Blue AU-niverse General info and FAQ!

Link to the comic here!

Link to character references here! -General FAQ-

Q: What is Blue AU-niverse? A: A Steven Universe mom swap AU comic, where instead of following Steven, son of Rose Quartz, we instead follow Nora, daughter of Blue Diamond, and the events that follow her 23rd birthday.

!!Mild spoilers below this point!!

Q: Does this mean Blue and Pink completely switched rolls? A: Nope, everything in the Blue AU timeline is the same up to the corrupting light event.

Q: Where is Steven?

A: He’s not in this AU sad to say.

Q: Does Nora know who her mother is?

A: Yes, Blue Diamond wasn’t hiding her true identity, and Blue Pearl and Greg have no reason to hide it from her.

Q: Was Blue Pearl in love with Blue Diamond? A: No.

Q: Why does Amber look like a moth/butterfly? Is she corrupted?

A: No, Amber isn’t corrupted. She’s an experimental Gem type made unconventionally, so she looks a bit different.

Q: How big is Nora's gem? A: Her gem is the size of her torso basically, I have it to scale in an older reference sheet here:

Q: Is Nora’s gem REALLY that big?

A: Yes.

Q: Was her gem always that size?

A: No, in my AU her gem grows with her basically. It's my fanon interpretation of a similar thing but in reverse with Malachite from the show having Jasper's gem, but it scales to fit her size.

Q: Can I do crossover fanart/fusions or fan art in general of your Nora? 

A: SURE! I’d love to see it if you do, be sure to @ me !

Q: Will Spinel/lapis/jasper be in this AU?

A: yes!

Q: Will the OG Peridot from the show be in this AU?

A: No, she’s specifically stated to be an Era 2 Gem, and does not exist in this AU due to there being no Era 2 due to story reasons.

This is the Pinned Post

Hiiii! Welcome to my blog. I have several fandoms and random things on here, aus out my ears and more fics besides.

You can find my fics HERE on Ao3, but only if you are signed in as a member as they are locked.

Or if you wanna try my original stories and get a surprise fantasy au every month, you can poke at my Patreon HERE.

I have story samples of all the currently published OG stories under the #Melodies and Manuscripts or the #patreon 

The #Melodies and Manuscripts tag also has snippets and ao3 links to various fanfics I’ve done/am doing.

Also apparently there’s a trend going around where people are Rude™ and feed unfinished stories into an AI in an attempt to get some garbled garbage that counts as an ending and are taking silence as express permission so here:

YOU NEVER HAVE PERMISSION TO COPY, REPOST, OR FEED MY STORIES OR CHARACTERS TO ANYTHING ANYWHERE EVER. NO REPOSTING TO OTHER SITES, NO FEEDING ANYTHING INTO AN AI OF ANY KIND. PEOPLE WHO DO WILL BE CURSED BY THE LEGO GODS TO STEP ON EVERYTHING POINTY AT LEAST TWICE A DAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, THEIR TOES TO ALWAYS BEING STUBBED, AND THEIR INTERNET TO ALWAYS BEING BROKEN.

Okay? That clear enough? Great. Good talk.

Asks are welcomed but I can’t promise Tumblr won’t eat them or that I’ll get to them anytime soon, just please mind the tag rules on the ask box (also do not send me links or videos in the asks, and do not ask me about rl things unless it’s a general “how’s life” or a question about a fandom, game, or other piece of media you wanna know if I’ve seen or something, please and thank you!).

Feel free to ask about my aus, but if you do please specify which one by it’s exact tag name when possible because I have literally hundreds if not thousands of these suckers at this point and chances are high I will not know which au you are talking about unless you specify XD.

Also if you ever wanna draw fanart of my fanfic, that is okay. Just please keep it SFW, credit the story it’s based on, and then tag me if you post it to tumblr because I love coming over and flailing over it. :D

Making Shigaraki Make Sense

Is anyone else confused by the “character” Shigaraki not his disjointed philosophy or whatever? I literally don’t get what’s going on as a writer. He’s confusing and I have no idea how to write him into a fic - and honestly, there are barely any Shigaraki-centric fics I like out there. 

(If you have any thoughts on Shigaraki’s character or recs for Shigaraki-centric fics (preferably ShigarakixIzuku) do leave them in the comments/DM me :D )

However! I found a solution - basically, I stopped being lazy and actually did the thing I normally do when writing a book: a Character Sheet!

Essentially, the way that I understand Shigaraki (by which I mean I don’t) didn’t gel with the story I was making or the relationships I was building, so, I figured I would build him from the ground up!

Which meant research. Ew.

First things first, I kept his physical description though I gave him scars where he got shot during the USJ arc. But since I don’t know what exactly he’s got going on with his skin, I thought I might explain it as a mixture of conditions: being extra dry (Catching UFOs by mrjengablock - which I just started reading - talks about how that might be helping him have direct contact with objects without oils/sweat getting in the way), stress-induced eczema, and a very mild dust allergy (lol). Also, I’m not leaving him like that just because! I’m doing that to show how little he cares for appearances (based on societal expectations) as well as not caring about the pain or even thinking that’s just how his life has to be for him.

Enter Izuku!

Izuku helps him take care of himself, buying him eczema cream, washing and styling his hair, and getting him petroleum jelly (which I assume would be the least painful and least likely to react badly with his cuts). This is how I can show that Shigaraki can compromise and does consider Izuku’s opinion and shit. 

Second: Shigaraki’s personality.

I basically used what was on the BNHA wiki but added that he cares about Izuku and that he gets less irritable as time goes on. He also feels proud when Izuku says/does things that go against the hero status quo. He also changes from believing in chaos for the sake of chaos and being directionless under AFO (seeing as in my fic AFO is dead).

Third: Shigaraki’s relationships

I did a lot of changes here, the most notable one being his relationship with Izuku. As Izuku didn’t go to UA, they didn’t meet until Izuku was 20 and they had a couple of one-night-stands that devolved into the mess of a labelless thing they have rn. Think open relationship with someone you’re constantly arguing with but would die for. 

Since LoV isn’t exactly a thing, rn, Shigaraki only has close contact with Dabi and Kurogiri. He still has a master/servant relationship with Kurogiri - actually, it is more pronounced here than in canon because AFO is dead so Shigaraki is his only boss. Dabi hangs around the bar and still works with him as muscle, tech guy, and a friend. He split up with Toga on good terms (this will become relevant later in my fic). He’ll meet Spinner online and they’ll bond over gaming. I think I’ll have him radicalize Spinner. We’ll see. As for AFO, he slowly realizes how AFO was just using him, moulding him.

Fourth: Shigaraki’s past.

It’s the same, lol. Except I’m pushing the USJ and training in the mountains arc to Katsuki’s last year in UA. Additionally, AFO and OFA die after his kidnapping.

Fifth: Shigaraki’s political ideology.

BNHA is inherently highly political and I don’t know why I’m surprised it’s such a letdown when it tries not to be. Honestly, some of my biggest gripes are right here. It’s trying to make Shigaraki an “anarchist” the way that the West colloquially understands them to be. (He wants to end society as it is and believes “the strong should live, the weak should die, and I am strong”.) Which. I can’t explain how much I find that annoying. In canon, he’s just an annoying manchild who can’t even take his thoughts to their logical conclusion. Dude, if you hate the fact that you were overlooked in a world where there are heroes and you suffered greatly, what do you think will happen to all the children in the world if you destroy it!?!!?!!

Anyways.

I’m not saying it’s unrealistic to make him this destructive while also making his grievances and actions clash - but it does make him stupid. Or willfully ignorant. And I don’t think he should be. He’s strong, he’s charismatic (in his own ways) and he already has a bunch of negative qualities (stubbornness, bad temper, etc.); he doesn’t need this.

So, instead, I’m making him start off with the same ideology except it’s going to get refined with AFO no longer controlling him and Izuku being in his life. I don’t wanna spoil too much but I’m thinking terrorism/stochastic terrorisim, using social media, (political) tailing (i.e. using other political movements to build your own), espionage, etc. All of it to expose how the hero system is corrupt, corrupted, and unnecessary and to find other ways for people to live the life they want to live no matter their quirk. Basically telling a story where you can imagine that he sees himself as the hero of his own story instead of an unthinking villain.

Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this. BTW, I found Lots of Thoughts about MHA by  sarehptar (Tumblr post version) to be a great resource when I was just staring to think about my BNHA fic: The Long Defeat.

Name: Wheeljack (‘Jackie)

Pronouns: He/Him

Height: 21ft

Colouration: White,Green,Red

Species: Cybertronian

Affiliation(s): Wrecker/Autobot

Bio: The ruffian. The uncouth. The war-hardened Wrecker of Cybertron now calls Earth home. With friend and foe laying unaccounted for and scattered about the wind and stars, Wheeljack finds himself drawn and repelled to the blue marble over and over again, finding an unusual solace underneath the leadership and wisdom of Optimus Prime, and eventually (initially begrudgingly) Ultra Magnus, as well. His bold charisma and daring nature makes him a formidable opponent and admirable ally, though his desires for solitude that often find him in times of more bitter hardship, paired with his unyielding front in the face of change, have created many a rift in his ability to fully commit to the necessity of teamwork encouraged and upheld by Team: Prime.

Main-verse: Set within the midst of Season 3 of Transformers Prime.

Wheeljack has finally, albeit reluctantly, committed himself to the Autobot cause - serving under Optimus Prime and reporting directly to Commander Ultra Magnus (much to his chagrin). He's got family here now; friends - some in the shape of old seasoned Wreckers like him, others much much smaller yet equally and admirably uncouth as he. But the call for the stars is a pressing one - one that the war-hardened Wrecker knows all too well. With Megatron looking to wreak havoc at every turn with his new Predacon pet, just how much is Wheeljack willing to take before he makes a beeline for a couple of stars over?

Additional verses:

Set within Season 2 of Transformers Prime.

He was itching to know what else lay out there, amongst the stars and asteroid belts. But he didn't find much. A few friends here and there yet unfortunately a few foes as well, namely Dreadwing - there's a 'Con with a war-hardened Wrecker-sized death-wish. Now, Wheeljack's alone - pottering around the blue marble the 'Bots have decided to call home, and wondering where he fits. News snippets on 'Bot and 'Con radio waves indicate there's a hunt on, decrypting some old dug-up texts as a treasure hunt of sorts - mystifying relics of another time and gems that could turn back the ravages of time and restore the future. With all this action unfolding, Wheeljack sporadically wonders why he ever left at all.

Set Post-war/Post-series.

Back on familiar ground, Wheeljack relishes a revitalised Cybertron and it all has to give, but old wounds of authority are hard to miss with Optimus Prime now One with the Allspark and Ultra Magnus running the show. Ratchet is off in Kaon of all places to begin the start of the rebuilding process on the medical front for migrating refugees. Bulkhead is here, there and everywhere with his construction. Smokescreen, Bumblebee and Arcee are rounding up newsparks like no tomorrow. And Knock Out...somehow he's become the Chief Medical Officer presiding over the Northern territories...and the only one that ever really pays him a visit. Of course, it'd be the Decepticon-turned-Autobot keeping tabs on him. But what's a war-hardened Wrecker to do when there isn't anything for him to do? Unlawfully tampering with Ultra Magnus's boat several times over and putting her all back together, duh...At least, until he finds something better to do...

★彡 No godmodding.

★彡 Not a mutuals only vibe, but it is preferred for my own ease.

★彡 18+ = no minors! (Mun is 21+, and NSFW themes may appear).

★彡 Semi-selective ~ I’m pretty open to working with everyone, but Wheeljack isn’t always…please bear that in mind!

★彡 Open to shipping/relationships but can be selective ~ Wheeljack is naturally flirtatious/out-there/friendly to most.

also, it's been a while since i last went through my followers, so tomorrow i'll be doing a mass purge. if you don't have your age in your bio, you will be blocked. no if, whats, or buts about it.

let me repeat that:

If you want to remain following this account, you must be over the age of 18 and have said age in your bio, or pinned post. somewhere that is easily accessible so that you don't end up receiving a phat block.

okay since that's literally impossible to misunderstand, and honestly with its size, miss, make sure those are up and ready in those sweet bios by tomorrow or you'll be gone!
