things to consider for immortal aus where the crew discovered their immorality:

before they met:

  • who died first, and where?
  • what did everyone think about their immortality when they first discovered it? were they scared? relieved? in disbelief?
  • what did they do the years between their discovery and the current times?
  • how did everyone find one another?
  • how did people find out about each other’s immortality?
  • who’s the newest to life as an immortal? how do they handle it?
  • the same question goes for the oldest. how much do they know? how much have they witnessed? how much do they remember?

after they met:

  • it’s the first death in the crew, and the character comes back to life. how do they react? how does everyone else react?
  • do they write it off as a miracle and go about business until they die again and know that something weird is up?
  • do they try to test the immortality?
  • are they afraid that there’s eventually, one day, going to be a day where someone won’t come back?
  • how does the crew react when the second one turns out to be immortal? then the third? and so on and so forth?

and finally…

there’s always some dumb idiot bastard who finds out they’re immortal by doing some dumb shit. who is it?

Obi-Wan/Rex, Immortal AU (either immortal or Immortal, depending on if you’re familiar enough with Highlander to want to try to work that into the GFFA)

(last one for the horrible cliche meme)

I have a very shaky grasp on Highlander, so this is prolly a bit more generic, sorry. ^_^;;

under the cut, content warnings for: injury, kind-of-death, and slavery because the Zygerria episodes can be way too much fun to play with.

I love the concept of ancient immortal beings being so completely done with life and all its bullshit that they just don’t care about anything anymore. Like, they could fuck you up a thousand times over but they’re more interested in seeing if they could drive backwards while making a margarita to care

@morgynleri – relevant to your interests, possibly?

*cackles* There are a couple immortal beings I can think of that might try that, just because.

I love these memes about immortal characters getting grumpy over how wrong the history books are, because they’re presuming that the immortal in question:

a. was consistently in the right place the right time to have an inside perspective on what was going on;

b. was actually paying attention;

c. understood what they were looking at; and

d. remembers the details after decades or centuries.

I can’t help but imagine that if I was immortal, reading the history books would be less “wrong, wrong, wrong” and more “oh, so that’s what that was all about”.

I’ve been just watching Revelation 6:8, rather than pausing to liveblog stuff from it. And considering.

I have a piece from six years ago that was an unfinished HLH shortcuts piece, and I think I may see about figuring out where I was going with it to finish it, beyond introducing two Immortals beyond the Horsemen into the equation, and removing Cassandra. And if HLH happens again this year (and I have no reason to think it won’t), I can see if the piece either fits what the person I’m writing for would enjoy, or, if not, I might offer it up as a gift to the whole group.

Or I just finish it and post it.

Either way, I think I’m going to enjoy figuring out where it’s going, and how to make it work, and just how it’s going to change the balance of the world. And also, what role Dracula plays (he being one of the two Immortals who are brought into this), as he’s had less a role so far than the other Immortal.

(I may take the other one I have with Dracula and see how I might combine the two. Or at least incorporate the parts from the other one into this one, that don’t contradict what I already have.)

Honestly in all of these stories these poetic white men who somehow end up immortal get so bored and miserable because they just sit in their mansion all day doing whatever it is they need to do in order to sustain their immortality and then they just throw lavish parties and organize orgies or whatever and then they’re like “why am I sad I eat three course meals and have at least one orgy daily what MORE could I POSSIBLY need??”

Like???? Damn go for a walk. Do you even KNOW your neighbors? Get a dog and take it to the park. Set up an elaborate fish tank. Go skiing like you’ve been alive for 200 years and you’ve spent 180 of it in your house looking at paintings and drinking wine with other rich assholes no wonder ur life sucks my man.

Buy a canoe.

Are you–are you SURE it was just Dorian?  Because I thought a lot about Highlander version. 2′s moping for 6 television seasons.

… There’s reasons I don’t like That Annoying Twit Duncan MacLeod. Everyone else is either forgettable or fun, but him. *quietly sits on the urge to strangle a character from a show that ended twenty years ago*

I know, right? Thank god for Methos, Amanda, and Richie (and Joe!). They saved that show from being Duncan’s 90s angst blog.

So. Much.

Other than the Horsemen episodes (OMG, people change, and sometimes people you love aren’t always nice, and this makes me So. Mad…. *thwaps Duncan with a heavy stick* People change. People get better, deal with it, you over-honorable twit.), my favorite episodes are the two without Duncan anywhere near them in the 6th season.

Two of Hearts (which is where I get my “Susan Ivanova is Immortal, and just the latest lifetime of Katherine” headcanon), and whatever the hell the other one was called which was the Joe-and-Methos show. I would have loved more of a show like that. Joe and Methos snarking at each other, having adventures, slice-of-life sort of thing.

(Maybe too, a chance to see them develop Amy, Joe’s daughter into a primary character, and center the whole thing on the Watchers, instead of the Immortals? And thus have a show with a disabled protagonist and a female protagonist, and ok, still very white, but dude, it was the 90s, and they could have used that as a point to make it even better. *sighs*)
