*drags myself through the floor and slams this down*

I present to you

FULLMETAL BARTENDERS AVIAN AU

Divine Nugget Au

(Rant as to why I chose the White-throated Needletail as Blurr's bird and some minor AU lore under the cut)

And that's not all! It comes with a FULL FLEDGED COMIC!!!!!

I spent a whole fucking week on this

I haven't done a comic in 4 years now, I can't believe this is my come-back XD. Though, on that note, know that I probably won't be pumping out any more comics - not any time soon, at least. But I do got more stuff planned for this au! If you ask about it, I'll 100% rant about it LOL

Tw// ⚠️mild gore in the 3rd panel⚠️

While exploring the woods with his team, Swerve had an unfortunate encounter with a crazed hunter. In an attempt to escape, he got injured, but it seems he wasn't the only one caught in the crossfire...

.

.

Okay

So when you look up what the fastest bird in the world is, Google with show the Peregrin Falcom

But there's a catch

The Peregrine is only fast when diving

When it dives to catch its prey, it can go up to 389km/h

Which yeah, pretty fast

But when casually flying, it only goes up to 120 iirc

The Needle Tail?

It can go up to 170km/h

Some have even recorded going over 300! (Close to the Falcon's dive, I believe)

Additionally, these birds only fly. Their habitat is literally listed as "the air," and some even believe they sleep while flying! They only ever land to brood and mate, and then they're off again. Their legs are so short that, if they ground, they can't fly again because it doesn't give enough room to flap their wings.

It fits Blurr perfectly!

It also has a blue-ish colour pattern I can work with lol (it's green, but it looks blue, lol)

Though, also, he isn't 100% like the Needle Tail, just based off of it. I still want avians to be sorta their own species and doesn't have to be exactly like their bird counterparts cuz they aren't them, they're their own thing.

That said, Blurr is one of the shortest from Avians population, still.

They're pretty big.

Another trivial detail of the design!

I was stuck between having his arms be his wings or have them be separate

Until I saw a drawing where they had both, and I realised, "Wait, why isn't that done more often! That's so cool!"

So that's sorta what I did

It's mainly to catch small prey when grounded and to stay better perched up on trees since they're much bigger and having extra fingers helps a lot. Or when they're climbing against a tree to pick up fruits, it gives them an extra boost and can better hang from it

But they're pretty much useless besides that lol

Just neat lil design choice

Other lore stuff. The time in which the au takes place is vaguely modern? But with fantasy aspects? I still haven't decided lol

Technology exists, but not in the way we have it sort of deal, idk, this au is pretty bare bones right now, so go wild with it XD I don't mind it, I love brainstorming it with people. I know this au isn't as big or complex as some others out there, but it's fun, and I hope yall like it too fjsjajaj

ahh ace avian vk siblings idea- fran flying above miles taunting him w her smug curtsy and he's just stood under her with a fondly exasperated expression (vk siblings are special to me in case. you couldn't tell)

sibling bonding :]]

(i hope you don’t mind that i drew her other taunting-y pose instead (i already drew her bowing once before))

wordless and chessless version for all ur wordless and chessless needs

Sorry if this is weird but I recently saw some of your Stinky pics on my dash (the slightly more feral/birdy ones) and I'm losing my mind because I too have a weird bothersome brain beast who is red and feathery and shapeshifty with yellow eyes, and I recently drew her in a way that looks bizarrely like Uncle Stinky and I SWEAR I have never once seen your art before just now. I know some people are upset by "character x looks like character y" comparisons so if this is troubling then I'm really sorry to be a bother, but personally I think it's fun as hell when characters serendipitously have lookalikes and I am mentally shaking hands with you and your really cool OC brain beast I love him. (This is the picture I was referring to, for reference: https://www.tumblr.com/quazarshark/767884302977515520 )

I'm not bothered by it at all! I love that we've both got our own funny red birds! Your design is beautiful, I drew the two of them hanging out!

[ quackity's wings are bleeding again. guess he yanked the feathers too hard. fuck, how many goddamn nightmares is he going to have? ]

[rakkuntoast]

Because I'm sick + twisted I've been thinking about Bugza and it kinda hit me with the idea of like. If bugza is an elytrian (not sure if this is your hc but. treat it as a hypothetical here), then what if all the critters in the end, including the ender dragon and the ender king in this case had bug-like features? endermen and the dragon look almost beetle-like and have exoskeletons, endermites are larvae, shulkers are like gastropods.... The ender king being bug-like too, maybe being some godly version of an elytrian is cool to me... If that was the case then the person in this world that closest resembles his own anatomy is Phil. I think he'd fucking HATE THAT.

okay wait actually guppy you're cooking with this

ik a lot of ppl (me included) give ender beings more of a mammal look but i did not think about them being bug like. like what the hell are endermites anyway, why do they spawn from ender pearls if not being bug egg....

i think ender looking like a sick ass praying mantis would be cool as hell, but also damn the only other bug-like being in this world is this annoying guy who keeps pillaging my kingdom maybe i should do something about that actually (insert theory of hc!phil being ender's sucessor or some shit like that idk lmao)

as for bugza being elytran idk for me he's just bug... if i were to give him some depth i would say he's his own kind?, since we know that hc!phil is just a line of reincarnations then bugza would be the one that goes wrong and instead of bird its bug. BUUUUUT it would be some level of fucked up that he holds some resemblance to ender

[weekly-wingmits]

barn owl pearl pretty please? she fits barn owls so good and theres never enugh for me lol

...looking at my art folder and realizing I apparently really like this wing pose or something

Ask box is open!

[loonarmuunar]

[avianwofdesigns]

Could I request maybe a redesign for Peacemaker?

I like making Peacemaker/Darkstalker have just big eyes Itty pupils, it's genuinely so fun.

How'd dustin prince manage to die in the bird retelling??

dustin princes lives au

happy early dustin prince birthday 🎉🎉 (sept 6)

Funnily enough, I've thought about how so many cases would change to work with wings, but somehow forgot (fitting for 2-1) about one where the cause of death is falling

so the biggest different is wellington originally plans to cause brain damage/memory loss/kill with a hit to the head. fire extinguisher can be switched for any heavy item if you so please

so ummmmmm here’s what happened

(eventually ends up being pushed over the railing, just like as in canon, and is unable to slow the fall enough with just the one wing)

richard wellington is my favorite not-very-smart one trick pony 💙💙💙 (i’m sorry my king, dustin prince, for making your death so comical 🤎🤎).

TLDR: Murder goes the same as canon, but wellington breaks prince’s wing before pushing him.

thank you for the ask lol !

Btw, Prince is a house sparrow, and Wellington is a common blackbird. He bleaches a stripe in his wings just like his bangs. both are just common birds (much to wellingtons chagrin)

seriously whenever he comes on screen im like “oh my god. I hate him soso much he’s so stupid I love him (deeply affectionate voice)”

-hihello

[quackity1999]

[ OOC: ok last OOC note for a bit i think. i will politely remind that i don't ship q on this blog. PRETTY PLEEEASE read my original pinned for the reasonings as to why :3

but i also wanna clarify that the whole q & eret "arc" is entirely platonic due to the above. plus i believe its 100% more fascinating than just. repeating history 😎😎💪

all pre-existing relations are still canon. but q is still healing from karlnapity wounds that man doesnt fuckin Care for love anymore /lh ]

[twomanyfandomshelp]

I love him, he looks so cool!

I love your art style so much! It’s very cute 🥰

For the fanon swap, do you think we could get cyborg or avian Joel? He’s my favorite!

ANNNDDDD IM BACK WITH FANON SWAP POST LMAO
