The Idea Is That I’ll Talk About My Day Here Plus Whatever Tangents I Go Off On As I Do So. No Idea

The Yu-Gi-Oh Problem

I’m going to completely ignore Zexal and on.

I really liked Yugioh 5Ds when I was younger, I don’t really know why considering it was kind of a blatant cash grab, but the English theme was really catchy and I really loved Yusei’s voice actor, I might have had a bit of a crush on Yusei in general. I guess I just totally fell for the cheap “edgy” gimmick, which is funny because it isn’t like DM and GX weren’t dark themselves, but whatever. Yusei is definitely the best protagonist of the three. Anyway, my problem.

DM anime happened in, like, the early 2000s, and GX was supposed to be 10 years later with 5Ds a couple decades after that in some nebulous future point. But all of the shows were produced in the mid to late 2000s, so all of the tech looks pretty much the same across the three shows, though 5Ds has some generic futuristic looking stuff that still manages to look out of date. This really doesn’t work with what we now understand of the progression of our tech, by the time of GX everyone should have migrated to touch screens and, like, holo decks and stuff, not still using the clunky duel disks. And who even know by 5Ds time, the digital age is making things pick up steam, fast. None of it makes sense, as driven home by Dark Side of Dimensions when Kaiba and Yugi has their ridiculous high tech VR duel, makes it look like VRAINS should be the series that comes in 10 years instead of old school GX. Whatever.

ROTBTFD Fic Idea

So I was feeling nostalgic for when this fandom was a thing and Harry Potter was still alright and I’ve decided to summarize an old fic idea I had back then.

It starts in a basic Hogwarts AU setting, with the Big Four in their friend group, plus Anna. Jack and Elsa are kind of a thing; Rapunzel and Eugene, and Anna and Kristoff, are fully dating; and Astrid and Hiccup are definitely not. It’s that thing where Hiccup does his best to avoid the rest of the teenagers from Berk, which in this world is a small magical island village off the coast of the UK. (Think where A Thing of Vikings has it located.) The basic dynamics of all those stories.

Anyway, something or other happens and the group of five friends end up performing a spell that goes wrong and they accidentally pull their counterparts from a different dimension to their world, plus whoever were in their immediate surroundings. Of course, I’m talking about their movie versions. This ends up with Hiccup and the gang (I’m thinking sometime after HTTYD 2 and ignoring 3 because I hate it), Merida and her three maybe suitors (I just imagine her dragging them into misadventures because I think that’s a fun idea and she needs friends), Rapunzel and Eugene (I’m working with the theory that she’s cousins with Elsa and Anna so they all know each other), Anna and Elsa and Kristoff (and maybe Honeymaren and Ryder, I go back and forth on whether to have Frozen 2 be a thing), and finally Jack Frost and Peter Pan (this comes out of no where but I really like the idea of Peter being a spirit and acting as Jack’s little brother figure since Jamie is long gone by this point).

All the movie versions exist in the same world, some post post apocalyptic one where at some point civilization collapsed and started over, this time with magic being far more abundant. Jack and Peter are something like 3,000 to 5,000 years old. They hide as soon as they get to the Hogwarts world because they were in the middle of a fight with some shadow spirits or something who make a break for it towards the Forbidden Forest, they’ll spend most of the story dealing with rounding them up and staying hidden while everything else is happening, maybe.

The story is mostly going to be about the clashing dynamic of the groups. Like the movie versions don’t really know each other as anything but fellow nation leaders (I also kind of imagine there being some hostilities between the Highlands and the Barbaric Archipelago to add tension), while the teenagers are all close friends. Hiccup’s relationship with the Dragon Riders is nothing like the strained relationship of his counterpart (and he and Astrid are married), same with Merida and her suitors. Everyone is just really different and I thought it’d be fun to play around with them meeting each other.

At some point, towards the end, Jack and Peter finally reveal themselves and they know how to get back to their world. This will have the biggest changes because unlike everyone else, they’re a different species from their counterparts and ridiculously older. There’s absolutely no romance between Jack Frost and Elsa. Also depending on if this includes Frozen 2, Elsa has maybe been helping Jack and Peter in her role as a bridge.

It’s a lot of vague ideas and a general sense of a plot that I will never write because it has way too big of a cast to balance and is beyond my abilities. But I do still think it’s a fun concept.

Doctor Who Headcannon

I have this idea about Susan and why the Doctor already has a granddaughter when he was still in his first incarnation. Like, his partner was much further along in their regenerations so the Doctor ended up having a kid really young. I’m going to say this was kind of a scandal, someone in their first incarnation with someone in, like, their seventh or something. Then Susan’s mother followed in her dad’s footsteps, kinda, only going even further and having a kid not only while still in their first incarnation but then with a non time lord, some other species with a lifespan about as long as a single regeneration. So Susan only has the one life, but it’s several centuries long. That’s a big reason why she left with the Doctor, Gallifrey does not look kindly on mixed species. They seem like the conservative type that way.

Naruto Fic Idea

This is just a fluffy thought for a world where nobody died and everything is happy. Sakura has a massive crush on Ino so when Ino comes to her and tells her she likes Sasuke because he’s cool and strong Sakura sees it as a challenge. She then proceeds to give it her all to best Sasuke at everything and prove to Ino that she’s the one who’s cool and strong. Thus the SasuSaku rivalry commences for Ino’s affections.

Ino catches on pretty quickly to Sakura’s intent and falls head over heels but being a little girl, instead of just telling Sakura her feelings, she goads her on, gushing over Sasuke to her so Sakura will go after whatever skill he’s mastering, challenging him. Sasuke has no idea what’s going on, there’s this little pink monster who keeps antagonizing him and their respective blond best friends just goad the whole thing on (in this world Kushina and Mikoto were teammates and made sure their sons had plenty of play dates growing up).

The adults naturally figure the whole thing out and find it suitably adorable. I picture the story being teeth rottingly sweet, like a long one shot going over their whole lives with Sakura and Ino eventually figuring things out and falling in love. I know with this pairing it’s the norm to then pair off the boys but honestly, I adore NaruHina, so we’ll say Karin was brought to Konoha by Kushina as a fellow Uzumaki and raised as a sister to Naruto, so Sasuke can still nab himself an Uzumaki there. Honestly, though, ship the boys however you like or don’t at all, this is about SakuIno at the end of the day.

It’s just a fun thought I had, I just really like the idea of Sakura and Sasuke as rivals, I’ve always thought that if you get rid of her infatuation of him Sakura would find Sasuke really annoying and that a rivalry would come naturally to them. Also the idea of Naruto as the peacemaker of Team 7 is hilarious because we know his temper would get the better of him and he’d fail miserably, poor Kakashi would have just the worst group of little monsters to wrangle.

One Piece Thought

Don’t know if there’s anything out there that contradicts this but as far as the main manga goes, Luffy met Shanks when he was about 6 or 7 and living in Foosha village. He went to stay with Dadan afterwards and lived mostly in her care until he was 17, but what about before? I think it’s pretty common fanon that Luffy was mostly cared for by Makino and was otherwise some kind of wild village child. We also know that he had to have been with Dragon for at least a bit before being handed over to Garp, but we don’t know what age that happened at, only that Luffy was young enough that he didn’t remember his dad at all. So here’s my thought, what if Luffy was, like 3 when he ended up on Dawn Island? That young enough to not have any permanent memories. I don’t know, I just like the idea of Dragon actually getting to raise his son for a while. Maybe Dragon decided to take Luffy to Garp after Luffy’s mom was killed in a raid or something. There’s just room to play around with things.

Code Geass Problem

There are a lot of things wrong with the alternate history in the Code Geass world, it’s like the authors just threw together a few key points in history they thought were interesting and said they went differently without any real follow through. For one, Britannia apparently exists because the Roman Empire never managed to permanently conquer the British isles, or something. That’s a huge fricken deal, it would have caused everything in the Western Hemisphere to go differently but somehow most of the world apparently progressed a lot like the real world. Napoleon as the first president of the EU or whatever really doesn’t make any sense considering who the man actually was and his beliefs but whatever, not to mention Washington’s Rebellion. How did the thirteen colonies even form when all the empires that took over the Americas are fundamentally different? The BS about Benjamin Franklin always manages to make me incredibly angry, of all the founding fathers they could have chosen to be the traitor they managed to pick one of the least likely candidates. Whatever, I’m not going into all the many problems, but the one thing that really bothers me for reasons I don’t really get, why does pre-invasion Tokyo look like the Tokyo of today? That city only exists as is because the original one was burnt down by the American bombing in WWII and then rebuilt, there’s no reasons for it to look like that when it took a very precise series of events to make it, events that didn’t happen in the Code Geass universe. Nothing is more irritating than ill thought out worldbuilding, especially in products I actually like.

The Odyssey

I’ve been seeing this trend in modern takes of the Odyssey that want to focus on Penelope where they have it as her not really knowing her husband. Like, they have Penelope and Odysseus getting married and him having to go off to Troy after only, like, a year in or something. I love the idea of focusing on Penelope but I hate this particular take. In some tellings, Odysseus and Penelope were married for 8 years before he left and Homer made a point of describing them as being like-minded. I’ve always thought Penelope was supposed to really understand her husband and his mind because she works the same way. I just would like there to be some basis for the reunion we get between them in the original poem, that’s not a couple who doesn’t know each other.

BNHA Headcannon

Gran Torino adopted All Might. Toshinori met Nana when he was in middle school, like 13. Since he’s an orphan she decides to take him in, before All Might became the Symbol of Peace a lot of systems were pretty corrupt, including the foster care system. Obviously Nana can’t adopt Toshinori herself since that would draw All for One’s attention, so Gran Torino does it.

Naruto Headcanon

The Mokuton might be the Senju clan’s pure kekkai genkai but they also have something of a secondary family attribute, kind of like the Nara shadow techniques. The Senju are all predisposed to nature chakra, it’s part of what fuels the Mokuton. Tobirama’s talent for Suiton and his sensory abilities are also connected to the Senju predisposition for nature chakra.

Just a thought.
