Whiskey is out on a ranch many miles from home.#Nah. Whiskey is the thing someone is going to be meeting.#Whiskey take my mind....#take care of me. youre all ive got...#dont let her memory torture me#Maybe a heat stroke delusion? Maybe something luring a cowboy further away from a path that might lead them home?#im drowning in a whiskey riverrr#dont run dry...#Cowboy and mermaid maybe?#Ill figure it out#spirit of spring? or summer?

hi hi hello ❗❗❗
this is a test to see if my asks work but also werewolf nancy has been boinking around my head all day so im using this as an excuse to hear more of creature!nancy thoughts because all of ur creature aus have been boinking around like loose cutlery in a dishwasher because AAAAA creachureee nance i love that weirdo!! 💖👍
(anyway no pressure tho! feel free to ignore or reply with a marine bio gif or smth 👍🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈)
HI HELLO it's been a week and a half since this ask came in and i am so sorry BUT I DO HAVE SOME CREATURE NANCY STUFF FOR YOU (mostly werewolf nancy + ronance)
nancy's super sensitive to smells after her first full moon. she does this little nose wrinkle whenever she comes across a bad/different smell. all her senses are dialed up, and she can usually handle it, but smell is weird now. nothing bad, nothing too strong, etc. nancy always wrinkles her nose when robin comes back from family video bc she always smells like black licorice.
nancy uses her claws sometimes to (gently!!) massage robin's head. especially when robin's got a headache.
i just think the idea of nancy still wearing her cute lil earrings with her lil pointy ears is just <3
werewolf nancy is a biter. i stand by this. robin is covered in lil bite marks.
still thinking about that wild west ronance au where nancy (while she's not a monster or monster hunting) she dresses super feminine and "prissy" but it's all an act because it's really just to hide the fact that she's a werewolf (robin is a witch in this one i think. butch witch cowboy robin you are so real to me.) and nancy begins to go on a personal Journey (tm) the longer she's paired up with robin. this is an idea that spawned thinking about the trope of the monster hunter is ALSO a monster and self acceptance etc etc
for mermaid nancy i don't have a lot but (and i think we've talked about this) but i love the idea of like, a mermaid's kiss thing? where nancy kisses robin and yeah it's so robin can breathe underwater and see nancy's world, but it works like a true love's kiss thing. except robin doesn't believe in true love.
i also love the idea of like. lost in translation (is that the right phrase for it? idk) where robin gets nancy a gift or something or maybe sings a song or whatever and in mermaid culture that's considered like, courting and whatnot, so its the fun trope of one of them thinks they're dating and that they have been dating for a while and the other is completely oblivious.
sadly that's all i have for now :( but i love talking about creature nancy so !!!
#got mail! 📩#fishwear#AUGH I FORGOT ABOUT VAMPIRE NANCY.... :(#maybe some thoughts will spawn about vampire nancy soon idk#ronance#nancy wheeler#robin buckley#stranger things#werewolf nancy#mermaid nancy#need to flesh out butch witch cowboy robin a bit more i have ideas i have thoughts they are ruminating....

Having thoughts about the walrus fairy poll (a dangerous pass time, I know) and I'm trying to find a way to explain like... how a small inconsequential thing can be the harbinger of something more significant, and that that's where true comedy/terror/wonder lies.
A big part of my sense of humour is 'implication'.
When playing Cards Against Humanity it's basically a guaranteed laugh to play a card that just says 'a hat full of shit' but I find it funnier to play something that you have to think about for a fraction of a second before 'oh god no!' as you realise what's being implied.
(Nothing against the cards that say things like 'a monkey with a huge dick' - for one of my friends those are her absolute FAVOURITE cards. That's exactly her style of humour. Love that about her.)
But the idea that a fairy at your doorstep is 'easier' than a walrus at your doorstep doesn't track with me.
A walrus on your doorstep brings up so many questions, of course. How did it get here? How did it knock? Why didn't anyone notice, or did they notice? What's going on???
But even being able to engage with this bizarre situation is what makes it attainable. Yes it COULD have walked (dragged?) itself all the way here from the sea. Yes it could have escaped from a zoo or unethical neighbour. Yes it could have knocked on the door by messing around with it until it sounded like a knock that got your attention - or someone else knocked for it and then ran away and hid in a bush.
Ridiculous - sure - but something I can engage with.
A fairy at the door? Oh easy, it's just a fairy, and they can knock.
...except it's not actually that simple.
I have to argue with my mum about bigfoot sometimes (long story) and she tries to Occam's Razor me with this:
"You walk outside and there's footsteps from a bigfoot in the snow. Now what's more likely? That a person went out of their way to make fake-bigfoot shoes so they could leave footprints in the snow, and was so careful about it that they didn't leave any trace of their deception, and correctly matched the stride and weight of a much larger creature, and blah blah all these other complicated things they'd need to do, and no one saw them do it...... or that it was just a bigfoot going for a walk in the snow? Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So which of these two is simpler? I creature going for a walk or a human messing around with an extremely complicated and well executed prank?"
The answer is that a human doing it is simpler.
Even though it sounds more complicated. Even though it takes longer to explain. Even though it requires an element of luck to pull off. It is still the simpler explaination.
Why?
BECAUSE THE BIG PICTURE IMPLICATIONS.
If a bigfoot 'just went for a walk' it certainly sounds like a simpler explanation. Except that bigfoots don't exist. So if they did then we need to explain why one's never been seen, or heard, or caught. Why there's nothing that's disrupting the ecosystem like a bigfoot creature would. No plants or animals are getting eaten by this undetected creature. Why there's no hair, or poop, or DNA. Why there's no bones or fossils or corpses. Why there's no 'marks on trees' or whatever else things an animal/creature leaves behind when it lives somewhere. And why following the footprints into the wood never leads to finding a goddamn bigfoot at the end of the trail.
That's how I feel about 'a fairy on my doorstep is simpler than a walrus' because it's not, it's actually extremely more complicated than finding a walrus. Yes, even though the walrus has to do all this complicated stuff to be able to show up and knock on my door. It's not NEARLY as world-shattering as what finding a fairy on the doorstep would imply about reality as I understand it.
You're goddamn right I'd be surprised to find a fairy - especially in knowing that that's what it is.
That's right: I'm asking how do I know it's a fairy?
Do I just know? Do I just instinctively know what it is upon seeing it? How could I? Even with stories and media painting a picture for me of what a fairy might look like, why in the world would I know AND BELIEVE that the thing on my doorstep is a fairy? And yet apparently I do. I open the door and there is a fairy and I know this and believe this. I know and believe this as surely as if there were a walrus on my doorstep - a walrus being a thing I have never seen in real life, only in records and art, and yet if I met one I'd know it and believe it - you're telling me the same is true of meeting a fairy on my doorstep?
THE IMPLICATIONS!
Is the fairy affecting my brain in a 'BE NOT AFRAID' kind of way?
Is the existance and recognition of fairies actually already embedded in my brain? Maybe I have seen them before. Maybe I've seen them and they made me forgot, but now I see one again I instantly know what it is.
If there's one fairy are there more fairies? Where are they in the ecosystem? Why is there no evidence of that? Do they exist outside the ecosystem? Is fairyland real? A reality seporate from our own where all the fairies live? That's a hell of a thought.
Or is there actually a conspiracy to keep fairy existence a secret from regular people? Could such a thing work? Apparently it does work, because here's a goddamn fairy, they're real.
And on and on and on and on the horrifying implications, they don't stop, they keep spilling like a waterfall as all understanding of the world is washed away before the witnessing of this fairy on my doorstep.
Oh a walrus? Yeah, that's strange. It probably escaped from a zoo. How did it knock? I dunno, maybe they trained it at the zoo.
#fairy walrus#also running through my head are the following thoughts:#1) that post where someone rang a doorbell for a cat and walked away and realised what they'd done when a man answered and was surprised#2) putting fairy and walrus together somehow reminds me of that old thing about how mermaids are just manatees#3) that episode of the TV show Angel where there's a running joke about 'cowboys vs astronauts' cos that's what this is right now#4) also the title of a story called 'The Thing on the Doorstep' kept popping into my head during this. I think that was a Lovecraft one?#5) but yeah this was about being 'surprised' so maybe the thing you can't understand leaves you more numb than surprised? I'd still be shoo#and post

More Band!Au Sinclair HCs that no one asked for:
Au belongs to: @arkunder
Bo and Lester had a drinking contest on stage. Vincent was so disappointed.
They play rock-paper-scissors if one of them has to do an interview.
Ask Vincent about his hidden goldfish snacks! He has them hidden everywhere. He’ll just pull a little bag out of nowhere sometimes.
Bo is, indeed, in therapy. Not for drinking but for mental health.
They once live streamed Bo and Vincent playing chess for a charity event. They are both really good at playing.
Lester went off stage for a moment and came back with nachos. He didn’t play the drums for a set, so the twins did the heavy lifting.
The three brothers had the world’s hottest soup to see who can eat more. No one was surprised when Lester won.
They actually love playing catch! They have baseball gloves and a ball they bring. Before a show, they play catch and chill.
Vincent has a base that looks like a mermaid tail.
They went to a nursing home and played for an elder fan. She was 97 year old and loved heavy metal music. She died a few days after later. In honor of her, Vickey wrote a song and named it after her: “Lilith”.
One time, someone passed a fiddle to the stage and Bo took it. He opened up the case and started tearing into it. The crowd went nuts.
They have sibling tattoos. Bo has a sun, Vincent has a moon, and Lester has a star. It’s on their back.
Bo once sung in French during a song out of boredom. The girls and the gays went nuts.
Vincent likes smoking lavender cigarettes.
A kid placed a flower crown on Lester’s head. He nearly cried.
During a meet and greet at a convention, Bo held a crying baby and calmed them down to let the staff member take a little break.
Whenever they go to award shows, Bo wears his black suit and tie; Vincent wears a three piece suit with a Vincent von Gough themed tie; and Lester is in his finest blue jeans, shiny cowboy boots, a nice plaid, and wears his Luisiana belt buckle.
During an outside show, Lester came on stage with an opossum in his arms. Where did it come from? No one knows.
Whenever Vincent goes out to do charity work and Bo comes with him, the twins like to have fun! They’ll color and play with the kids, let them draw on their arms, and put things in their hair. At the end of the day, they do a group photo with everyone they spent time with and hang the photo in the bus. Vincent puts one in his base case.
Bo has an emotional support stuffie named Snuffles. It’s an alligator.
Vincent stopped the show and hopped off stage. Someone brought their cat and he wanted to pet it.
Speaking of cats, whenever they do an outdoor show, Vincent found a kitten stuck in the sound system under the stage. He crawled under the stage and brought them out. Shes named Soundwave and is loved by Jonesy and the fans.
Bo loves playing the piano before the show starts. He’ll come out in his heavy metal outfit and sits next to the keyboard and play classical music like Mozart.
On Saturdays during the summer, they take the day to go to farmer markets and pop-up sales in the little towns by the city. They wear ‘disguises’ when they go. Some people are able to figure them out, some don’t.
When Louisiana flooded, the boys went back home and helped cleaned up the town (I’m assuming Ambrose is still an alive town). Bo helps rebuild houses and sheds, Lester helps cleaning the mud and the muck along with returning any loose critters to the DNR for recovery, and Vincent cooks d and pass out food at a crisis center. If they have to, they’ll give blood.
SIDE NOTE:
Whenever they go home to Ambrose, everyone treats them normal as if they’re not famous. It gives them some space to breathe.
They don’t stay for too long, maybe a weekend or a week. If they stay longer, Bo is down at the garage, Vincent is in the art and hobby store, and Lester cleans up the roads and road kill. They also take this time to help their next door neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. They’re like grandparents to them.
They live in their own house while Trudy and their father are in the house from the movie. Because Trudy doesn’t approve of them doing this, she doesn’t visit them, and Victor ignores them.

The Sailor & The Mermaid | S.H.
You show Steve all the options you have for a Halloween couples costume — steve x fem!reader fluff
warnings: sexual-ish references
words: 0.8k
a/n: is it too early to post halloween related stuff? nah
You had even invited Steve over under the pretenses of you showing him Halloween costumes for a party with your all friends at the end of the month, but he had never really thought that was your main objective. He was wrong.
As soon as he knocked on the door, you had pulled him inside and sat him down on the couch. He still was under the impression you were using codes to get him into your pants—as if you need that—so his smile fell when you stood up from beside him and grabbed a pair of large, brown shopping bags.
“I bought a bunch, but I can return any that we don’t like, okay? So don’t feel bad for saying no to any of them.”
He already had a frown on his face. “Shouldn’t I be saying no to most of them? Why would we have more than one?”
You shook your head like it was obvious. “What if we want to do a costume change part way through the night?”
“How about I just nod like that’s something people do normally and you just start showing me the costumes?”
You just ignored his attitude because you knew it was going to change as you kept going. “So this is the first one. We can be Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein!” You held up two matching costumes, the one meant for you clearly much more nice than the large ripped suit meant for him.
“Sweetheart—”
You stopped him before he could complain. “I know what you’re going to say. ‘It’s actually Frankenstein’s Monster’, I know too, but it’s easier to say.”
“No, I was going to say I’m not putting on a bunch of green makeup for a costume. Just move on to the next one.”
You frowned to match him for just a second, then put the costumes on the arm of the recliner next to you. You reached into one of the bags and pulled out the next pair of costumes.
“Okay, and here we have Lois Lane & Superman.”
Steve replied instantly. “Pass.”
You knew this one would be a long shot too, but you still kept trying. “If you don’t want to wear the Superman outfit, you could just wear a normal suit and be Clark Kent.”
He rolled his eyes. “And dress like my dad at a party? Double pass.”
Your shoulders slumped. You had hoped Steve would be at least a little bit receptive to the outfits you were showing him. Instead of fighting him on it, you just moved on again.
“Okay, what about a cowboy and a cowgirl?”
He smiled, like he thought of a joke, then you found out what he was thinking when he spoke. “Save a horse, right, babe?”
You smiled and put the costumes down on the other arm than you had put the last two. A first in your ‘yes’ pile. “So you like them?” You asked happily.
Then Steve shook his head. “Sorry, babe. It’s just that we’re gonna stand out so much when all those nerds are dressed like lizard people or something like that.”
You reluctantly moved the clothes to the ‘no’ pile and then looked at the last costume in the paper bags. You sighed, lifting up the bag without showing him the costume yet.
“Okay, well, Stevie, this is my last costume. I was thinking maybe you can put on your Scoops Ahoy uniform from this summer…” You ignored Steve already shaking his head at the idea of wearing that get-up again and you pulled out the costume you had for yourself. “And I can wear this. We can be a sailor and a mermaid! Please tell me you like it.”
Steve didn’t say anything, instead he just stared at the sparkly tail and shell bralette in your hands. He blinked, and you were scared it was just because he thought it was too slutty and hated it.
“You would be wearing that at the party?”
Your head dropped slightly, and so did your voice. “Yeah, I mean, if it’s just gonna be you and our friends.”
“I love it.” He said honestly. “I’ll even wear that stupid uniform if it means you have that on all night.”
You sat next to him and pressed a giddy kiss to his cheek. “Really, Stevie?!”
He nodded and moved you to sit on his lap so he could finally do what he’s been wanting to do since you called him over. “I’ll be counting the days until Halloween.”

Sokeefe Week 2024 Prompts!
Sokeefe Week begins on January 1st and ends on January 7th, but creations will still be accepted and compiled for months after the date!
Prompts:
Day One: Royalty
This is a good day for soldier/poet/king in any combination, if you are so inclined. Thief, rebellion, bodyguard/knight, servant, arranged marriage/alliance, ball/cotillion/coronation, whatever you please!
Day Two: Escape/Return
Maybe Keefe is running away, or maybe you’re exploring a swap where Sophie does instead. Maybe it’s literal, or maybe they’re finding an escape in each other, or something else. Secret hideouts, Unlocked/Stellarlune fix-it, prison break, breakup/second chance, anything you want! Escape can be about running away, cowardice, terror, or acceptance. It’s about leaving, but can also be about coming back.
Day Three: Meet-Cute
First date (blind date?) or coffeeshop au, maybe their friends introduce them in college or school or work, same class first day of school, or even a rewrite of the canon first meeting?
Day Four: Enemies
Rivals in school or work, competing cafes or stores or businesses, opposites attract, born and altered and raised to hate, Neverseen vs Black Swan... you could probably slip some soulmate action in here too.
Day Five: Lies/Truth
Think about foundations. This is a good day to explore childhood, confessions, and secrets— all of which Keefe and Sophie have in multitude. Tearful or sweet or angry, this day can be about broken promises and kept ones. Growth and stagnation: two things that very clearly define our lovely ship.
Day Six: Fix-It
Is there a scene in canon that doesn’t fit? The characters don’t feel right, the scene is slightly off, the situation isn’t realistic? This could apply to any time Sophie and Keefe have a scene together or any time they didn’t: what can you change to explore new possibilities?
Day Seven: Free Day
Whatever you didn’t do before, do now! The possibilities are endless: soulmates, tattoo artist/flowershop, artist/musician, nightmares/dreams, cowboys, mermaids/pirates, mythology au, historical au, crossover fic, injuries, healing, dragons/shapeshifting, switched bodies or abilities, human au, college roommates, and anything else that comes to mind!
Guidelines:
Tag your host when you create writing, art, animatics, poetry, gifs, aesthetics, moodboards, songs, playlists, or anything that happens to inspire you! Tag the post with #sokeefe week 2024
Take the time you need to complete the prompts, no matter what the “dates” are!
Reminder: The prompts and ideas are suggestions, not constraints. Go wild!

Ivan: Cowboy, I'm not going to celebrate your satanic holiday, damn it, you're dressing up as some demons and you think I'll treat this as something normal?
Kolyadki
Ivan as a child:
Ivan: Kolyada, kolyada! Open the gates and take out the chests, give us coins, even a ruble (1), even a nickel (5), we will not leave you just like that. Give us a piece of candy, or maybe a coin, don't be a jerk, Christmas Eve is coming soon!
Ivan: On New Year's Eve I wish you an aspen coffin, a stake and a grave, and a sick mare (curse)
_______________________________
Maslenitsa
(Maslenitsa is a pagan holiday still celebrated in Russia. Meaning: people see off winter by burning an effigy symbolizing the Goddess of Winter Morena. People bake crepes. Crepes, at least in Russia, appeared as a funeral food, which is consumed during funerals. At the moment, crepes are a common dish, but crepes are still an important dish for Maslenitsa):
Ivan: Die, Morana (Goddess of Death/Rebirth/Winter.), die, die, die, yes yes yes, die
Ivan Kupala (Kupala Night):
There is very little information in the English wikipedia
The holiday combines two elements: pagan and Christian. Previously, this holiday existed independently, but after the baptism of Russia, the holiday acquired a Christian meaning and elements. The main feature of Kupala night is the cleansing bonfires. Around the fire, people danced, danced, sang Kupala songs, jumped over it: whoever is more successful and jumps higher, he will be happier. Girls jump through the fire "to purify themselves and protect themselves from dumbness, spoilage, conspiracies," and so that "mermaids do not attack and do not come for a year." Evil spirits come to life on this holiday, people performed certain rituals to scare away witches, mermaids and other evil spirits. Also, people wove wreaths of certain flowers, which also carry a magical meaning, women let such wreaths on the water to tell themselves an early wedding or a long life. Also on this holiday it is customary to look for a fern flower, which according to Slavic beliefs, the fern blooms only for a moment, on the night before Ivan Kupala (on June 24 [July 7 in Russia]); it is very difficult to pluck a flower, especially since the evil spirit prevents this in every possible way and intimidates a person, in some cases depriving him of reason, speech, memory. Picking the flower of a fern and keeping it with him acquires unusual possibilities. Man becomes visionary, can understand the language of animals, see all the treasures.

I made this!
@chibinightowl encouraged me long, long ago to actually write. And I finally was not tired enough to sleep but apparently exhausted enough to write this little thing AND think it was funny. It's less than 1000 words which irritates me to no end. I'm extremely proud of it as it's my first fanfic in decades. And I haven't deleted it off the face of the earth yet, so it deserves to be talked about!
Yes, the title is in reference to Cowboy Bebop because I am a fandom old.
Mushroom Hunting
by me
He could do this. It was just stairs. Stairs to his apartment. Item number one. He was so tired.
Step.
One foot in front of the other. Inhale. No, he can't. Collapsing on the stairs would be unbecoming.
Step.
Step again.
Rinse. Repeat. Forever. He could do this. Exhale.
Step.
Stupid stairs. Stupid apartment.
Step.
How many stairs does a place need to have, anyway? Surely this is too many. Dick looked longingly at the landing. Maybe he could rest. The carpeting was stained and worn. Rats. Were there rats on this landing? Better not chance it.
Step.
He used the handrail to haul himself up another step. Around the corner. Too tight a corner. His hip hit the handrail and he glared. It was put there specifically to trip him up. He just knew it. He was going to make sure the new apartment didn’t have handrails. Yeah. That would show them.
Step.
His sneaker toe brushed the edge of the next step, exerting no more effort than he had to, and slid into the riser.
He was pretty sure he was going to die before he got to his apartment.
Step.
Sleep forever. Sleep would be so good right now. He smiled and thought about curling up on the floor of his apartment in front of the door. He would be safe.
Step.
He could close the door and curl up right there against the door. Of course, if there was a fire, they wouldn’t be able to get the door open if he was sleeping in front of it. It would suck to die by fire when everything else Gotham had thrown at him had missed.
Step.
Jason would laugh at him. He missed Jason. He missed sleep. A yawn split his face and he blinked until the stairs came back in focus.
Step.
Just a little further. Warm comfy, safe, apartment floor. No. Fire on the floor. Bed. But couch?.
Step.
Keep going. Stairs will also not be the death of you. They’re just stairs. So many steps to get where he wanted to be.
Step… and stumbled forward as he belatedly realized he’d found the top of the stairwell. He braced himself against the left wall and used it as a guide down to his door. Good. Turn the knob, achieve his objective.
Locked.
He softly knocked his head against the doorway and thought really hard about just crying right here. Deep breaths. The goal was in sight.
What’s the next step? Locked door needs… key. Right. Hand strayed to pant pocket, fumbled through random flotsam and jetsam… chuffs a soft laugh. The Little Mermaid. I bet she gets to sleep. How did she sleep? On the ocean floor? On a cave ceiling?
Key! Oh, the key has been found. Key, doorknob, open. Apartment sweet apartment. Safety.
Key in hand and fumbled. Exhausted fingers. Stupid, tired, busted up fingers. He scowls at the key. What would he have done if this was grated flooring? He despairs as his numb mind sees the key slip through the grate out of his sight a floor or so below. He shakes himself from the vision. New items added to list. Bend, grab key, doorknob… oh, knees creak. That’s fun. On the way down and on the way up too. Awesome. He’ll have to stretch out or he’ll get stiff. Add another thing to the list. At the bottom. Least important right now.
Key gets fumbled into lock, door opens.
Achievement unlocked; final boss defeated.
Lights slowly brighten, heat kicks on, and Dick shivers suddenly freezing. Temperature had been so far down the list of things for him to worry about he’d forgotten how cold the night had turned. Having achieved his goal, he has just enough energy to toe off his shoes and shuffle them aside in some semblance of order. A trail of clothing is left along the floor as Dick sheds the last of his trials.
He’s freezing again. And it’s suddenly too much. His palms push into his eyes sockets as he takes a steadying breath. Sorts out his next move. Sofa. Big fluffy blanket. Comfy sofa, warmth. But pants. If he has to leave quickly; please, please, just let him rest, he won’t want to stop and find a pair of pants before he has to go. His jump bag is right next to his shoes. Well, close to his shoes, he remembers putting them there. Oh yeah. Pants. Decisions, decisions.
In his mind he runs through scenarios where he might need pants. He sees his siblings’ horror, has a whole scene where Steph climbs through the window and then mimes stabbing out her eyes as she yells about his nakedness. In his own apartment. She can’t do that. His brain now fully working up worst case scenarios, see’s Batman climb in behind Stephanie…
Stop.
Here there be dragons.
Nope. He does not want to think about that.
Full stop.
He takes another fortifying breath. He’s a sensible man, he thinks anyway, as he stands in his underwear in the middle of his apartment with his hands over his eyes and he CAN go find some damn pants. Then bed. Better than couch, he agrees. With himself. He twists around the couch to grab the fluffy blanket and before the absolute last of his resolve drains away, goes to find pants. Dragging the blanket behind.
Pants.
Bed.
Fluffy blanket.
Cover
Sleep
All comfy and burrito’d sufficiently, he closes his eyes.
And needs to pee.

ELEMENTAL REALM / ECLECTIC CHAMBER OCS!
Hiiiiiii first art post I'm sharing publicly! This has been a month in the making but it's so worth it. These are a handful of characters in my OC universe, the Elemental Realm! AKA the Eclectic Chamber, I'm currently going through a name change from elemental realm to eclectic chamber. Don't worry about that.
Italicized names mean those are placeholders while I still try to come up with a better name. For some, those placeholders have been there for years :P whoops
These comprise pretty much all the significant characters I have (with a guideline of appearing in at least 2 stories although there's some exceptions). There are roughly another 100 or so characters that I opted not to include because they're either not as significant, I don't have an interesting design for them, or I just didn't feel like it. Full namedrop behind the read more in case you're interested! Maybe I'll do a part 2 of this in a year or so, who knows.
If there's any characters here that tickle your fancy, shoot an ask or a comment for me to infodump about them! Quality of infodumping may vary, especially considering I still have to step around spoilers and whatnot, but I'm very interested to show you how these characters have been sculpted in my head over these past several years. (Also, I will be revealing some info about the story ideas I already have in mind for the Elemental Realm soon, so stay tuned for that!)
Uhhhhhh yeah. Hopefully I'm not forgetting to say anything important. I really love what I made lol I hope I can finally start moving this universe outside of my head and into the world ^_^

Get to know me
I did the other one going around so I’m choosing the ones not on that one.
@honestlydarkprincess @buddierights @thewolvesof1998 @cowboy-buddie
Nicknames spot spotty spots socks - my real name is too short to be turned into a nickname
Zodiac Scorpio
Height 5ft 2
Fav music an eclectic mix of Malin’s y anything
Followers I’m only a tiny blog and I’m surprised the 449 followers I have are there at all
Following 369
Do you get asks i do from mutuals and the occasional anon and it makes me happy
Amount of sleep eek- it’s not good… a good night woukd be 5-6 hours uninterrupted but more likely 3hrs and then maybe a few more and it’s been like that for over 15 years now! No wonder I forget stuff
What are you wearing a mid length dress blue and white flowery patter which I’m rather fond of - I think I look nice in it
Dream job well I chose what I do when I was 16 ish and trained for it and been doing it a long long time now so while it has its frustrations and we’re horribly underfunded it’s what I do and who I am and I wouldn’t change it
Languages English and trying to learn Spanish
Random fact
Aesthetic not sure! I like pretty things and pretty dresses and castles and the woods and the ocean and myths and dragons and mermaid and all the colours- make of that what you will
Tagging all my mutuals and anyone else who wants to do these

Any Halloween costume ideas for Wonder and The Other Phantom Thieves? Not including Cattle because I believe we decided on Cowboy for him though if you want to make alternative costume for him I won’t complain. :D
Oh, that's a fun question! Thinking about the silly costumes the Phantom Thieves had in P5D...
Wonder as a sorcerer (as a similar-but-different sort of costume to Joker's wizard one)
Motoha as a werewolf sort of fits her, to me? She can be excitable, and isn't afraid to jump into things for the people she cares about, which is kind of a dog vibe, haha
Shun as some kind of like horror movie killer (someone with a butcher knife- I'm imagining it's vaguely related to his chef interest after maybe Motoha or someone convinced him to dress up, so it's really a sort of "murderous chef" vibe?)
Seiji as like a fairytale prince, like the vibe of his All Out Attack finisher
Mont as a yuki-onna, for the snow - ice skating connection
Yukimi as a robot (both in reference to the sort of robotic appearance of her Persona, but also the sort of "defying her programming" of disagreeing with her mother)
Tomoko as a mermaid (as a reference to her Persona)
Kiyoshi as a vampire hunter, maybe specifically based on Abraham Van Helsing? I'm trying not to get too specific with these choices, but in his case I think that's sort of a fun mix of his interest in the paranormal, while not directly what he thinks is going on (psychic powers), mixed with the exorcist theme of his Metaverse outfit
Kayo as an angel, to contrast the possibly-spoiler information from the game files about her, and also to contrast the somewhat more disruptive/irresponsible vibe that I've seen gyaru characters tend to have in media?
Yaoling as a Jiangshi could work if the devs want to keep up a pattern of tying her more directly to Chinese culture, but I could also see her as maybe just going as a more stereotypical Western culture vampire otherwise (though maybe that would be strange if Kiyoshi's dressed as a vampire hunter? Perhaps a zombie instead?)
Leo being a superhero would be the obvious choice, but might be a little too close to his Metaverse outfit, so maybe something more like a space-age, retrofuturistic hero would work better here? Something sort of between Flash Gordon and Buzz Lightyear, maybe, haha.

I'm in the mood for some Sun & Moon AU fics. I need more of them.
Mermaid Sun and Moon? Yes please. Be that with a mermaid or human Reader, I don't care. Just yes. A human scuba-diving that sees these giant sea creatures and is utterly confused? Or a human that just wants to get their coursework finished and wasn't expecting some mysterious being to be landlocked? Or a mermaid that swims into the wrong territory, getting into an area that's a little bit too dark. I love it.
Alien Sun and Moon? Delicious. Scrumptious. Robot aliens? That's cool. Biological aliens? That's also cool. Just space is cool. Maybe Reader is the captain of a spaceship or maybe they just work on one. Maybe they're exploring planets or working as an asteroid miner. Either way they now either have look after an alien or they have to survive one.
Fairy Sun and Moon. Royal Sun and Moon. Deity Sun and Moon. Cowboy Sun and Moon. Demon Sun and Moon.
Hell, gimme crossovers too. I don't usually read them but an SCP Sun and Moon? That would work wonderfully.
#fnaf sun#fnaf moon#I'll sort out how I write the tags eventually#plus I might actually make a list of ideas and prompts for some of these#I adore AUs too much not to#I will if I remember at least#toonce offtopic
