Imagine, if you will. A universe in which Adrien finds out about Monarch's towards the end of Season 5.

As in - instead of or in addition to the "move to London" plotline, Adrien is sitting on the secret that he knows his father is Monarch. They could have kept up their will-they-won't-they about he Sentimonster thing - is Adrien staying quiet because his father ordered him to? Or because he's seen the man's injury, knows that he's dying, and also knows that Marinette is in danger if he spills anything.

It doesn't even have to happen early. Just early enough that, once he's in his sensory deprivation cell, he knows that him transforming would leak his identity to Monarch himself. So he sends Plagg away to give the ring and the message to someone else, and we can still get the writers' precious Bug Noire.

(In fact, I think he should also find out about the Sentimonster thing at that point, because that means that as soon as Gabriel knows that Adrien is Chat Noir, he also has control over him. It means Adrien knows what he's fighting for, and it makes the gesture of giving up the ring so much more meaningful. Heavens, does he even know there's a battle when he does it in canon? No, it's just because he's afraid of akumatization.)

(and on THAT note clearly he should have been told about Chat Blanc because why else did his worse nightmare change from being controlled to being out of control?) (yeah yeah Destruction but. bleh.)

I know I know they didn't want to give too many important scenes to Adrien but they point is. This could have shifted the focus back to Marinette in a COOL way instead of a baffling way. He's the princess! She's the knight! Nobody would think the Knight was all that cool when she kills the dragon while the princess is saying oh he's not so bad... he just wants to play.... he don't bite....... and then the knight says oh you're right of course he wasn't evil he just had to. Go. Live on a nice farm. Anyway why don't we get out of this tower maybe

actually first ep of Voyager where Janeway talks to Tuvok about how his family misses him is that when she says they Worry about him Tuvok contradicts her and claims that Vulcans don't do that but when she corrects and says they Miss him he accepts this and admits he misses them too; implying perhaps a pedantic difference between 'Vulcans do not Feel Emotions' (false) and 'Vulcans do not Act Out of Emotion' (accurate) -> 'Miss/Longing' is an emotion, but 'Worry' is an action one does out of emotion -> one Vulcans do; one Vulcans do not.

Kataang is such a beautiful ship, and it’s because Aang teaches Katara how to be a kid!!! So many people want to put Katara in a sexy adult relationship with a boy older than her, but that’s not what she needs!! She’s 14 years old and emotionally stunted from the trauma of growing up in a war zone, she’s never had the chance to be a silly and immature child! She’s had to grow up too fast and play the part of the responsible mother figure in constantly stressful circumstances and that’s not good or healthy! And I don’t have any firsthand knowledge of this, but I’ve heard it said that brown girls are perceived to be much more mature than they are and are rarely treated like the age they are, and I have a strong suspicion that the fandom is treating Katara this way! Aang, on the other hand, is a sweet optimistic boy with a young soul and a playful nature! He coaxes Katara out of her circumstantially-imposed role of mother and caregiver and teaches her to let go of her fear and anger and just be a kid and it’s so beautiful!!! They have a cute, blushy, awkward, middle-school romance together and that’s what Katara deserves!!!!!

I can think of one time Aang "helped" her be a kid, and it was while she was still at home and surrounded by actual adults who knew and loved her. Aside from that, Aang was a responsibility, and at times a burden, let's be real honest.

Katara was also a teenage girl.. You know who allowed her to actually be a teenage girl? Zuko. He was a friend, confidant, and helped to lighten to load instead of add to it. Frankly, I think Katara deserves an equal partner who will meet her where she's at, and take up his fair share of the labor, both physical and emotional. What she got was the responsibility of raising the man who would eventually abandon two of her children, while periodically forcing her to put herself in harm's way because mastering the Avatar State wasn't a priority for him, and it was easier to have Katara "pull him out" of his super powered tantrums.

If you like Kataang, I love that for you, but that doesn't change the fact that canonically, Katara is constantly giving to Aang and he is constantly taking. But hey, we all have our problematic faves.

Second installment of 'he's a dad ;w;' Taurus edition:

I just really love Kamui and I think it's bullshit that we don't get to bond with him more, especially considering all the implied shit that's yet to come??? Absolute bullshit ;0;

I think the thing of Cho experimenting on Ben should become a short fic

Now that would be a fic. I'd love to read a one-shot that explores all of Ben's deep-set trauma and healing from it as he learns about himself and any side-effects of being a snythezoid. Cho can be a little brash sometimes (and childish as he is still a kid) but I think once he understand just how serious this is to Ben, he'd be very careful about it.

It'd be a nice character study of Cho too and the relationship between him and Ben--which is such an unlikely duo as we rarely see them interacting in the show.

dropping everything to look up zodiac compatibilities. for fictional characters. for fanfiction purposes.

Tobias (a guy whose n.1 enemy is perpetual boredom and apathy and who has a troubling void in his chest) favoring feisty people who are passionate, expressive and determined in everything they do... Elijah (a guy with no real sense of self) favoring people who go out of their way to highlight themselves as unique... okay guys we get it, you're charmed by those who are what you aren't but would (subconsciously) like to be!

What if I made the relationship between Flo and their creator like a father-child relationship but like. A bit fucked up (I already planned to).

When getting married, Kae's ideal wedding fit is something that heavily blurs his gender presentation. Is it a suit? A dress??? Is he the bride?? Groom??? Who knows? Definitely not anybody getting a good look at him-

[irregularbillcipher]

going over old fic notes and outlines and character talks with friends and it's always really funny when i get to the stuff i was developing early-mid 2019 where bill just literally kept kryptos around to rag on, and he genuinely just. did not like the man. like was just completely annoyed with his general existence. boy have things changed

i got exactly one (1) like on that post with tags about Andrew And Neil having A Moment during Taxi (a song by The Maine) so here's a small snippet of the fic i'm working on where that appears !

Taxi - The Maine

( I recommend that you to the song for the Full Effect, but its obviously not required)

What is this fic about? Basically it's the most self-indulgent thing i could possibly write: the foxes go to a music festival, Neil sees a set from a band called The Maine and becomes a Fan. He learns why people like live music so much, learns to let go and have fun at shows, and has Many Emo Moments while listening to their music. Basically, if you wanna read a fic about Neil experiencing some emotional healing while listening to music from a band that you don't know, this is the fic for you!!

*note: i haven't written any kind of published fic so please be kind to me !! this is completely unedited and is straight from google docs so it might be pretty rough.*

I wanna stress that being possessed isn't instantly murder murder stabby time. it isn't necessarily a bad thing? in the right situations, it can be a therapeutic tool used to help ghosts come to terms with their passing and get to have a few more moments of living. it has negative side effects, especially if you fight it or do it very very often like Edgar does, but it isn't an all out bad thing. the bad part comes when a hostile ghost (like Jack would be) decides that they're going to try and overpower the person being possessed to use their body with malicious intent

mused on some thesis about how billions uses Indignity to illustrate that something someone does has failed / gone wrong in one way or another, and how the way this punishment is an Emotional one means that it can't land if the character just doesn't Feel that punished by it, or at least doesn't like attribute the supposed failure to something inherent enough to them to particularly stew on it, see for example people heightening/escalating their efforts to embarass someone if even that person doesn't Seem to sufficiently externally react in embarassment. winston able to truck along while (a) consciously crafting or maintaining some persona, of eternal and irrefutable dignity or whatever else is associated with "merit"/status, isn't much of a priority, when to him his skills speak for themself even though to others this is about their own merit in recognizing independently if winston's skills Happen to have use, and putting him down if he tries to speak to that anyways, and (b) he's also just able to move along from L's handed to him, whether he thinks it was warranted (like that he'll accept it doesn't count if he only thought it but didn't say it) or not (why can't you count to loyalty), when even if this resilience To How Others Treat Him isn't exactly peak realistic, that he thinks of himself in such a way that he doesn't need to be striving for some paramount official status, or think he's defined by never failing or indeed never possibly able to be seen within a "wow undignified / embarassing" framework so long as this winningness is recognized, or so long as anything is anything, is sure feasible enough.

but anyways thought about it like this thesis is just "i am cringe but i am free" like yeah that works
