Catch me out here making posts on how to collect milkweed seeds because I'm hoping at least SOMEONE out there has good luck

*collapses to the ground* my fuckin swamp milkweeds got Heat Waved and barely even flowered, let alone got pollinated.... I'll have to see if my root stock ones or Swampy even come back next year, but this year definitely isn't the Year of the Ani Swamp Milkweed Success

[arolesbianism]

I have obtained a new oc and in the process I've already signed myself up for needing to make at least 3 new ocs for his story which he now has despite me initially Intending for him to be a side character for a different side character to hang out with. My townhouse has over 200 characters on it.

BNHA College AU - Midoriya Izuku

Major: Biology

Minor: Forensic Science

Sports: Track

Clubs: Various fan clubs

Ever since izuku was little, he always had an interest in helping people. He’s overly caring and too nice for his own good, and on top of that the biggest overachiever on the planet

Which is why he wants to become a doctor. He hasn’t picked a specific department to go into, because he finds everything so interesting

He did also consider going into forensic studies as a whole career, always thinking solving crimes and stopping bad guys was super cool as a kid, and he knows there are ways he can kind of mix both interests, but for now hes just aiming for his degree

He does also hope to maybe be able to teach at medical schools later in life, once he’s fully experienced so that he can pass on all this experience to the next generation

Growing up he was always weak and small, and so towards the end of high school he decided he wanted to change himself a bit and worked out like crazy, going from scrawny as hell to strong and buff.

He’s always going to the gym in his free time, and he thought it would be a good idea to join a sport that way he can have some motivation to stay fit, so he picked track since he’s pretty agile

Any time a new fan club gets made for something he happens to be interested in, he’s always willing to join it, even if theres only like 3 members. He might not be the most active member, but he loves them.

Izuku is kind of known across campus now, hes so friendly that people cant help but like him. He’s also insanely helpful, and takes god tier notes, so a lot of people rely on him for help with school work

So, he has a busy schedule constantly. He prioritizes his friends over random people always, but with his heavy study based school paths, with sports, and working out, he rarely has free time

You had had a few classes with him here and there, and talked to him once or twice. You knew he was super sweet (and very cute), but you never really expected to even become friends with the dude

Which is why you were almost terrified when he ran into the room you were using for your new club (that you literally started like 2 days ago). You were more so looking for something to put on resumes and stuff, how you ‘managed a successful club in college’ or whatever, so you decided to make a fun little fan club for your favorite anime

Sadly, people weren’t exactly rushing to it (you knew it might take a while, but you knew people would come eventually at least to check it out). Which is why izuku running in so excitedly scared you

“Oh hey! y/n right? We had anatomy together last semester!”

You nodded, kind of surprised he remembered your name, and you asked why he was there.

“I love this anime, and I havent seen any other clubs for it here so i thought i would check it out.Is it just you?”

“Yeah, I just officially started this club the other day. No ones come yet except you.”

“Ah, well don’t worry, I’m sure people will come soon. It usually takes a week or two.”

The two of you started talking more, both about the anime you mutually enjoyed as well as him giving you advice for how to make people flock to your club.

He actually stayed for the entire time you were allotted to use this room, and helped you clean up (there wasn’t much, but you still had some materials just in case people did show up)

Afterwards, you both said goodbye, and went off on your own

Following this, twice a week every week, he would meet you for your club. Eventually more people did show up as well, izuku’s advice was working well, but you were more so interested in talking with him. As it turns out, his sweetness isnt just an act, and hes actually really interesting and fun to talk to

He would eventually even come a bit early to help you set up. Youd usually bring snacks and something artsy to do, or any type of activity you could think of to relate to the anime, so you tried to get there a bit early

After club one day, about 3 months after it started, Izuku and you were cleaning up the room just talking about whatever before he changed the topic

“Did you want to go get food after this? Like real food? I haven’t eaten all day other than what you brought.”

You were a little surprised, you had never hung out outside of club really, but you were definitely happy to do so so you agreed

The two of you walked to a near by restaurant, which also surprised you because you thought he meant fast food, and went inside. He told you to get whatever you wanted, that itd be on him, and you started to protest, “No, its okay! You don’t have to pay for me.”

He shook his head, “You have to buy snacks and supplies every week, youve probably spent way more than I will today, so I don’t mind.”

You definitely felt your face getting warm. You couldn’t really help it, he was so pretty, and probably the nicest man youve ever met. You had thought lately you might have the tiniest little crush on him, but now you were thinking it was an actual crush

It didn’t help when the waitress, a slightly older lady, finally came to take your order and went “Aw, you two are so cute! What’s the occasion?” It wasn’t a fancy restaurant by any means, but it was definitely nice enough to be date quality, and it seemed the lady assumed you two were a couple

And Izuku didn’t even care! All he did was smile and tell her that its a reward for all your hard work lately, to which she said he was ‘such a sweet boyfriend’, and then she asked for your orders

You told her what you wanted, and went quiet. He wasn’t saying anything either, and you wished you could reach into his brain and figure out what he was thinking. Was this just another act of kindness from him? Did he not get what she was saying? Did he just feel bad correcting her? It was too much to process right now, but luckily your food came pretty quick so you could hide your lack of talking through eating

The entire meal was pretty silent honestly, and it was killing you. Normally, you two could talk for hours about anything, but it was just so weird right now. You couldn’t even think of anything to say, and Izuku was staring weirdly at his food.

After he paid, and you walked back towards the dorms, you thanked him for all of his help with your club and for the meal, and he said not to worry about it, your little club was essentially his break time anyways.

There were a few too many moments of silence to be comfortable, so you awkwardly smiled, said “well, still, thanks again” before running off, not noticing Izuku’s lingering eyes on you as you disappeared into the building

In all honesty, izuku was just as flustered as you were. Hes worked hard over the years to not let all of his emotions show, but inside he was panicking the entire time.

He did enjoy your club a lot! It was probably one of the better fan clubs he’s joined, but he didn’t give it so much loyalty just because of that. He stayed because of you - how enthusiastically you talked about the things you like, or your career choice, or anything. How passionate and caring and considerate you are, not to mention beautiful. You’re genuinely perfect in his eyes

Originally, when he asked you if you wanted to eat, he was considering asking you on a date, but he chickened out and made it sound more casual instead

Which is why as he walked back into his dorm, his roommate, Iida, had to deal with all of the loud groaning and mumbling coming from Izuku’s mouth

Izuku had told Iida about his crush on you, and about how he wanted to ask you out today, so his first assumption was that you rejected him. But then Izuku went over and told him about how much of a coward he is, and Iida realized he never even asked you

“It’s alright, Izuku, you can always try again next time.”

Izu shook his head, overthinking, “No, they probably think I’m so weird now. I was so awkward. They were barely talking the entire time we were at the restaurant. Even if it wasn’t a date, it was still so awkward, Iida! I doubt they’d ever even consider dating me now.”

He was kind of losing it, so Iida patted his back in an attempt to comfort him.

“Just go explain yourself now then, before it’s been too long.”

Izuku considered it, and he was probably right. If he waited too long, he might lose all his nerve and never ask you out. And if you did think today was too weird, who knows if you’d even talk to him again.

He decided he’d do it, and so he thanked Iida and went back outside and towards your dorm building. He had your number because you put it on your welcome message for the club for anyone to text you if they had questions, but the two of you had never texted before. He was always too nervous to

Soon after, you got a message from an unknown number, reading “Hey, its Izuku. I’m sorry about earlier, I was wondering if we could talk? I’m outside your dorm if you can.”

You immediately felt anxious, but happy at a chance to make sense of what happened earlier. So you got dressed (you had changed into pajamas as soon as you got home) and went back out as quickly as you could, and immediately noticed him

He was anxiously messing with his fingers, but he smiled softly when he saw you

“Hey, thanks for coming out here. I promise I won’t take long, I just needed you here in person.”

You nodded slowly, slightly confused, but told him not to worry and you didnt mind it.

“So, uhm, I’ll just get straight to the point. Earlier, I was going to ask you on a date, but I chickened out and made it a more casual thing. Which is still fine! But that’s why I was so weird, I was kind of mad at myself and kind of embarrassed. The waitress didn’t really help any, but her thinking I was your boyfriend did make me happy… Anyways! Before I go on too long of a rant, I’m just trying to say I like you Y/n, and if youd let me, I’d really like to take you on an actual date.”

Your heart was melting, he looked so cute and shy as he asked you, and it made you happy knowing your feelings were reciprocated.

“Yes, of course I’d let you, Izuku. I like you too.”

He let out the biggest sigh of relief, barely mumbling out ‘oh thank god’, and his smile only got bigger when you hugged him.

For your real* first date, he took you to a nearby aquarium, it was really cute. He couldn’t help but send this really cute selfie he took of the both of you in front of a sea turtle to his mom and his friend group chat

Most of his friends were ecstatic for him, bakugou did make fun of him though for taking so long to ask you out (of course he knew about his crush too)

His mom immediately wanted to meet you, and you did after a few weeks of dating

It really didn’t take long for Izuku to tell you he loved you, like maybe a month later at most, you’re cleaning up the club room again and he just stops what hes doing and kisses you softly before saying he loves you, to which you reciprocate

He takes you with him to the gym all the time, even if youre not super into working out you can just hang out with him or go at your own pace. But its a great opportunity for tons of hot pictures/videos

Same with his track meets, youre always there cheering him on

You two study together a lot, especially if youre in the same class or even similar ones. Izuku always makes sure youre prepared for your tests even if it means he has to learn the material with you

Izuku is genuinely probably one of the best boyfriends on the planet, you are his biggest motivation and he will do anything to make sure that you are happy

What is your original story about? Would you ever make a comic series of it? 👀

thank you so much for asking! unfortunately you might have to specify because i have (quickly checks document) 38 separate original stories/concepts

im going to assume you mean the one mentioned in the tags here because i havent talked about the others enough (if at all) for them to get listed on my pinned, and also that's my most recent post referencing anything original of mine. if you mean the "stellaris fic," which is now an entire worldbuilding project still sans a name, that got addressed here.

the story has yet to have an official title (i have an idea for what i want but im still toying with the phrasing to make it sound zingy) but if you'd like a (VERY) brief plot synopsis...

it's about the downfall of a short-sighted military-capitalistic space empire, whos ideologies get more extreme and destructive over time. the empire ends up eating itself inside out through frustrated citizens and explosive rioters, and their hubris also indirectly starts the chain of events needed for their 7 strongest war machines to become sentient. this leads to one of them disobeying orders and spurring conflict with a stronger empire, in the hopes that the stronger empire will declare war and put them out of their misery. this does happen, and the entire species is eradicated. the war, suffering, and distress stops, but all of the innocent civilians are taken out with it too, so it kind of begs the question of how much a clean slate is really worth. the aggressive empire's species are called the "rajmuhats," and the species that wiped out said empire are the "skuks."

the war-inciting battle machine is the main protagonist of the story and goes through a Lot. like, "leads her to think that starting the eradication of her entire creator species is a good idea in the moment" kind of events. this includes (but is not limited to) getting basically Matrixed (1999) for a time. she had no bodily agency, not even having full privacy and ownership of her own thoughts and memories. she was basically a walking resentment machine ready to strike back at her owners at any chance, and the first opportunity that presented itself happened to be... catastrophic. additionally, she believed she wasn't going to live after she set the war in motion, so she prepared to die before she had to emotionally process the fallout. spoiler: she ended up outliving her creator species and entering circumstances that prevented her from dying, so... get in the cryo chamber and think about what youve done!

if this were to ever become a tangible thing, it would be a novel, not a comic. i am eyeing a comic format for one of my other stories, though! (fandom this time, it's a fan rainworld campaign but i can't mod for shit.)

[love-is-a-pearl]

wait, in one comic where you drew Ash around 5 years old (The one where he got the Z marks on his cheeks) he was already masc presenting there. Does it mean he had been trans since he was a toddler or something? That's highly critical to me, good for him if he really is trans but it seems like Delia really wanted a boy if he'd been trans for so long

is more like.. for me in pokemon universe people just leave their kids go ungendered until they're 10? Kinda?

Like, think homestuck "you only get a name at 13" kinda deal and the whole "what's your name?" and "what do you look like?" that the professors ask in pokemon games intros.

I like to think those are not by accident, they're more like a way to make sure kids are being gendered in the way they prefer once they become "working class", "official adults" or whatever being a pokemon trainer means in pokemon society.

Is more like.. up to the point they get a starter, kids are free to do what they want, go by different names every other day and just have fun exploring that shit yknow?

And when they get their starter, they get to make a BUNCH of important decisions, like picking their forever partner, the name that will go in their ID, their pronouns, all that shit, yknow? So, most parents will raise their kids taking that into account.

(changes can happen of course, I mean I LOVE the idea of gender fluid Ash but that's something i cant say its "canon" in my AU since I havent explored that idea in detail yet)

Is not really "he always knew he was a guy deep inside uwu" but more "kids in pokemon universe are raised in environments that just lets them test this shit out" kinda deal.

And like, I favor drawing the characters close to how they look in the anime cause I prefer that for continuity sake, but since they are cis in there they will never look too different, but I will always try and tweak some small things here and there (like, giving Ash longer hair in that comic) to imply something more.

(also Ash was canonically bullied by his peers because of the issue with his father so.. i wouldn't put it past him to dress up more "boyish" or even using his father's clothes to prove he would go and be like him but better yknow? before realizing that "Hey, is not that I wanted to be like dad. I just wanted to be a dude" lmadopaspd)

...

But for real... sometimes... is just not that deep? People will give sonic top scars and he is like.. 9? and a hedgehog asopdjasiodj

pokemon is just my little escapist solarpunk utopia and I like pretenting it is a better place than real life even with the smallest little things QwQ

[malevolententity]

no but im thinking once again about charlies world state for the suckening. because i havent made my personal decisions yet on how much Canon Cities actually matter. because charlie did something really interesting to me personally with using a canon city and then just ignoring absolutely everything established about said city. and that puts me in a very fun play position of jigsawing what i think from WoD canon could still be dubious canon to charlie and what just doesn’t matter at all. and some of that is going to also be influenced by my personal canon state of LA because my LA deviates from official canon because that’s just what happens in world states that are the real world and then white wolf or modiphius or renegade put out something official that just blows up your shit. 

so heres a deranged history lesson on LA canon and where i might pen charlie as diverging from that canon

all cities are contentious on whos sect they belong too but LA is such a special case because it’s constantly flipping like on a literal 10 year cycle since the 90s and its kinda funny. v1 (1991) doesn’t talk about LA to my recollection there isnt an official stance on who controls it at this point. but in v2 (1994) we get our sourcebook in LA that talks about how from like ~1800-1944 LA was a cam city but then from 1944-1994 it has joined the anarch free state and we get a chronicle to explore a crumbling anarch city thats trying to not blow itself up while also trying to establish some sort of barebones government so it doesn’t just turn into a sabbat territory. at this point its kinda up to you what happened!

we then jump to v3 and 2004 with the videogame vampire the masquerade bloodlines! LA is back to being under the camarillas thumb this happened at some point between 1994 and 2003 we are never really told when prince lacroix came in and stomped on everyones shit. just that he did and everyones really mad about it. we then learn about 4 of the anarch barons isaac abrams of hollywood, nines rodriguez of downtown, and the voerman twins of santa monica. there are also 3 named primogen of the city gary golden of the nosferatu, max strauss of the tremere, and alistair grout of the malkavian. there is a shown ventrue and toreador primo but we don’t actually get to learn anything about them theyre ultimately not important. but we learn a lot of guys names! 11 days of insanity happen and the camarilla fall once again and LA turns back to being an anarch free state on october 31st/november 1st of 2004!

it is now v20 january of 2018 LA is once again in a contentious spot for the anarchs. san diego players are invading and looking to instate themselves as prince. there’s a set of hooks and various endings for chronicles mostly surrounding the idea of LA bending to a new prince (vannevar or tara) or being completely taken over by the kuei-jin(1) who have been in the city since 2004. there is an anarch rubble ending proposed but it is the least likely outcome. these plot hooks are part of the source book becketts jyhad diary to help bridge the gap from v20 to v5 which came out in august of 2018.

v5! september of 2018! the source book came out in august and the actual condition of LA is not mentioned. there is the officially produced actual play LA by Night and all of its events are canon to the official world state. LA is in limbo. vannevar thomas won the v20 san diego conflict and has claimed himself as prince of LA. and everyone really hated that and tried really hard to ignore him but his foothold grew. all of the barons and primogen from 2004 are still barons and primogen of their respective territories. and we learn some new ones! but by 2021 vannevar is removed as prince, denounced by the camarilla at large, and presumed to have met his final death. no one whos prince in LA ever has it good. or lasts long. 

now that the canon history lesson is out of the way. i dont know if charlie actually knows any of that lore LMAO. i dont think any of it actually played a part in how he wrote the LA camarilla 

BUT there are a few ways to split hairs on official LA canon still being somewhat real in his world regardless.

first can be that san diego vs LA instead ended with The Queen getting involved and instating herself as prince of LA. rather than vannevar. and the previous barons and primos meeting their ends at some point in this conflict. this ones just because i truly do not see charlie as an actual big long term vtm dweeb. who’d make another teams actual play canon to his actual play even if it is actual official world canon. i don’t think he’d want someone elses actual play world to effect his. 

another is The Queen watching different princes claim LA and then in a few short years routinely getting final death’ed by the anarchs of the city, where she just in 2021 goes “okay. lacroix sucked. vannevar sucked. my city now. this won’t happen to me” and then she gets blown up by the grimslayers in 2023. its a cycle that no prince can ever have a true hold on LA. LA is inherently cursed to consume its princes. it doesn’t explain the primos changing if vannevar is canon but it could easily be twisted that during the riots against vannevar during the second inquisition raiding the city that the primos got caught in the crossfire. because i don’t know how else to make sense of them changing between reigns. because for me at least its hard to imagine the primos getting voted out with the loyalty they command. theyd have to die to change.

i think its also very likely that charlies world state could have The Queen taking charge between 1994 and 2005. this is the most neutral one as it ignores anything stated in v3 to v5 about LA. theres no messy wonderings on barons and primos that exist through those versions, because its just the v2 lore of anarchs are struggling, what nameless person will claim power next? and i think The Queen slots in very nicely here.

to have a definitive answer on what i ultimately believe is dubiously true id have to rewatch the first 5 episodes just to see if during shilo time theres ever a concrete mention of how long The Queen has explicitly ruled over LA because that Does effect all the possible outcomes of dubious canon. and charlie loves to play it fast and loose when it comes to timelines.

i think the most interesting and compelling for me personally would be taking over after vannevar even though i personally don’t enjoy or have vannevars reign being canon in my own world state. but her taking over after vannevar is so fascinating to have the hubris of princes thinking time and time again they wont fall to the curse of LA princes being short lived and then it keeps happening. especially with edward vying for prince and the boys immediately trying to take him down after the queens death. and then killing A Version of him on tv. the themes. the motifs if this timeline is real are just so juicy to me as someone who interacts with official canon. that i think id like to think its this one. 

but most likely she took over by 2004. thats the cleanest diverging point regardless of if you do or dont know the history of LA and the only one that i think can be semi supported within suck canon at this time. with the single line mention that The Queen put emizel into his dads care pretty immediately after birth. and the twins are 18 or 19 so thats gonna be 2004 or 2005. because i dont think she’d put emizel in a city that she doesnt have any control over yet, and theres no mention of emizel moving cities as a kid (to my memory). despite the fun implications of the other two main broad options with her control being newer. 

ultimately none of it is true canon at the time he wrote and recorded suckening last year. i do not think charlie in his marathon week of researching v20 and v5 rules and helping the boys workshop characters. that he looked into canon cities and really paid attention to what happened there and would in theory be happening in 2023 when this was recorded. i think he just picked LA as a city at random and went “imma make some weird guys that fit the archetypes of their clans, yeah okay heres the government” and that was it. maybe with the time since then and season 2 he might do some retroactive stuff with LA official canon but who knows! it seems s2 might be more global focused so digging into LA lore probably won’t happen.

this was just an excuse to think about the various possible histories of LA in charlies world state if somehow official canon is at play. it 99% likely isnt but, i think its fun to try and slot his takes on the world into the preexisting World of Darkness. instead of just only being, idk i might start calling it World of Charlie, i love WoC and trying to make it make sense with my like decade long beliefs on LA because he just HAD to choose a city that has an established official canon. instead of doing like houston, or san francisco, or portland or any other city. literally theres like 4 cities in the entire world that are officially extensively fleshed out and thats LA, New York, Chicago, and London. the rest of the world will Maybe have 3 official line mentions like Prague and Berlin. but no. he picked one of the 4 cities id go crazy about and it wasnt even on purpose. and m so glad he did this to me because its making me think too much. but also. how could he do this to me? its making me think too much.

[adhdwerewolfgf]

Tell us a story about a WoD character you've played? 🥺

OH MAN UHH i've honestly only ever really played one character! one of my partners (tho they werent my partner at the time) got very into WoD after playing bloodlines and wanted to a run a VTM chronicle, so they gathered me and a bunch of other friends to play. none of us players had any idea about lore, so it was completely new territory.

i, of course, as an avid werewolf fan that didn't really have much interest in vampires themselves, asked if i could play a werewolf instead. my storyteller explained to me why that wouldn't work, so i settled for Werewolf Lite™️ (a gangrel pc), and now i am utterly obsessed with my big scary wolf girl. her name is Veronika and she just like me fr fr. i have a bunch of art ive been meaning to post of her on my art blog but i havent gotten around to it just yet......

as for a story, i can't really think of anything super interesting off the top of my head? but i do have a story from the first chronicle we played.

my partner was running an official intro story set in Denver (Alien Hunger i think it was called?). we got to the point where we were fresh fledglings and the prince had summoned our little coterie to go see him. unfortunately due to a misunderstanding on my part as a player, i thought he was asking that we meet him not on neutral ground but at his own haven, and so in turn Veronika was utterly convinced that the prince was summoning us just so he could kill us easily. this lead to her taking every method possible of not going with the sheriff, to the point of slashing one of the cars tyres with her pocket knife so they couldnt drive us. the driver had a spare of course and eventually we did go see the prince, but god did Veronika put up a fight.

once i realised the misunderstanding i felt so bad lmao, like my storyteller told me that it was one of the most difficult things they had to deal with as a GM and it was all because i was stupid and did not listen properly (though we laugh about it now, and they added it helped them improve as a GM by learning to deal with problem players). moral of the story is listen to your GM!!!

there is........ also the time Veronika shredded a group of hunters during a fury frenzy out in the woods but we don't talk about that.

[fizzypunks]

hi everyone :) its been a moment since ive been on here, but ive certainly not forgotten it. i've been v busy and life picked up since the pandemic, which was the time i got back into writing, into fic in general, and i really miss that feeling bc god knows its definitely not 2020 any more. very odd. but that does bring me to my next steps, because i miss this blog, and i miss writing, a lot. so, house keeping notes:

i miss this blog but i feel like i want something that feels lighter, so i've officially moved over to @daizedream which is now my writing blog. it's not primarily 18+ content but i obviously do write content like that from time to time, so i ask that you follow and interact only if you're 18+. thank you!!

that means my ao3 is now also changed names, and you can find me there as daizedream ~ links from my posts are now broken because of that, but we are the same ppl and is confirmed in ao3 bios.

i have written a handful of things over the past two-ish years, but i havent yet started on some passion projects that have been sitting in my brain for a good near-3 years now, and im happy to say im going to be working on those soon :>

ive written for a lot of niche and rare pairs/ideas/etc and i really appreciated the support and the sense of community that came from those stories, so im actually really excited to say that i have a lot of ideas for those niche/rare pairs, and im planning on writing and completing them next year ~ shikaneji lives rent free in my head and it's been way too long since they've made it out of my head. i have a little fandom list on my other blog tho so i'll be writing for those fandoms too

i am on break now bc im back in school, so it's going to be a bit slow going next year for some projects, esp the big chaptered one that needs planning, but i am hopeful and excited for the short stories/oneshots that i wanna work on and share. school and work dictate the pace of these things, im afraid, so i cant guarantee consistancy

anyways, this is really long and i had to blow off the dust on this blog to even use it but if youve read this far then thank u very much, it means a lot to me, and i wanted to update because i really do miss the community and the writing and the indulgence of way back when, and i just wanted to pop back in and say it. thanks! happy holidays! and please stay warm, its a cold one this winter ~

see you over at daized ~

[silasopossum]

just got the notification that my base is officially in transit to the USA, so im gonna discuss my plans for him rq :]

so basically, all my fursonas have historically been feline (once i got over my horse art phase. i was never really connected to my horse sona anyways). i WOULD have gotten a feline headbase, but the problem with that is very few makers specifically sell a BOBCAT base, it's usually a canadian lynx or domestic cat or lion or something. cool, but i love focusing on small details in species differences so it would bug me forever if i put my bobcat fursona on a canadian lynx base. the other issue is that if i DID make a fursuit for my bobcat sona, i would 100% want a realistic base, since her cartoony design changes so often. plenty of makers sell realistic 3d printed or resin bases, however i am NOT confident in my ability to transfer a realistic design onto a base myself (especially since most realism fursuits involve airbrushing. i dont think i could do that well in an ideal environment, much less my 115 square foot bedroom which is my only workspace). i just dont feel i would be able to do her justice... and i wouldnt really want a toony styled head for my actual fursona.

and making a base myself isn't an option because 1. i cant even sculpt clay symmetrically, it'd drive me crazy if i tried it and 2. aforementioned tiny apartment problems. im not dealing with foam going everywhere... OR learning how to 3d model and print or resin pour or whatever else people use to make fursuits.

so i was looking through makers just for funsies and then i found the opossum base by ligris cybernetics / ligrisprints. and idk why but every ounce of my impulsive body decided "YES. OPOSSUM FURSUIT. NOW." ive never even had an opossum fursona before so i have no idea why i was suddenly so sure about it. but i was! so i decided to just make a new character specifically for this project.

i decided on the name silas (at the URL implies) and i designed a quick character on the fly, based entirely off of photos of real opossums instead of already having an idea. this was interesting for me, since i didnt realize how common the white spots on opossum ears are? i always thought they were only black, but most photos i found showed a little bit of pink/white so i added it to the design

(quick sketch, drawn over the sale image on ligris cybernetics' website. i also loosely based this off of the stylization of my one other opossum character's design. the black bits under the eyes are going to be eyelashes, cut out of felt. the grey will PROBABLY be fur markings, but i might change that to black felt too)

opossums are also fairly easy to design, since they are typically recognizable with only two fur colors (white and grey), and their faces are usually mostly white. it'll be easier for me if i only have to buy two fur colors.

another thing i'm planning on is having handpaws- this will be easy since opossums always have naked fingers... so i'm planning on just buying a pair of fingerless gloves and adding fur to the glove part and leaving my fingers out. will be much easier to wear too

one thing im unsure of is how to fur a moving jaw... ill need to look up some tutorials for this. because i think if i dont add at least a little fur around the hinge, the mouth will look way too wide...

another small issue is that this maker tells tpu ears for basically any species EXCEPT opossums. so my plan is to buy some fosshape plastic and make ears out of that? ill also add minky fur OR felt to them to add the color patterns. i havent decided between the two yet, but i think painting the ears would look strange? even if it's technically more accurate for the real animal.

i also got some fur color swatches a few weeks ago. getting swatches from fursuitsupplies, i tried out baby pink monster, silver lux fox, super short white, silver beaver, and silver lux shag. i like the color of the silver lux fox best, but the texture of the lux shag seems better for an opossum character, so i'm unsure. the beaver feels nice but is too short for what i want the longer bits of fur to be. the super short is nice, but i will still probably get the fur all in one length and just shave it. the monster fur feels gross to touch so i'm definitely not using that. i already know what minky fabric is like so i didn't bother getting samples for that (but i probably will order samples when i decide concretely on what fur to get once the base comes in, just to be sure of the color before i spend money on it).

i'm thinking of covering the nose of the base with pink minky OR pink felt, but i'm not sure if that would work with the base, so i'll decide that once i actually get my hands on it. otherwise, i will be painting it. i also think i'm gonna make a tongue with minky fabric

tail will also be a thing. since opossum tails are prehensile, i want to make it posable... i thought about using plastic ball joints / doll spines, but i know from my longfurby adventures that those are kind of heavy, so i think i will use wire instead.

not gonna bother with a bodysuit, those sound hellish to walk around in. i'm just gonna wear long sleeves and long pants

another thing i an excited / nervous about is adding hair... i want silas to have hair. SPECIFICALLY revenge era gerard way hair

and i know a lot of fursuit makers create hair by putting together pulled-out yarn OR brushing out fur both ways... but i don't like how that looks. since if were meant to believe that a plush in the case of a fursuit tail is flesh, and fur is their actual skin/fur... then it's just like... amorphous globosus... or a gigantic skin tag / tumor... TO ME... many fursuits make this look amazing don't get me wrong but i just couldnt get it out of my head if it was on my own suit. so i decided that i'm going to try and weft the hair, like in this tutorial? https://www.tiktok.com/@chaoticreations/video/7334668616350092577 (sorry for tiktok link, i know this creator uploads to youtube but i couldn't find the short) and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo4FCmT1DP8 i'm thinking that depending on how i'm able to fur the head, i might be able to make a kind of wig thing that magnets on? i don't want to add the hair directly onto the head in case it looks like shit and i get tired of it, so i want it easily removable. might use velcro instead... also want it really long in the back.

i also got the eye mesh pre-installed on the head by the maker. which will be easy for me if i like it... however i DID request slit pupils and i'm second guessing that decision right now. i'm also unsure if i shouldve made them green instead of grey... but i guess i'll see it once it arrives :]

i also was JUST barely in the sizing for a "small" size head according to this maker, but just to be safe i ordered a "medium" size head instead. if it's to big (which it probably will be), i'm going to add foam inside, which will probably make it more comfortable anyways. iirc you can also use foam to hide the hinges in moving jaws? so i can just use the foam for that too. not sure yet.

and i already have sandpaper and stuff for sanding down the 3d print. just gotta wait for it to arrive... probably a month since it's gonna go from poland to the usa... if it gets lost in shipping i WILL cry (since mail people love to just not deliver to my apartment complex. because apartments are haaaaaaaard to deliver to (even though all the doors are easily accessible from the street with no key necessary)...)

FUNZ FICS??? GIMME

since like 7 of the ones in that list are funz (or include it) heres a basic rundown of all of them i guess lmao

funz pregnancy slash kidfic brainrot: like i said in the og post this one is less of a fic and more of a bullet point list of brainrot but basically: started as an idea for a breeding kink heavy omegaverse oneshot where foolish gets "baby fever" and cant stop thinking about having kids (with punz specifically). but then i never ended up writing it bc i got distracted thinking about them being cute and domestic while foolish is pregnant and them raising their kids together (they have twin girls). maybe i'll write it eventually idk, i do have a couple of cute little sketches related to it as well if anyone would wanna see those

funz body worship nonsense: what it says on the tin basically, punz kissing foolish all over and listing off things he thinks are attractive about him. they probably fuck idk i havent written that far yet. was started as a way for me to wax poetic about things i find attractive about foolish if i'm being honest

ahaha yeahhhhh: ok this one is actually kunzish (the ship name i invented for karl/punz/foolish bc i have seen barely anyone else talk about it) but funz is included ok. karl punz and foolish are watching a movie together, they think foolish fell asleep (but he didnt), and start talking about all the ways they want to fuck him. foolish finds that he enjoys hearing them talk about him like he isn't there, ends up giving away that hes not actually asleep, they fuck about it

funz empty: really basic horny oneshot, omegaverse (foolish omega punz alpha). foolish takes a day off streaming bc hes on the edge of his heat and dealing with the craving to have something inside of him. ends up on a call with punz, who asks him why he didnt stream that day (thinking he just got sick or something), eventually gets foolish to admit why and offers to help out, cue discord e-sex

yep its funz time: set vaguely in the nc frat house era where punz was living there for a while. after a random tension filled night where punz ends up giving foolish a blowjob, they end up in a weird undefined friends with benefits situationship. foolish is treating it with a sort of go with the flow attitude and not really defining it to punz, which eventually ends up scaring him off bc hes fighting against a bunch of repressed feelings and maybe a little bit of internalized homophobia. they start avoiding each other entirely, but because its making them miserable (plus a little bit of goading from karl) they end up talking about it and foolish realizes he had a crush on punz the whole time and was being an idiot about it not thinking deeply about his feelings and they make up and are boyfriends officially yippeee

omega punz: punz is an omega but grew up thinking he'd be an alpha, so he's really ashamed of it and pretends to be an alpha. things go well until he meets foolish, one of the only alphas he actually feels comfortable around. he keeps his crush under wraps until he goes on an impromptu trip to north carolina with sapnap, and through a series of unfortunate events forgets his heat suppressants and can't get new ones through the pharmacy there, leaving him to deal with omega instincts he's been suppressing for years all while living with foolish :3c predictably ends with punz going into heat and them fucking

funz new years kiss: short lil thing i wrote around new years where the two drunkenly make out at the dream team house new years countdown party, and eventually stumble into a random bedroom at the end of the night to make out and almost fuck before foolish has the foresight to go "hey lets not fuck while we're blackout drunk." they wake up to sapnap yelling at them for sleeping in his bed (which is actually my favorite scene out of the whole thing it turned out really funny imo) and after getting kicked out have a lil heart to heart about their feelings for each other awwww

i will also now apologize to the funz girlies bc i know it is rough out here and i feel like i'm teasing y'all with good ideas that are not actual full fics, but in all fairness the reason all these exist is bc i couldn't find funz fics that scratched the exact itch i wanted in my brain 90% of the time so i made them myself. i stg i will finish at least one of these one day tho I SWEAR

Infinity’s Descendant’s- Becoming La Reine de la Mort “Leaving? Again?”

5 years had passed. The Shadow Killers were becoming a house hold name thanks to Azazelle and her ‘unorthodox’ methods. They had been given several assignments and missions all of which they completed successfully, both as a full squad and in smaller groups as well. Although they had been given several assignments, most if not all of them, were very close to home. It must also be said that their assignments never included partnering with other death dealer squads or traveling to Giovanni-Montoire Territory. The Shadow killers were gaining respect of the members of several houses but they hadn’t yet earned the respect of the ‘powers that be’ in said houses. With that being said it was well understood they hadn’t earned the respect of the Camorra. The Shadows killers we ‘The people’s favorite’ but still had quite a ways to go to achieve the prominence of the other squads. This troubled some of the squad members but it didn’t trouble Azazelle. She hadn’t really been respected by anyone since her violent shove into the vampiric world. Most importantly it wasn’t troubling Lasko, he knew that it would take time for them to rise again from their fall from grace. In due time, the House of Léon would be lauded. In due time, they would receive the glory due to them. In due time, Lasko knew that he would receive the glory he felt was due to him.

——

Lasko gathered the squad together for an informal briefing in the throne room. As he spoke with them it still wasn’t clear why exactly they had been summoned nevertheless they were listening intently.

“We have had the pleasure of having Azazelle here with us for 7 years now…”

“Finally he is getting to the point” the members thought. “She has trained you shadow killers superbly as well as the death dealers of the Maziérè Family. There is no official word from the Camorra as to when she will depart from us again to train more death dealers but I can say that it will most likely be sooner than later” He paused briefly expecting at least one of them to have some input however none of them spoke not even Azazelle. Something was amiss with Lasko today, he seemed ‘off his game’; severely preoccupied. He could sense that they were picking up on his altered state of mind so he forced himself to get to the point. “I will be leaving Léon for an extended stay at Giovanni-Montoire. There have been some things brought to the Camorra’s attention that require my presence there. Azazelle is going to travel with me and will remain with me for the entirety of my stay; therefore I need the rest of you to perform your duties perfectly while we are away. If I hear there has been any whiff of unsuitable conduct from any of you there will be consequences. Tu comprends?”

“Oui monsieur” they all replied in unison.

“Very well then. Griffith, will take point should there be any issues that arise in our absence. Thank you for your time. You may go now”

_____

The shadow Killers were taking a much needed night swim after a hard training session. “Lasko didn’t mention how long your stay would be at Giovanni-Montiore. Are you aware of how long the two of you will be there?” Asked Adonis. “I havent the slightest idea. Hopefully not too long. I suppose the length of our stay will depend on the severity of whatever the Camorra is handling. Do either of you have any advice for me? Anyone I should steer clear of while I am there?” Asked Azazelle. “You’ve done just fine thus far. You don’t need our help. Just do your job and you will be fine” Griffith said his peace then left the pool. Although hard to tell, he was starting to warm up to Azazelle he just still had a hard time coping with the fact that she had the job he felt he deserved.

“He has to work on his people skills” adonis laughed shaking his head. “Never mind him! Do either of you have any words?” She was serious. Her opportunity for a positive first impression was long gone but she at minimum wanted to ensure that she didn’t disgrace herself nor her house. Malachi and Adonis looked at each other, she could tell they were debating exactly what they should tell her. “Malachi” she tapped his leg “What say you?” She looked up at him with eager eyes. In that moment he felt a sense of responsibility for her. After all the two had grown very close, she was like a little sister to him. Adonis began to offer his bit of advice before Malachi “I think it would be best for you to keep a low profile. There is no need to be a recluse but try not to draw unnecessary attention to yourself” Malachi began to speak “He is right. A few of us here at Léon are aware that you can walk in the sun. Under no circumstances should you do that at Giovanni-Montoire. If someone were to find out that you can or even worse if they catch you it would not be good for you” Azazelle’s stomach dropped. Jareth knew for sure that she could walk in the sun. Had he told anyone? “Zaz!” Adonis splashed her. “You ask us for advice then ignore us as we give it to you?” he shook his head in disbelief. “I’m sorry. I am listening I promise. Please proceed” she said wiping the water off her face. “Other than those few things I think you will be able to manage just fine” ‘Merde’ she thought to herself. She really hadn’t heard any of what Adonis said. “There is one other thing” Malachi had both Zaz’s and Adonis’ attention. “Do you think you will be able to control your sexual desires while you are away?” Adonis who had his face submerged in the water to just below his nose snorted loudly. “Yes Malachi” Zaz rolled her eyes. “I am not jesting. I do not know the full extent of your relationship with Romulus but you can get yourself into serious trouble if you fall into bed with the wrong person or people” his tone was stern but his eyes were kind. “Firstly, whose bed do you suggest I am going to fall into? I hardly know anyone there. Secondly, Romulus and I are not in a relationship” she replied. “Does he know that?” Adonis laughed. “Yes I have made it very clear from the beginning what this was. He and I are not an item. We are simply two people who frequent each other’s beds. He is free to do whomever and whatever he pleases as am I. Also contrary to your belief I do not roam around looking for ‘beds to fall into’” she used air quotes “which is more than I can say for the two of you” She had a bit of an attitude but she wanted to set things straight once and for all. “Well be that as it may I think it may be in your best interests to not entertain any sexual advances from anyone. You shouldn’t be there that long and if you’ve waited two years before, this little amount of time should cause you no fuss” “Two years!?” Adonis exclaimed. “Exactly what I said Adonis” Malachi replied with the same disbelief. “Why on earth did you wait two years?” Azazelle rolled her eyes again. “I am NOT having this conversation again”

“One last thing, try to not feed as often as you do here when you are there” Malachi grimaced after he said this. He knew it would be a sensitive topic for her.  “What is wrong with how often I feed?” she countered quickly just as he figured she would but for some reason he still started back tracking.  “Nothing is wrong with how often you feed. Perhaps I should rephrase” he stammered. “I think what he is trying to say it cut back on the amount you consume. If you can” Adonis added carefully.  The fact that Malachi and Adonis were talking to a high ranking member of their House like this was a testament to how close Azazelle was with her death dealers. Other house members wouldn’t dare speak with a high ranking member such as Azazelle as freely as this.  “What’s wrong with the amount I consume? Are we not free to drink as we please? I didn’t know that there were people who policed our thirst” She wasn’t backing down, her tenacity was one of the traits that made her a great leader. “Don’t be silly there is no one who is policing your thirst and we are free to drink as we please BUT you can be a bit excessive and uncontrolled at times.” Malachi too had learned not to back down. The two of them were able to have respectful yet heated debates often.

“Excessive and uncontrolled? How so?” She had noticed that when they hunted no one ever had as many victims as her but she wasn’t killing for sport, she needed every bit she consumed. In fact often times she held back and returned back to the house without being satiated. She had never bothered to share that with anyone though and now she was seeing that it was a good idea that she hadn’t shared. “Azazelle just three nights ago you drank the blood of 8 men.” Adonis interjected “Griffith cannot even do that. He would literally would make himself sick…” There was no visible reaction to his words, she was allowing him to speak his mind. Griffith repeatedly saw this as a weakness of Azazelle’s but both Adonis and Malachi really appreciated this about her. She was always willing to hear them out even if what they were saying was something she didn’t agree with or didn’t want to hear. “…yet you seemed as if you could keep hunting and drinking the entire night!” That wasn’t a lie. She could have easily hunted for countless more hours. She didn’t respond immediately, she allowed herself to gather her thoughts then spoke.  “I thought it had already been established that I am capable of doing several things that Griffith cannot. As far as your claims about my excessiveness and lack of control…” Malachi could tell she was getting aggravated so he changed his approach. “Look Zaz, we didn’t intend to upset you. All we are telling…Excuse me, all we are suggesting is that you keep your numbers down if you are feeding with other people.” She looked at her brothers, she knew they meant her no harm and really were trying to look out for her. “Right so not only do I have to suppress my sexual desires but I am also to suppress my thirst? What’s next? Am I to kiss Marrius’ feet every time he enters the room” “It couldn’t hurt” Adonis said with a shrug and a smile. The three shared a laugh. “I am going to head back to my chambers now. I have suffered enough verbal abuse from my so called friends” she splashed the two men.

Whilst in her chambers, she was going through her checklist of things to take with her to Giovanni-Montoire with a couple of servants when there was a knock on her door. “Azazelle, May I enter?” Her eyes widened. What was Lasko doing in this part of the House? In the 7 years she had been here should could count the amount of times he had visited the death dealer wing on one hand. “Of course Lord Lasko! Please come in” She pointed at one of the servants then to the door instructing him to open it quickly. “Ah how wonderful to see you are already preparing your things” he smiled. “May I sit?” “Of course. You have need not ask” she sat across from him “to what do I owe this pleasure my Lord?” He looked at the servants standing wait in her room and dismissed them. “I wanted to commend you on all the good work you have done with the death dealers here at Léon” Azazelle nodded in appreciation “You have not needed much guidance from me thus far but I wanted to pay you a visit to give you some advice about our visit to Giovanni-Montoire. Azazelle you have many gifts. One of which is an extraordinary gift that given your background would require a detailed explanation...” Azazelle was unsure how to proceed. Should she respond? She knew what gift he was speaking of but she had no explanation. Luckily Lasko continued “…however, an explanation is not what I have come here to ask of you. I want you to show Giovanni-Montoire what a gem you are so do not hold back in displaying your gifts. My only ask is that you abstain from displaying that gift. Can you do that for me Azazelle?” He asked with a paternal tone. “Of course Lord Lasko. I will do whatever you require of me” she replied immediately. Lasko took Azazelle’s hand and held it firmly. Then they stood up together and he let her hand go. “We shall depart tomorrow at nightfall.” His absence left her with one question….

Why all the fuss about walking in sunlight?

——

Giovanni-Montoire’s territory was vast, as we travelled through it I gazed out of the carriage window into the darkness of the Forrest. At our current pace we were set to arrive one nights time before our expected arrival. Lasko stressed the point that it was imperative for us to arrive at Giovanni-Montoire exactly when we said we would. We mustn’t arrive later than advised and especially not earlier. “Remember Azazelle you must always conduct yourself as if someone is watching your every move. There have been eyes on us since we entered Giovanni-Montoire territory and they will not leave us until we depart” He said breaking the silence in the carriage. I thought the timing of him telling me this was rather peculiar nevertheless I nodded and the silence resumed. Not long after, I understood why he said this to me. We pulled up to a quaint little cottage on the mountainside; it reminded me of the outskirts of my hometown marseille, it was nice. My only question was where would Lasko be lodging? I’ve never known him to lodge with the death dealers.

“Not as lavish as our usual accommodations however we will be here for only a brief stay. Hopefully this cottage will suffice for the day?” his lips curled into a small smile. “I supposed this will do” I quipped. “Very well. I will return to collect you at dusk. Until then make yourself comfortable” he replied. “Excusez, how am I to protect you if I am not by your side.” I didn’t expect to sleep in the same room but I atleast thought we would be in the same house. “My cottage is merely a small distance down the road. Plus, I may be old but I have enough fight left in me to defend myself until you can get to me. Go, enjoy your alone time for you will not have much of it once we reach Giovanni-Montoire” I climbed out as instructed and watched Lasko ride off in the carriage, once he was finally out of site I decided to gather some wood for the fireplace.

After poking and prodding at the logs I had managed to get a good fire going. It took no time for the carriage to get to a comfy temperature. I may be cold blooded but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy a nice toasty fire. The only thing missing now was something to drink, I searched the cupboards and found a few bottles of wine. I popped the cork of one of them and aroma swiftly met my nose, wasn’t the most pleasant smelling wine but it would have to do.

Something rustled outside the cottage window. This territory was frequently patrolled, the last time I was in this territory and ran across some death dealers it didn’t turn out so well. Suddenly a pair of yellow eyes appeared. It was a wolf, hunting for prey most likely. I gave him a respectful nod one predator to another and he took his leave. I watched him stalk his prey down into a ravine until I couldn’t see nor hear him and my eyes couldn’t believe what I saw next. The ravine opened up into a lit pathway that lead directly to a beautiful château.

I didn’t know what I was expecting Giovanni-Montoire to look like but the sight of this house at night far surpassed my expectations. Sadness consumed me, I wished so desperately that Céleste and I could see all these things together. I left the window and rejoined my bottles of wine…

[dateamonster]

i havent named the magical trio girls yet but i do wanna talk a lil abt my ideas for them so as a stand in im calling them pink purple and blue rn.

pink and blue are longtime friends who first moved in together just after highschool. blue met purple at their college not long after and when purples living situation changed suddenly in their second year she invited her to stay with them for a while, whereupon it was discovered that purple and pink were long lost childhood besties whod gone to archery summercamp together as kids. purple ended up moving in and shortly after the three were chosen as proxies. during this time purple and pink got a lot closer through heroing together and ended up in a relationship, kinda inadvertently leaving blue by the wayside. despite this, blue continued to train solo and while she is often overlooked when held in comparison to pink and purples natural charisma and electric chemistry, she is a kind of a fucking powerhouse.

team dynamics wise, pink is the leader, though the fact goes unspoken and she would hesitate to officially label herself that way. all three of them have a signature range weapon in keeping with the huntress theme. im torn between picking like an actual good sensible name for their team vs smth like pretty pretty projectiles.

btw pinks signature weapon is a longbow, purples is a compact crossbow, blues is a gun.

just read through the scabigail loredump and it's sick as hell! question: idk if you've posted about it but do you have designs for/plans to design and characterize any of the other proxies?

aa thank u!! ive drafted a few ideas! the only other characters within that like world that i rly feel like set on so far is this team of magical girl style heroes who are roommates who were chosen together in a kinda bogo deal lol. their sponsor is from a planet where the dominant religion revolves a triad of huntresses represented by the planets three moons, so the proxies reflect that sort of theme.

the core concept tho in terms of their like character is "what if you and your friends became magical girls but then two of your friends started dating so now youre just constantly third-wheeling them while they do homoerotic special fusion attacks together would that be fucked up or what".

scabigail and the trio are theoretically rivals. like many the trio start out seeing scabigail as a villain but even after theyre no longer enemies her presence still presents a threat to their standing as their citys designated defenders, which causes some tension. i think eden and the third wheeling gal end up becoming friends tho :>

[chisatowo]

So I may be a smidge obsessed with this guy

[nerves-nebula]

heck yeah more tidbits about the kidnapped caleb au!!

okay so consider this: Philip ""helps"" Hunter make a list of "acceptable boy" names, and comes up with conviniet excuses as to why certain ones Hunter picks doesn't work (oh, a close friend of the group was named that, and you don't want to upset people, do you? etc etc). Since it's convenient if Hunter is already going by Hunter (if it's a pre-transing nickname) Philip could pull the card of "you just need to have a new legal name but everyone can call you Hunter if that's what you want" (AKA it doesn't matter what you pick so why not just go with this name that I oh-so conveniently have picked for you?)

ALSO I'm wondering if the cult has anything around names? I know it's a trend in cults for people to change their names, so if in Philip's cult people get cult-gifted names THAT could be a way for Philip to name Hunter Caleb. Say that it's divine and that Hunter gets the extra special privilege of actually being able to change his legal name to his special divine one.

(haha this is totally definitely not based off of how my mother treated my name change. totally wasn't forced to come out and then given a week to pick a pre-approved name and bullied out of the ones I wanted because she didn't like them. haha tooootally not based of that. but uh, side note adults be weird. Also I think it'd be neat if part of Hunter's separating from the cult included him picking a last name for himself. A sort of "their history does not define me" moment)

Ohhh that is EXACTLY what Philip does, the sneaky bastard. He could just force Hunter, of course, but that gives Hunter ammunition to rebel later and claim that Philip FORCED the name Caleb on him! This way, Hunter (Caleb Jr. lmao) would feel guilty, because Philip didn't really force him, right???

i also like the idea of Hunter being a pre-transition nickname that Hunter identifies with the most. So his name is Caleb and everyone calls him Caleb, but he often thinks of himself as Hunter/Caleb interchangeably. could be especially interesting if the nickname Hunter is somehow related to his duties in his uncles religious movement. OK SO Hunter changing his last name is fascinating, because by the time that he'd start thinking about that, he'd probably already have met Caleb. And he wouldnt want to offend Caleb by rejecting his last name. But Caleb would (after feeling hurt of course) suggest he take on his mothers last name, since it's also his to claim. So... potential Hunter Clawthorne????

ALSO since Caleb, Hunter, Evelyn, and Eda all exist at the same time im gonna have to restructure the family line some how... either Evelyn is a third Clawthorne sibling, or is some kind of cousin. cousin would be easier, cause i wouldn't have to restructure Eda & Lilith's relationship. I do like the idea of cult-given names have a specific significance, but tbh I havent thought hard enough about the cults specific religious beliefs and practices yet, so I'll wait until I have that pinned down more to think of a good Divine Meaning of a New Given Name.

If all else fails, it could just be considered an official way of tying of yourself to the cult/giving your entire identity over to it.

also, sorry about your mom. she sounds like a bitch! real piece of work!

[rayshippouuchiha]

so i had this concept idea of aging up Kushina/Minato a little and having them have Naruto waaaaaaaaaay earlier in canon. im calling it the

like as in he's 1 year younger than kakashi earlier. They're still pretty young when he's born (a bit of an oops-baby who they love entirely). If you can't tell, this changes everything.

He grows up and is mostly home-taught, but he goes to the Academy eventually to officially be a shinobi- but before that, he meets Kakashi (who wanders and trains when his father leaves for missions), who is confused and provoked and very curious about this tiny highlighter yellow toddler who he finds alone in the playground and who INSISTS on following him around everywhere.

So the thing about Naruto in this au is that he has the Yang part of the kyuubi, and Kushina (although weakened) hangs onto the Yin part of the kyuubi. Because of this, naruto ends up having a borderline photographic memory, which means he remembers kakashi, and is ALSO curious about him. He is also dependent on the Kyuubi's chakra, which means MORE changes, because despite Jiraiya and Minato's sealwork together, it would never be as iron tight as the canon sealwork.

They meet a couple more times before Sakumo comes back from his most recent mission, and imagine the old man's surprise when his son comes home with little friend! He's delighted, first, and then Naruto starts barging in at random. theyre not quite friends, but they're not... not friends.

Kushina's the one who notices her outgoing tiny kit starts leaving the house more and more often, and she's the one who meets Sakumo and kakashi first.

there's filler and bonding...

...and then Sakumo fails the Suna mission. And then despite Kushina's hardest attempts at keeping the man mentally stable, he dies. She can't be there every moment of the day, and it's one of the few weeks where she was deployed for a war mission.

Naruto is the one who finds Kakashi and Sakumo, and is also the one to basically kidnap him when Kakashi falls into depression- Minato, who was the one to stay behind to look after his son, does not discourage this. Kakashi doesn't officially live with them, nor is he adopted- but he's over more often than not. He keeps the compound, throws himself into training, and Naruto does the same (though he has to wait a year before either of his parents allow him into the Academy).

Naruto, as he isn't part of Team Seven (minato version), is an entire cryptid to them. He's crazily skilled, but they're pretty sure they would've recognized him if he were in their class? They don't know his name? Sensei is really weird about it when they ask about him? Obito and Rin are going crazy over who he is and why eternally stoic Kakashi actually responds with enthusiasm to this tiny feral gremlin (obito and rin are both two years older than Kakashi, who is currently 8/9ish vs their 11/12ish. Naruto graduated the same year as them, idk im working on the timeline).

i havent decided if I want to keep Rin alive or not yet (leaning heavy on the not because i have plans for naruto and kakashi being borderline codependent), but Obito definitely does "not" survive despite Naruto appearing to help out during Kanabi Bridge-

PART ONE

Oh I love this! It sounds like an excellent AU basis that would have massive ripple effects on canon and would allow you to take things in so many different directions depending on what you want

introducing @gavinom​ and I’s DSMP Parahuman AU!! This is a superpowers AU based on Worm, a web serial by wildbow!!

This is a superpowers AU,,, with a VERY complicated story. There are 3 or 4 main POV/plotlines:

Tommy and Tubbo’s plotline

Techno and Phil’s plotline

Dream’s plotline

Wilbur’s plotline

also niki’s plotline bc i appreciate her so much

they’re all very heavily interconnected! There’s a connection chart here, but there’s much more detailed explanations under the cut!

basic worldbuilding info: the city that this story focuses on (Dream SMP) is run by the Dream Team! They’re a group of villains who took over the city after it was being badly mismanaged by corrupt officials. Dream has connections to Cauldron (human experimentation group looking to create artificial powers). SBI + everyone else all live in this city! Powers are common and have a classification system shown below, and people with powers are called Capes! Capes are divided into Heroes, Villains, and Rogues (who are neither heroes or villains). People get powers when they experience an emotionally charged or traumatic event or events called a Trigger Event! These events shape what kind of power the cape gains!

SBI Tommy and Wilbur are both Philza’s biological kids! Philza is a researcher with long hours, Wilbur takes care of Tommy, but all of them have something else going on! ages: Tommy: 16 wilbur: 21 philza minecraft: early 40′s?

PHILZA - Mover 4 Philza is a researcher working for an organization called Cauldron. Cauldron is experimenting on people in order to understand and create powers artificially! As he ends up more and more involved with both the research on powers and the affected people (called Case 53′s), including technoblade, he decides that he cannot tolerate this anymore, and plans to break techno and others out! He steals a vial labelled ‘Zephyrus’, drinks it, and ends up with wings! He and techno break out, unlock a ton of other cells (including Ranboo’s!), and end up on the run. However, both his sons are left behind... After months of being on the run, he and Techno finally decide that it’s safe enough to return. But hang on, why is the house so empty? And did someone just open the door?

Technoblade - Tinker, Brute 3 technoblade is one of Cauldron’s Case 53′s! His power is a Tinker power, which means that he can invent things! However, he can only invent what chat decides is necessary. This is seen as an EXTREMELY overpowered and rare ability. Most Tinkers have some kind of specialty that they’re limited to, or some other restriction that limits their Ability-Driven inventiveness. Techno’s only limit is his Chat, which can be convinced into a certain direction. He also has had a lot of physical changes like gaining claws, tusks, hooves, and a tail! Techno also has increased regeneration and resistance! He’s fiercely overprotective of Phil and the two of them are best friends! After months on the run, he and Phil return to Phil’s home, but something is off... Is that a Tinker’s lab?!

Tommy - Trump 6 and Tubbo - Tinker (Drones), Master 3 Tommy’s plotline is technically our main POV! He really admires his older brother a ton! Philza’s spent a lot of time away from home, so Wilbur ended up looking after Tommy a lot, especially after Phil went missing... wonder where he went? About a month after Phil vanished, Wilbur starts spending a lot of time away from home too, so Tommy spends most of his time with Tubbo! When Tubbo got his powers, it was... not a good day. Tubbo hadn’t been having an easy time at school, and it all kind of... got to be too much, so he triggered. However, they both quickly realized that Tubbo had gotten a Tinker power! He creates and can manipulate Drones without a remote being necessary! The two of them immediately decided to become heroes, and started making costumes and hero names and stopping minor crime! Very quickly though, they got into a situation that was too much for them. Tubbo got badly injured, and Tommy triggered his ability for the first time. Tommy has the ability to boost the abilities of people he cares about! He makes them stronger and loosens some of the restrictions on their powers. Tommy and Tubbo continue trying to be heroes when they come across Ranboo, and take him home with them! Hm? it looks like someone else is inside already, who could that be?

Wilbur - Master 4, Thinker 3 Wilbur is a very charismatic and scheming character! He cares a ton about his family, and does his best to look after Tommy. He’s bitter and angry at Phil for essentially leaving him to take care of Tommy so often, and he triggered after Phil’s funeral, over a month after Phil first vanished. His ability is illusion based! He can project illusions into someone’s mind, and can read people very VERY well. He realizes that his power is definitely a powerful one, and ends up becoming a villain! He goes to Dream, and asks for some territory to prove himself as a leader (and bc villainy is profitable shhh). Dream agrees, and Phantasm becomes leader of a territory called L’Manburg. On his villain team are niki, eret, and fundy! He doesn’t want to involve Tommy or Tubbo in this whole thing, and he has no idea that either of them are Capes. He ends up spending more and more time outside the house and running his territory. Fundy ends up looking up to him as a sort of older brother/father figure, and when Fundy ends up without a place to go, Wilbur sets him up in their villain HQ! When he comes home, he immediately notices something is up. His power had suddenly gotten... stronger? He opens the door and sees...Philza? 

Dream - Master 7, Tinker(?), Striker 2 Dream has the power to possess objects that he touches! He uses this +  custom Puppets to act as the unkillable leader of the Dream Team! Dream is heavily involved with Cauldron, and personally oversaw Ranboo’s experimentation. He and Philza knew each other as civilians, and he knows that Philza stole a serum from Cauldron, but Phil doesn’t know that he’s Dream, just that he works for Cauldron! Sapnap and George both don’t know about his involvement in Cauldron, though. Dream is looking for Techno, and wants to convince him to get on his side. He has yet to meet someone who can beat him and his ability, after all! That’s part of why he gives Wilbur territory to look after so easily - he’s confident in his ability to take Wilbur down. However, things might be more difficult than he assumes... As a bit of a side note, both Awesamdude and 5up are rogues, but he hires both of them for jobs and such!

OTHER STUFF THAT I HAVEN’T QUITE PLANNED OUT AS MUCH IN DETAIL:

fundy and 5up are in a ML style love square! 5up has a crush on Fundy’s villain identity, while Fundy has a crush on 5up’s civilian identity!

niki and ranboo are siblings! she became a villain with Wilbur to look for him. Ranboo has been missing for a very VERY long time, and doesn’t remember anything before Cauldron!

5up also tends to help out Tommy and Tubbo a lot? He saved them from a situation that was UH.. VERY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE pretty early on, and decided “welp time to become a big brother”! he’s been teaching them how to fight, and Tubbo is really having fun with it

all the plotlines collide on the same night. Phil and Techno come home at the same night that Tommy and Tubbo are bringing Ranboo home, Wilbur’s been out for the past week and is only now JUST coming home after getting Fundy settled, and none of them know about the other person’s powers at all

it’s CHAOS because Phil’s been assumed dead and has just come back with WINGS and a tall and intimidating Technoblade, who immediately pulls a sword on them, Tommy and Tubbo still are in costume, Ranboo recognizes Techno and Phil as the guys who broke him out, and WILBUR is realizing that he’s missed a hell of a lot

and NO ONE KNOWS that ranboo is the one niki is looking for! not even ranboo

theres like. a whole timeline to this that i still need to draw/write out but TRUST US WE HAVE A PLAN

George is a Precog who gets prophetic dreams! They’re primarily impressions though, and he’s ended up in someone else’s dreams a couple times... If he uses his ability too much, he gets insomnia!

karl and quackity are both there too i just havent planned their part yet!!

sapnap is a high Breaker/Brute/Striker cape, I just haven’t narrowed down the specifics yet!
