A little something to celebrate reaching 3,000 hits on AO3, and in only six months!

At this rate, I feel like I’m getting 1,000 hits every two months, which I think is a good record!

Might have something to do with my weekly posting schedule too

Here’s another version of it without the line art

Let me know which one you guys think is better.

[tigertaurus22]

Original characters for an original story I’m working on.

The story is called A Kitsune in Camelot, and features five individuals who are isekai’d into another world.

They all played a game similar to Yggdrasil from the Overlord series called Sengoku Rift. They pretty much became their characters upon transfer, but not without a few hiccups.

This is three of them.

From left to right:

Arianna Coral a.k.a. Ari-chan

Real name: Arisa Sango

She is half Huldra, half Sphinx

She is twelve years old and the youngest of the five. She specializes in earth elemental magic as well as confectionery, clothes making and beast taming. Sengoku Rift didn’t really have many clothing options that she liked, so she decided to make them herself. She wanted to make her own sweets too.

Irl, Arisa is hospital bound and uses Sengoku Rift to escape into a world where she could be free to socialize with others and discover herself. Her mother is actually one of the developers, giving her some special privileges.

This is why she can play the game despite her young age.

Upon transfer, she woke up as her character but she didn’t feel comfortable in a body that was older than she actually was. She eventually finds a way to age herself back down, storing the years inside a pendant that she would later give to Ayame.

Takeshi Icescale

Real name: Takeshi Midorikawa

Irl, Takeshi is a nice old man with a loving wife and a family that had already left the nest.

He and Ayame virtually adopted Arianna after they first met her. They made an agreement with her mother to keep an eye on the girl and help her out when necessary.

They even visited her at her hospital when they could and took her to conventions (with parental permission of course.)

Takeshi is half merman, half satyr. He is essentially a Capricorn creature

He was the one to introduce gaming to his beloved wife back before they were married, and they’d use VR to talk to each other when Ayame was on tour.

He used to be in Choir, Theater and even Swimming clubs in school. He is passionate about swing music and 1920s- 30s fashion.

In the game, he is a mob boss that specializes in water/ice elemental magic and gunslinging. He’s also a talented singer and musician, as well as a thief.

Ayame Fenhuang

Real name: Ayame Midorikawa

She has been happily married to Takeshi for a little over forty years. Ayame specializes in fire elemental magic and is the chef of the group.

She is also a talented ballerina, having lived in France for a time to study ballet. This lent itself well to her becoming the first battle dancer in Sengoku Rift, inventing a new Trade Class.

She is half swan maiden, half firebird

Upon transfer, Ayame woke up in the body of an eight year old. She uses Ari’s pendant to age herself up.

Trade Classes are what they call Job Classes in Sengoku Rift and the Other World, which is called Alania.

or: peril plushie that's one of those microwave heat packs. I'd use that tbh.

i need wof plushies so bad . life-sized peril plushie but maybe its like a heating pad type situation so shes warm - 🌙💡

[premamelody]

do you have anyhthing you would liek to share about your deltarune wof au?

yes

while I'm rewriting everything as I go tho bc this is an old au. the gist is that everyone currently lives in a town somewhere in possibility which has now expanded and p much became the normal social space. kingdoms just kinda welted overtime as royals ran into succession issues. they still exist and are a fair size. some host possibility towns in dual control. but p much kingdoms kinda lost their original spark so they're kinda like modern day where yes royals exist but they're more for negotiations or showing off than really controlling everything anymore. less dragons together more lost draconian species come out. drakes replace humans in this au and are p much wingless almost powerless mutts of the tribes lost from the Scorching. Kris is a sea/rain mutt who washed up in a small town in possibility and taken in by the dreemurs so that's how that happened. this au kinda plays around with the myth that animus magic ties into a soul, the newly added soul stored in the heart locket to ensure that 'kris won't lose their mind by the time they are granted full magic' which ofc isn't even true bc animus magic doesn't afflict the user with insanity but many still believe in the myth that it does. this may change in future chapters but thats my reason for the soul or the reader would it be in this scenario? getting injected into kris.

ok mechanics time so dark worlds work as the same and are created by animus magic which is most often done by the correct animus touched knife. idk what to call it but its darkstalker type of 1 creator but lost between dragons overtime. though a knight could get a knife blessed to be able to do it again or an animus can enchant it theirselves. might go with this second explanation instead.

castle town is now a fully fleged kingdom of Dreams like the ol days where there is a Dream Palace and ralsei lives there still as a prince. I could use the 'only princesses can rule' thing as a reason why he's just a prince not a King here but eh idk. he has animus magic granted by the dark world. well he's made from it but he normally didn't have it then at one point he did yay. always was moonborn tho. twice actually. strong foresight yet just emotion sensing. Lancer is rain/mud and is tiny and Susie is his bigwings. susie is the bigwing of the entire fun gang actually, especially in ch3 and especially especially 4.

knight time knight time. they're undefined. an allwing but so dark and homogeneous that you can't tell where each tribe is. one look they're a nightwing but another they're a melanistic icewing? or maybe a dark mudwing. hard to tell. they're also an animus.

now snowgrave. so I imagine rudy as a skywing. carol an icewing of royal ancestry bc why not. so dess and noelle are sky/ice. both are more sky than ice too but dess is like sunny sandwing genes level of sky, you can barely see the ice. dess breathes fire and noelle barely got frostbreath and it's very weak. ruling the town dess was a sort of heir before it was passed onto noelle. yeah its kinda a royal system not really and maybe. royal crown, almost equally leveled by council members. bc heir noelle is cool.

so when noelle first enters the dw she clearly appears more icewingy. also her ice breath is significantly better. in sbowgrave the thorn ring might give her like icescales or frostscales. inverted firescales type deal and eventually all that built up ice makes a deadly freezing ice breath beam thingy and now berdly is a popsicle.

ok final thing maybe. tenna's are now like big physical challenge type interactable games like RainWing royal challenges. first everyone has to travel through an area do some minigames and reach a minigame stadium after that they do physical challenge. the challenges after are the same. the rainwing stuff is just in the boards. tenna is granted magic by the knight so is king and queen too.

ok acc last one ch 4 looks more like fallen seawing citadel bc that would be cool and fitting. gerson is sea mud bc parallel with susie being partially mud and undyne in the au is sea.

Wings of the arcana (Animus magic)

Animus magic in wings of fire is to put it mildly massively over powered. Having no limitation, you can use it directly on a dragon, on an item, inanimute object, anything pretty much. You can make it do whatever you want, I.E 'have Fathom do whatever I say' unless you've already enchanted yourself to be protected by others animus magic there's nothing you can do about it.

In wings of the arcana this is diffrent. Firstly you can't enchant a dragon directly. Although you can still have an item enchant a dragon indirectly. You cannot make an innaminate object move by itself. So you can't tell a coocnut to hit Lucio in the face. However you can encahnt it so that whoever picks it up feels the urge to throw it at Lucio's face. Which brings me into how Animus magic is messured in this world and how exactly it works.

Any dragon can be hatched with Animus magic and weather Mc had it before they died or not having the fools magic means they have the animus magic of an arcana. Or what is known as 'true animus magic' This allows Mc to encahnt dragons directly, to make innanimate objects move and has almost no limitation for what it can do. However, the strength of their magic depends on how trained Mc is in it. For example Mc who is still new to speaking can enchant a necklace to make Asra speak only the truth but being weak in their magic Asra can break out of it rather easily and be disappointed in Mc for doing that.

This is due to Animus magic running on two factors. Mental strength and idenfitication and the strength limit being tested by if the magic can impact emotions, perceptoions or reality itself.

Asra being a strong animus themselves has a strong mental resilance against Animus magic. Making it hard to enchant them without them being willing. Working around animus magic means they can identify it quickly and effectively only making their ability to resist stronger.

Compare that to Julian who is scared of Animus magic and doesn't understand it. That fear and uncertanty makes him weaker to Animus magic making it easier to enchant him. However, due to working with Asra he does have a higher chance of realizing it's animus magic. This won't help him fight it himself but could allow him to tell the others and get help. Unless the spell fores him to stay quiet about it.

When it comes to animus dragons magic stregnth there are two factors at play, natural power and worked on magic. I'll explain this more as I go down the list of the M6 and their relaiton to animus magic. Before I get onto the arcana.

Asra: On the higher half of those hatched with animus magic. Both parents having nautrally baseline strength. This means Asra is more likely to notice they're an animus early on in life. Especially with both his parents keeping an eye out. However, his natural ability wouldn't allow him to do something like turn a bolder into gold. Rather they would be able to do smaller spells like making an earring make the wearer warm no matter the tempature, making a ring that causes Julian to be unable to see the colour green, or make a bolder look like it's made of gold. At this level Asra can influence the feeling and look of objects but not actually change what the object is. Messing with perspective and emotions. Even as Asra trains themselves up their magic mainly focuses on tricking the sensors rather than changing the actual object. Although at the time of the game Asra is able to change smaller objects entirely. Able to do things like make a firescale dragon's scales not burn or an icescale dragons scales to not freeze. While Asra could try and change a dragons memory it would take his full concentration and a lot of time for them to make the item powerful enough to change a dragons memories.

Muriel; has weak animus magic. Unable to use it to change objects or mess with many perspective elements he can use it to help calm emotions using charm to have a soothing effect on those nearby. Allowing him to gently use it to check how a plant or animal is feeling. Being emotion based. Due to his connection to it he is just as fast at picking up on enchanted items as Asra is, although lacks some of the ressistance Asra has from their exposure.

Nadia has no animus magic however is one of the most resiliant against it only matching Asra maybe even beating Asra at it. Having a fortified mind it's hard for enchanted items to effect on her unless she is willing or doesn't realize it's animus magic. However her ability to pick up on animus touched items is rather high so good luck with that.

Portia has less resistance or the ability to pick up on animus items but has a better chance than your avrage dragon.

Lucio has a stronger ressistant against animus magic than Portia but a much harder time idenitying Animus items. Making him more supsetible to falling for it than Portia.

Julian has a weakness to Animus magic due to his fear making it harder for him to mentally fight back against it. However, they have an easier time picking up on animus touched items than Lucio does.

Mc has a naturally strong resisitance to animus magic and a natural ability to idenity it. This is due to having the fools magic.

With that segway; the major arcana and animus magic. The major arcana have the strongest animus magic ever. Said to be the first dragons with animus magic they have all the abilites as in the wings of fire. Almost no dragon outside those resilant can fight back against their magic, even then certian arcana have animus touched items even those mose resilant can't beat. I.E the devils chains. Only the fool has the power to break them, not even the star can. In return the star has her water, able to heal almost any injury and able to catch glimpses of the future.

They are seen as the only 'true animus' dragons due to having no limitation on their power.

Thank you! Imma just dump all my little ideas here lol don’t mind me

Skywings:

Each skywing is born with a random amount/extremity of fire, although it can be genetic. Skywings with fire scales have blue fire, and are more saturated than the other dragons, and usually lighter colours

Dragons with desaturated colours naturally have less fire, and dragons that have darker colours like dark reds and oranges also typically have less fire

Skywings have the most fire out of all the dragons

Icewings:

Born with random amounts of ice, can be genetic. Icescales are a thing, these dragons are usually the lightest and have the whitest ice breath

Darker coloured icewings have darker scales

Mudwings:

Have to charge up their fire, can’t do it if their cold

Scales are more resistant to fire, but have the weakest fire out of the tribes

Sandwings

Weaker fire than skywings, but it burns for a longer time and the burns it causes hurt more

Generally heal from burns the quickest and are less hurt by burns

Nightwings:

Regular ass fire, needs to be charged up but takes seconds rather that minutes in the Mudwings case, can do it in the cold, generally weak fire

Seawings:

More resistant to ice breath due to the cold ocean environment they live in

Scales retain water and create a slime like substance, meaning it takes more fire than any other species to actually hurt them

The most venerable tribe to burns, however, takes forever to heal, sometimes doesn’t even heal

Rainwings:

I got nothing womp womp

All pantala tribes are very venerable to fire, having had no exposure for over 5000 years. Their immune systems aren’t adapted to heal burns

Post based off an idea I had while walking home, thinking about the skywing fire post by @teethwitheyes101-blog Lazy sketch so I could get the idea onto a canvas lol

Id imagine that dragons with fire scales would have blue fire, the same shade as their eyes. oh lawd she burning

[scrdurin]

    frerin launched across the valley as fast as his legs could carry him, leaping over stone and upturned earth, battle axe in hand and travel pack slung over his shoulder as he sprinted over rolling green hills, an idyllic slice of paradise faltered only for the great beast at his back. the dragon was monstrous -- deep purple in colour with a head the size of a castle and teeth as thick and as long as he was. he could feel electricity in the air, the rush of breath as the beast sucked in a breath. his hair stood on end, his ears popped and he ran with gritted teeth, springing forward frerin plowed directly into a human man with all of the force that a sprinting dwarf could muster.

together, they hit the ground hard and frerin shouted a string of rapid curses, kicking off the ground as they rolled one over the other before landing in a heap of tangled limbs. frerin jerked upright as best he could and bulked when the earth quaked beneath the pounded steps of the dragon far too close for comfort. the dwarf had no idea where the man had come from, nor could he find it within himself to care, he snatched a handful of his coat and dragged him up as if he intended to haul him across the ground and away from the beast single handed.

     “  dragon  .  .  .  dragon ! ”  frerin shouted, he stumbled up to his feet, released the man’s coat and grabbed his axe in both hands, he raised the axe in front of him and faced the great beast, beautiful in it’s terrible splendor but certainly not a monster that frerin intended to let eat him without a fight.

 the creature roared and frerin roared back.  //  @icescale  ♡‘d  for  a  starter

Hc that a dragonnet that doesn't have enought fire (such as Sky) get sick and most likely die young because their body lack that fire.

The point wasn't to kill Sky in the first place, but more killing my OC that has that condition (icewing with a lack of ice due to her sibling's icescale). So yeah collateral damage, sorry Sky, thought you were dead.

[the-scarlet-vixen]

I love the concept, honestly. But recently I came up with something slightly more interesting than frostscales and frostless twin:

Icescales (literally can freeze stuff into blocks of ice)

And instead of a frostless twin, it's a frostscales (can frost whatever they touch)

Both cancel out firescales, and can touch dragons with firescales and vice versa.

I don't like frostscales much as a concept. I think it's kinda boring ngl. I do wanna know if other people like it, and why or why not?

Hey, so, what do you mean Bumblebee is there in spirit?!?! If Blitzy has icescales how was anyone able to (for lack of a better term?) breed her?!?!?! I think I've dug through all of your TFA WOF AU and I crave more! 👀👀👀👀 I love TFA! I love dragons! We need more dragonformers stuff!!! I absolutely love what you've got so far and you've got me hooked!!!!!!!!!! 💗💓💕 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

I AM VERY THRILLED THAT YOU LOVE IT SO MUCH JRKSKD IT IS MY PRIDE AND JOY

as for the... reproductive issues...

jk jk jk

Blitzwing had been gifted an animus enchanted bracelet when she was a dragonet that gave her normal scales(as well as hiding other attributes that are related to how i adapted the triple changing)

when she climbed Megatron's ranks, and he discovered her unique attribute, he took the bracelet away, forcing her to use her icescales in the war considering how useful they are

when she starts falling for bumblebee, she takes a risk and steals back the bracelet, only wearing it when she goes out to meet with him, and then putting it back in it's hiding spot

it is a very dangerous game, but anything for love, right?

Spicata posting!! (She/any)

Shes the royal guard assigned to Prince Horizon (pictured in the first picture and owned by @authorcallinarts ) because of the Queens trust in her and both of them possessing icescales and could safely interact with each other

She has made enemies out of nearly everyone she has met save for the prince himself, even developing a nasty rivalry with her eldest brother, Krampus (icewing in the second and third image), who she unfortunately sees often in the Kings Arena where the prince has made his home.

New oc of mine

Name: Snowstorm

Age: 8 years old

Gender: cis female

Sexuality: bisexual

Tribe: IceWings

Occupation: Queen

Abilities: icescales (IceWing varient of firescales), stronger then normal frostbreath

A little background~

For the first few years of her life, Snowstorm was largely ignored by her parents and looked down upon by most IceWings. Other then her twin brother (who later mysteriously disappeared one night), many of her tribe treated her like a tiking time bomb, an accident waiting to happen. To everyone’s shock, the queen, Queen Seal and grandmother to Snowstorm, took her under her wing. Seal saw amazing potential in her granddaughter, so she set her up with her most trusted advisor and friend to become Snowstorm’s mentor.

When Snowstorm reached adulthood, Queen Seal met with her in private to confide with her. Seal was a very old and ailing IceWing Queen. She did not want to die of illness or old age, her last wish was to die in battle. So she asked Snowstorm to challange her the next day for the throne. And so she did, she granted her grandmother’s and best friend, her last wish. She made sure the battle was great, to truly honor her grandmother. One of her first acts as the new Queen was to commission the best ice sculptor in the kingdom to make a statue of Queen Seal, to honor her.
