#baby girl is out here trying to turn herself into a new blorbo

[painted-fanbird]

Agit got me thinking about, of all things, a Halfa!Jazz AU and I am having a BLAST with it in my brain <3

Jazz doesn’t have a lot of canon content, so there’s plenty of blanks for me to fill in. This Jazz is a curious thing, she hungers for knowledge and she loves learning. She’s very studious, and has been since she was young, so she ultimately doesn’t really have any friends because Amity Park is a small town and her reputation has been firmly established as a responsible, mature, know-it-all and teacher’s pet Jazz. Good for tutoring, not good for inviting to parties. Not that she’d go anyway, she always says no.

It ends up being that insatiable curiosity that sends her into her parents lab after their latest project doesn’t work. That has her stepping into this very strange machine, wondering why exactly it didn’t turn on. Is something missing? Was it not plugged in? It wouldn’t be unlike her parents to forget to plug it in, they can get ahead of themselves in their excitement sometimes.

She accidentally leans on the button.

You know what they say; curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

Who’s Who of The Little Demon AU:

Hi, I wanted to brainstorm and share it with you guys, so here’s my (very rough) running list of who’s who in my Hazbin Hotel/The Little Mermaid Chaggie AU.

Charlie -> Ariel

Charlie is mostly still herself, except instead of her impossible dream being to redeem Sinners, it’s to go find the angel that she saved.

Vaggie -> Eric

Vaggie is an angel who got injured while in Hell. I haven’t quite figured out why she was in Hell, because idk whether or not I want the extermination to still be a thing.

Angels still need to present a sense of danger, but it feels a little wrong for Charlie to have a love-at-first-sight reaction to Vaggie while fully aware that she’s an exorcist and was just slaughtering Charlie’s people, ya know?

Alastor -> Ursula

The one we’re all here for. Alastor, AKA the Radio Witch, once terrorized Hell… But he’s turned over a new leaf! Or, so he says.

He’s fairly open with Charlie about the fact that he started helping poor unfortunate Souls because Sheer! Absolute! Boredom! but he’s less open about the fact that his entertainment comes not from watching them achieve their goals, but from orchestrating their failure and taking their Souls as collateral.

Of course, like Ursula with Ariel, he has a vested interest in obtaining Charlie’s Soul in particular. I haven’t quite hashed out the details on why he’s so interested in Charlie’s Soul.

It could be because she’s just a very powerful demon and a nice pawn to have, or Alastor could have history with Lucifer and/or Lilith. Maybe Alastor has a grudge against one of them the same way Ursula does with Triton? Just not in a familial way. Might work the Lilith Holds the Leash theory in there, idk.

Husk and Niffty -> Flotsam and Jetsam/Poor Unfortunate Souls

Husk and Niffty are largely unchanged.

Husk:

Husk sold his Soul to save his power, and he’s just as resentful and done with Alastor’s BS as in he is canon.

His Poor Unfortunate Souls parallel is the mermaid who, “longs to become thinner,” except I’m using, “longs to be winner,” or “longs to save his power.” Unsure which.

I like the idea of Alastor throwing around the word “winner” both because it rhymes with the original lyric and because it references Loser, Baby. Alastor is taunting him for trying so desperately to cling to the minor victory of saving his power and winding up a loser anyway.

Niffty:

Alastor aquired Niffty’s Soul while she was human; this is a headcanon of mine that I’ll be exploring in the UHverse and generally extends to most of my Niffty portrayals.

She did it for a man, as a parallel to the merman referenced in Poor Unfortunate Souls, who “wants to get the girl.”

Unlike Husk, though, Niffty has no regrets. She’s arguably just as crazy as Alastor and she’s happy to be along for the ride.

Where is her husband? Idk. I assume he either lived a normal life and went to Heaven or hurt Niffty and faced Alastor’s wrath. Reader’s choice, ig.

Angel Dust and Sir Pentious -> Flounder and Sebastian (Blurred Roles)

Flounder and Sebastian’s roles and qualities are split between Angel Dust and Sir Pentious.

Angel Dust:

Angel has Flounder’s role in that he’s Charlie’s friend in more of a peer way than a hired mentor way. He has Sebastian’s STREET SMARTS! and at least one of Sebastian’s musical numbers: Kiss the Girl.

Both Sebastian and Flounder are fiercely loyal, and I’d say Angel takes the lion’s share of their combined protective nature in this AU. Charlie got him out of his Deal with Valentino, and now they’re ride or die.

Sir Pentious:

Pentious has Sebastian’s job and Flounder’s cowardice. He was hired by Lucifer to keep an eye on Charlie and maybe tutor her in inventing or something, idk.

I’m 90% sure he gets Sebastian’s role in Les Poisson, because I can’t put Angel through that.

Sorry, Sir Pentious fans. Or, I guess, depending on how pathetic/covered in blood/running for their lives you like your blorbos, you’re welcome.

Lucifer -> Triton

This one feels pretty self explanatory.

Lilith -> ???

I can’t decide whether I want to leave Lilith out of this entirely or if I want to make her a major plot point. Either way, I don’t think she has a direct parallel to The Little Mermaid.

She’s definitely not comparable to Ariel’s idolized dead mom, Queen Athena.

Adam -> Chef Louis

I want him to sing a version of Les Poisson with the “excuse my french” kinda french.

Which is to say, I want him to chase Pentious around with his axe while singing about how much he fucking loves killing and dismembering demons with a kind of vulgar, sadistic, vaguely sexual (did anyone else get those vibes from the chef?) glee that makes you question how the fuck this man is still in Heaven.

Lute -> Grimsby???

HEAR ME OUT OK-

In sort of a personality-swapped but serves a similar narrative purpose way. I’m not turning Lute into a no-nonsense old fuddy duddy.

I like the idea of Lute and Vaggie having been friends before Vaggie Fell – or rather before Lute pushed her.

Now, imagine something happens to Vaggie while in Hell, Lute finds her, and she’s talking all sorrs of nonsense about remembering a woman singing after pulling her out of danger. Ok, weird, Lute thinks. “You clearly hit your head. Come on, girl, let’s get you back Upstairs.”

Then, Vaggie shows up with an angel no one has ever seen before, claiming, “I might be going crazy, but I think this is the angel who saved me down in Hell!”

Uh, yeah. Lute is absolutely gonna think Vaggie’s crazy. The whole thing was crazy to begin with, but the one thing Vaggie remembered about her mysterious savior was her voice. And this bitch can’t speak let alone sing. So Lute is incredibly suspicious and does not trust Charlie one bit.

Lute’s role is the skeptic who adheres to tradition, like Grimsby.

Lute’s core beliefs in this AU are:

All demons are evil.

Vaggie was clearly having some kind of head trauma-induced hallucination regarding her mysterious singing savior.

The girl without a voice who showed up out of nowhere is not to be trusted.

Grimsby’s corresponding beliefs are:

Merfolk don’t exist.

Eric was clearly having some kind of oxygen depravation-induced hallucination regarding his mysterious singing savior.

The girl without a voice who showed up out of nowhere is not to be trusted.

They way they present these beliefs is very different, of course, but the parallels are there.

Bonus points if Lute has been trying to play matchmaker for Vaggie but is just really bad at it, and it becomes a small point of tension between them.

Lute: Why are you so obsessed with this new bitch? Come on, how’d the date with Sheila go?

Vaggie: Sheila was a nightmare, tbh. And before you ask, so was Tit. I swear, the only thing worse than your matchmaking is Adam’s names for us. How are you even finding these women? What are you setting me up with your ex-girlfriends?

Lute: …no…

(That is exactly what Lute was doing.)

People I Might Include, but Have Literally No Idea What To Do With:

Cherri Bomb

Emily

Sera

All of this is subject to change, of course. :3

I’m in the very early stages of planning this AU, and I don’t think I’ll be posting anything besides snippets and brainstorming for a while.

[babs-babbles]

Do you mind telling us more about your fan kids?

Lemme try to rack my noggin here

Naomi and Kyla! My blorbos my munchkins my half demon spawns

I don't have any new art of the girls BUT here's the most recent art of them I still have in my pocket

Naomi is a kaieve kid. Spawned from parasite/demon energy cross breeding (aka Eve and Kai'sa got it on real good one night and she appeared the next morning) Naomi (or Mimi for short) is a near spitting image of Evelynn, and the personality to go with it...

Taking well after Kai'sa Naomi is very passionate and outspoken with her interests and gets excited at new projects and learning opportunities. The other half from Evelynn is her dramatic flare on life and constantly making moves for success, a natural business woman and entrepreneur. Is often praised for by Eve for just the smallest things and she loves having her mom's constant attention

Raising Naomi was an odd case for her four moms. She wouldn't do much as a baby, just follow mommy Eve around mostly, or sticking close to her big sister. But she had the rare "demon baby" moments. She's a very strong hybrid who has void powers and demon instincts. It took a full void suited Kai'sa and demon shade mode Evelynn to calm her down from a tantrum. Later on Naomi grew a strong attachment to Ahri's fox form in her kid years, and often turned to momma Ahri for comfort

Some facts about Naomi

- very artistic. Enjoys fashion and painting

- smooth singing voice with lots of range. Loves learning songs in different languages

- an exceptional dancer and her favorite is tango

- is described as a socialite, but keeps her friend circle small

- used to stare blankly at Evelynn as baby, later learned that's how she shows affection

Now for Kyla. She's the oldest and was carried by Ahri. Born from Evelynn's demon energy mixing with the magical power of love for her wife and boom! A happy lil accident :D Kyla is born some good years after kda has made some albums and built a flourishing legacy (I see them all in their late 30s- early 40s when Kyla is born) Eve, Ahri, Akali and Kai'sa smothered their bab with the upmost love and attention as she grew up.

Raised as a legacy to the kda house name, Kyla was exposed to a lot of musical creation at home and grew a particular fond for music production. Often sneaking into Akali's studio after being put down for bed to watch her momma make cool sounds and beats. It's there she learns to create her own tracks and grows to carry on the kda name in the music industry

Personality wise Kyla is very quiet and is selectively mute. Only speaking when at home and to close friends (and the rare interview). Picking up after Akali she's often found held up in her room creating music for hours on end, often getting dragged out by Kai'sa and her sister to get a taste of sunlight. She uses music as her outlet and a way to speak to people and express herself. If not in the studio she can be found curled up in her fox form under Ahri

Some facts about Kyla

- doesn't speak as many languages as Naomi and Kai'sa, but is fluent in sign language

- sneaks out at night to underground clubs to test tracks (the only ones who know are Evelynn and Akali)

- her and Naomi both form the new kda group

- despite her shy personality Kyla has a much different stage presence with more energy

- looks up to Seraphine as her idol

PHEW!! that's all I can remember from like 2 years ago? I'm definitely gonna give them some redesigns tho so these ones aren't that canon anymore. I remember making these girls as a joke like "hurhurhur what if they unexpectedly had kids and stumbled into a chaotic family lifestyle" then ended up really liking the kids I made. Small note tho, I don't see kda actually having kids at some point. Both personally and logically in their universe. These girls exist more in an au setting of kda expanding into a more familial territory

alright I can’t wait because this

The white bathroom door.

This is the moment he realizes that blank door will haunt his nightmares for years to come. What he could have found on the other side. What he nearly does. 

FUCJING DESTROYED ME 😭😭😭😭

Like holy crap this chapter was so so amazing and I think despite the absolute heartbreak, it’s my favourite so far! Just like the emotions??? The intimacy at the beginning and then then everything turning into a war zone.

And then my heart literally sank when Oliver was there and saying all that shit. Oh my god.

Firstly tho, god damn you Chloe. Like, I don’t believe her! If she is pregnant then it’s probably not Dieters… (I hope lmao) or she’s lying because she knows he’s going to leave her otherwise. But girl, you’re not having his baby!! 😂 I can’t wait to see what is actually true and to hate Chloe even more lmao!

But their fight 😭😭😭 so much emotion and aggressions and sadness and hurt. All the freaking hurt in that room in that moment 🥺🥺 my poor little heart!! Poor Natalies heart too because I’m sure you could probably actually hear it break.

But I’m so glad Dieter could call Heidi and she came and helped him 😭😭 and he’s gonna go to rehab for himself and get better for himself and be happy for himself 🥺 and he was nominated for an Oscar!!! 😭 I’m sure it will be such a tough and hard road but I’m glad he has someone there for him!

And Natalie.. 😭😭 I had a feeling something like this was eventually going to happen and while I hate to say it.. maybe it had to. For her to also realise that this isn’t the life she wants to have. That she deserves a better one, a happier one! I’m just so glad she made it through because you could’ve absolutely shredded our hearts right there lmao!

But the way you wrote that, the way Dieter found her. It really was like I could feel his desperation and fear, got my hands all sweaty! It was written so so beautifully and so sad and I legit wanted to cry a bit.

Fuck Oliver obviously, hope you rot in jail 💕

(btw I’m watching the new season only murders in the building and for some reason I always picture that Oliver and it’s absolutely fucking hilarious 😂)

Just.. Aaaaaaah!!! Like this was such a sad and heart breaking chapter but I also feel weirdly hopeful? Like shit went down. Absolute rock bottom and it sucks! But now the only way left is up again, working on rebuilding the rubble and maybe it’s gonna be so so much better then.

Also Natalie finally said she loves him 🥺 I know they’re gonna find their way back to each other eventually and hopefully have their issues and problems worked out so they can finally get to know who the other person really is and love each other even more and better than before 🥺

AND RECOVERY ROAD GOT AN OSCAR! 🎉

Man this was just an amazing chapter and I am so soft for these 2 characters and I just.. sigh

You’re such a brilliant freaking writer! Thank you for sharing 🥺 (also I wasn’t sure where to send this ask so I hope here is okay but if not then the next one will be to your Pedro blog!!! :))))

im having kind of a rough day and this . . . ooof, this got me real good.

aldjfalkadsf i would never do anything to actually hurt Natalie forever, she's come too far. fanfiction is supposed to be fun and i am too much of a wimp to really kill a character forever -- or do something that prevents the blorbos from being happy in the end. this is the lowest the fic will ever get, so you're right! the only way forward is up!

I've been writing fic for years and the scene in the hospital is the only time i've actually made myself tear up. i think it's easy to forget that natalie is 13 years younger than dieter and just by the nature of time itself, has more life experience than her. she's still young herself and trying to figure it all out. my heart just broke for her :(

I LOVE only murders in the building and that oliver would be horrified and disgusted by this oliver! Martin Short is absolutely hilarious in that role -- i need to catch up on the next season!

thank you so much for all your words and support. it really truly honestly means the world to me! i was really, really hoping you'd like this chapter and i can't wait to hear what you think of the next one.

You make all of this very worthwhile!
