Somehow, the Carmen Sandiego brainrot has taken hold even though I haven't watched an episode in months (no idea how that happened). So, how's about some headcanons? (feel free to play with any or all if they strike your fancy)
-- Carmen's room in headquarters has two wall clocks, one set to San Diego time and one to Ontario because
-- Player has a veritable army of cousins. Carmen never got a straight number because just when she thinks she's got them down, he'll offhandedly mention someone having a baby or something; quite honestly, he can't keep track either.
-- Carmen is nearly hopeless with numbers. Time zones, exchange rates, converting to imperial units when she's in the U.S., she never got the hang of any of it and has learned to just consult Player.
-- "Okay, that guy at the front desk said I'm ten miles from the Grand Canyon. How many-" "Sixteen, Red. Keep an eye out, it's easy to miss." "Very funny."
-- It drove the Faculty absolutely nuts that their 'golden opportunity' is math-stupid; they chalked it up to something she got from her mother's side.
-- It's not. Dexter Wolfe was just *that* good at hiding his dyscalculia.
-- The one math-y thing she can do is card counting, a key component of being an incorrigible cheat at board/card games. Because she will cheat at anything and everything.
-- Seriously, one time Zach and Ivy found an old Candyland game (just lying around the warehouse, don't ask) and Carmen, who had never seen the game in her life, positively trounced them.
-- They just *know* she has to be cheating but can't prove it.
-- Ivy, bewildered, to Carmen's cat-that-got-the-canary face: "How does someone cheat at Candyland?!?" She's just that good.
-- Whenever Shadowsan plays her in cards, it takes all of two minutes for the game to devolve from 'whatever they were supposed to be playing' to 'who's better at sleight of hand.' Not that he condones cheating, mind, but if Carmen's going to, well, he's not just going to let her get away with that.
-- Carmen as a kid was a very picky eater (her adventurous spirit not extending to the culinary world); the Faculty was as helpful as you'd expect.
-- "Dammit, Saira, I told you to quit trying to feed her that rice!" "Well I need someone to taste test-" (absolutely no sense of taste on Saira; lab accident, we don't talk about it) "-and you certainly haven't volunteered. Besides, this newest formula is fortified with three essential vitamins and minerals (at least, I think they're essential), which is more than those sweets you keep plying her with." "At least she eats those!"
-- Ivy and Zach are high school dropouts, figuring they could get ahead better with racing than with academics. As part of joining ACME they get their GED's (since they require *at least* a high school diploma) and the whole team (plus Chase and Julia) help out and are so proud when they pass.
-- The first thing Carmen always does in the morning, something that doesn't change post-series, is call Player. It's also the last thing she does before turning in at night. She can't imagine being any other way, and neither can he. (crud, they're just the bestest friends, I love them so much)

Do you ever just think about how Zach and ivy could've been vile agents?
Like they fit the bill alright, orphaned, desperate, and without any money
Just think, if they didn't decide to go into racing, they could've became one of viles elite operatives working alot like the mechanic and the driver, ivy would've been saira bellums protégé and Zach would've been cleos.
They most likely would've even met blacksheep at some point too.
Idk I've just been thinking about this alot idk.
Tumblr media
To think these little cuties could've been vile operatives 😭
Im glad carmen got to them before vile.

Mime Bomb x GN Reader
~700 words
((It's been a while since I've written anything so I hope yall like it!))
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mime Bomb and yourself were currently on a mission in Istanbul. The mission was to infiltrate the Topkapi Palace Museum and take the Spoonmaker's diamond. It was an extremely rare piece of jewelry, being the fourth largest diamond of its kind, and Countess Cleo couldn't possibly allow something like this to be out of her grasp. Usually, it would be any other pair to be the ones going on a mission like this. But the faculty had a bit of a meeting and figured that Mime Bomb and yourself don't really get too many opportunities together out on the field. So out the two of you were on your plane to Istanbul.
Now, you were sitting on the edge of the bed in the nice hotel you two were staying in until it was time to go forth with the mission. The museum had been scouted earlier in the day, so the two of you were just killing time. Mime Bomb was miming something about his last mission. You were getting better at interpreting his charades lately, since he's usually pretty chatty around you more than anyone else on the team.
As he continued on, you kinda noticed something. 'Man, has he been wearing gloves this entire time?' you internally wondered. Now that you think about it, you don't remember the last time you've seen his hands outside of his gloves. Back at V.I.L.E, you were usually asleep by the time he took his makeup off since he normally stayed patrolling the halls. Honestly, it was such an odd thing to focus on, but you suppose you zoned out too hard because when you started paying attention again, Mime Bomb was staring right at you, eyebrow raised suspiciously. He then approached and sat beside you on the bed, giving a questioning thumbs up.
"Y-yeah, I'm okay! Sorry, I guess I'm just having a moment," you giggled, leaning back. He gestured, wondering if you'd like to talk about it. You pondered on it for a moment, genuinely considered asking him. After all, would it be such an odd request? He stared, waiting for any sort of answer from you.
"Is it alright if I see your hands?" you asked, earning even more of a confused look from the poor man's face. But he complied anyways, holding his white-gloved hands out to you. "Oh- no, I mean... Can I see your hands without your gloves on? Sorry, I'm just really curious all of a sudden."
This time he was a bit taken aback. Again, this wasn't really that strange of an ask, but no one really asked this of him before. He nodded, carefully pulling the fingers of his gloves before removing them entirely. You took his hands in your own and inspected them with cautious wonder. He actually had very nice-looking hands. A thumb swipe across his palms revealed his hands to be extremely soft. You turned them over to reveal short but healthy-looking nails.
Your eyes moved up from his hands to his face, and you were almost shocked at how you didn't notice how visibly teal his irises were. At this point, the mime was blushing. You couldn't see it on his face given the paint, but the tips of his ears were definitely red.
"Sorry, I.. hm..." You pulled your hands away, reconducting yourself. "You have really nice hands. A-and your eyes are really pretty too. I guess I just never noticed it before."
He beamed, grinning basically from ear to ear and covering his cheeks. He'd probably be kicking his legs too if his feet weren't already planted on the floor while he sat. You successfully managed to fluster the mime. And little did you know, he was actually quite grateful for your compliments. The only thing he was normally complimented on was his miming, or his general ability to stay quiet under any circumstances. It was nice to be complimented about himself for once and not what he can do, and he guessed it was something he never noticed he needed until now. He leaned in and gave you a great big hug. It wasn't something you expected, but you hugged back anyways, happy to make him happy anytime.

The Lady Lazarus Caper
The thing about discovering your new and exciting ability to self-resurrect is that first you must endure the trouble that is dying. Carmen is managing well.

GONE WRONG
(DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANNA BE TOO SPOILED FOR THE FANFIC OF CARMEN SANDIEGO SEASON 5)
The drive back home to the headquarters was silent. Spinkick and Flytrap looked at eachother, noticing how quiet Amaryllis has been with disappointment probably stirring up inside of him.
The trio got out of the car. Amaryllis slams the car door shut, making the other two flinch slightly. They walk back into the headquarters, Amaryllis sat at his designated desk.
Tumblr media
“What…The Heck.”
The two looked at him,
“What the heck…was that?!” He scolds them. “It was the perfect time to screw her up! To finally destroy her, and yet you two idiots decided to let her go?!” He slams his fists down the table, startling the two again!
Even so, Spinkick decided to speak. “Amaryllis…We’re—“
“Not sorry.” Spinkick’s eyes widened as Flytrap interrupts him, glaring at Amaryllis. Amaryllis squints his eyes, “What? Not sorry that you ruined the thing we worked the hardest for?! You two could have gotten yourself harmed and back to prison!”
Spinkick hugged himself tightly, but nevertheless, he took a deep breath in. “Litz, you know what..?” He took a step closer, towering over his teammate. “Yeah. To be honest, we’re not sorry.”
Amaryllis frowned and furrowed his brows, he looked down at the floor, and then back at Spinkick. “I thought you guys would help me! You are my family! I—“
“Yes, we wanted to destroy Carmen as well, but deep down, all we ever wanted was to be a family! With you, Amaryllis!” Spinkick yelled with deep, sorrowful passion in his voice.
“W—We wanted…to be a part of a family. Not to destroy someone else’s. And it’s…clearly hurting the both of us.” Flytrap looked at him, clearly concerned and stressed.
Amaryllis, who ran out of words to say, looked at the both of them. Sadness fueled him, but not as fast as anger did. Not as fast as the rage that reached his throat.
“THEN LEAVE! If I’m really hurting you this much, why don’t you just go?!”
“Amaryllis!—“
“GO AWAY!” He turned away, a lump forming in his throat. “I can’t let you guys stay with me if all you’ll do is put yourself in danger.. I honestly can’t focus with you two acting like total idiots.” He murmured, walking silently to his room.
Spinkick and Flytrap looked at eachother. Flytrap cupped Spinkick’s teary eyed, red face…She wipes a tear away with her thumb. “Let’s go somewhere, okay…?” She whispers.
“I wanna tell her…”
“Okay.” Flytrap answered.
On the other hand, Amaryllis was enraged…He hinted a clue to where the next heist would be.
The next heist, Carmen appeared to the meeting place...It was a dark, and lightless place…that was until a green electric spark lit the darkness…a crackle rod.
“You…” Amaryllis growled lowly, looking at Carmen with his angriest eyes. “You took them away from me…”
“Let me guess. You’re not here to steal? You’re getting real predictable nowadays…” Carmen smirked.
“Oh? Then if I’m so predictable you should already be prepared…BECAUSE IM GONNA KILL YOU!”
Amaryllis charged towards Carmen, but Carmen stood still.
“I AM prepared.”
Suddenly, Spinkick and Flytrap jumped right in front of Carmen, stopping Amaryllis in his tracks.
“You…You two…betrayed me…” Amaryllis whimpered, his hands shaking a little. He felt his heart sink, and the lump in his throat reform.
“W—Well then…that just means I have nothing left to lose..”
He stammered, powering up the crackle rod to it’s highest, directing it right in front of them..all he had to do was shoot…
The two were scared, Amaryllis could strike any moment now, and they wouldn’t know how to dodge.
..
….
No strike yet?…
Tears formed in Amaryllis’s eyes…his hands kept shaking, he couldn’t, he just couldn’t do it…Not to them. Why couldn’t he do it?…
The crackle rod slips out of his hands, as tears streamed down his face..
What should he do now?…he felt so much. Embarrassed, betrayed, afraid, sad, angry…he just feels…
frozen.

Comfortember Day 14: Late Night Phone Calls (A Carmen Sandiego ficlet)
Because I read the prompt list and instantly realized it would be a crime to let ^this prompt^ go by with nobody writing anything for our favorite master thief and hacker. 😊
+++
“…and I said that I didn’t see how he could without his keys.”
Player clapped a hand over his mouth, forcibly smothering the laugh rolling on his tongue lest he wake his parents. He’d expected chaos of some variety when Zach and Ivy, with their newly-minted ACME mentors Chase and Julia in tow, paid Buenos Aires a visit, but a highly-competitive rock-paper-scissors match between ‘the guys’ over who got to drive back to the airport that culminated in the one who’s license should have probably been revoked back in San Francisco winning?
Yeah, that wasn’t on his bingo card. “So then what happened?”
He could hear Carmen’s smirk. “He spent the next two minutes turning his coat pockets inside out while I tossed Zach his keys.”
Laughter rippled across the midnight shadows spanning the miles between Canada and Argentina, quiet and careful but no less joyous for the consideration of sleeping parents and children (oh to have been a fly on the wall when that happened; or better yet, hacker who wasn’t stuck in a study group). “Hey, Red?” Player said once the laughs had tapered off into an easy silence.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks.”
A chuckle filtered through Player’s phone, along with a faint rustling, and in his mind’s eye he saw her on her mother’s couch, wrapping an arm around afghan-covered knees, the moon catching the playful light frisking in her eyes. “What, stopping Chase from terrorizing the good people of Buenos Aires from behind the wheel?”
“That.” Honestly, it would be far from the least of the public services she’d done. “But also…you know, this.”
“There’s no one I’d rather talk to, Player,” Carmen said, the smirk softening into something gentler most of the world never got to see. “You know that. And that you can call me any time.”
“Yeah, I know, but…” He leaned back against his headboard, staring at the night curling across his ceiling, letting the sounds and comparative calm of ‘the unholy hours,’ now familiar as daylight, wash over him. They didn’t need to do this anymore, what with Carmen’s retirement from being a globetrotting crime-fighter and both of them now being in the same time zone, but years of being an insomniac didn’t disappear overnight, and when a bout struck, well, there had always ever been one thing that helped.
“Not every best friend takes late night phone calls, you know?”
She did.

I need this
I need a juletheif fanfic that's just like them being together during the show, so like chase has no clue carmen and jules are dating and when he finds out he's just like
"So you knew where she was this whole time!"
"Well not necessarily..."
"Why have we been chasing this woman around the globe for months, you could have just told me 'Oh me and le femme Rouge fuck' then I would have just dropped the case but no we have been chasing down your girlfriend for months, MONTHS!"
Listen I'm already writing ghosts background story and writing a juletheif/cleobellum fic at the same time I'd really appreciate it if someone wrote this for me lol

It’s Player Week time, folks!!! Get your gremlin hackers ready!!! @playerappreciationweek
(Written alt prompt 1, "Get ready to rack up more frequent flyer miles!")
Summary:
Coarse ropes bite into Player’s skin, cloth fabric covers his eyes. His bindings are tough, knotted by expert, practiced hands. He’s not the first person they’ve done this to, and if history repeats itself, he will not be the last. Some have escaped, others haven’t, but both were far more skilled than Player. He’s no operative, he’s no trained thief, he’s a tiny, scrawny little hacker, and he’s- “Oh, calm down, Player!” He squawks as an arm wrap around his neck, inhibiting his ability to breathe as his attacker drags him closer. “You’re being so dramatic!” -Been kidnapped. By his own friends.
-- Or, alternatively:
For his nineteenth birthday, all Player wants to do is curl up in bed and sleep. Unfortunately for him, he ends up kidnapped by two overzealous red-heads.
