#there's just so much potential !!

[boku-no-anime-phase]

Some evil FMA AUs etc that I think are fun

Riza Hawkeye creating a squad of flame alchemists loyal to her and using them for her own (or Mustang's) purposes

Mustang's body used as a host for Greed instead of Ling's

Rose joins the military to try to watch over Ed, a la Hawkeye to Mustang

Sibling homunculi defect from Father together with Greed (bonus: to Ed's chagrin, they view him and Al as something like uncles); now they're all on the run from their dads

Ling not feeling easy in his own mind after Greed leaves - it's too quiet in there

Scar gets his brother's reconstruction arm instead

Winry gets adopted & trained by Hawkeye

Re-embodied Al donates his armor to a cat rescue so it can always hold cats hehe

Olivier as the boys' parent figure instead of Izumi

Found family for the boys comprised of Mustang, Hawkeye, the Mustang Gang, and Mustang's family (his "sisters" and Madam Christmas)

Mustang dies instead of Hughes, and Hughes carries on his work to honor his memory, despite not being as ambitious as Mustang was

The boys as Ishvallans

going feral thinking about lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers again. i fell in love with you and you betrayed me. i would cross a galaxy for a chance to hurt you. you know me better than anyone and i hate you for it. the enemy part is a lie because i never figured out how to do anything but love you. we needed time to come back around but we can still do it. i get to say i love you again and it feels like i can breathe. FERAL

#this trope is very rare #can you tell im in my writing era again #there's just so much POTENTIAL #who better to kill u than a lover #oh shush #writing #tropes #prompts #any examples of this are very welcome

3 or 13 for anyone you want!! (all the angst please give us all the angst)

hi hi hi!!! absolutely -- i am alwayssss happy to do angst. here's a lily/alice take on #3 for ya!

3. And this is the end, / the car running out of road (Aristotle, Billy Collins)

(poetry flash fic game)

Lily knows the end is coming. She can see it in the way Alice leaves in the mornings, her cup of coffee only half-drunk. No goodbye kiss that turns into just one more time before work. No long dinners, no late nights, no laughing.

“Don’t you want breakfast?” Lily asks. She’s on the couch in her pajamas, on her second cup of coffee because she’s a fast drinker. 

“No,” says Alice as she fixes the buttons on her shirt. “I have to get going.”

Lily nods. “Kiss?” she asks, when Alice has her hand on the doorknob. 

Alice pauses, squints, and walks back over to the couch. She drops a quick kiss on Lily’s forehead, and then she’s off.

Lily feels like an in-between, a placeholder. She’s pined over Alice for years, idolized her at first and then loved her truly after school. Alice likes Lily, certainly, but every time Lily brings up their future, Alice changes the subject. Lily knows they both want kids, they both want careers, they both want a house with a front yard and a little Crup, but Lily wants all of this with Alice. She suspects Alice wants it with someone else.

They never show up to parties together, but they leave together. Mostly. Sometimes Alice talks to Frank Longbottom all night and doesn’t drink or laugh as much and goes home alone, barely looking in Lily’s direction. Lily doesn’t mind, except for how she does, and her heart breaks over and over each time Alice walks out the door. Lily’s heart has split so many times now she’s surprised the blood can still run through it. She tries to take joy in sleeping diagonally across the bed, in not waking up to someone else’s alarm, in an extra cold pillow, but her stomach churns and she’s sick in the toilet with no one to hold her hair.

So the end is coming. Lily sits on her couch and doesn’t drink her coffee, wondering if she should bother buying one more bag of the kind Alice likes.

#lily/alice #my secret favorite ship #that you will all learn more about #in a fic i can't talk mention yet #there's just so much POTENTIAL #the similarities in their stories! #the angst of it all! #being pregnant at the same time! #anyway #poetry flash fic game #em goes micro #sort of #em mail

Listen, I am a boring predictable human, you may preach a blade under the chin, and you'd be correct.

However, I think that we, as a society, too often overlook the "shit they're coming, let's hide in this narrow place that squishes our bodies together while I hold my hand on your mouth"

#I need this trope to be used more often #I am weak for all tropes #But this one????? #Oof #Yes I enjoyed shadow of the Templar in case you were wondering #There's just so much potential #AND THE THING IS IT'S PEAK BOTH WITH FRIENDS OR ENEMIES #Trope

Damian, walking into the Batcave: I require assistance.

Dick: Sure, Dami! What can I help you with?

Damian: Not from you.

Bruce, thinking: Damian... Damian needs... father's help? MY help?

Bruce, being way too fucking smug: Ah, well, Dick, don't be sad. Sometimes a boy just needs his father. How can I help you, son?

Damian: Not from you, either. I require assistance from Stephanie.

Stephanie: HA! SUCK IT, BRUCE!

Dp x dc AU - If the Internation Space Station orbits the Earth 16 times a day, then so does the Watchtower.

Danny’s on track to move out of his parent’s house and move to Gotham for college (He swears that Sam bribed the board to let him in- and she wasn’t even going to that university!) but the dorms don’t open for another three days and he cannot wait to escape. Seeing his parents try to perfect yet another weapon to use against him while he changed out the ecto filters on the portal was too much. He’s completely over the idea of staying when he already has everything packed and ready to go.

The solution? Take all his boxes into his haunt in the Ghost Zone, leave them there and then spend some time in camping in space. He’s already explored the Infinite Realms enough to be bored of it for a minute (not to mention he wants to avoid getting more ‘favors’ to do from Clockwork) and hell, he just wants to see some stars.

He grabs his tent, a sleeping bag and all the food and things he could need and brings it into the atmosphere with him. Keeping it all tethered to him, Danny stays in a fixed position above Gotham (Cause that’s where he’s going next, duh) and treats himself to some quality Me-time.

Only problem is that several times a day he has to make himself intangible while he lets satellites and things pass through. Easy enough and honestly pretty interesting to observe as a wannabe engineering student.

He doesn’t know when exactly it happened the first time- but it turns out the Heroes of Earth all congregated in a satelite office building? It was bigger than the ISS! What the heck!?

Going intangible but not invisible, the JL spot Danny and are incredibly confused how an ‘Alien’ teen just happens to appear in their meeting rooms disappearing at the rate (slowly but surely) of the Watchtower moving through space. Was that camping gear? How was he roasting a marshmallow? Did propane camping stoves even work in space??

16 times a day they get the opportunity to ask Danny a few questions. He mostly ignores them or gives them joke answers. Eventually Martian Manhunter phases through the Watchtower to join him.

They talk about how hard transition periods in life can be and having strained relationships with family. J’ohn returns to the watchtower on its next cycle and reports that the kid is just fine, being an adult is just a hard thing to do.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #Danny Phantom #justice league #watchtower #dc #dc crossover #dc universe #martian manhunter #so much potential for him to haunt them but tbh he just wants to keep looking at the stars #dont ask me how his camping stove works in the vaccum of space google was unhelpful and i failed physics 2 #well i mean i passed it eventually but i failed it the first time #thats the energy im bringing and the energy i feel like vibes with danny #the iss moves around earth 16 times a day tho and i think thats neat #martian manhunter is like dude earth relationships are legit so hard and im not just saying that as a refugee #id also like to think that miss martian eventually joins them and danny gets invited to join the YJ

i hear your "alice is tall" theories after that comment about her hiding her snacks, but may i present to you "alice is actually short but she has no shame in balancing on two chairs stacked on top of each other, if it means that no one else will find her stuff".

#i like the idea of tall alice don't get me wrong #i just think this take is funnier and has so much meme potential #the magnus protocol #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #tmagp alice #alice dyer #tmagp alice dyer #magnus protocol #tmagp theory #tmagp theories #tmagp shitpost #alice dyer tmagp

we don't talk about this parallel enough

#also tom didn't start committing Crimes TM till his fifth year. Hermione lit a teacher on fire in first year #brewed an illegal potion in second year #meddled with time in third year and kidnapped and imprisoned a woman in 4th year. she's so much more feral than she gets credit for #Hermione Granger #Tom Riddle #humor #Harry Potter #im not usually a #tomione #shipper bc it just doesn't catch my fancy but this parallel makes me consider the potential #my post

i’ll find you again in every universe. let us be a little more honest, let us have a little more time.

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #despite it all though badlands rumble is like. the only universe where we get wolfwood thinking vash died first... and i think that means a #lot to their relationship and how it may bloom if there was more to badlands rumble considering vash literally saw wolfwood carrying a piece #of vash after his supposed death. u know! despite the short time they were together vash still meant so much to wolfwood that he couldn't #just move on or forget him in anyway. needed to keep a piece of him for himself and the rest of his days. but ofc vash lives and wolfwood #was like ill beat ur fucking ass into tomorrow. there's just so much honesty in vash being able to see that gesture bc he wouldnt know #otherwise just how much he might mean to him. ANYWAY. trimax with with the eternal pining featuring the two chapters where imo #where the both of them really fell for each other... i wrote my thoughts about this on another comic i did before #but vash solidifying his feelings during the hospital arc -- ww solidifies his when he realizes his allegiances are permanently with vash #98 my lovelies but also to me they are so one-sided bc ww pined like no tomorrow and vash only realizes after ep 23?24? his heart did tickle #whenever ww complimented his smile though #and tristamp vw my beloveds. it really just feels like they get the chance to be closer and closer and more honest with each other #with every version that comes about. in trimax they knew how little time they had but struggled so desperately to get closer. in 98 ww felt #more willing to forsake for vash. in badlands rumble theyre Angry but as mentioned earlier ^ more blatant truth... due to circumstances #mainly but has the chance to lead to discussions and tristamp literally. first day of knowing each other ww saves vash - 2 days later vash #saves ww like. Man. AND NOW THEY MAY POTENTIALLY GET EVEN CLOSER!!!! with s2.... #ruporas art

Okay. I'm about to say something that's probably going to get me run out of the fandom, but.

I don't actually think Tommy leaving their date early had anything to do with him not wanting to pressure Buck (regardless of what he claimed later). Instead, I think it had everything to do with Tommy being annoyed and no longer into it that evening, and I think that is both okay AND significantly more interesting than taking him at his word later and framing it as some selfless act by a sanitized elder gay shepherd just trying to do right by Buck.

#listen #i LIKE tommy #a lot actually #more than i thought i would #but i also feel like the fandom has created an overly sanitized projection of him as a perfect character who can do no wrong #in a way that makes him so much less interesting than he has the potential to be #this is NOT meant as a criticism of the character #more just an alternative reading i find more interesting #tommy kinard #911 discourse #just in case #unpopular opinion

MDZS x ISAT part 1: In Stars and Necromancy.

(Part 2)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #MDZS AU #In stars and time #ISAT #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Double comic feature for today because they are both small. #I had a hard time coming up with a good crossover for these two series for a while but once the idea hit - Boy did it hit! #I've got a longer comic coming. The angst potential is very...very good. #Ghost YLLZ helping out mxy was painful enough but I can make it so much worse for everyone. #I can't say much without crossing into spoiler territory but I will be back. #Other notes here: LWJ is rock type. WWX/MXY are paper type. Thought it fit well B*) #YLLZ in the starry bath is 100% a reference to Eris in the sinbad movie. Her hair animation still haunts my dreams. #I'll have some 'other side of the crossover' doodles after posting a few more main comic pages. Thanks for the patience this week! #I really needed to just...draw some very self-indulgent art. I'm feeling much better now though!
