#fantasy au my beloved

[therhythmafterthesummer]

The way that I thought I couldn't love the wereroomies more and then you keep replying to asks about them 😭 my babiesssssss I wonder if Chris (the wolf and the real chris) feels the same kind of need to protect that I feel? Because I'd do anything for them lmao

I wanted yo ask if you have any favorite fantasy fics? Or anything you'd recommend in general? ty 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

i love replying to your wereroomies related asks !! they inspire me a lot ! they also help me organise my thoughts better when it comes to the AU, cuz a lot of things are just floating aimlessly in my head lol

as for fantasy fic recommendations.... my masterlist🫡 nah, i'm kidding. fun fact that you didn't ask for: i started writing for this fandom in the first place bc i couldn't find enough fantasy AUs. i'm a fantasy AU girly and when i tell you i CRAVE those stories i mean it sdkjfhsjkdf.

with that being said, here are some i dug out from my rec tag. most of these writers have many fantasy related fics that i haven't gotten to yet, so make sure to check out their masterlists as well !

Fantasy AU lore masterpost:

It is finally here. The worldbuilding. The lore. This one is a long one, but there will be more posts to come. Buckle up friendos, this is a comfort au and I'm very enthusiastic about it. /lh

(oh. and another thing. if its not obvious for my comfort aus: my pirate au is heavily inspired by PotC, and this au is heavily inspired by LotR. They're both my comfort films/books so most of my worldbuilding has that vibe)

-

World:

There are many kingdoms for each type of being.

Mountains, rivers, fields and flatlands, marshes, forests.

Giant castles and mighty vast kingdoms, and small villages and close safe kingdoms.

There are quite a few realms of the elves, many elven rulers in their respective kingdoms. Some are close, some are quite the distance from the next.

The same can be said for men and dwarves, but the humans have the least, simply because they make their kingdoms bigger (and also do not live as long-)

Fae folk have much smaller kingdoms and are usually quite hidden in forests or sheltered areas, there aren’t many kingdoms left.

Star fae no longer have any known standing kingdoms remaining.

There is a special mountain that has a beacon of light, which ensures peace, harmony, light and life throughout the lands.

This beacon is formed by a fallen star that- well- Fell. from the sky. And landed on the mountain.

One day this star started to crack because of the different lands and beings starting to fight with each other, the imbalance of harmony and such tore the star apart and it shattered into pieces.

(there is still a chunk of the star in the mountain, but without all of the pieces it cannot shine)

These pieces got taken or lost over time, kingdoms -both good and evil- snatching the magic for themselves.

Many hundreds of years pass and many folks have forgotten about the star crystals or pass them off as something that will never be found or returned.

Everything was okay until darkness started to emerge and take over the lands more rapidly.

That's when the main plot takes place!!

-

Certain kingdoms are at war/don’t get along:

Elves vs fae - elves constantly try to hunt and capture fae for their magic.

Elves are the reason for the star fae “going extinct”, as they would kill them for their magic as they thought it would bring them closer to the stars.

Dwarves vs dragon shifters - dwarves typically only care for gold and resources. So do dragons and dragon shifters. They saw competition and try to wipe out and capture dragon shifters.

Humans have various quarrels with different beings and kingdoms just because they often fight over land.

Some kingdoms just don’t get along.

-

Some are allies/protected by others:

Dwarves and elves are allies very recently trying to make amends with each other.

Dwarves swore to protect fae, by taking them in if need be and providing shelter.

Different beings:

Humans - beings that wield little to no magic. Often quarrel with other species, starting war over land and wanting more power and control.

Elves - (quite a lot more problematic than thought at first) Ethereal beings that -usually- wield a strong amount of magic. They worship light and stars, however will start fights to get what they want, especially wanting more magic (despite having a lot already)

Dwarves - beings that wield small amounts of magic and are known for their attraction to gold and their craftsmanship. All they really care about is finding good resources and gold, so they've started a few quarrels over that.

Fae - beings made up of magic, drawing their magic from their soul and utilising it in a way that is unique to them and the type of fae they are. They simply want peaceful lives but always seem to be at the receiving end of attacks and wars for their magic.

Shifters - a type of fae, whose magic allows them to shift into different types of animals, creatures, etc. typically stay out of the way of other beings and most others don't pick fights with them.

Dragon Shifters - a type of shifter who gets a separate category because of the sheer power they hold. Beings with incredible magic, the ability to sense others magical abilities and an intense attraction to gold and light. They utilise parts of both light and dark magic and have the ability to fix broken objects and things and seek out magic. Usually very respected by other beings.

Dragons - not the same as a shifter, these are purely just dragons. And they are seen as powerful and regal creatures who no one messes with. They are either respected or feared and it's usually both. Though, having a dragon on your side, shifter or non-shifter, is a very good thing.

Star fae - A stronger type of fae being, made up of magic and light drawn directly from the stars. They have the most powerful light magic. Almost entirely wiped out, there are a few left but most other beings think that they're extinct. Sought after for their magic, and a belief that drawing magic from a star fae will bring the person closer to the stars.

Wraiths - Shadow beings that wield dark magic and are born from the shadows. They only wish to spread more shadow and darkness, that is all they live for.

“Shadow elves/dwarves/men/etc” - beings that were taken over by shadow and darkness, often killed by wraiths and reborn as an empty shadow of themselves.

Dark elves/dwarves/fae - not to be confused with the above, this is just a term that some use to refer to a being that uses dark magic instead of light. In the timespan of the plot, dark magic users are seen as dangerous and not liked, but they're not always bad.

Wizards exist. they just exist.

“Soul watcher” - a being that passes as a type of wizard, and is relatively unknown. Has the ability to see into prophecies and communicate/heal the dead. They wield dark magic. Not much is known, but it’s said that when the time is right, they choose their successor to take over them and gain their powers. Can be any type of being :)

Magic:

Light Magic - magic drawn from light, usually the stars. Typically this spans over flowers and branches and leaves, warmth and wind, rushing rivers and water. Soil, healing, growth.

Dark Magic - magic drawn from the shadows and darkness. Typically this spans over the roots of plants deep underground, storm clouds, blizzards and deep bodies of water. Deep deep down in the earth. Also has the ability to heal, just in a different manner. 

Shadows - the strongest source for dark magic

Stars - the strongest source for light magic

And that is all for now!!!

Don't worry, I have a story lore post coming up and also a design post, so please look forward to that <3

Fantasy au means "you can do so much shit your mind runs wild" 😭 So much for the au. Doesn't help I can think and think

The Automaton King is indeed very sus and the other rulers kind of feel the same but they cant exactly do much due to the plague 😂 (and Hel doesn't quite want to step too much on his toes. She is at the end of the day just a squishy bag of gore that can easily be taken care of if she pushes too much)

Hel is appreciated by some, not by all though :( (I did have a thought if she's had a few assassins she's never known about due to Dawn and Galaxy..."dealing" with them)

Good. The more the merrier. At this point your au is one of the things keeping me alive.

Hel: I’m gonna toe this line so much, but not gonna cross it because common sense.

The other royals: our hero

I hope Dawn and Galaxy dealt with them… throughly.

Fanart!!! For @sunnys-aesthetic and her amazing Designs of her Fairy AU involving Sun and Moon

I wanted to make a little something with my interpretation of her Sun, and his warm palette! ^^

(Likes are appreciated, but reblog comments are fun to read)

Bard-aby <3 except he's only loosely a bard bc i don't subscribe to absolutes <3

rambles:

BARNABY WITH PANTS??? BLASPHEMY!!! however this is a (dnd-inspired) fantasy au so. pants! loose pants tucked into modified boots because no one can tell me No!

based off of Clown's pokemon au human Barn, it seems like he might be a bit of a jewelry guy! he was wearing rings! and had an earring! also i think Barn just looks great w/ some extra shinies, yk yk

since ties aren't really a Thing in fantasy settings, i combined the iconic pattern w/ his vest for a two-in-one. then suspenders bc they fuck severely! his belt buckle is a bone both as a nod to the pattern on his tie / house decoration, and to go along with how Wally has an apple buckle! besties stay twinning!

you can't see it but on his other side he has his pack & his smoking pipe holster, which attaches to his belt! it's very high quality leather that he spent so much money on. his pipe is important to him - he carved it himself out of wood from an important tree from his childhood, so he wants it to be properly stored & protected! he has two kinds of tobacco for it - normal, and magic tobacco that essentially allows him to cast minor spells w/ the smoke

the feathers on his hat are from Ms. Beagle! in my mind he left the farm to go adventuring on a bit of a bad note, but his mama made sure to give him a couple feathers to take with so that she'd always be close <3

he keeps his claws blunt so that he doesn't accidentally scratch people/things, and so that he can play stringed instruments without cutting the strings. while i imagine for this au he plays a wide range, he prefers Loud Handheld Instruments that allow him to sing along. so in mind he has an Accordion here! loud! jaunty! but i imagine he also keeps a recorder in his pack for when Frank needs annoying. (he did have a lute, but he broke it over someone's head in the act of defending Wally's honor)

im still trying to pin down the right balance of colors for his outfit, but! for a little au tidbit - all of his spots are the same two blues as his ears. in this im imagining that he, at a young age, learned a very basic cosmetic spell that allowed him to change his spots color to mimic Ms. Beagle's! he wanted to look like his mama! but by the time he's in his late 20s he no longer changes his spots

ohhhh i forgot to add his pockets. Oh Well

I'M LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS CONAN x FRIEREN COVER OH MY GOD

[birdmetaphors]

the princess in the swamp-witch's lair 🍄💫

at long last, i've added neptune to the fantasy au 😌 was thinkin about these tags on the jupivenus post courtesy of @glass-threads :

to sum this au up briefly, princess Venus comes out as a trans girl shortly after turning 18, and her parents indulge her but don't really take her seriously, sticking her in a dress and hoping she's just having a phase. Venus still feels awkward and miserable, yearning for a different body and pining for her tough, handsome, frustratingly repressed bodyguard Jupiter.

when the elusive swamp-witch Neptune hears of Venus' plight from one of her animal messengers, she swiftly abducts the princess and takes her to her cave in the wilderness. with the spells and elixirs at her disposal, she'll turn Princess Venus into the girl she's always wanted to be.... but why stop there?

🍿Watching movies with Astarion Headcanons!🍿

(Because I literally put this in a chapter of 'This Bites'.)

Astarion's favorite genre would obviously be horror movies.

All the gore and carnage really gets him excited.

He WILL give you a hard time for showing any fear.

"Really darling? After everything we've been through this is what reduces you to a shivering kitten. It's rather embarrassing sweetie."

He'll roll his eyes and pull you into his lap, wrapping his arms around you. "I suppose I'll just have to keep you safe then. You poor sweet pitiful thing."

Of course if the horror movie has clowns anywhere in it he's the one acting like a terrified kitten.

But he won't admit it. "I was NOT afraid. I'm a vampire! I'm far more frightening than some makeup caked fool!"

Refuses to let you comfort him and just sits there, paranoidly looking over his shoulders.

Alien horror movies (especially the weird grotesque slimy alien ones) are also not recommended as they make him very nauseous.

You may end up having to clean blood off the carpet.

Vampire movies annoy him. Too many inaccuracies and some of the tropes don't make sense to him.

Especially the brooding male vampire lead who's so tormented because he has to kill people.

"Oh boo hoo you murdered a bunch of villains. Get over it. Killing is the best part of being a vampire! Fucking poser."

He'll hate watch some of the shitty vampire flicks with you tho

Lives for drama filled flicks. The more chaos the better.

Any comedy movie with meanspirited or immature humor is a win, it'll keep him entertained as long as it's not too stupid.

He doesn't get into nerdy fantasy movies too much. The man literally lives in a medieval fantasy world so he's seen a lot of the Lord of the rings type stuff first hand.

He'll watch them with you at least once tho.

Gets annoyed if you watch a nerdy flick with Gale because the wizard won't shut up about if what is going on in the movie is actually possible/realistic and keeps listing random geeky facts about his favorite films.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP GALE!"

Secretly likes mushy romance movies, but you'll never get him to admit it.

Only openly enjoys them if they have a lot of sex scenes.

Of course he's gonna tease you if you're the type to get embarrassed during those scenes.

Very subtly runs his hand over your thigh without even looking at you.

Has a smug smirk on his face while he does it too.

May or may not be interested in some as the kids say 'netflix and chill'.

Depends on his mood really.

Drinks a little bit of your blood while watching if you offer it to him.

Will ugly cry if a loveable dog or cat dies at the end of the movie.

Might be putting way more effort into this account now that the musk man is going ban crazy and linktree is TOS 🙄

human au doodles... trying to figure them out

[barbiemenslayer69]

I don't guys but I've been thinking. Like there is a universe in which Zelda didn't get her GED and just- continued highschool. And- like then she gets caught up in Porter's "I'm-gonna-kill-and-become-a-god" plot bc- she's a zealot barbarian. AND follows the god of wine and ecstacy. She's already like... Halfway there y'know. And I really think that there is a story there where she and Gorgug are still together and we find out the master evil plot through thst betrayal? Y'know?

Like Porter gets Zelda to multiclass junior year into paladin (zealot barbarian!! Half way there!!) and then she finds out their plot Lucy Frostblade -style and then gets killed and shatterstared. Or maybe she just stays dead like Lucy and it's a more emotional moment for the whole party?

And it would give Porter just one more thing on Thistlespring, y'know? Get 'im Angry bc his girlfriend is doing so much better than him "She knows how to multiclass, Thistlespring. None 'o that artificing crap."

I don't know guys, but you see it right? You see where I'm going with this???
