One time in high school I was waiting to talk to the Vice Principal and this other kid came in and sat down next to me. He said “What are you in for?” And I said “Oh, they just want to know if it’s cool if I miss my classes tomorrow to run sound and lights for a presentation in the auditorium. What are you in for?” and he said that he stabbed a kid with a screwdriver. I told him we led very different lives and he agreed.

Roxanne and Megamind but I can’t decide which one is which, because Megamind as the troublemaker is the obvious choice, but I also fully believe that Roxanne would stab someone with a screwdriver
so what if the school realized that they could solve the dual issue of having no budget for much-needed a/v repairs and Megamind constantly being in detention with one move: he’s recruited to fix and run the system, effectively doing community service to work off his detention time so he won’t have to come back after class two years after graduating to handle the backlog.
Meanwhile, a guy in shop class thought it’d be funny to snap Roxanne’s bra strap.
ooh! Megamind gives an impassioned impromptu plea in Roxanne’s defense, claims he needs an extra pair of hands for the repair work, and convinces the vice principal to let her work off her punishment in regards to the Screwdriver Incident by helping him.
They’re reluctant because stabbing is pretty bad – even Megamind’s victims don’t usually need stitches – but Roxanne points out that half the girls in class had been trying to report the guy for sexual harassment for months now, only to be told “Boys just do that to girls they like”, which seems like a failure on the administration’s part … it could go really badly if they wanted to victim-blame, say, the daughter of a lawyer?
Self-defense suddenly seems like a reasonable argument to them, but they negotiate to describe the ‘community service’ in the most ominous terms possible when the parents of the stabbing victim inevitably call the office, to make it sound like it’s even worse than suspending her.
They make sure to mention that she’s going to be working with Megamind–cue a list of some of Megamind’s most dangerous-sounding accidents–“on a community service work program specially designed for our most troubled and problematic students”.
They manage to make it sound like working with Megamind is going to be a punishment in and of itself, and obliquely hint at it possibly being dangerous for her.
The administration is also careful to make it sound, to anyone else who asks about Megamind, like working with Roxanne is going to be punishment enough for him, and obliquely hint that she might be dangerous for him.
Megamind and Roxanne are both worried that the other one is going to believe it, but of course they don’t, and the two of them end up sarcastically joking about it, like “oh, you’d better let me have the last cookie in the packet or I might STAB YOU”.
Megamind buys her a screwdriver as a present.
They do have a staff supervisor, though they pay closer attention to the performances over the repairs. The aforementioned budget issues meant they had to let go the last faculty member who actually had technical training, so the teacher usually just keeps half an eye on them to make sure they’re doing something that looks like repair work and uses the time to get through some papers they need to grade.
Performances, on the other hand – while they usually assume the worst with Megamind’s motives, they realized the issue was more creative issues than malice (otherwise they would’ve found him something else to do). So they have someone there to tell him that no, the principal doesn’t want to enter with a guitar riff and billow of smoke, where did the smoke machine come from we never had a smoke machine.
Roxanne … look, the staff learned after her attempt to unionize the canteen workers that detention can be harder on them than on her. Everyone is relieved that they went for an option that lets her channel her energy toward something productive.
Just finished re-watching Megamind on Netflix and immediately went to AO3 (because of course,) but my slashy heart got UTTERLY distracted by this wonderful Megamind/Roxanni Richi fic and OMG ITS PERFECT
It’s so cool that you drew her wearing the outfit I designed! I love the hearts swirling around her in the background, like a representation of her powers. And her sassy pose and expression are both great. Her gun looks excellent, too; especially with the light glinting off of it like that!
Thank you so much for this; I really love it a lot!! :DD ❤ ❤ ❤
Tentatively titled ‘It seems I have you in my evil clutches once again, Miss Ritchi’, alternately titled ‘Megamind, babe, I need to get ready for work’, alternately titled ‘You should try escaping harder, then.’
!!! THIS IS SO ADORABLE!!
The titles are great, and I love the light shining on Roxanne’s hair, and the pink tip of Megamind’s ear.
And the position is so well-chosen and so well executed! They look very natural and so wonderfully comfortable with each other. I like the way you can see how Megamind’s arms around her have displaced the cup of her bra slightly, and made her strap slip down.
And I absolutely LOVE the Alte-re freckles on her hip!! :DD
The local gossip rags are insisting Metro Man has broken up with Roxanne Ritchie. Megamind is – actually, furious, convinced Roxanne must be DEVASTATED, and even though the loser in white is NO WHERE near good enough for her Megamind has convinced himself the only way to cure her (obvious) unhappiness is to get them back together.
