TOMORROW'S MY BIRTHDAY AND IM HYPED I'M TURNING 21 TOMORROW RAAAHHHHHHHHH

Which reminds me, out of all the Mob WH cast, who would actually remember someone's birthday? I have a feeling they don't really celebrate much unless they're celebrating a victory against a rival gang or something

YOOO MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW TOO GAMER YAAAAAAA

However iv given some thought about this topic lately actually, and iv come to terms with: Nobody remembers their birthday, and even if they did, Wally wouldn’t care about it. Instead, Wally would reassign their birthday to the day they joined the mob. He would even make it as special as any other birthday, because nothing is more important than the day they’ve united and finally became family.

YOU. CITIZEN. tell me more about that zombie apocalypse au where etho is called ladders. is your intention romantic ethubs or are they bros. does bdubs have any important skills or is he just sorta sad and pathetic. do they travel together? I'm aware you probably don't intend to develop this au but this is a formal invitation to do so

ok so you're right i have absolutely no plan to develop it really or turn it into an actual thing BUT. if i were to.

no one knows what etho and bdubs have going on. neither of them care to work out what it is either. it just is. everyone IS placing bets on it though

bdubs is GREAT at fortifying buildings and setting up base camps. everyone is awed by how he can make a shoddy little hovel feel like home. great at making the most of meager supplies

bdubs also is the master of camouflage. bro is covered in leaves n whatever stuff he picked up off the ground. etho says this is stupid ("we're in a city, what are you blending in with") but bdubs insists his camouflage mastery is an undefeated survival tactic

they stay in the city (at least mostly) bc etho refuses to leave the safety of his ladders and bdubs refuses to go out at night

they don't spend all their time together but they keep in touch with radios. they have separate base camps but both of them are welcome to crash at eachother's places

and bonus info u didn't ask for but i'm adding anyways

bdubs uses a machete, and whatever he can grab to either throw or whack with

bdubs learned how to improvise small explosives from tango. he is not as good at it as tango.

etho uses an axe

etho was previously sleeping on the floor till bdubs got offended at his state of living and dragged etho along on a mission to locate a mattress and haul it up to his place (etho still sleeps on the floor sometimes. for fun.)

etho got his eye poked out n wears one of those white medical eye patches bc having an open hole in his face is not good for avoiding contamination

doc is partially infected. he's called doc bc he's the go to guy for cutting off limbs. he learned by amputating his own arm 👍

doc is also constantly preaching the dangers of scurvy. everyone teases him for having the medical knowledge of a 1600s sailor but they still some crawling back to him begging for some of the tomatoes from his roof garden so who's the real winner here

Pentious’s sweet smile stayed on his face for a few seconds before it twisted into something more akin to a grimace. A few more eyes opened around his head, all of them gold instead of glittering red.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but how do Fionn’s neighbors react to the puppets? I mean they’ve clearly seen them around at some point, so what do they do? Do they call the police? Do they storm Fionn’s house demanding answers? Are they all so scared of the Things coming from Fionn’s house that they just stay away? Has anyone noticed and tried to talk to the puppets? If so, how do the puppets react to people who aren’t Fionn talking to them?

I imagine little kids notice and try to talk to the puppets before getting dragged away by their panicked parents who think Fionn is a madman engaging in unethical biological experiments at his house lol

Fionn doesn't have too many nearby neighbours, where he lives is more closed off from his town - he lives in a small clearing near the woods - but he's a few minutes walk away from the small town where his neighbours are. His neighbours think of him as a loner, quiet and moody and often drinking, but they don't think negatively of him cause he will help out someone struggling if he crosses paths with them. Some have had conversation with him, enough encounters to start raising eyebrows at his weird behaviour - the ransacking of thrift stores for clothes, the extra beer and lollipop purchases, him shoving around 8 weird looking strangers they've never seen, etc.

If their disguises were to slip, they'd be fear at first, parents trying to hold their kids back - but a little old dear would adjust her glasses and say "Hey.. ain't ya lot the puppets from my daughter's old puppet show?" and one by one the adults start to recognise them. Needless to say, Fionn was gobsmacked that his small town are Welcome Home fans!

I’ve been watching “Wednesday” and I was reminded of my love for Gomez and Morticia’s romance. Their love is so passionate and Gomez’ devotion to Morticia reminded me of someone. So here it is, the au you’ve all been waiting for: Morticia!Kurt and Gomez!Blaine :)

okay but dude.

Scientist x Radio show host needs to be an au.

And it doesn't even have to necessarily be a Nightvale au, but just scientist x radio show host. Kind of like how you have flower shop owner x tattoo artist aus ya know?

Istg Cecilos scientist x radio show host is just so fuckin iconic it just needs its very own au.

i for one vouch to start this movement if it has already not been. i swear i will make this happen with my own bare hands if necessary, in the name of Cecilos. o7

[Trimming for length...!]

...Mechalor Anon, how dare you take my attempts to give them a vaguely implied happy ending and convince me (challenge level: super easy) to turn this into something Truly Horrific... ANYWAY!

Snowflake!Noir and Adeleine, aka...**** ****...

Adeleine, as always, takes up art. She's more unsure of herself, so she's been experimenting with different crafts, trying to find the one that fits...whoever she is now. Noir waits tables at Kawasaki's while learning how to cook from him. He's stuck with his collar but the encroachment seemingly stopped with 02's defeat so...that's good.

[This timeline MUST have a Happy Ending. See? They're even smiling!]

They have a home at Castle Dedede when they're not out...enjo... sorry ENJOYING!! Dream Land; the soft cuddle bear penguin king unable to NOT care about these two in every reality, apparently ^^

Overall, they're not fine. All that shock and trauma in rapid succession, followed by being in communion with a dark power, letting it gently infuse their souls for decades to help escape their awful waking life, only to be very psychically available as it was destroyed and then waking up in a perfectly ALIEN situation that only pushes the two of them closer together is totally not fine though!

Today was another good day...

[Warning: horror, body horror, original attempt at biblically accurate Kirby last boss, semi-realistic eyes, no salvation, character death]

-

:Adeleine smiles wide, hopping onto the large bed where Noir sits:

Adeleine: "Ready?"

Noir: "Only if you're ready to lose two bucks."

Adeleine: "No way! Today was a good day! It's going to work!"

:Adeleine gears up to pry at Noir's collar, trying to break or otherwise remove it from him. It still refuses to budge:

Adeleine: "...Nghhhhhhh!"

:Noir wryly shakes his head:

Noir: "Ready to call it quits?"

Adeleine: "...Noir, are you sure you didn't accidentally glue this thing to you and you've been too embarrassed to tell me the truth?"

Noir: "Says the girl who sewed the shirt she was wearing TO my apron when I asked you to fix the ties on it for me. I didn't know you hated being apart from me that much, Adeleine!"

Adeleine: "No~ir!!"

Noir: "Anyway, no, I didn't and that's two bucks you owe me."

Adeleine: "...I don't have any money. They don't even use it here. Why do you keep betting me? What would you buy, anyway?"

:Noir replies with mock seriousness:

Noir: "...Chiropractic work for all the neck damage you've given me trying this thing every single day."

:She pouts before finally letting a little laugh slip through:

"...Adeleine, listen, it's okay. You don't need to worry about me..."

Adeleine: "It's not okay though! Dark Matter's supposed to be all gone now. Everyone said so. So...why aren't you better, Noir...?"

:A faltering smile to match her growing sadness:

:Keep lying to your sister, boy. You're an expert by now:

Noir: "...I am better. We're both better. Right...?"

"I mean, isn't this place a lot better than home? You're out there painting and sculpting and sewing and building and who knows what else and I'm...making less guests sick at Kawasaki's every day!"

:He laughs a hollow laugh. She doesn't laugh with this time:

"...Just cause this stupid thing is still stuck to me doesn't actually MEAN anything. It's just a boring hunk of metal. Nothing more."

:It doesn't still whisper to him. A thousand lost souls crying out to be one again:

:She crawls into his lap:

Adeleine: "Still...I'm...scared, Noir. I'm scared for us. Nothing feels right anymore... What if, the next time I go to sleep...I wake up someplace new again? What if...it's someplace without you...?"

:He hugs her tight, their shivering bodies fitting together perfectly:

:Why do you shiver, children? It is not cold here. It is too warm:

Noir: "C'mon, snowflake girl. That's not gonna happen anymore. We've stuck together so far and we're going to keep sticking. Right?"

"...And anyway, today was a good day. You said it yourself."

Adeleine: "Yeah..."

Noir: "We just have to keep having good days. Don't let the little things get to us. We've still got each other. ...We can do this..."

:Back to sleep. In sleep, we are safe. Only in sleep. Though... ...They ask us to wake up here They worry when we do not wake up:

--

:Outside the door to their room:

Meta: "...Your majesty."

Dedede: "Whaa?! It's not what it looks like!!"

Meta: "I have no idea what you're implying."

Dedede: "So, uh, what brings ya here, Meta Knight?"

Meta: "The same reason as you, I would suspect. To check on the status of our guests from Shiver Star. How are they?"

:Dedede points inside, where the two siblings sleep cradled in each other's arms, akin to how they were found. Though, it's a little uncanny to see them continue to sleep that way:

Dedede: "See for yourself. Sleepin' peacefully. At least, I hope so..."

:A bit of worry makes its way onto his face:

"...Adeleine's right, Meta. We beat Dark Matter. Twice. Hell, maybe more! Sure, we've had a host of problems since then but Noir's..."

Meta: "Do you believe that, my liege? That we have defeated it?"

Dedede: "What do you mean by that?"

Meta: "...When you look at those siblings, what do you see?"

:Dedede looks back inside the room:

Dedede: "I see two kids. Quiet. Respectful. Scared of trouble but they don't cause any. They mostly stick to each other but I seem 'em out there slowly trying to make friends with the others..."

Meta: "...You are a good man, my liege."

:Dedede balks and puffs up his chest:

Dedede: "That's 'Great' and get it right!"

Meta: "......Then I take it back."

Dedede: "Hey!"

:Meta fixes him with a fierce, burning gaze:

Meta: "Look at them again, sire. Not with your eyes."

Dedede: "......"

:Dedede can see it, their matter is locked in a twisted spiral, Soul and Dark feeding each other, tightly intertwined, and growing still:

Meta: "Do you see it?"

Dedede: "...No. I don't see nuthin'."

:Dedede turns away:

"And before you ask me to look again, I don't WANT to see it. They're just two kids, Meta! Just two small kids! They haven't hurt nobody!"

Meta: "...In the beginning, it was just the boy. He was sick with Dark Matter. I didn't know how he was still alive. He could have easily been a threat to the kingdom and not just because of that sword."

:Meta shuts his eyes, regretting his lapse:

"I...had hoped the presence of his sister could alleviate that some. But Dark Matter is not so easily tamed. It has grown fast, feeding off the two of them. It is already more than twice what a normal member of their species should be able to handle without being consumed."

Dedede: "...Right. That doesn't sound good. How do we stop it?"

:He sees Meta Knight's expression and rephrases:

"...How do we save 'em, Meta?"

Meta: "I believe, my liege..."

:His lowered eyes go to Galaxia's handle:

"...the answer will depend on your definition of 'save'..."

...

Meta Knight's words hung heavy on him.

King Dedede shut his eyes and decided to continue along as if it was nothing. Just...keep making the place as comfortable for the two as he could. Maybe the knight was wrong? Maybe it wasn't too late?

It wasn't long after that. The trigger was something forgettably small, as simple as a thoughtless suggestion or an accident; one of them gets hurt, bleeds a little, maybe. It only needs to be one of them, so inextricably are they linked that the resonance of the other's echoed pain races across Popstar like a sonic boom. Dark clouds swirl in, covering the whole planet, blocking out the star's brilliant light.

King Dedede rushes out. He doesn't want to know-without-question what is the cause this time. He wants it to be something unknown. A new invader; not his familiar tormentor, the foe he knows so well.

But he knows exactly what it is because he is already mouthing the words to a waiting Meta Knight. "The kids! Where are they...?!"

"Look up..."

It is a cruel joke to him. Always, Dark Matter had a way of getting inside him. But every time, it had been his body. Never had it succeeded at invading his heart.

He wishes this one would take his body.

...Take me instead...

But the two violet eyes are not looking at him. They arc laterally with rapid movements, back and forth, back and forth, stretching to the edge of their vision, looking for their other half they know to be there, felt through the comforting grip of tightly twined fingers and hinted at in the reflection of wings like the points of a snowflake...

...

I know it’s early but c’mon we all skip Thanksgiving and as soon as Halloween ends we all jump into Christmas. So Welcome Home is now subjected to all our favorite Holiday themes, and what better theme than A Christmas Carol. And of course I had to add my sweet batty baby Bellflower! Dressed in her finest party dress for any scene that depicts a party in the story-from either the past or present or even future. She is available for anybody else’s Welcome Home Christmas Carol AU and all I ask is credit as always.

girl!daniel question! Even if she throws everything out does she maybe keep the earrings max complimented? Maybe wears them when her and max go out on a date or something??

Girl Daniel is always happy to answers questions😎🫡

So Daniel 10000% keeps the earrings because when she was doing her big Clean Out they were still scattered in her handbag from when she ripped them off and shoved them in while in tears, and when she finally finds them she's more calm and just places them carefully on her bedside table trying not to think about everything they make her feel.

After her and Max get together, she goes back to wearing them, but teases Max about them and calls them her "definitely not pretty earrings" and each time he huffs and his cheeks darken and he tries to explain that what he meant -

And Daniel will just shake her head and remind him that he very clearly called them pretty but then later took it back and expressively told her that he did not mean it and and and -

And every time she wears them, she gently ribs him about them with a teasing smile until Max begins to call them her Definitely Not Pretty Earrings too.

Being with Max is freeing because he genuinely doesn't really care about how dressed up/baggy her clothes or appearances are, and so in this safety of security Daniel begins to experiment with her feminimity and gender expression, and as long as she stays happy then Max is happy and as long as Max is happy she is happy, but no matter how many crystal bracelets or overlapping necklaces or hippie dresses she invests in, the silver, dangling Definitely Not Pretty earrings remain a staple.

Fast forward. Daniel's having visa issues and airport security is always a pain and hassle and Max is just like 🤷let's just get married🤷 and Daniel is like🤷‍♀️okay why not🤷‍♀️ (while ofc both internally are freaking out because they get to marry each one!!!)

Both agree to do it in secret because neither are really ready to be Married™️ (not Daniel with her complex issues with traditional gender roles and the fact she promised she'd never get married and become "just" a housewife (((✨️the internalised misogyny is back!✨️))) and not Max with his unresolved childhood trauma with marriage and family). So they do it just because it's Rational and Makes Sense, and so Daniel is just beyond surprised when Max presents her with ring. And she is embarrassed because she didn't even think of getting him a ring or anything, but he shrugs and says it does not matter to him.

And the ring is silver and sort of... weird. Like it looks like silver strands of scales woven together, and some parts are thin and some are thick, and Daniel just adores it because it's weird and unusual, and Max chose it for her. She figures he just bought it at some flee market and likes imaging all the lives it lived before reaching hers. And she wears it on her ring finger but on her right hand after they technically get married secretly.

Nothing else changes, but her mother bluntly tells her that her new ring is ugly and her sister says it's looks unfinished or something, and Daniel just laughs, uncaring and happy. And finally, it's her dad, a few years later when she's spending a few weeks at home in Australia. Her dad gives her a look and asks if the ring came with her earrings, and it's only then, finally, that she realises that, of course. They're matching. They're the same. And Max must've had the ring designed specially to match her Definitely Not Pretty earrings.

When she finally gets back to Monaco, she blurts out the question if he did, and he laughs and gives her a funny look and says had she really not noticed, it's been years. That ofc the ring matches her earrings, he had it made specially for her.

Daniel just goes quiet and then tells Max she didn't know, and he laughs and asks what difference does it make? And Daniel kisses him, and then the next time she is at a race, the ring is still on her ring finger, but this time in her left hand, and Max has a matching one too :)))

[basil-except-writing]

if I ever made a nightvale au I'd probably make it a two perspective thing. Like Carlos's and Cecil's perspectives. Like for Carlos, it'd be horror, while Cecil's would be romance.

Like Carlos would have a crush on Cecil but he wouldn't realize, so he'd just think it was some sort of scientific anomaly caused by Night vale. "Hmmm, I feel my heart rate increase, and my face heat up when I'm around him. And I feel an overwhelming sense of safety and comfort around him.... hmmm.. it's probably just something to do with the area!" while Cecil is just hit by a truck of love when he sees Carlos.

I'd also probably give Carlos a bit of internalized homophobia while Nightvale is a very accepting and open place for the LGBTQ community. (Carlos will still be hella gay dw) But I'd probably do it so Carlos would slowly overcome it. It'll still linger, but over time, he'd be able to say no to it and keep moving. (definitely not for projection purposes, no siree).

Idk I just like thinking about them

[another-snowjanus-fangirl]

OK so snowjanus is great and so on but why there are no Tigris/Sejanus fics on ao3 yet.

Let our overly empathetic, tragic characters, the only 2 people in Capitol who dared to oppose the hunger games find each other. Let them be happy together. Let sejanus fall for the better snow family member who would never betray him.

EDIT: if ppl can make a canonically straight character gay, I can make an almost canonically gay character straight
