I Love This.

If Netflix's ATLA live-action series is aimed at the adults who watched the cartoon as kids, I wonder what a remake of Danny Phantom aimed at the now grown up fans would look like? Would it lean into the body horror? The dark concepts previously softened by the superhero themes and age restraints? Maybe there would even be a dissection scene! Please let it be funny though.

A popular idea in Harry Potter fanfiction is for light and dark magic to be different magical attributes/political factions and for purebloods vs muggleborns to be a culture clash that can fixed with education (or in some stories, assimilation).

In canon, dark magic is basically any particularly malicious spells and PB vs MB is undoubtedly racism. Magical KKK or Nazis if you will.

Most fanfics make light vs dark/PB vs MB into great alternative stories but occasionally I find ones that make me wonder if the writers remember what canon was about. Like, they’ll describe a character or family being neutral in the war, but if the war is about discrimination and not simply attributes or politics, if it’s a fight for people to have equal rights regardless of their blood status or species, how can there be a neutral side? Saying you don’t care which “side” wins in this context is like saying you don’t care whether muggleborns are second class or equal. Evil and injustice grow stronger when normal, good people pretend that someone else’s discrimination has nothing to do them. And when evil finally has an excuse to target you, there will be no one left to help you.

Anyway, I’m sure most fanfic authors know very well how wrong discrimination is and are just enjoying writing about magical world politics and drama, I just wish some of them were clearer about it! This post got a bit longer and heavier than I expected 🤔🙄😅

Aw, all their symbols are there.

It's a stinking hot summer afternoon and the client doesn't want the fan on, or perhaps a frosty winter morning with the heaters on full blast. It's time to get creative: your sweat dripping onto the client's back isn't sweat, it's essential oil. Sea salt and musk. Why yes, of course it's supposed to be this pungent, it's for clearing the sinuses. You're welcome.

i’ve thrown around trigun reincarnation concepts around before but fuck. i can’t believe ive overlooked the simplest one: trigun maximum reincarnated as trugun stampede. like can you imagine all the times vash has pushed up his hair in shitty motel bathroom mirrors and for a second seen a man he has never met but always known staring back? how meryl’s desire to help others and be a journalist always seemed to run deeper than she could explain? how when she hears the name Milly, there’s a strange sense if familiarity ghat flashes in her mind? how when he was a kid, wolfwood met livio and already felt like he had known this man his entire life? how wolfwood felt a similar way after seeing the fuckers that ran him over? how the reason vash trusted his eyes and saw him as a good man was cause of distant memories clinging onto his heart? how vash can’t help but feel like nai has been stuck on a loop for lifetimes but still feel the need to try and help him because he can just feel in his bones that it’ll work? how vash’s anger against the world has simmered down even when he began his life on the new planet because his bones were already dry from centuries of sand and dust? how when meryl meets vash, she can’t help but quickly believe in and fight alongside him because she can still hear his laughter in old bars after saving town after town after town while being chased out? how roberto saw the three of his travel companions alongside each other and could probably also sense a bond that went beyond time itself? it’s insane really how well this works.

New reality show idea: house renovation competition called "Generation Wars" and all the couples are, obviously, from different generations. They're all terrible at reno and their taste all embodies the worst stereotypes of their generation e.g. the millennial pair likes to paint everything beige or white.

Viewers will hate-watch the crap out of it and roast the contestants online after each episode. The contestants could use their tiktok to keep up the hype and hate between episodes.

Gen alpha are probably too young to compete, but maybe they could be assistants or guest judges?

Re-reading Karneval after Kaiju no. 8 is kind of wild. Every time the Circus crew talk about defeating their enemy, Kafka, I just think about Hibino Kafka and the face he'd make if he could hear them, lol.
