canon facts from the rvb fanguide

-back when grif was a sergeant still he promoted simmons and called him a hero for deactivating the firewall so he could look at porn on the bases only computer

-after a debriefing with a unsc officer and she left the room tucker saw there was a computer there and also immediately went to go watch porn. there are more porn mentions in this book than i am comfortable with

-donut was def planning on flirting his way to the top with sarge in the hopes of getting a promotion. this is very explicitly mentioned.

-o’malley has terrible handwriting and he kept a journal where he wrote down his evil plans with doc. when he wrote that he was going to start selling cookies door-to-door and pocket the cash instead of donating it he just drew a frowny face. just “:(” . he was so sad

-right before the reds and blues arrived kimball gave a speech and then served all the rebels ice cream. bitters deduced that palomo had probably never actually had ice cream since when he got brain freeze he just started screaming on the floor. kimball actually laughed

-church met/remembered meeting tex first when some asshole was beating him up cause he made a snide remark and she fucking decked him in the face and he was sitting there on the floor bleeding looking at this woman who just knocked some other guy out like “oh fuck i want this woman to be my wife”

-before blood gulch grif lived on a doomed colony in which all the other people but him were wiped out and it’s played up as a joke because everyone just thought he was dead but he was just sleeping and so he was the only survivor but fuck man thats like a double tragic backstory

-during his time at blood gulch simmons had written a text adventure game with little to no actual interactivity in which you press enter to progress to the next event. 

-where did you think he got the idea.

-where did you think private Richard Simmons, a known nerd, got the idea for a humorous story modelled to resemble a text-based adventure game. where did you think he got the idea. where do you think he got the idea.

Heyyyy Its everyones favourite fugitive!! I wanted to mess around with lighting in this new style.

Also uh that hidden one really does a number on the eyes so I’ll put it under the cut. Along with some close ups!

Jingle moment!!!

I think it’d be really sweet if Solano Hills Productions put out their own Architects of Tomorrow inspired show. Maybe Angela teaches all about coding Bill Nye style and Trevor comes up with catchy lil piano tunes that reinforce the lesson of the day. It’s not one of studio’s main projects; it’s more a labor of love than anything, and they’re not expecting it to become super popular or make the company any notable amount of money. It’s just Architects of Tomorrow was such a positive influence on both of them, and I think it’d make them happy being able to use their platform to pay homage to that show while putting their unique spin and personalities on it.

Running with @octopus-in-disguise 's idea of Solano Hills productions making their own architects of tomorrow inspired show :)

This is an absolutely off the wall AU but I was listening to the Spirited Away soundtrack and started wondering what would happen if I shoved my darling blorbos into a similar plot and here we are.

So I figure the premise would be Trevor moving a fair distance for work—the company he works for (probably something pretty similar to INAC) has opened a new headquarters somewhere and is relocating a significant number of its’ staff. Trevor, not having much to tie him down to his previous home, is pretty ambivalent towards uprooting himself to go somewhere else.

He’s giving his work friend Gus a ride to Gus’ new apartment (idk why Gus doesn’t have his own car, I just need someone to function as the same catalyst that Chihiro’s parents were because tbh I can see no way that Trevor would enter a creepy abandoned theme park of his own volition and Gus seems to fit the bill pretty well). Gus is helping Trevor navigate with a big ol’ road atlas and he’s doing a pretty good job of it up until he misreads the atlas and accidentally sends them up a remote country lane. Just like the movie, they wind up in front of a crumbling facade—the entrance to an abandoned theme park. Trevor is immediately ready to turn around and try to recalculate their route, but Gus is tired of driving and lobbies to take the opportunity to stretch their legs. Trevor isn’t so sure—something feels off to him—but Gus announces that he’s going to go explore with or without him and there’s no way Trevor’s going to let him go in there *alone.* So he grabs Kovacs, because he doesn’t know how long they’re gonna be out and he doesn’t want to leave his beloved turtle alone in the car, and reluctantly follows Gus inside.

They have a look around, but it starts getting dark and Trevor is more than ready to head back. Gus says he can smell food and wants to find out what it is. Now beginning to feel that something is seriously amiss, Trevor argues that whatever food they find here probably won’t be that great because the place is abandoned, to which Gus teasingly responds that maybe if Trevor had stopped at that McDonald’s he’d pointed out an hour back instead of forging on, he wouldn’t be forced to take such extreme measures. Naturally, they find the spirit restaurant and Gus tucks in. Trevor, seriously spooked, wanders off to wait for Gus with Kovacs. Then the spirits start coming out. Trevor freaks out, rushes back to find Gus and get the hell out of there, and promptly finds that Gus has been transformed into an animal (I’m not sure which kind—it feels sort of mean to turn him into a pig but maybe that’s just me). Trevor attempts to go back only to find a massive ocean has appeared where the exit once was. So all in all Trevor is having a bad time of it. Enter Angela!

She guides Trevor into a secluded spot away from the chaos of the emerging spirits and explains that the theme park is actually a theatre meant to entertain the residents of the Spirit Realm, run by the witch Vivian. Angela herself is a permanent employee of the theatre, as she can no longer remember her true name and is thus eternally at Vivian’s service. Trevor is terribly confused about everything and still quite frightened, but Angela manages to get through to him that the only way to remain safe here is to secure employment under Vivian, and Trevor decides to trust her. She sends him to seek out her colleague Gene, who might have work for Trevor or otherwise be able to help him get a meeting with Vivian. Trevor sets off with Kovacs in hand, determined to at least try his best to get out of this insane situation.

Gene has no work for Trevor to do, and instead guides him through the Theatre to have an audience with Vivian. Initially insulting Trevor by stating he’s too boring and untalented to be part of any of the actual performances, Vivian assigns him work as a stagehand in exchange for his name, which she replaces with the number 10-3-92.

That’s all I’ve got so far. I know Angela probably spends most of the plot trying to thwart Vivian and find a way to get Trevor back to the human world, but I haven’t thought up all the details of how that works out yet. Does Vivian have some kind of master plot here like in the original game? I have no idea. Possibly Angela decides to leave with Trevor after he helps her remember her real name (which I figured in this AU would be Àngela Guardiana)? Idk there’s a lot of loose ends here I just had to get the brainworm out.
