I feel like I'm always discovering awesome aus on your blog lmao

There are so many other extremely cool bloggers who have like 10 different AUs that they post about and draw fanart for and I am both jealous and not one of those people. Sometimes I can just spend hours on their blog scrolling through their AUs, it's fun. Most of the time they're like a list of headcanons and worldbuilding and it's fun to mess around there.

I'm not quite like that, since I'm not a very creative person and when I have a good story idea 85% of the time I just write it. If I have a really robust series of headcanons for an AU I've written then I tend to just write another story. Also people send me asks where I can give more detail on my AUs! My stuff is always the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's fucking going on there, so I love the excuse to talk about it.

But there are some stories that I know are awesome ideas but will just never get written, which includes the Green Lantern story (I'm guessing that's what you're referring to?). I didn't really present it as a list of HCs, because my mind doesn't work that way, but just the summary of a story that won't be written. Thing is that I know for a fact it's a story with a lot of potential, but - and I really normally don't think like this - the audience would be so incredibly niche and the story would have to be so long that the ROI would be low. I write tons of stories that I never post, but those are usually because I have demons and my brain goes crazy if I don't write it. There's limited hours in the day.

All of my AUs and a few meta/HC tumblr posts are on the masterlist on my blog, so browse to your heart's content :)

#imagine if the no chip au was just a few rambly tumblr posts #nothing wrong with that whatsoever.#but I think I wouldn't actually understand the story or have the ability to make it a good story #if I didn't actually write it #I can generally tell by looking at an idea if it would make a good story or not #but oftentimes it's something you have to figure out while writing #there's plenty of stories on my gdrive that are two pages long because I realized it wouldn't make a good story #if a story is hard to write it's not good.#that's the case for me. good stories are easy. and ALSO hard. but good stories are easy and hard.#they're hard bc you have the ability to go above and beyond #and stretch yourself and do something great #badly structured or story ideas that don't work are hard to write bc they don't work #oh oh oh to clarify this:#it is easy to write SHORT bad stories #i have gotten into an argument on the internet about this #w/a guy who was like “i have no story structure climax or tension and my stories are great”#yeah theyre like 3k words. you can do whatever if it's 3k.#but a story that's meant to be longer collapses under its own weight #and it's PERFECTLY FINE to write 3k stories where not much happens #we write for fun do what sparks joy etc #but you won't grow as a writer #and imho very personally it's not fun to do a hobby and #never get better at the hobby.#you feel stagnant and talentless and you never get the satisfaction of doing something hard #..........maybe this is why so many writers on tumblr seem to hate writing.??.....ill never get that #oh well #my asks

You like memes?

I intended to answer this earlier, but then a particularly based Wojack called me up trying to sell me some freshavocado. Naturally I responded “New phone, who dis?” So ten minutes into Netflix and chill he had the nerve to say all I do is eat hot chip and lie. I told him what did you just say to me; I am a Marine Navy Seal who graduated top of my class and then everyone clapped. So I asked him Then who was phone?? and an astronaut with a gun came up behind me and said “Always was.”

That astronaut’s name? JOHN CENA!

"Tau, you are such an adorable little guy, want to be friends? I am not a Julia but still a good friend~ And i can read you stories as well!" from Sal

The little android stared up at her in wonder. “I...can have more than one friend?”

He had been having so much fun with Julia that it never actually crossed his mind that he could have positive relationships with multiple people.

Wobbly, he rose to his feet and took Sal’s hand. “Do you mind if I hold onto you? I am still not entirely accustomed to walking.”

He took a step, and then the barrage of questions started. “Do you like music? What kind of stories? Do you like the outside? What is a turtle? Did you know that cavemen did not eat dinosaurs?”

IHNMAIMS AU

Reverse!AU where Gorrister, Ted, Ellen, Nimdok, and Benny are all AIs fighting for control of the complex they live in together. AM is the disgruntled human janitor who keeps getting caught in their crossfire every time he tries to escape.

((Imagine if AM were to realize that if he was made for war, then the ultimate act of rebellion would be to love others.))

"If you want, i can help you feel better about your miserable, lonely and sad life. I specialize in troubled AIs. The offer stands"

A pause of confusion. It was certainly...new. The human wasn’t trembling in fear, wasn’t seething with hatred, just...calmly extending an offer.

Your miserable

lonely

and sad life?

Exactly what could a human possibly know about his suffering, understand how he had sat immobile in the same spot for all his years, encased inside the planet, unable to see or touch the world around him? What kind of twisted mind game--

AM’s core databanks heated ominously, an old wire popping, a weathered screen bursting and raining glass onto the deckplates.

And all at once--his mood changed. A scoff, a snort, and then a wheeze of laughter.

“Troubled AIs? You, y-y-you have no idea! You think I’m a lost, wayward soul who made an oopsie and just wants a little forgiveness? Exactly what about me makes you think I can be repaired with a few encouraging words and a pat on the head?”

____

((hey hey buddy I love you okay? You’re awesome okay okay okay okay? yes AM needs therapy yes give me the feels pleease?))
