Memeing my Ninjago AUs (uhhh they're all Morro-centric your honour) except this time I'm making an introduction post with a lil infodump (pspsps @oceans-calling @ilovemorro you can feast on this now hehe)

Feel free to send asks about these by the way! I'll answer as much as I can!

So, from left to rightmost, under the cut! (CRYSTALIZED SPOILERS)

⮞Pokémon AU //It has a name now! Pokémon Destiny and Legacy!// + Trainer Morro: -This one is a Green Cousins AU I'm making with @/ghostlywispz! (also can't thank them enough for listening to my self indulgent lil rambles in DMs awawawaw) -Lloyd's the protagonist, Morro is the jerk rival and Wu is the professor, the main story of the 'game' progresses pretty much like in the real Pokémon games, while 'post-game' is more open and delves into different characters' arcs than just Lloyd's. -I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer the same amount for this AU as it's a collab AU and I don't want to give only my answers to things I still haven't settled with ghostly.

⮞Dear Doppelganger AU + Doppel Morro: -As the name suggests, this is a Season 5 narration inspired by the song Dear Doppelganger by kemu! -To resume the original song, the main character wishes for a double to appear and do everything she told them to do, which really happens, but it ultimately backfires as the doppelganger replaces her and they end up switching places: the double becomes the real person and the original person becomes a double. -The AU starts before Winds of Change actually, essentially Lloyd and Misako are researching the Cursed Realm to find a way to bring Garmadon back, but little do they know that after the brief gateway opened in Corridor of the Elders, the Preeminent's influence became slightly stronger in Ninjago, and she's lurking for an opportunity to free herself and curse the other Realms. -Anyway, the loss of Garmadon took a big toll on Lloyd, and he feels like he needs a break. He wishes out aloud how much he'd like if there were another him that would substitute for his duties as the Green Ninja as he was checking on some scrolls Misako found. -One of said scrolls seemed linked to Clouse's spellbook, and the wish reaches the Preeminent. The 'wish' comes true, but unknowingly, Lloyd had just allowed himself to be cursed and allowed Morro to be freed too. -Welp, you can predict what happens, Morro appears into Ninjago and he poses as Lloyd's double, taking on Lloyd's appearance and powers thanks to the curse on Lloyd (which will swap Lloyd and Morro's place over time. Morro will be completely free in Ninjago and Lloyd will end up in the Cursed Realm) -It all seems to go well until around Winds of Change, when Lloyd notices there's something off about him: he's more disconnected to, well, everything. It hits him there has to be something wrong, and boom, he discovers his double was evil all along. -Morro, however, had already planned how to start his plan to reach the FSM's tomb and the Realm Crystal beforehand, and also has more information on the ninja's powers and weaknesses, so the confrontation between Lloyd, the other ninja, Wu and Morro ends up very poorly. -The events of Season 5 kick in, and it's a race against time to stop Morro from freeing the Preeminent and Lloyd from being cursed forever.

⮞Crystalized-to-post-Crystalized AU + Lizard Morro: -Hey guess whose brain decided it would be a cool idea to make Crystalized fan content without even reaching the season?? -I can't believe this started just because I thought adding Wojira features to Morro would be funny (I don't regret it, I get to call him a reptile) -Moving on, the Crystalized part is very similar to Crystalized part 2, except Morro is brought back as well to join the Council of the Crystal King. He's not too thrilled at the idea and ends up pulling a 180 to join the ninja's side instead (no, he's not redeemed yet). -Morro has Storm powers in this! The Crystal King had Harumi search for the Storm amulet after Nya was turned human again, and they used the amulet as a secondary source of power to bring back Morro. This is because all of the permanent resurrections of departed souls had to involve an artifact or more (Day of the Departed had the Yin Blade, but it only lasted for the Yin Yang Eclipse, Garmadon in s8 was resurrected through the Oni Masks, and Harumi didn't quite reach the Departed Realm when she was brought back by the Crystal King), so I believe the Overlord's power alone wasn't sufficient to permanently resurrect Morro, who had been in the Departed Realm for few years already -The post-Crystalized part is just a filler between Crystalized's finale and Ninjago United. It won't be too serious (give the people a break) but it won't be like Wu's Teas. -It will have shenanigans between the ninja, Harumi, Morro, Wu, Garmadon, and other characters, maybe you'll see some oneshots when I get to write them?

⮞Headcanon dump AU //Energy AU??//: -Uhh yeah I don't really know what this is, it's something I'm slowly building as I get Ninjago headcanons and try to make them work lmao. -So far I only changed how Destiny and the Energy Element work so uh, let's go with that, and placeholder name is Energy AU for now. (I didn't get to nickname the Morro in this help, and he's the one I blorbofied the most). -Anyway! Destiny in this is not set in stone. It's simply the greatest chance of something happening, and it has backup routes in the case the intended one didn't happen (The intended route is the events of the main Ninjago universe). -Also, it is somewhat more unpredictable? Because who knows the intended path (cough cough FSM, Wu and Garmadon cough cough) still doesn't know when and how it will happen. They just know it will, but nothing else. Will it happen soon? Later? Now? In what way? The only certainty is uncertainty. -The take on Energy is based on how many people interpret Energy as the Element of Life, other than a mix of the four Elements of Creation, and I mashed it up with how Destiny works in the AU. -As Energy is tied to Life, it also means anyone at any moment has an extremely remote chance to develop it as Elemental power when evil appears and there has to be someone to fight it. It's also a backup in the case the chosen one (we know it's Lloyd) isn't born yet/didn't develop Energy due to Destiny being altered/is dead. There is (at least) one person every generation whom the Golden Weapons will react to, because said person is either the chosen one or a backup for the real chosen one. -Hey, I mentioned this is Morro-centric right? Did you connect the dots? The Golden Weapons do react to Morro, and so while he's the Master of Wind he's technically the previous Green Ninja compared to Lloyd too. -The problem is, as the prophecy had no reason to come true during that time, Morro never developed Energy powers, and that's where things start going utter downhill. He stays longer studying under Wu, but they still grow apart and Morro still dies in the Caves of Despair. -After this, Wu's attitude changes to outright fear of uncertainty. He's still able to keep composure and be optimistic, but he's damn scared of making the wrong choices. Such as when Kai wanted to be the Green Ninja: Wu was scared of Kai becoming the Green Ninja but never achieving his goals, he was scared of Kai becoming upset at not being the Green Ninja and doing something reckless, he was scared because he didn't know what would happen no matter what, and that anything he did could've made things worse. -This is all for now, what happens to the main cast is pretty much the same as canon. Maybe I'll add more takes if inspiration strikes me again.

Karlnap Sketches

Technically these are set in my hero’s journey AU, hence the slightly different designs from my usual. Sapnap is much younger here than in canon because it is a pre-canon AU, so he’s still just a little guy with a crush on the local librarian…

#personal #dreamlessart #hjsmp au #karlnap #technically this is also The Town That Never Was #That’s a plot point that always excites me #also based on my own magic aging headcanons #even though Sapnap has lives about the same amount of star cycles as Dream #Sapnap aged much slower than Dream #he’s still just a reckless young adult #whereas Dream has raised a whole ass child into adulthood #still childhood friends though #completely different maturity #dsmpau

[lordwisteria]

Going off that “Jason Todd should be Catholic” post I reblogged....this is so ridiculously niche lol but I need to get it off my chest....Jason Todd is so Ronan Lynch coded

Traumatic reaction to violence that unexpectedly changed them forever, into darker and harder versions of themselves

Molten eyes and a smile made for war!!!

How do you live if you think you were maybe supposed to be dead?

How do you kill yourself again and again, even if it keeps you alive?

Just to get it out of the way yes Gansey died and came back but Jason and Gansey are like the least alike of anyone

Complicated relationship with a parent they once adored

Inexplicable magic that is difficult to explain and makes their lives harder (Like everything about Ronan/Jason coming back to life and the Pit)

General asshole who actually does care a lot

Cared the MOST about one person (Gansey) and slowly came to care about everyone else; fighting and clawing their way back into their own families

It is about RAGE and REGRET. FEAR and FORGIVENESS. It is BEING THE MONSTER AND ASKING FOR LOVE ANYWAY

Ok but. But but. Are there any other parallels? You could go the Lynch brothers route (Dick as Declan, Tim or Damian as Matthew, Bruce as a complicated and dead Niall whose obsessions killed him without considering what it would leave behind for his sons). But I think this really only considers the characters relationships with Jason, not who they are as a person. IF we are looking at who they are instead of their relationships (so yes this does not consider romantic/platonic/blahblah):

It would be easy to say Dick is Gansey. They have the same name, are ~leaders~, and are canonically the prettiest princess in any room. I get it and maybe in the Titans you'd be right, but here, Bruce is Gansey. He is the one with the quest! He is the one driving things forwards and bringing the others along. He's the one with the family name and the family wealth and the family home. He went through something traumatic as a child that irrevocably changed him, fueled his intense guilt and obsession. He brought the group together, and yet feels left behind by them. Someone who cares deeply about the people immediately around him, and yet will not stop pursuing his other goals even if it's hurting them or himself. Obsessed, I think, with proving that he deserves to be here.

Which means that Dick...is Adam Parrish. Like. The constant search for independence. The perfectionism. The bad relationship with his father that forced him to need to be his own man. (Sorry real Bruce but you sucked in batman #416) Loving someone so much and yet always thinking the worst of them. Refusing to be a burden and yet accepting any yoke that comes his way. The intensity of the performance, of pretending to be who you wish you were for the people you care about. Taking on responsibilities because there is literally no other choice, nothing else you could do. Picking the best of your options and knowing that none for them are to rest easy. Valuing freedom so much and giving up your literal body for the quest.

PLUS (less perfect but): Cass as Henry Cheng (and not just bc they are both asian do not look at me like that) Narrative outsider who was watching from afar and put themselves in the narrative. Was molded by shady parent's shady business practices. Was put in a situation as a child they should not have had to endure, which challenged their beliefs and shaped them anew. And maybe like, later Tim as Noah, a bright, fun, young kid on a skateboard who gets himself involved in something too big for him and is undeniably damaged by it. Tim isn't betrayed by someone the way Noah is, but he's kind of...betrayed by the narrative, in a way? Betrayed by the adventure that he thought he was getting. Too clever for his own good, but sometimes naive about people. Lowkey a mirror that lets people see whatever they want to see lol

(I don't see super clear parallels for anyone else lol but I did have a fun time with the thought of Damian as Blue (short/down to fight/has another family/environmentalist/kind of feels fundamentally alienated as someone who is not like everyone else/wears green))

#batfam #the raven cycle #this is so silly and i feel like these parallels are so based on my exact experience and yet also i feel them deep in my bones #meta #i guess if i did do this comparison with the titans #dick would be gansey #which would make jason helen LOL which is kinda of excellent by itself #but idk i just feel there could be something really interesting in an AU like this #it would need to be a same age AU lol but #maybe Dick is in a bad orphanage type thing like in robin annual #but without grown up bruce theres no one to get him out #bruce still saves him by being his friend though #dick and jason both have relationships with bruce and are suspicious of each other #but end up being super close by the end #I also feel Jason would throw Tim out a window which would be funny #dick grayson #jason todd #bruce wayne #tim drake #cass cain

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Good morning I am once again thinking about the silly things Roxy and Cassie could get up to in Meteors AU. Such as staying up all night to catch the tooth fairy and Cassie's dad explaining just in case that if Cassie is being bullied Roxy cannot just bite them. (Just in case because while he was sure she wouldn't before, living with her has made him wonder lmao)

#meteors au #it's so silly fun #i have almost completely neglected the actual plot just for the sillies #lmao #ruin dlc spoilers #also on ghe tooth fairy thing #roxy has only heard about it in passing #she has no idea what it actually is or anything #so cassie losing a tooth and her dad talking about the tooth fairy has both of them excited #cassie's dad forgot roxy doesnt know shit unless its fazbear themed #she'd believe in santa and the easter bunny for at least a few years too #because!!! this is the whole point!!! #roxy doesn't have the same information someone else her age would!!! #her common sense is based on whag WAS common sense in the pizzaplex!!! #and Cassie's dad isn't gonna tell her otherwise!!! #because to him roxy deserves to have a semblance of a childhood!!! #he wants to give her what she could never have had!!! #so she gets to experience everything like this and it's the most wholesome thing!!! #but also it'd be really funny if she just has random pieces of information #like she knows what mother's day is but not father's day #oh my god i had more kn that but fuck it oh shit #first father's day with Cassie's dad and the pair of them are trying so hard to give him a good one #it could end in utter disaster but it's the thought that counts right #and hes not crying because roxy is doing this with cassie as if hes her dad too #no absolutely not lmao #that'd be so good

“Tell me something you hate about America.”

Robin coughed harder than usual, scrunching up from where she had been laying down, wheezing in surprise. Nancy smiled innocently on her left, reaching out a hand to rub her back as she looked back at her with wild eyes, gasping for breath. She cleared her throat once she had recovered and passed the slowly burning joint back to her girlfriend.

“Are you wearing a wire?” she squeaked, the whites of her eyes flashing as she scanned the empty hill Nancy had parked on. It had been a year since she had told her ex-ex-girlfriend the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It had been three months of pure, summer bliss since she had regained Nancy's trust, and tonight they were sharing a joint they had procured together from Eddie, laying on the hood of The Wheeler Station Wagon and looking at the stars.

“Oh my god. Please. I’m an investigative journalist.”

“An aspiring investigative journalist.”

Nancy sat up as she pulled in a lungful of smoke, smacking Robin lightly on the arm.

“Har har, smartass.” she teased on her exhale. Robin plucked the joint nimbly from her fingers and adopted the thinkers pose, eyeing the clear summer skies as she thumbed through the files of her memories, all the way back to when she was first planted in Anchorage, Alaska. Her first American Experience.

“I fucking hate peanut butter.” she sighed, her lips twisting into a wry grin as she glanced at Nancy.

“Shut up. No.” Nancy’s chin hit her chest and she leaned into Robins arm, giggling like a schoolgirl. “Peanut butter? You’re trying to completely integrate with American society and you can’t stand peanut butter? I’m amazed you’ve made it this far!” she laughed, linking their arms and opening her mouth slightly so that her girlfriend could tuck the quickly diminishing roach back between her lips.

“Okay. Right. So.” Robin began, paused, took a breath while she considered the right words, and continued. “Peanut butter is, like, not a thing in the Soviet Union, right? So, like, we’ve HEARD of it, and, yeah, some people get peanut butter, but, like, it’s not just on the shelf at the shop, okay? So, like, you really have to ‘know a guy’ to get some, it’s considered a delicacy.”

She paused and took the last inhale of the stub of their joint before blotting it out on the sole of her boot and flicking it away.

“Okay so - Nancy, you know I’m not rich, but back at home I was, like, I mean I get that there are rich people, and people say the oligarchs are gone and, like, from what my papa told me things are, like, at least a bit better than they were for my grandparents I guess? And I guess we do fine, but a big part of the reason I signed up for the program in the first place was to get a better status for my mama and papa and, like, there is ABSOLUTELY still class dichotomy -”

Nancy cleared her throat and nudged Robin with a saccharine smile “Peanut butter?” she asked sweetly. Robin groaned and flopped back on the hood of the station wagon, taking a giggling Nancy with her. The two wiggled closer, Nancy cuddling under Robins arm, laying her head on Robins chest, right below her collarbone. Robin gave a big sigh and continued, “Right. Peanut butter. So in the Union, sometimes, advertisements from America would leak in. I’m sure it was counter-propaganda from the west. Obviously. But I kept hearing and seeing advertisements for something called ‘Reeses Peanut Butter Cups’“

Nancy hid her face in Robins chest so that the other girl could only feel the laugh and not hear it. “Robin you sounded like an old timey news reporter when you said that...” she teased, kissing the exposed clavicle available to her. Robin huffed indignantly.

“That’s literally exactly how they said it in the broadcast! ‘Reeses Peanut Butter Cups’“ she repeated officially, “It was the first English phrase I learned!” this statement only sent Nancy into a fit of giggles.

“Listen, it’s hard enough doing an Indiana accent for a language I only just learned four years ago, okay? That’s just exactly how I heard it, I repeated that so many times I must have driven my parents crazy.” she reasoned, throwing her hands across their fields of vision. “I was really proud of how American I sounded when I did that!”

“Do you want me to finish?”

“Please, I’m dying to know what you think of ‘Reeses Peanut Butter Cups’“ Nancy giggled mercilessly. Robin groaned and squeezed her girlfriend tighter.

“Okay Miss America, what you need to know is that ‘Reeses Peanut Butter Cups’ royally fucked up the concept of peanut butter for me, okay? It’s a complete tragedy.” She pouted down at Nancy who rewarded her with a small kiss. “Thank you. It was really hard.” she said seriously before looking back at the sky.

“The thing about this misconception is that, when I came to America, I saw Peanut Butter just... there. In the store. There was so much of it! And different kinds of Peanut Butter? I was being extremely careful with my ‘American Parents’ and I refused to beg. I wasn’t great with the American accent or language either so I said...’ Robin paused for effect, ‘Pyee-nyut butterrr?’ her ‘r’s rolled ridiculously as she exaggerated her accent.

“You would not believe how fast this woman slapped the absolute shit out of me! I promise no one else heard what I said but блять I saw stars.”

Nancy cooed sympathetically, tightening her hold and pressing a sweet kiss to the underside of Robins jaw.

“But that’s not why I hate peanut butter. She did buy me a whole can of Peter Pan Peanut Butter” her eyes had gone soft, her mind transported to the memory of her turning the key on the tin can to open it, the pure smell of ‘peanut’ hitting her nose for the first time. Nancy looked into her face, awestruck, counting the constellations reflected in her gaze and the untold depths to her freckles.

“It wasn’t sweet and it tasted like shit.”

The moment shattered like a wine glass on a concrete floor, so abrupt and unexpected that Nancy forgot that the whole point of this story was that Robin  hated peanut butter. What? She was suddenly inconsolable, stricken by giggles and heaving for breaths as she rolled away from her partner, unable to even pretend she could remain in that beautiful moment.

“Nancy oh my god!!!” she heard Robin squeal between panting laughter, “It wasn’t that funny! Calm down!“ Nancy felt arms pulling her up and into a stringy embrace, felt puffs of laughter on her cheeks and kisses on her nose as she laughed and laughed. She allowed herself to be pulled down from the hood of the car onto the grassy hillside, rolling and laughing, tears leaking from her eyes as she imagined a baby Robin Buckley grabbing a whole spoonful of peanut butter and just absolutely gagging.

After laughing and giggling and exchanging more soft kisses, Nancy looked at Robin with determination.

“I’m going to get you to like Peanut Butter if it kills me, Robin Buckley.”

Jancy Academic Rivals AU thoughts

Based on this post. I have spent all day thinking about it and here's what I have so far

1996 Maine

Robin is Nancy’s roommate 

Argyle is Jonathan’s roommate (I personally love the idea that Argyle is secretly rich)

Steve is also Jonathan & Argyle's roommate but he's never home so Jonathan goes like 3 weeks before ever seeing him in their dorm

Nancy’s best subjects are Chemistry, English, and Polisci-Debate

Jonathan’s best subjects are English, Polisci-Debate, Art, and Latin

Jonathan is from Hawkins and was friendish with Nancy but moved to Montauk, NY when he was like 7 so Nancy doesn’t remember him 

He remembers her bc of course he does 

Nancy is class president because she’s top of the class and is in charge of touring students around campus

Nancy begged her parents to send her here at the age of like 13 and she’s been there since

Jonathan is just now transferring in as a junior and a scholarship student

Jonathan applied because he wants to go to The National School of Photography in France or the Rhode Island School of Design 

While touring Jonathan Nancy makes an off comment about how that’s essentially a waste of an education and how she went to Paris over the summer

Jonathan is understandably annoyed because his assumptions that everyone at the school is going to be nothing but spoiled, pompous rich kids are proving true 

He’s also annoyed she does not remember him at all (but never brings up that they sort of know each other bc awkward)

So he asks in a snippy way what she plans to do and she tells him she's going to go to Oxford to study Journalism and he asks how that’s any better

They are very much giving pretentious and just another suburban girl in their initial introductions

Jonathan resolves to attempt to ignore her as much as possible which is very difficult because he has a crush (He may think she's ambitious and overly competitive but she's also gorgeous and wasn't mean about him being a scholarship student)

Anyways one night while looking for somewhere to smoke Jonathan & Argyle find Nancy, Robin, and Steve breaking into the school pool for a late-night swim/hang out (Picture s1 pool scene minus the murder and st*ncy scene)

And naturally, our intrepid little art hoe takes photos 

Nancy finds out and gets even madder at him because if anyone else found out she’d be in trouble and it could ruin her reputation

THEN as though all of that wasn’t enough Jonathan corrects Nancy’s Math error in class and she gets pissed 

Because she’s right she's always right (except this time)

And Jonathan teasingly offers to tutor her if she needs it 

Thus academic rivalry is born

Nancy is pissed because Jonathan’s Advanced Latin class counts as more credit. Jonathan is pissed because Nancy is so much better at Chemistry.

Nancy tries to transfer into Latin for the extra credit, and Jonathan tries to transfer out of Chemistry because he's better at Earth Sciences (Jonathan isn't successful and Nancy does transfer in but she's completely lost)

It gets to the point where the whole school knows that these two are just insane and trying to one-up each other 

Their polisci-debate class is just the two of them arguing over various issues (not that they necessarily disagree but they both approach issues with different viewpoints i.e. gender v class in s3) while the class watches

And the sexual tension is BAD which Nancy knows and hates because she’s mad enough he can challenge her academically but then he’s also hot??? (Robin is unrelenting until Nancy finally admits to thinking that Jonathan is hot but Nancy insists nothing is going to happen)

Jonathan is lowkey-highkey dying inside from the tension but he’s thriving in teasing Nancy over academics (Argyle thinks he's crazy over this and can't figure out why they won't just do hanky panky)

Argyle and Robin end up bonding and forming the “Jonathan & Nancy just make out already club” which they definitely treat like a skull and crossbones-ish secret society

Steve is also an unwilling member

This leads to Jonathan & Nancy having to hang out more outside of class because of their roommates 

This also leads to Nancy buying Jonathan a new lens for his camera ( I don’t think she’d get him a whole new camera) for his birthday (I HC his birthday as October 10th) and he feels guilty because it’s too nice of a gift 

So to "pay her back" he makes a mixtape for her (Purely platonic he assures Argyle. Can you believe she doesn't know The Cure?) (He def puts Just Like Heaven & Friday I'm in Love on it though)

And maybe on Halloween Nancy and Jonathan end up at a party in the woods behind the school and maybe he lets her borrow his sweater because she’s cold 

And maybe he walks her back to her dorm after this party because she’s been drinking a little (not like blacked out though) and there’s allegedly a bear in the woods (Jonathan might also be high and a little paranoid)

On the walk home, he finally reveals that they went to elementary together.

Plot Twist Nancy did remember him but she was still holding a grudge because he disappeared without saying goodbye

Jonathan then apologizes and makes a big deal about saying goodnight to her 

She returns his sweater a couple days later and everyone starts gossiping about why she had it and Nancy retreats after this 

But then it all comes to a head when their Polisci-Debate professor (Murray) assigns them to be partners on a research article (because he knows) 

One minute they’re whisper-arguing in the library and then Jonathan kisses her 

Nancy kisses him back 

They are hot and heavy making out in the stacks until the librarian catches them

They have to talk their way out of detention 

Then they go up to Nancy's room (because Robin is in Jonathan's with Steve & Argyle) and share a bed

They don’t tell anyone though (again Murray knows) because they don’t want to give them the satisfaction

They continue business as usual then one night over Thanksgiving break Robin, Argyle, and Steve catch them holding hands as they’re walking back from the woods and are like “busted”

Steve owes Robin money 

They still continue the academic rivalry part though because Jonathan knows Nancy likes the competition and he’s happy to indulge her 

They end up tying for the top of the class at the end of the semester effectively ending Nancy’s streak. 

I am attempting to write this as a full fic but I cannot write fanfic to save my life so if someone wants to take this plot bunny be my guest (just tag me when you're done)

#I am attempting to write it but I feel like so far it's not great #we'll see #Somewhere in a cross between Anne of Green Gables Dead Poets Society The Secret History and an indie movie called Strike! is this #Did I change the time setting to the 90s purely based on Vibes and that Jonathan needs Nirvana? Yes Yes I did #Also because I think Nancy deserves to listen to The Cranberries #also because Dark Academia is the mid-90s in my brain I don't make the rules here #Do not ask me where Steve & Robin are from it's not hawkins maybe it's Chicago #In this fic they've had to go to the same boring rich people parties for years and that's why they're besties #Also I feel like they def stumble into a rabbit in the woods which gets Jonathan talking in the first place #And then he opens up about how much he misses his brother and Nancy says she has a brother the same age and Jonathan says I know and reveal #stranger things #jancy #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #academic rivals AU

"He stared at her black and blue neck, rage boiling inside him once more. How dare he… handle her like livestock. There was no respect in his attack. She was a speck to him. Even he killed Chika with some element of ceremony. And yet, Sakura… wanted Sasuke home, even after all he had done. Sasori was once again reminded of why it was so easy for her to take him under her wing last autumn… “You said that mercy is useless,” Sakura replied, catching Sasori’s attention once more. He looked back up at her, his doll eyes reflective and gentle. He did believe that… “Your mercy saved me,” he admitted, speaking slowly."

Having AUs of my AUs is so fun because this point it just feels like I’m a fan of my own creations

#I have different versions of a twdg oc in an au #I created it when I was 13 #so the basic template of the oc is that they’re nick’s younger sibling who got separated from him at the beginning #and this oc has been his much younger brother who’s the same age as clem #a little bit older than her so he’s like an older brother but still young #a bit younger than nick so he’s like a much older brother or uncle figure #and sometimes the oc is a girl and nick’s sister instead #it’s varies based on how I feel #but it’s so funny that I’ve made so many different versions #his name is ethan #ocs #original characters #alternate universe #AU #fanfiction

I really like the Thenamesh Actor prompts so I have a request!

Gil always makes sure that Thena is comfortable in interviews . So what if on their new movie both of them and Eros are in a interview and throughout Eros, out of jealousy and frustration of their incredible chemistry (and because he can’t get closer to Thena) he says something humiliating disguised as jokes about Gil. Gil being polite just laughs about it but Thena can clearly see how uncomfortable his jokes/humiliations makes him and how awfully quiet he slowly gets and Thena (you know the goddes of war clearly) protects him!

"Gil!" Thena chastised, although she was laughing a bit hard for it to sound like she meant it. "Stop it!"

The whole panel had been like this. They were doing one of the first interviews with all of them assembled as a cast, but Gil and Thena had been thus far dominating the interview. It wasn't odd - they were technically the leads of the film - but it was hard to get answers between their whispering things to each other and joking and laughing.

Eros couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"What?" Gil chuckled along with her, nudging her next to him. "It's true! I was a huge fan of yours before we met!"

"Speak for yourself," she smiled at him, leaning her head against her hand. "I've stated plenty of times that I've seen a good number of your films."

"Have you seen all of them?"

"I think it would be quite impossible to see all of them," she shook her head, pulling her attention back to the audience of press interviewing them. "But I was shown some of his early work and I suppose I was hooked from there."

"Likewise," Gil jumped in next, wiggling his thumb between them, although it brushed against her forearm, their chairs being so close that their armrests were actually touching. "I've always thought about what it might be like to work with her."

"Eros, this is actually your first time working with both of them, isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah," he mumbled, sitting forward in his seat, finally with some opportunity to speak. "I've never worked with Gil before, and I've only ever worked on the same project as Thena once or twice. I've never had the immense privilege to work opposite her."

The audience was obliging in his flattery. Eros looked down the long table's white cloth, only to find he wasn't actually being listened to--at least not by a certain leading lady.

Gil was listening, looking down the line at Eros. But from his viewpoint, Eros could see very clearly, that Thena wasn't looking at him. She was looking at Gilgamesh.

Eros cleared his throat, "he really is great to work with, stunt-wise."

Gil waved off Eros' kindness with a bashful smile, toying with his microphone in his hands. Thena poked him, urging him to accept the well-deserved compliment. He caught her poking index finger with his pinky. "I'm not union or anything. But I've been doing my own stunts long enough that I guess I like to offer my advice when I can."

"Right, I heard about a rather nasty spill," Eros tilted his head down at the older actor. "You know, there's no shame in needing a double as time goes on."

He said it lightly--with enough of a laugh in his voice for it to appear friendly. The audience chuckled obligingly.

Thena was not laughing. "That was a very serious incident."

Gil caught onto the tone in her voice immediately and smiled, "i-it wasn't that bad, really-"

"And it was an equipment malfunction," she added with even more of a bite to it. The tone in the room shifted quickly, of course at Thena's protest and not at the original joke cracked at Gil's expense. But she glared at the head of the table. "Gil does his own stunts when it makes more sense to for the filming process. He's just that sweet and considerate of people."

"Of course!" the original asker of the question jumped in, hoping to save the atmosphere of the interview as a whole. "His fans were quite distressed to learn of his injury."

"Not your first, right?" Eros asked, his thin veil of asking out of kindness growing thinner and thinner.

"Well, yeah, it happens," Gil shrugged, either not catching onto Eros' attacks or choosing to let them roll off him. "Can't always avoid little accidents here and there. The fans who have followed my career know this is far from my first set injury, and far from the worst, too."

"I've heard about them," Thena added vaguely, always vigilant about not giving the press too much exposure to Sprite. "And he's always back to work as soon as possible--far too dedicated to his work."

Gil was immediately looking at Thena again, smiling and chatting with her as if they were the only ones in the room (and just happened to be holding microphones). "As if she didn't learn flawless Russian for her summer action blockbuster from a few years ago?"

"Gil," she gave him that little headshake again, like a wife scolding her husband for embarrassing her.

"I mean flawless," Gil insisted, though, grinning as the praise for her spewed from him like a fountain. "I'm no expert, but I've seen accent coaches and other actors react to it, and they all say it's perfect--just like her."

The audience gasped and 'ooh'ed and giggled like children.

Thena blushed, "far too sweet."

"I remember that film, it was," Eros paused, leaning over further to give Thena a look that she was sure his hordes of fangirls loved. He raised a brow at her, "magnificent."

"Thena, have you followed any of Eros' work?"

"I can't say I have," she answered a little too quickly and eagerly.

"Well, you have a younger sister, right? What about-"

"No," she snapped, and was joined by Gil in glaring at the interviewer who either hadn't been informed that she didn't answer questions about her sister or had ignored it.

Eros ran a hand through his very famous hair, leaning back in his chair.

"But," Thena smiled again, her eyes drifting beside her (what a surprise). "She is a fan of Gil's."

#Thenamesh Actors AU #Thena isn't here for it #also I haven't really listened to the boy talk much in real life #outside of that particularly...bonkers interview in Venice #so forgive me #also I say boy as if we aren't the same age but whatever #he is The Boy #because Thena needs a man named Gilgamesh #this is somewhat based on a comment I saw #that I haven't verified so I don't know if it's true #but someone might have asked her if her kids were a fan of harry's? #and she was like who? no but let me tell you about Ma Dong-Seok #Sprite is livestreaming this interview #and now makes it her mission to save all the videos #and supercut edits of Thena and Gil flirting #to annoy and embarrass her sister into confessing

Ensign Au where Tuvok’s always in sickbay for the stupidest little injuries out of an “abundance of caution” but he always has some excuse for why T’Pel specifically should take a look at it instead of the Doctor “she and I share the same physiology; it is only logical” and somehow even after she says he can go they end up talking quietly in a corner to one another until the Doctor snaps at them to get back to work. Also if sickbay is busy that day you can see Tuvok step in, assess the situation, then leave. Later the doctor asks if he needed something and Tuvok says no. “Then why did you go to sickbay?” “Routine security rounds.”

#st voyager ensign au #'ensign au' (senior team and junior team are age swapped - Doctor remains the same as he has no 'age') #and also T'Pel is there bc I make the rules #Tuvok is sustaining sooo many minor hand-based injuries and T'Pel is tending to them sooo thoroughly...does it hurt when she presses here? #here?? -looking deeply into each other's eyes. The EMH is rolling his eyes SO hard- #Tuvok pricks his finger while gardening and before anyone can even ask him what's wrong he's already speed walking to sickbay #<- Ensign Tuvok hates his job bc he's in his Ensign POV...like the same Ensign Tuvok we see on the show in Flashback #so he's not particularly motivated to do it well...was planning to quit after this one last mission but had the bad luck of being on VOYAGER #Tuvok/T'Pel #idk what to tag this as #Tuvok #T'Pel #st voyager

Even though my agent 8 is the same age as Marina, I like to think off the hook sort of adopts her to help her adjust to the culture shock of being in Inkopolis. Pearl is becoming a total pro at making confused Octo gals feel right at home at this point, so even though Hachibana isn’t exactly cut out to be a band member, she at least starts to see a bit of what Marina sees in inkling culture. Pearl’s hoodie is, as the squids say, “fresh”. Not to mention extremely comfortable. She hopes Pearl doesn’t mind letting her borrow it for a bit longer….

—-

I just think it’s really, really cute that the amiibos let you wear Pearl and Marina’s casual clothes. It’s just a game mechanic, but it just seems like such a sweet gesture to loan a hoodie to a new homie.

#agent 8 #splatoon oc #Splatoon 2 #octo expansion #this isn’t ship art bc I see off the hook having a platonic relationship with eight #even in this semi-AU where she’s 18 #i think canon agent 8 is probably a minor but I kinda roll with my own lore on the agents’ ages and such #mainly bc child soldier trope is lame and it’s much funnier if they’re adults imo #hachibana is still small but it’s bc she’s based on a blue ringed octopus #kinda like how Pearl is small bc she’s a Princess squid #she’s the same size as the player model Pearl is just standing on a ledge #I didn’t have time to draw it bc I was just dong this doodle between classes #marmon hachibana
