One of the most heart-wrenching things that've ever happened to me occurred while trying to research the Super Paper Mario art style.
"Ohh what a beautiful and interesting art style! It is very distinctive! I wonder if anyone else has tried or wanted to try breaking it down and replicating it?" Obliviously, I typed in Super Paper Mario Art Style into my search bar... only to find many people calling it ugly and saying they hate it.
This simply could not be... permanent damage was done to my artistic soul.
No joy? No whimsy in this world? No love of computer graphics? Of a certain era of clipart? Of the art that was born from the computer and is difficult to replicate without one? Of the art made when this was something new and fascinating? No love for something unique?
Super Paper Mario don't listen to all those haters I love your geometric art style influenced by what shapes are easily drawn on a computer and the smooth mechanical interpolation within your animations. I love you. Also the music is banger.

Seeing as I'm at the beach and missing my north eastern mountains I got thinking about a yet another Au. And I did moodboards for the first time so sorry if they suck😦
Snowboarder Au
Chloe Charming is the best snowboarder in the country, having won competitions and Olympic medals, but after an accident leaves her with trauma and a dead best friend her family send her back to their winter home in the Swiss Alps where she unintentionally sees the girl she had a winter fling with during her first Olympics where she won gold and of course she's a mountain rescuer who's mom owns the largest mountain resort in Switzerland.
Alessandra "Red" Hearts didn't always want to be a mountain rescuer, but after saving her friend while the two were skiing she found an unexpected passion for the job. So when she comes back to her mom's resort during the peak season of skiers and snowboarders she doesn't expect to see the snowboarder who broke her heart in her mom's cafe with whip cream on her lip.
It's a sitcom style fic with the two reconnecting once again with snow shenanigans and a few heavy topics sprinkled in as Chloe gets back on her board again and Red lets herself be vulnerable again after getting her heart broken.
---
Also side note it was so hard to find any winter fit Kylie picks for the moodboards, has she never gone anywhere cold before??
My EMT job really shining through with this one even though I've never done any mountain rescue before I find it really interesting.

Dean feeling inferior to Endverse Dean because Endverse Dean founded like 6 different hunter camps and got offered a bunch of territory by a really powerful boss woman with physic powers and therefore got an army.
Just for Dean to then go to Ichabod and charm a powerful boss woman with physic powers to convince an entire trade alliance at the end of the world to give him territory and people to create another hunter base for his army. Under his first year in that world, I must say.
Captain of being oblivious to his own influence AND trying to win competitions against dead versions of himself.

(Here's a crack/ship fic I wrote! Have fun reading XD ps. Please ignore the first one I saw a typo and wanted to add moreee)
Sukuna ate a burger and blamed it on Sukuna who another Sukuna believed was telling the truth, so he felt unsure around the other Sukuna’s presence.
So another time when the same thing happened again that Sukuna took no time at all to put it on the same Sukuna.
That Sukuna is sad, upset that the other Sukuna wouldn't believe him.
When there came a time where the Yuujis met, Sukuna wanted another Yuuji for himself, but Sukuna won't let him. Threatens to paint his guts to the walls and the ground red.
The Sukuna relented and pulled back, afraid. Then he left to sit on his own. Another Sukuna watches from the sideline, shaking his head from the scene.
Sukuna, realizes this then goes to talk to the Sukuna and starts to talk about how he doesn't hate him and even appreciates his company. He's different from other Sukunas, more innocent than others. He may be clumsy, but he's also trying his best and that's such a beautiful and heartwarming l thing.
Sukuna, surprised and even a bit touched, starts to blurt out what he thought the other Sukuna was great at and that he wanted to be like him. To be strong, to be able to protect his Yuuji as he does with his and when he's with him, he felt a blanket of safety around him even with his demonic aura.
The two said their pieces and sat there in a comfortable silence and after a moment the other Sukuna reached out his hand, a start to friendship.
The expression on the other Sukuna looks a bit torn and stricken with some kind of grief, but he continues to smile before grasping the waiting hand. Then there's a tug and he was pulled into a tight embrace. His eyes widened, unsure of what to do before he slowly started to wrap his hands around the other's back.
Then the other older Sukuna spoke.
“I hope we can be friends.”
Yea 👍

When they got back everything seemed normal, better even. Until the mandatory curfews that suddenly started. Chloe went to Auradon Prep for a year before Red came and they time traveled, so when she heard about the curfew it pulled her in a loop; seems like things have changed in this timeline.
Their first night Red and Chloe weren't yet aware of the curfew. So while walking back slowly to their dorm, chatting about how weird everyone acted and how they were shoved out of a store the second the sun set the rustling from the tree line leading up to their campus didn't set off alarm bells yet. As the rustling grew louder Chloe pulled out her sword and urged Red to continue walking; as if she was going to leave her princess alone.
The rustling turned out to be a giant wolf that neither girl has ever seen, bloodlust in its golden eyes as it tried to attack them, only managing to injure Chloe a bit before running off, its prey too much work to kill. Red panicked as she helped Chloe the rest of the way to their dorm, the red that stained her hands and clothes looked wrong against Chloe's soft blues. But with bandages wrapped the two agreed to not tell anyone, thinking it's not worth the risk of getting into trouble and since Chloe is while now.
That next morning the bandages were taken off to replace only to find fully healed scars over the wounds much to both of their confusion, but Chloe was fine so they never mentioned if.
Chloe was not fine.
A week and a half after the incident left Chloe tossing and turning in her bed, whimpering in pain as her bones broke and reformed. Red thought that she would die when she say what was happening to Chloe. She didn't understand what was happening as she tried to wake up Chloe thinking it was a nightmare before the bones snapped.
Getting pinned down by a seven foot tall wolf that has curly dark brown hair with a few strands of blond mixed in was not on Red's bingo card, nor was her roommate turning into said werewolf. The second Chloe breathed in Red's scent she instantly stopped any aggression before becoming a complete puppy. It was adorable and when they cuddled to sleep and woke up in each other's arms Chloe didn't remember what happened and Red wasn't blushing at her naked roommate cuddling her not at all.
In three months the two found out that to keep the balance in the world it allowed the supernatural into their world. Which is how Chloe ended up as a werewolf although Red would call her more of a werepuppy.
It wasn't until some classmates cornered Red, harassing the girl that Red understood that Chloe was just being gentle with her. The two students closest to her got their heads slammed into the ground, their heads sounding like basketballs as they lay motionless with skulls cracked and blood staining the cobble beneath them. The rest of the students backed up in horror, no one has ever seen a werewolf in a public place in broad daylight, but here was one who casually killed two kids and was now staring them down snarling.
Red was just hyper fixated on the blood dripping down Chloe's clawed hands, the dripping echoing in her head before a cold nose is pressed against her cheek and brings her back to the present. The two run away from the crime scene, because it would take too much effort to explain and Chloe definitely needed to shift back.
When someone comes knocking barely twenty minutes later, barging in seconds later and finding the two in a more than compromising position. The Fairy Godmother gave the two a moment before questioning them about a werewolf that critically injured the two students, just barely lying through their teeth before being left alone.
Safe to say both Red and Chloe have to figure out how Chloe shifted in broad daylight with the full moon being weeks away. There's love, death, political corruption, and a familiar villain who's the cause of this supernatural presence.
