Maybe Story Ideas

Requests Are: Open!

These aren't so much rules as they are ways to make the process go a lot smoother so I can write good-er and you can get your request faster!

Specifying the type of writing you want goes a long way

- One-shot: A long, continuous piece that focuses on a main character and story - Imagine/Scenario: Shorter in length but can cover a wider range of characters in unconnected scenes. Format can be either paragraphs or bullet points - Headcanon/Drabble: A bullet point list of more abstract ideas or brief moments with as many characters as you’d like. Can also include a final paragraph for each character

Same goes for how long you want the writing to be; I'm starting to worry that I write too little story with too many words

The more characters you include, the less specific the request should be; that way there's plenty of fun ways to flip the script

If the request is a continuation of a collection, I might wait until more characters have been requested before posting

Even if I'm struggling to write a request, there's a good chance I'm holding onto it and plan to try again in the future

If it's something I'm incapable of writing, I'll let you know when and why

Elements of the request are subject to change, but don't be afraid to specify what absolutely has to be included.

Feedback on what does and doesn't work goes a long way. I'm always looking for ways to improve!

Me: Oh, actually that’s the Evil Queen from Snow White. And Vil is a guy because it’s an all-boy’s academy. (Also there's nothing about Vil that even looks like he's from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"...)

“I don’t know what his name is, but he’s definitely gay. He’s obsessed with being cutesy and wants to take selfies all the time.”

Me: Well, Cater’s whole thing is that he uses cute and trendy stuff as a sort of mask. It’s partially because his older sisters-

“The headmaster talks like he’s a total perv! He’s all like, ‘Ooh, you’ll be forced to work at this school all day~ Whatever will you do~?’”

Me: Crowley!? No, he’s a total comedic character most of the time. He wears Hawaiian print and cargo shorts when he goes on vacation.

“Why do they all have the same face and body type? I’m pretty sure every one of these characters is gay-”

Me:

…And every time I see Silver’s sprite, I can’t help but think he looks like a pouting kid, especially with his arms crossed and the shape of his eyes. It tricks my brain into seeing this kid with a perpetual frown like, ‘I don’t wanna be here.’

But then I got curious and started looking at his other sprites…

This poor boy has a bad case of resting bitch face. He doesn’t look sleepy, he looks like someone dragged him out of his room to talk to people he doesn’t like.

EXCEPT!

There’s one sprite where he’s not frowning.

Good start to the day!

It’s been while, nearly a year since the last piece of writing.

I’m not over Twisted Wonderland (just finished today’s Joint Exams, as a matter of fact), I just fell down the Pokemon Subway Masters rabbit hole and have made a lovely den with a cozy fireplace and sofa.

I didn’t realize there was an overlap between the fandoms; if I had, I would’ve written this sooner.

There are still some Asks and pieces of writing I come back to, the ideas haven’t left me completely and I think that’s an indication that I want to keep writing about these Disney ikemen, but would you guys also be curious to see other fandoms and franchises? Not just SubMas, but any other characters or series that I get hooked on?

It’d be fun to try and get back into this blog, if you guys are still interested. Let me know if that’s something you’d like to write and hear about.

Final Note: I’ve seen Ingo and Emmet in the Octavinelle uniforms, but may I suggest the following:

Haha, I’m very glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve gotten a couple requests for a couple characters, namely Floyd, Azul, and Riddle (I’ve written two of the three so far, so that’s good news).

Who has two thumbs and has the same birthday as a pair of sociopathic eels?

Depending on who you ask, sharing your birth date with the Leech brothers is either a blessing, a curse, or some amalgamation of the two.

Somehow, some way, they will find out your birthday. Did you mention it to a classmate in passing? That’s great! They can tell Floyd all about it. You got an alert from Magicam? You also get a like from Jade! Really the only way to be sure they don’t know is to make sure no one knows. But then where’s the fun in that?

If and when these two find out you have the same birthday, look forward to having at least one of them glued to you every waking second. You’re sandwiched between the two of them during meals, walking to classes, and studying in the library. For any joint classes you have with the upperclassmen, expect Jade to immediately take the spot right next to you. Some of the students mention that he’s not even taking this class, but don’t worry. He’s memorized the coursework and is more than happy to help you in exchange for keeping him company. As for the rest of the school day, well… Deuce was more than a little confused when he came into class and saw Floyd in his seat, practically draped over you like an overly affectionate blanket.

Speaking of your classmates, any friendly chats and hangout time is going to be severely cut down for the day. Riddle had planned to gift you with some Trey-made sweets and a Happy Birthday, only to immediately retreat the second he saw Floyd playing with your hair - he’ll just leave the box on your doorstep with a card. Before Rook could emerge from his hiding spot and perform the poem he’d written for you, Jade all but pulled him out of hiding. Some of them put up a good fight, trying to wrestle you away from the twins, but it’s not long before Floyd’s pulling at your sleeve and asking for attention while Jade kindly sees them off.

Azul and the rest of Octavinelle prepared a huge birthday party for Floyd and Jade, and you’re coming too. To be fair, they were already planning to invite you, but now it’s mandatory. Floyd made it mandatory. They’ve put together an assortment of sweets, snacks, and drinks, all of which includes some of your favorites. How and why there’s such a comprehensive list of your favorites is something you’ll worry about another day. Hm, you want to bring your friends, too? That’s fine, but if they cause any trouble it’ll be at your expense, so pick your guests carefully.

Birthday gifts are a double-edged sword. Figuratively speaking; no one’s managed to acquire a literal one yet and thank the Seven for that. By the end of the day, you’ll have a present from each of the brothers. To no one’s surprise, Jade buys you that one thing you’ve been saving up week’s worth of money to buy. Depending on Floyd’s mood, he’ll either recall something you mentioned in passing and springboard off that for ideas, or he’ll re-gift you something he bought because it looked cute. So, what did you prepare for them?

FSHHHH~

CRACK

BOOM!

Colors and light ignited the sky for a split second before slowly fading into the dark of the night. You’d had a feeling Floyd was going to enjoy the idea of setting off fireworks, but Jade’s enthusiasm was an unexpected if not welcome revelation. At least you assume he’s enjoying the display, if the way his eyes remained trained on the sky is anything to go by.

“And you said this is part of a holiday where you come from?”

“Kind of,” you shrug, pausing to watch Floyd set off another and send it skyward, “It’s not something known worldwide, and even fewer people celebrate it. But some folks still do things like have bonfires and light fireworks.”

Another burst of sparks pepper the sky, leaving trails of embers as they go. Willows, if memory serves you correctly.

“In that case, would this not be considered a celebration of the holiday rather than our birthday.”

Maybe it’s because you’ve been around Jade for the whole day, but you can’t help but laugh.

“Are you saying you’re unhappy with my gift? And after all the trouble I went through to get these fireworks…”

Against your better judgment, you lean against him. Just a little. Enough to feel him move as he laughs.

“My apologies. I should know better than to turn down such a compassionate gift.”

“Hey, Jade! Koebi-chan!” you both look up just in time to see Floyd running up the steps to Ramshackle, “Did you see how big that last one was? Man, my ears are still ringing.”

He grins and grabs your arm, nearly pulling you off the ground as he starts walking back to the field.

“C’mon, there’s still a couple more left. Let’s set them off together.”

He doesn’t even wait for a response before dragging you off. Behind you, you can hear Jade laugh to himself, followed by the soft crunch of footsteps against hard dirt.

“So did you enjoy your present?”

“Yep!” Floyd nods his head, playfully swinging the hand holding you as he leads you to a single rocket stuck to the ground, with a wick trailing a foot behind, “The party was nice and all, but this is more exciting!”

With a quick flick, a small flame erupts from his pen, and hands the wick to you.

“Go ahead, Koebi-chan. Light the candle and make a wish.”

“I don’t think that’s how birthday wishes work,” you chuckle before holding the wick above the flame.

You barely have time to register the faint hiss and wisps of smoke before being swept off your feet and carried away from the blast zone.

Ace: :D

MC: Go on…

That one scene from Adventure Time where Finn gives Flames Princess the kiss of life, but with MC and Idia.

Jamil: As you know, Kalim, it has always been my intention to stay with you until you had a strapping son and I one likewise, to take over the burdens of my duties.

Kalim: That's right, Jamil, and I thank you for it-
