Back in 2020 I did a Miraculous x Pokémon Swsh AU and since there I've been working on it. There, Marinette and her friends go to the Galar region to learn about it and watch the gym challenge, everything goes well until they discovered that Hawk Moth was also there, looking for mysterious relics that would cause/stop an apocalypse
I was heavily inspired by the 2nd and 3rd seasons of miraculous, other fanfictions also helped me to get an inspiration for my story like Scarlet Lady AU (@zoe-oneesama) and CN Akuma's (@10bendog), I'm very happy to talk about it here because it's a project that I've been working for 4 years and now I have the opportunity to talk about it
The links for read it in Portuguese:

English version is also available in AO3
So I've seen a lot of people (AHEM 2) say they hate Sadness...for being too sad??? Hello??? That's her job??? She's literally the embodiment of sadness. It's in her NAME. Put some respect on my girl's name smh. Anyways, fuck you guys, this is a Sadness appreciation post now.
They deserved better
I'm exhausted and I don't know why I'm exhausted because all I've done today is sketch this monstrosity:
And make an edit of Yami Bakura in 15 minutes but I don't think that counts :/
The only good part is his hand because I like drawing hands.
Do you see my aztecship vision?
Lightbringers, ready for the action!
Me and my friends on Twitter came with the idea of the Arclight siblings were in a rock band and there is: Lightbringers, ready to rock on!
III as the vocalist: Yeah his armor-like outfit is a brief reference to the armor that he was wearing in his duel against Yuma ( and a reference to Mizael's barian form too)
IV as the guitarist: I decided to go more creative with him, stylized hair, his guitar is a literal reference to Number 88 Gimmick Puppet of Leo and the color palette of his clothes resembles to Guitar Villain from Miraculous Ladybug
V as the drummer: It's simple to explain, he's cosplaying Dyson Sphere while playing technological drums
Happy III/III dayyy
Here is our Arclight baby boy 🥰
Chris has to bail him out of jail for attempted murder again 😓
AU where Christopher is the magic family dog
No, no. Please don’t laugh. I have it all planned out and it’s really sweet!
He is a borzoi! Yes, Afghan hound would have been more suitable but have you seen the borzoi? They appear mildly cursed, just like Christopher.
He was abandoned by his dog-mother because "no child of mine takes on the form of our masters."
Unlike most borzoi, he was bright blue eyes and to other dogs, smells…off. Really off. More man than dog. It freaks most dogs out.
Byron luckily found the little puppy and brought him home!
He was unsure of what to name the little borzoi until a few days later, when he found a young human child in the corner of the living room. The child had long white hair and could only make out a few words. Mildly alarmed, Byron didn’t recognize the borzoi until he saw his bright blue eyes.
Therefore, Byron named the dog Christopher, after Saint Christopher, who is occasionally depicted with a dog’s head.
Christopher’s preferred form is his dog form. After Thomas was born, they were inseparable.
Once, Thomas pulled Christopher’s tail and he turned into a naked human and chased him around the house. No one believed Thomas and Thomas spent many years thinking that all dogs did that
Christopher always sat by Thomas’ side and learned lessons with him. He also made sure Thomas stayed on track >:)
When Dr. Faker came over, Christopher got super aggressive. The man didn’t smell right.
As Dr. Faker appears more and more, Christopher changes into his human form and proposes to work with Byron.
Michael is very accepting of this, probably because he was around 5-6 when this happened.
As it’s still an occasional event with Christopher in his human form, Thomas sees it as a cool occurrence and doesn’t mind calling Christopher his brother. Sometimes he’d even bother Christopher to transform and help him with his homework.
Christopher works with Dr. Faker and Byron in order to keep an eye on Dr. Faker. No matter how many years he spends with Dr. Faker, something just feels off about him
When the betrayal happens, Christopher is devastated.
He spends the next 5-6 years in human form.
It’s really awkward between him and his siblings now…Thomas, especially. They used to be best friends but now, Thomas doesn’t know what to do with Christopher or how to feel about him. A few years ago, he was yelling at this guy to not drag his butt across the carpet and now this dog guy is bossing him around?? Awkward, much?
Post-Zexal, he finally has time to relax. Thomas asks about being a dog again. Gulp.
In truth, he’s forgotten how to transform. This human form of his is…although natural, still not as comfortable as his original form. He misses it, but doesn’t know how to get back.
Thus begins Thomas and Michael getting together to help Christopher!
Christopher feels silly doing all of these things with his brother, such as howling and running around doing…nothing. It’s embarrassing, especially as a human.
Nothing works until Thomas proposes to play fetch with Christopher. Christopher is very resistant at first.
"Just think of it as catch!"
They play. Christopher is hesitant at first and then gets into it!
He catches a high soaring ball and rushes back to Thomas.
Suddenly, Thomas feels a familiar lick on his face and opens his eyes to see his good old borzoi brother :)
He holds Christopher close and the two have a good round of cuddles. Christopher is so relieved to be back in his original form. He runs around, chases his tail and let’s out a few borzoi howls. Thomas, Michael and Tron join him in celebration. It really fills his borzoi heart with warmth.
Now more comfortable with himself, Christopher slides back and forth between human and dog. It takes a bit for Kaito to adjust that he was taught how to duel by a dog but with all the crazy stuff that’s happened, it’s not the biggest surprise he’s had.
It’s a small secret known only to the Arclights and the Tenjos.
The fact that I put Vector there three times
I couldn't think of anyone for "gives up" for some reason
A friend recently started watching zexal and can’t wait til she gets to one of my faves
the arclights go on splash mountain
The arclight family in Ben 10 omniverse style ( or at least I tried):
I Finally finished my drawings of how the Arclights would look in Omniverse artstyle, who are also their human designs in my YGO Zexal x Ben 10 AU since here they're aliens ( lenopans to be more specific, and these aliens can shapeshift so...):
V / Quinton ( Christopher):
IV/ Quattro ( Thomas):
III/ Trey ( Michael):
( his Bill Chipher t-shirt lol 😆)
And Finally Vetrix/ Tron ( Byron):
I was drawing more of my Omnizexal AU ( Ben 10 X Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal) and when I got the part of draw the arclight family in their human form ( they're lenopans in this AU), I accidentally draw III as a Gravity Falls fan having a Bill Chipher T-shirt...
Happy V/V!
My art for V/V:
Chris was a little difficult to draw due to his long hair, but I did it
Extremely simple edit but I'm kinda proud of it.
I love this mess of a family.
I'm (not) sorry, why is Quinton actually so fucking gorgeous?
Look at this man.
Mf is beautiful.
Just a question
I was thinking here, if there was an AU about the arclight siblings being barian emperors instead of having crests?
The way Astral develops emotions through the show is one of my favourite aspects of Zexal (if not my favourite, because I love him). At first, he didn't know what emotions were. He observed them without even considering that he might feel something like that. Yet, the more he experienced on Earth, the more he changed, slowly, but he changed: he learned to smile, to fear, to cry and to hope, all the types of emotions he felt have combine into his essence, without completely changing it.
Because Astral never becomes particularly open with his emotions, his personality remains calm and collected, like at the start of the show, yet developing into something more than that as all the emotions he had collected had made him grown.
His growth is slow and sometimes subtle, but you can see how much he had changed just by looking at him: the way he moves, his tone of voice, his eyes (that are very expressive most of the time, it's like they could speak for themselves), little details that can bet missed, but are very dear to me.
He has been paralyzed by the fear, he has been happy to be considered a friend, he lost himself to the pain and anger, he cried for sadness and happiness, and he learned to love with all himself.
And he did all this in his own way. He made those emotions really his own.

Keyswap AU at Vector's Number ruin probably:
Vector: So you like history?
Michael: Yeah?
Vector: Get ready to experience it first hand then! (Activates the death traps)
YGO Zexal Keyswap AU (AKA an excuse for me to engage in Aztecshipping) (I only thought this out through the WDC arc and even then there's still gaps-)(thanks to my friend usagi for helping me fill in some of these gaps)
(This is a long infodump, look out-)
-While looking for the interdimensional portal, but before adding Kazuma to the team, Byron and Faker made a trip out to a hypothetical location where they thought it would be. Faker didn't find what he was looking for, but Byron did get the Emperor's Key, so that's neat.
-Upon returning home briefly to see his younger sons, Byron gave the Key to Michael, figuring he'd love this kind of artifact.
-(Michael did in fact love it. Little nerd.)
-Byron then returned to his research, and then vanished. Michael and Thomas then end up in the orphanage, with Michael safeguarding what items he has left to remember his father (The Aztec Mask Golem card and the Key).
-Flash forward a few years, Michael is thirteen now, and due to a chain of events I have not worked out yet, the Key is activated and Michael meets Astral.
-(Michael is overjoyed at the interdimensional alien tied to the Key, if a bit annoyed that Astral's amnesiac state means he can't tell him much.)
-Michael also already knows how to play Duel Monsters already, but Astral still tries to backseat duel.
-Insert some Number hunting at the orphanage here. Michael's 'starter' Number is Chronomaly Machu Mech, and the first one he gets off someone else is Shark Drake.
-Eventually, when Michael is fourteen, Christopher/V finally comes back to collect Michael and Thomas from the orphanage. After everyone is reunited at Heartland, Tron performs the rituals to place the crests on Thomas and Michael, then requests that Michael return the Key to him.
-Michael refuses, not willing to sacrifice Astral, and Thomas, realizing that his baby brother and his invisible alien friend aren't safe in this situation, creates an opportunity for Michael to flee by picking a fight with V.
-Michael flees with the Key, only to end up breaking down later because he's now completely separated from his family, so soon after he'd thought he'd have them all back.
-Enter the Tsukumos, who let Michael stay with them for a while while he sorts himself out. He and Yuma start making friends.
-Michael is also encouraged to start attending school due to his age, and he tests into the first year of junior high despite being old enough for second year. This means he's now in the same year as Shark and Rio. This won't be awkward-
--Oh, wait, the whole situation with Shark, Rio, and IV happens. Things get awkward with Shark and Michael having to share a class, especially since Michael can't ask his brother what happened.
-Michael also continues Number hunting, though he's now racing his own brothers and Kaito for Numbers.
-Meanwhile, Yuma has also been getting inexplicably better at duelling? Despite not having Astral to help him? Odd, but okay.
-We finally catch up to where the series would have started. Michael is now fifteen and in second year of junior high, and Yuma has started at junior high as a first year. Finally, Michael and Yuma can be at the same school-
-Yuma also starts getting a bit concerned about the Key and Astral, but doesn't say much about why.
-Number hunting continues. Kaito has a WTF moment when he realizes that the guy scrambling for Numbers is Chris's younger brother
-WDC starts! Michael gets himself entered just fine, Yuma is also remarkably on the ball with entering!
-Michael and IV have at least one run in, then late on the second day Yuma and Michael witness V kidnapping Haruto. Michael only admits that the kidnapper was Christopher before he uses his crest to warp back to the Arclight family hideout in hopes of talking them down.
-But...Yuma is here. Wasn't he with Kaito a moment ago?
-Yeah. About that. Tron didn't like losing a pawn when Michael fled, and decided to just manipulate a new pawn instead of deal with an unwilling participant. And wouldn't you know it, Yuma happened to lose his father to Faker's betrayal, desperately wants to duel, and is kind of gullible, so Tron decided he'd make a good enough target, so long as he doesn't find out about the depths of the plan.
-Yuma got to learn to duel, is promised he'd find out more about what happened to his father, pretty much everything he wanted. Tron also convinces Yuma that the Key is influencing Michael like what the Numbers do to most people, so Yuma is convinced that he needs to help Michael by getting the Key.
-(The only thing keeping Yuma from just grabbing the Key sooner is the fact that Michael keeps it physically on his person as much as humanly possible, a habit picked up in the orphanage since leaving your stuff laying around there was a good way to get your stuff stolen.)
-How did Yuma get there before Michael did? Turns out, Tron decided to crest Yuma too, on the promise that it would let him control Numbers safely and protect him from having his soul taken by people like Kaito. Which was true, but conveniently left out what would happen if he lost while controlling a Number.
-In any case, Yuma, IV, and Michael all spend several minutes trying to convince each other to leave and back down before Kaito finally shows up via Orbital hangglider and forces a duel
-Insert Michael and Kaito VS IV and Yuma duel here. Yuma's signature Number is, of course, Hope.
-Duel ends, IV and Yuma flee, Haruto is returned with Yuma never being told what Tron wanted with Haruto in the first place. Tron claims his plan was simply to try and lure in Faker.
-Michael and Astral are horrified at finding out about Yuma, and end up sheltering with Shark for the night instead of returning to the Tsukumos. It's a good opportunity for Michael to talk to his classmate about what's happening/ask Shark about his interactions with IV and Yuma.
-(Shark got Leviathan Dragon instead of Shark Drake BTW. Michael still has Shark Drake, and IV was tasked with delivering Leviathan Dragon since Yuma wouldn't have wanted to hurt Shark.)
-The next day, Yuma contacts Michael and asks to talk. Talking turns into Yuma trying to get the Key in an attempt to save Michael from its assumed influence, which leads to a duel.
-Yuma finally tells Michael what Tron's been telling him and how he just wants to help/find out what happened to his father, Michael in turn tells Yuma the truth about what Tron wants/what the crest will do if Yuma loses while powerful Numbers are in play.
-They then find a way to loophole the duel's end so no one goes comatose, probably by having Yuma replace Hope with a Number not powerful enough to trip the crest.
-Flash forward a bit to the finals! Michael ends up having to face IV during the course of the finals, during which Tron taunts both of them at once. Michael wins, but is upset knowing his brother will go comatose.
-IV's last message to Michael before leaving is to tell him to keep going.
-IV: "Give Tron hell, Michael, Astral."
-Yuma saves Shark from Tron's influence as per canon, thus revealing that he's defected from Tron's side and knows what's truly up. (Tron's intention was for Shark to beat Yuma and let Yuma be cast aside once his role was done.)
-Michael and Yuma end up facing off one more time before the final. No playing around or loopholes this time, winner faces Tron and they both know it.
-Michael wins, and ends up crying as Yuma goes comatose as a result. However, Yuma does give Michael two new cards before slipping under: his signature monster, Hope, and Chronomaly Atlandis.
-Finally, Michael faces Tron and he's not happy. His brothers and Yuma are in comas, so many people have been hurt by Tron's scheming, and all Michael ever wanted was to have his family back.
-They duel. It's a mess, with Tron and Michael both giving their all, and culminates with Michael and Astral going Zexal.
-(Their Zexal form takes a lot of visual cues from Michael's gladiator outfit from the canon Yuma vs Michael duel, btw.)
-Michael wins, and when Faker takes all the Numbers, Michael attempts to save his father from being dragged in.
-Tron, realizing how far he's gone, releases all the affected souls and lets go of Michael, letting himself be dragged in to at least let Michael live.
-Seeing his father be taken away by Faker for a second time utterly breaks Michael. He decides to enact vengeance on Faker himself, storming off to the tower in a fit of rage, only to be intercepted by Yuma.
-After the breakdown plays out, the two decide to go in together to face Faker.
-Shark and Kaito end up turning up too, with the four all tag teaming against Faker.
-The gang wins, enter the second half of the series with the Barians. The only thing I have planned for the back half so far is Alito shows up and starts trying to flirt with Yuma, resulting in Michael getting jealous for 'some reason'. (He is oblivious to just how he feels about Yuma.)
Happy IV
YGO Zexal x Ben 10 AU: Kaito ( Kite) Tenjo
The 5th drawing of my Ben 10 crossover AU ( Omnizexal) is about our favorite number hunter, the greatest, Kaito Tenjo as a petrosapien.
He's like Tetrax, a intergalactic bounty hunter
Somehow I made the crystals in his head to look similar to his hair in original Zexal
And yeah, Chris taught him a lot of other things besides dueling, like fighting
As someone who loves seeing family dynamics in fiction, Yugioh Zexal came for my fucking throat.
There's Yuma, who misses his parents and lives with his grandma and older sister, who looks up to his father as a sort of idol and chooses to sleep in the attic with all the stuff brought back from their adventures because he still misses them so much.
There's Shark, who lost his parents as a child and then had to deal with his twin sister Rio ending up comatose in the hospital. Shark and Rio bicker and go at each other, but hurt one and you Will have the other coming for you.
There's Kaito, whose whole focus was on helping his younger brother Haruto recover, even if it meant damning himself in the process. He sacrifices his own well being via Photon Change time and time again for Haruto's sake, and puts up with so much from his shitty father, all for his baby brother.
And then there's the Arclights. The family patriarch Byron was betrayed and came back years later swearing revenge, using his sons as pawns in his scheme. The boys are also messed up, between V's emotional distance, IV's sadistic tendencies, and III's self sacrificial desperation to protect his family no matter the cost. And yet, the three brothers do still care about each other despite it all, remaining loyal to their broken little family despite knowing their position.
Zexal was so good on that front. It's one of my favourite YGO series.
YGO Zexal x Ben 10 AU: Shark and Rio
The 4th drawing of my AU ( Omnizexal) is here, now presenting the Kamishiro siblings as Aliens:
Shark as a Piscciss Volann: I decided to make him more shark-like, but retaining the traits of a common member of this species
Rio as a Necrofriggian: for her I took another path, since Big Chill's design in Omniverse sucks, I decided to inspire in another artists works to make a more UAF like design for her, and she looks like those mikd'ity necrofriggians that appeared in UA
nothing but a heartache
YGO Zexal X Ben 10 AU: Yuma's Friends part 1
Here with another drawing from my AU, this time I decided to portray some of Yuma's friends as aliens:
- Caswell as a Galvan
- Bronk as a member of the molestache species, but without a mustache
- Flip as an ickthyperambuloid
