Okay so if you’re anything like me you see those lists of au ideas floating around and you like them but when it comes time to write something and you need an idea you have no idea what you tagged them as or if they’re buried somewhere in your likes so….have a list of some of the ones I’ve come across! This is updated with new lists and fixed links fairly frequently so check back here if you’d like more! 

also: there are a few lists that people have requested that i have not been able to find so if you know of one/write one, please send it to me. my messages/ask/submit are all open. WANTED: expectant parents/parents with newborns aus, historical aus

Oh no…

“It’s not just a role to him. He wanted, for instance, for the armour to look like it had been worn for years and years. So he made breakfast in it and he would sleep in it.” (And this is a guy who literally played Superman.)

For instance: the further back you go, the less “naughty” means “like a misbehaving child” and the more it means “super fucking evil.” That word has shifted connotational meaning SO. FAR. over the past couple hundred years that it makes reading older stuff even in English sometimes like a fucking trip, because someone will call something “naughty” and what you hear is either childish or playfully sexual but what the writer meant was EVIL EVIL EVIL.
