Combining "What if Anduin embraced shadow and Shadowreaper became canon in WoW" and "What if Anduin ran away to become a pirate under the name Jerek".

#world of warcraft #anduin wrynn #Give me Pirate Shadowreaper please #or just shadowreaper i really want him to appear in wow #or pirate anduin #Legend tells the story of a lone pirate ship #a cursed vessel with a cursed crew #their captain glows in neon colors #and wields a rather familiar sword #The Boralus Authority seeks information on the whereabouts of said ship #and offer a reward for any tips which lead to the discovery of captain and his sword. #anyway ive always wanted to write a fanfic about anduin abandoning the throne and disappears only for years later #someone finds out he became a pirate named jerek #i wrote lots of notes for the story and i should share them even if i dont write it

friends, do consider this delightfully eccentric syllabus that i’ve stumbled upon in Steven Moore’s The Novel: An Alternative History (& that was built around the unorthodox masterpiece that is Rabelais’ Gargantua and Pantagruel):

“With the motto "Do What You Will," Rabelais gave himself permission to do anything he damn well pleased with the language and the form of the novel; as a result, every author of an innovative novel mixing literary forms and genres in an extravagant style is indebted to Rabelais, directly or indirectly. Out of his codpiece came Aneau's Alector, Nashe's Unfortunate Traveller, Lopez de Ubeda's Justina, Cervantes' Don Quixote, Beroalde de Verville's Fantastic Tales, Sorel's Francion, Burton's Anatomy, Swift's Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels, Fielding's Tom Jones, Amory's John Buncle, Sterne's Tristram Shandy, the novels of Diderot and maybe Voltaire (a late convert), Smollet's Adventures of an Atom, Hoffmann's Tomcat Murr, Hugo's Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Southey's Doctor, Melville's Moby-Dick, Flaubert's Temptation of Saint Anthony and Bouvard and Pecuchet, Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Frederick Rolfe's ornate novels, Bely's Petersburg, Joyce's Ulysses, Witkiewicz's Insatiability, Barnes's Ryder and Ladies Almanack, Gombrowicz's Polish jokes, Flann O'Brien's Irish farces, Philip Wylie's Finnley Wren, Patchen's tender novels, Burroughs's and Kerouac's mad ones, Nabokov's later works, Schmidt's fiction, the novels of Durrell, Burgess (especially A Clockwork Orange and Earthly Powers), Gaddis and Pynchon, Barth, Coover, Sorrentino, Reed's Mumbo Jumbo, Brossard's later works, the masterpieces of Latin American magic realism (Paradiso, The Autumn of the Patriarch, Three Trapped Tigers, I the Supreme, Avalovara, Terra Nostra, Palinuro of Mexico), the fabulous creations of Severo Sarduy and Reinaldo Arenas, Markson's Springer's Progress, Mano's Take Five, Rios's Larva and otros libros, the novels of Patil West, Tom Robbins, Stanley Elkin, Alexander Theroux, W. M. Spackman, Alasdair Gray, Gaetan Soucy, and Rikki Ducornet ("Lady Rabelais," as one critic called her), Mark Leyner's hyperbolic novels, the writings of Magister Gass, Greer Gilman's folkloric fictions and Roger Boylan's Celtic comedies, Vollmann's voluminous volumes, Wallace's brainy fictions, Siegel's Love in a Dead Language, Danielewski's novels, Jackson's Half Life, Field's Ululu, De La Pava's Naked Singularity, and James McCourt's ongoing Mawrdew Czgowchwz saga.”

(+ it seems that someone has even gone out of their way to combine all of these into a goodreads list, if that’s your cup of tea!)

#* #personally speaking i'm nearly swooning over it #i'm familiar with a fair share of those titles but oh. not all of them. definitely not all of them. #the thrill of literary discovery! #syllabuses

I Am So Glad You Asked!!!

So basically... Tokitoswap! a swap au in which the tokis and the kamados swap roles-- yui swapping w/ tan, and mui swapping with nezzy. 

aka: Two Twins Have A Bit Of A Worse Time Than Usual And Suddenly Find Themselves In The Middle Of A Thousand Year Struggle Between Humans And Demons (Which Are Real By The Way)!

. it also happens to be an exercize in having a concept, going “hey, wouldnt it be funny if--?” and then it sticks and you have to commit. i keep trying to explain in a way that Makes Sense, but im gonna be honest. theres just So Fucking Much going on and ive been trying to write this for hours and i dont even know where to start summarizing WAHAHAH. i dont know if its very Canon Aligned but it sure is very Me Aligned and i sure am gonna commit to the bit! anyway. 

its heavily in-progress and was supposed to be a clean one-role swap but! Well!!!! It Sure Isn’t Anymore!!! 

under the cut since im Incapable of keeping things short:

funy lil swap au! ft:  Yui: “Older” Brother who Thinks he’s in charge. a beleaguered 14-year-old who stumbled into being a slayer and super isn’t prepared for this. Unfortunately, having your sole remaining family turn into a demon is kind of antithetical to “go home and pretend nothing happened.” he is handling this very well. (lie) a user of wind-breathing, his main priority is keeping him and mui safe, and is a bit overprotective. which is a problem, since mui will charge headfirst into the first sign of danger to protect him. their relationship is a bit messy, but they’re pretty much the only thing holding each other together. a kid trying so hard to act bigger than he is-- and inevitably, routinely failing.

Mui: Odd Little Creacher secretly hiding Rage More Powerful Than A Thousand Suns. just barely surviving the attack of their family one fateful night by That Man, he manages to completely break the curse and hunger or being a demon through his own sheer will. unfortunately, he also completely loses control of himself and, in order to make sure that energy doesnt completely tear him apart, his consciousness completely mists over-- leaving him rather airheaded and distant in an attempt to hold back the roaring of a new power he cannot control. . but hes so silly!! ^w^ couldn’t hurt a fly!!

Murata: Some Fucking Guy who just so happened to get roped into all this. is just absolutely baffled this kid is out here slaying demons like this, and is honestly doing his best to make sure he doesn’t stupidly get himself killed. despite being at a higher rank than them, though, he’s kind of... well, he hasn’t gotten the hang of water-breathing techniques. try as he might, he just cant quite reach the same skill level as some of his peers. even still though, he has to keep trying. he has a job to do, and promises to keep. 

Susamaru: Professionally identifies as a Problem. a user of beast-breathing, she just kind of... shows up one day and starts antagonizing. originally started fighting the twins for the honestly-kind-of-reasonable reason of “That Kid Is A Demon And Thats A Fucking Problem” but got distracted messing with yui enough to get. kinda curious about the other one. she’s loud and brash and fucking annoying, but at some point she just... asserted herself. and never left.  she’s an odd case. ridiculously skilled at the whole slaying-demons thing, she just... doesnt seem to take things seriously. has a penchant for irritating people on purpose-- but its purely for the extent of understanding how they work. what makes them tick. she’s here for a good time, not a long time. most of her peers don’t like her much, but once she’s decided that she likes someone, theres very little she wont do for them. and these nerds just so happen to be next on the list. 

. all in all, its just these dorks against the world. there’s just. a ridiculous amount of mess ive written about how they function and how their arcs shape up, and while there Are some other roles and etc written up, my brain has been completely laser focused on These Four In Particular, so . \o/ ! anyway, heres a bunch of ambient sketches from all over the place of Them(tm)

#pikramble #<== new tag for whenever i inevitably infodump again #ANYWAY IM BEING SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY its been MONTHS. #like. i started in like september last year and its just. theyre most of what ive been thinking abt!!! #POLITELY ALSO gonna. ask for no rbs on this post specifically. not that i can stop u #JUST BC this isnt like. a very easily presentable au and also im very nervous all th time n if this breaches containment ill explode. ty <3 #this is for me adn th handful of th rest of u listening 2 me during this sleepover. #but like. this isnt even the most of it besties. #i havent even gotten into yui's weird thing with Fate or susa's thing with Conflict #or mui's struggle with what it means to be a demon; what it means to have autonomy; what makes you You. #or mura's self-discovery or their weird; patchworked sibling bond or what it means to experience loss and the nature of Moving Forward #not even mentioning nezzy's whole deal or whatever the Fuck is wrong with kai this time or!!!! AUHG #lichrally will answer any questions but this took me hours bc i kept getting nervous WAHAHAH #all this to say: i spent months thinking abt an au and accidentally made what might as well be weird fuckig ocs. thankyou <33 #dont expect any of it to be like... too canon compliant; things r a mess but i care too much to bother w staying in line w it!!! #anyway u WILL see these guys every so often. whether au-wise or oc-wise. if u see any suspiciously familiar ocs from me No U Dont(tm)

A Shelter for Witch Familiars really was just supposed to be a series of slice-of-life stories, some happy, some sad about witches and familiars. Did not expect the project to grow and contain scenes of:

a witch pleading to the animals under her care to practice safe sex/family planning

shifter witches using their power to deal with dysphoria

blood sacrifices and serial killers

culty healing churches

really, really bad efforts to help someone

The amount of editing this thing will need, wooza.

But I'm still keeping all those elements. They'll just fit together better.

did not write as much as i liked today but i made the playlist for the nanowrimo 2023 project that has a specific order to reflect the tones of the story and that's the closest i get to outlining before a draft so

#idk how to explain this from a I Dont Actually Outline Before Drafting Usually POV but #making playlists with a specific order feels like the first layer to understanding a narrative bc its like i can hear the tone of it unfold #i dont need to know what it will look like on page but i can look at a playlists body #and it feels like i can see the ebbs and flows of the narrative's tone/vibes/etc. the emotional movement #which for the type of stories i write that helps a lot LOL #making playlists that way kind of feels like ive put the story into a heart monitor. its not showing me all the vitals but its showing me #the movement of the story's core #OKAY WAITTT i think the best way to explain it is #i'm a very vibe driven writer but also vibes are very sensory to me #when i make a playlist its not just songs that remind me of the wip its songs that SOUND like the wip to me #i have a very deep sensory relationship to stories + sensory things connect me to the Vibes #and the more familiar i am with the Vibes of a story the easier it is for me to enter the story and then figure out what actually happens #which is why i prefer to discovery write most of the time bc being deep in the story like that #feels like a similar level of immersion that i get from things like playlists #PERSONALLY! #so when i make playlists in a specific order the songs usually group themselves together and it feels like i can hear how the story moves #through those groups without knowing what the events look like yet #playlists and moodboards etc are literally integral to me because stories usually start very abstract/vibey in my brain #rather than a clear idea and i need something more tangible/sensory to flesh it out

The ceramic wall against his back is sweltering, but its her presence looming over him that makes his skin sweat and lungs burn. Another commission finished! This one might be a little familiar to anyone who's looked through my work before -- it's the characters depicted in this drawing! Thank you so much to RatMan183 for the commission! I'm flattered!!

Just broke the news to my mom that I’ve decided to celebrate Saturnalia this year on top of our family’s normal Christmas celebrations, and she said that she was fine with it because the sexy vampire man in her favorite book series also celebrates Saturnalia. So. Win? I think?

#saturnalia #familiarity is the enemy of bigotry or whatever the saying is ig #I believe she was referring to #a discovery of witches #haven’t had the pleasure of reading it myself yet #but hey if it can get my conservative parents to be chill about pagan holidays then dope #local queer classicist posts

I do often Wonder who first figured out things that have become seccond nature to us. Like making tools who figured out obsidian is so sharp who first made fire, who figured out seeds. I have no doubt in my mind that they could and they did. I guess I’m just more curious on the specifics of how they figured it out.

#ryders rambles #like how did they come across this discovery #how did they spread that information who helped them figure it out was it a Group effort solidarity did some kid drop a plum and notice 10 #years later there was a tree there #I don’t wanna come off as #oh conspiracy theory aliens or whatever more I’m saying wouldn’t it be so cool to know the exact details of how we first figured out how to #make a knife #like it’s wild man #this shit that’s so seccond nature to us was once new and exciting isn’t that WILD like the wheel was once invented #I don’t think we give early early civilian enough credit man if I looked at a rock my fist through wouldn’t be #what if i sharped that to a point and threw it at things I want to kill it would be OH SICK LOOK AT THAT ROCK #I could fucking never so impressive. #like everything that is familiar to us was once new and I know that’s a simple concept but in action it’s wild to think about #writing system where once new (multiple times tbh denpending on where u are) #cooking meat was once new #I’m jumping around here time wise but I hope u get the picture #art was once fucking new isn’t that insane

@whirling-fangs continued from here. 

        Often this boy was quite rowdy, even when it comes to trying to sit still it must be hard for him to do so. And without a second thought, Mitsuri had thought of just sharing some of her food with him to see his reaction curiously. She never really minded sharing food no matter how hungry she gets--after all, eating food with others makes it more enjoyable anyway! "I'm glad you like it! I made it myself actually. Here, have some more." Mitsuri smiled and gladly gathered and picked up a good chunk of the huge omurice with the chopsticks and gave more for Inosuke. "Wait, don’t tell me you’ve never had this before?” It was a pretty simple dish to make and have, it mostly depended on what you choose to add the fillings of it. “I guess you’ve really been missing out on quite a lot of things being on your own before...” she hummed in thought.

#whirling-fangs #( MAIN. )┊something familiar to delve into new discoveries. #//of course! she knows food can help with a lot <3

[ID: a panel of Batman and Superman standing side by side in a clear, transparent box; surrounded by what's presumably space (?). They're shown from a slight distance and from behind. Batman asks a question to which Superman answers, gaining a reply back. The dialogue bubbles are in hieroglyphic symbols, leaving the actual contents unknown to the reader.

#imagine being clark. you're an alien on a planet that isnt your own (but youll eventually take the burden of protecting anyways) #youre surrounded by these humans and others where you clearly dont belong. its little things at first that just plants and engraves that #knowledge that youre an outsider. you dont know exactly why yet but theres no denying that you witness and observe more than you #participate. that youre just.... different. #imagine feeling like you constantly dont belong and learning you have the powers of a god despite never asking for them or wanting them #that you can hurt - you can kill - without lifting a pinkie. that you can destroy everything if youre not careful. #if you treated them like how they treated you all your life. #you're terrified at your own powers. at who or what you are. #then you learn that your planet was destroyed. that youre all alone. #the people you never even got to know or make memories with - including your biological family. #the culture and language and society. everything is gone. you're lonely as clark kent and as superman. you can save earth but not yourself #even with the more recent discovery of your cousin. that's all that's left to preserve the memory and legacy of Krypton. #not even having memories of the place yourself. that Kryptonese is only KARAS native language. #imagine being so alone and responsible for making sure the world doesn't forget an entire planet and species #who do you share that with? who gets to help ease the burden from your shoulders? who will listen?? #then bruce fucking wayne starts learning kryptonese. not because you asked him to but taking it upon himself #to. he talks occasionally in it to you. does he know when itll bring comfort? when you need to hear it?? doesn't matter #the second language grows familiar and warm on your tongue - something you grow into and take comfort in #does he teach any of his children it? in a mission and listened to and they speak it to him - unexpectedly and rolling off their tongues #the dead language coming to life slowly. itll never be the same. itll never receive the glory it once had #but Krypton lives on - the language being one of love and found family. of never being alone again. #pushing my 'bruce's love language is acts of service' agenda but its true #i love them ALMOST as much as they love each other #superbat #bruce wayne #superman #batman #clark kent #anyways. rambling in my tags so oops. if anyone read this hi love u. hope ur having a good day
