General DNW: Please avoid nonconsensual sexual contact and on page child abuse.
General Likes: Slice of Life, Recovery, Post Canon. Neurodiverse/Disabled/Queer folks worked into the worldbuilding (POV characters are welcome if thats where your muse takes you). Gender as a social concept (this can include discussions of sex related expectations inherent to a persons position in the narrative, trans headcanons, gender bending, A/B/O, etc)
General Mixed Bag: PWPs, Complete AUs,
So my other genre love besides slice of life is horror. And this series just hit the soft spots. So many female characters and avoiding child possession which is a major trigger for me.
Would love to see a situation where Lenore and Morella get away ahead of the Fall. Particularly if there is a deal loophole that let's Lenore live.
Juno, oh Juno. As a fellow chronic pain haver her arc was just *chefs kiss* I'd love some of her and Morellas lives post series. Two women recovering both in body and from getting tangled up with monster husbands.
Arthur Pym I love me a ruthless character. Not cruel necessarily, but definitely playing by their own rules and morality. Arthur sees Roderick very differently than even his kids do. As a good man, but still a man. Not the near king that the kids see. He's set his whole life trying not to be leveraged, but still supporting and acting as Roderick's shadow, how does he square that with himself. And how does that affect his relationship to the various kids and other survivors after the end?
Long shot prompt:

There is so much interesting possibilities for world building the game never really goes into. I mostly play the older maps so a focus on those would be fun.
Imposter and or / Crewmate. So yeah some monster fucking def happens in this world. No matter how human or inhuman you are making the crewmates. Just how do you be friends or lovers with someone who has so much different cultural background and maybe wants to eat you? So many possible ways to play this.
Part of the fun is playing multiple imposter runs. Where players have different play styles while still accomplishing similar goals. May lean more heavily horror and imposter culture based but also would love something absurd with the fact some are obviously monsters and others are just some dude with a knife.
Long shot prompt: I love that the fandom has basically gone tiny babies that can be adopted about the sprites. Just anything about trying to raise tiny creatures possibly of another species is luv.

SQs perfect man is a buff, master fighter with an unreadable face and you expect me to believe LQ wasn't originally written as a similar fantasy by our squirrelly author? Mobie Jun meeting another person who likes to go hunting and bring back trophies with while SQ gets another person to protect from anything more sneaky than megafauna.
Shang Qinghua and Mobie-Jun just ALL the cultural confusion and weird dynamics of I created a guy based around my kinks but also he has so much more power than me in the current situation. But also I could poisin him or push him into a deadly wife plot without even trying.
Two transmigrators who love to creatively trip each other into mud puddles but will murder anybody who looks at the other wrong. And their two buff boyfriends who don't really get it but are also the main man and loyal right hand in a culture where fighting each other is a sign of affection. And if that leads to some urge to bone so be it.
Long shot prompt: SY and SQ as chaos gremlins using their shared scheming and knowledge to short circuit the system and manage to keep from having to die a gazillion times. While dragging their lover(s) into increasingly unhinged situations they are convinced are perfectly normal.

So yeah this movie took me by all the tropey soft spots and shook. It's been years since I had a car movie that hit like this. I went into it with minimal hopes since we have had so many car movies as a vehicle for a spy thriller lately.
Sonny as the unchanging traveler. Asshole but working to stay on the right side of the line where he's not doing intentional harm.
Ruben as one of the oldest friends who's survived the years long periods of Sonny's breakdowns and comebacks. Needing a return favor but also offering another comeback. Protective but also an undercurrent of his own issues leaving the sport and past rivalry with Sonny.
Just give me an hour of them in random hole in the wall eateries. The cynic and the optimist. With some Cinderella stuff thrown in. And various intersections with ApexGP who are still a large part of Rubens life even if Sonny is trying to move on.
Kate! She's soooo pretty and her accent and how well she knows herself. And deserves all the pretty people she wants. Sonny as her cocky bad idea. But also kinda freeing that's he is enough of a selfcontained ass that he wouldn't expect her to change for him. Or do something she didn't want like her ex did.
If you like Poly and relational negotiations. The three of them trying to sort out how it is all going to work. Friends with benefits only during the off season. Or mostly open but after some adrenaline a fun time. Or something else???
Long shot prompt: Butch woman Sonny who came up in the racing world when that was beyond impossible and all the gendered bs amplifying what it means to be a lone wolf racer as a woman. Two women kissing edition or your best friend who does cinderella with cars (or both) all solid options.

The three of them are like Main Characters from three different mystery series all in one go. All competent but not necessarily built for the situations they keep finding themselves in. Make their interactions so much fun.
Wang Zhi just making direct eye contact while tripping Tang Fan...right into Sui Zhou bridal carry.
Just the reality of being some of the most important people in each others lives while also having their duty and position in society being their primary purpose
Sui Zhou doing the cinderella treatment for Tang Fan. While Tang fan rescues him from being alone. Always willing to do what it takes to come for him and building a nontraditional family to give additional support so its not just the we got together and lost sight of everything else.
Long shot prompt: Modern food themed cozy mystery. Just all the food related hints and ridiculous Tang Fan hijinks. Getting pulled out of the trouble by some combination of the other two.

Fucked up with weird morals tough as nails Cora taking care of his tiny dramatic kid. Be still my heart. I'd love fixit for Cora lives. Something pre Sabaody. Building the Hearts and then luring each other in like a colony of feral cat.
Zoro and Luffy. Equally good platonic or romantic. Just two idiots in love. And Zoro being a foundation stone of loyalty as first mate launchpad for Luffys nonsense and anchor back to the world. If you want to play with less traditional relationships I love them trying to build a relationship despite neither of them really understanding "normal" relationships.
Law/Luffy/Zoro Two messed up kids from background that got them hunted by the World Government. Who built their own families of crew. Friendly rivals to lovers mixed with Sunshine one and Thunderstorm one means all kinds of fun dynamics. And But also I'm so poly and just the WHOLE Wano arc final fight and the two sword boys. And Zoro and Laws ability to lock on and focus on a goal.
Long shot prompt: Sword ace Zoro as a part of Law and Luffies squishier romantic relationship. Is one of my fave Dynamics as you can probably tell from other fandoms.

I love the Iron triangle and am always up for adventures or days hanging around eating and caring for each other. Before, during, or after Series. Also seeing them draft prickly hedgehog Liu Sang is always fun.
Hei Xia Zi all the sass and so uncle he can't stop collecting godsons. While Xie Yuchen sasses him right back and keeps trying to get him to take care of himself too.
HX and XY in an established relationship luring Liu Sang in like a feral cat. Loving every scratch of his sharp tongue and the fact that unlike most of their friends group he has self presentation instinct. Also XY has SUCH a competency kink.
