#mantis blades au

[wazzappp]

How the Funnie happens in my au. Khaji’ s plan was that the outer layer of dead skin would make it as painless as possible for the mantis blades to emerge. Unfortunately, because of Jaimes fear (that Khaji tried to circumvent by being not entirely honest), the mantis blades to emerge early in an attempt to protect him from the perceived threat.

Also, my experience drawing this:

The Rescue

Part One | Part Two

Jesus, V. Vamos.

Had fun taking and editing these tonight. Been wanting to do some scenes with blood and mantis blades so this was great practice.

Thanks @rosslincyberpunk77 for the tips on using blood.

Made the mistake of thinking about one interest in another and now im doomed again-

[sacredcyber]

inspired by @boredth’s cyberwick au!

“I wasn’t sure what size-“ the sounds of mantis blades unsheathing was enough to send her flying back against the wall in fear. Panic grips her as she takes him in, a fine tuned killing machine…suddenly overcome with guilt. “…I thought…” he trails off and shakes his head. His black jinguji dress shirt shredded to tatters. She slowly rises and puts her hands up, showing she’s not a threat. “Need help?”

John sighs and shakes his arms a bit “…yeah.”

Have we talked about Mantis is the monster au yet? If not, how haven't we, she'd vibe so hard with Researcher (much like Witch!Chief)! I feel like Mantis (if this version of Mantis is more like how she was before she became more animalistic) would be thrilled with Researcher studying monster girls and just study Researcher from a distance for a while. She and Researcher would spend time looking at cool bugs and getting excited when one of the other monster girls do something noteworthy (anything). I'm not sure what kind of insect monster she'd be though. Actually would she just be exactly the same as she normally is? - 🏹 anon (too many ideas, too many thoughts, help)

also poor Harpy!Nightingale she'll go bald within a week because of Researcher's and Witch!Chief's antics

I think Mantis in the Monster AU would just…be a Mantis tbh. A mantis-like monster so to speak 😅

But even as a more feral and monstrous version of herself, she still retains the nerdy aspects of her canon personality such as taking an interest in research. I think Mantis is another person that geeks out with the Researcher, and while the Researcher devotes her time studying monsters, Mantis devotes her time studying humans…

If the Researcher is studying Mantis’ blade-like arms, Mantis is studying the Researcher’s smooth, fleshy human arms. It’s kind of endearing to see Mantis so intrigued with how soft a human is, and she really, really likes the Researcher because she gets to be up close with a human and see how they “work.”

Besides humans however, Mantis also takes an interest in insects and other insect-type monsters. She takes a peculiar interest in Drider! Garofano (even though she’s an arachnid) and tries her best to befriend any insect monsters that join the expedition sooner or later 💕

HAPPY JAIMEILYN HALLOWEEN🎃

jaime as catwoman (kinda) ilyn as calne Ca (kinda)

this wasnt meant to be a modern au doodle, the initial idea was ilyn letting qyburn operate on him to achieve max efficiency as a headsman, hence his right arm being a single blade (it also makes him look mantis-like, which is a bug sonoa and i strongly associate with him) so the in-universe explanation is that he'd skate around, pick up the condemned with his skeletal hand and chop off their heads right then and there. the isopod on his head is his little friend. the appendages in his upper jaw help maneuver food to the back of his throat which makes eating quite a bit easier for him. it ended up as a modern au drawing anyways cos i got lazy and didnt feel like drawing an entire comic

"There are two very dangerous entities in this building. When I'm done with it, there'll just be one dangerous entity."

'The Old Blood' Vampire Hunter AU facts, Part 1:

Explosives are highly effective at destroying the corporeal forms of vampires

Vampire hunters use silver bullets and silver-alloy swords and mantis blades

Many vampire hunters mistakenly believe that tattooing Christian symbolism onto their bodies, such as crosses, or bible verses, will protect them from vampire attack

Leather chokers are a popular item to prevent vampires from piercing necks, as are high-collared jackets, such as pozer and crystaljock jackets

Vampire Hunters operate like a knightly order. Initiates who pass the initial trials are granted the rank of Squire, and are assigned to a knight or knight commander of the order to train.

Melodies among the rain, help soothe the pain

Hollow Dreams AU

Clyde walked out of the soul pool spa with a handful of geo, Hearing the scammers wails and cries being accompanied with Alex's nail thrashing against shell. It counted the geo and realized they had double the geo from the amount it originally gave the scammer, It figures she had scammed another bug out of their geo and thinks to ask the local bugs of Dirthmouth or any non-infected bugs if they had any lost geo.

Little footsteps come nearing closer to Clyde and it felt the tug of the other half of it's charm by it's side, a small buzzing sensation flows through Clyde as it looks down at a moss of hair with two sharp horns peaking through the greenery.

"Did you uhh- kill her?" Clyde asked.

Alex looks up at Clyde, the deep empty void eyes stare back at it fills it with an odd sense of comfort after being around them throughout their adventures, They shake their head 'no' before looking around the area, doing a little spin to get the whole view.

'Huh' Clyde thinks to itself. Usually Alex doesn't like it when something messes with the both of them and ends up ending their life, but on rare occasions they spare the offender with reasons unknown Clyde has yet to understand. Since the scammer didn't exactly hurt them it felt like a good reason to spare her, It never exactly cared for geo but it was useful in buying items from the shops in Dirthmouth.

Clyde watches as Alex run around the area, jumping ontop of platforms that doesn't seem safe and scaling the walls, They have a habit of making sure to explore every bit of an area even when it's already explored, usually to find a grub or finding a secret passage way that hides a hidden treasure behind it's walls.

Clyde doesn't follow them as usual, instead walking up to the tall glass window and looking through it to see the distant blurry shapes of the abandoned City of tears.

The rain pouring down heavily on the glass panel creating a rhythm, The glass then reflects it's appearance, Clyde focusing too much on it's broken antenna and bandaged up face, it slowly creates an outline of it's scar behind the bandage, before getting a brief flash of the infected Mantis lord...

...It blocks of the memory and instead let itself slip off into the noises in the background, Alex's distant footsteps, the rain pouring down the glass, the soft melody mixing within the rain, slowly it lets it's mind drift off.

Their soft deep humming echoed in it's head, the warm embrace of their arms flowed through it's body, their charms sending each others thoughts and emotions, the hot burning headache, the burning light that filled it's mind, the cold winds of the cliffs, lost and alone, where was it's partner? Before suddenly- the sharp nail blade hitting it's claws and tail, hurt hurt hurt it hurts- where were they why didn't they come looking for it? Why why why-

The harsh tug of it's cloak brought them back into awareness.

Clyde felt itself getting dragged by their cloak and looked down to see Alex.

"Alex?! Where are we going?!"

Clyde reassured itself that the area is safe if Alex explored it's nook and cranny top to corners. They lessened their grip and led them to a lit up room behind a few furniture, the soft pink light seeping through the door and Clyde grew curious.

They both walk in, a stage is set Infront of them with roses scattered around the neatly decorated room. Alex jumped onto the stage, Clyde following along them. Suddenly a butterfly appeared infront of them almost making Clyde slip back from the edge of the stage.

"I see you came back little one, and you brought a friend, how kind of you to offer me an audience" Her voice flowed through ethereally. Clyde noticed the dream symbols floating around her and guessed she was a spirit.

Alex sat down on the ground, but Clyde was still confused.

"If i may ask, who are you?" It asked.

"I am Marissa, a songtress of some renoun, huge flocks came to hear me sing, but something happened and they all stopped coming, i still sing but my voice only echos in deaf ears" she says sorrowfully.

Clyde hummed, thinking about the distant melody that it heard a few minutes ago.

"Feel free to sit down and rest, let my voice soothe your worries away" Marissa says softly.

Clyde tensed at that, but sees Alex looking at it and thought it wouldn't hurt to rest for a few moments.

It sat down next to it's partner as Marissa began singing, her voice was even more ethereal from her regular speaking voice.

Clyde found itself feeling it's tensed limbs growing relaxed as the melody flowed through the room, the scent of the flowers helped the feeling calm it's nerves.

But it's mind thought back to it's previous partner, their deep calming humming mixing in with the melodic song of Marissa. But before it began to spiral again it felt damped moss touch it's side.

Clyde saw Alex had began leaning on it, the wet messy moss hair sinking into it's cloak as they breathe in and out, they seemed exhausted.

Clyde slinked an arm around Alex, getting into a comfortable position as it listened to Marissa's singing, mind clear from any unwanted memories.

'Maybe it will be fine'

'All will...be fine'

Clyde wasn't sure for a moment if the second line was it's voice or another.

Marissa's song echoed the place as the two relaxed underneath each others embrace.

What if... Cyberpunk 2077 x Warframe 1999? It seems to me that Arthur would fit perfectly into this universe like someone like V. And I also thought that Aoi would really look good with Mantis Blades

And since I love Arthur/Drifter very much, it would be great to write Drifter as a character like Johnny, so that he is a construct

Although I'm still thinking not to rely on the story of Johnny and V and not to adopt the concept completely, but to just fit into the AU, where Arthur would be solo and Drifter would be a netrunner? Voodoo boy? Scavenger?

One I had for the buggettes au that could help separate the miraculous and calamitous is their tools. Playing off the canon weapons of the ladybug, bee, and butterfly (a yo-yo, spinning top, and cane), maybe the weapons if the miraculous could all be toys or accessories. Meanwhile, the calamitous have actually weapons like daggers, knives, bladed whips, etc. Could back that the miraculous are the good ones and the calamitous are the bad.

That could work as most tool ideas I had for the bugs were toy/kid related. And they could have more to them depending on the user and their needs.

Ladybug- Yo-yo

Firefly - Glowstick

Bee - Spinning Top

Grasshopper - Vilion or Clover themed Umbrella

Dragonfly - Pinwheel

Mantis - Telescope

Butterfly - Baton

sweet/savory/spicy: savory mostly

relationship status: single. sigh

last thing i looked up: 'antibiotics hair loss' bc i'm still on antibiotics and i'm losing a lot more hair than normally so i was wondering if it was connected. could be but also could be that it's something else who knows. i'm so tired

current obsession: idk i'm not really intensely obsessed with anything at the moment. but i'm spending lots of time with fields of mistria... and kotor... i'm gonna get the 4th star map soon and i know after that you encounter malak on the leviathan?? so the Reveal is about to happen soon??? i'm nervous... also speaking of kotor i am obsessed with liah actually. i watch battlestar galactica and i go what if liah bsg au 🤔 i think abt the sw prequels and i go what if liah prequel au 🤔 i've never played cyberponk and never will but the other day i went what if liah cyberponk au (liah with mantis blades??!?!?!?!!???!!) 🤔 can't think abt anything without also thinking abt inserting liah in it somehow...
