#tma reverse au

[clairebearsparkles]

Had this au spinning around my head for awhile, finally got some drawings done for it lol

It’s a complete reverse au where instead of the Magnus Institute and Jon being the chosen one, it’s Martin and it’s now a Lonley aligned hotel: The Lukas Hotels, where you’ll never want to leave.

Also don’t mind the layout inconsistencies I am still working on how this hotel looks

[therealdistortion]

I need more tma reverse AUs PLEASE

I need Archivist!Martin & Lonely!Jon

PLEAAASSSSEEEE

[ultramarinaa-reblogs]

OH MY GOOOOOOOD

WAIT LONELY!JOHN IS ACTUALLY THE ONE WAY I CAN BE CONVINCED TO DRAW HIM WITH LONG HAIR!!

I LOVE THIS RAHHHHHHH

I just thought about long-haired Jon designs, and how I don't tend to draw him like that, but then I remembered I did once for this lonely!Jon comic, I looked it up and decided to redraw it in color.

[life-of-a-rat]

edit:

@dieanywhereelseart Fan art for the fic What Once Was Mine by Dieanywhereelse on ao3! This fic was so fun, I love the concept of Jon’s vocal cords being replaced with tape, and being able to mimic sounds and other’s voices. Just to add on to this with my own little head cannon, is that if him and Martin are cuddling and Martin has his head against Jon’s chest, he can hear the little whir of a tape recorder, instead of a heartbeat.

Anyway I dunno if this drawing conveyed that sort of concept? But it was fun to draw. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I’m able to read a 50k unfinished fic and make fanart for it in a single day, and it takes me a month to get through a chapter in a normal book, it’s getting frustrating

Nightwing!Damian would still be of the Corruption, though he has so many healthy relationships in his life that its influence on him is slipping. His swarm is smaller now than it’s ever been. His power fades day by day. He might even manage to be human again someday (he doesn’t know how he feels about that, when his swarm are so beloved & his monster side has always been a source of pride for Damian.)

Tim was always going to be of the Eye, being Oracle only doubles down on it.

Cass in the TMA AU is basically Agnes Montague, but for the Stranger. That wouldn’t change either.

Steph was only just starting out when Damian took her under his wing. She never fully got caught in the spiraling fixation on destroying her father by any means necessary, she couldn’t pursue one goal to the exclusion of all others, and as the first fully human (non-Alfred) member of the team, everyone would be doing their best to protect that humanity, monitoring her for any sign of supernatural influence and guiding her away before it could get its hooks in her (they are still Bruce’s children, after all.) Until she came out of the dirt, unsheltered & unprotected, already marked so many times over, with fear & rage boiling in her blood. Until Talia gave Steph her mind back, gave Steph a purpose again, and the rage boiled over plasmatic hate. Until Steph laughed like a roaring maelstrom, sparks crackling in her wild hair, something bordering on madness in her eyes, and Talia thought: Oh. I have made a mistake. (The storm would be leashed, eventually. Steph does have self control, she has goals to achieve, plans to make, and power alone could not do that. But in that moment, when Steph realized her killer was still killing people despite everything that had happened, in her pain & fury, she gave in. She stepped backwards off that invisible ledge and plunged headfirst into what she knew she was Becoming. She embraced it, wholeheartedly. In that moment, it almost wasn’t Stephanie Brown in that garden, but the Cataclysm itself inside her skin. Almost.)

Duke… I’m still struggling to think of a good match for, but honestly in this AU… His ability to connect, to make people listen to him, his desire to step up & save the city himself if he has to, and the fact Duke is the eldest/first batkid in this AU (giving him & Bruce even more in common when Batman had only ever fought alone) all make me want to say Web. BUT with his powers, his ability to lead a crowd, the sheer scale of his potential, I also want to say Vast? What little I know of Gnomon also says Vast, ALTHOUGH…. …we could play off their shadow control, invert Duke’s light powers for this AU, and say Dark. Which would make Duke borderline antithetical to Web!Bruce, but hey, maybe Web!Bruce wants to prove to himself just how much choice he still has—that the Web can make him as uncomfortable as it likes, but he’s still going to take care of a child in need. (Assuming he is going against the Web’s wishes, of course, and it isn’t reverse psychologying him…) (My gut says Web!Duke, though. The more I think about it, the more I like Web!Duke conceptually… but I am worried that it doesn’t fit him. That Duke’s all-or-nothing “if no one else is going to, I’ll do it myself” attitude & raw charisma is not close enough to the Web’s need for control. I don’t like it when people just assign characters an Entity for the Aesthetic(TM) or for shallow, surface-level reasons—it has to resonate with their own personal failings, or else what’s even the point?)

Jason was human when he joined the family, and they’d want to keep him that way… but I think by the time he gets back from the Red Robin arc, Jason would’ve been claimed by the Hunt.

Dick gets scooped up by the family almost immediately in this AU, and Cass does her best to temper in his early-days bloodlust. With Cass as his Batman, I think Dick would be tempted by the Vast, but ultimately chase after her by embracing his own Otherness. (Or Dick was already a Stranger when his parents fell. But honestly, I like the arc of Dick learning to love himself & following in his mentor’s footsteps so much more than making him a Stranger because Circus.)

little roleswap au

[sylphicdragon]

So, ever watch an animatic for something before getting into the series and you know what's going to happen now? Yeah, apparently that doesn't exist for TMA. Instead, whatever you watched before getting into the series was a different video then what you rewatched with context after listening to TMA. In other words, you could technically turn that first impression of tma (whether that be art, video, etc) into an au and it would probably fit among the many other au's as if it wasn't your first impression of it.

[clairebearsparkles]

stealing this thought from a friend Is Evan Lukas a previous hotel manager in the hotel au? Also your ideas and art are SO cool!!!

First off, tell your friend to get out of my walls. Second, yes! That’s the idea at least, Evan was the owner before his death and Naomi couldn’t take on the hotel sooooo it went over to Peter Lukas. He took it on since there was a lot of fear potential that was not being used while Evan was in charge.

Also I am so glad people are just as feral about this au as I am, I love me intense reverse aus

[mossy-tendencies]

icon (avatar hehe) i made for my tma au tommy for rp!! only a bust bc i wanted to have it done quickly+drew it on my phone in ibis, which admittedly, i am rusty at. 6ish hours (less than usual for me LOL). my funny guy...

[cupid-quinn]

yknow the fic ur abt to write is gonna be good when you make a separate note for structure and plot instead of just opening the note and writing the whole thing without much thought

[life-of-a-rat]

I dug through the dark recesses of my mind and finally found another comic idea for this AU.

my last post for this AU got, like, an obscene amount of notes, so while it was kind of just supposed to be a one-off comic, here's another one I guess?

btw, if anyone's curious (for some reason) the text in panel 3 says "Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze upon Martin's sweater"

[life-of-a-rat]

GGGRRRRRRRRGHGHGGGGGG CHEWING ON THIS EATING IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH HOLY SHIT anyways i drew a thing :]
