wait did ghosts who landed on earth c in the candy timeline disintegrate into nothingness or nah i didnt read the candy in full yet but it is an IMPORTANT info for me

I've seen a couple posts now talking about the concept of an AU where Vox somehow gains control over Alastor's soul/contract. While I do agree with the common take that he'd probably try to mind control Alastor or break his spirit at first, I think he'd actually get bored of that pretty quickly. Alastor's appeal is all in his personality; putting him in a situation where he just shuts down and stops giving the reactions that make him who he is would lose its novelty for Vox within a month or two.

Imo, from there I see it turning into a "gilded cage" situation. Vox sets up a nice little club for Alastor to live in; it's classy and Alastor is free to do what he pleases with it, but he cannot leave and whatever Vox says goes. It's a kind of faux freedom that's just tolerable enough for him not to go insane, but just restrictive enough that he still feels like some kind of pet. Vox isn't physically around that often, but he's always watching; Alastor's free to make his own choices, but can only chose from a small, pre-approved set of options. It's actually not too dissimilar to the situation he put his own contractees in, and Alastor loathes that fact.

Have you ever cried?

“Yes��

Ben Drowned Animation [Concept Of Nothingness]

It’s a three days late but cult of the lamb is officially one year old!

snippet from the time travel au, seriously someone stop me from hurting steve please

Even in her stress, though, Joyce pulls her son into a hug, brushing a kiss to his forehead and talking in that quiet, caring way she has that not even the end of the world could take from her. Steve knows. 

Something inside him aches as he watches them; Will doesn’t even try to push his mother away because he knows that nobody is watching and he can bask in her affection, in her love. He gets to feel safe, and Steve’s stomach churns when he remembers what’s about to happen tonight. It won’t happen. It won’t. But for his version of Will it did, and even after two and a half years it still breaks something inside Steve just thinking about it. 

Joyce leaves, heading for her car, and Steve can hear Will calling out to her once more. “Remember I’ll be at Mike’s tonight.” 

“Be home at nine,” she calls back, one foot in her car already, her hair looking wild, her eyes wide, stressed but still pausing to look at her son and smile. “And tell Mrs. Wheeler I say hi.” 

“Will do,  mom.” 

And then Joyce speeds off. Steve ducks behind the bush again so she won’t spot him, though chances are entirely too slim to really be worried. When Joyce Byers is in action mode, no force of nature can stop her, and nothing can distract her. 

Steve tries to ignore the heaviness in his chest when he realises that he misses her. If Joyce knew what happened to him, if she knew he’s supposed to be in 1986 but then they fought an evil monster wizard maniac and this girl with superpowers sent him back in time for some reason he still has to figure out, Joyce would not hesitate to pull him in and apologise for the cruelty of the world before telling him they could figure this out.

His Joyce would. This one doesn’t even know him. And he misses her. 

Thinking about Venti's wish and og powers translating to his witch form in the Madoka au

Like, it doesn't have anything to do about splitting, but he can be in multiple places at once because of some minor time powers. And by that, I mean he could isolate an event and place a version of himself at a different point in time relative to it and the timeline where he changes something also happens at the same time where he originally was at

When it comes to his witch form, the arms and harp strings kinda reference that. Like how he tries to simultaneously change things, plus the strings being a reference to the fate he tries to change. But y'know, the paper hands kinda break every time he tries to use the strings, which calls back to how he ended up Like That in the first place

The "something" au :3

Abit of a info dump hehe

This is Cindy, she at first like all the Sins started life happy and nice but at 10 years old.. here all her family died in a car crash, normaly Sin gets left with her mom and sister but not this time. she was left alone at home due to feeling sick, but getting the news they were gone.. she felt like everyone would forget her, like by them dying no one would remember her and so this feeling gave birth to SOMETHING but SOMETHING doesnt want to kill her or anything, he just wants one thing. For everyone includeing herself to forget her and so she fades from existance getting trapped in nothing with gaster(no void in this au, just nothingness between reality and fiction), but she noticed after awhile her friends didnt seem to remember her name.. she did though, but they kept forggeting untill she was a stranger to them, she tryed to stay but couldnt, she ran away becouse of the stress and ended up underground after awhile of running, she after once sleeping and almost turning fully invisible(or not real) she developed insomnia and paranoia, she stutters alot, she noticed she was also forgetting and started repreating words to herself like "Im Cindy, Im alive, Im someone in this world.. Im not gone, Im alright, I like drawing and my family alot, they died but thats alright, ill be fine" wich being undergound made her forget even more untill.. it became "IM SOMEONE. I HAVE TO STAY ALIVE, I WONT BE GONE. IM HERE, I NEED..... HELP" but no one even remembers her! How could they help? Even in fights, after about 10 seconds they forget who she is and why theyre fighting, she found ways to remind herself she exists like scraching herself to feel it and remind herself that way, eventually she scratched too much and wrapped bandages on herself so she could scratch without hurting herself, she got a bat and knife from the undergroud for self defence...

Though everyone who meets her meets the same fate. To forget her, SOMETHING wont let them remember, or even know where they were.. someone takes many forms but.. its really just a black blob with a shape and any body of any creature and with eyes, sometimes just one but ut can have as many as it wants! No one even sees SOMETHING.. well they do but.. forget it as they forget more about Someone, she sometimes hers about people talking about SOMETHING behind her or even them.. she has a small notebook where she writes as much as possible but sometimes the ink dissapers leaveing her with gaps.. but she keeps the drawings of SOMETHING that she drew while people discribed it behind her. She has memory issues and is always on the run from SOMETHING dispite not knowing ehat it is, she has magic but its not much, just healing and fire magic, she has another two abilitys but theyre long forgotten.. maybe one day someone can remind her how to use them.. and then she can get better maybe, all she knows is that SOMETHING is always there. And if she isnt carefull she will end up not existing..

Bonus: Error!Sans could not kill her due to the forgetting thing, he would forget why he is there and who she is and the forgetting would make his strings start to fade from existance, she could never Beat Error either so a draw it would be!

Here you go Lumi abit more of the Something au

hehehe ^^

A little about Dokuro family, and a bit about the world of this story.(OC)

Dokuro is a family that must work as watchmakers for 100 generations and protect Irminsul from the Worms of Nothingness because of the deal with Irminsul.

Irminsul - The tree into the nowhere. Looks like a balloon. It is not clear where it came from or how, but each branch of this tree is a world (canon) from each branch leaves grow and then they are transforming into new branches (AU). The tree grows forever. The basis(the core) is the "our" world, no one from outside can get there. Watchmakers are the function of the tree to regulate its growth and care. They are creatures created by the tree. Worms of Nothingness are the timeless dead worlds and creatures from them.

Branches of the tree (history) - worlds what is created by the minds of people from the "our" world, acquires a real shell as a brunch and nourishes Irminsul so that it doesn't disappear (I think it is possible to say that Irminsul lives on the imagination of those people who live in its core). Each story goes on its own track. Which means a thoughtful plot. The task of watchmakers is to give stories the opportunity to grow and be finished (mostly to reach the intended end). Nonexistent worms eat the important for the plot things and the task of watchmakers is not to let Nothing-worms eat the world/ if the world is eaten, then guide it in another way (that is why stories can have strange twists of the plot)/follow the story to the end (though sometimes they are idiotic). The more the franchise is, the more it’s worth protecting, because Irminsul will get more nutrients from it. But don't forget about small ones, because corrosion begins with small. If the author doesn't have a clear plot/world/character structure, then they will be very weak to resist the nothing-worms. The Nothing-worms aspire to the main branches (canon), the small ones (au) protect it. First the worms pass through Au, and then proceed to the canon. It’s the watchmakers' job to stop them.

Nothing-worms (Worms of Nothingness, what fool coined this name?) - the remnants of vanished worlds that fused together. Driven by the desire to return to the original state, therefore devour living worlds. Practically have no consciousness.

Chronologists (in the common people - watchmakers) - the union subordinate to Irminsul, monitor the course of stories, protect the stories from the Nothing-worms, correct the stories devoured by the Nothing-worms, evacuate those stories that can no longer be corrected.

Dokuro En and Dokuro Mina, survivors of one of the eaten worlds, became watchmakers because they concluded that this was a best way to protect themselves and their family (what was left of it). Made a deal with Irminsul, and now a hundred generations (including themselves) need to work as watchmakers to protect Irminsul, and in return the tree gives them the strength and the ability to protect their family.

The Plot - there is no plot yet, but it is likely to be a collection of stories about the lives of some characters from these 100 generations.

TORI as the CHANTEUSE

She is always surrounded by an air of melancholy. She tends to be out of the main hero's reach perhaps because she is dangerous, because she is already involved with someone else (usually a villain), or simply because she is so aloof.

This character can be very useful for highlighting a feeling of loneliness, because her sultry songs will often create a feeling of a connection between the singer and the listener, but circumstances will prevent that feeling from becoming a true connection. For that reason, this trope is a favorite of Film Noir, a genre that thrives on a feeling of melancholy and stoic loneliness.

warnings for under the cut: animal death, general gross-ness of desecration of an animal corpse

And when he approaches the limp llama form on the floor of the tavern (already beginning to smell), he pushes it over onto its side to make it easier to pick up.

Crawling all over the llama’s belly are little, black, fuzzy—things.

    Scott actually cries out in disgust, pulling his arms to his chest. The things are—they look like patches of mold, and from a distance he might have been convinced that the body was simply growing something, but up close they’re wriggling and swarming and it’s absolutely revolting—because they aren’t just sitting en masse upon the llama’s body, but they seem to be . . . eating it.

    They don’t have mouths—or if they do, they’re too miniscule to tell—but Scott can see unmistakable flashes of red between them, and certainly they’re eating his friend.

    As he gazes in horror, something changes and their movements turn erratic, before they all begin to scatter from the body—and Scott doesn’t stick around to see the open carcass of the llama. He books it for the door, as the . . . things behind him reconvene upon the llama.

    Scott slams the front door of the tavern and leans against it, breathing heavily. What—   

What was that?

um yeah first draft and will def be edited but !!!!! very excited to write more of this

FAE KING HC's.

* when not in her fae king form ( like titania basically ) and anywhere else but the first, she uses the form that is most comforting - her former mortal body of dahlia. her aether is a little weird for some to be around as it feels generally calming, as does her voice if and when she speaks. her eyes shine and 100% glow in the dark. * sort of looks like tsukuyomi when in fae king form, though her robing and outfit is different. she seems to wear the base vieran attire but with some clothing attached that does drag behind her if she walks but looks like a light breeze is moving it when she hovers. * ambivalent. what she cares for really changes on the fly. but the people she recalls caring for ( the scions, her s/o if she has one ) will always get her focus. she will help. * assists in the final days but also probably makes things a little more complicated ( or worse ) but, in the end, her touch in the story does help. ( ie: would be one of the primals assisting to make the ragnarök get to ultima thule and then shield the WOL from endsingers' attack along with the scions ).
