Did tumblr eat my ask? Or is it just taking awhile? I’ll ask again just in case , and u can ignore it if it wasn’t. Time travel Des gets turned into an animal au, but this time he’s a slugcat from rain world, they’re cute, generally good at parkour, and can have different abilities (artificer can make explosives, spearmaster can make spears from its tail,etc.) so Des could have one of the canon abilities, or he could have a unique one. (Or one from a mod lol)
Noooo, your ask wasn’t eaten by Tumblr nor did I ignore it. I’m still answering asks and reblogs from July 26 (which has your ask as well and that was why I was able to answer this now) TTATT
I’m sorry for the delay. TTATT
Anyway, on to the ask.
For those unfamiliar, the Slugcats are the playable characters in the game Rain World.
And look at how adorable they are:
Honestly, I was debating on just keeping him purely Survivor because Survivor is white.
But let’s shake it up a bit.
Desmond’s slugcat ‘type’ changes depending on various conditions:
He’s primarily the white Survivor (base stats) when he’s alone or doing his own thing. This is how his ancestors first saw Desmond and how he’s usually described later in history as a symbol of the Brotherhood.
He turns gold (yeah, not yellow) as the Monk when he’s safe with one of his ancestors, usually curled around the neck and hidden by both the hood and the robes itself. He’s quite warm in this state and tends to purr a lot. He tends to not be that combat-oriented in this state.
He turns red as the Hunter when he’s… well… hunting mostly. Looking for and stalking preys would usually turn him red. Ratonhnhaké:ton is the ancestor who sees this a lot.
He turns into the plump Gourmand when he has eaten quite a lot. This happens a lot with the Auditores because they just love to feed him. He’s slower but he can use his larger body to slam against things and other people. More often than not, he just rolls into a ball and tries for strikes.
Artificer (magenta?) and Spearmaster (purple) are the states that usually appears before Altaïr.
Spearmaster appears when Altaïr has no more throwing knives and he would use the spear that appears on Desmond’s tail instead. Because of this Altaïr actually changed to Desmond’s spears instead (since they’re about the same size of his throwing knife) and Desmond usually helps and flicking his tail turns the spear into a projectile weapon whenever they’re forced into open combat.
Artificer first appeared when Altaïr started working on the hidden gun and his explosive capabilities are usually used for control demolitions. Artificer is more or less just studied when he was with Altaïr. It’s Ezio who turns Desmond into a walking timebomb of distraction and demolition. The requirement to making Desmond an artificer seems to be that he had to smell gunpowder. He turns into an Artificer once he sneezes.
Rivulet (water) is the easiest state to change to. Get Desmond wet and he’d turn into a Rivulet. As long as he’s wet, he’ll stay a Rivulet but… once he’s dry, he’ll return to being a Survivor unless there’s another state requirement being fulfilled (like being wrapped in a warm blanket to dry off while in his ancestor’s arms would turn him into a Monk instead).
Saint’s (green) requirement is a bit of a mystery though but the most possible explanation is that Desmond turns into a saint when he needs to freerun and thinks he needs to use the Saint’s long tongue to grapple and swing from ceilings, walls, tree branches, etc. Saint’s the most frail of his states and Desmond tries to change his states as soon as possible whenever he turns green.
… I feel like whenever one of his ancestors die, Desmond gets a slugpup (maybe it just… splits from him? Or it slithers out of the ancestor’s body?) and follows Desmond around. The slugpup doesn’t shift states but usually tries to help Desmond whenever it can. Desmond’s pretty sure they’re reincarnated slugpup of his ancestors… or maybe he just wants to believe that. Slugpups are very affectionate towards Desmond and Desmond treats them more like his kids than minions.
Desmond names his Slugpups on the ancestor they ‘come from’. Slugpup!Altaïr has the Dominance trait which means he will pick up things he thinks he can use and use them. This is usually not weapon and more like utility items like smoke bombs and even just food he would give to Desmond once he starts to feel sluggish. He also likes to stay with the other slugpups and Desmond isn’t sure if he’s acting as their leader or their big brother… maybe both? Slugpup!Ezio is more on the Energy side and he tends to grab shiny things that are usually expensive af. Slugpup!Ratonhnhaké:ton is an Aggression type and prefers to have a weapon. Mostly, he would have a spear or one of the Assassins’ throwing knives.

3, 7 and 14 for the asks!! 😍
😭 I should have asked you more myself!! But I saw handwriting and went “I MUST have her write some of her FIC-“
3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?
So 🤔 this is kinda tricky cause we hardly rewatch films in my house cause 🙄 my mom and dad only like watching things once usually. But but but I DO share in common with my mom that I love rewatching:
Encanto
Tangled
Turning Red
I’ve certainly annoying my sisters recently with Turning Red 🤣 it’s really good background noise and fu bro watch. Encanto cause it’s good!!! But also I’m latina and also feel not special like Mirabel 😭 my sister first time we watched the movie said Luisa reminded her of me tho thanks for clocking the older sister energy I guess. And tangled because Rapunzel my favorite Disney princess ever 🥺
7. what scares you the most and why?
Oof here’s where we get ✨depressing✨
First do we mean spine tingling or deep rooted fear that stabs at your heart till it aches and pours out? Cause I could easily say something concrete like cockroaches (they make me cry and shake so quick) but if we’re talking in ouchie heart ache type of scares it’s becoming unwanted and an inconvenience 😭 I’ve felt like that a few times in my life and heck I’ve been feeling it especially hard lately. Just gotta take a deep sigh and keep going cause I’m gonna like me enough to want me to stay! Ya know! Also I’m scared of being in absolute darkness and I’m scared to be out at night :)
14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?
😭 kinda related back to the other question Owie, this one seems kind of ridiculous but it’s the simplest and most heart breaking for me. All of my wants have this same thing in common but this one is the most recent so ridiculous or not here you are.
Going for a walk.
I’m, frankly, scared of the unwanted attention that comes with being a fat person in public 😭 I mean realistically I know no one’s actually looking at me but I can’t help but feel they are. In PE I was always last to finish and the kids who were done early would cheer me on and they meant well but it always made me cry. For a bit I got a little braver about walking on the treadmill at the university but I’m out now and we don’t have one at home. I’ve been wanting to go walking to better myself because 🥺 I could be better but I’m really scared of going to the park. It’s on the other side of town, it’s bigger with more shade, but it’s next to our high school and there’s a bunch of houses and there’s no good time for me to talk out of my day to do this and I’d go for a walk but we don’t have sidewalks where I live and I don’t want to walk in the road and block someone from their driveway. It’s all excuses I guess but all in all I’m afraid of existing in other people’s spaces.
But but to end on something positive!!! 🤔 um I’m really proud of the way I’ve conquered my fear of driving. I’m still afraid of that and going long distances to places I don’t know but now I feel that I just gotta go it and I’ll get used to it. It helps that my car is cute and I have stuffed animals 😄 I actually don’t hate driving as much anymore I like going around town with the windows down letting the air mess up my hair.
♥️Questions♥️ (yall should go ask Libby too 🩷)

Hi Reddit. I (kyman) have been mutuals with a blog (style) for ages now without disclosing my true nature. I notice they reblog my art sometimes, so they probably have a sick psychosexual kyman leaning somewhere in their subconscious (based on my Freudian studies). They’re Jewish if that matters. AITA or are they (obviously) secretly obsessed with me?
THEYRE JEWISH IF THAT MATTERSHHSHFJDK

Okay but in the twilight zone/x files/twin peaks/supernatural version of Gilmore girls that didn’t exist but should’ve. Dean and Rory body swapped for an episode. As did Emily and Lorelai. As well as Lane and Mrs Kim. Plus Richard and Michele. And Luke and Paris for good measure. It would’ve been fun. Your thoughts?
(I haven’t seen the x-files or twin peaks, but I love a good body-swapping story 😄)
I think the Luke/Paris switch would be the funniest to me. The two characters who rant the most (in slightly different flavors) swapping places would be absolutely magical. I can just see poor Luke!Paris freaking out and being like ‘I need to find Rory - she’s Paris’ friend and the smartest person I know’, just for Rory to turn out to be Dean. Then he’d be like ‘ugh no, Dean can’t help me, I’ll find Lorelai instead’, and then Lorelai is actually Emily. 😂 Paris!Luke would be meaner to the customers than regular Luke, but since she runs a tighter ship at the diner, that could result in a smoother system between owner and patrons that Luke ends up loving when he returns.
I feel like Lorelai/Emily and Lane/Mrs. Kim would both be different versions of Freaky Friday. Mrs Kim would be 100% disturbed by how “sinful” the kids are at school, and she’d either want to crack down on Lane even harder, or she’d appreciate how well Lane has been holding up spiritually (or possibly, she’d progress from the former to the latter).
Initially, Lorelai would be horrified to find herself in the body of the woman who’s married to her father, but her worries would be quickly dispelled when she finds out he’s actually Michel now (Richard wouldn’t mind being in Michel’s body very much, but Michel would be completely and utterly miserable in Richard’s body). Lorelai would have a blast messing with Emily. She wouldn’t actually DO any social damage, but she’d run Emily ragged making her think she was about to screw up her life.
Poor Rory would fail to adjust to her new height. She’d constantly be tripping over her long legs and bumping her head on absolutely EVERYTHING. (Heaven help her if this swap were to happen while they’re still in high school and Dean is expected to play a game. 🫣)
On top of it all, I imagine Kirk would either never catch on to what was happening, or he’d catch on immediately and make it his mission to get to the bottom of things. He’d be like Ned from 17 Again:
