Fairy Tail Time Problem

ATLA Thoughts

I was rewatching the first season of the show and I had some thoughts about how they wrote Zuko. I think it’s really interesting how in the first two episodes they had Zuko as just the full antagonist. Only to turn around in the third and make you root for him by pitting him against the immediately dislikable Zhao. You also had his ship be revealed to be so much smaller than the others after making it seem larger than life next to the Katara and Sokka’s village. I just find it really fascinating how we were being primed to support him from the very beginning.

The Problem with KakaObi

Okay look, Kakashi is my favorite character and my fandom bicycle, I ship him with everybody, including Obito sometimes. My problem is that so many kakaobi writers have him, like, secretly in love with him from back when they were teammates and have him pining after his memory for the next 20 years or whatever. And I get it, watching the man you love die for you and then come back from the dead is just full of melodrama. But at oldest Kakashi was, like, 13 when Obito died, I usually view him as 10 or 11. I don’t care what kind of a genius he is, pre-teens are not having an intense melodramatic love going on, they just aren’t. And having an adult Kakashi pine after a child Obito is just gross, it’s gross in canon with Obito and Rin too. I don’t mind kakaobi, not my favorite pairing, but it’s better than kakairu (god I hate that pairing) I just wish people would write them falling in love as proper adults. This is probably why the only way I can read them is in AUs where Obito came back to Konoha. They just don’t work with the canon setting without some real work too many don’t put in. Whatever, people can write whatever they want, I just need to be more careful with my tag search.

Alright, that’s it, just wanted to get the thought out there while it was on my mind.

Star Wars Fic Idea

I think it would be interesting if a post-ROTJ version of Luke and Leia met a version of themselves from a world where Anakin never Fell and they were raised by their birth parents. How that world turned out that way could be do any number of reasons. (Though I do hate the version where all it took to save the day was getting rid of Palpatine, there was a lot more going wrong with the Galaxy besides him) I just think it would be interesting to explore their similarities and differences. I imagine Leia would be as much of a daddy’s girl for Anakin as she was for Bail, which I imagine would be incredibly confusing for OG Leia. Not to mention the different relationship between the twins who actually grew up together compared to the ones who had no idea they were related until they were adults. Twins tend to be close in a way others aren’t, and Luke and Leia spent a lot of time as just friends. Not to mention I bet force sensitive twins would be even closer than usual.

I don’t know, just a thought.

Naruto time travel fic idea

I have this idea for a fun MadaTobi time travel fic where Madara and Tobirama accidentally go back in time to before Konoha was founded, this is in an everything is good world where Izuna didn’t die and the whole thing was just an accident. They end up at a point where Madara and Hashirama are, like, 16 and Tobirama and Izuna are 12. So Madara and Tobirama have had basically no interaction at this point, and then suddenly these adult versions of them show up bickering like an old married couple and clearly pining after each other. They also know way too much about each other, it’s freaking out their clans because you get to know people in a completely different way when you live in the same village and work together every day than when you have bordering territories and only really see each other during skirmishes. Tobirama complains about Madara’s sleeping habits and references having tea with other members of the Uchiha clan; Madara has a lot to say about Tobiramas’s work habits and insane experiments, he’s also obsessed with this one Senju bakers sweet rolls or something. Little stuff like that that just completely blindsided their clans. Maybe Hikaku and Touka are there too to make snide comments and just gleefully watch their respective clan heads (Hashirama would have given up the title to his brother in order to become Hokage) drive everyone around them insane while dealing sexual tension that freaks out teenage Madara and kicks the Senju clan into overprotective high gear (because again, 12). I don’t know, I just foresee a lot of comedy potential for someone who is a way better writer than I am.

Yugioh! 5Ds Headcannon

Yusei, Crow and Jack learned to turbo duel on regular motorcycles using old duel disks. Duel runners actually have quite a few modifications to them in order to use them in dueling, autopilot and connected duel disks are part of that. Yusei has to jerry rig a separate device that lets them add speed counters and had to hack their disks to allow for speed spells so the boys could learn to play.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Headcannon

I was feeling nostalgic thinking of the show and had this thought, where did Yusei, Jack and Crow learn to ride their duel runners? The show says that the duel runner Jack stole from Yusei was the first one he built, but they already knew how to drive and do so well enough that Jack became the King of turbo duels shortly thereafter. All three do some pretty spectacular stunts while riding, and that’s not the kind of thing you learn in a day. So I was thinking, Satellite’s a dumping ground for junk and trash, and something that probably became a lot less popular after duel runners were invented are regular old motorcycles. What if the guys found some, or parts of some that Yusei and Crow then built into bikes, and taught each other how to ride. Martha’s great but there’s no way she had the time to keep constant supervision over all the kids she was raising all the time. It’s canon that Yusei, Jack, and Crow had the time and lack of supervision to get caught up in gang fights, so clearly they had pretty free reign to get up to who knows what. So we’ve got three pre-teen boys with little supervision who find and reconstruct some old motorcycles where they then teach themselves how to drive. They would have had plenty of space to run around and I imagine they probably dared each other into doing stupid stunts. They also probably taught themselves turbo duels with regular duel disks. I’m just picturing them being the adrenaline junkies that they are and doing all sorts of stupid stuff that probably eventually ended in the three beat up motorcycles being destroyed and then after they met Kyousuke and made their gang. We never got a full idea how long that stuff went in for, but I’m guessing only like a year or so. So, pre-teen trio teach themselves to drive and run their bikes into the ground over the course of a few years. Then the three, probably age 14-ish meet Kyousuke and all that stuff happens. The three split after the gang fell apart, at some point Yusei falls in with the three friends we see at the start of the show and he builds his first duel runner. This was something he probably started after their motorcycles broke and worked on off and on over the next three-ish years until Jack steals it at age 16-ish. Two years later and we’ve got the beginning of the show with Yusei at 18.

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.

Spider-Man

You know that one McDonalds triangle meme that’s weirdly popular and tends to show up at least once in every fandom? I saw an MCU one once and was unreasonable enraged by Spidey being put with the McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds! corner. Spidey would, depending on just how annoying the kids are, without a doubt be the guy who’d drive up to the window, order a single black coffee and leave.

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.

Star Wars Thought

So...did Bail Organa basically kidnap Leia? Luke went to his aunt and uncle, which is already kind of suspect because it doesn’t seem like either of them really had much of a connection to Padme or Anakin but at least there’s a legitimate familial connection and I guess Anakin probably lost all rights to decisions over his kids after he became Vader, but I really don’t think Padme would have been all that on board with a.) her children being separated or b.) neither of them going to her family or people she trusts to raise them. She met Owen and Breha all of one time? And I get Bail was probably her friend, but I really don’t think a work colleague would have been all that high on her list of guardians over say...her sister? Her parents? Her handmaidens/best friends? Luke can be explained, he went to nominal family in a place outside the purview of the Emperor where his father couldn’t find him. But Leia? She was raised on a stage in the very heart of the Empire, very obviously not related to Bail or Breha and being given the same title and position as her mother. She could not have possible been in more danger, besides that, no way Bail had any legal right to take her, whatever his intentions, he basically kidnapped her from her proper family who definitely would have done a better job of keeping her away from Vader and the Emperor. Even if Padme’s family were considered too dangerous, Padme’s handmaidens could have easily disappeared outside the Empire. I just can’t stop thinking about how Padme’s agency as a mother was violated by these three men who had very loose connections to her and really didn’t have any right to decide how her children would be raised.

I’m also never going to not be angry that Bail had C-3PO’s memory wiped without any kind of by your leave. He had no right to either of those droids either. The more I think about it the more angry I get.
