i think it’s hilarious that kuroo is labeled by the fandom as a sex god when he’s THE most average guy. he was the guy in middle school who was kinda ugly but suuuuper personable, played a few sports but excelled at none, and ate dry oatmeal in the back of class. his first years of high school, he became average-looking but was still super irrelevant because he did nothing but volleyball and school work, and in that order. he finally gains a small reputation of being fine in his last years of high school. still only does volleyball and school work (in that order), but his name is known amongst the underclassmen for being funny and good looking. he sits in the back of your ap science class, eating dry oatmeal from the pack. sometimes, he roasts the teacher’s outfit or comments sarcastically on the homework. i really think he’s just a smart jock in school.

Remember when they stole a tank in Six of Crows?
I have not seen enough people talking about that one scene in Six of Crows where Inej, Jesper, and Wylan steal a tank. It is probably my favorite scene in the entire book and I am going to talk about it.
The chaos. The gremlin-ness of all of them. Jesper being so excited to drive the tank. Wylan and Inej manning the turret and laughing their asses off. The tank dragging a dirty, soot-stained banner that says “Fjerdan might” behind it. The poetic revelry and beauty that they all see in the complete and utter destruction they leave in their wake.
The way Nina, Matthias, and Kaz react when they see the tank. Nina starts shouting for joy. Matthias is in so much shock he just does not speak for a minute. Kaz is, and I quote, “grinning like an idiot,” which is one of the only times we see him really truly smile, and it’s an enormous, insane, excited grin. Kaz immediately denies being happy at all and keeps grinning at the tank.
Inej and Wylan popping out of the top and waving to them before blowing up the bridge.
Plus, this is one of the only times we see these characters laugh so much and be so overtly joyful. Wylan laughs so hard his stomach hurts. Kaz is grinning like a little kid. Inej has just bested her abuser and is riding the high of that and of firing a massive gun with Wylan.
And it gives us little snippets of dynamics that aren't focused on as much, like Kaz and Matthias or Inej and Wylan.
Truly one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and fun moments in the entire duology. It’s right up there with Kaz and Wylan crashing through Van Eck’s ceiling and onto a full dinner table to escape the guards, in my opinion.
Anyway I love this scene and we should talk about it more. 1000/10, will continue to re-read forever

My Good Omens fanfictions are kicking off. Or, should I say, Lady Crowley is. In one of the stories, she was supposed to end up with Hastur. No, she decided she wants to be with Michael.
I guess, I'll need to come up with a seperate F!Crowley x Hastur storyline, because I'm not letting go of that ship.
F!Crowley x Michael... I like the sound of that. I really do.
Has happened to all of us, hasn't it? Your superior in the military waltzes in, and seduces the love of your life. Not to mention, that's his pregnant girlfriend, and when he finds out, it's too late.
Whatever, Calla Crowley can still end up an astronomy-obsessed, equestrian pastel goth, if General of the Heavenly Host is her stepmother.
I must say... In one story she's with Satan, in the other she'll be with Michael... Lady Crowley, honey, you keep pulling the Olympians. Good for you.
P.S. - I don't know how accurately to Good Omens I'll portray Michael, since I haven't seen season 2, and it doesn't matter. I have a very particular way I like to see the figure. Honestly, if she isn't the General, and the leader of angels in Good Omens, it's a crime. Because, if she is, why haven't I seen her in armour/uniform in any of the screencaps?.. Either way, her version I intend to paint is amazing.

Lastly!! Is Billy Showalter PaperBoy, he’s snarky and kinda sarcastic but damn that boy can deliver newspapers!
(Also, I read on his missing poster that he was blond and though it was the blood/ darkness of the basement that made his hair dark but after I finished everything, and looked back at the alive photos of P.B. I realized it was more brownish so in the future P.B. Will have more brownish hair! )
But P.B.!!! In this au PB is snarky and kind of sarcastic about a lot of things, he’s still a paperboy though, a paperboy who refuses to go on runs alone but a paperboy nonetheless.
In this PB kept his jacket from his murder, they got it dry cleaned and everything but they couldn’t fix the tears in the fabric so Finn mended them, putting a little “Showalter” and a “Denver Zephyr’s” because PB though it would be cool to have. Also because I think PB would also really like sports, because I headcannon his dad to be a sports fan and so by proxy he is!
PB in general is kinda sporty and active, using physical activity like running and riding his bike in no particular place other than to feel his legs get tired, it distracts him. I also think PB is a really good hunter and has shot himself a few deer and is very proud of it!
PB, also is self conscious of his scars since his, like Bruce, scared his cheek and upper neck. He tries to cover it with his hair but sometimes he can’t help but want to cover himself all together. PB also cannot stand to wear belts, he hates them, can’t even stand the sight of them. They make him fidgety and more likely to trigger his fight or flight, which is why a lot of the boys undo their shirts if he’s around.
I haven’t really though much of Billy but I think he’d get along best with Finn and Bruce because he can relate to them with sports.

I know there are so many dynamics with Camila that we won't get or if we do they'll be extremely brief, and I genuinely lament all of them, but one I think would be so fucking funny is her & Eberwolf
Like, come on! Look me in the eyes and tell me it wouldn't be hilarious!
Camila is a veterinarian who canonically loves & is fiercely defensive of animals, even the "unlikeable" ones. You're telling me she wouldn't take one look at Eber and go "Aw, what a cute cat friend :)" only for Luz to be like "Oh yeah, the Beastkeeping Coven Head, he's one of the cool ones that helped with the rebellion! He chewed through my handcuffs once!"
The following whiplash this poor woman goes through would be astounding.
"Wait a Coven Head?? You mean those managers of the covens Hunter worked with?? -- Wait CHEWED through METAL? -- WAIT HANDCUFFS??? MIJA WHY WERE YOU HANDCUFFED?!?"
Now imagine how much worse it'd all be if she saw Eber's teeth & claws look. Go from "Aw how cute :)" to "dear god wtf is that?!" real fast. Bonus is Eber's sense of humor is to be a bit of a bastard, so like, he would overhear Camila mutter something about him being cute, then he'd flash his fangs intentionally & laugh when she screamed.
Long story short, Camila is a veterinarian who loves animals & keeps a fossilized snake skin in a frame by her bed because Luz gave it to her, and Eberwolf is an exceptionally strange creacher of the Boiling Isles who looks like a cute bipedal hybrid between a kid & a fennec fox and doesn't speak with words. Where demons like Hooty would be horrific immediately & endlessly, Eber would initially appear cute & approachable only to steadily become more horrific with each revelation of his character.
I just think the veterinarian who loves animals & the beastkeeping beast demon would have some common ground yknow. After the initial hilarious introduction I mean

i need to know everything about your pjo voltron au
okay so basic plot premise: Thalia, Luke, Jason, Percy, Maria di Angelo, and Bianca all work at the Garrison and get sent on 3 separate missions (Thalia & Luke, Jason & ??? or maybe he's just by himself, then Percy & Maria & Bianca) which are all "lost" and they're declared dead by the Garrison.
Of course they were actually all abducted by aliens. Maria probably dies pretty early on in that whole situation. Thalia gets separated from Luke and ends up escaping and becoming a rebel. Luke, Jason, and Percy & Bianca all separately (except for Percy & Bianca) end up gladiators. Luke becomes The Champion and basically ends up a Kuron/Sendak-type character situation. Is he being mind-controlled? Unclear. He has a giant alien scythe-sword though. Bianca probably dies buying Percy time in the arena. At some point Percy and Jason find each other and decide to try and stick together.
Hazel is a human raised by her galra dad in space with the Blade of Marmora. She knows she has a half-brother through her dad out there somewhere but not anything else about him. She ends up running into Jason and Percy on a mission and helps them escape cause they're humans too.
Back on Earth, Piper, Leo, and Annabeth are all Garrison students. Or Annabeth is possibly in a Keith-type situation where she used to be a student but got Kinda Pissed Off about all her loved ones disappearing into space and ended up getting kicked out. Nico is in a Pidge-type situation where he snuck in as a student under a false name to figure out what happened to his family's mission. Percy and Jason crash on earth, the gang finds them, they find the Blue Lion, and Percy pilots it to the Altean castleship where they meet Reyna and Frank. Reyna is the Altean Princess, because her sister Hylla was queen. Frank is the son of a high-ranking general or something and he and Reyna are a duo.
Rest going under a cut cause this got long -
Lion adventures happen - Annabeth pilots the Green Lion, Jason pilots the Black Lion. Nico finds the Red Lion and meets Hazel when he does and brings her back to the castle. Hazel pilots the Yellow Lion. Nico very quickly realizes he's half-Galra and Hazel's brother and joins the Blade of Marmora. Percy swaps from Blue to the Red Lion. Piper starts piloting the Blue Lion. Leo, Frank, Reyna, and Nico end up the home-base support team. Percy probably keeps the blue paladin armor and Piper gets the spare pink armor for color association reasons and also cause that's usually the format for every iteration of Voltron anyways. It works out nicely. Everybody has extra lion compatibilities too/every Lion has a back-up basically cause I'm still mad vld canon dropped the lion lore/sentience plotlines and we never got cool dynamic lion swapping instead of just the usual single switch. We're having fun here.
Then everything else I don't have much for other than Annabeth and Nico basically swap Keith and Pidge roles once they join Voltron so Nico goes and has his galra identity crisis adventures and Annabeth reunites with Thalia at some point, who is basically in a Matt-type role. And Luke functions as the Sendak-level antagonist who Annabeth probably gets to fight with a swap back to Keith's role in a whole Keith & Kuron emotional situation. Kronos and Gaea are probably analogous to Zarkon and Haggar/Honerva here but not necessarily in that order, and obviously it's more of an either "Emperor and his advisor mom" or "Empress and her prince son" but in either one somebody's doing magic and people are probably getting possessed. Hades, Persephone, Iaepatus/Bob, and Damasen are all with the BoM. The Titans/Giants are probably all Empire generals. Who's Lotor? Octavian? Calypso? I don't know. Who are all the gods? I dunno. We'll workshop it.

anyway dc x dp is my new fixation hell and i've had so many ideas for aus but one that's really sticking with me is a classic "danny has to run away to gotham because his home is no longer safe" au where danny is explicitly looking for other ghosts or at the very least is pulled to gotham because there are so many of them there.
he flies around for a while and finds this manor and he can sense so many nice ghosts! so he just. goes there! and stays! and this can be human danny showing up at their door injured or it can be ghost danny just flying in but regardless, the waynes would never turn him away. bruce would get suspicious absolutely, but he's seen enough traumatized abused kids to know the signs. thomas and martha? they think this new ghost kid is adorable!!
there could be angst sure but idk i love the idea of danny getting hurt by his parents or the giw and being so wary of more humans, and this place full of friendly ghosts would be so enticing. ghosts that don't try to immediately wreck his shit? ghosts that get territorial but are also extremely welcoming and have a habit of letting new kids into their haunt? the batfam who've dealt with the paranormal before and wouldn't give a shit? that's a normal tuesday for them babes. like please, danny just found heaven and it's in gotham.
despite all the "batfam adopts danny" aus i've seen, i rarely see people mention the ghosts of dead family members who would absolutely still be there and would definitely want to help danny :(

So there's this episode of Community where Jack Black guest stars, and his character wants to join the study group. We learn this character was there in their Spanish class the whole time, he was just in background where the camera never focused on him so we, the audience, did not notice and the Study Group was too self-involved to notice.
Anyhow, this is how I picture Daniel in the last two VC books. He's there, he's reacting to things, he's having conversations with Armand and Marius off on the sidelines, but for whatever reason Lestat is leaving that out of the books. Maybe Daniel bribed him! I don't know. But it's funny as hell to think about it happening this way.

When you’re currently working on finishing up one of your many drafts instead of studying for your final, but the catch is you’re writing for a character that’s going to make a majority of the fandom Big Mad(TM).
