#but it's a fun idea

[sleepy-the-loz-enthusiast]

Hear me out-

A linked universe atla au where Four is the Avatar, but seems pretty inconspicuous so people are like 'wtf is the avatar cycle broken or something???' then nope, turns out Four is just four guys in a trenchcoat with the colours having different bending styles, but as an individual he has all of them as the Avatar

And just to piss people off and cause chaos, Four pretends to be a non bender whenever the Avatar isn't needed

Soooooo finished watching The Dragon Prince recently and then had a realization about a fun possibility for a crossover with the Owl House:

The Collector and The Archivists are Startouch Elves.

The Collector and the Archivists are powerful (sort of?) immortal space-themed beings whose magic looks purple. That sounds a lot like Aaravos and what we know of Startouch elves, right?

Plus, look at Aaravos in a hood vs The Collector and Archivists in a hood/cap:

The silhoutte is very similar. Horns could easily be hidden under there for the Archivists, and The Collector is presumably young enough that their horns could be hidden by their hood/cap.

And even though we see The Collector have 5 fingers in The Owl House, that can easily be said to be an illusion or something to blend in slightly with witches.

Anyway. Since The Collector is "off to the stars" post-Owl House, it's entirely possible for him to stumble across Xadia's planet at some point if we assume he's a Startouch Elf and The Owl House and The Dragon Prince take place in the same universe.

you know what? i'd love to do a series of chick harding + incorrect quote posts

but i have no incorrect quotes to use 🤌🏻

One of my favorite tropes in fiction is a character choosing their friend over their lover. My aro ass can't believe people would choose someone they've known for like two days over the people who've known them possibly their entire life for that "love at first sight" thing.

The lack of romance is also one of the reasons I like the td reboot season more than many past ones. Compared to them, this one is a lot more friendship focused (there's Priya-Millie, Wayne-Raj, Bowie-Emma, and even Chase-Ripper-Zee), and the only two relationships present are either very NOT romantic or pretty much background.

I'm curious and terrified about how they'll handle the second season, because this one is so enjoyable, I think I've already rewatched it more times than I did all the past ones.

one consequence of the idea of “litwick is not even a little bit tamed and at all times 10y/o ingo is only barely restraining it from murder” is if one day he got mad enough/backed into a corner enough that he was like. you know what litwick? today’s your lucky day. YES violence.

Sorry anon I edited out the first two paragraphs, you didn't do anything wrong, it was just long winded and I wanted to get to the point

Now I take the info from the Vivre Card trivia books with a grain of salt, but Crocodile is supposed to be a Grand Line-native according to them, while Olvia is from Ohara, West Blue. Also, considdering just how much Robin looks like her mother while Crocodile (OG or Fem) does not resemble either, the eyes especially, unless Croc and Olvia were like step-siblings (with the same father or something), I highly doubt it

The minor resemblance in S-Croc seems more like a side-effect from S-Croc having larger pupils. Like there is absolutely a possibility Oda could do minor tweaks to Baby Croc's design from what we saw in that ancient SBS, that doesn't have to be the final design he sticks to. But also I do think it's likely the only reason S-Croc has bigger eyes than Baby Croc is because it makes it easier to highlight the star pupils the Seraphim have (S-Shark's are only visible in extreme close-ups because they're still tiny, and I imagine the reason S-Shark's pupils stayed small was because he might've looked a bit silly with larger eyes)

Like it's plausible, but just like with "Dragon is Robin's father" (which I've seen a lot (along with "Luffy and Nami are siblings" and "Luffy and Bonney are siblings" and "Dragon is Bonney's father" (now debunked))), I'm just not sure the connection would like... Do anything meaningful? I mean yeah it'd be a shock and a surprise to find out if Luffy and Robin were step-siblings or if Crocodile was Robin's (step-)uncle, but with the latter especially I don't know how that could even be revealed to either party at this point and if that would change at all how the two might feel about each other. Because like. IDK I don't think I'd care as much if I found out someone is my uncle (as opposed to parent/grand parent), especially when they're That Nasty. Meanwhile, considdering how Crocodile already hated the Government I wouldn't be surprised if he very secretly took pity on Robin knowing she had been on the run since she was 8. Finding out Robin was his niece? Not sure it'd change that.

It's a fun idea, it just doesn't do much for me

Are you still working on your SI!Leviathan verse? Asking, cause recently I have wondered - you wrote a seaborne!Regis au but what about a seaborne!Noctis?

Like, my initial idea was that maybe it was during the Marilith Incident when he was 8. I don't recall any canon info about the precise location (besides between Insomnia and Galdin Quay), but there could be a river or maybe it was near a seashore.

Either way, bb Noctis is thrown into the water during the attack, too injured to swim, maybe even doesn't know how to yet. And Thalassa, well, she's not heartless, she's not gonna leave a little kid dead. (And maybe there's a small voice at the back of her head that points out that it could help her derail the prophecy, if the newest Chosen King was her sea-child.) She turns him into one of her seaborne.

Noctis stays with his Tidemother only long enough to get hang on his transformation (so 1-2 weeks, tops) because Thalassa doesn't want to draw attention to this. Not yet. And then she puts on a vaguely human shape, kinda like Shiva's Messanger form, and takes Noctis back to Insomnia, to his father.

(Regis was Panicking and Raging the entire time Noctis was missing, and thinking that Nilfheim grabbed his baby boy. He Refuses to contemplate the other option.)

No idea what would happen next, exactly, but it would involve a major bsod on Regis and Co's part when they realise Leviathan helped a Lucis Caelum and Much Research into both prophecy and the Astrals, and merfolk legends.

Also, Ignis and Gladio Despairing because Noctis no longer hides from his lessons under the bed, oh no. Now he hides at the bottom of a pond in Citadel's gardens.

While this is a fabulous idea, it doesn't work with the lore I've built for the verse.

Don't get me wrong, Thalassa would 100% be ready and willing to adopt Noctis (especially after she decides that Regis is Her Person), Bahamut already laid claim to Noctis the moment he was born and once and Astral has done so, they've pretty much declared them off limits to their siblings. And while Bahamut has already bent and broken quite a few Laws, Leviathan will not cross that line.

BUT! FOR FUNSIES!

It is absolutely in character for Thalassa to fuck with the prophecy at every available opportunity so, of course, when smol, baby, heavily injured Chosen King crashes into her waters, she's going to snatch him up. (Bahamut: YOU DARE - Thalassa: Well I didn't see you stepping in. What was I supposed to do let him die???)

It'd be longer than 2 weeks, more like 6-12 months. Thalassa isn't gonna rush her new baby's induction just because he's a prince. That title doesn't mean anything to her anyway - he's not her prince. He's her newest son.

So please imagine, Regis absolutely losing his mind over his missing boy. Refusing to believe the worst even though there is no evidence Noctis survived. Nilfheim could have taken him, could have spirited him away into some laboratory - no. No. He will not stop looking until he finds his son or he finds a body. And if he finds a body, Nilfheim will be reminded what happens when a Lucis Caelum takes the field.

As it is, Regis takes a far more active role in the actual warfare - in a way he hasn't ever. In way his father hadn't either. He runs missions himself, draws up plans, and starts pushing Nilfheim back in a way Lucis hasn't managed in years.

AND THEN.

Even with the positive turn of the war, months have passed. Regis is a widowed king with a missing heir. His counsel is making noises about him remarrying, about securing the line of succession. Regis won't hear of it. Despite being no closer to finding his son, he refuses to consider the alternative, refuses to even contemplate replacing him.

And it is in the middle of such an argument with the counsel when there is the sudden crystal fracture sound of a warp mixed with the crashing of a wave as a small whirlwind of water condenses in the room.

The woman that emerges from it is ethereal and inhuman and dangerous. Long sea green hair done up in braids with sea glass and shells and driftwood. She's dressed in sheer layers of cloth that shimmer in the light like rippling water. Her golden eyes flicker over his counsel dismissively before landing on Regis, a grin tugging on her lips revealing pointed teeth.

"King of Lucis," she greets with a nod of her head, "I believe you are missing something."

"Dad!"

His eyes jerk down and that's his son. His Noctis, whole and hale and alive, holding this strange woman's hand and he's here -

Regis doesn't even realized he's warped across the room until he and Noctis are crashing into each other, clinging desperately to any part of each other they can reach.

"How-?" he gasps out around his tears.

Noctis pulls back and Regis can't help the way his grips tightens. His son doesn't let go though, just looks up at him with eyes that are the wrong color and says, "Mother rescued me!"

Regis blinks. "...Mother?"

The woman hums, startling him. "And now he has been returned home, safe and sound," she says, smoothing a hand over his son's hair. "Different than before, but no less loved for it, hmm?"

It sounds almost like a threat but Regis isn't given any time to reply to that before Noctis is blinking up at her.

"You're leaving?" he asks.

The woman nods, leaning down to place a tender kiss on his son's forehead. "This place is not for me. But I will visit from time to time should you wish."

"Yes!" Noctis demands instantly.

She chuckles. "Very well, Sweet Prince. Until next time."

And between one blink and the next, she is gone. She is gone and Regis has no answers and no explanation, but his son is in his arms, safe and alive, and that is all he ever wanted.

[t00thpasteface]

i am unironically obsessed with adam west batman not only trying to be a good dad to robin, but actually succeeding. also love robin's insane energy levels and his ability to go from seething bloodlust to manic glee in record time. i think any superman worth his S would fit right into the family ^_^

[areyouscaredyet]

Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.
