Lost and Found, space edition: part 2

This took me way longer than i intended, i think i’m gonna stay with two pagers from now on (but my babygirl needed his magical girl moment, ykno?)

Next I’m going to skip to technical chapter one, where Strike meets the other main characters of this story, so enjoy Overlord while he’s here

Part 1 is here

Introduction to blog

The twin flames Au is a project I and a friend have been working on for a while. It is essentially a Wings Of Fire alternate world where everything is different.

Darkstalker never happened, the war of Sandwing succession never happened, and each kingdom has its difference from canon.

this is just a fun project, it is not meant to insult or offend the author or fans of the source, it is simply intended to be a practice for worldbuilding and writing.

Tags

There are a few different tags used for twin flames stuff, and I think they’re mostly self explanatory.

Twin Flames Wof AU - general stuff for the au, will be on most if not all posts

Twin Flames Wof Art - art for the au

Twin Flames Lore - lore for the au

Twin Flames Crack - random joke stuff

Boa Created - Stuff that the creator of the blog posted, usually about Pyhrria lore

alongside the au, there is also a major storyline featured, tagged as the Ghostflames Story

Fan Tribes -

the big reason for this au is because we introduce fantribes, MistWings, SwiftWings, RotWings, and technically BeetleWings (although those existed in canon, in this au they are no longer extinct)

Requiem of the Wreckers to me is like sam raimi spiderman 3 to so many people. It’s such a trainwreck it’s amazing and my mind will not shut up about it. Rotw gets better (worse) every reread, I get frustrated over what should’ve happened and how it should’ve ended, and then I’m like “here’s what character A should’ve done here and maybe if we had more pages (screen time) we could’ve gotten more buildup for character B.” I reread it again and it’s even more frustrating but it’s so bad it’s good and fun that I can’t look away. Tarantulas did that for some reason. Springer was like that somehow. They’re in a barn. Ok. Don’t even get me fucking started on whatever the hell Overlord was doing. Hey why don’t we question the implications of this specific plot point that exists only for there to be a shocking reveal of a returning character that also uses previous elements established in the narrative? Yeah but what if we really question it? Like a lot? Is this what it’s like to be obsessed. You make an AU to carry the weight of poorly explained story elements in a trilogy-ending comic book that only so many have read. And its obscurity and absurdity makes you love it so much it becomes self indulgent to the point you get shy when you share it. It is about a poorly explained plot element that you aren’t supposed to question but I did the opposite and made it a problem. Just like the comic itself. I do not understand the grapple it has on my mind and why these writing decisions were made, why did some of these things end like THAT, how did this shit escalate. The writing in this post is as unhinged as the writing of Requiem of the Wreckers because that is what it is. Unhinged. Please read it you will not be disappointed (by what I’m saying). Never before has a comic book driven me this mad

[breakdownsbuttlights]

I have a q about your hf au if that's okay :) Does springer age very quickly as part of his genetic coding or something like that? Or was he born when prowl and mesothulas were much younger and by the time sotw/rotw happens, he's an adult?

Ooooh you exposed the big continuity error of my AU! How does Springer go from baby to soldier seemingly overnight?

He wasn't born when Prowl was younger. He's very much the product of mature, Late War Prowl, the Prowl who would try anything to win-- the only Prowl, by the way, who'd have anything to do with Mesothulas in the first place.

Perhaps he does age quickly. If he was indeed meant to be some sort of supersoldier (as I think was Prowl's angle on the whole experiment), then perhaps something was coded into his DNA to make him grow up fast, launching him into self-sufficient battle-readiness in a fraction of the years it would normally take to grow a functional person.

It would also mean, quite likely, that he would have lived a fraction of an average lifespan. Which makes his disappearance into the Timemaze all the more poignant: he slipped the leash on Prowl as well as on his own truncated lifeline. He became indeterminate, as well as uncontrolled: a child outside of time.

Autumn 2023 Anime + TV Season

I can’t believe it’s another season!

Anime

Despite a strike-filled quarter in the Western world, I still found very little anime suitable to my tastes. I must accept that, like how Vtubees and Holothingies dominate the conversations these days, that the industry has moved on without me! (not that I really care…). But boy, is it hard to write a season preview when it’s the norm for shows to have a screwed-up production schedule to the point where they spillover into the following cour (here’s looking at you, Zombie show…)

Old sketches I just found featuring @robboyblunder’s ROTWAU Henry with my Norman because they’re an awful couple

Dialogue under cut because I didn’t rewrite the original text so it’s hard to read:

Norman: Hey if I try to stick one of th’ Bendys in this, would you stop me? Henry: Absolutely not. Norman : Nice

Norman :  Hey Sam, can I borrow Bendy for something?  Sammy: Why are you asking me?  Norman: Yer kinda like his other dad or somethin? If yer gonna marry Henry I mean

Norman: Hey kid, wanna do something real stupid? Bendy: Okay! (Sammy *incapacitated*: dad? marry him? marry? propose? marriage? marry?)

[queensqueercourt]

Just a little Intro

Sooooooooooo you guys may not know me but I at least know some members from an old amino group I was on remember me. My name is the lovely Lj Draka and I am the creator of the comic series Rise of the Warriors. It’s been my project work for the past 4 years now and I can’t wait to share the story here to new faces. However, I’m going to be leaving the links from part 1 to about part 14 or 15 so that way you guys can have a little understanding what is going on. The art I will admit doesn't look good in the beginning but I am in the works of remaking the beginning of the comic so it’ll take some time. In the meanwhile, I had just posted part 21 last month so I’ll get to work on making the posts. I hope you all enjoy the story and characters as I put so much love and work into this. See yah later! ^^ -Lj

[robboyblunder]

Hey all, it’s finally time; I’m in the process of publishing my Bendy AU fanfiction, “Reeling Off the Wheel”!

Though the fiction is already finished in writing I still need to edit each chapter and make art for them so chapters will be released gradually as i work on them. For now the first 5 chapters have been posted!

I look forward to sharing this long awaited work with you all- cheers!

[kawareo]

picture from last year, first thing i ever drew for transformers - also the joke that started the whole Strikendown au. I was talking about ocs and my story with a friend and we got to the whole “haha they’d get along so well if they met” joke and then it just... went from there. OC’s name is Strike, he’s from an alternative version of Earth, and he’s way smaller than he is on the image here but again, this is old work

I Dub Thee Commander

How would you feel if you saw your entire clan, the one clan that saved you from your own home that had been lit on fire by ronin, die right before your very eyes? Repeatedly? One by one? Not just them, but the lazy clan that robbed almost all of your clan’s rewards. The conniving clan that disguised their men as your clan’s and muddled your family’s name. 

How would you feel if you saw all of them die?

...And you were the only one left standing?

And now you’ve lost your ability to join them.

[mwolf0epsilon]

I'm the anon from the sammy royale ask. This time I propose a battle of the normans, but to be fairer I'll swap out hell's studio for reeling off the wheel. The others stay as before.

Anon please stop making our AU versions fight, I'm begging you... (But also this is NOT a fair fight!!!).

I'll still humor you and I invite @robboyblunder and @inkdemonapologist to throw in their thoughts on the matter if they feel like it, since they know their versions of Norman better than I do.

Starting this disaster off with Reeling Off the Wheel Norman, it's definitely a better match up than throwing in the Hell's Studio folks because he at least experienced and survived the studio, coming out of it pretty well off in the end. I can't recall if Rob ever mentioned his height in the story, but he's got a ranch (although his two horses are technically toons) so he's definitely used to working hard, thus not a pushover. Southern Cowboy vibes, definitely can hold his own in a fight, but may not jump into an outright brawl unless he has a good reason to. In the story he's also found out what happens when he's wildly outclassed, and I doubt he'd make the same mistake twice. Overall I predict he'd be the sort to dip his toes in first, then decide if it's worth knocking skulls or not.

Escape AU Norman has a height I can call upon reliably (6'3" with a slimmer looking build), and he's certainly got an attitude that probably has gotten him into scraps before, but his weak spots are easy to find: Specifically the exposed wires, and his lack of clear memories of his time as the Projectionist. He wasn't all there and that worked in his favour in terms of coming out of that hellhole, but in a situation where he has to fight two other versions of him? Not so good... I predict he'd try to find a way around the conflict altogether, if not outright find a way to get the other two to take each other out. He's a clever man and probably knows when he can't win this sort of gun fight.

Post-Studio AU Norman is still sort of the Projectionist, so throwing him into this fight is wildly unfair. As Norman Polk my version was already a bit of a bruiser (6'11" and built like a shitbrick house from spending his youth doing farm work and enduring his father's military drills). As the Projectionist however, he's past the 7 foot mark and an absolute nightmare when set off because he was absolutely feral. Poor Norman was so used to being attacked in the studio that he's basically wired to choose fight over flight when posed with a frightful situation, and since he's got a lot to recover mentally it's still very easy to slip back into that mentality where the only option he has is to lash out and rip stuff apart to survive. He'll feel horrible about it once he calms down, but honestly that doesn't help the other two by much... At best the only ways I can think of that gives them an out of facing off against him, is either knowing sign language or having either of his emotional support people (Sammy, Susie, Cameraman or even his actual service dog) in the same room to defuse the situation.

So yeah, in terms of fairness the Sammy brawl was at least sorta not as unbalanced because each Sammy had one thing going for them (be it ferocity, experience in a fight, or generally unpredictability), PSA Norman is not someone you should throw in a fight because he won't hesitate to attack if he feels cornered, but who knows... That might be the edge ROTW Norman and EA Norman need to win against him.

What are all the characters sexualities in rotw au? Joey, Sammy and Norman are propably gay but what tabout others? (I'm not so good at english when it comes to asking questions) 🤔❓❓❓

I’ll answer this in a list format since it’s fastest!

in my au it goes as the following: Gay: Sammy, norman, edgar, charley, barley Bi: Henry, Joey, Susie, Bendy, Wally Lesbian: Lacie benton straight: allison, tom, alice, boris, bertrum

I haven’t thought much about anyone else if they’re not on the list but as an additional my Henry is also trans :D my fic is full of LGBT because I want to and why not anyways?
