Thinking desperately about the difference between Lucanis's first attempted hit at Ghilan'nain, where his body is perfectly poised and straight like an arrow, even before he and Spite reconcile.

And on his second attempt, with Ghilan'nain having just foiled his attempt again, Harding or Davrin just lost, and Rook in her grasp, his attack is beautiful still, maybe even more so. But it's not acrobatic, not poised. Even when having reconciled with Spite, in the face of this loss, Lucanis leaps out of pain and desperation, and this time he strikes true.

And then he loses Rook anyway.

So I get the feeling that a lot of fandom agrees that Bella immediately being the most perfect vampire is just… not very compelling writing, yeah?

Smeyer tried to ramp up conflict with external factors (Bella worrying she’ll want to mail her own daughter, Charlie visiting right away, coming across the hiker’s scent) but they all dissolve into non-issues so quickly that it turns into more fawning over how exceptional she is. Good for her, boring for readers

I don’t actually hate the “I was born to be a vampire” sentiment, I think it had potential, but having it manifest as “I was born to be an extremely human-friendly vampire” is a little odd. I feel like it would be just as rewarding to have her be an excellent vampire— powerful gift, strong and fast even for a newborn, even great control over the bloodlust, ymmv— but provide also a little narrative balance by having too much of a good thing.

This could mean she has a new, equal-but-opposite “clumsiness”: Clumsiness comes from a lack of control/awareness/stability in the limbs, right? Her proprioception and reflexes were off as a human. So as a vampire, why not have the pendulum swing in the other direction? Make her have a hard time dialing down the uncanny inhuman demeanor. She has a harder time at playing human than most vampires. She’s always forgetting to visibly breathe, sigh, fidget, etc. Her movements are a little too fast, a little too lithe. She’s always crushing stuff in her hands.

Idk. Just. Something to make her a little monstrous, even if it’s not the typical struggle of the bloodlust (though that’s not a bad option!). “She got everything she ever wanted with no repercussions or drawbacks” wasn’t remotely satisfying or interesting

This is Ditzy Doo’s strongest warrior speaking, how may I help you

[infamous-if]

That’s you ever though of doing any AUs with the Infamous cast after everything is finished or will you focus on the ext project after this??? Maybe a long break in between because you’re honestly cooking

thank you ! and meh I’m very much a “when I’m done, I’m done” kind of person who likes to move on to something fresh every time but i think i want to stay in the "fame/hollywood" bubble with future projects! I have a few in mind that I work on in my downtime

infamous def will never be a series with the same characters but I won’t completely write off connected stories in the same universe but i'll cross that bridge when i get to it in like another year or so!

I cant focus on more than one if at a time that’s too much brainpower for me lololol

Danny didn’t think about his early years prior to his adoption by the Fentons. Sure, he could still remember them, but he wanted that chapter of his life to remain firmly behind him. The part of him that had been Danyal was dead and buried.

But then his parents’ portal opened on top of him, and that history became all too important again.

His mind may have long since healed from the madness of the Pit Rage, but the taint of the Lazarus Waters from his resurrections still clung to his soul.

Guided, the addition of pure ectoplasm would have washed away those wounds. But there was no guiding intelligence behind what was happening. No grander plot. Just the energies of the portal taking whatever path was needed to complete their circuit.

And thus, as the ectoplasm rewrote Danny’s DNA into a half-ghost form, it also empowered the remnants of the Lazarus Pit’s effects.

Emotions from those whom the League had killed had long seeped their way into the ectoplasm of the Lazarus Pits, but they had been faint. Far weaker than full ghosts, barely even echoes. Enough to cause the Pit Rage, but no more.

But with the influx of pure ectoplasm, those echoes grew.

And so when Danny emerged from the portal, it was with a choir of countless angry voices screaming into his brain to avenge them, to raze the League to the ground until nothing remained.

Hey if you're looking for some decent leftist critiques of AI that don't tip into scaremongering and are much more realistic about the state of the industry that I think a lot of the people discussing this stuff on tumblr are, Citations Needed and It Could Happen Here both had recent episodes about this that are pretty reasonable in their approach (their approach broadly being that the problem is capitalism and also media narratives about AI either being the end of the world or replacing all creatives are both pushed by grifters).

Teen!skk again with their silly nonsense: this time Chuuya using Dazai as a way for him to lift weights

Whenever it's leg day, Chuuya will set a mat out on the floor and lie down with his legs in the air and Dazai will balance on top of his feet and Chuuya just. does leg reps with Dazai as Dazai's struggling not to laugh every time he looks down at Chuuya's face

it's taken them several times to get the position down because it actually requires a lot of balance and sometimes arm strength on Dazai's behalf if he's also steadying himself with Chuuya's hands, and Chuuya has to keep his legs up perfectly straight and feet flat to keep Dazai from falling off. but sometimes when Dazai's being a lil shit and snickering at Chuuya's face while he's intensely concentrating, Chuuya will just kick Dazai off of him and move on to doing push-ups (until Dazai comes over again and sits on Chuuya's back)

Gosh your content tugs on my heartstrings, I can't recall the last time I've absorbed fanfics and incredible comics for hours! :)

Some of your incredible AUs have swept into my daydreaming, and having recently rewatched some scenes from Wolfwalkers, I couldn't stop this from strirring into the mix. So now I'm stuck with the idea of Akari becoming somewhat of a 'wolfwalker', or a zorua/zoroark-walker to be more specific!

Now I can't stop picturing Zorua-Akari causing trouble in her new form, and it's hard to conclude she's behind it all; her body is sheltered somewhere and likely sound asleep! If we opt for more angst though, maybe she would be driven from jubilife village as zoruas are (were?) shunned for manifesting illusions? Yet on a brighter side, there could be valuable lessons and exciting adventures waiting around the corner!

But what I can't really flesh out is how Akari (or Ingo if he is there to witness it) will handle this bizarre shift in her everyday experience: I like to think she'd be on edge at first, but quickly come to see the perks of being a 'wild' zorua. But if something did escalate, how much can she handle?

I apologise for this lengthy brainstorm, but I hope you don't mind! :) Thank you for so much great content and well fleshed-out AUs! Your portrayal of the characters are so good and made me see them in a new light!

HEY ANON!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! I’m so so so happy you like my works!! ;w; it means a lot to hear that!! Thank you!!

Now for your idea; I LOVE WOLFWALKERS. It’s a great movie and cartoon saloon’s strong shapes in their visuals is always so well done!! Wonderful movie, and I think your concept is such a fun one to work with!!

Akari getting to be a zorua while she sleeps is such a fun idea, just like the movie I could see it really being about her getting used to being one with the other wild zorua and zoroark. And then as it goes on, I really like the idea that this extends into the exile part of PLA’s narrative, and gets more serious.

It would be interesting to see how these media’s narratives mesh. Would the red sky be blamed on zorua and zoroark walkers in this narrative? I think for Akari, how I see it is she would find being a zorua exciting and fun. She’d keep it a secret for a while but eventually she couldn’t help but start showing it to close people — there’s nothing wrong with it, people are wrong for thinking it’s dangerous. But maybe the wrong person sees, or she shows someone she thought she could trust. Then uh oh, she gets exiled and a hunt is initiated.

And as for Ingo (if you are considering the dynamics I write them in), I feel like he would handle things much the way Robyn’s dad Bill did, it’s a struggle at first and he doesn’t understand. But at some point he must make a choice and embraces it — either like Bill does, actually becoming a wolfwalker (zoroarkwalker?) himself, or just more accepting Akari is now one herself and he can’t separate her from that.

Not sure how it could go, but ultimately it’s your AU idea!! Such a fun concept anon, there’s a lot you could do with it and I would love to hear more if you ever want to share! For now I just had to try and put these guys into the wolfwalkers artstyle. Thanks for sharing this with me!!!

I love the new characters on OMITB but…

I really miss a lot of characters from the first two seasons. Of course there are the Dimases (that’s the plural of Dimas right? Lol), I’ve definitely heard people talking about how much they miss them. Mostly Theo, and hey me too. I do think there’s lots to revisit with these two. But also I ADORE Lucy! I would love to see more of Lucy. Her relationship with Charles is so unique and sweet. She sounds gen z without actually sounding like she was written by a boomer and I love her for it. She’s adorable and excitable and such a good addition to the show. I miss Will too. It’s strange how we barely got to see him in season three especially with Oliver’s medical issues. Oliver is a father and grandfather, but we barely hear him talk about them. What about Mabel’s mom? How is she doing?

I miss the other Arconia residents too. How is Nina doing with her baby and being the Arconia’s board president? How is Charles’ neighbor, Arnav Kapoor? He seemed nice and I wanted to get to know him more. What about Ndidi Idoko and Dr Grover Stanley? I mean that therapist was funny I’m sure you could do something with him.

I also wanna know about Mabel’s relationship with Oscar post season one. They were gonna be just friends but are they friends? Do they still talk? Did they have a falling out? How is he after everything?

How’s Detective William’s wife Kiara and son Keith?

What I love about the first couple seasons is how the Arconia feels like its own little world. There’s a community (of isolated people but still). Now the building feels a little emptier now we only really see Uma, Howard, and Lester. They’ve done so much to build a world here and I wanna continue living in it.

the idea of solangelo breaking up post-TSATS is extremely funny if only for the fact that it would be the SECOND TIME Nico brought his crush to the Underworld for a romantic quest and it went horribly. Like, well, sure bringing Percy to the Styx didn’t turn out great, but bringing Will to Tartarus is bound to work out-! oh. Oh no it didn’t. ....Well, third time’s the charm-!
