A random story concept I just had:
"A demon hunter ends up becoming the chaperone of both a group of magical girls and a power rangers team. Shenanigans ensue."
Seems like a funny idea.
Like, the world is a bit of Kaiju No. 8 and My Hero, with monsters being a known thing and heroes being known, public figures.
However, these two teams are not only not part of this system of management, they're also just flat out not supposed to be. None of them have the required training and only one of them out of both teams are the legal age to even be considered for it (think about college age).
Naturally, the demon hunter learns about this, goes "what the fuck, I'm not involving myself in both insane and illegal shit", but due to situations, ends up having to make sure these actual don't die trying to fight a fuckin' Kaiju.
They also just end up crashing at his place whenever they get out of school, much to his chagrin.
So It's like two kids in a trenchcoat got made the Commissioner of a police sect and the only guy who realizes it is not only works UNDER them, but also is their babysitter when off the clock?
And the guy also happens to be like, as famous as a local music artist that does live shows.
Okay, two things:
Love the idea of the demon hunter being in the local music scene. Amazing, no notes.
Pretty much, with the only difference being his situation having a similar vibe to Aki from Chainsaw Man, but add on the stress from wrangling a shonen cast from getting themselves arrested or killed.
This man is going to lose his mind, to say the least.
Demon Hunter, entering his apartment: "...hello, children who shouldn't be here."
Red Ranger, covered in bandages and eating a family meal: "Yo."
Pink Magical Girl, also covered in bandages and eating a bento box: "Hi!"
Demon Hunter, recognizing that box: "...That was going to be my dinner."
Pink Magical Girl: "Sorry about that. I can replace it, if you're okay with that."
Demon Hunter, holding up groceries: "Considering what happened today, I bought an extra one just in case. I assume everyone else went home?"
Blue Ranger, poking his head in: "You need to improve your taste in candles, dude."
Gold Magical Girl, also sticking her head into the room: "Also, you need to replace the ink in your printer."
Demon Hunter, realizing that he's now the unwilling host of a sleepover for the third time this week:
Demon Hunter's Mom showing up out of nowhere: Who are all of you? Why are you in my son's house?
Green Ranger: ... He adopted us.
DH's Mom, definitely not buying it: ... Okay, sure! I'll bake some cookies for my grandkids!
~Elsewhere~
Demon Hunter, pausing what he's doing: There's a disturbance in the force.
The Demon he's fighting: Wha?

My dad was eating pistachios so I reached my hand out and he just started peeling them and giving them to me. Then suddenly went “I really hope you find someone who loves you a lot” and I went “enough to peel my pistachios for me?” And he laughed and said “yeah exactly” before carrying on giving me more
The Raincoat
by Ada Limón
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.
sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Primarchs Taking the Ring to Mordor
Lion El’Jonson The Lion joins the Fellowship immediately, barely says anything and keeps staring at Boromir. He just stands in the corner watching everyone argue about the ring with the expression of a man mentally placing them into categories like useful assets, security risk and future betrayal.
He would absolutely deliver the ring stealthily if everyone else just stopped talking. Unfortunately he keeps disappearing into forests and refusing to explain where he went. Aragorn respects him but also hates him slightly because Aragorn is used to being the mysterious forest man and suddenly there is a larger and colder one. Gimli hates that he can’t win an argument with a man who simply leaves.
Fulgrim He starts in the fellowship because he thinks the ring is a masterpiece, ten minutes later he’s wearing it on a chain and posing on a ruined statue. Fulgrim is fascinated by the ring not because he wants power at first but because it’s too perfect. A small and golden jewel that has caused kings to fall, nations to burn and immortal beings to speak in hushed voices. The Eye whispers: I alone understand beauty that must rule. “Finally someone with taste.” Fulgrim whispers back.
Perturabo Perturabo isn’t invited but shows up anyway with a complete engineering plan for bypassing every fortress, mountain and emotional conversation. He brings this up and everyone ignores him because the mood is very solemn and mythic. Elrond says that the ring must be carried by the small and humble and Perturabo immediately hears it as his contribution not being valued. Sauron later sends one whisper, not even a good one, just ‘They never appreciated what you built’ and Perturabo is already packing. He joins because Sauron lets him redesign Mordor’s defensive infrastructure and actually uses the word 'indispensable.' Within a month Mordor has better roads, reinforced towers, improved supply chains and a volcanic logistics network, unfortunately every orc also has to attend mandatory safety briefings.
Jaghatai Jaghatai hears ‘we must take the ring to Mordor’ and he’s already at the stables before the council even finishes. He doesn’t understand why everyone is still debating. He steals a horse and somehow ends up inventing motorcycle cavalry in Middle-earth. His version of the fellowship is a speedrun without songs or scenic pauses.
The nazgul try to chase him and immediately regret it. He feints them into ravines, circles them for sport and invents psychological mounted harassment tactics previously unknown to that land.
Russ Boromir says “one does not simply walk into Mordor” and Russ immediately stands up and accepts it like a dare. He is fond of the hobbits, they are small, brave, food motivated and prone to songs, absolute excellent pack members. Merry and Pippin love him, Sam is suspicious until Russ praises his cooking then decides Russ is fundamentally decent despite being approximately the size of a barn.
Stealth is impossible with Russ since he can’t resist howling at the moon, insulting distant enemies and announcing “I smell orc filth!” eight seconds before kicking down the nearest door.
Rogal Dorn Dorn accepts the mission then immediately identifies the real issue of the fellowship having insufficient fortifications. Within three days every place they sleep has walls, trenches, watchtowers, kill zones and a gatehouse. Middle-earth slowly becomes safer because Dorn keeps accidentally leaving citadels across the map.
He overthinks the approach to mount doom and insists on securing the perimeter, then the outer perimeter, then the inner perimeter, then a permanent garrison. The quest ends in 900 years after Mordor is fully encircled.
Konrad Curze Everyone assumed he would join Sauron but he doesn't, Curze joins the fellowship because he saw a future where the Ring wins and took that personally. He is terrifyingly effective in Mordor. Orc patrols simply disappear, watchtowers go silent, graffiti appears on walls saying things like I SAW WHAT YOU DID and entire garrisons flee because something in the dark has started judging them individually.
The Nazgul don’t enjoy him since they are supposed to be the horror element there and Curze makes the vibes weird. Aragorn keeps trying to have “redemption is possible” conversations and Curze keeps responding with prophetic nightmare statements.
Sanguinius The Fellowship’s morale goes up by 400%, everyone trusts him instantly and even the ring is briefly ashamed of itself. He makes everyone better simply by being there. Boromir confesses his weakness earlier because Sanguinius looks at him once with those sad, compassionate eyes and Boromir immediately feels emotionally convicted. Frodo sleeps better, Sam trusts him instantly, Aragorn feels both inspired and slightly insecure. Legolas is starstruck. Gimli pretends not to be, fails and then asks about the wings.
The ring tries everything to corrupt him. It shows a vision of a world saved by his hand and offers him the strength to end all suffering. Sanguinius would be tempted because he wants to spare others but he resists because he understands that evil often dresses itself as mercy.
Ferrus Ferrus thinks the entire situation is ridiculous because the enemy put too much of himself into a physical object and then lost it which is strategically embarrassing. He tries to break the ring with hammers, ancient smithing techniques and things nobody should use indoors. The Ring whispers promises of power and Ferrus responds “your tolerances are sloppy.” Sauron is insulted.
Ferrus is reliable on the road, he doesn’t complain or care about ominous weather but he keeps trying to improve everyone’s weapons without asking. He would carry the Ring if needed but he would spend the entire time furious that it still exists.
Angron Angron doesn’t join the fellowship, it simply happens near him. Someone mentions that Mordor has endless armies and he walks towards it. His presence fundamentally changes the quest because every orc within twenty miles is already dead, running or pretending to be dead.
If the Ring whispers to him, Angron screams louder. Gollum takes one look at him and decides to pursue a different subplot. He wouldn’t join Sauron because he gives orders and Angron has very strong feelings about being commanded.
Guilliman Guilliman hears the mission and immediately asks for maps, numbers, local political structures, known enemy movements, supply constraints and if the Shire has a functioning quartermaster tradition. The Council of Elrond is not ready for him. He coordinates Gondor, Rohan, Rivendell, Lothlorien, Dale, Erebor and probably three farming villages that didn’t know they were relevant.
Merry and Pippin accidentally become junior logistics officers while Sam loves him because supplies are finally being taken seriously. Aragorn appreciates him but also quietly worries that Guilliman is going to turn the restored kingdom into an administrative reform project before Aragorn even gets crowned.
Mortarion Mortarion hates Rivendell so much, it’s too much delicate immortal sadness in a single place. He looks at the elves and immediately wants to cough on their furniture. He likes Mordor because it’s honest, a landscape that hates you personally. He joins the Fellowship not because he likes anyone in particular but because Sauron is a tyrant sitting in a tower and Mortarion has opinions about that.
The Ring tempts him with liberation from overlords and a world where no one kneels, unfortunately it also speaks like a tyrant and Mortarion notices.
Magnus the Red Magnus knows more about ancient evil artifacts than almost anyone and can communicate with half the weird powers involved, that’s exactly why he shouldn’t be allowed near the ring. The council would say ‘don’t study it’, Magnus agrees, turns around and then immediately studies it.
He wants to know how Sauron bound himself into the ring and if it can be unmade without destroying so much history. Gandalf looks thirty years older after one conversation with him. The Ring loves him because Magnus always believes there is one more clever solution beyond the forbidden door. Sauron whispers, 'At last a mind worthy of discourse'. “I will hear him out.”
Horus Horus joins the fellowship and everyone is thrilled. He speaks to men, elves, dwarves and hobbits like each one matters. He gives one speech about using the ring against Sauron and half the fellowship starts nodding… the ring notices immediately. The ring shows him a land saved under his leadership, no more ancient grudges weakening the free peoples. It whispers ‘You would use me better than he ever could’. And Horus thinks, just for a second, ‘Yes. I would’.
Horus falls because he’s so good at imagining himself as the one who must make the hard choice. By the time he joins Sauron he has convinced himself he is preventing a greater catastrophe and is persuasive enough that other people believe him.
Lorgar Lorgar shouldn’t be allowed within five miles of the ring. He sees it and immediately understands that it isn’t just an object but a symbol. Everyone else says “this is evil” and Lorgar replies “yes, but what does it mean?” Within one day he has written a hymn, developed a theological framework and quietly gathered followers among emotionally vulnerable men who are frightened of the war.
Sauron doesn’t even need to work hard, he simply lets Lorgar perceive him as a divine presence. The Eye opens and Lorgar kneels.
Vulkan Vulkan is beloved instantly. He carries Frodo, Sam, the supplies, three wounded soldiers and probably Bill the Pony. The hobbits adore him and Sam specially trusts him because Vulkan respects simple food, simple courage and people who keep going when they are afraid. He is the one who sits with Frodo when the burden gets too heavy.
The ring tries to tempt him with protection showing him all the homes that will burn if he fails. Vulkan replies “no, thank you, little evil circle” with such warmth that the Ring feels personally rejected.
Corvus Corax He takes the ring, disappears from the council and three weeks later Mount Doom erupts. Nobody saw him enter Mordor, nobody saw him leave, Sauron spends the last five minutes of his existence asking “where did he go?’ Tolkien loses 800 pages.
The Ring tries to tempt him with vengeance and justice for the oppressed but Corvus only hears “become a tyrant to kill tyrants” and immediately recognizes the scam. Into the fire it goes.
(sorry, no twins! idk much about them)
“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
I fucking love when people give in-universe reasons for omegaverse shenanigans being a relatively new phenomenon and not just a fact of life. And this is probably my favorite out of all of them. Insane choice, and I want to kiss the author sloppy style about it.
As we all know, the Spanish Flu caused the omegaverse. Iconic.

Close enough welcome back Chekov's gun.
Prev you can’t bury this in your own tags
ID: A screenshot of tags left on the tumblr post. They read "#it's actually kind of a reverse Chekhov's Gun #Chekhov's Gun says "If there is setup there must be payoff" #Asimov's Tail says "if there is payoff there must be setup" #and I think the tail is also important #a tail is not something you'd expect to see on a character unless explicitly pointed out #someone stepping on the tail not only reveals its existence but also tells us things about it #eg it's floor length sensitive and the character either can't or won't keep it out of the way of foot traffic #the upshot seems to be "acclimatise your audience to things they don't understand before you use them" #you don't need to explain how a gun on the mantelpiece works in the same way you need to explain how your protagonist's tail does" End ID.
My favorite headcannon I have going for LOTR right now is that the elves that are still around by the time Frodo gets on the scene are the elvish equivalent of doomsday preppers.
I forget where I read it, but I'm pretty sure that at some point there were millions of elves on Middle-earth, and by the end of the third age, it's down to a few thousand, aka a very small portion. These are the elves that got told way back in the first age, "Hey, just so you guys know, you're totally welcome to come back and live in heaven now without any worries" and responded, "No thanks, we're good!" and then proceeded to not only hold to that but survived the next 7.000 years of bullshit including but not limited to:
Multiple continents sinking into the sea
orcs
dragons
balrogs
multiple wars with Sauron, a literal divine being
The rise and fall of several human empires
more orcs
wargs
a bunch of their territory being overtaken and burned to the ground
And all of their loved ones either dying or sailing, even though we know that grief can and will kill an elf
Like, you can't tell me that third age elves start showing up in the undying lands, where everyone has spent the last few thousand years basking in the magical equivilant of free therapy and probably have as many defence measures as a suburban coldesac, and aren't viewed as the most feral, twitchy, paranoid mother fuckers; held together by suspicion, stubornness, and at least 25 contingencies for every situation they've collectively encountered during their time in Middle-earth.
My favorite examples of feral, hyper-vigilant behavior include:
Elrond: Security clearance; sure, Turgon may have threatened to kill anyone who tried to leave his hidden city, but he also took an entire army out of and back to the city at once, and then also didn't realize that his own nephew snitched on where the city was. His security protocols sucked. Meanwhile, Elrond had hundreds of strangers coming in and out of Rivendell for over 3,000 years, at one point completely surrounded by enemies and full of nothing but a bunch of refugees, and Sauron still never found it. You can't tell me that he didn't have at least 25 security checkpoints on the way into his city(sorry, house-that means it's private property, right?), even if you didn't know they were there.
Galadriel: Paranoia; This woman was magically keeping track of everyone she knew and even did it often enought that she knew what to look for of those she couldn't directly track (gandalf) and looking into their minds and testing them. All while having Sauron constantly clawing at the walls of her mind, at least for a few years
Thranduil: Spite; it was basically only his sheer audacity holding his nuclear bunker- cough cough- sorry, I meant vast underground halls together, while his next-door neighbor was some cursed ruins, a dragon-infested dwarf kingdom, and evil, man-eating, car-sized spiders on his front lawn.
Haldir: he blindfolded the fellowship when they tried to enter his city (super secret hideout), need I say more?
Multiple examples of groups of elves jumping out of trees fully armed and ambushing anyone who wanders into their territory. And while the characters seem surprised to be ambushed, they don't seem surprised that elves ambush people in general, leading me to believe this is normal behavior.
In summary, while the elves in the LOTR and the Hobbit seem all chill and fun, I like to imagine them as the crazy raccoons of the elvish family trees that wandered in 5 hours late.
If I might add, concerning Rivendell, in The Hobbit, Gandalf struggled to find a path there. He would have gotten there soon enough even without the aid of tra la la lally elves, but nonetheless, according to the elves, Gandalf and the company were a bit out of the way of the path.
Gandalf. Who has been to Rivendell a shitton of times, probably. Gandalf struggled to fimd his way in.
And in LotR, Elrond clearly controls Bruinen in a way to deter intruders
The siege of Rivendell by Witch-King's armies during wars with Angmar lasted 50 years. Rivendell is a house, not a fortress, and it lasted half a century.
Elrond has very successfuly barricaded Rivendell against enemies. He, cannonically, had the above mentioned 25 security checkpoints
#lotr#hobbit#silm#->#when you're singing tra la la lally no one pays attention to the fact that you've id'ed every single member of the group trying to get in#and have them covered by archers who can hit a mouse in the dark (@jaz-the-bard get peer reviewed!)
