My prediction...

[surrealistdreamer]

...for what's going to happen in the future with the people who are crying about leaving tumblr fiveever because they're supposedly cracking down hard on nsfw stuff (even though all evidence points to they're actually not). A couple weeks from now they're still going to be on tumblr. They're still going to post nsfw stuff and people are still gonna see it.

Honestly this is starting to get really annoying. Though the thing that really makes me want to roll my eyes so hard they fall out of my head is that people seem to want to scapegoat yahoo even though tumblr has always run itself as ineptly as possible without the intervention of a large company. And if I see one more post whining about yahoo wanting to clean the site up "for the children" even though tumblr let's you join if you have an email and has never asked for your age then I'm gonna throw up.

Yop yop! And Roxas can be Sora's twin who tries to convince him to join the cult, but Sora is like "No those guys are nutty and not everyone is an evil stain upon the world." Also I had horrifying visions of the group drugging and tying people up during Kaiju attacks to offer them up as sacrifices to the Kaiju. What's most disturbing is how the sacrifices keep getting younger and younger...

Also various princesses become researchers and mechanics for the Jeager project.

That is so creepy and so interesting, and I want to read it right, even though it doesn't exist yet!

Re: ALSO!

[surrealistdreamer]

Oh man I should totally write something for it! Eeee!

Re: ALSO!

[gryphonsegg]

Yes, you should! It is a good idea, and you should feel good about thinking of it.

I also just had beautiful thoughts of Aladin and Jasmine being a married Jaeger couple along with Hank "Herc" Athena who pilots with his fiance Meg. And Adam "Beast" Prince (who got his nickname from being a large burly man) is a mechanic who has a cute relationship with the mathematician Belle.

I couldn't help smiling as I read that!

As an added bonus, it already sounds so much more girl-friendly than all the crappy attempts by dudes to "reimagine" the Disney Princesses as "warrior princesses" or "kickass" characters, which always seem to entail putting them in skimpier-than-ever outfits and more sexualized poses. (It's especially gross when Pocahontas is included because she 1) is based on a real life person who 2) was actually only 10-12 years old when she met John Smith).

That's cuz I actually like girls and feel a lot of fond nostalgia for the princesses even with as problematic as they are as characters. Because my love for characters doesn't stop at white dudes.

Also I even came up with a tragic backstory for Goofy wanting to become a Jaeger pilot. His wife and son were killed in a Kaiju attack and he wanted to initially be a pilot, but a lot like Neville he was too clumsy and had a bad tendency to get lost in the Drift. Not wanting to kick him out of the program completely Micky gave him a counseling position. Goofy is particularly invested in Sora's team because they're the youngest out of all the pilots (being in their late teens/early twenties) and acts a paternal figure to them all. Donald won't admit it, but he's fond of the kids too.

Re: ALSO!

[gryphonsegg]

That makes me so happy!

Meanwhile, I don't have a plot for the Claymore AU yet, but do know that Helen and Deneve are Canadian and a married couple and their Jaeger is named Aurora Crescendo!
