firstly, I absolutely adore your blog!! <3 ur so cool

secondly im curious to know- what marvel superhero would you assign to each of the marauders? I personally think sirius would love ironman, he’s so tony stark coded

AH, you're combining some of my favourite fandoms, babe! Which is why I might end up writing a way deeper analysis than I need to lol. But let's go through it one by one.

My darling James, the golden boy of his era, he is 100% Captain America. He is hell-bent on protecting those he loves, and he would do anything for them. Also, he's been in love with one girl for all of his life. It's just so fitting for him, I feel?

But also, I feel like James could also be a great Spiderman (and that is probably his favourite superhero), especially younger James, with his charm and charisma and how he is loved and cherished by his people. Also, he is totally in love with a redhead.

Remus Lupin is a complicated one. You know, I feel like Hulk is quite fitting, since you know he gets angry and turns into a green monster, which kind of relates to Rem in a deeper level. Having said that, I think his superhero would be Moon Knight and I'm ready to diе on this grave.

Hear me out, it's about the deep-held emotional trauma and the way Steven and Jake came into existence to protect Mark, he would absolutely love, love Moon Knight, especially the Disney+ version of him. There's also the lack of control the multiple personalities entail (which is very much like Remus' turning into Moony) and the moon theme. Besides, Rem would totally have a mini crush on Oscar Isaac.

And for Sirius, I agree, he is definitely Iron Man coded and would love Tony, I mean it's in the daddy issues they share with each other, the family background, the rich kid persona and all that. But I also think Sirius would love, and I mean LOVE Peter Quill (StarLord).

StarLord also has family issues, but he grew to become an absolutely charming character, sharing his love for beings with Sirius (aka they're both a little bit of heartbreakers) and he is super funny, which I feel Sirius would love. They both love music, and Sirius would praise Starlord's taste every single day of the week. Something else Siri would love about StarLord is his found family. He met the Guardians of the Galaxy and they all adopted each other, in the same way, Sirius adopted and was adopted by James and Remus.

Reggie is Bucky Barnes (and this is one of my favourite Marvel characters). Bucky was brainwashed and tortured by Hydra, in pretty much the same way Reggie was by his family. He shared that traumatic past and his absolute desire to be better, and to improve, he doesn't want to be a deatheater anymore and he fights for what's good. Also, if he is Bucky and James is Cap, we can have a bit of Starchaser hehe.

Lily loves Spiderman, and not because James does, nah, Lily has been a fan since she was a kid, she loves his sense of justice and how he fights for what's good. Spiderman's motto "With great power, comes great responsibility" is literally Lily's bible.

Marlene is into Black Window, and not only bc she has a massive crush on her, but because she thinks she is the most badass character in the entire fucking Marvel universe, no joke. She can stand against beasts three times her size, and fight alongside the most powerful superheroes on earth by being just a human woman? She is INCREDIBLE!

Mary gives me Vision vibes, I'm not sure why, but I totally see her reading Vision fanfiction and writing some too.

Barty is a Loki kid, you cannot change my mind. I mean, forgotten and neglected child who has to be exceptionally good at everything to get the attention from his dad? He becomes evil bc he thinks it's the only way he'll get Odin to see him? This to me screams Barty, and he would love Loki.

And lastly, I think Evan likes Quick Silver. Firstly, he thinks he's super hot, but he also loved his relationship with his sister, and he loves Pietro's charm. There's just something about him that he can't stop thinking about. I also feel he would like Mystique, but that's due to her complicated past, and her ability to become anything anyone she wants. He feels it would be so freeing to do that.

PS. Didn't I say I'd go crazy with this analysis? Aaaah I'm such a nerd...

for Marauders Christmas Fest by @the-marauders-fest

Prompt Childhood lovers/high school reunion

Pairing: Alice Fortescue/Lily Evans

Tags: Fluff. First love. First Kiss. Alternate Universe- No magic.

Minific

~~~~

Alice met Lily when they were 5, both were young readers and met at the local library in their small town. They became really close ever since that day, meeting at the library to read together, then they started meeting outside, at the park, the local pool. After a month they started going to each other's houses and became absolutely inseparable, because otherwise, they didn't have any other friends, two outcasts extremely smart chubby girls, whose world treated as freaks of nature, but they found home in each other.

The years went by and their friendship only grew and deepened. Lily practically lived at Alice's house and family ice cream shop, it was just a prize, being with her best friend and away from her awful sister. They did everything together, always walking around town holding hands, making friendship bracelets, they loved making each other gifts and just touching, feeling each other's presence. So the years went by, they grew up together, and knew each other better than anyone else.

Christmas 2005, they were both 13, Lily went to spend Christmas at Alice's, after having a fight with her sister. They had spent all afternoon baking cookies, pies and all the food for her dinner with Alice's dad, Steven, the chef. Dinner was awesome, so after that, they stayed in Alice's room, watching a movie cuddling to fight the cold, they did that all the time, but this time felt different, electric. Of course they knew they liked each other as more then just friends, but they were too afraid to do anything about it, since gay people weren't well seen.

- Tulip, i have to tell you something - Alice spoke all of a sudden- We're moving, my mom got a job offer in London, it's a really good job and her salary will increase significantly, so i have to go- her voice was breaking.

-What, now at the middle of the school year?

- I know this is awful but i can't stay.

- But what about me? I'm gonna miss you

- I know, im gonna miss you too, it's breaking my heart... but we can keep in touch, i'll call you every day and i can come visit..

- It's not the same... you can't go i- she desperately pleased but stopped mid sentence, then continued- I love you

- I love you too, tulip

- No... you don't get it. I LOVE you. Like i am in love with you, the way your dad loves your mom and the way people love each other in the movies... -she cried

- Oh Lily...

- You don't have to say anything, of course you don't feel the same way, im a girl and you're not bent. I'm sorry, i'll shut up now, just forget i said anything

- NO! I love you too... like that, that way. I have for a long time.

- Well, then... What now?

-Can i kiss you? I've never kissed anyone before and i dreamed of you being my first.

- YES! i mean, yes, i would love for you to kiss me.

And so they did. It was soft and innocent, the butterflies in their stomachs were bursting. They couldn't believe this was happening, so they kept doing it. They kept kissing and kissing until their lips were all red. It was awkward but it was theirs. Their moment, their first kiss, friends who have loved each other for years.

The two weeks they had together before Alice leaving was full of kisses and longing stares and softly whispered i love yous. Then Alice Left, and Lily was alone.

- 10 years later -

Its 2015, and Alice and Lily haven't spoken in the last 7 years, a lot had happened to the both of them. Alice went to film school and was working as a photographer, with a movie in the making. Lily had moved to the capital to work at a book publisher, after graduating in English literature and creative writing.

Lily Evans had been living in the capital for eight months now. She was sitting at a café, reading a book wondering why she was working during Christmas holidays, when she heard a knock in the glass. It was a short woman, with very short hair, shaved on the sides and SO many ear piercings, but she recognised her immediately, of course she would, how could she forget? It was her first kiss, her first love. The look of realisation on her face betrayed her. Alice immediately saw it, but even then entered the small shop.

- Lily! Oh god it's been ages! How are you? I meant to keep calling all these years ago, im really sorry i didn't. But ugh why am i bringing this up? Tell me about yourself! How's life been treating you? Is that a book? Are you an author now?.. oh god, im talking too much aren't i? im sorry im nervous as shit

Lily laughed, and started talking. They were both uncomfortable at first, but after the first hour, it was like time had never passed. They told each other everything, about how their sixth-terms went, about university, all of their partners and journeys coming to term with being bisexual, alice coming to terms with being gender non conforming, about their new friends and family. After the shop closed, they went on to a pub, to keep talking. When they parted their ways, saying goodbye, it took all of Lily's courage to ask

"Do you wanna spend Christmas with me? I can't go see my family so im spending it all alone. You don't have to say yes, bye the way... i'm sorry if it's too forward.. sorry forget i asked"

"I would love to spend Christmas with you, tulip"

note: i made this super unpretentiously, just a little comfort for me. i did not go 100% with the high school reunion so i cheated hehehe. also pls be kind i wrote it in like an hour

2, 7, 14 - sending you these as a way to procratinate my own studies :)

Haha that’s valid

2. What fandoms were you a part of, that you aren’t in any longer?

Doctor Who. I watched and enjoyed the Eccleston and Tennant seasons, then lost interest entirely after suffering through one season of Steven Moffat as showrunner

Harry Potter. I mean, I grew up with the books and read my fair share of Marauders Era fanfiction in my early teens, but by the end of my teens I’d lost interest and moved on to other books and fandoms. This wasn’t even related to JKR being a TERF, I lost interest in Harry Potter years before I knew what a TERF was, so I guess it was mostly a matter of no longer being in the target audience for the series

Les Miserables. I still love the book, but a lot less obsessively than when I was 16 and read the unabridged version for the first time and then immediately went online to look for fanfiction about Javert’s moral dilemma, or where my favourite characters actually survived the barricades

A Song of Ice and Fire. I never actually watched the TV series, so my current lack of interest in ASOIAF is mainly because I’ve put that fandom on standby as I wait for the next book to be published

Eragon. The first three books were published while I was still in elementary school and young enough to enjoy them and develop fan theories with my friends about how the series would end, but by the time the fourth book came out, I’d read enough other fantasy works to recognise some of the flaws I was unable to spot when I was younger

7. Name a character you wouldn’t mind naming someone after

If I had to pick baby names from Tolkien’s universe, I’d go with hobbit names, because at least you can find some that don’t sound too weird. Elanor sounds nice, though I might consider changing it to Eleanor/Elinor just to stick with a common spelling

As for pet names, well I really want a black cat named Sauron

14. Name a fandom, ship or character that you love, that others would send you hate mail for liking

Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) from ASOIAF, probably. I enjoy reading about horrible bastard characters doing horrible bastard things for morally awful reasons

my muses if they had tiktok ( assuming modern au / having access to it in their respective universes )

aka i had this idea in the shower and my brain won’t let me rest until i post it-

ricky: definitely posts a bunch of tricks with his skateboard/videos from the skate park in general, with memes in between. he does one of those “bop or flop: musical edition” things with the theater kids, but he doesn’t know Any of them unless they’re super popular, ones nini was in, or hsm

steven: a bunch of variation here. does a lot of wholesome/positivity videos ( they make him feel like he’s helping someone/like he’s Needed again oop- ), DEFINITELY makes a bunch with or of the gems whether it’s CG’s or one’s at Little Homeschool, a lot of self deprecating jokes/oversharing/memes to cope

angie: SHITPOST QUEEN, minecraft, the occasional art videos, “am i a lady, or am i rat,” lots of gay shit, “characters that are secretly gay that disney didn’t want you to know about,” posts a lot but random ones get attention occasionally

carol: didn’t get it until peter introduced it to her ( i am legally allowed to say this ), has very few posts but a lot of followers and a LOT of thirsty wlw in her comments you know i’m right

adora: literally is clueless about all social media, gets the hang of it after glimmer and bow introduce her to it, doesn’t really post videos with other audios just ones of herself or her friends, occasional sword tricks, again with the thirsty wlw

lexi: has an account, but doesn’t post

robin: doesn’t post too much, but when she does it’s GOLD. a lot of gay shit but those are all on friends only

will: again not Too Many posts, a LOT of nerdy shit when he does though, art time lapses but just sketches, “something traumatic happened that changed my life check”

connor: has a general understanding of the app but not of Meme Culture so he does NOT know what he’s doing, but somehow becomes a huge meme and gains a ton of followers

kara: she’s a mommy account i’m NOT WRONG

markus: lots of political tiktoks, sometimes paintings

sirius: a TON of videos with the marauders ( general dumbass shit they do, their pranks but its an ongoing series, the “put a finger down” or “point to the person who” trends ), RENEGADE IN FRONT OF DISAPPOINTED PARENTS ( everyone calls his mom a Karen ), some batshit video he got of his family definitely blows up

thank you for coming to my ted talk

#(I...I had to do this- :LKDSHJGVJD)#(i left out some that i didnt know what to do for butkHBDSJS THE MOST IMPORTANT HC IVE EVER POSTED)#(me: has a million drafts on both blogs. needs to study for a test tomorrow)#(also me: does this)#(i only speak facts...)#general / headcanons

I wrote so much thoughtspew about the first two seasons of Farscape and serialization vs episodic plot in late-90′s TV and character progression, and then I put a cut there because I’m not an animal.

An interesting thing that happens in Farscape (and I’m a couple of episodes into season 3, and have not been particularly good about any sort of liveblogging, as expected): we don’t actually see the first time John Crichton, intentionally and in his right mind, specifically chooses to and succeeds in killing someone he’d consider a person.

I was keeping an eye out for it--I knew it would happen sooner or later, and early Season 1 Crichton, who thinks he can talk Crais out of his vendetta by explaining it was a car accident; who brokers a deal with the Genesis and then sends a Marauder crew of Peacekeepers off of Moya alive; who spends the entire first episode confused and captured and shot at by various people and then insists, when he’s finally the one with the gun and the handcuff keys, that the Moya crew rescue Aeryn right along with him--that Crichton is so deliberately and fundamentally not a killer. It’s one of his firmament truths about the world. You don’t kill people. That’s not how the world works.

And it was so clearly one of the things that was going to get stripped away in the breaking-down of John Crichton (which I remembered enough about Farscape to know would happen, but could not have described the trajectory of). So I was keeping an eye out for it, and I realized, we never quite get it.

There’s a moment in Maldus’s trap, with Crais, where he decides to hell with it and tries to kill Crais--but fails.

There’s the virus that takes him over, uses John’s own two hands to beat a Peacekeeper scientist to death--but John doesn’t remember that, wasn’t in control, isn’t really to blame.

And then there’s the Peacekeeper ship that leaves Moya at the end of the episode, that John figures out how to blow up by its trail of cesium fuel--but the only person on board the ship is possessed by the virus, is a zombie, could never be saved, and everyone knows killing a zombie isn’t the same as killing a real person, right?

There’s the firefight as he escapes the Gammak base, and maybe he hits someone lethally and maybe not, but who knows? There is, of course, the plan several days later that destroys the base completely--ignites an entire moon, and surely dozens, hundreds (thousands?) die with that. So maybe that’s it. Maybe that’s the moment. Or maybe by that point the moment’s already passed.

By the fourth episode of season 2, John stabs T’raltixx straight through the chest with a quolta blade, stone dead, up close, at a range to see his face and his blood, but of course he’s half-crazed from light emissions at that point, so that’s not quite right either. But by that point it doesn’t feel new or horrifying any more anyway. By that point John carries a pulse-pistol as a matter of course, and has probably used it off-camera and we haven’t even seen it. By the time his caveman and superbrain doubles show up he’s ready to shoot first and ask questions later. By the time he’s kidnapped by the Scarran on the commerce planet, he thinks of himself as a person who’s killed, who’s grown callous to the suffering of others, who his mother would be ashamed of.

John spends a lot more time threatening to shoot people than actually shooting them, but his aversion to pitched battle in the timeslip episode near the beginning of season 3 has a lot more to do with timeline integrity than avoiding death. He goes into a firefight of pitched battle at the end, and shoots to kill, and succeeds again and again and again, and the only people whose deaths he regrets at the end of it are the ones he tried to save.

The thing is, I’m really into how these gradual character shifts happen. I’m intrigued by the lack of a clear-cut start/stop point. Because I think that’s how it happens for the characters, too.

John Crichton never wakes up and thinks, I’m a different person today than I was yesterday. He doesn’t notice the first tilot me he really kills someone, on purpose--it’s a thing that happens in the middle of ten thousand other things, and by the time he has time to sit down and process the fact that it happened, it has happened, and has been happened, and there’s something else new to worry about now anyway.

John stops wearing his IASA flight suit and it’s just sort of a thing that happens, and maybe it’s laundry day or maybe it’s the day he dressed up to pretend to be a Peacekeeper and everything went to shit, and in retrospect it matters but at the moment it’s nothing. You can point to the end of S1 as a major turning point for him, but plenty of things turned around before that point happened. And of course, you can point to the chip as the explanation for so much of the rage and the violent impulses John’s throwing around in season 2--but it’s not like one of the (many, many) one-off mindfrells that dissipate at the end of an episode and leave whoever-it-is alone to be themselves again. Season 3 John may be ‘himself again’, but whoever his self is, it’s a pretty far cry from who he was when the chip first went in.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this gradual style of character development, where the Big Meaningful Things just sort of happen in the background and you don’t notice until they’re over. And I wonder how much of it is about the way episodic TV happened in the late 90′s vs today.

In the late 90′s, nobody made TV shows for people to marathon. I remember 1999. We had a VCR, which nobody in the house knew how to program, and no cable which meant that any episodes of Farscape I watched were on tape at my best friend’s house and usually out of order. Any shows I did watch as they aired were often out of order: some weeks it’s a new episode, some weeks it’s a rerun, some weeks you go to your sister’s play and miss it entirely, some weeks it’s preempted by The Sports. Serialization was a thing, but there was absolutely less continuity from one episode to the next than you might get from, say, Sens8, or Steven Universe, or even something like The Good Place--which is an episodic sitcom, but still builds each episode off of events in the episode before. I remember watching The Wire for the first time, on DVD, in 2010, and saying to my friends, “this is a different kind of tv show”. Every single episode acted as a chapter in a story, rather than a stand-alone piece that could be shuffled into a different order within the guidelines of a couple of specific signpost events. And the kind of character development you do in a show like that, a show made for the internet generation, a show whose creators expect it to be binged, is different.

Farscape has a lot of continuity, but it also uses the status quo as a tool. Half the episodes start of in media res. We don’t need to know the specifics of how we got to wherever we are today, and it doesn’t have anything to do with the last episode. We know the generalities: we’re on Moya, we’re generally in trouble of some kind, and now we’re going to find out what new difficulties today has brought. Along with that, we know the status quo of characters. In Season 1, we know John Crichton is desperate to go home to Earth, is confused and out of place, would rather talk than hurt anybody, or let anybody hurt anyone else. That’s who he is. Episodes where he doesn’t act that way--trying to kill Crais and then very nearly killing Maldus--they’re anomolies. One really bad day. That’s why it’s so easy to shrug off the time he explodes the Peacekeeper shuttle with the virus-infected captain in it. That can’t really be Crichton committing murder, because that’s not who he is. That’s not who the status quo says he is. If that’s who he is, it changes the status quo.

And the thing is, using status quo as a tool like that allows the show to do a lot of very gradual character development without the audience or the characters themselves actually noticing. Season 2 Crichton is so angry all the time, but--well, it’s just bad days, because we know Crichton, and he’s a good guy who doesn’t like violence. Or, once it’s been going on long enough--okay, I guess this is the new status quo, he’s just an angry guy. Was he always like this? Guess he changed while we weren’t looking. The show doesn’t start to reveal what’s up with the chip until the back half of the season. And then suddenly there’s a reason Crichton’s been acting like this, and that makes sense, but also by that point it’s become part of the status quo. Crichton knows how to do violence and is so frustrated all the time. That’s part of who he is now.

And I think the show really benefits from being watched with that mindset, because it feels like the characters are just as used to thinking of themselves and their friends in terms of status quo as we are. I’m thinking about the episode where Zahn and D’Argo and Rygel rip off Pilot’s arm and then turn on each other. By that point they’ve stood by each other through all sorts of problems, risked their lives for each other, and for Pilot and Moya, no question. But the opportunity to go home comes up, and they each think about who they are, who they think they are, and they think, ‘I am a person for whom going home is the Number One Priority’. Never mind how little time they’ve spent seeking out a way home compared to how much time they’ve spent taking care of each other. By season 3, John loves Aeryn, loves Moya and her crew, would die for them and has actively tried to do so on multiple occasions, but he puts them all in danger for a chance at a wormhole and a way home. Not because going home is actually more important to him than their safety--if you set out the choices in front of him, if you said ‘You go home but Moya and everyone on her will suffer or die’, he’d give up the chance to go home without question. But the option comes up, and the little self-identification flag in his head goes, ‘Astronaut John Crichton, US of A, wants to go back to Earth more than anything in the world’, like a one-note character description blurb.

Farscape works really well when viewed as a show about a bunch of people who spend very little time actually thinking about where they’re going and why. They drive around in circles getting into and out of trouble, trying to keep safe and keep fed, reacting to one problem after another, and not one of them has any kind of plan for getting the things they say they want. Ask anybody on Moya if they intend to spend the rest of their lives there, they’d say no (or, ‘probably, and it looks like that’ll be about half an arn, now shut up and let us figure out how not to die’). But not one of them have an actual plan for leaving her.

#farscape #driveby meta attack #I have no idea if there's an actual thesis here #I think I circled around it and lost the plot a couple of times

Hello! I’m Ellie, this is Dorcas and I hope you enjoy this trainwreck of a soft as all hell introduction to my babe. I’m super excited to be writing here okay byeeeeeeeee.

is that LILY JAMES wearing that HUFFLEPUFF scarf ? no, it appears to be DORCAS MEADOWES who happens to be a SEVENTH year and a MUGGLEBORN !! SHE is CISFEMALE, and i heard they’re COMPASSIONATE and BENEVOLENT but might also seem NAIVE and DAMAGED. they appear to be leaning towards the side of the ORDER, but this is a conversation we should be having somewhere else. ( ellie / nineteen / gmt / she/her )

TRIGGER WARNINGS : death, injury, hospital mention, dogs.

PART ONE. BASICS / MAGICAL FULL NAME & MEANINGS : Dorcas ( GAZELLE ) Andromache ( MAN / BATTLE ) Meadowes ( LIVED IN OR NEAR A MEADOW. ) DATE OF BIRTH : November 16th. AGE : 17. ZODIAC SIGN : Scorpio. HEIGHT : 5 ft 7 in. EYE COLOR : Dark brown. LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED : Ambidextrous. FAVORITE COLOR : Light blue / black. SCHOOL : Hogwarts. BLOOD STATUS : Muggleborn. WHAT ARE THEIR PARENTS JOBS? : Her mother was a stay-at-home tutor, and her father was a doctor. ( Her aunt is a therapist. Her uncle is a lawyer. ) DO THEY HAVE ANY MAGICAL BLOOD? : Not in her immediate family. Her fifth, twice removed, much, much older cousin is a wizard (of Emeric Switch fame! Imagine that!) HOW DID THEIR MAGIC FIRST MANIFEST ITSELF? : She wanted to talk to the dogs at the local pet store, and accidentally ‘phased’ through the door. She was found half an hour later just stroking a pitbull puppy which had latched itself onto her. YEAR : Seventh year. HOUSE : Hufflepuff. PATRONUS : Panda. ( THE PANDA IS A RESOURCEFUL ANIMAL, AND THOSE WITH IT AS A PATRONUS ARE THE SAME. THEY ARE GOOD AT USING WHATEVER IS AROUND THEM, AND INCREDIBLY CREATIVE AND BRIGHT. THEY ARE FRIENDLY AND WARM, AND MANY MAY GO TO THEM FOR ADVICE OR HELP, WHICH THE PANDA WILL WILLINGLY GIVE. THEY ARE A BIT OF A HEALER BY NATURE, ENJOYING COMPANY AROUND THEM AND USING IT TO ENHANCE THEMSELVES. THEY LOVE TO EXPLORE MANY AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE WORLD, TRYING TO BROADEN THEIR HORIZONS AND KEEP THEIR MINDS OPEN. ) BOGGART : Her father, sat in the same armchair he’d always loved. His head turned towards her as he tells her it was all her fault, and the room shrinks. UPDATED: Earlier, and for very good reason, I wrote a drabble centered around what her Boggart would be for a different roleplay. It’s different than what it is now, but I’m nevertheless extremely proud of it. You can read it here. AMORTENTIA : What is it about true love, dearest? What makes everyone go wild? Is it the prospect that someone, someone whole, and unflinching, is out there - waiting for you? Waiting for your embrace, your touch? Or is it just that they are tired - tired of making homes in people and receiving nothing back? You, though. You make homes in all manner of things. And, anyway, who decided homes can’t be humans? Who decided home is a stationary concept? That your heart can’t be held in the hands of many people, that it cannot be crushed and sewn back together in a matter of minutes? Who decided that love, that great big messy concept, has to be romantic? You are as messy in love as you are in life - that is to say, you build pieces of yourself from the people around you, from the pieces of themselves they give you. The skin beneath your ear? Composed of the whispers of secrets from your first boyfriend. Your nose? Your mother’s love. The inside of your wrist? The balm of Emmeline’s arms around your body, shielding you the only way she can. No. It isn’t so impossible that love is greater than the romance. That love is so many more things. The Greeks of old always said there were many kinds of love. Eros. Agape. Philia. Storge. Ludos. Pragma. Philautia. It is these things that you, alone, recite in that dungeon. The cold seems to envelop you as you take in a breath, the tendrils of your senses magnifying. It can be overwhelming, you know, but you are not as surprised as you expect to be. Warmth, sinking between your fingertips, laps at your cheek, at your lips as you breathe out. It sticks to you, to your tongue. Like caramel and peanut butter, the batter of the cookies your aunt always makes, the s’mores that you made around the campfire just last week. Her hair, or is it her perfume (?) wafting in your direction - regardless, you stay rooted to your place. Daisies, growing wild, the way they had at home, in your back garden. The smell of old brick and something crumbling - that weird Dragonleather smell that stays in the air whenever Hagrid passes, the smell of bursting fireworks (that time that the Marauders hadn’t realized there was anyone still down the corridor) and butterbeer, warming. Your dogs breath, laughter bubbling up as you remark on the smell of toothpaste, on peppermint and mossy treebark. You’re not surprised to smell all the things that make this place home - you’re not surprised to smell that it’s not made up of just one person - just one thing, fixable - but many. Moving parts that flare up and slide away into the background of your senses. WAND : Phoenix tail feather core. 9 inches. Black Walnut. PETS : Owl, named Athena. Also owns a pitbull, the light of her life, Agape ( LOVE AND AFFECTION ) or Aggie, for short. CHARACTER INSPIRATION : Cinderella, Sonya Rostova, Izzie Stevens, Craig Middlebrooks, Ann Perkins, Ella Lopez, Jess Day, Riley Matthews, Penelope Garcia, Kara Danvers, Capheus Onyango, and Jane Villanueva. ( CHARACTER TAG HERE. )

PART TWO. ARE YOU GOOD AT… DANCING? : I certainly try. SINGING? : Yes! COOKING? : Somewhat. DUELING? : Never been better. STUDYING? : If my grades are anything to go by, yes. MAGIC? : Uh, I’d hope so.

PART THREE. HAVE YOU EVER… DRIVEN A CAR? : Yes. Not well, though. FALLEN IN LOVE? : … Yes. HAD SEX? : Yes. LAUGHED SO HARD YOU CRIED? : I don’t know anyone who enjoys their life who hasn’t. SMOKED? : ... No. DONE DRUGS? : Nope. BROKEN THE LAW? : Accidentally. KILLED SOMEONE? : No.

PART FOUR. LITTLE SECRETS BIGGEST FEAR : Losing everyone. And everything. SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE : Emme, McGonagall. SOMEONE YOU FEAR : I don’t really know. Dumbledore, when he’s mad. Whatever that ponce of a miserable Muggle hater is called. SOMEONE YOU MISS : Grandpa. Terry. My brother. Mum. Dad. SOMEONE YOU COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT : Emme. Myself, too. SOMEONE YOU COULD KILL : Anyone who hates muggles. DO YOU WANT KIDS? : Maybe someday. DO YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED? : To the right person? Yeah. BIGGEST REGRET : Not sleeping in the same room as my brother that night. ( I could have saved him. I should have saved him. ) CAN YOU SEE THESTRALS? : Yes.

PART FIVE. FINISH THIS SENTENCE I AM… : Sleepy. Wishing Emmeline was here. I WISH… : Ice-cream could become a person. MAYBE ONE DAY… : I won’t feel this guilt anymore. SOMETIMES I… : Fall in love in the morning, and out of it by lunch. MY FAVOURITE SUBJECTS ARE… : Herbology. MY LEAST FAVOURITE SUBJECTS ARE… : History of Magic, Divination. IF I COULD DO IT AGAIN, I WOULD… : Save my brother. IF I COULD GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL, I WOULD CHOOSE… : Beauxbatons, not Ilvermorny. IF I COULD CHOOSE A DEATHLY HALLOW, I WOULD CHOOSE… : The Stone. ( Say it like it isn’t a mantra, Dorcas. As though it isn’t something that’s poisoned your dreams since discovering those stories may be based in reality. )

PART SIX. MISCELLANEOUS

DESCRIBE THEIR AESTHETIC IN THREE WORDS : Sea, daisies, laughter. THEME SONG : Lavender’s Blue ( CINDERELLA SOUNDTRACK - 2015. ) / Sonya Alone ( BRITTAIN ASHFORD - NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 - ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING. ) / Times are Hard for Dreamers (Pop Version) ( PIPPA SOO - AMELIE - ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING. ) TOP FIVE SONGS IN THEIR ( MODERN ) PLAYLIST : You Are Enough - Sleeping at Last, Yellow - Coldplay, When I Kissed the Teacher - ABBA, Breathe - In The Heights, & Paradise - George Ezra. VINE THAT FITS THEM : ( x ) RANDOM HEADCANONS : 1. Dorcas loves deeply. Deeply, deeply, deeply. It’s intrinsic to who she is. She’s protective, maddeningly so, and unable to sit still. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and is a nightmare when it comes to pacing herself. She knows not of patience, or of taking time to breathe. She consists solely of love - a palace built between her ribs of the people that she loves. In this, she is a typical Taurus Hufflepuff. ( x ) 2. Dorcas lost her parents at a very young age. She doesn’t often speak of it - speak about them, about the parents that she lost and the brother that she was unable to save. They were killed in a home burglary turned murder spree when she was six. They’d been meant to go on holiday, but Dorcas had come down with the stomach flu, so they’d foregone the vacation when it spread to Dorcas’s younger sister, Calliope. The only reason that Dorcas survived was that she managed to climb beneath her bed with her younger sister Calliope facing the wall, only her back visible from the opening created by the duvet. She gets stabbed three times, one of those stab wounds narrowly avoiding piercing her spleen and the major abdominal arteries. She still has the scars on her lower back. Callie was uninjured, and she was the one who managed to get to the neighbors house (by climbing out of the window from the second floor and dropping at least eleven feet). Dorcas remembers, mostly, finding out her parents and brother were murdered. The rest of it often feels incredibly foggy. She went through therapy for a number of years before she was discharged from the North West Surrey Mental Health Trust. The nightmares, today, are infrequent, but some nights are worse than others. She often takes a calming draught before she goes to sleep - provided by Madame Pomfrey at the Hospital Wing. 3. Dorcas’s best friend in the universe is Emmeline Vance. They aren’t in the same house, but that doesn’t matter. They met at eleven, on the train to Hogwarts. Dorcas, with brown hair down to her hip, and Emmeline’s hair newly cut into a bob ( her parents had gone wild at her for that one, ) and that was it. The rest, as they say, is History. If you can’t find Dorcas, she’s usually with Emmeline. 60% of her spare time is spent wherever Emmeline is. They’re one another’s great loves. She doesn’t know what she’d be without Emme. 4. Dorcas wants to be a Herbologist or a Healer when she graduates. She’s not sure how likely that plan is to succeed with everything going on - how far she’ll get before she abandons it all to help the people that she wants to help, desperately. As it stands, 40% of her spare time is spent either in the Potions classroom or the Herbology classroom - Potions is a required course for becoming a Healer. 5. If this were a modern AU, Dorcas’d totally be a theater kid. She’d also be that kid that is always making scrapbooks - always half finishing projects, the one that has too many cacti and exotic plants in the corner of her room. She’d keep her phone on her, always, lockscreen always changing. She’d love bands like Little Mix and butcher the Spanish when she tried to sing songs like Despacito. 6. FUTURE: Dorcas manages to live through the Wizarding War ( well, mostly ) without casting the Killing Curse. She’s fast, she’s quick, and she doesn’t stand still. She’s often the one coming careening past the others, ducking beneath their outstretched arms as light - green, red, blue, yellow - is cast against the ground. She Apparates in and out, as though her being there is a mirage. People, injured, bystanders, disappear from where they’d been only seconds before, as soon as her hand secures around anywhere she can grip on. She works with trembling hands, to heal those that she can. Four separate times she manages to Apparate away from under Voldemort’s nose. The first time is with her arm hooked under Fabian Prewett, his unconscious body bruised and the cut on his arm infected with what she suspects is a modified strain of the venom of the Venomous Tentacula. The second time is with a handful of wands - all belonging to fellow Order members. The third time is with Dedalus Diggle. He’s a handful, that time, splaying limbs, cracking as they twist around. They have a spell maker in their midst but Dorcas is the only one that can sooth the pain, to make it all more bearable while they try and fix it. The fourth time is with Emmeline. Emme’s far too headstrong for her own good, and knows how rare it is that Voldemort himself makes an appearance. Dorcas is the one that breaks Bellatrix’s focus - the Cruciatus curse trained on her best friend, on her Emmeline, flickers when Dorcas passes, a blur of black leather and hair tied up in a bun, bangs hanging low and the light long since dimmed in her eyes. When Emmeline comes to, the pain still ricochets through her bones, and Dorcas is powerless to help. It takes days for the aftershocks to fade. The faintest roar of rage is still heard in Dorcas’s brain. She’s just too slow, in the end, to save herself, although she doesn’t try. She’s not ready, but she is. She’s not happy, but she is. She knew there was only one way this could end. The one incapable of love striking down the one composed entirely of it is the only end that makes sense in a world at war - in a world in which war stories are not one of morals. War stories are made of absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil. It just takes her years to realize. Years to reconcile. Being soft does not make her immune to this. Being alive doesn’t. She is happy, but it is not a happy ending. No - it’s a very sad beginning.

Dancing’s Not a Crime

A/N: I was in the mood for some royality, and kind of wanted to make up for Patt not being in chapter 2 (or 3 spoilers) of Coral and Crowns jglhdsfjslsd. So here, take this! I managed this in an hour and a half by writing nonstop

Song: Dancing’s Not a Crime by P!ATD

Summary: Patton may be having a bad day, but when Roman asks him to try a fusion dance with him to see if it could really be done, well, Patton can’t say no.

Pairings: Royality

Words: 2,448

Warnings: There’s like 1 scene of characters making out and also a few suggestive jokes/comments but other than that you should be good!

Patton was laying stomach first on his bed, watching cat videos with his hoodie pulled up over his face. He called this his “broodie hoodie” look, because he was brooding in a hoodie!

Either way, Patton had a sad day, and he was trying to cheer himself up, because Patton didn’t wanna bother the others with his sad day, especially when it was small enough to fix himself. Sadness did not constitute making others sad, darnit!

There was a knock on his door, and Patton sat up and looked over curiously, wondering if someone needed their good ol’ Pappy Patton to lift their spirits or offer some fatherly advice. He pasted on a half genuine smile (the genuinity would probably increase when he saw whoever it was at his door) and called out, “Come in!”

The door flew open, and Roman twirled in dramatically, kicking it shut and flopping down next to Patton on the bed dramatically, holding an arm up to his forehead in obvious woe. Patton giggled, smile genuinity up to 56%! Roman looked up at him and fluttered his lashes (at which Patton tried not to blush).

“What can I do for you, Ro?” Patton asked, immediately burying his hands into Roman’s hair. Roman very obviously enjoyed physical contact, and Patton wasn’t one to complain when he got to run his hands through his soft, shiny hair. Roman nearly purred, and Patton tried to hide his endeared squeal as a cough.

“I,” he drew out the I dramatically, “had the bestest idea, and only you would suffice to trying it out,” Roman said. Patton tilted his head curiously, hands still combing gently through Roman’s hair.

“What idea would that be, My Prince?” Patton asked. He wondered if he imagined Roman’s pupils getting a bit wider at that nickname, but quickly brushed the thought aside as Roman gently took Patton’s wrists, hands still buried deep in in Roman’s hair. He looked at Patton and grinned, a hint of nervousness to it, but still perfectly charming. Patton’s own smile genuinity was up to 64%.

“Wellllll you seeeee,” Roman was dragging his words again, this time in almost a teasing way, “I may have re-bingewatched some Steven Universe, and I realized that since we are figments of Thomas’s personality, and therefore imaginary, I was wondering if we would be able to fuse like gems if we danced.” Patton blinked rapidly, thoughts twirling. He had a million questions. Was that possible? How would that work exactly? Would they have to look like gems? But most importantly…

“Why me?” Patton asked softly. Roman looked at him, his gaze soft in a way that made Patton’s heart flip-flop in his chest. Smile genuinity up to 72%.

“Well, I know Virge would be far too worried about what could go wrong, so he wouldn’t be relaxed and focused on dancing, and Logan would probably just call the idea stupid. Besides, even if it doesn’t work- I’ll get to dance with you,” Roman winked as he finished speaking. Patton couldn’t help his flush. Was that flirting? Did that count as flirting? Was Roman flirting with him?

“We don’t have to, though, if you are not comfortable,” Roman said, voice a bit sad around the edges. Patton immediately shook his head before realizing that was confusing and verbally stating (read: shouting)

“I’d love to dance with you! Or, try and fuse, whatever,” he babbled, pulling his hands back. Roman growled suddenly and pulled Patton’s hands back, burying them in his hair again. Patton tried to keep his cheeks from burning anymore but That Sure Was A Sound.

“Excellent. Just...keep doing that a little longer before we start,” Roman rushed the sentence out, as if embarrassed. Patton titered a bit, but kept up the soothing motions. He felt like his heart was pounding against his ribcage. It really did seem like Roman was flirting with him, but he wished he could be sure…

~~~

“Okay, so, don’t judge me, but this is a song Virgil gave me. I can’t help it though! Might be edgy, but it’s still a total bop!” Roman said, plugging his phone into a speaker and tapping a bit. Roman had soundproofed the room with a flick of his hand (Patton may or may not have tucked the information that Roman could do such a thing in the darkest corner of his mind) so Virgil and Logan wouldn’t hear the music blasting as they danced.

Patton’s feet swung as he sat on his bed, waiting. At one point, he no longer felt it was appropriate for being broodie in his hoodie, so he began to pull it off and tie it around his shoulders. The light tapping of Roman messing with his phone stopped, and Patton paused in his tying to look and make sure he was okay. Roman’s cheeks were pink and he was looking at Patton with an odd expression Patton didn’t recognize. He gave Roman a grin (semi-worried: genuinity 70%).

“Something wrong, My Prince?” Patton asked. Roman coughed and looked away.

“No, no! Nothing, Dearheart,” Roman said, voice smooth, and if that didn’t send flutters through Patton’s stomach.

“Alright I think we’re good to go,” Roman hit play, and a song Patton didn’t recognize began to play.

I'm a moon-walker

I'm like MJ up in the clouds

I know it sounds awkward

I'm filthy as charged, filthy as charged

Roman grabbed Patton by the hand and yanked him to his feet, mouthing along to the next words.

You're a sweet talker

But darlin' whatcha gonna say now?

The midnight marauders

The higher never come down, never come down

Patton giggled as Roman waggled his eyebrows along with the words. Roman took his other hand and began tapping his foot to the beat, Patton mimicked him.

The beat suddenly changed, and Patton felt Roman pull his left arm forward as he bounced forward on his left foot.

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Each time the word “dancing” was sung, Roman would bounce from his left foot in front, to his right foot in back, pulling Patton’s arms as he did so. Left, right, left.

Unless you do it without me

Roman twirled Patton out, then twirled him back in. Patton felt slightly out of breath, though he wasn’t sure if it was because of the dancing or because of how beautiful Roman looked.

Patton moved in tandem with Roman this time, right foot forward, left foot back.

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it without me

Without me

Roman didn’t twirl Patton this time, instead letting go to shimmy a little in a way that made Patton laugh. Smile genuinity up to 80%

The two kept up their pattern whenever the chorus popped up- with Roman dramatically dancing around Patton whenever it wasn’t playing. Patton laughed and threw in his own (slightly terrible) dances.

Eventually, the song ended. The two clasped hands, breathing hard.

“Oh no! We didn’t fuse,” Patton fretted. Roman shrugged and threw another wink.

“Ah, you just tear all other thoughts from my mind, My Heart,” okay that had to be flirting, “but fret not, I will simply replay the song. We have the dance moves down now, so we should be able to focus on the idea of fusing.” Roman snapped his fingers and the song began again.

As the chorus began this time, Roman threw mouthing along right out the window and simply began to sing.

“Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime. Unless you do it without me. Unless you do it without me!” he sang. Patton grinned and beat Roman to the punch.

“Dancing-” he sang, glad Roman caught on

“-Dancing-”

“Dancing’s not a crime!”

“Unless you do it-”

“-do it-”

“-do it do it do it,” Roman pulled Patton close, chest to chest.

“Without me!” Patton pulled back, deciding to dare a playful wink, and oh, the fire in Roman’s eyes was not an unwelcome reaction.

They pulled apart as the chorus ended. Roman danced much closer to Patton this time, leaning in, hands brushing again Patton’s arms, and- at one point- his lower back. Patton simply smirked, though his blush was certainly giving him away.

The chorus began again, and when it came to spin, Patton decided to catch Roman off guard and be the one to twirl him. Roman managed to get through the twirl, but stumbled when Patton pulled him back, causing him to knock right into Patton, who wrapped his arms around Roman’s neck in alarm.

Roman caught himself- and Patton- last second, successfully dipping the man. The music faded into the background as the two looked into each others’ eyes. Chest to chest, foreheads together, noses brushing.

They blinked in time with each other, their heartbeats syncing, their breaths mixing. Patton felt warm all over, warm, warm, warm.

Two heartbeats beating in time with the pulse of the song.

One heartbeat beating along to the rhythm.

Two breaths mixing.

One breath, inhale. Exhale.

He stood there for a moment, feeling a bit lightheaded, but oh so full of love, love, love! He wasn’t sure who he was exactly, but he was so, so happy. He smiled, and it was 100% genuine.

Then, their thoughts clashed suddenly, mostly in surprise and delight. One became two once more, and Roman and Patton fell apart. The song finished and they simply lay on their backs, staring up at the ceiling of Patton’s bedroom.

“Oh...my… GOODNESS WE FUSED!” Patton sat bolt upright, lifting his arms above his head in triumph. “I mean, it was only for like, five seconds, but it was so cool!” Roman had a hand on his forehead, looking slightly shocked.

“I… I didn’t actually expect it to work!” Roman said, tone fill of disbelief. Patton frowned the tiniest bit, scooting his way over to Roman and, without really thinking, laying over top of him. Roman sucked in a tiny breath.

“What?!” It was Patton’s turn to be shocked, “Roman, this was your idea!” Roman looked to the side sheepishly.

“I… may have just been looking for an excuse to flirt with you,” Roman said, avoiding all eye contact. Patton’s stomach lurched, but not necessarily in a bad way.

“So you were flirting with me,” he said, more to himself than Roman. Roman looked at Patton, a bit exasperated.

“Patton, I’ve been flirting with you for the past three months.”

“Oh.” Roman burst into laughter, eyes closed in delight, hair sticking up in all directions from Patton playing with it earlier and from the sweat caused by dancing. Patton realized that since Roman had been flirting with him, he must like him. And Patton liked Roman, so that meant…

Patton ran his hands into Roman’s hair, and gently closed his fists. Roman’s eyes flew open and he met Patton’s gaze. Slowly, Patton gave Roman’s hair a light tug, urging him up. Roman complied, and Patton slowly leaned forward on his chest. He could feel the rapid beating of one of their hearts from where their chests were pressed together, but he wasn’t sure whose it was. He wondered if they could accidently fuse again while kissing. He guessed he’d find out.

Their lips were a sliver apart, and Patton kept his gaze on Roman’s, waiting for him to pull away, to say no. He didn’t, so Patton lightly connected their lips. It was soft, chaste, and Patton pulled away, keeping his hands in Roman’s hair. Roman stared for a moment, and Patton felt the fluttering worry in his gut.

Suddenly, there were legs around his waist, and Patton felt the world go topsy turvy as he was suddenly on his back. Roman was hovering over him, pressing their lips together again, much more urgently then Patton had. Patton whimpered and yanked slightly on Roman’s hair. Roman pulled back and growled, much like he had earlier, and Patton smirked a bit. Roman scowled, but there was a playful spark in his gaze.Then they were kissing again, long and desperate, but somehow still so, so sweet.

They finally parted, Roman gasping as he laid his head against Patton’s chest. Patton stopped tugging and went back to carding his hands through Roman’s hair. They didn’t say anything for a moment.

“So, did you wanna try fusing again, now that that’s out of the way?” Patton murmured. Roman let out a happy little sigh.

“Yes, but later. Right now, I just wanna cuddle my new boyfriend, and kiss him, and maybe take a nap.” Patton giggled and playfully wiggled his eyebrows.

“Man, sounds like a lucky boyfriend you got there,” he teased. Roman chuckled, and it vibrated through Patton’s entire body.

“I’d say I’m the lucky one,” Roman murmured next to Patton’s ear, kissing his jaw lightly. Patton giggled again, sure his face was pink.

Roman stood, helping Patton to his feet. A second later, though, Patton was off his feet again, and in Roman’s arms. With a flick of his wrist, the door opened, and Roman sauntered out.

“Where are we going?” Patton asked.

“My bed is bigger, more room for cuddles...among other things,” Roman winked and Patton’s cheeks went from pink to scarlet.

Roman laid him gently on his bed which was- true to his word- much larger than Patton’s, before he crawled next to him, pulling Patton’s back to his chest and wrapping his arms around his middle. He began to little kisses along the back and side of his neck, causing Patton made a happy sound in the back of his throat.

“You know, I was pretty sad earlier today,” the words slipped out before Patton could stop them, and Roman halted his kisses for a moment.

“You were?” he sounded genuinely concerned, but placed another sweet kiss to Patton’s jaw. Patton hummed in confirmation, squirming in Roman’s arms until he was released enough to turn to face his boyfriend (that word gave him goosebumps in all the best ways).

“I was, but you made it better,” Patton whispered, like it was a secret. Roman’s eyes fluttered a bit, looking as if Patton had told him he was the most stunning person he’d ever laid eyes on (which was also true).

“Well I- I hope I can continue to make your bad days good ones, regardless of whether I do so intentionally or not,” Roman said it like a promise. A word he’d honor to his dying day. Patton didn’t doubt it.

“I know you will,” Patton said, and he kissed him on the lips, sweet, and gentle; oh so grateful and full of love, love, love.

hey ! i’m currently looking for some new plots + partners, so i’ve put a list below the cut of some stuff i’m interested in doing. there is also a list of fcs at the very end ! if you would like to do any of these with me, please either shoot me a dm, like this post (and i will message you), or add me on disc/ord ( lizzie#5644 )!!

most of these should work with any pairing !! i’m happy to do f/f, m/f or m/m !

Anything with sirens, but especially a plot inspired by To Kill a Kingdom. Muse A is a siren that loses her abilities and has to kill a notorious siren hunter (aka Muse B) to get them back, so she boards their ship, with the intent of killing them, but shit happens. Probably feelings + a game of cat and mouse.

I am currently in love with the Marauders era of Harry Potter and I’m willing to do almost anything related to that (my favorite characters to write are James Potter, Rita Skeeter and Bellatrix Black, but I’m open to writing anyone + any ship).

With that said, Harry Potter plots are my kryptonite and I am always down to do any hp plot !!

Anything with Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour ( I’ll write either! ). Just cute things, them being married, domestic stuff.

Also anything with James Potter and Lily Evans. ANYTHING.

A Hogwarts professor plot where two professors fall in love. Maybe they are the heads of two different houses, and are always lowkey bickering?

There are so many fun occupations in the hp universe too? Give me some fun plots with dragon keepers, obliviators, hit wizards, mediwitches, potion makers. Again, anything.

A plot where Ares and Aphrodite walk the Earth and they’re both women and in love (dibs on Ares).

A vampire royalty plot, preferably taking place sometime between 1700 and 1900. The royal family have all been turned into vampires and it’s probably a mess. Lots of drama. Other sub plots could include: Muse A as a vampire, Muse B as a vampire hunter. Or maybe Muse A is the prince/princess from another country and is the one that brings vampirism to Muse B’s court.

A pirates plot where Muse A is a princess runaway, who escapes her life at court to become a pirate on Muse B’s ship. She hides her identity, but Muse B probably catches onto her being a total amateur.

A city witches plot but with gangs. Muse A and B belong to rival witch gangs, and should definitively not be friends. Yet, they feel drawn to each other, and eventually end up hooking up. I think just the idea of witch gangs could be so much fun?

Another city witches plot but loosely based around The Magicians where Muse A and B both practice underground magic. Maybe they get in trouble for it? Or maybe one of them is against the use of underground magic and the other one supports it ( and maybe they are roommates )? ANYTHING.

A plot based in the Harry Potter universe where Muse A and B both work in Hogsmeade. Muse A owns a small bakery, while Muse B works as a bartender / barmaid in one of the pubs. They form a habit of meeting after work and discussing their days and lives, and eventually start falling in love. Little do they know that they are on opposing sides in the war (either first or second).

A plot where Muse A is a news anchor / reporter and Muse B is a police detective. Muse A is always hounding Muse B for the latest story and Muse B is lowkey annoyed ( but Muse A is also really cute, so sometimes Muse B will let something slip ). They kinda always butt heads because of their jobs but deep down they really like each other.

A plot where Muse A and Muse B are actors working on the same tv show, where they play the main and most popular couple. On the screen they have insane chemistry, but behind the scenes, they hate each other and can barely stand being in the same room.

A medieval plot where Muse A is a prince/princess of Country A and Muse B is a prince/princess of Country B. It has been a hard couple of years for both countries, but a union between the families would benefit the economy for them both. Unfortunately, Muse A and B know each other quite well, and can’t stand being in the same room at the same time. But they reluctantly agree to get married anyways, for the greater good.

Another medieval plot where Muse A comes from nothing, but has managed to work their way up the social ranks using only their charm and their looks. Meanwhile, Muse B is the bachelor king/queen who hasn’t settled down yet (rumor has it that they sleep around a lot). Muse A’s plan is to get Muse B to fall in love with them, but Muse B - although enticed by Muse A, is easily distracted. After a while, they become friends, but both want different things from their relationship.

A witch plot where Muse A and Muse B are childhood best friends. Once they reach puberty and pick their paths, Muse A chooses light magic, while Muse B chooses dark magic. They break up due to their differences, but 10-something years later, they both show up for the same job interview and get the same job. Now they have to work together and it’s kinda awkward. Possible subplots could include Muse A being very suspicious of Muse B, Muse B thinking Muse A is way too stuck up / righteous, both becoming a little more grey as they spend more time together.

A ‘The Little Mermaid’ inspired plot where Muse A is a marine biologist who’s studying the coral reefs. Muse B is a mermaid who lives very close to the reefs, and is a little too curious for their own good and often observes Muse A while they are working. One day, Muse A is in trouble and Muse B decides to save Muse A, even though it reveals who and what they are. The rest probably goes along with the original plot of The Little Mermaid?

A Gone Girl inspired plot, based on Nick and Amy’s relationship. Just something really toxic, based on their general backstory.

I want more plots based on the ‘villains before they became the villain’ trope (aka villain origin stories)! Maybe two villains from popular fairytales or Disney movies, before they went evil? We could design our characters and give them a fun backstory that is totally AU? This plot bunny is mostly inspired by Sea Witch and Heartless.

A fairy plot. I’m so in love with fae mythology, the fairy courts, their dynamics and their powers. We could do something loosely based on The Cruel Prince or Wicked Lovely. I’m game for anything!

FCS I CURRENTLY WANT TO PLAY / PLAY AGAINST ( I have no preference when it comes to gender + fc & these are in no particular order !! ) :

Emeraude Toubia • Joe Keery • Zoey Deutch • Jenna Coleman • Melissa Benoist • Lucy Liu • Sarah Shahi • Rosamund Pike • Rachel McAdams • Katie Stevens • Candice Patton • Taron Egerton • Dominic Sherwood • Phoebe Tonkin • Kat McNamara • Natalia Dyer • Melissa Fumero • Matt Daddario • Dave Franco • Diego Luna • Ryan Gosling • Lily James • Virginia Gardner • Gregg Sulkin • Amy Adams • Candice Accola • Avan Jogia • Chris Pine • Chris Evans • Ricky Whittle • Noah Centineo • Amanda Seyfried • Vanessa Morgan • Maddie Petsch • Ryan Destiny.

Hey there!! I finally have the time to write again, so I’m currently looking for new plots + partners. I’ve put a list below the cut of some stuff I’m interested in doing, so if you’d be down with doing any of these with me please either shoot me a DM or like this post and I’ll come to you. I am currently mainly looking for f/f and m/f plots !!

Disclaimer: Some of these are recycled plots I never got the chance to do in the past but I still wanna do !!

A city witches plot where two witches are roommates in New York and they use little spells in their everyday life to make things easier, but they have to hide it from the world. While Muse A is really strict with their magic and makes sure to always be as careful as they can be, Muse B could care less and is very free spirited and risks exposing magic to humans on a daily basis. It creates a lot of tension but they’re best friends (or lovers) so they try to work through it. Inspired by this.

Some modern mythology plots based off literally any of these would be lovely!! I am weak for modern mythology plots in general (some of my absolute favorite pairings are Dionysus x Ariadne, Ares x Aphrodite and Hades x Persephone).

A modern Disney princess / slightly OUAT inspired plot ( or mumu ) where all the Disney princesses live in modern day New York but are still highly influenced by their Disney counterparts.

With that said, Harry Potter plots are my kryptonite and I am always down to do any hp plot !!

A plot where Ares and Aphrodite walk the Earth and they’re both women and in love (dibs on Ares).

[drug/alcohol cw] An f/f plot slightly inspired by Elementary where Muse A is a rich and successful businesswoman that struggles with drug/alcohol abuse. Muse B is hired by Muse A’s company to be her sober companion and basically keep her on track, although her job is soon made difficult by Muse A’s moodiness and high demands. I think this could be a classic “thundercloud x ray of sunshine” sort of thing.

A con artist plot where Muse A and B are roommates and rivals, always trying to upstage the other’s most recent heist. It does not occur to them that they could work together and achieve even greater success, because they’ve always been at each other’s throats.

A fallen angels plot inspired by this. Muse A and Muse B were kicked out of heaven and are now living in the big city, both doing their best to move on ( but never quite knowing how ).

A city witches plot but with gangs. Muse A and B belong to rival witch gangs, and should definitively not be friends. Yet, they feel drawn to each other, and eventually end up hooking up.

A bad girl x bad boy plot !! Or a bad girl x bad girl plot.

A gold digger / age gap plot where Muse A is this young and bright-eyed college student who marries Muse B for their money. Muse B is older, experienced and can kinda guess what Muse A is after, but marries Muse A anyways because they’ve been looking for love for years and never finding it so what the hell, right? People will finally stop asking questions at the very least. A few months into their marriage, Muse A starts falling for Muse B but Muse B is kinda hesitant because they have been hurt before.

A similar plot where Muse A needs to marry someone to stay in the country, and Muse B agrees, despite barely knowing Muse A. In order to pass all the inspections and to stop the authorities from exposing their marriage as a fraud, they are forced to move in together and pretend to be happily married.

Another marriage plot where Muse A and B are acquaintances that go to Vegas together, and end up getting wasted and accidentally married. Both are dirt poor and can’t afford an annulment or a divorce, so they stay married.

A plot where Muse A and B broke up months ago, but they are both pretty poor and can’t afford a new apartment right now, so they continue living together. They also haven’t told their parents and friends that they broke up, so they have to pretend to still be together a lot.

A medieval plot where Muse A is a prince/princess of Country A and Muse B is a prince/princess of Country B. It has been a hard couple of years for both countries, but a union between the families would benefit the economy for them both. Thus, although Muse A and Muse B have never actually met before, they agree to get married.

A Gilded Ashes inspired plot where Muse A is the crown prince/princess of the land, and Muse B is a disgraced heiress. Muse A does not believe in love since they found out that the supposed love of their life was only using them for their title. Muse B does not believe in love either, because they are haunted by demons who threaten to punish anyone that hurts Muse B. On the night that Muse A is supposed to choose their husband/wife on their father’s orders, they run into Muse B and feel an instant connection. Still, neither Muse A or B believe in love... But they continue to see each other.

A witch plot where Muse A and Muse B are childhood best friends. Once they reach puberty and pick their paths, Muse A chooses light magic, while Muse B chooses dark magic. They drift apart due to their differences, but 10-something years later, they both show up for the same job interview and get the same job.

FCs I currently want to play / play against ( in no particular order & I’ll play both males and females ):

Joe Keery • Katheryn Winnick • Jenna Coleman • Alberto Rosende • Gal Gadot • Melissa Fumero • Candice Patton • Melissa Benoist • Matt Daddario • Lily Collins • Rosamund Pike • Charlie Hunman • John Boyega • Amanda Seyfried • Leighton Meester • Phoebe Tonkin • Katie Stevens • John Krasiniski • Alycia Debnam Carey • Emeraude Toubia • Taron Egerton • Kat McNamara • Virginia Gardner • Lily James • Lucy Liu • Keiynan Lonsdale • Gregg Sulkin • Deborah Ann Woll • Margot Robbie • Madchen Amick • Amy Adams • Sarah Shahi • Daniel Radcliffe • Franz Drameh • Sophie Turner • Dominic Sherwood • Troian Bellisario • Dave Franco • Diego Luna • Rachel McAdams • Tessa Thompson • Jeffrey Dean Morgan • Ryan Gosling • Cody Christian • Natalia Dyer • Violett Beane.

Whoops this is more than a few but 8,9 and idk if you write but 21, 28, 40, 46, 47, and 51 not all of those are about writing but i forgot which ones

8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?

I actually found the fandom before I found the show. And I saw how trans friendly they were and began watching the show and fell in love. (Steven Universe)

9. What are the best things about your current fandom?

GAAAAAAAAAAAY. Also, there’s also something new that we’ve come up, or someone has written, or drawn, or made in another way. And we’ve been around so long that it’s nearly impossible to get through all of the works.

21. What is the first fanfic you ever wrote?

I don’t remember which it’s called, but either Kagome’s True Love of Heart, or Kagome’s Truth of Heart. It’s still up, but I don’t have all the chapters typed that are written, and it’s been years so…. I’m letting it be. (It has been 7-8 years since I updated it. Oops). It’s about Sesshoumaru helping Kagome after she was assaulted, and them falling in love.

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fan art for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?

I actually was sent a piece of fan art from my fic The Learning Curve. It was an image of Castiel hanging before he was found and rescued. But if it was my choice, it’d be Gabriel (from Supernatural) with his arm stuck in a vending machine. That’s from Gabriel is a Moron.

Both fics can be found on ao3. My pseudonym is amahami. But be warned that The Learning Curve’s sequel, New Beginnings, is not properly finished, and likely never will be.

40. What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

Staying on track. I tend to get off topic really easily, and I’ve had it completely change the storyline multiple times. Which is all fine and good, except it isn’t what I wanted to write.

46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you rec to them and why?

So I’m looking through my works, and a lot of these are really fun reads that I’m proud of. And one of them that I’m super proud of is super dark. So it would depend on what they’re looking for.

Dark HP: Like A Nox. It’s about Queenie being able to read minds. It includes a graphic suicide.

Light HP with no ship: Snorting Sardines. It’s cute and is about the Marauders standing up for their own.

Light HP - wolfstar: Force of Nature. It’s a cute wolfstar get together, including cute flirting.

Light spn: Gabriel is a Moron.

Funny spn: Cancelled. It’s a destiel get together, starting with Dean being late to class.

Cute spn: First Meeting. Dean and Castiel’s daughter ask how they first met. So they tell her as a bedtime story.

Autistic!Castiel: Cas and the Bee Bag. It has a lot of good facts about bees, and Cas is so autistic it’s amazing

I'm really proud of my fics okay? XD

47. Where do you prefer to post and why?

AO3 because I get the most views there. I do promote them here, too, though.

51. Rant/gush about one thing you hate/love about the world of fanfiction. Go!

I love how fan fiction lets us explore who we are without being judged, and we can do it in any way we want! And it inspires many of us to continue learning, because you can't write good well about something you don't know a lot about. It's so fun and it's such a good outlet, and I just! Love it so much!

If you want to read any of my fics, here's a link to my works:

Steven Universe S4E18-Tiger Philanthropist

this one was a bit all over the place for me. Not necessarily a criticism, just a. Its complicated.

We’ll start with Message instead of plot

Message

There were sorta two issues I felt were dealt with here.

The first was the culmination of Steven and Amethyst’s insecurities up until now. I’ll save that for characters

The second....was hard for me to pin down, but I think it has to do with artists and fan interactions. Theres the conundrum of when something is no longer fun or necessary for an artist to do for themselves, so wrapping it up to end, as many shows have ended, or books or....whatever. Lets use Harry Potter as an example for this one (many other examples are possible). After it ended people were upset and wanted more (though they at least had warning it was going to end.) It did cause a sort of surge of fans wanting more, wanting to know about Harry’s kids, wanting to know about the Marauders, just....more.

And so here comes JKR back at it again (or in the episode, tiger philanthropist) with updates about the world, pottermore, the Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them (I know that was mostly studios pushing, but hold onto the metaphor for a second) and what did the fans say to all this? Meh. not as good. Somethings off. That’s Lars in this metaphor.

So we see with Steven the frustration of ‘what is it all for? Should I keep doing this to please fans? Should I step down because the thing that made it worth it is gone? Will letting it go be disrespecting what was good about it in the first place? Was it even worth it?

I can feel this a lot with my fanfictions, like, am I writing this for myself? reviews? Is it worth it? was it ever worth it?

In the end, though Amethyst and Steven realize that the important thing about wrestlemania was their memories and being together, so they decide to leave together. And Lars, (the fans) suffer, but we know he’ll be okay.

Characters

So, Amethyst probably should have let Steven know she was leaving so they could have decided what to do together. Not that she should have kept it up if she didn’t wanna, just, maybe fill Steven in a bit. I’m glad, however, that she doesn’t feel the need to feel strong anymore, cause she already is.

Steven suffers from trying to please everyone always. and damn is that boy strong.

Lars suffers. Ha.

Sadie also sufferspoor sadie

Other

The creators have way too much fun coming up with wrestlers.

New Fanfic Trope: Self-Insert Voyeurism

Something I’ve noticed in my embarrassingly thorough years of fanfic reading is a phenomena wherein a fic’s POV character is an ordinary person who narrates their observations about one of the main characters. I’ve no idea if its a pre-existing TV Trope but this is what I’m calling it. The crucial aspect here is the limited point of view that the fic is written in which to emphasises the mystery or awe inspiring characteristics that distinguish the fit’s subject: usually a character w magical, superhuman, hyper intellectual sci-fi abilities/knowledge, likely a very/celebrity w/i their community.

To clarify here are some examples (most of these are real fics ive read):

Harry Potter: HP is by far the biggest culprit of this, by virtue of the secrecy of wizarding from humans (muggles), we already have the set-up for such dramatic irony.

Strangers at Drakeshaugh by Northumbrian Ginny and Harry move to a small town, their new neighbour, Jackie, is intrigued by their strange behaviour.

Reading the Books-type fics where Gen2 find an actual copy of the Harry Potter books and discuss their confusion/inner-conflict over some of the details (most of these got reported for quoting the books too much)

one of the Dursley’s neighbours notice Harry attending Vernon’s funeral

Petunia, uninvited, attends Harry’s wedding

a lot of Dudley POV fics

most fics involving Arabella Fig

Harry’s POV on the marauders; James/Lily/Snape ship(s)

something mundane through Luna’s POV

a ship through the POV of sentient furniture

ATLA:

A young maid’s daughter witnesses Mai and Zuko kissing and thinks they’re eating each other.

Anything about the Gaang in the Cabbage Merchant’s POV

Anything about the Gaang in Korra’s POV

Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets the Gaang (two-sided voyeurism; it gets a little crazy w crossovers)

Steven Universe:

A classmate of Connie’s notices how she goes from shy to outgoing in a matter of years and is suddenly surprised to see her carrying around a giant sword

Rick and Morty

One of the Smith’s neighbours starts complaining about the weird shit that happens around them. (ok this isn't a real fic but it has potential)

Grey’s Anatomy: I’ve always maintained that Grey’s itself is like one long fanfic, such is the case w most melodramas

A patient witnesses one of the doctor’s struggles in their personal lives and gives them some advice

Regular themes throughout these kinds of stories are the POV character’s jealousy, envy, curiosity, fear, derision etc towards the subject character. Sometimes ironically unfounded. Though sometimes it’s a smut-fic through the POV of someone who doesn't understand sex or the subject’s ex-lover (Erica Moen would be all over this), I don't mean ‘voyeurism’ in strict sexual terms. Typically it’s about one character whose curiosity leads them into invading another’s space.

This trope is all about dramatic irony, the narrator knows very little/or has some major secret hidden from them about the subject (which is why such a common example is children) but the reader, conversely, has a very intimate knowledge abt the subject. It’s not necessarily a bad trope. It can even reflect certain unexplored depths to the original canon through a fresh perspective but it’s certainly an indulgent one that maintains an interesting story without necessitating an actual plot/conflict.

What’s interesting is that both the POV character and the subject are the author/reader’s self-inserts. The POV char serves as the audience insert in the sense that we learn through them and they mimic almost exactly the way in which we originally learnt about the subject character in canon. Simultaneously the subject character also serves as everybody’s self insert because the subject (as the main character in an original canon narrative who was specifically designed to be both relatable and in some way unattainably interesting) as seen from the outside seems perfect, it’s who we want to be.

In a lot of fics it’s about strangers witnessing the character growth we wish we could undergo. It’s a sort of fantasy where you’re spying on your ideal self through someone else’s point of view. This could easily be trivialised under the whole Mary Sue umbrella, but conversely this is one of the important ways that narrative can reflect our own inner psyches as individuals and humans.
