#au explanation post

[3x0t1clibra]

ok so this post is gonna be messy reread if you wanna

I have (yet another) au idea of g1 (ofc its g1) that Spike (OFCOURSE ITS SPIKE) gets Sari Sumdac'd but he isn't originally techo-organic hes just human.

A relic (will rename what these gogo gadgets are called) gets found again because it kinda glued to a transformer, but it didn't activate. The transformer (that didnt know the relic was on their frame) got sent to earth to help with the war and the relic dropped itself mid battle. Spike sees it and takes it hoping its an advantage to the Autobots.

Literally right after he barely fully grabs it the relic decides "Oh i thought i would make a Cybertronian be a me user but you'll work as good." and proceeds to LATCH onto Spike's skin and tasses him to kinda "complete" making him the user now.

Bro just wanted to help now he fighting for his life😭😭😭🙏

this was just a quick visual/sketch of what i was planing, i will make changes and/or removals of stuff here

Specifics in this au:

@asimp4bee 's oc relic thing/ref sheet inspiration (im stalkign her acc rn)))

Steven Universe's gem placement meanings (YOU GUYS PROBABLY DOTN GET THIS OR WHAT IT EVEN IS BUT I DO. I DO.‼️)

color theory (yall thought this is simple, no it aint) (((and im not talking abt artist rendering color theory either)))

the shape of the relic/shape theory (((again im an absolute nerd for these)))

meanings of each body part (this ones weird but youll get it later)

man i love torturing Spike, hes literally my discord profile 🫶🫶🫶 (im honestly more hyperfixated on him than Bumblebee... woops)

DpxDc AU: Tim as a child was never given a lot of information regarding the scribbling messy handwriting that appeared over night all over his arms- naturally he came to his own conclusions.

Tim Drake was home entirely alone at 9 years old and was about to go out for the night to test his brand new long exposure camera lens when he sees the writing on his arm. It’s not English, like he assumed it was at first, but it was using the alphabet to represent… Tim isn’t bad at math but this formula is complex for his little genius brain.

Looking at his camera, he decides he can spare a moment to look it up, solve it, and get back out into old town Gotham in time for Batman and Robin’s final patrol lap. He does just that, finding the problem to relate to some aerospace engineering and then quickly deduces what laws and theorems need to be applied. He finds a pen, writes down his findings in much neater handwriting onto his arm, and goes out. It’s barely a remarkable night at all. He gets a much more memorable photo of Robin roundhouse kicking a hench person.

Things just continued on that way. Tim would find some complex math, physics or chemistry prompt on his arm (surrounded by various question marks or notes or sad faces)- he’d answer it as best he could and move on with his life. Perhaps his parents were manifesting these pop quizzes? Perhaps his subconscious felt guilty about abandoning his studies for more Bat related pursuits? Tim really didn’t care to think much about it once he became Robin- there was too much on his plate and too many peoples problems for him to fix.

Notably, however, after the attack at the Tower, the pop quiz appeared and Tim wrote back that he wouldn’t be able to find an answer to this one. It was the only time Tim questioned the markings appearance and it was because the next thing that appeared was “Hope you feel better soon.”

… his parents wouldn’t include that on a pop quiz. Cursed then. Tim decided it must be a curse, whatever, he’d deal with the implications later in life.

Tim then has the worst year of his life, hes 15, no longer Robin and the questions from his curse are getting less math oriented and more… philosophical. A lot of mentions of death that, in hindsight helped him actually grieve, and a lot of theories about dark matter and souls. Tim answers back as best he can but he’s drained and his answers aren’t very good in his opinion. He gets minimal feedback.

It all comes to a point that he’s at a family dinner, Bruce is at the head of the table, Jason has promised just to stay for dessert, Damian hasn’t thrown a single insult his way and Steph was laughing at him- when a new theoretical model appears on his arm.

“You’re just as bad as Bruce, Timberly. Hiding a soulmate from all of us, how fucking typical.” Jason points out, while watching Tim scribble back some math with a question mark onto his arm.

“A what? No, this is just a curse. I get pop quizzes every now and then.” Tim bats away Steph who rapidly approaches and began to analyze his arm (the rest of the family isn’t far behind).

“Drake. Explain how you came to this conclusion.” Damian seems more curious than anything, if his lack of insults was anything to go off of.

“Since I was young I’ve had at least weekly math check ins, I never had a parent or anyone else around so I assumed my parents had me cursed to ensure I stayed on top of my studies. Sometimes it’s physics or chemistry, for a while there it was a ton of philosophy and behavioral psychology.” He shrugs his shoulders.

“Master Tim, I believe the lack of adults in your life has led you towards a false conclusion. That is most certainly a soulmate mark. The individual to whom you are responding is undoubtedly your other half.” Alfred attempts to calm the room before explaining to Tim. Tim isnt sure if he believes the butler, though Alfred only very rarely lied, so he grabs the pen once more. He writes his first question back: “Who am I to you?”

The room waits in anticipation and within moments a brand new line appears on Tim’s arm and he is vindicated: “We do math together???”

The reason Danny is failing English is because his built in homework helper sucks ass at metaphors and has apparently never read any classic literature. The tutor on his arm is great at puzzles and math tho.

Danny gets a reply back one night that he wasn’t expecting (Who am I to you?) and he mentions it to Jazz. Who goes insane that Danny didn’t even question it and just went with “meh, probably haunted” as his explanation for the phenomenon for all these years.

Apparently, if Jazz was right, he had a soulmate who was uh, super fucking smart. That was an overwhelming thought.

The next day Danny is in crisis mode and writes back “Wait, WHAT AM I TO YOU??? Can I help on your homework??”

Danny gets vindicated when the writing on his arm presents a shit ton of dates and information for an unsolved Gotham cold case. See, Haunted.

———

Eventually between Danny becoming the top candidate for astrophysics at Wayne Enterprises and Tim Drake being outed as having contributed tips to the GCPD that solved cold cases- they meet and realize just how dumb they’ve been.

I have a feeling that sooner or later you are going to silly-post your way into giving them a canon child on the modern au. Just watch

something simple to try to get out of art block (it didn't work)

[snailsnaps]

PROGRAMMED OBSOLESCENCE [intro]

The basic premise? Villain Donnie.

There aren't enough Villain!Donnie AUs, at all.

In Rise, I think Dee has a lot of villain potential, but is kept in line thanks to his family. And still, he treads around the 'chaotic good' area. (Let's remember the Uranium, how he almost shot down his father, shooting a tranquilizer to his brother out of curiosity, inserting sub-cutanean trackers on his brothers without consent...)

So... what if his brothers weren't there? Do you realize how far he could go? I wanted to explore that.

Here, his brothers were never there to keep him in line, they never met eachother, well, until now. How have they never met though? A basic 'separated au' kind of situation. He was left behind in the lab explosion, thought dead, never mentioned to his brothers. Growing up alone, the silence being replaced with the worst kinds of thoughts.

But there's still a lot I need to explore, develop, etc...
