More info below the cut, the context is... a lot...
Have at thee... AU art for... Big project... yes... I abandoned this in 2022, basically an almost DND style multiversal mashup where I threw 30 different universes into a pot to see what happened, these are 9 characters that were chosen to be au-ified and drawn as if they are in that mashed up world, so basically with ye olde time themes, slightly different outfits, etc.
Characters from left to right and down:
Mahito (JJK)
Senku (Dr. Stone)
Power (CSM)
Mr. Peanutbutter (Bojack Horseman)
Atom Eve (Invincible)
Thirteen (Obey Me)
Kurapika (HxH)
Lest (Arcane)
Idia Shroud (TWST)
The purpose for this multifandom AU? My own pleasure. I had awful art block back then, no friends to console in, and dream. The idea was that I would take inspiration from The Rise of Brave Tangled Dragons or whatever it was called-- and combine several different power systems, world buildings, upscale it all, flavor blast everything with head canons, and make a sort of slice of life fic with one-shots in between for me and me only to write and read between schoolwork because I was bored as hell and cocaine wasn't a feasible option. Luckily, this hit just as well as I thought it would, but I soon abandoned the project and pick it up again in October of 2023 almost exactly a year later and I made a new doc and added more franchises to the concept. Then I left it alone again and came back to it tonight during a conversation with some super cool people.
Will I elaborate further? No. It's 4 AM as I am typing this, and all shame I may have previously internalized over the course of nearly two decades is merely a concept my mind has made up to protect me from saber tooth tigers, which has misfired. Now here we are.
So, I don't know how many Bsd fans are also Fate/Stay Night fans...... BUT I AM and this is the only reason this exists
Fate is one of my favorite series and I was listening to the Fate/Zero ost one day because it's one of my fav ost ever... and I started thinking about a possible crossover and it kinda snowballed from there lol
Explanations and ramblings under the cut!
For who doesn't know what Fate/Stay Night is about: the gist of it is there's a recurring event where seven mages (masters) summon seven heroic spirits (servants) who fight between each other to win the Holy Grail. Basic things to know are: servants are divided in classes and each has a Noble Phantasm, aka a servant's ultimate weapon/ability; each master has three command spells which compel the servant to obey to three absolute orders; servants need mana to keep existing. said mana is usually provided by the master, but can also be transferred with bodily fluids (that includes sex)
The pairs I had thought of for this au are:
- berserker!Chuuya + Dazai (in this case the berserker's typical madness happens only with Corruption, which is Chuuya's Noble Phantasm and can be stopped only using a command spell)
- saber!Akutagawa + Atsushi
- caster!Nikolai + Fyodor
- lancer!Bram + Aya
- assassin!Nathaniel + Margareth
- archer!Mark Twain + Lucy
I have absolutely NO idea who to cast as rider lol
Kunikida is the Church's overseer though (an impartial judge for the Holy War)
I've thought about these combinations for fun since I don't have an overarching plot or anything, just some little disconnected scenes, but I liked the possible interactions with these pairs. I wanted to have characters from the main factions in the series (so like, the Port Mafia, the Agency, the Guild...) but since servants are heroic spirits of the past (and in this au they're not their irl literary counterparts, but characters on their own. Chuuya's real identity would be Arahabaki, etc) I wanted to pick characters who also could have a particular design while fitting the role........... I wanted to put Lovecraft in there too but he's definitely a berserker and I'm not giving up Chuuya for it lol
This wip has been eating my brain for literal months, so here it is!! It got me back into doodling just for fun so it was a good time.
I actually have more sketches but I feel like these are already a lot lol...... so I'll post those at a later time (also because I'm rewatching ubw now so I might end up doing more....)
