stardew valley au where joel and skizz are new residents to pelican town (hermit town?). joel just inherited a large farm from his late grandfather and skizz is moving in with his old friend after reconnecting with him and wanting a fresh start. and the townspeople are like, kinda weird.
bdubs is fine enough - he’s a sweet man with a fun personality and he’s the local builder, but it’s almost frightening how fast he constructs new buildings when joel needs them. pearl, their resident postmaster, is also pretty normal other than the fact that skizz never seems to be awake early enough to catch her delivering mail. scar is lovely but he’s never available when joel wants another chicken. the mayor, xisuma, is pleasant too, if a little eccentric at times, but he doesn’t really seem to do much in town.
for the most part, skizz is settling in well. he’s moved in with impulse, who runs the local blacksmith in town, and he gets along well with most of the local townspeople. he’s started spending his evenings at the local saloon listening to ren regale the patrons with fantastical tales while he and stress serve up food and drinks, and he finds himself growing close with cleo, the local sculptor. he even gets a new wardrobe from hypno free of charge, and sometimes helps cub out with his totally scientific studies and creations.
skizz also joins forces with beef (who helps to supply the local general store that xb and keralis run) in terrorising the local manager of the corporate chain grocery store that no one likes. doc is a terrible manager but would make a fun supervillain (according to joe hills, the bookseller who appears once in a blue moon but seems to know doc more than anyone in town).
joel, on the other hand, seems to only be interacting with the strangest residents in town. he discovers the adventurer’s guild after only a couple weeks, and is only somewhat irritated by iskall’s refusal to pronounce his name correctly. false promises to give him prizes if he can kill enough monsters, which is not something joel had expected to be doing when he pictured farm life, but here he is. he stumbles upon a travelling cart one day, and the man inside insists he’s a knight from a faraway land, that he risked his life to make it all the way here to sell his wares. it’s all stuff joel can get cheaper elsewhere.
he’s pretty sure the local doctor has no real medical training, but then he passes out while fighting monsters and he wakes up completely fine, so zedaph probably knows what he’s doing. maybe. when joel isn’t passing out he sometimes makes trips to the library-slash-museum, which is probably almost completely empty because mumbo, who begs joel for anything to display, looks like he’s never fought a duggie in his life. eventually mumbo gives joel a key to the sewers, which are way cooler than they have any right to be, and that’s where he finds jevin’s secret sewer shop. jevin lives in town. he just also has a shop hidden underground. joel has stopped asking questions by now.
and then there are the three who live by the beach. etho spends most of his time tinkering around the fishing hut or hovering around bdubs, but sometimes he drives the bus to the desert. only sometimes. there might be something under his mask. no one knows for sure. gem runs the fish shop most days and she claims she’s a sailor, but joel has never seen a single working boat around despite all the ocean. she can also hold her breath underwater for an uncannily long amount of time, like, scarily so, and will sometimes disappear for a few days and return with an abundance of treasures. joel has never seen her leave by boat. grian fishes a lot and runs the shop when gem can’t, and he sometimes talks as though the sea can speak to him. skizz has caught him staring into space for extended periods of time. one time he waded into the water and just stood there, head down, muttering to himself.
apparently there used to be a lighthouse but “it’s gone now”. gem says if they ask bdubs nicely enough maybe they can build another one, but she and grian are banned from build requests after the last incident with their pet snails (joel has never seen the snails, but scar complains about them enough to convince him they’re real).
there also might be some kind of wizard who lives in the creepy tower in the woods. skizz has heard he’s the one who helps maintain the power in the valley, and joel’s convinced he hallucinated seeing him once until he recieves a letter from the wizard himself, and visits him only to find that the strange fire-creature he saw that one time was, in fact, tango, who is human for the most part, he just sets himself on fire sometimes.

Idea!
Ex-Twin
Damian and Danyal were twins. They were very close but only within their mother's sight. Everyone else only ever saw a cold indifference.
Danyal has failed a mission at the age of 6 which resulted in his death. Damian was with him at the time and retrieved the body. In a desperate attempt to get his brother back, he tried to dip him into the Lazarus Pit.
The Pit took him away much to the heartbreak of the living boy.
Damian threw himself into an even more ruthless training and excelled at it. With time, Ra's was even happy that the other boy has died. It served as an excellent motivator to his heir.
Years passed. Damian has been with his Father for a long while now. He was now turning 22 and Father held a Gala in his honour. Damian has long since realised that it was quite unnecessary but it helped their covers and allowed him to make connections.
However, they were just as boring as ever. Same faces, same lies, same talks. Nothing aloevera changed
Until a new couple from a city Amity Park, came with two teenage children. Samantha, the girl, was expected. Her bright pink gown less so if any information on her was any true.
Her companion, a boy her age, clearly uncomfortable in the suit and tie, made the ground under his feet disappear.
He looked so much like Damian himself did at the age of 15. And his eyes were that familiar, haunting blue.
Damian excused himself from his current conversation, and gracefully strode out of the room past the young teens.
Maybe he was being paranoid. Most likely unreasonably hopeful. Perhaps he was behaving irrationally.
Nonetheless, long minutes later, the scan of a hair he managed to snag revealed the truth.
It was his brother.
He came back.
___
Um... so, Maddie and Jack got dozed with some old Ecto at some point during very early stages of Maddie's pregnancy and Lazarus (Ectoplasm+Clockwork) infused the preserved genes of the baby, who died so early and had a glorious life of adventures ahead of him, into the barely formed zygot.
Danny's adventures happened. Phantom Planet not so much (unless you want it to be after the AGIT). Sam's parents finally made into an even bigger leagues and were invited to the Gala.
Danny had a bad feeling. Anything to do with the extremely rich was always problematic. No offence, Sam.

I dont really understand the traumagenic vs endogenic discourse.maybe it's because I'm older, but I don't see the point. There's a million reasons why I could say it's irrelevant, but in life you're constantly going to see things you don't particularly understand , and you're just gonna have to get that sometimes, it's none of your business. It's none of my business how someone is a system or how many alters/headmates they have or what language they prefer. It's their own lives, not mine. A lot of traumagenics feel caught up in their own misery going "why would you want to be this way????" That's not really the question here.
Back in the truscum days, ppl would say the same thing: why would you want to be/make this character trans, obviously it's a condition that's only perpetuating misery.
Well maybe to you it does, but not to everyone else. Your experiences are not universal, and people will interpret the same exact situation differently based on their experiences.
At the very least, if someone wants to make an embarrassment of themselves, that's no skin off your back.

what would you do if Andy showed up to your place of work with flowers and lunch and told you he loved you in front of all your co-workers who thought it was the sweetest thing ever?
cry out of embarrassment and then call the police.

Hey! So that last comment you tagged me in on that Moony ask got me thinking.
Imagine that Poppy had begin to get mixed up with the Toon Patrol when she was acting. Specifically when she was doing movies with wild, aggressive, dangerous, ferocious Moony and he has an odd wolfie claim over her. Not romantic or sexual (well okay maybe a tiny bit but subconscious), just- that's his co-worker. His protagonist. Poppy's kindof annoying but she's his and the weasels are bad fucken news. She'd be dumb to get mixed up with them. He thinks he needs to keep her away from them. (Fucken weasels)
He acts rude and gruff and dangerous about them and her. She's scared and doesn't understand, Greasy's thinking damn- this chica sure has a terrible boyfriend (he keeps getting threatened and sometimes bit), Smartass is like 'I dont need this.', etc.
What do you think? 😅 Just a dumb little idea. Going on anon cuz I am nervous-
You don't have to answer this XD 😆
- 👠🐊👠
No no no it's not dumb! You get back here we are having a TED TALK-
Um... I think I should probably add a TW for possessive behavior? And/or harmful co-worker relationships? It's not necessarily coming from a place of malicious intent, and it's not Moony's fault that he was drawn to be this aggressive, but still.
Ok ok ok. First off, the thought of Feral Moony having more comprehensive thoughts than people expect him to! Granted, it's not by much; I doubt even he fully realizes his feelings and beiw towards his co-star. Moony was drawn to just be a mindless monster, so the fact that he managed to get this much thought process (*sees the annoying rabbit being around dangerous weasels* *goes into 'keep away' mode*) is pretty surprising in and of itself. And possibly led to the Stein Brothers to come to the conclusion sooner or easier that they need to get rid of this brute they created before he gains enough free will thoughts to go against them.
But, as you said, the way he goes about this is not at all the right way. Moony, at this point in time, only knows how to be an angry beast. He gets irritated at the littlest of things, especially how he's been chasing that rabbit for seemingly years now, but hasn't caught her yet (in some films, he does. But then when the cameras cut, Moony sees Poppy is... Well, not fine, but alive??? He just had his teeth around her neck! And in some films, he's the one who dies- the first time that happened, bro got humbled real fast) So Poppy is a source of frustration for him. But she's still his co-star. It might subconsciously be a 'if anyone is going to finish this chase, it's going to be me' thing for him, along with the fact that she's his protagonist. These giggling weasels can go get their own.
Imagine him coming up when Greasy is flirting with Poppy! Or Psycho is being his usual loony self with her. I can imagine Moony getting particularly aggressive with these two; Psycho because he's another horror villain toon, and he's sneaking up on his protagonist. And Greasy because he doesn't like the way he licks his chops at Pops or looks at her like she's meat (it could also be because out of all the weasels, Poppy would be scared/wary of these two the most at first). Feral Moony hates Smartass, because of his loud and smart mouth. He also doesn't like Wheezy and how God awful he smells. Nor Stupid with how annoying he is like Poppy (Feral Moony didn't like ANYBODY).
Meanwhile, Poppy - she's so damn tired, man. She just wants to move to a beach house and live by the seaside! Yet she's got Moony on her tail constantly, and now these weasels... Well, they seem friendly enough, but if they started their criminal lives at this point in time, then Poppy would still be anxious around them. And this is pre-working-on-herself Poppy; girl is shaking like a chihuahua on a good day. If this was before they were too bad, though. Poppy would have an easier time befriending them (I'm thinking maybe she was nice to one, maybe Stupid since he's the most approachable, and then he went back to the others like "I made a friend!" And soon enough they decided to go see what was up. And now Pops has at least one weasel coming to the studio everyday XD)
Oh my lord. If Poppy ever heard that Greasy at least thought that Moony was her boyfriend, she'd have a stroke. She couldn't ever imagine dating him! She'd be like "Boyfriend?! Wh-Why would y-you say that!?" Girl can't even think about getting that close to anybody right now. Let alone with her beastly co-star.
May I raise you; Moony, after he's worked on himself and is trying to turn around, remembers Poppy and how she's hanging around the patrol. He wants to help her and make sure she's ok, but he also remembers how much he hurt her and doesn't want her to think he's being his old self again. Not to mention the fact that if the weasels remember him, they'll no doubt not take kindly to his presence.
Poppy and him still meet the same way. Though Moony is even more careful now; keeping his voice quiet, crouching down to Poppy's level and hiding his teeth and claws so he doesn't scare her, while explaining that he truly is sorry for their former relationship, and asking if she's doing ok. It might take Poppy a tad longer to trust him in this timeline, since they had a more... For lack of better term, involved relationship. But she'd still be able to see he's not the wolf she was afraid of before.
Oh-ho, boy. Imagine Poppy trying to re-introduce her new boyfriend- her actual boyfriend this time, Greasy- to the same weasels he snapped at before. None of them trust him, for obvious reasons. And Moony understands. He is relieved that at least they don't treat Poppy so bad, but he's still worried about her getting mixed up with this gang.
How do YOU think the weasels would react to all this? (You don't have to reblog and answer if you're too nervous ^^ I'd love to hear your opinion, but you don't have to!)
Wait... If Poppy got to know the weasels during her acting career, when Moony was around, that meant she had them as friends when she started dating Henry and Ben... Oh she's going to be just fine now! :D (well not fine, fine. These assholes are still dicks to her. But she won't have to worry about them for too long >:D)
