#because the canon timeline is so crazy messy!

[tarlosmalec]

I’ve been rewatching everything Tarlos related to figure out their birthdays. But so far I’ve only gathered that TK could be 25-26 in season 1 and that he’s a December baby.

Tarlos fam, any idea how old Carlos is?

Did we (I mean our entire fandom) choose the dates for their birthdays??

Help me out please!

I’m tagging you guys for some help here, feel free to ignore if you’re not interested. Sorry and thanks!

(paceplace) / honestly ttcc writing is very messy i agree. i love the game to bits and dissecting it but the flaws in it are as enriching to pick apart as it is frustrating to discover. it really, truly does break my heart that toons aren't as appreciated as the cogs and i wish there were toon characters you could focus on in the same way the mgrs are. the NPCs you meet along the taskline are charming and i adore every single one of them but as much as i personally like them i don't think its enough to capture people's attention in the broad sense.

irt my qualms w/ how ttcc handles its game i think one of the many main issues boils down to the fact that they're disorganized. their issue w/ how lore has been distributed has been addressed twice by the team itself iirc (once in th same tweet where they confirmed fire\\setter as canon and once in their writers backstage post from around a yr ago). their writers backstage post helped give a little more perspective on why the lore was scattered around Like That.

as all over the place as the lore is, i do feel it's important to mention that they said in their backstage writers post they plan on eventually migrating all of their social media comics to the website so things like the rain\\diver comic is very likely to still be canon they just haven't added it in yet. idk why they don't add it around the same time its posted on social media my guess is maybe they're still trying to organize all the lore or redo some of it since its so all over the place (a couple of the comics we have rn on their website that are considered canon has info that was technically retconned) but yeah. i have hope that the way they handle their lore and (hopefully!) their taskline when they get around to rewriting it will improve in the later updates. i try very hard to stay on top w/ clash's lore esp since i have ppl come to me w/ questions regarding clash's story, characters, etc. but sometimes it is Very headache-inducing so i sympathize w/ how confusing/frustrating it is to a casual player. or just any lore-enjoyer tbf. i swear on my life i almost went crazy trying to make a timeline with btl

anyways you don't have to answer this if you don't want (i gen. apologize for the wall of text i really tried to get straight to the point w/ what i'm saying. and even then there's still a lot i wanted to say) but i'm really glad to see discussions on it. oftentimes criticism gets mistaken for hate and it shuts the entire convo which Peeves me. even if w/e's being criticized turns out to fall flat its better to address or talk about it than it is to not, imo.

Yes, exactly! I agree with all the points you've made here.

It's so strange to me that ttcc doesn't really lean into more how the cogs affect the toons, or toon society for all that matter, its a wonder people are so baised with cogs because we really dont get anything about toons. Their less part of the game and more set peices for this war, which sucks!

Theres obviously alot more room to write about toon lore and it would be easier to implement it in game, yet it gets brushed aside to further characterize the cogs and thats sad bc alot of the toons are cute and unique! Ttcc has great toon designs!

I also have to agree with the way the lore is handled, id even go as far to say big updates themsleves are handled in a frankly. Unprofessional manner. I mean, compare the update live streams done in jokey powerpoint slides to ttrs panles where they talk about progress on the updates. We really get little to no inside information until it's already ready to drop. Sure the game updates more regularly but all these updates are starting to feel like filler and padding. I at least can hope that hammerspace and mix and match at least come with some toon lore?

Its a shame that alot of what drew me into this game ends up weighing it down : (

Also yeah lol i didnt main tag this for a reason i do want to keep the discussion open! But all great points!

The way I engage with fandom is by posting art mostly and being happy that ppl like/enjoy my creations, and hoping ppl would stay around. And that should be it because I'm not cut out for talking, one person can only do this much.

I do jump to conclusions too fast for many things out of frustration/anger, and feel sorry for things I have said and the things I do wrong without realizing it. I made the post bc it makes sense to me and the topic has troubled me for a while.

The problem is DC's continuity is messy and the long history of stories for characters is carried out by different writers, and the canon is more flexible in comics. So the dc fandom I see sometimes is pretty much as intense and confusing on canon and fanon, thus creates a divide between people who leaning towards source material and people who mostly rely on fan(second hand) contents (Not inherently bad, but I feel like comic fandom is more intensely having disagreements on character's age and canon contents than other fandoms I had been in before).

I know the fact that multi-shipping, and crack-shipping are not intentionally harmful things, and ppl are free to do it with their own headcanons and adding nuances and so on. Like I personally multi ship batcat and brutalia, I'm not that interest in crack ships unless is bringing by people who loves both characters and have the passion to create it (all excluding pro shipping/pro shipper btw💀).

Being in dc fandom for too long and seeing some recurrent things/behaviors/made-up, misleading stuff from people who are not fans/regular people who had done some sort of research to begin with, and me not being able to put it into words about all the unbearable stuff going around is driving me crazy and started to talk nonsense in my head.

I try to avoid ship war but on Twitter is hard not to see some stuff/cross platforms reposts going on on the timeline. Tumblr ppl use block more so ppl don't like the stuff they see just block, for me I post art and only check flatline tag from time to time (I do block ppl now). Not help my case that I learned how to use Twitter to interact with ppl first more than Tumblr (I'm not a reblog-heavy person).

At first, I tried to only post art because that's just what I usually do with my Tumblr account when being in other fandoms. But I only do fanart still feels not enough to bring ppl in fandom to care for Nika or discuss her in long-term good faith, at least on Tumblr I don't see much before 2024 (I get ppl would change fandom and don't keep the commitment that long).

I admit I don't feel like the best at talking/chitchat, it's easier for me to plan my next drawing instead of wracking my brain choosing the right words to say in English. But then I have the useless feeling that I only do petty art and have no thoughts or emotions in my brain because I don't talk much. And sometimes feeling worse cuz all I draw and talk about is Nika (she consumes my brain and time and it's still worth it to me).

Bat family and Damian fandom exist and already have fans talking about them long before Nika had any fans or fandom for her. Twitter (my mutuals) has been slowly building it, and then here's me on Tumblr barely holding it together, or presenting my thoughts for her cohesively in text forms after 2022. Yet I still have the constant feeling that I'm not doing enough outside of drawing.

And if I don't, hardly have someone who would put up with a small fandom (three to ten ppl max) with the lack of official content (two years in between hiatus for her to come back), and bear the dunked-on from the already existing big fandom (plus ships war)constantly.

So this is me when I started to draw Flatline(Nika) since 2021 ↓

I'm happy now Nika has more fans than used to be. Maybe I won't be as anxious and worried that ppl would misread Nika or take fanon off the rail too much.

Just found out that one person who wants to talk about shipping Nika with Maps has drawn baby Damian in a cage💀

And you expect me to be chill on that information?

(Obviously I'm talking about Nika, cause I'm a Flatline fan. No scratch that, GET A JOB!! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!)

Even if you ship Nika with Maps my expectations of your fanon are lower than hell (because you only start talking about them solely for dry shipping, not considering the characters' current state and situations in canon aka you don't care)

Good fanon/projections: 🔺Think for the characters, expanding their interests from the given canon information (I'm talking about working around it because you care for the characters, and you would recognize if there is any awful writing from the racist writer and putting it to rest). 🔺Add your own interests to the characters bc you feel deeply related to them and love them. 🔺Building up their relationship with their family, friends and lovers with care. 🔺Making interesting AU for them to build more for the characters, centralize their relationship with other characters, and have fun stringing the canon information to the AU situation and adding more nuances.

Bad fanon/projections: 🔻Racist stereotypes repackaged as a joke or a gag. 🔻Putting them in weird situations for the sake of angst and intentionally/unintentionally putting a harmful light on other characters (when in canon they would not doing all that sh!t). 🔻Proshipping (incest, pedophile)

Not really apply to crossover fanon (the type that involves other characters from another fandom) on the canon part, cause it usually ignores canon in multiple degrees on the get-go, and the reason why I'm not that interested/invested in it

Hi, just out of curiosity, what do you think is the birth order of the entire third generation?

Well, I don't have it all figured out but I'll show you what I got.

In red there are the ones we canonically know.

1998 - Edward Lupin - April

2000 - Victoire Weasley - 2nd of May (technically it's canon that she's born in the early 2000s, could be 2001, but seeing the timeline of her relationship with Teddy, it's basically canon that she is born in the year 2000)

2002 - Dominique Weasley

2003 - Molly Weasley - we know she is at least one year older than Albus and Rose because Percy is at the platform in the Epilogue but not with them and if it was Molly's first year it would be weird. For how I built Percy and Audrey's story in my head, they marry after Harry and Ginny but have a kid before them

end 2003/2004 - James Potter - I don't have the exact date but James is an April aries, it's a hill I'm ready to die on (also if Ginny got pregnant in July 2003 then she could end cleanly her career with the Harpies without having to stop mid-season)

2005 - Louis Weasley - I was half tempted to put him in James' year but he isn't there in the Epilogue with James and Harry and Ginny already have the perfect two years-two years gaps with their three kids so I wanted to change it a bit

end 2005/2006 - Rose Weasley - she gives me autumn vibes Idk why

end 2005/2006 - Albus Potter - he gives me winter 2006 vibes, I kind of like the idea of Albus being born on Valentine's Day actually but it's not a headcanon set in stone at the moment

2007 - Lucy Weasley - She is the most up for debate. I really see Percy and Audrey waiting a bit to have another child, yet I keep thinking that Percy would have the trauma of the big age gap between him and Charlie. But I also really like the idea of one of Percy's kids growing up with one of George's.

2007 - Fred Weasley - I know everyone gives him James' age but George is not in the Epilogue, I don't understand the logic of mentioning Percy but not George if George was there. Also, the George in my head has some very tough years after the war and his relationship with Angelina is really messy for some years

end 2007/2008 - Lily Potter - I don't really have a specific month but she gives me warm vibes, maybe June (Harry and Ginny are both born right before being too young and having to go in the younger school year, so in my head, none of the Potters can be born between September and December. Yes, I am crazy but if you think about it long enough it starts making sense)

2008 - Hugo Weasley - Everybody always assumes that he is Lily's age but we technically don't know. In TCC he's not shown to be sorted when Lily is, but the idea of Hugo and Lily being in the same year is so rooted in my brain at this point that I usually just go with it

2009 - Roxanne Weasley

+ Bonus:

2010 - Lorcan and Lysander Scamander

[revengemicrowave]

okay, so you can pry Viperion and Tigress outta my cold dead hands, but. Hear me out. Tiger!Luka would have been a pretty obvious love rival to Chat Noir. Taller, older (fightmeAstrucIsweartoGOD), more mature / coughrespectsboundaries, a tiger vs a kitty cat, with a similar but ?flashier power...then he turns round and flirts with Chat too like the biking bi-king he is hwehhwehhweh

Perhaps it’s a little too cliche, but eh.

Edit: Damnit, forgot to mention. If Luka was a January/February baby and over 2 years older than Juleka, he’d be year of the tiger too, as Marinette says she’s year of the snake in Ikari Gozen.

Anyway, Zephyre: Viperion is Viper + Hyperion, and assuming it’s BOTH a Greek titan and poetry reference, I blended Zephyrus - Greek god of West wind to whom tigers are sacred - and the spelling of ‘Tyger, Tyger, burning bright’ from Blake’s The Tyger. Then just move the y to ‘fyre’ for the ‘burning bright’ and also because Couffaine means ‘from the coffin’ and pyres tend to refer to funerals...and bastardise the lot into one word :D also because gimme Greek epic and Romantic poetry nerd Luka ty x

I’ve got a bunch of sketches for Vipress Verde* and for Zephyre with some ideas for the gauntlet and all, but they’re so messy and I don’t get much time to clean them up T__T

*I know it isn’t perfect French, but it sounds good to me shhhh. And also if my dear darling Juleka went with ‘Tigress Poupre’ I’m assuming she’s the direct one and Luka overthinks.

Alsoalso I started a fic in annoyance at S4, but now it’s over 60k words and figuring out the date timeline in this show is driving me crazy. The few canon dates for reference make it WORSE

[yikeshereiam]

wait what’s your theory?

I am so glad you asked me this anon! Please enjoy this whole Beacon Hills conspiracy.

I should warn you in advance that the explanation is very messy and was created by myself and my friend's absolute spiralling over the inconsistencies in Theo's storyline to the point where Theo Raeken Hale was born.

But anyway.

So right off the bat, here's some basic, somewhat weird coincidences. Theo and Malia both go missing at around the same age, their birthdays are within days of each other, and their respective accidents both take place in the preserve (or at least, I think that's where Malia's car was found? if not, let's just go with it anyway.)

Then, in addition to that, we know that Peter Hale slept around back in the day, the Hales have a history of hiding pregnancies/kids and the Dread Doctors have a history of altering/erasing memories. So there really is no telling what other events in the Beacon Hills timeline have been changed (and who Peter has spent his time with.)

And then we have the question of what made Theo so special.

He actually, in canon events, had no childhood sickness and wasn't a genetic chimera to begin with like the other chimeras made later in the show. And the Dread Doctors later admit that they didn't even view Theo as something purely good, eliminating the whole corruption arc/narrative that could be used to explain why they intentionally sought out this random nine year old for their scheme.

This leads us to wonder whether or not Theo was actually patient zero. As in he was the original werewolf, and his DNA was the DNA used in the other chimeras (because yes, it could've been the Beast's DNA, but, it could logically also have been someone else's.)

The Dread Doctors wanted a Hale, and who better than one they didn't want themselves? A baby hidden because he was the child of a human and a werewolf (which would make him a genetic chimera, if my google research is correct) and it explains why there was a (theorised) detachment between Theo and his own family. Tara included. He was an affair baby.

Something that furthers the whole 'Theo is a born werewolf' thing is the fact that he can full shift. In the show, bitten werewolves can't full shift at all and we're told it's pretty rare to see a born werewolf full shift too.

It's also explained that full shifts are usually brought on by a traumatic event or strong emotions (like almost dying (Derek), grief and guilt (Malia) or getting kidnapped by crazy, immortal scientists (Theo)).

So yes, the Dread Doctors may have messed with his DNA, but he was still born a werewolf, and he doesn't lose certain abilities just because they decided to play God.

Also sort of removes the possibility that a lot of Theo's body parts aren't actually his, because it is one of the only other explanations for him to have that ability. (which is pretty gruesome, in retrospect.)

Hayden is a werejagaur originally, and while you could just say its due to a lack of experience, it's never stated whether she or any of the other chimeras have the same ability that Theo does. Aside from a tail, Tracey doesn't even end up a full Kanima at any point.

And for all we know, the entire Tara story could've been fabricated by the Dread Doctors to try and manipulate Theo into remaining in their captivity. The idea that they can alter/hide/erase memories is something that was severely under explored in the show. Like almost everything else to do with that storyline.

Or maybe it did happen and that's what triggered his shift. (which is what the Doctors were hoping for.)

The Hales have an extensive amount of secret relatives no one knows about but them. Cora, Malia, Derek's son Eli. It's not farfetched to assume there's more out there.

Plus, if you stare at Shelley and Cody long enough, they sort of look related.

What do you think of the MCU worldbuilding regarding Asgard and the other realms?

as a fic writer who has been doing all that Asgard and Nine Realms worldbuilding from scratch, hoo boy, what's in canon across three movies makes not...ZERO sense, but has enough open space to go in any number of ways, and is SPECTACULARLY inconsistent

which, like, is great for me as a fic writer because it means I get to make it all up from the scraps of information we got onscreen and if I do it, then it will actually make sense, but it's a wee bit frustrating. but honestly I'd rather I get this freedom to do it from near-scratch and build off the bits and pieces from canon. (the great thing about Asgard and the Nine Realms being presented SO inconsistently is that I can go hog-wild with my worldbuilding brain.)

some pretty incoherent rambling below the break

I don't want to do like...a whole lot of meta worldbuilding because I'd rather keep it to be used in fic in drips and drabs rather than blurted out (and because not all of it is set right now). what I want to do is balance Asgard as something similar to a real world(-ish) imperial power but also in a very real way as, you know, they are literally gods and I'm not going to class them as exactly operating with the same socio-cultural standards or perceptions as I would a real world imperial power. when we see Asgard in the main timeline, they're late stage -- they've pulled back from open conquest or direct rule, but are still actively engaged in some amount of economic control as well as military protection. In my fic to date I always specifically label the actual formal status of the Nine Realms as the "Protectorate of the Nine Realms" (which does seem to be supported by canon -- I mean, I don't think canon uses the term "protectorate," but the way Asgard apparently functions in its defense of Vanaheim and Nidavellir, and the criticism of Asgard failing at its duty when Thor goes on his Jotunheim rampage in the first movie, the aftermath of the destruction of the Bifrost, the times we see Asgard interfering on Earth (Captain Marvel drives me crazy on this point), etc.).

for Morning, I wanted to push Hela's exile and thus her context as far back as I felt I comfortably could so that she was still operating at a point when Asgard's empire was not quite set in stone yet, at a point where Asgard was still sort of messy and really more into the conqueror stage. I think by the present day, pre-Ragnarok, there's a general galactic perception of Asgard being a has-been, but in Hela's time, the rest of the galaxy was like "wow! they're crazy. stay away from THEM." (so, like, in Roman terms, Bor's war with the Dark Elves was the rough equivalent of the Punic Wars where we were starting to really get into massive expansion ~by accident (it's never an accident, bro); Hela was running around during the conquest period of the High Empire; Odin and the boys' present day of the films is like...fifth century messiness of the late Roman Empire. (this is the period I actually specialize in so hoo boy do I not want to make that exact comparison, I know too much and it's really not equivalent.))

*flips hand* basically, canon gave me just enough rope to hang myself with, and as a scholar who specializes in Roman imperialism it's fun to play with.

(Requested) Hawks x reader

@chxcolxtemilk: Can I get an imagine with Hawks where the reader is his gf, and she got a BODY. She’s hourglass, slim thicc. Anyways. So during that intern arc where Bakugou and todoroki are like interning with Endeveour and it’s like a meeting and the work students are there and they all think reader fine af, but like mineta takes it overboard and hawks gets protective. Especially since readers hero costume shows off her curves please! Have a nice day ❤️

I read “slim thick” reader and my eyes went 👀👀👀-also sorry if this is a little wonky in the canon timeline cause my brain can’t function 😂😂

⤷Word Count: 1200+ (?-Im just guessing here sidfnsdifiw)

⤷Warnings: Pervy Mineta, cursing, the usallllll

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ

Hawks stood in the back of the room, his arms crossed around his lean yet sturdy body, a smirk gracing his lips as he watched you speak with a loud welcoming voice to the newbies.

Hero schools across the nation were starting up their students for internships with hero agencies, and UA was no different. Countless teachers from that high school were shuffling their kids into agencies, and it was one of your duties to greet the students that were about to enter their internships for the other pros. It saved alot of time when one hero told the kids the do’s and don’ts of their internship, so you had sorta graciously took the role (you had lost a match of Rock Paper Scissors to Hawks and you were fuming).

Only you could make public speaking interesting to him-especially when you were in your hero suit (even if it sounded pretty perverted).

He couldnt help himself from letting his eyes wander around your frame- you were dating after all, it wasnt like you wouldnt want him to...but damn was that hero suit a blessing to his eyes. Whoever designed it, he wished he could perosnally thank them for making it so perfectly sexy on your frame.

 Your quirk relied on you to show a little more skin, as you needed to physically touch things in order to activate it. Which made it the perfect for Hawks (and others) to gawk at your curvacious figure- deep swoops on your chest, high cuts against your leg that showed off your hips, an expanse of the soft skin of your thigh….it was absolutely tantalizing to him and left his whole body throbbing every time he saw you in your suit.

Hawks felt his heart thump in his chest from the back of the room as he watched you bend down, apparently having dropped a piece of paper on the floor.

How you bent down gave the best view of your chest-the mounds pushed up so delciosuly he licked his lips from the sight- and then the nervous, innocent laugh you gave as you fiddled with your hair- god, you really just the most beautiful little birdie, werent you?

Hawks loveisck grin quickly melted away when he heard a slow whistle come from the seat in fornt of him- apparently somebody else found his little chickadee pretty too…

Immeidately Hawks felt his the feathers on his back ruffle- he usually wasnt protective at all, as long as  everyone knew that you were his and his only.

But oh, the moment he got a whiff of someone trying to flirt or be smitten with you-he immeidately did a 180, becoming fussy and dominant as he shielded you or sent the person a death glare behind a strained smile. 

“...could you imagine snuggling into her boobs? They must be so soft….” he heard a nasally, boyish voice whisper to his friend next to him, a few seats to his right.

Well-that was pretty fucking creepy.

Hawk’s head swiveled around, trying to find the voice. He was trying his best to not let his emotions do something rash-he didnt want to throw you off your task by doing something stupid. He was pretty known for his outgoing and filter-less peronality, so it was taking everything in him to just be calm for once, for your sake. Hawks quietly began to walk behind the seats of the kids, trying to find the owner of the voice.

“Ohhhh I would do anything for her if I could call her Mommy just once-”

The hell was this kid?! And how old was he to be making such nasty ass comments??

Hawks felt his cheeks flush, his eyes darting around, finaly landing on a student who seemed to be whispering to his friend with electric yellow hair.

He recognizied the kid with the bright hair- you had taken him on as a intern, his name was… Kalimari? Kanimari? 

He didnt quite remmeber, and frankly didnt really care that much as his eyes were trained on the kid next to him- he was so short, only his hair was visible from the seat- if you could it hair. Three balls of messy purple spheres were planted on his head as he leaned into the boy next to him.

“Hey Kaminari you think you wanna switch interns? Ill do anything, anything to just be next to her…”

“No way man!” the kid “Kaminari” whisiper yelled at him, “I landed a total babe as a intern, Im not loosing that-”

Hawks blinked a few times in complete shock- now this kid too! He knew you were a hit with the men (because hell he was a total fanboy before meeting you just because of how hot you were), but god he didnt realize you were popular with the teens too! It made sense, boys were pretty, well- interested- in women alot more at this age, but still- it bothered him how possessive he was getting because of these boys.

“Ahh please Denki!”

“Nah Mineta youre crazy!”

So his name was Mineta...Hawks leaned against the wall, his hands fidgeting as he tried to stay calm.

He might be petty enough to give a small call to his intern and see how he can make his life a little hellish….

Hawks drew his gaze back to you, hoping that maybe watching you speak will calm him down...but the kid wouldnt let up.

The whole time you were talking “Mineta” made every comment in the book, wondering “if you liked short guys”, “how big your butt was”, even asking if you had modeled lingerie….Hawks was pratically mortified for you.

Were all guys liked this? Cause god, if it was, he was going to have a problem...he felt his chest fluff out in dominance, his feathers pratically vibrating from agitation because of how possessive he was feeling and he couldnt do a single thing.

He watched you looked around the crowd, a soft radiant smile on your lips.

“Does anyone have any questions?” you asked as you peered up at the students.

Mineta instantly raised his hand, Hawks stomach churning with dread.

Unaware of the situation Hawks had just witnessed, you gave to boy a bright grin. 

“Yes?” you asked goodnaturedly.

Mineta sniffled, his voice nasally and somewhat desperate sounding. 

“Yeah I had a question- um, how big are you boo-”

Haha, nope.

Hawks instantly sent a bunch of feathers zooming towards Mineta, each one ramming into his open mouth. The force took over his frail body, the sight almost comical as his eyes grew wide with fear as he began to lean back, his pudgy hands flailing.

Hawks felt a small part of him inflate with dirty pride from his little trick, a lazy grin gracing his lips as everyone in the room turned around to watch him with complete shock.

“Sorry about that kiddos, had to just demonstrate somehting for you guys real quick...” Hawks looked down at you, your face blushing yet riddled with conufsion. He sent you a small smile, giving you a quick wink- “Ill tell you later” was written on his face as he turned his attention back to the students in fornt of him. 

“...when you intern with your heroes, show them some respect...cause words get around when you talk out of place-”

The Mineta kid turned around, sputtered coughs dribbling out of his mouth as he picked fluffs of feather off his tongue. His eyes widened as he turned around and realized what was going on, the #2 hero giving him the deadliest glare imaginable. 

Hawks could almost feel sympathy for the kid-almost. He must have realized who had shut him, after all, you two were dating (and Hawks had made sure that everyone knew that).

Hawks sauntered over, a dark grin wrapping against his complexion as he kneeled down to get to the kids level.

“I’d watch what you say, kid- my feathers can get sharper when I want them to,” 

A gulp could be heard from Mineta, his skin paling as the #2 hero, the one dating the pretty herione in front of him, had pretty much threatened him.

Yeah, he stayed quiet after that.

[spongebob-connoisseur]

first have a few questions for the 4th movie i thought the sandy movie was separate movie? idk that’s what the spongebob fandom wiki seems to say and what’s with sandy messing up the timeline? was that an ep i missed or a crew member saying it or your personal theory hahaha thanks i am just confused :P

The 4th movie was confirmed to be the Sandy movie. But they are making 3 other spongebob movies ontop of that for some reason?

The whole Sandy mess begins with Sandy instructing her child self to go to kamp koral to prevent Plankton from stealing the formula in the past. She says she has to fix something and she believes she did. By doing that she pretty much erases the events at tea at the tree dome. And from what it seems that Friend or Foe didn't happen because it's spongebob who creates the formula instead of Krabs or Plankton. Thats the events of Kamp Koral.

I was always curious why she even needed to go back in time to begin with. What did she do in the first place that she ended up having to fix? Did she try to prevent Mr. Krabs and Plankton's fight?

The official Spongebob YouTube channel put out an explanation saying Sandy needed to fix a mistake in the past. Instead of doing that. She went to the wrong universe by mistake. This universe where krabs didn't make the formula but instead kid spongebob.

While Sandy did prevent plankton from stealing the formula in the past. It isn't the right plankton. Sandy assumes all is well and that she fixed her universe (as seen in the lamp koral episode). But apparently she didn't even go back to the right universe. She's still in the one where she screwed up.

It's weird mess and I dont think you could say the content of the official spongebob YouTube channel as canon. It kinda makes me feel like nick wants to gain a new audience of people who fixate on shows with multiverse and crazy cartoon theories since that stuff was really popular during the past few years. And so gave spongebob very messy lore. I feel like they want people to put things together like marvel multiverse theories.

Still I'm a loser whos willing to dig through this garbage. For fun I have some ideas of how this could work. It could tie into the sandy movie. Its titled Saving Bikini Bottom. And its a sandy origin story (its mentioned on wikipedia)

Maybe she has to save bikini bottom from herself and her space time meddling?

All of sandy's mistakes and attempts to fix her mistakes just seems to make the problem bigger and bigger. She doesn't think it's a big deal but I feel like it'll eventually snowball into a catastrophe.

This is a good opportunity to bring back bubbles and the scrapped bubbles origin story from the 3rd movie. Bubbles the guardian of space time? He'd certainly have to give Sandy a piece of his mind for messing up MULTIPLE realities and carelessly trying to patch things up. They could team up! And work to fix the problems sandy created. I think that would be a cool idea.

That's just my idea and i doubt nick cares enough to fix up the plot problems they created.

Anyways feel free to share ideas on how to fix this mess.

Oh ask game!

Am bored and finally have free time. And as a curious person this would be fun.

Sooooo:

3, 6 and 20 cause am pretty sure you would like to ramble about that questions.

And the ones am curious 10 (mine messy as fuck), 11 (theyre finish their projects), 18 (i do a lot, maybe thats why i never progress and always ended starting new projects) and 22 (i do and always hate it)

Hi Svetla!!!!! Thank you :D!!!

Three I've answered before X3

6. What character do you have the most fun writing?

To surprise of probably no one.. probably Dream lmao. I adore Fundy's character, and writing Hermits is a delight but! Dream (any variation of him) is always so ridiculously fun. From the most sympathetic to the most villanous I just... dunno I find his character fun. Especially when he is moraly grey because I just have to do a balancing act constantly to keep him somewhat sympathetic, make him be somewhat right about what is happening but he can be terrrible twsitsed or just a mess while that happens. Like .... I don't know I feel writing him is just a good exercise because to keep him interesting (when morally grey) a lot of thought have to go to him. Also when he is just a straight up rat bastard I just enjoy that as well XD. Just going "you are gonna be so villanous and everyone will love haiting you" and is fun! He is just fun! Even if I go to the other side! On aus much further from canon (mainly fwt aus because I am fwt trash) having him be a well-meaning himbo is just... fun! Dunno I just find Dre very fun to write X3

10. How would you describe your writing process?

Chaotic but oddly organized. I will go with that. Usually what happens is that I have an initial burst of chaotic energy I quickly construct into a story in a rambly, messy, incoherent way. And then I sit down and take that as my template and limits to my universe. I adjust timeline as I go and when I'm happy enough with a timeline I turn around and focus on the world and characters. Worldbuilding I keep crazy amount of notes about that (canon reloaded au is evidence of that XD) meanwhile characters.... I just.... I am not sure how I manage to retain that much info but I just construct them and focus on understanding their view of the world and their personality and then whenever I need to write them I just go "okay if I acted like this and to me things where like this... what would be the most logical/ coherent way to act?" and then write that. All this can happen and I still can have a timeline or master plot document where I keep the main beats of the story written and I adjust as I go so it all flows better..... so... yeah chaotically orderly XD

11. What do you envy in other writers?

On one hand their ability to finish stuff, but on my case stuff legitimately gets on my way of finishing stuff because deep down I don't think I could live in peace if I don't finish something that is published. On the other hand. Being concise. I am everything BUT concise since stuff I feel took ages to write then turns out to be super quick to read I go "no..... I want reader to have more stuff to read" and since I just enjoy writing povs so endrenched in character perspectives I just... write and write and write and write.... and that is very useful but on some cases where I need to be brief is a disadvantage. I'm currently learning how to be more brief and concise and I've found it challenging.

18 I answered alredy :3

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

I do.... so much... foreshadowing is not even funny. I hate hate hate HATE plot twist that come out of nowhere so I make sure that if I will reveal something it has been properly set up if it is a surprise, or to leave enough info if it is an important detail that comes to light later. Also character parallels??? My jam!!! I usually write stuff in duos or trios.

For example OWV chapter 25 was a reply to OWV 15 in a way (i'm about to ramble about this in particular)

You see how both Tommy and Tubbo react to Dream, 15 is entirely a Tommy and Dream conversation and 25 is entirely a Tubbo and Dream conversation. They also both focus on Dream in opposite ways. While 15 is an external look at Dream (the chapter is on Tommy's pov), chapter 25 is an internal look at Dream (with Dre being our pov character) and yet both chapters tell you so so much about Dream... the distate of Wilbur mentions on 15 is directly observed in 25. The sudden change of attitude in 15 is seen again in 25 but you have Dre's internal ramblings to make you realize it is a justified change, ta leats on his mind. I just... adore this two chapters (even if both are just 5k conversations each XD).. but just... yess... complementary stuff, and foils, and callbacks like this are my bread and butter

22. Do you reread your old works? How do you feel about them?

I do! In this case is mostly my og projects and I just see baby ivi writing that like "awwww look at baby ivi :3". I see my work was much more cliche and tropey and... limited. And yeah some stuff can be cheesy, and cringey, and edgy. But hey those are the steps that had to be taken to get where I'm now ... and I'm sure in a couple of years I'll re-read what I did on this time of my live and go "ooof right pandemic times... but also hey!!!! look at that! baby ivi was doing this sort of stuff??? awww" I feel no shame over my old stuff, I've decided I will embrace my old works... also who knows??? I might find something interesting there I could revive/adapt for later

[colethewolf]

So, apparently Derek and Stiles were supposed to be an actual couple before Davis pussied out and didn’t do it for...hetero reasons? So in essence, they kept writing them as a couple without being an actual couple and threw them together with women they had no chemistry with (Malia, Braeden in Lydia’s case no romantic chemistry) or forced it by paralleling the shit put of it to the point of creating clones (of Stiles and Derek) with vaginas (Paige and Jennifer, Slightly Malia and Cora respectively).

I don’t know why, it’s been so long since it’s been over but finding out that this is a legitimate thing apparently, I don’t know, I haven’t seen the sources but everybody is saying that apparently it came out that they were meant to be a couple before it was nixed, just makes me incredibly angry.

To be perfectly honest I wasn’t huge in this ship or shipping in general however I enjoyed sterek. My thing with Sterek was that I was excited by the fact that there were these two guys with chemistry that bickered and worked well together and respected one another and the best part they were not Hollywood stereotypical. I mean by Hollywood stereotypical is that they weren’t overly sexualized together, they were not overtly either too macho masculine or super feminine. They were strong, intelligent, flawed, messy but good men who respected and seemed to really love eachother without being paraded. The huge draw also and the biggest point was that there were these two side characters with chemistry where you saw it was going to happen and that was pretty exciting for a lot of people.

My brother got me into the show because he was so excited about it. When it didn’t happen he was bummed out, he was angry because of the baiting because he and many other people believed it, even I felt used and I’m not a part of the LGBTQ+ community, but even I assumed and hope that it would happen because at least one couple seemed to genuinely like and respect and care and love each other. It just didn’t happen. Just quasi-promises in the form of scenes were they were written as a couple without the romanticism, thrown into relationships with women they had no chemistry way, the type of non-chemistry that seemed as dry as the Sahara desert on both sides (Or in Hoechlin’s case a case of the weird crazy obsessive stalker pawing at him making the scenes with Derek and braeden that much more uncomfortable because even acting he was uncomfortable and she was drooling at the prospect of getting up on him.)

If I find the link with the actual sources I’ll send them to you in a message because I think it would be pretty interesting to read. I think it’s legit, I mean I assume that it was probably something that they were planning but I never thought that there would be a legitimate sources where they say yes this was supposed to happen but it did not because dumb reasons. And I think it’s real because I’m hearing it everywhere, I’m hearing it loudly, and the anger and the rage that I’m hearing it reminds me of when the ban began way back and the Sterek fandom was initiated betrayed by PTB and Davis after all of the legwork the Stereks did to make the show popular, viewed and honestly the reason it was profitable at all.

You’re probably not interested in hearing any of this but legitimately yours was the only blog that I could think of that would hear this and give a legitimate opinion because you’ve been vocal about it and in a wonderfully honest way with your thoughts. Like I said I’m not a part of the community, I am not someone who ships anything. But I did start to ship them because it seemed naturally written, the chemistry was electric, they worked well together, and anyone with eyes and the ability to hear and understand what they’re seeing could see that the writers wrote them as being very much in love with eachother.

I apologize about the length.



Yes, I’ve talked about this before. I’ve spoken to sources before about what happened and unfortunately there will always remain unknown pieces of information about it. I don’t think we’ll ever get a full picture and detailed timeline of genuine fact. 

But we can piece together the things that we saw and experience without knowing the full details about behind the scenes. For instance, Jeff Davis frequently acknowledged Sterek as a slash-ship. He admitted to intentionally writing Derek and Stiles scenes together and called them one of the greatest pairings in the show. He also frequently admitted to printing out Sterek fanart and posting them around the studio and writers room.  

We also know that he intentionally hinted at Stiles being bisexual. He admitted it. He also frequently baited at the prospect of Stiles and Derek possibly developing into a slow-build romantic relationship. We also know that Jeff was fully aware of the Sterek vs. Derek/Jennifer parallels as he, himself, hinted at them being intentionally set in place during season 3A.

Onto things that weren’t confirmed by Jeff Davis, it was obvious that Stiles/Malia and Derek/Braeden were attempts to no-homo the characters as it was not a coincidence that both characters (who had remained single for seasons 1-3B) decided to both get put into separate heterosexual relationships at the same time, whilst also being purposely kept apart in scenes filmed. 

The reality is that even if Jeff Davis wasn’t singlehandedly responsible for how Sterek was treated in the show, the fandom’s anger was directed at him. And it wasn’t directed solely at him just because. It was because Jeff, himself, frequently announced via. twitter & tumblr that he did NOT receive pushback from MTV executives. 

In fact, Jeff bragged about how the show was his show and that he was able to write whatever he wanted without higher-ups telling him no. It was Jeff who bragged about the show being progressive in terms of queer representation. Regardless of whether or not Jeff had 100% full control over the show and the stories, we don’t know. But Jeff set himself up as the main enemy on his own accord. 

I don’t think the fury Jeff received towards him would have been so strong had Jeff not been so cocky as to preach in the faces of the fans. He liked being the one in charge and then subsequently got pissy when fans turned against him and him alone. I think it was a big lesson learned. 

Personally, I think Sterek was the show. It brought so much status and power to the show, but when they tried so hard to remove every trace of Sterek, that’s when the show crashed and burned. It’s no coincidence that season 3B received 2+ million views per new episode, only for that viewership to immediately tank when Season 4 came around.....the season where Stiles/Malia and Derek/Braeden. And following that, the views only continued to drop harder and harder. 

Had Sterek gone canon, I think the show would have been regarded as a major game changer for television. Instead, I think shows like Shadowhunters, How To Get Away With Murder, & The Magicians really helped bring new standards for queer representation in television. Teen Wolf could have had that, but they fumbled their opportunity with messiness behind the scenes. 

That’s what I think about it. But if you do find those sources, I’d love to hear what they’re saying to see if they match up with anything we already know.

Who are your OCs?

i have several! here are my main ones (ignore the god tiers or whatever)

a brief synopsis in order: ameera - insane cowgirl time player ukruke - detective who lost her partner and now works alone, commutes to the city from the harsh desert and has a gigantic centipede lusus gloria - revolutionary who has to take on a disguise as their stage persona (of a higher caste) in order to start a new revolution, having failed one under their first ruse. they also dont want to start a revolution for any good reason anymore, but are just power-hungry and quietly deranged leiraz - nice homeless + lususless lady who likes books and is a bit of a nomad! shes also an actual real life witch limeblood 1105 - robot built for the purpose of being a moirail to unstable highbloods who have potential, a big sweetheart but very gullible and easy to mess with apollo - ukrukes old partner who failed actual law school and had to become a detective. got shaken up after having to kill someone for the first time and subsequently got wrapped up in a scheme to claim to be the true heir to alternias throne (with the help of gloria), there being no current claimant at the time. mostly aloof and a chill person otherwise though. also has big tits mailiz - gamer girl streamer who is very cool and also skateboards. she also turns into a like 9000000000 year old glitched voidy milf by the end of her timeline which i think is pretty cool. she doesnt really have many social boundaries and is extremely self assured persus - stoner who is also a leader of an emo band, and also a known heartthrob. zerrix - prettyboy streamer whos 100% non violent (and believes it to be a biological disorder on his part which he feels bad about) and likes to make drawings and clothes for his friends. also a furry. aster - hot mess lady who makes/repairs robots for fun. her room is very messy all the time and she drinks a lot but is good company and wont take your shit ardile - lady blinded as part of an exchange with horrorterrors to get her lifetime best friend deedee back as a ghost. she used to be in aster and persus' band but after the incident and aster & persus breaking up they dont really hang out anymore. these days she never surfaces and barely talks to anyone but can be fucking scary if you get on her bad side. she's the reason for gloria's facial disfigurement. shes also really into sportsmanship and proper fighting which shes trained for since she was young deedee - ghost girl heiress who died of a hereditary disease thats been killing all potential heiresses young. she claims to be crazy but really shes just a silly lady. she also culls fuschiablood grubs for profit in order to fund a certain game.

i also have devs which i dont feel like getting pictures for: jon - (unbeknownst to the rest of the team) first guardian maker of sburb (first guardians have different lore in my universe) who essentially created the game in order to truly live forever - by being able to harvest the suffering/lifespan of people who play the game, as well as the creation of infinite universes (thus infinite green suns to store such energy), he can defeat entropy (which basically states the universe, and so he, must die some day). hes also a gay man and falls in love with a co developer in the midst of his elaborate plan. he was there when the universe was born and interfered in a lot of stuff he shouldnt have out of sheer curiousity - he was raised by a kindly cherub cowgirl lady, and so he isnt totally emotionless. but because the universe is slowly dying, hes also not totally omnipotent/omniscient like canonical first guardians.

moore - vampire from a legendary dynasty who ended up homeless after a series of events, the catalyst being basically chucked out with the king he was a dresser for after it was found out they were gay. jon picks him up while hes studying computer stuff at a university and they move in together, starting a company and falling in love. they also have a family together (jean and finn). hes a very cranky man

EH/calpurnia - literally just a gamer/stoner type cherub who does most of the programming work along with jon and moore.

marie - deer centaur celestial type lady whos main job is to make planets habitable for species to grow on them. after she finished work on her planet/was on break she made a really big garden, which becomes a house for players to go to for handling if a big error happens in their session. she made a lot of the design choices and drew up clothing designs for god tiers, etc. shes a very nice lady who loves to bake etc. but she has a tendency to latch onto really evil people, since she always sees the best in them

I think that story with Delmar, Sabrina and Alya is only type of Alya demonization you accept.

(the post this anon is referring to)

Absolutely.

I also accept “demonization” for like--comedic purposes. For example, if they had Alya be all in on the love square and all no Marinette you’re not allowed to give up on Adrien if it’s Lukanette endgame and Alya’s (and possibly the rest of the girl squad) “demonization” is for the sake of their dramatic reactions to the mere idea that Marinette would be both not into Adrien anymore and also into someone else.

I just think the idea of turning things on its head by making the people around Marinette the subject of jokes instead of it being Marinette herself.

Anonymous said:

Alya going "Need Some Help?" reminds me of Karma and Nagisa from Assassination Classroom(I said it right this time!). Obviously Alya is Karma and Sabrina is Nagisa(and now Karma's jazzy motif is playing in my head). And Delmar is probably(and by probably I mean almost fucking definitely) Kayano. For real though, I didn't even know Delmar's name until I read that ask/response now. I mean, like, that's how forgettable and underutilized he was. And no, Ms. Bustier isn't worthy of being Koro-sensei.

Still not familiar with Assassination Classroom so I will let the other anons who are familiar with the series silently judge for themselves. ;P

As for Delmar, don’t feel bad; his name actually isn’t mentioned in the special to my knowledge, and it was a tweet that confirmed his name.

Anonymous said:

Oh yeah, the "Astruc gets hit with a washboard" was SUPPOSED to be a shout-out to Koro-Sensei Quest, in which Karma gets hit with a washboard(don't ask where it came from or where they go when they hit the ground, the world may never know) every time he acts like a smug-ass little bitch. You know, like Astruc. Often, the washboard will ricochet off his head and hit a red button, which then opens up a pit which Karma then falls in. In other words, Karma getting Karma! If only Astruc could too.

I like how this ask doesn’t specify whether the joke is that Adrien might’ve just been way too “friendly” with Kagami and gave her the impression that they were dating, or a joke on the fact that the show itself doesn’t specify that they’re dating, or both.

A+ 10/10

If Adrien does get akumatised because of jealousy about Marinette, I hope someone (Kagami would be great) points out that Marinette was never akumatised for that reason even though she had waaay more scenarios that could have turned out that way.

Do you mean it’d be better because love square is endgame so it’d be messy? Because otherwise, not gonna lie, Jagged meddling and being super supportive sounds fun. :P I’m not here for love square meddling but Lukanette meddling is cute because both parties would be mutually aware of it and also be into it.

As for my favorite fic I’ve written? That’s probably too tough to answer, ahaha. For sure, it’s something Lukanette-based, but I know that doesn’t narrow it down much at all. It would also probably be one of my fix-its/canon divergences because I’m crazy for multiverse/alternate timeline stuff (I hate time travel, but I’m all about multiverse, I adore that stuff).

Would like to pop in for a second to say that yes, Maribat *did* start out as a spite ship, because the original creator was a heavy Adrien salter and wanted someone to replace him… and chose Damian Wayne, for some reason. Since then, Marinette has been shipped with all the Robins (and from I can tell, they’re all warped into actuallynice!Adrien with two gimmicks added from the *actual* characters). I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting something, but that’s the gist of it.

(the post this person is referring to)

Thank you for the response! Yeah, I didn’t know if it was like Spider-man and Ladybug - which I don’t think is a spite ship but I might be wrong - so I didn’t want to say that it was a spite ship without being sure (and obviously, some shippers of it could be just genuine shippers, who knows).

Thank you for the extra clarification, anon! Yeah, I have that ship blacklisted (so I don’t see it around) but not really out of hatred for it; I tend to blacklist names/people/ships that I’m either indifferent to or don’t like (I immediately blacklist people who write angst, people who cross tag, and people who do onesided-Lukanette and don’t tag it that, even if it’s just one offense; I don’t play games, lol, if anyone does something I don’t like, I filter it out because I filter everything).

how would you insert tiberius into the mcu? also who would you cast? 👀

Ohhh, man. Oh, man.

I actually have thought about this, and though I know neither the writers at Marvel Comics nor the minds behind the MCU intended for it to be this way, here are my thoughts:

So, comparing trauma isn’t ideal under most circumstances, but I think it’s relevant when considering 616 Tony’s response to abusers as opposed to MCU Tony’s response to abusers.

616 Tony was... treated pretty awfully. There’s evidence of both psychological and physical abuse on Howard’s part, and to some degree, Maria was complacent (as well as being a victim of Howard’s abuse herself, which is messy and nuanced). 616 Tony was also sent off to boarding school pretty early on in his life, and “boarding school syndrome” probably would have affected the sweet, sensitive boy he was at that age pretty hard. I think putting someone like Ty in his life in boarding school might have cemented this kind of warped view that he had of himself and of his place, even if Ty wasn’t outwardly awful to him in school (though it would be realistic to assume with little canon evidence that he was probably the more mean-spirited one in their “rivalry” and, Tony, just coming from a home wherein Howard was the man of the house, either didn’t pick up on it or thought he deserved it).

Of course, 616 Tony had his personality set for a long while before Ty was retconned into his childhood, but regardless, if we’re thinking about Tony as a man with one consistent timeline, I like to imagine that Ty Stone would have actually played a large part in Tony’s development.

So, 616 Tony is the way that he is. He’s a gentle guy, an understanding guy, a sweetheart... etc., etc. And, depending on what canon you look at, his thoughts on what he went through change.

Some canon depicts 616 Tony as someone who’s mostly let go of what happened to him, but he’s still casually bitter, with a “Stick it to the man,” and “Take that, Dad,” kind of attitude.

Some canon depicts 616 Tony as someone who has more of a, “He tried his best,” mindset, with more sad, forgiving undertones, even if he can acknowledge that certain parts of his childhood were pretty awful.

I think both of these depictions are valid and realistic-- I won’t go into the nuance of how those depictions have been treated here (or my preference between the two), but basically, you can pick and choose which canon portrayal of Tony’s response to his abuse you like best and run with it.

The thing is, Tony’s not the most mean-spirited guy, and even when he is in a, “Take that, Dad,” kind of mindset, he’s still not... super aggressive about it? He makes offhand comments and jokes, but we rarely see a Tony Stark who’s enraged about Howard (though there may be some of that coming soon, I’ve heard-- or, at least, another piece of Howard canon.)

So, 616 Tony, generally, has a more mellow response to abusers and mistreatment. He has a low self esteem, and he feels obligated to “do good”, because he has the resources and the smarts. He lives for this, literally. This is his only purpose on the planet. In major canon events, he has more of an, “I know you don’t know where I’m coming from, and you don’t have to, but this is what’s best for the world” kind of mindset. He’s alright being hated (though he certainly doesn’t love it), so long as he believes he’s doing the right thing. He feels no entitlement to love, nor a family. In his mind, he’s practically worthless aside from what he can do for the world.

I know, I haven’t mentioned Ty in some paragraphs, but. Bear with me.

MCU Tony, on the other hand, isn’t... like this, exactly. Sure, he also has the “My dad tried his best” mentality, but as far as we’re aware, his dad was mostly neglectful. This is awful, of course- it’s not an issue anyone should take lightly- but a common theme among people who have experienced parental abuse is that it’s easier to understand what happened to you than it is to understand what should have happened, but didn’t.

So, neglect, generally, can be shaky for victims to grasp. We can kind of make a note of that as a response to one kind of abuse, and then move on to some other things.

MCU Tony also seems to have an extremely low self esteem, but not no self esteem; 616 Tony feels entitled to nothing, whereas MCU Tony feels like you can give him the bare minimum, at least. He’s constantly stuck in between “Jesus, I’m kind of awful, aren’t I?” and, “Wow, I want to be loved and respected!”

Which is understandable. We can see it in how he acts during major events (ex. his pleading “You have to understand where I’m coming from,” in direct contrast to 616 Tony’s “You don’t have to understand, and also you’re allowed to hate me”). We can see it in how he acts in relationships and friendships; when he’s abandoned, he feels bitter as opposed to resigned. He’s still able to be angry on behalf of himself.

616 Tony just doesn’t seem to be as capable of this as MCU Tony is.

So, back to Tiberius. Of course, 616 Tony’s primary issues stemmed from his father, but like I said, I think the implied decade or so of tireless competition between Ty and Tony, as well as Ty’s generally shittiness, realistically could have done something to cement certain beliefs that Tony had rattling around in his brain already.

Given how different MCU Tony is, I think an MCU Ty would have to be:

1) A brief friendship or fling that Tony probably hardly remembers, 2) A school acquaintance Tony may have spent some time around, or, 3) Roughly the same as he was in 616, but with Tony reaching a breaking point much sooner than 616 Tony did.

MCU Ty and Tony would probably have a crazy different dynamic. 

Honestly, given what we know about 616 Tony’s school days, I don’t think it would be wholly unrealistic to assume that Ty might not have even bothered with MCU Tony if he was too fight-y.

Ty feels like the kind of person who probably got along well with 616 Tony because of 616 Tony’s general timidity as a child, leaving lots of space for Ty to take up. If MCU Tony was sassier and more bitter in his younger years, I’m not even sure that Ty would find it easy to stick around. Because, you know. Ty’s a dick.

That being said, I like the idea of Ty across the multiverse. It really does feel, though, like most AU Tonys (with the exception of 1872, maybe) would sleep with Ty a handful of times and then, like. Leave him be.

Oh, and for a fancast:

Chad Michael Murray is a favorite of mine. I mean...

Y’know?

He just fits. And he did a good job of playing an asshole (albeit an asshole to a lesser degree) on Agent Carter.

[thespiralgrimoire]

I. NEED. TO. LEARN. MORE. ABOUT. FERRO's. UNIVERSE. Like are you kidding me? Fuego and Leo pulled a coup and killed every non-vermillion??! that's, wow, that's rich!! What's the heck is wrong with /THAT/ timeline? What about Asta's story there? the elves? the devils? Fuego really killed everyone? including NOZEL? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

OH MY GOD ANON YOU’VE MADE MY ENTIRE DAY

HONESTLY this AU is underdeveloped because of the way it came to fruition in the first place, so nothing would make me happier but to make it a collaborative fandom project but here’s everything I’ve got on it

Under a Read More because it might get lengthy

First, a disclaimer: This AU was born out of a dream. I had a dream about a plucky teenager participating in a Magic Knight’s exam that was designed more like The Hunger Games, and when I woke up, I said to myself, I gotta get in on that. So that’s why some of the details of this AU are a little fucky. Dream logic.

Now, the inciting event for this AU is twofold: First, Acier lives. SECOND, her sister, Kirsch and Mimosa’s mother, dies giving birth to Mimosa.

Sister’s death completely breaks down any bond between the Vermillions and the Silvas. It’s just. Messy. A lot of finger pointing, a lot of people not handling things well. Because while the Silvas were taught from a young age to bottle up their feelings, Vermillions tend to use their feelings as a weapon. And relations go south fast.

Acier has still been training Meoroleona. Nozel and Fuegoleon have still been rivals. But when this happens, everyone is forced to pick a side. Acier and Meoroleona don’t end their relationship on bad terms, but they do end it. Nozel and Fuegoleon’s relationship swiftly turns hostile. In hindsight, nobody is happy about the way things went down, but at this point there’s a No Man’s Land to civility that nobody is willing to cross, and nobody will cross it.

The Vermillions have the roughest time with this, but unlike the way the Silvas handled Noelle, nobody actually blames Mimosa for her mother’s death. They turn their grief into what they see as righteous fury and determine to turn this into a “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” situation. This takes different forms over the years, but what basically happens is that everyone internalizes these feelings so deeply that while they all grow stronger, they also sort of grow apart.

Fuegoleon and Meoroleona have a blowout that completely shakes House Vermillion, and when Meoroleona leaves, she vows to never come back. No one believes that she would actually stay away, what with how close Fuego and Meoro were as kids, but when she leaves, she leaves. They see her once a year TOPS, and it’s never for a happy reason.

Fuegoleon, who has let his anger completely isolate him from the rest of his family, throws himself into being the Crimson Lion King, and while he’s incredibly successful, he loses parts of himself along the way. His ambitions override his caring nature and his inclination to share his strengths with others, and he becomes cold and determined, with a methodical outlook on relationships.

Leopold doesn’t become so callous-- he wasn’t old enough to remember his aunt’s death, he just had to grow up in the aftermath of it --but he follows in his brother’s footsteps, and while he’s not as mean about the way he does it, he’s not afraid to make some harsh decisions if it means being the best.

Kirsch and Mimosa decide that the best way to deal with this is to keep their heads down. Kirsch is fiercely protective of his little sister, because even though nobody is blaming Mimosa, he can’t shake the feeling that she may still have a target on her back. This makes Mimosa jumpy and clingy, never really developing the confidence to be her own person. While she can’t really nail down a particular reason for it, she’s scared of Fuegoleon and doesn’t trust Leopold. She can’t help but wonder how her cousins in House Silva are doing, but knows that all hell would break loose if she actually sought them out, so she feels constantly stuck between a rock and a hard place; the living embodiment of a schism between the royal houses.

The Silvas, on the other hand, go the other direction. Acier is still here, and she’s not letting her family rip itself apart like it did in canon. She remains the captain of the Silver Eagles and well-respected. Her kids have an even easier ride to the top with her still there to pave the way. She misses Meoroleona terribly. She knows that none of this was fair to any of them, and losing her sister AND her star pupil is a lot to work through. She keeps thinking that eventually she’ll get a letter or a surprise visit from the Undefeated Lioness, but she never does.

Nozel is genuinely heartbroken to have lost his rival and best friend, and, consequently, be left in the dust when he can’t keep up with Fuegoleon’s ambition, but he’s still got his mother and three little siblings, so they become his whole life. Without Fuegoleon’s rivalry to spur him on, he becomes good but not great, and is content to coast. He’s a mama’s boy, and as long as his mother is satisfied, he’d rather read and organize missions than go on them. On the bright side, he doesn’t deal with 90% of the stress he deals with in the canon universe. He’s actually pretty happy most of the time.

Nebra ends up being the classic middle sibling. Her magic is nothing special, but she’s a Silva, so she can go with the flow and still come out looking a little better than everyone else. While Nozel would rather spend time with books and Solid and Noelle would rather spend time with each other, she’s a drifter; she can hang with any of her siblings, or her mother, but she’s no one’s first pick. It doesn’t really bother her all that much unless she feels genuinely left out, and Mom never forgets about her, so it’s all good.

Solid and Noelle are thick as thieves, and the Silver Eagles’ superstars. They bring out the worst of each other and have a great time doing it. They’re a dynamic duo on the battle field and harbor unfathomable chaotic energy off of it. Getting sucked into their gravitational pull is dangerous, so Nebra, Nozel, and Acier tread lightly, lest they get dragged into, or end up the victim of their shenanigans. Of all combinations of Silva duos, they are by far the closest. Totally ride or die. That doesn’t mean that they don’t drive each other absolutely batshit crazy, and have some HUGE blowouts that waterlog half the castle, but that’s what siblings do. The nice thing about having each other is that neither of them end up in their siblings’ or mother’s shadows. The not nice thing about that is that they’re just. Little shits. Imagine Noelle acting the way she does in the beginning of the series, but being sincere about it. Imagine Solid acting the way he does, except he’s never checking to see if he’s got his siblings’ approval. Now imagine them patting each other on the back for acting like that. Yikes.

Then Ferro comes along. He’s the result of Solid knocking up his unnamed noble girlfriend when he’s 16-17. Acier is PISSED. All the other Silvas are scandalized. Solid is in big trouble. Acier suspends him from the Silver Eagles while she does damage control. What she eventually ends up doing is paying the girl off, and when the baby is born, she takes him into House Silva to raise him in secret. Nobody outside House Silva ever knows about him. He is House Silva’s best kept secret. This is an important detail.

The coup comes together. Fuegoleon has been working on this plan for a long time. Years. Leopold is on board, because Leopold would follow him off a cliff. But he’s also scared shitless. This is a much bigger deal than stepping on a few comrades to rise through the ranks. He slips a little. Kirsch catches wind of the plan. He gets in Leo’s and Fuego’s ear to remind them, hey, we’re Vermillions, too. So we’re cool, right?

Yeah, they’re cool. All they have to do is help their cousins kill everyone whose last name isn’t Vermillion. Kirsch thinks this is a pretty good deal to save him and his sister. Mimosa will later have her doubts, but we’ll burn that bridge when we come to it.

Meoroleona was invited, but never shows up.

We’re about at the beginning of the show when the coup begins. I don’t have a good reason that it goes off as smoothly as it does. But everyone in Houses Kira and Silva dies, except Acier and Ferro. Ferro, now two, manages to watch his entire family get bodied without getting a scratch on him, because no one anticipated him being there. Acier is only able to defend herself and him before sneaking away.

Acier and Ferro flee to the Forbidden Realm, to a little town in bumfuck nowhere, to hide. They are never discovered by the Vermillions.

Fuegoleon becomes the Clover King. As far as they can tell, the coup is 100% successful. But the thing about fire is that it’s super useful for making people really dead, but when people are dying in heaps and being burned to ash it’s kind of hard to count how many bodies you’ve got. They don’t realize that they’re one short. With no one to stand in their way, Fuegoleon crowns himself Clover King. He disbands the Silver Eagles, and within the next few years, will crown himself Wizard King. It actually becomes pretty easy after Julius nerfs himself, whoops.

Unfortunately, Fuegoleon is starting to unravel. He gained a LOT of enemies doing all this heinous shit, and he is not a beloved king. Leopold is now the head of the Crimson Lion Kings, and he’s reporting back a lot of hostility among the captains. Not that they didn’t expect that, but there’s no way to practice sleeping with one eye open. That’s not to mention that the people are scared and confused, and that doesn’t make for a peaceful kingdom.

Over the course of years, he puts greater and greater restrictions on magic. It starts as permits to use spells in public places and soon grows into a near-total ban on grimoires for anyone outside the magic knights. With absolute power, he can kick people out of the magic knights AND take their grimoires. These rules both ease and exacerbate his growing paranoia. Everyone is pissed, but effectively stripped of their power, there isn’t much they can do about it.

Meanwhile, Acier is raising her grandson as a peasant, but never forgets that they’re royals. She teaches Ferro all of their family history, even though they have to keep it a secret. That gets kind of tricky since Ferro has royal-level magic in the middle of a town of peasants, but, you know, who’s gonna call him on it?

When Ferro is ten, he get recruited by a mysterious hooded figure to train his magic in secret. 90% of his magic training happens in a location he is taken to by a spatial mage. He, along with about a dozen other kids, are trained by a small band of mages who claim to be the resistance. Their goal is simple: Train the next generation of mages to take out the king and restore order to the kingdom. Ferro thinks this is pretty cool, and the honor isn’t lost on him, but he’s mostly glad that he can learn to control his magic in a way that makes his grandmother proud.

By the time Ferro is 15, grimoire ceremonies have been almost completely outlawed, so it’s a big deal when the resistance throws their trainees a grimoire ceremony. Once they’ve received their grimoires, they begin the next leg of their journey: become magic knights.

The Magic Knights Entrance Exam has changed a LOT in the last 15 years. This exam is deadly. In many instances, the point is to kill or be killed. Magic knights are being trained as a military force first and foremost, and their most important feature must be that they take orders unblinkingly. This does not fly with Ferro. While he’s extremely qualified for the position in every other way, he’s too nice to let people die, let alone kill them. He fails the exam. However, some of the other kids he’s trained with make it in.

So he needs a new plan. Spurned on by his grandmother and his teachers through the resistance, he decides to travel the Clover Kingdom. In the midst of his travels, Acier dies. At 20 years old, he is now the last Silva.

This fact makes Ferro pretty fatalistic, and at this point he decides the only rational thing to do is to force an audience with King Fuegoleon. Surely this won’t end in disaster. Definitely won’t be his untimely end by flames.

--

So there are a lot of holes in this AU, because it sprang up around this one character I had a wild dream about. A few mores notes:

Noelle joined the Silver Eagles, if that wasn’t obvious

The Vermillion coup takes place 1-2 years after the start of the show, and I have no explanation for how those events could fit into this timeline. They would definitely look a LOT different, that’s for sure

My notes on this end where they do because at the point where Ferro breaks into the royal castle to force this audience with the king, he actually gets thrown out of this universe and into another. So I guess for all intents and purposes, the Silva line ends for good in this universe

I know exactly where Meoroleona is and what she’s doing

I don’t know where exactly Kirsch and Mimosa are and what they’re doing when they disappear

So that’s all I’ve got! This isn’t a super duper happy AU, and definitely not flattering for everyone, but I was forced to flesh it out because I was told, very emphatically, “Evil Vermillions sexy.” I don’t disagree.
