I think you mentioned brown eyes being rare in LIT. Aside from being rare, are there any other reasons why the Twisted Wonderland residents like brown eyes? Do people in LIT's world associate eye colours with personality traits like how people in real life associate blood types with personality traits? Love your writing btw!

OOOOOOOOOH SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED ABOUT THIS!!!!!

So, yes, the rarity does play a lot into how they are perceived, but you are correct in that there are certain associations made with those with brown eyes similar to those personality trait lists for blood type, zodiac, etc. They would absolutely exist in LiT!twst.

To properly appreciate this, let me tell you the science I have made up as for why such fantastical eye color exist in the first place:

So, yes, it is because magic exists, but it's specifically because magic is a biological process in twst. Magic is within the body, and when used, creates blot as a byproduct, and you get it from there. Therefore, magic has to have it's own sort of "veins" (I liken them to the Meridians, if you're familiar with Chinese media) that travel along the body. And that magic results in come other biological changes to contend with it.

This, therefore, results in the different "effects" one might see when it comes to people using magic: sparks crackling from the body when someone gets emotional, or eyes lighting up when strong magic used.

As eyes are a central part in some magics (see: Jamil and the Leech twins), this means that eyes too have developed certain aspects as a result of magic. To contend with the backlight that happens when certain magics activate in the eyes, they've become more prismatic, resulting in more fantastical colors. Like what happens when you hold a clear crystal up to a beam of light and a rainbow appears on the other side.

Brown is not a color found naturally on a rainbow, and so, in twst biology, is the most biologically natural color. It is the least magically altered color, and has become recessive due to that, because it is less protected from magic. (Those with brown eyes in twst often develop eye troubles.)

Finally, the answer to your question, the association made with those with brown eyes: they are a person who is natural. Who is grounded in reality and is their truest self. Who doesn't put on airs or social masks. They are who they present they are.

Brown is beautiful because it is simply natural.

This is going to be a word vomit, but there are some comparisons between Earth and Twisted Wonderland that I wanted to make based on souls and myths on what happens to souls in the afterlife. So I’m sorry for how long this will be🥺! For biology au, I feel that not only would Yuu be biologically different from everyone in Twisted wonderland, but also have a different soul structure. In Twisted wonderland, the color and shape of the soul is used to indicate the type of magic and how much magic someone would have. The color of souls that are used to separate people into their dorms are red, yellow/orange, light purple, dark purple, blue, and green. For ghost in Twisted Wonderland they look very cartoonish and have a different appearance than when they were alive. Meanwhile on Earth souls are very impossibly to see or to prove their existence, but the ghost here on Earth are much more terrifying looking. Not only do they have the same appearance when they were alive, they would also have the injuries/cause of death marks on them. Plenty examples are on YouTube, “Creepy Sentences said by Kids”. (there was this one kid making weird faces in their living room, when their parent asked why, the kid responded they were mimicking the woman with the long braid around her neck) Also, in varies religions (mostly in the big ones such as Christianity, Muslim, and Jewish) you’re soul is affected by the decisions of your actions like doing good deeds or committing sins. Another factor that could impact your soul is how you lived and died. (If you committed suicide you just doomed your soul to never passed on to the afterlife). Whatever action you take will affect the shape your soul and will be your indicator if you pass into heaven or hell. Imagine how funny it would be if Malleus and the doctors came up with another method to see Yuu’s soul, only for many doctors and some of their classmates to faint when they see something eldritch appear, like one of those biblical accurate angels staring back. (Yuu did help save the dorm leaders from dying when they over blotted and stayed friendly to them despite almost getting killed. I’m pretty sure Yuu earned big points in getting into heaven.) The people that would faint would be Trey, Ace, Cater (after taking a blurred photo) and maybe Riddle. The people who would be stunned would be Malleus, Lilia, and Silver. The people that would try to fight this would be Deuce and Sebek. Meanwhile Grim would most definitely hide or shoot fireballs.

I'm not gonna lie.

I've been daydreaming about the ghost thing as well for a while now but didn't think about putting it in this series.

This ask has now confirmed for me that I am not the only one who wonders if all ghosts in Twisted Wonderland look all cute and puffy like that. When I got the English version and played the prologue; then those ghosts in the mine start attacking us, I remember how scared Ace, Deuce and Grim got and thought: "Why are they this scared? These guys are all puffy and cute.

I was thinking about another au that I have in the works where Ace gets acidentally sent to Yuu's world whilst they are still in twisted wonderland. Until he is summoned back, he learns about Yuu's world through the people around him and the experiences he endures.

One of the scenarios of that series has Ace split off from the other people and encounters a ghost that is inspired by a ghost story I heard IRL. I kinda wanna work on my horror writing.

Them all fainting would be funny. They would never be able to look at Yuu the same way ever again.

Thank you for the ask. It was very entertaining to read.

DCXDP crossover where Danny ends up adopted by the bats for one reason or another, and they all know about his ghost powers/vigilantism but not the extent of it.

So one day they're all out patrolling Gotham, and one of Danny's rogues comes out, specifically one that's screaming about wearing his pelt on his wall. The bats go into protect mode obvs and scoop up Danny to try and shield him from this evil green glowy guy, only for Danny to flail around like a feral cat.

He's in Batman's arms like; "put me down, PUt mE dOwn, PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN!!"

and he bolts out of his arms to go and fight this guy and they are both absolutely feral! Biting and scratching and wailing, and just a whole bunch of freaky paranormal shit. To the bats this is the most desperate and destructive looking fight they've ever seen and they have no clue how to help. To Danny? The complete opposite.

In Danny's POV the whole interaction was completely friendly!

Skulker: Come out here, Phantom ! Come fight me so I can use your organs to build my throne !

Danny's vision: hey ghost boy 🥺🩷 let's go play outside 🥺🥺 plleeaaaseeee my mom said I can be out till the streetlights go off 🥺🥺

Danny: B you need to put me down !! Now !! I gotta go please ! Please !! You don't- you have to-- stop!! You don't understand, put me down!!"

Danny's vision: dad I wanna play too 🥺🥺 I'll be good I promise 🥺

The bats are obviously freaking out. They can't touch this guy and Danny is fighting for his afterlife ! Why can't they do anything ! Why are they so useless ??

After the fight Danny soups Skulker and descends back down to the bats. To them he looks beat. He looks scared. He's shaking now that he's back in B's arms, his eyes are droopy with exhaustion, but his pupils are still blown wide. They're all practically sick over him.

Meanwhile Danny is coming down from the equivalent of a sugar high or ghost zoomies. All that adrenaline is still coursing through his body making him shake, and the ghost fight after not facing a formidable opponent in a while, plus not having access to pure ecto like he had in Amity has left him sleepy.

He falls asleep in Batman's arms, making the bats think he passed out. When he detransforms in his sleep ? Oh, he must practically be dying again rn.

He wakes up in medbay confused. He just had the most fun he had in months. Why the fuck is he here ???

i had an idea but idk its a little out there. dipper is smart, but i was like him once and i think he’d get burnt out fast. mabel has been shown to be smarter than she lets on, as well as curious and interested in the strange and unusual.

relativity falls where mabel fell into the portal and dipper had to clean up and run the shack. mabel would adventure around space & time, surprisingly making lots of friends. theres a little short comic about how mabel went to the mabel dimension and allied with them to defeat evil mabel, so i think she’d be really good at making allies wherever she goes. also i’d really like to see mabel jumping over some frog dude as she runs from the time police.

dipper would be stuck at home, trying so hard to bring her back, while running the mystery shack, trying to balance all of these things and it overwhelms him to the point where he becomes a shut in, and nearly like a cryptid or urban legend he’d read about.

also your art is so gorgeous and cozy!!! i love it so much :D

IM SORRY I DIDNT DRAW MABEL JUMOUNG OVER A FROG DUDE

“Viltrumites are actually aliens Mark (cuz I love the weird, body horror, and oviposition :3c)”

Me: (leans forward in chair, putting hands together) yes, please tell more of this Mark that includes weird, body horror and especially oviposition 🙏

I honestly would love to hear how Mark treats normal Reader and their eggs. Would Mark being the one to carry them or Reader? 🤔

“Viltrumites are actually aliens” Mark Grayson 

Honestly, this au only comes from me being a fiend who likes monsters. This has no good solid background yet, its just me being annoying. Its also mostly me rambling about oviposition... 

So like, aliens, huh?  

Im always a big sucker for aliens who take a human form to fit in, so imagine that viltrumites are like that. Their true forms are hard to comprehend and understand, so they take a human-like shape to be easier to perceive. 

Mark would have a more solid human form compared to other viltrumites because of his mom. Other viltrumites would be just kinda, blank to look at, kinda like dolls with no pores or inperfections. 

Marks less human attributes start showing after he gains his powers. Like him losing all his teeth at once, only to be replaced with a new pair that just... bursts out through his gums. They look the exact same but... they feel different. 

His tongue becomes a lot looser, bendable and can extend or shrink.  

His joints become extremely loose, like he can stretch his limbs beyond human levels, and sometimes it just looks like he doesnt have bones inside, just liquid. Flexible beyond belief, and doesnt technically need to breathe air. 

Mark realizes he doesnt need to eat or drink to survive, he has no idea what he actually runs on but he keeps going, he also keeps eating and drinking for comfort. 

Mark realizing he can rip himself open, survive and just watch his guts move about. His insides move around for comfort and safety, like, all his vital parts crawl up into his ribcage during fights.  

Viltrumites having more than one heart, but they arent perceivable by human standards, and they form a “heart” to fit the body standard they take. 

Marks eyes reflecting light like animals when you take pictures with flash on.  

Now, on to the oviposition. 

Actual alien viltrumites producing eggs to breed and further their species. Technically they could breed in a more human way, but their bodies much prefer eggs, both laying and carrying. 

Mark carries an “egg-sack” in his abdomen, kinda like a uterus. It doesn't really do anything unless his body is like “yo, mate, mates ready, mates fertile, go go go! Eggs! EGGS!!” and then start producing as quickly as possible because of their biology wanting to breed as much as possible. 

Mark starts having cramps, hes not really sure what it is in the beginning, maybe he just thinks hes stressed or constipated, until he wakes up and god fuck his dick is aching. It doesnt outright hurt but its uncomfortable, and so so wet. 

He would og into something like a heat or a rut, but its not completely like omegaverse. Instead, he starts sweating, salivating, his insides feel looser, his skin doesnt fit the same. His jaw feels uneven, he bites hard into his pillow cuz his jaws just clamp shut like an alligator.  

Mark would have no idea why hes aching but so fucking horny, his dick feels so heavy and his balls ache. Before he knows it, hes stumbled and flown to where the reader is staying, feeling like a salivating wolf. 

Actual alien vilrumite Mark tumbling in through the window, crumbling onto the floor and just immediately humping the carpet cuz the whole room smells like mate. His abdomen hurts even more, and it feels kind alike he has to pee but its so mcuh heavier and bigger. 

Insert reader being like, “what the hell is going on mark?”, and helping him up. The crotch of his shorts is just soaked, and when they finally get them wrestled down to check whats up, reader notices how flushed and wet Marks cock is. 

His slit looks raw and open, like, wide enough that you could push a finger inside and wiggle is about. Mark just starts rubbing his face into readers shoulder, drooling and whimpering, begging for the reader to take his ovum, cuz somehow his animal brain knows what it is. 

Readers not gonna let him just do whatever, cuz hes really out of it, so it just ends up with them on the bed, both sitting on their knees, marks back against the readers chest. And reader is just... kinda milking his dick into some container of some kind. 

The eggs are orbs, a bit bigger than a marble. Theyre solid but has a squishiness to them when you press on them. They are a cloudy white in color, and Marks cum is extra sticky when hes like this.  

The entire time, Mark is crying, both because it feels good, but also because hes so heartbroken that you won't take his ovum. He made them just for you, why won't you take them? Wasnt he so good for you? There are so many, there must be some that are good enough for you to take them, right? 

Later, you guys figure out through a lot of experimentation, that Mark starts producing “ovum” when you are “extra fertile”. It takes a while to figure out when this is, but apparently its if you jerk off and dont wash the evidence off, cuz the scent makes Marks biology go “oh, our mate must be ready for our clutch”. 

I think you guys also can change where the eggs go, like, if you top and Mark bottoms, then his body starts realizing “hey, we arent planting eggs anywhere, our mate is trying to inseminate ours” and then starts keeping them in his egg sack. Youd have to dock him to fertilize them though. 

Hes always losing control of his more human shape when this goes on, and you can mostly tell because he starts panting with his tongue out, and its long enough to lick his own chest without him even trying.

Always ends up with some really deep tongue kissing, cuz he ends up losing control of his tongue.

He might also just get extra worked up during spring, mostly cuz his body is going “oh, everyone else is fucking and breeding, we should too” 

He also just gets more red, like, hes sweating, flushed like hes been working out, but his sweat doesnt smell bad. Mark would get more clingy too, snuffling at the readers armpits, or anywhere else his sweat is strong, cuz thats where the readers scent is concentrated.

Prompt 41

Hear me out, DP and DC crossover where Scarecrow is cousins with the Fentons. 

 His mother was siblings with Jack’s father, and both Jazz and Danny met ‘Uncle Jonathan’ during one of the many Fenton-Nightingale family reunions that happens every few years. Honestly, perhaps it’s what gets Jazz interested in psychology, hearing from her ‘uncle’ about fear and its effects.

 And honestly once they start having to deal with ghosts and having had to deal with their parents for years it’s not really hard to talk with their uncle. Crane still doesn’t know how he became these kids’ favorite uncle, or even all of the family kids’ favorite uncle-cousin, but that’s just how the family is. 

 Really he’s not even the only villain of the family, with both Jack and Maddie being close but not quite, even if they’re definitely mad scientists. Their son becoming a local hero, even if they’re not aware of that fact, is just ironic. 

 John knows. The two kids told him when they found out that Danny may or may not need to feed on fear now that he’s half ghost, and well he’s the specialist about the emotion so…

 At least they have someone to stay with when Jazz goes to Gotham university and brings Danny with her, even if the local vigilantes are concerned as to why Scarecrow attacks have suddenly took a nosedive…

Fish Squish featuring a blep In a weird way, I think Luis gives him cuteness aggression. It really does take all of Leon not to bite him- poor squishy soft human thing.

This is my mermaid x marine biologist Byler AU and I love them so much.

I’m sorry I disappeared 😔 I’ve been trying to focus on school and college applications but hopefully I’ll have more time to draw soon!! Please enjoy this silly AU in the mean time <3

The spiciest pepper in the world was created by a guy trying to cure cancer because capsaicin can kill cancer cells, and then it became fun food for people who love eating stuff that can kill your cells a freakish amount, and I think that’s the kind of shenanigans Marcille should be thrown into in modern AUs

haha guess who got too into turning an infodump into a comic ... meeee. this took twelve hours lol

aaanyway, i think i might turn this into a series! different characters explain lore and worldbuilding stuff to you! what would you like explained next? :D

I saw an art post that was based off someone's theory of Twisted Wonderland's planet being small.

It would definitely contradict your headcannon of earth humans being weaker, but it is still funny to think about.

That's both fascinating and absolutely hilarious 😂

Now, when it comes to biology au things, I wouldn't really call them actually theories, so much as it's poking at things that happened in canon and going "Hey, wouldn't this be interesting?" I've even seen a theory of the opposite, with Yuu being a lot stronger than twst folk, also with full on mathematical calculations, based on the scene of Yuu being knocked unconscious with the magift disc at the end of Savanaclaw chap!

I don't apply them to my fic unless I have reason to, it's all more poking fun at tropes and seeing the science that would be needed to make it possible! People flexing their science skills like this is always really cool to see Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

[silverstagspirit]

I have read the Yuu the scientific phenomenon, and I'm not sure if I send the ask, because I have memory problems.

But the idea of some of like dangerous food being commonly eaten, and Yuu not eating because it contains a lot more poison. Also, funfact bamboos can be poison especially bamboo shoots, that's why some people have to cook it, aka boil the poison out of it (atleast based on YT Shorts of Vietnamese person living in Germany). Because I wonder what food are poison in Twisted but isn't at out world (aka the grandillas), and what food that are like delicacies but Yuu will straight up die, if they eat it.

Also, you know that there is a place in our world where the gravity is a bit funky. Like really funky.

Tho, I know that Twisted have chilli's, but have they ever have the straight up fucked up chilli's that by just looking makes you cry (exaggerating ik). But Yuu just eating it being yummy and borderline calling the fire department, and going to the bathroom.

Speaking of bathroom, lactose intolerance, depending on where Yuu lives, they might have better lactose tolerance or worse. So Yuu going to bathroom, is just pain.

Also, what about peeps who have genetic mutation where cilantro taste bitter or like soap.

The lactose intolerant part has already been discussed on the biology tag.

But the Cilantro thing jogged a memory from my past. If you'd like to hear it, here it is:

That's the end of the story

We had a vegetable garden that was made in raised, wooden beds. My Dad had made these troughs with his own carpentry skills. And one time, we had grown Cilantro in it. During that time, though, a large rainstorm hit, and the raised bed's flooring collapsed. Me and my brother and I had to go out and save the plants from being washed away. But when I got to the Cilantro, I was hit with literally one of the worst smells in my entire life. It was so strong. And at the time, I didn't know what was causing it. I was being handed the uprooted Cilantro plants to put in a bucket. But I noticed that some of the plants had a transparent slime at their roots. And I realized the smell was coming from them. (The smell was actually so bad that I had to step away and take a few breaths every couple of seconds) If I had to describe the smell, it would be: if a bag of chlorine got together with decaying plant matter. After that whole dilemma, maybe some time later or right afterward with the same plants, my mom made butterchicken. She put in the cut-up Cilantro with the chicken, and I ate it. Let's just say I did not like it, then proceeded to spend the next fifteen minutes picking all of the Cilantro out of my bowl.

As for the other bits:

The funky gravity part had me thinking about something I heard in science fiction. That, if humans were to live on Mars, they would become super tall and have very pale skin. Imagine a Yuu that lives on an Earth that has already made it to Mars and has people living there. And they're just another country to us.

The boys coming to Earth and passing by someone who had immigrated to Earth from Mars:

"So the next stop is that way. We better get moving if we want to—"

"Waaaarrghh?!?!?!"

"Huh?! What?! What is it?"

"There's some giant person over there!" *points at a Martian in the market.*

"That's rude, Ace! They're just getting fruit from the stalls."

"Prefect, didn't you say that there were only humans in this world?"

"They are a human, they're just a Martian."

"Martian?"

"People here have colonized the planet next door, and when you stay on that planet, you grow taller and become paler due to the lower gravity and staying in sealed buildings."

"So yer' sayin' that I can grow taller just by chilling in a certain place?!"

"Not necessarily, but you will grow taller if you live on Mars long enough."

"Mars?"

"That's the 'planet next door' that I mentioned earlier."

"Oh."

[littlecrittereli]

Hey there! I read both Reprogrammed and Decoded and was blown away. Unfortunately (sorta), my odd little brain had one little question that was burning from the end of Reprogrammed till the end of the story: what about the Wild Kratts Kids? How did they react to Chris's disappearance/return? I know if I were 8 and my teacher (i guess thats an okay metaphor? maybe?) randomly disappeared for 3 months and came back 10 pounds lighter with dozens of new scars and white hair in their early twenties, I'd be a little torn up/curious. How would Chris feel about showing up on screen in front of a bunch of kids in his state? Would he...wear a...hat...or something...? I don't know, just thoughts lol

They never told the public that Chris was missing (Didn't wanna scare the kids or give the Villains the knowledge that they were vulnerable)

And being out in the most rural parts of the world, it's not uncommon for them to go months without any sort of public appearance. For now, Martin is handling any sort of press alone until Chris is ready to be back in the public eye.

But of course they still run into a wild kratts kid every once and a while.

He's still working on his alibi.....

[witherby]

is Conner magically linked to mouse somehow or is he so obsessed with them because there the first one he talked to beside lex luthor

Fantastic question! Conner has imprinted on Flittermouse!

I'm kinda sneaking in soulmate dynamics here a teeny bit, in the sense that Kryptonians' mating instincts have them search for partners with appealing biochemical markers to latch on to (usually for purposes of procreation, but obviously as they're both still minors that isn't playing a factor here). They also mate for life, so if they find an ideal match and imprint on them, chances of imprinting again are near zero.

Conner's biological instincts latched onto Mouse as a Great Match, and his body is responding in kind. He's found someone he desires, and now he has to win their favor in whatever manner his Kryptonian biology demands. He is becoming attuned to mouse so that his body knows where they are, how they're doing, and how he can best accommodate and protect them.

His body is in love even though he doesn't quite know what's going on yet.
