#Abundance & Equilibrium (au)

[kuruna]

Messy concept doodles for outfits I like to imagine Lysandre wearing through the story :~)

The first is a Secret Evil Villain Disguise 😱 fashionable and practical !! Idk if it's ever explained what his robugs are meant to Do, but I'm gonna say they're used as cameras and just general tools for thievery and being sneaky. And also some other functions .... (Don't they have like a jet pack function in the manga. Im 100000% giving him a jet pack like absolutely I am)

The second outfit is what I call his "God-king Wannabe" fit. Or just King Lysandre if you want to be nice. He's dressed similarly to his own ancient ancestor moreso than AZ, but with the addition of lots of flashy gold so it's more royal. He's first seen in this fit when the player finds AZ in Lysandre Lab's basement, and it's meant to make the player (and even other members of Team Flare) go "oh this dude has something wrong with him for real."

Vexxieverse Fic Thread

OT5 poly AU. They navigate through Hollywood, life, sex, kink, and jealousy but never without abundant love. BDSM comfort fic. 

OT5 work on a hit TV show, Excavated. Harry is added to the cast, its love at first sight for Louis. His costar Liam, director Niall, & FX artist Zayn fall under his spell and the 5 of them find their friendship blossoming into something new (and kinky!)

This is a story about the Happily Ever After, not the journey to start it.

What do you say to a giving a little more lore on the priestesses AU?

I WOULD LOVE TO

first of all, some things need to be adjusted for totk, and that means I have to share a different theory that I have that's kind of independent from the priestesses au.

The idea that the Zonai weren't the only race that disappeared. I think that probably at the same time as the Zonai there were a race that lived almost exclusively in the depths and were able to manipulate the darkness. (see Thypho ruins in botw) they could be what form the ancient hero took, (bc that magical fursuit does not look like any zonai we know, the tail, the ears, the hair, etc...)

That way there could still be a connection to the Twili, (also since Midna's and Zant's helmets are down there). It really bothered me that the Zonai suddenly came from the sky and looked like goat people and what little we knew about them was shattered. But if there were a race that cooperated with the Zonai in the depths, a mirrored world of the surface, blanketed in pitch darkness, that may have disappeared alongside them, and after thousands of years had been forgotten entirely, that makes sense to me.

The priestesses au is largely centered around creating a backstory for the three elemental dragons in botw, and so totk... made me have to make more changes for it to make sense. Originally the AU was supposed to happen a hundred years after the first calamity, like how botw happens a century after the second and final calamity. The plot was going to be that just like in the future, even with all the tech and the might of the champions and the princess and the hero, the calamity still wasn't quite sealed. It still had influence and a wanting to take the triforce from its chosen guardians.

But in totk the whole idea of the dragons was kind of explained (though I'm not sure if the dragons appeared in any past cutscenes or if Zelda was kind of 'the first'. I have a feeling due to the abundance of massive skeletal remains, the dragons aren't as immortal as they seem and there were more of them than just the four that we know about)

So, that just means that I now have a method of how the priestesses became the dragons. Perhaps after Ganondorf was sealed, more secret stones were discovered and given to those of extraordinary power, or perhaps they were just a last resort to keep the sacred springs and the goddesses that they represented safe. There was a reason calamity ganon tried to take over Naydra (Zelda) but wasn't able to fully control her. Her divinity was too much to turn her into a threat against Link. I have a feeling he would've tried to go after the other dragons but after the first one, knew it was a losing battle.

Or, they could be the reason draconification was banned in the first place and they turned before Hyrule was even a kingdom. Perhaps there used to be nine secret stones (Rauru/Zelda's- Light/Time, Sonia/Ganondorfs- Time/Gloom, Sages- Lightning, Fire, Wind, and Water, plus three more for the dragon trio) and the Zonai, who wanted to keep the secret stones within reach, banned the practice. After all, dragons don't really do much other than vibe and a secret stone is much more useful to have available.

Now, enough of that, it's kinda boring, let's get to the good shit, I want to talk about Ravio being the equilibrium between darkness and light, out of the rest of his siblings, he's the one who takes on the most 'twili' traits, he has the greatest grasp over darkness, which he uses to conceal his face, and his hair glows the brightest. And he's the one chosen to wield the sword that seals the darkness. I think it's important to note how the character of Link as the hero is always kind of a sponge of the magic and people around him, so Ravio is no different. He's the balance of the darkness and the light, and the magic prowess and the skill with a sword that it's important for the hero to have.

Every other character has a more clear delineation of skills, they have more extreme strengths and weaknesses but Ravio is made to be a little more adaptable, he is the duality that is needed to be the hero. He knows when to run and hide in the shadows, and he knows when to fight. He just has to learn that his nature of being a jack of all trades is a good thing rather than being disappointed that he can't seem to get good at one specific thing like all the people around him.

thanks for letting me go on a tangent, however, I am still open to more instigation lmao, my typing fingers aren't tired yet

FIC: Coffee Shop Soundtrack: 3/10 (MLB; Luka)

Notes: “Ver.  Babes.  Coffee Shop AUs are supposed to be silly, fluffy, tooth-rotting romance served up with an abundance of silly caffeinated beverages and scones.  What are you doing here?”  You mean this isn’t how you do a Coffee Shop AU?  (The “Blank Space” cover mentioned is the one by I Prevail and kicks all kinds of ass.)

Ch 1 | Ch 2

Coffee Shop Soundtrack

Chapter Three: That Monday Andrew Came to Work

Monday morning brought with it a sense of…not peace.  Not exactly.  Luka couldn’t say he felt peaceful about the unexpected meeting Saturday, and he definitely didn’t feel peaceful about trusting his real name with a six-year-old he barely knew, but there was a sense of…clarity, at least.  He felt calm, like a bit of his equilibrium had been restored.  Somewhere amidst the chaos Saturday had thrown his mind into, a rational thought was breaking through.  That thought said he was panicking over nothing.  He had gone over a decade without running into Andrew Couffaine, so there was no reason to believe he would run into him again.  It was just a random encounter that had led to a bad night, and now it was over and he could move on.  Andrew Couffaine was his past, and the bastard could stay there where he belonged.  He had no place in his future.  Luka didn’t want him to have one.

The clarity also brought with it a resolution.  Andrew Couffaine would not be a part of his life.  CeeCee – Celia Couffaine – could not be a part of his life.  So, he decided as he laid there in the early Monday light, neither would be a part of Juleka’s, either.

📖+ Joke AU where everything is the same except Diggy has extendable stilt legs that activate whenever someone calls her short (whether she wants them to or not!)

"Where in the world did the old man put it?! Ah' would insult his storage system, but he don't appear to have one." Diggy growled through gritted teeth as she rifled through the storage shelves of the hangar bay, trying her best to find the box containing the high-powered struts that she KNEW her father had ordered. With them being such complex machines, the abundance of spare parts often made it difficult to find what one was looking for. Not to mention, with different functions came the need for differently optimized components, and the lackluster classification system was not helping.

Their creator would've likely brushed off said accusations as him "having his own way of cataloguing the materials needed for his work", but Diggy knew well enough he just learned everything by heart. There was no rime or reason to the madness, only him being too lazy to put away things where they could easily be reached. Well, not that there was the ground space for it, but she still was determined to get mad at him for it.

"It's not that big of a deal if you don't find them, it's not like I can install them myself..." Under her feet, Celerity's meek voice interrupted her disgruntled train of thoughts, prompting Diggy to glance down at her sibling. Celerity didn't look in pain, which was relieving, but she wasn't putting much weight on one of her legs, holding it folded as she rested her weight partially on the wall with one arm. The other was plenty busy holding up Diggy in a relatively steady equilibrium of standing on her shoulders. Normally, Celerity would have just jumped to fetch the missing part, but the inability to properly balance on two legs or land well had quickly told her that that particular plan wasn't very plausible. And then came the idea of... for lack of a better term, being a ladder. Which surprisingly, Diggy had gone along with. She was the perfect height to dig through the shelves without hitting her head on the ceiling, after all!

"Hey, s'no biggie! If we wait for the old man ta' fetch the part hisself' when he comes home, it'll take forever! Ah'd rather not have ya' playin' a skippin' game until then!" Diggy chirped, good-naturedly, as she continued to push about crates and tools. Thinking a bit about why she did this made her feel just that little less disgruntled.

Celerity chucked in response, smiling upwards to her sibling. "It's a good thing you're relatively short - I couldn't ask anyone else-"

Seconds later, Celerity wobbled on her lone leg as her sister's legs extended sharply, launching her upwards until the poor mining robot's head collided with the ceiling in a crunch of mauled hardwood. And to Celerity's horror, stayed there, even after she took a tumble and her rear end hit the floor, leaving them both at opposite ends of the room.

Just... not the typical ends of it.

Celerity could swear she felt Diggy's eyes roll back into their sockets to glare at her through the metal in annoyance.

"...Ooops?"

I’m not sure if you have already answered this but demon and angel au?

Ahhhhhhh ok ok I finally finally got something for this. I’m sorry it took me a while, I couldn’t stop thinking about @/sincerelysamedt’s gorgeous angel and demon au killugon fic whenever I think about this (read it, it’s so good).

But here’s a little piece of my take. I LOVE THIS AU SO MUCH.

Initially I thought of who would be the angel and who would be the demon. Referencing Ysabel’s fic there where Killua’s the angel, I thought hey, what if we switch it? Gon could be angel and Killua could be demon. BUT THEN, the entire hxh series flashed through my mind like a supercut and made me realize that:

Gon is akin to an angel at the beginning of the series, and Killua the demon child assassin born to kill, a puppet of darkness

As we progress into the episodes, we could almost see that Gon is becoming the demon child while Killua transforms into an angel

At the peak (CA arc), Gon demon baby and Killua angel child is showcased beautifully

And I am blown away. Togashi big brain!

So, for this AU, might I offer star-crossed lovers: Angel Gon and Demon Killua. They become best friends. Angel Gon discovers the cruel reality of the world while Demon Killua discovers the abundance of good. Slowly their hearts change (both for the good) and they become more mature, they meet at the center. Equilibrium. Perfect balance of good and bad.

But then something happens to Angel Gon’s reality. Everything falls apart and his heart is tainted with darkness. Demon Killua couldn’t do anything but be there for him (because he is darkness himself, if he touch him, he’s afraid Gon’s heart would be tainted even more than it already is).

Gon succumbs to darkness, but Killua ascends to be the light.

At the end, Gon becomes demon, and Killua becomes angel. They both are still best friends, they both still love each other. But they will never be the same.

Des insectes de première importance ont massivement diminué en Asie de l'Est, selon une étude

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

Insects that play a key role in East Asia's ecosystems declined sharply over the past two decades, according to new research — a trend also seen elsewhere.

  Essential insects in East Asia have declined massively, study finds By Meaghan Tobin

-------NDÉTraduction La piéride du chou, la pyrale du maïs et d'autres insectes phytophages essentiels aux écosystèmes ont considérablement diminué en Asie de l'Est au cours des deux dernières décennies, tout comme les libellules et autres insectes prédateurs qui les mangent, selon une étude publiée vendredi dans la revue Science Advances.

  Long-term insect censuses capture progressive loss of ecosystem functioning in East Asia | Science Advances, 03.02.2023 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ade9341

  Insects provide critical ecosystem services such as biological pest control, in which natural enemies (NE) regulate the populations of crop-feeding herbivores (H). While H-NE dynamics are routinely studied at small spatiotemporal scales, multiyear assessments over entire agrolandscapes are rare.

  Here, we draw on 18-year radar and searchlight trapping datasets (2003–2020) from eastern Asia to

(i) assess temporal population trends of 98 airborne insect species and

(ii) characterize the associated H-NE interplay.

  Although NE consistently constrain interseasonal H population growth, their summer abundance declined by 19.3% over time and prominent agricultural pests abandoned their equilibrium state.

  Within food webs composed of 124 bitrophic couplets, NE abundance annually fell by 0.7% and network connectance dropped markedly.

  Our research unveils how a progressive decline in insect numbers debilitates H trophic regulation and ecosystem stability at a macroscale, carrying implications for food security and (agro)ecological resilience during times of global environmental change.

Here how I changed the storyline with Parfum Palace since I'm there in game:

-Lucerne DOES have the Pokeflute that would be used to wake up Snorlax, but it's not because he took it... rather, Lysandre has asked him to run a few tests on it! It's constructed from a material that's similar to that of the anistar sundial... (Which also happens to be the same material the ultimate weapon is crafted from). He's more than happy to give it back because he's just about finished with his tests, but...!!

-The Furfrou Incident. His dogs are Loose!! He's so preoccupied he can barely think about anything else!!! Shauna & Serena end up having to help out.

-After they help, Lucerne explains a little about the flute while handing it to the girls for them to deliver. He also mentions AZ for the first time, mentioning that his cousin (Lysandre) has been developing a peculiar interest in the old king.

-(the girls don't get to see it, but when Lysandre comes by to grab Lucerne's research notes, the two end up having an argument 😭 Lys hasn't told Lu about team flare or his ultimate plans, but Lu just Knows he's up to nothing good ... He tells Lysandre he'll no longer help with whatever he's planning after this.)

[kuruna]

Hmm... AZ seeing Lys in his "King Lysandre" outfit and just recoiling in Disgust ......

[kuruna]

My idea for making Sina and Dexio more memorable was to make them Diantha's apprentices rather than Sycamore's lab assistants 😭 like it makes more sense for her to be sending out guys to help you than it does Sycamore, she's a busy woman! ....... They would still be Sycamore's friends though. Of course.

I think it would work with their Mysterious Disguises, like they're wanna-be sentai action heroes who are using you and your adventure as a way of practicing their acting and being questionably helpful all the while. Wait what do you mean their names are Latin for Left and Right come on now 💔

[kuruna]

Imagine a snooty guy who feels bitter about his family having Squandered it's legacy and he has a jealous hatred towards Lucerne but Lucerne is only ever nice to the guy. And it makes the guy feel even More bitter because he hates to admit that Lu is genuinely a lovely individual. And because of it he has a hard time saying "No" when Lucerne asks him for stuff 😭

Okay since I made an OC version of the Guy Who Owns Parfum Palace I may make an OC version of the guy who owns Shabboneau Castle too 😑😑

[kuruna]

Hmm ... Lys originally tried to buy the flute off the owner but they refused so he asked Lucerne for help since the people of Camphrier trust him ... But then after the research on it is done and it's returned to its original owner... It gets stolen not too long after >:D by team flare of course . To run further experiments on the strange material that composed it 🙏🏾
