(Sunset!) Sunset!

Have you always been alone?

(Sunset!) Sunset!

Have you never loved again?

Some design sketches for Sunset, the Witch of Fire, the Flame of the West. A leaf in the wind, she travels from town to town with her trusty steed Shimmer, bringing trouble wherever they go.

Zoe, 1. Can anyone have an angel or in this case champion in history or only chosen ones?

2. Are the identities open between the characters and their family or friends?

3. The story will be like a normal Miraculous, where there is the guardian, the heroes are chosen, Gabriel is a motherfucker (especially in relation to Adrien)

Anyone can have an angel! ...as long as you can afford it. It is a very expensive sport, with expensive equipment that is designed to constantly be damaged and need upkeep. It's not for everyone.

Identities are open! ...for most. Some characters, for their own individual reasons, keep their identity secret (for example, Adrien's father doesn't want him to play so he plays with a mask on).

The story is a No Magic AU. No Miraculouses, no Guardians, no "Heroes". But Gabriel will continue to suck (see example above lol). HOWever, with the lack of magic means that many of the characters are more limited than canon in what terrible actions they can take, and therefore, are not irredeemable.

I know the original Angelic Layer anime/manga is not super well known, but it was aimed at fairly young kids, so I'm sticking to a similar tone. And that tone is This is a Game, Games are Meant to be Fun, so Everyone Will Have Fun.

A little Izumi approached her dad and her aunt and uncle. Apparently Sokka (her dad),was getting tea with his father in law uncle Iroh. With one question on her cute innocent mind. "Papa,auntie,uncle Aang." She bowed despite not needing to. She was to polite for her own good. Aang chuckled. Zuko smiled. "What is it,Turtleduck?" Katara lifted her up and put her on her lap,while Aang pat her her head.

"I had a question. All my friends have grandparents,do I have any?"

A jolt went up Zuko's spine. Perhaps it was heaven sent? Hell if she was dead in Zuko's opinion. Aang stood there nervously. While Katara tried to come up with a response. "Uh," Katara chuckled nervously. "Well,sweetie..." Zuko took a nervous sip of tea to try to calm himself down.

"And what was Azula like when you were children,papa?"

Zuko spat his tea out and coughed aggressively. Aang stood up to try to help him. Katara waterbend it out of the ground,while Aang tried to slap Zuko's back,rather hurting him instead.

"Well,auntie Azula is good now."

"Was my grandpa a good father?"

Zuko was on the ground,if he wasn't he would be laughing at this ridiculous suggestion. Katara decided to take initiativ.

"Long ago-"

"THERE WERE AWFUL AND SHITTY PEOPLE!"

They turned around to see Sokka standing next to Iroh. Aang swiftly covered Izumi's ears.

"Hi? I'm right here you know?" Azula stated from the back. Chuckling to herself. She walked over to Izumi and took her into her arms. "Good job."

Bonus:

Izumi sat in her papa's lap. "Okay,I'm going to teach you something very important. Alright,repeat after me. Azula always lies,Azula always lies." "Azula always lies."

Azula and Katara peaked through the door,an offended Azula next to a smug,teasing Katara.

Iroh and Aang were lecturing Sokka,that as Izumi's dad,he shouldn't curse in front of her. Albeit,Iroh, slightly kinder than Aang. Toph was laughing her ass off.

Hey there

Thoughts on ‘A Glitch in Time’ and if it’s canonicity will affect the Good Vlad AU?

If you’ve addressed this before, I’m sorry, but I didn’t see anything, and I’m kinda intrigued on how that dynamic would work

I have answered this kinda but I can go into more detail now since some time has passed.

I loved Glitch in Time! It was FUN; it was CREATIVE; and I loved just seeing all the characters again having an adventure together. I enjoyed the lore exploration, the extra nuance they gave Dan and the veeeery interesting future plot potential with him and Vlad 👀

It made me real happy (and sad as well) to see how happy Jack was to see Vlad again, despite everything. And yea speaking of Vlad oh ma lawd I NEVER THOUGHT ID GET TO SEE HIM FINALLY OPEN UP ABOUT HIS TRUE FEELINGS!! Happy also to see Danny was weary and didn’t trust him completely but still the ending was interesting, held a lot of potential and everyone is in a good place.

Now as for my own story; it’s interesting that the comic revealed that Vlad’s obsession was fueled by fear. I thought that was very interesting and it does make sense, since being abandoned and left in pain is probably his biggest trauma. However, I always liked and suspected his obsession was more linked with anger, since it’s connected to revenge and being blinded by rage. And that’s mostly what I’m going to be focusing on in my au. I don’t know if I’d be adding Dan or Danni into my story, especially since my au takes place after TUE but before Secret Weapons. (Mostly because the cloning thing for me was like, ah hell I can’t redeem this guy once he gets to THIS point like damn son. And attempted Jazz-icide as well; can’t forgive him for that at all :/)

Sorry for the ramble and I hope some of that made sense ✨

"he might start to walk the wrong path and work for the Hero Public Safety Commission when he is an adult" the way you wrote this kinds sounds like AM would straight up prefer to see izuku go vigilante or even villain than to work for the HPSC lmao

I can confirm that All Might would prefer Izuku to be a vigilante or a villain than an HPSC official.

[numberonepartyboy]

it kind of weirds me out when two people who abused lloyd (morro and harumi) are getting more recognized/hc'ed and addressed as his family than the actual one (ninjas, wu or HIS PARENTS). it's okay to make au where they didn't abuse lloyd or whatever but then you just write a new character.

Cozy Glow is such an interesting litmus test for die-hard bronies. I was checking r/mlp to prep a post and there’s a discussion post about how she deserved what she got and. How do I tell bronies that children should not be tried as adults. How do I tell bronies that psychopaths and sociopaths deserve human rights and treatment and support. How do I tell bronies that cruel and unusual punishments are bad. How do I tell bronies that the death penalty is wrong. How do I tell bronies that a ruling body should not have absolute say over putting someone to death, least of all a 6-year-old child.

These are all my recent google searches.

they deserved each other frfr /hj

My head canon for Plasmius

It looks like some people enjoyed my head canon about how Danny and Dani work, so I thought I would share my thoughts on why Vlad is so different from Danny.

If you didn't read my other post, the gist is that occupying the space where a portal is opening is not good for humans or ghosts, so in a desperate attempt at survival Danny's dying human body and forming ghost combined into one. As a result, his human and ghost halves grew together into a functional whole. The clones inherited this way of being but didn't have the materials to form the structure of their human halves because Vlad made them entirely out of ectoplasm and didn't feed them, so they started falling apart if they ran low on energy.

Vlad, on the other hand, was not inside of a portal when it turned on. He was hit in the face with a volatile mixture of energized ectoplasm and boiling soda (plus whatever weird substances might have resulted from a reaction between the two). This left him both injured and ill.

Vlad was slowly dying. His ghost was beginning to form, as they do. He was pretty close to dying and becoming a ghost normally. However, his ailing body found a way to utilize the ectoplasm in his system to adapt and survive by binding his forming ghost to it.

This process was not quick or neat because it was entirely one-sided. Vlad's forming ghost was totally fine by ghost standards and didn't feel any need to cling to the ailing mortal vessel it was preparing to leave behind.

Vlad's ghost half is more like a ghost whose human body is still stuck to him like a snake that can't quite get a shed skin to come off of the end of it's tail. His human half is desperately clinging to any resource that will let it keep itself alive a little longer. The halves fight each other more than they work together.

Where Danny's Human and ghost half both clung to each other for survival and adapted to accommodate and support each other, Vlad's human half was struggling to hold onto and make use of his uncompromising ghost half. It had to change a lot more and got a lot less out of it. That's why Vlad's ghost form looks so different and inhuman. That's why the appearance of his human form changed from before the accident.

Vlad would be a selfish, controlling jerk no matter what (we see this in the episode with the alternate timeline where Jack was the one caught in the accident), but he's more capricious and unpredictable as a halfa because he's constantly at war with himself, even if he's not consciously aware of it.

His ghost half wants to escape his human half and finish forming. His human half wants to keep his ghost half Trapped and exploit it. The two halves do not like, respect, or have empathy for each other because Vlad is a jerk. This means that he simultaneously has an ego the size of a continent and hates himself. This makes a volatile combination.

Vlad fixates on things that both sides of himself have strong feelings about.

His obsessions with Jack and Maddie are fairly one note. Both halves of him hate Jack. His human half blames him for his death/near death. His ghost half blames him for his entrapment. Vlad's creepy stalker crush on Maddie is the same either way because both halves are still Vlad.

His obsession with Danny is more complicated and volatile. His human half sees Danny's oneness within the self as proof that a ghost half can be more thoroughly dominated and wants that. His ghost half sees Danny as the potential source of another tool his human half can use against him and hates it. That's why Vlad's behavior toward Danny swings wildly from "join me, I can make it worth your while" to "I will destroy everything everything you hold dear."

Vlad and Danny may both be halfas, but they are not the same at all.

Danny is a healthy halfa with both halves seamlessly integrated into a complete and stable whole. There's no Ghost Danny and Human Danny; he's just Danny, who happens to be half human and half ghost.

That's why trying to separate his human and ghost halves with the ghost catcher went the way it did. Neither half acted like Danny or did as well at things because neither half on it's own was Danny. Each half was half of a person trying to do the job of a whole person.

I imagine there were health issues that couldn't be seen from an outside perspective building up as well. Little things inside Danny's human half's body that had adapted to rely on his ghost half for something or other building up. Danny's ghost half probably would have started melting like his clones without the structure of his human body to lean on if he'd used too much energy.

Danny's ghost half was quicker to pick up on the fact that he needed to put himself back together to restore functionality because Danny has never been a full ghost that didn't need a human half to function. He was able to look clearly at his current situation and realize "this isn't right," even with the reduced processing power from being only half of Danny.

Danny's human half was a little slower on the uptake because Danny has been a full human who didn't need anything ghostly to survive. He confused his current state as half of a human missing his ghost half with his memories of how big of a difference there was between being a halfa and being a whole human. He didn't quite have the processing power to realize what part of the assumption wasn't sitting right, even as he continued instinctively trying to lean on the missing half of himself.

Even so, both halves of himself at least subconsciously knew that they needed each other. Once Danny was back in one piece and whole once more, he destroyed the ghost catcher because, in his whole and healthy state, he understood that cutting himself in half like that was bad and should never happen again. I imagine that he remembers that period sort of like a fever dream: with lots of disjointed, vague nonsense floating in a cloud of discomfort.

Vlad, on the other hand, is a complete mess. His human half and ghost half are constantly duking it out in his subconscious. He's got all sorts of issues stemming from his two halves trying to live around/despite each other with no heed paid to the other half's needs. Neither half of him is healthy and the whole of him is not healthy.

If you used the ghost catcher to separate Vlad's human and ghost halves, they would fight. Vlad's ghost half would try to kill his human half and his human half would try to reclaim or enslave his ghost half. It would be brutal and vicious.

Part of the reason Danny develops powers so much faster than Vlad is because Danny is healthy. He learns and grows like a healthy young halfa should. Vlad on the other hand uses up so much energy on the internal struggle and damages himself so much with it that it stunts his growth. That's not the only reason, but it is part of it.

In a nutshell: Danny is one whole person who is half human and half ghost. Vlad is half of a ghost and half of a human stuck together in a manner not dissimilar to what would probably happen if someone shoved two grouchy feral cats into a sack and tied it shut.

[transingthoseformers]

On one hand, there's a lot of metaphors, angst, and hurt/comfort you can put into villain antagonists going through redemption arcs.

On the other you can just imagine the protagonists and kinda-protagonists with that one feral menace they adopted

Just got an au idea from a dream

wordgirl visits this alternate universe where she didn't cover her identity bc she and huggyface got separated after the crash, and wordgirl sees how happy she is and gets A lil jealous

Huggy left the planet in this universe already, he was able to fix the ship, but he never found the baby and it haunts him, so near the end of the episode au he comes back to see if the baby grew up and sure as hell identityreveal!Becky is there and they reunite, with her thanking him for accidentally crashing. When Becky returns to her dimension, she's really forlorn by the experience bc basically her life would be 10x less stressful if she never concealed her identity

Identityreveal!Becky has a rainbow dash like attitude, with a side of Catra

silly thought that i think is kinda hilarious

so i do love the reformation of discord in mlp and then his chaos self just popping in all the time.

it would be fun if they did this with more of the major bads.

but like, each of the mane six gets paired up with one OP being that tolerates the rest of the group and adores one of them.

i do not have clear thoughts on who/how for the reformation, just that more villains do and end up hanging about the mane 6. and have to deal with each other and the adventures the six go on when trying to schedule hang out time.

it leads to fights and new friendship problems to solve!

why yes, this is because i read some of the comics and because I'm binging the show. why do you ask?

(i would have loved sombra to get some reform. and chrysalis pre season 6 or pre 9 could have been really fun too. idk who else...)

but I like the idea that it would be loosely based on elements.

rainbow with chrysalis because of their dedication to their people (and yeah chrysalis is a bit selfish but in the comics and first introduction she is working in favor of the hive)

Sombra with either Pinkie or rarity

and then

flim and flam with applejack.
