#i'm in Hell

[taibhsearachd]

Very cool that in the US I have a problem with my ankle that's been ongoing for a year... on real bad days I can feel something in my foot grinding or clicking over something... and I gotta clear this with my insurance before I can get a test that will diagnose this problem I've been having for a year. Extra cool that I have to wait for the time of year when you're allowed to switch insurance providers, bc I want to negotiate with the new insurance providers vs the old ones about whether they should X-Ray my ankle that doesn't work.

I wanted to be a part of that. You were.

If you ever get embarrassed over how badly a movie impacted you, I just want you all to know that about 4 days after watching Dead Poets Society for the first time I had to stay home from school because I threw up after thinking about Todd and Neil

How does my TV break the same day I learn the game isn't working anymore either.

Shorthand AU Masterpost

So my brainrot has gotten so bad that I currently I have 5 AUs for The Idiot Cowboys. At this point they might as well be OCs because this is....... Ridiculous. I have never had this happen with any other series I've been into.

All of them are still WIPs, and anything is subject to change because I have no idea what I'm doing. (pic to break up the cut)

-Vampire/Werewolf (this one you already know); I use BBFF for short when referring to this. BBFF is short for Bark Bark Flap Flap, because I am garbage at naming things, lol (Masterpost here, and I will also post a short and simple summary comic I made for it when I get the chance)

This only happened cuz of the amount of research I've had to do to scientifically justify the supernatural elements in my mind. (there is a lot of science nonsense in here, ESPECIALLY around the vampire mechanics, believe me)

This is also a slowburn from hell, cuz they are both Very Bad at dying, to the point where they through the decades up to Near Future (for those not in the fandom, it's a wacky setting with robots and psychic powers and basically a kaiju fight. Y'know, just how the people in 1994 imagined 2014 would be) and they both are intended to have unique designs for that era too. (only MD is designed for that so far, will post later.)

---

-Fae AU; (I call it Lil Guys AU cuz again, awful with names) still set in the wild west, but it's kinda borrowercore with somewhat darker pepperings of Home Safety Hotline in terms of lore.

I'm working on a summary for that that I will post when it's ready, but it also has a lot of magic mechanics to it. However at this point it's mostly ramblings and whatever bullshit I doodled (and there is A LOT OF IT at this point, because this is the main one i have been scared of posting), and a lot of fic that I've not posted anywhere because I am TERRIFIED of sharing my writing, lmao.

Their relationship moves a lot faster in this one, probably because they're both facing The Horrors™ together that are under the surface of the fantasy facade, and they have to trust each other to survive. (Mostly because they are both silly little rat guys) This one is very much high risk, high return in terms of their relationship.

---

-Duende AU; This one, I literally stuck them in my own OG setting with my OCs (for all 5 of you who know it, it's Yukure's series, which i do need to post more of the lore for, sorry lol)

Essentially, Sundown is a normal guy/former sheriff due to being a suspect in an Unfortunate Event that befell his town in 2012 (The year which the main catalyst occurs in the series), but he was acquitted and sorta "honorably discharged" since he couldn't ever really face his job again (the investigation and trial dragged on for 5 years up to 2017, where the series takes place)

And here, MD is his "Duende" (sorta like being haunted by a ghost/having a Familiar, but they're also functionally a parasite on a host)

They have a similarly antagonistic relationship here, but it's a bit different here because Mad Dog thinks he's pretty much a normal, charming, handsome, witty, suave bounty hunter, who's not sure why he got stuck with some guy with ptsd and depression, and why he suddenly has weird cool powers, and now he's coping with essentially being a ghost/incorporeal.

---

-Vaudeville AU; this is not so much an AU as it is a continuation of canon

Essentially, MD finally catches Sunny after years of goin' at it, collects the bounty money, feels aimless and and horrible because he has no purpose in life. (a core factor here being a sense of loss because he knows he couldn't beat Sunny at his prime, he had to wait til age caught up with him, and he's realizing how much of his own life he spent on it and is Going Through It)

So he breaks Sunny out of jail, talk out their problems, and live the rest of their lives with the bounty money hiding from the law. (fake names, new aliases, everything)

The Vaudeville part comes in cuz MD eventually buys a theater with the reward money, and the setting takes place in the early 1930s as a LAL fan chapter which I keep meaning to write. (These two are really just minor characters in that setting but it's fun anyway lol)

They're in their 70s at this point, but they're still kickin!

---

-Roleswap; this is pretty much just what it says on the tin. If Mad Dog was the outlaw and Sundown was the bounty hunter.

I think MD is wanted for (allegedly) burning down a theater that he was performing in (in truth, the owner needed insurance money and blamed it on him)

This one in particular is fascinating, mostly because Sundown isn't dead inside.

He still has light in his eyes and people to protect. They survived the attack, but he still left town to draw attention away from them, and hunts bounties to survive. (he sends the money to them)

This one is probably the least developed, but still open ended for shenanigans. (I REALLY wanna make the designs for it too...)

My cousin (who is unfortunately a Swiftie) talks about how people hate Taylor because "they hate seeing a successful woman."

No, the reason why I hate her is because:

1. I'm getting sick of hearing her songs everywhere. It doesn't help that my cousin put on the Eras Tour on her TV.

2. Her usage of her private jet. Like girl, use a damn car, you'd be less wasteful that way.

3. The whole dating a racist thing (like seriously...)

4. Joe Alwyn. Like, she seriously left him because of his mental issues even though he was there for her mental issues??? Come on, I barely even know about that guy and even I think that's messed up.

and 5. Her album, "The Tortured Poets Department". More like the "Dear God it's an actual form of torture department". I read the lyrics, and holy shit it's bad. You'd think I'm kidding, but I'm not:

This is from "So Long, London", and this is about Joe Alwyn.

"Died on the altar waiting for proof", huh? You mean the fact that he stayed with you during your darkest days, but you decided to go off and have an affair with someone else for his? Like girl, be fucking for real. And this isn't even the only example of horrendous lyrics. "Tattooed golden retriever"? Really??? "Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto"?? My God, even rappers with more explicit lyrics have a better understanding of songwriting.

Also, there's the whole "mental ward" aesthetic, but that's another story.

I'm hoping this lady disappears from the public scene. Like, I don't want her to die or anything, but I just want her to just...stop. Like, you have enough money, and it feels like you're just writing lyrics for the sake of rhyming them instead of trying to tell a coherent story or something.

You want an actual album that tells a good story? Try "IGOR" or "DAMN". Those are some good choices.

Sorry if this rant comes off as nonsensical, I'm just mad.

ok so when sitd came out you said you weren't expecting much anyways because riddler works better as a side character than a protagonist, but since he apparently isn't in the new season and it's instead focusing on bruce and harvey....is there anything you expect from it? do you expect it to be better than sitd now that bruce is the protag again or are you keeping expectations low?

maaaaan okay so

SITD failed for me for a LOT of reasons. making Eddie the sole POV character was a big issue but definitely not the only one. a lot of what made Unburied really sparkle for me was the strength of the story being split into Bruce's protagonist storyline with Barbara as the deuteragonist (and dragging Eddie along with her) until their investigations converged and brought the whole gang together. the dynamic between all three of them was really strong, and I thought certain unresolved plot points - Barbara investigating Flass framing Eddie for stabbing her dad, the lingering question around Eddie's (possible) mental deterioration, part of Bruce's Moral of the Story being that he needs to let people in and stop being so alone in his crusade - was laying the groundwork for an ongoing collaboration in any future installments.

which SORT OF happened in SITD! kind of! but there was also a really dramatic tonal shift between the two series, and a really crucial lack of my best girl Barbara Gordon, and a plot that felt sloppy as hell building up to a big bad reveal that was neither hard to predict nor particularly satisfying, the very literal execution of the Flass storyline in a way that was clownishly abrupt and didn't involve ANY narrative payoff for Babs at all, a super off base adaptation of Jean Paul Valley (I will admit that one's personal! that's my own fault for being invested in Jean Paul Valley! I'm the clown for that one!), and Bruce's recasting, which is...

man.

one of the biggest preemptive turnoffs for me about the newest installation is that Colman Domingo is still in the role. I probably wouldn't have been able to really love anybody who had the unenviable task of taking over for Winston Duke; he infused Bruce with a warmth and vulnerability that was totally unique and so engrossing to listen to. losing him for the sequels was a tremendous L for the sequels, and I unfortunately found Domingo's performance in SITD very uninspired and generic in tandem with much weaker writing that made Bruce come across as a much asshole than he was in Unburied.

... so tl;dr I am extremely dubious that the very specific vibes on Unburied that made my brain go "WOOOOOOO" are every coming back.

I am expecting. not much. probably a reveal that Morena Baccarin's character, credited as "Allie," is actually a more important existing DC character, similar to Emmy Raver Lampman being credited as Kel to obscure her role as Poison Ivy. also I hope to god they're not going to try to pull of ANOTHER elaborate triple villain reveal after Azrael > Flass > Nadira fell completely flat in comparison to Stirk > Strange > Ivy, but god. I would not be surprised.

also considering the two prior series have ended with something surprisingly tender and homoerotic happening (Bruce and Eddie on a dinner date, Eddie about to get railed by Killer Croc) I'm fully expecting an anguished softboy moment between Bruce and Harvey for the big finale. which I will be unmoved by because Bruharvey does nothing for me.
