Hi! Glad you’re finding some use for them; I’d love to have links to the finished works when you do finish them!

Regarding the Pediculus cerebri: when I first saw the post, I immediately thought of it more like roots than vines. 

Sort of like this:

Because I figured that it was closer to how the nerves on the brain looked. Even though having it as vines would certainly make it look slightly better and relate it more obviously to the other fictional disease involving plants, the Hanahaki disease.

(I thought it fit that it looked like the nerves because the disease is based on insecurities and anxieties. However, I also considered it so be a darkened bloodstream for a moment, because love is so tied to the heart and the head full of insecurities would darken the blood the heart pumps)

I didn’t really think they’d protrude because I wanted to retain the idea that it represented insecurities that are hidden? But now that I think about it, I like the idea of it getting angrier and more obvious, alongside the character’s emotions. I also like to think that it would pulse (just like a splitting headache between the eyes usually feels or like a contracted muscle that will hurt and throb until it relaxes). 

Hello, anon! I saw this and immediately got two ideas! I hope they’re somewhat useful and inspiring. Fake Dating AUs are fun. Do keep the requests coming!

1) In which Person C is a mutual friend A and C are childhood best friends, which is why C trusts A to help them pick between B and D who are both courting C. B approaches A, who knows C best, and asks for help. A doesn't like D's reputation and believes B is the lesser of two evils. A doesn't like B much but agrees to help B. B and C have a brief relationship; it didn't last because they fought a lot and wanted different things. Eventually, B and C become good friends and move on from each other. It leads to the inevitable hangout with A, B, and C where C finds out that A and B were way too compatible to not be together and pushes them to get together whenever they all hang out together, especially when C starts to date D. A and B are tricked into a date, which is when they agree to start fake dating and A even pulls up a contract. They decide that 6 months is enough to prove that: 1) A is capable of love; 2) B is over C; and 3) they aren't quite as compatible as C says. They break up publicly, listing all the things they found infuriating about each other. In private, they confess that all that they listed were proof that: 1) B could pay attention to their lover without needing a guide (like with C); and 2) they could work around each other because neither tried to kill the other in that relationship. They announce that they're still together, they just had their biggest fight then made up.

Yes, I do take requests! I’m really sorry it took so long, anon, I was finishing school requirements, but no one wants to hear about that so let’ s get on with the prompts!
