some vibes that i absolutely think need to be explored in a dnd thread (bc baldur's gate 3 has the lot of us CAUGHT!)

first, characters sitting by the campfire. cooking a nice meal with the supplies they've gathered along the way. maybe they use a very highly sought-after ration as a treat after a long day, like cream or fresh meat or a spice of some sort. they sit around the blaze together, and tell stories of their earlier travels, adding ingredients to the meal and fuel to the fire, and bonding as they discuss what's next in their shared adventure.

i also love the potential of them walking together along a long, winding country road! maybe they pick some flowers idly, or for each other, or maybe they find herbs or vegetables or fruits to add to their supplies. maybe they overhear footsteps up ahead and have to decide between keeping to the path or rushing into the nearby stream to avoid being seen or smelled. perhaps they have a horse, or two horses, or even a carriage, or maybe they're just walking along together. they could discuss what's next in a journey, or their choices from earlier encounters. if we think of roads as liminal spaces, this is an opportunity for many things to be happening, from a fallen tree blocking the road, to the road forking at a junction in the woods, or enemies/allies travelling along the same path, or even a side quest of sorts awaiting them in the woods!

character A meets character B when they're wounded and unconscious, and brings them back to their camp, either out of fear of what might happen if they don't, or for concern for B, or maybe they recognize them from somewhere! they nurse them back to health, and have to fend off attacks along the way because B is too weak to retaliate, and ultimately it leads to a curious bond where neither are willing to separate from the other, but they also don't know nearly enough about each other to understand what makes them trust each other so much.

the last one for this post: the two characters have travelled a long way. they're tired and weary, battered and bruised from past battles, and they find themselves in a merry kingdom that welcomes them heartily to a party, where they get to eat and rest and bathe and dress in finery and attend a ball together. and this may sound romantically leaning, but i also think it works in a platonic sense or a parental sense, because i think the concept of watching someone you've grown to care about finally laugh and smile and enjoy themselves after a long, brutal journey, is smth that would make many people very happy. and they get pulled to their feet for a dance, and this night of levity and merriment, as beautiful as it is, still inspires a transformation in the journey. perhaps the more experienced or worn-out of the two decides to slip away in the middle of the night, leaving a letter that begs the other to stay where they're happy and safe and allow them to finish the journey alone. or maybe they're about to leave but the other character intercepts. like there's so many outcomes for this one besties!!

good starting points for anyone unsure where to start. if anything seems interesting, shoot me an im or a discord message.

MAIN VERSE

'YOU HAVE TO BE VERY DESPERATE TO COME TO ME FOR HELP' can work both ways. shady business deals, desperate contracts, all of that. when the official routes fail, you turn to the worst yet most efficient service providers.

ASSASSINATION HIRE need to get rid of someone quick? call him.

(BEGRUDGINGLY) WORKING TOGETHER FROM DIFFERENT MORAL POINTS whether it's more casual like sharing knowledge on scientific endeavors, or more serious like uniting together against a common threat. the enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend.

APPRENTICE-TYPE DYNAMICS can also work either way. archer is a medical doctor capable of training someone in the field or with the forensic pathology and autopsy things and is a great teacher. but he's also still young, and could get good advice from someone older and more experienced.

SPARRING/GUN CONTROL/MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING related to the previous. just study under him. it's worth the horrors.

UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPS obviously they're great. especially if, again, it's two people from completely different moral standpoints but somehow they just get along great, and everyone around them is shocked about it.

'WE DONT NECESSARILY LIKE EACH OTHER BUT OUR POKÉMON DO SO WE NEED TO KEEP MEETING UP BECAUSE THEY GET SAD OTHERWISE' very specific but funny subspecies of possibly unlikely friendships.

PRE-ESTABLISHED (platonic) DYNAMICS example of two people who used to be friends a decade or more ago meeting accidentally and finding out what that kid they used to play with in the forest grew up to become.

FELLOW CRIMINALS whether they're rivals or coexisting or offering each other valuable assets to gain something in return. all good.

OUTSIDE MAIN VERSE

PRE ROCKET/PRE EXECUTIVE ERA he was a scruffy and rebellious little bastard and hates it personally when anyone reminds him of it (or in general is even aware of it).

HGSS ERA AND ESPECIALLY THE AFTERMATH this is undoubtedly the lowest point. note that replies in this verse will take longer than my regular because the mindset is a heavy one to get into.

THE ROCKET BOSS VERSE the mantle is passed down from giovanni, undoubtedly causing some growing pains at the start. very ripe for fellow villain interactions (and others).

imagine, you're trying to rizz nita up. you put your arm around nita. she dislocates your arm.

Just the intimacy of sharing a bath with someone. Resting in between their legs, back to their chest with his head rest on their shoulder/chest.

single dads are a great trope, but i want single mums

i've been thinking about timeless a lot the past few days (rip, i loved that show), and just... time travel <3 history <3 two time travellers locked in a fight, one to preserve history, and the other one to rewrite it ( and they are in love )

honestly, i need some really good discord writing partners. something that we can put together on a server and just… create a whole ass world together. if you’re interested, then please like this. ❤️

Okay... but a bodyguard!Changbin muse for Kija OR a Wooyoung!muse for Aaron would be amazing. Or any changbin muse with Kija tbh.

wtf is this from and why do I suddenly need a jenna muse? gimmie?

mini broad pokeverse wishlist because it's on the mind ...

silva setting off [it's funny(horrors)]

techy things. silva doing techy things is so fun

lets hotwire a car[or a boat. better yet, a plane]

we love some human experimentation in this house

smth smth interpol has the marks silva leaves behind on record with no solution as to What they come from. smth.

just in general interpol with silva is fun

hey flare/ex-flare ocs/canons

wrestling, fighting, idk silva's buff as hell and loves to fight lets fight

silva sucks at making sandwiches lets make some sandwiches

silva when she was running around in kalos

silva when she first got to unova, just after escaping kalos

similar to techy things, lets do science things.

hospital???? or just something with someone finding about her fucky wucky biology

little silva is fun as fuck, let it be pre or post adoption. she's a menace.

let silva talk to your pokemon .

i need the ghosts to play a game or create a new club that's just "what have I got in my pockets?" and every week they reveal something else they have or something.

julian may have died with no trousers, but i bet he has some rather interesting things in his blazer pockets 👀

also, though ... just imagine, being a serial killer that targeted reese and she wakes up while you're in the process of staging her / doing whatever the post death ritual usually is and her just being ???

anyone up for some rapid fire?? I'm open for any plots, angst and spice, any kind of dynamic, taboo plots too !

you know what movie i will never get bored of? the wedding date. and i would kill for a plot based on it

little plot bunnies i've had bouncing in my head.

i. some sort of reborn in every generation sort of plot. two people who've been finding each other across generations. the instant connection. the memories. the denial. just some great angst as they try not to just blindly obey what seems to be pre-determined.

ii. i'm thinking like... the enterprise visits a planet and discovers the people there are sick. they are being poisoned ( perhaps they are romulans, perhaps they are being poisoned by the romulans ) and starfleet tells them to step back, not to get involved, but christine, not wanting these people to die, poisons herself. if they die, i die. to force enterprise to break the rules and the consequences of that action.

iii. anything involving a secret agent / secret identities because that's always so much fun. and maybe the secret is not what's expected. the reveal is not as shocking as it is heartbreaking.

iv. elysian!! plots!! literally my goddamn favorite universe, just give me more of christine as a witch trying to carve out her own kingdom where magical creatures can be safe <3

v. stuck in the past plots, having to survive until they find a way back or are rescued by the enterprise ( or, christine having to rely on your muse to hide her in the past )

I think I’m gonna put a little writing wishlist…This is mostly for N, though. He’s so new and fresh and I have ideas 👁️

I want to write N getting interrogated by Interpol after B/W. pretty sure Interpol would have gotten their data and I’m very sure they would know N’s origins. I want him to be questioned about despite not knowing anything about it.

Somebody actually fathering N and showing him that he can have a good father figure and helping him overcoming his fear of ‘I’m a clone of Ghetsis and I’m going to end up like him’ because he thinks that’s what’s going to happen. He doesn’t understand after finding out that he is is own person, despite being mad rob a lab.

Scientists poking at him. Idc if they are from Rocket/Flare/Aether/ect I need scientific people poking and prodding at him and maybe a little dissection as a treat. You know! Make him more afraid of labs!
