Now I come in here to ask for the spooky scaries (insert lil ghost emoji here) or perhaps fav type of monster?? or monster AUs!
*Insert Goosebumps Theme Song Here*
Welcome welcome! For there are many scaries that plague these thoughts! Like a whole month long of rewatching Scary Godmother Spooktacular and R.L Stein's The Haunting Hour Episodes!!! 0o0///
Also LavenderTowne's Creppydrawstas & FreakyAttractions Creepypastas on YouTube but I more so listen to those in the background while drawing not so scary fanarts ksjvhujhvnrue
I've always been pretty fond of Werewolves in terms of monsters! Dragons and Mothman too!!! I used to love learning about all sorts of monsters back when they used to air episodes of Lost Tapes on TV! Though some of them did scare me enough to only watch certain episodes once lol! I'm more a fan of phycological horror when it comes to monsters though-
As for monster aus qwq You can bet for certain that the werewolf games au have certainly come knocking on our doors once again! (Not that they ever left jkvhghr) That one convo we had some time last year about Kidou possibly turning into a werewolf before his execution has been running nonstop in my mind since August! Like if we'd gone that route for the fic I'm sure everyone would've been turned within a week or so! Then the village would've been a werewolf paradise XD
Also!!! Thinking about how Nosaka & Ichihoshi are doing in the regular au now that they're free! And then there's also thoughts about Physic!Ichihoshi & Fox Spirit!Nosaka and how they've got slightly better lives in this version. Like obviously they still have to watch out for the werewolves but Nosaka keeps taking them out before they can do any real harm ewe/// Joker!Li Hao is like the only one aware that the main threat to the village is Nosaka and not the werewolves ksjhfuevfhksf But Nosaka only really attacks the when his friends are in danger so is he really all that bad here?!
Just a lot of Werewolf Games AU thoughts really. I blame IdV, Among Us, and Town of Salem 2 for these lol
((Last AU for now I promise!!! But what if there was an AU where Rachel was floor master in AOD?! Basically this one is a role swap AU for Zach & Rachel... Just thinking about how everyone was brought together through the AOD Episode 0 manga and yeeeee What if Dr. Danny wasn't obsessed with Rachel's eyes and instead saw her as someone with the potential to join them))
#ozrockbitway#thank you so much for this!#spooky season#be upon ye#i've got way too many thoughts#i just want to rewatch a bunch of old horror based animes#gleipnir#angels of death#higurashi#future diary#but anxiety be ever prevalent this year so I gotta stick with easier to swallow horror#time to find those halloween specials from past cartoons instead#locket talks

What’s the Au about if you’re fine sharing? 👀
I mean— I can !! But without context it sounds confusing ^_^”
It’s a little similar to a swap au, but instead of swapping roles/personalities I’m kinda swapping characters with their communion-counterparts .. so basically I’m giving those silly silouhette guys actual designs for this au HAHAH ..
When I say communion counterpart, I’m referring to a uhh concept in my IDV AU (Bloodline Communion). I’m really shit at explaining things but um to put it brief the Communion(™) is like a place of the subconscious mind, and its made up of a “body” where entities called “manifests” exist. These manifestations are like really twisted versions of people in the real world, theyre basically every negative trait of their original counterpart but characteristically exaggerated.
I feel like if I went on about it for further detail, this would go on forever so— Take it as you will……
Anyways recap. the au is just. If the characters instead swapped places with their communion counterparts and were given proper designs rather than being. Bare.
👍

au wise whats up with either amphorous or lieat? :o I know nothing about lieat so I’m curious
Oh? Well, it comes into three parts for HSR (that being Stellaron Hunters, Penacony, and Amphoreus), so, we'll start with LiEat first. By the way, LiEat is a free game trilogy (that you can also buy on Steam for 2.99), so, if you'd like to, go check it out for yourself. There will be spoilers for both Amphoreus and LiEat Three, so, prepare for that.
LiEat
LiEat in the crossover AU... takes place after the events of LiEat Three, which is the final game in the trilogy.
**(LiEat is a game series that follows a conartist and a lie-eating dragon, the name being the words Lie and Eat mashed together. Therefore... LiEat.)
For the crossover cast, we ended up going with the main characters, Leo (the one who was GATEKEEPING MY POSTS yesterday 🙂↕️🙂↕️) and Efina, as well as two reoccurring side characters and two new characters introduced in LiEat Three, those characters being Neil and Brett (for reoccurring throughout the series) and Iris and Cyril.
Hunter side, it's just Leo, while survivor side, it was Efi, Neil, Brett, Iris and Cyril. I hate Cyril, all my homies hate Cyril. (/j but you'll see why if you play the game)
They're linked together with the Ib crew and the HSR: Amphoreus crew, specifically linked between the friendship of the younger characters of each (those being Ib, Mary, Efina, and Trianne).
Efina is pretty much the oldest sister figure in the group. Even if she's... technically the youngest. lmao.
Right now, the scope of solo LiEat is just Efina getting clowned on by Leo, and everyone calling Leo gay (and being wrong.) for some reason.
Hunter Leo comes in two forms, that being his normal form in LiEat Three (his name is Sid in that game, I'm still going to call him by his LiEat One alias, Leo, though.) and then his lie corrupted form (also known as. Great Big Liar I think??). He swaps between the two forms, depending on the mode. (however, Efi fucking hates GBL. she keeps calling him scary. couldn't tell you why! that's a lie, yes I could.)
We haven't found proper idv character counterparts for everyone, but the ideas we had was:
Archer as Efi, Professor as Neil, and Knight as Cyril. Leo, Brett and Iris are currently unmatched right now.
Me personally, I imagine everyone across the board are A-tier skins.
We also do have the hunter dynamics between the hunters for each crossover set (Leo, Garry, and Mydei), like a fucked up little tea party, but that’s not all that here or there.
The issue is as of right now? They're so new that there isn't anything much to their group lore besides a few things here and there concerning backstory stuff, mostly for how Leo ended up as a hunter. We did a similar thing with Garry, Mydei, and Phainon as well, if you guys are interested in what their deals are, because how does one end up as a crossover hunter?
But, yeah, they're so new that we haven't had the time to fully work out a storyline for them yet, so there isn't much for me to tell you about. Yet.
...
HSR: Project Amphoreus (+ Penacony/Stellaron mention)
As for the HSR: Project Amphoreus... hmm. Well, let me preface this with the existence of Project Penacony and Project Stellaron.
Project Penacony has Aventurine, Topaz (and Numby), Sparkle, and Dr. Ratio. Project Stellaron has Kafka, Firefly, Silverwolf, Blade, and Stelle.
These guys are the first and second installments of the total HSR crossover pool for the crossover AU, but they don't come into the conversation with Project Amphoreus beyond Aventurine and Mydei sharing the fact they're "dual faction" characters, meaning they come as both a hunter and a survivor.
I won't be getting into them in this ask, but if you're interested, well... you know where to find the inbox.
For Amphoreus, the idv character counterparts are:
Part One: Little Girl as Trianne and Hermit as Mydei. (as well as Archer as Survivor Mydei.) Part Two: Coordinator as Anaxa, Antiquarian as Castorice, Doctor as Hyacine, Mechanic as Agalea (the garmentmaker is her bot). Phainon is unmatched as of now, but he is a hunter.
The HSR Amphoreus crew is split up into two parts. Part One contains Trianne and Mydei (as well as Phainon), while Part Two contains Anaxa, Hyacine, Agalea, and Castorice. I'm imagining everyone here is A-tiers across the board as well.
As for HSR: Project Amphoreus, there's part one, and then there's part two. It basically serves to split the cast into two parties based on the original timeline of events.
Now, the following section is more a creative storytelling for the events of the group lore, more or less? Since, a lot of the AU talk is very scenario specific, it's my job in asks like this to bridge one scenario to another one in a way that would most likely make sense to a reader. So, my creative interpretation might be different to hers-
But it's okay because Tae is my wifesband and she loves me very much so I'm sure she doesn't mind if I accidentally fuck up my storytelling. (/j)
Part One follows the story of Trianne and Mydei following the events of the Somnia Devoravit Original Timeline. Basically, they wind up at the manor because of the Dragon Herald, Finality, and the missing Chyrso Heir, Phainon the Deliverer. When they arrive at the manor, Trianne and Mydei are both on the survivor side of the manor.
And, as they travel through the manor, progress through games, and gather information, they meet several other crossover characters. Eventually, they find Phainon... except they find him as a hunter. Erm...... awkward, amiright?
Yeah, things don't go well, and the match ends with Trianne as the solo survivor escaping through the dungeon. However, because Mydei is immortal and therefore incapable of dying by bleeding out and the dungeon only opens with one final survivor left alive, the only foreseeable outcome is that during this match, Mydei became the hunter, therefore counting as two hunters and one survivor, technically meeting the requirement for the dungeon.
So erm... say goodbye to your brother, Trianne!!
"What about Tribbie and Trinnon?" The manor arc takes place after Trianne is disconnected from her siblings, but before her in-game death. This means Tribbie and Trinnon are not in the manor, and they cannot contact Trianne and vice versa.
Between the end of part one and the start of part two, Trianne is on her own, bouncing between different groups of the different crossover skins (but not able to fully be accepted/integrated into them) as she tries to pick up the broken pieces of her manor life and figure out what happened to Mydei and Phainon.
However, this brings in the in-between "Mydei", a nightmare-ish hallucination of Mydei as a hunter, originating from Trianne due to the stress and strain that the match had inflicted on her. This hallucination-turned-physical-manifestation haunts Trianne wherever she goes during the in-between arc.
Shit's fucked for Trianne is what I'm saying!!! Someone get her OUT of there. "Mydei" gets really close to killing Trianne, however...
This is where part two officially starts.
Part two starts with Anaxa and Castorice intercepting (Fake) "Mydei" after getting a tip-off from "a ginger-haired man wearing a flat-top hat" about Trianne's current whereabouts, effectively saving her life. However, because (Fake) "Mydei" shares the same characteristics as the Real Mydei, he can't be killed through normal means. So, uhm. It's time to make a getaway!!! Anaxa would know all about that.
For a while, it's just Cas, Anaxa, and Trianne as they try to figure out what to do about (Fake) "Mydei" and learn what happened to the real Mydei and just overall having the two adults catch up on what Trianne's experienced. However, they eventually are able to regroup with Agalea and Hyacine, and they have to pool their thoughts all together into figuring out how to solve the presented problems.
And, someone (probably Anaxa) determines the best course of action is to find a way to get rid of this (Fake) "Mydei", and this course of action leads them to finding the real Mydei, who is now officially a hunter on the manor's roster. This results in Mydei and Trianne finally reuniting. Yippee!!!
Just ignore the blood on her clothes and what looks like yourself standing behind her with a bloodied blade and it'll. it'll be fine!!! Maybe. I don't know, actually.
Anyways, sibling reunion, let's gooo!!!!!!
And that's kind of where the creative interpretation ends for now. We still have to bridge Phainon's deal to the entire AU setting. We'll get there. Ooooone of these days.
Probably.
Maybe.
Everything beyond this is mostly group cross-posting between the Ib and LiEat groups, as well as the BSD group. Dynamics and ideas and shitposts, mostly.
Well, and the hunter backgrounds like I had mentioned with Leo earlier, but. separate post, this one is already really really long.
...
anyways, that was what's up with Amphoreus and LiEat in the crossover AU as of right now. I hope this was a good enough introduction to it for whoever is reading this.
The crossover AU is so interesting to me, it's so fascinating. I'd love to talk more about it, its so...
Testing the limits of the humane connection and humane consciousness. Ain't that what I do best?

This tag from tag’s blog on his birthday art for this year sums it up best:

(Posuka Demizu New Year 2022 Art)

(Posuka Demizu Fifth Anniversary Art; he is offering you premium Grace Field alcohol-free wine)
It’s like how there’s the other time-honored debate of whether Norman has white hair or the absolute lightest shade of blond. (Though his eye color has remained consistent; there’s also this post by @just-like-playing-tag showing the evolution of Emma’s eyes from a yellowish green to more of an emerald one.)
But if we’re going strictly by chapter cover art, the most recent ones are from the bonus chapters where they both have black/grey eyes:
And it’s the one he’s most commonly seen with.
Interestingly, Identity V gave him a different shade of blue from Norman:

I’ve seen him given every natural eye color in addition to purple at this point, and he can pull all of them off, without question. But with how this never serves as a significant plot point in canon proper, I think one can get away with headcanoning any darker color. As a treat, like I do lol; specifically in the way pan_ahoi frames it in this comic where they typically appear black, but in the right lighting show they’re the deepest shade of violet (translation courtesy of @1000sunnygo)
Makes it more plausible for him to have some variant of them while still not being quite as obvious about their relationship. (Also rambled a bit about this here but I know you’ve recently seen it lol)
Below the cut are a few additional images for reference, including some “is it white hair or is it blond?” Normans:
(Chapter 172 Cover Art)
(Posuka Demizu Halloween 2021 Art)
(Special illustration celebrating the fourth anniversary)
(The Fourth Light Novel - Films of Memories)
(Art World Book; no one can beat Norman’s brow game)

Papa III: 41, 42
Smiley Face idv: 25, 37
Acrobat idv: 13, 19
Blah blah blah i don't self insert i oc insert because I'm not cringe. I am. I'm cringe. Damn you woman and your pier pressuring and such
Papa Emeritus III
41. Your S/I has the flu! How do they handle the illness; do they try or hide it? Does your F/O take care of them, or do they heed your S/I’s advice to avoid contact so they don’t get sick too? What if your F/O was the one who was sick?
If Amara is sick shes not gonna hide it really. It depends how bad it is if it stops her from doing her tasks or not. I think Papa would be quite useless when it comes to helping though. Most he knows how to do in his own is bring you medicine and a glass of water. Amara hates being touched when shes sick at all so she would probably tell him just to go anyways. I don't doubt he'd try his best to be a help to her when she needs him he just really doesn't know what to do.
On the other hand shes a worrier. If hes sick she does whatever she can to make him more comfortable while he gets through it. She also hates being sick herself so physical comforts are out the door, if he wants them he better be ready whine about it. Regularly checks in on him to see what he might need.
42. How does your S/I’s sense of style compare to your F/O’s? Do they look perfectly coordinated when they go out together, or are they a walking fashion faux pas?
I think they match perfectly in a rich man and his much younger wife kinda way. They don't exactly coordinate outside of maybe color but you see them together and it just fits. They're a good looking couple.
Smiley Face IDV
25. ROLE REVERSAL AU for your S/I and F/O, so they swap places in their stories! DISCUSS.
That's just Weeping Clown. Just little Joker lanky boy throw him over your shoulder sad baby boy kiss him on the forehead hes so small feed him look at him he needs food! Sad "unrequited" love boy.
Sydney on the other hand... hmm. Driven to insanity buy stifling expectations, she would have murdered her parents and ran away. She would wander around for a long time trying to experience the world she was kept away from but sadly none of it was enough to satisfy her mind. Then the letter comes, and she finds herself a monster in this manor playing and endless death game that is admittedly quite satisfying to play. She likes the chase and hunt and dragging the players into the rocket chair and watching them blast off into oblivion over and over again. She can close the hatch on survivors and temporarily break cyphers.
She is attracted to the darkness in him. Hes forgotten something she can tell, and she wants to dig it out of his mind. I don't think he cares for her much at all.
37. How publicly open are your S/I and F/O about their relationship? Do they try to keep it secret for a while, or do they confess undying love for each other right in front of all their friends?
Neither of them has anyone to tell really. Smiley has no friends among the hunters, and none of the people he knew before in the circus have any interest in revisiting that. And Syd in this scenario wouldn't get along well with the other survivors so they really only have each other. They don't hide it once they're together though. Most people knew about what they got up to even before that but didn't really say anything on the matter and just kinda let them be. People note that he picks on others a lot less in general now though.
The Acrobat (Mike Morton)
13. What was the FIRST time your S/I ever saw your F/O? Was it the same time they met, or did they notice them somewhere else before they ever knew their name or spoke to them for the first time?
The first time she sees him is probably at some point when she enters the manor. Shes rushing past everyone trying to get out so she wouldn't have noticed him at all despite him being so... colorful. Just a face in the crowd of people gathered around to meet their new teammate. They officially meet in a match though a few weeks later after she rescues him and they manage an escape together. Friendship kicks off easy after that, he just has a knack for making people smile.
19. Does your S/I ever talk in their sleep? What's something they said that your F/O will never forget?
Nope, shes never talked in her sleep before. He has though, hes got some horrible things wound up in that pretty head of his. Oh the nightmares this man has.
But! She does tell him at some point about her life back before running away. Feeling constantly trapped and smothered in a lifeless colorless place where her parents controlled her every move. He didn't see why that was so bad for a while, sounded like things Bernard did, but Bernard just wanted him to be the best he could be.
"So did my parents." She would say.

I like the implication that, in what is basically Gearbox's own Bl3 AU, Tyreen respects Amara more than she respects her own twin brother. Like. For some reason Tyreen suddenly values the loyalty of a single cultist (those things she eats and views as disposable) more than gaining another set of Siren powers and ascending further to Godhood. It's really funny to me
She absorbs her brother and steals Lilith's powers and attempts to absorb the Destroyer in order to become a God, but no she draws the line at Amara because Amara had [checks notes] "loyalty and usefulness on the battlefield". Sorry, didn't realize those were things Tyreen values given she bleeds a shitton of her loyal battle forces dry like she's sucking down smoothies, but yeah OK.
Like. I KNOW. That this is just for the new body customizations. I GET IT. I know they needed to write up SOMETHING. but God damn it this made me laugh so hard like. They did the main story again. They did it fuckin AGAIN and they did it WORSE.
Because yeah in the actual game Amara is on our team and we can just kinda half hand-wave away the twins not going for her powers as a sort of "oh they never saw an opportunity they didn't wanna risk their plans" (totally ignoring Jakobs Manor with Troy because if you play as Amara, uh, Troy's got some self esteem issues picking monologuing over obtaining more siren powers given we know he can absorb the people in his phaselock cuz he does it to Tyreen) but now AMARA IS LITERALLY IN THE CULT, ON THEIR TEAM. If her loyalty is that goddamn notable that she becomes a holy avatar of Tyreen maybe just be like "hey, wanna do something cool for ur God Queen? Lemme have your powers to get to the Great Vault and you'll stand next to me when I open it". Boom loyal cultist has been SUCKERED into giving up her powers FOR FREE. And if Amara would've been like "oh hell no" and left after Tyreen asked for her powers why is Amara okay with Tyreen and Troy stealing OTHER Sirens powers. Not to mention that Tyreen would not even need to ask for the powers, just sneak up behind Amara n take them, it's not like she'd be on guard 24/7 because she joined the CoV OF HER OWN VOLITION.
But nah we just uh let her keep her powers because um. She's loyal and strong. Like all of our other cultists. Yeahhhh. LMAO. Ah God. It's so bad. The others aren't great either (Zane swaps from trying to hide in the CoV to being a bandit leader solely because his relatives were bandit leaders like can I get a yikes from all my siblings with shitty relatives), but Amara's really got to me as I was thinking it through.
The other 3 don't need 'divine intervention' from the twins when they join the cult so they can slip under their radar, but Amara definitely fucking does as a God damn SIREN and that's where it went wrong. Like, again, I know it's just so we can have these new cosmetics and shouldn't be taken that seriously but ahhhhh it's so laughable fhhagshdkdhhfk like yeah you'll be our... Uh... holy... avatar..? Yeah sure that. You'll survive if you stay with us, Siren [wink wink]
They could've just said something like 'the twins are letting Amara keep her powers for now to lull her into a false sense of security until they need/yoink them later' or some shit and idve been like oh sick boom case closed this cosmetic is just from before they take them. But instead they say Tyreen allows Amara to keep her powers because she's loyal and good at fighting. Bitch you'd be good at fighting too if you took Amara's powers and added them to your own set.
In fact now I'm just disappointed we never heard of Tyreen or Troy when they had their powers going down with the masses of cultists to fight. No vlog footage of them livestreaming combat from their perspective like Maya does in a video call from Athenas.
It kinda makes them seem like they can't do anything by themselves (all we see them do is sneakily steal vault monsters after we do all the hard work, kill Maya completely by accident and intimidate a 12 year old, surprise attack us but only to monologue and get shot by an old man they can't even catch, then sneakily yoink Tannis. I guess they also steal Lilith's powers at the start of the game but that's... Well it's Lilith, the queen of shitty decisions who 100% could have teleported with the Vault Map instead of fighting, and the twins still had the element of surprise on their side to get the upper hand) which really undermines the whole thing they're trying to build up with Sirens being stupid powerful and them being the Main Villains of a shooter video game.
At least with Jack we were told up front that he was a coward and wouldn't fight fair or directly if he could help it by angel herself. The start of the game he tries to blow us up on a train with a cocky sign, not fight us head on. Meanwhile the twins are all like "nooo we're unkillable gods" and everyone we meet is like "noooo they're terrifying cult leaders" and they go after Lilith to take her powers by surprising her with Troy being a Siren (?) and then we don't ever see them actually, really FIGHTING again until their final boss fights where we kill them. Making it come across like they probably only ever got lucky in combat instead of using their skill sets.
They don't even have to be on the battlefield when the VHs are fighting, but imagine calling ahead to another planet and instead of seeing yet another bunch of nameless cultists killing people, you saw Tyreen and Troy doing their own thing with their Siren abilities while the CoV took care of stragglers. Literally anything to make them feel intimidating instead of noise machines. Like damn. Imagine if they showed Troy doing his orb sword rock attacks in-game to kill a bunch of civilians with guns before we fought him. Or wait was him actually getting that power cut along with the explanation for the Vault of the Architects 😩
Idk I'd like to imagine instead of their shitty meme videos that play on repeat on eden-6 even though they're both dead god damn it turn the fucking videos OFF there are compilations of kills by Tyreen having both Phaseleech and Phasewalk on the battlefield. Troy with Phaselock executing people with his giant sword while cultists cheer him on while swarming other people. Let them have mlg pro sound effects and editing and shitty dubstep if you must BUT AT LEAST WE'D HAVE REASON TO BE LIKE "oh shit, we're about to fight these guys how will we survive against those attacks" instead of "oh, finally, I get to shut them the hell up". It'd be terrifying, but so cool to see and would really build up the boss fights at the end of the game in general. Especially Tyreen's, seeing all her sweet Abilities and combos, teleporting behind people and insta killing them anime style, maybe gaining new ones by combining Phaseleech and Phasewalk together into some twisted amalgamation of powers. Wow. That'd be great.
[remembers the disappointment of Tyreen the Destroyer and her not even absorbing thrown grenades to kill us with them as she previously showed she was 100% capable of that] sigh. [wipes it from his memories] like it's so sad Tyreen just spontaneously combusts at the end of Bl3, imagine the awesomeness of fighting a Siren with 2 sets of siren powers at once who then, out of desperation in the final phase of her fight, absorbs a space abomination and becomes one herself because she's not giving up her dream that easily. Wow.
I'm rambling now lol. This whole "Amara is definitely still a Siren but don't think about it" situation just makes me laugh and I wanted to talk about it because it's borderlands why else. Just imagining Amara showing up immediately after Tyreen takes Lilith's powers and Tyreen going like "yup not taking those powers she's chill I like her" and then turning around and absorbing her brother instead is just. Comedic gold.
#No but fr bro WHAT#Tyreen would have sniped those powers as soon as they appeared and she had a clean shot#She `fights` Lilith for hers and it was more of a beat down but she GOES FOR THEM *knowing* that Lilith was the Firehawk (strong)#Imagine if Amara joined the cult and was completely chill around Tyreen she'd go for those powers in an instant like. HELLO#Godhood is calling my good b!tch!!!#It took me 2 days to read this because I genuinely dislike these customizations solely bc the VHs as characters would NEVER#I can see them not becoming VHs#Understandable. But joining the CoV? Nah Im drawing the gatdam line#Borderlands#Borderlands 3#Cruddy rambles
