Dad Dory au

Thinking about my Dad Dory au so here's an info dump. Also don't question my genetics. Just assume a lot of recessive genes in the way of colors came out in the kiddos. Don't question the egg process either.

There are six kids, yes six. JD is 40 at the time of this au's beginning at the time he gets the letter.

-The oldest is Blue and she is 19. For lack of other words, she's the responsible one. She had dark blue hair and eyes to match. She's a lot like Branch honestly but more outgoing. She loves to read and sketch and is quieter than the other kids but is fiercely loyal to her dad. (AKA Daddy's girl #1) -The next one is Cove. She's 16. She's the cool rebel of the kiddos. Style wise, I'd compare her to Floyd since she's kinda emo as well. Ever since they passed through Rock territory (and were "escorted" out) she's been in love with the genre. She has dark purple hair and blue eyes. -There was a few years here but the next one is Bay, the first boy. He is 9 and he's the smart one. He loves books like his oldest sister and collecting trinkets on the families travels. He's also pretty nervous about some of the more... dangerous adventures. He has a paler sea green hair and tealish eyes. -Right after Bay is Coral. She is 8 years old and honestly is the wild card of the kids. She is ADHD incarnate and really started giving JD the grey hairs. She's even more JD than JD is. Makes him reevaluate his life a bit but she is SUCH a Daddy's girl. She likes anything outside and often has mud on her. She has a dark teal hair and coral colored eyes. -Then comes Cruise. At 5 years old, he is very cautious and shy. He's a bit weak as well given his egg sustained a crack during an attack on the family's camp by a wild critter. He loves coloring and flowers. He has a very pale blue hair color and light violet eyes. -Finally, there's the baby Reef. He is only 2 years old and is the LAST kid JD wants to have. The toddler is pretty quiet and likes just looking at things. He often seems somewhat distant compared to the other babies JD has raised. Tism Toddler. He has a dark green hair color and violet eyes. More fun facts! After Bay, JD really figured he wanted a big family so that's where the youngest 3 came in. The family has a camper they built themselves when Bay was a baby that when settled down can fold out into a big enough space for all of them, it attaches to Rhonda for her to pull. JD did leave the kids in the camper for Blue and Cove (reluctantly) to watch so he could go help Floyd but these kids are as crazy as him so of course they followed and were dragged into the story.

i am so so glad that this is how we get to say goodbye to the old animation: a heartfelt ladynoir rooftop scene where time stands still and it’s just the two of them, by each other’s side like always. even if everything else seems bleak, even if they don’t yet know how to overcome this new challenge, it’s still them against the world. and that’s what matters

[matmiraculous]

In your Dad Dory AU, is JD a single dad or is Hickory also there?

or single JD with hickory later.

Your fics have made me ship JD and Hickory

He's a single dad but knowing me there will probably be HickDory later. I love them too much.

contrary to popular belief i think a ladybug dakimakura would he where chat draws the line. yes he can have a shrine for her in his bedroom but a daki feels inappropriate.

so obviously ladybug responds to this discomfort by personally designing and gifting him the most outrageous ladybug dakimakura. and like. what is he meant to do. it's a gift from his lady. he accepts it but he refuses to make eye contact with it ever.

In canon, a kwami's power must be used through a human wielding a miraculous, otherwise it'll have unforeseen consequences. So, in your AU, does Imago stealing Marinette's agonies cause any sort of trouble?

honestly the biggest unforeseen consequence is that this dude is around and being himself

no but for real, there should be a hypermassive consequence for a kwami unfettered peeking their head in, but there's not because of shit we'll get into later.

just consider it like this for the time being: now that Marinette is a sage and is capable of communing with the gods, she as a living being can be used as that intermediate conduit for power instead of the miraculous gems. If it was Tikki, for example, using her power raw with sage!Marinette, Mari would be able to access the power of creation or be swayed by it - however, it would put a massive strain on her, as she's not a miraculous but still capable of acting as that pipeline.

The reason Marinette has no ill effects from Imago, however, is because Imago is playing with a catch 22. Their purpose was to take agony away from Marinette, so even the exhaustion of accessing the unfettered power of a god was something he stole from her, so it seems like zero consequences have been had. In truth Imago is now SO tired holy moly and they DO NOT LIKE IT LMAO

just don’t think about how they changed for the better and how they went back hand in hand ready use the hope they’ve found to make a difference and how they were the bad timeline but now in every universe they’re not letting evil triumph don’t think about any of it and how they’re fated for each other in every timeline . etc

Just realized how fucking funny I am. I posted chapter 24 of Eldest and Youngest on Christmas. The irony. Merry fricking Christmas John Dory. The anniversary of my starting EY is in a week :>

I stopped taking mine because i kept forgetting and I regretted it so much over winter break when everything got Bad(trademark)

A few weeks ago I ran out of my antidepressants and I thought to myself: "let's see how long I can go without antidepressants" because I like challenging myself and I like doing difficult things

I cannot stress how bad this idea was. please do not be like me. I have gained nothing from this experience, I don't know what I was thinking I would gain. there is no glory in suffering

I should go take my meds
