was thinking about fix-it fics where time travel shenanigans mean naruto gets to meet minato but how those never hit juuuust right with me because it's always pre-naruto minato who is in his early 20s and hasn't sufficiently cultivated a dadsona...... but hear me out. alt timeline minato crashes into canon timeline. au!minato lost both kushina AND baby naruto in the kyuubi attack. canon!naruto is like 7-8.
naruto: (is his son, and basically a tiny kushina, and is being neglected and mistreated)
minato: hi yeah i'm going to act SO insane about this <3

Ok so I might by chance be dumb? But um.. Volo as Barry's ancestor?? Idk if I haven't seen other people mention this because it's a stupid idea, or i just have missed it somehow. But like you can't tell me these two hairstyles aren't even a little similar.
And then there's the whole thing of Volo kinda acting like a rival how he just sorta pops up to talk with/fight u from time to time.
I mostly find this idea amusing cuz imagine if Barry ever let's his hair grow out it would continue to do the stupid reverse gravity thing Volo's does.

Hi, I was the anon that had brought up the high seas adventure!! I'm glad you took interest in it, and hearing your ramblings to add onto it just made me imagine so many fun things! (Poor Eddie, haha. With your description, I just imagine a dog trying to stand up in a moving car.) Ohh, now I imagine a case where the ship wrecks and their stranded for a few days until another rescue ship comes! Perhaps on an island?? I hope some of them know how to hunt!
the very first thing that came to mind was Eddie sobbing while pointing one of Howdy's guns at a crab. Sally just comes up & stabs it through the shell before taking it back to the fire for eating. Eddie collapses to his knees, wracked with guilt-

i think the worst part for me about the entire death engine debacle is that i like to think they used to be friends. solaris and anna.
i like to think they're both pretty rough around the edges until you really get to know them... that they both keep to themselves and do their work- and take great pride in the work that they do... i don't think their fields intersected very often for the two of them to be considered close. but i think they appreciated each other's company.
neither of them put zoraxis- or zor- above themself. even though solaris was beneath anna in regards to official ranking, that never mattered to either of them. they held themselves with enough self respect not to let others step all over them... and if they were going to be the only two employees not to relent to zor's power hungry behavior, then at least they could confide in each other.
i think solaris knew that anna wanted to leave... but i don't know if she would suspect that anna would ever actually try. she's an indispensable asset. she has a seat at zor's head table... they would notice in an instant. they would come after her if she left. they would kill her just to make a statement.
she figured anna knew that.
i can't help but wonder when solaris actually figured it out... when she connected the dots between anna's disappearance and the agency getting critical information on a project kept completely secret. did zor tell her while she was still in orbit? or- god forbid- did she need to learn post the death engine? in the hospital?
since first class and seat of power seem to be set relatively close to each other- and since solaris is canonically in space during seat of power- who's to say she even knew that anna was ‘dead’ until she woke up post atmospheric reentry.
what a fucked up thing to wrap your head around... that your friend is the reason you almost died. that she threw you under the bus to save herself...
and that it didn't even fucking work.
she could have killed the both of them, for nothing... and even though solaris is alive- thank god- she has to live with the fallout.

I’ve been asking the boy to come meet the pony fairly regularly since the start of the year and it’s been nothing but excuses (some legit others … less so)
And while yes this planned the cliche 30 business days but the contrast is staggering. Like my one friend suggested it to me and the other responded so enthusiastically and yes she rode horses and they both have dogs and thus are more animal people and both live closer to the barn but like still.
Also I am now excited for my friends to meet my pony!
