Have you seen p!Scott with the long hair down?

+ Random Siren AU idea

This idea came kinda random so here little thing that I wrote.

Scott is a Siren. He knows that, and he knows that his song can do a lot of things.

From the possibility to drown people to just don't let people bump into you. The downside is that you will be “connected” to the person and will not be able to leave the victim while they’re alive as a price for the easier lure of the person next time.  Or the benefit for Scott. 

He knows that there is no way he’ll leave Fraction Isles or the close water and non-far land. 

So he uses his powers all the time, mostly for small things like getting the needed info or just to make people leave him alone. 

It took a while until he committed to using his powers. He thought one day he’d be free from his parents, but that never came. So why cut short himself on power and not embrace it? It doesn't matter anyway, it was very long ago that Scott forgot of the desire for freedom.

Pirates SMP AU Where...

Acho Denholm was lost at sea in a fight with his rogue pirate crew. A cannon torn through the belly of the ship throwing him into the stormy seas. Weighted down by fighting, Acho wasn't strong enough to swim back to the surface leaving them to slowly descend deeper into the terrifying darkness with a muffled cry for help.

With no air left, Acho gave up hope of surviving as he could see the battle continue to rage on above him. As consciousness floated away, star heard the most beautiful singing he's ever laid ear to. He feels lips on theirs and a gust of oxygen in his lungs as their body tingles with the touch of magic.

When star wakes up, he's been changed. Fins, gills, a tail, sharp teeth, and a sirens voice. The Sea heard his cries and answered in the only way she knew how. Acho was now a part of her depths for the rest of his life.

//I might do a drawing of this tbf but I legit conjured this up right after waking up so.This is a bit longer than I expected but here's some possible plot points for it!//

The Denholms catch wind of Acho's demise (maybe by someone on the crew who came for the Factioning idk) and Scott is rightfully distraught. He goes out searching desperately for an artifact that could bring his brother back but finds nothing

Alternatively, after hearing of his brother's loss, Scott goes adventuring and finds himself under the protection of a siren that never lets him see it's face

Acho gets captured by one of the pirates on the Isles and brought back to their faction base. Scott stumbles in and is brought to his knees and demands to know why the siren has his brother's face. After hearing the siren speak, Scott finds out the truth of what happened

Final note: I like to think that Acho/sirens when out of water long enough to dry off can transform to have scaled legs but they need to be in water at least half of their day

A Myth's Voyage:

Character Introduction I

[Click for Quality]

Here we begin the final pennings of the mv cast, starting off with the power trio (don't worry about them later down the line they're fiiiine)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

•~[Captain and honorary King Sausage Mythos leads the fleet of 600 throughout the War of the Isles. He's a carefree if not occasionally passive-aggressive man who uses a friendly demeanor to let the guard down of those around him but is not one to shy away from using more aggressive means to get his way. Over the 10 years of battle with his fleet, he's grown close with and cherishes those of his fleet and especially those of his own ship. After finally putting an end to the War, there's nothing that Sausage wants more than to get home to his long awaited family and the safe comfort of his own island.]

•~[Second in command of Mythos' ship, Kuervo Fang comes off as cold and stubborn to most of the crew, even if a good few can see right through him. He's got a skewed sense of justice and loyalty that even fewer can interpret & he proves himself to be one of the deadliest fighters the crew has to offer. Over the 10 years, Kuervo has reluctantly become close with his crew & finds it unfortunate how they fall into a protective, soft spot for him. Not that he'd admit it. Supposedly, not even on his life.] 🐦‍⬛

•~[Will Renais serves as a determined and caring member of the fleet. Though perhaps too forgiving for his own good, Will takes pride in being a person many put their trust into. He sees beauty in life and warmth in safe understandings and does what they can to help keep the peace when able. They're perhaps Sausage's closest companion on the fleet & Kuervo's most trusted person. Will mediates between the two to keep them off of each others' throats & has become an expert at keeping their communications steady. Over the 10 years of being apart of the fleet, Will has threaded himself deeply throughout the crewmates & is highly regarded among them.]🗺

And.. like I said, i'm focusing on Pirates smp, sooo...

The last time Acho saw his older brother, he was twelve, and Scott was sixteen. Acho was venting his woes and distress while Scott comforted him. Eventually, Scott exscused himself to talk to their parents, and a few hours later, their parents came into the house, no older brother in sight. «Where’s scott?» Acho had asked, and his parents had brushed him off. Scott did not come back that night, but Acho had witnessed a new boat that hadn’t been in harbor long take off. Eventually, the story came out that Acott had run off in one of the Delholms lesser boats, a runaway from parents and factions.. That was the story the Delholm elders would stick with.

The darker truth could be that what Scott Delholm has said to his parents would not turn into a conversation but a shouting match, one where Scott would be thrown out of favor in their eyes. And while the parents had initially had called their associates In the white cloaks to take youngest off their hands, the parents met with their hires to take eldest away while parents adoring eyes could turn to said younger. Whatever happened to Scott Delholm is mystery unto everyone but himself

Chat what if I tell you I thought of a pirates hc/au in the shower where its basically

p!Aimsey doesnt remember his family very well because they grew up with Michela and spent so much time with Michela & her family, that when ze left and became a ship baby he only remembered Michela & her family

and so ze writes letters to Michela from the ages 11-21 (when ze died, so 10 years) and recieves letters from her in return so theyre basically penpals

but they always dreamed of being pirates together and would play at the edge of the water together while Michela's father watched them; the two pretending to be pirates.

But what if I told you im throwing Guqqie into this as well in the sense that Guq would watch them play but was too scared to play with them, except for once where she did. The pirate, the siren, and the adventurer for a day. And then Aimsey left and so did Guqqie one day, and the memory so faint that Guq nor Aims remember the latter but both remember Michela.

They never put two and two together, that the little dark haired child who played a pirate with a young blonde and their best friend was the same person. Guq never took the time to put the Pirate being the same as her lover and vice versa; Aims never took the time to look at the memory and see the Siren who bares a resembalance to his lover.

The Kestrel never cared about the Kite's past; the Kite cared all too much about it.

and the Nightingale?

The Nightingale was left all alone when their story ended so many years ago.

Bloody Foam on Burning Sand

“You’re a Siren..” he muttered, eyes wide with the sickly lead-heavy dread taking ahold of his gut. “You’re a bloody Siren.”

“Bingo, wonderful job. I was wondering when you’d get there.” Scott hummed a laugh and patted away the ruffles on his undershirt. “But I’m not too fond of that attitude. Why don’t you just calm down, Martyn.”

●●●●●●●●●

I'm making an AU because I have blockfolk brainrot. If you'd like a gander, I've started a new work over here on my AO3 for sans context excerpts from a Pirates/Life Series AU. Essentially, it's the world of the Pirates SMP but with the cast of the Life Series, with a plot built off of Martyn's Watcher/Listener lore. I've got some really fun ideas for it and have a few scenes in the works. I've posted a nice snappy tense scene to get this excerpt work started. Kudos and comments and reblogs are always appreciated!

Apparently, there is a bird that is a Heron but not all herons are this bird.

so the factions are all named after birds. winged au where their wings match their faction send post

"Don't you want to be the one?" - Bang Bang Bang Bang - Sohodolls

If P!Scott won't have corrupted ark, then I want someone to write it.

Just imagine what angst could be here. c!Scott is so desperate to make himself the name that he messes with the purple stuff in the hope of finding something valuable and ends up corrupted by it. And maybe Scott and people don't notice it right away, and he ends up spreading it unconsciously.

Pirates SMP Brain worm where p!Owen froze faster during her containment with the cultists.

She's all alone in the cold cave that's seeming terrifyingly colder by the minute. Voices from the past are haunting and he swears she's going crazy on her own like this. Marnie was good company while she was here, somehow keeping the frost off Owen's fingers, but they've taken her away now and Owen feels colder. And colder. And colder.

She first noticed it wasn't just the cold of the cave when it started getting harder to move. The stiffness and the terrible pallor of her hands made it all the more damning. Something was wrong. The whispers. The counting. The freezing cold.

It all came to a head when he found himself huddled in the corner just wishing for something, anything, to bring warm back into her body. Her feet stiffened, she couldn't move. What was happening! In a last desperate ditch, Owen reached towards her captors and tries to get a word out through freezing vocal cords. Someone. Please-.

I HAVE A WHOLE ANIMATIC IN MY HEAD PLANNED OUT BASED ON THEM WITH "TWO BIRDS ON A WIRE" BY REGINA SPEKTOR

oh, and a bonus song for the lore finale, try "this goodbye" by beth crowley. yes, the song was written for the hunger games series, but you can't tell me their plotline doesn't translate well into that au

i have more songs for them btw! now, the rest of you, go vote!

[oleander-neruim]

Hello hello!! Absolutely pumped for the Myth’s Voyage AU :DD!!

What made you pick certain characters for certain roles? I’m particularly interested by Owen as Antinous 👀👀

Bare with me this is gonna be a doozy

I'll be honest. It all started with me being real emotionally attached to p!Will & me falling down a rabbit hole of associating the song "Open Arms" with him because- even if I'm not fully read on p!Will's story & character- the way I've come to view him is a relatively forgiving and optimistic type of person. So him as Polities came natually.

I also have a frequent habit of doing a thing where when I associate one character to one song/character of a musical, I start to try and figure if there's way to fit in other characters.

I believe what came next was Sausage and if I recall correctly, that was due to 1. Me just liking Sausage all together and 2. Me seeing him as the most "Captian-Like" guy in pirates. Also revolving around headcanons, others' interpretations, and maybe an artist or two's ways of drawing him. After that, Joel & Hermes as Penelope and Telemachus came pretty easy. I've also played around with previous ideas of "What if Joel was in Pirates SMP" and added in my constant Empires Brainrot ™️, that all just fell into place.

I believe Lizzie was my first established God cos. Giant fish/ocean associated person, yk. And then Jimmy as Polyphemus due to fishy relations and then I think Fwhip was actually my next one due to the "silly & unhinged" vibes I got from Epic Hermes. Then with a lot more stubborn brain storming, more and more gods fell into place as I started following an Empires Season 1 pattern with the Gods

Krow was also a fun one to workshop in cos I also don't know much about his Canon character but what I do know & just the fascination I've gotten with him, I thought he fit the role of Eurylochus pretty well. Mostly on the side of more of a survivor when it comes down to a "You vs Me" mentality & leaning more on aggressive tactics when it comes to handling certain situations. He is one of the ones I'm certain doesn't fall into complete Canon-type of personality, but I like how my au's Krow is a lot.

Now. The fun situation with the suitors and Ithica in general.

I can explain a bit further if anyone's interested, but the way my storyline worked out is that there's actually no Herons that are part of Sausage's crew in the story. They're either still on the Faction Isles or traveling elsewhere. Having said that, when I came around to figuring out Antinous, it was right when I was finding out very bare-bones about him. And given that the Heron characters will ideally be characters shown on "Ithica" I was working to see if anyone would fit that roll.

Having said that, Antinous was noted down in my "Working-Out" list with the note of "Mr. Steal your wife and kill your son" and while discussing my character plans with my partner, we started to joke about Antinous being Owen. Given her more player-esque personality, at the time I figured it'd be a decent fit- or at least a place holder- for a character who I started to think was just someone wanting to court "Penelope".

However, thinking more on it & finding out better how Antinous plays in this story, I started getting more invested in the idea of Owen still being him. The idea of Owen becoming a villain, manipulative with his charm and almost vindictive in her motives just started to appeal more and more to me.

When this takes place, it's 20 years since the rough-end of Pirates SMP, following Epic the Musical's timeline. A lot can change in a person in 20 years. Seeing the Factions fall, loves in your life die or disappear, people coming into power that you feel either don't deserve it or are strangers who don't understand all that's happened here or you feel are too weak irresponsible to handle it. It can grate on a person, certainly.

P!Owen is, once again, another character I'm unfortunately not fully familiar with, though that may change if i have a chance to watch his pov in the future. And who knows, maybe I'll workshop the story, change e!Owen's personality or motives, maybe even choose someone else entirely to fit the role.

But as it stands, the idea of e!Owen, 20 years in the future with heavens knows how much baggage and pent up anger and frustrations left on his shoulders starting to get desperate or almost hungry even for some sort of control or power or just even a sense of stability in her life just seems to be a very interesting & fun-to-work-with storyline to me.

Thinking about seeing Owen getting aggressive and animalistic and breaking that carefully-crafted facade of charm and control when it comes to fighting and trying to kill someone just. It's so interesting and fascinating in my mind, you've no idea.

And, again, I'm awfully weak to villain Owen nonesense so that certainly doesn't help.

There you have it. My essay & a half summary over some of my reasonings.

Again, things are always subject to change and sometimes I get a little Silly with my trains of thoughts but, hey, it'll be fun either way. If you're interested in me trying to explain my through process for more characters, feel free to ask, I just figured I'd keep this as short as i can physically manage. If it comes off as a bit rambling or you want me to clear anything up, you're always welcome to ask. It's technically super late for me so my writing compression might be a bit off.

Tl;Dr, I zone out to music and play "Song Association Games" too much & Owen as Antinous started off as a silly joke but now it's eating my brain whole so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

now i am imagining a pirates au where the people who have gone on the golden beard cursed treasure quest didn't get uncursed when they handed their gold in and they actually fell into the cursed sleep and got turned into zombies as well
