"Reverse AU Crowley" aka "The Duke" - When falling once isn't good enough.

AAAND action- second lore dump. This one might be more intense because I did not want to spoil the other one too much, however, as this one is primarily an rp only sort of deal (for now) I won't care too much about what I say. A lof ot his story was developed with @odd-godwine and you can go check some rps for these two idiots both there, my angel Crowley blog and on this blog :) For starters: Crowley did not fall during the war. He did ask the questions, or tried to, and he DID join the army with Lucifer. He murdered an angel right in front of Aziraphale. It was self defense. Crowley himself was badly hurt and dying. Aziraphale could only save one, and chose to save his starmaker. In the coming trial, Aziraphale, being the only witness to Crowley's crimes, claimed them as his own and fell in his stead. In spite of being an Archangel, Crowley was silenced during the trial, and then outcast. Trust was at an all time low after that. Nobody really wanted to associate with Raphael, who was pulled from the creation project, away from his stars, and left to wander. And wander he did, all the way to Eden. Missing a principality to be the guardian, Raphael rummaged around humanity, finding Adam and Eve rather entertaining, and possibly tempting them into eating the forbidden apple. After all, it would only be right for humanity to know right and wrong. His fallen Aziraphale took that sin upon themselves too.

Eventually, they formed a sort of symbiotic relationship. Anything good the demon would do, the angel would claim to be his work, and vice versa. But it wouldn't always be this easy, or simple.

Soon, Raphael would become too attached to his demon, as he did with anything he loved, and eventually, that love led to a sin he could never undo, and he was accused of working for opposite sides. His demon could not save him, and the angel that should have fallen ages ago, was finally cast down.

Shortly thereafter, he entered another trial, to uplift the demon he fell for, which he no longer remembered into heaven, and it was by his word that it was denied. Hell kept them both on a leash, a short one too, until they realised they could keep both dogs on a leash if they made them fight each other. It was much easier to breed hate than it was to control love.

And so, they took his memories. They lashed him in the dark, and they whispered awful lies into his ear, until the angel Raphael disappeared, and the Demon Crowley was all that remained. He was good at his job, having nothing else to live for, until he met his fallen friend once more. His promotion came after many an incident, and garnered a reputation in earthly matters, all of which were only caused due to interference oh his fallen friend. They'd become lovers once more, in secret, and this time, Crowley swore, he would not let anyone keep them apart.

So he lied. He lied to everyone, put on a mask, let them change and shape him into the demon they wanted, all so he could be with his own. They ordered him to carry out punishments against the only one he ever loved. And so he did. For their own sake. It hurt, and it wasn't the kind of pain he could ever forget. Whatever remained of the angel that fell to see his lover had given way to a bitter, cruel Duke of Hell that would do anything to keep his lover around, even if that meant hurting them.

My Hero Academia: Timekeeper AU

The Basics:

• The Main Character is an OC named Makana Koenke ((Pronounced: Makenna Kinky)) and she is 16 years old.

• She is the most beautiful girl in all of UA, simply because of her angelic features and long, flowing, Ginger-Red hair.

• Ends up in a Poly Relationship with Bakugo, Midoriya and Todoroki.

•This AU ties to the Mutliverse theory and includes many characters.

The Time Quirk:

Time is a rare quirk that no one on Earth knows about. If anyone acquired the Time Quirk, they are taken to the Timekeeper’s temple to train to be Timekeepers. To protect the Sacred Timeline and serve The Gods. You can do practically anything convenient with it, including opening portals any time and anywhere to any universe.

People with the Time Quirk are basically Angels that fight for the Gods of every mythology and religion. Here, all of them exist and co-exist with each other.

Makana’s Backstory:

Makana’s past is truly a dark one, her parents passed away due to natural causes when she was 6 years old. That was also the time she had her quirk awakening. The Time Quirk. Once it happened, she blacked out and didn't remember what had happened. But once she came to, a strange man came into their house via portal to pick her up. She was whisked away to The Timekeeper’s Temple, where she would spend the next 7 years of her life training to be a Timekeeper.

Over those 7 years, she had learned so much, she absorbed all the information about the sacred timeline and how important it was. Learning about the history and secrets of the multiverse wasn’t bad. However, once she started fight training, it was where it all went downhill.  It seemed the Egyptian God, Seth, saw potential in Makana, and sought her out to make her his apprentice. He taught her all of her fighting skills, however there was something sinister happening behind the scenes. He groomed her to be violent and with killer instincts. And Makana knew this was all wrong, morally, physically and mentally. She began to rebel against Seth. And that would be the biggest mistake she would ever make in her life. The God of war, Chaos, and evil began to beat her and abuse her physically and mentally. She was brutally beaten numerous times and was sent to the infirmary multiple times. Makana spent 3 years of absolute torture and hell. 

One Day, Makana began to fight back against Seth and once she was near victory at just 10 years old, Seth made her regret everything. He opened a portal and threw her into it. It was a giant snake pit. Filled with venomous snakes of several kinds. Including Cobras, Walterinnesia aegyptia, etc. Makana landed on them and was bitten over 200 times, every inch of her body was covered in snake bites. Makana died instantly, however, Isis managed to catch Seth in the act and rescued her. However, it was already too late. Makana was covered in bites, blood, and over 5 pints of venom made her heart stop immediately. Her blood was as thin as water. Her body was mutilated and destroyed. She was brought to the infirmary, and all of her friends were mourning her death. Clockwork then walks in and uses their God power and resurrects Makana back to life. However, Makana was not grateful to be brought back to life. As she was recovering from her permanent injuries, Makana snuck out of the infirmary. She was at her breaking point. All she wanted was to go home to her family. She goes to Clockwork, crying, mentally scarred, and hysterical. She was on her hands and knees, begging for them to take their quirk away. She was crying, screaming, still covered in blood, and feeling sick. However, despite all of her pleas, Clockwork refused to look at her and refused to take her quirk away. After about an hour of pleading, Makana was taken back to the infirmary to continue her treatments. As she was taken out of the room, she saw Clockwork cry blood. It was the first time that Clockwork had cried. Makana would never forget this day. For a while, Makana had trouble sleeping and was experiencing strange and often violent nightmares. She was also throwing up constantly and refusing to eat a single thing. All she would consume was water. Over time, Makana was losing weight and was considered underweight. But She tried to continue her training like normal with a new teacher. However, her health was deteriorating. 

One Night, Makana had enough. If Clockwork wouldn’t make her quirkless, she was going to take her own life. She figured death by hanging was the only option for her. Because her neck would snap, and it would be all over quickly. However, right when the noose was around her neck and tightened and she was about to jump off the chair, she heard a scream and looked over to where it came from, and it was a boy with green fluffy hair and big green eyes. He had freckles as well. He was looking right at her and was screaming and crying, begging her not to do it. That wasn’t worth it. Makana had no idea who this boy was, but he was trying to save her. His pleas made her snap out of it for five whole minutes, and she was so curious about this boy. She acknowledged that he was cute, and he made her blush when she saw his adorable face. Once her vision ended, she was now determined to find out who this boy was. She removed the noose from her neck and got down from the chair. 

Finally, after the Council talks it over, they make the tremendous decision to let Makana go home for a while. Makana was sent home to her older brother who had a daughter and was now a celebrity chef. He was so happy to have her home, and he was so heartbroken to see the state they returned her in. 

In the span of 6 months, Makana was able to restore her healthy weight because of his cooking, and much to Jack’s disdain, Makana was to return to the temple to finish her training. Makana spends the rest of her training figuring out who that boy was. The boy’s name was Izuku Midoriya, and she found out so much about him. How he was quirkless and bullied for being quirkless. Over time, Makana formed a crush on Izuku. She wanted to meet him so badly. 

Makana turns 13 and she graduates from her training and becomes a full-fledged Timekeeper. Makana and her childhood friends, Daniel, Merida, and Yolana graduate at the same time they get their heads shaved and they get a Timekeeper symbol, a clock, tattooed on their foreheads right above their hairlines. Makana goes on her regular missions bald for a while before using all kinds of methods to grow out her hair. One year later, Makana started live-streaming on Twitch as a way for her to pass the time. She started with 3 average viewers, then it grew more and more, and suddenly, Makana grew over 500K followers on all of her social media and Twitch. Makana’s friends also joined Twitch at this time, and they got the same viewership and followers. All the while, Makana was keeping tabs on Izuku Midoriya and saw him on top of his middle school building getting ready to jump. Makana used her quirk to speak inside his head. “Izuku! Wait! Please don’t do this!” Izuku looked up and looked around to find the voice, however he was alone. “You don’t know me, but I know you! I see you. You are special! Please don’t jump and take your own life, it’s not worth it! Instead, use your kindness to your advantage!” “Where are you?!” Izuku asked. “Find me in the future!” The voice said and then disappeared. Makana knew she helped him snap out of it and he got off the ledge. Izuku kept this whole debacle to himself and hoped he would meet the female voice in the future. And they do meet. After Bakugou gets kidnapped by the League of Villains. And this is where her story truly will shine through.

Falling in love with an outer god

(Just wanted to imagine what it’d look like if Mel took a draconic form in front of Lazuli. I guess it’d be more voidy and nightmarish in game cause of the Fallen Aasimar of the Awful Deep thing, but let’s just say that Mel could also be related to a golden dragon who was also Pelor’s favorite so… 👀 I wanted to try a fairytale/medieval vibe here, kinda happy with how it turned out! Melisande belongs to @the-nothing-maker ❤️)

[avianoutcast]

Excuse me, may I kindly ask?

Have you seen my brother? His name is Dream. They're a skeleton just like me but taller and wears a yellow cape.

..No? You haven't seen one?...

...oh okay....Thank you for your time.

Time for a little oc time. My darling Hush be upon ye.

In her TF1 form, she was designed to be a mix between Soundwave and Airachnid in an attempt to make the perfect spymaster. The experiment was deemed a failure and Hush has lived her entire life in Airachnid's shadow, much to her chagrin. She was, however, primarily and mostly lovingly raised by Soundwave, at least up until the fall of the Primes.

Well a tiny silly au started spinning in my head since I drew goth john

In this au arthur and his boyfriends form a goth band in the 80s! And yeah. I called them the boykissers.

YOU WILL PROBABLY HEAR MORE OF IT SINCE IT REFUSES TO LEAVE MY BRAIN

"Starscream and his spark-split siblings were supposed to be made into speakers directly following their forging. However, due to mismanagement, they were late to arrive at their respective positions. The Starscream we know took to his position as Speaker for Vos... very poorly." - Rewind, Sanctioned Recorder

Lore below the cut.

City Speakers are always chosen from amongst a very rare selection of Cybertronians. Due to a desire to keep the Titans from becoming political tools, Speakers are required to be spark split twins or triplets. The long standing belief is that if the Speakers are spark split, they will be less likely to turn their Titans into political weapons or scheme against each other. It has worked well enough, and so the tradition has held.

Before they inherited their names and T-cogs, Starscream and his brothers were miners. Due to an influx of newbuilds coming out looking quite similar, no one suspected the triplets to be spark split. And so, no one was ever informed that there were new Speakers ready to be taken and trained. For centuries, the triplets were simple workers and close as could be. That only changed after a chance encounter with a high ranking cogged bot gave them away.

They were promptly taken by the Speakers of that era, separated, and trained to serve and speak on the behalf of their particular Titan. Starscream got the short end of the stick in being given to Vos. Due to his Titan being one of Cybertron's best kept secrets, Starscream had to be both the Winglord and the Speaker at the same time without revealing the latter position. Normally, these roles would align well. But Vos has been flying for millennia, and the ancient Titan is in constant pain due to the overpopulation of his frame. Titans cannot fully comprehend pain, and thus, more often than not, Speakers for Vos can constantly hear him screaming.

It is maddening, and the only reason Starscream hasn't gone mad is due to the time he spent in the mines hardening him mentally. With that said, his predecessor was not a kind teacher (being half mad himself). Starscream carries scars to this very day.

💡 recent idea, no TWs

AUs: Isekai God!Reader in SAGAU and SAHSRAU

Pronouns: only ‘you’

Tldr; You seem to have different forms in SAGAU (genshin) and SAHSRAU (honkai star rail). Here’s why.

Yes, they are somewhat of sister universes, but the crowd’s perception of you is also distinct from each other.

Possible Explanation 1: as a way for the World to involve you and for people to have a familiar image to ‘invoke’.

Possible Explanation 2: the Magic is different, Genshin’s Elemental while HSR’s more similar to Physics (See: Quantum).

Possible Explanation 3: the way you get to these two AUs started same but something about the warp (travelling) there adapted differently.

Possible Explanation 4: irl 3D to irl 2D goes crazy

Possible Explanation 5: technical abilities vary, better tech = better early access view of you (includes translating your words in communication)

A few special folks could bypass some limits of perceiving you clearly. They could be:

Genshin’s Descenders. Not impossible for aliens from mutual worlds to see each other better. The more places a descender had been, the bigger chance they can be better at seeing you.

HSR’s Aha. He’s seen that the world is a sandbox game and ascended to Aeonhood, he can maybe see a clearer, more you-resembling form. You decide how clear his view of you can get, with your power privileges.

What the heck. More Role Swap stuff

And some lore. Because why not.

Swap!Noah and Heather fucking hate each other. There is no love, not even the chance of a friendship. Noah thinks of her as a insect, a loser who couldn't get win the two seasons before (He watched Total Drama before to search for the other's weaknesses). And Heather wants to kick him off the plane herself after the Leshawna Incident.

The thing is that Noah is smart. 180 IQ, that good stuff. Team Victory were the easiest team to destroy. Yeah, a pair of strong competitors were there, but getting rid of them would be easy peasy if he got into the heart of the team, the strongest player. And that was Leshawna.

It was not that easy to get into her good graces, since he didn't posess the natural charm and looks that canon Alejandro has, but what he had was a brain, and a manipulative personality like no other.

"You know, Leshawna. I know it's a bit soon, but I think of you as a sibling. A big sister."

He hated his sisters. She didn't need to know that, of course. And oh, Heather tried so hard to warn her, to be a good pal and tell her that Noah was up to no good. But some fake tears and few words were enough to make the big girl go feral on the white pretty girl.

And there was nothing but pure, smug satisfaction while he saw the beatdown. There was probably something wrong with him. Did he care? Not really.

Bonus: Noah's sweden Sour outfit and some alenoah because fuck yes

Yuri swap heavily inspired by hexxed by lonleybrachiobrute (triceratroops), bruh I loved that fic. awooga.

"In a Vulcan where Reform did not happen, a young James T. Kirk walks aimlessly through the Royal Palace in ShiKahr when suddenly an unknown force calls to him. He is there as a gracious guest and he should not intrude in this way, but he does not hesitate when he opens the big golden doors he was powerfully drawn to.

In front of him he finds what, in that very instant, he realised he had been looking for his whole life.

Spock, the Crown Prince of Vulcan."

Hi 👋 I have a few technical questions for the self aware au for HOTD, if you wouldn’t mind me asking.

Does the world just… stop if we pause the tv? If I rewind a scene bc of whatever reason would that give then motion sickness? Back on pausing the show, does the world stop but the character don’t? Like if I paused the tv and started talking to someone about whatever, is Aemond crossing his arms and tapping his shoes while pouting? WOULD MUTING THEM ACTUALLY MAKE THEM MUTE??

Are the dragons jealous if we talk about dragons from other forms of media? I have loyalty to Paarthurnax for best dragon 😅 ooo what If we had a Skyrim tattoo? Imagine comparing lore?

And lastly, how would they react if we had started watching game of thrones? I like to try to rewatch stuff in chronological order if prequels or branching media gets made, I like to see the chain of events you know? Would the self awareness spread to more of that verse bc of that? Can we pull John Snow?

Sorry for the wall of text and rambling, I love LOVE self aware aus and love learning more about them

Let me retrieve my sacred lore scroll.

retrieves it.

For every rule I lay down here—they can be broken under one circumstance: if the character is completely self-aware. None of the characters I have written so far have gotten to that point. Complete self-awareness may drive any of them to insanity.

(1) Does the world stop if we pause the tv?

That version of the world stops. So that canon timeline is still there, but other things are happening off screen. They are subconsciously led back to the plot when the television is unpaused again.

(2) If I rewind a scene because of whatever reason—would that give then motion sickness?

It erases their memory and gives them a sense of deja vu. They prod inside of their mind but it's like a wall has been put up inside of their minds.

If the character is already predisposed to motion borne illnesses then they would get motion sickness.

Example. If Aegon II was incredibly drunk and you rewinded a part he was in it'd make him feel like he was going to throw up. However, he wouldn't actually throw up because he wasn't as drunk/or drunk at all (depending on how much your rewound) at that time.

(3) Would muting them actually make them mute?

Yes, it would. They would be talking in their world and wouldn't be able to understand how you aren't listening.

If they found out how to work the volume then you'd be screwed. Some may be able to do this unintentionally, while others would have to be more self-aware to unlock the ability.

Dreamers are more likely to be self-aware due to their inante abilities. So Helaena would it without even realizing it.

(4) Are the dragons jealous if we talk about dragons from other forms of media? —Imagine comparing lore.

Yes and no. It depends on the dragon's personality. If you were head over heels for another dragon in another form of media then any one of them would be jealous. If you just enjoy the dragons in that verse then some of them are okay with it.

Example(s). Vhagar would be okay with you liking other dragons as long as you liked her the most. Vermithor goes into a rage anytime you so much as mention another dragon in a positive context.

(5) How would they react if we had started watching game of thrones?

Confused at first. Since hotd is the prequel to got they'd be very puzzled. Then they'd be curious. If it took up all of your time then they'd be angry. There would already be an undercurrent of jealousy, but there's also a superiority complex there.

"We were here before them."

"Without us they wouldn't exist."

Them meaning got characters.

(6) Would the self awareness spread to more of that verse because of that?

When consuming any form of their media it is like a portal is being opened up into their world. That's the crux of what helps them become self aware. There's usually a moment in their lives that spurs that on.

With the hotd characters already being insanely jealous that interference between the two media's would cause the self awareness to spread.

(7) The most important question—Can we pull Jon Snow?

Yes.

The shit that dude has been through? He has plenty of opportunities to become self aware. Having someone there for him, even passively, would cause him to become obsessive. Possibly a bit bitter because you aren't helping him until he realizes that you are physically unable to.

Don't 👏 be 👏 sorry. 👏 I love giving lore.

[arcanetoymakerau]

@tiny-chrys thank you so much for all the asks! They were really fun to doodle the answers <3 (This is the last ask answered with doodles for this month)

tm!Isha is getting everything her canon counterpart deserved 😭
