Life and Times of Teh Asuka

I want to do something o-ficcy. IDK, write my old characters, worldbuild for some new fic. I want packbonding and weird alien things. I can't decide. It's horrible.

I just... Mermaids in Space? Not enough alienness. Black Ops Werewolves? Not enough scifiness. That new weirdass survival/horror thingie I've been toying with in the last couple months? I don't even know the characters all that well!

I need weird and dangerous as fuck ecosystems and people engineered into not quite human creatures and possibly also visibly unsettling and psychic powers and PACK BONDING AAAA.

I also want to write Tyr learning how to be pack alpha. Not enough aliens in that fic but. Oh man the first time he loses his temper = glorious.

Frargh.

I'll probably regret this, but. Anyone feel like prompting me? Asking worldbuilding questions? Anything? .__.

Quick summaries cause it's been a while:

-Mermaids in Space follows adorably serious, young telepathic tribal mermaid Liadan, goofy and idealist, psychic-null, intellectual/marine biologist Arun, and antisocial empath, mechanic, space pirate Blue in their mad escape from Evil Corporation that wants to mine Liadan's nice abandoned waterworld without consulting with the locals. Other characters to be found here (main trio and bad guys) and here (blue's pirate crew), illustrated.

-Territoriality: The war against pseudoelves has come to a draw, so some of the soldiers who were part of an attempt to induce lycanthropy without allowing it to conclude in transformation are cut loose. Now on top of the convenient strength and healing abilities they have to deal with powerful instincts and health issues. Also with the local werebeast society, which isn't really happy to see them. Characters are asexual, wry, introverted alpha-wolf-to-be Tyr Andersen, snarky asshole Dian Keller, one-eyed silently snarky badass she-wolf Neve Serrano, charming liar Gabe Wright the werebear, bitchy tiny tiger Xiang and her best friend Athena the Secretary, etc.

( AND A SUPER LONG CHAT ABOUT THAT OTHER IDEA, BECAUSE I CAN. )

battlefield terra rambles

2012-05-29T15:18:43Z

Chapter's 2/5ths done and 7 800 words long. Oh, self.

Granted, the rest of what I have planned COULD possibly go by relatively fast, and brand new unplanned little detours might NOT happen, so the chapter clocks in at a fairly respectable yet still manageable in one sitting 12k! Yeah uh that's just not how my plotbunnies work. *hangs head*

On the other hand, telepathic shenanigans, clonesibs being clonesibby, and bro/jack hateflirting. More detours plz.

--

Askerian: Dirk extracted himself from his bunk by way of hooking one hand into Dave's bunk's guardrail and reverse-curling himself upward in a boneless, snakelike wave. All 'look at my abs! I do a hundred crunches a day!' Feh.
"Alright, time to go." He nodded to John, and then to Karkat. Karkat quickly looked away and pretended to have been busy with his mess of a bed all along.
Adi: ...and Karkat goes "Damn, that human is fit."
Askerian: the reason John keeps losing at gay chicken against Dirk is that he does not know himself. :-X
Askerian: hahahaha
Askerian: also that dirk is gay, and so he does not chicken out.
Askerian: either he gets kisses by handsome boys, or he gets to win! it's a game he literally cannot lose.
Adi: yeah. He is in favor of gay makeouts with the guy who looks like Jake. No, seriously.
Askerian: =3
Adi: eventually, John will realize that that he, too, is not entirely straight, and Dirk will have some competition on his hands.
Askerian: XD
Adi: and still he will not lose, because John is a good looking boy, let's be honest
Askerian: nah, john is *bashful*.
Askerian: well, not very much, but XD
Adi: awwwwww

mmarycontrary: So, once John knows he’s gay/bi/pilotsexual, Dirk wins by being more willing to do it in public? More extreme? Or does he go for the ultimate taboo and make it downright *AFFFFFFFECTIONAAAAAATE*?

Bahahahaha. Affectionate would possibly be more embarrassing for John than raunchy, because he could tell himself raunchy is just them being crude/disgusting/GUYS at each other in perfect broharmony. I think Dirk merely wins because he’s impossible to embarrass. The man knows and embraces his quirks and kinks, there is nothing to shame him with.

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.

spammy Battlefield Terra blatherings

2012-05-07T14:51:06Z

-The more I think about it, the more I want to do a "quote me a scenebit and i'll tell you what Karkat was saying/thinking" thing with the ask box over on tumblr. It could be hilarious, heartbreaking, or more likely both.

Alas what it would also be is potentially v. spoilerific. I tend to want to answer ALL THE QUESTIONS, especially since background or worldbuilding questions often help me refine my own mental images of those things even as I explain them to other people. End result is that I often end up hinting way too much about what happens next. Hrrm. *ponders* Maybe I should wait a bit. idk. Or maybe I should only answer the ones where what Karkat says is a long list of impressive swear words. That could also work. It wouldn't be informative but it would probably be funny.

-I have been asked what BT would be like if Karkat was the one who had taken John captive.

The answers are not pleasant. ( discussions of rape )

When I say the Karkat ships aren't fixed in this story, what I mean is "why do you keep throwing me bunnies for casual threesomes with just about everyone ever."

( random somewhat spoilerific babble )
