Fic title ask meme: Fire in the Sky

Okay so I have two completely opposite ideas for this.

First idea: It's a fluffy Ral x Tomik fic where Ral decides to propose via skywriting but has to basically reverse engineer that magic since the Azorius aren't gonna just give possibly the most powerful magic on Ravnica to him. Featuring a scene where Ral perfects the magic on Ixalan to the onlooking of the happy Saheeli and Huatli. And of course the final scene is Ral proposing in the flashiest Izzet-iest way, and promptly getting nearly arrested for it. Also, despite Ral attempting to keep his project a secret, Tomik does have the paper legal citations needed to turn the Azorius lawmage away without taking Ral in handcuffs with him.

Okay, that's the soft one, now for the other

Second idea: Crash Town but for the other Dark Signers, especially Misty and Carly. I wanna see them wrestle with their actions as Dark Signers. To see them have to come to terms with themselves being used in the Goodwins's games. And in this weird game of cosmic chess. I think this involves going to go see Kalin/Kiryu and Griger in a therapy road trip. Hell, maybe they even find a way to talk to the Goodwins in the afterlife just for some closure. Also I want Misty and Carly to kiss

So yea, fluffy mtg fic or emotional yugioh fic are the options.

#thanks for the ask!#this was fun #took a minute for the writing juices to get going there but we got there #not gonna tag the characters and whatnot cause i don't want it to show up in the tags

I wonder how many Dinobots (Saheeli x Huatli) shippers only ship it because they really want giant robot dinosaurs in magic

MTG Planeswalker Soulmate AU

@stormconduit Full outline of the soulmate AU per plane including some walkers from unknown planes

EDIT: Forgot to put soulmate method initially lol

AU where soulmates are a thing, but the method of finding your soulmate changes depending on the plane.

Methods are one sided when your soulmate is on a different plane.

Ex A Dominarian would have the name of their Ravnican Soulmate, but the Ravnican would not have their name and would instead get their skills.

When on the same plane, methods become mutual.

Ex: If the Dominarian and Ravnican were on the same plane, the Ravnican would develop the Dominarian’s name (in addition to having their skills) and the Dominarian would develop the Ravnican’s skills (in addition to having their name).

Alara: Ajani/Tezzeret

The heartbeat of your soulmate is on your wrist (similar to the line on a heart monitor)

When we go back to Theros (and Elspeth probably comes back) Ajani sees the heartbeat on his wrist start back up

Amonkhet: Samut

Soulmates cannot lie to eachother

I liked the idea of Djeru's conflict between knowing Samut couldn't lie to him, but also refusing to accept everything he knows is wrong

Dominaria: Urza/Karn/Bolas/Ugin/Venser/Jaya/Freylise/Teferi/Windgrace/Serra/Liliana

The name of your soulmate as well as a title signifying their greatest accomplishment on your wrist

This was primarily due to the focus on history/sagas on Dominaria with accomplishments being a significant part of ones identity

I also liked the idea of Urza's soulmate (probably Yawgmoth) having "Urza, Destroyer of Worlds" on their wrist

Eldraine: Will/Rowen

You are black/white colorblind until you touch your soulmate

Idk, this is one of the ones that seemed the most fairy-taley

Fiora : Dack/Daretti

Can send a message to your soulmate after dying, essentially last words

I see Dack as having not yet met his soulmate (I think he is womanizing?) and when he dies in WAR his death message is just apologizing for never being able to meet them

Gobakhan: Teyo

Dial on wrist that shows how much danger your soul mate is in

Reason Teyo became a Shieldmage, wanted to be able to protect his soulmate

Innistrad: Sorin/Tibalt/Arlinn

Soulmates constantly reincarnate in each other’s lives

vampires constantly watching lovers grow old and die. Vampires also can't reincarnate (as Vampirism is demonic based)

St Traft made the ultimate sacrifice to keep protecting Innistrad giving up his ability to reincarnate

Ixalan: Huatli

Wherever your soulmate touches temporarily changes color

It just seemed appropriate especially for Huatli who is a poet

Kaladesh: Chandra/Dovin/Saheeli

Whenever you touch your soulmate you feel a mild spark

It seemed suitable for a plane focused on technology

Chandra probably keeps poking Nissa (in the same way children touch people after building up static)

Dovin definitely avoids touching people

Kamigawa : Tamiyo

Red string of fate

I just thought it fit the Kamigawa aesthetic well

Mirrodin: Koth

Countdown timer until death

I found it interesting if the Mirran survivors realized that no one's timer lasted longer than a particular point, when would they just give up

Plane of Mountain and Seas: Jiang/Mu Yangling

You can taste whatever your soulmate tastes

I can just see Jiang and Mowu trying to find his soulmate based on the taste of each plane's food

Ravnica: Ral/Vraska/Domri

Share talents/skills

I really needed an explanation for how Vraska and Ral know how to read

Awkward misunderstanding where Ral thinks his knowledge of law comes from Jace

Also how Jace learns to sail so quickly

Skalla: Vivien

You can give years of your life to your soulmate.

Vivien gave as much of her life as she could to try to keep her soulmate alive during the destruction of Skalla. She knows she doesn't have long left so focuses solely on revenge

Tarkir: Sarkhan/Narset

You feel a constant pull in the direction of your soulmate

Both Sarkhan and Narset are described as feeling restless constantly

Theros: Gideon/Xenagos

You feel whatever pain your soulmate does

BEING GIDEON IS SUFFERING - Gideon's invulnerability keeps him from feeling anything from his soulmate

Vryn: Jace

Soulmates share a telepathic connection

I just kind of liked the idea of Jace being lonely in his own head and his telepathy developing as a result of his lonliness

Zendikar: Nahiri/Kiora/Nissa

You can give mana and take mana from your soulmate

Basically the whole Nissa and Chandra, Channel/Fireball

I can also see Nahiri accidentally drawing too much mana and accidentally killing her soulmate during the sealing of the Eldrazi, would explain why she is so bitter

UNKNOWN PLANES

Angrath

Whatever your soulmate is thinking about you is written on your skin

Angrath constantly has reminders that his family misses him, nothing gets back to his family so they think he is dead

Elspeth

Doesn’t have a method of finding a soulmate, phyrexian corrupted planes don’t have a method (they can still have soulmates though)

Garruk

Cannot harm soulmate

Part of the reason he murders his way across the multiverse, hoping to find someone he is unable to hurt

Kaya

Soulmate tattoos

Kaya/Teysa pairing (maybe platonic) and Kaya with the Orzhov symbol tattooed on her and making everyone in Orzhov super uncomfortable

Oko

You can only be killed by your soulmate

I just saw it as a very Oko thing

Wanderer

If you don’t find your soulmate by the time you turn X years old, you die

The Wanderer essentially was given a death sentence when their spark ignited, as it would be nearly impossible to find them given the size of the multiverse

constant planeswalking is the result of trying desperately to find their soulmate

Is there a reason in the lore why individuals aligned with a particular color tend to almost exclusively wear it?

I was about to chalk this up to “Power Ranger Syndrome,” but I decided to first take another look at the planeswalker art we have to see how many of them actually do wear clothes that match their color identity.

Looking at it on a case by case basis, it seems to be a bit more nuanced than I thought. Here’s what I found:

Ajani Goldmane - While Ajani’s own fur is white, he really doesn’t start wearing any white clothing until he inherits Elspeth’s cloak

Angrath - He wears a red sash, but most of his black and red appearance comes from his black hair and face, in addition to the red heat that emanates from him

Arlinn Kord - Wears clothes made of furs, but they’re mostly earth tones, more than red and green

Ashiok - Plenty of black (probably for dramatic effect) but pretty much no blue

Chandra Nalaar - What’s red and red and red all over? Totally Chandra, even without all that fire (though she comes from a plane where vibrant colors in clothing are part of the culture, and maybe she wants to match her fire magic?)

Dack Fayden - Mostly dark blue clothes with a very bright red hand

Daretti - No red visible on his clothes or his skin

Domri Rade - I guess his pants are kind of red? Honestly, the lighting in his art makes it really hard to tell

Dovin Baan - Blue skin, but no white or blue clothing

Elspeth Tirel - Her cloak is most definitely white, but that can be explained by the fact that it comes from Bant and she is constantly seeking a place of light and purity

Feyalise - I can’t tell if her clothes are inspired by plants or actually are plants, but either way yeah they’re really green

Garruk Wildspeaker - Like Arlinn, his clothes are mostly furs and earth tones

Gideon Jura - While his armor is often depicted reflecting white light, it’s not actually white itself, just shiny

Huatli - Yeah her armor definitely has a red and white motif going on (which maybe explains why the art on her G/W card feels so out of place to me?)

Jace Beleren - BLUE HOOD, BLUE CLOAK, BLUE BELT SHIRT!! Yup, Jace is little boy blue alright, but to be fair, he could just be trying to match the cool blue color that his magic makes

Karn - Colorless is not a color, and Karn has no clothes

Kaya - Earth tone clothes, rather than white and black, though she does have black hair

Kiora - Blue skin, but her clothes (armor? shells?) are neither green nor blue

Koth - He’s got a red sash thing around his waist, but that could be explained by the fact that he’s a Vulshok, maybe?

Liliana Vess - Black hair, dark purple clothes

Nahiri - White skin and hair, clothing is mostly earth tones with a little bit of red accents

Narset - Definite blue and white theme to her clothes, likely because of her history with the Ojutai clan

Nicol Bolas - Lots of gold in his appearance (which sometimes looks kinda green?) but not much black, red, or blue is visible

Nissa Revane - GREEN GREEN GREEN!!! Though I suppose that’s natural when you grow up in a super verdant jungle and you don’t want to be seen by baloths

Ob Nixilis - Black armor that appears to have fused into black skin later on? Maybe it’s part of that “Black Oath” he took…

Ral Zarek - Red and blue clothing that can be justified by his membership in the Izzet League

Saheeli Rai - The only in-story reason I can think of for her clothes to be so vibrantly blue and red is that she just looks so gosh darn STUNNING in them!

Samut - I can’t really see any red or green in her clothing or appearance in general

Sarkhan Vol - I feel like Sarkhan’s clothing and color identity both change so much he’s hard to comment on here

Sorin Markov - Pale skin and white hair, and black clothes because he’s Edgey

Tamiyo - Her skin is white and her clothes are green, but no trace of blue in her appearance, even though it’s her primary color

Teferi - Blue vest (is that thing a vest?) could be due to his time studying at the Tolarian Academy

Tezzeret - Some art depicts him wearing blue, but not the majority (I feel like his metal arm and red face markings are the only thing that really give him a signature “look”)

Tibalt - His skin is red and he has a red vest, but most of his clothes are earth tones

Ugin - Colorless is not a color, and Ugin has no clothes

Urza - Urza is just a head

Venser - Venser has some white under his outer layer of clothes (though I wouldn’t call it underwear) but I can’t see any blue, which is his primary color

Vraska - On Ravnica, Vraska’s green and black clothing can be attributed to her Golgair allegiance (and on Ixalan she wears whatever the heck she wants!)

Xenagos - Green clothes (do ribbons count as clothes?) and red, uh… body paint?

OK, that was fun to run through all the current planeswalkers with cards and their style choices, but here’s what I find really interesting. Until I looked up the art, I just assumed that most planeswalkers do wear clothing with their color identities. When in reality, that is actually the minority of cases.

So why the mistake? I think some of it can be attributed to things like Ajani’s white fur or Dovin Baan’s blue skin, but I think it mostly stems from the colors of the lighting and backgrounds that the artists portray that leave us thinking Garruk’s art is green and Daretti’s art is red (even when the appearance of the characters themselves isn’t.)

Thanks for the interesting question, @luckystampede!!

(On an unrelated note, is it strange to anybody else, that all of the planeswalkers with names starting with T through X don’t have last names?)
