Finally figured out how to ask a question on mobile cause I’m an idiot.

BUT!!

You’ve established that Brooks’ Occult storyline takes place as a prequel to the rest of the series, I was wondering (if it wasn’t spoilery) where some of the other plots take place in the timeline?

oh i love this ask...i actually have the OCCULT PIECE universe mapped out with three distinct eras into which i slot stories as they occur to me:

The Antique Era: The the town during its founding. Set in the distant past (1800s and prior). Only immortal characters or time travelers will appear in this era as well as in other, future eras. The Not-So-Distant Past: Likely the 1990s. Flip phones, landlines, limited internet access with dial-up modems. Most mortal adult characters from “The Present Day” are children at this point in history. The Present Day: Roughly set in the modern day (2020s). People have smartphones, social media, and easy internet access. But the use of it feels a little behind the times, as noted by some OCs who are new to town. People still read the paper and watch programmed TV. Cell reception isn’t always great in this part of the world due to supernatural interference.

there may be some distinct eras between the Not-So-Distant Past and the Antique Era but i haven't written any plots for them so i haven't bothered defining them yet LMAO (although the Great Void Fire referenced in Rumbar Boulevard happens between The Antique Era and the Not-So-Distant Past fwiw)

SO FAR we have only seen stories in the Not-So-Distant Past and the Present Day...here's the timeline thus far, featuring written fics and my many untitled WIPs:

Untitled Buggy/Reader

The House on Rumbar Boulevard (Eldritch Horror!Brook/Reader)

Untitled Mihawk/Reader

Untitled Shanks/Reader

Untitled Pedro/Reader (bonus: this is a covid fanfic LOL)

Untitled Marco/Reader

The Most Coveted of Thrones (Demon!Doffy Reader)

The Beast Inside (Werewolf!Zoro/reader)

The Baker & the Beast (Katakuri/Reader)

Untitled Crocodile/Reader

Untitled Sabo/Reader

Untitled Smoker/Reader

Untitled Luffy & Reader (platonic)

DISCLAIMER: i am not entirely sure about the placement of some of these, as i could see certain stories taking place in other times, but...this is the timeline i'm currently working with

i guess this turned into a sneak peek for what i have planned haha...at some point i'll have to drop more hints about my plans for the reader characters

thank you for this ask!!!

wow.

so you mean to tell me…

that all throughout s1 we have mobius over here, absolutely batting for loki. defending them whenever he can, trying to convince everyone that he can help them, doing literally everything in his power to have people see the good in loki and how useful she can be.

and.

now.

we have loki doing that exact same thing for mobius? (particularly with sylvie which is even more telling in my opinion)

"He was, unfortunately, very handsome."

This one's a real interesting prompt because I overthink this a lil too much - but here’s what I have for this year's KaiShin One Prompt Challenge!

Please do check out how everyone has gone about with the prompt at @dcmkkaishinevents! And once again, thank you mac for organising it!

Thoughts on it under the cut!

Right. Okay. I really struggled with this one. Not only in terms of time constrains (it's been a really busy time) but also because the prompt is reaallllly interesting. Like super interesting that I just jumped onto to join the event because I wanted to challenge myself (been in a slump lately and this prompt was screaming at me) and I was latching on real hard to something here:

Shinichi and Kaito look alike. So alike that Kaito has gotten mistaken as Shinichi before, and he has used it to his advantage too.

How do I use the prompt, while also remembering that they would look the same? I thought about going the crack route, as seen below:

Kaito: He is, unfortunately, very handsome ??: ... don't you guys look exactly the same? [Narcissist much?] K: oh. Right

But I wasn't up for it. I tried thinking about the idea of one of them looking like an absolute dork (affectionately), and then the line - but it kept feeling wrong to me, because I feel like that would be attractiveness. Handsome is too much of a physical word for me.

As Faith (@indelibleme) says, "this prompt is more for the "damn he's hot" type of vibe lol" - which is absolutely true.

So it's something about the physical appearance. Or at least that's what I want to focus on. But they look the same. (Kinda. You get the idea)

And then, it hit me. What if we make it so that Kaito likes Shinichi - everything from his intelligence to his appearance, and it's not because he looks like Kaito - he doesn't feel attracted to himself duh - but it's because it's how Shinichi looks. Kaito just happens to look like him. And is pining after him in the mirror.

Like. Does that even make sense? Probably. I don't know And right after that thought, I had that image of Kaito looking at the mirror and seeing Shinichi.

AND THEN THAT ONE FIC THAT POPPED UP IN MY HEAD KEPT REVOLVING IN MY HEAD WHENEVER I THINK OF THIS BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY NAILING IT I JUST HAD TO HUNT IT DOWN AGAIN yea. Here's the link to it: the only victim of these innocent crimes (is me) by dytabytes - it's an explicit fic so 18+ only and please read the tags and summary. I guess this drawing is an ode to that fic because when I went back to reread it, the premise really hit all the right spots.

Anyways, again, Kaito and Shinichi has their similarities, and they also have differences. This is just one route I went and m quite happy with what I have.

There was going to be an exposition and conclusion that used the prompt more explicitly, featuring the crack portion, before what I have - but time and energy. I am lacking of them.

If you have read uptil here - seriously thank you and have a good day/night/whatever time is a social construct haha

[hawkeyeslaughter]

hawkeye ships ( platonic or otherwise ) are literally so funny bc you have these beautiful dynamics written with him that are so emotional and you could probably write essays on and then you have hawktrap . whose every interaction is just a couple who has been married for forty years .
