#many thoughts and brainstorming

[ezlo-x]

hi I have thoughts to implement to my au maybe sorta I just thought the idea was cool. The Zonai were a Minish Tribe that were established in the Faron region when descending down from the skies

The Zonai were architecturally advanced as their structures and monuments were massive compared to their small size. It was at a point lead to believe that Hylians from a long ago past created those structures that are in the Faron region. Zonai don’t have a third eye in this, only highly respected Zonai would create these headpieces in form of a third eye. It is only a wild coincidence that the Sheikah and Zonai use eye symbols. However the Zonai in my au use more hand symbolism as they connect it more to into their architectural history and skills.

The Zonai established their own society in Faron, being the first to create a monarchy way before Hyrule was established to have a kingdom. That is the Zonai tribe of the south region, as a handful of the Zonai started to embark to the upper north side of Hyrule. There were two siblings in hopes to create their own society just like their cousins, Rauru and Mineru. They first settled in the upper north of the Woodland Region now known as the Thyphlo Ruins, until the discovery of the Great Lord Deku Tree in the Deku Woods (this is before the Koroks appeared). Rauru and Mineru decided to focus on the magic of the forest with the help of the Lord Deku Tree. Making Rauru hone the power of light and Mineru the power of spirit.

With these powers they have and their wisdom through experimentation and with Lord Deku Tree's blessing, was the creation of the Moth Fairy. Healing Fairies that transformed into Moth Fairies in their pupa stage. Who absorb the wisdom and story of the Zonai. As the Zonai wanted to keep their traditions alive the moth fairies were there as to archive their stories.

This magic came in handy when a threat of evil emerged in Hyrule as the Master Sword only being a few centuries old. And the incarnate of Light in a need of help to stop this force of evil from consuming Hyrule into darkness. The Zonai with their powers of magic that were obtained through the forest, gifted the Master Sword an enchantment to strengthen the sword and vanish the evil from Hyrule.

As centuries and many millennia passed by and the threat of evil being handled by child of light and courageous hero. Zonai tradition slowly diminished as also the Minish started to expand across Hyrule. The Zonai culture and tradition slowly faded as new cultures and traditions formed reestablishing as the Woodland tribe. People from Hyrule slowly forgetting about the Minish tribe. Leaving only the Moth Fairies to be the only remnants to know the origin of the Minish. The Zonai from the Faron region never really vanished however just like their Woodland cousins they became the Faron tribe as many things changed. However they had it slightly unlucky as not a lot of Moth Fairies know much for their history aside from the origin. Leaving many things behind and to be left a mystery.

The Master Sword's enchantment slowly diminished mostly as the threat of evil came back in long periods of time. In the current stage the Master Sword is weak due to the absence of maintenance and the enchantment is completely gone. The Master Sword has slowly become a rusted sword from a legend that is 10 thousand years old

teen gideon headcanons because i love him :] i am constantly thinking about him and how he's the only zodiac member (and honestly, only main-ish character because of the book of bill and the website) that doesn't get a sympathetic moment, other than POSSIBLY the finale but that barely counts

i think he deserves to have a SORT OF redemption, at least internally, because he took dipper's advice in weirdmageddon to heart. even if he gets over his crush on mabel (which i think he does. mom said its my canon now) theres still the truth of "people wont wanna be around you if youre a selfish prick"

anyways he makes me emotional so i'm giving him attention

im scared tumblr will kill the quality on my tiny handwriting so transcription under the cut:

after turning like 15, he just starts traveling, gets out of oregon and hits the ground running

uses my headcanon (?) that the amulet takes years from you, and gideon probably won't live past his 20s

he finds this out, has a total mid-life (literally) crisis at 14-15 and decides to do anything "normal" he can do because he doesn't have long to do it

ofc he still has anger issues and obsesses over people and everything else, but he's a lot better at managing it [than] when he was a kid

he doesn't care if he dies with people still hating him, but he wants it to be known that he tried

I’m NOT over Skids remembering Quark and wanting to using his final moments to tell Brainstorm about what happened to Quark.

AND THEN BRAINSTORM BEING THE ONE TO BE BESIDE HIS STATUE AND SEEING IT FLICKER OUT??

Okay talking with @cjbolan and she suggested amazingly how Odysseus could have visited Athens as a young man (should I say when he returns from Mesina? Or Parnassus?) He should visit Athens given it is the city linked to his patron goddess ✨️

And now I imagine excited lad Odysseus roaming about the city of Athens (probably even wearing clothes like common folk rather than king) like a freaking religious tourist on his way to discover the city almost practically founded by his patron goddess! Maybe this is the time he genuinely speaks to her in her own temple!

Okay brainstorming ideas for random fanfictions again!

I wanna take the Wild Hearts Crew and make them mine.

making a new post bc the last one is getting a little long but. what if i admitted i was contemplating the best way to incorporate amangela into the hypothetical charasha spies au. what then.

[haemosexuality]

i just heard someone on youtube (T B Skyen) say that silco loved jinx but didnt quite know how to love powder, while vi loves powder but doesnt know how to love jinx. and oooof oof ouch yeah

also it got me thinking and obviously jinx and powder arent two different people shes just going by a different name now but its also not baseless to analyze them as different "characters", or what traits of jinx are part of powder, etc. like the animators literally have a trick where they change her facial structure how they animate jinx to show when shes behaving more like powder. shes completely changed who she is, its jinx now powder fell down a well, sat on the jinx chair embraces who she is etc etc

not me latching onto the tiniest detail of part two in the 666 series ("Val is way better at this part than I am") but how exactly are you picturing what Val and Vox get up to on their own? specifically the aftercare? ngl I'm lowkey obsessed with the contrast of vox suggesting val is amazing at taking care of his partners in bed while also dropping hints about being hurt by him (and not receiving an apology) regularly... what a roller coaster relationship lol

Very late reply to this ask, oops, BUT:

I think Valentino is fully capable of being the exact kind of gooey, lovey asshole (even if he's low key condescending about it in a self-satisfied way) that Vox enjoys post Alastor-inflicted emotionally devastating edgeplay.

Vox refers to Valentino often in 666, and the ways he talks about him are conflicting! He mentions Val being a loving partner, he mentions Val hurting him, he mentions missing Val, he mentions Val doing things that are maybe funny and maybe kind of a fucked up violation of his autonomy. I think this is in line with what we see of Valentino in canon: he's constantly blowing up Angel Dust's phone and flip-flopping from nice to angry and back again. I don't think he's like that, exactly, with Vox, because Vox isn't literal property that he owns the soul of, but I do think he's likely prone to being a very mercurial person depending on how he feels he's being treated.

He's a bitch, but he's a bitch who can lovebomb with the best of them if he wants to. He and Vox have both killed each other in the past, but they also love each other. It's fucked up and complicated!

Happy birthday Emu. My personal idea for how the Wonder Stage might be used after WxS disbands and Emu starts getting more hands on with running Phennyland is dedicating the stage as a starting place for beginners. People normally audition at PxL for the bigger troupes, but there will always be the ambitious amueturs who have that potential and passion but didn’t quite make the cut for the big stages. That’s where Emu comes in and offers them an opportunity at the Wonder Stage, just like she had given Tsukasa.

It’s to help people get on their feet and into the acting/performing scene but without the same pressure and expectations that come with joining larger troupes. Unlike WxS, the new troupes at the Wonder Stage don’t have to deal with all of the hurdles Emu and her friends had. Back then, it was entirely up to the four of them to keep that stage running, but now Phennyland is well off. She’ll cover everything, advertising, props, maintenance. It leaves the troupe with nothing to worry about and total freedom to manage their own shows/schedules how they want. The real focus and goal of the Wonder Stage is to help beginners build up some experience, to help nuture passions that might have previously never gotten the chance, to be somewhere accepting that brings any ideas they wish to life and then… Emu makes it her personal goal to help each and every one of them find opportunities at bigger stages or bigger roles outside of the Wonder Stage.

It’s a starting line. She doesn’t have to be scared of her Grandpa’s stage being torn down anymore, so she’s made it into a safe place for people to grow with the goal in mind… that they will someday outgrow it, but that’s not a bad thing and it’s nothing to fear, not anymore. After one person leaves, there will always be someone else who needs that supportive environment, an opportunity, her help to make others smile. She’s there to tend to buds before they bloom, the cocoon for caterpillars, it’s a place for anyone, young and old, talented or inexperienced, determined or hobbyist, to come and go when it suits them best—

Becuase she’s learned that the smiles created at the Wonder Stage and Pheonix Wonderland shouldn’t end there, she wants those smiles to stay on their faces as they leave and go out into the world to spread those happy feelings everywhere.

like. the loose plan for the 'role' characters fill is

anastasia -> gillion

dimitri -> chip

vlad -> jay

dowager empress -> edyn

lily -> caspian

gleb -> ???

i am having such a hard time figuring out who should fill gleb's role.

i considered lizzie, it could be lizzie but i planned on lizzie being chip's sister and arlin is their dad. so like. that would mess that up cause why would lizzie be a big general person in the rebellion?? plus it doesnt make sense with lizzie's character + gleb's backstory. not to mention in canon lizzie isnt very close to gillion (compared to chip and jay)

then i thought maybe ava??? cause that would make gleb's backstory pretty solid. but i was planning on having the ferin's be from a long line of royal guards that protected the tidestriders. so that would make little sense why some of the guards. wait maybe i could have like jayson be a royal guard but he betrayed them? and ava followed in her dad's footsteps?? it would also line up with like canon ava how she had 'personal reasons' for joining the navy (even though the navy is bad). and jay could think her sister is dead? but she isnt actually and that could make a rlly cool jay plot point in the fic.... hmm....

much to think about (if u have any other suggestions for characters feel free to scream about them)

im also figuring out how to do the kingdom gill and edyn are from. should it be underwater or above water? because there are pros and cons to both options

for the under water kingdom, it make much more sense for tritions to live in water. also it could create really pretty scenery options to write and going above water to "paris" (aka allport) could be a much more important point for gill. the cons are that its odd to have humans down there. like how so they breathe? are there certain areas with oxygen? how does pressure not kill them?? etc etc also its WAYY more complicated for worldbuilding n stuff.

for an above water kingdom, itd make much more sense for a population with lots of different races (humans, tritions, genasi, goliaths, etc) and its less complicated for me to write (world building wise) it makes more sense that jay and chip have lived their their whole lives yknow? cons are its much more boring and it doesnt rlly make sense for a trition kingdom to be above water. why are they above water when the ocean is their like natural home??

i think i might try something inbetween?? like there are different sectors of the kingdom. and underwater portion for ppl who breathe water and a portion for those how breathe air?? like the castle is underwater but the kingdom is split between land and water. and there are potions or some kind of plant that grants waterbreathing for human (like a type of coral that can be turned into a drink. would that be ethical to farm. ) like gill's coral. it would mainly be used by guests visiting for events and balls and other matters and also the servants and guards and staff. hmmm ok that might work.

i think thats most of the major kinks worked out?? 'paris' is a lil odd but ill probably just glorify all-port to be this fancy amazing place yknow! and im STILL not sure if i want the fic to be fnc or just platonic. cause romance is a decent plot point in the musical but also. i could easily replace it with just albatrio's friendship. i wish i could like write 2 versions but i do NOT have the time for that yknow :) although i would LOVE to write a romantic fnc 'in a crowd of thousands' :)) i might do that just as a lil oneshot as a divergence to the actual plot yknow

in like every fandom ive been in ive wanted to write an anastasia au but have never gotten the motivation </333 im fleshing this out a LOT so hopefully i can....

im thinking chapter titles would either be the title of one of the songs or a lyric from one of the songs :) im obsessed with those songs man <3333

anyways uhhh fleshing this out !! yayay!!! if u have things u wanna add or ask about pls pls pls do i love this au sooo fucking much :))))

hm. im brainstorming up an anastasia au but there are many troubles...

Considering Earthspark’s approach to making the Decepticons not that evil, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce some awful Autobots as antagonists.

I know it would be fucked but- Sunder and Froid were the first to come to mind 👁👁

(Also considering that some of the inspiration for Tarantulas came from Sins Of The Wreckers, Impactor 👀)

Iicr, there were definitely a few on my "what would be the most fucked up thing to add into earthspark" poll(s) with earthspark Sunder being what inspired me to make the poll and who i voted for (yes i voted on my own poll sue me, earthspark Tarn still won)

I also considered earthspark Pharma and earthspark Getaway, which a tfe Getaway would be ~interesting~ because it gives us the idea of some of the autobots splitting off in protest of Megatron defecting and teaming up against our protagonists

I've in general been thinking a lot about mnemosurgery / mnemosurgeons in relation to Earthspark, and I admit I too have thought about Sunder and Froid dropping in on earth (i imagine that Froid lures mecha to Sunder, kinda like what we saw in the series)

Pharma would be a crunchy situation because not only did he flip shit but his design is so interesting especially with the saws especially with the saws.

I've also been considering Trepan or a character like him... for reasons...

I had not even considered Impactor he's a lovely lovely choice to choose here, especially giving him deep history with Megatron.

Info dump about Deadceptstorm for me?

I’ve only ever seen Simpatico(which is so cute for me so I’d love to know the add on)

HI WYRM!!

OKAY SO. Deadceptstorm is my combination poly ship between deadceptor and simpatico. So it’s Dead End x Perceptor x Brainstorm.

I used to be a super big deadceptor guy (still am kinda. but I like deadceptstorm better) cause of Cyberverse but then I read MTMTE like three + times and liked simpatico cause they’re fun. so then I just combined them together.

Although sometimes I do just enjoy deadstorm (Dead End x Brainstorm) because they’re actually a super fun duo if you think long and hard about it.

like it’s some fucking loser x the coolest sniper ever x guy who keeps somehow blowing shit up.

Perceptor is so done with them.

Also they’re just very self indulgent. Dead End definitely has some sort of intrusive thoughts and then his bfs get to go: “No that’s not normal WHAT are you talking abt???????” cause he never got to see a therapist cause the whole planet was kinda at war.

I’ll take both Cyberverse them and also MTMTE them because it’s fun and I like to have fun

ALSO Dead End’s brothers realizing he got TWO conjunxes while being the most boring guy ever is extremely funny. at least Breakdown has some kinda nervous charm to get KO to like him, Dead End has NONE. He has nothing going for him but Perceptor and Brainstorm want him anyway.

love them. they’re so everything to me

Why Lupos fear Projekt Red. Il Siracusano lore

So personally speaking Red has always been one of the more mysterious characters in Arknights to me and chief amongst the reasons is how she scares other Lupos. A thing that even theorizing why never made total sense.

But then Il Siracusano came out with so much Beast Lord lore and somehow made it more confusing.

(It's quite a long post so)

What I'm referring to is the last moments of the story before the Zarro boss fight in IS-10:

This. This is effectively the same effect that Red has one other Lupos which it draws attention to by referring to it as a 'chill' such as Red's talent name as well as when later in the event Crownslayer meets Red again

Now on the surface this makes sense. Red is Grandma's Fang and Grandma is a Beast Lord who'd be able to do the same thing. We also know that Crownslayer's mentor taught her a bite so there's techniques that Beast Lords pass onto their Fang.

Except it's not as clean cut as that because we don't see any sort of ability like this outside of Red. Neither Bernado or Lunacub exhibit this ability. There's also no accounts of any other character, playable or not, showing anything similar outside of the Nightmare Knight.

Then you take into account this from Lunacub's files on the Beast Lords:

"Polar opposite of Originium"

We know that like them there are also Feranmuts like Nian and her siblings who have no connection to Originium at all and don't use Originium arts wherein lies the problem.

It's not an Originium Art, it's inherit to Beast Lords and yet Red seems to be capable of it also.

So two options:

One is read the end of that screenshot. "Researchers struggle to find the profound differences between them and us." and we know thanks to Mephisto that if an Ancient goes into the Sarcophagus that they revert into an animal.

Not only that however. This is speculation but between both of Mephisto's boss fights we see that he's capable of healing and making husks out of corpses that he controls however in his second one after going into the sarcophagus he gains the ability to teleport.

I can't say whether this is a Feranmut ability but between the abnormal size as well as this, it's a possibility that it's between a regular bird and a Beast Lord.

But pushing that aside, it's possible that Ancients have abilities deep inside of them that they share with Beast Lords that they can bring out but that it's rare that they do.

Maybe this is the explanation for this part of Horn's files though it, like other aspects of some characters, isn't a 1 for 1 thing like Zarro and Red.

Second option is that it is "functionally the same" but actually has a different origin. I'd rationalize it as Grandma seeing how useful this ability is (assuming Zarro even used it consciously and other Beast Lords do too) and so tried creating something identical.

Maybe it's Red getting drenched in presumably wolf blood, with it lingering on her that other Lupos can smell and that sets off a fear response? This being my original theory based off Red's tendency to identify Fangs through scent as well as this pit from Executor and Vermail's vignette in Operational Intelligence.

Now the thing I would say about this one in particular is that, if killing enough of a certain animal/race makes said race terrified of you then why do we not see that from people such as Hellagur or Lappland or long lived characters?

But that's all I'll say on that because I do have a secret third option which is only secret because it is the worst and if true then wow that's cruel.

And that is that Red isn't the one who has these effects on Lupos but instead it's Grandma who can't be seen but is with Red, possibly intentionally doing this as to stop Red from staying from her mission OR and perhaps more interestingly (and ooc) is Grandma permanently gives off this effect.

Is there evidence? Well sadly there may be.

Here we see another Wolf Beast Lord making herself imperceptible to Rhode Island's personnel and in the second screenshot it's possible that she's hiding herself from even Lunacub, though it may also be that she left to somewhere.

Then there's Red's dialogue after her first promotion where she says she can hear Grandma. I repeat "heard" aka she didn't see her.

Now consider this: Zarro and Grandma are the same being with the same abilities and he went to Lungmen just to tell Texas he needs her for something and also that he raced across Il Siracusano to meet Bernado after he put his plan to detach the new city from Volsinii into action

The fact he doesn't use any sort of long distance communication implies to me that Wolf Beast Lords aren't capable of it, meaning it's improbable that Grandma wasn't there

So if Grandma has probably visited Rhodes Island, wasn't even seen by Red and would naturally have the same ability as Zarro while Red having it opens a billion questions,

It's arguably the most likely one.

Now that's all on the brain storming but if I can have a little more of your time, please read this:

Red's Trust 2. The one after her questioning the importance of family and preceding wondering if her life would be different if she wasn't a wolf hunter (aka groomed by a evil wolf to win a murder game so said wolf can become the leader of their pack off her efforts)

Now consider that the reason why they're afraid of her, why she can't befriend her fellow Lupos is because the person who has controlled her her whole life is still there, warding them off

Think about that the next time you see one of those tail hunter memes

Gods, there was a scene in my VTM!AU for Jacob and Dottie that I wanted to write, but I forgot all the dialogues I thought about .

I remember the scene and the vibes, but DAMN IT ALL, THE DIALOGUE WERE EVERYTHING FOR IT TO WORK.

And it was so bittersweet, because you know, love triangle was in FULL effect in that scene.

GODDAMNIT, ME AND NOT WRITING DOWN THE NOTES SO THAT I ACTUALLY REMEMBER WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT ABOUT.
