Of Trashcans, Alley Cats, and begrudgingly touch starved Crocodiles.

Aka Cat!Beneath the Sands AU.

-

The fluffy thing was weird. It felt soft beneath his paws but not quite like fur and it smelled like too many things at once. It made his nose itch.

(Caladin would later learn this is called a "rug.")

He had been picked up by the odd green Twoleg and had been staying in their Den for a few days now. He was certainly still wary of them- them and the other brightly colored Twolegs that came around sometimes. But they had been gentle with him.

He would admit that this soft den was much better than the wet box he'd been sleeping in, and the food was very tasty. There were other cats, but Caladin was only familiar with the one who'd "picked him up" with the Twoleg, Valerian. He was relatively respectful- allowing Caladin space to adjust and answering questions. There were apparently at least two other cats- Sobeknesef, grumpy but quiet, and Jiahui, who was recovering from losing part of her leg.

Caladin felt sorry for her. She slept a lot. He'd tried bringing her a squirrel once. The green Twoleg had taken it away and replaced it with one of the tasty things that didn't look like food.

Well. He tried.

Now he was sitting next to Valerian on the smelly, fluffy thing. Sun high made them all sleepy. The bengal was all splayed out in a sunny spot while Cal sat up straight, watching. And waiting.

-

"Hey- Val...? What the fuck, dude. When did you get so many cats- and-" Caladin paused, squinting at the collars around the necks of the bengal and mau.

"Did you name your cats after us????" The blonde snorted, expression both amused and mildly bewildered as he glanced over at his friend.

-

Feel free to add onto this with your OCs. I was just thinking of a little silly modern AU in which Valerian adopts Cats and names them after his friends :3

I WAS HAVING CUTE LITTLE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BENEATH THE SANDS QUAD (Caladin, Jiahui, Sobeknesef, and Valerian)

AND IT WAS SO CUTE- (modern AU or not? Will post blurb later-)

AND THE. MY BRAIN DECIDED TO BE EVIL AND MAKE THE PRELUDE WAY WORSE WITH CONTEXT.

Because the desert nation’s Sentinel is a Sand worm now.

Beneath the Sands: Aftermath blurb

Had a vague dream last night and it was just????

Post Beneath the Sands Quest, River has moved on to doing Rover things, leaving a scientist, rock enthusiast, and blacksmith alone with a living artifact wearing armor from who knows when-

And I just have this mental image of Jiahui, Valerian, and Sobeknesef having a little nerd huddle and analyzing Cal’s gauntlets and Cal???

He’s just sitting in the corner making tea like “Wow I’m so good at making friends- look I can provide tea-“

Anyways. This was my realization that Cal could be a househusband. Would he? In another life maybe.

Caladin: Extra Voicelines pt 2

Realizing I have yet to make Voicelines for Sobeknesef and Valerian :3

(Please keep in mind that unlike the other Voicelines I’ve done so far, these were made with the upcoming Beneath the Sands project in mind. Other OC Voicelines will be updated shortly to have a similar familiarity :3)

About Valerian: “You wish to know about Valerian? Well, I’d trust him with my life. I have once already after all. He’s incredibly skilled with his pistols and he’s incredibly knowledgeable about minerals and ores. To the point he was able to identify the materials my gauntlets were made out of even though they haven’t been seen in centuries. And I will say, his resonance ability calms me somewhat, even in the heat of battle. And that is almost impossible, I find. Quite the unique individual. So do take care of him. I won’t have him betrayed.”

About Sobeknesef: “That man… I understand him to an extent. We have both lost much- and we both are desert born. He is a quiet one, though sometimes he allows me to sit in on his work- to tell stories of our homeland before his people existed there. It is quiet companionship, but companionship nonetheless. I will forever be grateful to him for showing you and the others the way to the ruins. Without his guidance, I may still be there.”

These shall be added to the Voicelines master list :3

Have you happened upon my convo with Cryptid over my Geisha Wars concepts? If so, what're your thoughts? If not, would you be interested in knowing more? Because I honestly love cracking open AU ideas and discussing ridiculous scenarios, and I'd like to know more about your own, too! (If you'd like to trade)

Oh!!! I remember reading over the post actually- not sure if I reblogged or even finished reading tbh-

Been running errands all day.

I remember the main points being about convicts getting the chance to choose how to serve their sentences-

Geisha wars vs Traditional incarceration

Give up physical freedom and maintain bodily autonomy but life is shit vs give up physical freedom but gain luxury in exchange for completely signing yourself over to someone.

It’s a pretty interesting concept to be honest??? I will say, the name totally made me think of more of a beauty pageant type vibe.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong or infodump :3

On my end, the current AU I’ve been messing around with is related to the Beneath the Sand project I’m running for my OCs and some others I’m sure you’ll see a lot of :3

It’s a Modern & Cat Au???

So the group is Valerian, Caladin (my OC), Jiahui, and Sobeknesef.

The four of them are all University students- Sobeknesef is going to trade school and shares the apartment with three very burnt out Archeology/Anthropology students.

And then there’s their cat counterparts (which is hilarious because this was just me comparing Cal to a cat once)

Cat!Caladin is a stray Arabian Mau- whom got randomly picked up by Valerian and Cat!Valerian. He’s very confused in general.

And within the span of a week or so, Valerian manages to get his hands on Cat!Jiahui and Cat!Sobeknesef as well. Which is funny, because he didn’t tell him roommates or that he named the cats after all of them.

Cat!Jiahui was adopted after she was dropped off at a shelter because she had an amputation and her family couldn’t care for her.

I’m unsure if Cat!Sobeknesef also has a missing limb like his human counterpart.

It’s generally a crack Au- Caladin and Valerian are rock lickers- Cal jumps out of windows, Sobeknesef has a group chat about him dedicated to catching pictures of him smiling.

They’re just little guys :3

It doesn’t have as much of a plot line as the project itself, but it’s a cute Au that we all still dabble in occasionally.

[uncreative-cryptid]

glad my beastars content can supply to the wuwa fandom as well

something something cannibalism as a metaphor for love

[hobbysognodilibri]

DUDE

I am quite literally crying

Bc whaoeheiendhe

Really

I'm still a bit bummed about not being able to write for Jiahui for the time being

And then you post this

Song and analysis of all of our OCs???

No really I'm crying

It's amazing

Beneath the Sands music rambles

I remembered while I was hunting that Valerian’s theme is “Forgive Me, Friend” by Smith & Thell and the Swedish Jam factory

So now I have to assign all the currently available OCs a Smith & Thell theme because????

Valerian

Caladin and Dahlia

Jiahui

Sobeknesef

Caladin & Dahlia

RAHHH 7th TIMES THE CHARM HERE WE GO

This songggg- it’s so good-

But really it’s the dichotomy between Caladin only knowing how to live for avenging his fallen family, to be left with people who he can call tentative friends and he grows as a person, as he slowly, hesitantly allows himself to rebuild a family and to let go so he can live on-

Versus Dahlia. Who had everything- who is falling into insanity- who is rage in a way Cal will never be. It’s how she’s frantically clinging to the past of what will never be again-

How she’s angry and desperately trying to claw herself from the jaws of death just to destroy herself on the process

Healing versus Destruction

I love themmmmmm

“I rent the earth where I stand, and the air I breathe.”

“Did you forget that deal you made with God?”

“Never once has it crossed your mind that lifes’ too short.”

Dahlia learning painfully that life is short and fighting it ⬆️ versus Caladin always knowing and accepting it ⬇️

“Life is a blink of an eye til we are no more.”

But is it really?

Again. Healing and moving on versus Destruction and tearing yourself and all you love apart

“The body you borrowed is starting to look kind of worn-“ Dahlia 👀

Anyways. I just love them.

“We’re just grains in the universe, I let that comfort me when I’m anxious.”

“This life, is beautifully ugly at times.”

Jiahui

Okay, so this might be a stretchhhhh

But this song mainly reminds me of little Jiahui? Specifically thinking about the blurb for her scarf cherished item

She’s such a gremlin honestly

But also it always feels like she has something to prove, even if it’s just to herself?

I’m not even sure what it is, but that’s the vibe I get everytime I read about her.

“Here’s a story about the ears that never listened- here’s the riddle of a fire in a heart-“

“Here’s a song about the hands that took Goliath for a dance, about being brave enough to stand up to the man.”

“But they’re shouting to the monsters in the dark-“

“About a girl with little braids who turned the world to a parade.”

“Though I tremble in the cold blue night, knowing I’m alone this time-“

“And then I looked up, into the giant’s eyes and I found my strength inside-“

“Now I’m Goliath.”

“And I won’t be silent, until you hear me.”

I’m not sure if she’s found what she’s looking for, in herself or otherwise. But I think she’ll get there. She feels very vibrant to me in ways I can’t really explain, but this song seems to get it?

Sobeknesef

AHHH THIS SONG MAKES ME SO SAD

Need I even explain?

It suits his back story so well and there’s a few lines that make me choke up when thinking about him :’)

“You said, No don’t you stand by my grave, no don’t you stand there and cry.”

“Cause I’m not dead, I did not die- No I’m not dead, I did not die.”

The repetitionnnn^^^

Reminds me of a mantra, perhaps to calm himself from nightmares???

“This year, we lost more than we can count. The ashes we laid in the ground. Oh this was the year of the young.”

“This year, we looked up towards the sun. And wonder where everyone’s gone. Oh this was the year of the young.”

I love them all so muchhhh

Anyways, I’m sure this makes *no* sense. My thoughts are very incoherent and I’ve tried to get it down 5 times since 5am this morning when I thought it up in the deer blind-

Feel free to share your thoughts! This is just my general interpretation of everyone’s OCS for now, and I plan to interact more now that I’m heading home.

If anyone else wants to join the Taglist, or the project with an OC, interact with the original Taglist post and I’ll start reading up on your OC so we can interact more, create Voicelines, etc.

[unrealistic-ideas-for-writers]

Absolutely-

I feel like there’s probably a different group chat dedicated to each person like-

“L o o k“ [picture of Sobeknesef napping with the kitties that he “hates”]

“Did anyone see if Valerian ate lunch???”

“Hey guys- I found a random chunk of what looked like a metal toe- has anyone seen Jiahui lately???”

“Caladin climbed out the window again-“

“Again??? We’re on the fifth floor???”

Sorry to barge in but

Headcanon that Valerian feeds the cats a raw diet-

I can’t get it out of my head that he probably gets the cats better food than himself :’)

oh boy have you unlocked my uberinstincts from my uberautisim

observe;

honestly valerian probably feeds them limited ingredient diets, as opposed to raw!

he also would feed a lot of wet food.

following reasons:

1. raw food risks of contamination/illness. as of real life events today, bird flu has affected a lot of poultry and is 60% fatal to cats - cooked meats ensures risk of illnesses is reduced significantly.

2. cats naturally are more likely to dehydrate themselves and are more at risk for kidney issues as a result. best way to introduce more water into a diet is through wet food!

3. cans are easier to store and keep infestations out of the area, and he can recycle them!

4. limited ingredient is expensive as fuck, especially higher quality and specific protiens

if he isnt making the meals himself, there's a good chance kitties are probably eating cooked fowl, rabbit, and fish. as a treat they probably get chopped up bits of bacon.

he's absolutely the type to make sure the cats eat better and are healthier than him cause sentinel be damned he's gonna make their lives the best it can be

he is definitely gonna take each cat's individual needs into consideration, such as gaining/losing weight, activity levels, allergies, how much water they do or dont consume .. whole nine yards and anything less he would rather die

Beneath the Sands

World Quest/Caladin Story Quest

Hi! Feel free to ignore :3

For anyone interested in my upcoming little project of writing out a story/world quest, feel free to tune in and I can tag you on future updates!

This will also be tagged with #beneath the sands wuwa on my blog :3

For those interested in reading or potentially including their OCs, I’m beginning to outline the basic concepts and I’m gathering ideas!

Below will contain spoilers for the Quest plot and contain my thoughts along with a poll probably? Feel free to pause and just ask for a tag if you want to remain spoiler free :3

Alrighty!

This is primarily for those who wish to suggest ideas or participate in the project:

What we know so far

Caladin and (x) giant Tacet Discord we’re frozen in time by a unique, fairly ancient type of waveform phenomena

Said phenomenon is currently unnamed, but I feel like it’s something that hasn’t been seen in a while and there’s few records of its existence

A Court of Savantae research facility was built around the site where Caladin was initially discovered

Per usual, it fell into ruin for “unknown reasons” (they got a little too curious me thinks)

In some way or another, Rover finds themself exploring the area with a potential cast of NPCs or OCs :3

I’m unsure if I want to wait for Rinacita or another new region to write this, mainly because I suspect Caladin was frozen in the remnants of his homeland which is based of Middle Eastern nations.

So quick poll I suppose?

And finally, here’s the ideas I have so far on how some OCs could easily be inserted into the quest line:

- Jiahui by @hobbysognodilibri is a field researcher- maybe she heard about the ruins and planned an expedition???

- Valerian by @uncreative-cryptid could’ve been commissioned to help her since CSC ruins are infamously dangerous and they’ve interacted before

- Chiefly by @crypticrainbowmoss I *vaguely* remember reading something about his people originating from the desert, but I may be thinking of their other OC Sobeknesef (hope I spelled that right :’)

These are currently the three OCs I’ve interacted the most with, but anyone is welcome to join and obviously these people aren’t obligated to interact either^^

This is more so a silly little project idea of mind, but I think it’d be fun to do! I’d be happy to work on similar projects focused more on other people’s OCs as well :3

[unrealistic-ideas-for-writers]

Asking cuz i forget- how tall is caladin?

Oof. He’s like 6’2 and pretty bulky? Definitely shorter than Sobeknesef, but one of the larger characters I thinks.

Intro post!

Hi!

This is a new pinned post since I’ve been writing so much recently and wanted a more easily organized blog.

You can call me Atlas. I’m an adult and I write mostly SFW content, though there will be violence and gore. It might be more or less graphic depending on the vibes of how I’m feeling, so do keep that in mind when going to read some of my works and collaborative pieces.

-

Alrighty, serious stuff out of the way, so let’s move onto Fandom content—>

Main Fandoms you’ll see from me (Updated as needed)

Genshin Impact (Longterm interest)

Trash of the Count’s Family (Longterm interest)

Honkai Star Rail (Longterm interest)

Wuthering Waves (Current Hyperfixation, Longterm Interest)

Baldur’s Gate 3 (Currently Active, Longterm Interest)

Yakuza Fiancé (Barely three episodes in and I’m obsessed already)

Naruto (An oldie but a goodie. Will periodically resurge.)

Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon (Will periodically Resurge.)

Other things!

I play Dungeons and Dragons and I’m solo DMing my first Longterm campaign :3

I do have original works, but the ones post here are usually nonsensical snippets that make no sense. I’ll still link the master list.

Current major projects:

Beneath the Sands (an OC collaborative project, a fan made World Quest for Wuthering waves.)

This will be tagged as beneath the sands wuwa

My OCs will be tagged Caladin, Dahlia, and Daniyal/Wuwa Dani
