Who The Hell Gave Them Anything Besides 5 Stars 😤

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -

enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.

and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

More reasons why Zuko being the Firelord is objectively the funniest thing on earth:

HES SEVENTEEN

He hasn’t been civilised in 4 years, his entire teenage experience consists of living on a boat and sleeping rough. The most stable bed he has was probably in Ba Sing Se he probably will just nap anywhere.

He has customer service experience which means he probably uses his customer service voice on his minsters.

Additionally he probably just wanders into to kitchen to get his own snacks and tea because he forgets what servants do.

He probably has no idea why he can’t just chase after an assassin he used to hunt the avatar for Agnis sake why is the captain of the guard demanding he stay in his room he’ll find the guy first (he’s probably right)

Katara probably has a free pass on Eco terrorism because what’s he going to do challenge her, she’ll beat his ass.

If he saw a minster doing something shady he will either invite lady Beifong to detect their BS or commit B&E and look for evidence himself.

He somehow found a baby dragon and raises it.

He will be far to willing to give Kyoshi island anything they want cause he feels bad and Suki scares him.

He randomly insisted on giving some earth kingdom village 100 ostrich horses.

The Avatar will just show up call him Hotman and demand the go on adventures and the Firelord will just dip because he’s been confined to long and has the Zoomies.

He takes far to much advice from Sokka and will genuinely believe if someone doesn’t get Sokkas plans they must be an idiot because Sokka is 16.

Sokka and Zuko also get into a lot of teenage rebellion phases by accident.

Toph just walks in breaks a wall of his palace and demands a field trip that always involves the Firelord having to explain himself to the cops.

He somehow knows every dangerous teen in the world and they all come for tea uninvited.

He has broken into both the NWT and Ba Sing Se.

He has a really well documented facial scar and official portraits but still disappears to be Lee the tea guy like no one knows.

HES SEVENTEEN.

Heartslabyul as Alice in Wonderland characters

I'm aware that them being the Queen of Hearts and card soldiers are more or less canon but this is just my fun little take on it!

Riddle - Queen of Hearts -Obviously?? It's canon

Trey - Mad Hatter -Another popular take -Notice how he's the only Heartslabyul member that wears a hat? At least from what I remember -He's definitely mad simply because he seems like the most sane in a place where no one is -Also he bakes for (and probably by default organizes) the tea parties, which is something the Mad Hatter literally does.

Cater - Caterpillar -Shocked I've never seen anyone say this -First of all the name is similar, CATER-pillar. Idk man I think that means something -Second, they're both the most chill characters in the show/game. -None are too relevant and aren't seen much, but they always have the details of what's happening around them.

Deuce - White Rabbit -I've always thought this, and that one event solidified it for me -Very fast paced, a bit all over the place and very panicky -Deuce is in the Track club. The White Rabbit literally spends the whole story running. -Dedicated to their jobs or given tasks -Looks up to their Queen, even though they don't really agree with them. (It's more of a fear thing)

Ace - Alice -Lowkey the reason I made this, though I think this is a well known take?? -Again, similarity in names -Spends first half of the book thinking "what the fuck?" which is pretty accurate -Very audacious, I mean bro went against the Queen and his morals within his first few meetings (literally Alice-coded guys) -Also spends the first book sort of following Deuce around (he was the one following Deuce I'm telling you). That's also another reason as to why Deuce is the White Rabbit btw.

I know a lot of people consider the MC as Alice but you see, Heartslabyul is not the only fairy tale we get pushed into. I see MC as a more narrator/reader role in all this. Emphasis on Reader role bc we literally get dreams of the stories and we're mostly watching it happen as it goes.

Headcanons for my Teenage Dirtbag AU!!!!

(A lot of these will be Darius-centric, he's my favourite character leave me alone)

Darius has one of those old man leather wallets and keeps a group photo of the hagsquad in it

Eda and Raine are Partners In Crime™️ and it drives Darius up the wall

Lilith hasn't yet left for the Emperor's Coven, but everytime she gets roped into irresponsible shenanigans by the gang she starts panicking that it will "end up on her record" and stop her from moving up the ranks

Darius is the most responsible of the group and so ends up having to talk his way into getting them off scot-free whenever they do less-than-legal stuff

Raine grew their hair out just a little over their collar and Darius never stops making fun if it

"... shit." "Not as shit as whatever the hell you did to your hair." "Oh fuck off-" etc.

Darius had a vErY EmBarRaSIng cRuSh on Alador before they actually got together and no-one will let it go

"I'm meeting up with Alador later and-" "OooOOoo going on a date with your boyfriend?!?!" "S-SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Pre-Aladarius, Eda and Raine once cornered Alador and interrogated him abt his feelings for Darius (Alador was terrified)

Eda had a crusty old flip-scroll that was so cracked it barely turned on from her throwing it around constantly

Darius bitches and bickers with everyone sm people think he hates the hagsquad even though they're all literally his best friends

If you have any questions abt this au btw I am SO ready to ramble lmao

i love the term “found family” because it can mean anything from “over the course of our epic adventure we gradually came to realize that we had found the loving home and family we were all searching for in each other” to “i woke up in the same dumpster as this troop of idiots who immediately forcibly inserted themselves into my life despite my loud and repeated objections and increased the amount of problems in it by 200% less than a week ago but i’m already prepared to die for every single one of them without hesitation”

Who the hell chose anything besides 5 stars

when it’s time for kageyama to pick a best man he asks if it can be hinata because he’s never been in a situation where he’s had to pair up and hasn’t picked hinata to be his partner. unfortunately hinata breaks it to kageyama that no, he can’t be his best man because hinata will be busy being the groom.

kageyama ends up picking suga, but only after asking if it can be no one. so suga is kageyama’s third choice best man after his husband and no one

Also, here's a sneak peak of a wip ive got. It's purely pjo but it is based on the idea I brought up in my James Bond/pjo crossover where Hyacinthus was brought back by Gaia. It's set after Blood of Olympus but before trials of Apollo (👀). I'm planning it as a one shot but who knows with me, I might make a second part,

Anyway, here's the start, might change when published idk yet

"Where is he?" Hyacinthus asked as he looked over the sea at the edge of the Island of Delos, sitting beneath the trees, still weary of the Sun. Because the sun means him and he cannot know.

"I don't know." A voice answered behind him, "father sent him away after our battle against the Giants," she paused and Hyacinthus heard her soft footsteps on the grass coming towards him. "It's been over two weeks, and I have not heard anything from him, nor felt a single impression of him." She swallowed, "especially in the Sun."

Hyacinthus turned to Artemis, "he hasn't been driving the chariot?" 

Artemis shook her head, "it's only the other Sun gods doing their duties. Sol, Freyr, Amaterasu and the others."

"But no Apollo." 

Artemis nodded, "but no Apollo." 

Hyacinthus looked back over the sea, watching as the sunlight glistened over the water, his heart heavy. By the Fates it wasn't fair. Haven't they been through enough?

"I will find him." Artemis vowed, "I will not rest until I know my twin is safe."

With that statement, Hyacinthus felt her presence disappear. Hanging his head, he sighed and stood up before walking out of the cover of the leaves into the light of the sun. Finally feeling the warmth he hasn't felt on his human skin in millennia. 

"Where are you?" He whispered, absorbing the sun's warmth he denied himself after being brought back months ago. A warmth he once took such comfort in now only brought pain.
