6 Sentence Sunday-Sashnetra Superstore AU
I'm currently on a rewatch of Superstore, and the idea of Sashnetra as Amy/Jonah sprang to my head. I don't know if I'll continue this just yet, but here's some of the idea!
Thank you to @imtooobsessedrn for helping me with the casting for this! (Loosey as Mateo is freaking GENIUS)
“Happy Monday, everyone! Before we start the shift assignments, I’d like to welcome our new employees to our team.” Salina said in a chipper tone. Sasha was about to stand to introduce herself, but a bubbly blonde woman at the table in the front stood up.
“Hi everyone! I’m Loosey, I was one of the shift leads from one of the Connecticut branches, before I relocated here. I’m glad to be part of the team!” Loosey said with a huge smile on her face, before sitting down again.
Then everyone turned their head to Sasha as she timidly stood up, “I’m Sasha, nice to meet everyone.” she said, not wanting to say what really brought her into a dead-end retail job. 
At the end of the huddle and everyone was exiting the room, Sasha and Loosey were approached by a woman with long cherry red hair and piercing brown eyes. “You two are with me to start your floor training.” she led them down the corridor.
“Okay, Gail,” Sasha said as she read the woman’s nametag that was clipped to her vest. 
The woman turned back to look at both of them, “That’s not my name. They messed up on my original nametag, so I just grab whatever’s in the manager’s office.”
“Then what is your name?” Sasha attempted to ask, but the floor manager ignored her question as they were led into the store.

✨Hypermarket Superstore Au✨
Basically all of them work at a superstore- something kind of like Fred Myers 💀 lots of drama happens.
(This au underminds all mythology and the LmK lore btw 💀)
Basically MK has most of the jobs no one wants 💀 Shopping cart collected, shelf restocker, grocery bagged, and he also is forced to clean the bathrooms and messes in isles as well 💀 BUT he always has a great attitude and aspires to become one of the store’s assistant managers or whatever because he needs some kind of character goal and I thought it was funny.
Funnily enough, one of the store managers is Wukong, who literally doesn’t do much at all, but still has somewhat of a good reputation lolol. MK is aspired to be as awesome as him (for whatever reason) xD
Pigsy works at the deli, and Tang is another assistant manager as well as a cashier. Tang makes announcements a lot even if they are unnecessary. He’ll literally shout out an employee’s birthday over the intercoms lmfao- Tang “wanders” of to the deli a lot to chat up Pigsy and hope to convince the pig to give him free food.
RedSon is new and works in the flower/plant area. Alone he seems super gentle and caring with the plants he takes care of and pots but when Mk begins to try and get to know him he turns out to be a little short tempered and easily flustered. They totally end up crushing over each other and all the employees know and tease Mk about it.
RedSon’s parents own the store chain 💀 go figure- he just wanted to prove himself and get his own job. He loves flowers 🥺
Chang’e works at the fucking bakery ofc-
The Mayor is a loss prevention associate. He basically watches the store through cameras and every now and then walks around the store to watch out for shoplifters or anyone else doing illegal things. He also just like to walk around, watch people, cause drama among other employees and mess with Macaque 😛
LBD is the store manager because women in suit with power hehehe.
Macaque works in the little Coffe shop (Starbucks or whatever) inside the superstore. He and Wukong are Exes or just rivals with romantic tension lmfao. Wukong randomly picks fights with Macaque and goes over to the coffee place to cause trouble or accuse Macaque of causing mischief or trouble in the store and Macaque just mocks him and sometimes flirts to fluster the other.
Mei works at the electronic/gaming department and usually chills and plays her music on the Bluetooth speakers lmfao- she’s also a vlogger and records and blogs random shot going down at the store and usually posts it 💀 (insert video of Wukong and Mac in fistfight)
Yin and Jin work at customer service for some god forsaken reason.
Nezha is kinda the angsty cashier and bagger 💀💀 , he also stocks shelves time to time. He’s tired of everyone’s shit.
Sandy works in the flower/plant area too. I was tempted to make him a barista at the coffee shop but i thought it’d be cute to see the gentle giant working with flowers and shit. He also has a cat named Mo who lives in the garden area of the store. He just showed up one day and Sandy instantly fell in love with the little guy and begged Wukong to let him keep him there. Wukong ofc let him.
I’m making Bai He Macaque’s little cousin or niece because i thought it’d be cute if he watched her when her parents were busy. She’s just chill at the coffee shop and color or watch shows, and everyone at the store loves her because she’s precious.
Demon accountant is the gal who makes sure everything is accounted for and stuff. She’s basically the inventory control specialist. Added her in for some more drama lol-
You know the cute little dragon clan attendant Mei locked in a closet that one episode? Well I’m adding her too! And she works in the seafood department because I’m evil hahaha! Anyway Mei flirts with her time to time cause why not-
Spider Queen works in the jewelers addon section of the store. She’s dramatic and a little nosy, but her and Macaque get along quite well. (They’re gossip buddies along with Chang’e 💅)
Huntsman is like a shipment guy. He gets all the weekly shipments to the certain sections of the store they need to go. He’s kinda grumpy, but has a soft spot for Bai He (who doesn’t) and also (though he won’t admit) for Sandy 😝
Syntax works in the fucking pharmacy department because DRUGS
Scorpion queen works in the clothing department. She just wants a friend 🥲
Anyway I probably forgot someone but these are the IMPORTANT peeps lol

and what if i said modern au where jack is a floor supervisor at a shitty bigbox store with very shady business practices who's definitely a thorn in management's side but keeps the floor-workers running smoothly enough that they can't be bothered to replace him, and then davey gets hired as a floor-worker who absolutely refuses to be involved in any of the employees shenanigans even though no one takes their job seriously here, so he and davey grate on each other a LOT because what the hell, jack's just trying to manage working a shitty job for shitty pay, davey's not the only guy here with mouths to feed, but then one day jack makes an offhanded complaint about not being paid for his overtime and davey shoots up like a fucking dog and starts ranting about workers rights and labour unions and suddenly theyre writing up a list of demands and organizing the other employees and calling the NLBR and making out in storage closets every so often. what then huh.

lawrusso superstore AU but they’re very much still enemies and all of the karate kid trilogy happened just they end up working in a supermarket and having a terrible time (and falling in love).
johnny ran away from home because of sid and got a job at the first place he could think of. right now he’s living in his car but he’s going to probably soon do some couchsurfing at his friends’ places.
daniel has been working at the store for a few years now, HATES IT, is super competent and cannot fucking believe that johnny has found him here.
ali got a job there a few months ago to pay for college because her parents are not as set on sending her to medical school as she thought they would be but they accepted to finance half of it if she manages to show them she really wants it.
susan and barbara, like daniel, have a pretty steady job there. barbara manages the makeup section but she is not all that good at applying makeup and all her clients leave with neon green cheeks. susan really went up the ladder and she handles the employees and security (like dina).
for some reason the boys also get a job there because i just think dutch having to help a little old lady pick apples would be funny as hell.
im imagining this around the time they’re all 22/23 but im open to suggestions and ideas!
(terry silver comes to do his grocery shopping and annoy daniel pretty often and the group comes up with ways to either hide daniel or absolutely ruin silver’s day. barbara keeps dropping products in his coat pockets so he has to get searched at the exit every time)

fairy lights
Tumblr media
There were some customers you knew from a glance that you’d be talking smack about in the break room as soon as they left the building and there were ordinary ones that you forgot immediately. And there were the absolute unicorns like the impossibly hot guy standing in the middle of the aisle holding a box of fairy-lights in his hand like it was an alien artifact, a guy whose hands you noticed were well-made but sort of rough, like he worked in construction or landscaping and the way he squinted at the fairy-lights made it clear he was used to working in the blinding sun of a Texas afternoon. 
“Can I help you, sir?” you said. You’d been raised by your grandma, a stickler for manners, and management loved how easily you used sir and ma’am with the customers, even if Neveah who worked the baby section made fun of you for it.
“I dunno, maybe?” he said. He had a nice voice, a little gravelly. “My brother said these are popular, for girls. Saw it online, TicTac or whatever—”
“TikTok,” you offered. 
“Yeah, that,” he replied.
“For your niece?” you asked. He’d mentioned a brother and he wasn’t wearing a ring, just a beat-up watch.
“No, my own girls. I’ve got two, they have to share a room, bunkbeds. My brother said it looked like juvie, last time he came over.”
“That’s harsh,” you said, shrugging slightly, hating your store smock. He smiled and you saw you’d underestimated how much better he’d look with his lips curved, his dark eyes bright. You felt a little wild, decided to push. “They didn’t want to go shopping with their mama?”
“It’s just the three of us,” he said. “Their room could use a woman’s touch. I’m not good at that shit—‘scuse me, that stuff. I do new construction, renos, but not making the rooms look nice.”
“The thing with fairy-lights is you have to have enough of them,” you said. “Otherwise, they look kind of cheap and pathetic. Are you planning on putting the lights on the bunkbeds or the walls?”
“I figured I’d let them choose,” he said. 
“Okay, well, it’s not like those are on final sale or anything, but if you buy three, you get the fourth free, so maybe get four and if they don’t want that many, you can return them. Just save the receipt,” you said.
He nodded, dropped the box in his hand into the basket by his feet and you grabbed three more to give him. There was no reason his fingers would’ve grazed yours unless he was the one who did it.
He did it.
“You’ve been real helpful,” he said. “Got kids of your own?”
“No,” you answered. “Just some nephews and I go on TikTok. I’m not a Luddite.”
“Hey, they got a bad rap. They were protesting for better working conditions. They didn’t hate the machines, just the management.”
“I hear that,” you said.
“That’s why I work for myself,” he replied. “Only way to have a good boss.”
“Yeah, this place isn’t the worst, but it’s not like they go overboard to be nice,” you said. “The break-room snacks are just the store-brand knockoffs they can’t sell.”
“There’s a decent coffee-shop up the street, lattes and they have a barista,” he said. “My brother’s with the girls until I get home. If you wanted, Christ, this sounds so cheesy, I never do this, you know—”
“I can tell,” you said. “But my next break is in ten minutes. I could go for a latte.”

“six sentence sunday”
(for ppl who can’t count, and on a tuesday)
i was tagged by @cumbiazevran a few weeks ago but im slow as molasses. so here is (finally) an excerpt from one of my recent writings, a Superstore AU for Dragon Age, featuring Fenris (it was either going to be this or the Stardew Valley AU lmao).
Tagging @orlesianapologist @fivekoboldsinacoat @exhausted-archivist if’n yall want to participate
He'd been trying to sleep. Trying being the operative word. Why Fenris had agreed to let Sebastian use his loft for a prayer meeting, he'll never know. Of course they'd invited him to join, and of course he refused. He had a shift tonight, and he needed to sleep if he was going to stay on his feet, but as an out-of-tune hymn filled the air, he groaned and turned over on his mattress.
The phone lit up, bright in the room, darkened by blackout curtains. He grabbed it, expecting Solas to be badgering him about the vitamin scheme he'd been trying desperately to get him to sign up for, or maybe it was Dagna looking for Splatoon 3 partners, or maybe it was Merrill saying she forgot something in his car. He did not expect it to be Hawke. [2:32pm] Hey Fenris He sat bolt upright, blinked a few times. Was she really reaching out to him again? Hey Fenris. What did it mean? Oh. She was typing. His heart pounded in his chest as the three little dots flickered across the screen. And then? [2:33pm] Can you cover Donnic’s opening shift Monday? [2:33pm] I can give second shift Sunday to make it an easier transition [2:35pm] This is Hawke, by the way Of course. Work stuff. He sighed and tossed the phone to the side, wiping a frustrated hand across his face. What did he expect? A colleague was all he ever should have been to her in the first place, and now--for sure--it is all he would ever be. He remembered himself and reached for his phone. [2:42pm] Yes.Then he got up and put on his trainers. This nap wasn't happening. Might as well go for a run.

"Oh my God, Elvis. What have you done?!"
******
You look at him with your eyes wide and he takes a deep breath.
"I made a decision. And I'm happy with it." You shake your head and feel the tears forming in your eyes.
"No no no! This can't be the way it is! You have to go back!"
"It's too late now. Are you saying you don't want me?" A moment of panic flashes across his face at that thought. You grab his face with both hands and look into his eyes.
"That's not what I'm saying at all. You know I love you more than anything. I'd give anything to have you here with me forever."
"I am here!"
"But I know your future. This is wrong."
"Maybe my future is different now."
"No. That's not possible."
"Y/n, what's done is done. Can we just enjoy the fact that we're together and stop worryin' so much about how it might change things?"
You know you can't, but for his sake, you'll at least stop arguing about it. You'll figure out a way to get him home. Somehow.
"Yes. I am glad that you're still here."
"There. Now that's better." He wraps you in a hug and kisses your forehead. You realize that you're both still sitting there with nothing on and reach for your sweatshirt.
"No, come here." He pulls you to him until you're settled in the crook of his arm. "We never get to do this. One of us always leaves. I just want to hold you like this for a while."
When you realize he's right, you revel in the closeness of just laying there naked together. He plays with your fingers, kissing the tips of them periodically as you talk. He starts by telling you about the army, but that moves into a conversation that's deeper than anything you've had so far. You talk about faith, what it means to be alive, and what you both want to do and be before your time is up. There's a deep intimacy in this moment with him and you love him more by the second. You've never had a connection like this with any other person before. It feels like he's a part of you and the longer you're together, the stronger that feeling gets.
After a couple of hours, you get to a small lull in the conversation and you hear his stomach growl. You roll onto him and put your chin on your hands.
"Should we go get some food?"
"Food would be good." He smiles. "You got a diner in this town? I need a burger and shake."
You laugh at the thought of trying to find a classic style diner for him. There's one place in town he'd probably love, but they have a whole wall dedicated to pictures and memorabilia of him. So that's out of the question.
"Not a diner, but we'll find somewhere that has what you want."
"Not a diner?"
"They're kind of out of style."
"Oh." He laughs and remembers that he's not in 1960 anymore. "Speaking of out of style, I can't wear this uniform around."
"Yeah we need to go shopping. We'll just go to Target real quick and then get some food."
"Target?"
"Yeah it's kind of a superstore. Like Walmart but better."
"Walmart?"
"God sometimes talking to you is like talking to an alien. Just get dressed and we'll go." You stand up and throw his pants at him laughing. He gets a serious look on his face.
"Wait. Are there real aliens now? Have you been to space?" You try to match his serious tone.
"Yes. I went to Mars for vacation last year."
"What? Really?" His eyes are huge. You can't stand it anymore and the laughter comes pouring out of you.
"No! You goofball. No, I've never been to space. And if there's aliens, we haven't met them yet."
"Well, I don't know! 50 years is a long time for things to change!" As if on cue, your phone rings on your nightstand, playing a pop song. You grab it and see that it's your mom calling.
"Ugh." You toss the phone on the bed and he stares at it.
"What is that?"
"Oh lord." You shake your head and pull on some underwear and a bra. "How do I explain this? It's a phone."
"That's a phone?! Where is the cord?"
"It doesn't have a cord. Unless it's charging. It has a battery."
"And it plays music?"
"Yeah, that's my ringtone." He glances at it again.
"Wow. Can I see it?" When it finally stops ringing, you unlock the screen and hand it to him. He holds it like it might bite him. His response to technology is unbelievably endearing. He loves the idea of it, but he's also wary of it. You finish getting dressed while he experiments with the touch screen, accidentally opening apps and asking you to fix it. He's amazed when he finds the weather app. You show him that it's not just a phone, but a calendar, clock, calculator, and camera too.
"It does all kinds of things. It even has the internet."
"Internet?"
"Yeah, it basically has access to all of the information in the world. People put stuff on the internet and we can see it. Like, here." You take the phone and open a webpage to Google. "Ask a question."
"What kind of question?"
"Anything you want."
"Are aliens real?" You smile and type that into the search bar. You walk him through how to click on the websites to find the answer, even though his question can't really be answered.
"You can ask it pretty much anything." He looks at you with his eyes wide and you realize he's still standing there in just his underwear.
"Can I have one of these?"
"Maybe. Depends on how long you're here. But right now you need to get dressed." You take the phone from him and hand him his shirt. He throws it around his shoulders and buttons it and you hear him mumble under his breath.
"That's goddamn incredible."
******
After you shop and eat, you head back to your house to hang out for a while before you get ready to go out that night. You have plans to go with your friends to your favorite local bar that does karaoke on Sunday nights.
You make some spaghetti for dinner and eat it together in your living room. He compliments your cooking, even though you know it's very basic. Still, he eats two whole bowls, so he must like it a little bit. After you eat, you go to get in the shower to get ready to go out.
"Can I come?" He asks with a devilish grin. You know where this is headed, but you're not exactly complaining.
"I don't know, can you?" You respond slyly.
"Oh, I think I can." He laughs and slaps your ass. You both strip naked and tumble into the shower together. You get mostly clean and then his lips crash into yours in a fury of passion. You press your naked body against his and he turns the shower off. He wraps you in a towel and gets one for himself before walking you backwards into your bedroom. After you're dry, you both drop your towels to the ground. He grabs the back of your thighs and you jump so that your legs are around his waist, your mouths still pressed together in a passionate kiss. When you make it to the bed, he lays you on it and kisses down your neck to your chest, not stopping until he gets to your core. It's clear he's practiced since the last time you were together, since he moves his tongue on you with no hesitation.
"Oh my God, Elvis." You moan. He really knows what he's doing now. His tongue moves over and around your clit skillfully and he slides two fingers inside you to tickle the spot that makes you crazy. You feel the coil of your orgasm tighten and you grip the sheets with both hands. When you look down, he's looking up at you, face buried in your pussy as he watches you revel in the pleasure of his mouth on you. He stops just long enough to whisper into you.
"Come for me, baby." He continues to pump his fingers in and out of you while his tongue makes a point and licks directly over your sensitive bud. You cry out as your climax slams into you, pushing electricity out to your fingertips and back again. Wetness spills out of you onto his hand and he pulls back, smiling. He slides his fingers out and wipes his face with his other hand. He goes to line himself up with you, but you push him onto his back and situate yourself between his legs. You've learned a few things too.
You pump his cock with your hand for a bit, sliding his foreskin back, and then lean forward and lick a slow circle around the sensitive head.
"Oh, fuck, baby." You open your throat and push him as deep as he'll go into your mouth, pressing your nose into the soft patch of hair at the base of him. He leans his head back and opens his mouth. You continue to bounce on him quickly and he grabs your hair to hold it while you move. You slide your tongue up and down the bottom of his shaft and then swirl it around the tip again. He pulls your hair gently and thrusts slowly into your mouth. When you can tell he's getting close, you suck off the tip with a small pop and then look up at him. You kiss back up his body and he flips you over onto your back with him on top of you and pushes into you passionately.
"Sorry, honey, I couldn't wait any longer." He pants as he drives into you over and over again. You whimper in response, obviously not complaining about his pace. Your breasts bounce as he pounds into you and he watches them match his movements. You wrap your legs around him and he groans with the change in sensation.
"You like this, baby, when I give it to you hard like this?" He whispers in your ear as he fucks you with all his power.
"Yes, yes! I love it!" You respond, nibbling on his earlobe.
"Good. That's my good girl." He continues to slam his hips into yours until neither of you can stand it anymore and you come undone together, your orgasms hitting you at the same time. He shudders and groans and you cuss and flutter around him. Finally, he rolls off you and you both lay there breathing heavily. He leans over and kisses your shoulder gently.
And then you hear it. The buzzing sound. You sit up frantically, but a lightbulb goes off for him.
"Y/n! The portals!"
"What about them?"
"They open when we have sex!" He looks at you excitedly.
"Yeah, and?! You need to go!"
"No. I don't."
"Elvis, I'm not having this fight with you again."
"No, honey, I just mean I don't have to go right now. If this one goes away, we'll just make another one." You look at him with your eyes wide. He's right. Every time you've had sex, a portal has opened. It's like the connection between you is what's causing them to exist in the first place, so this ultimate expression of your connection forces them to open.
"You're right!" You laugh and he grabs you and pulls you close to him.
"I'm not going anywhere. Not right now." Not ever, he thinks to himself, but he'll break that part to you slowly.
The portal disappears with a pop and you stay there in his arms. But how many portals is he planning to ignore?
******
Later that night, a few of your friends come over to pre-party for the bar. Several of them recognize "John" from the last time he was around and he greets them happily.
One of your friends busts out a bottle of Fireball and starts pouring shots. You take one and drink it and Elvis holds one to his nose cautiously.
"Aw, come on, John. I know you like girly drinks. This is basically candy." Katie teases him, remembering his love for Malibu and pineapple.
"Haha." He mock-laughs teasingly in return. Then he closes his eyes and tosses back the shot. He winces a bit and then opens his eyes.
"Damn, alright, that's not bad." Everyone laughs and they pour another round of shots. He only does one more, but you do three. He looks at you with mild concern, but doesn't want to be the guy to tell you not to have fun.
Either way, you're feeling very relaxed by the time you get to the bar. You settle at a long table with your friends and lean over into his shoulder. He wraps his arm around you, half because he wants to touch you and half because he's holding you upright. You're the first one of your group to volunteer to sing and despite the amount of alcohol you've had, he's amazed at how you sound. Your voice is soulful and strong and it makes him love you even more. When you get back to the table, they're pestering him to sing.
"Sing an Elvis Presley song. We know you know them." You make eye contact with him nervously, but he shrugs. There's no way they would ever know who he is, even if he sings. He goes up and talks to the DJ and then settles behind the mic. The first few bars of Jailhouse Rock come through the speakers and he starts to sing.
You've never seen him sing on stage before. He's just as electric as they said he is and you're spellbound. All your friends clap and cheer, but you sit there in silent amazement. He does a few dance moves as he sings and you understand why girls threw their underwear at him. You'd drag him off the stage to the bathroom right now, if you could. You half consider it for a second, but he finishes the song and takes a bow. When he walks back over to the table everyone gushes over how much he actually sounds like Elvis. He laughs and thanks them and then you grab him and pull him into a deep kiss right in the middle of the bar. He pulls back after a few seconds.
"Honey, there are people everywhere."
"I don't care." Your words are getting a little fuzzy, since you've had two more drinks at the bar.
The rest of the evening passes and you continue to drink while he continues to watch you worriedly. You both sing a couple more songs and finish with Love Me Tender as a duet. You never lose your ability to sing, but when you stumble and he has to catch you on your way back from the stage, he decides it's time for you to go home. Katie agrees and volunteers to drive you both home. You try to argue, but your words are so slurred at this point that it's a lost cause. On the way to the car, he actually goes ahead and picks you up to carry you.
In the car, you go on and on about how much you love him and how much you love watching him sing. You actually even call him "Elvis" a few times and Katie raises her eyebrows.
"She's so drunk. She must think I'm the real thing." He laughs nervously. "Does she do this a lot?" Katie shrugs.
"Yeah. It started a couple years ago. She went to Memphis and came back different. I'm not sure if something happened to her or what."
He looks at you where you've fallen asleep in his lap. Leaving him in 1958 must've been harder on you than he thought.
When you get back to the house, he has to carry you inside. Katie offers to take care of you, she's done it a lot recently, but he says no.
"I've got 'er. Thanks for the ride." She nods and he takes you into the bedroom. He takes off your shoes and your jeans and is trying to sort out your bra clasp when you sit up in the bed.
"Oh no."
"What?" He gets his answer when you run to the bathroom and puke. He sighs deeply and then goes to help you. Luckily, his time in the military taught him a few things, so he brings you some water from the kitchen. Then, he holds your hair and rubs your back while you're sick. Eventually, your stomach is empty, so he gets you to drink some water and get back in the bed. There, he holds you to him and kisses your forehead. You mumble into his chest.
"I love you, Elvis."
"I love you too, honey." He settles in to sleep, worried about how you truly were while you were apart. He never even thought to ask if you were okay. In his mind, it's his fault that you're like this. There's no way he's leaving you now. Not like this.
******
Until Chapter 6!

☆ 1, 2, 3 NCT DREAM !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❝ jaemin really just broke the expensive ass
coffee machine.. how does he
expect to pay for that? ❞
Tumblr media
──── ﹒ 𓇬﹐⬦﹒ ⟡ SYNOPSIS !
𓈒 𓈒 𓈒 it's at times like this that you really wish you were born rich. in your opinion, there's nothing worse than having to wake up and get ready in the morning everyday just to be subjected to verbal abuse from adults who believe the world revolves around them. honestly, the fact that you somehow have enough patience to get up and go through this shit day after day is much more surprising to you then the next women that comes in attempting to assault you because you wouldn't give her a 50% discount.
unfortunately, the expensive ass tuition you have to pay and your basic life necessities mean that you can't exactly up and quit whenever you want to. you know if you hold on for just a little bit longer, you'll eventually be able to get through it, but with customers that enjoy berating you, managers that don't give two shits, coworkers that quite literally make you want to rip your eyes from their sockets, and all while trying to balance college work at the same time, your not sure if your remaining patience is gonna be enough to keep you from finally snapping at everyone.

Me waiting when someone decides to write Barbie and Gloria co-workers au fic.
Where Sasha steals/takes Gloria’s phone and decides to casually swipe some profiles on dating app on Gloria’s behalf and out of nowhere Barbie’s account pops up so she decides to swipe right and there would be a match but Sasha doesn’t know that Barbie is Gloria’s co-worker.
kinda inspired by Superstore episode Sal’s dead (S3E5)

Have a free TADC AU concept on me!:
The Amazing Digital Surplus
Basically, the circus is instead an online store reminiscent of a big box store (IKEA, Walmart) in a town of mannequins.
Pomni is the newest employee, who often helps customers with things.
Ragatha is a stockgirl
Jax helps with the carts
Zooble is a cashier
Gangle works at the pharmacy
Kinger is the janitor
Caine is the owner (obviously)
Bubble is his assistant
Full plot: Pomni gets a job at the Surplus to pay for her rent. Although the early episodes are workplace sitcom like shenanigans (like at The Office or Superstore), in the later episodes, Pomni learns about former employee Kaufmo and decides to find out what happened to him. There, she finds out the truth: the world she lives in is fake. She's a human along with her fellow employees trapped in a digital world. Rallying them to remember their lives and escape, Caine corrupts every recurring character a la Pibby to try and get them to stay. Although Pomni finds the exit and thinks she's escaped, she finds herself in a new body along with the rest and Caine begins to reset their memories again.
Anyone wanna write this with me?
