#oh riz and pok my beloveds

[schrodingers-hoarding-problem]

what the fuck why am i actually crying real tears at the scene of riz and his dad oh my god

[mxcrayon]

oh my god okay. finally able to report on @astrobunz and i's bad kids greek god au

is it a little all over the place? perhaps. is it fun? absolutely.

first of all. pok and sklonda as eros and psyche. kalina as aphrodite (we're going to ignore the part where eros and psyche are not together and psyche is running errands for aphrodite) and therefore LITTLE DEMIGOD RIZ WITH WINGS. (adorable image of baby riz tripping drawn by my beloved astrobunz under the cut)

fabian (as of right now) is a demigod, born to ares bill and a human woman, who is not hallariel!! hallariel is dionysus. (i warn you now that we are majorly ignoring canon greek lore for the sake of accurary to characterization) yes bill cheated on hallariel because he fucking WOULD.

we also decided that. because hallariel is hallariel. she wouldn't notice. and obviously bill wouldn't bring it up. so. fabian doesn't know that he's only a demigod and that hallariel is not his birth mother. yes, we pulled a fig on him. we had to.

pok, being the god of love, obviously can tell and very sadly breaks the news to fabian who cries in riz's arms for hours it's a very sad au we can get more into this later

unrelated. gorgug hephaestus. adaine artemis. fig apollo, daughter to gorthalax hades. (again, ignoring canon, i know apollo is his nephew but shhhh)

kristen is just like. a guy. she's just super fun and the gods like her a lot they form a funky little crew

gilear is obviously the minor god of yogurt what else would he be

AND ARGUABLY THE MOST FUN PART OF THIS AU, THE SEVEN MAIDENS AS THE HUNTERS (of artemis but not really connected to adaine in this) and sam is extremely upset that zelda broke her oath to go mess around w/gorgug (whom she loves a lot!!) but sam spends every day praying to pok extremely annoyed that he made that happen

garthy poseidon bc why not

also consider!!! hades fig and ayda persephone!!! very fun!!!! i think ayda would be a wonderful persephone, AND also athena ayda because <333333

there's truly so much to this i was asked to talk about it and i love it but my god

babe feel free to reblog and add on whatever you want

[creacherkeeper]

AAAAA SAME ANON AND I LOVE UR THOUGHTS ON THIS AU SO MUCH!!!! hskdhdkdbd PLEASE ignore this if u don’t want to talk about this au of course, but honestly i only have more !!!!! about it with every piece of info. like the line about fabian and riz’s jaeger being “unstoppable. almost.” and about how adaine joins the fray specifically bc they’re down and adaine and aelwyn are the only ppl who can fill in their place right now. also how kristen is drift compatible with everyone im!!

NO NO NO IM SO HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!! like pacific rim really blessed us by not only being an AMAZING movie but also the best au fodder of all time??? god pacific rim au my beloved <3

some additional stuff because i cant stop:

i think ayda and adaine are totally drift compatible, but never tested together, as ayda only joined the program to pilot with fig

penelope, dayne, and ragh actually triple piloted until fig signed up. everyone thought it was better to separate penelope and dayne because they were ... not always team players when together. but after it came out everything that had been happening between dayne and ragh, that decision was heavily regretted. ragh got ... a lot of counseling after dayne was kicked out. when he was moved to combat trainer, he got a lot happier and became good friends with tracker, who'd been on base long enough to see everything go down

ayda and aelwyn actually knew each other in undergrad. aelwyn became friends with her mostly for strategic purposes, because she was the daughter of the head of the jaeger program and aelwyn wanted to build jaegers. ayda became friends with her because they were both the youngest in the STEM program and she was desperate for someone she could relate to, at least a little. they got along okay but didn't really keep in touch after graduation. they didn't start getting closer until aelwyn became a pilot, because then they COULD actually relate to each other, as scientists-turned-fighters

ayda still found out she was autistic through jawbone, once she finished school and came to base to study kaiju. she opened up to him about how hard it was to relate to her peers, and he was like kiddo youre probably autistic?? like over half of the scientists here are?? and she was like. OH. after everythings over and fig goes back to being a musician, she donates a lot of her touring profits to autistic-led advocacy groups because like. she's literally felt what it's like to live with an autistic brain, and it makes her the biggest ally of all time (and ayda being a very prominent autistic scientist AND pilot actually does like. SO MUCH for autism acceptance. she frequently gives lectures on fig's touring routes)

after they close the breach, fabian gets into a huge blowout fight with bill. cause bill makes his money by selling kaiju parts, so without the kaiju, he doesn't have a job. and by that point fabian has had enough distance and experience that he's like. i would have died for you but i fucking made a name for myself that was better than anything you've ever tried to do, now i get to live for me. and even though he wasn't expecting it, bill actually completely accepts and supports that

yeah so pok actually died cause he got eaten by a kaiju after drifting with one using the pons system he invented. its extremely difficult to hear but riz is also like. that is the most badass thing ive ever fucking heard oh my god (they name the neuroscience program at riz's college after pok. sklonda starts law school there the year after they close the breach)

kristen literally proposes to tracker the day after they close it, barely conscious, with a giant hole in her chest, from her hospital bed. everyone is like. my dude. tracker thinks its extremely romantic

(they end up adopting a bunch of kids who were orphaned because of kaiju attacks)

gorgug goes to college and becomes a high school social studies teacher. zelda runs a local gym. they have an extremely quiet life and are happy to, most of the time, not be noticed or bothered. every once in a while an extremely nerdy kid will recognize gorgug's PARENTS as jaeger mechanics and completely ignore gorgug and zelda thinks its hilarious

after they close the breach, the abernant parents reach out to BOTH aelwyn and adaine to ask them to come back home to visit and be celebrated. and theyre like. mmmm fuck that actually?? but adaine does have a BIT of an existential crisis cause shes like OKAY WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW?? they actually end up getting a little apartment together somewhere and aelwyn pays the bills as an engineer making advanced prosthetics. she encourages adaine to just try out as much as possible, and she takes a ton of classes at the community college, the community center, and at various local businesses. but its actually jawbone who inspires her to go back for another degree and become a psych researcher. she makes waves in the trauma and ptsd field

theyre all pretty happy that kalvaxis, category iv, and nightmare, category v, got blown to hell at the bottom of the ocean

d20 for the ask game ! or if you wanted a specific campaign, fantasy high ! <33

if it’s a franchise/series, which version/part is your favorite?

Fantasy High Sophomore year, Freshman Year is good but Sophomore year is just *chefs kiss*

what’s your fav scene?

Ohh this is hard Riz and Pok’s conversation in Heaven’s gotta be up there, Adaine and Jawbone’s heart to heart during Prom as well, and the same with Fabian and the Fire Elemental. But I’ve gotta say my favorite is Kalina and Riz’s talk on Leviathan. The juxtaposition of seeing Fabian’s nightmare, realizing it didn’t matter if Riz woke up to Fabian’s stealth check, Riz knowing jack shit about Kalina compared to her knowing everything about him, Kalina dropping lines like “it’s like when you were in that palimpsest, you will dig until your hands bleed”, “you’re like the spitting image of your mother and father, a perfect combo of the two”, and “If I were you I’d settle for one dead friend”. Whenever Kalina talks to Riz Brennan drops a bunch of oh fuuuuck lines to be fair though. But Riz being paralyzed and barely able to speak adds so much to the tension especially when he starts bargaining for Fabian’s life just so good in such a messed up way. 

favorite characters?

Riz Gukgak my beloved, I adore all of the Bad Kids but he is my favorite. I do have especially soft spots for Kristen and Fabian though. Ragh, Ayda, and Gilear are probably my favorite npcs.

headcanons (race, sexuality, etc)?

Adaine’s aroace she wants to do magic and loves her friends and her frog and wants to heal from what her parents put her through and improve her relationship with her sister and be happy.

if there’s an ost, what’s your favorite song?

The song that they played during the Hotel Cavalier fight is a banger. 

are you (an introject of)/do you kin anyone?

I kin Riz to a concerning degree
