#and a creation myth

[moonfurthetemmie]

so the funky magic royalty AU is based on a dream I had, and it’s even more convoluted than Sunfall and Deimos’ Understudy; both of which were also based on dreams.

It’s got JMV, DINTIS, DS, and F!JMV/F!DINTIS. Mainly just F!JMV Mercury (grouchy old Arsenic my beloved <33), but that implies the existence of everyone else. And I can’t deny onyx his husband so F!DINTIS is there too. Probably. There’s also OGMV in the corner. But that isn’t why it’s convoluted.

It’s, as I said, a royalty AU. There’s also a funky magic system (hence the name) with six base elements, which can combine into secondary and tertiary magics, but if you combine all six at once you get lightning. which is so powerful no mortal can channel it, because they are immediately vaporized. But that doesn’t make it convoluted either.

There are three main kingdoms (excluding OGMV). But one of them is very new; in fact, by the present it’s only ~5 years old. They’re still the most magically and technologically advanced kingdom in the known world and here I have to admit I’d been watching Arcane when this thing came about, so it’s a lot steampunk-y magitek/hextech stuff

This still isn’t why it’s convoluted.

It’s convoluted because of who the fuck is in charge, and where other characters came from and currently live.

Jet and Obsidian are kings of Aphotia; a kingdom which views all other elements of magic as inferior to that of darkness, and claims the god of darkness as their patron deity.

Dream is king and Jade is prince of Luminance; a kingdom which, by virtue of its own views on magic, directly opposes Aphotia; light magic is superior, and darkness is evil. Jade originally came from Aphotia and is the only reason that using tenebris isn’t completely illegal and punishable by death. He’s the voice of reason. Pats his head.

Dark is king and Nightmare’s prince of Stateras, which by virtue of being five years old is mostly neutral to all other feuds between kingdoms. They firmly hold the belief that all the elements are equal; no one is inherently evil or better than any other. As a result, they have accomplished some crazy magical feats, and already have several kingdoms clamoring for some of their sick technology. Dark came from Aphotia and Nightmare came from Luminance.

btw Stateras is now on a floating island due to an accident with wind magic. it’s fine dwbi

Koroit and Zuli came from Luminance.

Finch came from Aphotia. Ink sorta did too but mainly she was kidnapped and that’s where her knockoff winter solider arc happened.

Lots of named characters have run off to Stateras, including Silver who’s praying Paraiba can make it before shit hits the fan.

Oh there’s also a side timeline where Obsidian and Jet overthrew the former Queen of Aphotia, who was batshit insane and is now even worse because she’s pissed at them. And she’s trying to figure out how to harness lightning. Which should kill her. But it won’t because she’s Hashtag Girlboss (also the creators are gay)

(Seriously though, we don’t have a valid excuse as to why she hasn’t been killed for her hubris. Her name is Virion and she’s actually a version of Obsidian, but she got genderbent here. Because pretty scary unhinged evil ladies >>>>> everything else)

In other news Nightmare’s new princely duties involve playing around with magic for science and his team is working on a huge mech suit they can pilot around and, maybe, channel lightning with by all of them channeling their own magics through it. No one is more excited about this than Bobby. And yes, she is on the team. She’s not allowed to help with some things because she’s fifteen and Nightmare thinks Randy would kill him anyway if something happened to her, but she’s very resourceful and is so thrilled to be learning so much about magic from the guy who invented fucking airplanes (presently only used in an offensive capacity because Nightmare’s too much of an airship nerd)

Nightmare and his team are presently the foremost experts on combo magics. Nightmare is also a pioneer in ’mixing opposing primary magics without killing everyone in the room including himself’. So far it’s just been light and dark magic but they’re working on applications for more such combinations

I have two (2) tables dedicated to the combo magics and I’m fighting with myself to not try in fill in all the tertiary magic because dear fucking god. Also more fun and story accurate if I leave it open. The secondary one is almost certainly going to have to filled out tho

I also have just (yesterday) named the OGMV’s kingdom as well as the H!DS queendom

Because I’m very creative, the H!DS queendom is called Phrikeh, after a Greek goddess of the same name (without the last h)

The OGMV’s kingdom is Cormeum. It’s a mashup of Latin words. Anyone who figures it out gets a virtual high five and also gets to ask me how late it was when I came up with it

I think that’s all I can say without giving away all the secrets before I can make the others from Phrikeh

Aside from sharing the magic charts but we ain’t got time for that my break’s over

Throughout the years, Danny and Ra's get into fights. Unfortunately for Ra's, Danny's a biter. Unfortunately for Danny, biting immortals are never a good idea. Especially when your own DNA is beyond messed up

Imagine the look on Ra's face when they guy he likes fighting shows up with a baby in hand and says, "congratulations, you're a father"

Repeat it two more times because Danny just doesn't learn

Ohohoho, now this is quite fun. And this could be completely new children, or, this could be the three Al Ghul children. Which if it is? Is hilarious. And hey, Dusan even has Danny's white hair and green eyes!

But seriously I love this. Logically, Danny should learn to not bite, in fact? He knows how to fight, and can do so without biting. He's just also a petty little shit who will go feral when fighting this one asshole [insert relationship here].

Even more hilarious if Danny shows up throughout time too. And it's not like they exactly explain to anyone on the outside of their [insert relationship here], which definitely leads to so many misunderstandings and rumors.

Love the idea if this is even a semi-normal ghost thing. Just, usually the mixing of ecto is done on purpose, and not usually having to be worried about happening via blood. But Danny? Is a halfa, meaning that he is half human. And if he bit anyone else, it would probably have no effect, except for the fact that the human mouth carries quite a bit of bacteria and en ecto-contaminated one more so. So for anyone else, biting is an actual good option, but Ras? Also ecto-contaminated via Lazarus Pit.

Which is a different type of ectoplasm, like comparing saltwater to freshwater, but is still ectoplasm. If anyone else bit anyone else, it wouldn't happen. But no, Danny just has to have the habit of biting his immortal sparring asshole of a rival-buddy. And said buddy better be fine with co-parenting otherwise he's taking child support.

forza finale

[teal-sharky]

So, you know that whole mythos with Lilith as the original pre-Eve woman, who was actually the true equal to Adam, made of the same clay as him, and who was later replaced by Eve who was instead designed to be his subservient complement, crafted from his rib?

::Takes another fat rip of her vape pen::

Do you think Lilith had a girldick?

The Creation of Hyrule

[burningcheese-merchant]

Wake up, BurningCheese/GoldenSpice babes, new poorly drawn blorbos just dropped

They look cooler in my head, I swear.

the images didn't show up the first time wtf lol

The kids are finally here, yay. I promised I'd show you them, and I finally stopped being an asshole and followed through. Almost got 200 followers and I'm very grateful for it - really, I'm nobody. I'm just some clown who says dumb stuff and makes dumb memes and writes cringey stories, and yet I convinced almost 200 people to tune in. Thank you all so much, users on here and anons in my inbox alike. As a token of appreciation, you can all endure my rambling about my OCs and witness a person in their early 20s draw like a 12 year old.

The boy is Pepper Jack (or Pepper Jack Cookie). He's the firstborn and older than his sister by a few years. He takes after his mother in a lot of ways, primarily in her appearance (save for nabbing his father's red eyes). He's incredibly bright (and a smartass lol), preferring to think his way out of conflict rather than fight his way out... not that he's above violence at all, if that glaive doesn't give it away lol. He harbors a deep sense of love and loyalty towards his family and his peoples, and carries the weight of his responsibilities and heritage with as much confidence and poise as he can muster. (There are/will be times where he stumbles, of course. He's not perfect. He struggles a lot more than he lets on, really. But he tries his best, for everyone's sake.)

The girl is Matar Paneer (or Matar Paneer Cookie). Again, she's the younger one by a few years. She was all but made in her father's image, save for inheriting her mother's eyes. She's a little firecracker: lively and fun-loving and stubborn as a mule. She doesn't ask "can I have/do this thing", she tells you "I'm going to have/do this thing". Golden is proud as anything to see her daughter be so greedy... until that greed comes into conflict with her and Spice's authority lol. But she's a good kid, despite being such a handful. She has an enormous heart and is not afraid to stand up for others/what's right, and she loves her parents and brother more than anything in the world. She might doubt her own capabilities, she might secretly fear that she's not strong enough to do what she needs to... but she keeps pushing anyway, because she'd honestly choose death over quitting.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, Pepper Jack's wings are blue lol. There's an actual reason for that. And that USO (Unidentified Sitting Object) in Matar Paneer's hair is a lotus (the cheese one in the GCK decor set lol). There's a reason for that, too. I thought it would be cool to give Jack a glaive and swap out the normal blade for that of a khopesh sword (glaives are not Egyptian, they only saw use in Asia and Europe, but I just HAD to give him a glaive), to add that Egyptian touch. Paneer's supposed to be wearing a pattu pavadai, it's a traditional Indian dress for young girls. It's a blouse plus a skirt. She's holding katar, Indian knives (Cilantro Cobra has them, too). And her hair's supposed to be in a low ponytail.

Merchant thinks that if they explain what their terrible drawings are supposed to convey, people will understand their intended vision and the pain will stop

I sat down and did research into both Egyptian and Hindu mythology for the sake of drawing inspiration for them both. I'll explain in detail in another post, but basically: both of them take after one Egyptian god and one Hindu god each. Golden takes after Ra and Spice takes after Shiva, so I figured I'd follow along that line.

Please flood my inbox with questions about them now. I've really been dying to talk about them for ages now. I've drafted extensive character sheets for them both, I even made up in-game descriptions for them lol. They're my little fankid blorbos and I love them :') I hope you all come to love them, too

(Also, I'm sorry they're on lined paper. I'm visiting family rn and that's the only paper my grandmother has in her house. I'd have to drive to a stationery to get printer paper and I'd really rather not drive in this particular country lol (shit roads, even shittier drivers). I'll doodle them on printer paper whenever somebody remembers to bring me some)

The edge of chaos looks suspicpusly a lot like George Frederic Watts 1882 painting named chaos:

Along with this, this is the description of the painting:

[contaminatedgirl]

for requests could you possible do gold themed with “mythical” creatures? Like unicorns, lions, dragons etc

obviously lions aren’t.. mythical creatures but I see them included in old stories and artwork with unicorns a lot so I think they also fit 🦁

✧･ﾟGold-themed mythical creature stamps.°˖✧

Thank you for the request! Sorry for the late response, I've had a busy month (⊙_⊙)

These were a bit different from my usual style but fun to make. Hope you like them anon!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Spending my sick time writing out my own ATLA creation myth which won't even be relevant until Book 4 of Fractures, but by god will it be ready when it is needed.

Staring at me, mockingly, is Baldur's Gate 3, currently open to literally right before the fight at the end of Act 2, as well as my outline for Fractures. Both are waiting for me and like a coward I refuse.

Prompt 242

   He looks the same as he had that fateful day, a storm raging around him and risking sending the ship down into the abyss. Hair whipping in the wind as the sky roars its deadly challenge echoed by the beasts they all sought to bring down those centuries ago. 

   It looks just as human as they- that is to say not at all, not anymore. A body twisted, sand and lightning melding into a molten sea ever-expanding. Its eyes as gold as the treasure it guards, brilliant blues and greens dancing across bodies in sigils unknown. 

   It looks exactly as it did that time ago, smile dancing on its lips as the sky opened up in torrents, like blood gushing from a wound. “You’re free to go,” it says, in words they understand and words they don’t. “You don’t have to stay here any longer.” 

   “Where will we go?” They ask, so very tired of this eternal battle, of being trapped in crashing waves and storms of water and sand. Being tossed one way and the other, never able to go home, for home was gone long ago. 

   It looks up, their own gaze following, the ship crashing through the dredges of a storm they had thought eternal. And for the first time in eternities, they see them. The stars. Dancing and dripping from a serpentine form that cradles the Sun and Moon, smiling down to the beast and them alike. 

   And so, they take from the seas, and take to the stars instead.

3rd DC x DP prompt of Machi's

Machi: question, do you know how in Greek and other mythologies they came up with the most absurd stories as how gods/heroes were born? What if Team Phantom came up with all kinds of weird stories about Dani and Dan to f*ck with the JL?

Like, Dani is an ice statue brought to life by Danny

Me: omg lmao that would be effing hilarious

Dani was formed from Danny's sneeze. Don't make Danny sneeze, he'll spawn another kid.

Machi: Danny created a cocoon of ice an slept there for seven days, when he woke up there were two of them

Me: for lolz, I can imagine Amorpho being with Dani and Danny to add on the f*ckery and if possible, Redeemed!Dan

Machi: Danny went to space and ate a collapsing universe. Said universe still collapsed inside Danny, making Danny collapse as well and be divided into three people.

... nah, too complicated

Once Danny was on a fight and he broke a fang, he buried the fang on the sand and seven days later Dani was born

A shark ate Danny's feet, a few days later Dan broke free from the shark's belly

Me: Danny looked upon his reflection in the lake near the town he's protecting and his reflection (Amorpho or Dani) rose from the water
