I prefer if it was no powers at all and they're both mere mortals in the au
for the skater one, right?
for context and prompt~<3
lmao<3 fair i guess but also grrrrrrr~<3
i'm not a big fan of removing powers/attributes from canon to go with regular ol' humans, humans, and more humans au's. i'm just not. might be that i'm not a fan of humans as a species in general but the overhumanification of every damn character can tend to bug me
if we knew any aliens/alternate species/evolved homo races in real life? it'd be considered race/species swapping no question, which can also be done fine and i don't mind artists exploring, but still just not a big fan of it from a personal perspective
i can read them fine and even love an au when well done~<3! but if i'm writin' a humans au, you can bet your ass i'ma give them powers at some point (i probably won't do it for legit aliens like kal-el ever tho)<3<3<3
it's just too much to play with~! but also, no powers tends to bore me. i get that some love that kinda stuff but nah. there's just too much to explore *with* powers for me that i die without~!
like superman's super dick<3<3<3
lol sorry for the rambling~<3

when i'm watching the feeds (sometimes high asf but not tonight) I realize how crazy the concept of this show is. like you just sit in the house..........and talk to people. like that's all there is to do everyday. my social battery is already pretty low in the real world, I just know I would go insane in that house

Is Jean a clingy person? Is Jean scared that MC will abandon him? Can we lessen his obsession by creating distance and boundaries with Jean? How would Jean react if MC tries to make him see a therapist?
Jean is a very clingy person who absolutely worries at all times that his sweetheart might try to leave him. Distance and boundaries won't really help, they'll only convince him that you're trying to hide something from him.
He would go to therapy, but he wouldn't really get anywhere with it. He wouldn't be honest with the therapist, and he'd be reluctant to talk about anything. And therapy requires a willing patient so... no dice.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

that moment when you cross the point of no return with a character should be accompanied by a specific chime i think. like 🔔 congratulations! this one has been installed in the Permanent Collection and you will never stop thinking about them as long as you live

Soap refuses to wear condoms, insists he's tracking your cycle and everything will be fine. Except when you text him: "Good news I got my period" and his immediate response is: "How's that good news?" you realize you misunderstood what he was tracking.

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
