London's a popular place to set a story! It's often imagined as sexy, cool, and suave. Whilst this is sometimes true, the thing that it predominantly is, is absolutely and entirely chaotic! So here are some aspects that you may not know about:
-Public transport is absolutely crucial to the infrastructure! Few people drive in London because of how well connected it is, and bus stops and train stations are often used as meeting points or details in directions.
-There's a LOT of crime, like, a lot. All cities have it, but London has a lot of variety. Stabbings are incredibly common (to the extent where it becomes a bit of a joke), almost everyone has a story where they've found or seen a dead body, and there are many money laundering/drug den fronts under the guise of highstreet shops (they're not well hidden).
-Despite it's chaos there's a strong code of etiquette most people hold themselves too. Some are actual rules (stand on the right side of escalators, don't queue jump) but some are simply social expectations (don't stop in the middle of the pavement, keep your bags close to your body, don't take up multiple seats.)
-A lot of tourists to the city are COMPLETELY FERAL and widely hated. They'll stand in the middle of the road, block up bridges, swing around cameras and selfie sticks in busy places, and completely ignore the social standards of polite society. People Do Not Like This. (also American tourists have a tendancy to just randomly start conversation with people? It's a bit weird and generally not done but it's not strictly a bad thing.)
-Rush hour is INSANE. We're talking almost static traffic, trains so packed that you're pressed into people on every side, buses that are so full they can't stop to let more people on. Some days it's better some days it's worse, but if you can avoid travelling at those times YOU DO.
-There are a lot of scam artists on the streets. Most major cities have these, they suck, they're aggressive, and they'll take your money! Some give you flowers and then force you to pay, some take photos of you and boost up the price to get them, there's always new ones, they're relentless, and you've gotta tell them to fuck off.
-Black cabs are not at all popular for normal people! They cater to tourists, rich people, and old people. They're great, the cab drivers are hard working and very knowledgeable, but they're also very expensive. Awful as it is, uber's cheaper if you're desperate, but buses go everywhere so it's just not really worth it.
Ever since I saw theories going around about how Prime uploaded a part of himself/his consciousness into Rick's mind when their cybernetics connected I can't stop thinking about it. If anything it's such a good concept for an angsty AU. Prime appears like a ghost to Rick, nobody else can see him nor hear him talk. Rick doesn't know how to get rid of him, he tried digging in his own head, swapping out parts of his cybernetic enhancements, but he can't figure out just HOW Prime did this and it's driving him insane. He tries to ignore him, for his own sanity, but it's impossible.
He sees Prime standing by the window as the family is having dinner. He sees him sitting on the counter of the garage, whistling to himself as Rick tries to busy his mind by tinkering with some new invention. He sees Prime lounging in the back of the ship as he takes Morty on another adventure. As much as he tries to pretend that he's not there, it's all he can think of. Prime is chatty, of course. He wants to strike conversation with Rick all the time, he offers his (very unwanted) opinions on everything Rick is doing, mocks him when things don't go right during his adventures. The family (Morty most of all) would gradually notice that something is wrong with Rick - he keeps staring at empty points in space, glaring and muttering to himself. Sometimes he flinches or jumps at seemingly nothing, and his mood is getting worse by the day.
I'm just so curious about how Rick's and Prime's interactions would go in a scenario like this - they can't hurt each other, they just have to coexist now.
Might be a bit biased but- Stan's hot, like cmon
Gravity falls has tons of great aus :)
