shitty deity idea: twin time gods of the tau and kappa effects, where the god of the kappa effect is called tau and the god of the tau effect is called kappa.

hi I just wanted to say your tags on the gaster poll posts are so correct yessss (always enjoy your takes just in general). thank you for being one of the seemingly very few people out there who also believes there's no way the timeline works for gaster and alphys to have been colleagues. however, him haunting her benevolently is something I'm 1000% here for <3 (also I hope your finals went well and you get to have a nice relaxing break!)
HII HELLO HI im glad you like them!!! knowing you read these motivates me to keep being Absolutely Very Normal About Him on the internet
personally it's less of a believing thing and more of a come on it's written right there thing, but since we're here.
Tumblr media
behold! dingus timeline. (and the hottest of takes with freshly baked personal headcanons otherwise what am i doing)
Not a skeleton?
Isn't 201X too early?
Indeed, not a skeleton, but rather, some guy. Something about how monster's bodies are manifestations of their SOUL, and him oddly resembling a strange looking man does well to represent his insatiable curiosity and love for creating. (things humans are known for in a better light)
On the other hand, you will be pleased with how fascinated he is by "FLESHLINGS AND THEIR CALCIUM DEPOSITS".
And then they fucking died.
201X is the year the first human fell into the underground, and shortly after, the royal family has moved to New Home. This means some decent exploration of the cavern has already been made. Scientists could very well already have been working on optimizing life underground, with special attention to the large and ever growing new capital.
My idea? As this idiot has been aiding exploration with his antics, Gerson was the one to appoint him to Asgore. Something about his talent with turning garbage into non-garbage. With a little patience and getting familiar with his odd manerisms, it was not too long until he got to be the prince's weird godfather.
Cracking already?
And everyone was devastated, mainly the close family. Not only that, but amidst your mourning, the one couple responsible for your unrealistically high standards for romance just divorced. Is love even real anymore. You eat ants with your cereal and your work consists mainly of convenience improvements and absolutely nothing groundbreaking. What's the point of breaking that pesky barrier again? Child murder? Come on.
That's the Wingdings PATIENCE and BRAVERY encountered in their adventure. Dear god, you're lame. Aren't you some kind of genius? Get yourself together! And together he got his self, now, he has children to look after. Surely there must be some other way. He must stop coming up with new flavours for chips and find some other way.
... Dear god, the King is going to kill them.
BONES and DT
Listen. He's old. You got your wrinkles, he's got his cracking. What? You meant to point out some major event of injury must have been responsible for his current state of deformity? Well, he's old AND heartbroken. That's a direct blow to the SOUL, okay.
Jokes aside (kind of), doing any lasting damage to a monster is quite difficult given their magic forms can easily be healed through, well, magic. They can, however, eventually "fall" (wink wink) and dust away with age - which cannot, however, be fixed with magic.
With a little determination however ...
Something about the anomaly.
He found it, the other way. It was the bones all along, the so needed sustainance for channelling such a high concentration of that power. Well, not necessarily, but a boney structure will endure much more and last much longer than a meaty one. Also, it looks so cool.
You know this guy, he gets first dibs on any and all dubious substances that might or might not deal the last hit to the nail on his coffin dust urn(?). And when it all works out (dubious), he might as well play a little. What kind of things can he make? With the material properties of these calcified remains infused with his own magic, animated with determination.
Some new, powerful magic tricks?
A new kind of monster, maybe?
DARK, DARKER, YET DARKER.
There is a lot of interesting things one can do with isolated DT, aside from making bones rattle with life - for example, peeking onto the complex layers and ramifications of what composes reality. This is when the already kooky scientist grows a little mad; manic, if you will. This is the Wingdings sans was familiar with.
Time travel this, resets that, blah blah blah alpha timeline, the anomaly, the angel, the anomaly again, all things that only make sense to him and his illegible mess on the black board. The lack of detail is killing him, he needs to know what it is - what it does, why it does, how it does. Not to stop it, no, there is no stopping it.
Rather, an overwhelming need to understand it.
He falls somewhere in recent history, details of it left ambiguous. The shattering, combined with the amount of DT running in his magical... mathematical physiology, rendered all of his self but an espectator of his reality; confined to the code and unable to do anything but watch, powerless before the nature of his very being, like a corrupted program.
It is all rather frustrating, besides the burden that is coming to terms with simply not existing anymore, watching was pretty much all this research was and now ever will be. That is, until something interacts with him. It is different from the tragic prince, whom no matter how much DT he's accumulated, he is just as confined to this world's rules as other elements. Not this one, not the force from beyond. Not "YOU".
He makes it a mission to reach out, despite the limits of the code, to give away bits and pieces of him and see if you bite. But not too much, he's seen how you tend to exhaust a world for knowledge, something he can oddly sympathize with. I mean, what will you do once you find everything? One cannot fully know a person.
Maybe in another world, prophetized by a cute, little white dog. A much better world for everyone, without so much as war or disease, his greatest creation yet. And he could invite you to it, to experience bewilderment, to be reminded of wonder. If it could even help you, wherever you are, to deem your own world worth of partaking ... then the experiment was a success.

Man I just love Nimona's aesthetic. Knights in shining armor with swords, and also high-tech laser crossbows and holograms and superlaser cannons, and they can order takeout and/or eat pizza in a subway train (or possibly throw the pizza at each other). It's great.

Another Danny Phantom and DC/Batman crossover idea...
The Infinite Realms exist in practically all times and spaces, as the in-between plane. This results in things like ghosts from an alternate present or an alternate history or even from the future popping up but keeping those somewhat ordered is under Clockwork's domain. But there are exceptions.
When Danny was made High King of the Infinite Realms, there was a need for a personal knight. Fright Knight remains on retinue but as he was first and foremost the Spirit of Halloween, he can't pull double duty. But in his search for a squire to raise into a proper knight, he found an unusual spirit.
He fulfilled plenty of qualities the knight know would gain the young high king's approval. Vigilante with a strong sense of justice, the skills necessary for the role though his desire to use guns irks the knight's desire for traditional sword and shield, and even the sensation of being a halfa or at least the potential to be one. And so he took him in and trained him and soon presented his squire as a candidate for the position.
The high king accepted, mostly out of wanting to complete the paperwork, but also because their personalities meshed well, bantering together in the process, becoming part of the high king's council circle.
Unfortunately, after some time under the high king's service, the young knight commited an act of treason despite the high king's mercy. Under the guise of fun, the young knight put on the high king's Ring of Rage with permission, joking about it being a lantern ring before vanishing.
To say that the young high king was in shock was to say it mildly, exploring the Infinite Realms to find the missing knight. Fright Knight went on a quest to find his errant squire and return the Ring of Rage before it fell into the wrong hands, and perhaps punish his one time squire for treason.
But time is relative, especially so in the Infinite Realms and especially between dimensions.
And the young knight gained some more years in his return until crowning of the High King of the Infinite Realms in the mortal world's time...

What does Dream call Nightmare?-
For Dadmare: At the last stage, "Daddy" (preferred) or "Dad" (quicker and more 'mature'-sounding), though at some point it was "Father" and before that, "Mister Mare." Nightmare constantly protests being called "dad" but Dream will never stop.
For Moonbeam: "Nighty" and "Big brother."

I do like this little peak into giant cultures. There are too many stories were the various fantasy faces are reduced to stereotypes

Usually, in vore fics, the population is split into a dichotomy of predators and prey. But I think a funnier option is if there are preds, prey, and then just regular people
A pred is someone who eats prey
Prey are people who want to be eaten, or can be eaten 
Most people are not preds or prey, and they want nothing to do with it
Also, a lot has been said about predator instincts and abilities, but not so much for prey instincts - of someone who’s body specifically craves the sensation of being eaten.

I adore lupin movies where we never establish a setting. goemon's usually up a snowy mountain somewhere. fujiko's getting tanned on a beach. lupin's running through some ancient ruins of [insert civilisation here]. zenigata is examining the outside of said ruins. jigen's mid-shootout with bad guy of the week
are any of them in the same country? who knows. but they'll inevitably have the gang meetup at the end for the final conflict

Stripped Down and Rebuilt - Chapter 1 - Harry Potter [Archive of Our Own]
Tumblr media
Severus Snape doesn't think Albus' plan to martyr Potter will work out and knows nothing of the secret setup to give Harry a chance to live through the killing curse a second time. He decides that what they really needed was to start hunting the Horcruxes years ago instead of waiting for children to do it for them. He sends back his private notes and everything needed to brew a potion to strip off the spells that are restricting his behavior. He expects that his younger self will receive the information in 1992 at best.
On the Summer Solstice, 1985, a listless Severus Snape is surprised by a generous and lucrative gift from his future self.
Featuring: Reluctant schemer turned proud parent. A secret adoption. Narcissa Malfoy and most of the Hogwarts staff trying to get Snape married against his will. Lord Prince decides that a half-blood grandson is better than no grandson, provided he's invented something impressive enough to make up for it. Snape moonlighting as an undercover pedo-catcher to keep his spy skills sharp. The Hogwarts Staff Room betting pool. PTSD recovery despite efforts to the contrary.

NOOOOOOOO, no desk pygmy's 😔
I'm assuming they live in meadows?
Wait, do pygmy's keep pets? Do they have like, little fruit flies?
WAIT, DO PYGMY'S EAT BUGS????
(I am so sorry if I'm spelling pygmys wrong lol)
Pygmies are omnivores and because of their size will usually only hunt larger bugs and small fish but a lot of their diet is edible plants and mushrooms :3
as for pets it isn't common but some have been observed taking care of particularly interesting bugs or even other small creatures for short periods of time though sometimes it is longer.
Pygmies live in a variety of environments! Some have been changed so drastically by their environments that they can no longer survive in other ones. One of the most common examples of this would be the merpygmys :3 Though majority of pygmies live in forests :D

Worldbuilding which treats a thousand years as the depths of an unknowable timespan, even though on Earth we know exactly what kind of stuff was going on circa AD 1023, -VERSUS- worldbuilding which treats ten thousand years as a reasonable "very long time", even though on Earth it's 1. nearly twice as old as recorded history and 2. an entire one-tenth of the time Homo sapiens sapiens has existed
of course, my next thought is "why would you pit two bad (as in poorly-written) bitches against each other"
