story where some random woman becomes queen of a kingdom where the throne is said to be cursed because of all the coincidental heir-to-the-throne deaths and is absolutely not on board with this, she was perfectly content with her edge of the land territory where she could actually have a moment of peace bc people weren't constantly kicking down her doors all day about the land's horrible management problems because she actually did her job looking out for the welfare of her citizens and the entire kingdom wasn't aggressively debating her legitimacy.
so what does she do? abdicate like a normal person? no. she's extra and I want her to do things impractically so I can have a story.
so girlboss just engages in incredibly and increasingly convoluted plots to stage her own dethroning and every single time it just does the exact opposite of what she wants it to do.
fake someone else having more legit claim to the throne? accidentally uncover irrefutable evidence of the next five people in line actually having committed treason.
try and hire someone to stage a fake coup? the guys she hired fail so badly at it that they accidentally storm the wrong castle and now they're wanted next kingdom over for the most pathetic attempt at a hostile takeover in the past 600 years of recorded history.
try and get a fortune teller to fake prophesise that she'd suck as queen and needs to leave? the wizard advisor who got rid of the last 16 heirs because their vibes all sucked slides the fortune teller 20 bucks extra to prophesise the opposite.
so these two people are engaging in barely concealed to the court antics in attempts to either Not have to deal with all the crud rulers have to deal with or keep the current one in place because the past guys were all pathetic and she may hate it but she actually does her job pretty okay.
she may hate being queen but it's not like she's going to screw over the kingdom at large and it's citizens to get out of it.
eventually she gets desperate and tries to fake her kidnapping by like a dragon or something in exchange for some gold and the dragon and the wizard are old pals from fantasy hijinks college and this woman is halfheartedly yoinked from a picnic and dropped in a really tall tree literally anybody with rope and a ladder could get up and she's back grumpily drawing up ethical infrastructure upkeep plans in less than two hours.
wizard advisor grinning smugly at her while she, exhaustedly and frustrated that nobody would do this before her, signs union protections into law while her attempt of the day to go off and live in a cottage somewhere fails loudly in the background.
she just wants to sleep in past 6 am and not have to deal with big social minefield parties and also not have to deal with assassins from the families of the past 16 terribly pathetic rulers for ten seconds meanwhile court wizard ameilia is forcing her to attend alliance meetings and bringing to her attention the egregious policy failings of the past rulers that she can't just LEAVE LIKE THAT.
so this goes on until eventually most of the glaring issues have been addressed and she just realizes hey wait why didn't I just coordinate a coup with wizard ameilia so she could do all this instead since she's so insistent on fixing everything.
and then she asks and wizard ameilia admits that she also hates paperwork but somebody had to do it.
and then she just pettily throws the contents of her inkwell at her and goes back to reversing some random past king's dumb law he made because he wanted to save face for some dumb embarrassing thing he did while also writing herself a not to assign wizard woman ameilia nine extra court responsibilities and an apprentice so if the next ruler after her sucks at their job they can force some random person with some level of morals into enacting ethical policy too.
this probably makes no sense and I am writing this 46 minutes past midnight but I think it's funny and if I actually put this into chaptered writing I am not really focusing on the ethics or political side of things. I am entirely doing this just to see how far into absurdity I can push this woman's 'someone please dethrone me I need a nap' plotting.

(I feel like this is such a cliche but I want this)
will was constantly bickering with some stupid boy in his classes. He somehow managed to share most of his classes with Nico di Angelo, an absolute bitch. The two get partnered for projects and will sit there and bicker for hours.
Will came home tired, after a long day and pulled out his phone. He opened some social media and scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. After a few days of doing this, he noticed that many of his enjoyed comments were by the same person. He followed this person, and they followed back.
Will and this stranger became online friends, talking at every chance. The two had much in common, and Will was intoxicated with Mr. Stranger’s ability to hold a conversation.
Soon, Will found himself complaining about Nico di Angelo to his online friend. His online friend agreed that Nico sounded like a bitch.
In biology, Will and Nico got partnered again somehow.
“Hey there, death breath,” Will commented. Nico rolled his eyes, focused on his phone.
Will felt his phone buzz in his pocket and pulled it out.
ugh, I got partnered with a bitch for class again. so frustrating.
Will smiled to himself, and replied, me too omg. we’ll suffer together.
Nico looked up to discuss the project to see Will’s sunshiney smile. Fuck. He thought to himself. He’s kinda cute.
The two boys worked on the project, and laving their phones in the table to talk. Will picked his phone up and texted his friend, almost done w class yay
At that moment when Will pushed send, Nico’s phone buzzed. Will saw Nico’s lock screen of a greyscale landscape, and a notification from apollo_sun. Him. That was Will.
it hit Will instantly, and it was very visible on his face. Nico looked up, eyebrows arched.
“what is it, idiot?” Nico asked. Will stuttered, grasping for words.
“nothing.”
Nico rolled his eyes and pushed his wavy black hair behind his ear, revealing a beauty mark Will didn’t notice. Will decided to pretend it hadn’t happened.
—— many weeks of talking and bickering and chatting later, Will felt like he should learn more about the other boy.
Will : hey, stranger
Will: do you have a crush on anyone? 😋
Nico: oh? Since when have you cared abt that shit?
Nico: but yeah maybe ig
Will imagined the dark, lonely boy having a crush on someone and giggled.
Will: oooh?? who
Nico: even if I gave u a name u wouldn’t know them idiot
Will: exaccctlyyyy, which is why you should tell me!
Nico: mmm.
Nico: Will.
Will stared at his phone in shock. The boy who claimed to hate him so much, admitting to liking him. To his face. Without knowing.

"chilchuck isn't a twink, he's a DILF!" now i get why you're saying that but i feel like you've maybe forgotten what chilchuck tims canonically looks like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm sorry but this man is a twink. also DILF isn't a body type it's a status (and technically, an opinion) so he can be both
"but he's middle-aged!" look at him. look with your eyeballs. his age has nothing to do with the fact that he Looks Like That. he's a twink. the sooner you accept this the less angry his fandom will make you
edit bc this post has become the bane of my existence:
FAQ
Q: wtf do you mean he's a dad? he looks like a kid. A: he is 29 years old, and a half-foot. half-foots are dungeon meshi's halflings, or hobbits, or whatever you want to call them.
Q: wait, if he's 29, why the fuck are you calling him middle-aged? A: half-foots have an average lifespan of 50 years. chilchuck was originally drawn with grey hairs (you can see that in the manga fullbody) but the mangaka gave up on that over time. he's middle-aged for his race.
Q: hey, doesn't that look like a little angry face on his boot in the manga drawing? A: yea kinda

There's the ghost of a child playing above Bludhaven
He's a short little thing, who glows and waves around a little sword. Sometimes he has a ship, sometimes he doesn't.
The kid keeps saying that it only fits that Bludhaven be his haunt, because it has "blud" in it and his name is "Youngblood".
Also he has declared Nightwing to be his nemesis.
Nightwing loves it; he gets to have at least one day a week that's just goofing off with a kid who can't be hurt by any of his regular villains. Their "fights" are more like play dates, if he's being honest, and Youngblood is a good kid.
Sometimes he's swinging from the sails of the kids ghost ship, dodging "ecto blasts", other times he's "teaming up" with Youngblood and "sword fights" another spectral Hero, called Phantom.
Generally, they all have a good time.
Until one day, he stumbles across some men in white suits actually managing to hurt the ghost child.
That day, the GIW learns that the most violent Robin wasn't the second one, but the first.

redesigning some old hogs for my ocs story I’m planning 🦔
Just some notes to add:
-I tried to make sonic look more similar to uncle chuck, he is also experiencing quill loss
-wears compression knee pads
-the big scar on his chest resulted from a battle that will be told in my ocs story
- wearing 2 of shadow’s inhibitor rings 💍
- shadow has more black arms/black doom features like his tail and red markings on his legs
-both have new kicks to keep up with the modern times

i’m such a whore for jaw-dropping, heavily stylized, thematically laden, full of heart animation. will forever be impressed at the stories that are coming from non-disney studios having their moment to shine.
