You got me, curious about the inscryption x hadestown au, explode your ramblings and go insane sharing your thoughts GO GO GO
AWESOME OK OK OK. disclaimer like i saaid in the notes about that post idk if its even an interesting au or compelling story, we made it sleep deprived while someone was joking around with our p03 and leshy. its a dumb silly au and it makes no sense but its MY cringe baby 😤😤😤 so. its not a shipping au despite hadestown being . yk. but theere is some shipping for plot reasons.
Hades - Leshy (I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS. you can tell i put a lot of thought into his and P03's relationhip in this au) Persephone - P03 (the fucking themes. the fucking THEMES.) Hermes - Grimora / Magnificus, haven't decided yet, leaning more towards grimora but i really want all 4 scrybes included :[ Orpheus - Luke (i hate that tuber boy sometimes but god damn it he will carry my story :salute emoji:) Eurydice - Kaycee. duh. (note: kaycee and luke r not shipped together in this au, they just exist to cary the plot) the fates - one of the scrybes cohorts because i think itd be funny. probably leshy's just bc of the hades thing but i think it could work with another's.
ive rewritten this post like 8 times because i just ramble endlessly about my little cringe baby au (none of my aus are good its all serotonin factory here boss).
SO PLOTLINE. i only have a feew songs in my head but the jist i it takes place after the old_data situation and p03 is away from leshy for the spring and summer n thats where luke initially learns about kaycee and starts researching her death and junk. major plot points i have is luke playing against leshy and reluctantly being told more information about her death, and its revealed he has her death card. other plot points: p03 staying with leshy over the other half of the year and their Strained Marriage (tm).
Tumblr media
this lyric is so them. they hate each other theyre deeply in love their marriage is failing but they stay together despite it all nd in the end they try again. i know i kissed you once before but i didnt do it right can i try again and again and again /lyric does tht explain it. theres so many themes
anyway. i dont have a lot of the plot fully fleshed out bc tbh it doesnt make sense and mking it work with both stories is taking me a minute. but i love all the dumb little plot points i have made.
ithe song how long is their dynamic FR FR FR FR.
im trying to figure out how to encorperate orpheus going to the underworld nd trying to leave with eurydice into the au but like i might need to tweek the plot a bit bc its alreaady not 1.1 wwith hadestown story but still. the reasaon p03 and leshy are more fleshed out is bc this whole au started with me comparing our leshy and p03 to hades and persephone X] im just a humble kaycee fictive i lov my blorbos my oingy boingys.... :] the characters ever. but like i gen dont like tht luke and kaycee r the only decent options for orpheus nd eurydice bc i dont want to make them romantic!!!!! i hate the tuber guy but also their dynamic could be so silly. my aromantic ass making the iconic greek myth couple PLATONIC FRIENDS. happy ending the boy doesnt get the girl X]
more lyrics with THEMES.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like do u get my image here. grips ur shoulders. do you see them.
i cant screenshot all the lyrics but GOD. any way the wind blows is kaycees song FR FR FR.... her main character moment. right b4 she dies X]
some feverish shouting from me at like 5am last night
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

if anyone wants to recommend musicals to me I would fucking adore that. Until then, here are some suggestions:
Love in Hate Nation-- LET’S GO LESBIANS! 1960s sapphic love story taking place in a girls’ reformatory. Also, trans girl played by trans actress!!! Some of the amazing songs are “I Hope” and “Oh Well”. Susannah Son wants to be a singer, her performative activist boyfriend is gross and also wants her to marry him so he’ll have better options politically. Sheila Nail is so fucking cool and I love everyone in this. My brain cuts out about this I’m so sorry babes. There is not a cast recording but there IS an original cast bootleg on youtube.
Holy Musical B@man!-- If you liked the goofiness of 1960s Batman and Robin, but think “man, these guys should’ve been able to swear! And also should have had a candy themed villain!” this is the musical for you. Also if you’ve heard of the very queer Harry Potter musical that JK herself tried to sue over, it’s made by the same group <3. As usual with Team Starkid, whole thing is up for free on youtube by the creators.
Firebringer-- Speaking of the same group... Cave people sapphics who I think are bi or pan. I love them and they’re all so dumb. Also, if you’ve seen the “I don’t really wanna do the work today” vine, that comes from this. I do not remember any of the second half other than one of them taking the ring the other is proposing with... to propose. And the “*blows kiss*” “fuck no, Zazz” “duly noted”. Kind of like a shitpost musical. Once again, free by creators. Actually, check out any of their musicals.
The Prom-- In Indiana, Emma just wants to take her girlfriend to the prom, and in response, the PTA cancels it. With some help from some broadway actors looking for good publicity, they manage to pull it off. So, to summarize, teen lesbian gets gay uncle who knows what she’s going through!! This musical makes me cry every goddamn time. There is a movie now, and I’m very happy about that because *high profile gay rep on netflix*, but I personally did not like the direction they took with it. They put a weird amount of emphasis on biological rather than found family in the movie, and were a little too forgiving when it came to trauma from family for being gay. Also, they took away Emma being butch. This was sadly (loosely) based on a recent true story from I think 2012. Also, was the first gay kiss in the Macy’s parade. You know those movie musicals the straight girls in theater like? The music is similar, but gayer, and for some reason that makes me so fuckng happy. I think it’s because non-queer people have had musicals for so long, and those normally have a 60s vibe, and the music in this does too and it feels more classic?? Sapphic promposal song (het at the beginning). “Unruly Heart” and the end of Act 1 will break you. Please ignore the bad wigs.
Spies Are Forever-- GAY SPIES GAY SPIES GAY SPIES!! Curt Mega (played by... Curt Mega) lost his partner Owen during a mission. Now, he’s just trying to get back into spying like Owen would want. I fucking weep every time. Also, a song about comphet (at 6:36)!! And here is a video essay on how it relates to the Lavender Scare. I want you all to know that everyone also headcanons the femme fatale spy in it as either a lesbian or aroace, which uh, makes sense. Also high quality videos put up by creators. They had Jewish people making fun of Nazis while writing this, but “Not so Bad” is... kinda bad. “Torture Tango” has so much goddamn sexual tension and becomes devastating.
Hadestown--  If you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, it’s like that, except capitalism part 1. Orpheus is a poor musician, Eurydice dies, just like the myth. Except, the Great Depression post-apocalyptic setting that works better than it probably should. There are actually 3 soundtracks: the concept album, off-Broadway, and Broadway. I personally don’t like the concept album purely based on vibe. Off-Broadway has an absolutely gorgeous sounding Orpheus, and if you’ve heard of the disaster that was Spiderman: Turn Out the Dark, then you’ve heard of surprisingly amazing Broadway Orpheus Reeve Carney. The Fates are gorgeous and I’ve decided they’re queer. Tony’s performance link here. Explores relationships, with Hades and Persephone’s aging relationship mirrored by Orpheus and Eurydice’s relatively new one. Anyway, unionize.
Jasper in Deadland-- If you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, it’s like that, except capitalism part 2. Jasper is a teen who’s best friend Agnes is pretty much the one good thing left in his life. His mom left, he got kicked off the swim team (he’s manic pixie dream boy in this, especially for swimming), and Agnes dies at the beginning trying to show Jasper that she’s brave and he should be too. So, he bravely ventures into Deadland to find her, meeting Gretchen the tour guide along the way. He also finds out that since he’s still living, he can bring memories back to the dead. Songs like “Stroke by Stroke” (he’s uh, definitely a teen, guys) and “Living Dead” (I shared a prinxiety animatic of that on here a while ago).They blend Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Christian, and whatever Dante’s Inferno counts as together to create Deadland. Story’s kinda hard to follow from the soundtrack, so if u wanna learn how it all ties together message me.
Death Note Musical-- Okay babes, here’s where it gets tough. It was written originally in English, and there is a spectacular English concept album, but the only productions have been in South Korea, Japan, and I think Taiwan. Listen to it anyways, find a bootleg of it with english subtitles. It has so much gay tension and also a truly ethereal character who seems to be a lesbian who is also either demisexual or demiromantic. If any of y’all saw the anime like me, it kind of cuts out the arc after episode 26. I personally thought it was actually a better story for it.
Alice by Heart-- Okay, this one makes me fucking cry every goddamn time. In WW2, these poor goddamn kids are all alone in the Tube System (is that what y’all call it? genuinely asking here) with none of their parents but still some grownups. Alice’s best friend Alfred is dying of tuberculosis, and to try to have one last thing together they start reading Alice in Wonderland, only for Nurse Hart to rip it apart to try to separate healthy Alice from dying-from-TB Alfred. It doesn’t work, and Alice proclaims she “knows it all by heart”, She tries to linger in the story with Alfred to have more time with him, he keeps trying to move it along because he’s dying and wants to finish it one last time. Themes are growing up and grief I guess.
Last I checked, there is a bootleg for all of these on youtube. Have fun!

Inktober - Day 5: Long
Pairing: Kirishima Eijirou/Bakugou Katsuki Rating: T (for language) Other tags: Manga spoilers, but only about the living situation
Art by Kumi. Words by Red. Read it on AO3! Please, do not repost anywhere.
Exhaustion
Eijirou was beat. Quite literally. His body ached in way too many places to count, and whatever muscles weren’t sore just screamed from an overall feeling of fatigue that kept his shoulders slouched as he slowly made his way back to the dorms.
Training during third and fourth period had been gruelling. Especially for him, since he had had to act as a literal human shield for the “rescue” team as they walked down a long, narrow hallway. It was supposed to serve as practice to see how they would do in a hostage situation in an enclosed space. Thankfully, the rescuers succeeded in aiding the victims and managed to keep the damage to the building to a minimum.
But it was all because he had sustained most of the attacks from the “villains”; specifically, Bakugou’s explosions. Eijirou offered to be the shield himself since he had proved to be immune to his explosive quirk in the past, and they knew Bakugou would charge head first against the hero team.
What neither he nor his teammates had accounted for, though, was the fact that Sero and Ashido would come and attack them at the same time, trying to bind them and slowing them down, respectively, while Bakugou kept exploding the hallway and windows.
There was so much debris and so many glass shards flying around, at the same time the villains’ very effective attacks were being directed at them, that Eijirou had trouble maintaining his hardening quirk in the correct places of his body to protect himself and his fellow heroes.
All in all, yes, they had cleared the test, but his body was screaming at him for a warm bath. It was enough that he had had to endure the rest of day, wincing every time he moved and trying not to cry out in the middle of class. And on top of all that, as part of the Hero course, they had an extra seventh period to sit through, which meant yet another hour of class!
By the time he made it out of the bath - his legs barely keeping him upright as he dragged his feet across the floor -, Eijirou just wanted to pass out, not even caring about dinner.
But, to his surprise, someone was waiting for him just outside the boy’s baths. Eijirou stopped in his tracks and stared at Bakugou, who had already bathed before him and changed into comfortable clothes, it seemed.
“Oi, Kirishima,” he said with his usual gruffness.
Eijirou waited for him to continue since it looked like he had more to say, but the sound of most of their classmates finally reaching the dorms made Bakugou rethink things.
“Come on,” was all he added before he started moving towards the lift to go up to their rooms, not even turning around once to check if Eijirou was in fact following him.
The scene kind of reminded Eijirou of Eurydice and Orpheus’ myth - minus Orpheus’ concern for his partner, of course.
Eijirou facepalmed as they stepped out of the lift when they reached the fourth floor. He could not believe he had just compared Bakugou to a freaking prophet from Greek mythology. Not to mention he had compared himself to the guy’s dead wife.
He needed to get a grip, preferably by sleeping for the next twelve or so hours after hearing whatever it was that Bakugou wanted to tell him. Or maybe stop hanging around Kaminari once he got started on one of his mythology rants.
Whichever option, it needed to happen now before he face-planted and took a short three-hour nap on the floor.
Bakugou noticed his spaced-out expression and quickly invited him into his room - or rather, he opened the door to his room and didn’t slam it in Eijirou’s face. In Baku-go, that meant you were allowed in, as far as he knew.
Eijirou walked in and closed the door behind himself, the click sounding loud in the otherwise quiet space. It was kind of eerie, actually. Usually, the dorms were very lively at this time of day and, wherever you went, there was always someone talking, laughing or listening to music. Today, apparently, everyone was tired after the many rescue exercises they had to take part in.
A hand waving from side to side in front of his face brought him back, his eyes lidded as he blinked slowly and tried to focus on Bakugou’s grumpy face.
“Sit,” Bakugou said and pointed towards the bed. There he saw that Bakugou had rearranged the pillows against the headboard and had tried to straighten out the covers a little bit.
Despite being slightly confused still, Eijirou did as he was told and sat down on the soft duvet, cross-legged.
“Take off your shirt,” Bakugou told him as he turned around and rummaged in one of his drawers, searching for something. Eijirou raised one of his eyebrows and tried to make a joke.
“Look, Bakugou, if this is some weird scheme to see me naked, you could’ve just-”
“That’s not it!” came the loud reply, and Eijirou couldn’t help but laugh at the panicked expression that painted itself across Bakugou’s face. “And scoot forwards a little,” he added, purposefully avoiding looking at Eijirou’s body.
That’s odd, Eijirou thought, he's seen me without my short on whenever I wear my hero costume. Even today in training.
Again, Eijirou did as he was told, too exhausted to actually question the motives behind his friend’s requests, and was surprised when Bakugou sat behind him.
“Um, Bakugou, what are you-” Eijirou started saying but was quickly interrupted, although the next sentence was spoken in a much smaller voice than before.
“Just... shut up and let me try something, okay?”
Instead of saying anything, Eijirou sighed and just sat there, unmoving, waiting for Bakugou to... do whatever it was that he wanted to do to his bare back. Oh, he shouldn’t have allowed his mind to go there. It was probably not- Bakugou, he wouldn’t-
He was so lost in thought that Eijirou almost yelped when he felt Bakugou’s cold hands come into contact with his shoulders. His hands were slippery, and a sort of fruity smell reached Eijirou’s nose. 
Bakugou... Bakugou was giving Eijirou a freaking back massage.
“My dad used to do this whenever he noticed my shoulders were sore after I came home from school.”
“Because of your hero costume, right? I’ve noticed that the larger blasts send your arm back a lot whenever you pull the grenade pins.”
“Yeah, he used this particular oil cause it’s supposed to sooth and heal aching muscles.”
After that short exchange, they remained silent for a while, Eijirou’s mind racing with questions as to why Bakugou was doing this. He now felt incredibly awake.
“Fucking relax already. Your shoulders are all tense,” Bakugou said and punctuated the statement by lightly hitting the area until Eijirou relaxed his posture.
Bakugou continued his ministrations without saying anything else. And Eijirou had to fight the urge to start moving. He needed to ask.
“Hey, Bakugou, what, ah, brought this on?” Eijirou heard Bakugou’s little intake of breath, followed quickly by a sigh. He took a minute to answer.
“You exerted yourself today,” Bakugou’s voice was almost a whisper, “idiot.”
Eijirou laughed, “What are you talking about? My whole team tried very hard today! You guys were tough to get through.”
“Yeah, sure,” he scoffed. “As always, Four-eyes ran really fast at the very end, carrying grapes-for-hair and Round Face to the designated safe area outside, and before that, I saw you got a lot of help from Monkey Tail. Please, Kirishima, if you hadn’t been there, those two wouldn’t have stood a chance against us.”
“So what? Even if that were true - which is not, by the way, we came up with the plan together -, what does that have to do with me getting a back rub from you?”
Eijirou hadn’t meant for the comment to sound quite as accusatory but he had to defend his teammates!
“Because, shit-for-brains, by acting as their shield and bearing most of the attacks today, you got hurt. Don’t think I didn’t notice how you kept squirming in your chair because you couldn’t get comfortable in class.”
“Still, that doesn’t explain why-”
“And!” Bakugou interrupted him again, his grip on Eijirou’s shoulders becoming a little painful for a second before he realised how much force he was using and let go of him completely. “And... I know you were mostly using your quirk to repel my explosions so I thought I c-could, you know, offer to do something to... help you.”
The end of his sentence was said so quietly, Eijirou thought he had imagined the whole thing in a very vivid dream. But, a few seconds later, when he felt Bakugou’s trembling hands situating themselves on his back as he resumed the massage, Eijirou was sure that this was Bakugou’s weird - and convoluted - way of showing he actually cared and was trying to make it up to him.
“So~,” Eijirou said, a smile tugging at his lips before he could stop it, and glanced back at Bakugou, his own face twisted, as if it had caused him physical pain to admit what he had said. “You just felt guilty, huh?”
“No! What are you-”
“Because!” Eijirou cut him off the same way Bakugou had done several times earlier. “You have nothing to worry about. You know I’m tough! I’m one of the few people who can endure your annoying quirk-”
“Hey! Wait a sec-”
“-but I do appreciate it,” he continued, smiling at Bakugou over his now tension-free shoulder. “So, thank you, Bakugou!”
“Shut up, already! And you’d better not fucking tell a soul about this, okay? Or I’ll never hear the end of it!”
Eijirou closed his eyes and laughed as he finally allowed his body to relax under Bakugou’s expert hands.
“Fine, fine,” he conceded. “Whatever, I won’t say anything to anybody, Explody. Now, tell me. Why do you always have to destroy whatever building we’re practising in? You need to calm down a bit or the teachers are seriously going to put you in house arrest again or something.”
“I said shut up already! I can’t fucking do this if you keep laughing and moving around! Geez, I swear...”
Day 7: Shy (Part 2) Day 12: Shattered (Part 3)
A/N: Baku-go is a little play on words between Bakugou’s last name and the fact that the kanji for language, 語, is pronounced “go” in Japanese (as in “Japanese language”, 日本語, which is read “nihongo”). Apologies for the lameness and expect it to happen again sometime in the near future. Thank you for reading! :D

hello! i’m hannah, and i’m back into the rp world after a monster hiatus away. i’ve got a decent amount of free time these days, so i’m hoping to find a couple of people to 1x1 with! under the cut are a bunch of plot ideas, including some fandom related things. if you’re interested in anything you see feel free to send me a message or like this post! and, if you’d like to know more about me, my about me and guidelines pages can definitely help.
i play males and females, and i do m/f and f/f. only rpers over 18, pls find the plots and ideas after the read more!
GENERAL IDEAS
i’m a sucker for anything related to spies and espionage. give me spies working for rival organizations, or agents working for an organization that isn’t what they thought it is (a la alias), or spies that are assigned on missions together but hate each other and have to work together. there is really no way to go wrong with this so long as there is lots of angst and conflict!
one of my all time favorite plots is art thieves. a pair of high profile thieves stealing art and jewelry and other expensive things from all over the world. maybe they’re a team? maybe they’re rivals? or maybe one is retired and the other comes to find them and bring them back into the ring because there’s trouble afoot?
ohhh and royalty, a modern royalty plot would be amazing. it could be any of the classic tropes -- two people betrothed to be married but they hate each other. or maybe one is betrothed to another person? secret romances are my jam.
i’m myth trash which means i’m always down for mythology-based plots that are retelling of stories or personifications of mythic figures in present day. favorites include zeus + hera, odysseus + penelope, orpheus + eurydice, artemis + athena, aeneas + dido, cassandra + helen of troy. but lbr there are so many possibilities and dynamics.
ok but i’m also fairy tale trash so plots involving retellings of fairy tales or personification of fairy tales are right up my alley. they could be the originals or the disney versions, i’m not picky. some of my favorites are peter pan, lady and the tramp, sleeping beauty, snow white and rose red, and the snow queen.
historical plots are great and one of my favorite eras is the roaring 20′s -- so a great gatsby inspired plot would be fun. give me socialites causing trouble, rich millionares throwing extravagant parties, or a journalist trying to dig up all the secrets of the upper class. soooo many options here!
old hollywood plots, tho -- actors and actresses caught up in the glamour of the film world. give me studio drama and set up romances and elaborate films with the cast having affairs. i’m all about anything related to the studio era of hollywood and beyond. think like 1930′s-1960′s.
who remember’s the iconic the wedding planner with jlo? give me something where the wedding planner falls in love with the bride or groom. OR maybe it’s something like this where it’s someone who believes in love and someone else who thinks it’s a farce?
this is always posted about but tbh i want one of my own, so something based around a mystery-solving duo/group a la nancy drew or scooby doo gang plS? two childhood rivals who both liked to solve mysteries and go off to college only to return home after being away for awhile and find themselves sucked back into the mystery business. or maybe it’s two private detectives who get stuck on a case together?
this modern retelling of tangled sounds like fun tbh. 
HP RELATED
founder’s era
rowena/helga  —  two women who are at the heart of creating a school for magic and also having to deal with godric and salazar at odds with each other? two women who end up spending so much time together that they wonder what it’d be like to be together always? i can play rowena or helga, but tbh i just really love the idea of them being in love and telling godric and salazar to fuck off. 
first war
james/lily + sirius/oc   — yeah, yeah, i know. this is a long shot, but it’s been eons since i was able to play my oc against sirius, and i’m dying to try it again. i’d really like to double up and play all four of these guys together -- i will happily play james! i can give you the full rundown of my oc as well...just ask!
frank/alice  — these TWO I SWEAR. they’re so cute i love them and i’m 100% willing to play frank or alice. give me their auror adventures and them having neville and we can au if you’d like where they don’t lose their minds or we can keep their heartbreaking ending it’s all up to you!
au’s + etc’s  — i’m pretty much open to any au’s and ships (no sirius/remus pls ty) and would be interested in playing any of these characters, so if something interests you let me know: marlene mckinnon, dorcas meadows, amelia bones, alastor moody, alecto carrow, and fabian prewett.
trio era
pansy/harry  — this ship gives me life? like they’re so polar opposites in so many ways and pansy flat out was willing to give harry up to the dark lord, but like, pansy was also the victim of jk rowling’s hate so she deserves better than that storyline. i’d love to play these two out after the war when harry and ginny are falling apart and pansy is still trying to figure her life out and feels like the outcast. (i could really only see myself playing pansy here)
viktor/hermione  — i would LOVE to see these two run into each other after the war and hit it off and end up falling for each other again. krum is still a quidditch star and hermione has a badass career and they’re just trying to navigate everything and idk I JUST LOVE THESE TWO.
cho/ginny  — IMAGINE THIS: two gals who go pro after the war and play on rival teams but whoops fall in love and become a power couple in the wizarding world. i can play cho or ginny just pls give me quidditch babes.
crackships + other  — there are so many other ships i love in this gen (alicia/charlie + penelope/oliver are the two biggest tbh yes they’re crack but INDULGE ME OK)  that i’d be willing to play, so just throw them out there. some other characters i’d be interested in playing: alicia spinnet, oliver wood, penelope clearwater, luna lovegood, daphne greengrass, astoria greengrass, blaise zabini, and charlie weasley
miscellaneous
quidditch  — this could be set during any era, any time. give me quidditch players and rivalries and falling in love and friendships. there’s so much potential here!
pureblood society  — this has always been an interest of mine: exploring the pureblood culture pre-first war. give me arranged marriages, feuding families, lavish parties, and soooo much gossip.
cursebreakers  — we don’t know terribly much about cursebreakers, but it’s such a cool job and there’s so much potential so i’d love to have a duo that travels the world tackling magic from centuries past.
original characters  — i mean, there’s so much possibility in this world that we can definitely do anything and everything. just toss out an idea!
OTHER FANDOMS
pokemon  — i have NEVER NOT WANTED a couple pkmn lines. original characters -- trainers, gym leaders, coordinators, etc. give me EVERYTHING we can make just about anything work tbh. we can even come up with a new region (just no new pkmn pls my brain couldn’t take it).
riverdale  — yes this show i loved it i love all the garbage characters and i’d love to rp some of them? we could au it or focus on what happened immediately following the season one finale. i’d love to do archie/betty, jughead/veronica, or cheryl/veronica, and i’d happily play archie, veronica, or cheryl!
gossip girl  — yes ok it’s an old fandom i’m old i get it. but consider this: ignore everything after season two. we could play chuck and blair how they should’ve been done. we could au it and have blair go to yale. my favorite ships are chuck/blair, dan/serena, and nate/blair. i’d prefer to play blair, serena, or nate!
