No wait I want all the backstories in every AU pls

Well if you INSIST

School AU:

This is basically a kdrama

Misty's parents die in an accident caused by the Sage corporation, she gets a full ride scholarship to the country's best high school so she doesn't go to the media (so she's orphaned at 16 instead of as a child)

Ends up in a love triangle between the heir of the Sage group and "King" of the school, Nadir, and the son of the Sage group's biggest rival, Atlas, who has just returned from ✨abroad✨ after some scandal no one will talk about

Selene is initially a bystander when her classmates bully Misty but eventually she stands up for her and uses her own reputation to protect her new friend

The only kdrama in history where she ends up with the second lead

Was nadir inspired by Gu Jun Pyo? We may never know

Historical AU:

Setting: a nation on the verge of a revolution

Misty goes to the castle to become a maid in hopes of making a better life for herself, ends up befriending the sheltered princess and helping her understand how bad things are for the kingdom

Things get complication when the revolution infiltrates the palace in the form of the formerly exiled (Im gonna say Duke? Hell if I know how royalty works) Atlas

Nadir probably gets guillotined, sorry kit

Idol AU:

This was the song stuck in my head when I was doing their outfits

Misty and Selene debut together in a group that's named after butterflies somehow because I have a brand™

Atlas and Nadir were in the same group but Atlas got kicked out (probably because of Nadir)

Misty eventually steps away from the spotlight and produces for Selene

Selene just. Becomes berry IU because that's what she deserves.

Vanilla AU:

It's just the same. Genuinely it's just the same. They might have different names?

You can take the girl out of the pink but you can't take the pink out of the girl

Cyberpunk AU:

This one would need the most worldbuilding but I imagine it's the same berry world just a few hundred years in the future

Selene's family is extremely rich and influential, so she lives completely sheltered and ignorant of what the world is really like- until one day she accidentally sees her brother's files and realizes she isn't really Selene Elysian

The real girl died young because of a genetic disease, and she's a highly advanced robot created to replace the real daughter so no one ever knows.

She has an identity crisis, runs away, and is taken in by Misty who at this point is making a living off salvaging valuable materials from discarded tech

Misty teaches Selene about the outside world, and together they realize that Selene can do a lot more than any other robot on the market, meaning her family is hiding some kind of dangerous and advanced technology

I'm not good at making pets in the sims but you get the Vibes

Selene is the fluffiest possible cat

Misty is a King Charles Cavalier because my friends have a cute KCC named Nell and she's one of my favourite creatures

I genuinely had more ideas for this edit but I had to stop myself lmao, I could spend forever dressing up my girls and giving them happy endings

#asks #laby extra #technically #thank u for taking the very obvious bait sam ily #if i ever say oh but ill spare you the essay in the tags it means i have the essay ready and i want someone to ask lmfaoooo #when i have more time ill probably make more edits for these aus bc why not #both want to finish this legacy and want to just pull a lacelot and make a million aus of just these two #yeah altas and misty are cute but we all know who i really cared about

Could you talk about the “Long Live The Queen (Long Live the Monster)” wip?

[From this post of current WIPs, if anyone's curious :)]

Ahhh my Merlin fic! This is an Ygraine lives fic except she also goes batshit over magic! And a bit insane...so...

I have a lot planned out, because it starts from around the time that Uther and Ygraine met, but here's the basics:

Camelot had been in an era of civil war. Uther's father died without declaring an heir between his eldest (twin) sons and so they've been fighting. During this time, magic practise has been getting more and more difficult as people start using them as a scale goat for the civil war and then as a scape goat for anything that goes wrong, as often happens with persecuted groups throughout history.

Uther, who was younger than his brothers, won the civil war with the assistance and wisdom of the dragon lord's (and after one of both his brothers were killed). This was because the dragons had foreseen that his son would bring about the kingdom of Albion and free the people of magic from their current torment.

Having taken the throne, Uther invites all the noble houses of Camelot and the surrounding kingdoms to his coronation. Among those who come is Ygraine, representing the du Bois house for her elder brother Tristan (as Agravaine is not yet old enough and Tristan needs to stay in their lands as tensions are still too high) bringing with her her handmaid Bronwyn - who learned hedgewitch magic from her parents - and Tristan's trusted second-in-command, Captain Bedivere, who is probably having an affair with his wife.

They're attacked on the road but rescued by a young sorceress who says her name is Nimueh and that she too is travelling to Camelot for the coronation. She's the youngest of the nine priestesses and has been sent as a spy, of sorts, to see whether this man truly seems to be the sort of person to raise the king who will bring about Albion's return.

They arrive at Camelot together and go to the coronation; Ygraine and Uther meet when they are both wandering the castle at night (Ygraine because the attack on the road has rattled her and Uther because his new responsibility ways heavily on him) and they continue to make ways to see each other in between festivities before Uther asks her to stay on at the castle after the celebrations are finished.

Also on the castle: Balinor is the one who really helped Uther win the war as the main communication between the dragons and the crown, and so he is here to continue representing them and to continue to keep a firm eye on him (and Uther keeps him about because he Doesn't Trust Him).

Gorlois is the captain of the knights at this point, as one of the few people on the planet that Uther truly trusts.

Also, Gaius and Alice - they're both apprenticed to the current physician, Niamh, who is a very old woman who would have what we would call the beginnings of dementia - are there; as well as Cador, Uther's manservant and friend from throughout the war, who is an actual alcoholic and not a pretend one like Merlin.

Nimueh stays at the castle as well, both to keep an eye on the king like Balinor is doing and because she is genuinely very fond (read: probably falling in deep, unrequited love) of Ygraine. She gets the position of Court Sorcerer in Uther's court which makes her a permanent figure in the court life.

He and Ygraine are engaged to be married - and very happy about it - and during their engagement period, Uther puts out a declaration that all those practising magic must register their names and places of living; this does not help tensions as the magic people are furious because this new king was meant to start making things better and now he won't let them legally practise without registering.

Still, life goes on. Balinor spends a lot of time with Gaius and Alice because he hates court life and this is the closest he gets to a real escape; Bronwyn gets married to Cador and he cleans up his act as they start a family; Gaius and Alice are engaged to be married but are waiting until they both finish their training.

Vivienne, one of Nimueh's two blood sisters, comes to visit quite regularly and ends up married to Gorlois probably for political reasons. She then starts living in the court as well.

Ygraine and Uther are soon trying for a child but having little success; both Gaius and Alice do all the research they can but nothing works. Because of this, the king gets angry and more aggressive in his work, and there is a clear bias in his rulings against the magical people.

Vivienne and Gorlois return to Gorlois' castle during this time as Vivienne gets pregnant and wants the peace that Gorlois' own place would give him. (also because she's REALLY worried that the whole affair with Uther will be very real when her baby is born - thankfully, Morgana looks just like her)

Much like the general populace is doing, Uther's blaming magic for his personal problems. Because of this, he turns to Nimueh and asks for her help in conceiving magically.

She does her magic, against her fellow priestesses wishes, because she knows how much Ygraine wants to be a mother and she would do literally anything for her; but she doesn't tell her because she doesn't want to hurt her with the fact that she can't conceive naturally or smth.

Ygraine survives the birth! Yay!

Uther gets assassinated! Shouldn't have been oppressing people, Love.

Ygraine is distraught. She's always been a supporter of magic, mostly due to being friends with people like Bronwyn and Nimueh, but the wound inflicted on Uther was magic in nature.

This begins the purge. Ygraine is queen until Arthur is old enough to take the throne (although what that age is keeps getting older) and she uses this power for EVIL.

No but really - she never makes magic illegal but if you are found practising unregistered magic, you'll be executed, if you are registered to practise magic, your chances of being executed just shot through the roof, if you ever had someone who practised magic in your family ever, you are now a suspect in her husband's murder.

(even though, in reality, it was a one person job without a scheme at all)

Nimueh and Bronwyn, and Alice and Gaius, are protected because they are Ygraine's friends, trusted to within an inch of their lives. But there are others in the castle who are not so lucky.

Balinor is her first, chief suspect - she knows that he and Uther only grudgingly got on, and suspects that he and the dragon lords were in on it. She gets them all killed, imprisons Kilgarrah but Balinor escapes with Gaius' help. Nimueh convinces Ygraine not to go after him, saying that he would be completely gone now and won't return again.

Balinor and Hunith are married, have Merlin and then have a little girl called Ganieda about ten years later - she's just a little younger than Mordred.

The priestesses are targeted next because Ygraine thinks they are jealous that Nimueh chose her. Nimueh has to then choose between her sisters and between staying alive at Ygraine's side.

She chooses the latter and spends the next two decades growing to hate Ygraine with her whole heart for what she's doing to her people but also loving her for the person she was before. She constantly wants revenge but also wants to make sure that those she loves who are still protected stay alive.

Vivienne dies giving birth to Morgause, and Nimueh uses this as an excuse to leave the court. She visits Gorlois to help with the girls, promising to take them in if anything happens to him, and then goes to return back to the castle after a few months, as much as she hates it.

Eventually, something does happen to Gorlois, and when Morgana is 12 and Morgause 8 (and Arthur 10), the two girls come to live in the castle too.

Anyway, time rolls ever onward and Merlin is sent to the castle. Balinor is against it but Hunith tells him that Merlin's magic is too much for either of them and that Gaius and Alice (and by extension, Nimueh) are his best shot at learning to control the aspects of his magic that are just not within their knowledge.

Arthur is slightly less obnoxious because there's not so much of being raised as a macho man's man - however he is a massive mummy's boy which counteracts whatever character development not being raised by Uther gave him.

Like the first episode, Merlin rescues Arthur from the vengeful mother and gets assigned as his manservant. Some of what happens in the first series happens with Nimueh trying to get revenge on Ygraine while not revealing herself and also without killing Ygraine because her feelings are complicated.

The plot obviously won't be the same as the show but it vaguely follows the plot where it can.

The end of season 1 is Nimueh's reveal that she's kinda evil and then it's Merlin attempting to keep Arthur alive while Nimueh and Ygraine go to increasing lengths to get at each other, using everything they can.

Arthur becomes king and works very hard to make magic a part of society again. With both Nimueh and Ygraine gone by that point, there's no real antagonist against his reign other than Political Tensions and so it's Arthur and his many good friends/knights/advisors creating the kingdom of Albion with Love and Friendship.

Here's a little snippet from what I've written so far - this fic is mostly a bunch of disconnected snippets so far, so this is one of those:

The funeral is three days later.

Bronwyn stands two paces back from Ygraine – crowned Queen at her wedding, yes, but crowned ruling Queen again at her husband’s death – as she always has, holding the baby prince while her own children stand somewhere near the back with their grandparents. Thank the goddess for magic and her mother’s patience with a needle, or else none of them would have had the appropriate clothes.

Thank the goddess (although Bronwyn would never dare utter the words aloud) that Uther was the only victim that day.

Bronwyn does not know what might have happened if Uther had been the one to go through this grief, nor what might have happened if Arthur had been left parentless, nor if Uther and Ygraine had lost the child they had sacrificed so much for.

The vipers who Uther had fought for the throne some five years ago would be circling again if the throne was left empty, if there wasn’t someone showing a strong face to the crowds. If there wasn’t someone doing the job that Ygraine was doing so beautifully and with such a grace.

Still, Bronwyn had been uncertain if they would have managed a crowning so soon.

It had taken a bit of cajoling by the excellent seamstress in the castle’s employ and a little bit of magic to get Ygraine looking as if she hadn’t been through a very traumatic birth a mere few days before, and Nimueh now stands closer to the Queen than even Bronwyn as her ever-present pillar of support.

There’s the ceremony, led by Geoffrey, where the King is laid in the crypt and Ygraine is given the crown of state.

She stands on that dais for a few breathless moments, cutting a striking image of dark grief and power against the red drapery, and then she descends, sweeping out in a flurry of fabrics and skirts.

Nimueh is at her arm, and Bronwyn can barely keep up with the two of them.

The Spamalot Revival on Broadway is so good, I'm so very glad I got to see it last week while visiting a friend. I'll admit there might be some recency bias, since the only previous time I had seen Spamalot live was in 2007, but I like the revival staging more.

A big part of it was the framing of His Name Is Lancelot number, double checking how I remembered it with older recordings on youtube, the older version played it more as a joke similar to Keep it Gay from The Producers. The newer staging had as much clapping and cheering at the inclusive pride flag and Lancelot enthusiastically accepting his sexuality, as there was laughter at the disco dance and Lacelot contemplating at the 🍑🍆emojis paraded on stage. I hadn't thought much of Spamalot since I saw it in 2007 and back then I hadn't figured out that I was queer, and I was surprised at how much emotional impact I felt watching it on Valentines Day.

Also James Iglehart as King Arthur was amazing and for the first time I have a "this actor embodies this role to me" casting opinion. His eyebrow raises at the jokes and flourishes gave the role so much flair, and his vocal range and swagger gave really sold the kingly charisma. If you look up clips on youtube it will be clear what I'm trying to explain.

Sweet beginnings tag

I was tagged by @simsandgiggles ! Simblr 2016 gang 💕I tag whoever wants to do this! This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

Holy flashback. So the first one was taken on 3/15/13 !!! All the way back on my old ts3 exchange folder. I didn't know how to properly take screenshots back then and thought the memory function was the screenshot button. 😅 That's Connor, a werewolf dude who was my simself's boyfriend who has a guitar stuck to him and doesn't mind it The second is from when I first started a simblr in 2013 after posting sims screenshots to my main blog, it's Shea and my simself meeting Lacelot. I think I was playing in Aurora Skies ?? I had so little cc back then and played on a really bad laptop in college. The newest is from gen 2 of the jam legacy which I'm currently playing though, so oops spoilers! but that's Mignonette doing witchy stuff in her new home! I've come a long way since the days of awkward memory screenshots I have some bonus photos from old saves before I deleted them off my simblr, I wonder if anyone recognizes them! Ft. The Crystals, Lattes, Cookies, Celesticas and Aloes... and Moo 🥺

#ts3 #sims 3 #sweet beginnings tag #fae.txt #tag game #i wish i didnt delete my old stuff #im glad i have some of these saved on my twitter i had to really dig for these

Which Merlin episode you didn't like? Just a curiousity;)

Lancelot Du Lac...Oh.. amazing episode! Yeah! Totally! I mean, they only brought one of the greatest characters back to life to be a plot device, ruined everything he stood for, used him as a cheap way to banish Gwen, didn't make any of his other friends care for his death, and never resolved anything about this in the rest of the show! I mean, what's not to love, right? It's so great! I'm so glad they did that! WHOOO YEAHHH

......

....

I hate it. I hate it so much don't even get me started, anon. You know the worst thing about it? It doesn't matter. None of it matters because 2 episodes later Arthur and Gwen are back together and it's never mentioned again. So it literally only destroyed Lacelot's legacy and that's it.

I guess I have too much associations with Sailor Moon and Chibiusa's awakening.

Tristan is still learning to control his power. It is possible that the power of goddesses will awaken in turn, and then the power of demons. Now, when the Grudge Edinburgh is about to come out, I thought about a scene in which Elizabeth will be cursed / poisoned by Deathpierce, and then somehow Tristan's magic will bring her back to life. - Tristan you are finally awake. Your awakening revived me. - Mom, I'm sorry, then I wasn't strong enough to protect you - You are not at fault in anything. In abundance you have become a holy knight of strength unknown to anyone. Everything is fine with my body. Now we'll protect the liones together. - I always thought I was without a talent because I couldn't control my magic. - I've never thought that of you like that. You are my star. It is possible that it is then that Tristan and Lancelot will learn the prophecy of the Apocalypse and will be folded. Meliodas reaches for his sword and, with all of them, knights both boys. -Tristan, Lacelot on knees. Stand fearlessly in front of your enemies. Only tell the truth, even if it were to lead to your death. Protect the weakest. In times of war, take your armor off only to sleep. Dragon's Sin drew his sword and placed it once on the right arm and then on the left arm of the apocalypse knight. Then he gave the boy a slap so that he would always remember the words of the oath. -Your time has finally come, my little star. I think the events related to Edinburgh will make Tristan want to become independent. Prove to everyone that he is already a man, but still has trouble controlling his demonic magic.

And now

Chaos magic is like the combined power of demons and goddesses. Arthur was to be the first man in Britain to harmonize between these two powers. So when Tristan fully awakens his powers, it is possible that he will achieve the same harmony as the magic of chaos. Let's not forget that he is also the grandson of DK and SD. Two powerful gods. It is possible that he cannot control his magic because it is too powerful for him. After he is still a teenager, the storm of hormones and the responsibilities of being both a prince and a saint knight will make self-control even more difficult for him.

These Books Live Rent-Free In My Head, So Y'all Get to Hear About How Amazing They Are

*So head's up: This is a sequel, so there will be spoilers and I will assume you have read it if you're checking out this post, so be warned!*

It's pretty unusual for me to post about a single book that isn't also the first in a series. That seems to just be bad form on the internet. Tracy Deonn's Bloodmarked is an exception because of just how spectacularly she handles Bree, and what she is able to say and show with a Black female protagonist in a very, very white and bepenised organization. (Can I say bepenised on Tumblr? Whatever, we're rolling with it.) I want to get up here and SAY how amazing this book is. Let's talk Bloodmarked.

Ok, so what sparked this post is that the first chunk of this book pulls exactly zero punches about what primarily white, patriarchal societies are willing to do to Black bodies and minds.

The sheer balls it takes to *checks notes* kidnap the scion of Arthur as she comes into her power, pulls Excalibur from the stone, revealed a demon masquerading as one of your pages, pulled Lacelot's scion back into the fold, and single-handedly stubborned her way through a very rigged system and then keep her mesmered, brainwash her, and pump her full of what our equally kidnapped healer has zero qualms about calling poisonous and experimental are astoundingly large and astoundingly white. Literally nothing about reading this section of the book is comfortable or anything less than infuriating, and it lands hard.

This whole sequence recalls the history of violence enacted on Black bodyminds in America, and strongly reiterates the fact that that violence is STILL enacted on them. It also really highlights how systemic and individual racism work together to the point that the Order of the Round Table literally *delegitimized the authority of the scion of King Frickin' Arthur* because of that scion's skin color. If the Order of the Round Table can do that, then I don't think it's unfair to accuse the governing council of white supremacy.

What is the absolute kicker about the whole thing is that Bree still has to function in this system, and she literally has racist asshole King Frickin' Arthur in her head screwing with her ability to use both root and aether to manipulate her into basically signing over her body for his use. Seriously, not a fan of King. Frickin'. Arthur. in this book.

And yet despite all of this, Bree gets to be a whole human and a whole teenage girl. She gets to be a badass. She gets to be and feel beautiful. She gets to be brilliant, both academically and with people. She gets to have drama-filled crushes on boys (albeit with higher stakes than your average drama-filled teenage crush). I love how complex, nuanced, and throughly steeped in both history and contemporary culture this whole story is, and how Bree carries all of that throughout the story.

There's not a whole lot of actual analysis in this post; plenty of other scholars and readers with actual lived experience who are more qualified to analyze this have, and you should go read them. My goal with this post is to offer love and attention to a book that is still living rent-free in my head. If for some reason you haven't read these books (and well done for still being here at this point if that's the case!), then you absolutely should. I inhaled them in a weekend, and they left handprints on my heart, they way the best books do.
