oop finding the Floydmadge buried in the paper stacks
do you have a faaaaaavorite headcanon that you find yourself referring back to often?
Yes!! Several.
Ben likes candied lemon peels.
He wears a ribbon because a girl complimented hair ribbons while he was at Yale.
After falling in the Delaware, Ben has a slight intolerance to cold.
my favorite discovery so far in sorting through old notes is the Psych ghost au where the outline opens with “Gus quotes John Legend lyrics to Shawn”. it’s the one instance where i immediately know exactly what the hell past!me was talking about 😂
is there any character (or characters) you think it would've been interesting to see Ben interact with/interact with More in the series?
OH MAN.
His dragoons, John Andre, Robert Rogers, Simcoe, Hamilton, Laurens, literally any of the other aides, Lafayette, NATHAN HALE...
I’ll forever cry that Ben didn’t have any real finished personal plots except that disaster in s3.
just found a draft of All Other Ground where we did a fakeout and had a pov character named Benjamin who was not Benji Tallboy and oh heck oh gosh it was despicable and it’s going back in the plot immediately
more stuff i’ve found while sorting old writing notes:
Musketeers kind of...small town AU i guess? where Treville owns this sort of hotel/diner called Gary’s Inn, and he’s in constant brutal competition with Rochefort, who owns a sort of tavern situation called Patch’s. Also Bonacieux runs a high-end clothing store, Aramis is an ER nurse or EMT, d’Artagnan’s dad gets murdered on Christmas, Louis is the mayor. apparently Athos is kind of considered the Weird Neighbor and then at some point is just in d’Artagnan’s house. past!me didn’t elaborate on how or why that happened but it says that d’Artagnan calls Porthos about it and then attacks Athos, so that seems pretty much correct.
The fake!married saga where d’Artagnan goes undercover as Charlotte, Aramis’ charming bride, and then in the sequel Aramis is undercover as Rene, Constance’s charming husband. i feel like there was a part three somewhere involving Athos but i’ve not found it yet
a Merlin au that’s just (intentionally) the plot of Emperor’s New Groove
Merlin au set in the Freya episode and i guess Merlin panics and turns Freya into an actual cat in order to buy her some time
turning characters into either cats or ghosts is all i know how to do what can i say
outline of a TURN fic that’s literally like, after outlining the Problem of the story, “Washington reacts with more sympathy than is even remotely in character but we can dream”
Musketeers fic where i needed a name for an OC and was just like “call him Luc. no one will Notice.”
do you have any headcanons about Ben and Anna's friendship when they were smol?
Yes!! Not many though. I think they were close, I’d like to think so, and she left such an impression on him growing up and that’s why he so fiercely advocated for women’s education at Yale.
what's Thera's best version of relaxing and taking some Thera Time look like? does she have any little rituals that she enjoys?
[Question from @majorxwriteyxboy.]
‘Thera Time’, in the sense that it really is Thera Time, is always spent alone. Not in the sad way but in the chilled out, joyous, ‘nobody around to judge or interfere’ way. No disturbances, not even the innocent ‘walking across the room’ or ‘turning the page of a book’ sort of noises that happen if someone else is around.
Nobody is there to care what she looks like or what she’s wearing or what she eats or drinks. Nobody cares if she decides to work out, or read pulp novels or do the vacuuming at midnight while rocking out to a mixtape featuring Mama Mia, Can The Can and Mi-Sex’s Computer Games.
Nobody cares about the huge bowl of mac, cheese and bacon with chili sauce while she sits watching 70′s kids’ shows and cheering for Witchiepoo, or spends 3 hours in the bath pampering herself from head to toe.
Nobody cares if she goes up to the rooftop garden of her place in New York and just lies there, looking at the sky.
No judgement, no justification. Nobody sitting around just a little on edge because ok fine, but they don’t understand. They don’t mean to hassle her, but there’s always at least a tiny edge, in her own mind at least, that sayd at any minute they might.
So, yeah. Alone. The rest falls where it may depending on her mood, as long as she’s doing it on her own.
