#reverse social situation!au

[secriden]

reverse social situation!au where sky is wealthy and prapai is poor and sky has major trust issues/is emotionally very unavailable because of trauma caused by his crazy ex so he hires escorts to bring to his fancy social events that his dad makes him attend because he doesn't want to ever get into a relationship again.

enter prapai who's trying to put his 2 younger siblings through uni by working as an escort on the side. its an easy gig for him because he likes to flirt and he's very comfortable making conversation and like 80% of this job is just schmoozing and the other 20% is looking hot which prapai already has on lock. occasionally he fucks some of his clients if they're pretty enough but the company he works is p good about making sure their staff gets the final say on stuff like that.

when he gets hired by sky he's instantly intrigued. sky is so prickly and grumpy and full of verbal barbs, but he goes soft under prapai's hands when he pulls him close and is clearly so touch starved that prapai aches a little bit for him. he does his best to make things easier for sky (who is very awkward at social events) and he's charming enough that sky realises this is one of the easiest nights out he's had in a long time.

its social season in whatever the Bangkok equivalent of the Hamptons is, so sky winds up hiring prapai semi regularly to be his arm candy / society shield for a series of events. prapai makes things so easy and its the most relaxed he's ever been around someone and even though prapai has the lamest sense of humour ever, somehow he makes sky laugh.

meanwhile prapai is living his best julia roberts life because not only is he being paid super well (like plerng and phan's university fund has grown significantly and he's set for the next six months on rent) but he's gotten a whole new wardrobe out of this which he's taken full advantage of cuz sky cares nothing about fashion (seriously, he just wears the most BORING suits that, yes, to be fair still look amazing on him because his tailor knows how to emphasise his tiny waist and the sharp line of his shoulders), so he just gives prapai a credit card and tells him to get what he wants. when prapai asks what the limit on it is, sky just shrugs.

but also its driving prapai just a little bit wild that sky won't initiate anything with him. he can tell sky is attracted to him because of the way sky always stares at his lips when he gets too close, eyes startled and wide like a deer caught in headlights. but he never takes it further and prapai always has to let the moment pass or diffuse it by dropping a quick peck on his cheek or forehead. he knows its not his place to demand more but he can't help but want. he can tell they'd be good together, but also there's something sad about sky's eyes that calls out to prapai.

he decides he's just going to have to seduce sky so good and make him jump prapai because tbh prapai's sick and tired of blue balling them both.

so he makes a plan. buys an outfit that he knows will make him look like A Snack (TM). then lies in wait for an unsuspecting sky to come home and trip into his arms.

yes it works, and yes they have mind blowing sex and then can't stop having mind blowing sex and prapai's never been happier.

they start going on cute dates between social events. sky takes prapai out on a yacht and plies him with strawberries and chocolate and kisses champagne from his lips. prapai takes sky to a dilapidated hole in the wall, but the food is warm and hearty and smells like home and love. they pack a picnic and laze around in the sun until a sudden downpour has them running for shelter under a deserted pagoda. they're drenched and shivering and overcome with giggles, and when prapai glances over he feels his breath catch inside his chest. he's helpless against the pull he feels towards this man, so he reaches out, drags sky close and slants his lips over sky's in a deep, wet kiss and lets the feeling of love consume him.

one day when they're cuddling after a (quite rigorous) session, prapai falls asleep first and sky stays up staring at his face and tracing his lips with his fingertips. he thinks about the how different his life is now, how happy being with prapai makes him, how easy it is to let himself go under prapai's hands. he has the sudden revelation that he wants more. and that terrifies sky.

he starts avoiding prapai. they still have a month on their contract and sky can't bring himself to cancel it, but he refuses to let prapai do more than hold him when he's escorting him to events and refuses to see him outside of their formal engagements. prapai is understandably hurt and confused and at first tries to give sky time to tell him what's wrong but when its their final week together and sky is still being distant and cold he can't take it anymore and confronts sky.

they fight. prapai demands to know why sky is treating him like they don't mean anything to each other. sky rebuts that he doesn't mean anything to him. this was always transactional. its not sky's fault that prapai got his heart tangled up in good sex. prapai is livid, and storms off and sky falls to his knees and breaks apart to the sound of the door slamming shut.

it takes a few minutes, but prapai calms down and realises that something's wrong. that wasn't sky; it wasn't the gentle and kind and loving man he's grown to adore. he rushes back and finds sky sobbing on the floor and gathers him into his arms. they rock together and prapai shushes him gently. he tells sky that its okay that he knows that sky didn't mean what he said. because he knows sky better.

"its not fair to ask you to say it first, so let me. i love you, sky."

sky sobs, and the truth comes out. how he loved once and was repaid with cruelty. how in the aftermath he felt used up, like there was nothing in his heart left to give. how meeting prapai shifted something fundamental in him and it was terrifying but sky wanted to be brave because prapai was worth being brave for.

"i love you too," sky says, finally, voice still thin and broken from his tears. "i'm sorry for saying what i did before; none of it is true. i love you, i love you, i don't think i can ever stop loving you."

"you won't have to," prapai promises, and when sky arches up for him, prapai's already there. the kiss feels like a promise, it feels like deliverance.

it feels like coming home.

DOL x SCP AU

KyLar ver. 1.0.0 - SCP- 1471 (EUCLID)

'Never settle for those awkward feelings of being alone ever again! KyLar is an exciting and interactive experience that will keep you engaged and intrigued! The anxiety of social situations can be nerve-wracking but after a few hours of KyLar, you will soon forget about all those painful emotions of disappointment! Remember, the more you participate, the more KyLar will engage with you! Your experience is completely up to you!'

SCP-1471 or also known as 'KyLar' is a free to download application for mobile devices made available on several well known online applications platforms including but are not limited to: Google Play and the Apple App Store. SCP-1471 has no listed developer and has the anomalous ability to not only bypass all approval process to be listed on the online application platforms but also can not be removed by any program removal application.

Once SCP-1471 is installed in a phone, it will begin to send pictures to the user through text messaging between every 3-6 hours. All pictures will contain some detail of SCP-1471-A, either located in the foreground or background. On the first day, the pictures containing SCP-1471-A would be taken in places that are usually frequented by users in the past. However, after 48 hours, the pictures sent containing SCP-1471-A would be taken in places that were recently visited by the user. After 72 hours, the pictures sent containing SCP-1471-A would be taken of the user in real time, with shots of SCP-1471-A standing in the foreground, background or even behind the user at times. Users who have been exposed to SCP-1471 for more than 90 hours will begin to visualize or see SCP-1471-A in their peripheral vision and reflective surfaces.

SCP-1471-A has been described to be a short human male with pale skin, sunken eyes with dark eye bags and a mop of black messy unkempt hair. SCP-1471-A is always seen wearing very loose gray trousers and an oversized black hoodie. In some instances, SCP-1471-A would appear in some pictures holding a knife in one hand and some users have reported that the longer they take to respond to SCP-1471-A's pictures, he will look far more hostile and crazed in the next pictures. However, it is unclear if continued delay in response to these text messages would lead to a hostile encounter with the anomalous entity. So far, affected users, who have continued exposure to SCP-1471, had begun visualizing SCP-1471-A in real life, where SCP-1471-A would try to visually communicate with them in some way. However, all reported users have failed to understand or comprehend the meaning of these attempts.

The only way to reverse the anomalous effects that is occurring to the users will be to remove the users from the continuous exposure of the images completely before 90 hours have passed.

Hi! I love you, your blog (wifeposting supremacy) and your writing and I hope you are doing well. I was rereading bbts, as one does, and I was wondering if you'd read fics where Tim also calls for Kon the way one would Supes? I don't know if it's a proper trope or not but I need to see it more... anyway, no worries if not and sending lots of love :)

thank you! wifeposting supremacy indeed! i’ve been slacking on my posting this month because fifteen thousand different things have been going on, but at least some of those have been good wife things. earlier today i noticed she added my last name to one of her social media accounts and i had to just collapse into the pile of clean laundry i was folding and stare at the ceiling being gay about that for like ten minutes. yes we’ve been married over a year yes i was still like “omg that’s my wife.”

and re: fics where tim calls for kon: yes for sure! i also adore it, to no surprise. i know there are way more than i have listed here, but these are ones i thought of off the top of my head:

Orientation by @smilebackwards, which is probably one of the first iterations of this trope that i read, and the moment tim shouts for kon never fails to delight me every time i reread it.

Wing Beats in Reverse by firefright, a reverse robins au with (excellent) jason pov, so timkon are technically background—but they’re still absolutely gut-wrenching, especially when the fic employs this specific trope.

speaking of reverse robins, i always love to rec Detours by miyaji_08, which has both identity shenanigans and tim (quietly) calling for kon in the middle of a Real Tense Situation.

Sore Loser by @hayleyhearts is (as always with this author) sharp and funny and a bit angsty and def has Tim calling Kon for a rescue, with a little twist that matches the rest of the story.

and i for sure have to include leap of faith by @funkylittlebidiot, which 1) is a fun and fast-paced oneshot centered around tim calling for kon, and 2) is the reason bbts has “(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)” which is such an honor to have on my fic.

and a bonus one where tim can’t call for help, but it’s okay because kon shows up anyway: midnight sun by @mamawasatesttube, which has both brilliant + kickass ttk usage and also tim saying “eep!”

[heideez]

tidbits/headcanons from my relativity falls au + fic “one of those questions with no real answer”

Stan and Ford feed off of each other’s emotions and reactions, like, a LOT. Especially Ford. He learns emotions from Stanley, learns mannerisms from Stanley, and understands social norms from him, because Stan is the only constant in his life, and is typically always with him. So if Stan starts to cry, esp if it’s over something irrational, Mabel and Dipper start to panic a lil because they know Ford’s probably going to start crying too and that’ll just make things worse 😭😭😭

Ford and Stan had a few-month period where they drifted before they left Jersey, because the abuse was worsening for Stan, and Ford was being intentionally kept in the dark about it, as well as being pushed extremely hard in school, but after The Incident (tm) that leads them to Gravity Falls, they come back together + are closer than ever esp after summer.

Grauntie Mae has put in a lot of work to reverse teachings of toxic masculinity and the boys have been quite receptive (esp considering they’re both queer + nd and didn’t resonate much with that in the first place)

Stanley had a bit of a Wendy situation with Dan Corduroy over the summer, but it turned into a big-brother thing wayyy before Dipper’s crush did, mostly a means of helping Stan come to terms with his bisexuality (though he’s still only told Ford)

Stan can read (not well), but could not at all until far later than most due to his untreated learning disabilities. Ford is not the most skilled teacher because of his unique intellect being kinda difficult to translate (except to Stan, but yk, academically there’s still a barrier) but he taught Stan how to read pretty much single-handedly.

Grauntie Mae asked Stan if he’d be interested in getting braces, bc his front teeth have a gap but are otherwise in alignment. Stan declines, at least for the time being, because he likes the look (and maaaaybe, just a little bit, doesn’t want to be a burden)

Fiddleford comes from a very religious, bible-thumping community and has a family that is only slightly more moderate (why they moved). His parents do not support LGBTQ+ people. He is gaygayGAY, like never even looked at a woman, and he knows it’s only a matter of time before they start to ask…

Ford regularly turns to the poster of Nikolai Tesla on his wall in the attic and does the Jason from the Good Place thing (“oh ariana, we’re really in it now…”)

that’s all for now!!!

MAGIC KAITO/DCMK - basic lvl au - wings - humor

Soul animal tie au - an offshoot of soul wings

everyone has a soul animal that represents them and get a part of their animal

they can summon that part at will or hide it away, but while hiding it away its still part of you and on your body as a mark/tattoo

for clarity purposes if your animal is so ambiguous you don’t know what it is or what you gain from it it’s also very hard to turn it off or see the mark/tattoo at all which makes it even harder to find out what it is

those with very obvious animal ties (eg. gain a whole new outward limb) have the reverse where they are basically forced to be very attuned

parts can range from yes soul wings, to catboys having cat ears, to magic soul exoskeleton, to see in the dark eyes

start out as a normal human but in childhood the signs come in slowly and then BAM (usually around 6 years old bc of lack of control)

people learn skills to control their soul animal ties young- the better control the faster you can switch and not accidentally bump into someone

some are super inconvenient for daily life eg: ACCURATE FOR HUMAN FLYING WING SPAN! so yeah some people by necessity tend to hide theirs so its not an uncommon sight to see people with and without visible soul animal ties

but if you go for long periods of time forcefully shoving your soul animal ties away it is bad for you

the less obvious part of the ties is that peoples personalities/instincts also gain animalistic qualities of their soul animal

the instincts are strong as children before the ties become obvious and they can be reigned in

sometimes people get TOO into their animal instincts. this is for comedy purposes. mostly.

soul animal ties also require upkeep like every other part of your body

Kaito - Dove soul wings. obviously

doves bc magician. i cannot tell you how basic this au is lmaooo

he tends to hide them in daily life because his wing span is gigantic because he can actually fly

when out his wings are additional 40% of his body weight (he needs to stretch as soon as he gets back from school before letting his wings free to make sure he doesn’t tear anything) (tore his back muscles a couple times as a kid) (first time he got his wings were so painful and his parents had him learn control really quickly and do a lot of physical therapy to adjust to his new limbs) (turns out doing a hand stand without wings and with wings is so different!! balance is all changed!)(at first just kept

his wings length are double his height

his bones are also lighter because of the flying bird thing but he doesnt notice

still uses glider as Kid because he doesn’t want it to be connected to his irl! besides no visible qualities help sell the illusion! annoying to hide his giant wing tattoos on his back in disguises tho (its annoying to fly over forests and shrubbery anyways open fields and large bodies of water for flying is optimal anyways)

his dad used to call him his little assistant and kaito would be his little dove in his performances it was ADORABLE

his birb instincts came in fast and hard

iff too in instincts he struggles to see glass? this is purely bc mk is a comedy and we need more comedy

imagine KID having to reveal his wings in a tense situation to not die

his KID coat is altered- actually all of his clothes are altered with slits so he can easily slip his wings through them if needed

kaitos instincts always liked his fellow doves as part of the flock but got so absurd levels after his dad died and mom left for america

he is very intune with his animal instincts due to his social network being 15 doves and also the nakamoris

sometimes his instincts surrounded by flock for long periods of time make him think of himself as a big bird and then he walks directly into a glass plane

this is a rare phenomenon because their soul tie needs to be 1)social 2)no humans around (which by that point already would be setting off instincts itself) (esp if child like imagine distressed baby animal sounds instinctively happening) and 3)around their soul animal’s animal enough to completely become entrenched

kaitos mental health is Not Good and he is the only one unaware of this even his doves worried about their big legged dove

gets depressed when fully alone

house was built to accommodate for his wings (along with Kid room) and roof has a landing area for him as a result (yes hakuba tries so hard to find evidence there lmao)

squawks when offended

his wings also need pokerface lmao

Shinichi/Conan - hawk - got the eyes!

He’s a detective gotta be keen at observing

this guy sees a dead body and his soul tie is going wildddd (he gets more into his insticts as well as a result)

Shinichi likes his soul animal tie for its usefulness lmao - also why he cant leave anything alone every- he can see all the things going on

everyone is so concerned seeing a six year old so controlled over their soul tie and just insant activation around crimes lmao

sonoko chalks the fact that both kudo and conan have these eyes as their soul tie is that theyre both detectives. classic detectives thing really

conan has such a high pitched squeal bc of this its hysterical

his eyes being super observant makes his conan glasses super funny actually

bro can see UV light

baby shinichi, in school, nitpicking colours because he got more cones cells: no i want light brown for my sherlock holmes diagram! thats dark purple!

his conan glasses gonna be like reverse sunglasses or smthing- its not uncommon for those with sense changing soul ties to have medical stuff (hawks cant see well in the dark lmaoooo)

kept climbing trees obsessively for a better view as a kid before his trait became obvious and then started doing it again as conan bc he got tired of being short and would just climb high up on anything Ran is very done

doesnt tend to get too into his own instincts because hes too logical for that (or at least he thinks that ran objects and says theres so many times he gets into his head just doesnt notice bc he only thinks of logic)

dives upon prey metaphorically

fun fact! hawks eat doves

(kaito breaks into a cold sweat and feels prey instincts activate when conan ‘Kid Killer’ is staring at him with mischievous detective intent lmao)(of course this does nothing to deter the annoying theif)(for the record most people don’t feel such things otherwise thered be like zootopia racism kaito is just more bird than person)

also fun fact! hawks only have one mate their entire life

Haibara - snake - poison gland :3

her soul animal tie is the reason she survived the apoxtitocyn idk how to spell

its so invisible she did not know what her soul tie was for a long time

she thought maybe she just didnt get one it would fit someone without a nest

turns out she did! only finds out after shes haibara with the prof

her pysche is in shambles

she gets cold easily it startled ayumi and ayumi forces her to wear gloves and hold her hand in winter

if she only survived because of her soul tie then… what the fuck is up with kudo?

Rest of the detective boys

young enough where its not obvious yet and not knowing isnt weird but conan and haibara knowing theirs isn’t weird either

random assortment of uncontrolled instincts

conan and haibara balance them out

ayumi has clear pack bonding instincts. shes also insane.

genta clearly has an animal tie that requires more sustenance - hes a hungry growing boy! that much is clear so his teachers let him eat in class as an exception lmao- maybe it’s fish related!

mitsuhikos is not very obvious and he does not care he doesnt need one hes got science!! and studying!! hes a smart boy

out of all the detective boys genta is probably the closest to realizing/getting his soul tie soon

Ran - bear - she got bear hands get it? she fights with her bear hands (claws)

she scares me

strong

protective

fucking loves jam

gets so sleepy in the winter

she is medically excused from certain school activities in the winter due to her nature

ambush attacks people shinichi is no 1 victim for being annoying

she chuffs this isnt important but i need this to be known

never fuck with her - DONT POKE THE SLEEPING BEAR!!!! she is TERRIFYING when on her protective instincts she can rip a lamppost out of the ground to cave your head in if she wishes

the only one whose able to get away (alive) with poking the sleeping bear is shinichi

in tune with her instincts - not overly so where shes more animal than human sometimes like kaito - but she knows how she feels! better than everyone else at being balanced lmao

you ever seen those videos of people getting adrenaline rush and picking up a car to save a baby? shes like that on will basically because shes in tune

Sonoko - butterfly next question - fuzzy

cocoons at night also cacoons whenever she feels bad

does not come out of her cacoon when her period is bad fr (i do too sonoko </3)

she doesnt usually supress her trait bc it just like a natural jacket (butterfly fuzziness)

needs to spend time in the sun (some ppl think its vain its not its medical necessity)

cloudy winter day? so so cold

Shinichi will third wheel his girlfriend and Sonoko who are sharing a jacket and are super close whole walking bc sonoko is so cold and has fur so ran is there for the fur and sonoko is there for the warmth

Hakuba - White Horse - speedy boy? centaur? centaur hakuba? i dont fucking know centaur hakuba

he gives me horse girl vibes

he has to use horse shampoo and it makes his hair so soft and shiny and luscious that thats the whole reason hes popular

“have you seen his hair?!?”

something something white knight something something

keeps fuckig eating flowers someone stop him

Kaito, trying to distract him, saying something charming: *makes a rose appear* pour toi- EHHH??? QUOI???? ARRÊTE!!!! hakuba: *waiting the roses as they appear*

was obessed with mlp as a kid this isnt an au thing this is canon btw trust me

“its like finding a needle in a haystack- and i love haystacks!”

Heiji - ? - future sight

heiji has no idea what soul animal his tie is

but its really obvious his divination/future sight is from it

his specific soul tie is mentioned in mythos by dif names but the plot important one is cursed by apollo

Conan until meeting Heiji thought it was baloney lmao hes super invested into finding out heijis soul animal

ambiguous soul ties arent common but theyre not exactly uncommon either- a lot of places simply dont know what animal it could be

theres signs (from instincts) and in common era theres tests too but theyre not always conclusive

heiji doesnt care much what his soul tie is LMAO

Kazuha also has an ambiguous/invisible soul tie and they bonded over it as kids

Kazuha and Heiji are unaware that their instincts are both crazed and so match eachothers freak

they packbonded

Aoko - honey bager

i wont expand

Akako - crow - witches don’t get any limbs with that only instincts

she likes shiny things

she IS a bad omen

has an entire flock

witches gave up their soul tie to do sorcery with the great spirits many many moons ago

the tattoo/mark is there tho

akako thinks its dumb

Kaitos bad guys are a given

Snake - has snake scales as armour

Spider - has a exoskeleton

kaito thinks both are unfair and evil

Conans are less so

ima finish this later its 1 am this is my archive i can do what i want

So i’ve been thinking (shocking, really) about the world building for my reverse robins wingfic.

ike, sure, it’s a little fic and ppl prolly won’t notice, but i just cant help but speculate.

in this au, everyone is born with wings unless afflicted with a certain illness, disease, or genetic defect that leaves you with no avian traits (which is the excuse the kents use).

but how would having wings influence the infrastructure? well, i’m glad you asked! cities are more compact because there isn’t really as big a need for transportation unless you’re an aves that’s just not built for long-distance travels like various passeriformes birds.

planes still exist, but they’re utilized by the avians who aren’t able to fly long distances. avians who have wings like albatrosses or terns or other soaring birds would probably require licenses to do their annual migrations and travels- same applies to regualr migritory species like ducks and geese- where the instinct remains despite not needing to migrate.

of course, with the constant migration through countries, i think there would be more mixing of races and ethnicities especially within the migratory bird communities, so there would probably be less overall hostilities.

now, there will still be discriminatory and hateful ideals, and some are shown in my fics. For example, Gotham’s elites are mostly made up of raptors and birds of prey like eagles, kites, kestrels, hawks, falcons, ospreys, owls, etc- birds who actively hunt down mammalian or lizards for prey (in the real world i mean), that is because of displays of powers. Scavengers like condors, vultures, buzzards, are regarded lower on the social ladder but not as low as perching birds and song birds simply because of their ability to have sustained flight.

like i mentioned briefly, songbirds and perching birds (passerines) are regarded lowly in general due to their “weak demeanor” and overall flashiness, which gives them the reputation of being only suitable to work in brothels and such regardless of gender (but especially dudes where the aves species exhibits sexual dimorphism, eg. cardinals, peacocks, golden pheasants, etc.)

there are definitely some exceptions, being corvids. some cultures have corvids as villans, whereas others may portray corvids as intelligent and charming.

now, we arrive to genetics. im still not 100% sure how i want the phenotype of an avian to be passed down. so far, it’s mainly just sons are the same aves as their fathers (like thomas wayne, bruce, and damian are all harpy eagles, but martha wayne was a kingfisher and talia is an imperial eagle), but im not sure abt daughters. genetics is messy, but i think i’ve managed to sertle on a 50/50 chance of being born either the same aves as their mother, or their paternal grandmother. like if damian had been born with xx instead of xy chromosomes, then he’d either have been an imperial eagle like talia, or a kingfisher like martha wayne. intersex people exist too, and i think their wings would be a blend between both their mother and father’s.

now for the the supers and the other metas:

as mentioned previously, the kents claim that their adopted son had a genetic disorder that basically prevented him from growing wings (or just left him in a state similar to humans before they were all “cursed” by a diety to have wings, or whatever. in the dcu, that probably woulnd’t even be too far fetched), so clark lacked a major social component to his childhood. without wings and a tail, others would have a harder time reading his emotions, seeing as these appendages are crucial in nonverbal communication between avians, and that gives clark a leg up in reading other people, but having them not understanding what he’s thinking.

now with jon and kon, they have two VERY different situations. for jon, since his paternal side is wings-free, i just gave him lois’s ave- western kingbird- instead of making him no-winged. kon, on the other hand was a test-tube baby, so it was a toss-up on whether he’d get lex luthor’s purple martin wings, or clark’s no-wings since they’re both guys. I think kon would’ve enjoyed wings, so i gave him the purple martin wings. Plus, they’re pretty much invulnerable, and their wings are no different.

diana and the other ppl from themyscira wouldn’t have wings since they aren’t human, and same applies to the other jl members who aren’t humans.

on a wholly separate note: the lazarus pits. here, not only does it give you white streaks in your hair, it’ll bleach out your feathers. so liek if a peacock was thrown into the pit, not only would they die and come back manic, their feathers would make them look like piebald, or have different markings or white ticking.

anyways, that’s the end of my long post, and i hope yall enjoyed listening to me speculate and talk about birds and my silly little guys!!

[thatrandomidiot182]

GUYYSSSS GUYSSSS HEAR ME OUT...

HOTD Scream au!

Aegon and Aemond are Ghostface, as that's the thought that started all of this...

Aegon would obviously be the Stu of the duo, treating it like a game and being overly enthusiastic and such. He'd get really frustrated with Aemond though for always being on his ass about being clean and careful, and I can see that causing problems for the duo in the future...

Anyway, Aemond would be Billy. Now, obviously, he's not as charming as Billy, but he's equally as conniving and has one hell of a poker face so I can see it. Despite him being the #1 suspect when it came out that the murderer was a student, because of his school shooter vibes, he somehow managed to talk his way around it.

Sweet little Helaena is the more relaxed, less social Tatum, who, although NOT dating her brother, is equally as close with him. Aegon treats her like one would a puppy, constantly doting on her and gushing about his cute baby sister.

Yeah, sister complex is real with that one.

Jace would be this au's version of Dewey, although he's not an officer, just the son of one (Harwin). Honestly, he's just a nosey high-school student who has far too much free time and unlimited access to the towns crime records. Once the Ghostface murders started happening he jumped on the chance to investigate and began snooping around the school, somehow not at all including his uncles in his list of suspects... (low-key stiles stilinski vibes)

Luke is Randy. Enough said lol. He's the one who convinced Jace to start looking into the case himself bc Harwin wouldn't listen to his horror movie nerd ramblings that he claimed were 'leads.'

Now, as for Sydney, I think the most fitting character for her would be Rhaena. Not only is she dating Luke (Corlys + Rhaenys, Vis and Daemon were all just super close friends, not actually related) which could cause a reverse Billy + Sydney and Randy situation, but she's also smart and a little youthfully naive, so she'd be more susceptible to believing Aemond and Aegons lies... I can see her being final girl.

Baela is Gale. It just makes sense. She's stubborn, strong, and badass and would absolutely work with Jace to uncover the Ghostface in order to post the story in the school newspaper and make her debut as a real reporter.

Just wanted to share my brainrot <3

I read a fic where ghost wwx played the hurdy gurdy in cr to juniors (forgot title, help!) & now it's one of my fav instruments.

For the Love of Quilting by Scrippio (T, 5k, WangXian, Modern: No Powers, Quilt Shop AU, First Meeting, Getting Together, Fluff) this fic taught me a lot abt quilting !!

I know it's ask the swap papyruses but also like:

What is your different takes on each swap papyrus you've made so far? Are there stark differences or slight changes? How do you portray them?

I'm not 100% sure how to properly answer this. There are so many, so I'm gonna pick a handful.

Syrup: Grew up in the Underground, similar to Undertale but with reversed roles. Prankster, goofball, loving as hell, constantly worried about his stressed-out brother, enjoys puzzles and sweets, dislikes fatty food and drink.

Slick: Genuine mafia man, beloved by Kioko, very hot, very strong, very orphan. The guy has a huge body count, he's a flirt, plays around with people, likes pissing off his kidnappers, prankster, values his family, he's a good hacker, he can take a punch, and he's incredibly snarky.

Ceylon: Grew up in the Underground, following an Underswap neutral route, and survived a famine. Is still a joker, but he has a more morbid sense of humor now. He is a mother hen (ish), likes sweet foods, tolerates greasy stuff, and is a little nasty when we first meet, but he lightens up because he is really touch starved.

Farmswap: Lark grew up on the surface with a farm. Dude is a farmer who works hard but is prone to laziness. He is a joker, very powerful, has a nasty mouth, may be easily irritated depending on the situation, enjoys honey, is really helpful, intelligent, and motivating.

Obsidian: Grew up in the Underground, but is slightly more hostile than average Underswap. A prankster, a smoker, dislikes greasy food, is a major flirt, smug, enjoys poor puns, prefers honey-flavored foods to plain honey, enjoys booze, and balances his brother out.

Honeycomb: He grew up in the Underground, which was devastated by Toxin, and has since become a multiverse wanderer. A prankster, but more closed off and colder than his other varieties, vindictive, the #original, vigilante, smokes and enjoys sweets, a flirt, more worried than the other variants, and overprotective.

Sandstone: Did not grow up in the Underground, grew up on the surface world. He is an authentic hero. A prankster AND a troublemaker, a social butterfly who is secretly an introvert, highly protective of loved ones, loving, caring, and takes his profession very seriously (in comparison to his other versions), and everyone kind of likes him.

Cyfrin: He is a god of Mischief and Daydreams. He is a guide, a lovely person, and a trickster (yes), but he is unnecessarily courteous and formal; he frequently leads people to considerably happier lifestyles and dream choices; he is highly flirty, frequently anxious, and does not take his job of helping others seriously.

Beckett: A dragon who guards his home. A little cooler than his variants, very serious about his work, a trickster who enjoys horrible jokes, a gentleman to a fault, a tease, calm, stressed, and careful, very strong, and not afraid to battle and tear his way to survival.

Bryn: Dreamwalker who improves dreams, reality bender, grew raised in the Anti-void. He's nice, lethargic, and a prankster, but he can be extremely frightening and intimidating as a guide. He enjoys reality-bending and puns and isn't tied to any single AU.

Liu: He's a void traveling doctor. He's super smart, also he's weirdly cryptic, he smokes, avoids causing problems for friends, a prankster, deals with stress well, seems overconfident, and like sweet food over savory.

Mer au redo in short. Only world history.

Ocean world

This Ocean world has some really deep oceans for bigger creatures.

Sun/shadow stones create pockets of energy in the deep.

Bioluminescent deep reefs exist on deposits of Sun/shadow Stones.

The land exists but is not plentiful.

There are plenty of resources under the water that are similar to wood and other materials.

All mer come from a DNA changing virus

DNA changing virus affects a host fish and makes it so that they're next generation has mer like traits

DNA changing virus can be transferred and made stronger through to mer either breeding or devouring one another.

DNA changing virus makes it so the next generation has arms, better eyes, and a torso to hold a stronger respiratory system.

DNA changing virus usually makes the hosts children bigger. At least 8* bigger.

DNA changing virus increases the hosts children's intelligence. To early man intelligence.

DNA changing virus makes it so they have a greater tolerance to oxygen. Think mudskipper tolerance. Applies to oxygen breathers in reverse.

DNA changing virus can have some genes that "stack". It usually doesn't, but a repeat recessive gene will turn dominant in the offspring.

Genes that stack are the size, breathing, and intelligence.

The DNA changes virus does not attack land dwelling animals. The closest it gets is whales and seals

Mer will copy the host species that the DNA changing virus attached itself to. Including most of its behaviors.

Social host species mer will make tribes.

Mer can hybridize between two different host species by simply breeding with each other.

Mer will usually prefer to breed/interact with other fish due to what their body more leans to. This is important in hybrids.

Mer unlike most fish will defend their young. Mostly due to intelligence making them grow maternal effects.

The maternal effects will usually only last until the mer has reached adult size. Which does not mean they are mentally secure but physically are. This is not for every tribe.

Any host species that does a massive migration to breed. Will mostly come off as the tribe going to a certain grounds to live in temporarily.

Depending on the host species they can be social or communal. Although for most, family groups will stay together.

Mer usually follow either the biggest or the smartest. This position can be challenged by others in either wits or fists.

Mer will usually lean towards a caste system. With healers, hunters, nurseries, etc popping up.

Humans live on the land. Although many will create city rafts. Expanding their range.

The humans here act like us. Causing similar problems

Humans are manly fisherman due to the ocean planet environment.

Mer and humanity don't exactly like each other due to them both hunting the same food.

Some mer are hunted for sport.

Some mer are taken from the oceans and put into battling rings.

Humans wish to gain the effects of the DNA changing virus so they can better take over the planet.

The lab group represents those who are trying to take the DNA changing virus through experimentation on mers.

The research group represents those that decide to not meddle with the DNA changing virus, and support Mers.

The research group is currently the most supported group.

The lab group likes to horribly mutate Mers either with other things, or the DNA changing virus itself. Forcing changes.

The lab group encourages capture of mer.

The lab group will take mer corpses. Encouraging there slaughter.

The research group will sometimes encourage certain Mers to breed to see the effects of the DNA changing virus. But do no more than encourage.

The research group will often try and corral Mers into certain areas that are deemed safe or away from humans.

The research group likes to tag Mers so they can keep track of them if they get caught by the lab group or in other terrible situations.

Both of the two groups are at their throats. Although the lab group is more considered a black market to the general population.

What would it be like if Mexico is the one that gets intense with Chile?

(I mean, if they change roles and Chile is the calm one)

Existential doubts

Thank you for writing your questions to me. First, there is something I want you to understand, my chile has a personality based on certain attitudes or personalities and thoughts at a social level that are common among people in the country.

That is why in the context of romantic relationships Chile is usually very intense, when in everyday life Chileans tend to be rocks or very harsh when speaking, many tend to be "cold", but not all, since there are others who are only calm or look calm, friendly or sweet, but in the latter they tend to be very selective, the problem is trusting strangers, although that is not what they boast about, that in many ways they are having a type of introversion, also within society there is a degree very high autism. Which is interesting when talking about situations and moments where adrenaline appears, like Chile, he tends to be very withdrawn or very "firm" at times, it is as if he accumulates his emotions within himself, therefore they explode or are extreme in adrenaline situations, that makes him very intense, sadness can be transformed into depression, joy into euphoria, wrath into anger, etc. The good thing is that it only lasts a moment, it's like a bomb and then it's all peace.

Mexico is quite the opposite, but also quite rude, due to his strong "virility", although as he does not withdraw and has good social skills he does not get angry so easily and can control his emotions, however, he is very reserved with his very deep feelings or thoughts, but he is also very dramatic. So if the roles were changed, I feel that Mexico would be much more chaotic than Chile, the chaos would last longer. At the level of intensity in the context you ask me about, Mexico would be much more intense than Chile, it would cause more chaos.

Notice: Chile would never hit Mexico, because it is a person who wants to maintain peace no matter what happens in its environment, but in the matter of its context, it would be more possible for Mexico to do it with Chile, that is why I would not like to reverse the roles as something canonical in my Au analyzing social reality. Whatever, I do not design the personality of the characters based on my preference but rather on a neutral sociological view of each country.

(Chile often does not fit into the international stereotype they have about what it means to "be Latin")

Day 5: 4/11 ~ Favorite Tropes

Favorite tropes: Enemies to lovers, only one bed, forbidden love, fake dating, second chance, grumpy/sunshine, roommates, harem/reverse harem, whatever trope you like feel free to play around!

Lots of tropes lend themselves to AU’s! Consider what universe you want to write your trope in once you’ve picked it! 

5+1 trope: The five times they didn’t and the one time they did.

Enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers: Who in the group is the enemy/rival/ in this situation? Are they all enemies at first, or is someone in the middle just hoping the others work it out! Is it true enemies/rivals to lovers where no one liked each other at first, or did someone like the others and just keep up the ruse of enemy/rival?

Comment la ville de Courbevoie est devenue un leader mondial dans la lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire (par Arash DERAMBARSH dans REVUE POLITIQUE ET PARLEMENTAIRE).

Depuis l’adoption de la loi contre le gaspillage alimentaire, votée le 11 février 2016, les supermarchés ont l’obligation de reverser leurs invendus à des associations caritatives.[1]

Ainsi, cette loi a rapidement prouvé ses effets bénéfiques : plus de 10 millions de repas sont distribués chaque année en France. Cela représente une augmentation de 22 % des dons alimentaires destinés aux associations caritatives.

De plus, nous veillons à la bonne application de la loi.

Accompagnés de lanceurs d’alerte et d’huissiers de justice, nous n’avons cessé d’inspecter les poubelles à côté des supermarchés pour constater les atteintes à la loi.

Après avoir constaté que plusieurs magasins continuaient de jeter les invendus alimentaires à la poubelle, nous avons déposé de nombreuses plaintes à leur encontre. Les procédures fonctionnent et sont un moyen de dissuasion efficace. Sans compter les « Bad buzz » et la mauvaise réputation des magasins récalcitrants.

Mais cela n’a pas suffi et il fallait donc aller plus loin.

Ainsi qui mieux qu’une municipalité pour appliquer la loi contre le gaspillage alimentaire et devenir un laboratoire mondial ?

La ville de Courbevoie a reçu les agents de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) le 2 vendredi février 2024.

Ils sont venus de Rome pour constater et valider l’officialisation d’un chiffre record : 400 000 repas ont été économisés et redistribués à des associations caritatives pour que les démunis (classe moyenne représentant des mères ou pères célibataires élevant plusieurs enfants, des retraités, des chômeurs ou encore des étudiants) puissent manger à leur faim.[2]

Cette situation sociale démontre d’ailleurs que même dans une ville d’apparence « riche », la pauvreté a de multiples facettes. La pauvreté augmente et la classe moyenne décline.

Ainsi dans un rapport alarmant, le Secours Catholique a estimé que près de 10 % des Français ont recours à l’aide alimentaire.[3]

En effet, « entre 5 et 7 millions de personnes » ont eu recours à l’aide alimentaire en 2020 alerte le Secours Catholique dans son rapport annuel sur l’état de la pauvreté en France publié sur la base des données de la Direction générale de la cohésion sociale (DGCS).[4]

La ville de Courbevoie a donc fait preuve d’inventivité dans sa lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire.[5]

Depuis 2020, avec son Maire Jacques Kossowski, nous avons lancé une campagne pour mettre fin au gaspillage alimentaire.

En France, le mandat d’un élu municipal est de six ans. L’objectif était donc de faire de notre ville un laboratoire mondial.

Avant toute chose, il convenait de faire un premier constat.

Depuis le 11 février 2016, la règle interdisant le gaspillage alimentaire est limitée aux seuls magasins de plus de 400 m2.

La loi a permis la distribution de plus de 10 millions de repas par an et ses effets positifs se sont immédiatement fait sentir.

C’est en effet une hausse de plus de 22 % d’invendus alimentaires qui sont destinés chaque année aux associations caritatives.

Cette loi a été applaudie dans le monde entier.

Mais au niveau local, il y a encore des marges de manœuvres permettant de faire reculer ce fléau.

En effet, cette loi exonère les deux tiers des supermarché implantés à Courbevoie car leur surface de vente est inférieure à 400 m².

Il a donc été décidé qu’avec l’aide de plusieurs start-up et acteurs sociaux et économiques, une charte contre le gaspillage alimentaire serait votée chaque année dans toutes les sphères d’activité de la ville :

2020 avec tous les supermarchés situés dans la ville sans délimitation de superficie

2021 avec restauration hospitalière

2022 avec restauration scolaire

2023 auprès des commerces alimentaires (commerces de bouche, restaurants, boulangeries, marchés)

2024 avec les maisons de retraite

Ces chartes d’engagement, une première en France, ont un objectif multiple :

Créer des synergies pour que chacun puisse prendre part à ce combat et adapter ses pratiques

Participer à la sensibilisation du grand public à la lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire

Contribuer à réduire l’impact économique de ces déchets

Mettre en place des partenariats de dons alimentaires en faveur des associations conformément à la loi

Promouvoir les partenariats avec les associations municipales

Organiser des promotions « anti-gaspi », notamment pour les produits proches de la date limite de consommation (DLC)

Proposer des ventes en gros ou à l’unité afin d’adapter les quantités achetées et réduire les emballages

Favoriser le développement des produits frais, et développer des opérations marketing de sensibilisation (opération « Fruits et Légumes Moches », etc.)

Mener une discussion avec les fournisseurs afin de définir une stratégie de contrôle contre le gaspillage alimentaire (chartes qualité des produits, etc.)

Agir pour valoriser les déchets.

Par ailleurs, le 24 octobre 2022, la ville de Courbevoie a organisé une réunion de travail à l’Assemblée nationale dans le but de proposer un amendement à la législation française contre le gaspillage alimentaire. Les députés Karl Olive et Philippe Juvin étaient présents à la réunion.[6]

La proposition était simple : modifier la loi contre le gaspillage alimentaire promulguée le 11 février 2016.[7]

La ville de Courbevoie a spécifiquement proposé les amendements suivants :

Réduire le plafond actuel de 400 m2 imposé aux supermarchés pour le réduire à au moins 100 m2 afin d’inclure plus de 5 000 points de vente supplémentaires.

Augmenter les amendes actuelles de la 5ème classe représentant 10 000 euros à 20 000 euros contre les supermarchés qui continuent de jeter les invendus alimentaires consommables.

Fort de tout ce travail, la FAO a désigné la ville de Courbevoie « Ville verte mondiale » en 2024, lui accordant ainsi une reconnaissance formelle.

Nous appelons ainsi toutes les communes à décliner ces chartes qui ne coûtent rien aux contribuables.

Comme le rappellent les rapports du projet DrawDown (2020) et du GIEC (2022), la réduction du gaspillage alimentaire est l’une des trois principales solutions pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique.

Nous ne dirons pas que nous n’étions pas informés.
