RIFT MESS Au

Soooo I'm kinda obsessed with the cipherverse?? So I felt the need to make my own Au. My sister and I created this one together

Added text in case it's hard to read.

BILL: trapped in the mind plane waiting for a chance to take revenge Still stuck on Gravity Falls and the reason the rift won't close. Likes to mentally torture Ford and Dipper while sleeping

DIPPER: 16 years old. Unicorn cape and gloves to protect him from the weirdness waves. Misses his sister sometimes.

STANFORD: Lost and eye and a hand on an explosion during the first trial of the Rift Stabilizer. Replaced them with bionic parts. Egomaniac (in this timeline he never learned humility. Never learned the lesson)

PAGE 1: Ford didn't miss the shot and actually killed Bill during Weirdmageddon.

But the interdimentional rift it's still open and continues to get bigger. The town is still being destroyed. Most people of GF leaves. The ones who wanted to stay are kicked out by Ford himself.

PAGE 2: Managing to kill Bill reaffirms his belief that he was indeed the hero who was prophesied to save Gravity Falls. He yakes back the Mistery Shack and kicks Stan out like he said he would.

Mabel returns home but Dipper decides to stay with Ford to investigate how to save Gravity Falls. The twins get separated.

PAGE 3: Ford and Dipper investigate the rift together while fighting the creatures from the nightmare realm that cross through it (even GF creatures), searching for a solution.

After a few years of work and reaserch they create a machine that manages to stabilize the rift, preventing it from getting bigger. But only temporarily.

So, I've written before about how our relationship with predators would probably intimidate aliens, but I just pictured another way we interact with predators that is honestly just as scary from an outside perspective: we pretend to be predators and even make up new ones, all just for fun.

Now, we also adopt predator patterns for utility: wearing striped makeup for camouflage, imitating roars and bird calls, etc. But I'm specifically talking about the video I just saw from Creature Bionics of creature rigs designed for a human actor to better do motion capture. I'm talking about voice actors and sound designers creating new and terrifying clicks and roars and growls because lions' roars just aren't scary enough. I'm talking about adults dressing up as plush monstrosities to entertain sports fans and children. Gritty is terrifying, objectively.

One day at an early meal, human Janet seems confused when her alien crewmates start asking about a shape-shifting monster that they keep seeing in human culture. They ask her what it's like to live on a world with "dogjons;" animals that can shift from a fan-headed creature with eye-covered wings to an amphibious eel-like figure, humanoid but not human, to a death-pale monstrosity that chases anyone who dares get near its food. Human Janet is confused until they say that the pale figure has eyes in its hands; bloodshot, and glassy.

"Oh, Doug Jones! No, he's not a monster, he's just a really good actor. Too good—the Shape of Water awakened something in me, specifically."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, let's just say the lady 'mating' with him isn't a horror story, it's a fantasy." Human Janet says, like it's nothing. Then something seems to occur to her, and her eyes brighten with what the aliens are quickly learning is mischief. "Oh my god. Am I the one who gets to explain monster fucking?"

Elsewhere, an alien accompanies xis human friend on a day out with their young. There's some kind of show being put on for human youth and Xlibthar is excited for this insight into how humans get Like That. Imagine xis surprise when the lights go up on the entertainment platform and a horde of creatures rushes up. They are large and bright yellow, with big black eyes as dark as singularities, with bright red spots on their heads that clearly indicate venom. Xlibthar shrieks and shields xisself behind Akio and Hinata, sure that something has gone terribly wrong.

"What are those?!" Xlibthar demands, quaking in xis shoes.

"Those? Oh, they're just Pikachus." Akio does not seem even the slightest bit distressed, and five-year-old Hinata is absolutely losing her mind with excitement at the sight of these garish monstrosities.

"What. On Earth." Because this could only happen on Earth. "Is a Pikachu?"

"It's a Pocket Monster. It's a series about monsters that battle with each-other. Pikachu is a mouse that can shoot electricity out of its body."

Xlibthar stares at Akio, wondering if this is an example of what humans call "gaslighting," because keeping monsters in your pockets sounds too insane even for humans. And, "you bring these things around your CHILDREN??"

"I mean, they're not real." Akio puts his hands over Hinata's ears. "They're just people in costumes. Though Nintendo would never let you see one with its head off."

Xlibthar has many questions: why? What? How? What? But one question has been answered: if this is what entertains human youth, it is exactly why Humans are Like That.

I finally finished the second chapter of this doodle comic!

Basically from a translation machine:

It's called notes, but it's really bullshit time:

(I didn't put any asterisks in the "text" in order to make the picture cleaner and not make this little comic seem too serious)

①WX says that their body "doesn't have any of those really advanced things" and that "the concept is just bionic", which might make you wonder how WX can agree with their own shortcomings when they are always been so confident in their own machine body. This is kind of a guess: WX's comments in the wiki about Wagstaff being "afraid of progress" and "short-sighted", combined with WX's usual machine-worshiping and violent tendencies, such as their comments about Maxwell "He has that kind of power but he doesn't go out and destroy human". So it's an offense to them, but they actually agree that even though they claim to be superior, I guess WX would like to see their bodies more advanced and even more radical.

② Yes, this WX has acceleration circuits installed.

③ Gnome get✓ Do you guys remember the line where WX checks the Gnome

④ "You're not as kind as you look", how should I put this one, because the Wilson I understand is more or less with a little bit of darkness in his mind, he's someone who is full of emotions but often restrains them with reason, he fears and hates the negative impulses and instincts within himself. And this trait I think probably comes from his good nature, his education and survival experiences and the influence of the Shadow Throne. (But honestly after suffering in CONSTANT for so long, it's normal for whoever it is to be a little psychologically unhinged, not to mention the SANITY setting.) And after WX's soulwalking, they easily have some "psychic empathy" with Wilson... ...... Well, how did that happen Wilson?

⑤ Well I know the reasoning of the empathy module episode is weird ...... In fact, it's mainly because when I drew this plot I didn't have a good understanding of the empathy module, and simply thought of it as something like "emotional deficiency", so this episode was supposed to be Wilson saying "why do I still feel emotional ups and downs blabla" and then WX explaining that it's because of "memories of emotional experiences", which would have made a lot more sense.

⑥I guess it's my own personal setting: although the game doesn't make a distinction, I don't think WX as a robot would have a "headache and blurred vision due to lack of sanity". The system will be affected, sure, but the physiology won't necessarily feel it. It's hard to go from luxury to frugality, and since there is no experience in the eternal realm in the human era, WX can't adapt to the negative impacts of sanity reduction at all.

⑦Wilson's curiosity and desire to explore and then equipped with WX's hardware strength is simply ON FIRE. and "adapting to the human body so quickly" this conclusion mainly comes from the last chapter when the two people just transformed the body, Wilson's side is very difficult, while the WX on the contrary, it seems to be very easy. Even when they suddenly possessed internal organs, blood, light weight and so on, there was no adverse reaction. Wilson, who loves to observe, has always had suspicions (sorry however I didn't draw this clue out)

⑧ on the one hand, just learned a shocking secret, excited and energetic Wilson, on the other hand is the history of the exposure, and is also experiencing unprecedented headache WX. so the two temperament is not quite the same as usual.

⑨ "Wiped of most of their human memories" from the game's credits: "Suddenly recalling the memories of his past life, WX-78 soon decides to change his fate on his own."

⑩ Those of you who have fought Shadow creatures online might know that the only way a teammate's Shadow creature will have hatred for you is if you've forcibly attacked them. What happened here is that WX forced an attack on Wilson's Shadow Creature (except that Wilson was still relying on his headache of empirical judgment and didn't realize that his SANITY was too low), and then WX's own shadow creatures that were looming all showed up as well, which is why it became so much more. I don't have a very comprehensive understanding of this mechanic online though, and it doesn't seem to be very rigorous, so that's probably what it is anyway.

I accidentally added a lot more, mainly because of the limited ability to express the drawing ... Hope you enjoy!

The BIONICLE world has a canonical...hell?

Oh yeah, that's A Thing. I had been toying with that as a Fun Fact, but I kind of assumed we were all like

But I'm happy to hear I can put this back on the slate! So! Today You Learned about Karzanhi!

In BIONICLE, the main inhabitants of the world are these worker fellows called the Matoran, (the people the Toa protect) and they need to keep working for their world to keep functioning (this seems dystopian to me, but the story kind of glosses over that).

The Matoran have this legend that if you're a very good little worker you're sent to Artakha, a divine workshop island kingdom ruled by an entity also known as Artakha. They would work in this ultimate workshop with Artakha to create cooler gadgets and buildings than anywhere else in the world.

But if you're a bad little worker, you're sent to Artakha's brother, Karzanhi. There bad little workers go to his dark kingdom, and are never seen again...

Obviously we have Heaven and Hell parallels here. In the actual story, most of the characters don't believe this is real. In one book, the heroes come across an evil vine creature that's named Karzanhi after the legend.

But then a bit later we find out that Karzanhi is totally real...

Except... he's kind of a doof. See, bad workers weren't sent to his kingdom as punishment, they were sent because Karzanhi's job is to fix them (these are bionic beings, remember?). The idea was Matoran who were bad workers because they needed some kind of repairs were sent to his kingdom for him to repair and send back. But Karzanhi was garbage at his job, so instead of sending them back after "repairing" them, he just sent them away, or kept them in his own kingdom. The reason Matoran never came back was because he was hiding his own shoddy work.

In fact, he also doesn't realize anything exists outside of his own work. When the heroes pass through his kingdom trying to get to the Plot, he doesn't believe that they're saving the world because as far as he knows, the world is just peachy! When he finds out from them how bad things are, he decides to take a hand in world events himself. And predictably, screws things up even worse.

[He also eventually gets a set that looks nothing like his illustration, because mutation shenanigans, but whatever.]

So yeah! BIONICLE Hell! If you ever see me use 'WTK' that stands for "What the Karzanhi?" We in the BIONICLE fandom used it back on BZPower.

[hmshermitcraft]

*sigh* there has been a return of an au I had a year ago, and now I have it changed for this fandom, and now it’s taking over my brain. And god damn it, why does ark survival evolved have to be so tempting to make an au based off of???(original thing the au was for was MHA)

Xisuma was experience when it came to dinos and creatures different than the normal ones. He played with mods half the time for gods sake! What he didn’t expect though, was on a journey through the arks that was supposed to be vanilla, end up with some weird phenomenons.

At first it was glimpses of something out of the corner of his eye. That wasn’t very different, some of the dinosaurs were predators that stalked their prey. But it got more and more unusual from there. Eventually there were messages dug in sand and scraped into rocks and trees. He could’ve sworn it was an unmodded and closed ark.

He must’ve just left a mod on by accident, the silly derp. He started seeing things that didn’t match with any mods he had played with. There was what appeared to be a reaper queen, but it looked like it was half tek. This could’ve been explained as just an update to a mod and shrugged off.

Yet it didn’t feel right, whenever he saw the thing, there was always a glitching effect it seemed. Eventually he was just down in a cave, looking for loot when he turned and was face to face with it.

It wasn’t quite the same as a reaper queen, it was smaller, for one, and it had very short green fur where the bionic parts weren’t. It had moved silently, enough to be worrying.

Xisuma was too close to be able to run, nor did he have a shield on him. His tools weren’t the best quality, only low damage and durability journeyman and mastercraft. He was prepared to feel the quick pain of a dino-inflicted death and have to come back for his gear, but it never came.

The thing just… stared at him.

Eventually he learned that the thing wasn’t actually a thing, it was a he, and his name was Doc. Doc was, well, a glitched player. He had been experimented on by Rockwell, and, well, this had happened. He was turned into this.

It was a simple fix, once Xisuma realized which part of the code was wrong. Even after Xisuma did all he could to fix the code, Doc would still have some different features, but that didn’t matter to either of them. Doc was happy to finally not be stuck as that form, and Xisuma liked the company. They totally weren’t falling for each other, totally.

And well, if Xisuma ended up telling some friends on a server about Doc, and them all telling him to invite Doc, and they shared a kiss and maybe more during a party while drunk ;), then that was their business and the others sure as fuck weren’t questioning the two. Even if Ex wasn’t too sure about his brother liking someone who still had a bit of non-normal code to them.

-I am writing this while sick and completely exhausted and with a headache, and I just watched a ton of ark videos, so I have ark on the mind and this au from the past came back and it infected my brain with its addictingness.

Xisuma considered himself to be pretty non-standard code as well, and he considers Ex to be a hypocrite.

Doc's been through a lot, and Xisuma is proud to call him part of his family. And, maybe, his boyfriend but he doesn't want to presume, you know?

Doc doesn't know how X deals with so many dinosaurs but manages to be this much of a derp.

The next to show in my monster au project is Bridget and Gristle. They’re both frankenmonsters, a species of monster that are the species of Frankenstein's monster and the creatures based on him.  They were only created annd assembled by combining various parts from humans, species, and more. Some of their bodies are often covered in visible stitches as they are sewn together but they or limbs often fall apart unintentionally, which they can take advantage by exchanging their humanoid body parts for handmade, bionic parts. They also have electricity powers because they were brought to life using electricity.

Bridget was created by a downcasted, hubristic Creek because he was cast out by both the regime and the outcasts because of the issues of graverobbing and discriminatory views towards the latter. To create Bridget, Creek went to the Wall and steal the bodies of the people who were executed by the Republic. He used the bodies and organs of all the women who were executed or died, especially those of his ex-girlfriend, who is revealed to be a member of Mayday. Using their parts, Creek sewed them with a metal thread and brought Bridget to life using lightning during a thunderstorm. He was so obsessed with creating a perfect woman that a lone member of Mayday, Eagle entered his manor and hid there from a mob of angry Gileadean loyalists. When Bridget was finally brought to life, Creek tried to propose to her, which she rejected. Eagle opened a pack of food he stole from a commander’s house, which caught her eye. She asked him for food and he shares it with her. In return, they ran away from the manor and Creek ended up being mauled by the mob. As she and Eagle both try to fit in among the monsters and the outcasts, she soon starts to learn different things with the help of her new friends and Gristle Jr., whom she falls in love with. She is naive, but not unintelligent, since she can absorb the memories of her body parts’ former owners. She has few social skills, no filter, and often misses nuance. She take idioms literally and doesn’t understand sarcasm, deception, or subtext but the Boo Crew, the Snack Pack, and Gristle Jr. helped a her lot when she got confused about the ins and outs of life.

Gristle Jr., on the other hand, was created by an outcast named Gristle Sr., who wanted to make a son of his own, being created a few weeks before Bridget. Being an experienced frankenmonster, Gristle Jr. knows a lot about the world because he was not only educated by his creator/father, he is also given a chance to interact with the other monsters. When Bridget came along, he falls in love for the first time and he shows her the wonders of the world.

There’s more to come to stay tuned ghouls and mansters!

My favorite movies are the absolutely unhinged ones that came out in the 90s and the early 2000s. But my all-time favorite is Hellboy and I blame it for my likes page.

We can do better than Ron Pearlman on this blog though, right? Imagine if HYDRA hadn’t turned Bucky into a super soldier but instead turned him into a demon, a Harbinger of the Apocalypse. What if HYDRA had made him into Anung Un Rama?

He would’ve been nicknamed Hellboy, much the same as the demon he’s created to emulate but his true name, Anung Un Rama, is what strikes fear into his enemies’ hearts. He chooses to go by Bucky as a way to feel normal but Hellboy sticks no matter what he tries. He wears hats to cover the shaved horns that adorn his forehead and he keeps his head down when he can’t. He is massive in comparison to his FBI nanny, Sam Wilson, and can take up an entire door frame, making it hard to move around if he’s not careful. His left hand is bionic instead of oversized and stone but it’s still a point of contention for him. It’s one of the first things that people see and they immediately know who he is. When they look up in fear and spot his low-sitting hat or the stumps, they gasp and run away. It’s awful really.

The only person brave enough to stick around is you, मधुर बालिका.

His sweet girl.

It’s gut wrenching what he feels for you. It’s not yearning. No no yearning is far too delicate a word for the ache that you cause inside of him.

What he feels for you is more much disgusting. So much so that he refuses to name and tries desperately to ignore it. But he can’t, not when you’re so willing to accept him, to take him as he is.

Fitting is it not? Anung Un Rama, a creature whose name means “and upon his brow is set a crown of flame” craving a sweet human girl like you?

Hedge knight Zor, is a ruthless mercenary traveling from settlement to settlement in a search of bounty. A bionic soldier of an unknown origin he is acompanied by his faithful steed and a symbiotic organism – a Gorgon also to be named Zor. To be precise, Zoe view themselves as a one creature, even though both have separate consciousnesses. However they are capable to link their minds and seances, as well as organ systems together through a special organ, resembling a black pulsating tentacle. It can be helpful both in case of search for their target, as in cases when one of the Zor is injured, or experiences an organ failure – connection can be helpful in healing and regeneration.
