#Queen of Beast Island AU

[honey-minded-hivemind]

👻Parent morph!🌫 au🤝wings of fire au🐉

So you know how moonwatcher got left in the rainforest by her mom?

Yeah imagine that happening to nightwing dragonet!reader and their found by a random raining to be brought to queen!morph, who is like "huh....AWESOME FREE EGG"

Granted the nightwing mother will come looking for her egg BUT queen morph and their harem aint Givin no baby back, especially if reader hatched before the mom came looking for them.

Oh. Oh, you got quite the idea. Yes, we're doing it.

I imagine the NightWing parent in question is either grumpy, tired, panicking dad dragon Wolverine, or the annoyed, cunning, fearful NightWing version of Mystique. I'm gonna go with Wolverine right now.

He had his egg, he hid it, amd he kept checking it over and over again, so it wouldn't be raised on a death trap of an island where the other NightWings (ferals and more muderous/dangerous mutants) were. Yet did it work? No, because some sorry, eel-minded, son of a slug eggnapped his baby. And he will NOT stand for it. So he hunts down the scent, tracking it...

RainWing Queen Morph had quite the odd discovery by one of their guards tonight! A cute little egg! It's all silvery, which isn't normal... but the poor thinh must have been abandoned! But no worries, it has a new mama/papa: Them! Of course, they'll have to make sure the dragonet inside isn't hurt or sick once it's hatched, as they aren't sure how normal a silver egg is, or if it's even a RainWing inside... And ooooohhhhh, what's this? Someone says they had an intruder, in their kingdom? A large beast of a dragon? Humph! Well, they'll see about that!

Cue slender, majestic, shimmering RainWing Queen Morph meeting burly, strong, brooding NightWing Wolverine... And now they're trying not to blush, and trying not to show weakness, especially when they ask about an egg, which, um, that's THEIR egg, large dark and handsome!

NightWing Wolverine: Who the... fr*ggin bloody mooons are y'u..? is recovering from a few RainWing sleeping darts

RainWing Queen Morph: Hello there! Why, I should be asking who YOU are! But, well, you can call me, Your Majesty~ If you don't want to be dunked in quicksand!

NightWing Wolverine: ... Wh't...?

RainWing Queen Morph: And you can't have that egg back! Its mine now! How dare you abandon it?! It's just a small, tiny thing! It's too small for an egg! What did you do to it?!

NightWing Wolverine: Dragon, I brought it here so it wouldn't die! Our home is full of ashes and death! If I left it there, it wouldn't have made it! So yeah, sorry, I brought it here! You can fo what you want with me, but if you so much as crack it's fragile shell, I'll make you wish you were dead and buried in lava!

RainWing guards: 😱😨😖😠

RainWing healers: 😰����😢🥺

RainWing Queen Morph: ... You poor, sad, stoic dragon... I'm still not letting your egg go back to that... death trap of a home you have... but... I could always use one more loyal guard~ What do you say? Join me, and you and your egg can live long, happy, death-free lives here, in our paradise of a home! Just... no more rotten dead things, please. The smell is gross...

NightWing Wolverine: Deal. Now give me my egg!

RainWing Queen Morph: Our egg!

NightWing Wolverine: 👀🤨 Ookay... our egg...

RainWing Queen Morph: 😁😄😃🥰😍💖💛💜

(And then they end up falling in love, and oh, what's this, another dragon partner for Morph? Oh well, apparently every adult (except maybe Xavier and Magneto?) likes them, enough to marry them, for convenience, for love, or to be closer to Reader-)

As promised, I present Glimmer for my Shera Swap AU!

This is the design I’m most excited about because Glimmer has the most changes to her origins out of all the characters

In this AU, Lord Hordak sent both Angelica and Michah to Beast Island, but attempted to use Angelica’s dna to make an immortal clone of himself. Instead he wound up with an accidental daughter that is extremely headstrong and loyal to him.

Hordak is basically like: God fucking dammit. Guess I’m a dad now.

But if anyone harms Glimmer he will annihilate them.

Glimmer becomes besties with Adora and Bow, which solidifies their loyalty to the horde.

She fights constantly Catra and competes with her over everything, which solidifies Catra getting shunned and outcasted by the Horde.

Shadow Weaver’s manipulation doesn’t work in Glimmer because she out manipulates her.

Glimmer puts the fact that she’s theoretically immortal to the test. Constantly. Her father is incredibly stressed out by this.

Laudie, Rogelio, and Kyle don’t like Glimmer because she’s a huge snitch, she constantly picks fights and competes with people, and she treats Kyle like an errand boy.

Out of respect for Adora and Bow, she hasn’t killed anyone…

(Yet)

When Catra betrays the Horde, Glimmer is unphased.

Glimmer: It was bound to happen eventually. She has the loyalty of a thief.

Bow: Actually thieves tend to be really loyal to their team…

Glimmer: I- well… Sometimes, I guess, but you know what I meant.

Glimmer is the only one of the Best Friend Squad that never questions the Horde or its motives. Not in the beginning at least. It’s only when she learns about Queen Angelica and King Micah that she considers betraying the Horde, but that won’t be until a long way off.

She’s also the reason Entrapta betrays the Horde and joins the Rebellion, since she constantly abuses Entrapta’s loyalty and talks badly about her, then blatantly doesn’t care when Entrapta gets captured during the first invasion of Bright Moon.

Glimmer: Oh my gosh! This is amazing! Now Bow gets to be promoted!

Bow and Adora: Glimmer now is not the time. We are grieving the loss of a friend.

Glimmer: But she was so annoying

Laudie: (sarcasm) Hmm. I wonder why people keep betraying us.

Adora and Glimmer: Not now Laudie!

Anywho

When Glimmer discovers a connection to the Moon Stone, she doesn’t form her connection yet. Mainly cause I realized if she does connect with it that activates the huge mega weapon. She just senses the connection. However it’s enough that she starts getting ill afterwards, and Hordak allows a second invasion to steal the moon stone so that it can be studied.

Shadow Weaver tries to prevent the research of the Moon Stone because she doesn’t want the Horde to find out about the weapon built into Etheria. This is what results in her imprisonment.

Glimmer’s really just going to be at the core of everything that goes wrong for the Horde, but she makes up for it by being a power house after she connects with the moon stone.

That is until she tries to go to Beast Island and Adora knocks her out to stop that from happening

But I think I said she ends up on Beast Island anyways?

I don’t remember how but yeah. She will end up there and Bow will join the Princess Alliance in order to save her, since it’s not like Adora can go to Hordak and be like: So, hey, uh… Your daughter got sent to Beast Island. Whoops.

But yeah after Glimmer reunites with Queen Angelica and King Micah she sides with the Alliance and tries to form a bond with her technical mother. Unfortunately Angelica is very hesitant about this artificial child of herself and her worst enemy and also just naturally gets along with Adora more when Adora switches sides.

This of course makes Glimmer angy

Then eventually Glimmer and Adora try to steal back the Moon Stone for the Rebellion so Angelica and Glimmer can be at full power.

Glimmer fully connects with the Moon Stone while Catra is trying to get answers from Light Hope and this activates the Weapon

Then when Catra destroys the weapon Adora, Glimmer, and Hordak (who tried to kill Adora at this time and technically capture Glimmer) get kidnapped onto the ship.

The only reason Glimmer isn’t killed instantly by Horde Prime for being an abomination is because Adora reveals that Glimmer is a key part of the weapon. From there Glimmer is able to advocate for both herself and Adora.

When Catra saves Adora, Bow saves Glimmer. At this point Glimmer tries to convince Bow that she can’t go back to the planet because she’s part of the weapon and Horde Prime can’t have access to it. She believes that Angelica will never care about her and that she needs to stay here with her father because that’s where she belongs, assuming she can convince Horde Prime she isn’t an abomination and is useful to him.

Bow tells Glimmer that it doesn’t matter what Horde Prime or Angelica think. That Glimmer has a family in Adora and himself. He tells her that if she’s nicer to others, that if she treats them with respect, she can find a family in Catra, Scorpia, Entrapta, and the rest of the alliance too. Glimmer agrees to go and Bow helps her figure out how to apologize to everyone for how she’s treated them.

I’m thinking Glimmer will have a really deep ark over the course of the war against Horde Prime where she’s slowly trying to rebuild her relationships with everyone. At some point I think it will be too difficult for her, and she’ll lash out, which will cause Bow to snap at her. The risk of losing her friendship with Bow snaps Glimmer out of her stubbornness, and her attempts become more genuine and vulnerable.

As she slowly grows more patient and more open minded, people start to form genuine friendships with her. Once she becomes her best self and has found strength in kindness and sincerity, feelings develop between herself and Bow.

At the end of the AU’s ‘Season 5’, Angelica will tell Glimmer how proud she is of her, and accept Glimmer as her daughter. Micah, who got along with Glimmer from the get go despite not being her biological father, is happy with this decision and essentially adopts Glimmer as his step daughter.

Hordak still remains her co-dad due to his own redemption ark, but since I’m not sure whether or not I’ll keep Entrapdac since it doesn’t work too well with my plans for Entrapta in this AU, I’ll have to figure out who his ark is centered around. It could be that rather than someone actively pulling him out of Horde Prime’s influence, he fights on his own to reunite with his daughter and protect her.

Yeah, I like that. I think that will be a good story.

So yeah! That’s Glimmer for this AU.

I was thinking of doing Entrapta next, but designing her in Hero Forge would be hard because they don’t have really long pig tails.

I’ll probably do Catra since she’s like, the main character in this au.

David Haller lives with his father on a Greek island called Krakoa and basically can't complain. He's young and healthy, a very strong telepath. He's going to marry the girl he loves. Everything seems to be perfect. Except one thing. Since David remembers he could feel some sort of loneliness and emptiness from his father's mind. Like Charles is missing something deep inside. Something or someone. When David finds his father's old diary, everything becomes obvious.

So he sends wedding invitations to three past lovers of Charles Xavier - Erik Lehnsherr, Logan Howlett, and Hank McCoy - to see which one of them will fill the hole in his father's heart.

This is your X-men Mamma Mia AU which includes Sophie!David, dilf Charles, ever dilfier Erik, sassy Logan, and very spontaneous Hank "The Beast" McCoy. With special guests of crazy aunties Emma and Raven from "Professor X and the Dynamos"

Hold on tight and bow to your Dancing Queen

Siblings socials: The beast's lair

Fandom: BBC’s Merlin (post-canon, modern magic) AU AU: The Pendragon siblings return (sequel: modern magic) Series: Siblings socials — [ Reblogs > Likes | No AI involved ] —

You thought Arthur, being a former king, would always be the master in any couple or pairing? Well, think better. Morgana is more than willing to prove the world that is Merlin the serval who commands between the two.

———————————————————————————————

Morgana, the famed once Queen of Camelot and socials star, has taken her duties of chronicling her brother Arthur's adjusting to the modern world very seriously. If she has a chance to humiliate him, in face of the legendary epitome of noble warrior built around him during the centuries, she will do it gladly, not even hiding a smirking during the whole time. As socials love cats, who is she to deprive the socials from pics of Merlin the grumpy serval? The fact that Arthur is sleeping in an idiotic pose on the background is just a bonus point.

More about the AU under the cut. (More fanworks from this AU at the links above) (More fanworks about the prequel here)

———————————————————————————————

About the AU The story is a sequel to the The Pendragon Sibling. Eventually, the druid give the royal couple a serval as gift for their renowned peace between the throne and the magic people. The servan turns out to be a very magical boy. At the same time Morgana acquires a puma, who happens to be the disguise of an High Priestess. I elaborated a bit here. * Not even the union of the Pendragon siblings, as King of Lands and Queen of Avalon and royal couple ruling over Camelot, with Morgause the High Priestesses of the old religion and Emrys the immortal dragonlord as their shadows and mates, is enough to prevent Arthurs tragic end at Camlann at the hands of the traitor Mordred. After Camlann, Merlin withdraws in his own pain, while Queen Morgana rules wisely for the next decades, assuring that the golden age of Camelot continues. When the time to retire from the mortal life comes, Morgana, with her loyal companion Morgause and Merlin, retires on the island at the center of the lake Avalon, taking residence in the tower standing there. Centuries pass, between long sleeps and new lives in the world outside. But magic, for a series or undisclosed circumstances, have been slowly fading in the lands outside of Avalon since the Siblings balance was lost with the death of Arthur. The more they are away from the island, center of the Old Magic, the more the contact is faint, and both Morgause and Merlin feel the need to stay in their animal forms. Until magic is so weak that they are stuck in their animal form even when staying at the tower. In the 21th century Morgana is following an academic career. Every morning, during breakfast, she keeps the tv on to make some background sounds. One morning the BBC's morning program suddenly switches to a live from the town of Avalon, for news about some odd happenings at the lake. The country wonders if this is the day when King Arthur will finally raise. There has been many false alarm. This morning is different, though. Morgana, with her two felines, rushes to the lake through magic and is there to see Arthur emerge from the waters. Merlin, a one-century-and-half ancient serval, attacks everyone present, Arthur included, and Arthur himself is forced to draw Excalibur to suffuse the situation, before his sister is arrested and his feline mate put down as the rabid cat he is. After the necessary time to familiarize with a world that is completely different from the one he remembers, Morgana introduces Arthur to the marvels of the socials and together they become Twitter stars, entertaining people with their commentaries on Arthurian-related productions and their bickering. Between Morgana's interviews and bits shared by Arthur on socials, the world is revealed that the Matter of Britain is mostly made of lies and exaggerations. BBC reaches out to Morgana to collaborate to write a series that would tell the true story of the Pendragons. Morgana launches herself in the project with eagerness. As the search for a proper location to set Camelot is about to start, Morgana hints that she might has the original castle miniaturized and preserved by magic and she would be amenable to make available as set, as long as the production covers the costs of restoration. Thus the Pendragons get their old nest back restored to its golden days free of charge, and Arthur can return to live in his natural habitat. Eventually, the true identity and nature of the felines, believed to be just animals given immortality by magic and relics of the golden age of Camelot, will be revealed, But that's another story for another time.

———————————————————————————————

Notes Initially, this - the original screencap minus the serval - was supposed to be an Instagram-mock shared by the Merlin of the National Treasure instagram AU, but I didn't have the text ready and was thus stuck since 2018. Some months ago I decided to switch the poster from Merlin to the Morgana of this AU. It made no sense for Morgana to share a pic of her sleeping brother without Merlin the serval around, so the idea of putting a serval on the bed came. Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) A nightmare. I couldn't find a serval pic that fit with the perspective required. And when I did, they came with dark shadows on their legs I couldn't fix. So I had to use the blankets to mask here and there, which came with another challenge on its own. Instagram graphic made all by-hand, with much moving/copy/pasting and, especially, a wearying research to find out which font the website used. No template site. Since I created my own template, it won't reflect any future changes the platform might make (I have no intention of modify my template).

[itsyamajesty]

[I don't know how to do a masterpost, so this is going to get ALOT of edits]

The way this went is just that one ProZD skit (alternatively, "we doing circles now?")

I be thinking about all this stuff for Curse of Freedom (story based AU)

Then brain latches onto Rising Charcoal AU

"Guess this is happening now"

Rising Charcoal AU

Cookie Run Kingdom AU by (ya) Majesty

Based on 3 original what ifs:

Dark Enchantress wins

The Ancients are gone (missing, trapped, dead? Who knows, they aren't here to save anyone)

The Beasts have awaken, much weaker

(more below)

'Proper' Plot Description

(some things are ommitted because this is WIP, plus there's some stuff I want to be mysteries)

Most cookies have lost count of how long ago it happened.

The Ancients lost, they were split apart, and she took over.

Despite best efforts, the fighting was in vain. Are the Ancients dead... or simply captured? For some, the answer is clear, but with only the words of the darkness to listen to?

Is it true all hope is lost?

The Hollyberry Kingdom has been invaded by deadly poisons and crimson curses, all cookies who escape the jungles fall to the puppeteered Pitaya Dragon. The biggest settlement remaining is in a deep ravine, everyday spent planning against the fruit dragon, with the expectation of some trying all they can to free them from a hopeless spell.

The Dark Cacao Kingdom appears safer than ever before. Ruled by duel tyrants, the manipulative poisoneer and possessed knight. Together they've achieved a balance between protection of the public and the posh, a paradise most chose to reside. In truth, the smile of the snake and the sayings of the sword are not safe to believe.

The Golden Cheese Kingdom are wastes from which the licorice scented dead rise, clawing their way towards a small settlement of the Sand Slices, protected by shredding sandstorms caused by a surviving deity and the purple smoke of a revived advisor.

The entirety of Beast-Yeast has turned into various factories of unknown products, all being sent towards a laboratory on the island south. Some of these factories however are in ruin, covered by twirling vines and the aura of faerie magic.

In the Vanilla Kingdom, Dark Enchantress rules over it all.

Most other settlements have already been stampeded over by cake monsters, the larger being taken down by large creatures even the best will struggle to clash against.

It should have been this moment that all faith left- and yet hope had returned.

For unknown reason with unknown creators, the Beast Cookies awoke in bodies for their own. They had many new abilities with their vessels, but they were all much weaker overall.

In a fight for the world's fate, the Beasts' wish for conquest fades.

Guided by shards of their lost power, holding the memories of kings and queens who gained their power after, and now before, them.

Fighting it or not.

Their original selves are destined to return.

If they don't, the fate of Earthbread is sealed.

-

At some point, there will be a "key posts" list here:

-

For now, I don't know how to actually do the embed link stuff so

Everything can be found with the Rising Charcoal AU tag

I'm not expecting to get any fan content, but just incase anyone is interested, use Rising Charcoal AU Fancontent tag (or something else clarifying it's fanwork) instead of the main tag please. Just to keep everything organized (if anyone does make fancontent: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU)

I didn't originally have anything big for it beforehand, but I'm getting ideas, Plus, Curse of Freedom is very story based, and I want to try (and fail) to write it, I can't make half of the posts I want to without spoilers. So I can post this instead. There is still a story to it, but I don't plan on writing more than a couple oneshots or short non-serious series, so there's no pressure for me to keep things secret (although there is some things I'll keep in more mystery for awhile)

Also with school I have a lot of drawing opportunities, I already got some stuff, but nothing post worthy yet

Happy Birthday, Joni!!!

Today is the birthday of one of my fandom besties, @jrob64!! Joni, I love you so much and I so hope your birthday is filled with every good thing!!! You are a tremendous blessing in my life and I hope this gift tells you how much you mean to me!

Unfortunately, I didn't have an idea for a fic to write for you this year 🥺. I think it was the year before we met and became friends that I made fic rec lists for birthday presents, so I thought I'd do the same for you this year! So, in no particular order, here are my favorites of all the fics you've written.

Devastation and Healing- the fic we became friends over when I apparently yelled at you for something in it - I do not remember what that something was, because there were a lot of somethings in that fic... but you do remember what that something was, as you've occasionally reminded me. This fic will always hold a very special place in my heart, though, as the fic that brought you into my life!!! Summary: Sergeant Killian Jones has had more than his share of tragedy in his life.

His snap decision could lead to her blocking his number, or to an adventure much more thrilling than a ride on a roller coaster. Rated M, 6chs, 42k

Rescuing the Princess This one was SUCH FUN!!! How you managed to include elements from so many fairytales is still just astounding to me!!!

Silly Songs with Killian Of course you know about my Captain Cobra weakness, and this one just checks all the boxes. Too adorable for WORDS!!! Summary: After a frustrating and exhausting day, Emma Cassidy is relieved when her little boy, Henry, is entertained by a gorgeous musician at a restaurant, giving her a chance to sit back, relax, and enjoy the music (and the view!) It gets even better when the singer, Killian, sings some of Henry’s favorite Silly Songs from his favorite videos, Veggie Tales. Rated T OS, almost 4k.

For the Sake of Henry Another fic featuring Captain Cobra pretty prominently that tugs on the heartstrings RELENTLESSLY!!! BEAUTIFULLY done!!!

While both of them have Henry’s welfare at heart, there may be other matters of the heart involved neither one expected. Rated M, 11chs, 71k.

Where Her Heart Belongs Series The first fic in this series was absolutely BRILLIANT, and then the second one for my bday was PERFECT in EVERY WAY!!! I love them both SOOOO MUCH!!!! Summary: In the Land Without Magic, Emma Swan is quietly living her solitary life. When she finds a unique storybook in the library, strange things begin to happen. A canon divergent story which started out based on the movie "Somewhere in Time", but evolved into something else entirely. Two OS, Fic 1 is rated T, 2 is M, combined word count is 15k.

The Mystery Carver of Storybook The first fic you wrote for my birthday was such fun!!! Just a glimpse of their happy beginning that made my heart sooooo happy!!!

So there we go, my friend! A birthday fic rec list of all my favorite of your fics!! All of your fics are absolutely wonderful, but these are the ones I love the most. Happiest of birthdays, my friend!! Love you!!!

[blackbutlerfandomnerddomain]

I watched Rise of red and have some complaints/thoughts:

Some of the songs were good, but the soundtrack wasn't as good as the others in my opinion.

LOVE the outfits, hints and the heart card skirt is fucking adorable!

Chloe and Red and fucking enemies to friends to lover lesbians I HOPE cause I will scream if Disney doesn't do that

I feel like the setting of the time travel is weird. Like, they go back in time when the adults are teens, but they're all in high school??? In a world I thought we at most confirmed to be mostly canon in animated movie timelines????? I mean, the villains who died in their movies are brought back to be banished with no magic on the Isle, so like...why???

Also, it adds a bit more levels of fucked up with the idea Belle and Beast are SOMEWHERE in the past and maybe grew up with everyone and then somewhere along the way when a new country/era was made with them being the rulers but basically shoved a lot of their old classmates onto a literal island with no magic cause "living with no magic is a fate worst than death".

All in all, it's a good movie. Did it have to been promoted in trailers and ads with Uma, implying she's a main focus, when they could've done either just the film as a fun in universe movie with the same plot of maybe a lil' book series that plays with the lore? I'm more upset with the fact we didn't get the original casts much and when we did it was very slim even though their faces were all over this project.

If I had to do a rating system of all the movies counting the Royal Wedding with ten being the highest and bestest film ever, I'll say:

Descendants - 8/10. Great story idea, soundtrack always slaps even if you were like me at the time and heard it like a million times if you live/work with children, and all the characters have changed a bit throughout the movie!

Descendants 2 - 9/10 Same for the first one, great plot. It's a good sequel. It gave me one of my favorite plot tropes of identity crisis and being comfortable in your own skin in Mal, the songs are so good to the point I still add What's My Name in my playlist, the costumes (minus Mal's wig but it gets a pass) are amazing as fuck, Uma and her crew are just *chef's kiss* Also this movie was just a lot of bi/pan energy and you can't convince me other wise! China was one of my earliest girl crushes and of course she's an amazing character, Harry Hook made me physically stop at my tracks when I first watched the movie, the kind of funny tension between any guy with Harry or any girl with Mal and of course THIS THING-

LIKE DISNEY, I SWEAR YOU DID A FIGHTING VERSION OF THIS IN RISE OF RED, IF YOU PULL THE "oh they're just good friends" LIE ON ME AGAIN I WILL BE PISSED!!

Descendants 3 - 6/10 It's not bad but it's just not as good as the others, ya know? Some of the costumes were weird, what was Doug's hair????, Jane and Carlos are just the fucking CUTESTS ever, while I was upset the songs didn't stick as hard, I do love Queen of Mean and Do What You Had To Do, the plot was sadly not a good one to follow even though there were so many things that were a good idea. Alas, so many good ideas yet so little time. But I think it has a higher ranking in my heart simply because this one was the main one that started my Disney Villain Recruiters Descendants AU that I still love so much

Speaking of which, I think since I wrote the one with Dalmatia not that long ago I'll try and see what I can do with the AU with all the movies, not just Rise of Red. I already have an idea of Jack Heart in this world since watching it, I still have drafts of certain events such as Apple seeing Snow again, I also think I need to cause I found out Harry and Audrey, a ship I grew to love over time since first watching it (Literally I was very into Harry and Uma and was at first annoyed when they baited and switched me in the end but I LOVE these two more!!!), are apparently not together in this! Now this is rumors I think but like I think someone confirmed she's engaged or married to a prince and Harry is sailing with his own crew.

DISNEY!!!

ANYWAYS!

I'll see what I'll be doing! I'm a little curious what they'll do from here is they do anything even if I personally didn't like it. Maybe we'll see the bad choices of the time traveling? I would like an idea of what if Red's mum wasn't evil then her and her dad may or not met, since in the original Disney Alice In Wonderland our lil king LOVES his wife even when she's scary! I personally think that would be a fun idea. And I seriously can't be the ONLY ONE who thought we were gonna have some big reveal that Cinderella was mean or ghosted to Bridget (love the pun name btw, good job Disney) in the past. Cause like her rage was a lot more than just they were friends when a prank happened and suddenly she's evil now. Like I was expecting a reveal like Cinderella went to the party and either knowingly knew but didn't stop the prank or unknowingly helped. Or maybe even had them be friends but she left Bridget alone/didn't stop the bullying in a kind of early Amity and Willow situation from Owl House with maybe Tremaine doing something to cause that to happen like a rumor Bridget is a bad influence, that could give her a edge as an adult of "you want mad, I'll give you mad" kind of scene.

Also the timeline of the film is a little weird minus the whole high school thing. They did a throwaway line of Chad being in collage which made me pump the breaks a bit. I assumed first Descendants they're all 14-16 years old, Descendants 2 takes place a year or so later, and Descendants 3 taking place another year or two depending on how I viewed the timeline of the Wicked World show with everyone being graduated and doing their parts in society and helping the school cause more kids from the Isle are added in, ending the series with the cast being mostly 18-19 years old at least with maybe Carlos and Jane being 17 since they may be younger in the cast. Yet with this line implies to me Mal and Ben got married right after graduating from school, and while we don't know what was happening during the moment of the wedding and the other movies, Uma being in charge would be rushed and sudden for everyone even herself since she should be the same age as the two who got married not that long ago. Also adds a interesting question of when did Carlos die within the timeline? Cause now I'm scared we got that cute moment with him and Jane having their ship name necklace and just all that sappy sappy cuteness and just afterwards Carlos died off screen before Royal Wedding which I'm guessing takes places the same year at least since everyone's designs imply so with hair and wardrobe.

I literally just wrote a fic of Dalmatia grieving Carlos on the same night of the wedding and I wasn't thinking much on timeline until NOW!

Ideas I have before I leave:

Instead of going back in time in the time your parent(s) are in highschool, I would've liked if it was before the Isle was locked away, like starting off. We could have an excuse to see younger casts of the Villain Kids and maybe even get more hints of who the other parents are, maybe even reveal some kids from the books even if it's a cameo in the back.

Have Red be more conflicted of how she rules. Her being scared to be like her mum is great, and her being a rebel is amazing, maybe show her be a great ruler in the rebellion and have a scene afterwards of her complaining about being a ruler. I would write her with that fear with maybe her seeing throughout the story that maybe there's a reason her mum was a little mad.

Have Chloe's struggle of what to do and break out her shell a bit more and not rushed??

Maybe do a reveal of Bridget being the Queen of Hearts later if you want to do that. Like, have a character fans assume is her and then like a saying happens and we get that plot twist.

That's all for now, I'd like to hear other's thoughts and ideas tho!

Princess of All Evil (Kingdom Hearts AU)

Rather than being caught by Xehanort and sent to Destiny Islands in the lifeboat, Kairi is caught by Maleficent, who takes the young Princess of Heart on as her apprentice.  The witch trains Kairi as the girl grows up, becoming a powerful sorceress and a clever schemer by the age of fourteen.  She meets and develops a bond with the rest of Maleficent’s council, though she avoids Ansem (who is not happy about not being able to follow her to find a Keybearer to use as a pawn).  In the present day, she is sent to lead a Heartless attack on Beast’s Castle to kidnap Belle, which she accomplishes by twisting the castle’s enchantments to immobilize the servants and shift Beast’s animalistic form to prevent his attacks.

When the Heartless attack Destiny Islands, Riku hears a voice in his head calling him to the play island, and he goes in spite of the storm.  Sora sees him outside of his window and follows him out of concern.  When Heartless swarm them both, a Keyblade appears in Riku’s hand, which he uses to defend Sora and fight the monsters.  They are unable to stop the Darkside, and the islands crumble while the boys are sucked into the chaos orb and wind up in Traverse Town.  Riku ends up in the First District and encounters the Heartless and Leon while searching for Sora, while Sora ends up in the swamp outside of Merlin’s house and he meets the old wizard and starts to learn magic from him.  Sora heads to town to look for Riku after a few lessons at the same time that his friend was sent to track down the Heartless’ leader.  Sora and Riku bump into each other just before Donald and Goofy crash on top of them, and they all fight the Guard Armor.  Wanting to help out and see the worlds, Sora and Riku agree to go with Donald and Goofy to fight the Heartless.  Leon gives Sora a sword to use in battle, and Goofy and Donald begin tutoring both boys in combat and magic, respectively.

Kairi trails Alice through Wonderland, only for the younger girl to be put on trial for a Heartless’ attack on the Queen of Hearts.  As she tries to come up with a plan to extract her, Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy show up and intervene in the trial.  Seeing an opportunity, she waits for her chance and creates a Corridor of Darkness in the cage Alice is in when it is raised and the curtain is drawn.  Taking an interest in the “cute boys with the Keyblade”, she reports what she saw to Maleficent and later heads to Traverse Town with Maleficent, where she approaches the party posing as a civilian refugee.  She endears herself to the group easily, though Donald is suspicious of the magical energy he is detecting around her, and she finds herself genuinely liking them in return.  When the Guard Armor attacks the Keyhole, she tests the party’s abilities by transforming the Heartless into the stronger Opposite Armor.

Kairi joins Jafar in capturing Princess Jasmine, stealing Genie’s lamp, and locating the Agrabah Keyhole, as she wants not only to supervise Jasmine’s capture but also to get her hands on the lamp when Jafar uses up his wishes.  When Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin show up, they see Kairi and realize that she is working with Maleficent.  Kairi joins the ensuing fight and fends off anyone who attacks her, but she is content to let the fight play out.  When Jafar becomes a genie and is subsequently defeated, she sneaks off with his lamp, preparing her wishes, and she also takes Jasmine to Hollow Bastion.

It is here that it is revealed that Kairi has been waking the captured Princesses up to talk for most of her life and has genuinely befriended them.  Emboldened after capturing Alice and having learned more of what Maleficent and Ansem intend for them, she left her awake and woke the others up, keeping them in a room adjacent to her own.

Ansem and Maleficent put Kairi with Captain Hook to travel around and gather the materials to forge the Keyblade of Hearts.  Kairi convinces Maleficent and Hook to let her take the Princesses on as crewmen, knowing that Ansem plans to use the Keyblade to steal the hearts of all seven of them, including her.  She teaches the girls magic and convinces them to help with her plans.

While digging for ore on an asteroid, Monstro attacks, forcing the Jolly Roger to flee which results in Kairi being swallowed by the whale.  Intrigued by Pinocchio’s existence, she lures him away so that she can study his magic (and maybe also play some games with him).  When Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy appear to take Pinocchio back to Geppetto, she teases the boys and makes them chase her through the whale.  She decides that Pinocchio won’t be able to offer her any benefits, but she still helps the party rescue him from Parasite Cage, then takes him and tries to heal him when he is injured by the Heartless and appears to have lost his heart, even considering using her first wish to help him before Sora and Riku confront her and it turns out that Pinocchio is alright.  When the Parasite Cage returns, she makes her escape through a Corridor of Darkness to the pirate ship.

When the heroes storm Hollow Bastion, Ansem talks Maleficent into fighting them in the chapel.  When the witch is injured in the fight, Kairi goes to check on her mentor, and Ansem manipulates Hook into stabbing Kairi with the Keyblade of Hearts, reasoning that Maleficent will not be able to protect her charge.  However, the “Kairi” they target was actually Snow White with an illusion spell, and the real Kairi uses her first wish to Jafar to have the Keyblade of Hearts appear in her hand, which she stabs at Ansem, trapping his heart within the weapon.

It is then that Kairi makes her case.  The worlds will remain safe, but she will be in charge, with the Heartless under her control; she will be a hands-off ruler, but if she makes a decree, it will be law, and the Heartless will enforce it.  If the Heartless step out of line, they will be slain in droves.  Sora insists that he and Riku want their islands and the other worlds back, to which she agrees.  Maleficent protests at her wicked work being undone, but Kairi warns that she will strike the witch down without hesitation if she stands against her.  She guides everyone up to the Grand Hall, where she and the Princesses cast a spell with their light to complete the Final Keyhole, then instruct Riku to seal it.  She informs them that the Door to Darkness will appear on End of the World, and that sealing it with the Keyblade from both sides will cause all of the worlds to be restored along with their inhabitants.  Sora and Riku agree to help Kairi while Donald and Goofy go along with it until they can find a solution that they are both satisfied with.

After everything is restored, Kairi looks over Ansem and Xehanort’s research one more time before her date with Sora, regards the Keyblade of Hearts which holds Xehanort’s Heartless, and remarks: “You’re Darkness Number One.  That means I have twelve to go.”

[free-for-all-fics]

Either Namor or Attuma fic ideas. Pls tag me if you write or get inspired by any of these. Like always, there are no rules. (Warning: Some of these may possibly have Dark! Fic leanings/potential and will be marked with 🥀. If Dark! Fics aren’t your thing, that’s okay. Just ignore those prompts. Please don’t harass me or others or start arguments in the comments. Thank you.)

1. While scuba diving in an underwater cave system full of beautiful stones and underwater plants, you get lost. Trying to escape, you find a trident. Upon touching this trident, millions of voices ring out, "The Princess/Queen has returned." (up to you if familial or romantic story).

2. The Blue Lagoon AU where you and Attuma/Namor are just humans who get shipwrecked and stranded on an island. You fall in love as you build a home there over the years. Possibly takes place in the Victorian era.

3. You work as a mermaid performer for an aquarium, and on your day off you take your tail out to the beach to play in the ocean. You're soon surprised by a group of Wakandans, who, having mistaken you for an actual mermaid, are begging you to help them rescue their kidnapped princess from Talokan. Wait, what? You’re struggling to process any of what was just said. You can hold your breath for a long time by human standards, but not that long.

4. Ponyo AU where either Namor or Attuma have a very small daughter who’s curious and in love with the surface to the point she slips away from the sea and befriends a human child. Namor or Attuma tries to bring his child back to Talokan, but the girl is like 😠 because she likes this human!! The human is her best friend now!! “Daddy go away can’t you see we’re sailing in a boat, eating ham sandwiches, making sand castles and other fun kid stuff!!”

🥀5. You're a deep sea welder. You've noticed a hatch on the seabed through which a light flickers for a while. One day, you check it out. To your surprise, you see the panicked face of your friend who went missing, through the hatch glass. They’ve been kept prisoner in Talokan all this time and you offer to take their place. Beauty and the Beast AU

6. A woman gives birth to a girl who's been cursed to slowly transform into a “sea monster”. She tries desperately to make her child normal, to the detriment of her daughter. As reader grows into an adult and continues to change, her mother fears the day that she will leave her for the ocean, especially when she goes off to college and meets a man who claims to be from the sea. Sort of Hades/Persephone AU.

7. Ever After “a bird may love a fish, but where would they live?” AU

8. Period drama AUs. Bridgerton, Jane Austen, victorian AU, regency AU, gimme that good stuff but with Namor or Attuma.

9. After getting shipwrecked on an island you’ve never heard about, you meet a princess who asks you to help her take back her kingdom. She mistook you for a warrior, and misunderstood everything you said. You have never fought a battle in your life. You just wanna go home. You’re far too tired and hungry for this.

10. Creature from the Black Lagoon AU. During an expedition, reader is noticed by Namor or Attuma, who admires her beauty and falls in love with her from afar over the course of however many months. I just want to fall in love with and be carried away bridal style by a fishman to his underwater home, my dudes.

11. Shape of Water AU where Attuma/Namor is held captive in a facility and over time forms a special bond with reader, eventually falling in love with her. They bridge their language barrier and when reader helps him escape, oh fuck turns out he is a god.

12. When you were a child, you had an imaginary friend around your age who lived in the sea. You used to go on adventures with him. The last time you saw him was when you were teenagers, when you shared in a strange personal ceremony where you joined hands. Now, after all these years, a hooded Attuma/Namor arrives on your doorstep claiming to be your betrothed and tells you that you must come to Talokan with him at once. It’s not safe here. (Could take place in a different time period/timeline. Either way, let’s pretend reader and Namor/Attuma were either born around the same time or age at about the same rate/speed so the age gap isn’t weird and we divert the creepy “adult Namor meets reader when she’s a child” thing. Maybe reader isn’t exactly human. Maybe she’s a mutant too. Idk. Don’t think too hard about it.)

🥀13. A scuba diver was in the middle of exploring a shipwreck when they discover a body. It’s the body of a young woman and it looks oddly intact. Like she just fell asleep. But the ship’s been down here for years. The diver is in the middle of contemplating this when the body’s eyes open. The woman is you, and Attuma/Namor is furious that someone dare disturb his love while you were resting. Why are you in this situation? Who knows. Maybe you were dying from an incurable disease, maybe Namor/Attuma was faced with your mortality after a near death experience. The why and the how is up to you. Sort of Sleeping Beauty AU.

14. You kayak every day, and over time some of the dolphins in the bay have started swimming along with you as you kayak. One day, the dolphins are acting oddly. After much chattering, and bumping into your boat, three of them push you and your kayak out to sea, as if commanded to by an unseen presence. Suddenly you’re surrounded by blue skinned people and they all have weapons pointed at you. A man with wings on his ankles hovers above you. Well, damn. This was not in your summer getaway plans.

15. You are stranded on a gloomy beach after a shipwreck. The only other survivor is your loyal dog after you saved it from the burning ship. The full moon shines on the dark water, where debris of the wreckage are floating. Suddenly, you hear something in the woods. You turn around and see someone walking towards you... (Possibly Little Mermaid AU? Idk. I just love that scene when Eric stays on the burning ship to save his dog, Max.)

16. Pirate AU? You were born with special eyes. The sea is as clear as glass to you. By the time you’re old enough to join a ship’s crew, you’re smart enough not to tell them about everything you’ve seen below the waves.

17. The red string is tied around your finger and lets it lead you to your soulmate, someone who understands you. You’re a navigator and a cartographer, so when your string leads you to an unexplored part of the sea not marked on your maps, you think it must be a mistake. It’s not.

🥀18. You and your parents are labeled eccentric. You’ve all avoided the ocean, yet when they’re killed, you arrange a sea burial for them. As their bodies sink, you watch the rest of your family swim up from the murky depths below to take them home, and some of them pause to wave at you. How is this happening. Is this a vivid nightmare or a haunting reality? Are you in the twilight zone?

19. You're a novice shipwreck treasure hunter. One day you dig up a map that seems very old, all of the continents and islands are correct, but the map ends at places with waterfalls or hidden underwater cave tunnels. You see an X that reads "only way out". Only way out of where? What’s down there?

20. You are riding your boat through a fog. Suddenly, you come upon an island ringed by shipwrecks. On closer inspection, the entire island is an overgrown pile of ships, all from different cultures and eras. As you near the shore, you see a bunch of blue skinned people and a man flying above them. They seem to be burning something. They spot you. Oh no.

21. You’ve just survived a shipwreck and pull yourself onto a small island. From the shade of a palm tree a man steps out and says “Well well well. We meet again. But this time the advantage is mine!” You have no idea who this guy is or what he’s talking about.

22. You’re a young Aztec woman. Your canoe gets caught in a torrent and you black out and wake up alone on an unknown beach, where you see a golden glow in the distance. Describe the first year of your life in Talokan. Could take place centuries in the past before the canon timeline.

🥀23. You’ve just inherited a mysterious Aztec looking, revolving puzzle box from your late grandfather. In the note that came with it, it states, “this puzzle box will reset every hour, each time to a new sequence, but the prize inside will change your life forever. Good luck.” Sort of Hellraiser inspired.

24. You’re an archaeologist studying the Aztec and you’ve just uncovered an artifact with your newborn child’s name and birthdate on it.

25. You love building sand sculptures on the beach, but recently someone has been changing your sculptures, moving them, or making copies. This time, you are going to hide and watch, to see what is happening.

26. After you finished college, you went on what you thought would be a dream cruise vacation. Instead you were the sole survivor of a sunken ship. Despite many difficulties and challenges, you managed to find some comfort and joy on a deserted island. Fish and crabs seemed to wash up on shore daily, providing you with food and you kept finding useful items you could create clothing or other supplies with. On the tenth anniversary of your life on the island, you find the following words written on the sand on the beach: “I’m a friend. I think It is time we finally meet.”

🥀27. Your dad always said that putting your ear to a conch shell sounded like the ocean. While walking along the beach, you come across one such seashell. You decide to relive childhood memories of listening to the sound of ocean waves, but are frightened by what you hear. “Help me!” A distressed voice calls. “Help me! Please!”

28. Iron Giant inspired AU. The “Hey Dean, watch this!” scene except it’s Reader who’s swimming in the water and being like, “Come in, the water’s great!” While failing miserably at hiding the fact it’s freezing. Meanwhile Namor is sitting smugly in the sand, just trying to relax like “Haha no thanks,” until a HUGE wave crashes over him, leaving him totally soaked and dampening his mood (no pun intended) 😂

OR reader is a single mother and waitress and Namor is an artist who comes into the diner and over time falls in love with reader and bonds with the kid, becoming their dad. Possibly modern AU.

v. MAIN LORE witch ( half - human and half - fey ) / sorcerer + rogue / the chaos witch

the horikoshi clan is a prominent bloodline of warriors within the empire of hazakura. their estate is found on an island off the east coast of hazakura known as anmatsuri, of which their family had long since protected. they were most known for their remarkable combative ability throughout history, though was not a noble house of the empire themselves. they often operated separately. hanshiro horikoshi was a man who could make a single blade feel like a hundred in battle, the sentinel of anmatsuri who wielded the greatsword blessed by the primordial moon, who battles monsters and creatures from the depths tirelessly, keeping them from treading into the mainland.

masako was the daughter born between a forbidden affair between the unseelie king and the seelie queen, raised in the seelie palaces despite her status as half - blood. her mother had seen her as little more than a tool to be used as leverage against her former lover, not even granting her the permission of the family name to use. she was talented in spirit magic and healing, arts tied to the life domain, and a part of the high court of thaumaturgy amidst the animosity she experienced. having grown bored of the perfectionism in the seelie high courts and their traditional outlook on established magic principle, she left the feywilds to explore the material plane, known as the realm of hiraeth. she would push the limits of thaumaturgy and create several healing spells from scratch under a pseudonym that revolutionized magic forged in the life domain.

in her travels, she would eventually meet hanshiro horikoshi in her travels, whom she would take as her lover and husband. together, they would have three children: matsuko, the eldest. ashitaka, the second son. and kira, their youngest and only daughter. when she would turn eight, her mother and father rought home an infant they had adopted that same year: a boy named yuuichiro who had no magic of his own and yet had a familiar with a strange magical nature.

kira horikoshi had manifested magic at a young age, being able to summon storms whilst she lay in her crib, leading her family to discover their infant daughter giggling and laughing in the midst of the tempest. unbeknownst to her family at the time, they would raise the child who was the first in centuries who was born with the affinity for chaos magic, and in a vessel with unbridled ambition. in the tradition of her clan, she was trained to hold a blade the moment she could hold a training sword, all the while learning magic with her mother. with two older brothers who excelled in the art of combat, she had always been eager to prove herself, competitive ever since she had taken her first breath.

many who practiced the art of swords would travel to anmatsuri and challenge the horikoshi clan, who were known masters of the blade. it was said that her father enjoyed sending out his daughter to meet challengers, finding their cocky demeanor entertaining when faced with their opponent: a small girl, wielding a naginata. it was all the more entertaining when she bested them in three swift moves.

when beasts from the abyss had swarmed anmatsuri after the wards around their waters had been broken, she knows sacrifice for the first time, and grief wears anger's face as she witnesses the death of her mother and father. it is said that a much more terrible monster was born that evening : the girl who acquainted herself with slaughter, praised for the killing because of the lives it had saved, not knowing what kind of hunger they had just introduced her to. she was more monster than girl, with wings like a raven sprouted from her back, surging towards every beast to devour and kill. those who carry the armor and blades of the dawn had mistaken her for one of the abyssal creatures and cut off the wings from her back, bringing her back to their keep where she was experimented on for two years until she would break herself out and fight her way home.

the years that had passed only aimed to further kira's ambition, as she had soon awakened the depths of her chaos magic and the tides of another age of calamity drew near. there is a cycle of self - sacrifice that she subjects herself to, in order to earn the power she so desires. she journeyed throughout the realm in search for answers regarding primordial chaos, as she becomes one of the four omens of calamity, alongside: the dragon of ruin, the false king, and the sovereign of light. she pursued power, at the risk of all she had ( even bargaining her own life in a tie to necromancy in exchange for more space to fill herself with magic ), and kira horikoshi would be known as the most powerful witch throughout the realm of hazakura.

prologue arc ( 18 - 24 years old ): shortly after finishing her studies at the isles of lore where she had extensively pursued the arts of levin and hail, along with alchemic arts, kira had set off and founded the band of corvids, a traveling group that started with her and a handful of her childhood friends, including ryoma kaneshiro, silao isagani, thais of lakandula, and theoden rosgrave. kira is a mercenary and traveling witch, continuing her study on artifacts from the age of ancients, occasionally found performing displays of magic akin to a mini theatre in the streets where her wanted posters are blatantly displayed on the city walls.

present arc ( 25 years old + ): the chaos witch is a being that has become a living myth, in a mask with raven - like features and the power of the primordials radiating off them. in the wake of silao's betrayal and reveal as the false king, the blame for the summoning of the third age of calamity has been placed on the chaos witch, a conjured villain that kira intended to make her own, fueled by her desire for power after she had killed the exalt of order. they frame her as a false god, the incarnation of primordial chaos who had claimed the dragon of the ruined lands. only a handful of people know that kira horikoshi is the chaos witch.

meanwhile, kira is known as the strongest witch in the realm of hiraeth, as she continues to travel in pursuit of her own ambitions and left the band of corvids to the command of ryoma as they have gone to follow their respective paths in the wake of silao's betrayal of them all and his ascendance. she is an assassin under the alias of the raven when the role suits her, and other times can be found teaching children how to perform magic within the schools of the isles of lore.

epilogue arc ( late 30's to 40+ years old ): coming soon.

v. MODERN AU witch / professor of osteology + magic ( specifically spellwork and alchemy ) full time, part - time assassin / the chaos witch

in which kira is a university professor who lives in an apartment with her cat and 37 ravens who hang out on the rooftop. she teaches osteology, archaeology, alchemy, and a variety of spell - related subjects, taking extra time after the usual school hours to be able to hold night classes for people who cannot afford to pay the usual tuition for the curriculum, funding it with her own money. this is important to her because she knows the risks magic users who do not know how to control their abilities can pose to themselves, not only to others. she has a part time job as an assassin.

alternative no - magic version: everything is basically the same except she doesn't get to teach magic now :'(

v. " THE WISTERIA GARDEN " AU witch ( half - human and half - fey ) / owner of a magic shop called the wisteria garden

kira owns her own magic shop in a small seaside town called the wisteria garden! it's a small building where you can always see ravens perched or flying in and out, carrying parcels for delivery. a large wisteria tree grows on the right side of the building, intertwining with the brick as if it was growing into the foundation. she sells potions fresh from the cauldron and tomes of all kinds! the more difficult order the better; she loves a good challenge. owning her own shop gives her the advantage of enough free time to be able to focus on her own experiments.

v. FINAL FANTASY VII SHINRA turk / vessel of shiva materia / traitor

in the foothill town of gongaga, kira horikoshi grew up with her three brothers, raised mostly by her eldest brother after the untimely death of their parents one winter. she had grown up alongside her childhood best friend, zack fair. she eventually leaves the village and searches for her fortune in midgar where she started working as a turk for the shinra electric power company, alongside one of her older brothers, ashitaka. during a mission when kira was sent to a laboratory facility, she and her brother were on the same assignment and were faced with a dire situation, unable to escape the crumbling facility and evade their assailants. it was then that kira used the experimental materia found in the facility, which was shiva material that had been in its trial phases. the unstable materia bound itself to kira, giving her ice - affiliated abilities and the ability to transform herself into shiva. shinra considered her a valuable resource ever since then, but the truth of her nature was kept secret to the public. she could mostly be seen doing very public missions in sector eight in order to keep up a certain mask that led others to divert their suspicions away from her. most of her real assignments involved espionage carried out in secret on behalf of shinra, though she has no loyalty to the company itself.

v. FINAL FANTASY XV SHINRA turk / head of the columbidae / the dark sword of bahamut / herald of chaos * influenced by the events of "the dawn of the future"

kira is from niflheim, a project that was made by verstael in effort to create a vessel to be able to harness the darkness exceeding the current capacity of magitek technology. but instead, the empire had gotten much more than they intended through bahamut's machinations, kira was born: she who was meant to be the incarnation of chaos, a primordial power that had been born from the turmoil brewed by the turmoil caused by the starscourge, left to slumber for so long until the draconian chose to awaken it. the empire wanted a weapon, bahamut needed a vessel to harbor chaos until the time was right for the eventual enactment of teraflare, someone who could harness chaos and mend it into something malleable, harnessable, so that bahamut in the end would sacrifice her to gain that power for the draconian's own, framed as another prophetic vanquishing of evil.

most of her life from her birth as an infant to being a child was spent in verstael's laboratories, she was treated as a weapon and not a human, like a sword being tempered in the forge. a lot of verstael's experiments (or "lessons", as the training was framed) were painful, but it only fueled kira's perspective of seeing herself as little else than a weapon with will. she was called "kira", having been given a name that means "light/bright" which she assumes was some kind of joke. it wasn't until kira was older that she managed to elude the confines of her "father's" laboratories and eventually begins to forge her own plan to exist outside of a confidential file, essentially creating an identity for herself in the empire for the sake of her survival.

which is how the dove came to be. a figure donned in liquid metal armor (similar to glauca's) made of a silver-white armor that stands at nearly 7ft tall, and there seems to be no one who knows what or who truly lies behind that helmet with designs similar to that of a bird's. the dove is the alias of the commander of trained assassins and spies that they had banded together and chosen themself, known as the columbidae. that's who kira is known as, with most unaware of who she truly was. given the nature of subtlety and confidentiality that kira was permitted to operate in, it gave her some yet limited freedom to exact and plan her own ambitions by her own means in secret. she has no sympathy for niflheim, if a little spiteful, and she doesn't really understand their war. not out of her own compassion since she herself doesn't quite feel "human", the way they operate just feels wasteful to her, in a logical sense.

by the start of the events of ff15, kira is twenty one years old and while she didn't participate in niflheim's attack on insomnia, she was declared missing and whereabouts unknown by the empire. she had resorted to operating on her own means, as even her columbidae had vanished without a trace, presumably to their leader's own instruction.

v. FINAL FANTASY XVI the dove / wild magic witch / empress of hazakura

the empire of hazakura is located somewhere near the blighted lands of ash and has become isolated from the rest of valisthea with waloed knocking on its borders. it was said that hazakura has only lasted as long as it has because it somehow manages to bring forth their champion who could harness wild magics just as beasts like behemoths  do, and legends of old had once said that there was someone named kazehaya who could have rivaled a dominant's ability but not an eikon's, though the centuries old texts are blurry at best and have since been shrug off as a mere children's tale to give a sense of hope. no such champion has been born in generations.

because of their isolation from valishtea, there is little word that leaves the state of the empire and little cares for them as they had long since lost allies in the other nations. they managed to preserve a great number of texts within their archive, kept by one they call the archivist in the grand tower of the capital. it was the royal's duty to be able to preserve this information and learn from it as well.

the descendants of kazehaya were said to have disappeared until a woman who had come from ash appeared one day: masako, who then married hanshiro horikoshi, the next to be emperor. kira was born to be the next vessel for wild magic. even before her birth, that was what was intended for her. their sacrificial princess, a vessel for the wild magic that no one else could harbor. it was with a heavy heart that her parents had considered this fate but they loved their children dearly. their first two children, matsuko and ashitaka, did not have the same capability to withstand or harbor it (both born without the capability when they were brought to the ancient temple), but when kira was brought there as an infant, she did not infect any signs of magic either, the temple of the primordial moon had chosen her to bare the covenant of wild magic.

while they were traveling to the ancient temple which was outside of the walls of hazakura, they were ambushed with people from the order of radical believers in the primordial moon (cough obsessed cultists cough). they wanted to take the vessel because they believed they are some kind of divine messenger. matsuko, the eldest who was around nine at the time, was forced to take his siblings and run when his mother told him to. matsu was nine, ashitaka was four, and kira was two years old.

after running for so long and trying to make their way to the nearest town, they were found by a group of mercenaries led by a man named trevelyan who took them in. kira and her brothers were taken in by the mercenaries who became like their family, traveling around valisthea. matsuko is the only one who knows of their true identities as the children of the royal family in hazakura but keeps it a secret, per his mother's instructions. he leaves at one point around a few years later because he went to search for a way back to hazakura while his siblings continue to travel with the mercenaries.

four years before the main timeline: the mercenaries were doing a job as hired blades for some people who hired and eventually betrayed them. a lot of the mercenaries, including trevelyan, were slaughtered, but they were close enough in rosaria territory to have been found and the shields managed to intervene just in time. lord murdoch found a ten year old kira holding her baby brother, yuu, in one arm and a sword that was much too big for he in the other, pointed at the lord commander in effort to defend herself. murdoch eventually manages to earn her trust and brings her back to rosaria where she was eventually adopted by rodney and lady hanna.

the surviving mercenaries are made into shields in their debt for their lives being saved. kira's constant reinvention of herself, even when she was just a child, becoming who she needs to survive. adapting into becoming a lady in rosaria, learning how to speak and act as she’s expected to. also training to become a shield following the lord commander's footsteps, much more used to carrying swords around like a squire, as she was used to with the mercenaries, than etiquette lessons, but she did her best with those as well.

she did not feel like she fit in, when it came to rosaria, because she knew her place there was fickle. an outsider, despite how her adoptive parents cared for her, she feared that one slip up on her end could jeopardize the place that she had there, as well as her brothers and the other mercenaries. they had better opportunities than when they were on the road, and she wanted that for them. eventually begins to accustom herself to the life she led in eastpool, enjoying it there. can be seen often following lord murdoch around if she is within rosalith, at to her duties and lessons almost methodically. a quiet girl who carried a sword remarked to be much too big for her, but she retorts by saying she will grow into it. shows no sign of wild magic yet.

fast forward to what happened at the gate, kira was fourteen. she was there but never saw what happened to lord rodney, she just assumed he was dead. when the dragoons found and captured her in the woods nearby, they almost killed her but she manage to escape and run.  later on is found by he brother matsuko while she was on her way back to eastpool but he tells her that sanbreque had already be there and he take he back to hazakura.

kira has become a woman of many masks, whatever she deems necessary to survive. she was named the empress of hazakura shortly after she finished the covenant that augments her into someone capable of summoning magic that comes from the wild aether, such as the beasts you could find in valisthea. 

she believes that the council naming her as the empress and supporting her claim was only a means of having an actual ruler from the horikoshi bloodline on the throne. she sees herself as nothing more than a sacrificial pawn, for her true place was on the battlefield, being the weapon that they needed, the one to carry their burdens. it was with her rule that hazakura manages with the blight so close to them, being able to manage their resources more effectively and establishing trade routes that had previously been closed.

she has also created a name for herself as a masked figure known as the raven, the leader of a group of blades that a by their own volition, a network that establishes her connections throughout valisthea without knowing who she is. people do not know that kira is the raven.

[addercloud]

Addercloud AU Ranks

First of all, the three main differences:

Medicine cat -> Medic

Queen -> Nurturer

Kit -> Kitten

These were changed because of uncomfortable cultural implications, a lack of gender neutrality and just not liking the word respectively.

Any rank left blank is either the same as it is in the books, or the same as it is explained in an earlier paragraph.

Thunderclowder

Leader

Deputy

Medic

Knight - Similar to the senior warriors in canon, but with an official rank and ceremony. This rank is earned after a big accomplishment - such as saving another cat from death or gaining a huge scar - and proving that they have wisdom and experience. A cat doesn't have to be a Knight to be made deputy, but they almost always are.

Warrior

Apprentice - Apprenticeships start at 6 moons, with a few exceptions: unusually large kittens may be apprenticed early or weak, sick or injured kittens may be apprenticed late.

Nurturer - Very similar to the permanent queens in canon, but slightly different. These cats are trained in basic herbs as well as physiotherapy and counselling. Essentially, the medic recommends a treatment, the nurturers make sure it is seen through. They take care of the kittens, elders and anyone who is sick or injured.

Kitten

Elder - A quirk of Thunderclowder early on is that cats cannot just retire, they have to wait for the leader and deputy to deem that they have earned it. Thankfully, Bluestar and Redtail were very lenient about this, granting permission to all who asked, but previous leaders like Oakstar haven't been so kind.

Shadowclowder

Leader

Deputy

Medic

Warrior

Wrangler - Shadowclowder's territory is the most prone to beasts (we'll get there when we get there), so specific cats are trained in knowledge of the many kinds of creature and how to deal with them. Wranglers are well respected because their job is just as, if not more, dangerous than being a warrior.

Camp Guard - These cats are similar to warriors, but they stick close to the camp, keeping it safe from beasts and other clans. Some of these cats are also diurnal, unlike the rest of their clan who are nocturnal, and watch over the camp during the day. Despite the importance of their job, there is a stereotype that cats choose to become Camp Guards because they're too scared to fight in battles.

Apprentice - Apprenticeship age is not fixed, and instead being decided by if a kitten can complete a series of small challenges set by a few of the warriors. This usually resulted in apprentices being 5-8 moons when they are ready. Brokenstar encouraged his followers to declare kittens ready even if they didn't complete all the assessments, pushing the age lower. Apprentices typically graduate after 7 moons of training, so 12 to 15 moons.

Kitten

Elder

- You'll notice that there's no Nurturer rank, this is because all cats are expected to help take care of the kits and elders to equal lengths. However, there is a growing idea among the warriors that they shouldn't have to, which Brokenstar exploits.

Riverclowder

Leader

Deputy

Medic

Shore Warrior - Due to their close history with Windclowder, Riverclowder now shares the separated warrior roles. Shore Warriors live in the Shore Camp with the medic, younger apprentices, nurturers, kittens and elders. They specialise in hunting on land and defensive battle moves, protecting the weak in the clan. Most can swim, but being on dry land is what they prefer. Leopardstar was an unusual example of a Shore Warrior who preferred to attack instead of defend.

Tide Warrior - Tide Warriors live in the Island camp with the leader, deputy and older apprentices. They specialise in hunting in water and offensive battle moves, and are usually called on when Riverclowder attacks another clowder. They are fish-like swimmers, who sometimes even claim to prefer being in the water than on land.

Apprentice - Apprentices can start shore training at 4 moons old, but are forbidden from starting tide training until 6 moons old. When an apprentice is 8 moons old, they are given the choice of whether they want to finish training to be a Shore Warrior or a Tide Warrior. Apprentices typically graduate at 12 moons old.

Nurturer

Kitten

Elder

Windclowder

Guide - Windclan's religion is very important to them, so the job of being a spiritual guide has been separated from the medic. with their spiritual guide being even above the leader in power. This is one of the major weaknesses of the clowder, as a guide with malicious intentions can easily declare anything they want to be the words of the earth, making it law.

Leader

Council - Previously, Windclowder had the typical deputy system, but after Mudclaw's rebellion this was changed to the Council system. Instead of a single deputy, the leader and the guide have a group of cats they can turn to. This ensures that there is less bias in decisions and the clan always had a plan for if the leader dies.

Medic - Same as canon, but they are not required to have any sort of spiritual connection.

Tunneller

Moor Runner

Apprentice - Apprentices begin training at 6 Moons. This is a hard rule, with exceptions only being made to delay a severely injured kitten's apprenticeship only until they are healed. Apprentices decide whether they want to be a Moor Runner or a Tunneller at their apprentice ceremony and rarely switch afterwards. Apprentices are expected to train in all four seasons, making them late bloomers who typically graduate at 18 moons.

Kitten

Elder

Skyclowder

Leader

Deputy

Medic

Mediator

Knight - Modern era Skyclowder borrows the knight rank from Thunderclowder, since they're so closely linked. However, Skyclowder is much more lenient with who gets the position, going to any decently experienced warrior.

Warrior

Daylight Warrior

Apprentice - Apprenticeship age is not fixed, instead being decided primarily by the kitten's parents and secondarily by the clan as a whole. Apprentices do not have assigned mentors, instead the whole clan mentors them.

Daylight Apprentice

Nurturer

Kitten

Elder

[itsyamajesty]

I didn't finish coloring because

1. Midnight

2. I hate the dress

3. This was meant to be a sketch, not actually colored (atleast I know how to change the dress now)

Don't love the horn colors either

BUT

THE FACE

THE HAIR (especially the hair)

Rising Charcoal AU Dark Enchantress WIP already looking great (imo, I could be insane)

Back to A LOT of ranting, and I mean A LOT this time

Gotta make the dress better, gonna go away from the queen direction and towards the goddess direction

Thinking of including her lab coat, it's pretty iconic with how important the laboratory, CODs' Beast Cookie bodies, and Ultimate Cookie is to this AU (specifically those last two, in the case of DE's design sofar, very specifically Shadow Milk (you can probably guess how design wise, just not the lore reason))

Outside of [redacted for minor-ish spoilers], all flashback scenes including Dark Enchantress has her in her lab attire

...

Eyefestation ahh hair actually, love it

Also a little out there, but the chance I include the other dragons is going up, but that's under my understanding of the CRK lore (tbh, I did not pay a whole lot of attention to Legend of the Red Dragon- I'll watch it all once I have to write Hollyberry's memories for Eterenal Sugar's arcs)

But with my current probably wrong understanding

Dark Enchantress would probably want the entire Dragontounge dictionary

And from what I know, Ananas wants to keep their island and cookies on it safe

Thus, threaten that safety, profit (even if Dark Enchantress can't get to the others, but where there is a will, there is a way)

AGAIN, NOT CONFIRMING ANYTHING, THERE IS A LOT OF LORE TO READ

And also a lot of Ovenbreak story

That doesn't do voicelines

So I have to READ

Ugh, how dare you make me read in a heavy plotline game!

Uh also I need to find out what COD members are in OB I know there are the Choco Chess Piece twins and Lobster Cookie (I think anyway? Maybe?)

Anyway time to stay up late and do some research

[licncourt]

In the modern AU what are Louis' and Lestat's favorite books, movies, shows, atc? Are they in any fandoms? What about when they were younger? How cringe were they?

This is such a cute question omg

Adult Louis is an avid but secret watcher of trashy reality TV. His favorite is Real Housewives or anything on TLC, but he's been known to enjoy an episode or two of KUWTK, Love Island, and Big Brother. Lestat also likes these because it's hot people being mean, one of his favorite things. Cooking shows are Louis' favorite little treat for bad mental health days too. He's not picky, but it has to be something soothing.

He'll tell you about the long-winded classics he's read until you're ready to blow your brains out, but he is also a harlequin romance enjoyer and semi-regular erotic novel consumer (he thinks it's more respectable than porn). You couldn't waterboard that out of him though.

His favorite movies are mostly romances, especially older ones like Casablanca, Roman Holiday, and Gone with the Wind (and Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast like his canon counterpart), but also 90s tearjerkers like Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, and Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet (also like in canon).

If you ask though, his favorite movie is Citizen Kane. Shut up Lestat.

His taste in media has been pretty consistent throughout his life. Louis is nothing if not a lonely, daydreamy little guy in every universe, so he was definitely watching those same movies as a teenager with his nose pressed against the TV after everyone went to bed, wanting to feel love and be loved like that. He'd watch those mind-numbing historical epics like Cleopatra and Ben-Hur too. He loved the history and spectacle, but also the fantasy of it, the strength and escapism he wanted for himself.

In reality though, he was definitely writing porny gay fanfic in a super secret notebook, but weird Louis shit like Dorian Gray/Henry Wotton and Maurice Hall/Alec Scudder. It was kinda sad.

The soundtrack to his crying and gay porn writing was basically just The Smiths, The Cure, Tori Amos, and depressing 60s folk albums (Simon & Garfunkel got a lot of play time in his bedroom). He still likes that sort of thing, but 90s singer-songwriter and acoustic sort of confessional songs are his favorite.

I think for both of them this post applies as far as music taste.

Lestat is also an appreciator of shitty media, but he likes so-bad-it's-good franchise movies like Twilight, Superman, Transformers, and Saw. Whether he likes them ironically or sincerely is anyone's guess. At the very least he throws in some decently respectable choices like Star Wars.

He's also a big slasher guy, especially the iconic killers like Michael Meyers, Freddy Kreuger, Leatherface etc. Louis pretends not to like them, but he always lingers in the living room when they're on. On the flip side, screwball comedies are a favorite of his as well, the highest repeat rate going to Dumb and Dumber, Anchorman, The Big Lebowski, and Strange Brew. He's got t-shirts for them too.

Soaps are his go-to for TV, the longer and more convoluted the better. He knows ALL the Days of Our Lives lore and he's seen every episode of Grey's Anatomy twice. He's going to explain it to you if you let him. And if Louis complains, Lestat can reminds him he knows all the Kardashian-Jenner baby names and watches the old episodes of Project Runway Lestat pirated in the bathroom with the door locked.

Reading independently isn't a big thing for Lestat, but he loves to be read TO. High and historical fantasy are his favorites, and Louis has read him all the LotR and Outlander books out loud during their cuddle hours.

He's an easy sell for music, really anything extremely stimulating. His favorites are glam and 80s rock like Bowie, Queen, T. Rex, New York Dolls, Kiss, and AC/DC, but also glittery hyperpop-ish stuff like Grimes, Poppy, Charli XCX, and Rico Nasty. Whatever scratches his little rodent brain. His playlists are sensory overload and they make Louis shake like a chihuahua.

Teenage Lestat was surprisingly subdued because of his home life. He liked to watch movies and television that took him out of reality and fed his fantasies of running away and becoming a star. Velvet Goldmine and Party Monster were frequent fliers, but lots of fantasy and sci-fi that was an escape and daydream fodder as well.

Most of his music was showtunes, all songs he could sing under his breath while he imagined he was a beloved theater actor instead of a kid trapped in rural France.
