#i'm rewriting it and stuff

[bunchofdoodlesinspace]

Decided to make a little visual guide to the transformation lore I have for my personal Winx Rewrite AU. :) This ofc only covers the ones I've talked about so far, future guides will be made as I get to showing off designs of future forms.

TEXT VERSION:

WINX REWRITE: FAIRY LORE

MAGIC WINX -> CHARMIX -> ENCHANTIX

(a lil guide by yours truly)

MAGIC WINX:

The first form a fairy will use when they start to learn fairy magic. Named after the term used for the source of a fairy's powers. Characterized by a simpler, more casual look.

This form is one of the very first things a fairy learns to achieve, as it gives them full access to the range of abilities they start off with as a beginner, and gets them started on learning how to both use and control their powers.

CHARMIX:

A power-up to Magic Winx, characterized by bright, glowing lines that appear on the fairy's outfit along with a bright glow in their eyes.

Charmix is gained when the fairy overcomes a significant personal struggle, thus deepening their connection to their Winx. While it is technically not necessary, Charmix is widely believed to be a very helpful step along the road to gaining Enchantix.

ENCHANTIX:

Enchantix is the ultimate main form a fairy can gain. Once it is achieved, it replaces Magic Winx as the base form used when transforming. It is characterized by a more regal, armoured appearance and larger wings. Fairies who gain this power are known as "guardians" of their field of magic.

Gaining it requires the fairy to save someone from their homeworld, and show great sacrifice in doing so.Once it is acquired, fairies gain access to the usage of Fairy Dust, which they can use to break dark spells, as well as miniaturize. The Fairy Dust is stored in a wand the fairy can summon at any point in time.

Jay's hypocrisy is a little bit endearing to me ngl; he'll go on twitter to bitch about how much totheark stalking/filming him is causing life-ruining paranoia & then turn around and post video footage of himself stalking Alex for months and reading Tim's medical records out loud to an audience with seemingly no conscious thought connecting the two actions as The Same Thing

The Party Animal and the Goth

Duncan tried to tell her before they showed up that this would be different. She should give it a try. It’d been years since the last party she went to with him (she’d been dating Trent at the time to, something Duncan further blamed for her bad time). Maybe she’d like it now. And Duncan wouldn’t leave her alone, he swore. No awkward hanging out by herself and the dog should they have one. And if Trent was there, Duncan would punch him just for her. Blah blah. All sorts of promises. Well. She wasn’t into it. Like she said she wouldn’t be. Duncan fucked off somewhere else. Like she thought he would. And she saw her ex Trent floating around and she was doing everything in her power to avoid any awkward small talk that would ensue the second he saw her again. Like she feared.  Of course the party was going to be that predictable. She should have put money on it. And there wasn't even a dog. Around midnight she’d gotten sick of the whole thing. But Duncan was off doing something (hopefully not someone) and Geoff found her. They talked. She mentioned maybe looking for DJ and leaving. But Geoff lit up like she’d just told him he won a prize and her night got a little weird. Instead of just saying bye or helping her find DJ or literally anything else, Geoff was instantly offering to talk her back to her dorm. So that got her where she was now, walking with Geoff away from his party.  What the fuck.

Summery: A classic 'Geoff walks Gwen home' story set in the year of 2013/2014, in which Gwen has decided to leave a party early and Geoff has decided he'll walk her home. (College AU, no camp.)

man trying to make a timeline for this shit is hard 😭🙏 MCD presumably takes place during the real world medieval era but the wikis say shad and irene are anywhere between 7,000 to 9,000 years old, so if the current aphverse year is 2024, then the divine warriors would have had to be born in 4,976 B.C AT LEAST and the oldest recorded date is 4,241 B.C ;-;

this is a struggle for me just bc i use irl history and shit to formulate this stuff and my brain is not pleased that the divine warriors predate the oldest civilizations by at least a couple centuries </3

anyway this to say i'll be doing what i do best and ignoring it.

would you kick her for one dollar?

The duality of BG3 fandom for me comes to this:

There's a group of people who are - despite this being an option in game that bears (no pun intended) no consequences - convinced that based on voice acting and previous trauma Astarion is absolutely not into having a polyamorous relationship and at the same time there are people who completely ignore Gale's reaction of explicitly not being into poly and he's still being put into poly in fanart and fanfiction.

Some things are just beyond my understanding, I suppose.

Guys I'm having such a bizarre moment. I didn't expect to win like this, or to have my personal headcanons be confirmed so directly, but I also feel simultaneously robbed because Akutami is reaching into my head /jk

We received so little about Sukuna, but those brief brief brieeef moments of existentialism really caught me and I've thought about him for so long because of it. He was a fantastically terrifying villain, but there was always that dissonance there, between some of his words and actions, that portrayed that aimless longing and hurt and what that meant as a characterization point, and I'm honestly so hyped we turn around and get this in 271:

(scanlation for this panel because I think it gets the sentiment across better)

Followed by

I'm—

Y'all I started my draft for my Sukuna Reincarnation AU months ago and I never expected canon to validate me. They leave it easier and more open-ended, of course, but I'm coming on the record to say I wasn't crazy for my stretch of a character exploration and also I called it.

I won't go into the specifics of my "study Sukuna like a cockroach" notes now I just wanted to come grab the mic and announce that I beat Akutami to it >:D /lh

I'm being a good noodle and not stretching myself thin by starting a new multichap now, but I've had With the Storm in the works since January, and in light of the end of JJK and this lovely little tidbit, I'm tossing a sneak-peak from Chapter 7 because why not:

But maybe it could be. Maybe, just maybe, Uraume could accept this proffered hand and continue to hope.

---

Yet… things were different now. Things changed. Uraume changed, Sukuna changed, and even though they were still themselves, there was a myriad of shifts that piled on their shoulders until something gave way. Maybe a subconscious part of Uraume had braced for that to be a crash, but instead, Sukuna had been nothing but accepting and open. It only made them more nervous about losing him, just as they feared losing Pops. Uraume was not used to wanting, or hoping, but there was a powerful need in their chest that childishly demanded that they should get to keep both their kinder father and this happier Sukuna close, even if that may not be possible.

They nodded, not trusting their words at the moment, and Sukuna relaxed slightly.

“Good. Though that reminds me… You never really answered my first question. What do you want to do? With this life, I mean.”

There was that want again. Uraume felt the pull at their lungs until it was unbearable. They knew what he was asking; the question didn’t hinge on his involvement anymore, just them. Sukuna said he wanted to live peacefully, so what, then, was Uraume’s answer?

As much as they felt like a coward saying this, maybe that was okay. Sukuna felt the same way, after all. “I like this life too…” Uraume answered, and it was very different saying those words aloud. “Pops isn’t a shaman at all, and he’s good company and a good father. If I wasn’t able to find you, or you were not of this world, then… I would stay as his family.”

“That’s good,” Sukuna agreed, lifting yet another anxious weight from their chest. “I get that. Nobody else in my family are shamans either—at least, not really—and they’re all good people. It’s a good life, and even though I would have never expected it… I don’t want to lose it.”

It was amazing how similar they were, then and now. Uraume…really shouldn’t have worried about a lack of understanding. Sukuna didn’t have to say it, but it was clear that their thoughts had wandered down a similar road yet again. Their families, full of normal people living normal lives, were an unexpected treasure; to willingly become a monster, to become a scourge upon the world for whatever reason, would forfeit that. More than that, having people to care about made the desire to spread destruction lessen, rather significantly. Maybe that hurt and rage and bitterness was still there, in between their ribs, but in the ones that were dead and buried—a part of them, but also not quite there anymore, like when a scar ceases to constantly itch and ache and becomes only a mark on functioning skin.

They didn’t have to be monsters anymore. There were calmer, kinder things available to want—available to receive, even.

“This is so weird,” Uraume blurted, staring at their small hands and thinking of the strange miracle their lives turned into.

Sukuna barked a quick laugh before it was muffled into something like a snicker. “I know, right?” He leaned back in a stretch, his face catching the sun and lighting him in something that wasn’t a fire, but equally bright. “It’s not bad though.”

It was weird, to be a child, to be without some far-off goal, to be loved and happy, in the sense that it was absurd and foreign and absolutely unexpected. It was a breath of fresh air after years and years of having frozen lungs. Weird, surprising, but unmistakably good after so long of believing that no such term, deceptively simple, could have ever been applicable.

“Not bad at all,” Uraume agreed, a bright and blooming thing in their chest as their life began to slot into a new place. Still open-ended and perhaps a little terrifying for it, but Pops accepted them, and Sukuna accepted them, so maybe they could truly accept themself now, and whatever that will look like.

Eat Your Ego, Honey ( Homelander x OC )

ongoing series. words to date: 49k. 18+ main themes: dark romance, stalking, sex work, unhealthy relationships, alcohol, codependency, trauma bonding, rough sex. see AO3 for detailed tags.

summary: Layla Alden is an escort who specializes in the marriage of sex and emotional intimacy. In an effort to protect herself in an inherently hazardous industry, she enforces a strict ‘No Supes’ policy. Homelander doesn't take no for an answer, and insists that she take him on as a client. She's quickly caught up in the maelstrom of his life, forcing them both to confront feelings of obsession, danger, love, trauma, sex, and how the entanglement of all of those things have shaped their lives.

Homelander is an enigma. One moment he is moving with sexual prowess, eager and confident in himself, and the next he is subdued, utterly entranced by nothing more than a bare-handed touch. He shows all the trappings of a man who has had plenty of sex, but very little intimacy.

Fiiinally posting Tecna's s1-3 transformation redesigns here! Irl stuff got messy for a bit so it took me a lil longer to get this one done.

As always, transformation lore for my version of the show is here, more in-depth design discussion and such below. :)

Alright so. I do not like Tecna's canon Magic Winx design at all LKJDKLG. She was one of the first fairies I thought of when I originally tried doing redesigns like, 2-3 years ago now (idr if I posted hers here, but I might've). Either way I knew going into this I was not gonna be sticking close to her canon outfit at ALL beyond the colour scheme, but I kept a few elements here and there, like the long socks and gloves she has reflecting the appearance of the boots and gloves in her og fit, and the green gem on the center of her chest. I will admit, I did not expect to like the crop top look on her but it works so well imo. I think my favourite detail is actually the goggles. I feel like they're a solid replacement for that weird lil hat she has in canon.

Also, I change up her wings to make them look more...wing-like. Although I do think the way they unfold into an almost paper airplane shape when she flies to be pretty cool. Unsure if these ones do that or not, haven't decided.

Enchantix was an interesting one for me because I wanted Tecna's specifically to feel much more futuristic than the others (for obvious reasons). Idk when or how I decided to do the thing with the top and how it flows up from the belt over the shoulders, but it's probably one of my favourite design choices ever right now, I love it. I do feel like I might go back in the future and try to give this outfit more detail, but idk, I kinda like the simple look of it, it feels fitting.

Oh, and of course, I gave her wings bottoms. :)
