This one’s for the main story and I’m reaaaallly really liking it rn. It’s the third(?) cover idea I’ve had for the main au, or at least for part one. But if this version doesn’t end up working out for whatever reason then I’m sure I’ll be able to eventually feature it somewhere 🤷♂️
There was actually a blending mode mistake when putting the colors in for the background that I ended up liking over the original idea. Hence the soft pinks and purples :)!
The previous one I posted about, though, is for FD’s backstory specifically. In case there’s any sort of confusion.
Yeah, yeah. I've heard your begging. No trauma this time-
Okay...maybe a just little bit-
Siren!Barb :D
HOLD ON-
Is that? Firetroll!Walter. (He also has a tail in this AU but I forgot to draw in)
AND WAIT! Is that-
MORE VERSIONS?! ahem. Yes.
I am completely broken-
This month ended me.
AnYwAys-
The AU:
So Walter stumbles across a Siren, at first she tries to put him under her spell to use him for her own gain. And it works, at first.
But due to him being a sort of fire-troll-changeling creature it dosen't work for long. He soon breaks from her spell as she tries to look deeper into his mind and he accidently burns her. (He can’t always control his powers)
She swims away, obviously scared. He tries to grab her, wanting to apologize but she is too fast.
After that he comes to that place every day to bring her flowers and she eventually comes to him again. They talk things out, apologize and start to fall in love. (But it's forbidden romance trope ;])
Now...close ups as always:
Sooo fun facts to this AU:
• Walter accidently burns things when he is veeeerrrrryyy emotional. He has a lot of power wich makes it hard to keep it cool. (You know...cool...because he has fire powers and-) He burns the flower because he is a bit flustered-
• Barb is some sort of Siren or Nymph. She needs to to spell people/creatures to get a certain "magic" from their soul. It's a need to survive. Ofc her kind often does it out of fun but she only does it for survival. It's basically a need, like food. After explaining it to Walter, he agrees to let her use it on him if she needs it. (Don't ask me how and why. Just accept it-)
• Basically their kinds aren’t allowed to talk to each other. They certainly don’t care but will get in much trouble because of it. And Jim exists. Yayyyy. He isn’t dead-
• The Trollhunter also exists in this world. Jim will be the Trollhunter and get the abilitie to walk on the earth due to ✨️magic✨️. Walter is still part of the "bad guys". They have a kind of magic war between the elements and humans. And yeah. UHM just accept it as It is. My brain is completely broken-
I lost my person and ever since then everything has been just rly weird and fucked up and it’s been over 2 years so I’m humiliated by how much it still hurts every day it’s like it somehow manages to get more difficult and painful with time when it’s supposed to be getting better and I have so much heartache that I have no idea what to do with
