It’s an exciting prospect for Aster Kobor, newly graduated from the fleet academy and hoping to make her mark upon the stars. Unfortunately, it only takes a few weeks for Aster to realise that the Archimedes is nicknamed ‘the screw’ for a reason. It’s a ship for the rejects and misfits, those deemed unfit to serve in the frontier ships and command never lets them do anything exciting. Still, Aster is determined to make the best of it and, unbeknownst to her, her meddling Captain is about to give the crew of the Archimedes their chance to show command what they're made of.

Soon a bad reputation is the least of their troubles and, whether the crew like it or not, they’ll have to learn to survive in deep space - where their only certainty is each other.

Featuring

One woman’s obsession with the railways

Code breaking commuters

Breakfasts cooked on a coal shovel

Being accidentally adopted by an elderly fireman and driver duo

Occasional air raid for added ~spice~

Solidarity in the face of adversity and outdated systems

Summary

Bea had always been fascinated by the railways, but her dream of driving one of the locomotives always seemed out of reach. Working the trains is dangerous, dirty, and completely off limits to the fairer sex.

Then the war came and the men went off the fight. Answering the call to help, Bea and her fellow railway volunteers find themselves with an opportunity of a lifetime. Obscured from judging eyes by steam and smoke they shadow the veteran drivers and engineers, learning what they can on the job and hitting the library when they can't.

The trains need to run, they are vital to the war effort. All it would take is one rogue bomb, one mishap to take out a driver and the wheels stop spinning.

Or at least, that's what the station manager thinks.

Currently Doing Research and Initial Planning!

Jewish Nathaniel Kurtzberg headcanons

It is canon that Nathaniel is Jewish, evident in his surname and absence from the Christmas special. However because "religion is a secular matter and cannot be portrayed in a children's TV show" (🙄), Nathaniel's heritage won't be represented in any of the episodes, so I'll be writing these headcanons.

Nathaniel (like Marinette, Adrien, and their classmates) was born between late 2000 and mid-2001.

The law on religious display in public schools (la loi sur les signes religieux dans les écoles publiques) was signed on March 15, 2004.

The law on face-coverings in public (la loi interdisant la dissimulation du visage dans l'espace public) was passed by the Senate on September 14, 2010.

TW for references of antisemitism and Islamophobia

Nathaniel's great-grandparents were German Jews who fled to France shortly before World War II

his family is not Orthodox but they are religious, they go to synagogue, celebrate the holidays, follow kosher, etc.

Nathaniel has always been a shy, quiet kid but his parents raised him to be assertive and to question authority if necessary

the first time Nathaniel realizes he is different is when he is three years old and starts preschool, during lunch he can't eat what the other children are eating in case the food is not kosher

his parents contact the preschool, who refuse to provide a kosher/pork-free option or let Nathaniel pack his own lunch, they compromise to let him go home for lunch instead

December rolls around, and the other children are excited about Christmas, except for Nathaniel, who is excited about Hanukkah but can't help but feel a bit left out

at six years old, another boy in his class starts running his hands through Nathaniel's hair out of the blue, "I heard that your people have horns, where are yours"

at eight years old, a girl in his class sees the gold Star of David necklace that Nathaniel always wears and starts bombarding him with questions

Nathaniel knows that she has no bad intentions but can't help feeling a bit uncomfortable and othered

at nine years old, during a class debate on the hijab ban, another boy says how anyone who wears their religious symbols are not truly French and should go back to where they came from, leaving Nathaniel flushing with shame and anger

at eleven years old, he begins attending Collège Françoise Dupont

on his first day of middle school, Principal Damoclés makes him remove his Star of David necklace

he is afraid but looks the principal straight in the eye and refuses, "this is my religion and my identity," he says, his heart pounding and his voice shaking

after a few more resists, Principal Damoclés suspends him

when he goes home to his confused parents, Nathaniel breaks down in tears as he explains Principal Damoclés suspending him on his first day of middle school for his necklace

his furious parents storm over to the school to confront the principal, demanding he allow their son back to school immediately and for him to wear the symbol of his religious pride

Principal Damoclés lets him back the next day but Nathaniel never wears his necklace to school again, only at home and in non-school settings

the day he returns to school, fellow classmate Alix Kubdel approaches him

Alix explains her family heritage: her family is of Algerian origin and Muslim, and while she can pass as white, her parents and brother have faced racism, Alix's mother have even had her hijab ripped off by an old white man on public transit and no one defended her

Nathaniel knows that he, as a white-presenting boy, cannot relate to the experiences of Alix or her mother, but appreciates having a friend who understands

he invited Alix to his bar mitzvah

he loves learning about the Holocaust, it is painful but his ancestors' strength and resilience make him proud, he can't stand how all of his classmates seem to stare at him during class whenever it comes up

in his third year, he is placed in Miss Bustier's class with Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Chloé Bourgeois, Sabrina Raincomprix, Rose Lavillant, Juleka Couffaine, Lê Chiến Kim and Max Kanté

when he arrives at school one morning he sees a swastika drawn in permanent marker on his desk, drawn by Chloé "Can't he make sushi like everyone else" Bourgeois

he reports it to a furious Miss Bustier, who sends Chloé to Principal Damoclés, who lets her off with a mere warning, which infuriates Nathaniel and his parents

as much as he wants to stay home from school the next day, Nathaniel is determined to not let Chloé win and shows up at school the next day

a sneering Chloé comes up to him, but before Chloé could open her mouth, fellow classmate Marinette Dupain-Cheng spoke up

"you suck, Chloé." Marinette glares at the blonde. "you speak of him as if he is below you, but he's got more nerve in his finger than your entire body"

Rose and Juleka join in, "Leave him alone, Chloé" "go pick on someone your own size, someone with an overinflated head like you"

Chloé started bullying Marinette

meanwhile, Nathaniel starts to fall for Marinette and becomes closer to Rose and Juleka

in the middle of his fourth and final year, he gets over his crush on Marinette/Ladybug and instead starts falling for Marc Anciel, with whom he works on their Ladybug comics

he confides his feelings for Marc to Alix

"you might be bi or pan," Alix, who is aromantic and an expert in LGBT terminology, explains to him

he first comes out as bisexual to Alix, who is nothing but incredibly supportive and proud of her best friend

Rose and Juleka (canon girlfriends!) are the next to know, and he grows closer to the girls than ever

Nathaniel is hesitant to come out to his parents, however: he feels like he is betraying the Jewish identity his parents instilled in him since childhood by coming out to them

he begins to research queer Jewish identity on the Internet and hears stories of others from all across the globe, who are queer, Jewish and proud

Nathaniel eventually asks out Marc, who agrees to be his boyfriend and he is happier than ever

Marc isn't Jewish but is more than happy to learn about Jewish culture and to fight anyone who dares to say anything antisemitic, whether about Nathaniel or not

since he started dating Marc, Nathaniel gains the courage to come out to his parents, who immediately accept him, much to his pleasant surprise

"you are our son, and our religion accepts everyone," his father says

"love is love, and if this boy Marc makes you happy, that's all that matters," his mother says

he gets into the same design school as Marc and Marinette for high school

in his first year of high school, he and Marc finally publish their Ladybug comics, which quickly become successful

towards his final years of high school, he begins studying for the baccalauréat while continuing his relationship with Marc and their comics and applying for his birthright trip

on his final year of high school, he passes the bac littéraire along with Marc and Marinette, and the three reunite with their middle school friends to celebrate

soon after graduating high school, he leaves for birthright (Alix cried buckets of tears at the airport)

the trip is the best ten days of his life, Nathaniel feels at home as he connects with other French Jews and Jews from across the globe and visits the cultural sites

shortly after his return to France, Nathaniel invites Marc to the Seine, where he gets down on one knee, much to the latter's delight (they both cry tears of joy that night)

his and Marc's wedding was the most beautiful day ever, they have a traditional Jewish wedding filled with ketubah, chuppah, glass breaking, joy, light and love

Katara x Male!autistic!reader - heal what’s been hurt

Can you please write autistic male reader [unless you don't write male reader, then can be female] where reader comes from a family of firebenders and earthbenders? They can use both and reader can lavabend and lightning bend. Reader is afraid of waterbenders because he was almost killed by one and maybe Zuko catches Katara yelling at reader and reader [out of fear] lavanends in self defense. Katara ends up burned and Zuko yells at Katara and Sokka is mad until Zuko tells him what happened. It's not until dinner when reader comes out of the room [he/she] are staying in that Katara sees all the scars they have on [his/her] back and chest that she understands why reader is terrified of waterbenders. Katara ends up apologizing to reader but reader is still hesitant about her. Maybe they form a friendship? [Sorry if this is too detailed] - Anon💜

You never agreed with Zuko when he tried to chase down the avatar, you believed that it was time for the needless war to end, your family was proof different nations could get along.

Only Iroh and Zuko knew of your true heritage, that you were born to an earth bending mother, and a fire bender father, who happened to be a high ranking member of the army.

They fell in love in a small village in the earth nation, and your father hid her and her family as fire nation citizens from one of the colonies.

You never attempted to stop Zuko, your fire bending was on par to his, you could lava bend, and lightening bend, but you couldn’t bring yourself to hurt him.

He was your best friend.

Sitting on the floor of the fire princes room, you stretched and laid down as you stared at his ceiling.

“We’re leaving.” He said sternly.

“Oh come on!” You huffed.

“Pack a bag we need to go now.”

You sighed and grabbed your already packed bag, following after Zuko as he led you both away from the palace.

You did ask him over and over again where you were going, but he didn’t tell you.

He wouldn’t even tell you what happened.

You simply followed him on the blimp, resting your arms over the edge as you watched the world below you pass.

“Hey Zuko?” You asked.

“Yeah?”

“You’ve abandoned the fire nation haven’t you?”

You turned around to face him.

He looked so sad, and you sighed, walking over to him you placed a hand on his shoulder.

“I’m worried it to late.”

“It’s never to late to make the right choice Zuko, you’re doing what needs to be done for the good of the world. Iroh would be proud you know.”

“I don’t know…” Zuko mumbled.

“He will, all he ever wanted for you was to choose the right path in life. You got a little sidetracked, and went down the wrong path for a while, but you know what you need to do now. You’re your own person, in control of your own actions, and you’re doing the right thing.”

“You never agreed with me capturing the avatar, did you?” He asked.

You shook your head and rested yourself against the edge of the blimp with him, watching as the stars gently passed you by.

“Why did you follow me then? Why did you stay?”

Laughing slightly, you shot your friend a soft smile.

“I stayed because you’re my best friend you idiot, you’re like a brother to me, okay? You saved me, and helped me heal myself, and I’m here to do that to you, it’s what friends do.”

Zuko smiled, looking up at the stars with you.

“You’ve always been part of our family (Y/N), I know uncle sees you as his own son, and you’re the closest I’ll ever have to having a supportive family. You’re my brother, and you always will be.”

You grinned, turning to face Zuko as you held your your hand.

“Deal?”

Zuko smiled, shaking hands with you.

“Deal.”

“Great, I’m going to sleep!”

Laying down, you quickly fell asleep and Zuko stayed awake to guide you guys where you needed to be.

He didn’t wake you up when you landed, but when he came back feeling defeated he finally woke you up with a heavy frown on his face.

You stirred a little bit, sitting up to look at him.

“What’s wrong?”

“They won’t trust me, they won’t let me help.” He sighed.

“Get some rest Zuko, we’ll talk to them again in the morning, okay?”

He nodded and you helped him set up a camp, and while he went to sleep, you stayed up and kept watch.

You know you didn’t have to, you were safe here, but it was out of habit, and if you didn’t stay awake you knew Zuko would’ve, and he needed his rest.

Hearing a small twig snap, you looked over and quickly got into a fighting stance.

“Who’s there?”

You watched as the earth bender girl stepped forth, and you lowered your guard as you gestured for her to come over and sit with you.

You guys spoke for a little while, and you answered questions she asked you before she left, and you went back to staring into the fire.

Morning came, and Zuko guided you to where Aang and his group were camping out.

“Zuko.” Sokka snarled.

You took a step back as you stared at the clothes he was wearing, you were so focused on Sokka you didn’t even notice Katara had joined.

“Please just let us help!” Zuko begged.

“No! You can’t be trusted, neither of you can!”

“We want to stop this war, it’s all (Y/N) has ever wanted! A peaceful life for his family!” Zuko yelled.

“You’re both enemies! You chased us! Hunted us!” Katara yelled.

She took a step forward, and you took one back.

You were so zoned out you weren’t even aware that they had finally agreed to let you guys stay and help.

Zuko noticed this and he placed his hands on your shoulders.

“Breathe…” he whispered.

“Zuko… I need to go…”

“We’re going to find a room away from you all, to make you feel safer.”

With that Zuko quickly dragged you away.

He helped you through your panic, sitting with you until you were okay, and you decided that some sleep would help.

You avoided Katara and Sokka for days, either staying in your room or near Zuko, and finally Katara had enough.

Her and Sokka cornered you on the ledge outside.

“You’re just here to spy on us aren’t you?!” Katara yelled.

“N…no…” you spoke weakly.

“You are! You’re just here to get information and give it to the fire lord! It’s why you’re always sneaking around!”

You tried to speak, but you couldn’t find your voice, all you could do was shake your head at all the accusations she was throwing your way.

Your heart was pounding, you were struggling to breath and everything was getting blurry.

You couldn’t focus on anything, they didn’t look like Katara and Sokka, friends of the avatar, they looked like the people you dreaded. The people you feared.

Katara suddenly moved her hand and out of relaxed your raised yours, a wall of lava coming up between the pair of you and the two water benders scrambled back.

It came crashing down, and Katara screamed as bits of embers landed on her and burned her skin.

Zuko, Toph and Aang were alerted to the screams, and they came running to help.

Toph built a wall to stop the lava from travelling, blocking it in front of them so it couldn’t travel any closer.

With his airbending Aang put out the lava.

You stood there frozen.

“I’m sorry… i.. I’m so sorry…”

You shook your head and you ran past them, straight to the little room you were camping in.

“Look what he did! I told you they can’t be trusted!” Sokka yelled.

“It’s not his fault!” Zuko yelled.

While Aang helped Katara, and she healed herself with some water, Zuko and Sokka screamed back and forth.

Finally Aang jumped between them.

“I’m sorry, you have to go.” Aang said sternly.

“Let me explain! There’s a reason he did that!”

“Go!” Sokka yelled.

Katara sat there cradling her hands to her chest, tears in her eyes and Zuko frantically looked around.

“He didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Go!” Aang snapped.

Zuko sighed, nodding his head knowing he wasn’t going to be able to force them to listen to him.

“Wait, he’s telling the truth. (Y/N) didn’t do this on purpose. And (Y/N) was telling the truth when he apologised, he didn’t mean to hurt Katara.”

“Then he better have one hell of a good reason.” Sokka growled.

He crouched next to his sister and held her while Zuko sat down.

Aang and Toph did the same next to Katara, and they all stared at Zuko waiting for an explanation.

“(Y/N) has never had any intention of hurting anyone, he hates the war and wants it to stop because his parents live in constant fear of the fire nation. He actually set out to find Aang in the North Pole while I was trying to capture him, he was trying to warn him.”

Zuko sighed as he remembered that day.

“He didn’t get far when he was captured by water benders, he was moved to some sort of cell made completely from ice, he couldn’t use his bending to escape. The water nation wanted him to talk.”

The four shared a confused look, but carried on listening.

“They… the things they did to him are things you wouldn’t survive… no one could survive… but he did…” Zuko whispered.

“What did they do?” Aang asked quietly.

“They broke him, destroyed him, hurt him until there was nothing left but an empty shell of who he was before. But he couldn’t give them the information they wanted, and that’s when they tossed him into the sea to freeze, my uncle came across him and brought him back to our ship. It’s how I met him.”

Zuko looked up at them all.

“You have to understand what they did to him placed a deep fear of water benders in him, he is terrified of members of the water nation. Katara yelled and screaming put him right back in that cell, and out of fear he attacked her because he thought he was in danger, all he ever wanted to do was help the avatar.”

They all stayed silent for a few minute.

“He’s telling the truth.” Toph said softly.

“No! There’s no way the water tribe would do that to him!” Katara growled.

“It is hard to believe…” Aang spoke, “but Toph could tell if Zuko was lying.”

“You can’t be serious!” Sokka huffed.

After talking it over, they agreed to let the pair of you stay, and while Zuko stayed in your room with you, they stayed away from you both.

Zuko came out when dinner was ready, and he let you know that he would save you a bowl for when you were ready.

You were scared, terrified, but slowly you crept from your room, setting your burned shirt that you were trying to fix by the door.

You walked out and crept around the edge of the circle.

Aang was the first to greet you with a smile, and Zuko did the same, holding up a bowl for you.

Walking closer, you knelt to Zuko, whispering a thanks too him and Aang as you sat down between them.

You kept your eyes on your food as you slowly ate, but you couldn’t shake the stares on you.

Sokka and Katara were staring at you.

In the light of the sun, they could see the pale scars covering your chest, some even trailing up to your neck or around your side.

When you finished eating you simply just got up and left, while Sokka looked away shamed Katara had her eyes glued to you.

The scars on your back were worse, deeper, jagged, still healing.

After her dinner, she excused herself and got up, only to be stopped by Zuko.

“Give him his space, leave him a route to get out if he needs to…” he whispered.

“How did you…?”

“I saw you watching him.”

She nodded and thanked Zuko, making her way down to your room and carefully knocked lightly on the stone.

You looked up and when you saw her you shuffled back a little, eyes glued to her.

“Can I came in?”

You didn’t answer.

“That’s okay, I’ll just sit here.”

She sat on the far edge of your doorway, she took a deep breath.

“I’m really sorry for shouting at you, scaring you. I should have let you explain and not jumped to conclusions, I understand why you attacked me, it was to protect yourself and that’s okay. I’m really sorry (Y/N).”

You didn’t stay anything, you simply just carried on working on your shirt.

Katara watched you for a moment, a small smile on her face as she watched your struggle to sow.

“I can fix that if you want?” She asked gently.

You shook your head and she nodded.

“Okay, well, I’ll leave you be. But if you need help just ask.”

With that she got up and walked away.

You set your shirt aside and sighed to yourself, looking at the little pricks on your fingers from trying and failing to sow the holes closed.

You weren’t sure how long you were trying, but it was dark. Zuko had come in at some point and was fast asleep on the other side of the room.

Folding the shirt, you stood up and carefully crept out, making your way to a different section of the temple and slipped in.

You glanced at Sokka who was throwing a small rock in the air and catching it, and he stopped when you walked in.

He watched you pad over to Katara, laying the folded shirt next to her things before you backed away quickly.

“She’s really good you know, she fixes all my clothes for me.” Sokka smiled.

You said nothing and scurried away.

When Katara woke that morning, she sat up and stretched, reaching for her bag she froze when she felt an unfamiliar fabric and looked down.

“He dropped it off last night.” Sokka yawned and rolled over.

Katara smiled to herself and picked it up, getting straight to work.

It took her an hour, she then washed it, asked Aang to dry it and looked around for any sign of where you could be.

She couldn’t find you or Zuko, but she did find Toph playing with Momo.

“Have you seen (Y/N)?”

“Never before.”

“Toph I’m serious.”

“So am I.” She shrugged.

Katara sighed and rolled her eyes.

“Okay, do you know where he may be? Better?”

“Much! He’s petting Appa.” Toph said.

Katara walked over to where the flying bison as laid, and she found you just stood in front of him, ruffling your hands through his fur as you mumbled to the bison.

“(Y/N)?”

You jumped, spinning around to face her.

“I fixed your shirt, I washed it as well. Aang dried it so there’s no water on it.”

She held it out and you looked at her with suspicion.

“I’ll just set it here.”

She set the folded shirt on the floor and back away, and you walked closer so you could pick it up.

Again she found herself staring at the scars on your skin.

“They don’t hurt…” you muttered.

“What?”

“My scars, I know you’re looking at them. They don’t hurt, aside from one on my back, the rest are okay.”

“I can take a look at it for you if you want? I’m a healer as well.”

You looked at her.

Her healing it meant water, and she knew that and you knew that as well, so you shook your head and pulled your shirt over your head.

“That’s okay, but if you change your mind I’m more then happy to heal it.”

“Iroh already took a look, he said it’ll be the hardest to heal, because it’s so deep.”

“I’m really sorry they did they to you (Y/N), I really am. I can’t imagine what you went through, or why they would do that.”

You sighed, looking up at the water bender.

“It’s not your fault…”

“But it was my people.”

“And mine have killed yours, so I suppose it’s fair, right?”

“No, no it’s not. Because you didn’t do any harm to anyone, you were just trying to help us.”

“Zuko told you?”

“He told us everything after the incident, and I don’t blame you for what you did, Sokka doesn’t either, we both understand.”

You just nodded your head and went back to what you were doing.

Katara kept trying to talk to you, while you talked to everyone else, you stayed clear of her and Sokka.

Even as you guys had to move from the air temple, you still avoided them, you even went with Toph just to get away.

She was sitting in her tent when you came over and shuffled awkwardly in front of it.

“Is something wrong?”

Katara noticed your lack of shirt, and the dirt on your skin.

“Can you fix this?”

“Sure? What happened?”

You sat on the outside of her tent and tossed your shirt in.

“Zuko and I were sparring, we got carried away…”

Katara laughed and got everything she needed out.

You watched her carefully, trying to figure out what she was doing so you could start fixing your own clothes.

“It’s pretty simple when you get the hang of it, it just takes some practice. You just have to be slow and careful.” She explained.

You nodded your head.

“So you can lavabend right?”

“Yeah, it’s a trait that runs in my family.”

“Can you earth bend?”

“No, but I can lightening bend, I’m trying to teach Zuko, but he just keeps redirecting it instead.”

“Can everyone lightening bend?”

“No, it’s hard to learn, and extremely dangerous.”

You shuffled a little further in to the tent as it started to softly rain, not wanting to get the water on your skin.

“You have to have a clear mind, a clear energy. You must tame the energies inside of you, because even one slip up can cost you your life. But you can master everything, and still not be able to create lightening, honestly not many people try. Those that do are seen as foolish, reckless. Much like lava bending, you have to have utter control, because one wrong move can cause more damage, it can destroy whole cities if you’re not careful.” You explained.

“Oh I get it, it’s kind of like blood bending, or metal bending.”

“Yeah, except with those there’s no risk to your own life.”

“I see, that’s why you stick to fire bending.”

“Yeah, it’s simple, less dangerous, and is more of a self defence strategy. I try not to use my Lava or lightening bending, I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

Katara offered you a smile.

“That’s really noble of you.”

“Thanks…”

You looked out at the rain that was coming down heavier and shuffled further inside as the little droplet touched your skin.

Katara set your shirt aside, and moved some things to make room for you to get inside away from the rain.

“I don’t have a towel or anything to dry you with, can I bend the rain off you?”

You slowly nodded your head, you wanted the water off, and you squeezed your eyes shut as she raised her hands.

You waited the pain, but it never came, you felt the water leave your skin, and you slowly opened your eyes.

Katara shaped the water into a small ball, and carefully let it out of the entrance of the tent while you watched.

“Are you okay?”

“Can.. can you show me that again?”

“Are you sure?”

You nodded your head and she smiled, moving to sit next to you as she drew some water in to the tent.

She played with it, sending it between her hands, creating different shapes, separating it and putting it back together.

She kept glancing at you, making sure you were okay, and when she saw you flinch she sent the water back out.

“Everything can be used to hurt others in the wrong hands, but it can also be used to help people too.” She smiled.

You looked at her, shifting a little as you back started to ache.

“Can you… maybe look at my back…?”

“Are you sure? I’d need water to heal it to remove the pain.”

“We… we’re friends… so… I trust you…” you mumbled.

Katara smiled brightly, and shuffled behind you, letting you know exactly what she was doing before she did it, and when you moved or flinched she would wait for you to give her the all clear.

You were terrified, you wanted to get out of there, but when the water touched your back, it soothed the pain you were feeling, it felt almost nice.

“Thank you for trusting me (Y/N), I know this is really hard for you.”

You said nothing in reply, just simply sat there with your eyes closed as you slowly breathed in and out.

She was your friend, you could trust her, you knew she wasn’t going to hurt you, and maybe with her help you would be able to look at water with the love and fascination you did as a child.

Maybe water didn’t have to be such a frightening thing anymore

I would love the Casey lore but I also don't want spoilers, so I'm going to ask a bunch of stuff again!

What are Casey, April, Irma, and Sunita's fashion sense like? Music taste? Favorite food? Favorite type of books/shows/movies? Least favorite food texture? Any specific neirodivergency or mental illnesses? What are they most insecure about? Do they all fight along side the turtles or aid them with their adventures?

Please tell me everything you can about Keno!!!

Do any of the humans get mutated at any point? Why does Donnie create retro mutagen?

Is spike mutant or yokai? Will he eventually be an ally to the turtles? Do have a design for him? Do they acquire other allies? Do you have any character designs we can have a sneak peek too?

Is Bishop and his hole thing in this au? Are the triceraton? Will there be professor Honeycutt/Fugitoid?

Do the O'Neil's have any other foster kids? Do they have an apartment or a house? What the layout of their place like? Which half of them makes April 1/4 Kraang?

In the new lair layout there isn't Splinters room, does he not live with them anymore? Or is it a more separate room?

I swear everytime I do this I feel like a crazy reporter or paparazzi running up to you just asking frantic questions I'm so sorry. Also sorry if these are repeated questions.

Sunita:

has autism swag

kidcore fashion sense (bright colors, chunky jewelry, ect)

they’re mostly insecure abt how she seems to not be able to fit in with human kids as well as with people in the hidden city

she likes hard rock (which contrasts with her personality and everything abt her (i think it’d be funny))

she doesn’t like the texture of celery bc of the fiver strands that make it hard to eat (for her)

she likes learning abt plants :))

her favorite food is mango pudding

she only aids them later on as ‘the man in the chair’

Casey:

he has add swag

the grunge fashion is strong with this one

he likes indie rock and rap

he’s insecure abt his past with his dad and mom, and the fact he doesn’t know much abt his own heritage from his father’s side.

he likes the percy jackson books

he does aid them in adventures as back up and muscle

April:

her brain is on default setting

casual fashion for a casual girl

she likes anything under ‘sad girl starter pack’

she rlly enjoys marvel and star wars

she aids them in adventures as a second opinion and back up

she’s rlly insecure abt her parents not paying attention to her as much with so many other kids in the household

Keno:

country bumpkin 2 da max

half Italian, half Korean

likes making pizza and pasta all day

oldest out of the entire group (in his early 20’s)

has a farm (passed down from his family)

neighbors with Casey’s old house (a mile down from the old jones’s house is keno’s house/farm)

they meet keno during the farmhouse arc

he is very friendly and acts as an older brother

I don’t think that any of them get mutated in the series but j might change my mind idk

Spike (Slash) is my au is a leatherback sea turtle that gets mutated!! She doesn’t ally them, but isn’t a bad guy either, she’s more of a morally grey vigilant.

i have no new official designs rn but after this latest arc i’ll defo post Slash’s design

Bishop will be in this au (still trying to find out his character tho) and yes mr honeycutt is in this au but he’s a robot assistant to irma 👍

these are the rest of the o’neil’s foster kids!! they live in a nice, two story house in the city.

april gets her 1/4 krang from her dad’s side (ik girls going through it)

splinter does live with them in the new lair, he’s just dubs his room as ‘the meditation room’ bc he’s an extra bitch like dat

thank you for the asks btw, don’t feel bad or worry abt it, i’m happy to talk abt my au!!

#sorry this took so long i kept putting it off lol #my au my rules #my au #my tmnt iteration #my tmnt au #teenage turtle ninja mutants #tmnt iteration #ask reply

Thanksgiving HCs, part 2: Family and Friends

VDL thanksgiving comes to be known as Breakup Thursday. Many have entered, few have survived. It is sort of generally agreed that if an S/O makes it through VDL thanksgiving and still wants to be with their gang member of choice, enthusiastically, they better start preparing their proposal, the S/O is a damned keeper.

The record for the most breakups on Breakup Thursday? John and Abigail, both for all-time and most times in a single day.

Instead of football, usually everyone participates in an after-lunch horseback ride because the ranch horses need to be exercised anyway, and there’s never any snow. No one will ever give it up, and it is sacrilege to suggest it. One of the breakups happened on Breakup Thursday because Mary-Beth brought some dudebro who “didn’t really do horses, man.” He was sent packing before the ride even ended.

Someone’s going to see an ass or worse, and it’s never, ever one they’d actually want to see. Too many times it’s Uncle’s. Swanson in particular has a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, though the psychologicall scarring of Breakup Thursday has visited them all, in some way or another.

There is no politics, no religion, nothing serious. Ever. And absolutely no guns or weapons of any kind. No one wants to see what happens when a common thanksgiving trope gets armed to the teeth and reaches its logical conclusion. It did not stop the group from nearly coming to blows over Star Trek vs Star Wars, though Kieran lost a tooth (he is surprisingly passionate about Captain Picard) and Javier ended up with a black eye.

Charles has never participated in VDL thanksgiving. It’s too hard for him. He prefers to visit the Wapiti, or join an Indigenous protest, or do something that feels truer to celebrating that side of his own heritage. It’s also a really, really welcome break from the gang, much as he loves most of them.

There has never been a year where someone brought an S/O and it didn’t devolve into Breakup Thursday. They made a “x years without a breakup” calendar, but they’ve never used it. It wasn’t always because of the outsider, either; John and Abigail are consistent contenders every year.

They thought they were going to get close once. Everyone was kind of walking on eggshells around John and Abigail, and it was all going surprisingly well. Until Pearson made an offhand comment about something mundane, and...well...this is the VDLs, it devolved from there, and, lo and behold, it ended up with an argument between Abigail and John and them breaking up again. It was briefly considered whether or not to allow Pearson in again after that.

I’ll tell you about the story very creatively called ‘Elrond and Elros have a baby sister’

It starts with the third kinslaying and Maedhros finding a feral child who looks A LOT like Elwing and tries to stab him with a kitchen knife. He tosses him in a closet, locks the door and goes to find Maglor to sort the situation. When they come back, there is another child, identical to the first, trying to open the closet. Maglor immediately decides to take them in for reasons I haven’t entirely figured out yet but there’s a lot of guilt in there.

Anyways, M&M take the twins with them. Elros, keeps glaring at them and biting everyone who tries to touch him and Elrond swears like a sailor and hisses at people. They refuses anyone touch their pack even tough it looks heavy. Until the pack starts crying. Because there’s a baby inside. Elrond admits he sung his little sister, Elrodel, to sleep when the Fëanorians first entered Sirion and she slept through the kinslaying and a good chunk of the journey to the Fëanorian camp. Maglor realises this child he just kidnapped not only looks like a tiny Lúthien but he also has a LOT of power. Also, he has to find a wet nurse asap.

The kidap fam finds some sort of routine, the twins grudgingly accepting to obey Maglor for Elrodel’s sakes. They take very seriously the task of telling her about her true parents and teaching her the little songs Elwing taught them. Times goes on, Elrond’s Song becomes more and more powerful and he also starts having visions of the future. Elros too has them in some measure but his thing is reading people’s mind. Elrodel is a hellion of a baby, always making so much noise and biting people once she stars teething and generally making M&M’s lives miserable. It appears that her part-Maia thing is turning into a seagull. Maglor freaks out the first time it happens in his presence and Elros is very blasé and says something along the lines of "yeah, she does that sometimes. Mind her beak, she bites." And gull-chick Elrodel immediately proceeds to bite Maglor.

Moving on to the end of the first age/early second age: the twins and Elrodel live at Gil-Galad’s court and Elrodel starts apprenticing with Círdan. She reminds him a lot of Eärendil, in both looks and temper (the feral part comes from Elwin and being raised by Maglor).

I kind of want to insert something about the Silmarils, with Elrodel using a loophole in the wording of the oath to try prevent M&M steal them and make the Oath void but I still haven’t figured this part out, mostly if she fails and things go as in canon or her risked plan works but M&M still end up badly because they’re too far gone. Either ways it’s be angsty.

But as Elros becomes a leader of Men and Elrond carves his place as the King’s Herald, Elrodel tries desperately to reconnect with the heritage and family she never knew and reject her Feanorian upbringing. She’s sarcastic and angry but also very sad and lost.

She spends a good part of the Second Age building a giant lighthouse on the isle of Hilming and inventing morse code to chat with Eärendil. She also works with Celebrimbor on a flying ship and calls it Nimgwael (white gull). Using both her skin changing ability and her ship, she works as a courrier between Númenor and Lindon and as an unofficial spymaster for the kings of both kingdoms until Elros’ death and only Gil-Galad afterwards. During the various wars of the Second Age, she uses the Nimgwael as an airforce with giant crossbows on her ship. It’s her was to reconcilliate her birth heritage and what she learned growing up with the Fëanorian.

At some point she marries a fellow sailor and they work on more crazy inventions and she’s Elrond’s children Cool Aunt.

And that leads me to the end of the Third Age where Elrodel pops up in Dale to ask the new King Bad if she can buy the corpse of Smaug because she needs dragon scales to repair/upgrade her flying ship as it’s the only material strong and light enough for this. Bard is suitably baffled but hd won’t refuse gold against getting rid of the dead dragon at the bottom of the lake. After that, I see Elrodel making aerial raids against Sauron’s forces during the War of the Ring with her little flying ship and she’s an asset in retaking the ships from the Umbar corsairs.

I don’t really have an ending appart that she sails West only after Arwen’s death. And in Valinor she will work hard to create a relationship with her parents she doesn’t even remember. Maybe she works shifts on Vingilot so Eärendil can spend time ashore with Elwing?

Also, maybe she finds Maglor pathetically wandering the shores and brings him home by the scruff of the neck…

And here’s my very long, very rambling post about this fic that has been living rent free in my brain for months but words seems to evaporate the second I try to write it 🤷🏻‍♀️
