Builderman being a chronic yearner and Shed making fun of him for it. I’m talking staring wistfully into the distance while daydreaming, sighing longingly when he sees you, drawing doodles of you two together on blueprints. He’s making crafts and trinkets, or even tools or machines that he thinks you might find useful only to chicken out of giving them to you. Maybe he actually does try but any attempts get ruined one way or another. Shedletsky sees how hopeless he is and decides to become Builderman’s self appointed Wing Man (heh) only to be just as successful as Builderman is. Somehow something always gets in the way be it weather, people, workplace emergencies. More than once has a hacker gotten in the way of Builderman’s attempts at getting your attention and it doesn’t help that he sucks a flirting.

Builderman: Shed, don’t you have a wife? How’re you so bad at this?

Shedletsky: Shut up that’s different. I’m pretty sure you’re cursed or something.

So they go to Brighteyes for help and she has just as much luck with it. She even got a date set up between you two once, only for the restaurant that you were supposed to meet at be demolished the day of by exploiters. Fuck.

So when you came up to him to ask HIM out on a date, you can imagine that the poor guy just about started sobbing out of joy. Like on his knees type shit. Goober.

Half baked Blocktales x human reader thing.

God this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks.

Reader gets isekai’ed into blocktales, maybe just outside of turitopulis, sees robloxians and rightfully assumes that they won’t be welcomed with open arms, so they start living in the forest, occasionally stealing from the town out of necessity. Mayor Thaniyel gets word of the thievery as well as rumors of a monster in the forest and logically connects the two.

He goes out venturing for this so called “monster” and meets reader.

Reader freaks out and runs away, thinking he’s going to attack them. Mayor Thaniyel takes pity on them, because despite being fucking huge they are obviously frailer than they should be and very frightened. Cue Mayor Thaniyel’s parental instincts kicking in over time.

Griefer initially thinks it’s weird that his dad is trying to adopt some creature that lives in the woods but eventually sees how pathetic they look firsthand and goes “yup, they won’t survive without intervention” and kinda joins in on the effort to get reader out of the wilderness. They’re lowkey treating it like rescuing a stray animal, with Mayor Thaniyel finding himself staring out the window and worrying to death about how reader is whenever it’s night or the weather gets bad and Griefer cussing up a storm when reader avoids a trap or gets to a place he can’t easily reach.

Though these efforts get postponed when Griefer gets turned into a plant monster.

(Hey hey! I finally got this out of my drafts! Only to replace it with more drafts! Fuck.)

Self aware x reader au but reader acts like Josh from let’s game it out (please check him out I beg). Horror of self awareness aside think about the crack potential. Can’t decide if reader should be perceived as a disembodied voice or their in game avatar (tho ig that depends on the game) but either way as soon as the characters sense reader’s presence it’s instant dread. It’s even funnier if you consider the idea that the characters aren’t even fully aware yet.

If we’re talking about Roblox admin or hackers, just imagine someone like Builderman or 1x watching as reader breaks the game in ways never before conceived and questioning if they should do something about it. I mean it’s not like they are using exploits, hacking, or breaking any rules, they’re just doing things that the devs never thought someone would do, if anything it could be considered free game testing.

Or alternatively self aware characters watching all the players scream bloody murder after a hacker or someone with admin commands (not necessarily reader) turned everyone into gubbies.

So here’s a x reader concept:

You know those games where it takes you from one event/place to the next either via bus, train, plane, or elevator (think normal elevator). What if that was crossed with forsaken and/or other games.

Basically reader is in the elevator (or whatever) and it stops in the forsaken realm. Reader wanders out, eventually finds the survivors cabin and meets everyone and they all think reader is a new survivor. Eventually, reader’s like

“Welp, nice meeting yall but I have to go ☺️ Byyyeee!”

And leaves. The survivors think that they didn’t fully understand that they are stuck here, but then a few weeks go by without seeing them again and everyone is pretty worried. Reader shows up again one day and everyone starts interrogating them about where they were and goes

“I had to catch the elevator”

A pause.

“The what”

“The elevator”

A longer pause.

“Pardon? Elevator?”

“Yeah, the elevator! It’s been stopping by here for a few months now, it just usually stops near the creepy manor with all the scary people so I don’t get out.”

“We weren’t aware that there was an elevator…”

“There’s a few of them. There is also, planes, trains, buses, and the occasional magic door. Sorry I didn’t tell you about it, I thought you guys knew.”

The survivors are collectively losing their minds because what do you mean that for MONTHS they had a way to leave that they didn’t know about and it’s some fuckass elevator in the middle of the woods.

Anyways, that’s the post. Feel free to take this idea.

Little idea based off of @sumthinganarchy self aware avatar au.

Imagine the news of the avatars following around a random player getting enough attention that reader starts getting put in official lore for Roblox games.

Just reader playing a new game or their fave game gets an update and while they’re having a good time, suddenly—

Uhh… is that your username? IS THAT YOUR AVATAR??? HUH?!?

And now reader is freaking out because what do you mean this is something people wanted???? They’re looking everywhere online just to see that it was something that a lot of people were begging or super hyped for, and for a long time too. Meanwhile the avatars are having a field day with this info.

Or alternatively: reader finds out through a dm from a dev asking if it was okay if they used their avatar for their game and explaining exactly what for. Cue the spit-take.

From here on out reader will never know the meaning of peace.

Another thing I might write once Christmas break hits.

Backrooms movie has me in a chokehold and I am honestly disappointed in the lack of character variety in the x reader fics. No shame on the writers but like, why is it all Bobby?

White boy strikes again.

POV: your local emotionally constipated crime boss trying to admit he cares about your wellbeing.

Dumb concept

Established couple x friend that they have third wheel with them everywhere. It’s not even romantic it’s just that they adore their friend so much that they want to do everything with them and have them more involved in their lives and relationship, so much so that the couple had their friend move in with them. Hell, sometimes they’ll have their friend sleep in the same bed as them, it’s giving weird found family dynamics. Pretty much that “your friend Steve” song but they both want Steve there and wish he was there more often.

(Even funnier if the friend was there since the start of the relationship and has been third wheeling ever since. They thought the couple would get over it eventually but it’s been years now and it seems kinda late to bring it up atp. Like, they even went with the couple on their honeymoon and help pay the mortgage.)

I don’t even know how to write that lol.
