SHIP BATTLE RULES

People are to go into my ask box and submit any characters they would like to be featured in the ship battle. You are not to submit actual ships, the ships will be randomly decided based on what characters get submitted, that way it’s fair and we don’t just get all of the most popular ships, we can also get some absolutely ridiculous ships you’ll have to choose between. Of course there is always a chance that a popular ship will end up being randomly created.

If you wish to submit a character you must submit:

A main gen character

A marauders gen character

A next gen character

A character from one of the games (HM, HL, MA)

A death eater/order member/ministry official character

A miscellaneous character (creature, professor, founder etc.)

And two other characters of your choosing.

I will be accepting common OC’s such as Grant Chapman and Daisy Dursley

This means with each submission there will be eight characters, and this is to create a large variety of characters and large variety of ships. You also cannot submit more than once.

Once I have 64 characters (32 ships) the ship battle will commence. You’ll be able to find all other posts under the #hpshipbattles tag. This is all for good natured fun, don’t take the ships too seriously they are randomly generated from a large pool of 64 characters after all.

Below the cut is the characters that have been submitted so far.

HELLO CC FANDOM!!

A few folks and I over on one of the Criminal Case Discord Servers have been brainstorming a CC AU concept! We call it WildSide!CC (Or WS!CC, CC:WS, etc.), and it essentially involves various characters re-imagined as animal-people, set in a universe where humans have a few animal-like features (Like how catboys have tails and ears I guess?). Here's what we came up with:

Characters:

We only have a few characters so far, so bear (lol) with us!

(Season 1)

Nathan - Snow leopard, people just refer to him as a catboy though, which he doesn't really mind

Jones - Husky-Golden Retriever mix

Grace - Red Fox

Alex - Avian, specifically a Blue Jay

Ramírez - Honey Badger

Cathy - Axolotl

Tony - Tiger (no pun intended)

Chief King - Lion

Ginger - Secretary bird

Alden - Andean Cock-Of-The-Rock (🫵😂)

(Season 2)

Amy - Penguin

Frank - Brown Bear

Karen - White Peacock

Yann - Lobster

Roxie - Parrot

Hannah - Ram

Russell - Spider

Andrea - Panther

(Season 5)

Zoe - Shima Enaga

Martine - Lynx

Some helpful tips!

It's typically a little frowned upon to ask people (especially dogfolk) what "breed" they are. If they're open about it, they'll tell you. Otherwise it's kind of intrusive to ask.

No, catnip is not like weed for cats. Still, felinefolk with the gene that makes them respond to catnip are advised against using it in professional settings.

There are insect-people! The most common are beetlefolk.

Feral (normal) animals still exist, and are owned as pets. It's nothing weird to them.

Bird people have wings, though they’re not very useful: they’re there for warmth, or cosmetic purposes.

People who are "bigger" birds like eagles, vultures etc. can, with great effort, hover above ground for a few seconds but that's about it.

Mythical animals are allowed! Dragons, unicorns, etc.

Meowing at catfolk is seen as strange. Think of it as if you cooed at a grown adult.

Avians still molt! Some bird-parents like to keep the feathers they shed in “feather albums”.

Bird-people have bird-like feet but they're not as thin as regular bird’s. Same thickness as a human’s, but they have all the scales that birds do.

As babies, arachnids do have these sort of pseudo-limbs accompanying their actual human arms. These limbs are very spider-like, but they shed them after a while. It’s a little bit of a gross process, as they fall off like teeth, but it's better to let them shed these "legs", as taking them off manually is painful and can result in scarring if done too early.

OCs are allowed and encouraged! Be it you make a character for this AU specifically or take a fan character you already had and make them fit into the AU, that's completely fine! also please tag me if you do I'd love to see it

And, finally:

While this is, technically, a CC:WS "masterpost," don't take this as an end-all-be-all! If you want to add your own canon, switch up your favorite character's species, or divert from what we've stated here in any way, feel free! No hard limit, no rules other than to have fun :D

(big big shoutout to @transgnderflag for helping with species hcs AND organizing our brainstorms into a neat lil list!! :3)

CAT X YANN

[retr0scum]

Yann Itor (just call him Yann)

The park's janitor, they could only afford one (jokin jokin..)

He's secretly an "amalgamation" of some previous rides that closed in the past and can use their powers anytime. But chooses not to cause he has better things to do (like fighting carps in River Rapids)

Originally a scrapped concept of a Corkscrew but they kept him as a janitor. He likes turning back into Corkscrew on his free time..

@chikoyama a demandé : 3, 4

3. whose writing has impacted your writing style the most? (you can choose anyone! famous writer or not.)

[ HMMMMM... i have no clue tbh, i feel like my writing style is just a frankenstein's monster and i have been writing for so long that it's just developed into its own thing atp... def hg wells is one of my favourite authors, i love his descriptions and just how raw he writes emotions, and i rrrrrrrrreally do love yann martel's writing style, i want to read more books written by him and hopefully reach a level of beauty in my writing as his ]

4. which muse of yours is your all time favorite? if you stopped writing them: why?

[ oh boy this is embarrassing as hell but my all time fav is definitely definitely denmark from the aph series... i've revamped him into an oc and i do still write him although in my own stories, so idk if it still counts as writing HIM ? since atp he's just an oc now. (my second favourite has to be isa / saïx from the kh series — see the pattern here ? ) ]

questions for muns | accepting

[soso-dedeck]

My OC's eyes

Redan - Féres - Mathias - Ymalia - Léo - Yann - Saraskia - Domizio

Which eyes are your favourite ?

Happy Blorbo Blurbsday!!

Do any of your character's names have a special meaning? If yes - who and what? If no - how then did you choose the names?

<3

CJ

So, most of my character names come out of random generation, but there are a few exception. Let's break it down by story.

The Archivist's Journal:

Almost all of the names in The Archivist's Journal I pulled from random dice roll tables in the back of the D&D sourcebook Xanathar's Guide To Everything. With three notable exceptions.

Pat: The friendly and nostalgic Village elder who's the first one to greet the Archivist upon washing up on the shore and repeatedly acts as a source of information and advice (albeit one fond of cryptic phrasing). His name was mostly a reference to the the book Life of Pi by Yann Martel, and its protagonist Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel who at one point winds up on a rather strange island but who also might be phrasing the entire story as a metaphor and/or coping mechanism. There's probably also a little bit of a reference to Saint Patrick as a revered figure associated with an island.

Theo: Pat's far less cordial counterpart who's implied to be possibly immortal, or something close to it. His name's mostly a pun about the theoretical and theological implications of his existence and role in the world of the Village.

Vernon: I don't know, dude just felt like a "Vernon" to me.

Empty Names:

So, with the main cast, in my initial brainstorming document I had them listed as Characters A/B/C/D/E, and they were arranged by gender with A and E being cis but gender noncomforming, B and D being transmasc and transfemme respectively, and C being genderfluid. This is the sort of conceptual symmetry that pleases me. A became Ashan Glassheart, B became Sullivan Bridgewood, and E became Eris. C and D became Road and Lacuna respectively, breaking from that original letter association (although maybe if I ever decide on a last name for Lacuna it will start with a D).

Ashan and Sullivan's names ultimately came from https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/, with some modification along the way. For Eris, I just started adding random syllables after the letter 'E' until something sounded good (the mythological reference was a happy accident, albeit one I embraced). Road and Lacuna's names were a bit more involved, and largely owe themselves to this post (that post also dictated which generator I used for Sullivan's name).

In trying to name Lacuna like a "22nd century cyberpunk hacker jewel thief" I remembered a word I'd been fond of ever since I first encountered it while reading Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan. It's a word that on one level just sounds really cool to me on a strictly phonetic sense, and on another level appeals to my fascination with absence/emptiness/void. I'd used it for one or two video game characters in the past and have always been on the lookout for a place to use it on a character for whom it would really fit, and I think found I finally found it with this Lacuna. Also, having named her a word meaning "an unfilled space or interval; a gap" was part of what led to the story as a whole being titled Empty Names. One part a play on Lacuna's name, and one part a reference to the linguistic philosophy/metaphysics concept of a proper name that refers to something or someone that doesn't exist. That concept in turn winds up referring in the story both to deadnames and to Road's ontological issues.

As for Road's name, that's partially a result of that previously-linked meme post about trans names commenting about non-binary names often being nouns, and partly a matter of them being a sort of spiritual successor to my oldest OC. That was a character that I'd been making up stories for since elementary or middle school (but never writing any of them down) whose thing was traveling from world to world, trying to do good, but most often by either providing additional support for the actual main character or by making some minor change that sets off a butterfly effect of consequences. They were originally a self-insert fanfic character but over time I started making up original stories just for them. Again, never wrote any of it down, just something to keep me occupied while daydreaming or trying to get to sleep that I continuously added to over time. And then in highschool I heard Greenday's Boulevard of Broken Dreams for the first time and that character suddenly had both a name and a framing device for how they got from world to world. Their name (more of a title really, not having a real name was a big part of their character) became The Walker (or just "Walker") and they traveled a seemingly infinite interdimensional highway, lined with bubbles that acted as portals to various worlds. While not the same character, Road inherited a lot of The Walker's characteristics and made the road that The Walker walked into their own name-that's-actually-just-a-convenient-alias-because-they-don't-have-a-real-Name-anymore.

The Melts:

Just a small one-off standalone story that I wrote for Halloween, but the name of the main character, Mil, has its roots in my personal life even further back than Road's.

When I was really young, I watched the movie Milo and Otis more times than I can remember. That's a movie about a kitten (Milo) and puppy (Otis) that grow up on a farm, become best friends, and then get lost and separated and grow up while trying to find their way back home and eachother. And then when my siblings and I finally talked our parents into getting us a cat, we wound up with an orange kitten that we named Milo, whom I also have a lot of nostalgia about, but anecdotes about him are a story for another time. Suffice to say, the name "Milo" and its feline association has stuck in my head for my entire life, resulting in several characters in RPGs getting named Milo (including my Guild Wars 2 charr) and an OC that was related to my oldest OC, The Walker (see the explanation on Road's name above).

Anyway, when I was coming up with the main POV character for The Melts I wanted it to be someone with biological augmentations that would be notable but not too weird. This led to the classic catgirl/catboy ears and tail; something that's just a little bit out there for a "normal" human being to have in our world, but would be considered boring and basic in that world. But I also wanted gender to be all over the place in that story, and so I made the POV character they/them nonbinary (again, simultaneously very slightly unusual in our world, but the most boring/basic/"normal" option that appears in that world story). So, the cat ears/tail led to me pulling "Milo" out as my archetypal catboy and then slicing the 'o' off of the end of the name to make it slightly more nonbinary by being less associated with a common-ish real-world masculine-gendered name.

The rest of the names in that story I left as placeholders until the entire story was written and then randomly pulled a bunch of names from babynames.com (with minor modifications) as I rushed to get the story posted in time for Halloween.

9 People You Want to Get to Know Better

Major thanks to @ddbirb for the tag :)!! In exchange, I'll tag @boowhumps, @cosycaracal, @ioncedreamedaflower, @minutiaewriter, @eli-writes-sometimes, and whoever else wants to partake to fill the gaps bc i actually dont have a ton of tags ;;;

3 ships:

#1: Soundwave x Shockwave (Transformers)

This ship is actually a lot more rare than I first assumed. Whenever I go digging up content of it, there's usually small rations here and there. No where enough to feed me but more than enough to appreciate.

I know for a fact that what I have to say about them won't do my perception much justice, as there's so much I could and want to dabble on, but I've been obsessed with this ship in particular, not because of my current Decepticon fixation (well, yes, because of that), but it seems kinda fitting, if that makes sense?? I also like the idea of a tsundere Soundwave and a Shockwave in denial (because its "ilLoGiCAl" or whatever lol), and the thought of just, y'know, two introverts being lucky enough to stumble upon and love each other in such a way is adorable to me :')

That was a little ramble-y. uhh... i won't do the same with the others dont worry.

#2: Polymorphic/Vladimir x Vyrus (Databrawl)

I recently learned that people tend to get annoyed at this one because others call Vladimir a "simp" for Vyrus, but hear me out.

I've been wanting to get into Databrawl for the longest time now and study its lore, and from what I've encountered so far, I actually like their potential over anything else in this ship. I don't know about you, but I don't think there's anything more romantic than devoting your loyalty to someone, all while agreeing to help them conquer their (albeit, innocent) enemies and making sure they see their way through things. I love ships like that!

Not to mention that it's literally cannon that Vladimir is Vyrus's favorite Corruption. If we're talking about shipping, then this one's got the most important luggage, for sure X)

#3: I can't think of a third one, sorry :( (at least not one that isn't my OCs. If I could, it'd probably be related to warrior cats lol)

Last song:

haunt me (x3) by Teen Suicide. In fact, I'm listening to it right now as I type this out. What a coincidence!

Last movie:

Disney/Pixar Cars (2006). I walked in to my brother's room while he was watching it and, of course, I was glued to the screen :)

Last book:

Yann Martel's Life of Pi. I'm reading it for my English class and I LOVE it so far! Currently on chapter 9.
