The Secret Life of Ma Plinth
Sejanus paused, new thoughts entering his mind. He couldn’t stop himself from asking the question that had nagged at him since he had learned about it the day before.
“Ma, did you grow up…like Coryo?” The implication of Sejanus’ words hung in the air like a dark cloud.
Ma removed her hand from his, taking a blanket from the couch and wrapping it around herself. “I did.”
“So, you didn’t have enough…food?” He tried to get her to elaborate.
“We didn’t have enough of anything, Sejanus,” she said as her face tightened, her gaze intense and unwavering.
Sejanus tried again. “But I’m sure it wasn’t like your parents chose to be poor-“
“My parents consistently made choices that only made all of their children’s lives harder,” she interrupted tensely, and Sejanus felt discomfited. “Especially mine.”
Sejanus could tell she didn’t want to tell him more, but he couldn’t help his curiosity; he needed to know.
“Why did you file for emancipation, Ma?” he asked bluntly.
Alessandra stared at the space just behind Sejanus, her face blank as she replied tersely, “I didn’t have any other choice.”
***
Alessandra Plinth became an emancipated minor at the age of 16, later inspiring her son's boyfriend, Coriolanus Snow, to do the same. This is her story, starting with a quick prologue.
She stared at the ground, her hands fidgeting with the edges of her uniform skirt, which he realized was starting to fray. “I don’t have any money for lunch.”
“Did you forget it at home?”
She shook her head, “I’ve never had any lunch money, Mr. Flint.”
Mr. Flint blinked as he started to put the pieces together. “Alessandra, when was the last time you had something to eat?” he asked gently.
Her face flushed as her stomach growled, and she shifted uncomfortably. “Friday.”
It was Monday.

Family of Distinguished People.
So like what if, the Fenton family is just a family full of heroes, villains, and vigilantes. like.. just imagine a long line of people that had or has contributed to the world somehow. Like the Fenton parents as Supervillains, Jazz as a Vigilante, Danny as Hero. Dani just decides to travel not too interested, but does help with her family if needed, Dan does the same thing.
BUT WHAT IF joker is actually a close relative of the Fenton Family (ex. Uncle, Cousin,Family Friend) and like he's just there all happy with his (found)family during family reunions, birthdays and shit.
And the batfam are just like so confused and stressed to why the joker goes missing once a month.
While Joker is literally having a game of Monopoly with the elementary kids at amity park (the kids couldn't bother, they've saw scarier things they handled scarier things) cue Joker giving the kids a hundred dollars because he lost.
This is just one of my what if prompts, that i got locked up in a vault. Might delete this later who knows.

im just gonna come right out and say it:
pretty much everyone in this fandom portrays Silver as this perfect, flawless, polite, beautiful, princely, romantic gentleman who can do absolutely no wrong in his life ever. which is… not really accurate at all.
he’s odd. he struggles with showing emotions and doesn’t understand social cues very well. his dorm uniform vignette is literally about how people find him strange and unapproachable due to his lack of expressiveness. in his lab coat vignette, Jamil straight up calls him weird to his face and he fully agrees without hesitation.
and in one of his voice lines, he calls Yuu strange just for wanting to hang out with him. stop and think about that for a second. he considers himself boring and doesn’t expect anyone would want to spend time with him. maybe he used to try and make friends, but people kept avoiding him, saying that he wasn’t fun to be around.
he’s not the handsome guy that everybody in the school falls for, he’s the quiet kid who doesn’t say much or has any friends outside of his own personal circle. and i think that has a lot of potential for angst.

Actresses being tortured on the set by male directors is a massive historical and present day scourge of the film and TV industries and it's really SO common when you look into it. like from Kubrick terrorizing Shelley Duvall (and only her) on the set of the shining to Tarantino strangling Diane Kruger until she passed out to Hitchcock replacing fake birds with real birds after Tippi Hedren rejected his advances (in order to scare and physically injure her as a punishment for not fucking him) to James Cameron almost literally drowning Kate Winslet to an actress on GOT being waterboarded ten hrs straight to get like a minute of footage to Brando improvising an unscripted rape scene on the last tango in Paris set with the directors permission that ended up traumatizing Maria Schneider (in fact quite a lot of the gratuitous, graphic rape scenes in film were included for the sadistic pleasure of the male directors at the expense of the actresses).
The list goes on and on and I could seriously talk for ages about how revolting it is that these men still have active careers bc the industry just tolerates it. No piece of art is worth inflicting this disgusting and unnecessary abuse on actresses (and it's ALWAYS the actresses isn't it, never the actors. Hmmm wonder why). We call these men auteurs and geniuses but they're really just pathetic abusive sacks of shit. I want to impale every male director who behaves like this and I want their rotting corpses displayed as a part of the universal studios tour.
