#FaB lore

[d3molition-lov3rs]

thinking about festivals held out in the zones. news of the event being spread through word-of-mouth, coveted zines, secret frequencies revealing the location through the radio. long treks with your crew across the desert, out into the far-flung parts of the zones away from where the scarecrows patrol, the radiation waves causing the horizon to blur and distort in the distance. clusters of vehicles, caravans and cars and motorbikes and trailers all clumped together in circles, fire-pits for roasting during the day and for huddling around for warmth at night. the stage is made of old pallets and plastic clumsily tied together with cord and rope, the stairs up to it creaking with every heavy step and threatening to collapse all together. the music is loud and electric, chords and drumbeats ripping across the desert, painting colours and noise through the otherwise silent landscape. the bands never stop playing, music blasting all hours of the night and day as killjoys mosh and fight and drink and laugh together in the crowd. motorbabies curl up together on top of the caravans to watch the show from afar, sharing sweets and comics and hand-made trinkets and jewellery amongst themselves. alliances and friendships are made with crews from the other side of the desert you otherwise would have never met, the memories encapsulated through the stories that will be told for years to come. art is made and shared in the form of painting one another's cars, tattoos inked deep into sun-tanned and blistered skin, photos snapped on old polaroids with long-expired rolls of film. songs are written in the moment and performed and played again and again and again, the melody forged by the magic of those present at the event. the final hours of the final day are marked by the early rising sun lighting up the people passed out in the sand, the roar of engines turning over, the sight of another crew disappearing over the horizon.

I wish Mattel brought back a "skullector" version of freaky fab 13, and shared something for G1 fans every 13 of the month... It wouldn't need to be much just like, profiles for characters who never got one like Andy, Pharaoh, Spelldon, Gory or Quill... and maybe some profile art in the OG style? They could hire people from the community like Eugenartist or Mistyxxart!!

Even just sharing old pics we only got to see partially as box art like Wheeling Werecats or full bodies of that art of the ghouls looking behind their back...

If they really want to do more then once in a while they could add like... A short story in the form of an entry with artwork going with it? Like how they did for the RBA entries... Simple premises like "Gil has to babysit the blue triplets", "Gigi, Iris & Astranova go star sighting", "Purrsephone and Meowlody have a scooter race against Ghoulia", "Spectra hears a rumour about Hexeciah and Bloodgood being a thing" ect...

Other fun things could be little fun facts pages shared here and there? Like revealing the name of Skelita's brother or Jinafire's 7 brothers, idk...

Maybe have a QnA thing? Make it a fan corner? it would be so cool... if only...

finally finished this wip, they're soso normal about each other i promise

@chemzee's hpma oc Melissa "Melly" Anscombe. i cant stop thinking about her

[fabdante]

Reboot Vergil and Silco (Arcane) would be the BEST bad guy team up ever.

Also. Vergil and Jinx interacting. She would annoy him so much, on purpose, it'd be great. (Do you think Jinx would remind him of Kat?)

Also. Kat and (season 2) Jinx meeting and being Friends. (And maybe Dante, too? Because like. I feel like Dante would Understand the whole "having trust issues with your sibling, and also boatloads of trauma even besides that" thing. Because hey, same hat!)

Ooooh I love this

I feel like Vergil and Silco would get along on a surface level, should their goals line up, but they're so alike in many ways they would not trust each other as far as they could throw each other asdfghj like especially from Vergil's side of things, I imagine he'd be trying to stick close to see how he can slip in and take the power Silco has for himself, but he also probably enjoys the company lmao. Unlike a Mundus, I think Vergil and Silco could have a lot to talk about. There might be a bit of mentor, mentee in there to I suppose. With, of course, the worry your mentee might one day usurp you successfully but like that's sometimes the cost of useful help now isn't it asdfghjk

I do also think Jinx would annoy him so much on purpose because it's funny when Vergil gets mad but I think she would also not trust him lmao, he's too close and Jinx probably would not like to feel like she might be phased out and would be venting this in elaborate ways to bother Vergil. Like...she can't kill him just now. But maybe one day asdfghjk and I do think there's elements of her that would remind Vergil a bit of Kat. It's the creation and chaos I think. Jinx is a creative person, a blend between artistic and scientific, which I think Vergil can click with also like I think he'd find her inventions interesting. IDK I think he'd find her interesting, like a weird painting, even though she is probably hostile towards him asdfghjkl all that early Kat and Vergil knowing each other Kat bite but without the affection and trust type of thing, very fun

And I could see Kat and Jinx getting along, particularly by the season 2 part of her arc. Dante to honestly. Similar hats, I think the trio would kinda understand where everyone's coming from even if the trauma responses are a bit different.

Though the one I think Kat'd really get along with very well is Ekko. Boy savior and the girl who saves everyone, I think they'd get a long really well. Bestie potential.

Killjoy Legends AU poster

Take this as my ‘No I haven’t forgotten about Fab Killjoys but Twenty One Pilots are kinda doing a thing right now so…’

But I promise that I am very much still into this lore and I’m working one episode IV of Tales from the Zones

[m1smatched-starsigns]

For a WIP game: Half-Spirit Fireheart AU

in response to this post:

In which Fireheart is wounded in one of Brokenstar's ambushes and is slowly dying, and a StarClan warrior panics and gives Fireheart a life illegally. Fireheart wakes up and runs back to ThunderClan to help defend it, only to learn that days have passed and his Clanmates assumed he was killed.

Fireheart goes hunting for answers and finds the StarClan warrior in the forest, now a walking spirit that somehow only Fireheart can see. The spirit becomes something of a guide to Fireheart because now that he's half-spirit, he can see Things and he has Questions. He's also acting a little bit strange these days and his Clanmates are starting to get suspicious; since when does Fireheart have a short fuse? Since when does Fireheart unsheathe his claws sparring with apprentices? Since when does Fireheart stare Tigerclaw down like he wants to fight?

That's another thing. Graystripe is consumed with Silverstream and the civil war that's brewing in RiverClan, so the spirit also tries to counsel Fireheart not just on how to handle Tigerclaw, but how to handle all the political drama and the secrets that are being unearthed.

Take the first arc and give it a good shake, and you get a lot of familiar faces and scenarios but it quickly spirals into something completely different.

Featuring fallen angel trope; angry Fireheart (like the version that yelled at Bluestar because StarClan kicked out SkyClan over not enough trees); StarClan/Dark Forest lore; warrior Cinderpelt; spoiled-rotten-princess Silverstream; ShadowClan's sketchy new leader; uhh is Tigerclaw actually scared of Fireheart??; lowkey Fire/Sand sibling dynamics; and finally, "what would happen if somebody took Bluestar up on that offer she made one time?"

For fun, here's an excerpt of what I currently have written:

It isn’t until she lays her ear against his chest that she stiffens. Fireheart waits for her to ask a question, but when she stays silent, he asks, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve never heard a heart beat this slow,” Yellowfang whispers. “I don’t know how it’s still beating. Have you felt different, recently?” Worry creases the lines on her face. “Weak, or easily exhausted?”

For Yellowfang, Fireheart tries. He tries to find the words to describe how he’s felt since he woke up on the burial grounds.

Like someone broke all of my bones and then tried to meld them back together, but there are dents and cracks and they don’t fit the same anymore. Like there’s sun on my back but the warmth doesn’t touch me. Like fresh-kill lost its flavor. Like I dream about memories that don’t belong to me.

Like I’m half-flesh, half-spirit, a mistake.

“No,” lies Fireheart. “I’ve felt fine.”

I'm a new-ish fan. What's some good beginner The Stroke lore?

hello hello. i started writing a long ass paragraph about this when i was at the store…. that all got lost. aside from watching music videos and live performances, i recommend watching In Transit, and the zoom series they have on their youtube channel!!!! i feel like they’re the best way to get to know the boys and some fandom inside jokes.

i think some important lore to know is how they all met. julian and nikolai went to school when they were kids. julian was sent to a school in switzerland during middleschool, where he met albert. julian went back to new york, and went to high school with nikolai, fab, and nick. i’m not sure how long he was in school with them though, bc im pretty sure he dropped out. obviously they stayed friends, and then formed the strokes. AND THEN, albert went to college in new york, and then ran into julian. they both were looking for places to live, and then decided to move in with each other. i just feel like the way they all met is so interesting???? like starting a band with someone you knew when you were 6 is soooooooo AUGH!!!

they went on hiatus after releasing first impressions of earth, and i think that’s why i can’t think of a clear list of “lore” for them. they’re honestly pretty private people, and they give us a lot of sarcastic answers, and im pretty sure it’s because they hated the promotion side of releasing music, and dealing with interviewers who knew practically nothing about their musics and only wanted to sell a story. also this is just my opinion but i think whatever actually happened during their hiatus, really put something between them. sure, they’re all friends now but it’s pretty obvious that they are not as close as they were in the early 2000s, and it kind of breaks my heart. sorry…. that kind of dampened the mood ahaha….

this probably didn’t help… sorry. but i hope it did. i’ll think of some funny lore i guess

[get-back-homeward]

In the last two years, I’ve encountered the quote “Ringo’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles” attributed to John more times than I can count.

It always hits my brain as wrong not just because I’m nothing if not a Ringo defender but because John knew how freakin lucky they were to have Ringo. If John did say it, it was almost surely intended as a joke and not one to be repeated by Ringo detractors as any kind of evidence of his skills 60 years later.

Fab Four Archivist says it never happened:

There are fans in the comments who swear they’ve seen video of the 1966 New York press conference where John says this. I’ve watched what I thought was the complete presser and do not remember it. It may be a case of the meme writing over memories.

Does anyone remember actually seeing this clip anywhere?

[13eyond13]

wait your beatles era is over? it was so fun eventhough i follow for death note content it just made my day seeing you enjoying something so much! :]

Awww no well it's not OVER over, as in I still really like them and will retain everything I learned about them during the last 3 or 4 months and still follow a lil handful of my fave Beatles blogs on here. It's just over as in I don't feel the need to fill my dash with literally hundreds of Beatles blogs or finish reading every giant biographer's tome I started reading about them anymore or wtv. And obvs you can always chat to me about them and still see me occasionally post about them! But thank you for saying so anyways haha

and hopefuly there are no typos in this because i’m too tired to proofread, woo! :D :D

The fics that live rent-free in my brain🫶🫶🫶

I was talking with @elliecutte yesterday about the fics I always recommend and think about long after I’ve finished them, & I wanted to document the list somehow♥️♥️♥️ I don’t have an otp and read for a LOT of fandoms so this is all over the place bahahahahahahahah

Unsphere the Stars by cocoartist (Tomione, M). This fic is genuinely my Roman Empire. I think about it CONSTANTLY♥️ It’s the most romantic, swoon-worthy thing I’ve ever read, and the Hermione and Tom are perfectly characterized. You can tell the author is SO well-read and intelligent, her writing is just the most beautiful thing ever, and I find myself just going to random chapters and reading them because I love it so much.

Birdie by @crushribbons ♥️ (Sebastian x f!mc, E). I know I’m so annoying tagging you about this BUT I GENUINELY LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH ‼️‼️ it’s manipulative/needy Sebastian at its absolute FINEST & I think about it a lot🥹 since the second I read it (when you only had part 1 out) I knew I was going to be in for a TREAT…the writing/prose is just 🤌🤌🤌 & the way you write Sebastian made me start to understand why people are actually simping for him😆🫠

One Hundred and Sixty Nine by Soupy_George (Sirmione, T). I read this SO long ago, before I had an ao3 account, and I think about it often. It’s actually much longer than I remember it being because I absolutely devoured it. Hermione travels back to 169 days before Voldemort kills James and Lily, and she has a short period of time to convince Sirius to help her out without seeming like she’s gone mad. I’m the ultimate Sirius fan but I feel like I’m quite picky with how he’s characterized, and this fic gets it right🫶🫶🫶

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite (Elizabeth x Col.Fitzwilliam, Elizabeth x Mr Darcy, T). I don’t have much to say except this one, plus Unsphere the Stars are my favorite fics of all time. I think about it all the time, it truly is just beautiful♥️ the author DID HER HOMEWORK in regards to historical accuracy, and I go through every single emotion known to mad every time I reread it. The most beautiful depictions of falling in love and grief and healing and 🥺 I would recommend it to anyone, not just people who like p&p♥️♥️

we are the same underneath it all, aren’t we? by tookajourneytotheunknown (Jack Sparrow x Elizabeth Swann, T). I think this was the first fic I commented on, when I finally got my ao3 account🥰♥️ it is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL writing (do you see a theme here with what I love🤭), and I just think about it all the time😭🫠♥️ the best Jack Sparrow, I love love lovveeeeeeee how the author wrote him !!!!!!! PotC fics are really so hit or miss for me but this one was just amazing. All I can say is that it reads like a fairy tale in the best way possible.

When We’re Older by @writing-intheundercroft (Sebastian x f!mc, E). I simply adore this story🤭♥️ it’s SO WELL-WRITTEN !!!! I love her Sebastian, I love Theo, I’ve actually laughed out loud reading this (Jackdaw😤), I’ve teared up, I’ve wanted to shake some sense into all of the characters. She just does such a good job exploring how it feels to be young and think you know everything when you DON’T, the uncertainty of falling in love, how to navigate opening up your life to another person. I just love it♥️

All of @hazyange1s oneshots !!! & im sure fic when I start reading it🫶🫶🫶 I just adore your writing & every time I read it I’m like ?????? This writing is in our fandom???????? ITS JUST SO GOOD 😭🤌🤌♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

All of @anto-pops oneshots♥️ I’m so weird but I only read them with my morning coffee & it is a strange way to start my day but🫠🫠🫠 c’est la vie. Her Sebastian is so obsessive and manipulative and needy and aldkfksjgkjsjfjdjdjdjsjssjs literally her oneshots hit the spot every time & idk how she does it !!!!

How to Make A Villain by @morelikeravenbore (Sebastian x f!mc, M). I’m not done with this one (yet🤭) but I LOVE IT !!! Aurélie is already so dear to me, and I absolutely love love love how she writes Sebastian🫶 definitely not shying away from his red flags but…ngl I would fall for him too if I were her😔😍

The Call of the Void by @sloanesallow (Sebastian Sallow x f!mc, M). I love her version of Sebastian so much, goofy and dorky and a chronic over-thinker🥺 and Sloane is just such a sweetheart, I love her SO MUCH !!! I’m really excited to see where this story goes, and I’m obsessed with all of the pining between the two of them🤌🤌

Any oneshot by @applinsandoranges 🥹♥️♥️♥️ they’re always so sweet and spicy and aldkfjdhkcjdjfkkdlfkejdjdjdjshshs I’ve been meaning to go through your masterlist and just spam comment soon bc I love them all !!

@rambling-tam writing🥹��🫶🫶 I haven’t had the time yet to spam read everything (yet !!) but what I have read so far is breathtaking. Truly some of the best writing I’ve seen in this fandom🥰♥️

I reblog A LOT of the oneshots my algorithm graces me with (idk what’s up with it lately but I feel like I miss a lot🥲). But I recommend all of those as well♥️♥️♥️

Elle dad lore is insane.

[villiedoom]

Some more 3D renders, this time with two Koties (fantasy felines from my personal lore/story). These are random characters made on the same Northern Kotie model, but I tried to give them some personality. I posted one of them recently and here he got a striped friend. It's open to interpretation what their story is, what they're looking for, and what they're talking about ~

Made in Blender. The landscape model from Fab.

[fabdante]

i do wish i could just...imagine hard enough and have swan song appear fully formed.

unfortunately i have to write it. and to do that i have to wade through 250k of nonsense or start from scratch again

[mercy-love-joy]

Did another one but alternative

Did another coloring image of @fishymom-art because now I want to color all of them.

Here's the original

Now here is my rendition

Now, my beloved husband /p (@the-wereraven) absolutely adores Blackberry Cookie (as well as any au's with Blackberry) so I also did this rendition too

I was listening to South of Midnight soundtrack (Fishy, Fishy- you have to listen to the soundtrack because there is so much potential for FaB and Shackled Branch /pos) again and got inspired by the wisps of magic in game to color this in.

AU name? Dunno- probably Guide of the Deceased or something. I'll make some lore soon.

All I can say is that I love the colors and I want a costume of this now. Thank you Fishy for creating my next brain rot /pos
