the book is a nerd loser with huge thick glasses. teacher's pet. curious and talkative but a bit of a wimp. easily picked on

the propeller is so normal and a great kid. nothing bad has happened to him yet. he May accidentally give someone a whack if they're too close but no harm meant!! braces guy

the oars are bffs :) their clothes are based on the outfits japanese schoolchildren wear, and without them on i think there's a classic 'can't tell them apart' situation, despite one being inverted lmao. they're identical, obviously, it's impossible to know which is which if they're not wearing their little clothes!!!!

the beast of gevaudan is just a puppy. just a puppy and he is so excitable. he likes to hold people's hands in his mouth when he's with them but uhhh his teeth are Sharp Already! he goes around digging and sniffing and being cute. ruff life

we all know and love tha devil. he's a regular Dennis The Menace. troublemaker for the attention. likes to scare his classmates. starter of trashcan fires.

Head empty... Just having thoughts of an AU centered around Apartment Ghost!Gojo... 👻👻👻 So take my imagines...

✨ masterlist ✨

»» Ghost!Gojo = Casper the Friendly Ghost... It doesn't stop him from being a fucking menace day in and day out though.

»» Ghost!Gojo has been dead and buried for 6 months.

»» Ghost!Gojo haunts an apartment occupied by a single mom with two kids: one elementary kid and a toddler.

»» Imagine how fucking creepy and unsettling it is to find your toddler talking to empty air, and when you ask them, they look back at you with big innocent eyes and that big cheeky grin, and they start babbling about their "imaginary friend".

»» Creepy, but the mom dismisses it at first, chalking it up to childish imagination running wild, but when the older sibling casually asks about a tall white-haired man hanging around the apartment living room at dinner, Mom is starting to get concerned. Couple this with the fact that her toddler is giggling at odd hours during the night, while the room is empty. 

»» Eventually, Ghost!Gojo makes his presence known to the mom... And he's all smiles and being his usual goofy self while he's waving -- as if it isn't unsettling to have a dead fucking person hanging out in your home.

»» It took a while, but I like to think, the mom warms up to Ghost!Gojo being around after a couple of months. He doesn't show himself frequently to Mom because he freaks her out, but it doesn't stop Ghost!Gojo from being her toddler's playmate and her older kid's study buddy.

»» As time passed, they got so comfortable living with the ghost that mom and her kids forget that Ghost!Gojo is not actually alive and he doesn't show himself to other people, except for them.

»» After they get so used to him and comfortable with him being around, think of Ghost!Gojo as a very very friendly and chaotic poltergeist. He doesn't destroy things (at least when he does, he doesn't mean to). He's very nice... He just does annoying shit. For instance...

»» Ghost!Gojo likes to dig around the kitchen cupboards for candy and leaves the doors open just to annoy the older sibling and leave the mom exasperated. They leave out a bowl of candy for him in the living room after that, hoping it would discourage his behavior, but nope... It's still Gojo, and he does what he wants.

»» Ghost!Gojo also pranks the mom and moves things around in the kitchen to confuse her. The first time he did it, she got scared. A few more times, she got so annoyed. But after like the umpteenth time, the mom just rolls her eyes, like, "Haha, very funny, Satoru! I'm getting stuff from the laundry room, and this kitchen better be sorted when I get back."

»» Mom has definitely threatened to call 'ghostbusters' on Satoru's ass multiple times, and Gojo thinks it's hilarious. She never actually does anything to drive him away. To be honest, she quite likes the fact that her kids have a babysitter when she has to work late... Even if said babysitter is a wandering spirit.

»» On that note, Ghost!Gojo takes his babysitting duties seriously, and proclaims himself the best babysitter ever!

»» Ghost!Gojo does all the typical things people do to entertain toddlers. He talks to her toddler, entertains them, makes them laugh, tickles them, slips candies in their lap, picks up toys and disappears from view to give the toddler a fun puppet show -- with all the floating toys and shit.

»» The older sibling actually saw him doing this one time when they slipped into their younger sibling's room, and they just had to laugh, because who would have thought their family of three would be lucky enough to move into an apartment haunted by a very friendly ghost.

»» Ghost!Gojo helps mom cook sometimes, fetching her ingredients from the pantry and stuff. If a normal person were in that kitchen, all they would see are floating ingredients. It's enough to give anyone a heart attack, but for mom and her 2 kids, it's just Satoru.

»» One time, the older sibling invited their friends over and one of their friends got the idea to play with a Ouija board after the older sibling joked about the apartment being haunted.

»» They play with the ouija board, and Satoru plays into it for fun. Pre-teen kid's friends are terrified, but the pre-teen kid is amused as hell, because they know it's just Gojo.

»» When the friends go home, they tell the pre-teen kid about how much fun they had, and pre-teen kid thanks Ghost!Gojo for being kind enough to play along.

»» Ghost!Gojo has a habit of collecting coins.

»» Ghost!Gojo has never actually tried leaving the confines of the apartment before, but the pre-teen kid asks and they actually figure it out together.

»» They had so much fun doing it too... Ghost!Gojo figures out a way to possess random objects so the pre-teen kid can take him anywhere.

»» That being said, Ghost!Gojo has possessed the most ridiculous things. Think Ghost!Gojo possessing laundry detergent, the coffee table, the toilet paper, etc. He possessed the oven once and it broke, and the mom got so mad, so Ghost!Gojo steers clear of possessing electronic devices from then on.

»» Ghost!Gojo helps the kids surprise their mom during holidays... e.g., Mother's Day, Christmas, etc. For obvious reason, the family starts loving Halloween, because Ghost!Gojo loves it so much.

»» The toddler starts calling Ghost!Gojo 'Papa'.

»» It warms moms heart and hurts her at the same time. 

»» Because Satoru Gojo would have made a wonderful father.

»» Ghost!Gojo sometimes wishes he was still alive so he could court mom properly...

»» And since he can't do anything about the fact that he's dead (a ghost for practically one year now), all he can do now is watch over them and make them as happy as possible...

»» Ghost!Gojo promises to stay for as long as he can, for as long as he is permitted.

»» Ghost!Gojo gets to see the kids grow up, move out, and he gets to see mom grow old too...

»» It breaks his heart to watch the people he's grown to care about grow old, while he stays frozen in time, haunting this little apartment forever.

»» Eventually, mom had to say 'goodbye', deciding she wanted to move to the countryside. It wasn't an easy decision...

»» The kids, now adults, return to their childhood apartment to help mom move away, and although Ghost!Gojo rarely shows himself these days, he appears one last time.

»» Unsurprisingly, leaving the place behind is hard. Every time they look back on their childhood, it's undeniably brighter and more colorful, and it's all because of the beloved ghost who made their lives so much brighter because of his presence.

»» Ghost!Gojo was their 'Dad,' 'Older Brother', 'Fun Uncle', and 'Annoying Roommate'. He's worn so many hats as the kids grew up.

»» Satoru doesn't stop them from moving away, only thanking them for showing him what it would have been like for him if he had been lucky enough to grow old with kids of his own. He never had that in his life, but he's glad that he got to have that even after he'd died.

»» He doesn't know how long he's sentenced to wander the earthly plains, but he promises to see them around.

»» The younger sibling actually cries and wishes that he was their dad for real.

»» The mom, now old but still sweet and kind, thanks Ghost!Gojo for being part of their family.

It was goodbye...

Gojo: I'm sad and forever bound to an apartment building.

Also Gojo: I will terrorize the next dweller if they're a dick.

The next occupant is an asshole who cheats on his significant other... Ghost!Gojo is making their life hell.

I kind of want to write a fic about this now 🥴

[deusvervewrites]

AU where Izuku has the quirk Deku - or to be specific, a wooden puppet quirk.

Midoriya is born with mutations very similar to Kamui Woods'. He has wooden skin and leafy hair, and his body does actually resemble a doll with joints and everything. However, his Quirk is actually an Emitter Quirk; nobody has realized it yet.

His childhood plays out much like canon, nickname and everything. After all, it's not exactly the most offensive Quirk, seemingly. However, while Bakugou "Insecurities Georg" Katsuki is still as mean as ever, the rest of Aldera are far more fond of Midoriya since, well, he has a Quirk. Especially since Kamui Woods himself would've debuted around the time Midoriya is 5.

When Midoriya is... let's say eleven, late into Elementary School, he stumbles and drops something. Maybe it was a pencil, maybe it was lunch. What's important is that he caught it with a series of strings that manifested from his hands, suspending the thing in midair.

Midoriya thinks that's cool as hell since it's kind of similar to Kamui Woods which means he totally can be a Hero. And, while experimenting with the Quirk around the house, he accidentally snags Inko with it. This is how he discovers that he can manipulate objects attached to his strings. Though, he prefers using this ability on inanimate objects over people.

While Midoriya compares his puppet strings to Arbor, it's actually much closer in function to Blackwhip, being an Emitter Quirk useful for both restraint and mobility.

Appleblossom headcanons because I'm delusional~💕:

(These are for my human AU but most can apply for their puppet versions)

•Julie was a cheerleader in high school and was very popular, unfortunately, most people only thought of her as a bimbo :(((

•Wally on the other hand wasn't that popular but was well-liked by everyone. A lot of people had a crush on him~

•Julie's siblings don't like Wally very much 😭 not because they have something against him or anything, they're just super overprotective of Julie! They tolerate him though

•Wally picked up gardening from Julie! Occasionally his plants die though he's gotten so much better at taking care of them. He's patiently waiting for his apple tree to grow

•Julie speaks Spanish fluently. She wanted to learn Spanish when she started dating him. It was a bit hard for her but with the help of Wally she got the hang of it~

•Wally works as an art teacher at an elementary school. He's really good with kids, all the moms love him ;) (not that he cares, he only has eyes for his beloved Julie)

•Julie has a thing for high-heeled shoes!!! She really enjoys the ‘clacking’ sound they make

•Wally sleep talks, boy was Julie not thrilled to be awoken up by Wally's “I'm sleeping” the first time they shared a bed. She's gotten used to it by now~

•Julie is really flirty! She's loud and confident when she flirts with Wally but she also turns into a hot mess whenever he flirts back! He sure knows how to make a girl swoon

•Wally has an ungodly amount of paintings in his home of Julie he painted way before they started dating, he only ever gave her his best work

•Julie is not good at baking, she either tends to spill the batter or burn them. However it's appreciated whenever they DO turn out good, the house smells delightful

•Julie owns a hair salon and works as a hairdresser. She's the one to cut Wally's hair because he doesn't trust anyone else to do it

•Wally is very good at playing baseball, he's usually the pitcher since he has an incredibly good aim. Julie finds it attractive~

•Wally has painted Julie while drunk (hard apple cider), tbh it turned out awful but it's the intention that counts…🫶🏽💕

•Julie stims whenever Wally kisses her, especially on her hand, she's overcome with joy!

•#1 wife guy. You cannot tell me Wally isn't a Malewife

•When Wally first met Julie he was really disappointed to see how close she was with Frank and assumed they were dating. Turns out that was just a front and that she was single (the horrors of comphet)

•I hc their normal or puppet versions to be married! Their human versions are not (currently just dating)

•They occasionally call each other ‘Walliford’ and ‘Juliet’ as a joke

•Wally keeps small lamps inside his home on at all times because he knows Julie is afraid of the dark

•Julie thinks Wally is totally eye candy (she's right 🙏🏽), he knows this but it means so much more when it comes from her. She flatters him too much!

•Wally likes to kiss Julie from her hand all the way up to her shoulder like Morticia and Gomez, with a loud ‘muah’ ofc

•Julie's hair isn't actually her hair (well not all of it), she wears wigs/extensions and copious amounts of hairspray. Her actual hair is less big

[bird-likes-to-fandom]

@cam-stopped-eating-candles your elementary au has me in a chokehold. Anyway, here's the idea I had for Jane's catchphrase where she acts it out in a little puppet theater with stuffed animals and finger puppets as a sort of call back to legoland!! I also just wanted to draw little Jane with stuffed animals tbh

[red-riveria]

FUCK IT. THE AUTISM WON. CRASHBOX AU.

Scott finds a green box that says it’s a game. Wanting to play it he tries to plug it into every sing one of his consoles but nothing seems to work. It’s not until he begrudgingly plugs it into his PC does the box’s sliding case open and he blacks out. He wakes up in a crowded, rusty, hot and steam filled factory, and is told by a robotic employee that he needs to test the games. Unfortunately for him these games have all his friends trapped inside. Now Scott has to use his brain to beat the games and free his friends who have all lost their memories. Unfortunately he’s not very good at it. Oh well. Better luck next time!

Designs under the cut

Steel Wool: Ten 2nds

He has two forms. His host form which is him in a radical 90s surfer outfit. And his voice form where he’s just the word wool but it looks like it’s made out of steel. He shows up all the damn time and no one likes it.

Liza Lottsenheimer: Mugshots

Terry Lesketchler: Sketch Pad

Yes he has a goatee. A small one. But one nonetheless

Jebbie Bull: Eddie Bull

My poor guy Jeb keeps getting eaten. “Jebbie Bull he’s edible—“

Jumpin’ Rex’in Rumble: Radio Scramble

Like the show he has no legs. His body cuts off at the torso and is bolted to a swivel set in his radio station room. Also like the show, he is a sentient microphone.

Professor Rocket: Psycho Math

Jerry goes by Professor Rocket and he’s crazy. He likes to explode his head. Also his body is made up of math symbols, metal and different mathematical equipment like rulers, protractors and graph paper. Loves to yell and ramble.

Target Ensmarmee: Distraction News!

He’s entirely made out of paper. He’s a paper puppet. His mouth is a cutout that stiffly moves up and down to simulate lip flaps. His voice is a monotone TV anchor voice and his eyes are soulless and never blink. He is always holding a piece of paper but he never looks down at it. He only looks forward. When the lights turn off at the end of the show he simply sits there in the dark, staring into space.

Factory Worker Scott: He’s the robot that puts the games in the machines and fixes the power outages

The only one of the group that has his memories. He’s called “Rust Bucket” and “Rookie” by the other factory workers. Worried about his friends and tries to snap them out of it but it never works. He’s tasked with testing all the games to make sure they’re working right. Extremely stressed and freaking out. Is also terrible at solving these elementary level math and riddles. His first reaction to realizing he’s an entirely rusted robot was shock and horror followed by “oh my god I’m just like Chibi Robo.”

[sanrio-gyal]

high school sasodei au?

I BEEN WAITING ON THIS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Okay first…. I have a lot so this is just one of them. I’ll post another one later.

Sasori is well weird. Bro is just weird. Yeah that’s all to it. Bringing a puppet to school in high school. Yeah bros weird.

Deidara is just as socially awkward but instead of being quiet and shutting himself off like Sasori….he’s loud and always causing problems and doesn’t understand social cues.

Both are in very different friend groups. It would be unlikely for them to speak to each other but Deidara merges with every friend group.

They became “friends” during elementary school. Deidara yanked Sasori from being a loner and introduced him to his (without Sasori’s consent)

Sasori pretends he doesn’t care about Deidara and “their friendship” but without him he feels lost and….lonely. He will never admit it but he enjoys Deidara’s company.

Deidara was the first one to catch feelings. It turned into a crush then infatuation…

Sasori can see he clearly has a crush on him but doesn’t know to feel about it so he pretends to be oblivious.

Deidara is terrible at school. He’s very intelligent but he has no interest in the lessons. The only thing he’s passing, is physics, gym, and art.

Sasori tries to help him in school but Deidara is a lost cause.

Sasori only talks to Deidara and occasionally Itachi, kakuzu, and konan but he feels most comfortable with Deidara. Probably because Deidara is far worse than him so he doesn’t care what he thinks.

Deidara is kicked out his classroom at least once a week. Sasori sometimes catches him sitting outside of the classroom. Sometimes he gives him company and sometimes he decides Deidara needs to be in timeout 😭

Deidara is invited to parties and he always brings Sasori with him even if he’s not invited. He thinks it’ll bring Sasori out of his shell but instead Sasori feels worse.

They’ve been around for each other so long that they understand each other with one look. Which sometimes gets them in trouble. Sasori will look at Deidara and Deidara will start laughing.

Deidara is always quick to defend Sasori. Bro has definitely gotten in fights because someone insulted his boyfriend. 🙄 and Sasori always has to take him to the nurse.

Sasori’s ass do not be defending himself. Mostly because he has music blaring in ear and he doesn’t care. Deidara hears a whisper about Sasori and punches them.

The entire school can see they’re gay asf except them.

Sasori defends Deidara in a more quiet way. He isn’t out and open about it but he will cause damage and ruin someone’s life in secret. He doesn’t do it every time someone insults Deidara though. If it really made Deidara upset then he might act on it…might

Deidara does not have a tough skin at all. He gets offended at everything. The thing is that he insults everything.

Deidara moved his lunch so it can be with Sasori’s. They usually sit in the courtyard and talk. Well, it’s most Deidara talking and Sasori nodding his head.

They both avoid school dances and usually spend that time playing video games at an arcade. They would get asked out and still say no because bros over hoes.

I think girls eventually stopped trying to ask either one out seeing how obsessed each one is with the other. Almost all the girls know…”don’t ask out the blond and redhead. They’re gay for each other”

Deidara sees all the rest of the Akatsuki dating then wonders why he doesn’t get asked out even though he turns down every girl. “You’re cute but not my type, hm.” Yeah your type is men 🙄 girls try to figure out his type and bro just starts saying shit 💀. Like dark hair, tan skin, red lipstick, etc. he has no idea what he wants.

When Sasori is asked out he assumes it’s a joke and just glares at them. They’re too scared to approach him so they leave him notes to which he throws away. Deidara finds them cute and reads them out loud to Sasori.

Deidara attends all of Sasori’s violin recitals and practices and Sasori attends all of Deidara’s soccer matches. Deidara always tries to find him a crowd. It’s kind of a good luck thing. And he always makes sure to wave at Sasori before his performance 🥺😭

They only really get along because they’re both rude and crass. People get offended by the way they talk which is why talking to each other is more enjoyable since they understand the way the other talks.

Sasori sometimes refuses to talk and just goes mute. There has been a time where Sasori just refused to talk for several months. Deidara had to pretty much interpret how Sasori felt or wanted to say. Sasori would sometimes speak but only to Sasori. He later got diagnosed.

Deidara sometimes has outbursts and adults often have a hard time understanding how he feels or why he’s acting out. Sasori is best at understanding how Deidara feels and the best at comforting him when he’s frustrated.

They don’t start dating till Deidara’s a junior and Sasori’s a senior honestly because they were confused with how they felt.

They’ve been really close since they were friends but when they start dating they all of a sudden get awkward 😭

They tell the Akatsuki and everyone just stares at them. Because they thought they’ve been dating.

They both get embarrassed with the tiniest contact as of the last year before Deidara wasn’t clinging to sasori’s arm everywhere they went.

They’re the most stable couple at the school even though they’re weirdos and at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Thank you for the ask 🥺😭💗 I love when people ask about my au’s and headcanons 🤭💗💗

[spotsupstuff]

If it’s alright with you, I’d love to hear more about your version of Chasing Wind! I absolutely love the idea of half the city being inside their can, and all the cool stuff in the surrounding area, and her design!

awww shit i don't have MANY Wind thoughts she's mostly in the bg. but i'm gon try n scramble for smth for u, captn

to her design, a few small facts! they are the iterator who's design has probably changed the least since i've first made one for them two years ago

her design is HEAVILY inspired by @/inkycorvid, especially the earrings!!! praised be the elder sage for big brain design thoughts

her current outfit is based off of the Rattanakosin dress of Thailand! (simplified to hell n back cuz gods i do have to limit myself Somehow with this kinda stuff else my hand goes caput 🙏. i still have yet to really get the outfit down properly tbh)

the city being half within them and their citizens genuinely loving them lead to Wind becoming SOMETHING of a teacher to the side of her main jobs as an Iterator. this is mostly the case because i sent this vid to shkika sayin "my Wind vibes" and she replied with

so now i'm fucked up about it, because this fucca -points at the screenshot- is SO right about that, that WOULD happen. Wind is SO fuckin excited about teachin kids funky stuff like that. Full of Energy

their holy characterization formula is "good-looking jolly young teacher in either kindergarten or first few years of elementary school who knows martial arts" she looks like an absolute sweetheart but can put a man into an involuntary nap with singular karate chop. like she's still a pushover but at some point the hands start flyin

a city within the iterator is practically unheard of

Wind LOVES their interjections. like every other sentence is gonna have an "oh!" "ah!" "hah!" or smth of the like in it. i didn't headcanon this on purpose she just started doing it herself in her dialogue so i guess that's her Thing now

their positive attitude towards everything ever and their love of kids brought them close to Nish. these two together in one room is like LED headlights on a car. they are so fucking bright you're gonna go blind within seconds

nobody knows how- least of all Suns- but Wind ended up growing very fond of and close to Suns. they converse theory and go through simulations together a lot, when Wind's communications aren't down because of the tornadoes. if this was one of those AUs where the iterators, as their puppets, just hang around, those two would be like constantly at each other's hip. often subconsciously. they are like that one fuckin char dynamic meme

[some nasty stuff under the cut. you have been warned- it's nothing Particularly graphic but the imagery is Not Fun]

Wind is like the only iterator who took Suns' degression into their Hot Girl Summer arc ""well"" cuz she's just tryin so so hard to be positive to the point of blinding herself to bad things completely later down the line. even Nish was wigged about The Hot Girl Summer arc. The Hot Girl Summer arc is Not A Good Thing

ignoring Suns' drama: Wind's voice gets shot at some point and as result it becomes reverbated. the reverbs get worse when she's in distress

[help-me-nah]

some backburner in-the-works potential fic excerpts/teasers! (+ some notes)

I. ghosthunting prequel

A prequel for that October oneshot where they’re all youtube paranormal investigators! All the backstory of Steve and the kids. Bonus: a little bit of Steve and Nancy, a lot of Steve and Jonathan. No Eddie though, bc prequel. Also me chewing on Steve a little, really beating that boy up. Make him cry, make him bleed. Also, probably the next one in the chamber after I get fantasy AU in order.

Sometimes Steve remembers that living in a town with a pretty obvious cult just outside it isn’t actually normal. But everyone in Hawkins has sort of gotten used to it.

The Eleventh Church of Stranded Souls keeps to themselves, and whenever one of their members comes into town for groceries or other supplies, they’re polite and cheerful and don’t say much about the apparent ‘our church can reconnect you with your lost loved ones and commune with the dead’ schtick that draws in new members. (At least, not unless they’re asked, and most of Hawkins chooses not to ask.)

Every couple months someone new drives through town on their way to join the church, and that’s when it’s sometimes a little jarring and weird. Some new arrivals will gush and weep about the church and how they hope it’ll change their life. Some seem far more skeptical, spending a few days in town, asking questions as if anyone in Hawkins knows anything about the cult and how real their claims are. But for all their skepticism, even those visitors often carry an air of desperation. Sometimes they’ll talk about who it is they want to contact. Sometimes they never say what they’re after, but everyone in Hawkins knows. And those same folks are the ones who provide Hawkins with the only answers they have for the next arrivals— they come, skeptical but desperate to talk to a deceased loved one. They visit the Eleventh Church. They return to Hawkins a few days later, teary and starry eyed. Very frequently they leave just long enough to pack up their previous lives, and then they pass through Hawkins once more on their way to join the church. The cult. Whatever.

Steve doesn’t think about it all that much. It’s a part of life in Hawkins, and high school’s a bitch, and Steve’s busy juggling his new relationship with Nancy Wheeler, and the funny feeling in his chest when spending time with her puts her in proximity with her fellow Hawkins Post intern Jonathan, and keeping his grades up enough to keep his father placated, and the weird tension with Tommy and Carol lately, and also how he’s somehow babysitting almost a half dozen kids these days, whose newest obsession is ghost hunting and have been bullying Steve into taking them to every abandoned house in Hawkins.

And yes, Tommy and Carol make fun of him for getting bullied by middle schoolers (and sometimes a single elementary school girl), but they aren’t trying to wrangle four middle schoolers (and the aforementioned elementary school girl). One middle schooler is a stress headache. Two middle schoolers is like trying to walk a tightrope while also walking two uncooperative dogs trying to go in two different directions. Three is a disaster. And four is a fucking hurricane. There’s no controlling that. You hold on for your fucking life and just focus your energy on making sure the stupid bullshit they do is non-lethal stupid bullshit. (Adding Erica to the mix is a whole different beast. Steve’s pretty sure every hour spent with all five takes years off his life. He’s rapidly aging like the puppets in that one movie Dustin insisted on showing him, that left Steve scarred, because Steve was expecting, like, Muppets, not skeletal bird men sucking the life out of bug-eyed Cabbage Patch dolls.)

II. a good old fashioned cliche concert violinist/rock star who are neighbors AU

I mean, what it says on the tin. I know many people have probably done it before, who are far better equipped than I am, but I’m having feelings about it. Pros: getting to play with a Steve who is spinning a lot of plates, still meeting his family’s high expectations but only just barely, everything right on the edge of falling apart. Also, bickering. Cons: To really get it off the ground (bc I’m nitpicky about accuracy but limited in time and energy) might require some help/notes/beta-ing from people whose musical expertise extends past my childhood of piano lessons.

Eddie and the guys have ordered delivery, and in the month and a half of living here Eddie has quickly learned that if you want your food hot, you better hang out in the apartment lobby and wait for it. Because while the little table for delivery in the vestibule (a term Eddie only knows courtesy of Dustin being a smartass) may be nice in theory, Eddie has found that almost every delivery driver, regardless of service, just drops the food there and fucks off without bothering to shoot a text or find the relevant name on the long list of buzzers, and you’ll find your food twenty minutes later, icy-cold.

So Eddie’s in the lobby, shooting the shit with Gareth and Jeff and Vernon, because “We’re here to hang out with you, man, we’ll come with,” and it really does help kill the time.

The elevator dings, and Eddie doesn’t pay it any mind until, “Hey! Asshole!” and he turns to see the pretty violinist from the fifth floor come out of it, scowling. He’s accompanied by the young woman Eddie sees him with more often than not (she’s gotta be a girlfriend, between the cohabitation and the joined-at-the-hip), and both of them are carrying their signature instrument cases.

“Is that bitchy neighbor?” Gareth asks under his breath.

“One and the same,” Eddie confirms, before turning back to the two classical musicians heading down the lobby.

“What can I do for you today, pretty boy?” Eddie drawls, because he knows it’ll piss the guy off.

The guy’s scowl deepens, but oddly enough, he stops as they reach the seating area, swings his violin case up onto one of the lobby couches and begins undoing the clasps.

“Oh my god, Steve,” his partner complains. (Steve, Eddie idly notes, which means pretty violinist is, as he suspected, also the piano tutor Dustin praises and complains about in the same breath.) “Murray is going to fucking kill us if we’re late for rehearsal again, you know that?”

“We’re already late,” pretty violinist— Steve— counters. “And last time was your fault so it’s my turn. I have a point to prove to a certain dickhead who said he’s got ‘no interest in keeping things down for the practice time of someone who can’t even shred.’”

“I just don’t think a prissy classical music snob can possibly understand my process,” Eddie drawls. “I don’t see why I gotta let you choke my sound, babe.”

Steve’s nose wrinkles, and Eddie smirks back at him.

“Oh my god,” groans Steve’s girlfriend. “Do you boys ever tire of all this fucking posturing? This is why I stick with girls.”

“Fuck off, that’s not why,” Steve retorts, hefting the violin to his shoulder and sticking his tongue out at her, and she cracks a smile.

Not a girlfriend then, Eddie notes. (Dangerous thing to think about, a smaller voice in his head chides himself. Pretty and cohabitating with a lesbian friend doesn’t mean available. Also he’s a huge bitch.)

And then Eddie doesn’t think much at all except oh fuck. Because pretty violinist Steve proceeds to play what might be the single most impressive rendition of the solo from Megadeth’s Tornado of Souls Eddie’s ever heard in his life, on his goddamn violin.

“Holy shit,” Jeff murmurs as Steve lowers his violin. “Damn, dude.”

And then Eddie gets to witness Steve’s smile, and it’s fucking radiant, jaw-dropping, overwhelming. And it’s fucking directed at Jeff. Eddie’s suddenly struck with the irrational desire to throttle one of his oldest and best friends.

“Thanks,” Steve says warmly to Jeff.

Then he turns back to Eddie, and his smile drops, and his voice drops back into a familiar acidity. “Fucking keep it down.” The clasps on his violin case snap shut in punctuation.

“Satisfied?” his partner asks drily, though a tiny smile twitches at the corner of her mouth.

“Yup,” Steve tells her cheerily. “We can go now.”

Eddie continues staring blankly after them as they head out of the apartment building. He slowly lowers himself into a chair.

“Oh no,” Eddie hears Gareth say, sounding distant, like Eddie’s hearing it through water.

“Is Eddie smitten?” Vernon laughs.

“I’m pretty sure Eddie’s fully in love,” Jeff says, sounding amused.

“I think that was the hottest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life,” Eddie says faintly.

III. Wayne & Ms. Mayfield

Canon-divergent where Eddie and Max share a hospital room and decide to set Wayne and Ms. Mayfield up. I know it’s a little tacky but also I think it could be fun and cute, and Eddie and Max dynamics are always good to write. Bonus of yet another variant on Harrington family dynamics, with some real old-money rich weirdness. Also, obviously, Max is using the setup to also try and set up Steve and Eddie.

“After you, miss,” Wayne says politely.

Ms. Mayfield laughs, ducking her head self-consciously.

“Haven’t been a ‘miss’ for a while now.”

“Could’ve fooled me.”

Eddie could swear Ms. Mayfield flushes a little.

“Forgive me for being nosy,” Wayne continues, “But I couldn’t help but notice your car’s been sitting out front your trailer lately,” Wayne continues. “Busted?”

Ms. Mayfield laughs again, this time weary, a little dry. “Thought it had a little more in it before it needed repairs, but guess I was wrong. And, with— well. Can’t exactly afford to fix it now.”

Wayne hums in understanding.

“Let me drive you to work?” he offers.

“Oh, no, I couldn’t—”

“Let me drive you,” he says a little more firmly. “If our kids are gonna be cohabitating, it’s the least I can do.” (“Ugh, come up with a more gross way to put that, will you?” Max complains, and both Wayne and Ms. Mayfield grin at her.)

“‘Sides,” Wayne tacks on, “The Hawkins bus ‘system’ is shit.” Ms. Mayfield laughs again at the sarcastic weight Wayne puts on ‘system,’ given that Hawkins has exactly one bus and two drivers.

(And Eddie’s sure as fuck taking note of how often that laughter’s happening in this conversation with Wayne).

“Pretty sure Mitch drinks on the job,” Wayne continues, “He’s gonna crash the damn thing one of these days. Won’t do anyone any good for you to end up in the hospital too.”

“Well,” Ms. Mayfield says, voice almost teasing, eyes crinkling with her smile, “I suppose if you put it that way.”

Eddie’s eyebrows climb his face.

“Well then,” Wayne says, “Like I said, after you, miss.” He glances back into the hospital room. “You three stay out of trouble for once, you hear me?”

“Yes, sir,” Steve says.

Max just rolls her eyes.

Eddie beams. “No promises!”

Wayne sighs, Ms. Mayfield laughs (again), and they exit into the hall.

Eddie and Max turn to each other in sync as the door swings shut.

“What was that?” Max asks, arching an eyebrow.

“Damn, Uncle Wayne,” Eddie says.

There’s a very long pause as they stare at each other.

“Your uncle’s a good guy, yeah?” Max says slowly, eyes narrowing in thought.

Eddie can’t help the grin that splits his face.

“The best,” he says.

“Mom hasn’t always had the best taste in men,” Max says. “She deserves someone who’ll treat her right.”

“Would be nice to know Wayne won’t be alone when I inevitably bounce from Hawkins for that rockstar lifestyle.”

“Oh my god,” Steve mutters from the corner.

“Don’t be a wet blanket, Stevie,” Eddie says brightly. “This is gonna be great.”

“You know you two can have your weird insufferable sibling energy without actually setting up your family, right?”

Eddie just sticks his tongue out at him, and Steve rolls his eyes.

“Sure,” Max agrees blithely, and her gaze flicks between Steve and Eddie. “But there’s some fucking matchmaking that needs to be done around here.”

(extra bonus excerpt, in part because I think this is the story least likely to happen, and because I desperately need this little snippet to make it somewhere even if the fic doesn’t:)

“Hey,” a raspy voice comes from the doorway, and Eddie almost doesn’t recognize it.

He blinks at Steve.

“The fuck is wrong with your voice?” Max says.

Steve laughs a little, low and rough, wincing just a little.

“Consequence of getting choked out so many times apparently,” he says. “It’s worse first thing in the mornings, and the doctors think long days or cold ones’ll probably bring it out too. Sounds like I smoke a fucking pack a day, huh?”

“Awful,” Max agrees, grimacing.

Eddie averts his eyes and stares at the ceiling and does not voice the little thought in the back of his head that thinks it’s kind of hot. It’s pretty fucked up. It’s a serious, possibly long-term side effect caused by some pretty brutal trauma, so it’s very inappropriate for his brain to think about how Steve’s voice sounds shredded in the way Eddie’s pretty familiar with after screaming metal lyrics at the top of his lungs for hours, in a way Eddie can imagine might result from other kinds of screaming. (And Eddie’s definitely got some wires crossed because the mental image of Steve at a metal concert, lips pressed to a mic, sweat shining under stage lights almost seems more obscene than sex.)

IV. superkids school

I can’t even say the actual premise of this or do a proper elevator pitch because that would spoil a (relatively early) twist. This one would be angsty. It was originally my ‘rotating my blorbos in my head and chewing on them’ brain fic so it’s very self-indulgent and very heavy on the hurt side of hurt/comfort. Lots of secrets, but counterpoint, getting a very flirty bitchy version of Steve. Still working out all the powers each kid would have, but Steve and Robin are the new hires at a Munson-run school for kids with superpowers. oH also, alive and well Chrissy and Barb!

“It’s not what I expected,” Steve says.

“Were you expecting some big dramatic manor, pretty boy?” an unfamiliar voice drawls, heavy with sarcasm. “A proper rich kid boarding school?”

Steve turns, and there’s no one who knows about the Munson Institute who wouldn’t recognize Eddie Munson—one of the first generation of students, nephew of the current institute head, highly anticipated to take over when Wayne Munson retires, the public face, and, despite the reputation and fame and scrutiny, any abilities he may have are somehow still a secret to the world.

He’s lounging casually against a doorframe, fiddling with a curl of his long dark hair, but despite the air of disinterest, there’s an air of skepticism and disdain in the curl of his mouth, the dark weight of his stare.

Steve bristles, folds his arms across his chest defensively.

“I mean, yeah, kind of,” he says, fighting to keep his voice level and polite. “You’ve managed to keep world governments, military factions, and international espionage at bay for nearly two decades now. So sue me for assuming you must have crazy resources and the facilities to match.”

Eddie Munson snorts, pushes off the doorframe.

“Nancy,” he says, “Come on. We’re really gonna go through with this? Ms. Buckley, absolutely, obviously.”

He turns to Robin with a wide grin, extends a hand. “Never got to learn a second language when my brain was all fresh and elastic, but we’ve been searching for ages for someone who can cover everything the kids wanna try, and your resume? Insane. Plus, I am very partial to music, but everyone’s been fussy that we need someone with proper band and orchestra training, and a wider range of instruments, and that I can’t just teach the kids metal and classic rock on guitar. So I was ready to throw a fucking fit if Murray’s absurd background check requirements didn’t clear for you.”

Robin shakes his hand and grins.

“I mean, I can definitely work in some metal. We can have some fun with Metallica on strings and brass for sure.”

Eddie laughs, delighted.

Then he turns to Steve and his brow arches and the smile turns into something more of a patronizing smirk.

“But do we really need a gym teacher? Let alone one so obviously prissy?”

“Excuse me?” Steve says.

“Eddie,” Nancy says, and Steve’s a little relieved to see that she seems as exasperated as he is, pinching the bridge of her nose. “Physical activity and team sports have been proven beneficial for child development. Just because you’re allergic to organized athletics doesn’t mean you get to take it out on our new hire, or pretend it wouldn’t be great for the children.”

“Nance,” Eddie says, pointing a finger at her, “I can say definitively, absolutely, from personal experience, that gym is quite the opposite of ‘beneficial’ for children’s development.”

And Steve can’t help himself.

“I mean, sorry you always got picked last in gym, Munson,” he scoffs, gratified to see the way Eddie Munson startles, “but even if I wanted to replicate a traditional gym class, which I don’t, it would literally be impossible, because it’s a class of seven children, with superpowers. The day you show me someone who can make an ordinary gym class work with that is the day I shave my goddamn head.”

devil baby??????????????

DEVIL BABY OF THE HULL HOUSE CONFIRMED FOR GHOST FILES SEASON 2 PUPPET ELEMENTARY AU!!!

[dyketennant]

now that i got my sad stuff out of my system i’m going to write a human au where crowley is a puppeteer and aziraphale is an elementary school teacher/librarian

[wolfiemcwolferson]

hi dear, how are you? for the au, probably very basic, but I'm still interested in your headcanons

george/alex both working as teachers in an elementary school. george probably being the stiff-looking one and alex the children's favourite. featuring their innocent little students who have been shipping it since day one and maybe play cupid a little

Hi Anon, the Galex thoughts are always always flowing.

1. George is always a disaster but I think he’s the school librarian. A little too nervous for teaching. Serious about books. Goes wild for reading to classrooms - always does the most. Making cardboard caterpillars to go along with books and hand puppets and staying up all night to glue googly eyes on a hundred Pom poms. His library is colorful and vibrant and he lobbies to get a couple of sensory friendly rooms in the library because the Cute Teacher wrote a paper about it in uni.

2. Which brings us to Alex. Cute Teacher. Obviously the favorite by and large. Funny funny funny. Always willing to go the extra mile for his kids and also has a crush on George that he will never ever tell anyone.

3. The kids notice how often Mr. Albon goes by the library even though he doesn’t need to and they also notice how Mr. George gets red when they eat lunch together and they think they’re together anyway because that’s how kids work.

4. George invites Alex to his birthday party and Alex shows up with a bundle of kids books and a basket of art supplies and all of George’s mates think he’s weird, but it’s the best gift George has ever received and he has to breathe deeply.

5. Alex finally asks George to dinner and he means it to be casual but then he buys flowers on the way to meet him and it’s not casual because the date is on Friday and they end up walking to work together on Monday morning somehow and that’s it. That’s how it goes on.

[deusvervewrites]

Puppet Strings AU: Wow his quirk is basically identical to Dictator's quirk Despot. Since Izuku discovers this around late elementary school does he get bullied for it once someone makes the connection?

You're not wrong, though he needs more than a single string on the target to properly control them.

I'm sure people would have but Inko had the sense to have him not mention it to his classmates, so they only know that he can use his strings like Kamui Woods (or at least that's their closest reference)

[ouatnextgen]

Cygnet Scholar Ship Headcanons

My last main Next Gen ship, Hope Swan-Jones and Gideon Gold!

This ship is my bias for some reason lmao. I can't explain why I love the ship between two barely there characters who never met in canon.

I think that @kazoosandfannypacks put it best in the tags of this post: "'our parents are sworn enemies but we're childhood best friends to lovers' is SUCH a good dynamic."

Also, idk if I ever mentioned this, but in this AU, Gideon stays in Storybrooke and grows up normally there, so he's about a year older than Hope, and four or five months younger than Robyn.

Tropes: Childhood friends to lovers || Kindred spirits || Will-they-won’t-they || Partners in crime || They both like each other, they’re just idiots || Banter

Songs: Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol || Follow You- Imagine Dragons || The Last of the Real Ones- Fall Out Boy || Fire Escape- Andrew McMahon || Sober Up- AJR || Hold Me While You Wait- Lewis Capaldi

Headcanons Under the Cut: (all pre-relationship)

They’ve been best friends since they were toddlers.

They were very close in elementary school, somewhat drifted apart in middle school, and got very close again in high school.

Gideon has liked Hope since early middle school. Hope started liking him in late middle school/ early high school.

Since Gideon is a year older, they don’t have many classes together, but they meet up in the library at lunch. 

Gideon is a mathlete, and Hope is on the school dance team. They try to go to each other’s events after school.

Since they’re both socially inept, they like to hang out in places where there aren't a lot of people. Their favorite spots are: The roof of Mr. Gold’s pawn shop, the clock tower in the library, and the beach on stormy days.

Hope loves talking to Gideon about her hyperfixations, and Gideon loves listening to her.

Hope calls Gideon “Croc,” “Love,” and “Handsome Hero.” Gideon calls Hope “Cygnet,” “Princess,” and “Dearest.”

Gideon has chronic nightmares from his time as the Black Fairy’s puppet, and Hope is happy to distract him when he doesn’t want to bother his mom.

They both leave their windows unlocked at night, and are constantly sneaking into each other’s rooms after nightmares/ anxiety.

Hope doesn’t have any magic, and Gideon fears his own magic. They like to complain about these problems together.

Hope got them those tacky best friend heart necklaces for Gideon’s birthday. Both claim it was a joke, but they rarely take them off.

Gideon is 5’8, and Hope is 5’3, so he picks her up a lot. Mainly to convince her not to do stupid things.

Hope has tried to date a few people before realizing she had it bad for Gideon (including Robyn, but that’s another post) nothing ever worked out longer than a few weeks, and a few were Not Great relationships. Since Gideon is the Dark One’s son, a lot of kids his age either fear him or bully him relentlessly. So not great in the dating department.

Gideon never put much thought into his sexual orientation, but he knows he likes both girls and guys. Hope knew she was asexual pretty early on. She figured out that she was demiromantic later through Alex Boyd, Storybrooke’s resident queer helper-outer. 

Since the whole…thing with Gideon’s dad being mortal enemies with Hope’s dad, and Gideon almost killing Hope’s mom or whatever, Gideon always assumes that Killian and Emma hate him, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Emma, Killian, and Belle all look forward to the day when Hope and Gideon finally get together. (Rumple cheated and looked into the future so he knows that they do lol)

[codihastoomanyideas]

Animation idea

I think that we, as an Internet community who loves nostalgic properties but hates being bombarded by every shitty remake Hollywood has brought back from the Pet Cemetery -- INCLUDING "Pet Sematary" -- are overdue for a Renaissance of Beast Fables.

Like, reimagining stories is part of storytelling culture, whether it's unintentional (word of mouth misses some details) or absolutely intentional (completely involved AUs with whole new rule sets and worldbuilding and such). Reimaginings can be a lot of fun, and give a lot more breathing room to people who actually wanna be creative instead of carrying out the same old-same old that executives are So Convinced are what the masses want.

My proposal? Pull a Lion King on 'em.

The Lion King wasn't a 1:1 adaptation of Hamlet for obvious kid-friendly reasons (would've been a bit of a downer for everyone to end up like their Shakespearean counterparts), but at its root, at its conception, it's a twist on Hamlet. And that's completely okay that the final product doesn't exactly match the initial inspiration, because it shows that the production team was allowed to think and use their imaginations during the creative process.

Didn't anyone else grow up with those reimagined/fractured fairytales in elementary school? We had a book where Cinderella was a sasquatch, it was fucking awesome

All the beloved stories, both new and old, can get the Lion King treatment. They don't even have to be animals every time, they can be robots or aliens or any direction one's muse pulls them in.

And for the love of corn, some of them can be animated outside of 3D CGI. It can be 2D, it can be stop-motion or claymation, it can be fucking puppets(or even Muppets!). Please.

Please.

There is so much more to this world than making the next Frozen. Shake yourself free of the tractor beam of What Will Make The Most Money, go forth and write the stories you want to see in the world -- even if you retooled an older story to fit a world of furries, it'd be doing a LOT more than anyone distributing huge-budget franchises would dare to do right now.

If I have to see one more Elsa clone on my phone app game ad du jour, I might just scream
