The godling/little god Dream & Dream XD is literally insane. This is so good. I cannoe put into words just how much I love it. The worldbuilding with the gods?? The tragicness, the unfairness, the sheer greed of those gods who want to live forever? This slaps so damn hard. And I know you might not want to say it yet, but I am SO curious how dream's cough cough actual godling status will work with his overall goal in the dsmp and the prison arc. Just, like, great job sif your hands are blessed

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I like having complex and fucked up gods, and it's a fun AU to build.

I think I've talked about it a little bit, but c!Dream up until the end of the AU both is and isn't a godling. The mask keeps his status almost entirely repressed cutting him off from both his hybrid side and his god side. Only a little bit can leak through.

This fucks him up over time for two reasons, first, exposure to XD. While XD does try to minimize his impact on c!Dream, the amount of time c!Dream spends exposed to a god does add up. It's part of why XD has relatively minimal contact with c!Dream during the SMP, since he's doing everything he can to avoid that poisoning going too far.

More importantly for the events of the SMP, at that point, c!Dream has killed his first god. He's growing up and his power is growing and starting to hit the limits of what the mask can contain. But the mask is still keeping him almost entirely human. And thus not immune to constant exposure to a god.

As such, he's effectively poisoning himself and the people around him to various degrees. He's got it the worst, but other people are affected to. So it's kind of like in medieval times where you just had an entire village of people tripping on ergot accidentally. Not quite as extreme, and certain people have more resistance, but a similar sort of vibe.

A big impact for his growing power is that he's also starting to get worshipers once the SMP gets founded. Full end gods don't really require worship and draw their power directly from the universe itself. But End Gods can still draw power from worship, and end godlings will often draw power from worship to complete their worship.

This extra power does come in handy once he's ready to kill that second god, but prior to that the extra boosts are significantly more dangerous and just make him worse. c!Sam, c!Punz, c!Wilbur, and to some extent c!Tommy are all guilty of a level of deification. It's mostly c!Wilbur's fault though because when he makes c!Dream the Big Bad Guy he starts that process of deification/dehumanization that helps push c!Dream over the edge.

Also while all of this is happening, XD is just kinda there biting his lip trying to figure out where he needs to intervene. It probably should've been awhile ago, but like, it works in the end, so whose the fool now?

Eldritch Iskall please!

Hermitcraft Fanon Swap

Thanks a lot for the prompt! I gotta admit I only have passing knowledge of eldritch horror but an attempt was made.

Iskall and the Vault

AO3

Iskall’s friends liked to comment on how nice it was of him to help them in the vaults, and he put on the head and cracks an IskallMAN joke and that was that usually. It made sense for him to know how it worked. This was his game after all.

What only Stress knew was that Iskall was the Vault. Every time their friends ran a Vault, they were entering part of him.

That was why maps didn’t work in the Vaults. To see him; to see all of him, would only lead to madness.

Stress knew, but Stress wasn’t exactly what anyone would call normal either.

And if the Vault seemed a little too alive sometimes none of the others commented on it. Iskall loved all of them.

What do we think about. A jonelias sharing pain au. "I know i'm putting you through the horrors for my own selfish goals but let me take some of your pain. No, I don't have a reason to do this. Let me help you"

i think yes. i'm a big fan of mind link (or physical in this case) jonelias scenarios.

i think in this one sharing the pain might be a way for jonah to feel more like a part of the ritual. yes, he orchestrated it, but jon got a more active role. elias shares his pain to mark both of them with it, to tie them together. they will suffer together and they will get their reward together too.

you can go further and make their connection more straightforward. for every scar jon earns, elias gets a matching one. i would say on his original body, but by this point there's probably not a lot of... skin left.

For the ask game, i ask for the word: interesting

Thanks for the ask! :D Interestingly enough, "interest" only appeared in one of my active wips, with all other examples either appearing in already posted chapters of a wip (making those chapters not technically wips anymore) or inactive wips.

“Do I get to choose a name?” Mumbo asked. “You’re Harpocrates,” Techno stated proudly. At Mumbo’s confused look, he faltered slightly, much to the amusement of Chat. “Er, if you’re alright with it, that is.” “No, it’s all good! I was just thinking about going by my middle name, but a name that’s completely disconnected from my identity is probably better for a secret organization, now that I think of it…?” Niki looked over in interest. “What’s your middle name, if you don’t mind me asking?” Mumbo puffed out his chest. “Killsalot!”

I am obsessed with jonelias you don't even understand. Aim holding them so gently. Anyways what "era" is your favorite and why? Pre canon, s1/2, s3, or after? Personally i just love the pre canon, 1/2/3 stuff, just the office shenanigans part of it is SO GOOD

ooooh so hard to say tbh. my obsession switches a lot

i really enjoy the s3 dynamics, thats pretty classic. where jon is aware of elias's villainy and they have an antagonistic relationship thats really fun

im also a big fan of the s5 dynamic even tho im not a fan of the actual season itself. i just make my own version of the apocalypse and enjoy that

Do you have. Sorry hello i am a polite girl i swear. Do you have jonahbas thoughts to share with the class ❓❓

my god i haven't thought about them in years... but yes, i do have them.

jonahbas strikes me as a first young love that was never allowed to separate. the chaste kiss between two children that was frowned upon, and then as they both grew in a world that could easily have both of them ruined for that fact, they were forced to stay close lest that knowledge risk being unveiled. beholding fear and all <3

in his letter to jonah, barnabas is the only one of magnus' letters that has a certain degree of entitlement. all the others- albrecht, jonathan, robert, sampson- either treat him as an equal colleague or the soured relations of an equal they can no longer stand. but barnabas? he expects jonah to save him. he demands it. that displays a level of intimacy one wouldn't expect from our mr magnus. it strikes me as them having something older and deeper. and, in all likelihood, something that should've ended a long time ago.

put yourself in jonah's shoes. you have this person whom you truly care for. you care for him enough to keep his bones by your side for 200 years after his death. but as you look into the world of fears and, even before that, traipse through the dog-eat-dog world of 1800s noblemen and their petty god fearing disputes, you realize that he Knows things about you. things that could lose you everything you've built up so far. things that could get you killed. and you do still love him, of course, you have always loved him. but he's a liability. a danger.

it's much easier to observe rather than make the commitment yourself, no?

Emberfish!!! Au!!!! It's so good!

Theres something FISHY going up in this au....... Ahah

Anyways i don't really know what to ask i just want to say i love it nd i appreciate you. Its great

Oh yeah, so here are some questions: how social merpeople are is based on dolphins, right? Are the pods always only 3 people? Do you think merpeople can survive alone or in a sort of close knit "village" with others? They should be able to hunt, right?

Thank you!! There is something fishy going on, i'm glad you've noticed ;)

How social mer are is actually based off of both dolphins and humans. I've found that people underestimate just how social we are as human beings, and how, if you are put in an environment that requires you to work together with a group to survive, natural selection tends to hone those more social instincts. And on top of that, being alone in the vast ocean where sometimes it's hard to tell up from down and day from night can drive a mer mad if they don't have SOMEONE to talk to. Mer find it a lot easier to end up in situations that are sensory depriving. And for a species hardwired to be on alert at all times? That sort of thing takes it's toll.

It's also a little bit taken from space aus and "humans are weird/earth is space australia" stuff I've seen and really enjoyed over the years. Especially with Martyn's thoughts on 'mer will pod-bond with anything that gives them enough attention.' it's essentially the mer version of pack-bonding for humans, and how we tend to build relationships with any sort of animals we can feasibly keep as a pet, and even inanimate objects.

A pods of around 7-15 mer is considered the normal size for a pod, and is typically the size for a stable 'family' pod. A family pod is usually from 1-3 mating pairs, along with their children, and perhaps a few other friends or younger mer from other pods who are courting or become friends with their children.

The minimum for a pod is 3, because otherwise that's just a pair, and from 3-7 mer is considered a small pod. I've gone over this before in other asks, but as mer grow up, it's not uncommon for teenage mer to leave their family pods (sometimes alone, if there's another pod they can join right away, but more typically in pairs or trios of siblings or pod-mates) and strike out on their own. These younger mer will often form friend based pods (like Grian's pod or like the NHO pod that Etho and Bdubs belonged to before they left and met Tango), which are pretty unstable until the mer fully mature, and often end up becoming new family pods as romance blooms, yadda yadda yadda birds and the bees.

Not always, though, as we see with both the 'bet' pod (Bdubs, Etho, nd Tango) and Grian's pod. Etho, Bdubs, and Tango could join up with another pod if they wanted to, they just don't.

Anything bigger than roughly 15 members is considered a 'large' pod. There tend to be fewer of these, and they tend to be more migratory because of their larger draw on the resources around them. Large pods also tend to be more unstable as different smaller pods can join or leave depending on the time of year and the specific migratory path, and teen mer who have left the family pod where they grew up might join or leave whenever. They due tend to be great sources of gossip and general knowledge and skills, though, due to the many members and because they have more hands to do the work they can get more specialized in what they know. They also tend to have more well established migration paths, and normally there's a more stable extended family in a large pod that acts as the 'backbone' and leadership, so to speak. They tend to function like more like close knit little villages, rather than small family groups.

The hivemind pod (lead by Doc) is a very unique outlier in this, being completely stationary, and having roughly 50 members at any given time. They're basically trying to create mer agriculture, and are already a major trading center.

While lone mer can survive on their own, especially as adults, it is very very hard and very very stressful. Most don't do it unless they have to, because of how dangerous the ocean can be. Hunting in general is difficult, and mer need meat in their diets to support their high metabolisms. They can survive off of foraging alone, but clams and other shellfish can be hard to get into without the right strength or tools, and mer can't survive off of only plants in the long run.

When one wrong move can net you an injury that might impede your ability to hunt, and you're alone? That mer is basically shark chum unless they are either very lucky or can find someone to help. A mer alone lives on a kinfe's edge. Most simply choose the safer option to be in a pod.

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

Okay so I don't really use jokes or puns in fics? Not that I'm aware of anyway? Not on purpose, lol.

HOWEVER.

I will occasionally hide song lyrics in my fics.

And recently I put in a reference to Katie Melua's Nine Million Bicycles in a fic ("it's a fact, it's a thing she can't deny") and no-one picked up on it and that made me a little sad.

PLEASE do write me some thoughts about suprisingly caring (original?) loser uncle elias

ohhhhhh oh i'm excited to finally write this all out in one spot. also a bit embarassed because i'm cringe and pulled all of this outta my ass xD

i didn't mean to write so much but it became kind of A Lot. i even decided halfway through that i needed to use proper capitalization because i can't look at so many bullet points in lowercase fdhsfkjdkh PLEASE bear with me:

First off, yes! It's just original Elias. I desperately need to see Jonah again, but for as far as I've thought about this, Elias isn't involved in any spooky situations here. No eyes getting gouged out, no Magnus Institute, no dead college roommate. (I could get extra silly and say they're happily married xD)

I do think he's still a bit haunted by his father, in the sort of way that it's impossible to shake off the damage done by a parent entirely, even when they died half a lifetime ago and you're already in your mid-to-late-50s.

But for the most part, he's kinda moved past it. He got over his "I'm a Bouchard, I'm destined to be More" phase somewhere in his 30s, and has learned to find meaning in little things and be content with where he is in life. (I'm also running with the idea that this probably meant he never got a letter from the Institute, so he spent a few years miserably trying to figure out why nothing seemed good enough for him before forcing himself to get over it).

Doesn't really have any contact with most of his relatives, but it's nothing that bothers him at this point.

Him being Gwen's uncle would obviously mean one of Gwen's parents is his sibling, which I think is reasonably possible. (I'd assume it's not her mother, because Gwen's last name is also Bouchard). I could see him having an overachiever younger brother that made him look even worse by comparison.

Elias' father had probably basically disowned him by the time he died, so Elias wasn't left with as much.

Probably met Gwen at some family function when she was still very young, before he committed to distancing himself from the rest of his family. He still showed up, but no one really had any reason to talk to the guy whose father would openly go ON about his son being such a disappointment. And Elias certainly didn't feel like striking up a conversation with most of the people there unless he had to.

Gwen is just as quiet and polite as everyone else there, but she's still just a kid. Elias sees her getting a slap on the wrist after reaching for a second mini-dessert to go with the rest of her tea, so he wraps one in a napkin and gives it to her later while her parents aren't looking.

He's just tired and lost at this point, and it's more of a chore than ever keeping up appearances; so when Gwen looks up at him with big, happy eyes and a soft "thank you," well-- he feels like he can relax his shoulders a bit, and finds himself smiling down at her.

For a while, that's Gwen's nice uncle who she likes seeing at gatherings :] But she quickly starts to settle into a more serious demeanor as she gets older, and at the same time, Elias doesn't really show up to anything anymore.

Something something something, she's probably in her teens/early adulthood maybe when she actually bumps into him again somewhere. She's overheard plenty of negative things about him over the years from her father, but,,,,,, well, she's still got a soft spot for the guy, even if she maybe agrees that Elias could be doing more for himself. And when he smiles at her, it's not as restrained as the one she remembers from when she was a kid.

He's certainly a bit of a goofball now. Nearly two decades of unlearning toxic mentalities and finding something to be passionate about in life kinda does that to some people. He's actually kind of annoying, but she tolerates it because that's just her Uncle Elias :/

I think he'd be mostly chill, but pretty upbeat. Has a habit of yapping. Maybe a little sassy? I kinda feel like the way he speaks would be similar to how he sounded when it was Jonah, but more lighthearted/informal.

Gwen doesn't give him many details about work and such, but it quickly becomes apparent to him that she's definitely not happy with where she is, despite how much she'll calmly insists she likes her job.

He's under the impression she's only sticking around at that job because she's sunk several years into it already, and it'd look good to her family if she could eventually move up into an actual respectable position. (Although I'm personally assuming that her motivations are separate from any of that specifically, but who knows!)

Elias trusts she knows what she's doing, but maybe he's a bit worried because he's seeing himself in her, a little bit. He doesn't want her to do anything rash (y'know. like blackmailing her boss for a promotion. or something.) the longer she's stuck at the bottom without a way of climbing higher.

At this point I feel like all of this is too good for him. He needs to be put into a Situation. But I also really enjoy a character who's already been through the horrors of being in their 20s/30s and has actually managed to find a way to be okay with life 😭 If this were an actual workplace comedy, he'd just pop in from time to time to be silly and irritate Gwen a bit. He's probably get along with Alice.

okay other random details. He doesn't smoke weed or anything as much as he used to, but still does occasionally just for funsies. He's recently gotten into vaping.

Jonah Magnus wears fancy three-piece suits ONLY, you CANNOT change my mind. Elias would dress far more casually, however :3 Maybe not so far as a hoodie and sweatpants (at least not when he goes out), but more like a nice, comfy sweater and an old coat and pants that don't really match anything but he still looks mostly alright. I think it'd be funny if he wore, like, Crocs, though. Never really styles his hair.

So Melanie's original personality is curious, always wanting to push for more information, confrontational, right?

Under the slaughter, it's not really that anymore. But is it really worse? Would she not prefer having it this way, rage and lashing out and adrenaline, this way she doesn't have to face the parts of her that are genuinely suited to the Beholding, to that Eye that's keeping her chained and hostage?

Wait so this made me think, what does "the final sif" even mean?? I'm scraping my brain for ideas and i can't figure it out. Or is it just your name?

Sif is my handle b/c when I was a baby gay I went to see Thor in theaters and had a huge fucking crush on Lady Sif.

I used to go by "Lady Sif" a lot, mostly because the username Sif was already taken. However, when I was thinking about changing up my URL, I wanted something that was more unique and specific to me. Lady Sif was also often hard to get as a username. So I ended up switching to "The Final Sif" in reference to "The Final Pam" from monster factory and because I just liked how that sounded. Much easier to get my username places, while still keeping my name as Sif!

Not sure what post you’re referencing, sorry! You can link me to it if you want and I’ll read it!

It’s more like a 101 Dalmatians AU if anything tbh. Grian and Scar are just good friends and only end up together from co-parenting shenanigans (they eventually get locked in a closet by a bunch of devious kittens who are scary smart and sense the pining. Jellie and her kittens might be magical or smthn haven’t fully decided on that yet but they Know something is going on)

About the concept art you posted for that overwatch esque scifi au... There, I tried to guess who was who? It was very fun

So here are my guesses:

Impulse, grian, scar (or ren?), Martyn, Then ren/jimmy/bigb/etho?, Then skizzle was my first thought but might also be bdubs or joel? And finally tango

Awesome figure drawing anyways, they really look all different and each have a different mood. It's great!! These poses severely fuck. I fricking love this style of clothing. Also have you done a more finished version of these designs/this AU? No pressure, I just really don't want to miss it if you're posted it already xD

You got some of them right!!! It's Martyn, Joel, Ren, Skizz, Tango, Bdubs, then Etho :]

Thank you so much!! No I don't have more finished versions, but the designs are featured in these posts :D
