#Parent/mentor swap AU

[voldkat]

RAIN WORLD : ROLESWAP !!

i wanted to explore an au where pebbles is swapped with sig , instead of the usual pebbles-moon swap :3 i hope you enjoy this au i accidentally created because i listened to laplace's angel for too long and was plagued by visions during the tender hours of 10 to 11 pm

the main focus of this au !! yeay !! sig accidentally kills suns out of desperation to reach A Goal ( i don't know what it is yet ) and pebbles attempts to save them by sending a care package . sig is much younger here and his personality reflects that , being bitter and stubborn and a sarcastic little shit , though he ends up calming down and resembling his canon self a little more as his can slowly rots . he was built as a sort of backup iterator in case suns' cooling systems were to fail entirely . pebbles is calmer and more level-headed , showing the same warmth and kindness he did during his canon rivulet campaign state , but ends up snapping from stress anyways and isolating himself permanently .

moon becomes an outsider to the local group , yet retains a close friendship with pebbles and being a mentor figure to sig . she sends sig illegal information during his time of need and quickly regrets it . suns becomes the group senior , built in a naturally cold environment to combat their subpar cooling tech . sig's excessive heat output threw the nearby climate into chaos and caused suns to collapse from overheating .

this one's a bit of a weird one !! hunter is now the cancerous growth slowly killing sig from the inside , his very own version of rot . it looks the same as pebbles' rot in canon , but with pinkish accents instead of dark blue accents . pebbles' rot is now a carnivorous slugcat messenger named the outlaw (?) , created by pebbles to send aid to suns . their creation process was rushed which led to them developing a terrible illness , locking them into an unfortunate demise .

spearmaster is now a random wild slugcat , weirdly mutated by natural means somehow . they stumble into sig's decaying can and retrieve his last rarefaction cell to give to suns , later becoming suns' companion . rivulet is now a genetically engineered messenger made by moon to be swift and nimble , their gills and swimming expertise letting them traverse moon's watery surroundings with great ease . they were used once to deliver the illegal information to sig , and once again to send an apology to him , which he angrily denied .

the green pup ( yet to be named ) gets separated from their family because of a scavenger-related incident . the blue pup , now named the scholar , bravely sets off in search of them . the two are related to artificer as colonymates . survivor and monk both perish from a terrible storm , getting carried away by the rain and doomed to drown . the two are related to gourmand directly .

artificer is now the leader of the slugtree colony , depicted in legends as a fierce brave warrior capable of taking on any challenge . their journey involves searching for a pair of lost pups , dodging hits from suspicious scavengers along the way . gourmand is now the unfortunate parent of survivor and monk , losing two of their pups to the unforgiving rain . they run down the path of greed and bind themselves to gluttony , endlessly searching for power so they can never lose anything again .

AUGHHHH !!!!!

i haven't thought of what to do with saint , sliver , wind , or innocence yet !!! i might swap wind and innocence if i don't see any better options . and if i feel silly enough i might swap saint with sliver

idk if i wanna add nightcat and enot into this au , but if i do they'll probably get swapped with each other too unless i run into any cooler alternatives

gourmand's story is a little bit scuffed BHJDSHF i'm sticking with them getting locked at karma 4 like arti's canon karma lock but i don't have much that builds off of it right now . oopsie

their ages / spots in the timeline have been swapped around too ! pebbles and moon are now both gen 2 , while suns and sig are gens 1 and 3 respectively . the slugcats follow the timeline of whoever they're swapped with ( rivulet is the first campaign , gourmand goes right after , then the outlaw (?) , etc )

i WILL be tweaking the designs for these guys ( especially the iterators since i have specific generation-based design conventions for them and All Of Them would be breaking those conventions if i let them keep their usual designs ) but i am Not That Good at spontaneous character design so i will be doing that !! later !!!

if you guys wanna send asks about this au or talk to me about it then go ahead bc it's been rotating in my head like crazy pleasepleaselpaseplepalseplaseple /silly

Dun Dun Dunnn!!! Arkham Security Guard Danny's Epic Backstory! with Dick Grayson

I fell in love with the Arkham Guard AU by @xy-is-i and like most projects I work on, rather than starting where the story starts, I end up going backwards and delve into the backstory.  And I mean waaay into the backstory.

Because while the stories might start when the Bats run into Danny and Jazz working at Arkham Asylum isn’t where they first met.

Long, long ago, through shenanigans unknown, Robin and Phantom became friends, and honestly, they both really needed it. 

Dick Grayson, age 16, has been Robin for a while, but this is so early in the day that there just aren’t many teen heroes or sidekicks yet.  He’s basically pioneering the field of child heroes.

For Danny, 14, Sam and Tucker are great, but there are just some parts of superhero-ing that they just don’t get when you don’t have to hide a secret identity. 

Batman, for his part, does not approve of the friendship.  He’s already not a fan of metas in his city, but when the two of them get together, the chaos twin energy between Dick and Danny multiplies.  Worse, it brings about the pun-pocalypse, and there are only so many puns Bruce can take.  And then there’s the sibling discourse…

After all the stories Danny has told about his family, Dick is desperate to have a little sibling of his own, and the two repeatedly gang up on Batman to adopt another kid.  Their acting may be stilted, but the efforts are constant.

It never works.  Bruce doesn’t have empty nest syndrome yet, and tiny, homicidal Dick was already more than he could handle while he was trying to figure out how to adult, but he also can’t stand that he’s disappointing Dick.  Alfred isn’t helping either; he wants more grandkids.

And there’s no way in HELL that he’s adopting Phantom.

But for Robin and Phantom, they finally have someone they can talk to who gets it.  They can vent about their rogues, get help with homework, bitch about balancing their vigilantism with going to school, talk about whatever TV they’ve been watching, anything and everything.  It’s not uncommon to see them hanging off the Gotham gargoyles or grabbing a bite on top of the Nasty Burger.

There’s an unspoken rule between them that neither pries into the other’s personal life or secret identity, but as they get more comfortable with each other, little things slip out.  Then more.  Numbers are swapped, bits and pieces about their families come out. 

Later on, homes and secret hideouts are visited and they know each other’s first names.  It’s not a problem for Dick to go to the Fenton’s, but technically, Danny isn’t allowed in the Bat Cave or the Manor.  Those visits happen behind Batman’s back, and they were almost caught when they hid in the chandelier before Danny remembered he could turn them invisible. (Alfred encourages the friendship and bakes extra cookies once when he finds out Danny is over.) 

And eventually the relationship grows until they’re comfortable enough to swap full names.  No more secrets.

Dick likes going over to Danny’s place since it’s a chance to feel a lot more normal, even if they have to be very careful and either stay in civilian clothes in the shared areas or stay locked in Danny’s room if they’re in uniform.  Danny also goes out of his way to keep Dick from ever meeting his sister, Jazz (Danny knows he has a type).  It doesn’t stop them from swapping their numbers under the door.  (Jazz will unofficially be Dick’s therapist for years after this)

But being this close, Dick can also see just how stressed Danny is trying to maintain this lifestyle.  Doesn’t help either he has to listen to Danny’s parents go on and on about wanting to rip their own son apart, molecule by molecule.  Sure, Danny has a couple friends to help him, but he doesn’t have the same mentor or support system Dick has.  For a kid his age to be anything other than a sidekick is practically unheard of in this day and age.  Superheroes are still fairly few and far between, but Batman helped start a group called the Justice League a couple years ago with the idea that heroes could help each other.  Maybe there’s something there…

So, Dick starts the Teen Titan.  He had originally intended for Danny to join him as one of the founding members, but are you kidding?  Jump City is on the opposite side of the country!  He has school! and parents! (That’s the point, Danny. We’re trying to get you away from the parents that want to dissect you) He can’t just up and leave home and run halfway across the country!

So, Dick found the other iconic members and still joined the Titans, but Danny will always have an open invitation to join them and a room at the Tower, something Danny does occasionally take advantage of.  Jump City doesn’t spawn as many natural portals as Gotham, but he visits whenever he can and basically haunts the tower the entire month of December to get away from his family.

Still, the distance and growing up are hard on Dick and Danny, and they grow more distant over the years, but they’ll always have each other’s backs in an emergency.  Dick was there when Danny thought he was turning into a monster (it was just ghost puberty).  Danny stole the Spectre Speeder so they could scour the Ghost Zone after Jason died.  And Danny would eventually become godfather to Dick’s daughter, Mar’i. 

But things cooled down between them… at least until a panicked Danny called because his sister just took a job at Arkham…

i’ve had an au in mind for a while (quite literally came to me in a dream????), something like a swap au but not quite as your usual tgaa swap au. an au where barok van zieks and herlock sholmes are sent from britain to japan, at the age of 23 and 24 respectively

“ticket swap” au i like to call it

of course, this isn’t just ‘back in time’, there are many things jumbled around such as occupations and ages. and none of this is solid! i’m putting down the ideas i’ve had, and this can very well change overtime.

and of course, a lot of this is going to be me info dumping about this very self indulgent vanlock partners(?) focused au, side of mostly susarei but also asoryuu

ahem! tgaa:tsau cast!

below the line, that is

————————————————

herlock sholmes, (25) who wanted to research in forensic science, follows yujin to his nation to do just that (and preferably solve crime, too)

barok van zieks, (24) who applies to go to japan in hopes of learning more about the laws of other nations (and perhaps, something else) aiming to be a prosecutor like his brother

ryunosuke naruhodo, (33) a writer who had recently gotten into researching true crime. it scares him but he can’t help but think there is something about these crimes that are calling him. isn’t really thinking too much about looking into law (but something might change that…) close friends with kazuma asogi

rei membami, (26) yujin mikotoba’s long time forensics assistant that is working towards becoming a doctor herself. decided to help ryunosuke in his research hobby. (she seems to be interested in this man she sees in the hallways of imperial yumei university while on her way to dr mikotoba’s laboratory) close friends with susato mikotoba

kazuma asogi, (34) a well known prosecutor in japan, it is unknown what changed his decision from becoming a defense lawyer. despite being famous among people in law, there is not much known about him. close friends with ryunosuke naruhodo

susato mikotoba, (26) kazuma asogi’s famed judicial assistant (and as sholmes soon learns, sister). she seems to be taking law classes in yumei university under an alias. a bit of a sholmes fan. close friends with rei membami

yujin mikotoba, (52) sholmes’ friend and partner in (solving) crime of course, but also a mentor, and now that sholmes recently learned, a foster father to kazuma asogi and father of susato mikotoba

genshin asogi, (??) family friend of the van zieks, and relative of the renowned prosecutor asogi. he has gone missing

klint van zieks, (35) well known prosecutor in britain. happily married and has one daughter he loves so dearly, to the point of being a little bit of a helicopter parent in the recent years, but barok can’t quite figure out why. he has kept his daughter a secret from everyone apart from family

iris (wilson?) van zieks, (8) how in the world did she end up in japan?! (i’ll give you the answer; through sholmes’s suitcase, which she mistook for barok’s. there were shenanigans), her parents are in a panic looking for her (barok will get to them asap)

————————————————

i just really wanted something where it’s similar to tgaa 1-1 but younger vanlock without their life altering events (klints death for van zieks and iris adoption for sholmes)

and also just the thought of it and how it would play out; van zieks isn’t even a defense lawyer but was preparing to defend the guy he barely knew on the steamship (who had his niece in his suitcase) that he firmly believes did not commit this murder, but sholmes found out what was at stake (aka van zieks being sent back home for a couple more years if he fails this) and was like “nuh uh i got this im herlock sholmes after all” (he does not got this) (i lied he clutched like he always does)

this is superrrrr self indulgent so i don’t expect this to be perfectly aligned with canon, but i kinda just wanna see if anyone could give me more ideas because i currently cannnnnot talk to my friends about this due to massive spoilers 😔

maybe next time i’ll go more in depth on the group dynamics (specifically ryunosuke, rei, herlock, iris, and barok)

[grimalkinmessor]

The thing about Age Swap AU that I really like is the fact that both Mob and Reigen are inherently so much more unstable.

On Reigen's end, most of it is from the fact that he's a kid—he doesn't have the same amount of emotional intelligence because he has less experience overall, and the fact that his relationship with his parents isn't,,,,great, even in a canon setting. A boy still mucking around in the trenches of parental abuse/neglect is always going to be more rickety emotionally and mentally than a grown man who's been given years to heal and distance himself from it.

And then there's Mob. Mob is a bit more a wild card in this area, just because without Reigen his childhood is more or less an unknown. Did Mogami find him? Would it have made him crueller if Mogami mentored him instead? What about Claw? Did they take him in? Is he still with them, did they fall, does he regret it? Is he jaded or riddled with guilt or stuffed so far back in his shell that it takes a little blond boy wielding a huge emotional and verbal hammer to start breaking through it? Either way, I definitely don't see him being as emotionally stable as canon Mob. He likely hasn't reconciled with Shigeo, he probably never truly accepted his powers, and thus has the emotional maturity of a ten year old—Reigen still beats him on this. Mob's only point of positive advice would've been Ritsu, and that's....I mean, it's Ritsu. He hasn't had any significant good influences in his life so he absolutely struggles on how to be one himself.

The potential for these two to be codependent is SO much higher and I love it. Unhealthy dynamics are my absolute JAM (one of the reasons I have this animatic rotating in my head at top speeds 24/7 365) so the inherent prickliness of whatever Wrongness™ these two have going on just. has me. Reigen clings because it's all he knows how to do—even if Mob banishes him from the office, he's a persistent kid that hasn't learned you shouldn't chase after moody grown men with emotions so repressed it manifests as a literal eldritch alter with no morals to curb its desires. And Mob has had to go even longer alone in this sort of universe than ever, and Reigen is likely the only person who's never been afraid of him; he's latching onto that kid like bear trap and never letting go. He's still tenderhearted, but it's plagued with years and years of loneliness and inner turmoil that he's had no one around to soothe; he's over a decade too late for 'healthy'. Not that Reigen minds <3

[zuko-always-lies]

What if Iroh cared about Azula instead of Zuko?

This is an AU idea that I've never seen done, probably because it requires looking at Iroh in a certain way, but what if Iroh favored the other fire sibling? He's still a very deeply flawed individual with the same tendency toward favoritism typical in the royal family and he's still basically incapable of caring about more than one kid, but, for whatever reason, the kid he cares about is Azula. Maybe he had a daughter who died young and Azula reminds him of her. Maybe he sees too much of Ozai in Zuko. Maybe Azula reminds himself, in a positive way. Maybe he drank some "respect women" juice. Maybe Iroh is impressed with Azula's ability and intelligence and thinks she's the only leader with the potential to lead the Fire Nation into a new and better age. Maybe Azula reminds Iroh of Lu Ten since she drinks his favored brand of tea. What matters is that Iroh is very deeply attached to Azula and sees Zuko as primarily an obstacle to her.

All of this doesn't mean that Azula is necessarily super nice or respectful of Iroh or anything like that. After all, canon Zuko was often a disrespectful jerk to Iroh, and Iroh didn't care. Likewise, this AU's Iroh is willing to ignore or excuse it when Azula is a jerk to him, along with a lot of her other bad behavior.

This is not a "role-swap" AU between Zuko and Azula. Azula is not getting exiled (unless things go very radically different than canon in unexpected ways). This is not an AU about Iroh accompanying Azula in exile. Zuko might still get exiled, but if he does Iroh would just wish has hands of the situation and stay as close to his beloved Azula as he can. This is an AU about Iroh being as much as a guide and companion and mentor to Azula as he can.

The thing is that, again, Iroh has all of his canonical flaws as an uncle, mentor, and person, he just favors Azula. He's still distracted by his hedonistic desires. He still refuses to seriously confront his brother or to protect Azula and Zuko from him. He's still extremely vague and non-assertive in his guidance for her. He still idealizes her in ways that dehumanize her. Iroh still wishes to live vicariously through her. He still stokes her rivalry with Zuko, when it suits his purposes. He still keeps changing his expectations for Azula without clear communication. He's still unwilling to have a five minute "this is why imperialism is bad" talk. Everything that makes people call canon Iroh "a good uncle" is still present, it's just directed at Azula instead of Zuko.

And yes, this means that Azula, Iroh, and Ozai are probably all hanging around the palace at the same time, and Ozai might have opinions about Iroh's relationship with Azula and even try to disrupt it. On the other hand, Ozai seems like a very lazy parent with zero time for or interest in day to day parenting, so maybe not. Maybe, as long as Iroh knows his place, Ozai's OK with Iroh doing all the hard work of actually raising Azula and crafting her into an ideal heir and weapon, as long as he doesn't pass on too much failure to her.

Thoughts?

Corpse Bride x TBOSAS AU

Thanks @headcavedin for helping and letting me bounce ideas off of them

Note: We’re playing fast and loose with age. Yes, the mentors should be the same age, but here we’re ignoring that. So Coriolanus, Clemensia and Felix are around the same age. (think mid 30-40s provided that they are alive, early 20s if dead.) Sejanus and Lysistrata are younger. (early twenties).

Roles:

Most of the mentors and those from the Capitol take on the role of those in the world of the living. Everything is pretty drab and rule-following up here. Meanwhile, most of the dead are tributes and some of the Districts with the vibrancy. 

THE LIVING:

Plinths - Van Dorts 

New money, merchants in the town who’re looking to establish themselves with the old money families

Sejanus gets the role of Victor - the groom. No piano skills for him though. He and Lyssie can bond over medicine, maybe? 

Swapping the role of the parents because I think Strabo fits better with Nell, the mother, since he wants to integrate a lot more into society, while Ma Plinth and William seem to have more similar personalities. Not as obsessed with getting into high society as their spouse. 

Vickers - Everglots 

Why are they broke? Well…Felix is dead in this AU and because the Vickers couldn’t save him, Max dismisses them from his employ. Of course, it’s phrased a lot more politely, but the sentiment remains. 

Lysistrata as Victoria Everglot - the human bride 

Nobody else knows of the family’s dire fortunes but the family. 

Coriolanus - Lord Barkis Bittern 

Currently broke, although this isn’t public knowledge. But has a title and is well-respected in town. 

Almost married quite some years ago, but some sort of tragedy befell her before they could marry. 

Looking to marry Lysistrata for her family’s fortune. Now if only he could get rid of the fiance…

Volumnia Gaul - Pastor Galswell. You thought her being the obstetrician was freaky in TBOSAS? Well, in this one, she’s officiating all the marriages in this town. Hope you don’t mind~

Androcles Anderson - Town Crier. Dedicated man who reports news across town. 

THE DEAD:

Clemensia - Emily or the Corpse Bride

Fell in love with a young aristocrat and decided to elope, only to be left in the woods to die. 

Not very nice to call someone the Corpse Bride (even if it’s true) - Reaper, probably at one point. 

Pianist!

Rumour has it that the Dovecotes left town when their silly daughter ran off to elope, taking with her, her mother’s wedding gown and jewels. They were determined to find her, alas… they would never come to know of her fate.

Marcus as Mayhew - the carriage driver for the Plinths. Dies from his cough, and finds Sejanus.

Cyrus - Elder Gutknecht. Considered the wisest amongst the dead and has magical knowledge. Able to grant Clemmie and Sejanus temporary access to the land of the living. He’s got Boa Bell #1 in this AU. Boa Bell #2 is alive but with Pluribus on the surface of the living. 

Lucy Gray & the Covey - Bonejangles and his skeleton band crew! Got the best tunes, even if they're singing about how Clemmie ended up down here. (highly recommend listening to remains of the day!)

Felix and Lamina - the spider and the maggot - except in this AU they’re both skeletons. Supportive of Clemmie’s marriage!! Felix and Clemmie moved in the same circles while living. Piece of advice, don't mention the blond aristocrat in his hearing. It's a touchy subject for both him and Clemmie.

Reaper - no specific character he’s based on, but he’s amongst the dead and is sort of in between how Felix & Lamina act vs Bobbin & Tanner act around Clemmie. Willing to speak the truth even if it’s harsh, but a lot kinder in how he words things. 

~~~~

Plot:

When practicing his wedding vows after his disaster of a wedding rehearsal, Sejanus unknowingly proposes to Clemensia, who rises from her grave to joyfully accept.

Once he’s brought down in the land of the dead, he’s freaked out. Clemmie, unfortunately, is highly oblivious and is enamoured with her husband. Or more so, the idea of finally being married. 

Some of the dead are supportive, yes. Others… not so much. (No names or anything, Bobbin and Tanner)

Follows most of the movie’s plot. Sejanus attempts to go back to the land of the living, tricking Clemensia into finding a way so that they can meet his parents. This plan fails spectacularly when she catches on and realizes she's been duped.

A little bit of a - "Who are you?" / "I’m his wife. Who are you?" Between Clemmie and Lyssie while Sejanus is just standing there nervously.

The jig is up, and Clemmie brings them back to the land of the dead

Sejanus, technically married to Clemensia: Don’t you see, you’re the other woman! Clemensia: No, she’s the other woman. You’re married to me!

They do eventually reconcile.

Around this time, he learns from Marcus (recently dead) that Lysistrata is now going to be married to Coriolanus as the rest of the town thinks he ran off to marry Clemensia. 

Meanwhile we get Cyrus, Clemensia, Felix and Reaper learning that Clemmie’s marriage isn’t valid since wedding vows are ‘death till us part’ and well, she’s dead. 

Felix is a ride-or-die friend. Reaper is a little concerned. 

Felix: Do you want me to fix that? (talking about killing Sejanus) Clemensia: Reaper: Clem, you’re not seriously considering that, are you? He’s–

Clemensia refuses Felix’s request at the same time Sejanus says that he’s willing to properly marry her. (ie. die)

Back on the surface:

Coriolanus & Lysistrata’s wedding dinner interrupted by the dead who’ve come to the surface to hold a proper wedding for Clemmie and Sejanus

Chaos.

Cyrus finds Pluribus and despite being a skeleton, Pluribus recognizes him and they share a smooch. The Boa Bells also meet each other. 

While freaked out, the living do recognize some of the dead and for some, it’s a happy reunion. Others…not so much. (Mizzen + Wovey are doing it for fun. Coral is here with a vengeance. Bobbin too.)

And although Sejanus is willing to marry her, upon seeing Lysistrata in the shadows, Clemensia frees him from said promise.

This quote from the movie: “I was a bride once. My dreams were taken from. But now – now I’ve stolen them from someone else. I love you, Victor, but you are not mine.” Clemmie to Sejanus. 

Some more chaos when Coriolanus interrupts the wedding, wanting his wife back.

Confronation between Clemmie and Coriolanus. "You." / "You?" Very dramatic for most people when they realize he's the one who left her for dead.

Slight fight between Coriolanus and Sejanus with Clemensia stepping in to take the injury for Sejanus.

This scene!! Where Clemmie pulls the sword out to point at Coriolanus (I've seen theories saying that this is where Emily was originally stabbed by Barkis, and I'm here for it!)

Following the same ending as the movie:

At an impasse, Coriolanus plans to leave when he foolishly drinks the wine meant for the ceremony, not knowing it’s poison, killing him and freeing Lyssie from her marriage vows. 

Some of the dead may have thought Clemmie naive/foolish with her dream of waiting all those years to be married, but they all have a soft spot for their corpse bride. Now that they know she was killed off by Coriolanus… well “New Arrival~” and he gets dragged off to the land of the dead. 

And having found her peace Clemmie gets to move on. 

[tumblingghosts]

Hello im rlly interested in all these time travel things.

im wondering if you have more of felix/clemensia timetravelling?

i didn’t, but your ask did get me thinking about both felix and clemensia being sent back…

(more below the cut)

also highly recommend the following if you haven’t already:

@felixravinstills wrote this response about felix landing back at eighteen as well as made this post about felix landing back at five (right after his parents die). also i have a oneshot about felix time travelling from dill’s pov. 

@meekmedea has an entire masterpost for their time travelling clemmie au where she lands back at eight-years-old. but also wrote a fic where clemensia ends up back at eighteen right before the tributes arrive. and i have a pov swap from reaper’s perspective for their fic.

anyway, onto felix and clemmie in the past!

there’s a couple different ways i could see this going, but i’m going to assume in all these cases that they died around their 30s (probably coriolanus, for different reasons- clemensia was likely a risk for him since they were friends and he didn’t want anyone who knew him that closely to potentially turn on him, and felix’s family name gave him a political influence that coriolanus wanted to get rid of). anyway: 

i. back to the games

i think they’d catch onto each other pretty quickly in this case. with so little time before the tributes arrive, if they want to gain any kind of favor, it’s going to have to be pretty distinct. clemensia was just planning on going to the train station to meet reaper, when she finds out that everyone is heading to the station on account of felix insisting that it be made a class trip, if mentoring the tributes is meant to be a class assignment. 

clemensia puts it together quickly after that. there’s likely going to be some debate on whether she reveals to felix that she’s also a time traveller, and eventually decides it’d be more advantageous to loop him in. besides, since they’re mentoring the same district, it wouldn’t be odd to see them together ‘making plans’ as it were.

so she does. felix hasn’t actually realized that coriolanus was the one to get him killed yet, but that’s mostly because coriolanus kept himself more distanced when he killed felix. clemensia fills him in with her suspicions though, and after a quick panic over worrying there might be other time travellers among them, they start to make some plans.

short term plans include being better mentors & keeping any of their classmates from dying with clemensia handling the former since she’s more personable (felix objects to this, claiming he’s plenty charming, but he doesn’t win that argument) and felix dealing with the latter (because if there’s one thing that he can do by throwing his name around, it’s getting better security measures put in place).

it is much harder than expected to get dill the medicine she needs, and it ends with getting most (if not all) the tributes some better conditions out of ‘fairness’ (i.e. food, water, medicine, etc.) but doesn’t help with the fact that they’re all still in the zoo. except...it kind of does, because investing more materials also leads to many of the mentors investing more time, and somewhat growing pretty attached - not enough to do anything as drastic as actually speak out against the games, but enough to ‘conveniently not notice’ when a mysterious scuffle draws the peacekeepers’ attention away during the preparation for the tribute interviews and about a third of the tributes are gone by the time there’s a headcount.

there’s some talk about this being planned, but felix throws a fit about how dare you and what are you implying and this never would have happened if you knew how to do your jobs properly and don’t you know who i am?? they back of pretty quick after that. 

security around the zoo gets tighter in the days following, supposedly. mostly it’s just gaul heading announcements about what a threat the escaped tributes are. it’s not helped by the ‘tighter security�� being found unconscious one morning and the zoo enclosure completely empty. it throws the general capitol population into a bit of a frenzy. there are rumors and complaints about how the quality of peacekeepers have gone down drastically, though no one knows where they started (it was clemensia).

their original plan was nowhere near this, but with how little time they had to plan things out, they’re basically just manipulating everyone around them to turn a blind eye - the tributes aren’t stupid, they can tell which mentors are sympathetic enough to rely on. not trust, exactly, but that they know won’t get them punished.

with the chaos of the tributes’ escape being a huge distraction for most of the capitol higher-ups, felix and clemensia have to finally confront coriolanus - not about the murdering them in the future thing, since he wouldn’t know about that, but about his attitude (since he’s has been pretty upset and confused about clemensia being more distant with him lately for seemingly no reason). felix is all for going full spite and making sure he never gains any sort of power ever again. clemensia agrees, but it’s also a lot harder for her to separate herself from coriolanus considering she had considered him a pretty close friend right up until she had gotten killed.

realistically, things probably wouldn’t go this smoothly, but it’s more fun to think about the various shenanigans they get into undermining coriolanus & aiding the tributes while “100% definitely not involved whatsoever” with the escape.

ii. back to eighteen (start of year)

sneakiest of the three options - they’re old enough to properly use their family’s influence, but also have more than enough time to make more gradual change. it starts small: some comments here and there, testing the waters to see how much they can say and still have people agree. 

clemensia starts to drift away from coriolanus, whereas felix grows openly antagonistic with him. clemmie’s main goal is to undermine gaul though - she has not forgiven gaul about the snakes and would not like a repeat of being bitten, thank you very much. since clemensia and felix aren’t close friends anymore (they were closer when they were younger), it takes a while for either of them to realize that the other is different. 

sure, they’ve noticed some changes, but had attributed different attitudes to their own influence. some changes, though, they couldn’t explain, and it only really starts to make sense when they come to the “oh, you’re here too” realization. felix is on board with the deplatform gaul plan, but it’s still a pretty difficult endeavor considering gaul has a close relationship with the president. felix might be his great-nephew, but he doesn’t think he can undermine her that way. 

coriolanus throws an extra wrench into things by assuming that, with felix and clemensia spending more time together, that felix is the reason clemensia is pulling away from him. it turns into a mix of high school drama and political subterfuge, where somehow the former is much more difficult for either of them to deal with. 

iii. back to their childhood

in the case where they land back in war times, their experiences are pretty different. felix is mostly doing family bonding time because he now has the perspective to actually connect with his much older cousins. clemensia, on the other hand, is majorly lamenting having to do childhood all over again. she was an adult! with independence! and she has to do primary school again! 

also, since i’m so fond of inky_dream’s trio of clemmie, felix, and iphigenia - they are definitely childhood friends. they haven’t gotten a chance to meet as much around the war, so interactions are pretty brief during those years, but once the war is over, clemensia and felix start to get odd feelings that things are much more different…

clemensia: wasn’t felix more of a brat at this age? felix: i feel like clemensia was less forward at this age… clemmie & felix: wait a minute-

iphigenia is pretty sure her friends have a crush on each other and is internally giggling at all their interactions. what’s actually happening is clemensia and felix trying to subtly test out if the other is actually a time traveller or not without actually saying it aloud. it comes to a head when sejanus ends up moving to the capitol and clemensia befriends him. 

felix essentially goes “yeah, no. actual-eight-year-old clem wouldn’t have done that.” and confronts her in private. clemensia has her “i knew it” moment and now they’re on the same page…except they’re also physically eight and there is a limited number of things they can realistically do being this young. people are hardly going to listen to the opinions of not-even-pre-teens.

it does help that iphigenia has roped sejanus into her plan to get her friends together because anytime they need to privately talk to make plans, iphigenia and sejanus are more than willing to cover for them so they can “have some time alone ;)” 

basically, it’s nia and sej being silly kids. buuut…felix and clemmie don’t realize that iphigenia and sejanus have made that misconception and assume the opposite. 

iphigenia & sejanus: aww our friends have crushes <33 nia & sej: we should give them time alone nia, aloud: oh nooo - i just forgot that i have to do something far away from here sej, aloud: um, me too! i’ll join you. far away. ;D felix & clemmie: wow, iphigenia and sejanus must really like each other if they keep trying to leave the two of us to they can be together. that’s cute. and it gives us the chance to get some private time to plan!

this one’s a mix of fluff and angst - lower stakes since they’re much younger and have more time, but also they’ve pretty much lost everyone they knew. if they change things, all the people they knew will grow up to be different people. similar, maybe, but not the same. and as much as they try to forget that, it’s not easy seeing those familiar faces and realizing that the differences they create are shaping different people too.

i do like to think everything works out for the better though ^^

(these were all written with felix & clemmie as a friendship, but they could easily dip into a felix/clemensia romance - especially for scenario #3 where they really only have each other to talk to since everyone else is treating them like children.)

thanks for the ask! :D

RC9GN Role Swap AU

This is a very standard age/role swap AU but uh, with a twist because I'm extra like that! So, for starters we do have Randy and the First Ninja switching roles right from the get-go (as that's kind of what this idea is meant to be about-)

Also fair warning, this is an extremely long post-

But okay, let's start with the obvious- the characters that get swapped are literally just Randy -> First Ninja and Howard -> Plop Plop/Hinata. As for the rest of the canons, like Norrisville High students- I don't think they're necessarily being swapped but they might just be from a different time period hahah. McFist, Viceroy, and the Sorcerer (alongside the Sorceress) are still the main antagonists and villains because there's no way I'm coming up with entirely new enemies right now-

Now, onto Finja because he is the title lead!

His entire family, and they are a big family, are immigrants from Japan. They moved to Norrisville after a promotion at one the jobs Finja's parents work at- which leads to the move and Finja is not exactly happy to be there because he thinks Norrisville is a Speck of Odd(TM)

The closest equivalent I could find to the rest of his family still being something similar to ninjas is by, well, having his parents run a dojo- it's honestly massive tradition for their kids (and they literally have nine of them) to train at the dojo. Finja is one of the youngest in his family, so he's about to start being a freshman at Norrisville High. The weird timeline has them moving in early/mid May and classes start around September

Finja's not vibing with anything in the town, so he's kind of not really made friends with anyone- except for a boy in his block named Hinata who just decided to speak to him one day and didn't leave. Within a month or two of him arriving, Finja receives the mask and the Nomicon- making him the Ninja of Norrisville. He's not fully happy with this, but since he was thrust into the role- and it's now his responsibility, he decides to accept. Thankfully, his parents having the dojo helps him adjust with being the Ninja

Now Finja has... the shortest level of patience one has ever seen- he's a fast learner, at least, and always makes sure to do what's right but he's very short-tempered. He's also known for his disregard of following certain rules, purely out of the intent to prove his own worth. Unlike OG Randy however, he understands the lessons a little faster but still struggles at times because he's... literally fourteen but moving on-

Much like canon, McFist and Viceroy make their debut appearance on the first day Finja attends Norrisville High- and Finja has less patience dealing with a whole rampaging robot than Randy does, and that's even with the fact Randy loved being the Ninja

Shenanigans continue taking place as you would expect from the show, but at some point- we have the shift from McFist and Viceroy to the Sorcerer taking center stage and Finja is probably about to go fucking feral. I want to say that there's a parallel episode to 13th Century Ninja in this role swap AU where Finja goes back and officially meets Randy- because if I can't have mentor-mentee with canon, I will have it here!

So, then we have Randy and Howard-

Things branch off after this where Randy is quite literally, an ageless being that currently resides in the Nomicon (not that Finja's aware of this until much later-), and Howard, uh- is more gray area and I don't want to reveal too much but let's just say that Howard is permanently linked to the tengu! You'll find out what tha means later, but neither Randy nor Howard are normal- if it isn't because of the fact they're literally immortal and connected to the Nomicon, it's also since they are the weirdest flavor of queer one has ever seen

Similar to OG Finja, Randy was part of this smaller clan that would protect various towns, villages, and areas from monsters and the Sorcerer, but of course- all of it ended in tragedy. Left the sole survivor, Randy sobered out after a while but still did his part until eventually something went a little south and he was soul-bound to the nomicon he made

Leaving the rest vague because I am mean and, well, it'll all be revealed later. (today's literally become of a question of how many more au's will i be making until i get sick and tired of making them- the answer is all of them /lh)

but okay, so- the Sorcerer is much more of a threat because I will be as self indulgent with this AU as I can, and i just want this to be slightly more serious! Also, there might be more 'seasons' depending on the direction I want to take with the verse!

Though to keep going-

This role swap isn't strictly an age/role-swap! What this literally means is I might genuinely be imploring my own lore when it comes to Finja's entire family- and the fact I have to make them actual characters for this, so

I am personally of the belief that the Norisu clan are tied to back to the origins of the Ninja- (and if this purely about referencing how I do believe Randy's a descendant somehow, I have no idea what you're talking about-) but also, I sort of?? wanted to make something with the rest of Finja's siblings though I'm not entirely sure what that's going to be yet since it may contradict canon (however this is an AU and I will write this how I want to hahah)

Anyway,

Some More Infodumping + Headcanons

Finja has literally no interest in the Sorceress but due to how Sorcerer in Love works- something will likely happen anyway. The First Ninja just feels ace-coded, so he's not crushing on her; however due to plot reasons, he's kind of going to go through it anyway

Despite Hinata being the parallel to Howard, they're obviously different character-wise. Hinata worries constantly over Finja but he also acknowledges there was a reason he got chosen and, well, I have plans

Is Hinata also going to be linked to the tengu? Maybe- despite Howard being perma-bound to the tengu, this doesn't mean others can't also be linked. There's... lore for this but I have to be careful with what I say for now

I think I might do a parallel episode to Nomirandy-

We'll see what more I can come up with later to be honest! I don't have much else right now, and the constant brainrot has me wanting to write another thing soon-

Random TGCF AU of the Day

This started as PX ramblings in the original vs the revision but between my want for some kind of SWD & PX relationship and a certain realization about PX’s revised backstory…

Pei Xiu vs the Black Water Arc

Pei Xiu’s revised backstory is pretty tragic. A bright shining star and kind happy person, Pei Xiu’s life is ruined when he joins a martial arts tournament and shows up a general’s son that was favored to win the thing. His family is convicted on false charges, his parents and younger siblings are exiled somewhere and PX himself is pressed into the army, the only one of them the right age for it.

He then spends the rest of his life doing whatever it takes to move up the ranks so he can get save his family culminating in his massacre of the Banyue kingdom… and his reward is finding out they’d all died years ago :D

(and also Banyue’s death)

I imagine canonically he gets some semblance of healing in the form of a good mentor and CO in Pei Ming (not enough to maybe not murder innocents in an incredibly convoluted plot to save his girlfriend but well…) but with a backstory like that I feel like there’s a certain scholar from Fugu he might also feel some kinship with

So he does his homework. Pei Xiu is smart-ish and puts together some pieces about the scholar from Fugu and a certain low key ghost king and hatches a plan.

Rather than the convoluted murder plot, he’ll get the ghost king to save Banyue. And in exchange he’ll be the ghost king’s eyes and ears in heaven and help him with whatever evil plots he’s plotting

he_xuan.exe promptly stops working.

On the one hand this is the most absurd thing he’s had to deal with in centuries and he has half a mind to kill Pei Ming’s idiot descendant on the spot. PX only figured out that he’s the scholar from Fugu, nothing about the fate swap or the earth master, and he’d prefer to keep it that way.

On the other hand, He Xuan does, in fact, feel bad for Banyue, and PX has three things going for him:

1. As Pei Ming’s protege, he has an easier in with Shi Wudu

2. He’s a better (read: less of a dick about it) source of funds than Hua Cheng

3. He’s good with the bone fish

[quibbs126]

I saw you were doing requests. Could you do Blueberry Pie x Eclair fankid?Or possibly Caviar x Black Pearl one? Take your time with it!

This time I did both, we have Chess Pie Cookie and Sea Tempest Cookie

I think I named Chess Pie that because it was a pie, but also more of a yellow/brown color. I think I wanted a pie name that wasn’t a fruit. I don’t remember, it’s been a long time since I named her

Chess pie:

Sea Tempest was originally Abalone, I think because it was another sea creature, but I wanted to change it. I made it Sea Tempest I think because I wanted a name that was storm sounding. It was just a place holder, but then I couldn’t think of anything better, so yeah

For designs, so Chess Pie is supposed to be a student in Parfaedia, so her design is mostly based on Cream Puff’s academy outfit, assuming that’s their uniform. Gave her a long dress, gloves and a book to more reference her parents. I made her eyes brown because I thought it worked better with her color scheme, even if BBP and Eclair don’t have them. Also I gave her glasses since both of them have some sort of spectacle. I quite like her design

As for Sea Tempest, I wanted to make her have a sort of pirate/stormy look to her, if that makes any sense. I think she was mostly inspired by an edit I saw of Capsaicin with either Black Pearl or Prune Juice’s colors that made me think of a storm god of some kind, which she kind of is (though just in a demigod sense). The black jacket I just sort of imagined in my head and wanted to put on there. As for the rest of the outfit, I didn’t have much clue, and honestly I took most inspiration from @cosmicwhoreo ‘s role swap au Black Pearl. I gave her the reds and yellow because I was sticking mostly to dull blues and black/white, and I felt like she needed some variety in her colors. I think she’s fine

Oh right, another thing about Sea Tempest, I feel like she needs a hat of some kind, but I don’t know what

As for the characters, so as mentioned, Chess Pie is a student at Parfaedia, and is an avid magic user, wanting to learn all she can. Unlike her parents, she’s rather socially adept, even if she’s a bit introverted at times. She’s very friendly and open, and is willing to help other struggling students if she sees it.

Also, as you can tell by the sketch, she knows Cream Puff, and she acts as a mentor for Chess Pie and a close friend (I’ll be honest I half assed a design for adult Cream Puff. I wanted to give her a wizard hat like Latte but that was as far as any creativity got)

Now on to Sea Tempest, so she’s a member of the navy like her father, whom she lives with, though she tends to be a bit reckless. She’s very bombastic and loud, and just generally likes having a good time. She’s also very large, she’s even taller than her father, making him look somewhat short by comparison (which is supposed to be a reference to how big Black Pearl is). She likes to be out at sea more than anything, and feels most at home out there. Also, storms and tempests tend to follow her when out at sea, which makes people hesitant to be on a boat with her, but she’s always able to get her ship out just fine, you just have to have a lot of faith in her

I mentioned something about her being some sort of storm demigod, and I’ll be honest, I haven’t fleshed that out other than the whole “storms follow her” thing. But she’d be a Super Epic in terms of rarity, given her mother’s a Legendary

Speaking of her mother, Sea Tempest has met her, but they only meet on occasion, since people aren’t really supposed to know Caviar had a kid with the sovereign of the Duskgloom Sea. Also due to her heritage, as you can see in the sketch, while Sea Tempest has legs, when in the water, she turns into a Mer-Cookie, like Sorbet Shark. However unlike them she can speak coherently in both. This is usually the form she takes when visiting her mother

I think that’s about it. I definitely had more to talk about in terms of Sea Tempest, but also I feel like there’s some more interesting stuff there, if I’m being honest. But yeah, hope you enjoy them!

makoharuann arcanaswap au? 👀 (oh and legends arceus with p5 but i might do a seperate ask for that one lol)

Didhfofhf okay yes Ill share some of the new arcana swap :)

Starting with a list of some of the Arcana

It's Fool Ann, with Magician Yusuke. He's a little Fox in the real world, but Ann gaslights everyone that he's a weird dog named Inari

Ann's Hierophant is Sae, but she's less mother/father figure and more, parole officer. Cause she used to be one, but recently has slowed her life down, after losing her parents and an "incident" with her sister

We've got Chariot Joker, who was the discus thrower for the Shujin Track team, but his wrist was broken before the competition and the team was downsized to just Track, no Field. And Lovers Ryuji, rumoured to be "going for the other side", so. Hes an outcast

Okay rapid fire: Empress Futaba, Priestess Shiho, Justice Hifumi, and Faith Goro

Alright. And, now, for the other gals

Haru is the Emperor. She's a dancer working under a famed choreographer, but in reality Haru choreographs her own routines and gives her mentor credit. Haru wants to discover the ends and limits of the human spirit to show off in her dancing

And Hermit Makoto! She watched her parents die. Her father was a Good Cop, genuinely, a captain who worked for the people, and her mother was a lan assistant for the team looking into cognitive psience. So. They were assassinated. The research was never found, and Makoto watches her big sister slowly give up all she worked for, and, her heart distorts. Her house is a prison, and she's warden and prisoner. But, shes awaiting execution

Ann meets Haru outside a train station. Haru runs into her, and gasps all loud. Ann assumes she hurt her, the boys waiting for her to join them on the way to school, and Haru has fucking hearts in her eyes. She wants to explore this feeling, and asks Ann to dance

In the middle of the street

After they knocked each other over

They go through the palace with the leader thats definitely not Abby from Dance Moms and Haru joins the team. She's tamer with her statements of affection towards Ann, but her social link is all about dancing and not denying herself of feeling, and there would be lots of charged moments of them slow dancing to "feel the connection, Ann-chan!"

They kiss at the summer fireworks. The others are inside the convenience store buying towels, anything to dry off, and Haru dances in the rain. She holds out a hand, and Ann takes it, and they dance and laugh as they get soaked, and, stare into each other's eyes...

Ann: woah,

Haru: indeed, oh my, I don't think I've ever, felt so elated before,

They don't have time to put it in words, because Medjed happens, and Ann receives some texts from a "Justicia". Then, they find out Sae's sister has been living in her basement this whole time, still recovering from watching their parents go off a bridge. She's scared of people, and sounds like a conspiracy theorist, and they decide to steal her heart

They meet two shadow Makoto's in her Palace. Or, rather, her shadow has two forms. The Warden Makoto is her age, resolute in the fact that the government wouldn't have turned on her parents if they hadn't talked about switching careers for Makoto's sake, to be around for her more. Then there's Prisoner Makoto, on "death row".

Prisoner Shadow Makoto is the age she was when her parents died, so like, 12. Small, accepting of her fate, scared. So, so scared.

Anyways she changes her own heart with help, and remembers where the old research was, and talks to Sae about therapy, to get back her life

She helps them with Medjed, first. If she can hack into government databanks to try to find research her mom helped with, she can stop whatever is happening. After that, she falls asleep, holding the "weird dog" Inari, leaning against Ann

Something flutters in her chest. It's the same feeling she got dancing with Haru, but... She's already pretty much in a relationship,

She talks to her Priestess, Shiho, and Shiho admits that sometimes things aren't, cookie cutter perfect. Like, she's already dating a girl, public opinion be damned. Why not add another in?

Ann and Haru talk. About them, and what they want, and, about their new teammate. Who, at that time, is still spending a lot of time recovering from her awakening. They put off adding relationship stress to her plate, but, spend time with her as she gets better

Makoto falls slower, by comparison. She doesn't really know when her heart started to warm up when she'd wake up to one or both of them already in her basement room. But she smiles more, and slowly opens up. Ann feels her heart explode when she walks down the steps after putting away their dinner plates and finding Makoto sleeping already, all leaned against a starstruck Haru

The three work it out before summer ends. Makoto's already graduated from online high school, and Haru and Ann go to different schools, so their afternoons and evenings are precious. Makoto has more reason to push herself in therapy, to be able to go on dates with her beautiful girlfriends

Sleepovers happen a whole lot. Haru lives alone, and Ann is in a shop attic, so, basement sleepovers! The three sharing sleepy kisses, maybe even getting matching pjs. All three are touch starved, so there's a lot of time spent lying around together while doing their own things

Just. Yeah. Gay Triad Arcana Swap.

14 for the purim asks!

OKAY OKAY SO lmk swap au where red son is the monkie kid HEAR ME OUT

Okay, so let's start with this, monkey king? EVIL. The dragons? EVIL.

After the passing of the remainder of the jttw squad, Monkey King relapses into his old ways. Ao Lie, the only living one among the group, turns evil with him.

The brotherhood realized the error of their ways, and took to protecting the people on Earth. "Brothers, we may not be able to over throw the throne. But, we can make a better place, here. We stand with the people, and we will protect them!"

DBK pissed off Monkey King while protect people Monkey King was trying to conquer and Monkey King trapped him a mountain.

Red Son manages to pick up the staff and free his father, much to the anger of The Monkey King— who had already chosen a successor, The Monkey Prince Qi Xiaotian.

No one is angrier that Xiaotian himself, who is humiliated by Red Son kicking his butt the first time they meet and declares Red Son to be his nemesis.

Meanwhile, Xiaotian's best friend Mei, is trying to prove herself to her parents by taking over the city and then, from there, the world. With the power of friendship and this really big sword she stole from her parents, there's nothing she can't do!

I'm also going to mention that Lady Bone Demon isn't evil, but she's still creepy and always talking about destiny. She is Red Son's mysterious and often unhelpful mentor.

I will also mention that Macaque is STILL working for LBD and he hates it— the only positive to it is that he gets to be against Monkey King, who uhhh killed him on purpose at some point.

Red Son works part time for Spider Queen, who wants to take over the city. As in, have her business be very very successful and 'take over the city'.

OKAY I will also clarify that everyone's personalities are basically the same as canon with a few minor differences.

BASICALLY it's a morality swap— the good guys are bad guys and the bad guys are good guys

I realized, about halfway through writing this, that I'd lost control of myself. This has spiralled completely out of control. I'm working on a character list. I have an idea for a joke comic. I'm doomed

Hi!!! Can I hear abt that Mei fic you’re working on? (Unless it’s a surprise :)

For sure!!

So it's one of those swap aus but the swaping really isn't cut and dry (except for one or two exceptions) so like Ao Lie swaps with Wukong in the sense that he's now the immortal mentor character

but anyways here's all the main (established) swaps:

Pigsy/Zhu Bajie ←→ DBK  Tang/Tripy - PIF / Macaque PIF - Tang/Tripy / Pigsy/Zhu Bajie Macaque - Tang/Tripy / Wukong  Wukong - Macaque  Mei - MK MK - Red Son  Red Son - Mei / MK  Ao Lie - Wukong  Sandy ←→ Nezha 

So yeah the swaps are kind of messy but at the end of the day it works story wise. Also some things aren't quite like the show/jttw, like Wukong "takes" Macaque's place and dies but he stays dead and other stuff like that.

And when i write the fic i'm planning on making a go along series that will follow Wukong and his journey in the past to help explain how things ended up like during modern day with Mei

but enough about the swap stuff we want Mei. SO Mei has water based powers (no fire) and the staff (monkey king's staff only it's not monkey king's staff anymore it Ao Lie because Ao Guang gave Ao Lie the staff so he use it to protect himself on Ao lie's Journey to the west). The staff is semi-sentient (inspired by stick from Netflix's monkey king movie) and chose Mei as a master leaving it position guarding two very dangerous people. As for the water powers she inherited them from her dragon family (grandpa is dragon king of the west sea and all) though surprisingly her water powers are really strong which makes up for her lack of ability to turn into a dragon (in the eyes (some members) of her family.) Her water powers allow her to control bodies of water/Hydrokinesis (tho she struggles more with creating water/rain), breath underwater and handle deep sea pressures, have perfect bearing while at sea, and understand/control some sea creatures to a limited extent. Being in contact with water will also empower her to some extent. Despite all this it takes her a long time to unlock her hidden potential.

Moving on: Mei is best friends with Red Son and works for his parents at "Bull's Barbecue" where she's delivery girl (bc hey she swapped with mk). Her (kind of depressed) dad is Macaque who tells her a lot of stories about the heroes of old, but wait I hear you asking me "what happened to her parents?" well that maybe related to her power set...

but yeah there you go, a quick au Mei over view.

So, from your blog, I know you dislike ships between underage and adults (e.g : Gojo/Yuuji, Mob/Reigen, etc), right? But does it mean you also dislike age gap ships or if the underage characters are aged up, maybe? Like, what if in a fanfic, Mob is in early 20s and Reigen in his mid 30s, it's not weird, right? (My own parents have 20 years age gaps, my mum met my dad when she was 22, and he was 42).

So, I want to give you this fic rec called "in my dreams (i seem to be more honest)" by angeltalk and dandelionbeach, with Mob is 20 and Reigen is 34. It's so amazing! The story and characters are great! I was not a Mobrei shipper until I read this fic. No OOC at all. It's more like a character study of Reigen fic (if you're a fan for his character, you'll love reading it). It's slow burn but so worth it ..And there is Reigen/Serizawa bit (but they're not endgame). Please read them if you have the time and sorry if you still don't like them...

I can't lie I tend not to like ships where one half knew the other as a child while they were an adult especially if they were a significant adult in the child's life. Reignen has known mob since he was about 8-10 I think and he has functioned as a kind of mentor figure for him. And that's not really my jam. It's less about the age gap and more about the previous relationship.

But like hey if they are both adults I'm fine with the ship and I'll try anything once. I don't read alot of Mob Psycho fanfiction and when I do it's usually age swap aus, but I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
