okay i’ve only got one more crease with the cornley timeline jump that i need to figure out!

so at the start of the filmed version of ppgw (2016), it implies that they’re all still attending the polytechnic, as it says “they all do a variety of courses during the day, but come together at night to create theatre”.

but since they were all in the polytechnic in 2012 (tptgw), and we know some of them have been there longer than that (eg. robert and annie have been in the cpds for 3 years by haversham manor), this means that all of them have been studying at the polytechnic for 4-8 years. given that most courses only last between 3-4 years, the idea of some of them still being there seems super unbelievable?

i suppose you could justify it like trevor, who just keeps on failing his final year of his course, but it feels hard to believe that all/most of them just kept on failing for so long (no matter how stupid they can be at times). or i suppose it’s also possible that they return to get a second degree or something, but that’s pretty expensive and i don’t think that many of them are super rich (just max, possibly chris?), so i’m not sure how likely that is.

so why are they still with the polytechnic? and even in accgw, they’re still referred to as the cornley polytechnic drama society, so at least some of them must still be there in 2017.

what do we think, are they all just completely hopeless or is there some other explanation for this?

Heey, I LOVE your writings on soft sukuna, you write so beautifully🩷 please can you do one where he is jealous (fluff)😭🩷

Thank you sm for the kind words!!! Here's my best attempt at doing your idea justice <3

Sukuna has no real reason to be jealous. He practically owns you, controls every aspect of your life, who or what could he possibly be jealous of? Every servant who dared approach you in an inappropriate way would be dealt with swiftly. And you're a good pet, who has eyes for no one other than your master. You really don't give him a reason.

But there's this one thing... Since you've been so good and obedient, Sukuna has allowed you many liberties. You're permitted to skip around the mansion, watch Uraume cook, even enjoy little hobbies. You've tried many before you found that crocheting particularly piqued your interest. Ever since you've learned the basics, you've been spending hours working on perfecting your skills. At first it was cute, watching you squint in concentration as you move the hook. But then the math became really simple - having this hobby to keep you busy meant you approached Sukuna out of boredom a lot less. And he noticed it. It irked him, but you're not technically doing anything wrong. You were still as happy to serve him as ever, he just had to ask. But why would he have to ask? You should be all over him on your own. He should have to push you away, not beg you to give him attention. He didn't like this disturbance in your master and pet balance that this little hobby of yours caused.

He stands at the door now. You're crocheting again. You and your favorite servant laugh at your failed creation so sweetly, you don't even notice he's waiting. He clicks his tongue to establish his presence, and your servant falls to her knees immediately. You however, are not held to that high of a standard anymore.

"Master!", you call him, and hop up to greet him with a deep bow. Before he can say anything, you've picked up the piece of fabric you've been working on and ran into his arms to show him.

He looks at the ugly form and scoffs. "This is what I'm sponsoring?", he says and pulls a loose piece of yarn, making your little creation fall apart. He always was a bully, but you note his bad mood.

"I'm only a beginner...", you sulk.

"That much is obvious.", he flicks the yarn away and it falls onto the floor. Before you can bend to pick it up, he seizes your wrist and pulls you back. "Aren't you a little young to waste time with hobbies for the elderly?", he asks. You look at him with your cutest, practiced doe eyes, but it doesn't work.

"Come, pet. I know an activity more suitable for your age.", he says when you don't respond, and steps out of the room. You hop after him, unaffected by his condescending comments. You know that they're just for show. If he really thought you were a hag, you would've been gone a long time ago.

"Sitting at your throne all day?", you tease innocently and join him at his side, sliding your arm underneath one of his. You hope your playfulness will distract him from whatever is bothering him. "Or in a bath?" His lower set of eyes peeks at you and smirks, noticing that you're feeling particularly daring today. He's not sure how he feels about that. "Or in your bed." He rolls his eyes gently and opens the door to his chambers.

"At least then you'd be serving your purpose and actually spending time with your master.", he comments and shuts the door. His comment catches you a bit off guard and you stop in front of his bed. He makes his way towards you, and you look up at him with an insulted expression.

"Master, are you jealous of a ball of yarn?", you ask playfully, and squeal when he suddenly pushes you down to sit on the bed. Now you're at eye level... with his crotch.

"You've got quite a big mouth today. Put it to good use for a change, will you?", he runs his hand from the crown of your head to the back of your neck. You seem to have struck a nerve, so it really is the ball of yarn. Is it possible that Sukuna is this clingy?

"Will you?", he repeats and tugs on your hair and narrows his eyes. You smile obediently and reach behind him to untie his obi.

"Yes Master."

-

You try your best to manage the time you spend crocheting from then on, working on productivity in the hours that you dedicate to developing this skill. And it helps that you have a specific goal in mind now: helping Sukuna realize that this hobby is a friend, not an enemy. He still catches you engaging in it sometimes, and gives you a dirty look, but you're as quick as ever to drop what you're doing and join him. That seems to satisfy him.

When you're finally happy with the result of your creation, you look for Sukuna around the mansion. It's not really that hard to find him, as he frequents three places most of all: the dining room, his bedroom and his throne room. This time, he's sitting on his throne, and a small line of people wait for their turn to be gifted his attention. You on the other hand, don't have to wait in line to get it. His lower set of eyes spots you the moment you enter the chamber. You're allowed to roam the mansion, but barging in unannounced is not standard even for you.

Still, Sukuna has learned that you usually only feel daring enough to cross boundaries when you're sure he'll like what you have in mind. So for now, he will let this slide. He's bored as hell anyways. The people are dismissed and you pass by them on your way to his throne, nestled on a pile of bones. You stop in front of it and greet him with a bow.

"Master, I come to you with a humble offering.", you say with your hands on your thighs and your eyes fixated on the ground.

"Show me.", he says simply, but you recognize entertainment in his voice. You climb up the bones and feel his stare scan you from head to toe, before you sit on his knee.

"May I ask you to close your eyes?", you ask and flutter your lashes. Oh the way you seduce him. Who else could ask Sukuna to do something as dangerous as close his eyes? Give his opponent valuable time to land an attack. Who else could dare? And who else would he ever listen to and really close his eyes? Really do as he's told? Oh how safe he feels with you.

You take one of his large hands into yours, and gently pry his long fingers away to open his palm. He has beautiful hands. The only ones you've ever known, but you're sure they're the most beautiful hands in the world. So dangerous, so elegant. You want to press a kiss to his palm, but you hope your gift will have the same, maybe even more profound effect.

Something soft touches his skin, and then you speak, as politely as before. "You may look.", in your softest voice. And when he opens his eyes, he finds himself looking at you first. You're an offering on your own.

Then he looks at his hand. Two crocheted plush figures resembling him and yourself lay flat on his palm, connected through their holding hands. At first glance, it looks like they're two separate creations. In a sense, they are, but... He tries to part them.

"We're sewn together.", you explain. He hums in amusement and inspects your gift more closely. His plush is bigger, recognizable by the pink hair and four buttons for eyes. It's even wearing his favorite kimono. Yours is smaller and less detailed. You look like any other human when placed next to him, insignificant. But in a sea of pets, entertainers and lovers he's had in the past, he would never fail to recognize it as you.

He's spent so long looking at it with that face of his that you just can't read. You're starting to grow restless in his lap, and he feels your eyes dwell into his soul. When he looks back at you with one pair of eyes, your brows are furrowed in worry and you're fiddling your hands in your lap. He pats you on the head and pulls you closer, so you have no choice but to lean on his frame.

"It's beautiful, darling.", his fingers run through your hair, scraping your scalp softly. "No loose threads either.", he looks at you with all four eyes now, and you feel so small in his arms. You're not used to receiving this many compliments from Sukuna at once. Not ones that weren't directed at your body or performance. Especially not when he's looking at you so tenderly, when every word sounds so loving and genuine. "You've improved so much.", his hand is on your face now, and you catch him glancing at your lips. You part them to start thanking him, but you already know how much he hates listening to that.

You stay quiet instead, and lean closer, letting him take you. And he kisses you so softly, fingertips light against your heated skin. You feel like you're floating, like a lily pad in a warm pond. The littlest gesture of his affection has you melting in his embrace. The power he has over you... and how wonderful it is to surrender yourself to it.

None of the liberties and privileges you've been awarded with compare to this. You know that many pets have walked these halls before you. Many warmed his bed and claimed the title of his favorite. But how many loved him like this? Enough to dedicate time of their day to making intricate gifts. How many could say Sukuna kissed them lovingly, for no other reason than to show gratitude and affection?

You're flushed completely red by the time his lips leave yours. You can't hold the intensity of his gaze, as he stares at you in adoration. "I'm happ.. I'm glad you l-like it...", you stumble through the words and win a giggle out of him. You are just so cute. Like a pet should be. He rubs your head again and pushes you away lightly.

"Go now, the people await me.", he says with a benevolent smile gracing his face. "I'll see you tonight."

You bow to him and leave.

And when you visit him that night, he is as gentle as he was when he kissed you earlier, still in a good mood after your gift. Caressing your hair, shoulders and back, as you lay comfortably with your head on his chest. Keeping you warm in his embrace. You're trying your best to follow the conversation, but sleep is slowly taking over you. Sukuna notices and plants a kiss to your forehead, wishing you goodnight. The last thing you see before your eyes close, is your handcrafted plushies sitting on his nightstand.

I know there's the whole AU of Ulysses being there with Aax when he washes up and the two of them meeting Rae and Ulysses immediately going dad mode on this very sad child, but, what would happen if they met Icarus at any point during that idea? be it with Rae or otherwise - how do you think Ulysses would react to them?

This is a very long answer sorry lol, but I think, completely and honestly, Ulysses would see young Icarus as a threat. Especially at that point in the timeline.

Not a threat that he would ever fight, but certainly a threat he needs to keep himself and Aax far away from. He would be incredibly afraid of the power that young Icarus wields. Because Icarus is not kind. Icarus would rat them out.

We saw in canon that Icarus, as a tween/teenager, is a really mean and shitty kid. Icarus is a bully. The kind of kid who would absolutely hand Ulysses over to the people he’s running from in a heartbeat, if they thought it was what Fable would want. If it would make Fable happy. They probably wouldn’t even spare them a second thought. And I think, especially knowing Rae and then meeting Icarus, Ulysses would pick up on that. He would pick up on the fact that Icarus is not kind to Rae. That Icarus is both a victim of the situation, and part of the problem. That there is no winning over Icarus while Fable is in the picture, because Ulysses could never combat Fable on his own. And trying to help Icarus would quite literally bring the wrath of god down upon him and his child.

While Icarus is certainly in an unhealthy environment too, Ulysses can’t do much to help, because unlike Rae, Icarus doesn’t want to leave. I could be misremembering things, but from what I know, at that point in the timeline, Icarus adores Fable. And treats Rae badly because of it. Ulysses isn’t exactly in a position to separate Icarus from that environment unless they leave willingly. Ulysses wouldn’t be able to trust Icarus the way he would Rae. And I think he hates the fact that he can’t; because it shows how much under Fable’s thumb Icarus already is at that young age, and how fragile Ulysses’ and Perseus’ own safety and existence is when they’re on the run. It’s not Icarus’ fault in any way, but Icarus is too much of a risk for Ulysses to trust. And honestly I think that Icarus would never choose to trust Ulysses in return. Because trusting Ulysses means admitting that Fable is bad. And I don’t think young Icarus would do that.

If it came down to risking the lives of Perseus and Rae in order to show kindness to Icarus? Ulysses wouldn’t take that risk. He wouldn’t let himself take that risk. He would feel awful about not being able to do more to help this child, it would eat away at him, but he would know he couldn’t do more, and why he couldn’t.

Trying to save Icarus would be a gamble in any situation. If it was Ulysses on his own, he would take that gamble. But not if he’s also gambling the lives of not just one, but potentially two young children, who are depending on him for safety. His own life is one thing. He doesn’t care about putting that in the line, especially to save another. But he wouldn’t let himself sacrifice any more innocent lives in the process.

the concept of corinthian being an adversary against the dead boy detectives is OBVIOUSLY something I very much want to see but after a few weeks of thought I have a few notes, the main one being:

what the fuck do they think they’re gonna do against the corinthian

ask nicely? give him therapy? that’d take a shit ton of therapy.

you cannot kill what is not alive, and you cannot kill a multitude of ideas that are held within the minds of humankind. in order to erase corinthian, otherworldly forces would be required to completely eradicate every concept he represents (which, in this case, would include erasing edwin seeing as he is queer and VERY much struggles with it. and you know damn well none of them are going to take that risk). otherwise, the corinthian as a story will remain. he can, however, be uncreated and left dormant by dream, but if that were to happen it would no longer align with the sandman canon. more so fanfic territory than a plausible episode.

there are other ways for a case revolving around the corinthian to be solved; his victims could receive closure just by knowing more about what happened to them, thus being able to move on.

but otherwise they’re shit outta luck

The Boys in the Boat fandom is not ready for my Don fic🤩 you’re not. I’m tellin ya right now, you. Are. Not.

It’s a LIIIIIIITTLE longer than I originally planned on, 6,000+ words and counting BUT, my hopes are that y’all will love it regardless of how long it is! It’s basically romance with a little bit of angst if you squint your peepers real tight but agh!! I’m so excited about it!! I’m even thinking about making it a lil series😏 a series of Don oneshots y’know? His first date, cute little random dates in between, their deep little talks, his proposal, his wedding, you name it! All snuggled into a little series of oneshots🤗

And for the Bobby fans: you’re gonna love it too!! (I hope!!) It BEGINS with Bobby, it has a little mention of Bobby in the middle, and then it ENDS with Bobby. Why? Because it wouldn’t be a TBitB fanfic without our very own favorite lil coxswain😉 Plus I’m a people pleaser and try to keep everyone happy, eheh! Buuuut we won’t talk about that right now

Oh yeah, and I am *very* close to being done with it. Like, as in, should be posed by tomorrow night kinda close😏
