[dragons-of-jotunheim]

Currently suffering from the consequences of taking a children's cartoon Way Too Seriously

I really love The Flight Stuff, I think it's funny and Nicolai of course loves any and all Gustav content. But now that we're writing a fic beginning during the events of the episode we're realizing that it's actually pretty messed up.

Snotlout genuinely believes he's dying, and no one cares At All. They don't think it's serious or real of course, but Snotlout absolutely does. Considering this takes place after Race to Fireworm Island, where he tells a presumably dying Hookfang that he's not "just another sword" it's even more jarring to me that Snotlout is so determined to replace himself with Gustav. Snotlout knows that Hookfang is irreplaceable, but he apparently views himself as just another sword. He can be replaced and die and everyone would be fine without him.

And then the other Riders PLAY INTO THAT??? They specifically plan to "show him how easily he can be replaced"?? I understand they're doing that to convince him he's not dying, but I can't really comprehend how they got from Point A to Point B. He doesn't even fully understand it until it's revealed the twins were pranking him and Hiccup once again has to tell him he's not dying. So like, he got angry about it, but for a brief period of time HIS FRIENDS had him convinced he was just another sword. ACTUALLY NUTS IMO.

And then there's Gustav caught in the crossfire. He just wants to be a Dragon Rider, and it is literally a dragon training academy. I understand the show's budget was 2 dollars and a ball of lint, and it would've been harder/more expensive to directly follow the ending of HTTYD1, but it is still INSANE to me that we didn't get any other official Dragon Riders besides Stoick until SEASON TWO of RTTE.

From Gustav's perspective it makes perfect sense for them to train other riders, and then when he catches himself a dragon they all start being completely supportive. (They're lying to make Snotlout feel like shit, but I bet Gustav doesn't know that!! He must've thought that he was actually doing great and he had finally proven himself!!) But then after the twins' prank is revealed it turns out NOPE they don't need him and he does suck and they're not even going to teach him about dragons in any capacity. That's just...so shitty to me dude.

The gang comes up with a plan that straight up emotionally manipulates both Snotlout and Gustav, and the story doesn't acknowledge how fucking shitty that is?? I get Snotlout is an asshole but he doesn't deserve to have his friends (temporarily or not) convince him that he's completely replaceable. AND GUSTAV IS LITERALLY TWELVE. HE DID NOT DESERVE THEM LITERALLY THROWING HIM OUT!!!

Hehehe what do you think?

*He gives a playful grin, like keeping people guessing this was a game to him*

[daybreakrising]

d&d session done! we've moved on from vampire snow white to demon cinderella and lich prince charming-

trying to strike a deal with a clearly powerful demon when the party consists of two socially inept idiots (who hilariously have the highest charisma) & a blunt-to-the-point-of-rude social recluse was uh........ interesting, let's say. our anxious dad-energy wizard had to take the lead on that one and whilst it didn't go exactly the way he wanted, he didn't do a bad job slkjbgdlkh

this game is total chaos all the time and i love it so much

Wenclair x Child!Avian!Reader

[Summary:]  Y/n is a rare outcast who has wings, but her parents don’t care enough to take care of her. So what happens when She runs away to the safety and protection of Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams after hearing her parents make a deal with a persistent man who will stop at nothing to get his end of it? 

[Warnings:] ooc Wednesday?

[A/n:] Please request ideas either for this story or others! Enjoy! :]

Part |

[With Weems]

Principle Weems never expected to get asked to help by her students often. So imagine her surprise when THE Wednesday Addams came to her and asked Weems to help her with something. Well not really The goth student really just told Weems to come with her fur something, but that count as something right?

Though the tall woman didn't look the part, she was starting to get nervous. The two outcast were walking in the middle of the forest , which was starting to fog from after the storm. Wednesday was walking on front of the white haired principle with a purpose, muttering incoherent things under a breath. Wait. did she say Ms. Sinclair's name?

"Wednesday, dear where are we going?" A pause.

"I need to get you to the insufferable werewolf named Enid Sinclair." Wednesday muttered, before straightening her back and walking a little faster when the worn down shed finally came into view. Ah. The shed that she let Xavier have for his paintings. Oh but why does Enid need her? And why not get her herself?

As the two neared the shed, Weems could see Enid a little through the window, and she thought she could see someone else two ,but couldn't put her finger on it. Finally the Wednesday and Weems got to the door and opened it to see Enid and.....a child?

Enid looked up from something on her phone and gave Principle Weems a weary smile. "Uh, Hi Ms. Weems. You uh may be confused on why I told Wednesday to bring you here." Enid glanced at Y/n. "I'm more confused on how you got Wednesday to listen to you." Weems stared at Enid before nodding. "I would like that very much."

Enid sighed deeply, looked at Wednesday, then a sleeping Y/n before answering. "Well as you see I found Y/n here using Xavier's shed for shelter and she's hurt," Enid looked at Weems's unchanging gaze and gulped. "Badly, And I was wondering if....if you can help me with her." Weems sighed and Enid quickly started to ramble. "Please, uh you know the police in Jarico won't really care and she said that she ran away and-"

Wednesday cut Enid off stepping in front of Enid and looked up at Weems. "The girl can stay with us while I find a lead to where her parents are, or some kind a guardian to take her back." Wednesday spoke plainly, crossing her arms.

"Girls, this is a lot to ask." Weems sighed and stepped closer to the sleeping girl and inspected her wounds. "That's a lot of scratches." On Y/n's face and arms, there also seems to be a bald spot with a scratch on her left wing which is red and irritated. "Okay girls we need to get her to the infirmary and quick, or else these injures will get worse or even infected."

Enid hesitated. "S-should I carry her? She's very jumpy." Weems smiled and nodded. "Yes, you may. We don't want to cause her to panic."

Enid walked over to Y/n and kneels down to pick her up bridal style, the winged girl resting her cheek on Enid's chest while her other left arm was resting on her belly, and her wings awkwardly pressed against Enid's fore arms. Enid smiled and started out the door behind Principle Weems.

Wednesday watched the whole ordeal and was thinking hard on what lead she would have as she reached towards the light and flicked it off before following Enid and Weems. Why had you run away from your parents at such a young age? Maybe you were on a walk and got lost, but no because Enid specifically said that you wrote in her notebook that you ran away. But why? That is what she was going to find out. It's been some time since she had a good mystery to solve.

[At Nevermore]

Enid and Wednesday walked through the entrance of Nevermore side by side while Weems walked ahead. Enid looked the smaller girl's side profile, entranced by her beauty before speaking. "Thank you for helping back there." She spoke in a softer voice than usual, so not to wake up Y/n who was still sleeping peacefully.

"I simply said the truth," Wednesday continued to look in front of her. Some of the students who had free-time or study-hall in the quad looked at them with curiosity evident in their eyes all wondering the same thing. Why is there a five year old in Enid's arms? And was she hurt? Of course Wednesday shot a glare at everyone's way and they all looked back to what they were doing quickly.

"Still, you helped me, that is a big deal for The Wednesday Addams, so is letting me hug you." Wednesday stayed silent and continued to walk after Weems. She would rather wear color then admit that maybe, just maybe, she was going a little soft for her roommate.

The three finally reached the infirmary and walked through the door. The inside wasn't very busy. There was one or two who were in the bed groaning in pain, or resting but that was it. A middle aged nurse working on one of the vampires looked up and immediately smile, clearly not seeing Y/n in Enid's arms.

"Hi, how can I help you girls?" Weems smile back and nodded towards Y/n and started to speak. "This little girl needs your medical attention, Michelle." Michelle then turned her head to the girl in Enid's arms with wide eyes. "Oh, yes! Yes put her down on that bed right there." She pointed to a bed next to a window, and Enid walk over there to place Y/n down on it as softly as she can and backed away. "Hmm, lets see." Michelle mumbled to herself and checked over Y/n's face, arms and everywhere else. "Do you know where these scratches came from?"

"I don't know, I just found her like that already." Enid mumbled and Michelle sighed and continued to check on Y/n. Enid shifted on her feet and fidgeted with her jacket strings. "Stop moving it's annoying." "Sorry, I'm just worried." Wednesday turned to look at her with a look she couldn't describe. "About what? There aren't fatal injuries." "I know, but that's not what I'm worried about," Enid whispered back. "I'm worried Y/n will wake up and freak out again." Wednesday noted that she said 'again' but said nothing else as she watched the nurse stand up.

"Well she'll be fine, and she has a few deep scratches on her back and left wing, which looked like it was made from a knife." Michelle glanced at Enid, who looked very worried, and Wednesday who had a slightly annoyed expression, before continuing. "And she may need lots of rest, but other than that she is fine."

Weems dipped her head in response and started to walk towards the door. "Thank you Ms. Rayburn and I expect you to take good care of her while I talk to these girls." Michelle nodded and went to grab things to patch up Y/n. Weems looked back at Wednesday and Enid. "Come with me to my office girls." Then started to walk towards her office with the roommates following behind her.

After a few minutes they all finally entered Weems's office and sat in the two chairs in front of her desk. Weems sighed as she sat down. "Ms. Sinclair, I will grant you permission to take care of Y/n while Ms. Addams investigate her parents whereabouts." Enid immediately smiled and perked up while Wednesday's face filled with small determination and.....relief? "You will need to take care of her and I'm trusting to do so, okay Ms. Sinclair?" Enid nodded as her smile widened impossibly more. Wednesday finally spoke up since entering Nevermore. "What about when we are both in classes?" "Hmm, if you trust her enough I suppose she can stay in the dorm, or she can go with one of you to classes as long as she doesn't interrupt."

Enid and Wednesday nodded. "You two are dismissed please go to your next class, you can visit Y/n on your free-time." They both stood and started to exit the office. They both went out of Weems's office and walked out together.

"So...where are you going next, Willa?"

"Call me that again and you won't make it to your next full moon."

"But that's in a few days.."

"Precisely."

Enid abruptly stopped walking in surprise and stared at the back of Wednesday's head as she kept walking. "This is the girl you like?" What Enid could only assume was her wolf scoffed. Her wolf had been there since she first wolfed out, well have been talking since she wolfed out. Enid started walking back to the infirmary, to go check on Y/n."Oh shush. I don't like her." She could practically feel her wolf raise their brow.

"Mhm, lets see, shortness of breath, check. Heart rapidly beating at the sight of her, check. Flushed face when you are near her, check. Possessiveness check." Enid rolled her eyes and continued to walk to the infirmary. She didn't like Wednesday....right? No. she like Ajax.....right? "You're annoying you know that?" "I try" Enid grumbled and reached the infirmary doors, screaming- no screeching coming from the other side of them.

Enid hurriedly pushed the doors open to see Michelle trying to calm a screaming Y/n door, while Y/n fought and scratched at her. "Fuck." Enid ran towards Y/n picking her up from behind and holding her arms in place so she wouldn't scratch. Y/n screeched louder, not knowing that it was her.

"Shh, it's okay Y/n it's me, Enid." She sat down on the bed next to her with Y/n on her lap, while running her fingers through Y/n's unkempt, H/c hair. The screeching soon came down to a small trill/purring noise. "Shh" Enid murmured. Michelle smiled as she came closer gripping bandages in her right hand. "How are you so good at this?" She whispered to not startle Y/n again. "I don't really know, maybe I'm just the first person she trusts for god knows how long."

"Well do you think you can keep doing it? I still need to take care of her arms and wings." Y/n glared at Michelle, her wings pressed to her back. "I dare you to come closer, scary lady." Y/n thought and shuffled closer to Enid. Said girl huffed and rubbed Y/n's head. "Y/n it's okay she's just going to help you with your scratches." Now it was Y/n's turn to huff as Michelle nervously came closer with alcohol to stop an infection. "This may get hectic" Enid gave her a deadpan look. "You think?" Enid grumbled leaning down to whisper into Y/n's ear. "This is going to sting a little okay?" She nodded slowly.

Michelle put the alcohol on a cloth and held out her hand for Y/n's arm. She slowly put it on a very long scratch that looked very deep and painful. Y/n winced, her feathers ruffling and puffing out. "You're doing great, sweetie." Michelle mumbled and started to wrap the bandage around Y/n's arm before moving to her left wing, gently holding it to see the spot without feathers and a scratch that was starting to scab. She quickly did the same thing, backed away with a comforting smile.

"All done." Y/n got up from Enid's lap, and stretched her left wing then her right before smiling and flapping them both, and levitated off the ground for a few seconds. She winced again and came back to the ground. Enid smiles before going to Y/n giving a quick smile to Michelle. "Can she come with me to my dorm?" Y/n was just happily hopping up and down while flapping her wings, wincing in pain a few times though. "Sure, she may still need rest though so watch out."

"Got it! Come on Y/n." Enid stuck her hand out for her, which she hesitantly took. Having not been listening earlier not knowing where they were going. "Bye, Michelle!" "Bye! Tell me if she needs any more help"

[The dorm with Wednesday.]

When Wednesday finally opened the door to her shared dorm she went straight to her typewriter. It was her writing time and she very much wished to be left alone for concentration. But that seemed impossible when her mind was filled with everything that happened that morning.

Wednesday angrily ripped out yet another paper out of her typewriter, and threw towards her now paper-filled trashcan. Thing , being the best friend he is, quickly started to move his fingers in concern. "It's none of your business, Thing." Thing signed something else which only angered her more, causing her to reach into the drawer pull out a knife and throw it. The knife penetrated the wall by Thing as he trembled in fear and finally left Wednesday be.

The said girl rubbed the bridge of her nose and sighed deeply as another headache started to form. "This insufferable headaches are getting pretty annoying." She muttered. Just then on the other side of the door, Wednesday heard the jiggle of keys as Enid and Y/n walked through the door hand and hand. "Hey Wednesday." Enid gave a tired smile and locked the door again. Wednesday only nodded in response.

Y/n only looked around the room in slight awe, staying clear of Wednesday's side of the room. Enid had told her not to go on the Addams's side without permission. Y/n immediately caught sight of Enid's plush collection and went over to get a closer look as Enid went over to her crush roommate. "So, did you find anything yet?" "Not yet, Sinclair," Enid noticed the other girl's frustration in her voice and took a step back. She then caught sight of the knife stuck in the wall. "Okay, from the knife in the wall I can tell your feeling murderous so I going to go back to my side," Enid muttered, but heard a scream of surprise from Y/n. "Hmm, maybe she found that tarantula I lost from class." Wednesday muttered.

"THE WHAT?" Enid yelled, then frantically looked at Y/n to only see that she met Thing. She sighed in relief, then glared at Wednesday as she smirked. "A beautiful sight," She could almost feel her wolf grin. "I see why you picked her." Enid only huffed. Wednesday spoke up. "Come on, Enid. Do you really think I'm gullible enough to let a tarantula out of my hands?" "To scare the shit out of someone, yes."

"Touché." She went back to her place in front of her typewriter. Enid turned to Y/n who was now smiling faintly as Thing was petting her unruly hair. She sighed and walked back to her side and sat down on her bed. She looked outside the half colorful window to see that the sun was starting to set. "Luckily it's Friday." Enid looked at Y/n who only looked at her with curiosity while playing with Things fingers. "Come on Y/n want to watch something on my computer?" She could hear Wednesday scoff from her side of their dorm, but ignored it.

Y/n nodded, and climbed on Enid's bed, still hugging Thing. Enid smiled and got her computer from her nightstand by her bed. After they settled down laying in front of the computer, Enid started to put on the Trolls movie. Everything was going well at first, Y/n's eye filled with amazement as the characters moved on screen, but just as the first song started to play, Wednesday huffed in annoyance. "Why must it be a film with pathetic and disgustingly optimistic songs?" "Because it will most likely entertain her more Wednesday!" Enid muttered. Wednesday scoffed, turning to face the glaring Enid and the entranced Thing and Y/n.

"A book can do that too."

"I don't think she can read that well, Wednesday." Wednesday stared for a bit thinking a bit then spoke. "Then I'll teach her." Enid narrowed her eyes suspiciously "You...teach her? Really?" Wednesday got up from her seat and walked over, looking at Y/n. "Obliviously if she can't read at five her parents are doing something wrong." She switched her gaze to Enid. "And you can't even write correctly." "It's called text language." Enid mumbled. "Exactly. A idiotic made up way of writing."

Wednesday was fine with this, surprisingly. There wasn't much going on at Nevermore now that the mystery of the Hyde was solved and the stalker hasn't done anything since before the break. And she could teach someone her ways of doing things so as Enid said it a win-win.

"I guess.." Enid hesitated. To say that Enid was confused was an understatement. She didn't actually expect Wednesday to help Y/n with anything. Actually she didn't expect her to even take a second glance at the winged girl. "Oooo wifey material!" Enid furrowed her eyes and blushed slightly. "Shut up!" she thought as she went back to Y/n and Thing. Wednesday then grunted as another song started and went to take herself a shower.

[half an hour later]

Once the movie finished Y/n sat and clapped her hand in excitement that poppy and the other trolls didn't get eaten. Enid chuckled. "So I guess you liked the movie then?" She nodded getting off the bed with Thing and started to play a game where from what Enid could guess Y/n was a Bergen and Thing a troll as she chased him around. Enid was glad that she was trusting them more, and looked over to see Wednesday struggling to read a book because of the noise, but oddly didn't say a word as her jaw was clinched shut.

Enid looked at time and it was about time for dinner. She looked at Y/n. Since Enid found Y/n after lunch she doubted that Y/n had anything to eat for a while and it looks like Wednesday would like a break. "Hey, Y/n!" She stopped chasing Thing, her hair and feathers ruffled, while Wednesday looked up from her book. "It's about dinner time, want to come with me to get something?" She nodded hesitantly, slowly reaching out her hand for Enid to grab. Enid's attention turned to Thing.

"Please take care of Miss Grumpy." She whispered as Thing made a thumbs up and started to crawl towards Wednesday as they headed out the door. Once again Y/n and Enid walked hand and hand as they walked the halls of Nevermore. The air smelled of rain even if it stopped long ago, as the Werewolf and Avian finally reached the Quad.

Many students were hanging out with their respective friend groups or outcast groups when Enid and Y/n entered. Some students stopped their conversations and stared at Enid and Y/n as they did earlier, which made a little insecure and hide half her face behind her left wing. "Don't worry ignore them." Enid whispered as they finally neared where the food was. luckily tonight they were serving pizza with some other side foods. Enid filled Y/n's tray with two slices of pizza, some juice and fruit and handed it to her.

Y/n nodded in appreciation and looked at the food longingly. As Enid started to make her plate Y/n couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her, so she turned around to see a group of outcasts looking in both bewilderment and curiosity. Y/n shuddered. Carefully balancing her tray on one hand as she tugged Enid's sweater.

Enid looked down with confusion plastered on her face. "What's wrong Y/n?" Y/n pointed to the group of students who happen to be Yoko and the others. "Oh, yeah I haven't told them.." Enid muttered "Come on, Y/n lets go say hi." Y/n hesitated, looking back and forth from Enid and her friends. "Don't worry they are friends of mine!" Enid took Y/n's tray and held them carefully in her hands while Y/n was gripping on Enid's pants tightly as they walked over.

"Hi guys!" Enid greeted loudly as she set down their trays, helping Y/n on the seat next to her. Yoko cleared her throat and looked at Enid with curiosity. "Sup Enid." Her gaze switched to Y/n, the girl having a staring contest with them. "So who's this?" "Oh this is Y/n." Y/n started to feel uncomfortable with all the eyes on her as she shifted in her seat. Divana then gasp from beside Yoko. "Oh. my. god. Enid did you kidnap a child?" Enid looked at her in surprise. "What? No I found her taking shelter in Xavier's shed."

Divana then looked at the now bewildered Xavier besides Kent. "Wha- Don't look at me I didn't kidnap her!" Enid sighed and looked back at the arguing group. "Guys stop, no one kidnapped her!" Enid sighed. "I found her taking shelter in Xavier's painting shed for the rain," She Looked at Y/n as she suspiciously poked at her pizza, hesitantly take a bite, the start to wolf the rest down as if its been a long time since she last ate. Which is possibly the case. "Soon Wednesday came to the shed for god only to know the reason, and we both decided to get Weems to make the decision to keep her, after the nurse fixed her wounds." She finished in one breath, and sighed in relief.

Yoko smirked teasingly, some of her fangs showing. "So you're taking care of a child with Wednesday?" Enid grabbed a grape from Y/n's tray, who whined in protest, and flung it at Yoko's head. "It's not like that, Yoko." Enid practically growled as she reached to eat her food to only feel nothing. She looked to Y/n who just pulled her hand away from Enid's plate and almost scarfed that down too. Bianca chuckled. "Well one thing is for sure is that she's got your appetite." Enid glared at her and huffed.

The rest of dinner went well. The group asking questions about Y/n. Enid answering them to the best of her abilities. Yoko teasing Enid about her and Wednesday taking care of Y/n. Enid almost shredding Yoko to bits with her claws (Y/n stared at Enid with adoration). And Y/n almost biting Xavier's finger off when he touched her shoulder. All good and well. Soon it was almost curfew and dinner was over, so the group said their goodbyes and headed to their dorms.

Enid looked exhausted as she threw away the rest of her and Y/n's food, which was practically nothing. When she was done, Enid took Y/n's hand and started back to her dorm. A blanket of silence settled over them as they walked back. Y/n was humming a tune from the movie they watched earlier. Enid, being the social butterfly that she is, wanted to know what Y/n was thinking of today.

"So Y/n did you like today?" She nodded enthusiastically, doing that thing she did in the Infirmary. She was flying! Well not exactly not flying but hovering. Her raven colored wings created a small breeze as they flapped. Y/n then realized what she was doing and stopped immediately. Enid looked confused at Y/n, but kept walking. "Why'd you stop flying?" She asked Y/n. Y/n only looked down, her head and wings drooping too.

"Hmm, well you know you can use your wings any time you want?" Y/n smiled. She never met someone this nice before! Well she never really met a lot of people but still! Hopefully she could stay here for a while. This is a good hiding place from that bad man from the forest, and her parents. She shivered at the thought of him catching her. Y/n liked it here! she liked the new things she experience today, Like Thing, Trolls, Pizza, and of course Enid and even Wednesday.

And for the first time as Y/n fell asleep that night hugging a penguin plushy from Enid, She felt as care free as a bird.

[A/n:] Phew! Finally! I hope you guys enjoyed this one! :]

[avesomnia-inhoramortis]

[ooc] trina-as-white-king asker here… i really enjoyed the previous post expanding on your thoughts. this too is mostly just rambling, please feel free to discard this from your inbox, i’m just so mesmerized by miquellatrina relationship and want so much to talk deeply about them with someone haha, analysis on them like the ones you’ve written down is such a salvation.

trina in her capacity as a maiden in the tower, as it is, has been really fascinating to me, even more so for the fact that i think she is much less passive than most are to believe. since elden ring is so entrenched in arturian ideals i always loved her as the lady of the lake. trina is submerged in water, her roots growing deep, her connection to lilies a light link to 'the romance of the water lily' being one of the lady's earliest written records. the proverbial sword the lady gives being the intangible, desperate & translucent instillation of the all consuming desire to kill miquella, once being hers, now passed down to thiollier & most of all the player. an analysis in the same vein of the same way you could interpret her and miquella’s respective positions as hell and heaven, physically the highest point and the lowest point. miquella ascends to heaven by casting trina to hell, to rebirth and give new life violence is a necessary thing.

it all entwines so nicely with your alchemization view on them — before the dlc released i had wanted trina to be specifically more masculine as a contrast to miquella… trina as the white king is so deeply satisfying for me because of this. you speak of her like an equalizer, which i agree with: even in the domain of sleep, i don’t believe any of the demigods are unique to it. a balancing beam act that she holds in place with her own too hands, the saint balancing the scales. her and miquella both bear such weight for children!

& the trans readings for miquella.. so delicious. i favor transfem miquella so tenderly but i really like what you’ve put down here! the desire be freed from the confines of the princess and the tower. trina being the opposite to him is really sweet to me too.. but i can imagine her just forsaking all of it, the will and the answer beyond any system. the cherry on top for me — you mentioned in your other post miquellatrina being, romantic like an experimentation for curiosity around lust. i was thinking about this for so long too! i think there’s a love there too deep and entrenched to reduce to simple physicality but on some level i don’t think the game tells you that marika and radagon’s relationship bore fruit despite them being one-of-the-same-whole just for you to think that their child’s relationship with his own other self was entirely chaste. i really enjoy them being the measure of all of each other… a first time together and perhaps a last as well. they follow in the path of their parents but something is vitally missing. what does it mean to be a child, eternally, what can they not have, and what can they freely take? what is allowed to them, and what is given, and what can they take? they’re so very similar but too different that they would always have been doomed to separation, in some grotesque and beautiful way. anyways. in any case they’re so so beloved to me i’ll definitely be thinking about these ideas for a while.

[ooc]

Ohhh my god I love all of this. I love all of this so much. And I definitely agree with transfem Miquella, I've just been going the angst route of "for my goals and what I want I can't AFFORD to be a woman", shoving down who he's meant to be for practicality's sake. He'd sacrifice anything for his sister. Including himself, and his own wants. He's already dealing with the age dysphoria, more on top of that is nothing right?

I NEED to read more Arthuriana, I've just read a couple of obscure ones like Sir Gowther and that one about the lord cursed to be a werewolf, and then I listen to a lot of Arthuriana-themed music sometimes. Tarnished Silver by Heather Dale is one I actually put on my Trina playlist.

I also absolutely analyze and characterize them through the lens of DID. It's not entirely accurate, obviously, considering the strong fantasy elements of everything going on, but the relationship between headmates is something really hard to explain or define well and I love slipping stuff like that into my writing. Like... you grew up together, so that could make you siblings, but it doesn't. You technically have the same family, but really only one of you does. No one else can love you like someone who has seen every thought and reason firsthand. You live inside eachother and haven't spoken in months. You miss eachother even though you have the same heartbeat. You kiss a boy for the first time but the person that finishes the kiss isn't you. It's complicated.

They're so very very wonderful and I'm so glad people are enjoying my rambles, PLEASE come back and ramble anytime.

[astericn]

btw   feel   free   to   !!      ask   questions   about   aster   if   you   have   any.   i’m   so   down   for   talking   about   him   at   all   times,   i’d   be   more   than   happy   to   answer   them   <3

[eievuimultimuse]

soooo. im only barely finishing up season 1 of TM.NT 2012 but....i might be considering adding a proper 2012 verse for SF & ali in the near future 👀 don't have super concrete ideas atm (mainly bc of aforementioned only finishing 1/5 seasons lol) but some things i do have in mind rn:

SF is a human-born in this verse. originally he was aster stockman.

aster & aliyah are bio siblings & both the children of felix (bc i REALLY can't see 12!baxter being a father in any capacity lol). they are both very estranged from their uncle & don't really have much interest in knowing him or anything he gets into

in this verse, aster is a boxer but works in mechanics in a car shop as his day job to help pay the bills. if he's not working on vehicles, he's likely training for whatever upcoming fight he can get. he's not as interested in science in this verse since he's got less of a connection to it (& if anything has inherited more of felix's aversion to it) (but aliyah's still def into science tho, it's her bread & butter. she openly pursues her interest despite her father's displeasure this time around & is studying engineering)

^^^ that being said, aster is quite passionate about his sport and can't stand when it's faked or staged. he thinks it gives it a bad name & is an insult to ppl who are genuinely trying, such as himself

as tends to be the case for poor aster, he WILL eventually mutate (i'm not sure how yet, i haven't gotten that far), which i figure would happen in season 1-ish timeline-wise since he'd just kinda be a random in the scheme of everything. anywho, as a way to differentiate him from stockmanfly a bit & lean more into the general weirdness that are the 2012 mutants, i've opted to make aster's mutated state a lil more based on superduperfly OR, more accurately, kaijufly from my own AU (pics under the cut for reference). it wouldn't be 1-1; i'll prolly draw a more accurate vision later. but yeah, the mutagen made him into smth of a bizarre, aquatic + insectoid hybrid

now my vision / initial concept is that post-mutation he's 6'8" like MM SF is & that he's still somewhat capable of boxing, even if it takes him some time to get used to this significantly heavier & slower body. but im also not opposed to the concept of him bein like the size of a small whale (technically the smallest whale species is only 6'7" but. you get what i mean gjkG) & it just bein like whoops! his chances of having any vague sort of normalcy, even in the shadows, are completely ruined!! but idk i'd prolly stick to the smaller vers. food 4 thought tho

as for aliyah, i havent decided if she would mutate or not. on one hand, part of me feels like she wouldn't & she'd be aster's anchor on humanity throughout. on the other hand, i have such a fun moth mutant concept that ive had forEVER that would work rlly well here & fit 2012's vibe that it's super tempting KJGHGJK

but yeah that's what i have so far. will add other details as i continue watching / as they occur to me !!

what do you think Skara's last name is?

You ask me a very simple question.

I spent 3 hours at work questioning my philosophy on headcannons, and what the line is between writing a fan interpretation of a character in another work and simply creating an OC.

I’ll answer this question, but let me just ramble for a bit.

Imagine a bubble. A big, red bubble that reads “SKARA” on it. This is, in fact, Skara. Or, rather, the purest version of her character, specifically from the show and any related cannon media. And surrounding it are other bubbles, each also labeled “SKARA,” but including the name of some fanfiction or fanart. These are the interpretations of Skara, the different ways people write outside of the writing staff make Skara as a character. The bubbles that are closer to the pure bubble are the ones closest to her show counterpart. The ones farthest out are the ones that stray enough that they feel almost like a completely different character.

Like, the bubbles closest to the main bubble are literally just written exactly like her in the show. No frills or fluff or extra details. What you see with Skara is what you get. And the ones furthest away are AU’s where she’s like, a werewolf queen who sustains herself on the souls of orphaned babies, sees the future in pools of blood, and hates music and sports. In other words, an OC in all but name, connected only at best by name and appearance to the original.

For me, I like to imagine I write Skara somewhere in the middle. I know the version of Skara I write for Tumblr and AO3 isn’t exactly the same as the one in the show. But what differences there are, I try to write expansions to the original character, as opposed to contradictions. I often write headcannons, for instance, that Skara is an excellent cook. There’s no evidence for this in the show, of course, but there’s no evidence against it either. So, technically, one can say that this is a form of Schrödinger’s Skara: she is, and simultaneously is not, a good cook. And until Dana herself comes out to answer if Skara can or cannot cook, or some other cannon material answers that question, I’m freely allowed to believe she is, and choose to believe it. Likewise, there’s not a lot of evidence really that Skara is a chaotic bisexual gremlin with a stupidly big crush on Willow. But again, there’s no evidence to suggest she isn’t. So I’m still able to claim I’m writing Skara, just expanding on her.

But I’ll never say anything, like, ‘Skara is a lesbian who would never ever date a man,’ because that doesn’t pass the smell test. She clearly went on a date with a guy in Grom. So at that point I’m just contradicting the original Skara in a way that feels too OOC to reasonably match with her in the show.

So you’re probably asking, what in the nine circles of Hell does any of this have to do with Skara’s last name?

Simply put, whenever I try to think of a last name for Skara, I can't imagine a new Skara bubble forming at all. Giving her a last name makes me not think of her as Skara.

Names are important to identify a character by, far more so then just if they can cook or not. So if I decided to say, like "I headcannon that Skara's last name is Smith," now I feel less like I'm talking about Skara, the character from TOH, but Skara Smith, my OC that happens to have every defining characteristic of Skara from TOH, but still isn't her at all. Even if I gave Skara a last name, and Dana herself came out to say that the last name I gave her was correct, it would feel like I had separated my Skara too much from the original for her to even have a real hint of her essence. That's why I don't really give her a last name at all in any of my writings.

And yes, I've named characters surrounding Skara: Guitar Strings names her date from Grom as Ves, and I often write that Skara's Palisman is named Daisy. But those are just things that surround Skara, barely characters outside of her. Giving HER a name though... that... that's a bit more of a tall order for me.

HAVING SAID ALL THIS!

Here are a few suggestions I can think of for potential last names Skara might have. Just know, these aren't me saying "These are what I headcannon Skara's last name as," it' me saying "These could make potentially cute last names for Skara."

Brae - If you've ever searched up Skara without specifying 'The Owl House' or 'The Greatest Character Ever,' you've probably heard of Skara Brae. You can read about it from it's Wiki entry here, but essentially it's the incredibly well preserved, neolithic remains of a Scottish village. And more importantly in this case, probably where Skara got her first name. So making her last name Brae would be fitting, though admittedly a bit of a silly and lazy answer.

Bell - A bit of a more musical name, tying in with her status as a Bard, and one I like a bit better then Brae. For one, it ties more directly into Skara's personality, and it's more simple to understand. I also like that it somewhat sounds like Belle, as in the French word for beauty, which would fit her well. Finally, I can't deny that I now want a Christmas themed Skarlow one-shot called "Skara Bells," about Skara looking for the perfect gift for Willow during the holidays (which I've written about before here).

Strist - Not actually a real word, but an intense conjoining of the term "strategist," which is how I could best think to make a name to tie into her time as the Entrails strategist.

Cendre - The easiest of these to explain: It's simply French for 'ash,' like Skara's ashen hair.

Admittedly, I'm not particularly amazed with any of these answers, which is probably another reason I don't have a last name for Skara. But still, I hope you like these suggestions, and if you ever want to use them for a story yourself, I'd love to read it.

(Also, let's be real: We all know in the end it's gonna be Park anyway.)

"what the fuck is up with that?" re: mx. danger's lycanthropy!

OOC

Well

you see

they were bitten by a werewolf

and are now a werewolf

shocking, i know.

more seriously, uh, fun fact! them being a werewolf came before their danger-based name when i was concepting them out. i'll give you three guesses as to why i chose what i did and the first two don't count. i think i'm funny like that.

they are, in many ways, meant to be a parallel and a reflection to the character they are descended from (who will get some screentime eventually!) and the lycanthropy is part of that — a very real potential risk, beast within, to mirror how their ancestor perceived herself. that's a whole separate ramble i could go on — and have. repeatedly.

so their character very much started as 'werewolf' and blossomed out from there into all of their traumas and quirks and neuroses, fed into how they perceive the world and people around them. a mx danger who ends up a werewolf in their timeline is never going to unbecome one because it's extremely central to them — a non-lycanthropic mx danger is subversive merely by that merit alone, becomes fundamentally very different. it's a fun idea to think about sometimes, but only really to think about. you're never (probably) gonna catch me writing long-form stuff about one of those mx dangers, because a lot of them isn't there. and what’s there in place of that could be very interesting, but it’s not what i want to focus on with them.

[au-drayton-shenanigans]

//ooc post A ramble because I was thinking about things. It gets ramble-y but there's a funnies

I would have been working on a drawing I thought of early this morning but I been waiting for something to upload which requires the wifi being on and working while the wifi is on is oddly stressful. Have to zone out while using unity to put guys in vrchat but Whatever. Sooooo I haven't been drawing and I don't feel very social rn but since I'm online anyway and had silly thoughts, it's yapping time!

Been like a year or more since my last rewatch of the ryuusei no rockman (megaman star force) anime, but I recalled an episode where there was a comet or something like that flying over earth and while it was there it had a strange effect on the alien characters where it altered their personality. Real goofy.

I had a thought what if there was something like that that affected the celestials (what cloak guy is. big important deity figures in my silly little ginormous fantasy multiverse basically. the imagined creators of it who originally fled from a different multiverse and wanted to make their own place of bazillions of universes) It would be like some kind of (super)natural phenomenon where for a few days, there's a weird magic wave thing covering their entire multiverse. The source of it would probably originate from outside their multiverse. Somehow slipped in from a crack that the celestials would have to discover and deal with later >:)

But anyways it would cause some funny commotions. And I will be mentioning stuff from other au things that aren't relevant on this blog but I shall try and specify things when I need to.

First up the tale begins in the apocalypse au. Starting off, an au Grusha of mine is a celestial. He's wild and has a vicious nature. Verrrry fond of smashing through walls like the Kool-Aid man instead of using the door. Refuses to behave during meetings with other celestials. I think canon Grusha would be scared of him and Not because he's like 10 or more feet tall. He and apocalypse au Ryuki are :] a Couple. The celestials are technically genderless and every gender at the same time. Nobody is sure what kind of relationship they're in. The au Grusha is mainly referred to as "he" because the celestials collectively agreed it's easier to let the non-celestials use gendered terms. ANYWAYS

The au Grusha goes to visit apocalypse au Ryuki and... uses the door. This is of course concerning to the Ryuki, who is very used to having new holes in the wall every time the Grusha visits. He's fond of the wildness. Very rocking. Or something.

It gets worse when Ryuki makes a comment and Grusha says something like "well that would be impolite" and then he generally starts acting well behaved. Ryuki just gets more and more concerned. But like- the au Grusha who's a celestial has dominion over time so Ryuki would shrug it off as "oh something bad must happen in the future that can be prevented by doing whatever this is".

Onto the Bat household (idk what else to call it). Staying in the apocalypse au for this scenario too. The Kieran from the apocalypse au is a celestial, though he actually got the powers of one due to a series of events too long to go into right now. But he wasn't one originally. Nonetheless, he is affected because he is a celestial.

The Kieran is being very unserious and rambunctious. Bat and Carmine and their 3 children are confused watching Kieran laugh like a lunatic, tearing up the house.

Then Kieran turns into a werewolf because he was having emotions (of fun) that were strong enough to trigger the transformation. Because his werewolf powers are like that. He would roar and say "a werewolf? werewolves are lame!!!"

Carmine says "okay that's it. something is definitely wrong with him. i can't believe i'm saying this, but. Drayton, go bring that idiot bird here" (she's talking about cloak guy. she hateeeees him but can still acknowledge that if anyone could tell what's going on, it would be the leader of the celestials) (ouch. the multiverse's looniest toon is the leader of the big important deity figures. funny)

So Bat would go to the portal they had built in the basement to go to the clubhouse. But before we find out what happens there, I have a few other celestial situations I thought about.

An au Hop who's a celestial. He actually goes by the name Reaper instead of Hop so I'll call him that. He's got two domains: space and chaos. Or three domains if balance is considered. Chaos and balance are more considered one thing. He didn't mean to end up with two but the one who originally had dominion over space was died to death in a tragic moment and Reaper was the next most compatible. Sweet little guy who's silly and childish, yet (visually and actively) takes his responsibilities seriously. Likes baking sweets for people he cares about. And he has two Leons for reasons I won't get into detail on here. One's his real brother, the other is kind of an adopted brother who didn't get along with his actual Hop.

Anyways the affect it has on Reaper is he becomes evil. To the terror of his real brother, and to the amusement-soon-turned-concern of the other Leon. Where did Reaper get a chainsaw from? Oh wait one of his scythes can shapeshift. Looks like that scythe in the style of a chainsaw. Run. Oh no. He's no longer into the fun side of chaos. He's gone to the dark side. Until the mystery thingy is over that is.

Next onto an au Volo, who, like the Kieran, wasn't originally a celestial. But unlike Kieran, the celestial who decided to fuse to a random Volo wasn't malicious and actually helped this au Volo turn his life around for the better. This celestial has dominion over death. And he shares half of the custody of the afterlife dimension place and that's kind of an important role. (Cloak guy has the other half) Anyways this one is a totally strict rule-follower/maker who thinks celestials should not be around non-celestials without a really important reason. Really hates non-celestials and casualness. Though he finally started loosening up a little after deciding to be all buddy-buddy with a certain au Volo, he's still horribly strict and uptight.

It became party-time in the celestial realm and every non-celestial he was acquainted with was invited to join. Not all of them came to that party but it was a crazy few days in the celestial realm regardless.

Next up, an au Gloria. With dominion over dreams. Very cheerful personality, quite silly, thinks every Hop she sees around the multiverse is cute. Now she's chasing after every Bede she sees and is in a constant state of crying angry tears.

Finally, onto Cloak. The eldritch bird horror. Celestial with dominion over life. The one who gathered a group of rebel celestials to flee from the evil celestial of their old multiverse. The ringleader of the circus. Perhaps many circuses if you count all his friend groups as separate circuses. Oldest being around until the evil celestial king ruined it by attempting to steal a Kieran.

So what's the affect on him, I'm sure you, dear readers, are most likely wondering.

Bat arrives to the clubhouse, preparing to ask cloak guy to come figure out what's wrong with Kieran. And observes a sight so shocking that his jaw drops and he stands motionless. Unable to look away.

Cloak guy is doing acts of service and even jogging with notyarD. Voidray of all Draytons is surprised into being concerned and offers Cloak Guy some cheese, which he declines in favor of a turnip. A clean turnip. Fresh. Has not been on the floor nor in the garbage can, or even coated in broken glass. (3 of cloak guy's most favorite seasonings)

This gains gasps from several of the Draytons around. Cloak guy is sharing a pudding cup with notyarD. Then cloak guy has a basket of fresh clean fruit. he says stuff like "eat up! it's healthy" and he goes around passing them out to everyone except for the new vampire guy (Count Draycula) and Bat. Since for Draycula, things like fruit aren't really healthy. And it would actually kill Bat to consume anything aside from blood, raw flesh and bones.

Cloak guy gives Draycula some tea, which he can have. And when he gets to Bat, he gets all close up, cupping his chin in his hands. He says "You look pale, my friend. How long has it been since you had something to drink? I know you don't like hurting people. For their sakes you pretend you aren't thirsty as often as you really are, but here. Don't worry. I regenerate fast" and he kinda forces himself into Bat's arms dramatically and pulls his cloak from his neck to reveal it more.

Bat just drops him and is like "This is uncomfortable. Don't do that." he's so intimidated and freaked out that this is all he can say.

Cloak guy gets up and grabs Bat by the hands and he's like "Pleaseee? If you get a drink now, you're less likely to have to rely on others. Others who have less blood"

Bat is unnerved as flip obviously, but he can see the logic. So he goes for the bite. After this, cloak guy continues doing service. Even Wizard is taking advantage of this. Wizard definitely didn't trust the situation at first and still doesn't but he has decided to enjoy the lack of annoyance while he can. Free room service. Meanwhile Bat is still uncomfortable. In big part because of The Situation. Cloak guy's blood tastes like blood! That's so bizarre. To Bat, each person has some kind of distinct flavor. He's been given blood from someone who tasted like strawberry muffins for example. It's his only way of experiencing the flavors he had before he was cursed, but now if he wants potato chips he must find someone with potato chip flavored blood. Well, even before whatever this is, there have been times when Bat had no other choice and cloak guy's aways had blood-flavored blood to him. Not like it's any different than before. Why would it be anyway?

Bat's just having a crisis over here. Something is wrong with Kieran and cloak guy would presumably be the only shot at figuring out what's wrong. But cloak guy has something wrong with him too and it's not the usual variety of "there's something wrong with that bird".

A few days go by of cloak guy being helpful and polite and... active???? Bro is jogging and doing stuff that one would expect of notyarD. But not of cloak guy. He's never been so long without eating garbage or other hazardous things. What gives??

Bat is pacing around his room thinking of many possibilities when he hears the sound of the portal activating. He goes to check it out and Carmine, Hop, Victor, and Ryuki from his universe are there. That is an unstoppable team by the way. Very few would survive getting on the bad side of those people. Especially when they're together. Yikes. For all their own individual reasons.

Bat nervously asks what they're doing here. He's nervous exclusively about Hop. He has forgotten about the cloak guy situation at the sight of Hop. This is the Hop even cloak guy is scared of.

Anyways Carmine and the other 3 there explain to Bat that they found out what's going on and it's affecting all the celestials. It should go away after the strange magic wave or whatever thingy has left.

This is a relief because that means they won't need cloak guy's help in the first place.. unless Kieran kills someone while under the influence. Then they would need the bird to go retrieve a soul to shove back into a body or more.

The apocalypse au people go home to keep an eye on Kieran.

Soon, that stuff's finally over.

Bat returns to the clubhouse out of curiosity because the other Draytons were not given the message and he wants to see what kind of chaos is brought from cloak guy unexpectedly going back to normal.. cloak guy's version of normal.

Bat still has a mischievous side it just doesn't come out that often.

Annnd no way. Cloak guy is still under the affects of the thing. But it left already. What.....???????

Cloak guy spots Bat and levitates speedily over to him.

Bat is fearing another uncomfortable situation like before. It's weird, the bad kind of weird not the fun and cool kind of weird, to drink blood from another Drayton. And the personal space being violated like that made it worse. Bat is visibly shuddering at the recent memory.

Cloak guy just grins and starts pointing and laughing. Everyone else kinda gives each other "oh no the bird is back" glances. (Apart from those such as Drayka, Abra-Star or a few others, who prefers the insane bird as he is. or those who lack the awareness to understand: Voidray and notyarD. or Beast, who actually cares about cloak guy's wellbeing and has been worried this entire time)

The other celestials all had a "wait, what happened" kind of response to breaking free of the effects. Hardly any memories of the whole ordeals. Or that's what Bat heard. Why is cloak guy laughing so hard? Is it just cloak guy being cloak guy? The dude can and will laugh deeply for no reason on a regular basis. This isn't too out of the ordinary. But something about it can't help but seem suspicious.

Beast asks what's going on and Bat explains what he heard and that it had an effect on all celestials. Not just cloak guy.

Cloak guy stops laughing and is silent for like 5 seconds before he looks around at everyone and admits that it didn't actually affect him he just wanted to make everyone very confused and sometimes uncomfortable for his own amusement. (no idea why he was immune to it)

Master of committing to the bit even ran laps around the clubhouse with notyard.

What a lovely twist ending

[omnipointmuses]

really sad I don’t have a hot werewolf gal’s knot kissing my asshole

[just-more-trolls]

Fuck. I’m thinking about Therus

[curechocolattymilk]

Finally attempting to draw/sketch fullbody works of my ocs lmao

Decided to also rework Otero’s look (Mei is staying the same, but she needs a ref regardless), nothing solid yet but have a super rough idea of Tei’s spawn # 1

Also if you realized i forgot to give his horns the correct color in the Vigilant outfit no you didn't
