Hi so damn that was a fast answer zlxnsoxn
Honestly, I'd already drawn it but didn't know if I could post :''D
My apologies on the super messiness of it, I tend to draw cats. I might doodle some more, but this was my ref.
(More writing under the cut)
Anyways, my version of Y/N! I read with my name, but I'm going to call her Nautilus because it's easier.
OKAYBOKAY SO originally I had her with, like, brown "hair". Because me. But then I was like, "that doesn't make sense because she's underwater" so I made her have purplish hair.
I think I remember reading that she had some bioluminescence??? In, like, the first chapters or something, but maybe it was her talking about how she knows other Mers who have that, but not to the extent od Sun/Moon.
ANYWAYS so she has bioluminescent freckles scattered about her body, but primarily on her face. Her fins, which are a dark dark blue, can somewhat splay out and have bio markings on them.
I imagine they're incredibly bright, and form swirling patterns, and maybe eyes on her ear fins? To scare off predators and such. I just really like glowing things, lmaoo.
Her eyes, if you squint, went through a few different colors;
First was a darker blue (similar to mine irl). I scrapped this immediately because it's not exactly realistic on a fish.
Then I went with a bright yellow-amber. Then scrapped THAT because it didn't fit right (imo)
Then there was bright green, but I still didn't like it.
So then I FINALLY looked up deep sea eye colors, and the unanimous answer was a pale, milky blue. So that's the color I settled on.
Back to colors: I chose a dark blue/purple palette because (A) I like those colors and (B) I think they're more realistic for underwater. Because camouflage, y'know?
I know that it was mentioned several times (?) that her scales dulled while in the aquarium, so I made a diluted version, too I just made a layer of grayish over it lmao
Okay uh so headcanon time I guess??
-- Nautilus used to flash her bio marks to show off in her pod. She had some of the brightest, and she took pride in that.
-- She often would keep her hair up. Be it buns, ponytails, or braids. Her sisters, grandmother, and great-grandmother would often play with it.
-- Eldest of five (all sisters), Naut was often in charge of babysitting. She became quite good at it, and would often babysit the pups in her pod.
-- In doing so, she amassed a GIANT collection of shells. She treasured all of them.
-- Her initial hesitance towards Vanessa was slightly thawed because the blonde reminded her of her oldest-younger sister, Anemone, a pale mer with yellowish "hair".
-- She had a pet Leaf Sheep when she was a pup. Screw reality, I'm going to say they live longer than a year. When it died, she was heartbroken.
-- After Petal (she was not original with names back then) died, she adopted an Oarfish. His name is Titan. He is very much alive. She misses him desperately.
-- Absolutely will talk Sun and Moon's ear off about him. They originally thought he was a suitor or something.
-- If they ever make it to her old home or pod, Titan will be there. Sun and Moon will be scared shitless. Titan will come up, check 'em out, then immediately go curl around Nautilus. He's a giant sweetheart.
-- If they DON'T ever get home, Titan will eventually find them, and the above will occur
-- Look I just want my mer to have a pet sue me
-- Anyways, speaking of Vanessa: I like to imagine she'd have a more gold sheen to her (eventual) scales. Which causes Naut to be even MORE attached.

i feel like camemberts playlist and story are a bit too serious for this song which has a bit of a meme reputation but truly i think camembert is experiencing the once in a lifetime emotion .

Okay so I know you said you don't want Jazz to have any major abilities like mind control, but what about a passive one? My idea is that she could actually subconsciously influence the feelings or restraint of the people around her. It could even be an ability she has at home that she just never noticed. Her parents have their own immunity to it thanks to all the ectoplasmic exposure, but it's helped a couple times with convincing teachers to look the other way for her brother. Clockwork tells her about it when they go to the DCU, so she has the perfect opportunity to practice using it consciously by causing riots via hundreds of people's misplaced aggression (which helps her get her own anger and stress out too).
Actually, that's a really good idea! Passive abilities in the DP characters could be fun to explore and possibly put a hitch in their plans if they have to work around it. I'm all for crack fics where one side is completely blindsided over and over again, but if someone wanted to make it a little more serious, factoring in possible passive abilities can lead to moments where the superheroes actually have a chance at catching/defeating Fenton and the others if they manage to find out about those abilities and use it to their advantage.
As you said, Jazz seems like the best candidate for this; she could be the force that gets the ball rolling. Because if Jazz has passive supernatural abilities, then what are the chances Danny and the others have some too? After all, they've been exposed to ectoplasm more than Jazz, and she was never tangled up with a ghost for a long time. (Right? It's been a while since I've watched the show. I don't think she was possessed for a super long time by a powerful ghost or anything.) Or maybe she developed that passive talent as a defense against the more powerful ghosts, and the others don't have that kind of ability at all.
Emotional manipulation is a scary ability, after all; maybe Clockwork allowed her to join Danny for the sake of refining her power.

random facts for my Dead On Main childhood friends au:
Danny's ghost form changed when he was with Jason in the ghost zone, and then reverted back to how it was after he died when Jason disappeared.
Danny as a human has blue-green eyes. As in, his eyes are blue with the lower half being green, and they bleed into one another at the middle. This is entirely because of Danny being a halfa, its meant to represent how he's no longer completely human.
In contrast, Jason's eyes are teal with hints of green. This is because he was revived. One half crawled out of the grave, and the other never left.
If you stare at Danny's eyes for too long, it sometimes looks like the green and blue are swirling together but never mixing, like water and oil. People agree that its very beautiful, but very unsettling.
Danny's lichtenberg figures as a ghost are black, and when he cries his tears float and disappear when they fall off his face. The tears have a thick, almost gel-like substance to them if you touch it.
Danny's ghost form is pretty unsettling - he fully embraced the fact that he died and in turn strongly shows it through his ghost form, plus the additional effect his grief has on his form. He's not who you would think of when you're told "we have a ghost hero protecting the city". he looks like someone the hero would fight. Danny usually keeps his goggles on over his face for this reason.
The black space on his suit, naturally, has stars on them. they shift and move as he does, and sometimes there are nebulae that swirl into view.
His lair in the ghost zone is an observatory, but like one of those fantasy looking ones that you'd see in some kind of solarpunk ghibli movie. it's huge on the inside, with a long hallway with polaroids strung along the walls, and doors leading into different rooms. The main room is the 'observe floor' with a large domed ceiling and furniture littered around near the walls, and more polaroids. Danny can press a button on the side wall to 'open' the dome ceiling and reveal a night sky above his head that he can float up into. some of these stars are danny's memories that play when you touch them. danny can move the night sky around like an interactive screen, and find new stars. This observatory has a hammock.
Danny's got his 'Kill The Clown' corkboard in his lair as well, it mirrors out into his apartment.
Oh. The hole in his heart. You can stick your hand into it. Or try to. Danny's gonna shove you back immediately though, because it feels weird. And also it's gonna leave a Substance on your hand that's gonna be really hard to take off, stains afterward, and has the consistency of semi-thick ink and oil. His tears are made of the same stuff.
Danny's Ghost Forms below (without his mad scientist goggles bc i forgot to add. them) Left is after he reunites with Jason (both times), and the Right is pre-reunion (both times).

More Royalty Au!
sketches + closeups + lore dump
I'm fleshing this out more - working on a fic for it as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The concept is an au where Vulcan is more of a Monarchy based Dynasty, and an incredibly powerful one at that. They are well known throughout the galaxy for being incredibly prosperous and having many allies- and are currently at war with just as many.
James Kirk & his partner Leonard McCoy are rouges from Earth- hired to infiltrate the Vulcan royal family palace for political advantage.
Spock, son of Emperor Sarek, is heir to the throne- and has his own secrets to hide.
gonna flesh it out a bit and start drafting a proper story- will probably do some sketches of Bones later too

With and without the dramatic shading. 
Lunar how are you slowly clawing your way into my brain? 
Anyway, I said he wouldn’t be in Star Holder but he keeps like... fitting into the plot so well. Ugh. Maybe he WILL be. I dunno. For now, here he is in all his mischievous glory. 
Lunar, the trickster god. Gifted at illusions, loves pulling little pranks. Has no allegiance in the brewing tensions between the gods. But does like to stir up trouble...

Claws & Fangs Ch 1 - The Intruder, The Bat And The Wolf
Summary: Kaeden heads home from a long day of work and finds someone has broken into her house looking for something, the intruder attacks her with a massive bat creature. She gets saved by a massive orange wolf.
Words count: 1.5k
Warnings: an animal attacks and tried to kill Kaeden, I don't think I went into too much detail but I went into it a bit so I'll put this as a warning 🛑, so blood and violence ant attack.
A/N: Werewolf witch Ahsoka and Vampire Kaeden lets gooo!
This idea came to me so quickly I'm pretty sure it possessed me to get itself written. Happy Halloween everyone!
Enjoy my new Kaesoka au fic! I've got like three or four of them now. It's not a problem.
Claws & Fangs AU Masterpost
________________________________________________________________________________
Kaeden Larte had horrible luck.
The worst luck in the entire world? Yeah probably.
First, her parents die when she's fifteen and her little sister is twelve.
Then, after getting a job she could actually hold down as a farmer, rumors start to circulate about her parents, specifically her mother, a scholar and a woman of medicine.
The rumors were that she was a witch or vile sorceress, cause her garden always looked so nice and was never attacked by animals. That was serious nonsense, she had taught Kaeden how to grow plants properly and she knew how to keep the wild life away.
Besides she was already dead so what did it matter?
Third, the witch rumor had the Empire come in and conduct a search of her house, they found nothing and left it. Didn't stop the leering or cruel taunts she got from the townspeople when she went into work. Five years later and she was still being called a witch spawn.
Fourth, her most recent stroke of bad luck, there was an owl hanging around her house poking at her plants.
The stupid little bird kept trying to take from her garden, the damn thing was extra interested in her healing herbs and oddly, her sister's garlic. Miara liked to cook in her free time, she worked at a bakery too.
She frequently found herself waking up in the middle of the night to the cursed being raiding her garden and she had to chase it off multiple times, it just kept coming back.
Oh, and then there was her worst luck ever:
Some crazy madman was breaking into her house, she heard the window shatter as she approached her home.
It was late at night and Miara was staying in town with her "friend" Omega, who had insisted it wouldn't be safe for her to go out at night alone. A clear ploy to get more time alone together before she had to go leave again, but Kaeden hadn't pushed her sister.
Kaeden always felt safer at home and had gone anyway.
She was really wishing she had stayed with Miara right now.
She could see the invader through the window, they were dressed in all black, and had a sword or gun or both at their waist.
They suddenly spun around and fixed glowing red eyes on her.
Her blood froze.
The intruder stalked towards her.
Her brain screamed at her to do something, but her body was fully frozen with fear.
A curious coo snared her attention away from the imposing threat.
The thieving owl was sitting on the fence, a clump of herbs in its talons. It cooed at her and took off.
Kaeden made the decision to chase after it right before the glass broke.
She bolted after the owl as fast as she could, though she had a growing feeling she wouldn't be able to escape her pursuer.
The stupid owl lead her into the forest, the dark forests that most people didn't dare go into because of stories about monsters that dwelled within. It was probably just wolves, or at least that's what Kaeden hoped as she blindly followed a bird.
Oh gods, she was going to die, wasn't she?
The owl took a sharp turn and just vanished into thin air. Her heart pounded against her chest and the blood roared in her ears as she frantically looked around for anything she might be able to defend herself with or some way out of this horrifying nightmare.
Something heavy landed in the trees, she heard the wood creak and groan with the weight.
She spun around.
The intruder turned attacker and probably her murderer if she was being honest.
The ominous eyes glowed dangerously.
Kaeden dared to look up.
That was a massive mistake.
A massive bat… thing was perched in the tree, hungry yellow eyes looking down at her.
Kaeden cursed her horrible luck.
Her pursuer whistled a single sharp note. 🛑
The beast snarled and threw itself from the treetops down onto her.
It slammed into her with enough force to slam her to the ground. The air was knocked out of her chest.
Pain bloomed all over her body, the bat's razor sharp claws slicing up her skin.
Clawed wings cut thin, deep lacerations on her arms when she raised them in a feeble attempt to protect herself. She somehow managed to push the bat up away from her throat.
It snarled madly, savagely slashing at anything within reach in its rabid attempt to kill her.
It snarled and hissed in her face, baring its sharp fangs at her.
She screamed and kicked its underbelly. Her feeble attempt to survive only served to piss it off.
It screeched and thrust its head down.
Its jaws slammed down on her neck. White hot pain exploded in her neck. She screamed at the needle sharp teeth piercing her skin.
Her blood got hot, it was burning in her veins, the fire spread rapidly from her neck to her toes.
She cried out, her entire body was boiling!
Just when she thought it was all over for her, that she'd die here in this forest and never be found, that her little sister would be alone, never knowing what really happened to her, a fearsome yowl erupted from somewhere in the chaos and in a blur of fur, the violent beast was ripped off of her.
Kaeden screamed, the beast's teeth tore her skin as it was thrown into a nearby tree.
She instinctively covered her neck wound to stem the bleeding, but that was hardly going to do her much good with her injuries or the fire in her veins. Gods, the fire in her veins made her want to die right there!
It was all she could do to apply weak pressure to her wound and stare up.
Oh.
The owl was back.
It was perched in a branch above her.
Something growled.
Something big.
Kaeden, to her own surprise, managed to prop herself up enough to see what had saved her.
A massive, truly massive wolf with burnt orange fur and stripes going down its back stood in front of her, growling at the bat, which now looked so small next to the wolf.
The bat was reasonably afraid of the impossibly huge wolf, it cowered at the wolf's presence.
The wolf growled, low and threatening, at the beast and keeper.
The beastmaster grunted and both vanished in a puff of black smoke.
The wolf relaxed slightly but stayed alert, ears swiveling to catch any sound of a follow-up attack.
Kaeden jolted away when someone touched her head.
A hooded figure was sitting behind her, they gently lifted her head to rest on their lap and checked her pulse. Their face was concealed by a mask.
Their fingers trailed along the fresh, raw wounds, she would have objected but the fire in her body made her numb to any pain their touch caused. Suddenly the carefully investigating fingers stilled then pressed in on a particularly painful wound, the sensation of white fire burned in her neck, she screamed bloody murder.
"Ahsoka!" The hooded figure shouted.
The wolf stalked over to her, it was so much bigger than she thought it had been when it was looking down at her. Through the corner of her eye, she saw the hooded figure point out something. The wolf's lip curled up with the hint of a snarl.
It leaned in close, she could feel its hot, wet breath on her neck. It sniffed whatever was so interesting to these strangers.
Idly, Kaeden wondered if this hooded stranger was the same thing as the one who attacked her, they both had animals doing their bidding.
"What do you feel?"
She barely registered the words in her dazed, quickly bleeding out state, the stranger pressed her wound lightly. Kaeden couldn't even hold back the very undignified cry that ripped itself from her throat.
" …fire…" she choked out.
She could taste blood in the back of her mouth as the stranger and their beast exchanged a look.
She let her eyes close, she was getting colder and more exhausted as the moments passed, somewhere in her hazy mind, she recognized it as a symptom of blood loss, that she was going to die soon. She'd lost too much blood.
Something warm and damp pressed against her nose. She blinked open her eyes.
The wolf was standing over her, nose to nose while brilliantly blue gray eyes stared deep into hers.
There was something so human in those glowing eyes, Kaeden felt safe with this massive, deadly beast.
It was probably her dying brain.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of you."
She assumed that meant they'd take her body back home, to let her sister know what had happened.
Kaeden hummed absently, the wolf's eyes were so bright and so blue, she couldn't look away even as death pulled at her.
All she saw when the darkness overtook her was that brilliant blue.
________________________________________________________________________________
This idea is really fun and I think it possessed me cause I already got a chapter 2 started… gays are my jam and so are bats and wolfs.
I've got art ideas folks!
It's spooky season so I give you gay spookies.
Happy Kaesoka week everyone!
I hope you all have a good day, whatever that is for you!
VJS Out!

abt that last reblog, thats something i love about starkeri, that starscream’s claws are literal weapons... he can pierce through armor w/ them and snuff someone’s beating spark,, he swipes them when he’s defensive and he lashes out, teeth bared and claws flexed when he’s bitter... he can bend his finger a certain way and fire a killing shot,,, they were made for killing and hurting and betraying!! they are weapons!! they are lethal!! he has killed with them and loved doing so!!! 
but he will always be so so so gentle w/ keri!! his servos could be raised and open toward her in a calming “it’s okay” gesture or his are palms facing up so she can step onto his hand and hold his thumb for support while he carries her,,, his claws are good for drawing blood, sure, but they are also good for combing thru hair, the smoother sides are perfect for back rubs, or tracing gently along someone’s jawline, and he wouldn’t have known any of that if he didn’t meet his little starflower!! he wouldn’t have ever known how gentle he can be!! and probably doesn’t even realize it!!
im just always a mess when i think abt his claws, killing machines, fatal weapons... being so soft and careful... ooghgh him?? trying to be as delicate as possible when putting together the red energon necklace?? chipping at the smallest piece and trying to make it look somewhat evenly cut?? shakily tying the black cord around it and thinking about her the entire time, wondering what her reaction is going to be when he hands it to her?? when her hands are so softly grasping onto his fingertip in the process? i’m a WRECK
