Do you know whats “shipping”? If yes how do you feel with people shipping you with others?
... I mean, atleast I pull!
(Happy valentines day!)
(I'm so so so sorry that everything's taking so long! I'm really trying my best to get Duncan to answer all of your questions in time, i hope you understand!)
World Tour Assistant Noah AU (where he is always an assistant):
After the gross kiss failed to stop Alejandro's flirting... Noah begs Duncan to convince Alejandro, that Noah is too dorky to date... but Duncan has an even better idea; make Alejandro jealous for fun!
(In this AU, Duncan and Courtney had broken up before Season 3, so Duncan isn't a cheater!)
Duncan: "Thanks for letting me return to the show, handsome.~" 😘
(Duncan kisses Assistant Noah's cheek.)
Alejandro: "Duncan, I will DESTROY you!" 😡
Noah: "I just want to be left alone!" 🙄
Wait hold on... hold on... this is just the premise of my favourite Dunnoah fic series but with an assistant Noah twist. And extra Alenoah flavouring. That's not to say I'm against the idea.
Though I can't really imagine Duncan ever committing himself to flirting with Noah unless the two had struck up a deal prior- Duncan's that specific brand of 2000s era bigoted where being seen as anything but straight is a social crime (despite the fact that Duncan is definitely a boykisser, just in denial), but he's also aware of just how much of a threat Alejandro is in the competition and the latino's huge obvious crush on Chris' personal assistant, so I think Duncan could push aside his own internal biases to at the very least propose a similar idea to Noah.
Really, it'd be beneficial for the both of them; Noah gets to subtly-not-so-subtly tell Alejandro to back off by responding to Duncan's advances but not his, and Duncan gets to rile up Alejandro enough to redivert his attention away from the competition itself thus increasing his own chances of winning. It's strategic, really, nothing more.
It's that line of logic that has Noah eventually conceding that, for all intents and purposes, it's a good plan. So he deigns to play along, at least for a little bit, just to get Alejandro off of his back.
And, canonically, they're both shown to be at least half-decent at flirting, so whatever displays they have planned to annoy Alejandro would be just convincing enough to really get under his skin. Especially since Alejandro's shown in canon to be the protective/possessive type (mostly in All-Stars, in how he reacts to José insulting Heather) and likely wouldn't take too kindly to Duncan swooping in on "his amor" or whatever Spanish nickname he'd substitute it with.
Which all eventually leads to the scenario you proposed; Duncan plants a wet one on Noah's cheek and Alejandro sees red.
Noah's already exhausted by default, but feels weariness seep into the marrow of his bones as a seething Alejandro glares poisonous daggers towards Duncan, who's committed enough to their little ruse to in turn shoot a wink and a pair of finger guns towards the assistant. Deciding that he isn't paid nearly enough to deal with the inevitable confrontation between the two idiots who've apparently taken an interest in him (Duncan's, of course, being a known ruse), Noah leaves to go and do his actual job.
...
And then, Alejandro confronts Duncan directly in the Economy cabin, claiming that he doesn't deserve to so much as look at Noah, and that he (Alejandro) was the one Noah kissed and therefore the object of his attraction so Duncan better lay off. This is news to the punk, and adds a whole new layer of complexity to their plan. And perhaps something he can later exploit to give himself a leg up in the competition.
But why does the idea of Noah kissing Alejandro make his chest tighten up with envy?
And then maybe Duncan finds the untamed passion of Alejandro's genuine fury kind of hot and he too enters the metaphorical boxing ring of feelings? Aledunnoah endgame? The intern server has been posting a lot of Aleduncan lately so letting those two get together (and with Noah in there too, as a bonus) just seems natural to my brain at this point.
feel free not to answer if this isn't allowed, but did you make a decision on whether duncan is staying for the time being? every time i see pictures of him i go 'ah, duncan! :D :D' and then remember... :(
There are no immediate plans to euthanize Duncan. There never really were, I just wanted to give an update and let people know how things were progressing. He does seem better since increasing his seizure medication.
I say this not to worry anyone or to be cynical but just in a realistic way: Duncan is on borrowed time. He has been for a long time, frankly. For now he seems good, but that’s not to say I won’t have to euthanize him next month. There’s just really no way of estimating how / when things will progress for him. I definitely don’t foresee it being next week, but I try to remain realistic with my sick cats. And being realistic with Duncan is saying that I have no idea how soon it will be time.
what do i do if (hypothetically ofc) my girlfriend framed me for a crime she did (the crime being stealing from the nearby small bank hypothetically) and now the police wont leave me alone (pls answer fast)
if you had to choose one person (that isn’t like.. Owen or Alejandro or one of his actual friends) to ship with p!noah, who would it be and why?
Uh.
Duncan. They stab each other to show affection, it's very gay and romantic. Another win for toxic yaoi. The AUs already got a lot of interaction between the two, mostly wherein Noah scares the daylights out of Duncan, and at one point literally scars him, so there's already a basis for some kind of dynamic there. Duncan's also a fairly even match for Noah ability-wise, given they're both chaotic and self-servient characters more interested in their own goals/entertainment than other's opinions of them. They'd enable each other to an unhealthy degree, and I think the two of them would probably end up trying to out-do each other in a game of "who can commit the worst atrocity (and get away with it)". Or maybe Duncan would fumble his was through being someone else's moral compass for a change, as opposed to the person in need of one. To varying results.
If not him, then maybe Heather? I dived into their potential relationship in a previous ask briefly, but I think a romance between these two could work. Heather's cutthroat enough to deal with p!Noah's shenanigans and audacious enough to keep him from getting bored. Plus, I think the two of them would have a mutual respect for their game plans; Heather would know just how hard it is to maintain a persona for the sake of the game since she initially tried to play herself off as a nice person at the beginning of Island (and failed miserably), and Noah would appreciate Heather's underhanded tactics and proclivity towards sabotage since she always keeps the competition interesting with her interferences. That respect could easily blossom into genuine appreciation and/or feelings towards each other.
If not Heather, then perhaps even Gwen. I think she and him could have a Morticia and Gomez Addams type deal going on, especially if she gets to be as mischievous as she was in Island (i.e. her red ant farm prank). Though I'm a little hesitant to give Gwen yet another romance plot in any of my AUs. She's been through enough of that drama.
Or maybe Harold? There's definitely some sort of dynamic there, since Harold spends a lot of time trailing after Noah at the Playa. He has his suspicions/knows Noah's deal (but can't convince anyone else that his very valid concerns are warranted) and Noah's torn between wanting to eviscerate Harold on the spot for being so annoying and relishing in having such an easy target for his various pranks and schemes. They could have a fun Tom and Jerry type deal, potentially.
I don't know. Noah's a very shippable character, thanks in part to just how vague and easily malleable his characterisation (and therefore his character dynamics with others) is, and that extends to p!Noah. In theory you could ship him with anyone you want to.
He got bit by a tarantula (he’s not Spider-Man though)
Unlike normal spiders tarantulas actually don’t spin webs to trap insects instead they hunt like most animals they still spin silk they just don’t make webs.
Duncan can make silk through his wrists (like Spider-Man) and he also has neurotoxic venom in his fangs that paralyze and then dissolves whoever gets a lethal dose!!
(How does it feel to get your first ever fan design for an au? /lh)
(Also if you recognize the pose, no you don’t /j) (it’s from the honey I’m home mv by ghost n pals)
MUTANT SPIDER BOY AYEEEEEEE!!!!!!
I think he'd get along GREAT with alejandro from The Mutant Facility!
I'd hate to get bit by either of them
What character(s) do you think are the most underrated in your fandoms?
I feel like this was really easy for one fandom and very hard for another. I will start with the easy one!
BATFAM:
There are three characters that I think are the most underrated in the Batfamily. Not to say these characters get no attention. However, I believe they could always use more.
Anyways, my choices are Duke Thomas, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown.
Oftentimes, when I look up Batfam, they are the most left out. I even read an article on the batkids, and Duke wasn't there! I love Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian as much as the next person. However, I wish batfam focused more on the whole clan. No hate, though. It is just my opinion.
THE MIGHTY DUCKS
I don't know if any of the Ducks are underrated. They seem to all get their fair share of love. However, there are four that I think need more. That would be Dwayne Robertson, Kenny Wu, Luis Mendoza, and Tammy Duncan. Sometimes, I feel like the movies didn't know what to do with these three put of their one quirk that put them on the team.
Now, it is super hard to focus on all the Ducks when you are drawing or writing. I think altogether in the three movies, there are 19 Ducks. However, I would love to see more stuff with them. Especially Tammy, I really developed a lot of love for her character when I started writing her. She is one of the lady Ducks and should be noticed. Again, no hate, just my opinion.
Thank you so much for this ask! I really appreciate it! 💛💛
