#ig? idk lmfao i. was fully intending on keeping this to the tags.

[glupblorbo]

ok so i tried to put this in tags but. tumblr has a tag limit?? apparently???? so. just gonna repaste it here:

MAN like. this is all devastating ofc but. but what gets me here. it's the “given sigils based on the original chosen classes on record”

imagine. you're an oracle student. you've been one since you were old enough to choose bc that's what your mom did and that's what her mom did and that's what her mom's mom did. and it's not. bad. but seeing The Horrors can definitely take a toll on you y'know?

but then luz comes. and shakes things up. and suddenly you can do oracle magic AND something else.

suddenly you've got options. so you choose healing. bc if you can see someone's end then you'd like to give 'em some healing in the meantime. it's the least you can do, right?

and suddenly. you look forward to school. you're in love with the person you're becoming. you think it's someone a younger you would be proud of, maybe. your parents remind you that you'll need to choose a coven of course but that's still several years out. you have time.

and then coven head adrian graye shows up with the fucking golden guard alongside him.

and suddenly everyone's getting sigils. left and right. people try fighting and you try fighting but there's so many scouts and the golden guard can flashstep behind you in an instant and suddenly everyone's very cowed and in line because the illusion kid who's friends with luz the human has been given a sigil. and it's the type of magic he likes, sure, but it's still. a sigil. it marks him as an adult now. and the shock of it all makes him lose the illusion grasping the school that's been protecting all of you.

suddenly they've got all of you lined up and school records pulled from bump's office (where is bump anyway? and the other teachers? the scouts wouldn't have...done anything right?) and the golden guard has a tall scout with sharply pointed ears pulling up your friend's records from before xe switched out of the healing track to the bard & beastkeeping track and then the golden guard is giving xem a sigil for the healing coven and. wait. that's. not supposed to happen. they switched over so shouldn't they get a choice? but then far too soon it's your turn and you're hyperventilating bc you're about to be locked only to oracle magic forever as the taller scout flips through the pages and says your name and then “oracle was the first” and before you can explain he's lifting a glowing finger and then. it's over. you're in the oracle coven now and there's no going back. and your chest is tight and something wants to come out of your throat but you're not sure if it's a laugh or a sob or an insult or a hex but the golden guard is already waving you off and another scout is pulling you by the shoulder over to the side where your friend sits, staring at nothing and shaking just enough to be noticeable, and you want to do something but by the time you can pull your courage back into your gut they're thanking the students for their cooperation and leaving and a few of the teachers are being taken with them to the conformatorium for trying to help you all escape the emperor's mandate and the airships leave and then there's just a bunch of terrified, exhausted teenagers, and you realize that in the scheme of things, you have always been very very small.

you get home, and you hug your mom, but she doesn't understand why you're so upset—after all, you didn't leave the oracle track completely, so you're better off than some of your friends, right?

you are a caged animal and you walked into the trap willingly. there is nothing you can do about today. and there is nothing you can do when the day of unity arrives and your sigil becomes a very real cage indeed.

Me destroying canon relationships dynamics

More rough sketches part of my late redemption Hunter Au (canon divergent)

Hunter was able to take lead in forcing sigils upon the students and succeeded, now the day of unity stakes are higher. Luckily he isn’t like Adrian and at least provided them the matching sigils to their track…the multi-track students are given sigils based on the original chosen classes on record.

Now they will be affected by the draining spell, Hunter is convinced he did something for the greater good and is proud. This will cause so much conflict in the future.

Connected to this and this

Calling this AU late redemption Au for now and works will be tagged as such

writing out my thoughts on an astronomer/mermaid 0222 au (refer to my insane pepe silva sky/sea symbolism bullshit)

this is just stream of consciousness into the keyboard tbh it's just getting too long to fit on my google slide LMFAO

class a (the big 5) r on a marine research vessel looking for the reason why boats keep getting fucked up in this area despite no known dangerous organisms documented there (but th class e mermaids r there just hidden). gakuhou prob knows theres smth fishy (pun not intended) going on & is sending them on a wild goose chase ig. gakuhou is fully intending sinister bullshit but the big 5 dont rly know the whole of whats going on but they are still assholes.

mae is astronomer who got to tag along for plot reasons but hes focusing on the stars in the region where theyre sailing around instead of the water. mae is prob mistreated on the vessel cuz he got on it thru connections or watever & they dont Ljke him so they like fuck with his research n whatnot cuz it disrupts their own. idk. like they prob throw his files into the water and r like oops haha lol accident sorgy. (not accident not sorry).

umm well i cant decide if this instance would be like the big 5 throwing something off or class e trying to fuck up the boat (to keep ppl away from their home obviously cuz they dont wanna be discovered!!!) but mae falls off and iso saves him (typical mermaid au bullshit) but like mae only sees a flash of isos torso before he swims off OBVIOUSLY cus theyre NOT SUPPOSED TO LET PPL KNOW THEYRE THERE LOL but iso prob saved mae cuz he saw that mae wasnt one of the big 5. like he saw mae was getting mistreated n whatnot n couldnt let mae also be a victim.

regardless of whether it's just mae who falls overboard or if all of them fall their boat isnt fully destroyed and is fine to operate so theyre still there but now mae at least knows theres like. a person or something !?! so he starts to get more interested in the water along with the stars which makes the big 5 Suspicious 🤨 but they dont know the whole story either. then for plot related reasons they finally capture someThing (someOne) (it's Iso) in like some net or some shit n since mae is more interested in the sea now he ends up being the one closest to it n he sees iso there n they look at each other and mae is like Holy shit its that beautiful beast who saved me earlier. and he also has a fucking beautiful koi tail what the fuck. and isos like Hey man whats up lol im kind of in a pickle here. n even tho mae is like awestruck by this beautiful person (?) infront of him n he has so many questions he also knows the big 5 r gonna come asap so he makes the split second decision to fuck up the net on purpose so iso can escape n iso stays around in the water long enough to hear that mae takes the heat for it so that further enforces in isos mind that mae can be trusted u know what i mean.

i dont have any specific plot related ideas beyond this YET but i needed to get it all out before i died, badly. thanks.
