Chapter 2: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Chapter Text

-Basil totally doesn't have thousands of sketchbooks with Dorian in them and he totally doesn't have a picture of him he uses as a bookmark (so not me)

-Dorian likes to do origami. His bedroom is decorated with paper swans.

-He also has a shrine for his parents in his room.

-Henry has a beast form uh- Only Basil knows.

-James is autistic and needs Sibyl with him at all times. If not, he will light a house on fire unintentionally.

-Orientation???

     -Dorian: Bisexual Panromantic

     -Basil: Homosexual Demiromantic

     -Henry: Pansexual Homoromantic

     -Sibyl: Asexual Demiromantic

     -James: Asexual Aromantic (ace sibs!!)

     -Alan: Homosexual Homoromantic (HAH HES GAYER THAN BASIL)

     -Adrian: Omnisexual Aromantic

     -Hetty: Homosexual Panromantic (SIBYL/HETTY SOLIDARITY BELIEVERS RISE UP)

 

-Alan and Adrian was part of a small friend circle, that's how they both met Dorian

-Basil and Henry dated (obvs) during their Oxford days. But then Victoria was like "no homo" and literally snatched henry like what

-Oh uh bc Henry's a type of demon, I made Basil into some sort of fairy. idk. like. maybe a cross between an angel and a fairy? he also has wings made out of light

-During the Oxford days, Henry used to braid Basil's hair when Basil decided to grow his hair long. then during graduation Henry was so disappointed when he found out Basil cut his hair short. by the time TPODG begins, Basil's hair had already grown longer but Henry doesn't braid his hair anymore. at least, not in public

-so im working on a TPODG x Hamilton fic... i just finished watching Hamilton i basically just vibed to You'll Be Back and Room Where It Happens on loop.

so

-TPODG characters as Hamilton songs!!

     -Dorian: A Winter's Ball

     -Basil: Room Where It Happens (where my shitbag friend corrupts my blond shawty)

     -Henry: You'll Be Back

     -Sibyl: Helpless

     -James: My Shot (HELP IT AUTOCORRECTED TO MY SHIT LMFAOOOOOOOO)

     -Alan: Say No To This (kinds of, like, reflects on him and dorian's relationship)

     -idk for hetty and adrian, tbh....

     (extra: idk which character to tack Burn on, Dorian, Basil or Henry. but honestly i think it applies to all three of them bc i love their stupid love triangle)

-OTP prompt: Harry being careful (or not at all careful) taking off Basil's shirt because Basil is extremely ticklish.

     -i'll probs write this idk

-ALSO tpodg ships as songs cuz yeah (lmao most of it is just dorian and james isn't shipped at all cuz he's an ace/aro bby)

     -Dorian/Basil: I Wanna Be Your Slave - Maneskin

     -Dorian/Henry: Rhinestone Eyes - Gorillaz

     -Basil/Henry: Two Birds - Regina Spektor//Time Moves Slow - BADBADNOTGOOD

     -Dorian/Alan: Washing Machine Heart - Mitski

     -Dorian/Sibyl: NEVER MET! - CMTEN

     -Dorian/Adrian: So High - Doja Cat

     -Dorian/Basil/Henry: Abnormality Dancin' Girl - Guchiri (tho i think the utatane piko/vocaloid cover works better)//Jenny - Studio Killers//Bitter Choco Decoration - syudou//all i want is you - Rebzyyx feat. hoshie star (lmao i could go on and on w/ this list bc you dont know how fucked up i see this ship as)

     -Sibyl/Hetty: All Men Are Pigs - Studio Killers (YES I LOVE STUDIO KILLERS I LOVE VIRTUAL BANDS DONT JUDGE ME)

     -Alan/Adrian (i have no reason to ship this yet i do): Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood

     -Dorian/LEGIT EVERYONE (minus James): Boys X Girls - You Love Her (yeah it makes a pretty good bisexual song, as a bisexual myself *also applies it to combeferre, utterson, kemp and grantaire*)

-also think thank u, next by ariana grande is also a good dorian song because YES

     -"thought i'd end up with adrian/but he wasn't a match"

     -"wrote some songs about alan/now i listen and laugh"

     -"even almost got married/and for pete i'm so thankful" (this one he's talking about sibyl)

     -"wish i could say thank you to basil/cause he was an angel"

     -"one taught me love (basil)/one taught me patience (alan)/one taught me pain (sibyl)/now i'm so amazing"

     -dorian screaming: "IM SO FUCKING GRATEFUL FOR MY EX"

    -"spend more time with my friends/i ain't worried 'bout nothin'/plus i've met someone else/we're having better discussions"

    -"i know they say i move on too fast/gonna make that shit last/cause his name is harry/and i'm so good with that"

    -"he taught me love/he taught me patience/he handles pain" in short: "he taught me hedonism"

    -"one day i'll walk down the aisle/holding hands with my mama/i'll be thanking my grandpa/cause she grew from the drama"

 

-harry has, like, one older brother, two older sisters, six little brothers and two little sisters. yes, his parents bang a lot. 

-meomi accidentally said "bagel" instead of "basil". i laughed so hard

     -so: during the first few days of their friendship, harry kept calling basil "bagel" as a joke. honestly basil expected harry to call him an herb. but nope. bagel

Summary:

jek

Chapter Text

-Enfield, for some reason, dyes his hair pink. His actual hair colour is blonde. (yeah i got the pink hair idea from the MazM game shoo dont judge me)

-omg transmasc Jekyll????? yas.

-Lanyon is like- really tall- for some reason- ENFIELD IS TALLER.

-Enfield is an illegitimate child. Utterson of course didn't tell him that (Gabe's the older cousin) but of course Enfield found out-

-Jekyll has very bad insomnia (yours truly)

-Newcomen,, really likes cakes and chocolate. a sweet tooth. yeah

      -He can also stand spicy food really well

-Jekyll is allergic to nuts. so he almost died when Enfield bought a cake with nuts in it for Jekyll, Utterson and Lanyon during the trio's graduation day (lmfao when i typed day it autocorrected to gay lmfaooooooo)

      -"RICHIE WHAT DID YOU DO?????? WHATS IN THAT CAKE??????????????"

      -"oh? berries, like cranberries and blueberries, and a bit of walnuts"

      -"im sorry, WALNUTS?"

      -"yeah, why?"

      -"hhnggghnhgnnnnnnnnFUCK"

-ya'll Hyde is ace/aro and doesn't want any of your shit

-Lanyon is actually a talented artist????? when he drew a landscape when the trio where out for a picnic the gang was like ":OOOOOOO"

-tallest to shortest: hyde, jekyll, utterson, newcomen, lanyon, enfield

       -combing through my old J&H sketches i found out that i always believed hyde was a big guy. leGIT. hyde is super buff what why did i draw him like that. edgy sharp teeth.......................

Summary:

polyamory

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

-REZA GETS CURED FROM THE TAY-SACHS DISEASE AND HIM AND HIS DAD LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

-In Box Five, there's a ladder that leads to a secret room above the opera. It was, like, a hangout room for Erik and Nadir. It also led to the top of the Palais Garnier where it had like, a great view of the Eiffel Tower. they would like... sit there, leaning on each other shoulders. in a non-gay way

-I like to think Charles looks more like Christine than Erik, but Charles still has those glow-in-the-dark eyes.

-AYESHA HATES RAOUL >:(((( Erik taught her to hate him

     -She likes Charles more. So he's the one that's usually feeding her, cleaning her litter box, that type of shit

-Raoul really likes to bake. His sisters taught him and it was like, so handy in the future

     -Raoul: "Who wants cream puffs??"

     -Charles/Reza: "CREEAM PUFFS!!!!"

     -Raoul: "Only for those who finished their homework"

-Also, a little context for the headcanon above:

     -After Nadir dies, Reza shows up at Raoul's door with a letter from Nadir written just a bit before he kicked the bucket. Nadir told Raoul to legally adopt Reza since he's like,, dying.

     -i mean, Charles and Reza could be considered brothers bc they share one dad: Erik

Notes:

im so high and tired right now i have a school project due on Thursday and i'm barely done and this was the best i could do

Chapter 5: Les Miserables

Notes:

gays

Chapter Text

-Marius and Cosette's wedding except my version (note: this is part of my Javert lives/zombie au which (ofc) Valjean saves Javert at the Seine and bc i said so Gavroche, Eponine, Fantine and Les Amis revive as zombies. kind of. BECAUSE I SAID SO. their deaths were SAD OKAY THIS IS HOW I COPE I MAKE ZOMBIE AU'S I CANNOT COPE WITH THE CHARACTER JUST DYING LIKE THAT THATS WHY IM SO BAD AT WRITING ANGST YOU GUYS. also Valjean doesn't die straight away he lives long enough to get married to Javert and see Cosette's child.

       -Courfeyrac is the best man. who else would be the best man?????

       -Eponine is the maid of honour. they're besties and you can't change my mind. COSETTE AND EPONINE ARE GIRLBOSSES

       -Combeferre tries not to cry. he leaves the wedding in a puddle full of tears.

       -Gavroche is the flower boy and Eponine literally just watches him throw the petals like "bro slow down wait no gav nO NO DONT POUR THE WHOLE BASKET"

       -the bachelor party is just chaotic. because it's Les Amis de l'ABC we're talking about. Grantaire almost stabbed Enjolras in the head with a broken wine glass. not like it would hurt, cuz they were already dead.

        -when Cosette threw the bouquet, all the bridesmaids fangirled and then when it landed in Javert's (who was literally just minding his business) hands everyone just-- froze. and then Valjean just looked away.

        -Fantine is absolutely SHAKING AND CRYING like OML HER LITTLE GIRL GOT MARRIED SHE HAS HER OWN PRINCE CHARMING NOW YAY

        -Feuilly had made this pretty white fan for Cosette and she was like ":OOOO the ribbons are shiny!!"

 

-Jehan is genderfluid (they/them), asexual and mute. they use French Sign Language (LSF/langue des signes francaise). also knows LIS (Italian Sign Language), Shassi (Israeli Sign Language), can write in Greek, Hebrew and Latin. this is canon i just wanted to apply the fact that they're a polyglot without making them speak.

        -all of Les Amis are taking their time to learn LSF so that they could understand Jehan. Combeferre knows more LSF than the others (though still not fluent) so he's usually Jehan's translator

-Grantaire used to have sleepwalking problems as a kid. still does occasionally as an adult. i mean he's asleep most of the time so every once in a while he accidentally shoots his own friends

-after Valjean and Javert die together, they become a zombie like the others, and since they don't go out in public cuz y'know, Valjean usually goes to see Cosette in the middle of the night

        -"PAPA WHAT THE FUCK YOU HAD TO BREAK THE WINDOW OPEN"

-i like to think that when Eponine gets tired of Gavroche's shit, she just hands them over to Les Amis like, "right he's your problem now"

        -absolutely scolds Enjolras and kicks him in the dick when Gav is injured in any way

        -"you FUCKERS MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME"

        -"YOU ALREADY KNOW WE'RE A REVOLUTIONIST CLUB WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU GIVE HIM TO US WE LEGITS BUILT A WHOLE ASS BARRICADE AND PLANNING TO OVERTHROW THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AS WE SPEAK. YOU KNOW ALREADY WHY DID YOU- OW FUCK THAT HURT"

        -"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO YOU BITCHFACE"

        -also i headcanon them having this sort of rivalry dynamic. the amis is like, "ew he's straight" bc they all think they like eachother and then moments later Enj is like "what's so attractive about a WOMAN???????? what even is a woman???????????"

-uh since canon!valjean is like... buff...... he works out a lot........... and used to do morning jogs w/ cosette.......................... cosette is bu-

-AU concept: R is a musician in college he can make, like, really good instrumentals but canNOT sing to save his life. then joining les amis bc he has nothing better to do he meets enj who has a gorgeous signing voice and they make songs together

        -gays insues

-marius is a bit... poly for the amis... he kinda wants to have a gangbang w/ all of them....

        -i mean he did already fuck courf but that didn't count bc they're roommates

-AU concept: les amis except its doki doki literature club. marius is the MC, courf is sayori/the childhood friend, and enj is monika/the yandere (which ig explains how enj in the musical is like "UGH marius just SHUT THE FUCK UP abt cosette" like he's jealous)

        -underage drinking w/ grantaire :)

        -jehan's probs natsuki minus the tsundere persona. i mean: baking and manga??????? yes.

-ANOTHER AU concept because my brain loves making plots but can't make original/creative characters: les mis high school AU but its kinda like abbott elementary (the show's really good its like the office except not in an office but a public school in philadelphia) but focuses on the students and not the teachers.

        -les amis is a club: enj is the president, courf is the secretary and ferre is the treasurer. marius found out about the club not long after it was created and finding out courf is there he decided to join. and he entered the room right in the middle of vice-president voting. so after some discussing and shit marius is vice-president

        -javert is a history teacher and cosette is in his class. valjean is a dick and flirts w/ javert in front of his own daughter and that makes said daughter very uncomfortable

        -valjean knows cosette can go to class herself he just tags along w/ her so that he could see javert

        -ponine and enj: mlm/wlw solidarity the movie

        -gavroche is an orphan who kinda lives in the alley of the school. courf found him one day and made him a nice home in the abandoned computer lab, ofc getting permission from the principal to use the room (and not telling him what its actually for. courf just said "extra storage for our club's flags and... stuff")

        -everyone is dumb gay (gay gay gay gay gay gay gay)

        -its set in the 80s bc i love the 80s and it gives me an excuse to ask my dad abt the 80s bc he still has his old CDs in his office and my grandma's car still has the cassette player at the back of her car trunk (she has so much stuff in her trunk for some reason??? she has laundry, hangers, boxes and im pretty sure she still hasnt cleaned it out)

        -how did this turn from me telling ya'll my ideas to me complaining abt my grandma's weird ass old car w/ bad air conditioning

-so yeah feuilly is polish

        -his mother is polish and migrated to france bc her parents had some business shit. then her parents died of old age and she had an affair w/ and artistocrat

        -and feuilly is born!!

        -lmao why did i add those exclaimation marks

-ANOTHER FUCKING AU CONCEPT WITH YET AGAIN OUR BARRICADE BOYS CAUSE I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEM: zombie survival!au where unlike the first au i mentioned about marius and cosette's wedding where the dead characters are zombies, this time they're human and the rest of society are zombies

       -les amis are like the guys. they have everything. they weaponize bossuet's bad luck, joly's hypochondria, jehan's weird poems, r's alcoholism, ferre's weird moth attraction, courf being courf, feuilly's badass fans, bahorel's buff-ness and enj's trans-ness

       -fantine got bit by a zombie and during her final seconds pleaded valjean to take care of cosette

       -the thenardiers make money out of having a survival bunker and offering ppl a place to sleep. ofc zombies raid it and they become zombies themselves.

       -eponine and marius reside in an abandoned bunker together. in seperate beds ofc guys i dont ship them i dont ship marponine or enjonine (why does that ship exist?????) i ship a very onesided EPOSETTE and that's final.

       -javert is pursuing valjean under the charges offf...... zombie smuggling!!! its a thing i made up :sunglasses: in this universe in other countries, zombies are used as test subjects to find cures and stuff, and france is the most populated w/ zombies: so there was a smuggling thing going on and yeah

 

-so i did this test w/ my classmates. i asked them (who know absolutely nothing of les mis) who was there favourite amis (plus marius and gavroche). i showed them a drawing of the amis as chibis and

      -most of them picked bossuet for some reason????? why? because he's BALD. THE SOLE REASON THEY PICKED HIM BC HE'S BALD.

      -like legit????? ik bossuet is like an underrated character but: "his name is l'aigle but he spells it lesgle and his dad is called lesgueles and sometimes he calls himself legle but the other amis calls him bossuet BUT HE DOESNT HAVE A FIRST NAME GUYS ALL THE OTHERS EXCEPT JEHAN MARIUS AND GAVROCHE DONT HAVE FIRST NAMES" i told my friends

      -"WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MANY NAMES????????" asked meomi

      -"i. have no fucking idea."

      -i told them so pick someone other than bossuet just to see. one picked joly, another picked feuilly.

      -the ONLY person who didn't pick bossuet the first try was nabiha. she picked marius "im so straight i stalk girls and leave my friends to die which, in definition is defined as pontmercying" fuCKING pontmercy and i was so attacked. she picked marius because he was handsome girl i'm not saying i don't simp for all of them i'm just asking if you have ever seen eddie redmayne before. that face he made????? in the movie????????? HAVE YOU SEEN IT????????

      -she also picked jehan. "the softie poet? oh. okay. um"

      -my friends liked bossuet so much they started calling him bosSWAG les mis fandom opinion on this

      -meomi: "the bald guy's name is leg"

      -adni: "what no! his name is bosswag!"

      -me: "GUYS STOP THIS IS SO PAINFUL TO HEAR"

-AU concept: blind date au where valjean is a loner and cosette desperately wants him to marry. valjean falls in love w/ that hot police guy who keeps giving him parking tickets and he stalks hot police guy on his facebook lmfao. anyways javert is single and also a gay loner and he has this unspoken rivalry w/ the amis. cosette and marius set up a blind date for them and then they gay and fall in love

-"i/me/myself" by will wood has marius vibes.........it has nothing to do w/ the lyrics...............just marius vibes

       -maybe it would suit more enj........? or montparnasse (LOL THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER MENTIONED ANYONE FROM THE PATRON-MINETTE HA-)

-"believer" by imagine dragons is an exR song change my fucking mind

        -r wrote it for enj

        -"you break me down, you build me up" - how enj just ENDLESSLY critizies R but enj is legit the sole purpose on why taire is even there so

        -"pain, oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain"

        -"my life, my love, my drive it came from" - enj is R's love and life, and his drive to actually stay there w/ amis

        -"PAIN YOU MADE ME A YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER BELIEVER" *starts dancing*

        -"singing from heartache from the veins, taking my message to the veins, speaking my lesson from the brain" - he's talking about the amis in this one

        -"seeing the beauty through the pain" - enj is the "beauty"

        -"first things first imma say all the words inside my head i'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh, oooooooh" - the amis

        -"second things second don't you tell me what you think that i could be, i'm the one at the sail i'm the master of my sea, oh, ooooooh" - gavroche!!!!

        -"i was broken from a young age" - gavroche?????

        -"i was choking through the cloud, building my rain up in a cloud, falling like ashes to the ground, hoping my feelings, they would drown"

        -"last things last, by the grace of the fire and the flames, you're the face of the future the blood in my veins, oh, oooooh" - R singing this to enj before they get shot

-i'm gonna say it out loud: QUEERPLATONIC LES AMIS DE L'ABC

        -thank you *jumps off stage*

-tallest to shortest: bahorel, bossuet, combeferre, grantaire, courfeyrac, marius, enjolras, feuilly, joly, jehan

-cosette and enj are half siblings. they both don't know that.

         -they share a dad, tholomyes, ofc where they both got their blonde hair

         -basically: tholomyes had an affair w/ a woman before fantine. the woman got pregnant w/ enj and didn't know what to do. so when enj was born she left him w/ tholomyes and ran away to scotland. so for a bit tholomyes was stuck w/ enj and fantine adored tholomyes even more bc she thought he was a widowed single dad and felt sorry for him but still admired his commitment to enj

         -did i say commitment? sorry i meant to say abuse

         -a bit after cosette being born and abandoning fantine, tholomyes finally got sick of enj and threw him into an adoption centre. a wealthy couple adopted him bc he was sooooooo fuckin beautiful

         -they know they're half siblings in my modern au. and they spend most of their time talking about reasons why markiplier still should have made his onlyfans

-modern au: enj and jehan love shopping at H&M. enj loves the crop tops there and jehan likes to get all these cute little clippings for their braid

-modern au: every two weeks the amis have a nerf battle as a bonding exercise cause yes 

-AU concept: Daycare!AU where valjean loves kids and javert is that one grumpy caretaker that constantly looks like he's gonna kill someone that second and fantine is absolutely exhausted but still smh keeps chugging on. the amis, eponine, azelma, cosette and marius are all the kids at the daycare and gavroche is a cute lil baby who throws up a lot :)

-the amis went skinny dipping at a lake somewhere cause courf said "the weather was nice" but:

         -joly: "guys skinny dipping's bad it increases chances of parasites entering our bodies through our buttholes!!"

         -bahorel/R: "AHAHHAHAHAHJDJAHKDAJSHHASFKDJKFJ LOL HE JUST SAID BUTTHOLE JOLY SAID BUTTHOLE"

         -anyways marius had a gay panic so yeahhhhhhh

-this is a crack idea but: PATRON MINETTE AS BOYFRIENDS WEBTOON HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA I JUST BURNED A HOUSE DOWN

         -prep = montparnasse

         -nerd = babet

         -jock = gueulemer

         -goth = claquesous

         -please agree w/ me

-modern!au les amis blast the theme song of "thomas and friends" in their car and sing it the whole way thru

         -okay but: the amis are going gift shopping for gav at toys r us, and then, jehan sees a thomas toy w/ a rainbow paint job (it exists i've seen it multiple times at lotus's and toys r us) and they go "guys thomas is an ally!!!!!" and then R goes, "but what if thomas is actually gay"

         -"like.... thomas and percy????"

         -bossuet: "yknow i always thought james and gordon were gay for each other 100%"

         -combeferre: "there are kids here."

         -R: "so?"

         -the rest of the day they parade around toys r us while R blasts the "thomas and friends" theme song on his phone full blast and they all sing it.

         -they get kicked out

-did this quiz and got exR. I guess I'm an R kinnie now lmfao

Chapter 6: Shakespeare plays

Summary:

to gay or not to gay. that is the question.

as of 18/1/23 all my other shakespeare headcanons will be mashed in here w/ the hamlet ones!!

Chapter Text

-horatio of course was fucking CRUSHED after hamlet died. he was so sad he slept in hamlet's bedroom for like weeks and he cried himself to sleep while holding hamlet's crown

-crossover: y'know i think james vane and laertes would probably be good friends. like, they both have sisters whose horrible taste in blonde twinks lead them to suicide.

        -more dorian gray/hamlet crossovers: horatio and basil would be bffs as well bc y'know. being gay for blonde twinks

        -ITS ALWAYS THE BLONDE TWINKS *gestures to enjolras*

-uh because i'm a jerk yorick secretly molested hamlet as a kid and hamlet didn't tell bc he was scared (no he wasn't aware of how much power he had bc he's a prince)

-ophelia has some OCD. mild, but still there

        -she usually scolds laertes bc of his clothes always looking wonky or smth

-hamlet... wears corsets... because he can... and horatio thinks it looks cute...

-ros and guil shared a bed once

        -guil popped an awkward boner

        -"guil... you're..." *points down*

        -"what? oh. OH. UH-"

        -they shared the bed bc the other bedroom (rosencrantz's) was infested w/ rats smh after ros ofc did something stupid again and ros was still a pussy to step foot into his room

-i found out that rosencrantz's name means "rose wreath" and the name that guildenstern's name came from (i have no idea how to spell it bear w/ me) means "golden star" so:

-rosencrantz is fond of flowers, mostly roses and daffodils. he had a whole windowsill of them at wittenberg

        -he also likes to pick them and puts them in his bun (ros in r&g are dead is adorable you cant tell me otherwise his lil bun is cute and guil's half earring UGH)

        -guil thinks its fucking adorable he has a gay panic

-guildenstern likes stargazing. he once went stargazing on a hill w/ ros and ofc he had to pull the cheesiest line ever

        -"y'know guil, it actually does look really beautiful. i can understand why you like to do this"

        -"not as beautiful as you"

        -"what?"

        -"uhhhh nothing Ò///Ó"

-guil calls ros "rosie" <3 <3 <3

-AU concept: imaginary friend au where hamlet's parents are constantly arguing (don't worry claudius isn't there) and hamlet's got enough of that shit so he runs away to a forest near his neighbourhood and wishes he had a friend who understood what he was going through.

        -queue horatio

        -hamlet brings horatio home and introduces him to his parents

        -"uh who??????"

        -"right there! you can't see him?"

        -"no, hamlet." *gertrude whispers at hamlet sr* "oh ok. it's an imaginary friend is it?"

        -"no what???? no!!!!! he's real!!!!!!!!"

        -they both grew up together

        -hamlet falls in love w/ horatio. he confesses at wittenberg and they have sex

        -turns out horatio was just a imaginary friend to cope. gets really angsty and hamlet commits suicide lmfao

              -kind of inspired by a bbc sherlock au i saw on deviantart where sherlock is john's imaginary friend and the hamlet tv trope ymmv page where on the "alternative character interpretation" it says that there's a possibility horatio is just hamlet's imaginary friend

              -*has the urge to write all of it down but doesn't have the time and energy*

-why are there so many antonios *sob*

        -AND TWO SEBASTIANS TO GO W/ THOSE ANTONIOS

        -i don't care what you think, the tempest antonio, twelfth night antonio and merchant of venice antonio are all the same person you can't change my mind

        -oh and twelfth night sebastian and the tempest sebastian are also the same person

        -okay okay just going for possibility here: what if when shakespeare wrote the tempest he decided to just pick antonio and sebastian out from twelfth night and put them in the tempest as background characters just for the fun of it

Chapter 7: The Invisible Man

Summary:

i want to stroke griffin's soft lush white hair and then pull it

Chapter Text

-marvel found the invisible cat that griffin tested on at the beginning of the book. he still hasn't decided on a name yet, tho

-in my hc griffin doesn't really die. he sets one of his brothers up (my hc is that he has like, six brothers and he's the youngest). he just kinda slipped the potion into his bro's food and he turned invisible. they talked abt it a bit and his brother agreed to help him. so when the brother died and became visible (who apparently does not have albinism) kemp was so fuckin worried

     -"wait. WAIT THATS NOT GRIFFIN. FUCK. WHAT"

     -and he completely ignored adye dying in the corner

     -yeah if you watched invisible man 2020 yeah the "setting your brother up bc youre a shitbag" is inspired by the movie yeah

     -he ran away to paris

     -EVERYONE HAS TO MOVE TO PARIS SO THAT MY AU WORKS

-so following griffin not actually dying he managed to find a cure, but not his whole body was un-invisible-d. his arms. only his arms are still invisible. but he's fine w/ that

-adye... is.... a cat dad

      -he was so fucking mad at griffin when he found out abt the invisible cat

      -like so mad

      -he thought it was a crime against humanity/cats

      -EVERYONE LOVES CATS

-marvel is trans and his dads (kemp and griffin) and his granddad (adye) support and love him no matter what

-kemp knows how to dance and taught griffin how to dance for their school prom

      -i mean the girl dumped griffin so he ended up dancing w/ kemp anyways

Chapter 8: Kidnapped/Catriona

Summary:

i will REFUSE to believe that alan is short lil dude

Chapter Text

-catriona is the legit the only female character and the only one with common sense

       -"ALAN WHAT DID YOU DO"

       -"there was an infection on riach's arm... i.... i amputated him"

       -"DONT YOU KNOW DOCTORS EXIST??????"

       -"riach is a doctor. he said 'amputate me daddy'"

       -"im sorry what?"

-i think alan and catriona would kinda have some sort of rivalry over david. overprotective dad disapproves of tinder girlfriend

-AU concept: modern au where the red fox who's a celebrity youtuber or smth is killed and alan gets the blame bc they were rivals. he tries to stowaway on a cargo ship but gets on the covenant smh instead. meets david. teaches him abt drugs. david meets catriona on tinder

       -hoseason, riach and shuan in a poly relationship because yes

       -they're also ransome's dads

       -ransome wears crocs shuan definitely gets ransome crocs

-i think. that the love triangle between ebenezer, alexander and grace should be explored more. what if ebenezer went as far as attempted murder?

       -him and alex didn't talk to each other for a long time after that

       -ofc he refused to come to his wedding

       -and see david's birth

-ransome's dad was financially insecure and wasn't fit to take care of ransome, so he set his son on a boat and told him that he was sending him to "treasure island" (YES OTHER RLS REFERENCES LETS GOOO) and ransome happily agreed. but his dad put this letter in ransome's bag and told him to give it to anyone who found him.

      -so yeah he left a six year old child on a boat in the middle of the ocean alone cuz yeah

      -the covenant ship crew found him

      -"oh shit guys we gotta take care of this kid"

      -"we're not fit to take care of him, hoseas- SHUAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

      -shuan casually trying to throw ransome overboard: "uh nothing"

      -so yeah they were attached to him for a bit and ransome even started calling shuan "dad".

      -which made ransome's death in the book all the more sadder cause shuan was so guilty he smiled when alan pierced him with his sword

-HOSEASON RIACH AND SHUAN ARE NOW CALLED THE COVENANT SHIP TRIO CAUSE I CAN

-*gasps* asexual!hoseason

       -transmasc shuan????

       -bisexual queen alan breck because yes

-alan is the tall one of the duo

       -no i dont take criticism i dont give a FUCK what canon says

-you guysssss the covenant trio radiate "why is it when something happens it's always you three?" energy WHY ARENT THEY GETTING MORE ATTENTION????????? i will proceed to give them shitloads of modern au headcanons i thought of while taking a shit in my school's weird smelling bathroom. oh and also ransome

-hoseason in the book being tough and a big bad guy but modern au he's just mostly silent and shy most of the time

      -(the trio and ransome getting mcdonalds) riach: "uh ok. nuggets, fish o fillet... elias wdyw"

      -"*barely audible whisper*"

      -"what?"

      -*another barely audible whisper*

      -"elias i need you to fucking speak up i cANT FUCKING HEA-"

      -"I WANT A FUCKING BIG MAC FOR GOD'S FUCKING SAKE"

      -everyone stares at them

      -"mr shuan why is everybody staring at us????"

      -"because, ransome my child, somebody yelled their menu preference too loud"

      -hoseason just blinking: uh

-modern!au alan probably mockingly asks the trio about the "gay agenda". they say that riach is the gay agenda.

-modern!au shuan is divorced cause his wife in the book found out he was trans :skull:

-david describing the roundhouse in kidnapped: "The roundhouse, for which I was bound, and where I was now to sleep and serve, [...] Inside were a fixed table and bench, and two births [a bunk on a ship/train/etc], one for the captain and the other for the two mates, turn and turn about."

       -rls quickly writing "turn and turn about": no homo

       -yeah i know it said "turn and turn about" but what if shuan and riach actually did sleep in the same bed/berth/whatever and hoseason's asexual ass doesn't even know how to cuddle so he just sleeps in a different berth. oh and it probs can't fit all three of them.

       -YES it can fit both shuan and riach. riach just needs to sit in shuan's lap and there'll be stretching space

-david, lying on the bed chained, listening to hoseason and riach's argument on letting david go upstairs or not in chapter 7: these bitches gay. good for them, good for them.

       -david also trying to sleep in the corner of the roundhouse listening to a drunk riach flirt w/ hoseason and drunk shuan getting extremely jealous and threatening him w/ a knife: goD THESE BITCHES SO GAY UGH
