#Biology AU

[broken-synchronicity]

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

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

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…

I hate him so much but he is so interesting. I want to study Sentinel and his brain under a microscope.

Also, new AU! (kicks my other 5 AUs, one also a Bayverse AU, under the rug)

Long explanation of my hc about Bayverse cybertronian biology under the cut ⬇️

Ok, so time for some spec bio 👏

Mudflap and Skids hatched from the same egg, for example. Since Optimus and Megatron are implied to be siblings or at least thinking of each other like that in the Bayverse, I'm taking that literal and making them biological brothers in the AU.

In the Bay movies it is shown that cybertronians come from some type of eggs.

In my headcanon, if they hatch from the same egg (not common), the hatchlings are related (brothers/sisters/twins/triplets/etc); if not, they aren't family.

Now if the energon of another cybertronian falls on an egg (either by accident or purpose) it will get absorbed by the membrane of the egg and the hatchling will be biologically related to that cybertronian, resembling them physically/mentally yet not being an exact copy (they become that transformer's offspring, in simpler words).

In the AU Sentinel found a random energon egg in an abandoned nursery and touched it while bleeding from his servo, accidentaly making the hatchlings inside his and now being stuck with two children that have the energon of a Prime running through their veins.

What can go wro–? Everything. Everything went fucking wrong.

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.....

this week on traff getting obsessed with an au that barely exists

[azzayofchaos]

As an exercise in creature design and in the interest on developing my dreaming-verse/general world building lore, i thought these guys would be fun to do!

More lore / transcript:

THE STRIDER:

Peaceful lava walkers and grazers, they’re often breed and domesticated for both their use as transportation across the lava lakes and for various materials.

While not certainly an acquired taste to an overworlder, strider meat is not an uncommon food source. String and membranes from their opalescent sensory organs and hide are also valuable resources.

The membranes are heat management, courting displays, and gathering sensory input as they are near-blind.

Strider's eyes are largely vestigial, the sensory organs picking up on heat signatures exclusively.

They have spiracles for breathing along their sides and tails.

When wading through lava, their limbs are able to stretch out, this process requires the high temperature and results in the brighter, redder coloration of their skin as the heated fluids move under it. When not on lava, this fluid cools resulting in a duller coloration.

A subspecies of strider can be found in regions of the deep Neth that are blue in color.

They are long lived and migratory creatures, lichens and fungi often growing on their harder outer plates to spread across lava lakes. These are not an incident the striders, though magma barnacles, the stationary stage of a Nether-local insectoid species are considered pests.

Adolescent striders are a few meters tall, though they can grow considerably larger.

When being ridden, a lantern full of the phosphorescent warped mushrooms that Striders prefer. This lantern has the bonus effect of glowing when passing across sections of land. While Striders prefer to graze on fungi, they also spend significant amounts of time filtering minerals from the lava lakes.

Flags are displayed to help make visible where the rider and the strider are coming from and what the point of travel for the rider is.

THE GHAST:

Territorial and aggressive animals that use the updrafts of lava lakes to remain afloat in the the atriums of the Neath.

Ghats contain organs able to solidify and fire out explosive charges, when about to fire, the organ will light up, an illusion of a demonic face appearing through their spiracles and semi-transparent bodies.

They feed on minerals and airborne biological matter that filters out of the biomes in the upper-regions of the Neth with their oral arms.

The ghast tear is an organ in their center arm.

Adult ghasts release their own spores into the air to help with genetic exchange, otherwise growing young ghast on their bodies that eventually split off in a sort of mitosis.

the gelatinous bodies of ghasts are used primarily in construction and fuel, but parts of their innards, explosive organs not included, are commonly eaten.

Mermaid Mike x Marine Biologist Will 🧜‍♂️🤿

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

I was remembering some vignettes the other day, and I remember Crowley said that magic is affected by imagination. In book 1, Deuce and Grim both struggle to paint a rose red. Cater's advice to them heavily emphasizes, "Try to picture a red rose in your head."

I think about this a lot. Do people in twst suffer from some sort of aphantasia? Crowley mentions that mages will strengthen their imaginations through art and music. So it's probably a common thing for people to have poor imaginations in twisted wonderland.

Huh, that's an interesting thought! But we have to remember that in canon twst, mages are the minority.

So, the mage populous being affected by aphantasia? Plausible. But the entire populous of twst? Absolutely not.

The level of imagination would be no different from us. Some people have an exemplary imagination, while others have a mediocre one. This is just more easily found when it comes to mages because of how magic functions in twst.

On the case of Deuce and Grim: neither are artistically inclined, Deuce is shown to lean towards physical aspects and has a simpler thought process than others, and Grim is literally a cat monster who barely understood humans in general, let alone been exposed to any kind of prompt for imagination. It's possible they could suffer from a form of aphantasia, if you want to think that, but I think the scene was just meant to emphasize how new to magic they were, rather than a sign of either suffering from aphantasia.

But, this is an idea! I hadn't really considered such a thing until you brought it up. A mage with aphantasia must be a huge struggle 🤔

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.

There was only one thought in my head after reading this:

You what I just thought about what if yuu got sick ( if seen Owl House Eclipsa lake Luz got sick but that could hurt but sent it disney she okay ) sent yuu is not from Twisted Wonderland yuu could get hurt or worse

Exactly!

I've been thinking about this aspect of history a lot. And I even want to do one big job related to this….very big

From a biological and genetic point of view, Yuu does not have, for example, "immunity", which is produced by whole GENERATIONS in TWST Otherwise, going through some kind of disease, epidemic, etc., humanity gradually adapts, finds a cure for what their body cannot cope with and acquires immunity to one degree or another.

I apologize if I am not accurate in the scientific point of view. You can correct me if someone is more knowledgeable.

I have an assumption that the very first "magicians" who just started using this ability. They looked like a person who was given a tap with a valve without specifying which way to turn. And it was like a series of long trials and errors.

Too little magic? - the spell is not strong enough and stable enough. Too big? - hello overblot.

What is left for those who do not have magic or their magic supply is too small? To adapt and look for medicines, because as far as I can assume with "overblown" spoilages, things were very bad. These were particularly difficult times for them.

Remember also those original titans and phantoms. Their destructive power and the fact that they probably left behind horrific destruction. Which were filled with ink miasma.

Magic stones, as far as I understand well, work as some kind of "additional" cleaning filter from ink, in addition to their internal immunity.

Centuries have passed and at the moment everything is not as dangerous as it was at the very beginning for people who do not have magic. They have an immunity that somehow developed from their ancestors.

(What has significantly improved the situation is that there is medical knowledge and research on how to care for overblott survivors and those who find themselves in the most disadvantaged place to be close and inhaled miasma.)

But Yuu ………doesn't have that.

You can imagine how horrified I was to realize in what a terrible place Yuu refused. They were literally thrown into the local Chernobyl without any protection.

NRC is a place of accumulation of a huge amount of magic, add to this that there are particularly strong personalities in terms of magic stock. One of the five, for example…

Then add here not very good circumstances of a place of residence for a growing teenager. And dust and mold have not accumulated in "one day", it has been accumulating there for years. And this is definitely not the kind of hell that a teenager needs to cope with without any means. They've been breathing it for months.

What do we get in the end?A time bomb…

If this moment is played out in the plot one way or another, I will be very happy. Because this is a very serious detail that cannot be circumvented.

Is needing raw meat and blood the only traits hunter has in this AU? or does he have others?

Nope, our boy developed increased senses like better smell, hearing and eyesight. One big difference between Hunter and the other witches is that his ears are constantly moving, detecting every little sound and are more emotive in general. It’s cute if not odd to the other witches.

One clear difference is his teeth. While witches can have fangs, Hunter chompers are absolute killers compared to theirs. His canines jut outwards a bit to stab into his prey and hook his teeth under their skin, making it impossible to escape without causing excessive bleeding. His later incisor and first molar are sharp to tear into meat better. The rest molars are relatively normal if not a bit sharper than usual. He does have an extremely strong jaw that can break through bone, fun when eating jaw breakers but also means if he gets you, he ain’t letting go without at least a piece of you with him.

His biggest differences are in the inside with his digestive system with developing a smaller intestine, colon and cecum making it difficult to get any sort of nutrients from normal food. He found that outside of raw meat and blood, raw eggs and certain dairy products are fairly good. (Fish too but that’s included in meat)

Eyes constricting happened during hunting since it’s a way to protect the eyes if sun is out. Basically the pupil and iris getting really small.(it also makes him look a bit scary)

Their some other grimwalker head canons thrown in here like immunity to the heat like boiling rain and fire, lack of pulse, stone lungs when sleeping, and being able to hold his breathe for a really long time. This is all to build Grimwalkers to be super predators in a way, something for witches to fear. heheh they’re kinda like cats.

Thank you for the ask :33

Here’s some extra references

[squidthesquidd]

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 happen to see many redesigns and reimaginations of star trek aliens, but very few about humans if any.

WE ARE ALIENS TOO
