Thursday: Out of Context

[argentum-ls.livejournal.com]

Happy Thursday, everyone! Back when I signed up to host (last September), I selected the theme for today, and now I have no idea what I meant. This strikes me as ironically appropriate since today's theme is out of context. Prompts can focus on conversations or actions that are misunderstood, stories about events that "you just had to be there for," or, well, any other creative way you would like to interpret this theme.

The rules still haven't changed:

No more than five prompts in a row.

No more than three prompts in the same fandom.

No spoilers in prompts.

If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Prompts should be formatted as follows:

Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...

The Listener, Toby, Sometimes Toby entertains himself by trying to reconcile what people are thinking which what they're doing/saying. He doesn't always succeed.

Teen Wolf, Sheriff and/or Melissa outsider!POV, They overhear a conversation about the goings on in their kids' lives and come to an absolutely logical and completely incorrect conclusion about what they heard.

Highlander, Amanda, Amanda tells her favorite thieving anecdote. What happened and why it went down that way made perfect sense at the time.

Think today's prompts are missing something? Visit the lonely prompt archive and brighten someone’s day.

Have fun and happy Thursday!

The Avengers/MCU, the team (+ any), Someone shows up to work wearing a wrist brace. Leave it to Tony to announce to the room a dirty theory as to what caused the injury.


(I got a lot of questions about the ace bandage on my wrist today. I still don't know what I did to it...)

[creepy_shetan]

Whitechapel, the team, Chandler sometimes wondered about the maturity level of his team. He honestly didn't think he'd said anything that amusing.

[creepy_shetan]

The History Boys (film), the boys, Whenever they get together after graduation, they always somehow start reciting poetry, acting out skits, and any number of little things that they learned in Hector's class. It never fails to draw a laugh -- or to alienate outsiders.

[creepy_shetan]

Tinker(,) Tailor(,) Soldier(,) Spy (book or film), Guillam + Prideaux, Now that Peter better understands Jim, he can't help feeling (internally?) protective or defensive whenever someone so much as implies him in any tone of voice around the office.


(Sooooo I started shipping them recently. You don't have to go that route, however. I just felt the need to share. 6^^;;)

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Pinkie Pie + Rarity, everything Pinkie does makes sense in context, but sometimes the context only exists inside her own head.

[hematitebadger.livejournal.com]

Haven, Duke+Nathan+Audrey, "Someone's Trouble made me do it; can we leave it at that?"

[hematitebadger.livejournal.com]

Community, Jeff (+ or /) Abed, "Why do you keep referencing that show/movie; you know I've never seen it."

(I'd prefer something that's not Inspector Spacetime related, but wherever the muse takes you.)
