Doodle for the adoption au snippet bc i CANNOT stop thinking about it
Giving you the biggest hug for this! This makes me smile so much <3<3<3
Yeah yeah yeah Deca is :) at all this. He has a son bot lad hes going to treat like a little doll. The outside world was so mean to this little guy... LOVE his expression in this. Love both their expressions <3 also love how your deca design is so floffy.
Meanwhile the Bard is just... tired. I've been thinking about ways for him to exhaust himself in fighting/yelling and oh my god your doodle of him makes him look so deflated. The floof and love and joy in his hair is gone 😔 braidless and thus stripped of his identity. Given a purpose he didn't want...
#really like the cape thing you gave NB#i described his cloak as having cloth wings cause yeah he is now a canary in the coal mines#he probs put so much effort fighting he hasn't realized he hasn't sung a poem in days :)#steel text#i am poking this art with much affection and love#old mondstadt#nameless bard#decarabian#hmmm what to call this au....#Found Family Deca au

[ 1 ] [ 2 ]
"I'm so, so sorry."
"I know."
"I didn't mean to, really, I didn't."
"I know, Jimmy."
Jimmy sucks in a sharp breath he doesn't need, guilt and frustration fighting an ugly battle in his stomach. Tango floats beside him, translucent and spotless, in contrast to Jimmy's open wounds. There is no shared heartbeat between them anymore, and it feels weird. There is no heartbeat at all.
He can't bring himself to look him in the eye, but he can let his words rush out on the tides of his exhale. "I guess everyone really wasn't kidding when they called me a canary. Twice can still be coincidence, but three times is a bit of a pattern, isn't it?"
The words sound more choked, more emotional than they should. Jimmy tries to swallow the lump in his throat, caused by Tango's lack of immediate response. It makes him feel more nervous.
Tango eventually sighs, leaning back on thin air. "You know what I think? I think all this canary, coal mine, coal miner business is just a bunch of sugarcoating to hide the fact that everyone seems to hold a grudge against you specifically. It doesn't even make sense!"
Jimmy lets out a strained giggle, mind flitting to eyes upon eyes. "You think so?"
"Yeah, you know what? I do!" Tango says, straightening up decisively as he slams his fist down on his knee. He turns his determined gaze towards Jimmy. "The whole point of the the canary in a coal mine idiom is that the canary dies to save the coal miners, right? It's an idiom about selflessness, or something."
"...Yeah?" Jimmy replies, unsure but somewhat curious as to where Tango was going with this.
"Well, your death never saves any of us from anything!" Tango declares, throwing his arms out in open frustration. Jimmy snorts. "You permadie first and yeah, that raises the stakes, but we can't exactly leave, can we? We're all stuck in this game until we die or we're the last one standing. Your death isn't a sacrifice, so you can't be a canary."
"Okay, well, when you put it like that, it just makes me feel silly for dying first all the time." Jimmy mutters with a weak smile, hugging himself. "At least when people call me a canary, I can pretend it's all symbolic and stuff."
"No, no, hang on!" Tango drifts closer, waving his hands frantically as if he could stop Jimmy from going down that train of thought through pure will alone. "What I mean is that you're not a canary. If anything, I'd say you're an albatross."
Jimmy blinks, immediately caught off guard. "An albatross?" He repeats, stunned. "Why an albatross?"
Tango splutters for a moment, growing flustered. "Well- well, you know!" When Jimmy showed no signs of knowing, Tango huffs and explains, "There's this superstition among sailors that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to your ship, and I'm pretty sure death is the worst case of bad luck you can get. You permadie first, and everyone else follows your lead."
"Huh." Jimmy says, because he's not sure what else to say.
"Plus an albatross is a metaphor for being burdened, right?" Tango continues, on a roll. "And you're burdened by this so-called curse, because everyone always expects you to be the first one out."
"You're on a roll with this one." Jimmy tells him with a tiny, wet chuckle, just to make sure he knows.
Tango cracks a smile, and reaches out to cup the side of Jimmy's face. "It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you did your best. That's all I could've asked of you, man."
Jimmy smiles back, small but real, and he lays a hand over the one on his cheek. He thinks he might be tearing up. It's harder to tell with these ghostly bodies. "You'll always be my soulmate, my rancher. The best I could've ever hoped for."
"And you'll always be mine." Tango replies easily, gently, even as he pulls his hand back. His smile dims, but doesn't disappear. His voice lowers. "...I'm tired, Jimmy. I want to go to sleep."
And it's just like their few nights of peace, that blissful state between finding each other and their ranch being burnt down. Isn't it strange to feel nostalgic about something that happened mere weeks ago?
"Go to sleep, then." Jimmy whispers, practising the lines that had so quickly become a part of his routine. "I'll join you soon, I promise."
Tango grins, exhausted but so full of fondness, and gives his usual reply, "I'm holding you to that!"
With that, he closes his eyes and fades away to the slumber of the void between worlds.
And Jimmy stays, and he listens.
#double life spoilers#solidaritygaming#tangotek#jimmy solidarity#double life smp#percy writes#the canary; the coal mine (and other hopeful metaphors of doom)#one more for the road that actually goes FUCK the canary metaphor (affectionate)#this one is a little sneaky because it's a blend of how i write base canon life series stuff#and a life series interpretation i treat more as au that i'm working on fics for#so that's fun!!

Had to switch back to Medibang for Mori & Elise piece. People like Q in this au even less, sadly, because their ability invokes similar feeling to having bird person's pelt taken (it's actually surprisingly less bad than pelt stealing, but not a lot of people bother to understand). Elise has more of her own personality here
#bsd#bsd au#bungou stray birds au#cornix draws stuff#bsd mori ogai#bsd elise#bsd yumeno kyuusaku#if you want to get a little idea about how elise is in this au listen to canary in a coal mine by crane wives#you will get really sad#oh btw the character drawings take a lot of time so if any of you are interested in the lore of the au feel free to ask#because it will take a while#and i have a lot of things to talk about for this au#just don't know how to structure them

What are ace and sabos wings in your wing au
Sabo's got canary wings and Ace's got vulture wings
Canaries symbolize wealth and treasure, which is fairly accurate to Sabo's heritage but i mostly picked it because Sabo being shot down by a celestial dragon when ASL were children reminded me a lot of the canary in a coal mine phrase. Also canaries are often used as pets in small cages.
Ace hates his wings. He hates the negative stigma and he hates that people assume relation to a vulture means he's heartless and evil. The pirate king had vulture wings, after all. But vultures are sturdy, they're built for heat and drought, and they appreciate parts of life and of the world that most people don't consider without a negative connotation. He may hate his wings, but he's a very strong flyer, and very resilient.
#one piece#I've been waiting SO LONG to talk about that canary in a coal mine simile with Sabo#Also Ace's got the biggest wings of ASL and regularly used one of his wings as an umbrella for Luffy#wing au

Useless Headcanon of the Day:
Mirek and Lazuli were engaged for a time. For like 6 months... when they were 8 and 6 respectively. It was an arranged one that eventually fell through comically fast.
When Alexandre exiled his family to the North... after he killed his father... because his father tried to kidnap Lazuli...
Yeah... it was a bit difficult to maintain relationships after that.
#{faebella obscura} royal au#Lazuli HC#Mirek HC#there's ... a little bit more to it#this was during a time when Alexandre was getting especially volatile#and people were going missing in the capital#so the Romanovs were fleeing Alluka#and Mirek begged his dad to save Lazuli as well#while most other nobles saw her ... like a canary in a coal mine#his intentions were good#but he got caught#and the king ... well all he knew was that this grown man was trying to take his little girl

Yoichi Gasps. Jolting from his bed and rubbing his sweaty face. Claws catching in his hair as he schools his breathing. He snakes out of the nest like bed. Claws tapping the ground as he shakily walks to the washroom.
Glowing green eye glint in the mirror of the dark room. Claws gripping into well worn indents from similar past night. "I thought. I thought I was getting better" he mutters against the cool tiles. Old pain soaking in like that Storm hundreds of years ago.
His wings itch from under his skin. A call of Hoard. Grab Your Hoard. Growling into his mind. The cost of immortality and this damned Quirk he never needed nor wanted. Hot tears flowing down his skin. A inhuman whine exiting his throat.
Gentle cool arms wrap around him. "Daku. My Hero." Yoichi mumbles into the other chest "I'm here. I'm here my dear. Safe." Yoichi sobs. The tears soaking into the others shirt "My Hoard. It feels so empty. I miss him. I hate him. I hate what he made us"
"I know love. I know. All we can do is ignore it. We are here for you. Let it out" Daku's hands slide through Yoichis hair. Occasionally they trace around his horns. "I was getting better."
"I know. It takes time"
"it's been two hundred years."
"I know. I know." Daku whispers "and I would change it in a instant just to make you smile" he smiles as Yoichis chest rumbles in a purr "I know my Hero. You and Sanzou both" Daku laughs "Sanzou is the one to pull us out of trouble"
Yoichi Huff's. And lays his head down and sleeps. Loud purrs rumbling as Second lays him in the nest. Third looks up with half lidded eyes, the Ghoul Quirked man's tongue slipping out like a snake. "Daku?" "Sleep. He just had a bad night" "mk. Sleep too."

Does anyone else not really think the canary coal mine thing fits Jimmy at all but still tries to lean into it with designs headcanons aus and analysis
#like I don’t think the canary thing is CONTRADICTORY… it just doesn’t make COMPLETE sense to me?#like. there’s gotta be something that fits ‘always dying first’ better than a canary in a coal mine.#he’s not rlly a warning that people are boutta die. he’s just the first victim of it.#unless the life series is a caved in coal mine. so everyone in it knows they’re gonna die anyways but they also know the poor canary will#die first. and once he dies then they know bodies are gonna start dropping.#LIKE I GET THE CANARY THING I DONT HATE IT CUZ LIKE I SAID ITS NOT CONTRADICTORY BUT LIKE… THIS WAS THE BEST METAPHOR WE HAD????#I still like to do things with the canary jimmy thing so yeah not hate. it’s fun. and I like when jimmy sees a canary in animatics#and stuff and says ‘ITS ME!!!’ like that’s awesome LMAO#there was a character in a diff series that I did canary coal mine metaphors for before 3rd life even started so I find it interesting lol#it was more like an au tho. the canon doesn’t fit the canary thing and it was basically ‘what if the canary tricked the miners’ lol

Hi :D Logic behind the latest batch of cutie marks? if you feel like sharing :)
Hello everypony ^-^ It is cuie mark info dump again ^-^
Before we start, reminder that Grian + Tango do not have cutie marks because they are a hippogriff and a Kirin respectively. Non-pony creatures do not have cutie marks :)
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get started!
Mumbo's Cutie Mark
I'm the proudest of this one because it'd simple but affective.
Mumbo's cutie mark is a tangled-up red wire which has been cut at the ends to expose the conductors. The wire is also particularly made to create an 'M' shape.
Similar to Impulse's cutie mark, Mumbo's is related to electricity for his investment in redstone. Electricity being the closest thing to it. That said, I gave Mumbo a wire because it is the baseline of all electricity. It connects everything together. From the power source and into whatever little machine or contraption you've built, wires are needed to keep it all powered! So I thought using it as a cutie mark would work really well for Mumbo. Sometimes he can just bring people together just like a wire does for electricity.
(And the little knot in the wire is just a little something to indicate Mumbo may be a bit of a mess)
Additionally, with the wire being in the shape of an 'M' it could stand for Mumbo while also being in the shape of a mustache too :)
Scar's Cutie Mark
Capitalism baby! Scar's cutie mark is of a red top hat next to a bag of bits (the currency in my little pony is called bits and are essentially gold coins).
At heart, Scar is a swindler. He's full of joy and whimsy sure, but he has a real talent for selling little trinkets to anypony who takes a look at his store front. In my head, Scar is essentially the flim and flam of this AU. He's a wandering salespony who shows up from time to time with things to sell from all across Equestria! That's where the little bag can be interpreted as a bag of coins, or a bag full of mystery items he's collected over the years.
Also, the top hat is there to represent Scar's salespony flair.
Joel's Cutie Mark
Joel's cutie mark is of a greek stone pillar and a chisel.
There are a couple of meanings to this one. The first one is pretty obvious, Joel loves to build! He's a fantastic builder with an eye for design. So I chose a greek pillar to represent one of my favourite builds of his, Stratos! But of course, a simple pillar can be used for lots of things and that's where the second meaning comes in. To hold things up! Joel holds himself up to on pretty high pedestal. He's very full of himself and I honestly can't blame him. Joel is great! So of course I had to represent his ego in his cutie mark somehow.
Jimmy's Cutie Mark
Jimmy's cutie mark is of a little canary bird. Another cutie mark with two meanings behind it!
First, is the obvious one. The canary in the coal mine. Misfortune will fall upon the canary to indicate to others that the journey may be too dangerous to continue. A bad luck charm if you will or a bad omen. And that's the surface meaning of his cutie mark that everypony knows it for. Jimmy is the poor clumsy pony in town who always seems to hurt himself before things go wrong.
However, there is a second meaning. Canary birds are also supposed to happiness and harmony. This is the main core of the cutie mark which gets over looked. Despite the bad implications of his cutie mark, it does not stop Jimmy from spreading joy wherever he goes. He's kind and joyous, keeping a positive attitude no matter what.
(I of course have a Ranchers plot point where Tango says this to Jimmy to cheer him up about his cutie mark one day. Tango, who has never had a cutie mark and does not understand their importance, says he doesn't see Jimmy as bad luck, but instead feels joy when Jimmy smiles no matter the situation. But that's a story for another day 🤭)

AS A HUGE FAN OF BOTH FITPAC+HADESTOWN UR AU IS MAKING ME FEEL <3 NORMAL <3333 who would be orpheus / who'd be euridyce?
okokokokok hear me out here
fit as eurydice, disillusioned with the world and taught to always have your own back, take things as they are, if something’s too good to be true then it’s not.
pac as orpheus, bright-eyed and determined, sees the world for what it could be and wants to make that real.
You know how the song goes.
Fit falling in love with Pac in the spring, things are warm and good and food comes easy. Watching his son play carelessly and laugh and sing. Listening to Pac’s visions of the future and hearing his song, and believing in him full heartedly. They wed in summer, laughter and wine falling from their lips during their first kiss as husbands.
Summer leaves early and faster than ever. Pac focuses harder on writing his song. Ramón is starting to complain about the hunger. It’s cold. Fit loves Pac more than anything. He can handle the hunger, he can handle the cold, he can handle being alone. He can’t handle his baby boy going hungry.
He leaves one day to buy, to find, to steal some food, some firewood, anything to keep his boy warm. He gets caught in a storm. Death approaches him and offers to keep him and Ramón safe and warm and fed. If it had been just him, maybe… but Death’s voice is deep and warm, and the coal mine calls with promises of heat, and the canary follows.
You know how the song goes.
A lot can happen behind closed doors. Fit is not naive. He is hungry. He is cold, and he is lonely. But he is not naive. He signs his life away. Ramón, his baby, is safe. Has no stake to his name.
Pac descends from his office, and the fire is out. Blankets lay on the couch untouched, no coats hang from the coatrack. There is a lonely pair of shoes at the door.
He searches and searches and yells and screams for his husband and filho. The Traveller finally comes to him when he has screamed his throat raw. Rattlesnakes are meant to hibernate during winter. Regardless, he sees his love with the twin wounds left by fangs.
He asks to join them. The Traveller offers a different route. He takes it. He plays his song, he plays it loudly and clearly and with his lyrics he calls to his amô and his filho. He calls to Death and Spring and he cries his sorrows to them. His pain brings Spring to tears and his regret brings Death to movement.
Ramón runs to him the moment they see each other. They cry and hug and Pac will never let his boy go again.
Fit, his love, his muse, is held back by the chains of Death. Pac pleads again with Death. Fit crumbles and cries. Pac twitches as he tries to reach out but can’t.
Death loosens his grip on the chains and Fit collapses into Pac. There is a moment of pure relief and joy and clarity. Fit and Pac are together with their boy between them again. They make each other promises, fix the ones they made as their vows, and begin to rebuild what fell apart so fast the first time. It is warm and safe and it is love.
The moment is short-lived. Death’s voice calls out. The canary flinches towards it.
You know how the song goes.
Ramón is allowed to hold his hand as he leads them out. There is no claim on his life. He never should have been there in the first place.
Fit is not so lucky.
They are steps away. The cold breeze hits Pac’s face from the end of their ascent.
You know how the song ends.
