the ta neil au?? I love it!! I keep thinking about andrew sitting in on all of Neil's office hours to death glare at students who come in exclusively to flirt with him

Lol I'm trying to think of how I'd like to write it and part of me thinks it would be endlessly funny to do like an intro and then each of the Foxes coming to office hours and all the different people hitting on Neil while Andrew is just (Knife emoji)

not to be like "if two characters have the same last name they're automatically related" but distant cousins Sam Wilson (MCU) and Hen Wilson (911) is actually so real to me

Past/Current/Next WIP Tag Game

Thanks to the lovely @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag!

Rules: share a past work-in-progress, your current work-in-progress, and the work-in-progress you want to work on next.

Past

I have so many abandoned WIPs lol. The one that got the most development though was a science fiction series titled The Earths Beyond. Essentially, the daughter of a NASA employee who’s on an internship discovers this strange hidden file on a computer while helping clean up. The file, titled The Earths Beyond, contained information on mission logs from centuries’ past of these six planets that colonies were founded on. After centuries, the humans on each planet adapted to their environments and created their own societies. Confused as to why the government would hide such a feat from the public for centuries, our protagonist with a band of friends would hijack the next planned mission and steal a spacecraft to go find these worlds at war thanks to neglect. And then be on the run from the U.S. government.

I only got to part of the world building stage for TEB, but I’ve considered touching it again.

Current

My current project that has most of my attention is of course The American Icarus. Following the life of Alexander Hamilton, but written in the style of a posthumous memoir. I’ve spent absolutely forever writing just book one (of five somehow), but so far I’m making steady progress. Super excited to tackle Hamilton’s time as a New York artillery captain. Even if most of the fun will be writing things going boom and some bloodshed sprinkled with badassary.

Next

To be completely honest, I don’t know what’s next after TAI. I do have that Aaron Burr post-duel idea, and my Hamilton Quasi-War alternate history idea (and even more Hamilton adjacent ideas similarly styled to TAI), but at the moment with how taxing TAI is proving to be with the amount of research I’m doing, I’d like to take a break from something rooted in lots of real history. So probably something akin to my fantasy/alternate history novel, Ink of Destruction, that’s less serious with itself while still unique and chaotic. I’d love to mess with time travel for instance, but right now I can’t figure out how I would put a fresh spin on it and not just write another time travel story. A common feature among all my projects is proving to be that history plays a notable role though, and honestly this is very fitting.

Leaving this as an open tag for anyone who wants to play!

📖

So one of my novel ideas I have that I know won't see the light of day for a while is a fin de siècle circus plot set in Montmartre which kinda smashes together Mother War from MCR's Welcome to the Black Parade music video and the girl in Mr. Brightside. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but it's kinda Phantom of the Opera meets Moulin Rouge like Where Dreams Descend but gimme more.

👻 ghost: can you tease some wip ideas that have been haunting you/something you want to write in the future?

🍎 apple: let’s talk about friendship in your wip. do you have any favorite friend/platonic dynamics? any friendships gone sour?

@writingonesdreams

tysm for the ask @writingonesdreams-main

👻-I have been wanting to and working on a few wip ideas behind the scenes.

specifically, a demon slayer fic and an original fic of mine based on a few of my fictober one-shots, however both of these are still in the planning phase.

🍎-I'm going to pick my wip, the great beasts for this one.

my favorite friendship/platonic friendship is between my character qiaolian and the dragon king of the east sea, Ao Guang.

they share a genuine friendship where either will always be there to help the other out.

an example of this is when she made him a gift in honor of his fallen son Ao Bing and in exchange, he gave her a powerful tonic that would remove a demon's poison from her mother

for a friendship that ends or goes sour, that would be between chuntao's sister rong and her husband wukong.

I don't wanna spoil too much, but let's just say a few events happened and Rong ends up harboring bitter resentment, bordering on hatred, towards sun wukong

she doesn't bother associating with him, to the point that in the sequel we learn from Chuntao, that she or wukong hasn't spoken to Rong and macaque for a couple hundred years.

i just love lore so is there any background info or heacanons about the ncta organization you think is cool and would like the share with the class?

i obviously really love this kind of ask because i can unleash my headcanons like they aren't the deeply intricated stuff i have written stressing me out so thank you for asking!

(here's my notes i made on my phone over the last few weeks, some vague spoilers for wips and future works)

i have a pet theory it's been normalized that most modern spy works outside of hyperfictionalized superhero-adjacent stuff like Bourne, Bond, and M:I return to this era because our current media has an easier time talking about Russia and communism being the greatest evil rather than reflecting on Western imperialist and colonialist devastation in the global south

background/inspo/setting

the timeline in this AU is nebulous and jumps around a bit and no one really ages (maybe they're vampires?) but i'm keeping it limited to alternate versions of the 60s-90s based on the fact that this was the time of peak cold war era spy fiction and that's what i know best

other inspirational texts besides Mission: Impossible and the wide range of spy fiction and old school TV are Venture Bros., Ed Brubaker's work on Captain America (Marvel's attempts at spy stuff in general really), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), Atomic Blonde (2017), and a few more

the NCTA building is located somewhere in the Virginia side of the DMV. most of the agents have permanent residency in these areas or adjacent to them. the institutional cover is Neotech Industries which specializes in government-contracted tech advancement projects and has a full legal wing dedicated to institutional reform and emerging markets. many of the employees have no idea what they do but it's very dry and boring in a pre-internet age way and of course allows them special access to US intelligence networks. like the IMF in Mission: Impossible they're a multinational project mostly working against rich, evil, and powerful influences in global politics with a fierce interest in minimizing human costs and bettering the world in secret. aka the author wishes to make this spy fantasy not a spy fact

pretty much all SM groups exist in this AU and the original NCTA was started by my favorite 2nd gen group who you'll probably be able to guess easily but will be introduced in the Yuta installment. they're a shadow organization now that 127 has taken over but are still very much active. they're already name-dropped in some of my wips but expect to hear about Diamante, Exile, Artemis, and a few others.

section V

fun fact: the NCTA lacks fem agents because they are all actively recruited by Artemis, a rival/reluctant ally org of all-women agents. Black Widow but based because I love ggs. it's common knowledge they've infiltrated the agency but it's allowed to both supply counter-intel (Section V's responsibility) as well as keep the peace. one (or maybe more?) of the neos gets a dedicated romance with a rival agent in their installment and I'm looking forward to giving a peek inside that institution, especially wrt aespa's role/lore

speaking of future WIPs I think the one I'm looking forward to the most is Section V. I wanted to make an A-Team style ragtag group of misfits who also happen to be incredibly good at what they do. They're an independent wing of the NCTA who run counterintelligence and agency security and go out in the field as a team or as counsel with other agents for high-stakes operations

In lieu of any details here's their trope alignments and what I've constructed based on their existing personas:

Kun [Diplomacy] - as mentioned in D&S is Director of Internal Security so 2nd in command to the Director. He provides operational oversight but like Taeyong is an experienced active field agent that will participate in missions as an Ace Pilot/Mentor. Perpetually sighing at everyone but especially his team. I will write y/n with him eventually as he deserves but Ten will have to be involved in some capacity

Ten [Stealth] is the agency's top spy and responsible for NCTA training protocol. He's a Black Widow type with a troubled past but also The Heart/Team Mom of the group. Most likely to use lethal force in combat so rightly feared by everyone in the team and the agency with the exception of the Directors. Trained Johnny and a few of the other agents (amongst other things) and never lets them forget it

Winwin [Diplomacy] is the Face of the group and the one most in the public eye. He's there to provide cover/legitimacy for operations needing access to elite institutions or to play roles such as a wealthy buyer. Very shy and reserved when he's not playing a part but intelligent and knowledgeable and worldly. Also in the vein of Mr. T absolutely terrified of flying.

Xiaojun [Stealth] is Kun's right hand and the Brains of the op and computing/cryptography expert. He's expected to do more field ops as part of the younger trio and is fully capable but is more dedicated to eye-in-the-sky technology and providing direction and information. The Lancer to Yangyang's Hero, he tries to keep the impulsivity of the younger agents in check while constantly being steamrolled by them.

Hendery [Combat] is the technical/weapons/demolitions expert of the group. Goofy, sweet personality but most likely to do the most damage in the shortest amount of time, by accident or not. Acts as The Heavy with a heart of gold and Yangyang's field partner and is the glue keeping the younger trio together. Comic relief as usual but also extremely reliable and kind and gets along well with non-Section agents. Most often deployed as Winwin's bodyguard in public-facing ops but absolutely useless with women (in a fun way)

As regards sub-units I have a personal comfort hardline policy on writing certain Dream members T-rated-only (Renjun, Chenle, Jisung) so future wips are a bit out except for them working with older agents. however my next big WIP in the vein of D&S is the story of how Mark gets recruited into the agency by Haechan's partner and ruins his life (literally) before they eventually become best frenemys. I'm not going to let on who wins y/n's heart in that one except that the love triangle in this one will not end with an OT3 (unlike a few others) and the loser will get his own one-shot to make up for it

Yangyang [combat] is Ten's understudy/apprentice and the group wildcard. If this were a TV show he'd be the main character/new guy (yeah you know my bias now) who is always getting into trouble and somehow slipping out of it. Wants badly to be an international man of mystery but no one takes him seriously. Personality quirk is always saying what no one else in their right mind would say aloud, and usually at the wrong time.

Didi line will have their own dedicated series because I love them and their chaotic gamer energy and would like to throw them against an enemy spy or spies that would toy with them with a comedy angle while the older agents have to help them find their groove

Project: DREAM

You'll meet more Dream members but they're all apprenticed to older agents or working specialized roles within the agency at current writing. Their program is important because they're NCTA's attempt to build agents from the ground up, providing advanced covers while crosstraining them in intelligence roles. so I've approached them more like child superheroes than the others with double lives within double lives. For 5Dream specifically:

Jaemin is Doyoung’s intern learning legal and financial (corporate espionage)

Jisung is Taeyong's leadership intern and personal assistant/bodyguard

Renjun is the Q character supporting Research under Section V oversight and working directly with field agents to provide weaponry and spytech

Chenle is working in medical which is a part of Research along with Renjun, doubling as a combat medic and agent health assessor

Jeno is partnered with Chenle currently (you'll meet him in D&S follow-up) but has been cycled through multiple roles and trainings previously for field agent advancement under Mark and Haechan

They've all survived placements with semi-retired agents and agents (getting paired with mentors to put the fear of God into them), as well as working with newer recruits in basic field training.

rookies

i have plans for the Rookies even though I've made Sungtaro into the surveillance team, but definitely will find a place for them once I actually have time to watch their content on Viki and especially if they debut. What can I say, Shohei has my attention as a big ol' goth boi with a government assigned eagle persona. He better be in NCT 2023 (hopefully later rather than sooner with this fucked up winter schedule) and I need more interactions with him and Johnny stat

thanks again for the ask and hope you have an excellent holiday break and new year

Imagine building a family in a terrible world. Some of you die sooner, and you try to make it work. Then everyone, everything is gone, you have less than a minute to process that, and you're alone. Except it's worse! Because your family will be there, but suddenly you're not part of it. The house is in front of you and you don't have the keys.

#This scene was played off a bit for the laughs but seriously? #Casey had just lost everyone and everything #And now he's alienated in a new world with the people he's used to existing with #Imagine seeing the house right there #except you dont have the keys. the curtains are drawn open so you can see everything inside. but you just #dont have the keys #(yet) #anyway We love casey jones in this household #also?? uncletello for the win #the poor guy just doesnt know it yet #my art #artwork #wip #painting #digital painting #rottmnt #casey jones #casey jones junior #the future boy #casey #future casey #rottmnt casey #casey jones #rottmnt casey jr #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt fandom #donatello rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles art #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles

Random question

How do you think buddie would survive a murder house? Like an actual house they have to get out while a murderer is following them

Oh I love this question!

Eddie would immediately snap into soldier mode. He might be healed/healing but he's still familiar with combat and he still knows what it's like to have a human, or humans, actively out for your blood. So Eddie — sweet, lovable, dork dad Eddie —would fade to the back and Staff Sgt. Diaz would take his place. Taking control, giving orders that he expects Buck to follow to the letter if they want to get out alive, improvising and using whatever is at his disposal as a weapon. He would get them to safety and he'd spill blood if he needed to without remorse.

Buck is not a soldier, and he has not seen combat, but as we've seen from the shooting, he knows how to dig deep when he needs to. Especially when it comes to Eddie. He would follow Eddie's instructions, but if it came down to it (say, if Eddie was injured/out of commission), he would draw on every ounce of SEAL training and raw strength he's ever had and get them out or, at the very least, put up a hell of a fight so they go down swinging.

Thank you to everyone who's taken interested in my cryptid project!! Here's some more sketches!

I've been animating awhile and it feels right to start making my own lil' series..I've loved North American cryptids since I was a wee baby! I actually wanted to be a Cryptozoologist when I was a kid.. (I guess this is as close as I'm gonna get!)

Our MC's are Bigs (BigFoot) and Tad (LoveLand Frog)

The two of them have lived in isolation their whole life, and the series follows them as humans slowly take over more of their neck of the woods, as well as meeting other cryptids over the series! (They also take care of the Moth-Baby I've shown in previous post!)

While the tone will be slice of life, that doesn't mean there wont be some drama/horror elements!

you have hex in your name so therefore...when is the supernatural au fic coming hm?

oh man that is an EXCELLENT question. i got rocked so hard by the halloween-related kinktober stuff better authors put out (this is a reminder to do a recs list) i haven't really thought about doing my own yet, but it's definitely something i would like to write in the future. i have the monsterfucking gene and i love love love supernatural horror, it's been my staple for oc work for years

i've also always wanted to do a Constantine (film)/Sandman (comic)-inspired AU but knowing my love of that content it could get very out of hand. y/n as a scrappy witch-for-hire/exorcist dealing with a nightmare/monster/demon/angel of the week sounds like a fun prompt
