#tallulah casey

[dark-orca-dynasty]

Here we go, the three core members of the Dark Orca's crew for this AU (Dannyboy is far more important than Tallulah for the actual running of the vessel, but he's more of a side character for the narrative).

In this AU, Finn has spent the better part of a decade growing up in a village in the Yorkshire dales, living with his maternal uncle while his mother systematically hunted down Proteus, the man behind the deaths of his father and paternal aunt.

Finn was nine when his mother left him in Heckmondwhite, and befriended some of the local boys whose mother had walked out on them too, particularly Cain because they were the closest in age at a little less than a year apart. That friendship tended to run hot and cold though, as Finn's mother came back every Christmas to spend the holidays with her kids and Cain's mother did not.

As teenagers, Finn and Tallulah bonded over having complicated relationships with mothers they barely get to see, and were surprised but pleased to see each other at Tom and Narayana's wedding. That family connection, no matter how tenuous it was, is why Tallulah ended up joining the Dark Orca's crew when her mother pulled her out of Dother Hall following the second gun incident.

Ballet warm-up Tallulah I drew for a crossover AU I'm posting on my other sideblog.

You know how Tallulah says she'd run away to sea if she didn't get into the full course? I decided to take that seriously. I also decided that Beverley is a much better shot than her mother and even looked up how dangerous birdshot is and how much damage it can do from certain distances (now I'm getting recommended videos about game hunting).

Also, to clarify, Tallulah did still get into the full course, her mother just pulled her out because she got shot. She's fine, for a given value of fine, she's not gonna die or anything, she's just now a theatre school drop-out.

from that one draw your comfort characters like this meme over on twitter

[lamarie-artsy]

1. Sometimes a family is a sad gay goth, his autistic husband, his mean lesbian sworn sister, the kid he picked up on the docks, and the kid who stowed away on his submarine.

2. Male Disney Princess raised by the kind of people who name their son Cain falls for local delinquent who takes her vow of anti-amatonormativity very seriously.

Donnie lays in bed, sniffing softly, burrowing himself under the blankets. He pulls his knees up, curling into a tight ball.

Tallulah.

Tallulah.

He missed her still. 11 years and it still hurts. He hates it.

He wishes he didn't hurt, that he could feel something other than pain, grief. People loved him here, but he couldn't see anything but her.

Selfish.

Donnie closes his eyes tight.

He sees her smile.

He hears her laugh.

He feels her hands.

His brothers have someone(s). His brothers are in love. His brothers are happy. Even Casey was getting along well, making friends, going to school, he was even dating now.

Perhaps this was destiny.

Perhaps he'll watch the younger him stop hating Tallulah, he'll watch the younger turtle kiss and hold her... Just to lose her all over again.

Perhaps he wasn't supposed to be in love.

Perhaps he was always destined to be alone.

I put this on my sideblog for The Deep because it mostly uses the lore from that series, but I couldn't not reblog it here as well.

This is separate to the other TMM AU I post here, because this one has Tallulah go to Japan as Zakuro's friend of the same age unlike the other one, set two years after TMM with chimera anima popping up in Yorkshire.

It has more in common with the other crossover with The Deep, being set three years after the books to put Tallulah at the age of 18. It also uses a lot of the same OCs, even if Tallulah doesn't really visit her grandfather all that much because she's now part snow leopard and scares all the animals. She can repress the ears and tail, it's just that it's something she can't be bothered doing unless she has to like when she's around people who aren't in the know, like the general public or her family.

Also, I forgot to mention in the original post, but Kaiko is Bridget's aunt in this AU. I'm using the MMP name for her because A) I think while Lettuce/Retasu works in TMM canon, in a crossover it's kind of a stupid name, and B) I'm writing her as being mixed and a dual citizen between Japan and Australia, having moved to Japan with her parents to take care of her grandparents. Kaiko is also a dual citizen, and Will is Indigenous Australian on his mum's side and French on his dad's side.

Cain is also involved, as an intern on the Arronax trying to get credits for a degree in marine biology. Tallulah avoids him by staying aboard Alpheus' sub when he clashes with the Nektons, saying "I'm not getting involved in your rivalry with a twelve year old,". Alpheus quickly stops trying to pick fights with Ant after that. Cain's had time to grow as a person and better himself while Tallulah's been through a lot and only become more emotionally reticent, "I find it hard to talk about the things important to me," turning into "I'm allergic to sincere emotion,". I just like the idea of that kind of symmetry of growth and descent, and I think the 'barely a girl' quote will hit differently when Tallulah's questioning her humanity. I also think Alpheus and Cain could get along, in a slightly antagonistic asshole kind of way.

Sneak peek at a comic! I described this to my brother as "jaded ex magical girl is travelling with the less favoured heir of atlantis to try and figure out what's going on with the magical animal stuff", because he knows basically nothing about the three composite media it's based off of.

This is another AU I've been thinking about for a while. It's a crossover between The Deep (obviously), Tokyo Mew Mew, and Tallulah Casey. The Tallulah Casey/TMM crossover came first, because smacking slice of life school days books into cutesy magical girl anime is fun. Both TMM and The Deep are enviromentally minded series, TMM focusing on endangered animals and The Deep on ocean health, so crossing those together was something I wanted to do too.

The jaded part comes from thinking about what the girls do when the enemy is defeated and they have to go back to living a normal life when all their friends and family have no idea what they went through, and in the case of TMM, dealing with the instincts and traits of the animals they were spliced with and maybe even an existential crisis or two.

I think Alpheus would also have similar-ish problems? Like I think he'd have trouble integrating into normal society after spending so long with the guardians, and he's obviously got different problems in general, but he's eighteen and until Ant showed up he was told he had a great destiny ahead of him, and putting that kind of pressure on a kid's shoulders is a lot to begin with. With Proteus most likely manipulating him (he definitely tried manipulating Ant), Nereus possibly being biased because the Benthos were behind the fall of Lemuria, and then both of them choosing to back Ant as heir over him... that's a cocktail for a handful of emotional complexes.

All these emotional quandaries, and this comic touches on none of them. It has an implied butt joke that I asked three separate people's opinions on before including and is about why giving into the impulse to touch the fluff is a bad idea when the fluff is attached to a 200lb apex predator.

I'm not really a photoset kind of person, but I thought I would give it a go.

The eight outer photos come from Pixabay or MorgueFile if you look up Yorkshire, and the centre photo I took myself.

Finn asks his older cousin for advice, forgetting that growing up on land and away from the pirate business doesn't mean she didn't live a weird life on her own. Tallulah, however, leaps on the chance to be the cool older cousin.

I wrote a fic in an afternoon, enjoy ✨

It's going to be part of a larger series that gives Hammerhead a Mysterious Past™, briefly talks about the stigma of accent and how to get people to underestimate you by utilising said stigma, getting diagnosed with ADHD as a family, constructing personas to live a life of crime, if you count as cousins if your grandad adopted* your aunt after your gran kicked him out for being gay and you and your mum never met said aunt before she was murdered, Cats Doing Jobs (rodent murder), putting the farm in Manor Farm, and elderly goths.

*no paperwork was signed, she just sorta moved in after being tragically superorphaned by an elderly cultist

I think it still works if you've seen The Deep but haven't read the Tallulah Casey books, much like the Tallulah Casey books still worked without having read the Georgia Nicolson books first.

3 movies, 3 books and 3 songs that changed my life (or that i love)

@slutforstabbings keeps giving me the impossible task of self-reflection lol. i tried to do a similar eras system (child, teen, young adult), but it's not perfect. watch me defend my choices below the cut ✌

i will pass the torch, without any pressure, to my beloved @solivagant-muse 💗 (and anyone else who feels like doing it, of course !!)

films

scooby doo and the witches ghost (1999): one of the movies i had on vhs as a kid. the first appearance of the hex girls? of course it changed the trajectory of my life. every single day i think about how cute it was that luna's dad ( a dentist) made fang implants for the hex girls to wear.

natural born killers (1994): i was an edgy teenager. i love the cinematography and the editing and how meta it is and the fucked up romance. and it was one of the films that made me want to study film, so i guess i should send my university bill to oliver stone?

halloween ends (2022): is anyone surprised? anyone at all? i've had other films i've loved in adulthood (looking at you, house of wax), but i've never become to instantly obsessed as i did with ends. i've never developed so many hcs and aus and possibilities for one thing. do i really have to defend this one? just look at my blog lol.

books

withering tights (the misadventures of tallulah casey) by louise rennison: there were so many books i loved as a kid, but this is one i come back to even now. it's about friendship, finding your passions, having a silly teenage romance. i'm glad my tweenie self read this book.

the secret history by donna tartt: another teenage cliché. i was actually recommended this book by my own classics teacher in college. i've re-read this book at least 5 times i think? i love it, it's passionate and dark and funny. you fall exactly into the trap that richard does in romanticising these dysfunctional people. no one can change my mind.

the wasp factory by iain banks: do you wanna read something fucked up? then read the wasp factory. i think about this book a lot, just because some of the images were just so weird and disturbing and visceral. it's blunt and brash and has no frills at all. it'll make you feel weird and i heavily advise reading some content warnings beforehand, but it is an experience.

songs:

the tide is high by blondie: the first song i ever remember liking. when i was a kid my dad would drive me to school and ask what i wanted to listen to on the radio and i would ask for this song (and surprisingly it actually was on the radio a lot in the early 00s?).

maya the psychic by gerard way: this song reminds me of a bright grey day in march with a cold breeze and a new found will to live.

respite on the spitalfields by ghost: my favourite song from the first ghost album i ever listen to (recommended by a friend). respite (the final track) literally makes me feel like my heart is going to explode, and the way the last riff merges back into imperium (the first track)? obsessed. i fell asleep to this album so many times at university, so respite was really the soundtrack to my slumber.

[teetle-time]

cringe culture is dead. long live the cringe. i'm taking a crack at that doctor who crossover idea where casey junior gets yeeted into the tardis instead of times square. future leo is coming too. things to look forward to if i ever post anything:

multidimensional jones family group selfie

multidimensional heroes of new york cities group selfie

the question of whether or not daleks and the krang are supposed to be dimensional counterparts or just really really similar in their goals and methods

figuring out whether a bifurcated time branch and an alternate reality qualify as the same thing and whether ninpo has anything to do with the answer

casey jr tries non-apocalyptic, depression't food. has preference for his dimension's 2020 pizza over the doctor's dimension's 1920 pizza

[slashingdisneypasta]

Cain licked a hailstone right off Tallulah Casey's face for no apparent reason other then cuz he's bad and odd, Chris had a 'supervillain glare' to protect Em Watts at a party, Dean completely manipulated Molly Montgomery to get famous, Hayden and (a different) Chris were both actual enemies with their respective heroines at the start, and Sebastian straight-up used Penn O'Connell for a study,...

Just looking at the love interests in the books I used to read when I was 10-13 and realising they totally set me up for the men I like now 😅XD

The books, for anyone interested:

Cain and Tallulah are from Louise Rennison's hilarious Wuthering Tights Trilogy. These are so so funny, and I read the second one like a thousand times XDD Louise Rennison also did Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging and that is also amazing XDD You cant stop at just a few pages, you canttt XD

Chris and Em are from Meg Cabot's brilliant Airhead trilogy. AHH this one was my PERSONALITY for like a whole year. I cant even explain what this series was for me!

Dean and Molly are from Sarra Manning's Guitar Girl. ... I had (have) a huge crush on their evil manager Paul 😅 Also it has a great ending ^^ 'Instead we signed to a tiny, teeny label who can just about afford to take us out for coffee, and we write songs about what we watched on telly the other night. Oh, and dark-haired boys who steal your heart away' still gets to me.

Hayden is from Tara Eglington's How To Keep a Boy from Kissing You Duo. Oh, young me thought she was gonna be sooo popular with the boys XDD And well, Young Hannah- I must say you're going to be disappointed. Not because boys don't like you, but because you don't want them 😅😅😅

Chris is from Rachael Wing's Star Crossed. This was pretty much my first x reader fanfic XD You get to be Juliet to Chris' Romeo. I was a lil more interested in the dads though... is that a surprise? no.

And Sebastian and Penn are from Nansi Kunze's EXCELLENT Mishaps. This one??? THIS ONE??? Even more indescribable then Airhead. I just, ughhhhhhhh. I think I got a whole lotta my need to write from this book.

[hamatos-talk]

So... What if I had made Pinterest boards for my boys?

Haha....

All scars are just ideas, not cannon. Once again, you can make them look however you want. They're just visuals. The tattoos are ideas for ninpo scars!!!!

All outfit ideas (other than cloaks or things that look apocalypse like) are after revival

^^ Prosthetics are ideas for after revival
