EXPLAING MY SILLY LITTLE WARRIOR CATS AU (WARNING FOR LONG POST)

HI!!! I realized that my AU of WC being able to use "tools" is sort of confusing, so i'll explain! ft extra info

"Tools" are objects that are commonly used in the clans, these items are: sticks (used for broken bone braces, ear piercing, cooking, smashing herbs, etc)

Tools can be used by any cat, however, senior warriors mainly use them, but apprentices and normal warriors can.

You might ask, "Wait, ear piercings?" Yes! Medicine cats are allowed to pierce the ears of cats, using a sharpened and washed stick, the cats desired item is then mounted onto a small stick and stuck through the ear hole.

Cats can cook, using the traditional method of using a stick and rubbing it against a rock. However, most eat their food raw.

They have a form of instruments, a kind of drums, (made from rabbit hide and wood, it makes sound from holes in bottom) A guitar, using wood and fallen whiskers. large hole in the middle.

Instruments are used during ceremonies.

Medicine cats often use water and poultices to wash out infections.

For trans cats, gender reassignment surgery is an option, but it takes multiple hours. ( over 3 hours)

trans cats are given herbs after their surgery to increase their desired gender chemical.

They also are supposed to stay inside the medicine den and keep infection out by washing the surgery sight (with medicine cat supervison)

If a cat doesn't like their name, they could change it to something that fits them more, and declining a given name isn't frowned upon.

Body braces, for joints or broken bones are a reccomendation if the cat is extreme pain (if a cat dislocated their wrist and the medics put it back, they could risk wrist pain)

Same sex couples are allowed, but a surrogate must be used if they want kits.

Apprentices do not a have "assigned age" they become a warrior at, they become a warrior when they are ready. Same goes for Medic's

Medicine cats used thin cobwebs at stiches.

Another Hades thought but I just need to get it out there:

Has anybody thought of like, Idk what it'd be called, but a semi-modern AU for the Hades games? One where the gods and goddesses are all still dressed and living like it's still Ancient Greece, but the surface world where all the humans are have moved way past that and it's the modern era?

Like, the main gods and titans who are aware of this change are Thanatos (he's got to go directly to some mortals to reap them, so he needs to go to the surface and see everything humans have made), Chronos (he's time so...), Prometheus (literally been waiting for this to happen), and Melino�� and Hypnos (I like to imagine their dreams have elements of the human world in it because humans dream of things they see, and Melinoë is the goddess of nightmares and Hypnos sleep. They see modern technology in their dreams but don't know what they mean-).

Then, all the others are just kind of confused, because they've been so busy with their own things (possibly helping Zagreus or fighting Chronos depending on which game we're talking about) that they kind of just... forgot to check on humanity for a long time. One second the humans are riding chariots, the next they're in a giant hunk of metal called a "Honda Accord"? Hypnos is looking at the lists of shades and their deaths, going "what is an AC and how did it fall onto you?" Zeus is probably throwing a hissy fit because humans made these weird things called "wires" and using it to, as he calls it, "steal my lightning for themselves to make magic boxes of communication".

Meanwhile the shades are coming in after dying talking about things like "Tik Tok", saying "Oh my God that's so cool!" "He's such a blorbo and a pookie." and "Very skrunkly." Just a bunch of modern terms that none of them understand.

I don't know y'all I think I have something here.

As someone who has been against Aemond and Helaena having any sort of real positive relationship since day 1 that balcony scene was the greatest thing ever.

[morninkim]

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.

These two turned out to be... not the best choices.

The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.

To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.

Modern AU where Tintin's editor begs him to please stay out of trouble for a little while after his latest adventure lands him in the hospital (again) and people take to Twitter to accuse the newspaper of endangering its employees for the sake of profit

@zombiemollusk I have finished it! (for my Lunar WIP-finishing game)

Edit: I made an avatar for his fake post look o3o

And here's the progression from chaos sketch to flat colors:

I kinda love how awful that original scribble of a sketch is, I think I was kinda sleep-deprived when the original idea popped into my head and it SHOWS. XD Cleaned up well, tho!

Thanks for prodding me to finish this WIP!

Hello. I haven't spoken much on the Reverse Entry AU (Modern Office + Reverse Isekai Loop AU). That changes today!!! Have some scattered (relatively long) tidbits on this AU. Mainly background to actually get to the office part of it but, yea!

If anyone wants elaboration on anything on this list, and I do mean anything, I encourage asking!! Or any random questions on the AU general!! Or just things in general!! Make me think about things I have not considered!!

Spoilers for all of ISAT + 2Hats and the like:

Mainly Concrete

The Country -> The Company.

Well, more of a family storefront, but the similarity in those two words next to each other was too good to pass up LOL.

Said storefront was run by Siffrin’s parents, and was their life's work.

Specialized in niche craft related stuff, in both teaching people how to do them & selling materials for the crafts. 

It was a very warm & homely store, and was adored by locals and visitors alike. 

A store that felt comforting to just vibe in for a bit, if that makes sense.

Loop ends up being Siffrin’s roommate after being reverse isekai’ed :)

They do not help with rent

They are a solid night light, which they try to justify as helping with the electricity bill

They also find a mirror shortly after arrival. 

Important Points

Mirabelle & Isabeau have known each other since University and are besties!!!!!!!!!

Not 100% sure of the logistics yet, but this was too important of a point to not include

Additionally, please know at some point, Isa custom stitched the scarf-shawl Mira wears to work all the time now, and gifted it to her!

He is also responsible for the fun pattern on the vest he wears all the time too!

Bonnie, whenever they are hanging around, makes sure to sneak onto Nille’s computer, and block out time between meetings for time to breathe / snacks for the others

And they also make sure to block out like an hour of time for proper lunches as well

Back to back to back to back meetings are not fun!!!

Breaks are important!!!

I have mentioned this in a different post, but this too, is a very important point to not include here as well

Location of Living

Mirabelle & Siffrin live in the same apartment complex, but on opposite sides of it

They have briefly interacted a few times prior to being coworkers? 

But Siffrin had his hair dyed for interviews for a long time

So Mirabelle didn’t realize it was him for a while, since he started growing out the dye before formally meeting in a work environment

Siffrin simply forgor

Isabeau lives relatively close-by to where Mira & Sif live, he visits Mira sometimes!!

He may or may not have also interacted with Siffrin two (2) times prior to working together due to the above point

Nille & Bonnie live around the area Siffrin used to live before he had to move, and have resided in that area for a long time

They technically were neighbors, at one point!

Odile lives closer to the office than everyone else 

Shorter commute for in-office days 

But still in the general vicinity of everyone else's abodes ofc

Hiring Order

Mirabelle has been working in the office the longest (interned two years in a row, and was formally hired right out of University)

Isabeau is next after since he got a referral off of Mira (interned for one year before graduation, then was hired at the same time Mirabelle was)

Odile was hired to replace Euphrasie (previous senior manager to their team who got a promotion, she’s now director of the regional office)

Siffrin was hired a bit after Odile when they got more capacity, since what they were originally doing was way too much for just three people LOL

Apparently, he got a referral from someone internally, but has no idea about it!

Nille was hired a little bit after Siffrin was

She only agreed upon the role if she was granted the flexibility to pick up Bonnie from school whenever

Random RPG Equivalence Hour

Turn Based Combat = Emails 

Whether it be waiting for data to start processes, answering inquiries, so on and so forth

Sometimes those turns take literal days

It happens!

Being Frozen / Damaged = Program Freezing 

This goes for any program being used

If it freezes it inflicts small damage

It inflicts more damage if it crashes

It makes you cry on the floor if the program crashes and you can’t recover any of what you did for the past hour

It makes you regret all of your life decisions up to this moment in time if it crashes, you can’t recover anything, and you have a presentation on the stuff you were working on in 15 minutes

Misc Meetings

Mirabelle writes fanfic

Isabeau knows about this and supports her in her endeavors

Odile has read some of her works, but does not know she wrote them irl

At some point prior to working together, Mirabelle & Odile became mutuals and started trading book / fanfic recommendations to one another

Odile had a brief stint as a bartender prior to working for the office

Mainly to earn some form of income while applying for jobs / waiting for prior certifications to process and transfer properly after moving from another country

In one or another, she met Isabeau and Siffrin at separate intervals while working there

Additionally, the bar is located close to the office. A lot of happy hours happen there. It ended up serving as a networking opportunity for her LMAO

Both Nille and Bonnie moved around a lot when they were younger

At different intervals, Nille went to the same high schools as both Mirabelle & Isabeau

Nille has probably worked a lot of jobs throughout high school / university

This includes working at the same place Odile worked at for a bit, they were probably coworkers there at some point.

Maybe not necessarily a bartender but, general staff

Again, this served as a networking opportunity similar to the Odile segment ASFASDASDA

Um????

Loop somehow ends up becoming a vtuber.

Loop somehow ends up being a vtuber for the company the team works under, akin to Tony the Tiger.

Loop does this vtuber gig for approximately one (1) stream and quits right after.

((loop decided their first stream was a nuzlocke for some reason. the crafts company literally didnt ask them to. they decided this on their own volition for no apparent reason. the company literally asked for a stream where they do crafts?? anyway they named their pokemon after the party. and. well.))

As I am Indecisive, this still has a chance for change! But for now this list is slightly ordered from “concrete in my mind” to “need to let simmer more probably, but the vibes are there” to “probably not but it is a bit of a funny to consider” (this only applies to the last loop segment ASDAFA)

But yea!! Thanks for reading the ramblings :)

the whole death watch/true mandalorians civil war is so weird in context because its like if a bunch of "good old days" religious conservatives got in a fistfight with 13th century crusade reenactors in the middle of an iowa cornfield
