Ok so I need to vent about something here. I've been playing assassin's Creed: Odyssey and I have two complaints that make me angry.
1) WHY ARE THERE CACTI IN ANCIENT GREECE!!!! Cacti are a plant that almost exclusively grows in the Americas and at the time of ancient Greece why do the islands have cacti.
2) I don't really know how to feel about how they portray Persephone and Hades relationship. So I have stoped calling Persephone, Persephone and have instead been calling her bitch
3) I want more quest lines with Cassandra / alexiosis family. It's like you finish the main quest line then they're just lieutenants. That's it. I want family drama! I want Cassandra alexios and stentor to have a awesome sibling bonding adventure! I feel like the main character and Nikolaos need a better story together! AND WORT OF ALL WAS MYRRINE she was a badass mom and now that the story is over she is shoved to the side never to be seen again.
In summary my love floral culture has stained one of my favorite games. Persephone is a bitch and the game really likes to remind you that she is a prisoner and that Hades is the worst husband ever. And finally the family is an underutilized part of the game and we need some side quests with them they would be so much fun.
I love making us an ocs it’s part of my enjoyment of media sometimes there story altering and change huge chunks of the story and sometimes there small joke ocs that have little to no baring on the plot, and sometimes there an oc that is active in the story but the plot doesn’t change all that much.
Like my ATLA oc Mebh in the context of the show she has very little say in the story. And that on purpose I love avatar and I wouldn’t want to change it in a au and risk butchering it’s themes and story. After avatar and lok however are free rain in my mind. So here’s my atla au.
The spirit would in my mind is a bridge between other worlds it has many connections to many different places
One of those places is the world of the avatar and then there’s the world of witch’s
Mebh grew up in this world where magic and spells rain supreme, but magic is extremely difficult and laws limit it’s use to the upper classes with people having to go to extremely expensive schools and gain permission from the raining sovereign to practice magic
Mebh is a lower class girl from a small town
In the beginning of the series we would know nothing about her backstory just know she practiced magic illegally and got stuck in the world of avatar along with her familiar a owl griffin named peaches
Lost she runs into Zuko and Iroh during the first year of his banishment, she saves there lives from something and iroh decides to help her and she joins them on the ship
Mebh doesn’t ever help zuko on his journey to find the avatar, even after they find aang, but she never hinders it she just there to hangout with iroh and go through iroh therapy
She’s not really out of place and you can just assume for the most part that she’s a non bender with a weird look
She has light red hair that she keeps in two long braids and her clothes are a mix of fire nation, earth nation, and a earasaid so yea she stands out
Before the raid of the northern water tribe her magic is hinted at but due to how different it is she still only practices it In secret but now with the help of iroh who helps her figure out spells and magic
During the raid on the northern water tribe she mostly stays with iroh until the moon spirit scene
Mebhs people hold the moon in very high regard and credit it as there patron so when general zhao kills it she immediately attacks him with magic and only stopping when aang and the ocean spirit work together
After this her secret is out and she uses magic a lot more
I’m in the middle of trying to draw Peeta but it’s not coming out right so I’m going to come back to him later. But for now I made a joke oc!
Meet Mel and Donut
Mel was the victor of the 72nd hunger games and is from district 8
She grew up on a sheep farm next to a village in the middle of nowhere
I have a lot to say about this farm and how her name got pulled but I don’t want to get into it right now
She won her games by taming a wolf mutation who fought alongside her/for her
This is Donut she’s a huge wolf, probably as big as a Mastiff with huge teeth and claws that was made to kill, but the capital forgot to take out the pack bonding and after a joint traumatic experience Mel and Donut became inseparable
Here’s the joke part since Donut is a wolf and looks like a big fluffy husky she became so popular that no one even remembers Mel
Even on official documents and public appearances Donut is labeled the victor instead of Mel
Mel and Donut mostly just live on her parents sheep farm next to a village that’s so small and remote they didn’t even know there was a war
I actually do want to talk about the village now
I don’t think the capital has enough resources to have control over everyone in North America, I’m not talking about the well documented small town I’m talking about the random groups of people that live in the middle of nowhere and Alaska
Mels from one of those groups
What the capital just thinks is Mel’s dad and uncle’s sheep farm is a small village of less than 300 people, there lives are still terrible but there’s no peacekeepers
I keep thinking of this au. Like in the last ever after when Merlin showed up I totally thought Morgan would at least get a mention but sadly no she did not. What’s worse is that thematically she fits perfectly in the story, she is everything Sophie is supposed to be. I really hate the strict line between Evers and Nevers like it just gets repetitive as the story goes on and forces characters to never learn and grow. Morgan le fey could be a character who originally is an Ever but turns into a Never before finally growing as a person and just is herself refusing either classification.
She even has a connection to Avalon and was the one who brought Arthur there when he died! Like that’s potential right there. I also think that the reason she didn’t like guenavire was because she was cheating on Arthur with Lancelot but I’m also pretty certain that after her redemption off screen she just stoped caring because to be honest she didn’t really like Arthur all that much to begin with.
The books mention lands outside the schools influence so I In this au I also have her get married and have children with the son of the sugar plum fairy. Which is a title rather than a single person.
alright so I just finished all six books in the school for good and evil and my brain in buzzing with au’s already. like I kind of wish that Morgan le Fay was in there. like it would be hilarious that the sister to the great king Arthur with how he is portrayed in the book has a this crazy prankster of a sister just running around and causing chaos. I know a lot of people see her as a evil sorceress but I like her as a loony tunes like villein or a trickster. witch makes her off screen redemption arc extremally funny. like in the original(not sge) green knight story the entire purpose that he is there is because Morgan thought if the green night got his head cut off Guinevere would see it and just die. like that is so stupid, but I love it!
Edit: spelling and contradiction correction
An update to my last post about my percy jackson au(still working on it) but i changed some things about Molly.
Her age is now 6-7 not 10-11
she is a child of neptune
scottish
those are pretty much all of the changes to her character.
In this AU Jason and Saoirse are the first of Bruce’s kids to get married but the second to have kids. and I truly believe the type of father that Jason Todd would be, not just in my AU but in most media would be Bob from Bobs Burgers.
Like in my AU they get Married around 23-25, but they do not have kids until they’re 30. and yes there kids would act like the Belchers. I mean if tired dad Jason had a kid like Louise he would firmly believe that his kid is karma for all he has done.
and just imagine a family of superhero's and Gene who is not a vigilante but he is a cheerleader. and Tina just an emotional anxiety filled tween who freaks her family out even though she is also not a vigilante. and Louise would absolutely be Robin and she loves playing roller derby, but I think her Batman should be her uncle Tim. obviously they wouldn't have the same names or the exact same personality but you get the idea
I personally think there names should be Lynn as the oldest, Donald but people call him Danni, and finally Cecile.
So I really like the popular fanon of the hunger games being a memoir that Katniss wrote and published. But recently I came across an analysis here on tumblr (don’t remember by who) about how Katniss writing and publishing the hunger games is out of character for canon Katniss. That got me thinking about how in the real world people close to and especially the children or parents of a famous person will write or edit a diary of a loved one after they have died.
So here’s the idea what if Katniss wrote down her experiences in a journal in order to process her trauma perhaps around the time of the epilogue. Fast forward years into the future and Katniss and Peeta have died of old age, while going through all their parents stuff the toast babies find the journals and decide to read them.
Together they would publish the journals maybe as a way to preserve their parents story or their might be some misleading rumors they want to stop. Ether way the toast babies publish the books and Katniss stays in character.
they are sitting and pondering
Here is Hesina from @nevertheless-moving Hesina Willshaper au!! I hope you like it!! The skirt is that big because of the big bag of snacks she keeps in her pockets.
