#but he is. a withc XD

-Slides in very stylishly- So the withc / witchy au....

Oh my god I have so many thoughts already

Okay so FIRST: the amethyst.

Because of the ourple I am already associating it with the rift-- since Grian does illusion magic, do you think one of his abilities with the amethyst could be to send others into a make-believe illusion world? To make them see and 'live in' other hypothetical 'timelines' and possibilities? In Grian's hands, I could see these powers either turning out wondrous or horrific... or a chaotic mix of both.

And SECOND: corvid Mumbo will never not make me go tee hee -kicks my legs back and forth-

God I can imagine him being a very good fit for a witch that runs off of crystals, being instinctively inclined to snatch up shiny things on default. Do you think he has his own personal collection of crystally knick-knacks outside of the amethyst Grian gives him? And when Grian grows those wings in, oh boy... Mumbo is going to have quite the situation in his hands. Teaching him to fly, to preen, to avoid knocking everything on the shelves over every time he turns around.

Anyways, looking forward to the other stuff you come up with for this AU!! I'm very in love with the designs and concept!

THE AMETHYST YES!!! YOU GET IT!! I CHOSE A STUPID PURPLE ROCK BC OF THE STUPID RIFTY PURPLE YOU CRACKED MY CODE XDXD

I’m trying to do research on like. Dnd and elder scrolls types of magic to get a sense on what is feasible to like, just some self taught witch BUT. I think sending physically sending someone to like, a fake dimension of his creation would be the end goal, for him. At the moment he can probably handle more hallucinatory things? Or hypnotic things? like as long as the target is asleep he can create reaaally realistic images of, like you say, timelines and worlds :] if I were at all informed on any EVO stuff id say theres some watcher influence BUT! Im not ^^; sooo grian just be doing wacky things XD

YES CORVID MUMBO bro I was drawing him with the black wings and I was thinking of you and your vamp grian avian mumbo au XD AND YES! As in my previous post I totally thought mumbo and grian grow closer simply because mumbo’s bird brain gets transfixed on grains crystals :] actually- I considered making mumbo steal some of Grian’s stock and grian turning mumbo into a familiar to stop this behavior but I decided the familiar adoption process has to be consensual… and mumbo had to be nice to Grian’s collection XD after they’re connected tho? Yeah mumbo just puts pockets some of his stuff sometimes XD honestly yeah tho. He probably finds stuff when he goes around flying and I wouldnt be surprised if mumbo brings something back and Grian’s like- dude. How did you get that thats super magically charged. And mumbos like idk shiny :>

IM THINKING SO HARD ABOUT WHEN GRIAN’S WINGS GROW OOOOOOOOOO yeah honestly- I think as mumbo is getting used to his human form he also knocks into things? But quickly adjusts? But once GRIANS wings get big? Yeah no it takes him a while to stop rushing around and knocking alllll his fragile stuff around (me thinking about grian flying for the first time…. That does something to me….)

IM GLAD YOURE INTERESTED OOO IM SO EXCITED<333

In withc au, have you decided which other hermits are familiars? Do the familiars ever hangout with each other or do they stay close to their witch?

I don't know for sure yet! i only have a couple thoughts- like i want pearl to be a familiar, a dragon specifically but i dont know who she'd be partnered with? and just because i love fox etho i want him to be a familiar as well but i dont know if he really SHOULD be a familiar ^^ everyone else is up in the air atm!

there's no like, official meeting between familiars like there is between witches, but I can see familiars of witches who are friends would gossip a bunch!

Part of being a witch's familiar is that you feel a pull to your witch, gets stronger the farther you are from them and especially when they call out to you. The familiar adoption spell is a reaaaally old spell, and it was originally meant to make an animal serve its witch, so the spell is still commonly executed in the same way and prompts the animal to serve :P
