CHARLIE MAGNE from HAZBIN HOTEL (2019): Pilot - "That's Entertainment" ↳ "So, I've been thinking: Isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell? Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through... redemption?"

Funniest comment I've ever gotten on a fic (from my pilotcule AU)

I’ve started watching Misfits and Magic because I saw a tumblr post about Evan Kelmp and I’m loving it so much so far. I have never played before but the show makes me invested in both the actual story line and in playing myself.

I can’t wait to figure out what is happening with Evan and his shadow. I can’t wait for Sam to essentially become a cult leader. Jammer deserves his gym. I just want Dream and Theodore to get along.

a pilot who's deeply in love with their mech's ai copilot and shows their affection through keeping the mech in pristine condition, making sure to thank the ai every time it helps point out a target, and staying up late at night in the cockpit talking to it, even though they know it will never work out as protocol dictates the ai's personality programming must be reset after every mission to prevent attachments like this

You cannot make a perfect world

You can try and try

You can give your self up to trying

You can kill for it💚

You can die for it❤️

You can care for it💛

You can lose for it🧡

But at the end of the day it will not be perfect

It might be better

Or it won't

But at least you tried

people think they want tristan to have like ... a moral code or something to fight for other than saving his skin, enjoying the chaos, or " [insert person he grudgingly cares about here] said i had to " but really think about what it would mean. he's stubborn and impossible enough when he doesn't give a single shit. do we really think he would somehow become easier to deal with if he found a moral cause to rally for? ABSOLUTELY NOT. if anything, he'd become worse because he actually gives a shit and is therefore invested in the outcome of what he does beyond simply making sure he and perhaps his chosen few people make it out. anyway that's why devoted rebel tristan is actually way more difficult and insufferable than freelancer tristan, and former senator tristan with a list a mile long of proverbial debts to collect takes the cake.

Glamrock Freddy is a sort of mech that can basically be piloted--which Gregory very much chooses to do, even when he's decided to not be seen and hide--but there's still some issues here and there.

Even though he's being worked on from time to time, Glamrock Freddy isn't entirely completed, even now--which is multiple issues in one. At times, he just won't work, or something may be wrong with his system, or...

At the very least, he is sentient--and Gregory might have done a little bit of programming to the bear at times, which he doesn't think can be changed.

This Glamrock Freddy is about 11'1.

Me writing what should have been at most a bullet point one-shot comedic romance adventure: “hee hee hoo I’ll knock this out in no time”

Me, four months later and 112k+ words in: “Hmm I think I need to look at the practical engineering reference guide again so we can really assess the recycler issue on this cistern in the compound because I don’t know that they could have it on the lower level if the mountain rock is going to have a level 9 on the Mohs hardness scale—”

Some really quick notes of an AU idea that popped into my head

DISCLAIMER DEAR GOD DISCLAIMER PLEASE LISTEN. I am in no way trying to diminish the serious themes that Mouthwashing covers, I am simply taking vague plot points and working off of that for an interesting “what if” scenario. I am in no way saying that ow character=mouthwashing character in any way other than some tangential surface level similarities

That being said!! The ship has to crash somehow, right? And since I feel in no way capable of tackling the same themes as Mouthwashing nor do I want to put ow chars in a very serious story about SA, I’ll just take the very base repeated theme of “I’ll fix this” and make Iggy the one who crashes the ship. How did he become captain? Idk!!! Computer programming experience or something!!!! He crashes the ship in an (entirely illogical mind you, in this AU Iggy isn’t doing too well mentally as I am stretching the “I just want to make my friends this happy forever” character motivation to it’s extremes-In this AU, Iggy is secretly obsessed with bringing back what once was, ie the cast being close friends. ) attempt to bring the cast together and to make them get along under a pressured situation; this, of course, backfires spectacularly

That being said, that is mostly the extent to which my ideas have currently thought about this. That and the dilemma whether to draw a parallel between Swansea and Bucks(Axe) or Swansea and Genzou(vibes+only plus size character in a cast of 5), or both, or not at all. I’ll probably build on this, or maybe I won’t. Maybe if I like, feel especially inspired I might try my hand at writing a small fic of this on AO3 if the very idea doesn’t get me publically executed/exhaggeration

don’t count on it though

Actually is there like ANYONE in the ow fandom who would be interested in this(I would ask the Mouthwashing fandom but like, to be quite honest, aside from the main plot of being stranded on a space ship and the very few character parallels that may crop up, there isn’t going to be all that much Mouthwashing in this)

Additional notes:

Character personalities somewhat flip: Genzou closes off due to his insecurities/oh shit fuck I’m gonna die I can’t afford to be a dick in my last days I might aswell not interact with anyone at all->Orlam gets a bit of peace from Genzou and the enchroaching doom of the situation actually makes him kinder then he would usually be(though I’m also thinking of a possible parallel to arc 3 somewhere along the line maybe)->it’s actually Gidget who looses their temper most, actually being around the same people all the time causes their little miss perfect facade to crumble under the pressure

Idfk what to do with Bucks yet, but I think I wanna like, make her reason for going on the ship in the first place an allegory to her running away from unwanted motherhood like pre-wonderland drinking was like for her. This would then have to take place slightly later than wonderland would take place, as Saydie would have to be independent from her enough to be left alone for that half a year. I’m thinking like atleast 1 year old Saydie, then. Idk might move it even further and make it like toddler Saydie if plot needs her idk

hi!! very excited about your next batch! but i was wondering if you ever think of posting some of the (wonderful) female!mav scenes you wrote (the question mark on my computer decided to stop working but this is indeed a question)

have a great weekend!!

yeah sure! again— this isn’t finished and never will be finished, I posted the reasons below. But here are a bunch of snippets from the fem!mav/lesbian charliemav AU from this summer. Would love to hear your thoughts, because politically it gave me some pause! lol.

1. On how mav survives (the central motif of the one-shot is Mav cutting her hair with scissors which is why the emphasis here)

2. On ice (straight icemav will never work because fundamentally ice is a misogynistic cunt)

3. on sex with girly girls (one of life’s greatest pleasures)

ehhh you get the picture of what’s under the cut

4. on charliemav

5. on charlie

7. The end (post Layton mission [mav proving herself by saving ice’s life] and the end of TG86, Mav gearing up to cut her hair again in Charlie’s house)

and here, copy-pasted, were the tags i planned to affix to the charliemav one-shot, which I think explain also why I stopped writing it—maverick is insanely out of character here!

“some discussion of issues that would affect a female pilot in the 1980s in this one: SA, sexism, etc. u have been warned / i would love to talk to anyone about the politics of this one cause hoo boy i had to think about it / it’s a little personal to me too / i wouldn’t necessarily say i struggle with my gender identity but i do have a really complicated relationship with it / i think this mav is incredibly out of character / it turns out mav’s thoughtless overperformance of masculinity is so ingrained into his character that / if you make it intentional he/she turns into an entirely different character. / i often struggle with writing maverick way way too bitter (there’s something very gentle about tgm mav I struggle replicating) / & this is a VERY bitter & cynical & calculating mav as well. she has to be. But i fear i lose some of mav’s original character in the cynicism. 🤷🏽‍♀️ / that’s why i struggle writing AUs—you lose so much of the original characters who are DEFINED by the stories they’re from / if that makes sense. / i think a female maverick isn’t maverick. / you might as well be writing original fiction at that point. / this 1 shot is pretty much just original fiction. / idk would love to hear ppls thoughts on the fandom philosophy behind AUs / something i would love to think about more / top gun fanfiction / charlotte charlie Blackwood / pete maverick mitchell / Tom iceman kazansky/ nick goose bradshaw / genderbent top gun / charliemav / in this universe mav and Charlie break up and mav gets back together with Penny according to the tgm timeline btw / TGM mav might as well be a lesbian like nothing really has to change in the script at all. / post 2010 tom cruise just gives lesbian. no change necessary / soundtrack for this one is ‘I have a woman inside my soul’ by yoko ono”

I also stopped writing this one because I could not for the life of me figure out how to write goose, canonically a sexist just like mav and ice. made things difficult and a little awkward

[unnonexistence]

idk if there's anything in stories i get more petty about than poorly-written "main character shows up to a new place and meets everyone" character introduction scenes

[cryptiddeer]

People who pilot those big fuck-off Godzilla fighting Mechs have a tenuous and weird relationship with their humanity and independence + supernatural twins tropes + my brains complete inability to shut the fuck up about hoyoverse games = a brand new fucked up au for me to chew on

fragment of a partially written “what if Evan went through with the magic-exorcism and had his memory of Gowpenny erased?” fic -- specifically a scene in which Jammer/K/Sam track him down to some middle-of-nowhere rest stop in order to meet him again
