Used to be lonely [redraw of this piece from 2021]
Something that was meant to be a simple sketch to check my progress has turned into a full blown piece. :) Anyways, I might be a bit embarassed about tons of dsmp fanart I've drawn but i'll remember it as truly important to my improvement as an artist. I still love my horns and tusks AU so I guess that only pushed me towards expanding on this piece as much as I did lol.

TWST Monster AU Ideas (NSFW)
>ageless and minors dni<
IDK if I'm gonna do an AU where NRC is just filled with non-humans and MC is the only human or have a completely different setting where it's basically fantasy village filled with the TWST boys but monsters. For beastmen basically just give them animal heads and like... Fantasy beastfolk. Same with mers they're basically the same but more monster features.
Either way I want thoughts on what monsters each guy would be
Riddle - Centaur- based off competitive/show horse
Ace - Satyr (maybe make shortstack for size diff)
Deuce - Rabbitfolk/half rabbitfolk? (Shortstack?)
Cater - Slime/ooze (Can do the duplication spell but not because he just splits himself)
Trey - Minotaur
Leona - Lionfolk/Leonin
Ruggie - Hyenafolk/Gnoll
Jack - Wolffolk/worgen
Azul - Octomer but big/kraken?
Jade & Floyd - Eel mer but more monsterous (more teeth and creepier)
Kalim - Harpy (parrot or bird of paradise based)
Jamil - Naga (definitely keeping the hypnotism)
Vil - Incubus ;)
Rook - Bugbear/firbolg/troll idk something big with a tail and some tusks mayhaps
Epel - fairy/pixie (even more size difference)
Idia - Ghost
Malleus - Dragon (basically the same but humanoid form is glamour and still he has lots of scales and his tail and wings and of course horns)
Lilia - Bat monster (basically giant bat with some human-like features)
Silver - Centaur (based off work/war horse)
Sebek - Lizardfolk/Drake/Dragonborn/maybe kobold? (for size difference)
Neige - Angel
Che’nya - Catfolk/Tabaxi
Dire Crowley - Crow harpy
Divus Crewel - Human? Maybe breeds monsters like monster husbandry.
Mozus Trein - Human? Maybe also a monster fucker so monster fucker mentor? Or just the friend that judges your taste.
Ashton Vargas - Chimera/Manticore (looking like Beast)
Sam - Undead? Ghoul/zombie? A friend from the other side?
Please reply or send me an ask with your thoughts!

I saw all those harpy Penguin posts and was like "I wonder if I could help or add something" when I noticed you wanted a name for it. Idk if you already have one but here is the essence of it I have so far in general.
Cardinal Instinct, or also words or phrases and concepts such as Nature vs Nuture, Core Instincts, Celestial Alingment, Harmonic Convergence.
Cardinal because it means most important or fundamental, and it is an aspect of the Zodiac signs with Cardinal, Fixed and Muted nature's based on the cycles of seasons and their phases of the start, the intrinsic bulk and the transitional conclusion.
It also is a play on Carnal, similar to how Apex Polarity is both a play on the phrase Apex Predator and Polarity with Polar, or maybe even also just with the Poles. It is also a reference to Cardinal directions, which are the defined and known directions on a compass, they are the familiar and known paths that are often taken because they form our understanding of the world and everything in it. But although they are the most formal they are most certainly not the only ways.
This references how Eclipse and PenguinHarpy!Y/N are both following their Instincts but also are in a situation where they are coming into question. They are both trying to care for the babies, but Penguin Y/N shouldn't by the technical detail of them not being Harpies but Orca Mer young, while it makes more sense for Eclipse to be compelled to tend to them. But Eclipse Is also bending the situation when he refrains from just following that direct line of instinct, naturally arriving at the typical bloody conclusion.
While nurture is what compelled our Harpy Y/N to take these 2 baby mers under their wings literally, it's up to Eclipse to either follow the vein straight to the scent of blood at the end or deviate from nature's course and answer in kind. The heart flows both in and out, and it's nature is as entrenched in its deep and darker reaches as it is swathed in the warmer and brighter patterns where the light touches.
But we all know at the end of the day if Eclipse gets what he wants he's taking a birdie home along with the two newly adopted children.
On another note I also did ponder over the concept of Sun and Moon being in the same universe as Apex Polarity, and my interpretation/idea was Sun being a Beluga and Moon being a Narwhal. Beluga fits Sun's personality quite a bit, but I will admit I cannot imagine how the heck you'd be able to fit that goofy-ass horn on Moon. I just wanted to mention this for the mental image of magical sea unicorn Moon and musical sea canary Sun for fun.
I love Cardinal Instinct! It flows well, has lots of thought and meaning behind it, and mirrors the structure name of Apex Polarity! I'd love to use that for the AU title if you don't mind!!! The dynamics of Orca!Eclipse and Penguin Harpy!Y/N are so well defined and explored within a few paragraphs, I'm in awe!
(He's absolutely taking a birdie home along with his babies)
That's so cute!!! A natural musical ability and a beautiful white and yellow tipped tail for Sun, and a majestic tusk for Moon with a tail of deep blue mottled with white markings like stars! I'm pondering some kind of sea shell or maybe even twisting his tusk into a head cap instead of a large canine tooth.
Regardless, these two would be much more mild-mannered with our lovely photographer, though no less interested in Y/N.
Excellent thoughts all around; I'm chewing on your every word!

You've gotten me wanting to take a crack at drawing some of the pet!AU demons for kny now - you got any ideas for how the main trio (tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu) would look as demons in your AU?
Since I'm not much of an art person, I don't have anything too specific in mind. >3> I'll give some potential thoughts/ideas here, but you're welcome to do whatever you'd like in your interpretations!
Tanjirou — Assuming he'd look similar to Nezuko, either two horns on his forehead, or one on the opposite side as hers. Similar body markings too (and the facial markings from his canon demon moment), but resembling flames instead of her leaf-like pattern.
Zenitsu — Using Kaigaku's demon form as a thematic reference, pointed ears seem fitting, especially awkwardly oversized ones (great for superhuman hearing!). Black sclera too, and lichtenberg figure-like markings across various parts of his body.
Inosuke — Large, sharp lower teeth that nearly qualify as tusks (VERY out of place on his pretty face...), and possibly more horns/spikes elsewhere. Jagged, scar-like body markings might also be good, and even larger claws than are "normal" for demons.

Just a little continuation of this AU idea. I'll be using their show names for ease of understanding but in the story they would be called what I called them in the previous post.
It all cumulates toward a masquerade ball where everyone is dressed as mythical creatures.
Newly crowned King Steven dresses as the Stratford Lyon. A beast that is that of a red lion with large antlers and tusks, but known for its impressive and wild mane (you know Steve would latch on that like lightning). He dressed all in red with his hair flowing to his shoulders, his mask is red, too. It's a full face mask that is a lion face with tusks and the antlers coming off the top of the mask gracefully blending into his hair.
Eddie is beguiling dressed as Mephistopheles. He's dressed all in black. His mask dark rust red covering his upper lip and horns curling from the top of his mask, like Steve's antlers but his are rams' horns.
Robin is dressed as a Nachtkrapp. She was born in Germany and married off to a French Marquis (multilingual like whoa) so she grew up hearing about the night raven. She wanted to go scary and masculine. She succeeds. :D
Chrissy is an angel, to play up on the queen thinking Steve should pick her and Steve wanting to pick Eddie. Her mask is silver, only covering her eyes. She wears a circlet on her piled up hair making it look like a halo. She wears pure white dress. And she is the only one at the ball who knows that Mephisto is Eddie.
Steve's other candidates for marriage are dressed as Titania, a mermaid, and a Valkyrie, Nancy, Vickie, and Tammy respectively.
The Party is all dressed as mythical creatures. Dustin is a griffin, Will is a unicorn, and Mike is dragon. And is completely pissed when Lucas shows up a wyvern. Lucas points out his wings are his forearms which completely different from the four legged, back-winged dragon Mike is. Dustin wanted to be a griffin because it was like Steve's Stratford Lyon without completely giving it away who is under the mask.
The queen is royally pissed when Jonathan turns up as Oberon signalling that Nancy and he are an item, completely removing her from candidacy.
Eddie dressed up in secret for the ball because as he was stripped of his titles he wasn't allowed to go. But an advisor of Steve's and long time friend of the Munsons, lets Eddie go in his place. Chrissy helps him get clothes and things and stores them in her room. Which he sneaks into after the ball has started and changes.
Hopper helps him sneak around front to go through the front gates as though he's arriving.
Steve is drawn to Eddie, even though he doesn't know it's him. The queen is chewing glass. This was NOT how it was supposed to go.
Eddie tries to sneak back to Chrissy's before the unmasking at midnight, but Steve chases him. He finds out the man he was so attracted to is also the one that makes him laugh, makes him think, makes him a better person.
And they kiss about it.

📽 ?
Send me a 📽 and I’ll tell you about an animatic I’ll never make
I'm pretty sure I haven't talked about this one yet (aside from vague mentions in the THCC back in 2019).
youtube
Opening chords - Jim is fighting against Camelot knights and losing. He's human, wearing the daylight armor.
Fiyero! - scene transition from Jim to Claire. Claire is in Morgana's cave from the end of season 2, screaming as she pulls out a grimoire from a bookshelf and flips through the pages.
The next four lines of chanting would have Claire reading/chanting overlaid on top of even more of the Jim fight scene. And then after that is body horror that is being placed under a cut.
Let his flesh not be torn - Claire fully fades out of view as Jim's skin begins to turn blue
Let his blood leave no stain - Jim's wounds begin to knit themselves back together.
Though they beat him / Let him feel no pain - Jim is shocked at the transformation but continues to fight back against the knights.
Let his bones never break - A mildly gruesome scene of Jim's hands changing shape
And however they try - Each knight hits Jim in the head, and from those wounds horns grow.
They try to destroy him - Jim grows in height to his half-troll height
Let him never die, - The sun comes out, and the knights look relieved.
Let him never die! - The knights' relief turns to fear as they realize that Jim isn't dying in the sunlight.
Eleka nahmen nahme - Jim's transformation completes with his hair and tusks
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen / Eleka nahmen nahmen / Ah tum ah tum eleka... eleka... - Cut back to Claire pacing around Morgana's cave, with multiple shots of the scenery and Claire growing increasingly frustrated.
Ugh! What good is this chanting? - Claire looks up from the book
I don't even know what I'm reading - Claire throws the book to the ground
I don't even know what trick I ought to try - Furious at herself, Claire kneels next to the book
Fiyero, where are you? / Already dead or bleeding? - Claire picks the book up once more, hugging it to her chest before opening it back up to read.
One more disaster I can add to my generous supply? - Claire looks around the room.
The chorus portrays Claire and Jim's relationship up until this point, albeit in an AU version where despite it being the modern era, the knights of Camelot still rule, and Claire has been looking into the occult as a way to fight both Gunmar and the Pendragon dynasty.
Nessa - Enrique and NotEnrique can be seen on-screen
Doctor Dillamond - Claire's friends can be seen
Fiyero / Fiyero! - Claire smiles softly to herself, but tears form in her eyes, and she ends up screaming to the sky.
One question haunts and hurts - Close-up on the shadow staff
Too much, too much to mention - The shadow staff glows and we watch it travel to Claire's hand
Was I really seeking good - Claire sitting at a table with Jim, Toby, Blinky, and AAARRGGHH!!!
Or just seeking attention? - Claire is in the same pose, but now she's at her family's dining table
Is that all good deeds are - In the present, the shadow Claire casts has Morgana's silhouette
When looked at with an ice-cold eye? - Claire blinks, and when she opens her eyes they are the same purple they were in the ultimate portal scene.
If that's all good deeds are - The hand holding the shadow staff gains cracks
Maybe that's the reason why - The other hand makes a beckoning gesture, cracks appearing on it as it does.
No good deed goes unpunished - Claire steps over the grimoire, and as she does so she begins to levitate.
All helpful urges should be circumvented - Claire's armor forms around her, not unlike Jim's magical girl armor transformation.
No good deed goes unpunished - All the armor rushes to meet Claire. Do note that she is not wearing a helmet.
Sure, I meant well - Claire flips her hair. As she does so, a cape appears and unfurls from her shoulders
Well, look at what well-meant did - Close-up on Claire's face as cracks form.
All right, enough / So be it, so be it then - A crown forms in the air, and Claire catches it in her hand. The crown resembles a combination of Claire and Morgana's helmets, at least if you squint. When Claire puts it on her head, it turns her hair fully white.
Let all Oz be agreed / I'm wicked through and through A few shots of Claire walking through the cave. No longer does she look panicked or stressed. She looks regal, now.
Since I can not succeed / Fiyero, saving you - Jim dusts himself off to show the irony of the lyric. He looks at a picture of himself and Claire, and then he gazes into the distance.
I promise no good deed / Will I attempt to do again / Ever again - A throne forms on top of the skull, and Claire sits in it. The scene zooms out, and we can see purple and golden lights twinkling around her as her shadow looms larger and larger.
No good deed will I do again! - Outside of the cave, a storm begins to form. It resembles the Eternal Night.

Some Dragonic!Cyromancer Headcanons for you(especially for the Au where they can shapeshift a bit to hide the traits that intensify with age)
Cyromancers have very ornate horns, usually specific lineages had different horn designs, the head of the family having this biggest and ornate horns of the family. It can be seen in Kuai Liang/Bi-Han’s family where their horns are similar to that of ice dragons while Frost has ram like horns.
Have an appetite similar to snakes, usually eat large meals and are satisfied for several days before needing to eat again, if not do not eat these big meals they deal with a horrible hunger that can’t be satisfied unless they are constantly eating enough small meals.
Mostly carnivorous as well because of this and often eat big game, as there is very plant species that survived in the area of Outworld where they lived. They were great hunters and plant life was put towards medicine and for other means.
Heads of the family have the ‘elder’ dragon, the oldest dragon of a current lineage and the grandparent to every other dragon in the family. So there is one to two elder ice dragons per family. Each new litter of dragons are raised with the families own new generation of children to become bonded to.
Are adorned with scales that are usually in different hues and shades of blue, scales turn darker with age, their most vibrant in their prime, but turn a darker metallic tone by their old age, basically becoming armour. This can be seen in Kuai Liang and Frost, Frost having a much lighter and pastel shade of blue for her scales, but Kuai Liang having darker navy blue scales.
Have the equivalent of Sabretooth tiger tusks for canines, no one is sure what they were for specifically but it seems largely be scare/mating tactic
Cyromancers used to live up to 10000+ like Edenians but since settling in Earthrealm the average age of a cyromancer is like 150-200 depending
Polyamorous relationships were as common as monogamous couples
Often sleep curled up like cats or snakes in piles in family units. In the same create, they can and will adopt anyone into a family, does not matter what, you have a family now and they will love you.
ooooooooooo love these
When Frost was younger she filed her horns down (which was incredibly painful) to hide them before she learned how to shift them out. It wasn't until she joined the Lin Kuei and met Kuai Liang that she stopped.
Once Hanzo discovered their eating habits he started making veritable feasts for the two whenever they visited the Shirai Ryu, wanting to ensure that they were well fed and taken care of since neither was gonna do it themselves.
Frost loves venison, she had it for the first time with the Shirai Ryu and has been obsessed ever since.
Kuai Liang prefers duck, which he thinks was part of his childhood but he cannot fully remember
I do als hc that cryomancers had their own realm that was conquered by Edenia, leading to Sindel banishing them a few centuries later after which they ended up in Outworld. Eventually they fled Shao Kahn's cruelty, finally settling in Arctika which has been their home ever since
Cryomancers bonding with dragons was extremely common, leading to a sort of symbiotic relationship that both species are hardwired to crave. So Kuai Liang had no idea why as he got older he kept feeling like something was missing until he found the last Arctikan dragons and burst into tears, feeling like he had finally come home. Frost had the same reaction when she bonded with her dragon.
Kuai Liang's scales also cover more of his body and, if his focus is weak enough, they will reflexively show themselves in response to touch. Hanzo is very fond of teasing the scales out in bed.
The fangs are one of the few traits they can't shift out, causing both Kuai Liang and Frost to file them down to. amore manageable size until Hanzo convinces them to stop, horrified at how painful the process is. The fangs don't poke out of their mouths, but it is hard to get used to.
Despite their long lifespan, no cryomancer in the last three centuries has lived past the age of 50 save for Kuai Liang. This is due to the Lin Kuei's job as assassins.
Cryomancers never had any form of discrimination with regard to gender or sexual orientation and were always very confused by the fact that others did.
Frost and Kuai Liang have absolutely snake piled multiple times, usually after one of them has been injured, with Hanzo and Takeda occasionally joining them. the first time Frost brought Cassie to join in, Takeda teased her relentlessly over it until Hanzo nudged him to stop.
(I have so many hcs about the cryomancers and their history, lemme know if y'all wanna hear em)

IT'S THE HORNS AU
Descendants of Mar have a remarkable tendency to grow horns.
Every Ex-Havenite old enough to remember the family of Mar knows this. They come in all kinds of colors and shape, and even the horn growth pattern seems completely random. A parent often having entirely different looking horns to their child. Damas wondered if Mars' horns would be so different to his own. They hadn't grown in before he was taken. Most descendants didn't start budding until at least their teens.
Mar, the warrior who built Haven city, bore two thick, tusk-like horns that framed his jaws. Damas' mother had had blackened ram horns, meanwhile his sister had had a bright neon blue pair that grew out of her temples angled out like a second pair of ears. It had always made his older sister look rather intimidating. With the sharp cut of her eyeliner drawn in angular slashes around her eyes, he had watched no small number of men quail under that glare.
So yes, those that were old enough (or just brusque enough as native wastelanders tend to be to ask the king to his face why he had horns coming out of his noggin') knew exactly what having horns meant to their leader.
This is the reason why the arena grows hushed, when the newest recruit transforms into a pale frenzied thing with black little horns standing out clearly from the white hair.

Me @ Paradox au: you're as beautiful as the day I lost u
Person in charge of updating this fucking sucks ur schedules shit smh
King/Syn beloved belongs to @seasidemew
Sink or swim
"Our previous theories on the exact genders of the Genetic Terror has proved incorrect."
Leader is shown finding a quiet protected area the bushes shrubbery and tree branches making a perfect nest like area for her to squeeze and shuffle through past the leaves, she is shown leaving and returning with furs carefully crawling under the branches to not disturb or reveal her hidden area.
"In order to observe further we need more specialised equipment."
People talk inaudibly in the background as the cameraman shows off what looks like an ordinary leaf but is in fact a highly sophisticated type of camera powered by solar with little legs like a bug for movement. The view from the multiple leafcam is slightly green tinted, a little non invasive toy car like rover scoots revving softly near the nest and deposits the box with the leafbots in who disperse quickly subtly into place.
Leader is shown chasing the little toy car and knocking it over watching it spin in circles stuck on its side before it 'dies', she loses interest returning to her nest, inside viewed by multiple leafbot the leaves and foliage are spread and flattened intentionally as she builds up the other materials feathers from Great Tusk, Scream Tail fur, Slither wing fluff and wings any soft body part she wants and can fit into the nest.
The nest is completed during a time lapse of her nest building and half a day later she lays three small eggs, they are lumpy and slightly misshapen but she seems delighted her body resting protective over them like a brooding hen she incubates what is hers. During a time of her absence Dart enters the nest slowly looking around sniffing materials.
"We feared Dart would devour the eggs of the male he'd been trying to chase off," Dart lowers themselves and produces an egg of their own larger and more solid and smooth into the middle of the nest before leaving, "we were wrong."
Leader returns and pauses her head lowering as she nuzzles each egg faintly as though counting them pausing at the large healthy egg in the center of her misshapen ones she moves and returns to her brooding accepting the foreign egg as her own.
"If Leader knows this is Darts egg we aren't sure we can only assume she believes it her own egg or knows of its origins. The difference in egg shape size and overall visual health has led us to believe Leaders eggs may non be viable."
A timelapse shows Leader guarding her nest leaving occasionally to hunt but noticeably losing weight and leaving less and less frequently. There is also footage of Dart and Glider struggling to hunt as a duo without Leader to guide them and King searching around looking noticeably lost his snout to the ground sniffing deep inhales trying to get a scent before snorting in frustration and walking off heavily.
Finally, there is movement from one of the eggs, they wobble and flop to the side as Leader watches them intensely, the little leg that kicks out is dark red with dark grey striping, when they finally destroy their way out their egg it is clear they are not Leaders, a miniature adult genetic terror, proud horns and midhorn with a subtle bump implying a double point like King, their colors were deep and rich Darts red orange hues darkened further like dark jewels grey emphasising and contrasting.
Leader watches the little hatchling bounce around making infant screeches and chirps before scooping them close to her body nuzzling and grooming them.
"Her eggs haven't hatched," they've shrunken and even caved in on themselves, "Leader could carry a genetic defect, or it was an unlucky draw." She is witnessed removing the eggs one at a time from the nest throwing them to be scavenged elsewhere before bringing a small Roaring Moon limp in her jaw to give the hatchling their first meal.
She demonstrates biting the carcass and ripping away the flesh offering it to the chick dangling between her teeth, she feeds them tenderly and often but keeps them hidden in the nest.
"We don't know how long hatchling stay in the nest with their mothers, or if this is purely a behaviour displayed by Leader, and unfortunately this time we won't get answers."
Leader leaves the nest to go hunting, she's still underweight from everything as she goes to hunt, the hatchling is seen playing with and chasing a feather that's floating about the nest making little bark like noises vocalisations of play displaying what could be a play bow before diving after the feather.
Unfamiliar jaws lean into the nest, the hatchling pauses watching the unfamiliar mouth, cold and unfeeling they snap around the youngling. With a squeal the invader makes off with its prey from the unwatched nest. Leader is viewed botching her hunt before bolting back to her nest she vocalises squeaks and cries in her throat in sheer desperation sniffing around and whimpering at a trickle of blood. She looks lost without her hatchling.
"Leader hasn't left her nest since the incident, her pack members have been struggling and King seems unaware of the tragedy that has occurred."
The camera shows the start of a forest fire beginning to crackle and burn loudly.
"If Leader can't find the strength to flee the fire will surely kill her."
Multiple pokemon run and flee bellowing in natural fear of the fire ravaging their home, instincts drive them purely to survive, the leafbots are forced to flee with what battery they have left. It looks bleak, Dart and Glider stand at the forests edge crying and bellowing out throaty summoning calls echo into the darkening sky.
"But like a phoenix she is reborn from the ashes of despair!"
A camera catches glimpse of orange hues bolting through the forest, underweight and disorientated the Genetic Terror runs dodging and weaving around the flames and burning foliage around her course correcting as the flames race her dropping burning trees and setting shrubs alight. Her panic evident in her cries and roars. Leaping from the burning forest she crashes into the grassland outside quickly reached and greeted by her siblings, chirps and nuzzles reassure their bonds before they take one last glance at the flames disappearing into the thickening ash and smoke ridden land.
King bellows at the flames enraged by their insult as nature takes its course ravaging the land to regrow it, he storms off with heavy stomps to find a new area to sleep.
———
"It's been months since the fire, Leaders condition has not improved, while the fire forced her to move from her nest her appetite has not bounced back."
Dart and Glider gorge themselves on fat Slither Wing their wings ripped off to prevent mobility and escape as they excitedly chitter at the flesh they're enjoying. Leader lay nearby on her side, she's thin and looks exhausted breathing heavily for such an easy hunt the strain of hunger causing issue with her body and yet she won't eat feeling no hunger.
The other two have long since fallen asleep assuming their sibling will eat now they're asleep, she lay uninterested but awake head lifting slowly sensing the slowly approaching King. Her head lowers either in submission or being too exhausted. King stands and looks over her slowly he moves digging into the carcasses of the Slither Wing himself devouring large mouthfuls.
He pulls away flesh hanging in his teeth and comes to Leaders side leaning down and using his arms as support he holds the food out to her, he nudges his face to hers until she acknowledges him opening her mouth slowly to take the food he delicately hands it over. The process repeats, with King biting at her legs when she does not chew only holding the meat in her teeth, his own teeth never break flesh but encourages her enough to eat.
He continues until she seems genuinely unable to devour more slowly trudging off and returning with a wetter snout he opens his maw slowly to her and water he had collected falls onto her as he attempts to offer her water, she makes noises of discontent shaking her head at the water splashed on her with a warning hiss he doesn't respond to.
King holds his jaw more steady and after some working out carefully shares the water with her for her to drink, he seems content and licks the spare droplets from her muzzle and nuzzles her face in affection purring deeply to her before going to retrieve more water, though this time she stands to follow slowly. He stops every few paces waiting for her and rests besides her at the water as she tips her head low and drinks, his tail thumps the grass happily.
———
"King has been tailing the group for a few weeks now, he is recorded giving Leader special attention and even aiding in the hunts and refusing to let the others eat until himself and Leader have had their fill. Her health is improving, though it's clear she still thinks about the nest and lost hatchling, on some nights she is seen pacing around making calls for her baby as though she will get a response. King only seems to watch her when this happens, he does not seem aware of what she is calling for."
"She will recover and more behaviour can hopefully be recorded. The area which burned down has been regrowing at a rapid previously unseen rate and should be back to it's lush original state within a month or two. Area zero continues to fascinate us."

I had few ideas concerning Cyberbeast AU.
SO- there are different types of Cyberbeasts:
Bumblebee's kind is called Starborn; they can switch between being bipedal or quadrupedal, they're small with colorful feathers and long horns, they utilize electricity as their main power- in the wild they would harness lightning to protect and assert dominance. The Alpha-Builds are exceptionally huge for their normal size. They have little spots and swirls on their plating as biolights, the feathers also glow. They don't like pitch black spaces.
Shockwave is the type of 'beast called Switcher; they are very humanoid in build, mostly bipedal, they are grey-ish colors, lanky with thin tentacle-like biolight cables coming out from behind their audials. They have thin biolight stripes on their body. Their tail is more like a cord than an actual limb. They are loners, rarely sticking to other Cyberbeasts. They're swift and distinctively clever. Their abilities allow them to mimic other cybertronians' appearance, it's not specified how many appearances one Switcher can wear. So far Shockwave has 2, excluding his Beast Mode.
Megatron is a Sunshadow: Those Cyberbeasts are classified as Alpha on their own. They have leadership in their blood and will do anything to protect their clan. They are bipedal, have thick rough plating- their build is similar to Godzilla really, on top of that they tend to have massive horn and tusks. Their biolight pattern looks like cracks and is usually a bright color in contrast to their dark armor. Despite being so powerful, they need diret contact from the Allspark to enable their Beast Mode- that's why Megs is after it so badly.
Blitzwing is not a Cyberbeast, but because he has Cyberbeast blood it alters one of his faces- the black one. The blood he got was from a Cyberbeast classified as Voidwalker. They are black in color, sharp spikes along their back, with deadly claws and teeth. The biolights affect their insides therefore there is a glow to their maws. Their build makes them look like they are starving. They are fast and excellent hunters. They almost always stick in packs which makes them a difficult enemy- the largest one is always the leader aka the Alpha. Their one weakness is sensitivity to light. They don't like bright lights so they usually stay in caves and go out at lunar cycles. These and Starborns are considered natural enemies.
Next on the agenda- So i know there's Dinobots in TFA. The basic info i got is that Megs somehow brought them to cause chaos but Prowl befriended them and then they went to live on an island. There was also a moment where they were talking with the rest of the team i think.
I imagine the Dinobots were oddly polite toward Bumblebee and weren't going after him when Megs released them in the city. They sensed Bee is a Cyberbeast- therefore much stronger than all of them combined, they had respect for him even if they didn't say he was a Cyberbeast. Bee is also welcome on their island along with Prowl, the others are on tolerable level.
Another thing- Boot Camp. Longarm knew Bee was a Cyberbeast the moment he stood next to him- Cyberbeasts have shapened senses, smell included- every Cyberbeast, even it they haven't had their Awakening yet, has a certain smell that sets them apart from normal Cybertronians. He saw the little bot being tormented by Wasp and he helped him out- both cuz Cyberbeasts need to help each other to survive and cuz Wasp was a total jerk. Same with Megatron, he wasn't striking at Bee whenever they met- he was much stronger than the little one and he was there to witness the brief glow in his optics- his Awakening. That kind of applies to earth too- he didn't want to kill him but certainly make him not get in his way.
One of the "Bee is a Cyberbeast" reveal ideas was that Megs finally got his servos on an Allspark Shard and managed to transform into his Beast Mode- they weren't doing any damage to him, Bee ran away saying "To defeat a Cyberbeast, we need a Cyberbeast." They had no idea what he could mean but after a while he returned- he had 2 additional Shards with him- which was really stupid not to mention risky. Megs tried to get them, he ended up knocking a whole building on Bee, but not really- shortly after it fell, something bright launched itself at him, painful electricity jumping on Megs' armor while the thing tried to bite and scratch thru it. He managed to shake it off- the thing landed on a giant broken crane- there was a bright yellow beast with a plume brighter than the sun and 2 Shards embedded in each horn. Only then it clicked that this was Bee. All the Allspark energy concentrated in one place brewed up a storm- which Bee used to his advantage. He struck Megs with the biggest electric charge all of them ever seen, broke out the Shard that sat in Megs' horn and got him back in his Cybertronian form. The 'cons fled and surprisingly Bee went missing- all the Shards were laying in the middle of the battlefield. Only few days later Prowl caught Bee stealing oil at night from their supplies. Bee thought that his team wouldn't want him around anymore so he went to live on Dinobot Island. But it was all fine so Bee came back.
Lemme know what else you'd like to know.

(A first) Meetings between Monarchs
(More than one Monarch AU)
The Ghost Child and The Lord of the Lost
(Inspiration, Vs. Giratina.)
“This Pokémon God is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours, where common knowledge is distorted and strange. It was banished for its violence. It silently gazed upon the old world from the Distortion World. It appears in an ancient cemetery.”
Danny must have a hidden talent for annoying people because so far with every ghost he meets manages to start a fight with them.

(Who dares defile the Lord of the Lost's Realm?)
Though pissing off a giant winged(?) snake on sight is new for him, both on record and experience.
Tumblr media
He'd been flying around for what felt like hours in this oddly beautiful place that while looking similar to the Ghost Zone, was more connected with pathways and rivers that defied physics than just some floating islands. And wasn't just green.
He felt entranced while observing his surroundings with no sign of anything other living being or ghost before finally following his instincts to travel toward the direction where an aura of power radiated to him. He'd then found a large flat island that held some type of incredibly large ancient temple that looked thoroughly smashed to bits with the pillars crumbled to less than half mast, yet still had a floating ceiling off-center and some perfectly intact statues inside. The curious child that he is couldn’t resist getting a closer look, floating closer to one statue that looked almost like a dinosaur and was trice his height (sauropod-like). It stood on four sturdy legs, a long sturdy tail, and a long neck, with a crest on its head. It had horns and fangs that looked like armor rather than growing on it with some kind of fin/wing on its back, along with a sort of chest piece with a blue jewel that was the only color in this statue of gray stone.
When he looked at the writing underneath the statue, Danny noticed that a plate was knocked off and broken beneath the statue that seemed to hold Ancient Greek lettering, not that he could read it in its state. Carved into the base of the statue held large lettering Danny never saw before, though could still read with no training (thanks to ghost logic).
Tumblr media
Dialga, Sibling?
Danny turned around and checked another statue across from the Dialga Sibling statue, this one was bipedal and also looked like a dinosaur to Danny. (Theropod-like) It had two sturdy legs and a powerful tail, gauntlet-looking arms with round plates on its shoulders, a long slightly bent neck, and a head that also had tusks/fang armor and a pointed crest at its crown. Two wings/fins protrude from the statue's back that fanned its shoulders, and again the only color on it was the two pink circle gems on the round shoulder plates for each side.
Once again the plate underneath was removed, though this one was whole and set to the side, the lettering was unintelligible with being so rubbed away. Danny traced the carved words that replaced the plate, almost feeling something from them.
Tumblr media
Palkia, Sibling.
While these were interesting, the true interest was in the even larger statue to the back of this temple. It was another quadruped like the first, but not as stocky. It looked like a regal horse with its slim legs and neck, wavy-looking tail and mane(?) that sticks up away from its head between pointed ears/horns, and a cross mixed with a wheel on its round stomach. It doesn't have any jewels on it like the others, but it's lined with gold in between all the cracks in the statue. Like it was smashed to bits but then glued together with gold.
Danny ducked as suddenly the resembling a centaur statue exploded, but it didn't reach him as it only flew out a foot before halting, and slowly melding together again. Odd, but he didn't focus on it for his eye caught on the carved words on the podium.
Tumblr media
Original, Creator, Almighty.
The last word was carved messily with jagged lines, and Danny could feel something like anger from it - maybe grief.
Liar
Unsettled by the negative feeling of the unstable statue, which did explode again and reformed slowly, Danny backed away to the middle of the temple. Where was that feeling of power he was following earlier? There was only lingering emotions from the statues but he was right on top of the power...
He looked up.
And saw a mural etched into the floating ceiling above him, winding around where the stubs of pillars were, was a dark painting of a snake-like shadow with dull red eyes looking at him. Danny shuddered a little while huffing a small laugh, closing his eyes with a small smirk. A (half)ghost scared of a painting? How ironic.
Something splattered.
And Danny opened his eyes to see the red eyes start to peel away from the mural, starting to glow brightly as the abyss black dripped around him, oozing from six reaching tentacles that pierced the ground and caged him beneath the shadow as it lowered closer, and closer.
Danny stood there as the eyes appraised him, and a red mouth just as bright as the eyes split beneath the two, and a multitude of voices spilled out.

Tumblr media
The voice(s) was angry and accusing, and Danny had a feeling of deja vu when he opened his first door in the Ghost zone. He just trespassed on a very powerful being's territory and had no excuse other than curiosity and being lost. Still, Danny stood his ground, took a breath (to ground himself not to breathe), and tried to use manners that Jazz always said wouldn't hurt.
"Danny Phantom." He couldn't get any other words out to even attempt to be polite, the pressure around him was immense and seemed to close in on his throat, but he got his intent across.
And also couldn't hide some emotion.
'Lost, Guardian, searching for help, protector of the weak, fledgling, unwilling hero'
The shadow seemed to pause, its writhing body slowing from a lashing like a vengeful cat's tail to an interested hunter (why did that example seem worse?). The dripping stopped, and the inky blackness around him drew back to the tentacles stabbed into the ground. The mouth was still open wide, and the eyes still glowed, but the shadow was gaining solidity. The 'face' drew closer until Danny could nearly touch it, the mouth longer than his whole height as it seemed to mock him. No voice reached him, but Danny felt its intent and emotions like he can with other ghosts, and he could feel it being pushed directly at him purposefully.
'Suspicion, Curiosity, Verify'
A̵̰̣̘̘͍̭̖ͫr͔̯̪̗̭͔̻͚ͦ̈ͭ͞e̥̻̹̪̭̣ͭ̑̀ ̺̦ͦ̄ͧ͜y̱̮͈ͩ͘o̵̼̘̓ͯ͗u̢͎̖͙ͤ̊ ̳̤̤̪͖̐̄̇͞t̤̮̭͔̙̦̆͛̀r̫͓̤͎̣̩̘ͨͣͦ͠u͖͕͖͎͚̹͌͢ţ̖̞͗͌̒h̭͔̞͇̃̔͟f̅͊͌͏͙̬̘u̡̫̰̰̰̜̞ͥl̘̹̦͚̰̥̻͆̿ͫ͝?̴͓̬̦͒̽ͅͅ
(Are you truthful?)
It rumbled.
And Danny, tired after stressing over homework and test, fighting the fruitloop, flying for hours, and his core screaming danger danger danger;
Punched the shadow right between its eyes.
Uh-oh

"Why did you save me that night?" The question bore through his heart like a sharp dagger. The thoughts about that night hurt more than the phantom-pain of his broken horn. His back faced her, he was about to leave into the woods, like he always does if the guilt was to much to bear.
He tried to let his emotions deep in his heart. He wouldn't let them out. Not now. "Because you couldn’t save yourself." He answered coldly, his rough words rip through the cold air of the night. He knew that the words hurt her, even if she would try to play it off. He was a bloody asshole towards her. He knew it. He shouldn't be.
Tumblr media
The red-headed women behind him scoffed in a playful tone, yet he could pick up on the small disapointment in her voice. "Is that all? Just because you pity my weakness?" She shoke her head with a hurt chuckle, was she nothing to him? The leaves on the trees nearby rustle from the wind as she spoke. He could hear her tho, his ears would always hear her voice even through the roars of the dark lord right next to his ear.
No...That's not all..., the voice in his stubborn head urged to tell her the real reason. "I...Loved-....Love you. I love you, Barbara. I loved you then. I love you now. I will always love you." He confessed, yet the voices only grew louder, ...no, that's not the only reason why you disgusting scumbag. Tell her. Tell her the truth. His voices echoed in his mind.
"What...?" Finally, he turned towards her, his eyes wide as if he hadn’t planned to say it out loud. The salt and pepperd hair streak fell over his face (like it always did since he let it grow out). His face consorted into a soft, yet somehow...guilty...look. He took a step towards her, one of his hands moved to her cheek to cup her face, wich was still hurt but the light in her eyes couldn’t be mistaken. His clawed thumb stroke the scar she had gotten from the night when all of it started. God he hated himself. HE was that light. But why?! Why would her eyes light up for him.
"I couldn’t let you die. I would've never forgiven myself if...not after-..." his voice grew softer and he tried, with all of his willpower, to not break down. But he couldn't stop it. Not anymore. Everything was to much for him...the lack of sleep, food, water and the guilt...it was to much. He opened his mouth again but-
Her soft and warm lips suddenly brush over his own cold ones. His tusks tickle her skin as he pulled her against him. He should stop. He knows that he should stop her right now. He does not deserve this. It dosen't matter if he showed guilt or redeemed himself by giving her a grave, bones or this damn jacket that he was hiding in his bag (for now).
He pulled away. He pulled completely away from her touch. He stepped back, leaving as much space as he could. "Walt-"
"NO. Don’t say it. You don’t. And you won’t ever will...not after..." He steps back, shaking his head furiously as she tried to walk towards him. Suddenly she stopped, just looking at him with a confused and hurt look on her face. "I don’t care what-"
"I know. But this isn’t what I-" he growled, more to himself than to her. "It's my fault." He looked down at his hands. Tears form in his eyes but he stopped them from rolling down his face. He could still feel and smell the childs blood. And hers...hers too. "Walt, I don’t understand...? What are you talking about?" She sighed. "Look I don’t care about your past...I care about you now. And I...I love you too..."
"It's my fault that Jim died."
"W-what...?"
"I...I killed Jim."
Wasn’t that fun?
Well technically he didn’t kill Jim personally but-
He was ordered to make the plan. It pretty much went like the battle of the bridge just that they won. Strickler made that plan. (At least i think so but if not then he made it in this AU.) He also didn’t do anything as Jim was killed and Barbara dies believing that he didn’t care (in that moment) but he was actually frozen in shock. He loved that boy even if he wants to deny it.
This conversation obviously goes on and would be a bit more detailed if I write an actual fanfiction but this should work out, for now.
Well second non-"canon" Version.
Tumblr media
And with light-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaand closeup:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More Context:
Barbara was attacked while she came home. In this version she wanted to dress a little up for her boys theater role. Tho, she almost never made it out of the house.
The times are a bit differently from the canon ep. Jim was killed and Gunmar got free like an hour before the school theater. Wich is why Strickler could save her.
Gunmar saw his weakness in her and Strickler couldn’t let her die just like that. He dressed properly (bc he knew he would now be Gunmars enemy wich made him disgusted of his former clothes.) and saved her. She was subconsciousin the burning building and he brought her to a save place.
At least until it wasn’t save and he fought against both Gunmar and Bular to keep her save. He lost his horn only a few days after that night.

You can blame the anime Ushio and Tora for this idea.
Trollhunters but every time Jim uses the amulet, he slowly becomes a troll.
Let me explain. In the show Ushio and Tora, there's an weapon called the Beast Spear. A magical item that grants the wielder the power to slay evil spirits. Though there is a cost as the wielder will eventually become a beast, specifically Tora's species: Azafuse for 2015 reboot or Bakaneko in the original series.
Amulet of Daylight had always been made for Trollkind but it never gotten a human holder before. Well, at least until it chosen a certain Jim Lake Jr. Knowing who made the amulet and Merlin's skewed viewpoint about how things should be handled... I won't be surprised if he added such a function.
Now it starts as a slow process that wouldn't be noticable at first. His skin begins to feel dry, grows a bit hairier, teeth looking a bit sharp. Subtle changes as the deeper the transformation, the harder it is to reverse it. Next an odd coloration to his skin akin to bruising in some spots alongside minor headaches and toothaches.
The signs something is wrong will become noticeable to Jim when he finds dry blood on his pillow from the small horn nubs and some teeth fall out to be replaced with troll tusks later. His skin drying out until it flakes off to reveal soft clay skin like a scorpion molting. Further changes are more painful though mainly cause it involves his insides.
Jim's skin hardening to stone, his ring finger merging with the middle, horn growth, and two toes on both feet merge together aren't gonna be as painful as this. If I were to describe the pain, I say it's like being molded, stretched then dried in fire similar to clay. Albeit the clay is human bones and organs.
Things only get worse as certain items such as the Gritshaka, Gravesand and the Triumbric Stones accelerates the process. Yup! Jim's Eclipse armor practically triples the transformation speed but also set his new troll species: Gumm-Gumm. Specifically one just like Gunmar albeit more like an opposite. If the Gumm Gumm King is Yin, then Jim shall be his Yang.
He purifies those converted by Gunmar, undo Creeper's Sun poison and potentially so much more. A living manifestation of what a Heartstone is meant to do than Jim's twisted opposite. To heal instead of rot.
Jim's transformation would fully be completed during his stay in the Darklands as Gunmar's Decimaar Blade will speed up the process as well. He got his wish in a way. Jim replaced his son species wise but he will never control the Trollhunter.
Reunions for Team Trollhunters and the Lake Family is gonna be very awkward. Everyone, especially Jim, needs a shit ton of hugs. Someone needs to let Barbara whale on Merlin with a broom.
I just realized an Ushio and Tora AU would definitely fit with Draal as Tora while Jim takes Ushio's role. Although Jimbo will need a curse item like a prototype or twisted amulet replica and accidentally turns Draal into a Demon Troll using it. It takes place at least a year before Trollhunters canon mainly for shenanigans. Kanijar completely unaware of his son getting into trouble and then finding out in the most insane way sounds hilarious to me.
Bular fits too as Tora was quite antagonistic at the beginning. He also ate humans until he was imprisoned. Bular had been kidnapped by humans before in canon so it would be plausible to have him sealed up in someone's basement by an object like a long sword.
That's my opinion anyway.
Edit: You guys can also have a shot at this! I crave chaos and I love to see what people can come up with.

Tumblr media
realized at random I've never seen a queen orca au even be considered. which isn't smthng I searched for either but it sounds like it'd be popular enough I'd come across it anyways. so that. will be under the cut
[ID: a reference drawing of orca from wof, a desaturated green dragon with red accents and a scar across her chest. she has sparse pearl jewelry and a glove with modified walrus tusks for claws. a long narwhal horn is affixed to her tail]
OK first. we need to ignore things. instead of the queen challenge being. random murder. it's a much more formal event, to discourage fowl play. and also not totally necessary. in the sea kingdom, there's a massive above ground auditorium for the fight and there has to be certain amount of the seawing population in attendance or else it's invalid. it won't be a murder charge, but the challenger doesn't get to be queen. without a formal challenge with a witness, it's just murder. orca doesn't do that she kills her mom. not as soon as she's seven, that'd be suspicious. some time after tsunami's egg is stolen. I'm not sure what to do w anemone here honestly. either make her closer to tsunamis age, or make her orcas like. niece. either way she's still an animus so orca decides to keep her around. her own powers are still secret and she's not going to ever have a surviving heir, so an animus who could use magic freely is useful until anemone has an animus child. on a very short leash. plot happens and the DoD get to the sea kingdom as run by orca and blister. orca has to act all pleased abt her long lost sister but ultimately she's only another threat who continues to narrowly avoid assassination via whirlpool. tsunami meanwhile is like. there is a political crisis going on here. bc orcas eggs are still all being crushed by her statue in secret, her mom was mysteriously murdered by an assassin never caught, and orca is always under "threat". tsunami and anemone poke around a lot until uncovering the truth and eventually are forced to kill orca and destroy the statue. tsunami can't abandon the DoD, and anemone is too young, so the sea kingdom is left to blister and whirlpool for the time being

An interesting AU Idea
So I decided out of the blue to come up with a crossover idea. Basically it takes place in the setting of Steven Universe but of course there's something else, there's large Kaiju roaming around earth as these gems are basically corrupted but still have their "sanity" to think and basically communicate with other gems. Godzilla, the main Kaiju of this, is Black Diamond aka. The Missing diamond. He got corrupted by the diamond blast but he managed to have his mind still in tact. I'll elaborate further with additional drawings of this AU but I thought it would be kind of cool. The design of Godzilla is mostly based off of Minus One Godzilla with horns and tusks like Corrupted Steven. The place holder title for the au will be called Steven Universe: Titanic Corruptions

I’m making an au where my OC is the child of a kitsune, but the Kitsune is crossed with a dragon. I’m not sure how to draw baby animals, so I’ll send this ask and wait for you to respond with your expertise.
whoops, meant to get to this sooner, sorry!
Tumblr media
(image description: three photos of baby animals, and a drawing of a baby dragon, with the title, "how to: baby animals". The photos show a baby cow, baby elephant, and baby fox. The baby dragon is green and a little scrawny, with no large horns except one little bump on the nose. end description.)
Tumblr media
(image description: a drawing of a wild boar adult next to a wild boar baby. The adult looks large and scruffy with dark brown-grey fur, while the baby looks small and smooth with striped brown and black fur. Below the images are some notes I will go over in more detail below. end description)
There are a few major differences between an adult animal and a baby animal, which also apply to humans. Adults have fully developed muscles, bones, and fat deposits. This means that the distribution of muscle and fat are different than how they'll look on a baby. There will also be more "wear and tear" on an adult's body, like more wrinkled skin, scruffy fur, worn down claws, etc.
Babies have more fat and less muscle, and often have a shorter torso with more gangly limbs. Like if you look at a baby horse and an adult horse, the baby is all legs with a very small body and the adult has a much bigger, longer body with more proportional legs. Babies also generally have much softer skin/hair/fur, and their heads are a smoother shape, often looking more round and short compared to that of an adult.
Also, it's important to look at things like coloration and extra structures on the body. As in the boar example I gave, it's common for baby animals to have specific color patterns to help them hide from predators. The baby boar also has no tusks while the adult boar has very visible tusks. This goes for other things like courting display feathers on some male birds, the antlers on deer, and the very large spines and dewlaps on iguanas. So a baby dragon might not have large and obvious spikes and horns, for example.
And to cover the base of humanoid fantasy people, I have my own example of an adult bird person from my own world building next to a baby of their species.
Tumblr media
(image description: a digital illustration of humanoid bird people. On the left, an adult male wearing purple and gold. His feathers are vibrantly colored; green, blue, black, and orange. He also has two long bright blue tail feathers in a paddle-like shape.
On the right, a baby laying on the ground in a loaf position with the hands and feet tucked. Their feathers are dull and dark in color, very scruffy and sparse. Their body is pudgy and their wings are very small. They also have bulging eyes that are tightly closed, with the skin of the eyelids looking darker than the rest of their skin. end description.)
The goal with this one was to make the baby bird person look as scrungly as an actual baby bird, because baby birds are just the ugliest little things and i love them.
So I hope this helps! It is definitely a good idea to look for photos of the real life baby animals that match your creation. Since you're doing a kitsune/dragon hybrid it would be useful to look at baby foxes and other canines, as well as various reptiles. Have fun!
