i haven’t gotten super far, because i can feel this one potentially spiraling into something way bigger than a fun passing concept, but the gist would be: probably a modern magic au (vaguely dc modern day but narrowing down the genre focus) where there are legends of dragons, but everyone thought they were a myth until a few years ago when one started occasionally appearing. (this is clark. basically going with “kryptonians as dragons” here.) no one knows for sure what the dragon wants or where it comes from—especially because no one knows the dragon has a human form, and therefore lives among humans most of the time. so people are understandably wary of this dragon.

for timkon, cut to: tim drake, who is up to ?? something? i haven’t figured out yet (but it’s me so make him lonely/isolated for whatever reason; this is also a tim-isn’t-in-the-family-yet au) when he comes across a whole dragon. the dragon is injured, and there’s a manacle locked around its leg that is just radiating Cursed Energy, and we have a sequence of tim gaining the dragon’s trust in order to treat its injuries and figure out how to break the curse. and of course when he does, the dragon turns into an injured boy who is apparently on the run from the alchemist who created him.

cue shenanigans and a journey and a falling in love montage and bart & cassie showing up somehow i haven’t figured out yet. maybe timkon get bound to each other somehow and there’s a big misunderstanding about it. i’m throwing spaghetti at the wall here. also made this meme for the 5 sundiscus fans who will get it 🫡

I'm just saying, a lot of people's art of lvl 10 Caleb looks a lot like phobs-adjacent Sauron art, so do w/ that what u will

17. What is your character’s favorite season?

Spring!

35. Why is your character’s lowest stat their lowest (the in-character reason, not “because there’s no reason for a wizard to have 16 strength, duh”)?

Her lowest stats are both Strength and Intelligence, which are both 10.  She’s pretty well-balanced.  But she’s teeny and a dancer, so even though she’s fit, it’s pure Dexterity.  And I mean, she’s a theater kid.  She’s not dumb, but she wasn’t exactly taking science classes at Bard School.

98. What advice would your character give to a younger version of themselves?

are you watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix? Because that is... /not/ this story, but the couple is in fact trying to flip a haunted house, and there is in fact black mold, and this post came across my dash while I was midway through the last episode, which was enough to make me go ??? with recognition

no, in fact! I adore Jackson but there’s been... one good Jackson adaptation, like, ever, so I distrust this. (it sounds like it’s fine, but I’m not sure it sounds like her.)

though there’s an adaptation of We Have Always Lived in the Castle coming soon that looks promising, maybe.

one of these days I do need to get around to watching Jan de Bont’s attempt at Hill House but I’ll need to check that the neighbors aren’t home because there will be so much screaming

It’s on Hulu in America!

Thanks!

my sympathy is limited considering she wants everyone else to deal with it for her
