#fantasy hijinks au

[caffetato-the-caffeinated-potato]

I'm finally done with this! That last page took me ages to finish. I could have just done a crowd in a void like everyone else, but noooo, my brain had to insist on making an actual background.

I really like how I rendered these, though. I'm thinking that it might be the style I use for the main TTAU comic when I get to that point.

Cannot wait to get started actually interacting with other AUs in the @tmntaucompetition! The hijink potential of taking characters from a vaguely medieval fantasy setting and having them interact with characters from a more modern setting is going to be so fun to work with!

Fantasy Sulemio for Sulemio week! I’ve had this AU in my head for at least a year and wow can I talk about it a lot. Basics are Witch!Suletta crashes into Princess!Miorine’s balcony and then hijinks ensue.

We love a sun witch Suletta because she’s Mio’s light :D

[messy-crisantemo]

Since last week, I wanted to make a

🎴 GenTan fic recommendation list Part 2! 🍉

Don’t forget to check out Part 1 too!

As the last time, this list is based on my personal likes and, ofc, on the fics I’ve read. I tried to include all GenTan flavors ❤️💜 They’re not put in any particular order and most of them are completed fics. I’m adding some of the tags, but not all of them since I don’t want to make this post extra long, so please read them again once you go to the Ao3 link. Anime-onlies, beware of spoilers. Please enjoy!

(Figure skating AU, Modern Setting, Fluff and Angst, Slow Burn, Aged-Up Character(s), Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining)

The life of a figure skater is short. People expect you to retire at a young age and the moment you have an injury and take a break to recover, you're done for.

Shinazugawa Genya had to deal with it now that he's gotten the biggest injury on his skating career. And the press isn't helping at all, either.

The only light keeping him connected to the figure skating world? Kamado Tanjirou.

Starting with a classic! This beautiful slow burn explores the nature of their relationship as something that makes grow both Genya and Tanjirou. It has lots of funny and tender moments.

(Modern Setting, Meet-Cute, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Getting Together, First Kiss, POV Alternating, Fluff and Humor, Scheming)

Tanjiro takes his siblings to see the Barbie movie, Genya’s siblings drag him along, and Parent Trap levels of shenanigans ensue.

No Barbie Movies were spoiled in the making of this fic.

One of the funniest and most adorable fics I’ve ever read. If you need a boost of sugar, this is it.

June Bridegroom by 125389, 2k

(Canon Compliant, Post-Canon, Fluff and Angst, Established Relationship, Kamado Tanjirou-centric, Horror, Manga Spoilers)

Upon concluding an important day, the boundary between dreams and reality blurs as Tanjirou reveals the true nature of his feelings and whom he's really marrying.

A fic for those who love to suffer and don’t fear to embrace the tragic nature of GenTan.

a checkered haori by DragonsAndCryptids, 2k

(Post-Swordsmith Village Arc, Hurt/Comfort, Scents & Smells, Pre-Relationship, Fluff)

After the confrontation with Sanemi, Genya steals Tanjiro's haori because he likes the way it smells and it helps calm him down.

He doesn't want to address why that is, but when Tanjiro finds out, he doesn't give him much of a choice.

Tanjirou being Genya’s weak point, we all love it.

All Bark, No Bite by Rigmaroler, 92k

(Witch Tanjiro, Werewolf Genya, Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Hurt/Comfort, Falling in Love, Worldbuilding, Fluff, Action/Adventure, Sharing a Bed)

When Tanjirou first sees the wolf, he only has one thought in his head. He sees it under the light of the moon, just bright enough for the wet blood in its dark gray pelt to shine. Its teeth are bared, white, sharp and long as each of Tanjirou’s fingers. Its growl is a low bass rumble that Tanjirou can practically feel in his bones, rattling his spine. Its muzzle is stained red with blood, and marred with a jagged scar that cuts through its dense fur.

Or: Tanjirou is a witch's apprentice with a bad habit of bringing home strays. Genya is a young man who's been called a monster so many times, he's started to believe it.

Genya letting himself to be loved, Tanjirou learning that he can also want things for himself. Just beautiful.

The hidden stairs (Red velvet flicker) by Wild_Quetzal, 4k

(Alternate Universe - Vampire, Horror, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, vampire!Shinazugawa Genya, Dubious Morality, Enemies to Lovers)

A couple of minutes later, Tanjirou is left in his chambers. The place is big and empty. Despite the cold temperature, Tanjirou pays it no mind. He presses his ear against the heavy wooden door, then he sniffs it. Nothing seems out of place. He’s truly alone.

What the old lady who gave him instructions told him echoes in his mind: “That man is no Count. He’s a thief.”

Tanjirou arrives at the castle looking for answers. His host will only give him more questions. What is Genya hiding?

Yes, it’s the self-promo part. We had werewolf Genya and now we have vampire Genya in some very gothic and dramatic romance.

Isn’t that right, Commodore?” Before Steve could respond, Eddie rolled his eyes. “Captain.” His entire demeanor had changed. He was still locked in Tommy’s iron grip, but his posture relaxed as if he were bored, rather than on the brink of certain death. Tommy frowned like Eddie was an imbecile. “No, Munson, that’s Commodore Harrington right there.” Eddie grinned hard, a manic thing that still managed to light up his face. “I don’t give a shit. I’m Captain Eddie Munson.” [OR: the potc steddie au that literally no one asked for]

Fantasy/Royalty au where Toichi's mother went on the run with him after court intrigue, Toichi himself grew up effectively (but not legally) in exile after the incident, and although he kept planning to tell Kaito the whole story after he was born, he just... never got around to it. What with having become a thief in order to find a gem before the people who were the reason his mother went on the run did.

And then he dies, and Kaito grows up, and then Kaito finds out his dad was actually assassinated which is wild because he always thought his dad was just the most amazing and best performer in the kingdom and several others besides, and now there's all this other stuff he just... doesn't know.

So Kaito starts out closer to home, which is the easiest and objectively best thing since dad had ended up staying here and he must have for a reason, but on the other hand his childhood friend Aoko's father is the captain of the guard, and the prince is way too observant.

It's a good thing Kaito's got a knack for Hiding things as one of his personal special abilities. If someone's really paying attention then they'll be able to see through it. Aoko's dad doesn't, really. Most people don't. And they expect everything he does to be Real Magic, too, meaning they put counter-measures in place that he just slips past with his sleight of hand and Hiding tricks.

Saguru, though. The Hakuba family being the rulers of the Ekoda kingdom, and Saguru's father being all indulgent and encouraging to help the guard catch that thief (he'd have been around for Toichi, in this story, recognise the style and methodology if not who it is), and Saguru is fascinated.

I'm just thinking of a bunch of crazy adventures and hijinks in which Kaito's kind of courting Aoko as Kaito but also kind-of sort-of flirting with Saguru as Kaitou Kid.

Secrets come out (first with Aoko, because she knows him better, and he fully expects her to turn him in to her father but instead she cusses him out while healing an arrow injury while he whines and tries not to move) and then with Saguru (which starts with Kaito panicking because oh gods the prince has him figured out, he's gonna be executed and ends with "Aoko wants to meet you, is that okay? Be warned, she may try and give you a shovel talk because she's been like, my only friend since I was a kid, but she's been wanting to meet you ever since she realised I look the same when thinking about you as when I'm looking at her."

For a while things get a little dicey because it's a bit of a political scandal that the prince is getting involved with someone who doesn't even have a title-

And then the king throws a tournament and people from the surrounding kingdoms all turn up to join in the fun, and this one guy from one of the Western Kingdoms with a strong accent comes up to Kaito and starts talking with him like they're close friends, and when he's corrected he drags Kaito over to where his actual friend, who'd sent a messenger because he'd been waiting, is.

And then Yusaku, one of the neighbouring kings, takes one look at Kaito and recognises Toichi in him.

A not even a few days later, and Kaito is still coming to terms with having a cousin who's royalty, an uncle who's a king, and oh, huh, looks like the scandal's called off, because he's royalty and no one in the kingdom's gonna care about how he's basically married to Aoko too so long as they can see he loves their future king as much as he does and they don't screw up the new treaty negotiations the king's making with Kaito's uncle.

(Kaito's rather less impressed with his cousin, who sees through his tricks and is the worst sort of critic - one who even prefers Real Magic over sleight of hand, because in Shinichi's words "at least Magic still works along a set of rules, while tricks like those rely on pulling the wool over the audience's eyes and lying to them."

They're known for getting along when they really need to, though.)

—it's a love story

↳ chongyun, fanan/bonanus, lyney, wriothesley, and la signora × reader (separately) (royalty au!)

↳ genre: fluff, hijinks, a bit of crack(chongyun), hurt/comfort(wriothesley and maybe lyney's too), fantasy elements(signora) | wordcount: 1.8k | warnings: reader being a bit presumptuous and assuming(fanan)

↳ notes: while writing i did realize that some of these scenarios could happen even without the medieval setting, but i think everyone needs to imagine their favorite characters in a royalty au. at least once. for the aesthetic

—chongyun

if anyone's ever watched gravity falls, think of that episode where dipper explores the northwest mansion with pacifica. it goes something like that

your family, as well as even the servants around the castle, grew wary of things that went bump in the night over the last few years

eventually, they called in an exorcist to get rid of anything with malicious intent

his name was chongyun— the best of the best in liyue

it was said even the most gruesome of evils steered clear of his presence. and when you first met, you thought it was no wonder

with his icy stare and his imposing ceremonial greatsword, he looked almost surreal as the ghosts themselves

you were tasked with representing your family. you and the exorcist were about the same age, so your parents thought it would help make him more comfortable

once you got to talk to him personally though, that assumption immediately fell flat on its face

as you went through the palace, his coldness didn't seem to waver, no matter how much you tried to lighten the mood. his tone when speaking (limited to one word replies and/or lengthy explanations about evil spirits) was clipped and entirely professional

it didn't take you long to resign to the fact that you were probably annoying him, and so you stopped

chongyun, however, was left stuck asking himself why you'd suddenly started acting so stiffly

as you forlornly inspected an ancient vase, he wondered if he should apologize for.. something? was he being too cold? he hoped not

though chongyun did worry that his long time crush on you would have him combust if he ever stood an inch too close

besides, he was on a job. professionalism, chongyun. professionalism

just ignore the unwanted whisper of the xingqiu devil on his shoulder urging him to talk to you

he could do that later

maybe. hopefully

his friend would have definitely been having a field day if he saw him now, fumbling over himself about whether or not to initiate a conversation

you, however, had absolutely no clue what chongyun was glaring at the wall about. the mural maybe? was that cursed? you sidled up to chongyun's side and voiced your question to him

if you knew him any better, you'd recognize the vague pink creeping up his cheeks

—bonanus / fanan

you'd initially thought she was a.. strange choice to be assigned as your personal knight

to be honest, you used to think she was one of the nurses. you often saw her in the infirmary, her deep blue hair and pretty smile catching your eye quite easily

fanan's frame was slender, but with the way she carried herself, anyone might guess she was a member of the royal household like you

you couldn't imagine her in all that clunky armor, swinging a hefty sword against the other warriors. you had thought she was too soft-hearted for that

that was a misjudgement on your part

the first spar you witnessed her partake in was when she was training one of her subordinates

the first thing you were wrong about was her weapon— fanan didn't have a sword, no

she had two

long, elegant twin dao sword with carvings of the waves and ocean legends from the hilt to the iron of the blades. the metal was such a beautiful silver it could pass for blue under a certain light

the second thing you were wrong about?

fanan had no use for armor, apparently

she flowed as easily as water, practically dancing around her opponent in a blur of blue

her blades, the seafoam and her azure apparel, the current; she was a tsunami crashing into the tide

her opponent fell before a minute passed

"you've improved." yet she smiled at them, as sweet as ever

you had to hold yourself back from voicing your bafflement. improved? at this rate, you felt you might as well could have fired every other knight at the palace

"i noticed you stop to watch earlier."

it was only after fully checking in on her subordinate did she ask for your thoughts

"what did you think, your grace? was my performance to your liking?"

you could only blink at her

"y..your grace?"

"i—" you cleared your throat. "um.. yes. yes, it was. more than satisfactory, i think. you are quite skilled, sir bonanus"

then she beamed at your words

your heart fluttered

—lyney

in lyney's words, you were a noble of many treasures, and a bouquet of even brighter blossoms. you sometimes found his riveting manner of speech a bit difficult to understand, but that statement was thankfully not one of them

you thought the notion of having a jester was a bit silly. but you didn't have any other way to describe him either

you supposed magician worked well enough

to start, the court of fontaine was simply enamored with him. who wouldn't be?

a charming fellow from humble origins, rising up with nothing but the little mora in his pocket and the support of his family to keep him afloat. and he'd made it. in no time at all, he was a regular presence on the stage of the opera epiclese.

and while the court of fontaine was enraptured with the magician, lyney himself found himself enraptured by you

he didn't believe in love at first sight, but he knew when he was smitten

you came to every show. every night. he even caught a glimpse of your watching eyes during one of his smaller performances

the immediate night after, the opera's crowd was in complete shambles by the end of his tricks, when a single rainbow rose had been thrown into the crowd by his very hand

it had landed in your lap, just as planned

the look you shared that night was the talk of the entire kingdom for weeks

as for you.. well, he made you laugh. what else was there to say?

soon enough, lyney was giving out backstage passes (pass-es, he told lynette. but she saved him the trouble and requested you to come by herself)

you grew close quickly. lyney seemed like an easy person to get close to, after all. he was a devoted suitor as well; never passing up every opportunity to try and impress you or tell you how grateful he was to you for even looking his way

every performance after that concluded with a rainbow rose in your hand. sometimes even several

your visits to the house of the hearth (previously only for business) increased in number

so when the order came from father to get even closer to you and sleuth about your estate and properties, lyney's heart just about stopped in his chest

—wriothesley

you knew each other for as long as you could remember

he was just a random servant boy in the castle that liked keeping you company. you, in turn, had no complaints. he was fun, if not unpredictable, and a welcome interruption to the rigid palace routine

to him, you were like an angel. he called it the luck of the gods themselves that you wanted to play with him at all when they were kids

with the crown on your head as a halo, the cadence of your voice was your song. you always smelled so nice, and your hands were so soft. your smile, however, was the most stunning. the sight of it almost gave him a sense of pride, knowing that more often than not, it had appeared because of him

you were inseparable, and everyone hated it. especially your parents

it was almost ironic. of all the people to have figured out how the two of you felt about each other first, it had to be the ones that needed you apart the most

he didn't exactly help his own case, what with his smart mouth and knack for getting in trouble. it came as no surprise that he was at the receiving end of someone's scolding quite often. you just hadn't expected it to get so far

the trial went by you in a blur of whispers

"i always knew he was trouble" "what a dreadful child" "how unfortunate"

you couldn't sit still, practically leaning over the rail to look at him. you wanted to snap at your family gossiping behind you. you wanted to jump over the rail and run to your best friend. your only friend. you wanted to yell at him. you wanted to comfort him. you wanted to grab him by the hand and run off somewhere no one could catch you

and he wasn't even looking at you

if only you'd known what he was thinking in those moments. that the mere sight of you at the edge of his vision had him near tears

"i'll come back to you. i'll come back." he repeated to himself every night after that before he fell asleep, dreaming of you

years passed. wriothesley never forgot

now the duke of the fortress he was exiled to, he ran back to the overworld the first chance he had

as soon as he saw you on the streets of the city, he knew

and as soon as you caught sight of him, staring longingly after you across the street, you did too

—la signora

the signora lohefalter was a mysterious woman

the fair lady. an esteemed member of the snezhnayan court. from the way she dressed, the way she carried herself, the way she spoke, it could be said she was the very definition of the word 'luxuriant'.

between the two of you, it had started with a spark

on her end, a spark of interest

you were a bold one. whether you were a lowly servant, a fellow noble, or somewhere in between, you had a certain look in your eye. one of unyielding fire

it drew her in, this mirror of her own disposition

the court was often a rather desolate place to be. the people flew by and drifted off, colder than the wind. your heat was tantalizing to her. and eventually, she learned to crave your warmth

on your end however, the spark was rather literal

witchcraft was forbidden in all but written law. so when you caught the slightest lick of light escaping the signora's ungloved hands, you weren't quite sure what to do

she'd caught your gaze with an amused smile

"you look like you've seen a ghost, y/n."

not quite

it was an odd game of cat and mouse. it was as if the mouse bared fangs, and the cat was left to do nothing but scramble to catch it

it might take a while longer for her to accept her own feelings if you weren't a noble, or draped in finery from head to toe

but when she does, she claims the feelings with conviction. no matter how much longer it will take for the two of you to end your little game, it's clear what's going on to any outsider watching the two of you

maybe it wasn't so much that you wanted her caught. maybe you just wanted to know why. you've voiced this curiosity to her once, in one of your attempts to obtain a confession

she smiled again, in that coy, oh-so-innocent way that she did. she'd tell you, but.. well, you already knew, didn't you? what was there to tell?

and could you really blame her if she enjoyed the way you looked as you chased her down?

[dndeceit]

@tsspromptmonth opened comment banking for their Sleepy Bean Cafe event where comments made on Sanders Sides fics after the 26th of October can be used to commission fics from volunteers.

For anyone looking to pad their pockets with comments to spend, here's a list of stories I feel could really use the love:

Passion needs fuel by FeelingGroovySmooth Canonverse (Other) Rating: G Roman is lacking drive in his creative pursuits, leading him to abandon many of his projects. Remus catches on and makes a point to address the issue. Notes: This one I wanted to highlight in particular, because I think this story wonderfully captures the appeal of participating in the cafe event. Creating art, especially telling stories, is an act of communication, and it's hard not to be sensitive to the response. Especially when that response is silence. (And part of why I love doing rec lists. I get anxious and self-conscious and I'm not always good at comments (though I'm trying!) but if I can get more eyes on the stories that I've loved, maybe the authors who made them can get the appreciation they deserve.)

The Prince and the Frog by Radioactive_Jelly (WIP) Fairytale AU (Moceit, Anxceit, Dukexiety, Logince) Rating: Not Rated Prince Janus is having doubts about his upcoming marriage to Virgil. His brothers, Roman and Remus, are determined to stop the wedding for him (though Remus might have ulterior motives in that regard). At least he has his tiny frog friend near the pond to keep him company during his turmoil. Nothing at all complicated there. Notes: Who doesn't love a Fairytale AU? (But honestly, they had me at the promise of "Lovers to Friends" Anxceit.)

Some others I've recced before, but would love to see get more love:

Wolfsbane by TheFoxofFiction (WIP) Supernatural/Fantasy AU. (Loceit) Rating: T Janus is a werewolf fleeing a past filled with isolation and tragedy who, after a brush with death, falls into the care of a witch. Logan manages to save him from his injuries, but he soon learns that the real challenge is saving Janus from himself... Notes: Slowburn Loceit and trauma recovery, it's fantastic.

Animal Skin and its sequel Take a Bite by Willowanderer Supernatural AU. (Dukeceit, Prinxiety) Rating: M Janus and Virgil are brothers who meet a pair of intriguing twins. An amusing amount of drama (romance, mystery, patricide) ensues. Notes: I feel like "Take a Bite" might have been missed by a lot of eyes, because the tags warn (in my opinion) much heavier than what what the content of the fic actually warrants. (And I nearly missed it on that basis myself, since it does use a tag I normally filter.) This fic is more supernatural family drama than it is anything else. (Apart from the tiny bit of premeditated murder...) The tags in question: Underage and "allusions to bestiality". There is no sexual content in the fic itself. The first warning is for mention of underage characters having had sex in the past, and a plot point brushing up against the trafficking of an underage character. And the second is in reference to uncouth Remus thoughts about a hypothetical scenario involving a fully sapient and consenting shapeshifter in animal form.

Remus's Roleplaying Romp by LeftoverParadox Canonverse (Gen) Rating: M When Roman shuts him out of getting involved in Thomas's roleplaying pursuits, Remus decides to show him by throwing his efforts into running a tabletop game for the sides. Hilarity and hijinks (but also some feels) ensue. Notes: Probably one of my favorite fics in the fandom (combining, as it does, two of my own personal obsessions very beautifully). Remus radiates chaotic DM energy, the sides are all so in character, and the game plays out hilariously. (Roman is tagged as being unsympathetic, but he's really just a bit of a dismissive ass towards Remus at the start. He does eventually come around, though after some proportionate comeuppance.)

they say that it gets better (but i guess that was a lie) by Cicadas_on_a_rainy_day (WIP) Canonverse (Gen) Rating: Not Rated/T Thomas starts paying closer attention to some of Remus’s behavior, which leads to unexpected, painful repercussions for everyone else in the Mindscape. Notes: Updating as a series of Whumptober prompts. Some great character moments, and exploration of how the Sides function within Thomas’s mind. The author has an amazing talent for telling a story with what the characters aren't saying out loud. (The series summary promises an eventual happy ending, and I’m clinging to that.)

Remus’ Brilliant Plan by CrystalHavoc Canonverse (Moceit, Intrulogical, Intruality…technically) Rating: M Remus is bored, horny, annoyed with Virgil, fed up with being ignored by Logan, and amused by Janus’s crush on a certain father figment. Obviously, the answer to all of these problems is the same simple solution: He needs to have sex with Patton. Notes: This one is so fucking funny, I don’t even know where to start. (Also writing a story where Remus propositions Patton is easy, writing a story where it feels believable that Patton might say yes, that's a lot harder to pull off.)

(I'll probably pull out other recs when I have the chance, and my rec tags are full of other gems, but these were the ones that quickly came to mind.)

Let's talk about sp in the meantime?? What is your favorite fan content? Like, fanart that's blank. Headcanons that's blank. Aesthetic posts, etc etc.

Oh anon you know just what speaks to me. So here's some favorite things, semi ramble format:

I'm always still a sucker for anything that's stick of truth. I love the fanart, I love the AUs, I love fantasy and nothing gives me feels more than a good sot art. If someone draws SOT art that is just so fucking tender I will slam that reblog button so goddamn hard. I'm not that huge of a style shipper personally like it's not anywhere in my top 10 fav ships but if you show me some good ol sot style I'll lose my shit. That's my favorite version of it. Skyrockets in the ranks.

I'm also a huge fan of art or writing that captures the boys just being boys. I love the art of them as children fucking around doing hijinks. I love very tiny kids doing sidewalk chalk and making snowmen and riding bikes and making forts and sleepovers and acting their age. And then, on the flip of that, I love them getting in trouble with cigarettes and spray painting and riding down the hill in a shopping cart as teens. I love them arguing and getting into angst and then finding solstice in each other.

I love the angst and the grit. I love taking the elements played for comedy in the show and exploring that they're actually, in fact, very fucked up. I love people deep diving into cartman's psychology and how Tweek's clusterfuck of a life affects him, is Stan actually an alcoholic, what's going on with Butters.

And I'm the WORST sucker for nostalgia. I love and miss and immediately reblog art that feels like it just walked out of 2012 even if it was made today. I love old tropes, I love old characterization. I love old fics, even when they're terrible or so problematic by current standards. That's my worst weakness honestly. Show me something from my early fandom years or from friends who I haven't spoken to in years and I'll be a wreck for it.

〜★ Intro Post! ★〜

Howdy! Welcome to my blog!

I’m CB, short for C. Brookes. I am 18 and in college pursuing a degree in English, with the hope of one day being an author! I use she/her. I also have ADD (attention deficit disorder), and possibly several other things, including social anxiety!

This is mainly a personal blog, but I also post about my writing! Mostly, I like to read and write fantasy. My main project is called Project Opal! To summarize: “Man flees assassination attempts. Friends pursue. Other friend flees unrelated assassination attempt. Hijinks ensue.”

My dearest, most beautiful Milabelle (@trash-bin-ary) is my QPP :3

I use lots of colored text, depending on my mood and energy levels.

This is a no-swearing blog. You do you, but I don’t post or reblog anything with swearing. I find it triggering (it really screws with me), and this is my blog, so I can do what I want. If you send an ask, submit a post, or comment anything that includes swearing, it will be deleted.

I don’t engage in politics on here, at all! If I get asks that support a particular cause or ask for money in any way for any cause, I delete them indiscriminately.

〜♠︎ What I Post ♠︎〜

For fandoms, I post about A Hat in Time, In Stars and Time, Hollow Knight, EPIC: The Musical, and possibly others. Fandoms I don’t post about but still enjoy include Pokémon, Baba Is You, Undertale, Deltarune, both Portal games, Stardew Valley, and anything I remember later and add on. Not fandoms, but sometimes I’ll also post about Ado and plushies.

I also post about my writing, my college experience, and thoughts about being median/a system not anymore, those go on my system blog. And of course random jokes here and there.

I don’t have much regarding a DNI list. This is an SFW blog, so keep that in mind when interacting. And if you swear in my replies or asks, I’ll just delete it. Like I said earlier, it’s my blog, I can do what I want. And what I want is a safe space. I’ll also delete any asks that do stuff like ask for money or promote any particular cause, because that’s just not something I want to interact with—and I will delete them indiscriminately, regardless of what they promote or don’t promote.

I also post about figuring out… myself, I guess. Sometimes I vent. Sometimes I talk about depression or anxiety.

We stay silly.

(4) pick an alternate setting you would want to put either the main cast of HO in— zombie apocalypse, medieval fantasy, regency era, office hijinks, etc. describe what it would look like and/or write 100+ words in this universe.

I don’t remember the name of the ask game sorry :)

For this ask game :)

Ok, so my favorite HO au is a band au. Fully unashamed of that. They're an underground punk band looking to stay ahead of the cops while balancing college and gigs.

Izjik, in this au, is a rez kid who came to the city for college, but then immediately dropped out to become a welder because she hated it so much. She's their drummer and though she misses her family ever since they cut her off for dropping out, she treats this band as her new family. She's also wanted by the cops for a mysterious manslaughter charge only she and Sepo know the truth about.

Band au Sepo is still mute, so he's on lead guitar and is very clearly the best musician in the band. He grew up in a weird cult he doesn't like to talk about, has weird scars around his mouth he never brings up, and is also maybe wanted by the cops. No one knows what for, but given the way his eyes gleam around fire, it isn't hard to guess. He's going to college for music theory, probably his masters.

This version of Twenari is still 16, she's just a kid genius going to college for astrophysics or something crazy instead of a sorcerer. Her bandmates are her only friends, given how much her age makes her stick out. She doesn't talk much about her home life, though it's clear she comes from money. Her instrument is the keyboard bass and she insists they do at least one jazz number each show, for posterity.

Au Djek is their lead vocals, much to Sepo’s chagrin. He's a poor kid who fell in bad with a gang in his youth, but managed to take a plea deal and now goes to college for business. He just prays he never runs into anyone he knew from way back when. He's very much the personality force of their band and while the whole thing was Izjik’s idea, he's the one who really sold the show.

This idea started as a bit, but I do actually have a whole ass group sketch for it from a couple months ago!

(As an aside, just because I have to mention it, but my more extensive au is for MG. It's a modern sort of sci-fi thriller vibe and it exists solely because there needs to be some universe out there where Astra has a crazy modded car that looks like a piece of shit but can hit 120mph in seconds)

Thanks for the ask, as always!

Maybe This Summer-hutchabelle (ao3) Summary: Katniss Everdeen needed a vacation. On a whim, she reserved three months at Panem Resorts in North Carolina. She expected to spend her time recovering from the recent death of her sister, exploring the nearby nature reserve, and reminiscing about happier times. What she didn’t foresee was bumping into Peeta Mellark, one of Panem’s most valued employees, during his early morning run. Neither did she think she’d grow to admire him when she’d hated him from first sight, but his killer smile and gorgeous blue eyes had a way of breaking down the walls she’d built around her heart. Maybe this summer she’ll finally get what she’s always deserved.

And they are, most of them, often wandering down the halls with a glint of ill intent in their eye. “You stay in your room when they’re here. Do you understand?” her nanny asks, tucking away the last of Katniss’s toys in the white chest near her dresser. “Yes, nan.” Except for that night, she doesn’t listen.

Misbehavior-hutchabelle (ao3) Summary: Katniss Everdeen is an accomplished, successful, well-liked science teacher in her West Virginia town. She has a particular way of doing things, and she's pretty sure people who don't follow suit are lacking in some way. Peeta Mellark, the young and newly-hired English teacher, sweeps into town with his charm and new-fangled teaching strategies and pushes every one of Katniss' buttons. They're both professionals, but how are they supposed to just stand by when the other is clearly wrong? A teachers!Everlark story in which hijinks ensue, rules are broken, and Finnick goads them both into misbehavior.

Moonrise-misshoneywell (ao3) Summary: Once a year, the twelfth colony of Panem makes sacrifices to the Clan of Claws. This time, the Lupine prince eagerly awaits their volunteer. In-Panem Fantasy AU.

Hello! I saw your post about all the AU you done with vi and I was quite interested with Kof!Vi. Is the AU about if instead of Geronimo who ended up in the kingdom of fantasy, Violet is the one who ended up there? :O

Well yes but actually no :D

The premise of that AU is that one day G gets sick and not even a Dragon-of-the-Rainbow-induced fever dream can free him from his sick misery, so they gotta find someone else to fill in for him. G referred them to Thea, but hijinks happened and Vi wound up being the next best choice, and now she's the Squire of the Fearless Knight ✨

(Yes Scribblehopper be back at it again gaslight gatekeep girlbossing with his crappy poetry /hj /lh)

I have a longfic in mind for it, but much like most of my longfic ideas, it's prolly gonna take a while before it'll be posted :'3

I'm down to talk a little bit about it the AU tho without giving too much spoilers :D

[sakitenmaenjoyer]

lost memories au (working title) has been a thought project for a while now, yipee

basically:

- fantasy au using the our happy ending set

- rui and tsukasa wake up in a medical ward, both with no memory of...well anything. they're told they were found injured together

- they have no idea who the other is

- they soon realize the medical ward they're in is, uh...fancy. royalty fancy

- surprise surprise, their dumbasses got found and taken in by a princess

- she, along with her bodyguard, had been walking along the beach when they found two injured people. they probably would have died without her intervention

- the princess is emu ofc, as it usually goes. she's a free spirit that supports them throughout their tedious recovery.

- tsukasa actually isn't super bothered by the memory loss lmao. he's like "damn that sucks.... better make a new life for myself! getting my memories back randomly would be cool tho"

- rui....is different. his memory loss bugs him. but he doesn't even know where to begin to look. nothing about the kingdom sparks any memories for him

- nene is a mermaid. she eventually joins their group, and all four of them get into silly goofy adventures. if this was a show, there would be a semi serious subplot about rui trying to remember his past... but it'd mostly be goofy adventures

- eventually....years pass! rui stops looking for any hint of his past and focuses on the present. his lost memory becomes a footnote to the hijinks of his life

- they literally live a whole ass plot in those years. long story short, emu was suppressed by her royal family, and those three help her Not be. in turn, she helped them find healthy hobbies (tsukasa with cooking, rui with archeology)

- things go great! the two of them get a lot of life experiences, and grow from the wary people they were when they woke up in medical ward

-...things take a complicated turn when they run into tsukasa's old subordinates, though

- oh yeah, apparently tsukasa used to be a knight

- ....he really regrets not giving much thought about his past
