#collector's curse au

[i-am-megalodonna]

Hey bestie sorry my cult tried to sacrifice you to me my bad

[regular-gnome]

Now you've got me curious gnome. What WAS the relationship between the archivists when they were younger like?

(Also I LOVE your work and look up to you ALOT. Have a nice day/night!)

Their relationships have changed since childhood, running through extremes and attitudes but ultimately focusing on a common goal and set of routines. Adding to it, there isn't exactly anyone else older who could be there for them in the long run, so for better or worse all issues are build on or/and resolved between them. In the end.. it's not like they have anywhere else to go, and they don't exactly want to be alone in the void. They stick together, even if some are gone for periods of time

(But I'm glad you enjoy the things I draw! It always makes me happy to see you pop up in my notes and see your interpretation of the celestial critters:P have a cool daynight too!)

About the colors of the cloaks when they were kids, in some previous comics they shared the same teal cyan hue as an indication of being part of the group. Buuut, they already have affiliation indicated by the shadow face ornament.. and keeping the same colours made it difficult to distinguish them. Soo, this is one instance where I need to backtrack a design choice. Not counting in the more casual clothes besides robes that apear in comics too

I recently fell into the satosugu trap and I need a pokemon AU for them as my antidepressant

[chipsoapart]

In the Swapped Willow AU, Terra is swapped with Eda, and Kikimora is swapped with King. (I didn't know who else to swap with King-- So Kikimora was only fitting one I could think of-)

Thanks to @crimson-ace for the name suggestion:

Dad's in home

Some more miscellaneous bits from what I’ve dubbed the scrollswap AU! (The one where the Collector is the one to be trapped inside a scroll this time.)

[scouts-thingsandrps]

“Hello?” Atalanta’s voice was soft as she quickly locked eyes on the ghastly figure in front of her, squinting a bit as she noted how…familiar the figure looked to her before quickly brushing the thought aside.

Though, she couldn’t think of anyone who would want to think about the they were seeing the ghost of both the former emperor’s brother as well as technically their own brother.

Atalanta could hear the Collector laughing inside of their shared mind, making it clear that the star child also knew who was standing in front of them. The two allowed a few moments of silence to pass before Atalanta felt her body tense up nervously as she prepared to speak again.

“Why are you here?” The former coven scout made sure that her voice didn’t sound too hostile. However, since Atalanta wasn’t too sure of the ghost’s intentions, some venom could be heard in her voice.

In the World of Non Cursed Eda:

After everything is said and done, Belos is defeated and The Collector gets adopted into the Clawthorne household.

Sure the kid thought of King as his sibling, Griff not so much and Dyl…never. He fell for her the moment they first met after she punched him in the face (will elaborate later 😉).

Dyl had a hand in helping raise him and the boy did manage to mature in the span of maybe 8 years. With everyone now older and going off to realize their dreams, Dyl gave the young man his own goal. The Collector (possibly named Collin or Enzo here🤷🏻‍♀️) would set off on a journey to experience everything the Demon Realm had to offer (has to do this w/o his powers).

Dyl set this up for him as to not get attached to him as he’s immortal. She also didn’t want him to be perpetually sad about a family that could be nothing more than a vague memory. She also wanted him to get to know the world that he almost destroyed.

The Collector wanted Dyl to set sail with him but she refused as she planned to be a magic/history teacher for the next generation. She tells him to enjoy himself and send letters if he wants but to not expect any back.

A couple years pass and the Collector goes on many adventures and finds a couple love interests here and there but never stops thinking about Dyl. Every now and then he visits her in her dreams and tells her the highlights of his journey. Dyl at first gets mad that he’s using his powers. He refutes this and says he’s not and that it’s just a dream and maybe it’s just Dyl who can’t stop thinking about him. Dyl believes this to be somewhat true and tells him why she sent him on the journey in the first place (thinking she’s just talking to herself).

An upset Collector rushes back to the Boiling Isles to confront the sleep deprived teacher. He says that he’d gladly give up eternity if he could spend the rest of Dyl’s mortality with her. Dyl says to give her time to see all her students graduate before they move forward with their relationship.

Although there are times the young man can still be a bit childish. He fed into Ulric Blaire’s (Lumity adopted son) insecurities, Meadow Park’s prodding & Olly Porter’s carefree nature and opted to help them find a time puddle to their parents’ teenage years. They all had different reasons for the mission and The Collector’s was for them to return older so they could graduate faster.

Later on in his new mortal life with Dyl, the couple has a set of twins.

Okay-okay, okay. I am not a big expert on religion and stuff soooo yeah

So that theory on Collector’s species/dimension being on symbolical Heaven side...

What if Belos just very-very quickly found out about it(or what Collector knew and Belos made conclusions) and used their species as a made up god for demon realm instead of the Titan. They had respect for Titan, but not on that religious level the way Belos made it. And there has to be some info on celestial magic, so it won’t be completely out of nowhere and

Philip would basically groom Collector into believing he is the one to choose the destiny of the isles and Philip will guide them and tell them how sinfull they all are. And just push Collector onto the new god role that will entertain them, but also spun their past(yaknow, the uh, war between titans and celestials??) into this new religious context and will basically tell them how to behave now. (they will definetely enjoy the leader part but also the confusing past will weight on them, pushing into made-up negative filled bounds)

And also I want Collector with all the wings and eyes and all!! Will make them even more innocente and creepy looking!!

[starskulls]

If Belos possesses the collector + harpy hunter happens somehow, the unwritten parts of a fic I have will genuinely become canon to toh. Idk how I'd react to that

[acaciapines]

tonight’s collector post: the collector is owl- beast-kin. sorry i don’t make the rules they just Are.

[i-am-megalodonna]

More of this au :)

[ammonitetheartist]

Oh, how the turntables.

@i-am-megalodonna’s CC AU has once again struck me with the inspiration stick. I had this like. viscerally clear image of the Collector saying this, in exactly this way, and had to draw it. It was a bit of trial and error - took me a bit to get the expressions to look the way I wanted, but when I did? *chef kiss* Very proud of this.

One of the few things that can rival my love for duality is my love for, like… role reversals and characteristic irony, i.e. a character saying or doing something that seems almost ironic, in a way that showcases just how much they’ve changed. I feel like having the Collector shouting something like “this isn’t a game!” would be a p o w e r f u l example of this. Really, I’d be thrilled to see the Collector in general do something like this, but it’s Mega’s AU that inspired the idea, and the one I felt a moment like this would fit the most with.

Genetic Owlbeast Au

The Owl beast isn't a curse that Lilith gave her. It is a genetic curse that comes from their father's side

Which means Dell is an owlbeast along with his daughters.

Well as Lilith is a Ravenbeast and Eda an Owlbeast Dell is a Cardinalbeast 

Birdbeast family ♡

Lilith is the largest and Dell the smallest.

Anyways Gwen is a part of the beastkeeping coven still but not to cure them.

She just likes to work with beasts. 

Also you have to care for beasts to marry into a family of birdbeasts

Also it is less of a curse now in their eyes as generations have passed and they've gotten used to it.

They still unwillingly transform when stressed or upset but they also can transform on their own freewill

Partial transformations are also still a thing.

Literally the only thing that has changed is there is more freewill and there is no 2nd entity with them

Idk if this will be important as I just type my thoughts down but the Clawthornes are related to the Wittebanes

Caleb's wife was cursed with this birdbeast curse. She also was a Cardinalbeast.

Oh also I named his wife Ariane [Nickname Aria]

Why are the Clawthornes cursed? 

The wife's grandmother was a adventurer who got cursed on an adventure

So still not The Boiling Isles magic

-+-+- 

Okay so they all still have their own rooms and 'actual' beds to sleep in. Also to hang out with friends.

They do have a room with a very large nest for the whole family to cuddle in.

I do even mean when they are fully grown.

Eda and Lilith did make their own nests in their closets when they were 10.

Also Eda and Lilith [technically Dell too] as toddlers were adorable. Their owl forms were the size of German Shepherd puppies.

With the age difference Lilith was also slightly bigger. Then she became fully grown and 4× the size of Eda

Also toddler birdbeasts are not to be trusted as they are more acting on instincts then logical thoughts.

Lilith bit Eda for the first time when Eda was a week old. Lilith wasn't doing it to be mean she wanted to play.

This also means lots of cuddles between the sisters growing up.

The sisters as they grew up started to shift from being in mostly birdbeast form to witch form.

Also Lilith was the one who stayed in witch form more often because of her constant studying.

Dell whenever he could would play with his daughters in their beast forms. It was just good all around for everyone.

Dell also stays in witch form more often because he loves working with his hands and his job in general 

Dell sadly still got injured by Eda in an accident. Eda was chilling in her beast form and got spooked by him. Which caused her to take his eye out.

Don't worry he didn't let her run away. For long at least. He found her and hugged her and explained he is fine and when she tried to say she ruined his life he just told her she didn't.

It did take awhile for them to get better. She did injure her father but he also explained he is fine.

His hand is fine and he technically can still carve; he just needed to learn to compensate for a missing eye.

He still decided to plant Palisman trees though and craves normal wood trinkets.

Eda and Lilith have necklaces their dad made them. 

He also made Gwen a wooded flower for her. She loved it. She gave him a gem.

Gwen also loves her daughters. She loves brushing her fingers through their feathers. 

She also loves showing off her scars she has gotten from playing with her daughters as children.

As I said they bit a lot as kids. Also scratches. This is a recipe for small scars.

[I've owned German Shepherd puppies and let me tell you they bite a ton]

Gwen also wanted to dress them up in their beast forms but they kept getting destroyed. Especially by Eda. They just didn't like clothes in beast form as it is too restricting.

Gwen is an adventurer at heart and loves to tell her daughters of her adventures.

Also idk if I still want her to be anti potions as it seems like that derived from Eda's curse in canon but it would be funny if she still was anti potions.

Hmm yeah no she is Anti Potions

Dell isn't though so don't worry. This is something they argue on.

Dell and Gwen are the couple who sleep in separate rooms because they just cannot sleep in the same room.

Dell loves heavy blankets and the soft. Gwen loves thin blankets and neither soft nor rough. Also Gwen snores.

They can sleep in the nest because of her big, soft husband. Also no blankets needed.

Anyway the portal was still found by Eda when she ran away for awhile after hurting Dell. 

He told her if she was going to keep going into the human realm she should learn about it first.

She sighed about it but she did do it. That is because Lilith loves to learn so she just joined in on the human realm learning.

Oh Lilith and Edna's relationship is better than in canon at this point. Like she is still envious of Eda but she isn't cursing her sister because Eda just told her she wanted to join to be with her and that she was going to forfeit.

So yeah Lilth. Sibling issues are there. Mommy issues are still a thing. Daddy issues none… well a tiny bit.

Dell did a good job at showing his kids equal attention.

I am slightly bashing Gwen but it is kinda normal for parents to pick favorites. They just cannot show it like Gwen did in canon and here [even if ever so slightly less so] in this universe I made.

Eda also has mommy issues from her paying too much attention to her. 

You think an adventurer would understand the feeling of needing to be free but she didn't get the memo for Eda.

[Pausing 5/31/2022][Continued 6/1/2022]

Eda runs off to the human realm often and sometimes brings Lilith.

They get stuff from the human realm that they do bring back.

They [Mostly Lilith] went to the library to learn about human history 

That also means they have seen the Wittebanes Statues. Which you know are their ancestors in this au 

A thing I decided is that they know that 2 humans came and not just Philip. I know in canon they only knew Philip but I just don't want Caleb forgotten by his family.

Most people still think only one human came though. Gwen did too until she married into the family.

They have no real reason to keep it a secret. They just want too.

They do have pretty comprehensive knowledge of their family history.

So Lilith and Eda finding out their however many greats grandfather's history in a library was exciting. 

They knew he was human but to find more stuff on him even if a bit scattered.

Also more info on their however many greats uncle. Also excited to learn about their mostly unknown uncle.

Well until decades later when they find out he is Belos and is trying to kill their entire species. 

At least they can help Luz with their amazing knowledge of those 2 dudes who came to the Boiling Isles in the 1600s.

Moving on, Dell tried to teach his daughters how to crave. Both are great at carving. 

Lilith still joined the Emperor's Coven while Eda still joined no coven. Lily wouldn't betray her sister though.

Knowing how to crave is actually how they earned money in the human realm to buy anything they wanted too.

Eda does still steal. Mostly for fun but sometimes she and Lilith bird instincts just go "mine" so they just take it.

Lilith says she has control. Just know she is a big ol' liar. She has no control.

Also Eda got her wanting to care for everyone from Dell.

He also if he could would care for every child he could. Also animals which is why Gwen adores him.

Whenever King gets found Eda immediately adopts him compared to in canon where he decides he wants to be adopted into her family.

This is because she is closer with her family and trusts them.

She also explains to King much earlier than in canon that he is indeed a child. Just a tiny baby who may be the child of some type of powerful beast.

Eda just tells him he is still a tiny king. Also because he is the first grandchild he gets lots of everything.

This may be controversial but Eda and Raine are not married. Shock and Horror I know. 

It is just that they don't want to marry. They are still monogamous and love each other. Just they don't want marriage.

They still did a ceremony for the Clawthornes. Just for a get together.

Also, Raine is still going to be a coven head and it wouldn't be a great idea for them to be married to a very wanted criminal. 

Raine does know the family history also because again not married but still together forever.

However it took Eda forever to tell them. A decade and a half to tell her partner.

Love Eda but sometimes issues are just built in. She does get some help with her issues if you are wondering.

Lilith didn't inherit the need to adopt almost every living thing to be her child. She inherited it in the way to adopt niblings.

Eda is slightly amused and slightly worried

Stopping here for now.
