my favourite scene from maigu ridge
barista au but its all malice
thank u to freya (@kaeyafucker420 on twitter) for the dialogue to my silly idea
Jake to Marc: Anything you can do, I can do better~
Jake to Steven: Anything you can do, good job. I'm so proud of you.
steven, staring down an ancient powerful deity capable of miracles: you OWE US and you WILL PAY
marc, very decidedly not fronting rn:
(moon knight episode 5 spoilers!!)
thinking about how marc spector created steven grant to live the life he never got to live, in a cozy loft with books on subjects he loves and with a little goldfish that marc replaces, thinking his mother loved him. thinking about marc spector protecting steven so fiercely he'd take all the measures to ensure steven never finds out about him (re-taping the doors, smoothing out the sand, renting a small space to keep his things), and when that fails, begging steven to stop searching for his own safety.
thinking about marc spector never once getting angry with steven for being innocent, or ruining his plans, even when they get skewered in cairo. when steven inevitably stumbles into danger it's never you idiot, what have you done? and instead it's always give me the body, steven, and i'll keep us safe. trust me. we're going to be alright.
thinking about marc spector growing up alone, growing up almost unloved, growing up bitter and sad and angry and thinking it was all his fault. thinking about marc spector making a promise to himself, ensuring steven never felt that way. thinking about marc spector desperately trying to hold steven back from seeing his traumatic memories, because even then, even when his life is at stake, he doesn't want steven to know the truth because it might hurt too much to bear.
thinking about how marc spector loves steven grant.
thinking about steven grant growing up afraid of his 'sleeping disorder', anxiety settling deep in his bones, terrified of nightmares even as an adult. thinking about how steven grant thought he was going insane when he started figuring out the truth. thinking about how steven grant must've been scared of marc, or at least apprehensive, and thinking about how marc (despite his stoic facade) probably felt that like a blow to the chest—because not only was it one more person who reminded him he was unloved, but it was the person he prioritized most, over his father, even over layla.
thinking about how, despite everything, despite the chaos and bloodshed and unwelcome revelations, despite how it seemed at first that steven would've loved nothing more to be rid of marc, when they finally met each other it was with not even a moment of hesitation that they hugged, arms wrapped tightly around each other, holding on with a sort of awe and desperation.
thinking about steven, the man who greets animals like friends and talks to his goldfish and would risk his life to avoid bloodshed, gripping the wooden bat in his hand and going to fucking town on the souls because marc was in danger.
thinking about steven seeing marc about to be thrown overboard and launching himself at the souls without a second thought, even though he knows full well what happens if he falls in the duat. steven, who until a few days ago was just a history nerd and a gift shop worker, who got faint at the sight of blood and would throw a gun rather than fire it—steven fucking grant, sacrificing his life and soul to an eternity of torment for marc without hesitation.
thinking about how steven grant loved marc spector.
Having rewatched Pirates of the Carribean several times, I have noticed something interesting. Will Turner is often the only survivor of massive shipwrecks, like the one that killed his mother or the one with the kraken. Other times even when hes alone he survives drowning in ways he really has no right to, like the destruction of the Interceptor. He just often conveniently finds a perfect sized piece of driftwood or something. Remember what Calypso said? About him having a “touch of destiny?” I think that the sea could never kill him, will always cradle him and protect him, because all along he was destined to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman. The sea could no more kill him than a human could cut off their own arm.

concept: din shows up on tatooine and challenges boba fett to a game of like rock paper scissors or something without explanation and boba just is like ok sure I guess ?? and then boba wins and din chucks the darksaber at him and books it
Sherlock Holmes modern adaptation but the main characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Irene Adler, and maybe even Lestrade) are all vampires and they’ve just been doing their thing since the time period of the original books
Irene gets to be from New Jersey like she is in canon and she’ll occasionally show up and help Sherlock with a case but they don’t ever date or hook up or anything
OR… Lestrade isn’t a vampire, but there’s been generations of Lestrades, and they all have to deal with this guy
the latest one isn’t even a cop she works nights at the 7-11 and Sherlock keeps coming in at 2am to slam two gallons of Monster Energy and ask her what what the fuck an “amogus” is (it’s case related) and tell her how much better she is at lateral thinking than her tragically straightforward ancestor and also is her girlfriend still going to school to be a defense attorney, how’s she handling the workload
okay, but who turned them and when? bc there is a lot of delicious angst and goofiness to be exlored if say:
irene has kids before being turned and is invested in her descendants
john was already with mary and has to see her age and pass
mrs. hudson is the vampire queen
the lestrades are like. the opposite of the vanhelsings. generational disinterest in vampires, but the holmes enclave keeps roping them back in.
1) Irene adopts and yes she is The Cool Grandma for generations of children forevermore
2) Mary is also a vampire, she got turned at the same time as John, she and Sherlock have Wine Wednesdays every third Saturday of the month
3) Mrs. Hudson is immortal but she’s not a vampire and nobody can figure out what her deal is
4) absolutely 100% correct
whenever anybody asks how they got turned the response is something along the lines of “that was like. Over five years ago. How do you expect me to even remember that.” or “idk man I just woke up like this” or “got bitten by a mosquito on a case” and it’s never the same twice
Yes the Sherlock Holmes books exist and whenever they’re brought up Watson gets very upset that this dude stole his writing and considers him his archnemesis despite the fact that Doyle is a totally normal human and dead as hell
imagine Watson’s frothing rage at the Doyle estate insisting Holmes can never be shown having emotions. like he didn’t personally watch Sherlock weep during the moon landing.
Holmes and Watson are embroiled in a legal battle against the Doyle estate and have been for almost 100 angry, angry years
this is only ever mentioned in passing for comedic effect
Okay, but consider The Problem (Aka Sherlock Holmes) doesn’t hit ALL The Lestrades, only those that Holmes can rightfully refer to as “Inspector Lestrade”. Obviously, police inspectors and detectives are affected by The Problem (as family lore refers to Holmes) but, like, subsequent generations have learned how loose the definition is. Our latest Lestrade, let’s call her Billie, gets called up by her boss one day, and her boss is like “hey, Corporate says somebody at the store needs to know about health regulations and stuff. If you take a couple night classes and get this certification, we’ll give you a bonus on your next paycheck, and one of your jobs will be to sign off that we don’t have mold everywhere”. And Billie is like “Sure, sound good, whatever” and goes to the night classes and takes the test at the end and the tired bureaucrat who runs the course is like “Okay, congratulations, you’re now a Certified Health And Hygiene Inspector (Class D-Small Retail Food Storage and Service)” And Billie just freezes and is like “Ummmm, is it possible to get something different? Maybe I can be a Health and Hygine Expert? And the bureaucrat is like “No, you passed the test, you’re now a Certified Health and Hygiene Inspector (Class D- Small Retail Food Storage and Service)” And Billie is just SWEATING as she leaves the building, because she knows about The Problem, but maybe this wouldn’t count? Like, it’s not like she works for the government or anything. It’s just a dumb piece of paper that says she’s allowed to fill out other dumb pieces of paper. That can’t count. It’s not like her JOB changed or anything. But, as soon as she steps out into the night and makes her way to the Bus stop, a slim figure steps out of the shadows and falls into step next to her. “Ah, Inspector Lestrade, congratulations on the promotion. I have a few questions for you about-” And Health And Hygiene Inspector (Class D- Small Retail Food Storage and Service) Billie Lestrade repeats the three words that have become motto and mantra for her family. “Go Away Holmes”.
Just a Super and a Luthor being married happily ever after.
