The Shape Of Ideas

Slapstick romance

Domino and Adam are meant to be a toxic couple but in a very silly and unserious way. I did not expect people to accuse me endorsing abuse.

interesting

funny skeletons are the peak of internet humor

October can’t come soon enough

Why is it that the first thing I thought at the sight of this was "Is that an Underland Chronicles reference?"

how many angry female cows could you fight bare handed do you think

Cows? Those big ones? Realistically probably about 400 before I'd start breaking a sweat.

Beginning of session:

Hand out these leaflets, we're doing some campaigning

End of session:

Local robotic crusader fights 2 wendigos, a vampire and possessed friend

Ok, so chances are none of you know a damn thing about JJK, but I started writing this fic on a whim, so I may as well tell you all about it:

Gregor as a jujutsu sorcerer. After the Underland, his parents just decided to get the hell away from that place that stole away their kids and shoved them into some war by moving to Japan. And then their son gets dragged into the world of Jujutsu sorcery, which adds an interesting parallel into the mix.

Not sure if I'll give him a technique or not, but I kinda like the idea of him just going at all the curses Japan has to offer with nothing but his skill with a sword and cursed energy manipulation. BUT what I could also do is give him some kind of curse bond, like Ares or maybe even the Bane, like how Yuta fights alongside Rika.

I'm honestly thinking of sending him to the Kyoto school to even out the scoreboard, as a rager with cursed energy on their side could start to even things out, along with Mechamaru and Todo. He could also act as opposition to the higher ups and Principal Gakuganji, though I wouldn't be surprised if he got scouted by Gojo and taken to Tokyo, where Kusakabe could've helped train him (although Kusakabe seems to have taught Miwa so it's not really a deal breaker if Gregor goes to Kyoto).

I also have some ideas about him finding a curse on accident at first, then as he fights it he ends up channeling cursed energy through his rage, which allows him to kill it, before a sorcerer and/or a window show up, as they intended to kill it before he showed up, which leads to him getting enrolled.

So yeah. Came out a bit longer than intended, and most of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but what do you guys think? Any other ideas? Thinking of calling it "The Cursed Warrior", but I might choose another name if I find or come up with a better one.

Maybe I am just overreacting. Maybe it is just British weather. But I just can't shake this feeling of doubt and concern. The weather has been getting more and more extreme each year too. Sure, I've always known it was important and dangerous, but I've never felt this way about climate change before, and it's starting to concern me.

Okay, so, here me out:

Gregor Campbell as Spider-Man, or Spider-Man's apprentice/successor.

Like, Peter is getting really old, and some of his wall-sticking ability is slipping. So he adds some assistance for that stuff in his suit. Then, later, Gregor comes against him fighting some villain, and he's losing untill Gregor jumps in and starts beating the shit out of them.

His rager thing goes out of control, one of them is about to die, but Peter stops him at the last moment, and they leave before the police arrive. Some words of advice later, "with great power comes great responsibility", and he leaves, but they keep on running into each other, and eventually, Gregor becomes his apprentice, because Peter is old as fuck, and wants to retire, while Gregor is still looking for purpose after leaving the Underland, and thinks this could be it

Would need to screw around with the timeline a bit, but I think it could be cool. Thoughts?
