#god they mean so much to me

heya, I think your vampire and school au for takasakyo pretty cool and want you to ramble more about it. mfb school au's are endlessly hilarious to me, so how are they're doing?

WOOOO YEAHHHHH I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THIS AU‼️‼️‼️‼️ I will start by saying the first thing I made for it was this fic (which was originally gonna be a mini comic but I didn’t feel like drawing it)

I’m pretty sure I came up with this au in the first place just bc I was thinking a little bit too hard about sakyo’s fangs and then that led my brain to go to vampires, and now we’re here. The thing that I thought abt that I find really amusing (which is what mostly inspired the fic) is like, a subversion of the usual vampire trope of biting on the neck, bc when you really think about that, tis a tad bit intimate and also probably not the most convenient, so I had it so that Sakyo bites Takanosuke on his arm instead (much to taka’s surprise). I also did that kinda thinking about like, actual blood drives and stuff, and I’ve personally never donated blood but they have opportunities to do so at my school sometimes and I know they always give people like snacks and juice afterwards, so I thought it’d be cute to have Sakyo do that to.

In general Sakyo’s character is probably the thing that’s most different in this whole au because although I tried to translate some of his actual character arc and motivations into the context of him being a vampire, it’s a very different lens overall. and like also yk it’s just me making Sakyo a lot cuter just for my own funsies BUT THATS THE LESS IMPORTANT PART. in the actual series his motivations are a lot more “because I’ve inherited dragoon and am ryugas successor it’s my destiny to Cause Problems On Purpose and be stronger than everyone and fuck everyone else up and be a loner and I’m gonna take pride in that,” but vamp Sakyo feels a lot more shame in being a vampire so his motivations are more like “it is my destiny to be this horrible monster and despite the fact that I don’t really like most people anyways, I don’t really wanna cause any real harm either so I’m gonna Cause Problems On Purpose so that they stay away” yk. And also again the aspect of him not drinking blood often basically makes him hangry like all the time so that also adds to the Issues.

I feel like the context I’ve built up in my head is kinda vague in all the ways I’ve tried to post about it but like, the idea was that similar to the anime, in Sakyo’s pursuit of causing problems and just being a general asshole, all the same people who he battled during his introduction also got into trouble with Sakyo at some point during the school year. I made this joke to some friends I was telling about this au but like, Sakyo through and through is a dorkass loser. In the show, people take him seriously bc he has the bey and the power to back it up, but outside of that he is SO lame and such an edgy teenager, and in this au, he has the exact same attitude he usually does except now he doesn’t actually physically fight people to the same degree so everyone basically just sees him as this edgy emo asshole who hisses at people in the hallways yk. And so everyone just kinda avoids him bc nobody likes him. Except for Takanosuke that is, who still has his whole thing with Sakyo and ren, and similarly, becomes intrigued with Sakyo afterwards. Call it intuition or something, but immediately after actually having an interaction with Sakyo, he can sense that there’s something else that he’s not letting on. That’s when he starts following Sakyo and trying to talk to him, but Sakyo continually ignores him. It’s after school one day where he finds Sakyo in like, an alley or something, basically doing as bad as he could possibly be doing, and at this point Takanosuke’s already been connecting some of the dots, but seeing Sakyo as he sees him there is the final confirmation in the realization that he’s a vampire, and that kinda explains a lot for takanosuke. It makes all of Sakyo’s strange behavior and aggression make sense to him and he also realizes, seeing the state Sakyo’s in, that he’s really just hungry, and feels compelled to help. That’s when they make their whole deal and their friendship begins.

It’s funny because Sakyo has like absolutely no idea how to go about any of this now, both because he hasn’t really had a friend in like ever, but now that he has a steady source of blood, he doesn’t really need to be doing like everything that he’s been doing, and doesn’t really know how to go about that. At school, he really only hangs out with Takanosuke now, and basically everyone else has taken notice to it and how he’s basically changed completely pretty much over night. A lot of people start drawing their own conclusions. If Takanosuke’s with his other friends, Sakyo usually stays on his own somewhere else, unless he really needs a refill, in which case he and takanosuke will go off on their own somewhere so that no one else sees that. Everyone else still has no fucking clue that Sakyo’s a vampire. This does not help with the conclusions (I really wanna make a mini comic about this too)

In general, the two become pretty attached at the hip for the most part. Their arrangement basically bonds them for life in vampire culture or whatever, and in turn, Sakyo becomes pretty protective of Takanosuke. I think it’s both an instinctual “defending my food” kind of thing, but also a way of keeping their deal even. Takanosuke gives Sakyo blood, and in turn, Sakyo becomes very loyal to Takanosuke. This is mostly where the “uncharacteristically cute and caring” Sakyo characterization comes in. This is another one I wanna draw but this not only comes in the extremes of “is this guy bothering you do you want me to kill him for you,” but also in little ways, such as the post-bloodsucking juice boxes, Sakyo offering to carry Taka’s bag or walk him home, general things like that. It kinda catches takanosuke off guard bc he really wasn’t expecting much in return, but Sakyo insists on it. And again, to people with zero context of their dynamic, this is all VERY interesting.

Thinking about later down the line, although idk how it’d really happen, I think Zyro being Zyro would eventually find out about Sakyo being a vampire as well and help him out if he ever needed it. Perhaps it could start a chain reaction of people suddenly becoming a lot more tolerable of Sakyo, ensuing even more kooky hijinks involving Sakyo suddenly needing to understand how to have a social life

Yippee!!! More oc art =] shout out to Earl Grey (right, with sword) and London Fog (left) for being my most married ocs of all time

Im once again literally right in the middle of almost completely reworking this world and story for like, the 4th time its getting ridiculous. But im really really happy with it so far. Its COMPLETLY unrecognizable from where it started but that. that is a good thing. lmao.

crunchy ass old art below break.

its a loose redraw of this piece from 2020. the difference is honestly shocking but im incredibly proud of both my improvement and how far the characters have come.

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

[mookmayor]

for some reason i haven’t seen a SINGLE person talk about the fact that Daisuke was in Swansea’s bed when he had to kill him. Swansea put the kid somewhere where he thought he’d be comfortable & that he could keep the most convenient watch over him until he had to kill him.

If we want to look into this further, you could also tie it to Swansea’s death and how he effectively severed any form of rest or peace for himself by having Daisuke’s body lay in his own bed, serving as a reminder of what he’s done in possibly the only place he could have gotten rest.

JK Rowling being a Holocaust denier wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but in hindsight it probably should have been.

At this point I don’t care how much Harry Potter means to you, I don’t care if it saved your life, if you think having some dumb fucking House scarf from a made up fantasy series is more important than calling out a white supremacist, transphobic, ableist hag then YOU are part of the problem and you are just as bad as she is.

do you ever think about how jarring it must be for laura to see logan healthy?

well, ok, maybe not Healthy healthy, man’s still an alcoholic, but he’s sturdy. he’s not constantly nursing wounds that won’t heal, not wincing with every step like he’s in agony, his eyes are clear (were they always so green? she’d forgotten over the years, in the void, only remembered the bloody starburst that blotted out the white in one of them vividly), and he’s Strong.

she’d only ever seen that strength once, when Her Logan ran to her in north dakota, temporarily unburdened from anguish and injury and sprinting toward her like she was the only thing that mattered, and now this logan is just…like that? he can keep going and going and going, for hours, just like in her comic books

but she still finds herself waiting for the other shoe to drop. she still braces herself when logan coughs, just to clear his throat, and he either doesn’t notice that it makes her go stiff as board or chooses not to comment on it. she’s waiting for the splash of blood on his lips, the heaving, hacking fit that’ll double him over, the wet, asthmatic gasping that sounds like he’s going to drown in his own phlegm. but it doesn’t come

she can smell he isn’t sick, takes deep breaths in through the mouth and scents the air around him — whiskey, cigar smoke, something woody, and something sweet, like a confection (she thinks that’s wade, because he stinks like sick-sweet cancer and sugary body wash). but there’s no bitterness underneath it, not like Her Logan. he reeked of rot, of poison — like death.

so she Knows this new logan isn’t dying. he’s fine, he’s totally fine, and maybe she’s a little resentful of that because why does he get to be fine, why does he get to reside comfortably in his prime when Her Logan was disintegrating before her very eyes? why couldn’t Her dad Logan have kept that strength, that resilience, for just a little bit longer? maybe He would’ve lived, maybe He would’ve crossed the canadian border with her?

maybe He would’ve stayed?

perhaps the TVA wouldn’t have portaled her away if she was firmly attached to an anchor being.

she tries not to think such things. really, she does. especially when this logan, this new one, as broken and mean as he may be sometimes — well, he tries. he’ll never be Her Logan, and they both know that, and maybe that’s ok. maybe she doesn’t need a replacement.

maybe Her Logan would just be happy that she’s got a father at all. two if you count wade (and she does).

and maybe that’s enough.

I think Deku has a bit of a mean streak, actually. he’s no Bakugou—that’s for sure—but he’s not this innocent, sweet angel baby that the media has painted him out to be. but you only catch it when you least expect it, when you’re pushing his nerves, when the stakes to everything around him are high, when he’s tired of endless sleepless nights and just—snaps.

“Oh?” you go, grin unfurling like some grinch, chin resting on your hands as you leer at him from across his expansive desk. “You’re mean.” your words are teasing, a snarl that curls your mouth up. Deku stutters, eyes going wide, jaw snapping shut in surprise as he tries to think back on how rude he just sounded.

“No, I’m not—I mean, you wouldn’t stop and I just—there’s a lot on my plate right now—and you just—you keep on—I’m not—I’m not mean.” He’s sputtering, hands all over the place, the glasses perched on the bridge of his nose falling even lower with how he jabbers on and on. it’s endearing really, to see how he tries to upkeep his image of being so kind and understanding, even though his nostrils just flared at you. and his eyebrows turned down and he gritted at you, his hands were balled into fists, his words were so nasty, so ugly, so unbecoming for Deku.

you liked it. loved it even—vowed to get him like this every single fucking second that you could.

you pick and poke at him whenever you see him, teasing him and pulling at him. pushing him around even though the hero is so much stronger than you, so much bigger. and he lets you, tries to defend himself but—that’s not what you want. you want the ugliness, the snark, the mean.

he snaps, eventually, when you least expect it. grabs you up in black whip when you go to push him against the wall for the third time in only a minute, his eyes suddenly dark, the aura of the room suddenly charged.

“That’s what I was looking for.” you whisper to him, the grin spreading your face quickly dissipating in only seconds when you become the prey. when you become the one pushed up against the wall with teeth at your neck, a hand in your underwear, bullying your hole with too thick fingers.

“Why do you want me to act like this? Be so mean to you, huh?” he sounds so frustrated with himself, with you, growling and nipping and licking when you don’t answer quick enough. but your breath is caught in your lungs because finally—finally, did you get what you wanted. it just took a little bit of pushing, you suppose.

disciple luo binghe climbing dragon god sy’s peak after sqq throws his little temper tantrum abt not being allowed to abuse binghe anymore. luo binghe curling up in this massive dragon god’s coils.

this dragon who claimed this mountain long before cultivators settled it, who has more claim to the sect than the sect leader himself, who is the actual god of the cang qiong mountains—

this great god called binghe gifted, clever, capable. this god looked at sqq and said he was afraid of luo binghe’s potential. it seems ridiculous to luo binghe; he’s made no progress with his cultivation since arriving. shen qingqiu took one look at him and knew he was worthless, but their sect’s god looked at him and decided the opposite.

it’s a lot for binghe to process. a part of him is waiting for lord canglong to turn and say it was all a joke and binghe’s a fool for believing there could possibly anything worthy about him. but instead he vanishes back to his peak just as swiftly as he came, and when luo binghe arrives he’s in his dragon form again.

and he pats luo binghe’s head.

maybe it’s because he doesn’t really understand lord canglong’s expression when he’s like this, but luo binghe finds himself weeping. and when he cries, lord canglong guides him to rest on his serpentine body and curls around him like—like binghe’s something to protect, something precious. when was the last time anyone protected him?

luo binghe cries himself to sleep curled up against shen yuan. his heart aches for the little protagonist. this poor kid. yeah, he’ll grow up to be a badass demon lord with more wives in his harem than the stars in the sky; but right now, he’s just a kid.

these are his mountains, even if he’s been asleep for most of the past 700 years. they’re still his territory, and the sect is made of his cultivators; didn’t they swear themselves to him or something when this generation ascended, just like the last seven generations? now that he’s awake, shen yuan is going to make sure his mountains survive. shielding luo binghe from shen qingqiu’s cruelty is just step one, right?
