hi hello everyone.... it's FINALLY time for me to post the outline of my steel ball run x vento aureo au!! yes it's me transplanting the sbr characters into va. what can you do
info and stuff beneath the cut as always :3
♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡
☆ steven steel is a capo within passione, and he oversees sezione gestione sistemi informatici (the information gathering team). he doesn’t ever fight anyone directly as it isn’t in his nature to be excessively violent, but he does goes on missions with his team from time to time.
☆ he’s extremely protective of his team as a whole, taking any deaths and injuries they may sustain especially hard. he knows that most if not all of them come from awful backgrounds, so he tries to show them empathy that most other people don’t afford. the man that risotto tortured information out of (anime) was said to be in sistemi informatici so… do with that information what you will.
☆ steven is acquainted with bruno. they two of them met when bruno initially joined passione as a child, and due to his age, steven started to look out for him wherever he could. but since bruno is under polpo’s jurisdiction and he has his *own* team to take care of, there’s not much steven can do without it being seen as overstepping. still, they keep in contact.
☆ his most trusted bodyguard is a woman named hot pants. she hails from rome, in an area close to vatican city. she’s been a part of passione since the age of sixteen after she ran away at the age of thirteen thanks to her guilt over accidentally getting her younger brother, deacon, killed.
☆ whenever she goes on a mission with steven, she assumes a male disguise for her safety and so that no one from her previous life (such as her parents) would recognize her at a glance. as a way of keeping his memory alive, she uses her late brother’s name for this disguise.
☆ lucy is steven’s great niece, related to him through her mother. she was born into a huge family, with an older brother and four younger siblings. as the eldest daughter, she feels a certain responsibility towards the well-being of her siblings. this increased tenfold after their mother died, and their father struggled to care for them.
☆ eventually, her father finds himself knee-deep in debt with passione and is asked to either give up his house or one of his children as payment. lucy takes it upon herself to leave, just to ensure her family's safety.☆ when steven hears of this, he swoops in immediately to pay off her family’s debts and to take custody of lucy. lucy’s younger siblings are told that she’s attending a fancy boarding school on a scholarship, while her father and older brother know the truth.
☆ living with steven is more than a little awkward. he’s never really been in lucy’s life, save for a few meetings when she was younger and at her mother’s funeral. not to mention, steven’s never actually raised a child before. still, he tries his best to treat her well.
☆ hot pants, on the other hand, is distant from lucy at first. she’s reminded too much of her brother, whose personality was similar to lucy’s. they don’t stay in the same room for very long.
☆ gyro zeppeli is a former med student who shadowed under cioccolata for a brief time, though he was always wary of the man. he’s unknowingly saved a few would-be victims, much to cioccolata’s annoyance. gyro doesn’t miss him when he’s eventually fired.
☆ the zeppelis were involved with a completely different crime family at first, at least until passione absorbed it into its own organization. as such, gyro eventually joined passione too. his first team was la squadra, and he doesn’t like thinking about them too much.
☆ he left them in favor of steven’s team once sorbet and gelato died. while he was angry at their deaths, he wasn’t too keen on figuring out diavolo’s identity for the sake of revenge. he figured that there was a better way of avenging them that didn't include making their same mistakes.
☆ diego keeps his past a closely guarded secret. the most that’s known about him is that he lived in a mansion in cairo with his single mother and a bunch of other people he can hardly remember. he wants to rise up the ranks of passione and become a capo in his own right, a fact that he likes to bring up all the time.
☆ johnny is the newest member of sistemi informatici, freshly disowned from his family after the death of his older brother nicholas. steven hadn’t initially planned on recruiting him when he took johnny in, but johnny was stubborn enough to push the issue until steven agreed.

Here I am- making an entire AU for the Movie just so I can make some more SecurityWaiter content-
To keep from spamming, I’m dropping it under a Read More-
Anyway, in this AU, Vanessa doesn’t exist.
Instead, Evan, Elizabeth, and Michael are William’s kids.
Michael, when he was very young, was removed from the house. There was an, uh, accident, with his Mother, and the CPS took toddler Mike away.
Mike was then adopted out to the Schmidt’s, who changed his last name and raised him as their own.
Evan died young- though unlike in the games, he didn’t die because of the bullies. He was just fascinated by the spring locks, and as little kids are, he got into places he shouldn’t- specifically, the workshop.
He died to Golden Freddy.
William, having lost his wife, his oldest, and now his youngest, snapped.
Blaming Henry Emily, his business partner for his creation’s murder of his son, William got drunk one rainy night and went out.
There, he found his work partner’s daughter, Charlotte, who was locked out of the Pizzaria.
He brought her into the alleyway besides the Pizzaria, and he killed her.
The security puppet, specifically made to keep the children from getting out of the building, then finally got out of its box that the other kids trapped it into, it left the building, and as the rain continued to pour and thunder rolled in the distance, it wrapped itself around Charlotte’s body.
Charlotte was the first, and she went on to possess the Puppet.
Time then passed. After Charlotte died, William noticed that the Puppet’s face was now stained with purple tears, Charlotte’s favorite color, and he figured out that the little girl had possessed the animatronic.
He continued to murder, killing kids one by one. The missing kids incident happened- then another missing kids incident happened, another, another, another.
He got caught a few times, but he was always let go due to the lack of evidence. None the less, the Afton name was not seen highly.
Deciding to move onto higher rate of capturing the kiddies, William made the Funtimes- and subsequently lost his last remaining child to the deathjaws of his creations.
Baby, along with the other Funtimes were locked below William’s house.
Changing his name, William fled Utah and moved to Minnesota.
But, of course, he couldn’t leave his favorite creations behind.
The Puppet, the first, had to go with him.
Along with both of the Springlock suits. Bonnie was his favorite, after all, and he while Baby was vengeful and aggressive, Golden Freddy was nice and placid.
Of course, if he was going to lug all three animatronics with him, he might as well go all the way. He took the other four animatronics, the ones who held 4 of the first 5 children he murdered.
He made sure he still owned the branch of Freddy’s Pizzaria in Minnesota, got rid of the current rundown animatronics still there, and moved in his bunch.
The Puppet grew.. angry at the movement, and much to William’s chagrin, he moved her to the back of the building, in the storage shed, where she would be locked up and far away from the others.
At that, William noticed that the other haunted animatronics were so much more calmer- less aggressive.
Of course, they still murdered, but the killing attempts were no longer pointed towards him.
William was fascinated by that- and thought maybe the reason for that was because of the Puppet’s separation from the others- so he kept her locked there. Forgotten and alone.
Meanwhile, Mike had gained custody of his adopted Little Sister, and was now looking for a job after losing his last.
Meeting up with his Job Coach, Steve Raglin offered him a new job- and the movie began.

I just thought of a Sonic au where little orphan Sonic is found and adopted into the echidna tribe, with little Knuckles being his brother. But then when echidnas go extinct, Sonic gets washed away from Angle Island with no way to get back (he his smol child now terrified of the ocean), leaving Knuckles thinking he is dead like the rest of the tribe.
But then they reunite later with the addition of Tails as a little brother so yay! :DDD

Tumblr media
Blood in the River is a universe in a post apocalyptic world five hundred years after the war.
Humans are gone and only animals remain, the story focuses on six colonies of cats trying to find a weapon to end a threat to the colonies existence as a whole.
The colonist cats have special powers called Mutations which show within a few months of life, from ram horns to telekinesis. The mutations occur as a blessing from the two creators of the colonies, The Patron and the Founder, and also as a result due to radiation left over form the war.
Ranking scars are essentially a way of showing rank through scars! There are six colonies in total, but they all bare the same scars for their respective rank. This is a way for other cats to instantly recognize rank and be able to react accordingly. The process of these scars existing is done through a religious ceremony involving moon and/or sun blessed water (depending on the colony) and a sacred stone from the first colonists.
Each rank has a very important role to a colony as they all take a responsibility to uphold their society.
Tumblr media
Kits are just.. well they’re kits! Their responsibility is to have fun and listen to the Veterans about colony history and other colonists educating them about their code and way of life. Their mutations manifest by 3-4 months and ALL colonists have some form of mutation. They have no scars.
Tumblr media
Neophytes are essentially students, they are assigned an Advisor by a Shepherd, the highest rank of the colony. The Shepherd starts scouting for a suitable Advisor during a cat’s kithood to guide them to their future rank in their colony. Neophytes gain a scar across the bridge of their muzzle by their Advisor with the guidance of a Shepherd.
Tumblr media
Rangers are the most populous and common rank within the colonies, they are essential workers that do day to day duties like hunting, patrolling, and gathering supplies. Since being such a popular rank, they have a lot of free time to focus on hobbies like weaving and craftsmanship. Rangers are trained to swim, fight, and hunt. They gain a scar on their right cheek.
Tumblr media
Couriers are essentially messengers, the colonies have huge territories and they need a reliable way to communicate to one another about trouble or needs of assistance. The colonies do meet once a month during the new moon, but they’d like to discuss matters more frequently than this. Couriers are typically the fastest cats in the colonies and usually mutations including flight, teleportation, or speed end up becoming Couriers. They are often mediators too due to having a well rounded sense of each colony and having little bias. They gain a second nose bridge scar.
Tumblr media
Wardens are guards that are stationed outside the base within their colony, the base being where the colonists sleep and live. They also are required to escort patrols and are the first line of attack in any fight. If not out on a patrol or guarding a colonist, they’re usually found outside the base. They’re typically the strongest cats within their colony, but isn’t required. They gain a scar on their right eyebrow.
Tumblr media
Sitters have the important role of educating kits on the colony life and code. Sitters can take the place of parents if a kit’s mother is required to return to their duty or just wishes to leave their nursing stages early. Sitters have to know about all of the kits needs and wants and assist in helping the Shepherd find a proper Advisor for them when they graduate to Neophyte. They’re almost always in the base and only ever leave to guide the kits around the territory. They gain a scar on their chin.
Tumblr media
Medics are the doctors within the colony and they take care of sick/injured cats. It is in the Colony Code that Medics are not to be harmed in battle or any facet. Medics are not fighters and are rarely trained to do so, focusing more on herbal medicine and cat anatomy. Medics are especially important with pregnant cats, ensuring proper nutrition and birthing. They gain a lip scar on the left side of their face.
Tumblr media
Vices are the second highest rank in the colonies, they serve directly to the Shepherd and are second in charge. A Vice also will take the role of Shepherd if a Shepherd passes or passes away. Usually a Shepherd has multiple Vices and if this is the case, the colony as a whole votes on who they wish to be Shepherd and that Vice then gets elected. Vices are in charge of managing the patrols and keeping a headcount on prey and herbs. They assist the Shepherd in trade deals as well as overall decision making. It is stated a good Shepherd has multiple Vices to get multiple opinions. They gain a cheek scar on the left side of their face.
Tumblr media
Shepherds are the highest rank in a colony, they run the colony as a whole and are in charge of the biggest decisions. They are in charge of interpreting omens from their Deities and each rank ceremony. They also represent their colony as a whole and during these New Moon Assemblies, they speak for their colony as a whole. Shepherds are to be highly respected, regardless of colony affiliation. Depending on how religious the Shepherd is, their word can be on the same level as if a Deity themselves was speaking through them, this takes a lot of trust to ensure from the colonists of their colony to believe though. A Shepherd is blessed by the Founder or Patron (depending on colony) and they lose all their ranking scars and are blessed with a star marking on their forehead. They are also granted an extra life to ensure their prosperity and their colony’s.
Tumblr media
Veterans are retired colonists who are either too old to continue their responsibilities or too injured. They’re highly respected and are responsible for giving a lack education about colony history, everything being spread of word of mouth. Their mutations grow weaker as they get older, but that doesn’t mean they’re helpless, some Veterans will help Rangers in fixing the base up or Medics with organization, really anything to keep themselves busy.

its still so wild to me that when Ful figured out her power was too great to directly shape planets she decided to make a little toolbox and instead of filling it with tools like a normal person she imbued it with the ability to birth rock people who did the planet shaping for her. Like you’re telling me these rock people who I love so dearly only exist because some god Equius-ed herself into creating an entire race?

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

In light of increasing anti-trans and anti-abortion laws in the United States, I am once again humbly requesting you inform yourself about jury nullification, your ability as a juror to vote against convicting people being prosecuted under unjust laws. Nullification was instrumental in legalizing abortion in Canada - it informed jurors can use it to help protect healthcare workers and protesters in the US, too.

maffhew who refuses to say runebergin torttu because he knows hes gonna butcher it so bad he might be kicked out of the country the second he tries and staunchly avoids that by going "the one dessert that barky is going to have to explain 😃"
sasha who gets faced with the most generic description of everything hes ever eaten in his life so far because of maffhew and going "???... oh you mean runebergin torttu!"
"he did good he liked the food and he likes the finland so far so its good" sasha says with so much pride now that all the anxiety has left his system that his husband teammate is enjoying his country and doesnt hate it

(OC Lore and design time!)
(it got longer again ... sorry ... idk how to make things short, i just need to talk, but i guess if you can read the written stuff in the pic thats the barest bare bones of what i wrote here)
i was asked what new lore story stuff i had thought about that made me sad which i mentioned a bit ago, and while that is too hard to explain given all the missing context i thought i could at least talk about lore having to do with it :D
so, (Lord) Eadrya is one of my fav OCs (big blue lad, here a rough sketch in humanoid form) they are both one of if not THE most powerful demon alive and the most battle trained;
at the mid point of the story the demon world gets invaded by the celestials (the angel inspired things i talked about in the previous lore post with Xaror) and Shargon, as the king, should be their first and only frontline, but at this point his life is only being sustained by maschinery after being mortally wounded, he cannot fight (he realizes what is going on, rips himself off the maschinery to get at least his youngest child to safety, barely managing it before dying- the guardian, the demons god, takes over his body to attempt to fight against the celestials but cant keep itself alive long enough since its host is already dead) Eadrya takes the role of the frontline fighter (despite being very full of themselves and aggressive they care about their 'job' of protecting their own, also giving them the chance to show off just how strong they are); the fight was going well for them all things considered, but when the guardian activates it drains the power of all elemental lords (which Eadrya is one of, and since they have the most strength it also takes the most from them), so much so that they lose the fight and suffer deadly wounds (the worst being a spear through the chest made of a material that grows hard, root-like formations when in contact with demonic blood like a fungus but worse, also stopping any self healing processes) after the guardian falls apart it creates a huge shockwave of energy that stuns every living thing within a certain distance and possibly more-
Eadrya (in true demon form, so like a blue whale in size at least) was likely taken through an active gateway to the human world in a large tidal wave also created by the guardians fall; they wash up in the harbor of a small secluded village, the head of which is 'lady 13'; although never having seen a demon before and everyone being afraid (largely thinking its a strange hurt animal, only she suspected otherwise), they still gather all villagers to pull out the celestial spear, which is diffcult and brutal given that its already taken root, but the village lacked both knowledge and means to help any other way- doing so damaged their heart which is how they were able to collect samples of all three demonic blood types ('normal' -red like humans-, energy -essentially purely magic- and heartblood -highly concentrated energy only found within the heart of a demon and the only one to contain genetic material) (this is the start of Eadryas character arc, having to deal with the fact that their world is likely destroyed, them failing what they didnt think they could fail, having lost a battle so badly (even if not really their fault) for the first time and not knowing if literally anyone else has survived .. also being now stuck in the human world, which they dont like)
Lady 13 (placeholder name? stands for experiment 13) is a human that was tricked by demon hunters to enroll into a series of experiments trying to create hybrids of demons and humans, which they hoped would be powerful and easily controllable tools for their endeavours, though the two are inherently not compatible, they tried grafting body parts of demons on humans to make them compatible- all experiments failed except for her, more or less, though she never got to see the hybrid she carried and was then told it had died too, they threw her out believing she wouldnt survive much longer either and all such experiments were cancelled due to the high cost of human life, research material (demons are still rare) and upkeep with no successful results Lady 13 survived though (perhaps even via the pirates picking her up?) and she ended up living in said small village far away, hiding her half demonic body, though most know there soemthing 'wrong' with her (her being this tall when it doesnt fit the rest for one), only few know the full extent; she enjoys the life she has now, perhaps on the more poor side but safer and more loved than ever before; she largely lead the efforts to try and help Eadrya when they ended up in the harbor, though there wasnt that much anyone could do it was still enough- they leave immediately after waking up, but return after really having nowhere to go and struggling to deal with everything that has happened; over time (probably years) they start to open up towards the people there (though not .. very much) enough to get rather close with Lady 13 too- she actually falls madly in love but after Eadrya (extremely aro/ace) rejects all her attempts quite clearly she respects their boundaries
However, after hearing news of potential demon sightings Eadrya decides to leave in hopes of not being the last demon left after all; Lady 13 then decides to reveal her secret to them (though hearing and seeing what lengths hunters would go to for their experiments makes them absolutely seething with rage- she insists on not being out for revenge) and asks if they would be willing to donate a small amount of heartblood; shes always wanted to be a mother but is now incompatible with humans too- through things she picked up back at the experiments facillity, hers and her doctors research she is sure that is all that is needed, she dares to ask since she does not know when, if ever, she will meet another demon, much less one she could actually trust enough for this though Eadrya hesitates (why would she want to go through the same thing again that didnt work and threatened her life, if it does work, do they want to be involved with any of this? what if hunters find out it worked after all?) but after her ensuring that they would have no part in it other than giving up a little blood and would not be considered a parent in any way, nor made responsible for anything that might happen to her, but considering it all in the end they agree to it
only for her to reveal shes had a small bottle of it already, along with multiple samples of the other types, which she collected when Eadrya was bleeding out into the harbor not knowing if they will survive, though not wanting to make use of it without their consent either way (they are actuallly rather touched by this)
alot later the main group returns here and it turns out to have worked (though she is unable to walk/bedridden for a long while bc it did alot of damage to her body, which can heal since its demons parts, but only really slowly bc she does not have a full functioning system and no demonic blood of her own -she uses the other samples for the healing process-) though its a little awkward to explain, especially considering that 13.1 took alot after Eadrya xD (their theory as to why it worked so "well" that time is that even though the sample was already taken, them giving their consent for it still made it less likely to be rejected; demons dont need partners to have offspring, and all can do it, they just have to decide to- so them agreeing to it, even though its long been outside their body, still had an effect on the blood sample)
#ganondoodles#art#ocs#original art#oc lore#demons#monsters#WHY does writing things liek this take me so long#i spent two hours again on this and im falling asleep as we speak bc its almost 2 am#ANYWAY this was alot again ... sorry#but its a relatively new storyline that i have been afraid of telling#since it touches on things im afraid might come across wrong and uses themes im a lil uncomfy with#but i found it interesting ... and works well with eadrya as a character bc it challenges alot about them#yes im wrote and mean this genuinely#i would have made the cut from her human body to the demon parts more smooth ... but this hard cut is the point#so that she looks rather normal on the upper part and can hide the rest#thoguh im unsure about the color scheme and if maybe i should be more creative with the demons parts#then again its largely just legs lol#if anyone actually reads this ........ i hope it comes across correctly#i like to use darker and more mature themes but am riddled with anxiety over how it will be understood#im gonna work on zelda comic stuff again now .. sorry for all the oc spam#but if there are questions PLEASE feel free to ask im pretty sure i have answers to almosst anything?#also i havent thought of a name for her or the kid .. though im starting to like lady 13#13.1 wont do as a name though poor kid deserves a proper name after already being a weird hybrid that shouldnt exist#either way ... going to bed now GOODNIGHT q-q#(any typos are excused by me being deadly tired ok)

"You're not Stanley..."
Okay so, this is my new au called "Double Trouble"! It's a canon divergent au that diverges right when Stan gets branded. Instead of the fight continuing, he gets possessed and she doesn't seem happy about the situation...
Can you tell I had fun with the lighting?
I've hidden a code in this btw :) (hint: it's not the red text)
Below the cut are the flats + the background because I'm proud of it and I want people to look at it >:[

De-aged and injured Danny
Danny is found out by his parents. They don't take it well.
Clockwork is very upset about this, because he'd gambled on almost-certain odds of them being chill about it. So now he has to run damage-control before this very unlikely time-line goes even further off the deep end.
Unfortunately, Danny needs to be in the living world, not the Infinite Realms. Which means that Clockwork needs to put Danny somewhere safe. Somewhere where nobody will find him.
And double-unfortunately, the only place that remotely fits this bill is to contact Lady Gotham.
City-spirits aren't... super-reliable. They're Neverborns who very very rarely consider "humanoid shapes" worth figuring out. So they just kind of... exist. An ectoplasmic presence that's undeniable, but also extremely difficult to have a conversation with.
Thankfully, Lady Gotham is (for all of her... quirks) generally very hero-aligned. Which is why she's the best one to ask for sanctuary for Danny.
Danny who Clockwork de-aged as a way to "limit his injuries" of being vivisected.
Lady Gotham agrees, but she only has one "safe place" to put him. And her Knight is a little bit too paranoid for her to just dump an injured child in his lair, without causing more trouble than it's worth.
But it's hardly a difficult thing, to arrange a few things, and place Danny in a spot where his injuries will cause her Knight to hurry to his aid.
Such as... in a room filled with medical equipment, right next door to where Joker has just lost a fight with Batman.
Things escalate somewhat when Batman finds him and makes some assumptions about what Joker has been up to. Tempers run a bit high, someone loses a few extra teeth, someone else has to physically drag Bruce off Joker's body before he beats him to death, and the Joker considers the whole thing a grand old laugh (he has no idea what's going on, but it sure pissed off Batty, and that's always a treat).
Of course, the Batfam has to actually investigate the scene, evacuate Danny, give Danny medical aid, and then also ask Danny about what happened.
Danny wakes up and is very confused about a lot of things.
He's no longer being vivisected. Great. Love that part.
He's somewhere he doesn't recognize (the Batcave). Could be good, could be bad. At least the bed is pretty nice?
He's very small. This feels like a personal attack. He might not have gotten a good growth-spurt yet, but taking away what he had is cruel and unusual.
And there's a weirdo in an... armored bat-costume? Who isn't setting off his ghost-sense? What the hell kind of "normal" person wears something like that?
Still, Danny does answer the questions that Batman asks him, because... well, there's a green post-it-note in his pocket that says he shouldn't lie.
So Danny tells Batman about his parents cutting him up "for science". And Batman hears that the Joker somehow managed to hire two mad scientists who (upon the tiniest bit of suggestion from the Joker, who'd definitely seen the similarities between Danny and Jason and thought it would be a "funny prank") had leapt at the opportunity to vivisect their own son.
This is definitely worrying, because from the phrasing, they'd been "wanting to do it for a long time". And considering Danny's slow heartbeat and low body-temperature? They'd been wanting to do it because he was a meta.
So, somewhere out there (the Bats had found no trace of the two) were two deranged lunatics who wanted to cut open metas to "see how they worked".
Batman does the very reasonable thing and actually contacts the rest of the Justice League with their descriptions, just in case they'd managed to leave Gotham before the Bats had tracked them down.
