AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.
When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.
He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.
Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.
(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#donnie keeps the comms going on in the background as he works#when he gets to the end he’s like what the hell…where’s the rest#donnie: leo where’s part nine#leo barely cognizant after not needing sleep for months: whuh-#donnie: you can’t leave it at a cliffhanger. leo. leo where’s the next part.#listen leo has a great memory for his special interests this is CANON plus he’s a great talker so he would totally be able to do this frfr#whenever he needs to be quiet he’s SILENT but otherwise he’s regaling the exploits of his idols to the captive audience that is The Photo#sometimes Krang sneaks up on him and just listens to him talk like ????#it starts both as leo trying to comfort himself with his favorite things PLUS comfort himself with thoughts of his father#as splinter makes his own crossover fanfiction when sick lol plus he’s Literally Lou Jitsu#and yes krang ALSO gets a bit invested#leo notices the reduction of Ouch but hey more time for rambling fanfic for him 👍#idk leo’s a damn good actor/liar/planner/schemer and I genuinely think that can pivot into storytelling so well#the literal second mikey’s hands heal donnie zooms to his side with hand stabilizers and a request to draw ‘scene 82 from recording 3’#mikey’s like what#so obvs now HE needs to listen as he works#he too gets invested#he comes across raph who mentions having trouble sleeping#mikey: have I got the podcast fanfic for you!#it only somewhat helps raph sleep#somewhat bc sometimes he forces himself to stay awake to hear the rest#yes these recordings go to the whole fam and leo is none the wiser#they don’t even mean to hide it it just never comes up lol#it’s only when donnie FINALLY makes it to the end of the recordings that he confronts leo to continue the story#leo: oH YOU HEARD ALL THAT HUH-

Staging concept: Ophelia carries around a book that she uses to press different flowers and plants. At one point we see her actually pressing one of the flowers Hamlet's given her before, and we get the impression that she wouldn't part with this book for the world. During the "Get thee to a nunnery" scene, Hamlet rips the book out of her hands, and she goes diving after it to make sure he didn't damage it. And during her final "mad scene", she starts tearing out the relevant pages (rosemary, pansies, fennel, columbines, etc.) to give to everyone present. Laertes is the only one to get the significance of his sister giving away parts of her prized possession, and it adds an extra layer to his grief.
#Some extra foreshadowing and a way to organically work in the book she's given in Act 3 Scene 1...#Listen I have a lot of feelings about how to stage Ophelia's final scene--for me it needs to be about *her*grief first and foremost.#It's so grossly easy to play it voyeuristically but this is a young woman who's been let down by everyone she thought she could trust#and now she's come to her lowest point where nothing feels like it matters anymore.#And that needs to hit the other characters present like a truck--they could have done something to actually *help* her#instead of using her for their own agendas but they didn't.#And for Laertes especially... that's his baby sister and he wasn't there for her and now he's watching her destroy something she loves.#Maybe he tries to give her the page back but she pushes it at him and there's a moment of agonizing eye contact between them#where he knows she still loves him but she's never felt so betrayed by everyone and there's nothing he can do to make it right.#hamlet#ophelia#shakespeare#the schemer speaks

I think the best sex that Liechty and Jobst ever had was the one when Liechtenstein arrived with the group of fifty men and Wenceslas IV. (straight outta prison) to meet up with Jobst.
The pretended innocence of "Oh, aren't you happy to meet up with your cousin, the rightful king, after all this time, Margrave?"
Jobst's anger, "Why have you done this to me?"
And Wenceslas IV. who's in general confused but glad to be back in Bohemia, although he doesn't trust anything Jobst says. Come to think of it, he doesn't really trust Liechtenstein either... since, well, he reminds him of Jobst. It's also funny how the young Austrian nobleman keeps flirting with him. Curious.
No wonder Jobst would be riled up.
#John II of Cuntenstein just fluttering his eyelashes like “Did you really think I was helping you commit a treason Margrave???”#(then Jobst fucks him into oblivion)#(which is exactly what John wants)#Liechtenstein keeps winning (in all scenarios)#which is also why Jobst is genuinely pleased when Liechty doesn't win for once when he's captured :3#otp: old schemer and his court spy

Sometimes i just hear the wildest takes "elden ring betrays the other sould because it champions nihilism" did you even play the game
#like im sorry but. where. where did this idea that other slbrn games are hopepunk in any way#like in ds and bb the worlds are fucked. you cannot do anything to help them. at most in ds/3 you can pull the plug#tlb are the only place where the situation isnt fucked beyond any repair and you can concretely help the people#buuuut... one of those endings includes the female schemer getting her way and not being killed/humiliated#so yeah. er is cynical and nihilistic. fucking christ on a cross

whenever i get an intense feeling of interest towards someone there is nothing i wont do for even a sliver of information.. i must know it all..
#im just a passionate schemer#(he ought to be arrested)#this level of interest i speak of has only really occured twice or thrice#my brain would wake me up 3 times a night just to check all their socials. likes. number of following etc#i would queue up in multiplayer games at the same time just hoping that i would be put in the same lobby by accident#games i didnt even like#this was 2019 shion btw. it is only bc it is a thing of the past that i can confess to my crimes#shion of the now is much more mellow and airheaded#i suppose mafumafu could be classified as one of these people of interest to me

Skepticism
Summary: Jamil (probably) doesn't have any ulterior motives, but Jack is not so quick to trust that. Word count: 900+ A/N: I literally started writing this as soon as I got out of dance class today so do not expect it to be good 😭 I just thought it would be so funny if Jack judged Yu's taste in guys. He's always looking out for his friends and keeping an eye out for those who might be unsavory so, you know;; lol. Just wanted to write a little bit of silliness to make up for... everything I've posted in the past few days lol. Enjoy!
~
“There’s this friend of yours,” Jamil murmurs, eyes darting aside as he hands a plastic container to Yu. It seems this time he’s foregone the excuse that he happened to make extras the night before. “Jack, was it?”
(The container is nice and warm, and there’s faint sparkles that indicate it’s been enchanted to stay that way. How sweet.)
Yu tilts his head. “What about Jack?”
“He… I don’t mean to sound paranoid”—“Cute attempt, even if you kind of do”— “but he always seems to become excessively alert when I’m around you. Hostile, even.”
Even someone as unobservant as Yu can immediately recall what Jamil’s talking about—Jack isn’t very good at hiding his body language, so it’s easy to notice when he does subconscious things like raising his tail or stiffening his ears upwards. Or when his fur stands on end, making him look somehow sharper and dangerous. And—
“Oh yeah, didn’t he growl at you once when you clapped me on the shoulder?”
“What did he think I was going to do, punch you?” Jamil asks exasperatedly. “I can keep my hands relatively to myself.”
“But not your eyes,” Yu mutters. “If he knew about winter break, he’d probably kill you.”
Jamil grimaces.
“…that was a joke,” quickly adds Yu.
“If he keeps baring his canines at me, it won’t seem like one.” Jamil rubs his temples. “I’d ask what I’m doing wrong, but I know for a fact everything I do for you is harmless.”
Yu smiles, a little apologetically. “Well, sometimes he doesn’t notice his own behavior, but it’s because he cares so much.”
“That doesn’t make me feel more reassured.”
“Maybe you should spend more time around us. He’ll warm up to you.” At Jamil’s skeptical little eye roll, Yu continues with a growing smirk. “I mean, even if it looks like he doesn’t, it’s not like he’s gonna do anything to you if you don’t do anything crazy. He’s a biiig softie, it’s the only reason he hasn’t beaten Ace up yet.”
Jamil scoffs. “Soft or not, I’d rather be on decent terms with him so it’s easier for me to…” He trails off all of a sudden, leaving Yu to abruptly notice the heavy footsteps behind him.
“So it’s easier for you to do what?” asks Jack in his usual low, rumbling voice—with a distinct tone of warning. Although he towers over the both of them, Yu doesn’t feel threatened with how Jack stands right behind him; it feels like having a big guardian puppy around.
While Yu waves to his friend, Jamil says, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world, “For me to be friends with Yu. I’m not sure what I’ve done to offend you, but I can tell you for certain that I don’t have any intentions to hurt him.”
Maybe the way it sounds so smooth and practiced is more suspicious to Jack. “Uh-huh. You’d better be able to prove it with more than just words. Yu, can I have that container?”
“Yeah, just don’t toss it or anything. Jamil works diligently to prepare meals, you know.” When Jack nods reluctantly, Yu hands it over without complaint.
As the resident poison-tester, Jamil settles for a resigned look on his face as Jack sniffs for signs of unsavory magic or ingredients.
The beastman seems satisfied after a solid half a minute of inspection, at least until— “Wait, haven’t you been eating stuff marked with the same magic for the past few weeks? Was it all from this guy?”
It’s comical how Jamil sputters. “So I’ve been reduced to ‘this guy’? And how come you only start sniffing it out once you know I gave it to Yu?”
“‘Cause I have no clue what your real intentions are,” Jack argues, ears pointing up with tension. “You used to fade into the background but all of a sudden you start getting buddy-buddy with Yu, of course I’m gonna think there’s something up with that—”
“Jack, it’s fine,” Yu interrupts. “Jamil can be a douche”—“Excuse you?”—“but he won’t try anything. You, well, you smelled it for yourself, he didn’t put anything in the food and I haven’t been acting weird since I started eating it.”
“Except for trusting him…”
Jamil gives them both a Look™. “Have I not been proving myself trustworthy?”
The way Jack narrows his eyes slightly at Jamil and vice versa feels like something straight out of a manga. Yu can practically see the black background effects of hostility. “You have, and that’s why I’m giving you a chance…” He trails off, seeing Jack’s fur stand on end. “Guys, this is getting ridiculous. You ever think there’s a reason why Crewel calls you ‘unruly pups’?”
“I’m not being unruly in the least,” Jamil says coolly, not disengaging from whatever the hell is going on.
“You’re not helping your case,” Jack grumbles, crossing his arms and glaring even more fiercely.
Yu closes his eyes. “You guys, seriously—”
The ten-minute warning bell rings, and Yu has never been more grateful for a glorified “hurry the fuck up and get to first period” message.
Jack backs down right away, mumbling something about not wanting to be late for Trein’s class. As soon as he’s out of earshot, all 190+ centimeters of him disappearing down the hallway, Jamil turns to Yu.
“So��� what was that about him being a ‘softie’?”
Yu rolls his eyes. “You skeptic. I mean, me too, but—c’mon. I’m sure he’ll warm up to you someday.”
“...Uh-huh.” Jamil sounds unconvinced. “We’ll see how soon that day comes, then.”
#kai's writing#i dont wanna do twst tags bc im shy so#jamil viper#jack howl#twst oc#yuusona#jamiyu <3#kai self ships#god this is . a little goofy#need to write me a situation where jack is unsettled around floyd too HSKFJSKHFSD#hey. yu. when will you stop getting entangled with the schemer dorms ....

And as if 3 durges weren't enough, I just created a Tav. Who is a lil guy with one of the most fucked up origins ever. Also Myrkul is kind of his stepdad???
And he is also dead. My new lil guy, not Myrkul (tho Myrkul too).
Anyway, his name is Mort (Mortimer) and he was stillborn of a very powerful wizard lady who JUST lost her husband to a freak magic incident before.
She kind of pulled Ketheric+Mayrina and refused to accept what her baby is dead.
She turned into a lil over the top Myrkul worshipper who called herself "A bride of Myrkul" and brought her baby back by unnatural means.
Which makes Mort both immortal and...uh. Dead. He is like Isobel but more fucked up. And have been this way for all of his (un)life.
#bg3#bg3 spoilers#tav: mort#avery.txt#baldurs gate 3#gale: i have to consume magic or this powerful magical artifact will blow up#mort: cool. i need to practice and obsorb necromancy or I'll start to rot :) Literally. i am 100% made of dead magic#gale: ....wtf how are you alive#mort: oh! I'm not. i was born dead. a real fun story actually#in this au mort was the og chosen of myrkul but he was killed prior the events of the game and had to...pull himself back together.#it took time#also in this au durge does not exist (was killed by orin long time ago) and so mort and gortash were og schemers of the absolute plan#mort also knew gortash since karlach was still around and knew her too. they were good friend#and then one day he came over and gortash was like: i sold karlach#mort: dude you did THAT???#enver: sold her. to zariel ;)#mort: you sick fuck#they have childhood friends vibes even tho mort is over 100 years old bc duh. necromancy#ne doesn't age he kind of.#pushes his body to grow with dark magic#wicked thing
