paint your face like you're the mona lisa, chapter 4
aka, steddyhands art thief au
Stede's crew approached the gallery after sundown. Well, first they skirted around a large lorry parked in the alley–"Do you mind?" Stede exclaimed in annoyance. "We're trying to do a robbery, here! Can't exactly make a daring getaway with this big van sitting right in the way!" "I got it, boss," said Wee John, walking confidently up to the driver's side door. "'Do a robbery?'" Pete said. "I'm pretty sure it's 'make a robbery.'" "Is it?" Frenchie's voice crackled in over the coms, from where he was set up across the street with his computer system ready to hack into the art gallery's security system. "Fabricate a robbery?" "It's 'commit,'" said Lucius, "as in, could you talk a little louder about the crime we're committing?"

So what cha working on? And can we get a couple of sentences as a preview?
Miraculous Art Thief Au !!! Here is a tiny snipet >:) I think I just passed 30k with what I got done tonight
“You did a wonderful job.” Adrien admitted, gesturing to the room.
Marinette smiled. “Do you really like it?”
Adrien took a look around the room again, at the pictures of progression of his age in the modeling industry. The clothes he’s worn. Articles laid out to read under glass.
“It’s... odd. To see it all together. The finality of it. To see that many pictures of myself in an art gallery. I swear the eyes follow me.” He let out an awkward laugh. “But the layout, the design. The way it’s been put together. It’s really beautiful. You have true talent.”
Marinette’s smile brightened further as she looked away bashfully. “I’m glad you do. I wanted it to be a tribute to the work you’ve done. If you see, these articles are all focused on the charity or independent work you’ve done.”
She walked over to one of the display cases in the middle of the room, gesturing to the magazines and papers laid beneath. She stood proudly.
Adrien’s heart swelled gently. He hadn’t bothered to stop and read; too desperate to remove himself from the crowd of people watching him. He moved over to the case, standing beside Marinette. Not touching, but a small lean and they would.
He stared down at the articles, glancing over the titles and skimming a few lines here and there. Only glowing praise. Only things that were his doing.
“I didn’t know there was anything here that wasn’t completely about my father.” Adrien’s voice was soft. He clasped his hands behind his back to lean over the glass slightly. “This was his tribute, after all.”

Okay, so for obvious reasons I've seen a lot of modern ofmd au's go for the restaurant au thing, and i love it, but what I'm thinking about (heavily inspired by my love of Leverage) is an art thief au
Stede, the well-off son of a wealthy business owner, has just realized that he is very gay, actually, and so he leaves his ruler-straight Old Money life and fucks off to become a Gentleman Thief. He’s read a bunch of stories about cat burglars and has a whole scrapbook of newspaper clippings covering the Gardiner Museum Heist, the Pink Panthers, and, of course, the famous thief Blackbeard, and he definitely wants to fuck him be just like him.
He hires the crew:
Jim is a trained assassin who prefers knives to guns.
Olu used to be a fence for gems and jewelry at Jackie's polyam thief bar, and now he's just trying to keep Jim alive despite their chronic tendency to hand him all their brain cells and go “yolo."
Lucius is a former pickpocket turned artist/forger.
Pete claims to have been on the famous thief Blackbeard’s crew and may have actually been a low-level goon hired for a few jobs.
Frenchie is a hacker who used to work on the other side (whilst being constantly microagressioned by the snobby military/CEO types/etc) and therefore knows all the ins. He also creates edm music and is active on conspiracy theory boards and is afraid of cats because he believes that they are aliens in disguise studying humanity.
John’s mother does costuming for a theater and he’s consequently very good at makeup and disguises.
Roach went to culinary school and also went through EMT training before turning to crime.
The Swede stole something really valuable from his home country (an orange-shaped gem-encrusted statue known as “The Swedish Faberge Egg”), but due to a lot of bumbling, he was nearly caught like ten times between stealing it and fleeing the country. He gained a reputation because most thieves only heard about the high-profile robbery and not the bumbling, so he is considered something of a legend, known only as “The Swede.” (Stede hires him fully believing the hype.)
And Buttons is a seasoned thief who seems to be able to summon seagulls at will and still longs to make sweet love to the sea and also is known for biting people in fights, which is how he’s escaped law enforcement for so long (he will neither confirm nor deny the rumor that he’s some kind of selkie). He’s also good with safes and locks.
Ed is a famously skilled and ruthless thief who is known for pulling off a huge variety of different jobs. Robbed a casino, stolen art from the Louvre, hit seven banks at once, auctioned off secret government research--you name it, he’s done it. (The truth is, he gets bored.) Just the rumor that he’s planning a heist causes museums to pull all of their displays. His methods tend towards the quick, violent, and brutally effective, and he's tired and disillusioned with them, but he feels stuck maintaining the Blackbeard persona for fear of rivals or law enforcement catching up with him. When he hears that Stede is trying to be a real life Gentleman Thief, like in the movies, he is intrigued.
Izzy, meanwhile, is the actual perpetrator of much of the violence that Blackbeard is credited with. Together, Izzy and Ed are the backbone of the Blackbeard legend: Edward comes up with the brilliant, daring, creative plans, and Izzy carries them out with deadly efficiency. They’ve also been on-again off-again romantic partners/fuckbuddies for years. They live in each other’s pockets, and know each other inside and out, and are able, when pressed, to work together seamlessly. They also make each other miserable a lot of the time, and enable each other’s worst tendencies, and Izzy is hanging all of his identity and self-worth off a job that Ed doesn’t even like anymore.
Ed swoops in and saves Stede from a disastrous robbery, during which all of Ed's crew get arrested besides Izzy, Fang, and Ivan. He decides to stick around and teach Stede how to be a real thief (and maybe kill him to steal his identity. Or maybe fuck him. He hasn’t decided yet).
Izzy is certain that Stede is going to get them all killed.
Also, Mary started painting in earnest after Stede left, but she hasn't heard anything from him, and he hasn't kept up with her at all, so they're both very surprised to meet again at a gallery where Mary is showing some of her work and which Stede is attempting to rob.

Hey Everyone meet My Stupid Au The Gentleman Theif Damian or The Parade of the Forgotten. Still can't really pick a name for it.
Plot
So After a new Crisis Event, Damian sacrifices his past, present, and future. Basically erasing himself from time itself.
The problem was that Damian's Revival was a fix point in time, creating a sort of loophole. He had to come back to life and that was what happened.
He wakes up in Gotham Harbor, alone and without any memories except his name.
He lives in the streets of Gotham for a while, Steals from gangs and minions to survive. But after he enters a Circus carriage to pet a tiger he falls asleep with the animal and when he wakes up he already is in another City.
This begins his not-so-legal road trip around the USA, and he starts his thievery to escalate. That ended at the age of 14.
He was caught by Superman when he was breaking into a museum in the middle of the night.
So he is sent to Juvie for one year, then put with the McGinnis, his new foster family, and sent to Metropolis High.
Here he meets Jon Kent. The first time that he and Jon lock eyes Damian's memories of the Him come back to him but the problem it's they are corrupted and full of holes.
He starts to make a uniform and prepare some of his gadgets.
A 3-day Field trip to Gotham, the opportunity opens for Damian to sneak into the Batcave.
But the Bat-family has to have a distraction while he has to sneak into the cave.
So he will need to put on a show, let's see how much they like the Gentleman Theif Rufous.

Did you saw @azulnadiasstuff @zaikobt and @chubbky posts about your post?
Hi nadia and co. Youre prob gonna see this since you were tagged in the ask so let me be clear.
We are completely fine with moving on if you:
Publically apologize to groov for accusing them of tracing their own art.
Take down any and all videos featuring the traced accesories
Remove the accesories from the mod.
I did and honestly its so fuckimg disheartening to see people acting like this. Not only ignoring our points but lying aswell!
Groovs already proved the fact that he drew the accesories first with them posting the original art 2 Nov 2022 and the mod concept video being published 19 Jan 2023. So ill go over zaikobts arguments (translated into english)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"this wea could have been avoided with a private dialogue."
There was private dialouge. Many times. (Alicehopes is an old acc nadia used)(deliciousobjectcreator is an alt acc nadia uses to talk to groovy after groovy blocked them (youd think theyd stop triyng to talk to groovs after promising they wouldnt do that and also being blocked) Groov has many times told Nadia to take down the video, everytime Nadia refuses.
That and every unwarranted "apology" is chock full of self victimizing language wether nadie intended to or not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Nadia is an ADOLESCENT/MINOR/GIRL human being who understands with words like any human being, Nadia is always open to passive dialogue"
WE ARE ALSO MINORS! THAT IS NOT A FUCKING EXCUSE.
Also, the items toootaly werent traced from groovy :) and were 100% inspired by the game /s
