Steve's parents are never home.

They're never home because they're spies, married, happily even. They're Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies.

Steve knows. Fuck it. Steve is a young in-training, spy-to-be, endorsed by his parents, and so young with a fucking magnificent curriculum already. His cover as a regular student in Hawkins High has been perfect for years, including heartbreak and befriending young kids and babysitting and all that jazz.

Steve even played along with his dumb jock roll and then, oblivious babygirl working a whole summer at Scoops Ahoy, where he met Robin.

Robin's skills were noticed by him and the Harringtons, offering Robin to join the Omega Sector intelligence service.

Everything was going smoothly, until Eddie Munson happened.

-

Eddie Munson, Hawkins' minor drug seller, local pariah, trailer park trash... a fucking menace who can't stay still and Dustin's new hero.

Steve hates him.

He must admit, the boy is charming in an annoying way that gets him off his skin. And handsome. With stupidly big brown eyes and wide smile with dimples.

But Eddie is a troublemaker, and the fact that he sleeps with the most dangerous men doesn't help. Steve is not jealous, he is not. But when Dustin tells Steve that Eddie told him about this guy that he slept with who was planning an attack on Hawkins' Lab?

Steve finds himself saving Eddie's ass when this criminal leader goes after him, obsessed with the long haired dealer, and travelling around the world to dismantle the criminal net.

Shennanigans assured, innuendo, only one bed, and if Steve and Eddie fall in love in the meantime, well. That's the story.

bad ending: timmy grows up and completely forgets his fairies like they never even existed

good ending: timmy gets adopted by cosmo & wanda, becomes a fairy and is never seen again in the human world

true ending: timmy grows up and makes a life of his own on earth BUT gets to keep his memories about fairies and becomes an intermediary between new godkids and fairykind. in other words he gets to keep his friends and family from BOTH earth and fairy world

MAGSEV 010: HUMAN REMAINS.

"I swear, I’ll get to the bottom of this. They’ll have to kill me otherwise. You’ll know which one comes first."

In the aftermath of the attack on their office, the Cataloguing Department is left with more questions than answers, and takes one large shock to the entire system. Will it be the nail in the coffin for the withered and bruised staff? ...Why should they know? It's not like it's ever been their right to.

It's here! It's here! The last episode of MAGSEV SEASON ONE! Wow....I have so many sappy words I have to hold back (trust me, i am making a post...) but tldr- thank you to EVERYONE who's supported this silly little fanproject and given me the space to be nerdy about my fixations! Thank you for tuning in, wether it be just now, or every week, or since the project announcement in July!

There WILL be a Season 2, there WILL be Season 1 extras and art, and maybe even a DTIYS, so you'll have to stay tuned for future announcements!

One last thank you- it's been a ride!!

Does anyone remember the idea i pitched about the DFS as an emperor, LLH as his concubine and FDB as the new empress being forced into a marriage.

Switching things around for that. LLH is the real emperor but switched positions with DFS for safety reasons and cause he's not supposed to be overworking himself.

This causes a massive confusion for FDB who had the ceremony with DFS but enters the marriage chambers to find LLH lounging on the bed.

"why are you here?" Fang Duobing asks, standing at the edge of the bed. There was no anger in his tone just a bone deep exhaustion from the ceremony and the need to crawl into the bed regardless of the new man being present was strong.

"to keep my betrothed company." Li Lianhua smiles coyly, trying to take a peek under the veil to see his bride's face.

Fang Duobing nodded as the understanding came to him, "ah- great, then you can entertain him. Is there a different room for me? I wanna sleep." He muttered, looking around for an exit that wouldn't give him away.

Li Lianhua chuckled grabbing Fang Duobing's wrist and pulling him to the bed so he could look at him properly, right at that time the door opened and Di Feisheng stepped in closing the door behind him and securing it.

"I see you started already," Di Feisheng said, carefully keeping his voice neutral.

"Aiyah I need to see my bride's face at least, there's nothing inappropriate going on," Li Lianhua waved his hand at the emperor while Fang Duobing struggled to free his wrist.

"who said I am your wife? Let go!" Fang Duobing whined, tugging harder. "You! You help me! I don't care what sort of business you have with your consort! I don't want to be a part of your silly perverted games! I am a man from a proper upstanding family. How dare you treat me this way?" He yelled at Di Feisheng, his surprise at being overpowered as obvious as the moon shining in the sky.

Di Feisheng rolled his eyes before striding over and pulling Fang Duobing's arm free but he did not let his escape, rather he picked him up and deposited the new bride in the waiting arms of his consort who seemed very pleased holding the mouth gaping wife.

"yes, i know. It's very stimulating isn't it? How easy he picks you up like you weigh nothing? When he did that to me the first time I was so red I had to visit the physician to make sure I wouldn't burst," Li Lianhua teased, boping the nose of the youngest in the room.

"Xiangyi~" Di Feisheng interrupted, his voice rough.

"okay okay, I was just teasing. I will explain everything to our new bride."

I have a midwestern country Twilight agenda to push so heres my list of things Twi does/experienced from a certified midwesterner

- goes and stands on the deck as soon as there's talk of severe weather rolling in

- "ya know it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the wind chill (winter) / humidity (summer)"

- very large bonfires (like we're talkin doesn't fully go out for days)

- long ass goodbyes (bonus points if it ends with Twi slapping his knee and say "welp 'spose i better get going")

- "ope", "don't cha know", "smells like rain" (not for the wolf reasons)

- any variation of talking about the weather

- way too many miscellaneous story about the hometown (like "oh those trees are in front of the school cause some kids died")

- complaining about the cities™ (bonus points if one city is the 'cake-eater' city)

- complaining about construction season

- complaining about people not knowing how to drive "we get snow every year how do you forget how to drive in it"

- bring your tractor to school day

- everything is a 20-30 minute drive away

- "jeet" (did ya eat), "jever" (did ya ever)

- nosy as hell

- really fast walker

-calls mosquitoes 'skeeters'

how do toph and merman zuko meet?

By chance!

I think they first meet in the period between Azula's defeat at Ba Sing Se, but before the eclipse. She might not have to deal with the Dai Li anymore, but the city is still stifling. She makes frequent escapes out into the countryside whenever she can, where she can get some earth between her toes.

Zuko follows the path of the river past Ba Sing Se's walls. He made the effort to come out all this way following the gossip he heard about his sister and the Avatar, but part of him is just bemused he got past the walls so easily. Turned out all the Fire Nation needed to infiltrate Ba Sing Se was someone who could breathe underwater.

Of course, his journey ends at the massive lake the river dumps out into. He can't get any further. He decides to hang out for a few days- mostly just trying to figure out what the fuck this massive structure under the lake is. It looks earthbent. Weird.

He and Toph just happen to be in the same place at the same time. Toph calls out to him- because it that someone swimming in fucking Lake Laogai? And they just... sort of hit it off from there, especially once Zuko realizes she's blind.

And then they just kind of keep running into each other. She tags along with Aang sometimes while he's trying to track this ocean spirit or whatever, but for the most part she just goes off on her own. She has no interest in going in the water. She does find it kind of weird that she keeps running into this same guy- but this sort of thing actually happens to them a lot.

Some AmberPrice & BTS details in Life is Strange: Forget Me Not comics

So in this universe Rachel knew Kate but I assume they left before Kate jumped?

So it was Steph who's feeling all those blue words there.

Glad to see AmberPrice here. It's interesting. Rachel "read the room" and sensed the tension from Alex, and went along with it by saying that she has a shoot tomorrow to prevent any conflict from happening. Chloe the blurer one went like "you do? XD I imagine Rachel explaining to Chloe that something was up that's why she said what she said & Chloe being like "oh..."

The photoshoot was more of an excuse than a real reason; Rachel utilized her people skills once again to go with the flow/give others what they want. (Girl will always be a social genius in whichever reality haha)

Rachel and Alex could've had some great interactions. The former tends to wear masks and blend in and Alex can literally read what Rachel was really feeling & thinking when others could not. Imagine the shockness Rachel would feel & Alex reads her surprised thoughts too

(Rachel, internally: who's this chick? No one could read me like this before, does she have some mind reading powers? Alex, internally: bet.)

Also we could see Chloe in this reality was someone who completely disengaged with her Blackwell past, and changed to someone different from the Green hair Chloe who kinda embraced her past having Max back. I feel like there's some potential here that could be explored-- how she & Rachel continue to deal with her pasts & face their future in their new lives. Are they gonna move on & put it behind them forever? What about Rachel's Long Beach childhood? This Chloe "domestication" and Rachel's acting career kicking off could also bring turbulence to their relationship.

I was also wondering how it would go if this Rachel actually met the Green hair Chloe who lost her Rachel. Give her a hug, at least.

My other reblog & thoughts

Full issue 1 yt video here (there's also one without commentary)

Issue 2 bts parts here.

Ps: was on Reddit for the lis comics, just hope that people would stop the amberprice pricefield war; also some pricefielders really have Rachel misunderstood it's sad

The brotherless/what was taken au

Reader is an asshole. Snarky. Smartass. Rude for no reason. Just basically a prick. But there is something sincere abt them that Sun thinks is good. Moon likes the challenge, likes how stubborn and abrasive they are, but can tell that something has made them that way, the same way the virus made him into something different. Either way, both are curious about the reader, who seems equally as interested in them.

Takes place a few years (15? Maybe?) after Plex catches fire and closes permanently. Some unnamed company has dug out what was left behind and is messing around with the animatronics to see how damaged they are. Reader is hired for the Sun/Moon tasks. The company’s goal is to trace back what happened to the Plex, why it happened, and who was involved. When the project is done, the suitable animatronics (the ones cleared of the virus) will be given a chance to return to the world and carry on with whatever sort of life they wish, with close supervision for six months to a year to be sure they’re hospitable enough to live with the public.

Sun/Moon are kept in a square, bland as hell room with a big window on one side. This leads to an observation room where a staff member (reader) can talk to, interact with the animatronics without being close to them, and manage controls for the room. Sun/Moon are hooked up to a system by a series of chords that stretch from their back. These control them: turn them on and off, which parts of their body they can move, give short correctional shocks, basically can keep them easily under control and helpless. If they remove the chords, they power down immediately. There’s no way to get rid of the chords or ignore what they do.

Reader gives them simple tasks. “Pretend this teddy bear” a teddy bear is dropped into the room “is a distressed child. What do you do?” They ask them basic questions. “What were you built to do?” “What is 13 multiplied by 24?” “Why is the sky blue?” “Who created you?” Just testing their knowledge. What they know. About themselves, about the world. Sometimes they’re rude and play tricks on the animatronic for no reason. They don’t hurt them- just kind of push them around. Sun gets attached, with how Reader is, at heart, a jokester, and, when fixing any broken parts Sun/Moon are discovered to have, diligent and careful, making sure everything is as it should be, asking how they are feeling every step of the way.

Moon is still partially warped by the virus and rarely comes out. When he does, reader turns intense, borderline vicious, needles him and antagonizes him. They’ve got a fight to pick with him, it’s obvious, but neither Sun nor Moon can remember much from before the fire.

But reader went to the Plex as a child, often. And they remember everything.

-

Aka, reader is the older sibling of one of the kids Moon lured away, and even if it’s been years, that’s years they’ve spent seething and hurting, and they still want answers- and for Sun and Moon to regret what they did, and regret it properly

Also could be considered an unlikely enemies-to-tolerance-to-friends-to-confused-but-might-be-crushing relationship! Reader has always thought they knew what they’d do if they ever got the chance to make Moon pay for it all, but suddenly they’re here and he’s there and they’re both stupid and hurting and shells of themselves and neither is sure what they want anymore

cast a spell on my heart

Posted on ao3: read here!

Standing in front of the town’s record shop, now fully redecorated to appear as though it’s a magic shop, Pearl has started to feel just a bit too out of her element.

She cranes her head awkwardly to the side to read the sign out front, which displays the words ‘The Crystal Cliffs Emporium’. Apparently, it’s where she’s supposed to go to find the next key item for her quest— collect three magical stones to unlock the seal on something called…a Rune Blade…?

So, Pearl might not be the best person to LARP with.

(In which Pearl is absolutely clueless on how to pretend as a Queen and discovers that flirting works just as well as actually roleplaying. — For @mcyt-yuri-week Valentines day 2: Royalty/Knight)

Just Breathe

Did some doodle fanart for @kakita-shisumo's Bookstore Max AU, more specifically a scene from Breathe! It's such a heartbreaking series in some ways, but also cute in others, especially the fic I linked! Highly recommended read!

[acequinz]

Pro gamer Fang Duobing who runs a true crime live account on the side.

It's nothing much but he just dives into unsolved cases and explains them live because he has a law degree and he has to use it somewhere.

But he goes missing when he dives into the case of Li Xiangyi and accidentally uncovers some details that are wonky in the investigation while on livestream.

It's about Shan Gudao. (His uncle.)

Anyway it send the world into uproar which alerts Di Feisheng who was a prime suspect in the case but eventually let free because of the lack of evidence who latches onto Fang Duobing's theory and sets out multiple private investigators from his company to look for the missing boy.

Reopening the case of Li Xiangyi.

Meanwhile Li Lianhua is angrily tapping his foot glaring at the 20 year old as they watch the news of Li Xiangyi's case being reopened together.

"what do you have to say for yourself damn brat?"

"I am sorry?"

"no you stay here."

"Li Lianhua I am sorry, I love you, let me out (⁠っ⁠��̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ"
