#origins au

[iamespecter]

Oh yeah, I have another AU and just like the Harlequin AU, it's a huge one

For the uninitiated, Origins AU is a slice of life + action adventure comedy centered around the Glamrock cast, as they try to get by starting their own band and maybe, kicking ass. No, Security Breach & Ruin isn't canon to this AU, its it's own world (though SB characters can show up as a minor cast).

I'm pretty sure the reason this au started was because I saw the baby Monty decal from Gator golf and thought, "Why is Monty the only one with this? The others should also have their origins too" (hence the name)

These are all SUPER old art btw, from all the way back to 2022

One thing led to another, and with the joint effort with my bf @nobody-nexus, Origins AU began with baby decal concepts, to fleshed out world(s), backstories and lore.

Lots, and LOTS of em. But for the sake of not boring anyone with details, I'll summarize.

Freddy is an Alien space bear Supersoldier called an "Ursin'ul" (play on words on "ursine" and "arsenal") crash landing on earth, refusing to participate in propaganda and colonizing other planets once he found out the truth about his kind

Chica is a rebellious yet naive meravian Princess who learns forbidden knowledge to be able to walk on land and explore the world beyond the sea, as long as she keeps hydrating

Roxy is the bad girl small-time rockstar that's closed off to most people due to her upbringing, and transforms into a werewolf when full moon hits

Monty is a 9-foot tall irradiated alligator being pursued by the government after he broke out, whom wants to study him in order to create potential bio-weaponized supersoldiers

And Bonnie is... Roxy's roommate getting caught in the crossfire. A normal guy with a lot of uncles (almost ALL Bonnies from the entire franchise are related to him), and owns a bowling alley. That's it lmao, he doesn't have a secret or a superpower like everyone, he's just the average menkisser

They're always pursued by The Rockstars in this AU, all with personal motives behind their actions: Francois being forced to find and retrieve Freddy by Levi's (Lefty) orders, Clarabelle wants revenge for her eye from Roxy, Felix is down horrendous for Chica and wants to marry her against her will, and Brian is tasked with retrieving Monty.

Other variants in the franchise have their own thing too lmao, HW dlc being weird country guys, Toys being a Mafia group/Toymakers with an ongoing feud with the Funtimes, Withereds/Classics being veterans in the ent. industry, and Fury's Rage enemies aren't enemies, but Monty's friends from his time in confinement. There's Nightmares too, but they aren't a thing until the end.

I've made lots of shitposts, artworks and designs alongside Nexus for this au, and one day, I wanna come back to it and work on tweaking stuff as well as story beats. For now, I got a lot of things I have to work on first and this serves as an archive for the au's ideas.

Origins: Character Headcanons + Lore Thoughts

Good timezone!

So, here's some added development to the AU! Of course, Mystery Kids is still happening but again, I have a lot of prompts to get through

For starters, the readers are not immediately introduced to all of the characters at once; this will be split in about 4-5 one-shots (certain characters will meet the others beforehand and then do a big meet toward the end- that is all i'm going to say for now). Part 1 is actively being worked on - ft. a cross between Danny Phantom and Miraculous Ladybug, but for now- I plan on focusing with character headcanons and some additional lore elements everyone can be privy too!

On one hand, we have Danny Phantom and Miraculous Ladybug where we have Danny Fenton, Adrien Agreste, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng - and their initial first meeting during Secret Origins

Danny Phantom / Miraculous Ladybug Headcanons

~ Out of the trio, Danny is the oldest; Adrien and Marinette are the youngest (there's a year of difference between them and Danny) [author's cut: I based this on when the respective shows came out. Danny Phantom aired in the early 2000's with Miraculous Ladybug getting released sometime in 2014/2015]

~ This isn't spoilers per se, but there's going to be a case of mistaken identity when Danny meets Adrien and Mari for the first time. The rest is spoilers, and I will leave you to try and figure it out! The only thing I'm going to say is that ghosts aren't a common thing in Paris-

~ This is set in an ambiguous timeline- the only thing I will say for certain is that Phantom Planet has yet to happen. A lot of the current canon for Miraculous Ladybug has been completely disregarded- partially because I never got past... I'd say season five? (and what I've heard about the newer seasons sounds like entering the Twilight Zone-)

~ Danny is auDHD because it just makes sense- (he has dual special interests on space and inventions; not to mention his ghostly obsession)

~ Adrien and Mari are definitely some breed of neurodivergent (autistic! Adrien, at least and I thought Mari is ADHD or something- this is canon now you can't tell me I'm wrong /lh)

~ Danny and his family end up in Paris, France during the summer due to reasons

~ so far, no identity reveals beyond the obvious have happened. For Danny, it only applies to Sam and Tucker; in Miraculous Ladybug, Mari isn't willing to share her identity with Adrien (this is done on purpose as this is still early into the character introductions)

~ this is no way a spoiler, but Adrien and Danny are so going to bond over puns and jokes- (and other reasons but shhh)

~ unresolved traumas? oh, absolutely- like on one hand, you have Danny who has definitely been going through the burner with protecting his own identity not from his enemies but his parents; Mari definitely has a savior complex and is so set on saving everyone, she barely puts herself first- and Adrien, my sweet summer child- how do I explain what this kid is going through when it comes to Gabriel fucking Agreste? (author's cut: Gabriel is not a good parent lol- I'm not doing a full meta-analysis on him but he doesn't really have Adrien's best interests at heart)

~ Adrien does try to see the best in everyone, but he is wearing down from certain things- i am not going to sugarcoat things, because this is going to a different level of mature and Adrien does try and cover how he feels

Lore Thoughts + Elements

~ As mentioned before, ghosts are not a common thing within Paris. Danny would be an outlier in the equation because this isn't something the citizens have seen before, and it might take some time for them to adjust further into the first arc of the SQ AU

~ If this somehow isn't obvious, Akuma attacks do not occur inside Amity Park (as for one thing, Hawk Moth has never once stepped foot inside the city and for another- ghosts and Kwamis do not mix, it's just not possible)

~ however, citizens from Amity Park can be Akumatized should they leave or if, say, somehow- they were brought into the city but for now, do what you will with this information. Good luck

~ (implied plot elements) "In the purple smoke lies what you hold most dear; to undo what has been done, break the cycle and rewind the masked's design". (author's cut: i'm sure you can figure this one out, but honestly there is so much more coming, so keep an eye out!)

~ Secret Origins Lore / Teen Heroes AU (the name is still subject to change): as mentioned before, there will be about 4-5 one-shots before the main story releases- this may have a little bit of major plot arcs so read at your own discretion - due to the overlapping themes within the four fandoms, there are multiple sectors throughout the world that are specifically for the current growing number of teen superheroes (author's cut: the Dragon Council, for instance- among others, take with this what you will. of course there's more to come)

~ since this is only the first in the Secret Origins background- character introductions are fairly limited; and honestly, I was going to use one of the specials to push forth the lore but ultimately, I scrapped that version (but I could rewrite the version of events that could have happened: especially since I had tied it back to the New York special-) though the alternate version aside, going back to the introductions- the point is for the sectors to slowly become part of... well, let's just say that certain alliances within this piece are going to be only one part of what's to come-

(Author's Cut: As of right now, this project continues to remain a Work in Progress and of course, I'm trying to limit myself with the spoilers- currently the early stages of the Miraculous Ladybug x Danny Phantom fanfic are being worked on, and I am considering writing a small snippet of it! Without spoilers, of course!

You’re going to see a lot more for this and the Unlocked Doors AU soon. These poor kids are definitely going to through it.)

this one skephalo origins au i never started writing

i dont remember much and i kinda forgot about it.

benchtrio & skephalo centric

I might write drabbles of it later but maybe not, idk. I'm not really in the skephalo fandom anymore but at the same time-

TITLE: the skephalo origins au idk [chapters] SETTING: origins au IDEA:

Tommy is the youngest adopted son of Emperor Philza Minecraft of the Origins Kingdom. He sees a glimpse of Skeppy and Bad when he's sneaking into the kitchen for a midnight snack. Main conflict? Don't know yet. Anyways, Bad is the Brave Soul's reincarnation, kind of.

A long, long time ago, when there were no monsters and no different dimensions, it was peaceful. But one day, an eclipse happened midday. The Brave Soul stepped forward and grabbed the 14 stars from the void filled sky. They used one of the star's powers to wave off the void to seal it into a portal under a mountain. With the other 12 stars, the Soul released them into the sky and the stars grew until they shattered into a billion pieces. The Brave Soul took the last star and before anyone could thank them, they were never seen again.

Bad is the Brave Soul's reincarnation. When Philza went to the end to defeat the dragon, the ghost of the soul was following him. Phil took the egg to the overworld because he couldn't make himself destroy it. The egg disappeared from Phil because the spirit of the soul entered the egg and boom, there's Bad.

The reason why Bad named himself Bad is because no one would adopt or help him and at some point, people started to hunt him just because of his foreign devil look. People called him "bad" a lot, so Bad just thought that was his name.

Bad in this story is canonically half ender dragon, half starborne.

Bad and Skeppy met when Bad was running away, having to stolen food yet again. What could he do? He didn't know how to do anything else. Bad almost got caught by the angry shopkeeper but then a rock embedded in jewels (though worthless) hit the shopkeeper and distracted them enough for Bad to escape. Turns out it was Skeppy. Skeppy's been out in the wild too, but this time wanted to be captured because of his ability to produce jewels. When Bad's a bit far away from the town, Skeppy jumps down in front of Bad and scares the stars out of him. Bad explains how he's not wanted then they argue for a bit, Bad trying to push Skeppy away. At the end, they decide to stick together. Also they both have a really bad crush for each other but they're too busy worrying about themselves that they don't notice the other's feelings (typical skephalo).

Years ago, when Tommy's still very young, Phil tells the story of the Brave Soul. Then someone from SBI requests the story of how Phil defeated the dragon. And then Phil mentions the egg. After the story, hours after everyone fell asleep, Tommy wakes up. It's midnight and Tommyinnit have the horrible cravings of a cookie and a coca coly. When Tommy's going to the kitchens for a cookie, he sees a flash and a red tail outside the window. Then they're gone. Tommy ignores it and is afraid, even though he'll never admit it.

Years later, when Tommy's about.. 15-16 let's say. He's outside exploring and trying to find a base for himself and bee duo. A safe haven, a place where Tommy can practice flying (without the trainers scolding him for his wild ways, but he can't help it. His wings are meant for short, strong glides.), Tubbo can store is nukes and make them with no disturbance (besides Ranboo, but he's pretty much given up), and a place for Ranboo to be free without his mask with no judgement because of his genetics and their half-split face (even though clingy duo insists it looks "badass").

Tommy of course gets lost. But he denies it and doesn't admit it. He and Tubbo argue up to a point they decide to seperate, Ranboo having no choice but to follow Tubbo. Then the trio hears mobs far after they separated. Tubbo feels immediate regret. So bee duo rushes back to Tommy.

Meanwhile, Tommy's having a horrible time. There's zombies and skeletons and creepers and soon, there would be phantoms too. Tommy's cornered now, and the mobs approach him. He's about to die when a bunch of shiny shards attack the mobs and suddenly, Tommy's airborne and being carried away. They don't fly high, only high enough to avoid the mobs. Directly under the canopy, and sometimes in it.

+ The one who rescued Tommy is Bad. Skeppy's fighting the mobs. Bad trusts that Skeppy can hold them off long enough. And besides, Skeppy's skin is almost indestructible. He's tried before (reluctantly). Tommy is at first struggling but stops after a while after Bad tells him Tommy's not going to be hurt and that he's not going to hurt Tommy and stuff like that. Tommy still doesn't trust Bad much, and Tommy can't see very well in the darkness, but Tommy allows Bad to carry him.

+ Then the scene cuts back to beeduo. Ranboo: Is.. Is that tommy over there up in the sky? Tubbo: get him. Tubbo drags Ranboo while somehow avoiding all the mobs, focused on Tommy and getting his best friend back.

+ Bad brings Tommy into a small hole under a rock. It's surprisingly cozy. Tommy rushes to the other side of the hole as soon as Bad releases him. Tommy spitting out words and insults and Bad's trying to calm him and reason with him (at some point, they exchange names). Bad's losing until Skeppy just comes in and is like "Kid. We literally saved you. We can just throw you back out with the mobs or you can stay here until morning. I'd rather go on with the first option, but I have a feeling a certain someone will have problems with that.)

+ Tommy reluctantly quiets down on that. He mumbles and agreement and goes to the corner, drags the blankets Bad gave him at some point, and lays down. He surrounds himself with his wings and goes to sleep.

+ Meanwhile, Tubbo's still outside in the darkness. His horns glow a bit, giving light but also alerting mobs nearby. Ranboo somehow reasons with Tubbo with good enough reasons to stay up in a tree until morning. Bee duo sleeps.

Tubbo: im going to murder him for this. Ranboo: calm down, honey- (both thinking, but they're so in sync they might as tell be telepaths.) /p of course

I didn't look over this at all so... sorry if nothing makes sense :D

[knife-drawer-rp]

Yanno speaking of the Origins stuff, Ender Vash gives me a certain kind of brainrot. You know how rare and valuable ender pearls are? You think people going out of their way to attack a mob that's ordinarily passive and just carrying blocks around ain't gonna be something I latch onto?

They're prizes! Rare! Spider Rach has 5 pearls on her person RIGHT NOW!!! :D

Also bonus scarring of the many attempts to rip that shit out of his chest :)

I have an Eddsworld Origins AU and here's some doodles I've made lately

Tord is a Shulker cus it fits him nicely. I love the Shulker Origin, it's so underrated. There's so many possible ways to design a character with the Shulker Origin.

He comes with a carrier:]

PhanTOM as well. Buggy manns💙

I gave origins for other characters as well, characters other than the main 4. Still gotta draw more, and I plan on coloring in these guys too.

All I got on this AU for now. More is to come💅

[kritterscribbles]

I once again have minecraft on the brain, specifically the Origins mod. I’m currently playing as an Enderian but this hecker was yelling at me to do his design first. Phantom go brrrr

[splinter-sister]

I have been thinking about OriginsAU again on this blog and my multimuse one.

[thehyperrequiem]

I have

No clue who everyone else would be other than Hare as a rabbit and Widow as a spider

Nice! And don't you mean Arachnid? Because the Spider Origin is called Arachnid.

[kponyz]

Here comes the boy~

[jester-creates]

So a couple Days ago in a very sleepy state while playing Minecraft with the Origins Mod, I had this golden au idea.

What if the Pokemon Legends Arceus characters had the Origins from the Origins Mod?

(Well it was more like what if I threw them into Origins modded minecraft, but it evolved from there. I may still do that crack idea)

This au is mostly the same as base game until just before the post game and just after the base game. Then a whole bunch of people just get sick for some reason, including all the Wardens and most of the key players in the game.

Akari, the skyfaller in this au, is among the first to get the "virus" going around. She is also the first to get over it. And when she got over it she fairly quickly noticed that she had changed. That she was more foxlike, her hair color having changed color, her ears changed to that of a fox's, and she now has a tail (and also that if she stood very still no one could see her, but that doesn't matter).

So yeah the summary of this au is: whole bunch of people get the Origins from the origins Mod of minecraft (Enderian, Fox, Merling, etc. etc.) None of the Characters start out with the Origins stuff and get it after a verry intense fever. There are also vague minecraft elements now, i guess.

[roseworth]

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
