♥ Welcome to ANGELtown!!

♥ What is this blog about? ♥

This is a simple little ask blog for my Deltarune Angel!Player AU. Most of this blog will be silly and fun, but there may be some lore sprinkled in here and there.

Click here for the lore specific masterpost Click here for the asks masterpost (messy/slightly outdated) Click here for the FAQ (coming soon)

♥ Characters ♥

The main characters of this ask blog are Angel and Kris. Other characters may show up from time to time but most asks should be directed to Angel and Kris.

Kris uses they/them pronouns ONLY in this AU

Angel uses any pronouns but typically goes by they/them

Most asks will be answered in character. It's important to note that Angel's dialogue will always have a little heart at the front of it and will typically be written in red text.

♥ Like this!!

Kris however does not have the little heart. (So if you see them talking with a heart, that's not them speaking)

♥ Rules and Boundaries ♥

I accept in character and out of character asks, however there are some rules about the content of said asks.

No NSFW

Please keep topics light. Yes there may be some darker themes in the lore/story but I don't want to delve too deep into that kind of stuff.

Please do not spam the ask box. I may be slow to respond sometimes but I promise I will get to you eventually, so please be patient

I have the right to reject an ask if I feel that it's inappropriate

Meme and non-lore ooc asks will be ignored. However you are welcome to send them to my main @marshiemonarch

Try to specify who your ask is for. If not specified I'll assume it's for Angel or a group ask depending on context.

♥ Fanart ♥

If y'all make fanart you can send it by:

tagging this blog or my main @marshiemonarch

Sending it via the ask box

using the #angels game au tag

I’m more likely to see the first two options

♥ Other Info ♥

More info will be added as time goes on.

This blog is run by @marshiemonarch

Interestingly, despite claiming that the Quack Pack is non-canon and its own thing, it still appears partially in the comics, possibly showing a possible future. By the way, this is from the comic "Paperinik e i crimini virtuali" from October 1, 1998, written and drawn by Stefano De Lellis. Admittedly, it's about an ordinary Duck Avenger (Paperinik) wondering what his future holds and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck appear as teenagers about to go to college. Yes, this may be the only time in the Italian comics that the Quack Pack version of Donald's nephews appear there, but again, it's good to know. Isn't it?

They just messed up maybe the designs and colors. I guess you recognize who is who. Although I prefer the original and true version of the Quack Pack this is how they appeared in the comic in the first place. Even if it was a non-canon future, I wish it had come up a little more often. I mean the teenage version of Donald's nephews.

Day 25: Parody

ONCE UPON A midnight dreary,

While Dean slumbered, drunk and weary,

While his little brother Sammy

Was consumed by ancient lore,

Suddenly, there came a flapping,

Followed by familiar tapping,

Then by more insistent rapping,

Rapping at the motel door--

Just the wind, or something more?

Quickly, lest the knocks come louder,

Sam was up around the counter,

All his ancient books abandoned

As he staggered 'cross the floor.

To the peephole, tense and fearing,

Through the darkness closely peering,

Searching out the source of knocking

Just beyond the motel door--

There stood Castiel the whore

Dean, shut up, you are not helping!

This is stupid. Poems're boring!

If you have to steal somebody's

Style, why this depressing bore?

Guess who's getting laid no more.

Thanks a lot, jerk! Shut up, Sammy!

Can I come in yet? Fine and dandy.

Look, I get it. Slogging through this

Rhyming scheme is quite a chore,

But I have a prompt to fill, here!

So what's the prompt? If it was clear--

You'd still be giving me more trouble

Trying to get the porn that's in store!

To this, the boys said nothing more.

How Gem the Slayer became a Knight of Camelot (Chapter 1):

Original fic. (Check it out it's amazing I swear to god it's so so so good it infected my brain)

Next chapter (sometime soon) ;)

So I made this while away from my computer, hence why it's traditional and with watercolours. Now, however, I'm back home, so I'm considering changing it up to digital for the next chapters. The benefits would be more colours and easier to fix mistakes, but it would lose the texture that watercolour paper lends it.

Hold Fast by hoc_voluerunt / @cuddlytogas

Stede Bonnet is free at last, and on his way back to his love. As "Captain Thomas Edwards", he'll learn a lot about sailing and emotional availability, and perhaps even make a name for himself as the man either brave or foolish enough to hunt the legendary Blackbeard. But rumour has it that Blackbeard may be the opposite of welcoming, if and when he ever catches up... Obligatory overly-long post-season 1 reunion fix-it fic, feat. slow burn reconciliation, more historical accuracy than you wanted, and plenty of piratical action.

hiii it's florian and welcome back to: i read things i knew i'd hate so others don't have to suffer!

today we are describing stormwatch vol 3 (2011-2014)!

reasons why this was a no-good very bad icky yucky wucky fucker:

• swift and doctor were fucking erased from existence and didn't survive the transfer!

• engineer evil arc (not clickbait)!

• ruined the origins of apollo, midnighter, jack hawksmoor, and engineer! ex; no mention of jack being a result from repeated alien abduction/experimentation, angie becoming engineer was a result of experimentation rather than her choice, alien experimentation rather than u.n. government experimentation for mid and apollo.

• martian manhunter evil arc (also not clickbait)! ruined pre-established martian lore!

• what they had in hellstrike's backstory.

• had mid try to kill jenny quantum and later on say he wish he was successful and should try again!

• killed jenny quantum, brought her back, erased her from existence, brought her back, and erased her again! (i am not shitting you this is exactly what happened)

• tying into the above, nobody seems to fucking care that jenny quantum is gone! they for 99% of this comic were fucking awful to jenny quantum!

• lobo! i just hate him.

• harry tanner! i also just hate him not only as a character but they kept making all of angie's woes about this stupid bastard!

• kept beating into the ground with the first writer and continuing it to the next and next writers that midnighter and apollo aren't together. that they aren't friends, just colleagues. he quote 'hardly knows him at all' but they proceed to somehow queerbait the canon gay married couple they un-married! that's right, they did that! it took until the final issues to illude to them finally dating (again)! it took until 2023 pride to have them married! AGAIN!

• too many fucking batman mentions that show him on panel! if i wanted to read about batman, I WOULD BE READING ABOUT BATMAN.

• one arc fucked with red lantern lore i'm pretty sure

• zealot's appearance in it was not kind to her!

• destroyed stormwatch established lore thereby destroying the lore for all stormwatch members

• literally no wildcats or gen 13 mention.

• how they wrote apollo. his characterization, acknowledging on one hand that yeah he's strong as superman but they keep having him literally keel over from everything and having to be rescued by midnighter again and again, calling him yet again stupid and too emotional, making him bothered by mid killing (despite that this apollo's introduction has him do literally that but that they ignored/suddenly he don't kill no more and condemns it), etc.

• apollo's short blond hair and midnighter's awful chin spike.

• every single plot in this i am fairly certain an infant could do better writing. they could do it with actual quality writing without any racism or homophobia that stormwatch vol 3 very fucking much has and i cannot begin to tell you how much that pisses me off. i am sick of seeing racism in comics for fuck's sake. i am sick of seeing homophobia in comics.

[battle-of-alberta]

Are we gonna get any angsty backstories for the Albertans? I feel like at least one of them has to have a sad past

hi! sorry! hi!

another ask that kept me awake at night trying to parse. it's not you its me i promise i just tend to overthink things like this to the nth degree and well, if i can't find my way through it i will at least find my way around it and give an explanation! I'd much rather do this than just delete or leave an ask unanswered, so I hope that's ok.

re: ed, I've hinted several times at his angsty past throughout the blog and even ramble about it vaguely on main. If it's something you're interested in, I am putting almost all of my energy these days into creating an exhibition on it that you can see if you're in town this summer, so it's been on my mind a LOT lately. The actual details of his angsty past are a little in flux since its been a good decade since the plotline was first established by Quatsch and I, but I'm happy to clarify what I can for anyone interested. I just like to be cagey and vague about these things :)

ed obviously is my most developed character, not to say that the others aren't capable of angst but just that I spend a disproportionate amount of my time thinking about Edmonton history for both personal and professional reasons!

The Witch Boy: A Book Recommendation

So, I bought some books from the closest Books a Million and came across this adorable, fun little graphic novel.

“The Witch Boy” centers around a boy named Aster living in a world rich in shapeshifters and witches. Per tradition, boys grow up as shapeshifters and girls grow up as witches— no exceptions of the contrary. But, Aster has other interests and wishes to pursue witchcraft despite this tradition. Through the story he meets a spunky human girl named Charlie, whom he quickly becomes friends with. Along the way, the threat of his sudden missing family members and demons hang over him.

I adore this little graphic novel. Finished it in under an hour. It’s a nice little fantasy story. I really wished it was longer, actually. I’d love to see more of this world’s magic system, it seems fascinating! I’d definitely dabble in shapeshifting as a girl, lol. It’s got some fun characters and wholesome little LGBTQ+ nods. Also there’s a brief Steven Universe cameo and I just—

Charlie and Aster are such wholesome friends. Again, I wish this story were longer. I wanna see more of these characters and learn more about them and their personalities. It’s got a “big family” dynamic going on and I love those in fictional works. :3

Anyhow, this is a little book recommendation for this sweet little graphic novel. :)

EDIT: THERE’S TWO MORE BOOKS I NEED THEM NOOOWWW! Read tags to see me descend into madness.

Siblings and Questions Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @topazadine! I really enjoyed a look into your characters here! i'm gonna do this for the only two sibling characters i have to date that are both still living and also not a complete spoiler but this will be their first introduction! say hello to Hauk and Hesperos!

1. Who looks the most like Dad?

So they're actually not blood related! Hesperos was adopted into Hauk's family after being lost at sea. Hauk and his family are all Water Mages from Vizia, while Hesperos is a Sky Mage from Pelyra

2. Who looks the most like mom?

See above

3. Who eats the most?

Hesperos. Without question. Sky Mages are broken into 8 clans: one for each of the Sky God's children, and Hesperos is from the clan dedicated to the Sky's oldest daughter, the Goddess of Lightning, Khrou, His clan is extremely dedicated to their magic, as Khrou's power is difficult to wield, so Hesperos has a much deeper well of magic, thus needs more energy. Although Hauk is also a Mage, his is a more passive part of his life.

4. Who has been in the weirdest situations?

Hesperos. Not only is his young life marked by betrayal and pain, he's an absolute ham as an adult. Like a theater kid on steroids. Drama to the Nth degree. The crazy stories he could tell would melt the face off a lesser man. Unless Hauk's father is nearby in which, he doesn't know what an alcohol is at all, no sir.

5. Who sleeps the most?

This is really becoming Hesperos' post. With great power comes a great need to take a nap. He burns more calories asleep than a human would running a marathon for the same amount of time. Lots of food. Lots of sleep.

7. Most stable romantic life?

Now it's Hauk's turn! It is a tight race, though. Neither are exactly playboys, but Hesperos' two serious relationships were a bit tumultuous. Hauk's only been in one, and it seems like it's stuck.

8. Worst habit of each one?

If you asked each other, Hauk would tell you Hesperos' worst trait is deflecting anything that might look like confrontation or giving too much of himself away with humor. Hesperos would tell you Hauk's worst trait it stealing his hairbrush. (But it's actually taking on everyone's problems like they're his own.)

9. Who's the most dramatic?

Hesperos. No doubt. A running gag in his house is- Hesperos (who has been abandoned lost at sea, nearly drowned, and spent most of his childhood being a foreigner who could hardly speak the common language with people who didn't understand his culture, after finding out a dinner party was canceled): this is the worst day of my life Hauk and his father, exasperated: No it isn't.

10. Who had a weird phase?

Outside of normal teenage weirdness, neither, really.

11. Best cook of the family?

Hauk. He hates doing it, though. If pressed, he'd rather bake, but even then, he finds the whole thing boring and rather not worth it.

12. Best memory together?

Their first meeting. At a festival, where the Ocean god took the wishes of his people out to sea to return those desires to land, Hauk wished for the only thing he ever wanted. A little brother. Hauk's mother died in childbirth, and his father swore he'd never take another wife, so he didn't have the heart to tell his son, a brother simply wasn't in the cards. Half a year later, Hauk's father rescued Hesperos off the last vestiges of his broken raft. At first, he tried to find someone else who had the ability to take young Hesperos in. He was a single father already, and Hesperos was a traumatized child who spoke almost no Common and who'd let no one near him.....except Hauk. The first time they met, Hauk in all his innocense and naivete, brought Hesperos sweets, because "the morning maids always bake the best sweet breads, but you have to get them while they're still warm." For someone who'd only seen cruelty for months on end, Hesperos decided immediately that Hauk was an ally and a friend. After that, they were inseparable. One night, when tucking Hauk into bed, his father found them both in Hauk's room, Hesperos under the covers asleep while Hauk read to him from a book. Hauk asked if it was okay for him to sleep with him that night, and Hauk's father said just for the night, already doubting his resolve on not taking him in. Watching his son tuck the other little boy in, he couldn't help but ask, "You really love him, don't you?" to which Hauk replied, "Of course I do. He's my little brother. The Ocean brought him to me." Hauk's father officially took Hesperos in as his ward shortly after.

13. Worst memory together?

Mmmmmmmmmmmthats a spoiler. Second worst is the night Hesperos almost died and that's about all i can say about that incident too.

14. Dream trip together

Growing up with someone who has a Shadow Mage as a father figure, they've heard so many stories of the Ixoryn Marshes. They've both always wanted to go to Proussaux Suprae during the Parade of Dead Kings to see the fate of the Shadow King that given decade.

15. Would you rather not be able to shower for a month or have the same clothes for a month?

Hauk: the same clothes. Not being able to bathe would go against his religious obligations. Hesperos: is disgusted you would ask either of him. Genuinely weighs which is worse: being stinky or being boring. Eventually agrees with his brother.

16. Who's the older one?

Hauk, but by Mage standards, not by a whole lot.

17. Describe each other in three words

Hauk of Hesperos: vain, loyal, dramatic Hesperos of Hauk: steady, kind, patient

18. Role model?

Hauk's is his father. He trained under him to take over the family estate and it's business. He values his father's patience, resilience, and level head. Hesperos' is his grandfather. The once head of their clan, Hesperos believes his grandfather was the most honorable leader since the start of their history.

19. Who usually has the worst ideas?

This depends entirely on which brother is in current possession of the shared brain cell. I often think of the line from The Prince of Egypt, paraphrased "You were always getting us into trouble. Then again, you were always there to get us out of it."

20. A GIANT insect is on the wall, who's taking care of it?

Depends on the insect. If it's a like big gross beetle, Heperos will use his magic to blow it out the window. If it's a spider, and they're visiting a particular one of Hauk's father's business partners, they'll very surreptitiously get rid of it in whatever way is quieter so a particular someone doesn't see it.

this took a little longer than i'd like because work and then today i did a lot of house work that still needed to be done from the move. but! there they are. i'll taggggggg

@illarian-rambling @spideronthesun @emrowene and i'll leave the tag open if anyone else wants to! please tag me if you do!
