HOLD UP I GOT THINGS TO SAY-

plot twist: stan is an assassin/mafia boss who's target is killing darwin when really it's wendy pulling all the strings for personal reasons (idk what reasons, but they'd be valid) and he's forced to kill her to save the world. tragic ending, Stan saves the world but Wendy dies by his hand. OR

cartman (mafia boss leader) kills wendy to save the universe when stan finds out she was just a pawn in darwin's master plan and watches her die (could darwin and gregory have some sort of illegal drug chain or something?? with damien??? PIP???)

randy could also be involved due to his biochemistry knowledge (making mutations/mods to the drug and helping the boys sell it on the black market) PLUS HE FUCKING OWNS A weed farm and that becomes darwin's motive to marry wendy to get intel from stan as he and the rest of the core 5 (kyle, cartman, kenny and butters) are trying to bring down this empire of cross-state drug selling hubs before someone? maybe the president is killed by the drug. idk. someone of value.

little does stan know that his father is one of the main sellers and the one person he wasn't planning to be on his hitlist. he just had to get to the boss. darwin. that also fucks up stan bc not only does he find out that wendy was used as a decoy and a placeholder while darwin injects something into the president and cartman kills her without knowledge of her loyalty, but his dad nearly kills him to save his boss's business.

before all this, stan and wendy rekindle their relationship and she helps him get a slice of life back but they grow distant as he's trying to kill her husband but she has no god damn clue so she assumes it's bc he still can't take her seriously and they stop being friends...wendy gets a tad (extremely) pissed at stan and wants to ruin his life which darwin is like: okay perfect I'll turn his ex-gf on him and have her kill him, no blood on his hands, she goes to jail and darwin is victimized, leaving him with his chain still going with no trace. wendy just wanted some simple petty ass revenge like slashing his car tires but she gets wrapped into all of this and--

i'm so lost and overtired rn but i had to comment on this bc WOW the possibilities the ask was immaculate

it's late but i hope this h/c added a little. s p i c e if u will.

good night.

I kinda come up with an idea that Wendy's husband Darwin is actually a spy from an enemy country if I ever write a fic. He married her just to get intel from what she is working on or planning an attack. And obviously Stan has to stop him before he can harm her and his country. What do you think of this h/c?

I would absolutely love that. DUDE THATS ACTUALLY GOOD, WAAAAAAAAHHHHH

whats your take on marcille and pattadols post canon friendship? they seem to hang out occasionally in a couple of post canon shorts and i was wondering if your beautiful mind has anything more to add? youre amazing 💖

☺️ aha thank you so much!!! Pattadol and Marcille are sooo interesting to me because like. I think Pattadol is who Marcille would have become if her parents had both been long-lived, and she never had a reason to question elven authority. The hardworking attitude, insistence on sticking to a very rigid set of principles, a little bit of vanity in wanting to be recognized for her efforts... the slightly ridiculous uptightness and neurotic attitude at times, though at heart they're both kind people who want the best for everyone in their own ways.

In the post-canon, I'm assuming that Pattadol has her own ambassador's quarters in either the castle or the inner city, and the two of them grab tea at the castle drawing room/garden/whatever. I think they talk shop, soundboard ideas off each other, and gossip/complain a little about incompetent colleagues/problems... I think they're each others' dream work friends, honestly. Polite, competent, friendly but never getting overly personal, fun and pleasant to talk to. The fact that Pattadol's 82 and a fairly young woman by elven standards also plays into it, I think -- Marcille hasn't had another elf friend along the same maturity range and professional level of experience, so this is probably nice for her!

What I would like to see is them eventually developing a closer relationship. I think a lot about the way Pattadol reassured Marcille that, because of her accomplishments, she'd have a pretty comfortable sentence as a Canary. About the way, while there was tension because of what was happening at the time, they were both immediately very polite to each other upon meeting and kind of?? got along/clicked immediately in some ways?? It feels like they have the same kind of standards for themselves and others (as well as general inexperience and slight insecurity about their own competency, which probably makes them feel at more or less an equal level with each other).

And I think that'd be good for both of them -- having someone else that they admire, who also admires them in return and recognizes their talents and hard work. There's a very unique kind of rapport you build with someone that you hold as an intellectual peer and can trust to give you feedback that's actually reliable and up to par. While they might both be too professional to really become super close friends who can always be open with each other, there's a very real and deep kind of companionship that forms from this kind of trust, and I hope that's the direction they're heading in.

It's also extra delicious if you add in the tension of Pattadol inherently being a foreign agent from a country that isn't necessarily friendly, but they end up with that strange trust anyway... not to mention the thought that she might find herself actually admiring how Melini is growing and trying to defend it when reporting back to the queen.

>The "enemies" in question are just rivals who sass each other

[rotisseries]

everyone debates about elmike like oh they're the best of friends no they would never hang out on their own they don't even know each other, when the true answer, much like everything else about them, is that there is so so much and also nothing at all

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Considering the amount of extreme devotion and codependency to the point of disregarding clear red flags like "holy shit there's fuckin bodies in your lab" I'm slowly realizing that what Victor and Henry had going probably wouldn't have ended any other way than the death of one or both of them, eventually, Creature or not

[windrunner]

i wish people weren't so... annoying about fiction. like i'm never calling myself any of those "baby's first media literacy discourse" terms from twitter but i do need people to know that i loveeeee fucked up horror. my middle name is literally from a horrific tragedy/thriller play

[aethes-bookshelf]

my tav's dynamic with astarion would get more and more similar to gomez and morticia as the years went by.

except my tav would be gomez.

[dailyeca]

the funniest thing about both of them being in love with him is that there's no one in that fuckin warehouse to go "REALLY? OF ALL PEOPLE?? HIM???"

(aka happy apparently eca #600, i have been doing this for so long lmao)

[hella1975]

I'm not done yet but hey are you giving zuko eldest daughter trauma because I'll fucking kill you I read ONE line it's probably the first of what's to come but I'm sending the hate ask now xoxo

ofc i wouldn't do that! he's just fistfighting a saviour complex and is eternally burdened by the responsibility of raising and caring for his sister while simultaneously being a child himself and always putting himself before the worst of the war so that azula doesn't have to all the while growing more and more rage towards the situation until it all comes out in a very cataclysmic scene that i will definitely cry at when writing :)

And for bad oversharing medical news the arrhythmia from december never went away but I thought maybe the throat infection was still there right so that could be a reason but then I went to a specialist and not only is it practically cured (just lingering a bit) but my lungs sound fine as well! which means! the shortness of breath is probably something wrong with the oxygen in the bloodstream and the slight chest tightness is also extremely worrying I could only make an appointment to get it checked next friday and that sounds like way too long

[57sfinest]

I know this must be a weird ask, you don't have to respond if you want but how would a poly relationship work with Jean and Harry? Like in general, not really specifics about who is with them or anything just like how a dynamic would work when they are still in the very codependent relationship but then they both fall for the same person. Am I the only one who sees the similarities to Rene and Gaston(?), Like that's how their relationship will end up.

NOT A WEIRD ASK I LOVE WHAT-IFS

since you're specifying the codependency i'm assuming we're talking a pre-martinaise j/h so that's how i'll be answering. i can definitely see where you're coming from about rene and gaston with the whole "constantly bickering rivals who both repressed the fact that they loved the other" thing but i feel like describing j/h as "in love" (the way rene & gaston were described) is a little too generous for a relationship that is based first and foremost off necessity and convenience. however the end of the rene & gaston situation definitely feels like how j/h could have ended if they both lived to that age without killing themselves or each other.

anyway like... i can't see them being able to rope a 3rd person into their bullshit. not without heavy coercion or substance abuse or some complicating 3rd factor because they genuinely are so toxic and fucked up that idk who could possibly want to be in the middle of that. BUT if it did happen, you have to keep in mind that harry is in control in the j/h dynamic. jean can bitch and moan all he wants but at the end of the day, what harry says goes-- he's got tangible authority at work + he's a decade older than jean + that's just the way their personalities collide. so it doesn't actually matter if jean likes this hypothetical 3rd person: if harry wants them involved he's gonna get them involved. and i can't see jean as wanting anyone else involved, so it would almost definitely be harry forcing it with someone he likes and jean doesn't care for.

harry takes up all the oxygen in any given room so it's going to be jean + Hypothetical Third supplicating to harry, essentially, and jean is going to make it known that he is NOT happy about sharing, but he's gonna put up with it anyway because harry threatens to leave him if he doesn't (harry wouldn't actually leave jean, they're too deeply enmeshed, there's too much between them. but he has no problem threatening to.) and neither jean nor harry will ever say they're in a relationship because that would be GAY, but they sure act like it, because if one of them ever gets attention from anyone else, the other one will immediately get jealous and defensive and possibly try to drive that 3rd away. even if they managed to get a 3rd involved who they did both like, i still think they'd be like 80% about each other and maybe a generous 20% towards that 3rd, so the 3rd would have to tolerate that. i guess also calling back to rene & gaston yeah i could definitely see them trying to take the Hypothetical Third for their own, but they'd be doing that to make the other jealous, not because they actually wanted the Third. anything that happens with that Third will always have some element of "is he looking? what is he thinking? what is he feeling?" like in the end it will always come down to the two of them and no one else.

[willosword]

the tonal whiplash of the first few eps of ofmd s2 is INSANE like how am i supposed to focus on any other subplot when ed and izzy are over here killing themselves in front of each other to change the directory of their lives forever?????????

[thebleedingeffect]

You see the issue with having several different interests is that I want to stuff them into some kinda uncomprehensible crossover that will serve to only make me happy. Now, how do I make totk and an assassin's creed crossover a thing

[lovinggreeniehours]

you know what i severely underestimated how actually fucked up renachrome is in arc 1. of course them being friends is a good thing but actually oh my god. what the fuck is wrong with them

Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.

Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.

Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.

The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.

We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia

And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.

oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.

Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.
