a) you give me a credit for the original idea
and most importantly
b) you shoot me a link so I can see what you’ve made!
"linen-look", for when you want the crinkly discomfort of new linen but without the durability, environmental-friendliness, or any promise that it'll get softer with washing

hades modern au wherein hades quits/takes early retirement from his job as a prison warden (his participation in the carceral system being one of the many factors that nearly destroyed his still-teetering marriage) and opens an escape room business with the gimmick of absolute ball-busting punitive difficulty
he then recruits his twentysomething son, who has been half-dragging his feet/half-honestly fucking up the criminology degree that hades insists on paying for, to be the head tester.
this is a job that zagreus would actually enjoy except that for some deranged reason known only to himself hades’ other pick for senior tester is zagreus’ childhood best friend, than, who has been pissed off at zagreus for going on five years now for reasons he does not feel obligated to directly explain. also, because you can’t spell “nepotism” without “several direct kicks to the figurative testicles”, the senior game master is zagreus’ ex-girlfriend.
meanwhile than’s brother, the receptionist (who answers the phone “Tartarus Puzzle Rooms, there is no escape, how can I help you?”), likes to watch the security camera so he can cheerfully taunt anyone who loses.
the custodian has an emotional support snake.
security consists of a heavily decorated war hero who spends most of his time standing in front of a closet trying not to have a flashback.
the guy who was ostensibly hired to do aesthetic design—music, prop-building, etc—refuses to work because he misses his ex-wife too much (and anyway his best work was always done with her collaboration, without her really he can’t do anything worthwhile, so why bother? the real question is why hades keeps signing this guy’s paychecks).
zagreus’ insane relatives (his uncle the governor; his other uncle the celebrity oceanographer; his large group of colorful cousins including but not limited to the historian/Go champion, the iron-livered party-boy philosopher, the Olympic archer/survivalist, the frightening violent weirdo, the agelessly hot actress who he’s pretty sure is hitting on him, and the guy with 10000 jobs) keep dropping by.
one of the other employees is a guy who used to be one of hades’ inmates. he has a pet rock—which he talks to—and he’s probably the nicest, sanest guy on staff.
one of the recurring parties is this ultra-rich pro athlete dipshit who seems to think it is his personal god-given duty to beat zagreus’s time in every room. he brings along his personal assistant/bodyguard most visits. the PA is significantly better at the puzzles than his boss is.
the towns/cities of note are Sticks (the tiny town near the State Penitentiary that mostly serves to house and feed the penitentiary employees. this is where zagreus, than, and meg lived as kids), Ashfield (the larger university town/small city nearby which houses Tartarus Puzzle Rooms and where most of the cast lives), and Olympia (the state capital and the home of most of zagreus' insane relatives. no this was not intended to take place in Washington state specifically but come on. Olympia.)
the security guy (achilles "lee" pelides) and the love of his life (local doctor patroclus "pat" opus) were high school friends turned army buddies that got separated when both of them were seriously injured in a firefight and achilles begged for patroclus to be saved first. their superiors refused to give them information on each other afterwards (yes, it was homophobia--this was the DADT era, and although they had no evidence and therefore couldn't discharge either of them, their superiors were deeply suspicious of their bond). achilles ended up needing to have his leg amputated and was given an honorable discharge for it; patroclus served out his term and then returned to civilian practice. they both suspect that the other is dead; they certainly have no idea that they're living in the same place. zagreus independently developed somewhat of an exasperated friendship with pat because of his semi-frequent visits to pat's urgent care facility.
than has four biological siblings (his older sisters, the triplets clotho, lachesis, and atropos; his twin brother hypnos) as well as an assemblage of cousins, foster siblings, and random people that his mother semi-adopted. (charon is from a technical biological standpoint his uncle; he's much younger than nyx and is more like her eldest son emotionally.) he has never met his biological father and has no desire to beyond vague curiosity. his other job is working for his sisters as the dyer for their indie yarn and fabric business. his hobbies include insect-watching and competitive polearm fighting.
DEMON: THE RED DEATH
Every night, choose one other player to Infect. They become The Red Death. You then die.
If the Red Death is a possible role in the game, the players can nominate to Quarantine a character rather than Execute them. If they Quarantine The Red Death, good wins. Quarantined players cannot be Infected.
If The Red Death is Executed, the player who nominated them is Infected. If The Red Death is killed by another player, the player who killed them is Infected.
-1 Minion. The Red Death should be used in sets with other possible demons.
MINION: THE REVELER
Once per game, at night, you may choose to render any Quarantine formed the next day ineffective.
OUTSIDER: THE BRICKLAYER Once per game, at night, you may choose one other player to become the object of your obsession. If they die by any means, you take on their opposing alignment.
If the game ends before this occurs, you lose, even if good otherwise wins.
Your alignment cannot be changed by any other means.
TOWNSPERSON: THE MEDICAL STUDENT
Once per game, at night, when at least one Townsperson, Outsider, and Minion have all died, you can choose one of them to return to life. They become a Construct of their original alignment.
OUTSIDER or MINION: THE CONSTRUCT
You lose your original abilities.
If you are voted to be Executed, your alignment becomes evil (if it isn't already). If you are nominated but not voted to be Executed, your alignment becomes good (if it isn't already). This effect can occur only once per game.
You do not die when Executed, but other effects caused by your Execution proceed as normal. (This includes the Bricklayer's ability.) Your alignment change occurs after all other effects caused by your Execution.
MINION: THE FACADE
Once per game, at night, you may choose one other player to become your exploited spouse. They are then informed that you are the Facade.
If you are Executed, or killed in any other manner predicated on your alignment being evil, they lose, even if their team otherwise wins.
TOWNSPERSON: THE PRODIGAL SON
If the game goes on for more than [number of players - 3] rounds, you become evil.
DEMON: THE RED DEATH
Every night, choose one other player to Infect. They become The Red Death. You then die.
If the Red Death is a possible role in the game, the players can nominate to Quarantine a character rather than Execute them. If they Quarantine The Red Death, good wins. Quarantined players cannot be Infected.

idea: a production of Legally Blonde: the Musical where Emmett is a trans man
exhibit a: "Take it Like a Man"
Piling on the support train!! I've been watching for....gosh, probably 12-13 years at this point. After growing up on the DCAU, your show was what finally made me make the jump into reading comics, and now I have a ton of favorites characters and stories. Your storylines also encouraged me to pursue writing again!! I've been published since! And because this is the ask box, is there a favorite running gag of yours that you'd like to use more but can't find ways to work it in organically?
Thank you so much! Honestly, I wish "I am a Man" came up more frequently, but there are only so many comics I've reviewed where someone loudly declares their gender. XD That and the Megaforce "...That's totally inapplicable to anything that's going on here. And it's DUMB."
I don't remember if I've told you this before, @atopfourthwall, but that one time you kept using "I AM A MAN" in the "previously on" segment, ending with the spiel about "I AM CONFUSED ABOUT MY GENDER IDENTITY"? that legitimately helped my fiancee realize that she's trans.
she has always wanted to thank you, but she doesn't use tumblr, so on behalf of my fiancee, thank you so much for that joke. it's made an immeasurable difference in her happiness.
you ever write a line from a character's perspective that is so horribly self-loathing that you instinctively go holy shit, don't think about yourself that way?
this post brought to you by me writing a song from present mic's perspective about how he feels like it's his duty to live oboro's dream and provide constant emotional support for eraser even though (at least from his perspective) eraser just wishes oboro had survived instead
specifically, I just wrote a line where he refers to the three of them as "two star-crossed high school sweethearts and the talking scenery"

Just been thinking about how much I love Robin's Straw Hat initiation. Some of the Straw Hats took an entire arc to join, meanwhile Robin's just like "Hey my boss tried to kill me and I sorta got nowhere else to go. Can I crash with you guys?" and Luffy just goes "Oh for sure, bro"
don't forget that Sanji--the person who infamously cannot hurt or attack women--was pointing a gun at her head during much of this conversation. this does not detract in any way from how casual she and Luffy were about it
@themuffinsoup I actually misremembered--Sanji draws a gun on Robin when she shows up at the end of the Whiskey Peak arc.
(also-- this implies that Sanji just carries a gun around at all times but almost never uses it??)
a tododeku animatic to "Baby It's Cold Outside" with shouto as the person who """""""""wants to leave""""""""" and at the end the camera pulls back to reveal that the snowstorm is extremely localized to izuku's house
