ok so like we all remember the episode where leo ends up in an alt universe right
so what exactly would be "opposite" (since that is what i assume was the goal of the ep) and what would be like fundementally unchangeable to keep the show the same???
things to be assumed or r known
-douglas is the guardian of adam bree and chase
-ABC dont have bionics
-their personalities arent switched direct from adam turning into chase, etc (cuz then where would bree fit in) it seems more so their personalities are opposite to the original character
--adam is introspective and quiet
--bree is outwardly shallow and clearly rich stuck up girl instead of oblivious rich girl
--chase is.... whatever happened there
butttttttttt
-davenport industries never made it off the ground
-if douglas is guardian, is donald their bio dad now?
most importantly how would it change mighty med??? would they be villains? because leo didnt turn evil with bionics, which if they switched everything would be how it is.
Based off of my interpretation of their supersuits
This takes place in the idea of what we could've had in MM S3, where Kaz and Oliver become a fire/ice duo and end up having their own missions and stuff while trying to stop Bridget from messing things up further
I'm genuinely so proud at how this turned out cause genuinely how did I do this 😭
I have a lot of feelings about Douglas and Krane and even Giselle and the parallels between them. The Triton app imo is a metaphor for parent-child love or forced love, because the core of Douglas and Krane's character is that they both want love but also control and they're willing to violate people's autonomy to get it. Think of how the love a child has for their parent is all-encompassing and often times unconditional, and how it's socially acceptable to control your child's life, even your adult child. Yeah. There's a line in my WYPB sequel where Chase tells Douglas that creating someone doesn't make you their "family", and Douglas replies "you don't get to choose your family, that's what makes them family". Replace the word 'family' with 'love' and you've got the core motivation for Douglas & Krane. Thats why they still insist they love their children/family even as they do these awful things to them, because to them control and force is just part of a parent-child relationship.
This has been sitting in my drafts for a while, but in light of all the bullshit attacks on queer and nsfw creators lately, here it is I guess 🤷
I had been wanting to ditch Google Docs for years, but most "Google docs alternatives" weren't a good fit for my needs: A good mobile experience, and the ability to sync my work across devices. Most of the common alternatives people throw around are either iOS only, desktop only, or not free to use.
So it wasn't until I found @ellipsus-writes that I finally made the switch back in September 2024. The app is well-designed, works across devices, supports collaboration, AND they're staunchly anti-AI, queer friendly, and fanfic friendly! 🌈
It's not perfect (yet!) mind, but it's pretty damn close for me. Some caveats:
Formatting options are a bit limited at this time. Your font choice applies to the whole document, and things like subscript and superscript aren't available. (This is my biggest gripe atm, as my current writing project involves a lot of research and footnotes).
Ellipsus does not have a native app, so you won't find it on the AppStore/Play Store. Instead, it is a web app. It runs in the browser. But on mobile devices, you can get a more "app-like experience" by adding it to your home screen. (More on that later)
You cannot 'magically' import all of your work from Google docs into Ellipsus. You'll have to import them manually. One at a time.
But uh... One cool thing Ellipsus has that Google Docs does not? An "Export to AO3" feature! No more fixing formatting issues or having to use that "Format for AO3" user script that can be laggy as hell!
Part 1: Getting your work into Ellipsus
As of this writing, Ellipsus can only import Markdown (.md) files. So in order to get your work imported, you'll first have to export it from Google Docs (or whatever you currently use) as markdown.
The shitty thing is, Google Docs only lets you do this on desktop 🫠
So from desktop, open your document, and go to "File -> Download -> Markdown":
But once you've done that, open Ellipsus, click the "+" icon in the bottom menu, and select "Import Markdown".
Part 2: Getting that 'App-like' Experience
Open Ellipsus in your mobile browser of choice. You might get a prompt to "Install Ellipsus", but if not, just open the main browser menu. You should have an option for "Save/Add to Home screen", "Download Web App", or something similar. Select that option, and you'll get an Ellipsus icon on your home screen. Now when you open Ellipsus via this shortcut, it will open in a dedicated 'window' as if it were a native app—and without the clutter of the browser's address/tool bars!
Caveat: On my previous phone, I experienced some significant lag while typing via Firefox for Android. To get around this, I used Chrome instead for running the web app. (boo, hiss). Happy to report though that on my new phone, the lag is completely gone in Firefox! But yeah, your mileage may vary.
Part 3: Establishing Your Workflow in Ellipsus
If like me, your work is primarily longer, multi-chapter fics, the ability to export those chapters for posting to AO3 is probably very important to you... The big caveat to the exporting features in Ellipsis is that they will export the entire document. There's no way to say, "Export everything under the "Chapter X" heading.
So there's two workarounds here:
Create a folder for each story, and create each chapter as a separate document in that folder, or
Create one document for each story, and create each chapter as a "draft"within that document.
I use method #2, because I think it makes navigating between chapters a little faster, but you do you.
Consider that true appeal of drafts is the ability to merge changes into the main document. But if you're creating your chapters as drafts within a single document, this won't quite work because the merger won't know where to place this completely different 'draft' within the main document—it will think you want to replace the content of the main document entirely:
If your draft contains only the content for a single chapter, but your main document contains the rest of your story, the merger will want to remove all the other parts of your story, and also just have like... a really wonky diff check in general.
As a method #2 person: once I've finished/published a chapter, I copy and paste the content of the chapter into the main document, then delete the relevant draft. If the ability to just merge drafts into the main document as intended is important to you, then method #1 would probably suit your needs better.
Part 4: Collaborating & The Export to AO3 Feature
Just as with Google docs, you can invite collaborators to your documents, or share a link for viewing. By highlighting sections of text, you and your collaborators can also add comments:
When sharing/exporting a document or draft, you'll have the option to export to AO3:
When your AO3 account is connected, the "Export to AO3" feature will display a list of your existing works. You can choose to edit or add a chapter to one of them, or post a new work entirely.
Whatever your choice, the exporter will copy the document HTML to your clipboard and open a tab straight to the publishing form on AO3. Paste the HTML, add your tags, summary, and any author's notes, and you're ready to post!
Part 5: The Future
Ellipsus is a bit of a fledgling compared to most writing software out there and has a pretty limited feature set. However, development is pretty active, updates come out regularly, and you can also vote on (or make your own) feature suggestions!
yk what i hate though. is when i find a meme and im like THIS IS SO [cool intimidating mutual i never talk to] I SHOULD SEND IT TO THEM but then i remember ive never talked to them ever and so i cant just like give them a meme out of the blue and so the meme just withers and rots in my camera roll 😔
do you guys remember when chase wanted to drink crystal clear water but he drank crystal queer water cause marcus sucked the actual water source dry by being a fraudulent little ai?
