#aurora carmine

[seramilla]

Now we need snippets of Sera and Carmilla as grandmothers!!!

When Caz, Rhys, and Oberon are born, Carmilla and Sera are the typical over-protective grandmothers. Particularly Sera, who has never even seen a baby before, but will still carry all three of them around at the same time, swaddling them close to her chest.

Carmilla's been through this song and dance before, but never with boys. Both of them are out of their element when they become toddlers and start rough-housing on a daily basis. Caz in particular can be kind of a bully, taking a little too much after Velvette when he's really young, but he mellows out as they get older. Ronnie and Rhys are inseparable and always want to be together, so Sera will feed and hold those two at the same time, while Carmilla feeds and interacts with Caz, who is more independent. As far as temperament goes, they are pretty typical babies. A lot like Clara was. Nothing too extreme.

When Aurora is born, Carmilla is more in her element. She can handle girls...or so she thinks. Rory is very different from how Odette was as a baby. Rory is a bit of a firecracker and a lot more fussy than the boys ever were, but her grandmothers are patient and soothe her through her tantrums. Sera can't get over the fact how tiny she is, and just like with the boys, wants to hold her constantly. As a toddler, Rory gets into everything -- tearing pages out of books, pouring bottles down the sink, coloring on the walls, etc. Carmilla can't believe this child came out of Odette -- her perfect angel baby who never did anything wrong in her life. Carmilla blames Verosika's genes. Rory mellows out the most as she gets older -- but those first few years are rough.

Lysander is finally the break that they all need -- he reminds Carmilla exactly how Odette used to be as a baby, so it's like some weird cosmic joke that he came out of Verosika. He meets all of his milestones very early and is smart as a whip. He is absolutely obsessed with his grandmothers, especially Sera, and sometimes they are the only ones who can calm him down when he's upset. He doesn't get upset or cry very often, though, even as a newborn -- he's the most chill baby Hell has ever seen. But he constantly wants to be held, and Sera will never tell him no. She's almost perpetually holding him and carrying him around on her hip. Carmilla worries he's being spoiled, but Sera insists he just loves them very much.

(Should I do one for the Charlie's Angel's fankid I came up with? I haven't fleshed her out enough, or figured out if I'm adding more, but I could try, LOL).

[seramilla]

You have done it again! 😭😭 They are cute as heck!!

I honestly like the small changes you made. I'm always worried after the Velkira triplets that I'm thinking up the other kids to be too similar to their parents, so this is good! Also, Andy would be totally embarrassed of his feet. He's an awkward little munchkin. Maybe he has dainty feet like Verosika, haha! They are cute on him, though! He just doesn't see it.

You also got their personalities and style down pat! I love it!! 👏👏 Thank you!!

Odesika kids for @seramilla au. I decided this time to play a bit with color schemes and mix them a bit so it suits better.

Also made Andy be emberrased of his feet... Deffo has nothing to do with my inability to picture them. *sweats nervously*

They are both pretty tall. I made Andy taller then what Verosika usually is. Genes are at play here.

Hazbin Hotel AU/Rewrite idea: Aurora Carmine

There are two complaints I have seen about Hazbin Hotel

The Angelic Weapon weakness is stupid. How come no one figured it out before?

Please Let Vaggie have a character outside of being Charlie's GF.

I, like many others, have latched onto the idea of Carmilla being a mother figure to Vaggie, and the AUs where she is outright adopted. I recently had an idea where I took this concept and expanded on it to TRY and solve the two above issues.

The reason it is called the Aurora Carmine AU is because Carmilla's existing daughters, Odette and Clara, are named after characters from ballets written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, them being Swan Lake and the Nutcracker respectively. So a third daughter would be Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty. Whether or not this would actually be Vaggie's true name, rather than the Vagina name Adam gave her, would depend on if she IS truly Carmilla's biological daughter that somehow got separated from her.

Ok so what do we know about Vaggie? She was one of Adam's top exorcists who spared a Sinner child and in response, Lute mutilated her and left her for dead.

For my idea, expand on Vaggie's hesitation to kill a kid. It shows she has standards, not everyone in Hell deserves Extermination, but that doesn't mean she is against it entirely. Maybe, much like Moxie in Helluva Boss episode 1 Murder Family, she thinks they should be more selective and actually go after the real pieces of shit, like Overlords. Imagine if Vaggie becomes the top girl to Adam because she tries to go after Overlords, not weak everyday Sinners. She thinks that by having the Overlords be targeted more it'll discourage other Sinners from seeking that power, but all it does is cause the next up-and-coming Overlord from rotating in. For some extra trouble maybe she is the reason some Overlords are in power now, like Valentino, thus making her partially responsible that Angel Dust is under him as she opened the way for Val to gain that power.

Anyway this continues until the Extermination where she ends up letting a Sinner go, but it isn't a child, that is way too obvious and easy. Instead, it is Odette, who went out to collect the Angelic Weapons early before the Exterminations are nearly over because she has been working herself to the bone to stay useful to her mother because she has it in her head that she has to do everything she can to not be a burden. After all, her mom worked so hard to get where she is so their family can be safe. It was meant to be a whole other idea where I explored where Carmilla draws the line between being a mother who cares for her kids and being a cruel Overlord who can't show weakness.

Odette is nearly exhausted, probbaly injured, and possibly on some kind of drugs to keep herself awake when Vaggie encounters her, Odette is desperately crawling away, Clara tries to come in and help her. But instead Vaggie sympathisers with the need to feel needed, and lets them go.

For Lute damaging Vaggie, here is my idea for how Angels would work differently. Angels are more like Sinners here. You CAN damage them, but they regenerate like INSTANTLY, like Lobo but maybe slightly slower. Unlike the Sinners who take a while to heal from their non-angelic injuries. Here, Lute removes Vaggie's Halo, which is what causes them to heal so quickly (this can only be done by a fellow angel or one of higher rank to explain why no Sinner does this), this means the injuries will heal much slower and thus leave her open to be taken out or beaten up or abused by the various Sinners once they come out after the Extermination.

When Carmiulla goes to find her daughters and bring them home, they encounter Vaggie's broken and bleeding form, Odette and Clara say she spared them, and Carmilla decides to take Vaggie home. After all, had it been ANY other Exorcist, her daughters would be dead. She owes her.

Back at Carmilla's place of course they need to treat the wounds. We know Hell has medical stuff that can treat angelic wounds down in Sloth, but those are A. in another Ring, and B. was only used for a noble Goetia. But Carmilla probably has some black market contacts to get some stuff to help. I doubt Pentagram City has a hospital considering Sinners heal and they are SUPPOSED to be dying from Angelic Weapons.

But now another problem, based on how Verosika's Beelzejuice alcohol mutated that fish in Spring Broken, Hell's chemicals have a mutative effect on non-Hell entities. so using the Hell medicine to jumpstart her healing ends up causing her to become a sort of semi-fallen Angel and gain the moth traits that everyone likes to give her. Lucifer became Fallen through an official process it seems while canon!Vaggie was just mutilated but is still physiologically no different from any other Angel.

Carmilla offers her a place at Carmine Industries as she could prove useful in some ways, she already shared her daughters' lives so Carmilla already saved hers. She knows to take advantage of a situation, even if she is still grateful. I mean it isn't like Vasggie has anywhere else to go.

So Vaggie stays there for a bit, possibly doing more desk work than being out among Hell so they can keep an eye on her and she is inexperienced with Hell. Eventually, Clara or Odette could stop playing up the "We are the powerful in-control demons who own you" act and just be casual with her and try to hang out with her. Expressing their own gratitude.

Yada yada yada, a lot of slow-burn bonding where Vaggie becomes more acquainted to Hell. This would all take place either in the 80s like she was first conceptualized, or in 2014 like she was later. To give her more of a history before Charlie.

Things get sour though, because Vaggie has her own opinions on Carmine's business. She is selling Angelic Weapons to people in the street, essentially causing the endless death to not just stop after the Exterminations are over. She has been strict but fair, so why doesn't she use the Angelic Weapons she's gathered to enforce some kind of Order in Hell? Why is she just using her power and influence to hide and protect herself instead of trying to do good? Carmilla of course points out how this is stupid and how that would invite a lot of dangerous people to retaliate. You work with the system, not against it. This is Hell, you adapt to the chaos, not try to tame it.

This causes friction between the two which ruins any chance at them deepening their relationship because Vaggie is really someone who wants to feel useful but still has a good enough head on her shoulders to know when she is ordered to do something wrong.

Then Vaggie meets Charlie and ends up befriending her, this would be before the Hotel gets fully built so she hasn't announced it to anyone, but Charlie wants to do something to help with the Exterminations and Vaggie starts to get a bit on board with it. Yeah Charlie is a bit naive about it, but at least she is ACTIVELY trying to do something to help Hell rather than use her privilege as a shield.

Eventually, Vaggie moves out with Charlie and the plot of Hazbin goes on as per usual.

When Carmilla fights the Exorcists, she puts a new theory to the test, based on a situation she noticed with Vaggie. After she was made into a pseudo-fallen, she seemed to become as vulnerable to Angelic Steel as any other Sinner. So it isn't just one kick from her Angelic Steel boots that does the Exorcist in, Carmilla has a grenade that has its shrapnel laced with Demonic Chemicals so when they pierce the Exorcist's bodies, they infect and corrupt the body during the regeneration process, allowing them to be vulnerable to the Angelic Weapons. I think by adding this little extra step it doesn't overcomplicate things but also makes it make a bit more sense why no one figured it out before, because Carmine is the only one to get a close look at an Angel like she did.

Now of course this would add some stuff to the canon show as well, like Vaggie likely having some reaction to Clara and Odette bringing over the weapons for Sir Pentious, and the interaction with Carmilla for the Angelic Weapon weakness in Hello Rosie. Maybe Vaggie didn't know it was the Hell Medicine affecting her that made her Fallen and thus vulnerable, maybe she thought it was just a natural effect of Hell on her, or something due to her being kicked out by the Exorcists. So her learning that Carmilla took this knowledge from her and made it into a weapon that has caused a lot of trouble could be viewed as a big breach of trust.

Vaggie would obviously have sparred with Clara and Odette in her years with them so the fight wouldn't be AS one-sided, because Vaggie would know they can take advantage of her offense-only fighting style.

I moreso just had the backstory details worked out so I have no idea where the canon relationship would change from here, but I think it is an interesting idea.

There might be SOME things I missed or overlooked, so please point those out if you see them and how it might mess with the story and it's cohesion.

Ooohhhh what if the kids wait until mother's day to tell Carmilla/Sera that they're pregnant so one of their mothers day presents is learning they're gonna be grandmas?

Odette and Verosika in unison: “Happy Mother’s Day!!! Here’s your present!”

*hands them two t-shirts that say “Hell’s Greatest Grandma”*

Sera: *screams with delight* “Oh girls I’m so happy for you!”

Carmilla, having flashbacks to when Velkira’s boys were babies: “Umm…are you…?”

Odette pregnant with Rory: “Don’t worry Mom, it’s just one this time.”

Carmilla, hugging Odette and Verosika: “Oh thank you, Satan!!”

Reading your angry-jaded-at-the-world Superman posts made me think of a Superbat Maleficent AU where fae!Clark falls for the prince he cursed to die.

(Like, idk maybe carmine or lex manipulated thomas into stealing clark's wings or something?? And yeah, that pisses him off.)

The three fairies are Alfred, Harley and Ivy. Instead of three adults raising one child, it's one adult raising three children. God bless Alfred.

Bonus: One or more of the batkids/superkids are Diaval (re: Clark's morality pet(s)). Just imagine Bruce growing older and becoming a dad to them, unknowingly repaying how they watched out for him as a kid.

They may be near century y/o fae but at heart, they're still kids.

mmmm idk cause the whole maleficent/aurora bring sipped or portrayed romantically squeaks me out bc she knew her since infancy so. Not my read!!

RED-VELVET, GUTS, WHORE.

Lights, Camera, Acción. Winter dusk’s constellations whistled transcendent dreams, bathed in the ethereal glow of aurora’s luminescence. Airy bittersweet radiant amidst melodrama in the air. Ensnared by the meaning of slumber, I existed in-between a haze cognizant disruption and somnolent reverie. Awakened by the silence, burdened by the aphasic blare of the alarm's siren. Still I lay, halfway slanted over my body draped on the pearly-white and ivory golden rounded couch in despair. Languishing, unfathomed by the remnants from the night prior. A hangover grippingly lingers, seeping within and regret chokes me tight. 

An aluminium can of Coca-Cola Cherry descends in echoes cluttering spillage on the white marble floor, as the scent of cigarette musk lingers in the atmosphere. Cursing breaths elicit underneath my throat and between faded red-stained lips. Wrapped in light's embrace, I’d wander through the resplendent marble vestibule interior of my apartment and enter its marbled white duluxe bathroom abiding inside the steamy mist. 

Moments within time passed by hastily. The water droplets that were cascading down my freshen skin and glistening diamonds were now dry. My platinum tresses blew out and straightened to perfection. With a glimpse of anticipation, I begin to apply skincare products on my adorning bare facade with the right amount of elixir. The serums and creams melt seamlessly, enhancing my features. I glowed, dewy like a glazed doughnut and metamorphosed the art besotted flawlessness. A reflection initiates an art canvas amongst finger painting various colors to create an illusion of beauty, soft pads of my fingers blend in Les Beiges foundation by Chanel, my perception of art would be naturals, delicately blending in to embrace color. Then, I conceal without a brush, it'll look natural and any imperfections underneath the eyes will magically disappear using The Chanel Radiance Concealer as a little goes along the way. I add another touch of a blush, reaching for the N°1 de Chanel lip and cheek balm, a little dab here and there would suffice a bit of warmth. 

Then, I use a brush to delicately dance, each stroke creates a symphony of shades and hues as I lace together artistry and self-expression.

I enhance my dewy glow, defining my features. Chanel's Les Beiges bronzer sculpts my sharp cheekbones. For my eyelids, I use the luxurious Ombre Premier cream eyeshadow, and for my perfectly shaped brows, I reach for Chanel's Le Gel Sourcils. A few strokes to shape and define my fuller brows. And at last, by accomplishing the look, I apply the Noir Allure mascara for voluminous lashes. Since my lashes are naturally long and I don't wear falsies, it makes other models presume they have feathers for eyes. With the Chanel Nude Brun lip pencil I trace the shape of my cupid's bow, filling in the corners. And a glossed layer for a mesmerizing finish. 

Passing through an elevator exit, alabastrine glow painted air illumination, heavenly renaissance interior upon the ceilings reconcile with a gaze before relinquishing for day. Bypassing the doorman who greets residents “Good Morning,” I feel a breeze of winter air wandering along the sidewalk around a nearest corner and a further pathway I spotted Au Cœur Couronné nestled upper-right in the corner, it’s sign in the shape of a reddened heart underneath a golden crown pendant embedded on peal-white cobblestone wall, arched windows and the doors infinitely ajar. Au Cœur Couronné beckons me inside without a second thought, saccharine pastry collides with the robust aroma of delicate brewed coffee and Chocolat Chaud. I preferred this place amongst other coffeehouses. The interior full of historical art statues, paintings attached upon carmine walls and golden panels ignite French architecture and monochrome checkerboard floors. Au Cœur Couronné's cake exhibit varied its delicacy with marbled macarons of scarlet cherry, pearly-white, and speckling gold leafs. Éclairs. Cupcakes of carmine served with velvety white chocolate frosting and on top a glint of glitter, on the far left array’s cherry and raspberry torté, blackberry red wine chocolate gourmet and decadent strawberry tarts. A burst of redness captivating the art of passion and desire, but lastly among it all was the heart shaped red-velvet cake embroidered in its velvety texture, tiny hearts and rich palate. Adrifting, I withheld from the cake stand, making a note to order one for Friday. My attention temptingly drawn to the savoury salads. I was enticed, gazing for no more than three seconds. Salade de fraises, épinards et laitue. I've been in this position before. But an error suffices, an allergy to strawberries. I loathe food as much as I'd yearned for it. A prying urge to endorse pain, satisfaction had won as my intrusive thoughts consumed the very best of me. Upon reaching the plastic transparent box and pomegranate dressing resting on top, I rested it on the counter as the barista behind greeted me with a warming welcome. 

“Morning, what can I get for you today?” 

Through the reflection of noir sunglasses, he is unaware that I am gazing while he harbours a smile with his ocean blue eyes, exhausted with genuine curiosity. I paused momentarily to ponder what I'd been craving for. 

“A regular on the go will do. Make it 170 degrees, but don't burn the foam and no sugar.” 

As he gestures towards the coffee machine, brewing a fresh pot with steam flowing and the aroma of fresh beans filling our senses. I wander off to claim my seat by an arched window, seeking a more subdued light. Craving for grandiose between my lips, I search for the heart-shaped Vivienne Westwood lighter and ignite a grandiose cigarette. The smoke swirls around me in a wistful dance. Coffee is served and I ask for the card machine, paying for the things I purchased.

Ashes burned in-between a few sips of brew and smoke. I'd take a break from intoxicants to inhale crisp, cold draft, then exhale. Amidst all tranquil, my own thoughts soon conspired upon me. They crept in and whispered as temptation overbared the bylaws of my consequences. I'd soon disremember about my allergic susceptible affect, the indulgence of pain this would bring. Embracing determination to my senses, it became apparent that I disregard haunting thoughts and savour Salade de fraises, épinards et laitue.

Lights, Camera, Acción. Strut on the runway, evade from jogging, running, or waving. Let your countenance remain stoic, and prevent smiles. Embrace the power of a resting bitch face. Stay focused and exude expressionism of the higher ground. At the Chateau Hall rhythmic melodies reverate, stroboscopic light and camera flare beaming within the distance. The upcoming fashion extravaganza, a spectacle of sartorial brilliance drew nearer with each passing day, casting a shimmering aura of anticipation upon our hearts. The runaway stage design was noir, monochromic, capturing attention with bold elements. Mirror pillars would reflect the stage and the centrepiece persists with an open wide mouth, symbolising the presence and nature of the fashion world. It almost looks surreal with a touch of mystery behind it, but overall its aesthetic would be an unforgettable runway experience. Models would walk in as others would exit out. I was supposed to be up there myself, but being already late, I'd face consequences. Leaning upon the door frame, gazes of the cosmos never faltered as colleagues who participated exulted the platform.

‘’Oh, look who decided to show up. Tardy Barbie thinks she's too prestigious for punctuality. Iris won't be thrilled, that's for sure. Guess nobody asked for your fashionably late entrance.’’ Ugh.. Ava’s voice is unbearable like chipped manicured nails on a chalkboard. I find it insufferable when I take a deep breath, the calmness I once abide shattered into pieces, and my body tenses up in utter cringe. Enduring in silence. 

‘’Fuck off, Ava.’’

In cold response, still gazing at the stage of catwalks and visuals. A flamed light ignites Gauloises attempting to search calming waters.

“No, I'm going to stay here and watch you get in trouble. Iris should be here any second now.’’ 

“Aw, like the time you had wandered in and saw your fiancé's cock down my throat, or the time he and I fucked in the bathroom at your wedding? God, he hated you.”

‘’You are such a cold-hearted /bitch/,’ I can hear her voice triggering in a wearing tone.

‘’And you’re a cunt. Maybe deep throat better and you’ll eventually keep someone.’’ 

I flicked the burning cigarette in her direction, walking in another. She tugs on my arm, her face glowing red but I divert by shoving past her side. Things were still intense between me and Ava, her attempts to taunt me and dredging up past indiscretions perceived as nonchalant. Faces turn at the small commotion across the entrance exit Ava follows like a lost puppy still raging on about the great mistakes I made. Dwelling in the past is far long and exhausting. We were never friends, not even close. In an inconvenient time, while I am still being provoked Iris walks down the hall, folders in hand, and her facade burning red. There is steam almost eliciting out of her ears. I knew Ava would get into shit for causing a scene with her intricate interplay. I watched as Iris dismissed Ava further away from me, disdaining the havoc behind, then turning to me with a stern faded glare. She inquired about my whereabouts. And I explain, though Iris seemingly visibly upset in her frustration with everything else.

“You can't just show up when you want to, otherwise, nothing will work out. I think we'll have to sit you out on this one.” Iris assigns me the task of designing for Alina, lacing her words with a subtle threat of consequences for being late again.

“And Carmilla, if you ever show up late again, I will fire you. That's a final warning.”

Alina Xialing abides in high fashion, soaring elegance at the zenith of 6.5. She is attired in delicate lingerie, and her confidence scaled the rooftops, alluring the ethereal glowing atmosphere. It reflects on her soft, glowing skin. We both have diverse aesthetics but identical concepts for every design, as if it were the art of fate drawing us together. She informs me that my work is immaculate, admiring the designs almost warmed up my icy cold heart and would be honoured to wear every piece. Upon the attire fitted on her slender figure is a translucent skin mesh top laced with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” in noir infinite artwork. Her skirt is shortened to her slender thighs, and she wears high-knee heels creating a stunning visualisation. The tattoo on her right arm adds an edgy glimpse to her final ply of artistic expressions. I perceive as if I’d near despise her.

On the runway an array of girls find solace in intoxicated elixirs for confidence and courage, others imbibe for ketamine and a variety while the majority use the pleasure in any substances they can get their hands on. They’re driven by famine and insatiable hunger exhilarated by their own experience, it's no wonder they seem halfway through their demise.  I stood on the top floor, leaning over the balcony, I couldn't help but observe the disastrous scene unfolding on the runway. The model, seemingly under the influence, stumbled along the path, her eyes drawn to something beyond the gleaming, flashing lights. It was as if she had taken more than enough substance to charge past her limits. Beside me stood Iris and her boyfriend, engaged in a conversation laced with flirtatious undertones. He shamelessly tried to win her over, while Iris, seemingly tipsy and lightweight, laughed uncontrollably. Just like the model, she stumbled like an idiot, and my eyes widened in shock as I heard something crack, I almost dropped the burning Gauloises.The entire place seemed to synchronise its gasps, stifled laughter, and the model's face was now full of blood, dripping onto the floor. To my surprise, Iris rejected her boyfriend's advances, adding another unexpected twist to the chaotic scene rushing past to aid the falling model’s side.

‘’You’re staring.’’  

I hear a deep, stoic voice say in one ear. 

‘’What?’’ Caught off guard, I respond. 

‘’I said, you’re staring.’’ Repeating his words. He takes the half-burned cigarette and settles it in-between his lips. I can’t believe my eyes won't tear away from his intense gaze. It’s consuming me. 

‘’Way too much.’’

He reminded me so much of…

‘’I was gazing.’’ Sternly, I managed to say.

‘’And?’’ He challenges.

‘’Why are you with Iris? She’s out of your league.’’ 

‘’I keep some women for entertainment purposes.’’ He shrugs in response, a smirk forming upon his lips.

‘’You’re disgusting.” I whisper, secretly intrigued by this. Half-smiling. We both step closer, feeling the tension build around us. I reach into my pocket and hand him a slip of paper with my apartment number written in red. I slip it into his white, golden, and silver ringed palm. As my eyes wander away from Iris' boyfriend, I notice the untouched bottles of champagne on the table. I end up taking one with me as I head back home.

Back at the apartment, I sit, indulging in a delicious tub of ice cream. The bottle of champagne is almost half empty, and I can't help but get swept away by the scenery, glamour, and drama of Gossip Girl. I admire the art of Blair Waldorf her epitome of ambition and determination, always striving at the top, and a little like Serena, effortless with beauty and a free-spirited nature. The one who has it all. But just as the show on the screen reaches its peak, there's an interruption at my door. I get up from the pearly-white and ivory-golden rounded couch, dragging both feet on the white-marbled floor. The timing couldn't be worse. I'm caught off guard, trying to find the right words to navigate this unexpected encounter. 

He would only want one favour from me with his heartless demeanour, add it with a few lines of ketamine and coke and we’re both all over the place. It's a moment of confusion, conflicting emotions, and the lingering question of whether I should let my ex-boyfriend inside. 

And I do, surrendering into his embrace. The door closes.
