Hello <3

It has come to my realization that I have a lot of blogs and have never actually compiled them together.

Combined ADHD brain with my desire for organization has resulted in some 5+ different fandoms blogs. I am very sorry, it will probably continue.

Chances are if I'm not posting on one blog, I'm having a different fandom obsession.

List:

@frogonamelon (Hi, you're here)

This is my main. It's mostly TMNT but there's a smattering of other fandoms, fanart, and original stuff here too

@ask-maplessleo is an offshoot of this one. The comic hasn't been updated in a year. I hope to get back to it but I'm not going to promise it

@gnomeonamelon

This one is Riordanverse stuff- Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, etc

@axolotlonamelon

This is Disney stuff- Its mostly Amphibia but GF, TOH, Svs, etc

@harding-pencroft-academy-au is a both an offshoot of this one and Gnome. It's a Disney/Daughter of the Deep crossover au

@froggitonamelon

This is Undertale, UT Yellow, Deltarune, etc stuff

If I ever post for similar video games, chances are they'll be here

@noneedtoheedtheweed

As of making this, this is the newest blog

It's all my superhero stuff- broadest category so far so I can maybe slow down making these

So far, it's all MLB and Marvel but more DC will show up here eventually and maybe PPG, Invincible, etc if I ever get the motivation

Hello! I'm cooking again :)

I'm tentatively calling this au 'Ghost Queen and the Keys of Death' or 'Keys' for short. Its one that's more centered on the Underworld siblings.

There are three main changes:

1. In Sword of Hades, we see that there's a key that unlocks death in this universe and most of HoO is about the Doors of Death.

Well… what if there were two keys and they locked/ unlocked one of the two entrances/ exits: the one in Los Angeles (TLT) and the one in the titular House of Hades. Each key does different things and is in the possession of one of the princes of The Underworld.

The first key, which locks the LA door, is in the possession of Nico. This key can summon the dead (regardless of whether or not there are skeletons nearby) and can tear open fissures in the earth for them to emerge from. It's embedded in the hilt of his sword (a la the Sword of Hades)

The second key, which locks the Epirus/ HoH door, is in the possession of Hazel. This key is worn around her neck and can give her visions of past death and how the people around her are going to die.

2. I split canon!Nico in half.

Keys!Nico is the mythology nerd who gets in everyone's business. He's Hades/Pluto's Ambassador to other pantheons and is at least friendly with both the post-Iskandar House of Life and the Norse crowd. He's learning magic from both but favors memorization over feeling, favoring magics like divine word and charms (but can also do some combat or death magics in desperation) on the Egyptian side while being fairly proficient in rune magic. He prefers to use cards as a medium as he's used to card-based memorization games like Mythomagic, can draw on and throw them, and they burn up upon use (helpful for remaining discrete).

The depressed Ghost King side of Nico is going to Bianca, who survives the events of TTC (I'll explain my quest reshuffling in another post). After Zoe's death, she runs off and runs into dangerous individuals who claim they can get Bianca's memories and best friend back. She meets Melinoe (who's supporting the Titans), who successfully introduces her to Mnemosyne, the titan of memory who reverses what the Lethe did. The goddess of ghosts then says that she'll need a powerful artificial shell/body to bring Zoe back. That's why they're going after Daedalus.

3. This is less relevant to this au specifically because this is also the case in Limen, but I aged up just about every character.

The prophecy is at 18 instead of 16 and I wanted to give every child of the Big Three a fair shot at being The One. Hazel was the closest when the prophecy was made, Bianca was after Hazel's death, Thalia was after she and her brother disappeared. Ana Dakkar (daughter of Neptune) was the first known on the Roman side and joined the Legion first by a couple months, but Jason is the oldest of the three on the Roman side. Finally, through Lotus Casino and Fate based shenanigans, Percy and Nico will turn 18 on the same day.

Bianca was 17 when she joined the Hunters and has been every day since

Nico is 16 in TTC, 18 in TLO, and turns 20 just after HoO

Hazel is 15 when she comes back from the dead a couple months after BoTL and 17 in HoO

Day 5: Godswap / pantheonswap / crossing over into other pantheons

Day 6: The women and girls of brooklyn house

This is less of a godswap then say my Sibling Swap designs but it just seems like they'd get along

Given that 3/4 of the Hunters of Artemis that we spend a significant amount of time with (Zoe, Bianca, Thalia, and Reyna) are in some way disconnected from time prior to becoming Hunters (Zoe was a Hesperide, Bianca spent 70 years in the Lotus Casino, and Thalia was the pine tree for 6 years), Zia would fit right in.

Sarcophagus Zia is really serving Pinetree Thalia is all I'm saying

A ha! the border of day 4 and 5 I caught it in time!

I have a personal headcanon that Julian is a member of the Chase family.

He's blond

His name fits (I mean, come on: Annabeth, Magnus, Julian)

The Chase family is known for catching the attention of the Gods

He's Path of Horus and the Chase family descend from Swedish royalty (was also flirting with people from the Scandinavian Nome)

He's on that sweet sweet leader arc

We never meet his family

He's associated with the color green (this may just be a me thing but Magnus and Annabeth both have green vibes)

He's from BOSTON

As for his story: Randolf Chase tried to move on from the death of his wife and daughters at first. He remarries and has Julian. Everything is fine for a while (despite Annabeth's claims that monsters are after her) until Natalie dies via wolf. He goes off the deep end and spirals into his Norse themed cork board and red string again. Julian's mom leaves him and takes her son with her.

After their respective battles are over, Julian (17), Annabeth (21), and Magnus (19*) reunite for one of the weirdest conversations any of them have ever had (and that's saying a lot)

Day 2: Shared pasttimes; pets; board games

Day 4: Unconventional friendships

Day 7: Back to the past; what was lost is found; free space

Story and Design Notes below

While Bianca in the Junkyard of the Gods, she finds and picks up three things: the moon/bow hairpin, Nico's figurine, and a mysterious clay (canopic) jar. When she tries to shut down the automaton, the jar breaks, and she wakes up in the Duat.

There, she wanders the vague plain of reality for an indeterminable amount of time with only a comforting pressure of talons on her shoulder and a gentle voice in her head to guide her. This voice begins to teach her Egyptian magic (which is significantly easier in the Duat itself- it's the only reason she learned so old)

Wandering, she eventually meets Khonsu, the god of the moon, youth, and travelers. He decides to take pity on this poor mortal and teach her ways to traverse the Duat as well as tracking and navigation spells. They eventually bond and she agrees to be his host if the need arises.

A little over two years later, she comes face to face with two humans and joins them on the Sunboat.

Design Notes:

Visualizing the Duat (ya know, the ocean otherworld in the sky) using watercolors in varying amounts of mixing :)

Khonsu: As the god of youth, I thought he should look younger. He's now in his early 20s (21 ish maybe 22?)

Timeline:

December: TTC- Bianca gets stuck in the Duat & is presumed dead

She's in the Duat for: BotL(the following July), TRP (July/Aug. the year after BotL), TLO (2ish weeks after TRP), TLH (Jan. after TLO)

March: TToF- Bianca leaves the Duat on the Sunboat

Sorry this design took so long for ya'll unis been kicking my ass

I wanted to do Brooklyn House Week 2025 but it dangerously close to finals for me so I've compromised (with myself)! There will be 2 posts that double up on the prompts!

I will be posting on Tuesday with a combination of days 2, 4, and 7 and Friday with a combination of days 5 and 6.

Hello! I wasn't sure if I should put the Disney/ Daughter of the Deep crossover au here with the Disney stuff or on my Riordanverse blog so I made a new one <3

Guess who decided to redesign the Pines twins <3

The original go around* didn't feel enough like the twins to me. I couldn't tell you why these register as the twins more strongly?? Maybe it's just rounding them out?

Does anyone know if there is an animatic where Annabeth is Odysseus? She'd make a good Odysseus

[gnomeonamelon]

Does anyone else occasionally think about the fact that there is no demigod child of the Big Three left alive that doesn't fear Zeus' domain?

[gnomeonamelon]

Doodling the children of Poseidon <3

This was originally going to be a single detailed piece of Percy and Ana, but Percy just wasn't coming together :\ Now it's just a more detailed reference for Ana Dakkar, daughter of Neptune

(Her animal design inspiration is a common dolphin for the record)

They'd meet when Percy arrives in New Rome.

They're both a little apprehensive- Ana from her brother's betrayal and Percy from fighting sons of Poseidon (not that he remembers the reason).

Once they get to know each other, they're very close and bicker like crazy since both of them think they're the best at what they do and have very different approaches to problem solving.

How about a crack at post TOA Apollo?

Apollo has 2 sacred birds: the raven and the swan. Since Lester was crow inspired, I decided to use a mute swan as the inspiration

[gnomeonamelon]

Mortal Dionysos is the bartender friend :)

Hi! Wasn't quite sure which account to post this to so here ya go!

Hello! Hear me out: What if... Harding-Pencroft Academy au?

After their adventures in Gravity Falls, the Pines Twins found a club at their new school, Harding Pencroft Academy in order to discover, document, and study the strange. Over time, it grows and begins to lean otherworldly as others join the society.

I don't really have a linear story in mind for this, but I do see the twins eventually falling into a mentor role as upperclassmen. They've been around the block many times (returning to Gravity Falls every summer since) and are the oldest and founders of the club.

The original post if you're interested (with some other potential characters)

[gnomeonamelon]

Honestly, I can't believe (time skip) Shelby was the first Kane Chronicles character I tackled.

For reference, Shelby is 6 during the events of Throne of Fire and Serpents Shadow and 13-15 during the events of Trials of Apollo.

Backstory, design notes, and all that jazz below:

Backstory:

Shelby would be Ash's first apprentice. She was found still awake and wandering around semi-destroyed Manhattan early on during the final battle against Kronos. The Hunter that found her assumed the four-year-old was a Grekoroman demigod and took her to the Hunters' camp set up on a couple of rooftops so that someone could always keep an eye on her.

Shelby became particularly close with Naomi, the Hunters' resident medic as she stayed out of the battle for the most part. They sent each other little gifts using a magic box Naomi gave her. A cool rock here, a snow globe there, it's all very cute. Naomi was actually the one to tell the real Ash about Shelby.

Suffice it to say, Ash was quite surprised when she met the now six year old at Brooklyn House.

Design:

Shelby looks like how Sadie is described on purpose. She really looks up to her and, if Shelby weren't already there, I'd say Sadie was a terrible influence on her.

Abilities:

Unsurprisingly, she is the most adept at Egyptian magic of all of Ash's apprentices. She is very good at divine word, especially when she writes it like Sadie and Carter do their first day training in Per Ankh.

Shelby is generally well rounded, as she has had the most time and one on one attention with Ash, being the first.

She's the second best with physical weapons (behind Estelle of course) and created a deck of disposable playing card-like runes out of paper that burn up upon use using the same premise as divine word. Not super practical but they can be used quickly and are good in an emergency.

Shelby is definitely the most creative when she fights out of the apprentices. She will through a trash can lid at you and turn it into a rhino.

I have a question for y'all:

You know how Kane Chronicles (and Egyptian mythology in general) has a very distinct depiction of the soul? Ba is their personality, Ib is their morality, Ren is their name, etc?

Through Kane Chronicles' soul terms, what do you think happened to Pan? Like, what did the loss of The Wild do to kill him??

I know there's up to 4 other parts that Kane Chronicles doesn't cover but I don't know how to explain this.

Is a god's domain part of their Ren? Their Sheut? Their Sekhem? WHAT?!
