ceuHaha, I started writing my Pat/Pran prompts, and then I went hundreds of characters over the character limit, so ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
nanonsthighs was like, "just write a letter..."
General DNWs: first or second person POV, lowercase-only text, little to no dialogue, Pran with experience or interest in any girl (unless Pran is a girl herself), self-injury/suicide, OCs as significant characters, canon-typical violence (lol) (I mostly mean like, random gun/weapon-violence within canonverse... if it's a mafia AU then you're good) (fistfights are also fine), hospitalization, space AUs, royalty AUs, moving them into a western country of any sort, terminal illness for any character, Harry Potter AU or references, cheating/infidelity between Pat/Pran or insinuations, character bashing (if you don't like a character I'd rather you just not mention them at all), sci-fi AU, implication of thinness = beauty even from a character, COVID or illness-heavy plots, kinkshaming unless it is literally for sex reasons (aka kinkshaming is the kink lmao), cops or military
1. Omegaverse! Alpha 4 alpha Pat/Pran, E rating preferred ;) Just a lot of alpha-alpha competition, neither of them ever backing down from the other, trying to one up each other except Pran, as usual, still secretly pines for Pat. I'm also not opposed to Pran getting bitched (i.e. Pat bites him and makes him an omega, or Pran ingests Pat's semen somehow which makes him an omega, or whatever you really want to make up) and ends up as Pat's omega, willingly. Maybe Pat feels really guilty about it? But if that's not your alley, just any sort of alpha4alpha Patpran competitiveness is appreciated - I think this fandom needs a lot more of it. Especially when it's pseudo-canonverse (i.e. kind of follows the Bad Buddy timeline but not really, but all the stuff pre-episode 1 still happens save for the parts affected by the omegaverse AU) Maybe they spend their first ruts together. Maybe they didn't present until they ran into each other in episode 1 again and now the tension between them is even higher since they run into each other for the first time in years and smell that they're both alphas.
2. Any sort of exploration between episodes 11 and 12 - i.e. how they navigate their relationship and how it develops between their fake breakup and before they graduate. While I do like Singapore era (and if that is more your alley then you can use prompt #6 for that :P), I just love the timeskip so much because we can go wild with our imagination for their relationship for the rest of their university education. Even though it's like ten seconds, I'm literally obsessed with the part during the episode 12 ~flashback~ of Pat sneaking into Pran's room (naked, as is my headcanon) and then Pat pretending to sleep on the couch while Pran does his architecture project. I'd love more things like that! Them being domestic, navigating their friends and family together - maybe Ming pesters Pat about getting a girlfriend? Maybe Paa and Pat have some sort of silly bet between their respective relationships? Maybe someone starts flirting with Pat and he's kind of oblivious to it (or so Pran thinks) but Pran notices and gets so jealous it ends up being kind of hilarious? Just any sort of shenanigans that they can get into while they're also attending club meetings and having to do projects and schoolwork. I also want to remark upon the canon (mentioned in a Soonvijarn video) that Pat actually graduates a year earlier before Pran, because the architecture program is 5 years but the engineering one is 4 years, so exploring and playing around with that would be really fun as well! ...And, again, I really like porn :P
3. Mpreg, specifically pregnant Pran. Um, that's it, that's the prompt. I don't mind if it's established relationship or maybe a hookup that neither of them thought would end up with Pran pregnant (although if it is the latter, I would still like them to have that childhood friendship-rivalry thing like they do in canon, to amp up the tension), so it can either be an mpreg get together fic or an established relationship domestic bliss with maybe some arguments/tension mpreg fic, whatever fits your fancy. I just really like mpreg! I do want to note that I would prefer abortion being presented as an option, and that Pran would opt not for it, but not that he thinks abortion is unthinkable. I also like pregnant smut, especially if Pat is really fond of Pran the bigger and more obviously pregnant he gets :)
4. Kink exploration & negotiation! I think Pat and Pran have a lot of kinks that they would like to explore post-canon, and I love the way they communicate. I tend to think of them liking all of the same things and just kind of figuring that out together - I like D/s, bondage, S/M stuff, choking, edging, petplay (either one), daddy kink (preferably daddy Pat in this case), and omo! Please do check out my DNWs if you're thinking about this though :) I also like them roleplaying as strangers in any way, especially if they like to swap roles when they do to "prove" to the other that they can do some role better than the other.
... also I do have a list of kinks I like in fic here if you want more inspiration
5. Any sort of in-depth competitive AU - I like sports a lot (my favorites are basketball, volleyball, and swimming, but I would also read really any sort of sports AU, like tennis, soccer/football, rugby (naturally), really whatever), and I also like either professional athletes, or if you just wanna go school competition or recreational sports that Pat and Pran take way too seriously and are just hyper-competitive with each other. But also e-sports, gaming, if they're dancers, etc - something that really amps up and requires for them to be competitive with each other in the public eye, and also affects their dynamic in private as well. I love the push and pull Pat and Pran have, how neither of them back down from each other and always push each other to give their all - I love competition in general, so a dedicated fic exploring that in really any sort of capacity is something I'd love to read. Especially if it's something that you, dear creator, know a lot about or are very competitive about or whatever, then I think it'd be really fun to read your passion for competition integrated into Pat/Pran's relationship
6. Free space! If you have a Pat/Pran idea you think I might like that doesn't have any of my DNWs, then here's your chance to write that! I'm really not that picky and I like porn and also no porn :) and also fluff :) I'm okay with high school angst and jealousy type stuff too :) Actually I particularly like Pran in (emotional) pain (okay I mean I'm not opposed to other types of pain too). AUs where they get together in high school are fun, or just pre-slash stuff! Singapore era is cool too, or even much later when they're an older married couple - with kids or not, I don't mind either way ♥ Also I love love love femslash AUs as well!! If any of the above prompts might appeal more to you as a writer if they were femslash AUs, go for it (or if you have your own!) I also like vampires, werewolves, and crack taken seriously :) Also weed.
Art-specific prompts:
1. pat: party rockers in the house tonight
pran: it's "party rock is"
pat:
pran:
(they start making out)
2. Pat/Pran in any sort of video game universe (either as characters or they're playing them) - I like Pokemon (Pat with/as a growlithe/arcanine and Pran with/as a vulpix/ninetales is my forever headcanon), Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and the Sims! And also really any other Nintendo game if you want (Zelda, Mario, etc.)
3.
4. Literally just any type of meme but made into Pat/Pran
Do Not Want: rape/non-con (dubcon is fine), darkfic, character death, bottom Pat or omega Pat (I don't mind mentions of them switching, but when it comes to explicit sex I'm a little more particular! I am okay with him subbing though, but when it comes to D/s stuff I'd prefer them be versatile)
Other things: I'm okay with them having past relationships if the story warrants it (Pran preferably only with men, Pat can be with whatever gender you want him to be with), and I'm also okay with either of their parents being depicted as willingly wanting to be better after the episode 10 fights, as long as it's still sympathetic to Pat and Pran
I know all these prompts mention (or insinuate) background Pat/Pran, and it is very much preferred!! Obviously does not have to be the focus in any way, shape, or form, but I would rather have them be together, or it be pre-relationship, or if you like Pat/Pran/a third or fourth character of your choosing, I wouldn't be opposed to poly either (aside from Ink, who I hc as completely uninterested in either of them regardless of whatever gender they are.) But please do not separate Pat/Pran if they are already together :) Thank you!
1. Dissaya finds out that Pat and Ming have drifted apart/a significantly worse relationship ever since the events of episode 10, and it allows her to be willing to get closer to Pat! Maybe she keeps seeing things that she knew about Ming in him, but also sees the things that make Pat unique - better, even, and why her son loves him so much. Just, I really love the idea of Dissaya learning to love and appreciate Pat post-episode 10 and I'm sad that we didn't even get a hint of it in episode 12 (I mean, I know it's a 12 episode long series for a reason so it makes sense, I just would've really loved it.) Maybe while Pran's in Singapore? But any sort of thing along those lines, of her discovering the disrepair that's become Pat's relationship with his father and now starting to have more complicated feelings about Pat - and also like, she totally knows that her son is still dating him, lmao.
2. Or even BEYOND that, maybe just a nice slice of life exploration of them actually being friends after Pat and Pran get married (because we know they do lol). Maybe it's at the wedding where Dissaya is either already friendly with Pat, or starting to make an effort then. Or maybe it's years after Pat and Pran's marriage, and Pat is already comfortable with calling Dissaya "mae" and Dissaya has already regarded him as her son and just a nice fluffy piece showing how much their relationship has changed and how they actually have one. I really love the idea of Dissaya being especially soft and fond to Pat to the point that it even astounds Pran - Pat having inside jokes with his mom, both of them teasing Pran sometimes, stuff like that! Just, family :pleading_face:
3. Girl!Pat and Dissaya where Pat, as usual, has a complicated relationship with her father. This can either be trans girl Pat or cis girl Pat or whatever you want to be - but largely that Pat has a complicated relationship with her girlhood and maybe her sexuality, and Ming does not make it much better. Dissaya maybe steps in to help her in secret? Or maybe she doesn't think of it as helping Pat, but she does little things that makes Pat realize that her rival's mom is paying attention to her and can care for her in a way that her dad can't. Pat can be whatever age you want her to be, or if you want to do some sort of through the years thing, that would be fun too!! I just think there would definitely be more potential for Dissaya to not see Ming in Pat if Pat was a girl, and thus extend her sympathies as well. In this case, I would also prefer Pran to be a girl (trans or cis is also fine, I don't care either way), to keep their relationship gay :)
4. Pat finding a scholarship for women wanting to go back to college after being out of the workforce for a while, but unsure how to bring it up to her, but you know, he likes to fix things!
5. Pat asking Dissaya if Ming was... always like this, after a particularly big blow up between them
6. Pat and Dissaya both decide to surprise Pran in Singapore for his birthday, but he actually has a looming deadline, so they end up having to do touristy Singapore things together! And Pat's really excited and points at things out the window while Dissaya watches him, KNOWING her son loves him, and seeing why: how much joy he brings, how open he is, how kind. And then seeing those things reflected on Pran's face when he looks at him :pleading_face: (yes I know this isn't Discord)
(thank you tonanonsthighs for helping me come up with some of these ♥)
DNW: Transphobic Dissaya if Pat is trans in any way (ignorance is fine but outright transphobia is a no-go), separating Pat/Pran, terminal illness or character death of Pat, Pran or Dissaya, Pat/Dissaya in any romantic or sexual way
1. Post episode 11 stuff, you know the drill. An exploration and study of her friendship with Pat and Pran as she helps them hide their relationship from their friends/family, especially now that she has to "work" with their best friends (who I'm sure she often thinks as extremely immature boys) (because they are) and her girlfriend who she just wants to hang out with and kiss. What trouble does Ink go through for Pat, for Pran, for them as a couple? I don't think she'd think of it as trouble, and she's a very confident person who has no qualms with being generous, but from an outsider perspective you'd definitely be able to recognize her as a very good friend. Her teasing banter with Pat is one of my favorite things, and the way she and Pran are gay2gay communication but hold a lot of mutual respect for each other is just such a good dynamic. Anyway I'm getting off topic but - basically, Ink POV of her helping them hide their relationship! Shenanigans! Her being judgy and eyerolly, especially to Wai and Korn, but still having fun and loving two of her best friends so much!
2. High school canon! I'd LOVE to know her thought process behind making Pat and Pran matching bracelets (other than, you know, thinking they'd be good together lol). We'd seen that she and Pat, again, were still really good friends in high school, but Ink still had some fondness for Pran too, even though she never got a chance to give him his bracelet at the time. Maybe Ink trying to befriend Pran, but Pran only associates her with his jealousy about Pat that he's torn between being frosty and being nice (as is his default state when it's not Pat)? Or maybe some sort of AU where she does give Pran his bracelet then. Ooh, I'd also love to know what she thought of the Christmas concert! Maybe she could also make that AU - make Pat somehow reach out to Pran so they stay friends/in contact even when Pran goes to boarding school, or maybe an AU where she has influence over the Christmas concert or something that changes its outcome slightly. Whatever it is, I'd love to see their dynamic in high school as well!
3. Free space again!! If you have another Ink & Pran and Ink & Pat idea, go for it! Their friendship is so so so important to me, especially when Pat/Pran as a couple is thrown into the mix, but doesn't lessen Ink's presence or value in their lives, nor does it negatively affect Ink's friendship with them in any way. Maybe she can "joke" about shipping them. Maybe she tries to matchmake them? Maybe she helps coordinate with Pran a surprise party for Pat when they're older and married? Maybe Pat & Pran are girls and they both go to her for her Sage Lesbian Advice? (Ink: ????? Pran: You just seem so confident! Ink: ???? I've never dated girls before but okay) Any sort of AU that explores their relationship in a different setting is welcome as well! I'd just love to see her integrated into their lives, whether it's before she dates Pat's sister or while she does :)
DNW: I didn't put Pat/Pran in this slot because if it's pre-slash they don't necessarily have to be together, but if they do end up dating other people I'd still like an implication that Pat/Pran would still end up endgame down the line. I also don't want Ink to be interested in them in any way, even thinking it - I really headcanon her as having literally 0 romantic/sexual interest in either of them but really valuing their friendship and enjoying their company. Pat, of course, liking Ink is always fun for the lulz, especially if she knows. But in addition to this, I also don't want any insinuation of Ink being interested in any man whatsoever, whether Pat/Pran are also men or not.
General DNWs: first or second person POV, lowercase-only text, little to no dialogue, Pran with experience or interest in any girl (unless Pran is a girl herself), self-injury/suicide, OCs as significant characters, canon-typical violence (lol) (I mostly mean like, random gun/weapon-violence within canonverse... if it's a mafia AU then you're good) (fistfights are also fine), hospitalization, space AUs, royalty AUs, moving them into a western country of any sort, terminal illness for any character, Harry Potter AU or references, cheating/infidelity between Pat/Pran or insinuations, character bashing (if you don't like a character I'd rather you just not mention them at all), sci-fi AU, implication of thinness = beauty even from a character, COVID or illness-heavy plots, kinkshaming unless it is literally for sex reasons (aka kinkshaming is the kink lmao), cops or military

Pat & Dissaya

Ink & Pat, Ink & Pran
I find Ink's friendship with both Pat and Pran fascinating, even moreso on an individual basis rather than just the three of them - mostly because I feel like we get a lot of the three of them in canon, but her friendships with each of them individually is only touched upon when I would like to see it explored a lot more!! We know that she and Pat are good friends, and she and Pran are friendly, and I just want to see more exploration of their dynamics together - of course I have no opposition to the three of them being explored as a friendship dynamic either (well, in the case of Pat/Pran being together and Ink being one of their closest friends), but that wasn't in the tagset hahaha *sweats* *maybe forgot to nominate it*1. Post episode 11 stuff, you know the drill. An exploration and study of her friendship with Pat and Pran as she helps them hide their relationship from their friends/family, especially now that she has to "work" with their best friends (who I'm sure she often thinks as extremely immature boys) (because they are) and her girlfriend who she just wants to hang out with and kiss.

But in addition to this, I also don't want any insinuation of Ink being interested in any man whatsoever, whether Pat/Pran are also men or not.
