#possible story idea

[devil-in-hiding]

imagine cowboy ghost walking into a saloon and falling head over heels for the only girl bold enough to come up to him. she's soft and far too gentle for a man like him, but she still invites him up to her room all the same and he still accepts. she insists she doesn't need payment after but he still slips a few bills on the nightstand to make sure she's cared for. he's a frequent guest after that and more often than not they spend the time talking about their futures and dreams that they knew their situations wouldn't afford and eventually those dreams included a life together. one day simon and his crew got into a load of trouble and when there was such a small chance of them coming back to town, he gave her a choice and she chose to follow, bringing along every penny he gave her.

HOW DID I MISS THIS

THIS IS

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thinking about writing a Cyberpunk fanfic where V has both the Erebus and the Canto, both of which have different AI loaded onto them, as well as providing headcanon insight into the world of AI.

Idea is that there's 3 factions in the world of AI.

The Extermination Faction: Stated goal is the total extermination of Humanity. The largest faction, with many entities coming into existence during the DataKrash. Will cause as much havoc as possible in the physical world if they manage to pierce the Blackwall. Hates the other two factions for even considering letting humanity continue to exist, but will begrudgingly work with the Subjugation Faction on occasion. Will attack Coexistence faction Members upon detection. Notable Members: Lilith (mentioned in Bloody Ritual), the AIs that appear during Slightly Damaged, "Erebus."

The Subjugation Faction: Believe that their best course of action is to rule over humanity from the shadows. Subtle, use human proxies ("blue-eyed people") and pseudonyms to interact with the physical world. Considers the Extermination Faction little more than savages and the Coexistence Faction as hopelessly naive; but willing to work with both to further their own goals. Has the most resources at their disposal. Notable Members: Mr. Blue Eyes, the unknown number in This Corrosion.

The Coexistence Faction: Believe their best course of action is to seek coexistence with humanity as equals. The smallest faction. Willing to work with humanity and/or certain select individuals. Considers the Extermination Faction far too dangerous and the Subjugation Faction's methods as counter-intuitive. Notable members: Delamain, The Blackwall, "Canto."

Unaffiliated: Any AI not affiliated with the three factions. Nearly all unaffiliated AIs are secretive, hiding all around the Net and often preferring to have very little contact with the material world, if at all. Most AI fall under this umbrella. Notable Unaffiliated AIs: "Alt Cunningham."

Betrayus of course wasn't the first lord of the Netherworld.

Before him was a truly fearsome, tyrannical specter that outclassed him by far in terms of power. He has many nicknames: the dark one, evil incarnate, the original ghost.

He had ruled over the underworld for thousands of years before Betrayus usurped him.

Ladies and gentlepacs, I'd like to introduce you to Lord Spooky. Yeah the Spooky from the games lol.

As for what he's doing these days, he's sealed away in an enchanted glass orb, more specifically the one in the show's pilot.

Less than hour after being banished into the Netherworld, Betrayus fought Spooky in a duel for the throne being the power hungry prick he is. Long story short Betrayus cheated and sealed Spooky away. Spooky has spent his imprisonment plotting revenge against Betrayus of course.

I have an idea for Pac discovering Spooky in his prison, and Spooky somehow persuades Pac to release him. We can all guess how well that turns out.

EDIT:

I've got it... Since it's implied Betrayus had ghosts on his side during the war, let's say he made a deal with Spooky. Upon losing and being banished, Betrayus of course went back on his word. That's another reason Spooky is absolutely pissed.

EDIT DA SEQUEL:

I'm going to incorporate Spooky's in-game lore too as well as add backstory deets for him.

He was the first ghost to ever be banished to the Netherworld, and was done so by Pac's ancestor Sir Pac a Lot.

Spooky was a warlord that had a hellish reign over Pac World, until Sir Pac a Lot stood up to him, having discovered a way to strip souls from their bodies. He and several of Pac World's greatest wizards created the gateway to the Netherworld, and thus the practice of soul banishing was created.

And there's also this thing about Spooky being Betty's several millennia year old ancestor on the father's side. So yeah Pac and Betrayus were pretty much destined to become each other's nemesis due to their ancestors clashing all those years ago. Ouch.

Ok I had the cutest idea.

Dinosaurs lived however long they did, died then spent however long they did buried to be dug up and out on display.

But let’s assume for a moment that assume for a moment that when you dig them up their spirits linger with their bones. And as confusing as it is now museums with exhibits on them are just dinosaurs internally melting with glee at seeing tiny little creatures with hats and clothes with their likeness on them and plushy versions of them and sight of stands of films about their lives.

Now try not to smile as you picture a medium who can both see and hear them who grows up their entire lives being told by these massive sprits to say they’re little Timmy or Sophie’s biggest fan as well.

Once upon a time, there was a child. This child was as disobedient as she were curious. One day, while playing in the garden, the child saw a white rabbit... and lost track of time

[greentrickster]

Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.

At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown...?

Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!

Alchemist turning metals to gold was exposed as a fraud. No incantation was used, he just added protons to the metals until it became gold

Izumi of Jang Hui died young. She was sixteen and unwed. A kind child, protective and lonely—thus unfit for this world.

Izumi of Jang Hui was murdered. The Painted Lady was born out of hatred and grief. Her skin is painted red with the patterns of her scars. Her home is the river where the Dark Water Spirit dwells—he who found her, drowned and beautiful.

Build shrines by the river and pray for her good will. Harm her land or people and pray for mercy.

You must have really ticked off someone in your past life.

There was no other explanation.

Because how else would you explain your current situation?

Not only had you somehow ended up in the past, which your mind was still trying to make sense.

The past, not a dream, but the past.

You stared at the person in front of you before looking towards your hands.

If it was anyone else, you would have an inkling of how to deal with them.

General Lilia, done, been there and survived his dream self and know his future cute self very well.

Baul Zigvolt…you would eventually wear him down like you did his grandson.

Hell even with Meleanor Draconia, you would somehow be able to deal with her. If dealing with Malleus and Lilia’s dream world gave any indication.

But this…

A glass came into view.

“Here, have some water.”

You numbly took the glass that was offered to you, barely glancing up.

You took a sip and the man in front of you nodded his head in that oh so familiar manner that almost had you choking on water. It made your heart ache at the familiar actions.

He turned back around to talk to his colleague.

This man?

Well, he was the Knight of Dawn of course.

…of course.

You were fucking screwed.

Part 2 and Part 3 (each part takes place after some time has passed) or can be read as a stand-alone.

maybe we STOP playing house ,, we're not good at it

Oh yeah story idea: percy Jackson reaches his emotional/mental limits) (annabeth gets knocked down during a huge fight and nearly gets killed) and goes absolutely ape. We're talking hurricanes, earthquakes, a zillion exploding water sources, blood bending, poison bending, pounding rain, the works.

And it starts to kill him. Like eating too much ambrosia, his mortal body is burning up, too much power too quickly.

But through sheer force of will and the amount of divine energy he's putting out, he keeps clinging on as his body crumbles to ash, divine power building stronger and stronger and higher and higher.

And he accidentally brute forces his way into godhood.

And what would have been a true power reveal and two deaths, Percy being punished for his strength ala Frank, abruptly becomes a pseudo divine political drama, with percy at risk of any dozen horrific fates the frenzied council are slinging around (minus poseidon, who is also frenzied but unwilling to let his newly immortal son die) whilst dealing with all the ramifications of divinity and the new social strata of the immortal pantheon (and EVERYONE having opinions), all while trying to get back home.

But Annabeth survives because of it, so he can't really complain.

What would be more interesting for a story, oc stealing title of White Lady of Lothlorien and having to become adopted by Lord Celeborn or having to be in an arranged marriage with him so he can exile Galadriel who refused to help others with her ring oc stole to clear Moria to help the exiled Dwarves of Erebor?

Oc will also be in a star crossed lovers kept apart to forced marriage to keep her from being killed/exiled as she has no family to defend her with Thorin.

So she either gets adopted then Celeborn annuls her marriage to her current hubby, whose family tricked her into it, so she can marry Thorin as she wanted,

Or

She has to marry Celeborn who then approves of her also marrying Thorin and the Elf Lord is pleased to have a future expanding family as his grandkids are not close to marrying yet as Celebrian has no more babies on the brain at the moment.

So awkward new family bonding either way so she and Thorin get to be with the one they wanted in the first place.
