september prompts, week 3

i’m doing a once-a-day exercise with these prompts for the month of september. this week i gave myself a little challenge: all AUs, and i hope you have as much fun reading them as i did writing them. as AUs always do, the lore/worldbuilding on these expanded rapidly so if you have any questions about these AUs, i'd love to explore them more. the blurbs can be found under the read more. (week 1 blurbs) (week 2 blurbs)

day 15 - nightlight (261) / theater AU

“Nice nightlight,” Joe said, staring at the Little Mermaid plug-in on the wall outside her bathroom.

“It’s not a nightlight,” came Georgie’s muffled reply. She threw open the door and pushed past him, turning her back so he could smell the coconut in her hair as she breezed by. “It’s so I don’t bust my ass trying to pee in the dark.”

He snorted and pushed off the wall he was leaning on. “That’s a nightlight, G.”

He’d avoided staring at her ass as they walked but couldn’t avoid staring at her now as she slipped on her heels, bracing a neatly manicured hand against the door. 

Her back was exposed in her dress, allowing him to trace the bend of her spine with his eyes. The lustrous gold fabric melted against her skin and reminded him of chocolate and champagne, luxury, and his mouth watered. He wanted to nip gently, to taste, to do something he shouldn’t. His chest tightened and the room felt unbearably warm as she turned around.

“—last time but you have to play nice with my mother for at least four hours before we can get drinks,” she said. She stood up with a sigh and brushed her hands down her front. The high slit that ran up to the top of her thigh exposed a diamond garter sitting snug against her skin, and he had to look away before his mind wandered past the point of no return.

Georgie stared at him with a raised, unimpressed eyebrow, and he knew he was so, so fucked.

day 16 - rocking chair (358) / college AU

“Stop it, Alex,” Maggie warned her brother.

“What?” he asked innocently, leaning back yet again and sending a piercing squeak across the porch. 

“I swear to God,” Anita said, “I will knock you over.”

Alex put his feet back on the ground at that, clasping his hands over his stomach and closing his eyes. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s that fucking rocking chair,” Charlie called from inside the house. “I can hear it from here. Fucking stop, dude.”

Alex leaned forward so he could look at his brother inside, creaking the wicker wood. “Or what?”

“I’m gonna—” Anita sat up from her spot in the hammock at the end of the porch and grabbed the small pillow from behind her head, hurling it at Alex. He dodged a second too late and it caught him on the side of the face.

“Hey!” he exclaimed.

“Do it again,” she threatened through clenched teeth. “Do it again, I dare you.”

Alex threw his hands up. “I don’t have anywhere to sit.”

That was true. Maggie was sprawled out on the rug, her textbooks and pens everywhere, and she’d put her backpack on the cushioned chair next to the door and refused to move it for her brother. Ilse was draining some freshly watered plants on the bench and Anita was in the hammock, so that left Alex to the squeaky rocking chair. Anita considered what she needed to do if she wanted to get any more of her reading done before the sun set.

“If you come over here, you can’t bother me.”

“Deal.”

She scooted over and let Alex slide into the hammock next to her. They fit together naturally—Alex put his head over her heart and she wrapped an arm around his back so she could still hold her book. It was comfortable; he was warm against the slowly cooling evening air, and he smelled like the Dove shampoo from his shower. They were quiet as the sound of the crickets rose and the sky turned orange to purple.

“What class is this for?”

“Intro to Criminology.” 

“Ew… ow!”

“I said don’t bother me.”

day 17 - hitchhiking (357)

From the moment she sees him, thumb out on the side of the road, sun beating down on his red flannel and jeans, olive drab duffle tucked over his shoulder, Frankie has a funny feeling. 

“Where you headed?”

“White Lake, New York,” he says.

“Woodstock?”

He nods, and his hair is a darker shade of brown now that she’s closer to him. He has a nice nose. “Yeah, Woodstock.”

He says he doesn’t have money for gas, but Marcus waves him out of the heat and into the packed back seat. Introductions go around: Frankie, Marcus, and Tab—”Floyd Talbert,” he says. “Friends call me Tab.”

He just got back from Vietnam—funny, because Marcus just got back, too—and he hitchhiked from Indiana. It’s fate finding him here, coming from the same place as Marcus and going to the same place as both of them.

The boys talk Army as they start the back half of their drive and Frankie listens, not to the what, but the how. She listens to the slight brass and gravel in Tab’s voice, the easy way he goes back and forth with Marcus. He stops to listen thoughtfully; she can see him nodding in the rearview mirror, and he’s quietly funny. The first time she watches him crack a gentle smile, her heart flutters.

She feels like she can see the future in flashes that are half daydream, half prophecy.

She’s laying with her head on Tab’s chest, warm from the sun and from his arms, letting the distant boom of drums pull her into sleep. Marcus passes her a canteen of water, she drinks, then passes it to Tab. He’s lifting her onto his shoulders and the press of the crowd around them makes her feel more alive than she’s ever been before. Tab and Marcus are curled up together in their tent at night, and she watches them in muted moonlight for a moment before laying down next to her husband.

She hears Marcus laugh, truly guffaw from the driver’s seat with a joy that’s been fleeting since he came home, and she’s glad she got him to pull over.

day 18 - lemon tree (281) / vietnam AU

Winter used to smell like lemons. 

Her momma had a Eureka lemon tree in the backyard, small, dark-leaved, and Mattie’s favorite feature of their house. They’d leave the windows open most days and the smell would waft into the house and the curtains. Everything smelled bright and clean and slightly sweet, a smell that opened your eyes and relaxed your heart.

Winter and therefore Christmas smelled like lemons. While most houses had gingerbread and woodsmoke in the December air, her home was lemon tarts and sugar from her momma’s lemonade and fresh, mild wind. Her grandparents smelled like lemons and so did the school Christmas pageant, her Christmas Eve solo at church, and her brothers unwrapping puzzle books by the tree.

She passed by the worn and creased drawing of a pine tree pinned to the wall of the nurses barracks every morning and laughed bitterly.

Winter in Chu Lai smelled like the South China Sea, sweat, and spent explosives. It smelled like her hair after not having the time to wash it for a week and the mildew growing in the back of the surgical recovery wing. Laughter and jokes smelled like vomit and the protruding intestines of a young rifleman who got caught on the wrong end of mortar fire. Old Bing Crosby standards on the radio and New Years’ Eve smelled metallic and antiseptic, smelled inescapable.

In Vietnam, Mattie learned that death had a smell and she didn’t have the words to describe it. It wasn’t as easy as her momma’s tree back home.

Sometimes, when she couldn’t get the tang of iron out of her nose, she’d close her eyes and wish for lemons. 

day 19 - vintage dress (328) / justified AU

“Ask her to dance.”

Dick stared at Nix, hoping his friend was joking but knowing he wasn’t, and blinked before facing forward again. “No.”

“Look at her,” Nix said, and Dick already was. That was the problem, he’d been looking at her all night.

She was dancing with Harry, their height difference a bit comical with Coretta in heels, but they seemed to be having a good time. She laughed a lot, occasionally looking over at him with a contented smile. It made his heart pound in his chest.

“She’s waiting for you to ask her.”

Dick scoffed in his throat but didn’t take his eyes off her.

She was a vision in green. She said the dress she was wearing had been her mother’s, but it looked like it was only ever made for her. The dark emerald fabric had a gold tint in the light of the ball room, draping at her collar and hugging at all of her curves. Thin straps left her shoulders bare and a high slit revealed her long legs. 

The music changed to some Top 40 hit and chatter increased as people cleared the floor. Coretta sat down at the other table reserved for their field office and kicked off her shoes, turning over her shoulder to point something out to Ron.

It should be easy. He should be able to say yes, to handle it professionally, to share a dance at the Governor’s Ball like they had to share a bed during the joint McClellandtown case and make nothing of it, just a dance between partners. But the idea of being so close to her, of holding her hand and her waist… he wouldn’t be able to write that off.

“No,” he said, and Nix huffed.

“Suit yourself.” He downed the rest of his drink and stood up. “Coretta, how ‘bout a dance?”

Dick’s stomach turned as she smiled warmly at Lew’s approach. “Sure, just don’t step on my toes.”

day 20 - bike ride (320) / the west wing AU

They’d taken to calling it the ‘Huff and Puff.’ It was the hottest event of the political and fiscal year, approximately 7.6 miles—from the White House, around the Lincoln Memorial, down to the Hill, past the Supreme Court, around to the Museum of African American History, and back to 1600 Pennsylvania—surrounded by some of the worst people they’ve ever met and their co-workers. It was an hour-and-change-minutes of their lives they’d never get back, and yet they were all there, donning helmets and alma mater sweaters, corralled in front of the White House at 6:27 AM.

“—I understand that,” Georgina Webster was saying. “But I don’t understand why we have to be here. We have things to do.”

“Georgina,” said Lewis Nixon, “are you implying that your work is more important than the U.S. Attorney General’s?”

“No, that’s not… I’m just… Yale’s colors are ugly,” she deflected with a glance at Nix’s sweater, and shoved her helmet on her head with a huff.

“Who are we waiting on?” David Webster asked the group around him.

“The President,” Harry Welsh answered.

Joe Liebgott sniffed. “Probably pickin’ out which West Point sweater still fits.”

“That’s right, Joe,” a voice responded, and everyone snapped upright from their tired slouches. 

Several calls of “Mr. President” and “good morning, sir” rose into the air as Sink passed by with his bike. He was indeed in an USMA sweater and matching decaled helmet, and he was smiling at them like it was Christmas morning, undoubtedly content to revel in their suffering for the next hour and fifteen minutes. 

“What the hell’re we standin’ around for? Saddle up,” he said, and his staff obliged with no audible grumbling. 

They headed out at 6:30 AM—or 0630, as the President reminded everyone—and their breaths puffed toward the gray and navy sky as the 3rd Annual Election Day Bike Ride began.

day 21 - art museum (297) / politics AU

Flo regretted going to the aides and staffers mixer until the man next to her leaned over and pointed to the painting in front of them. 

“What the hell is this? What am I supposed to see?”

She looked at him, taking in the cropped hair, square jaw, cuffed sleeves, and loosened tie, and smiled. “It’s Rothko,” she shrugged. “He wanted the viewer to feel basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom.”

“All I’m feelin’ is a headache.”

She laughed and looked back at the painting. Orange and Tan was a lot to take in.

The guy raised an eyebrow. “You know about art?”

“Somewhat,” she replied. “I minored in art history.”

He gave an impressed nod and stuck out a hand. “Bill Guarnere, Office of Veterans Affairs.”

She switched her drink to her right hand and shook his. “Florence Kanaka’ole, ACHP.” His grip was strong. 

There were things they’d been told to say in order to introduce themselves and network, things that made “strong inter-department connections”, but they chose their own conversation. His accent was from Philly, hers was from Honolulu. She just finished a Masters in Hawaiian Studies, he just got out of the Army. They were both new to D.C. and a bit lost, and they traded numbers within fifteen minutes with the express purpose of finding a non-overpriced and good cup of coffee.

“Wanna get outta here and get somethin’ to eat?” Bill asked as they wandered into the tower gallery again, passing the same Rothkos for the fifth time.

“Yes, please,” Flo said emphatically. Her feet hurt, she didn’t want to talk to anyone else, and the h'oeuvres d'oeuvres sucked. 

Saying a quick good-bye to their bosses, they grabbed their coats and walked gratefully into a chilly night on the National Mall.

The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist 2000

"Frontier Psychiatrist" is a song by Australian electronic music group the Avalanches, that was released on 21 August 2000 as the second single from the group's debut album Since I Left You. It is built around several elements sampled from other music; Avalanches members Robbie Chater and Darren Seltman sampled music from several vinyl records in the production and creation of Since I Left You. The prominent orchestral sample heard throughout the track is sourced from a recording by the Enoch Light Singers of the 1968 composition "My Way of Life". The track also contains several vocal samples of Canadian comedy duo Wayne and Shuster, the most prominent of these samples taken from the duo's comedy routine "Frontier Psychiatrist", as well as the John Waters movie Polyester.

Only the aforementioned samples are credited in the liner notes of Since I Left You; various other uncredited samples are used in the track, with sources ranging from Harvey Mandel's 1968 cover of the spiritual "Wade in the Water", and comedy routines by Flip Wilson, sketches from Sesame Street, and Maurice Jarre's main theme from Lawrence of Arabia. The closing mariachi band plays "El Negro Zumbón", first performed by Flo Sandon's, who doubles Silvana Mangano in the 1951 movie Anna.

Upon release, it peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and number 49 in the group's native Australia, becoming their first single to enjoy commercial success. "Frontier Psychiatrist" was well received by music critics, who praised the Avalanches' use of samples.

The "Frontier Psychiatrist" music video, directed by Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire, was the runner-up in the "Best Music Video" category at the 2002 Rushes Soho Shorts Film Festival. Pitchfork Media placed the video at number 19 on their list of the "Top 50 Music Videos of the 2000s". An alternative video was made, featuring actors acting out the 'dialogue' of the track in various scenes, including a psychiatrist's office and "Dexter's" bedroom. In addition, Rorschach ink-blots are animated to reflect various samples in the track.

"Frontier Psychiatrist" received a total of 73,2% yes votes!

⭐️BACKSTORY :3⭐️

tw for death, slight gore/injury description, :3

lots of yapping :3

it all started on a freezing winter night on december 18th, 1970 when a very pregnant dolores alma torres and a jean-gabriel adrian marvin archambeau were driving late at night, in the middle of nowhere, to visit dolores’ friend’s baby shower on an extremely icy road when dolores when into labor. jean-gabriel re-routed to find her a hospital, but quickly got lost in the dark backroads of pennsylvania. as tension rose and dolores got more short with him, as labor isn’t fun, jean-gabriel didn’t notice the deer he was about to hit and swerved at the last second. he hit the deer anyway in the million spins he did in the ice, and crashed into a ditch diagonally, killing jean-gabriel on impact. dolores waited there for hours in labor, in the dark with a fractured rib slowly puncturing her organs and a bunch of glass cuts next to her dead husband, until a car finally passed by and a kind stranger got some help. she gave birth in the backseat of their car and died shortly after.

her last words were naming her baby girl, pearl alma torres-archambeau, and that she was sorry, god.

they were sent to their french grandparents in baltimore after being cleaned up at the closest hospital, where they were raised pretty much happily until they were six, when their grandfather died of a massive heart attack and their grandmother of a grand mal seizure a year of quiet later. they were then tossed around foster care for a bit, until permanently being sent to an orphanage. they were a very quiet child due to all the tragedy following them. they read a lot of books, which gave them an interest in medicine early on. this interest was amplified when they needed to go to the hospital when their appendix burst. they were also incredibly clever, and earned top marks in all their classes. they didn’t have many friends, however.

when they were sixteen, they emancipated themself from the orphanage and graduated high school early. they applied to norte dame of maryland to study biology and chemistry for their undergrad and got accepted, also giving them a place to stay. they worked odd jobs and side hustles to pay for any tuition left after scholarships and spent their time studying mostly, and they had earned enough credits to graduate at 19. they applied to johns hopkins for medical school, and also got in. at this point they could afford an apartment close. and things seemed to go quite well for them!

well, until there was an armed robbery (baltimore 🔥🔥) at the little corner store they worked at after class. they were shot in the shoulder and twice in their left ear, but their co-worker took the worst of it and died to a gunshot in their heart. the er patched them up, unable to save their ear, and the robber was caught and jailed, but they quit their job and buckled down on school, spiraling mentally.

they graduated med school, started their residency, and changed their name. until the dean of medicine at princeton plainsboro teaching hospital had reached out to them, offering them a position in the gynecology department as that was their decided specialty. they got their top surgery there and was quickly offered be the ob/gyn department head due to their excellent performance :3

— Backstory:

Juliet grew up in a small town, where she was always fascinated by the stories her grandmother told her about their heritage. Her interest in her roots led her to explore various artistic pursuits, including modeling and writing.

Like any artist, she wasn’t clear onto her goals in life, especially being a woman of color, she feared she wouldn’t get enough credit for her work. Especially due to the fact that she had zero experience whatsoever in the industry up to that point.

However she knew she wanted to model and dance like all the artists she loved to see on her tv screens. Such as Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and others. She enjoyed their music and the fact that theses fine women were able to dance, as well as model for the next generation to come.

Still, she went on to that path and made a move to Hollywood a couple of years later. She did small gigs here and there, modeling for companies who would take in any kind of role to be the face of their products and services. She danced around on stage at cafes and pay the bills at the restaurant she worked at, where dancers would perform for the guests.

She even performed and made friends with a couple of girls, being invited to events and introducing herself to the crowd.

In the late 2000s a Hollywood film project wanted to explore the concept of space exploration and the roles of people in NASA so they sent actors and actresses to be introduced to the field, Juliet Florence was picked to go along being someone who wanted to development her craft from model to actress at the time, she wanted a hands on approach to the world she would be playing on in the film industry.

So she allowed the freedom to explore the space program with a visitors perspective along with the others that day. However certain curiosity got the best of her, as she found herself looking through the window of an experimental act taking shape before her eyes. During the critical test launch, an unforeseen incident occurred.

A powerful temporal anomaly was unleashed blasting past the walls across the door hitting Juliet as she fell asleep on the ground from such a terrible hit. She woke up in the hospital in a daze surrounded by doctors who questioned her health status after the incident but felt fine.

Bleeding a little from the wound she was given from the impact and a mild headache but other than that she was alright. She remembers the blue light from the source of the blast being the last thing she saw as she rushed for safety before passing out.

She was sent back home a couple of days later where she then discovered her powers in the kitchen as she almost got a jump scare from the lighting storm outside and once she looked at the her reflection in the toaster, she saw she turned invisible for a split second then back to normal. She gasped in shock almost immediately stumbling on her own feet.

Over time she noticed her skin was softer and smoother almost instantly creating her timeless appearance, like she was using some kind of makeup product. Or if she was using a new set of coconut butter on her body to make it almost shine bright like a diamond.

She knew she couldn’t tell anyone at the time, especially thinking they might believe her to be seen as freak or worse. She wanted to continue her career as a dancer and actress, if someone found out that she affected by this…she might lose everything she worked for.

It was hard enough being an African American woman in Hollywood, but imagine being one who had some freaky abilities.

She would be screwed…

- The Unexpected Rise Of The Beauty 

After the incident at the NASA facility, Juliette Florence finds herself grappling with a new reality. Initially, she tries to dismiss the strange occurrences as figments of her imagination. The fleeting moments of invisibility and the odd sensations of teleportation, that appeared when she felt threatened—she chalks them up to stress and fatigue. 

But the doubts linger, casting a shadow over her already demanding start in Hollywood.

The Catalyst for Change

One late night, as she sits on her couch eating a fruit salad and flipping through channels, something catches her eye on the news. The screen displays rare footage captured on a phone of a tall, dark-skinned woman with bleach-white hair, commanding the forces of nature. The news anchor identifies her as Storm, a powerful mutant who uses her abilities to protect others. The sight of Storm—confident, unashamed, and using her powers for good—strikes a chord deep within Juliette.

For the first time since the incident, Juliette sees a reflection of herself in someone else. Storm's presence ignites a spark of hope and determination. If Storm can embrace her powers and use them to make a difference, perhaps Juliette can too.

Embracing the Unknown

The next morning, Juliette decides to face her fears head-on. She begins experimenting with her abilities in the safety of her home. Initially, it's a chaotic process filled with frustration, fear, and exhaustion. She practices teleporting from her living room to her backyard, learning to focus her mind on the target destination. She discovers that her invisibility is triggered by strong emotions—fear, frustration, and annoyance—and works on calming herself to control this power.

Each day, from Tuesday morning to Saturday afternoon, Juliette dedicates some time to understanding her abilities. She keeps a low profile, ensuring that no one outside her home learns about her powers. 

Despite the challenges, she persists, driven by the image of Storm and the realization that she, too, can harness her abilities.

Returning to Hollywood

After a while, Juliette returns to the movie studio. She realizes that the role she originally wanted no longer feels right. It's a painful reminder of the incident that changed her life. Instead, she speaks with her agent and decides to seek out roles that allow her more freedom to express herself—whether through singing, dancing, or acting in characters with depth and complexity.

Her determination pays off. She lands roles that not only showcase her talents but also allow her to draw on her newfound strength. Such as Iridessa in The Tinkerbell movies, Hidden Figures, Think Like A Man, Rio 2, Netflix’s Glass Onion, Bad Boys, and guest star in tv series.

Her performances gain a new layer of authenticity and power, captivating audiences and critics alike.

Any Headcanons on what the characters hometowns are?

I Headcanon McQueen coming from Dallas.

Same, anon! Though admittedly in my case this is just the Owen Wilson effect.

In my mind Sheriff is from Detroit, but I don't know if that's canon or headcanon. Sally and LA are, of course, canon. Flo, Detroit. Ramone, SoCal. But where they're from isn't as important to me as where they end up. I feel like they'd probably all name Radiator Springs as their hometown, not the factory where they were built, or any of their landing places in the time intervening.

Radiator Springs is home.

What Songs Were #1 When American Girl Characters Were Born?

I figured I'd do a list of what songs were #1 when Historical Characters (and Girl of the Year/Contemporary) were born. The list starts with Molly because the #1 songs lists I can find only begin at 1930 or so. As for Girls of the Year,the list begins with Saige because she has a definitive birthdate,while Girls of the Year before her only have a birth year.

Historical Girls: -Molly: Isle of Capri by Ray Noble and His Orchestra -Maryellen: My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time by Les Brown -Melody: Oh! My Pa-Pa (O Mein Papa) by Eddie Fisher -Ivy: Ballad of the Green Berets by Sgt Barry Sadler -Julie: Monday,Monday by The Mamas and the Papas -Courtney: 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon -Nicki and Isabel: Vogue by Madonna

Girl of the Year/Contemporary Girls: -Saige Copeland: Baby Boy by Beyonce and Sean Paul -Isabelle Palmer: since it's said she was born in Autumn of 2004, the #1 songs during that time were Pieces of Me by Ashlee Simpson, She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5, My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne, She Will Be Loved (for a second time), and Over and Over by Nelly and Tim McGraw. -Grace Thomas: Gold Digger by Kanye West and Jamie Foxx -Lea Clark: We Belong Together by Mariah Carey -Luciana Vega: SOS by Rihanna -Blaire Wilson: Right Round by Flo Rida and Kesha -Joss Kendrick: Rude Boy by Rihanna -Kira Bailey: Teenage Dream by Katy Perry -Corinne Tan: Someone Like You by Adele -Kavika Sharma: One More Night by Maroon 5 -Lila Monetti: Happy by Pharell -Tenney Grant: since it says she was born early May 2005, the likely #1 song the day she was born was Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani -Makena Williams: Disturbia by Rihanna -Evette Peters: I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry -Maritza Ochoa: Touch My Body by Mariah Carey

So, there's the list!
