Jinyu and Tavi and their nb reader: Modern AU

"Stay still you twitching ball of chaos," Jhinyu hissed. "You'll jog my elbow and I'll get eyeliner all up my face."

"Can't look any worse than you do already," Tavi quipped back as he ducked under the naga's arm while he tried to touch up his makeup in the hall mirror, but it was said without any sting, and the naga just rolled his eyes and continued to focus.

From your odd little goblin pose, sitting at the bottom of the staircase where you had been ready and waiting in costume for the last half an hour or so, you said, "If you two ever stop bickering, maybe we'll actually get out of this house before Halloween ends..."

Both of them turned matching, flat stares on you, and you burst out laughing so hard you rocked backwards and your mask fell off.

any recommendations for some unhinged antics? Writing

Sharks, orcas, wolves, mongooses, hawks, owls, eagles, big cats, snakes, piranhas, centipedes, preying mantises, scorpions, spiders, squids, komodo dragons, polar bears, sea lions, crocodilians: entire groups of life adapted to eat absolutely nothing but the raw flesh of other creatures. Our society recognizes all of these as iconic killing machines. They all occupy a position in our collective consciousness that teeters between majestic warrior hunter and grim terrifying murder monster. Embodiments of nature's ferocity. Agents of death.

Frogs: an entire group of life adapted to eat absolutely nothing but the raw flesh of other creatures. We think they're silly guys who ought to wear floppy hats perhaps

Magrat Garlick is one of those characters who I didn't particularly like at first but really grew on me. She truly is the pathetic wet little meow meow. She spends 95% of every book getting criticized and trying to be something she's not. But that other 5%. Oh that 5%. In each book, she gets one badass scene, escalating with each book. First, she turns a door into a tree, something that impresses even Weatherwax. Then, she clocks a pair of snake-lady-monsters. And then, in Lords and Ladies, the piece de resistance: After spending the whole book worrying about how she's going to be a wife and a queen, her stress is topped off with an attack of otherworldly monsters, the elves. Magrat finds the armor of an old warrior queen (and experiences something described in my opinion suspiciously like gender euphoria), puts it on, and then starts carving a path through elves until she personally gets into a fist fight with their god-queen. She's a wet hen. She's a wet hen. She's a vixen in a corner. She's an angry mongoose. Her name was supposed to be Margaret but her mom was bad at spelling. She knows a spell to fill people's bones with hot lead. She is truly one of the characters of all time.

every time i look at caitlyn now i just get sad.

we know the gray is why viktor's sick and dying young

we know that caitlyn knows very well what the gray does to people

we know that the gray is a gas and gas cannot be controlled, we literally see it spill out of a building

and

and nothing comes out of it

nothing comes out of cait releasing a deadly toxin that has caused the suffering and death of generations of zaunites

one of whom she literally asks after because she did know him in some level and was concerned for, and/or because jayce is close to him and she knows that

cait who hugged a victim of drug addiction with no hint of hesitation or disgust, just grateful that he helped out, immediately suggesting that he meet vi because her new friend might be happy to see a familiar face

what

what the fuck

what the fuck???

like i know i know, smth abt grief and how it can turn you into a monster, yeah sure but like

are you. gonna do anything about that?

Oh

No

You're just

"angry oil slick" and "mongoose" and marvel quips and "im here to save my dad" and oh she's betraying ambessa now i guess. "why is peace always the excuse for violence," dude, you. brought back. deadly gas. that has killed generations of zaunites. this gas that is killing viktor. like 1/2 the reason why the world nearly ends at the finale because piltover's capitalism forced this guy's hand. i. i just.

what the fuck???

Isha headcanons (bc she's still alive she told me herself)

Jinx teaches Isha to pickpocket and for some reason she always picks Vi as her target. Vi doesn't notice the first time but the second time, she's chasing her down and calling her a little shit (affectionate). Vi then starts "accidentally" leaving candy or other lil trinkets in her pockets for Isha to find.

Isha loves to climb up things and drop onto somebody's shoulders. Jinx takes it in stride, Ekko playfully overreacts and Vi accepts her as a second monster head and they both start chasing everyone else.

Ekko is always finding old pocket watches for Isha to fiddle with. She always makes the parts into little animal shapes to show them. She gives Cait a mongoose (which sends Vi into a roaring laughing fit).

Ekko paints a little hourglass on her face and it takes everything Jinx has to not squish that adorable lil face of hers.

Yellow Jacket squad as anthros

Charles- Black Jaguar (he and Hannah parallel as Melanistic animals), Eddie- Javelina, Daniel- Jerboa, Sophia- Mongoose, Hannah- "melanistic" raccoon

I love Yellow Jacket so much. Charles legitimately scares me because rich bastards with no regard for other people are like... real monsters. I love him. And I had to Eddie right otherwise I'd lose my Texas citizenship lol. I also ended up doing an alternate GoldenTreasure edit of these fullbodies... but... shhhh

More of the MonsterHunter!AU. This time with Gaz.

Context: an Ichneumon is a creature typically depicted a looking similar to a mongoose or stoat. It is considered the enemy of dragons, much like how the mongoose is a snake killer in real life. So basically imagine being Gaz’s mongoose girl lol.

Gaz is known as a specialized hunter— he doesn’t go after just any monster. He’s a dragon slayer. Dragons are hard to find and even harder to kill, but their processed bodies produce a fortune’s worth in raw materials and lean meat.

Gaz doesn’t hunt you, he buys you. Nikolai is another hunter in his guild, but is far better known for his skills as a tamer. Creatures like ichneumon come pre-loaded with all of the killing instincts, they just need some socialization.

To be honest, you’re something of a runt, but in Gaz’s line of work especially, little things can kill things much bigger than them just fine.

You’re kitted out with a sheepdog’s collar. It has outward prongs to protect your neck from the teeth of other creatures.

Your tactics as a duo are tricky. You claw your way up the body of the colossal beast, biting and scratching as it begins to panic and thrash. This diversion frees up Gaz— he has the time and opportunity to line up his crossbow and shoot the dragon where it can kill it, right in the soft underbelly when it rears up to throw you.

He always saves you a healthy portion of the dragon’s meat as a treat. When you’re not working, your pronged collar is replaced by one that glitters and gleams with the scales of different dragons. You and Gaz have matching earrings made from dragon bones, blessed for your protection.

my personal pet peeves in HP is whole second book, and medicine. especially medicine

starting with the sewers that Salazar invented about half a millennium before the Muggles and beyond. but these things have almost no effect on the overall effect, but hospitals do. the school infirmary and St. Mungus. it feels like jkr came up with Saint Mongoose only for book 5, because before when students suffered serious injuries (Basilisk and cat hair for polyjuice, I mean you) they were treated at school. the students literally waited half a year for the mandrakes to ripen! but for some reason the teachers are transferred to Mungos (McGonagall did not stay at the school after 4 spells).

either these are plot holes or I don't understand something

Like with many things in HP, you can read it as a plot hole, or you can read it as Dumbledore's manipulations at it again (which is what I always do).

If we're talking specifically about year 2, we know Dumbledore knows what the Chamber is and what the monster is. He was a professor the first time around 50 years ago when Myrtle died. He knew it was Tom back then so it's not that he has no clue.

I think he doesn't know for certain who Tom is possessing at first or how, and he lets it play out to both:

Learn more about Voldy

Test & teach Harry

Additionally, even if petrification isn't serious enough to be sent to St Mongos (playing devil's advocate a little), I refuse to believe mandrake leaves can't be imported year-round. I mean, they are a common enough potion ingredient and are used in sleeping potions and healing potions. So there must be a supplier for potioners from where they buy the specific parts of the mandrake they need.

So, I think there was a wee bit of a coverup going on so Harry could be the one to figure it out and face Voldemort. Like in first year:

“No, it isn’t,” said Harry thoughtfully. “He’s a funny man, Dumbledore. I think he sort of wanted to give me a chance. I think he knows more or less everything that goes on here, you know. I reckon he had a pretty good idea we were going to try, and instead of stopping us, he just taught us enough to help. I don’t think it was an accident he let me find out how the mirror worked. It’s almost like he thought I had the right to face Voldemort if I could. ...” “Yeah, Dumbledore’s off his rocker, all right,” said Ron proudly.

(PS)

“You see what you expect to see, Severus,” said Dumbledore, without raising his eyes from a copy of Transfiguration Today. “Other teachers report that the boy is modest, likable, and reasonably talented. Personally, I find him an engaging child.” Dumbledore turned a page, and said, without looking up, “Keep an eye on Quirrell, won’t you?”

(DH)

Dumbledore is testing Harry in his first 3 years. The first time Dumbledore isn't fully in on what's going on at Hogwarts and isn't aware of all of it is 4th year (and even then I'm pretty certain he knew Moody was an imposter, but I digress).

In general, I think, 2nd year is just another example of Dumbledore endangering students and sacrificing their education (by hiring Lockhart) to teach Harry a lesson and test if Harry is truly a Horcrux, which he suspected before:

“Couldn’t you do something about it, Dumbledore?” “Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy...”

(PS) - when talking to McGonagall about Harry's lightning scar.

“I guessed, fifteen years ago,” said Dumbledore, “when I saw the scar upon your forehead, what it might mean. I guessed that it might be the sign of a connection forged between you and Voldemort.” “You’ve told me this before, Professor,” said Harry bluntly. He did not care about being rude. He did not care about anything very much anymore. “Yes,” said Dumbledore apologetically. “Yes, but you see — it is necessary to start with your scar. For it became apparent, shortly after you rejoined the magical world, that I was correct, and that your scar was giving you warnings when Voldemort was close to you, or else feeling powerful emotion.”

(OotP)

But second-year proved it to him:

“You can speak Parseltongue, Harry,” said Dumbledore calmly, “because Lord Voldemort — who is the last remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin — can speak Parseltongue. Unless I’m much mistaken, he transferred some of his own powers to you the night he gave you that scar. Not something he intended to do, I’m sure. . . .”

(CoS)

It allowed him to test his Horcruxes theory (the diary) and also test Harry. It accomplished a lot of things Dumbledore needed anyway, so he probably thanked Lucius in his head as he let it all play out.

I mean, we see how little concern Dumbledore shows over Katie and Ron who got hurt by Draco trying to kill him:

“You gave me your word, Severus. And while we are talking about services you owe me, I thought you agreed to keep a close eye on our young Slytherin friend?” Snape looked angry, mutinous. Dumbledore sighed.

(DH) - this is all Dumbledore really says about Draco endangering students.

“You have had a busy time while I have been away,” Dumbledore said. “I believe you witnessed Katie’s accident.” “Yes, sir. How is she?” “Still very unwell, although she was relatively lucky. She appears to have brushed the necklace with the smallest possible amount of skin: There was a tiny hole in her glove. Had she put it on, had she even held it in her ungloved hand, she would have died, perhaps instantly.

(HBP) - even when talking to Harry he is incredibly cold about it.

And in book 2, the board of governors did get involved and removed Dumbledore from the school because they, quite reasonably, were concerned he wasn't dealing with the danger seriously. Like, I know it was Lucius Malfoy who engineered it and he's not supposed to be in the right, but he kinda accidentally was in this case. Dumbledore probably hid a lot of information from the board and was weird about the whole deal, I mean, Lucius can bribe to his heart's content but I don't think the board would remove Dumbledore so readily unless Dumbledore's behavior supported what Lucius was saying in some capacity.

We know Dumbledore is incredibly cold and calculated and we know it's not out of character for Dumbledore to endanger students if it advances his goals and doesn't hurt anyone too much by his standards. What's a few petrifications if it means he can be sure he can kill Voldemort and learn more about his connection to Harry?

(Regarding Hermione and the Polyjuice in year 2 is even easier. Because I don't believe Hermione told her parents and Hogwarts wouldn't tell muggles about what's going on at school, so it would be quite easy to hush down for the sake of the grander plan. Also, it protects her, Harry, and Ron since what they did is kinda illegal, so Dumbledore not sending Hermione to St Mongos protects them from punishment, which works well for them and him in this case)
