Ok, yall probably know from my username that I love Miths and I LOVE the new familiars for WW

In particular, I'm interested in the Luna Mith Squire. But compare them to the preexisting Luna Mith:

They look very different!

What if Luna Mith isn't a species, but a clan? Like Stormcloud Harpies or Wintermane Centaurs?

The Road to Anywhere movie plot

The surreal continent of Arc, where humans are considered animals and keeping one as a pet is reserved only for the wealthy, is divided into four territories: the Red Lands, the Blue City, the Green Country and the Yellow Kingdom. The story begins proper with Princess Garnet, who lives with her possessive “momma”, Queen Carmen, the ruler of the Red Lands. One day, after meeting and playing with a strange boy, Garnet saves Poppy, a harpy-like creature, from being served for dinner, and hides her in her room. Poppy tells Garnet of the wonders of the world outside the palace; Intrigued, Garnet asks Carmen for permission to head out to explore, but Carmen refuses, claiming that life in the palace is better than anything in the outside world. Later, an anchor from an airship, the Luminus, crashes into her room. Garnet and Poppy quickly meet three other humans, Hinto, Orrin and the boy from earlier, Blane, who spirit them away aboard the Luminus and inform Garnet that she is not the Red Queen’s daughter, but a pet. She learns that the trio were also once pets of the three other rulers of Arc, Baron Marlais, Duchess Cloris and Count Aneirin; Blane had accidentally discovered the truth of his upbringing, and has stolen Aneirin’s magical compass, which can guide its user to various places in Arc, before rescuing Hinto and Orrin and stealing the Luminus from Cloris. They convince Garnet and Poppy to join them in their search for a new home where they can be free. The five visit several locations in Arc, first coming to a castle whose occupants taunt them, driving them back with a barrage of fruits and vegetables. They concoct a plan to sneak in using a Trojan Cat, but it is flung back out with them inside. Next, they avoid getting devoured by a Hydra-like beast by fleeing while the heads are arguing. Unbeknownst to them, their activities are being monitored by Empress DeVoid, a demon sorceress who is attempting to acquire the compass herself. Carmen, Marlais, Cloris and Aneirin also contact her to consult her for her aid in recapturing the quintet. Communicating to the group through the Luminus’s broken radio, DeVoid convinces them to come to her lair, the “Fortress of Lost Dreams”. To find it, they must first seek the enchantress Sigal, who knows the way to the Cave of Ganamar where the location of the Fortress is said to be written. Using the compass to find Sigal, they fly through a stormcloud, and Garnet and Poppy accidentally fall from the Luminus and land in the superstitious village of Freymere, where Garnet is accused of being a witch and subjected to an impromptu witch trial. However, the other three manage to locate Garnet and Poppy with the compass and rescue them. In a mountainous region, they meet Sigal, who informs them of a prophecy involving “two youths and two maidens” coming together to destroy the “fiends of Arc” and subsequently leading Arc into a new age of coexistence, before she directs them to the Cave of Ganamar, which is home to the Beast of Ganamar. Inside the cave, they find an inscription directing them to the Fortress of Lost Dreams, yet warning them of “great peril” within. As they discuss this, the Beast attacks, but the quintet escape with the help of the compass. After surviving an encounter with a gigantic “skymaid” who wears the Luminus like a hat, they reach the Fortress of Lost Dreams. There, they are lured into a trap by DeVoid, who takes the compass and uses it to summon the four rulers of Arc while the five are imprisoned in a cage at the bottom of a well, but Poppy manages to escape and retrieve the keys to their prison. As they make their way to DeVoid’s laboratory, they overhear her henchmen discussing her plans to combine the compass and a magic wand into a miniature scepter which opens gateways to realms outside Arc, allowing her to dominate the Cosmic Garden, Arc’s spirit world and the realm of the benevolent goddess Lady Alba, who banished her to the Fortress of Lost Dreams. As DeVoid combines the compass and wand before using her magic to fuse with the four rulers, becoming the Black Specter, the quintet steal the scepter, and throw dreams that DeVoid has bottled at the fusion, summoning various warriors, monsters and fighting machines born from imagination. However, the Specter has no trouble overpowering them all. As a last resort, Garnet uses the scepter to open up a portal leading to somewhere as far away as she could imagine: an asteroid in deep space. The Specter is sucked away to its death, and the group are nearly pulled through as well, until Alba appears and closes the portal. She then invites the five to live with her in the Cosmic Garden, but they decline, deciding instead to remain in Arc to ensure that humans will be allowed the rights of citizens, which Alba allows before departing, leaving them the scepter. After leaving the Fortress of Lost Dreams, the heroes meet up with Sigal, who reveals that she sent them to DeVoid deliberately to fulfill the prophecy. Realizing that they have new responsibilities as the new rulers of Arc after its former rulers’ deaths, the group begin to make preparations to spread the news with the scepter’s help, looking forward to their future. They are then seen from above as their figures grow smaller and the scene becomes a map of the whole of Arc, before it is rolled up by Alba.

I'm gonna continue the trend and do this instead of my homework:

Fic Writer Ask Game:

how many works on ao3?

37 and I haven't looked at most of them in years.

total ao3 wordcount?

167,109. Not bad.

Top 5 fics by kudos?

Six Flowers, Seven Gazes, Eight Friends (Critical Role, Vox Machina) (I wrote this when I was still in middle school and ngl I'm not jazzed about it but it keeps collecting kudos like dust so I'll leave it up cause it seemingly brings people joy to read it)

Harpy Hare (DC, Batfam) (I'm less cowriting this one and more contributing fun ideas but it's always an absolute joy to work with my best friend and my deity OC rp father)

[Podfic] Standing Engagement (MDZS) (done with me, my mom, my best friend, and my best friend's mom)

[Podfic] Rotten Work (MDZS) (which I did with my mom, my best friend, and a few of our other friends)

[Podfic] The Wondrous Sword of Legend (this was a podfic of a fic my best friend co-wrote! We did it with both writers and a cast assembled from a discord server we used to be on).

What fandoms do you write for?

Going by my WIPs, I rotate between... I stopped counting at twelve different fandoms.

Do you respond to comments?

I always want to! And then I chicken out! I stg one day this summer (i.e. when college is not strangling me) I'm just gonna reply to all the comments on my fics.

Angstiest Ending?

Major character death hurt no comfort.

Fic with the happiest ending?

I've written a few 'fuck canon everyone's happy' fics.

Do you get hate?

No.

Do you write smut?

None that I'll allow to see the light of day.

Do you write crossovers?

Yes! Never posted any though.

Ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

Have you ever cowritten a fic?

Yes! I am cowriting one now (for a given value of cowriting, mostly I sit in the back and say 'hey you know what would be so fucked up-')

All-time favorite ship?

Don't have one. Multishipper to the core.

WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

...that's a long, long list.

Writing Strengths?

I'm told I write very vivid imagery and pretty good dialogue!

Writing Weaknesses?

Transitions. And physical (body) emotion indicators.

Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

In fics? I say go for it, we're doing this for fun, but remember that no language, dialect, or accent is superior or more intellectual than any other (and at least bother to look up good 'best language A to language B translators' because they deserve better than Google Translate). In something you're doing in a professional capacity, definitely have someone else who speaks the language double check it, or translate the lines, for you. I think every language in the world has its own niche where it can just express something more beautifully or in a different way than any other dialect can.

First fandom you wrote for?

...I started writing fanfiction in grade school so I genuinely don't remember. First fandom I posted something for was Blue Exorcist, I think? That was... about a decade ago now.

Favorite fic you've ever written?

I have two. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes for Girl Genius because I had fun writing the dream sequence and wistful surrealism of it all, and Pink Hellfire and Plum Stormclouds for Order of the Stick because I wrote that fic years ago but I'm still proud of how it came out.

how many works on ao3?

73!!

Top 5 fics by kudos?

So, how old is that in Tim years?

On Haunting vs. Being Haunted

I will leave the water like someone about to forgive

In the Event of an Emergency

Think of Me

What fandoms do you write for?

DC: mostly Batman, but I hope to branch out!!

D20: mostly Fantasy High!!

Do you respond to comments?

Yes!!!

Angstiest Ending?

probablyyyy Deja Vu? it's meant to be a somewhat. very loosely. look this fic is very stupid and i love it a lot and its relationship to canon is extremely nebulous and it's more accurate to game changer than fantasy high now that i think about it. but it's supposed to be a Kipperlilly Copperkettle canon compliant origin story? of sorts? so angsty!!

Fic with the happiest ending?

I think I'm going to have to go with: Everyone tells me "You're fine don't be in love"!! I think it's the most joyful!!

Do you get hate?

not that i know of!!

Do you write smut?

god i hope i will someday soon. I was struck by visions of dinahbabs earlier today... trackerbees nsfw compels me... stephcass nsfw zombie au can anyone see my vision... and of course. my tragic yuri heljanet set to good luck babe... one day.......

Do you write crossovers?

this is a really good question. Does my Kipperlilly in game changer au count. does my K2 goes to other d20 worlds count. does k2 in VIP count. I do hope to write a K2 vs. Batman fic someday!!!

Ever had a fic stolen?

not that I know of!!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No!!

Have you ever cowritten a fic?

there's several docs in the drive of a Batman magical girls au i was working on with a friend last summer, and the lovely @purrassicjet wrote a sandra lynn chapter for Skin and Soul Deep!!

All-time favorite ship?

ohhh so. so i really don't care about ships at all really. All of my caring about ships is borrowed from other people. Maybe trackerbees because i had a ton of fun writing them for my first time writing romance!!!

WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Very Complicated Women. I posted the outline for what i want the rest of it to look like here a while ago, and i love it i love it so so so so so much but i don't know if id have a ton of fun writing it because i'd want it to be all transcript and im not super in the mood for that and don't know if i will be again? in the same vein, Wayne Family Adventures, which is my fic that was going to be a very strange unreality type thing that started off as a novelization of the wfa webcomic!!! just not sure when if ever i'll be in the mood to write a novelization of a comic!!

Writing Strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at doing dialogue!! I love thinking about what makes character voices distinct!!!

Writing Weaknesses?

action scenes action scenes action scenes. fight scenes. hate them. i need to practice them.

Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

if this is asking about untranslated languages different than the fic's primary language being used, complicated!!! i think it's important to remember that language and how we perceive it is super important!! i think it's important to remember that sometimes, when you think you're phonetically writing out what you think of as just an accent, you're actually taking bits and pieces from a dialect that deserves to be researched more in depth so as to treat it with respect!! the line between a dialect and a language, from my understanding, can be drawn and is often used to discriminate against marginalized communities so when asked about mixed language dialogue, it's a deeper question than I think might be expected!!! and as a batman fan, you know I have to raise the question of sign language!! At the end of the day, I know very little, and think that I would probably just defer to people who know other languages, but the one thing I do know is that if there is a different language being used, it should be treated with respect!!!

First fandom you wrote for?

many years ago, Percy Jackson and the Olympians on wattpad!!

Favorite fic you've ever written?

Difficult difficult difficult. fics that have been finished and posted? Deja Vu or So, how old is that in Tim years? because they made me laugh the most when I was writing them!! not posted? The Stupid Goddamn Jack Drake Vigilante AU, which is nowhere near what I would consider done, but everything that has been written so far was only written because I could not stop laughing about it. Also, the fic I'm working on right now!! (otherwise known as B2 fic!!) mostly because i'm having so much fun writing it. like every time i work on it im just sitting here going oh my god i love writing fanfiction. I have a lot of fics and I love them all for different reasons!!!!

no pressure tagging: @the-flying-robins, @20dimensionsoftangerine, @vechter, @lisziztaken, @blackbatcass, @havendance and anyone else who wants to play!!!!!
