would you ever write a naruto/girl genius crossover?
Let’s play Writer’s Would You Ever
Send me an ask that says “Would you ever write…” and continue the sentence.
I’ll respond with yes or no and give an explanation as to why if I want to.

OKAY SO the answer is, in short, Yes. If I ever have the time, I do have a plot in mind. I think I’ve even talked about it on tumblr before, but it does fall into my usual crossover plot of “canon plot, but Anevka is here to ruin everything.”
Basically, start in the Chuunin Exams. Various Genin teams run into a weird circle of metal women in the Forest of Death. They’re not statues, quite, but they don’t seem to be alive.
Usually.
Konoha shinobi know to be careful. The metal ladies have been there a very long time, and it’s one of the few things that the Jounin-sensei warn their students about in detail. You don’t fuck with the metal ladies in the forest. They give out advice, once in a while, and the one without a mouth will play games that have messages almost nobody can really understand.
But they usually don’t give orders. They usually don’t trap a foreign Jinchuuriki for hours in some hellish parody of a faerie circle (and Konoha shinobi wouldn’t know what the fae are, except one of the metal ladies explained when they first showed up, generations back). They usually don’t taunt passing Uzumaki with knowledge that there’s a relative in the woods with them. They don’t usually pause the most sensible-looking Konoha genin they see (it’s either TenTen or Shino), hand them a faded old business card with foxed edges, and tell them to make sure the Hokage sends for The Storm Princess.
Like.
That doesn’t usually happen.
But they do it, and the Hokage is like ‘Cool, I will absolutely do that AFTER the exams are over and I don’t have to deal with This Entire Mess’
Except then he dies
And it takes a solid month after for Tsunade to come home and take over and be like “Hey, what the FUCK is this outdated business card on Sensei’s desk? Who thought this was--what the fuck?”
So she calls together two teams: Team Seven (because they handle weird bullshit all the time, and also she kind of wants them out of the village for a bit while she Handles Some Things), and Team Gai (because TenTen got the card, and also Lee just got his legs healed and is being VERY LOUD about it). Gai himself is not going, because he’s needed Elsewhere, which means that Kakashi is stuck wrangling six teenyboppers, and the only one with a Tolerable Personality for any extended period of time is TenTen.
And they go to some weird biochemical research lab that’s mostly funded by nearby civilian governments, are greeted by what seems to be a human, but is revealed to not be when she steps away from the reception desk, and they all just. Wait there.
And then a Very Noble-Dressed robot woman comes out of the back like Well Hello There!
They can’t say her name. She tells them to call her Arashi-hime. They go with it because what else are they going to do? They pass over the card and she smiles and nods and tells them it’ll just be a moment to prepare the carriage.
“The carriage?”
“Well, I’m afraid I can’t quite move at your speeds for more than a few minutes.”
“I shall carry you!”
Lee attempts to pick her up.
He manages for about five seconds, but it is immediately clear that it’s not something he’s going to be something he can manage at anything approaching high speeds.
“I know it’s rude to ask a lady’s weight...” Kakashi tries.
“Oh, some 900 kilograms, last I checked.”
She is a robot lady. She is Very Heavy, and while someone could carry her, probably, it’s really easier on everyone to just get the Motorized Carriage, which is not a car, because it moves about on spider legs and is very unnerving to see in action.
“I don’t suppose you know WHY the metal circle asked for you?” Kakashi asks.
“Oh, the Muses tend to know things. Events are in motion and, well, I won’t say you need me, but I have quite a lot of information.”
I’m gonna be honest and say that, even if they try to like her, it’s really, really hard to like Anevka when she’s being an asshole on purpose, and sometimes when she isn’t.
Especially when she states that she wants to bring her own guard.
Which are Geisterdamen she appropriated from Lucrezia.
yeah I mean it’s probably not a coincidence that an anomalously large number of my stories involve characters interacting with alternate dimension/timeline versions of themselves and being absolute assholes to each other. but other stuff I’m always very :eyes: about is ghosts, which are fun, and psychological horror elements in the mind control adjacent area which is a fun, if unethical concept to explore. what is science fiction if not a way to think about incredible ethics violations
17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for
well I’m never going to write a sex scene because I’m not interested in that kind of thing so you can cross out everything relating to that but also I’m never going to write a soulmates story because soulmates as a premise is just extremely unappealing to me for reasons you can probably infer from my stories. other things that simply do not appeal to me include modern aus or other wildly-altered settings (if I wanted to write about a different setting I would simply write my own story), wingfic (the premise just doesn’t add anything in a way that’s interesting), or stories about the characters just being absolutely miserable (because contrary to how it appears I don’t actually derive pleasure from making characters suffer). there’s probably a lot more but that’s what comes to mind
*please* tell me about the thought process behind the two different versions of "fuck"? it's such a cool and funny detail and i love it (also this whole conlang is very cool <3)
Thank you!
Okay, so, we were asked for a list of curse words in Dai Bendu and then started to think what would even count as an insult in their linguistic environment. And at some point while discussing that, we decided it would be fun to have something you truly shout when you are in distress, and something that’s just a “ah heck, did that just have to happen?” also “softly, but with meaning” is just a fun description for a curse xD
It’s the difference between distress you feel the need to share with everyone and distress you only really need to vocalize for yourself. We probably had too much fun with it.
Another fun insult we thought of, but haven’t translated yet, is “can’t tell the blade from the handle”.

Summary:
"Who's your companion?" the man asks.
"This is Jango," he says, not adding his last name. They have a false one, a name Jango sometimes uses in undercover missions when he doesn’t want to risk being recognized as the Mand’alor’s son, but better if they can avoid using it. "He's my husband."
The man frowns down at his datapad, then looks up to study Jango. "I wasn't expecting you to come with a partner, Master Jedi."
or, jangobi fake dating au, but make it aromantic.

Elend knows what it’s like to chafe against parental restrictions. He wants you to know that you are not your parents, and that it’s okay to make choices that prioritize yourself. You are not a bad person for not conforming to your parents’ desires.
<3 <3 <3 This one’s an easy one because Shalluratt has already been a long-standing OT3 for me. Mutual love and support squad for when their pasts weigh a little too heavy and Matt loves teasing the hell out of his too-serious partners to get them to lighten up (and they definitely get their revenge when he least expects it)
