"People have names on pretend birthdays, too." "You could call yourself Ezra," "What's an Ezra?" "It's a very special name from a very special person. You could have him, if you'd like." "Can Ezra have the curliest hair?" "Of course he can." "... Ezra, with the Curliest Hair."
drawn for day 6 of the @june-doe-event - Swapped roles! I have an actual AU that I've been thinking about for the past week or two, and I'm going to talk about it below.
Ocean - The Most Imaginative Girl in Town. She's doomed from the start. she imagines a better world, a world where she's a leader and everything goes the way she wants it to. But in reality, she "will never leave this town at all," so to speak. During her time in the warehouse, she taps into the side of her in canon that feels distraught and helpless, the part that spirals into the "we're all just starfarts!" rhetoric. Due to her being so religious, she understands that this was the time for her to die, she's just having a REALLY hard time accepting it. She concedes not because she wants to, but because she knows this is her end. Her song is a poppy tune with secretly dismal lyrics about how no matter how hard you try, death is inevitable. Noel - The Most Ambitious Boy in Town. His ambitions to get to France are very strong in this AU. He works insanely hard to get out of Uranium. He didn't get to have a life where he was himself, poetic and out in the open, and that's his main drive for wanting to go back. I think his song is pretty much the same as in canon. Mischa - The Most Romantic Boy in Town. Mischa was adopted into a good adoptive family who decided they were going to give this obviously troubled teenager a safe, stable home. They provided him with a trusting, loving space, and his adoptive father taught him how to play the acoustic guitar. Mischa still finds Talia online through youtube and their relationship is the same. Instead of hip hop and rap, he mostly writes love songs and Ukrainian folk music. Instead of two songs, he has one about Talia and his love for her and need to be with her.
John Doe - In this AU, Ricky is a John Doe. The authorities were from out of town and wanted everything to be over with, and didn't understand ASL, so Ricky was left unidentified. His head is an astronaut helmet with cat ears that he made himself (sculpted the ears out of foam and clay and glued them to a normal helmet before painting it purple) Before his song, Ricky usually signs rather than speaks. Penny is the only choir member to understand ASL because it was taught in Elysium, which means that the rest of the choir can't understand Ricky unless she's interpreting. He has no voice and he doesn't know why. Ricky's song is about feeling misunderstood with no way to be understood, because he doesn't know who he is. He can't voice his feelings because he doesn't know them.
Penny - The Nicest Girl in Town. The town perceives her as "easy", easiest to bully, easiest to forget, easiest to ask for the science homework from. They label her as the nice one bc she's gullible enough to fall for it. Swap Penny is a pushover, and her need to be liked is much more prevalent here. She's desperate for positive attention, and her bullies label her the nice one to get away with using her. Her song is more about her life and how there's so much more to her than what the town perceives her as. She still has her dolly in this AU, and gives her to John as a birthday present. She and John actually become good friends throughout the course of the warehouse.
Constance - The Angriest Girl in Town. She was treated the same way she was in canon, but in death she lets loose and reveals her true emotions about everything. She's done with being a doormat. She's dead! Who cares anymore? She's dead and she spent her life catering to Ocean, and she's not going to spend the afterlife the same way. Constance says "fuck it" and lets her real self show, and I love her for that. She gets two songs - one that's really just a big vent session, with a punk rock theme where she gets to just let loose, and Sugar Cloud, where she talks about how life wasn't all terrible. I think she still has her realization in the middle of death that life was worth loving, it just comes along with realizing that life is both the good and the bad, that it's okay and even deserved to be angry.

@june-doe-event day 6: swap au
auge hshsg I haven’t drawn John Doe in a short while I love this au. Idk what I’m doing with Virgil and Karnak yet do not take this as a final version of them.
Awhile ago I saw a post with the idea that Ricky’s thoughts are projected instead of him talking and I love that idea. I forgot who made it sadly

I've seen many Alternative Jane Doe and John Doe ideas, and they're all GREAT.
But I have a really cool idea for a John Doe Ricky AU:
What if he THINKS he has memories, but they're actually the things Ricky used to imagine.
He says he was a 'Space Age Bachelor Man', who died shortly after coming back to earth, and that's why he doesn't remember his time there.
He signs about Zolar (in a more PG way for my own personal reasons) , the Cat women, the war he stopped between K-9 and Zolar with the power of love.
The others don't know if they should say they think he's making this all up. He's kind of unnerving, contrasting with how happy he is when telling his stories of Zolar
Then, after Penny's song (assuming she still died but has her identity), it's his turn.
He excitedly pulls the leaver, ready to see his life, his time on Zolar, maybe even the details of his time on earth, then-
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Nothing about Zolar, nothing about earth, nothing about his life. Nothing
That's when reality hits him.
He's dead. He doesn't have any identity. Zolar wasn't real, it never was.
All he knows is true is that he lost his head on the Cyclone.

Because my two biggest special interests rn are The Mountain Goats and Ride The Cyclone, here's what I think the rtc characters favorite Mountain Goats album(s) are:
Ocean: The Sunset Tree- seems happy and nice and stuff but at the same time is absolutely not and needs therapy
Noel: Goths, Zopilote Machine- homosexual yearning.
Ricky: In League With Dragons- funky music for dnd players and gays alike
Mischa: All Hail West Texas, Bleed Out, Getting Into Knives- the first and last ones because he is the saddest thing known to man and then the second one because I think he would enjoy a soundtrack for a fake action movie
Constance: Beat The Champ- she would love Foreign Object. that is all.
Jane: We Shall All Be Healed- she deserves to be healed. (also ik its not on this album but she would love Picture Of My Dress)
Virgil: Beautiful Rat Sunset- I just wanted to make that joke

Swap au?? Yes.
Character stuff under the cut-
Mischa-Jane doe: pretty much everything I’ve talked about in my JohnDoe!mischa posts (separate au). Head rebuilt by parts of his phone. No memories except for the faint knowledge that he was in love with someone (doesn’t remember who tho).
Constance-Noel: still sweet but a little less of a pushover. Feels like she should be more and wants to move to Hollywood and become a star. Defends herself more and doesn’t take bullshit but is very friendly if you are. 
Noel-Constance: ricky’s friend in this au- the parents putting pressure on him to “fit it” in kicked up a ton here. More to himself because he’s scared of what people will think of him. Just wants to be able to go full out on who he is and wants to be. (Still wants to be Monique). A lot more shy and less sassy but will not hesitate to defend his friends. 
Penny-Ricky: went nonverbal one day when she was younger and hasn’t spoken since. People tend to baby her and push her to the side because of this which makes her upset. She has a lot to “say” but nobody will listen to her. (Good thing she has ezra but that’s it).
Ricky-ocean: he always felt like he had to be perfect to make up for who he was. Him being unable to reach that perfection has made him a little bitter and gets angry when he feels someone his challenging the fact he’s perfect. Is a more of a teachers pet and secretly wants to just be himself cut his strive for perfection won’t let him.
ocean-Mischa: tired of her parents and everyone not caring about how hard she tries she’s sorta just- given up. Gets into trouble a lot to get some semblance of attention which she wouldn’t get otherwise. Still a know it all but is alot more jerky and angry about it. Acts like she doesn’t care about anyone when she really just wants to be loved.

my favorite thing so far about season 2 is how, no matter what, the crew of the revenge actively chooses their found family, over and over again
Tumblr media
• swede loves and is married to jackie, but double crosses her anyway because of his love and “life debt” for his family
• stede leaves ricky at jackie’z, despite ricky being inexperienced, because he’s fucking around and they all need to leave. stede’s not gonna risk his family just because ricky wants some sort of recognition for something he barely helped with
• oluwande leaves zheng yi sao because he’ll be damned if he leaves jim, who he’s reiterated that they’re family for him
• frenchie and jim disobeys ed’s orders and save izzy’s life because, as jim says, “he’s THEIR dick.” archie follows along cause she knows it’s fucked up and wants to stay by jim’s side
• izzy has chosen ed over and over again, and would’ve continued to if ed had accepted the help he desperately needed, but ed isolates himself and pushes izzy to the point where he HAS to choose the rest of the crew instead
• roach, wee john, and pete all get jobs on the red flag that play to their strengths and they enjoy IMMENSELY, but they go back to the revenge cause there’s no world where they wouldn’t. buttons had the opportunity to probably get more sea witch info and tools from auntie, but he also wouldn’t ever choose that over the crew
• lucius is PISSED at stede, and has a ton of ptsd to work through. i imagine he probably felt somewhat safe finally on the red flag. but after talking things through with stede and pete, i know that it was a no brainer for him as well. he’d never give pete up again after that kind of separation
• even though stede is loving the experience of seeing zheng yi sao doing what she does best and the (seemingly) warm and comforting environment on the red flag, he chooses to rescue the crew, even izzy, and take back their ship. because he knows they would choose him (and did during the act of grace, minus izzy). he’s bringing their family back together despite everything else
• i would say that the crew still with ed DID choose him, constantly. any other crew would’ve mutinied WAY before they did, but they love ed and hoped things would get better despite his behavior saying otherwise. the only times they didn’t choose him was out of self-preservation
• ed became a self-fulfilling prophecy and isolated himself. i would argue that he’s the one exception here. he actively chooses to disregard his family because of his self-loathing and deluded himself into thinking they wouldn’t choose him. BUT, in the end, he finally does because stede cast him that line. he chose to live for himself, of course, but i like to think that that decision was also to come back to the one person that truly felt like family for him
i am so fucking excited to see all of the other ways they’re going to choose each other, yet also keep each other accountable for the things they do. because they’re family

Maybanks sister
Series masterlist, previous chapter
Chapter 6- you don’t need him
Summary: jj is struggling with the guilt he faces, Rafe and you help each other get through everything as always, and when Jj comes to apologize at tannyhill, how does Rafe feel?
Warnings: small short description of psychical abuse, slightly toxic!rafe, maybe ooc!jj?
Tumblr media
“Dad! Dad-“ you shouted, desperately trying to get him off of your brother. Your shout was gut wrenching, your voice cracking and your eyes full of tears.
You finally managed to get him off, and you saw Jj staring at you, his face bloodied. His eyes struggling to stay open.
“Oh my God… Look what you fucking did! Look!” You cried, quickly getting down onto your knees next to JJ, ignoring your father behind you telling you he’s not worth it.
“It’s okay, JJ. It’s okay. You’re fine.” You mumbled, mostly to yourself, wiping away the blood on his cheek and the drool that fell when his mouth hung open.
Your tears fell onto JJ, the memory forever engraved into yours and his brain. He was only 15 at that point, it was his birthday. You were 17.
You’d always protected him, always. He felt a strong sense of regret, having to fight the urge to turn back and come back to you, telling you he’s sorry. He was pulled out of the memory when someone came up behind him, a hand on his shoulder.
“You okay, man?” John B asked him, his eyebrows furrowed.
“Yeah. Yeah. I’m fine.”
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
Rafe took you to Tannyhill, the ride was quiet the whole way.
And when he got there, Ward was standing outside, police cars and boats around.
You furrowed your eyebrows and looked back at Rafe. He held out an arm, telling you to stay in the car for a moment.
“I just saw Sarah.” Ward told him.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
The next days, during the sentencing for John B, you and Rafe stayed in. He had become anxious, and you were the one to calm him down every time.
He had gotten to the point of multiple panic attacks, asking questions like what if they found out or what if they caught him.
“They won’t. They won’t, Rafe.” You whispered quietly, your hands on his face, and your eyes searching his. He looked down, shaking his head to himself.
When you saw the news that John B was captured and in prison, it had calmed Rafe down a bit. But a part of you felt bad.
That was your brothers friend, your brothers friend who you practically watched grow up with him, your brothers friend who had a crush on you in his awkward acne and braces phase.
You knew that JJ was planning a way to get him out.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
“-They’re gonna eject you to the hospital. You remember cousin Ricky?”
“Cousin Ricky, the weed dealer?”
“He’s an EMT.”
“He sold us our first dime bag.”
“So? You can do both. Gig economy, bro.”
“Jesus.” John B sighed.
“Okay, but step 3 is extraction-“ Jj continued his plan.
“Times up.” Plumb spoke, interrupting the two.
“Yes, ma’am. You gotta trust me on this one.” Jj said, staring at John B. “Nothing to lose now. Eleven PM.” He stood up, and walked out.
He heard talking, when he suddenly saw a familiar face. He turned back, doing a double take, he stared out at the window, stepping closer.
He watched his father play basketball, and began banging on the door.
“Dad! Dad!”
“Let’s go.” Plumb said, grabbing him.
“Dad!”
“Let’s go.” She repeated, peeling him away from the window.
He turned back, his jaw clenched as he walked.
“I see what you did there, Plumb.”
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
Rafe was speaking to his dad in the living room while you sat on the bed, texting back with your cousin.
You decided to tell him that Luke was in prison. He wasn’t very surprised. And somehow the topic went back to Jj.
“He’s an asshole, you know how he is.”
“I feel bad, tho.” You typed.
“Don’t feel bad, He’ll come back, I mean what’d you do for him to get pissed at you?”
“Pretty bad shit.”
“He’s always off doing pretty bad shit anyways. He’ll come back to you.”
“Hope so. Thanks Ricky.” You typed,
“Anytime.”
You shut off your phone, staring at the ceiling for a moment before you heard something hit the window. A rock.
You furrowed your eyebrows, turning your body, then standing up and looking out to see a small figure in the yard. Was that…
“Jj?” You mumbled to yourself, opening up the window. He waved.
“Jesus Christ.” You groaned, shutting the window and quickly gathering your stuff, and heading downstairs.
You opened and shut the door quietly, stepping outside and seeing JJ.
“What the fuck do you want, JJ?” You asked him, walking towards him. He stood, staring at you and back at the house behind you.
His hands were shoved in his pockets.
“You know dads in jail?”
“Yeah… so what?” You told him.
“And you didn’t think to tell me…?”
“I wanted to, J, but I couldn’t have-“
“Why? Why couldn’t you have, y/n?” His voice raising, you put your hand over his mouth.
“If any one of them hear you they’re gonna be fucking pissed. C’mon.” You mumbled, walking away from the house, but he stood there.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked again.
“Because, I thought you would blame me. I just found out not that long ago, and I didn’t know how to tell you.” You spoke, your back to him. You turned around now.
“I wouldn’t have blamed you.”
“Is that why you came? To just say that?”
“No. I’m sorry. I- I said some shit back at the dock… shit I didn’t mean…” he paused. “And I’m sorry.”
Your eyes widened at his words. It was rare for him to apologize like this. It was silent for a little.
“You have to get it, that I just… why him?” He asked, referring to Rafe.
“Because he’s the one who was there for me when no one else was. He was there for me when you weren’t.”
He stayed quiet now.
“But I get why you weren’t. Looking back at it, I haven’t treated you the best either. You’re my younger brother. And I should have protected you more-“
“Don’t.” He spoke up, quietly. “You did-“
“Well, what do we have here? Maybank, don’t you know you’re trespassing?” Rafes voice interrupted, stepping down to the both of you.
You both turned around at the voice.
“I was just on my way, cupcake.” He clicked his teeth, and turned around.
Rafe was behind him quickly, a hand on his shoulder, tightly gripping it.
“Don’t come near here again.” He whispered into his ear. “I will fucking shoot you on sight.”
“Mmm.. I’ll look forward to it. I would love to stay and join your tea party… but I have some other shit to get to.”
“You have some nerve showing up here, JJ.” He shouted when he began to walk away, Jj flipping him off from behind his back.
“Rafe, he was just-“ you began.
“Do I need to remind you that he was the one who made you cry like a fuckin’ baby the other day?” He turned to you now.
You were taken aback at his words. Stepping back as he walked towards you.
“I told you, you don’t need him. Or anyone else.”
“He’s my brother, Rafe…”
“And when has he ever done anything good for you?”
You stayed silent. He walked closer, a small sigh escaping his mouth. You slightly flinched when his hands went up. They made their way to your face, cupping it.
“I’m just trying to protect you, baby. Don’t want you getting anymore hurt than you already have been by him, or anyone else.”

Honestly, you'd think seeing the same six performers have characters discover the power of friendship and the meaning of family would get boring after a few times, but D20 makes it work every time, and I have a theory as to why, and the answer comes in three parts.
1 - It's never the same set of dynamics twice. The Bad Kids feel like siblings with friendly rivalries and stuff while the Heroes of New York have older sibling/younger sibling dynamics (with Kingston and Pete having a father/son dynamic). Crown of Candy has a conventional family dynamic, but Starstruck doesn't and Neverafter has hints of parental dynamics in Red and Mother Goose.
2 - The situations are different. This is probably the most self-evident, but the Found Family you find in a John Hughes High School is different from one you'd find in an extreme late-stage capitalist hellscape future which is different from one you'd find in an otherwise cold, unfeeling fractured fairy tale universe filled with unknowable eldritch monstrosities.
3 - The performers themselves. It feels like every season the cast try out new dynamics with each other. For example, Riz and Fig aren't particularly close (they're best friends and part of the Bad Kids, but they're closer with other members of the group) while Sof and Kug are drinking buddies and best friends and Barry and Syd are almost inseparable despite all three pairs being played by the same actors, and it feels like every cast member experiments with dynamics like that so part of tuning in to a new season is seeing how these actors bounce off of one another in new, exciting ways.
And when they do return to settings (like Elmville and New York), new dynamics are explored that bring the families together. All the little moments in Sophomore Year where the Bad Kids are there for each other in ways that mean the world to each other and build on dynamics like the three-sided friendship that The Bad Boys develop or the quiet moment Kristen and Gorgug share in the road where they console each other and tell each other how special they are. Or, in The Unsleeping City Chapter II, seeing how much Kingston, Sophie and Ricky ground Pete (a major theme of the season is that Vox Phantasmas are prone to ennui and self-destruction) and the fact that all three of them go to bat for Pete when he isn't around, with Kingston and Pete's dynamic going from the aforementioned father/son to a dynamic of older and younger brothers.
Tl:Dr Dimension 20 does found family real good.
