some "new" designs for different crassus and pompey, specifically for a side project I've been playing with that's so removed from anything relevant (action/adventure/horror standalone story lmao) that they kind of needed their own thing. this story's pompey has a neck scar from an Incident™, crassus has shorter hair and wears (checks notes) jewelry sometimes.
#graves grime and gore tag#the default designs are still the ''''trikaranos''''' ones because it's nebulously like. eh. grounded enough in rome#this is the dmbj au but it's less dmbj and more like i put on every tomb robber movie on youku and went 'yeah okay'#while i was working. anyway. when i post from that story. i will make it clear that it is a separate contained story doing it's own thing#this version of crassus also more or less has black hair while my main crassus has brown hair#pompey is bottle blond no matter what universe he's in#god what else what else. it's set during their first joint consulship. crassus is more of an outright dick but it's because he's annoyed#that pompey is not getting with the program (you cannot become sulla during peace time!)#and this version of pompey is like a specific imposter syndrome anxiety has been cranked up to eleven and it's made him#overly competitive in stupid ways like the thing you think crassus is doing does not matter to him in the slightest#we gotta establish characterizations right off the bat and we're swinging big because i am NOT setting up anything prior to Events#like (snaps fingers) go explore the ruins consuls! get in the TOMB FELLAS. KEEP GOING GUYS

peds surgeon yuuta??? u cant say things like that i need to jump. the cartoons, the glasses, of course his freaky ass would have a thing for u calling him doctor okkotsu i need to die id wanna tease him sm and be all over him but i cant think of anything if its in a hospital how did the greys anatomy ppl made it work?
the grey’s doctors were FREAKS LMFAOO bc there is not space to be doing all that in the on call rooms…. honestly yuuta is probably too busy to even try anything with you in the hospital 90% of the time… he’s either in surgery or buried in the research library or falling asleep standing up 😭 sometimes you two pass each other in an empty stairwell and have time for a kiss or two, but never more than that (also because yuuta has very little self-restraint when it comes to you… if he allowed himself more than that, then it would be much harder to stop…)
sometimes the two of you will fall asleep in the same on call room. yuuta will page you there and by the time you arrive he’s already half asleep, it’s probably his only nap in the last 24 hours, so you do your best not to wake wake him when you cuddle up next to him. you get a few hours of bliss in his arms before his pager is waking the both of you up, and he’s got to scurry downstairs to the peds floor and in his hurry he doesn’t realize he’s snagged your lab coat instead of his own, and it’s only when he’s haphazardly slipped it on and the arms are too short and the shoulders are too tight that he figures it out. it’s too late by then, because gojo is the attending on this case which means he doesn’t miss anything, which means he’s the first to giggle and tease, poking at your name embroidered above the breast pocket, “oh? i didn’t know the two of you got married already! oh and you took her last name, how noble, yuuta!~”
#anonymous#there's technically two separate doctor aus in my head#one is a gojo-verse where he's not a doctor but reader/kento/yuuji/shoko are in that one little drabble i posted#but in this gojo's anatomy universe they all get to be doctors 🙂↕️#some specialities are up in the air but so far peds unit is yuuta (resident) and choso (attending) and they do Not mess around#so very calm and gentle and sweet w the kids but when it comes to the medicine to the surgery to the treatments theyre Mean#they dont play around they dont lack of empathy they wont have it#i think... i think we have to have gojo as a brain surgeon... unfortunately... i think we do......#yuuji is a trauma resident in the other au but i think i'd do the same for him here idk it just fits him 😔#megumi is like..... the radiologist/x-ray tech that gets 40 calls an hour bc everyone wants their scans read in 20 seconds#and hes like no its Not a tumor no i wont run it again and no i dont have time for this 😐#or megumi is actually the parademic who brings in to the ER and hes like well these r drunk college kids... best of luck!#or megumi physical therapist... with his physical therapy dogs.....#nobara ortho resident and shes Scary LMFAOO#old lady comes in for a hip replacement and nobara's got her playlist on full blast having the time of her life hacking away LMFAO#nanami in internal/emergency medicine and hes trying to have his five (5) minutes of peace#and ofc gojo pops up like gnat and hes like nanamin! can i put this patient on blood thiners! and there goes nanamis lunch#yuuta.ask#doctor au

One of my favorite aus—2000's! I imagine Finny probably skateboards and makes Gene try it at some point (and is naturally disappointed)

cant stop thinking about rabbit sneaking away and immersing herself in drag culture before she could transition,,, been thinking abt it all day this headcanon means so much 2 me
#at the same time though like the idea of her intentionally acting super masculine kinda#i think also fits her character quite well#and like the 'handsome bar' but they'd do at the start of on top of the universe in the early days reminds me of that#idkk#constantly Thinking about two completely opposite headcanons#and also a completely separate au where she was originally built a woman but was forced to look like a male for the wars bc sexism#god can you tell rabbit genderfeels means so much 2 me#all of these in my brain also very intentionally include supportive/in the know spine btw#because my siblings r Not Like That and so im projecting#peace and love#saymbles#spg#rabbit spg#vintage rabbit#<- feels relevant since im talking about her#steam powered giraffe#spg headcanons#steam powered giraffe headcanons

In defense of c!Sam and his rabbithole... he was kind of pre-programmed to fall into it?
See, a long time ago there was a king, Sam Prime, who was searching for immortality. And this king tried many ways, with science and with magic. One of his attempts was with Blade magic. He sought out the most powerful healing Blade in all the worlds. Eventually, the core crystal of the Blade named Dream fell into his hands.
...yeah Sam Prime basically had Dream's previous Driver killed so that he could get his hands on Dream. It's nothing to worry about! After all, it's not like Dream will remember
Unfortunately, resurrection is the realm of the gods and the Aegis Blades. And while Dream's healing magic was powerful enough to slow the aging of the King, it wasn't enough to completely stop it.
So the king came up with another plan. He had discovered cloning, and the previous experiments with Blade Resonance had shown him the boundaries of individual souls. Moving the soul was trickier, but not impossible. So, if his current body couldn't last forever, then he would make new bodies, and move to them when the current body wore out or was too injured. If he was hopping to a clone body of himself, it's not like it would be wrong.
Part of the reason why the king doesn't care so much about taking over the bodies of his clones is that he don't really register them as individual people? They're not a person in their own right, they're just a (lesser) copy of him.
Dream helped. Dream was the king's Blade and he always helped.
The king's friend, Philza, hated the plan. As the Aegis of the Goddess of Death, he though that cheating Death this way was wrong and damaging. And not just to the world--transferring to a new body may not hurt Sam or snap the Resonance, but it always left Dream sick and woozy for the next day.
This has to do with aether and how Resonance works, basically. The Resonance is tied to the soul, but the aether exchange works on a physical level. The clones are perfectly normal, regular Players--which means they don't have the correct aether saturation for a Driver. Dream always ends up feeling sick with symptoms like the Resonance did snap because of the sudden imbalance, and he also desires physical closeness and intimacy, such as hugs and cuddling, to try reassure himself that no matter what he's feeling, his Driver is still there.
Eventually, something goes wrong. Sam Prime transfers to a new body under poor circumstances and cannot immediately decant it. They were far from home, far from the castle when he died. Dream is killed before he can make his way back, and his core crystal taken off server. No one knows about the lab and the trapped Sam Prime except Philza--and as far as Philza is concerned, this situation is probably for the best.
~
Some of Sam Prime's "unborn" clone bodies escape, eventually. One was Sam Bucket. Another is the current Awesamdude. Neither of them really remember anything from Sam Prime, but as his clones they get some spillover things about how the expect the world to work. Like pre-installed biases.
And it didn't matter much for Sam Bucket, but unfortunately, the circumstances of the server are leading to a lot of them being expressed in Awesamdude.
Sam Prime was a king; his word was law. Awesamdude is the Warden of Pandora's Vault; he is the sole authority protecting the rest of the server from the Egg.
Dream was a Blade. He was Sam Prime's Blade. He belonged to the king, and the actions he took were Right and Just because Sam Prime was the king and his word was Law. It could have been any other Blade that was the strongest healing Blade, but Fate and Destiny made it Dream.
Dream is a Blade. Awesamdude didn't know. Now he does. Dream's actions were Wrong and Bad, but even then, he tried to be Good. He should be Awesamdude's Blade so that all his actions can be Good again. Dream was already Awesamdude's friend--clearly Fate has aligned to show that Dream and Awesamdude will be a good Blade-Driver pair.
~
So Sam is, unfortunately, already vulnerable to losing himself in the particular spiral that emerges within Pandora's Vault. The Egg isn't really helping matters either--even if it can't control Sam right now, it can still influence his thoughts to give them a patina of Evil God. Like, he'd be having the same thoughts without the Egg, but it's definitely adding a huge heap of condescension to all his actions and thoughts.
Like, instead of "Sam needs to keep the Egg confined to protect the server," it becomes "Sam needs to keep the Egg confined because the rest of the server is too weak and needs to be kept safe."
Quackity is still reaching out to him a little to help with Las Nevadas, but Sam isn't seeing anywhere near as much of him as canon!Sam saw of canon!Quackity, so there's less of an emotional connection.
And then c!Tommy and c!Tubbo reach out to Sam for help. After all, he promised that he'd help protect them. And Tommy just found Dream....
And Dream's new Driver isn't Sam is c!Niki.
#dsmp#dsmp au#c!sam#c!dream#DSMP Blade System AU#the differences between Sam Prime and Awesamdude#yes I'm having them as separate characters here#Dream absolutely does have a journal with all of Sam Prime's immortality experiment notes somewhere in his Ender Chest#it's very fortunate for Dream's current peace that Sam Prime is still frozen in a tube#surely that won't change anytime soon#in which the Egg continues to be The Worst#and Tommy has terrible timing as usual

A Separate Fight Club
or the asp fight club au no one asked for (major spoilers for both)
Instead of the tree jumping club, Finny decides to make a fight club 'to support the war effort' and make the boys better fighters and more confident.
Since he made the club with Gene, every meeting starts with them fighting, and then newbies can fight after.
They can't bruise the face, but the long sleeves and pants allow them to hurt any other part. Obviously fighting would get them expelled, so it must be hidden.
"So don't go! What the heck, it's just a club! Go and study!" Gene's having trouble making time for studying amid all the fights. He becomes convinced that Finny is using the fights as an excuse to take his anger out on him for trying to do well in school, while simultaneously ruining his performance. Finny tells him it's fine, but he doesn't listen. They go to fight, and he shatters his leg.
There's some excuse for what happened... I don't know what. Or how Finny wouldn't know
. It also happened on a night when no one else showed up, probably because they had tests the next day(Leper was supposed to finally fight that night) (fights are in the butt room maybe?)
Alternatively, whatever the excuse was turned out to be unimportant, because he actually killed Finny that night and had been hallucinating him every time after that. People felt so bad for him they didn't break it to him until Brinker (Marla?) Made the trial to convince him that Finny had died by his hand.
Because he's imagining Finny, his Finny is a lot more manipulative and (yandere?) Than before, made out of his guilt and desired friend.
Leper was outside the butt room that day trying to catch his snails (some bully had let them loose) and heard the noises, but didn't enter.
It ends with Brinker and Gene leaving school, and thinking about the war and Finny
#SPOILERS#Lots of gaps in the idea but I'm sure they could be filled in#fight club#a separate peace#crossover#fight club au#Asp#fc#Is Leper Robert Newman?#story ideas#fanfic ideas

hi, swordsman! Your book is amazing. Can I ask, will you ever write zolu smut for your merman luffy au too? I saw you wrote one for luzo and was wondering if you'll try the other team too.
omg!! thank you so much!! :D im glad you think so!!! it was very fun to make!!! <3 <3
if you mean the luzo smutfic thats attached to the footnotes of the merman/mafia au, i actually did not write that!!! that was a delightful gift from @faggotzoro inspired by the au :D <3
that being said, you are actually not the first person to ask if ill be continuing the merman/mafia au!! ive been considering it but havent really been sure how to go about it, since i have some ideas but nothing substantial to tie them together. maybe some post-epilogue smut would be fun, split up the same way i did "bone-breaker ospreys". thank you for the idea!! i will think on this 👀
#post-epilogue would probably be zolu for Character Reasons too tbh so it would work#admittedly i have mixed feelings about separating zolu vs. luzo into smth like teams simply because#peace and love on planet earth... hold my hand brother we both want them to fuck nasty#BUT i fully understand what you mean and tbh everyone has a preference. respect.#maybe im simply old enough to remember when top/bottom discourse was genuinely insane. looking back... times were simpler lol.#ANYWAY my point is 'bone-breaker ospreys' was technically luzo so its probably time i added actual zolu to my challenge list anyway >:3c#whether its this au or something else bc admittedly ive already been Thinking ZoLu Thoughts.#who am i to deny a fellow monster enjoyer 🤝#answers

Noctifer is becoming my new favorite character in this au. He seems like they won't just go for the throat, he'll go for ankles to knock you down and then go for the throat.
Unfortunately for him, once IK starts getting close to the brothers, she'd probably want him to be at least a little polite to them, and he would end up having to do it even if he doesn't want to.
noctifer is rapidly becoming so very dear to me as well... side note but what kind of fur pattern would he have? i'm imagining a tuxedo to match lucifer's insistence on wearing a suit everywhere
when ik first starts bonding with the others, noctifer's like "i hate this. i hate this so much. stop it" because NO YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM!! his whole logic for the first few months is "i don't care about anything but my human best friend and i'm going to fucking kill you if you do anything to her. i hate you all so much"
eventually ik does convince him to thaw out, so there'll come a point where the disparaging remarks peter out and he'll be reasonably friendly with mostly everyone - i see him getting along with diavolo, satan and beel in particular - it's literally just lucifer he can't stand
the only thing that makes them treat each other with any respect is their mutual dislike of seeing ik sad, so as soon as she pulls out the "you're both my best friends and i want you to get along :(" they will begrudgingly be nice to each other, but they're like this the whole time
#answering asks#anon asks#jtta aus#monster hunter ik#even once they've sort of made peace they both get SO offended if you point out how similar their personalities are#also if you leave them alone in a room together without anyone to act as a buffer they WILL start fighting#lucifer is mostly able to restrain himself even with satan and/or belphie's goading but something about noctifer makes him SO petty#both of them always have to have the last word when it comes to each other so you have to physically separate them to make them stop

can we talk about how wrong the finish line ending is. can we talk about how barry sees snapping thawne's neck as their point of no return when thawne directly expressed hope barry can still live up to his idealised expectations several times and even spoke of how exactly he can achieve that. can we talk about how barry while having the best intentions fucks with thawne's speed and timeline resetting him to a humble curator with no powers and makes their situation a THOUSAND times worse when thawne comes back as reverse-flash because that reset is a direct and ultimate confirmation of barry's desire to forget thawne and make it like he never existed (the very thing that motivates thawne to mess with barry at all, the very thing he went insane about and which led him to becoming reverse-flash) and how thats similar to creation of the flashpoint which was done with good intentions and changed the world forever even after being undone. can we talk about how it also resembles lobotomy as in permanently fucking up persons brain and its necessary functions to make them more calm and controllable in their mental illness instead of actually helping them which takes a lot more time thought and effort and how that was a quick and seemingly effective but inherently destructive solution. can we talk about how barry by taking away eobard's powers also takes his freedom from societal expectations and standards of his time he clearly didnt fit in and 25th century in general. can we talk about how barry also took the only good memories thawne ever had aka their moments together and especially their first meeting which thawne saw as perfect and held very dearly just like any other interaction with barry including the reverse era ones. can we talk about how fucking intrusive, invalidating and selfish is the whole concept of erasing any kind of memories from another persons brain, no matter how hurtful or bad or self-sabotaging those can be especially involuntarily and how only the said person should have control over that because that is their damn life. can we talk about what such betrayal will do to a man who previously became the reverse-flash just because of one single phrase that he thought was something special only between him and barry. can we talk about how this time thawne paradoxically didnt even do anything to deserve that because he never met barry and never had such possibility in the first place. can we t
#reverse flash#eobard thawne#professor zoom#the flash#barry allen#eobarry ig?#listen i dont blame barry for that. thawne tortured him beyond any comprehension and the reset is understandable#that was one of the kindest solutions he could come up with considering the countless trauma thawne caused him. i get it. i see the effort.#but 1) im talking from thawne and his mental fucking issues perspective (and also my own bc he just like me fr)#like considering those HUGE ASS abandonment issues this is objectively the worst thing barry could ever do to him#2) also understandable but i cant believe barry (AND josh williamson.) didnt think ANY further than how Noble and Forgiving the reset is#he KNOWS thawne always comes back no matter what and yet he cannot make the logical conclusion that this will only hurt eo EVEN MORE#like my dude i get youre not on the best terms with timelines and changes to them but what youve done here is the ACTUAL point of no return#also i firmly believe that the 'peaceful' curator life is a fate worse than every death thawne ever experienced combined#there is so much potential in post!fl continuation where nothing in his life feels right and he can see the reverse era in his nightmares#i will make a separate post about it someday because i have So many thoughts on that that its a whole au at this point

Realizing that Cloudy Days AU Venti and Clear Skies AU Venti were both artificial humans made as a reflection of Istaroth (the former from a piece of her soul and the latter being a copy of her consciousness) meant to record events and withstand the test of time
Except the difference between them is that Clear Skies Venti was allowed the freedom to become his own existence while Cloudy Days Istaroth never lets Venti go
Also like. They both have an absurd amount of weapons, so there's that
#gathering of cloudy days au#clear skies au#also like in regards to the Bard Cloudy Days Venti is at peace with losing him#but in the Clear Skies AU? Yeah I feel like both Venti and the Bard would spontaneously die if separated for too long#I have no idea how the heck they developed separation anxiety the au is no longer in my hands
