Commissions

Nothing is required, but if you want to support a queer autistic unemployed kid living alone and with meds/rent/utilities to pay, here's my art commission info!

Status: OPEN

I also draw ponies! Pricing is the same as it is for humans :3

INFO

🍃Payment will be via Paypal and is marked in USD

🍃If interested, please DM me here or email me at cryptidtumbleweed@gmail.com - if you email me, your email title needs to reference the topic of commissions ("commission inquiry" or "art commissions"). If not, I will ignore the email. I do recommend DMing here as I will most likely respond faster

🍃Please have a clear idea of what you want before messaging me - sending references for poses/clothing/sceneries is highly recommended!

🍃Half the payment upfront, the other half after you've approved the sketch. After this I won't do any drastic changes to the commission

🍃Prices aren't negotioable unless I say otherwise

🍃I have the right to refuse any commission I feel uncomfortable with

🍃Completing a commission depends on the complexity. I will try to finish any commission within a week but I can't promise anything. I draw art on my free time and it's secondary to real life events that might interfere with finishing any piece.

🍃I might not reply instantly due to timezones/irl stuff, but I will do my best to get in contact with you within 24 hours of you messaging me <3

For now, I'm not setting any slots but depending on interest, I might set a limit in the future. I'm also planning on setting up a Kofi for commissions in near future and will update this when I do.

does philip ever have a talk with hunter? like him apologizing to hunter or smth

You're asking the right questions, anon

I think Philip wouldn't even know how to start and Hunter would have to approach him on it. Right now I'm thinking during dinner time a week maybe into being in the human realm, Hunter decides to sit with Philip on the couch. It's awkward at first but Hunter then asks him about the grimwalker stuff and Philip spills everything. He tries to avoid elaborating on Evelyn because for some reason he's still pretty salty about her lol. Maybe he doesn't say sorry because for some reason he doesn't know how to. Hunter does put his foot down and tells him he's not Caleb, he's Hunter, his own person. Philip doesn't say anything to that and just nods. The rest of dinner is silent but Hunter is still sitting with Philip.

I imagine it would be pretty rough, like, Hunter really looked up to Philip for so long and to have him find out about all the things Philip did and is is very heartbreaking for him. It will take a long time and a lot of care into progressing their current relationship into a much more healthier one before Hunter can properly think of Philip as his, I guess, friend(?) or ally(?). I feel like Hunter would unconsciously stick beside Philip, like if they went somewhere together, Hunter would be found next to Philip most of the time from habit. There's a sense of loving(?) and care for one another there between them even after everything but it's all very subtle and they themselves don't realise it. THERE IS A LOT OF HUNTER/PHILIP AND CALEB/PHILIP ANGST IN THIS AU DID I MENTION THAT? I FORGOT.

(text under this is rambling, you don't have to read)

Some events would happen for them to be closer to eachother though, I'm thinking of stuff with them going against the Collector but that's a whole other story. It's hard to make an au for TOH because of how effective the lore is. The Collector became knowledgeable of how much death affects mortals because of Philip becoming big scary goo monster and unaliving Luz so I need to find a way to interpret that (and everything else after) within this au so it's consistent to the story arcs that happened in canon.

[smokestarrules]

I read your tags in the Avatrice reunion ask and, lemme tell you, I am PSYCHED to read your fic! I basically love any fic of yours I read (thank God you like TOH and WN like I do). Anything you'd be willing to tell us about it?

This is so sweet! I'm super glad you've been enjoying my writing :'))

The fic I was talking about in those tags is. An absolute monster that's been taking over my life literally for the past month. I currently have 49k words for it, so it's already my longest yet, and though I'm getting closer to being done, we're not quite there yet.

It's a Reincarnation AU. (some not so short) Snippets of lives spent spanning across centuries, lives where Ava and Beatrice meet with each other.

I don't want to give the ending away, but it ties into canon and then goes past that into what's going to be my first foray into figuring out what the fuck Reya is. lmao. Again, it's not quite done, but I'm really trying to finish it before For the Future drops, so I've got two weeks, which is... maybe possible? we'll see.

Fantasy Façade. (Ch.2)

A TOH au based on "Soul Eater", written by me and Silver. @capybart 

Chapter 2: The Golden Boy: Hunter's First Failure.

Chapter Summary: On a mission to find the ‘monster’ roaming along the outskirts of a village on the hips, meister Hunter and weapons Willow and Gus investigate.

Preview:

“You don’t think that this could be dangerous? He’s an eleven year old child!”

When Gus saw a letter enclosed in a matte black envelope, he didn’t consider it to be much to think about Growing up being the son of a Death Scythe, letters such as those appear all of the time. Usually, it meant that his father would have to go away for a while, and that Gus would have to stay with his Aunt Georgia. It meant that every time his father would leave, he would give him a heartfelt speech of sorts, and with his return a week later, he’d be wrapped into a tight embrace as if his father never expected to see him again.

But the expression on Aunt Georgia’s face, the way her eyebrows threaded together and her jaw hardened, told Gus that this was something far more serious than he’d imagined.

“This is a great opportunity for him!” Perry seemed taken aback by Aunt Georgia’s discontent, “I started going to the DWMA around his age too, or are you forgetting that?”

“I feel the way that I feel because you went there at his age.” Aunt Georgia was Gus’ Grandmother’s younger sister, and the closest thing he’s ever had to a mother figure in his life. Gus never got to meet his grandparents to know how they felt about Perry being a Death Scythe, but his Aunt Georgia made it all too obvious with her distorted mumblings and icy glares.

“I went there, and I made something of myself,” Perry declared, whatever patience he had left completely vanishing, “I would like for my son to do the same thing. My son.”

[fearless-stormclaw]

The first draft of Book 1 of the TOH HP AU is Done!

(with the exception of 2 bonus chapters)

To celebrate, I am sharing MORE of my favorite out of context moments!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “But I don’t have any hands!” Hooty wailed. “How will I open my presents?”

Eda rolled her eyes. “I’ll open them for you. Like I do every year." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Long ago, a former principal of Hexside had burned down the tree in which the Beebler elves lived and baked their magically delicious cookies and forced them to live and work in the Hexside kitchens instead. But the clever elves had united and went on strike until their demands—compensation for damages to their home tree including expenses for the construction of a new home tree, living wages, paid time off including unlimited paid sick leave, a four-day 30-hour work week, retention of all rights to their secret recipes, plus overtime pay and a generous retirement package—were met. In return, they would continue to work in the Hexside kitchens and would not murder anyone in their sleep with butcher knives. True socialist icons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Beebler Elves took it all with surprising grace and answered their questions eagerly, and then gave the kids advice on forming labor unions in their own workplaces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “That’s great,” Camila cringed and pulled her hand away. “Please get away from me before I call the police.” The strange woman smiled and twirled away. “Drugs,” Camila muttered and got in her car. The encounter made her think of her brother. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “That’s the last time I trust a fifth year with a C in their main track classes.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Unless you’re suggesting I take them out for a flight on Owlbert and drop them somewhere?”

“The reward, Eda! Think of the reward!” King chided.

Eda shrugged. “They’ll be fine. They can fly!” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Beautiful babies!” They hissed in disgust. “Hideous, horrible bat babies!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- “It’s so messy!” Gus observed bluntly. Willow nudged him chidingly. “Well, it is! What am I supposed to say? ‘What a nice room you have, Miss Eda! The massive nest really brings it all together!’?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “There’s also bobs,” Smaska added, pulling a tiny white coin out of thin air. “Twenty bobs to a bit. Bobs are the ones with a Bob on them.” She handed the coin to Luz. Engraved into the coin was the face of a person who did indeed look very much like a Bob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“My papa said they used corporal punishment at Glandus,” Willow murmured. “Thumbscrews.”

    “I don’t have thumbs!” Hooty announced, his face appearing over Amity’s shoulder so suddenly that Amity started and accidentally punched him.

    “I sent a crow to my dad to ask what they did for detention when he was a student at Hexside, but all he said was ‘wait and see’,” Gus moaned. “You don’t think they’d actually torture us? That’s illegal…right?”

    “Eda says I am a torture device. I could torture you if you like,” Hooty offered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, yeah. There were witch-eating monsters in the woods. Luz had forgotten about that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Keep talking like that, Triops, and you’ll be the first student to get detention during detention,” Eda muttered darkly.

“Deten-ception!” Luz murmured. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Farewell, my favorite demonic liege!” Luz sighed dramatically.

 “Goodbye, my favorite loyal subject!” King returned, pressing an overwrought claw to his bony brow.

Eda pulled a disgusted face at their theatrics. “Geez, we’re going to see each other again in like an hour, two hours tops.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Don’t kill each other, you crazy kids. That makes paperwork for me.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ King could be reasoned with, though. Failing that, he could be bribed with snuggles, sweets, and adulation.

Luz cleared her throat and spread her arms out, plastering the sweetest smile she could generate onto her face. (And since she was Luz Noceda, that was like instant diabetic coma levels of sweetness.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Hoot hoot! What’s this? Children out of bed?”

“It’s okay, Hooty, we’re on a mission!” Luz assured him.

 “Oh, in that case…have fun! Don’t get caught! Hoot hoot!” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “How are we able to see if our eyes are invisible?” Amity’s voice inquired from Luz’s left once they were in the stairwell.

“What?” Gus’s voice whispered back.

“It’s how vision works – light hits our eyes and that’s how we see. But if we’re invisible, light isn’t hitting our eyes so how can we see?”

Gus was silent, most likely pondering an answer to Amity’s conundrum. At least, Luz figured he must be, because she certainly was. “Uh…magic?” Gus’s voice answered at length. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Willow shifted sheepishly. “Well, if I recall correctly…it, um, likes to dissolve its prey with acid…”

Ah, that would explain the tingling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “What do you think’s down there?” Amity whispered.

“Only one way to find out,” Luz said, and shoved Amity into the pit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Wow, lucky this cushion pillow thing was here!” Gus remarked.

“You pushed me!” Amity squealed in outrage.

  “Well, I did warn you,” Luz returned with a shrug. She was vaguely aware of a tingly feeling where her body touched the cushion, but she paid it little heed.

  “You—When?” Amity spluttered.

    Luz offered her a cheeky grin. “You said, ‘what’s down there?’ and I said, ‘only one way to find out.’ The only way to find out was to go down there.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Too bad none of us know any healing spells.”

    “Um, speak for yourself, Gustamo,” Luz returned. “But I was present for the healing unit in Magic 101 last semester.”

    “Do you remember any healing spells?”

Luz opened her mouth to reply before closing it again when she realized she didn’t. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “I wonder if this is a trial.”

    “What, see how many stairs you can climb?” Amity snickered. “Not much of a trial.”

    “Well, I don’t know about you, Blight, but I’ve never been what one could call ‘athletically inclined’,” Luz returned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A badge on her arm bore the nine pointed star and triangle symbol, while a badge on the left side of her chest bore the heart and castle symbol. On the inside of her right wrist, she had what appeared to be a small tattoo of the nine-pointed star and triangle symbol. She must really love her job, Luz surmised. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hooty was present as well, wailing and sobbing profusely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ King wrapped his paws around Luz’s neck. “No! I’m never letting go! She’ll have to take me home with her!”

    Luz and Eda shared fond smiles over the top of his head. “Now, come on, King, she lives in the Magbob realm. Do you really want to live there?” Eda said gently.

    King cocked his head to think about it for a moment, before he pulled a grimace of disgust. “Yeah, ew, no.” He jumped out of Luz’s arms. “I’ll see you in Cryptember, Luz!”

Due to Thanks to Them and all the MH stuff happening, I’ve been recently obsessed with both TOH and MH. So, I decided to combine them into an AU. Basically, most of the monsters from MH are different demons from the Demon Realm and they all attend Hexside.

Clawdeen is the same type of demon, or a cousin at least, as Eberwolf. While Beast-Keeping magic comes naturally to her, Clawdeen is instead studying Illusions. She likes to create illusions of outfits when still in the designing stage. She uses Beast-Keeping magic to sort of mimic the effect the full moon has on werewolves.

Draculaura is the TOH equivalent of a vampire. She looks more like Amber, who looks very bat-like, in this AU. If TOH vampires are like MH vampires, then Draculaura has had enough time to more-or-less master the main types of magic. She multi-tracks, obvi.

Frankie is a grimwalker. They still look very much Frankenstein-y. They were their parents first attempt at a grimwalker. I’m sure some of Hunter’s predecessors looked like a patchwork monster too, that’s the reason why the Golden Guard outfit covers their whole body. Also, Frankie’s parents wanted to experiment. They have a prosthetic that is either made of palistrom wood or abomination goo. Technically, they have both, but I don’t know which one should be their main prosthetic.

They can do magic since they are a clone of different witches, unlike Hunter. Being only two weeks old though, they struggle with controlling their magic. It’s a miracle they were able to pass the entrance exam. Since everything is still very new to them, Frankie is enrolled in every track. Their favorites so far are the more science-y ones.

Cleo’s music video made me decide to make her and her family be a family of witches who have been cursed. No one outside of a select few are aware of this. The De Niles are afraid their reputation would be ruined if people found out. They still wear mummy wraps to prevent their limbs from popping off. Cleo is studying Oracle magic. It makes sense since she was always using artifacts in the past.

This Lagoona, who is more like her g1 self while the others are more of a combo of their different versions, is a sea demon. This means she is immune to the boiling seas and the boiling rain. She’s often running errands for others on rainy days. She is on the Beast-Keeping and Plants tracks.

RvB Monster Realm!AU

@queerchorus wanted to hear about this so here is my most recent and honestly my current favorite au, my monster realm!au. (it's really long and i forgot to add a 'keep reading' thing last night)

It starts out with Simmons. Simmons is a human in the human realm and he's not doing all right. He's got a sucky dad who passive aggressively hates him, a job that underpays and stresses him out, and he's got no friends or acquaintances so he's lonely.

After a particularly bad day at work, he decides he's had enough, and he just runs for it. He takes his in-shitty-condition car and heads down the highway. No two-week notice to his job (bc they don't deserve one), no telling his landlord he's leaving (fuck landlords anyway). He just grabs a few things and leaves.

Unfortunately for him, he's stressed out to the point he didn't realize he's running low on gas, and he ends up broken down on the side of a lonesome highway. There's no service, so he can't call a tow truck (not that he could afford to pay for one anyway). He hasn't seen many other people driving along this highway since he got on it, so catching a ride to anywhere was slim. This poor guy is hitting his breaking point.

As Simmons is about to fuck it and start walking back in the direction he came, he seems something flash by in the woods that lines one side of the highway. Usually, he's smart enough to not go after something strange in the woods, but this guy isn't running on logic right now. Simmons goes after it to investigate.

As he chases this thing, he is only catching glimpses through the woods, he's beginning to wonder if his mind had been playing tricks on him. Then, Simmons catches more than a half-second glance of it, right before it just disappears in thin air.

Of course, Simmons is like "uh, what the fuck?" but, like the idiot he is, he goes to the spot it disappeared at. I don't know what he was expecting, but he disappeared too lol.

It turns out that Simmons had found a portal to another realm. It sort of overlaps the human realm--they co-exist over each other? Next to each other? I'm not exactly sure on the logistics quite yet. But whatever it is, there are folds in between the two realms that sometimes cause portals that can transport a being from one realm to the other.

If you're not used to this traveling between realms gig, there are side-effects like migraines, bleeding noses, etc. Simmons? He passes out.

Now, that strange thing Simmons was following was Tau [one of my AI OCs], the little pet dragon of Mich [my main RvB OC] (he's fit-in-your-arms small, so he's definitely on the littler side of dragon species in this realm.) Animals can sense the portals between realms a lot better than other beings, such as humans and several types of monsters, so they often go through the portals to explore each realm. That's why you get crows in the monster realm and the occasional unicorn in the human realm. Tau goes to the human realm to pick up trinkets and supplies and such to bring back to the monster realm (*cough cough* yes, like Owlbert in TOH *cough cough*).

As usual with each excursion Tau goes on, Mich is in the area Tau had left at, waiting for him. She had dragged Grif along to come with her, since no one else at their place was available (aka, Grif had the weakest excuse as to why he couldn't come along).

Before I go on with the plot, I'm going to explain what each of the RnBs (Carolina and Wash are not included as of yet) are so there's no confusion.

Sarge is a gremlin/goblin sort of thing (I haven't figured out which would benefit the plot and humor level more). He's short and grumpy and is quite into inventing. He's the "leader" of the Red side of the clan/group/pack and is very insistent on Reds and Blues being separate, they definitely all hate each other, blah blah blah. Even though they all live in the same house. It causes quite a many disagreements--like how Sarge refuses to use the front door, since it's on the Blues' "side" of the house, so he uses windows and tunnels to leave the house. Or how the kitchen is on the Reds' "side", and he tries demanding payment any time the Blues try getting a meal they need/want. Sarge also helped design and create the house they all live in... and he designed it specifically special for everyone... and he always takes much care in expanding the house when someone new comes to live with them, whether they're Red or Blue... he's somewhat of a hypocrite.

Grif is a werewolf because yes to a big hairy man. He and his little sister were separated from their pack years ago during migration (uh I forgot if there's another word for wolves traveling from different den areas) (also, they weren't separated by accident 👀👀). They were found by Sarge, who at the time only had Mich staying with him. Sarge took them in and raised them. Now, Grif lives in a house full of morons that he says he hates. He never moved once he got older, though, and doesn't really plan on it. He excuses it as he'd rather stick with a bunch of idiots rather than wander alone until he found a new pack. Really, he cares about them and doesn't want to leave them. He'll never admit that, though.

Donut's an angel. He's got the wings (no halo, though... sorry all) and he does have a true angel form, although not many have seen it. He only shifts into that form when he's genuinely pissed off, which is thankfully not often. A while back, he was injured by a couple of demons and was discarded in the woods. He was found by the RnBs and they took him in to help him get back to health. When he was healed, Donut decided to stay, since everyone was so nice and they were now all his friends, even if they don't always share his cheerful sentiment.

Mich... well, nobody knows exactly what she is, or where she came from. Sarge says that she was dropped off as a baby at his old place's doorstep, and he had taken her in and raised her. She doesn't doubt him... though maybe she should, because he's not telling her the full story. That'll be a plot point later on, though. For now, Mich calls herself a hybrid and loves the mystery of it. Everybody just goes along with it, since that's probably what she was, in some way. They speculate that she's at least part demon, due to her leathery wings and completely chaotic attitude. Despite being probably part-demon, however, she and Donut are best friends. Almost everyone is her best friend, however, because no matter how annoying and chaotic she is, she will find any way to make someone her friend, if she wants to. Nobody complains though, because they like her, too.

Doc is a wizard. He isn't the best at what he does--quite far from that, actually--which is why he had his healing license taken and was exiled from his guild/coven/whatever. That, and he was harboring an ill-tempered poltergeist named O'Malley. Doc can perform some healing magic, some of the time, which is good because these muttonheads of the RnB household are always getting hurt. He might be an incompetent at best healer, but he's a good friend (even if he does like to recommend strange things in the ways of cooking). He had been wandering around a busy market on day when Sarge spotted him. Seeing his now-torn healer guild/coven badge on his coat, Sarge asked Doc to come back to his home to help one of his kids house residents, who was sick at the time. Nervous but hopeful, Doc went with Sarge, and Doc ended up successfully healing them. Doc was more than overjoyed to actually do something right for once. He ended up asking Sarge if he could stay with the RnBa, and Sarge obliged.

I don't know what Lopez is yet, but he was created by the combined powers of Sarge and a wizard who visits on occasion to the RnB residence (it's Florida. He and Sarge are boyfriends). Lopez can speak every language other than "common", which is what most monsters universally speak, or at least understand. Lopez understands it, all right--he just refuses to speak it. And he almost never speaks in a language any of the residents understands--it's a stubbornness thing. Lopez is tired, so tired, but he is loyal to his family companions and sticks with them, despite having the opportunity to leave them multiple times. He helps with Sarge's inventions and tries to improve them... or at least make sure they don't explode anything. (If anyone has suggestions on what Lopez can be, I'm open to hear any!)

Church is what is known as a human reflection. He used to be a human who had accidentally found his way into the monster realm like Simmons had. Church was found by Donut and Mich, who had been in the woods gathering ingredients for a potion Doc was working on. They brough Church back to the RnB residence, but Church was desperate to get back to the human realm. He had friends, and a girlfriend. He wanted to get back home. Sarge told him that there was a way to create an artificial portal that can get him right back to the spot where he had entered the first portal (a natural portal can take you anywhere, and besides, they're very difficult to find). The process to make one, however, was difficult, and finding all of the ingredients is even more so. Despite this, Church was determined to get back home. They found everything (or what they thought was everything) in four months, which astonished the group--it was normal for it to take several more months, even years, to gather everything. Sarge built the portal, and after saying goodbye, Church stepped into the portal. However, the portal didn't take him right back to where he had come from. Something was wrong with the portal, and instead of taking him back to the human realm, he was now in the in-between space of the two realms. Every portal is one-way, natural or artificial, so now he couldn't even go back to the monster realm. So he's stuck in the in-between realm. But there's one good(?) thing about being stuck there is that he can see into both realms--he can appear in reflections in either realm to see into them. Mirrors, water, polished metal, anything like that (*cough cough* yes, another thing I borrowed from TOH). The RnBs put mirrors all over the house so he can appear anywhere he wants. Church now doesn't age, but his grumpiness continues to grow at a disappointingly steady rate.

Tucker is another human who stumbled into the monster realm. He came a few years after Church. He got found by Doc this time, looking for herbs. Doc brought Tucker back to the house, but not before making Tucker carry a bunch of stuff for him lmao. Unlike Church, when Tucker heard about how hard it is to create a portal, he decided to stay in the monster realm. It seemed a lot easier to just learn to live in the monster realm then to find all this rare stuff to make a portal that might not even work. He ended up having a fling with an orc, which produced Junior. He ended up with Junior, since the kid didn't really fit in with the tough lifestyle that particular orc clan had. But that's okay because Tucker loves his son. The RnBs help out with Junior, so he's got a bunch of uncles.

Caboose is a centaur. He was found wandering alone when he was young, and Sarge adopted him took him in. He's the happiest guy in the entire realm and everyone knows it. He's friendly to everybody and often has to be stopped from breaking people's ribs with his literally bone-crushing hugs. Caboose loves giving his friends rides and running fast with them--he often scares them when he starts running fast. Soon after he was taken in by Sarge, he found a baby dragon alone in the woods. He took it in, named it Freckles after the brown flecks on its snout, and raised it as his pet. Freckles grew to the size of a large retriever (still significantly smaller, even miniscule, compared to other dragons in the realm) and is quite friendly, as long as no one is threatening Caboose. If that's the case, he's quite ready to spring on the attack. He can and is capable of tearing off limbs.

Kai is a werewolf like her older brother Dex, but when their mom was pregnant with Kai, she was bitten by a vampire, altering Kai's appearance and abilities. She's smaller than most werewolves (in both regular and shifted form), but has heightened senses and resistance to most vampire and werewolf deterrents. Her regular form makes her appear more like a furry vampire, and her shifted form is mostly hairless, but with huge ears, fangs, and claws. Her "strange" appearance is what eventually got her and Grif left behind by their pack during a migration. (Another reason why Grif doesn't want to go searching for a new "pack"--he doesn't want to encounter his old one. He also would never leave Kai). Despite the whole getting abandoned by the pack thing as a child, Kai is quite cheerful, energetic, and happy to explore the world. After getting found by Sarge, she was able to know what it's like to be in a family that won't degrade her for how she looks (hybrids aren't usually frowned upon, btw. It's just that pack was a bunch of old-fashioned dicks). She's a lot happier in the RnBs household now.

Now, back to the story. Mich and Grif are waiting for Tau to return from the human realm. Tau eventually reaches them, and instead of being ready to come home like he usually is, Tau leads them further into the woods. Puzzled, Mich follows, while Grif groans and complains, just wanting to get back home to eat the Oreos Tau had brought him (the monster realm has Oreos, but Grif doesn't think they taste all that good). Tau leads them to an unconscious Simmons, much to the two's surprise. They're standing there, wondering what to do with him (Church and Tucker hadn't been passed out when they had been found so this is new), and Simmons comes to. He sees Grif and Mich and screams. Mich is like "hey hey calm down!! We're not gonna hurt you!!" and while talking, she brandishes her large fangs and waves her hands sporting huge ass claws around. Simmons faints again gkhfkjd.

Grif's like "wow this guy's a fucking wuss" and Mich is like "we should get Doc to help him". Grif shrugs, and when he makes no sign of moving, Mich huffs in annoyance and races back to the house. While she's gone, Simmons comes to again and freaks out again, though on a slightly lesser level. Grif is quite annoyed and is like "dude calm down, I'm not going to eat you". Simmons tries to calm down and Grif just stands there, impatiently waiting for Mich to return with Doc.

Simmons calms himself down enough to stop dramatically freaking out. He asks "where am I, who are you, and what the fuck was up with the… other…. thing?" (rude, Simmons) Grif rolls his eyes and responds with "you're in the monster realm, human. I'm Grif, and she's my fr--housemate--Mich. Mich is a bit overbearing. you get used to it".

Mich returns with Doc, and Simmons' anxiety spikes a bit but doesn't start freaking out again. Doc helps him with his bloody nose, which Simmons did not notice until it was pointed out, and Simmons asks a bunch of questions about this "monster realm". he finds out about the difficulty to make a portal and is quite bummed. Especially when they tell him that Sarge is the only one around who would be willing to make a portal. He decides that he'll have to do some research to make sure the portal is done right--he doesn't want to turn into a human reflection like Church. Speaking of Church--he and Simmons are cousins and are quite surprised by the reunion. "so THAT'S what happened to you" "I don't want to talk about it".

This is mainly what I have for the plot so far. I've got a couple certain things that will come into the story eventually--such as parts of the journey to finding the components for the portal-- that'll I'll be listing here, along with different species I want to incorporate into this AU.

During the trek to finding the portal ingredients, Sarge tells the group (consisting of himself, Simmons, Tucker, and Grif) that they will have to get past a "moving mountain". Simmons asks what this means, and Sarge tells him about certain mountains that are there some of the time and gone other times. Simmons figures this means the mountain goes invisible, or it's some magic thing. When they get there, the mountain is gone. Sarge urges them to hurry before the mountain came back. Simmons is surprised that they aren't climbing up an invisible mountain, but definitely doesn't mind crossing the huge, open valley. As they're getting towards the end of the valley, the "mountain" returns, except it's not a mountain--it's a dragon, the size of a mountain. Simmons had come to believe that, since he'd only seen Freckles and Tau so far, that all dragons were on the smaller side here, and is terrified to see such a huge dragon. Tucker tells him that it won't hurt them, because it probably doesn't even notice them--it's sight and hearing are too weak to pick up on them. Sarge adds that they need to hurry, though, before the dragon flattens them when it comes to settle back down, and they barely make it across the rest of the valley before the dragon completely lays down.

As stated before, Sarge has been lying about where Mich had come from and what she is. What actually happened was that while out in a forest one day, and found a section of it that was on fire. He heard the wailing of a child. Sarge found baby Mich close to the fire, crying. He quickly rescued her and got her away from the flames. In the distance, he saw winged figures flapping away, and realized that they must have left her there, for some strange reason. He never told Mich the truth because he didn't want her to know she was abandoned, left for dead, in a field of flame. While Sarge, Grif, Simmons, and Tucker are on the hunt for the portal ingredients, Mich somehow finds out about the truth of what happened with her as an infant. She waits until they come back home to confront Sarge about it, and there's a long, drawn-out argument about it. They eventually break it up (read: Caboose drags Mich away from the situation) and fall in an prickly uneasiness around each other. Mich tries to find out who abandoned her in the fire and definitely doesn't find what she was expecting.

The Freelancers are going to have a role in here somehow. York (Mich's biological older brother) is definitely showing up, and he might've been in the plot of abandoning Mich (not willingly). Wash and Carolina are definitely making appearances too. I want to also have CT, the twins, Maine, Tex, and probably others here, as well. I just need to find ways of incorporating them (suggestions on this are welcome!)

The twins are going to be vampires (because they're so pale haha).

And now for the list of species I want to incorporate. If anyone has suggestions for additional species or possible ways of them being involved in the AU, please let me know!

[starlit-pathways]

rules: tag people you would like to know/catch up with❤️

thank you so much @faeinthefog for tagging me, you have such incredible taste???? (as always) also, brb adding piranesi to my already-too-long tbr list

...speaking of lists that are far too long!! *cracks knuckles* let's get down to business!!!!

last song: excluding my many varied writing playlists, then probably eclipse by moonbyul or love poem by iu, including my writing playlists then this was my last listen

last movie: the prom. didn't personally vibe with it but i know it meant a lot to some (personally, i feel like a lot of what it was trying to do has already been done better by other films—like ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga). it had very pretty colours in it?? and i definitely wouldn't pass up the chance to play emma in an actual musical, but i feel like the story itself is too much of "aaaaand THIS is how the Gay Struggle™‬ applies to the average straight person!!!" which I don't even mind in a story that's done WELL (again, see ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga, or even one of my favourite books; the seven husbands of evelyn hugo) but i don't personally feel like it was done well enough here to pass it off

currently watching: oh no. a LOT. uhhhh okay let's try counting

1) godless—a miniseries on netflix which is v. good and very beautiful; essentially a story about fatherhood, masculinity and the loss/lack of it in a historical "wild west" type setting (it's a lot more diverse than it sounds. i promise.)

2) the fresh prince of bel-air—i shouldn't have to describe this one to many people lol, but it's basically a comedy about a quick-witted, very street-smart boy who goes to live with his very wealthy and privileged family in bel-air. it's very funny, and very heartwarming but i'm only a couple episodes in so far.

3) my mister—i'm only a few episodes into this drama myself but. damn. it's a show about two very broken, wearied people whose lives are falling apart in different ways (a very principled slightly older man, and a very... alternatively principled younger woman), who find each other and help each other heal. i've seen their relationship described as "everything but romantic", though the subject of romance and the nature of their relationship is questioned in the show and sometimes by the two characters

4) taskmaster—this one's just FUN, and also quite honestly pure chaos. i'm trading favourite shows with a friend, and damn if i'm not having a blast with this one. it's basically about a group of comedians who get given a set of tasks/challenges to do, to see who does them best—it has the exact same vibe of the joke "how many comedians does it take to change a lightbulb?". if nobody watches anything else of the show, i implore them to at LEAST watch this tree wizard clip. it's a masterpiece.

5) rick and morty—probably not my favourite type of show (monster of the week's not my usual style), but still good if you're it's intended audience. trading this with another friend, and i'm very much enjoying the experience of trash-talking all of the adult characters every episode with them.

6) mr. iglesias—this one's a very new addition. am also watching it with a friend. comedy about found family in a classroom full of underprivileged kids and the one teacher who really cares about them. i like it! i love marisol a lot as a character and mr. iglesias is very wholesome

re-watching:

7) the untamed—i'm going to be watching this show in some capacity for the rest of my life. i'm on my seventh watch by now and it never diminishes in quality. it's a truly epic introspective character exploration, about a quick-minded, entirely chaotic and very free-spirited man who dies and comes back in quite literally the opening moments of the show. you get to see his descent from being the world's envy to being the world's villain. it's a wonderful fantasy series about perception, the nature of morality, of family (born, raised and chosen) and about building a better world. did i mention that the main character is—as far as chinese censorship laws would allow—very bisexual and the story very heavily features a love story between him and another man? this was the edit that got me into it (it has spoilers but without context it won't make any sense anyway)

8) healer—what a drama. this is all about the power of information—how being informed and making information available can heal a nation that was built to be corrupt. starring a character who is basically a man who is a much poorer batman (kind of like a batman for hire?) with superman's love life (the show's got one of the best and most valid love triangles i've ever seen—and that's coming from somebody who typically HATES love triangles with a burning passion) and a woman who is feisty and strong-willed but not in an overbearing way? as well as amazing action, from somebody who normally can't stand action. i love the chemistry between the two romantic leads and just. i love the three leading characters, and a great deal of the periphery ones a lot. this show is absolutely incredible, would highly recommend

9) it's okay to not be okay/psycho but it's okay—a show that says neurodivergency and found family rights!!!! it's a very healing and introspective drama, but equally very intense/gripping/interesting? the chemistry between the two leads is astounding, and i just really love the amount of empathy this show has? it's truly stunning to watch and experience. starring an absolute badass of a woman, who acts almost entirely on impulse and communicates with the world through storytelling and fairytales, alongside a very kind and nurturing man who doesn't know how to communicate when he's miserable and an autistic man, who struggles deeply with his own fight for independence (i wasn't too sure on him at first, but he grows into just as much of an equally important character as the other two and i loved his arc).

currently reading: the earthsea quartet, by ursula le guin—i'm really loving it! it's probably not one of my favourites (yet), but she has such an interesting way of building up her world, and there's such a strong sense of compassion in every word she writes.

also i've recently found and fallen in love with this fic series. it's very nsfw and modern au's aren't usually my thing for historical (or even semi-historical) fiction/fantasy, but there's just something about sex worker!wei wuxian and translator!(and also secret fashion nerd!)lan wangji both being absolute disasters and also really cute and really repressed but also being neurodivergent and disabled characters (i'm SO here for autistic!lan wangji, traumatised!wei wuxian and chronically ill!yanli all being happy) and getting therapy that really appeals to me.

currently craving: crisps. always. of the salt and vinegar variety (this specific variety especially), of course, but there's never a day that passes when i'm not craving crisps

this was really fun!!! now for the worst part of this............ tagging. OKAY. so... please know that nobody is under any obligation to do, or even acknowledge, this—and also, if i missed you, you see this and you WANT to, then consider the act of seeing/hearing this a formal invitation

@ethereal-sserendipity @lillb5678 @genericfandomusername456 @mars-aria @ikatella @juliedohbigny @multiplequestionmarks @itiredwriter @myrim-anna-rose @gaysofmyheart

Pool’s Best Push Through To The Final 64

(Doha, Qatar)–A veritable armada of pool’s biggest stars pushed their way through to the Final 64 knockout stage at the Al Arabi Sports Club in Doha today, as the business end of proceedings quickly started to take shape at the 2018 World 9-ball Championship. It was a very busy day which saw 32 players qualify for the money rounds, and another 32 players see their dreams of glory come to a screeching halt. Of course it was quite expected when the tournament began on Friday that over half the original field of 128 players from over 40 countries had no chance at actually winning the event. But the outcomes today were somewhat surprising in that we saw few of the upsets fans have come to expect in the group stages over the years. The only big name to fall by the wayside and get a pink slip was 2001 World 9-ball Champion and Hall of Famer Mika Immonen, who lost his second straight match in as many days. Otherwise the day’s action saw one superstar and rising star after the next take their place in the final 64. When the field is filled at the end of the day’s play on Sunday, fans around the world can expect one of the finest runs to the gold in many years. World number one Klenti Kaci hasn’t looked his sharpest so far. But the 19 year old Albanian did what he had to do in a steady 9-6 win over Kuwaiti Meshaal Al Murdhi. Defending champion Carlo Biado of the Philippines seemed to be on cruise control in his 9-5 win over Russia’s Sergey Lutsker. Despite being the reigning 9-ball king, the Filipino great benefits from being so humble and so low key that he plays almost unnoticed. The biggest winners Saturday in terms of countries was Taiwan, which saw a whopping seven of its players qualify for the round of 64. 2015 World 9-ball champion Ko Pin Yi looked the goods today as he handily beat Czech Republic’s Roman Hybler, 9-4. 2017 semi-finalist Lin Wu Kun grinded out a solid 9 – 7 victory over former champion Yukio Akagariyama of Japan. Ko’s younger brother Ko Ping Chung took a 9 – 6 win over Greece’s Nikolas Malai. Hsieh Chia Chen beat Russian strongman Ruslan Chinhov 9-8 to make it through.vLui Ri Ten beat American Billy Thorpe 9-7 to make it through. Taiwan’s biggest monster right now—and that is saying something– is surely Chang Jung Lin who is currently ranked number 2 in the world. Chang did win his second straight match to qualify today, but he once again had to go to the limit to get there. Chang blew an 8-5 lead to Greece’s Damianos Giallourakis and had to eke out victory with a nervy clear in the very last rack for a second straight 9-8 win.

The USA’s Shane Van Boening, who is one of the heavy favorites this week in Doha, didn’t have as easy a time today as he did on day one. But he was never in real trouble against Venezuelan veteran Jalal Al Sarisi, winning 9-7. SVB’s Mosconi Cup teammate Corey Duel played steady 9-ball and easily defeated Finland’s Petri Makkonen 9-4 to make the knockout stage. World number six and 2014 champion Niels Feijen had another solid day, defeating Spain’s Francisco Diaz-Pizarro, 9-7. The Dutchman’s Mosconi teammate Albin Ouschan didn’t fare as well as he took a thumping from Poland’s Konrad Juszczyszyn, 9-4. Juszczyszyn may not be a household name to pool fans but it should be noted that he is the current European 9-ball champion. Another Pole who scored a very big victory was Mateusz Sniegocki who took down a very tough Filipino, Jeffrey Ignacio, 9-5. Tomasz Kaplan made it three for Poland today with a win over South Africa’s Jason Theron. It was good day for the Germans as both Ralf Souquet and Joshua Filler won their second straight matches to qualify for the final 64. 18 year old Russian Fedor Gorst continued to impress as he qualified with a handy 9-1 win over Jeong Young Hwa of Korea. It was a very big day for the Japanese side as three players made it through with impressive wins. Takano Tomoo took down former world champion Wu Jiaqing 9-8. Naoyuki Oi was a 9 – 4 winner over Finland’s Casper Matikainen. And Tomoya Iima took a 9 – 7 win over Hoang Guong Quoc of Vietnam. Other winners who qualified for the knockout rounds included the Philippines Jeffrey De Luna, Singapore’s Aloysius Yapp, Canada’s Alex Pagulayan, Myanmar’s talented Phone Myint Kyaw, Spain’s Fracisco Sanchez Ruiz, Greece’s Alex Kazakis, China’s Wang Can and Russia’s Konstantin Stepanov. Chris Melling, the lone Brit in the field, again looked the goods as he easily beat South Africa’s Richard Halliday, 9-3. Qatar’s Waleed Majid also won his second straight to make it through, beating China’s Xu Xiacong, 9-6.

Play continues on Sunday in Doha at the Al Arabi with the action beginning at 12pm local time (GMT +3.) All matches on Sunday will be do or die, losers side matches with the winners advancing to the knockout round and the losers going out of the event.

BLIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! Next Chapter Preview:

“Ohhhhhhhhhh.” Hopkins growled. “I choose, CLEANSE THE TOWN OF EVIL!” As he spoke, Not Philip’s eyes glowed – and so did the lights on the tops of the abomination-ized (zombiminationized?) Gravesfieldian’s heads. They swiveled around towards Vee and the others. Luz and Amity put their arms out as they began to back up. 

“I CHOOSE CLEANSE THE TOWN OF EVIL, PHILIP!” Hopkins shouted it now. “STARTING WITH THEM!”  He pointed directly at Vee and her siblings.

Hi All! I'm GoblinQueen (AKA ChildlikeGoblinQueen) and I write TOH fan fiction

cover art by @lovemoroporo !

A few things about me:

I have been known to stick with a fandom for a VERY long time, so I'll be riding this train for quite a bit.

Fan fiction has become a really important outlet for me. I have been lucky enough to make some great friends within the fandom -- and I enjoy engaging with folks regarding TOH, fan art, headcanons,fics, books, and general geekery.

That said, I am an adult with a full time job and a young family. So just keep that in mind. This is something I do because I enjoy it! I appreciate everyone who puts effort into their writing and am not in competition with anyone.

The fear of burnout is real.

I am an avid reader, a big fan of music and pop culture (I incorporate both into my story telling).

Below is a Master List of links to my current and past fics.

CURRENT PROJECTS!

Bittersweet Symphony (A 90's Human AU with @threegoblinart)

Criminal (A post SCOMverse story.) -- A bit whumpier story featuring retrieval of lost memories and early parenthood. Don't read unless you've finished SCOM. It won't make sense if you haven't.

Sweet Child O' Mine

^^ Link ^^

Years after Belos' defeat and the alliance with the Collector, things have settled into a new normal. Amity and Luz are married and have a young daughter named Azura. Hunter and Willow have also married and have just found out that they are going to become parents!

Hunter looks back on the events leading up to the birth of his and Willow's first child.

Triggered by outside influences which stir fear and doubt within him, Hunter wonders if he is incapable of being a good father given the nature of his own upbringing.

As the pressure builds, Hunter will need to lean on the support of his found family and friends to make it through unsolicited advice, planning a surprise baby shower and the public’s fascination with his past life under Belos in order to protect what is most precious to him.

SCOM is COMPLETE! Below are links to some in-universe stories that do not spoil the main plot.

SCOMVERSE Prequels:

(Before the main story, generally featuring the characters as teenagers developing their relationships and familial bonds.)

Hunter's Trauma One Shots etc:

Back to the beginning. There's one way back to home again. To where I feel forgiven (collab)

The Future's Overdue (collab)

Words like violence (Vee's POV)

If you’re sinking like a stone, carry on. (collab)

Take these broken wings (collab)

I knew the reason I felt hollow.

Early Huntlow relationship stuff. Some fluff and angst etc :

You, Strange as Angels

I Remember skies, reflected in your eyes

Sun says you fly

But traditions I can trace against the child in your face.

Thank You Consequence (Longer, multiple POV story about Hunter's first Thanksgiving after becoming a Noceda)

Huntlow Week Shorties 2023

Parenthood! (Sort of) One shots involving Hunter and Willow being new parents but the baby is yet unnamed.

Believe it or not, hands on a miracle

I Climbed a Mountain and I Turned Around

My Father's Eyes (collab)

Misc:

I'm Telling Y'all it's Sabotage! (Noceda Sibling Shenanigans)

Learn to Fly

Here's a waiver for you to sign (crack fic involving Hettie Cutburn being obsessed with House M.D.)

Monster of the Week: (SCOM Askew-niverse)

Pre-Scomverse stories where the Hexsquad deals with monsters across realms -- and adolescence (think BtVS ). Some continuity might be a little off, but its basically prequels.

Grimwalker Stories (Scary Tales and other stories involving pre-Belos Grimwalkers.

Older:

Stranger Tides: (My first TOH fic. A Stranger Things inspired retelling of Thanks to Them.)
