medieval chess au….? that sounds so cool

so originally i wanted to do some kind of historical au for chess set during the medieval era, but the more i looked into it the more i realized that trying to do something like that in a real world context while still keeping the same real world political context (apolitical chess is just not as interesting to me tbh) just wasn't going to work, so instead i decided to do what george r.r. martin did when he was writing game of thrones and use real world history (game of thrones was largely inspired by the war of the roses) and real world politics within the context of a fantasy setting, so the main conflict is still east vs west, but it's the eastern kingdoms vs the western kingdoms.

freddie is ser fredrick, the gilded lion, born and raised in the golden city (the main seat of power among the western kingdoms similar to king's landing, located by the sea) to become king, beloved by most while also being regarded as a petulant child that (seemingly) hasn't had to deal with any real hardship, and then across the emerald sea are the eastern kingdoms, a colder, harsher climate compared to the western kingdoms, which is where prince anatoly, the black prince (or the white wolf, depending on who you talk to), lives with his wife, svetlana, and his advisor, aleksander molokov, who himself was born in the small settlement of alexandrovitch, located just outside the black gates, which separates the northernmost mountain range and the freefolk lands from the rest of the southern kingdoms. florence, meanwhile, is ser florence, a former advisor and freddie's royal mistress whose family comes from the eastern kingdoms but grew up in the golden city before deciding she was fed up with her life and ran away to become a knight instead, and then other plot details that include things like anatoly abdicating the throne because he never wanted the responsibility of ruling a kingdom and leaving his wife to take over the responsibility instead as the czarina and her doing so knowing that there are people who depended on them for leadership and guidance (and honestly probably being better at it than he was), molokov secretly plotting to take over the throne for himself (having already earned himself the nickname of the wolf whisperer), freddie regularly competing in the tournaments held in the golden city and being a very capable warrior in his own right (he's big on jousting).

#typing this with a fucked up hand because i got way too excited thinking abt never play to win a pawn aka game of chess #so far most characters and locations have a corresponding game of thrones equivalent that served as its inspiration #like how molokov is basically petyr baelish #or how florence leaves to become a knight like brienne of tarth does #the eastern kingdoms are very much patterned after winterfell and the wall in addition to its real world equivalent of russia #as well as other slavic countries #while the western kingdoms are patterned after king's landing and the vale and highgarden #as well as mountains and forests and some of the deserts found here in the states #i still don't have Everything but i also just haven't worked on this in Awhile #but it's definitely one of my favourite aus i've ever worked on tbh #answered #nickclose #chess the musical #never play to win a pawn tag #the tirolean spa (my brain) once again has the chess boys in it #i also have a drawing of knight!anatoly somewhere if i can find it 👀

probably not gonna go too far w/ this but uhhhhhh animation au ?? 👀

Sun and Moon being accidentally sentient drawings , given too much artistic attention not to become somewhat sentiant. Drawn for a kids show but inevitably a cancelled project. Animators who worked on the concept art and painted the cells swear in the dead of night their drawings blinked back at them, out of their peripheral vision.

Taking a coffee break and coming back to their desk, and hey weren't Sundrop's rays just up a little further? Moondrop's hat just a little further to the left, draped over the opposite shoulder? Maybe just imagining it. Weird.

Weird to be toons stuck behind a wall you can see but can't reach. They're alive, right? Why didn't they have a say in their show being axed right before airing? What were they supposed to do now?

#dca fandom #oooo u wanna think about stupid little toons oooo #srry man i just . got this on the brain. very much inspired by thinking about my own ocs too much aDHAKDJ #toons are sentient on the concept art bro the shit is wack #animation au #writings #drabble

Title: For Your Punishment Fandom: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Pairing: La'an Noonien-Singh/Spock Rating: E Chapters: One Shot Setting: Holodeck AU, continuation of Spock and La'an's kinky holodeck adventures, sequel to For Your Entertainment

Summary:

It has been weeks since Spock found out about La'an's liking for pole dancing through fortunate circumstances humans might refer to as kismet. Ever since that fateful encounter, they accompanied each other on the holodeck frequently and shared their most private programs, with both of them realizing very quickly that they shared many kinks and complemented each other’s carnal desires in the most enticing ways.

They had agreed to take turns choosing the program. Last time, La'an had chosen a program about illegal underground fighting at Starfleet Academy which had resulted in a peculiar intense and stimulating mix of violence and sex. Now it was Spock's turn again and he picked a program that he had been looking forward to try with La'an for a while...

I was pooped the whole day and got my drawing insp last minute late at night so here are some magical girl au doodles since i was inspired :P

Starhawk, Dusk, and AU belong to @dimorphodon-x

#cjj arts #magical girl au #drillburst #not my oc #last doodle is partially inspired by the one dusk drill crack exchange we made #if dusk is still a fan of him in this au then it would be very funny #though i wonder if there'd be ire too because wow does their dad sure like to give a lot of attention to this one guy he hates #(even if its still not as much attention as he gives dusk)#either that or its all cool and dusk thinks their dads gave them a christmas gift lol #anyway drill tries to be cool by quoting musicals and films during battles and its either really awesome or really cringe #depends on what he says #i would draw more angsty stuff but im very tired and this was all i could draw tonight #maybe later #cjj ocs #maccadam #transformers

oh yeah i’ve got a bunch of loz aus that i haven’t really talked about. a few of them are listed and slightly explained in this poll and explanation reblog but i haven’t gone out of my way to actually list the aus i have and really explain them. so that’s what this post is for. here are some... decently simple explanations of my major aus and what they're generally about

i have two kinds of aus: original aus (loz aus that are set in their own kinds of worlds with their own stories and twists on character roles) and then crossover aus (we all know how this works i just mash loz and a thing i like together)

original aus: (many currently dont have actual titles, so the titles will often just be concept shorthand)

in the court of the crimson king/crimson king au: probably the most developed and closest to being written out. it's got one of the longer premises; set in a industrial-esque hyrule city, following linebeck as the main character, as the adoptive older brother of link and aryll, living with them and their grandmother as the only one able to reliably make money to pay for rent and food, leaving every other work to do jobs, but he moonlights as the 'demon of the gray moon', a masked persona he'd created as a child that had long since become a city-wide urban legend, anonymously taking unsavory jobs from whomever can contact him and offer pay, often working directly for bellum, a childhood friend, the one who enabled and trained him to become the demon, and one of five anonymous leaders of the city. linebeck effectively lives a double life, and tries to stay out of too much trouble to avoid drawing attention to himself or making his adoptive family worry, but he gets dragged into more and more danger as bellum becomes curious about the identities of the city's other leaders, and linebeck falls in love with a man named ganondorf, suspected to be one of those other city leaders. ive got a few posts related to it already: this one being another vague concept descriptor, this one being an actual scene i have written out.

'gimmick' au: i cannot explain the gimmick without spoiling the au. put simply, in this au, hyrule as a whole has been at war for ten years, every race and kingdom taking sides in a conflict that seems to be going nowhere. link joined the hylian army young, and has made his way up the ranks to become trusted by queen zelda herself, and things in the war take an interesting turn as he and zelda discover a new faction, unaligned with any particular kingdom and with unknown motives, and zelda decides to set out to the different parts of hyrule, link and a chosen group of trusted allies in tow, intending to try negotiation one more time before things take a turn for the worse.

sci-fi/space au: the fun one that probably would need to be done in a visual medium. it takes place in a solar system of a few planets, link growing up on the planet hyrule and occasionally traveling to the others as a knight specializing in investigating and taking down dangerous bounty hunters, working for zelda as a friend. he and zelda uncover a plot by the yiga clan to accumulate a number of highly dangerous research and weapons held by each species as they aim to resurrect a demon to wreck havoc on the solar system- the b plot being about the top bounty hunters in the solar system screwing around, eventually colliding with link and zelda's a plot as it begins to involve them.

murder mystery(?) au: one of the older ones, maybe one of the oldest that i still stick with. this might actually be one of the first ones i tried writing. the plot begins when zelda returns to hyrule city years after her father- the former mayor- was murdered, finding that he has been replaced by ganondorf and that while things seem fine enough on the surface, random and organized crime run the show, and she begins a private detective agency as 'sheik', a masked young man, and with the help of impa, and old friend and confidant, she moonlights as sheik and uses her daytime identity as zelda to help chip away at some of the city's biggest problems and finds herself drawn into a long string of murders that appear to be anything but random violence.

ruined hyrule 1: i have two au’s with the premise of hyrule being ruined. neither of them have more specific names yet. this one begins with the majority of greater hyrule's population having long since locked themselves in hyrule castle town in order to escape the increasingly dangerous wildlife. zelda, a young girl at the beginning, becomes curious about what lies beyond the city walls, and makes friends with many other children within this sheltered hyrule, and as they grow up together, aim to eventually venture out into the wilderness to see what may have caused the outside world to become so incredibly hostile.

ruined hyrule 2: the other ruined hyrule. set in a devastated hyrule, roughly ten years after the royal family was killed, link failing to save them or hyrule in the time since. he now resolves to set out and indiscriminately destroy every demon that plagues the ruined hyrule, meeting and bringing along various allies, each of which has been uniquely affected by and have different lived in this altered, dangerous shell of hyrule.

modern (school): i also have two modern aus. this one isn’t plot driven, just a concept i have, would work best as little vignettes or something. essentially just the idea of a group of loz characters hanging out together in a modern high school (or college?) setting.

modern: this is the one with an actual plot. follows the general idea of zelda characters living in a modern world only for the typical legends to begin resurfacing and heralding dark events. plot specifics are murky, but that's the general idea.

dark mage: this is the au that where the seas meet the sands takes place in. basically just ganondorf x linebeck shenanigans in this alternate hyrule while actual plot sneaks up on them. named 'dark mage' mostly because the initial idea behind this au was that linebeck would learn magic.

horror au: doesn't have the best name, and it's ended up just being a personal sandbox for me. constantly changing, with the cast and setting often altering if i find that something isn't working or sticking. it's an au i've considered (and even briefly tried) writing in the past, but it's still too fluid, and writing horror effectively is difficult. it's a fun au, though.

mecha au: spawned because i watched neon genesis evangelion. a lot of this au's basic concepts can be found here: x but the short version is that hyrule is being besiged by massive monsters, but each race has created their own mechs to combat them. link is just a farmer who happens to have a strange knack for being a mech user, so is brought in by zelda as a gamble to bolster their chances, and he is tasked with working with a new and less-than-trustworthy crew to help fight those monsters.

'amnesia link' au: an au that sprang up in about a day and hasn't gotten too far since. basic premise being that three years prior to the story, link and a group of allies has faced off against ganondorf and, despite their best efforts, lost, with link being presumed dead by their enemies. now, link has woken up from his coma, his memories gone and hyrule taken over, and, with guidance, must once again travel across hyrule, aiming to rediscover his allies and try to face ganondorf once more.

A quick list of crossovers: I won't explain these in length, since they can range from having their own plot to just being a fun mental concept. So, the things I have made crossover aus with are:

Warrior Cats

Batman

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Persona 5

Pokemon

(there are other, smaller ones, these are just the ones i consistently pay attention to)

So! These are the majority of my legend of zelda aus, some of which I may write, some of which just exist in my mind for fun, all of which I wouldn't mind talking more about if anyone is curious!

#i had to find an actual list i made to remember most of these tbh #salty talks #salty's loz aus #lmk if any of the colored text on here is hard to read i can change it #for some of the duplicate name aus the colors help me remember which is which but ill change it if it makes it hard to read #this took absolute ages to finish partially bc i dont have much physical evidence of these aus. they live in my mind and my mind only #my favorite little tidbit is that in the space au linebeck is a bounty hunter known for being a really skilled sniper #and i did not. in fact. be inspired by sniper tf2. this au predates my knowing about tf2. space au linebeck is inspired by fuckin #ttgl yoko littner and sao (gags) sinon. this will always be funny to me. space au linebeck is probably one of my favorite au linebecks #fun fact also. counting the crossover aus linebeck plays an antagonistic role at some point in 10 of these aus #also anyways worth reminding that a lot of this shit isnt actually very developed. the murder mystery au does not have a lot of actual plot #most of the developed plot stuff in these aus tends to be directly connected to linebecks role in the story bc a lot of these aus happen to #exist bc one day i was like hm what if linebeck was in (hyperspecific situation that led to the creation of one of these aus)#gimmick au is a really good example of how a linebeck in xyz situation thought can spawn a huge fucking story #but i cant get too specific abt that without spoiling the fucking gimmick and ive already said too much #'dark mage' au is also called that bc i think it was REALLY inspired by me thinking abt linebeck in the fe awakening male dark mage outfit #this has been sitting in my drafts for. so long. and then in two days i slammed all of those out and bam. here we are #the crossover aus list is also a list of 'media that also gave me brainworms and therefore got the honor of meshing with the Big Interest'#im not even a big time batman fan i just saw the 2022 movie and scrolled through an entire blog dedicated to harvey dent #i know so fucking much about harvey dent. why is dc so fucking bad about him #anyways welcome to the bottom of the tags. hope you enjoyed your stay. these r my weird loz aus #post-ph isnt here cuz i dont consider it an au. its something else between ‘au’ and ‘speculative canon’

thinking abt how to use magic in seraphim a human has to undergo a transformation that is completely irreversible. thinking abt how it could possibly steal every last bit of identity that person has, how mages & magic users start off no different from everyone else and morph as they pull magic into their bodies, harnessing it. the terror of using magic for the first time, this feeling that is so close to death that it terrifies most out of using it. how it's almost a sudden explosion, clouding their vision as this unrefined power just begins. how mages become almost unrecognizable as human beyond vague sensibilities, some even losing their speech, hearing, sight, as their body is forced to adapt to channeling a force that was never meant to be theirs.

it follows a lot of the same logic as how the grown star effected spoke, morphing his body with magic that was unstable. except, instead of being finicky in the same way, it just continues to grow. they become almost monolithic in a way, these towering figures often draped in loose cloth rather than more traditional dress. older mages possibly even being capable of leveling armies, even though these don't often last long.

there's a visual difference, too, in how a new mage looks and how an older mage looks, even if they're both relatively new. the shifting and changing begins to really take hold within the first year, even faster if they attempt to use more magic too quickly, their body being forced to adapt to housing that kind of magic. and it takes a toll.

mages tend to begin to get their more distinctive features after about three or so years in more passive use cases, ending up taller and even beginning to have their faces seemingly melt into whatever kind of magic they've been using (which tends to be black-ish, almost void-like, for those who've been fighting in the war, as they use so many different kinds of magic and generally just get the brunt of the worst side effects)

#haunted ecosystem #haunted bookshelf #au: seraphim #this is very much subject to shifting and changing im not 100% set on humans even being able to use stronger magic at all #i just got hit with an idea and i think it's a little Too inspired but i wanted to share my thoughts ^_^
