The thing about being a highschool white boy is you'll pull up to the function and the other two people are also highschool white boys. One of them is wearing the same shorts you wore yesterday, you have the same name as the other, and all of you could be mistaken for each other at a glance.

I’ve been watching Andor with my family and we tend to give new characters nicknames before bothering to learn their actual name. (Or sometimes never actually learning them 😅)

We’ve got Percy for Syril (for Percy Weasley, who was not as bad as Syril, but was very invested in the government being right like Syril is), Nemik was Hobbit (I literally had to look up what his actual name was, to give you an idea of how much we use this nickname), Dedra’s assistant is Ghoul (sorry but he was literally gray when we first met him), and Timm got his actual name but was always some variation of Two M Timm, or Timm With Two Ms. Needlessly making a name longer can be fun.

Edit: I forgot Santa Claus! Aka Cinta Kaz. After the heist when we weren’t sure she survived leaving the planet, and we were joking that there wouldn’t be any Christmas presents from Santa Claus this year.

Actual AU Ideas

So besides all of the backstory from the previous post and the confrontation between the MC/Dawn/Akari and Volo and Giratina, here are a few of my ideas for the story proper:

EDIT: Some/most of this is retconned. too lazy to go through it. What’s changed is mentioned in later posts

- MC is part of a race a sort of meta ‘spirit’ being that exists outside of time and space and the world the games take place in proper. The person you play as in every game(May/Dawn/Serena/Akari/Gold) acts as an avatar for these beings and every past life can be connected to in order to keep pokemon partners they had even when those pokemon literally can’t be found in those regions

- Again, this is a very meta thing and I’m just trying to make pseudo canon about how the mc/self-insert remembers all of those past adventures/did all of those things even tho by the Legends Arceus timeline those things haven’t happened yet

- Time outside the ‘games’ isn’t linear like it is inside of the games, so MC going from the future to the past isn’t weird

- Arceus(coughgamefreakcough) is in charge of these beings, and sends them to each world to so they can save the world from disaster. They technically are all born and raised in the world they go to, but their lives go by in the blink of an eye until they reach the point they need to for the story of the game, and their lives technically continue after they withdraw from that time

- Sometimes these ‘players’ lose or even abandon their connections to their past lives, and even if they don’t they aren’t always allowed to recall their old pokemon into their current possession until after the danger has been dealt with

- The Sinjoh event in canon where you make one of the creation trio isn’t making a second copy of them, but is actually making the original and the same one that appears in all game. These legendaries are like the player and are not bound by the game world’s linear timeline, so they can technically be created within the universe they would later help to create

- Wibbly-wobbly something meta, it’s all canon, you get the idea

- Anyway, MC gets request from Arceus to go to ancient Hissui. Only this time instead of being given the task to seek out all pokemon, they are asked to right a wrong from their past

- MC had lost her connection with her old past self and genuinely has forgotten everything from before that point, but slowly remembers as time goes on

- Story goes as normal until MC encounters distortions which bring back a few of her old lost pokemon and pokemon from different regions that AREN’T supposed to be appearing in Hissui. A shiny Weavile that was an old friend, and other pokemon like Venipede and Furfrou

I just like the idea of really messing up established canon and feel like Distortions should break reality more. That being said, I don’t know how much of the actual story of Legends Arceus to focus on or manipulate since right now the Giratina conflict is my main focal point. Do I do a long build up to it, or rush to it? What’s the story after?

#Wayward son au #you know writing it all at makes me realize just how batsh*t it all sounds #I will definitely be mulling it over more so these points are subject to change #I just want Akari to know who Giratina is even tho technically Lyra helped make him #you know #in the future #not confusing at all #Wayward Son #Wayward Souls AU

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.

But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.

The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.

This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.

Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.

So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-

And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—

And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!

If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.

The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.

It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)

I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.

I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.

The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win

#November 5th #november 5 2020 #the fifth of november #just a random ramble #November 5th 2020 is such an important day to me #it really is a holiday #but it does confuse me when I see people analyzing it primarily as a supernatural thing #instead of a ‘hysteria over an election reaches a breaking point when inane zero stakes fandom news comes out and we all latch onto it’thing #but yeah!!#this is my personal essay out of love for the holiday

why aren't there more mysteries that take place in nursing homes & retirement communities. i want to watch a group of deranged retirees-cum-amateur-detectives combine their powers of:

decades of life experience

boredom-fueled busybody shamelessness

access to the most gossipy next-door-neighbors in existence

"I am too old to be arrested and/or give a shit" attitude

and solve crimes. this should be an enormous subgenre.

#their sidekick/Watson/pet hacker is a 15 year old grandkid who hangs out with gram gram on the weekends #her only power is that she has above average search engine skills and flexible knees #which is completely sufficient to round out the group's skill set #they involve her in heist style operations #on the rare occasion she gets caught housebreaking she explains her grandma locked herself out of the condo and asked for help getting in #then this sweet slightly addled old lady shows up and explains she got the address mixed up #it's so confusing when you're old & all the houses look alike and oh she's so sorry to have caused so much trouble #and meanwhile the teenager is rolling her eyes bc she's aware gram gram was a career criminal & con artist for 50 years #anyway gimme a 80-year-old con artist turned amateur sleuth who loves getting older because people are less suspicious of little old ladies #this all takes place in florida naturally

Ok but au where Jason had vitiligo or poliosis since he was a kid and always had the white hair streak but just dyed it when he was with Bruce so as to not give away Robins identity. Stops doing that after he died cuz there wasn’t really a point. Somehow the rest of the family (minus Bruce) didn’t even KNOW he has poliosis/vitiligo and just assumes it’s a death thing

This leads to many confusing conversations

#Cass gets very upset when she comes out of the Lazarus pit with no cool hair streak #dick once bought him a shirt saying #“I died and all I got was this cool hairdo #much to Jason’s confusion #text post #dc #dc comics #jason Todd #red hood #batfamily #batfam #Batman

I hate correcting customers who call me ma'am and miss and honey over the phone, because only about 30 percent of the time do they apologize and start calling me sir, while 70 percent of the time they double down assuming I was trans and continue misgendering me on purpose to show how little respect they have for me as a human being. "Thank you, MISS."

I'm a cis man, for the record.

Whenever I correct someone and they keep it up, I simply refuse service. "Oh, I'm sorry, we're completeley booked up the day you wanted. Yeah, no, we're booked up on your backup dates too. Looks like our next opening isn't until, hmm, mid-November. Oh, but it doesn't have enough beds for your party. We could probably fit you in around New Years, but you'd have to change rooms every day. You might wanna try [more expensive motel] a few blocks north of us, they might have vacancies. Have a good day."

I've been able to dodge what few complaints we've gotten so far because they all tell my boss that they just spoke to a very nasty woman, and she has no idea who they're talking about. "You must have dialed the wrong number, because I'm the only woman here, and I didn't talk to you." That PISSES THEM OFF, and she doesn't understand why they respond with "well we've been staying there for years, but we're never coming back." They think she's protecting me, an afab trans man, and are disgusted by it, but from her perspective they're just crazy people who are complaining about made up bullshit; it doesn't even cross her mind that they're talking about me. Why would it?

My boss is like 70 or 75, and was a Republican until 2016. It's never come up in conversation, but something tells me she wouldn't exactly be a trans ally. I'm in a weird position here, and it's hilarious.

Prompt:

Tim is the first to find out the Red Hood’s identity and from then on sticks to Jason during patrol like glue (much to Jason’s chagrin, dammit, it would feel wrong to beat up Robin when he’s that starry eyed…)

Cue: PANIC from the rest of the Batfamily, who still think Hood is a forty-something year old crime lord and now assume they’re dating.
