HAD TO POST THESE BODYSWAP FIC IDEAS BEFORE I WENT TO BED

1: Sonic and Classic Sonic make wishes one night. Sonic wishes that he had more time to hang with his friends, like he did when he was younger. Classic wishes he was brave and more confident, like his older self. Both wake up the next morning in the wrong points in time.

2: Eggman finds a mysterious rock (Sonic Boom Reference) and uses it to power his latest creation, the Egg Brute (genius name, I know!). It's pretty powerful, so it takes most of Sonic's friends to take it down. But after shattering the main energy source, the rock explodes, switching everyone's conciousnesses around randomly.

3 (final one, biggest one too!): The Modern and Classic, groups with their respective villains, along with some other guests (Miles from my Sonicless AU, @miles-and-cream, Shard The Metal Sonic because bring back my boy, other various comic characters, and the Adventure Trio [Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles], all post-Adventure, pre-SA2) find themselves hunting for the same mysterious 8th Chaos Emerald one hazy night, and end up at a standoff between the groups. In the midst of the eras fighting, the gem gets cracked, causing it to glow and unleashing its raw power. Time is warped, dimensions are messed up, and to make matters worse, nobody is who they should be!

If you write any of these PLEASEEE tag me or use #moxxnangelprompt :3

I saw your tag about Sense8 on that post about how some 9-1-1 fans reacted to Buck and Tommy flirting and I just wanted to let you know it really tickled me (and also you're 100% right)

Oh hunny. The first time we see the heroic trans lesbian hacktivist character, she is receiving the strap from her Black lesbian girlfriend in the gayest place on earth. All to cure a headache that turns out to be much, much more. But some folks are clutching their pearls over a throwaway daddy kink joke made between two boyfriends eating dinner. I mean, we all know why they're in their feelings about it (because they want their own ship to be canon and are searching for any way to bash the Tommy character because he's been paired with one half of said ship) and they are absolutely showing their asses in the worst way.

I've been participating in fandoms and fan spaces for literal decades and I am no stranger to a ship war. But I've really never seen anything like this. I can only compare it to what happened with Arrow when they managed to bully the writers into getting rid of the Green Arrow's canon love interest in favor of a raging Mary Sue, and it made the show demonstrably worse. I really hope that they are not able to pull that off with 9-1-1 because I think they've struck gold with BuckTommy. It makes the most sense, and also let's keep it 100 here - Eddie is straight. The creators and the actor has said as much many, many times. Personally I try not to pay much attention to what creators and actors have to say because I feel like it poisons the well of fanworks and fandom, but some folks don't wanna accept that this shit walks and talks like a duck. Eddie is a heterosexual. It's on screen in the text and it's come down from the people actually creating the show.

I have only been watching this show since two Saturdays ago and I gotta say that the tinhats and BoBs here are WILD. The other day I saw a post suggesting that someone bomb the studio because of BuckTommy. Not to mention the posts claiming pain, suffering, and mental anguish over their ship not being canon after years of "campaigning." These folks either have no idea or don't want to accept that the industry simply doesn't work that way, not to mention HEY it's just a tv show you should NOT be letting it have THIS much power over you. If you're really slipping into depression over not seeing two fictional white men slappin' each other's meat, then there's something more at play here. I don't really wanna get into all of that, but I do wish those people healing.

Also, as a newbie, all of this drama and mudslinging has only made me more resolute in my decision to support the canon ships and canon queers of this program. Watching Buddie shippers get legit unhinged (bombing the studio? harassing actors on their personal social media? reviewing bombing?) over fictional people does not make me wanna break bread with them. I like plenty of non-canon queer ships (most of mine aren't canon, actually) and at one time I might have been down to get on board with that ship, but uhhhhhhh not now.

THE HAND FLEX……. i love you forever pride and prejudice 2005

would any of the main cast like jane austen / any regency era media its stuck in my head now

no, none of them have taste, i fear. despite speaking like he literally could've been removed from a regency period piece himself, i don't actually think jamie likes them either. they do like other classics, and make quite a few references to like. the iliad and shakespeare. that—is probably because i'm nerdy and one of the people writing them, lmfao, and less that it's just something they enjoy.

one of my students translated ‘catilina’ as ‘catullus’ and I pointed out that those are in fact different names, while apologizing for the fact that practically everyone who appears in their sentences—caesar, cicero, catiline, catullus, cato—begins with a C. they asked was that a feature of Roman names? and I said no as far as I knew it was just a totally coincidental cluster in the late republic.

anyway I think I should allow them to translate ‘catilina’ as ‘catboy’
