@trulymightypotato I was your gifter for the @mcytblraufest exchange this gave me so much trouble I just hope at least one of these pieces are enough for what you hoped.
There was a lot of characters proposed to work with and a lot of ideas I had. I got so caught up in the au portion of the event I didn’t realize for a while that by definition the dad!Sparkles by itself is enough canon divergence/crossover to absolutely caught as minor au at least asdfghjkl.
So for that reason I have have a couple ideas, both different aus with dad!Sparkles as the core concept :) I’ll leave them below the cut since its a lot of text PLUS bonus concept au and sketch I didn’t use or finish ;)
First is ender dragon Captain and his kid Tubbo, they travel a lot and end up moving around for various reasons. But they’re together and have a good time. The ambience oft he first piece is a kinda creepy forest but neither of them mind because they’re travelling together and having a good time.
The next two aus feature the Mianite universe, since you listed it and i was so genuinely excited to work with it I completely blindsided a lot of other stuff I could have utilized (sorry, i hope the Mianite stuff was a nice call tho I saw you liked some oft he crossover art others have done :) )
So second pic is new father Sparkles in the armour of Ianite introducing his son to his goddess. Ianite’s happy to see her champion happy and to meet Tubbo.
Third is of a slightly older Tubbo hanging out with the Mianite champions Lots of nostalgia for me to get to draw the crew. Don’t mind the style shift i didn’t want to line a third piece I was losing steam story. SO lineless it is!
I had more ideas. I wanted to do some within the dsmp canon universe more and one within the origins universe but I as so burnt out after these 3 pieces I decided to just call my loss and submit what I have.
Below though is a 5th, most complicated idea I had started with that I couldn’t follow through with because of complexity. It has more world building and ideas. I am not a writer sadly though, not enough for a gift exchange so it is not a coherent story, just an idea and an unfinished sketch.
The idea for the au was a weird mix of origin smp and Mianite lore, wherein the Captain is the prince of the starborne. The starborn as a people are created by Ianite who watches over their nation. The royal family are direct descendants of Ianite. There is also unofficial legend that each heir of the kingdom undergoes some manner of divine mission or journey to become who they are for succession. Fore example Spark, Ianite’s husband, was the founder of the nation. That was his journey. Next his daughter Martha who cured her kingdom of a blight/plague called The Taint. Jordan as her son in this retrieved The Heart of Ianite after it was stolen by Dianite’s followers.
What I wanted to do if I had the time and energy was a mini comic explaining this lore, Sparkles explaining that as Tubbo is older he would likely soon see himself on his own journey. The idea was that this journey would consist of Ianitee!Tubbo meeting Dianitee!Tommy and Mianitee! Ranboo and travelling with them to solve a conspiracy between the three peoples. Along the way they would question their own faiths and would all switch their paths, with Ranboo feeling connected with Ianite, Tommy finding himself surprised by how comforted he is by Mianite, and Tubbo finding freedom in Dianite.
There was some probably disconnected thoughts such as tying Watcher lore into the Ianitee court, with Grian and Pearl as Ianitee’s under that idea, with Grian defecting to Dianite at some point but it had no place in this plot just stray ideas.
Anyways if you read this far I just hope something in here was appealing and lived up to what you wanted from this exchange :] Have a good day!
I love how ur anons calls Syndicate and CaptainSparklez by their usernames but called Omgitsfirefox and Iijerichoii by their real names instead 😭 I don't think anyone knows waglington real name tho
thats how people used to talk about them in the mianite days tho! syndicate or tom, captainsparklez, tucker, and sonja (plus tuckers username is just all sorts of weird so no one was gonna go through the effort to type all that out). also that was how they referred to each other in the lore so i think thats how the naming conventions got started. but yeah idk who tf waglington was lmao
It’s the five year anniversary of Mianite ending, which was June 29, 2015. While this could be a sad day, myself and @syndianites had an idea.
Mianite day!
This series means a lot to myself and many other content creators, so sharing memories, hyping up creators, and rewatching old episodes sounds like the perfect ways to celebrate.
For me, I’m going to be taking fic requests (something I’ve never done!), reblogging work from my fellow creators, listing Mianite fics that I love with my whole heart, and potentially other things.
But keep that day in mind— June 29, 2020! A day to celebrate, a day to create, a day to remember.
still out here wanting an au where tucker is actually ten because of the ash ketchum skin
That’d be so fuckin’ funny tho. Honestly I might pick that up. I already have a shit load of prompts, might as well take another lol
((And all I can imagine is art of Tucker pointing dramatically into the distance saying “Get ‘em Firefox!” while Sonja stares off into the distance like ‘Why am I entertaining this 10 year old.’))
Synopsis: As Jordan's walking home, he suddenly gets thrust into a new reality. Adventure then ensues.
Sparklez walked on the dirt path through the meadow. The wind blew his messy hair and rippled threw his disheveled button up. He adjusted the shirt and ran his fingers through his hair. He looked up at the sky and noticed thick rain clouds beginning to form. “I better get home quickly, don’t want the rain to dump on me” he said out loud and began to pick up his pace.
As he was walking, he wondered what flowers he should get Ianite. Their anniversary was today, he even got off work early for the occasion. While succumbed in his thoughts, the man didn’t realize the wind began to pick up and the grass in the meadow was leaning over, touching the ground; he did notice however, when his red sunglasses were blown off of his face, having been loosely sitting on the brim of his nose. “God dammit, I’ve had those for years” he yelled to the sky. He searched in the green grass, hoping to find the glasses, but couldn’t find them anywhere. He found it bizarre that even though they were bright red, he couldn’t see them in the green grass.
As he was searching, a funnel cloud began to form in the sky. Being too occupied to notice, he continued looking for his glasses. The wind began roaring, becoming hard to hear anything. You no longer heard the moo’s of cows, just the wind. The suited man looked up and saw a tornado about 500 feet in front of him.
He began running in the opposite direction, no longer caring about the glasses. He just ran towards his house, wanting to make sure she was okay, his wife was okay. She may have been a goddess, but Jordan “Sparklez” Maron, didn’t care, he still loved her, he still worried for her. As his worrying increased, his heart hammered into his chest. Within seconds he couldn’t tell what was the heartbeat in his ears or the wind around him. He ran for his life, he ran faster than he ever had,1 but it was of no use.
After a few seconds of running the tornado caught up to the man, it picked him up and threw him around and around. As he was picked up he tried to move in and out of clumps of dirt and grass and animals, but he didn’t see a cow, dirt obstructing his view. When he did see it, he was too late. The two collided rendering him unconscious.
Soon after, the tornado dissipated, leaving nothing behind but a pair of broken red sunglasses, and on the side “sparklez.”
Ianite
The goddess paced around the small cottage in the end. It had been hours since her husband should’ve been home. She didn’t know what happened to him. He wasn’t answering his cell communicator. The Divisor even said he left work early. “Where is he” she yelled in frustration. He had never done this before, she so desperately wanted him to be okay.
She hoped to see him soon, but little did she know that it would be a very long time before that happened, and when she, she would be different.
I’m currently doing my annual Mianite re-watch, if anyone is also doing so or is somehow just now stumbling upon it, PM me! I need someone to share my love of this dying series with!
Y’all, I was gonna do a special “draw the squad” meme for when we hit 100 followers, but I looked just now and we jumped from 98 to 101 while I wasn’t looking :0
If you guys have any “draw the squad” memes you wanna see, let me know! I’ll do my best to make some :D
I’m working of re-designing the characters of The 3 Kingdoms (t3k) into more of their own characters cuz i feel like the story is completely different and I want it to stand alone but also take the big concepts and twist them in a different way
