Coraline AU talk
Fighty here. I’d do this through the askbox on anon but it’d be to long and to much of a chance of the askbox eating the asks and I didn’t want to spam! (^-^;;)
Ok so like here’s what I thought for this AU. (note i’m going off the 2009 animated movie since the graphic novel is way different)
So obviously MC is Coraline.
Because of the two Asra’s I thought they could be mother and other mother because think of it this way. Real Asra is gone often on long trip leaving MC alone. They stumble upon the other world which has the twin Asra who is more attentive and always there for MC and never takes long trips. (Alternately Lucio could work as mother and other mother except the mean he gets the more goat looking he becomes much like how ther other mother became more grotesque the eviler she became).
I figured Faust could play the role of the talking cat buuuuut I actually think Malak, Julian’s crow, would work better strictly because if my memory serves me correctly the cat helps out Coraline and gives her warnings and advice which seems to fit Malak more as that’s what he does for Julian.
Nadia and Portia could be Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible but if we put the two women from Coraline into one role I think Mazelinka could fit the role better!
I thought it’d be kinda funny for Julian to be Mr. B and instead of a jumping mice circus to have something like a leech circus. (But also Lucio could fit this role as well and have some kind of exotic small animal circus.)
I’m not sure who’d play the part of the young boy Wyborne though! (I mean I guess if Asra is the mother/other mother role, lucio is mr. b, and mazelinka is the two women as one than Julian could be Wybie and portia would be wybie’s missing sis.)
“HOW AM I GONNA HOLD ALL THESE AUS????
I mean- since each main character i supposed to be an embodiment of some tarot card… if you end up in the ‘other world’ you could essentially meet everyone right? Except its their card disguised as them~ oooh lala” -Tcoh (*leans in close to the mic* Aka the nicest person who is putting up with my rambling for this au…)
This is a really good idea too! Because then I could imagine as the others’ glamor fades, like how the other mother starts to change, you could see them slowly change into their card’s form!
THANK YOU FIGHTSY~!!
I agree for the most part about everything except for maybe Mr. B. I think it would be super interesting if Lucio was Mr. B and his rats were replaced with many dogs similar to Melchior and Mercedes (I dunno their breed ahhh I’m not good at breeds).
And I think, in turn, Julian would work PERFECTLY for Wyborne, which also explains Malak doing the talking and such.
WE FORGOT ONE THING THOUGH. The dad. What if Nadia took the place of the dad, kinda always absorbed in work but she does care and at least goes out of her way to try and make the apprentice’s life better. In that case, Mazelinka could be the two women and Portia could be the lost sister. Huhhh it’s a bunch to think about ^^

Ramblings (Julian x Ajina)
Uff, finally finished this.
This story was inspired by @tcohs-messenger and their Fight-Anon from a line of asks a few weeks ago about Julian being a person who tends to get lost in his own ramblings. The topic got a bit further to the point about being called out for rambling about the things you like and since I can relate to that this little story came to my mind.
Hope you guys like it!
Word count: 1253 (*sobs* Can someone teach me how to write short stuff? xD)
It had started with a simple question. Ajina actually had already forgotten what the question had been and it had only passed half an hour.
Julian was so quick on jumping from one topic to another, so that it was hard for her to follow his thoughts, let alone understand all the medical terms he used.
But Ajina didn’t mind that she understood only half of the things he said. She enjoyed watching him talking so enthusiastic about a topic he clearly loved. It was a nice change from his dramatic speeches he still tend to give. He had a gleam in his eyes, like a child that showed showed his latest accomplishment. It was absolute endearing.
Sometimes Julian would pause in his rambling and tell her a story to the topic that had actually happened to him. Those she loved the most.
When he stopped again, Ajina expected another anecdote from him. But he stayed silent, even looked surprised.
Then Julian’s gave went down to the desk he was standing at, his expression becoming somewhat ashamed.
“I’m rambling, aren’t I?” he asked with a rather quiet voice.
“Uhm, sort of?” Ajina answered, perplexed by his sudden change in mood.
He muttered something so low that she couldn’t understand it and ran his fingers through his hair. When he glanced in her direction, Julian had put on a rather forced smile.
“Sorry, didn’t want to annoy you with it.”
Ajina only blinked more confused at him. Why did he apologize?
“I wasn’t annoyed,” she said, but he only grimaced and turned his gaze away. So she tried to sound more convincing. “Really Julian, it was interesting.”
Julian only huffed at that. “You don’t need to spare my feelings Ajina. I know how irritating my ramblings can get.”
With a sigh he slumped down on a chair, slouching his shoulders so that he appeared a lot smaller.
“Can’t really help it. Sometimes I just get lost in my train of thoughts and forget that other people don’t want to hear it. Not that I fault them. I’m not talking about the weather or the newest gossip after all.”
His laugh had not a trace of mirth, but now Ajina understood.
“But don’t worry. I will try not to do it again,” Julian added in a quite and rueful tone.
And she got angry.
Not at him, but at the people who had probably told him in a harsh way to shut up with his rambling. Julian already blamed himself for everything on his own so easily, how worse must it be when people outright told him so?
“You really don’t need to-” Ajina started to speak, wanting to show him that she didn’t mind, but stopped when he wouldn’t look at her.
With a huff she jumped out of her seat and walked over to Julian. She surely wouldn’t allow him to sulk like this.
When she stood beside Julian, Ajina put a hand on the desk and leant forward insistently, but still gave him enough personal space.
“Julian,” she tried to get his attention, but he only shuffled through the stacks of papers on his other side. Ajina didn’t let her encourage from this.
“Julian, please look at me.”
This time he slowly turned his head in her direction, so that he could look at her with his eye. She gave him her widest grin and pointed at herself.
“Do you really think I’m that kind of person to sugar-coat anything for anybody?”
A bit confused about this question and her grin, Julian blinked a few times at her, before a small smile flickered on his lips.
“No, I don’t. You are the most honest person I know.”
Ajina hummed pleased about his answer.
“So you can believe me, when I say that I don’t mind you talking so much. It’s not annoying at all, but adorable.”
She had to fight back a giggle, when his cheeks turned red instantly. He stuttered a few times, before he could form a sentence again.
“But...but isn’t boring for you, when I talk about medical topics? It’s not really your field of expertise.”
At this question Ajina only shrugged with one shoulder.
“Well, I might only understand half of what you are talking about-” Julian raised an eyebrow and looked skeptical, so she corrected herself with a sheepish expression. “Okay, less then half...My point is that I don’t mind and I can learn from it. I could ask you questions whenever I don’t understand something.”
Julian mulled over this suggestion for a moment, before he gave a hesitant answer: “Well, if you want to...”
It was obvious, that he still wasn’t completely convinced, so Ajina tried another approach. She took his hand that was closest to her in both hers and looked him intensely in the eye.
“I swear to you Julian, should I ever be bothered by your ramblings, I will let you know. But I enjoy listening to you, doesn’t matter, if it’s one of your crazy stories or about the success of using leeches in medicine.”
She paused for a moment to let her words sink in and started to play with his fingers, a bit nervous about saying the next part out loud.
“Besides, it obviously makes you happy. And when you are happy, I am happy.”
“Ajina,” Julian breathed, eye widened at this confession.
While she could not keep the blush from spreading over her cheeks, Ajina suppressed the urge to look away in embarrassment. She still had to get a point across.
Julian stared at her for a moment longer, before he let out a sigh of relief and closed his eye.
“It seems I will always underestimate your kindness.”
Before Ajina could utter a word, he opened his eye again and looked at her with such a tender gaze, that she was rendered speechless.
He guided on of her hands to his lips and gave her knuckles a gentle kiss.
“Thank you.”
For a moment she had forgotten what they had been talking about, still basking in his gaze and the sensation of his lips on her hand. But she was able to gather her wits again and to form an answer.
“Ah, really. It’s...it’s no big deal,” she muttered bashfully.
Julian chuckled at her demeanor and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumbs.
“For me it is,” he said, his countenance switching from amused to something gloomy. “Most people weren’t so...considering when I got lost in my long-winded speeches.”
“They are just a bunch of uneducated blockheads.”
At first, Julian was baffled about this prompt and deadpan answer of hers, but then he could help it and started to laugh.
“Blunt as every my dear,” he said with a grin.
“One of my many great qualities,” she quipped and mirrored his grin, glad that she could change his mood so quickly again.
With a gentle squeeze she let go of his hand and hopped on the table, making herself comfortable.
“But enough of that, let’s go back to the interesting stuff: Who the hell actually got the idea to use leeches for medicine in the first place?”
With joy she saw that there was no doubt or fear in his eyes now, but the eager, child-like glint from before when he started talking. And Ajina listened to him happily for hours.
