#the creations and consequences of love

[unsat-and-strange]

wait wait wait wait wait in creations and consequences of love is toy soldier still a wooden puppet thing? or is it some random person who kinda just takes orders? maybe it has a curse of its own? i cant see a character like the toy soldier existing without magic of some sort. how did it wind up in some little tiny village? what is it doing there besides being marius's hype man? im thinking it used to be a normal person at one point and got cursed pretty young so it really just views it as normal, it made its way to a small town because big city would carry a lot of risk of someone taking advantage of it. marius probably stepped in on its behalf pretty early to make sure none of the villagers got any ideas and theyve been besties ever since

@rocksanddeadflowers @blazeismyname thoughts?

[unsat-and-strange]

I have doodles I have doodles I have doodles!!!!

pardon the quality I'm in the car rn, and pardon the teeth and wishbones I was trying an idea earlier

but doodles!!!! im trying to figure out how things without facial features would emote, I gave knife raph wings cause I had to. mx Potts ashes uses steam! when they figured out how to flip people off with steam it was all over. clock lyf uses the face of the clock more like an eye than a uh face so there's that. feather duster Bertie I'm sorry he can use feathers I guess????

also beast jonny :) he has a heart shaped patch on his chest cause I said so (and toe beans!!!!!!)

Beauty and the Beast, but it's the Mechanisms.

Jonny must be the beast because feral Jonny and the whole heart thing... prove me wrong.

Tim or Brian is Belle.

Rest of the Mechs are the servants in the Beast's house. With an exception for Marius as Gaston cause I can totally fucking see it. He would suck at it though because it's Marius. And also, short Marius HC.

This is probably not new. But it's been brewing in my head for a good few months, ever since I put my Mechs OC in the iconic Belle dress.

[rocksanddeadflowers]

That Beauty and the Beast au with @blazeismyname I did passingly mention Shrek only bc of the "wants to remain a beast/orge even if they have the option to be human" thing in comparison to classic Beauty and The Beast and i just.... These fuckers have the same fit too.................

Barn Anon. Here's another one, my foot is numb cuz dog's sleeping on my lap and I can't move.

Pregnant? His human is pregnant? Gabriel nearly knocks his human over when he rushes to hug her. She's crying? Don't cry, unless it's out of happiness. He purrs and kisses her cheeks, he plucks the pregnancy tests from her hands to look at the results himself. They've made something! Would it be a boy or a girl? He's torn. He's had brothers for the bulk of his life but a little girl that looks exactly like his human?

He purrs happily and peppers her with kisses, good little human, he'll take care of her as her pregnancy progresses. He'll handle all the housework so she can rest and focus on growing their child. Their little miracle. Perhaps it's not as much a surprise to him as it is to her. He is aware of a few of his battle brothers with bonded humans that are "single mothers" with little ones that look suspiciously to those Blood Angels. Maybe it is mostly his fault for not using protection when he's fully aware of this possible end result. But... this can be a little surprise from him to her right?

He rumbles as his human mutters about needing to set up check ups and a nursery. He can handle the nursery, can he go with her for her check ups?

Set after Gabriel's Valentines day special

You feel your leg bounce as you rub the barely visible bulge on your stomach. You know exactly who the father is... given that he was the last person you had sex with. Gabriel coos to your softly sitting on the floor next to you trying his best to comfort you. Oh God you were an Astartes-fucker... and you got pregnant! He rubs your hand as he is certainly feeling your panic rising.

Gabriel should feel guilty as there was a possibility of getting his dear human pregnant but he just wanted to show her how much he loved her and was this not also the greatest way for him to show his love? His eyes flick over to the nurse as she calls her last name and he helps her up.

"Emotional Support Astartis?" She says with a smile and you just nod.

"Yeah I'm a mess of emotions right now." You say softly replying as you worry about people finding out... would someone try to take your kid?

"Well you've got your big guy. Lie down please." You obey and she tucks some of those hospital paper around you and some tucked into the top of your pants as cold get is rubbed on your stomach.

Gabriel watched just cooing happily but internally he was doing his mental checkmarks... he would have to tell the acting chapter master what he had done and then the chief apothecary would want to look her over... and then the small coven of alpha legion that is friendly with the legion? Were they basically a legion again? Either way they would make sure no one suspected anything.

You gasped seeing the blurry blobby mess that was your fetus? kid? You just were surprised to even see something perhaps you were hoping to be told no it was no longer there. You look over at Gabriel and you can tell he's holding his breath his eyes focused on the screen just looking over the little blurry blob with you. You wonder if they would have his red hair...

The visit goes well as you hand Gabriel the ultrasound picture... it doesn't look like much but... you can tell it means a lot to him. For Gabriel as he looks down at the little photo. Of course, the Apothecary would be able to get a clearer picture of their child but he didn't know why... but this was something he was going to cherish.

so I'm thinking about CoCaL and um if this is anything

I get that Lyf is a fan favorite, I'm obsessed with them trust me, but I vote that they're not the only one from the albums that makes it in. Most of the important roles are taken up already, but how hilarious would it be if the townsfolk were just a large clump of people who in other worlds were tragic protagonists.

A bakery with no plot relevance worked by the Pendragons, the tavern owned by Ulysses, and Snow and Cole have been fighting over the position of governor for as long as anyone can remember. There's this one shut-in who practically lives in his basement, they say his name's Pilchard? He's never seen leaving the house except in the regular attempt to break into Carmilla's house. He's an incompetent idiot, and she actually knows what she's doing, so it has yet to work, but he sure as hell hasn't stopped trying. He's too afraid to approach her in public, though, and she thinks it's funny, so it just keeps going for decades. (I think it's even funnier if the town is all just Rose Reds, personally, but probably wouldn't actually work.)

Oh yeah. And I think the guy who led Brian's execution should be Galahad. Just a thought.

[saym0-0]

okay im not completely caught up on the thread so someone might have said it already but. carmilla totally made marius' arm right. like maybe he lost it in a hunting accident to a bear trap or smth (its especially relevant since im preety sure in canon it got crushed by his own mecha? don't quote me on that tho) then after she saved brian he was like hm. if she can build an entire body she could definitely make me an arm right. then he annoyed her about it until she relented

i refuse to be withheld by my life. singular and fleeting.

i am aware of a carnal desire in me. the maddening urge to create the divine with my hands. with my voice.

i know i am capable. i know i was born to enthrall. only the cursed nature of time instills doubt in me.

i crave to write the secrets of the universe. to sing the melodies of the dead. to sustain supper for the damned. i desire to dance with the wind and feel its mellow caress against my fingertips. i yearn to capture the ethos of life in film. i long to be everything a human has been and can be.

there is a perpetual want within my soul to create.

to drown in the creativity knocking at the cogs of my head.

[magicicephoenix]

i need to go pound joey drew into a pulp RIGHT NOW

[moons-br]

WHATS THIS???? ART???? OF COCAL LYF???? more likely than you think! So in the corner are the colour refs for them because I think the other mods/anyone who draws them would like that with what colour goes where.

ignore the fact that I didn't draw their hands and I'm kinda bad at drawing hoofs lol. I also gave them fluffy ears to match their wings because pretty! they are a Fae and not human in this au. I also made them more rounded rather than the sharp points because it makes them seem more friendly in a "deceiving you" kind of way that fae are kind of known for.

[the-voldsoy]

can someone Please explain to me what The Consequences Of Creation And Love is because people (3 of them in particular) keep talking about it on my dash and it confuses me every time .is it a mechs au ? whats the premise ? can i join in ?

[theconsequncesofcrationandlove]

Uhh... We gotta post something

[unsat-and-strange]

y'know what while I'm here lemme just

beauty and the beast au let's go thank you @rocksanddeadflowers and @blazeismyname for feeding the fire in my brain about this I have more doodles I promise but take this for now

[blazeismyname]

I WAS RESTRAINING MAKING ANOTHER THREAD CAUSE I'M DOING THE OUTER GOD'S WORK AS-IS BUT I NEED TO PROPOSE

So!! If we're going with adopted Jonny and Nsatya because I refuse French Jonny, we need to give them backstories.

MFS. WE. CAN. MAKE. HIM. KINDA. SOUTHERN!!!!!!

Born in England but taken overseas to live in South Carolina before he could speak. He probably gained a British accent from his parents, but a southern drawl which was starting to emerge around the 1700s. (Your Southern Jonny headcanon has done this, Rocks). He probably lived there until he was a teen and then was like "I hate this place", hijacked a ship, and tried to sail to Europe. This ended with him washing up on the shores of France where Nastya would find him. WHAT WASHED HIM OFF THE SHIP WAS A STORM, THUS WHY STORMS SCARE HIM!!! And also, what if his father was some kind of boater and he killed his father to get the ship he hijacked?

Then we'd have to come up with something for Nastya but I personally know less about her because I'm a heathen lmao

This all suggestions though!

@rocksanddeadflowers and @unsat-and-strange since yall are running this shit with me and I can't do it without you :)

[rocksanddeadflowers]

I know we've been giving certain characters way more attention than others (can't help it lmao) so what about Raphaella's wings? Does she have her wings (definitely I'm sure). Is she part Fae? Is she something else entirely? Did she make them? I deadass have no ideas but I think finding something other than vaguely Fae sounds fun just to mix things up a bit! (Also on the topic of Raph she totally robs graves for the bodies right. Maybe she hires people to do it too idk but that was a real thing that happened sometimes!!! Where people stole corpses (usually hired others to do the dirty work for them tho) to study the human body or experiment on!!! Graverobber scientist Raph <3)

[grillbyz]

thinks again about how asgore breaks the mercy button bc he doesnt want mercy, thinks ab how he could theoretically kill you in one shot thinks about "If a monster doesn't want to fight, its defenses will weaken" and thinks about how asgore's defense weakens and thinks about how his hands don't hurt you and thinks about how, if you spare him and flowey's dead, he kills himself and thinks about "I like Santa Clause. He's a nice old man that never changes. No matter how cruel everything gets, he laughs calmly… and comforts the people of the world...I was never an excellent leader. But i think i might be a nice Santa Claus." Thinks about---

[fuck-john-calvin]

*trembling, panting, and covered in blood of an unnatural color* I read every single piece of CoCaL lore guys
