#monster hunter world au

[theportalhopper]

So I had discovered monster hunter (the game) and loved the monsters. Specifically lore videos. So I had a thought, 'what if there were hybrids of human and monsters?' Yes, I know about the wyverians but I mean them looking similar to the monster they're descended from rather than having a few inhumane traits that hints at it. Then I thought of Zinogre!Ren and I then the idea was made. The monster hunter au! It's an au where all the hermits are monster hybrids. For Scar I thought of Shara (short for Shara Ishvalda) because Scar's a terra former and Shara also does this. Ren being a Zinogre is a bit obvious as he is often drawn as a wolf/dog. And for Grian I don't exactly have 1 solid monster for him as I have 3. A Chameleos because they're little gremlins, a Malfestio as it's a jester like owl and Grian is a pesky bird, and a Valstrax as they fly at bare minimum mach 1. Malfestio is the only one I have a design for but you can imagine him as any of these 3 also the pictures will be at the bottom. You can use it however you want as long as you credit me.

Monster hunter au part 10

Head in hands. Ratchet can't see, but carries the lantern anyway because it's not for him, it's for everyone else. He can't see, so when he shines it towards the mechs approaching him, this is for them to see better in the dark forest. He can't see, so he makes sure everyone who might need him can see him. It was never about him, it was about what he does for others.

Rung here actually knows he's God, but can't perform divine miracles. Although he can and does know things he's not supposed to know. Also, ironically, he knows everything Ratchet did after he blinded himself because Ratchet was carrying his spark around with him the whole time. So the phrase "Primus sees what I say he sees" was kind of prophetic haha

Dandy's World Roleplay servers are so wild and unhinged that it makes me come up with AUs. And yes, it's shinyshrimp. I'm so cringe <333

So, while in the roleplay server, I got into an argument with a Shrimpo as Glisten about not being able to see proper reflections though Glisten's face. Then a Goob showed up (my sibling) and asked if Shrimpo was a vampire. Then they asked if Glisten (me) was a vampire. Then we asked the Goob if he was a vampire, and he turned emo. And then I shared this experience with my friends, and they egged me on to make an AU about it lol.

Glisten: So. Is this the part where we make out, orrr-?? Shrimpo: WHAT??!

Dandy: No cuz it's genius! If they hate each other, that's two less annoying people to deal with! (He underestimated the power of enemies to lovers)

The general plot is Glisten is a monster hunter and Shrimpo is a human turned vampire-werewolf (he has no memory of how that happened btw). Glisten is specifically hired by Dandicus to hunt down and kill Shrimpo. Glisten manages to hunt Shrimpo down, but since Shimpo hasn't been non-human for that long, he puts up a kinda pathetic fight. Glisten puts Shimpo's arrogant ass in place and refuses to kill him so they can fight honorably. Shrimpo takes this personally lol and strives to get better at fighting so he can show up Glisten.

Badabing badaboom, enemies to lovers setup.

Dandy did not see that coming and it pisses him off lol.

Shrimpo: I HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- Astro (to himself): WTF is up with this guy?

This was a doodle recommended by an awesome artist in a server I'm in (dunno if they wanna be tagged lol). Astro being a moon moth thing causes Shrimpo to howl at him lol. Also part of the reason Dandy dislikes Shrimpo lol. Also also, Astro is a witch.

Also also also, here's the emo Goob my sibling became when discussing vampires. He unemos when he becomes a weredog lol.

Below is a buncha doodles all about Glisten (and his failing mental health).

TW FOR UNINTENTIONAL S.H. PROCCED WITH CAUTION:

You guys know Wiggle from Bugsnax? You guys know Millie from Helluva Boss? Yeah. They were the main inspos for this design hc lol (the buck teeth part not the insecurity part).

I have this goofy hc that Glisten's og design never intended to give him buck teeth. When being made, the ichor messed up and gave it to him. Learning about this is his first instance of feeling insecure about himself, and he develops the mannerism of covering his mouth when laughing (bc it makes his teeth really obvious lol)

And since Glisten now has buck teeth, that means Shimmer also gets buck teeth! However, her reaction to them was completely different to how her dad reacted to his.

I have this hc that Glisten can't handle backlash that well. With the machine messing up with his face (his teeth), and his general vibe being disliked by many people of the time of Gardenview (prob bc the 90s and very queer-coded kids' character didn't exactly mix well), he feels this crippling pressure to be the "perfect" version of himself.

If he deems you lower than him, your words don't matter. He doesn't care what you think about him

However, if he views you as an equal or higher, any kind of negative opinion said to him will be taken personally, and will either be repressed into self-hatred, or actively worked upon in order to be "better" (which ends up hurting him more depending on the situation.) His need for perfecting also makes him a workaholic when in a spiral, leading him to self-isolate and just kinda hide away from everyone for a couple days, and sometimes injure himself trying to get better on his own (he has a tendency to scratch his arms and face too, only fueling his need for isolation).

He refuses to open the door and get food outside, so ppl will slide him snacks and things under the door. People still care about him, but he'll never them see him cry.

Glisten has such horrid insecurity that he will never let anyone see. However, not everything is bleak for the guy.

Shimmer: Hey Dad! Guess what!? My teeth grew in! Now I look like you! Isn't that cool?!

She was not born with them unlike Glisten. Instead, they grew in near her "10th" birthday. She was very happy to have them. I like to think that seeing Shimmer be so happy to have a very sensitive trait of Glisten and loving every second of it helps him heal a bit of his insecurity.

After all, how can he hate a part of himself that his kid adores?

Kids don't fix everything, but they can aid in healing lol

Have a good one dudes^^

Monster Hunter AU // Rider Masks

A look at the masks of the Rider tribes of the Monster Hunter universe in light of the approach of Wilds' release and working on the Monster Hunter AU with @artistically-hershie! The Tobi-Kadachi (first image) is Alfred's, the Royal Ludroth (second image, bottom right) is Matt! Text under the cut.

"The masks of the Riders take on many forms and many meanings, all varying by tribe. To the Ludroth Tribe of the Primal Island, they are in some aspects transformative. When you wear your mask, you take on the form of your Monstie; this way you may borrow their strength, their gentleness, or even their voice. All is part and parcel of the Rider-Monstie bond of Kinship. Many a Rider even incorporates their Kinship Stone into their mask. If a Rider has more than one Monstie, it is tradition to make a unique mask for each Monstie. A Rider may spend years making their mask, which will be kept for life and ritually burned at death.

Apart from allowing a Rider to feel closer to their Monstie, the masks serve many purposes. Masks may be utilized in dances or the sharing of histories; they may be a status symbol within their tribe or when traveling to others; and they serve as armor or camouflage when mounted. Often they are attached to a cloak that the Rider will use in tandem, most of which are long and may cover a significant length of the body*. When outside their villages hunting or on business, the mask may also serve to make the Rider-Monstie pair look larger and more intimidating to potential threats. A beast with two heads is more fearsome than one. When the head is shaken, the mask and cowl make a racket that may aid in combat or may be used performatively. These articles are considered precious and are well kept. Ritual burning is said to help release the spirit of both Rider and Monstie at their passing.

*Rider masks can vary greatly in size, form, color, purpose, and all else. It is dependent on the individual pair, the tribe they come from, or the necessity of the mask itself.

It's been a rough week, hasn't it?

Anyway, I'd like to officially introduce you to the new AU on Hotel Transylvania - profAU (from the word profession)

So, let's start with the backstory, or rather, the legend that has developed in the circles of mortal men:

In the past, monsters accidentally unleashed a dangerous magical energy that threatened the world, releasing destructive creatures and disrupting the balance between worlds. Dracula, being the only one capable of containing this threat, personally intervened, restoring broken barriers and fighting the monsters. However, instead of admitting their fault, the monsters concealed the consequences, leaving Dracula with all the responsibility.

This experience led to his belief that monsters are too dangerous and irresponsible to exist without control. Now, his mission is to cleanse the world of this threat, and for that, he allies with humans. Despite their flaws, humans are able to maintain order and progress, which will help curb the destructive power of monsters. In this alliance, Dracula sees an opportunity to create a new world where chaos and irresponsibility give way to control and development.

Sounds like medieval nonsense. But I purposely did it in this format because legends are easy to change, embellish, or remove unnecessary things in the future 🫠

Headcanons:

Dracula has no family. In this universe, Dracula never had a family, as he always believed that his role could endanger the lives of those he loved.

Dracula occasionally smokes when bored. It's a strange habit that arises from boredom and an attempt to distract himself from his thoughts. Though his lifestyle doesn’t demand such indulgences, in moments of relaxation or contemplation, he might light up a cigarette without giving it much thought.

His catchphrase: "The world is full of idiots" This phrase is often used when things go wrong or when he encounters a lack of common sense. It’s become a sort of mantra for him.

Weapons and magic. Dracula uses magical fields to enhance his regular weapons, transforming them into far more powerful and dangerous tools. This allows him to enhance not just swords or daggers, but even crossbows or any other weapon. Magic and fangs remain his primary weapons, but when necessary, he can resort to other methods.

Orders. Dracula only takes orders at his own whim, limiting himself to just a few each month. He works at his own pace, not rushing to constantly take on tasks but focusing only on what truly interests him.

The scar. Dracula was once wounded by an unusual weapon, one that left no visible marks, but it changed his perception of danger. He didn’t even notice the scar at first. Now, it serves as a reminder that even the most invisible threats can be deadly. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

Hair. Drac stopped keeping track of his hair, partly because he wears a hat all the time, so it's grown out.

Relationship with Vlad. Vlad in this universe takes a neutral position. He doesn’t interfere with Dracula’s actions, and there’s an understanding between them. Dracula doesn’t show any particular affection toward Vlad, but he doesn’t interfere with his matters either.

I gave it back the purple color instead of the already familiar red!

I hope you understood the basic concept of the world that I shared. Probably, some part may seem illogical or strange to you, so I will be glad to listen to your questions and your vision of such a world

thought the outfit ael's currently rocking in monster hunter (guess what i've been playing recently) would look REALLY cute as a cowl in his full illithid form.
