The Epithet Monster AU

Alright, so this is pretty old, but I figure why not share it?

~~~

The Epithet Monster AU (simply shortened to EpiMon) is an AU where epithets are living creatures akin to pets. How ‘monstrous’ an epithet is depends fully on how powerful it is (for example: the average person’s epithet would look like a normal animal with a bit of flavor, while someone like Zora would have one that’s basically a mythical creature).

Similarly to how epithets work in canon, you’re born with a connection to an epithet. However, they won’t show up until you’ve heard the word itself.

As for imbuing, it works like this: an epithet removes a part of themselves (like a scale or a bit of horn) and places it on an object, causing it to merge. The bigger the piece, the stronger the imbued object is. The only way it can become permanent is if they use an internal organ (epithets can’t die per say, but taking something important out drains them).

Yes, an epithet can merge with their inscribed, but it takes a lot out of both of them

Now for what all the confirmed epithets look like:

Dumb: A dark green deer with pale green spots

Soup: A reddish-orange shark with darker stripes

Fragile: A pale blue, glass-like peahen

Barrier: An orange komodo dragon

Drowsy: A yellow sheep with lighter swirls (yes, it’s basically just a counting sheep)

Parapet: A gray lion cub with a brick-like pattern

Goldbricker: A rat made out of gold

Sundial: An orange kirin

Coupon: A highland cow, but instead of fur it’s coupons

Bellybutton: An incredibly round squirrel with a swirl on its belly

Bluster: A bird. Just a straight up bird. It’s covered in sprinkles, but that’s probably from all the donuts Gorou feeds it.

Copycat: A green, semi-amorphous cat

The Arsen Amulet works by essentially making a ‘copy’ of an epithet (IE: allowing Copycat to learn how to transform into that epithet). It can’t take epithets, but the longer it’s in contact with one the better it can mimic them.

Eraser Cuffs work by making a person forget what they can do with their epithet (effectively turning their Creativity to 0)

the girl's head tilts watching the violet plumes rise into the sky. an orange glow flickering across the other's face as he speaks. he'd been droning on and on about how much of a pain these mafia dudes were, all she did was take care of it. what was the point of planning and plotting? when this approach was so much more fun. so she got a little trigger happy with fishbones and blasted a new courtyard into the complex? big deal. the building was ugly anyways. ( maybe next time he'd think twice about leaving her alone )

The evokers are so cool but a pain to grind bc of all the amount of rare and expensive materials honestly (a whole sunstone? seriously?) :(

-This ask has been brought to you by a very salty granblue player who just hit a roadblock trying to get his fourth evoker

OUTCH that hurts to see 😭😭

that's so true tho, the Evokers demands a lot of rare mats so it gets very frustrating, and the Arcarum only mats themselves are super frustrating since you're mostly limited by your tickets (since Sandbox's droprate is a nightmare).

and between the Sunstone and the Evolite (and the fact there's not enough Evolite in the store for all of them so you need to organize around your valor badge's loot) it's just. a nightmare.

as for this in particular, it's the specific drop we get from clearing specific sidequests in the world map/clearing a main story right? I remember getting so annoyed grinding Alanaan's (i think it was Alanaan's anyway) because at the time i hit this roadblock, i hadn't unlocked the island on which his mats was on yet. I was so angry.

and not to mention the droprate for those is so bad and it takes so long to clear it's a nightmare.

Truly the grind of:

Good luck with your grind, i'm cheering for you!! we're all in this together, unfortunately. What a nightmare.

I liked Carwood Lipton right away, I could see he was a good, smart kid, very conscientious, used his brain. Joe Toye, he was tough as nails, looked out for the others. Chuck Grant, Ken Mercier, Salty Harris, all smart, took care of the other men. They ended up sergeants. They were all good. I liked Johnny Martin, too. He was a loner, he didn’t get along with others, he was a force to be reckoned with, and he was a goldbrick (but not when it came to combat—he became sergeant of 1st Platoon). I thought he was as smart as me. He could get out of doing anything. He’d beg, borrow, and steal to get what he wanted. They called him the Scrounger. You needed a truck, he got you a truck. You need a tank, he’ll get you a tank. You need eggs, he’ll bring in the chickens. We became good friends right away. He got married that summer to a girl named Pat and I was his best man.

The Lost Boys Using Slang From When I Headcanon They Got Turned

David, 1910's: This hunt is gonna be duck soup, don't worry about it. Marko's just being a goldbrick cause he doesn't want to deal with dumping the bodies. Yes- we DO have to dump the bodies Marko, remember that time in the 40's you ended up in the hoosegow because you ripped those honey-mooner's throats out and left the evidence behind? Oh, you wanna go, ya bimbo? Yeah, that's what I thought. You gotta quit letting me get on yer nerves ya crackpot.

Michael, leaning over whisper to Dwayne: What the fuck is he saying?

-

Marko, 1930's: Ackamarackus! It's gonna be aces! Quite talking that booshwash and gimme a five-spot so I can nab us some rotgut from the convenience store. Don't be a tightwad, Paul, I know you've got some dough in your pockets. I can't just filch it from 'em, last time I did that the coppers got on my ass and I had to rip their throats out.

Michael, whispering softly to himself: What the fuck?

-

Dwayne, 1950's: Well, half of the time Marko and Paul act like little ankle-biters. Somehow they always manage to feed girls on the boardwalk some smooth apple butter though. Although last time Paul got a little too excited and flashed his teeth- had those girls beating feet pretty quick. They had a bitchin' ride, really burned rubber on the way out, but we caught 'em. It should be easy for you to draw in the ladies Michael, you're a bit of dreamboat. Oh, don't have a cow David, no one's stealing him from you. Besides, Michael's a bit too nerdy to impress me. I mean it! Word from the bird!

Michael, mouthing silently: Word from the bird?

-

Paul, 1970's: You're not gonna get all flower power on us, are you? I'm gonna be honest Michael, sometimes when we're rapping it gets a little too peace and lovey for my taste. Wait, hang on, I wanna listen to the lick in this song. There it is. You know, these guys are doing a gig up in L.A. later this year- I'm stoked. David thinks they're a little off the wall, but I just think they've got a certain X-Factor, y'know?

Michael, nodding: I can actually understand the words that are coming out of your mouth right now.

-

Bonus, Star and Michael, 1980's:

Star: Ugh, bag your face Michael, you look like you just got hit by a truck.

Michael: I had to book it back here, alright, I didn't have time to clean up.

Star: That's cause you're turning into a total couch potato. You just lie on the ground after you eat- y'know it's just like a man-

Michael: Star, don't be a hoser alright, it's not because I'm a MAN-

Star: No, I'm being legit, like, I've been reading a lot of interesting literature about feminism and how woman are socialized-

Michael: Where are you getting books from?

Star: Dwayne has a library card. Y'know Santa Carla's got a primo library.

Michael: What- Oh, shit, some of that skater didn't go down right, I think I'm gonna ralph.

Star: Smooth move, Travolta. Ugh- dude, you puked on my shoes, what's your damage?

David and the boys, watching from the corner: Kids these days sound so weird.
