look I ain’t here to say whether #hiddleswift is real or if it ain’t

all I am saying is that if two beautiful celebs for real decided to make out in public, meet each other’s parents, cuddle at parties and wear cutsie shirts just to make an elaborate point about slut shaming and celebrity culture

I ain’t never gonna need a new au idea ever again

Writing Fanfic: One Weird Trick

This short series will actually cover a couple of neat tricks. Things that you can pull off in fanfic specifically that are hard if not impossible to do in an original story.

…Unless you’re a show like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,

which ran long enough and was willing to poke good fun at itself so well that it could pull these off. Hats off to them.

Trick #1: The AU Villain Side-Eye.

Canon establishes a Villain. Possibly several Villains, depending on the storyline. So what happens if you put those villains into a completely different setting? They don’t have to stay villains, do they? After all, if they became villains because of a bad case of situational ethics, and the situation changes….

You’d think so. You really would. But all fanfic has canon holding up a mirror in the background. Or maybe a better analogy might be tinted spotlights: it colors everything. No matter how innocent your AU villain looks, readers will suspect him of Evil.

You can use this to play with your readers, as long as you play fair.

First, though, you have to make a decision, and stick to it. Is your villain innocent, or not?

Then you need to scatter a few clues in the text. Small incidents, that don’t have to be crucial to the main story. Just chances to show your “villain” as appearing kind, or selfish, or even indifferent, when whatever he steps in and meddles with is of no personal benefit to him. You can go so far as to use the “kitten up a tree” ploy; since your readers are expecting Character X to be a villain, any rescue can be brushed off with “of course he’s just acting nice!”

If the character actually is a villain in this AU, nothing else is necessary. If, however, they’re really a secret hero, or even just a decent guy-

Then you have a lot more work to do. Because you have to convince your readers Character X had a change of heart, and do it plausibly.

You’re going to have to dig deep, deep into what motivates this specific character to make it convincing. Why are they a villain? Do they have a blood feud with Character Y? Do they loathe all the hero stands for? Are they just plain garden-variety sociopaths?

Dig into the canon motives, and as much as you know of the canon events, that made them a villain. Then decide what would plausibly make them change their mind.

Most important of all, show that in the story. Flashbacks, dream sequences, an impassioned speech in a moment of crisis, even the rewritten event itself. Let your reader see how the character could make another choice than canon. A betterchoice.

This honestly may be simplest with sociopathic villains, if you can give them a self-interested reason not to be sadistic. Which may be a changed relationship with other heroic characters. As one Xue Yang AU fic put it, if you can’t manage your own moral compass, store-bought is just fine.

Next time: Fanfic and culture clashes!

you know the moment that happens in most clichés: the accidental spill of coffee on someone’s shirt and providing a shirt to them. well, what if the coffee spilled on both of person aandperson b’s shirts? and that they have to buy a new shirts for each other because they don’t have extra clothing on them? oh, look there’s a 2 for 1 sale! HEY, LET’S MATCH OUTFITS-

person a has bad eye sight; like really bad and they can’t see most things without their trusty glasses. person b decides to give person a an eye test. person b writes something down on a piece of paper and tests person a. of course, person a can’t read shit and has to squint or complain that person b was too far away. then suddenly, person b moves closer to person a, fully aware that person a can see properly now, and asks them to read the paper aloud. person a smiles and whispers an ‘i love you too’ as person b shoves the piece of paper in person a’s stupid looking face.

y'all know the famous ‘confident gay and panic gay.’ but have you ever heard of 'panic gay and panic gay’, it’s basically panic gay². person a andperson b are the literate definition of it.

a day when person a felt a small wave of confidence flow through their body and decided to do a bold move towards person b.person b was shamelessly staring at person a and as they got out of their trance; person a sneaked in a wink at them. awkward stares ensues. now, person b is a puddle of bashfulness and person a is internally screaming out of embarrassment.

mental illness sucks and the only way for person a to calm it down is to listen to music: on the highest volume; to drown deep inside the soft hums and well-thought lyrics. whats weird is that person a is also clumsy and theyre very surprised that they never bump into anything whenever theyre lost in the music. well, until they bumped into a street lamp. a visible, throbbing bump on their head and then, they meet their soulmate: person b, who rushes over to person a asking if they want to come over so they can treat it. of course, stunned by person b’s beauty and kindness: person a delightfully nods until they remember how much pain it did to move it because of the bump; and yet, it doesnt really hurt due to the soft giggles from person b.

‘I’m a mermaid who’s finally learnt how to change to human form, and of course I need shoes and socks now! Those human things look so fun, I need all of them, but apparently sand coins aren’t a currently on land! It was so lucky that you saw me struggle with the currency and bought a pair for me, and of course I want to try this coffee thing with you!’ au

‘You’re a staff member at this roller-rink I go to often and the only way I’ve gotten your attention before was by falling on the rink so I decided to purposely fall and I guess that a dislocated ankle is a bit over the top, but at least I got your number’ au

‘We’re both fairly new farmers in town, but I’m working at a thriving farm on great land with a lot of servants and outside help and you’ve inherited a really bad farm overrun with weeds and rocks, and I was just coming by to say hello, but you’re really charming and I feel sorta bad for you now, you wanna work together?’ au

“I’m just your ordinary villager and I thought it’d be fun to talk to the newest traveller in town–wait, a dragon in disguise? Me? Pshaw, no, why would you even suggest it, okay that fire-breathing thing only happened once, and please don’t slay me I don’t like conflict– wait, what’s this about a quest you need help on?” au

(submitted by @lakeofrage27​)

‘Look, I just meant to turn invisible and follow you to set up a prank in your apartment, I didn’t mean to find out about your tragic backstory, but CRAP, my sudden strong emotions made my invisibility fail right as you turned to where I was, how do I explain this?’ au

commanders-sole-braincell:

Okay I know we all like to write our Commanders in relationships cuz it’s fun, sweet and our right gdi

But, consider from a story perspective… what if all of dragons watch slowly leave. Slowly enter relationships, and leave - like Rox did - the Commander cant be angry with them; they want them to be happy, they fought so this world can be happy, so their friends can be happy!

But years down the line, Dragons Watch is just… the Commander. They go by Champion now - considered both Tyrias most eligible single, and someone too untouchable to be real. To be loved. Their friends visit them and Aurene when they can, but they have lives outside of fighting now. Romances, spouses, children. And the Commander has to face this world bitterly bitterly alone.

1. Find out if you have a guardian angel.
   
2. Look for signs. White feathers, flashes of light, or symbols in the clouds. 
   
3. If you find a white feather, do not keep it or you will scare her. 
   
4. Do not play hard to get. Play easy to catch. Jump off a building 
   
5. Your guardian angel usually disappears immediately after saving you. 
   
6. Never wear perfume.
   
7. Gradually make your activities more dangerous. She loves danger. Start off slow. Keep her coming back for more.
   
8. After a few times, she will linger around a little longer to rebuke you. Catch her off-guard. Ask her out. 
   
9. There is also a possibility she is very annoyed and filed the necessary paperwork to be assigned to someone else. Carefully assess if you still have a guardian angel before doing anything dangerous.
   
10. If she wants to go on a date with you, go do something dangerous. She will most likely tell you she will not be protecting you to test your courage. Do not worry. She will always protect you. I suggest you go cloud jumping.
    
11. Ask her out on a second date.
    
12. Avoid danger for some time. Let her wonder.
    
13. Smell your pillow. If it smells heavenly, she was definitely there last night.
    
14. As time goes by, and you have avoided danger for long enough, she will start appearing for things that are not dangerous at all. ‘Food poisoning’ or ‘the road is slippery’ are often used excuses. In such cases, ask her out for dinner, or let her ride shotgun.
    
15. Ask if you may hold her hand. Feel how your heart grows warmer almost instantly.
    
16. Tell her about yourself. Ask her questions. Have fun.
    
17. Lean in for a kiss. When you close your eyes and touch her lips, a million stars will fall inside your head. You can now make a wish. She knows this. Wish to see her again. She will smile and give you another kiss.

iv)     It started to snow and I’m the only one of our friends who would go outside with you – I soon found out why none of the others would go out in the snow with you (this works best if they’re new friends who don’t know each other all that well) when you shoved a handful of snow down my back and declared snow war

v)      It’s nowhere near Christmas it’s literally still November would you calm down about Christmas wait no why are you getting the tree out no stop please stop (if you do this pre-relationship you can have the grouchy one secretly finding the other’s excitement endearing and falling in love with them actually that works for established relationship too)

Okay I could go on forever but this is over 1,500 words of auing already I have too many ideas christ

send me some to @theskyis-forever with a pairing for me to write :)

Brain, please stop getting TB AU ideas!

Brain: OK but what if we went a little darker and a little less hopeful and things hadn’t gone well for everyone. What if Ryker was more militaristic, and Lora was the Mean cop, and Ives was more bounty hunter terrifying, and Garnet & Valetta were vigilantes/part of an underground ring (and she was more cyborg), and Beau was more strict to his job? What if there was like BladeRunner vibes?? And Beau & Garnet were cat & mouse??? And Ives and Ryker were the Big Bad????

Stop, stop, stop before I wanna write this!!

I never posted this doodle cos I didn’t really like how it turned out but with all of these #lukanette feels flying around I thought “why not??”

This is from an au idea I had ages ago. I haven’t done anything with it but here are the notes I had saved on my phone:

AU where Luka got the ladybug miraculous (he already has the pierced ears) and Marinette got the black cat miraculous. (Then later Adrien gets the turtle miraculous cos hes all about protecting his gal. )

In this au Luka returned home sooner from his study abroad. He was running late to school when he saw Fu fall and helped him get up. Adrien didnt make it far enough out of the mansion before being caught, so he never had the chance to run into him. Fu slipped Luka the miraculous and its later at home that Luka discovers the ladybug earrings and Tikki. Tikki and Luka get along really well and Luka is fairly mature for his age. The biggest problem they face in their relationship is that Luka and his family can’t bake for beans. Once Luka learns what Tikki eats he panics a bit. He asks Juleka for help and she points him towards Marinettes family’s bakery. It’s practically love at first sight for both Luka and Tikki. Tikki adores Marinette right away and can’t help but feel that Fu made a mistake when handing out the Miraculous. Luka and Tikki become regular customers and come by the bakery at least once a day. Luka is always hinting to Juleka that her friends (especially Marinette) should come hang out at their boat more often. Luka becomes Scarlet Beatle (he thinks the spelling is a nice nod towards his musical roots but really hes the only one who spells it that way)

Marinettes origin story is pretty similar to canon except now she has a sassy cat to boost her confidence and teach her to stand up for her convictions and screw the consequences. This is both a good and bad thing as Marinette now tends to get into more complicated and slightly ridiculous situations. Marinette still considers giving away the miraculous but Plagg tells her off and asks her whether or not she can really just sit by as everything around her is destroyed by hawkmoth. Marinette uses her destructive powers well but is much better at the planning and using the lucky charms than Scarlet Beatle. This drives Tikki a bit insane, Tikki loves Luka but shes super jealous that Plagg got Marinette.

Adrien is allowed to go to school after his almost escape and the gum incident still happens. Adrien feels awful and tries to apologize but Marinette has trouble believing him. After Adrien and Nino become friends, Adrien confides in him a bit about his current situation and how the gum incident really went down. Plagg happened to have been snooping in Adriens bag at the time and overheard. Plagg feels for the kid and non chalantly tells Marinette what’s up. Marinette apologizes to Adrien and they become awkward almost friends. Adrien is constantly trying to prove himself and Marinette feels bad that she blew things out of proportion and tends to screw up around him.

This all changes when Marinette saves some of her classmates as Félin Noir. Before Marinette could escape to transform, alot of the students were cornered. Adrien jumped in to protect them and give them time to escape and ended up falling victim to the akuma. After the day was saved the classmates swarmed Scarlet Beatle to thank him and Adrien stayed off to the side looking glum. Félin came up and asked him what was wrong and Adrien said that he was basically useless and he couldnt even protect his friends. Félin gives him a peptalk and calls him a hero. She then runs off to detransform. Cue Adrien falling head over heels for the heroine. (He probably would have had a crush on Marinette had he not been convinced she hated him. At this point hes working so hard to be friends with her that the thought of having a romance with her hasn’t crossed his mind.) Marinette detransforms in an alley and her and Plagg both agree that Adrien is a really good guy. Plagg then ruins the moment by suggesting that Marinette steal his phone. Marinette wants to get closer to Adrien but still has trouble talking to him in her civilian form. When shes out as Félin though Marinette doesnt have as much trouble talking to him and after saving him a couple times and having him protect her a time or two creates a pretty good relationship with him. She calls him kitten and they joke and pun back and forth. Marinette starts to develop a crush on him and Plagg becomes the biggest Adrienette shipper on the planet.

That however is where the love drama starts. Luka is in love with Marinette and Tikki is all for that Marinette train. Marinette is caught between liking her kind and supportive partner Scarlet Beatle and the protective sun child Adrien. Plagg is again all for that sweet Adrienette and will often sabotage Lukas (and consequently Tikkis) attempts at wooing Marinette. Meanwhile Adrien is head over heels for Felin.

Things get even more complicated later on. Hawkmoth has gotten more aggressive in his attacks and Fu determines that another miraculous holder is necessary. Fu was present for Felins hero speech and his hero senses went crazy for Adrien. Adrien is the first hero that Fu approaches directly. Fu becomes Adriens Chinese teacher so that they can meet in private and he starts teaching Adrien about the miraculous. Because of Adriens protective nature Fu entrusts Adrien with the turtle miraculous. Adrien joins the group and becomes the shield for team miraculous. Adrien and Scarlet Beatle get into it a bit though. Adrien feels that Scarlet isnt showing enough thought and care to Felin as Felin seems to take alot of the blows for him (similar to how chat noir does in canon) Adrien sticks pretty close to Felin and protects her. Being by his crush that much though causes Adrien to kind of clam up. He gets along well with the team but doesnt say a ton, especially at first.

Anyway that’s all I’ve got (besides a couple of cruddy phone doodles) just figured I might as well post it somewhere ‍♀️
