#Flag on the Play AU

[universallydelegated]

so in the break a leg au there is a "player" character but bro gets 1. mike wazowski'd and 2. never called by his real name bc every time someone tries it gets drowned out by some other miraculous noise. crash, fire alarm, siren, scream, etc.

he's the toon's favourite, though :)

Just had the fun idea of the batfam having water bottles full of lazarus water that they carry around and like, them customizing them. Drawing on the metal in Damian's case, covering them in stickers in both Tim's and Steph's case, weaving a hand warmer for the handle, etc Just each of them having their own thermos of sorts for patrol and missions with the Justice League outside of Gotham.

Check out @phoenixcatch7 , this au is a combination of mine and hers (Possessed Doll Au) and you should go give her love <3

Stede finding Ed playing with Alma and Louis will be a recurring thing in my OFMD modern au fic. I feel like since Ed didn’t really get a childhood he will jump at the chance to play with Alma and Louis who are always eager to include him in their play time. Here are my notes for things I’ll be including. I haven’t decided whether Stede will have the play houses built or if he will for sure try to build them himself. Whenever Stede sees and hears Ed being so playful and amazing with his children he somehow falls even more in love with him. My brain just keeps adding more visions of Ed getting to play so I have to include them all!

Monster au time bc I just wanna prattle.

I think Paeden being Frank would be roughly the same, but instead it's Willy and Barry basically bonding his soul with Paeden's ( a real actual 8 year old boy) so Paeden is essentially possessed and has weird quirks where he gets glimpses of memory + randomly acts really old/werewolf like ( bc I think Frank would be a werewolf too OFCCCC OKAAAAY)

The dads have a similar interaction as they did in episode 1, where they arrive in the world and are freaked out but trying to get their bearings. My idea was that Glenn comes across a hiker and is like " oh, hey human, what's u-" but they start SCREAMING and trying to get away bc.....big weird snake men aren't normal. So Glenn basically brings back a random person to the dads like " guys something is up. This isn't normal." Alternatively, maybe they run into hunters/a group of hikers that they have to fend off without hurting? Thinking thinking.

Also i think Henry realizing he was originally human ( or half-human?) would be the same big thing where he gets sucked into the forgotten realms and bird-ified but I wonder if it was bc Barry was a cult leader of sorts, but was trying to find a way to harness the magic of his bloodline? Doing magic experiments to transform people,,, something to do with enlightenment? Also need to think about it.

Glenn being half siren from Bill. I like that idea. Also kinda speaks to how Glenn isn't quite the rockstar his dad is.

I think it would be funny if a magic equivalent to fortnite ( probably called 4 Knights so the silly) existed in the forgotten realms so they have to rescue Grant from an actual esports tournament where he's CRUSHING it.

Would it be more funny if the Library was just a very unsettling guy who works at a library or THEE library from S1 and he just clawed his way into the world. Maybe the first option so we can have the Likely family also be a normal but unsettling humans who punk the dads.

Doug the Intern stays exactly the same. I cannot stress this enough. Maybe he's conjured or held hostage or something but he's literally EXACTLY the same.

So the Joker’s little “BANG!” guns can launch that flag pole out with potentially lethal force (at least, according to Batman Beyond). Which very much seems like the sort of thing he’d do—it’s a double punchline.

Why does no one ever just pull the trigger twice?

FUck she might be the coolest fucking one so far

Cutlass! from a Pirate AU I've had in mind for quite some time but never knew how to properly do

UNTIL NOW

The Family is royal and corrupted, you know the drill

 After the Incident, Pedro is kicked out

 He changes his name to Cutlass and decides to roam the seas, taking his revenge by attacking ships belonging to the Family

He doesn't identify as neither man nor woman so his pronouns often switches between he/him and she/her (she/her is dominant)

If you're unsure about what pronouns to use, just ask the parrot, he knows

She couldn't find a crew though, so she does it all solo, her only companion being her pet parrot Pedro 

 After several years of doing this, she's become known as the Lone Dagger

She sails a small ship named The Unexpected

Everyone fears her because she can and will attack a giant vessel by herself and WIN

She lost her right eye during a confrontation with Ophelia when she tried to attack a ship she was on

She had to have the wounded eye surgically removed to avoid risks of infection

So now she just has a hole in place of it, hidden by an eyepatch

Oh yeah, sea monsters/beasts are real btw

Cutlass has befriended a few of them

I fucking love her omfg, she's genderqueer btw!

Please reblog! It allows my art to be seen by more people!

more of the break a leg au :) i love . TOONS.

Um...

Well I have been writing a series of notes for a potential Francis in OFMD universe(Eb is in this universe too but it is after they separated leaving Francis extremely bitter about it and bent more toward his brutality. A parallel to Blackbeard post Stede). I didn't mean to do anything with all this but I have a story where Francis met Ned Low in a one shot just to see what happened and they... hit it off really well which suprised me. (More on Francis end, Ned was a flustered mess just excited to meet someone with similar taste in music and... other facinations...)

Then I read this...

Fuck. The real Ned Low had a friend named Francis and they were close for awhile. Now I have to do something with these notes eventually- shit, its hauntingly accurate.

Did I mention Francis signature is setting ships on fire with its crew held aboard? What similar to Ned's blend of music and torment, Francis plays a violin in exchange of his pianoforte to the screams off it as the ship sinks...

I'm not sure I will write it entirely(I have too many AUs dammit!) but the idea keeps returning to me. I have set art ideas for it but I can share a short plotline that started from a one shot in my drafts where Francis and Ned meet while on dock one night at the Republic of pirates. Ned is drawn to the beautiful music of a violin along the pier coming from a beautiful ship. A tune so well played and unfamiliar in quality normally found around pirates. Ned grabs his violin and rushes flustered to join this stranger which he is welcomes to and they continue the song. They play well and even share a conversation, all where it leads to why Francis is there having to clean up what his crew could not. He's looking for someone as Ned remarks the same thing. Ned goes pale; however, as he discovers its the same man as a wanted poster is thrown at his feet to see its Blackbeard. Same man but different reasons that intertwine, Ned for revenge of his record being broken and Francis for his 30 freight ships under his corsair contract Blackbeard seiged in order to break it. Francis is also looking for Stede Bonnet, someone Ned doesn't recognize or really care to but he obliges for the assistance in tracking Ed down.

Then months later, as the story direction is changed for this, Francis finds Stede adrift in his dingy lost at sea and rescues him- or so Stede thinks...

Against Stede's ruse of a fake name, Francis on approach, knows exactly who Stede really is; however, alike how when he met Ned low, Francis is using Stede just as much as he is using Ned to find the Revenge. Ned, who Francis treats much like a pet ironically, happily goes along with whatever Francis tells him because he feels he weilds more influence than he truly does in this arrangement, all whilst Francis picks at Stede's mind to pull information about himself, his ship, everything that fascinates him about this odd bird at sea. What Francis uses all his skills at his disposal to retrieve, including his knowledge of mixing custom pharmaceuticals blends to fit his needs from his days as a refined surgeon.

When he's not using concoctions, Francis, being a man masterful at manipulation, one seethingly charming and well cultured from his wonderous explorations that streched far beyond his days permanently at sea, works like a charm on Stede. Stede who is immediently drawn to that comfort zone of aristocraic behavior while being more so put at ease with how kind and generous Francis is to him. Since Stede was rescued, Francis has provided him the nice cloths he longed for and treats him to fine dining, whatever Stede wants essentially... except to leave. Not that Francis has openly stopped him, more an alluded persuasion if Stede gets restless; "Why would you want to muck it out there isolated and all alone? You could run into anyone out there... Someone that could seriously hurt you if you crossed them... Just think what could have happened had I not found you first barely clinging to your dear sweet life... There's alot of dangerous men out there..."

While Stede truly believe Francis is trying to help him reunite with his crew, Stede isn't completely daft. He is wary and picks up somerhijgs not quite right as he tries to be careful what he shares, at least about Ed. He's mainly worried where all this generosity could lead and remains guarded but polite because... he's also despirate with no other options. He pacifies Francis as much as he can for now yet Stede doesn't realize just what he's gotten himself into and with who... What will all come to a head when Francis meets back up with Ned one night to celebrate their crews reunion with own twisted version of Calypso's birthday that make Francis intentions become abit more clear to Stede when the ruse is dropped completely.

Meanwhile with Ned back, Ned sees all this and knows the plan, but he's too jealous and spiteful by how Francis fawns over Stede. How Francis always keeping Stese so close. Ned wanted that to be him. Them... Ned has finally found someone who 'understands him' and will be damned if some minor rich boy playing pirate takes that from him while Stede would love to actively assure him how incorrect he is and how badly he wants to leave.

While all this happening, Ed learns what is going on and who Stede has been seen with as they have monitored the ship from the security of distance in night travels. What, thanks to Izzy, who knows all too well what the dread Black King Osman is capable of, knows just how much danger Stede is in. Ed now sets his bitter resentment from Stede leaving him aside and sails to London. He is heavily outmatched in means to attack Francis on his own, but with a well placed raid along the Thames River, he plans to level that playing field with a counteraction of his own capture.

Okay listen I SWEAR these were just supposed to be little sketches just doodles you HAVE TO BELIEVE ME

Anyways *hoards my niche lil au that I never make content for* I Love My Kids

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

still can't get over "there's no homophobia in ofmd!" claims, as if we don't get a flashback of childhood stede being the target of a rousing game of "smear the queer"

they’ve been on my mind nonstop for the past two weeks 

[bsaka7]

pierre/esteban, blue

They both wear blue. Sometimes the same, the colors of the French flag draped access their backs. Sometimes different, their shoulders held tall under the colors of their teams.

Pierre looks at Esteban and holds back a curse.

Esteban doesn't look at him at all.

Charles catches Pierre, once, a rainy Saturday in the paddock, damp and antsy for the tires to hit the track.

"He looks good," Charles says, following Pierre's gaze. The gel has almost washed out of Estebans hair and it falls soft across his forehead. Charles' voice is kind, the lilt of it familiar. Pierre is grateful they stayed close and terrified of the things Charles may know and is too polite - too kind - to ever say to his face.

Pierre shifts so his body points away from them both. "It's nothing," he says, because it's been so long, because the pain faded to ache and the ache should have faded into indifference by now, it should have.

Charles hums noncommittally. Pierre wants him to say something like - you'll beat him this week or he doesn't know what he's missing. He glares furiously at a puddle, at the way the raindrops fall and splash and ripple. When he looks back, Esteban is laughing with an engineer from Alpine, his blue-black umbrella teetering above them. Charles is checking something on his phone.

Pierre looks down at the Alphatauri logo on his racesuit and wants to burn it all to the ground. But it's raining. A flame should just fizzle out.
