#Avian au

[saltynsassy31]

This wasn't supposed to be more than a sketch, but I started to listen to "First Song," and it compelled me to finish this, lol. I'm not exactly happy with it, though. But it's not bad either, so I shall release it to the wild 🥲

I haven't posted anything for this au since the first post, yall I swear I got stuff in the works 😭

If yall wanna know more, though, I'd gladly yap if anyone sends asks or whatever 👀

With an impressive wingspan measuring nearly 5 meters, Dutch avian Max Verstappen is widely regarded as one of the top in endurance aerial racing. The downside of such large wings? After a race, it takes two people up to an hour to preen all his feathers. “Of course, sometimes walking around it is easy to accidentally knock things over,” he adds.

CW: amputation

Tim was born with wings.

There were tiny at first, so small the doctors didn’t even notice. It was after a few months the little nubs became visible and as soon as they noticed, that was it. They were growing.

By two years old they were three times his size and he wasn’t allowed to leave the house. His parents own a medical company yet they couldn’t figure out how the hell such a deformity could ever exist. They hired very specific doctors to help them and forced them to sign NDA’s, though even if they did people would probably just think it was usual Gotham horse shit.

So, they cut them off.

At two years old his wings were removed and shut away in a box in the basement and after that, Tim Drake stopped being the happy little boy he was. His second year of life was spent in agony as the wounds healed and he learnt to walk again without the normal weight, and that slight discomfort and phantom pain didn’t leave even after he met Batman.

It got worse when he became Robin and knew he was hiding his two disgusting humerus bone nubs left protruding his middle back.

He manages to keep it hidden for several years, but it’s when he’s newly seventeen that he gets hit too bad. A grenade he managed to dodge the explosion from, but that knocked him off a roof and onto a railing.

It’s agony as he lands on his left and feels his ribs shatter and snap, but luckily he passes out and doesn’t feel much of it.

Unfortunately, that also means he can’t insist on doing his own medical assessment like he usually does and Alfred and Dick do it themself.

Alfred notices first and freezes, which makes Dick come over to see.

Neither of them have the chance to hide it from Bruce who surpassingly accepts it quickly and is instead crushed that his son didn’t trust him with such a vital part of he he is.

Tim tells them the real story when he wakes and admits that’s why he didn’t take his parents house after they died and just left it vacant, so he wouldn’t have to accidentally find the bones of his lost life.

When Jason and Dick go with him, Damian as well though he tries to say it’s because he’s bored when really he doesn’t want to be left out on his brothers new chapter.

As requested, Jason goes to find the box for him and he finds it after an hour of looking, only… the wings haven’t decayed.

They’re also moving.

[astermagnolia]

if the batfam were birds what kind of birds would they be each? And what kind of mers would the dp cast be?

this is for a avian/mer dp x dc future fic (that I won't write anytime soon) 😔

Edit: I JUST REMEMBERED ABOUT STYGIAN OWLS

So. Bruce = Stygian Owl

Tim = Magpie

Jason = Loggerhead shrike

Steph = purple-throated carib

Dick = Crescent-caped lophorina (the blue bird in the reblog)

Cass and Damian will also be some kind of owls. Damian because he biologically related to Bruce and Cass cause she's the most silent.

So that leaves Duke

[sunflowers-and-scales]

beanix wright more like bluenix ami wright

(this is kind of avian au so uhhhh @okartichoke)

[localleyendeckerenthusiast]

was compelled to make somethin for @saltynsassy31's avian au

[saltynsassy31]

*drags myself through the floor and slams this down*

I present to you

FULLMETAL BARTENDERS AVIAN AU

Divine Nugget Au

(Rant as to why I chose the White-throated Needletail as Blurr's bird and some minor AU lore under the cut)

And that's not all! It comes with a FULL FLEDGED COMIC!!!!!

I spent a whole fucking week on this

I haven't done a comic in 4 years now, I can't believe this is my come-back XD. Though, on that note, know that I probably won't be pumping out any more comics - not any time soon, at least. But I do got more stuff planned for this au! If you ask about it, I'll 100% rant about it LOL

Tw// ⚠️mild gore in the 3rd panel⚠️

While exploring the woods with his team, Swerve had an unfortunate encounter with a crazed hunter. In an attempt to escape, he got injured, but it seems he wasn't the only one caught in the crossfire...

.

.

Okay

So when you look up what the fastest bird in the world is, Google with show the Peregrin Falcom

But there's a catch

The Peregrine is only fast when diving

When it dives to catch its prey, it can go up to 389km/h

Which yeah, pretty fast

But when casually flying, it only goes up to 120 iirc

The Needle Tail?

It can go up to 170km/h

Some have even recorded going over 300! (Close to the Falcon's dive, I believe)

Additionally, these birds only fly. Their habitat is literally listed as "the air," and some even believe they sleep while flying! They only ever land to brood and mate, and then they're off again. Their legs are so short that, if they ground, they can't fly again because it doesn't give enough room to flap their wings.

It fits Blurr perfectly!

It also has a blue-ish colour pattern I can work with lol (it's green, but it looks blue, lol)

Though, also, he isn't 100% like the Needle Tail, just based off of it. I still want avians to be sorta their own species and doesn't have to be exactly like their bird counterparts cuz they aren't them, they're their own thing.

That said, Blurr is one of the shortest from Avians population, still.

They're pretty big.

Another trivial detail of the design!

I was stuck between having his arms be his wings or have them be separate

Until I saw a drawing where they had both, and I realised, "Wait, why isn't that done more often! That's so cool!"

So that's sorta what I did

It's mainly to catch small prey when grounded and to stay better perched up on trees since they're much bigger and having extra fingers helps a lot. Or when they're climbing against a tree to pick up fruits, it gives them an extra boost and can better hang from it

But they're pretty much useless besides that lol

Just neat lil design choice

Other lore stuff. The time in which the au takes place is vaguely modern? But with fantasy aspects? I still haven't decided lol

Technology exists, but not in the way we have it sort of deal, idk, this au is pretty bare bones right now, so go wild with it XD I don't mind it, I love brainstorming it with people. I know this au isn't as big or complex as some others out there, but it's fun, and I hope yall like it too fjsjajaj

[videnrambles]

Been having thoughts about an au where Yuuji gains wings (and maybe other bird traits) at some point and just becomes really good at flying. I also like the idea of him developing some bird habits like:

He starts perching on Gojo's shoulders cus he likes being tall

Gojo buys him one of those nest beds with giant egg pillows

he starts preening Nobara and Megumi's hair whenever they cuddle

when he gets tired he mixes up human and bird speech

shields the other first years with his wings whenever they go up against a curse that they underestimated

Goes on some httyd type flights and has a "Sukuna you need to see this" type moment where Sukuna opens his eyes to the most gorgeous sunrise and landscape ever

Sukuna enjoying flights and keeping his eyes open during them after that

For Halloween (fuck shibuya arc, all my homies hate it) Todo dresses as a pirate and Yuuji is his parrot.

Whenever Yuuji gets mad he finds the highest tree branch, ignores everyone, and pretends to be a bird. The only way to get him down is to wait out the anger or have the person who wronged him do an interpretive dance apology.

When fighting flying curses that are larger in size, Yuji can preform a falcon "stoop" (basically diving at speeds of 200mph and hiting prey)

Just bird Yuji being a silly little bird boi

Some long haired vash from the avian AU as a treat

[cosmique-oddity]

oh my gosh I somehow missed the seeker thrine bird post—perfect choice for Starscream by the way. Had a handful of encounters with gulls,those fuckers can SCREAM

now all I can imagine is a gull screaming at a blue footed boobie(muehehehe) and a crow,while the two are just acting like it isn’t even happening

Meanwhile there’s a harpy eagle in the background just questioning his life choices and if it’s too early to go into a retirement home

They are so done with their scrieching leader.....

[moonlit-dreamers]

avian au drabble

for context, they r teens in this. when they first met they had a small language barrier and i wanted to write a small bonding moment

Sun doodles with his claw in the soft sand by the shore of the lake.

"Whatcha drawing?" Moon looks over curiously.

"Nothing much!" Sun giggles. "Just some random stuff."

Moon nods and watches quietly. On days when the sky is cloudy with the sun peaking through they enjoy going by the lake. It isn't too bright or too hot so they can safely stay out of the shade without burning up.

Moon decides he wants to make his own doodles. He's never been as good at art as Sun, but he still enjoys the occasional mindless sketching.

He carefully circles his claw in the sand. It's easy to move around and its damp enough to not just fly away and ruin the drawing. He smiles and draws a simple flower.

Sun looks up and chirps something that Moon doesn't understand.

"What?" Moon looks up at Sun.

Sun makes the same chirping sound and points at Moon's drawing.

"Flower?" Moon tilts his head.

"Is that how you say it?" Sun tilts aer head as well.

"Is that what youre saying?"

Sun nods enthusiastically and makes the same chirping sound.

Flower.
