May's Theme

[passingmod.livejournal.com]

Regardless of potential excitingness, May's theme is Through the Looking Glass by a very narrow margin! The vote was incredibly split this time, so it'll be interesting to see what happens next month. :)

Go crazy with your AUs, guys! And remember to use this post to plot if you'd like to!

Oh, hey, a new theme!

So, I have two ideas for Whitlea: one where she and N switch places (meaning, she is the one being manipulated by Ghetsis and N is the one who stops Team Plasma's plans) and one where she...ah, didn't win when it counted. I'm leaning more towards the "Leader of Team Plasma" scenario.

I am, however, open to more ideas!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I like the first one, personally. XD

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but there's one problem with it: How do I keep Whitlea recognizable while in N's role? After all, the guy was raised to hate all people for abusing Pokemon, something I can't see Whitlea doing. She's little miss "Everyone has a chance", after all.

And there's still the part where I have to make up a backstory for Team Plasma!Whitlea (who I will call W from here on out). Of course, in canon, N and Ghetsis are implied to not be so related to each other, but I need more details beyond just an implication. Any ideas?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

She could be raised with it and still fight against it. She could still have some of the other not-as-nice attitudes while retaining her love of pokemon.

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea!

Now, as for the backstory, I've worked out that in this AU, W, who was raised by Ghetsis, was kidnapped at a young age after something happened to some of the other kids he tried to raise. One of said kids was N, who was taken in either by Whitlea's mother or maybe even Professor Juniper and raised in Nuvema Town.

...Does it work out?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I think so! But admittedly, I don't really know the canon. So I'm pretty much saying it sounds good because I like the idea of somewhat switching his and Whitlea's situations, and seeing how Whitlea turns out.

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's interesting, which is why I considered it in the first place. It would give me a break from playing little miss ball of sunshine and friendship for once, that's for sure.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Fell says she likes non-friendship Whitlea better. :sagenod: XD

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Whitlea herself is probably going to throw a brick at me or something. I don't know, bricks and leeks seem to be the weapon of choice among my muses these days for when I screw them over. /sigh what is my life

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

... leeks?

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Miku's fault.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

What'd the leeks ever do to her? D:

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. She loves leeks. Uses them as a weapon, even.

She's taught everyone else in my head. Trust me, you do not want a singing robot with mad leek skillz for a muse. Those things are dangerous.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

So they all know leek-fu?

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Yep. All of them.

And brick-fu, too.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Fell will see canon. Specifically, she will see the end: the world destroyed by Usagi/the princess again... but Usagi bringing it back. It's the last part that's key; she'll realize every horrible thing she's done in the name of preventing things was needless.

This will be pretty earth-shaking for her. The issue I'm having is how exactly to work it into something easy for others to come into. I might have her actual post related to it be reacting to it as she tries to cope with the idea, rather than set at the scene. Because she hasn't had a good breakdown in awhile.

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

How about something like a literal mirror? As in, she sees what would've happened had Usagi been spared through a mirror, or if you'd prefer, a hall of mirrors.

Of course that's probably not what you meant but pfft, that's all I can think of right now.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

See, I've pondered pulling something like the canon mirror selves as well... So I wouldn't want to do both. /ponder

I've considered the empty world once Usagi wakes up after it's destroyed, up to Usagi bringing it back... but it seems like it'd be too watching-a-movie-ish.

And I've considered Fell freaking out somewhere like the scene where she has the memory flashbacks.

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

I keep putting off watching PGSM, but here's my two cents: maybe she sees it as a ghost, an invisible, intangible observer that can't affect the events no matter how hard she tries.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I don't mind how Fell will see things so much as "Let's say Whitlea comes to this post. What will there be for Whitlea to do?"

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Ahh. At one point memory flashbacks leak through, and she starts getting really panicky - short breaths, almost crying, painful headache, etc.

I don't mind how Fell will see things so much as "Let's say Whitlea comes to this post. What will there be for Whitlea to do?"

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

Whitlea? Oh, boy, she'd probably try to snap Ami out of it somehow. Because that is what friends do for each other.

If I decide to post with W, though, expect a lot of awkward, because she was raised around Pokemon, man. What is being social.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

So you think it'd be OK? It wouldn't be boring for other people? Seeing the scene then probably Fell panicking?

.... a wild Whitlea approaches. XD

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

It's okay with me, if anything.

... what will Fell do?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Depends on exactly what Whitlea does, really. XD

Lulz, I have this mental image of her trying to teach wild!Whitlea manners. XD

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

She'll snap her out of it somehow, I swear.

And I have this image of W going "Wait what are you talking about?" and hilariously failing at manners.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Oh I meant, what Fell would do with wild!Whitlea depends on what Whitlea does exactly. XD Fell for Fell's plot will pretty much... collapse for a bit.

We eat with a fork, Wildlea. Or chopsticks.

And I need sleep. zzzz nini!

[whitleas.livejournal.com]

FFFF Sorry!

Isn't it easier to just scoop it into your hands and eat it out of there?

Night!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

No. It's not. And we drink from nice glasses.

nini! /runs for real

8D I was hoping for this theme. /eyes some icons not yet uploaded.

I just... have to pick what AU/s I'll do for him, because I don't wanna break him even more with the whole X-blade thing just yet.... Yet.

I'll either go with a Ven-itas one or.. something. IDK. /pokes muses for ideas.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

If you wanted to still do something that could break him, you could use the fact it's a dream as your out: He can take it seriously or brush it off as just a dream, or whatever you want.

Our muses can trade comfies? Sorta? XD
