#trickster space au

[0l-unreliable]

tried to give them outfits that: 1) I'd think they'd wear, 2) gives off several eras of 'space fashion', 3) could transition to their trickster fits, AND 4) are individually interesting

did i accomplish that? mayhaps. but here they are anyways

SPACE TRICKSTER MASTER LIST

intro/basic idea

[ty-bayonet-betteridge]

@smoozie okay!!!!! i just finished figuring out every hermits godly origin so.

the basic premise of the AU is that every single hermit is a god, or a being of similar power (except for Xisuma, who didn't intend to be admin of a server of mostly gods and DOESNT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED TO HIM GODDAMNIT.) together, they make up a pantheon thats occasionally worshiped by members of other servers, which some of them lean into and others find very, very uncomfortable. It's also a "being worshiped makes you more powerful" setting so there's that.

specifics as to their origins:

BDubs - A living saint of the sun and its light. Inherits some small amount of divine power from this, and says that this makes him a god. The other gods, especially Gem (who helped to grant him this power) think this is very cute of him.

Beef - A semi-omniscient demigod who mostly acts in service of other, greater gods. His latest patron is Big Salmon, a "higher power" that he claims controls the concepts of the water, consequences, and commerce.

Cleo - All Cleos across the multiverse have been left in mental contact with each other after the Time Witch's ritual. They form a powerful network between them, altogether controlling the flow of time and space across the servers they intersect with.

Cub - Through blood sacrifice, poorly understood magic, and worship of Vex gods, rendered himself functionally immortal. This was a science experiment for him, but he'll take immortality if it's what the end result comes to.

Doc - Achieved code-warping levels of power after the successful slaying of a Developer in single combat. Xisuma frequently enlists his help in keeping the server stable, because surprise surprise, 26 gods in the same place of vastly different origins makes the code a bit unstable.

Etho - Shapeshifting trickster god. Old, though not the oldest member of the server. Sometimes claims that he's following a script handed down by beings above him, though most other members of the server think he's saying that to dodge responsibility for his mischief.

False - False and her sister Symmetra were natural-born deities, worshiped as counterparts. False is worshiped as goddess of victory, art, and the water, while Symmetra is worshiped as goddess of defeat, industry, and the earth. False hasn't seen her sister in hundreds of years, and over time their worshipers combined their iconography into a single god.

Gem - Gem is a dimension-hopping, shapeshifting celestial being with domain over nature and sunlight. She pretends not to know what other members of the server are talking about when they bring this up, and mostly uses her powers for LARP purposes.

Grian - Watcher. Has claimed the server as his own, and thus sustains himself on high-intensity emotions of its occupants. To sate this hunger, he regularly starts wars, games, and other server events.

Hypno - A mage who ascended to demigod status through feats of arcane prowess. Longstanding enemies, dating back to their mortal days, with Wels. Their feud has become more amicable recently, thank god.

Impulse - He and Tango have the same origin, having ascended as part of the Rule Our World challenge they were placed into. After the forces of the universe were done subjecting them to whatever whims crossed their minds, Impulse became the embodiment of achievement and industriousness, while Tango became the embodiment of chaos and games.

Iskall - Part of the first group of players that Developers ever made. Escaped the purge of the first players, and has been dimension-hopping and stealing power from different servers ever since. Technically still mortal, but has been alive longer than any of the other server members.

Jevin - A demigod, and champion of the demigod Wels. Jevin was granted some of Wels's power under the condition that he helped Wels bother Hypno, which Jevin is more than okay to do. When he's not using divine power to prank Hypno, he's using it to prank everyone else.

Joe - Has, on separate occasions, claimed to be both "the most powerful of the Hermits" and "just an average guy." When pressed on what made him more powerful than the gods and eldritch beings he kept as company, Joe just smiled and said "I'm Joe Hills, recording as I always do in Nashville, Tennessee." Nobody knows what this means.

Joel - Joel Thundercheeks of Stratos, an 11-foot tall deity of lightning, lore, and the skies. His abrasive personality and tendency to throw power around made some question whether he should be invited, but Gem and Pearl advocated for him hard. He's used to being the only god around, so he's a bit surprised that throwing his power around doesn't always work now.

Keralis - Fragment of an eldritch being, and the conduit through which most of its power expresses itself. Bridges dimensions, and travels through time as easily as it does space. Unclear whether he is aware of any of this.

Mumbo - Was a mortal, though he has rendered himself immortal through animancy. His own soul is bound inside of a golden heart inside of his S7 base, and he has supplemented it with a fragment of Grian's, making him part-Watcher.

Pearl - Santa Perla, goddess of flowers, the harvest, the summer solstice, and the noonday sun. Thought she was mortal until the Empires crossover, when she remembered her past queendom. Her life force is tied to the lands she cultivates, so she has taken careful effort to ensure all her bases are verdant and flourishing.

Ren - One day declared himself "the king of all gods" despite not having been a god before this. None of the other Hermits were particularly willing to challenge him on this since it seemed harmless. Somehow, though, news of it spread, and he has established a fairly thorough following across other servers as a god of leadership, trade, travel, and theater.

Scar - Ate God. Which one? He never elaborates. Oh, sure, he'll go into detail about, say, the recipe he used to cook God, but ask him which God he ate, or how he killed it first, and he just brushes right past it. His power can't be denied, though, so he must be telling the truth.

Skizz - Suffused with Withering Energy, and acts as a bringer of doom and despair because of it. Oh, sure, he's a really nice and supportive guy, and everybody loves him, but also things tend to collapse around him in dramatic and spectacular fashion. Hermitcraft has only survived because of the power of 25 other gods crushing any disaster before it happens.

Stress - Goddess of hope, beauty, and love. Unfortunately, she was cursed a long time ago by Iskall when they first met, adopting a monstrous form, which is worshiped as a deity of doom, evil, and hate. He's been very apologetic about it since and offered to help her reverse the curse, but she's overall very happy with the state of things. They've become very close friends.

Tango - See Impulse. Unlike most gods, who become more powerful the more they're worshiped, Tango draws power directly from the souls of those who perish inside his games, which has made him somewhat giddy about the concept of death in general.

Wels - A knight and folk hero who ascended to demigod status from the pure gratitude of those who he saved. Considered a patron of justice and protection. Over the years, he's become bored with this, and gotten into quite a bit of mischief. See also Jevin and Hypno.

XB - A mortal godkiller. He ruthlessly hunts gods outside the server in order to make them answer for their crimes against mortals. Within the server, he also occasionally kills the others, just for funsies.

Zed - Avatar of Death. Controls the process of respawning, though he often gets so distracted that he forgets to actually pay attention to it, leaving some players in limbo for quite a while before he remembers he has to pay attention to their souls.

HI BAE IM LIKE 90% SURE YOUR REQUESTS ARE OPENNN.

Anywaysssss

thanks a bunch baby girl <333

Heyy pookie 🥰🥰🥰 Idk if I read this wrong so I If did read this wrong, PLEASE LET ME KNOW TYSM 🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩😍😍 I think I'd only do two for now and make a part two 🤝🏻

The Trickster (Ji-Woon Hak)

You sat down in your chair, ready to play dbd

You press space to proceed through the loading screen and as you were around to put on your headphones, HE appeared

"Hey babe" his voice jump scared you.

You jumped a little "Ji-Woon!" you panted "Damn..."

He chuckled "What you got there?" he averts his eyes to the screen

"Dead by Daylight" you answered

"Hmm ohhhh, you know I'm in this game, right?"

"Yep" you switched to killer and selected him

"Beautiful" he mumbled "You don't happen to have any skins for me, right?"

"I do" you went to the customization tab and selected your favourite skin "Wait actually I feel like playing Huntress" as you were about to switch, you felt a deadly aura surrounding you.

"N... No, you have to play me" Ji-Woon's jealousy raised to the roof

"I'm so sorry! I'll play you

"Good girl"

Danny Johnson

You were sitting on Danny's lap as you opened the game.

"Which killer are you gonna pick, Doll?" he questioned, expecting you to pick him.

"You obviously" you smiled, selecting him. He had the classic Scream outfit with the zombie mask. Very nice.

"Of course you'd play me" he lowers his mouth to your ears "I'm the best, afterall"

You shivered "Y-Yeah but I also feel like playing Freddy-"

"Freddy? That weak mf that no one plays? Honey... You can't be serious"

You chuckled "I was just kidding"

"You'll be punished for this" he picked you up and took you to your shared room. Oh boy.

[werecoyotl]

I never understood why coyotes are not as popular in media, I mean,, they kinda fit a lot of popular tropes and would be wonderful to explore certain things that isn't just villainizing

Yes, coyotes are known tricksters, they're seen as thieves with a sharp tongue, left in the desert lands where the general west tends to oddly despise, but they're not bad

Coyotes are smart and loyal, mate for life, protect their packs. They are tricksters but a lot like the beloved fox, they have to be to survive. An alternate name for coyotes are Song Dogs, a group of coyotes can be called a Band. They're musical !! So many music related aus to ideas n whatnot but never show the music of a coyote, of the Song Dog

Stories also have that coyotes are the reason why our skies and galaxy looks the way they do, there are stories of coyotes who stole fire from gods and brought fire to people to keep warm. There are stories where coyotes guide people safely, so on

Coyotes can also mean the symbolism of life and death, coyotes are scavengers too, also like death, they're deeply despised by folks in general spaces, despite only just doing what they need to - to survive

They're incredibly adaptable, able to adapt to anywhere, the northern snows to the southern deserts, the plains, the suburbs, they learn and adapt. They're so adaptable there's an entire Wild Kratts episode about it haha

They're not a wolf, not quite a dog, but their own unique and beautiful and wonderful and wild thing

Idk, I would love to see more coyotes in media, I always get a little sad about it and when we do they're villainized and hated. I'm tired of seeing that. I want to see more positive coyote stuff and more good coyote content

Also, they're cute :3

[tartsinarat]

Ngl was thinking about this whilst drawing some toh au stuff while watching doctor who in the background but I really feel like Pip would really be into the toh version of doctor who.

no idea what it would be called tho in the owl house but Pip’s into it for obvious reasons of sci-fi but also occasionally randomly fantasy?? show, which has chaotic mess of lore that makes no sense whatsoever (I say this with extreme love tho) and has a main character who’s a mad genius and criminal who stole a time machine and ran away to explore the universe and time which I feel meshes very well into what Pip would enjoy

Like I don’t see him enjoying space frontier as it’s pretty much Star Trek and that show has an really optimistic grand view of the future, it focus mostly on the good of people as a whole and that anything can be achieved if people work together and put their minds to it, I can see why Hunter and Gus would enjoy it which I find really sweet and adorable

On the other hand Doctor who has a very complex but pessimistic view on people/the universe, it mainly focuses on the crazy situations that a lonely alien on who’s constantly running away but desperately trying their best at all times to either atone for what they did in the past or to help people across time and space which I think Pip would find more interesting and relatable.

He’d also probably think that all the historical stuff in doctor who is real and that Britain is just constantly getting invaded by aliens.

Funniest thing though about him discovering Doctor who is Pip finally learning what a British person is, and that he’s got a British accent himself as I’m pretty sure there’s literally no one on the boiling isles other than Belos and Pip have that accent so he wondered where it’s from.

Pip also enjoys this show even more because time travel is a concept in toh, soooooooo the guy is just itching to figure out how to make a real Tardis, the only thing stoping him is that he’s in the human realm and in the demon realm the titan themselves was like “nope not even risking it” and decided to never allow him to be able to find a time pool again (he was apart of the events of elsewhere and elsewhen along side Luz and Lilith… it was awkward between him and Philip to say the least but it was more on Pips part because he was like” holy shit is he an older me?? Or my great great- something?? grandad what is going on???” So he didn’t know how to react to that and neither did Luz who was like yep they’re related, and Philip was like “what a strange hooded kid, I didn’t know that demons could mimic accents and appearances so well, I should be stay wary of that abomination and slay it when I have the time”. Oh yeah Pip does almost get killed but Lilith springs into action and does the badass punch to stop Philip. Ngl I’ll have to draw this as a comic at some point because it’s interesting to imagine/draw)

As well I had some ideas of him in thanks to them dressed up in a nerdy doctor cosplay which I found fun but idk if that’ll end up being what I draw him as for his Halloween costume, all three were picked because they all had similar Pip personality wise and I feel like he would relate most to these three in particular;

Like Pip, 10 is pretty much a wild card personality wise depending on the situation he can either be a sad destructive arrogant bastard with a slight god complex who takes matters into his own hands because he believes that he’ll make the right decision without thinking about the consequences or be a lonely silly guy who rambles a lot and is always running around and just wants to have fun.

1 is a grumpy trickster that has strong opinions about right and wrong, he also appears rude or uncaring but actually cares a lot and is the guy who ran away and stole a fucking time machine. He and 14 (14 is basically a mature 10 but I was tempted to go with him instead of 10 but he doesn’t have the ego problem so 10 it was lmao) fought a god like being that’s from another dimension thats obsessed with playing games.

4 is a bit of an odd ball though, he’s the weirdest doctor out of the bunch. He’s pretty silly, but at times he’s shifts into being quite callous and broody but still has a heart of gold. As well as 4 seems to struggle a lot in acting human as he’s pretty distant, aloof and alien at points, he even emphasises a lot throughout his run how he’s not human. Which I feel Pip would find extremely relatable as well as enjoying 4’s adventurist spirit and his extreme hatred of authority.

I think 4 is Pips favourite so he’d most likely cosplay as him during thanks to them.

Omg almost completely forgot to mention but I didn’t add his scar on purpose, he’s used illusion magic to remove it to make the cosplay more accurate and because his curse at that point is showing more physically on his body at this point in season 3 (he goopy 😔) and I can imagine it’s hard to explain to people in public why you a rotting infected looking green scar across your face and an even worse looking arm that’s weirdly proportioned to your body.

[ecoterrorist-katara]

hello hello! can i just say, i love your takes so much. it feels like you’ve read my mind on how katara would actually react in certain situations. currently myself, im rewriting the structure of the show in a way that makes more sense (aka, getting rid of kataang altogether and focusing on actual growth for each character including aang!) and im struggling a bit on aang actually!

we know how brykke basically stunted aang’s growth because of their weirdness. but what if aang never had a crush on katara? what if he sees katara as the big sister he always wanted instead, making their relationship more wholesome than weird? i think he’s such a centralized character, but when i develop the others beyond the show, aang feels like he’s left behind.

maybe that’s part of it too! he is a boy out of time, and now more of a concept than a person as far as anyone else outside of his immediate group knows. in this au where i intend to age everyone up, i’m just curious to see what kind of man aang would grow up into if his motivations for katara was never there. i see him as trying to hold onto his lost childhood and then having to come to terms with the fact he can’t. but i’d love to hear your thoughts. who is aang outside of that? his journey has the opportunity to be so fascinating, but brykke kind of said hey! let’s not get into that! let’s make him a creepy god boy who gets whatever he wants!

(also to note, this version of aang is meant to be with azula and while i love the meta ive seen about taang i do personally hc her as a lesbian but i do like them but yeah!)

also sorry if this is too rambly i’m just very excited!

hi! This is such a nice message, and please never apologize for rambling! My blog is a safe space for all ramblers. Your fic sounds like a very exciting project!

I definitely agree with you that he’d try to hold onto his childhood & have a hard time with his grief; coming to terms with the depth of his loss would be an exceptionally interesting arc. His people were victims of genocide: his culture and his loved ones were brutally murdered. Nobody can replace that community, not even his chosen family of the Gaang, and certainly not a romantic partner.

But Aang certainly is somebody outside of all that tragedy too. I think his cheerfulness and optimism, his playfulness, his resilience, his reluctance to assume responsibility, and his prodigiousness are all important facets of his personality.

Here's my piping hot take: Aang is James Potter with a more tragic backstory and less of a cruel streak. Think about it: mischievous, funny, adventurous, brave, enjoys attention, popular, devoted to friends, prodigious, entitled when it comes to love interests, morally inflexible, dedicated to Good, can be too arrogant to recognize his own faults. We hear that James became a pretty decent guy, so there's plenty of potential for growth for Aang, especially if he doesn't get his forever girl at age twelve.

Aang has a big heart and stringent morals, but is still a bit of a trickster. Not in a malicious way, but in a “I have a zest for life way” that gives him a little bit of an edge beyond just being a sunshine boy. You can see this even in ep 1, when he sacrifices himself so that the village would be left alone, only to haul ass out of the Fire Nation ship as soon as they’re safe. You can also see it in The Great Divide, where he straight up just fabricates history lmao. Lying is not an issue for him at all, which indicates it’s not really part of his moral code.

On the other hand, he obviously feels very strongly about taking life, which indicates a black and white approach towards morality that is not uncommon in kids. I could see an older, more mature Aang being led to question his own approach to morality, particularly by someone like Zuko, who probably finds violence a lot more palatable than lying. I think there are very interesting cultural differences that can be explored here, which doesn’t necessarily mean that Aang will change his opinions, only that he’ll have greater respect for how other cultures see right and wrong, and that he can keep Air Nomad culture alive without taking on the burden of being the manifestation of that culture. He has the innate impulse to try to see the best in people, which is at odds with his black and white morals sometimes. Related to that, he really struggles with morally grey characteristics in his friends. I think that if he had a fleshed out opportunity to properly disagree with his friends, he may not necessarily change his own mind, but he might grow to value his friends' freedom of choice over imposing his own values on them, since one of the cornerstones of Air Nomad philosophy is apparently about freedom. I think his pacifist voice is an important contribution to their ragtag group of overpowered pre-teens and teens and I love it when that aspect is explored in fics.

I've seen some really good depictions of Aang-not-obsessed-with-Katara in fanfiction (Southern Lights has my favourite one; in fact it's my fave characterization of basically everyone except for Mai). I see most of his flaws as things he can grow out of, but only if he encounters difficult situations and learns to grow. Have fun with your fic, and please do share in any relevant tags once you start posting!

THE BEAST.

Oura Thorn’s powers are based of a character from a movie, but unfortunately that movie is King Kong Skull Island, so expect scary thing. If your not a fan of death, cannibalism, yummy digestive facts and good scary CGI, i wouldn’t recommend reading the part called “THE INSPIRATION” and skip right to “WHAT IS THE BEAST?”.

THE INSPIRATION.

Alright! Oura Thorn’s power is based of two entities, the SkullCrawler from King Kong, for body, strength and speed, and Jörmungandr, the world serpent for purpose.

SkullCrawlers were my main source of bodily anatomy guide for the Beast. A massive, horrific bulky beast built like a tank and filled with an unstoppable desire to kill. This creature was intelligent, fast and ruthless. Not to mention metal as hell. The stomach acid in this thing was strong enough that the Skullcrawler eats someone, whole, and then regurgitates the bones thirty minutes later! That’s some strong ass acid. It is described by the Gojipedia that :

“Skullcrawlers are subterranean pack-hunting predators with insatiable appetites that are the results of their heightened metabolisms. Because of this, it is suggested that male and female Skullcrawlers will almost always devour each other after mating. They are highly aggressive, as well as incredibly persistent in pursuing their prey.”

And trust me if you haven’t see the movie, you do NOT wanna end up alone with even one of these freaks.

Jörmungandr is a creature of Norse mythology, also known as the Midgard Serpent or World serpent, and is an unfathomably large sea serpent or worm who dwells in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard) and biting his own tail, an example of an ouroboros. In some scripts and stories- Jörmungandr is described as a Lindworm, which is a subspecies of dragon. Jörmungandr was the middle child of Loki, the Norse trickster god and the giant Angrboða. It was foretold that Odin took Loki’s children and removed them from Asgard. For Jörmungandr, they were tossed into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. There, in the ocean, the serpent grew so large that it could surround earth and grasp its own tail. Jörmungandr and Thor, the Norse thunder god, have a on-going feud and see each other as arch foes. During Ragnarök, Jörmungandr and Thor are foretold to fight each other to the death.

As recounted in Snorri's Gylfaginning:

“The sea will flood and the serpent will thrash onto the land. It will advance, spraying poison to fill the air and water, beside Fenrir, whose eyes and nostrils blaze with fire and whose gape touches the earth and the sky. They will join the sons of Muspell to confront the gods on the plain of Vigrid. Here is where the last meeting between the serpent and Thor is predicted to occur. He will eventually kill Jörmungandr but will fall dead after walking nine paces, having been poisoned by the serpent's deadly venom.”

It is said when Jörmungandr releases its tail is one of the signs of the beginning of Ragnarök (the final battle of the world, or the ‘end of the world as we know it’).

WHAT IS THE BEAST?

The Beast is a bipedal Lindworm with only two frontal limbs and a long thick tail for balance. It is covered in thick armoured plates, with jutting spines down the length of its neck, and the back of its head / cheeks, like Thorn does. Equiped with thick horns and a thicker skull, it can about ram down anything in its path with enough momentum. It is thin and nimble, and tanks a lot more than it looks like it can, using the large muscles in its arms and tail to be able to move fast, or catch prey. Its maw is filled with forward facing teeth, like a canine, but its throat and back of its mouth is filled with backwards facing spines, to grip prey and prevent escaping. Its tongue is long and flexible, capable of snagging someone and dragging them straight into their toothy demise.

The Beast only forces it’s presence when it senses an extreme unbalance in the world around it, forcing itself into control to eradicate any ‘pests’ or ‘weeds’ that would corrupt the survival of the world they are on. Although, just like Jörmungandr, eradicating the pest, also means the ‘end of the world’- destroying large amounts of civilisations, and killing many innocents in the process. Luckily, for Thorn, that hasn’t happened, yet. It is an animal- when it is in control there will be no reaching Oura Thorn, they are good as dead until the Beast has calmed- whether that means tearing the entire base apart to find the lack of balance or not.

However, not is all sorrow and death the minute the Beast is free. Like the World Serpent, there are times where the beast can exist and be calm. Though, usually, it will let Oura Thorn continue with their life by then, and fall back into slumber deep within them. Were a rider to disturb the beast before it slept, it would continue to exist, and often take the time to hunt, or look for a new problem for it to fix, ignoring the little critters around it. (Although, there may be a chance that though Oura Thorn, it may recognise you)

CAN IT BE STOPPED??

In terms of wounding the Beast- it’ll be hard, as a creature designed to force balance to any world.

The beast can’t swim very well, the heavily density of its muscles and bones make it sink and therefore, drowning it. Killing it would be hard in terms of combat, with its armoured scales. Its underbelly is less armoured and the skin along it’s neck where it’s spines emerge are a weak point but good luck getting close enough to touch it. And despite its brutal animalistic behaviour, this creature is smart. Tricking it with poison or having it swallow grenades ain’t gonna work here, just like with the Skullcrawlers. The best bet to killing this thing is having its arms and tail pinned, so it can no longer get away, and then hacking at it.

Keep in mind- if you’re not doing anything bad, and stay away from it, it shouldn’t actively seek out space riders to harm. If you get hurt, you’re in the way, lol.

WELL, IF SPACE RIDERS ARE GOOD, WHY DID IT APPEAR IN THE DOCKS?

Excellent question, figurative person!

Now, I’ve covered how the Beast works, if you’d like, go back to the OG post and see if you can figure out why you think Thorn lost control at the docks.

Ready? Alright. So the Beast only takes the reins when it senses ‘unbalance nature’ around it. Obviously it wasn’t the other staff, not the mail, but the cultists that were mailed to the base. But Infinite! They’re just Critters! Why would that upset the beast?

Another excellent question! The Cultist themselves, didn’t upset the Beast- but rather, the red smoke that they were breathing in.

That is the ‘unbalanced nature’ that has caused thorn to struggle to control themselves and keep the beast contained- the red smoke. And well understood with Onyx’s upload on Z’s planet- that stuff destroyed the entire world!! There is a specific reason that the red smoke is such a massive trigger for the Beast, but that would spoil a plot point I’m holding onto that I’ve been subtly hinting at. So you’ll all know laterrrr ~

WILL THORN BE EVER ABLE TO CONTROL THE BEAST?

No, unfortunately that will never be a reality for Ouřa Thorn :<

I love Thorn very much, but I find overly ‘op’ characters to be too unrealistic in my opinion. Thorn will never be able to control the Beast, or gain any other powers than that. The closest thing to ‘control’ Thorn will ever achieve is being so overwhelmed with one, or a mix of emotions, that it influences the Beast’s actions slightly. This can be seen in the dock accident, were instead of being careless and destroying everything, and probably eating the cultists, The Beast was influenced by Ouřa Thorn’s only two thoughts- to protect the other workers, and to ensure no one got hurt.

Thankfully, those two thoughts were just enough in comparison to the tiny amount of red smoke to keep a full rage at bay, keeping everyone safe.

(However! We do get to watch the Rangers + other critters do there damn best to try help Thorn tame it lol)

WHERE DID IT COME FROM??

There are records of other critters that had Oura Thorn’s power, old talismans and rock craving dating back to eons. Little is understood as to how it started, or why. Some are convinced it’s because of the prototype- the damage that he has caused with the red smoke has awoke a primal magic that is more dangerous than anyone knows.

i am wildly curious about your space trickster au, the mutation is SO tasty to me. does dirk have the resistance to the mental effects that he does in canon? what happens to dave when jane gets him? man, if you were looking for your missing brother and found the wrecked remains of a robot clone he made of himself, would that be fucked up or what? that last question doesn't mean anything, i've just been thinking about it. awesome au

I have my own thoughts on whether Dirk is actually immune in the comic, but I'll say that for this AU he's just as manic but has more frequent bouts of calmness/lucidity. Not necessarily because he's 'smarter' or 'more depressed' or what have you, but because he evolved with the disease rather than fighting against it.

Dave is alive and well after encountering Jane, luckily John was there to help, but he has a few more feathers than he started with (the starting number being zero)

You know what else is fucked up? waking up after who knows how long and seeing a guy who's sorta your brother but not really because you're a robot and you never met him and his dog girl companion who is eerily similar to the guy you and your 'human' counterpart had a weird situationship with

Just vibing?

Alternatively, Prima can be the one doing the dealing. He's developed a guilty conscience over leading his brothers into a trap, & seeing them get forcibly Claimed broke something inside of him. He used to be more aloof & stern. Now, he constantly checks on his siblings & is is highly disproportionate in dealing with threats to their safety. Massively overcorrecting in an attempt to make up for past behavior. His corruption is more physical than mental (tho there is still some mind fraggery going on back there). His body is beginning to swell up with the accumulated souls. He still refuses medical attention most of the time (read: anytime his siblings are slightly bruised or dented). He makes a deal with Vince's (Jack's bully in Prime) family. Decades later, Vince has to deal with the full Helicopter Grandpa experience.

I got set headcanons for the Thirteen, so in an AU where they're all claimed by Earth, Prima and Megatronus would be the main ones that anchor Unicron into the planet, ensuring the Dark God couldn't escape as no one could escape their grasp when the twins work together.

(Unicron absolutely fucking hates them because they are a literal reflection of Primus and Unicron, yet they were capable of cooperation unlike the first set of splitted twins. This ironically would Unicron little more active out of sheer rage and spite to bring their alliance down.)

It would be interesting to explore how Earth would differ, especially with all the siblings there and Earth being Earth.

Since Prima rules above and Megatronus rules below, they can still keep tabs on everyone and everything. However, they can only speak in dreams and visions, in the space-between-spaces, in places where the physical and spirit worlds intersect. They literally carved their own bones to cage Unicron. They don't have a physical form at the moment, but they are able to communicate through divine instruments and champions.

Solus would most likely lend their strength to them, bridging life and death in a perpetual cycle of renewal and destruction. Who else had applied the glyphs to their structures to further chain the Unmaker?

Quintus would most likely be lost. He's Gaea's first love. The Fallen Star who pulled down the rest of the once distant constellation. She won't let him go. He would be trapped in a dream within a dream. Deep within Elsewhere.

Liege Maximo would be an eternal wandering bard and trickster. Alpha Trion would be a traveler as well. Constantly documentating the ventures and refining searches. Alpha would have preferences for institutions compared to Liege, who goes where hearths are.

I doubt there would be a Law of Separation on this version of Earth, so definitely a lot of wilder shit going on here...

And on Cybertron.

Imagine if this Earth became the Cybertronian version of the Underworld/ Underhill/the Realm Beyond? Primes still gotta happen, right?

What if mecha used Earth for a spirit quest because that entire place is too trippy to rationalize it as a real planet? So there's the birth of new mythos and folktales, especially if some of them get stolen or bring back a spouse.

omg your puppy hybrid au i love! i can totally see dabi trying to turn the tables and collar his owner instead 😭😭

Anon, you're SO right! You smart little thing, have some Collar Headcanons.

• Doberman! Dabi does try to collar up his lady, specially after you tried to place the black leather piece on his neck. It's both a way to say "This one here is mine, fuck off!" And also a way of teasing.

• He hates the idea of being treated like a pet of some sorts, and also despises the concept of control the collar means. If he wanted to be collared up, he would've stayed with his father. It also makes him feel like one of those fancy tiny lapdogs, so collars are a no no for him.

• Touya often teases Tomura about it by the way. He is aware that the collar Shigaraki uses is functional more than a prop, but he can't help but smirk and mock him.

• The first time you asked him if he'd ever use a collar, his answer was a very blunt: "Fuck no! You're not my owner." You don't try to press the topic any further since it's clear it made him uncomfortable, but sometimes (when he is alone), he thinks about it. You may not be his owner (you are) but he sure does follow your lead.

• It is when he sees you had actually bought a collar for him that something in his brain just clicks. Sure, he wasn't going to use it, but his mind drifted to places: your neck would look so pretty with that thing on! The mere thought makes him go feral.

• "Don't tell me, this lil' thing was supposed to be for me? What about you wear it instead?"

• Low-key keeps the collar close to him to rub his scent on it and then tries to sneak it around your neck. He has to mark territory!

• Dabi taunts and teases you whenever the topic surges, tugging the leather piece around your neck in playful banter. "Say, how's my little lapdog? It's not too tight, is it?"

• Likes to snap pictures of you with that damned collar, has an album full of them. His favorite ones are where you're trying to cover your face in embarrassment. "What? Shy now? Weren't you thinking of doing this to me?"

• The only moment where a collar is ok for him to use is during his heats, for reasons stated in my last post.

"I'm not wearing that!" Dabi yelled, running around the small space of your living room as you tried to place the collar on. "At least let me see how it'd look! Come on, please!" You begged, following him around. "Put it on if you want to play pet so bad."

Pouting you gave up, sitting on the couch in defeat. "Fine, I guess I can give this to- Hey! What-" You didn't feel when Dabi had taken the item off your hands, gasping a little as his rough hands secured it around your neck in a swift movement. It was tight, choking you slightly. "Don't make me walk you like a dog..." Touya chuckled.

Epic: The Swap Saga - The Wisdom Trickster Saga

More Swap Saga!!! Now that I've listened to the Wisdom Saga I can finally work out the details for how it goes in the swap au!!

Legendary is just Chabaris swirling around singing how she wants to be like her sister Scylla. (I. Don't know if she's a whirlpool or a different beast - BA dum tis - in epic but either way it would visually be funny). The Siren's are in the kingdom, mostly disguised as beautiful human woman, with the intent of drowning Perimidies and taking over (he avoids them by constantly surrounding himself with noise or blocking his ears). They run into Chabaris, and Sirenelope (let's make that her name here maybe?) goes 'okay where's your big sister HUH. Girl just let us drown your babysitter already'. Chabaris is like 'NO'.

'Little Wolf' is sea based here! The Siren's are in their true form, throwing stuff from ships into Chabaris to wear her out. Hermes shows up and is like 'hey let's mess with these fish women' and gets Chabaris to move around to throw the Siren's off course. Sirenelope ends up throwing something really heavy, and says 'Lol go cry about it and make sure Peri hears. You're all screwed :)'

We'll be fine is mostly the same just with the characters changed around. The main difference is I think Hermes is more excited to have Chabaris as a bestie

'Love In Paradise' is more 'Open Arms' Esque! It starts the same, Hermes looking through Scylla's memories and then cutting to her on Polities island. Polities isn't a God, so Scylla could kill him, but he goes 'well you're gonna be stuck her forever anyways so. I don't think the bloodshed is really gonna be worth it girlipop.' I. Also think Polities just wants a platonic relationship with Scylla (romantic could work too tho since Epic! Calypso is a lot better than Odyssey! Calypso) but Scylla's is. Very traumatized and not in a good head space. The Edge scene happens, Syclla freaks out and calls for Hermes.

God Games features the same Gods (with Hermes in place of Athena), but the lengths are slightly changed. Aphrodite's and Ares is slightly shorter (he brings up that Scylla was willing to fight something as tiny as the Lotus Eaters and that her platonic/familial love is what drives her to get home + she recognised Antonius' love in 's) and Apollo's is slightly longer (considering the first thing Hermes did when he was born was steal Apollo's cows. Sort of a 'I already gave you my lute why should I give you any more favours' thing?). Hera is the same.

The final confrontation has Hermes more smug about winning. Oh and also he knew the game was rigged ('Oh Daddy dearest! I won you're very rigged game :)') Zeus gets mad and lighting strikes Hermes. Everyone freaks out. I think it would be really funny if at the very end Hermes sits up (either completely fine or frazzled by lighting either way would be funny) and goes 'you never said you wouldn't release her :)'

[wrenaspun]

HELLO! you're one of my fave lamen writers and fave fic writers EVER and I wanted to ask if you would recommend any books/authors? sending love and deep gratitude for the lamen AGENT au

AW what a lovely ask, thank you anon !!! My face looked like this reading it: 🥰I hope you like the (rest of the) fic!!! And this list of some books I like:

the Lymond series really got its hooks in me this year-- I'm only through book 4 but it's made me LAUGH, it's made me GASP, it made me WEEP UNCONTROLLABLY. Dunnett is an insanely good writer I think even if or perhaps because I am so slow getting through her stuff

Also really enjoying the Peter Wimsey series right now -- I'm up to book 6 and I just love the way Dorothy Sayers writes, her turns of phrase are outstanding, Peter is such a weird little guy, the details of the setting are just incredible... what's not to love

The Locked Tomb series -- enough said. I feel like heaps of people have read or at least heard of this one. I do think it's good and I was completely blown away by book 2. I love HARROW

Random Harvest by James Hilton, sorry. It's even available on archive.org! Read for free with no account! Or read a slightly nicer version for free with an account! If this niche book from 1941 has ten fans I'm one of them, one fan it's me, no fans I'm dead. It's not perfect but I really did find this amnesia story so touching and compelling and the final pages made me cry. Go in unspoiled if possible, read this first, and then watch the 1942 film!!!

The Stars Undying by Emery Robin -- another one whose final pages just knocked me flat. "Cleopatra in space" is a hook that's both compelling and also somehow doesn't capture the expansiveness and creativity of this novel at all. Mark Antony was, as promised on my back cover, the hottest butch girl in space. I'm waiting so so hopefully for the sequel

Jasper Fforde -- a friend once called his work 'English major fever dreams' which I think is accurate. Love his worldbuilding, love his insane worlds. I actually read his Nursery Crimes books first and secretly The Big Over Easy is still my fave, but Thursday Next is probably better known / regarded and they're also such good romps. There are always so many spinning plates and somehow it all gets pulled together

Honourable mention lightning round: The Phillip Marlowe series, twisty hardboiled pulpy fun from Raymond Chandler -- the Trickster duology by Tamora Pierce was, I have to admit it, extremely formative for me -- I'm also 8 books into the Highland Guard series by Monica McCarty and they're ridiculous but very fun if you like romancelandia stuff (and super buff guys; I think every hero thus far has been the biggest meatiest slab of muscle in all Scotland) -- Ion Curtain by Anya Ow, super fun space opera which also has me pining for a sequel -- Between Silk and Cyanide, the memoir of a codemaker during WWII who comes across as a vaguely smug but very funny personification of chaos -- Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier, gorgeous descriptions and I did really enjoy the romance; this one also got made into a film in 1944. With Joan Fontaine! In glorious Technicolor! In period gowns!!!

Thank you for the ask anon!! I hope this was interesting (?) or edifying (?) or satisfactory in some sense. Sending kisses!!
