#this is actually related to the ghost hunter modern au i just mentioned

[pbaintthetb]

had such a perfect gag of JC rifling through Huaisang's cupboards and finding a tupperware with a post-it-note reading "Not for cooking! :-D" on it and asking what it was only to be met with the response "da-ge's ashes"

except that like if anybody can't be cremated in mdzs it's nmj so like, well that's a perfect gag chucked away.

Like sure NHS can still say it but it's not half as funny if everybody involved knows it's not true

[artinandwritin]

@otwdfanfic you're totally right about that! The Ghost Hunter AU is based on Buzzfeed Unsolved (and it's successor, Ghost Files) and has been like a little spooky side thing that I sometimes get the urge to work on!

As for some basics of how it was created, back in 2020, it's the brainchild of me and one of my closest friends and we originally wrote a whole story over google docs together. We both live in different countries, so it was really fun to see that develop over just a shared document and messages.

The story of the Ghost Hunter AU is, at its core, a HTTYD Modern AU with a sprinkle of the supernatural. The pitch of the story goes as follows;

With ghostly appearances more often getting caught on camera, the world - and mainly, the internet - is becoming absolutely obsessed. Vloggers and so called "Ghost Hunters" are popping up left and right, and the most popular by far, are a group called the Gang. They have caught multiple apparitions and every video they put out seems to be holding a boatload of evidence. Gustav Larson, certified college kid and super-fan of the Gang, wants to be just like his heroes. He has recently started his very own YouTube series, called the Ghost Hunters Inc., but is still bound to reading about ghost stories instead of capturing them. However, that changes when he meets his roommate's girlfriend; a girl named Solveig who calls herself a medium. Realising having a medium on his show might bring him the big break he feels he deserves, he brings her, his roommate Liam, and Siri, his high school friend, to one of the most haunted houses in the area. However, not everything is as it seems in this house.

For some context, the Gang, of course, consists of Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins. Hiccup is the son of the mayor and has become a bit of a legend as he, in this AU, was the first to, although accidentally, capture a ghost on camera. His cat, Toothless, is always around him, even on hunts.

After some pressure from the rest of the group, Hiccup started up their YouTube series and ever since then, he has been their "leader". At the start of the story, they're doing their own thing, being more of an instigator for the Guster to go out and, y'know, bring himself in a lot of danger.

Gustav has just turned 19 years old in this AU and very uncertain of his own future. He wants to become great, like the Gang, wants to become something. However, he is not great at following rules or being subjected to them, which makes college a bit hard. He follows courses on things related to ghosts and ghost hunting, solely to feed into his dreams, but if he was honest, he'd rather drop out.

His roommate, Liam, is a top-notch student, never late, perfect grades, perfect posture. He is 22 years old and working on his thesis, which is giving him a bit of stress. He was raised in extreme wealth and is really sweet, but tends to hide things from others. For the longest time, he hid his girlfriend, Solveig, a woman with a troubled past and present, from Gustav, as he thought it would be the best thing to do - and he still isn't sure if hiding her away was the smartest idea he's had.

Solveig is 22 years old as well, and has a past filled with mishap. Having gone homeless very young after running away from foster homes, she and Liam have known each other since he hid her away in his family's home for months. Due to this, they're very close and a bit secretive together. She is a medium, as mentioned, having had troubles with this for the longest time. The reason she actually gave this information to Gustav, was because she was certain he could help her understand her gift by bringing her to haunted houses so she could learn to work with it, instead of avoiding it.

Lastly, Siri, on the verge of turning 18, is in her final year of high school. She and Gustav met as 8-10 year olds, both having gone to the same school for years. Gustav was held back a grade because of his behaviour and was send to the same homework group as Siri, where they helped each other with difficult subjects and slowly became friends. They're pretty close and while Siri doesn't believe in ghosts for the good first half of the story (despite seeing all the evidence, she's a Shaniac fr), she loves helping with editing Gustav's videos and listening to his rants about the Gang.

Anyways, that's a bit of the basics of this AU. Because it has been cooking for 3 years already, there's a lot more I could explain about it, but I feel like this is already really long and I'm exhausted from my birthday yesterday lmao. I hope you enjoyed this tho!! If there's any other questions or so, I would love to hear those and your thoughts on it. I absolutely love this AU and the world we've build around it haha

Lastly, I've got some old art from this au that I'd love to share (cuz yknow. I love exposing my old art)

This is from back in 2020 and I think this is the first ever piece of art created for this AU!

Aaand than we've got this one from 2021, for the posession era of the story! As you can see, my art was a l o t different back then.

I thiiiink that was it!

(real quick but everytime I see the most common buzzfeed unsolved memes I think about the Cato and Gustav memes you made cuz they make me laugh sm)

It's spooky season so It's time to bring back the Ghost Hunter AU!

I know i know i should be animating but pls cut me some slack im tired and i wanted to do a fun illustration LMAO

@rosiethedragongeek for the tags!! <333

ROLEPLAY MASTERPOST!

Hello all! I just thought I would update the blog with some plots that I’m really craving at the moment. Both Fandoms and originals, so if you see something that interests you, please feel free to get in touch.

Reylo: I always prefer AU’s when it comes to this ship, I think it’s because while I love the Star Wars universe, writing for it is a pain in the ass, trying to make it sound authentic if that makes sense? And I’m pretty lazy so am AU is just so much easier. Modern AU’s tend to be my favourite, with themes relating around Age gaps and kind of forbidden relationships, those are always fun, but I also enjoy just cute fluffy stories about days out at Disneyland or something.

The Last of Us/Zombie apocalypse: This more just set in the world of TLOU as opposed to using the actual in game characters, however I’m not opposed to them popping up if it makes sense for the story. I do have a very intricate and detailed character already made up for this, so if you’re craving a story in this world please let me know!

Red Dead/Wild West: Again this would most likely be just a setting than involving in game characters. Red Dead is a lot of fun, and I don’t really have anything in mind but I always like the idea of playing a gruff bounty hunter, someone who doesn’t do well with other people, who’s then forced for whatever reason to spend time with someone the complete opposite of him. Cliche, but fun!

Dramione: Dramione is probably OG ship, the first one I had that I really cared about anyway, so I always love the idea of writing for these two. The cliche story of the 8th year, head boy and girl living together has been done to death by this point, but I still absolutely love it, so I’ve got no problem with that. I also love the idea of a slightly older Dramione starting an affair. They’re both unhappy in their current marriages and turn to one another for comfort and something new!

BuckyNat: These two are just hot. Bad boy and bad girl type of relationship, and you just know they have so much fun together. The idea of a shared history they don’t really talk about is also intriguing to me, but again with this there are multiple directions we could take it. Unwinding together after missions, Date night in the city, Jealousy, drug use, corruption, there’s always a lot of options with these two.

Spider-Man: I’ve been playing a lot of the recent PS4 game recently and I’ve never really done a Spidey RP but I’d definitely be interested. This could be set in pretty much any universe, although I would maybe want to stay away from MCU since he’s still quite young. I love his relationship with Mary-Jane in that game as well, it’s complicated but very cute and you can see they really care about her, but his relationship with Felicia/Black Cat is also interesting as well, and... well let’s be honest, just hot. So I would be fine with either or those, or even throwing in Gwen/Ghost-Spider and some interdemensional crossing.

Originals: We don’t have to write anything related to a fandom, I love coming plotting 1x1 originals that are always such fun. Quick list is below

Sugar Daddy x Baby prompt

Professor X Student

Father X Young Nanny/Babysitter

Cheating/Affair plots

A/B/O Omegaverse. (This can also be applied to any of the fandom RP’s too)

Fake relationship for a friends wedding or to fool parents plot!

Pretty much anything enemies to lovers

Slice of life

Hogwarts AU

Always open to more ideas

This post is kind of a mess but I hope it can give you some idea of what I’m looking for, so if you like anything you see please feel free to message me or add me on Discord, you can find my @ in my bio!

Just some last minute things I want to mention, I usually like to include a good mixture of both smut and story. I have plenty of kinks and have no problem getting quite dark and extreme, but I’m also very respectful of your limits, so we can absolutely discuss what you like and you don’t. The last thing I want to do is make my partner uncomfortable at all. And finally, I do work a full time job so I’m not available all the time unfortunately, but when I am around you’ll get all of my attention! Hope to hear from you guys soon.

ONF in Demon AU

A/N : Is clearing idea dumps from drafts, this would be the second version of modern AU 

Hi, does anyone remember the idea of illegitimate child of Satan from here and a random Lucifer!Hyojin moodboard here?

ALSO YOU TOTALLY CAN IMAGINE THIS IN A REVERSE WAY, ANGEL AU (where reader is a reincarnation version fragment of Archangel but this one idea dump/establishment will be done for another day)

ALSO you can totally imagine it as deity AU, example that you are Zeus reincarnation but you awaken late and you need to stop Kronos for his rampage. Or even you are Odin and you need to stop Modern version Ragnarok this time. And ONF members could be tie with other Greek/Roman gods. This one will be fun should OH MY GIRL and B1A4 are tied in too. Its just idea I am not sure if I will expand this. But discussions are welcome

(There is no harm to think it as late Victorian or any other era you like, it is just I felt it is better to write in a familiar timeline as I dont want to do something wrong)

So below are just a few establishment for the AU, I am not gonna divide this into 2 scenarios so warning this is going to be long post.

Ok even though I did mentioned illegitimate or forgotten child. This is plausible for your family comes from bloodline that related to demonXhuman ancestors.

Also it truly depends on you. Making into a throne inheritance war or

Reader come of age and their soul are reincarnated royal demon (not neccesary Satan) so there are some demons/demoness guarding you from you are still a child (kinda like those 2 characters from Good omens or Maleficent)

for the above idea, readers magical heritage only awaken once they pass a certain birthday 16, 18 or 20 or 21, up to you. So you suddenly can see mythical creatures.

It could be your bloodline awakened but you are not that qualified to ascend throne or because of your human blood you cannot hide yourself from angel/demon hunter so you have your own demon guardians

Lets say you are imagining on something big world building, again derived from the establishment for familiar au, it is definitely plausible for you to have other "candidates" and they have their demonic godparents/guardians as well

Example, should you go for inheritance war type, maybe you have a distant related sibling(s). It will be fun if you, have ONF members as your guardians while your sibling(s) have other kpop groups. Presumably to name, Dreamcatcher, ONEUS, ATEEZ, PENTAGON or ASTRO... in short its totally flexible.

To add, (and this is an idea i use to draft for fake pilot episode for a homework I worked), you could tally idols and number of idols you wanna integrate into the story to "Lesser Ley of Solomon", linking your bloodline towith King Solomon (*disclaimer, loosely based mythically). 72 demons, how many demons for 1 person is totally depend on you. Whether number of demons/demoness one have on their side equals to their power/ability (or even how many support they obtain) is up to you.

(and disclaimer I am not Christian this is just an idea dump so dont start cultural bashing. again this ia just an idea dump and I am not planning to touch sensitive issues yet.)

Ok enough world building, lets move to story wise.

You could be growing in orphanage it adds more mystery of your bloodline/heritage or similar to the familiar au, living with your family but your family later died on accident. Your parents bloodline combine making you are the perfect vessel for the reincarnation or maybe its a tradition like every 100 hundred years you will reincarnate or something. Again its flexible.

The moment you realize you are seeing things was you noticed similar aura of each person appeared on similar day. You might not get to see who is watching before you actually confronted to the air that you will contact the police

You might really go file a report but after several times the police be like dear there is no a single soul stalking you tho

then out of depressed, you accidentally get yourself into accident and your demon guardian shows up.

Or, because you started to able to see mythical creatures. Mythical creatures starts to notice your existence as well. And that somewhat gives off your location to other candidates through gossiping (should this is inheritance war type of story). Then your guardian show up to protect you when you are attacked by rival sibling’s demons.

Could be you visited some witch to get your ability to see mythical creatures covered up? Recommended by a friendly non related sibling or a friend you made/could be angel?

You thought you only got one but it surprised  you that you actually got 7 (later 6)

As this was different from summoning because they are guardians either assigned or volunteered. There is no need for you to provide them anything. And different from familiar au, there is no need to leave them in your home. To ensure your safety they must follow you 247

For now I would be thinking our boys actually guards you in a daily shift. Example, Hyojin on Monday, Changyoon on Tuesday, Seungjun on Wednesday, Jaeyoung on Thursday, Minkyun on Friday, Yuto on Saturday, Minseok on Sunday. (after Minseok departs, the other members rotate themselves to do the Sunday shift)

Since their shift are like that, you sometimes take chance to hangout with them. Eating out with Hyojin, Arcades with Yuto. mostly happens Sunday.

I am thinking it might be fun which your predecessors of the throne are very eager to get the throne, you are just trying to keep out of trouble. So in another way, demon ONFs get to experience the modern human world in a more chill way, it was not just guarding you, but also trying to experience human world. You could like summon them?/keep them by your side just like a normal sibling (Especially if you are the type that grow up alone without any siblings)'

Cues in ONF members actually understand your preference and remembers them very well. So you could not help relying on them as days pass by.

You are defo gonna get an ultimate rival and a friend that shares the same circumstances as you. Maybe the first rival sibling ends up being your friend after they know you are not intending to compete. But there are some rivals are more aggressive out there.

Could be you knew a few demon hunters but they know you meant no harm and then they just let you go

It will be more fun if existences of your kind triggers inner civil war between demon hunters/angels. Because there is also some distant “siblings” of yours wish to live their live quietly but some parties does not agree of letting your kind roaming free and feeling the bloodline must end.

Should you are the type to compete for your birthright (because you are too irritated of people keep coming to kill you non stop). They are happy to serve you till the end as you embracing your darker side. (Well I am not sure to give ONF members and reader loveline here so I will not talk about it for now)For this version, to explain Minseok’s departure , I would prefer that Minseok is back at hell to be your team’s spy, monitoring all political moves and changes.There are still bottom line morality, you are not really slaughtering your way through. But you do make sure the other party wont come to look for trouble anymore.They are going to train you to make sure you are ready. Fighting in physical and magic.That friendly sibling joins on training you too. 

You are definitely getting strict critiques from Hyojin and Seungjun during the beginning of your training.

My preferences, you get a friendly sibling(s) where their demon guardians end up being BFF with yours. (RTK and MIXNINE side effect, sorry)

Characterization should be the same as those I have established from the familiar au. Just the world building and some settings that are slightly different.

Hyojin is to keep the trait of his preference on human food

Changyoon is to keep his nagging trait 

Seungjun might help you with studies (not solidify him as a nerd but there is tendency that he will)

Jaeyoung is more to the body guard type

Minkyun defo gonna make friends with stray animals (either you house ends up becoming pet shelter, you becoming a foster mom for animals or you cannot keep any because you are allergic but mental supporting Minkyun is up to you)

Yuto definitely is the quiet but alert type same goes with Minseok

My preference stereotype for them would be the cinnamon rolls that would kill

Sometimes they might go.. “ I am a known demon back in hell but why I am doing this babysitting shit?” 

But then ends up enjoying stuffs human does lol

Changyoon enjoying TikTok lol, they got famous because of their contents. 

Defo gonna have movie night.

It will be funny if ONFs as demons themselves, got scared at the monsters/ghosts seen in horror movies. Bonus if you actually not scared of horror movies. And they are gonna question you out of disbelief like why the hell are you not scared? How can you not even flinch a single bit?

Reason : monsters and ghosts imagined by human beings do not look the same based on their knowledge.

They sometimes show themselves to other humans but rarely. Mostly just being the unseen follower behind you.

Cues in sometimes they forgot they are invisible, and picks up something from the mart and it gave people a fright. Example, Changyoon or Minkyun passes through a nice outfit and just took the hanged outfit out to place in front of himself, only to realise what he did after looking into a mirror nearby

Hmm my thoughts, Jaeyoung and Minseok would be the ones who would always their visiblity when you are out with them.

Hyojin and Changyoon would be the ones who prefer to keep their invisibility

Copying from familiar au, should you attend college or university, people might thought some members of demon!ONF are your boyfriend.

At first when they changed pattern starts to live close to you, they could  not get the concepts of moral of human being well. You will be guiding them. 

Could happen that you are so pissed off by someone at work and you could not help but ranting when you are at home. 

(Of course the demon!ONF on that day saw what happened but you did insist on them to not do anything)

They might go like : “ Should I kill them for you?”

You : “What?”

Random ONF member : “I can do it to make look like an accident you know.”

You : “OMG NO”

You : “You know maybe you can try to mend things when they are trying to frame me on purpose.”

Random ONF member : “Gotcha”

For the you are not competing scenario, they would be always keeping you safe from harm until you died. Should you get married, you let them participated as relatives/friends. Cues in they even help you take care of your child later on. It could be even fun if you child does not inherit bloodline but they can see ONF members

I will stop here will write another post should i have more ideas to add.

Welp of course for a third option scenario, would be you being a supporter the friendly sibling of yours. You just wanna stay safe so you acted like an advisor role for that candidate, helping them to gain power but not participating directly. Like I said its flexible

For this one I would like to write it as you are just trying to chill with your quiet life but demon hunter, angels and aggressive candidates keeping coming at you.

Also for this one I would link to the point of unfavorable and forgotten child part.

Less favourable child gets assigned with less powerful or less aggressive demons

So for this story ONF aren't high class fighter demons at all. But they do excel in magics.

In opposite, you could the one who knows how to fight maybe because you are quite rebellious in personality.

The moment you found out there 3 parties wanna kill you and innocent less aggressive candidates, you snapped.

Maybe some candidates heard of your friendly sibling name and they rushed over to seek help. End up bump into you instead.

You : what kind of dad is *your biological demon dad name*?"

Cues in Demon ONF keep calming you down because they are afraid that rumours of you belittling your demon father might make their king angry

But you have your attitude and no shit is given. Because you understand that your life your destiny is in your own hands.

You : I wanted a peaceful life alone but now I have to deal with Angels, hunters and a bunch of siblings that I never met , never knew about each other, who all wants me dead.

You : its not fair.

To end it once and for all, you suggested to the friendly sibling to find other candidates that do not have any intentions to compete for throne. Form allies with them so that later own they could get votes for the throne and the rest of the gang could get a decorative chill title while living a peaceful life

Also suggested to the sibling of yours make use of the allies to protect less aggressive candidates

It worked politically. As most of the candidates work on slaughtering others to cut secure birthright, your ideal and policy of strengthen inner then tackle threat gain more favour. Finally your sibling gets the throne.

And you and your other members of allies might get duke duchess or something

This version of story would have and need slot of mind games. Political games as well. (Will be interesting to write but there will waaaaaay too much characters to take note.)

here’s a list of fics that contain miscellaneous halloween themes such as vampires, demons, pumpkins, ghosts, witches, mermaids, werewolves, all kind of supernatural stuff plus halloween centred fics! hope you enjoy them :)

waiting on you by emma1234 // vampire!harry + human!louis, 76k 

“Vampires,” Louis says with disgust, glaring over at the vampire who is noisily slurping from the woman’s neck nearby.

Zayn gives the neat fang marks on Louis’ neck a meaningful look.

“Can’t live with them, can’t live without them,” Louis finishes, ignoring Zayn when he rolls his eyes.

Louis takes a long sip of his milkshake, presses his fingers against the marks on his neck, and definitely doesn’t think about the vampire who left them there.

read you for some kind of poem by mentalistecbm // vampire!harry + human!louis, 11k

He likes to imagine that he’s always aware of Harry’s eyes on him, but the spark that flashes across his body at how often Harry licks his lips while looking at his throat doesn’t feel like something he’s explicitly and consciously acknowledged before, but it feels familiar. Usual. Right.

(Louis is human, and Harry is lucky enough to be his vampire boyfriend.)

say hallelujah, say goodnight by alivingfire // angel!louis + demon!harry, 110k

Louis is an angel who is just a little too bad to be good, Harry is a demon who is just a little too good to be bad, and they're both a little too in love to be impartial when angels and demons go to war.

Supernatural AU. Louis hunts demons; Harry's the strangest demon he's ever met, and he keeps fucking meeting him.

When Harry Styles, a mid-level talent, Finder, and small business owner, sets off on the vacation of a lifetime with his best friend, Niall Horan, he has no idea the changes his life will undergo over the next nine days. He's got it all planned - there's going to be shore excursions, lounging by the pool on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship, not to mention margaritas. What he does not plan for are the new friends, new bonds, or the mystery from his past that comes back to haunt him, and he certainly hasn't planned for Louis.

On March 31st, Harry Styles disappears. Though many speculate, only two people know where to find him: Niall, his former guitarist, and Zayn, who follows where Niall leads.

The fact the biggest boy band in the world broke up two weeks earlier might be related to the disappearance. The fact Harry meets a fairy named Louis in the woods is a whole other matter.

(Liam is a centaur.)

purer than the water (like we were) by FeelsForBreakfast // mermaid!louis + human!harry, 33k

Louis is a merman and Harry is a boy. The lake is a good place to fall in love.

"Louis wants the boy to wade deeper, deep enough that Louis can go under and wrap his fingers around his ankles for just a moment. Pull him under. Just touch skin, for a second."

runaway land by daggerinrose // demigod!harry + demigod!louis, 103k

harry and louis find themselves stuck in an old haunted house. it may or may not be the fault of three friendly matchmaker ghosts.

float down like autumn leaves (stay now) by hopelesswriter // halloween, 16k

The AU in which Louis has a 6 year old daughter with a costume emergency that puts her school's annual Halloween party at risk, Halloween decorated cupcakes are hard to find and tall men look absolutely ridiculously cute in giant vegetables costumes. Co-starring Harry, who makes really good food for the kids. Featuring Niall, who works in a bakery but has a part time job as a babysitter. And as much as he doesn't believe in love at first (or second) sight, Louis is really infatuated and really wouldn't mind seeing Harry again.

may the gourds be with you by CalamityK // halloween, 3k

Next time you want to go on a road trip to the middle of nowhere, I’m saying no. ASDA has plenty of pumpkins.” Louis says darkly.

Harry shoves his phone back in his pocket, “Just start the car like I said and we can see if we can get back the way we came.”

Louis turns the key slowly and isn’t even surprised when nothing happens. He just sighs, “God hates us.” Or that one fic with where Harry can't read maps, and Louis hates pumpkins.

you are the moon that breaks the night by supernope // halloween, 4k

Harry doesn’t realize he’s been squeezing Louis’ hand until Louis nudges him in the hip and laughs, “They’re just pumpkins, Harry, calm down. Let’s go have a look.

”Harry lets Louis drag him off toward the closest pile of decorative gourds, then tugs him down into a crouch so they can begin to search through them all. He wants carving pumpkins, but he also wants little ones for decoration and a couple of ripe ones to bake with.

Louis does not understand the art of selecting a pumpkin, Harry discovers, and he has to give him a hands-on tutorial that involves way too much touching for such a public, kid-friendly place. Harry wants so many pumpkins that they end up making it into a contest to see who can choose the best ones, both drifting from pumpkin pile to hay bale, turning pumpkins over and pressing on the bottoms like they’re pumpkin experts.
