[not-totally-blind]

Some Anakin Skywalker AU's that occurred to me (I should be sleeping but my anxiety won't let me)

Harry Potter AU

He would be a Hufflepuff, yet would be found by Qui Gon.

It would probably be quite a problem earning points for the house thanks to good deeds and outstanding participation in certain subjects, but losing a part of those points for not being able to put the problems aside

Shadowhunters AU

I think he would be a nephilim/demon hybrid like Tessa, but the dominance would be towards his angel blood side (at least at the beginning)

Sidious would be a demon or warlock that teaches him more about the other part of himself that the Jedi (in this case Shadowhunters) do not leave him due to the intolerance they have towards the underworld

Percy Jackson AU

Son of Hephaestus (or Legacy of Hephaestus son of another god) who was predicted to come in a Great Prophecy

Perhaps, like Luke Castellan, he would be tempted by an older force (Sidious, who would actually be a Titan or something like that) only to be saved by Luke in the end, thus fulfilling two different profeciss (The Chosen One who announced the arrival of Anakin and another that talked about his salvation starring Luke)

Teen Wolf AU

He would be a Chimera like Mason, he thought he was a born werewolf until the Dread Doctors (the Sith) started appearing to him and experimenting on him a bit.

There is also the possibility that he could be a Kitsune/Nogitsune like Kira/Void Stiles

Marvel AU

An Omega level mutant with power similar to that of Jean Gray in Dark Phoenix. Although of course he has a somewhat higher level of control over himself

DC AU

I think it would be a son of either Time or Night, the point is that it is a half brother of the Endless and has a slight control over them. More like getting them away from himself (avoiding the deeds in the book of Destiny, avoiding the gift of Death) or bringing their half brothers a little closer to certain humans (bringing Destruction and Despair to the Jedi or leading some people to be more driven by Desire)

That if, again, he can't prevent Death from sharing his gift with someone (such as avoiding Padme's death) or avoiding the fate of other people (the betrayal of Barris Offee that would end up driving away Ahsoka. Or the creation and enslavement of the clones)

YOU LIKE ZELDA TOO???? i love you.

!! Oh, my guy, you have no idea. Just like I've got an AU for Anakin turned into a Kitsune, I've previously had a multi-chap fic of Link being turned into a dragon before the Calamity hits and a series where he gets a sheikah tech prosthetic because he got his arm blown off by a guardian.

You could say BotW consumed my life for a good few years before I got into Star Wars orz

[tennessoui]

I’m here to pepper your inbox with some ideas! Hope this can cheer you up?

1: Either Anakin or Obi-Wan has kitsune heritage and the other one sometimes take a nap on their really fluffy tails. The mass of nine tails is basically a bed.

2: Established Obikin are dance instructors responsible for different lessons. Half their students sign up to ogle them and immediately backed out after the first class, because those two are serious about teaching this.

3: Percy Jackson AU. Just a Hephaestus kid Anakin trying to impress Athena child Obi-Wan.

4: A pair of Obikin has to bump around the multiverse like a pair of really exasperated ping-pong ball, having to save at least five pairs of other Obikins in a week.

oh bless thank you so much i love all these so so so so much let's see.

idk im getting massive reverse master/padawan vibes from this, because anakin as a master to young obi-wan would want to provide for him every way possible, up to being a literal bed for him to rest on. bonus points for careful grooming and feral hissing at anyone trying to disturb them. nice knowing you to the person who comes in and accidentally wakes obi-wan up.

oooo i've never thought of them as dance instructors before, but i do love it. bonus points if they're constantly using each other for their partners, even if the other does not know the first thing about the dance they're pulled into. it's just an excuse to press together. when obi-wan uses someone else to demonstrate a specific section of legwork, anakin gets very stroppy about it (practically hangs a bedsheet that says 'welcome home cheater' outside their shared apartment)

this is perfect greek god parentage in my mind tbh. anakin builds so many cool trinkets and obi-wan is secretly impressed with them all but in his mind even love deserves a battle strategy so he doesn't want to give ground and admit how nice he finds anakin's inventions. but he loves and keeps them all and offers notes and new ideas in return and anakin is even more in love

oh!! i think i've written something about this before, but it was a random ask and nothing more. i love it. only obikin can save obikin from obikin. moron4moron4moron4moron.

Is anakin a kitsune too in the kitsune au? I can't get the image of a fennec fox eared 9 year old anakin out of my mind?

Obi-Wan growled low in his throat. How could his Master compare him and his kin to Anakin Skywalker? Granted, his ears looked a lot like Obi-Wan’s and so did his tail, but upon closer inspection, Qui-Gon should be able to see that Anakin’s ears were larger than Obi-Wan’s had been in this age and the blonde’s tail was more bushy too.“Padawan!” the long haired male was scandalized. Usually his student only used that growl for enemies.“Anakin is NOT of my kind, he is a fennec, I am a fox. There is a great difference. He does not grow nine tails, he is not capable of it and sure you must see the different aura.”It was true that fox demons and fennec demons were related, hence the shared name ‘kitsune’, but they were not alike. A fennec might ignore the comparison, but to a fox, it was an insult.As if reading his thoughts, Qui-Gon reached out and drew the partly transformed boy into a bear hug. “Forgive me, dear one, I didn’t mean to insult you.”Obi-Wan took a deep breath, held it for a few seconds and then released it again. He felt how most of the tension drew away and he closed his eyes, while allowing the taller male to cuddle him. He liked to be cuddled, even though he would never admit it. Then again, Qui-Gon most likely knew, which is probably why one of his large hands was gently rubbing right behind Obi-Wan’s left fox ear.A purr escaped the Padawan and he was only dimly aware of a certain blond boy entering the room. Anakin’s surprise was evident in the way he froze upon seeing them - or rather upon spotting Obi-Wan - and in his Force presence too.Reluctantly Obi-Wan pulled back from his father in all but blood, in order to look at the young boy, whose eyes were wide in wonder and solemnly directed at the young fox demon.After a moment of silence,  Anakin opened his mouth, “You are just like me, wizard!” Had he jumped in the air, the picture of pure joy, would have been perfect.Obi-Wan bit the insight of his cheek, hard enough that it hurt, but not hard enough to draw blood, and stepped out of his teacher’s reach. Qui-Gon would use underhanded techniques, like stroking his ear, to get him to comply. It wouldn’t be the first time.“No,” Obi-Wan began in a serious voice, “You are like me, but we are not the same.”“I know that, not even two humans are completely the same. It’s not possible,” the young boy laughed. Obi-Wan wondered if he was truly this stupid or if he just preferred ignorance.The older kitsune huffed in irritation, but before he could say anything else, Qui-Gon stepped literally between them.“Ani, how about you go into the cockpit, I am sure the pilot will show you a few things.”“Yippie,” the blonde exclaimed and turned to ran, undoubtedly to the poor pilot.Obi-Wan gave his Master an unimpressed stare, with one of his eyebrows raised and arms crossed over his chest. Meanwhile Qui-Gon was sporting a large mischievous grin and not for the first time, the Padawan could picture the long haired man as one of his kind. He was not a kitsune though and he would most likely never be.Obi-Wan had to turn away suddenly. Were his eight tails visible, they would have been lowered in sadness. He did not know where the unwanted feelings had come from, but he would need to deal with them as soon as possible.“Padawan?” the bearded male had approached him.“I need to meditate,” he waited until Qui-Gon gave him a nod, before he retreated back to the quarters of the ship, hoping to find at least SOME peace in the Force.

Kitsune after Obi-Wan and Cody both get injured being reckless maniacs for the 5th time in the past two weeks: I’ve reached the conclusion that either all human males are idiots who want to die, or I just have incredibly bad luck.

Nebula: Nah, I think they’re all just stupid. My entire battalion is a bunch of morons. I love them, but they’re morons.

Ahsoka: Yeah, human males are just dumb as hell.

Let’s Talk About Pokemon - Gen 8 Retrospective

This Generational recap itself might be a bit on the shorter side, since I already said my peace on the games themselves and their less than stellar impact on the fandom before I even started them. (Not that there isn’t a lot I’m talking about here today though, hoo boy.) Though just know between a repeat playthrough and my opinion on the Pokemon dropping as I've analyzed them more, I'd say my final verdict is that they're a decent enough swan song to the way Pokemon games used to be that made Gym battles feel special again but lacked in a lot of other areas. 6/10 overall.

Though obviously Gen 8 isn't done yet. Since DLC is on the way, as I've said several times already. My general thoughts on the concept of Pokemon DLC replacing the traditional “Third Version” is good. For one thing I'd much rather pay $30 for access to new content immediately over paying another $60 for a “Pokemon Armor” version that had most of its new content back-loaded in the postgame. $30 is still steep... but it's better. And of course, the prospect of releasing more new Pokemon via DLC is a good one too. Hopefully releasing DLC rather than a full game every year will relinquish some of the workload off Gamefreak... so perhaps we can get smaller batches of new Pokemon released mid-generation to help mitigate just how many Pokemon felt like they didn't get finished in time. But also hopefully it'll mean Gen 9 will be all the better when we get there... Gamefreak has stated they're really challenging themselves with the next major Pokemon games so hopefully they're taking the more level-headed criticism to heart and it's not all talk but we'll have to see.

Yeah, that's about all I have to say about the state of Pokemon as of right now, neverminding my multiple rants and tangents since I've already gone to great lengths to state that Gen 8 isn't as good as I might've initially thought. I still like it overall, and it's probably still not my least favorite Gen... but it's very much like Gen 4 with an EXTREMELY mixed bag. Certainly felt like for every excellently designed Pokemon they had below-average flunky that feels like it should've gone back to the drawing board once or twice. But even all that aside, one of my more annoying sticking points with Gen 8 is the severe lack of new animals.

So in place of my usual ramblings on my thoughts on a generation as a whole, let's do a little Compare and Contrast. Let's look at the past few Generations and see just how noticeable this flood of species redo's is. Green checks are significantly new enough animals, Red crosses are for animal origins that have been done before, Yellow slashes for Pokemon with vague or heavily mixed taxonomic origins, and Grey circles for Pokemon that are disqualified for being Objectmon, since we've yet to get repeats of those. (Also disqualifying Gen 8's regional evos other than Obstagoon since it's not necessarily their fault that they're repeats.)

Are there arbitration in places? Probably. But I feel like the point still stands that Gen 8 was waaaaay too reliant on touching up on animals already covered in Pokemon before. Especially when there's still so many animals that have yet to get a Pokemon to their name. The one plus Gen 8 does have in this regard is that it has a few more “taxonomically vague” Pokemon than usual. But repeating animals in and of itself isn't all that bad, if you make the repeat different enough to be interesting in its own right. The one thing you could do wrong in that regard is to just make your monster notably more “normal” compared to the Pokemon it's repeating. So how does that hold up?

As much as I've established that one's a crow and the other's a raven, the two animals are still very much similar creatures. But I do feel like Murkrow and Corviknight are differentiated enough while both still being a “fantasy” creature in their own way. Murkrow is very much a gangly, cartoony crow while Corviknight covers the more majestic side of corvids.

Another one that's pretty blatant is that we now have two regions with a Ladybird as the common bug. Orbeetle does however get to be more accurate to the Ladybird life cycle, starting out with a larvae and ending with the beetle. Again, Ledian and Orbeetle are very different flavors of the same creature, Orbeetle not skimping out on any outlandish elements. In fact, it's more visibly outlandish than Ledian was.

This is where things start to get hazy. I've stated that Nickit and Thievul are sadly my least favorite fox Pokemon to date, simply because it has the least to offer imaginatively than all the other foxes that accompany it. Ninetales has the kitsune thing going on, while its Alolan variant covers Arctic Foxes. Zorua is a fantastical take on the tricky nature of foxes by combining aspects of shapeshifting kitsunes or tanookies while throwing in a bit of Kabuki. And Fennekin grows up to be more of a wizard. Thievul is very much a stereotypical red fox while having the trickster nature of foxes that's not only been done by Zorua before, but also in a much more stereotypical thieving way like a Swiper the Fox sort of thing.

Wooloo always struck me as odd ever since it turned out it wasn't the region's common Normal-type. I can excuse plainness in the common woodland animal since they're rather uniformly not terribly interesting (and arguably are like that by design). So it turns out it's more of a common early-game fodder just like Mareep is, but Mareep is just a smidge more interesting by being elemental, and also it turns into Ampharos, a weird little bipedal lamb with little flippers for some reason. Which is reasonably more imaginative than a Pokemon that's mostly just a sheep.

Sandaconda is another one that feels significantly fantastical and unique compared to its previous serpentine cousins. The only snake Pokemon beforehand that was hugely different from the template of what a snake usually is was Snivy. Sandaconda is even unique as far as cobra monsters go, with its “hood” being a big ol' sac that it keeps its projectile Anakin-repelent in.

Centiskorch is a little iffy. It's cool that they turned a real centipede's grappling maneuver and turned it into an even more effective weapon via its heat spots. But in terms of body shape it's significantly more normal looking for a centipede than Scolipede's almost horse-like proportions, isn't it?

Another iffy comparison since they're both fairly “regular” looking Octopus monsters. But even so, I'd count it as a point against Gen 8 since there's been more than plenty of time to come up with a cool and unique body type for an octopus.

That's better! Eiscue, while normal-looking if you only count the penguin body, is still a funny and imaginative take on a penguin monster that is a completely different flavor from Empoleon's stern look to boot.

Another dodgy one to justify. There's neat theming in there, but there's hardly any denying that an elephant that rolls up into a wheel and rolls around is notably a much weirder take on an elephant that Copperajah going by an elephant's body shape to a T.

Had they gone for a look more purposefully weirdly geometric like they SEEM to be going for, I probably would've given it a hand-wave, but even with that in mind, Copperajah is pretty vanilla in terms of Elephant monsters. Especially compared to Donphan.

...So even then, it's pretty mixed in that regard. Some Pokemon feel like worthwhile additions to the biodiversity, but others I can't help but wonder what the point was. Did Wooloo really need to exist in a series that already had Mareep? Couldn't they push Copperajah's concept further to better contrast with Donphan? Having repeats isn’t BAD, pretty sure every Gen past the 2nd has done them. But it’s hard to find sticking points on Gen 6 and 7′s repeats. Aurorus is totally different from Meganium. Vikavolt, while being much more close to realism in body structure compared to Pinsir, is still a vastly different fantasy creature just on account of having a gun for a face. And the whole Goomy line is almost nothing like Magcargo. And all that is WHILE still bringing in plenty of new animals to play with.

So yeah, I hope all that can help with understanding why I was a little harsh on Gen 8. It's still not my least favorite, cause we still got a ton of good out of it, and I would much rather have a mixed Gen of “Some Really Good, Some Not So Great” over Gen 2 and 4's “Some are good but the rest are really plain and boring.” But of course, as per usual, we gotta do the lists...

Top 10 Favorites of Gen 8:

Like I said, the new Pokemon that are good are REALLY good. Still struggled to make a Top 10, for good reason!

Top 10 Favorites Overall:

That said, there wasn’t a ton of impact on my Top 10. Top 50 maybe, but not here.

Bottom 10 Least Favorites of Gen 8:

Sadly there was plenty I was just plain not a fan of. Has there ever been a Gen where I just straight up dislike the whole Bottom 10? Hmm...

Bottom 10 Least Favorites Overall:

And tragically, this Gen did make a pretty deep cut into my least favorites, oof. It is an unholy image to not see Gallade be all the way to the left up there.

The Cutest:

The Coolest:

The Prettiest:

Corviknight and Eternatus aren’t just there because I ran out of traditionally pretty ones, just so you know. There’s something about a sleek, nearly all-black design that is genuinely gorgeous-looking to me.

The Spookiest:

Most Creative:

Weirdest/Most Unique:

Most Forgettable:

Most Personality:

At least there were still plenty of personality-driven designs! Look at all these adorable little charmers and smug little shits.

Most Under-Appreciated:

Best Regional Variants:

I’ve probably said it already but I am legitimately ecstatic with Regional Variation being a mainstay feature now. There is INFINITE potential with the concept and totally didn’t deserve to get ditched after a single use just in Alola. In fact I think it’d be rad if they do any more remakes they retroactively made “Sinnohan” or “Hoenn” forms of Pokemon. I thought they might’ve made some “Kantonian” forms for Pokemon in Let’s Go and redesigned a few modern Pokemon to look a bit like they were designed back in the 90s... but sadly that didn’t happen. Despite how cool it would’ve been. But Kanto is sacred ground that cannot ever be changed, I guess...

Best Ultra Beasts: (????????????????)

h

Best G-Maxes:

I still love the concept of G-Maxes, and we’ll probably get a few more before Gen 8 is done entirely. But it does stink that the concept in the end felt a little half-baked. Speaking of which...

Pokemon That SHOULD'VE Gotten G-Maxes:

Because G-Maxes wound up being locked to only be for Gen 1 or 8 Pokemon, with only a handful of exceptions. MAYBE they’ll stretch into other Gens in the DLC, but until then lemme just make a personal wishlist of SQUANDERED potential. Though I’ll limit myself to Pokemon that are only in the current Galardex as to not be here all day.

I’m sure if you pay attention to the Fakemon scene at all, you’ve already seen a few G-Max Dhelmises where the seaweed has grown so massive that it’s now able to possess an entire haunted ship. And they are CORRECT to make such a thing because GOD what were they thinking NOT doing that?!? It’s right there under your noses!!!

Still bummed there was never a Mega Vanilluxe... but this could easily make up for it! A towering snowing mountain of ice cream is a super cool idea for a kaiju-size ice cream monster, maybe even ditching the icicle shaped cone in favor of having it rest in a “bowl” of ice!

Like??? Hello????? Are you telling me you’re making Kaijumon over here and you’re NOT gonna make a giant mecha?????????????????

Because a giant living beehive deploying swarms upon swarms of Combee is a badass concept just by itself.

Like c’mon this one was REALLY staring you in the face. A region set in Poke-England and you’re not gonna make a funny giant Zeppelin?

Just trying to imagine a colossal haunted chandelier is giving me chills by itself. Especially if you were to make it look elaborately regal and all that.

I’ve not got a specific idea, you’d just think they’d compensate for the lack of a Mega form.

G-Max Rillaboom has me feeling like this one’s likely to not happen, since I imagined a cool idea for a G-Max Trevenant was to make it a giant Deku-Tree looking haunted tree with a colossal trunk and even bigger canopy.

I guess Butterfree already had the spot taken for “Mothra stand-in”, but I feel like Frosmoth has just as much cool potential for a G-Max form as Butterfree did. Especially with the powdery snow scales it has.

Perfect opportunity to give Goodra a giant, more monstrous slug-like form. But no dice there either. Maybe next form gimmick...

Okay, C’MON. We KNOW they weren’t that bothered about giving G-Max forms out to Pokemon that already had Megas. This is the most obvious one of all! ESPECIALLY since its defacto-Mecha Godzilla got a G-Max but it didn’t.

Most “Unfinished” Feeling:

Since “least favorite” doesn't necessarily meant “unfinished.” (As much as I dislike Toxel, it doesn't really strike me as “not done.”) Not that I have clairvoyance on Gamefreak's internal workings, but some of these Pokemon definitely feel like they're not up to scratch with the series's usual quality standard.

My Disappointment is Immeasurable and My Day is Ruined:

To pick on Gen 8 one last time... and since it was a running gag anyway, here's the Pokemon that just crush my dreams the most. Except Appletun, mostly. It's good enough to be let off the hook. The rest? They were things that were on my wishlist of things and animals I would've LOVED to see get turned into Pokemon, only for my hopes and dreams to sink faster than the Titanic. Considering a majority of concepts within Pokemon don't come back, if not for a very long time, these Pokemon mean that I have to reluctantly strike a cake monster, a snowman, a coal monster, a train monster, a sea urchin, a pie monster, and some fresh Lapras attention off my wishlist. Sigh.

With two rounds of DLC coming, the main Pokemon review series probably won't be back until the tail end of this year shortly after Crowned Tundra is released. I am excited to get to talk about some of what they've shown so far, but I'd rather wait until the content is released and we know everything about the new Pokemon and Regionals. There will however be at least one more little bonus article about Gen 8 and the future of the series, but I wouldn't expect it to be out for a while. Before the DLC is out probably, but still a long ways off.

So I got tagged to do this a few weeks ago by Kat (@obaewankenope) and I’m only just now getting around to it. Talking about 5 fics I’ve worked on, why not? :D

1. A Fic I’m Proud Of

I know it’s the one of mine that people are least likely to be interested in, but I’m really proud of The Only Good Sith, aka my plotty palpabinks story. I felt like I managed to get a progression in there, showing Palpatine’s character arc and how even the good motivations can get corrupted over time. Also I don’t write as many longer fics, let alone get them to the point of being complete and published, so I’m proud that I got this story done from start to end containing everything I wanted it to!

2. A Fic I’m Excited About

I’m really excited about the fic I’m currently trying to write, which is a BNHA (yeah, I know, not one of my usuals but I’m really enjoying it!) If you see me post about the Endadvor AU, this is the one I mean. I don’t want to give too many spoilers away though!

I’ve also put in some work on Death, Yet The Force’s sequel recently, so hopefully that will come out at some point! And stop being an unfulfilled promise whoops

3. A Fic That Was Challenging

Most of the fic that was really challenging and fought me are in my WIP files to be honest, no matter how long they are. And also probably most of my works-in-progress (kitsune catastrophes aside, that was more a casualty of my thesis). This is my hobby, not my job; if I’m not feeling it for whatever reason, I can choose to set it aside and come back to it. 

Probably the most challenging that I posted was the one Obikin Star Wars one, Flashes of Blue. I figured out that I don’t really enjoy the pairing because of the teacher/student dynamic, but it was originally for a big bang so I changed that history that was squicking me and wrote it anyway, a bby!knight Anakin meets senior knight!Obi-Wan for a rewrite of AoTC/general mission fic. Probably not my best decision, but this was a while ago and I know better than to do it now. The writing is far from my best, and I got so much push back for trying to write a nonbinary Anakin that with such a hostile reader base it was even more challenging to get excited for it. It was the only one of my fics I’ve ever had to moderate comments for, and I’m not proud of that. It’s also the one of my fics I’ve seriously considered taking down on my new account, because I don’t want to take down a fic that might bring joy to even a single person, fic can be important, but it also feels like nothing good has come from it.

4. A Fic That Was Something I Hadn’t Tried Before

Most of my fics are new in some way, but the first one I thought of here was my first real attempt at a long crossover work, A Key To The Heavens (A Sword To The Neck), my Bleach-SAO crossover. I prefer to write canon-universe fic and I don’t really do much in the way of crossovers. This one stalled out a bit and is currently being edited so that I can do better pacing and fit in the plot I’ve planned for later, not surprising since it was one of my first attempts at a longfic, but I’m still proud of making the attempt. Sometimes you stumble the first time you run. Since then I’ve written Seek Death and Live, a Bleach-Hunger Games crossover, which I think went more smoothly.

5. One I Just Want To Share

Child’s Play! It was the first good time travel (well, time loop, but semantics) fic I ever wrote, and it originally was a writing exercise that got out of hand. I really enjoyed writing it, and I always enjoy reading it! A little bit of the writer is working out her own issues here, and it’s not exactly happy (time loop focuses on Kurosaki Masaki’s death day) but I think it’s quality.  

I’d do a +1 because if there’s 5 with no +1 is it really a fic meme?

Munday Meme - Multimuse

Anonymous sent:  🐜🔜🔟

🐜: Which of your muses is the most clever/intelligent/educated one?

[I’d say it’s Yomiel. He is a HUGE nerd, after all and to be a Systems Engineer, I’m sure he’d studied a lot, especially since he even states in the game he’s one of the best in the industry and was even called for that super important government project. But that doesn’t mean my other muses are not intelligent in their own way. Sissel is very smart too and Anakin is a prodigy, but I think Yomiel wins in terms of nerdiness.]

🔜: Are there any muses you want to add, but aren’t sure about?

[Not at the moment. I’m pretty content with the muses I have for now and too many blogs are tiresome (I already have too many blogs in my humble opinion and I’ve seen people with way more blogs than I have!) But sometimes I have this thought. I once thought about trying out young/rookie Mia Fey or even Maya and some Detroit: Become Human muses, but they are a huge maybe. I also thought about rping more animal characters, like Cynder from the Spyro games, but animal muses are quite difficult to find interactions here on tumblr since most muses are human.]

🔟: How many active muses do you have in total?

[Ok, let me count:

1. crossed--fates (Yomiel and Sissel) 2. detectivelynne (Lynne) 3. jediskyvvalker (Anakin) 4. unaamuses (Iris, Dahlia and Maggey Byrde) [not so active but decided to count them anyway] 5. dhawthxrne (Dahlia Hawthorne - Isola only) 6. kuriousfoxy (Kitsune OC) I guess those are the active ones. I also have cat!Sissel over at sissel--thephantomcat but he’s on Hiatus so I won’t count him]
