I hate this canon (affectionate) but what I really loathe is the expectation to emotionally process new additions that I won't like (derogatory)
#tfw i am just. so. contemptuous of an ongoing canon grrrrrrrr#me reading summaries of Dooku Jedi Lost: you are copying the Darth Plagueis(novel) homework just altering it#me: *Tenth Doctor voice* hate Planet of the Hats. most of the time.#me: that is to say WHY must you backstrapolate that all ancestors are vaguely sinister#me (re Ramil): why the fuck is EVERY-freaking-BODY into racing? why couldn't he have a Different hobby like#model trains or amoebas or bagpipes or extreme ironing or cat photography or sprouting or bookbinding?! ...#me: I do not believe this is how the concept of count works this could be actually worse than Is There A College IN YOUR COUNTY?#(he's gotta be like... ahem. “Fifth in line for the throne” technically. it's just the rest of the succession is ~defunct. shhhh)#... you've lost touch with the original PT This Is How Anakin 🙂 Falls...#*bared teeth* jedi propaganda#(I think I could better like a crack fic where his “brother” is. hell. a cricketing Valeyard and he is technically from a different planet#*cough* Shparoi *cough* except his only contact with its famous export is they once both touched the same goose by incredible coincidence#*checks notes* technically and philosopically Yes connected but of Insignificant magnitude granddaughter Rey)#this started when Rakkety Tam was the most recent book I could procure. far more calmly with But It Won't Be As Special#after I um. ficced wildly for certain characters#'S absolutely full fledged very much how I have felt practically always about H/P after I read as far as I could then#loved the fic community but! I didn't have to care for very long if they Got My Blorbos All Wrong#bc you see they don't have the power to far-reaching wreck canon or go ardently transphobic and claim fandom of#books that scarcely address the topic is support for it :/#I do not feel like I Can Fan Correctly! 🙃

we talk a lot about how everyone needs to have healthcare and were usually talking about in the us but i really need ppl to also start addressing that in places like the midwest where towns and cities tend to be very small, few, and far, ummmm we straight up need places that OFFER what we need and take our healthcare lmao
Tumblr media
a couple years ago i chipped a tooth at the corner and got it filled but it got knocked out while i was flossing a couple months ago and i was ignoring it but now the tooth is cutting into the soft parts of my mouth and i straight up dont know what to do bc that filling was $400 and thats more than i even make in a pay period AND i cant even go anywhere within an hour of where i live to get it fixed 🤩
also people who want to move to the midwest because its “cheaper to live there”. dont because not only is it not but its harder to leave once youre here lol

I wonder what people from other countries think when Americans mentioned what state they're from. Do they have any idea what that state is like? I mean I bet they have as much of an idea as me for a lot of countries, very vague. It is "just" states within a country, we can't expect people to know about it. When a lot of Americans don't know much about other states... tho to be fair there are a lot of them. The US is vast. We don't really have a conception of it and you can't even being to until you travel extensively. But people from other countries probably see a skewed version of us from movies, the media... they can only see from the outside while we see from the inside (and millions of individual perspectives). They probably only know mostly about New York, California, Texas, and Florida. There's a lot more to US. A lot more nuance. A lot of states that tend to be overlooked but are also worthy of attention... underrated places it would be fun to go to/learn about. So many interesting corners of the world (which of course exist in other countries too... States just aren't so prominent)

Idk if ur requests are open, but hear me out XD. A creator!reader who descends on Teyvat meets all the Archons and such. Then up and leaves by changing their appearance in order to explore their creation and how it has changed. Every once in a while Creator will make themselves obvious by performing acts only the Creator could. Once they are found out they just up and leave again only to resurface after another Divine act. TLDR: Creator playing cat and mouse with Teyvat
oh my GOD creator is just TORTURING then atp
small ramble because i still have massive writers block [cries] also ignore how late this is pls ok mwamwa thnx
c.w // yan. chars
song : Best Friend - Rex Orange County
SAGAU INCOMING : YAN CHARS.
okay so you decided 'hey man, what if i wasn't worshipped the moment i stepped outside'
so you just said fuck it and shifted
(it's been a while since you've done so, it kind of felt weird and hurt a tiny bit)
walking around teyvat in an odd, different form. completely different hair, height, clothes, you get the gist
the only things you couldnt change however were three things:
your blood (still gold, but you didn't plan on bleeding infront of anyone)
your aura (still comforting, caring, and even alluring)
your voice (why? zero clue.)
escaping the throne room you've oh so sadly been bound to!! having fun while doing it!!
(the only real reason you managed to escape is bc you managed to get the archons out and actually tend to their nations, as per your request order)
messing around while escaping fr!! people passing by wondering why this random person they've never seen is (not very) sneakily running away from the creator's palace/temple
but eventually shrugging it off, albeit reluctantly
messing around in mondstat, playing with the npc children more than you could usually, giving them the time of their life!!
this is where you use your first creator powers >:3
some poor kid scraped his knee real hard on the bridge, let's say timmie (hes so sweet he just wants to defend his birds pls b nice to him!!)
you, being the belovent god you are, use your divine powers to heal him
whether you do it with the hc of having to use your own gold blood or just having special healing powers only creator has, you do it
however, your dumbass mind hadn't thought of the fact that Venti may have been watching this
new outlander person with a mysterious aura
and now he quickly learns its you :0!!
the archons had no clue you could shapeshift!! why wasnt this in the ancient scrolls??? did they just lose the ones that mentioned it???
venti immediately finds some weird wind way to tell the other archons
fucking loud mouth
speaking of which, ei is freaking. out.
she came back to just check on you in your throne room and youre just.
not there??
panics, almost goes to zhongli before she gets venti's message and calms down slightly
atp you've realize you've outed yourself
so after making sure timmie is find you quickly run off into the forest before venti can come after you and smother you (both physically and with questions)
forest reached, new mission : new form needed
this basically keeps happening, and it's a needed breath of fresh air for you
running to liyue looking like a normal person until you magically form a special medicine that was unheard of from your hand for an elder, sickly lady
running from liyue to sumeru and shifting into!! an animal!! a fox!! cat!! tiger!! dog!! bird!! any of the sort!!
only getting outed from sumeru after you accidentally spoke while in animal form and having to go over to inazuma as an unknown, traveling sailor!!
getting outed after that for your extremely familiar aura and voice (inazuma people are scarily observant towards strangers) and eventually getting shoved escorted back to your palace/temple
funny stories to tell
however, the archons wont be leaving your room for quite a while..
oh well, who says you don't have other stunts to pull?

Could I humbly request Dullahan (basically a headless horseman with a whip made from a spine) Jason giving reader a ride on Halloween? If not, that’s okay.
what a delightful prompt anon! i took some batman-inspired liberties here, so jason is more of a regular headless horseman than a dullahan specifically (kept the whip tho bc man, what a badass weapon). but omg it fits him SO well. hope you like it!
headless horseman!jason todd x gn!reader. spooky themes. i guess it's a different time period -- i was imagining 19th century. reader knew jason before he died.
send halloween requests!!

You should've taken a carriage.
That's all you can think as you cross the border from Clarence County to Gotham County. You've been walking for an hour, and you're only just entering Gotham. The sun went down ages ago.
It's mostly wilderness outside of the city, and it's generally safe. Rich folk build vacation cabins in these woods. Others hike and fish along the river.
You still should've taken a carriage. Even if no people pose a threat to you out here, the forest is still dangerous. Bears. Snakes.
...Things not of this world.
No, you can't think that way.
Your basket of farm goods makes your arm ache. You switch it to your other hand. You're beginning to think that making this trip wasn't worth it at all. Certainly not if a bear mauls you.
A twig snaps and you jump about three feet in the air. You skitter away from the tree line, heart beating fast.
You wait. You have a glass bottle of milk to throw at whatever comes out of the woods.
Nothing. Silence. The trees might as well be dead.
Slowly, you untense, muscles slowly going slack. A twig probably didn't even snap; it's only your imagination. Yes. Right.
You tuck the milk back into your basket and adjust yourself, continuing your trek.
"Awful late to be out."
This time, you do throw the milk bottle. It lands with a thud in the soft dirt. The voice speaks again. He sounds amused.
"You missed me."
You whirl around and gawp. How had you missed a man on a horse? Surely you would've heard footsteps or the jingle of the straps.
The horse is huge, with a shiny, black coat. Its rider is proportionally large, broad shoulders straining his crimson hood. You can't make out his face, the opening nothing but a void. You squint, but grow dizzy when you look too hard.
It's such a strange thought, but your first instinct is that you know the rider. Intimately so. Like an old friend.
The horse is a shadow, the edges of its mane blurry. It nickers and drags its hoof over the dirt. It also has a hood, so you can't make out its face either.
The hooded figure watches you from his horse. At least, you think he does.
"Are you lost?" he asks. His voice echoes strangely, like it's coming from underground.
"No," you say immediately. "I'm on my way back to Gotham."
Most people have enough sense not to challenge Gotham citizens.
He tilts his head. You wish you could see his face.
"I can give you a ride. I'm headed there myself."
There is a red knight's helmet tied to the saddle. You look at it, then at him.
"I'll manage," you say. "I know my way."
"It's dangerous to travel alone on foot. Especially so late."
He dismounts the horse. Even on the ground, his presence is overwhelming. There is a long, bone-white whip fastened to his hip. Are those...?
"What's in the helmet?" you ask.
"Why do you think there's something inside?" His voice echoes again.
He goes and retrieves the bottle of milk you threw. It isn't cracked, which is fortunate. He opens the basket hooked over your arm and gently places the milk inside. Your heart pounds the entire time.
"I won't hurt you," he says, stepping back. "Gotham is my city. You are mine to protect."
"Gotham belongs to the Bat."
"Not for much longer," he says, almost snarling.
You look at the horse, which has been eerily still. The moon is high in the sky. Stars dance outside of the city smog.
"If it makes you feel safer," he says, voice softer. "You can hold my whip. If I do anything you don't like, you can be sure I won't do it again."
You don't like that idea; you hope you don't have to use the whip on him, though he is a stranger. But you like his voice, even if it echoes oddly. And you like how gentle he is, how calm his horse remains. You are sure he won't hurt you, even though there is no proof for you to confirm that.
You extend your hand.
"Alright," you say. "Please take me home."
He pushes you onto the horse, who doesn't even stir when you get on its back. Then he mounts with ease. He slides his whip out and gives it to you; on further inspection, you realize it's a spine. The horse takes off at a gallop, and you cling to the hooded man so you won't fall off.
"Are you a soldier?" you ask, wind biting at your face. He is cold but full of strength.
"I was."
"What should I call you?"
He thinks for a moment, steady under the brutal pace.
"You may call me Red Hood."
"Haven't you got a name?" you ask.
"I did," Hood says. "I'm not certain that it's mine anymore."
He sounds young. You wish you could see his face.
You arrive in Gotham sooner than you should, even on horse. Hood dismounts again and helps you down, strong hands on your waist. You land on the ground in a whoosh, and Hood holds you for a second longer than necessary. You linger against him and squint, trying to find his eyes. You can't.
"Will you show me your face?" you ask.
Red Hood immediately steps back. You hold your basket to your chest.
"You'd never forgive me if I did," he says, and the echo is back.
"I feel like I know you," you say, stepping towards him, and Hood puts more distance between you.
For the first time, the horse whinnies. It's a ghastly sound, like it's in pain, and you flinch. You spin around to see what spooked the horse, but by the time you do, it's gone.
And so is the Red Hood.
The whip, however, is still wrapped around your own waist; it's your only reminder that he was here at all.

I want to start writing and posting my very hush hush🤫 battle of the bands AU without anyone bothering me about updates. im not asking for a lot in actuality BUT……the way people act on here…
if I do this it would be a series. I think I will split up how each part gets posted too……since two groups are involved.
but also if it’s a waste of my time….I’ll just move along and keep rolling out one shots instead.
THIS WILL BE A CROSSOVER AU: nct dream/enhypen🤨
the premise: two childhood best friends(Heeseung/Jeno) fight over a girl in middle school and end up going to different high schools/both have little garage bands that play local shows but both gain notoriety in their districts, enough that a lot of people vote for them to make it to the top 5 for Battles of the Bands in their county
here’s where you come in- you are friends with the ‘00 liners and often help them sling demos/sell merch bc they let you go to all their shows for free, and offer to pay for stuff etc. throughout high school you always had the same boyfriend whose a year older than you and right before you’re ready to graduate you find out he’s been cheating on you in college. broken hearted and full of despair, your buddy Jeno’s like ‘hey if we win this battle of the bands thing we get a spot on Warped tour, you should come, it runs through summer. once in a lifetime opportunity.’
ur like nahhhh, but you go to the battle of the bands and meet their rival group(enha hyung line) for the first time and the singers REALLY into you, which leads to a run-in between him and *gasp* his ex-childhood bestie Jeno, they start talking shit to each other and you’re like😅😅😅??? ‘Why are you yelling at my potential rebound’ to which Jeno shouts ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! HIM(yes.. its heeseung) NEVER!!!!’
yaddayaddya blah blah……you end up going on the tour, both bands come in as the top 2 finalists, and it ends up being the most chaotic memorable summer of your life……tons of drama, LOTS of guys, a lot of hooking up, some feelings, some confessions, jealousy, first times, etc etc. very coming of age with y/n running train on the whole squad as usual. I want to also really focus on each character and sort of how they all ended up in their bands/became friends, very ‘my teenage angst has a body count’-esque. each character has a song attached to them that delves more into their personal story/persona, etc……it wouldn’t be a super long AU, but maybe.
these updates would be SLOW, not weekly!!!! and tbfh if you even ask me once🤏 abt updates I may block you. Boom was like the last series I rly consecutively updated and it STRESSED me out/ruined how fun it was to write toward the end bc of the constant nagging for updates. its actually so much more annoying to read that message more than anything…maybe..
I want to write this bc, I love both groups and I think this type of story is something *I* personally could make something really fun out of, but yeah, like I’ve explained… the ‘when are you posting again/when will you update’ etc or snarky ass ‘FINALLY YOU UPDATED’ etc…..don’t do that!!!
with that being said..…I dare to ask the audience…

Tw‼️: slight mention of offing at the end of this
Im thinking of romeo and juilet, Shakespeare called them star crossed lovers. In which romeo and juilet were alighed to be doomed by fate hence it refers to destiny and the inevitability of the two characters paths crossing. It usually but not always refers to unlucky outcomes, since romeo and juilet’s affair ended tragically. Further, it connotes that the lovers entered into their union without sufficient forethought or preparation; that the lovers may not have had adequate knowledge of each other or that they were not thinking rationally.
It makes me think of your stories or some of them. Or just the word star crossed lovers. Like all of your stories! And in scared that in BDAS, its gonna end and its gonna be sad and fit more on TF side of things and where they were always doomed from the beginning to lose each other. Ill cry ill be bawling. But ACTUALLY romeo and juilet fit for hobie and reader in bdas rn. Especially due to one thing theirs a line/quote that says “I think its best you married the County. O’, he’s a lovely gentleman. Romeos a disclout to him.” (I memorized that line) AND IT ACTUALLY FITS SO MUCH RN IN CHAPTER 14!!
KATY ARE YOU USING SHAKESPEARE REFERENCES IS HOBIE GONNA FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE AND BY THE TIME HE GETS THEIR READER ACTS DEAD SO HE OFFS HIMSELF AND THEN RESDERS ACTUALLY ALIVE AND THEN OFFS HERSELF TO BE WITH HIM. OR WILL IR BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND LIKE HOW ROMEO AND JUILET ARE?!?
Star-crossed lovers are a really good way to describe them! Especially tf hobie and reader
That quote from shakespeare correlating to bdas is a coincidence but a very good one! It def fits 14
You got me 😶 I sometimes take inspiration from classical works like the odyssey for bdas! (And also from different folklores) And some I shall shut up abt bc I might accidentally spoil you 😉

tmc fairy tale au!!!
SO this is actually a concept i had a few months ago that i never rly expanded upon.
first, let me explain the basics:
i assigned different tmc characters to different fairy tales, but they all exist in the same universe.
Adam - Rapunzel Evelin - Snow White/Flynn Rider Jonah - Little Mermaid Sarah - Gretel/Daughter from The Juniper Tree Mark - Hansel/Stepson from The Juniper Tree Cesar - Frog Prince Thatcher - Lumberjack guy from Red Riding Hood Ruth - Red Riding Hood Dave - Father from The Juniper Tree Six - Gothel Gabriel - Stepmother from The Juniper Tree Preacher - The Sea Witch Stanley - The Candy Witch Alt!Thatch - Big Bad Wolf
next, some art i made for the au!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and now, huge lore dump! >:)c its gonna be long so buckle your seatbelts LMAO
so, the main plot of this au is basically that adam has been stuck in a tower in the middle of nowhere for almost 21 years. he had been raised by six, who is actually a witch set on taking over the kingdoms that surround the nearby areas (aka the counties). one day, six it out doing stuff, and while he's gone prince evelin (yes she's a prince bc fuck it) ends up finding the tower. she decides to climb it out of curiosity.
she ends up in a standoff against adam, but to try to deescalate things, they introduce themselves to each other. all of a sudden before they could talk more, adam hears six coming back and hides evelin in a nearby closet. evelin sees adam and six get into a fight abt adam wanting to go out into the world for once, but six is all "you're not ready" and it just gets really bad. all until six lovebombs adam and leaves again to get something for adam's upcoming 21st birthday.
evelin had exited the closet as six left, and she's like "you let him do that to you?" adam is like "uh yeah? he always does? i dont see them problem" and evie starts making adam question everything. she promises to take adam into the world but return him by night in case six came back. they'd also stay near the tower just in case as well.
cut to jonah's pov! he's a simple merman wanting to be a part of the human world! he sees evie and adam having a lot of fun and wishes he could join them. his dad (yes, if jonah is the little mermaid, the fucking mervin marshall is the king by proxy DCFVGBHNJ) is all like "nuh uh too dangerous, especially with most of the witches residing on land anyway" and jonah is like "FUCKING BET!"
he goes to the sea witch, preacher, and asks for legs and talks about seeing adam and evie hanging out! and preacher is like "im sorry WHO????" bc she knows that adam shouldnt be out and about. she makes jonah promise that as part of the deal, he must return adam to six in three days time, otherwise he'll turn back into a merman. he quickly agrees, and the whole deal is made. preacher does go tell six about this, and while he freaks out at first, preacher is like "it's ok dude i got this. i got a client to promise to return him home as part of our deal. you're fine m'dude."
jonah ends up on land and tries teaching himself how to talk while finding a cloth to barely dress himself with. adam and evie do eventually see him and they're like "yo who tf are you?" and while jonah cant talk, they do find a way to write to each other and they become friends!!!!
they do also eventually meet sarah at some point, and oh b o y does she have a backstory.
SO, in order to explain her backstory, let me explain the story of "the juniper tree" (copy pasted from discord LMAO)
"so a mother is peeling apples under a juniper tree and accidentally cuts her finger. the blood drips onto the snow on the ground, and that (somehow) grants the woman's wish to have a child as white as snow and as red as blood. she dies after giving birth to her perfect child, and the father soon remarries, having a daughter of her own.
she loved her daughter but hated her stepson and abused him every day and is all "i want my daughter to inherit your father's money." she then leads her children to a chest of apples one day. she lets her daughter pick an apple from the chest, but when her stepson came to pick one, she slammed the chest on his head and decapitated him.
she then set it up to where the same thing would happen again but the daughter would be there to witness it all, and her mother would gaslight her into thinking that she murdered her own brother. she then literally turned her stepson into soup and fed him to her husband. the daughter was so grossed out and distraught the entire time, but she couldn't rat her mother out. she ended up burying her brother's bones under the juniper tree.
then, he reincarnated as a bird and sung a song to some townspeople to convince them to help him get revenge on his stepmother. he gathered a golden chain for his father, red shoes for his sister, and a millstone to crush his stepmother. he reveals himself to his family and they live happily ever after."
here's the changes i made to the original story:
instead of just the mother dying, both of mark and sarah's prents die, and now they are in the sole custody of dave
instead of having the caretaker marry someone, dave asks his friend "o'brien" to help raise mark and sarah
instead of the stepmother dying, it is revealed that o'brien was actually the great mage gabriel trying to steal something important to their plans that dave just so happens to have
and thats it CFVGBHNJM. gabriel does try and come back every once in a while to coax gabe into either letting them come back or trying to make dave give himself up for sarah's sake.
cesar's story is also p cool imo! he is the prince of bythorne and evelin's cousin! they got along great when evelin was younger, but that stopped once cesar disappeared.
this was caused by him saving mark and sarah from the candy witch, stanley, who had lured them in to specifically kill mark. cesar saw what was going on and saved the two of them before it was too late.
later that night, stanley decided to be a petty bitch and curse cesar into being a frog so he wouldn't be able to save anyone else from her or her sisters' (in which six is her like. brother but i'll explain why later LMAO) plans. cesar hid in the shadows of mandela kingdom's palace for years since then.
since cesar's disappearance, evelin had wanted to take the role of prince to honor him. she also used it as a way to not have to be trapped inside the palace walls and coddled. she ended up still feeling stuck anyway, which led to her sneaking out to travel through the woods, which ofc led her one day to find adam's tower.
at some point (if anything this would be after evie and adam meet and stuff), evelin finds cesar in his frog form on the windowsill of the guest room he would regularly stay in whenever he would come to mandela to visit. he finds that she isnt revolted by his new appearance and is actually willing to help him out!
he explains that he learned that most curses can be cured by "true love's kiss", which in storybooks was always seen as romantic. he had always viewed evelin like a little sister, so he felt that he was hopeless.
that was until evelin thought of a loophole, since the stories never explicitly said that it was romantic, she would try to break the curse purely through the love she has for him as her cousin. she kisses the top of cesar's head, and cesar has returned to his human form!!!
...well, somewhat. the curse had altered his human form due to it not being broken for years on end, so cesar came back deformed. his limbs were too long and half of his face was always covered by a dark shadow. cesar did freak out about this, but evelin assured him that he'll always be her cesar, no matter what he looked like.
evelin and cesar explained the situation and cesar was finally returned to bythorne. he did write a letter a bit after wards telling her that he has resigned from his princely duties to become a princess! maybe it would help him not have to struggle with the expectations of needing to be brave and bold, and it would be a thank you to evelin for taking his role as a prince!!!
speaking of evelin, let's go back to her for a minute. so, i had also put her as snow white, but we haven't really seen her fulfill that role yet. weeelllll...
at some point in the story, six finds evelin alone in the forest and offers her to take a bite of an apple in exchange for knowledge about adam and his past. the thing is, evelin HATES fruit so she's like "ewww do i have tooo" and six is like "if you really wanna know, then you gotta."
evelin agrees and bites into the apple. it tastes so fucking gross, but she feels like she was to swallow it to finish her end of the deal. once she swallows, the pieces suddenly cling onto her throat, choking her in the process. as she struggles to breathe, six begins to tell her who adam truly is.
adam is a regular boy who six took as part of a deal made by his parents. lynn had been getting pregnancy cravings and wanting the rapunzel frm the neighbor's garden. she made jude retrieve them for her, but it wasn't enough. eventually, jude got caught by six and agreed to give up their firstborn child in exchange to continue taking the flowers.
once adam was born, lynn and jude were killed by six, and he took adam away to raise him as his prodigy. as a catalyst for the witches' plans.
as six is explaining all of this to evelin, she is trying her hardest to take him down with her. fuck the info he's giving her, he tricked her, and now he has to pay. she swings with all her might but falls in vain. her vision goes black as six walks away from her dying body...
there's probably a "mother knows best reprise" moment here and six is all like "oh you might wanna go save your friend if you care about her so much" and adam freaks tf out. she's desperately trying to think of something to help evelin.
eventually, the group remember's cesar's story with "true love's kiss" and they're like "fuck it let's try that". adam, while literally sobbing, plants a small kiss on her forehead and prays for her to wake up.
while this is all happening, evelin ets visited by mark's spirit. he basically hypes her up and is like "you got this girlie!!!" and she wakes up after adam plants his kiss on her. she starts to choke again, but adam helps her with it and heimlichs the apple out of her throat. she's finally able to breathe, and the group celebrates.
however, the happy moment doesn't last for too long. jonah does eventually return adam to six behind evelin and sarah's backs, but afterward he feels so guilty for it. they literally sacrificed one of the first human friends he's ever made for legs. how stupid is that? they eventually go to sarah and evelin and they quickly figured out what happened. while evelin goes to the tower to save adam (with help from a certain spirit), sarah and jonah confront preacher.
there is gonna be a plot abt preacher almost taking over the seas, but jonah and sarah do eventually take her down and retrieve jonah's voice. and yes, sarah gets to see that jonah is a merman and she's actually like "YO WAIT YOU GUYS ARE REAL???" and jonah is like "UH YEAH?????"
and yes, adam does eventually escape as well, but i dont have those details either so ye :')
that's the main plot at least! i do have a subplot for thatcher's pov tho! more copy paste from discord
"thatcher and ruth are friends and live nearby each other. ruth usually helps out w raising mark and sarah, though mark by this point is dead so dave DEFINITELY needs help. he and sarah havent been taking his death well, especially since dave literally ate mark’s remains without knowing. and sarah feels guilty enough for being gaslit into believing that she killed mark.
so ruth is about to go to dave’s place and has to walk through the forest to get there. she eventually meets what seems to be a very friendly wolf. she is a little weirded out by it, but she eventually tells it how dave lost mark and that she’s helping out! and the wolf is like “oh thats cool! i wish you luck on your journey. though i must say, these flowers smell beautiful! maybe you should pick some and take them to your dear friend!” and as ruth collects flowers as the wolf suggested, it found thatcher nearby and took his appearance to take a visit to a particular dave lee." ...
"she gets to dave's place who has been escorted out by the wolf/alt thatcher, right? so he's like "dear friend, why don't you rest! you've spent all day walking here, and you should be able to rest" aaaaand he tries to turn her into a werewolf but then thatcher comes in and is like "AYO TF YOU DOING TO MY BESTIE????" and he and the wolf fight. thatcher ends up getting bitten but is able to ward him off with his axe that was laced with silver just in case. so ruth is saved, but overtime thatcher feels more pain surge throughout his body and just kinda. turns one night.
unfortunately, he ends up killing ruth. alt thatcher tries to take this as an opportunity to maybe make him join the witches, but thatcher ofc refuses and makes a break towards dave's house. thatcher ends up telling dave what happened, and dave is okay with helping him hide it as well as hiding his newfound lycanthropy
sarah overhears this convo and becomes EXTREMELY angry at thatcher bc ruth was helping dave raise her after mark died. she was basically the mother figure sarah had always wanted, and thatcher took that away from her."
that's it for plot!!! now for some witch shenanigans >:)
so the witches are basically all the alts who usually practice shapeshifting magic to like. deceive others and all that jazz. ive made it a running joke that six is technically the only guy there FVGBHNJ
like, stanley is fem, preacher is female, alt!thatcher is copying thatcher who is transfem in this au, and gabriel dresses fem. six (and by proxy adam) is literally the only guy there DCFVGBHNJ
i am. running out of energy but i think that's everything for rn. hope you enjoy this au though!!!! ive put a lot into it <33333

would love to hear more of your headcannons for the thunder legion
oh. oh you sweet summer child. you dont know what you got yourself into. ill do bullet first then bullet + numbered under a read more,, the shit under read more is also basically a poor summary of one shots tbh sdljkg
cw very brief and vague mention of sexual assault + child death after the read more
eldest to youngest is laxus, bickslow, evergreen, freed
bickslow and evergreen dont remember the names they were born with. bickslow went with the first thing that came to mind and evergreen settled on that after she wanted the fairy motif.
all found by laxus when they were young. found in youngest to eldest order.
evers the only pure fiorean. bicks is half fiorean half midian. freed is pure encan. laxus is a jumble of So Much.
bickslow is jokingly jealous freed wont go to him to learn latin and goes to natsu and wendy instead. freed keeps telling him he cant understand his accent. bicks thinks thats part of the fun of learning a language.
laxus adopted them all before makarov could even get his hands on them. they are His Problems not Yours, gramps, you have enough of your own
freed was the one that started the thunder legion/thunder god tribe after laxus saved him. it was just him for a month before ever got there. then she begrudingly joined if only to keep this tiny child in check. two months later bicks showed up and just accepted his role as the "youngest"
laxus hated the name. hes a lightning slayer not a thunder one. hes a dragon not a god. theyre not a tribe theyre his friends. eventually he just said fuck it and shortened it to thunder legion.
laxus was the first to call them the raijinshu like a year before lucy joined fairy tail. he had just come back from the japanese counties of the eastern continent and when there he didnt wanna suddenly speak english and have no one say it properly. so he just. raijinshu does mean thunder god tribe to an extent. freed was so giddy for months after.
laxus finds it hilarious how he found three little kids who all have an innate type of eye magic while his eyes are so Plain and Bad most of the time
bicks actively tried to learn japanese after the first time laxus swapped to that while talking to them. hes. like. "informed tourist" level conversational. the main issue was that he immediately started learning chinese and korean after getting to that point. so now whenever he tries to talk back its in a jumble of barely understandable three different languages. if laxus's mom's family wasnt a jumble of barely understandable four different languages he would have no clue what the fuck bicks was tryina do.
ever was the one to start up that first stream. it was when they were walking back from an easy quest on the equivalent of justin.tv. theyve streamed at least once a month since then bc sometimes the stupidity must be Documented
they all have some lingering asthma-like symptoms from the bane particles. bicks ever and freed only get winded easier than normal and thats slowly going away.
laxus though. as stated before with his absolute shit senses, if he didnt fucking pass out, he wouldve kept trying to eat the fuckin bane particles. his body was full and that is not an exaggeration. porlyusica said it was nearly 93% filled and if he tried to use any magic with it that high hed be dead, and any magic used by those around him in this state has the potention to get that percentage higher. his fight with tempester was life threatening on multiple accounts. just before the alvarez bullshit, the bane particles were down to around 54%, slowly recovering. after alvarez it bumped back up to 77%. porlyusica thinks hell always have at least 20% in him if he keeps going like this. he doesnt really care.
they all act like siblings. ever's used to being the youngest, freed's just glad he doesnt have to be an only child anymore, and bicks is SO HAPPY hes not the eldest anymore. laxus is exasperated that he is once again the eldest of the youngest gen.
as mentioned laxus found all of them when they were kids
he found freed first. freed, who was in the early stages of training to be an encan royal guard when he was ten. he was being trained outside of the capital's reach when a dark guild obliterated the camp he was at with all the other trainees and teachers. laxus was on enca for a quest that really should have been sclass if only because enca was so far from fiore. he stumbled upon the still crumbling ruins of the camp when trying to go back to a port town and tried to find survivors. freed was one of the few lucky ones. he lead them all to the capital and only when a translator showed up did he learn freeds parents were part of the teachers that didnt make it. the royal family was trying to adopt him since his parents were the king's old friends before they realized that he still hadnt let go of laxus in the days it took to get there. they let laxus legally adopt him. it took him weeks to find sailors willing to take him, a kid, and the massive pile of books the royal family gave them all the way to fiore. laxus still doesnt know what he adopted freed as and freed doesnt know either but does like to think hes his little brother. laxus still finds it weird that they just let him adopt a kid when he was fifteen.
he found ever next. she and her older sister were runaways. he met them bc he accepted a quest to capture some thieves who were doin some robin hood type shit to hargeon. he didnt take the job to capture them, more to convince them to come to fairy tail. it didnt take too long to find them in rags on a rooftop of some bakery. he tried to convince them immediately but was then trauma dumped on by the little kid. she was three when her older sister took her and left their negligent family. they were roaming fiore for eight years, taking what they could from the rich and either giving it away or selling it off to give the money to the poor, who would always give them a place to stay for the night and some food, some even gave them clothes and toys, before guards would come to the town to find the thieves. the older sister had smacked 'eve' upside the head for confessing to crimes that they definitely didnt commit. they had run off before laxus could get another word in. it took him a week to find them again, but they had been watching him that whole time. the sister decided that she would turn herself in if 'eve' could join fairy tail. laxus said they both could join, but she turned him down. said it would be too obvious and dangerous for a known heiress to a noble family to suddenly join the most popular legal guild in fiore after eight years of running. but for her unknown little sister, who their parents didnt even bother to remember her name, it was perfect. especially since she had only been called 'eve' since they left, which was nowhere close to her legal name, and the sun they stayed in so much gave her a darker skin tone and lighter hair than their parents had. ever still doesnt remember when her sister would be released, nor does she even remember her full name. just that she had brown hair, brownish red eyes, pale skin, and was called 'ace' when they started stealing. laxus doesnt have the heart to tell her he thinks aceto is back "home" with count balsamico.
he found bicks last. he had, again, taken on a quest that really should have been sclass since midi was pretty far from fiore. he just had to bring lightning and, therefore, a storm to some farmlands to rejuvenate the soil for more crops. that was the easy part. what wasnt easy was spending the night in one of the farmers house and the village suddenly being fuckin raided. the farmer and her husband told him to stay home and keep an eye on their many kids while they took care of the danger. he tried to explain that hes a mage, nearly ready for the sclass trials, and lightning is extremely fucking powerful against nonmages, but they werent having it when he was just a few small years older than their own eldest. so fine, whatever, he could keep an eye on the house as a whole and bring a storm to help the farmers protect their families. why not. he didnt expect one of the raiders to be a fire mage who could summon hydrophobic fire. and he didnt expect the mage to chuck it straight at the house he was staying at. the strong winds only fed the flames and he could barely register that the house was on fire before the roof collapsed. he woke up to a boy just a few years younger than him, burns all over his body, trying to drag a support beam off laxus. he got the story from the kid. the fire had consumed the house quickly, and lightning was going everywhere outside, so he had tried to get all his siblings down to the basement so they could crawl through one of the emergency tunnels to the forest. they didnt realize how quickly the fire would eat at the supports and the stairs fell apart from under them. he tried to save his siblings, but some didn't survive the initial fall. the rest couldnt get away from the fire. he tried to get his parents from outside, only to see that they had been killed by the raiders. the fire mage was struck by lightning pretty soon after he set fire to the house though so thats good! but now his family of eight is down to one in under an hour. the rest of the village were mourning their loses too and couldnt take care of a kid. so laxus took him home after they gathered what they could from the wreckage. bickslow had come up with his name during the boat back, when he was rubbing laxuss back to soothe the motion sickness. he bickered with everyone a lot, and was too slow to save his family. bickslow. laxus tried very hard to not hug the kid to death and instead kept throwing up into the ocean.
they all have varying degrees of electric resistance
ever has the LEAST resistance. still way above average, but even a weak attack from laxus would get her whole body shaking and numb. she thinks its because of the aria magic she mastered when she first go to fairy tail.
freed thinks he has the most, but hes in the middle of the three. he can take a normal attack from laxus during training and can only feel a bit of tingling in the aftershocks. the only one who can withstand being carried by his lightning body and thinks its because of the lightning.
its actually because the movement of the lightning body is way too fast for bicks, who is nearly immune to a regular lightning mage's attacks. a strong attack from laxus is what gets him on the ground for five minutes. he doesnt know why since he never really trained against lightning. maybe its because his seith magic and figure eyes are kind of energy related? he doesnt know
the first time they learned of their eye magics was all in crisis
freed didnt actually see what his magic was for years. it happened when his camp was attacked, but no one was awake to see it. laxus hid the bodies of the dark guild from the kids and had asked what few adults survived if they had anything to do with that. they didnt. the wounds were oozing demonic magic from what laxus could tell and could translate with his poor understanding of french. every other quest they went on as the thunder legion was solved with his letter magic. it was an sclass quest, one similar to the one they all lost lisanna on, that his dark écriture "awakened" in. bicks figure eyes was the only reason freed was able to remember what happened. even during the battle of fairy tail, his dark écriture: darkness was very difficult to control
ever was captured for like ten minutes on an sclass quest early in the thunder legion's career. im sure you can guess what gross monsters attempt to do with the women they capture. yeah. her boys saved her after she turned them to stone. freed was about to make a letter magic prison for them so the magic council could arrest them but bicks said whatever happens when theyre stone they can still experience and laxus said they could cover her for the magic council and suddenly the statues broke. freed was only a little bit salty he couldnt test out some pain and suffering magics he was learning.
bicks first learned of both his magics at the first opportunity they had to show up. so yes he saw the souls of his parents and five siblings just after they were murdered. its why he wasnt all too sad that they died. he still saw them, he could still hear and talk to them, what do you mean theyre gone forever, laxus? he knows what death is, their neighbors were butchers and it was explained really early on why he couldnt name a cow in their fields. his family isnt really dead, theyre still right here. only then did laxus realize that this kid had soul magic. when they were getting what they could from the ashes laxus found five little stacking totem toys and two bigger ones. bicks said there were more, but maybe they burned or were under the bricks and planks around the room. laxus spent like twenty minutes trying to explain to bicks how to put souls into objects since he had only read about this type of magic years ago. it didnt take that long for bicks to have his family physically here again, even if they would be his "puppets".
all four of them have nostalgic items from their home land/their families
people think freed's sword was something he got commissioned after he learned letter magic since it has the fairy tail mark as part of the cross guard. but no, he only got the fairy tail cross guard commissioned. that sword wouldve been the one hed have if he were a royal guard to the encan royal family. now he just uses it to write his letter magic since hes not "worthy" to use it as an actual weapon
ever still has the necklace her sister gave her after their first night being thieves. it was silver and plain and had some type of cheaper green gem as its pendant, but she loved it then and loves it now. sometimes she wears it around magnolia, but when she goes on quests, it stays safe in her room in fairy hills.
besides the totems housing his actual family, the mark over bicks forehead and going over his nose and whatnot is actually the mark of the midian side of his family. the color is that of his fiorean side. after porlyusica healed the bigger scars on his face, it just appeared. porlyusica had no clue what it was, but makarov said something like that appears on all soul mages. something that shows where the magics came from. to have both sides of his family have soul magics somewhere in it was rare, but clearly not impossible. the souls of his parents had no clue there was any soul magic connected to their names, though, so who knows.
despite being laxuss closest friends theyre still constantly surprised by the shit he does/is
after the first time he spoke japanese to makarov and chinese to bicks, they figured that his mom was just fluent in both and taught him both and master picked up some japanese. then he spoke korean, russian, and something that bicks said reminded him of the arabian traders theyd get in midi, and they had to confront laxus about it. he said his mom was some percent japanese, chinese, and korean, since his Obā-chan was at least japanese and his Hal-abeoji was at least korean but cousins on both of their sides were chinese and some were thai and even others were indian and filipino but his mom only knew japanese korean and chinese so. and his pops is some bit russian and some bit whatever his gram was. and his gramps is maybe half russian half fiorean since they dont know where his mom and dad came from just that he was born in fiore and the second guild master said he should connect with his roots and learn russian. and again he has no clue where his gram was from since gramps always tried to not say where she was a princess of or where precisely on alakitasia that the alvarez empire absorbed her home country. he lost the thunder legion the moment he said Obā-chan but they just nodded along like they understood everything. they never asked again.
despite his music being played all the damn time when he had those noise suppressing lacrima headphones they never really knew just what laxus was listening to. just that he liked r&r since thats what he always responds with when someone asks. when the viewers of their streams learned what laxus actually listened to is when they also learned. they shouldntve been so surprised that there were some non english songs really considering his fucked up family tree
freed and ever were shocked loke was the spirit leo. bicks immediately started to rub it in their faces that he knew because his soul was just so damn bright and blinding and definitely wasnt fucking human. they were all shocked when laxus said he knew before bicks could see the souls of the still living. they figured laxus and loke werent actually that close with how they reacted when people called them boyfriends
they were shocked laxus and loke were actually boyfriends
bicks was the only one who knew laxus could summon storms if he summons lightning too often in one spot in a short amount of time. laxus just figured it was a lightning mage thing. ever and freed were so confused when it just started storming on one of their sclass quests in the middle of desierto
even still theyre constantly surprised whenever laxus just lays outside in the rain. and still surprised that hes not getting soaked.
they werent shocked that his coat is actually so fucking comfy. nor were they surprised that its heavy as fuck. they ARE surprised it was originally his moms and the only one he has. they figured he had multiple from how often he loses it in a fight and has it back the next day.
they were dumbfounded laxus knows requip magic specifically for his big coat. he also uses it for all his clothes and some random items like knives and pens and paper and a first aid kit and whatnot. they asked him if he knows any other magic. he said that the only reason his lightning body works is because his lightning magic came with an affinity to levitation magic. they stopped asking after that.
the first time laxus popped something out its socket had them all scrambling. the first time laxus popped something back into socket, which happened maybe a minute after that, had them all panicked. ever was the only one even a bit knowledgable in hypermobility so after it was explained she just sighed and shook her head.
