hey miners and crafters 🗣️ tomorrow evening i will post the final chapter of ‘from eden’

writing this story has been an amazing journey, and it ain’t over yet. i’ve got plenty of future oneshots planned for the HTP au, which will surely not turn into elaborate multi-chapter projects. surely. my next goal is to get the fic (and all my other mcyt stuff) uploaded to A03 so y’all can keep track more easily 😂

howEVER, i’m about to start my final year of vet school, which means nonstop clinical rotations AND my board exam, so i can’t promise when that will come. all i can say is i’ll continue to write as long as i’m inspired, same as mel will continue to make art, and we’ll still reply to asks and tags as we receive them. so it may be slow(er) going, but there’s still lots to look forward to ✌️

(P.S. y’all might wanna make sure you’ve got plenty of time when u sit down to read it. this one is a doozy.)

My brain: What if we mix multiple people’s Hyrule Warriors AUs together?

Me: Say no more

Three HW AUs!

Imprisoning War & Golden Mercy by me

Close ups and thoughts under the cut!

I think Power is good with kids and doesn’t know it, and he wants to look out especially for Mask because he’s so young and in this mess. Mask loves playing with Power’s earrings, so he never takes them off ❤️

Tune’s big brother senses are tingling. For all of them, really, even if he doesn’t know Mask and Power’s stories quite like he knows Warriors.

Considering Midna in Smiles’ AU has to contend with people trying to hurt her kid because he’s half Hylian, I’m pretty sure she’d relate to Impa’s plight and try to be supportive of her ❤️

Poor Impa and her baby boy, it’s all so complicated 😭

Power trying to figure out how the frick Impa got together with a lizard and made a normal looking child, and trying to figure out how a weird imp got together with a Hylian is giving me life 🤣🤣🤣

Power is good with kids and I think he could have fun with Kori 🥹 Also free therapy for Power lol

Seeing how Warriors is deeply hurt by parents who seemingly didn’t want him might touch a nerve with Power, who is terrified to even acknowledge he has a child given his circumstances. Also he carries guilt for leaving his world to investigate the strange dark portals while his wife was in labor. And, well, he already has issues.

Ganondorf with the full Triforce and thousands of years to marinate in losing his family would 100% use it to secure his kid and keep him “safe” by his definition… mainly by brainwashing him until he can destroy Hyrule and actually talk to him.

I've seen a few things where Rise Mikey's mystic weapon was possessed by a demon.

Now imagine he befriends this demon which is part of why he gets so good with his weapon. None of his brothers know because they never really think to ask, and Mikey doesn't want to bring it up because he thinks they'll take his weapon away if they realize he's communing with demons.

Anyway, the fight with Shredder happens and his weapon gets shattered. The demon is free, but it doesn't really have anywhere to go in the human world and Mikey doesn't want to say goodbye so he offers the demon to possess him. It does.

It's a mutual relationship and Popcorn (Mikey named the demon because he couldn't pronounce its real name) really doesn't come out except when they're alone. He still doesn't tell his brothers. The first time his family meets Popcorn is when they're losing a battle pretty badly and Mikey knows it's the only way to save the day.

His brothers are absolutely flabbergasted when Mikey shouts "Popcorn!" and just bursts into flame. And then proceeds to curbstomp the villain.

I could be working on mermay or chapter drafts BUT I could also make memes of the TSaB gang because I love them dearly

(Also any excuse to bring up Dan Vs, my beloved show how I miss you)

Tw implied intimacy

This is defo something that Jing likes about Azure. The purring.

They couldn’t have pets because when Nezha was younger he would terrorize ize them. Ie the koi fish pond incident.

Nezha in the distance: “Those fuckers had it out for me I’m telling you!

AHEM! So yeah, no oets, meaning Jing likely never had a cat. So him discovering azures purring…

Jing, laying atop azure: “???…What the…?”

Azure, cuddling Jing: (Purring intensifies)

Jing, starry eyed: “oh.”

It’s something that would bring Jing great comfort, (since you know how cats purring can reduce stress?) and now, post s5, if Jing was feeling particularly stressed or overwhelmed he would Climb in azures lap and just listen to him purr to calm himself down.

Azure loves the cuddles, and is happy to help his Kitten out when he’s feeling down.

MASTER OF WORLD BUILDING AND CHARACTER DESIGN

[discordiansamba]

honestly just rambling a bit more about magic within the demon AU, because why not, it's fun.

I think magic is something that all humans can fundamentally learn to use, it's just not commonly spoken of. There's a lot of information control going on to prevent the abuse of magic and demons, to the point where most people just assume they're stuff out of fantasy novels that don't exist in reality. Most magical knowledge is passed through family lines, typically in the hands of exorcists, but people can learn about it elsewhere. It used to be a lot more common in the past, but in the modern era it's definitely a deliberately lost art.

Shiro was trained as an exorcist from a young age, but it was never the right fit for him. He always dreamed of the stars and space instead, so his family let him go. He still knows several basic spells, mostly for protection and defense, and has basic knowledge of how to exorcise a demon and how to summon a familiar. He has never done the latter, since he didn't see any reason to since he wasn't planning on becoming an exorcist.

Ironically, that same knowledge comes in handy during his time in the arena as Champion.

Demons are creatures of pure magic, and in a way, I'd say that their most apt comparison is actually the rift creatures. They are just a more advanced form of them that have evolved alongside the creatures of their planet into what they currently are today. They can take on many forms, though in the modern era most of them prefer to take on a humanoid shape, though not all. More powerful demons can create corporal forms all on their own, others need to 'borrow' theirs from other beings.

Because they're creatures of magic, most demons spawn fully formed. The few who don't are usually half-demons, rare but they do occasionally happen. Half-demons usually have flesh and blood bodies, but their souls are the same composition as a normal demon's. They have a finite (if long) lifespan, and are the only times demons ever serve as a 'parent'.

Which means that to other demons, eighteen year old Keith is literally a baby to them. But since demons have no real concept of 'babies' they don't treat him like one. He's more like a fun novelty.

Keith, despite having a large part of himself be made up of literal magic, is fundamentally bad at it. This is because his magic is a literal blend of demonic and Galran, resulting in him being good at neither. It also nullifies his own demonic energy, making him virtually undetectable and allows him to completely pass as a human aside from an odd allergy to silver.

ANOTHER GODDAMN TIMEBOMB TANGLED AU HCs BEcause why not...

Idk if ive wrote this in one of my Tangled AU HCs tho but regardless...

Look look, listen-- this is just a headcanon for this AU. I know that Vi and Powder's parents fought at the bridge, and it wasn't explicitly said they were close to Vander (muchless Silco). So with all that said, if you're gonna be mad that I used their mother as a love interest for Vander and Silco and that this is inaccurate, then do not read lmao.

When Vander and Silco were young, theyre fighting over a young woman lmao

The woman is close to the two since shes part of the vigilante group that want to fight for Zaun, so they know her very well.

But it turns out she was already engaged to someone else, and few years later, she had a daughter named Vi 🥲

After hearing all this, Silco and Vander tried to forget their little fight and focused on making Zaun independent (that is until they fought again about how to run the city and Vander won over- Silco got the nasty eye)

When the lady's husband died from the war at the bridge, Vander offered to help her out as a stand in uncle for Vi and her soon to be sibling.

So when the woman fell ill all while pregnant with her 2nd child, she asked Vander to take care of her children if she ever passed away.

Silco on the other hand was bitter from his and Vander's fight. Not only that, he despised the fact that Vander gets to be close to his unrequited love all while he has to suffer alone. He soon managed to form a group dedicated to idealistic future for zaun where he gets to rule over it with the use of shimmer, provided by Singed (who agreed bc he is interested in testing humans)

So when Silco heard that the lady he once fell in love with got ill, it was his chance to introduce her to shimmer. He convinced her it was medicine, and overtime she took it regularly. Turns out it did ease the pain but after effects would put her in dire situation.

The Lady didnt know about the quarrel between Vander and Silco, so she didnt shoo away Silco when he approached her with "medicine"

Meanwhile, Vander was oblivious on whats going on at first bc he was busy protecting the citizens from abusive enforcers. It was too late when The Lady was on her last breath while struggling to give birth to Powder

He did what he was told and took in the daughters, but it wasnt long until Silco and his henchmen raided their home and stole Powder.

Funfact: Silco doesn't like Vi because she looks like her later father (terms of hair and eye shape), while Powder/Jinx is his favorite because she resembles a lot like her mother. Thats also the reason why Silco locked her up to keep her safe (and he knows for sure whatever illness her mother has, she might inherit it).

Though ofc he's still ever so distant to Jinx and neglectful of her feelings because she's another man's daughter and that alone tore him. (Look, he really fell for the lady, this was a huge slap to his face 🙃)

Bonus slap was when the lady chose Vander over him to take care of her children bc she trusts him more than anyone else

Another fact: Silco forbid Jinx to wear her hair up in braids because it'll remind him too much of the lady 💀 (her late mother wears her hair in braids, its a signature look for her ✨️)

Getting closer, getting really close now I swear (Patreon)

[azzayofchaos]

your worldbuilding for your dreamingverse au is so good i wish i knew everything about the world you're making. i genuinely could read about it for HOURS

Oh that is so sweet! @solar-cycle And who am I to deny your curiosity (I certainly am happy to rant about Dreamingverse)!

MINECRAFT SPECULATIVE LORE?

(Sorry about the lack of image, I was too excited to post and didn’t have any ideas jump out at me for what to draw… next post maybe lol)

Here’s the fundamentals of the Dreamingverse au:

There was, once, two universes. The first, the one you might be able to imagine, was made of matter, of time and space, and was inhabited by advanced civilizations. The other was pure sapience, a sprawling neuronic network that dreamed in its own pathways. They call it the End Before the Beginning, the cataclysmic collision of universes that split and fragmented and recrystallized into a single many faceted prism. And in the wake of this cataclysm, the civilizations of before collapsed. It wasn’t an immediate thing, though, but a slow implosion driven out of fear and competition over resources. How were people not meant to be afraid, when the dead were suddenly granted a second waking and the world they knew was ripped apart at the seams? When being born of pure thought, the manifestations of death, destruction, and oblivion were made to walk among them? Humanity downfall was eventually to war and its own nuclear power, and thus began the era of oblivion.

The era of oblivion was marked by the absence of life and the settling of the earth. The newly reborn [universe] was irradiated and barren, made of fractured pockets of tribes and civilizations relearning how to live in their world and hanging on to their lives with white knuckles. If nothing else, this extreme of living incentivized the rapid evolution of genetics, leading to offshoot species in the descendant of humanity, Piglins, Witches, Endr, and more, among them. These offshoots are widely known as “Hybrids” granted by the universe the qualities of species better suited to their extreme environments.

It is then the Era of Growth and Decay. The plants, as with the undead, are given a sentience of their own, mutated and lively, they are the first to begin recovering from the End, and with them, the deities of these concepts too. Among these plants, Creepers, long, slow-moving creatures of explosive spores, Sculk, Mycelium, Glares, and the Nylium of the Neth.

And in the wake of the plants, the Era of Beasts follow, where animals and their corresponding deities begin to grow bold and awake.

Following at last is the rebirth of civilization. It’s the Neath that takes off first, the early bastions of the Piglin gathering culture and resource in order to begin exploring and inventing, the overworld soon following. And here also, is where the Creators truly emerge. They had existed before in some capacity, sapient beings woven more deeply into the fabric of the universe, able to catch the flitting dreams of the universe and spin it into their own make. Beings with the ability to Construct and Destroy at a scale no Animate could match even with a lifetime of magical and alchemic training. They were revered and despised in often equal measures.

—

Which brings us to the basics of Sapient classifications. To be clear, these lines are not hard or certain, but rather a general categorization.

There are the Animates of course: NPCs essentially (though that feels dismissive) the bulk of the population, living limited lifespans and with little access to magics.

These rest are Creators, broadly speaking:

…

The so called “Players,” generally the children of other Creators, of Animates, or Animates themselves given the powers of Construction and Destruction later in life in one way or another. They tend to be more humanoid, and generally include undead Creators. For along time, they were really the only group of Creator easily accepted by the general population as they were less other.

Then there are the Fae, objects, plants, or animals that are given the gifts of the universe and higher consciousness alongside it.

And then the Constructs; Places awakened and given thought and the capacity to change and move. Often considered god-like in their own right.

And the Deities. Gods sometimes. Beings made of pure thought, concepts personified.

—

Civilization marched onwards, and Creators did not often die. Empires rose, fell, rose again, and over the course of many great wars and eras of peace —from the War With Heaven, to the Rapture of Empires, to Antarctic’s Conquest— the Universe slowly settled into its Dream and its people into their own.

Ask me about:

- the structure of the universe and the layout of its dimensions…

- Mechanics, this may be bundled in with the structural stuff…

- Character, lore, and series head-cannons (I may or may not have them yet!)

- The Deities

- The Remnants 0.0

- Anything really, maybe I’ll do some art :3

I am now imagining that back when Optimus first got back from the Orion arc and during the start of the first battle with Megatron since then, Ratchet instantly just went "aaaand I forgot about that, of course that's back."

Oh this hit him the second after Megatron had done his usual half-flirt and Ratty heard exactly the shift in Optimus's voice as Oppy proceeded to double down and throw a flirtatious remark right back.

MY CAP'N 3 IS FINALLY FINISHED! Took me months lol.

And I love her. All my N.S.S members take place in my Splatoon AU Tartagrizz Calamity. I'm still working on it though.

[octoooo]

It’s finally time for Magical Girl au yaaay! I’ve wanted to make one since I started watching Sailor Moon (& rewatched Magica Madoka) a couple months ago 🐙

I use the term Magical Girl loosely, but it doesn’t mean everyone has a skirt & highlighter color palette. Really it only means you get a cool outfit transformation & magic for fighting demons.

The breathing styles are like different forms of magical girls. Different divisions that Magical Girls train under I should say. (Aka if canon Slayer corps cared more about having strong highly trained members from the start instead of the final arc). The most popular/prevalent Breathing Styles have their own division (which is why Insect or Love doesn’t have one, since those were created recently and used only by one person)

There’s a bigger emphasis on teamwork (because that’s usually how the protagonists overpowers enemies that would definitely kill them otherwise) so just about every mission no matter your rank is with at least one other Slayer.

I also use “Division Leader” & “Hashira” often but don’t get them mixed up. Out of the Hashira, only about 4-5 have led their own divisions.

All Division Leaders are Hashira, but not all Hashira are Division Leaders if that makes sense.

Division Leader’s Estates are for housing (temporarily) and training of the lower ranks of their breathing style.

The non-Division Leader Hashira don’t have personal Estates. But because teamwork & friendship is important, they all share one Estate. Its the size of an average personal Estate, just split between the rest of the Hashira. It’s big enough for them to live comfortably without overcrowding each other

Out of the non-division leaders, Mitsuri, Uzui, Muichiro and Obanai share that estate. Shinobu stays with Kanae in the Butterfly Estate.

(The Kakushi are same as in canon)

Main divisions:

Magical Water Division, led by Giyuu & Sabito

Magical Wind Division, led by Sanemi

Magical Stone Division, led by Gyomei

Magical Flame Division, led by Kyojuro

Magical Flower Division, led by Kanae (yes she’s alive)

I know that Thunder Breathing was one of the original five, but I can’t find a suitable Leader or purpose for their Division. Zenitsu isn’t near powerful enough, Jigoro retired before the era of our current hashira. So I replaced their division slot with Flower because Kanae <3

As far as weapons go;

Every magical slayer has a sword and learns their respective breathing style, and each one of them has a specific ability/magic set.

I’m Introducing magic as a stand-in for the Pretty Guardians’ specialized attacks. (Like how Sailor Moon has ‘Moon Spiral Heart Attack’ that’s specialized to her usage only.)

In the au, Everyone has a Sword and their Breathing Style, but everyone’s magic abilities are different.

Sometimes you just need that extra slap to take out demons. This would definitely help when swords break mid fight. While magic alone isn’t enough to take out a demon, it can weaken them which could give slayers time to call for backup or retreat.

Also you pretty much sell your soul to become a Slayer

Hi!!!! Not to be pushy or anything but I was wondering if you know when you’ll post the last chapter of the HMC au? I start chomping my fingers every time I think of it! I hope you’ve finished moving alright and are now settling in nicely! 😽

Hullo! Oh no your poor fingers XD To be honest I’m not entirely sure, but I can say I’m making progress on it again! While I was moving I was too stressed to get into the right headspace for it, and once we reached the new place things kept breaking and the stress became rather extended, but I’m finally getting to the point where I can write more peaceful things!

That said, it is a bit dependent on whether things stay calmer 😅 But I believe I might be able to finish it in the next month or so? Not a guarantee I’m afraid, but fingers crossed!
