#this story has so much potential for it tho!

[heyyesimtrash-whatofit]

Hey Gatsby people, I know I’ve seen ppl talk about a reincarnation AU and wanted to try my hand at it (thanks @writerinconstantcrisis for listening and helping this bullshit lmao). Please consider-

Nick, having successfully published his memoir The Great Gatsby, stands as the last of their group to die

The gang are reincarnated and run into each other just a tad earlier than before, their Junior Year of High School. They become great friends, absolutely clueless to their past lives

Spring of their Junior Year they get the good ol required reading of The Great Gatsby, in which their friend group just sorta laughs at it although Nick can’t shake this sense of Deja Vu reading it…

It comes to a head for him in the hallway one day leaving class when Jay calls him “old sport” (“because it sounds cool! I like it, I’m gonna bring it back.” “You’re gonna look like an idiot, James.”) Nick is hit with an entire lifetimes worth of memories in one go

Has to spend the rest of high school in constant crisis because none of the others know, they clearly don’t know, if they knew they wouldn’t be hanging around George and Myrtle so casually oh god he’s gonna be sick-

Jordan remembers next, at a graduation party. Nick decided to shoot the long shot and mention how he’s never liked small parties because there’s no privacy. Jordan is left reeling but at least Nick is there to help her

Daisy finds out next, although she’s alone when it happens. It’s their first year of college and she’s left reeling and on her own. At first Nick thinks nothing of her sudden texting spree in the group chat (which was jokingly named “The Gay Gatsby” back in high school and hasn’t changed) until Christmas, when he sees that look in her eyes and spends the rest of dinner staring her down until he can ask in private. She cries for an hour at least

Tom remembers second to last, his Junior Year of college when he and Daisy get together (on much better terms, mind you, and both he and Daisy are better people because screw you it’s my AU and I get to fix the characters) Like Daisy I’m not sure exactly what his trigger event is but it hits him and hard. First off, gaining a second lifetime of memories is rough. Second, he was an asshole oh my gosh. Third, he caused the death of someone he gets along with pretty well now (no, he and Gatsby are not best buds. They’re more like those friends who constant piss each other off as a show of affection). He’s not the other three there for him though so it’s not terrible.

Gatsby is last. First to die, last to remember and boy does it hit him like a brick. They’re out of college, hanging at Nick and Jay’s shared apartment (roommates, but room for ship because I do, but can be platonic) when someone says something and immediately everything shatters. His admittedly short life crashes back harder than the others’ ever did (except maybe Nick) and he is absolutely broken by it. It takes three days for Nick to be able to talk to him, and that’s not even beginning to acknowledge the others.

Once everyone is back and ticking, barely comprehending what’s going on mind you but they’re trying, they all vow to never let the events of that summer happen again. They’re on a good roll already but they need to keep it up. For everyone’s sakes

That’s the jist of it main plot wise. I’m gonna include some additional sillies under the cut. Feel free to ask/comment/whatever about this AU if you’ve got questions, because I have a lot of thoughts for it lmao

Additional disaster-

Every time someone remembers, they watch the 2013 movie together with those who know and laugh at the inconsistencies/wrong things. It helps them make light of their shitty pasts.

Furthermore, every time someone remembers Nick rereads the book. He can’t forget. He refuses to.

Once Jay remembered and the shitstorm passed, everything returning to as it had been was marked by everyone in their group chat sending some form of “Close enough, welcome back The Gay Gatsby.” Jay laughed for ages at it. Nick had to respond for him.

Everyone has dreams about their past life, although for some it’s more common. Namely for Nick and Jay, whose reoccurring dreams are more like nightmares

Nick feels responsible for everyone. He was the first to remember, he wrote the book, he has to be there for them better this time around. He fails to remember that they’re there for him too, which comes to a head when they find him passed out, locked in his room, surrounded by smudged pages on which he was once again trying to recall that summer by memory. Things get worse when he lets it slip that he was easily ten times worse when writing the original TGG. Mandatory group therapy amongst each other doubles in frequency, with the others refusing to let Nick just brush over the shit he was put through because of them.

Everyone calls bullshit on Nick’s flawless A in English 11. Why? “HE DIDNT HAVE TO READ SHIT! HE WROTE THE DAMN BOOK!” Nick claims that’s their problem, not his.

After first regaining his memories, Nick became very reclusive. He hid from his friends until they broke into his room, partially RAN from George and Myrtle every time he saw them, and became very invested in rereading TGG. Oddly enough though he wasn’t adverse to hugs, especially from Jay. In truth, it was because he just liked hearing his friend’s heartbeat. It helped remind him that he had a second chance, they all did

Jay and Tom argue a lot still, but about the stupidest things. Once things settled from Jay remembering, Jordan, Daisy, and Him were hanging out when suddenly they heard a loud argument approaching. Nick braced for the worst, only to find the two arguing about whether normal or Dino nuggets were better. Idiots.

Nick, having no other outlet for his feelings and thoughts toward his past life at the time, took to his English class’ book discussions to discuss and explain things missed or misunderstood. He was. Rather passionate about proving his point when someone tried to claim he was wrong. He wrote the book damnit!

Jordan is a Lesbian and proud, Nick is Gay, Gatsby is Bi. It’s practically stated in the book but I just need to say it here to be sure.

Jay has had an “irrational fear of pools” since he was a kid. It makes sense in hindsight

And I think that’s all I have for now! Please, if there’s any interest in this AU, do not be afraid to let me know. I will rant. I am trash. Don’t forget it

My Hero Academia is ending in 5 chapters so that there will be a sequel where Bakudeku are married and they start a hero agency with Shouto as their sexy secretary. And they all fall in love while trying to navigate post-war society and make it a better one for both heroes and villains. It's true, HORI TOLD ME.

After meaning to for a long time I finally got around to playing Arcus and it was such a joy to play through. Your ability to tell a coherent and compelling story in such a sort amount of time with very little dialog is impressive. As much as I'm looking forward to Bloodborne Kart, I'm even more looking forward to what other original ideas you may delve into after finishing it. And like I'm really excited for BBK.

ah,, omg. thank u so much for playing my lil indie game. and im so happy u liked it. i do think its scrungly but i am happy with what i made.

i cant wait to get back to making original ip again, and especially a sequel to arcus because Elle deserves another game. i feel like shes just sitting in that cave, waiting for me to let her out so she can go on another adventure.

just going to put this out there... so many of the doctor who fan theories about ruby's origin story before the finale were so friggin creative. a lot of them seemed more legit than the canon, lol. would've loved to have seen one of them come to life in the show. this fandom truly possesses the greatest minds <3

Yes hi hello, this is regarding your reblog. Between Cleo and Clawdeen, who fell first and who fell harder?

I'm just gonna give you a whole rundown of how I see them getting together. Which is spoilers for a fic I've been trying to write, but oh well!

Clawdeen fell first.

Not long after she accepts that she likes ghouls, and only ghouls, she also realizes that Cleo is the one that has caught her affection. She's quick to bury these feelings and tuck them away, not wanting them to get in the way of their friendship, especially after so many years spent as rivals. And given that Cleo is straight as far as anyone (including Cleo herself) knows, and in a loving, sometimes rocky, but seemingly unending relationship with Deuce, she resigns herself to pine after her for the rest of high school.

However, Cleo and Deuce do end up (mutually) breaking up early on their senior year (HEALTHILY AND ON GOOD TERMS)

Cleo's reputation takes a bad hit, as vicious rumors start to spread. All of her ghoulfriends come to her defense, but none as fiercely as Clawdeen. On top of that, while the other ghouls treat her with pity, Clawdeen doesn't, and Cleo is incredibly appreciative of that. The two of them get closer and start to hang out more one on one.

Cleo fell harder.

Clawdeen comes out to her one day, and she's ecstatic. Mainly because she can't believe that the two of them have gotten close enough for Clawdeen to trust her that much. After asking more questions though, she becomes quite jealous as she realizes that there is someone Clawdeen is crushing on. While offering advice, she secretly makes it her mission to parse this ghoul out and make sure she's good enough for Clawdeen. She lowkey becomes obsessed trying to figure out who it is, and fills with relief every time she crosses someone off her list. She's so preoccupied, she doesn't even realize when Clawdeen starts using the advice she'd given her, against Cleo. At one point Cleo becomes convinced that the mystery ghoul is Toralei and is devastated. She tries to tell herself it's because she feels betrayed, but she's all too familiar with heartbreak to recognize it for what it is.

A bit later, Clawdeen asks Cleo to hang out, and Cleo is quick to oblige. They have a great time, Cleo tells Clawdeen that whoever it is she likes would be lucky to have her as a ghoulfriend. Clawdeen is mortified, and in that moment fully confesses to Cleo that she is, in fact, her crush. It all hits Cleo at once: the fact that Clawdeen had been using the advice he'd given against her, that they were actually on a date, that she apparently very much does like ghouls, and in particular, has fallen for Clawdeen. Not only did she fall harder, she was oblivious of it up until the crash. She also feels incredibly vindicated, as she realizes she's the only ghoul in school worthy of Clawdeen and vice versa.

Cute shit ensues, the two of course start dating, and become the most iconic couple to ever walk the halls of Monster High. End scene.

Tbh there's nothing quite like getting roped (pun intended) into watching a truly mediocre show that can only be described as a Trainwreck fueled by racism and abuse.

Pounding my fist on the floor and crying over how light hearted and happy and full of care Mac sounds in the “quit it, eat your dang peach XD” “mm, you’re a peach” like what the heck, illegal levels of soft cuteness and happy sunshine days and fur ruffles from these monkeys, they SHOULD pile him with baby monkeys, you can’t go on without cuddlessss, I need shadowpeach hug, I need the tail wrapping around each other for comfort, furry creatures NEED their physical contact and purring and grooming or whatever, also MK cackling over the “bud” comment like yeah, more live reaction to these crazy monkeys please, surprised to hear it? XD it gets tossed around so casually on a normal day, yep your mentor used to call him that too! Wowza, yes he said it to the edgy one. The reaction is akin to someone naming a big black scary dog something like Princess Razzlemuffin Sparkles.

ah, Macky all happy and comfy before disaster struck :) getting fat on fruit just like that but forever :) little did he know—
