Some of my fave Métis folklore creatures:

Rou garou: from the french loup garou, a werewolf that can shapeshift like many cree stories. 

Little men: brownies, fairies, or naiads/water nymphs, (fae) that use leaves as boats.

Whiitegoos: white monsters who eat children at night, from the cree wendigo(ak).

I wrote a novella! You should buy it, and tell your friends and stuff. 

The forests of the Great Lakes carry with them ancient evils. When a young Metis woman begins having encounters in rural Montana that challenge her beliefs in reality, she must resort to ancient teachings and her indomitable will to survive in a desperate struggle for survival.

Hmm magically turned human Labrys and Aigis...

What if Metis got a human body with Shabrys? I feel like those two would either get along surprisingly well or would be at each others throats constantly and there would be no in between.

Metis and Labrys would probably be an interesting one. They'd probably get along fine but they'd probably be the silly bickering type that have a bunch of interests in common or something. It's been a while since I've seen any Metis content ngl but they'd all be great okay it'd just be wild

Mitsuru lamenting the fact her parenting duties have literally doubled bdjjdod

Oh another fun concept: what if the same thing that brought those two back decided to really have fun and bring 024 back as well

Labrys just wakes up one day and is just crying the whole time and won't let 024 go for a second. Shabrys would probably be the same honestly. Just can't be more than a foot away from her at all times

Bsjjdj but imagine 024s surprise when she's suddenly alive again, is completely human and is now face to face with two Labrys'. And then she finds out about Aigis and Metis and she's like '????' the whole time while getting dragged around by Labby and Shabby as Labby info dumps on her and Shabby takes the piss out of everything.

Mitsuru believes she's at least ended up with an easy kid to mother bird over but hahaaaa consider: she absolutely does not

024 is the local Kirijo Base cryptid. Just shows up everywhere, without a sound and appears at the mention of her name every single time and scares the shit out of everyone every time. She's almost as clumsy as Labrys and Shabrys she's just less prone to injury and more prone to breaking stuff or knocking stuff off tables and shelves and what have you. 024 gets along with everyone and is the only one that can get both Labrys and Shabrys to listen to her so is the perfect mediator. Her main issue is she has a lot more trouble trusting Mitsuru than the others do and after a while of watching her siblings shenanigans decides that she can do that too. Mitsuru tells them not to do something and 024 now immediately does it with an innocent smile and a polite apology but Mitsuru stops buying it after the third time.

I've got more but this is a long post so I'll stop for now but in short: shenanigans
