DOVE + BANG CHAN !!

his first stray kid!!! probably the one member this girl can exist in pure silence with! dove can usually be seen on music video sets rather quietly from the side at most times, and chan used to think it was because she felt left out as the only female. naturally, it concerned him and he thought he needed to do more about it. until one day, he discovered it was simply because she’s more happier during filming days when she can observe and look out for everyone while they’re having fun. it all changed afterwards, he began to invite dove along to the studio so she can have a human presence work with her in silence. it is comforting for them, especially on late nights when neither of them can sleep. he’s the first friend she ever made when she joined JYP, and like felix, chan went far out of his way to help her out with learning korean.

DOVE + LEE KNOW !!

oh how this giant cat ADORES dove! he’s a little more fond of the girl, as she showed a huge passion for dancing and shared great performance synergy since the day they practiced together. dove constantly says that lee know is her role model, and she’s not afraid to repeat it until her lungs go dry. when she needs help, she basically has this man on the very top of her speed dial list next to changbin. he loves to joke that “cats can prey on birds if they’re not careful,” and dove will look at him in pure horror every damn time.

DOVE + CHANGBIN !!

your new favorite leo besties! he’s the reason that dove is really into fitness. one invite to work out early in the morning on a random weekday turned into dove becoming his workout buddy! changbin helped dove bounce back and feel more secure about her physical appearance, letting her know she’s doing her best even when she’s at her lowest. sometimes, all you need is someone to cheer you on from the sidelines while you’re working towards the best version of yourself — and that’s what this pairing is for each other. whenever dove is working on solo music, changbin is easily the first person she’ll call up for guidance, and typically in the production credits every time!

DOVE + HYUNJIN !!

hello, you’re looking at the most dramatic duo in stray kids! if anyone side-eyes more than hyunjin, it’s 100% dove. but don’t be mistaken, they’re the most supportive besties ever! at this point in the group’s career, members are beginning to work with other artists — and every single time hyunjin does what he does best: perform? you can bet on dove to be the first to post him or gush about his progress to stays on bubble. dove is quite famous for taking hyunjin’s gorgeous art and writing a story behind it — who would’ve thought he could turn her into a poet?

DOVE + HAN !!

say what you want about jisung being the definition of a quokka, but in her eyes? he’s the human version of her little russell terrier puppy, leo. always by her side when promoting, just by natural instinct. dove is han’s comfort person when he’s feeling low or anxious, she knows just what to say without fail every single time. she’s always making sure he’s taking care of himself, but not without sharing inside jokes or laughter in the process! they’ve collaborated numerous times on skz-records and he asks for her opinion on his demos all of the time!

DOVE + FELIX !!

the one pairing that “can’t make up their minds about each other” — is the wording they’ll choose to use in order to cover up how they feel. they got close while they were trainees because dove was a lot like felix when she moved to south korea, she wasn’t the best at korean either — so naturally, they leaned on each other. but at some point, the lines became blurry. according to felix’s world: the leaning turned to yearning, the yearning turned to “closer than friends,” then to “we’ll never get the timing right will we?” this is a special, sacred friendship — maybe one day, dove will figure herself out. for now? they’re best friends, the two sunshines of stray kids.

DOVE + SEUNGMIN !!

y’all remember the trainee beef between han and hyunjin? well, dove and seungmin’s friendship didn’t exactly start off pleasant either. on the survival show, the two vocalists felt particularly threatened by each other’s potential so things began rather rocky — scared one would kick the other out of their spot on the final lineup, bickering constantly. turns out, it was just quite literally the survival instincts talking — because now the two are inseparable at times. rather than no longer bickering, it’s turned into playful behavior that comes from love and respect for each other.

DOVE + I.N !!

jeongin is her baby! her maknae! she literally begged on knees to be part of maknae on top, could you blame her? she’s the biggest jeongin bias out there. she still cannot get used to how much he’s matured visually, or how handsome he’s become. she’s the first to let out gasps and have a dropped jaw during his scenes when they monitor their performances. as the oldest and youngest in vocalracha, dove harbors a special connection with jeongin and constantly gushes about his growth as an artist. this is a friendship so pure and special, she is forever the first person he’ll lean on for a little love.

Mini Mayhem (And the Softest Spiral)

Supernatural | Found Family Fluff | Chaos, Soft Boys, Babyfication |

The witch was laughing. That was their first bad sign.

“Okay,” Dean growled, tightening his grip on the angel blade. “What the hell’s so funny?”

The witch just grinned, all blood and madness. “You’ll see.”

And then she said a word that cracked through the room like thunder, and the air changed.

There was a scream — but it wasn’t the witch.

It was Sachi.

Sam reached her first.

But when he got there, the scream had stopped.

She wasn’t there anymore.

In her place was a tiny child, standing barefoot on the floor, wrapped in an adult-sized flannel.

She blinked up at him. Wide brown eyes. Pouty little mouth. Wispy hair falling into her face.

Three years old. Max.

Sam stared. “Oh no.”

Dean sprinted in behind him, blade still drawn. “Where is she?! Is she—”

He stopped cold.

His face did something Sam had never seen before. “What the hell.”

The toddler blinked at them again. Then she beamed.

“Dee!!”

Dean nearly dropped his blade.

Sam’s mouth fell open.

The baby girl clumsily waddled toward Dean and wrapped her tiny arms around his leg. “DeeDeeDeeDee!”

“Okay,” Dean said weakly. “I’m gonna have a stroke.”

She turned to Sam. “Sammyyyy!”

And then he had a stroke.

Later, at the Bunker

“She’s three. Like—legit, actually three,” Sam said, scrubbing a hand down his face.

Dean was holding her like she was made of crystal, tucked against his chest, tiny fists curled into his shirt. She had finally stopped babbling and was now snoring softly.

“Dude,” he whispered. “Her socks are like the size of Tic Tacs.”

Sam flipped open a lore book. “The witch is dead, which means we’ve got to reverse it ourselves. I think it’s a mind-body curse, tied to regression.”

Dean frowned. “So... she doesn’t remember anything?”

Chubs stirred and mumbled, “Deeeee,” before falling back asleep.

Dean looked like he was about to cry. “I think we’re gonna die.”

Day One

They made her a pillow fort in the library. They fed her mac and cheese and apple slices. Dean tried to teach her how to say “Chevy,” and Sam read her lore books like fairy tales.

And when she fell asleep in Sam’s lap, Dean pulled out his phone and whispered, “This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Sam smiled gently. “She’s so small, Dean.”

Dean was silent.

Then: “I forgot how much I missed this.”

Sam glanced up.

Dean wasn’t looking at the baby. He was looking somewhere else — past her. Maybe into the past.

“I mean,” Dean said quickly, like he was covering something, “it’s just... she deserves to have been a kid, y’know? Not just... thrown into our mess.”

Sam nodded slowly.

And they both looked down at the tiny thing asleep in their arms, wearing a sweater Dean had cut and hemmed from one of his old band shirts.

She sucked her thumb in her sleep and whispered, “Sammy.”

Sam's breath hitched.

Dean whispered, “We’re screwed.”

Day Two: Baby Chaos

“You let her eat glitter glue?!” “It said ‘non-toxic!’ She looked hungry!”

“Dean, she just cut her own bangs!” “Technically, you left the scissors on the table, Einstein!”

“Why is there pancake batter on the wall—”

“DEEEEEE,” came the shout from the kitchen.

“...Never mind.”

They’d gone full spiral.

Dean was on Etsy looking at tiny flannel jackets and custom kid-sized boots. Sam had ordered three sets of baby-safe lore books and was halfway through a paper titled “The Psychological Development of Toddlers with Supernatural Memory Regression.”

At one point, Chubs waddled up in a unicorn onesie and showed Dean a scribbled drawing labeled “ME + DEE + SAMMY = HAPPY.”

Dean clutched his chest.

Sam almost choked on his coffee.

They hung it up on the fridge with a pie magnet.

Dean whispered later, “I think this is what retirement is supposed to feel like.”

Day Three: The Spiral Deepens

Cas popped in, saw Baby Chubs wearing one of his trench coats like a blanket, and simply whispered, “...I would burn the world for her.”

She squealed, “CAAAAS!!” and showed him her toy moose.

Cas deadass knelt down, kissed her on the forehead, and said, “I have witnessed celestial miracles. None as pure as this.”

Dean was like, “Okay, we need to do a cleansing or something, because the angel’s crying now.”

Sam sniffled too. “Shut up. So are you.”

That night, Dean carried her to bed, tucked in with a stuffed bunny and a nightlight shaped like a star.

She mumbled sleepily, “Dee?”

He brushed her hair back gently. “Yeah, sweetheart?”

Her little fingers curled around his.

“Stay.”

Dean sat beside the bed and cupped her cheek with his hand.

“I’m not going anywhere, baby girl.”

Day Four: The Return

They found the reversal charm.

Sam was nervous. “What if it hurts her?”

Dean looked down at her — still in his arms, half-asleep and drooling on his hoodie.

“We’d never let it,” he said.

Cas performed the chant. A soft light filled the room.

And then...

She was there.

Older. Herself. Back in her body.

Curled up on the floor in a pile of blankets and Dean’s hoodie.

She blinked up at them. “...Why do I smell glitter?”

Dean didn’t answer.

He just dropped to his knees and yanked her into the tightest hug in human history.

“You said my name,” he whispered into her hair. “You said Dee first.”

Sam hugged her from the other side. “You tackled Dean and drooled on his face.”

Sachi blinked. “Sounds about right.”

Dean was definitely crying. “You wore a unicorn onesie.”

“And you looked adorable,” Sam added.

Sachi smiled slowly. “You guys really missed me, huh?”

Dean pulled back just to look at her face, eyes red. “You have no idea.”

---

Baby Drawings and Flannels

Later that week, they found one of her baby scribbles still taped to the fridge.

It was a stick figure drawing of three people — big heads, smiling faces, labeled “DEEE,” “SAMMY,” and “MEEEEE.”

Dean took a picture of it.

Printed it.

And framed it in the war room.

Sam pretended to protest.

Dean just shrugged. “She made it when she was three. And she still remembered us. That’s gotta mean something.”

Sachi walked in with toast in her mouth and said, “Still remember you now, dorks.”

Dean grinned. “You still call me Dee.”

“Wanna make something of it?”

He held up a tiny flannel shirt from the shopping bag. “Only if you wear this again.”

Sam groaned. “Here we go.”

Naruto ice hockey AU!! a good friend suggested there should be more art of hockey equipment and then I went out and started looking at hockey equipment for references and then this wedged itself into the back of my mind until i gave up and painted it. click for better quality. Yes i have mock ups. They will not see the light of day until I finish all 3 jersey variants ! AU and design notes under the cut if you fancy <3

Lore… i used to run a Naruto blog when I was much much much younger. you are currently witnessing my old special interest cross over with my current special interest.

Bits and pieces from this AU that I’ve been rotating in my mind:

Welcome to the Elemental Nations Hockey League? :D

Every season they play for the Kaguya Cup, named after the mother of ice hockey who invented it eons ago with two sons on her hip ! Yeah sure we’ll go with that….

I present to you the Original FIVE: the Kumo Cloud, the Iwa Quake, the Kiri Mist Wraiths, the Suna Dust Devils, and the Konoha Leafs !! Sorry to actual Leafs fans but I thought about this for much longer than I want to admit and there is no other name that makes sense here. I just think they’re fun <3 (SO many translatable motifs and ideas and I can’t include them all here)

3-man units EASILY become lines. I thought about this and yeah . Yeah. Team 7 is still comprised of Naruto-Sakura-Sasuke OBVIOUSLY . there is no gender segregation in this AU because i chose joy and fun when dreaming it up. also they all wore 7 in juniors. 777. 7-UP line LMAO. jackpot line? Team 7. haven’t decided.

Naruto quick facts: winger, wears the C (eventually) undrafted in his first eligible year, taken 111th overall in his second (he was a late bloomer + canon-compliant asshole child era meant nobody wanted his ass!! Konoha took a chance on him!). Wore #7 he wears #1 because of his draft position and because he’s gonna be the best player EVER. <3 He thinks he’s normal about Sasuke (he is not)

Sasuke notes: winger, wears an A. went 1st overall. No weaknesses … the Perfect player ! except he is Not his brother Itachi who ALSO went 1st overall about 10 years ago. the world wont let him forget it . Itachi is now retired for medical reasons but works in hockey as a scout, but the comparisons haunt our little man… </3 Sasuke’s D+1 year he wasn’t ready for the ENHL and everyone started calling him a bust because he got sent down!! SAD!!!! Wears #77 as a Leaf because they all agreed it would be fair no one should have #7. Trade rumours to the Oto Thunder every season like clockwork because Orochimaru, Oto’s GM, originally tanked to get Sasuke in the draft and FAILED…!

Sidebar i believe in my heart that Naruto and Sasuke played for rival juniors teams; the Uzushio Tempest and the Uchiwa Flames…… let me cook here alright,.. i just think they developed an intense fixation on each other and got thrown out of games for fighting ! Ironically this rivalry unlocked their potential and they were in a heated scoring race thru the entire season…..

Sakura: undisputed center and the bus driver of this line!!! wears the other A! Drafted 7OA and everyone was mad about it because they wanted someone else. Wore #7 through juniors to spite them !! Currently wears #16 just like her hero Tsunade <3 Tactical mind, not naturally talented but worked hard for everything she has, an extremely effective playmaker… I think she is built like a tank… terrifying power forward Sakura…………….

They play for the Konoha Leafs obviously...! Theyre the cringefail girlies for about 2 years once they make it to the ENHL, godbless . Lots of individual flashes of brilliance but no long-term success and zero team cohesion as they are shuffled around. Naruto and Sasuke both have a go at being center but they both Suck at anchoring a line like that.. they aint made that way (to ME!!!) Konoha Leafs on the verge of collapse and wasting another 5-7 yrs of being mediocre. Then one day coach Kakashi decides ‘Hm. Maybe. i will make Sakura play with these two assholes.’ And the rest is history!!!!!!

Listen I just think she would corral their worst impulses and keep them in line…. I feel like she’s a very responsible and smart 2-way player and balances Naruto and Sasuke’s heavy offence out. They get really dangerous the moment they settle into their roles. 777. JACKPOT!!!!!!

Various team mascots are the tailed beasts? <3 I just think it would be neat….!

Lots of expansion team ideas (smaller villages) and a junior league (clan associations !) many ideas…

DESIGN NOTES

In-universe, the above design is a 3rd jersey nodding towards Konoha's heritage. Prior to becoming the Leafs in the ENHL, they were the Demon Foxes!

WHY did i choose a third jersey…? This idea popped into my head when i heard rumours the ducks were leaning into their orange county ties in the rebrand and i thought ouuuhh you know what would fuck severely… naruto x ducks brand collaboration…… oramnge…. I love orange <3

Anyway Naruto had his heart set on being a goalie before tragically being moved to forward (the skaters …they YEARN for the pipes!!!!) so he wraps his stick in that insane goalie knob style <3 Where did you get that red and blue tape from Naruto…. C’mon now don’t be shy …

Blade is orange taped bc Naruto loves orange so bad. There are various ideas about white sticks/white tape being harder to see against the ice and i think he’d like the idea of taping his blade orange bc the doesn’t need that competitive advantage lol

Konoha home jerseys are green/brown/white/red/blue (think something closer to the Jounin flak jackets) More on them later mayhaps…

Out of universe, I based the colours and design elements largely off Naruto’s outfits over the series. The black and orange is a nod to his first outfit in Shippuden — note the black on his shoulders cutting across his chest and the shape language of the piping on the abdomen.

The red piping is because reaaaalllly wanted to add his Hokage robe flames but i tried it and thought it looked lame as HELL . So i suppose we will save that for a specialty jersey somewhere down the line (many thoughts… many many thoughts….)

The blue/white/red on his skates, sleeves, and gloves is an homage to the Uchiha, who had a hand in founding the team + have people within the org. I imagine the Uchiha clan as this, idk, juggernaut of hockey dynasties…!! A finger in every possible pie. Maybe they have partial ownership of the team. They do equipment manufacturing (gloves, skates, tape!), PR, scouting… everything!!!

Shoulder patches are Uzushio’s whirlpool insignia.

The ribbed neck guard is a reference to Naruto’s first jumpsuit design. He definitely thinks he doesn’t need a neck guard until Sasuke mentions that they’re kind of cool — a blatant manipulation to get Naruto to wear one. <- they are unwell about each other you see

Naruto tapes his hockey socks different every time for good luck. someone said variety is the spice of life and then he heard somewhere else that spicy foods promote longevity and his wires got crossed and now he thinks of variance = spice = a long playing career.

[meatball-headache]

Hrm... we haven't heard from Tagashrokat in a while, have we? Or... was it, Tagashkarot? You know, the weird guy going on about algebra all the time, sucks at Scrabble, went all the way to Qud to get a walking stick even though we have a perfectly good stilt factory just a few parasangs away, and you could probably repurpose one of those into a walking stick? He kept sending letters "home" to the ink mines, which no one wanted to read, but old habits die hard and since we wanted to harvest the ink from the pages, we accidentally read them in the process. Something about being chased by an evil twin, and then going to Bey Lah but exploring some caves first?

Anyway, we want to watch Ace of Cards Presents: Billaventura Presents: The Domino Majesty 6000 Cavalcade tonight, but we can't find the remote. He had it last, and we think he might've left it in his jacket pocket, so someone's gotta go to Qud and find it. And, I guess, check up on Tag.

—

So, this is Nid Yimum. He was found in an egg carton amongst some other eggs, but when he didn't scramble like the rest, he was donated to the ink mines, where he shirked more than worked and thus developed heightened hearing, so as to know when the boss is coming and where to hide, which is easy to do, since he's got phasing as well, and, just to round things out, night vision. Since Tag hasn't been heard of since he ran off into the desert alone, Nid here is gonna take a look around. He's made it all the way to the village of Tarqammu and... hey, didn't Tag mention some legendary pilgrim in yellow? Maybe this is the guy, perhaps he can give us directions...

On another note: yes I did find a mod that changes Hooks For Feet into hooves/flippers/other things. So I made a character with hooves, spiral horn, thick fur, electrical discharge... yeah. Yeah, I just made Wicked Thunder, and she's awesome :)

My new New Year's Resolution is to beat this game. I'm trying not to look at wikis—though I did peek at how penetration rolls work, because I couldn't figure out why my 1d4 weapon kept doing like 16 damage—or Youtubes or anything. I want to be blind, ignorant, and stupid. There's obviously lots of RNG to the lore, but there's also obviously a thread of a real story. The writing in the characters' dialogue as well as the item descriptions is preposterously florid and excessive, and I love it so much. There's secrets and mysteries here, and I don't want to just read the last page—hell, I don't even want to read the next page, I want to drag it out and really savor it... It's gonna be a long ride, but like I always say: I'm not here for a good time, I'm here for a long time :P

Good luck, Nid Yimum! I got a hunch that you're gonna need it...

[greencharisard]

I don't think I've ever shared this guy here, he's an old character that I had semi-abandoned after the group he was made for on dA disbanded (Glowchus). It was something I longed to be part of since I first found out abou it in 2013 or so, and I finally won a spot from a contest... it lasted a few months before being nuked from the internet and tbh I still don't fully understand what happened.

You may wonder what exactly spurred me to work on him again. Well I found out Glowchus have been revitalized and like... have a website and stuff??

I could use his first design and register him on the new site, but tbh I've learned my lesson about trying to develop a character while relying on other people's OCs to create interactions.

So he's not a glowchu anymore, where does he go? Why into the PMD universe of course! He's a regular old pichu obsessed with a book series that sees two factions of special 'chus at odds with each other.

He loves to infodump about the lore to anyone that will listen, including his best friend Nathan (Nathy for short) the shiny lotad! They love to play pretend and want to become a rescue team when they grow up.

He evolves into a pikachu by his mid teens and that's when he started becoming a bit delulu.

Because he has a bit of an unique tail marking he convinces himself that he's a descendant of the characters from his favorite book series (he isn't). He starts adding a marking to his tail with fur dye, wearing leather gloves and earbands to also mimic it, gets a tatoo; the works.

He and His friend Nate become a rescue team and he names it "Team Elementals". Since they're both pokemon that evolve with elemental stones they make a promise: they'll waith for each other and evolve together.

Things are going great for a while, despite Tobio's habit of taking on dangerous outlaws; that is until they finally got their hands on a water stone and a thunder stone. Tobio had gotten so deep into his delusion that the possibility of the evolution not reaffirming it terrified him, and when they eventually got to evolving his fears came true.

He was just a normal raichu, no special traits, no fancy markings, no elemental powers...

For a while he's deep in denial, he keeps dying his fur and drowns himself in dangerous jobs, until reality comes and kicks him in the face: on a mission to capture an outlaw he and Nate punch too far above their weightclass. They go after an extremely dangerous Salamance criminal and while Nate comes out of it with just scratches and bruises, Tobio in his stubborness to prove himself a hero gets his leg bitten off.

It's an harsh wake up call, the recovery takes months, but Tobio's spirit is what takes the hardest hit. He becomes jaded, bitter, starts taking on jobs based on the reward only, stops caring about the dye job on his fur ecc.

Aaaand that's how far I got here! I have a multitude of ideas on how to continue his story but that will come later once I have more characters ironed out. Love my idiot son and I'm glad I decided to bring him back to the pokemon world <3

Who are we?

You may have seen our posts, or reposts, and been a little interested but with no idea of who we actually are. Well! Here’s who we are!

Guardians of Silverpelt began as World of Warrior cats, an upcoming roleplay warrior cats site using world of ___ as a base. In the past few months, this changed. We moved away from the site and moved away from being called warriors and using clans. We changed to having 5 kins in our very own territory developed by our kin leaders.

Instead of being based in the warrior cats world, we are now directly inspired by it but we’ve made it our own. We have Thunder’s kin, Shadow’s kin, Sky’s kin, Wind’s kin and River’s kin and of course Star’s kin (Starclan) and the forest of eternal darkness (dark forest). We also have our own rouge groups! Our lore has been built by our site authors and our members help contribute to it.

As of right now, the site is still being built, but roleplays have begun on our discord and don’t worry about joining months into its building, there is always room for more people and OCs.

[player-1]

Oh…That’s a wonderful piece of lore but now that’s going to be a doozy to fit into the main story (mostly figuring out how long each Abyssal were alive before they were killed by the Guild or Lateria). Also ignore the different avatar, I did encounter this convo before in my playthrough but didn't get the chance to get screenshots :')

And HC Abyssal timeline below

Venefelis (1,000-0): The real polecat (HC that she has phantom paws cause she has Pummel in her skill list :) and Operation Kill the Witch. Of course, after being forced to stay in the timeout corner for 1,000 years, she became really existential about her own existence, her creator's absence and trying to figure out why the Abyssals were made except being overpowered cannon-fodder.

Rotramus (700 [-300 yrs.]): Considering that the Guild would be at its infancy and still aware of Venefelis' impact, it makes some sense if they started hunting down Rotramus to prevent a repeat incident. Also consider he's a twisted mirror to Nara's personality (anti-human but will possibly answer any question to anyone that finds him) and might've been a rip-the-bandage creation due to Nara's infamy with her family's downfall.

Pluvean (500 [-200 yrs.]): Yet another pacifist Abyssal that was found by Palmaya and just waited for the Guild to kill him (but I like to believe he discovered Cadium at some point and was disgusted by the humans "corrupting the waters"). Even if he's the contrast to Arqua's short temper and drive for human adoration, Pluvean is also a bit snippy about stating the obvious and being revived past his expected lifespan.

Inominox (400 [-100 yrs.]): And just when the Guild develop a false sense of security with dealing with the Abyssals, Inominox comes in with the big guns and starting picking off any weak tamers he could find (possibly making the Frozen Tundra his main hunting ground). But with Ventra's pride and cockiness spelled his downfall when the Guild intervened during one of his attacks. But whether the victim was too traumatized to recall his trigger or the information was lost to time, the Guild was back to square one when the Abyssal was revived.

Helevolk (350 [-50 yrs.]): Of course, there's not a lot to say about Helevolk besides being a more unstable version of Fona despite having a surprising amount of mental/emotional strength (mainly with him breaking through the N1 Nightmare mind-wiping to an extent), but it's a bit of a mystery on how he got his name despite being just as mindless and violent as a normal Nexomon [Hele: "to hide" + volk: "army" or "person/people"]. And I assume Lateria killed the beast by redirecting his tunnels or cornering him in the tunnels.

Caelesa (310 [-40 yrs.]): But to make matters worse for the Guild, they have to deal with another pacifist, human-avoidant Abyssal that will surely make them doubt their anti-Tyrant campaign. Of course, there's no real explanation how she was taken out or how long she evaded the Guild (and/or Lateria), but she clearly had enough time to believe that humans were dumb and violent brutes that have nothing better to do in their lives besides hunt what threatens them (though mostly directed at Finn the second he explains the Guild’s history with her). And fun fact, despite Caelesa being Normal-type (like Metta), she has a interesting set of elemental moves under her belt (also like Metta) so do with that info as you will :) [Base moves: Rocknite Blast, Thunder Blast, Plasma Star, Psy Field]

Volcel (280 [-30 yrs.]): Then after that wild-goose chase comes the giant electric moth(?), also being human-avoidant but will also mock everything and everyone below him for being simple earth-dwellers (really embodying Luxa’s superiority complex, huh?). While there isn’t any concrete evidence on how he was caught (since the Guild jumped to making a standard Tyrant bait), I’ll assume it was Lateria and their extremely heavy ordinance.

Braccus (260 [-20 yrs.]): Here comes the boy~! :D And unlike the older Abyssals (and being the second-youngest), he’s the only one that specifically mentions hearing his creator’s voice and learning his mission to attract the world’s attention by any means necessary; which he easily turns to destruction and carnage (becoming the Grunda he was meant to be) until Xanders “Bare Hands” Nexomon killed the beast and earned his Gold Tamer promotion. Also his dex entry mentions him destroying multiple cities before reaching Lateria and/or Grunda’s Chasm, so I’m betting he started his rampage at Royalle City since a “unnamed Tyrant” was the reason for its downfall.

Kroma (250 [-10 yrs.]): And finally, Operation Kill the Witch: Electric Boogaloo. And what better way to complete her life's mission is to plop her right into the Immortal Citadel while having the handy-dandy ability to mind-control ghosts. Whether she can control both human and Nexomon ghosts is up to debate, but I'm all for her being a tiny menace using the IC residents, the Greater Drake Krainnull, and Ulzar himself when the going got tough with Deena the one-woman army.

Either way, I mainly followed the Abyssals locations on Precursor Mountain from furthest left to right (apart from Venefelis being past Kroma's position), though it's extra funny that both Braccus and Kroma's places are almost melded together (with the haunted woods being halfway through the Braccus’ maze) so that's kind of where the idea came from. Either way, how in the world was I supposed to expect that these two were the YOUNGEST!?!?

And I love that this were the first thing I thought of (if anyone’s willing to make an artist’s representation of the disaster siblings, I’m all for it :)

Cal lore dump

you asked for this @systembug

words are hard and I might forget to include stuff so feel free to ask questions and thinfs. stuff under cut. also beware, there is drama and tragedy

physical discription, for things that don't show in art very much: Cal is Large, they were chubby as a baseline human and have maintained that general shape even through the process of augmentatin. four bladed legs and a pair of extra arms add some bulk as well. their 6 eye-lenses can be colour manipulated to emulate emotion, this aids in interacting with baseline humans. as a scholar of languages, they maintain organic airways. the rebreather can be removed to give access to their mouth. (the downside of this is they have developed a habit of stress-eating only to realise later that they do no longer have the digestive system to actually process the stuff they "ate" and having to clean out their systems). They have two servo-skulls made from goat skulls and a cyber-goat (it's like a cyber mastiff) that follows them around. it's a shredder for documents. Oh, yes, their robes are dark purple, hemmed in red.

Early life, pre joining the mechanicus:

Cal was recruited from an agri-world. this is where the goat skulls come from, they belonged to Cal's beloved pets that they refused to leave behind when the mechanicus recruited them. They were recruited for their talent with archeo- and xenolanguages

Training and life on Aberdeen-6:

Not much to say about Cal here because this was pretty standard fare. Instead, let me tell you about Aberdeen-6. My main fanmade forgeworld is Repleator. Cal is not from there. Instead they hail from Aberdeen-6, a forgeworld located far from any other systems, bordering the void of space. The planet has pridominant trading connections to the space shark marine chapter, and relies strongly on their archeotech. as to why they are out there in the void? they're using spykic energy to power their generators. the planet has a strangely high number of psykers born among their ranks, and they send them out to platforms in the void (where they will not accidentally destroy the planet if a deamon gets summoned) to harness their energy. it is unsure if this is entirely throne-sanctioned. Cal is loyalist, though, in case that needs to be specified.

life as a Magos Dominus:

Despite being a scholar first and foremost, Cal eventually found themselves being pushed into the role of a military leader. Aberdeen-6 was short on those in an attempt to protect the planet from an encroaching threat. Cal underwent all of the augmentations needed for a dominus to thrive on the battlefield: their mechadendrites were fitted with tasers, they were given a pair of extra arms that had guns instead of hands, and the bladed legs to move without bounce for steadier aim. They also got the noospheric connection to their skitarii, connecting them to their vid-feeds and allowing for tactical taking control if the need arises. Caledon although pretty softhearted, did surprisingly well. Their campaigns were not as quick or efficient as others, but they consistently brought back their troops with minimal losses and the morale in these troops was consistently higher than anywhere else. They even became a parental figure to their skitarii alpha, Rho, though Rho might have wished it to be more than that.

This came to an end when they suffered a thundering defeat, wiping their ranks. Cal will never forget seeing their skitarii die before them and feeling them disconnect from the noosphere while their vid-feed goes dark. They have a lot of survivor's guild about this, and their internal systems still occasionally send out connection requests for skitarii that will never be able to heed the call again. Caledon stepped down from the position as a magos dominus and had their body rebuild to be more suited to work as a lexmechanic.

Working as a Lexmechanic:

their proclivity with archeo and xenolanguage became cal's main tool of the trade as they transitioned away from the battlefield. their brain was augmented to be able to process multiple feeds of information at once. This also removed their need for true sleep: different aspects of Cal's brain will take turns to perform sleep functions. Cal now spends almost all their time in the archives, translating and transcribing sources. They are key in aiding explorator fleets to translate their findings, as well as help current magi understand writing on stc fragments.

It was while working on one of these that Cal encountered the scared and mentally broken Intervallum, a skitarius (oc belongs to @thatspacecato). Cal, upon seeing this skittle, in fear and distress basically went "no. not this one. I will protect this one" and intervallum has been hanging around them ever since. I will not elaborate on skittle lore much more, because I feel like that's not my place, but yeah

I think that's about everything there is to say about Cal, feel free to send asks or something if you wish :D

Me, 🫱Gently Holds Requiem🫲: He's perfect 🥺

Not even a week and I'm already retconnig the lore, but he's just too perfect!!

And I'd probably do that sooner rather than later; I'm a bit undecisive.

Me: Sorry, Pyro, you're the second oldest now.

Pyro: Frag off, mysterious voice in our helmets, just leave us alone!!

Aura (back): Yeah!!

Anyway, a friend of mine who's a mechanical engineering student and obsessed with war machines blasted me with some cool infodumb. And it inspired me to create SenTarn's sparklings alternate modes: Most of them are tanks (Cuz of Tarn) or large cars (or whatever the slag Sentinel vehicle is in animated, I have no idea).

Pyrostroke: During World War II, Japan developed a super-heavy tank called the O-I. It never made it past the design stage, but it looks super cool.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-I_super-heavy_tank

Armordome: A medium tank, very balanced with good speed and mobility and artillery power too, so for him I chose a Panzer V or Panther V.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther_tank

Silverchain: Just like her twin spark, a medium tank, so I chose a Panther/Panzer IV, they really do complete each other.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV

Aura Sentry: To really put her out of the family loop, for her I decided to go with a Tank Destroyer, a type of armoured vehicke meant to destroy enemy Tanks in duty. So her alt mode is a M50 Ontos, mostly because i think it's looks so funny like WHY HAVE ALL THOSE RIFLES.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos

Magmaclaw: Quite fitting in his desire to not fight directly and strategic CPU, Cruiser Tanks are normally meant to quickly swarm an opponent. A Covenanter Tank or A13 Mk III Covenanter fits him best.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenanter_tank

Iciclefang: Due to his love of racing and practicing sports, I thought a an armoured fast car would be the best for Icicle, so a T17E1 Staghound fits him well

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/T17E1_Staghound

Shadow Trace: For Shadow, a reconnaissance vehicle, or simply a scout car like the Fennek, fits him best, he's the type to observe and analyze his enemies first before acting, such a thing he shares with his sire.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennek

Thunder Struck: For Thunder, a heavy lifting military truck, like one of those from movies carrying a bunch of soldiers, perfect for his desire to help stray mech animals, moving them around in his cargo, so a Navistar 7000 suit him.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navistar_7000_series

As for Vestige and Remnant, i don't know what they could be yet, maybe some sort of truck like Sentinel, but I'm open for ideas!

Before anything, this is not to be taken seriously, it’s only meant to be fun, I just like imagining what they could be. Have a good day!! Or afternoon or night!

Ohoh I am quite liking this!!!!!

[ordinaryschmuck]

Some weekends, me and my dad would rent a movie to watch. Mostly superhero stuff like the X-Men movies, Spider-Man movies, and especially the MCU. It's actually how I got into the franchise in the first place. We didn't start seeing them in theaters until Age of Ultron, but with each movie we saw together, it actually got me interested in this universe. Of course, he had memory problems. Something that I'll likely have one day. He didn't remember most of the lore or development that happened from movie to movie, but he still liked taking me to see them and watching them with me. Because he liked making me happy and letting me have a good time. Heck, our last movie together was Thor: Love and Thunder and...And I know that's not a good movie. Lots of people made it clear at that point. But I keep telling myself that he HAD a good time. And if not, then maybe he was just happy to give me a fun movie to watch with him and my sister. And I didn't want THAT to be our last movie. I wanted it to be the first Superman movie, something I think he always wanted me to see. And I did see it, last year, for his birthday when he had already died six months ago.

I owe so much of my love of superheroes to him. And I hope he knows that every superhero movie I watch, every comic I read, and even original superheroes I create, he's always in the back of my mind.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you.

Lore Drop: Pure Dragons

As per my unhealthy obsession with dragons i think its about time i (partly) explain how they work.

Dragons in the Hyperion (or Prima's cube, i guess-) are fairly unique. I've developed them for a few years, so there is a lot of variety in them.

First we will go over age and shedding. From ages 0 to 250, dragons are called wyrmlings. Dragon wyrmlings (especially those in more cold climates) have a mix of fur and scales. In the winter months, their scales are shed to allow for the fur underneath to help keep the dragon warm. This makes the already vulnerable wyrmling even more vulnerable, which is often why adult dragons will keep watch of their wyrmlings until they reach a young age. (though please keep in mind, most dragons will abandon their wyrmlings or eggs at the sight of certain weakness's)

Once the young age is reached, the dragon's internal temperature should be high/low enough to sustain an even temperature throughout the year. Sometimes, the dragon will not stop growing this winter coat. Other times, the dragon sheds their scales to never grow them back, only leaving the fur coat. This separates them into three groups:

War Dragons (who only have scales, and shed them to grow stronger scales);

Hoard Dragons (who shed their scales in winter for a fur coat, and lose the coat in warmer months for scales); and

Flight Dragons (who only have a fur coat, and grow a thicker fur coat in colder months).

The dragons anatomy is also very interesting. There is a part of their body in their necks which draws in energy and gas (mainly oxygen) from outside inwards, so they can use their breath weapon (breath glands). This causes their neck (mainly the breath glands) to swell up and glow, before they expel it.

Alongside that, Dragons have a heart and Prism in their body. Their powerful heart helps pump blood across their body, while the prism helps maintain their innate magical abilities and connections to their house. Once again, a prism cannot be removed from a creature born with one until their death. Creatures with a prism are classified as celestials.

Final organ to mention is what they call a "V’xanøkof", or "Spell Vox". This allows the dragon to turn speech into spell-based attacks, normally using it to alter the battlefield to their advantage, or some other powerful reality-altering effect. (Gee, i wonder what the inspiration for this was. Its a mystery…)

Next up, dragon houses.

The Great Houses determine a family of dragons, and shows ones ancestry. The first houses made was the House of the Prism, and House of the Void, which holds Prismatic and Void dragons. Every 2,000 years, 3 new houses are made for each of these root houses.

When Reverence became a thing, the House of the Works was made, determining a new root house. And, likewise, when ᛏᚱᚢᚦᛒᚢᛏᛖᚢᛁᛚ shows up, the house of the ᛊᛈᛟᛁᛚᛖᚱᛊ will be made, creating yet another root house. (Currently, every new generation, 12 houses are created)

Every house is a new type of dragon. Some being hybrids. Each house has a marking, which is present on all people in that house. For [pure] dragons, it is shown as a color scheme and birthmark. For impure dragons (or those with a draconic heritage), it is shown as a tattoo like image that covers most of their body. This image is most likely of a dragon and a symbol, and only shows up when they first awaken their draconic heritage in some way.

The normal dragon types are of the base 18 elements in singularity. Fire, earth, water, air, thunder, electricity/lightning, storm, vacuum/nothing, magic, time, order, chaos, light, shadow/darkness, life, death, prismatic, and void. From these elements, hybrid elements are made. This goes on and on until a very complex ancestry tree is made. This is also why impure dragons need to awaken their abilities before being brought into a house, as they have no innate connection with it on birth.

It is said that when a dragon dies, they are sent to their own afterlife. Not many know if this is true or not, though it is agreed this afterlife is called "Djegrûvir".

Two last things, if a dragon is born impure (crossbred with a different species besides a celestial dragon), their prism is instead going to be a second heart, this heart will be magical in nature, so they will still have magic capabilities. Though it wont be as potent as a pure dragon. If crossbred with another celestial, the prism will remain.

And finally, Hoards… People say Dragons have hoards in media or fiction all the time… while that is true in the Hyperion, it is also a very loose term. When a dragon says they have a hoard, its not just a pile of gold or something… it is what mortals would call a ✨hyperfixation✨. These bitches collect one specific thing cause they are obsessed with it. They know obscure facts about the things that make up their hoard, that no sane person would know. And if given the chance (and if your on good terms), they would be glad to rant about it for hours on end. Hoards include (but are not limited to): rocks, books, paperclips, bottlecaps, gems and crystals, people (preferably alive), knowledge in general, mirrors, animals, those clips that hold bread bags shut, vinyls/music in general, things made from denim, flags, anything that's shiny, food, individual grains of rice, planets, computer components, guns, explosives, miniatures, other dragons, paint, potions, chalices, allies, gravestones, swords, tea, and more.

A hoard is normally started at a young age when the dragon wyrmling finds even the slightest of interest in something… and its normally never something you would expect. A hoard can be anything. Just don't make them mad by saying their hoard is bad or weird and you will be fine.

[hopehuntershq]

Summary: On a world of so many villains and heroes, its hard to pay attention on what everyone is doing. There are many goods and many evils that are overshadowed.

One of these evils is a corrupt organization called the Green Light Lab. The press knows little to nothing about them, and they take advantage of that. Besides having the most advanced technology on the whole world, all their experiments are cruel and immoral.

Kids that were genetically modified to grow animal parts, others who had their body parts replaced by machines. 

They decided to take their nefarious plan a step further, and now, they are after the gems of virtues! Powerful artifacts that can grant many powers.

Unfortunately for them, a group made of 5 heroes (well, technically 3, because the other 2 only join officially on season 2, but they help from time to time, and I love them!).

The team is formed by Harry (A Rebel Traumatized Scientist), Zak (A Traumatized Demigod Jock, that deep down has a heart of gold), Amber (A half-fairy and half-human princess, that has a lot of inspirations on Disney movies), and our beloved Charlie and Kitty Nex (half-cosmic entities with the powers of controlling time and space).

Will they be able of defeating the lab? Will Harry’s secrets break them apart? Will the Justice League allow them to handle this situation on their own?

Follow their journeys, see them develop bonds, fight against evil, and heal from past traumas.

_______________________________________________

Ladies and Gentlemen, the cover of Season 1 is here.

As said earlier, this is a DC project, but also involves characters from Clarence and some other smaller cameos.

I am not exactly satisfied, and will probably redo it someday, but, for now, I think it will suffice.

The story will be published weekly, but not in complete chapters. The chapters would have the length of a cartoon episode. So, to help you all read, I will divide the chapters in 5 to 6 parts and publish them.

My schedule:

New Art: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Chapters: Every Monday (For now).

DC reblogs to help me understand more of the lore (or just because it gives me ideas, lol): All days.

Miscellaneous (Chapter Lists, Headcanons, and such): No specific date.

Asks are always open.

[estakes]

What's your opinion about the new characters? I'm curious to know how you feel about each of them

oh~ 4piece! okay, to start off, i barely know anything about them, haha...

sagiri esu. i'll be honest here, my first impression of esu is that i did not like him at all. i don't know why, maybe it's the ugly bob or the eyelashes. but esu freaked me out. neutral with him now though. save him from fuyume.

hanamura fuyume. he's like if you mix ritsu's creepy yandere-ish behavior, izumi's obsession and tori's pre-character development personality, you get fuyume. let it be known that i don't really like him at all. he has his funny moments like his whole calling midori a prince and called him "midori-sama" and calling tomoya "leader of ra*bits-san", but he's a little shit most of the time. and i won't let his tomoya slander pass.

hojo raika. design-wise, i think raika won. other than that, i don't really recall anything else about him. i think he's related to the sakumas? though, he looks like a chiakana lovechild, lol

natsu kanna. he's the cutest out of all of them, i will admit. fuyume who? i just wish he keeps his glasses in his mv outfits though... also, i've seen some theories about him being related to nagisa or gatekeeper, and i think that's such a cool theory, i'm on board.

taki ibuki. he's like the start of an evolution line. ibuki -> tetora -> kuro. lol. he's so fun. and his recent 4* is so cute, he made sushi for everyone! also, i think he has some connections to kanata too? which is super interesting, i love more kanata lore!

and i assume that nice is included here too? so...

nice arneb thunder. i started fucking cackling when i saw him and learned his name. he seems fun. i love the glittery rainbow suit and the tacky nice pin. i like him. nice~☆

[team-mavericks]

Makoto's lost friend headcanon / Makoto lore

During a heavy lightning storm, a young Makoto sat under the cover of a bus stop. Another young girl around Makoto's age ran through the rain in a panic, scared of the storm, and likely headed home. She joined Makoto in the cover, and at first she minded her own business. Makoto of course searched her pockets for goodies but only found a pack of fruit gummies. She wasn't really interested in that. That would have been the most interaction they would have, but at the crack and boom of a lightning strike, the girl leaped to Makoto and silently cried in fear. Makoto felt awkward, and she tried to push her away and demand to be released. But the girl wouldn't let go, too afraid to even look up at her, and she never made a sound. Makoto gave up and let the girl hide from the storm this way, waiting until the rain slowed down and the thunder clouds started rolling away.

They parted ways after that day, but they would bump into each other randomly. The girl still never spoke, leading Makoto to believe the girl was mute. But then again, Makoto never really made an effort to talk to her. She put more effort into trying to pickpocket her again, but again, only snacks. The girl even offered her snacks to Makoto in a friendly gesture of gratitude. A confused Makoto will take anything that's handed to her. From that point on, Makoto would at least wave to the girl from a distance if they spotted each other, and Makoto would start carrying snacks to give the girl to go away faster... is what she told herself.

There was one night where Makoto sat at her window, looking up at the night sky. She held the last snack the girl gave her and was quietly practicing...

"Hello. My name is Makoto. What is your name? ... Hello. I'm Makoto. Who are you? ... Greetings. Do you want to split this with me? You can call me Makoto."

She was going to open up to someone for the very first time. She wanted to know about this girl after so many run-ins. But as fate would have it, after making the conscious decision to attempt being friendly with this girl, that was the last time Makoto ever saw her. She took too long to warm up, and now the girl is gone forever without so much as a name to try and look for her.

From this point forward, Makoto did not open up to anyone. She developed the thought that there was no point in being close to anyone if they're just going to leave. Her only friend was her Zubat, and that is the only friend she needed.

That is, until Team Mavericks showed up many years later, where an optimistic Jet started chipping away at the wall Makoto built around herself. She was cautious, and he was patient. And in time, Makoto finally learned what it was like to have a friend. Though Morgan was more approachable and comprehensible, making her easier to connect to. Jet broke down the wall, but it was Morgan who became Makoto's first (mutual) friend.

Though if she had the chance... she wants to see that girl again.
