Emotional support human, done with respect to the fact that emotional labor is work
Can't find what you need on the market, so "F** this, I'll make it myself!"
Doomsday prepper who preps by building social ties and improving community (instead of the usual asocial-hoarder-of-goods-and-weapons version). Semi-relevant, I remember hearing "When everyone does better, than everyone does better," somewhere (maybe as an activist slogan?) but I don't remember where
Healthy boundaries
Cross-cultural synergy (i.e. the opposite of a culture clash)
I believe in Dragon, Good Men and Other Fantasy Creatures (which I think is both the title of a book and a bumper sticker). Prompted for both because I am currently frustrated with the sexism Inherent In The System, and also because I have known good men (and well-intentioned men, who sometimes fall short but are willing to try).
An Army of One: Therapy for the AYES that lost crews
Daughters of the Apocalypse: an Odd Friendship formed during the fall of civilization. Note: most Odd Friendships I've seen, the people involved seem to have at least one and sometimes more important similiarit(ies), and what makes them Odd is that from the outside the people don't look like they should have anything in common.
Eloquent Souls: They probably have an app for matching up soulmarks, especially if a common phrase activates without the parties being aware, or if the language is not local to the person.
Eloquent Souls: Some people will want clothing makeup or accessories to either hide or flaunt their soulmarks (or possibly show them off without showing skin - perhaps painted or embroidered on clothes?). There will also be models that focus on such things...
Frankenstein's Family - do the werewolves ever need adaptive clothes? Goven the time period, a cloak might be fastest/easiest.
Frankenstein's Family - They were going to buy some hunting hounds to help hide the werewolves. What will werewolf-trained hunting hounds be like?
Frankenstein's Family - What special accommodations does the mummy alchemist need, so he doesn't mold or something?
The Orocracies - How did it go the first time everyone got all the kings together for a meeting - and then almost everyone else resent explains why their leadership position means they aren't in charge: I'm actually the Pope / the King Consort / the father of the actual king / the grandson of the actual king / the guy who takes notes at out committee meetings...
One God's Story of a Mid-Life Crisis: What services does Sheath's temple actually provide? Did anyone ever sit down and list them? Also, how far do they extend outside his cadre of addicts (like would he protect or offer sanctuary to a non-addict prostitute or street kid?)
One God's Story of a Mid-Life Crisis: What services does the God (or Goddess now) of Evil preform?
Peculiar Obligations: The slave-Friend dashiki and related fabrics (I have some links but I'll PM them because this post is too long already).
P.I.E. - Might there be other jobs with folks who use their disabilities to their advantage? I'm thinking a blind guy would do a great job of dealing with just about anything invisible, and someone on the autism spectrum would make an excellent diplomat (or travel guide) to the Fae.
Polychrome Heroics - Primal soup tech. I think so far I've at least seen ideas for clothing, dining and foods.
Polychrome Heroics - We've seen sociopaths with a prosthetic-conscience-buddy. What about taking that a step further, with an empath serving as a prosthetic conscience, and the sociopath serving as a prosthetic, hmm, boundary, defense system, enforcer? So, a symbiosis where the empath keeps the sociopath within social limits and the sociopath keeps the empath safe from people who would use them.
Polychrome Heroics - How does a functional sociopath (or a group of them) deal with their prosthetic conscience needing an empathetic response? (I'm guessing run through a short prearranged checklist of practical stuff, and then call someone who isn't an empathic amputee...)
Polychrome Heroics - Also, I suspect that narcissists, at least, might also find prosthetic conscience's useful...
Polychrome Heroics - Therapy or self-help or whatever else to debug a prejudiced person's brain. I don't think I've seen that offered as a therapeutic specialty in our world, beyond maybe a specific self-help group or two, and people crowdsourcing solutions on the internet.
Practical Magics - men want big flashy magics but women want the quiet dishwashing, pest repelling, laundry, and self-defense magics...and guess which one provides more steady employment over time?
Quixiotic Ideas - I'd like to see their inclusive architecture.
Schrodinger's Heroes - respectful debate about the advantages of high teech vs low tech.
