ryland grace canonically unable to drive, ryland grace fighting to the death for a single idea that he has so hard he writes a phd about it, ryland grace waking up and calculating "113.8 yers =(", ryland grace dancing as his first encounter with an alien, ryland grace eating twizzlers like a giraffe eating grass, ryland grace ryland grace rylanddddddd
Coltland Twins AU where they go to a lookalike contest specifically for stuntmen, even more specifically for Colt Seavers himself, and Ryland Grace wins. And Colt gets SO pissy about it because this contest was also for producers to showcase that they CAN pick out a stuntman based on their jaws or exact shade of hair or whatnot, and Ryland is just laughing his ass off
Coltland AU where Grace is able to make it back to earth before everyone gets really old (wormhole or smth thatās actually scientifically possible) and Grace is now like mega famous but heās kept his family out of the spotlight.
One day Colt announces heās bringing his brother to set, and Tomās being being annoying about it. Bragging how Coltās brother will be to busy being starstruck over him to watch Colt do stunts. The rest of the crew are kinda just going along and jokingly asking Colt if heās sure his brother can handle being around such big movie stars.
When the day arrives imagine the panic everyone feels when it isnāt some nerdy teacher that Colt talked about, but savior of the whole world Ryland Grace.
OK OK OK. SO. I HAVE AN IDEA. So we want Ryland and Colt to be brothers around the same age yeah? AND for Ryland to go to space and get back before the events of The Fall Guy. Also, you said scientifically possible right? So... what if they were only twins by a technicality?
-šš„-
Ryland Grace is 17 years old when his baby brother is born. He instantly becomes a great big brother, playing with and taking care of him in his spare time, despite soon after becoming busy with college. When Colt is 8, their parents have an accident and end up dying. And so, Ryland takes his little brother in. He promises Colt he'll never leave him. Unfortunately, he isn't allowed to keep that promise. Colt is swept up in the foster care system, where he fairly quickly gets adopted by the Seavers (distant family of Eva Stratt, she pulled strings to ensure his safety as soon as she had a spare moment)
Ages when Ryland is sent to space:
Ryland: 28
Colt: 11
Years between on earth: 25 Ā½
Years between in space: 8 Ā½ (4 traveling to Tau Ceti, six months solving the astrophage problem, 4 traveling back)(due to time dilation the travel time is condensed basically, it's complicated and I don't fully understand how and why it works. Like I kinda do, but also not)
Very important note: there was NO Taumoeba leakage. Rocky is fine (just missing his bestie) and so is Erid
(Ryland sends the beetles ahead of the Hail Mary to ensure earth is saved as soon as possible. The beetles are able to travel at twice the speed as the Hail Mary due to their size and lack of passengers. Thus, Colt is 31 when the beetles arrive, the sun begins to heal, and Ryland Grace is hailed as the Sol Savior of the world. The beetles arriving and the sun starting to restore also means the film industry picks up a bit more at this point, though it was still going during the astrophage crisis due to the human need for escapism and entertainment.)
Ages when Ryland comes back:
Ryland: 37 (due to the time dilation)
Colt: 37
It would be so interesting to see Ryland and Colt navigating their brotherly relationship together. Ryland never got to see Colt grow up, in fact the last time they saw each other Ryland was Colt's guardian, and now they're equals. So that's gonna cause friction
I have more ideas for this AU concept (including elements of Starstruck), but it's past 5am and I should probably sleep... (BUT I DON'T WANT TO.... But I must.... How about I try to sleep and if I can't I'll come back? Yeah? Yeah.)
this one goes out to everyone old enough to be watching heated rivalry like š¤©š š¤¤š¬
Okay hey. Hi. I have a dissociative disorder and I was a huge stucky fan in like. Middle school? Idk not important. Anyway. Ib that last ask: the absence of memory being the scariest part to Bucky.
He remembers fear. Remembers that it hurt, but not the pain. Remembers confusion and disorientation and flickers of things - lights, a body-like shape somewhere near him, a unspecified pressure on his skin - but not events.
He remembers wanting to go home and an ache in his chest and a fear so horrific he wanted to throw up even when he knew he wouldnt. He remembers his eyes unfocusing and the hum of voices near him. He remembers that events repeated and repeated and repeated until he doesn't know when it started or ended.
But he doesn't remember those events.
He doesn't remember how he was held down. Doesn't remember restraints snapping into place or a light being shone in his eyes to check if he's conscious. He doesnāt remember the bite of a needle or the process of programming.
All he remembers is flashes of fear and pressure and temperature, and an ache for a place (or was it a person?) -shaped hole in his heart.
And somehow, that's worse than the rest of it.
The fact he doesn't remember.
(What - who? - made him forget? Why doesn't he remember that either? Wouldn't that be... worth it, to remember?
...wouldn't it?)
Ohhhhhh yesss yummy good good stuff...
Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name
for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!
I think I know how this works.
For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.
So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?
Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?
Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.
Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.
Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm
Whatās the solution then? Or if thereās no solution, should we make things even queerer and more diverse?
Starstruck has consumed my life
āHaha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.ā
Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.
āY2K came to nothing amirite?ā
Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.
āRemember the hole in the ozone layer?ā
You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?
One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those āitās gonna be an apocalypseā disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.
The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.
And I still think thatās going to happen. I donāt know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope wonāt help bring it about.
And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.
Starstruck but they dated before Ryder was super famous (before he was even signed to Gail) and he's Tom's "one that got away" that he never stops thinking about. Like in that 'stop thinking about him' way but that inadvertently leads to him thinking about Ryland more.
WAIT YALL KNOW THAT MEME OF THE POST-ITS ON THAT GUYS CAR DASH THAT SAYS "don't text her" That's Ryder. His thoughts on that are: If I text him I lose the idgaf war. Which will eat his pride and we know how he is about that.
EDIT: I FOUND IT
Ryder's car real:
Jason: hey Tim. Was going through your closet and found your secret stash of Barbie dolls.
Tim: liar.
Tim: I didnāt play with Barbie dolls.
Tim: it was either Bratz dolls or My Scene.
Jason turning to look at Dick whoās recording what they thought would be an embarrassing moment like heās in the office.
Jason: my bad.
Headcanon that when someone gets injured during a fight, (the clearly underaged) Robin at the time sometimes run into the nearest convenience store and buys vodka to clean the wound~
Imagine.......When Dick is Robin, he gets into a fight with a group of gangsters, and a civilian gets injured. Panicking, Dick runs into the nearest convenience store, looking for something to clean the wound with. Naturally, the workers are very confused as to why a little boy in a brightly coloured costume is attempting to buy a bottle of vodka. They eventually sell it to him on the grounds of "Batman would probably beat us into a pulp if we said no."
Over the years, this happens several more times, even continuing whenever there's a new Robin. Convenience store workers in Gotham have gotten so used to brightly coloured children coming in and purchasing alcohol that when a new person starts working at one of the stores, no one even thinks to explain what the hell is going on.
---
Store Manager: āand last but not least, remember to ask for an ID before selling alcohol to anyone who might be underage.
New Employee: understood.
Robin: *enters, in full costume and covered in blood. walks to the back on the store, before returning and placing a bottle of vodka on the counter with a thud*
Store Manager: *immediately begins ringing him up*
Store Manager, smiling: that'll be $20.
Robin: *hands over the money and leaves with his bottle of vodka*
New Employee: ...
New Employee: ......
New Employee: ........that was a child. That was a child in a Halloween costume. You just sold alcohol to a child in a Halloween costume.
Store Manager: oh yeah, that's Robin. We don't actually know how old he is.
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
everytime i fight a new villain i worry that theyre gonna exploit my weakness: a really large cup and a very big piece of paper
have you never heard of spiderman before?
Shane doesn't want kids. He's never said so in so many words, but Ilya's read between the lines. He remembers Shane's interview after Pike asked him to be his daughter's godfather. How the interviewer had asked if he hoped to have kids of his own one day. How Shane had gone a little blank and guarded the way he does whenever he's asked a difficult question. How he'd come back with a perfect media-trained answer ("Not sure. Right now, my responsibility is making sure the cup comes back to Montreal. That's my baby.") How every similar question after that was met with a similar answer, until eventually reporters learned to stop asking.
So Ilya knows that Shane doesn't want kids. And that's fine. Ilya thinks he does want them, but not so badly that he couldn't live without them if Shane didn't want them. Their family is already perfect, just the two of them. And Ilya gets to help look after Pike's kids sometimes, and he adores those kids, so that's good enough.
That's why Ilya is completely blindsided one day when Shane turns to him after settling all the Pike kids down for their afternoon nap, and says, "Do you think our kids would be this easy to settle if we ever had them?"
And Ilya's so shocked that his brain has to buffer for a moment. He's just staring at Shane, whose cheeks are now flushing with colour. Ilya can't figure out where to start with this conversation, and the longer he's taking to reply the more awkward Shane is getting, until eventually his eyes drop to his hands. "I mean, uh, nevermind. Forget I said anything. I just thought... nevermind."
This snaps Ilya out of it. "Where is this coming from? I thought you didn't want kids?"
And Shane has a little confused frown on his face. "I've always wanted kids. I thought you might not want kids. You always get a little weird when anyone brings it up in conversation. I can't ever get a good read on what you want."
And this is truly not how Ilya thought this conversation was going to go if they ever had it.
"But what about all those interviews where you avoid the question? All that 'the cup is my only baby' stuff...?"
"That's because it's a stupid fucking question and none of their business," Shane laughs. "And also because it's not something I thought I'd ever be able to have. Not when I couldn't imagine ever being happy with a woman. Not when I thought I'd never be with someone I actually wanted to build a life with. But with you? Yeah. Yeah one day when hockey is done, Ilya Rozanov, I'd really like to have kids with you. But only if you want it to."
And Ilya smiles Tampa-bar bright, and swoops in to kiss Shane all giddy and messy, following it up with at least a dozen more peppered all over his face.
"Of course I want to have babies with you. They would be the most beautiful babies in the world," he says. And then he looks around the living room. "How mad do you think Hayden would be if we made our first one right now?"
He's waggling his eyebrows, and Shane laughs and shoves him.
"Fuck off, asshole," he says, leaning in to kiss him again. Before pulling away, lips still brushing Ilya's, Shane mutters, "When we get home, I'll let you try to make as many as you want."
That one scene from uhh
"cool"
Obsessed with the idea of Shane randomly encountering Bad Bunny at a bar just like he encountered Rose. (Because he has the BEST luck.)
But he doesn't know who Bad Bunny is, and Bad Bunny doesn't know who Shane is... So they're both just making small talk with this hot guy they met at the bar while they wait for their drinks. They're enjoying talking to someone who doesn't know their celebrity status. And Shane is getting a little flustered despite being married, because damn if this guy isn't his type, and Bad Bunny is lowkey flirting with him.
And then Ilya shows up and has a heart attack. Alternating between fanboying over Bad Bunny and wanting to fight him. Just standing there frozen with this bonkers expression on his face.
And Shane is completely oblivious. "Hey, you're back! I ordered you a beer. Oh, and this is Benito. Benito, this is my husband Ilya........... Baby, are you okay? Why do you look like that?"
