GW & Homestuck -- random plot-shaped things

Askerian: (ahaha, i don't know if you remember the 1x2xR sequelthing snippet I wrote a while ago where relena wanted dorothy to help her make poly marriage legal. now i kinda want to write stuff about the press finding out. maybe a series of articles and headlines, first from the tabloids and then ending in an article)
Adi: ooooh
Adi: you can make up completely crazy stuff for the tabloids!
Askerian: like an actual interview. maybe about who is the father of her child!!! :O nah, no baby stuff, i write baby stuff too much as it is. ooooor maybe if the dad is duo because heero's genes are damaged
Askerian: haha yes
Adi: she's pregnant?
Askerian: at first it'd be all "is there something going on between relena and her head of security :O " and then "gasp she went to that ball with THAT OTHER MAN as her security/escort!" with ambiguously angled grainy picturial proof
Adi: or so the tabloids say?
Askerian: haha yes, even if she isn't they'd take any fold of cloth as a sign of pregnancy
Adi: XDD
Askerian: shocking reversal! the princess' lovers... in bed together!!!!!! RELENA CHEATED ON???? (i mean dude okay she has two but she's QUEEN RELENA she's allowed D: )
Adi: There should be letters to the editor going "that's obviously an overexposed photoshopped picture! It's probably her head of security! God, stop making stuff up!" and ...well, actually...
Askerian: XDDDDD
Adi: hahaha
Askerian: up until some president or other invites her to an official shindig with "and guest" and she asks them if she can bring two.
Adi: oh lord XDDDD
Askerian: and she dances with them both all night, scrupulously taking turns in between the random interlopers.
Askerian: and then they have the last dance with each other??? XD idek.
Adi: maybe they dance with each other when she's dancing with other people u.u
Askerian: ooh :D
Askerian: in the middle of all that i should also put a fling between relena and quatre. they were seen walking out of a room together laughing, arm in arm!!!
Adi: hahaha
Adi: Someone gets a quote from Duo that, when taken out of context, implies that Relena, er, sleeps around a lot?
Askerian: i kinda suck at headlines or journal talk though
Askerian: hahahaha
Adi: QUEEN RELENA'S LOVER TELLS ALL
Adi: u.u
Askerian: "oh, we all love relena, she's one of us y'know?" "RELENA PEACECRAFT IN SORDID SEX-BASED SWINGER DEAL WITH ALL FIVE GUNDAM PILOTS!!!!"
Adi: hahahaha
Adi: side note: Quatre Winner Participates in Primarily Gay Orgy With Queen Relena Peacecraft As Guest
Askerian: *giggles*

Askerian: btw, my GW rewatch...
Askerian: i was TRYING to read quatre as possibly straight and merely platonically concerned for trowa
Askerian: ... it's not even headcanon or slash goggles at this point
Askerian: he makes such teary wibbly faces when he sees him again and omg you're alive T^T
Askerian: it's just... not platonic.

I also wanted to write sidefics for Batttlefield Terra. Well, more like prequels, on the kids' side (the trolls' side would be too spoilerific). Mostly stuff about Mom talking Bro into raising Dirk and Dave (I think for the first couple years of their life she was keeping them too, because Bro wasn't able to deal with two babies -- more emotionally speaking than anything else -- and also maybe because he wasn't quite as on board with things as the other four of them yet), and Jade and Jake following General Harley around as he goes on politicking tours and visits military bases and learning how to shoot, and Nanna's death. The ideas are still kinda vague, though. I'm still prodding at them. Anything else you guys are wondering about re: the kids' past? Not saying I'm going to write them for sure but having the questions would help me figure out the answers, if I don't already know.

That chat had me giggling so much XD I would love to see those tabloid articles!!!

"Someone gets a quote from Duo that, when taken out of context, implies that Relena, er, sleeps around a lot?"

This, yes. ~Dies laughing.~

And no, it's really not platonic. Not even a little bit, lmao X3

There'd be a more respectable/nice magazine that eventually finds out heero and duo were a thing before they got closer to relena and then they'd be all "no they're her totally platonic companions come on two gay men is totally the same as a pair of eunuchs for purity guarding purposes!!! don't dirty her reputation with disgusting allegations of porning behavior >(((" and relena and heero and duo would be all "aha ummm bisexuals exist?" in private XD

I am curious as to infant attempts to destroy the clowns. :D And other incidents in which The Kids Were Rambunctious And Dad Egbert Prevailed. (Super-strength in single-digits = yikes. My ordinary-strength niece nearly broke her mommy's nose when she was two, having a kicking screaming no-I-don't-wanna-get-in-the-carseat tantrum.) Dirk and Dave and the terrible twos plus swords. Jake and Jade and the best hiding spots on highly classified military bases, aka the ventilation system, and pranks. You KNOW that if ickle Jakey had access to meringue pies and a fancy office, he would crawl ten thousand miles to make the two meet explosively.

Seconding this!

i especially like that idea about jake and jade crawling around air vents in super secret bases. "okay, new security check. if two five year olds can find a way in, the security is NOT adequate. shut up i don't care the crawlspaces wouldn't fit a grown man, ROBOTS ARE A THING. NEWSFLASH THEY DON'T NEED TO BE HUGE." meanwhile jake smears frosting on the President's briefcase and jade nails passing soldiers in the head with paperclips. shhh we're playing hide and seek :D :D :D~

"Fair warning, they learned about exploding dye packs at the bank today."

nooo, stop making me want to watch GW. ;_;

As far as BT stuff goes, I think you've mentioned kidnapping attempts before? I would like to see more about those. Were there multiple attempts on some kids, a coordinated "Let's get them all at once!" strike attack, or did they just go after whoever they could get to at the time? I think you mentioned that a kidnapping attempt is what gave Jane her... nervousness, but will that be addressed in the main fic? It's just, since it's stuck in John's PoV (and he probably tries not to dwell on the actual event too much...), I don't want to *never* find out what happened.

How are Roxy and Rose's relationship with their Mom? This strikes me as the biggest difference between their HS selves, since absentee mothers play a big part in how they've matured over there, yet in BT it seems like Mom is a lot more personable with ALL the kids. Especially with the "fate of the world rests on their shoulders" thing, I really don't think BT-Mom would do any sort of active avoidance, like it seemed she was doing in HS. I am not trying to pick at your characterization of her--- in fact, I really love her in your fic!--- I just wonder how this different relationship would have affected Roxy & Rose.

So we know that Roxy and Dirk like Rose best--- any of the other kids have "favorites" and why? Also, I want to know about the pets. I know there is at least Jaspers, and possibly Bec? (Does Maplehoof exist?) When/Why/How? :3

So, all of them were raised together until... when exactly? Chapter 2 mentions that the nursery was built when they were toddlers, but if they split off soon after that, it seems like kind of a waste. xD I feel like the time right before and after their "birth" must have been a fun time, politically, for the adults. ^_^ I'm imagining them at a conference, "These children are the best science can offer--- no, Dave, get your foot out of your mouth." And the image of a superstrongtoddler!John hanging from a light fixture will not get out of my head. xD They'd need to build these kids a jungle gym or something. So basically, ANY baby!fic will be just fine in my book. xD

Did any of the adults really UNDERSTAND what they were getting into at first, that they were creating children and not just Future Saviors Of Earth? You said that their conception happened really fast to slip by loopholes, so I was wondering how each of the adults handled the "Suddenly I have kids!" thing. It's noted that Bro is kind of messed up, but were any of the others really gung-ho about suddenly becoming parents? I guess these issues will probably come up in the Mom/Bro fic, though. ^_^;

How did they decide to split up the canon pairs of "siblings"? I suppose it makes sense that each adult would take their own clone, and I can definitely *see* Mom wanting to keep Rose ("She's a tactical genius; we are not wasting her on cross-country sword-fighting road-trips."), but in the case of John and Jade, both had equal stakes in the Dad and Harley camps. I mean, I understand where that's coming from in the context of This Is A Fanfic That Is Drawing Inspiration From Canon, but I wasn't sure if there was an in-story reason behind this split?

Alsoalso, THIS needs backstory like yesterday, please!
"Dirk in a hospital waiting room thinking he'd gotten Mr. Strider killed levels of sad."
And you say Dave also ended up hurting Bro at some points too? How does Bro deal with that? o_o
"Here are two kids who can fuck you up if you're not careful, but please try not to injure yourself too badly as it will cause them mental harm."
"...right. Don't get fucked up. For the children."

AlsoalsoALSO, Jack Noir/Bro back story plz!

...and I will stop typing now, because Long Comment is Much Longer Than It Has Any Right To Be. xD

I think you mentioned that a kidnapping attempt is what gave Jane her... nervousness, but will that be addressed in the main fic?
No, it wasn't a kidnapping attempt, and yes it'll be addressed next chapter ideally.

So we know that Roxy and Dirk like Rose best
XD That one was mostly a joke. They're all closer to some people depending on specific circumstances and about X topic and to other people in other circumstances/topics. Sometimes it cleaves along sibling lines, and sometimes about prospit kids vs derse kids, and sometimes along same-gendered or opposite-gendered technically-twin lines and sometimes idk, it really depends.

Re: pets, there's Jaspers and Mutie (who isn't really a mutant in this 'verse, i don't think XD) and Bec, though Bec tends to stay outside and roam the island. Jaspers is more often found in the kids' living area and Mutie explores the labs and mech hangars a lot, though s/he (??? i forget) also comes by to eat at the kids'. Alas no Maplehoof. ;^;

I think they were together until toddler-age and then they split and came back together around age eight. babyfic sounds fun though.

Did any of the adults really UNDERSTAND what they were getting into at first, that they were creating children and not just Future Saviors Of Earth?
Yeah, that was Nanna's big thing.

Nanna was kinda tired about raising kids again when her own son was old enough to give her grandkids, but Grandpa Harley was happy about it, since he didn't have family and felt a bit like he'd missed that boat, and Mom tended to regard them with the tender affection of a scientist for her favorite lab mice that are absolutely not to be tested to destruction, just on. like. brainbreaking mazes and stuff. yeah. >___>

The in-story reason for the kids splitting that way was that they weren't sure whether it would be best to 1) make straight clones or mixed clones and which would take to the strength/intelligence alteration the best or whether there would even be a difference, and how gender differences would affect piloting, and how whether same sex or opposite sex bonding worked best. So... the sample size is way too small for accurate results but that was a nod to Mom's half-assed need to keep to the scientific method. XD they did one of each. At the time Strider's fighting techniques were adapted to his own body type and he hadn't studied how to teach and even less how to teach to someone who didn't move like him, and he felt he wouldn't know how to teach a girl to her best potential (also he insisted he had no goddamn clue how to handle a girl) so he and Mom decided to get the same gender pairs, and by default the other two pairs got to be mixed gender.

And you say Dave also ended up hurting Bro at some points too? How does Bro deal with that? o_o
Either "Not bad. Dare you to do it again." or the kind of look that means "Will you quit blubbering, you fucking pansy, it's just a flesh wound srsly i'm fine.", only mostly because he can't speak at the time XD

LONG COMMENTS ARE AWESOME SHUSH. i'm sad i can't answer everything!!!

I need to ask: Bro/Dad/Mom is a thing behind closed doors in BT, right? Right???

But no, I'm just not too sure what else to request, as everyone except John scares me in that verse. Still getting my bearing, as it were!

Dad/Mom is a thing, though Dad is persuaded none of the kids have figured it out. (ha. ha. ha.) Bro=>Dad is also a thing but Bro has Major Issues about sex and love (namely he finds them utterly incompatible, seeing as he associates sex with baser needs at best and violence, contempt and degradation at worst) so even though Mom wouldn't mind sharing Bro so far has refused to entertain the idea.

John might be one of the scariest, though! he just doesn't THINK he is. XD

I kind of want to see them struggling with LEARNING THINGS. Like martial arts or gundam piloting or MATHS or psychology or ANYTHING REALLY.

Also, have any of them ever interacted with someone who doesn't know they're SUPER SOLDIERS? Have they ever met a civilian? Do they care/are they curious?

shocking reversal! the princess' lovers... in bed together!!!!!! RELENA CHEATED ON???? (i mean dude okay she has two but she's QUEEN RELENA
--> Btw this? Had me grinning like a loon.

ooh, kids at school. Hmmmmm. :3

When they were kids they interacted with civilians as no one knew what they were and their guardians were attempting the "let's pretend we're normal and ordinary and totally aboveboard and not doing anything skirting the edge of illegal" thing. Now they're pilots the civilians they accidentally meet tend to be brought in as aides or stuff like that for visiting politicians. It's possible they've met some who weren't briefed and didn't overhear about the age of the pilots, idk. The kids would have been pretty matter of fact about it. Sometimes when things are calmer a couple of them might be able to go to the mailand to watch a movie or do some shopping, and some of them probably chat with people online, they're not totally isolated. (they wouldn't tell online friends a lot about their actual lives though.)

:D Queen Relena can totally have a harem if she wants damn it!

^^ see, I dont need to argue proof of 3x4, the show does it plenty for me lol. Honestly, I dont see why more people dont see it, they're so blatantly shipped in the series, and even further, where as every other male has an opposite female counterpart that could be a romantic interest, Trowa has a sister and Quatre has Dorothy, nuff said there.

Waaant. Just, oh man, sordid tabloid fic featuring all of the above. As it is, I feel irrationally pleased about this post. Like, that it even exists. Hope springs eternal and all that. *sparkles* *tries to think of something to say* *fails* *SPARKLES HARDER*

W-waaaaaait. You actually wrote a variation on the gay orgy with "Heero's Week". So. It theoretically could be true, with the subtraction of Relena. The reporter thinks it's bull, but the Gundam pilots know better.

*SPARKLESPLOSION*

ooooOOOOooooh. *_* *PONDER MIGHTILY*
