#TY FOR THE ASK!!!

[triona-tribblescore]

Hello there, skeleton annon here,

Was reading your pirate au and was wondering, Leo was raised by big mama right? Then how do the others know him? Were they also big mamas kids? Or is it a separated au where they were raised by splinter without him?

Can't wait for the next update!! :D

- 💀

totally accurate recreation of how they met-

HI!! TY FOR THE ASK :DD

boutta info dump a lil-

OKAY SO! Yes!! Leo was raised by big mama, and the others, by Splinter~ So I suppose I'd consider it a separated AU! :)

Not gonna reveal toooo much on Splinter atm cause I actually have a bit of a whole mini-arc thing for him planned, he may be filling in his role of absent father once more guys im sorry- /lh

The others were told to get some of their own experience out at sea, But obviously, the only knowledge they have of it is through what stories Splinter has shared with them and the minimal training he's taught em. very bare-bones stuff. So they are kinda just out there wandering with no real goal or idea of what to actually do

Until they find leo that is!!

Despite finding him, the uh, the guys... don't actually know that leo..is their brother...YET!! YET!

And vice versa, Leo just saw these guys and was like

"Oh, this lot looks cool~ and i am desperate for a crew and im alone out here and kinda sad and ihavenoideawhatimdoingOHGOD- so uh, join me? :)"

totally unbeknownst to him that they are his bro's/that he even HAS brothers. As IF big mama would ever give him that type of hope yk? ;)

the three already know April too, she joins later on after the ship pulls into a shipping port and finds her trying to pick a fight with a rouge mayhem who stole her boot.

AH- ANYWAY TY FOR THE ASK!!!! Hope that clears it up a lil :))

Read the latest chapter,,,, hang in there Wisp,,,

"Im gonna answer asks in order" I told myself- and then out of the corner of my eye just JASHSKDLAD

His little clawed hands oh so gently cradling his best friend, the mask to the side- little tools and just his FACE G O D

This?? This is perfect. Im in shock and awe, and you captured the whole atmosphere so so perfectly. After the blind panic wanes, and instead hes just stuck in an odd productive despair.

Because he needs to fix her, that takes priority over processing his grief losing her like that. No one to comfort him, he wouldnt even bother to change before frantically getting to work.

Just- beautiful

I have questions!!

Blue is Cross's roommate right? Or like, dorm-mate, does he know that Cross is a werewolf? Like obviously Cross wouldn't tell him because he's been fighting it his whole life, but does Blue have any sort of idea that something's up with him?

Also, do the likes of Dream and Ink live nearby the college or near Nightmare? Does Dream visit or see Nightmare often? How often do you think we'll see them in the story? :o

Blue doesn't know that Cross is a werewolf, not at all. He's a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the supernatural so that works in Cross's favor. Obviously the 'having to leave campus once every month' is weird but Blue has definitely seen weirder shit than that in the college dorms so he isn't too worried.

I like the idea that maybe some attack in a smaller town made it onto a bigger news channel and locals are talking about it being a werewolf attack and blue's just hearing this going like "pff are they actually believing these guys? C'mon werewolves?really?" and Cross is just like:

Dream and Ink live.... Somewhere. Not anywhere near the city though that's for sure. Dream does visit though Ink is more elusive. He comes and goes as he pleases and you're never sure to be happy or sorry he showed up.

Dream doesn't visit too often, they do meet up for tea on occasion. There usually needs to be a reason for the two to be together, mostly Nightmare coming to Dream for favors, help and the likes. While Nightmare is more experienced and definitely wiser than Dream, Dream has access to a certain type of knowledge Nightmare doesn't. Meeting ink who's... A bit on the strange side does give Dream insight into all things unexplained.

As a side note I do like to think that Ink also visited Dream while he was stuck as a tree. He didn't actually know Dream was ever alive just thought he was a weird tree lol. Dream became his hangout spot for a while lol.

how likely are you to eat?

Shapes- 3/10 😫 Would stab the sides of my mouth/tounge which ouchie doesnt feel that fun

Blocks- 5/10 🙄 Less stabby, but still not all that fun, theres enough square normally digestable food

Circles- 8/10 🤤 CRUNCHY LIL CRISPS!! I want some now

Bears- 9/10 😋 Basically gummy bears, but could use some more variety ya know???

Transportation- 10/10 🤩 Get them in my mouth rn, the colors, the shape, mouthfeel?? off the charts- I would pay MONEY (for the hospital bills afterwards) and it would be worth it :)

[spadeprincesss]

Okay now I am genuinely curious if shadow's clothes depend on his emotional state

Will he just turn into an eldrich abomination if he gets upset enough

Like he probably doesn’t have an actual body but more like shapeshifter magic or something

(How does his magic work in your AU please if possible could you explain it please 🙏 don’t have to off course but it would be extremely interesting lore)

Like is he a shadow who just shapeshifts to look like a hylian

But it is more of a 3D rendering type of shapeshifting of just having on layer that is everything like clothes and skin and inside he still is a shadow

Or

Is it actual shapeshifting with all physical organs and features as well like a brain , a hearth and everything

Both are fun interpretations off course and I would accept any explanation for it

I just want to know what you think it is (because it is your idea and everything)

I LOVE this ask! I know a few people are very curious about this powers so I’m gonna share all my ideas as best as I can!

Between the two ideas you gave the first one describes him pretty much perfectly. His appearance is a layer of magic he puts over himself to look human. Being a living shadow means he doesn’t truly have a “real form”, more a default one. Because although most of the time your shadow may look like your silhouette it doesn’t always, does it? So yes Shadow tends to default to looking like Link but as he grows into his powers and more importantly, into his own person, he starts to take on an appearance that he prefers!

Which means that the answer to your first question is pretty much yes! In anger he turns into a monster because his thoughts devolve into what’s strong enough to hurt what made me angry.

However when he’s panicking/unstable he can lose corporeal form completely, he’s hard to really understand or see, which makes it difficult to help him calm down, but thankfully he has very caring friends that stay with him despite not really understanding what or where he is exactly.

I have a doodle of what one of his forms looks like I’m going to post real soon but its vidow centered and I’m not sure if that’s your cup of tea so I didn’t wanna add it in this answer.

Again thank you for this ask!

[wraith-caller]

Hi! About the "character and what you think about them" thing... How about Thiollier? If you want to. I am curious

there is nothing more i want in life than to yap about elden ring, so ty for asking :]

favorite thing about them

I like that he's so miserable. This is the siren song for me, if they're miserable I love them. I like that he is so desperate for Trina's sleep he tries to recreate it himself and it's just this pale and awful imitation of her purity. I love when he aggros on us (and ok at first I was scared I had to kill him and I was so sad lol like I knew he'd die, but I didn't want it to be my fault!!), and how he grows through it to ally with us again. That his faith in Trina was such that it helped him overcome this sorta cowardly "im a wimp who cant do anything" belief and drove him to challenge a god for her.

least favorite thing about them

that he buffs the boss healthbar when I summon him but isn't as good for the fight as Ansbach :[ he truly is weak as a kitten hum

favorite line

"You are a wretched, wretched soul... A nightmare, come to plague me." Like i said I like the misery lol

brOTP

him and Ansbach! I like the idea of the latter taking on a kind of mentorship role to this rejected, pathetic dweeb, and Thiollier earning his respect before the battle was a cute moment.

OTP

Honestly not sure. I can think of pairings that'd be fun for pure horny reasons but nothing that really says 'theyd be actually good together'. Maybe he'd go well with Maleigh Marais, since poison and rot are pretty well respected there rather than denigrated as seems to be the case where he is from? Or a perfumer?

nOTP

I don't really have many nOTPs tbh lol Maybe I think him and Leda would be hard to justify and get into? Her dedication to Miquella is in direct opposition to his own for St. Trina, but she's also willing to murder people over such a difference, so I can't see her falling for him. Or much of anyone who isn't faithful to Miq lol

random headcanon

Since he is a Tarnished, he probably died once before coming to the Lands Between. It's tempting to say that death was from imbibing Trina's nectar, but I struggle to justify how he'd get access to it if he lived outside the Lands. Maybe a traveling merchant had some and he stole it, and died, and has been chasing that high ever since.

unpopular opinion

I don't like 'he's just a widdle eepy guy' type takes on him. It diminishes his character, and there's more of interest to be said about him than how eepy he is. I'm a grouch, there is no fun allowed.

song i associate with them

"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden

favorite picture of them

this one by Zlofsky2nd on twitter!! it reminds me of caravaggio's take on narcissus

[jayladfanpage]

jayladfanpage i hope you know youve been my personal bible while writing my jaybin fic... speaking of which! Forever devastated by Jason seeking out and subsequently dying for his mother. If you have any Jason and his mom(s) thoughts, pls spare me a crumb 🙏

YEAHHH I WIN THESE!! HAPPY TO HELP!!

I'm always very mentally ill about Jason and his moms, Catherine especially. I like the thought that Jaybin fit into the role of Robin so well was because he was used to taking care of Catherine and subsequently raising himself, so the role of "light to Batman's darkness" felt natural to him. Idk, something about the concept of Robin being about helping someone out of a bad situation but for Jason it reinforces the belief that he needs to save/protect the adults in his life and not the other way around is really yummy

I also love the idea that as Jason grew up and filled out as Robin, mostly due to no longer living in starvation, he started looking more and more like Willis, and desperately tried to find traits of Catherine in him, only to find none, because Cathy isn't his bio mom, and when he sees Sheila for the first time it's almost like looking in a funhouse mirror.

Uhm uhm!! I really liked the Nightwing Annual where it showed Jason as a child having to call the paramedics when his mom O.D.'d for the first time and he hid in the closet with his hands over his ears until they were done. It fucked me up so bad and I think there's a lot of space for guilt there, where Jason constantly beats himself up for not being to save Cathy or Sheila, wondering if he's the one at fault for their deaths, if being his parent is just a curse that inflicts pain into everyone who loves him :3

Vegas…….

this is my beloved post-vegas detective john lives au. he has a second chance and hes trying to turn his life back around but he keeps being given the "weird" cases because he's good at thinking outside of the box and he keeps solving them. and hes juggling two cases, once sgc related and one not and rodney comes back into his life.

it also feats my fav minor hc, john and dave are twins. a not good guy lorne and one of my favorite oc's ive ever written, Bell.

He tilted his head to the side as he moved back into a crouch and rested one hand on it to keep from rolling away as he pulled out his phone and hit speed dial.

“Las Vegas Crime Lab. You kill ‘em, we fill ‘em.”

“Seriously?”

“Caller ID. What do you want, Sheppard?” Bell asked, chuckling.

“You got the photos from the crush injury guy?”

“Barr? Yeah, hold on.” There was a shuffling noise and then Bell was back, humming. “What do you want to know?”

“Bowling ball?” John asked, rolling it around to try and see anything but the alley was dirty, and the bowling ball picked up every speck of sand and dirt it touched. “Found it under the trash by the body.”

Bell hummed. “Bright blue?”

“Yep.”

“Yeah, did a quick dust and didn’t find anything. It was lodged under there pretty well. ‘sides, we photographed it and it's only a six pounder. Something for the little kids. Won’t crush a man.”

Bell always was six steps ahead of them all. “Even if it’s multiple times?”

“I’ve got the initial report from Lam. The amount of time it would take to cause the injures Barr had? Nah, you’d need a twenty or bigger, and even then, it’s gonna take multiple drops even from a height. Nice try though. Why so focused?”

“Because it’s better than nothing,” John replied, letting go of it and watching as it rolled back, right to the same position it had been. Bracing a hand on the ground he leaned down. “Y’all check under the trash bins?”

“What do you take me for?”

“Overworked and underfunded?” John asked, kneeling on the ground and grabbing his flashlight from inside his jacket and shining it under the trash. He reached out and rolled the bowling ball away. “You busy?”

Bell was silent for a long time. “Fuck you.”

The phone went silent, and John snorted, sliding it back into his pocket as he stood up, ignoring the ache in his side from a scar that still hadn’t fully settled. He began to wander, paying closer attention as he waited for Bell to arrive.

----

Bellarina Dixon was five foot two on a good day, had parents who had dreams for her and thought naming her after those dreams would inspire them, and had a fascination with bodies that bordered on creepy and the running joke was she could be a serial killer and they’d all let her get away with it as long as she kept helping them find their own killers. She had an eye for details and zero patience. John had always appreciated her bluntness, as well as how quick she could turn the crime scenes around when needed.

“What the fuck did you find, Sheppard?” Bell demanded, ducking over the crime scene tape, storming over and glaring up at him from behind glasses that had stepped out of the 80’s.

what's in your wol's travel bag? any trinkets? any vital items they cant go without? do they travel light and figure stuff out on the fly, or do they bring way too much with them? (bonu

Odette is a Nun Errant, traveling is part of her duties! She spends a lot of time on the road and is always adjusting what is in her pack. Here is a general list of what she might carry with her:

An extra set of traveling clothing.

Weather-proofed boots, spare.

Homespun wool yarn and knitting needles.

Whatever knitting project she’s working on currently.

A very beefy first aid kit. Just in case!

Supplies for cleaning graves:

Brushes of various sizes and bristle stiffness

Clean cloths, and dirty ones stuffed into a ‘to wash’ bag.

Gentle cleaning solutions

A little folding shovel for particularly gritty situations.

Blessed cloth of various make to use for burial shrouds and wraps, as needed. 

Bottled moon-touched waters for blessings.

A substantial letter writing kit.

Karakul Feed (Rou)

Hoof care supplies (Rou)

Rope.

Tent and bedroll, weather-proofed.

Various herbs used to quiet the restless dead.

Armor Care Kit (cloths, oils, wax, etc)

Sword Care Kit (cloths, oils, wax, whetstone, etc)

Fire Starting Kit.

A camp chair/stool.

A hammock.

Approx four to six books, swapped as she travels. 

Foraging books, just to double check her finds and to press flower petals with. 

Compass and several maps of regions.

Odette’s is not very good at ‘figuring stuff out on the fly.’ She would love nothing more than to be a cool go-with-the-flow kind of girl. Alas, the bees. Even her day-to-day wear tends to feature a lot of bags and deep pockets. In these she carries:

Small vials of moon-touched water for blessings.

Several polished moonstones to give out as worry stones and good luck charms.

Several trinkets to give to friends for protection and love, made by her own hand.

Her prayer beads, carved and assembled by her Sisters

Pencils and notebooks.

At least one book she’s currently reading.

Snacks.

Mints.

Whatever she’s pinched from other people’s pockets.

Thank you so much for the ask!

][ Pre-Dawntrail WoL Questions ][

[arins-art-alley]

How exactly is the were-kraken form triggered?

transcript and more mumblings under cut! Thanks for the ask!

theres 3 ways a werekraken can be triggered:

Full moon: happens almost monthly, and if a blue moon occurs ( two full moons in one month ) the extra stress on the inkfish body can be dangerous.

At Will: If an werekraken is experienced enough, they can shift into werekraken at will. This lasts usually a couple of hours at most, and easier to come out of at will, unlike a forced one, which lasts two days and is much harder to come out of. Typically seen in middle-aged werekrakens, such as Callie and Marie's Moms.

Special Overload! Prefacing with a bit of canon lore here, specials are connected to emotions, as seen with Pearl's MC princess cannon in octo expansion, and in the Splatoon 2 Super Smash Bros splatfest art, where Pearl gets so upset that she charges her special. In the werekraken au, if this happens to a cursed inkfish and they don't make an effort to calm down, it can trip the signal to summon a werekraken, getting them stuck in form for 2 days, similar to a Full moon.

Using Callie as a model, some signs of a incoming shift include milk eyes, frothy mouth/drooling, being sometimes confused or unresponsive to langauges they typically speak, their form melting into ink, and occasionally an charged special effect where the tentacles glow and shine.

~~~ more rambling, transcript ends there.

With the special overload, comes even more increased strength: an perfectly calm werekraken has lots of power, but the special overload gives an adrenline kick, which can be dangerous for everyone, including the Werekraken. The increased stress can make the heart fail, along with inksac failure.

So while it's pretty rare to happen, your average werekraken still might take precautions to not get too worked up. Even then, not everyone can control their emotions! Say if you're a young, 17 year old pop star. You and your cousin are having a intense fight, both of you pitted against each other, on live TV. After spitting back, the both of you, so angry with each other, you have to take a small break from filming, cause you started to trip the werekraken... hmm...

( this is about the final fest. )
