I love doing these and thank you so much for remembering me. You’re a sweetheart ♥️
in chronological order, the fics i posted this year are:
I wrote 92 fics, over 19 fandoms, almost all of them are new for me. I wanted to spend 2024 getting comfortable with sharing my works for fandoms I’ve never written before but wanted too! There’s a lot so I’ll just share my favorites.
My fav fics of the year:
The Chaos Lives Inside, M rated; Pete/Way/Kenta (Pit Babe) : omegaverse ot3 with Way getting a better ending with the two alphas that love him. <- I love ot3, omegaverse, and characters that weren’t allowed to grow past their plot point get their HEA. In Your Hands , T rated; Jiang Tian/ Sheng Wang (The On1y One) : A fluffy reunion with a kiss. <- I needed them kiss after that finale!
Spring Fever, M rated; Wei Qian/ Wei Zhiyuan (Unknown) : sleepy kissing on warm skin. <- Surprise while Yuan is sleeping kisses

top 3 fics (of all years) by word count: All three are amazing works That I co-wrote with the absolutely prose queen @ruensroad
(89,496 words) Is This What love Feels Like? : Original Work; Rated M; Zhao Haoran never thought that he'd be the one to accept his father's lordship. But he is not that his Eldest brother suddenly dies and his other older brother gives up his claim. Upon accepting the lordship he marries his brothers, concubine, Lei Yu to save him from the woman who plots to get rid of Zhao Haoran and Lei Yu. Will there be love that blooms or will it all fall apart?
(69,474 words) - What the Water Gave Us The Untamed; Rated T Lan Jingyi has been cursed as a child to turn into a horse by nightfall. Only a few know about it and when he gets sent to be the magistrate of a small town he finds someone he just might trust with that secret. However, on his first day there he meets Jin Rulan, a lawyer that seems set on hating him.
(68,026 words) Pretty Broken Things The Untamed; Rated M He knew that he should have listened to Jingyi and not entered the cave. If he had then he'd still be in his human body instead of being trapped in a doll. Thankfully, Wei Wuxian made his curse work to where if they fall in love again wholeheartedly then Jin Ling will get his human form back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
top 3 ships of 2024:
 Lucerys / Aemond ( House of the Dragon)
Rain/Phayu/Sky/Prapai (Love in the Air)
Way/Pete/Kenta (Pit Babe)

top 5 tags of all years:
Fluff, Kisses, Mystery, Implied Sexual Content, Established Relationship - I think this is really accurate of my works.
Overall, I wasn’t happy with how much I’ve written but I am still proud that I did write. So much of my offline life has been chaos, pain, and depression. Writing helps a lot as it helps me focus on the happiness that I can’t seem to find. I am looking forward to a brighter 2025! 
Everyone else may have been tagged by now but just in case/please accept being tagged again but ignore if you've already done it! Feel free to tag anyone else you like!

✨Seven Sentence Sunday🧞‍♂️✨
Happy Sunday, lovelies! 💛💫✨
Thank you so much again to all who have tagged me! I always love peeking at your art and writing, and feel free to add me to any tag lists! ❤️
Here are my seven sentences from YWIMC 🧞‍♂️✨:
‘Remember Spring Break?’
“….” Noah blushed, carefully removing his glasses before the lenses fogged up. He remembered the evenings where Ali and him were under the throw on the couch, enjoying Baltic pastries and commenting on the architectural design of Mayan temples. He recalled Ali’s arm wrapping around his shoulders and pulling him closer as they watched Blue Planet. Noah could taste Sharma on his lips as if it were yesterday, feel his roommate’s skin on his own, smelt that sweet cologne lingering in the hall in front of the bathroom that he looked forward to every morning. Burying his face in the short silk of Ali’s shirt as the genie saved him from two deserts that week; and in both….Noah remembered just how safe he felt in Ali’s arms.
‘…..Yeah. I do.’
Leaving this tag +open and gently poking my tag list to alert of more writing. Have a great week, everyone! 💛💫✨

Fuckass Ginger Lesbian Chart: The Remaster
A character design trope I've noticed
Tumblr media
(I included Vi only because I've seen multiple people describe her hair as red even if I don't agree with that description)
(I know that Bo doesn't have a canon sexuality. I hc her as a lesbian and its my chart)
(I still need a fuckass butch and the Ultimate fuckass ginger lesbian)
(I called this the remaster because I had an original chart that I made years ago and have since lost. Also fuckass is used lovingly here <3)

As writers, let's ask each other for help with our problems instead of normalizing "the struggle of being a writer"
Being a writer comes with so, so many struggles and we've all shared them here on Tumblr several times. Few examples include, the constant hunger for validation, writers block, grammar, lack of inspiration, lack etc.
Today I want to say that the community does exist for us to get help from each other. If none of the many blogs on here touch directly on the problems you're facing, you can, for example, leave questions under those blog posts or do a blog post of your own where you HONESTLY & FREELY outline your issues without any reservation or shame.
My writing life changed yesterday, few days after I did a blog post where I confessed my weaknesses as a fanfic writer. A fellow writer was sweet enough for leave some VERY USEFUL tips for me in the comments. They changed my writing life for ever I tell you. The advice didn't solve all my problems but it certainly solved some and, who doesn't want less problems?
Someone else always know something you don't and vice versa, let's open up and reach out to help each other through the hurdles of writing.
Thank you sm again for your writing advice @a-couple-of-no-good-weeks. I hope you don't mind that I mentioned you here ☺️ I'm just so grateful

Untitled | Part 2 ->
It feels like an entity of his own, the way his blood rushes inside his body, the way his bones and flesh too small to hold what he's feeling. It feels like he's one of those poor people the alien's egg is going to incubate in, tear through him to become the deeply terrifying, shapeless, haunting monster.
This feeling is overwhelming, something he can't really name. But it's not unwelcomed. It is, in some fucked up way, like a call to him — he feels that rush of power, of trust, too. The call to his magic. The way his breaths come out calmer.
He can't really name it, not really, but he knows this feeling is the most important thing he possesses.
So it's not really a shock when the demon looks at him and only him, one arm out like he's going to snatch it without permission, a sharp grin on its borrowed face. "You," the demon beckons, and Derek snarls, protective. Derek moves in front of him, like it's going to stop the demon. Like there's anything they can do except take this deal. The demon laughs, reedy and evil, and he's sure the person doesn't sound like this; this demon has taken over completely, and Stiles doubts they can save the man who is being possessed at the moment.
"What do you want?" Derek's fang slur his question, but he's understandable, and Stiles puts his hand on Derek's shoulder, pulls him by his soft henley. They were on a walk around the preserve, a routine perimeter check, but here they stand now, in the middle of this clearing where kids had definitely messed around in and found the fuck out.
The camping bags are still warm, but the trail to the kids has gone cold. Unless they take this deal.
"I told you, wolf," the demon sing-songs, and Stiles wonders where he got this body from. The man is clearly in his 30's, light brown hair, hazelnut skin, brown eyes. He cannot be one of the people who summoned the demon, here. "I want what's most precious to your pet."
Derek's been growling all this time, but now he roars, all restraint broken under the clearly verbalized threat.
Only Stiles' hand on Derek's shoulder stops him from leaping at the demon.
"Derek," he says, concerned. They have no idea how to deal with demons that aren't evil fox spirits. "Maybe this is the only way."
And he wants out. He knows what are his most precious things — his feelings. Especially for him. He wants to get rid of it, because there's rarely anything as painful as feeling like your world tilts on its axis when you know theirs stays the same. They're friends, and pack, and that is all they can be.
It would be okay to lose these feelings.
"Listen to him, listen to him!"
"Stiles, don't you dare move!"
Stiles moves around Derek and is again in front of the demon. "Will you leave, then? Never to come back?"
"I'd do you one better — I shall forbid any other of my kind to come back here."
Derek doesn't grab him back, but he does verbally accuse Stiles of being stupid. Stiles is grateful for their relationship to have come to a point where Derek knows better than to stop him when he's set his mind, and he's really fucking gonna miss his bubbling mess of a heart later.
"Deal," he says, and there the lips come, cold and cruel; a quick, dirty kiss that leaves Stiles gasping for breath.
He closes his eyes, and when he opens them, it's to Derek hovering over him worriedly. It makes Stiles feel packed, so he pushes Derek backwards, and stomps his way back towards the Loft.
Derek follows suit.

I’ve been meaning to ask this for years and just now am. Do you mind people writing fics inspired by your writing?
I live fully in the camp that fic of fic is not only okay, but people asking me if they’re allowed is kind of strange to me. Did I ask permission to make my transformative work?

*sigh* Apparently there's yet another website scraping fics from AO3 for AI, and as if this were not enough, it is also a phishing scam, asking for personal information when authors request their work to be taken off the site. AO3 (once again) have said there's nothing they can do.
I have resisted locking my fics for as long as I could, but every week there seems to be something else trying to scrape fanfics and feed them to AI and it's just surreal at this point. I know it's not a perfect solution but I'll be locking my fics and making them visible only to registered users for the forseeable future. Just a heads up!

✨Friday Kiss Tag 💋✨
Tumblr media
✨🌈 Happy Friday, lovelies! 💖✨
Thank you again to the following people who tagged me this week: @zackprincebooks , @jev-urisk , @justabigoldnerd , and @pippinoftheshire for a WIP Wednesday tag, @alinacapellabooks for a roast OCs tag, @tragedycoded for a heads up seven up tag and a last line tag, @theink-stainedfolk for a dialogue, character prompt, and proud snippet tag, @willtheweaver for a writing share tag, @gioiaalbanoart for a mix fried tag, and @drchenquill for a proud of tag!! I appreciate all the love this week while I rest and recover 💛✨
Without further ado, here are the kiss rules 💋:
Rules: From your story/WIP, share a kiss. It can be any kiss, from familial pecks on the cheek, forehead kisses, platonic smooches, to full-blown makeouts
And here are the non-kiss rules 💚:
Rules: Share a snippet of your writing!
Here’s another few lines from these goobers from YWIMC 🧞‍♂️💖✨:
Opening his eyes, Cauldwell looked up at his lover affectionately. The black and sapphire strands of hair whipped across Ali’s forehead. His eyes, those gorgeous nebulae, looked back at Noah. His world. Those soft lips, slightly bruised from all their hot makeouts, upturned at the corners in a gentle smile. Smiles that painted adoration gleamed brightly in the presence of the two halves brought whole. They fawned over each other, absolutely taken by the other’s beauty.
These lovable dummies (/affectionate) are absolutely smitten, your honor. 💛
Leaving this tag +open as always and letting the tag list know of the writing post. Have a great weekend, everybody! 💫

TMA meets the OA
hello magnus archives nation I come to you humbly with a new fic derived solely from my own hyperfixation.
I’m obsessed with the OA tv show on Netflix and when s2 came out I went “whoa the whole alternate universe thing where you get transported into another version of yourself and are forced to improvise your way through living their life with no context and no clue of what’s going on while the other version of you lives suppressed deep within your subconscious is pretty cool”
and then mag200 happened and everyone started talking about “somewhere else” and I went crazy
Here you go!

Introducing.....The Avengers!
Hey there folks!
I'm back again to introduce you all to another upcoming work of mines.
This one is called: The Avengers.
If the name didn't already give it away, it's gonna be based on The Avengers.
The series will serve as a modern reimagining of the team.
Which doesn't like much. But there would be two elements of the series that would really help it stand out.
Firstly, this series would bring the team back to their comic book roots.
I know that sounds a little strange, but remember, the Marvel Cinematic Universe REALLY changed these guys. So much so that most people think of The Avengers as movie characters rather than comic book characters.
And secondly, The Avengers here will be quite young.
Like, in their 20s.
That was because a major inspiration for this series was "The Batman", which focused on Bruce Wayne as a younger, slightly less experienced Batman, whose only been at the vigilante gig for about three years when the series begins.
Tumblr media
I always thought that was a pretty cool thing to do, and I always wanted to see that done with other heroes.
Now that we got the basics our of way, let's talk about The Avengers themselves.
For this series, the starting roster will be taking some inspiration from the new Ultimates run, as it would feature both the original founding members of the team and few more additions.
As for who we have…..
Iron Man and War Machine:
Starting off the roster, we the have the invincible armored Avenger himself.
In terms of his characterization here, Tony Stark is going back to how he was portrayed before the MCU.
And before Civil War destroyed his character altogether……
Witty, charismatic, humble, and always looking towards the future.
As you would expect from Tony Stark, he’s the CEO of the renowned Stark Industries.
And since we’re going back to the characters’ comic book roots, Tony is now back to having an actual supporting cast.
He’s got his secretary Pepper Potts, his head of security Bethany Cabe, his personal bodyguard and chauffeur Happy Hogan, and the most shocking of all, his butler and longtime friend Edwin Jarvis.
Another thing to note about this Tony is that he’s back to having Iron Man be a secret identity and using him under the cover of being his other bodyguard and close friend.
As for his backstory, this would be pulled right from Iron Man: Armored Adventures.
Five years prior to the present, Tony and his parents Howard and Maria Stark (who he actually had a good relationship with in this universe, plus they’re his ACTUAL PARENTS) were going on vacation for his 21st birthday.
Yeah. Tony is gonna be 26 in this series.
Unfortunately, their private jet malfunctioned and crashed.
This resulted in the deaths of Howard and Maria.
Tony luckily survived, but he ended up with a shrapnel deep in his chest.
This resulted in him getting his iconic Arc Reactor in order to prevent the shrapnel from reaching his heart and killing him.
And if all this wasn’t bad enough, Tony would soon find out that ownership of Stark Industries would be going to their longtime business partner Obadiah Stane.
And for the cherry on top of this shit sundae, Stark Industries would start manufacturing weapons and selling them off to ACTUAL TERRORISTS.
As you would expect, Tony couldn't stand to see his family’s legacy being absolutely tarnished and tainted by all this.
Luckily, Tony would stumble upon blueprints for a suit of high-tech armor that his father was creating as a birthday gift for him.
And so, with his genius-level intellect, Tony was able to finish the suit.
And this, Iron Man was born!
With his armor, Tony started destroying the weapons manufactured by Stane and stopped the terrorists using them.
Overtime, Tony would eventually uncover two things.
Proof that Stane was the one who sabotage the private jet.
A deed that declared that Tony would be the rightful owner of Stark Industries in the case of the deaths of Howard and Maria.
And so, with this newfound info, Tony was able to expose Stane for the bastard he really was, got him sent to jail, and officially took his rightful place as the CEO of Stark Industries.
However, despite achieving this goal, Tony decided to stay as Iron Man because he liked helping people.
Shortly after getting Stark Industries back, he would bring aboard his childhood best friend and the other hero of this section, James Rhodes, or Rhodey as everyone else usually calls him.
Characterization-wise, Rhodey is loyal, courageous and a man of pure honor.
He and Tony have been pals since elementary school.
After graduating high school, Rhodey would go on to join The United States Air Force, where he would eventually become a skilled pilot.
After separating from The Air Force at age 23 (he's currently 26 as well), he would return home to Manhattan.
Upon his return, Tony offered him a job as an aviator engineer for Stark Industries, which he accepted.
After about a year of working, Tony would share his secret to Rhodey about being Iron Man.
It was a shock for sure but he took it really well.
And he was proud to hear that Tony was using it to help those in need.
After hearing this, Tony thought it was time he needed a partner.
So he created a new suit of armor just for Rhodey.
And thus, War Machine was born!
In terms of what their suits can do.
Both grant it's her users superhuman strength, incredible resilience, and the ability to fly at superhuman speeds.
The Iron Man suit utilizes energy as it's main mode of defense.
It attacks with repulsor rays, lasers, pulse bolts, the unibeam (a special beam that can be shot from the chest), and a massive proton cannon.
The War Machine utilizes actual weaponry.
It attacks with a gatling gun, a bazooka, a rocket launcher, a grenade launcher, and heat seeking missiles.
As for the duo's physical appearances.
Tony has slightly tanned skin, a slim build, blue eyes, long black hair with his frontal bangs from Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and a van dyke beard.
Rhodey has dark skin, a lean and athletic build, brown eyes, dark brown lips, and curly black hair in a crew cut style.
Both of them stand at the same height out of the armor: 6'1.
But in their respective armors.
6'4 (Tony) and 6'7 (Rhodey).
Also, Tony will be half German-American (on his father's side) and Mexican-American (on his mother's side).
As for Rhodey, he would be Cameroonian-American.
And finally for the looks of their suits....
Tony's would have the look of his EMH armor but with the gloves and boots of his classic armor.
And Rhodey's would be the Model 5 version.

Thor and Sif:
Next we have the mighty Asgardian duo!
One thing we need to establish right off the bat is what Thor and Sif are gonna be.
Both of them (as well as the other Asgardians) are going to be legitimately, honest-to-god, mythical beings.
I know these seems weird to really emphasize, but Marvel media has had problems of just not knowing what The Asgardians are.
The comics are definitely the worst in this regard.
For decades, they considered The Asgardians to be mythical in nature.
But come the 2000s, they've been trying to retcon them into essentially being aliens who were made into gods by humanity......
Who also just so happens to use magic and have connection to mystical forces.....
youtube
Anyway, as for the origins of the two, it's drastically different from most iterations of the characters.
As many of you, unbeknownst to most of humanity, exist the legendary Nine Realms.
And the most notable of them all was Asgard, the home of The Asgardians.
The Asgardians themselves were essentially demi-gods, possessing physicality far greater than any human.
But the most powerful of them were The Gods.
They possessed far greater physicality than any of the other Asgardians, along with special powers and abilities.
And Thor and Sif were among this group.
The Asgardians were renowned for being powerful, brave and honorable warriors.
And over the centuries, they would start interacting with and helping out humanity.
So much so that they would start to get worshipped by them.
Most notably the seafaring warriors known as the vikings
Unfortunately, this also made them a primary target for some of the most dangerous forces in The Nine Realms.
This really came to fruition during the 970s A.D. with the event that would change The Nine Realms forever.....
Ragnarok.
This event saw The Asgardians going to war against the combined forces of Surtur and the fire giants of Muspelheim, Thrym and the frost and rock giants of Jotunheim, and giant wolf Fenrir.
Those forces were renowned and feared across The Nine Realms for being some of the few beings that could rival and even surpass The Gods in raw power.
The end result of this was incredibly bittersweet.
The Asgardians manage to win and drive off the evil forces, but it came with a hefty price.
Asgard was destroyed and many of their own lose their lives in the battle.
And among those lost lives were The Gods.
However, all wasn't lost.
It was foretold that in a thousand years, The Gods would rise again.
In the year 1999, two particular individuals were born.
Donald Blake in England and Ericka Velez in Spain.
The two lived fairly normal lives.
After graduating high school, Donald and Ericka left their home countries to attend Empire State University in New York City.
Donald was going there to study medicine, while Ericka was going there to study agriculture.
When the two first met each other, it was love at first sight.
And over the first months, they would spend a lot of time together, getting to know each other.
But during their time together, the two had this lingering thought in their minds.
Their relationship felt somewhat.....familiar.
So in this universe, The Asgardian Gods were reincarnated into humans.
Thus, Donald Blake is Thor's new form rather than a persona created by Odin.
And in their previous lives, Thor and Sif (just like in some parts of the comics and in the Norse myths) were lovers.
After getting fatally wounded during Ragnarok, the two made a vow that even in death, their love would continue to live on. And when they would finally be reincarnated.....someway.....somehow.....they would be together again.
youtube
But everything changed when during their senior year, the campus was attacked by an army of rock giants.
As everyone flee for their lives, Donald and Ericka stayed back to make sure their fellow college students got away safely.
Unfortunately, they ended up getting struck by the giants, being fatally wounded in the process.
While clinging to what little life they have left, Donald Ericka confess their love for each other and weakly share a kiss.
But as they're doing so, a thunderstorm suddenly appears above them.
And soon enough, the two are struck by a bolt of lightning.
Suddenly, the couple find themselves as true identities: Thor and Sif.
With their newfound power, the couple manage to fight off the rock giants.
Once the rock giants were gone, the couple returned to their normal forms, which were miraculously healed from their fatal injuries.
Along with that, the memories of their previous lives came back to them.
However, they were each left with a weak leg.
Luckily, they were magically given wooden canes to walk around with.
And these canes would serve as the source of their power.
With a single tap on the ground with their canes together, a bolt of lightning would come from above and strike them both, transforming into their godly forms.
Today, both at the age of 26, Donald works as a physician and Ericka runs her own health food restaurant.
But when there's danger around, they always answer the call as Thor and Sif!
Characterization-wise, it's a classic case of opposites attract.
Donald is quiet, laid-back and rather serious, whereas Ericka is loud, boisterous and kinda goofy.
But when they go into their god forms, their personalities are completely switched.
But don't worry, Thor here won't end up like how he did the MCU, where he was more or less reduced to a total joke.
He knows when to take things seriously and he's still an incredibly capable warrior.
As for what they can each do.
Both Thor and Sif possess god-like strength, speed, agility, stamina and resilience.
Thor, with his legendary hammer Mjolnir, can fly, manipulate lightning and wind, and create powerful thunderstorms.
He's also the strongest of the two.
He can also charge his entire body with lightning in order to move faster.
Sif wields a enchanted viking sword and possesses the ability to control all plant life.
She can also manipulate the fertility of plants….and living organisms.
As for their physical appearances.
Donald has fair skin, a slim build, blue eyes, messy red hair, a beard, and stands at 5'10.
Thor has fair skin, a broad and muscular build, long blonde hair, blue eyes, and stands at 7'0.
Ericka has fair skin, an hourglass figure with an average build, blonde hair in a pixie cut style, blue eyes, pink lips, and stands at 5'8.
Sif has fair skin, an hourglass figure with a muscular build, long black hair, blue eyes, red lips, and stands at 6'6.
As for their outfits, they would be sporting their classic duds.

Ant-Man, The Wasp and Goliath:
Now we come to the black sheeps of The Avengers.
It’s pretty sad how despite being two of the five founding members of the team, Ant-Man and Wasp then to get left out in a lot of recent Avengers media.
And if they are included, it's usually Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne because "iT's GoT tO bE lIkE tHe McU"!
But in the series, the Ant-Man and Wasp here are gonna be none other than the originals: Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne.
And accompanying them is none other than Bill Foster, aka Goliath
Yes.....the same Bill Foster that got killed in Civil War by a robotic double of Thor built by Tony.
Tumblr media
I still can't believe this is real.....
Anyway, their backstory goes back about four years ago.
At that time, Hank was a freshman at Empire State University, studying biochemistry.
There he would meet and befriend Bill, a sophomore who was also studying biochemistry and would also be his roommate.
Not a long after starting at ESU, Hank would eventually meet his future girlfriend and wife, Janet, who was a junior studying fashion.
Yeah.....one thing to note here is that in contrast to most iterations of the two, Hank is the younger one rather than Janet.
In the present day, he's 22 while she's 24.
And Bill is smack-dab in the middle at 23.
Anyway, the two would quickly become friends and soon enough, become a couple.
Not long after they started dating, Janet introduced Hank to her parents, one of which being the renowned Vernon Van Dyne, the at the time co-owner of D & L Research Enterprises.
During his freshman year, Hank would find instant popularity upon his discovery of a group of sub-atomic particles that gave anyone who used them the ability to alter their size at will, along with granting other physical attributes.
He would named them: Pym Particles.
Hank would officially see his start as Ant-Man right around Janet's 21st birthday.
Her birthday party was crashed by a bunch of robbers, who were holding everyone hostage and demanding all of the Van Dyne's wealth.
Luckily, when that occured, Hank was gone, putting the finishing touches on two inventions he had been working on recently.
When Hank returned to the party, he saw the hostage situation going on, much to his horror.
Luckily, he got the idea to save everyone with his latest inventions.
Those being a special belt that could eject the Pym Particles into one’s body and a helmet that could communicate with and mentally control ants.
And so, with his creations, Hank was able to defeat the robbers and became the superhero Ant-Man.
For the next year or so, Ant-Man was the talk of the town on campus.
With many people wondering who it could even be.
The only people who knew it was Hank were none other than Bill (who had known as the birthday party and would go on to join Hank as Goliath after using some of Pym Particles to stop a collapsing building) and Janet (who eventually found out after about a year into dating each other and joined Hank as Wasp in order to take down The Zodiac, a criminal organization who murdered her father for his research).
Today, Hank and Bill now run their very own biochemistry research complain you: Pym and Foster Laboratories.
And Janet runs her own fashion business: Van Dyne Design Studio.
In contrast to the prior entries, we’re gonna be looking at the outfits of our heroes first.
Hank, Janet and Bill’s outfits would be pulled directly from the designs of Eye-of-Ra-X, however, they would all be wearing visors like in bahy_ibrahim's designs.
Hank has them filling up the eye holes and mouth hole of his helmet.
Bill will have a full-face visor for his outfit.
And so will Janet, along with the same helmet you see in bahy_ibrahim's design, which is obviously a callback to her classic outfit from the 1960s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cool thing about their visors is that just like in bahy_ibrahim's designs, they would each have a distinctive colorful glow.
Hank: Red.
Janet: Yellow.
Bill: Blue.
Not only that, but the visors would actually be how they use the Pym Particles.
Which allows me to segway to their powers and abilities.
With the Pym Particles, Hank, Janet and Bill are all able to alter the size.
Being able to shrink to the size of an insect, or grow to the size of a building.
In addition to that, Pym Particles also grant its users enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes and endurance.
But there is a twist to this.
In this universe, the Pym Particles actually come in different colors.
And not only that, but these colored Particles specialize in enhancing different physical attributes the best.
The red Pym Particles gives its user the best agility.
The yellow gives its user the best speed.
And the blue gives its user the best strength.
As for the special abilities of each of the trio.
Hank can use his helmet to communicate with and control ants to do his bidding.
Janet has bio-synthetic wings that allow her to fly and thanks to some experimentation from Hank, can shoot blasts of bio-electric energy from her hands.
And Bill, also thanks to some experimentation from Hank, can expand any part of his body.
Kinda like this....
Tumblr media
As for their personalities.
Hank is basically Flint Lockwood.
A goofy and eccentric but kind-hearted inventor with an active imagination.
Janet is what would expect from her.
Spunky, outgoing, bubbly, friendly, and sassy.
And Bill is essentially the straight man to both of them.
But don’t worry, he still has his goofy moments too.
As for their physical appearances.
Hank has fair skin, a lean and athletic build, shaggy blonde hair in a curtains style, a soul patch, blue eyes, and stands at 5’5.
Janet has tanned skin, an hourglass figure with an athletic build, brown hair in a bob-cut style, yellow and black lips, brown eyes, and stands at 5’10.
Bill has dark skin, a lean and athletic build, black hair in the form of an afro, dark brown lips, brown eyes, and stands at 6’2.
And finally for their backgrounds.
Hank is Italian-American (on his father's side) and Greek-American (on his mother's).
Janet is Dutch-American (father) and Thai-American (mother).
And Bill is Senegalese-American (mother) and Gabonese-American (father).
The Incredible Hulk and Rick Jones:
Finally, we've arrived at the two final members of The Avengers!
In contrast to his fellow Avengers, Bruce Banner's backstory isn't really much different from that of his comic book counterpart.
For as long as he can remember, life has just been handing him L after L.
From growing up in an abusive family, to being mercilessly bullied at school.
Even when he left for college, he was still always getting pushed around due to his short stature and meek nature.
After graduating college, Bruce went to work at a United States Defense Department nuclear research facility in Desert Base, New Mexico.
There he would meet renowned the Army general (and future opp) Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, and his daughter, Army soldier Betty Ross, who Bruce would start a relationship with.
After about a year of working there, the United States Army were ready to develop the world's very first Gamma Bomb.
And if you know the Hulk's backstory in the comics, you know how this all plays out.
Fast-forward to present day, Bruce (now 25) is on the run with 15-year old orphan runway Rick Jones, from the forces of General Ross.
There two things to note about the characterization of Bruce here.
He already has control over The Hulk. Which I know sounds blasphemous, but hear me out. This isn't gonna be like a lot of modern media, which has Hulk being Bruce's primary form, only returning to being Bruce every once in a while. Here, Bruce is able to turn into Hulk and return back into himself at will. So with that being said, you may be wondering, what's gonna be Bruce's conflict? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Bruce feels that there's no place in this world for him to belong. Which he already felt for his entire life given that he's been, ya know, everyone's punching bag. But this only got worse when The Hulk was created.
One of Bruce's most defining traits will be his compassion and maturity. You would think that after spending most of his life being pushed around and abused, Bruce wouldn't even bother helping people. But no. He always goes out of his way to help those in danger, despite his reputation. Speaking of which. I forgot to mention this with the other heroes, but status-wise, they're pretty well-known and well-regarded among the public. But in the case of The Hulk......it's a little complicated. In this universe, Hulk is seen as an urban legend, with people not quite knowing what to make of him. Some believe he does exist and see him as a monster. While others just think he's a myth. Back on topic, you would also think that Bruce would use his newfound power to get revenge on those who wronged him. But no, he doesn't. Bruce knows that if he did, he would just end up stooping to the level of the scum who've abused him his entire life. Especially his parents.
Next we come to Rick Jones.
For as long as he can remember, Rick has always been on his own.
Orphaned at a young age after his parents died, he's spent years going from orphanage to orphanage.
Along getting in frequent trouble with law enforcement.
Largely because he was, for lack of a better term, a little shit.
But that all changed when Bruce saved him from the Gamma Bomb.
Rick became a more level-headed, understanding individual.
One of the elements of Bruce and Rick would be their friendship between each other.
These two really bonded over their shared feelings of loneliness and being social outcasts.
Plus, these two really care for each other and overall want what's best for the other.
Rick wants Bruce for finally find his place of belonging, while Bruce wants Rick to finally find a home and more importantly, an actual family.
As for what Hulk can do.
He possesses virtually unlimited physical strength, which only increases the angrier he gets.
That strength of his also allows him to leap to incredible heights and across far distances, run at incredible speeds, and produce powerful shockwaves by clapping his hands together.
He also has a regenerative healing factor as well, allowing him to heal from even the most fatal of injuries.
Also, the angrier Hulk gets, the more he starts emitting a gamma radiation glow.
This glow allows him to actually manipulate gamma energy, specifically through simple bursts.
As for their physical appearances.
Bruce has fair skin, a slim build, messy shaggy brown hair, a five-o'-clock shadow, brown eyes and stands at 5'2.
Hulk has green skin, an broad and extremely muscular build, messy long dark green hair, green eyes and stands at 8'10.
Rick has fair skin, a lean build, messy shaggy reddish-brown hair, brown eyes, and stands at 5'5.
As for their backgrounds.
Bruce is Scottish-American, while Rick is Welsh-American.
As for their outfits, Hulk would wearing the same outfit from the Marvel vs. Capcom series and Rick would be the same outfit done by lunamidnight1998 for their Avengers fan series.

Well that's all for now!
I hope you guys liked this promotion post! And I hope you guys are excited for this series as I am!
The series will premiere next month with a five-episode mini-series, which would establish our heroes and show them uniting for the first time.
And the main series will premiere in either January or February.
Also, one last thing.
My ideal art-style for this series would be done by Anicomicgeek.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really like his style.
It would definitely work for an animated series.
And in addition to that, it feels pretty reminiscent to the art-style of EMH's art-style as well.
But anyway, I'll see you guys next time!
