#or smth i really need to think of a cooler au name.....

[azurem]

my uhh ink and nm designs for my funny semi swap semi fantasy au...! They canonky kiss and hold handns......

[charaznablescanontoyota]

ok wait further thoughts on this au below the cut. FULL SPOILERS

team short motherfucker co-owns a jaeger named Crazy Train (their superior officers keep petitioning them to rename it. they wont)

this au would largely be set at some remote shatterdome in alaska or smth, coastal but middle of fucking nowhere/cold all the time. home for misfit teens that did pretty well in the pilot program but are fucked up for various reasons and need new drift partners/have to re-take all the compatibility tests

shadow is a government experiment still. failed program to combine human and kaiju dna that ended up being drift compatible with maria. maria died, gerald still got put in jail, and shadow got shunted off to alaska (he was definitely supposed to get captured or killed or whatever but somebody let him off easy)

trish was in a really notorious group of italian pilots and 50% of them got killed horribly due to just general mismanagement at that shatterdome. had her own jaeger named Spice Girl and also pilots one with shoka (Cat Scratch Fever)

shigeo has his own jaeger named Mob Psycho and is really easily drift compatible with people but his jaeger/psyche have like. dark energies. people get sucked into the drift and have a hard time coming back out. he burns through partners really easily and has no idea why. he shouldn’t be able to bc of cognitive overload but he can pilot Mob Psycho solo in a pinch

audrey is literally just some guy who came up through the teen program but she got too many demerits and had an insane breakup with her drift partner (emma) so she got transferred. she has no idea everyone else in her cohort is infamous

al used to pilot the Fullmetal Alchemist with ed but they got in a fucked up disaster that left ed missing an arm and a leg and al comatose and ghost drifting with the jaeger/ed for several years. it got resolved at the cost of the elric brothers can’t drift anymore or al might never come out of it. they both got transferred to separate shatterdomes. al is mostly doing comms stuff now because he’s scared to pilot

carrie has sort of a similar situation to mob i think??? weird drift problems but can handle the psychic load of piloting alone

jason and roxas both got dumped by their drift partners (jason almost died, roxas just kind of took off) and ended up here and they pilot together. i think they have one of the jaegers that can fit three people and shoka occasionally jumps in. roxas has a similar thing to shadow where he was genetically modified to be a perfect drift partner for one specific person. he hates it

nobody actually really knows where shoka came from and most of the higher-ups can’t stand her but she is actually a pretty good co-pilot when she manages to be drift compatible with someone so they let her slide. she hangs out in the comms center and spills coffee on al’s paperwork and the computer consoles when no one is running interference on her

komaeda is a k-labs intern who nobody wants to interact with except mob who got trapped in the freight elevator with him once and now they inexplicably get lunch together every wednesday

fugo was in trish’s italian pilot cohort and gets transferred to alaska eventually and its huge drama. he’s not drift compatible with trish anymore and they both pretend to be really regular about it. [shadow voice] mad that she has cooler drift partners now aren’t you pudding boy

idk simon is there i guess

amelia and bruce are ostensibly running the place but nobody really respects them. 

varian is amelia’s personal assistant (unpaid intern) and a jaeger mechanic

[guy about to say something incredibly predictable voice] interstitial infinity pacrim au

[locria-writes]

Oh oh pls do the whole aab childhood friend ask as in "grew up together" bc man I wanna know about everyone especially Val so bad in this marvellous au

this was 100x more difficult than i thought bc of trying to delicately juggle the various story arcs to fit this, but i think i’ve done it!!! ヾ(:3ﾉｼヾ)ﾉｼ also i kept their ages the same, just that they all meet mc when she’s a bby

ignazio

idk really know how this would work, but maybe his family owns a farm and is a tenant for mc’s family?

accidentally meets mc in the forest bc she’s lost and his big bro instincts kick in, and they become friends like that?

definitely gifts mc tons of dandelion bouquets, little treats from his mom, and feels really bad for mc

ends up leaving to become an exorcist bc he wants to help mc get away, and the job is good money and gives him some status so he can rescue her from burky boy ♡o(╥﹏╥)o ♥♡

wolfram

meets mc bc he spends summers with oskar, and oskar is dragged off every summer to spend time at mc’s lol

he’s the alpha bully lmao. bullies the heck outta poor mc and oskar, but he’s like the bratty bully friend who is the only one allowed to bully his victims (ಠ ∩ಠ)

definitely forms a crush on mc first, which means he just goes full tsun and bullies mc more, but bc he’s more outspoken, also means he stands up for mc whenever ppl bully her

honestly very cute, very wholesome, wolf’s just too dumb to ever acknowledge his feelings also lmao mc knows his actual name here and just bullies him back by using his mom’s nickname

edmund

okay we gotta bring this back to an annalena lives!au bc there’s no other way he would have met mc in her childhood otherwise

definitely resents her at first, but he’s an innately gentle and kind person, so it doesn’t take long for him to just completely adore and spoil her lol

would definitely insert himself as mc’s cooler, richer, and smarter big bro, much to ben’s chagrin lmao

god the romance would be so angsty tho. edmund would never acknowledge any non-platonic feelings for mc, and even if he does, he’s convinced it’s just bc she looks like annalena, so poor mc has to work her ass off for it to even work ༼ಢ_ಢ༽

valentin

i can’t give out too much context without spoiling his story, so let’s just say he’s found himself in burky boy’s employment as a footman or smth idk

hates mc at first bc he thinks she’s just some spoiled brat, but he’s got a soft heart, especially for cute things, so that doesn’t last long val giving bby mc piggyback rides ughhhh

definitely also acts as mc’s smarter big bro, her sense of self-preservation, and ben’s sense of self-preservation/dignity too lmao

would have left some time in his teens to join the military anyway, and when he comes back, mc’s all grown and he’s just like ヽ(゜Q。)ノ？

lothar

probably meets mc bc his adoptive dad has business with burky boy, and drags lothar along

literally sees mc and just goes “yes i will die for this child”, and honestly, probably is a better big bro than ben lmao

i’m so torn, bc on one hand, meeting mc earlier would have made him a lot less messed up, but then mc would be his greatest weakness, and his adoptive dad would’ve 100% exploited that (ಥ_ಥ)

dunno when he’d fall in love with mc, but he probably wouldn’t show it. just happy to be a big bro figure, and to scare off any potential suitor of hers lmao

einar

honestly, okay it would kinda be like how he meets mc in-game??

except this is grumpy victorian gramps!einar, and mc just kinda follows him around like a lost duckling bc she’s just a little bby??

probably starts teaching mc alchemy as a way to get free labour ngl lmao (❁´◡`❁)

dense af mc needs to chase him and smooch the heck outta him for einar to even get anything lol

[italian-pastry]

Rambling about the Family Tree

Here’s the Family Tree!

And under the cut is all my rambling about designs or whatever! (this ended up not being about designs too much. Hm)

OK WE NEED TO BE ORGANIZED HERE I’ll be going generation by generation, from left to right. Everyone will be here, just for organization sake. Of course, some people are more important than others, so be warned for long rambles (in generation 2 especially) OK LET’S GO

Generation 1: Iida Parents: Idk man. They don’t even have designs. They’re probably cool Enji: He doesn’t deserve to be drawn well :) That and he doesn’t deserve to meet his grandkids :)) Rei: She deserves to be pretty and be a cool grandma. Her grandkids adore her. Hisashi: This mans is kinda wildin’ in my universe. Whatever he’s up to, it’s not being Inko’s husband. Inko: Soft grandma!!!!! We love her and she loves her grandkids and husband. Toshinori: He deserves to retire and settle down and be happy with his family and be adored by his gandkids. Emiko’s Father: He and Yukie got married (and Yukie got pregnant with Emiko) almost right out of highschool. He expected Yukie to give up her career to care for Emiko, but that didn’t gel with Yukie, so she divorced him when Emiko was little. Idk where he is now. Yukie: We love her. I love her. She’s super sweet and super cool and super short and that’s all you need to know. She also looks a lot like Eijirou (or, at least I tried to make them look similar) Crimson Riot: I subscribe to the Dad-Crimson theory, so here we are. After Emiko started elementary school, Yukie tried to get her career back together, but after meeting and having a thing with Crimson Riot and getting pregnant with Eijirou, she gave it up to be able to care for her kids. Nadie: An American journalist who moved to Japan for work! She and Yukie met and got married when Eijirou was 9-10. She has 3 kids from her previous marriage (that ended in disaster). Christopher Skyline: (Yes, THE Christopher “Captain Celebrity” Skyline. We’re just ignoring the Vigilantes canon over here.) Nadie’s ex-husband and the father of Hanae, Etsuko, and Suzume. He was a serial cheater, and the kids was a desperate attempt made by Nadie to try to make him stick around. Sperm Donor: Just a sperm donor. Mitsuki: Still looks SUPER young. She doesn’t like it when her grandkids call her “Grandma” or anything like that because it makes her feel old. Masaru: Loves being called “Grandpa” or whatever by his grandkids. He loves them, and likes to visit them a lot. Mika: Still quiet and chill. We love her. Kyotoku: Still loud and fun. He’s a cool dude, and he got them smile lines Beru: Her head is weird. I’m sorry queen, but it freaked me out. Ganma: He freaked me out even more. He was my least favorite to draw. Sorry bro. Uraraka’s Parents: Her dad reminds me of my dad (vaguely). They don’t have names, but they’re cool. Also, Ochako was able to get them a nice house, so good for them. Shouta: Just go look at @nartothelar‘s Silver Fox AU that was my main inspiration. He a grumpy old man who only likes his kids and grandkids and family. Hizashi: Same thing as Shouto. I like to think that all of his hair has grayed, so his hair is like Platinum Blond now.

Ok! Gen 1 done, and it was mostly me rambling about Eijirou’s parents. Maybe one day I’ll dedicate a post to them.

Generation 2: Tenya: I had him grow his hair out because 1.) I thought it was cute and 2.) it represents him loosening up a lil’ after school. He wears contacts during Hero Work, but wears his glasses casually. Tensei: Literally just the same dude. He’s Tensei and he’s chill and he’s cool. Dabi: I gave him an eyebrow piercing and a fun new cut. (Fun fact: That’s his Fantasy AU fairstyle) Fuyumi: I hope her hair looks very Teacher-y and Motherly. I think she looks super cute. Natsuo: A simple dude. He finds a cut that works and sticks with it. Although I did give him sideburns and a lil’ touch of beard. Shouta: Instead of shaving his red side, he combs the white side over it. Also, I hc that in his left eye, he’s half blind. Izuku: Yikes. He got the wound early in his hero career. He went blind in his right eye, so he and Shouta together are like 1 and 1/4 blind. Emiko: Eijirou’s older half sister. I would say she’s Girlboss and Natsuo is Malewife, and I think that’s accurate - even if only a little. She’s a social service worker, and met Natsuo in college. I had an old design before, but I like this one A LOT more Eijirou: I am a simp for long hair Eijirou, so here we are. ALSO freckles!!!! I love freckley eijirou. Also stubly beard and cool new scar. He is very dad. Hanae: The chill little sister. Probably a lawyer or professor or something smart like that. Etsuko: The crazy sister. She works in the hero field! If as hero support or as an actual pro, idk yet! Suzume: The ex-crybaby sister. She’s prolly doing something fun and artsy. Also, HUGE demigirl vibes Kane: The energetic little brother! He has most certainly gone pro, since he’s like very early 20s now. Fun Fact!: He was 6 when Mieko was born, so a lot of people thought they were siblings. It only got worse when Akio rolled around. Katsuki: hehe Undercut Bakugou. Also, hearing aids! I put his eyebrow scar there so he and his hubby are matchy matchy. Actually, both of their scars are pretty matchy matchy.... huh. Also, I’m totally not saying he was invloved in the fight that gave Izuku his scar, definitely not. Mashirao: STOP SAYING HE’S PLAIN AND ORDINARY. HE’S BEAUTIFUL DAMMIT. Every time I draw him I think about how darn pretty he is and that he could be like a KPop star or smth Tooru: It’s tooru! Super fun lil’ lady. What a queen. Mina: Look at that kick-ass scar I gave her. It’s what she deserves. Although, that eye may be a lil fucked up. Ah well, at least it looks cool. Yuuga: LOOK AT HIS HAIR. I am so happy with how it turned out! He so pretty. He and Mina are DEFINATELY Girlboss and Malewife. Hado: Also a simple lady. Prolly also needed to stick to her brand of long hair. She still super pretty tho. Lowkey disappointed I didn’t give her the stereotypical Anime-Protag’s-Mom hairstyle Haya: Completely shaved her head, and got more piercings! Like, 100% more Punk Rock. Itsuka: FRECKLES FRECKLES FRECKLES. And short hair!!!!!! Sigh, I love her. Tetsutetsu: I tried to make him look like Ejirou, even if just the face structure. I like how his hair and scar turned out tho. What a lad. Mezo: What a cool dude! Got a sick nasty scar, but covers it with his hair. I think, even with a majority of his face covered, he is still very handsome Miya: She has a name now!!!!!! What an icon. She’s a Hero Costume Designer, and she has a spider mutation. Wolf Spider, specifically (I think). She is so adorable and spunky I love her. Momo: Short hair!!!!!!1!1!1!11! God, what a goddess. We love her so so so much. Also, she gets to have a cool scar, too Kyouka: While she’s in UA, she straightens her hair, but after she graduates, she doesn’t care abt it. Momo rlly likes it curly. She also has that thing going on where you shave all of ur head except for ur bangs (and the side thingies). Oh! And eyebrow piercing! Satsuki: Pretty! Also, I made sure that all the girls who would’ve been 6-7 during the current time all had ponytails now (Satsuki, Etsuko, and Eri) Samidare: He’s super cool, and I decided to give him long hair to make him cooler. Also, Demiboy vibes, anyone? Tsuyu: A queen!!!!!! I love her so much!!!!!!! When her hair is down, it reaches to her shoulder blades. Ochako: SHE LOOKS SO BADASS I AM SO HAPPY. Look at her, with those cool scars, and that cool hair! What a queen! Mirio: Classic Mirio! Tbh, idk if I’ll give Mirio his quirk back. Like a lot of the stuff in the recent arc I’ve ignored, soooo......... Tamaki: He has SO MUCH HAIR. It ridiculous. Since growing it out, he uses it to hide behind if it’s left down. So Mirio likes to do stuff with his hair and make it look cute. Nikko helps, too! Eri: A queen!!!!!!!!!! Idk if she’ll be a Pro Hero or doctor that specializes with pro heroes, but I want her to be happy and help people! Hitoshi: Hanta and Denki weaves flowers into his hair a la Rapunzel all the time. The braid is really loose and shitty a lot of the time tho. Ah well. Denki: Because I moved his black stripe to down the center of his hair, my little sister keeps calling Denki and Race Car. And I agree. He got those scars because he was able to train himself to really not fry his brain anymore, but that means if he overloads, his electricity escapes some other way, so through his ears and into his face. Hanta: That scar was very strategically places because I am a firm believe that Sero will uncannily resemble Shouta when he gets older. I hadn’t done a really good job at that tho....... hm.

Gen 2 is done!!!!!! It was my fave generation to draw UwU. I’m not sure what to say with Gen 3, since I’ve already talked about them a lot. Jeez, idk. I’ll think about something to ramble about later.

@questionableholidayreally Tozen rlly said “I am literally just vibing ;)”

[too-raph]

For the character meme ... Wakiya,Naoki ,Ukyo,Quon ,Xhaka aaaand Daina! (I'd say Rantaro but then i will feel like I don't know you at all! Haha)

Under a cut bc, predictably, it got long. Sorry it took me a while to do!

quick note: it would have taken me forever to determine my favorite headcanon for everyone, so instead it’s just the first one I thought of, haha

Wakiya!First impression:A Little Shit. I thought he was funny, but honestly wasn’t sure if I’d like him all that much.Impression now:A lovable little shit, completely ridiculous, and actually a very good kid. I love him a whole lot more than I thought I would.Favorite moment:Episode 28 is a really good time tbqh. And anytime he mocks people by imitating them. ALSO whenever he argues with Rantaro, of course. When he gets along with people for a change.That Wakiya has lots of good moments.Idea for a story:WELL there’s that prince AU we discussed that one time. Wherein Wakiya is an unhappy prince in a tower, and rescue/escape shenanigans take place with regular-civilian Hoji and son-of-a-guard Rantaro. (Yes all of my ideas are 100% self-indulgent don’t look at me like that.)I actually would love to write smth with it one day, if I can figure out how to multi-chapter fic again….Unpopular opinion:I was going to say that I think he’s way too popular in general but I don’t really mind thatFavorite relationship:KumiWaki or WakiHoji, I love them both so much.Favorite headcanon:Hoji’s parents treat him like just another one of their kids when he comes over - albeit more formal, but it’s easier to drop the “young master” when he’s staying at their house for dinner and the like.…I p much really love any headcanon dealing with Wakiya+found family (whether it be Hoji, BeyClub, the staff at his house, etc), bc I wish the show dealt more with his constantly absent parents/need to make his dad proud.

Naoki!First impression:

Impression now:Not as annoyed with him as I was at first. Like, I want to protect him now. I usually hate his character type, tbh, but BeyBurst does a really good job of making me care about characters when I ordinarily wouldn’t, bc everyone is just A Good Kid deep down. Like. He’s just lonely… Someone please be his friend…Favorite moment:

Idea for a story:Naoki Makes FriendsUnpopular opinion:Idk if anyone even thought it was accurate but his calculations about who has the most influence over Valt are SUPER WRONGFavorite relationship:??? I haven’t thought about it, but now that I’m thinking about it, I want to see him interact with Team Beasts. Kensuke, Ben, and the rest would be good for himFavorite headcanon:He becomes a regular at Valt’s mom’s bread shop/bakery.

Ukyo!First impression:That his introduction was hilarious (newsflash Ukyo’s been here the whole time) and also that his bey was really nice colors.Impression now:Nerd. Probably does the Naruto run. Very pretty hair and less insufferable than I assumed. :’DFavorite moment:The scene where Daina is like “stop just showing up behind me” and Ukyo is just like “LIKE THIS?” as he shows up behind Daina. Comedy gold.Also when he’s just casually fixing Quon’s skateboard?? He’s Sword Flames’ resident handyman I guess.Idea for a story:¯\_(ツ)_/¯Unpopular opinion:Yugo Is CoolerFavorite relationship:SWORD FLAMES IS A GOOD TEAM. When he and Yugo stand around talking about people gives me life.Favorite headcanon:he wears heelys

Quon!First impression:Sk8er Boi, very talented, with pretty eyesImpression now:Same as above, tbh. He’s a good kid!! Quetzalcoatl is cool.Favorite moment:The scene where he lets Valt try out his skateboard is cute. I also love how his bey can also do Cool Skater Tricks, just like him.Idea for a story:Something about his training journey would be fun.Unpopular opinion:???Favorite relationship:I really want to see him interact with the other members of Sword Flames more.Favorite headcanon:He likes snakes!

Xhaka!First impression:A Large FriendI loved him right off the bat, tho I think his pointy teeth had me worried that he’d turn out to not be as nice as I was hoping? Glad that was dispelled pretty quick.Impression now:I STILL LOVE HIM, HE’S SO GOOD, WHAT A KIND SOULFavorite moment:*sobs* when he says nice things to Kumicho,,,Also that part where he’s just…exercising in a tree like

what’s up guysAH, and when he carries Tokonatsu and Nika around!! Cute!!Idea for a story:A collection of one-shots where Xhaka goes around picking people up for various reasons (to help them reach smth, gave too enthusiastic of a hug, etc)Unpopular opinion:He’s my personal favorite spin emperor, and I’m mad he got knocked out of the tournament before any of the others…bc now everyone’s like “so he doesn’t count as a spin emperor anymore right” and I’m like…rude…Favorite relationship:I LOVE..SWORD FLAMES…Just the fact that he’s pretty friendly with everyone is so cute.Favorite headcanon:No matter how tall he gets, he has a talent for never hitting his head on a single doorway

Daina!First impression:He looked like a pirate so I was automatically excitedImpression now:Such a wonderful kid. A good brother and friend. So small. But so mighty. The goth we’ve all been waiting for.Favorite moment:thE CAT SLEEPING ON HIMAlso anytime his deadpan humor is a thing, I love it.Idea for a story:Daina and Rantaro and That Time They Didn’t Go To Nationals With The Rest Of The Squad.Also I’ve had this idea for a kinda cliche AU where Daina can see ghosts and Shu is, in fact, a ghostUnpopular opinion:I...I like his English dub voice. (not better than his original voice, but.)Favorite relationship:Shu, (BBG please don’t..forget..)Also his friendship with Kensuke is cute, especially in the early BeyClub days when it was p much those two thinking Valt and Rantaro were ridiculous.His place as a Wakiya Apologist can’t be ignored either.aND SOUTA, boy do I love siblings,Favorite headcanon:His hair is just kinda...Like That naturally. I mean, not 100%, but,

....And I’m going to do Rantaro, too, bc you said his name and I will take literally any excuse to talk about my son. Do Not Feel Obligated To Read This Predictable ThingFirst impression:the second I saw his character design, I Knew(TM)Impression now:!!!!! Most important child, the light of my life, an absolute treasure, etc. Favorite moment:EVERYTHING...Well, I do love whenever he wins. And when he carried Tokonatsu and Nika home from the park. That time he trained with Valt until they got so tired they collapsed in the beydish. Those little instances when he talked to Hoji! Picking Valt up in an excited hug! Literally every time he gets mad at Wakiya! Stealing off of Trad!I LOVEIdea for a story:Too Many....including some I’ve already started that I really need to finish, oops.Unpopular opinion:He absolutely deserves to be in Spain with Valt.Favorite relationship:Wakiya and Hoji of course - and also Valt!! Favorite headcanon:When he was younger he injured his nose doing something ridiculous (like, walking into a door/wall) and thought the bandage made him look tough so he kept wearing one.Also: Bottomless Pockets
