you just took one look at megamind and went “hi this is mine now” and made it your own didnt you

LOLOL I fell in love with the movie and was like I’M GONNA NEED SOME MORE OF THIS

but when I ran out of official content THE CRAVING WAS NOT SATISFIED

and then I ran out of fan content and THE CRAVING WAS STILL NOT SATISFIED, so I was I was like 

FINE OKAY I’LL WRITE JUST ONE FIC, JUST A ONE-SHOT, which–

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

And then it all just

E S C A L A T E D

Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful wonder that was your birthday month fics, and that I can’t wait to see what’s next. Not that I think you need more ideas or anything, but one popped into my head and your Stay (don’t stray) made me think you’d like it: Roxanne always calls Megamind sweetheart, but only off-camera when it’s just the two of them (and minion). He thinks it’s her trying to be the Temptress and get in his head, but after the movie events she reveals it’s not true.

Thank you so much! (it obviously took me a while to answer this lol but!) I really like this prompt, and I will for sure save it!

people who consider themselves “intellectuals” look up to megamind because he is the ‘highests being of intelligence on our planet’, but he always roasts those people over the internet

Definitely! Megamind mispronounces words and his best friend struggles with spelling; that particular kind of smug ‘intellectual’ classism isn’t going to go down with him at all.

It’s interesting to me that, even though Megamind prides himself on his intellect, he never really uses it to make other people feel stupid. 

He calls the people of Metrocity ‘mindless drones’, yes, but that seems to be based on them being so obsessed with Metro Man–he calls them ‘softheaded groupies’ first; his real complaint is with their blind worship of Metro Man.

When he thinks Minion doesn’t understand the definition of ‘melancholy’, he doesn’t mock Minion, but just phrases it different for him: “unhappy”. 

He does the same thing for Hal, with the word ‘unfathomable’; when he says “you’ve been blessed with unfathomable powers!” and Hal says “what kind of powers?”, he starts to repeat the word ‘unfathomable’, then quickly and seamlessly changes to rephrasing it for Hal instead: “it’s without fathom”. And he does it without acting superior at all.

Roxanne finishes work early; decides to go for a walk home the long way around rather than run into Hal. In her random street walking, she stumbles upon Evil Lair. What does she find there? This popped into my head and I would love to see what you do with it if you don’t mind, I’m sort of obsessed with your writing *smiles shyly*

Ahh thank you so much! 😀 I will definitely save this story prompt; it’s basically pure wish fulfillment for Megamind!

I’m curious, what does “setpenre-set” mean? Am I missing a ridiculously obvious reference to something here? Because that’s definitely a possibility with me.

Not super obvious! It’s ancient egyptian– setepenreset means “chosen one of Re and Set”. I’ve always been fascinated by ancient egypt; it was one of my earliest special interests, and it’s still one of my recurring special interests. 

Set and Re are egyptian gods. Set is the god of chaos and outsiders (and my favorite of the ancient egyptian pantheon) Re is the god of the sun, and the head of the pantheon. They’re best friends–when all the other gods turn against Set, Re continues to support him, and Set repeatedly saves Re’s life by killing the demon Apep, who seeks to destroy the sun each night.

“Setepenre” (’chosen one of Re’) was also the name of both an egyptian princess and a prince; the fact that it’s a unisex name pleases me as a nonbinary person.

I put a dash between “setepenre” and “set” to emphasize Set, as he is my favorite, and because it looked more visually pleasing to me.

As a related side note, my icon of Megamind is a photomanipulation I created out of a picture of the ancient egyptian Bust of Nefertiti.

I can’t stop thinking about “old, new, borrowed and blue” and what’s going to happen when they finally do go to the wedding and meet Roxanne’s family. Like…what if her mom actually *likes* Roxanne’s mysterious new boyfriend and thinks they’re well matched? Because he’s clearly an intellectual dweeb and WAY more her type than that Wayne fellow…

Ohhh, writing Roxanne’s family’s reactions to her “new boyfriend” is going to be quite fun! 😀
