¿Como se conocieron y posteriormente enamoraron tu Yellow Cat y tu Leshy de Swap au y en el normal?

I used a Translator and I'm assuming you're asking about how Leshy and Theon met in both my Swap and Main AU

For my Swap AU, I'm still not 100% sure. I'm also gonna mention some stuff that I previously mentioned: Leshy was a follower of the Bishop of Chaos and helped hunting down the Cats. One day he gets split up from the other cultists, causing him to get lost in the Darkwoods. While being lost, he meets Theon who is lost as well. They're hiding their face under a robe, so Leshy doesn't realize they're a Cat.

Trying to navigate your way through the Bishops Biomes is hard and dangerous without a Blessed Map, so it takes a lot of time to get back without one. They start bonding while trying to survive and find their way back to civilization. As soon as Leshy finds out they're a Cat, he gets conflicting feelings, because his whole life he was taught to do just as the Bishops say, but he doesn't want to kill Theon after they got along so well and he pretty much wouldn't have survived without them.

For my main AU it's very similar to the Kitchen Nightmare Animation and I also tied it together with an old comic I made where Leshy meets one of his Ex-Disciples:

Theon saw Leshy getting mocked by one of his still alive Ex-Disciples. They aren't sure what happened previously, but they try to reassure and cheer him up with a Camellia.

At that time, they didn't know that Leshy was the God of Chaos, afterall they were born years after his defeat. Theon hangs out with him for a while, wanting him to feel welcome as well as enjoying his crazy side. Since there's still followers who remember the Bishops (either because they have been resurrected or they wear skull necklaces) Theon does eventually find out who he is. It makes them become awkward around Leshy and they start avoiding him. Not sure how to continue it from here, but in the "Future of the new Faith" arc, they start hanging out again :>

pjo au where shortly after the war nico dies and turns into a rather obscure deity. later, young demigods start showing up alone at camp borders. when asked who brought them, they always talk about a pretty person with wings on their head and back, covering a face that wore a black crown. time passes, and a young, tiny child of Hekate, maybe 4, appears. when asked, the child says how there was this boy with wings over his face that brought her, and that the boy tells the child that his name is nico before kissing her head and leaving. shit hits the roof.

yo!

First of all, I love your art and the half-brothers AU is Absolutely Phenomenal

Second of all, I understand if you're still kind of on break from it so take this question at your own pace. Or don't answer it at all. You don't owe me anything.

And thirdly, I'm curious how book 2 might play out in the half-brothers au. Book Alvin is pretty fixated on Grimbeard the Ghastly's heir ("an heir for a hand", and all that). Would he be able to identify Younger Hiccup as Grimbeard's heir, or would he just kind of figure since there are two Hiccups who are both descendants of Grimbeard (and who both have a dragon named "Toothless") he should kill them both just to be safe? (and in that case, how would he end up with a vendetta against Younger Hiccup specifically?)

at any rate, thank you for reading and I hope you have an awesome day!

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I was having a hard time for a while, but I'm feeling much better recently <3 This is an excellent ask!!

Stoick being the connecting figure between Elder and Younger, that does indeed make them both candidates to be Grimbeard's heir! (Same goes for Snotlout and Adelaide, who are also part Chucklehead's line through Baggybum the Beerbelly!)

As Stoick's firstborn and the official heir to Berk, Alvin has his eyes set on Elder in the beginning as The Guy he needs to Eliminate, and since Snotlout is the one who will become heir to Berk if Elder dies, Minicup is barely even on the table. The idea that it's actually Minicup who is his proper rival isn't even considered until they end up in the underwater cavern together and Baby Tooth is the one who sniffs out Grimbeard's real treasure.

The events of How to be a Pirate carry out as usual, with Snotlout finding the chest, though neither brother gets the chance to declare themselves heir when Alvin asks. Minicup and Little Fish end up in Grimbeard's cavern with Alvin, where Alvin comes to the conclusion that this Hiccup is the one who's going to prove a problem to him.

In the stories that come after, Elder is more of an afterthought, and Alvin will only think to get rid of him if he starts asserting his place in the Arm's Race for the Crown. (Same goes for the Jorgensens!)

Elder doesn't even want to be heir of Berk, let alone Grimbeard! Younger doesn't exactly have a choice in the matter since Fate Itself is the one dumping Lost Things into his hands 😔 As long as Elder doesn't start gunning to be king, Alvin will leave him alone.

For the time being.

[salmontooth]

Sargon was a weapon. And like a weapon, he had been forged by searing flames and unbearable heat; his hardships made him a more formidable warrior. This also meant, like a weapon, he knew he was only useful if he could fight and defend. Weapons that broke were smelted back into molten metal, or were placed on display and forgot about in some nobleman’s house, gathering dust as it had gathered kills during its prime.

            Sargon was a broken weapon.

A new AU that I’ve been torturing @kaihoney and @gryffintheparrotcat with. It’s called “More than a weapon” AU! Read more for context:

Spoilers underneath!

GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF INJURY

“Sargon would be lying if he’d said he knew what attack Vahram had thrown at him caused it, but whatever had happened, it left his arm a mangled mess, barely even recognizable as human.

Ghassan had stressed how Artaban and Neith did everything they could, but the Wak Wak tree wasn’t healing it completely. Apparently, there is only so much the Wak Wak tree could heal. By the time they had realized the tree wasn’t healing that particular injury, necrosis had begun to take hold, and it left them with no choice but to amputate the arm. Despite not being able to heal the initial injury, that damn tree was able to heal the worst of the amputation itself. However, like the stab wound through his shoulder, it didn’t heal fully and Sargon could feel the uncomfortable pull of stitches when he moved his arm back down.”

A little snippet from the fic I’m writing for this AU! I’m hoping I caught the primal horror and awful realization on Sargon’s face. I was speaking with the other squirrels and had agreed that Sargon primarily uses his right hand (fighting doesn’t count since he dual wields).

I have more planned for this AU. It’s full of hurt/comfort, whump, etc. My poor boy is really in for it

The Lost Crown: A Tale of Rebellious Royalty. (MHA Fantasy Au x reader)

Drabble, Characters are 18+

Synopsis: Y/n gets to know the two strangers better and their morals.

Word count: 1,318

Includes/mentioned: Shigaraki, Bakugo, Kirishima, & Denki

Key: (T:) - Translation, (e/c) - eye colour, (s/c) - skin colour, (h/c) - hair colour, (Y/n) - Your name, (F/n) - Fake name.

Warning: Angst, language, & injuries.

⚔︎- Chapter Three: Flames at Noon-

Y/n awoke to the rumbling of their stomach. They rolled over, expecting to find the extravagant breakfast tray. Instead, their e/c eyes were met with those of Katsuki's. He was sitting on the ground, back leaning up against a tree. This made Y/n sit up.

"Tch! Nothing to be scared of dumbass." He started, "Oh and just so you know. The boars went over all the tracks. So, you are safe here with shitty scales and me."

"Shitty scales?" Y/n mummers, slightly confused.

"Aye, him," Katsuki spoke nodding his head towards Ejiro, who was lifting the cooked meat of boar off the spit of the fire. 

Katsuki gave a lazy stretch, much like a cat, before getting up and walking towards Ejiro. Y/n watched with curiosity as the two interacted with one another. Questions swirled around her mind; "Was Katsuki the fire breather they had seen at the party? Did he happen to see her sneak out? Why were these two willing to risk Shigaraki's wrath by helping them?

Y/n was snapped out of their thoughts when Ejiro waved his hand in front of their face.

"Hey! I bet you are starving, come join us!" He chirped, motioning to where Katsuki was already sitting and eating.

"O-oh, thank you," Y/n spoke quietly. They followed him towards the fire and sat hesitantly on a tree stump.

"Oi dumbass, what's your name and your deal?" Katsuki barked, the moment they sat down.

"Katsuki! Really?" Ejiro declared sounding unimpressed and offended on Y/n's behalf. 

"What? I gave them time. Now, I want to know if we are harbouring a goddamn fugitive in our camp or something!" He exclaimed angrily.

Ejiro could only sigh and shake his head while handing Y/n their food.

"I am Y/-... F/n," Y/n hesitated, then finished. "F/n. I worked in the kitchen. I... I was clumsy and the head cook wanted to thrash me. I ran away."

Katsuki raised one eyebrow, "F/n... That's strange," he scoffed.

"No stranger than mine!" Ejiro joked with a smile, sending Katsuki a pointed look.

Y/n gave Ejiro a wobbly smile in return. No matter how suspicious Y/n was of the two men, they couldn't believe that Ejiro would do them any harm. Katsuki on the other hand was another story. It wouldn't hurt to try and stick close to the unique pair until they found another option.

"After we finish eating, believe it's best to pack up camp and travel towards the mountains," he said before taking a bite of a juicy piece of boar meat.

Seeing their confusion, Katsuki decided to pipe up. "It's not safe to stay this close to the castle."

"I thought you said that they wouldn't find me!" Y/n exclaimed panicked, standing quickly from their spot on the tree stump.

"Your tracks have been covered, but if Skigaraki wanted to desperately find you, then he would do everything in his power to do so," Ejiro finally replied, wiping the grease of the meat from his mouth.

"Tch, exactly! A search of the forest, a search of the village, a search of the huts. Sooner or later, he would find you, dumbass," Katsuki grumbles out, not liking the idea of being put on Shigaraki's raider.

Y/n sat in silence as the two men packed up their packs and camp, moving efficiently.

"Ready Y/n?" Ejiro asked gently.

Y/n couldn't think of any other reason not to go. Going with them and to the mountains lay safety. They slid their hood on and nodded, ready to follow. 

Y/n walked beside Ejiro. They followed a faint track that led up the mountainside. It wound back and forth between the large outcropping of rock. Each time Y/n looked back, the clearing of huts seemed smaller and smaller. The last time they stopped, it looked more like a painting than a real place, only the various moving figures made it live.

As Y/n watched, the tiny figures began to run about. Even from where they were, Y/n could sense their alarm. They looked at Ejiro and Katsuki. Both of their faces were grim.

"What is it," Y/n whispered in unease.

"The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance)," Katsuki said. He pulled her behind a large rock. "Look."

Riders led by The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance) poured from the woods, herding the people back and forth into the clearing like cattle. Others searched the huts quickly, setting a blaze to each one.

Y/n gasped. Billows of smoke rose from the clearing. The pungent smell of burning stung their nostrils. They wanted to shrink to the ground but were unable to tear their widening eyes away from the horror. 

Ejiro let out a long sigh before speaking. "When the The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance) are gone, we must go back to help those who are left."

The speed at which Y/n whipped their head to stare at the man would have been funny in a different situation but instead, they stared in disbelief. They risked a glance back now at the burning clearing. The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance) were satisfied with their search and had left. People wandered around the charred huts, picking up items that weren't that heavily damaged from the fire.

Ejiro and Katsuki rose from behind the large rock, beginning to descend back down. Katsuki glared over his shoulder at Y/n in a questioning way, they shook their head.

"I...I can't," they said. "I'll wait here."

Katsuki rolled his eyes and muttered a "pathetic" out. While Ejiro spared a disappointed glance but said nothing. 

Y/n waited patiently for them to return but while waiting their thoughts started to swirl. They picked at their hangnails in anger. What do those people have to do with me anyway? They thought. It's me that Shigaraki wants, not them. But fear of being alone again started to form deep within their gut. They decided to get up and walk down the mountain trail a little way.

Thats when they seen Ejiro walking back up, with Katsuki behind him carrying something. No, someone!

"Who?" Y/n gasped quietly.

"Demki Kamanri, the village bard. An old friend of ours." said Ejiro. Y/n looked guiltily at the boy slumped against katsuki's back.

"Is he... will he pull through? You know... will he die?" whispered Y/n fearfully.

The slumped figure sat up indignantly with a half smile. "Die?! Me? Not if I can get off this swaybacked, gollumpus, pomeranian-headed, stumble-footed excuse for a mule!"

"The hell you call me dunce face?! Yelled Katsuki who had just been referred to as a mule.

This tiny banter between Kamanari and Katsuki made Y/n chuckle softly. Fear ebbing away from them in large waves.

"Next time you try to vault over a fence sparky, make sure there's no bull on the other damn side." Hissed Katsuki.

"Bull?" Y/n questioned, staring from each male to the other.

"I was in a great duel with the biggest, meanest, ugliest-" Kamanri stopped when Ejiro loudly cleared his throat and gave him a pointed look. "All right! I was actually running for my life," he said. I just so happened to leap over a fence...which was the wrong fence. I uh... Landed right in front of a bull. Needless to say! He didn't exactly take kindly to the sudden scare and he also didn't wait for me to get out."

"He speared you?" Y/n asked behind a hand that covered their mouth in disgust.

"Pfft, nope! It's just a scratch," Kamanari said. He then hastily clambered off an annoyed Katsuki's back, slightly wincing as he landed on his feet. He looked back down at the clearing, the smile leaving his face as his eyes went dark. "Some were not so fortunate," he uttered. "The Yami no dōmei (T: Dark Alliance) aren't known for their gentleness."

"Aye...That is why we must be off now." Declared Ejiro.

Thanks for reading, hope it was enjoyable!! Make sure to stick around for ⚔︎-Chapter Four: The Journey Heads East⚔︎-

Birthday Gift for @salmontooth and his AU!

[pama-saga]

any MCSM fans remember the like. black and white comic in an anime style of M!Jesse (probably the first M!Jesse) looking at the graves of his friend???

it's such a hazy memory. did anyone else come across that comic?? I think that artist made more of that stuff??? idk?

[gryffintheparrotcat]

Me and the other squirrels (@kaihoney & @salmontooth ) have been creating dozens of AUs in the best PoP discord server if I do say so myself and decided to make a collab piece out of 3 lucky AU!Sargons:

Figured I shouldn't just post an AU!Sargon design unexplained so here is a quick look ar Firebender!Sargons design, who knows maybe I'll even post more about this AU at some point, gotta get FateSwap done first tho (follow kai if you want to see fateswap! I may have meddled in it but kai will be the one posting it)

And ofc links to their posts so you can get infos on fateswap and mtaw: https://www.tumblr.com/salmontooth/750389185612005376/the-gang-is-all-here-a-collab-with-kaihoney-and?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/kaihoney/750390055475003392/the-trans-meetup-i-mean-sargon-meetup-d-same?source=share

HE IS FINALLY COLORED

Maan ZT Magolor is probably a deviation from the norm here, he was just a lil guy who got gaslit into a dangerous relationship with the Master Crown, and didn't believe he could survive without it (lived in constant fear of the Mechanization from HWC, fled from it before giving birth to Marzipan)

So his thought process was "Right, if I become overlord, I can get rid of this threat and protect and shape the galaxy into a place where me and my daughter can live peacefully!"

Maybe had he had a support system back then, things wouldn't have gotten this bad.

When he met Kirby and Co. he got so nervous and antsy, he truly believed he was gonna make the galaxy a better place.

All the Crown wanted (purely Zero Termina, idk if it had motivations in canon) was revenge against the Tech faction, and Magolor was the unfortunate one to find it.

[acis-arts]

Hello everyoneee, I got super busy recently, but I was still able to do some art and writing in the meantime! Here's all my Cult Leader Designs as well as mentions of the AUs I have!!

Some of these will probably change over time, if I feel like it. I just wanna info dump on my AUs and I also think it's good to post how they currently look instead of waiting for too long.

Down below is the info dump on my AUs:

(Before you start reading: "Kali" is the name of my Lamb)

Lost Crowns AU (/Forgotten Lands of the Old Faith):

This AU was called "Forgotten Lands of the Old Faith" at first, but I refer to it as "Lost Crowns AU" mostly because that name fits too and is shorter.

This is my main AU! In it, the entire story of the game is pretty much unchanged, this AU focuses more on what happens after the events in the game. I haven't finished the game yet and I'm assuming after getting all Bishops, the game is pretty much done. (update because I wrote these notes some days ago: I got Shamura in my cult today so I finished the main story at last)

"A few days after freeing all the Bishops, Kali wakes up and something is missing. The Red Crown is gone, all Crowns are gone. They run to find Narinder and the Bishops, but none of them are behind it. Together, all 6 of them try to confront the Mystic Seller next, but upon arriving at the gate they were always situated in, they find nothing."

The Mystic Seller left the Lands of the Old Faith for good and took everything supernatural with them. I haven't thought about a solid reason for that yet, because my main idea behind this is that Kali and the others are now forced to live without all their supernatural powers. They can't perform Rituals, they can't resurrect, they can't summon weapons and none of the Follower necklaces work anymore. The only thing that was left is the immortality of Kali, Narinder and the Bishops. They won't age but the risk of dying permanently is there.

I have no idea if I want to keep this idea or if I want to scrap this, but I also thought about Kali finding a gateway into the lands of the Gods and together with Narinder, they try to find the Mystic Seller to get answers. The reason Narinder comes along is because he's more familiar with that place and Kali would need someone like that. The second reason obviously being that I want to pair them up and have them develop their relationship over this adventure (with a proposal at the end of it perhaps). Third reason: it's fun to have the Bishops take care of the Cult without Kali and Narinder around.

I have so much more stuff for this AU, but this is already so much text. Let's hope I get to post more in the future!

Swap AU:

This is pretty self explanatory and the majority of what I posted on here so far. As a short summary: Narinder is now the Last Cat remaining, becoming the Vessel of Kali as The One Who Waits

No Mercy AU:

This is based on the second save file I have in COTL, on which I'm trying to do an "evil route". In this AU, Kali isn't kind and optimistic, instead becoming a callous, cruel cult leader after receiving the Red Crown. Up until that moment, they were at the bottom of the food chain and upon receiving the power of a God, they were finally the one in control for the first time in their life. They decided to never let go of the Crown and their Powers.

Orange Crown AU:

This AU is pretty much just my close circle and me inserted into Cult of the Lamb. So far my partner and me are inserted as NariLamb and my brother is the Mystic Seller because he looks like them. This one is probably uninteresting to most of you, as you don't know any of us. I won't be posting that much about this and keep it private mostly, but maybe some of you are still interested in the art, so let's see.

As always, Thank you so much for reading up until this point!! I hope you all had a good week!

!!!!

Fallen angel Ash + Red??????? do tell :D

OKAYYYY i've already Established red and ash in the last ask so. let's talk abt their dynamic as fallen angels shall we? ^_^ (ramble under the cut)

so the dichotomy between then is that red accidentally became a fallen angel while ash intentionally fell from heaven. although both of them have themes of free will, the way free will plays into their fall from grace is vastly different. red used free will and had a consequence that was Much Harsher than ash, who knew exactly what is gonna happen when he fell (and he wasn't really a big fan of angelhood anyways)

also on top of that, red mourning his angelhood while ash just. simply cant understand is sooo. yeah. red and religious trauma. (he has so much of that oh my god) . and also red not understanding ash's willingness to rebel intentionally. insert thing about their ideologies being Directly opposed here bc ash thinks red isn't living his best life for being so willing to submit himself to a higher power. Yeah

but the thing is. even though they're fallen angels for vastly different reasons, they're still the closest thing they have to understanding each other. because whether they like it or not, they're still in the same place. after everything. so an arc where they reluctantly accept each other and talk about fallen angel stuff would go so hard i think. (also add them working out their feelings together and *chefs kiss* i loveeee that trope sm)

and maybe. once they work things out and realize they only have each other, they can have hope that things will be better. because they have each other. they might not understand the other all of the time, but from what they understand, they can forge something between the others. and maybe from that, they can realize they can survive this new and cruel world they find themselves in (also yes this is another paradise lost parallel. guess what story sparked my idea for this /silly)

(^ also that one is inspired by the ending of paradise lost where micheal [non fallen angel] talks to adam and tells him to story of jesus and how there won't be a battle against satan and how jesus [adam's future son] will be hurt and killed instead. but even as adam hears that, he still has hope things will be better. even if everything is horrible rn. he still has hope because he was made in gods image. and its a wonderful parallel to an earlier scene where satan is sitting in the garden of eden and crying at all of the grace and beauty of it and yet he doesn't feel better because he's so full of hatred and spite. that has nothing to do with the hc its just one of the coolest things in paradise lost i think . )

anyways yeah they make me. very jksdnsdjkgnsgnsdgmns. ty for the ask anon i appreciate it! <3
