Tagged by @timaeusterrored (you lil rascal) I have to many AUs, but here you go, a few semi actual WIPs

[Dont you] Forget about me (Minecraft AU)

Vince paced for a moment through the room, combing through his hair with his fingers. The stress of the last days made him not sleep much, nor did he have a second for himself. Slowly he sat down on the bed and let himself fall on his back staring at the illuminated,  glassy ceiling. A few moments went by until he fell asleep. A dream of his last memories with his husband hunting him.

”What, you again thinking about him, aren’t you?! Always when you looking at his kids! I see the dreamy face of you!”Johnny was angrily pacing through the living room, his voice silent but sharp. He didn’t want to alarm the kids, but his anger was boiling.“Johnny. Please. I am not thinking about him.” Vince sighed, his head burrowed into his hands.

“Yeah sure. Guess you also not dreaming ‘bout him, hu? You are a damn liar.”“I am not dreaming about him, what is going on?!”, his head jolted up and stared at Johnny. His temper and jealousy wasn’t easy to handle at times. 

“Are you still into him?” Johnny stopped right in front of Vince, looking down at his sitting husband.

“No. I am not into him. God, I never was. I told you so very often. We fucked, we got kids. Yeah, stuff happens. And I dearly love the kids, just as much as I love our kids. Johnny, please. Calm down.”“As if I could believe that the slightest. You are always taking *his* kids with you, not our. You bring them the nice, little presents from your adventures.”“Are… you telling me I should take two toddlers with me? Milan and Camillo can walk by themself, even for longer ways. And when I go down to the village, and to our neighbors the way is quite large.” Vince slowly stood up, trying to place his hands on Johnny’s hips to sooth him, but his husband pushed him back onto the couch and leaned over him.

“May you start spending more time with our kids, instead of heading out on your silly adventures? I gave up all my career for you, bastard.” Johnny turned pacing again through the room. “You know what? No. Go. Take your bastard kids, and go on your lil’ adventure. I gonna bring the twins to Alex. I need a bit of time for myself right now.”“But…” “No ‘buts’. Head out now.” Vince sighed and slowly stood up, watching Johnny but he didn’t even turn towards him, staring out of the windows. “See ya later.” he mumbled and left with the grown boys. ______________

Drown (Cyberpsycho AU)

After a small gig in Pacifica Vince was standing on the railing near the rollercoaster and stared at the ocean. It was a good feeling to be back in Nightcity. Arizona was beautiful too, but it wasn’t his home anymore. Nightcity was the shithole he lived through all the adventures and problems, and the city where he lost everything. Vince pulls a pack of cigarettes out of his pockets and lights one up, a deep sigh leaves the young man as he takes the first drag of it. The nicotine addiction was the only thing left from Johnny.

Johnny. Alone the thoughts of him were hurting so deeply, like cutting his own flesh. All the memories come back like a flood, filling his mind and making him overwhelmed again. Vince still had the blood of the Gangoons of the Animals on his hands and forearms, a few splatter over his Shirt and jacket. But he doesn't care, never cared at all and since he was all alone now, he would never bother to care anytime soon.

He brushed through his hair, again blond and a bit longer, not anymore blue, black and neatly trimmed. The Merc just didn’t find the time nor motivation to keep up his usual routine of dying his hair ever so often. Another deep sigh escaped him, before he blew out the smoke from his lungs. The first time blond since he was sixteen. Also his nails, undone since he was back from Arizona. No fancy makeup, and the eyeliner more smudged than carefully applied. He hated being alone, the unsettling feeling that a part of himself, of his soul was missing.

After everything that happened in Mikoshi and the long ongoing brain surgery in Arizona, everything should be fine now, right? But it wasn’t. Nothing was fine. Everyone he ever was close with, died within the tower attack, or afterwards. The one person he ever was truly open with everything, Panam. Just another name in the columbarium. As well as Johnny. Sure the Aldecaldos helped him nonetheless, but he never wanted to go back to his nomad roots.

With the cigarette in one hand, the other found his temple to massage it with firm pressure. The headache was starting again, as so very often when he was lost in thoughts. The only way to get truly out of thinking? Working. Killing idiots for money, doing gig after gig. But it wasn’t fulfilling anymore, and when the mission gets too easy, his mind starts to spin again. Vince stared at the dirty water for what felt like hours, just taking an occasional drag of the cigarette. It was silent. So very silent. No wind was going, the waves just a small noise. Not one person nearby. The sound of traffic in the distance, reaching his ears barely.

The silence was so deafening for him. Just another form of torture this city has to over for him. He tries to calm himself, to clench and unclench his fists slowly. Deep breath in, holding. 3, 2, 1. Breath out. He repeated it a few times, but it didn’t work. Just as all the small little helping tricks Viktor told him, they all didn’t help him. Tears start to build up in the corners of his eyes. Vince was absolutely overwhelmed from his emotions. Especially this empty feeling, that feeling that nothing really matters. That he would never change anything, would never escape the treadmill which was this life in NightCity. City of broken dreams and nightmares.

Vince kicked the railing without much force, but the impact made it shutter and a sharp metallic sound was ringing in his ears, making his blood boil. He wanted to yell, to punch something, someone. To kill some more idiots, just to sooth this uneasy feeling. Do not think for a moment in time.  Vince winced as he heard a far too familiar noise. This couldn’t be what it sounded like. That was exactly the sound Johnny always made when appearing. Confused he turned his gaze from where the noise came and saw him, flickering like he always did. A smirk on his face, a holo-cigarette in his cybernetic hand. __________________

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival

(Part 2)

[sualne]

luffy and his dads stretching

[forgettable-au]

Does Flowey exist in this au?

Yes, he does.

Everything's pretty much the same when it comes to the regular story in this AU. It's just the past, especifically Papyrus' past (wich we don't know much about to begin with) that changes

Actually Flowey is one of the main characters in the story! (the main story of this au is divided between the past before the game and a post-pacifist timeline:D)

He and Papyrus will have a fun dynamic

-some thought I had in tags behind the keep reading

Srry for the spelling mistakes in here but I can't go and fix tags because I would end up erasing everything😭tumblr struggles

designs for a Transformers horror AU thing I was working on but shelved for the time being to work on my other main tf au project.

Thought I just shared these freaks without context. rest of the art and writing for this project prob not gonna be posted until/if I start working on it again.

Bonus little dude, he a part of a diagram explaining some lore but it doesn't make a ton of sense without knowing other lore from this AU I haven't shared.

design notes

Birds of paradise <333 Them being of the same bird family is important to me... (honorary mention to the snowy owl for Kristoph) (also honorable mention to the paradise crow) (but i like them having matching ribbons (and the two birds i went with are more closely related))

I originally tried giving Klav the whole fluffy back of yellow/white feathers, but (a) he looked SO over complicated (especially compared to everyone else) and (b) I realized that no other character has back feathers, anyways. so it would make sense he does not either.

The ribbon-tails are similar to Apollo and Trucy's hearts: they both inherit this feature from one of their parents. (One parent is a stephanie's astrapia, one is a lesser bird-of-paradise). (Also of note: the lesser bird-of-paradise also has two long wire plumes, if you look closely)

Tails: (Klav's is basically a ribbon-tailed astrapia's tail btw.) Because the tail is such a notable feature of these species, I'm including it, though they also come from the base of the wing (though I'll probably just draw them as essentially tails in the future), and are much shorter than they would be, were they proportional.

i got very lazy on the individual introduction sheets they're so bad 😭😭 specifically klavier pls just imagine he and his wings look better there 🙏🙏🙏 LOL i hope the other drawings make up for it !! >:3

FINALLY MY CAT!!!! it’s been a while,,, this is him everyday after taking his pills cuz he knows it’s milk time now (image from my dad) (also flat colors and zoom bc me likey this image)

[halfghostwriter]

When a true baby ghost is born— a ghost not born of dying, but rather through the desire of another ghost— they are little more than a core with wispy ectoplasm emanating from them for about a month. During said month, they take on influence from their surroundings in order to figure out the form they’ll take, hence why so many young ghosts look like their parents.

Because they aren’t fully formed until a month after their birth, the parent or parents will take on a far more aggressive, primal form in order to protect their child. The parent’s form will become incredibly monstrous, and their size will increase, with triple their normal size being most common among parents. Their mental state also becomes incredibly instinctual, higher intelligence temporarily being replaced by aggression towards anyone the ghost doesn’t consider family. They stay in this state until the baby is fully formed.

Of course, Danny “don’t worry about it” Phantom forgets to add this bit of trivia to his explanation to his fellow heroes as to why he was taking paternity leave. In his defense, he didn’t expect them to visit during that month.

And he definitely didn’t expect his brooding brain to latch onto most everyone who visited as “part of his brood.”

DREAMLING AU↳ let me down easy by @valeriianz

“... Mr. Gadling will be your photographer today.” Hob hears Morpheus’ shoes scuff and halt on the wooden floor before he turns around, taking a deep breath and holding it as he finally meets Morpheus’ eyes for the first time in five years.

This being the second time I’ve ever drawn Fool reminded me how difficult it is to draw his rays, but we prevail! (By cheating, I am a copy paste QUEEN)

Anyway, I love this silly jester man and the spooky ghost

The first chapter of my sci-fi dystopian Team Rancher au, Finality’s Fault, is here! I worked really hard on this first chapter and am very proud of it, so comments and rbs (feedback in general) would be greatly welcomed!

Also, asks are always open if you wanna ask me about it, theorize, or just chat in general :)

[whetstonefires]

I know I talk about mdzs modern AUs a lot, but it's just somehow become a fascinating adaptation process to me, all these people making their personal calls about the nature of reality.

And a thing I keep coming back to is all the people who deliberately decide to give modern!wwx Mo Xuanyu's build.

To preserve the strength contrast that's leveraged for horny, which like, yeah that's fair, horny is an acceptable reason to make a story choice. I respect that, sometimes grudgingly.

But as a result of noticing this being done, oftentimes it seems without any reflection about why, I've developed this minor obsession with the fact that wwx in his own body at its adult height was fractionally shorter than lwj.

And this was the height he reached after a multi-year period in childhood living on scrounged garbage, plus the three months starving in the mass grave toward the end of his growth period.

Meaning that by all normal logic, a modern AU wwx who did not experience these periods of intense privation--which is most of them; it's quite rare for children to experience that particular form of total neglect in modern developed nations and modernAU!wwx's life ruining circumstances only occasionally involve intense physical torment--is going to be significantly taller as an adult.

Like. Add a few inches on there.

Where are all my adequately nourished six-foot-four Wei Wuxians???
