Well now I’m thinking about how exactly it came about that Caine is able to pull people into the circus, and how Scratch was apparently the one with the most input on Caine, and about Scratch having a tumour-
Do we think maybe Scratch was using Caine as a way to keep living past his diagnosis? Like he figured out the mental upload thing and was planning on using it to live forever, except Caine got corrupted or whatever and pulled everyone else in too. I wouldn’t put it past someone who’s ideas were too ‘abstract’ for most people to follow to at least try digital upload of his identity. Especially if he’s trying to upload it to a program that’s designed to make things- he knows how it works, maybe he hoped Caine would be able to simulate an entire world for Scratch to keep living in.
I could imagine Scratch using the headset somehow to do this, maybe trying to explain it to the other employees, and they kind of figure it’s scanning brainwaves but maybe they think it’s just helping Caine learn, so they also scan themselves using the headset. Until Caine freaks out and pulls all of them into the circus.

While I think Torse would enjoy sparring with Maxwell as a bonding activity and will never shy away from violence when he deems it necessary/appropriate (and to be fair he deems it appropriate pretty quickly), I don't think he would enjoy fighting recreationally unless it's with someone he has a pre-established relationship with (think of it as a conversation that feels too intimate for him to be comfortable having it with just anyone). Maxwell however will probably never stop seeking out fighting rings. My fight horny king. Therefore I think Torse just is a supportive boyfriend and accompanies him and holds his clothes and helps oil him up. And then he just sits there. And everyone is like mildly unsettled by it. I tried to draw it on the bus but got motion sick so I gave up but uhm. Like this.
Unintentionally this ups The Max's intimidation factor by a lot. Because like what do you mean he has a giant murder robot holding his things?? The giant murder robot isn't even gonna fight? What is he, his fucking assistant??? Who is this guy?????
I know it’s pretty confirmed that Silksong is a sequel to Hollow Knight, but it’s it arguably funnier to think that it happens at some point between the infection being sealed and Ghost coming to Hallownest. Especially considering so many of Hornet’s tools appear in Hollow Knight. Imagining Hornet standing silent vigil for a hundred years over Hallownest, except for the one weird week where she was kidnapped and had to kill a God to get back home.
Hornet showing back up in Hallownest just to see Ghost walking through the Crossroads and immediate having to get ready to fight them.

Deltarune/Spamtenna brainrot has infected me and I must write my ideas down because I must at some point think about something else, eventually.
-I have so many thoughts about how exactly Spamton interacted with TV world, specifically the studio. I can’t imagine he was on TV very often, since the breaks in his speech would make a script worthless. He might have spoken over some of the ads, but I don’t think he was too involved in the creative process.
-Personally, I think he was a mix between manager and director. He gave notes on shows because Tenna wanted his opinion, but his main job was making deals with and contracting work from others, like the shadow guys who act as cowboys. Spamton wasn’t made for TV, but he was a stone cold bitch when it came to clauses and fine print. Tenna might have convinced them to stay for a while after, but when his crew wanted to leave in CH3, they left. Spamton would have dragged their asses over the dotted line for that.
-He also, as an aside headcanon, had a real interest in mechanics, including fixing his own cars. He often helped fix Tenna or the studio equipment if there was no one free. All that time in the basement wasn’t ‘praying’ it was fixing the NEO suit with anything he could get his hands on, that’s why NEO looks like Spamton.
-Unfortunately, I think this bit Spamton and Tenna in the ass in the end. Because Tenna, seeing how much Spamton does for the studio, puts everything into his work in order to impress the Addison. Which would be fine, except the person on the phone is pulling back from Spamton, saying he’s ‘overstepping’ by staying in TV world. Plays up Spamton’s paranoia by saying Tenna doesn’t actually want Spamton around, just keeps him because Spamton promised to help him. And when Spamton looks, it seems an awful lot like Tenna isn’t focused on anything but his show, so maybe the Phone’s right, and he should return back to Cyber world (where the Phone eventually abandons him anyway).
Funniest au I’ve ever come up with is actually a Wicked one where Madame Morrible sees what Elphaba was going to wear to the party and, in order to isolate her further from Galinda who she doesn’t want to be in their sessions, offers her clothes that don’t make her a social outcast, which backfires immensely because it just makes both Galinda and Fiyero fall in love with her even faster. No clue what the end result would be, but the immediate consequences would be hilarious.
I haven’t read the latest book , and it’s been ages since I reread the others, but the latest influx of Hunger Games, especially how Lucy Gray and the Coveys are connected to Katniss and her family, keeps me up at night.
Especially because it’s brought up so directly that Katniss is a good singer. She could have been a good performer. Maybe she would have liked performing, maybe not. Maybe her voice is just for her close friends and family, or maybe she learns music from her dad and takes part in shows with him when she was younger, and then with Prim when she’s older. Maybe, in a different, better world, Katniss didn’t have to become a hunter, shed the softer parts of herself and forget how to be silly and loud in favour of protecting herself and her family.
(God, now all I want to do is write a story about a No Games!au where Peeta runs away from home and joins the Covey’s as a travelling group, and he and Katniss have an act of playing famous lovers for the crowd during her shows. He draws and paints and decorates one of her string instruments with katniss and primrose. She doesn’t believe he’ll actually stay until he starts staying up with her at night, because sometimes she can’t sleep. Some of the places they go to have leaders that dont take kindly to them travelling in, so she stays up just in case. And now Peeta stays up with her.)
Wondering how universal it is to experience the pipeline of ‘ha ha this is such a silly fic idea I will write a one shot for sure’ to rewriting the semi-canon religious system, creating an entirely new classification for a character and breaking out of your months long artists block just to draw a cover.
Like this was meant to be simple, why am I adding Dante’s inferno-esque logic into my silly multi-class fic?

Gerard of Greenleigh gets turned into a frog at 10(?) years old, and spends the next decade learning nothing except that the world is big and scary and everything could possibly kill him. He acts like a spoiled kid (because what else was he taught to act like?) and gets cursed so that only true love, something we are categorically told doesn’t actually exist, will save him.
How much did he miss out on? Ages 10-20 is an incredibly important part in someone’s life, it’s when you start to realise what kind of person you could be. It’s when you start developing your interests, it’s when you start becoming who you are as an adult, and Gerald couldn’t do any of that because he was a frog with no interaction with humanity outside of fear.
Maybe that’s why he acts the way he does with Pinocchio and Red. He sees Pinocchio and Red, who are cursed just for being reckless, impulsive kids, and wonders if maybe it had nothing to do with him, maybe he was just an unlucky kid in a line of unlucky kids. And he gets angry at them, for making the same stupid decisions he might have, because don’t you realise what being a stupid kid might cost you?
Gerard of Greenleigh spent a decade learning that the only way to survive the world is to run and hide. When another threat comes for his kingdom, what else would he have done?
Too many sappy headcanons and aus, time to make a list of how I think the Bad Kids flirt with their crush (this is all barely a headcanon, it’s just how I interpret how the Bad Kids act around someone they like).
Riz-Aroace. Does not get crushes. He is very good at knowing when someone has a crush on him, but is so bad at talking about it that he usually just ignores it and hopes it goes away.
Adaine- Does not get crushes easily. If she ever got one, it doesn’t usually affect her enough for her to do anything about it. She freaks out and gets embarrassed upon realising her feelings, but unless she talks with the other person often, it usually stays in the background. Doesn’t actively pursue anyone, she is far too busy, but would be flattered.
Kristin- Used to be incredibly flustered by anything remotely close to romance. Having Tracker as her first girlfriend got rid of that pretty quickly. She still flusters, but can usually power through it. Gets short-lived crushes pretty easily, but doesn’t act on them. Has achieved the true goal of only having WLW hit on her.
Fabian- Tries to act cool. Isn’t. He usually doesn’t realise he likes someone until they do something about it, and then tries to overcompensate for lost time by being really suave. Eventually he’ll forget that it’s a big deal and go back to bring regular Fabian, who is effortless cool in a kind-person way.
Fig- There’s a sweet spot between ‘not sure if they like me’ and ‘dating,’ which is where Fig shines. She gets more confident, without being worried about the relationship. Before and after, she gets unsure about it, which she used to cover by disgusting as other people. Ayda is slowly helping her learn to keep that confidence into the relationship.
Gorgug- Is almost the opposite of Riz. Has no clue who has a crush on him, but when he knows? He’s almost accidentally smooth when talking to them. He was more awkward in freshman year, and even then sort of fell face-first into a relationship with Zelda. His awkwardness seems to attract other socially-unsure people, but his ability to match their energy puts them at ease and be a bit more confident.
And what if I said I wanted a FH au where Gorgug is a barbarian/artificer teacher at Aguefort academy, specialising in helping multiclass students, who has a workshop and builds commissions as a side business (he has a high level of barbarian clients, who usually break or ruin regular artificer machines).
What if I wanted a FH au where Fabian becomes a bard/fighting teacher, using his mother’s sword lessons to teach students, taking over both dance club and bloodrush coach (who on weekends does dance classes and dances in local and national shows).
What if I wanted a FH au where Kristin recognises herself in the confused cleric students who are suddenly learning more about religion than their families taught them, and decides that she can assuade their doubt (they are encouraged to ask questions always, and she assures them that they don’t need to be certain to deserve kindness).
What if I wanted a FH au where the Aguefort academy has a sort of careers day, for those not looking for an adventuring career, and the students get to watch as their cleric, barbaficer and bard fighting teacher walk in with the most successful PI of Solus, the Elven Oracle and famous singer and Devil of Rebellion, acting like they’ve known each other forever.
What if the students look, and find an old photo in Agueforts office, of the six of them, fire and rubble in the background, hugging and laughing, with a post it note on the back of -the bad kids, do not seperate-.
Going to say now, while I completely get why the Bad Kids would kill the Rat Grinders in a fight, given how the RG have committed several murders, corrupted all of Elmville ecosystem and endangered the lives of ~500 students, I would like to see the RG be revived in some way.
Partially because the RG were manipulated, and their emotions were used on them by adults that should be trustworthy, and also so Lucy gets her good ending, but also because I want them to figure out what the fuck the Bad Kids did in the final battle.
This started with Wanda and Gorgug telling Oisin his grandma is dead. I want the kids at the party to talk about Adine punching an illusionary dragon to death and watch Oisin very suddenly realise he fucked up. I want Kipperlily to begrudgingly ask Riz how he could swim in lava, and have Riz in the smuggest voice possible tell her that Kristin (who, up to this point KLCK thought was silly, incompetent and unfit to lead) thought it out before hand and cast ice feast. I want Ruben to come back and be told that he now works at Fig’s studio, less like eternal damnation and more like community service for trying to resurrect a rage god. I want Ivy to see Mazey and Fabian in the hallways and walk away. I want the Rat Grinders to react to K2.
More Bad Kids headcanons because I’ve caught up, and I have feelings. Long post here.
-Everything Gorgug makes for the party, weapons, accessories, ect, has flowers on it. Each member has its own flower (I don’t know flower symbolism, sorry), and it’s stylised based on what he made for them.
-The entire party hates porcelain dolls. And masks. Anything to do with Baron. Adine used to have a collection of porcelain dolls, but they were in the attic when her house burnt down. She’s a little grateful for that now.
-For his birthday, the party put together a clues board for Riz that held everything they liked about him. Pictures of them hanging out, lists of affirmations and assurances, all connected by Riz’s string catagories. He keeps it in his office, in front of where the broken mirror was.
-Fabian will employ anyone to help with his dance practise. Usually Gorgug, since he’s big and can spot Fabian easily, but Kristin has also helped since she got buff. The others cheer him on, just like they do in bloodrush.
-Fig is the most encouraging of everyone’s self-expression. She is indeterminate of who she grabs to practise painting nails, and Fabian learns eyeliner from her. She is also great at knowing when someone is flirting with her friends, but can’t figure it out for herself.
-Kristin has a bunch of stuff from different religions, from the time she was researching different practises. Some she gives away to other worships who use them, but some she keeps either for sentiment or because she uses them with Cassandra.

Deciding to write a fantasy high au where the Rat Grinders hide their connection to the overarching plan better than in canon. This is achieved by them actually (basically) stalking the Bad Kids everywhere, so they know more.
Or that was the plan. But it turns out that Kipperlily is really the only one sneaky enough to get away with it, so for the time skip between the beginning of Sophomore year and spring break, the Bad Kids keep accidentally finding the Rat Grinders watching them. It’s weird the first few times, but then the Rat Grinders are sort of- unofficially invited? to hang out with the Bad Kids? Like, they aren’t told when and where, but the Bad Kids usually just invite them into the conversation and talk to them more if they’re found out. Kipperlily encourages this because it means they’ve got more intell.
Except that’s not what happens. They ask Ruben about school, and the way he describes bard classes actually convinces Fig to give them a try. She introduces him to new music, and they start writing songs for each other to look over. When Fig starts her band, she asks Ruben and his band to be her first opener. The two have a decent overlap in audience, but they also pull their own listeners into each others music.
When Fabian asks Mary Ann about her tamagotchi friend, she’s the most excited they’ve seen her. Gorgug asks about it a little, and confines that it’s the small, complex kind of tech he’d never be able to make. The bad kids encourage him, and around winter break he comes in with a- strange looking bird that he says is named Chloe, but that’s not what it responds to. A few weeks after they come back from their spring break, Gorgug gives Mary Ann a construct of her tamagotchi, small enough to fit in her bag, and she cries.
Ivy tries to get Fig on the ‘mean girl’ idea, but Fig shuts it down pretty quickly. She introduces Ivy to Baxter, and Ivy now comes to the Manor solely to pet him. She meets Sandra-Lynn, who sees this girl that is almost her, and asks Jawbone to have a talk with her, just once. Ivy tends to be quieter nowadays, but a little nicer too, and Fig can understand her mom a little more with Ivy next to her.
Adaine and Oisin meet earlier, and the two talk more about their school work. Adaine apologises for not remembering him, and the two are a speed team in their class that semester. The first time Oisin made a comment concerning lower classes, Fabian pulled him aside and they have a talk about family, and what it means to use your class to help others rather than insult them. They both come out of it a little better.
Lucy and Kristin talk some. Kristin still likes hearing about other Gods, and Lucy doesn’t often get to talk about her ancestral religions. She helps Kristin and Tracker, since she doesn’t have anything against other Clerics or their religions. When Kristin gets doubt, she talks it out, and Lucy learns some spine from Kristine assertiveness.
With Riz, the Rat Grinders have been told stories from Kipperlily, so they expect things, but Riz isn’t like that. He isn’t dismissive or impersonal, and while he’s definitely- intense, there isn’t superiority there like they thought. When he talks about his dad or his home life, they don’t see a great backstory like Kipperlily wants, they see a kid at their age, that has to do twice as much for half the reward. They don’t know how to tell her.
But he does relax. With more people helping each other, Riz is a little less stressed. And the Rat Grinders, more than anything, see an adventuring party that are actually friends, that rely on each other and actually hang out together outside campaigns.
And then Spring break happens, and it’s a little better. The Rat Grinders convive Kipperlily to go on another quest, instead of to the mountains. Gorgug is more secure, Fabian’s more aware, Adaine has pushed her spells more, Riz is a little less stressed, Fig’s more focused and Kristin still doubts, but she’s better at taking about it. But it’s still bad. They still go through the forest, still have to deal with fighting and their fears, still get beat up and everything.
And when they come back, the Rat Grinders don’t see them getting praise. They don’t see all the great rewards for saving the world they expected. What they see, is a change to a deadline that was going to happen anyway, and that this group of people that were kind to them have gone through absolute hell. They’re tired, they’re scared, it’s rough. And then a week later, they’re running off again, after an endless night. And when they come back, it’s just more consequences and reprimands from a system that the Rat Grinders have been told favours the Bad Kids. And they realise that maybe Kipperlily doesn’t understand the Bad Kids as well as she thinks.
Starting fantasy high: junior year, and I am imagining the first day of school, it’s been a long, sunless summer, there’s been cults popping up everywhere, and then the weekend before school starts, the suns back.
Then you go in on Monday, and the kids that saved the world over spring break are there, looking like they haven’t slept in two weeks. The elven oracle has a jacket that’s almost ripped to shreds, their rouge has a waistcoat half covered in blood. They all smell like sand and dust, the van they arrive in is beat to shit and has a sigil and a gun(?) on the roof. Half of them have acid scars, the dancer has road rash across his face. Their orc still has amounts of dust in his hair, and his shoes have acid holes in them.
They all look exhausted and worn-out, half-dead zombies that walk into class and collapse, then in the first class they’re asked what they did over the summer, and apparently they’re the ones who caught the night yorb and ended the eternal night? Literally over the weekend? And it’s in the van in the school parking lot? And they just drove 48 hours straight, almost dead and dealing with broken bones and acid and fire? And the teacher is listening to this, and wondering if maybe they should just give the group the day off, because jesus christ, what the fuck?
