#the possibilities were endless

so this one time years ago, i was in a huge amanda tapping and mary mcdonnell phase (i was watching "major crimes" at the time) and i decided to write fanfic (if you can call it that) featuring original characters based on AT and MM. like a made up tv show. i wrote one chapter and then never wrote anymore, but the sequel lived in my head for years. oh yeah, they were a lesbian couple. i had intended on making it a steamy fic, but damn. i have commitment issues.

i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?

so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up

(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)

also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different

edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon

interesting how in the FA "beyond lay the wilderness of Dungortheb, where the sorcery of Sauron and the power of Melian came together, and horror and madness walked", then in the TA the Fangorn-Lorien-Mirkwood triangle of Weird Sorcery Forests exists between the domains of saruman, galadriel, necromancer-sauron, and radagast

Torture / Interrogation ideas for a more formal (ish) setting? Thinking like fantasy military captive setting, no past connection between whumpee and whumper, mostly job focused

captivity settings my beloved <3

The Backdrop:

- whumpee is a high ranking officer, and Whumper wants to use them in propaganda. The well being of the soldiers they were captured with hangs in the balance.

- following that, whumpee is a foot soldier who has the misfortune of being used as leverage. Maybe their commanding officer is just too stubborn, letting them suffer "for the greater good".

- whumpee is a deep cover spy who's been betrayed by a double agent. Whumper wants to make an example of them to deter any future espionage.

- whumpee is a civilian, but the whumper is dead certain they're lying when they say they don't know anything, and keeps trying to force information out of them.

- whumpee does know something, and it's very specific and tangible: Whumper wants them to recreate a weapon, input codes, feed misinformation to their own side while whumper watches... Anything that can quickly be seen through if they try to sabotage it or lie.

- whumper is convinced that "torture always works" and is resolved to keep putting the pressure on a captured soldier whumpee. One of these days, they're going to crack, right?

The Methods:

- every day the whumpee refuses to do something, whumper will cut off a piece of them

- whumper has psychic or magical technology on hand that will prevent whumpee from lying; all they need to do is force them to break their silence

- whumper has psychic or magical technology that can read whumpee's mind, but it's incredibly painful and invasive

- whumper is able to resuscitate the dead. They kill whumpee horribly, over and over again, trying to disorient them and weaken their resolve

- whumpee has to make propaganda appearances while captive, so whumper can't leave any marks. They instead use drugging, asphyxiation, and confined spaces to torment them

- whumper invades whumpee's personal space; touching them, calling them pet names, mocking any tears or reactions

- whumper has healing magic or technology, which they use to cover up any traces of what they've done after brutalizing whumpee. Their bosses don't exactly approve of their methods

Thinking about lawlight movie night crack fic. When they haven't had leads for days, the team makes them watch a movie for "stress relief" (maybe they'll stop fighting for a couple hours). They took away their laptops and phones so they have no choice. Both of them hate the movie but they had to choose from Matsuda's collection because he's the only one who leaves headquarters. Anyway they constantly talk over the TV, judging the poor story quality and plot holes and generally being haters. Light tries to limit L's snack consumption by keeping everything on "his" side of the couch but L just reaches all the way over him bc he doesn't give a shit about Light's personal space. And L constantly changes the position he's in, sometimes hanging his head upside down off the couch, sometimes putting his cold feet up against Light, etc. Needless to say this bugs the hell out of Light. They start getting into arguments about trivial details in the movie, and at one point they decide to bet on how the movie ends, with the loser having to get naked (duh). Both of them are confident that they'll win (L is cheating bc he's seen this movie before) but Light's predictions are off by a hair. L obviously takes this and runs with it, insisting that Light technically lost the bet and it wouldn't be fair if he didn't get undressed now—

something so incredibly domestic to me about billy and steve just going on a walk together

steve turning up at the hargrove’s during winter break while neil and susan are at work and max is at the arcade. steve knows billy is at home because they talk now. they’re friends. sort of. so steve knocks on the door. rings the bell twice. tells billy to c’mon because he wants to go for a walk.

and billy’s just staring at steve like he’s lost his mind. ‘cause billy plays basketball, sure. billy lifts weights. billy swims. billy surfs. or did at least did. billy does, like, everything but billy doesn’t do wintery walks.

tells steve exactly that.

steve doesn’t take no for an answer, though. billy tells him he doesn’t have a winter coat and steve holds up the extra one he’s got in this big bag beside him and- billy doesn’t know how he didn’t notice it before. totally wasn’t too distracted by the way steve’s talking, face lit up and cheeks flushed from the cold.

billy comes up with a few more excuses but steve’s stubborn. billy knows from experience so he gives in. lets steve wrap him up in this huge coat, bitching and swearing the entire time. tells steve he’s gonna freeze his balls off and it’s gonna be all steve’s fault.

they leave eventually, though. steve grinning at billy the entire time, stupid dopey look on his face and billy trying to look at the trees instead. at the leaves. at literally everything except steve.

but steve’s looking at him. keeps sneaking glances because he’s got billy hargrove beside him, nose pink and eyes wide as he looks up at a flock of birds that just scattered. because billy’s got a hat on, pulled down to his eyebrows and a scarf that he’s pretty much buried the lower half of his face in.

because billy’s, like, cute. or whatever.

so they walk. and they talk. leaves crunching and birds chirping. sun flitting in through the trees. maybe billy lights steve’s cigarette, maybe they carve their names somewhere, maybe they kiss about it .. who knows !

I feel like we are all sleeping on the fan fiction potential given to us from Deadpool and Wolverine using their bodies to make a circuit with matter and anti-matter

Who knows what that could do to a person, you could write a fic where that caused anything your heart could think up.

i need to learn how to be self sustaining or whatever the way technology is advancing. not even in a paranoid anti civ kinda way just the fact that all these advances are being made by fucking silicon valley tech bros who want every single item in your home to have an internet connection and a subscription service and they want ai to control everything so they don't have to do all the hard work and combatting the loneliness pandemic by giving everyone an ai girlfriend and wearing stupid fucking goggles on your face so you can always constantly be connected online and the near constant bombardment of advertisements everywhere fucking everywhere i hate this shit so much i hate smart devices i hate ai i hate the future I WANT OUT OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry my head is bursting w thoughts i am so obsessed w the ending bit of season three's tabula rasa and how aaron and spencer have a long drive back home.

and i know nothing about american geography so i have no idea how far they are from quantico but im OBSESSED with the idea of roadtrip aaron and spencer. like are they listening to music? or the radio? or an audio book? and who plays what? do they chat the whole way or does spencer finally have an uninterrupted amount of time to ramble to aaron and aarons always loved listening so he lets him talk? what food do they stop and get? do they swap drivers if one of them is sleepy? like the possibilities are endless and i now wanna write a fic about it but i can't figure out what they'd do on their roadtrip home.

Jerseys?? Signed volleyballs?? Hinata plushies?? Sendai Frogs better watch out bc I am COMING for that tsukki merch. I would genuinely be so feral for them it's actually insane
