Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Bonus:
When Lester has amnesia, he falls in with Carter and Sadie, and starts learning Egyptian Magic. Set has opinions to share.
How much of the bread bowl are you supposed to eat? The whole bowl is edible. You have to eat SOME of it. But where are you supposed to draw the line? Is it too gluttonous to eat the entire thing? Too fickle to only eat the soup and touch the bread?
I feel lied to. This is where the bugs bunny NO meme cokes from
If you've just discovered Billford from the Book of Bill you'll enjoy:
Knowing Me Knowing You on ao3!
If you're looking for fanfic to read that hits on the key dynamics from the Book of Bill, (despite the bulk of the fic existing before the books release) look no further! In the interest of tooting my own horn, to celebrate the new chapter I'd like to recommend a fic inspired by ABBA BABBA's musical back catalogue!
If you read the book of bill and wanted to see more of:
toxic old man yaoi billford
pre-betrayal worshipful billford (plus canon typical gravity falls anomaly research and hijinks)
post betrayal angsty possession billford (with bonus BORD!)
interdimensional cat and mouse portal billford (catch me if you can!)
Stanford getting it on with a triangle (and a human bill pre-betrayal) in many weird and wonderful ways
complex relationship dynamics between Ford, Fiddleford and Bill
Institute of Oddology toxic fidd/author/bill side story
Heist after heist with the henchmaniacs
Ford's portal adventures!
Terrible jokes that will make you laugh anyway!
A power dynamic that levels the playing field (Ford in control) and then decimates the field altogether!
Ford fell first, Bill fell harder!
Fleshed out backstories for the wider cast in Gravity Falls and a story that respects everyone's agency!
A Billford fic that takes a break from the toxic ship to spend a chapter with Stanley pug smuggling in New Mexico
Morally ambiguous Jheselbraum with past connections to Bill
Lottocron 9 and the infinity sided dice (including Ford's trip to the M dimension! Hate that place!!!)
Then you might enjoy this fic! It's just updated, with more chapters on the way, so if you're ready for a journey into mystery, mayhem and mischief, strap yourself in!
*author's disclaimer - Book of Bill DID align exactly with my fanfic and I was not disappointed!
qsmp has accidentally stumbled into a psychology experiment that would make the stanford prison experiment sob in fear. they’ve gotten a bunch of cc’s, and tens of thousands of viewers, to be deeply emotionally connected to pixel eggs. in doing so they’ve presented a problem:
how the fuck do you get outta this
the eggs were obviously never intended to be permanent (logging on every day to do tasks isn’t feasible to upkeep forever) and they were even given a vague limit of When Mama Dragon Comes Back (and then, of course, the “6 days til they die” thing). now you’ve made it so quackity (and his team) have a big ol dilemma, where two things are true: 1) they can’t keep the eggs forever since it’s not sustainable 2) you can’t take away the eggs without, oopsies, emotionally damaging your friends that you invited to have fun on your server.
turns out, when you give a group of humans all their own fully-realized individual who presents as a (weak, vulnerable) child that is in need of care from them, whatever instinct has kept us alive for generations goes “!!!!!” which is both really cool and compassionate, but also kinda concerning!
because, well: not sustainable! and if the eggs aren’t sustainable, what’s the alternative? killing them?? no! just look at jaiden’s reaction to bobby “losing” a life, even when it wasn’t his last one. or bad’s genuinely heart wrenching reaction to dapper losing a life. or how quiet and angry phil got after chayanne and tallulah had a “nightmare,” before it was resolved. that’s not acting. that’s real. what the hell will they do if the eggs actually die? from what i see, the cc’s are taking the “6 days til death” thing as something that’s avoidable. a threat that can be overcome. and for their sake, i hope it is.
ever played a dnd game where you actually feel insulted bc of smth someone’s pc did? yeah. that x20 because there’s SO much overlap between “streamer persona” and “literally just who they are”. and this level of roleplay character bleeding is cool, but i hope the eggs are handled carefully, or all those involved might end up actually hurt.
there’s also the whole added element of fans, many of whom only tune into the streams for egg content. the plot is very egg-centric. the roleplaying and characterization that the cc’s are doing is all centered around the eggs in one way or another. it’s been going on for a month, but it does not feel at all resolved, and plot-wise it would completely mess up so many plot threads happening if the eggs were all to go (charlie’s unresolved deal with lil j, quackity’s goal to bond with tallulah, the trial, etc etc) so if you take away the eggs, you risk messing up the whole vibe they’ve got going on, and facing backlash from fans who are also emotionally compromised by pixel eggs
we inherently want to protect the cute and vulnerable, and by god are these eggs cute and so very fragile. (then, there’s another layer of people’s own issues that they project onto the eggs. be it desire for paternity, some kind of maternal instinct, or, even in the matter of chayanne, using chayanne as a sort of way to cope with loss by making connections between chayanne and technoblade. which is beautiful and very sweet but would give chayanne dying some additional emotionally charged elements which i think should be avoided at all costs). there’s a reason that movies and other media generally do not kill named children characters—audiences really hate it. it’s taboo for good reason.
which leads us to
schrodinger’s egg: until sunday, they r both alive and dead. and this is both good and bad. god help us all
i think someone should put badboyhalo and goodtimeswithscar in a room together and see what happens. they have the same 'deceptively PG, sweet, and wholesome' schtick but in opposite directions somehow. i think scar would try to sell crypto to bbh and then they would murder each other.
SOMEONE ALREADY CRACKED THE WEBSITE AND GOT A MAJORITY OF THE SECRET CODEWORDS! I'm putting them all here in image form because there's a crapton, have fun!
6 images in all, you'll probably have t. Save them and zoom in. Go nuts ya'll!
Just some things I think deserve a super accurate movie/show adaption in a beautiful 2D animation style:
The How to Train Your Dragon series
Gregor the Overlander
Artemis Fowl
The Adventure Zone
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (fr so much was left out of the 1939 film!)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
The actual Little Mermaid story (there are a ton of adaptations I haven't seen yet so maybe it exists somewhere but we all know Disney’s didn’t even come close)
The complete, translated fine print at the bottom of the soul contract:
This contract is legal and binding. We reserve the right to use your likeness, face, voice and small town pluck in whatever nefarious manner is deemed necessary. Sans soul, your soulmate will not recognize you and will walk right past you on a cold autumn day, never making eye contact, not even processing that you have eyes at all. No amount of interaction will move them to a place where they can remember, in feeling, the thousands of lifetimes you have already spent together, each time choosing whatever form would keep you closest like otters holding hands in a tumultuous river. You were birds, you were trees with roots entangled, drinking in the sunlight together. Wherever we go next, whatever you choose, I will always be right there with you. That’s done, buddy. Congratulations, you have chosen Bill instead. McDonalds reserves the right to put a giant yellow M on your torso and forehead and send you walking through a crowded Times Square while you scream “the fries! The fries! They don’t degrade in nature!! It’s an immortal food!! They will be in the landfills long past our deaths!” Good god, the things I’ve seen. Me, who am I? Oh I’m Bill’s previous lawyer. He put my soul into a quill pen so I can write his legal documents until the sun snuffs out like a candle in this sick universe. I used to be so hot. I was so fine. Now I’m fine print. Speaking of which, Bill reserves the right to put your soul into an inanimate object, a strange creature, a concept, a sentence, a tasteful but rustic mason jar with wildflowers. If at any point you wish to have visitation rights with your soul, you will be swiftly denied, unless you had a cool day planned for the both of you. Then Bill might want to come along. By signing this document you forfeit any rights to eating soul food. It will turn to ash in your mouth. A fitting punishment for a fool who squandered the only true gift life owes you. Bill reserves the right to dress your soul however he deems necessary, especially if your soul was a nerd before acquisition. Soulmakeoverrr! Your soul may become fractured and placed into different objects. This has no purpose and will not resurrect you if you die. Signee has forfeited all rights to any afterlife, including by not limited to: heaven, hell, purgatory, big corner-flow state, the dream house, the reincarnation processing center, axolotl’s tank and consequences hole. Signee can no longer board the soul train and is advised to discard all bellbottoms. Signee can no longer have a puppy as a best friend; they can sense what is gone. Cats are indifferent. Signee may experience occasional demon possession from Horculu the Red, Plabos the Merciless, Morbus son of Mortem, Plaga the Oozing, and other such common demons roaming Earth searching for weakened, empty vessels. Tips for ripping out your soul at home: watching youtube commentary channels, attending an extended family event with an open bar, using generative AI and asserting that you are creating, turning a blind eye to human suffering, amassing more wealth than needed, purchasing a blue checkmark.

for those curious, quotes came from here...
...and was also loosely based on this actual moment on the genloss set (i just had to canonize it)
cries
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm hiiiiii turned a vaguely homoerotic poem i made about a mosquito i didn't want to kill into. this. yay đź‘Ť
fr though it entertains me so much how confused melkor is gonna be when he gets out of bastard jail, like
his castle is a crumbling ruin, and it's not where he left it, because the continents have shifted. nobody seems to have heard of the guy who should've been running things in his absence; where the fuck is mairon? balrogs are extinct now, apparently? he can't find any spiders larger than his hand. who made torture illegal??? where are his temples, his worshippers? human sacrifice is out too?? since fucking when???
just. melkor on the world's longest and most frustrating road trip, trying to track down his old ally so he can find out what happened to all his stuff
meanwhile, sauron, living out his power-deficient exile somewhere rural and horsey so he can still work as a blacksmith, looking up at the tv in his regular bar one evening and - yep, that's his ex from the beginning of time on the news, being wrestled out of the airport yelling about witchcraft and false gods
I have so many fem Light Au’s but this one is by far my favorite.
To start there are something’s I head and for her no matter what like, she would win, no questions asked she is going to dominate the world. She is much more cruel, violent, sadistic, manipulative, etc you get the point. She is not afraid to play nasty and use any advantage she has to destroy those that oppose her. She would never be monitored by cameras or handcuffed to L because
“Why does this foreign older man want to constantly monitor/be handcuffed to a pretty young girl? Sounds like a perv to me.” Soichiro would not allow that to happen to his daughter and thus L loses a lot right there and then. The task force would be even less supportive of L because they all would absolutely love Light and hate how he wants to treat her.
In some of my au’s Light would try and flirt and seduce L but not in this one. If she were to do that sometimes I headcanon that she is successful and sometimes she’s not (just depends on my mood lol). In the cases she isn’t successful I imagine she would get even worse and nastier.
Fem Light is quicker to violence with L and would often get into physical altercations with L which makes the task force trust L even less, because not only did he “do something to so terribly upset her or maker her afraid” but he also attacked her.
She would not be afraid to make L look like a horrible person and basically force him to be super careful with what he does.
Fem Light would never keep the mask on around just L, so nobody but L knows her true personality.
Onto the specifics of my favorite AU. In this one Light is basically viewed as an Angel by everyone and I mean everyone. She does tons of community service stuff and fundraisers that she organizes, she is the top student nation wise, she is a tennis world champ, she has done national beauty competitions and won. She is friends with celebrities like Misa and the real HIdeki Ryuuga, she is considered Japan’s sweetheart or whatever and is constantly in the public eye because of how perfect she is. She has done so many amazing things for tons of people and is so well loved that even if she flat out murdered someone on world wide tv program people would jump to her defense. All of this basically means no matter what L is screwed in trying to catch Kira.
When she is around L and nobody else she starts to show her true colors. She threatens him, fights him, mocks him (only in regards to her being Kira) and she is basically no longer wearing a mask. She still actually helps in trying to catch Kira but its just for her enjoyment because both her and L know the truth and they both know he can’t really do anything.
If L were to somehow put her in solitary confinement it would absolutely get leaked to the public and people would be enraged which just helps Light.
She wouldn’t be afraid to grab L’s collar and pull him close and whisper threateningly say something like
“ You are never going to catch me, so you might as well stop fucking trying, kay?”
I think L would also start being pretty nasty (not holding back) once he sees exactly what he’s up against. Eventually I think they would stop with the up front hostility towards each other because they are around each other all day trying to solve the Kira case, so they kinda just get to be themselves around each other which is vastly different from how they are around others. I think what eventually would get them together would be that Light would mellow out some as she got older (less angry all the time) and both of them realizing how much they enjoy working together. Light would still keep killing but not to the same extent as before and the Kira case eventually is declared unsolvable and everyone has to move on. Light and L continue to work together and eventually Light meets Mello, Matt, and Near and they are all pissed that she got away with it.
I really like this Au because I like the thought of L having to deal with an absolute tyrant that everyone loves. I also love the thought that neither of them feel the need to be anything but themselves around each other and neither try to hide how toxic they are.
out of curiosity, what does saint vanilla do when he finally corners and grabs a cookie? like does he just put a hand in the middle of their face or does he actually hug to "comfort" them (probably also keep them still) as they're "purified"?
It begins with the warmth of his hug, like an old friend that has missed you for so long. The soft and silky robes remind you of an inescapable web that you struggle within. He tells you that it’s okay to be afraid, the bleakness of your soul has gone so long without seeing the light, but that’s why he’s here to help you.
Your skin starts to sting, spreading from his palms to everywhere on your body. It turns from an itchy feeling to a burning sensation, hot and searing and so, so painful that it forces you into a fit of painful screams and cries. Saint Vanilla’s voice remains level as he comforts you through it; you can hear him excited for you, proud of you even; he’s thanking you for seeing the light, and you can feel his tears soaking into your skin.
You begin to feel light as the pain becomes unbearable. You see your skin beginning to dissolve like paper in water, drifting away in tiny pieces which fade into glimmering stars.
You realize in your panicked stupor that the sparkles adrift in the air around the village where he’d found you aren’t mere magical decorations, but the remains of your friends and loved ones who met the same fate.
It’s too late for you to escape, as the weightlessness has consumed your lower body, and the beast clutches you tighter. In your final moments, the agonizing pain fades to a numbness, enough time to allow you to emit one more desperate wail to the Saint. He simply smiles as the last of your being dissolves and joins the starry canvas.
Then, the Beast of Penance picks up his orchid staff. He could’ve used it to deliver you to salvation as well, but you were just one, not many; and you were the most afraid of all of them. Why, with his poisonously huge heart, would he not be by your side to comfort you?
"As long as you stay"
"They too, will stay"
You don't wanna know how long this dang piece took me.
I had a little concept where if something happens to the original, it happens to the other universes of the original as well. So thank of it as 'if you keep living, your counterparts too will live' kind of concept.

A little comic to sort of rework the ending a bit better ish. Some inspiration from @sicklyseraphnsuch's writing here. Some notes in the cut!
Ok, so I wasn't the biggest fan of the show's execution of the ending. Thought it was underwhelming, spent time in the wrong places, and accidentally made Simon carry a bit more blame than he should've.
My fixes would've been to smoosh more moments of Simon learning this lesson + his importance in his universe earlier in Winter King + The Star. Ep 9 jumpcut to the bus sequence again, sans the letting betty go bit, as it's revealed he's in Golb's presence. Cue an entire episode flashing through his and Betty's lives, because I think we never got to really hammer into Simon that life is worth living/moving on with despite their mistakes (he realises those mistakes himself earlier, and we don't need that Casper Nova nonsense.) Bla bla bla Ep 10, after a proper apology, thank you, and goodbye, we can satisfactorily blow Simon home etc. Half of the remainder ep to answer burning questions about how him + Fionna + Cake are healing. Anyway. Obviously I can't do those cinematic things in a comic, and I admit the script in this one could be cleaner/tighter but whatever haha. Enjoy! Please don't repost elsewhere thank youuuu
Love how bsd fans are faced with the most Impossible Situations Ever and come out with the wildest theories and-without fail-every single fucking time, the canon explanation for Whatever The Fuck Just Happened turns out to be so much more wild.
day 1 without ao3: i have gone through all 5 stages of grief multiple times and have invented a 6th. i will not disclose what the 6th stage of grief is.
I love just how unhinged the lssmp and content smp corner of the internet is. Like Clown trapping Branzy in the end with him. Spoke's apotheosis using the wormhole exploit. Any mod R4t has ever made for Content Smp. And of course lets not forget almost every video Kaboodle ever uploaded.
