Really Feeling The Same Pain As When Httyd3 Came Out Right Now. They Should Invent A Finale To My Favourite

OC meme redraw except for some reason I put a stupid amount of effort into it

Arcane AU where everything is mostly the same but at some point after the academy and before the events of the show Jayvik got married for the tax benefits and so Viktor could have a last name for practical reasons and basically it's a fake dating AU until someone else points out that neither of them seem even remotely bothered that this will impact their future romantic prospects with anyone outside their marriage

Thanks for the fanart!

i'm on a lot of nyquil right now

a more innocent life

If the scug could speak

Hmmm. That would be interesting, actually. A stepmother-type character who never actually tells rapunzel they have to stay in the tower, only that they should, for their own good. Now that I think about it, does the stepmother ever actually say rapunzel has to stay in the tower or is that just implied? I'll have to re-watch the movie.

I kind of like the idea of a timebomb rapunzel au because jinx has such ridiculously long hair so it's easy to imagine visually, but the stepmother character would logically be silco, but that doesn't really make sense to me because 1. His problem in season one is everyone kept saying PUT A LEASH ON THAT GIRL SHE'S EXPLODING THINGS and he was like no. She can do whatever she wants. Even to the point where it was actively detrimental to his own revolution. So basically I can't imagine him trying to keep her in a tower. He's not the healthiest of guardians but that's not really something he'd do. Secondly, I don't think he COULD do that if he tried. Keeping someone in a tower does not work if they find a way to explode the tower

Rain world iterators but they're weird skrunkly bird things

Finally made a fursona! First is the furby version, second is the bugsnax version, third is the demon version.

Definitely for Jayce's sake...

...and maybe because she's one of the councillors most likely to be sympathetic to the undercity...

(not much competition there, considering most of the other councillors are bastards)

...but ALSO because I think he's be both nice enough to just want to do so and hubristic enough to think he could.

He is a scientist, after all.

So here's how Mel can survive. The bomb definitely gonna hit her, right? She basically has a target on her back. But hear me out:

Gold prosthetics.

We've got Finn's jaw thing, which I dunno if it's even a prosthetic but it's a big gold thing integrated with his body, and we've got two councillors with large gold parts of their body: that woman with the giant rings, which I think is just meant to be an accessory based on the ndebele people's neck rings, but the thing is about those rings irl is they may not TECHNICALLY be a prosthetic but they do deform the body of the wearer over time and I imagine they're hard as fuck to remove, so the line between them and the body is thin - and then there's the councillor whose entire body is just gold prosthetics to the point where you can't even tell what race he is under there!

So, yeah, there's precedent for gold prosthetics already, and Mel is absolutely COVERED in gold. It's an incredibly obvious visual motif - and not only is it obvious, but the parts where the gold ends and she starts are actually incredibly unclear already.

Like, what's going on with her shoulders and neck? How are those gold plates staying on there if they're not embedded into her skin? She's literally sleeping and they're still in there. You're telling me this isn't foreshadowing that she's gonna get gold prosthetics later on? Maybe something on her shoulders and back, where the bomb is definitely going to blow her the fuck up?

The arcane is a show absolutely full of prosthetics, to the point where if anyone loses any part of themselves at any point, however small, you can guarantee it'll come back as a prosthetic at some point (even Jayce's mum's fingers are visibly frostbitten in his flashback and in the future she has finger prosthetics!), so if they're injuring this woman who they've also very intentionally SMOTHERED in gold, there's no way she isn't gonna become some sort of gold cyborg.

And who's gonna do it to her? Mr. Glorious Evolution, of course. That or Jayce, but... I dunno, if I was to take bets on who's gonna make her a goldborg I'd go for mr. transhumanism.
