i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:
"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.
an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.
You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.
If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.
Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
#fandom#fandom infrastructure#fandom history#was working on the ship polls blog and the comments i get there often reminded me of this#every once in a while i've gotta reacquaint myself with the xkcd expert familiarity comic principle#and the general knowledge that people dont explain the basics of fandom anymore so people have to learn it on their own#while everybody just expects them to know it and that's not fair to them!#i will also put my usual thing: folks are always welcome to ask me anything about fandom stuff#it can be specific pjo fandom stuff or general pan-fandom stuff#i have been in fandom for a long time and i am happy to explain things#legitimately if anyone ever has questions about even the most basic of fandom stuff. go for it. i love talking about it

i don't think you guys understand the levels of lesbianism in this scene
this 90 caliber electric net is caitlyn's E ability......aka, she's the ONLY champion in league of legends that can use this ability.........thus, the writing decision to have vi, a separate, melee league champion, be the only one in the show that EVER also triggers it (someone informed me that cait does use it during Hellfire), with her bare hands (and against another champion, at that), suggests levels of intimacy and trust that i can't even comprehend
additionally, this isn't the first time caitlyn's given up her gun (aka ALL of her special abilities) for vi, either
oh to have a girlfriend
#i love league of lesbians#this is the kind of intimacy they talk ab on ao3#or you know what.#this kind of intimacy surpasses everything that even sappho could have dreamt up#to be fair ambessa couldn't comprehend it either#“...and the third?” WHY WAS SHE SO INVESTED lmaooooooo#not even ambessa can truly escape vi's charm and charisma#and i know exACTly where maddie got the idea to shoot cait in the neck bc look where that knife was headed#oh noxus.....they're gonna have to do a LOT to make me love you in the future shows#vi using a ranged ability and cait manually choking singed. when will the lesbians stop winning#looks like the episode 6s got a lil fruitiness to them#caitvi#caitlyn kiramman#vi arcane#arcane#league of lesbians#piltover's finest

a superrrrr self indulgent post frontiers comic
haven't made a comic in about 5 years so I'm super rusty. but this was good practice!
#i need to get better at drawing consistently lol#but i drew this under a major time crunch for a zine fair so the fact that its done is a major win for me#insecure about how the art looks but im happy w the writing#theyre like mid 20s here and i think they would've gotten better at communicating over the years#but at the end of the day theyre still sonic and shadow#ugh i have so many thoughts about them. both together and as individuals.#my art#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#sonadow#sth#sth fanart#sonadow comic#shadonic

so close yet so far
#ffvii#cloud strife#zack fair#zakkura#my art <3#i will never shut up about that nibelheim hotel scene.#which one? all of them.#oh yeah lemme just watch over my friend and make sure he feels safe and comfortable while he's recovering from a twisted ankle.#and soothe all of his worries when he wakes up just for good measure.#and also ask him about his relationship status.#and when cloud's memories of zack finally start to surface again#he can't even remember his face because he was too busy staring at his hips.#boy...........

i am personally of the opinion that emily axford and lou wilson are the two best dnd players of all time. nobody has both the tactical genius and connection to their roles that they do. they don’t just play their characters, they ARE their characters. they could each give a masterclass on multiclassing as well.
#I LOVE THEM SO MUCH#i feel like we talk a lot about how incredible lou is as a roleplayer but not enough about his battle prowess#like fabian is such an incredible build#i didn’t realize that fighter/bard could even work that well together#to be fair i think the homebrew weapon helps but still#but yeah i was watching both of them in fhjy and taking notes#fig’s story was so beyond a character. that was real shit!#dimension 20#d20#emily axford#lou wilson#intrepid heroes

theres a certain youtuber that i like and every once in a while i see some bullshit drama starting video about them and i'll start it like "oh no did they do something really bad" and every time its always "idk they just strike me as really creepy" about extremely normal social anxiety/awkward behaviors.
anyway some of yall are extremely not okay about very minor "not fitting in" behavior and it's really really cruel. stop being fucking mean girls.
#like i cannot imagine being this person these videos are my absolute nightmare scenario#that i'd do something awkward and weird and slightly annoying#and 1000000000 people hate me forever for it#yall may or may not know which youtuber this is about but i dont want to name them because again: nightmare scenario#to be fair. there's an entirely DIFFERENT podcaster that this ALSO happens to#yall can probably guess that one

Cloud actually did a very bad job emulating Zack's persona, because the defining trait of Cloud-as-Zack is "cool", and Zack wasn't actually cool but he was to Cloud. Zack views Cloud getting to live as a relief and Cloud views it as a curse. Zack thinks saving Cloud was his One Good Thing and Cloud thinks of Zack as the ideal hero and himself as the Mistake. Zack would probably been overjoyed when Cloud recovered his memories because up until his death Zack never really came to terms with The Concept Of Zack Fair, but we know he loved The Person That Is Cloud Strife.

Interesting Scarabia Duo Eye Detail


If you look closely at their eyes (specifically the lashes/makeup), Jamil’s rounded eyeliner doesn’t seem to behave the same as Kalim’s - Kalim's remains in the same position when he closes his eyes, whereas Jamil's ends up moving downward like this:
...Which implies that Jamil's isn't eyeliner, but in fact his own lashes 😭
And conveniently his loungewear card shows us how he looks without makeup, which also confirms that yes, he's... naturally like this, bro's just built different I suppose
#twisted wonderland#twst#kalim al asim#kalim al-asim#jamil viper#syder txt#it is not fair he looks this good and its All Natural#ive been drawing jamils lashes that way since i already noticed it before#so the jamil part wasn't news to me but#the event put them side by side for a neat comparison#and i was surprised kalim’s eyes don’t behave the same way#also kalim has a very cute little pointy lash#and if ur reallllly insane like me#if you zoom super close you can tell that kalim's eye makeup is separate from his lashes#while jamil's is just one continuous line

This is entirely self indulgent and I haven't even gotten to the indulging part yet.
#I really hope the synonpis makes sense bc im really bad at explaining my thoughts on anything lol#i just wanted to post this first to provide context for the minorly insane things I plan to post later#to put it simply this au is an excuse to post about a ship that I have yet to see even once#but to be fair it could be out there I haven't been reading as many fics as usual lately#you can tell how much i just needed this comic out of my brain by how simple the tone is and how sketchy everything else is#i didn't have the sanity to get distracted by making loop shiny i needed to put them in situations dammit!#loop isat#siffrin isat#fanart#digital art#artists on tumblr#comic#my art#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#isat two hats#isat two hats spoilers#isat au#isat loop loops au#isat loop de loop au

i love that neil is canonically 5’3. like it’s easy to forget that he is also pretty small because of how much freaking aura this kid has in every room he walks into. i always forget that he’s literally like. he’s a short king. andrew’s known as the “tiny” goalkeeper but neil isn’t that much taller. yet he has insane presence so you kind of don’t even notice most of the time. and i love that he leans into things like his speed, his endurance, his agility when playing exy in line with this, as opposed to strength/size. it makes me love him even more.
#neil josten#aftg#the foxhole court#all for the game#aftg actually has the shortest main characters i think i've ever encountered?#i saw “5'3” and CHEERED king is the same height as me#love the short people in sports rep like let's goooo#also love that you kind of forget most of the time that neil's pretty small bec of how much Presence he has#same with andrew tbh but i feel like his uh lack of height is commented on more tho he's quite tiny to be fair#anyway! those are my faves and i love them.#andrew minyard

I love that Adaine goes, “Oh, she’s STUPID” whenever an NPC has an off moment when her best friends are:
-a guy who tried to fight hardened pirates with the members of his dad’s pyramid scheme
-a girl who tried to ribbon dance down a tower
-a guy who got tattoos of incomplete anagrams because he thought they were clues
-a guy who thought every stranger was his dad
-Hilda Hilda
#they’re her emotional support idiots and she loves them very much#except riz who just had that one day and is otherwise very smart#also in fairness sometimes its Siobhan talking#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fh#fhjy#fantasy high junior year#dimension 20 fantasy high#d20 fh#d20 fhjy#dropout#dropout tv#adaine abernant#riz gukgak#gorgug thistlespring#fig faeth#kristen applebees#fabian seacaster
