Siffrin plays Disco Elysium AU: Featuring backseat gamer Loop.

[somerandomcockroach]

Every panel with Blurr's or Starscream's reactions after every death of each other in every universe when they found out that they are in the same boat I wanna see every time they react ".....oh...." after they discover their friend in misery died, just after they were bickering with each other and smoking together If someone will be searching for Blurr I am not sure at all there is anyone who would want to search for Starscream (unless a dead soul of Bee following him everywhere after IDW universe I don't know ahah). In a sense in this situation Blurr really is his only friend right now

Link Click idea I probably will not write but Have Thoughts

Live Action AU where He Xu succeeds in saving his sister - the present as we know it is erased and life goes on but there’s a small problem - CXS was still in the past when the present changed and as a result he had nowhere to return to. So he’s stuck in his body from three years ago, and is the only one who remembers the original timeline

Step 1: Find Lu Guang and become friends with him all over again

Zuko's role in Epic AU

Jorge Rivera Herrans mentioned throughout the musical, Odysseus was learning how to become ruthless. I don't want to copy and paste Odysseus' personal journey onto Zuko who I believe would handle some events much differently.

Zuko's journey would be about defiance.

He defies the Sky Fire god (Ozai) by sparing enemy's infant son.

He defies the Goddess of War (Azula) by sparing the Cyclops.

He defies the Ocean goddess (Hama) by using the wind bag to escape.

The only time Zuko did give into being cold and heartless was after seeing Iroh in the Spirit Realm, discovering he had died while Zuko was away, and learning of the prophecy of his wife Katara in the arms of another man (The Blue Spirit). Zuko then ordered his crew to merciless kill the sirens then sacrificed six of his crewmembers in the Lair of Koh.

After a mutiny lead by Sokka, the Sky Fire god returned when the sacred cattle were slaughtered and offered Zuko a choice. His death or his crew's death in exchanged for the cattle. He expected Zuko to choose his crew.

Zuko chose himself.

The Sky Fire god saw this as another act of rebellion. So, he scarred Zuko to teach him obedience then killed the rest of his crew.

But Zuko continued to deify fate.

He silently defies the Island goddess (Ty Lee) by never truly surrendering to her advances or losing hope of escape.

Zuko's defiance inspired others.

The Goddess of War, his friend and former mentor (and half-sister), rebelled against her father the Sky Fire god by fighting for Zuko's release.

His fallen friends and comrades escape the spirit realm and helped Zuko in his fight against the Ocean goddess.

In Zuko's last act of defiance, he forced the Ocean goddess to lift her storm so he can return home to his family in a matter very similar to the musical, echoing her own words against her.

May I ask for an IchiRui au please? Thx!

-Milky

Of course you may!

Fair warning that this idea ended up being really tragic and sad, which (while not unheard of) isn't typically the direction I like to go, and definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea, so if you'd rather have a happier au, please just ask and I will make you another one.

With that said, Content Warning for multiple mentions of character death.

(Also, this is another long one folks, so buckle up)

Once upon a time, there was a prince, named Rui Kamishiro.

This prince was a lonely one. He tended to spend most of his time in his personal study, messing around with magic and teaching himself the art of alchemy. This didn't earn him the greatest reputation across his or any other kingdoms, as most people were either scared of magic or didn't truly care for it as he did. There were few who could look past this and see the kind, caring prince that he was, but he treasured those close friends very deeply.

One such friend was his personal knight, Ichika Hoshino. She had started off as just another member of the kingdom's royal guard, one that Rui took a particular liking to. Ichika would stop by his study, and she would spend hours listening to him rambling about his work. And when she was later assigned to watch over Rui personally, the two only grew even closer.

No one was allowed to know the full extent of their connection, aside from a few close confidants, but that was alright. The late evenings gazing at the stars twinkling in the sky as Ichika told him all about the different constellations, or the nights spent snuggled under the prince's covers as she listened to Rui's heartbeat, or the early mornings they would hold each other close as they watched the sunrise before surrendering to their duties- that was more than enough for the two.

But one day, war broke out between them and another kingdom. The conflict was brutal, and Ichika had to be sent into the heat of battle to protect their people. She had left him with a soft kiss, and a promise that she would return to her prince as soon as she could. And he smiled, squeezing her gently as he told her he'd wait as long as it took.

The war came to an end, and Ichika Hoshino returned home in a coffin.

To say the prince was devastated would be an understatement. Ichika had been sweet and kind, hard working and diligent, intelligent as she was beautiful- and most importantly, she had been his Star.

Rui didn't know what to do anymore. Not a day went by that he didn't miss her, that the image of her pale face didn't haunt him, that he didn't wonder how he could possibly live without her.

But, maybe there was hope for their happy ending after all.

For as long as Rui could remember, he'd wanted to learn to control time. To be able to see and change the past or the future. Few believed him to be capable of such a feat- Ichika had been one of them.

With a sense of determination he had never felt before, he worked day and night to figure out the secrets to time travel. If he could do that- if he could go back in time, if he could make different choices- then maybe, just maybe, he could save his Star from her cruel, undeserved fate.

Finally, he had cracked it. He had crafted a device- a magical hourglass, which he could use just once to travel through space and time.

In the back of his mind, a voice screamed at him about the potential ramifications of such a thing. He had no clue how this would affect the world as he knew it, and the consequences for this could be dire.

But he didn't listen to that voice. All that mattered to him now was saving Ichika.

The first time he went back felt like a dream. Or waking up from a horrible nightmare. That's what he'd played it off as when he woke up long before the war, clinging to his beloved knight and sobbing hysterically as she held him comfortingly.

This time, when the war arrived once again, Rui tried to convince Ichika to stay behind. He told her that there were more than enough knights already fighting in the war, and he begged her not to go out there. Still, despite his desperate pleas, all she did was smile sadly at him and kiss him before she left, promising once again that she would be sure to return.

Of course, he knew that she wouldn't. And she didn't. He'd failed her.

So he tried again. He made the hourglass again, and he went back in time.

When he started training alongside the knights, hoping he could join the war effort and save her directly, all he'd achieved was watching her be impaled right before his eyes.

When he finally managed to make peace with the other kingdom, stopping the war before it could even start, it wasn't long before she was killed on a different mission instead.

When he grabbed her hand and begged her to run away together, to find someplace they could love each other freely, they had barely made it past the gates before she'd been shot down.

He had tried again. And again. And again. And again.

Nothing ever worked.

He went back again. He tried to rack his brain for any ideas, anything he hadn't tried before.

Nothing. He was all out of options by now.

When the war once again reared it's ugly head, and Ichika once again wished him farewell, he broke down.

He couldn't do this anymore. He couldn't keep losing her again and again. He couldn't keep failing her.

He begged again, desperately and pathetically, for her not to go. That he couldn't live with himself if she died out there.

Unexpectedly, she gave in this time. Somehow, the two were able to convince his parents that she was needed at the castle, to keep him safe.

Rui had never felt such relief in his life. This might work. Ichika might be okay now. This may have all been worth it.

Of course, things could never be that simple. Enemy knights found their way to the castle, intending to take out the royal family and end the war.

Of course, Ichika planned to protect her prince with her life. It was her job, and Rui was the most important thing in her life. If she had to die to insure his survival, then so be it.

But when the enemies came to take him, Rui gave himself up with open arms. So long as their leaders promised to stop the fighting once and for all, they could do with him as they pleased.

Ichika was shocked and horrified at this, knowing what they had in store for him. She tried to stop him, to convince him not to do this.

Still, despite her desperate pleas, all he did was smile sadly at her and kiss her, whispering against her lips that everything would be okay. That she would be okay.

Rui Kamishiro was executed shortly after this, and the war came to an end.

The knight was beyond devastated. Rui had been one of the kindest, most amazing people she had ever met- how was it fair for him to be murdered like this? How could anyone believe he deserved that? And how on earth was she supposed to go on now without him?

Some time after his execution, Ichika had been tidying up his old study when she made a curious discovery.

Tucked away, in the back of his desk drawer, were a collection of notes. Notes on time travel, and how to build a hourglass- one that would allow one to travel to the past.

Ichika had no idea when he created these, or why he had hidden it from her, but she didn't care. If these notes were true, if this worked, then maybe she could use them herself. She could save her prince from his unjust fate.

It took months for her to figure out how to put it together. Once she did, she hesitated only a moment before she went back.

Ichika was going to save her prince from death, or she was going to die trying.

put that gay little android in a time loop

Oh I have…I honestly still think about this AU pretty often. I still want to go back and rework it, because time loops are one of my favourite tropes out there. The angst and mindbreak potential is so deliciously high 😩

(Also I’m so sorry for answering this so late…I have a habit of seeing messages, nodding, and forgetting to answer aSFGJ)

[starheirxero]

*slams hands down on table*

XERO????

AHAIAHSIWHF HAIII MINUTE. CLASPS MY HANDS TOGETHER VERY POLITELY. I put Eclipse in a time loop that starts from the first day of October and restarts on the day he dies 😁 The loop can only be broken when he starts to heal from his trauma and ties up loose ends :3

Something I always wanted to draw this since I've heard this song when it came out and translations were being made. Trickle's version tho, absolutely made me lose my mind.

It's literally the Leon DBD AU song and it makes me so ill 😭

idk if people on tumblr know about this but a cybersecurity software called crowdstrike just did what is probably the single biggest fuck up in any sector in the past 10 years. it's monumentally bad. literally the most horror-inducing nightmare scenario for a tech company.

some info, crowdstrike is essentially an antivirus software for enterprises. which means normal laypeople cant really get it, they're for businesses and organisations and important stuff.

so, on a friday evening (it of course wasnt friday everywhere but it was friday evening in oceania which is where it first started causing damage due to europe and na being asleep), crowdstrike pushed out an update to their windows users that caused a bug.

before i get into what the bug is, know that friday evening is the worst possible time to do this because people are going home. the weekend is starting. offices dont have people in them. this is just one of many perfectly placed failures in the rube goldburg machine of crowdstrike. there's a reason friday is called 'dont push to live friday' or more to the point 'dont fuck it up friday'

so, at 3pm at friday, an update comes rolling into crowdstrike users which is automatically implemented. this update immediately causes the computer to blue screen of death. very very bad. but it's not simply a 'you need to restart' crash, because the computer then gets stuck into a boot loop.

this is the worst possible thing because, in a boot loop state, a computer is never really able to get to a point where it can do anything. like download a fix. so there is nothing crowdstrike can do to remedy this death update anymore. it is now left to the end users.

it was pretty quickly identified what the problem was. you had to boot it in safe mode, and a very small file needed to be deleted. or you could just rename crowdstrike to something else so windows never attempts to use it.

it's a fairly easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that it is effecting enterprises. which can have a looooot of computers. in many different locations. so an IT person would need to manually fix hundreds of computers, sometimes in whole other cities and perhaps even other countries if theyre big enough.

another fuck up crowdstrike did was they did not stagger the update, so they could catch any mistakes before they wrecked havoc. (and also how how HOW do you not catch this before deploying it. this isn't a code oopsie this is a complete failure of quality ensurance that probably permeates the whole company to not realise their update was an instant kill). they rolled it out to everyone of their clients in the world at the same time.

and this seems pretty hilarious on the surface. i was havin a good chuckle as eftpos went down in the store i was working at, chaos was definitely ensuring lmao. im in aus, and banking was literally down nationwide.

but then you start hearing about the entire country's planes being grounded because the airport's computers are bricked. and hospitals having no computers anymore. emergency call centres crashing. and you realised that, wow. crowdstrike just killed people probably. this is literally the worst thing possible for a company like this to do.

crowdstrike was kinda on the come up too, they were starting to become a big name in the tech world as a new face. but that has definitely vanished now. to fuck up at this many places, is almost extremely impressive. its hard to even think of a comparable fuckup.

a friday evening simultaneous rollout boot loop is a phrase that haunts IT people in their darkest hours. it's the monster that drags people down into the swamp. it's the big bag in the horror movie. it's the end of the road. and for crowdstrike, that reaper of souls just knocked on their doorstep.

In the future I believe I shall be calling looped Chou Piéride even tho they'd still go by Chou for clarities sake 👍
