#i love charmed

[mapofyourstars]

mappers this is me asking for you to yap about the charmed au 🎤🎤🎤

(from @mister-peregrine :))

oh, god, will I definitely yap about the charmed au I have planned. and if you have watched charmed and would like to yap about it and help me with plot stuff, I would love you forever. this goes for @mister-peregrine as well as anyone else who knows about charmed.

putting under a read more because spoilers and I dunno how long this is gonna get... also, this discussion will assume some basic level knowledge of charmed, but for the fic, I will definitely be explaining more to make the charmed universe clear to non-charmed fans.

ok ok, so the charmed ones will be charles, raven, and, at this moment, jean - but I am totally, totally up to changing that if another character seems better. jean will be the oldest, charles middle, and raven the baby, of course. brian xavier will be a witch like patty halliwell, and he will die before passing on the coven and family knowledge to the charmed ones. haven't figured out specifics of how everyone comes together - probably going to be a family death like in the show - but I'll hammer that out later. (open to suggestions!)

charles' characterization will be a mix of piper and phoebe, but I'm thinking mainly a piper-like characterization with charles floating throughout. not very ooc, but he'll have make some questionable decisions. his abilities will start with premonitions, then level up to empathy, and then finally telepathy with probably another ability after that. phoebe had levitation at the end, but I dunno if I like that, lol

jean's characterization will be 100% prue, which can either be a good thing or a bad thing. prue was very grating to me at times, so jean will be the bossy big sister who just wants to protect her family at all times. haven't hashed out her abilities (sort of like raven's), but I think it'll start with a lower-level ability (suggestions please!), then telekinesis, followed by another ability higher than that (more suggestions!). maybe astral projection like prue, but honestly, that's boring to me, lol

raven's characterization will be a mix of phoebe and paige, I think, leaning more into the impulsivity and childish-ness of phoebe from time to time, especially early on in the series. raven will be the stereotypical little sister, probably like 20 or 21 (charles like 25 and jean like 29). her abilities will evolve into full-body transfiguration like her x-men ability, but I think she'll have object transfiguration to start, and maybe have piper's abilities too - freezing and exploding - just because they deal with matter manipulation? dunno if that's a stretch to have her have those abilities, so once again, open to suggestions!

their whitelighter, if I keep jean as the sister, will be scott, of course, which I think will just be funny. never really written a good dynamic with those two before, and certainly never written scott in anything more than a few lines. but I think he'd be the perfect fit for a whitelighter - fiercely loyal, willing to jump in front of a train for his charges, but also will get his ass yelled at by jean if she deems fit. I think their relationship will be more fiery than piper and leo's, but I do think they'd be a good pair to include. so if there are suggestions away from jean for the other sister, I'd need a whitelighter to match; some things to consider.

basically, the plot will be bits and pieces from the series. I'm currently looking through some of my favorite episodes and just adapting them to fit my needs or just take inspiration from them. probably going to have a lot of world-building to start, but it'll be well-worth it in the end. and as for how erik becomes involved...

it seems fairly obvious that erik would be like cole - if you know, you know - I really don't wanna spoil more than that. dunno if charles will meet erik in a similar manner like phoebe and cole, but they will fall in love, charles will be none the wiser, and erik will slowly develop feelings for charles and then quickly fall face-first into love. then, for those of you who know how charmed went... you can see where I might be going with this.

BUT. I'm going to change a lot of phoebe and cole's love story because charles and erik are going to be different characters and have different motivations. I do think that the climax of the story will be something to do with the source, who I'm thinking would be a figure like apocalypse. might take some plot points from the show for those climactic moments, or I might spin off with an entirely different idea. I still have quite a bit to map out with this, but I'm kind of excited to see where it will go.

honorable mentions though will be emma and azazel, who will be assistants pretty much for erik. cue ridiculous interactions between the three of them and emma always chastising erik for doing nothing as planned. azazel will just sit back and watch them bicker all the time and then come in whenever he is needed most, probably to always fish erik out of trouble.

I want to include some warlocks, demons, creatures from the show because I loved them so - so we'll have barbus, I'm sure; tempus, definitely; darklighters; and probably other demons that I hold near and dear to my heart. probably will have to change their names to fit other characters in the xmcu, so here is another place where I'm open to suggestions! who would be a good demon of fear and a demon of time?

ALSO. if you've read this far and you understand what I'm talking about and you wanna talk to me about this fic, I will take any and all conversations. this fic is kinda gonna be my baby because I loved charmed so, so much growing up. so if there are things that you wanna see happen, like certain episodes or tropes, let me know. if you think some characters/ideas should be changed, also let me know. and if you just wanna yap and brainstorm and flesh out the plot with me, I'd love that very much a lot.

okay, I'm done (:

i read the cutest reddit thread today where this 19 yo boy was “babysitting” his 15 yo little sister while his parents were away on vacation and she got this horrific period and needed to be taken to the ER.

and this sweet 19 yo boy was doing all he could to take care of her, giving her meds and water and then packing stuff up to go to the hospital once reddit was like “yeah if she’s soaking two tampons in an hour you should go” - but being only a little older than a child himself, he didn’t know what to pack, so he brought like three things, and one of them was SUNSCREEN.

lmao everyone on reddit was like “you’re a really good brother but sunscreen?? for the hospital??” lmao they are roasting him. also op’s sister changed his name in her phone to “spf” and their dad calls him “bananaboat” now. this guy is never living this down

(also his sister is ok and it turns out their family has some kind of genetic blood disorder)

it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles

this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it

it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it

that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible

they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge

you hook up with izuku drunkenly at someone’s birthday party and it’s not even that you regret it in the morning it’s just that your post nut clarity hits that you slept with the boy you’ve known since pre-k all because of a couple of drinks and when he wakes up you’re still freaking out and you make him pinky promise that this won’t mess with your friendship, “izuku do you hear me? we are NOT going to be that pair of sad best friends that fucks everything up just because of sex. sex is nothing. we’re never gonna do it again, so we’ll be fine right?” and the whole time he’s nodding along with wide, glassy eyes not listening to a goddamn thing you’re saying because he’s been in love with you since middle school, and last night you said you loved him, too. granted he was inside of you, and he said it first, but you said it back, and by that point it was well after one in the morning so the only thing you two were drunk on were each other. it’s probably why the very next day he is at your doorstep with a notebook in hand and a grin on his face that’s something right in between cocky and sweet when he says “i think we should sleep together again. and before you say no, i made a list about why 😁 number one: we’re really good at it. number two—”

i don't think you guys understand the levels of lesbianism in this scene

this 90 caliber electric net is caitlyn's E ability......aka, she's the ONLY champion in league of legends that can use this ability.........thus, the writing decision to have vi, a separate, melee league champion, be the only one in the show that EVER also triggers it (someone informed me that cait does use it during Hellfire), with her bare hands (and against another champion, at that), suggests levels of intimacy and trust that i can't even comprehend

additionally, this isn't the first time caitlyn's given up her gun (aka ALL of her special abilities) for vi, either

oh to have a girlfriend

My favourite thing about Alastor is his hoard of gal pals!

He’s just a cool and charming dude that women feel comfortable around…And is also a power hungry eldritch horror.👌👌👌

Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.

I HATE how this turned out WITH A PASSION.

Zeus: I can't believe you're late. Where have you been all this time?

Hermes: I had urgent circumstances...

At that time, urgent circumstances:

What if the characters in Ace Attorney all texted each other. Because they're friends. <3

(My alt text descriptions were a little long so I've added the individual text exchanges below, btw if there's any way I can improve my alt text please let me know!)

[id: drawing one shows text history between Maya Fey and Phoenix Wright on Nick's phone, starting with older texts at the top

Maya: ramen? (Nick has given this a thumbs up)

now we see texts from today at 11:37

Maya: Burgers?

Nick: sorry, not today, big case :(

Maya: Aww Nick

Maya: I'll pick it up and bring it over!

Maya: ... can i use your credit card (she punctuates the sentence with a big smiling face emoji) /end id]

[id: drawing two shows text history between Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth on Miles's phone, starting with older texts at the top

Edgeworth: This was a riveting article, I thought it might interest you.

now we see texts from today

Nick sends a screenshot of a twitter post that reads: Lawyers help people get through the worst day of their life. They're good at it because they have experience getting through their own worst day, which just so happens to be every waking day of their existence

Miles: Ha.

Nick: Just one "ha"?

Miles: Not your best work.

Nick sends a frowny face :( /end id]

[id: drawing three shows text history between Miles Edgeworth and Maya Fey on Maya's phone. The text bubbles from Maya here are green as a result of her, an iPhone user texting Miles, a google pixel user. Maya has also sprinkled several emojis into Miles's contact name, the libra scales, the angry face emoji, the shouting emoji, and the clashing swords emoji. They're mid conversation and Miles has sent a text bubble so big we can't read the whole thing.

Miles: -completely unnecessary. Doing a Steel Samurai reboot so soon after the series ended is a foolish decision, everyone will be directly comparing the two from the moment the first episode drops. I don't believe they even have a fresh direction for the show, the only difference will be the cgi. God forbid we rock the boat and follow a new character! It's abundantly clear to me that the studio executives are cowards.

Maya: Oh my gosh, and did you see the new outfits? Maya includes a sobbing emoji

Miles: Oh, don't get me started.

we see three dots at the bottom of the screen indicating that Miles is still typing. /end id]
