my favorite bingqiu fic idea i’ll never get around to writing is a no transmigration au where shen yuan was born as shen jiu’s older twin brother who died at the qiu estate, but shen jiu somehow managed to capture his soul so some of shen jiu’s rocky cultivation is that he’s trying to further his own cultivation while also preserving/repairing shen yuan’s soul. shen yuan finally reforms when shen jiu and liu qingge are in the spirit caves before sha hualing’s invasion, so he would be 15/16 at the same time that binghe is 15. so he’s shen jiu’s older brother AND his twin AND much younger than he is AND insists on calling binghe his luo-shixiong to shen jiu’s increasing dismay

#scum villain #svss #bingqiu #shen jiu #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #luo binghe #for clarification the idea is that it's a canon divergence from pidw #so like in pidw timeline the confrontation between lqg and sj goes poorly lqg dies and sy's soul dissipates #whereas here it goes well lqg is alive and sy is resurrected #sy has no knowledge of what happened in the intervening years. this will become a conflict #sy is deep in his gremlin era and also obviously traumatized/not the spoiled young master the peak lords assumed of sj #that combined with saving lqg from his qi deviation bridges some of the gap between sj and the other lords #though im not sure what kind of impact it would have on the tension between sj and yqy #sj used an extreme method to capture and nurture sy's soul which would raise a lot of uncomfortable questions #so anyone who is not a peak lord is led to believe sy is his estranged younger brother or illegitimate son #meanwhile sy has an innate fondness for lbh and doesn't understand sj's hatred for him. this will become a conflict almost immediately #lbh is nervous about sy at first but sy is savvy and nice to him and lbh quickly latches onto his sticky shidi #the immortal alliance conference plays out basically the same way with the addition of sj rationalizes it as protecting his brother from lbh #sy does NOT witness this and has no idea about lbh being a demon or sj's part in his 'death' #and spends the next three years sincerely mourning lbh. this will become a conflict later #so overall sj is still a terrible person but there's room to explore that and let him grow #like forcing him to confront the fact that he's repeating the actions of people he hated and maybe understanding that lbh (and even sy) #would be justified to hate him and not forgive him for everything he's done #though i think sy eventually would and sj and lbh would have a painful reconciliation #for spice you can throw in sy accidentally freeing tlj as per scum villain canon #and maybe the sowers accusation still happens with the added element of sy/sj identity confusion #& the appearance of qht pushes the sy identity reveal #sy is more willing to tell qht the truth about her brother than sj was in pidw #possibly this reopening of old wounds sours the sy/lbh reunion

ever since i learned that the guy who wrote breaking bad was raised catholic every single thing about that show has made sense. show about guys who either exercise Pride or exercise Contrition and their success doesn't exactly hinge on it but the state of their souls does . sometimes Contrition is another form of Pride though so watch out

#jesse jimmy and kim for example exercise sometimes too much contrition to the point where it loops back around to self-centered-ness #BUT the point is that they are constantly wearing hairshirts so they dont die and have a chance at Salvation #walt and gus for example are very proud but they wear it differently. gus's pride masks grief and so he dies at the height of his power #his sins lead to punishment BUT his virtues such as they are ensure glory simultaneously #walt's pride is just pride all the way down so punishment begins for him in the form of losing everything he is proud of Having #and the central question there is what if anything will it take to push him toward contrition? the answer is nothing can do that #BUT because he is so single-minded and pure in his purpose (purity here not equaling goodness just. purity of focus) #he gets to Get Away . he dies before he is captured surrounded by his life's work: 'they're too late. he got away' #thus keeping the legend going (as the devil often wins in some stories. just to keep the concept alive) #breaking bad #brother waldrip & jessimer synthesizing laudanum

Thinking about Capture the Flag in the alive Ta 5 au

Ethan, who never got to go at people without heavy armour, is taking full advantage of the situation despite the fact he is injured from falling 600 floors down. People are scrambling to get the Nemesis cabin on their side.

Silena, who taught herself charmspeak even though she didn't have the ability is a force to be reckoned with. Oh, and she has a spear.

Alabaster got dragged back to Chb kicking and screaming by Luke. The moment he sees Percy it's on sight. Capture the flag and counselor meetings are a mess thanks to him<3

#Chris is cheering Silena Clarisse and Beckendorf(yes he is alive) #Luke got banned. That’s it. He got banned from participating. #People are tracking Al down at least 4 times a week so he can turn Percy back from being a polecat #OH AND NOT TO MENTION ETHAN IS THE ONLY PERSON BESIDES ANNABETH TO KNOW PERCY’S ACHILLES HEEL!!! #whoopsies #it's fine he's not going to go and kill him #he just gets a lil competitive in capture the flag that's all #alabaster torrington #chris rodriguez #ethan nakamura #luke castellan #percy jackson #silena beauregard #alive ta 5 au #pjo

Thought of an AU awhile ago where Weatherall n Prilbus somehow manage to survive and team up to enact both their desired revenges against Norman and Skip, didn’t draw anything for it then but saw a recent post in the tags that reminded me of it (op of that post if u see this, I am shaking ur hand rn!!!!!!!!) so here’s a thing! It feels so so unlikely that this would happen in canon but it ALSO feels like some absolute whack sci-fi plot twist that COULD happen ykwim? Some “I AM your father” ass bs LMAO

#my art #described #dimension 20 #dimension 20 a starstruck odyssey #a starstruck odyssey #norman takamori #skip takamori #king prilbus #gust weatherall #gust is cognizant and aware but his physical body is pretty much being kept alive solely by Prilbus. like this is a VERY life or death kind- #-of symbiosis for the two of them. #I also just thematically like the idea of like. Norman and Skip having this symbiotic relationship through a mutual respect and potentially- #-love (platonic or romantic) they have for one another. then gust and Prilbus also have this symbiotic relationship but far more based on a- #-shared violent goal. and both absolutely have intentions to betray the other when their goals have been met. Prilbus thinking he’ll fully- #-take over gust’s body and gust preparing to force Prilbus out of his head (even knowing that could kill him). #just the dichotomy of two symbiotic relationships but one is based on a mutual love and respect and the other is based on mutual violent- #-desires… again something something love prevails something something theme of openness and vulnerability being a sign of strength etc. #but also I love angst. and Norman and Skip being captured and Skip being snatched away from Norman. just putting consistent cold damage on- #-Norman until Skip decides he has to leave because he doesn’t want Norman to keep getting hurt trying to protect him… #Skip being scared and cold and alone again. but at least Norman won’t keep being hurt because of him. #honestly this angst doesn’t even specifically pertain to this au. like it could be anyone or anything else doing that. but that’s where it- #-fits in in my head lmao. I am severely off my medication #don’t wanna do class assignments and finals. just wanna think about norm and Skip forever.

The human au is very interesting! Would you do another one? Maybe they get attacked by the deviants and Thena is a bit too late to protect Gil and he gets hurt badly while he saves a kid?

The last thing he remembered was that little girl, standing in the middle of the chaos, looking up at the wall. But whatever they were fighting out there was big.

Gil was forbidden from leaving the gates when they were under attack, even to help get people inside. Partially by Ajak's order and strongly enforced by Thena, it was simply too dangerous for him to be out there.

He was as good as human, now.

He had run over to the girl, protecting her with his own body as a section of wall crumbled from the outside in. Human or not, he was still bigger than she was, and he could still protect humans, even if he was one.

"What happened?"

"You saved a young child," Ajak smiled down at him. She must have healed him, because the pain in his body was screaming.

"Some of the wall fell around and," Sersi grimaced, "on you."

"Don't worry, pal, the kid's fine," Kingo reassured.

Gil's eyes moved around them all. He could even see Druig and Ikaris on the outskirts of their little group. He groaned, "Thena?"

Looks were traded. Ajak looked behind her and nodded her head before looking down at him again. "You should rest, Gilgamesh."

The rest of the Eternals took their leave, leaving the Warrior Eternal to take their place to be the one and only in his vision. He looked up at her, trying to read the expression - or lack thereof - on her face.

"Are you in pain?"

Yes, he was in agony. He blinked at her, "not bad."

Still, she just stared at him, "you lie."

He watched as she moved around Phastos' examination table. He grunted as he tried to sit himself up, "that makes two of us."

"Gil," she put her hand to his chest.

He huffed, flopping back down again. He would have smacked his head on the table if not for her hand cradling the back of it. "Please?"

Thena kept her hand pressed on his chest, but did eventually move one to his back to help him up. "You must move gently. You were gravely injured, Gilgamesh."

He winced as his body took on its own weight again. "I don't remember."

"Perhaps because the gravity of your injury is blocking your memory."

He looked up at her. That eerily still expression was gone but it was replaced with an even worse on. "You're mad at me?"

"Do not trivialise this, Gilgamesh," she scowled at him. He did have to consider himself lucky. If he were anyone else he would be getting a lot more hell than just this. "You were nearer death than I have ever seen you."

He attempted a smile, "I saved that kid, right?"

Thena looked away. She had no argument to that, nor would she shame him for it, no matter her feelings on the issue. Her approach changed direction, "you were told to stay within the walls."

"I was, technically," he pointed out, not that it was helping his case.

She glared at him, "Gilgamesh."

"Hey, I'm the one injured here," he countered, but that just worsened things again. Her fists clenched and she leaned on the edge of the table. He frowned, "Thena?"

"I cannot be in two places at once," she conceded, and it sounded like she deeply and truly resented having to admit such a reality. She finally looked at him, eyes screaming what she could not. "There is only so much I can do to protect you."

Gil sighed, although his broken and then healed ribs protested. "You're protecting me day in and day out, already."

"Does that displease you?"

"I'm not saying that," he cut in quickly. He held out his hand, and was relieved when it seemed that this at least remained the same for them. He brought it to his lips. "How do we make this work?"

Thena bent herself to kiss his lips this time, gentle in a way that made them both want to cry.

"I can't go on like I'm made of glass," he stated aloud that which everyone had been avoiding saying. "And you know it."

"And what would you have me do?" she whispered, locking their fingers together. "Allow you to walk into harm's way when you are mortal?--something you would never allow to happen to me if I were in your place?"

She used that argument often. And she was right; if she had mysteriously turned human overnight he would nary let her out of his sight, let alone onto the battlefield.

And keeping her from fighting would hurt something inside of her, no matter how safe he kept her.

Thena touched her forehead to his, "I know you want to help."

"I can't do nothing, Thena."

"Of course not," she accepted, deeply saddened by his happy declaration. "But I will not watch you die, either."

Gil ran his hand over her cheek. It felt the same, even if he had no Cosmic Energy under his skin. He could still feel hers, though, as if rising to just under her skin, calling out to him. "I promise you won't."

Normally she would scold him for making a promise over which he held so little control. Now, all she did was lean into his touch. "I was too late, today. If that happens again-"

"It won't." Now he was just lying to her. But he tipped her lips to his again. "Hey."

She indulged him, looking into his eyes with her green ones.

"Y'know," he murmured, "this doesn't have an end in sight. Are you really ready to face...what if I never-"

Thena placed her finger upon his lips, then her own lips. She smiled, "am I prepared to have a human for a partner, you mean?"

He blushed.

She inhaled against his cheek. This was the most she had touched him in weeks. "If it's you."

#Thenamesh Human AU #I hope you like it! #poor Gil #we put him through so much #but really #he wouldn't be able to stop helping people #not if his life depended on it #which... #Everyday Thena asks Phastos and Ajak what progress they're making #and every day they give her bad news which is no news #Gil: everyday I wake up #the rest of the team are cautious #but they're slowly getting more used to it #Thena goes out looking for more Deviants with that ability #capture one alive or dead she'll bring it back to be studied #in the mean time she's like careful of my human husband he's delicate

Me when I play RDR1 10+ years after it came out (and after playing RDR2) and do the Javier quest for the first time:

#playing rdr1 with the knowledge gained from rdr2 makes the game so much sadder #me almost in tears after shooting javier off his horse bc i can't capture him alive to let him be hanged that would be so much worse #no i'm completely nORMAL about this leave me alone #rdr1 #red dead redemption #rdr #javier escuella

You know here I was thinking to myself Crocodile would have no fucking way in a million years to get Pluton, because to get Pluton Momonosuke would have to order Zunesha to open Wano, and Momo would never just let Crocodile have the weapon, plus there's no way Crocodile could actually find out Pluton is in Wano

But actually

Some people have been wondering if the person Caribou is working for is actually Crocodile. Since last we saw Caribou, he mentioned he needed to let "that person" know about Pluton's location

Like I still feel a bit doubtful the person Caribou is talking about is Crocodile?? Like I'm not sure Croc would employ such a nasty bastard?? But also all Crocodile does give a shit about is whether or not the guy gets the job done so??? (But also not only does Caribou ALSO have a Logia DF but also a Quite Moist One at that, and IDK I feel like that could be a disadvantageous "underling" for Crocodile to have considdering the moisture is like His One Weakness?? IDK)

But the only other person (as far as known-characters go) I could see Caribou having ties with is Blackbeard but IDK if BB would be interested in getting Pluton in his hands? Though god knows BB is a wild card, who the fuck knows what his next move is. (I don't really think BB cares about getting One Piece either, like all we really know is that he wants Fullalead to become a part of the World Government as a proper country) But one of his ships has just arrived at Egghead, which means if Caribou was allied with Blackbeard, this would give Caribou a very quick and easy way to report back to his boss?

But the other thing is; Buggy wants to get One Piece. Buggy might actually be aware of how they need the Road Poneglyphs to find it. Even if he doesn't have them yet, with Big Mom gone they could probably get the one from Whole Cake Island pretty easily right now

But more importantly

Because Buggy was on Roger's ship

Buggy knows the Minks and he knew Oden

Buggy unironically actually has the connections to access the Poneglyphs from Zou and Wano

And god fucking knows, if Buggy is dragging Mihawk and Crocodile to Wano anyways, and if Crocodile found out about Pluton being there--

Good dear god, what kind of fucking chaos are we in for y'all

My only Side Note to this idea is that, if either Blackbeard or Cross Guild is going to head to Wano to get Pluton (or hell, why not both, Buggy could head there just for the Poneglyph and they could just run into Blackbeard wrecking havoc trying to get it for himself and CG could just find out that way), regardless it would result in either

A) Someone actually obtaining Pluton

B) The Strawhats finding out about someone going after Pluton and heading back to Wano to stop it (god knows Luffy and Robin wouldn't want neither BB or Croc to have it)

But considdering the Strawhats JUST LEFT WANO I can't imagine them going IMMIDIATELY BACK either

So???

#Moon posting #OP Spoilers #OP Meta #Praying to god Caribou is under Blackbeard and that Buggy is gonna Skedaddle without Croc and Mihawk #Regardless we just spent A Bajillon Years in Wano I don't want Stuff to happen there again SO SOON #Of course even if Crocodile found out about Pluton being in Wano-- he'd still have to convince Momonosuke to reveal it #And yeah he's easily cruel enough to be able to possibly force Momonosuke to reveal it (kid's still a kid) #IDK if Yamato and Momo would be strong enough to fight off Croc and Mihawk right now. Esp since we don't know Croc's Power Level #I think a clash between BB and CG could be interesting though like. I could be interested in seeing that #Especially since Blackbeard wants powerful DFs and Crocodile does have one #If Mihawk betrayed him and Buggy skedaddled that could leave Crocodile just absolutely fucked bro #And. You know. If Crocodad real. And the guy got Crocnapped by BB. And Luffy found out about his other dad. #IDK where that would go but sure as fuck would be interesting #ALSO it would be EXTRA INTERESTING *if* Garp is alive and also captured by Blackbeard #DOUBLE RESCUE MISSION

late night thoughts are like. What does MDZS use as a law system. Like we know that Xue Yang was supposed to be punished by the Jin Sect because he was the guest cultivator there, right? But what about the cultivation crimes committed by human cultivators who just. Do not belong to any sects. Like what does the so called Jiang Cheng's thing of torturing demonic cultivators do. Like do they just disappear into the ether or sth? Does Sandu Sengshou grab the demonic cultivator and yell at them for not being his shixiong???? What????

#like 2/ha has the Tianyin Pavilion. I am not sure what mdzs is supposed to have #(this post is half a joke because like. ik for a fact that the world building technically doesn't require it. But it's so funny and #frustrating to write a fanfic regarding cultivation world murder crimes when things are just Like That. Because we know that the sects are #responsible for their own disciples but other sects do tend to cause trouble and may exert pressure at times (see: wwx and xy) #and we also do not know what the heck would have happened to jgy if he had been captured alive at the guanyin temple. Because like. Is JL #(as the next sect leader) going to punish him? Must be traumatizing as fuck for sure. #like yes mdzs is specifically set in a world where you are like. Not SUPPOSED to worry about cultivator on cultivator crimes. It's like #a HORRIFYING thing to happen and the kids clearly weren't prepared for it in WWX's generation from the looks of it. But is it really that #uncommon? And even if we take that at face value—surely JGY must have done SOMETHING after becoming cc? Right? Right????!) #kk's rambles tag
