Sorry to ask but wtf is the marauders? I only hp films and I'm confused

HARRY POTTER TW BELOW

i was a harry potter nerd ages 8-14 and dipped during the 2018-19 early jkr transphobe era when she was liking tweets about magdalen berns and maya forstater and then going naurrrr it was a mistake i misclicked!! i distinctly remember explaining to a teacher about it and the teacher going "oh idk im sure it was a mistake shes very feminist and charitable" well whos vindicated now. anyway unfortunately i have a lot of lore stuck in my head from when i wrote wattpad fanfiction at 13.

so canonically the marauders are like a nickname that james potter (harry's dad), sirius black (the dog guy), remus lupin (the werewolf guy), and peter pettigrew (the rat one) called themselves when they were at school. they're the ones who made the marauder's map, that magic map that fred n george give harry.

in fandom, the marauders era refers to basically the entire cast of characters who were around during the marauders school years during the 60s and 70s and 80s. eg snape, lily evans (harry's mum), pandora lovegood (luna's mum), regulus black (sirius' brother), and like all the other random ass order of the phoenix and death eaters who happen to be around at that point (marlene mckinnon, mary macdonald, barty crouch jr, evan rosier, etc etc etc)

its all made up and entirely fanon built on top of fanon. its been around for ages, i remember seeing tumblr incorrect quotes reposted on instagram in 2015 like its been FOREVER but it blew up in 2020 during the dark academia tiktok explosion and now its forever ingrained in shitty internet culture.

you would think in a world where half the characters are nazis and the other half are anti nazis that these characters might like hate each other but that's canon and the fandom has about as good a grasp on optics and narrative as the author does. often its just an AU where voldemort doesnt exist and pure-blood supremacy is just window dressing and treated the same as the way sexism/feminism is treated in fandom

i will say a lot of the current hp fandom do disagree with jkr's views and dont engage with anything she's published recently (like the video games n shit) but like a vast majority still do. and sorry making all the characters pansexual and trans to spite jkr does not actually make a meaningful difference in the world but whatever

anyway hope that explains it. and i didnht even get into jegulus...

4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

The first one is obvious… Sonic himself! Wouldn't make sense to spend so much time on a Sonic fic if I didn't care about his universe. That said, I don't intend to pull an Archie with the lore. Stellar focuses on its own story and setting that just so happens to partially incorporate one previous bit of lore, in a similar manner to what SA1 did with the backstory introduced in S3&K. There are some mild references to other lore, but never in a way that tries in vain to wrap it all together in a neat little bow.

The environments are also largely inspired by that of previous Sonic locales. Mostly from non-mainline installments, since for various reasons (being on a handheld ala Advance/Rush, being a racer ala Riders/Rivals/Sonic R, being on motion controls ala Storybooks), they didn't have the same level of freedom as those in the main games, meaning there's a lot to expand on and make something new out of.

The other major influence for environments and aesthetics is, you guessed it, Spyro. I make no secret that le purple dragon has helped shape up the world of Viridonia aesthetically, but unlike fans who think Sonic should be little more than Furry DBZ, or IDW making random anime references that don't work, there is some thought put into it, and never at the expense of the Sonic universe's own identity. I think both worlds are very similar in aesthetics anyway, so if I see something in Spyro that makes me think "Wow, that would be so cool to see in Sonic!", I then think of how to translate it in a form that benefits Sonic's world, as opposed to wondering why the square doesn't fit in the round hole.

For the mystic entities that are tied to the Ethereal Zone, since they each have different powers, shapes and colours, I got the idea to base each of them on a different mythological creature for a subtle thematic resonance despite how otherwise different they are from each other. They're not one-to-one like the creatures they're inspired from mind you, they're definitely Sonicy interpretations (eg: the fire-themed one is a mix between a phoenix and a feathered serpent ala Quetzalcoatl, since I wasn't sure if making it a phoenix straight-up would make it sound too similar to Ifrit from Rivals 2), but I thought it'd be a fun twist on the giant monster schtick… though it helps that all of them are controlled via Time Eater-esque cybernetics by a certain round chum. Going out of control? Upstaging Eggman? In a Crusher fic? Not happening, son.

And speaking of the doctor, obviously I've took notes from many of his game portrayals, with S3&K's determination, SA1's dickery, and Forces' cunning being three of the biggest examples. But another influence for my interpretation of the doctor is the Mother 3 portrayal of Porky Minch: specifically, how he is clearly working towards a big end goal, yet is also simultaneously setting up seemingly unrelated projects all over Viridonia, playing its population (save Trudy) for fools, and overall treating the island as though it's his personal playground. This is not a Mephiles situation however: all of this does turn out to play a part in his endgame. He just happened to plan it out in a way that can also feed into his ego and hedonism in the meantime.

And Trudy… is Trudy. There were some mild influences for certain aspects of her design, but her personality pretty much grew upon itself as I built on her. I wanted to create a character that was mellow, but still fun and quirky, and could still bounce off Sonic and Co without being seen as "the boring one" or "the nag who can't be bothered with Sonic". I also find an appeal in shy characters finding the courage to do things they'd never expect themselves to do, so y'know.

There are other bits of inspiration I could mention, which includes concepts that are neither Sonic or Spyro-related… but I don't want to spoil more than necessary for now. XP

39. Share a snippet from a WIP

Note: This is a slightly older draft of the moment in question, so there might be some minor differences in the final one.

Sonic grew concerned by her stunned reaction, hoping that he didn't offend her. "You don't mind it, do you?"

"No, of course not. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's just…" Her right hand clutched the fingers of the other, subtly squeezing them in the process. Her vision was directed at a nonspecific pile of red leaves not too far away from them. This all seemed so silly. There was really no justification for this. No excuse for her to treat such a thing with the kind of awe reserved for being within the presence of an omnipotent. And yet…

"No one's… no one's ever given me a nickname before…"

Sonic appeared to be puzzled by this, which was then followed by him exchanging a brief glance with Tails. His lifelong pal simply gave him a shrug in response.

"If it's any consolation," the fox piped up, with a faint hint of a smirk morphing on his face. "Some of his nicknames are better than others."

"Hey!" Sonic playfully raised his arms in defense, which did nothing to hide his sheepish grin. "So what if they can get a little simple! If she doesn't like it, I can totally drop it! If I have to get my head around the right pronunciation of her name, then so be it!"

"No, it's… it's nice," she insisted softly. A gentle smile slowly found itself on her face as well. "It's an honor, truly. You can call me that if you want to."

"You sure?"

A simple, meek nod was what he received, and it was at this point that her eyes shifted once more. After what appeared to be some hesitance, they gained the courage to meet with Sonic's own.

Sonic's eyes held onto their shared gaze for a couple of seconds, before he turned to Tails again. The fox only gave another shrug, this time to suggest that there was no further reason to debate the matter. After a silent understanding between the two heroes, the hedgehog nodded triumphantly.

"Well then," he announced, with a wink for his new friend. "I guess it's truly Trudy from now on!" As he gave a characteristic thumbs up, she could only continue smiling at the display, and her ears lowered ever so slightly. This was all so very sudden for her even now, but if they sincerely value her company and assistance, then maybe... maybe... it wouldn't hurt to keep tagging along with them.

40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

I wouldn't be fussy, since I'd be grateful for any moments, or environments, that they decided to portray.

But if I had to pick one… I suppose a certain confrontation between Trudy and Eggman would be awesome. Or a certain heart-to-heart between Trudy and Sonic. :>

Hello! Hatt here, a proud citizen of Wizard Island.

So basically, Wizard Island is where we all live, each in our own towers or wherever (eg: I have a den). Anything can happen on Wizard Island (eg: it was on fire recently), but you don't have to participate in stuff you don't want to.

Big events happening: the anti magic guy (Watts) is doing a story with Wizard Eater (who is a citizen).

The Gnome is a fun person to interact with if you want an intro to silly rp.

There is a map that Dr Corvius (yourlocalbreadenthusiast) is in charge of, but I don't think its necessary to rp, just for lore

I hope this summary helps.

My friend wants to create a wizardblr, could you summarise wizard island island so I can send it to them?

OH BOY. I'm tired at the moment, anyone else wanna attempt this? @the-gnomish-bastard @greyhound-with-a-mega-wizard-hat @combustion-wizard

The Lore: Pantheon Part 1

Let's start this series with a basic introduction into the deities existing in my universe. 

They will be divided into Pre/Post-Great Extinction*. It is also important to know it's hard to compare those two groups to eachother, but it's generally more accepted that the Post-GE Gods also known as Guardians** are a lot more powerful than Pre-GE Gods.

The only exception to the Pre/Post rule would be the Creator itself.

The Creator: 

It's really hard to define this being ... if it even can be defined. It can be considered the ultimate God/Goddess, seeing as it is the reason everything else exists. 

It was The Creator who made the first World*** and made the first four Gods. It is very much a "What you make of it, that it is" type of a being, seeing as it has no defined gender, look or motives. 

The Creator might be considered a force that simply desires for things to continue in one way or another. Pre-EG Gods had more contact with this being, even considering it their parent.

Pre-Great Extinction Gods:

They may seem like an almost simplified version of those that can Post-GE. They had their assigned roles and worlds. They also had the task of creating more worlds, which they usually did to fit their own image. In some occasions, two or more Gods came together to create something, but that was a rare occurrence.

Shiba: 

Also known as the Goddess behind the mirror. Is the deity of darkness and mother of monsters. Tricked by the sister she was locked within an eternal mirror where she created the first monstrosities now know as the race of De'Ama. 

She is the eldest of the Pre-GE pantheon and widely considered the strongest as the Creator assigned her the End Task**** of killing her siblings as restarting the universe. 

Hebra:

She is the total opposit of her sister. Know as the Goddess of Blinding Light, she created the race of De-Vina, beings of pure light who latered degraded into flesh beings and separated into two fractions. The De-Vina Angelus and De-Vina Lapsus. 

She is the only deity that didn't leave a direct descended in some shape or form, instead she bestowed her abbilities on another.

Her assigned End Task was to make sure life will continue after the restart.

Hronus

The Father of Time. Hronus was resposible for assigning everything in existance it's time. He also made sure that no one can go back in time and mess things up. 

Hronus created The Time Eaters who devoured past to make place for future. The easiest way to depict Pre-GE time would be to think of it as if it was a wheel chart devided into three different sections [Past, Present, Future] that are constantly moving. 

Hronus was also the one who created World Records, which were the only means of changing the past.

His assigned end task was to make sure the pre-restart time line was not accesible by anyone, even the Gods

Fenfir

The Elementar Wolf also known as The Creator of Things. He made sure that the Worlds were stabile, that all elements existed in harmony and worked as they should be. Fenfir created the De-Elementia, beings which helped him create a stable ecosystem. 

It is also to him that the other Gods had to go if they desired to create any new creature, regardless if living or unliving.

His assigned End Task was to keep one of each Element safe through the restart.

*Great Extinction:

It was an event that wiped out nearly 90% of all existence, not to be mistaken with restarting the universe. The Great Extinction an unexpected event caused by War. Neither the Gods nor the Creator were prepared for it.

**Guardians:

Those that came Post-GE decided to not call themselves Gods, seeing as the Gods were responsible for the War that cause th extinction. 

Instead the chose to call themselves Guardians

***World 

A World in this universe is a self sutainable unit. It has its equiviliant of hell and heaven, which are the place for lesser angelic and demonic beings, as well as its connected to at least of the Grand Worlds [home to the Gods/Guardians] and the purgatory [place were souls are taken apart to be recreated]

****End Task

Was an assign set of things given to each God. It was their end goal, a reason to go on. How set task was to be accomplished was left to the God itself.

The only additional rule was given to Shiba and forbid her from finishing her End Task before any other God, though the rest of them did not know about it.

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

they ABSOLUTELY get special traits!

they are as unique to one another as the bat species they originate from

vampire folklore differs between cultures and countries because the vampire species are all so different

eg;

Africa is home to a lot of insectivorous bats so transforming into fireflies (or possibly even other insects they've consumed) would be an insectivorous vampire trait (as for the hunting children, it's most likely they just try to scare them away as they don't prey on humans)

I imagine due to the enormous number of different insectivorous bat species there would be even more differences among them than any other vampire species, insect eaters have hundreds of sub cultures among their kind (I would have to do a lot more research on vampire lore to get deeper into this tho)

vampire bats are only really found in South America, so their folklore on blood drinkers would be most accurate

blood drinking vampires also have plenty of lore about them shifting shape, like the insectivorous vamps they can change into what they've consumed, that includes humans, their natural form is extremely bat like in appearance (to the point of appearing almost monstrous)

(I personally think vampire bats are very cute but probably not when they're six foot tall and coming at me in a dark alley) they often use the forms of humans they drink from, many will attack attractive humans as an attempt to appear more alluring, which is where the seductive vampire trope was born

a lot of blood drinking vampire myths come out of Europe where vampire bats aren't generally found, I like to think that one especially nasty vampire migrated from South America to Europe and singlehandedly started an absolute pandemic

fruit eating vampires don't have the transformation ability, but like the blood drinkers they do all take on the features of the fruit bat, with large eyes and pointed faces, typically considered to be quite beautiful in an unsettling sort of way

except hammer headed fruit bat vampires

people often mistaken them for blood drinkers, and unfortunately as they have no shape shifting ability, they are the most persecuted vampires and often live deep in the woods in isolation, the places they inhabit are often believed to be haunted as they do everything in their power to drive people away, including destroying logging machines, in some places they have a sort of camaraderie with local humans who are also dedicated to protecting their forests, they're especially friendly with park rangers, who are used to their presence and know that they're harmless as they will usually help them find lost hikers and children

the hammer headed fruit bat vampires are the only ones to typically show up in folklore as vampires, the rest are more commonly mistaken to be faeries, due to their tendency to show up in forests and throw wild parties where they dance and sing in a hypnotic manner, drawing any passersby in, those who partake of the fruit and become one of them will be spirited away never to be seen again, except perhaps in a hundred years time as they return to their home appearing as young as when they'd left, but with strange pointed features and those large dark eyes

in regards to being infected by two different vampire types, I imagine it'd mostly be a case of which strain takes hold the quickest and wins out over the other, if by extremely rare odds they are matched, you'd either die of fever as your body becomes a warzone, or you'd end up as a potentially extremely unstable hybrid

if you're lucky you'd be able to sustain yourself on both diets, though some vampires would reject you as something strange and unnatural, perhaps even seeing you as a bad omen, especially if you appear with a visible mix of features

if you're unlucky your body will reject all food and you'll starve a long agonisingly slow death where you go into a mad fury trying to consume what your instincts say should feed you but your fucked up biology won't accept

thankfully this situation is so rare it's almost folkloric among vampires themselves, it probably happens no more than once a century if that, and most of them don't even survive the initial infection

why are the modern interpretations of vampires only based on one kind of bat, give me vampires based on other bats

give me vampires that eat only fruit or bugs

give me vampires with cute foxy faces or big ugly noses

give me slight and petite vampires based on microbats, or tall and beefy vamps based on the giant bats from the Philippines

give me different vampire species who all have their own cultures and social system of cliques and rivalries, give me vampires whose appearance varies based on what bats are common in their country

blood drinkers are the classic high class variety of snooty vampire who love drama and plaster themselves all over media as super cool and sexy, when really if they let their glamour slip you can see they all have big ears and weird noses, they have a toxic culture of looking down on humans as nothing but a food source

there are definitely sub cultures among this type of vampire who find different ways of eating, like working for a blood bank and pinching supplies, or posing as an alternative medicine practitioner who specialises in old medical techniques like blood letting or using leeches

this is only really an issue for city life blood drinkers tho, those who live rural have a much easier time feeding off cattle who have more than enough blood to spare, a vampire can easily feast on a different cow each night with no fatalities, these vampires usually hang in smaller groups so as not to overdrink from the cattle, and they have a much better attitude toward humans since they don't only see them as a snack, they'll often work with humans to guard their more vulnerable animals at night from predators like foxes

bug eating vamps have a long history of running pest control services, and mostly mind their own business, they tend to be very down to earth and private and sometimes embarrassed to admit their eating habits to humans, but they've been making some headway in turning bug eating from something inherently gross into an interesting food trend in western cultures, they also have a higher population count in countries where eating insects is less unusual since many of them tend to move there for the more tasty seasoned options

the only way to be turned into a bug eating vamp is via bug bite transmission, their populations are heaviest in areas dense with mosquitoes, though the more vampires there are in the area, the less mosquitoes there tend to be since they, you know, eat them, so the populations don't tend to bloom out of control, but as a result of this method many freshly turned vamps have no one to explain what has happened to them, most bug eater communities are hyper vigilant to the behaviour of people around them, always on the lookout for signs of the recently turned so that they can support them

their appearances vary wildly from region to region based on the local bat species they originated from, a majority of bats are insectivores, so this makes them the most common of vampire species

fruit eaters are the least common and tend to lead the most normal lives since fruit is usually widely available in most civilisations, but there are many who run their own fruit farms and orchards, often forming little communities among themselves that can get very cult-like from an outside perspective due to them all sharing somewhat similar fox-like features and keeping very odd working hours, some regular humans sometimes try to join the commune but often struggle with the very limited fruit based diet and nocturnal lifestyle unless they take vitamin supplements and are natural night owls

accidental vampirism tends to happen a lot in fruit bat vamp circles because the method involves a vampire sharing a piece of fruit with a human, which is remarkably easy to do by accident since they tend to share amongst themselves a lot, especially when they've been snacking on the fermented stuff and aren't paying a lot of attention to who they're sharing with

I dunno if anything like this exists already in any forms of media but I definitely haven't seen anything like it before and I just thought it was a fun and interesting idea

puzzle for eg eater

[sorushing]

LORE:

dust: director’s cut

dust is a particle that is purely theoretical. We know that it exists; but we cannot prove anything else about it.

what we know is just speculation.

scientists have hypothesised something called “The Dust Cycle”

Pure Dust is generated ( no one knows the true source. I, as author of this universe, can tell you that it is spirits.) it is now in its “pure” state; which humans cannot use. The first Vikings who build the islands believed that is humanity could use this “pure” dust, they would become gods. Unfortunately, if it isn’t converted within a few hours; it either turns into Lumin, a power-suppressing gem/powder that can harm anyone with a karyon, OR it decays into disempowered dust. It’s like a 25/75 split of Lumin/disempowered dust

a dust-eater breathes in the disempowered dust and uses their power, turning it into charged dust. They essentially do photosynthesis but for superpowers. Their powers are usually ones that have longer effects, eg water manipulation.

a dust-breather then inhales this charged dust and uses their power in turn. Their powers usually last shorter, like energy blasts. The dust turns into disempowered dust and this cycle repeats.

karyons are granted by spirits, and these spirits determine what your power is. These spirits usually have contracts with families, so a family will usually have similar powers pop up frequently.

And I shan’t say anymore about karyon origins because that would be a massive spoiler XD

Next post would be more Worldbuilding about people.

@sanfangirl here you go!

1/?

Okay Okay Sorusing you've got me intrigued: What is FLY?!!!!

thanks for asking @sanfangirl !!! It’s my favorite things ever: superheroes, secret identities, and Hiccstrid. and modern AU, of course.

(So, FLY was the title I picked after seeing one of those motivational posts of it being an acronym for “first love yourself”. In the original iteration of this AU, it used to be more important, but the actually flying is also important lol. It’s not really that good of a title anymore but eh.)

—

This is my superhero AU (“really, not much to know” is actually the AU of this AU) in which Astrid is training to be a superhero sidekick at school. Her family name is disgraced, so she cannot become a “solo” hero without lots of extra work in college. She has extremely good control over her water powers.

in this universe, everyone born in “The Above” (artificial flying islands above th earhipelago after a war) is born with something called a “karyon”: a mark/bead on the beach that grants them powers by using a particle called dust.

I have an entire 10 minute explanation on dust that is plot-relevant but I’m skipping it right now for brevity’s sake

one day, she is confronted with an odd situation: a vigilante who’s powers don’t work how powers SHOULD work, fighting a new kind of villain that recently popped up. He doesn’t have a karyon, and neither do these new villains who seem to permanently be beserk and incapable of human speech or thought.

after this odd meeting, she wakes up in the middle of the night, outside her house, after having an odd dream, and her powers are…off. Instead of water manipulation, she can now fire off odd spikes…and why can she smell so well?!

—

She eventually discovers more about the situation: these new villains are people controlled by a villain that the vigilante - whom she’s dubbed “black” - calls “The Queen”, and are being hypnotised to do her bidding.

she eventually agrees to help him out, and joins him in his fight against her, since the heroes aren’t doing anything about the situation and she knows they won’t budge any time soon.

The vigilante calls himself “Night Fury” which as her laughing at first: him? Name himself after the unholy offspring of lightning and death that all of the Seven Families boasted to have survived encounters with?

But then she realised that his powers fit the creature to a T: the lightning. The super speed. She invisibility.

and then, more puzzle pieces click. She’s somehow gotten the powers of a Nadder. All of these new villains are dragon themed…so the Queen must have some obsession with the ancestral dragons.

things spiral from there.

—

on hiccup’s side of things, life isn’t looking great at all: the only person in the above who doesn’t have a karyon.

he has three and they all don’t work properly at all. They even cause him so much harm that he had to undergo surgery to get one removed.

His father is the shining beacon of his family, the leader of the Seven, superheroes of epic proportions who are gods among men, essentially.

his mother is Skullcrusher’s second in command who has control over the Alpha Matrix, a device that monitors all superpower usage. (And a certain kind of superhuman but shhh he doesn’t know that)

and then, there’s him, Hiccup. he’s just a screw-up. He is not worth of either family name and knows the other relatives in the council are dying to kick him out and leave him nameless. To make him a nobody.

So it doesn’t surprise him in the slightest when his father sends him to live with his aunt to avoid the media.

hiccup knows it’s to hide the fact that his son is weak, or that he even HAS a son, but alas.

-

when hiccup was young, a supervillain did something to his karyons. Hiccup knows better than to ask which villain.

For whenever he asks; his father or mother just shake their head or freeze, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

he knows his karyon was messed up by a villain, and someday? Someday he WILL find out which villain and give him a piece of his mind. —

things don’t exactly begin to look up once the dreams start.

dreams in which is body doesn’t ache whenever he gets into contract with high concentrations of dust.

Dreams in which he can freely leap across rooftops, dreams in which he is fighting villains effortlessly from afar with his lightning powers - well not completely effortlessly, but still!! - and shows great mastery over his lightning and super speed-

powers which he doesn’t have. At all.

or…does he?

things derail further once a certain blonde girl in blue begins to pop up in his dreams, stubborn, fierce, and…wait isn’t that his classmate?!

-

also another fun fact: Gothi is a tattooist in this AU.

—

eventually, the other dragon riders would show up…but I’m not that far yet.

———

this is my oldest au and the one that has been reworked the most.

anyways I think I should stop here before I type an entire essay. Thanks for asking :D
