Please ramble about the Au I’m so curious

Well, since you asked so nicely~

(This isn't proof read. Forgive the incoherence)

I've just been calling this Traveling Companions Au. So basically, Odile meets Siffrin way before the events of the story, not long after the whole Island thing. So, when they're about eleven-ish and she's in her 30s.

And now Odile has this child on her hands who

Can barely communicate. (Going off the assumption that Siffrin was already taught some Vaugardian when he was young since the countries were so close)

Remembers nothing about where their from.

And seemingly just showed up out of the mist.

At this point, Odile has already begun traveling the world. So even if she was in the mood to take a random child in (which, she very much isn't) she isn't in any position to give them a stable home. So, she leaves them at the first orphanage she finds and that's that, isn't it?

Of course not. Because Siffrin just. Keeps. Finding her, having latched onto her like a duckling to the first thing it sees. And eventually she just kind of caves and stops trying to get rid of them. She understands what it's like to feel like you don't belong anywhere, after all.

She's not their mother, never tries to be their mother. She probably just calls them her ward until their old enough to reasonably be called a travel companion. Obviously she cares about him. She just. Never tells him how much she cares about him. In direct words.

And yes, while cute kid Siffrin stuff is all well and good. What I really wanna explore with this AU is how it affects the main story.

Sif grows up with a drier sense of humor. Though puns are still a thing. Odile will never be free from the puns.

Siffrin probably? Learns about her whole Familytale quest, but never pries into the context until the Friendship quests arc.

Self-esteem issues are still a thing, just in a different flavor.

He's definitely a lot more comfortable with making fun of Odile than he is in canon. Though it goes both ways. They've got over a decades worth of dirt on each other.

And if Odile was perceptive before, imagine how much easier to read Siffrin is going to be now? She's known them for like 2/3s of their life she's definitely going to notice somethings going on in most of their loops.

Mirabelle and Isabeau get two party members for the price of one in this AU! And with the way Odile and Siffrin behave around each other they assume they've been traveling together for a while.

One day, Mirabelle actually thinks to ask how long they've known each other. And when Odile casually replies, "oh... fourteen years? Fifteen?" She and Isabeau are baffled because ??? Siffrin's in his mid-20s????

At one point, Mirabelle or Isabeau mentions that Odile must be like a mother to Siffrin, and the absolutely disconcerted look Siffrin gives them in response is enough to make them never bring it up ever again.

So yeahhhhhh those are my rambles. Maybe I'll write a fic about this. Maybe I'll just release this into the wild and let people do what they want with it. Who knows?

Hello I mcyt fandom-ified la Team du Lundi members and wrote a shit ton of text about it

After exhausting myself on trying to catch up on the current QSMP lore I got a sudden craving for a more familiar and fast paced kind of minecraft content and ended up rewatching all the Team du Lundi's SMP best of's I could find

And while doing so with my brain still hazed in fandom brainrot, I started picking up on minor details or info the players casually dropped, and drew parallels to the French speakers' QSMP counterparts This is going to be a long wordy post I don't even know what I am rambling about and for. Three things you need to be aware of about la Team du Lundi before reading :

Baghera, Antoine and Etoiles are the only QSMP players that are part of la Team du Lundi

As far as I remember the only two elements that suggest that la Team du Lundi's SMP could be canon to QSMP are Antoine being pressured into building another Tower of Shit, and Baghera's infamous fountain being mentioned when she was asked if her character remembers anything from her past before the island

La Team du Lundi's SMP was NOT a roleplaying server, it was just a private survival server for a small circle of friends casually playing together. So whenever I quote someone in this specific post, it is the streamer : there is no character other than the persona the streamer is usually showing on stream, but I just thought it would be fun to interpret certain situations while keeping in mind the QSMP lore. And here goes :

Baghera claims that when she was a kid she strongly believed that she could breathe underwater. The others joke about her having fins

Antoine jokingly tells Baghera he doesn’t need oxygen at all

Antoine claims he will still be alive thousands of years forwards

Antoine’s voice shifts when he wants to appear creepy

Baghera built an aquarium at her place, then helped Antoine build one at his tower, then built a giant swimming pool, then a fountain, then a waterslide- do you see a theme ?

Baghera knows that her skin is actually that of a chick and not a duckling, and calls it so here

Chat said that Baghera has a middle child syndrome, justifying that she bullies Angle Droit because Etoiles bullies her in the first place (Etoiles has also called her « little sister » in a derogatory way)

Etoiles has repeatedly asked people to play Valorant with him at least once

Here's a clip of Etoiles getting languaged in french and owing "a gifted sub in the swear jar"

Unrelated random clip of Etoiles because it creates happy hormones in me brain

Etoiles is regularly refered to as "the warrior"

Etoiles guided the whole group during an expedition to the End and he was literally glowing doing so (enchanted arrows effect) Everyone called him "the guide"

Baghera was the one who gave the final blow to the Enderdragon (and died from magic right after)

Etoiles spent most of his time adventuring in order to bring stuff and gear back to everyone for their builds

Etoiles asked Aypierre for help in order to design a redstone door for his cave which could only open upon solving a puzzle (which was egg & arrow related) (Aypierre was not a member of the server)

Etoiles built a nightclub with the walls and ceiling covered in wardenblocks making it look like a starry sky. He also rehomed Allays holding golden apples inside claiming them to be the souls working for him and that they lived there peacefuly

Etoiles jokingly talks about Antoine acting jealous and violent towards him because Etoiles told him he wanted to go and visit Kameto (who also was not a member of the server)

Baghera (along with Horty) had a rivalry with Joueur du Grenier (host of the server with admin powers) after he decided to build a massive parking lot right next to their house. They countered by covering the whole thing with dirt, followed by JDG building a factory and the two parties went back and forth. Baghera argued that it was stupid because they didnt even have cars to begin with (which is a sentence she reused when talking about Forever's roads) Also she tells JDG that he could've built a seaport instead, which makes JDG contemplate the thought of building an airport (and though he ended up never building it, I am side eyeing the French's plane crash)

At some point JDG wonders about what a roleplaying minecraft server would look like (RPZ 2), to which Baghera replies that she has a hard time picturing the thing "We'd all just build things you see ? I don't think we'd create stories, we would all just be like "I'm a builder, ah you too ? Well awesome, builders, cool"" and I find this to be hilariously ironic (fun fact : Baghera had no idea that QSMP was a roleplaying server when she first joined and often claims she would've taken a different approach with her character had she known right off the gate)

As I was finishing to write this down, these fuckers (/lh) decided to host a closure night for the server as they've never really officially did it, everyone just sort of deserted the server after a while. Baghera, Etoiles and Antoine kept referring to QSMP throughout the night, mostly talking about how weird it felt without mods. Among other meta commentary things

They mentionned Cellbit and Bad multiple times as the group was trying to solve enigmas. Antoine talked about "the cultural sharing" between communities as he taught insults to each others with Mike, Roier and Maximus in their respective languages Multiple more players were namedropped (including eggs) while Antoine was talking about how the server functions

Yes, Baghera and Etoiles kept their QSMP skins. Etoiles with his code corrupted purgatory one, and Baghera with her fading pink disheveled hair (with the addition of her cubito wearing Horty's merch)

Baghera admits that going back to this small familiar vanilla server feels like coming back home to your family during the holidays

Team du Lundi's cameos in QSMP :

Though Pomme has never canonically met JDG (even though most of her parents have talked about him to her at least once), she occasionaly breaks the 4th wall to refer to him. She once compared one of BBH's "vacation" flower shirts with his, and when Foolish and Bad asked her to elaborate (obviously not getting the reference) she proceeded to play JDG's music theme with the flute instead (Also I really feel the need to once more point out how mindblowing it is for your average french speaking viewer to have JDG's intro theme being added to the mod they use in the QSMP because of how anchored it is within french internet pop culture. Like this shit has been existing for 14 fucking years, it's part of the childhood of a lot of us, so to find a clip of British hardcore player Philza peacefuly listening to Mexican egg admin Tallulah play this theme on her flute feels like a multiverse fever dream)

Horty has been on Quesadilla Island through cc!Baghera's account, but neither of them really wanted to justify it RP wise. Baghera just wanted to give her best friend a tour of the island. Horty only got to meet Richarlyson who gave her a tour of Cellbit's castle and made her pick a room (she chose Chaos). She also chatted with Etoiles who tagged along for a bit and (this is obviously justified by it being a one-shot out of roleplay filler episode kind of night) they both already knew each other and were on friendly enough terms to bicker with one another Also she was part of the French speakers Quackity reached out to to invite on the server, but she had to decline because she was very busy at that time (and also not interested) Also also she was Baghera's teammate for that Formula 4 event, and Baghera has discussed it and showed pictures to a couple of islanders, including Richas who was very hyped about it

Another player the viewers were hoping to see on Quackity's server is Mynthos. He exists within the server with the picture of him that hangs in Pomme's art gallery, the cursed animation video that used to play in La France, as well as with Aypierre's health potion factory that bears his name

Angle Droit and Zerator are sometimes namedropped when the French speakers talk with their chat. Angle Droit frequently raids Baghera's and Antoine's streams, and though it has never been confirmed, a lot of viewers theorized that she was the +1 player Baghera and Etoiles wanted to invite on the server had they won the elections.

As for Zera, Etoiles went AFK on QSMP a couple of times in order to test some of Zerator's TrackMania maps (which he later discussed with Pac). I also remember a very trivial conversation Etoiles had with Mouse and Aypierre where he laughed about hurting his back very badly after carrying a fellow streamer during a caritative event, said event was hosted by Zerator (he's also the one judging them with concern from his desk)

I'm done.

Bonus alternative design for Angle Droit because at first I thought she was a fox then it turned out she was a corgi but then she changed it again to a fox and woop

#I wrote down a whole other post just as long as this one to explain my individual thought process behind each designs #Took me weeks to write- had a couple of clips to back up my headcanons #but then I was reading the post again checking for mistakes before realizing #yo just #that is so many words and for what #just let your designs speak for themselves hey trust yourself let there be room for interpretation #if people turn out to be curious well i guess thats what ask box was created for leave it be thats enough #(not) fun fact : I drew those Baghera Etoiles & Antoine designs back in june and the files got corrupted and I lost a week worth of work #if we are mutuals on discord youve mightve heard me whine about this one #mcyt #team du lundi #qsmp #angle droit #hortyunderscore #baghera jones #zerator #etoiles #mynthos #joueur du grenier #antoine daniel #serveur du lundi #my art

"You'll never really get away from the island." It said.

Is this a cycle? Has this all been done before? How many times has this begun? How many times will this restart? Are the previous residents' footsteps that they've been following their own? Is this what Sisyphus felt?

Who's to say a teenage soldier and a teenage tracker didn't meet before? Did they recognize each other sooner then? Was their shared blood spilled that meeting? Was it too soon?

Who's to say a young man from the wasteland, two teenaged thieves, and an engineering prodigy haven't met before? Did the young engineer teach the young thieves all they know now? Would the young wastelander be so willing to spend his time with them? Is it sad that wastelander and thieves got a chance to grow up as they should've while the engineer remains a teenager?

Who's to say a duckling and her brother didn't exchange flowers as a gift before? Were they brother and sister back then, too? Or did they not get a chance to meet before? Is the flower exchange new to this time around?

Did a demon and an immortal laugh before about how they keep meeting? Is this Atlantis? Is it easier to forget the more memories you have? Does déjà vu not have any effect on them?

Have trains rolled into the station, separating two groups who will not stay separated for long before? Has a large cargo ship run aground before? Did a sabotaged airplane fall out of the sky before?

How many more times can this loop go around?

💕🍲Fontaine unlocks his inner Ramsey 🍲💕

Hear me out.

He would be a big fan of Good Eats.

Expect being taken on his tasty adventures. Different parts of The Glen that holds culinary wonders you never knew about.

He was so flustered when you brought matching aprons.

Fontaine would definitely be a glass Tupperware type and you better bring his shit back.

He's being mentored by Ms. Jeanine and takes it very seriously, "Ain't no one got crust like hers. Not yet, at least...."

He's the "stand there and watch the face closely" type, so he'd be the last one standing at dinner. He'll sit when cheeks are full and the sounds of forks scraping is in the air.

Surprisingly, he remembers his his grandmother having him on her hip over looking a pot of fragrant stew. Fontaine isnt sure if it's a dream, but he's been on a mission to recreate it for you.

You buy him any and every dish set he lingers on when you're out. Even if you have to find it thrifted, it's worth the sparkle in his eye when he's trying to decide what meal would look best in it.

It starts when you're sick and you can't keep anything down. He wasn't showing it, but he was starting to panic. How long could you go without eating?

"It'll be okay, I'm like this sometimes" You'd rasp, still smiling after the thunderous dry-heaving you just survived. You only asked for water and crackers if you could stomach them.

He wasn't having it.

The soup he makes is not the greatest but you kept it down and was finally able to get some sleep.

It opened the flood gates. Specifically a lot of internet searches and hours spent on YouTube.

Fontaine takes to sautéing like a duckling to water. He found the measuring more than easy--ounces, quarts and all that. He found recipes online with pictures and names that intrigued him.

Lucky for him your kitchen was a wonderland of gifted, unused utensils and appliances that flourished his new hobby.

It also helped that he had a very enthusiastic taste tester in you. Willing to try anything at least twice and to bring the best batches to share at work.

He begins packing your lunch with hearty sandwiches and chopped fruit. The fragrance of his first ever lasagna was the envy of the lunchroom, you quickly becoming the Queen of Aromas and you made sure to tell Fontaine every compliment tossed around over your lunch.

Fontaine brought you a more than generous amount of pinwheel sandwiches when you worked a double. They were delicious but the fond look on his face as he watched you rant and eat was even better.

The best part was knowing that Fontaine had something waiting for you to try. He often stood at the mouth of the kitchen to escort you in, towel over his shoulder and hands damp from being washed.

Even if he could school his features into being nonchalant, he couldn't hide the eagerness in his shifting or the twitchy fingers--just ready to feed you something.

........

"Don't mind the mess, c'mon and sit with me."

You were still standing at the mouth of the kitchen, taking in the delicious cluster of food cramped into island. Fontaine looked as if flour went nuclear on him and the background was a disaster but he had that near-shy look in his eyes when he really wanted to be excited about something.

The ache in your back left you and the annoyance lingering in your chest disappeared. You couldn't remember the last time someone had a meal waiting for you when you got home.

Your eyes stung but your mouth watered as you neared the island. Fontaine was oddly reserved to you earlier in the day when he called you on break, but now you see what he's been up to!

Your lanyard and purse went sailing into the living room, quickly followed by your shoes. When you rushed back into the kitchen, Fontaine caught you around the waist to steal a few kisses. You indulged until your stomach rumbled, then you squirmed away and neared the spread.

"Fontaine, this all looks so good! What's that?"

He came behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist, "Ever had a Roulade, baby?"

The feel of his lips at your ear made you giggle and cuddle into his hold, "I have not, but how lucky is it that you make me wanna be adventurous."

He pointed and went clockwise, "We got Potato Gratin Stacks as an appetizer, the Nana's Italian Roulade I picked 'cause it has noodles. You like noodles."

Your heart sighed and you could only confirm, "I do like a good noodle."

Fontaine nodded and moved away to the fridge. He carefully brought out a nicely sized flat pan and peeled back the foil. You gasped and hovered as he sat the with the other dishes.

"They were supposed to be smaller," Fontaine scrunched his brows in distasted, "I made 'em bigger. Strawberry Cheese Cake Bars. Wha' the fuck a bite is gonna do? 'Specially for dessert."

"Okay then, I see you Mr. Michelin!

He grinned and grabbed one of the plates waiting off to the side.

Fontaine turned to find you watching him, eyes shining. Wordlessly, he opened his arms and you happily skipped into his embrace.

"What's the matter, baby?"

"I'm good. Just a bit surprised, but very happy."

Fontaine nodded and hesitated a bit before asking, "You think I did too much?"

You kissed him. Touching his face and tasting spice on his tongue, you pulled away to press your nose against his. Fontaine's hands came to your waist, thumbs rubbing soothingly.

"What you did is make me hungry as hell," You pulled away enough to meet his besotted gaze, "Them potato stacks are a good start."

Fontaine pecked your lips once more before he passed you a plate.

..........

ending notes: something small to free up space in the brain, lol! thank you for reading!!! Tell me whatcha think!

taglist: this is an older one that I just wanna reblog, so I removed the tags. I appreciate those who read already and those who are just coming in! 🥰

Things start to get complicated after he accidentally discovers Blue's identity- and, after he realizes Blue doesn't recognize him, a little awkward as well. Along with all of this, a new criminal organization on the rise is pushing the strength of the ninja's bonds, threatening them to fall apart. So uh basically ninjago is gotham now and miraculous ladybug-inspired identity hiding hijinks ensue. (ok hand emoji)

At first Cole startles, and he's just happy his reflexes don't kick in and punch Jay in the face. Jay doesn't even seem to notice Cole's distress. His face is relaxed, head leaning against one arm to get more comfortable. The fond smile shows as much in his eyes as in the quirk of his lips. Like he is looking at a kitten or a fluffy duckling. Not big, rough and sweaty unshaven Cole. "Hey." He says, voice as soft as his gaze. "Hey," Cole responds, his just-woke-up voice as croaky and throaty as a frog with a cold. And he'll blame that sleepiness when he doesn't immediately react to push him off when Jay leans in and kiss him. ----------------------On a mission to a foreign island Jay is bitten by a "love bug" and now he's entirely sure he's in love with Cole for at least a couple of weeks. The whole situation would be a lot easier to deal with if Cole wasn't also already in love with him.

Kai is the Fire Ninja. His elemental power has always worked extremely close with his emotions. His feelings and heart drive who he is as a person and they drive his elemental power as well. He is a walking furnace half the time and sometimes the furnace inside him is provided with too much fuel and he has a hard time getting it all under control, which can often result in him losing his temper or control of his powers. Zane is the Ninja of Ice and a nindroid. He is the most calm and collected of all the ninja and it is a mystery to everyone as to just how his elemental power actually works. His nindroid abilities allow him to see things that others don’t and he uses his powers to help Kai when his own become too much. Or Zane gives Kai hugs to help him cool down.

While fighting in the Slither pits, Kai is approached with a lucrative job offer. Having never been told that Mr. Chen of Noodle House fame was someone that he should distrust, Kai accepts the live-in position on Chen's private island, completely unaware that he is walking into trap designed to twist hearts and minds. What if Chen had been a little more proactive before the Tournament of Elements? He is a cult leader after all, and cults have a way of sucking people in. “The Ice Emperor and the Earth Dragon” by McFaneLy – AO3, completed, 44,531 words, 14/14 chapters, Cole & zane, no happy ending.

“The Ice Emperor and the Earth Dragon” by McFaneLy – AO3, completed, 44,531 words, 14/14 chapters, Cole & zane, no happy ending.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24355681/chapters/58732870

Getting thrown into a far off realm hadn’t been a purposeful decision on Cole’s behalf, but it wasn’t one that he’d change. Following Zane into a desolate wasteland of snow and ice with a broken mech, a corrupting scroll; and nothing else, he’d rather be trapped with his brother than still be at home and wondering about his well-being. Whether he’d lost him all over again. Then a stranger disrupted the fragile routine they’d established, and Cole was still willing to protect his waylaid brother.

“Wax and Wane” by Raven6229 – AO3, on-going, 112,582 words, 11/35 chapters, cole & team.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46619770/chapters/117404779 -

Becoming a ghost wasn't the end. It wasn't some beginning, either. Rather, it was just the next phase of Cole's life. And, sure as the moon in the sky, that comes with ups and downs, forming and fading, waxing and waning. Love and loss. It wouldn't be okay, not all the time. The moon wouldn't always shine. But he'd never have to face the darker days alone. Then, when the moon was full, they could enjoy its light together.

“Sharpen the Scythe, Before He Reaps” by InfiniteOrangeTheThird – AO3, on-going, 21,112 words, 5/8 chapters, cole & team.

Link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/47017648/chapters/118449190

The first time Cole saw himself in the mirror, he almost didn’t recognize his reflection. Green mist where his face was supposed to be, his skin see-through like a dusty window, even his black gi tainted in an otherworldly glow. He looked in the mirror, and a ghost stared back. But in the end, his sacrifice was worth it – they defeated the Preeminent, they exiled the (other) ghosts from Ninjago, and most important of them all, Lloyd was safely back with the team. And with no imminent threat on the horizon, maybe it was time he began his journey to self-acceptance. Being a ghost should come with some benefits, after all. Even if sometimes the cons seem to outweigh the pros.Even if it feels harder and harder to hold onto his humanity with each passing day. Even if the others seem to be forgetting about him a lot more frequently recently. -Or, an incredibly self-indulgent Day of the Departed rewrite because less than an hour of Ghost Cole Angst wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy me. (And because I like to watch my boy suffer.)

“Chips and Salsa” by SibillaScribbleso8 – AO3, completed, 31,823 words, 6/6 chapters, Cole/Zane.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12407508/chapters/28232733

Without any evil to fight and not even a lot of crime to deal with Cole feels a little too idle. This prompts a spontaneous trip to visit with his father, which might be just as quiet if Zane hadn't asked to come along. Now is he not only reminded of a past crush he THOUGHT he forgot about, his father isn't helping in the slightest. Or perhaps, he's helping too much.

During their search for their Master, Cole follows a lead to a mage who could possibly give them information on where to look. However, facing her alone was a mistake, one he's forced to deal with when he ends up with a curse. The clock is ticking as a plant grows in his chest in response to his romantic feelings toward Zane. Cole is desperate to find a solution, one that doesn't involve confessing his feelings or removing them completely. With the help of Pixal and some other friends from his past, they might be able to manage it. Maybe.

“Lost Souls Trilogy” by DietCokeIsLife — AO3, Series, completed, 275,162 words, 3/3 works, ensemble.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3535066

Work One:

Takes place right after Season 5. When Jay accidentally pushes Cole into the water, the ninja are sure their brother is gone forever. After they begin to see signs that Cole may not be as gone as they thought, they will do anything to bring him back, even if it means risking their own well-being, traveling between realms, or calling on the help of a former arch-enemy…

Work Two:

Sequel to Lost Soul! Takes place after Skybound and is loosely based on Day of the Departed! After receiving a distress call, the ninja travel back to the Departed Realm only to find themselves caught up in a civil war that has Morro right in the middle of it. The ninja have to face fears and old enemies, but the stakes are even higher whenever they notice Cole acting strangely...

Work Three:

Triquel to Lost Soul! Things are far from perfect for the ninja as they- and the rest of Ninjago- adjust to having a newly revived Morro on their team. But, when an attack leaves one of them grievously injured, the ninja find themselves forced to travel into the Departed Realm yet again to seek help from the most unlikely of sources- and end up facing the ghosts of their pasts.

“I can’t stay here, Cole. Without her it’s… It’s too hard.” Jay shook his head. “Everyone misses her, sure, but not like I do… She was my Yang! I was going to marry her!” Choking back a sob, his expression crumpled. “I was gonna… I was…” Set after Seabound, Cole finds himself trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered team. In the end, even the Master of Earth and all his super strength can’t hold together the cracks and keep the Ninja from crumbling. (Or, the story about how Jay left the monastery and went to live at the lighthouse. Spoilers for Crystalized.)

Instead of having the ninjas walk the plank, Nadakhan has something worse in mind. When he calls for a special edition of Scrap-N-Tap, it's Cole versus Jay, and for lack of a choice, the two comply. Cole really, really doesn't want to fight. Jay tells a small lie.

Cole's fine. The transition from ghost to human is kinda rough, but it's fine. The only issue is...water. After avoiding it for so long, how is he supposed to go back to the way he used to be? Cole's struggling, even if he doesn't want to admit it…Jay notices.

Cole is floating, his limbs loose and his head weightless. It's a feeling he's gotten used to, recently, of not exactly being corporeal, but this is different. He feels off, hazy, as if he's pushed himself too far in training again, or he's been hit one time too many in the head. (Written for Ninjago Angst Week Day Two

Link: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13429389/1/Sleepsong

There are several immediate problems following the defeat of the Preeminent, one being the complete lack of an engine, and a second being Lloyd's painfully obvious need for three days worth of sleep. Cole's just hoping his new status as a ghost doesn't end up the third of those problems, but he's not much for hoping.

the gang's all here!!

now we're just missing team rocket 👀

inspired by kianamai's redesigns!!

design notes and lil musings under the cut!

Ash takes a lot from Pokespe in terms of his proportions (at least how the early chapters look in my head) and some cues from the newer movie designs bc i LOVE those, especially the one from Power of Us. So ya I also wanted to give him a big poofy jacket bc of i remember seeing an interpretation of Red's original sprite as a big jacket as well and i think it suits Ash a lot. The style was kinda early One Piece inspired at first, so there's just a big of Luffy in Ash's design, but I think it ended up more Digimon Adventure in the end lmaoo. The nose bandaid's to just elevate that rookie protagonist feel a lil bit + I spent way too long figuring out a new hat symbol lmaoo. He's also 11 in this world to match Red's age in RBY.

Pikachu I just wanted to draw him like Red's Pikachu in Special and give him the lighter coloured tummy from early artwork.

Misty's the biggest departure obvs but I knew I wanted to give her a crop hoodie and take inspo from Kiana Khansmith's Misty and give her the wetsuit as an undersuit. Then the chunky shoes were carried over from Ash with big scrumpled socks bc I thought it made her look a lil more unkempt. The whole goal was the make her more scrappy looking and focus in on the whole "Tomyboyish Mermaid" thing from the games. Also combined her RBY hair with her GSC do by making it a half-up ponytail that I think is very cute. OH and her shoes are Cerulean Gym branded, bc I imagine in this world there's merch for each Gym that the leader wear, so the wet suit and hoodie would be branded too. The hoodie's just cropped above the logo and the wet suit's logo's covered by clothes. She's about 12, so a lil older than Ash and does not let him forget it.

For Psyduck, I wanted to make him a lil fluffier and ugly-duckling + incorporate the three lil sprout hairs he's got a lil more to suit the style. He also has a neck now, you just can't see it super well here. He's just a fluffy lil duck who hurt a lot. Poor lil guy :((

Brock was pretty straight forward, I kinda wanted to reference his Sygna Suit from Masters with pants and a tank top, but made the pants into cargo pants that can be unzipped into shorts (he's thinks its the coolest thing in the world. He wears hiking boots to go over rougher terrain as a Rock-type Leader and hunt for fossils bc I like that aspect of his game characterization so I carried it over here, and he wears an armband with Pewter Gym branding. His tiny lil facial hairs are all he can grow at the moment bc he's still like 15 as usual, but he thinks it makes him look ~Older, Maturer & More Sophisticated~ so refuses to shave it.

I wanted to incorporate a lil more Geode Dude into Geodude so I changed his colours a bit and added parts where the outer layers of the rock have kinda chipped away in battles to reveal the crystal underneath + added the eyebrows from Alolan Geodude. I imagine it's like, the more outer layer gets chipped away from a Geodude, the closer they get to evolution. I do not at all know what this world's Graveller or Golem would look like but I think I'd canonise the theory of Machoke and Graveller taking aspects of the other when traded and make them kinda like Karrablast and Shelmet in a way.

Broad plot strokes are just these guys would exist in a version of the indigo league w an expanded kanto dex to include all related mons + variants, so stuff like Electivire and Annihilape and Alolan Exeggcutor would exist in there without much fanfare of ~Woahhhh Newly Discovered Pokemon~. Regional variants would be found on the Sevii Islands. Maybe there'd be small type changes too idk. Like pure Rock Geodude that gain Ground on evolution bc Gravel-ler. idk who knows I'm just spitballin. Essentially just a lil more closely following the Game's story, I guess. Less wacky loose adaptation stuff from Indigo League. Not bc I don't like that stuff, just bc it's not what I'd do.

I figure like, there'd be an interlude short arc that takes place in the Sevii Islands just after the Vermillion Gym where Ash would catch a Galarian Farfetch'd and all forms of Paldean Tauros instead of like, 100 Kantonian Tauros, and be introduced to Legendary Pokemon through a quest to track down the Galarian Legendary birds (then find out others can be found back in Kanto). Naturally he'd use the PC system (maybe adapted as some kind of daycare or something, or maybe just a teleporter to Oak's lab like the main anime) and have a couple more than 6 team members to rotate out as needed. Also. Mega Evolution would be a factor bc I think it'd be cool, so Ash gets to Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard Y.

OH also just for funsies, I'd split the starters across the trio, so Ash gets Charmander, Misty gets Squirtle and Brock gets Bulbasaur.

Basically Ash would end up with more or less the same team from the original series, but with added Annihilape, Sirfetch'd, Paldean Tauros and Mega Charizard Y. I also think I'd add Dragonite from Journeys and make his Gengar the Haunter he befriended that would follow him in secret after helping him beat Sabrina and evolve in the Cinnabar Mansion + officially join his team there.

Squirtle would evolve into Wartortle with Misty and Bulbasaur would stay in the same stage with Brock like Ash's.

I'll come up with and probably draw everyone's main teams at some point later but. ya. that's my piece!

#pokemon #pokeani #ash ketchum #pokemon anime #misty #brock #pikachu #psyduck #geodude #i say we're just missing tr but i'll probably also do gary and prof oak and delia and stuff hehe #my art

"GET BACK HERE!" Eddie yelled at little (name) ran butt naked around the house, Steve making dinner and Dustin doing homework "No bath!" (Name) yelled as he ran towards the kitchen area, dodging Dustin but sadly forgot about dad "nonono!" (Name) cried out as Steve held him by his armpits "come on smelly, you need a bath" Steve said handing him off to Eddie "slippery little bugger " Eddie teased as he walked back to the bathroom to go clean the duckling up "every time" Dustin mumbled as he went back to his laptop to finish up his homework "you were no different, once you got so angry you passed out from holding your breath"

"Really?"

"Yeah, still had a bath though"

"No papa! No bath!" (Name) said angrily as Eddie plopped him in the warm tub, (scent) bubble bath already in and bubbly along with his bath toys "oh hush, you and I know when it gets time to leave the water you're not gonna wanna get out"

(Name) pouted and huffed as his dad began washing him gently, taking breaks to let the boy play with his toys and currently (name) was obsessed with a plastic water bottle.

They didn't ask why, as long as he was entertained.

While he played Eddie started working on his hair, taking the proper love and care the toddlers hair type needed abd making sure no soap got into his eyes.

"Alright bud, time to rinse"

(Name) let his dad tilt his little head back and use the plastic cup they kept with (name)s bath supplies to rinse it out.

"Alright, ten minutes of bath time then it's out"

"Ok papa" (name) said noncommittally as he continued playing with his toys, pretending the bubbles are islands for his toys.

When the time came for (name) to get out he predictably whined but Eddie payed the boy no mind as he dried him off then put lotion on him, it was (scent/scentless) just the way (name) liked.

Putting him in his little pajamas and anything else the boy needed the two went out to go have dinner with their family.

hi! I’ve just found this blog! I’m getting back to one piece after a long time and was wondering if I could please ask for an Izou, Ace and Marco HC’s?

So you know how Luffy idolised shanks a the red hair pirates as a kid? How about the mentioned three with a little girl who’s maybe the daughter/granddaughter of the bar owner and sees them quite often (maybe the island belongs to whiteboard) and is always excitedly following them around when they visit. How about her saying she’ll become a big brave pirate and wants to marry them once she’s old enough? Like a little girl crush maybe?

If you’re not comfortable with the crush then her being a big fan of them is fine! Thank you!

This is so cute! Just this adorable little girl with her little girl crush like kids do sometimes (I know I had one). As a note, just because she has a childish crush, does not mean that this is romantic in any way nor do I condone such things!

Warnings: slight Wano spoilers, little girl crushes

Word Count: 690

Every time you saw their ship on the horizon, you couldn’t help but become giddy. He was coming, he was almost here, you’d get to see him again! Your ‘first crush’ as everyone called him. You were insistent that you were going to marry him though! You weren’t just a stupid kid! You were going to be one of the biggest, bravest pirates out there. You were going to become so great that Whitebeard would have no choice but to change his ‘only guys’ rule and allow you to be on his crew! Then once you were on his ship you were going to marry your love! Until then, you’d greet them at the docks, running towards their ship as fast as your little 10-year-old legs would allow.

Izou

100% thinks of you as a kid sister.

He thinks you’re the most adorable little girl ever.

Just so sweet and cute.

If he were the kind of person who ruffles hair, he’d totally ruffle your hair.

Instead he dresses you up in nice kimonos.

You’d wanted to dress like him so you’d tried wrapping a bed sheet around yourself.

He’d chuckled and helped you out, saying that next time he’d bring you a real kimono.

Said you looked like a little doll once you were dressed up and in make-up.

When you’re not around, he asks if there’s any little boys interested in you.

Partially to protect you and partially so you become interested in somebody your own age (seriously, he’s 43 pre Marineford!)

Still encourages you to follow your dreams, whether that’s becoming a pirate or simply protecting those you love.

Tells you all sorts of stories about Wano, his sister, Oden, and the other samurai.

Also tells you a lot of Wano fairytales.

Has taught you how to shoot.

Seriously, he cares about you, you’re like family to him.

Marco

Tries, repeatedly, to tell you you’re too young for marriage (and too young for him, cough cough) or to be thinking about marriage.

Lots of head pats.

Indulges you and lets you play nurse.

You do actually help him when they dock.

You help him with organizing things, restocking, and ‘bandaid duty’.

You literally just hand out bandaids to people who ‘need’ them.

Being the adorable little girl who follows him around, he’s noticed a lot more people needing bandaids while they’re at your island.

Has let you curl up for a nap while he was in phoenix form.

Niece-uncle vibes.

Always sighs in exasperation when you say you’re going to marry him no matter what.

He doesn’t want to crush you, but he doesn’t want to indulge that either.

Tells you that being a pirate is hard work and tries to encourage other things while not crushing your dream to become a pirate.

He wouldn’t mind if you became a pirate, but for safety reasons, he’d rather you take over your mother’s bar.

Because of his phoenix form, people call you his ‘duckling’.

Ace

Omg, ALL the big brother vibes!

Calls you his little sister, ruffles your hair, just so much big brother shit!

It makes you pout. He’s treating you like a kid!

You’re his future wife, how dare he treat you like a child!

You claiming to be a big, brave pirate reminds him of Luffy.

He absolutely encourages it and says that you’ll totally be accepted onto Whitebeard's crew

Knows you likely won’t

Plays pirates with you so long as you don’t pretend he’s your ‘pirate husband’.

Defends his decision to play with you by saying that he doesn’t want to crush your dreams

Which is kind of true, but he also loves being a big brother to you.

Is the least strange of the three to say you want to marry him. (he’s 20, not 40)

Still doesn’t want to indulge the idea of getting married though.

For so many reasons.

Tells you so many stories about Luffy.

Calls Luffy your ‘other big brother’.

Treats you kind of like how he treated Tama.

Teaches you all sorts of things like tying knots, navigation, etc. things you’ll need to become a pirate.

The Hero of the Tides, as he had introduced himself, was the eldest of all the Ganons. Hailing from the flooded timeline, he was what was expected of a grandad- kind, cosy and wise, he was the easiest one to grow comfortable with out of all the others and soon enough you were following after the giant man like a duckling would follow its mother.

Tide didn't seem to mind though, in fact, he encouraged it, keeping in pace with your smaller strides and making comfortable small talk with you as you all travelled. The towering man didn't pry for information about you, no, he went off about his own quaint little island back in his timeline, about his village friends, his own family (he adopted those who needed the help after the flood and further on became titled as a grandfather, great grandfather and more after that- he was old after all) and so much more after that.

You felt…safe with him.

Something you hadn't felt in a long time and it felt good, to be able to relax at night without being fearful of what may get you as you slept.

It's why you were here now, sitting beside a stream near the camp and watching Tide carefully as he fished- a more traditional compared to how the boys liked to do, the man was slightly crouched with hands at the ready, focused on the ripples of the channel in concentrated silence. You were hypnotised by his focus, practically frozen on your little rock at the mere sight, the man had already caught 10 fish in the span of five minutes, more than enough for dinner and now he was just showing off. Nothing you could blame him for though, if you were this great you wouldn't let such a thing as dinnertime get in the way of your skills.

His fingers twitched before he pounced, hands slamming into the water then pulling out a large fish, tossing it to the basket on shore with a precision accumulated from the ages.

Dinner was gonna be good.

"My child!" Eyes snapped up at the elder, watching as he smiled something kind and beckoned you over. "Come, catch some more fish with me!"

You blinked, looking over the almost overflowing basket, then at him, eyeing the cold water. "No thank you."

"But why?"

"We've got lots of fish for dinner, Tide."

His grin was childish. "There's no such thing as enough fish, dear child."

Ah yes, this man certainly was a grandfather.

"Well, I don't know how to fish without a rod."

The last time you had fished it had been with the others, Twilight was keeping your grip steady and instructing you on what to do as the others did their own thing, Wild eventually stripping to his boxers to catch your shared dinner with a knife.

A pleasant memory, something you missed.

"I will teach you!"

Tide splashed a bit as he made his way over, robes drenched by the stream and dripping with fresh water as he climbed out and hobbled over to you, your shriek playful as you tried to leap away, Fi abandoned by your rock as you tried to get away. Not far of course, you almost forgot, accompanied by long legs were long arms and the man only needed to reach over to nab you from your stony throne, pleas for freedom falling from your lips as he trod back over to the river, laughing jovially at your displeasure.

The old man didn’t throw you in, as you had expected, he kept you on his shoulder, and waited patiently for you to move on your own like the frightened kitty you were. Slowly, painfully slow, did you test the waters, dipping a toe in and yelping at the frigid temps, glaring at his stupid grandfather grin as he still stood, calm and composed as you moved your body down from his towering shoulders into the currents below, the water reaching your waist opposed to his knees.

Stronger than you had expected, you almost stumbled when he arms reached out to catch you, bringing your smaller body to lean against his and leaning down with his arms stretched out similar to his earlier position- you mirrored him as best you could.

“Perfect, already an expert.”

You bumped his chest. “Quit with the praise and show me how you do it, grandad.”

“Ah, my child, you wound me.” He chuckled, bumping you gently back to focus on the ripples on the water. “Focus now, fish are slippery things.”

You of course weren’t going to be an expert after one lesson, but it didn’t stop you from catching one fish, a small one, albeit, feisty and the cheer you had released when finally you had caught the dastardly thing and tossed it into the basket was a great one, the older hero looking upon you with a pride a father would his child.

The Hero of the Tides was a good man.

And you thanked whatever entity above that you had him in this time of solitude.

@tilin-forever here, finally had enough time off to catch up on reblogging my tumblr likes <3 Just wanted to say that I really love the way you draw quackitini, particularly in the trick or treat art! they’re just a little guy <3

I was just wondering: if the mini mes were present in the purgatory event, what do you think they would be doing? Would they actually be helpful or more of a hinderance? What would they have been doing during the recent pvp event?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this, or optional (only if you have time!) a doodle of quackitini in purgatory (idk how that would work, since it’s elquackity in purgatory, maybe quackitini is actually chilling with quackity in whatever hole he is in quesadilla island haha)

Thank you for your wonderful art/au’s, it really cheers me up during the seasonal depression month <3

i feel like the mini-me’s just would not survive purgatory, unfortunately ToT maybe they could help gather items, or do a tiny amount of damage during pvp events? but they’re just so easy to kill, i really doubt they’d survive long

i do think it would be really funny to see elquackity dealing with quackitini, though. i feel like elq would hate having his Nefarious Schemes interrupted by now having to take care of this tiny little thing, but no matter how much he tries to shake quackitini off, the little guy just follows him around like a duckling. cos where else is quackitini supposed to go :(

here, tiny doodle!! sorry it took me so long, like you said, it’s a tough month, but i really appreciate all your kind words! it means a lot to me, thank you so much

#qsmp #i feel like quackitini gets tinier every time i draw him

I wanna be just like you!

Character: Kazuha x Sister! Reader Female pronouns Genre: Fluff/comfort Request: Hii! I don't really see any platonic content so I was wondering if you could write about Kazuha having a little teen sister that wants to be like him?? :D A/N: You have the same hair color as him and a pyro vision. this is also really short, my brain can't think anymore

Kazuha didn't want you involved with the situation at hand, the plan to leave and keep your safe set inside his mind. His sister, on the other hand, didn't like this.

You showed up on Watatsumi Island, worried out of your mind and slightly panicking because there were three enemy soldiers on your heel.

That was when you got your vision.

Proud, worried, and angry, Kazuha didn't know what to feel at that moment. But the thought to keep you safe was and is on the top of the list.

On board the Alcor, you have your responsibilities as while as Kazuha. You work together on them as while as on your own.

To the crew, it's like watching a duckling with its mother.

Evenings are training time.

Tomo had been helping Kazuha in his sister's training, but now it was left to him. But with the difference of visions, what he had you doing wasn't working for you.

Accidentally setting something on fire is a given. Beidou really helps Kazuha out when it comes to his sister's vision.

Head pats and likes to mess up your hair on purpose

Trying to make haiku's like him but not being too good at it. He'll tease you about it, but in the end, will help you come up with better words.

Knowing you have a brother that you can go to for anything, even feminine problems

You're not allowed to touch alcohol, but Kazuha is the person who gives you your first taste.

Constant teasing, outsiders would think he can't take anything seriously when it comes to you when it's the opposite.

It's okay though because you do tease him about being friends with the traveler.

Kazuha is prepared to do whatever to make sure you live a long and happy life, whether he's in it or not. He lost Tomo, he is not going to lose you.

violets

February is the smallest month and often the least favorite of some people. In the Northern hemisphere it balances the line between the grey winter months and the raucous spring ones that will follow. But being a little month caught between louder ones does not mean February isn't hiding its own sparkles of magic with a holiday dedicated to emotion and an extra day up its sleeve every four years. So its only fitting that one of the birth flowers for this month is the indomitable violet.

How long has the violet's magic been around? Well - we could ask Sappho, the ancient Greek poet whos work was so well-known and admired that she was sometimes called 'the tenth Muse'. She mentions her lover wearing wreaths of violets and in a different poem a crown of them. Sappho's poems often speak of her romantic love for other women and so the violet often does too. In 1926, one of the first modern plays to depict the love between two lesbians, La Prisonnière, used a bouquet of violets to signal their relationship.

Most violets are edible and so they were (and still are) added to an array of foods and drinks. Modern France is known for its violet syrup. Eating this flower goes back to antiquity in fact. Ancient Persians thought violets were calming and could sooth away headaches. The Greeks, and therefor the Romans, believed violets were good for fertility and made love potions with them. In fact, Athens was known as the 'City of Violets' for its abundance of them.

The idea of violets and love carried over too. The very same Saint Valentine, who happens to have a holiday named for him in this month, is said to have ground up violet petals in order to make the ink he wrote his letters with.

In medieval European art, the violet is often shown in paintings with the Virgin Mary. Because it grows close to the ground with a lowered flower head despite its royal color, it represents modesty and humility.

In Victorian times, the purple violet represented modesty, faithfulness and fortune. Folklore said wearing violets in your hair could help you combat inebriation. Carrying violets could ward off evil spirits too (perhaps because sickness was still thought to be caused by evil smells and many violets are very fragrant). Make sure you carry a lot of violets when you do carry them however. Another English superstition said that carrying less than a full handful of the flowers in to the house lead to bad luck and a single violet would be the death of all the ducklings and chicks on the farm! If violets bloomed in the autumn, whoever owned the land they bloomed on would experience a death in the family (there are flowers in the violet family that do this often however so fear no harm on this account).

These days the sweet violet is the symbol for consistency in the UK. In Australia and New Zealand, violets were sold on 'Violet Day' (the date of which varied from year to year) to help raise money to commemorate the dead soldiers from World War I. The violet is the state flower of New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin and Rhode Island. The humble little flower is also being tested for medicinal uses in modern medicine.

So you see, like February and February babies, this little flower packs quite a punch.

theory (not a really important one): when handing the suitcase to the duck mask person, Cucurucho proposed two options :

• his, the cookies, feeding eggs for their 'happiness', a sweet way of maintaining control over the Islanders, aka what we had in 2023 with bear faces workers

• the gold, meaning economy, real estate system, we don't know yet how it'll all work and make the Islanders want to stay, it's too early to get everything going with it

Questions:

Are the bunnies also part of the federation or not at all? I think they don't, but they still are linked to Duckling

About that, is Duckling the same person as duck mask person ?

i'm afraid that by choosing gold, duck mask person also handed over to someone else/an other group the management of the Islanders, and we won't see Cucurucho and their team for a long time [edit: nvm Cucurucho's here]

not that I liked them, but I guess I found it interesting and I don't want their lore to be replaced with

and I'm also wondering if we'll see Walter Bob, Fred, Ron, Agent 18 and so on soon

I've been writing for eleven days straight, yipee!! Anyway, here's three girls and three means of escape:

The blue bird knows she's lucky. She knows that they treat her like something precious. Maybe it's because she's a 'success'. In what? She'll never understand. She likes it when she meets the people who are new. The ones whose mask just slip a little and laugh at her jokes and little games. She reads and writes and is allowed to wander white halls all by herself! Sometimes, they ask her if she wants anything, and she always has the same answer. She wants to go outside. She wants to see the sun and feel the wind. They always have the same answer, no. The books she reads always talk about how nice the sun is. The blue bird always wanted to be free, even if her cage was nice to her.

It was impluse really, not exactly a plan. The blue bird had noticed how there weren't many of them around. She ran down pristine white hallways until she got to the end. A door. A portal to another world. The sun is warm, just like her books said. It is bright and warm, the words on pages didn't lie to her. The wind smelt like salt and felt amazing against her feathers. There was so much to see and feel. This was better. In her race with the world, the blue bird found a train station with a train! She remembers reading about how people would go from one place to another on a train. With the speed of running and her little wings flapping behind her, she just managed to just stand on the back of the train, leaving the station. The wind in her wings, the sun on her skin, the world felt nice.

The duckling had already left the white walls a long time ago. She hid behind trees and under the earth. She made books out of scrap and twine to document her experience. For her sake more than anyone else. The duckling did her exploring in early dawn or dusky evening. She never called out to them, even if whatever traces they left on her very being demanded it. Her soft yellow feathers, only just past being down, were starting to grow in again. She explored. She learned. She planned for an escape. It's what she did best, teetering on the edge of success and failure.

This plan was set into motion. A plane tended to land on the flattest peice of land on the island (they're on an island, she discovered). This land was out in the open, but the plane landed land in the evening and left at dawn. It was a cycle, for supplies the duckling guessed. She just had to wait a little longer. For everyone to move away from the plane, her escape, for just long enough so she could run on board. She would fly, but her wings are still sparse. She wishes she could fly, like the plane, like her escape. She was never taught. Maybe she could learn once she was gone, away from here. Now! Here's her chance! She dashed across the open field, yellow hidden among the similarly colored flowers. The pilots must have not heard her as she made her way on board without much grace. She ducks herself behind a seat, holding one of her books of scrap and twine. The duckling will finally be able to fly.

The cat was born feral and not made for fake perfection. She was born with flesh in her mouth and a scent of fear clinging to her. She's tried to hide all that behind redemption and a tree house. It's a past she can't really remember. She has everything she could need here. The cat wasn't made for being still. Frenzied eyes and the scent of iron cling to her memory. The rest of his face remains hidden in her mind. She'll die here. The shadow that sometimes hides in her periphery and laughs at her doesn't help things. It does the exact opposite, actually. She's going to die. She needs to leave.

The cat overhears a conversation while hiding in the tree she calls home. There will be a boat, leaving this island. That's her ticket out of here. It hurts her softened heart to leave her animal companion. She leaves notes, documentation of her existence, hoping to be remembered and found. The cat hopes that whoever finds her notes, her evidence that she even existed, takes good care of her orange furred companion. The boat is docked, beached more like, awkwardly as boxes and people are moved on and off it. The cat is grateful for her shift movements as she bolts up the ramp onto the ship. She doesn't think anyone saw her. If they did, they're not making much of a fuss. Her hiding spot ends up being against a wall behind a large shipping container.

Jaiden inspects her look in the mirror. When did her hair become brown? She thought it was blue. Maybe it's just her imagination or those strange dreams she's been having lately. Her mom calls her down for dinner. They're going to the park after. Jaiden runs down the stairs as fast as her little legs can take her.

Baghera wakes up, and her wings hurt. Her papa says it's just her real feathers growing in, but her wings are sparce. Maybe it's how she's sleeping. She's never slept well. She always has nightmares. Now's not the time to think about it. She has to pack for the airport; they're going on vacation.

Bagi cleans her apartment, and she's suddenly overcome with the sense that she misplaced something. Did she forget something of hers the last time she left the apartment? When was that again? Maybe she's just getting a sense of deja vu from her dreams again. She continues cleaning, wondering why she can't get this red stain off her carpet.
