They Keep A List Of Favourite Weapons Of Mass Destruction Make Out Spots. Catra Likes The Ones That Feel

They keep a list of favourite weapons of mass destruction make out spots. Catra likes the ones that feel like a cave, like it’s just them and no one else exists and they can just kiss for hours. Adora says she likes those best but everyone knows her top choice is actually the interplanetary cannon where literally the whole universe watched them make out. They know because Adora, just, wouldn’t stop.  Not that Catra was trying hard to get her to stop. She liked how into publicly claiming her Adora was.

Bow’s and Glimmer’s favourite is the genetic virus lab because something went wrong (right?) and Catra and Adora ended up having kids. Entrapta’s favourite is the machine no one could figure out because every time they ‘shut it down’ it just changed things and flipped out switches. She didn’t even mind how long Adora and Catra kissed in ‘her lab’. Which normally she’s very much against (do you know how hard it is to get cat hair out of an electronoscope? No, because you always leave it to me to clean).

really like the idea of adora still having the failsafe. like. it was supposed to kill the user so why would it be coded to go away on its own? so adora just. has this bit of half magic half technology code in her that can shut down first one tech. except. it can’t work without catra. because catra was what made it work in the first place and helped adora wield it.

Really Like The Idea Of Adora Still Having The Failsafe. Like. It Was Supposed To Kill The User So Why
Really Like The Idea Of Adora Still Having The Failsafe. Like. It Was Supposed To Kill The User So Why

she glowed too. so basically i’m imagining adora and catra going around deactivating a bunch of rogue tech both on etheria and other planets and while they definitely get better at it eventually, the first few times they literally just have to make out until it activates and it is simultaneously the funniest and most awkward thing

Alternatively 

Agatha: Children, everything in this room is edible! Even I am edible! But that is called cannibalism, dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

*later*

Wanda: *giggling and whispering to Agatha* You’re so naughty. I’m going to do thing that are frowned upon by most societies to you tonight.

Tommy: *overhearing and looking horrified* YOU’RE GOING TO EAT HER?!?

Wanda: WHAT DID YOU SAY TO MY SONS?!

Agatha: ...

Agatha: He’s not wrong.

You’re somewhat embarrassed. You’d promised everyone a night to remember for the rest of their lives. The bag had been so heavy.  You’d just put it down for a moment. Okay, five minutes. Well you got a donut. How were you supposed to know that the guy next to you on the park bench picked up the wrong bloody bag?  They’d weighed the same, were equally awkward, and both were pretty unassuming black duffel bags.  Of course, your’s was full of careful planned and selected party supplies. His was full of masks, dynamite, rope, smoke grenades, and yet more empty black duffles. You’re friends were never going to trust you to plan party night again.

Although...

No, that was a dumb idea.  Utterly absurd. Only a fool would think it.  You’re hands pulled out the pouches in the bags, digging eagerly. Whoever carried all their supplies in the same bag probably wouldn’t leave the plans somewhere else, right? Right. You starred at the pouch of papers.  That looks like a map. And blueprints for a building. Schedules for the guard rotation. Calculations for explosives, maybe? Math wasn’t your strong suit. None of this was your strong suit.

But Joel worked with building things out of concrete as a quality tester.  You’d seen something not too dissimilar to the explosive calculations on Chelsey’s desk when she’s been planning to a massive landscaping overhaul. Alicia taught children, that couldn’t be much harder to keep track of security. Tiana and Jos worked as administrators for the local technical school and you very distinctly recall them bemoaning having to break into their own work computers. You had briefly worked as oilfield safety and had some (outdated) training on fall arrest. This wasn’t a team you’d pick for breaking in anywhere but you had beat the quickest scores on the local breakout rooms a number of times. 

Sighing, you shook you head at yourself. It was a nice fantasy. You were too practical (and not stupid enough) to seriously do this. Slowly, playing curiously with each thing, you packed the duffle bag full again. Dreams such as these were best left for curious children. Heart heavy you left the duffle in the corner, turning your mind to how to convince your friends that the night wouldn’t be completely wasted and they could trust you to plan party night again.  Unnoticed the pouch of papers rested on your kitchen table, half spilling it’s shameful contents for all to see.

Only a fool would think to actually go through with the plans of some random thieves you accidentally stole a duffle bag from. You were friends with a lot of fools.

You open your delivery of party supplies to find masks, dynamite, duffel bags, rope, and smoke grenades. Meanwhile, across town, some bank robbers are about to have a very creative night.

Hot take: Actual literary analysis requires at least as much skill as writing itself, with less obvious measures of whether or not you’re shit at it, and nobody is allowed to do any more god damn litcrit until they learn what the terms “show, don’t tell” and “pacing” mean.
