Naruto redesigns be upon ye

The main point of divergence from the canon timeline is Naruto meets Kurama a few years early (and also Zabuza and Haku live bc i love them <33). This happens because he decided to go foraging for more food and ate a poisonous plant (think deadly nightshade), causing his Kurama's chakra to kick in and heal the effects of the poison and send Naruto to the sealscape. Kurama decides to be nice(r) to Naruto because he's not dumb enough to blame a literal child for something that happened to him as an infant, though he's not exactly friendly until Naruto thinks to ask Kurama's name about a year down the line, on Naruto's 10th birthday.

I've been super into my Naruto au recently. The current name for the AU is Punk Tactics because Naruto's (and eventually all of his friends) a full-on punk who actually wants to change things for the better rather than slather the status quo in orange paint.

—

Because Naruto's got a millenium old genius monster giving him life advice and bullying him into self-sufficiency for a best friend, he's not really the dead last in class, but he's absolutely awful at tests so he still has the worst academic grades.

—

A lot of Naruto redesigns take away the orange completely for stealth, but I decided to keep it because orange is such an integral part of his character (bright orange is happy, warm, demands attention, and is very distracting, all stuff Naruto needs in his day-to-day life), and also the kid who stole the scroll of seals and almost got away with it doesn't need advice on being stealthy lol. He also wears dark coloured clothing under the highlighter jumpsuits in case he *does* need to be ultra stealthy, as well as for extra protection.

For younger Naruto, I used bright but more pastel-y colours because he's more innocent and hasn't really become Naruto yet, but after meeting Kurama and growing up a bit he's embraced the obnoxious side of himself and has begun wearing it like armour against the world. He's also a thief in this au, and his pranks are both a way to get revenge on the village for mistreating him and taking attention away from the real mischief he get into (this also provides the experience he needs to eventually steal the scroll of seals). As he grows older, he wears both brighter and darker colours to signify embracing himself more as well his growing maturity, while also being an homage to his jinchuriki transformations.

Also, he makes the highlighter jumpsuits directly after the Wave Mission, where his eyes were opened to injustice that didn't affect him personally, and he goes from wanting to be Hokage so people aren't mean to him to wanting to be Hokage to change the world for the better for everyone, so the black also represents how much more seriously he takes things now and the orange represents his bright hopes for the future. The black is also, one some level, a way to mourn his loss of innocence after everything he's gone through and the childhood he never really got to have. (Can you tell I love nuance, layers and symbolism in stories)

—

For the jinchuriki transformations I went hard into the eldritch cryptid type aesthetic while adding some symbolism. Hinata thinks of Naruto as the sun and herself as a sunflower always facing towards him and trying to emulate him (her name is written in hiragana but kanji readings of Hinata generally translate to something sun related), and Naruto's base appearance while using mass amounts of bijuu chakra looks like various cosmic events related to stars like an eclipse or a black hole. The eyes are inspired directly from Naruto's canon four tails transformation and Alternates from The Mandela Catelogue. It's also kind of representing Naruto's status as the black sheep of Konoha as he's entirely black aside from the eyes, and the oxymoronic nature of his existence - a glowing shadow, a genius village idiot, Konoha's greatest asset and pariah, a little kid with more life experience than most adults. Also it looks cool

The Highlighter Jumpsuits he wears after Wave are handmade and specially designed to take on Kurama's chakra without degrading like normal clothes would - this allows his clothes to become part of the shadowy body when he transforms.

I decided to make Naruto use a bo staff as one of his main weapons for a few reasons: sticks are the easiest weapon to find for a guy who spends most of his time in a forest, the idea of professionally bonking people with a stick is funny, and I love the stick and rope metaphor from Death Stranding. He can also just tie a kunai to it if he needs a spear

As for why Naruto doesnt have a utility belt or any kunai pouches: he adds a bunch of extra pockets and straps to hold things to any clothing he can and uses storage seals to hold everything. Some pockets are just hidden storage seals to hold things that would be awkward to fit into a pocket.

[mewhenthhe]

who are your other ocs?

HAHAHAHA. thank you. this is what i wanted

i actually have two other oc universes!1 for sunflowers and scales i have an actual storyline (1/3 of which is written!!) but for the other two it’s more jsut vibes and kinda-messed-up slice of life. i have a weird thing abt came-back wrong ocs i think those are fun.

the soul stealers:

context: this story exists in a world where everything is the same except souls are very explicitly real and only like one girl is privy to that

esteri, left: high school student. trans girl. she can also see people’s souls and put them into stuffed animals. and just manipulate them in general, but only a bit as it’s draining to her own soul. severe anxiety issues and also undead-guy-assisted-academic-dishonesty are very her-core. the soul stuffed animal things can only see if the buttons match the eye colors which isn’t that relevant but i think it’s interesting.

cy, middle: the Normal Guy in this scenario. esteri’s neighbor and childhood friend. very obsessed with stripes for no real reason. basically blind without their glasses.

ajax, right: so he’s the fun one. he was jsut a high school student who esteri didn’t really know. however one day walking home he got hit by a truck and just straight up died. i’m a moment of panic, esteri put his soul in a stuffed animal, trying to save him in the only way she knew how to. he was not happy about being put in plush purgatory originally but eventually they get to know/like each other more. also ajax gets a much larger plush body pictured here. eventually they go to college and AJ basically becomes campus cryptid lmaoaoa he’s pretty chill. my only (?) fully cishet oc and he’s trapped in the body of a cat plushie

ipad kids/tech bros:

this one’s much less fleshed out. imagine this universe but weird rich people start cybernetically enhancing their kids as a show of power and wealth. when an injury is sustained, it becomes chic to not cure that injury but instead to replace the injured body part mechanically.

we’ll go right to left this time:

nico: a young adult whose parents are both deceased (his mom when he was young, his father recently). inherited the family mechanic business and moved up to a somewhat secluded place in the mountains with his adopted younger sister

avery: very hyper 13yo and coding master. she also goes outside and touches grass which is wild. loves to layer her clothes and is obssessed with the colors purple and green. can’t cook for the life of her. has zero idea when she’ll get her braces off but it seems like forever ago that she got them

and finally mercy: a rich kid who was basically dumped in the woods after his facial-replacement-screen-thing went wrong. kinda brainwashed into being very okay with the idea of replacing his body parts/appearance due to social conditioning and some built self-hatred around his face. after he’s dumped, he’s taken in by avery and nico (who fixes his screen face thing up a bit). he goes into a bit of a spiral about loss of identity and also straight up can’t talk anymore. brother has a text box. little meow meow (kind of an asshole but he’s working on it).

Making out with Sirenhead

part 1 of In love with Sirenhead

Cw: monstersmut

As goth girl some sense of wanting to be kinky was excepted! But what I did not know was that I had dreams of making out with Sirenhead and making love to him…..spicy! Yes as I was not really into men/ woman for the simple fact that I lived in my head! As I was always daydreaming and maladaptive day dreaming! But real like being in my head with monster smut books and sometimes art work! But really I was a fan of Sirenhead head! Since I was 14! There was something about his sirens and his younger that got me going! But then as soon as I was 18 the sexual desires were starting up. But it was not with men/woman but fantasy creatures, monsters and Cryptids! What I did not except was that I would have dreams and fantasies of Sirenhead!

Basically I wanted to kiss him as he kissed me deeply! But what I did not except was the idea that I was spreading eerie siren sounds coming from the back yard! A place I loved as a kid! Never really went back into it but to stargazing! But that was rare! I went to the back yard, trying not to disturb my roommates and investigate what was going on! I thought it was a first response team going to some accident! But I was fumbling in the semi dark of the motion detector lights! Then I bumbled into something that I did not believe I would believe……Sirenhead!

I was wanting to know why he was here! But then I thought that I must be dreaming again! I pinched my self and started to see him again! I started wanting to feel him just to see if my senses were lying to me!

That was when I felt his skin and then out of the wierdest romantic fantasy he came and kissed me. Actually kissed me! But that was not enough I wanted to make out with him! As I fumble over him and felt his length! I asked if I could kiss him again! He nodded with both sirens! Soon he too my face cuppped it with his hands and plunged his long younger into my mouth! I sat on him, feeling his hard length and I wanted to ride it!

“Can I make love to you!” I asked softly!

“Yes!” He said.

Soon the make out session was turning into a love making session in the back yard! As I was wanting to straddle him under the stars he started thrusting into me as I stripped my black pj’s off! He run his gangly fingers through my short blue! And the lovemaking was intense!

“Oh Sirenhead…..” I moaned. And as he started to spill his juices into me I wondered what was going on! I never was c*mimed on or in! Soon I was spilling my juices and started to first moan then scream in such pleasure that I had to break this kiss! He held my head to his mouth and started tounging my mouth yet again! “Let’s bet together!”

He just was kissing me as I was still riding him! “I will think about it! What is your name?”

“Lisa,” I said. “Lisa raven!”

“I like the name!”

We continued our Twrist as we continued to kiss me deeply! But then I was full of his essence that I wanted to keep coming back for more! That was when he asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend! I was pumping on his length with enthusiasm and so I was screaming and nearly blacking out from pleasure!

“Yes,”. I moaned! “I would!”

After that I found out that I had a monster boyfriend! And that it was not just a kink anymore! I wanted to be with him in more ways than one!

thinking about how the vampire medieval knight AU spawned in my head with this very edgy gothic vision of a cryptid knight dragging their sword through the woods, blood all over their armor and an animal glint in their eyes as they get close enough you notice there's blood all over their face, and mouth and sharp teeth and by then it's too late to run--

meanwhile when i actually end up drawing the vampire knight in question:

wet dog. kicked puppy. sad stray cat. call them pope with how much theyre innocence

-- not to say i wont come back to that first image some day and actually paint it because its really tasty but lmao. vampire Wolf somehow ended up so pathetically baby-- i think its partially because of how much younger they are than their canon self, how different their life has been. they're experienced in ways of life and battle but not with losing bodily autonomy like this and it just guts them, being turned into an animal dependant on feeding and nothing else, its pathetic and disgusting u_u

[snootlestheangel]

oh ness has my whole heart, i absolutely love the cryptid vibes (and the heterochromia!! i actually have a shadow oc with with heterochromia as well- his name is mismatch- but anyways im getting off topic)

how do your guys get along with graves? i imagine they each have a different sort of relationship with him and im curious

*happy flaps cause I'm now only thinking of my boys*

Also sorry this took so long anon life is getting hectic again

Woody and Graves is easiest: they're good friends, even if tensions get a bit high between them. Woody was there not long after Shadow Company was formed, and he was there before Las Almas. Obviously, everything that happened with it changed a lot relationships between Shadows and between Graves and the Shadows. Woody is no different. While Woody used to be more of a "you're my boss" type of person towards Graves, he's much more of a friend. Graves doesn't want to lose anymore Shadows, and Woody was one of the easier ones to get close with. Graves is definitely Woody's kids' favorite uncle.

Truck and Graves are more like teammates. Truck's around his age, and he's been military for so long, that he really can't interact with Graves without having the thought of "This is my boss". Truck will still definitely be friendly with Graves, but he's a naturally closed off person, so his version of friendly is not yelling at Graves every time he comes near his shop. They don't really interact outside of the necessary things, but Truck is still a fiercely loyal Shadow.

Flash and Graves are like older cousin/younger cousin to me with a dash of mentor. But in the way of Graves is the really cool older cousin that is constantly inviting the younger one out for cool things. Graves doesn't necessarily have a "fatherly" bond with Flash, and it might be due to the fact he is Flash's boss, after all. Graves may seem really mean towards Flash, but for Flash he sees it as "brotherly bonding". He's an only child, yes, but he's heard all the stories people tell about things their siblings due to them as a form of bonding. So he just believes Graves is doing the same. He 100% looks up to Graves, and this is something Graves secretly both loves and hates. He admires that Flash sees him as accomplished/cool enough to serve as his mentor, but Graves also is so reminded of his many failures and really doesn't want to disappoint Flash/lead him astray.

Ness and Graves is definitely the funniest relationship, simply because Ness is committed to the bit. Much like with Truck, Ness and Graves don't really interact much outside of Shadow stuff: so basically they spend no time together on leave and don't willingly go to like bars and shit together. However, Ness is Graves's self-appointed assistant cause he (as having been the one to raise his siblings) is personally offended by the messy state of Graves's office. He's got such a motherly personality but it comes off as "you fucking dumbass" when he's angrily cleaning up Graves's office. It's not uncommon to see Graves working while Ness is organizing his office. Graves also a hundred percent gets so worried about Ness when he's spending a lot of time in the pools. Ness will randomly decide to train in full diving gear (he always has someone be present to assist should something go wrong), and he's almost always swimming in his full wetsuit. And since he's known to swim at night a lot, Graves gets worried something's gonna happen so he ends up sitting on the side of the pool watching. He'll sometimes time Ness's laps for training purposes, but usually he's just acting lifeguard.

[crambonn]

I'm working on some concept art for my Pre-Mother 3 theory right now and I'm getting a little bored, so here's some mother 3 headcanons.

(Spoiler warning!) (Also major Duster favoritism)

Lucas

Terrible at socializing, but still loved for being able to listen.

Unintentionally sneaky. That one kid who's always lurking around.

Smells like cinnamon toast crunch.

Sees Claus in Kumatora.

Something about Duster reminds him of Hinawa. Gets very sentimental whenever he hugs him.

Swears very, very rarely. Someone or something is in a massive amount of danger when he does.

People mistake him for being emotionless when in reality he bottles everything up. When he does finally open the bottle he becomes a massive mess. (Note: Self projection (●'◡'●))

Cleans to distract himself.

Once recieved a comic book from a tourist. Was fascinated by it for a short while but threw it away the same day he got it.

Much stronger than he looks. Taking care of sheep has strengthened him significantly.

Has conflicted feelings about his dad.

Worries if he too will start to bald when he gets older.

Kumatora

I feel like if she was real she'd be into gyaru fashion.

Enjoys doing excessive makeup as a hobby but would only wear eyeliner at max regularly.

Absolutely despised her time working at Club Titiboo but became close friends with the other waitresses. Had considered using her paychecks for a phone to communicate with them once she left.

Got the color of her hair from all the years of PSI training with Ionia. Originally brown-haired.

Was a massive scaredy-cat through the ages of 6 to 9.

Incredible mealtime etiquette. (Ionia's doing)

Her blue pendant originally belonged to her biological parents.

A preteen Duster rescued her from a collapsed building as an infant pre-white ship.

Sprays Duster with perfume to wake him up.

Has dabbled in playing the electric guitar. Gets lessons from Magic in exchange for PSI lightshows.

Sees Duster as an older brother figure. Bullies him relentlessly.

Sees Lucas as a younger brother figure. Dotes on him relentlessly.

Studies other PSI users to improve her own PSI.

Has read every book in Osohe.

Duster

Was surprisingly hot-headed as a kid. Mellowed out as he aged.

Used to have longer hair as a kid but cut most of it off as it interfered with training. Has thought about regrowing it.

His receding hairline is due to stress. After he joined DCMC it started to (slowly) grow back (With the help of some borrowed hair products).

Is clairvoyant in a non-PSI way. Gave Lucas the mini-mini charm before he embarked for Osohe as he knew the kid would be lonely from then on.

Is in a hidden poly relationship with the rest of the band.

Takes care of his afro wig better than he does his actual hair.

He actually wrote lyrics for many of DCMC's songs. A majority of them went unused.

Thinks of Lucas as his legacy and as such never plans on having kids.

Was the one who named Kumatora. Because he was a preteen at the time, he gave her the wildest name he could think of.

Gets frequent nightmares of his pre-white ship days, but completely forgets about them the moment he wakes up.

Is covered head-to-toe in scars and calluses.

Is deemed the most attractive out of the DCMC members. He's heavily against having the title.

Gets incredibly dangerous when drunk (Yor Forger-style drunkard).

Ate ants once because he was tricked into thinking they tasted like cherries.

Was absolutely feral as a teenager. People would only come across him if they were out foraging in the forest.

Many children label him as a Tazmily cryptid. Multiple supernatural rumours about him exist.

Boney

Imagines itself as the twins' third sibling instead of a pet.

Missed Flint the most out of everyone.

A very good dog.

On another note, you are completely welcome to call me crazy but I think Splatoon is a potential continuation of the Mother series timeline. I'll probably write a ridiculously long theory on this later but for now I'll leave it at that.

[ofoceansandtombsanew]

oooh got tagged by @hash-slinging-slasher-trash

tag game: 20 questions, fic writing edition

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

31 on my main

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

On my main AO3, 257,414

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Anything I'm interested in can get these hands. Naruto, Fruits Basket, Free!, Haikyuu, JJK, CSM, Genshin Impact, OLBA/OLNF, FMA, SNK, BNHA. I've written for a lot of fandoms. I remember even trying to dabble in writing fic for Ojamajo Doremi because I was obsessed with shipping them with the Flat 4. Honestly, I might write something for that just to indulge Kid Nyla who never got to write any lmao. Same for PPGZ

My main tumblr is called themultifandomnerd for a reason fjdnfkj

4. Top five fics by kudos

I'll do a mix of fics from my main AO3 (my oldest account, I think I started writing fic for Free! on it in high school) and my tumblr fics AO3

The Different Rules of Summer (VLD - Lance/Keith)

‘Okay so you think ghosts are fake but totally think that bigfoot and mothman are real?’ Lance scribbled furiously on the piece of paper in total disbelief. ‘Ghosts are total BS, man’ Keith look disinterested. ‘This is why you’re single' Lance didn’t expect that his summer vacation would be spent at a library arguing with his deaf co-worker about why cryptids totally aren’t real. Keith volunteers at a library to keep himself out of trouble while his brother works. The worst part of his day? Explaining to some moron why Mothman is definitely a real entity and why the first moon landing was fake. Funny enough, this is the highlight of both of their summers.

Se réjouir, se réjouir (Genshin Impact - NeuviFuri)

The sun; Neuvillette is the sun. And Furina? She’s not fit to even be the moon. There is a surprising loneliness to freedom.

A Little Pain (Naruto - Sakura Haruno/Hinata Hyuga)

At the age of 7, there were a few things Hinata Hyuga was sure of. One, her father, Hiashi Hyuga, was the strongest shinobi she knew. Second, just the thought of her having to one day make decisions for her entire clan terrified her beyond belief. Third, her younger sister Hanabi, at the age of 2, was very easy to impress. Hinata Hyuga never wanted to lead her Clan and when she is stripped of her title and essentially an outcast in her home, she finds solace in the brief comforts of a pink-haired girl named Sakura. Though little did Hinata know that losing her heiress title would send her life spiraling down a path of self discovery, bravery, and the realization that changing yourself is a possibility is the most powerful jutsu of all. But... perhaps stopping yourself from fainting whenever you happen to be around your crush is a start. And convincing the entirety of Konoha that it's first all-kunoichi team won't be a complete and total failure should be prioritized before any of that.

Man is the Breast, Heaven is the Playground (CSM - Makima/Reader)

You might be the only one in your division not utterly smitten with your partner, Makima. Call it disinterest, call it being observant that her smiles never reach her eyes. Either way, you have no interest in bridging the gap between you both. But one day, an attempt is made, and it isn’t by you.

A Blazing Star Sought Refuge in My Chest (CSM - Makima/Reader, sequel to Man is the Breast, Heaven is the Playground)

Your contract was simpleー the Control Devil would not use her powers on you, you just needed to stay with her forever.

5. Do you respond to comments?

That I do!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I think maybe the ending for my oneshot I Cherish You, Halcyon Days which I'm actually turning into a full-length fic now (and it will have the same ending). But fate of the Reader is written out quite clearly: you will be killed by someone precious to you.

On my main AO3, maybe my TOH series where Halloween Night went wrong and the portal closed after Belos entered and the Hexsquad has to make happiness where they can on Earth may be a close second?

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think most of my fics end on a pleasant note save for a handful.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I was gonna say "no" but yeah, some butthurt NaruHina fans that were commenting on my SakuHina fics for no reason? Like, go read about NH instead of looking at what I'm typing up smh, damn time wasters. It isn't often though, most of the time I only hear positives

9. Do you write smut?

Occasionally I dabble in smut

10. Craziest crossover?

A Haikyuu/Boku Dake ga Inai Machi Xover that still occasionally gets comments despite only one chapter being out. I've been thinking about rewriting ch1 and finishing it because honestly it was a crazy good idea in my biased opinion.

Presently I'm working on a JJK/The Summer Hikaru Died Xover but considering what happened to Suguru, I'm not sure if that's truly that crazy.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of, hopefully that's a good sign.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

A long time ago in the HQ fandom, although it was never completed. I've thought about rewriting it with better quality and with some more passion but considering a lot of the plot was made by chatting with my at-the-time-friend well, I don't wanna take full credit for the half that wasn't my contributions. I still think about it from time to time though and think about the what could have beens *sigh*

14. All time favorite ship?

... that's gonna be a very very VERY hard choice. I have a top handful of ships because they all have specific aspects of them that I like, I'm not sure if I'll be able to

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The Haikyuu/BDGIM Xover OTL

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm fairly good at descriptions? I also do REALLY good research. For an FMA fic I wrote/am still slowly writing, my OC became an automail engineer so I did a lot of research concerning biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, prostheses, metal processing, alloys and so on and so forth in order to accurately choose the type of metals involved in whatever automail the OC and Winry were crafting.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Procrastination lmao. I try to absolve this by writing non-linear at times

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I only do that for languages I'm proficient in like Spanish, Portuguese, etc. But I've never written a fic entirely in any of the languages I know. Maybe one day I'll embrace that challenge! Japanese would be the most challenging though honestly

19. First fandom you wrote in?

Naruto or Fullmetal Alchemist when I was in middle school, but I can't remember which.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

That's gonna be impossible to narrow down, but I'll do my best

Main AO3: No idea jnkjfnd

FFN: A Fangirl's Dream

Tumblr Fic: My Makima duology I listed above

And that's all she wrote for this one! I'll be tagging @cafedanslanuit @ainescribe @sweet-evie

[water-mellie-seeds]

Lake I’ve become so rejection sensitive dysphoria-ly upset by something so trivial tell me about your fos

I TRULY understand this one RSD is a cruel mistress for Real

OH BOY at risk of talking about serizawa AGAIN and at risk of talking about upwards of 50 f/os lets talk about our f/o fight finalists!

Approaching this as if the people reading Do Not Know all of these characters,just in case some people in fact do not know anything about them

Luigi! He's definitely the f/o I've known and loved the longest! The year of luigi was catered to me specifically/j I just think his evolution as a character is SO interesting,especially in the M&L series. He is just such a genuinely good guy,he's sweet and even competitive (moreso in the party/kart/sports games) and I would legitimately do anything for him. I feel this way about a lot of my f/os but i genuinely wish i could just tell him how important he is BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO MEAN TO HIM SO MUCH(i know its for the bit but cmon!) oh yeah mario and that other guy type thing YOU LNOW HIS NAME >:(

Kumatora. I could literally talk at length about her but ultimately id just go in circles. Her recklessness when she was younger reminds me of mine. She's a badass,and she's sassy and headstrong and super powerful and yet so chill. She's also just. A good person. I know that if shit got real she would protect me,and even though i am absolutely all talk when it comes to my ability to kick ass,id do my best to protect her too. Also she has PSI so i mean. Kind of a pattern with me,huh?

Dr. Jan. I've always loved people who work in museums or amusement parks and the like. I love to see people who actually...like their jobs. Who make it their own and have fun with it! So..it's only natural id end up liking her. She's an enthusiast of all things ancient and an avid cryptid nerd. I LOVE her enthusiasm. I LOVE her vibe she is also very pretty.

Shuichi. I'm gonna be so honest i do not much like Danganronpa V3 as a game. I love the characters in it,though. but he's a really good protagonist and he just feels...very organic. His struggles with self worth and confidence really resonate with me and i love how he slowly starts to open up and really get into it during cases/trials! I'm also a voice guy and. I really like his voice very much i sometimes listen to like. Shuichi saihara voice files compilations on YouTube it scratches my brain.

Monika. Look. Again I'm a voice guy. Also,i stayed with her for every. Single. Topic she could bring up. Multiple times over. I am down fucking bad. I tried to start a literature club because of her in my own school. I started writing poems again because of her. She told me to put her file on a usb and carry it with me always and i did. I bought a lil white ribbon and tied it on there and then i put the usb on a neckace made of frayed computer wire and i BROUGHT HER EVERYWHERE I WENT. I am in love with her. She is. The true concept of an f/o. And she loves us back,that's the part that gets me.

Queen. Yeah i like silly women i like robots. No one is surprised. She is so cool i want to drink battery acid with her. Ill become a peon i dont even carw

CAPT. SPACEBOY. I haven't ever really been able to pinpoint why EXACTLY im so into him,but i am. I could treat him so so well. I couldn't fit him absolutely not but we could be worse together <3 he sings,he travels through space he's a pirate and also super nice and hospitable. We both got funky mental illnesses going on also hes just hot. Like objectively.

Jessie and James. Package deal. Im glad tumblr seems to appreciate them as much as i do. Theyre both SUCH well written characters. I have known them forever. When i saw them crossdressing as a kid it blew my mind. PEOPLE CAN DO THAT???? Indigo league in general is so so good,but jessie and james really steal the show. They have such interesting and compelling backstories and they are poor just like me fr.(well ok team rocket is. James' family doesnt count i would have also left) we could go on a date to the clearance section in the supermarket./hj i just love them very much ALSO THEY SHOULDNT HAVE TAKEN AWAY JAMES' FAKE BOOBIES! NOT FAIR! I would never do that to him.

Thank you for listening if you guys ever wanna pick an f/o on the list for me to go off about i will do it. For you all

[whump-in-the-closet]

2 and 33 for the snippets ask game?

2. Captured/ Caged/ Locked

33. Protector/ Sacrifice

I used my OCs from Raising Chaos, hope you don't mind-- this is part of Chiar's backstory, because I couldn't resist. I had to do it. Apologies except I'm not actually sorry >:)

masterlist.

cw: death of a younger character, self-sacrifice, jammed shoulder, minor whump (Chiar is seventeen, Syl is nineteen)

The door was locked.

Chiar watched, hands twitching, as Syl kicked at the frame.

And then again. And again. The steel door stubbornly refused to give in to the desperate pounding.

The blows became frantic as the sounds of boots and voices carried up the stairwell.

Chiar and Syl shared a look of pure, unfiltered panic.

They didn’t stand a chance.

They were in a grave, hundreds of feet in the air. A trap. Their escape had been pointless. They were going to be killed and none would be the wiser.

Energy surged under Chiar’s skin, the buzzing filling his head. “Let me try.”

Syl nodded once and stepped back, his blue eyes dark.

The voices became louder.

Chiar rammed his shoulder into the steel door. And heard a soft snap for his troubles. His vision went black.

"You idiot!" cried Syl, hauling Chiar to his feet. The younger cryptid clutched at his shoulder, breath coming in sharp hisses. He ignored Syl.

"Idiot," said Syl again, less harshly.

The voices became clear. They couldn't have been more than a level below them.

Syl cursed. He pulled Chiar into a corner of the room, lowering him to the floor. It was partly veiled by a pile of discarded boxes. A pathetic hiding place, really, but it would have to do.

Syl tugged off his jacket, handing it to Chiar. He crouched besides Chiar, whispering that if he dared to move, he, Syl Westerling, cryptid and terror of Fain, would kill him himself.

"Don't lose that jacket. It's my favorite."

"Syl?" Chiar didn't understand what was going on. He struggled to stand, but Syl roughly shoved him back to the floor.

"Do. Not. Move. Promise me. Now!"

Chiar didn't get a chance to tell Syl that he would do no such thing. Because Syl darted into the open center of the room before he could answer, just as Fain's men entered, flooding the stairwell.

They did not look happy.

It's funny, Chiar thought later, how quickly things happen. One moment, Syl had been insultingly alive, telling Fain that Chiar was dead and asking Fain if he'd do the world a favor and jump off a cliff, and the next...

And the next...

Chiar didn't like to think about happened next.

There had been blinding energy as Syl attacked. And far, far too many guards.

It had not been much of a fight.

Chiar clutched Syl's jacket.

Coward.

He had been scared to die.

HELP LMAO YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS i genuinely do still want to finish all of my ongoing fics it's just my life keeps changing too fast for me to keep up and find a new rhythm. I started writing fics for ml when I was in high school, it was so easy to constantly write, not to mention having less self-criticism when I was younger. In the last year and a half I graduated university, got my first job, started learning 3D animation, started being active on Youtube and will soon be trying to be consistently active, sprained my knee, and attempted (and failed) to move out. So a lot of firsts. Enough of that though, I'm now getting used to everything and my work hours changed in a way that may be able to get back to writing. I didn't say all of this because I felt I owed an explanation but instead because I actually relate, I'm constantly thinking your concerns to myself and getting frustrated. So just know that I don't forget about the works and my plans for them stick in my head. Treat me like those cryptid musicians who drop an album and then go mia for a bit and then surprise you with another album. I can't promise consistency yet, but I'm not indefinitely empty-handed either.

Hi, @beautyinflight I was your @mlsecretsanta !! So sorry this is late, I hope the wait was worth it and that you enjoy this fic, this is part one of two ^^ I’ll be sure to add a little something extra with the second chapter. I tried adding as many tropes as I could from your list! Summary: An Akuma swaps not only Ladybug and Chat Noir’s miraculous but even their clothes, leaving them in more of a mess than they were ready for.  Chapters: 1/2  Words:  2939 Lady Noire ducked into an alleyway and detransformed. The flashes of green light barely stood out in the orange glow of sunset.

 “Alright, Plagg, I’ll have to get you back to Chat Noir tomorrow, unfortunately. It’s getting dark out and there’s no sign of the akuma.” 

It had been agreed upon that Tikki and Plagg wouldn’t travel with the Miraculous in hand and that Lady Noire and Mister Bug wouldn’t try making the exchange in the sewers either for their safety. The akuma could be anywhere and could be wearing anything. Stealth was by far the most dangerous weapon. 

Plagg shrugged. “Fine by me, as long as you have cheese at home.” 

Marinette reached for her purse, “I should have some but don’t raid me too much, ok? I’m a college student, you know.” 

She patted her hip and was met with the belt loop of loose-fitting jeans and the waistband of her underwear slipping out. “Huh?!” Marinette looked down at herself, “these aren’t my pants! These aren’t my clothes!”

 “Oh, those must be–” Plagg’s mouth spewed bubbles before he could say the name. He stared at Marinette. She looked up at him. “Are these…” Marinette patted the baggy t-shirt and cream jacket she wore, “Do these clothes belong to Chat Noir?!”

champions herc was fun bc it came during a time when he didn’t really seem sure where he was supposed to be in this new age of heroism   &   it was therefore very easy for natasha to convince him to join by simply   . . .   joining herself since he was a bit head-over-heels for her at the time,   but then he just.   committed wholeheartedly.   while a champion he was a champion   &   fought just as hard with his team as his ever did outside of one

Statute of Limitations by Oka_Hills1232

Captain Marvel has been in the game for a decade now. He's very likeable, everyone agrees on this, but that's about the only thing anyone can say about him. For however friendly he seems, he's never really talked about his life outside of the cape. That is, until today.

The Justice League has just learned something rather alarming about their enigmatic colleague Captain Marvel. They really need to talk to him about it, the problem is, he's very hard to get ahold of… Billy's just here to enjoy himself and revel in the big reveal, after all, it's not like anyone can stop him now.

Subversion by feelslikefire

Shen Qingqiu encounters Luo Binghe two years early in a brothel in Jin Lan City. Upon seeing his once most beloved disciple, Shen Qingqiu promptly starts coughing up flower petals. (Again.)

Then things get worse.

Or: I wondered, "What would happen if I smashed truth pollen and hanahaki disease together as tropes?" This is the result.

i fell heavy (into your arms) by sundefeater lou (sundefeater) for EyesofftheMaud

He could see him though. His cheeks were round with baby fat, his eyes unshadowed, but he was unmistakably his Toshinori. Even before he'd gotten the weakly mumbled confirmation of the other's name he'd known. He could see Toshinori in the child's eyes, the deep blue gaze watery and afraid but so achingly familiar; he could feel it in his bones, where One for All sang and reached for the remnants of ashes that should have been there, but weren't.

Or: Izuku has always been a dutiful son. All Might suddenly being younger than Eri isn't going to change that.

Part 2 of Despite Your Good Intentions

Opinion Editorial • Tokyo Times Hero Intern Deku: Our Next Savior, or the Catalyst of Hero Society’s Downfall? By Yumoto Ryobe Like • Comment • Share It’s been a month since Hosu City was rocked with attacks from the newest villain group, the League of Villains, and Hero Intern Deku’s (unranked) takedown of the serial killer Stain, his first S ranked villain arrest. Pro Hero media is a mess of differing opinions on Deku, ranging from idolization to condemnation. Fan clubs and hate clubs alike have popped up online. Despite his rousing speech in Hosu and his call to action, Deku has been notably absent from the public eye in any meaningful way. With tensions high and no word from the one at the heart of all the chaos, the question must be asked: just what the hell is Hero Intern Deku doing? (Honestly? His best.)

Stranger Things

Actually Me - Eddie Munson by Savi_Yoi

This idea was bouncing around my brain at 3am so I just had to write it down.

Eddie is a famous musician. Gaining fame through the 90s with Corroded Coffin. Him and Steve have been together since 1987, but they were always very private about their relationship. Steve is like a cryptid in the Corroded Coffin fandom, with very little information about him, and very few pictures. Eddie is promoting a solo album in 2021, and Steve is pulled on camera to do a silly interview with him. They're about 54/55 in this fic.

This is the transcript of that interview.

The Tunnels of Bel'Mar by neuronary

“Shit,” Wheeler said, realisation dawning across his face. “Fucking tunnels, shit!” “Seriously, dude?” Sinclair said. “You just clocked? He’s been freaking out all week and you only just realised.” “It’s Dustin!” Wheeler protested. “I thought he was just… being Dustin!”

Or, a dungeon Eddie designs freaks Dustin out a little bit too much. He doesn't get an explanation.

[sonicasura]

(Making this a post instead of reblogging cause I got a LOT to say.)

As a Sonic fan and has Sonic Unleashed listed as their favorite game, YES. Since Sonic Prime is delving into the multiverse genre, it would make sense to use a Sonic that has the Werehog transformation. (I do have my own versions of the Werehog but that'll be saved for an actual AU.)

So, shenanigans happen causing Sonic to end up in Ordon Forest sometime after the events of Twilight Princess. Yep! The Blue Blur and his nighttime persona is gonna become a cryptid for awhile. I believe 'Azure Hound' would be a nice name.

This mainly stems from the fact Sonic is impossible to spot during the daytime but at night, the Werehog looks like an unidentified canine which is only added onto by the darkness. Now Twilight won't investigate for awhile since this cryptid hasn't really hurt anyone much less might be real.

That is until one of the kids in the village goes missing. Apparently a few children snuck out to go cryptid hunting only for something to go wrong as their bud got left behind in the process. Enough to solicit the hero to go on an 'Azure Hound' hunt.

Twilight manages to find the kid being chased by monsters. One goes to attack only for Sonic the Werehog to intercept it. It becomes clear that the Azure Hound is outnumbered so Link goes into help. They managed to defeat all the monsters but the Werehog gets badly injured taking a surprise blow for Twilight.

Link takes both Sonic and the kid back to Ordon Village where the child explains that the Werehog kept them safe until they could return home. It doesn't take long for Sonic to switch back to his normal hedgehog self or for Twilight to sense the wolf like traits either.

So instant papa wolf as Link cares for the wounded Blue Blur. Really doesn't take long until Twilight manages to get some adoption papers and Sonic to get settled in. Also father-son wolf style bonding.

The Werehog has a tendency to howl, can easily run on all fours like a wolf, and enough canine instincts to boot. (Literally has an idle animation where he sits on all fours and scratches himself with his foot.) Only makes sense for Twilight to shift into wolf form more often. Although the look on his face would be funny when Sonic shows off the full extent of the Werehog's elastic arms alongside strength.

Then the Chain show up one day to recruit Twilight. I'm also doing this out of order as this Link joins before Wild but not anyone else. None of the Links realized that they'll be getting a non-Link member much less one like Sonic.

Plus when Wild later joins, our Werehog By Night will be throwing in this comment. "Looks like Wolf Pops might be adding another pup to the pack." Incoming chaotic sibling bonding as BOTW Link is just a feral gremlin with enough little shit energy to match.

Twilight is also more bold since he isn't too shy of revealing that he's Wolfie unlike in canon. Sonic's confidence rubbed off on him as he really doesn't see their lupine forms negatively. It's still them after all.

Sonic: So what if you can turn into a wolf and I can turn into werehog? You are still Link as I'm still Sonic. Let people say what they want since it'll make it funner to prove them wrong.

Twilight: *completely moved and fully proud of his fuzzy blue son* You're such a good pup.

Plus there's more people in the found family alongside another person to jokingly call Time an old man. Well, Sonic would affectionately call him an old 'Fossil' since Twilight calls the older Link Ancestor. The hedgehog is a little shit, what do you expect?

Although Time would call Sonic 'hoglet' since that is the name for baby hedgehogs after all. Both are gonna be teasing each other to the point the Hero of Time feels more like his younger child self. Overall, this spiky hero is gonna bring some much needed positivity for the Chain.

If Midna could visit or join Twilight's adventures then she'll definitely take the role of chaotic mom figure with Sonic. These two would be crafting mischief together in seconds with Wild and Wind also joining. Poor wolf dad is practically impulse control cause someone is going to set something on fire with Midna around. Although Twilight might end up joining and turn that fire into an explosion.

That's all I got for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Hyrule.

Team Sonic

[dragon-seahorse]

I,Like Zesty couldn't pick one so I chose

Uno From Nanbaka (Left) And Doppo Kunikida (Right).

I am NOT NORMAL about these two and while they're not my weirdest they're my most I guess you could say Elaborate? I have some weird ones yes but the explanations would be way to short but these two are actually always at the forefront of my headspace and they are like my most consistent companions in my brain. I will also say with my roommates I am their Uno and Kunikida they're my Chuuya and Dazai and Nico and Jyugo(we RP and plan to cosplay these characters).For now though here's the tea on my boys!

Uno:

Silly:

Mom friend like straight up he is cell 13's mom. He's also got a gambling addiction and ironically enough he is the best with money I'm not even joking. Also one of my favorite lines from him is this:

moster/evil doll thing is tugging on Uno's hair cause the group is chatting for plot reasons. After some tugs he just turns amd screams out "HEY! DON'T PULL ON MY HAIR UNLESS WE AGREE ON A FRIGGIN SAFE WORD!!!" And then he sees the evil doll and goes pail as a ghost before the group runs away(this is a "comedy" anime and he is crying as they run away but it's the funny anime crying). Either way I think he's one of the funniest characters in this show.

Angst:

We hardly know anything about his backstory, what we do know is that apparently he hates authority and since this is a prison anime he probably has had enough bad experiences with prison guards he doesn't trust them hell both he and another character Rock are either consciously or unconsciously protective over their younger cell mates Nico and Jyugo that they tend to put themselves infront of Nico and Jyugo a lot even when they sleep Uno and Rock are on the outsides with Nico and Jyugo are inbetween them. I also think he might have a slight case of bad or low self esteem as he is a very pretty character but he is being constantly overshadowed by other pretty boys in the show two (possibly three it's been a while since I've actually watched Nanbaka)of which actively state that they are much better looking than him.

As a result of him being one of my favorites:

I made him an angsty back story,I have made so many AUs for my boy, hell I have a crack/joke ship of Uno and Mothman(Yes,the Cryptid) based on an inside joke with my friends. Hell I am slowly building my collection of Uno merch there's sadly not a lot but maybe someday qwq. He's also got a permanent spot in my brain space that he and Kunikida kinda run it together.

Kunikida:

Silly: God where do I start, I love the way he's animated and I love it when he gets the shark teeth when he's angry and yelling at Dazai. He's also honest just a fun character and I latched onto him quickly hell he's a lot like me in certain aspects and I think that's why he quickly became my faves. I usually cling to the protags and while yes Atsushi is one of my absolute favorite protags,Kunikida is THE FAVORITE. Plus I love how soft he can be and how caring he actually is. He also tends to act like a male wife and he is also the mom friend and Dazai even calls him the agency's mommy (he also calls him that in the light Novel too!!!) And I fuckin love that (I am Sensing a pattern here with me and mom friend characters)

Angst:

The Fandom is sleeping on him for real I am not joking. He calls Dazai every morning and night to make sure he's okay hell I'm sure he makes meals for both Dazai and Katai to make sure they get some decent food instead of takeout all the time. In Beast he doesn't call Akutagawa a monster he tells him flat out that he just doesn't know himself yet and that the ADA will help him figure things out and he's ONE OF THEM NOW!!!. Kunikida sacrifices himself because he doesn't want anyone to die in front of him he's been shown to willingly blow himself up to protect others and when someone does die it breaks him. It breaks him and it tears him up inside but he hardly gives himself the time to grieve. HE EVEN SHEDULES HIS BRAKEDOWNS AND THAT HURTS SO MUCH THAT HE FEELS HE HAS TO DO THAT FOR THE SAKE OF TIME MANAGEMENT!!!! OTL. I swear to God the ADA would crumble so fast without him they could probably live but it will never be the same with out Kunikida there. Kunikida I swear is so important to the series but he's constantly shoved aside and that makes me so so sad.

As a result of him being one of my favorites:

He is very similar to Uno while I don't have a backstory for him I have so many AUs with him,so many ships,I do have more merch of Kunikida than I do of Uno but I love themb both so much. Kunikida also like Uno has basically permanent residency in my head and they're the most prominent. I also plan to cosplay as Kunikida eventually I even has his notebook as well.

Uno and Kunikida mean the world to me and love them so very very much. They are my boys and I am almost always down to talk about them.

Now I'm not gonna tag anyone cause I don't wanna be rude ^^; but if anyone wants to do this feel free

I'm bored so....

show your 'weirdest' to explain favourite character, say the silly & angst reasons why you like them and what you have done as a result of them being your favourite

I'll start:

Qi Rong aka Night Touring Green Lantern from Heaven Official's Blessing

Silly reason I love him: he's deranged and crass which is fun to see in comparison with the other characters and how the fuck did he of all characters become a father?

Angst reason I love him: he's an abandoned child who while yes, has done horrible things and hurt people, he's someone who's needed a hug and someone there for him for him. His name literally means 'face of sorrow' and much like how Mu Qing's name meaning hurts... it hits hard

As a result of him being one of my favourites: I wrote a whole oc who's his best and only true friend because I thought it would be funny but now they're an actually deep and meaningful friendship to the point she is now helping care for his son

[olivethetreebitch]

Do I want this au to exist in fic form? Yes, do I have ANY motivation to do it? Absolutely the fuck not! So! Here is the GX section of my currant running Yugioh!au

I’ll probably post about the general au later but for now here:

1. Time travel fic, takes place after Bonds Beyond Time, so Judai knows Yugi (not Atem, they really didn’t do anything in the movie so ehhh I think they really didn’t interact), and Yusei, they exist. Well that’s not the main point, the point is that Yubel and him are soul linked/merged/whatever the hell happened. The story would start with Judai getting sent back in time (wether it be Crimson Dragon or another beings bullshit) to his younger body. But his soul is still merged and he has all his memories.

So before Judai and Yubel were separated and Judai went through the shock therapy, he ran away with the help of Yubel. Age like…5? 6? I don’t remember the canon age. Sue me.

2. Was transported to an interdimentional (donno if I spelled that right I’m tired) bubble thing that Atem exists in (Thank Kiba, the bastard wouldn’t let Atem sleep so he(Atem) made a pocket bubble so he didn’t have to deal with a time loop every day, basically splitting themself from the outside world. He just wants some peace damnit), basically gets adopted by Atem. (Not Yugi, during this Yugi is living his best life and won’t become a full prominent figure until after the Bonds Beyond Time arc. (Yes he does leave the bubble a few years before Duel Academy, they need some socialization)

3. Judai and Yubel learn how to coexist and have a sibling relationship (SUE ME ITS CUTE. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE GAY AND HAPPY.) With communication and planing for the bullshit that is Duel Academy, because they’re getting in because the universe wouldn’t let them off the hook. Also they both get therapy, it helps, Judai i would characterize as sort of back to his S1/2 self, fun, happy, outgoing, but is still mature and realistic when need be also terrifyingly good at reading people. Yubel takes a fucking chill pill (Thank Ra) we love them but they were a lot in the beginning. I would say Yubel has this sort of Older sibling relationship with Judai, which he needed. They learn why friendships are so important to Judai and they learn to coexist in a healthy way.

4. Basically a GX rewrite (Goodbye Chumly you were a good stand in character but Blare makes for better writing, you will be a side character later probably) but with Judai+Yubel team up, they manipulate the outcome to certain events like they leave Manjoume to go to the other school because he’ll meat the Ojama’s and have character development. But will stomp the Society of light into smitherines before it even gets to the island. Judai also bonds with his Hero deck again in a fresh way (he did not have the deck on him when he time traveled)

5. Judai goes under an alias, I know that people might not like me for this but I think both Judai and Yubel would agree to use the name Judai for other purposes (names have power, people could track him by the name, eta eta) so when he enters the human realm from Atem’s soul bubble thing they go under the name Jaden Yuki instead of his actual name Judai Muto (Atem adopted him and basically has the Muto last name so [shrugs] makes Yugi’s life easier later anyways)

6. Will Jaden tell any of his friends about him? Absolutely not! Does he tell the professors? Nope! Does Pharaoh love him on sight? Of course!

I think most people would be unnerved by how well they immediately they got along. 

And the way Jaden already knows the island like the back of their hand (he makes a big show of looking around the island but it’s ingrained into them to just exist there)

Does he become a Cryptid? …..slightly. Maybe. Yes? I don’t think he ment to but

✨What can ya do✨

I want this fic to exist, like it spans season 1, because idk how to deal with Johan, and idk if Judai’s ready for that yet (we’re they together in the og timeline? Yes. It didn’t go well. [stares at Yubel], but they made it work.)

Extra notes:

Judai/Yubel Powers:

Shapeshifting into human, Demon (normal Yubel), and Dragon forms (only ever done once and needs all currant Yugioh protags to unlock, not really a plot point)

Going invisible Duel spirit style

Basically being a Duel spirit

Judai can leave his body as a spirit and go do shit (I don’t think anybody wants the laying there (probably dead) body to inhabit Judai has rabies and/or some kind of lock on his body. It’s so connected to their spirit that it wouldn’t fit anything else.)

Can see through magic, can find its source, eta.

LAZER BEAMS. OUT OF THEIR HANDS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING TO BE COOL.

Sonic speed, strength, reflexes, mans doesn’t subscribe by the laws of physics. Also they a bendy mother fucker, folds like origami.

Glowing multicolored eyes.

Can make illusions, not crazy like cover the school, but enough to get them out of sticky situations.

Basically if the plot permits it, chaos can be made, and who am I to say if it cannot happen?

Pronouns for the peeps:

Judai: He/They

Yubel: They/Them

Atem: He/They

Yugi: He/Him

Seto: He/Him

Everyone else has their normal pronouns but feel free to change them, I have not made concrete decisions on them, working on the protags first on that one.

Atem and Yugi are originally from Season 0, but they also time traveled and experienced Duel Monsters. Hence the Season 0 tag

If someone makes this fic/Art/just interacts my day would be made holy shit. I can’t be the only one with GX brain rot.
