#every time he does anything he becomes more of a cryptid

[lets-try-some-writing]

I had to ask this bc your teacher Optimus AU has me by the throat.

How would Optimus handle students or faculty who are just plain assholes to the people around them? I can’t help but think that it would be less of a righteous fury (oh he’d definitely be angry, but not just angry) and more of a mournful pity. You are so young, so small and so few in your years, he might think. Why would you give them all to misery? Why do you choose to see only the darkness in peoples hearts when there is so much beauty left in your world?

I'm so glad you like this AU! It similarly has me in a chokehold demanding I write more XD Also love this whole thought of Optimus being so old that he can't even really be mad and just disappointed.

Previous part here.

Children, All of Them

As a general rule Optimus greatly enjoyed his job as a teacher. It was a welcome relief from the weight of war and the burden of his position as Prime. It brought back old memories of better times when he was just the Head Archivist working cycle in and cycle out to teach and to catalogue. Being able to share the joys of his passion and the history of his people was something he found no end of happiness participating in. It certainly helped that many of his students and co-workers were wonderful people either just trying to get by or working hard because of their love for learning or teaching.

However not every student and faculty member Optimus worked with was a ray of sunshine.

He was well aware of the fact that he would likely have less than pleasant individuals around him at times. As such he had long prepared himself to handle aggression in the way that such feelings normally presented themselves on Cybertron. He was fully prepared to endure unsettling EM fields, threatening messages, non-verbal insults, quiet battles of wit, subtle touches that were intended to be painful, and much much more. On Cybertron aggression among the more civil members of society was always a near silent affair and never made explicitly public. It was always a dangerous game played between the involved parties and no others, at least if one knew the rules of high society.

Optimus was ready, that is until he came to the rather saddening realization that these humans, these infants in his mind were far less reasonable in expressing their distaste.

Every student and co-worker of his had bad days, it was to be expected and he always did what he could to help them. If a fellow teacher was stressed with work, he would take some of it from them and help them get things in order. If cleaning staff were stuck with too much to do and feeling disheartened, Optimus would remain behind long after hours to assist and bring out some snacks for them to thank them for their efforts. Almost the entirety of his paycheck went straight back into gifts for his fellow teachers and his students. He just wanted them all to be as happy as possible as they worked. Teaching and study should be fun, not a struggle just to endure.

His efforts usually solved the problem fairly quickly, however there were a few individuals who just refused to be reasonable.

The vice principle was a piece of work and reminded Optimus far more of a youngling just getting a taste of power for the first time. The man was strict, demanding, and made it his life's mission to try and find a way to force Optimus to teach traditionally even if it was less effective. For whatever reason he despised the way Optimus taught and the level of sympathy he showed to his student. Optimus of course held a degree of understanding, but was also left confused as to why. What was so wrong about children enjoying his teaching that it would cause the vice principle to dislike him so much?

His efforts to reach out to the vice principle and try to smooth out any misunderstandings only ended with threats of being fired. Optimus was not unaccustomed to people abusing their power, and so he let the situation be and instead focused on his students. However as the vice principle kept on digging further and further, trying hard to find a reason to get Optimus fired, the time for remaining inactive ended.

Thus one day he stepped out with the vice principle and went with the man to his office to talk. The vice principle was so very smug when he sat down thinking that Optimus intended to concede and give up his way of teaching. However instead Optimus pulled out an old datapad he had resized and styled and pulled up images of earth in all its beauty. Many of the pictures were of children laughing and playing, learning, growing, and overall enjoying life. The vice principle didn't understand and was prepared to lash out when Optimus allowed a hint of his nature to shine through his holoform. EM fields could not be sensed by humans the same way they were by Cybertronians, but the waves carried emotion and tone well enough to be vaguely felt.

Optimus: Why do you struggle so bitterly against my teaching methods?

Vice Principle: Its against protocol and makes the students more unruly! They need discipline and control, not fun and games!

Optimus: Children are just that, children. They are unburdened by the woes that come from age. They are pure and see the world in such an innocent way. They will lose that gift as they age, yet you wish to strip it from them sooner?

Vice Principle: What are you on about?

Optimus: Children are a gift, a glorious one that must be protected and tended to with utmost care. While yes, children do need a firm guiding hand to ease them along the path of life, they deserve the chance to enjoy their freedom while they have it.

Vice Principle: This is school! Not a playground! It is not a place to goof around, it is a place of learning!

Optimus: Yes, it is a place of learning, thus it should be adjusted to suit the children should it not? It is the greatest honor and burden one can bear to have the chance to mold the minds of the youth. They are our future, and having them live without joy will only induce a cycle of depression that will continue onward with them.

Vice Principle: I'm your superior! Just do your job and stop making a mess of things!

Optimus: Why is it that you dislike seeing the children joyful? Are you fearful that you will no longer be respected if they are not treated like young soldiers? Respect is something that is earned and gained through trial and action, not mere titles.

Vice Principle: This is slander!

Optimus: Is it? Your lives are so very short. Your world is beautiful and unmarred by the ravages of a war greater than you could ever understand. Appreciate the little joys in this life young one. It will not last, and neither will you.

Vice Principle: GET OUT!

Optimus got nowhere with the vice principle and he couldn't even bring himself to be truly angry at the man. He was youthful, drunk on power, and desperate to have as much control as possible. He was a product of the broken system of education he tried so hard to enforce. He was just like the delusional mecha that lorded over Cybertron, thinking themselves greater than all others purely because of their titles.

It was disappointing, but there was little Optimus could do if even his presence as a Prime did nothing to sway the man. More than anything else, he felt pity for the man. He was just a sad human who had not the years to know his actions nor the wisdom to be able to observe and see as Optimus did. A broken child lost in a broken system that he had never escaped from.

How very disheartening.

Of course the issues were not just with the vice principle. There was one other human who simply could not be consoled or convinced to behave, that being the boy who called himself Vince. He was a cocky, overclocked, and overconfident young man who had no issues flaunting his possessions and skillset even when it was the wrong time. He was exactly like the nobles back on Cybertron, and that brought a sickening sense to Optimus's mind at the thought of the boy turning out just like the cruel nobles that doomed his homeworld. He did not want to watch this infant race doom themselves through the same methods his people had.

They were still so young, so innocent, and lived lives far too short to be wasted on such foolish things. It hurt his spark and made him angry in a more disappointed way than anything else when he watched Vince harass his classmates and flaunt despite performing poorly outside of his motor skills. He was not fond of the child's seeming obsession with going after Jack who was one of most successful students. There was no reason for the behavior other than the fact that Jack showed an interest in getting a vehicle while Vince already had one. There also appeared to be an underlying conflict over courtship for a young female, but to Optimus it was ridiculous. The children were far too young for that. The behavior needed to be cut at the bud before it could grow into something like the vice principle.

Thus he took the boy aside after school one day and sat him down. Vince of course offered no respect whatsoever and only served to make Optimus sigh. So young, so foolish, and so very arrogant. The boy needed a wakeup call before things got worse for him later down the road.

Optimus: Vince, do you know why I pulled you aside?

Vince: No, but its probably for something stupid.

Optimus: You've been treating everyone around you poorly. Don't think I haven't noticed.

Vince: So what? They're all losers anyway!

Optimus: That is not a good way to view your peers child. They are all gifted in their own ways, just as you are.

Vince: Of course I'm gifted! I'm one of the best racers in Jasper! Those nobodies can't stand a chance against me!

Optimus: You put so much pride into you ability to race. Why is that? Do you fear being unable to succeed elsewhere? Or is it perhaps a false sense of entitlement?

Vince: What do you know old timer? You look like you walked off a movie set from world war 2! I bet you can't even drive more than twenty miles per hour without putting your hazard lights on!

Optimus: You are so very arrogant. Do you not realize just how harmful this mindset is?

Vince: Whatever old man!

Optimus: ...

Optimus: If that is how you wish to behave, then I will not stand for it. If you want respect, you must earn it. Get your car, I will prove to you that your pride is misplaced.

Vince: What? Are you serious?

Optimus: I am completely serious. Meet me out at the tracks and I will make my point.

Vince was shocked, but Optimus paid it no mind. Vince was a child that would only learn through force, and Optimus was not afraid to use it. Thus he absorbed his holoform and moved his real frame out. The team were bewildered to the point of Bumblebee tagging along just to see what was going on and report back. Not a spark expected half the school to be out at the tracks with Vince waiting with his sports car.

Optimus had his holoform step out and Vince gave him a look that screamed of confidence. He was so very sure he could beat Optimus with his vehicle, but Optimus merely shook his held and got into his vehicle as a student readied an airhorn to signal the start of the race. Bumblebee watched from his own holoform in confusion but also a bit of awe as Optimus obliterated Vince without even trying. The boy was left defeated and bitter to the point of marching off before Optimus could get a word in.

The legend of Mr. Pax grew and he was given a fine for misconduct, but beyond that Vince continued to be rude to all his classmates. However surprisingly he left Optimus alone and stopped what he was doing whenever Optimus came near. It wasn't much, and honestly it didn't fix much, but it was improvement to a degree.

The humans were so young, yet so bitter. They were so hopeful, yet so prideful. They were the embodiment of younglings just getting their pedes under themselves.

Children, all of them.

[the-s1lly-corner]

Telling them you love them for the first time

Some tooth rotting fluff to make up for the angst last night!!

Shorter hcs cuz I'm EEPY, apologies for any OOC stuff <\3

Slenderman;

Hes good at reading you, so he already knew that you held at least some considerable amount of affection for him

And sometimes, inside your head, he'd tell you how much he adored you... but either of you ever said the L word

You'd think that an ancient forest cryptid would be prepared for such a word, and yet..

when you first said it, he visibly froze. For the first time since you've met him, he seemed to be.... lost

He didnt say anything, but that wasnt out of character. . He hardly spoke, even in your head

After a moment of processing, his body eased, and he simply. Pulled you close, with his tentacles. Still not saying a word

It was a rather bizarre experience, actually, especially considering he began to cacoon you in his tendrils

Definitely one that needs to get used to it, but doesnt seem to take it negatively

Please hes still learning human romance

Splendorman;

Unlike his brother, Splendor has a better grasp of what human romance is like, what with him mingling with people all the time

Hes much more vocal, too, so when you finally say the three words..

He squeals after processing what you said, before giggling, and beginning to bounce on his heels

He doesnt care if hes being... embarrassing? Hyper? Giddy?

Hes over the moon, scoops you up if he knows you'd be comfortable with it-

-boundaries are important!

Hes giddy for the rest of the day

No

Hes giddy for the rest of the week

Also admits he loves you as well, probably says it everyday at least once tbh

Laughing Jack;

Comically stops in the middle of whatever he was doing; even if he has to break the laws of physics (clown logic)

Eyes you for a minutes

Snorts

"Aww! I love ya too toots!" Stretches his arm over, likely across the room, to lightly pap your cheek before snapping his arm back into place

Easily one of the most chill about it

But you can see a new pep in his step afterwards and his giggling seems to ramp up

Sorry his is so short but I really think this is all Jack would react with 😭😭

Eyeless Jack;

Given how I usually write for him, you can bet that his reaction will be...

Well he just doesnt expect it, ever. He truly thinks that hes unlovable, given that whole "hey I'm turning into a man eating monster" thing

So when you say it, hes stunned for a few seconds like slender was. Dead quiet for another couple of seconds

Rather than holding you, though, he just asks why

I mean you could have gone out with anyone, you could have left and never came back; he was certain you would eventually

But this..

Complicates with his current doubts..

He'll ask you if you meant it, too

Despite the... initial response, with the denial, his behavior around you seems to become more relaxed

Let's loose, really

Well not totally; it's a process!

He'll ask you for reassurance a fair number of times

Masky;

Masky already shows wordless affections a lot

From cheesy gifts like flowers and (stolen) treats

To..

Sitting at the foot of your bed watching you sleep at night

Hey hes protecting you!

Realizing that I kinda write him like a stray cat

Gives you birds and rats every morning/j

No but back on track, you two are already fairly affectionate to one another in your own quirky ways

He'll never say the words verbally, as I personally hc he doesn't talk (if he does, its RARE), but he'll sure as hell express it in his own ways

He doesn't seem phased when you say it

You mean to tell him that anytime you reciprocated his kind gestures that wasnt you letting him know you love him?

You notice his gift giving seems to pick up

Otherwise, nothing seems to change

.....he does seem more open to physical affection.... more likely to hold and cuddle you..... that totally isnt related...... totally......

Hoodie;

Very similar to masky but his way of affection is more.... not watching you sleep

He was already open to physical affection, he cant seem to keep his hands off you

Now that just be my way of writing brian bleeding into how I write hoodie

Which

Considering they're kinda... the same person(?), it makes sense that some mannerisms would overlap

His back straightens up and he seems to.. brighten up when you say it though

He points to himself, and you repeat the phrase

He'll sign it back, and the two of you just

Carry on

Very anticlimactic, but I also feel its realistic in a way; you both already love each other and know it, saying it out loud doesnt really change a thing if its already a clear truth; at least for Hoodie

[wolfsrainrules]

Stares off into the distance:

So.

Apparently my brain is just going to run along with various crossovers. Today, I bring you the thought of a John Wick fusion au (actually five differnet ones) with Batman/DC. (Again: a reminder that all my DC/Batman knowledge is fandom based)

@north-peach hellllppppp

Couple of thoughts for this.

The First: Janet Drake is one of the underworld's best. She's fantastic at manipulation and killing. She could walk herself out of a situation covered in blood, and convince people who saw it all happen that she never touched the body.

Tim grows up at her knee. He learns for the very best. And Janet teaches him everything she can- because despite the job and the crazy hours, and the travel, she loves her son. She wants to give him every opportunity to make it out alive from anything. Unharmed and not in trouble if possible, but alive most of all.

John Wick is a ghost story to the underworld. Tim has always been curious about people who could cause such a stir as his mother or John Wick might. When he meets him, he decides that man is Friend Shaped despite every sign saying Do Not. Despite every horror story saying it's a bad plan. (Much as he will later look at a story in a city of a cryptid said to be a manifestation of a city, a demon, a physical representation of all those who have died unavenged and decide the same)

More than that- John has ZERO idea how to handle Tim. He's a k i d. John's not gonna kill him for just...showing up all the time. It's not like he interferes or causes problems. In fact, he helps sometimes. Provides info, or a direction, a place to crash-

Tim confuses John.

Tim is also the very first to congratulate him, when he manages to get out of the underworld for Helen and mean it. To not even question the 'impossibility' of the Baba Yaga deciding he was done. John didn't bother to ask how Tim knew he'd left and why before the news actually broke out.

Tim watching John get out, go for it and SUCCEED is what gives him the courage to confess to his mother that he wanted to spend some time outside of the underworld, watching the curious case of Batman and Gotham. And Janet loves her son. So she arranges for it to be so.

They both know who Bruce Wayne is. Janet had figured it out before even Tim. She makes him promise that, if he needs her, he will call her, and lets him hunker in Gotham while he does what he wishes. She makes some trips back to Gotham, of course, but not so many that enemies can figure out there's someone important to her there. Janet is THE Femme Fatale. She has plenty of people who would go after her boy. And she's not having that.

Tim doesn't actually PLAN to get involved in vigilante life. At all. He's underworld born and bred. He's a survivor, manipulative, and can be a level of cunning and cold and ambitious that always makes his mother so so proud. He's not a do-right kind of person. He's not someone who does things for people outside of "me and mine" without a reason. Or if it goes against his moral code.

Except Jason Todd becomes one of "Me and Mine". He's a friend. A nosy vigilante who sees that his friend is alone and sets off his instincts as dangerous yes, but also as 'not a civilian' in a conventional sense. He's not a street rat, but he's not...normal either. And Tim? Tim, once he decides this Robin is his Robin, well he can't very well leave him undefended doing this ALONE can he? Though he understands by working with Robin, he cant use the tried and true methods of murder, as it could get pinned to Robin or Batman and he can't have that. If he wants to fly with Jason, he needs to fly by his rules. So a new vigilante is born that runs the streets with Robin. A little more vicious but in a cold and precise manner. Exacting. He doesn't let Jason go after his mother without doing the information gathering, and stops his death by Joker.

For a time, Tim finds himself pulled into the Wayne family, and he...thrives with them. He's happy. He learns under them. Expands his skillset, and still sent out to learn from people around the world. He is NOT fool enough to turn that away- his mother would somehow KNOW wherever she was if he turned down that kind of opportunity and he did not want to imagine the disappointment and response. NO THANK YOU.

When the underworld is kicked like a hornets' nest by John Wick coming back into the fold, Tim is...curious. He's kept an eye on John and Helen, if not stayed in direct and constant contact with them. He hadn't expected John to step foot back into the underworld.

And then his mother sends word to him, calls him back to the Continental, warns that the underworld is getting REALLY kicked up as a result. Tim...needs to go. He cannot imagine NOT answering his mother.

He arranges things on the Gotham end. Says temporary goodbyes and gets to the NY branch asap. Beats his mother there.

Makes it just in time to see John Wick pull a gun on Continental Grounds and shoot a newly crowned seat at the Table and is caught up in the chaos.

His family are going to end UP in the chaos themselves, because they will not cannot leave Tim in it alone. The connections Tim has are MUCH a surprise, he's done very well in hiding exactly what he used to do, and WHY he has a contact and hand in everything, and can ALWAYS get his family what they need. The Second: Tim Drake still grows up at Janet's knee. He learns it all. Thrives in it all. He ends up NOT going down the road of hitman or assassin or any number of things he could have done. Instead Tim Drake chooses to be a Information Broker that claims Gotham eventually, and by means of getting taken in by Bruce, the Wayne Manor and grounds around it become neutral grounds much like the Continental, if you want Tim's services to remain open to you. If you pull the underworld onto the ground...well. Just because Tim goes by Bruce's rules, and just because he PREFERS the route of nonviolence does not in any way mean he would not kill to protect it. To prove a point. To make a statement. To allow one to get away with it is to allow danger to his family and he WILL NOT, no matter that they all are perfectly capable of defending themselves. The Underworld is entirely different than their villains. To not kill the offender is to open themselves to weakness and targets. So Tim WILL.

Gotham is not Wayne Manor. The City is fair game to the underworld. Wayne Manor is NOT.

The Third:

Janet raises her boy at her knee still. Tim chooses the route of Doctor instead. He sets up in Gotham, and decides he likes the foolish vigilantes enough to step in when it's needed and save their lives. He becomes known to the Batfam as a Doc that will not ask questions, but is absolutely one of the most capable people they've seen. If Leslie isn't available, or not close enough, they go to Tim, if Tim doesn't find them, because he certainly seems to know when they need it.

The Batfam does sometimes find him having dealt with Some Things underworld involved so they are WORRIED about their idiot, despite the fact that Tim can and will Wreck everyone that causes problems in his area. He has also shown up stripping off blood covered scrub tops or whatever cause hes coming in hot from another healing thing, and they all wonder and worry and just- it's fine. Everything is fine.

They worry anyway.

Despite the fact that Tim has friends seemingly everywhere, from all walks of life, favors all over, and connections to seemingly everything as a result of his work. (He has absolutely been offered favors as payment, hits, assassinations and all sorts of things. He never turns them away. Janet taught him better. Instead he has markers and logs, books and written promises all stacked away. He remembers them all of course, but better to have written proof somewhere, something official. The Continental holds it for him.

The Fourth:

Gotham HAS a Continental Hotel due to all of its.....everything. Janet Drake runs it. Tim knows EVERYONE and everything, and has absolutely run the counter often. Bruce doesn't know what it is. Ra's absolutely does. Tim is the next to take over the branch and EVERYONE knows it.

He ends up occasionally, when people step on his morals, providing information to the Bat.

Jason managed to find his way inside by accident, and may or may not get himself heavily involved in the underworld even BEFORE the Red Hood thing.

The Fifth:

Same concept as 4 except BRUCE WAYNE runs the Continental and the ripples of everything therein.

[sapphicseasapphire]

is wind ever exposed to some of the propaganda against his kind in legend's time? does it make him self conscious?

also did the mer aquil war happen at all in the 3rd timeline?

Hello! These are excellent questions, thank you!

Under the cut because long.

Wind… is a bit of a complicated case, I think! He grew up in the middle of a war, but was sheltered from any kind of violence or aggression- he lived amongst people (Mer and Aquili alike) who wanted peace, on a little island full of refugees. He doesn’t even realize that he’s CURRENTLY living with propaganda. He’s CURRENTLY hiding, and has been ever since he was a baby.

The Aquili on Outset are called Sea Monsters. They always have been- Wind didn’t even know that his people were called Aquili until he met Legend. But the term was never used out of malice- it was just that no one knew any better. It was a piece of Mer propaganda that stuck, and at least on their little island of peacekeepers, the Aquili never knew anything else.

(I must say that they were never treated poorly by the Mer- or by anyone else, for that matter. Calling themselves Sea Monsters had nothing to do with their value as citizens of Outset and they were not looked down upon at all. “Sea Monster” was an accepted term… but then again, they don’t knew their origins. If they did, they’d probably be upset to be called monsters).

Wind knows not to go too deep into the ocean- not to swim out too far. Even if he doesn’t realize it, he lives in fear of the Mer- of his own people- that still reside beneath the waves. Everyone on Outset maintains a “Hylian” form to blend in when travelers visit their island- no one knows that they aren’t “normal” people. He’s hiding every single day of his life. And he doesn’t even realize it.

I say all of this because I want to make it clear that Wind DOES face the consequences of this war. He’s been dealing with it under the table for his entire life, but that doesn’t make him equipped to handle it when he comes face to face with Legend- who hates him for what he is, for what his people had done to him in an entirely different timeline. Or, in the War of Eras, Ravio- who fears him for the monster he has not become.

Wind has lived his whole life in acceptance of who he is. He’s comfortable in his own skin no matter what form he takes, “Hylian” or Aquili. He switches between the two all the time, he thinks it’s fun. And he likes getting a reaction out of others.

That… changed. When he met Legend. As his adventure with the Cryptid Chain continues and he learns more about the conflict (from Legend’s perspective), he becomes less and less comfortable in his Aquili form. As Legend gives him the cold shoulder and avoids him, Wind starts to get more and more self conscious, until he appears as “Hylian” literally every minute of every day. Legend… has some things to work on, let’s just say.

Since the Cryptid Chain will never go underwater, they are unlikely to come across any Mer outside of Outset. The Zora in Legend’s era might cause some problems for Wind, but other than that, the only prejudice he’d face is from Legend (and Ravio, maybe, but Ravio isn’t nearly as bitter).

Now, I don’t think it’s entirely fair to call Legend a bad person for this. He’s been through a lot, and he’s suffered at the hands of the Aquili scavengers in his own era. But is it right for him to take that out on Wind? Absolutely not. And this tension between them doesn’t last long- it’s really really hard to hate Wind. Also… Legend’s pretty bitter towards literally everyone. So really, it’s more of a Legend issue than a Wind issue.

And LASTLY, yes, the war happens in all of the timelines! It’s just that unless there are Mer and Aquili from the Child Era (there aren’t any in my story), you’re not gonna be hearing about it! The Zora stay OUT of it, and they defend their waters from Mer and Aquili both, wanting the conflict as far from their Domain as possible.

I hope this answered your question? I know I rambled way too long haha.

[resident-idiot-simp]

Sorry it took so long to respond I was out all day and normally I would be asleep by now but due to a family emergency involving a sibling (they will be fine) I am ✨AWAKE✨. Please forgive the inevitable crimes against grammar I’m about to commit I am severely sleep deprived :D

Okay so the reason wendigos aren’t able to hybridise is because humans turn into them through specific methods ie eating human flesh. they are human turned creatures. Same rules apply for vampires, werewolves, Zombies, Ghosts and any other similar type of monster, they are around but they aren’t hybrids. There are also no Moth Man, Bigfoot or Loch Ness Hybrids.

Magic left the world a LONG time ago and no one (Human) remembers why. This caused a mass extinction event with most creatures that were solely magical being wiped out. The ones that survived either became Cryptids and barely functioned with the scraps of magic left behind or they became mundane…

The reason the fae left in the first place is because a bunch of humans tried to take magic from the Fae and actually succeeded for like five seconds before a bunch of them died from the sheer amount of power. This BIG NO NO altered the nature of magic into something humans could actually use unfortunately it also hurt the Fae badly so they had to poq for a while to recover. They took the magic with them but not before cursing the surviving thieves and their descendants to never be able to experience magic again (this led to some unintended consequences).

The reason there are no Fae hybrids is a little more sinister (angst potential incoming). Every now and then a little bit of magic would leak back into the world and keep things running just enough so that when the Fae returned it wasn’t a complete shit show (just mostly one) and after some initial conflict and a bunch of new border agreements things settled down (British hybrids can pick which royal house they follow (fae or human) whilst still maintaining citizenship (guess which Soap picked lol)) and with magic being reintroduced (in the 1800’s btw) the world slowly started to change. Within a generation hybrids began appearing, within another three Mythics started showing up too. With each successive generation the hybrids got stronger and as the magic around the world continued to grow more and more animals began looking weird. Rabbits with antlers, Giant Sea Snakes and Octopi, Lions with golden coats. But no dragons or phenox or unicorns or purely magical beings appeared instead what they had where hybrids that become a little less human every generation.

TLDR the OG mythical creatures went extinct and magic is trying its best to bring them back the normal hybrids just didn’t have enough juice in them to meet the requirements. Anything that didn’t go (fully) extinct like the Fae or are human turned creature won’t hybridise.

Technically Ghost hybridisation shouldn’t have worked but because he “died” such a specific and traumatising way near a canine mythic who’s magic he absorbed over months the magic got a lil confused (Ghost is the only Black dog hybrid the as the rest are actual dogs and not extinct ( does that mean Ghost is the strongest Black dog? Maybe…(yes it does))).

If you want angst you could say that if a hybrid uses to much of their magic they run the risk of becoming more creature then man. I don’t think they’d loose their intelligence and they’d still be the same “person” but they definitely wouldn’t be human.

Since magic returned vampires can walk in the sun, wendigos became intelligent (took one look at the military and went ✨no✨) werewolves become more aware (lol) and don’t need the moon to shift and Ghosts are still classed as citizens.

Ooh What if magic is radiation from the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs????

You're fine I hope everyone's okay and I'd be a hypocrite because I too do not understand the English language.

Ok that makes sense yeah.

FAE LORE FAE LORE!!! I LOVE IT! I love that the lore and angst of humans trying to take something not made for them is very fitting. There is a ton of potential for angst and I love that Soap is like nahhh fae all the way. (He is correct)

I Love that explanation of mythics It seems very fitting for the universe. The world needs them in some way shape or form so it corrects itself.

Great explanation for Ghost and the fact that singles him out making him the most powerful is perfect. I mean look at that man.

AAAHHHH ANGST!!!! I LOVE THAT! It limits them and makes them of not super op. It also explains how some of the actual mythical creatures can survive in the human world now. (Wendigos my beloved)

OMG DINOSAUR LORE?! YES! (what if kidding kinda If all the dinosaurs didn't die) Hahaha unless

okee good morning...answering this for real now lmao

Required reading for context first!:

Raf and Magritte, before meeting Cortes, had become pretty iron clad as a pair. As skittish/paranoid as Raf can be, Magritte had proven time and time again that she adores Raf for being Raf, and not what he can be used for nor what she imagines he should be. He’s no longer waiting for that other shoe to drop with her, like he’s usually waiting on with literally anyone else. Magritte’s love, so far as he can tell--and deliberately elects to believe in--is completely unconditional. Raf has only ever had three...four people he trusts to see him as himself and do well by him: his grandmother, his uncle, Magritte, and Cortes.

Magritte, of course, genuinely does adore Raf, thinks he’s very sweet--thinks he’s got a -lot- of baggage and needs some proper patience and a gentle kind of love. But he’s very patient with her, doesn’t yell at her for forgetting things or forgetting to -do- things, and just seems to genuinely love having her around, and doesn’t get annoyed when she’s excited about stuff and it’s just...so refreshing.

Needless to say, Raf and Magritte are ride or die for each other. Raf is extremely protective of Magritte’s infectious enthusiasm, optimism, and her overall penchant to see the best in every situation and every person. Magritte just wants to see Raf have an easier time of things and find joy in the stuff that is joyful again.

Raf and Magritte met Cortes...strangely: https://www.tumblr.com/painted-bees/715850323888160768/the-water-between-the-discovery-islands-off-the

Cortes is their...adopted cryptid gf, they kinda have this inherent understanding that Cortes is more a force of nature than anything else. She comes and goes as she pleases, is wholly aloof to the world around her outside of Raf and Magritte (whom are the clear objects of her affection during her little ‘human-kind’ cosplay adventure). Sometimes Cortes is gone for a month or so at a time, with no indication of where she went or what she’s doing. But Magritte and Raf both inherently kinda...know...she’ll be back and she’s fine. 

Raf and Cortes have a very quiet, chill kind of relationship--very low energy in the comforting way. The relationship version of “lowfi beats to study to” lmao. 

Magritte and Cortes have a very playful, mischievous relationship and Cortes encourages Magritte’s childish impulses--both good and peevish lmao they are a chaotic duo...but they somehow always get away with what ever trouble they end up finding themselves in together. 

Neither Magritte nor Raf (nor anyone, really) find anything unsettlingly strange or off putting about Cortes--she’s not even all that weird, really. Just a unique kind of charisma. 

#Cortes #as an aside: #as paranoid as Raf is about people's motivations he's never one to speak poorly about other people #UNLESS that person has victimized other people. Then it's not just his own bad vibes anymore it's real. #and a real problem. #But Raf was raised to not make a fuss or cause problems when his own autonomy etc is being infringed upon #BUT he does not like to let it happen to other people #and has a negative integer patience for abusive behaviors when he clocks extrinsic instences of it between other people. #Meanwhile Magritte is just happy to be in a relationship where she's not constantly tense about forgetting things #she hates being yelled at #hates hates hates it it makes her cry #but Raf has never yelled at her--she didn't think it was possible for anyone to have that kinda patience with her lmao #cus she's always forgetting things and forgetting to do things and people always take it as a sign that she doesn't care #but she does #a lot. #Hi-Note #magritte #rafael

Eldritch Harry who is slowly growing into it is so much fun. Also just like… the difference between the types of werewolves and Mac just going: this is like the weird ass version around Teddy but she tries to be as polite as she can.

(she may have stalked their property during the full moon to many times as a little boy is now running along side her sometimes)

No one asking what Harry is but everyone knows something and he's just like alright cool. Chills at the alley. Grace, no magic, goes along with it. Alright then. Turns out everyone she liked in town is magic. Awesome.

Mac looking at little Teddy on the full moon: What a weird dog

She does adore Teddy though and it’s… nice to hear a little howl, high and sweet and so young, on the full moon. It’s comforting to think that maybe just maybe her little pack friend group can include a pup again. And for all his paranoia and the firm set in his shoulders that screams soldier according to Razi (or PTSD according to Diego) Harry doesn’t seem to mind when her patrol brings her to their home right in time for Teddy to run alongside her on the opposite side of the fence. If anything those green eyes that glow more often than not are understanding.

None of them ask Harry what he is. It’s a known thing among supernaturals, particularly of the immortal variety, that becoming what they are isn’t always a kind process. Many people on the scene just… don’t talk about it. The weight of the past hands too heavily on them and to look back could crush them entirely. Hell even in their group not all of them look back. Not all of them can.

And with the way Harry looks for every exit with a wary glow in his eyes and the branching glowing scars like lightning taking up half of his face and disappearing down the collar of the ridiculous bowling alley uniform that only they seem to see it’s not hard for them to pinpoint Harry as someone who doesn’t want to talk about it. So they don’t ask even as they tease him for breaking a new phone every other week and never knowing any of the music played over the speakers (JD’s or not) just as easily as they tease him for calling fries chips or adding u’s to words that clearly don’t need them. He is one of them, even if they don’t know what he is. (JD does however complain and whine when they realize that they are now in charge of the arcade but the threat of Harry accidentally crying the machines is enough to keep it mostly playful)

Grace of course is a bit confused but warms up to all of them incredibly quickly. One minute she was an orphan for the third time and the next magic is real and Harry who looks her age at most but already has a kid that he has raised for years is promising to take care of her and everyone cool in town is secretly cryptids. (It aches to know how much her sister would have loved this. Would have loved Harry and Teddy and their friends able to be open and honest with them. But what else can she do but enjoy it for her sister’s sake? It won’t bring her back but somewhere Grace likes to think that she is watching over all of them happy and smiling.)

I read about gator Joot and immediately thought about the dinosaur - eating gators and Crocs.

Like Jotaro is still a teenager in part 3, so with him having gator and shark in his werebeast form - he would get bigger. The biggest gator was Deinosuchus - around 10 meters (34ft), while the biggest croc was Sarcosuchus - around 40ft long. The biggest shark was Megalodon at around 15 to 18 meters in length. The biggest wolf was the dire wolf and the largest wolf alive is the Mackenzie Valley Wolf.

Also in-between part 3 and part 4, he was studying Marine Biology! THE OCEAN IS THE PREFECT PLACE FOR LARGE ANIMALS!! Jotaro's beast would continue to grow bigger in a very large water environment.

In part 3, he would probably be pulling all the movie - animal attack references just to scare a few enemies. Kakyoin's idea, Polnareff joins in later, Joseph is 50/50 with is idea, and Avdol is trying to handle whatever control is left.

In part 4, he does the same thing - but bigger, maybe. Kira might lose a hand or two for touching his kids. Kira does not get his hand back, at all.

Part 5... A local Florida man claims to have seen a gigantic gator swimming with a group of dolphins, more information coming soon on channel five.

Part 6... At this point, Jotaro may have made friends with every croc, gator, or whatever sea animal in Florida. Like in the ocean community he is well loved, not one animal will talk bad about the Doctor; just happy thoughts all around. Jolyne gets a cool reptile friend in prison, due to dad.

Almost forgot to add this... Iggy has weird feelings about him (wolf part), but then they are somewhat buddies due to Joot giving him big pieces of meat/food. No one knows where Joot gets the meat from, but no one wants to ask either.

Y E S

I'm a huge sucker for the thought of "reptiles just keep growing the older they get and they won't stop" and Jotaro absolutely deserves to be a Big Ol Gator As A Treat <3

I'm cackling over the movie attacks and you're 100% correct. Once Kakyoin and Polnareff learn Jotaro isn't completely comfortable with his other half they set out to change that, and what better way to do it than make it fun :3 Jotaro ends up actually having fun too (as much as he denies it) and just. Gets more comfortable with the idea that 1) he's not inherently scary and 2) sometimes being scary wasn't a bad thing

Joseph absolutely enables the kids tho and Avdol is slowly counting to 10 in his head while coming up with an argument for why no Jotaro terrifying tourists in the river is not a good idea I don't care how funny it may be you could get hurt-

I also really love the idea of him and Iggy being Sorta Friends. Iggy frequently hitches rides on Jotaro's back whenever he changes and Jotaro's surprisingly Chill with it

and honestly, I wouldn't put it above Jotaro to just fucking bite Kira, especially if we go with the idea that if they get too injured or afraid they'll instinctively start changing. Maybe with SHA's first attack it was too fast and knocked him out too quick for him to fully change, so just as Koichi is dragging Jotaro's body he's slowly beginning to change. By the time he wakes up he's like..... 3/4 of the way shifted and instead of using Star he just fucking latches onto the guy with his bare teeth and uses Star to restrain Killer Queen

and Jotaro gets to become a Floridian Cryptid. As a treat <333

and this also gave me a THOUGHT for Part 6. What if while Jotaro still gets his disk stolen....... what if it doesn't quite have the same affect

what if instead of rending him comatose, it leaves him as a complete beast. There is no humanity nor any way for him to change back, he's just an unintelligent animal who's injured and afraid. He flees into the waters before Jolyne can do anything

weeks later, rumours start floating around from the guards about a Giant Really Fucking Weird Crocodile/Alligator Thing that's been spotted near the prison a couple times, and Jolyne immediately realises who it is. So when the prisoners are asked to search the marshes, she all but jumps at the chance to find him

maybe she ends up using Foo's help to keep an eye on him. They leave some of their plankton with the gator to keep watch and make sure Jotaro doesn't get into any trouble or wander off too far, and every once in a while Jolyne will send out one of Stone Free's strings to just...... feel for herself that he's still there. She'll talk to him through the string too, because even though she knows he can't understand her, it makes the whole situation feel a little less awful

getting Star's disk to him is LOADS easier too and has way less risk to it. They pretty much just get Weather to use to his Stand and fly the disk over to him, and while that does bring up different obstacles they have to face, it's much much easier then what they go through in canon

Hello! I adore your writing! May I please have a match up for Hazbin Hotel, Chainsaw man and Sally face if it’s not too much trouble? I'm demisexual 27 year old plus sized woman. I’m 5"7 with fairly wide hips that dip to more narrow center and broad shoulders. My eyes are pale green bordering yellow with short almost shoulder length dark brown hair that is an orange blond from the top of my ears down. I have a septum piercing, two sets of ear piercings and glasses in sort of an aviator style that I forget to wear. I'm a little buff under all this fluff as I am a baker by trade. But I have been dealing with a shoulder injury has kinda left me feeling a bit fragile and frustrated. I've been told I'm fairly pretty but I just kinda don't see myself that by conventional standards. I'm not really self conscious about my body, I am just a large animal and people will just have to deal with that. I prefer to dress comfortably but if I can I enjoy wearing jumpsuits as well as black dresses.

I would describe my personality as caring but very direct. I Tend to prioritize others well being over my own. However, I am working on ensuring I take care of myself just as well. I tend to be reserved around other people but once I get comfortable I tend to ramble on my interests in short bursts, primarily around biology, cryptids, animation and practical effects. Honestly I enjoy being a bit aggressive with my friends- usually intimidation play or picking up people to help make them feel a little small. Admittedly when I feel comfortable around someone I prefer feeling small and protected if I’m not needed for comfort. I have many creative hobbies, primarily sketching, painting, sculpting, and crocheting. One of my favorite things to do is wildlife drawings. Though I find it difficult to hold on to my passions for prolonged periods of time, if someone I'm close to is passionate about something- I'm completely enthralled and try to be as supportive as possible. I love word play, often trying to force puns where they don't fit. I love horror and thriller movies and have a decent tolerance for gore but to be perfectly honest I have a hard time with handling prolonged scenes with people actively suffering.

This sounds a little silly but I imagine if I was a demon in hell I would probably resemble something of a chimera. I do apologize if this is a bit of a long submission! Thank you so much for your time!! 💚

I read sally face and started tweaking….

God i love sally face. AND THANK YOUUUUU.

.. I’ve decided to pair you with… ALASTOR, DENJI & LARRY JOHNSON!

Let’s be real. I think at first you’d remind him of his dear old mimzy. Before she died anyways, and obviously not dependent on him to fight your battles.

Alastor would find your rambling interesting, and he’d honestly probably learn something he hasn’t before? like “wow! Thats new.”

He’d want to learn more about your interests, also because he’s the radio demon, and doesn’t seem to really know much about the modern world- or care for it. But he IS based off a wendigo. So i’d think he’d find it interesting!

He LOVES when you paint, draw, crochet for hum! It reminds him or his own mother, and he’d probably become attached to you.

He’d also enjoy it if you did all of this, while he’s broadcasting too. He’s not able to always be there, but if he is, he’ll want to be with you.

Alastor would LOVE to watch horror movies, but if it makes you uncomfortable, or a scene does, he will pay no mind and skip it. Not like theres anything new he hasn’t seen.

If you were a chimera. He definitely would’ve been surprised at your look! Like- “oh ! Thats new.”

Ok … Denji time..

This man would NEVER JUDGE YOU. He can’t even bag someone.

Honestly i think he’d prefer someone chubbier, he’d LOVE to give hugs.

I think Denji would be a very physical touchy person, esp after what happened with… everyone. It’d help him protect you :)

When he found out about your shoulder injury? He was on your ass all day, every day. You don’t get away!

He loves that you take care of others, but this man is always hurt. He’d rather you be okay than he is!

He would love to listen to you ramble. Denji knows when to shut up, and i think he would enjoy listening!

Okay i know I’ve said this before but denji WILL make you draw pictures of you and him together- or he’ll draw them himself. Like stick figures holding hands!

If you crochet him something? Over the MOON. If its a piece of clothing he’s always wearing it. If its a plushie? He’s sleeping with it at night.

Denji would be indifferent to horror movies. I think he’d prefer comedy. He’s seen enough! :(

NOW LARRY 💛

I feel like i shouldn’t have to explain.

He’d LOVE YOU. You remind him of his friends :)

Your personality allows his to come out! He loves that you care for his friends, and his well being cause we know damn well he doesn’t.

Larry is a Listener instead of a talker. He’d love to listen to you ramble and ask questions while he’s painting! His favorite things at the same time!!

You draw with him, you paint, you crochet? Holy SHIT!!!! HE’D BE IN LOVE. Like! Okay !!! I LOVE YOU!!! 🧡🧡

I think he doesn’t mind any movie you guys watch. As long as it’s a mean of being able to cuddle with you on the couch and watch a movie.

He definitely finds your puns funny.

~~~

I HOPE THIS WAS OKAY!!!

What does Cereza look like and how tall is she compared to the other characters and pokemon (it feels weird calling them characters)

*me vibrating at the exact frequency required to shatter glass* yeah I can do that for you

(I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ASK (scroll to the end for some sketches of Cereza))

SO FOR STARTERS

Cereza is NOT tall, she's like maybe five feet somethin' short. She's Kieran's height during the Teal Mask and stays the same height forever. She does wear thick boots or sneakers all the time though in order to remedy this. Chunky soles are also good for traction and she climbs everything. She likes having stompers. Cereza seems taller than she is cuz she's all arms and legs, little gangly creature. She's also very sticklike, if you shook her she would make a rattling sound. All her muscle is very lean. Compact cryptid. I should clarify that I subscribe to the headcanon Kieran gets a growth spurt over the timeskip between the Teal Mask and the Indigo Disk. I think he shoots up to Amarys's height but still has issues with slouching so he might not seem like exactly the same height. Height is evidently in his genes if Carmine is any evidence. He's not done growing. (Cereza is pissed that she's not getting any taller and Kieran IS STILL GROWING) Cereza looks fucking hilarious next to all her huge freaking pokemon. Little creature next to big creature(s)

Cereza's hair is very specific in color and style in my brain. It's very wild and thick, as well as very long. It's the same consistency of a Hex Maniac's from the gen 6 games. Cereza's hair is ash blonde/white, exactly like the ash white option in game except the white streaks are even whiter (especially in the Indigo Disc, partially because fluorescents). It's very pale and muted, probably a shade lighter than the ash white in game depending on the lighting. Her hair is nigh constantly in low twintails that reach about her hips to maybe her thigh in length (it does grow over the timeskip, but it's so wild that it's kinda hard to notice especially since her bangs don't change). She will do little mini braids in her hair sometimes purely as a fidgeting habit to keep her hands busy or that piece of her hair isn't cooperating, and she wants it outta the way. Cereza's hair is the perfect length and consistency to play with and do things with. Lacey has to use every ounce of self-control in her body not to play with Cereza's hair. Deadeye has no such self-control and will bite at Cereza's hair all the time. Hair color refs!!

(DUDE THE IMAGES ARE SO BIG HOW DO I MAKE THEM SMALLER-) and also a hex maniac for hair texture reference

Moving on, Cereza's eyes are a darker red in Teal Mask, more discreet, but in the Indigo Disc they've gotten more saturated to the point of becoming a startling red. Her eyes are really big and round and sharp at the same time?? like they're round but her eyelines and eyelashes are pretty sharp. Her eyelashes are dark and pretty long. I would say her eyelashes are a dark DARK brown as opposed to black. Her eyes are very reminiscent of Briar's but a slightly different shape. Her pupils have a four-pointed star shape. This is not foreshadowing anything /lying

Cereza also has a beauty mark under each eye, perfectly identical and symmetric. (research says they're called tear moles, and they signify bad luck or hardship in life. It fits for plot reasons you'll see later lmao) She also has faint freckles all over, they're light enough that they aren't visible at a glance but you can see 'em if you squint. They would be more visible if she went out more during the day. Cryptid ass.

Posting this sketch is genuinely so scary like putting my own art on the internet? BLEGH. Giving people a visual of my own character? BLEGH.

Alright that's Cereza. Have some bonus sketches of the boys.

might transfer them to digital. idk. Anyway, thanks for staying this long!!!!!!

✨Do whatever you want forever✨

coffee shop au?? ohoho please do elaborate~

basically, under the assumption this is like a 24hr coffeeshop/diner-

Xandin- a fucking cryptid. comes in at like 4am for a black coffee with an ungodly and concerning amount of espresso. Everyone is scared shitless of him despite him not doing anything. its the aura he exudes. gives a decent tip no matter what.

Yuuki- is really only there to socialize? is always hanging around to chat but never orders anything. leaves a huge tip anyway. The old folks adore him and he brings in a shit ton of business.

Andrew- he's a busy man, pops in to grab an americano for himself and whatever gimmicky sugar abomination is currently on the menu for Pitrio. The most patient and understanding customer ever. anyone being mean to the workers gets the coldest glare known to mankind. tips royally well

Claudia- Orders black coffee and requests that some grounds be put in it. a woman that is feared by god. give her one of those cute little croissants in the window there. no not the pretty one the fucked up looking one that kinda looks like a face. tips whoever served her directly in crumpled wads of cash.

Vylasia- ALL in for the dumbass gimmick drinks no matter how fucking stupid they are. Doesnt really go to coffee shops often so its always a novelty for her. ends up paying too much but just says to keep the change.

Cy- Despises how dependent on coffee they are but considering they have a clerical job it is a necessity. It's too early for this shit. they keep their sunglasses on indoors as they order a pitch black coffee. Tips with their card and just says to tip whatever percentage, they don't care.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Elysium- Comes in after his morning run, they should be ordering a green smoothie or some other healthy bullshit but he never does. Its always an iced coffee. everyday. they ordered the green smoothie once and the feeling of muted disgust was palpable. Tips generously as long as their order isn't fucked up

Black Dahlia- Not big on coffee, but will order a different tea on the menu everyday and judge them accordingly, especially the iced tea. This is a test, don't fuck it up. If the tea is up to her standards she will become a regular but somehow only shows up when business is slow and no one else is around. only tips if they tea is good.

Overdose- comes in at 2 in the morning and requests that their coffee be brewed with an energy drink. they will provide said energy drink if asked. adds a terrifying amount of sugar to their drink afterwards. beyond their coffee war crime they are easy to chat with and they enjoy shooting the shit with the employees. tips with one of those fake money cards with scripture as a joke but it does have actual money inside when you unfold it.

Cold- Orders a coffee with cream but no sugar. On days where they are not busy they will order their coffee and sit in a secluded spot with a novel until they have finished reading the entire thing. Once they are finished they will tip the same amount every time and silently leave.

Sweetheart- Comes in just to take a pitstop from riding but can be very easily swayed to order something. Not really knowledgeable on coffee but can be recommended a mocha or a latte. Would be delighted with any heart shaped coffee art. more of a weekly-ish regular than a daily one and his tips fluctuate greatly but he does always tip.

The Host- COFFEE SNOB. Will send a cup back if it isnt exactly right. They aren't rude but they are very exacting and will give a lecture on the intricacies of the drink they ordered, ignoring the fact there are other people in line. they need to just make their own coffee at home. tips astronomically well but at what cost.

Disclaimer: the story represented in this work does not represent Stray Kids in any way; anything described in this story and all actions performed by the characters are purely fictional, this was created just for good fun.

The air was cool, the sun was just about showing its head over the horizon, shy pillars of light filtering through the blinds passing a sleeping cat soundly nappying on his bed under the window, illuminating the two friends–…or lovers?–cuddled together under the covers of a queen sized bed. 

The couple was spooning, with him as the little spoon–quiet, tiny snores passing through his airway. She was the big spoon, with one of her arms tucked under her head and the other lazily thrown around his waist under the covers. The light intruding through the blinds was steadily bringing her back from her deep sleep.

The feeling of a warm, strong back on her bare breasts was foreign, and for a brief second a warning bell went off in her mind. Who… What the.. Oh… The adrenaline spike dipped down almost as soon as it started–realisation hitting her like an exploding balloon in a child’s party, as she recognized the faint scent of perfume she’s come to associate with her best friend.

Trying to be careful as to not wake him, she moved to have a look at his face. It was slightly swollen from sleep. His dark hair sticking in all sorts of odd shapes atop his head, he just looked oh, so adorable. She could not wipe the smile off of her face as she turned around, laying on her other side to relieve some stiffness from her previous position. With her back now turned to him, she recalled the events of the previous night.

“I’m telling ya!” Changbin’s mouth was full of mid-chewed chicken. “Big Foot would definitely win in a fight with the Chupacabra”.

“The Chupacabra is more agile, Binnie. Plus, they’d strike BigFoot from behind and suck all his blood out. We went over this last weekend!” Her voice was exasperated. How could he even suggest that BigFoot would win? Nonsense!

They were standing over the kitchen counter, eating leftover fried chicken from lunch. This was their routine every Saturday. They would sit down in the kitchen of their shared flat talking nonsense, unwinding from the long and tedious work week. It was one of her favourite moments, as they both got to relax and be themselves. No worrying about deadlines, no worrying about stuffy bosses, and incompetent co-workers. Just them both being young adults enjoying each other’s company.

“But have you seen the size of him? The Chupacabra would be full and tired while BigFoot is still fine and ready to kick their ass!” Changbin was waving a piece of his chicken in front of her face, to emphasise his words.

“I’m not having this discussion with you again”, with a sigh, she looked at the clock mounted on the wall. It was getting late. “Crap, I still have to go buy groceries for tomorrow’s lunch. We won’t have enough food if I don’t”. Their friends were coming over for lunch and games, a bunch of rowdy boy-men that ate more than their physiques would let on.

“Oh, yea. Lemme grab my wallet”, Changbin said, walking towards the sink to wash his grease-covered hands.

“Nah, leave it. I wanna go on my own. I need alone time to forgive you for your shitty cryptid opinions”, she winked at him as she made a beeline for the entrance, where her shoes would be waiting for her.

Changbin just huffed. “Whatever. Call me if you need help carrying the bags”.

She was out the door as soon as her shoes were on and the bags that hung by the door were in her hand. The building’s corridors were crammed, the walls freshly painted to deceive the tenants from the water damage hiding underneath. At least rent is cheap, she thought to herself as she walked down the stairs and out the main entrance.

As soon as she stepped out of the building she was grateful for the cool breeze caressing her face. The convenience store was close to their building, enough for her walk there to help ease the butterflies in her stomach. 

Changbin had been her friend for over five years. They met through a common friend and instantly clicked. At some point down the line they decided to rent an apartment together, sharing living costs the main driving point to this arrangement as they both dealt with the excruciating consequences of late stage capitalism.

One day during a baking experiment together, Changbin just looked at her, with his face covered in flour, chocolate sprinkles on his hair, and it hit her like a ton of bricks. Oh, no. I like him. A lot. Life with him became her best and her worst time since then.

Her best, because she was able to enjoy his company, his silly laugh, the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled, and his angelic voice when he sang as he baked. 

Her worst, because she had to deal with having him so close to her, yet so far.

The bell rang as she stepped through the automatic doors of the convenience store. The shopping list resonated in her mind to not forget all the items, serving also as a distraction from all the thoughts about Changbin.

Peppers. Onions. Tofu. Eggs. Changbin’s sounds of delight when he eats something he likes. Rice noodles. Rice cakes. Chicken thighs. Changbin’s thighs when he sits on the counter talking to me when I wash the dishes. Vegetable broth. Bay leaves. Changbin’s smile when I would talk to him about my day…

With a sigh she picked the last item from the shelf, not even her anxious habits would help her forget that she was completely, and absolutely whipped for this man.

As she walked to the register, a flash of pink caught her attention in her peripheral. She smiled to herself, as she determined she had to get it. 

She had to get it for him.

“Hey, I’ll be there in two minutes. I need help with the bags”, she spoke on the phone to her friend.

“Aight, coming!” Changbin huffed through the phone, the sound of ruffling fabric apparent as he, presumably, stood up from the couch.

She hung up, steadying herself as she repositioned the straps of both reusable bags over her shoulders. It would’ve been much smarter to bring him around to help from the store, but the alone time was much needed. 

The creak of the main entrance door resonated in the otherwise quiet street, Changbin’s head popping out of it looking for her. As soon as he spotted her, he ran out the building in her direction.

“You should’ve let me come with you!” Changbin exclaimed as he took both bags from her.

“Maaaybe you should've come anyway if you were sooooo worried about it”, she replied in fake annoyance.

“And disrespect your choice of alone time? Never. Would rather die” Changbin said, puffing his chest out in the fakest stoic voice he could muster, as he entered the building and started his climb up the stairs.

“Wow, king of respecting women”, she replied sarcastically.

Changbin started a speech, a speech she was not following as her whole focus went to this ass movement as he walked up the stairs in front of her. A part of her felt bad for looking at her friend this way, but then again it’s not like she’s not caught him looking at her too sometimes. Although to be fair, she would gaslight herself into thinking his fleeting looks were all in her head, so at this moment, looking at her best friend’s ass, she was no better than a man.

“...... You know what I mean?” Her mind went back to reality as she vaguely registered the question spill from his lips.

“Haha, yea”, she weakly replied as they made it to their door, with no clue as to what he meant.

He opened the door and made his way in, leaving the bags on the kitchen counter. He started to look inside one of the bags to move items to their designated spot in the kitchen, but she stopped him.

“Wait! Don’t look at those. I have a surprise”, she exclaimed as she ran to him after closing the door.

Changbin’s face was puzzled. “A surprise?”

“Yes, yes. Close your eyes. No peeking!”

Changbin stood there in the kitchen, eyes firmly closed as she rummaged through the bags.

“I saw this at the store and had to get it”, she picked the item from the bottom of the bag and pulled it out. She held it in front of his face, with the biggest grin on her face. “Okay, open them!”.

Changbin opened his eyes, meeting face to face with a very fluffy looking pig plush. He was a grown ass man, and yet, his eyes went wide and his tone rose with excitement. “Woaaa, look at this guy! He’s sooo cute!”

“I know, right?! I thought maybe you could use a companion at the office, since you’ve been complaining about how grey that place is”, she said equally as excited.

He took the plush from her hands, lightly brushing her fingers with his as he picked it up and examined it.

“Woaaa, he’s seriously really really cute”, his smile was wide, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he looked back at her. “You’re really cute”, the words spilled from his mouth without hesitation, and yet, as soon as they passed his lips his breath caught in his throat, “I mean–the pig. I mean, you. No, the pig!”

She was shocked, and he was rambling. Sure, he’s called her cute before, but in completely different contexts, and in a completely different tone.

“You think I’m cute?” She asked, incredulous.

“Yes. No! I mean, yes! Shit…” Changbin placed the pig on the counter and immediately brought his hands to his face, lightly rubbing at his eye sockets.

Was that a yes or a no? It was confusing, and yet, a small spark of hope came to life deep within her. Did he think she was cute, really? 

“Fuck it”, Changbin said, removing his hands from his face. “Yea, I think you’re cute. Actually, I’ll have you know I think you’re too cute sometimes. It makes me want to smoosh your cheeks like this pig”.

He took the pig from the counter to demonstrate, pinching its cheeks. “I also think you’re beautiful, and that you’re funny, and that you’re a weirdo but that’s fine because I’m also a weirdo. And it feels so good that we can be weirdos together, and I constantly wish we could be weirdos together for a long time!”

It was like opening one of those funny cans from the magic shop, as the words started to come out from his mouth they couldn’t be stopped.

“God, it feels so good to let it out!” Changbin started laughing. “I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want you to be uncomfortable, or ruin our friendship, but dear lord does it feel good to finally let it out!”

She was just staring at him, processing his words. He thought she was cute. And he wants to be weirdos together for a long time. She was not good at social cues. Did that mean he wanted to spend time with her as much as she wanted with him?

Her face was blank and he was desperately looking at her, hoping for a reaction.

“Please, say something”, Changbin said, tone slightly exasperated. “C’mon, it’s starting to not feel so good anymore…”

A devilish smile crept on her face, as she looked at him. “Oh, so you liiiiiike me? You got a cruuuuush on meeee?” Her tone was playful, both as a way to tease him and as a way to protect herself for possible failure.

“C’mooonnn”, his tone shifted from exasperated to whiny. “Don’t mock me. I’m baring my heart out here and you’re playing with meee”.

Her face went serious. So, this was really happening. He was admitting to having a crush on her? Just like she had on him?

“Are you being serious, though?” Her tone was sterile, almost monotone, but with a hint of hopefulness. “Do you seriously like me?”

“Isn’t that what I’ve been saying this entire time?” Changbin looked at her face, realisation dawning on him. “Right, social cues”, he went up to her, placing his hands on her shoulders.

“I. Like. You”, he emphasised each word with a squeeze of his hands.

She just looked at him again, scanning his features. He was being honest. This was not one of her multiple fantasies, he was not joking. It was real and he was there spelling it out explicitly for her.

“Changbin…” She spoke finally, gaze moving from her usual fixed spot on his nose to his lips. “Changbin, I wanna kiss you”.

He looked at her for a second, processing her words, until his brain cells connected two and two to get four. He moved his hands from her shoulders to cup her cheeks, looking at her with lidded eyes one last time before leaning in for a kiss.

The moment their mouths connected her eyes closed, her hands moving to rest on top of his. Her heart was racing in her chest, like popping kernels in an oiled pot. His lips were so soft, gently moving against hers, they tasted like his cacao chapstick and she could then understand why some women revered the bare minimum. 

Something ignited inside of her, something that had been dormant for a long time, and suddenly she needed him, she needed to feel him as close as possible, as soon as possible.

She moved her hands from their place on top of his, and placed them on his chest, holding onto his t-shirt. She tugged at the garment slightly, and he reacted immediately. One hand in her hair and the other around her waist, he pulled her closer to him, their bodies colliding in the middle moulding to each other.

Her experiences had turned her into a calculated being. Everything had to be in its exact place, things always had to happen the exact way she wanted, and if anything deterred from the original plan she would be pissed the entire time. However, here in this moment with Changbin, all her logic was shoved down to the back of her brain. Her only all-consuming thought was him. No groceries on the counter that needed to be put away, no friends that will come tomorrow, no dishes that needed to be washed. Just Changbin.

She tentatively licked at his bottom lip, earning a groan from the man, who quickly parted his lips for his tongue to get acquaintance with hers. She could no longer taste the chicken in his tongue, only the faint minty taste of toothpaste. 

She moved her hands upwards, one to rest in the crook of his neck and the other to his nape, feeling the goosebumps rising under her touch. 

He pulled her closer, both arms hugging her waist, bringing her impossibly closer to him.

His hands then moved from her waist, slowly moving down until reaching his goal. He gripped both her asscheeks, the mix of a yelp and moan escaping her lips in surprise. Instinctively, her leg moved up to sort of wrap around his, starting a light grind of their hips. The kiss became very heated very fast, and she was enjoying every second of it.

It felt so much better than she had fantasised. He felt solid, real and oh, so enticing. A thought managed to form in her head among all the Changbin fog clouding her brain. Something she’s wanted to do for a while, never allowing herself to indulge in it even as a joke or during a friendly banter. She sneaked her hand upwards, tangling in his hair. She enjoyed the soft feeling of the strands between her fingers briefly, and then, with determination, she tugged. 

It wasn’t enough to hurt, it even wasn’t enough to actually pull Changbin from her. And yet, he seemed to have been taken by surprise, an uncalculated moan escaping his lips as his head fell back with her motions, breaking the kiss.

“Fuck!” Changbin was breathless as swears fell from his lips.

“God, I’m sorry” She was not. Well, maybe just a bit.

“No, shit. No, don’t be sorry” Changbin lightly detached from her, putting some space between them to catch his breath. “I’m just too overcome with feelings. Too many of them”.

Her chest moved up and down with her heavy breaths. “Me, too”.

It was rare for her to do it, but she looked him in the eyes. Her thoughts floated in her head like a big pile of leaves in the wind as she looked at him. She paused for a second, wondering if she should speak freely or keep herself quiet to fit into what’s socially acceptable. 

“Please don’t think ill of me”, she said, settling on speaking freely, as this was Changbin, her Binnie she was talking with. 

“I would never”, and he meant it.

She licked her lips as she swallowed the last bit of caution down, “I want you to fuck me, Changbinnie”.

Changbin stared at her for a second. A half-huff half laugh escaped his lips and he grabbed her hand, his thumb lightly stroking her knuckles. “You sure?”

“Positive. One hundred percent. Zero hesitation”.

He let out an incredulous laugh, proclaiming ‘seriously, you’re gonna be the death of me’, before tugging her hand, guiding her to his bedroom.

As she returned from her memories, she felt Changbin move beside her. He lazily turned around, his naked chest now pressing against her back, one arm sneaking around her waist, the attached hand laying just shy below her breast.

“‘Morwning”, he said, sleep very evidently still looming over him.

“Good morning, Changbinnie”, she replied, putting her hand on top of his on her body.

“Mmm, I can get used to this”, his voice was groggy as he spoke. His lower body moved closer to hers, giving her the clear feeling of an erection against her ass. 

“Well, I sure hope so”, she replied, earning a sleepy chuckle behind her. 

“Mmm”, he just hummed, tightening his grip on her. “I’m still sleepy, and I don’t wanna wake up yet”.

“Then don’t, silly”, oh, she could definitely get used to this.

A few moments passed in silence, just enjoying each other’s presence, enjoying the warmth shared between their bodies. She thought Changbin was asleep by now, until he spoke once again.

“Can I put it in?” He emphasised his request with a slow grind of his hips against her, his eyes still closed. “I don’t think I can perform right now, but I just… want to put it in”.

She chuckled at that, they had been going at it all night. She was on birth control and they’d both been recently tested clean, so she had asked if he wanted to try it raw, to which he eagerly complied. She was grateful for the consent check anyway.

“Yes. You can, Binnie”.

She adjusted her position a bit for a better angle and comfort, he removed his hand from her body only to help guide his erection to her entrance. With a light push of his hips, he went all the way in, all the way possible in this position anyway, his hand returning to the spot below her breast.

“Mmmm, you’re so warm. So cosy”, he placed an appreciative kiss on her nape.

She just lightly chuckled at his comment.

Changbin fell asleep shortly after. She just laid there in his arms, next to him, around him. Her eyes closed, and her mind oscillating between being asleep and awake, only slightly aware of her plans for the day. Oh, she would definitely get used to this.

Cats Cats Cats

Three more AUs! @the-cryptid-moth asked for TransF!Sunstar+Jake, @quaelgeist333 pondered SolTree, and a Galaxy Brain Anon requested NightSquirrel in a specific scenario!

In the first AU, Jake learns about the clans from his neighbor Pine, and when Pine passes Jake decides to let the Clan know. He politely asks to meet the leader, and boy is she pretty - but Jake has a mission. After he tells Sunstar about the death of her predecessor, he asks if there’s anything he can do to help - he’s not Clan, but his momma would be cross with him if he didn’t even ask. Sunstar ends up showing him the herbs, and for moons after, small bundles of medicine, scraps of cloth for bandages, and feathers for the kits will appear on the border. Eventually, Sunstar invites him in, and he joins, bringing his abandoned kit Tiny with him. Jake ends up being a better father figure to the emotional Tigerpaw.

In the next AU, Harry has tried so hard to be a good warrior, and has failed every time. Leafstar refuses to give up on him, and with time and patience, he becomes an excellent tracker, if still a somewhat poor hunter - he hunts on the buddy system, leading a clanmate to the prey, for them to catch. He requests the name change at his Warrior Ceremony, based on a dream he had of the sun rising on him. Later, when Darktail shows up, Sol’s skills lead to Darktail being outed as a villain. While this saves many clanmates, Skyclan is still pushed out. On their way to the clans, Sol literally runs into Tree. They bond over originally not being wanted, and Sol politely asks Leafstar to consider a new clanmate. Their kit Spireroot has a romance with a Thunderclan molly, leading to grandkits.

In the last AU, Nightcloud, an albino loner kit saved by the clan, does not get into a relationship with Crowfeather. Specifically because Crow goes to Riverclan with his half-clan mollyfriend, where they have Breezepelt. She makes friends with the rambunctious orange molly from Thunderclan, and is the first to defend her when Hollyleaf announces her true parentage - Leafpool and Hawkfrost! The pair become close, mourning the loss of Hollyleaf and celebrating her return, and dirt-talk about Brambleclaw. Nightcloud is stunned when she is asked to be deputy. When the Great Battle happens, Onestar falls. And when Hawkfrost tries to kill his blood daughter, her true father drags him down, dying together. As Firestar passes, he gives the leadership to his kit, trusting her loyalty. Nightstar and Squirrelstar are close, and a few will note that Squirrelstar’s litter highly resemble Nightstar, and that they often visit Windclan…

CW: Horror/Unsettling themes?

Would it be cool to ask for how the Brothers react to a cryptid/uncanny valley creature male!MC? Like, they know his file says he's human but how he stares at them with a smile with too many teeth is just a little bit off, he has too many joints and has a tendency to pop up behind them whenever they think too long about him. This can be platonic but if you want to put a romantic spin on this little creepy lad and his demon buds go for it! From: obey-r-us

˗ˏˋ SLIGHTLY OFF ´ˎ˗

— STARRING: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor

— NOTES: This idea is wonderful, and I appreciate you specify platonic or romantic a bunch. Also Obey-r-us is such a fun name?? Sorry for the long way I've been very upset about losing all my progress on OM sobsobsob but hope you enjoy <33 Also I didn't know what uncanny valley was until now ong

SLIGHT CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS (BELPHEGOR).

➸ LUCIFER

— PLATONIC

Lucifer will never admit to anyone how much you actually creep him out. He was the one who picked you for this program, and he still doubts your human origin occasionally. Every time he thinks of you for a little while and suddenly you're there. Those creepy smiles, the teeth he's sure you shouldn't have. The way your eyes stare straight through him. It all gives him the chills.

But he's not going to tell anyone that you do freak him out a little. It's a secret he takes to his grave.

He will threaten you a little more at the start of the program compared to how he is in the game's original story line. You freak him out and he doesn't quite trust you.

He'll still grow to know you better, and he eventually becomes quite fond of your weird habits and mannerism. He grows to find it to be a vital part of your unique charm.

He does have to bite back a laugh at the way you scare some of his brothers.

— ROMANTIC

Before you and him start dating, he'll naturally think about you more than he did before. So now he has to spend even more time with you, which just makes him more confused emotion-wise.

But he does eventually get over how bad he is with emotions and confess to you, and if you return his feelings? Bam, Lucifer has himself a creepy lil' fellow for a boyfriend.

Lucifer, spending more time with you, will eventually grow to be even more aware of your.. slightly non-human habits. He might subtly ask about your origin to try and confirm that you are human.

Even so, Lucifer doesn't really mind. If it's something he needs to know, or you want him to know, he has faith You'll tell him on your own pace.

➸ MAMMON

— PLATONIC

Mammon is much more open about how much you freak him out. How you make him uncomfortable, at least at the start. He'll constantly jump and screech in surprise when you suddenly pop up behind him, and he is very vocal about the shivers your smile and gaze give him.

Even so, Mammon doesn't actually allow anyone else to call you creepy, outside of your friend group. If a random demon calls you weird or anything, he will be on their case in seconds.

The thought that maybe you're not actually a demon never crosses his mind. So, he still calls you 'human', but sometimes that's accompanied by a 'freaky' at the start.

He's often grumbling about how you're even weirder than the witches he deals with, and that they'd probably love to meet you. Especially after you scare him.

He will still look for ways he can profit off of you, I'm sorry. At least it's never at the risk of your safety.

— ROMANTIC

If you end up in a more romantic relationship with Mammon, nothing really changes. The only major difference is that he'll be more physical with you, and that he won't mumble about how You'll get along with the witches. He won't act very different with an uncanny valley MC to a normal human MC.

➸ LEVIATHAN

— PLATONIC

Every time you pop behind him like that he nearly dies. He has fainted a few times, actually. Whether it's out of fear, shock or because he's flustered you will never know.

He doesn't pay you much attention until after you have a pact, where he'll start comparing you to supernatural characters in his anime, games and manga, and he'll do it with characters that act human but really aren't. This goes on for a long while until he realizes that something is off.

When he does, he will join Satan's investigation on you, in an attempt at finding out what you really are. He is very happy when he does this, because he feels like a main character searching for your secrets.

He might be a little freaked out, but he thinks you're the most fun he has had in ages! Everything screams right out of a manga to him!

— ROMANTIC

If you and him start dating, he'll continue with the investigation, but like Lucifer he will question you about it and try to find the answers. Though he is a lot less subtle about it compared to the first born.

Will study your habits when it's just the two of you. For both him and Satan.

He tends to ramble about you a lot. He rambles about how interesting you are, and how alike a fictional character you are! He annoys people with how much he talks about you, haha.

➸ SATAN

— PLATONIC

He is quick to notice that there is something slightly off about you, and it unnerves him quite a bit. With how you pop up behind him whenever he thinks of you, and the smile and blank stare. The silent way you walk and everything else. He is very suspicious of you, so he does what he does best when he wants to understand something!

You're his test subject now, congrats!

He is quick to start studying you and the way you behave. Your habits, your demeanor, what you won't and will eat, anything that might help him discover what you are. He has zero faith that you're fully human. And he will discover your secrets!

And even if he knows you know what he's up to, he won't stop. He also invites you to read with him as he digs through books to find a creature that explains what you are. He has had various ideas about it. His personal favorite one is your secret identity as a changeling.

If he finds you playing into his schemes and games a little, he will be very happy.

— ROMANTIC

If you're dating him, then you absolutely know about his low-key high-key stalker habits, and probably don't mind all that much. Which is convenient, since he has no plans of stopping.

He will also use his status as your boyfriend in an attempt at finding new clues about who, or more accurately, what you are. He doesn't actually take it that seriously anymore, but it's for fun. He often recommends you supernatural books to read.

➸ ASMODEUS

— PLATONIC

He will not go anywhere near you for a while. You're weird! And freaky! And very creepy. You almost remind him of a bug. Which is gross, by the way. And if you touch him during this time? He will scream.

Eventually, watching you interact with his brothers, he will start thinking that you're one of the cutest people ever. You're just the most wonderful human boy, aren't you?

He definitely acknowledges that you don't exactly seem completely human, but he also doesn't care the same way Levi and Satan do.

He takes a bunch of pictures of you, and in some he tries to capture your natural, sorta creepy charm! He grows to be quite affected by said charm.

He will absolutely get dresses in more stereotypical creepy outfits, and will try to get you to join him! And he'll do the same for more cute, pastel ones that he commonly wears. He also tries to get you into those with him! You can both match! Isn't that fun?

Might make up some silly stories about you to feed Satan and Levi's investigation. They know he's joking, but it turns into a joke later anyway, so neither of them mind.

— ROMANTIC

Oh? You're dating him?

Well, now there really is no escaping his matching outfits and matching aesthetics. He'll pull the 'you're my boyfriend,' card with you if you disagree. He plays dirty like that.

If anyone calls you creepy in his presence, they will regret it. Not because he gets upset, no, because he will speak for an hour about how that is your charm. And how the opposite vibes you both have make you both the best couple out there!

➸ BEELZEBUB

— PLATONIC

Much like Asmo, he acknowledges that there is something off about you. He is sure that humans don't have that many teeth. Or teeth that sharp. But at the same time, you don't seem malicious so it mostly goes like canon.

He does get a little weirded out whenever you look at him, like you're looking right jnto the very core of his soul. But as long as he doesn't feel like you're harmful, he doesn't mind what you do.

He will occasionally join in on Satan and Levi's investigation of you, but most of the time he ends up nearly reveling them to you (despite you already knowing) so he can't join in on the stetj missions.

He keeps a special eye on what you won't and will eat for both of them, and after the whole event with him he starts doing so because he wants to know you better.

He doesn't really pay much attention to your.. weird nature. But believe me, if he catches another demon calling you that, and you look upset? They are dead. Gone. Unalived. Nobody will ever see them again.

— ROMANTIC

Just like Mammon, there really isn't much of a change with the way he behaves when you're friends and when you're dating.

➸BELPHEGOR

— PLATONIC

Observant as he is, he can tell right off the bat that there is something weird about you. He almost thinks you've already seen through his plan when he's in the attic based on the way you look at him. But lazy as he is, he brushes that thought away and doesn't really care that much.

He does wonder how you're able to slip past Lucifer so easily. You're with him in the attic more often than he think you should be able to. He's slightly worried at first that Lucifer is going to caught you, but he realizes fast that you're just really sneaky somehow.

During the incident he can feel that there is something a little non-human about your bones. At least, from what he remembers from before the fall. He wonders how much humans evolved.

Afterwards, he does get a little engaged in the investigation that Satan and Levi have going on. And while he's usually too tired to bother helping them properly, he'll feed them all the information he has, and he will get engaged when he was enough motivation. He asks them to let him know if they find something on you.

He will absolutely question Lucifer on whether or not he knew that you were sneaking by to come visit him in the attic. Lucifer doesn't really answer, but Belphie is smart enough to understand the answer is no.

— ROMANTIC

If you get engaged in a romantic relationship with Belphie, he will open up to you and admit that he actually thinks your 'creepy' nature is very charming to him. Does Belphie have a thing for scary or creepy things? Yes, yes he does.

He sometimes copies certain things you do. Like the shallow stare that makes people feel you're staring into their soul? He can repljacte that perfectly. He is curious on how it makes you feel, though you don't really react to it that much.

👋 anon from the timeline ask again! You answered most of it, but either i didnt catch on, or i was too vauge in regards to what i wanted to know 😣 I think what I meant was the three timelines branching after OOT and MM! (downfall, twilight, Great Sea) They all had different "versions" of the hero of time, but since Time seems to be outside the flow and is a god seeing over it, how did that split end up happening? Did he create it? If so, for what purpose? Why create a timeline where he died? Unless he isn't outside the flow of time and a timeline split occurred in which he died? Or is the hero of time a completely different person in this AU? Maybe I'm thinking too much about it - sincerely, a curious mutual who rambles too much

OOF sorry I completely misunderstood your ask!!! Sorry!!!

Okay okay so the timeline split is still canon in the Cryptid au. I will make it very clear now that Time does not exist outside of the flow of time- he’s subject to it just as much as everyone else is, he just has some more control. I’ve been trying to give him limits to his power. For example, he can go back in time infinitely, but he cannot rewind to any point before he was born as Link of the Kokiri. He cannot exist before he existed if that makes sense. He has no control over how quickly the future comes- he has to wait just like everyone else. His time travel is ONLY to the past.

It’s important to note that just as everyone else creates new timelines and new versions of themselves with every decision they make, Time does as well. Now, he has a bit more control over his consciousness as he becomes a different Time, but the effect is still the same. So the three main timelines we have: the Downfall timeline, the Child timeline, and the Adult timeline, are all different versions of him. I don’t think this departs much from canon- everyone knows a different Hero, but the God has dominion over all.

The Child timeline version of him, the one that did the God’s trail of Majora’s Mask, is the only one to ascend to Godhood. But that doesn’t erase the other two timelines! And even in timelines where he should be dead, he still has influence.

I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE!!! I’ve been so incredibly not okay these past few days and haven’t been able to muster the ability to make lore posts or art. I’m happy to explain further if I misunderstood your question again or if anything didn’t make sense haha. I’m starting to feel better.

Okay so this post got me thinking about how Reiner would be as a pet parent/co-parent, and now I must share my little selfship headcanons for what his dynamic with each of my pets would be. I encourage you all to do the same with your own pets if you like! Also I like showing off my babies.

Reiner trying to befriend my pets

Reiner has more experience with dogs than with cats, so he's immediately excited to meet Mason. Mason's trauma from being abused by his original owner means he still gets spooked very easily by loud noises and unusual objects, so Reiner kind of tip toes around him - more than he needs to, to be honest. If he accidentally scares Mace, he's following him around practically on his hands and knees, offering treats and trying to make it up to him. Mason quickly realizes that Reiner is easily manipulated for food, and it's not long before I have to put a very strict limit on how many treats Reiner can feed him per day.

Reiner hasn't spent much time around cats and isn't quite sure how to interact with them at first, but he soon becomes pretty much as obsessed with Mochi as I am. She's tiny! Adorable! Ridiculously sweet! But boy when he finds out that she's a teeny bit disabled and has certain physical limitations, he starts treating her like she's made of glass, making sure she doesn't over exert herself and helping her onto every surface she wants onto even though she's perfectly capable of climbing. Within a month of meeting him, Mochi realizes Reiner is basically a meow-controlled elevator/butler.

Reiner thinks everything about Chicken Nugget is hilarious, and is inordinately amused by the simple fact that this little being actively responds to the name 'Chicken Nugget' no matter how many times he sees it happen. Whenever she gets fired up and starts upsetting the others by playfully slamming them to the floor, he picks her up and patiently explains to her that being bigger and stronger than her siblings means she has to control her strength :c He tries to decode her mysterious whims, but she seemingly develops new ones constantly just to keep him on his toes.

Porscha is the worst cat on the entire planet, but Reiner is aghast when I say so. He refuses to believe such things and is incredibly permissive of everything she does. Slowly he grows to regret this as Porscha obsessively touches his face while he sleeps, does literally the worst thing she can at any given moment, and eats his hair. Reiner is still too stubborn, though, insisting that she's not being that annoying. All of the behavioral training I've done with Porscha is set back to square one because Reiner won't tell her 'no' for anything. Finally he breaks down one morning when Porscha freaks out because a strand of hair she pulled off his head and ate is stuck in her butt. We being training anew, but Reiner still feels guilty when he has to curb her obsessive behaviors by not rewarding them with interaction...

He doesn't even see Ponzu for the first time until several months in, when she peers out from a closet. He thought maybe I was joking about having a fourth cat who fears all humans but me. Reiner is so excited to finally see this cryptid that Ponzu gets startled and vanishes into the cat dimension. Reiner becomes determined to befriend her, setting up stake outs where he'll set out food and hide behind a chair and wait until Ponzu approaches, and any time she glances at him he tries to do the 'slow blink' that I told him cats use to signal goodwill. He's a little pouty when after nearly a year, he can only interact with Ponzu if he's seated on the floor and not looking directly at her, but sometimes when he's sleeping I'll catch her snuggled against his feet.
