#hijinks ensue

[ardustein]

Alright ya'll, hear me out.

So the citizens of Fawcett city start to notice this homeless kid. Now, this wouldn't be too strange normally, but this kid is weird.

He will randomly walk out of alleyways that no one saw him entering. He has strange lightning scars up and down his face. Coincidentally, the sound of thunder seems so follow wherever he goes. If you try and talk to him he will answer vaguely before running off and disappearing without a trace. Some people say his eyes glow in the dark. Others mention him having conversations with a tiger. Criminals who attempt to rob from him get caught the day after.

After a little while, Batman catches wind of this, and of course, he needs to know everything, so he starts to investigate. After gathering intel about the kid, he finally goes to approach Captain Marvel about it. Marvel starts acting strangely, skittish, on guard, suspicious.

So Batman gets even more interested and starts diving deeper into this Billy Batson kid. It doesn't take long for him to discover C.C. Batson, the boys father, and sharer of Marvel's face. The whole family seemingly disappeared overnight, parents dead, both children missing.

Batman brings up some evidence of Billy to Zantana and after examining it she states that this kid is definitely not human. His aura is flickering, like his corporeal form is in flux.

So, Batman comes to the only logical conclusion. Billy is a ghost

and Captain Marvel murdered him.

#hijinks ensue #batman would for sure try and talk to billy but he would avoid him like the plague #batman does not mention this to anyone for fear that marvel will find out #so the league and billy become very confused about why batman has started acting so paranoid #well #more paranoid than usual #and in billys attemps to stop batman from finding out his identity #billy just convinces him of the theory more and more #and maybe the two accidentally bond for real during the misunderstanding #batman #billy batson #shazam #captain marvel #shazam! #dc #dc comics

@esper-aroon has enabled me, so here let me scream at y'all about The Imperial Uncle.

Okay, so I recently read The Imperial Uncle (Huang Shu) by Da Feng Gua Guo from Peach Flower House and I really loved it??? It's first person pov, mlm, about the Emperor's uncle Jing Chengjun, who is mistrusted by everyone simply because of who his parents were and his position, and so he's basically given up on trying to convince people that he's actually a nice, decent person without ulterior motives. He's super trapped by his position, and there's so much he can't say and do, and he's also a hopeless romantic, like, from his own mouth all he really wants is to sleep beside and wake up next to someone who actually gives a shit about him, and even that is basically out of reach in his life. Like, the book starts with his wife (who he has never once had sex with) storming into a meeting he's having and announcing he's a cuckold and she's pregnant.

But also, this poor bastard really thinks he knows what's going on and his very smart. Very unreliable narrator. He's actually kinda a hilarious, impulsive himbo. But the TL:DR is that his loneliness and isolation and the extent to which he's politically trapped routinely lead him to make absolutely terrible decisions.

E. Danglar's translation is absolutely gorgeous, too, and... idk, if you love political plots, melodramatic idiot main characters, a dose of pining, and a slow burn that eventually pays off, come take a look??? (some people think it's a love triangle??? idk, I never really got that vibe, I never felt it was really in doubt which of the two potential dudes he'd end up with, but maybe I only feel that way because I got it right, lmao).

Anyway, I can't stop thinking about how these two idiots end up finally finding each other and getting together, and I have an entire AU in my head (a modern corporate one) and part of another (canon divergent from like a decade before the book starts), and I just want people to love this book as much as I did and scream with me about it.

#unforth rambles #da feng gua guo #the imperial uncle #huang shu #the first au is jing chengjun and li ransi meet and have a fling during a vacation #and then find out that they work for the same company #hijinks ensue #the other is an au that starts with what if jing chengjun's father had actually been accused and convicted of treason #whether he was guilty or not #and his family was sentenced to death #but because jing chengjun is a youth he is instead made into a eunuch and forced into servitude to the imperial family #i know it's a stretch that someone of his stature would be treated that way instead of killed or sold off as a slave #i just don't care #anyway he's given awful jobs at first and they leave him weak and sickly but eventually it because clear he really isn't a threat #and he's allowed to help raise the princes in the next generation including the crown prince #and he also gets to know the other young people around the palace but as a subservient slightly older person #instead of as their elder of higher rank #and then liu tongyi is like okay so everyone thinks you're useless do you want to be a spy for me and help me uncover treason #and he's like FUCK YEAH #and love unfolds from there ofc

now I'm thinking about lalo pretty much kidnapping jimmy and kim so that they go on a double date with him and nacho. lalo doesn't have friends in abq and anyway he wants what the silly little lawyer and his hot wife have </3 wants to observe them

Meleanor's winning btw

Good evening TWST Nation. Today I bring you this out of context meme for a half finished AU. Tomorrow? Who knows

#The TLDR is that neither Meleanor nor Leia had moved on after their deaths and secretly kept watching over their sons as ghosts #No one knows they're there except the MC (who can see them due to a special Grimoire she found in Ramshakle's attic while cleaning) #and then decides to make it her personal mission to convince the two to get along and move on into the Great Hereafter #Hijinks Ensue #Meleanor Draconia #TWST Leia #Malleus Draconia #The Ghost Of My Parents AU #Twisted Wonderland Spoilers #Twisted Wonderland Book 7 Spoilers #Twisted Wonderland

AU where a year or two in their apprenticeship, Padawans search for the force to find a Calling (what typically ends up being small service project) and usually everything is all fine and dandy.

Enter Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, newest member of the disaster lineage and genetically unable to stay away from mandalorians, apparently.

Qui-Gon: okay, take a deep breath, and cast out to the force—

Obi-Wan, zero hesitation: mandalore

Qui-Gon: oh no

Qui-Gon, twitching: now, padawan, be very certain it is not your feelings influencing you—

Obi-Wan, vibrating: /it's mandalore/

Qui-Gon: [sighs] are you *certain*?

Obi-Wan, hearing the force screeching in excitement: yep

Qui-Gon, sighing: sure. Why not. Off to the ancestral homeland of our enemies in the middle of a civil war. Why not. Do you at least have a faction for us? /Please let it be the new mandalorians/

Obi-Wan: it's the true mandalorians.

Qui-Gon: for the— Fine. FINE. at least it's not Death Watch.

Obi-Wan: ........

Qui-Gon: ,,,,,Obi-Wan???

Obi-Wan: so,,,, say, theoretically,,,,, the force is telling me to go and help ALL of them but *especially* the true mandalorians.....

Qui-Gon:

Qui-Gon: yeah no, MACE—

truly tragic that there’s no sophie x humphrey fics that cater to my specific needs of them meeting in a universe where they’re not married and sophie’s a highway man who, while trying to rob humphrey, gets caught in the middle of his assassination attempt and deciding that’s just a bit too nice to lose his head, saves him, and the two have to go on the run and learn to work together to take down Humphrey’s attempted killer

#sophie is initially hesitant but humphrey promises to pay her if she keeps him safe so she goes along with it but uh oh she catches feelings #hijinks ensue #bbc ghosts #sorry i am putting this in the main tag i want other people to think about this

Hehe hey remember that brief period in time when Mike Nesmith (The Monkees' lead guitarist and resident asshole) looked almost identical to Jimmy Page (who was not yet but would be Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist and resident asshole. I mean, a bigger asshole than the other members. Which I can't really say for The Yardbirds which was his band at the time, lest we forget Eric Clapton, who is/was at least as much of an asshole as Page, is also an alumnus of The Yardbirds. Anyway)? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Anyway, a few key differences between these two control freak stick figures of undeniable talent but dubious likeability: Mike Nesmith could actually drive (and with proficiency) a car as well as a motorcycle (as well as -- I believe -- an airplane?) and punch a hole clear through drywall (true story), whereas Mister Black Magick on the other hand didn't (and still doesn't? Not sure?) have a driver's license, was not reasonably safe on a motorcycle even as a passenger (true story), and any attempt to do bare-knuckled physical damage to the structural integrity of a building would probably result in Jimmy looking like this:

Thank you for coming to my "How to Tell the Difference Between the Lanky Raven Haired Lead Guitarist Douchebags in lemongrablothbrok's Favorite Late '60s/early '70s Pop/Rock Quartets Where There's Two Capricorns and One is Some Cute Lil Guy Named Jones and the Other One is This Bitch Right Here" TED Talk. I forget why I did it in the first place, I think I was bored. And because comparing and contrasting arbitrary shit is my jam.

Also a couple months ago I had this dream that Led Zeppelin had their own TV show like The Monkees except it was them. Which would have been fucking wild. I blame those charmingly domestic indoor shots from the Chateau Marmont photoshoot for planting such zany ideas in my subconscious.

#the monkees #led zeppelin #mike nesmith #jimmy page #alternate universe where everything is the same except led zeppelin has their own tv show where they live together #hijinks ensue #also i don't think nez is nearly as sweaty as page but then he grew up in texas and probs has a higher tolerance for heat #i'm going to regret this dumbass post in the morning but right now i'm overcaffeinated and stir crazy from nearly 1 week in quarantine

i posted the same thing on twitter, but i know that tumblr has more people who share the same kind of madness as me and will understand my vision better:

an AU fanfic in which Loustat has not just one daughter, but twins, one based on Bailey!Claudia and the other on Delainey!Claudia.

#a friend of mine told me that delainey looks so much like jacob #and i couldn't help but think that claudia played by bailey is so much more like lestat #i just know a The Parent Trap AU would be INCREDIBLE #bailey!claudia with lestat and delainey!claudia with louis #hijinks ensue #amc interview with the vampire #iwtv louis #iwtv claudia #iwtv lestat #bailey bass #delainey hayles #iwtv amc #iwtv #interview with the vampire #fanfic ideas

The funniest possible outcome would be if the tag team tie with Jiji. Can we achieve this? I think we can tbh. We have a week. But the tag team need a LOT of votes to pull it off lmao

YES THIS WOULD BE SO FUNNY

The ultimate best fictional cat finale. Back to the start (i.e. having a perfect tie involving ace attorney cats)

Also this poll already has more votes than any other one and it's not even been a day! Anything is possible!

the cherenverse visual novel is actually really good i totally recommend it!!

#cherenverse #kurosawa #kurusu #hilber is the hilbert from the universe where he's a visual novel protagonist #he accidentally entered the cheren house instead of the hilbert house #hijinks ensue #there are multiple endings where he dies somehow he's fine though probably
