#misunderstood mentor au

[ikiprian]

Mr. Fenton is a competent teacher. Almost too competent.

If Mr. Daniel Fenton had any more than a BS (with a minor in education), Tim would’ve flagged his profile as a potential Rogue. That’s the way of most charismatic academics, at least in Gotham. (Got a PhD? Instant watchlist.) Instead, he’s Gotham Academy’s newest celebrity, as a young, passionate, out-of-towner substitute while the chemistry teacher’s on maternity leave.

Tim gets the hype. Fenton seems to genuinely love teaching, and is invested in the welfare of the student body. He hands out bananas during exam week, hosts a “study habits seminar” each month to coach effective learning strategies, and the third time Tim falls asleep in his class, he even pulls Tim aside to ask if he’s doing okay. With all the late work he accepts and the protein bars he sneaks Tim, he’s every teen vigilante’s dream teacher. He could’ve been Tim’s favorite.

In fact, Mr. Fenton was Tim’s favorite. Up until Tim walks into Mr. Fenton’s chemistry classroom for a forgotten textbook, an hour after the final bell.

On the board where tallied scores for today’s review game had been kept, “THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND DR. CRANE’S FEAR GAS: ANXIOGENICS, NERI’S, & YOU,” is now scrawled. A detailed diagram of the human endocrine system projects in front of a small crowd of adoring and attentive students.

Fenton is wrist-deep in the skull cavity of an anatomical model. A short tug, and out pops the brain.

It’s plastic. It’s fake.

Tim identifies the nearest emergency exit.

Fenton turns to the door, and in the dark classroom with the projector illuminating half his face, his eyes almost seem to flash red. “What’s up, Tim?” he asks. His friendly grin is too big for his face. “I didn’t know you wanted to join the Just Science League!”

[OR: Danny’s a science teacher at Tim’s school. Gotham’s a pretty wild place, even for someone who grew up a superhero in a ghost-infested town, so he takes it upon himself to start a club teaching kids how to manage themselves in the event of a crisis. These Gothamites are pretty hardy, but a little extra training never hurt anybody! And he suspects one of his students might be a teen vigilante, like he’d been, back in the day. As a senior super, it's Danny’s duty look out for him! Surely, this is the subtlest and most appropriate way to give the kid pointers.]

[Tim immediately assumes supervillain.]

I find it interesting that MK basically has to learn the opposite lesson his mentor did when it comes to violence. from what I understand swk slowly learned that not all conflicts had to be solved with bloodshed. and MK has to find peace with the fact that not all conflicts can be solved peacefully. People minds can't always be changed, not every villain is broken/misunderstood/misguided, and sometimes people are just pure evil. its no wonder his mental health is unstable, and i'm sure swk isn't thrilled seeing this sweet kid have to struggle so much with it.

yes!!!! yes you got it!!!!! :D

on a deep level too, JTTW has a running theme that the more violent one's response to a crime, the more violent is the reprisal for that response if it fails. the whole arc of the Havoc in Heaven is about a monkey and yaoguai warlord being thrown into an environment he wasn't equipped or prepared to handle the expectations of, and that punishing him instead of properly preparing him for his role has consequences. also you can interpret it in a symbolic way: as Wukong is the Mind Monkey, the restless and unrestrained human mind, you can't punish yourself into becoming better, you must stop, learn, and understand your situation before moving forward. otherwise what you get is just, a mess spiritually and mentally.

meanwhile, MK was brought up in a very loving and understanding environment. yes, the show portrays his friends and family (Pigsy and Tang are his dads, you cannot change my mind) as far from perfect, but they are altogether a circle that loves and supports each other even through their mistakes, and it's their flaws that makes them stronger. however, in esoteric Buddhism there's the concept of a ruthless compassion, in that sometimes you need a heavy hand to stir people towards the right path; in this article my friend JTTWR shares how even Wukong's golden fillet is a display of that concept.

and yes, an understanding and kind approach can take you very far; in my au, MK manages to befriend and help turn around most of the enemies he encounters, not unlike the show! but sometimes, that's not enough, and sometimes, it only makes things worse and drags you down with them. sometimes, violence is a valid and even necessary answer for the good of the majority.

as for Wukong... as a bodhisattva, he knows that suffering is necessary for learning and that he can't shield MK from everything. one must face adversity to learn to overcome it. but as a grandpa himself, he's not keen on the suffering of beings, much less those close to him. he can offer an ear to MK's vents, a shoulder to cry on, a hug, a joke, a few matches of games to take his mind off things. MK needs to learn these harsh lessons, but Wukong's not letting him do it by himself.

Masterlist

You were a servant, nothing more. You did your job and you did it well. You took pride in your work, but didn’t delude yourself into thinking you were anything more. Hundreds of other people worked in the palace, dozens of them serving the princes, Diluc and Kaeya. 

The one thing you had going for you was your experience. You had worked in the palace longer than most of the other servants, and often mentored new-comers. You were trusted. The princes knew you by name, but they knew all the senior staff. 

So it was no surprise when you were asked to deliver a plate of hors d'oeuvres to the princes at the party. You picked up the platter and walked up the steps, watching your step on the smooth marble. Other guests took from the platter, but you noticed one put one back. 

You were only a few steps away from the princes now. A slight bitter scent stung your nose. It would be unnoticable for anyone else, but you recognized it. Poison. Pointing it out would lead to chaos. Feeding to the princes was unthinkable. Finding a flaw in the dish would lead to the firing of kitchen staff. So you fell. You stumbled on the last step, hitting your shin and falling at the princes’ feet. It hurt.

Kaeya was the first to react. He bent over to help you up. “Falling for me, aren’t we?” 

You politely refused his hand and stood up on your own. Any contact would fuel gossip, especially with his flirtatious personality. 

“Are you hurt?” Diluc asked, a touch of worry in his voice. It was unusual for you to be this clumsy. 

“I’m alright, but the pastries are not. Apologies.” You couched over to clean it up, brushing the hors d’oeuvres back onto the platter. Once finished, you stood up, bowed and walked back to the kitchen. 

You wrapped the poisoned pastry into a napkin and put it in your pocket. The Royal Alchemist would have to take a look at it.

“What happened?” Sara asked.

“Sorry I fell and dropped them.”

She groaned. “I expected better from you!”

You hummed in agreement and picked up another platter. You’d have to be more careful. You hurried up the stairs as fast as you could without raising suspicion.

You place the platter nearby and put two of the appetizers on plates. “May I recommend these, your highnesses.” You offer the pastries while bowing slightly. 

Diluc looked confused at the gesture, but took it anyway. Kaeya is too busy chatting to a noble to notice. 

“Your highness, Prince Kaeya.”

He finally noticed and accepted the tart. “Thank you.”

Everytime one of the princes reached for something, you handed it to them. You made sure any food or drink went through you, checking for poison inconspicuously each time. 

“Would you like a drink?” A woman asked Diluc. It smelled of poison. Luckily, he refused. Thank the archons he didn’t drink.

Kaeya on the other hand. You intercepted several glasses of wine before he could take the hint. Each time you’d have to find an unopened bottle that was ‘more to his liking.’ 

You walked up to Diluc with another one of his favorite appetizers. In his hand was a poisoned tart. You glared at it, trying to find a way to get it away from him without drawing attention. He misunderstood your gaze.

“Would you like one?” He offered the tart. 

Oh well. “Thank you, your highness.” You forced it down your throat and smiled. “Here’s a shrimp for you.” You handed it to him. The sooner this ended, the sooner you could get medical attention. 

Thankfully the brothers decided to leave soon after. Diluc because he had grown tired, Kaeya because he had noticed your exhaustion. 

As soon as they left you hurried to the royal laboratories. You ran past several tired alchemists before reaching the one you were looking for. 

“Albedo, I need you to analyze something.”

He looked up from his work, eyes awake as ever. You wondered if he ever slept. “Of course.” He led you to one of his labs. 

It was filled with various instruments all polished to a shine.

“So, what is it that you want me to examine?”

You pulled out the pastry. “What poison is in this.”

He pulled out some equipment. “How urgent is this?”

“That depends on how fast acting it is.” You sat down, your head getting dizzy. “And I’d guess it’s pretty fast.”

“Did you ingest any of it?” 

“Yes.” You sensed his judgment and clarified. “It was either me or the crown prince.”

He just sighed and continued his work. “Try your best to stay awake.”

“No promises.” You slumped in the chair, the combination of poison and a long day dragging you to delirium.

He noticed your shallow breathing and checked your pulse. It was weak, but still there. Your skin was flushed. You moved unsteadily and tried to stand up. He pushed you back to a seated position. 

“The princes… “ You groaned, eyes barely open.

“They’ll be fine.” He brushed your hair from your face, noting how it stuck with sweat.

“What time is it?” 

“Time for you to rest.” He held your mouth open and tilted in the antidote.

You tried to spit it out but he held your mouth closed. You swallowed. “Bitter.”

“I know it is.” He held a glass of water as you drank from it greedily. He draped your arm over his shoulder and lifted you from your seat.

“Where…”

“We’re going to your room. You need to sleep.” He thought about bringing you to his bed, it wasn’t like he used it anyway. The scandal that would cause made him reconsider. He had never cared much for social rules and he was respected enough that he didn’t have to follow them. You on the other hand didn’t have that luxury. 

The two of you stumbled down to the servant’s quarters. Your room was unlocked. He moved the blankets and laid you on the bed. Your room was small, about 8 paces by 8 paces. There was a bed, a desk, a cabinet and not much more. He pulled out the chair at your desk and started writing notes. Symptoms, chemical composition, materials, all the information he had about the poison. He would occasionally check in on you. You were tossing and turning the whole time.

In the morning someone came to knock on the door. You tried to get up to answer but your arms collapsed under you. 

“Stay.” Albedo commanded. He opened the door.

“Sir Albedo? Why are you… Is he sick?” Diluc’s voice rang through the room.

“I’m fine.” You did not sound fine.

Diluc pushed Albedo out of the way and hurried to your bed. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s no big deal-”

“He was poisoned.”

You glared at Albedo but he just shrugged. You sigh. “It’s fine. I’ll recover in a day or two.”

“But you didn’t eat anything.” He put his fist to his chin. “Except… the tart I gave you.” His hand dropped. 

“Don’t worry about it.” 

“I poisoned you.” He looked horrified.

“You didn’t know it was poisoned, and I chose to take it.”

“Did you know?” He took your silence as confirmation. “Why would you eat it?”

“It was me or you. A servant or a crown prince. One is much more replaceable.”

“No, you’re not!” You startled at his voice and he lowered it. “You’re not replaceable. Please, don’t say that about yourself.”

Just in time Kaeya burst in the door.

“You didn’t wake me this morning.” He pouted.

“Apologies, I’ll be taking the day off.” You waved him over and fixed his shirt. He had an awful habit of undoing the top few buttons throughout the day. “Who dressed you today.”

“Anne. I still missed you though.”

“Hmm. She did well.” You pointedly ignored the second part of his statement. Anne had been one of the servants you trained, you were proud of her progress. “Now don’t mess up her hard work. Hands off the buttons.”

“I’ll try.” He wouldn’t. “By the way, why are you taking the day off?”

“I poisoned him.” Diluc said.

Kaeya looked up in confusion.

“Don’t be dramatic. Someone poisoned the food he gave me.” You told Kaeya.

“So that’s why you were acting strange last night.” Kaeya said.

“Not really. I was just trying to keep you and your brother from ingesting any of it. Especially you. Most of the wine you were offered was poisoned. The poisoning happened later.”

“How could you tell what was poisoned?” Kaeya was quick to ask.

“I’ve practiced identifying toxins. This one smelled bitter.” 

“Was you tripping a ploy too? To keep the poisoned appetizers away from us?” Diluc asked, finally recovered enough to piece together last night’s events

“It seemed like the best option.”

“You’re incredible.” Kaeya shakes his head, almost disbelieving.

“It’s truly not much. For all your family has done for me.” You try your best to divert the attention away from yourself.

“We owe you.” Diluc stated, not seeming to understand the weight of his words.

“Not really,” You desperately try to brush off the comment, face heating up at his remark.

“He needs to rest and you both have work to do.” Albedo shepherded the brothers out the door. “And you,” He closed the door behind him and pulled a chair to your bed. “Need to help me write a report.” He pulled out his notebook and pen.

You groaned. You hated paperwork.

[wolfsbane-if]

Ok so this ask gets dark. So feel free to ignore it. But I keep imagining an Alternate universe where an Mc with a past where their parents were killed by a vampire. That the vampire got away before the hunter (Angela I think you said her name is) got there. And the vampire turns kid Mc as a decoy I guess? Hoping to trick the hunters that Mc killed their parents instead. So to the point I trying to ask is what would be Garamonds and Harlows reaction or opinion to this Au Mc? (Sorry for the lengthy ask. Thank you if you still took the time to read this.)

I think it's super cool that my writing and story have enough impact to inspire AUs, but I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're asking, sorry. Specifically, what it is that Garamond and Harlow are meant to be reacting to, or how they enter this hypothetical scenario in the first place and the circumstances under which they would meet the MC

If the assumption is that an MC who was turned to a vampire as a child would then proceed to live out the story presented in Wolfsbane normally and meet the companions under the same circumstances, that's not accurate. Angélica, upon discovering the MC as a vampire, would do her job as a hunter and kill them, and the MC would no longer exist

If they somehow managed to escape before then, the MC would be a permanent child trying to fend for themself and probably wouldn't survive very long, let alone find work as a Wolfsbane and have the opportunity or capacity to meet and work with Garamond and Harlow

Either way, this sort of scenario would alter the story entirely, so I don't think there really is an answer to how the companions would react to an MC of the proposed background as I'm not sure it could ever exist within the framework of Wolfsbane

If, on the other hand, the question is "how would Garamond and Harlow react to meeting a child vampire", they'd both be pretty horrified at the implications. If the child wasn't already feral or being cared for by someone else at the time of the meeting though, both would try to mentor and provide for them to the best of their ability, with Harlow focusing on setting a good example and teaching them how to exist as a vampire, whereas Garamond would take on a more parental role and try to nurture them as a child first

Apologies if I've misunderstood the question and that's not what you meant, but I hope some of this was interesting world- and character-building to read regardless 😅

[clatoera]

Which The Hunger Games characters :

1. Do you relate the most?

2. Do you think missunderstood by fandom?

3. Do you want to know better?

Please give reasons for your answers. And you can pick more than one character for each question.

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

So i'm fucking delusional we'll start there.

1.Do I relate to?

I feel like i don't relate to any of them any more other than the versions I have created in my head. As a child i strongly related to Katniss and her love of her sister. I think these days maybe I relate to Johanna and her dgaf attitude? Honestly i'm not sure who I relate to, because I relate to MY Version of Glimmer a lot and MY version of Clove but alas those are aus expanding upon like 6 whole minutes of combined screentime.

2.Do you think is misunderstood the most?

Well. You asked the WRONG person this question bestie. My blog title is literally "careers apologist." I..quite literally write thousands and thousands of words as to why the careers are so so misunderstood. They are children, quite literally. Yes, they were trained in academies and enjoyed the games, but I can think of MANY similar organizations that have done the same thing to children today and in history, turning them into little propaganda machines. Like yes. They killed people. So did Katniss. So did Peeta. But above all else I KNOW they trained but i also know they were children. Children who's brains weren't developed. I will defend those kids to my grave because thats what they are to me, as I get over and process it. They are babies.

3. Do i want to know better? Honestly as a writer I feel like i put a lot of time and mind energy into understanding my characters. I would love to like...hear about those who I don't put a ton of focus into. I'd love to read some Johanna or Finnick. DEFINITELY some Annie. Honestly anyone outside my core 4 plus the adjacent mentors. I'd love to hear Brutus, honestly. Or gloss. Idk i guess anyone other than my core 4???

thank you!

@curiousnonny

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

(reads tags) Ahh so I misunderstood the prompt a bit. I think the deities would be like the founders of the clans who got mythologized as time passed. Palkiacat being said to see anywhere across space and while Dialgacat was able to see anywhen across time. As for the wardens and the nobles, my first though was make them cats (and I like the idea of Sneasler being Ingo's mentor when he first joins Pearlclan), but if we really stretched the wc rules [1/5]

[ The nobles could be like other animals that are living in the area that have developed a mutual relationship with the clans for several generations. The wardens have similar roles to pla canon, but with slightly less of a religious bent. They're more ambassadors than attendants. There's a friendly badger that speaks cat in later series so it could work. And other predators are implied to be similarly sapient as the cats (sometimes) [2/5]

Canon warrior naming styles would be the most fun but just sticking to pla canon would be less potentially confusing. I don’t think Ingo would be super comfortable being renamed though. It’s like the one thing that he remembers and gives him a sense of identity in the aftermath so I don’t think he’d give it up even if it would make things easier for him. [3/5]

Hardest part of translating hisui to a smaller scale would trying to figure out how to make the alabaster icelands and the crimson mirelands work right next to each other. Though i guess you could rely on seasonal weather to do the heavy lifting. Winter and summer would be the times of year the respective regions most resemble their ingame counterparts. [4/5]

Also, its funny mentioned the leaders not being chosen and having only one life because in the current arc one of the clans is going through a succession crisis after the death of their leader and deputy and due to starclan being contactable right now due to events in the previous arc that's actually a pretty pressing concern. Sorry for the spam I saw your answers and was turning them over in my head during work. Worldbuilding is fun :D. [5/5] ]

oooh mythologized clan founders (pearlstar and diamondstar?) is really fun. and then by extension would they also be like, the Founders of starclan? admittedly my recall for the starclan lore is not super fresh but maybe in this au there's something where like. they were the first cats that went to starclan when they died bc their souls like, created it, and subsequently all the clan cats got to join them in death. and the NOBLES BEING NON-CAT ANIMALS... that's very very fun i like that. i remember the badger i liked the badger this is fun. and then the wardens being like, apprentices/assistants to the nobles in whatever task they work with the clan for... but then it's also kinda hard to assign all of them to their own unique animals. like some of them are obvious but what about electrode? lilligant? avalugg? and idk abt the vibes of having these ten different animals all involved it might get to be a little Much on top of the regular warriors stuff

otoh sneasler being ingo's mentor at first is VERY fun yes. and that's an ez warrior name like she's direclaw bam done. idk if dire is a valid prefix but i also dont really care considering i already said "iridistar" earlier so i think we're past that point. i DO think warrior cats-ifying their names sounds like a fun challenge esp. if we want to pull occasionally from the fact that a lot of the pla names are derived from different plants. melli is now tea-something. sabi is spicepaw. and like... ingo being a clan cat but keeping his old name is kind of an interesting reverse ravenpaw thing BUT if we want to REALLY angst him up, and considering pearlclan would probably really prefer if he took a "normally" formatted name, we could just. say that he forgot even his name. and then eventually Remembers it later and gets to have that crisis

that's true abt the climate shift hmmm. WELL if it's similar to the regular landscape of hisui, we could say that they live on a mountainside and the climate shifts are due to verticality, w/ the "icelands" being the highest-up point that the cats usually venture to? which you still probably wouldn't get AS dramatic as canon hisui is, but you can get a pretty significant temperature change by moving up and down. and then you can maybe have diamondclan runners vs pearlclan climbers too.

MMMM the one thing i like more than worldbuilding for stupid things: interpersonal political drama. so juicy to me. and dont apologize this is very fun!! this is what we're here for! kicking ideas around!!

[cizzle-freezy]

I think I'm well and truly loving Tempys! She has such a pretty design. Could you perhaps tell me more about her character/role in your story and if she was particularly inspired from anywhere...

OOOH okay so

First of all, let's start with inspiration! A lot of it heavily stems from Zelda games! A bit of A Link Between Worlds, a bit of Twilight Princess, a bit of Breath of the Wild, and a sprinkling of Phantom Hourglass... But, mostly A Link Between Worlds! Purely because of the idea of Lorule, which me and my rp group (mostly consisted of @juan-o-clocks, @hikaririnku-blog, and their S/O) expanded further upon as some sort of Mirror Realm!

Reason why I mention the whole Mirror Realm thing, she's actually Skylyn's mirror counterpart, and they're more or less besties in a sisterly way due to their shared role involving the Dream Realm (Skylyn being a lesser dream goddess, and Tempys being a lesser nightmare goddess) (Also to mention Skylyn having the theme of wind and clouds while Tempys has a general storm theme)

I do also like making Genshin Impact jokes with her, but truth is, she's existed with her storm formchange gimmick since... February 2019, according to my file explorer.

Her role in the (current) story is mostly taking on a sisterly or mentor role to the rest of the group she's been traveling with, and her arc involves her complicated feelings with godhood, where she outright rejects the title of being one, but uses the perks to take care of those she cares about over the thousands of years she's been around... but sometimes her methods are rather.... self-destructive? She'd much rather push herself well beyond her limits for the sake of finding the answer to someone's problem, than to take time to rest and recover. But she also behaves similarly for the sake of knowledge, so...

.... I mean granted, she is also the accidental driving force behind the main story of this particular RP, in her eyes, one of the antagonists is literally her fault. She tried to, for lack of better terms, "foster" an angel who was abandoned, before it willingly fell. A lot of this fallen angel's behavior and abilities is influenced off of her.

Buuuut also she does live in the shadow of a technically-deceased sister that "died" before Tempys was even born--

However!! There is also some notable AU Counterparts that dissect her for the sake of exploration! (This has gotten extremely long so I'll put a keep reading buffer!)

I'll start with Chimera first because A) She has the more obvious Zelda references + Lowkey was also inspired by Professor Layton: Unwound/Lost Future??? Except I completely misunderstood the plot due to a tangled the animated series animatic??? And then the Nickname came from a type of enemy in Mother 3???

Okay hold on none of that makes sense I feel like--

Anyways B) she was initially created for a particular arc in the Main Plot in which the Main Cast ends up fighting bad future counterparts of themselves, versions of themselves that went on darker paths for one reason or another, and Tempys's leaned into her near-obsessive interest in magi-sciences, and fear of mortals turning against gods once more, mixed with a desire for her loved ones to live long enough to see whatever answer they were seeking for their problems (+ guilt over blaming herself for the loss of a girlfriend she had prior to Jira). Which led to her experimenting on herself.

Then we have Nightterror's universe (which I had nicknamed "Inverse" Universe). The complete opposite to Chimera. Giving up her passions. Embracing her role as not only a Nightmare Goddess, but then also taking Skylyn's role as a Dream Goddess when Skylyn was... "incapacitated." Perhaps permanently.

Nightterror's goal was to trap everyone in an everlasting dream so that way everyone can be happy! No one has to die! The cycle could be halted!

Except if everyone could get what they wanted, then obviously that could cause a lot of problems. And when people start recognizing that they're in a dream... Well, she certainly tries to put a stop to those trying to stop it, even if it means bringing harm to her loved ones. Not hurt or kill them, of course, but... if she has to put them in a deeper slumber, just as she did to Gelum and Ignis, her dear sisters... but oh well! They're safe, they're protected this way! Nothing can go wrong!

She's probably the one who is the reason why Tempys has such a huge playlist compared to other OCs of mine. It's just so easy to imagine her singing these songs in some sort of musical format, and roping others in to join her (whether they want to, or not)

And then we have Supercell who is VERY underdeveloped since she's newer in concept, but she inherits what the other two don't: The storm formchanges.

She mulled over the possibilities and gave up everything except for the Storm aspect. No more passions, no more connections... and it make her a cold, uncaring, force of nature. She probably couldn't recognize her loved ones even if she tried.

NPC Relationships for mobile

All Undertale verses

Note that these are labeled “NPC” (non-playable characters) for a reason; this page exists only if the topic of these characters come up. Relationship dynamics is subject to change if I am RPing with a Gerson or Asgore muse!

Gerson, formerly known as the Hammer of Justice:

A good-natured elderly monster who’s a veteran of the War of Humans and Monsters, former Captain of the Royal Guard, and Undyne’s childhood idol. He took the spunky young fish monster’s attempts at ‘helping’ him beat up bad guys with humor. In the main verse, he’s more of a kooky uncle to Undyne than a mentor who’s not afraid to put her in check if her antics go too far.

Tagged as #hammer of justice [ gerson ]

King Asgore Dreemurr, King of All Monsters:

Asgore silently suffers from depression by the loss of his two children, the deadly choice he made that lead to the dissolution of his marriage, and the blood on his hands from murdering humans for their SOULs. But as a young girl, Undyne was swept up by the glorious image of the Monster King becoming a god and freeing his people from their underground prison. After Asgore accepted Undyne as his trainee, he became impressed by the young monster’s strength and persistence. His relationship developed into something of a father figure to the orphaned fish.

In the main verse, Asgore becomes concerned with the increasingly irrational choices Undyne makes. She defies his attempts to help her, thinking it was an affront to her abilities and a sign of his lack of confidence in her. Since then, Undyne alternates between living in Waterfall and Asgore’s castle.

The Fischer Family:

Both Undyne’s biological parents survive in this AU. They moved to Hometown recently, due to Pop’s job location change.

Tagged as #dad pops drulah and me [ dr student au family ]

“Pops” (below) is a police officer. He’s spirited, aggressively helpful, and can be seen driving around town in what his daughter calls “the most badass motorcycle EVER!!!” Undyne wants to follow his footsteps in her future career.

Fun fact: that isn’t hair on his head. It’s a flat red fin that flares out when he’s underwater.

“Dad” (above) is an owner of a start-up local hardware store. The most mild-mannered of the family and foil to his husband’s energy... until you bring up his life’s biggest passion: DIY projects and repairs! He prides himself for making all the furniture in his family’s new home.

Fun fact: He befriends Asgore as a fellow business owner.

Drulah is Undyne’s kid brother. Being born deaf, he has limited speaking abilities and instead uses sign language to express himself. He attends Ms. Toriel’s class with extra assistance. Much to his big sister’s chagrin, he throws a tantrum whenever he feels like he’s being misunderstood or ignored.

Tagged as #spunky little bro [ guest muse drulah ]

Fun fact: the birthmark on his face is similar to what Pops has on one side of his back.

What are your thoughts on Easton Weston, the supposedly psychic eldest Weston son, & Flynn Walker, the Phandom's rewrite of Hartmen's Flynn Fenton, Ghost Zone hermit, & the lost son of Danny's aunt, Alicia Walker?

For that matter, what do you think of the idea of the au where Warden Walker turns out to be Maddie Fenton's father?

i'm down with whatever. just in general though i find the fact that we're collectively making an extended universe for danny phantom beyond canon. that we just agree on these things enough to establish fandom characters, it's FASINATING. it's just so interesting that we as a collective, a group of people who don't personally know eachother, thousands of people, decided to just adopt wes weston as a character to the point where people coming into this fandom are confused when they see him, because they don't remember his characters.

and then we did it again. i was there for the formation of easton and kyle. it was purely a hey these background characters look like they could be related to wes. and a seperate post was like 'what if we had a charcter who just didn't believe in ghosts despite living in amity. and it was decided lets make him wes's brother. and everyone was like Yeah! and now it's a thing. easton came along after and i don't remember the specifics right now but i'm pretty sure the post is on our blog somewhere. and it was essentially, wouldn't it be funny if the third brother, misunderstood wes's ghost obsession and was actively hiding being part ghost/ psychic from his brother. especially when wes gets accused of being phantom. just a whole narrative sprang up and i love it so much. i love that we as a community are down to yes and each other

flynn was a similar collective thing. where butch initially introduced the character. and we all collectively went "i see your idea but seeing as that's stupid, we're going to do it ourselves and better. like the fenton's losing a son to the first portal and just continuing to build it and never mentioning said son again. jazz and danny never bringing their presumed dead bother up through all the various trauma and presented opportunities to talk about it. bad writing. bad character writing too because it makes everyone involved look like monsters. a cousin, the child of a character that's already established as existing and someone we aren't likely to know or hear about, getting sucked into a natural portal. better.

the drama and intrigue of flynn as a character is so much better if he isn't their brother. the family implications for alicia who got divorced from her husband, presumably partially because her kid went missing and that kind of thing is rough on a family. the implication that ghosts stole a family member being why the fenton parents have it out for ghosts, because they were their through that greif even though it wasn't their kid. the protectiveness we sometimes see when it comes to protecting their kids from ghosts. excellent. the fact that flynn is a human living in the ghost zone. the only human and the loneliness on top of survival skills he would need to develop to make it through that situation. fascinating. i want more of that. giving that human a way back to the real world through danny and just all the potential drama that would bring. yesssss. hell yes. danny and him having a philosophical parallel of not really belonging in either world. the talks of being to ghost to be human, but to human to be ghosts. flynn just having a breadth of knowledge on ghosts and the zone and survival but having no idea how to use money or a computer. the reuniting of him and his mother. the talks of ecto-contamination and the questions of how human flynn is after living in the zone for so long. the implications that might have for danny watching people react to flynn. flynn also being a possible mentor and older brother figure for danny, but his bad habits and hatred of ghosts leaking through and causing issues.

just ahhh i love stories and story telling and all these characters are great for that.

as for maddie and alecia being related to walker. weird coincidence but i'm down with that too because it's interesting to see where that goes. do they recognize their father? does he recognize them. is walker a more distant relative. i'm here for drama, y'all - Hestia

Sorry if you’ve answered this before but I only recently found the haikyuu at hogwarts au and I was wondering—how does Oikawa reconcile Kageyama’s friendship with Hinata if he’s so certain Kageyama disliked him for being a muggleborn? Does he think Kageyama is faking the relationship? Does he think he might have been wrong about the reason for their fight? I’m really excited to see how their relationship plays out!!

Ah, interesting question. So....it's honestly a mix.

Part of it is that Oikawa is very much a trial-by-fire style mentor. He knows that Hinata's aware he doesn't get along with Kageyama so he's a little bit like "whelp, I tried (for a given sake of a word), kid's gotta learn for himself, after all". With things short of deadly or major injury inducing, Oikawa is a little bit like meh, it's better for him to learn on his own.

Another part is the reason that Oikawa thinks that Kageyama was mad at him wasn't just the muggleborn thing, it was more the fact that Oikawa was older/mentor figure to him. In Oikawa's view, Kageyama viewed him as a helpful-when-younger but someone who would always be a building block to overcome one day. He's aware Kageyama and Hinata's relationship started differently even though he probably does think Kageyama views himself as "better" than Hinata in the partnership (something that, in his view, wasn't helped by Kageyama and Hinata's fight last year)

A third (and biggest) part is that there is a little tiny bit of Oikawa that's aware that people can grow. And an even more secret part (that he'd never admit even to himself) that still sees Kageyama as that little kid always stepping along in his footsteps and lighting up when Oikawa taught him something. Oikawa was very hurt by Kageyama's perceived betrayal--it affected him a lot. There's always going to be a small part of Oikawa that hopes he misunderstood even if he's too hurt to examine that part too closely (or even admit it's there).

Oikawa will always care about Kageyama, even when he doesn't want to.

Which...is honestly the biggest reason. Even now, Oikawa can't exactly bring himself to potentially ruin a friendship for that lonely kid he remembers on the playground. Better to let Kageyama do it himself.

Wanna share ur epic cool WIPS?

OH BOY, DO I!!! MISMENTOR AU BE UPON THEE

“Hey, Mr. Fenton,” Tim says. He makes some snap judgments based on Fenton’s personality and previous interactions he’s seen him have with students, then holds out the blanket, expression aiming for appropriately sheepish as opposed to dead guilty, which will be more fitting a role when he gets to English late. “Sorry I passed out back there. I promise it won’t happen again, I was just up late and then I couldn’t fall asleep and, y’know, my brother’s dog--”

“Oh absolutely, you’re not in trouble or anything. Don’t worry about it,” Fenton says. He opens the largest drawer in his massive desk to tuck the blanket away-- Tim spots at least two hoodies, a massive first aid kit, a box of granola, stress balls, fidget toys-- and shuts it. “But I do wanna ask if everything’s okay. This is, if I’m counting right, the third time in three weeks you’ve fallen asleep.”

Tim freezes. Yikes.

“I didn’t wanna say anything the other times,” Fenton continues, “but it is a pattern, now, and I wanna make sure you’re getting everything you need.”

“I am,” Tim’s quick to say. I am, I’m just also moonlighting as a vigilante and have three cases to juggle ATM. I am, I’m just also trying to organize my teen superhero team into a potential reunification party. I am, I’m just also filling my time chasing some new meta kid around Gotham to make sure he’s not a villain. He takes a breath.

A dozen pre-planned, civilian-friendly excuses shuffle in his head, and he picks the one that makes the most sense. “I just-- y’know. I’m having trouble adjusting to academic life again, I think. I took that break studying abroad, and then I worked full time, and I had all that freedom, and now…”

Fenton nods. “Oh, yeah. I remember being a teenager.” God, Tim loves it when people reinforce his excuses for him. “Well, if you ever need anything, let me know, okay? And try to prioritize sleep in your schedule. Here, let me show you a trick…”

Fenton opens his phone, his comically large fingers tapping away at the tiny screen, and pulls up a little website. In some ways, his brick-shithouse build is intimidating. Tim’s surprised he’s found a career in the classroom, and not as a bouncer at a nightclub.

Poppy and Aster!!!! 🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐

Poppy: What’s one of your biggest headcanons for the series?

mm i dont really have headcons more just total rewrites

which i keep meaning to like draw out a easy to read character AU rewrite bio thingy

probably do that at some point

but i think in terms of stuff, bigger favorite headcanon rewrites for my stuff is Tigerclaw KNOWING he is a skyclan descendent and being who skyclan originally approached to help rebuild skyclan but he somewhat purposely misunderstood what they wanted and plans to "unite" the clans together and recreate skyclan out of the rubble of the clans and become the leader of skyclan like his ancestors once were.

then a lot of rewriting for the whole squirrel-ash-bramble stuff which squirrel never being into either of them, starclan trying to push squirrel with bramble for their prophecy reasons. but instead she becomes mates with Shrewpaw(Gust) and they raise the three together but both knowing the secret. Bramble and Ash have sOME sorta romance going on, and are friends with squirrel and shrew and are uncles and sorta mentors to the kiddos. However Ash killed Dustpelt after the older tom started having interest in his sister and has kept this a secret for his whole life and this becomes a conflict between him and bramble and squirrel during the fire. not sure where im wanting this to lead just yet, but i have a few ideas.

Aster: Who’s your least favorite character? Why?

honest its a tie between crowfeather and Moth Flight

Crowfeather less so, i do like him and i am interested in his character but both him and breezepelt are kinda just not great and not written super awesome i feel. i really think crowfeathers trial coulda been way better written. Thought im saying this as someone who hasnt had the chance to read it myself only read the wiki and other details of it

Moth Flight just has always sounded so annoying to me tbh her whole deal just really :/

Bnha au where everything is the same but exempt Bakugo has therapy

Bakugo as a character is also widely misunderstood. He was a kid with an abusive mom (yes, the way Mitsuki treats Bakugo is abusive, we can talk about it in other post), who was shaped from social pressure and went out of touch with others because of that trauma.

Bakugo wanted to be real as real as the others. And I think he was at least a little jealous of Deku because Deku was so human from the start. Why Shoto went with everything against Deku but not against Bakugo? Why All Might found Deku worthy but not Bakugo? People assumed that he was fine, that he was okay with himself, they assumed Bakugo's problems without taking the time to know him.

Then again, idealizing someone is dehumanizing them. When you put someone in a pedestal, when you turn them into gods, you are denying their humanity.

I can tell you than being told you do nothing wrong is frustratint as hell, because you want to feel real!! Be real!!! And people only tells you what you want to hear. There's comfort in people correcting you, in learning where you were wrong, how can you do better.

And Bakugo needed that. He got help. Maybe not professional help ( everyone in bnha / mha need it), but he got friends, rivals, teachers, mentors, classmates, etc. He found people who was able to see him for what he is and not for what they thought he was.

I'm not saying Bakugo wasn't wrong or that he wasn't a bully, but I'm saying he was a kid with issues too. And it was because he was given love, because people showed concern and stopped to hear him, because he got a new safe space to develop himself, that he understood that he was something more than that angry and selfish side of him.

I'm proud of how much Bakugo has change through the manga. He is a wonderful representation for kids and teenagers with anger issues. The message he provides is that, if you have anger issues, you don't have to end up like that abusive parent or relative or person. You are not dammed to be like that. You can change, you can work it out, don't lose hope.

He's around 17 years old, still a minor. And because he was given the chance to change, maybe bnha / mha has one less anger adult in the future.

KWHDNDK I'M SORRY BUT I LOVE BAKUGO SO MUCH. HE IS SO MISUNDERSTOOD, REALLY. SORRY FOR THE RANT.

Dream SMP Prompt 45 – Superpowers AU

Tommy was a hero as far as the media was concerned. In truth, he was an apprentice thrusted into the job he was supposed to wait until he was at least twenty years old to do, all because of the villain trio the SBI. But at least his mentor, Dream, was nice.

The Dream Team was well aware that the hero agency was corrupted but they wanted to try and make it better. It was annoying when Tommy wanted to really fight against some criminals because they always protected him, but he understood that they just felt weird letting a kid with a kinda pathetic ability fight on the front lines. They tried to make up for it with gifts.

Unfortunately, that seemed to make the SBI mistake Tommy as someone way more powerful than he actually was. When he gets kidnapped, the group almost seems certain that they’ll be getting something good in exchange for him. Tommy knows the truth – he was added to increase the number of heroes the SBI would have to fight. It wasn’t skill, it was an attempt to overwhelm them.

So, when the SBI is told that the hero agency would rather let Tommy suffer at their hands than negotiate with them, Tommy fully expects to never see the Dream Team again. He’s surprised when the villains get confused. It’s almost like the SBI weren’t banking on what to do if they heroes didn’t want Tommy back.

They insist that his abilities are underutilized and misunderstood. They insist on training Tommy to understand his abilities. They insist on treating him fairly – just as good as the Dream Team, except they don’t have to worry about higher ups getting mad at them. Tommy doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Meanwhile, the Dream Team has been put under watch in order to ensure they don’t do anything the hero agency doesn’t approve of to get Tommy back.

Bonus Ideas:

I just see so many aus where Dream is the one to hurt and scare Tommy, so that’s why Tommy is on the run. I wanted something a bit different so may I present the return of the superpower custody battle.

Tommy’s power is one that seems simple, straightforward and weak at first but is actually complex and powerful when you know how to use it. So villain Tommy would be a very scary addition to the SBI. 

Dream Team join the villains? Maybe?

Harry (not so) secretly crushes on the cute footie player and fills pages with sketches of him.

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow by 1Diamondinthesun

Harry spends most of his time in an empty house or a lonely darkroom, dreaming of leaving his small town for art school. He's invisible to most people. And then Louis Tomlinson sees him. Life will never be the same.

Or, the American high school AU loosely inspired by She's All That.

Definition of Beauty by zanni_scaramouche

“Your book is upside down.” Harry nods at Louis’ book, his history text now that he sees it too.

“I’d rather study you.”

They both blink, startled by the slip.

“With you. Study with you,” Louis rushes to say. “Liam says I’m shite at history, can you help?”

Louis’ caught off guard by an omega he nearly takes out with an errant footie ball. It’s not that Louis’ never seen Harry before, it’s that he can’t stop looking, and he’s desperate to figure him out.

Coffee Cups and Football Boots by kimtaedumb

Harry’s stood behind the counter again, but this time he’s painting his nails. Louis strolls up to the counter and, thanks to his no brain-to-mouth filter, blurts out, “Isn’t that a little girlish, Haz?” leaning closer to inspect.

Harry lets out a little huff as his hand slips, “Oh, damn, now I’ve messed it up,” he pouts and turns to Louis, “Why should making myself feel pretty be girly?”

Louis holds up his hands in surrender, “’M not judging, jus’ curious is all.”

(The entirely cheesy and cliché Christmas AU, in which Harry doesn’t give a damn what people think about him – mostly – and Louis may be a little bit in love.

Alternatively, the one in which Harry owns a café that’s barely scraping by and Louis is a footballer and he takes Harry away for Christmas.

Featuring Zayn as a cocky little shit that most definitely needs to be put back in his place, Niall as the loveable Irish dude who drinks too much and flirts with Zayn more than the average girl, and Liam who loves everyone but hates them all at the same time.)

Way in the World by flowsque

When Louis Tomlinson enters the waiting room, Harry can distinctly feel his heart sinking to his stomach. The man's hair is ruffled and dishevelled and his red jersey, damp with sweat from training, clings to his perfect and chiseled body. He stands there, almost unreal, against the glass door, peering inside the office. Harry knew this would’ve happened, sooner or later. That he would have bumped into him. They play for the same club after all, even if they’re in different leagues. It’s not weird. It is not. Except it totally is. - Or, the one where Harry has a knee injury and an embarrassing crush on Manchester United's pretty number ten.

I Long For You by AnotherAnonymousWriter

Thirty minutes later, he's sat on a bench in Hyde Park with a book in his lap and a travel mug with hot tea in his hand. Not far from where he's sat, a group of boys are playing football and a bunch of children are chasing each other. Life is good.

Or at least, life is good until he hears a familiar “LOOK OUT!” and sees a football flying in the direction of his face.

And then everything is black.

(Harry gets hit in the head by various objects and falls for a boy with blue eyes.)

ease the quiet and talk me down by cabinbythesea

Harry's a model and Louis' a footie player.

(Louis teaches Harry some football and Harry is insanely good at giving a lapdance).

Baby, It's You by Bearandleonardwrite

"Oh, yeah. Um..” Harry lets his hands fall to his sides. His brows furrow, face full of concern, and he asks, “You’re not, like, stalking me, are you?”

Louis can’t help the loud cackle that escapes his lips and immediately slaps one of his hands over his mouth to muffle the sound. “Oh my god, Harry, no!” Louis tells him, a little breathlessly, giggles still bubbling out of his chest. “Lottie’s one of the makeup artists here today and she somehow got me to agree to come. I had no idea you modeled for, uh.. this brand until I saw you walk.”

“Oh,” Harry says dumbly, eyebrows still pinched. He lets what Louis just said sink in before a bright grin takes over his face and he goes back to doing up the buttons on his shirt. “Well, that’s alright, then. I’m glad you could make it.

(Basically, Louis' a footie player for Man U and Harry's a YSL model. They meet at a masquerade.)

Touch by kotabear24

Harry's shy and virginal with a past, new on the football team; Louis' the (experienced) popular star of the team and Harry's new mentor.

Come In and Change My Life by lightswoodmagic (sarah_writes)

He’d had the same neighbours since he’d moved into the building, a lovely, wealthy couple in their late sixties who had always invited him around for tea on Sundays. Martha had dropped off homemade biscuits the day he’d moved in, so Harry figured he may as well repeat the sentiment. He could hear someone getting closer to the door just as a flush ran through his body; oh fuck. His heat was close, too close to be knocking on a potentially unknown alpha’s door, but it was too late. The door swung open, and Harry’s mouth dropped. He’d never been overly interested in football, couldn’t find the fascination in watching men run around after a ball for hours aside from their uniforms, but he knew who this was. Louis Tomlinson, alpha, captain of Manchester United, star in a number of Harry’s heat addled fantasies, was his new next-door neighbour.

Or, Harry and Louis become friends when Harry looks after Louis' cat during away games, until one night at a party changes everything between them. It's just a shame Louis' going to be away for the FIFA World Cup for three months.

see the truth (it's me for you) by orphan_account

If you asked Louis the first day of his French Literature class what he’d be doing on the last, he’d probably never have guessed it would involve helping a poorly Harry Styles study for the final exam. Good thing he’s not a betting man.

(Or the one where Louis and Harry spend an entire semester ignoring each other after a one-night stand, only to come face to face when Harry manages to catch the stomach flu during finals week. Sometimes fate is funny like that.)

Use Your Words by zedi

based off this prompt: collage au where jock!harry always serenades flowercrown!louis with love songs in their music class. what nobody knows is that harry actually kinda means the words he sings.

But instead it's Louis as the jock and Harry as the flowerchild because I do what I want.

Stop The World (I Wanna Get Off With You) by ilikepianos

"You like this, don't you?", he asks breathlessly.

What? Sucking cock? Being dominated? Yes, all of that. A big fat yes.

Harry nods, lips still wrapped around Louis' throbbing dick.

Louis' lips curl into a smirk. "Keep going then. You're doing amazing, love."

OR: The uni-football AU where Harry may or may not have a minor crush on the captain of the team and suddenly discovers that the feeling is very much mutual.

Picture Perfect by LittleBubbleStyles

an AU where Louis Tomlinson is a misunderstood football player, and Harry Styles is a misunderstood photographer. Somehow, they're understood together.

I just think about my baby; I'm so full of love I could barely eat by mercutionotromeo

Harry and Louis are six hundred miles apart, but they have the same solutions to the same problem.

Or: a masturbation drabble featuring pillow humping, locker rooms, and copious amounts of dirty talk.

into another (another) serotonin overflow by mercutionotromeo

Harry wants this year to be different - wants it to be the year that he finally gets over this stupid crush. He’s going to uni, he needs to decide what he wants to do with his life.

Instead, he’s deciding what he wants to do to Louis Tomlinson.

Or: Sweet first time sex wherein Harry's adorably awkward, Louis is achingly cool, and Harry rides Louis wearing his jersey.

note: it says it in the tag but this is the edited version written in 2019, rather than the 2017 original- so there’s two put I put the link for the newest one :)

need a little sweetness in my life by mercutionotromeo

Harry's always liked feeling desperate and small when Louis touches him, but when he sucks Harry off...it’s fucking otherworldly. Desperate’s not really the word at that point - it’s helpless. Like… like the fucking world could stop spinning and Harry wouldn’t be able to do anything about it until Louis finished him off with his lips and his tongue.

Or, Harry and Louis go to university together. Harry really likes it when Louis sucks him off, and Louis really likes it when Harry calls him Daddy.

(Sequel to "into another serotonin overflow")

I made a map of your stars by brightbluelou

Harry does not have a crush on Louis Tomlinson. Yes, Louis is very pretty and funny, and Harry may have had more than a few inappropriate thoughts about him, but he certainly doesn’t like him. (Except for the fact that he totally does.) or, Harry is the shy boy in the back of the class that no one really notices. Louis is the loud, outgoing football player that everybody likes.

We Made These Memories for Ourselves by supernope

Breath held, Harry squints his eyes open and focuses on the first stick. A blue line. Harry breathes out an unsteady breath. He’s pretty sure he read that one blue line is a negative, but he fishes the box from the bottom of the pile just to make sure.

“Negative,” he confirms, voice echoing around the small room. “Next.”

Now that he’s feeling a little less shaky, he scans the rest of the tests at once, is met with a headache-inducing mixture of pink plus signs and blue double lines. His heart rate picks up until it’s pounding triple-time in the base of his throat and the pit of his stomach, thundering in his ears and throbbing in his temples. He flips over the rest of the boxes slowly, but he knows what they’re going to say before he even looks.

[or, Louis is a footballer, Harry owns a bakery, and they're having a baby.]

Kiss Me on the Mouth and Set Me Free by ls2k14   

Louis has his head thrown back in a laugh, his wet fringe hanging in front of his eyes, and a beautiful flush to his cheeks. From this angle, the sun hits his face just right to where the beams of light are shining in between the spaces of each individual clump of watered down eyelashes. His chest is showing through the soaked material of his white jersey and it seems that his biceps are attempting to break free from the sleeves that are clinging to his skin.

And Harry can do nothing except take it all in. He doesn’t even think he’s breathing at this point. He is literally stuck in place, admiring the true beauty of Louis Tomlinson, while being surrounded by fit footballers and generally attractive people. He doesn’t think he’s ever been in love before, but if Louis let him, he’s pretty damn sure he could change that in the matter of a few nanoseconds.
