Passion Project Announcement!!!!

I have exciting news! Something is coming— a project I’m super passionate about and am thrilled to finally announce! “Stick Together For Survival”, a multi novel series centered around a crossover of Bendy and the Ink Machine, Jurassic World, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and the Monsterverse. It’s taken lots of patience and work to construct; I’m not even done yet with all I have planned. But I knew it wasn’t a fic I wanted to ever give up on.

So, I’m happy to announce the series will kick off with its first novel: “Ink and Amber”, scheduled to release mid September in honor of my birth month!

It’s a very niche crossover, but it’s something I’ve been planning on for a while now as a love letter for four fandoms that mean the world to me! I hope you’ll grow to love it to! (Prior knowledge of each fandom isn’t exactly needed; I’ll try and explain each background to the best of my ability without it coming off as exposition dumping. The rating is T, as each fandom is. But I do recommend giving each a try ;) )

Synopsis:

Audrey Drew didn't know what to do after her life was upended in the tragedy with Godzilla in San Francisco. She sought out any form of solace to recover from the trauma with the help of her two brothers. Things might just take a turn for the better when she becomes the lucky winner of a no-expense trip to Jurassic World. Is it really all it's cracked up to be, or are familiar faces from her past lurking in the shadows? ~

Emma Russell is cooped up in the Jurassic World labs, adamant on trying to get her invention— the ORCA— to finally function. Without the aid of her ex-husband, she’s uncertain if she’ll ever get it to work… And it didn’t help that she had a young child getting under her feet every five minutes. ~

Owen Grady and Claire Dearing are trying their best to smooth things out between them after a rather sour breakup. However, Mr. Masrani requests they work together for the care of their newest asset. One with gnarled fangs, serrated claws, reptilian eyes, and a vendetta. There might be more secrets hidden in her DNA that even Dr. Wu didn’t quite yet understand. ~

Michael Afton? … He just wants a vacation.

Step into a world full of danger, mystery, companionship, and survival.

There’s always something new creeping around the corner… and they’ll need one another to stay alive.

if you ask me what my relationship dynamic headcanons for the bbs main characters are i could not give you a straight answer. it’s like yeah terra is eraqus’s son for certain. aqua is also eraqus’s daughter but only half of the time. terra and aqua are not siblings though. terra and ven are siblings but only sometimes. ven is eraqus’s son but also his grandson. terra and aqua are definitely not ven’s parents though except for when it’s funny for the situation. aqua isn’t related to any of them but also she is spiritually the eldest daughter with all the pressure that comes with. none of them are related to each other they’re exactly what it says on paper: classmates and friends. terra and aqua are dating but only when it would be cool for the situation. the three of them have a super tight bond but it’s also always been shaky and filled with a competitive spirit having been raised in that particular sheltered environment so maybe they’re kind of just all each other has. but also they would choose each other anyway. aqua is for sure ven’s older sister though

Bouncing off my bi ryuji awakening post, im gonna add these tags from it: (separated to make it easier to read)

[#anyway. akira is the guy ever. and ryuji is exploding#‘i have died. badly’#i like thinking of akira like this; hes ryujis first exposure to nb ppl and gnc adjacent stuff#even if akira is p masc by most standards hes still got a bit of. aloofness. about his gender stuffs#ryuji is just really into the way akira carries himself#and it takes him a while to go oh. oh i think its cause i like this dude#um.#😳.

#also i wanted to clarify#but ryujis mom just doesnt know Who akira is in that picture#and in my head hes like. looking down at mona and petting him (while sitting)#(AND hes with ann and theyre both kind of a distance away from the camera)#so at a quick glance; hes just Some Girl#and even though shes wrong; it kicks off the mental chaos olympics in ryujis head#‘what hes not a girl’ to ‘where would she even get that from’ to ‘well akira said himself he didnt rlly care what ppl thought about it’#to ‘well. where DID she get that from?’ to lookin at what his homie does a little closer to ‘aw fuck. man.’#but i love that for him

#ALSO. RYU/GORO IN TAGS…..#but ryuji going oh my GOD oh my godddd 😨😓😓😓 when something clicks in his head about goro#his voice is so practiced and naturally softspoken and his public facing persona is very demure#and once he gets past the initial anger over goro being a pompous prick who shittalks about the thieves. hes like. god fucking dammit.#There Is A Pattern and A Type He Has and Its Killing Him To Realize it.#hes literally sitting in his room w his head in his hands]

Ryuji definitely finds Conventionally Attractive Girls pretty, but he realizes around postgame that he genuinely formed crushes on THREE people; Akira, Makoto, and Goro. And all three of them are people who carry themselves as a bit Soft and Delicate (akira and makoto w their personality and mannerisms, goro w his appearance) while also being deceptively strong. Yusuke WOULD fit into this but hes only strong in the metaverse. Also if u tried to argue that he still finds yusuke pretty, Ryuji would just say ‘yeah duh? Of course???’ and would not elaborate further.

I just think. Its cute 👉🏾👈🏾 Ryuji loves someone whos pretty and capable of knocking him flat on his ass lmao He LOVES a challenge and he likes that they can all challenge him in different ways.

Akira is way stronger than he looks; hes very toned and he used to be quite active before being shipped off to tokyo. And after fighting in the metaverse, hes gotten way better at using an enemies mass and momentum against them. Yeah he can properly knock someone down, but its way easier to let Ryuji charge him and use that momentum to sweep and pin. Which Ryuji remembers vividly for Weeks. Akira is not allowed to spar w him and Makoto for awhile after that.

Makoto is just strong as hell. But shes very defensive, and extremely patient. ‘Ill wait and see before I decide What to do’. Shes got good reaction timing and its hard to catch her offguard. Its very difficult to disorient her so oftentimes, his spars w her are more about endurance. And if he ASKS her to do so, she’ll actually fight him back. He never wins 😭 but she is very patient w him and she doesnt treat him like an idiot. She likes to give him tips and redirect his strengths to make up for his weaknesses and it makes him a bit warm in this chest

Spars w Goro are just fun. Theyre fun! Goro is way more aggressive and reckless than Makoto and Akira. He is looking for openings near constantly and Ryuji has to either keep up or tank hits. Its very. Engaging. For him. Sometimes he loses and Goro is giving him a look so smug, Ryuji wishes he could kick him in his fucking teeth (something he clearly couldnt do bc hes already been knocked flat on his ass). And sometimes he wins, and hes so shocked and HAPPY about it; he doesnt miss the way Goro looks away from him pouting like a brat (‘no fucking way are u POUTING man, what a sore loser 😭’). Goro and his uptight personality is thrown out the window completely and its so fun and refreshing to see. Hes tall and imposing w broad shoulders and toned arms and if Ryuji is staring, he finds himself immediately distracted when Goros cheerful, softspoken voice asks if hes willing to go another round.

I love it 👉🏾👈🏾 Ryujis got a complicated relationship w violence but it helps to have people he trusts engage with it in a way that doesnt make him feel like some brute. Theyre all kind of itching to beat the shit out of things for multiple reasons, but instead of taking that out on each other, they spend time training one another so that they can beat the shit out of OTHER things better. Its an efficient system 😊

Something something

the difference between Purple and King becoming friends/found family when Purple is portrayed as a teenager versus when Purple is portrayed as an adult

something something

Purple being an adult having experienced their entire childhood/teenage years already and learning their life isn't dictated by those years

something something

King seeing an adult Purple as an equal instead of as a parent and going from acquaintances to friends to family

something something

Found Family made up of Adults who had their own lives beforehand and are now learning to navigate around the past while still building a future together

something something

if you wanna yap more about the au id love to hear btw!! and can't wait to see the little comics if out post them :D

OK PERHAPS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ...

(revision after i wrote everything. it was not a little bit)

i imagine it all starts off where till is off doing his normal cryptid hunting things in the woods on like a friday evening and happens to catch a glimpse of sua and ivan outside of a spaceship in the middle of the woods. he watches one of them transform into their human form from a far distance, and manages to snap a singular blurry photo. the flash goes off and gives away his location, though, so he instinctually runs off before he can see more

(btw, the disguises don't change their clothes, only their body. the human clothes are real. although they were probably synthesized through weird alien technology or they stole them not 100% sure yet)

cut to monday, he's in class, and one of his teachers introduces two new students who have just transferred to their school from some unspecified other country. till is immediately like THATS THE ALIEN I SAW BEFORE and the two of them also talk strangely and have some weird device attached to their ears. he calls them out for being aliens, in front of the entire class, very embarrassingly, though of course this gets him nowhere.

i dont have like this ENTIRELY planned out at the moment but pretty quickly the main 4 settle into a sort-of friend group. mizi is incredibly friendly and befriends the two new students immediately, and till reluctantly spends as much time as possible with the two of them out of wanting to protect her and keep an eye on them for possible funny business. mizi doesnt NOT believe till that ivan and sua are aliens, but she befriends them anyway. till and ivan immediately settle into the type of relationship the two of them had in anakt canonically---they're constantly bickering and probably getting into fights in the hallway.

as much as mizi and till are best friends, mizi is quite the busy gal. she's always involved with school events and is in multiple clubs so she's only free during lunch about twice a week, of which she always spends with till. the rest of the week, till spent that time alone until the aliens showed up. he doesn't think about it for a while but eventually realizes that maybe theyre not so bad to have around. till's mom tells him after a few months of having them around that he seems happier. he's not sure what to think about that

this au is just lighthearted silliness mostly, ivan coming up with (real? fake?) world-conquering schemes to rile up till and get his attention and mizisua slowly developing a very cute romance. some aliens come to earth and accidentally learn how to love.

i think what i settled on for ivan and sua is that they were in fact sent to earth to do some kind of scouting of the planet to see if its worth anything for their crazy conquering alien empire, but they pretty quickly discover that they actually kind of like it there despite all its flaws. they are eventually discovered (by a familiar face maybe?) as being "traitors to the empire" or whatever but itll all end up fine in the end i promise i have no angst bones in my body

if this was like a serialized TV show i would imagine after enough time has passed and its clear the aliens aren't really a threat to mizi or humanity or anything like that till just kind of accepts the fact that theyre here and part of his life and he allows himself to be fascinated by their existence and their technology. ivan shows him his disguise willingly and till probably stares into his eyes which look like tiny galaxies and its pretty gay. if i was a more prolific fic writer the ivantill romance would be such a slowburn

so like assuming this is a tv show like the first season (or maybe even two? idk) of the show would be almost entirely set on earth and then once some big season finale event thing happens they start having adventures in space afterwards. i want mizi and till to get alien disguises at some point i love drawing aliens if that wasnt obvious

OK SORRY this got out of hand i didnt mention everything cuz i wanna have some surprises but thats a bunch of my ideas ^_^

me: blocks the bad batch tag because I don’t want to see spoilers from the new season and also because I don’t want to see anything about it in general because I’ll go feral

i think you’re an enjoyer of themes to do w/ family

what gave you that impression :-) ............ 🧐🧐🧐🧐

[missallanea]

@madefate : did you just call this a family? / hunter @ eda !!

"Well, what else would you call it?"

Sure, it's messy : her son is a Titan, her spiritual daughter is a human that she shares with her biological mom, not to mention her girlfriend who is the daughter of one of her school friends, the other two kids who always seem to be hanging around, her partner who took her literal hand long before taking her hand in marriage. And now, Hunter.

She's still figuring him out, how all of his pieces fit together. He's secretive, to a nigh-concerning extent, never wanting to bother anyone with how he feels. Even when those feelings are too big too handle by himself, even when she catches him in fits of nightmares or memories that remove him from the present, safe place he finds himself.

It's almost annoying how similar they are, she can't help but think with a certain fondness. She sees far too much of herself in the kid, and wants to keep him from spiraling the same way she did all those years ago. Already, he's forged a stronger safety net than her own : where she put everything on one person ( and how unfair that had been, even if they would never say as much ) he's been smart enough to find a circle of people he trusted, who were looking out for him.

She just hopes that he realizes she's part of that circle.

"Why does a family have to be made up of just your blood relatives? That'd make for... geez, one small get-together. Nah, family is what you make of it. The people you choose to hold onto, the people you choose to love. Blood has nothing to do with it."

A sharp-fanged grin, then, as she gently bumps Hunter with her elbow, "'Course, you actually are our blood relative, all things considered. So you're definitely stuck with us Clawthorne's now, kiddo."

Well, besides that, you guys deserve a life update too because the goddesses are well aware new fics will not be seeing the light of day

Had a dream where I visited my aunt and for some reason my sister and her daughter (my neice) were living there but I'm so ballsy in my dreams, I just straight up came out as trans to my aunt and then she told me that I *had to* be a girl around my niece or else she wouldn't allow me to keep seeing her and I just straight up went "Huh okay. Bye then"

And when she was like "what, don't you care about your family at all?" I said "I don't think you understand- I've lost *everything* I've had up until now. Everything after that is a bonus" and then I left 😎

disenchantment spoilers i guess but everyone is mad about elfo and luci and im just. feeling very :// about mora.

i dont talk about this much but when i first watched golden wind the sorbet-gelato thing touched me in a really bad place and i talk about this a bit more but i really dont mind gay characters (or characters that just radiate that energy but arent canonically gay - tiz and squalo namely) dying in golden wind because it doesnt feel targeted. like theyre killed because many people die in the series not because theyre queer, personally i can work with that.

in disenchantment it felt a bit like a fake punch to see if i flinch, even though i suspected they wont just kill off the mc's sapphic love interest for shock value it felt a bit below the belt? like i still had to watch bean mourning her for a painfully long time, it felt a bit cheap. bean feeling lonely and wanting someone that loves and understands her on this level has been a theme for 5 entire seasons and im not a fan of being made to feel like it was all for nothing and even though she figured out who she loves she doesnt actually deserve to be with her.

its probably because in jojo there isnt really a romantic storyline like that in... any part tbh (not counting erina and suzi bc finding them isnt really the main jojo's goal or a big part of the story they just meet and decide "oh we must marry"). if i was shown how desperate cioccolata or secco or idk was to find someone that loves and accepts them for most of golden wind or if that was at least one of giorno's biggest personal goals in life only for his love interest to then get killed off in the last episodes i would like that show a lot less. like that would be cruel and earn the title of "bury your gays" and disenchantment reviving mora in the last minute wasnt satisfying enough for me to just forgive that entirely.

(i could also go off about the difference between how the two shows handle random revivals and fakeout deaths but thats a suitcase for another day and i might be biased but spoiler, that bothers me a lot less in jojo too. like they dont do it so often death stops being meaningful in any way)
