I'm Back In The Game, Except Not Really Headcanons: Part One

Idea Post

Ask that contains some headcanons

• No one knows that Noah and Chris planned Noah's elimination, and they never tell anyone after the season ends. They could get in a lot of trouble for it, so they just vow to never mention it. Which works out great for Chris because he genuinely forgets about it while Noah shoved it in a box within a box within a box within a hole in the ground of the darkest corner of his mind.

• To signify his return to his job, when Chris tossed Alejandro his bag of peanuts, he also tossed Noah his headset and his belt pack to place on his utility belt instead of a parachute. The others were confused, but Noah knew what was happening but had to play up being confused and annoyed, so he just deadpanned. "Seriously?"

"Definitely, dude!" Chris had said as a smirk spread across his face.

"You fired me!"

"But did I really?"

"Yes!"

"Well, I don't recall that, and it's in your contract! Soooooo.... Welcome back, Noah!" Chris cheered as though this was a big, genuine welcome, and Owen clapped in response.

Let it be known that people were stupid if they actually believed Chris couldn't act. When they brought up certain movies and shows, he was in where he seemed to be horrible at acting, they didn't know he had done it on purpose because he hated the director or his co-actor/actress. Or because he lost interest in the show he was in and didn't like what they were doing with his character. It was his way of giving them an out to not hire him anymore or write out his character.

Point being, the dude could act, and he was putting on a show right now. One that had Noah biting back a smile back since he was the other actor in this scene.

• Owen was very happy that Noah hadn't been eliminated whilst Alejandro was throwing the biggest tantrum in his mind. Tyler didn't particularly care because he was still a little hurt that Noah and Owen left him behind while Duncan wasn't pleased mainly because he and Noah never really got along.

• Noah tried not to seem as touched as he really was when Chris and Chef showed him to the room they had made specifically for him and had decorated for him since the beginning of the competition. But when he saw the weighted blankets, the weighted platypus plush animal he knew he had left at home, the bookcase full of books, his switch, and so many more things, he couldn't help but get emotional. He gave both Chris and Chef the biggest hugs he could manage.

• Like stated, Noah's elimination was planned, but as opposed to other AUs, the producers/network did grant him his promotion and pay raise. Mainly because they saw firsthand how the show ran without him, which wasn't good but also because of his lowkey blackmail he collected and Chef and Chris used.

• Alejandro was pissed that Noah was still around, but he reasoned that he wouldn't see the other boy much now that he was working on the show. Though that didn't lessen the small, so small, practically microscopic feeling of guilt he had.

He had made his decision of voting Noah out purely off emotion. If he had been more level-headed, he would have finally been rid of the absolute butter donkey known as Owen. But Noah had called him an eel dipped in grease swimming in motor oil, which is not a wrong statement. Yet it had hurt to hear. He didn't understand why, though. He had had worse comments said about him and thrown at his face by Heather and José.

Therefore, his emotional response was illogical and dumb. That's why he had been looking forward to Noah being thrown off. Now the snark was still here, and he would more than likely see him, and he would be hit with those illogical feelings and emotions. Some he could name and others he couldn't.

He vowed he would ignore the guy next time he saw him!

• Yeah, that didn't happen because Noah had ignored him! Him! The snark had walked in before their next challenge was announced and did as he did best and snarked at Chris about the incompetence of the interns. Alejandro had no idea why his heart skipped a beat as he caught sight of Noah and his newish look. The boy had his curls pulled into a low ponytail, while his usually loose shirts under his sweater vest were tucked into his cargo pants, and speaking of his sweater vest, he couldn't help but notice it was replaced by one of the same color except this one had a monogrammed 'DP' on it.

As Noah handed Chris a stack of papers, he couldn't help but notice his newly painted nails that matched his teal shirt. He watched as one of those hands reached up to tuck a stray curl behind his ear, and that's when Alejandro noticed the headset in said ear and the sunglasses the boy wore that were slipped down on his nose so he could look at Chris as he spoke. He looked good...

And who knew he could take charge like that....

• Then the next time he saw him, he was riding on the back of a bear that had a pink bow on top of its head. Everyone just stopped listening to Chris and stared as Noah rode by. They could hear him sweetly talking to the bear and completely ignoring them all.

"It's okay, Star, we'll get you to your brothers, and then I'll talk to mean old Chris about that dreadfully ugly necklace he made you wear!"

"Old!?" Chris yelled, looking as offended as Lindsay had when Chris told her she couldn't shop.

Noah said nothing in response, but Alejandro could see him hiding a smirk. It was endear- irritating!

• Contrary to the original idea post where I said the cast wouldn't see Noah until the after the marathon in Australia, they will see Noah every episode. Idea posts are subject to change as I continue to work on them so don't be surprised if some things change!

• Ace, the intern, does have a crush on Noah and has even before the season started and now that Noah is back to being part of the crew he figured it was time to shoot his shot so to speak. Plus, Ace wasn't working under Noah himself, so he figured that helped his chances since he knew Noah cared about work environment safety, care, and rules.

• Because Chris fired so many interns, it gave Ace the opportunity to get closer to Noah and chat him up. Chris has never been madder at himself for his trigger-happy firing.

• Chef and Chris assigned some of their security detail to Noah. Yes, they have security with them because of the stops they take. They have general security and personal security. Chris even has a night shift security guard that guards Noah's room, but Noah doesn't know that.

• It's to make sure no contestant somehow manages to get into the staff level! And tracks down Noah's room (which isn't hard since Chris had it labeled with a golden plaque) to intimate him into helping them with the competition! It's definitely not because he's worried some stupid boys will go in there and try and woo his son assistant!

• Owen and Noah can't really talk, but Owen is just happy when he gets to see his little buddy, and they get to wave to one another. And if he finds snacks hidden in his duffle bag, he'll just blame it on the Snack Fairy. Who is totally real and not Noah at all.

��� Alejandro starts to realize he may have actually considered Noah a friend when he keeps turning to make a snide or sarcastic comment/joke, and there is no short snarky boy beside him to share it with.

It was when he saw that intern flirting with Noah in Australia that it hit him that he was crushing on the boy.

• Sweden was a test of self-restraint as that stupid intern, Ace, was heavily flirting with Noah, and whenever he did so it was around Alejandro!!! And every time that pinche cabrón would look him dead in the eyes and smirk if he got Noah to smile or laugh!! The audacity!!!

• But! He did manage to talk to Noah alone and even managed to get the boy to laugh and smirk!!! He counted that as a win in his book. And if he looked around until he spotted the intern that decided to stick to his Zorro like a leech and smirked at him while Ace was handing the girls their costumes, well no one had to know.

• No one but Chris and Chef who witnessed the whole thing and who were irritated at the two boys for flaunting their flirtations with their son!!! At this point, Chris accepted the fact he saw Noah as his son.

• Noah had to wear a full suit for the Niagra Brawls challenge as a lot of the viewers loved the little they saw him working on the show as an assistant so Chris decided to give the people what they want and had Noah dress up to help present the challenge along with Chef. In this AU Chef's dress was a more pale pink, and Noah's suit matched it with baby blue accents that matched Chris's suit.

Alejandro and Ace swooned at the sight.

• Ace was praying for Alejandro's downfall the whole challenge ever since he made Noah blush when the charmer asked if he could switch Heather for Noah. Damn that smooth eel!!

Well, he had to up his game then!

• That night, Chris and Chef could be heard laughing maniacally throughout the whole plane. No one knew what they were planning, but what they did know was that they were scared. Ace was given a list of things to do, which included placing the small impact mines along the Great Wall of China, wrangling the donkey, and placing all the modes of transportation in their designated spots, getting the ,frankly, gross ingredients Chef needed for the challenge, etc.

He was running around like a chicken without a head!

Chef and Chris had great pleasure watching Alejandro and Blaineley suffer through the challenge the most. Alejandro for making goo-goo eyes at their son and Blaineley for trying to threaten him into an alliance with her and then trying the blackmail Chef with Noah so the man would be in an alliance with her when Noah staunchly ignored her.

• Alejandro walked into the quicksand in the Safari challenge because he got distracted by the sight of Noah in just a t-shirt instead of his usual three shirts, and his cargo pants were turned into cargo shorts. It was very distracting, especially when said boy was fanning himself and constantly tugging his shirt away from his body to allow cool air to hopefully pass through and help him cool down.

Ace walked into and fell into a bush of Serengeti Blood Berries because he was also distracted. Chris and Chef counted it as a win since it got the intern away from their son for the whole challenge.

• Except it actually didn't last the whole challenge because they had to send Noah back to the plane due to his anemia. He started getting dizzy, which prompted Chef to check him over, and they felt how hot he was getting so they made one of their security guards to take Noah back to the plane using one of their carts.

• Was Alejandro worried when he couldn't see his Zorro or the Pest (his nickname for Ace) anywhere around? Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

He was more worried when he found out that Noah had to go back to the plane because he was at risk of getting heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Try as he might, he was not allowed to see Noah, which he definitely did not pout about.

• But when he went to make a confessional, he overheard Chef talking to Chris about Noah doing better, so that lifted a weight from his shoulders.

• Izzy, Eva, and Owen are all writing their shovel talks out. Izzy's is currently at ten pages long, Eva's is at four, and Owen is finished at like a fourth of a page.

• It should be noted that Chef and Chris's shovel talk is nearly as long as a novel. Well, Chris's is. Chef's is short but very effective.

• Once again, Noah was not allowed anywhere near the Rapa Nui challenge because Chris and Chef were worried Noah's Disney Princess bullshit would kick in, and their kid would be kidnapped by a giant condor who would mistake Noah as her chick or something. No, no, in place of him, they use Ace to help around. 😈

• The viewers love seeing Noah helping with the challenges or just being on camera plainly, so Chris has him by him as much as possible during a challenge (excluding Rapa Nui) as a kind of co-host. If there's anyone he would consider being a co-host with, it would be his kid.

• Chris's family keeps bugging him about meeting their new nephew, grandkid, cousin, etc, and he's just like "You've met him already!"

Noah had met Chris's family as his personal assistant a couple of times before the season started, but according to his family, "That doesn't count!"

It was annoying! It got worse when they started demanding they meet their future nephew-in-law, grandkid-in-law, cousin-in-law, etc, in reference to Alejandro!!!

Et tu brute!!

WHO WANTS JOYOUS RANDOM CHARACTER HC TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS??!!! ALL OF YOU????OKAY!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLODAYS!!!!!!!!

OKAY. ONE OF THESE NOT CHRISTMASY,THE REST ARE!!!!!!

okay………..

so

-Geoff and Brody actually picked each others tattoos.

-And with that, Brody really likes space and stars and stuff he loves it he likes the beach at night because he can see the stars . Geoff picked Brody’s tattoo out because hes a great friend and knew Brody would like it. We’ll never know what the fuck is tattooed on Geoff’s Jabooty

-AGAIN adding onto that. Brody proposed the idea of tattoos because it was funny, and Geoff was like ‘I bet you won’t’! And Brody was like ‘I BET YOU WONT!’ neither backed down despite the fear of getting one. tattoos were acquired

-Emma (RR) makes all the cookies and yummy goodies for Christmas . Sugar cookie, peanut butter, chocolate chip and MORE!!!!! and kitty takes photos of Emma while baking. Pictures of Emma knee deep in a batter mess, Emma pulling cookies out of the oven etc etc. Emma thinks it’s just silly and goofy so she’s never made Kitty stop this—because she’s just having fun, but sometimes kitty posts Emma’s GOOD pictures with captions and stuff like “I love my sister:D” and just sweet things that make Emma happy.

-D.J buys all of his pets—which he as ALOT of—little Christmas clothes. Bunny got a sweater….his kitty got a Christmas hat…..he loves his animals. For pets like fish that can’t wear clothes, he draws little festive things on the tank so they can be in the jolly spirit too.

-Bridgette prefers to make handmade gifts for everyone because she thinks it shows how much she cares for them, taking the time to make something special!!!!! but every year she gets anxious when giving them, because she gets worried someone won’t like theirs…

-everyone has loved them and secretly they wait for her gifts. She always makes something cutie as HELL. even Heather and Courtney love what she makes very very much

-Alejandro and José—when maybe 5 & 6–tried to stay up and catch Santa. They stood in the hallway and Jose waited with the video camera. Alejandro being five and TINY kept starting to fall asleep and José was like ‘Al stop it!!!!we gotta catch santa stay awake!!!!!’

-Alejandro fell asleep against José and José was forced to sit down with Alejandro on his shoulder so that the sound of a five year old kid hitting the ground didn’t wake anyone. As soon as José sat down, he fell asleep too

-AND THEN!!!! Their parents came out to do some last minute wrapping, put some presents under the tree etc etc, and they see these two stupid kids and got a picture of the two just sleeping peacefully flopped over one another, like two loving brothers. Fast forward many years. Alejandro and José despise the photo but are unable to get rid of it.

-Courtney makes lists. And lists. Of everything. For Christmas. Even things that don’t need lists she just loves lists that much. Most of these lists never change either she just rewrites them every year and keeps them all SMOOTH in her pocket. What a little creature.

-the second candy canes come back to stores and stuff for the season, Cody has about 20 boxes. Every time you see him? He’s eating a candy cane. What’s in his back pockets? Candy canes. Whether they’re like the jolly rancher flavored ones or regular or whatever. He is always munching on fucking candy canes

-Geoff never says what the hell he wants for Christmas. Where as others might walk by a coat at the store and go “hey I like that coat” he will not say shit. Bridgette and brody are on their hands and knees like what do you want for Christmas dude….and hes like “uh. I dunno I’d like anything^_^”. And he always likes everything he gets no matter how far off it is from what he may have wanted deep down. He’s just joyous.

-Sadie and Katie have matching PJS & matching stuffed antler headbands that they wear every Christmas. They are always matching they are the bestest besties ever. They also have matching Christmas slippers…which are reindeers to nobodies surprise.

AND THAT CONCLUDES IT!!!!!! by the time your seeing this post, it’s probably Christmas, but I’m writing & posting on Christmas Eve. BUT MERRY CHRISYMAS!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!

this image was sent to me 1 year ago—so now here tumblr have christmas chris—who’s still pinned in our disc dms. Everyone needs to see him

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 3

Charlie sneaked downstairs avoiding the steps that creaked as she went down each one. Her father was asleep, as evident of his very loud snoring that could be heard all throughout the house. She peered downstairs, at the big bed in their living room that all of her grandparents slept in. She finally hit the floor, carefully approaching the bed, where she carefully shook Abuelo José awake.

He abruptly awoke, his one remaining eye snapping open, and he shot up into a sitting position. “WHA-” He yelled out, and Charlie covered his mouth.

The snoring of her father shuttered, and he snorted. She waited, holding her breath. And then she exhaled a sigh as the snoring resumed. “Shh! It's just me, Abuelo!”

“Charlie?” He calmed, and then looked at her with a curious, if a little suspicious, look. “¿Por qué estás despierto, niña?” He whispered, looking at her with a raised brow.

“I couldn't sleep. Can you tell me a story?” She asked, tilting her head to the side with a smile. Abuelo seemed to know quite a bit about the man, considering how many stories he had of him.

“Absolutely not, Charlie! Your father will be very cross with the both of us if he finds you awake at… at… what time is it, anyways?” He looked around. “Do we have a clock?”

“Just one story! And then I'll go back to bed!” She whispered, clasping her hands together as she peeked at him from behind the curtain of black hair that covered her eyes. “Pretty please?”

José looked at her granddaughter. “Try to stay strong!” He would tell himself, but even he knew it was futile. He could survive a charging Rhino, but he was weak when it came to his granddaughter. “Fine! Just one story, and you must promise to go straight back to bed!”

“Promise!” She cheered, maybe a bit too loudly as she heard her father grumble in his sleep. She covered her mouth, and then nodded her head.

“Hm… let's see here.” He thought for a while, clutching at his breaded chin, stroking the fine gray hairs. “Did I tell you the one about the Indian prince?” Charlie nodded her head once again. “Oh! How about how I lost my leg?” Another nod. “Oh, I did? Huh. Swore you were too young for that story…” He pondered for quite a while, musing over the different tales and stories. Then, he smiled wide. “Did I tell you about why the Wonka Factory closed down?”

“I don’t think so... Why'd it close?” She asked, sitting in the one chair in the living room. “He's pretty successful.”

“It wasn't an issue of money, Charlie.” He spoke. “Mr. Wonka was a very kind man, very intelligent, and most importantly, very creative. However, his success caused him to gain a lot of enemies. Prodnose, Fickelgruber, and Slugworth. Three titans in the candy industry, but only mere peanuts in comparison to Mr Wonka himself! And so, of course, they grew jealous of him. Then they grew sneaky. They sent spies to work for Wonka! They stole his secrets, his recipes, and called them their own! So, what was Mr Wonka to do? He didn't know who was stealing from him and who wasn't. He couldn't trust anyone. He was absolutely shattered from the whole ordeal, and he did the only thing he thought he could do. He closed down the whole factory, sealing himself inside!” He spoke, waving his arms about this way and that for a bit of added theatrics.

“But- he's still making chocolate! And they're still being delivered to stores and stuff. How can he be doing all of that if he's the only one in there?”

“No one is sure, Charlie.” He looked around, as if checking to make sure no one was watching, then he motioned for her to get closer, to which he whispered to her, as quiet as possible. “But- some say it's haunted. When it's dark, and the lights are on inside, you might be able to see the silhouettes of people inside.”

“Spooky…” She muttered, softly. There was still only one question left in her head, however. “...How do you know all this stuff, Abuelo? You never worked at the factory.” She asked, tilting her head to the side.

Abuelo José sputtered for a moment, eyes going wide as he jerked to lay back down, away from Charlie. “Oh, um- that's something for a different time. Besides, you got your story. Now go back to bed!” Charlie sighed, but relented. She did say that she would go back to bed, and she had to keep her promises. So, Charlie went back upstairs, into the attic. She climbed into bed, and dreamed of sweet secrets.

The day that followed would be very special.

It was the same as every other day, at least it began that way. Charlie woke up extra early to deliver the newspaper as she always did during the week. A little part time job, just before school, just to make a little extra money for her family. She rode her bike down the road, chucking each newspaper as she passed the houses. The morning air was chilly, but the sun was beginning to peek out from the horizon, bathing the town in warm light. It still didn't quite cut the freeze, but it was welcome all the same.

It was a quiet morning, with only the sounds of the birds, the occasional breeze, and a few cars rushing by. An average morning, with the same people, and the same cars, and the same houses, same gray sky and same cold air. It was always the same. After delivering newspapers, Charlie biked the rest of the way to school. From there, it was the same classes, with the same kids, and the same teachers.

Charlie daydreamed, her mind wandering off to distant places in her boredom. She stared out the window, using her arms as a cushion when she laid her chin against the desk. This is where the day began to deviate from the normal path that she was used to. A sudden commotion was heard outside her classroom, snapping her out of her thoughts. The sounds were both in the halls and outside the window. A sudden noise enveloped all surroundings, as a kid suddenly barged in from the door, holding a newspaper. A newspaper that Charlie had delivered a mere hour ago.

“Willy Wonka is letting people back into his factory!” She shouted. She recognized him as being Barbara, a kid in the grade above her. Charlie lifted her head up, eyes wide.

It was no secret that Charlie adored Willy Wonka. Beyond just the sweets, there is something alluring about the mysterious figure. He was a genius, an inventor with a mystical mind. And, well, he had to be lonely, right? Being all alone in that factory. And Charlie was pretty lonely herself. So, maybe… just maybe, if she ever got to meet him, they would become friends.

That was something that Charlie wanted most of all. Besides sweets, besides money, she just wanted a friend.

“Class is dismissed!” Her science teacher, Mr Turkentine, cheered out, already making his way to the door. Everyone followed suit, standing to charge out of the door, Charlie included.

However, Barbara stayed standing. “Wait! He's only letting in seven people!” She waved the newspaper, the front page clearly seen. An image of a Wonka Bar was printed on it, in black and white. “There's these golden tickets hidden in the bars, and whoever finds them can go inside the factory for a chance to win a prize!”

“What prize!?” One kid asked, waving a hand to try and get the girl's attention. “Is it treasure!?” A boy shouted. “A lifetime supply of candy!?” Another guessed.

“It doesn't say what it is! Just that it's a prize!”

Mr. Turkentine looked outside, at the students and teachers alike rushing outside, all with one purpose in mind. If he didn't get out there, soon all the Wonka chocolates in town would be sold out! “Well, my point still stands! Come on, out you go!” He shooed them all out of the door, and the children didn't need to be told twice.

Soon, everyone was gone. Except for Charlie, who stood alone in the classroom. She would be lying if she said she wasn't disheartened by the limit. As soon as her spirits got up, they came crashing back down. Snapping out of her thoughts, she dug through all her pockets, pulling out all the stuff from them. She piled it all onto the desk, looking through the contents. Only little trinkets and junk that she had picked up from the side of the road. Pull tabs, lint, a stray string, and twigs.

Alas, no money.

She inhaled softly, then exhaled. It was disappointing, but not surprising. Charlie tucked it all back away into the pockets of her coat, and left the classroom, making the lonely way back home on her own. When she finally arrived home, her father looked at her. She could see the page of the newspaper poorly hidden in his flannel overshirt. “Hey kid! You're home early. How was school?” He asked, trying to sound oblivious, and trying to act as cheerful as possible to make Charlie happy. Clearly, it was not working. Her grandparents, minus Grandpa George, seemed a little cautious, aware of the news and the implications.

“It was fine.” She mumbled softly. She took off her backpack, hanging the old brown bag on the singular coat hook in the living room, the others having fallen off the wall a long time ago.

Damien ran a hand through his dark hair. Her not rambling about how exciting the whole thing was gave him an idea of how she viewed her chances. What was he to do? It wasn’t like he really had the tools or money to take away this specific type of pain from his daughter. Then, it hit him. “Hey, your birthday is almost here! Maybe I could take the day off, and we could patch up that hole in the roof?” He suggested, though he got no reaction from Charlie as she began to ascend the stairs up to her room. Damien furrowed his brow slightly, walking over to her and grasping her hand. The young girl turned her head to look at her father. “You have just as much of a chance as anyone else does, Charlie.”

“Bah!” Grandpa George grumbled, waving a dismissive hand. “It’s not going to happen! The only people that are going to win one of those tickets are going to be able to buy more than one bar a year! And they’re going to buy them up by the thousand! There won’t be any left by the girl’s birthday-!” His rant was cut short by Grandma Georgina loudly shushing him.

“Oh hush!” She huffed, crossing her arms. Then, she looked at Charlie, a smile quickly replacing the irritated scowl. “Do not pay him any mind, dear. He’s just a tad bit grouchy.”

“A “tad bit” is an understatement.” Abuelo José muttered.

“The point is,” her father began, “that you deserve to win one of those tickets more than anyone else. And these things sometimes have a way of… working themselves out. Just stay positive for me, alright?” His grip drifted from her wrist to her hand, and he smiled warmly at her. And Charlie smiled back.

The night went on as any other night had, but as Damien began to get ready for his second job, his mind couldn't help but wander into worrying places. He looked towards the window in his bedroom, and approached the single pane of glass that poorly acted as the barrier against the winter cold.

“Oh Holly, what am I going to do?” Damien asked, as he looked up to the sky that stretched out above their little house. The moon and some stars just barely peeking out from the heavy clouds that were held against the night. Holly had always loved space. “She’s going to be crushed if she doesn’t win that ticket.” He mumbled, and yet he had no solution to this. Like any good father, Damien only wished that he could give his daughter the world. He wanted to take all of her problems and make them better, but that simply was not something he could do, no matter how hard he tried. He didn't have the money, and he didn't have the resources. “I’ll figure something out, right? I mean, there's gotta be something that can be done so she isn't… completely destroyed, right?” He knew very well that there was nothing else that Charlie wanted.

Damien sighed, looking away from the window. “Talking to the sky… I must be losing it at this point.” He rubbed at his tired eyes, blinking open his weary eyes. He had another shift to work before he could truly rest.

The next morning, Charlie descended the stairs as she usually did. The radio was tuned in to the news, her father humming sleepily as he prepared breakfast. Which was toast and margarine. Her grandpa and Abuelo were arguing over… something, she wasn't quite tuned herself. Charlie was never really one for mornings.

Then, an announcement was heard over the static of the radio. An announcement that snapped Charlie from her mind that had been dazed from sleep.

“And this just in, the first Golden Ticket has been found!”

Historical Fiction meets Fantasy (Middle-Grade and YA)

Here's a list of books that take real world history and give it a supernatural spin. Sometimes it's a full alternate universe (1860s NYC--WITH DINOSAURS) and sometimes it's more subtle.

Middle-Grade (about 8-12)

Dactyl Hill Squad by Daniel José Older

When?: 1863

Fantasy element?: There's dinosaurs around that people can ride and it's AWESOME

Elevator pitch: During the Draft Riots of 1863, a group of Black and Latine children escape the destruction of their orphanage and must outwit a gang of kidnappers--by riding pterodactyls!

The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier

When?: the Victorian era

Fantasy element?: a tree that grants wishes...for a horrible price

Elevator pitch: An Irish girl and her disabled little brother manage to get a job at an English estate after their parents are lost. But they soon learn their new refuge is haunted by a strange spectre guarding a mysterious tree. An excellent spooky story.

The Inquisitor's Apprentice by Chris Moriarty

When?: the turn of the 20th century

Fantasy element?: magic, in many specific cultural forms, is real, and there's a lot of politics and regulation around its use

Elevator pitch: Picture your standard turn of the century immigrant New York coming of age story: All Of A Kind Family or An American Tail. Now imagine that in this world, magic is real, and much like any valuable tool, there's a whole lot of laws and discrimination governing who can use it and how. Sacha can see magic, and is immediately pressed into service helping an investigator. He's thrust into a deadly world of politics, labor rights, organized crime, and strange new magic technologies that threaten everything Sacha holds dear.

The Inquisitor's Tale by Adam Gidwitz

When?: 1242

Fantasy element?: 3 magical children and their holy dog

Elevator pitch: The Middle Ages were weirder than even comedy has led us to believe, and this book taps into the stories and history of the era. Many people in an inn take turns telling tales of three children with superpowers (one super strong, one gifted with visions, and one healing) and their dog (who's a saint). Somehow these unexpected friends made an enemy of King Louis IX, and the road to get there (and how it resolves) is unpredictable, playful, yet grounded in a solid context of medieval history and literature.

Deephaven by Ethan M. Aldridge

When?: the Great Depression

Fantasy elements?: A boarding school full of occult secrets.

Elevator pitch: Nev Tallow receives an invitation to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere that no one has ever heard of, but it's the Great Depression and options are limited. Mysteries soon abound--the prefects aren't quite right, the classes include occult languages, and nobody's supposed to talk about the collapse that killed a student last year...despite the wing where they supposedly died still standing. They're going to get to the bottom of this with help from their friends, even if they have to take on a monster with nothing but a fencing foil and some barely-understood spells. The first in a series!

Ophie's Ghosts by Justina Ireland

When?: the 1920s (particularly the Great Migration)

Fantasy elements?: ghosts

Elevator pitch: Ophelia first starts seeing ghosts after her father is murdered in an act of racial violence. Now she works with her mother in an old manor in Pittsburgh, dealing with the racist lady of the house. And the ghosts. Ophie becomes determined to help one of them, but the price--and the secrets buried with her--may destroy the fragile life her mother has made.

Young Adult (13+)

Lovely War by Julie Berry

When?: World War I

Fantasy element?: A peanut gallery made up of half the Greek pantheon

Elevator pitch: Hephaestus catches Ares and Aphrodite cheating in his net, so to teach them all about love, Aphrodite launches into the stories of four young adults caught in WWI, torn between their ambitions, their pasts, and love. Other gods drop in and out to put in their two cents, and on occasion they influence the story in mortal guise.

The Shadow War by Lindsay Smith

When?: World War II

Fantasy element?: Mysterious shadow magic that grants visions and can tear people apart.

Elevator pitch: Picture Inglorious Basterds but some of the ultraviolence is from extremely horrifying shadow magic. It's a roaring rampage of gay, Jewish, Black, and Algerian teens and young adults avenging themselves on Nazis and keeping them from acquiring the power of Eldritch horrors beyond our world. It's a tough balance to get right tonally, but imo they made it cathartic instead of trivializing.

If you have any questions about any of these, message me, shoot me an ask, or comment!

[thatscarletflycatcher]

My brain has decided to suddenly remind me of a classic that I'd bet good money most Latam millennials remember, and I'll regale you all with... José Luis Perales' America! (you are welcome :P :p :P )

America

You smell to me of merengue and bolero, Of aguardiente and coffee; You smell to me of corrido and charango, Carnavalito and honey; You smell to me of rattles and guitars, Of lonely gaucho and savannah; Of tanned skin and salt. You smell to me of cinnamon and bananas, Always wounded and always mistreated, Dreaming of freedom.

America! America! You smell to me of guava, Of frozen mountain range, Of green earth and tropical rain; You smell to me of prairie and of everlasting Spring, You smell to me of future and freedom.

You smell to me of tobacco and peanuts, Of dates and of rice; You smell to me of immigrants that left singing a song. You smell to me of torrent and ravine, Of peasant blood spilled for your freedom You smell to me of woman in love, Always dear and always abandoned, Dreaming by the sea.

America! America! ...

The Gentleman Thief

Original Character | FC: Pedro Pascal

Threads | Headcanons | Aesthetics | Open Starters

NAME: Gabriel Luis Herrán

AGE: in his 40s

SPECIES: human

PROFESSION: thief, con-man

Short Bio

For the first nine years of his life, Gabriel, son of Chilean immigrants building a life in California, had a sheltered and happy childhood. Though when his parents died, he and his older brother were left at the mercy of the foster care system and got quickly separated. Gabriel was difficult to place, handed from foster parents to foster parents and back into the orphanage. Every set back made him more rebellious, and he quickly realised he's alone in this world and if he wanted to survive he had to take what he needed.

Forward a couple years, Gabriel - or most recently 'Diego' - makes a living as a professional thief. He's pulled a couple of heists that gave the police a mighty headache, and made enemies in all sorts of places.

FACE CLAIM: Pedro Pascal

STYLE: Gabriel doesn't have his own style, he's used to playing roles and those roles have certain styles. He can be the inconspicuous everyman or wear expensive clothes and pretend to be high society. When he's by himself however he usually only wears a t-shirt and briefs, less commonly jeans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

NSFW

Gabriel is romantically and sexually attracted to men, and a romantic to boot. He will woo his partner like there is no tomorrow, and though he will go to great lengths to keep his true identity as a thief a secret, he would absolutely switch sides for the right man.

Bonus points for muses with the following face claims: Oscar Isaac, Wagner Moura, Ethan Hawke, Diego Luna

uhhhhh the josé gang ig lmao

uhhhh the leader: José, self explanatory.

Joselyn(couldnt think of a better name srry😓):José's clone thats basically a female version of him and is a lesbian as opposed to José being a boykisser. she occasionally acts as the straight man to josé's wise guy.

Peanut José: A joke OC I made thats well...a mix of José and peanut sans, although now i seperated and expanded her character a little more bc i thought she was a pretty flat character. she is ageless but is mentally a 12 year old and is also José's stupid adopted daughter who...lives in her own world. (fun fact: shes transfem and agender^w^)

CHiBi J0SÉ: José's inner self(idk how to describe it basically think of sakura from naruto who also has an inner self) that is extremely chaotic and has a stupidly oversized head and is crosseyed(it's eyes move like those googly eye things) and is now seperated from José. It is by far the most hammiest and stupidest member who only communicates via yelling and screaming and is also based off of chibidoki design wise. and is also the most shortest member by being 2'11 if you dont count his big ass head(i hc josé 2 be 6'5, joselyn is also 6'5, peanut is 4'11, josé anon has an average height and is 5'7 unlike jose and joselyn) AND ALS0 TYPEZ LiKE THiS

And last but definitely the least is, José Anon. You obviously know who he is bc hes literally just an anon that simps for José despite the latter finding him extremely annoying and will scream at you if you say that he looks like a Homestuck character. He's the zoidberg of the group and literally has zero rizz. but you obviously know that

Alejandro is probably so sad that there are 5 Josés now.

I love this I love you
