#anomaly au

[foxsketch6543]

My interpretations of Hank and Dean as lil’ kiddos! :3

This is how I imagined them as children, I've tried not to draw them as miniature versions of their adolescent selves and giving them unique designs for the both of the brothers.

[chronicsheepdrawing]

Hal has difficulty realizing that people ideally stay in one spot during sleep- also that murder is bad.

that ask about the anomaly au fueled this drawing thank you anon o7

AU basic explanation under cut, this is a reference for myself

Fault AU: After the Metal Virus, instead of transporting Sonic to Blaze’s dimension, the Warp Topaz instead takes him to the last place it teleported someone else: right into the clutches of Doctor Starline. Angst level: Heavy. Relationships explored in this one: Sonic the Hedgehog & OC, Sonic the Hedgehog & Surge the Tenrec & Kit the Fennec, Sonic the Hedgehog & Starline, Sonic the Hedgehog & Cream the Rabbit & Vanilla the Rabbit.

Roads Less Traveled AU: Due to various twist in fate and coincidences, our beloved heroes take very different paths in life. Shadow’s pod crashlands on Angel Island, Sonic is taken under the wing (heh) of Rouge, and Amy and Tails have to be the heroes who rise up against the tyrannical Eggman. Angst level: Relatively mild. Relationships explored in this one: Sonic the Hedgehog & Rouge the Bat, Amy Rose & Tails the Fox, Shadow the Hedgehog & Knuckles the Echidna, Knuckles the Echidna/Rouge the Bat, Sonic the Hedgehog/Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat/Amy Rose and MANY more. Things are still up in the air but I do plan on this being a rewrite of the entire series eventually.

Empty Space AU: Potential movie 3 AU, where Sonic is the one to fall from space, and then things get worse. Angst level: Heavy. Relationships explored in this one: Sonic the Hedgehog & Ivo Robotnik, Sonic the Hedgehog & Tails the Fox & Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic the Hedgehog & Tom Wachowski & Maddie Wachowski. I’ve already written the first two chapters of this but then writer’s block hit me like a truck. I do want to continue but I have so many writing projects (the best problem to have, lmao)

Animorphs AU: Five kids stumble across a dying alien, and then their lives take a drastic turn. Angst level: Starts off relatively light, but gets way worse as the series goes on. Relationships explored in this one: Sonic the Hedgehog & Amy Rose & Tails the Fox & Sally Acorn & Shadow the Hedgehog & Silver the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog/Sally Acorn, Shadow the Hedgehog/Amy Rose, and quite a lot more. Also features a metric fuck ton of trigger warnings. 

Anomaly AU: The Paradox Prism shatters into so many pieces- far, far too many. And Sonic still has to gather them. So he does. It just... takes a while. Angst level: Moderate. Relationships explored in this one: Sonic the Hedgehog & Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog & Tails the Fox & Amy Rose & Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog & Rouge the Bat. 

First One Out AU: Sonic isn’t able to burn off the metal virus with his speed, and then things get so, so much worse. Angst level: Heavy, but I’ll tell you straight up that a happy ending is planned (it’s the metal virus, if the ending wasn’t happy it would literally destroy the whole world). Relationships explored in this one: Amy Rose & Tails the Fox & Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog & Rouge the Bat & E-123 Omega, Cream the Rabbit & Vanilla the Rabbit, Vector the Crocodile & Espio the Chameleon & Charmy Bee, Tangle the Lemur/Whisper the Wolf. 

And that’s all. For now. I’m a fanfic writer, I am BOUND to come up with more. $10 says I’ve forgot about a few I should have included here. 

[pandoraarti-fnaf-blog]

Uh oh made another AU

Anomaly AU ( originally called glitched soul but I decided to change it to avoid getting confused with spoiledmilk's glitched AU after discovering it)

I don't know how to properly explain it into words I'll have to try and draw a picture about it later, but its got trippy imagery, body horror on levels of 'the thing' and 'the blob'(the movie) a kind of similar set up of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde but there's more then just Two.

And Canon William just having the worst time of his life.

[comospite]

[lazysoftmilk]

I haven't determined their exact height yet but one thing I do know is that they are quite tall or very tall.

[nevertheless-moving]

unable to stop dwelling on the discworld trouser leg of time where, in the penultimate fight scene in Nightwatch, Carcer manages to kill teenage Sam Vimes.

Which means that the future that Duke Vimes came from can no longer exist, which means he can’t go home. Meanwhile you’ve got a bunch of history monks with stored up temporal energy, a prepared space outside of time, and the need to do some desperate damage control before the Auditors get involved. Death shows up, reality is unweaving, Sam is reading Carcer his discworld miranda rights because what else is he supposed to do.

and finally, with little other option, the monks de-age Sam so he fits the time period and send him back out into the fray.

(they didn't call it deageing of course. His memory is hazy, splintered during that terrible in between moment, They....took the time out of him? Sanded away the edges of his self for a terrible, workable fit? It...wasn't a good feeling.)

Just—damn. Sam Vimes having to live his whole crapsack life over again, but this time as his disillusioned-reillusioned, unwillingly-character-developed, noir-epic, Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes self. 

Younger (Older? He's never felt so Old, His steps so Childlike, reality twisting in his gut like one of Dibbler's pies) Sam Vimes walking around in a haze after the revolution. Desperate to go home, knowing he can’t. Wanting to drink. Knowing he can’t.

The whole precinct feels pity, he really took Keel’s death hard, hardly speaks except to do his job. Eventually he has to grit his teeth and start being present, because what else is there to do?

Resists the urge to drink until Colon takes the whole watch out to celebrate because -he’s going to be a father!

Come on Sammy, one drink won’t kill you— and after the first drink he’s cracking jokes and after the second hes smiling and after the third hes honestly the life of the party and sometime after that he’s crying about how he was going to be a father and my wife would be ashamed if she saw me drinking like this and— 

Oh shit, Did anyone else know he had a wife?? A PREGNANT wife??? What—aren’t you like 12—no you're 17 now aren't you but when did—

You guys n’ver met ’er—oh gods none if you ev’n know ‘er, is jus’ me...

What—when did you lose—

I lost her the same damn day I los’ ev’rythin else, whadya think...bleeding Carcer...the fuckin revolution...

So! That! Sam only vaguely remembers the night, but rumors travel faster than light on the disc, so by the next day the whole damn city knows about poor Sam brung low by the loss of his poor, tragic, pregnant wife, so young to be a widower, and the Seamstresses nod because they already knew, don’t ask them how, somethings you just have to know in that trade.

And his mother—I don’t know, sue me, I’m a time travel fiend but there’s something deeply intriguing about a man meeting his dead parent, who is somewhat younger than him, and stepping into the old relationship like a badly fitting thing that's supposed to fit well. She would know, right? How would she deal with her son’s impossible grief? Maybe she wouldn’t know—he spent most of the time out of the house, running with different street gangs, maybe he avoids her until she dies and lives with the guilt twice over. God, we don’t even know her name. There’s just so much narrative and emotional potential that I don’t even know where to start.

When he’s on duty, which is most time - it’s agonizing because at first he remembers cases, saves lives that would have been lost. But the more time passes, the hazier his memory because in the original timeline he was becoming an alcoholic. Fuck! A kid dies and he could have saved her if he hadn’t been such a drunk, if he had just remembered where the asshole lived, but it’s all a haze, and he wants to drown out his guilt, but that’s what caused this in the first place.

Good young Sammy, who spends his rare off-time in dusty libraries (and yes, the irony that he’s apparently Carrot now is not lost on him) reading gods-only-know.

It’s not like he can ask the wizards for help, cutthroat and vicious as they are now in the not-so-distant-past.

Good young Sam, who...talks to the Broken Drum’s pet Bouncer like he’s a real person and not a dumb rock? That’s a bit weird, but he’s a bit of a funny guy.

Good old Sam, who believed the testimony of the dwarf who said the humans were trying to rob him and let the dwarf go??

the PROBLEMS this man would cause, good grief. Can you imagine a moderately progressive middle aged man with some degree of begrudging diversity and equity training that he did, for all his sins, pay attention to, suddenly going back to like, 1990, going back just 30 years, and going...oh damn this is kind of fucked up, no man you can’t say that, holy shit.

Except Sam’s lived through even more rapidly shifting social moroes! There’s no seamstress guild, there’s no women allowed inside the university, there’s no black ribboner’s society. People hunted trolls for their teeth! But Sam can’t just unlearn everything, and he can’t shut up, and he has no real luck and anyway he would absolutely get himself (temporarily) fired.

FUCK. Sam has no idea what to do with that. None. Zero clue. Wanders around in a haze until that dwarf he saved from police brutality finds him and insists on repaying the debt. No, he insists, do you have any idea what debt means to a dwarf?

“Sort-of?” he replies hesitantly, and that honest admission of incomplete knowledge shows a hell of a lot more respect and understanding than any self proclaimed dwarf-expert ever did.

Gets a job as a surface man, hauling rocks into the city. It’s backbreaking work, but, in true Discworld fashion, it’s also one hell of a workout (again the irony of being Carrot is not lost him. he freezes for a minute while hauling a rock cart, when he remembers he's technically Lost Nobility too, in a strict sense, but someone curses at him in the street and he's comfortingly grounded)

And here is where this au slides into a SPECTACULAR romantic comedy, BEAR WITH ME. Because in his time on the Watch he’s already done noir, action adventure, war story, detective who dunnit, psychological horror, but guards guards only allowed him to be a romance protagonist in an extremely limited context.

Give me righteous, twenty-something-looking, can’t-say-he-doesn’t-have-style, young Sam Vimes, not an alcoholic,  being fed three square meals a day by his dwarven forced found family, hauling rocks. He is startled to find him bumping his head on a low hanging bar that he doesn’t think used to be there, eventually realizing that he’s an inch or two taller than he remembers. Huh. Guess all that bearhuggers really did stunt his growth.

Still doesn’t get what some of the looks from women he’s getting are about, sure, he’s dirty but so is everyone else. Fine, he took his shirt off, but it’s hot out, there’s far wrinklier than him hauling heavy loads, get a life. 

Happens to glance in the Ankh one day when it’s particularly slow and shiny and is startled to realize that he might be turning heads for a different reason. Oh. Right, not that he was ever a heartbreaker, but he did alright for himself... when he was a younger and his face hadn’t been broken so many times. Which...it isn't now.

Is mildly disturbed by the revelation.

Especially once things blow over at the precinct and what with high mortality rates, he ends up with getting hired again. The boys are delighted to have him back, nevermind that he’s an odd one, noone is ever quite in your corner like Vimsey, absence makes the heart fonder, no one else works that hard, and he’s not even competition for promotion. All around great guy, we should set him up with somebody and just, no.

It just keeps getting worse! He’s literate! He’s a feminist! He believes abuse victims! He’s got a tragic backstory! He’s unreasonably good in a fistfight! He’s kind to animals! Word gets around that there’s a good man on the watch and he’s just waiting for a good woman to come snap him up. The widower excuse doesn’t hold people off completely, and for some it’s its own sort-of appeal. 

Things REALLY become stressful after he rescues that carriage full of noblewoman.

What’s he supposed to do? Let them get robbed? Or worse? Chasing down and beating up 10 goons is as easy as beating up one, when they’re that stupid, getting separated like that, drunk and distracted, and he knows these streets better than anyone, really it’s nothing. And oh lord he’s Modest too.

I mean, they were genuinely greatful, as genuine as people like that are capable of being, the skill having grown rusty. And then there is something...magnetic about the man. An air of command.

So, soon enough you get Lady Marigold of Marigrave calling on Treckle Road for that gallant young officer who rescued them, she really needs to thank him. And Viscountess Elanor Thitzferal specifically requesting that he guard her at her next soiree. And Baroness Julieta van Shoeholten insisting that he come to her home while her husband’s away, for... manly protection.

Aaaah just zero sympathy from the guys. None. 'It’s become a competition, they’re just trying to see who can get me into bed first, it’s like I’m a piece of meat, you can’t send me sir, the Marquess greeted me in a nightee last time you made me go to—' and 'small gods Vimes are you even listening to yourself, shut the hell up'.

Simultaneous to this, (again this is several years into the timeline) swamp dragon accessories come into style. Which means abandoned swamp dragons scrounging on the street. Vimes takes one back to his apartment, blows his paycheck on dragon medicine, and eventually, heart in his chest, brings it to the Ramkin estate. The sunshine orphanage doesn’t even exist yet and he’s just standing outside the gates like an idiot, what is he thinking. Turns around, but her carriage is pulling up and—

well. they meet. it's cute. he's never felt so young. he's never felt so old, too old for her, too poor—

and certainly her thoughts linger too long on the awkward, kindly, handsome young commoner, but is it any wonder she doesn't quite connect it to the stern, dangerous, sexy young guard the ladies seem to be in some quiet, cuthroat competition over?

i have this gorgeous, absurd scene in my head in which Vimes is strong armed into standing guard at some high society soiree and one of the pushiest ladies insists he dance with here, or, if he prefers, if he's not confident about his skills, he can dance with her in-private at her home and he’s like [grinding teeth, looking for a way out, seeinf one] “I would be honored to dance with you.”

Steps right into some ultra-complex dance with multiple partner swaps (she never thought he'd pick this one, devilishly intimidating to one not strictly trained, and you barely spend anytime with your first partner).

But he does alright. Better than alright, for a common man, sometimes misstepping but his hands and feet always end up where they need to be. Raises several eyebrows part way into the song because he's throuwing in some slightly scandalous, no innovative, extra lifts and twirls that wouldn't become fashionable for another decade or two. Who even is that guy? Some out of towner? No, no he's in a guards uniform...how very strange.

Gets to Sybll and she's used to embarrassment during these dances, she tries to get out of them when she can... but can't always. Men awkwardly skipping the lifts, or worse, trying and failing. But him — oh it's him, the one who helped little Erold, and looked at her like—like—well like she was someone beautiful. And he's doing it again, and he's strong and there's a quiet moment where she's in the air, they lock eyes, and the rest of the room melts away.

And then the partners change again, the moment ended.

Just...living throught it all again. To the left, a dance he almost knows the steps to, throwing others off balance with erratic moves , honest mistakes, and delibrate stepping on toes. Improvising. Ruining. Improving. Getting far, far too much attention.

Hes almost excited when the first assassains start coming after him. It's like a hobby.

Everyone tells him he should get a hobby.

Interactions with young vetinari...I don't have the energy to write it all down, the slow circling in on each other, both burning with the need to fix the city, save it, their city.

needless to say he ends up fired again, life under real threat after offending some high lord.

Conveniently enough he has an employment opportunity- bodyguard to fucking Vetinari on his 'grand sneer.' The bastard knows vimes isn't what he seems, though sam is pretty sure that he doesnt know the exacts.

Vetinari hypothesis:(the ghost of keel? Keels son, with some hereditary curse? Or a larger spirit of justice possessing a string of unrelated souls? He knows things he shouldn't- mind reader? Fortune teller? Havelock once arranged for a wizard to bump into him on the street, the magical fool gave an odd double look and then muttered something about destiny looping in on itself giving him a headache. Destiny? Lost noble? And hes far too familiar with sybyl, one of the few bearable noblewomen in this city. And his thoughts on guilds, when havelock can trip him into speaking... Most of all, if hes reading him at all correctly (for all the mystery hes not that hard to read, unless thats a very clever cover) then it seems that behind those dark haunted eyes is Respect. Loyalty. For vetinari. What an interesting man. A puzzling asset. An intriguing threat. )

Did I mention the timeline is changing, healing slowly around the place where it was torn? Healing enough around scars to perhaps get some flexibility back, with some painful stretches and...massaging of said scar tissue?

And hes heading to unresting uberwald, a place where a werewolf pack still hunts humans and, truely unrelated but perhaps equally exhausting, an eldritch spirit of vengeance just might be looking to stretch its legs in a hapless vessel?

Jessie “Stormy” Black

(AKA “Cipher”)

(BTW Jessie uses any pronouns but they/it are default)

So far, they were mostly created for my VBros AU that I'm making, and they are meant to be a polar opposite to Pete White and he met them after all the events in VBros Season 7 and the movie and they have a positive relationship. Jessie is a petty hacker and has a history of tampering with technology and computers but works at a Best Buy and is a skilled coder.

Jessie likes old games from the 70s-90s, Sci-Fi media, and has a bad sweet tooth, and loves a lot of candies or anything sugary. (Especially energy drinks!) And they attended Stuyvesant University around the same time Pete and Rusty attended State University during the events of the flashbacks of ‘Past Tense’. They mostly lived in Brooklyn, NY for most of their life. LOL

At some point had started its villain career in the 80s as ‘Cipher’ where they were and at some attempted to arch Captain Sunshine at some point and later on “retired”. And they happen to have some Guild connections but wasn’t registered because they wanted to “fly solo” and didn’t see eye-to-eye with them. But in the very late 90s and early 2000s they kinda rebranded their moniker with themselves being an online blogger where they have conspiracy theories and had dirt on “protagonists” and lots of lore related crap. So far throughout Cipher’s villain career, they were most anonymous and hidden underground in obscurity.

Stormy was meant to be a loose foil to Pete and it has ambition and is independent and claims not to need people. So far, they're each other's yin and yang and are two sides of the same coin but are able to balance each other out pretty well and developed a close bond. But the two are starcrossed but they still have feelings for each other but remained close friends and has a soft spot for him.

Their relationship is kind of like Daffy and Tina from Looney Tunes Show.

Meanwhile Stormy just became their own character while developing them. And them being an anti-villain is a lot of fun writing too. LOL

They do have a history with hijacking and tampering computers media stations, and tech, but they aren’t associated with the Guild. This character also has massive Screenslaver vibes (and Riddler) but just commits petty vandalism and just likes to troll people. Their arc is them having a balance with their double life and touch fucking grass for once.

[chronicsheepdrawing]

Anomaly Fluff because they've all had a rough time.

[keyslox]

this is all pretty obsolete in newer context but!! I wanted to share this regardless of its canon to the story sooo, anomaly sketch comic!!

(TEXT BELOW EACH IMAGE FITS THE DRAWING ABOVE)

Wilbur stares down at Jack in what was going to be a garden/forest area. Wilbur had just chased Jack out of the home. "Wil-" Jack starts, out of breath and clearly confused about what's going on. "You HAVE to die, Jack." Wilbur snaps back, not letting the anomaly finish. "You have to.”

"WILBUR STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Tommy jumps in, standing in front of Jack. He had chased after them.

"He HAS to die, Tommy! Mum needs him dead!" Wilbur stands his ground. Tommy doesn't understand whats at stake here. The weight of why Jack needs to go."HE'S OUR BROTHER!" Tommy screams back.

"HE WAS N E V E R MY BROTHER."

Silence.

With a much calmer tone, WIlbur draws his sword and tilts his head to the side. "Tommy, move." "..What?" Both Jack and Tommy whisper.

"NO!" Tommy goes back to yelling. "MOVE." Wilbur demands. "NO! NO, I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU KILL HIM!!"

"Stand down." No more games, there's a time crunch. "No." Tommy knows this isn't a game.

"Fine."

"Sorry, Jack." From somewhere behind Jack, Techno emerges and with deadly precision swings his pickaxe down into Jack's chest.

[hishighnesstheprincess]

Fault AU is about identity, how to forge a new identity for yourself, toxic relationships, breaking the cycle of abuse, and the duality between heroes and villains. Animorphs AU is about all the shit that Animorphs is about. Empty Space AU is about identity from a different angle, reclaiming your old identity, and family cus I'm nothing if not a predictable baby. Road Less Traveled AU is about all about just the various dynamics between the entire cast but there are more specific themes explored with each character and their closest loved ones. First One Out AU is about leadership from as many angles as I can possibly cram into it. This one Archie AU I don't have a name for yet is about trust and keeping pain confined to yourself. Mecha Sonic AU is about sacrifice and love in all it's various forms and also just pure suffering. Eggdad AU is about Eggman being a bad dad. Anomaly AU I just thought was a neat idea.

[trubblegumm]

I hope this doesn't change things,

but I know it will.

Are you scared? Worried? Excited? Did I meet your expectations, now that you know where I came from?

Aren't you glad it was me, and not you?

You're scared of me, and I'm scared for the future.

I hope this doesn't change things.
