I'm not adding the Gall and Derik one, because I already have a call that goes "Derik said no, but Gall stubbornly insisted on _" in my Archive deck, but I've used all the others in some form. I hope you approve.
I've also added Ix's and your white cards.

Hey, folks! I've just added a few things to my Neshomeh's Archive CAHQ deck, plus "the warsheep" to the More Cards Against Headquarters deck, and I thought it might be a good time to ask for any suggestions you might have, too. It's been a while, and I know there are card-worthy things I haven't got yet. Calls are always especially needed, since they're harder to come up with.
For reference, my decks (in addition to the ones linked above) are these:
- FicPsych
- The Inevitable Holiday Edition (note: winter holidays only; other holidays might need their own deck?)
- The Flowers: A (the 30 most popular ones; responses only)
- The Flowers: B (all the rest; responses only)
So, if you have ideas, tell me! I'll add pretty much anything to the More Cards Against Headquarters deck, though I might tweak the grammar to make sure it functions properly and with maximum potential for lulz.
The only suggestions I definitely won't use are those involving Boarders; there's a separate deck for that, and it's Mattman's, not mine.
Feel free to suggest stuff from your own missions, but please don't suggest your own characters' names as responses. Names, by and large, are pretty boring, so it just doesn't make sense to add them unless it's by popular demand. (Humorous descriptions, e.g. "a flake with a camera," are another matter. Go nuts with humorous descriptions.)
By the same token, fandom references are good, but it's best if they're funny in their own right, so everyone can enjoy them even if they're not in that fandom. Anyway, there's probably a deck for your fandom out there already.
With those guidelines in mind, go wild!

Yeah so if you have anything for the Cards Against Boarders deck, I'll take those suggestions.
Black cards:
How do my agents stay sane during a badfic?
Sometimes you have to teach a Sue that being _______ doesn't mean _______ the hard way.
"Any excuse for ______ is a good excuse."
What weird creature did Agent Chris squee over this time?
To exactly no one's surprise, this Sue turned out to be ______ the whole time.
White cards:
The New Year's Gift Exchange.
A non-ironic thumbs up.
Romantic strolls through the woods.
Someone's previously-unknown sister.
Yet another cheesy soulmate AU.
Because the plot said so.
Having a laundry list of superpowers.
An uncultured ferret.
Quoting Monty Python.
A rebellious lab experiment.
Aliens!
Ami reading Elvish poetry.
Right. Ideas, ideas, ideas...
-"The fortnightly prompt has resulted in the agents being forced to ____."
...wait, that might be Cards Against Boarders. I dunno.
The next few might be repeats. The deck's so big now I can't really check.
-"Nothing scares DoSAT more than an agent bringing in ____ for repairs."
-"______ will make any agent go Flamethrower-crazy."
-"Up next on Multiverse Monitor: ___!"
-"What are Gall and Derik arguing about now?"
-"___ and ______. The perfect match for an ABO fic."
...And now onto white cards. Or are they Black cards? Onto the ones I haven't been doing! No idea if these are good, so please use discretion in adding them. These are just ideas.
-"ABO"
-"Irresponsible use of a spork"
-"Fangirls with candy"
-"Smoking a gun"
-"BLAM!"
Finally, character descriptions. I swore I wasn't going to do one for my agents. Because I am not narcissistic enough to presume that I've reached the level of notoriety for that to make sense yet.
...However, unbidden, the humorous description "A giant asexual gay man" popped into my head, and I found it funny enough to share.
These may not be good.
Black:
‘‘_________ is available at the General store.”
“Asking mini-Balrogs for _______, is like asking for _____.”
“The annual ________ has begun.”
White:
Eye bleach
Brain bleach
Leto
Snowball fight
Ship fest
Mini-balrog whip
Flame retardant underwear/clothes
I'm not adding the Gall and Derik one, because I already have a call that goes "Derik said no, but Gall stubbornly insisted on _" in my Archive deck, but I've used all the others in some form. I hope you approve.
I've also added Ix's and your white cards.

Just two white cards for you:
A roaming copy of The Monster Book of Monsters.
Nursery kids repeating questionable words.
