Woke Up At 3am And The First Thing On My Mind Was Marius Josipovic. I Fear There May Never Be A Funnier

woke up at 3am and the first thing on my mind was marius josipovic. i fear there may never be a funnier character alive mostly bc of his perpetual irritation. the way it flares up so dramatically, you can just see it in his face. or his eye rolls??? JESUS that man can do an eye roll it's hilarious. the annoyed ass tone he gets, his lil accent slipping through. he really gets sooo upset that this fucking person ( carly ) whose family he's conning won't be his friend. what type of fucking conman tries to befriend someone who's going to be completely useless to their con. it's so funny because he really desperately tries to get on her good side, even apologizes and asks if they can start over, and presses the issue until she smiles?? his compassion for other people is actually insane considering he lies and cheats and steals, like at his core he shouldn't care, but he does, and that's what makes him stand out to me so much. i think he has the capability to emotionally remove himself from situations and other people, but when his empathetic nature hits, it's difficult to remain as unaffected as he tries to be. and something so fucking sad to me is that, for the first time in his life, marius feels welcome and at home when he goes to con the bernhardts. he feels like he has a family, because he's welcomed with open arms and there's not an inch of distrust there. which is so different from his own family - esp with his brother, who he genuinely can't trust bc eddie is actively trying to screw marius over to save himself! so to have these people who he actually somewhat trusts and who trust him in return? i think that's life changing.

and there's this scene with carly where marius mentions the bernhardts being a normal family and carly is like. normal family? and marius acknowledges that they may not be completely normal, and that's that. but to him, this is what a family should look like. a type of family he never got to experience, so of course this is normal for him. he even says this after learning about some of the fucked up things that have happened in the past and continue to go on between these people, knows about the strained dynamics, but it's still enough for him to feel safe. i think marius might be his most normal when he's with julia, shows her what he can do, but the thing is, he doesn't even think about it. he just does it, because he feels safe enough to. literally exposes himself as a fantastic liar, somewhat admits he's in deep with some bad people. and he did this all without a second thought, didn't even think, maybe i shouldn't show this person what i'm capable of when i'm about to con them. he even willingly comes back to save her life when he already told her it's best to run away from danger. she sees this as cowardice while marius just sees it as survival. which really shows the different experiences they've had in life. and yet, all the same, they bond and they work well together and they enjoy each others' company. like, genuinely. and that's something completely new for marius because he doesn't do bonding. the friends we see him have are old friends, people he's known for years. making friends ... it's not something he's interested in doing, but here, with the bernhardts, he just. subconsciously does that. sure, we can say he may need to bond with these people bc they literally think he's their cousin / family, and if he's going to be let into the family secrets, he has to be close to them. but there's no doubt in my mind that's not what's driving marius here. none of this behavior is calculated, he's not bonding or attempting to bond with them because it's the smartest thing to do. he's doing it because he fucking wants to. and that is just so interesting to me because marius knows better than to get attached, he's a seasoned fucking criminal, and yet...

and after he sees his own brother betray him?? marius doesn't even get mad, even when he would never do that to eddie, he doesn't get angry. i just don't think he's quick to anger, ever. irritation? yes. but not anger. and he can be a genuinely kind and understanding person, especially when it comes to people's emotions and motivations, like... he doesn't judge others for that. even if he doesn't feel the same way, even if it's something he would never do, he can empathize. at his core, marius is a sweet and warm person, but his entire life he's been molded into a criminal, a con artist. i'm sure he had to steal as a kid to help feed himself and his brother, because while we get very little information about he and eddie's childhood, it's clear to see that their mom wasn't a good one. and she was incredibly young. marius was always the caring older brother, always did everything he could to protect eddie, enough to where it's shaped him into who he is today. and he doesn't even resent that. he'd do it again in a heartbeat, and he does. his priority will always be the people he cares about, but when he cares about his brother and the bernhardts, who he has to steal from to protect his brother, what then? it's such an interesting dilemma and the writers just ... did a fantastic job of setting it up. this show, at least the first season, really is insanely well written and acted. giovanni ribisi is genuinely perfect as marius. and it's so funny because no one else i've showed this series to has liked it, but i just!! god i fucking adore it. i could write a fucking dissertation on it, about the fox metaphors, about marius and why he is the way he is, about VINCE?! fuckkk he's a great antagonist. there's just so many amazing characters in this show and i truly find myself liking every single one of them. that's rare. so, sneaky pete? you have a fan for life. will i ever finish s3? probably not but s1 goes so fucking hard and i'm never going to get over this story. also honorable mention, marius thinking anything spiritual is a scam is sooo interesting of him. he's such a skeptic. i love him. anyway. back to bed i go

so turns out i'm in oc hell right now which is ... so not me, but i guess these characters just have me by the throat because i cannot! stop! thinking about them!

anyway, if anyone's interested, i've got a little blog set up to document these characters and grow the universe as a whole - @lorefolked ! <: even wrote a little something, which is basically just me waxing poetic for 1800 words but i'm proud nonetheless. been a while since i wrote and finished a oneshot so, i'm happy!

also, i'm so failing bjm month. bob dylan is all i'm listening to, so, i'm very sorry july, but my lovely band is going to have to wait. but dw i see bjm in october along with the dandy warhols so i couldn't be happier <3 shit will pop off then for sure. still feel like i need to do something special though? it's been 2 years in the bjm trenches and as their self-appointed biggest fan, i feel the need to celebrate. since i have the special edition dvd of dig! ( the bjm/dandy warhols documentary ) i'm thinking i'll try to figure out how to get my playstation set up and watch the 2+ hours of additional footage that has, like, never breached the internet... maybe find a way to upload it all to youtube, who knows.

anyway, more updates? i haven't been sleeping for shit and i'm really cranky and irritable but i watched i'm not there and <3 yeah that movie is just great. confusing as shit for anyone who doesn't know jack about bob dylan but !! i'm trying! still can't believe cate blanchett plays bob dylan ( kinda ) and she's the literal best one in the cast to do so. reminded me of lord of the rings and how much i love that movie series, and how integral it was to my childhood, so... bet i'll end up rewatching that soon. any takers on watching 9+ hrs of tolkien with me? <3 lol

anyway yeah! that's all the updates i've got, as this is becoming somewhat of a personal diary for me - so, yk. do what you will with all of this useless information.

Do You Really Think All This Is An Accident – That We, A Group Of Strangers Survived, Many Of Us With
Do You Really Think All This Is An Accident – That We, A Group Of Strangers Survived, Many Of Us With

Do you really think all this is an accident – that we, a group of strangers survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? Do you think we crashed on this place by coincidence – especially, this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason, all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason.

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable

thinking about how many fic ideas i have that i will probably never write or complete, but like y’know these are good ideas and i want to put them down somewhere so i never forget them in the future. who knows, maybe someone else will pick them up, or maybe i’ll try my hand at one of these plots in a couple years. anyway just dropping these off here for me. enjoy (morgan from like 2027)

THE FINDER & PSYCH. a the finder and psych crossover; after sustaining a head injury, shawn wakes up in miami to a man who says he can find anything. but what if shawn doesn’t even remember who he is?

a fun little fic idea i had after watching the first couple seasons of psych. i realized how these two shows vibe so well with each other and both are so hysterical to me, literally some of the only shows that genuinely make me laugh. i can imagine leo finding shawn near the bar and bringing him in; then shawn wakes up to walter and leo peering down at him, pondering about who he might be. then shawn is like “gus?” and leo’s like “who’s gus?” then shawn pauses, says “i have no idea,” then passes out again. there could be a lot of fun stuff in this crossover.

NOMAD SPENCER REID. a criminal minds fic; a traumatic incident prompts spencer to quit the fbi, sell all of his possessions, and live life as a homeless nomad. three years later, when the bau tracks him down to assist on a case, he’ll have to come to terms with the trauma he endured and his own changes as a person—as will his old team.

this is a story that was heavily inspired by the movie into the wild. it’s actually one of my favorite movies, and the first time i watched it was a couple years ago, in the height of my criminal minds and spencer reid obsession. i loved the idea of reid having gone through something horribly traumatic, something that would be terrible enough to make him quit the bau. and living life as this lone wolf nomad, becoming comfortable amongst nature and animals, has made reid at this point realize how much of his life he’s missed out on, and how he truly wants to make the most of the time he still has left. so of course, introduce the team back in! :D

really though, the team would be hella concerned for reid, and bonus points if they have no idea why he quit or believe it was for a completely different reason (maybe he went through something traumatic but his mom also died? so they think it’s associated with his mother, not the other incident). i love that trope so much. scraggly looking and feral spencer …. i live for the image. i’ve written a bit for this au but most of it is honestly in my head. i still hold it dear to my heart though!

PROFILER FOX MULDER. a criminal minds and the x-files crossover; a year after the tragedy that ended with the death of dana scully and the subsequent closing of the x-files, fox mulder is sent to help the bau on a case that will not only affect the team, but also affect mulder and the carefully constructed life he’s built around himself.

maybe, possibly, one of my favorite aus ever. i’m a sucker for profiler!mulder and love the idea of exploring his grief, having lost scully during a case investigating a cryptid in oklahoma (iykyk). i’ve written a small amount for this au—about 5k words—and have a lot of ideas jam-packed into it, but basically the story is that, during an x-files case, scully is shot and killed in the woods by an unknown man. mulder is devastated and goes in and out of mental hospitals for the next year, before skinner lets him back in the fbi and lets mulder have his pick for reassignment, considering the x-files are now closed.

mulder chooses the bau (much to skinner’s chagrin), meets the criminal minds team, and is thrown into a case that will take him right back to his profiler days. the case could even be connected to past x-files or something to spice things up. but introducing krycek, skinner, the smoking man, and the lone gunmen to the world of criminal minds just sounds so fun. also, mulder torture! my favorite genre of xfiles fics! anyway, this is such a self-indulgent crossover but i absolutely adore it and hope to work on it a little more soon!

LOST SUPERPOWERED AU. a series of oneshots set in a superpowered universe of lost; no real story here, just connecting fics that somehow string together.

i came up with this idea a couple years ago after watching heroes, because oh my godddd the first season of that show is so much like lost it’s crazy!! anyway, i only have a couple of superpower ideas for the characters, but exploring those kinds of dynamics both on/off the island sounds super fun! i only recently remembered this au after finding an old doc about it, and i’ve come to realize that superpowered aus are my guilty pleasure…yeah. i just can’t help myself sometimes.

anyway, this is another one of those self-indulgent type stories and will probably forever remain an unfinished wip. still, i gotta add it to this list to share (alina) and also to remember for future me who would most likely forget if not.

WICKED BOARDING. a teen wolf and the maze runner au crossover; after getting rid of the nogitsune, stiles agrees with his father to be sent off to a boarding school far away from beacon hills. there, he rooms with a teen named newt, and together they begin to investigate and uncover the horrors at ‘wicked boarding.’

i wrote this idea down in the height of my teen wolf hyperfixation in early 2021. i’d recently watched the maze runner trilogy with my brother because it had dylan o’brien in it, who also, of course, plays my fav teen wolf character—stiles. anyway, i’d read a couple crossover fics between these two fandoms but really wanted to make my own thing, so i came up with wicked boarding!

the story would mainly center around stiles and his trauma, post-nogitsune. i kinda liked the idea of stiles’ middle name being thomas, bc then there would be a reason he’s called that by his friends at wicked. but it doesn’t really matter. anyway, it’s just a fun, angsty au at a suspicious boarding school with stiles and the maze runner characters. i have a doc about it but i haven’t actually written anything for the story. all i know is that stiles/newt is endgame.

OUTLAST AND ZOMBIES. an outlast and the walking dead crossover fic; after escaping from mount massive asylum, blake finds himself thrown into the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

after a failed roleplay, i kind of became absolutely hyperfixated with the idea of outlast and a zombie apocalypse. blake langermann is my favorite outlast character, and i have an au where outlast 2 actually takes place before the first game. that way, blake is sent to mount massive asylum after being found by the agents, held there for months until the incident we see in whistleblower.

mostly, i just think the idea of a very traumatized and mentally ill dude finally escaping his imprisonment, only to find that half the world has been turned into zombies, is so fun. also, i really like the walking dead, and so much could be done with either the shows or the game. i don’t really have much written for this au, but it definitely has a place in my heart, and is for sure something i’ll come back to every now and again to touch up on.

DARK HARRY POTTER. a harry potter au; kidnapped as a child due to a trauma caused by his abusive relatives, harry is raised as a ward to voldemort, told that dumbledore is out for him and actually framed voldemort for his parents’ deaths. as time goes on, harry slowly begins to piece together the abuse inflicted on him by the dursleys and the truth about dumbledore’s—and the order of the phoenix’s—agenda.

honestly, i kind of forgot about this au, but rediscovered it upon looking through my old docs. i really fell in love with this idea and absolutely love the thought of something traumatic happening to harry that would damage his magical core, thus damaging voldemort’s (in this au he has already been resurrected) as they are of course connected. somehow, voldemort would be able to kidnap / save harry from the dursleys and raise him as a ward, teaching him that their side is the good side, and that dumbledore wants to wrongly kill he and harry.

i have a bunch of ideas for this au, and honestly want to try to write it some day, but the thought of sitting down and planning a gigantic story such as this one makes me want to cry. also, i haven’t read the books in over ten years, and i have no idea if knowing the movie lore is enough to write an au about voldemort, horcruxes, and death eaters. like, where does voldemort even stay for most of the plot? does he have a castle? a secret underground bunker? i think i’d have to have someone help me with an undertaking such as this one. either way, harry potter means a lot to me, and i really really want to try to start this story some day. just...not today.

alright, well for now i think that’s all i’ve got to share! i’ll add anything else here when a new wip undeniably comes up, so stay tuned if you’re interested!
