*sips tea* it's dumb crossovers time

I guess here King Arthur was a real dude who became legend after his death (in which demons and angels might have been involved). Our heroes now have a mystery to solve, with the help of a certain sorcerer.......

How would Starlo's family react to this new monster kid that is a cross between a fox, bird, and whatever Starlo is? Cause I'm just saying, Clover does share his tail, side head things, and yellow spots with Starlo, so it's safe to assume that Clover related to Starlo, from their perspective at least.

Or do they already know about the whole situation?

Either way, I'm imagining Starlo's parents looking at Clover and thinking "this is probably the closest we'll get to grandkids" and just start doting him.

IM SO GLAD U ASKED ABOUT THEM BC I WAS THINKING HOW SWEET THEY WOULD BE!!!! and then i got to draw it >:]

they are so smitten with clover after they get introduced by starlo. they kind of met with clover in the underground and after starlo told them all what happened, they respected clover a lot and saw the change they made to ceroba and star. so once theyre back they’re like welp. new grandchild!

orion (i think thats his name?) is like the older cousin u have that just thinks the younger kids are cringe. he cares but does not show it at all. crestina is NOT letting starlo say anything bad to clover. solomon big fun grandpa :]

#asked and answered #monster clover au #mcau doodle #mcau lore #i imagine the talk between star and his family is like #‘they look a lot like you and ceroba and martlet. did you guys get together? and you decided to make a child without letting us know??’ #‘was it an accident. please be honest’ #starlo: what. what. what are you talking about #(i imagine monsters are made through magic. so kids can have multiple parents. i cant remember if there was a canon way but this is my au #AND POLYAMORY KIDS ARE REAL HERE 💥) #also feeling the regret of making starlo lizardlike trying to design these guys on the fly

This is the post where I admit I have a psychonauts 2 future au in which everything is normal except mythological creatures, aliens, etc are real and many hide as humans. This au is about how some of these characters would deal with the reveal and the secrets their friends and family have been keeping from them.

I’ve largely built the world as a separate original story but it’s a perfect playground to throw these characters in. I couldn’t help myself.

Magic!ANON Lin Beifong has been turned into a toddler and Tenzin has to watch her until she can be turned back.

Their arrival on Air Temple Island was heard before it was seen. Tenzin landed from his glider and marched right up to the officer, anger evident in his voice as he shouted over the screaming little girl that Saikhan dragged along with him.

"What are you doing to that child!?"

A young girl of about four or five years old screamed in frustration as she struggled to free herself from the grip that Saikhan had on her arm. "Big fat ugly meanie! Let me go!" She shouted as she used the whole weight of her body to try and pull away.

"Tenzin, something shot out of the spirit portal and went right through Beifong. This is her." He gestured to the child who was now stomping on his feet and biting at the metal of his uniform. "It was incredible. About eight of us saw her shrink down, and this is all that was left over."

"What?!"

Tenzin leaned down to get a better look at the girl and saw her dark hair and familiar pale green eyes. "Lin?"

She growled at him sent some nearby fist-sized rocks flying at his face. He easily ducked under them, their movements too slow to be a threat. Apparently her bending prowess had diminished as well as her age.

"Korra and Jinora are already helping us try to figure out how to fix this, but Tenzin..." he hesitated.

The airbending master stood fully. "Out with it, Saikhan."

"We can't keep her at the station any longer. She's already figured out the basics of metalbending, and she's wreaking havoc on the unit's concentration to figure this out. I can't trust any old daycare to take her, she bullied my children and nearly destroyed my house. I can't leave her unsupervised. Will you watch her until we find a way to change her back?"

Lin's small fist pounded into the man's metal sleeve, leaving tiny dents behind. "LET! ME! GO!"

Tenzin got down on a knee to be at eye level with her. "Hello," he said gently. "My name is Tenzin." Lin turned her angry eyes on him. "Would you like to stay on the island for a little while?"

"No! I want to go home!" She shouted.

Tenzin's concerned eyes flicked up to Saikhan and back to Lin. "Where is home?"

"I-- I--" Her struggle fizzled out to weak pulls. "I don't know but I'll find it!" Tears filled her defiant eyes.

He knew from being a father that sometimes it was best to distract children away from their big emotions. Tenzin put a warm smile on his face. "If you want to stay here, I have two daughters who love to make new friends and a son your age who likes fart jokes." Lin's bottom lip pushed her top one up into a frown. "I'll tell Meelo to hold off on the fart jokes," he quickly amended.

"Daddy, daddy!" Ikki yelled as she rode her air scooter down the hill towards them. "You'll never guess what kind of rock I found. Look at it! It's pink and white and when I lick it and hold it up in the sun you can see a rainbow. Auntie Kya loves rainbows." She dismounted from her scooter and leaned in close to Lin. "Hello! I'm Ikki, welcome to Air Temple Island! Would you like to know how many trees there are? What's your name?"

Lin stared at Ikki blankly. "Ikki," Tenzin said, "this is Lin. She might be staying with us for a little while if she wants to."

"Oh! I have an Auntie named Lin!" Ikki jumped up and down and clapped her hands rapidly. "She's the coolest. She can bend metal and has cool face scars and she's even my dad's ex-girlfriend but he doesn't like to talk about it. Have you ever seen a sky bison before?"

Young Lin was completely baffled by the child before her. Her struggle against Saikhan had ceased. Tenzin offered out his hand. "Would you like to see a sky bison?"

Curious pale green eyes looked up at him and she nodded. Her small hand reached out and grasped at his fingers. Tenzin nodded for Saikhan to let her go. He led the two children up to the bison stables for their first activity of the day.

#anon #magic anon #tenzin #lin beifong #ikki #anon ask #what do you call this like a kid au or something? #anyway i don't know anyhting about children #they take Oogi on a ride and lin totally barfs #by the end of the day she is laughing with meelo about his farts

Per waterpark au, you mentioned that they were able to retain water in their frame to add to their weight. Do they have any other useful skills built in?

You've yet to mention any human employees, and we already know they double as Life Guards, so I'm curious if they're able to imitate breath for CPR as necessary or if there's a proper nurse of sorts on-site for these cases. I'm curious about all of it actually. The whole AU. Like every square inch of it in fact (<<< withholding 742 more questions, visibly frothing at the mouth)

Oh ho ho!!!! I see you caught onto that lil detail hehe

Yes they have that feature built in for heavy duty labor and emergency purposes only. One of those purpose being minor construction. As of currently there are no human employees so when the park needs maintenance the sun and moon are the brawn to get the job done! Lil fun fact the park did have human employees during the first two years of the park being opened, but not in the sense you might be thinking. The waterpark is a branch of the Fazz Company but it was a very experimental one. Having animatronics mixed with water, the chair heads weren’t entirely confident in its popularity so they didn’t focus much of their attention on it during it’s construction so a small team came together to build it as a sort of passion project that could function on its own without much leadership. Hence on opening 3 types of animatronics were designed to run and maintain the waterpark. The only human employees were designers, marketers, financial advisors and other outside overseers of the park.

After the two years Sun and Moon gained ownership of the waterpark under some minor agreements. The park still has an attachment with Fazzco and all of the shares that aren’t going towards the waterpark directly go to them, other than that they released all the other responsibilities to our two animatronics. It’s not the greatest deal but Fazco doesn’t stick their nose into their business and the boys are free to do as they please with how they want to run their waterpark!

(And yes the boys are able to perform CPR haha, they can blow up a tube within 6 seconds! They also can fool around and blow the hats off of guest, it didn’t take poor y/n long to find out about that)

#Hi muzz!!!! #it’s not that sun and moon don’t like having human employees they just like handling everything themselves #they like to be more in control of something so precious to them #but dang muzz now you got me thinking about sun and moon performing cpr aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #the park is so dang baby proof they don’t get to exercise that ability much #need to group together some volunteer y/n’s to help with practice #also i like that the park had a lot of love put into its design and not built by some commercialized money grabbing people #the team was happy to release something magical into the world then take a step back #but trust my the animatronics had to work really hard to get to where they are and keep what they have especially sun #sb daycare attendant #Daycare attendant au #waterpark au #WP au asks #waterspark

Dark fantasy AU?

-In hindsight, as he's being chased through the forest, hunted by mythical creatures is not where Reggie thought he'd end up when his folks told him they were moving to Los Angeles. Honestly, considering how he used to roam the woods and fields near his Meemaw's farm, the fact that he'd stumbled into a fairy circle near the beach was almost insulting.

-It's not even that he manages to outrun them. It's that one night (he thinks it's night, though time moves differently here and light and dark are all tangled up and is the purple haze of the sky supposed to be dusk or dawn or just a dark stop of the forest?) he'd decided to just... give up.

He couldn't remember how long he'd been running, running from the pounding of hooves and the yapping of dogs that did not look anything like what a dog should look like. He couldn't remember a time where he wasn't hungry, or thirsty, or tired, but something inside of him just kept making him run and run and run

-But he'd had enough. So he just sat down, with his back towards the noise, and hoped they'll kill him quickly. And to comfort himself, he sang the lullaby his Meemaw used to sing when he was scared of the thunder.

-That's what saved him. One of the fae, Caleb, was so charmed by the song that instead of doing whatever it is they did with their prey, he bundled Reggie up and took him to his... castle. Dwelling. Domain.

-He was dressed in finery and made to sing as Caleb and the other fae danced and ate and did things that Reggie very much had not wanted to see, thank you very much. But eventually, they slept, and Reggie met... the other humans who were trapped here.

-Luke, a young boy who had run away from home to become a musician in 1875. He was distraught to hear Reggie tell him it was the nineties now. Even more distraught when Reggie clarified it was the 1990s.

-There was Alex, who had been cast out of his village for reasons he did not want to share, but that Reggie figured out pretty quickly when he saw the way he looked at Willie. He'd fallen asleep near a fairy circle, and the promises he'd been made had been so tempting, he'd said yes before he fully understood the deal.

-And then there was Willie. The boy who had been stolen from his parents, a changeling left in his place. Who had grown up here, a part of this world yet not really. Who did not know what the other boys meant when they talked about years, or America, or really the whole concept of 'family'.

-Luke's the one who tells them of their escape plan. Alex is worried they can't trust Reggie not to rat him out to Caleb, and Reggie is like: um excuse me I was just hunted for sport for who knows how long you think I wanna help that guy?

-But before he can Willie just tilts his head and says: his heart is pure.

-Which is very sweet but also a little creepy.

-Anyway, they do manage to escape Caleb's clutches somehow, and end up back in the human world.

-Being yeeted out of a little ring of mushrooms in the soil of a plant Ray overwatered in the big plant wall of the Molina studio was not particularly pleasant, okay. Considering a real human should not be able to fit through that. But Willie explained that as soon as a fairy portal grew, it was only a manner of time that the fairies would notice it and stake it out to see what they could lure to their realm.

-Somehow, Luke and Alex get thrown clear across the room, Luke slamming against the door, Alex dropping onto the concrete floor.

-Reggie's not sure if him crashing against a pretty wooden piano is better or worse. The sound it made was definitely worse.

-Somehow, Willie ends up sitting crosslegged on the little piano bench, and he turns and quickly crushes up the mushrooms to destroy the portal.

-Julie, of course, is screaming, Alex and Luke and Reggie are screaming. Willie is trying to explain to Julie she over-watered her fern and pouts when she runs away.

-No they're not ghosts but they are changed and they all have weird powers. Luke nearly cries with joy that he can still summon his guitar. Alex is really not okay with this whole 'walking through walls' thing. Reggie is sad he cannot summon a puppy or a pizza.

-Willie can teleport short distances and is shocked to learn humans can't just do that? You have to walk everywhere? Or ride a horse. What's a car? What's roller skates? He needs to see one of these skateboad things immediately, let's summon the human girl back to ask for one. What can they trade for a skateboard?

-They're kind of freaked out at the whole 2020 thing, but hey, Reggie's like: at least it hasn't been a hundred years like when I told Luke about the 90s.

-Queue canon but it's even worse and more chaotic.

I see your cryptid nightmare Merlin and raise you, cryptid-by-association Hunith. Like, it's canon that other magic beings have an innate ability to sense Emrys, and she's spent almost 20 years being surrounded by his magic, so now she just has this unseen aura of Not To Be Fucked With, By Order Of Emrys. On market days, she takes a shortcut to the next town through a Very Haunted Forest and it's like:

Dryad 1: Bro, there's a human in our forest, the fuck?

Dryad 2: Bite your fucking tongue, Carl, that's Hunith.

Dryad 1: Whoa, Emrys's mom?

Dryad 2: Emrys's mom. So put your fucking roots down and be nice.

Dryad 1: Oh, shit, yeah, totally, my bad.

Dryad 2: She's really nice, too. Watch. Hi, Hunith!

......

Hunith: *hears the trees rustling without a breeze*

Hunith: *raised a child that regularly spoke to plants, bodies of water, and animals*

Hunith: Good afternoon, lovely day, isn't it?

........

Dryad 1: Oh, she is nice!

Dryad 2: Told you.

A sorcerer in the market town sees Hunith come strolling idly out of a forest that has a Known history of trying to Actively Murder Trespassers and is just like, "What the actual fuck?"

i moved my queue 2 hours later because i didn't want this to get drowned out because YES

we've now seen cryptid eldritch horror that is emrys aka merlin, but anon is asking the right questions. who does the cryptid horror better? who started it first? who is ignorant to the abject terror they insight on magical people because of how they surround themself with???

why hunith of course!

#tbh i dunno what else to add anon you summed it up perfectly #also every sorcerer hunith meets she flirts with because there's just something about magic users for her idk #that sorcerer in the market who stared at her in awe and fear? she winked at them and asked them out #imagine balinor coming back to help merlin and maybe rekindle old flames with her and learns that she's got a long list of lovers #lovers who (despite their annoyance/fear/anger of her godly son and his ungodly powers) would do anything for her #actually: hunith's life is mama mia but with magic and a fantasy au #where was i going with this? idk i'm tired it's passed 12am #bbc merlin #hunith #all hail hunith the mother of emrys #merlin emrys #headcanons #bamf merlin #bamf hunith #Anonymous #asks

The Cursing || Wonders of The Hills

Accompanying (almost) Double Drabble under the cut.

The Great Fire of Village

He left the Village in flames. Chaos and screams of terror as the lives were burning before one's eyes were a perfect distraction. In the panic and rush of the fight with an element, anyone rarely paid attention to the actions of one Man. It was all he needed. Only one bag was putting weight onto his shoulder. With his loyal dog by his side he stood in the forest. It was chilling and empty. All sounds swollen by the cracking and yelling carried by the wind. A dead forest, on the day of his death. An only fitting farewell. 

Unknowingly for him, a Knight in armor black as obsidian and cape red as blood followed his trail. No good deed ever happened to those who desert the army of The Red King, and the Man wasn’t just a common knight either. Once an ally now looking with hostility he pursued the chase. The confrontation that followed was heated yet left both of them unharmed. The Man fleeing into the dark forest. The Knight turned back, bolting to help the villagers and to report the encounter to his beloved liege. 

Even if unharmed that night, the Man soon taste the wrath of the overruler of this land, as a curse was placed on his mortal spirit. One so cruel for a man who weeped for freedom, as his own body became a prison, as a Man changed into a Beast.

Should I pick up my DNF Familiar AU again? With Familiar!Dream and Prince!George who is running away from his kingdom? I didn't upload it for a LONG time. I think almost 2 years or so because I didn't have time and lost motivation T_T

Im gonna be real with you, anon; if you don't have the motivation, then don't force it. :/ That's a one-way trip to burn out.

Now, if you can Get yourself motivated again by thinking back to how you got the idea in the first place, or reworking the plan to make it feel fresh, talk to people about it to get fired up, then I support you wholeheartedly!!! But continuing purely off of some sense of obligation or guilt is never a good idea.

hhhhhhhhhhhh saboace royalty au. ace was crown prince but can’t use magic which is necessary to become king, so he renounces his title and becomes infamous for his eccentric tendencies to play up the illusion that he’s truly not meant for the throne and that his younger sibling has full rights to the title of heir.

sabo is born to a family serving in the royal court, has been a genius magician since he was a child, and is the perfect example of a young man fully educated to serve at the king’s side. which is why he’s allowed himself to be tied down into a loveless political engagement with the king’s heir, putting the whims of his family before his own and resigning himself to become the future ruler’s consort/spouse to legitimize his role as an advisory right-hand man.

but then the heir grows rebellious and denounces the engagement with sabo in public and ace swoops in to save the day (and sabo’s reputation), demanding his father give sabo to him instead. he steals sabo away and challenges his sibling’s right to the throne, intent on earning back the title not for himself, but so he can make sabo (who is heavily qualified to rule) the king - and since they’ll be wed, no one will be able to undermine sabo’s position as he will technically be part of the monarchy that governs the kingdom.

Platonic sebezra, circus au?

Oh-ho-ho I did NOT expect this prompt to take root the way it did. Ahem. But here's a little ficlet that doesn't even begin to touch the depths of brain rot you've given me

“You’re the new tightrope walker, right?”

Sabine didn’t look up from lacing up her shoes as she replied, “Looks like it.”

This wasn’t where she’d expected to be— a circus in the middle of nowhere, barely breaking even. Clearly, it wasn’t as popular as it used to be. Everything made that clear, from the worn out waistcoat that the ringmaster had been wearing when he hired her and the threadbare costumes hanging on a rack near her, to the fact that the tent was still nearly empty, and it was fifteen minutes until show time.

But she’d gotten stuck, and she needed the money. And luckily, she was good at more than one thing. Tightrope walking would be easy.

Rising, she turned towards the arena— and froze, coming face to face with a lion.

Her instinct was to scream, her second to run or fight. But instead, Sabine deliberately tensed her muscles, feeling the panic race through her, silently counting to five. When she reached five, she let out a long exhale, then lifted an eyebrow at the orange clad boy standing behind the lion.

“Let me guess,” she said. “Lion tamer?”

He grinned. “How’d you guess?” With a quick whistle, he called the lion back, and it settled next to him, looking like nothing so much as an over large cat. “I’m Ezra, and this is Jasmine.”

“Sabine. This how you greet all your new coworkers?”

Shrugging, Ezra said, “Only the ones who can handle it. And it looked like you could. Besides, it’s a good test of who’s going to stick around.”

Sabine had no intention of sticking around. This job would, hopefully, get her enough money to make it to her next destination, and then she would move on.

But for now, she just nodded. “Looks like I passed.”

“Looks like it,” Ezra said with a grin. “Welcome to Circus Spectres.”
