For this hypothetical, the drinks, plates, and dinnerware are already taken care of, and again, you're not allowed to turn up empty-handed.
Just like in real life, let's hope we won't choose to bring the same thing.

chaotic duo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing(s): dune cast x actor!reader (platonic), oscar isaac x actor!reader
synopsis: requested by this ask!
⤷ alt: even your on-screen son can't deny how delightful his on-screen parents were.
notes: absolutely no shade to jessica ferguson i adore her too much. reader is considered to have fem pronouns. ALSO ive been feeling iffy about trying to write for dune characters?? personally, although i love writing these actor!reader stories, writing for the actual characters i feel would be more challenging. dune's still pretty new to me but i kinda wanna give it a shot if i can make a good storyline T-T
Tumblr media
It all started with the Dune Cast Q&A brought together by Nerdist. Timothee Chalamet and Denis Villeneuve had just finished chatting with the host, Stephen Colbert about their perspectives on Paul's character. Much emphasis had gone on the young actor's performance. And Denis's decision to cast such a well-experienced one.
After finishing up their last question together, Stephen decides to introduce two additional members. "Timothee let's bring out the man and the woman who play your parents, Duke Leto Atreides and Lady Jessica." A transition between screens to display your camera view and Oscar's. He introduces both your names.
"Hi!" You grin at the camera, comfortably leaning against one of the arms of your chair. Similar to everyone else's backdrop, yours was pitch gray, covering all but your silhouette and chair.
"Hey Stephen," Oscar greets at ease, as you proceed to wave to each of the people seen onscreen.
It cuts immediately to the host gesturing in continuation for a question. "Tell me and the audience about Duke Leto Atreides. What do we need to know?"
"He's the father and human. I think that's the biggest thing and uh under incredible pressure to save his family. Save his house but to adapt to this new existential threat situation which is moving to this strange planet," Your fellow costar puts into short. Short and concise was what was expected.
Content with his answer, Stephen moves the attention to you. He calls out your name, eagerly. "Rereading the books uh- right now, I am struck by how much of the story- uh the backstory and the action story is driven by the decisions Lady Jessica makes." A smile grows on your face, knowing how much fun was a character to play for you.
Along his last few words, you find yourself nodding in agreement. "I'm impressed with that you, Stephen actually read the books again!" An instant grin comes from the said man. "But it's all applause to Denny- he highlighted this from the book. In the film, her decisions basically create, fractures and disrupts everything."
"Best parents ever," In a low whisper, Timothee murmurs and the five of you burst into short chuckles and snickers.
"The best you could ever have!" You clapped your hands together, shaking them above your head in victory. And when the screen expands to show everyone's reactions, the audience can noticeably pinpoint Oscar's playful eye-rolling.
Tumblr media
Another fun interview you had the pleasure of sharing was with Grazia UK. It was in a more comfortable setting. With you and Oscar in a lounge room, with the Zoom camera on. While the female interviewer complimenting a kind smile.
"Can I ask you something," Not within a second of the conversation, you rose up with a peculiar question. "Do you remember his beard?" Your costar beside you, looks away in disappointment. Even raising his hand to emphasize his discouraged state.
"A bit yes..."
"Yeah,"
"Yes!"
"Why? It was an impressive beard," Sort of clueless really, the interviewer says, of why you wanted to the topic up.
"Yeah, it was impressive!" Oscar looks back and forth between you and the camera, directing towards the woman on the other side. While you shriveled in embarrassment, leaning your head behind his shoulder, with a few snorts of laughter. "She doesn't even remember if I had a beard or not in the movie! She just saw it."
"Quite a prominent beard!"
"Yes yes, well I can remember so much," You chaste, leaning closer, locking eyes with your costar. Threatening really in a playful way.
"We shot together for a few months! How could you not remember?!" He exclaims, raising both his hands in the air in exasperation. You puff, adorning a pouty-like look.
"I work with what's in front of me," you turn to address the interviewer, pointing at Oscar accusingly. Because much contrast to what he looked months ago, he no longer had that impressive beard. He was clean-shaven, much to your display.
Next to you, Oscar scoffs. "Apparently not!" Bumping shoulders with you as you fought back, poking him many times obnoxiously.
You both later discussed a provoking quote referenced multiple times from Dune posters. Fear is the mind killer. Truly a simple yet intriguing phrase that fitted well with the film. And in generally, you and Oscar compared each others quotes from personal experience.
"I guess you could combine them together," Taking a sip out of your glass, you eyed at Oscar. He hums back and smooths his hands comfortably down his hips.
"It will pass and love prevails!" He cheerfully expresses. Even from afar, the interviewer can notice how much fun you two were having with the question.
"Right and, it plays perfectly with the film," You add onto your little spiel, nodding as you go, "Besides the fact that- you know, fear is the mind killer."
The male actor lets out a long sigh. "Makes you forget how violent the movie is."
On the other side of the screen, the blonde interviewer shrugs her shoulders. "Well- it's only included in small parts in the movie."
It was your turn to hum, dragging out the M sound. "I think maybe the film focusses too much on romance."
A caught off cough comes from Oscar as he tries to his best to dismiss his your sarcastic comment. "I feel like there should've been more of it."
"Really?!" The shot pans to your exaggerated shocked gaze. You then turn to look at the interviewer. "He has no idea how to write a movie." Instantaneously the male actor bursts out laughing, shaking his head back and forth in little denial. Even you couldn't hold it together and giggled a little.
"You play Timothee's parents so spent a lot of time with him. What is the most interesting thing we do not about Timothee Chalamet?" The interviewer prompts, having their arms supported on top the their desk with pure keenness.
Pursing your lips together in concentration, your attention turns towards your partner. "Well coming from me- I mean I don't know if people know this about him or not- but he's very open hearted." Oscar continues, "And me, having to play his father- hence the beard!"
"Ah!" Giving more emphasis, you raised your brow in recollection.
He goes on comparing the analogy of having to play Duke Leto as a powerful leader of a House. Without his people and court, he wouldn't resemble much of an prestige leader. However Oscar later mentions that Timothee's performance was the catalyst to their relationship look authentic. He is young yet incredibly sympathetic towards what's to be done for the film. His time with both of you really sold your relationship as a family, you'd think.
"So that's a very generous thing to do for a young actor. And I was impressed and admired that," In the background, you can be heard mumbling in agreement. Your partner shifts his posture, facing and expecting you to go next.
Licking your lips, you took one last glance at him before focusing strictly at the Zoom camera. "I think for me, to have a young actor like him- he's very driven about it all. When he's on and off screen, Timothee's just focused- he's very serious and concentrates heavily on what Denny says- and I can say I respect that." You punctuate your point, tapping lightly on your knee. "And I play his mother you know, and I try to accommodate with that. I play along and we work until we find a good rhythm with each other." The older woman on the screen seemed enamored by your compliments regarding your costar. Yet her eyes quickly makes it's way to Oscar, sitting quietly and listening to you ramble.
His laidback posture showed how greatly he took your words in. You grab your glass and take a quick sip before hearing him say, "We raised him well." Taking your hand in both of his as a sign of pride.
A delightful chuckle comes from both you and the interviewer while your partner gives a satisfied grin. "We really did!"
Tumblr media
The media did not need proof to know of your enjoyed time during the production of Dune. In fact, multiple vlogs and documentaries about the film had fans and viewers alike become fond of your positive and laid back attitude about it all. Despite playing a calculating character such as Lady Jessica, you were nothing of serious when on screen with your costars.
"Welcome to Arrakis!" You popped into frame, wearing an exquisite dress, costumed by one of the designers. It was golden yellow with chains running down from the bottom half of your face to your chest. A faint veil covered your head but for right now, you had it placed on your hair. You spread your arms with anticipation for the cameraman to pan around your surroundings. "It's sunny today so I think we'd be out here for some time." You moved extremely close to the camera, before moving out of the frame to the side.
Abu Dhabi was bliss. The production and crew worked diligently day and night working in the deserts. And on this particular day, most of the cast had been present as well for the introduction of House Atriedes on Arrakis.
A few shots slowly pans from the crew's tents and Denny far into the sandy mountains as he speaks with Timothee. Another shot slyly captures you showing Josh Brolin an unknown video, sideways. Which somehow made him cackle very enthusiastically, holding his stomach to air as you quickly pat his back multiple of times. In all, everyone of the cast members were having a blast in the dry outskirts of the unknown.
"Hello," Brolin pops in another clip where he stands, wearing the Atreides armor. Under a massive shade area, a few people can be spotted in the background, moving equipment and conversing with others. From afar, the people filming the documentary can be heard presenting a few questions for him to touch upon. "Ah what do I think about Lady Jessica being played by," He says your name sincerely.
The video cuts to you having a conversation with your on and screen husband. A hand covering above your face to shield yourself from the sun, while Oscar tries to move where the light is hitting you as the best he could.
"I mean a phenomenal actor like her playing in that kind of role is guaranteed to have an amazing performance. She's- We've known each for a long time since Sicario and with Denny," The male actor softly grins, staring at where you were. "But Oscar on the other hand, eh- not so much." His tone becoming monotonous, as if the shift in topic was distasteful to the touch.
"Whatcha say, Gurney?!" A scream echoes and it's Oscar, cupping both his hands into an O.
The older actor couldn't keep it together before breaking into frivolous giggles. "Nothing, my lord!" He takes one last glance back before seeing you give him two big thumbs up with a silly smirk. "No in all seriousness, those two are just the best! You can never have a bad day with them."
Another prominent section in the video fans adored was with the actors that played Duncan Idaho and Dr. Liet Kynes. This time they are situated in what looked like the structure of Arrakeen. Where all ornithopters were supposedly stationed and the introduction of Dr. Kynes.
"They're so mom and dad," Jason Momoa shaking his head playfully with his hands clamped together. Both him and Sharon Duncan-Brewster wore still suits unlike many other extras who wore Atreides armor. "I mean- they're playing Paul's parents- but in real life it's just so different."
"Definitely more chaotic," Brewster jumps in, earning a hum from her costar. "They act nothing like them."
A cool shot from different location displays you in a dark with Timothee. It was the scene after Paul is put to test to by the Reverent Mother. It was a chilling scene yes, but in post production, many realize how unprofessional you sometimes were even in the most serious times.
The cameras were not live however the film crew were about to pan to you gesturing back and forth with your on-screen son. It was a interactive and intriguing conversation you both were having. You looking in purely engaged with what the French actor was saying. After a few sentences being spoken, it looked as though you chided a teasing joke which gave the reaction of Timothee slightly snickering, backing away slowly.
"I mean do they look like my parents? No," The young actor states shortly. It looked as though the clip was shot right after capturing your cute moment togehter. "But I'd say- yeah Oscar Isaac's a great actor and- to be able to play my dad is pretty cool. Even though we look nothing alike." Nervous laughter spouts as he clears his throat.
"I feel like I get the resemblances from my mom though," Affectionately stating your name, "You can tell where I got my powers, good looks from." Momentarily readjusting his collar as he takes a quick look from behind, knowing your footsteps.
"See? I'm the favorite parent!" In hushed squeal, you wrapped your hands around Timothee's shoulders, earning a lovable grin back.

Hii!!!
You know some people have alligator to be they pet right?
So I wonder how the slashers react S/O have an alligator pet?
Bo Sinclair must, and whatever slashers you want to write.
Thank you and hope you have a good day!!
Omg I absolutely love this ❤️ If they weren't wild, dangerous as hell and illegal to own, I'd definitely have a long teefer toofer (what my family calls Gators and Crocodiles. Weird I know 😭)
----------------------------------
Only doing Bo Sinclair and Jason Voorhees for this right now. Maybe I'll come back and do some more slashers cause honestly I need to do Michael Myers' reaction to a damn Gator 🤣
Various Slashers x S/O who brings home a gator
Tumblr media
Bo Sinclair
"I'm home!" Bo called out. No one answered. He didn't expect Vincent to say anything but he did at least expect you to come up running to him and tell him about your day, even though nothing in particular ever happens.
He headed to the bedroom you two shared and as he got closer, he could hear you giggling like a little schoolgirl from behind the door.
"Hey, why didn't you-" Bo stopped right in his tracks as he opened the door and found you on the floor in the middle of the room with a juvenile alligator next to you.
You turned your head to him and gave him a big smile. "Bo! Look what I found while I was out with Lester!" You gently grabbed your new friend and held him up towards Bo.
"I named him Tim. He really enjoys belly scratches! Can we keep him? Please?" You looked up at him, trying to give him the most pathetic puppy eyes you could. Bo only sighed and pinches the bridge of his nose in response.
"Now, ya know I love ya. But this is possibly the most stupidest thing I've ever seen you do. You do realize this thing could absolutely kill you when it gets bigger right?"
As he said this, you realized he was right. Disappointed, you stood up with Tim and went to go out to put him back where you found him but not before Bo put a hand on your shoulder.
"Hold on I wasn't finished. I don't mind if ya kept....Tim. He seems like a very fine gator. But we both know Vincent would most likely turn him into a pair of shoes or something, yeah? How about we find a spot somewhere in Ambrose where Vincent won't find him?"
Your eyes lit up and your smile returned to your face. If you didn't have Tim in your arms, you would give Bo the biggest hug you could give. So instead you settled for something else
"Thank you Bo!" You planted a kiss on his cheek as you thanked him.

Tumblr media
Jason Voorhees
You peeked into the window of the cabin you shared with Jason. You didn't see him anywhere. Taking this as a good sign, you carefully opened the door and lugged in the box you were carrying.
Not taking any chance that Jason could be upstairs, you made your way to the small basement and went down. You found a small little area and put the box down. Opening it, you found your new little friend asleep.
Smiling, you gently rubbed the top of his head with the side of your finger as to not wake him. Or her. You couldn't tell the sex of your new alligator. They weren't very big but definitely weren't a baby. Maybe 4 feet long? You'd have to measure and weight the poor thing later.
You were on your way home from town when you spotted the gator on the side of the road. As far as you knew, Alligators weren't found in New Jersey. Poor fella must have been abandoned by someone who thought they could handle an exotic pet like this you figured. You just hope Jason wouldn't mind this new addition to the household.
You got your friend set up with a little warming area and took some raw meat from the fridge down for them. It took a while but you managed to find a small tub like container in the basement for them and filled it with luke warm water. After setting your new friend up, you needed to find Jason.
You first searched the cabin and turned up with nothing. You figured this would be the outcome as he typically wandered the campgrounds during the day, looking for trespassers. The sun was setting so you knew he'd be back shortly. You decided to go back to your gator friend and keep them company until then.
. . .
You didn't realize how long you were down in the basement for but it was long enough for you to accidentally doze off on the spare couch downstairs and to have Jason come home. You were woken up when Jason had come down looking for you. He's seen a lot of things but he never expected to find a 4 foot gator creeping up on his sleeping S/O in the basement of the cabin.
He immediately went over and picked you up bridal style, doing his best to avoid the animal in the basement completely.
"Jason? What are you doing? Put me back down there!" He ignored your request and set you on the couch upstairs. Your eyes widened when you saw him grab his machete and head towards the basement door.
"Woah, woah, woah! Hold on!" Jason stopped and turned to you. You got up and ran to him. You held your hand out for the machete.
"Hand it over. I can't let you hurt Chompers." Jason hesitated but he eventually gave up his weapon, tilting his head in confusion in the process.
"Chompers...You named it?" He signed. You nodded as you took his hand and led him down to the basement. Chompers was back in their little corner, chomping away at some leftover meat you had put down there earlier. You let go of Jason's hand so you could go and sit with your scaly friend.
"See? Friend. I found them on the side of the road coming home from town. I couldn't just leave them alone, Jason. Can we keep them? Just until we can find a sanctuary or something that'll take 'em? They aren't native here. They won't survive in the wild on their own."
You could see Jason mentally debating this. It seemed like forever before he gave a big huff and nodded. You jumped to your feet and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you! I'm sure you two will become good friends too!" You smiled up at him. He hugged back and patted your head before going back upstairs.

Savanaclaw: Pocky Game
Alright, let’s freaking go! Savanaclaw next bby! I got like three friends who simp hardcore for Leona, so I made his part a bit more suggestive. Hope y’all like this addition though, because it was fun to write!
Disclaimer: All characters in this series are aged up. For more information about my version of this world and the type of reader you can expect, please do a quick read of THIS post.  Content Warning: Leona’s part is a bit suggestive.
Tumblr media
Savanaclaw: Pocky Game
Apparently, no matter what world you end up in, there will always be some delicious biscuit coated in chocolate that comes in a stick form. You discovered it one lovely day when shopping for some snacks at Sam’s, and the moment you noticed them, you grabbed several boxes. They were a delicious treat, but there was something else you wanted to do with them. You chuckled as you got home, putting the bag down and grabbing your phone, messaging a certain someone if they wanted to hang out and have snacks.
“Hey, henchman!” Grim said, crawling onto the counter and going through the bags of snacks and other miscellaneous groceries you two needed for the week, “Did you get my tuna?” he said before pulling out a box of pocky, “Oh, what's this?”
“They’re pocky, and you’re not allowed to eat them all. I bought plenty of boxes. You can have one, but the rest are mine.” You said, knowing that Grim would certainly steal more than one box. He opened it up and took a bite, humming at the taste before going to scarf the entire box down. You just sighed, shaking your head in disappointment. He went to snag another box, and you didn’t have the heart to stop him.
You felt your phone buzzing and checked it, seeing you got confirmation for snacks and chill. You chuckled, grabbing two boxes and stashing them in your coat pocket as you started to get ready to head out, “Grim, I’m heading out. Please unload the groceries…your tuna is in one of the bags.” You said, gesturing to the small pile. Grim perked up, deciding to just tear through them until he got what he wanted.
“Whatever you say, henchman!” Grim said, not bothering to ask where you’re going.
“Aaaaaaand?” You trailed off, wanting him to give you a proper answer.
“I’ll do the groceries…” Grim said, and you hummed another ‘and?’ at him. “Aaaaaand thank you for the tuna,” he finally said. With that, you grabbed your house keys and began making your way over to Savanaclaw.
Tumblr media
Leona Kingscholar
You knew for a fact that Leona wasn’t going to greet you at the doors of the dorm, so you made your way through the halls of Savanaclaw until you came to his room. You didn't even bother knocking, knowing he might’ve fallen right back asleep after responding to your message. True to nature, you saw him being lazy on his bed.
“Leona!” You shouted, getting his attention. You watched his ears perk up in annoyance, as he let out a low growl. He moved his face to look at you, shooting you a glare. You laughed, walking over and sitting at the edge of the bed.
“What did you want, herbivore?” He growled out. You grabbed the snacks from your pockets and tossed them onto the bed. He looked over at them then back over at you, “Why’d you bring this?”
“Did you seriously forget about the text I sent you, like ten minutes ago asking to come over and share snacks?” You asked, crossing your legs as you looked down at the lion. You watched Leona getting into a sitting position as his eyes narrowed.
“I don’t have my phone on me.” he said and it clicked in your mind. He seemed to have come to the same conclusion as he sighed, “It was Ruggie…”
“Yup, probably…you still wanna have some snacks and play a game with me?” You asked, waving the pocky in front of him. He growled again before snatching the snacks out of your hand. You chuckled at his grumpy demeanor, knowing how much he hated to be interrupted during his naps. He looked it over before tossing it back at you.
“I don’t want any.” Leona said and you frowned.
“Fine, guess I’ll ask Ruggie to play the pocky game with me. He’d be more fun to kiss anyway.” You said, starting to get up from the bed. That’s when you felt Leona’s hand wrapped around your wrist and you knew you got the lion.
“The what game?” He asked, seemingly a bit more interested now. That was all you needed as you sat back down and opened the box and placed one of them at your mouth. You leaned closer to Leona, urging him to take the other end, “You came here to play a kissing game?” He asked and you nodded. Leona just sighed before attaching his lips to the other end.
The game was over in a flash as you felt Leona’s lips on your own. His hand came over to caress the back of your head, pulling you closer and not letting you leave as he nibbled on your bottom lip. You felt his tongue against your own as he pried cute little whimpers from you, the lewd smacking noises filling the otherwise quiet room.
Your hands came over and bunched up in his shirt, trying to steady yourself. Leona wasn’t having any of it as he pushed you down against the mattress. His lift left yours as he placed a kiss against your neck, “Screw the game, we don’t need it.”
Tumblr media
Ruggie Bucchi
If you knew anything about Ruggie, it would be the fact that he never turned down an opportunity to get free snacks. So it wasn’t shocking when you came over to Savanaclaw and he was waiting for you in the common room. It was empty for the most part as he sat on one of the cushions. His tail swayed, lazily behind him as he waited; Ruggie perked up once he finally could see you.
“So, whatcha bring me?” He chuckled as you got yourself comfortable on the cushion next to him. Before you could dig through your pockets, you felt Ruggie placing his hands in them, pulling out what you brought. You laughed at his eagerness, but let him since you were pretty used to it. Ruggie also never passed up an opportunity to be close to you, so this just made sense in your relationship. Besides, he had definitely grabbed things from your pockets more than once.
He inspected the box in his hands, looking it over before opening it up and grabbing one of them out. He nibbled on the end before deciding he liked it, “This all you brought?” He asked, going back for another.
“Yup, I brought them since they used to be one of my favorite snacks back in my world. Wanted to share them with you…also ask if you wanted to play the pocky game with me.” You said as you opened another flavor.
“Pocky game? Does the winner get all the snacks?” he asked, pausing in his eating. You shook your head.
“I mean…they kinda get the better end of the snack.” You quickly explained the rules to the game and Ruggie seemed to like the idea. He grabbed one of the sticks and put it into his mouth. He then managed to wiggle his eyebrows at you, urging you to take the other end.
You did a quick once over of the room, noting that there was only one or two students, and they weren’t much caring about what you guys were doing. It was still a bit embarrassing, but you decided to just go for it. You put the other end in your mouth and began nibbling.
You didn’t even make it halfway before you could feel Ruggie’s lips on your own. It was short and sweet and when he pulled back, he couldn’t help but snicker.
“Looks like I won.” Ruggie said and you huffed.
“This round…we gonna go for another?” You asked and Ruggie hummed before leaning in and grabbing the edges of your jacket. He pulled you in for another quick kiss.
“Nah, I found something even sweeter.”
Tumblr media
Jack Howl
Jack waited in the hall of mirrors when you entered, causing you to pause. You expected him to maybe wait at the dorms, but not the hall of mirrors. He looked over, giving you a sweet smile, “Ah, there you are. Thought I’d walk with you. I was just coming back from a workout.” Jack said; true to his words, he was still in his PE uniform. You had to stop yourself from looking at his arms and how the muscles were bulging out. It was truly unfair how he was able to get so muscular.
“Thanks Jack…did you want to go to your dorm or my own then?” You knew sometimes Jack got annoyed in his dorm, mainly by how rambunctious some of the students were. He didn’t dislike them, but sometimes he wanted some peace and quiet.
“We can go to yours…sorry I probably should’ve just told you through text.” Jack said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
“Nah, it’s all good. Come on, I’m pretty sure Grim ate all his tuna and is a food coma by now. You said, walking back out into the world. You guys arrived at Ramshackle and Jack opened the gate for you. Once you two were inside, you quickly made sure the fireplace was burning and sat down on the couch. You pulled out the snacks and handed him a box.
“These are what I wanted to share.” You explained, opening one of the boxes up, “They were a popular snack back where I used to live.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever had one of these before.” Jack said, opening his own box. He had grabbed the banana one, taking a bit and deciding the flavor wasn’t bad. He wasn’t about to eat an entire box himself, but it was an enjoyable treat.
“They were so popular back in my world that there was an entire day dedicated to them, especially the pocky game.” At that, you quickly explained the rules, “Sadly I never got to actually play it before.”
Jack paused and looked over the snack. You could see the start of a blush coating his cheeks as he debated before grabbing a stick out, “We could play?” he offered and you perked up. You got closer to Jack and took the stick from his hand. You put it against his lips and waited for him to take one end in his mouth.
You quickly grabbed the other one and began nibbling away. Jack was slower than you expected, probably from nerves, but you managed to get most of it down before you could feel his slightly chapped lips against your own. You hummed into the kiss, lingering there for a moment longer than you should’ve before pulling away.
“Just as fun as I had always hoped…can we play again?” You asked hopefully. Jack paused, his eyes wide and cheeks darker than they normally were. He then swallowed a lump in his throat and shot you a smile.
“We can play as much as you want.”

SPN Rewatch: Fanfic Edition
Tumblr media
Our goal is to rewatch the show with fanfic writing in mind. We want to look for all the places in canon where we could add a scene, show a scene from a certain character’s point of view, or change something to make things turn out differently. (We may also critique what the show writers did; that seems inevitable.)
Episodes we're discussing: 2.01 In My Time of Dying and 2.02 Everybody Loves A Clown
What time will it be for you:
UTC - Saturday 21:00
Los Angeles - Saturday 2pm
New York - Saturday 5pm
London - Saturday 9pm
New Delhi - Sunday 2:30am
Melbourne - Sunday 8am
Who’s invited? All Pond members, including Turtles! You don’t have to be a writer to have an opinion on the episodes that could inspire a writer! Everyone has valuable opinions about the show and could spark conversation and inspiration.
Where will we meet? In the discord server. There is a special channel for us to chat in so we don’t disturb other chats happening at the same time.
How does it work? On our own, whenever we have time, we all watch two episodes of SPN. At the appointed time, we all get together and chat about them. Although we have several questions to consider and creative ideas for you to do if you want, there is no pressure to actually have answers to these questions or have created anything prior to the chat. Didn’t get to watch them? No biggie! We’ve all watched these episodes enough that we can probably talk about them without rewatching them!
More info under the cut!
What questions should we consider while we watch? We have a few questions you can keep in mind while you’re watching the episodes:
Are there any “fanfiction gaps” in this episode? Any places between scenes where a juicy story could happen? (For example, one scene ends at night, but the next scene begins during the day, and what did they do with all of that time?)
How would the episode be different if you changed one thing? What is changed is up to you. It could be as complex as a character making a different choice, or as simple or silly as someone wearing a funny hat throughout part or all of the episode.
What about this episode would you like to see happen differently? How would making that change affect future episodes?
List any parts of each episode that you think could be jumping-off points for a fic. Like, in the pilot, how did Sam meet their friend who was in the bar with them?
How would the episode be different if there were another character involved like a reader insert character?
Do any of the themes we've already discussed in The Archive (See the bottom of the doc under the heading "Thematic docs") show up in this episode? Does this episode bring up any new themes we should be watching out for in the future?
What else can we do before the chat? You can add any notes you have about the episodes we'll be discussing to The Archives! In addition, besides just discussing the fanfiction possibilities in every episode, we also want to encourage you to create things centered around the episodes we’re discussing and share them with the rest of us.

my dear partner
Tumblr media
not sure if villain!heizou is a thing, but it is now!
(god sometimes i wish hoyoverse used this model, but i guess it can now serve as villain!heizou au)
warnings: implications of of violence, deception, possible yandere themes. gn!reader
masterlist. navigation.
Tumblr media
villain heizou, who secretly works for the fatui, helping fuel the war in inazuma by “harmlessly” visiting watatsumi island in the midst of the conflict on a “vacation”. in actuality, he’s been scouting out the area for reconnaissance, casually leaving delusions to be found by the watatsumi forces. sure it’s a little underhanded, but he’s never minded using such tactics on cases before.
villain heizou, who is quite the character in inazuma, cracking cold cases and bringing wanted criminals to justice, but no one knows the truth behind his methods. to keep his cover, he turns in the occasional turncoat or low life scum, manipulating the evidence in his favor. with no partner, other than his own intuition, there’s no one left to oppose him. that is until you come into play.
you were a new addition to the detective agency, filled with the grand notion of bringing justice to inazuma and making it a safe place for everyone. you took case after case, roaming all of inazuma in search of justice, but your potential suspects and key witnesses would mysteriously go missing before you could question them, and the locals would only shudder in fear when you went searching for a reason for their disappearance. it was clear something, or someone was keeping you from finding the answers you needed, but they always seemed to be one step ahead of you.
frustrated with chasing countless cold leads, you decided to go to your senpai, heizou. surely he would have some wistful insight he’d be willing to share. in all honesty, you had only spoken to the detective maybe two or three times in passing, but he’d offered to help if you ever found yourself in a bind so surely he’d be willing to help you out with this case.
heizou already knew you’d be looking for him when he reached the agency. after all, it was only a matter of time until you had exhausted all of your leads and resources and came to your genius senpai for assistance. he was counting on it.
surely enough, he found you asking around the agency for him. it was adorable, the way you thanked each of your dull coworkers with a respectful bow, something heizou would have laughed at had it been anyone else. when your eyes finally met his, they shone bright like the stars above teyvat as your lips lifted into a relieved smile. the sight made his own smile he returned that much more genuine.
“good morning, my dear kouhai. what brings you to the agency today? i was sure you’d be out hunting for clues.” he chimed enthusiastically.
you sighed softly, “usually i would be, but i’m a little…” you knew you needed his help, but that didn’t make it any easier to have to admit it aloud. “i’m a little stumped by a case. if you’re not too busy, would you mind helping me out?”
he chuckled, his softened green eyes reflecting his clear amusement, “why sure! i’ve got a bit of a break since i just dropped off my last case file, so i’ve got plenty of time to help you.”
you explained the case, walking him through each piece of evidence and the mysterious disappearance of your prime suspect and potential witnesses. apparently, the suspect wielded an electro vision that allowed them to escape every time you were able to corner them. if you didn’t know better, you would have thought they might even be enjoying the thrill of the chase.
heizou glanced at the file you’d put together, impressed by each of your deductions and inferences neatly organized into a nearly perfect profile. it would have been perfect if only you were slightly more observant. for example, the electro vision seen on the suspect was nothing more than a delusion at play, and the suspect wasn’t just enjoying the chase, but pulling you into it yourself. it was clear that the suspect was toying with you, but you hadn’t seem to catch on, which meant he had a little more time with you yet.
“this case sure looks like a doozy,” he said, finishing up the last paragraph of your notes, “it has me lost for words at the moment, but don’t worry, my dear partner.” he closed the file and tucked it underneath his arm, “i’m sure we can crack this one together.”

Hiii. How are you? I hope you're doing fine, I read your new addition to the poly relationship thing and it was really cool.
I was wondering if you have more headcannons of them? Maybe what pet names Jean and eren use for each other or the love language they have for each other,do they use physical touch or maybe words of affirmation or anything else? Or how they make out. Also do they cuddle (just the two of them)? Like maybe Eren had a bad day or something and I recall you mentioned that eren stops frowning when Jean touches his brows or smth like that. So what if eren had a bad day and he needs Jean to comfort him,do they cuddle or they just hug?
I'm curious about Jean's mom having a hard time with the poly relationship thing. At this point I'm just rambling,sorry.
I just wanted to see your thought on this cause I have some but I don't know how the others perceive it. Anyways thanks you so much,i love your content 🫶🏻🫶🏻
hellooooo cutie pie nonny :) this has been sitting in my ask box for AGES like since i dropped the last erejean fic i think and i have been so excited to answer it. i'm sorry it took me forever!!! but i am back and ~ ready to chat ~
more poly!erejean headcanons because anon said so
i think it takes them foreverrrrrr to be physically affectionate with each other, and it honestly takes jean awhile to get physical with you too, just bc of the dynamic changing
eren's love language is definitely physical touch, jean's is definitely gift-giving
whenever you or eren texts in your group chat (because of course you have a "y/n's bfs<3" groupchat lol) that you're having the worst day at work, jean's already plotting what store he's running by to pick something up for you as a nice little surprise
maybe it's ingredients for your favorite dinner, your favorite candy, a new pair of fuzzy socks, etc.
eren, on the other hand, just crushes you/jean with the biggest, tightest hug he can manage whenever you're having a bad day. probably offers a massage of some sort.
eren just ...very absentmindedly touches you and jean? like he is always just running a hand over your waist as he passes you in the kitchen, playing with jean's fingers while he scrolls on his phone, kicks his feet up on your lap to watch tv. it feels uncomfortable for him to be in the same room as either of you and not touch you somehow.
jean's favorite thing in the world is to have each of you tucked under his arms cuddling. insists on being in the middle for movie night.
i can't remember if i've mentioned this but eren and jean love sharing clothes. eren's the worst about it- he's literally always snagging jean's stuff and jean, misunderstanding at first, started buying eren a couple of his shirts that he noticed going missing. he got the point when eren never touched his new shirts.
eren 100% nuzzles into jean and you like a dog like noses against your shoulder/neck/tummy
just some little cuddling/physical touch hcs <3 as for jean's mom, i picture her being very traditional, wanting jean to get married and have children. jean has been bi for years in this verse, but very quietly bi, like maybe had a bf in college, told his mom (it took her a minute, but she came around) and his closest friends but keeps it pretty lowkey.
when he told his mom about his relationship with you and eren, the poly dynamic was just completely unlike anything she'd ever heard of and it really caught her by surprise. she wasn't outright unsupportive, but she's very old-fashioned and she just didn't understand how it could function like a legitimate, serious relationship. but when jean just keeps mentioning you both more and more (he knows things like this take her awhile, and she knows her boy is serious by how insistently he keeps bringing it up), she can just hear how happy jean is and wants to see how it works and give it a chance.
she's always adored eren through all the years she's known him, and she's smitten with you the second you shyly cross the threshold into her house, complimenting the decor. she never goes back, just has a few tentative questions for jean here and there, but all that matters to her is that her boy is being made happy by two wonderful people :)

Additional F.A.Q 2
Hello, challengers! Thank you so much for your support and responses on our Interest Check form! We have received a couple more questions and comments about our zine that we would like to share our answers with you all!
Q: I would love to participate but I was wondering if minors will be allowed to apply?
Minors who are at least 14 will be allowed to apply as this is a free digital zine that does not require the handling of money or shipping. However, should they be accepted onto the project they will be held to the same standards as everyone else and expected to act with maturity during the creation phase. As we have mentioned on our About Page, our main concerns as mods is to bring the project to completion, and as such, we have rules to ensure the success of the zine.
Q: I am so curious to see how much focus is gonna be on Ingo and Emmet? I know they're really popular.
We the mods here at In Pursuit of Victory are very aware of the popularity of the Subway Masters fandom, however this is a zine dedicated to all of the Battle Facilities. As such, when it comes time for pitches we plan to make sure that no facility or boss is repeated more than 2-3 times between the Artist and Writers. So if there’s a Facility or Boss that you really want to make something for, come up with some really creative pitches! We would like to see a variety of facilities on display, and there are so many to choose from!
We are still accepting responses up till February 5th, and you can find the form here!

Crimson Flowers_Part 1
A.N:🕯️Happy Halloween!!! 👻I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable one! 🎃
This is a Glorious Masquerade event with my TWST OC Mia!!
Twisted Wonderland Masterlist  
Can you excuse me and allow me a moment to fangirl over this event? I always loved Hunchback of Notre Dame, so this story was a real treat. The music is just… *chef’s kiss* 
At this point, I think I'm planning to get the Rollo card next year! I loved him from the moment I met him and wanted to know everything about the man.
I haven’t done a fake SSR card since the 1st Fairy Gala and now I have an TWST OC GM card!
Thank you to everyone that put in the hard work to make these templates and share them!! I for one, appreciate it!!
@thoselethalarts​ : Glorious Masquerade BG
@100night  : SR title card +  Groovied logo
-----------------------------------------------
Mia fought not to shiver as Rollo’s eyes landed on her and Grim. 
She felt his eyes assessed her, “So the rumors are true that you are the only female to attend Night Raven’s College all-male school. You are…apologies, your names?” 
Grim was quick to answer, “I’m Grim!! Future great mage!” 
Mia couldn’t figure out if she felt some type of way that, he knew everyone else, but not them. Did Crowley not think she and Grim were worthy of a footnote? 
But then again, it was Crowley. Who knows what went through that bird brain?
So she gave a polite smile, “My name is Mia Anderson. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 
Rollo gave a small nod, “I had heard you were unable to use magic. I did not expect you to bring a familiar along with you.” 
“Familiar?” Grim almost screeched, “Hold on! You’ve got it backwards here! She’s my hench-human!” 
Mia heaved a silent, long-suffering sigh. She kept quiet where ordinarily she might have quibbled with Grim, but she did not want to make a bad first impression. It seems Grim had no such qualms. 
Rollo didn’t seem to acknowledge Grim’s outburst, but instead added, “It must be stressful being the only female in addition to being surrounded by magic users. It must have caused you many problems. While you are in the City of Flowers, please take this time to rest.” 
Mia gave a small smile, “Thank you, sir.”
Mia never thought she’d feel thankful for Coach Vargas’s spartan training. At least she was faring a little better than Idia and Azul ie, she could hide it a little better. 
Ahhh, the golden bell was larger than life and truly breathtaking!! She had wandered away from Rollo’s speech to the others when Silver had popped his head back from the railing. She chose to stay far away from the edge, but upon seeing him do that gave her a heart attack. 
By the time she wandered over, she heard Sebek, “This is a joyous occasion!! Malleus-sama is the head of the Gargoyle Research Society, and as such these developments must be reported! If he sees these gargoyles, he’ll be pleased. Malleus-sama!! 
Idia shook his head, “The head he says? Pretty sure he’s the only member.” 
“Malleus-sama, look there! There is a gargoyle you so love, my liege! Please feel free to look as long as you like!” 
Malleus only frowned, making Sebek’s eyes widen, “My liege! Is there something wrong?” 
Mia spoke up with a grin, “Did it have a waterspout? Was it connected to something? You gotta find out these things before getting your liege’s spirit’s up like that! If it wasn’t, then it’s a grotesque, a mere decoration and not a gargoyle. Don’t you pay attention to anything your liege says?” 
Everyone was stunned to silence. Sebek noted that Malleus was practically glowing by this point. A huge grin broke out on Malleus’ face, as he laughed. 
Silver blinked. Did they get it wrong again? They could never remember the difference. 
Mia giggled, “I assume, I got it right?” 
“Yes, Child of Man!” Malleus beamed, “You are correct! Most splendid! Ha-ha!!” 
Sebek roused himself to cry, “Forgive me, my liege, it seems I have failed you!”
He snuck a glance towards Mia. He supposed later he would have to reward her for making Malleus-sama so happy like that. It’s been awhile since he has seen such a grin on his lord’s face. What would make a worthy award for the human? He would have to think on that as well as how to correct his own failing. He should study harder to remember the different in a grotesque and a gargoyle! He could not as his retainer be utterly lacking in the knowledge of his lord’s interests! 
“What the…? How the…? Why would you have such useless information in your head?” Idia sputtered. 
Azul pushed up his glasses, “It seems you forgot Idia. Malleus is no longer the only member of the Gargoyle Research Society. Mia has recently joined and seemed to take the lessons to heart.” 
Mia snorted, “I took notes.” 
Azul rolled his eyes, “Did it require it?” 
“I got it right, right? Leave me alone!” 
“Although, the fact that Malleus paid such attention to detail, now THAT part is relatable!!” Idia grinned. 
“Come along, hench-human!! Our crowd awaits!!” Grim crowed. 
“I know you are feeling yourself, but you have got to settle down!” Mia spoke as she plucked at the outfit she was wearing. 
“Hey ya’ll! How do I look? Look better on me than Mia, right?” Grim preened as they rejoined the group. 
Mia gave Grim a fond smile, “That being said, it does look perfect on you. Very suave! Befitting the future greatest mage to ever live!” 
Grim looked ready to burst at Mia’s words. Mia looked around the group to see them staring at her. She became self-conscious and dropped her gaze. “Wha?” 
“Beautiful!! Magnifque!” Rook bust out, breaking the silence, “You are as radiant as the night, with the purple and gold! Your beauty is shaming the day!” 
Mia almost choked herself on Rook’s words. She was used to his overdramatic tendencies, but they were rarely about her in such a manner.  
Jamil gave a small smile, “Dramatics aside, it’s rare to see you in a dress, Mia.”  
Epel looked up at Mia shyly, “You look right pretty, Mia.” 
“Oh, sorry….I just….” Deuce fumbled over his words as he looked a bit awestruck at you. 
Riddle gave a reassuring smile, “Yes, they are right. This is a rare treat.” 
“Your beauty does not hold a candle to Malleus-sama’s, but you look nice too!” Sebek smirked. 
Epel winkled his nose, “Isn’t the literally comparing apples and oranges?” 
“I apologize for Sebek’s crudeness!” Silver sighed, “You look lovely.” 
Ruggie grinned, “Indeed. What they said.” 
Mia was about ready to sink into the floor. It’s been awhile since she got these kinds of compliments. 
Grim laughed, “Ehh, she had to look gorgeous to stand next to me! Not as gorgeous as me, but still….” 
“Alright! Thank you everyone! I appreciate it!” She murmured as she couldn’t help but to lock her hands behind her back and sway back and forth. She still couldn’t bring herself to look at the boys yet. 
Thankfully, when Azul, Idia and Malleus rejoined the group, they had moved onto from her. Especially when Sebek began to lay heaps of praise onto Malleus whose poker face did not betray him. Mia’s eyes had widened as she glimpsed Malleus. This was the first time she had seen him dress up like this, and she was stunned into inaction. 
“See, this human knows the beauty of my lord!!” Sebek cried. 
Mia roused herself to realized, “this human” was referring to her. She snapped her head away, embarrassed to be caught gazing so openly.  Where was her head today? 
“Mia has the right reaction. No one wouldn’t be stunned into inaction upon gazing on Malleus-sama’s ethereal beauty! Mia, speak! How does our lord fare!” 
She muttered as she waved her hand, hoping it would past over. She was past tired of being put on the spot now, “N-Nice, very, very nice…” 
“Nice!? NICE!?! Just NICE!?” Sebek screeched, “Mia, comport yourself and give another look! Your reaction does not do justice your words!” 
Mia snapped then looking back at Sebek as she crossed her arms. She bared her teeth, “Shut up, Sebek! Learn to lower your voice, especially in someone else’s home. Besides what did you want me to say, ‘He looks like a walking dream’, I do have my pride you know!” 
There was a lull…
Ruggie laughed, “Shihihihi, but you just said it…” 
Sebek barked, pleased as all punch, “YES! YES!! That’s more like it!! Now your words bring justice to our lord’s ethereal beauty! Haha!!” 
This is the second time today that Mia has said the right things. Truly, he would have to consider carefully her award when this was over. 
Mia blinked at him a moment before she ran over her words. Then they watch, minus Sebek would was too busy being ecstatic at Mia’s words, in a rare show of fashion for her to fold into herself; she held her hands over her face and crab-walked behind the nearest student. Thankfully, it was Rook, who was tall enough to afford her a level of secrecy.  
Yep, she had officially lost her mind. The ground could just open up and swallow her any moment now. City of Flowers was named aptly. This could be her final resting place.  
“Thank you, Mia! I appreciate your sincere words! You, too, look very beautiful!” Malleus spoke with a small smile, “You must be in one of the photos with us! Lila would never forgive me if I did not present such documentation.” 
Rook could feel Mia further wilt behind him and laughed, “You should not be ashamed, Mia! If that is the way you felt, to lie would be a disgrace to your pure feelings.” 
“I will end…all of you.” She hissed. 
Jamil only sighed, “Don’t involve me in your foolishness.” 
Rollo murmured under his breath, “And foolishness it is.” 
However, he had been observing quietly this lone female student. This was the first time, he had witnessed the comradery she had with the others. She had been quiet for the most part, but it was clear that she wasn’t an outlier of a student that he assumed a female among all males would be. 
Most interesting….

           “The winds change their course                          and deliver letters from home.”
Preliminary sign-ups for the upcoming anniversary event are now live! This will run until 11:59PM EST on July 31st. No new signups will be accepted after this signup window closes.
Event Sign-up Instructions:
In an attempt to keep group numbers manageable this year, and to avoid the mod team making arbitrary decisions about an individual's past activity, we will be testing out a one muse limit restriction for everyone in the group. No matter if you're new to TOA or a veteran, you will only be allowed to sign up one muse this time. We hope it accomplishes the following:
Stronger engagement. Having one muse means only one group to pay attention to. We hope this allows everyone more energy and time to explore the settings we have established, as well as be more invested in optional paralogue threads or other investigations not prompted by the mod in charge of your group.
Less FOMO. Knowing that you're not the only person allowed to bring only one muse tends to decrease chances of feeling like you're missing out on something if you don't sign up all of your muses.
No mod judgments. We don't have to make subjective evaluations of past activity to determine an individual's limits.
Less chance of burnout. Lore events are a bit like running a marathon. It might seem manageable at the beginning, but many people who bring more than one muse to events tend to run out of steam around the third week. This causes the stories to suffer all around.
Better commitment. In the past, some members who wind up dissatisfied with their team have shifted their energy to a team that another one of their muses is on, which ends up undermining the team they had been unhappy with and causing everyone else in the group to lose energy as well. If you have only one muse, you'll have to make the best of your situation in any way that you can.
More activity from non-event muses during August. Part of the pressure to sign up all muses comes from the difficulty in meeting minimum IC requirements with muses who do not join the event. With more muses not participating this year, we hope this provides a larger pool of characters to thread with. However, you can also put your non-participating muses on hiatus during the month.
Smaller teams. This means mods are not stretched as thin and can read your threads and tailor the campaigns to the choices your muses make.
As with all of our anniversary events, you sign up with your muse by having them take a personality quiz. Please read the following instructions carefully:
Follow the above link and take the quiz in order to sign your muse up for the event. When answering the questions, do so as your muse.
Please only take the quiz once. Your results are automatically logged and visible from our end. We’re using a free account to host it, so we’re given only 100 submissions a month. We ask for your cooperation in only taking the quiz for the muse you are committed to writing for the event. After August 1st, we will allow the quiz to be taken by anyone for fun.
Though you may share your result, please refrain from publicly sharing which answers you gave. If you do so in private, make sure others have already taken the quiz on their own first to avoid influencing their choices. We want to ensure the truest outcome for each character!
This event will last the full month of August and will call for daily commitment (if not posting, then being present in your team’s Discord channel). Those who experienced Keras Kai Elephas in January or Unscripted last August should expect the same level of activity. For those who are new to TOA’s lore events, think of this like a month-long TTRPG campaign. Please consider this when deciding whether to sign up.
Inventories will be submitted after teams have been made.
Additional changes:
Canon lords can claim both their personal skill and their lord class at the same time for this event. More information about participation prizes will be posted when the event begins. It will help to begin brainstorming a personal skill in advance though.
The Snowglobe mission board will be extended until the end of August. Unaffiliated characters being part of the mission task board remains a requirement.
We hope to see many (or all!) of you there!
- House Leaders

👻🚀🐇💭🧪 for the writing meme.
👻 What is your wildest headcanon?
I generally try to base my headcanons on facts and/or logic. Meaning I'm not the type to pull a "Sonic is race-coded because uhhhhh I said so, deal with it bigot" out of my ass.
But one of my more... cartoony headcanons would be that Eggman has a dartboard with Sonic's face on it in all of his bases. All of them. Including each individual ship that makes up the Egg Fleet. Just in case.
🚀 Do you like to outline your fic first or create as you go?
It's a mix of both. I'm all too aware of the unique pain and exasperation that comes with writing out one idea for so long, finally completing it, only to then get a new idea for it afterwards. Hell, this becoming a frequent annoyance was what convinced me to do a clean slate and transform BtS into Stellar to begin with.
So once it became Stellar, a lot of the process for me involved picturing the basic frame and most vital components for each scene, brainstorming additional stuff for said scene and debating with myself over which options would work best, and then getting to WEEERRRKKK on it.
🐇 Do you write for yourself, for others, or both?
As mentioned previously, I do it for both myself and my friends. :>
💭 What inspires you and your writing?
It's a simple answer, but my love for the franchise. I love the games (not all of them granted, but you know what I mean), I love the world it's all set in, I love the soundtracks, I love many of the characters, and it's what paved the way for my closest friendships. So I wanted to pay tribute to it, and give it a little flavor of my own along the way, albeit in a way that compliments the source material instead of spitting on it.
There's also a lot of Sonicy ideas I've had for a long time that I don't often see be done anywhere else, or at least not in the way that I have in mind. Which isn't to say it's anyone's job to satisfy my whims in particular, but it's another thing that convinced me to get off my ass and bring my own concepts to life.
...aaaand I guess wanting more stories where Eggman remains the main villain and final boss is a motivation of mine as well.
🧪 Do you research for your fics?
Not for every single detail, but I've done my share of it for whatever I think it would be helpful for. Since it's Sonic, creative liberties are inevitable, so realism is admittedly not a concern of mine so long as I'm not flat out disgracing the source of origin (the exception being Trudy's EDS, which I try to approach with some level of realism out of respect to those who have been affected by it in real life), but I do some reading and searching all the same if I believe I can do something with the information given.
This has been done for such things as locations, the designs for each of the Ethereal entities, and even Trudy's horse-like mannerisms. :P Of course, being a Sonic fic, there's been a lot of Sonic-based research as well: looking back at previous plots and locations, examining unused concepts, that sort of thing.

Narrator: *Sarevok Anchev. A Bhaalspawn who failed to become Chosen, long ago. A spilled stain of Father's Divine Essence left out to dry.* Narrator: *And yet, the history he shares with your companion seems to run almost as deep as your own.* Sarevok Anchev: What purpose do you have in bringing this heretic to the court of Bhaal? Speak, or death will be your final word. Kyvir: We're not here to dig up old feuds. I seek a path to the Temple of Bhaal. Jaheira: Do not parley with this madman. Jaheira: Sarevok reclaimed his soul, once - and he still traded it back to his father for a pat on the head. He has earned his second death even more than his first. Sarevok Anchev: You speak of the past - I speak of the future. Well, aspirant? Do the shades of yesterday speak for you, too? Sarevok Anchev: There are two paths to the Temple of Bhaal: to carve your devotion into flesh, or to be the carcass that is carved upon. Kyvir: I answer for myself, Sarevok - and Jaheira answers to me. She won't be a problem. Jaheira: You make promises that aren't yours to keep. Take care that their breaking does not break something more. Sarevok Anchev: I know this one well. I have travelled in her company. Whatever else may be said of her, she answers to no one but herself. Sarevok Anchev: It seems there is some disagreement on who is master here. Kyvir: You follow me. You dare question the SLAYER-LORD? Jaheira: Is it to be death, then? A better alternative to watching this sick family reunion. Sarevok Anchev: I never thought I'd see this. The Grand Harper, brought to her knees before me. Sarevok Anchev: The violence pleases Bhaal. The domination pleases me. Your slaves may stand, the better to bear witness.
Bhaal's Divine Essence, hm. Is that what they're calling it now.
Durge lowkey calling Sarevok a divine cumstain aside, though. Jaheira, aren't you a Harper? Isn't part of the job subterfuge? Can you stop complaining and go with it at least until we rescue our wizard, please? This isn't really a situation where we want to risk getting into a massive, avoidable fight that'll also piss off an actual god who controls whether Durge lives or dies unless we absolutely have to. Please just go along with this for now! ...To be fair she might not know about the whole "Bhaal has at least some direct control over whether Durge lives or dies" thing. If that came standard with the Bhaalspawn package I suspect the Bhaalspawn crisis would've gone very differently.
I thought the "You follow me" line was addressed at Sarevok at first, since Durge was the head of the temple until the incident. But it's kind of fun how you can get Jaheira to kneel before the Tribunal without even having to roll for it just by leaning into the intimidation factor of a full-fledged Slayer. The lack of a roll has the additional benefit of leaving it pleasingly vague whether Durge is being serious or bluffing. Jaheira seems to be taking it seriously, but it's also possible that she's just realized that we do not want to piss off the Murder Tribunal while trying to solve a kidnapping and is going along with it. All I can say is she doesn't disapprove.
Anyway I assume most of this conversation relates to the previous games so I don't have much to say about it. I am looking forward to playing them, even if the graphics are not going to be as pretty as BG3's. But I do love how many Bhaalspawn are just so desperate for Bhaal's love and approval that they'll give him anything, the way Bhaal uses parental affection as a tool to control his offspring is a fantastic plot point.

RWBY v9 E5 Thoughts & Analysis
The ever after gets prettier and prettier
No one complain about the visuals of the JL crossovers, because this is what we got with resources that could have gone to those
“when we break, or wear out, or simply finish what we were made to do, We’re called back. But Herb? His heart was too weak to listen. So i gave him a little bit of mine.”
So Herb was already being called back, presumably because he was “worn out” and trying to force change instead of just help people on their journey, but he just wasn’t able to listen to said call. Intriguing.  
So when you ascend, you become the person you wanted to be when you were your old self, but you don’t remember any of what or who you were prior to the change. 
Also intriguing that Ruby specifically asks if you keep your memories post-ascension. Are you considering something you want to share with the class, Ruby?
Love how this volume has clearly gotten the CRWBY to reflect on what they’ve been writing as well, as we’ve seen through the cat a la “exposition is terribly boring”. They’re really thinking about the nature of stories and how to tell them meaningfully. 
“I wonder what else Alyx left out” Hoo boy, i get the feeling that’s gonna have a doozy of an answer, Blake
I am so intrigued by the Blacksmith. Her design is fascinating. And, uh....as far as we know, she wasn’t in the book.
“Nothing, no one, is ever truly lost”
So lets get this out of the way--no, Penny’s not coming back. Stop it. There’s two ways i think the meaning of this line could play out
1) Ruby is tempted to ascend and “become” someone she think is more worthy of living than she is
2) People live on in the ways we carry them and everything we learned from them with us
currently, i’m on the “The Blacksmith is an Ascended Summer Rose” theory train, but then i was also dead wrong about the Rusted Knight--we’ll get there
She’s forging/smithing/whatever a butterfly something or other....wonder what that’s for. Other than symbolism, obviously
Little: ”Ruby, I don’t think we’re supposed to be here.” Everything about the blacksmith is framed as an almost unnatural addition to the Ever After--including CC seemingly not knowing about her.
“I’m fine. I can handle it” Ugh, Ruby, you poor girl
“If you change your mind, you can choose any one of these you like, and set your burden down.”
“They’re an extension of ourselves, they’re a part of us!”--Ruby, v1 about why she loves weapons
So, Crescent Rose is....perhaps, Ruby’s identity as a huntress?
Crescent rose is lost, that part of her is lost.  
I dunno exactly, we’ll see. But I’m positive that volume 1 line is at the core of everything we have seen concerning Crescent Rose this volume.
Penny’s sword. Alyx’s dagger. And of course, the one that broke the FNDM--Summer’s axe. 
Ever since Ruby and Salem confronted each other in volume 8, the silver eyes and Summer bring a sense of foreboding with them. They have changed completely from their heroic implications of volume 6.
What knowledge did you give her, Jinn?
The cat knocking things off the table casually is another great cat-based gag.
“It carries a mothers promise” this line has the potential to become one of the most heartbreaking things in the entire show.
Especially because in the Tuesday BtS video we got the line “a mother always fulfills her promise” from the cast and crew. Something absolutely soul crushing concerning Summer is on its way.
It is so like Ruby to put others first this way. People were in danger, her friends needed to return to normal to help, she knows how the barter system works in the Ever After, she gives her mothers emblem up without hesitation knowing its value will be enough.
It’s definitely weird to give Blake the line “whats a jabberwalker?” Weiss or Yang, sure. But Blake asking is weird. She is the most knowledgeable of the Ever After, she even knew about the Jabberwalker previously, right? Weird.
“If the jabberwalker eats us, we do not ascend” So it can essentially cut reincarnation short? Or maybe kill functionally immortal creatures? Seems like this could be interesting groundwork for the future...
The Rusted Knight! Blake fangirling over a fictional childhood hero come to life is just so wholesome.
Neo has officially moved beyond illusions. She can create tangible, seemingly even sentient replicas of existing, living things. So that’s not troubling at all. Course....do they have free will, or do they have to listen to Neo Prime? I guess we will learn soon enough.
‘We’ll hold them off”?! God i hope CC and thh bird guy are okay...
cuz, uh....not many are....tbh.....
JUNIPER
JNPR
My HEART
Jaune, what HAPPENED to you?
Do we get a flashback episode to see how he got to this state? 
So, no, I do not think Jaune ascended, he still has his memories
Yes, I think he aged normally, we already know theres time shenaniganery in the Ever After.
No, i don’t think he will return to his pre-Ever After age, RWBY doesn’t reverse big status quo shifts. It just doesn’t.
Also adding to Penny not coming back--If Penny could come back, Jaune would have done it already. 
So yeah. Also--
just the whole fact that there is a place in the world of RWBY where death doesn’t really exist when our main villain is literally incapable of dying, feels way too coincidental for my theory/analysis senses to ignore
 Just the fact that the ever after has two ways of an otherwise immortal life ending—one through choosing to become someone and something else entirely, or the other to be taken by a creature that is the only thing that can “kill” in this world, feels very important when dealing with an immortal villain
 Stopping Salem will come from something they learn in the Ever After, that’s clear as day Even if they don’t realize it for a few volumes
Or maybe that will be the moment Ruby finds hope again--when she realizes that something in the ever after can help her defeat Salem

SPN Rewatch: FanFic Edition
Tumblr media
Our goal is to rewatch the show with fanfic writing in mind. We want to look for all the places in canon where we could add a scene, show a scene from a certain character’s point of view, or change something to make things turn out differently. (We may also critique what the show writers did; that seems inevitable.)
Episodes we're discussing: 2.05 Simon Said and 2.06 No Exit
What time will it be for you:
UTC - Saturday 21:00
Los Angeles - Saturday 2pm
New York - Saturday 5pm
London - Saturday 10pm
New Delhi - Sunday 2:30am
Melbourne - Sunday 7am
Who’s invited? All Pond members, including Turtles! You don’t have to be a writer to have an opinion on the episodes that could inspire a writer! Everyone has valuable opinions about the show and could spark conversation and inspiration.
Where will we meet? In the discord server. There is a special channel for us to chat in so we don’t disturb other chats happening at the same time.
How does it work? On our own, whenever we have time, we all watch two episodes of SPN. At the appointed time, we all get together and chat about them. Although we have several questions to consider and creative ideas for you to do if you want, there is no pressure to actually have answers to these questions or have created anything prior to the chat. Didn’t get to watch them? No biggie! We’ve all watched these episodes enough that we can probably talk about them without rewatching them!
More info under the cut!
What questions should we consider while we watch? We have a few questions you can keep in mind while you’re watching the episodes:
Are there any “fanfiction gaps” in this episode? Any places between scenes where a juicy story could happen? (For example, one scene ends at night, but the next scene begins during the day, and what did they do with all of that time?)
How would the episode be different if you changed one thing? What is changed is up to you. It could be as complex as a character making a different choice, or as simple or silly as someone wearing a funny hat throughout part or all of the episode.
What about this episode would you like to see happen differently? How would making that change affect future episodes?
List any parts of each episode that you think could be jumping-off points for a fic. Like, in the pilot, how did Sam meet their friend who was in the bar with them?
How would the episode be different if there were another character involved like a reader insert character?
Do any of the themes we've already discussed in The Archive (See the bottom of the doc under the heading "Thematic docs") show up in this episode? Does this episode bring up any new themes we should be watching out for in the future?
What else can we do before the chat? You can add any notes you have about the episodes we'll be discussing to The Archives! In addition, besides just discussing the fanfiction possibilities in every episode, we also want to encourage you to create things centered around the episodes we’re discussing and share them with the rest of us. Things like:
Write some meta about some part of the episode. What does this episode show us about one or more of the characters?
Write a fic based on the episode. Share a link to your fic in the discussion and we can talk about it!
Make a playlist that you feel reflects the mood of the episode.
Make some art or a photo collage or edits to go along with the episode.
We look forward to seeing everything you create! Be sure to tag us so we can reblog your work!

I finally finished a book a while ago and what happens when you finish a book? Right, it doesn’t leave you for a while, and what do I do when thoughts keep circling in my head? Exactly, I try to make a fic out of it.
Historical murder mistery it is:
Niko is mayor of the city and childhood friend of Joel and Joonas
they went to the same university and their families venture in the same circles (the rich kids💸 of the story so to say)
he’s stern and pretends to have a much colder heart there is (you can’t wilt to every plead of your people, that’s not how you can rule a city), but he ultimately does a good job although Joonas and Joel like to complain he listens too much to the older generation and their needs (which is keep the working people poor, and the elite rich, what else)
Joonas is Detective with the police, always wanting to help the people (starting when he was a child and helped Joel defend himself against the older students picking on him👿)
his job is made difficult by the older Chief Superintendents and Constables who don’t like seeing change withing the ranks and cling to the old ways of solving cases (which are shit but corruption is hard to stop)
but Joonas, fresh and excited, having visited a many classes in university wants to explore the new methods of forensics and just hopes for a case of his own to stick it to the old beardwearers
Joel, much to his dismay, has also joined the police forces (not that he had any other choice)
his father hopes he can rise up to be comissioner one day as he doesn’t see much else in his son but somehow he has to grow up into a respectable young man who can be married (in contrast to Joonas, Joel doesn’t see much in women, but he knows to keep silent about it😶)
poor Joel though is anything but keen on helping Joonas (at least they are partners) because he can’t even bear to see blood (he tends to faint which he finds really embarassing and he has thrown up on more than one occasion when visiting a crime scene - in contrast to Joonas who usually does it with too much after-work beer🍺)
now to Olli, the forgetful coroner🔪
“Where did I put the lung again?” - “It’s lying right behind you sir.”
he does an mazing job, it might just take him some time (finding all these organs again is quite difficult), but at least he’s of the good one’s and he loves to share a beer with Joonas and Joel
it tends to get quite lonesome among the dead, so he’s always happy to listen to Joonas’ stories and also his explanations of new analytical techniques and in exchange likes to tell about some interesting cases of his that always seem to quench Joel’s hunger🤢
he also has the tendency to talk with himself as he isn’t used to someone answering him (dead people are surprisingly silent)
now with Aleksi I don’t know yet what he might be working but he also belongs to the upper class
his role is more tragic as his friend gets murdered and he does his best to find someone to solve his case because whatever the police has come up with, it can’t be right and so he finds Joonas and Joel
who are not so pleased that Aleksi doesn’t leave their side, seems as if they’re a trio now trying to solve his murder
and Aleksi is smart and proves to be a good addition to the group (and also really really stubborn so there was nothing to be done about him joining the forces)
he also brings Tommi along who initially was hired as a simple servant in the house Aleksi is living in with his grandma (no Lady has yet been able to hold Aleksi’s interest - but he might have laid his eyes on someone now💘)
but by now Tommi has gotten to be a good friend, drives his cabby, shares his interests in the opera, and what is becoming necessary to solve this case: he’s good in defending them though he might not be inclined to use his fists but he will if it means to defend his friends💪
What’s missing? Ah yes, a case. Well, I’m not smart enough to come up with something that isn’t realized three lines into the story, but if I ever get a lightbulb-moment then I would love to write this fic.

I was wondering if I could get some advice. We have a wonderful fandom server, but there is a problem with it. There is one person who completely dominates it. She posts about her, her, her in all the different channels. She turns every conversation into something relating to her characters, her rp-experiences, her wanted plots. People get really tired and in the end the server dies, and is remade a few weeks later only for the same thing to happen again. I was wondering if there is any way to maybe tell her to "tone it down". She is not a bad person, it's just that she doesn't understand that not everything can be about her all the time. Is there a "nice" way to bring this topic to her attention? Thank you for your time!
Full disclosure, anon - I’ve never been a part of a group RP, so I might not be able to answer this very effectively.  Short answer - No, there’s not a nice way to do this.  Regardless of how you say it, you’re probably going to wind up hurting this person’s feelings - especially since it sounds like (from what you’ve described) she doesn’t really know/understand what she’s doing.  Chances are she just enjoys sharing, and enjoys talking, and she assumes everyone else enjoys her additions to the conversation just as much as she does.  
I’ll admit, I don’t really understand how one person can ‘take over’ a text-based group.  In theory, that sounds like it wouldn’t be an easy thing to do unless no one else ever shared anything.  Because, unlike a real conversation, there’s nothing to stop several conversations from going on at the same time, and in the same channel, and for everyone to be involved in all conversations.  
But, as I said, I’m not familiar with group RPs, so it’s likely I just don’t understand all of the dynamics of the situation.
If this were happening in a group I was running, I think I would try for deflection first.  Here’s what I mean - if someone chimed into a conversation in a way that seemed to derail the original conversation, then I would acknowledge them, but the go back to the initial conversation.  For example, “That’s really interesting, B.  Let’s talk more about that in a little bit, but I’d like to finish discussing this other point with A, first.”
This way you’re not completely ignoring B (which would be rude), but by not immediately talking about B’s thing, you’re letting B know that not everything is going to be instantly focused on them as soon as they share something.  Once B realizes this, it might teach them new sharing habits over time.
I really feel like talking to them should be a last resort.  For other ideas you might try Googling “What to do when someone monopolizes conversation” or something similar.  Most of the hits you’ll get will be in regards to in-person conversations, but some of the tips might still be useful.  Here are a few I found that had some good points that might work in an online setting:
Three Ways to Stop a Conversation Monopolizer By Debra Fine
Here’s How To Stop An Annoying Chatterbox From Rambling On By Kat Boogaard
How to Deal with Friends Who Talk at You By Rachel Rasker
How to Deal with People Who Dominate Conversation (Video) by Howcast (The video itself isn't that great, but the steps in the description might be useful.)
I know this isn’t much, anon, but I hope it helps a little.  Do our followers have any other suggestions that might help?
