He's got his money and she's got her drugs, so they're both happy.

I see plenty of people celebrating Lahan anime day - I hope this contributes a tad bit to that too.

wait i actually got an idea

like my blorbos are stuck at the airport and there is like heavy snow bad weather and they get stranded but they need to be home by the holidays or smth ill get to that later so they are forced to shar a car with a couple other strangers they too are strangers at this point and everyone discovers things about each other and they become friends and whatever they are in my canons

like shes a i think a lawyer that has suspect shady dealings "you dont know anything about me"

hes an investigator. maybe not? it would be too cliche. maybe he like. idk probably not. not some cozy profession. retired from the army? "but i have a few good guesses"

they are traveling with uh a recently married couple, i think they own a bakery??? going home from their honeymoon. shes nice. may have landed in jail for pickpocketing in the past? her husband is like. nice nice. sometimes poison nice. they may not be married? like i do think of them as like the not marrying type in the origin story. maybe a different separated couple? friends with lawyer lady.

some sussy doctor that she has a past with

some random lady, tough and muscly idk what she does yet but in my regular story head shes like an assassin, like the big guns type more of a hitman ig. they all are some form of criminal. i think it would count as semi-magical crime and stuff in a modern city, kinda similar to a few other settings that exist in modern times.

bakery lady is a thief. the doctor is a doctor, extra sussy ver. lawyer is like daughter of a crime boss, high ranking dangerous and like very mentally ill. investigator is a police officer, hotheaded and stufff, lowkey messed up as well and i still need to come up with a reason for that. bakery guy is the poison guy that learned from his super sweet grandmother i think.

there is also this super shady guy that is like crazy and stuff. idk seems like there is too many pairings and no enough fun queerplatonic relationships cuz those are fun too like i the kind thats more like i want to sink into your skin instead of i want to be involved sexually and romantically with you. like not typical tooth rotting romance cuz thats like boring and just like. ew.

its like a minivan and who knows what will happen stuck in close proximity going cross country for needs and stuff.

the more i think about this the more i hate this so im not going to think too hard about it its just an idea anyways.

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

I LOVE THIS IDEA

I’ve been tinkering with the idea of an urban fantasy “All Fairy Tales Are True” setting where some fairy tale characters are mortals who reincarnate and live through their story again and again with no memory of their past lives, but other characters are immortal, carrying over biases and grudges and regrets from the last time they went through this.

Snow White’s dwarves keep her room exactly as she left it, and keep a wary eye on the horizon for the day she returns. When she does they treat her like a beloved daughter come home, cook her favourite meals, warn her to stay away from apples this time, and keep calling her the wrong name.

Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother found her a touch ungrateful last time, and has decided not to appear to her this time around to teach her a lesson in gratitude. This Cinderella, without the memory of the last time, is still a terrified, miserable woman desperate to escape her awful situation.

The Witch in the gingerbread house has developed a thousand traps to eat those goddamned kids. She’s failed every time. She lives a life of Sisyphean torment previously known only to cartoon coyotes.
