Miracubots au: Akumas

Been a few days but I'm back!

Upfront, we don't have Akuma forms settled for everyone. SOME BITCHES *Stares at Chief, Dani and Kade* ARE SHOCKINGLY HARD TO DESIGN FOR.

So this isn't a complete list, hell if this ever became an actual fic some of them might end up changing.

Without further Adu, a very incomplete list of Akumas:

Ticket Master: Might as well get the Mr Pidgon equivilant out of the way, Don and his speeding tickets make him a weekly Akuma giving everyone in Griffin Rock headaches, especally the Heros. Everyone keeps begging Chief to just impound his car already but Don always pays off his fines so his hands are kinda tied.

Crawdaddy: So you know how there's occasionally a Dude who just has a Flobbster on a Leash? Ya, Ya he get's Akumatized over worrying about his pet's health. Don't worry the Flobster turns out ok.

Demolicious: Expect the spelling of this one to change a half dozen times because I hate myself and thought a portmantu of Demolition and Malicious was a great idea. Graham's Akuma form surprisingly enough formed when Graham just comepletly lost his temper after a stressful week and having to deal with a Karen of a tourest who decided to let her kids play in a derelict building he and Boulder where trying to safely demolish, and blamed him for the kids getting hurt.

Evilistratior: Alright this one was briefly mentioned and is something I kinda put in just for me. Being a very old OC of mine Dusk who I love very much. Think Bendy and the Ink machine meets Samarah from the ring and you kinda get the vibe of our Evilistratior, though instead of objects he creates ink creatures by drawing in his sketch pad as Dusk's an artist. As part of the self indulgent nonsence he becomes Graham's boyfriend. They even end up getting reakumatized into Demo and Evie together and are just an annoyingly sweet couple even when Evie's setting ink demons on everyone and Demo's trying to blow up the fucking island.

Glory Hog: Heatwaves Akuma caused by lingering stress over the entire Swallowtail situation and Kade falling back into his own glory hog ways. Glory Hog has the ability to 'Take away all attention and direct it to his self' Basically if you get hit by his beam, you kinda seace to exist for other people. They don't see you or acknowlage your there, your basically a ghost walking through your own life which is kinda horrorfying.

Emperata: Chase's Akuma formed after their reveal, Chase struggling with the sudden change in dynamic when he's become so acustomed to just the Burns family knowing. Coupled with the towns people not knowing how to treat him and just falling back on treating him like a robot when the more socal members of the team get readily accepted. Causes him to become Emperata, appearing as if Chase really had the horrorfic surgery done to him, and able to inflict the same on his brainwashed minions.

Halloweenie: More of a joke Akuma TBH, Blades after getting scared during Earlyween and getting upset at some teens tormenting some frightened younger kids, becomes the pumpkin fairy themed Halloweenie....Who makes everything cute. That's it. Cody and Frankie actually let him run around unchallenged for a bit because he is literally hurting no one, even if someone's wearing a scary costume and get zapped they can just, take the costume off no problem. And there have been a few occasions where letting the Akuma get it out of their system has calmed them down to be beatten without much of a fight.

Razorback. Boulders Akuma and it's a *bad* one. The idea I came up with was uhh....Graham and Dusk on a date off island when they run into uhhh....Anti-Anti-Fascsits if you catch my meaning. Resulting in Graham getting hurt enough to need the hospital and Dusk in jail needing bailing out for defending the pair of them. Boulder having never known about this side of humanity is just so blindsided and *angry* he's more or less a ball of walking distruction before he's calmed and deakumatised.

Defensor:....You saw it coming, don't pretend. Ya in this universe the episode where Cheif get's hurt and goes the hospital goes a little worse, not too much so, but the bots getting a nasty reminder of not only how fragile humans are but how short lived they are...What's more, their humans are emergancy responders, a profession that famously *shortens* those already brief lifespans....Ya, their pain and grief causes them to be fused into the group Akuma Defensor, who desides to take over the security systems Vigil was meant to once operate, they'll keep their family safe....no matter what....

Heya there Cayenn!! Hope you're doing alright after the incident in Texas and doing alright with school! I honestly love your art and I just love the design you gave to Heatwave and Quickshadow to the point I want to try and draw them in your designs. <3 Sadly, I can't because I'm too cranky and can't do it well.

Here's a little gift I made for you, to make you better! Tried making the design similar to yours, but I failed. All love, Bloom~!

Heyyy! Thank you for checking in, the funeral’s done, my dad came back to me in SoCal, and I finally finished my finals 🎉🎉🎉 I’m so happy I inspired you to explore art styles! I know how frustrating it is to do that though lol

Aww ty! It looks great and you’re not so far off! 💖💖💖💖💖

[voidsuites]

n-e-ways… how has ur day been so far

- 🧸

yes i’m from cali (socal) AND YES OMG THE HEATWAVEEEEE 😭😭😭

i am the sweatiest girl alive like i just melt outside. i’ve just been at home thankfully (i was outside yesterday bc i went to work from 6a-10a but it wasn’t that hot) but yes i’ve been hiding in my house with the AC and fans on. BRO how does your school not have AC in the art buildings. my classes don’t start until the end of the month but HOW. crazy shit.

but my day has been good so far! i legitimately just woke up so i should probably shower + start getting ready for the day. i don’t work today (thank fucking god) + my brother’s getting his wisdom teeth out so i’m excited for that free comedy show later lol. today feels like it’ll be good.

HAVE A GOOD DAY TOO POOKIE DON’T MELT

I underestimated the heatwave (apparently it’s a heat dome) that started last week and some plants wilted/scorched a bit. Temps are consistently 65-low 90s, and will get hotter this weekend; it gets uncomfortably warm even by 9am, but I feel like it’s not that bad for SoCal? Regardless, I should take extra precautions.

Extra water and shade cloth helped beds 1 and 3 recover a bit. The 4 eggplant fruits got all soft and squishy, but firmed up again; I harvested them anyway to take some stress off the plant since it’s got the heat and mites to deal with. I don’t really like the look of the shade cloths, so maybe next year I’ll use tall plants (sunflower, tomato) to shade peppers and smaller plants below.

Last night, I scratched in some fertilizer and added lawn top dressing to act as a mulch. Not sure if it will work but it says “mulch and compost” on the bag and a little extra dirt can’t hurt right? I also bought flowers for extra color; it’s tough keeping up with the veggies, so the flowers are a nice pick-me-up. Tbh I was worried about fertilizing now because any new growth might get scorched, but what the hell right?

I wanted dahlias after seeing them in Epic Homestead’s latest garden tour, so I bought a $30 dinner plate dahlia in a pot. I know it’s probably going to get root bound and transferring would be hard so it won’t be a super healthy plant, but look how gorgeous those blooms are. I’ll do it the proper way next year and enjoy these for now.

Also, I found narrowleaf milkweek for sale. The big blooming ones have been sold out for a while, but maybe I can keep these alive until they bloom/go to seed. I’d like to grow milkweed with the poppies next year.

[thedragonagelesbian]

wait are the olympics really happening rn.............

[theloststarboy]

So, socal punk dude here. It is boiling hot out so here are some tips that y’all need:

-hair ties. Long hair? Yup. Short hair? Yup(depends how much) kiop one on you at all time, ponytails and buns are your best freind. No matter dude or chick, hairties rock

-listen, we all love our patch/crust jackets I know. DO NOT WEAR RHEM. The temps are reaching up to 110. The metal on your jacket will heat up, the leather will heat up. It can seriously burn you; DO NOT WEAR THEM

-vests are your best freinds, wear those ones, cut the sleeves off of a existing jacket, that works!!!

-so are crop tops, like I said, dude or chick? Crop tops

-those with dyed hair, your hAir is going to fade due to the sun

-drink water, this goes to everyone!!! Signs of dehydration are: headaches, extreme thirst, dizziness confusion fatigue, and dark colored urine, they sell electrolytes in most stores, if you cannot obtain them drink lots of water

- listen, we love our rings, trust me, but take them off if they are metal, they can burn you. That’s no good

-avoid black pavement, black attracts and obsorbs light, keep on the sidewalk

- I cannot stress this enough DRINK WATER

-if you do not have access to clean water in your home, or do not have a home to get clean water, go to your nearest fast food place and ask for a water cup, 99% of the time, there free, and fill it with clean water

-conserve energy, the amount of electricity usage, directly translates to climate change, affecting how hot the weather, our ozone layers cannot handle this heat, we are destroying the earth like this, please, be careful, reduce, reuse, recycle.
