Looking through my old notes again, I found a brief bit where a friend of mine (@lilacnothlit) and I discussed an Animorphs bodyswap fic. Details: The narrator was going to be Tobias. The bodyswap was caused by a Yeerk plot device that was supposed to interfere with the morphing ability - possibly a revisit of the Anti-Morphing Ray in a new form, or a Morph Scrambler, or something to that effect. Rachel and Ax switch bodies. Ax is terrible at being a teenage girl, but Naomi is busy with a case and Rachel's little sisters think Rachel acting funny is hilarious, so no danger there. Rachel hates having to live in the woods, so she promptly acquires herself with Ax's help and can be herself 2 hours at a time. Long enough for shopping trips at the mall, doing damage control at home. and hanging out with Tobias. Cassie and Jake switch bodies. Both are too embarrassed by the situation to do anything but put their noses to the grindstone and get through it. Luckily for them, Jake was already a fixture at Cassie's barn every other day anyways, so no one raises an eyebrow when "Jake" comes over to help "Cassie" with medicating the animals and mucking out the barn. Tobias and Marco switch bodies. This is where most of the problems arise, as neither of them is even remotely prepared for the kind of life the other leads. Tobias is also frustrated because the Side Plot involves yet another hawk threatening to take over Tobias's meadow, and Marco cannot, will not defend the meadow because he doesn't know how. Where Tobias valiantly and nobly exiled himself to the woods to live as a wild bird, Marco hangs out with Cassie and Jake all day, eating hamburger and watching television and doing his best impression of a teenage boy even though he's currently a bird and weighs 3 pounds soaking wet.

We never quite figured out a resolution. Maybe the device screwed with Visser Three's morphing ability too, so the Yeerks have to undo it and accidentally help the Animorphs in the process. Maybe the Animorphs manage to hold themselves together for a mission, steal the device, and get Erek and/or Ax to reverse it. I do know the Animorphs still being able to acquire their original bodies from each other and pretend to be themselves 2 hours at a time makes things easier, though.

adding one more to the "aitsf sketches i'll finish At Some Point" pile

Maybe it’s my fear of not being believed but I literally can’t do comedy where the other person isn’t being believed. Straight up, at first I would get stressed when the Human Centipede clip was going around. Like, do you know how terrifying it is to be in a wild ass date where you think you’re in danger and the waiter notices but has they have to open their mouth so now you have lie. Or the Elmo Rocko memes like, OF COURSE ELMO’S DISTRESSED! I WOULD BE TOO! LIKE EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THIS ROCK IS REAL WHEN IT’S NOT(and like yah I’m sure there’s nuance to the situation but like COME ON).

Or Bibi from La Familia Peluche, I remember liking the show as kid and I still do but like, fuck man, the borderline emotional abuse than girl goes through IS WILD. LIKE EVERYONE FUCKING TELLING YOU THAT YOU’RE NOT NORMAL AND FEELING LIKE YOU’RE GOING CRAZY. I remember rewatching La Familia Peluche in Highschool and like fuck man, that period episode. Or to this day I remember the scene where they were serving food and she started to eat first and her family chastised her so she stops but then they make her feel back cause she already started so now she just continue to eat it and like I’ve literally been in a similar situation. And for those who haven’t watched the show, the whole shitck is that this is an absurd world where everyone works on a different level and Bibi’s the only who reacts normally to our eyes(the comedic straight man to alot of the jokes), which leads to the iconic line “Bibi porque no eres una niña normal”(Bibi why aren’t you a normal girl) that is said in every episode. Which from a dramatic irony perspective that we the audience know she’s the only normal person, makes it a funny joke, but if you think about it too hard, it’s so fucking sad, I just can’t help but not fully enjoy the show cause I just constantly feel bad for her.

Fuck even watching HALF LIFE VR BUT THE AI IS SELF AWARE FUCKS WITH ME! Like yes I very much enjoy the series! But, most of the time I’m just feeling bad for Gordon, like fuck man, I’d react the same way, wouldn’t you. Like ESPECIALLY BENRY! MAN DID HE STRESS ME OUT! I genuinely felt so bad for Gordon!

And then this slides into how I can’t enjoy alot of comedy(especially cringe humor) cause even though I understand the joke and think it funny on paper, I just end up feeling too bad for the character to actually enjoy. And it’s awful because I’ll STILL watch the shows because I’m invested in the characters not the humor if that makes sense??? (Oh, Community/The Office, the hate love relationship I have with you).

Anyway, yes I’m so fun to watch comedy with, I literally can’t be in the same room from some scenes. And yes, all my favorite characters follow the Only Sane Man trope, why’d you ask?

Body swap au

At the same time, Danny died Jason was submerged in the pits. Their souls got mixed up and Danny woke up with an Assassins cult in Nanda Parbat and Jason woke up in a random lab in Illinois.

"oh no he did Doied's voice he's roleplaying"

Roier maybe if someone hadn't made Doied real and turned him into a separate character who swapped bodies with q!Roier MAYBE THEN NOBODY WOULD BE TRIGGERED AND SUSPECTING THINGS EH???!!

mirame a los ojos. me incomodó. /j

I'll add myself to the pool of ppl who (might delusionally) believe gojo ain't dead dead

i’ve scrolled through (most of, I keep specific filters on and refuse to take them off) the rottmnt tag on ao3 and I'm really sad that I havent come across the exact post-s2/movie disaster twin body-swap fic that lives in my head :/

like i want it to happen either cause of a mutant or cause mikey was practicing with his new mystic abilities and then just Chaos ensues

i want leo-as-donnie not knowing how to use the battle shells and accidentally wrecking a thing or two while donnie-as-leo panics

i want donnie having to tie together the long tails of leo’s bandana into a comically large bow cause they irritated him so much and leo threatened to lose his shit if donnie cut them short

i want leo refusing to draw on donnie’s signature eyebrows until they really start to fade and donnie essentially ties him to a chair and draws them on himself (or leo begrudgingly sits down one night and does them (they turn out bad but donnie appreciates it))

i want them feeling each other’s chronic pains. leo not realizing how much it hurts to have the battle shell on for as long as donnie usually has it on. and (specifically post movie) donnie feeling the chronic after effects of the krang’s onslaught when leo’s body has a chronic pain flare up (and since neither really complain about it both are like taken aback by how much pain their brother is in at any given point in time)

but most importantly i want a scene with both of them trying to teach each other their weapons because (for plot reasons) their specific nimpo powers didn’t follow them into their new bodies

so leo trying to teach donnie how to make portals and it going Not Well. like, raph having to make the rule “no one goes through the portal unless we can see the other one” bad. (they end up having to walk back from new jersey)

and donnie trying to teach leo how to summon tech using his bo and leo thinking it’s gonna be easy, just think of a cool rocket or something, and then donnie slaps down the schematics for something and tells him he essentially needs to know the ins and outs of anything he wants to make

and thats just the powers part of it. both of them having to learn the basics of using each weapon. leo doesn’t take it seriously at first but when he finally does donnie is surprised with how good he actually is at teaching (even if he doesn’t use the quote-unquote right terminology (“you gotta do a lil fancy footwork thing when you move like that” “feel the vibes, does it feel right?” etc)) donnie gets frustrated easily when he tries to teach leo (“no you do not swing a bo like a baseball bat!”) but leo eventually calms down and takes it serious(ly enough) for some of donnie’s lessons to get through

(at some point the boys try to play basketball and raph and mikey make them play on their own team and they get their asses hilariously handed to them.

until they play again after the scene(s) where they learn each other’s weapons and then they’re Simpatico (they still lose but not by as much))

and then the thing gets reversed somehow and they grow closer as brothers the end

One man's trash....

omg the tim/rhys body swap sounds SUPER fun 👀

[Oh this one is so self indulgent it almost hurts. Why not work on the whoops woke up wrong body scene, right? Classic.]

***

After he blinks the last bit of sleep from his eyes, it doesn't take long for Tim to recognize a couple of obvious problems with the room he’s woken up in. It's a standard Hyperion living quarters, way smaller than he’s used to, and absolutely papered with a distressing number of posters, nearly all of them featuring his face. Well, Jack's face? Though Timothy may very well have been the face model for any number of these posters, who can say?

Curiosity about the posters gives way pretty quickly to panic when he sits up in bed, only to discover he’s missing his entire right arm, all the way up to the shoulder.

Pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Albus Potter

Summary: Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy live very different lives from one another, but when time and fate gets intertwined and tangled, they find themselves magically swapping bodies and on a journey to meet each other for the first time. Meanwhile, a star approaches.

(Start Chapter 1)

Chapter 20: “Before he could respond, Albus paced up to where he was seated at his desk, swallowed down his nervousness, and put as much meaning into his next words as possible.

“You’ll be endangering Scorpius.”

“I…” Draco stammered, observing Albus’ pinched expression, his hostility.

You’d do it for Scorpius. I know you’d do anything for him. So would I. Please.”

Chapter 21: “Oh, if Scorpius could do it all over again, he wouldn’t be so cowardly. He wouldn’t think so much.

His last chance was now. It might as well have been presented to him on a gold platter. Scorpius had always had trouble with taking what he wanted. He always thought he had to deserve it first.

But his feet were aching and his ears were ringing and there was sweat dampening the back of his shirt and he didn’t give a shit about what he did and didn’t deserve anymore.”

all caught up with kingohger now!!!!

What isekai are you reading if you don’t mind me asking?

okay... but youre not allowed to make fun of me... its called "50 tea recipes from the duchess." korean woman gets fired, gets isekai'd into the body of a duchess who is timid to the point of patheticness and everybody fuckin hates her. is like uggghh well i dont care if im hated as long as i have my special interest: TEA. and with her autistic girl swag (label pending) she makes both the society and her cold intimidating husband love her. 70% of it is her infodumping about tea to the delight of everyone around her.

I! Love! Episodic! Shows!

I'm about to report every series First plays in to YouTube for harmful and dangerous acts because First's smile needs to be considered a deadly weapon.

That smile...

back to your regularly scheduled scroll

Another AU: David manages to read Merrick's real intentions (maybe she opens too much while being drunk?), and instead of the whole plot with Claudia's ghost, they perform a fully consensual body swap. (Wait, what? Yes, that.) Merrick is a vampire now (as she wanted!), David gets to live another human life (and a chance to find out if Tiresias was right, if you know what I mean). Lestat remains half-awake for another few decades without an emergency which would interrupt his beauty sleep. When he wakes up, HE ANGRY because David escaped and searches for him. And finds an old lady!David.

(Does Merrick have a chance to pass for David until Lestat woke up? 🤔 No one knows David well. Maybe Jesse won't be that easy to fool, but evading her is hardly a problem, she is barely present anywhere except for M&M's place. But Lestat - Lestat already mistook Raglan James in David's body for David, he might suspect something.)

So. What happens next? 🤔🤔🤔
