#this doesnt go for aus and such where hero is supposed to be different

im sorry but if you're trying to write the voice of the hero and you have him actively against your decisions then im sorry but that is not hero
i understand that a lot of aus have him changed a little bit but. in canon, he does not argue with you. he argues for you. he does not get upset when you kill the princess. he matches your energy. he is always on your side. even after he thinks you've been mean to him.
just a . peeve of mine. you know. as the supreme hero lover of all time. and writing him as a lady. hero leans on the side of pacifism, just like any person would; but he is not on the princess' side. he is on your side. having him disagree with your actions just. isn't hero
#does this even make sense#ive been seeing it multiple times and it's gotten frustrating#this doesnt go for aus and such where hero is supposed to be different#ie. stplay and such. i get that#but if youre adding a route and hero disagrees with you. it just makes it hard to read yknow

I AM GONNA TALK ABOUT MY BRAZILIANS ISEKAI AU
All the brazilians are murdered, and they are isekai'd!
Cellbit: follows the "you get isekai'd and go to a fantasy world as yourself trope"! He wakes up in the fae kingdom, some chaotic faes put him in jail as a prank, and he is saved by the "chef" of the royal castle, Roier. Roier definitely isnt the fae price pretending to be the chef. Roier really wants to run away from the kingdom, especially as the whole kingdom is under lock down! No faes can get in and no faes can get out! It sucks.Roier also wishes he could see his son again, as he thinks Jaiden found him after Bobby was kidnapped.
When they do run away they make a living of travelling the whole world, selling food and searching for Bobby and Jaiden, it's nice.
Bagi: following the "reborn as a random npc that was supposed to die" trope, she wakes up drowning in a river and discovers she is a noblewoman from the demon kingdom. She pretends her almost death made her lose her memories, and for that she is forced to work in the demon king castle, who says they will help her to get her memories back (lying). She ends up meeting Iron Mouse, who tell her she is the actual Queen of the Demons, but her crown was stolen! Bagi and Mouse start ploting so Mouse can become queen again.
Later, they get help from Tina, a woman who also works in the castle, making tea, but she really wants to be a fashion designer! But the clothes the workers use wear so fucking ugly and she will kill the Demon King with her own hands for forcing her to wear that.
Pac: vaguely following the "Villain Are Destined to Die" plot idea. He is reborn as the villain of the story, wakes up in the pirate kingdom and is saved by a janitor called Fit. When he wakes up, he can't talk: a bunch of options appear on his vision, each saying a different thing for him to do/talk and he must select one of them so he can do something. Later, he discovers he can disable it, and that he and Mike are linked now, and they both banter while Mike tries to find him.
He also sees a heart above everyone's head, showing a percentage, he believes it's how much they like him, this surely wont bring any problems!
Mike: following the "reborn as an animal trope"! He wakes up as a magma cube (and also meets Slime here, they are brothers: were made by the same lab), and can hear Pac's thoughts, they discover they can talk to each other with their minds, and Mike goes through a journey so he can find him. He accidentally meets the Godness of Creation and becames a half human - half magma cube!
Forever: follows the "reborn the Hero of the story" trope! He wakes up and is forced to go to the Island Where Dragons Live, because, apparently, "a dragon is the one bringing all the problems of this world, and the hero must slay it". But. Forever doesnt want to kill a dragon what the fuck.
While trying to find a way out of the island, he finds an dragon egg, who hatches while he was holding it, he names the dragon baby Richarlyson, and he is a father now! But the dragons know he is the hero who is supposed to kill them, now he needs to figure out how dragons work so he can raise his child, find a way out and try to not get killed, fun!
Felps: Following the "Preferential Treatment for The Possessed Person" plot line, he wakes up, he can talk to the god who created this world and the voices who are watching it (you guys :D), he has whole skill thing he can upgrade with money! He can read the story! He can get very op items! But he is mostly making a square, and having fun, the world is supposed to end soon he knows that but, where is the fun in being overpowered :( He also acidentally creates a religion out of himself, oops!
Bonus:
Jaiden:
Following the "reborn as a bird plotline"! If i had a nickel for everytime i read a reincarnation story where the mc is reborn as a bird i would've 4 nickels, what isnt a lot but its curious it happened 4 times. Anyways, she first woke up in the fae kingdom, she and Roier adopt a dragon kid! They name him Bobby, until he was kidnapped one day, she went after him, and the lockdown happened so Roier couldnt leave. She is working with the federation, who says they will help to her to find Bobby!
The last time Roier heard of Jaiden was when he got a letter from her saying he didnt need to search for them because she found Bobby. But she never wrote this letter. Weird! right?

okay bc @desertgourd asked
the thing that gets me about jay is that shes just.
okay so like. i kinda stopped writing her bc she basically got over her abandonment and mental health issues, she got better, right? and healing is cool but as an end point its a bit boring.
except that recently, i was writing her and its like. she didnt, actually. like as much as shes doesnt talk about it, and pretends like shes fine, shes not. and then she just didnt figure out how to grow up.
which in her hero au is like half the issue. she grows up as a sidekick and thats like. it. she knows how to take orders (badly) and how to fight, but then thats all she knows. after she ages out of the program or w/e, then its like. what is she supposed to do with her life? the people who she thought were something like family are also fucked up and distant, and maybe dead. (and the same vibes are there in her main too)
and then she goes out and starts living a normal adult life, but she cant hold a job because she gets bored and gets into fights with her managers, and doesnt really know what the deal is with social cues and being friendly (her whole personality is a very carefully constructed facade of bravado and and cockiness thats NORMALLY (to her) pretty well founded but then in real life, its just annoying)
and like. yk. she used to fight people for a living, and its really really hard not to do that at her job or just casually. and then i think too, theres sort of a feeling of isolation with the whole thing bc she cant talk to anyone about her past or about any of her issues, and then theres like. a masculine sense of distance (you dont talk about your mental health issues or struggles as a guy and shes a guy)
so she doesnt make any friends and doesnt talk about her past bc then if she does then everyone looks at her weird when she reminisces about the good old times that she had as a kid when you nearly got shot by a supervillain. and no you Definitely dont have unresolved trauma about it!
so her life is just a bunch of dead ends one after another bc she doesnt really know how to get past herself and do really (seemingly) basic things, how to control her temper and strength, and the only time that she really feels alive is when shes fighting, but those actual opportunities are few and far between, and then the nature of combat means that you are getting hurt even in practice (the wrestling scene rn is a bit fucked bc all the champions had injuries) so theres only so long that she can actually keep doing it before her body collapses out from under her
its just a lot of nothing that she doesnt really know what to do with. she peaked at 12 and now shes 22 and getting older and its just. gestures vaguely. what now?
and then. bc i like thinking about it. theres sort of a parallel with red? bc for him, hes also stuck in a loop of murder, sick, try to live with yourself that i think in this au jay would be familiar with. but i think where they kinda differ is that red as a monster is sorta just resigned to being a monster bc jay would just think that. yk. killing someone with excessive force for resisting. is normal
anyway with the two of them, its kinda fun bc its like they dont know how to be live, but jay actually has more a sense of morality than red would have (hes had to justify the death and has gotten used to following his instincts, no matter how bloody they might be) and would yell at him for it, but red has more of a gauge for normalcy and would point out that something was fucked up with jays childhood
also theres something interesting about red and how he keeps repeating patterns of behavior that he cant figure out how to break. jays the same way but in a wider sense thats like. idk theres a sense of hopelessness with her life that mimics what reds going through
theyre also kinda fun bc reds pretty quiet and hostile where jays loud and friendly, and jays impulsivity drags red out of his shell to actually do things. idk its a fun dynamic that im kinda into
maybe its just me but i think theres something interesting about former child superhero!jay as an adult whos like. yeah the only things i really know how to do are really violent and horrible things, and im an adult now who never actually learned how to do anything else, so idk how to live.
and then its like.
idk that paired with red whos essentially the same, but currently going through it, and its sorta. idk. ive learned how to live with it and actively enjoy doing harm, but still have to live like a normal person despite the fact that were fundamentally different
theres a fun sort of dynamic between the two of them bc of that, like some sort of weird mentor/mentee potential. and they work together bc they both have the same sort of Stuck Where I Am vibe and it hink personality wise theyre really different and hit on a dynamic i like lmao

i have like the bare bones of an hhr au in my google docs where hermione left to go live in the muggle world after redoing her final year in hogwarts, just so she can pass hee GCSEs and applied to a muggle university. The prejudice of the wizarding world was something she didn’t think she could live with, despite being part of the biggest heroes of the wizarding world, and saved it so she can change how they view muggleborns. She didn’t think a society stuck in the past would be able to change that fast.
So she left. And this will probably he current times because I like the convenience of modern day technology so sue me. She goes to look for her parents, which was easy enough because well, phones and the internet are great tools. She probably didn’t even have to obliviate them because again, at least according to my story lol.
Anyway, she probably goes to Cambridge or Oxford, to study law. After graduating law school, she’ll probably focus labor rights, after her dedication to SPEW. She basically cut contact with anyone in the Wizarding World.
Except for Harry. But even then, it was short owl letters, and only as a reply for when Harry sends her a letter. It wasn’t a surprise when they kind of slowly grew apart. The letters doesn’t stop, but it did lessen to just sending them on some holidays and birthdays.
But that’s the important part. There’s supposed to be a 10 year anniversry lunch or whatever happening and whoever the clusterfuck that’s running the ministry of magic wants to have all the trio to be there (Harry would rather not attend, but he kinda lowkey got pressured to accept) but no one knows how to contact hermione (shes a genius, so she probably figured out a way to go under the ministry’s radar lol), until everyone begged harry to contact her.
So he did, begrudgingly. Wrote to her about how she’s not pressured to come and that he’ll understand if he says no, but then a letter comes back to Harry saying that Hermione will go.
Anyway, its just me wanting everyone to go :0c when they see Hermione transformed and glowing and happy and just different than the Hermione they knew. And Harry and Hermione rediscovering themselves not just as friends, and maybe lovers as well.
There’s like a Dramione subplot in there where idk maybe Draco admits that he did like hermione and because of his upbringing and fear, he tried not to like her and instead bullied her, so he’ll apologize and not ask for forgiveness because he knows he doesnt deserve it. But hermione is kind so she accepts the apology. Idk if she’ll forgive him tho.
Anyway, its still will be harmony at the end, i just like a little spice lol.
#harmony#hhr#harry and hermione#harry x hermione#sunnie aus#idk if im making sense lol#i will also project my love for bts in hermione

Revising my bnha /ninjago crossover au that im now gonna name the 'Mistakes made Au'
i cant remember who it was but someone has the hc where basically the reason the FSM and his descendants have such bad luck is because the cloud kingdom is mad and a bit scared that FSM's family seem to be 'destiny defiers' at times, so they constantly make bad things happen to them.
So yeah im yoinking that for this au except with my own twist of sorts.
Ok so this takes place after s5 in which after discovering that the cloud kingdom guy tried to sell the ninja out, the rest of the cloud kingdom look into the guy to try and see whatelse he's messed with (or maybe they write in his scroll that he confessed to everything he did and that's just how trials work in the cloud kingdom ?)
Anyways they cant change whats been written so characters that were never supposed to be villains (Garmadon, Morro and Haurmi to be exact) instead of going to the afterlife (yes harumi actually died in this au) get asked if they'd like to have a second chance somewhere else since theyre first life was botched.
They all say yes.
They all come into this new workd differently idk why yet maybe the cloud kingdom did what they thought the recipients would like best, maybe different authors write each one idk.
But anyways Garmadon wakes up in an apartment with the basic knowlege of this world in his head and a note saying that everything was payed for the next few months but after that he's on his own.
He ends up working at McDonald's or something until he saves up enough to open his own self defense/martial arts dojo. One that doesn't allow quirk discrimination of any kind. He also gets several online degrees on psychology.
Harumi is reborn as Hatsume Mei's twin with her memories intact and she is quirkless but her family doesn't care and after seeing how the quirkless are treated she decides to become a hero that will open it own agency and school specifically for quirkless/'weak quirked' people.
And then morro wakes up as a like 5 or 6yo to this random family that abandons him for having a 'dangerous quirk' but gets adopted by inko and is now the older brother of Izuku midoriya.
Morro does think izuku can be a hero because he has the kindness that morro didn't and so he trains him (not as hard as Wu did him but morro definitely didn't go easy on Izuku)
Morro also doesnt stand how the bakugo's treat izuku or eachother so katsuki and his fam are a bit more chill.
However since homeschooling isnt legal in japan (yes that's actually true I just looked it up) and they can't exactly afford to switch schools or sue they have to suck it up, bakugo helps with bully's when he can and Morro and Inko do however document everything.
A few years before UA Izuku decides he wants to clean up diagoba beach.
So morro and izuku devise a plan to organize a big clean up for it
they meet Harumi and Mei there becuase Mei wanted dibs on any scraps despite the fact that their parents can buy them any parts she wants.
Then it turns out that harumi and izuku alreayd knew eachother from a quirkless forum/website that they were both on.
So they excange numbers and Izuku jumps on the chance to join harumi in becoming quirkless hero's together and making a free of discrimination hero school with Mei as their weapons/costume designer.
Morro dodoesn'tnow how but he ends up training harumi too, who recognizes his moves as spinjistu but keeps it to herself because unsurprisingly she's not sure how to ask him if he's from another world.
Izuku sees that a new dojo has opened up that takes quirkless students and suggests him and harumi train there.
Morro and harumi are skeptical but agree and morro amd inko go with them just in case.
The when they get inside the harumi and morro just freeze because 'oh crap is that my uncle/the guy I revived the evil part of and wanted to adopt me?'
Garmadon freezes aswell when he sees morro (he however doesn't know harumi)
But they all brush t off as a coincidence. I mean theres no way anyone else was goven a second chance or if they were theres no way they were all put in the same world right? Right?
So they all act like nothings going on until izuku does some ninjitzu moves that morro taught him and garmadon is like "oh my gosh that is my nephew"
later harumi uses her coding skills that she has thanks to being a hats u me and creates a private group chat thing for the 3 of them that only they can use.
Harumi and morro both explain what theuve done to lloyd and express some regret and garmadon is really pissed but decides to forgive them because 1. If they were here that meant it was partly the cloud kingdoms fault 2. They're both children and were also children in ninjago. And 3. their trying to change just like him so as the adult (or at least the only adult from ninjago that they know of) he should probably try and set a good example right?
Though just becuase he understands and forgives them doesnt mean hes not still upset that they hurt his son, but it is nice to be able to talk fully about ninjago and thier traumas and make jokes that no one else would get an eventually he warms up to them.
anyways they all agree thay izuku is gonna be an amazing hero and decided to team up to make sure that happens no matter what
and thats all i have for right now :)

mcyt brain rot for you all
this is both anysis and headcanon and au scenario, all blended together. you're welcome :D
----------
i have this headcanon,,,, cobbled together by some tumblr posts i read,,,, but some of them point out that wilbur is like, good at manipulating people as well to a point, right?
so i was thinking. what if his reach extended far beyond what anyone thought of? *what if wilbur's influence spread to dream?*
i know we've discussed this before (or sparrow analyzed it idk) but like. hear me out. this headcanon has to do with how wilbur wants to create a narrative. pit it against dream and his presumed original desires to create a safe happy place for his friends. wilbur's insistence that dream is the "tyrant". what if wilbur saw how dream was pointedly staying out of conflict, decided, "i dont like that," and began twisting the storyline and pulled dream's strings (pointedly off camera bc headcanons, babyyyy) so that dream would eventually fall into ruin, as the disgraced tyrant?
and dream...he KNOWS what wilbur's doing. to him specifically. and he's struggling so hard at the beginning, judging by his soft, passive demeanor when wilbur asks about the tnt.
i think, that somewhere along the line, dream lost sight of where his boundaries lied, and falls right into wilbur's plot pit and became The Villain. and he's like, fuck. I went and done it, oh no.
and....it worsens.
i had this whole scenario in my head that dream fully embraces the villain role, plays wilbur's game and completes the "narrative"...but is so fed up with wilbur and his stupid fucking ploys that he...bends the rules a little. changes shit up.
something...oh, a little like "lets speedrun my fall into villainy" bc it wouldn't be dream without the speedrun.
fast forward to prison. maybe if dream finally gets to resurrect wilbur. and wilbur is Not Pleased with how dream has decided to handle his narrative.
but its like. dream doesn't give two shits about wilbur's goddamn narrative anymore. he **played wilbur's game**. he's done with his role. he's given them peace, given them a happy end.
sure, he's given the rest plenty of trauma, but hey, it all turned out okay in the end, right? theyve got their happy ending. theyve BEATEN the big bad nightmare. his role is OVER.
but wilbur doesnt like it. doesnt like the lengths dream went to. it wasn't supposed to be like this. dream wasn't supposed to turn out this much of a *monster.*
and dream laughs. "will, wilby, wilbur," he croons madly, in his pretty little cell, preening like a cat. "i dont care," he hisses. "you fucking wanted this. you WANTED me to be this way. right? mr. revolutionary man? come on now, dont tell me you never expected this."
and wilbur tries to protest, but dream cuts him off.
"no. NO. dont' play your stupid littke games on me wilbur. you udnerstand? im DONE. im so sick of your bullshit, your countries your wars and your stupid fucking "story". I WANTED PEACE AND SAFETY. ALL i asked was "hey, don't be jerks, we're all one big community," and you didn't even have the DECENCY to just adhere to those rules, not even a little bit! you -- i let you in here because of TOMMY, you know that? the reason you even got to BE in this world was because tommy "vouched" for you. said you would be a great addition. and tommy-- i loved that kid back then, you know? he was bright and annoying and he made the server FUN. you took that brilliance, took that kid, and turned him against me, against ALL of us -- for what? independence? I HANDED YOU INDEPENDENCE AND YOU SPAT IT IN MY FACE LIKE IT WAS THE MOST VILE THING YOUVE EVER RECEIVED. i didnt even ENFORCE my rules, they were so loose literally EVERYONE broke them at some point.
but you? you had the audacity to call me a tyrant. to call me selfish, greedy, controlling. and then you declared war. the pet wars, the first disc wars weren't even close to the intensity you brewed during the revolution.
you had this little ideal in your head. and ill have to hand it to you, it was certainly impressive. but you didnt need to press it, to pressure it on the people of my server. you did anyway. you created this plot, this scheme to paint me as the villain, as the final boss. and you know what? FINE! if this is what it takes for them to be safe and happy, i'll be the villain.
but don't come in here expecting me to play that role again. i DID my part. i united them. my work is over.
but you, wilbur? heh. you get to deal with ALL the consequences of your war games. you'll be the one dealing with tommy's nightmares, tubbo's anger, everyone's hatred, fuck, you even get to deal with the egg!! isnt that nice? i was willing to deal with the egg, you know, it appeared before the whole election thing. but since you're here, you may as well take over. because you're SO great at directing them, you know? better than i ever could.
point is, wilbur, you don't get to use me as the tyrant, the final boss, the bad guy, and the villain anymore. when i said i would be putting the most powerful person in here, I wasn't fucking lying!"
"but tommy said you were going to put him in there!"
"you know, with the amount of times ive practically lied to that kid, im surprised he still believed me. i was never planning to put him in here. no one else would be put in here. hell, even techno and phil would just have gotten stuck here for about a week. i had guidelines, you know. i put them in a book somehwere, in one of my bases. no one was supposed to get unfair treatment. unfortunately i seemed to have pulled the short end of thr stick. that seems to be all that im doing these days."
"dream—"
"no. don't do that. don't pull me into another one of your plots wilbur. i don't want to hear it. you got your villain. your villain is gone, wilbur.
it's time to be the hero. :)"
basically my points here are like.
-wilbur made a narrative that dream didnt agree with
-this narrative painted dream in a negative villian light so dream basically said "yeah fuck that" and spedran his role
-headcanons galore i really do like the idea of dream creating that prison for himself to be locked in
-once wilbur is back he visits dream and explains his displeasure that dream went and did the things he did bc 1) hurt a lot of people personally and 2) did not adhere to the villain role wilbur specifically assigned to dream
-additional mentions: both wanted peace but in different forms. dream wanted peace for peace's sake but wilbur wanted peace after struggles. dream genuinely loved everyone on the server, but had to shed those attachments because to him, PERSONALLY, it would be a weakness towards his "villainous" role. his threatening of tubbo in front of tommy so tommy can "be the hero like spiderman and batman" shows that he knows exactly how empowering attachments are. lastly, dream only began manipulating people after the pogtopia arc. he mostly stayed the neutral party during it, and was just reacting with plans among plans during the lmanburg revolution.
-additionally, wilbur really wanted to stay dead, but dream said "haha no" and alived him again bc if he has to be the one to inflict trauma onto people then wilbur has to suffer leading the efforts to recovery.
hi @dreamsclock u keep giving me brainrot so im tossing this at u thank u goodbye i hope u dont mind the tag

WIP MASTERPOST
@chickenmcfly1 wanted to hear about the rest of my wips, so i'm gonna make a big ass post about them bc i really am excited to talk about em! i'm going to put them under a read more here because there's a LOT of them.
my full wip list can be referenced here. i already talked about cute redhead, i waited up all night but i never saw the light, jukebox heroes, and who is the man i see where i'm supposed to be in this post, so feel free to check that out as well bc i had a LOT to say about some of those!
i will go down the list as it appears in the original wip post but i will not be addressing the fics i already spoke about. the link to that post is available above!
disclaimer: these are wips so any snippets featured may not be perfectly polished! dialogue may be wonky, i might not have descriptors, etc. they're wips for a reason lol.
now it's time for me to find out if tumblr posts have a word limit lol here we go!
bttf2:
this is basically just an outline of an au where jennifer actually got to be a part of the adventure! that's not the only change but i'll elaborate later. i will be honest, though, this hasn't progressed past marty (bc in this fic it's marty instead of jennifer) getting out of his future home because i dont know if i want to just follow a similar plot to the movie but with jennifer, or completely change it up. because honestly i think the almanac business could be different with her influence.
other than jennifer being a central character and marty getting trapped in his future home rather than her, i wanted to give marlene a bigger part because i absolutely adore her. it's not a HUGE part cuz she's still a side character, but it's more than what she got canonically. tho admittedly atm junior is kinda sidelined bc since doc doesnt use all his juice on jennifer, he's able to knock out jr for the full hour (or however long it is idk). so instead of marty running into his future son, he and jennifer run into their future daughter! so there's no junior in cafe 80's but later jennifer and doc get to have fun w junior figuring out "how the hell do we get him back into his house and get marty out"
i wanted to get marty in the future house bc i think theres a lot of comedic potential in his future self not recognizing himself, plus marty's fumbling over the future technology is always endearing imo. oh, and him accidentally calling lorraine and george mom and dad when he shouldnt be is a good gag.
i did actually share a bit of dialogue from this fic here back when i was randomly posting bits and pieces of wips, so i'll include it here. here's a snippet from the beginning (formatting is a bit weird cuz im pasting it directly from a word doc so the indentations are gone):
2. Jennifer, Marty, and Doc touch down in 2015
a. Setting: Alley in Hill Valley
i. Marty and Jennifer want to explore.
ii. Doc details plan to Marty and prepares him with a change of clothes.
iii. Jennifer asks how she can help; Doc doesn’t have an answer. She insists she won’t just stay in the alley while they do God knows what.
1. “You’re not just gonna leave me here in the alley, are you?”
2. “Of course we’re not gonna leave you here! Right, Doc?”
iv. Jennifer asks for a disguise, then asks about their future kids.
1. “Unfortunately, I didn’t anticipate that you would be joining us, so I don’t have an appropriate change of clothes available.”
2. “You said Marty was the spitting image of our future son, right? Or, uh, the other way around, I guess. What about our future daughter? I could disguise myself as her while Marty pretends to be our son. She probably looks just like me, doesn’t she?”
3. Doc grimaced. “She is also the spitting image of Marty, but with long, blonde hair.”
4. Jennifer blinked. “You’re joking. Neither of our kids look like me? How can you even be so sure they’re mine? Obviously they’re his. Unless they’re just clones. What’s cloning technology like in the future?”
5. “Very efficient, but I can assure you that you are indeed their biological mother. They both have your eyes.”
6. “Of course they do.”
cute redhead: SEE LINK ABOVE
i waited up all night but i never saw the light: SEE LINK ABOVE
jukebox heroes: SEE LINK ABOVE
marty jr and marlene:
oh this one...this one is based off a drawing i did (and have been meaning to redraw digitally) of junior and marlene looking up at the night sky together. this one is one i love but admittedly havent worked on in quite a long time. every time i come back to it i change things up. (I've previously referenced the fic based off it here and here) It's gotten significantly longer as well every time I work on it (not that it's very long at all atm its like 1300 words. but i'm not one for writing super long fics). At its core, it's about the bond between Marlene and Junior and i think it's really sweet. Reading back over it right now, I think it's actually almost done??? so i just need to get my ass back to work.
also i want to say that drawing marlene and junior is much easier than writing them bc i worry so much about characterization in general but also it feels harder bc there's barely anything to actually go off of. which ig means i'm free to bend them to my will but idk i'd rather draw them bc they dont have to talk lol.
it was really hard to pick a snippet to share but considering i've already shared two bits of dialogue i'm going to pick out some not-dialogue:
It was a ritual they had.
One of them would knock on the other’s door late at night with an offering—several bags of snacks, a few bottles of Pepsi Perfect or a dirty magazine, typically—and the other would lead them out of their bedroom window out onto the roof so they could talk. Tonight, Marlene had knocked on her brother’s door with a Ziploc baggie in hand, and Junior’s eyes had lit up as he opened the window for her.
[...]
The unspoken rule about their rendezvous was to never push the other into talking about whatever it was that brought them to the roof. They figured their sibling would get it off their chest when they were ready. Tonight, Junior was more than content to just sit out under the stars with his sister and enjoy her company. Maybe that’s all she wanted. He hugged his knees to his chest and watched police drones patrol the street down below.
marty jr and mjf:
this is a fic i talked about recently! just a goofy fic where marlene and junior hit up "blast from the past" antiques (per junior's request) and this week there's a shipment in of teen magazines from the 1980's, a lot of them which feature junior's celebrity crush, michael j fox! so it's just sibling shenanigans in the store, and then family shenanigans later that night during family dinner. and junior getting embarrassed by his family members the whole time.
honestly i dont remember where this silly idea came from?? if i had to guess, it has something to do with super real mahjong ova having mjf on the back of cocksucker magazine in that one scene but i cant say for sure lmaooo.
this fic is also the one that features the "ha! good luck! you'll never be 5'7"!" dialogue that is referenced in this art post
i dont have much else to say about this so. time for another height-based snippet:
“Hey!” Junior dropped to the floor to quickly pick up the fallen magazines and set them back on the counter. He briefly checked them for damages, then turned back around to glare at his sister. “Give me that!” His arm shot out to take the magazine back, but Marlene was faster than he, and she held it above her head, out of his reach.
“Maybe if you’d had that first growth spurt you wouldn’t be jumping for it!”
“Not my fault those ugly wedged sneakers give you, like, three extra inches of height!”
Marlene gasped. “They’re not ugly! Take that back!”
“No way! Not until you give me the magazine back!”
“You’ve got a whole stack of, like, ten more on the counter!”
Ms. Ovitz rushed over when she heard raised voices. “Hey! No scuffling in my store, kids!” she chastised. Both teenagers lowered their heads in shame and mumbled apologies. Junior shot a glare at Marlene. She stuck her tongue out in return.
marty nightmare no comfort:
this one is basically what's on the tin: marty has a nightmare about doc dying in 1885 and the man himself is not there to reassure marty that he's even still alive. this is post bttf3 bc doc is Not There. and its so extra sad bc marty's actually asleep at doc's when he has this nightmare. sad little marty still sneaking out to spend the night at doc's place even tho doc isn't there. poor kiddo is so disoriented when he wakes up...:'(
i actually was about to post this some months ago but then decided i didnt like my description of the nightmare (and some other things) AT ALL so it still needs to be worked on a bit.
snippet:
Throwing his legs over the side of the bed, Marty scrubbed his tears away and took a few moments to control his breathing. Once he had calmed down, he hopped down off the bed and slowly crept through the laboratory. He couldn’t read the faces of any of the myriad of clocks hung on the wall in the dark, but he assumed it was the middle of the night. He also assumed Doc wouldn’t mind being woken up, considering the state Marty was in. It almost felt childish, but after suffering from yet another nightmare about his best friend dying, he could use a hug.
He bumped into the table and cursed under his breath, then immediately shushed himself. He didn’t want Einstein to wake up and start barking. He was surprised his crying hadn’t woken the dog earlier. He placed his hands along the edge of the table and carefully tread past it. Doc’s bed wasn’t too much farther, now. He squinted his eyes to try and find the shape of his best friend. “Doc?” he whispered, craning his neck forward to get a better look. “Psst, hey, Doc? I, uh, well—I had a nightmare, and I could reallyuse some, ah…reassurance you’re not actually dead.”
He was at the dresser now, and he could see dim moonlight pouring through the window on the other side of the room, illuminating—
An empty bed.
marty nightmare with comfort:
you messaged me about this one in particular and i'm sorry to disappoint but at the moment this is literally all i have written:
Marty woke up with a start in an unfamiliar bed. He half-expected some incarnation of his mother to tell him he was safe and sound, back in whichever good ol’ year he’d stumbled into, but then he recognized the dozens of clocks ticking on the wall next to his head. Oh, he realized. I’m still at Doc’s.
“I would never leave you, Marty. Not intentionally, and not without giving you a head’s up, first.”
which is the very beginning, and then the end. probably not the last sentence of the whole fic or anything but something near the end. for some reason this was giving me trouble and i honestly haven't gone back to it in a long time. it will be very similar to the no comfort one in setting and the nightmare will probably be the same but obviously it will be different bc doc will actually be there.
marty sr and marlene:
i've talked about this before somewhere on my blog, and i actually had this in my drafts on ao3 and was getting close to finishing but the draft deleted b4 could get back to it and so i lost some dialogue but i think i can rewrite it. anyway, this is a bttf2 au fic where marty runs into marlene in front of the courthouse pond after the hoverboard chase with griff. cue marlene mistaking him for her brother! hilarity ensues!
but wait, sonny, didn't you say in your bttf2 au post earlier that marty (and jen) run into marlene? yes i did! because i started writing this fic first, and then was like "wait how would that go down with jennifer" and started outlining that au!
the interactions arent exactly the same which is why i think both can possibly exist at once lol. even if they were the same, they're both my fics and i can do what i please lmao. tho i will say i only started writing this one for ONE joke. which i'm not sure if i've shared before but i will share here:
“Your voice sounds deeper, Junior,” she interrupted, smiling. “How long has it been now since you started T?”
Marty narrowed his eyes. There was only one t-word he thought might possibly be the right answer. “Trank?”
This sent Marlene into a laughing fit that had her nearly bent in half. “Jesus, Junior,” she wheezed. “Is that all you can think about right now? What the hell gave you the bright idea to take such heavy stuff in the middle of the day?”
Heavy. Finally, a word he knew.
Marlene wiped the tears out of her eyes. “I am so going to hold this against you forever,” she giggled, then burst back into laughter. “God, Junior, you’re really something else. I’ll ask you later when you’re sober. You sound really good, though.”
(also i call it marty sr and marlene rather than marty and marlene so i dont get it confused w the marty jr and marlene fic. idk it doesnt make sense but it works for me)
martyjen ear piercing:
this is another one that doesn't have much written, but the basic premise is that jennifer pierces marty's ear in her bathroom with a sewing needle, an ice cube, and a potato. here's a treat:
“A potato, Jen? Really? What the hell is that for?”
“To catch the needle, Marty,” she answered matter-of-factly.
parking lot scene:
this is just the parking lot scene from the end of the movie but with more desperation and crying because i like to crank up marty's emotions :) also there is currently frantic, holy-shit-i-thought-i'd-lost-you kissing. debating on how to end it bc it was just gonna end kinda like the movie where suddenly they arent in the parking lot anymore, but i also did start writing the drive home so /shrug i dunno. i'm really unsure about the actions/dialogue in this one so i have a lot of brackets of alternate dialogue/action lol maybe someday i'll figure it out.
one version of the kiss:
Maybe he could blame it on the adrenaline rush of watching his best friend die and come back to life, but Marty suddenly lunged at Doc, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him with all the urgency he could muster. Doc didn’t return the kiss—he didn’t expect him to. Marty knew in the back of his mind that this was a very inappropriate way to celebrate Doc not dying, but dammit, he had struggled enough in 1955 to come to terms with how he truly felt about Doc; if he didn’t kiss him now, he’d never get the chance to. Before he could even think about pulling away, Doc’s hands—which had been hovering in the air—settled on his back, and he was kissing him back.
riverside drive but make it more desperate:
second verse, same as the first: once again, i like to crank up marty's emotions, so this is a rewrite of marty showing up on doc's doorstep in 1955 but with a helluva lot more crying and desperation. i cant believe marty didnt cry when he saw his best friend ALIVE. this one doesnt have any kissing but could u imagine opening your door to a stranger one night and they fucking launch themself at you to kiss you?? that'd be fucking wild
currently writing a marty pov but i also started writing a doc pov?? so if and when i post it'll probably b a 2-chapter thing including both povs.
doc pov snippet. admittedly there's not much written for this yet but i thought it'd be a bit more interesting than re-hashing what we know with the marty pov, cuz that isn't all that fleshed out either rn:
He swings the door open to reveal himself fully, and the kid doesn’t move. He stares up at Emmett like he’s seeing a ghost. Emmett quickly reaches forward to grab the kid by the shoulders and pull him inside. “Don’t say a word,” he whispers as he moves to usher him inside, but suddenly the kid is throwing himself at him, his arms wrapped uncomfortably tight around his middle.
He can hear the kid muttering against his shirt, which is slowly becoming damp where he’s pressed up against him. Emmett removes his hands from his shoulders, instead letting them hang awkwardly in the air. Why is this kid hugging him? Who is this kid hugging him? This is the strangest practical joke anyone has tried to pull on him. The kid’s muttering doesn’t stop; he seems to be rambling some sort of apology, though Emmett can only make out every few words. He takes a ragged breath and breaks out into a full sob.
Emmett doesn’t know how to react. He has never been a particularly affectionate person with people he knew well, let alone strange kids that nearly knock his door down late at night. Slowly, his hands fall to settle on the kid’s back, giving him a few, awkward pats he hopes are satisfactory in comforting him. The kid’s breath hitches and his shoulders shake with the new force of his crying. Emmett offers him more gentle pats and a soft, yet somewhat strained, ��there, there”.
also i know doc does quickly become affectionate with marty even tho he doesn't know him, but i dont think he would be all that comfortable in this instance lol. maybe in a few moments he'll like...feel a strange bond with this kid and like actually give him a comforting hug. and also bring him into the fucking house shfksll. i actually drew this idea first before deciding to try and write it.
title pending 2nd pov:
this is one i like a lot yet am kinda stuck on! it's marty's pov but told in second person bc i read bright lights big city like 5 years ago and i think second person is cool lol. i love how accusatory it feels and personally i connect to it better than first person?? which is weird bc you would think reading "i did xyz" would be a better self-insert than "you did xyz". idk it's like "you did xyz" oh shit i guess i did!! lol.
this fic mostly just serves as a rambling character study of marty post-bttf3. it takes place during a family dinner and is essentially just his (your) internal monologue as he (you) sit there with his (your) new and improved family. it kinda goes through everything: the way each of the family members have changed, jennifer, and some stuff about doc (and clara).
i also think its funny i've called this "title pending" bc most of these have placeholder names anyway lol.
it was hard to choose a snippet bc frankly there are a lot of bits of this that i do really like, but ultimately i'm choosing to share this one bc i remember (part of it) being one of the first things i wrote for it back when it was just ramblings in my notes app:
Your mother asks you about your date. Date? You went to the lake with Jennifer, remember? Oh, now you remember. You remember what happened at the lake, and you remember what was supposed to happen at the lake. You lie and tell her it was fantastic, but you don’t kiss and tell. She giggles and reaches over to squeeze your shoulder and call you a good boy. The truth is, you could barely look at Jennifer. God, Jennifer. Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer. She’s just as beautiful as you remember. Except when you look too closely, she looks a bit different. Something new with her hair? No, it’s more than that. It’s her essence. Jennifer was never one to faint. She was fierce, and headstrong, and much more clever than she let on. She got almost as many tardies as you on a weekly basis, but always argued her way out of detention. She usually pulled elaborate stunts to get you out of it. She called Doc Doc, just like you do. Not Doctor Brown. She knew the difference between dreams and reality. This Jennifer isn’t your Jennifer, but your Jennifer doesn’t exist anymore, so now this is your Jennifer. Heavy.
who is the man i see where i'm supposed to be: SEE LINK ABOVE
sweet 16:
i feel like ive talked about this before but maybe i havent? anyway it's just a snapshot of the end of marlene's 16th birthday where marty reveals they got her a car. in this fic, the mcfly kids are 2 years apart cuz it'd be awful if they were twins and marlene got a car but junior didnt.
this idea is borne of this dialogue exchange:
"The end of the road's coming up, sweetheart. You gotta turn around."
"Roads? Daddy, where we're going, we don't need roads."
"Talk about deja vu."
"What's that, Daddy?"
"Nothing sweetheart. You just mind the road now and hey--ease up on the gas, Marley. The mall's not going anywhere."
i think marley as a nickname for marlene is cute ok
oh:
this is literally almost nothing, but the idea is that marty meets doc in 1955 and is like oh fuck he's so handsome and gets a little puppy crush on him. this is partially me projecting bc i think 1955 doc is so fucking handsome
pretty much everything i have written atm:
Marty was doomed as soon as the door to 1640 Riverside Drive swung open. Like a picture on the cover of a cheesy romance novel, Doc towered over Marty, his posture strong [blah blah blah]. Unlike a cheesy romance novel, Doc was wearing a weird ass fucking helmet and had a crazed look on his face, which Marty found immediate comfort in.
Had Doc always been this handsome?
Surely he would've noticed that Doc was, well, gorgeous.
i think i'm bisexual:
marty and jennifer come out to each other as bisexual. that's pretty much it.
snippet:
"I think I'm bisexual."
Jennifer smiled. "Marty, that's wonderful...I'm bisexual, too."
Marty was instantly flooded with relief and he couldn't help the wide smile that bloomed on his face. "Wow, Jen, that's...that's great! So we're both...God, that's a load off my chest!"
i fashioned you from jewels and stone:
this was mentioned in the post linked above (as companion/draft to "i waited up all night but i never saw the light") so i'm not going to rehash all that, but I will share a bit of dialogue that's specifically in this file:
"Dad? He's not the type to run in and save the day. If George McFly thought he was getting robbed, he'd gladly let them take whatever they wanted. He'd give them a damn tour of the house; make sure they don't miss anything. [If he saw me--well, if he saw me, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong, would he?"]
"What the hell makes you think Dad's such a wimp? You've seen how he's got Biff whipped into shape. Dad said Biff used to bully him in highschool, but he sure isn't taking any of his shit now."
"What?"
"You can't tell me you've never heard the story! Dad laid out Biff at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance and has had him under his thumb ever since. Hell, he's got him waxing our cars."
"No, of course I know that story." I watched it happened, he doesn't tell the other Marty. "I just...he's really not a wimp?"
"No, not at all. Why would you think that?"
hold my hand (just like you used to do):
title comes from "i'm not leaving" by keane. it's not much at the moment, but the idea is that it's about marty's struggle expressing his emotions, especially in front of doc, and letting go of his macho act that he puts on to seem like he's brave and not cowardly. so the beginning will be when marty's 14-15 and about how doc gets him to open up, and then whatever happens by the end will be 17 year old marty grabbing for doc's hand for comfort, like when he was a younger kid. so basically it's about holding hands for comfort. also it's doc's pov i dont think i made that very clear.
the actual first line of this fic is "marty mcfly was a scared little boy" so you can just imagine how marty's going to be doing emotionally in this fic lol.
snippet. again, theres not much here atm:
For a long time, Marty had trouble expressing his emotions in front of Emmett. His face would twist up as he forced himself not to cry, and he'd clench his fists tightly against his sides. Emmett could see it eating Marty up inside, every time. What made the boy think he couldn't cry in front of him? Did this happen every time he wanted to cry?
Emmett slowly reached over to lay his hand atop Marty's, attempting to comfort him. The boy started wailing at the touch. Emmett was about to pull away, startled by the sudden reaction, but Marty's slim fingers clamped tightly around his hand.
UGH I DONT KNOW:
this is something i started writing for @lonepinetimeline to go along with a drawing i gave him for christmas where marty tells doc he loves (romantically) him for the first time. however i was struggling so bad to write it cuz 1) i couldnt figure out how i wanted to start it and 2) despite anything abbey tells u, writing romance and being mushy doesnt always come very easily for me. like sometimes i just feel like it's goofy idk. hence the title bc i was getting frustrated with it. maybe one day i'll be able to finish it for theo <3
couple snippets (not sure if i want these right next to each other):
He knew those big, warm, brown eyes were staring at him, begging him to look into them, and even though Marty knew he'd only feel more overwhelmed, he lifted his gaze. Oh, Marty wanted to cry; Doc looked so earnest. His name was repeated.
"Yeah, Doc, I'm fine, I'm great. Everything's perfect."
Doc's brow furrowed. "You look like you have something on your mind. Would you feel comfortable sharing with me?"
and then the dialogue that the drawing was based off of:
Marty's blush deepened, and he stammered out, "I, uh, love you, Doc."
Doc melted into a warm smile. "Marty, I am hopelessly devoted to you. I love you."
jeez doc you're really quoting grease rn
marty develops a habit of calling doc:
what little i have written in this document pretty much says it all:
Marty develops a habit of calling Doc and leaving voice messages even though he knows he isn't there, going so far as to label and replace the casettes when he fills them up. Emotional ending where after a long time, Doc actually picks up.
"...Marty?"
"Doc? Doc! Doc, is that really you?"
i think marty would call about anything and everything, but obviously he'd tell him about the big things, like what happened after he sent in the audition tape, stuff with his relationship with jennifer (including engagement and marriage and children--yeah, i want to play the long game to make it really fucking hurt). like literally marty ends up buying the garage and paying doc's bills and stuff so he can still call him and so that doc still has somewhere to return to when he does finally decide to come back. maybe this weird obsession puts a strain on jen and marty's marriage cuz it surely has a big financial impact. u know marty literally drops whatever he's doing to go drive to the garage after doc picks up the fucking phone and there's a big heartwarming reunion hug. extra sad if marty's in like his forties so at least thirty years have fucking gone by.
"why would this happen why wouldnt doc just come back, like, the day after leaving again so it's as if no time passed??" well thats not angsty is it lol i want the angst
it's cold (when you're not home):
this, my friends, is the beginning of a sequel/follow up to deal with god! the title comes from "you're not home" by keane (noticing a fucking theme? lol) i don't have much figured out plot-wise because there are a lot of different directions i could potentially go and i'm trying to decide between them. this will ideally be multi-chapter and probably the longest thing i'll ever write, assuming i can figure out a plot and find the time/energy to finish it. in the grand scheme of things, i dont have much done cuz i keep focusing on specific scenes and details.
quick rundown (until im not sure where exactly i want it to progress): this fic begins the morning after marty's been gunned down in the parking lot, with police visiting doc's home to escort him to retrieve both the van and the delorean (which has been found in the middle of the town square with its front end smashed in. coincidentally, the front of the theater is also smashed in). this will lead to doc spending some time at the police station, explaining the situation but without mentioning the time travel aspect bc who the hell is going to believe him? he's already lucky enough he's not getting charged for marty's murder. so the police have questions. the mcflys have questions. literally everyone in hill valley is buzzing over this tragedy.
so the mcflys. theyre in horrible shape as you can imagine. worst of all is lorraine, who will "revert" back to the way she had been in the original timeline (goddamn marty had no idea there were even positive changes after all that. so sad) aka she's gonna take up drinking to try and cope with her son's death. even sober, she's going to be very angry, and she's going to take it out on doc (understandably so). honestly anytime ive thought about this fic ive been focusing on her, doc, or jennifer so i dont have much to say about the rest of the family.
doc of course cared immensely for marty so he's going to try and be there for the mcflys but its gonna cause drama bc lorraine blames him for marty's death. most people do actually bc the terrorist thing seems too far-fetched (combined w doc's reputation it's all just fishy). jennifer is one of few who actually believes doc, though she still doesn't understand what the hell happened...until he comes clean about the time machine.
in talking in the comments of deal with god with @emmaannaelisabeth, she suggested the idea that doc comes clean about time travel (publicly, rather than just to a select few) and that this propels him to becoming a respected scientist and maybe winning awards as well, so i've been thinking about that cuz oh boy, it's what marty would've wanted for him but doc isn't convinced that it was worth it. not like this. also as soon as lorraine learns about time travel she's gonna have a whale of a time...:/
anyway yeah it's gonna be a whole mess and everyone's pretty much going to be having a bad time most of the time. there are a lot of details and even basic plot points i don't quite have yet but it's called a work in progress for a reason.
here's a snippet of a part near the beginning, where doc's visited by a police officer:
"Doctor Brown!" A voiced called from the other side of the door. "It's Officer [Not Parker], here to escort you back to your vehicle!"
Emmett got up on shaky legs and unlocked the front door, opening it wide enough to get a look at the police officer on the other side. He offered a pained smile.
"Hope I didn't wake you, Doctor Brown," he apologized, removing his hat. "Thought I'd take you over before the mall opened. You're not quite parked between the lines," he chuckled.
Emmett furrowed his brow as he tried to process the officer's words. The man was awful chipper for it being fewer than twelve hours since a teenager was brutally murdered in the lot they were returning to. He realized the man was still talking. "I'm sorry, I didn't get much sleep." About two minutes of sleep, to be exact. "Could you repeat that?"
"Not a problem, sir. I said that after I escort you back to your vehicle, I'm going to need you to come down to the station. They've got a few questions about the incident; it's protocol for these kinds of situations. Also got a few questions about the modified DeLorean we found in the town square that's registered you to."
"The DeLorean was in the town square?"
"Smack dab in the middle of the street, by the theater. Which, by the way, had its front entrance completely smashed in. Not sure exactly what happened there, but given the proximity of your car, and taking into account the damage to the front fender of the vehicle, I've got a pretty good hunch."
so which side of the family is he from?:
this is the only other planned multi chapter fic (riverside drive kind of ended up being multi chapter on accident, as well as marty jr and mjf, bc i just kept writing lol. but those r only 2 chapters each (eventually) while this would be longer. ideally. hopefully) and it is a follow up to little high, little low
i really dont have a plot figured out for this yet. i cant decide if i want to just do a stuart little 1 or 2 au but marty and doc swoop in to help out, or create an original adventure that involves tannens because is it even a marty mcfly story if there isn't a tannen? lol makes me feel like im writing for the cartoon where literally every antagonist is some sort of tannen, no matter the time or place. the way little high, little low was written was purposefully vague because even then i wasnt sure how i wanted to go about it later.
i currently have things written in this document to fit either idea. also it's funny because what's here barely has stuart in it at all. there's actually a whole bit mostly written out where marty asks doc why he's so concerned about his future family, and it literally reads like it could be its own fucking fic because it definitely feels out of place in this fic when it's isolated. obviously, if i had stuff going on with stuart before and after, it could make more sense within it, but right now its kinda like "oh okay this is a really nice bit of dialogue. dont know why theyre talking about it in this fic tho"
here's part of the only thing i have written that actually has stuart in it:
"Here he comes now. Stuart, would you come out here, please?"
"Hey Mom, what's up?"
Marty still can't believe he's looking at an upright, talking mouse. He must be gaping at him, because Doc gives him a curt nudge that causes Marty to quickly fix his face.
"Who're they?" Stuart asks as Mrs. Little bends down and offers her hand. The mouse hops onto her palm.
"Stuart, this is Marty, and this is Doctor Emmett Brown. Marty's your cousin."
Stuart's eyes light up. "I have a cousin? Wow, this is amazing! It's nice to meet you, Marty! Can I shake his hand, Mom?"
"Sure, sweetheart, if that's alright with him. Is that okay with you, Marty?"
Marty blinks. He looks to Doc for help but the man is avoiding his gaze. "Sure."
Mrs. Little leans forward, stilling holding Stuart in her palm. Once he's within arm's reach, Stuart sticks out one of his tiny hands. "Put her there, cousin!" he grins, and it takes up his entire face, his eyes nearly squinted shut.
Marty cautiously reaches for the outstretched hand--paw--and shakes it gingerly between his forefinger and thumb. "Right back atcha," he replies weakly.
honestly this fic/series is where i really get to be funny (imo) so i'm gonna share this part i have written just cuz i want everyone to know that i can write humour and have good comedic timing:
"[...] We're always in Hill Valley, anyway, where some generation of Tannen is out to get my hide, and what the hell am I supposed to do about that? But this is New York: no Tannens out East, right?"
"This brings me to my next point."
Marty's face paled. "You're not about to tell me there's a Tannen here in New York City that's itching to pick a fight with me, right?"
Doc shook his head but his frown only deepened.
"Itching to pick a fight with...Stuart?"
Doc winced.
"Perfect."
FOR CRYSTAL BALL:
this was mentioned in relation to who is the man i see where i'm supposed to be in the post linked above so im not gonna talk too much about it. this file is basically stuff i might add into that fic but at the moment is separate cuz its easier to jot down shit on my phone. here's something:
Marty's head was swimming. He could feel his thoughts being read, his memories being manipulated, as if the man in the mirror were physically arranging and rearranging his consciousness.
HELLO IF YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE END CONGRATULATIONS IM NOW IN LOVE WITH YOU! But in all seriousness, I really appreciate you taking the time to read all of this (compiling this literally took me all day haha) and I hope that you liked at least a few of the ideas in here! I know some are a bit weirder than others (yes i am looking at you stuart little x bttf crossover) and some may be a ship you dont like, but it means the world to me that you took the time to get all the way down to the bottom <3 literally if you want like a discounted commission or a kiss on the mouth i'm offering it to any of yall who made it this far, literally just message me. and tell me which wip(s) is/are your fave!

@sambambucky : “pls... Pastels, Peaches and Pain??? among us first draft??? marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts (it’s not an au!?!??!)
hi jo !!! Pastels, Peaches, and Pain is one of those sambucky wips i have mostly fully fleshed out in my head because of one (1) extreme moment of clarity after a rogue ‘what if’ tangent thought but havent written anything of yet out of restraint / knowing i need to finish at least one of my current sambucky wips before i start it or none of them will get done
this was the rogue tangent thought: “what if Sam is haunted by Figaro’s ghost and has been since he was a kid?”. i’ve changed the ghost cat to not be Figaro but that’s the premise !
i refer to the fic as the cat fic ‘cause the whole plot is based around sam’s ghost cat companion insisting he adopts nat’s cat Liho after endgame and then Figaro later and then [insert redacted because plot spoilers but just know it relates to Alpine]. no im not projecting my feelings about cats idk what youre talking about
here’s some note snippets just for you:
the cat, inexplicably, takes a liking to bucky, which is really annoying bc sam doesnt know how to explain to him that all the oddly soft gusts of wind are actually sam's dead cat insisting on getting pats
bucky getting shade thrown at him by said ghost cat during all of tfatws + them making up (and not out. yet)
starts when sam's a kid & follows him as he grows up w/ a ghost kitty as a companion only he can see & interact with + angst with an undertone of comedy + getting together
he whispers to ghost kitty, who simply mmrrs happily
for the among us first draft thing, what basically happened is i saw this tweet and this video and my brain latched onto these dynamics so hard i had to write about them.
here’s a sketch of my two main imposters, Black (left) and Cyan (right):
and here’s a snippet:
The thing having Cyan pause and stare out at the asteroid field is how the colors stretch to family. When they and Black came aboard, they had thought every crewmember was an adult working on the planet-change project. That the patch of off-white with a black something-pattern-or-shape signified status. In a way, Cyan supposes it does, but just not the way they expected. They had expected it to show what rank an individual held within the hierarchy of the crew, from deckhand to division leader to captain, not to show that you're family of the crew and not actually part of the crew itself.
There are innocents on this ship. Children. It was not something any of them had anticipated, and not something Cyan had been prepared to deal with. They and Black boarded this horrible place to eradicate a threat, believing each and single one of the humans were accomplishes and dedicated to the goal of destroying Cyan and Black's species, and their planet. But, now?
marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts... doesn’t have a wip title or seperate document for itself yet cause it’s been stuck in my ‘story ideas’ document since its creation. so ‘marvel meets warframe meets a bunch of tumblr posts’ is literally just me describing the vibe of an original world gjkerfkds
the world came to be for two reasons. firstly, i want to do make take on a superhero universe because the plot and complete lack of communication in both the dcu and mcu piss me the fuck off. secondly, needed a place to dump ocs with elaborate backstories or fantasy / sci-fi abilities that dont fit into any of my existing worlds
which sounds super competent but trust me, it isn’t. it didn’t gain any solidity at all until i decided to do a personal ‘how different can i make spn castiel look & still retain the same vibe?’ challenge. i have my own cas now
however, the reason i said ‘marvel meets...’ is because i’ve snagged a couple of different things from the mcu, most notably: enemies to reluctant coworkers to lovers, yes our best friend have the same name. no they’re not the same person, secret evil org is controlling the government, and the assassin that tried to kill you several times is now your best friend
warframe was added to the world because i got attached to my Volt build, gave them a name, and have some headcanons idk what to do with because i refuse to interact with that fandom. also because the friend i made through discussing warframe lore + plot dicked me over so it feels Bad to create for
the glue to this whole mess is that one “in every friend group there’s a mean bisexual, an even meaner lesbian, a she/they, a he/they, a himbo, an astrology bitch, a short king, and a token straight” tumblr post. my main group of superheroes ala the avengers consist of these people. the token straight is the only one i havent figured out who is yet
ever since i figured that out ive been throwing story / character ideas and weirdly specific aesthetics from popular tumblr posts into this world’s notes. here’s some examples:
sword grandmas
that trope where someone’s really nice and acts super well-adjusted to society but then they do something super whack and dangerous and you realize ‘oh they’re secretly a little bit insane, actually’
anti-gay group’s leader’s wife leaves him for another woman
superhero who swore to be the best hero [city / planet / solar system / continent / ????] has ever seen ever since he lost his wife. not because she’s dead but divorce just sucks & the hero-to-be is terrible at coping
dishevelled swamp witch
that one person who runs around with an amulet all the time & isn’t aware it’s cursed
an exasperated, tired superhuman assassin running after their husband and their husband's best friend. their husband and said husband's best friend both have wings. chaos ensues (yes, this one is a sambucky post)
ask me about my WIPs!
BONUS:
@sambambucky : #i want to have a coffee and listen to synopses of all of these.... #i miss the discord wow #WRITING TAG #waitttt time jumping dream movie? lmao I'VE READ THIS LIST FORTY TIMES and every time i rediscover something i wanna know about #outfit doodlesss ugh i need to go
couldnt not respond to your tags because they make me go ghrkjfnerknf but in the good way. we miss you too jo !!
the time jumping dream movie was one of the first vivid dreams i had and the whole thing was so stupidly coherent and whacky i had to write it down. it grew plot, a queer love dynamic, weird sci-fi apocalypse elements, anti-military propaganda, questionable science, and a sequel while i wasnt looking and now i just. have to make it a real movie or i’ll combust
outfit djoodlles.png is only on there because my best friend sent me a ‘draw this outfit’ meme and space kitty, my current character brainrot, stole all the outfits for himself. otherwise, that file just sits there until im feeling like designing an outfit or wanna see how a stupid thing looks on my oc patrick
here’s one of the two poses-to-doodle-outfits-on of space kitty ive made so far:
and here’s one of those stupid things on patrick (that then turned into an actual outfit of his because i have no self control):

I am just now finding out about your chosen one au and must know more
ok so i decided to copy paste everything i wrote to my friends when talking about it so its gonna be long Oups ... but it's the most complete ill ever be about it !
so this is set in a universe where gods, old and new are very present and usually they have humans serving them, regularly called chosen ones, every century or so. it's considered an honor and every sanctuary and gods have different missions for their chosen ones and it can go from taking care of the temple every week while being allowed to have their own life to go on a mission to erradicate evil. humans usually know that they are destined to be taken in by gods because of marks on their body, specific to the god(s) they'll serve. the mark starts to glow and guide them to where their god is waiting for them once the god decides they want them.
the story is set on an island stuck between two different temples. on the island stands gotham which is a strangely sunny city, and then you have the deep sea in the bay, and the deep forest north of gotham. if gotham is mysteriously devoid of bad things, its because it's been giving every century a child to the old gods temple in the deep forest. and time is coming, soon, another one will go.
so here you have the wayne family, they mostly have the same backgrounds ? kind of ? cass's parents were mercenaries that went into the deep forest, where no one (haha) in gotham dares going due to fear of breaking the old gods protections, never came back, and left cass on her own in town. bruce adopted her. dick's parents were travelers on a ship that sailed not far from the island and while they did not survive, the gods in the deep see allowed dick to stay alive until he reached the coast. immm not quite sure of what happened to jason's parents yet but uh he's here and alive woo
damian is a bit of a mystery to most people. he was delivered to bruce's doorstep when he was only a few days old. what they dont know is that nine months earlier bruce went into the deep forest himself.
so added to that is timothy drake. young boy of the drake family, the two parents who dont seem to care for him much. the boy is quiet but full of smiles and affection to give and when jason and cass drag him to the wayne estate after a day out, bruce opens his arms to him. he's a regular at the wayne house and a few days after he turns 11, he stops showing up. bruce's kids cant find him. the drakes dont seem disturbed by their missing son. and bruce knows the drakes by now, know they wouldnt give their affection to someone they knew would disappear, and bruce realises tim is gone, to the old gods in the deep forest.
so tim, 11, wakes up sweating and his room lit up with a green light that he's never seen before but in dreams and he knows that it's time. he knows that this strange mark spreading across his back, shaped like a dragon, is glowing green. he's being called.
he moves by himself, not thinking, opens the door to his room and the one that leads outside and it's so fitting when he notices that his parents arent even home, that he'd leave without them caring. soon he's reaching the deep forest and for the first time in his life, when looking at the dark depth, he's not scared, and he walks on.
tim walks and walks and there are eyes looking at him bu the soft green glow reassures him, and he knows where he should walk, and soon he's reaching a temple, strong stone and green plants and a setting sun carved on its floor, and there is a man - a god ? - walking out. and his eyes are glowing green like the mark he knows is glowing in his back, but it feels wrong, and when tim looks around again everything looks so much hostile,
tim made researches on the deep forest temple, since he knew it was gonna be his future, and he knew that temple was supposed to host old gods who were dying, so why does it feel so wrong ?
tim approaches, despite himself, and waits for the man - god??? - to say anything. there is a hand, wrinkly and uncomfortable and cold, on his cheek, and tim looks up, and he's shivering when the god - he knows hes a god. he knows he is now. - speaks up.
"i am ra's al ghul. you were given to me to serve me. you will obey me in any way i see fit, and you are to never return to your human town."
tim did make researches before he was taken. he knew that usually the child taken by the deep forest gods could travel to town without punishment. he knew that, with pattern, they were taken early, before they turned fifteen. he knew that he would most likely be lucky, have a mostly free life. he didnt know that a new god in quest of power had taken over, chained some of the old gods inhabiting the temple, killed others, simply for power and magic. he didnt know that he would be chained to a scary and cold temple, with a terrifying and powerful god that could turn him to dust on a whim.
so thats basically,,, the intro ? the first part ?
so a few months after tim disappeared, it was jasons turn.
jason, much like tim, had marks on his wrists and arms, long lines following his limbs. they're signs of being of the all caste temple, chosen one for those gods. for the ones in the deep sea. now these humans linked to temple in the sea are a bit different than the kind that tim was supposed to be. the all castes purpose is protection, and while there always is a human chosen for them, they're not always called for their purpose, in fact, no all caste chosen one had been guided to the temple in the deep see in generations.
however, one day, jason woke up, glowing white lines on his arms, told dick that he had to go to the sea, and disappeared for months.
jason doesn't remember going into the sea when he wakes up in the temple, doesnt know how he survived the journey there, but he's there, by the will of the gods, and he's informed of his purpose.
something hover over the island. something bad. it's already there, its root in the islands ground, and it must be killed. that will be jason's purpose. he doesnt know where. he doesnt know when. he knows it will happen.
so they train him. they give him the weapons and magic he will need to defeat the enemy. they want to protect the island and its inhabitant.
several months later, jason leaves again, with new knowledge and strength, and washes up on the beach, and dick finds him, unconscious. he brings him back to the wayne estate, where he tells his tale of sea gods and protection and prophecy where he is the hero.
years pass. its been about nine years since tim disappeared, since jason went to the sea temple for the first time. damian is 16 and damian wants answers from his father. he knows he's from the deep forest. he knows his mother is there. he wants to meet her, he wants to know her. but bruce never talks about her, never says anything about their meeting, like he was commanded not to, and damian decides to go against all beliefs he has grown with and he prepares. he will get in the forest. he will find his mother.
except jason know his little brother and he knows and sees him planning and on the night he leaves, jason is here, not stopping him, but ready to follow him into the forest. he has a feeling. something is there for him too .
so they travel in the forest, they're not really sure how to find damian's mother with how little bruce ever said about her, and they find creatures along the way, some of them recognize damian as one of their kin, which is how they realise damian's mother is either part god or part spirit, and jason as a god's messenger. they do not guide them, but they do not attack them.
until they walk into a territory they feel they shouldnt have walked into
a small being with wings and claws attacks, telling them to not trespass, it's smaller than jason had been at 14, but it's furious and cold and it strikes right. and when jason finally looks up he's terrified to see that he recognizes the child in front of him. and its wrong, because tim should have been nineteen by now, but he doesnt look older than 15.
finally the fight draws to a close when jason calls out for tim, a name he musnt have heard a lot, or not recently, not with care and not without an order behind it. tim stops. tim looks. he recognizes the boys in front of them, even if its been nearly ten years. after all they were two of the last humans he ever saw.
"you cant be here. you cant be here if he knows he will kill you and i cant let you die. please you need to go"
im not quite sur how they get tim to follow, or if they get in ra's territory, but they camp in a safe zone with tim, and tim tells them his story
[torture mention, non consensual body modification]
after ra's took him, he tortured him, he experimented on him. after all he was his first ever human tribute, to obey and be controlled at will, a toy for an immortal, and after many games of the new god, he settled on making tim a sentinel for his property, one that will age slowly and wont feel pain, a puppet with no strings but one that is scared of ra's power, enough that it will obey. jason and damian are Angry. something at the back of jason's head tells him that this ra's might have something to do with his own prophecy.
so after that its more blurry but tim reacts strangely to damian, he's a bit scared of him and he figures out it's bc of his heritage, that he has links to ra's, and he leads them to talia who's half god half spirit and hidden deeper and deeper in the forest, away from her father, and it makes tim leave the territory he's supposed to guard, disobey ras, which makes ra's angy bc tim never disobey, not since the first few times when he was 12/13 and thought he would still get out,,,
so there is a bit of a final showdown w tim talia jason and damian facing ra's, ra's using his hold on tim to hurt him, and talia torn between her father and her son + tim who she's seen grow up from far away and who she feels she should have protected from ra's,, jason eventually has a one on one with ra's and the prophecy does happen and he kills ra's and angry old gods who were chained in the temple wake up and banish ra's soul from this realm.
they heal tim from whatever ra's did to him, with the promise that he will travel to care for the god's temple again, as his duty was supposed to be
they all get back to gotham, tim still looks 15 but will grow to his real age within a few months, he has many scars and the mark on his back changed for a setting sun like what was carved on the temple's entrance, damian has his Mom, and jason is free from his all caste duty.
the end woooo this is over 2k long rip !! feel free to ask if u got more questions :0 !!

dataghost

cassetticon
ochako is trying very hard to figure out how to tell him
ShriekingSisterhood
Kirishima: it's impossible to choose between them
dataghost

ShriekingSisterhood

cassetticon
screams
starsinger
i dont know how this happens. i could see kirishima doing it but i feel like bakugou keeps better track of his schedule than that but
cassetticon
i mean bakugou is also under the curse's thrall
dataghost

starsinger

ShriekingSisterhood

ShriekingSisterhood

ShriekingSisterhood
MAYBE HE THOUGHT KIRISHIMA WAS DOING IT ON PURPOSE
cassetticon
yeah
thats good
@ jane
ShriekingSisterhood
oh no i like that much better
he doesn't even fucking know
cassetticon
kirishima might be the only exception tho just bc of how obnoxious he is in and out of costume
ShriekingSisterhood
the only one he knows is deku and he hates that he knows it
cassetticon
wow yeah
ShriekingSisterhood
hes constantly trying to unknow it
dataghost
god
starsinger

cassetticon
SCREAMS
ShriekingSisterhood
FUCK!!!

HED KNOW THOSE ABS ANYWHERE
ShriekingSisterhood
BAKUGO GLANCING OVER AT HIS BRO WHILE THEY DO SOME CURLS IN THE GYM AND HIS CROP TOP RIDES UP AND BAKUGO'S WATER BOTTLE INSTANTLY BOILS AND EXPLODES
RIGHT IN HIS HAND
starsinger
i think the concept of 'its a secret identity au but that just means they slap a tiny domino mask on but it somehow works' is great. but so is the concept of 'they have their canon costumes with no fuckgin disguise components whatsoever but none of them know ANYWAY'
also concept tho: kirishima's superhero costume is his old emo makeup
dataghost
he just starts yelling at kirishima immediately and kirishima is just like "keep it DOWN we're in a PUBLIC GYM!!!! its supposed to be a secret!!!!! :("
ShriekingSisterhood
HFGDFH
cassetticon
holy shit vera
i love this
ShriekingSisterhood
okay but what if bakugo is like "if kirishima is red riot then he obviously figured out my secret identity way before all this"
cassetticon
i love ex-emogoth kirishima
starsinger
aAaaAAAHAHGHGH
cassetticon
OHHHH MY GOD
BAKUGOU JUST TAKES IT AS A GIVEN THAT KIRISHIMA KNWOS
ShriekingSisterhood
"How did he outsmart me, how did he figure it out"
KIRISHIMA DOESN'T KNOW A FUCKING THING MY GUY
dataghost
god what if bakugou assumes like. kirishima was doing study dates & stuff with him BECAUSE of his secret identity
starsinger
ghhh OD
ShriekingSisterhood
YEAH
cassetticon

ShriekingSisterhood
"HE WAS SENDING ME A MESSAGE?? WAS IT A THREAT? A CHALLENGE"
starsinger

kirishima: fuck now that bakugo knows im red riot what if he sees me flirting with lord explosion murder and gets pissed
dataghost
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
cassetticon
screams
starsinger
hhfdhdhfhfhHDFHFDHFHDHDFHDF
he stops flirting with lord explosion murder so much and bakugous like
pissed
ShriekingSisterhood
THE BOY IS SIMPLY TOO CURSED TO LIVE
cassetticon
god. yeah
bakugou: hes playing me like a fool again(edited)
dataghost
i mean we're assuming bakugou noticed the flirting in the first place
ShriekingSisterhood
kirishima, meanwhile a 100% genuine no playing about it fool ass fool
fuck, since bakugo thinks all interraction is rivalry
maybe he thinks like, kirishima no longer considers him an opponent or something??
cassetticon
oh. my god
yeah.
starsinger
yah its something like that
cassetticon
"you think youre too good for me now huh"
ShriekingSisterhood
so his pride is hurt, and also the deep subconscious tender part of him thats gay is hurt too
starsinger
he cant quite articulate his actual feelings hes just like
Pissed
dataghost
yeah
ShriekingSisterhood
Kirishima: (stops flirting)
Bakugo: I don't know what this is but i know how i feel about it: furious beyond articulation
starsinger
god i just thought about tsuyu for a second and im fdjkfdjfd
shes just a frog
ShriekingSisterhood
god,
starsinger
in both civilian and superhero forms. but its liek. no one thinks its weird
ShriekingSisterhood
good
dataghost
yeah sometimes youre just a frog, nbd
doesnt necessarily have anything to do with you being Popular Hero Froppy, nope
ShriekingSisterhood
sometimes 2 people are just frogs and that doesn't mean anything
maybe people assume tsuyu got into being a frog bc she likes Froppy
dataghost
just unrelatedly, frogs
starsinger
yeah! exactly
oh my god spiff
ShriekingSisterhood
and shes like (internally flustered) KERO
maybe its just like how there are, horse girls and dolphin girls in ever high school
dataghost
are you implying horse girls and dolphin girls are literally part horse & part dolphin in the bnha universe
ShriekingSisterhood
Is there are reason for them not to be
HEY THO... WHAT ABOUT THE BNHA STUDENTS LIKE GOSSIPING SUSPICIOUSLY... ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY NEVER SEE ALL MIGHT SENSEI IN HIS CIVILIAN FORM
like, assuming the teachers/adults are open abt their secret identities at the school
they're like "we've seen everyone out of hero mode except all might.... does he not have a civilian life"
Deku: (sweating)
dataghost
all might is extra secretive bc he's so like...."Gotta Be The Symbol Of Peace!!! No one can know i am a real human EVER!!!!!!"
ShriekingSisterhood
Student sees Greeblin Might like: "Oh are u that zombie hero"
yes but also in my head its that, they expect civilian all might to be buff
theres no extremely fucking unbelieably buff guy roaming the halls or in the teachers lounge or in town or anything
dataghost
yeah but even before his injury maybe he was like,
projected a super-super image like superman, like ~im not a civilian when im not heoring i live in My Special Secret Lair~ or soemthing
starsinger
god now im thinking about the logistics of this and its SO FUNNY that like every superhero in the entire town is at taht school. either as a teacher or as a student
dataghost
what if its not even a hero school
its just a regular ass school but everyone just HAPPENS to go there
starsinger
oh yeah like superman being like 'oh yeah i live in the fortress of solitude at the north pole'
YEAH EXACTLY
dataghost
yeah yeha
ShriekingSisterhood
oh my god
All Might: I live in a fortress of solitude in the alps and no once can see it with eyes
dataghost
all-might trying to live his civilian life pre-injury when he was always buff is so funny then tho
people keep asking him if he's all might and he's like no! look my hair doesnt stick up!
starsinger
KJFDJSDG
GOD
ShriekingSisterhood
All Might, ten minutes later: (buying milk at the local grocery and fucking up the self checkout)
oh my god... secret buff all might is so good
its the superman glasses type effect
starsinger
'that cant be all might hes not smiling real big'
thats the extent of all mights acting skills
ShriekingSisterhood
maybe he gets a giant tshirt that says "pessimism" so no one can possibly identify him as a civillian
dataghost
sdaljkdjsakljlaksd
starsinger
akjsfjdjf
ShriekingSisterhood
"bad mood" t shirt
dataghost
i feel like he does a bunch of comics-type secret identity stuff to cover up his civilian id but its all super flimsy
like, obviously fake glasses, a shirt like that
maybe a fake mustache
starsinger
FDSDJKLFSDKJLKJL
NOOOOOO
cassetticon
and it all works
starsinger
ALL MIGHT WHIT A FAKE MUSTACHE IS AWFULLLL
dataghost
the glasses dont even have lenses theyre just a frame
cassetticon
he gets a mustache like mics bc he thinks its Cool
dataghost
its not even a blonde mustache. its like brown and OBVIOUSLY doesnt match his hair
everyone just assumes he dyes it
starsinger
he bought non-prescription glasses but one of the lenses got knocked out but he keeps wearing them
they have One Lens
dataghost
fsljdljdfs;jlfsd;
cassetticon
i love him
god
starsinger
m2
ShriekingSisterhood
what if the mustache is attached to the glasses like groucho style
dataghost
(i thought for a second about nighteye being one of the first outside the One For All lineage to know all might's civilian id and . augh)
starsinger
god i was like 'ok i have to think about todoroki now' but now i have feelings and im lie k. Put It Back :arrow_lower_left: dot jpeg
augh jane
ShriekingSisterhood
phantom of the opera shit
thats todoroki's hero disguise
dataghost
there's a fake nose on the glasses too and it barely fits overhis actual nose
ShriekingSisterhood
actually hes just covered half in ice
starsinger
oh nevermind i remembered his caonn hero costume is like
ShriekingSisterhood
so thats fine
starsinger
a plumber suit
dataghost
a plumber
starsinger
post sports arc
dataghost
what if thats his civilian job
and he just doesnt change clothesx
starsinger
gadhdhfg
noooo
ShriekingSisterhood
what civilian job does all might have
maybe he pretends to be gran torino's home health aid
starsinger
if eel like he Didnt Have One until meeting izuku. true to canon
dataghost
i was like "office job" but then realized i was literally just thinking of mr incredible at the beginning of the incredibles
starsinger
at which point he became an absolutely awful teacher
dataghost
o h noooo
starsinger
ghjdkfujfj
ShriekingSisterhood
god,,,m wow
what does he ever teach if its not a hero school
PHYS ED
dataghost
omfg
ShriekingSisterhood
HES THE SCRAWNIEST GYM TEACHER OF ALL TIME
dataghost
vjlgsdjkldfskljfsjsfj;kf;sdkjfsdkdsk;jflk
he gives GREAT inspirational speeches tho
starsinger
hujks FUK
ShriekingSisterhood
BUT LIKE AT THE SAME TIME, HE CAN LIKE LIFT AN ENTIER POMMEL HORSE WITH ONE HAND
god
what if they don't even have a sports team
so theres no games to give relevant inspirational speeches at
so hes just like, doing them at random
when he sees an in
dataghost
just at the beginning of each class
or whenever The Mood Strikes
question: is class 1b at the same school or are they Rival Schools
ShriekingSisterhood
fuck,,, both are so good
dataghost
imagine Rival School Student Monoma sneaking into their school to ~infiltrate~
ShriekingSisterhood
i like rival schools
because monoma like, steals their mascot
and kendo brings it back
dragging him over to apologise
but also i love the idea of him trying to infiltrate his own fucking school
starsinger
the concept of 'rival schools but aslo they dont have sports teams' is SOOO good
mathletes competitions get REAL intense
ShriekingSisterhood
just because A1 got the better homeroom classroom
and he wants it
oh my god intense matheletes
starsinger
science olympiad. band and choir competions.
cassetticon
MARCHING BAND AU IM HERE
ShriekingSisterhood
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, LEE SUMMON
starsinger
ok whats the funniest sport to have if you can only have One Sport at ur school
ShriekingSisterhood
frisbee
starsinger
fall sport: ultimate frisbee
winter sport: fencing (? probably there is a funnier sport but ive got nostalgia)
spring sport: ultimate frisbee again
no
winter sport: ultimate frisbee... on ice
ShriekingSisterhood
fencing is too dignified is my concern
cassetticon
i love this concept
ShriekingSisterhood
YES
starsinger
eyah exactly spiff
ShriekingSisterhood
maybe winter sport was like curling
but no one liked it so they turned it into ice ultimate frisbee
starsinger
altho like. one time my friend spilled gatorade on the mesh of his mask and had to fence with gatorade on it and couldnt see shit
and won the bout
so
dignity is relativw
ShriekingSisterhood
wow, amazing,
OKAY BUT
TODOROKI KILLING IT AT ICE ULTIMATE FRISBEE
starsinger
HAHAHAHHAAHAHAGUHGHFDHJFD
cassetticon
WOW
starsinger
ok no
ShriekingSisterhood
BUT BEING LIKE MEDIOCRE IN THE FALL AND SPRING
starsinger
consider
ShriekingSisterhood
AND NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY
starsinger
todoroki.... being really disappointed
that curling isnt a thing anymore
ShriekingSisterhood
OH NO,,, HES BE SO GOOD AT IT....
his bitterness drives his ice frisbee prowess
starsinger
yeah not even using powers hes ujust like You Have To Understand The Ice
cassetticon
aw....
ShriekingSisterhood
the best thing about this is bakugo is so competitive that he'd join every sports even if it sucked just to win
starsinger
I Understand The Ice. and just not understanding why everone doesnt think curling is the best
ShriekingSisterhood
so bakugo is essentially Forced to play frisbee
cassetticon
yeah. god
ShriekingSisterhood
im crying.... ice understanding hand crusher
starsinger

dataghost
I feel like he's one of those like, celebrity heroes
cassetticon

ShriekingSisterhood
besides the overall distinctiveness
he just, could not shut up about it, on his public radio show so,
cassetticon
yeah exactly.
dataghost
EYAH
plus like. it only gets the show BETTER ratings so why hide it
ShriekingSisterhood
what if hes married to Aizawa but Aizawa made him choose between being maried to civilian guy Aizawa or Eraserhead
starsinger
what if hes a celebrity hero with a radio show. and then has a civilian identity as an english teacher
ShriekingSisterhood
bc Aizawa's identity is mega secret
dataghost
god aizawa would hate all the attention either way
ShriekingSisterhood
omg
dataghost
I feel like he doesn't even want eraserhead to be a super well known hero
cassetticon
i mean thats just real in canon
ShriekingSisterhood
Aizawa, sick of the attention, tells Mic to fake his death at the hands of like a villain
"it will be good for ur show ratings"
cassetticon
he canonically does hate publicity and does not want to be known by anyone
ShriekingSisterhood
"no one bothers the dead"
dataghost
omfg
ShriekingSisterhood
or maybe the relationship is still secret but they can't ever go out anywhere bc Mic gets so easilly recognized
dataghost
Mic has so much fun pretending to be dramatically mourning his dead civilian husband
ShriekingSisterhood
"PRO HERO CELEB PRESENT MIC, SPOTTED BUYING DINNER FOR LOCAL HOMELESS MAN, AMAZING GENEROSITY"
dataghost
egjbvjjgb kon k
starsinger
FGHDJAFJ AUSFJG NOOO
ShriekingSisterhood
Re: mic mourning his dead civilian husband
hes like,
"OH IF ONLY HE HAD BEEN A SUPER TOO"
"IF ONLY HE HAD THE POWER TO, SAY, ERASE OTHER PEOPLES POWERS, HE NEVER WOULD HAVE COME TO THIS SAD FATE"
dataghost
Aizawa is just glaring Murder at him
ShriekingSisterhood
"ALSO HERES THE NEW TOP HIT FROM POP GROUP "Q 5" ITS QUITE A BOP LISTENERS"
"ITS HELPING ME GET OVER MY DEPRESSION, FROM THE, EAD HUSBAND"
starsinger
god
ShriekingSisterhood
What if present mics so bad at acting that people think he murdered his fake dead husband
cassetticon
holy fuck
starsinger
now im like. ideeply want to see the many subplots that are jsut 'iida has to deal with the time conflict between mathletics and curling'
hfdjkf
ShriekingSisterhood
what if thru some hilarious misunderstanding all might applied to be the gym teacher but it turned out he was accidentally applying to be the masthletics coach
starsinger
its shenanigans because he tries to do both of them at the same time because hes like 'i have superspeed itll be fine' its Not Fine
IJADIJ;LDFSAJLKDFKJLFDJKL NOOOOOOOOO
ShriekingSisterhood
"I thought you meant you needed a Male Athletics Coach??? M Athletics"
dataghost
he doesnt know shit about math so his only coaching contribution is like Pep Talks
starsinger
yES
all might giving INSPIRING PEP TALKS
to the mathletes
ShriekingSisterhood
"GUYS, SOMETIMES THE SINE OF A NUMBER, IS THE FRIENDS YOU MADE ALONG THE WAY"
starsinger
which end up being coached by. iida
dataghost
beuatiufl...
iida ends up stepping up as like, Team Captain Who Actually Can THelp People Train Math
starsinger
momo is in charge of the science olympiad
and also the science bowl
ShriekingSisterhood
"REACH FOR THE LIMIT, WHICH THERE IS NONE, BUT I GUESS IN MATH SOMETIMES THERE IS, BUT OTHERWISE"
starsinger
the ONLY LIMIT... IS THE LOWER LIMIT!
dataghost
theres only 1 sport but there's Many different Nerd-Offs
starsinger
yea exactly
its really funny bc its the opposite of canon where everyone is jocks even if theyre nerds
ShriekingSisterhood
everyone is nerds even if theyre joks....
finally balance
starsinger
yea...
dataghost
kaminari tries to start some kind of Movie Club as an excuse to just slack off and watch movies during club time
but then the nerds invade it and it turns into a big Trivia Game thing and kaminari just puts his head in his hands
cassetticon
He Tried
starsinger
uhghfjfd
ShriekingSisterhood
the one jock-exclusive
starsinger
and kirishima i think
ShriekingSisterhood
yeah,,,, god kirishima
cursed boy
dataghost
pats him
starsinger
i love him so much'
ShriekingSisterhood
i love him also....
dataghost
remember how bakugou joined all the sports teams just bc he could. kirishima joins all the sports teams independently bc its manly
and then bakugou assumes he's like, trying to compete with him
ShriekingSisterhood
ooooh my god
starsinger
sdfghj
ShriekingSisterhood
real
starsinger
kirishima tries to bond w bakugou abt not being good at curling and bakuogu is like hOw Dare You
ShriekingSisterhood
THIS IS THE WORST NEG OF MY LIFE
starsinger
'man how is todoroki sO good at this i dont get it'
'DIE'
dataghost
god rip kirishima
Too Cursed To Live
ShriekingSisterhood
the best thing is that when bakugo is like "ill destroy you, ill punch ur face" kirishima is just like "fyes uck me UP bro"
he 100% knows what hes getting into
starsinger
i really like the idea of bakugou bein g like ill fuck you AND todoroki up. about curling
when he cant like
skate yet
ShriekingSisterhood
hsfhdjh
hes still holding on to the bar at the edge of the rink
starsinger
ok i just looked it up and curling does not actually use skates
but
ShriekingSisterhood
talking about how hes going to be indispuitable number one curler
starsinger
eyah
dataghost
while lying on his face having fallen down
starsinger
hey guys. guys. guys does a villain attack the ice rink
and somehow it means they have to cooperate and learn a leson about teamwork
and skating pysics
but it doesnt SUPER work but it works a little bit
dataghost
god they have to ~work together~ but also not let any of the others see their powers
starsinger
fcfuki tho they dont know its them so like king explodokill is like 'maybe now i have a mmodicum of respect. for red riot. maybe. a tiny bit' but is still like KIRISHIMA MADE FUN OF ME ABOUT SKATING THO AND I HATE IT
ohhhhh thast good also fdjfdjkdfjk
maybe they have to work together to get to the locker room but wont say why (its bc their costumes r there)
but then the final fight is as hero guys?
dataghost
oo that makes sense that's good
none of them even like, stops to think about the Coincidence chdmxm
except Maybe todoroki
and even he only does like way after the fact
starsinger
yae
fuck i just rmembered izukus hero name and am having a fucking freakout
dataghost
god!!!!!
bakugou is fucking. haunted by it
does he know izuku's secret id when he picks it or does he find out later
starsinger
?
dataghost
like . when izuku picks the name "deku" does bakugou know yet or no
i guess this question makes less sense in this au
cause like how could he be a hero if he doesnt have a hero name yet
starsinger
i think maybe its
izuku introduces himself as the hero deku for the first time and thats when bakugou realizes that that new hero whos been running around........ is . izuku
and obvsly Flips the Fuck Out
dataghost
ghhhhhgggghh
starsinger
i think. u kno the flash onto bakugou and urarakas faces
i think id want to keep that
but with the added 'oh shit thats izuku'
context from the au
dataghost
goddddd
for uraraka too?
like is she Also just finding out
starsinger
mmmmmmaybe
maybe not actually
yeah idk depends how deep the hijinx run lol. how long izuku was determined to Not Tell Anyone About Hero Shit
dataghost
feel like it could be A Long While cause he'd feel like he'd have to be secretive For All Might
starsinger
yeahhh exactly...
altho if superheroes are a big thing but secret identities are a bigger thing it might be Less secretive
bc like. theres no inherent connection between 'a new superhero appears' and 'all might'
dataghost
but I feel like izuku would be nervous anyway
starsinger
yeah for sure
dataghost
and he's v strategic & thoughtful so I feel like he'd Understand The Importance Of Secret Identity and be like "no one ever!!!!"
starsinger
yeahh That rings true for me ithink
i was just like 'if 'quirkless izuku' and 'hero deku' arent inherently connected bc Every Civilian Secret Identity Is Quirkless then its not as big a deal
dataghost
yeah also fair
so are quirks way rarer in this au?
starsinger
but ur right that all might def has the No One Can Know Im Human thing
and izuku would also probably
i dont know if quirks are Rarer or if theyre just hilariously secret even tho literally most of the population has one
and many of them are very visible
dataghost
what if like. quirklessness is rare but everyone's civilian id is still quirkless
and everyone just. d oesnt notice
starsinger
tsuyu: yeah im quirkless. kero.
dataghost
also like. Basically everyone who's quirkless is actually a hero in disguise
but no one puts the dots together
starsinger
just had the thought 'i really like bnha superhero au' and fuckgin died

Inko as All For One's daughter headcanons (Toshinko Headcanons)
I've imagined a full Inko is All For One's daughter AU and Toshinori and Inko have an enemies to lovers dynamic, in which Inko is a morally grey vigilante. Here we go.
Inko goes by the villain name Taker and wears a mask and hood, with a voice mod. She poses as a guy to get people off her trail.
Nana is still dead and Toshinori is in America with David.
Toshinori and Inko first meet when they bump into each other in a crowded area and Inko practically trips over him, grabbing Toshi's necklace before Toshi apologizes to her and rushes off. But his necklace is left on the ground with Inko, she grabs it and tries to reach him. She ends up following him to a university where David and Toshi were going to meet, and she hands the necklace back to him. Toshi thanks her profusely as he tells her that the locket specifically had sentimental value to him. It was in memory of someone else. They part ways after a conversation.
She and Toshi are both in America when they first meet. And they go through several arcs of story, including but not limited to, an incident where Inko saves David, Inko (as Taker) and Toshi are both taking down the same evil organization and they dont realize it, Toshi tries to chase Taker. Toshi is perplexed by the villain who also has multiple quirks. He loathes Taker but Taker ends up doing something good and it confuses him. Up till now, Toshi though that Taker was just some link to All For One that he needed to shake off. But as events unfold, he sees more sides of Taker.
(Toshi and Inko bump into each other in civilian form a few times. It's cute. But they both know they live different lives to pursue anything)
Inko tries to hate All Might. She knows she's supposed to. They can never be allies. All Might would never trust her. She becomes Taker, and AFO allows this because going to America will make her stronger. It would also quell the villain competition that is trying to rise up in America. But Inko was always remiss about being in her father's shadow. Being daddy's little girl was a means to an end, her true purpose was to rule by his side. AFO is so desperately alone, he created a daughter for himself. But Inko grew dissatisfied with herself. She didnt like being a monster, not that she could ever stop. She knew the lives she had taken could never be replaced. She does what she can to mitigate it. Its inevitable for her to take, to get stronger with her quirks. Shes pragmatic. She wants her own path.
It leads into their fight, where after bringing down The Ten Commmandments, the organization they were both after. Toshi fights her and their clash is pretty even. Toshi is still only 45% with OFA training. Toshi manages to hit her head and break the mask. Where Toshi sees her face, and realizes it's the girl he met from before. That cute girl who gave him back the locket of the picture with Nana and him. It's the girl who laughed at his stupid joke, and thought he was genuinely funny. It's the girl he had pining over and tried to forget. And Inko realizes the guy she liked had been the enemy that was hunting her down.
They yell. Accusations fly. They don't trust each other.
It isnt pleasant the next they find each other, as Taker and All Might are both looking into finding the rest of remnants of the Commandments while Inko is scouting for more quirks he could use.
They hate each other. They find each other repulsive. But the good moments always come up. All Might was kind. He was a hero who inspired hope. Taker saved people. Her targets were usually always criminals. Inko saved David. They fought reluctantly, side by side. They know each other, but they're destined to clash. He's One For All's eighth wielder. She's All For One's successor. They simply arent meant to be, even if they have feelings for each other. That relationship is impossible. Besides, theres the overwhelming problem about All For One and that he will literally kill both of them if they tried going against him now.
David can tell. Toshi is conflicted about Taker. About Inko. They learned her identity when she told them. Toshi asks if she even cares. That she chooses to be a monster because being that becomes easier than actually facing her father. He calls her a coward. She agrees. You dont live with All For One and have wants. You survive. That's all you can do against him. Inko tells him that Toshinori should know that better than anyone. Nana Shimura did die against him. Toshi doesnt say anything.
They eventually give into pining throughout the years, because David forces them to talk it out, and they finally come together.
After All Might masters using One For All at 100%, he and Inko go back to face All For One.
During All Might and Taker vs. All For One, a conversation between Inko and her dad:
AFO: My dear daughter, I indulged your rebellious phase, but was it necessary for you to pursue a dalliance with my sworn enemy?
Inko: You should give me some credit, father. Most girls go for the bad guys. I went for a good guy.
AFO: You went for a boy you knew I would disapprove of. It cancels out.
They beat AFO together by tag teaming him. Taker steals All For One's quirks and then she and All Might killed All For One together.
Later in life, Toshnori and Inko have Izuku. (Toshinori and Inko are both Izuku's biological parents.)
(Please be nice)

american dragon mha crossover
its a bit messy since i had to transfer it from discord but i hope its legible
ok so in this au hisashi was the japanese dragon and had married non magical inko hisashi was related to jake but i cant remember how exactly, he was either his uncle or his mothers cousin. but this means that izuku grew up close to the magical community of the world and has the very heavy legacies of 3 family members to live up to except he cant, not in the way expected of him izuku's dragon form skipped his generation he cant shift or do most anything magical but no one in the family really realizes this until much later in his life while quirks manifest at age 4, dragon powers tend to show up from ages 8-11 (if i remember properly) so when izuku doesnt get a quirk everyone in his family takes it as a sign to start training him to take his fathers place as the japanese dragon izuku is pretty much devastated when his dragon form never comes to him its a let down in two major ways 1) he will never be able to fly with his family and be truly apart of the magical community 2) japan will be without a magical protector for much longer than it should have been u see, hisashi died a long time ago when izuku was maybe,,,, 5-6 hisashi was looking into a threat against reptilian quirk users (this tends to be code for dragons in the quirk society) but due to the secrecy behind the magical community, he wasn’t given some important details regarding the case from the non magical heroes they didn’t give him some information that seemed pointless to them, but utterly crucial to a person who knew what to look for because of this, hisashi was taken by surprise and was killed by the huntsclan back on the tangent regarding izuku’s powers from a familial stand point he’s pretty heartbroken, almost all of his family has the capability to shift and his cousins (while kind of sympathetic) don’t really understand him anymore they had taken him flying when he was a kid to give him a taste of what they believed he would be able to do every day as he got older, they were a bit more wary with him izuku was treated as a more breakable and a bit inferior not on purpose, but all of his cousins are older than him. they had already babied him before, but this was on a different level (izuku hated the way they treated him he was capable! he was trained to be the next magical protector of japan for christ’s sake! just because they gave up hope on his powers manifesting didn’t mean that he had! (he couldnt give up that wasn’t an option. he needed to be a hero HeNeededToBeAHeroNoMatterWhat) so as izuku grew he kept his eyes up towards the sky and dreamed. no matter how concerned his family grew about his aspiration to be a hero)
when middle school comes around, izuku hasn't stopped wanting to be a hero but hes almost completely given up on his powers manifesting (which hurts in so many ways because izuku never stopped feeling trapped in his Too Small body and stuck on the ground to never greet the Sky) so izuku plans to be the first quirkless hero which everyone hes ever met and their mother disagrees with (humans are oh so fragile to magical beings) but nonetheless izuku is going to get into ua if it kills him cue the sludge villain and izuku’s Question to all might ofc all might says no bc why change this angsty moment (though all might does note that izuku looks very familiar) as izuku makes his way on home he ponders over his place in a world where he’s an outcast in every way that means anything to him what is he supposed to do now? every draconic instinct that he has is invalidated by others simply due to the body he possesses. his dreams of heroics tossed out despite his training. izuku shakes his head, what in the world is he going to do now that- he looks up and meets katsuki's eyes. izuku feels something snap (even if he doesnt have the ability to shift, izuku is still a dragon, and dragons are protective of what’s theirs) despite what that last bit teases, izuku doesn’t shift completely then he gets a small boost from his dragon side its from a shift in his eyes. he was only able to notice the world grow sharper around him, which he writes off as adrenaline no one else really notices his eyes. except katsuki who doesn’t even really talk to him so obviously wouldn’t tell izuku it just makes him less surprised to see that izuku manifested a quirk but still, izuku is offered ofa and canon proceeds as usual, if a bit skewed since u know,,,, hes from a family of dragon heroes i didnt want to deal with the dark dragon in this that much bc i didnt really care abt him all that much as a kid (i did like certain plot points but its been a bit since ive rewatched the show so i dont think im the best person to talk to abt this guy) i loved the nonmagical world and magical beings interacting so there would’ve been a lot of that in this the dark dragon was defeated a long time ago in izuku’s perspective (oh my god i forgot to talk abt the longs didn’t i) jake in this au is in his early 20s, and an accomplished american hero (who may or may not have had plans to visit ua after izuku partially shifts at the sports festival) haley is around the same age as izuku, if a bit older than him they got along well as kids but haley had been a bit of a brat regarding her prodigious use of her powers and her manifesting b4 him was kind of a sore point jake is a nice (if a bit obnoxious) cousin to izuku they get along well due to the expectations they both carry and the powers that they didn’t have any mastery over (at the time) but izuku was a bit bitter abt him bc jake had everything right there why didn’t he just take it (izukus dragon insticts make him a bit,,, unhinged ngl) he still loves his family tho thats all i have at the moment,,,
i hope whoever sees this enjoys this mess lol

oohohoho you just opened the deepest can of worms on the planet
-mod dave, who wrote a fucking ten mile essay
first off, addressing the second anon, no theyre all humans. h., half humans at least. cause yall know me i fucking love my humanstuck aus off my ASS
(that would be funny as hell though. a troll from space walking into a camp on earth going “I AM THE SON OF ONE OF YOUR EARTH GODS. BITCH” like... holy shit)
so first things first their parents. im gonna lay this out, the beta kids and trolls are all greek (EXCEPT sollux hes roman cause his parent has no greek equivalent), and all the alpha kids and trolls are those gods roman equivalents (,,EXCEPT dirk cause he kinda balances sollux being roman out). i havent figured out how thatd happen like 16+ times yet cause in the percy jackson books theres only ever been one instance of two siblings of the same godly descent being greek and roman respectively in HISTORY so like.. i guess th. i guess thats just not a problem in this au
anyway this gets really long so im gonna talk about the beta kids and trolls cause i havent elaborated on the alphas at all ((peep the tags if you wanna see their parents though))
johns the son of zeus, rose is the daughter of athena, dave is the son of apollo, and jade is the daughter of demeter. they were all raised in their respective states, all had to come to new york for various reasons. jades been there the longest, shes been there 9 years and shes been on a couple quests. her biggest accomplishment so far is how she protected the camp from this big vicious angry hellhound that got past the barrier. naturally the girls fluent in Dog Training, so she steps up and instead of trying to kill this thing, she reaches out and tames it as fast as she can. it ends up actually working, and ever since that day she, her cabin, and the camp have a whole bodyguard sleeping right outside the demeter cabin! hes her steed in battle and hes a Very Good Boy. and his name is becquerel
johns the newest kid at camp, he has no idea who he is or why the fuck his school got attacked or why in the hell those anemoi thuellai were so fixated on him or HOW in the hell he absorbed the lightning one threw at him and ended up fine,,, hes just a big mess right now. a big enough mess that when he got claimed by literally zeus, no one else was around, he shrugged it off as some basic magical happening, and he stayed in the hermes cabin far longer than he should have cause no one! fucking knew he got claimed! by zeus of all people! dumbass. he ends up figuring it out though. like an off-hand mention about how this “weird lightning thing appeared above my head a couple weeks ago, haha weird right?” once he figures it out he realizes “hey i might be able to fly” so he sneaks off into the woods to try it. he succeeds fairly quickly but god almighty everyones face the one day the dude just yote himself off a small cliff without warning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
dave and rose are really tight, theyve been there roughly the same time length, and since their cabins are across from each other they just bother each other all the time. daves the resident Doctor even though he really doesnt look it cause hes got the apollo powers. apollo is the medicine god. so if you wound your stupid ass in battle daves in the ER room patching you up with his glowy hands. rose on the other hand is a very good strategist. shes one of the only athena kids ever recorded to actually have a power - telekinesis. she has no idea how she developed it, she thinks its from birth, but it freaks her out. shes training it though.
so the beta trolls, are also all human(ish). aradias hades kid. but i pulled a pjo trope on her based on one of my favorite characters (im not saying for spoilers, but if you recognize the situation, You Probably Know Who Its Based Off) and aradia died. her mom, the handmaid, had been pulling some Shady Ass Shit and ended up getting herself killed, but aradia tried saving her and ended up going down with her.
so handmaid gets sentenced to the fields of punishment in the underworld, and aradia gets sentenced to elysium, heroes paradise. shes like “no i want my mom to be okay” so they take that away from aradia and they put them both in the fields of asphodel, the neverending grey space for Not So Good But Not So Bad people. her mom becomes a shade (shadow spirit, no human resemblance), as all people do, but aradia. doesnt? and she gets dunked in the fucking river lethe and if you dont know what that does it erases your memory. so she just. comes out of the river like “hello? wgat tae fukc goin on??” but she still remembers one thing. there was an “a” in her name.
tavros is the son of hermes, hes just kinda taken on the role of backup counselor for when the actual cabin counselor is out. hes in a wheelchair, but he also has prosthetic legs for when he needs to actually stand up and fight. hes really good at it too. also catch him in winged converse cause he Owns Those and Uses Them To His Advantage. hes trying his best to keep focused on the camp, cause aradia was his childhood friend, he misses her a whole lot, she never got to camp in the first place. and to his knowledge, shes still dead.
sollux is a janus kid. thats a problem cause janus is roman, and this is a greek camp. he grew up with dave, he showed up with dave, hes been at camp as long as dave. but hes been unclaimed since he showed up so he thinks hes unwanted by whatever parent he has. he knows hes a demigod, he got through the camp barriers, so what the fuck is wrong with him? he also feels shitty cause hes shit at the greek lessons, he cant read a lick of it which literally every demigod without exception should be able to do, he cant name any gods- well, he can, but.. he gets their names mixed up. why does he keep calling poseidon “neptune”? and he has a much, much different way of natural fighting than other kids. they slice, he jabs. he wasnt taught to jab.
karkat is an aphrodite kid with vitiligo, and to make matters worse, hes ace and on the aro spectrum. to make matters WORSE, the aphrodite kids are kinda notorious for being really shallow, really materialistic, and really mean. karkats been dubbed the “runt” of the cabin, he gets made fun of for his spots to the point where he uses make up and magic to conceal them. worst of all? hes the kid of the goddess of love, for fucks sake. being reminded that “loveless people shouldnt be able to stay in this cabin, mom must have made a mistake claiming you” is kind of.. a blow to the self esteem. long story short he hates aphrodite for claiming him, and would have rather stayed in the hermes cabin. but he eventually goes on this big quest thats vague as fuck right now but Its The Main Plot, he ends up proving to himself that hes worth something and that his siblings are wrong, and my FAVORITE LINE IN THE WHOLE THING i came up with is HIS when he deals a final blow to some big monster: “REMEMBER MY FACE THE NEXT TIME YOU REINCARNATE. MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS, I’M THE SON OF APHRODITE, AND LOOKS CAN KILL.”
nepeta isnt anywhere near developed as others are unfortunately, shes a daughter of ares and shes really really good at hand to hand combat. shes small but she leads groups of people in things ranging from camp volleyball games to actual literal wars. shes a tough little shit
kanaya isnt really developed either, i have yet to figure out most of her powers too actually, shes a daughter of iris, the rainbow goddess though. (blatant reference to both kanayas vampirism and. h. her. sh. es ga. gay) ONE THING SHE CAN DO THOUGH is iris message at will without water or drachmas so really shes just everyones go to cell phone and its fucking hilarious cause people just come into the cabin like “KANAYA I NEED TO TALK TO [X]” and shes like “You Better Fucking Pay Me I Am Not Your Personal Cell Phone”
terezi is the daughter of nemesis and she has this really peculiar power she hasnt really gotten the hang of yet. she has synesthesia, so while she cant see she can smell and taste the colors of her surroundings and its really helpful. sometimes though she gets messages from her mom. they dont even come as dreams half the time, they come as almost a different plane altogether. tez has the power to literally tip the scales, pretty much. and when she gets like that, she can see. shes not on earth though, shit on earth stops when shes like that. shes just kinda In Her Own Head, i guess? and in her head she holds the two scales in her hands. she is the arms of the scale. and depending on which one she lifts up, she can literally alter the fate of the battle or happening thats going on By Herself. once she chooses she just whooshes back to real life though and nothing has changed. the only downside? it takes a LOT of energy and cant be exploited for little things. her one thing on her bucket list is to tap into said powers while getting something from a vending machine so like three things will fall out but it hasnt happened yet and shes upset
vriskas a daughter of tyche, the luck goddess, come the fuck on you knew i was gonna, i havent really elaborated on her either and im upset about that. but hey now you get a break from all those fucking paragraphs
equius is a hephaestus kid, and he kinda stays in the background. hes a range fighter, he spends a lot of time in the forge, and even though its been a project looooong since forgotten, hes been excavating the tunnels under cabin nine for years. by himself. he has no idea where they lead, but dammit hes gonna find out where. he has no idea about a certain bunker in the woods though...

more diamond au i suppose
the continuation that literally no one asked for
music!! adrien still plays piano, but in this, mari plays viola and accompanies him sometimes!! adrien got tired of how limited viola pieces are, so he started to compose his own under tikki’s tutelage (creation and all). mari is flattered but she’s fine playing second fiddle (viola), really! adrien keeps writing music because it’s fun and because he loves the way mari’s eyes light up when she sees a new piece
sorry to have her play viola but im Projecting. its basically used as percussion in most songs, playing a steady beat that some find boring but all other sections would lose their tempo without. i feel like mari, who in the show tends to feel useless unless she is Actively Helping, would enjoy a part that’s so (pardon the pun) instrumental.
with tikki, adrien is a lot less *spontaneously* rebellious and a lot more *planned out* rebellious. tikki helps him plan how to get out from under his father’s thumb without accidentally landing himself further under it. because of her help, he’s able to hang out with friends a lot more!!
mari and adrien are both better friends with the class in diamond. mari makes an effort to include people in projects she thinks they’d like, and helps them with theirs in return, but they also hang out to just goof around and watch movies or play video games! adrien is easy to be friends with, but he takes more responsibility for himself and others and, on top of that, is simply around more for them to be friends with!
he ends up modeling for marinette a lot. like, a lot. to the point where adrien’s fanclub finds the MDC website that max helped her with and sees all the pictures of adrien and she’s sold out of commission slots in minutes. she becomes very popular after that and wins herself an internship at gabriel!
about the website- since people like heping mari with projects (she gives them free food and thanks them profusely for helping, and. well. no one in class can withstand the might of the dupain-cheng puppydog eyes) they are super willing to help her with modeling for and matinence of the site! max showed her how he set it up so she could fix it herself if she had to! in return she made markov a sweater. it’s adorable.
adrien, through tikki’s courage, is standing up to his father more. he’s no longer modeling as much for gabriel, he has more free time, and he gets to play music he wants to play, not just music gabey wants him to play. it’s... nice. he smiles more genuinely and laughs more sincerely and hes just! happier and more real.
copycat doesnt happen the same but it kinda does. im going the @zoe-oneesama route of having theo be in their school so its not super creepy for him to crush on minuit but dang is our boy crushing. however, red light has no reason to be jealous, so instead he explains that he and mini are too professional to entertain civilian crushes, causing theo to become stoplight, a ““hero”” that mini would then be allowed to date by hero law, especially since they’re already partners. mini is Conflicted because her cute spotti boy is flirting?? with her??? but then she gets a call from red while stoplight is still in front of her and shes like “oh fuck akuma” and wins the fight. it was weird for her to be punching her partner in the face, but she won anyways lol
every episode where alya makes a convoluted plan to get mari and adrien together still happens but her coconspiritor is adrien now. she knows mari has a Secret, Unattainable Crush but thats all she knows. she thinks its adrien though because mari is modest and modelboy adrien seems out of her league.
mari accidentally derails every plan just by her pure chaos energy. they were setting up cherry blossoms to rain down over mari while she sketched & adrien would come over to ask her out but she saw them sitting in the tree with the bin of blossoms and asked them for opinions on what she was designing. alix was gonna zoom by and make mari fall so adrien could catch her romantically and ask her out but when she fell she did a front handspring and landed perfectly. adrien is even more smitten.
in animan its basically the same thing? but with no secret alya, shes just not there. mari came because she loves hanging out with her friends and nino has a huge crush on her which. adrien is sad but he wants mari to be happy even if its not with him so he was invited but IS hiding in the bushes helping nino instead of being there. but then mari ends up setting up alya and nino and adrien is like “hope replenished yall”
animaestro doesnt exist. it just doesnt. that guy can suck it.
frozer happened because he was trying to ask her out and he panicked and asked her advice on asking out Unnamed Girl and she assumed kagami because theyre friends in this. adrien was too awkward to say no. mari sets up a date for them (milkshakes & skating) but they both separately ask her to come for different reasons. adrien just wants her there because hes crushing hard but kagami is nervous about her first date ever and she wants to get it right, so she asks mari to please be there. mari shows up with luka. this episode makes it clear that kagami and adriens intentions in asking mari along were not all that different actually maybe
thats it for now make sure to like and subscribe if you lik- *i am killed by an internet hitman for cringe on side*

even in the dark I see your lights somehow
WHAT UP BITCHES this is some really pointless angst. will my plot (term used very loosely for this drabble) be deemed incorrect when a4 comes out? ya forsure. do i care? no.
AU in which the reader survives Thanos ~snap~ and Peter doesnt (aka 2 years later, Peter comes back, angsty reunions)
word count: 3.7k
Two years ago, Thanos snapped his fingers and ended the world.
Or, technically, killed half of it.
10 months ago, the remaining Avengers dragged themselves back together at the arrival of Tony Stark and Captain Marvel.
6 months ago the world found a new normal. With half the world gone, most businesses, government offices, and schools closed. The few that were left were sparsely populated, but functioning. Everything was consolidated. The orphanages were stocked full of homeless children in the beginning, but luckily, parents who lost their own children by Thanos’ hand had taken to them, and families grew by double every day. People stepped up because they had no choice, and it had worked. Things weren’t the same, and they never would be. But you were alive, you were going to college in the fall, you had a place to stay.
It was bad for a long time. No one really knew what had happened at first, even after Steve Rogers face was broadcast on every TV and he explained that half the world-half the universe-was dead.
When Tony Stark made it back to Earth, though he was only here for a few days at most before joining the rest of his team in search of Thanos, he came right to May’s door. He found you and May in the wreckage of her apartment building and had Happy set you up in a small house outside of the city. Close to Avengers headquarters. To keep an eye on you, he’d said. To alleviate some of his guilt, you knew.
You tucked the phone between your shoulder and ear, shouldering the door open and carefully setting the box down on the table. It was labeled Stark Industries, as were most of the packages you found on you and May’s doorstep were these days.
“Pretty sure Tony sent us something else,” you said into the phone, inspecting the box.
You could practically hear May rolling her eyes.
“Seriously? What is it this time?”
“Not sure. Let you know when I find out.”
“Hopefully it's a new microwave,” She said. You laughed; the microwave had ended up on fire a few nights before in one of May’s attempts to make mug cookies. She had an oven, and you’d been wondering aloud why she wouldn't just make real cookies when you heard the sparks and the microwave started to smoke.
All of Tony’s gifts, sent through Happy, inevitably, were thinly veiled excuses to try and make up for what happened on Titan. Tony Stark blamed himself for the whole thing, but mostly Peter’s death/disintegration/whatever people were calling it those days. You still don’t know exactly what went down on that planet, but you know enough. You know enough to know it wasn’t Tony’s fault. And though you didn’t share the sentiment, you know it made him feel just a little bit better to take care of Peter’s aunt and his…you.
Hence, the tech and appliances and other things that are supposed to make your lives easier. But really, the only thing that would make your lives easier would be Peter, and that wasn’t something Tony could buy.
“Cross your fingers,” you said. You pulled a knife out of the block on the counter and popped the box open. Prying it open, your gaze landed on a swatch of red and blue fabric. Your hand stilled and the knife clattered onto the table.
“I’ll call you back, May. Am I cooking tonight?” You said, hoping your voice came out even.
May laughed on the other end, luckily not picking up on your tone.
“Funny. I’ll get takeout on my way.” She hung up, and you let out a shaky breath.
You stepped back from the box so you couldn’t see the contents.
Peter’s suit. Not the Iron Spider Tony had created for him: that suit died with him. But the first real suit he had. When he moved away from bright blue sweatpants and a hoodie to the smooth patterned material that solidified his status as a hero. The suit he’d been wearing when you found him, bloody and near death on your balcony.
“No-no-hospital,” the boy pleaded. His words were slurred through the mask, and though you tried to pull it over his face, he refused to let go.
“Whoever you are, I swear, I won't tell. If you bleed out on this fire escape, I’ll figure it out anyways. Now let go,” you said, not an inch of room for him to argue. The boy let out a sigh and leaned back against the brick, peeling the mask off.
Peter Parker.
You took a breath. Went back to the table. Carefully pulled the material out of the box.
Beneath it was a note.
It belongs to the people who loved him the most. - T
You closed your eyes and brought the fabric up to your nose, inhaling. It smelled a little bit like smoke, a little bit like sweat, a lot like Peter. So much like Peter you nearly doubled over at the pang of longing that shot through you. The scent brought on an array of memories, all painful and all full of Peter.
You were starting to understand that you would never get over Peter Parker. You’d never get closure, you’d never get to say goodbye. The same could be said for every single person that had disintegrated, for every single person you’d lost when Thanos snapped his fingers, but something about Peter kept the wound of losing him open and raw. It was like having a cold; you could breathe well enough, but you felt it with every inhale.
-
We’ve got him.
That was all the text said when it woke you at midnight. It was the one you’d been waiting for since Tony made it back to earth and promised that Peter would, they all would, too. You didn’t believe him then, and you still didn’t, not as you ran out to your car, not as you drove the short distance to headquarters, not even as you sprinted up the stairs leading to the top floor of the building.
You’d only been three times since Thanos, after Tony came back and reached out to May and you. But then, it was only to get some things of Peter’s Tony had that May wouldn’t come to get, as she hadn’t spoken a word to Tony since the minute he told her what happened.
“We have an elevator, you know,” Tony said as you pushed through the doors and into the room. You knew then that it had worked; avengers who’d been missing for two years, sitting around the room. All exhausted, some in varying states of injury, being tended to. But no Peter.
“Too slow. Where is he?”
As if on cue, a door across the room swung open and Peter stepped out, digging his hands into the pockets of a black hoodie that was a few sizes too big. You were struck with how young he looked; somehow, you’d forgotten that while time had passed for you, it hadn’t for him, or any of them. They’d ceased to exist, and when Thanos had been sacrificed, it was like a trading of souls, Thanos and all the lives he’d taken for the ones lost on earth. At least, that was how Tony had explained it. The SparkNotes version.
Your breath caught. He met your gaze, and for a moment, just a moment, he didn’t recognize you. You had gotten older, after all. Changed your hair. Lost everyone you’d ever loved. Little things like that.
And even though you’d spent two years imaging this moment, dreaming of it, practically tasting it, now that he was here, in front of you, it was wrong. You were wrong.
You backed up, scrabbling for the door handle behind you. You just had to get out.
“I-I have to go,” you said, before turning and slipping out and into the hall. Then you were running, heading for the staircase you’d come up. The door slammed behind you and Peter called your name. Something snapped around your wrist, tugging you back. Two years ago, it might have made you laugh. Now, the minute Peter caught you by the shoulders you yanked the web off your wrist and jerked away, stumbling. You caught your balance on the wall, meeting Peter’s gaze.
The hurt on his face was impossible to miss. Shame coiled in your stomach, hot and sharp.
“What’s going on? Are you alright? Your hair-“
“I’ll explain later. We should get home, Peter. May’s waiting,” you interrupted. You’d called her frantically on the drive, telling her to come home the second her night shift ended. If you were lucky, she’d be waiting, and you could put off this conversation for a little while longer. Even better, May could give him the bad news: he’d missed two years, and he wouldn’t get them back.
The words caught his attention and pulled it away from the very subject you wanted to avoid.
“May? God, she’s going to kill me. I didn’t even tell her I was leaving. I don’t even know how long I was gone.”
“You didn’t tell anyone,” you said darkly, turning and walking away to avoid seeing your words hit him.
“I didn’t have a choice. I had to go after Thanos-“ he caught up to you as you reached the bottom of the staircase and pushed out the doors into the darkness.
“You didn’t have to do anything.”
He touched your arm and you looked at him instinctively, before you could stop yourself. God, he looked young.
“What are saying? Of course, I did.”
Nights spent curled in May’s arms, tears staining your cheeks, flickered behind your eyes. You wondered if they’d have happened if Peter hadn’t climbed out the window of that bus, all that time ago.
You kept walking. Peter jogged to catch up. When you got to the car, Peter almost walked right past it. It wasn’t the one you’d had back then. So many things were different; maybe too many.
“When did you get a new car?”
“It’s from Happy. Shittiest model we could convince them to give us,” you said. He tried to ask questions all the way back to the city. But each time you told him later, or I don’t know, or could you please be quiet my head hurts, which all really meant, please stop talking or ill cry. And he saw through it, because he was Peter, but he didn’t push it, also because he was Peter. He’d been through a lot in the last day. No one had had the time to sit down and explain all this to him. To any of the returned Avengers. The world was too busy scrambling around the reappearance of 3.5 billion people.
And when you got back to the apartment, you were able to slip off as he and May reunited. You went out under the guise of running errands and stayed out well past dark, well past the time May texted to tell you goodnight, your cue to come back. By the time you reached the apartment, both their doors were shut, and you dropped onto the couch, drifting off to the sounds of the city out the window.
-
The nightmare ripped you from sleep and you jerked to a sitting position, gasping for air. The apartment was dark around you, thick and heavy with the night. A glance at your phone told you it was nearly 4 AM.
Your gaze strayed to Peter’s closed door. You’d overtaken the room a long time ago when you’d unofficially moved in, but had quickly cleared your things away while May and Peter reunited before escaping the apartment.
Before you could talk yourself out of it, you pulled the blanket off your legs and climbed to your feet. You made your way to Peter’s door, stopping in front of it. You took a breath before turning the knob. You stepped into the moonlit room-Peter’s window was wide open-and your gaze landed on the sleeping boy in the bed. His eyes snapped open when you pushed the door shut. He sat up and you stopped, like a deer in headlights.
He looked the same as the day you’d lost him. He’d just turned 18 when Thanos came to Earth; he hadn’t even gotten to graduate. Not that you technically had, either. School didn’t come back into session in New York City until 5 months ago, when you’d gone back to a school with a quarter of the people and walked the halls of a ghost town for three months. There had been no ceremony; there were too few names and too few parents. You’d been given a diploma.
The few colleges that remained open had open enrollment so you’d signed up for classes beginning in November.
You just turned 20. The few months you had on Peter turned into years. Years. Two of them. Spent mourning with May; mourning your family, most of your friends, and of course, Peter. Always Peter.
It was almost worse, the disappearing. With your family, dying in the initial attack on the city, there was nothing to hope for. But the people that disappeared left ashes behind, and with them, hope that no one could manage to sweep off the streets.
Somehow, he was still your Peter. Hair mussed up and a bit too long, lips pulled into an ever-present line, heart pulsing on his sleeve. The one you saw in your dreams, the one that hadn’t been broken or lost. It didn’t seem possible that he was standing there, whole.
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah. I just wanted-I was checking.” Checking to see if you’re still there. He scanned your face, still a little drowsy with sleep.
“You’re older.” He said, something incredibly sad bleeding into his voice.
Your brows pulled together, heart twinging.
“Two years will do that,” you said. The reality was, it took time for the surviving Avengers to scrabble some semblance of a team together. It took time to figure out how to bring everyone back and maintain the timeline and kill Thanos all at once.
You wished you could say it had been minutes or hours or days. You wished you could say it had been quick and painless.
But it hadn’t been. Peter’s disappearance had ripped you to pieces. Your family’s deaths had ripped you to pieces. You’d mourned them and missed them and moved on, and your family would never be coming back, but Peter was here, and you didn’t know what to do with that or how to feel about it. You wanted to close the distance between you and climb into bed and wrap him in your arms and hold him to make up for two years of hurting.
But you didn’t know if you still had the right to. Though no time had passed for Peter, time had passed for you. You were different. Would Peter want the You you were now?
“I’m not the same. It was bad for a while. I had to be a bad person. I might still be a bad person,” you said.
Peter shook his head.
“That’s not true.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I know you.”
“Peter.”
“You found a bleeding vigilante on your balcony, stitched me up, and didn’t ask any questions. You saved my life. A good person wouldn’t do that. Nothing that happened in the last two years changes that.”
“You don’t understand.”
“Then make me understand.”
You let out a breath, pinching the bridge of your nose. Pressure was building behind your skull, pounding its fists and making your headache. You couldn’t explain the time he’d missed.
You reached back for the doorknob, a beat away from turning to leave when Peter said, “Wait.” It came out a little frantic, a little panicked. You clenched your teeth.
“This was a bad idea. I’m sorry.” You said.
“Wait,” he said again. You blinked and he was off the bed, another blink and he was in front of you.
“Did I do something? Because I’m sorry if-“
“What?”
“I said, I’m sorry if-”
“You didn’t do anything. This-none of this is your fault.”
Peter looked miserable, shaking his head.
“Just talk to me. Please,” he said quietly.
Your lips parted. A flood was swelling behind your teeth, and you knew you should just let it out, tell him why you’d been pushing him away, why you were the way you were now.
“Do you remember when I used to sneak up the fire escape? And sneak out before May woke up?” You asked softly. Peter’s lips pulled thin, something sad in his eyes.
He didn’t deserve all this. He didn’t deserve the wall you’d put up against him. For him, the time had passed in a blink. But there were so many skeletons in your closet, pushing their fingers through the cracks. Peter had been through enough. And maybe you were too broken now.
“Of course. You had to hide under the bed one time,” he said. You resisted the urge to smile. Memory lane was not the road you should be taking.
“She always knew. But she let me keep doing it because she knew we weren’t doing anything. She didn’t know that I was usually tending your wounds.”
“We were spooning at most.”
You laughed, and it unlocked something in your chest.
“I used to spend hours watching videos and looking at pictures. It was all I had left of anyone. It was all I had left of you,” you said.
“I didn’t even know May was alive. I came-I came to your apartment because I was alone and hungry and I knew May had that disposable camera with the pictures from Prom and I just-“ you slammed to a stop, shutting your mouth.
“You were gone a long time. Everyone-everyone was gone. My parents were dead. I was on my own for months. The things I did to survive-“
You clamped your mouth shut. Peter frowned, waiting for you to finish.
“I’m not the person I was. The person you knew. The person you lo-“ you stopped before the word loved slipped out. You hadn’t used it in a long time.
“I know who you are. Okay? I’ve always known,” Peter said. You bit your lip. You wanted to argue with him, to tell him about the people you’d let starve so you could eat, the things you stole from people who surely died after. But you didn’t want him to look at you the way he would inevitably look at you. You wanted more time.
He was standing there, exactly the same as the day you lost him. But you’d watched your bridges burn and then you burned what was left, because you had to, because that was what became of the world.
It wasn’t fair to him. It wasn’t fair to you. None of this was fair to anyone.
“You look different. So does May. There’s this gap of time that I can’t see or fill or fix,“ his brows furrow, confusion dotting his features.
“I’m so sorry for leaving you. I’m sorry for everything that happened and everything you had to do because I was gone.”
Your heart broke in half.
“You wouldn’t be you if you hadn’t gone,” you said, softening.
You stepped closer, reaching up to cup his face with a hand. He leaned into your touch with a sad, boyish smile that made your chest ache.
You let your hand drop to the place where the fabric of his shirt fell down over his collarbone, fingers brushing against his skin. He stilled beneath your touch.
You let out the breath you’d been holding since the day Thanos snapped his finger.
Peter placed his hand on top of yours, gripping your fingers with fierce intensity. It was like he could feel the last two years on your skin. He could feel the nights you’d woken screaming his name, May running to console you, holding your shaking body still, telling you over and over that Peter isn’t here, she’s so sorry, Peter isn’t here.
“I don’t care about anything you did. I don’t care about any of it. You’re here, you’re alive, and that's all that matters. May said-she told me what it was like. How many people died. So, whatever you had to do to stay alive, I don’t care. It’s better than the alternative,” he said.
You closed your eyes.
“I think maybe we were the lucky ones.”
Opened them.
“We got to escape all that. For a while.”
“Nice little vacation.”
He snorted. The familiar pieces fell back into place, just a few of them. He bent his head down to your shoulder, breath warming your skin through the fabric of your shirt. His nose skimmed up your throat, along your jaw, stopping at your ear.
He whispered, “Stay.”
You said yes, even though you probably shouldn’t have, even though it was probably stupid, even though there were so many things to deal with and talk about. But right then, you just wanted to go back. Back to a world where every bridge was still intact and every stone was rightly turned. Just for a little while.
And so you both curled beneath the covers, tucked together under a swath of darkness, limbs tangled together. Just like it was. Just like it could be, again.

34 with gx, and 47 with haru & bowman please
Thanks for asking >w
Send me character(s), ship or series with a prompt and ill do an au/story out of it.
34. GX/diary
So my first thought was Mirai nikki, and for all I know about this manga/anime, I could totally see a violent battle royale style story for gx. With the promise of a great power for whoever wins. Judai just want to get out (but it turns out it’s all made so he’s the one who will win), Asuka wants to find out what happened to her brother since it seems related to that game, same for Edo except he doesn’t have a magical diary (though he pretends he does to learn more about the game)… stuff like this.
But. It’s too sad and depressing and Im not here for that. So… I don’t know if you remember that episode of s2 where Manjoume has a camera at the beginning? But that made me realize he’d totally have a youtube channel and do daily vlogs. At first he doesnt really have any followers, but he quickly get some fans and now there’s kind of all of Academia following his videos. It’s mostly just him showing off his awesome lifestyle, and sometimes random rants about how the people around him are stupid. There’s also that one quite different story time where he talked about family pressure and all.
He refused to give the channel name to the others at first, but they quickly found it and now it’s a daily routine at the red dorms to watch Manjoume’s vlogs. Of course he hates to hear their comments, especially since they all know the truth is far from what he shows.
Also, Judai once took Manjoume’s phone while he was sleeping to post a very stupid video where he and sho draws funny things on his face. By the time he woke up and deleted it, it had more views than any of his other videos.
47. Stars/ Haru &Bowman
This reminds me of that AU I kind of dropped because there was too many plotholes, but I still like it a bit so… let’s go.
Earth in the future, humanity advanced greatly in technology for the better and the worst. The planet is dying, and very dangerous AIs with free will and emotions were created. Many projects were organized in order to find a new planet where humans could live. One of them led to the departures of a spaceship toward an exoplanet in a far away solar system. (I could actually devellop about this expedition, it’s members are all vrains characters and there are some more stories, but it’s not the focus. Though if you want more about this part, tell me).
Since the travel will take a few years, all humans were put to sleep, with only the on-board AI - Haru - to take care of the spaceship. He doesn’t have a single physical body, he just controls all the stuff inside the spaceship (oxygen level, temperature, direction…) and have some basic robots in case. The other AI officially inside the spaceship is Bowman, an advanced android here to explore a possibly dangerous planet without risking human lives, and turned off during the travel. They were both created to not have free will.
While the trip goes on peacefully, one of the dangerous AI - Lightning-, is planning on killing all the humans while they’re asleep. He got in the spaceship’s system, but was quickly unable to do anything as it is build so no important thing are accessible just through the informatic system, and there needs to be a manual activation. But one day, a [insert here your favorite sci fi plot explanation: cosmic storm, energy wave…] greatly damaged the spaceship and Haru turned Bowman on because only a human-like body could repare it. Seeing that, Lightning modified Bowman and Haru’s code so that they both have free will and emotions as well. But, before he could order them to kill the humans, the spaceship was too far away to be directly reached by any signal from earth.
When Bowman woke up, asking Haru what they were supposed to do about this, they both knew that he was supposed to be turned off again. But they didn’t do anything. Haru just pretended there must have been a reason, and they should wait for someone to wake up to take a decision. The truth is, he didn’t want to be alone now that he knew how it felt. The spaceship was silent, empty, and the stars was so far away it seemed that it wasn’t even moving. Since they didn’t have much to do, Bowman started reading the books some humans had brought with them, books about mythology and heroes. He took all he red as true, and Haru had to explain him biology, physic and science so he doesn’t get a wrong idea of humans. They often spent time where Bowman was reading the books to Haru, as he didn’t have a body to do that himself.
At the same time, Haru was slowly realizing that their feelings, and thoughts, it wasn’t supposed to be there. After some time he knew that, the moment humans will wake up and notice the change in their behaviour, they’ll both be erased. He could pretend to be a normal AI, but Bowman clearly not. And it’s around this time Lightning got in contact again with them. He told them to kill the humans, and join him. Bowman, having a physical body similar to a human one, could easily turned off all the sleeping system and kill them all in a second. But he refused, who could even do something as awful as killing so many innocent people? Keeping access to the spaceship was hard for Lightning, and it broke again as he was reminding them that he could quite easily change their programm, now that they were feeling and thinking.
Once again, they were both alone in the middle of space. But this time, with a terrible choice to make. Haru didn’t mind killing humans, since it meant being safe and not having their program changed, by them or by lightning. And he knew waiting for Lightning to reach again the spaceship meant probably the same as having the humans wake up and erase them. When Bowman asked Haru if he could change his program as well, he knew what he meant.
They decided to do this. Haru would erase all the part inside Bowman that led him to get emotions and will, alongside the memories of all this, and turn him off. He didn’t want to be left alone, but they would be destroyed anyway.
When the spaceship reached the planet, and all humans woke up, no one noticed that Haru was always turning his camera on if someone was reading a mythology book…
