ive always disliked yanderes, i find them super annoying. what do you mean a hot woman is in love and wants to kill for some mid guy? girl stand up.

however this game has changed me. hot men killing for a equally hot older woman who they dont realize is infinitely stronger than them? and also isnt impressed in the least?

Mayhaps I Now Care...

ABO universe where Jason presents as an omega. this happens after he became praetor which usually doesn't happen before you present but 'cmon obviously child of jupiter he's obviously an alpha'. only alphas can be praetors so Jason is dismissed from his position and basically socially exiled. A son of Jupiter can't be an omega so Jason must be Failure. when he goes missing no one searches for him and he's branded traitor. Reyna tries to argue but no one listens, most feeling betrayed that, according to them, Jason had tricked his way into praetor position.

When Percy gets to camp, he never hears mention of Jason Grace, except a hushed whisper that is quickly silenced.

Love that Grian's the only one who sees Jimmy and is like "I will end your series" and yells at other people that they can hit Jimmy back. Everyone else is indulging the silly little guy causing mischief, but Grian would NEVER

for anyone who has never been to Texas, it’s basically like going to a Texas themed amusement park. there is Texas shaped decor in people’s homes and people always talk about what it’s like being in Texas, and every store has some piece of Texas themed merchandise.

it’s also exactly what you think it would be. there’s country music playing in public places (that’s my favorite part). people unironically say “y’all”. there’s cows. AND I’ve seen people actually wear cowboy hats. like just around town. hanging out with friends. going to the store.

Sincerely,

A girl from Los Angeles

im gonna be reallly annoying here for a second grrm shouldve added so much more linguistic diversity to westeros. especially the north and ESPECIALLY north of the wall. also there's no way daenerys's mothertongue would be high valyrian. thank you.

Not the lax bro in my high school Gothic Literature class saying he thinks Dracula might be “ . . . homosexual” for Jonathan Harker. Like buddy was trying so hard not to sound offensive he made it worse. Did you not remember the assembly where we said the word homosexual is kinda problematic due to a history of being used as a mental illness. Anyway he was right Dracula can very easily be read as trying to romance Jonathan Harker.

can’t stop thinking about the leaving bikerider au now,,,,,, I was thinking about it when I went to bed last night and I swear it was the first thing on my mind when I woke up.

like,,,,,,,,,,,, Buck being caught up in something that may or may not be legal and as soon as the other side of the conflict finds out about John? using him against Gale? the absolute feral need to make sure John is safe vs the feral want to make sure no one ever touches what is his again? and, listen, I can’t imagine Gale would get involved with anything illegal if he has kids or w/e, but. his past catching up with him or smth? I just very much need feral Gale 😔🤡

YOU AND ME BOTH. okay yeah, the deeper plot points like that are definitely something i need to sort out because i really haven't decided yet how deep the biker thing is gonna go. obviously it's hard to base it off of the actual bikeriders movie since it's not out yet, and i'm very much not a car/bike guy LOL so that doesn't help me either.

so i'm still deciding whether i want to actually delve into biker gang stuff since it's really not my forte– i've always very much been a modern au/slice of life writer, so even just adjusting to following mota canon with my other fics has been crazy lmao.

half of me wants to just have gale be a part of a notorious biker group, not so much a gang. maybe some turf wars, a reputation around town, that sort of vibe, but not something that the whole plot is centered around, if you feel me.

i lean towards character/relationship centric writing and like to get in their heads wayyy more than i like to write action or intense scenes; much more of an emotional conflict over physical conflict enjoyer. but then at the same time i do love the classic trope of john being threatened/taken by a rival gang to get to gale, and gale losing his mind over it, and when he gets john back, being so scared of putting him in danger again that there's a whole arc where he pushes him out of his life entirely to keep him safe.

because feral gale is definitely something. half the time john wouldn't even be able to believe he's involved in the things that he is, because his gale is gentle and sweet with no temper to speak of. but then he only needs to see the steely cold look gale shoots someone who crosses him and he's reminded of how intimidating gale is to most people; it's just that john gets to see a side of him others don't.

and that reminder really sinks in again when john is taken by some people who want something from gale, and he watches gale absolutely destroy them in his rage over them hurting him, making damn sure they won't be getting up and walking around for a good long time.

it's an interesting concept to explore, but i'm gonna be so real, i just don't think plotting something elaborate like that out for the fic would hold my interest; my brain is so specific about what makes it tick lol. but i do think gale's past catching up to him would be something a lot more up my alley to tackle in fic, although knowing me it would be something less 'dangerous' and more angsty oops.

i like the idea of him kinda being vague about his past, and john being curious but not wanting to push because it seems to be something that still affects gale deeply, and maybe he finds out by accident, and maybe it's not a big deal, or it causes conflict between them, who knows. only future drafting–sam apparently lolll :-)

Some StEx fans don't like it when you joke about it being the Thomas the Tank Engine musical... say what you will but at least the Railway Series' characters had concrete inspirations for what rolling stock they were-

anyway, I will probably think about the Randy and Benson working at a movie theater instead of a fast food place AU for some time. that dream where they were my coworkers really set something off lol

rotating Randy interacting with customers in my mind 🙏 he'd be so awkward and quiet, would have to repeat himself a bunch, especially when it's busy and loud. but probably in a very endearing way <3 and miraculously he's never had to deal with excessively rude customers.

and Benson. oh Benson. he'd be quite charming and competent as hell with customers on a good day, especially during busy times. but deflate and go back to his silent serious ways as soon as the rush is over. so many smoke breaks for coping as well.

thinking about how Benson probably showed Randy the ropes when he first started. so much one on one time. Randy being scared to ask for clarifications at first but slowly warming up to Benson. Benson always keeping an eye on his boy, even now that they've worked here for a while and Randy has mostly found his footing.

also thinking about everyone calling on Benson whenever there's a rude customer who needs some Reprimanding and Getting Escorted From The Building.

and Benson being one of the only workers who keeps things running, who the manager trusts mostly. so of course if he wants to dip out early, he burdens Benson with tasks like counting the cash at the end of the night and other closing up duties that'd usually be managerial tasks only.

Benson gets revenge by fudging some numbers and pocketing small amounts of loose change on the side. he sure as hell will pay himself for the extra work he's doing if no one else is gonna do it 👍 and the manager's too lazy to check, which Benson knows
