rio not to take him and she’s like 🤷‍♀️. Except what if we diverged. Rio stops time, just for a second, and just for her and Agatha. She tells Agatha she’ll make her a deal, since the road is technically outside of time and space (and they’re both side eyeing each other trying to figure out if the other knows exactly why that is…). She will spare the boy (she was never going to take him in the first place, see the episode 8 revelations, but fuck if she’s telling Agatha that now.) but she gets Agatha in return. Biblically. And Agatha is like are you fucking serious right now???? But oh yes, Rio is dead (heh) serious. She wants to fuck Agatha and in return she’ll spare her little pet for now. And team, Agatha is not a strong woman where her ex wife is concerned. So she agrees.

Rio moves time forward, Billy is saved, rah rah, Rio and Agatha have their little fireside moment with the coven, Agatha flees into the night, Rio follows, they even have their little hug/almost kiss. Except now when Rio says “he’s not your boy,” Agatha just stares at her like she can’t figure out if Rio is an idiot or if she thinks Agatha is. Agatha’s like, “you don’t fucking say,” in the most deadpan voice you’ve ever heard. And, bless her, Rio is like kind of embarrassed and says something to the effect of, “I needed to make sure you knew, this isn’t…that.” And Agatha, now has to face the idea that the answer to her earlier question is that Rio is both an idiot and thinks she is as well. But she’s kind of sweet. Maybe. When she isn’t stealing her son in the dead of night. So Agatha very very slowly is like, “no dear, when you said there was absolutely no way to bring our dead son back, I, inexplicably, believed you.” And then they both blink at each other. Like idiots.

Agatha then goes to walk away like in our original timeline, but Rio grabs her by the arm and stops her. She’s like not so fast sweetheart, “I’m still owed a payment.” And then she kind of throws Agatha against a tree and is like, “I mean to collect.” Agatha is like, right now??? Here???? And Rio is like as long as you’re quiet they won’t suspect a thing. (This is a problem because neither one of them have ever once been quiet in bed. Only one of them cares.)

Insert absolute filth.

Then it keeps happening. Instead of losing the whole coven, every time one of them is about to die, Rio stops time and offers the same deal to Agatha. Except the closer the person is to death, the higher Agatha’s price is. (It’s a wonder she can walk after Alice.) She also counts absurd happenings as near death. Their flight from the Salem Seven counts as 5 different saves, even though Agatha is like, you just made a broom?!? (She still gives Rio her dues, because cmon, it’s Agatha. She just needs to bitch about it a little.) Also the acts keep getting more and more involved each time. Like the first time Rio just ate her out against the tree, but Alice’s near death had her bent over one of those tables in the cottage taking a magic cock, while Rio whispers filthy things in her ear and keeps her in place with those vines she used in the finale. (This is incidentally how they conceived Nicky, and if you don’t think The Green Witch 👹 has a thing about it, the whole growing of new life, I will meet you at the Denny’s and we can sort this out like adults.)

Agatha and CO’s mud bath still happens because even though Rio doesn’t let them die, she does remove the witches from the road. And that actually does take the weird amount of time we see in the show. Agatha doesn’t tell the kid any different because she kind of needs him to come into his own (she likes the kid alright) so he thinks she just killed his friend. And he’s never seen Agatha’s powers, not like that anyway, and doesn’t realize that Alice being missing should be a dead give away that something weird is afoot. Lilia and Jen don’t have a chance to wonder because, again, mud bath.

Things continue on, Lilia is a badass (👸), Rio offers Agatha the choice again, Agatha agrees because a) she kind of likes the idiots, and b) she has just been reacquainted with how incredible her wife is in bed. Rio has to do relatively little to save Lilia, mostly just stop her from hitting the ground when she flips the tower. She then safely takes them out the window, thus giving us the two figures on the card that everyone thought meant two of the 7 had escaped. She then returns to claim her prize.

I know what you’re thinking, how?? But they had time for that long ass conversation in the original. And they do still hash out the whole Billy thing, but Rio offers her the choice up front. Billy’s life, freely given, or Agatha must take his place. As Death’s wife and a previous holder of the Darkhold, Agatha’s soul is weighted more heavily in the Sacred Balance. She would be permitted to take the place of the Demiurge, especially given the circumstances in which he threw off the balance. (Wanda could also do it, if Rio were inclined to haul that mountain off her, but she’s already dealing with Agatha and Maximoff 2.0. Adding in Wanda would drive her to drink.) I think Agatha would be able to figure most of that out, even if she just assumes that Rio gets to decide how her soul is weighed. I’m mostly trying to make sense of why that trade would have been allowed in-universe in the first place.

Rio goes to leave like in the show, but Agatha stops her. She’s like I hate owing you anything, aren’t you going to collect your prize? And Rio is about to be like, fuck you, you just said you never want to see my face again, but Agatha looks so broken that Rio goes back to her, and takes her by the face and kisses her in the most devastatingly soft way she knows how. Then she whispers “Te veo,” one more time and exits.

The last trial happens, Billy finds Tommy and Frankenstein’s him into a new body, Jen is freed, Agatha uses the locket and the seed. (Except when the flower grows, Agatha feels something responding from her inside her, just the faintest traces of magic.)

The fight happens, Rio is unhinged because not only does Agatha not want her, now there’s a second abomination??? After she once again helped her ungrateful wife????? Agatha gets her powers back. She can feel something different, but she’s kind of busy. Billy tries to sacrifice himself, Agatha intervenes, they KISS kiss, (Agatha telepathically tells Rio if she’s going to kiss her goodbye, she expects her to put in some effort damn it.) but this time when Rio’s powers kick in a burst of green magic throws them apart. And then everyone is just kind of looking at each other. And then there’s a very soft, very familiar voice all around them saying, “Mami, that’s enough. They both kept their word. Two sacrifices for two boys. Seems fair to me.” And then the voice is addressing Billy much louder, “Billy Kaplan, as the Prince of the Dead, I grant you your life and that of your twin. So it is written and so it shall be. By the Divine Mother, go free.” And Agatha is on the ground sobbing, Rio is somehow both crying and spitting with rage, and Billy is just 🧍‍♂️. He’s like, am I actually- and Rio is just screaming GO!!!

Agatha is like Rio wtf? And Rio is like do I look like I know what’s happening??? And Nicky From Beyond is like, “stop fighting, I got special permission from grandma er I mean the Powers That Be. Billy is special and he’s gonna need Mama to train him before he accidentally rips a hole in space time. Er also I’ll be back with you in a few months and I really don’t want to do visitation. So uh clocks ticking. Bye.” At which point it becomes apparent that Agatha is kinda of definitely pregnant and Rio isn’t ever beating those baby daddy allegations.

And then the green storm disappears, and it’s just Agatha and Rio shell shocked in the back yard. They’re both just staring at each other, Rio is standing, Agatha is on her knees, neither one knows what to say. Finally Agatha is like, fix my sink. And Rio is like ??? Que??? And Agatha, still really quiet is like Fix. My. Fucking. Sink. And honestly she kind of looks like she one second away from strangling Rio to death, logistics be damned, so Rio fixes her sink. And her wall. And her door. And her garden. Ok maybe Rio is doing the witch equivalent of stress cleaning. Agatha is still in the yard. Her eye is twitching. She’s…processing.

Finally, finally she stands up, magics herself into fresh non witch clothes, and comes inside. “I would unpin the fabric of the universe if it meant getting Nicky back.” Rio goes to interrupt, but Agatha holds up a hand, “Loving you is the only other thing in the universe that makes me feel that way. I held more power than any witch before me, I mastered the Darkhold, I have absorbed whole covens, I have tasted pure chaos magic. And the whole of it together couldn’t compare to even the barest of your touches.” She comes closer, and gently takes Rio’s face. “Forgive me, I don’t deserve it, but I’m asking anyway. I never should have told you I didn’t want to see your face. It’s the face I fell in love with.” She wipes Rio’s tears as they fall. “I’m…” she closes her eyes and takes a breath, “I’m sorry Rio. For hiding, for running, for breaking your heart,” she pauses again, “for blaming you for your duty.”

And Lady Death yields one more time. “I hated you for hating me. For your cowardice. I had forgotten how radiantly courage shines on you. I love you, I would forgive you anything if it meant you would walk beside me again of your own free will.”

Agatha nods, “then let’s try again. For Nicky. For us.” A sad look crosses her face. “I understand why you took him, and I understand why you did it when you did, but understanding does not erase the pain. Can you give me time for that?” Rio flinches and starts to withdraw, but Agatha holds firm on her face, “I’m not leaving you, not again, I’m just asking for patience when I’m, well, me. You know how my sunny disposition waxes and wanes.” Rio gives a watery laugh and nods, leaning forward to seal the deal with a kiss.

Boy howdy that got away from me, and now it’s half stream of consciousness/half written fanfic. Like I said, idk if I’m going to have time to write it or if anyone would be interested in it. If you see anything you like feel free to yoink it. Also I have a long running headcannon that Death is like the eldest child of Life, and so when Nicky said he got permission from grandma that’s who he was talking about.

BuckTommy + a muse and his artist...

eddie munson imagine ✨🍒

We start with rockstar!Eddie Munson.

Corroded Coffin has just taken off; their debut album has reached number 1 in the charts, sold out shows across the country, massive break through.

To support the album, they're doing a press run, and now they're on the award show circuit. Enter the night in question, at an award show, where Eddie and Reader cross paths for the first time.

Maybe Eddie and Reader are aware of each other, but never had the opportunity to be in the same space at the same time? I like the idea that Eddie is very aware of Reader and her work, and has had a longtime crush on her, but because Corroded Coffin have only just made it big on the scene, he doesn't think she has any clue who he or the band are ~ this comes in to play later... Reader could be a fellow musician, actor, or someone in the entertainment industry, (dealers choice) it just has to be a career that would have her nominated for an award, and would have previously caught Eddie's attention growing up. (I'm imagining she's a film star for this specific scenario) Before the award show starts, everyone has to walk the red carpet, stopping for interviews and photo-ops, and this is where Eddie catches a glimpse of Reader for the first time that night; but because he's caught up with nerves and interviews, he talks himself out of approaching Reader to introduce himself. there will always be a chance to break away from the group at the afterparty, he reckons with himself. Red carpet formalities done, we enter the auditorium, and the show begins. The hosts make their way through each category, with some musical interludes, when we finally reach the category Reader is nominated for.

To no-one's surprise, she wins, graciously accepts her award, and makes her acceptance speech. She closes out with:

"shout out to, Donatella Versace for custom making this outfit for me; and shout out to, Eddie Munson, cause he's gunna be taking it off me tonight." locking eyes with Eddie, giving him a wink as she exits the stage. Eddie is so flustered; because despite him being apart of the biggest band in the country and having charisma out the wazoo, he's still that loveable dork from Hawkins, who was a virgin up until 12 months ago. (I don't know where I stand on the "is Eddie a Virgin" or not debate, because ofc we would all give it to him, but idk if his classmates would. I love him either way!). The Corroded Coffin boys would absolutely lose it, getting super hyped for their lead guitarist, and Eddie would be flattered, and bashful. I just love the thought that Eddie would be so taken aback by such a bold move, that he just folds.

Corroded Coffin would do a song towards the end of the show, Eddie playing with so much vigour; he's on a televised stage, going out to millions, and his crush, that he didn't realise knew he existed, just made a pass at him. dreams really do come true.

The show ends, and everyone makes their way to the afterparty, where Eddie and Reader finally get their moment to meet!

end

(this imagine is free to a good home if anyone wants to expand on it, I unfortunately am not a writer! please tag me if you do write this, or want to talk more about it <3) ~ yes this is inspired by Nicki Minaj's acceptance speech at the People's Choice Awards in 2018, don't look at me 🫣 ~
