Superhero au where Ariana Griande is Cuteguy and Xelqua is a Watcher

Everyone debates on which one's Grian, but the plot twist is that he's Poultry Man, the vigilante

Want to bet that at some point Danny with Tuckers help rigs up a livestream of the inside of the Fenton Fridge™ to try and catch how long it takes the hotdogs to turn into ghosts. Mostly he just wants some idea of when to clean out the fridge to prevent sudden hotdog attacks. No one outside of Amity Park takes it serious and thinks it is just a joke. A more boring version of a watch the lettuce outlast the politician only they don't know the context of the joke.

Then the live stream starts to glitch. Weird artifacting and fuzzing along the edges of the hotdog package form. A few people start to notice the odd items in the fridge like the specimen sample container filled with what looks like lime green jello. That sometimes the hands that rifle through it to take stuff out are wearing protective gloves.

The ARG people start to trickle into the stream and pick through past footage and Danny's other videos. His channel which had just a dozen or so followers ticks upwards and people join in on the new "Fridge Livestream ARG".

With his friends help Danny leans hard into letting people think it is an AGR. Tucker on the digital side with allowing more controlled bursts of the ecto-interfearence on the stream. Rigging up custom emots, notifications, and a donation page. Sam helps provide creepy ghost vegetables and fruit. Undergrowth's contact in the city has caused some creepy garden hotspots that grow super weird vegetables. Like potatoes that look like screaming faces or carrots with ridges like closed eyes. Danny starts moving the overflow of lab fridge stuff into the regular fridge things. Instead of them being banished to the drawer of shame Jazz created. Timing swapping the stuff into place with the bursts of artifacting Tucker lets through.

…i just saw this poll and my unevolved brain gel wriggled inside my cranium like a feral fish:

idk how you look at his official art and call him conventionally attractive. my man looks like a wet dog and has eyebags for daysss. face full of pox scars, skin pale af, and those shaggy ass hair & a rugged beard hanging from his flat long face.

he is pretty *to me* but like dude???

—not exactly a heartthrob boy band material is he?

obv I wouldn’t call him “misunderstood baby uwu” if we are talking a little more seriously —but to be fair jean is having possibly the worst week of his life. the car? fucking sunk. case? unsolved. not to mention his close partner (who is also an ass mind you) doesn’t even remember him, already running around with a new one.

yeah he is absolutely foul and aggressive and degrading harry but like i said before (in my tag essay lol) judit also makes ableist comments and i don’t see people hating her because she’s outwardly nice—

and respects harry as her superior. her BOSS.

(also a friend with benefits? /nope, it’s just him harassing judit/ as well but not as a complicated relationship compared jean and harry’s brötherbund. only a few months of acquaintanceship.)

plus it’s highhlyyy likely that harry is not the only one substance abuse. —look at jean’s rudolf-looking-red-ass-nose. a drunkard’s sniffers. probably had few lines with him late at night… when your lifetime partner is an alcoholic it's hard to say no.

about the left for dead thing, they left because harry told them to fuck off. tbh harry is nightmare to work with esp pre-bender. (and am saying as a pathetic little unmedicated neurodivergent woman.)

but when the second time they left revachol was not jean’s fault, and it was judit’s suggestion anyway. the squad probably thought that since harry had someone a little more responsible looking after him. it will be fine when they come back. the tribunal was absolutely unaccounted for.

yet despite all of these things, he will try to come back to make sure he is ok and accommodate harrier to the best of his abilities which is wearing very thin. look at him trying to make up to our harry boy:

anyways am incapable of writing coherent thoughts (even though i want to talk about it for hours) that make sense so go look at sygneth’s jean psychological analysis instead. it is an excellent read. please go read.

My most male trait is the "ye I can do that" attitude abt stuff I have no means of actually knowing whether I can do

[jamesvowles]

setting the scene here: gas station attendant and serial killer au in which a serial killer keeps on going to this gas station late at night and keeps seeing the same cashier there....

context about the au:

they dont do anything w each other, simply vibing in a place at the same time

the serial killer is killing ppl....ofc

the serial killer mentions in an offhand way (most of the time...) that they kill people and the cashier is like haha okay weird, makes his night

cashier fantasizes about wtf that serial killer is doing, serial killer is thinking about what it would be like to yaoi the guy

arguments for max being the killer -> idk hes got that menace vibe going on

arguments for george being the killer -> he's probably knows the law and strategy to do it

arguments for max being the cashier -> he kinda looks like a late night gas station employee

arguments for george being the cashier -> i like to imagine gr in weird jobs

Thinking about Cas' background and why she probably got picked as a potential heir for Theodora.

So going off the Noble Triumphs, I changed Cas' from Apex of Brilliance (+Persuasion, stopping a Feudal War) to Feat of Greatness (+Coercion, destroyed a rival house's reputation and had them banished from the Sector) for her second run. And while those options are assuming a more interplanetary scale than anything she handled back home, I do think functionally the same thing happened for her because of how tenuous peace in Port Suffering is and how massive the impact of failing can be.

And getting a rival Vai's main envoy(s) exiled from Port Suffering would be a huge deal even if it's not a move with the same impact as a similar maneuver on say, Scintilla. Because even in the best case scenario where the Vai would just have to find some new people, that warband is still looking at

So one of the ways Iocanthos "works" is that Port Suffering is parked on the largest reserve of water on the planet, and, by controlling the only spaceport, the Imperium has almost full control of what resources are given out to who and when. So there is the 5 year flower tally that decides the Vervai (Planetary Governor) and their warband gets top pick for everything, but in those intervening years and for everyone else, each warband has various full or part time envoys who are sent to the city to negotiate contracts with the Administratum for necessary provisions. So envoys not only have to be socially savvy and educated enough to flatter whatever Administratum Adepts have been assigned to handle whatever resource without getting screwed over, but they're also competing with each other to get the best/most for their people absent being the Vervai's own representative.

And so on that level I don't even see Cas' Rule of Annoying as being especially unique to her, since, absent the ability to outright fight each other within city walls, undermining and pissing each other off is just a mode of communication most of them cultivate. But I think where Cas gets noticed, is that she doesn't just undermine one of her rivals, she plays the game well enough that she provokes them to the point where they lose their cool and end up banished outright (with their contracts conveniently granted to her instead).

A) Anywhere between a few weeks to a year or more to learn the news. Since information travels by snail mail (maybe illegal wizard if lucky).

B) Finding people worth replacing the old envoy with, and potentially training them (do they know the Creed? Can they speak Low Gothic? Can they read? Etc)

C) Sending the new people to Port Suffering without them being intercepted and possibly killed

D) However long it would take for the new people to adjust to how things work there and claw their way back into the Administratum's esteem

And all the while, that's time that that warband has no access to resources beyond maybe the bare minimum, and longer they'll likely be barred from anything necessary to stay ahead like weapons, vehicle parts, etc. Worst case scenario the whole warband ends up eventually dissolving as people defect to more prosperous rivals or straight up die.

And I think with Theodora, having a rather eccentric taste in who she chooses for her inner circle, probably saw the incident in whatever background check report and recognized the magnitude of that. Because on the one hand "backwater Agri-world-er' does not a good Rogue Trader make on its face but because of the way Cas' home planet is set up there is a surprising amount of political savvy needed to be successful in such a way that is valuable for a Rogue Trader in the semi-Frontier of the Koronus Expanse. And I think the added bonus of the fact that most Imperial Worlders would underestimate Cas could be an asset in seeing how she does as a potential successor because proving herself by holding her cool against Barbarian Envoy #3 may mean something on Iocanthos, but if she could do the same against, say, Calligos Winterscale, that's very valuable.

finally, after months of taunting me, I've taken down the uninhabitable top tank from my betta rack

and it reminded me why doing fish stuff in the winter sucks ass: no freaking hose

Walk cycle for Evil without all the floppy bits (which will hopefully be ik in Unity. wish me luck).

[curiosityschild]

On the website for my county government for some reason and all five of our county commissioners look like supervillains. Like. It looks like someone travelled across the multiverse to pluck five supervillains from five different genres and got them all together to govern my county for some reason.
