Honestly there's no one I'd rather be on a forced saving-the-world road trip with than the origins gang. Sorry kotor companions sorry bg3 companions but no one does it like the origins gang. They are a family they are insane they are not to be fucked with they never would have been friends if they were given a choice in the matter. The perfect road trip squad.
They consist of the best dog in thedas, the worlds most royal himbo, a demi-god shapeshifting witch, a bisexual assassin nun, a bisexual assassin orphan, a powerful spell-slinging grandma living on borrowed time (who is bffs with a spirit), a giant spy man who doesn't know how to function by himself, the worlds grossest dwarf, and a giant statue that has a life goal to kill all birds.

Red Robin Au where after Battle for the Cowl, Jason (instead of donning that ridiculous pill helmet) goes back to visit Talia and blow off some steam with the LOA; it's an effective way to do so at first, as long as he keeps Ra's at arms length and has all the Bats away from him. Except is that Timothy fucking Drake working with Ra's al Ghul.
So now Jason's like oh my god are you kidding me why is Tim here working with Ra's of all people??? Last he checked, Dick was Batman now and Tim was part of that gaggle of Robins in Gotham. Not here, in Nanda Parbat.
Tim, fresh from a splenectomy: Jason?!
Jason: What the fuck are you doing here?
Tim: ??? I could ask you the same question??
Jason: No the fuck you couldn't?? I trained with Talia and now I'm back here for a bit, and I'm not the one missing an organ right now?! Why aren't you back with Dickbat in Gotham??
Tim: Well. Let's say I'm not Robin anymore
Jason: ... Not... Robin?
Tim, scowling: Dick gave it to Damian.
Jason: Dick is Batman for like a month and already gave the traffic light leggings to a mini assassin? Nice.
Tim: Ugh
Jason: And... this was enough reason to run away and get impaled by assassins in Iraq? While working with Ra's al Ghul?
Tim: Well, not really. I need to find Bruce, and Ra's is the only one who will help me. Even if he's a freak of nature.
Jason: Bruce... are we talkin' about another Bruce or did I miss a memo? Bruce is dead, Timbo.
Tim: He's not. He's trapped in the timestream and trying to get back. And don't- don't tell me I'm going insane with grief or in denial. Laugh all you want, then leave. I don't need this shit again.
Jason: Trapped in time? Damn motherfucker can't even stay dead?
Tim: ... You believe me?
Jason: Sure. Not the craziest shit we've seen. I have a feeling you wouldn't go as far as Ra's if you were actually going off nothing. (mumbling) stealing my schtick. What a bastard.
Tim, blinking: Wow. That... just wow. That was easy. Dick thought I was losing it with grief and so has everyone else.
Jason, shrugging: B is definitely stubborn enough to get lost in time instead of dying and, frankly, I know what being off yer rocker looks like, and this ain't it. I climbed out of my grave, for god's sake, is time shit really off the table? Wouldn't hurt t'look if the old man's still kickin'.
Tim: Uh-
Jason: First stop: away from Ra's, preferably. Talia's not bad, but Ra's is a whole other can of worms. Get up or I drag you.

the pandora hearts au as promised LOLL
im gonna guess this au makes 0 fucking sense unless u’ve read ph but u can read my 4am summary under goodluck
its the glen and child of ill omen situation between mykr, with kuros red eyes it was honestly kind of perfect. they were all part of this fancy victorian academy, and are known as the class that mysteriously disappeared some hundred years ago, and its bc of nana. maya does the succession thing and tosses clau into the abyss and everything falls apart. nana is devastated and pulls a xerxes to get an audience with the will of the abyss. she creates for her a chain, the Prince, that lets her rewind back to the day of the succession, and drag all of her classmates into a dimension where time rewinds from the start of the yr to the succession. naturally at somepoint hikaris like “where is my childhood bestie karen :(” and she goes looking for her. and before long she’s able to infriltrate into nana’s dimension. shit goes down from there
im thinking like they eventually do all get out of the dimension, but at the cost of maya staying behind. mykr have this ouughgg super dramatic like “I find you again, promise you’ll wait for me” parting while claudine is getting dragged towards the light and everythings crumbling around them and maya just looks up at her super emo and promises. they land back in the normal world a few hundred years into the future, and then its claudines Get her gf back quest

pla was like hey what if you got sent back in time to a world where a bunch of people hate you for existing and think you must be evil and force you to perform herculean tasks daily just to be tolerated except there’s this one guy who seems to genuinely like you and he thinks it’s really cool that you’re an outsider from another world and he’s there for you in your worst moment when no one else is brave enough to help and then later after it’s all been resolved you find out that this entire mess was his fault in the first place he’s the reason that you’re here he’s the reason that the world was ending and you got blamed for all of that and he turns on you suddenly and reveals he was just using you to achieve his own selfish goal and after you put a stop to him he curses you for being an outsider sent here just to stop him and now suddenly he genuinely hates you more than anyone else because it has dawned on him that you are the epitome of all that he wishes he could be

some thoughts on Hydro Archon
now that we have the first fontaine teaser and that the song évidemment (the song from France on eurovision this year) is stuck in my head on repeat
I come back to thinking about Focalors and what they're like. I have so many thoughts; I can't wait to see her.
Because she is the Hydro Archon, I think we might kinda-sorta predict her behaviour based on other Hydro wielders (can be both genuinely soft and stern when needed, might be a bit of a menace for the sake of fun).
I want her to be a reflection of a phrase "still waters run deep". On a surface, she might seem as a great&mighty archon. People love her, she is respected by her court, she knows the value of her own power and how to put it to use, she lives a life anyone could dream of [with the Archon loving the court drama this might as well be true]. On the other hand, I want her to... kinda hate it all. Quite possibly because she is overflowing with power compared to everyone else, because she has a responsibility of upholding Justice not only in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of the Heavens. She probably has to fill quite big shoes after the loss of the previous Archon (bonus points if she knew the previous Archon personally and saw them as her mentor figure), but she kinda fails to do it (the Oceanids leave).
Is she scared of anymore failures? Is she afraid of judgement being bestowed upon her, even though she seems to be willing to accept it? ("[The laws and the Tribunal] can judge even me.") Is she scared of not being enough for her people, for the Heavens? Whose approval as a god would she want to receive more? Does she see any true value in the concept of Justice? How does she uphold it?
She is so interesting to me, I can't wait to see her~
P.S. AND ALSO YES why I bring up évidemment:
"Évidemment
Toutes ces belles promesses que j'entends
C'n'est que du vent
Évidemment
Car après l'beau temps vient la pluie
C'est c'qu'on oublie
C'est toujours trop beau pour être vrai
Mais c'n'est jamais trop laid pour être faux
//
Evidently
All these beautiful promises I'm hearing
It's nothing but wind
Evidently
'Cause after the sun comes the rain
That's what we forget
It's always too good to be true
But it's never too bad to be false"
To me this is a very. Very Focalors speaking to the traveler (about the Heavens) vibe hehe
P.P.S. Also i think the recent artifact set was metaphorically about... the Hydro Archon and the First Hydro Archon??? I don't remember it clearly now but that's the source of my "Current Hydro Archon might miss the Previous Hydro Archon" vibes (I also might have completely misread the source lol)

I've been claiming for so long that I'm an Apollo kid, and yesterday I was talking with my bf (who's new to the fandom), and I told him "no, yeah, you'd be an Ares kid, you live sports, I mean, you do boxing. But I'm an Apollo kid," and he just looked at me like 🥸
And told me, "No. No, you're an Athena kid. You literally love to learn shit, even if it's stupid or not useful. When we first met, you ranted to me for a full half hour on how linguistics works around the world," and now I'm in crisis bc I wanted to be an Apollo kid so bad and at the same time I'm like "I've found my cabin, at last,"
I just wanted to rant, I'm so sorry
this is COMPLETELY fine do not apologize at all as someone who thought she was a daughter of apollo for FIVE WHOLE YEARS !!!!!! 😭😭😭 before giselle made me realize i am actually a daughter of demeter i totally get this 😭 literally decided i’m a legacy of his because i still refuse let this man out of my grip sorry i’m emotionally attached 11 year old me would hate me rn for leaving cabin 7 😣
but omg it’s acc so cute how ur bf knows u so well he’s able to immediately pinpoint ur cabin like that ☹️ and i fear from his description he is actually right LMAO 😭😭 i feel like the #1 tell for an athena kid is loving to learn stuff whether useful or not because a lot of people like studying and learning in an academic setting but it’s only the people who seek it outside of school/for no reason other than genuine interest that r athena kids imo!!
(and ps ares kid x athena kid is one of my FAVE couple combos i feel like it’d be so cute actually 😁)

Do you think moon takes slugcat friends along with her in the off the string au?
I'm picturing her trying to argue with tarrows while also trying to stay quiet because there's like 6 slugpups sleeping on her lap.
maybe, dunno. i don't,, really care about the slugcats unless a situation with them is funny
also y'all need to stop assuming Tarrows is gon stick for arguing with Anybody least of all Moon, fuck that shit. she's leaving the room and setting up a camp under Boreas' chlamys she doesn't want to have anything to do with a confrontantion especially with some aggressive mean stranger bigger and stronger than her
