UMMMMMMMMM ???????? am literally going to freak out flip a table throw my foot through a wall who knows but I AM SO EXCITED. and alas no one will care so here i come to tumblr to word vomit my feelings.
ANYWAY. as no one knows but now you do, i'm going to see bjm on october 28th at psych fest / levitation. AS WELL AS THE DANDY WARHOLS. and i was like hmmmm, i wonder what bjm's setlist looks like for levitation, bc usually they only play their recent music. well let me tell you my jaw DROPPED when i looked it up on youtube. their austin setlist?? FUCKING STACKED. at least it was ten years ago. super-sonic, wisdom, you have been disconnected, vacuum boots, oh lord ( with the dandy warhols, and if anton and courtney play together again i will literally fucking die on the spot ), servo, GOT MY EYE ON YOU??? and yes yes i know matt hollywood won't be around for this but if they play something off of strung out in heaven i might actually start sobbing. like i've already accepted that i'm going to cry during this concert bc it'll be one of the best days of my entire life, but full on sobbing my eyes out ?? may just happen. my poor friend gyna is never going to see me the same bc i'm gonna be the only one ugly crying over a psychedelic rock band that no one gives a shit about. WELL I DO. clearly.
anyway the very idea that they may play some of these songs, or literally ANY OLD SONGS AT ALL, is hyping me up so much i can't even describe how fucking excited i am. like this is more excitement than joel gion's memoir. and if they play goddamn super-sonic, i'm not just going to cry, i'm going to scream.
now i've said it before and i'll say it again : i'm not gonna be the same person after october 28th. i will be fundamentally changed as a human being. THAT'S a promise.
me when my core three original works are all about music lol. we got a psychedelic band with the two mains as toxic lovers, got a dude who can't sell music and resents his sister for being successful, then most recently a folk singer who falls in love with his biggest rival, a music journalist… i can't stop
almost wishing i could do anything other than JUST drawing cats, but alas. warriors has me in its grip. not sure about nanowrimo this year, but i am drawing every day so !!! that’s something
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!
the fact that it's been ten years since i started reading warriors is crazy to me. so some part of me wants to make an account dedicated to that but – also, i don't read the series anymore? so mainly i'd just talk about my ocs and random story ideas i have, and some echoclan would probably slip in there, clangen, also maybe fics i enjoy ... who knows! could happen but i'm still thinking about it lol. also, i think i do plan on possibly making a person of interest acc as well, but idk i am debating heavily. i've already made four new accs do i really need to add TWO MORE??? idk we shall see
new bjm is like a gift from god. a spiritual awakening. i will never get over how much i love this band
why is it the moment i start talking about lord of the rings ( a series i am not involved in fandom wise ) it starts popping up everywhere ... recommended on youtube, fandom stuff on twitter, gifs on tumblr. these movies are calling out to me i guess. and i haven't even thought about it in years. the call will be answered soon tho dw. i just don't wanna watch them alone because let's be real, this is an experience best shared with someone else lol.
but yeah i still remember when i was little my cousin watched one of these movies with me, he had them all on dvd and i was soooo jealous. i used to be terrified of gollum he was literally so scary to me ( still is ? ) and just ... the worst lol. but! basically these movies were very very important to my childhood, i grew up on them and watched them with my dad all the time, literally rivals harry potter for me in terms of best movie series ever. i did watch all of the hobbit movies like last year which obvs aren't as good but i always like martin freeman so ... yk. also smaug stays slaying i love that dragon. will never forget watching all those movies in theatres for my bday lol, one girl cried cause of the giant spiders scene. like girl shut up.
also the fact that the extended versions of lotr are like. nearly 4 hours long each ( with return of the king being 4 AND A HALF?! ) is insane to me. sorry i'm sticking to the theatrical releases...
anyway lotr ramble? never thought i'd see the day but here we are. just kinda forgot how much i adore these movies so!
HELLO XPHILESBLR i have returned!!!!!!!!!!!
