Writing my way up to H.G. Wells + J.R.R. Tolkien-tier and beyond

I mean, I would like to get a few short stories / poems / animation shorts / short films / "software toys" going and by far. So may as well pitch a few of my current narrative draft ideas for initial practice...

I guess I will make it clear that I feel a powerful need to write down immersive / cohesive yet oxymoron Axis victory set of stories. Most likely with some cultural & technological nuances (not about making Nazism, Fascism and others legitimate but definitely challenging some assumptions we societally made from the world wars) & conflicted characters as far as emulating dystopia-writing with a humane / relatable touch.

These are not the only narratives I would like to convey, far from it. I got a couple more related to historical "mysteries", my constructed world(s?) slice-of-life-s and overall making optimistic meta-narratives. Like some about my hometown, a couple around specific tools / challenges / design contraints, much about far far away alternate futures and a few drop-in "clef" replacements for some existing works with strong satirist-ic commentary & nuanced intrigue politics...

Here are a couple of such media I hope to express some opinions onto through these "clef" keys.

(Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Twilight, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Warriors, Chronicles of Narnia, A Song of Ice and Fire, Silmarillion, Bible, standalone X-Men movies, Naruto / Boruto, Tarzan, Conan The Barbarian, John Carter of Mars, Terminator, Predator, Alien, Degrassi, Star Wars, Star Trek, Half-Life, Stargate SG1, How To Train Your Dragon, Frozen, Pirates of the Caribbean, Matrix, Rio, Jurassic Park, James Bond, Homestuck, Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron, Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas, The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Helluva Boss / Hazbin Hotel, Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken, Shrek, Coco, The Book of Life, Ice Age, Mulan, Lord of the Rings, Megamind, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, Pokemon, Sonic The Hedgehog, Cyberpunk RED + 2077, Halo, Destiny, Pathfinder, Outlander, Genship Impact, Starcraft, Grand Theft Auto, Bioshock Infinite + Burial at Sea, Animal Crossing, Fable 2, Earthbound, Metroid, Splatoon, Bionicle, Chronotrigger, Dishonored, XCOM, Turning Red, Luca, 300, The Time Machine, Brontë, Ethan Frome, Death in Venice, The Hired Girl, Tintin, Watchmen, Jour J, Hellboy, V for Vendetta, Ghost Rider, Asterix, Lackadaisy, Zoophobia, Danny Phantom, Avatar The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, Code Lyoko, Kim Possible, Powerpuff Girls, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Animaniacs, Boondocks, Totally Spies, Futurama, 6teen, Stoked, Wakfu, Hot Wheels, Discworld, Forgotten Realms, Quake, Coran, Tanak, mythologies, historical fiction, ancestries, Hypnospace Outlaw / Sword Art Online, Zachtronics ('TIS-100' & 'Shenzhen I/O'), Ace Combat, Overlord, Bloody Good Time, Resistance Fall of Man, Perfect Dark, Zelda, God of War, Kaisha...)

Not exhaustive by any margin but yk, the first few up to Alien are definitely deserving some strong reworks...

But yeah, that's kinda my type of creative bar setting (I still am casual but yk I shall outshine Tolkien with all the tools available nowadays), aka making bronze age literature lineage-ing type of timeless works.

Don't mind me if I get started some onto the promised Jucika-derived comic strips and get the ball rolling on my open source workflow (first onto Kate + LibreOffice and eventually in the terminal with Tmux/Fish/Vim and all the other creative writing goodies...)

Be not afraid...

Strengths and Weaknesses

Alex “Seapilot” x Reader

Strengths and Weaknesses

Prompt: “Hey! Can you do a Seapilot imagine (jumanji), where reader is fridges sister and sea pilot fancies her, but then she saves his life (instead of Bethany) and he proper falls in love. Then at the end when Vanpelt confronts them instead of him holding a gun to Bethany he holds a gun to reader. Fridge and seapilot kind of says to take him instead, he saves the reader, and then they kiss. Maybe could Alex’s young self come back with them so it’s kind of happy. Over protective fridge aswell please! Xx” and “Hey could you do an Alex (jumanji) x reader where one of the readers Strengths is ‘alex’ and she’s confused before she meets him. Then they fall in love, then at the end could you make it so his young self comes back with the kids so it’s not sad, could there be a kiss scene😀 thanks x”

Note: I’m kind of in love with Alex??? I think we all are??? These two requests were pretty similar so I combined them. Hope you enjoy. Also, there are Jumanji spoilers, so I’ll put it under a cut.

Warnings: None?

Word Count: 1375

Play the game, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Well, now you were stuck in a video game outrunning motorcycles with rocket throwers, man-eating animals, and the like. Your character was Penny Fixit, a mechanic. You were wearing, from what you could tell, a khaki vest, khaki capris, some sturdy brown boots, a red bandana around your neck, and some aviator goggles were resting on your head.

Your left hand had a sparkly diamond ring on it, and when you had asked Nigel in the car earlier, he had said it was from your fiance, someone called the Seapilot. Spencer explained that there had been another character in the game but they couldn’t choose it, meaning somewhere in here there must be someone else. Or maybe he had already spent his three lives.

The five of you made it to the marketplace where your adoptive brother, Fridge, now about half his normal height, had de-fanged a snake that had been poised to strike Martha. And now, you were all following some handsome stranger to evade Van Pelt’s men.

“I am so stoked you guys are here. So stoked.” He sounded very stoked. The stranger had black hair, handsome features, and warm brown eyes.

“You’re the other player, right? The pilot?” Spencer asked.

“Yep.” You passed another obstacle and he instructed: “Stay off the white tiles and don’t move.”

Several blades slid out of the walls. Your eyes widened. Then they slid back out. The pilot moved a plank over a pit and walked across it with ease.

“Careful. It’s a horrible way to die.” Alligators snapped in the water below and your heart raced. Spencer went across next. Then Martha, Fridge, Bethany, and then you were the only one left. You looked down and gulped, frozen in place. The pilot held out his hand and nearly melted you with a soft smile. “Come on. I’ve got’cha.”

You took a few shaky steps and then took his hand, letting him pull you over to the other side. Stumbling into him, he looked you over, but didn’t say anything. He knew who you were. And now, he was super stoked.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

A few moments later, all of you were standing outside again. “I’m Alex.”

“You’re one of my strengths.” You blurted out before the others could introduce themselves.

“What?”

“Look.” You pressed just above your heart and your profile popped up in the sky.

Penny Fixit

Strengths: Machinery, Fixing Things, Tinkering, Alex

Weaknesses: Fear of Heights

“My name’s (Y/N).”

“I’m Spencer. This is Martha, Fridge, and Bethany.”

“You’re a girl?”

“Woman,” Bethany did one of her little flirty finger waves. You kind of laughed. You were lucky the avatar you picked was a girl.

Alex led the group to his hideout and made everyone Margaritas. He explained his weakness to mosquitos and then took a seat next to you.

“Cheers.” He clinked his glass against yours.

“Cheers.”

***

You had done it. You had snuck into the flight shed. The helicopter was a little bit broken, but you knew exactly how to fix it. Fridge handed you your toolbag, which was in his backpack for reasons unknown, and Alex was helping you with the fixing.

“Wrench.”

He handed you the wrench.

“Screwdriver.”

He handed you the screwdriver. You rewired some things, and then when you closed up the door, wiping off your brow.

“Ready to go, Flyboy.” You patted his chest.

He smirked. And then his eyes widened in fear as he looked around, realizing just where he was and what had happened here previously. You took his hand.

“You’re my strength, Alex. Let me be yours.”

Alex took a deep breath and then nodded, putting on his sunglasses.

“Alright. Let’s do this.”

***

The mission was a success, and even if you had hit a little bump in the road, everyone had made it out alive. Alex managed to help you overcome your fear of heights by holding your hand and talking to you. Luckily, you didn’t explode. For some reason, you were afraid that would happen.

It was once everyone was out of the helicopter and celebrating that the mosquito struck. Alex slapped the back of his neck and passed out.

“He’s dying…” Ruby whispered.

“Alex! Alex, wake up!” You knelt down beside him, looking at his wrist. His last stripe was fading. But...you still had two. Maybe…

“Spencer, how do I do CPR?”

“Uh, three chest compressions,” you pressed down on Alex’s chest three times. “One breath, two breath, repeat.”

“How do I-?”

“Pinch his nose shut and breathe into his mouth, full seal.” Spencer instructed.

You pinched his nose shut with your fingers and then breathed into his mouth twice. Then, you repeated the chest compressions and did it again.

“Wait, your arm!” Martha interrupted. “I...I think you’re giving him one of your lives.”

“I’m okay with that.”

“But what if you need it?”

“I want Alex to come home too.” You moved the hair out of your face and continued until Alex’s eyes opened and he started breathing on his own.

“What happened?”

“(Y/N) gave you one of her lives,” Bethany explained as you and Alex got off of the ground.

“Are you serious?” Alex looked at you for a few seconds before pulling you into his arms and hugging you tight. “Oh my God, thank you!”

“Don’t mention it.” You smiled, hugging him back.

***

It was hours later, and it was all over. Jumanji had been saved and Nigel was driving down the road towards your group. Alex had not only saved your life during the fight, he had kissed you, too. You were still up on cloud nine and you doubted you would ever come down, jittery with all of the emotions that came with newfound love.

“Thank you for saving Jumanji. This is where our journey ends.” Nigel held his hand out to Alex. “Seapilot. It’s been a pleasure.”

“I’ll see you on the other side.” Alex looked at you and saluted before shaking Nigel’s hand and getting whisked off into the sky.

“Penny Fixit, thanks for all your help.” You took Nigel’s hand and shook it, and once again you streamed away in a ribbon of green light.

When you came to, the five of you that had gone in together were all in the basement of the school again. You looked around a bit, but Alex wasn’t anywhere in sight.

“Where’s Alex?” You asked. The others looked around too, but their new friend wasn’t there. Fridge watched as your expression sank.

“You alright, little sis?” He walked closer to you.

You nodded and pretended you would be okay. “Yeah. I’m fine.”

The group finished up most of the detention project and then started walking home. All of you had decided to stop by the Freak House just to...check. It was different. Painted bright white and decorated for Christmas. It looked...normal.

You weren’t sure what this meant. There was a car parked in the driveway, and the front gate was open, so you all walked up the front path to the door and rang the doorbell. Alex’s dad opened the door. He looked a lot younger and a lot healthier than you remembered.

“You must be Alex’s friends. I’ll go get him. He’s upstairs. Come on in.” He opened the door and all of you walked inside, looking around. It was nice inside. Normal. Furnished and painted and full of paintings and family portraits. Footsteps tracked down the stairs and you almost couldn’t bring yourself to look, but you did.

Alex ran down the steps so fast he almost tripped. He was wearing a red and white baseball shirt, his black hair framing a youthful face. He was taller than you, built well, and really cute. Immediately, you found yourself crushing. Not that you hadn’t been already.

“Alex,” You almost whispered.

He smiled, taking a few steps forward. “I was afraid it would spit me out right where I started.” His fingers brushed the hair out of your face.

“Bro,” Fridge was about to pull him off of his sister, but Spencer put a hand on his arm to stop him.

“Welcome to the future.” you laughed.

“I’ve got a lot to catch up on.”

“I think I can help you out.” You smirked as he pulled you in for a long-awaited kiss. Alex may have been your strength, but as far as he was concerned, the feeling was mutual.

I need to scream about Reunited. just a lil. spoilers under cut.

AAAAAAA

I totally thought we were shaping up for a Mr. Greg-esque musical there for a sec. that was an incredible opening, and I’m glad they’re not just wrapping up the angst all nice and neat, and actually acknowledging that even tho they’d all like to move on, things are difficult to accept.

her updooo awwww

Ruby and Sapphire just generally being rly cute preparing for their wedding?? god I love their dialogue and how they giggle at eachother. makes you realise how often tv Doesn’t write relationships well.

Peridot’s little sundreeeeess!! also this intense curtsy dhfjg summer mood

(I totally thought Sapphire was breaking a glass under her foot and not ice.. . . .)

OH SHE

they love eachother sO MUCH and also Ruby tearing through the aisle and Greg having to speed up his playing is adorable and funny, a+ Content episode.

LOOK

god the cartoons I watched growing up only had fleeting references to same gender relationships, if at all, and even that one great Courage episode w/ the lesbian cat and bunny had to settle for ‘best friends forever’ and no kisses. I’m so thrilled for Gen Z kids to have this be completely everyday content.

the second they showed Mayor Dewey and Jamie alone at the table I rly thought there was gonna be an affectionate look or hug between the two there omg? but the dance was great too. the 3 total Dewmies are gonna be stoked.

also hhh Garnet scooping up Steven and them hugging, she’s such a mum, I love her. I missed Garnet. and her visor is yellow now?? what does it meeean

so like uh since Bismuth caught the bouquet and everything is foreshadowing, who is she marrying.

the Cluster is hORRIFYING and sinewy, but at least they’re cool! I love the little thumbs up so much.

(Ronaldo the Weeb charging at the Diamonds w/ his katana is gold ok)

(0.5 seconds after an entire house gets crushed) “I CAN FIX IT” bless Bismuth

CAT STEVEN there she issss. this poor baby has been through a lot. also I still love Greg doing anything.

YE LAPIS just casually dropping a whole building from the moon there.

I TOTALLY thought Steven got poofed there and was gonna reform as something Pink Diamond-like to convince them oh my god.

god Blue Diamond’s voice is so unsettling. hearing her comforting, gentle Irish accent while she talks about how she’s going destroy everyone is some creepy dissonance.

the preview implies that the Diamonds didn’t know that their attack would cause corruption apparently? Oh that’s gonna be more guilt for Blue, judging by that scene of Centipeetle crawling out (also yay Centipeetleeee).

ANYWAY so uh jeez that was a Bomb. the Best One so far honestly, and the wait for a resolution on this is gonna kill me. inevitable White Diamond reveal aside, that battle was so big, and the impact of (mostly) everyone coming back so great, that I’m guessing SU is coming to an end p soon? and honestly, I’m happy w/ that.

5 seasons, and maybe a 6th (or a series of specials)? for the final arc is good enough, and I wouldn’t want it to constantly attempt bigger and better things like.. Another show I enjoy. besides, the Crewinverse have had this planned out for years and I’m sure they know exactly what they’re doing, so that prob is gonna be how it pans out.

even tho it’ll be sad to say goodbye to it (it’s the first show I’ve ever stuck w/ since the pilot days!), I’ll be glad to see another cartoon w/ a satisfying conclusion like Gravity Falls and Avatar. <3
