#but yeah tbh i dont remember much of the original crossover au other than the fact that riku would have been living with makoto

[princekirijo]

✨and 🍀 for riku?? i'm curious hehe

HELL YAH BOY TIME!!!

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

OK so I think I've mentioned this before but Riku actually started out as a Link variant would you believe. I created him about 5? years ago now back when I was kinda coming out of my Zelda phase and into my Persona phase! I saw some really cool artwork someone did where they gave various smash bros fighters personas, I saw the Link one and was like that is cool as hell what if I combined the two.

Then as I started to basically become consumed by Persona and Riku!Link began to evolve as a character I decided to semi scratch him and turn him into the Riku I know and love today :] His original name was Rinku (the Japanese name for Link) but after doing some research I randomly came across Riku and saw it meant Land and Handsome. At the time Riku was an Earth Persona user (it was an element in P2 but now he's the other P2 element: Water/Aqua) and he's a handsome lad so the name really fit.

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

Well I guess I kinda answered that in the part above haha. I know I was actually supposed to do an OC chart for him where I would like show the characters that inspired him but I never got round to it, so I'll just list them here! The main ones (aside from yukamitsu but that should be kinda obvious cause well... they're his parents 💀) are Simba, Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet (the movie), Flynn Rider, Sylvain and Claude from Fire Emblem, and of course Link! Won't lie I guess I could be counted in that category too because I did put a good amount of myself into him.

Also I have been told he is like other characters too (unintentional on my part) and they would include: Karma from Assassination Classroom, Childe from GI (unfortunate fr but they do have similarities I won't lie 😭😭) and more recently Allister from Dragon Age Origins. Do what you will with that information.

#asks #misty-wisp #riku kirijo #DUDE THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!! #always happy to talk about my boy #we are not gonna talk about how riku has the most embarrassing kin list FRRRRR #unironically him and simba have such similar character arcs #head in my hands tlk defined so much of my childhood i keep putting pieces of it into my work #i feel like there's other inspirations too im just forgetting them you know #but yeah tbh i dont remember much of the original crossover au other than the fact that riku would have been living with makoto #which is hilarious now #but yeah thanks again for the ask :] #i hate the ch!lde allegations but my man isn't really escaping them #especially black mask riku 😭

A comprehensive list for Characters, Aus, and Nicknames:

So buckle up this is probably going to be one of the longer posts. I tried to organize it in a way that makes sense who knows if i succeeded

Au: Fellswap Gold

———— Fellswap Gold is the au in which everything is taking place. I’m definitely tweaking things(side eyes the shit out of my own oc) but for the most part i like the worldstate as is because the world building the original creator did is fucking awesome. Basically 1950s-1960s style kinda world where the underground has been freed and there is a relative sort of peace at this point in time. relations between monsters and humans are somewhat tense.

The boys live in a city that was built at the foot of ebbot that was designed to be the place where humans and monsters could prove coexistence possible. Though not many humans were really chomping at the bit to go live there.

FellSwap Gold Papyrus - Pap, Pyrus

FellSwap Gold Sans - Sans, Fearless

Fellswap Gold Alex - Alex, Human, Firestarter(It was One Time!)

Au: Fellswap Violet

———— so this is one of the aus i had a hard time researching initially and im planning on trying to go looking for more info before i write anything for cash. Most of my current knowledge of him is tangential to other crossover fics.

For the purposes of this fic though Cash served a role in his underground as something of an information broker and protection dealer(among other things). in his timeline the monsters have been freed and Cash has been on the straight and narrow for a while.

Fellswap Violet Papyrus - Purple, Cash

Au: Dancetale

———— Campbell is the closest we actually get to a classic sans and i wanted him here because for one thing i think the dynamics of dancetale are so cool but also i dont tend to see a lot of fics that include him in the crossovers. So why not? Also he looks so soft and squishy in comparison to the fell aus. In Campbells timeline The Underground has yet to be freed. This may be important later

Dancetale Sans - Campbell

Au: Gourmet-tale

———— par is from an au my friends designed that i made an oc for and then also made a couple of variants of as time went on. They are my baby tbh and i love them dearly. So dearly as to kinda wanna watch them vaguely suffer.

This particular variant is from an au where the monsters were never sealed underground. This world is high-key very food focused to the point where honestly this au is basically a cooking anime. Par works in a hole-in-the-wall cafe as a waiter. Also to be noted Par is in fact a variant of Alex. Yeah remember how i mentioned monsters were never sealed? Yeahhhh humans dont really exist anymore by this point in time; theyre basically nonexistent as the species got subsumed by monsterkind.

Par the Fire/Earth Elemental - Par, Hothead

Au: nonexistent

———— Broadcast’s au no longer exists and whoever they were before what they are now, they do not know and do not care. Broadcast exists because they are mainly based on the idea that the multiverse is essentially a living organism and things like broadcast exist to destroy decaying cells before they spread decay to healthy cells. The cells in question are the infinite verses that exist.

Their job so to speak isn’t necessarily to destroy everything in their path but to look for the things that are already decayed to the point of no return. Sometimes Broadcast can save a bit of something that hadn’t decayed yet or, in rare cases, even fix a decaying verse by destroying the source of decay before it gets too far along. They’re less a god of destruction and more just the cleanup crew. They are also half of a pair of their own. And together they very much exist in a yin and yang like balance, creating from destruction and destroying from creation both in turn. All in all they were very fun to make but they are essentially an oc inspired off of error rather than a variant of error!Sans himself by this point.

If you want info/references about error!sans go take a look at LoverofPiggies here on tumblr.

I’d also suggest taking a look at the “forced god of destruction” tag on Ao3 as that played some pretty good parts in broadcasts design as well

Error! Alex - Static, Broadcast, Bars, Editor

Au: Storyshift Swap(bara)

———— hoo boy so i had a very specific idea for cobalt initially and when i went to do research because surely someone had already created this au yes? Yknow what i found? Practically nothing. So very much in keeping with the rest of this fic i rolled up my sleeves and went i guess im making it??? Storyshift is already confusing ill admit and swapping everything around definitely made it moreso but i had fun with it.

Cobalt lives in the ruins, very much haunted by the decisions his brother has come to and has been desperately trying to protect each child that goes through the ruins. He has yet to succeed. Needless to say The monsters have yet to escape the underground in his timeline.

Storyshift Swap Sans - Robes, Cobalt

Au: SpaceOpera

———— ooh this is a fun one. So technically Antares is as he is described however i want you to toss everything except the bare bones of the Outertale au out. It wont help you here.

This is another au me and my friends made and never posted anything about ever. But we were obsessed. This thing got so much worldbuilding to it! I got to design a whole ass planetary system and lifecycle!!! Ooh it was fun! So i wanted to pull one of the characters in for this. Antares is also the only one who would recognize Par as there is a version of them within his timeline. Speaking of:

Antares’ timeline is a long and convoluted one this is in part due to Monsters not being a singular species within his universe. They are various species who are all united(for the most part) by treaties and the like to a galactic community. Antares is from a species that looks vaguely like skeletal insects. His original planet was also destroyed and he was among the few lucky enough to survive the following extremely difficult years(this is where the horror part is accurate) his people are currently within the rebuilding process of their home and culture on a new planet and are on the mend.

[in-a-cave-with]

can you make a list of every mavel comic you've ever read (good and bad) i just finished iron man (1998) and i thoroughly loved it with all its best and weird bits

GOOD™

iron man stuff:

tales of suspense (1963) – a classic. 100/10. would read several times

iron man vol 1 (1968) – i’m on, like, issue 20 out of 300 something but it’s also very very good! the drama..the action……..wig

iron man vol 3 (1998) – obv i know youve read this one anon but for anyone out there starting comics this one’s SUPER good, and also Love Is Stored In The Tonyru

iron man vol 4 (2005) – listen this comic. so great, so iconic. maya hansen! epic fights! director stark! good art except for, like, the 6 issues of execute program but execute program is such a good story arc that you wont even notice! 

iron man noir (2010) – INDIANA JONES AU TONY STARK, LITERALLY THE BEST CONCEPT MARVEL’S COME UP WITH. PEAK COMICS IRONFAM

iron man legacy (2010) – i enjoyed this one a lot! i’m kind of confused as to, like, what’s going on but it’s fun

iron man season one (2013) – ok so this is, like, a modern remake of tony’s origin story and it’s..kind of average imo but thats ok! bc you can just look at the very very pretty pictures

iron man fatal frontier (2013) – tony becomes governor of the moon and fights doom! also he takes down an ai with weaponized fanfiction somewhere in there. read this one with a .cbr reader

invincible iron man vol 2 (2015) – gonna maybe fuck around and rec bendis’ entire iron man run bc . the art is gorgeous and the story isn’t the strongest but tony’s characterization is v good 

international iron man (2016) – ok i dont remember what happens in this one but alex maleev’s art is literally god 

invincible iron man vol 3 (2016) – RIRI WILLIAMS!!!! AND ALSO AI TONY STARK (MY SON MY BOY WHOM I LOVE)!!!!

other stuff:

new avengers vol 1 (2005) – as i have said before. new avengers GOT the sauce. stevetony and caroljess on one team was too powerful so marvel had to break em up with civil war . also stop reading this comic when you get to civil war

civil war: casualties of war (2007) and civil war: the confession (2007) – these are both oneshot comics and also the Only Civil War Content You Need To Subject Yourself To

spider-man noir (2010) – a break from the avengers stuff to tell you that this comic is very brutal and also very good

secret invasion (2010) – ok avengers emh did it better™ but this is still very neat! also it’s pretty trippy so its got that going for it too

siege (2010) – i dont understand what’s going on but the art is very good. also the avengers get to beat up norman osborn’s bitch ass

avengers prime (2011) – apparently this is the “stevetony bible” and …honestly there isn’t anything i can say in objection to that

avengers vol 4 (2010) – this comic is SUPER fun. after the fear itself tie ins the art and story get pretty eugh though so be careful

fear itself (2012) – BEST BEST BEST!!! my favorite crossover event in comics, with cool art and a badass storyline

captain marvel vol 4 (2012) – can we get a yeehaw for CAROL DANVERS . hell yeah. this is her first run with the name captain marvel and it’s Very Good

avengers: the enemy within (2014) – captain marvel vol 4 ends on a cliffhanger and the storyline’s capped off here

avengers vol 5 (2013) – ok so *clown noises* i haven’t exactly finished it but…this is the One Was Life The Other Was Death comic and it’s super good from what ive read so far

hawkeye (2013) – matt fraction’s run! everyone and their dog wants you to read it and you absolutely should if you have not. not too sure abt the volume numbering but heres a link to download in TPBs, it’s volumes 1-4

captain marvel vol 5 (2014) – this is the volume featuring chewie (!!) and carol in outer space with the guardians of the galaxy (!!!). super fun in general, would read again

ms marvel (2014) – again i am VERY confused as to what the official issue/volume numbering is, but here’s a list of TPBs that collect pretty much every kamala khan comic pre 2019 (im gonna rec all of them bc kamala is a treasure)

doctor strange vol 3 (2015) – literally everything i want from a comic tbh, also chris bachalo’s art is amazing

marvel 1872 (2015) – no one actually calls this Stevetony Bible 2 but lbr it’s basically Stevetony Bible 2

all-new all-different avengers (2015) – BEST AVENGERS TEAM EVER. EVER. PLEASE BENDIS WHY DID YOU BREAK THIS TEAM UP IM SAD

the unbelievable gwenpool (2016) – oh god oh fuck it’s miss GWEN POOLE . this comic is super funny and also surprisingly heartfelt, plus the art is . mmm.

champions (2016) – the gen z superhero team, i love all of them so much. i can almost forgive marvel for ending anad avengers

hunt for wolverine: adamantium agenda (2018) – so this is, after 11 goddamn years, closure for the first civil war regarding tony and the new avengers that sided with steve. amazing.

the life of captain marvel (2018) – the carol origin retcon is…eh. but it’s still very good! think of it as carol’s international iron man

avengers: back to basics (2018) – kamala goes back in time and accidentally reveals tony’s secret identity and it’s the funniest fucking thing

captain marvel (2019) – the first issue is everyone bullying tony which sucks but DONT LET THAT GET YOU DOWN bc it’s, like, actually good and also tony appears more in later issues without getting bullied

war of realms (2019) – i guess it’s a marvel rule that all crossover comics having to do with asgard are Top Notch? anyway

loki (2019) – AMAZING loki shenanigans and also the REAL reason you needed to read war of realms tbh

ironheart (2019) – gosh i love riri williams so much she’s so GREAT and you should DEFINITELY READ THIS

QUESTIONABLE™:

invincible iron man vol 1 (2008) – matt fraction’s iron man run…it’s ..ok story wise? however the characterization is a lil off at times and the art is HORRIBLE

iron man vol 5 (2013) – ok so this comic is super weird ? because it’s nice that tony spends time out in space but also it confirms that he’s a furry apparently. pretty much the only truly average iron man comic

avengers vol 8 (2018) – okay so i really like the art and the story’s okay but there’s a bit where tony flirts w carol and it’s the most ooc thing ive ever seen and that’s enough to land it in the questionable category

tony stark: iron man (2018) – i debated over whether to put this here or in the Bad™ category BUT valerio schiti’s art is too beautiful and the rhodeytony content fuels me. also issues 12 and 13 (war of realms) written by gail simone are pretty good. unfortunately dan slott wrote the rest and it AINT IT CHIEF

gwenpool strikes back (2019) – it starts off strong in the first issue but goes downhill from there and tbh it’s not really respectful of the previous gwenpool run

magnificent ms marvel (2019) – ok listen i love kamala a lot but if theres gonna be a romance plot between her and bruno it’s the electric chair

BAD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS™

iron man vol 2 (1996) – just. don’t touch this. it’s a hot mess

civil war (2006) – i hate this. so much. it’s unreal. all you need to know is that steve was real close to killing tony in the end but surrendered when he saw that he no longer had the moral high ground. and also steve got assassinated right before he was going to be put on trial

mighty avengers (2007) – this comic had the potential to be SO good. unfortunately the artists for the actual avengers issues don’t respect women at all

superior iron man (2015) – they made tony evil and i could not be more angry with it. who even fucking wants to read this theres not even any emotional payoff for any of this

civil war ii (2016) – i would hit this stupid comic in the knees if i could. there is not a single c*vil w*r with rights. all you need to know is that carol put tony into a coma and it’s super ooc

iron man 2020 (2020) – listen i know this comic hasn’t come out yet but it has all the ingredients to be EVEN WORSE than superior iron man which is saying a lot.

this took way too much effort

#long post #tony stark #iron man #comics rec #i have read..many comics
