#shit i need an actual name for the au

[waytooobsessedwithmcyt]

An au I've been thinking about the lore for for a while but still have no plot so instead of a story you get my ramblings:

(Not mentioned in this post but this au does deal with self harm)

There's two different types of gods, gods confined to one dimension and multidimensional gods. One dimensional gods aren't really important to this, but they involve ESMP s2 Joel, s1 Lizzie and Jimmy, Aeor and Exor, Santa Perla, etc.

The only really important ones in this au are the multi dimensional ones, which there are three types of. Watchers and Listeners like normal, but also a third type that's based on Gem's ESMP s2 character called Walkers. As the name suggests, Walkers can move between worlds to carry out the Watchers will.

There's three gods on the traffic smp, Grian is a rebel Watcher, Martyn is a Listener, and Gem is an escaped Walker. All Walkers are wolf hybrids because they're kind of seen as guard dogs to the Watchers, it's basically a cult to be honest.

Gem and Grian didn't grow up together, but after he ran away, Gem was assigned to keep an eye on him, and that's how she got on Hermitcraft. Grian pretty much took one look at her and said "is anyone going to get her therapy?" When Grian heard she was being put into the life series and that the theme of the series was basically the Watchers giving orders, he saw a chance to help her escape their grasp. The Boogeyman task was specifically made for her so see how evil they were, he didn't count on how good she was at following directions.

Martyn is a Listener, unlike Walkers, Listeners are completely separate from the Watchers. Martyn was sent to keep the life series chaotic for the purposes of making sure it ends and the people aren't stuck in the Watcher's world forever.

I'm honestly obsessed with the whole "existing just to serve other people" thing right now. For her entire immortal life, Gem was taught to completely disregard her own emotions, the idea of even considering herself, much less prioritizing herself is such a foreign concept to her.

I kinda want to rant about how Grian and Gem grew up more because they're so traumatized so if someone could conveniently send me an ask about that I would be forever in your debt /j (I'm going to make the post either way because this is my blog and I get to talk to myself on here)

Lilith undying love

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been a bit busy and mostly lacked the motivation to draw. This comic is based on how I play Cult of the Lamb, but with a twist (the only thing I'm keeping is naming followers after different types of flowers. It's chaotic when you think you haven't named one 'Dragon's Breath,' only to find three of them with the same name, lol). It's going to be like Undertale, where the main character's gender is based on the player's.

Now a bit of inside of my character.

Lilith, the second oldest of a triplet, was raised in a small camp where a few remaining lambs lived. One day, while searching beyond the safety of the camp for her older twin brother, she found him picking berries. As they made their way back, the bishops' guards ambushed the camp, slaughtering everyone, including their youngest sibling, Laaibah. Lilith and her brother managed to escape, but as they fled, he mysteriously vanished without a trace. Desperate and searching for him, Lilith was suddenly ambushed and knocked unconscious by the guards…

Theon and Asha had to be separated as children for the realms sake. their bond would have been detrimental to the realm otherwise.

the bi on bi hostility would have killed everyone within a five mile radius. the big sister/little brother rivalry would have taken lives of anyone who came between them. they would kill for each other one second and attempt to murder each other the next.

they'd be the biggest shit talkers on the iron isles. the side eye would be insane. they'd gossip about someone to their face with no shame. they'd spread rumours like wildfire.

no one would be able to stop them.

some bobbles (+ two unfinished things)

[spoilthevines]

my brain has chosen to combine two of my biggest hyperfixations of recent years and i am now sitting on a beautiful beautiful concept for an rdr2 au set in the 90s hardcore scene in california*

no but imagine dutch as a manager of a diy hardcore band in the age of every major label suddenly looking to sign the next nirvana and promising the world to bands only then to fuck them over beyond belief and try to make them marketable according to what the labels think is marketable (make micah the pushy label a&r)

mix that with the rise of nu metal and the toxic cis het masculinity of it all and how certain bands literally split up because they couldn't handle their queerer weirder audiences get fucked up at festivals by the nu metal bros

make arthur the frontman (javier is lead guitar, john is bass, bill is fhe drummer) who is very uncomfortable with all this on multiple levels

and i haven't settled on the plot wheels yet but charles is either hired into this as a tech (even though he's a really fucking good musician), OR arthur used to do rhythm guitar as well but now they want him to focus more on performance and "arthur will you stop hiding behind that guitar of yours already" and charles is a session musician they hired for a tour to play arthur's rhythm guitar parts

and we are really fucking golden

don't even get me started about how easy would it be to borrow from larry livermore + green day biography to explain why arthur and john have been around for so long

or on the opportunities for all the side characters (o'driscolls and colm easily morph into a version of epitaph records and brett gurewitz and rancid which makes it easy to draw another link between brody dalle and sadie)

* not in the historic precision sense but in a vague rockstar sense because i have no intention of actually being accurate or figuring out how these characters would fit into the existing dynamic of the scene

Soulmates AU in which when your soulmate is in a situation that can result in their death you get to see through their eyes. Like, I don't know how to explain this- it kind of flashes between what you see and what your soulmate sees. You know those edits where there's a scene going on and there's another one faded in the background happening at the same time? Similar to that. The idea is that you get to see what your soulmate sees too, on top of what you're seeing.

Now, this AU but JeanMarco. With Marco asking the others where's Jean, just for him to start seeing a corpse right in front of his eyes not even a second after asking. Seeing through Jean's eyes as he's trying to get hold of that gear and stuff. And once Jean's safe, once it clicks that you know his best friend is his soulmate Marco can't wait for them to graduate so he can you know tell him that.

Then, you know. That happens. And Jean is so fucking confused because he keeps seeing Annie crying, looking down on him. Only when Annie starts getting off the gear, when his soulmate starts moving around trying to get away he starts panicking, starts moving around faster than before. And maybe he's too late. Or maybe he shows up in time and kills the titan. I don't know. That's not where I'm trying to get, but to the second option AKA Marco pulling an UNO reverse on Annie because he's a smart sneaky bastard like that and being like 'Hey you can't kill me, my soulmate will know it was you' which makes her stop trying to take off his gear. Reiner keeps telling her to do it, Bertholdt keeps yelling about that titan coming closer, but Annie... she has seen things, at some point. Flashes of moments that weren't hers, happening right in Trost- right in that moment. And she didn't give them too much thought until that moment, until it got confirmed that it has nothing to do with her titan powers.

'What do you mean by that?' she asks, because she needs to know more. Because she wants to know more. And Marco starts explaining how it works. Tells them that he has found his soulmate, that they will put all the blame on them for his death. Reiner doesn't believe him, keeps insisting that he's playing them around - he, and anyone born and raised on Marley, has never heard of something like that before, it doesn't exist - but Annie tells him to shut up and to let Marco go. Cue to the plot of any fic in which Marco doesn't straight up die after finding up their secret.

Anyway I don't know man, just,,, We need more soulmate aus for JeanMarco. That's an order.

also like if ur going to publish derivative fiction im sorry but it has to be good. u actually have to do something interesting with it u can’t just google a bunch of tropes, make the characters do them and call it a day like at that point just do fic prompts I guarantee it will be better in the long run bc u won’t have to inevitably get cancelled for review bombing books that ppl actually had to use their brains for

[echo-bouquet]

Okay, so the one time I'm not really trying I actually draw a decent piece of artwork? Fine, be that way.

Anywho, meet Ash of Blue Maiden, one of the many Links from my still-as-of-yet-unnamed-AU. One of the first I designed and finished, and one of my favorites to play around with.

(Also I don't consider this drawing to be a good rep of his personality, this was just the best drawing I made so far)

me watching the 254th haikyuu tiktok skit on my fyp today

[sailing-through-hawkins]

hihihi! so many interesting options to choose from ah! let’s go withhh 5. Future Dreams!! (for wip wed!) -@a-little-unsteddie 🌼

thank you ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆ and an excellent choice!!! for context, the idea is that steve gets weird dreams where he'd see himself - an older self. he gets short convos with Future Steve who would always give his past-self advice or names of people to look out for (both positive or negative). most of the time, the dreams happened whenever something big happened to Steve. this whole au stemmed from me wanting Steve in the Scoops uniform to somehow meet Steve in the battle vest because they have such different energies and now we have this (～￣▽￣)～ below is the dream he gets right before all the upside down shit goes down:

It took some time, but it got easier to see himself from the outside when it meant he had someone to guide him, even if it was only ever himself.

But this?

This version of Steve is bloodied, bruised and has a mangled baseball bat in his hand that's so caked in violence, he feels queasy in his dreams for very first time.

"You're gonna wanna run." He says in a steely voice. Steve straightens his back, ignoring the echo of his father's disappointed tone. This is different, he thinks. "Hell, you're gonna run. But you stop. You stop halfway and when you do," his future self grits his teeth and steps closer into his space, poking his shoulder. Steve idly notices he must have had some kind of growth spurt after stopping halfway. "You turn around. You fucking run back and stick around, do you understand me?"

Steve swallows and nods, unable to ignore the ghost of his father's everything that shadows his future, who's expression turns stricken. Maybe he noticed it too.

And then Steve is running from the Byers' house and he's right there, the car is right there but he looks back.

He sticks around.

and also a bonus part because i loved this au when i first wrote it, here is post-starcourt steve dreaming of season 4 steve:

"You look like shit."

Steve chuckles, not bothering to lift his head up. God, this is his whole life, isn't it? Warnings and forethought but not smart enough fucking thoughts -

"Hey -" Future Steve says sharply. Steve flinches, his head throbs completely in sync with the thumps of the landscape around them. "Look up, dingus."

It takes some effort and extra breathing but eventually he does. And...

"We're okay." Future Steve says softly, one hand dragging up and down the other arm. That's such a comfortable looking sweater. And he likes yellow. He really likes yellow, Steve decides. "We make it out okay."

"How many times do we have to make it out, man?" Steve coughs. At least he's not in the sailor uniform at this point. Considering that Scoops has burned down, there isn't much point in having it but he still keeps it tucked away in his closet. For the memories. The good ones. "Starting to get tired of all the..." He waves his hand and hopes Future Steve gets it because fuck, this sucks.

There's no answer. And Steve knows they're not even close to being tired yet.

Thinking about how the official White Fang uniform is red, white, and black, but Yang is the one to help Blake end racism 🙃🙃🙃

[milkiedimitrescu]

Get this post to at least 20 like's and I will make this a comic series. 🙂 I know it won't, but at least try to pls 🥺

This is a dumb AU but I come up with random things ok

[majorshatterandhare]

Apparently my brain really hates when names have A, U, and R in them, because without fail, every time I go to type Arthur my brain wants to spell it “Aurthur” or perhaps “Aurthr” and every time I go to type Marius my brain wants to type “Mauris” or maybe “Maurius” or maybe “Maurias” its unclear because I *usually* notice my mistake by the end because it’s clear to me those ending are wrong. Brain just really wants “AUR” together.

[t-lostinworlds]

e.g. a tom fic into a bucky/peter/steve fic. bc i revisited something in my WIPs that's been sitting in there for years and it actually has some potential. but...the main character/love interest just isn't doing it for me lately lol so maybe changing it would push me to finish it. hopefully bc finishing WIPs? Who's that?
