hmmm something something terribly run cafe/bar where the hobbits get summer jobs. aragorn is the bartender who quicky learns not to let pippin anywhere near the cocktail shakers. merry and frodo get drafted into the bitter (not really) rivalry between the gimli the line cook and legolas the head waiter. sam shocks all his friends by quietly becoming the mvp baker and getting a full time job at the end of the summer. the owner is this really weird old guy who shows up once a fortnight with other old duds with beards. merry and pippin are convinced they smoke weed in the bathroom, but it's fine because he throws THE BEST staff party

a new beginning, with you.

It's impossible to write a TOS x Any other Series crossover [for me] without having to think about whose lens it's going to primarily be from because the vibe of TOS is so distinct and I think quite different from all series that follow it. The way the characters speak and are presented is so theatrical and of course steeped in the past that I find myself considering if this is, say, Janeway meeting Kirk (through a VOY perspective) or if I should write Janeway as she would appear if she stepped through a portal and was in TOS' universe.

I’m so curious about the international geopolitics in MHA. Is this happening in the background of the war?

@vyrulent continued from here.

he  couldn't  wait  to  congratulate  ariel  on  her  performance.  he'd  wanted  to  be  the first  person  backstage  afterward.  however,  making  it  through  the  crowd  of  performers  was  proving  to  be  a  difficult  task.  uttering  soft  excuse mes  and  sorrys  he  cleared  a  path  toward  the  flash  of  red  hair  he  managed  to  spot.  

a  hand  moved  to  cover  his  mouth  as  he  cleared  his  throat  softly.  when  his  hand  dropped  down  to  his  side  again  a  broad,  but  shy  smile  was  revealed.  ❛ did  you  get  the  flowers  i  left  for  you? ❜

Nobody can definitively say the means which lead to the tragic ends of two such beloved public figures. Nobody can name what it was that brought the last Targaryen heir to the throne and the only daughter of House Stark together in the first place. No one knows exactly what happened, not in truth, but people can speculate. And speculate, they do.

ok some indie thoughts for her modern/more accessible verse bc she's on my mind:

lab born creature, an attempt to create a modern day (weaponized) dinosaur. she's not the first attempt, but is the first semi-successful prototype - the first to survive into adulthood.

not nearly as big as she is in canon, rather somewhere between the size of a cougar and a tiger. ...can still fit your entire head in her mouth though.

still a very rough prototype, she's genetically unstable and kind of sickly (no less powerful for it though)

highly intelligent. like, near human-level. she understands human speech (mostly english but has the capacity to pick others up, 100%) and is overall incredibly clever

escaped her prison of a lab after tricking one of her handlers into making a mistake. she killed him in the process and then proceeded to hunt down every other scent and face she recognized to kill them as well in a very revenge-driven rampage

fled the scene and disappeared into the wilderness, has since been learning to survive on her own

wanders into cities with some regularity, quickly learning that doing so while it's dark is most ideal and to keep to alleyways and even rooftops where possible (fortunately she's a good climber) to avoid too much attention. it's worth the extra effort despite her distrust of humans and fear of capture & re-imprisonment bc there's such easy access to food (she'll scavenge from dumpsters, hunt small animals (yes, including pets :x), and even occasionally snags an unlucky person)

has definitely been spotted a handful of times, leading to a rise in cryptid-like stories being shared of this dinosaur looking creature lurking in dark alleyways with bright orange eyes and crooked teeth that makes strange clicking and cawing sounds

has grown more curious of humans as she's seen more of them and observed more of their behaviour, coming to the conclusion that perhaps not all of them are abusive and wishing to control her. she still doesn't trust easily, but there is the possibility of developing a friendship with her - she likely won't attack without being provoked unless you remind her in some way of her late handlers or creators.

i imagine her being rather like a corvid if she takes an interest in you and/or if you bring her food or something interesting - she might bring you things she finds. there's a good chance these will be shiny or colourful

basically giant reptile-esque stray (feral) cat who wants to know more about you and learn more about everything but might also eat your dog

Fionna and Marshall Lee being fwb.

Fionna finds out she’s pregnant after an odd few days of feeling nauseous and tired.

Fionna freaks out, absolutely panics, and is very intent on not telling Marshall because she’s pretty sure he’d bail, just up and disappear.

Gary is the only one she’s actually told (besides Cake) and he also freaks out, offering repeatedly to just kick Marshall over and drag him to her until she gets her dues (child support, etc.) Fionna begs him not to.

Marshall at one point, while he and Fionna are out at a bar together, notices Fionna isn’t drinking and teases her with a “what, you pregnant or something?” Fionna nearly crushes her glass in her hand.

Marshall Lee has noticed something going on with Fionna, but she flips out when he probes even a little, so he hasn’t sat her down to talk about it yet, even though she is clearly trying to avoid him.

Fionna panics even more when it turns out to be twins.

@bluedprints liked.

he hasn’t seen this man before, james realizes, as he briefly—politely—tracks his entry from the left of the room. there’s a halo cast around him, faint but unpleasant, and james isn’t sure if it’s merely a memory of the effects of his arctic journey or if his weak eye still plays such tricks with an image.

he doesn’t feel up to introductions, which he’s been lucky enough not to have to do thus far.

‘ you’re not an agent, are you? ’ he asks, meaning of insurance, with a playful tone that once came easily. now it cracks at the slightest pressure, revealing its hollowness. ‘ surely we’d have met. you must be with one of the companies? ’
