Yesterday, when me and my sister were eating dinner, my mom's boyfriend came striding down the hall into the living room singing Chop Away At My Heart.
And we were all so startled by it that everyone turned to look at him like 👁👄👁?
I was especially confused (and a bit happy) as the resident Milo Murphy's Law fan because I don't think this man has ever sat down to watch an episode with me. I have played the song near him maybe 2-3 times but it's been awhile since I have because my sister hates The LumberZack's for some reason.
I have no idea what happened there and I can only assume that he was possessed by Zack Underwood himself or something 😭
A "virtual band" is a band composed entirely of fictional characters, but still has music credited to them, sometimes even a whole album. The term originates with Gorillaz, but the most commonly cited "original" is Alvin and the Chipmunks
I've got ideas for a Milo Murphy's Law x Avatar: The Last Airbender AU
I have no idea where this would take place timeline wise or what the main conflict might be.
It will be obviously centered around the kids and Dakavendish.
I want Mort to be our Avatar because he just seems like a good candidate for it and would most likely be very connected to the spirits. While their personality seems pretty Airbender like, with the spiritual connection and meditation stuff, I'm gonna have him be an Earth Avatar. They're a good Earthbender candidate as well and I also just have a very hard time imagining him bald. Aang makes it work because that's how we've always known him but Bald Mort scares me.
Mort's closest allies in this AU would be Chad and Milo since I'm having them both also be from the Earth Kingdom.
Milo is an Earthbender and serves as a pseudo Earthbending teacher for Mort.
They both likely grew up training and studying Earthbending together and help each other learn new things.
Don't know if I should have Murphy's Law be a thing here or have it be either 'Milo's just a really danger/accident prone Earthbender' or the funnier option to me 'Milo is just so friendly he accidentally befriends a bad luck spirit that wants to stick near him and so shit just happens around Milo because of that'
Chad would be a Non-Bender. The possible Sokka of the team. Still a goofy, lovable guy who can't bend but is actually really smart when he's in his element. His boomerang equivalent would be throwing knives like Mai or maybe just a sword idk.
Then the ambiguous conflict starts and Mort ends up leaving home with Chad and Milo.
Then these three can meet the others at some point.
I'll make Lydia an Airbender because I think it suits her and if she does have her tattoos already it'll be easier for me to imagine her bangs being slightly changed to see them.
Mort needs an Airbending teacher and that's gonna be Lydia!
Melissa being a Firebender is obvious and she's probably the Toph. She's teaching Mort to Firebend and she's evaluating them on it or something. She becomes fast friends with Milo.
Amanda would be a Non-Bender from the Fire Nation probably, just to throw another Non-Bender in the group so it's not just Chad. She's the strategic coordinator of the team. Always trying to make sure their plans are made and enacted perfectly (which doesn't really work out most of the time but she tries)
Bradley would be from a more mixed population town. He's half Water Tribe and half Earth or Fire. He is a Waterbender but his specialty is that thing the Swamp Tribe does where they move the water in plants and vines to control it which can reference his Canon plant arm. He can even have the plant arms by doing that thing Katara does when she covers her arms in water during a fight but he covers his arms in vines and stuff.
He's the most likely one to be teaching Mort Waterbending but that honestly depends on what I decide to do with Zack and Cavendish.
Zack is from the Southern Water Tribe and he's either a Waterbender or a Non-Bender. On one hand, having another Non-Bender would round the team out more. On the other hand, it's really funny to think about the concept of a Waterbender whose afraid of fish.
I don't know what exactly Cavendish and Dakota would initially be doing since time travel wouldn't really exist here but they're doing something. They would, obviously, join the kids at some point and help them out but they need something to be doing before that.
Cavendish is from the Northern Water Tribe. They seem more 'proper' up there. Like Zack, I can't decide whether I want him to be a Non-Bender or a Waterbender because he fits both.
Dakota is definitely a Firebender because it fits his existing aesthetic. When they do join the kids, he helps teach Mort Firebending and shows Melissa some new stuff that an experienced adult would know.
I don't know if I want Cavendish to already know Dakota is a Firebender though because it can be comedic and angsty at the same time.
Dakota uses his Firebending to save Cav's life tons of times without him knowing instead of Cavendish dying a bunch and Dakota going back (again, no time travel)
Cavendish is cartoonishly oblivious to all the rescues until it's revealed.
The angst would come in if Cavendish didn't know Dakota could Firebend. He'd be angry and confused about Dakota not telling him he can Firebend and using that ability to save Cavendish countless times without Cav knowing.
Cavendish would probably ended up storming off somewhere leading to this AU's equivalent of 'The Rogue Arc' combined with the 'Zuko Alone Arc'.
Dakota stumbles upon and officially joins the kids while looking for Cavendish and teaching Mort and Melissa more Firebending. They obviously find Cavendish and he joins them at some point.
For me that just leaves pets/animal companions. While I do think almost all the kids would have pets in the actual show, we're just going to stick with three pets/companions here.
That would be Diogee (of course), Lydia's Sky Bison, and Mort's Avatar Animal Companion.
Diogee could probably be a Deer Dog for me even though they seem to be found in the desert but maybe Milo just somehow managed to get his hands on one.
I also considered a Llamapaca but I feel like we can just keep that 'The Llamapaca Incident' lol
I have four potential options for Mort's companion. An Eel Hound, a Pygmy Puma, a Fox Antelope, or a Jackalope. Any are good, I just can't decide right now.
Oh, also Elliot is our equivalent to the cabbage merchant. He's just a crossing guard originally from the Earth Kingdom whose trying to get a job in various places across the different nations and he keeps getting accosted by the shenanigans caused by Avatar Mort and his friends.
Alright, time to share what I have for a Zalissa Miraculous AU! (I do still need to figure out characters for the Snake, Pig, Dog, and Monkey)
In this universe the time travel/pistachions/aliens plots don't happen in this timeline. I don't really know what Cavendish and Dakota are doing yet but this AU is more heavily focused on the high school versions of the kids.
The Guardian would most likely be Orton Mahlson unless I think up a better option.
He'd be a bit closed off initially but ultimately he would be a great mentor and very encouraging to the heroes. He's everyone's wise grandpa.
He does feel bad about asking these kids to continue fighting supervillains especially since he's not even sure how they got their Miraculous in the first place.
I don't actually know who I want to be our main villain(s) and have the Butterfly and/or Peacock Miraculous. I don't think I want to do Victor and Bob again but I don't know who else to do other than making human versions of King Pistachion and Derek.
Zack found the earrings in his football gear bag after a practice. His reaction to Tikki was kinda similar to Marinette's but he spent much more time standing frozen in shock.
Zack's not exactly sure what's going on regarding all this but he's trying to be a good hero. He's trying to manage his anxiety better
Black Cat Miraculous Holder - Melissa Chase/Omen
Melissa found the ring in her room after school. She was wary at first but has since warmed up a lot more to the idea of being a superhero.
She doesn't know what's going on either but her journalist talents are helping her with the motivation to do research and try to figure it out.
She has good instincts but is also just using this as an excuse to be a little feral and rebel a little against her dad.
The Guardian has no idea how those two got their Miraculous and as soon as he realized the Ladybug and Black Cat were active he immediately attempted to track them down and talk to them.
He did manage it and is now doing his best to help them. They come to him for advice a lot and he does his best to give it to them.
Turtle Miraculous Holder - Mort Schaeffer/Emerald Turtle.
Got given the Turtle Miraculous by Scarlett Scarab and Omen during the first fight where they needed some extra help.
They went to Orton and he let them get another Miraculous and told them to pick someone they knew they could trust with it, so they went to Mort after Orton told them what Miraculous it was.
(When a Miraculous is handed out it's hard to be renounced and given away, at least in this AU, so a new holder keeps the Miraculous they're given. This is why Orton wanted them to find someone they really trusted because they would be a new addition to the team)
Mort was confused when he was approached by the two heroes but understood what they were asking pretty quickly and was honored to be chosen to help.
Mort gets along very well with Wayzz and they often meditate together. They do very well as a hero and has taken up the role as Team Mom.
After realizing the villain(s) are escalating and that more help will most likely be needed, Orton started planning, researching, and matching.
As The Guardian, Orton felt as though he needed to be more observant and responsible about Miraculous being given out and that he needs to be in charge of that. Emerald Turtle's would be the first and last Miraculous given out by Scarlett and Omen.
The Guardian knows the identities of all three heroes. He knows who Scarlett and Omen are. They don't know who each other are. He knows who Emerald is and that Scarlett and Omen and close friends with them. Therefore he has since decided to learn more about their other friends to see if they would be good holders for a certain Miraculous.
As such, whenever Scarlett, Omen, and Emerald need some help, they'll contact Orton and he'll find a new holder if necessary.
Fox Miraculous Holder - Chad Van Coff/Tod Tricks.
Was given his Miraculous by Orton and nearly had a heart attack because Orton decided to pull a teenager into an alley during an Akuma attack.
Chad was really unsure about it at first but Trixx is quite good at encouraging.
Chad's much more confident as a hero. Scarlett finds him kinda spooky and Omen loves his strange sense of humor. He and Trixx get along pretty well actually.
(Orton was originally stuck between Chad and Wally for the Fox but after he found out Chad already plays the flute he was quickly swayed)
Bee Miraculous Holder - Lydia/Orchid
Was given her Miraculous by Orton and he went about a better way than what he did with Chad.
Lydia was pretty excited about being able to assist the heroes and to be one herself.
Lydia does great at hero stuff and tends to follow instructions without question out of habit. Scarlett is slowly trying to help her be more assertive and reminds her she doesn't have to just drop everything because someone told her to. She also likes having Pollen around and they've found that they're really similar.
Rabbit Miraculous Holder - Milo Murphy/Mochi.
(I couldn't just not. It was perfect)
Obviously the team's Alix/Bunnyx. Only ever shows up as a last resort.
Friendly, encouraging, and proud of the team. He and Orton will share advice.
Milo and Fluff are very close and enjoy talking with each other.
Mouse Miraculous Holder - Joni/Silver Sourette
Given her Miraculous by Orton.
She was really nervous about but ultimately agreed.
Joni is very glad she has a team to rely on when she isn't sure about something. Next to Emerald, she's the most worried about teammates getting injured. Mullo is helping her to be more confident and out there.
Rooster Miraculous Holder - Jamal/Prime Light
Was given his Miraculous by Orton.
He was so ready to help. He's very outgoing and eager.
Jamal's always ready to jump into action and often acts before he thinks. He is working on this though.
He gets along best with Orchid and Crash Claw and bonds with Tod over both of them having more theatrical/mysterious hero outfits. Orikko often tries to give him advice but does find his excitable tendencies endearing.
She has a strong sense of justice and agreed to help practically immediately.
Butts heads with Crash Claw quite often but is usually friendly with everyone. She's very kind and enjoys being able to help some many people, even if it is by throwing herself directly in front of attacks. Leo finds Stompp to be a great conversationalist.
Tiger Miraculous Holder - Emery/Crash Claw.
Given his Miraculous by Orton.
He was wary of this older man but ended up agreeing to help nonetheless.
Tends to butt heads with Battle Bull and is often subjected to Prime's nonsense but he's still reluctantly fond of his team. Emery actually enjoys Roaar's company a lot and Roaar absolutely loves Emery.
Dragon Miraculous Holder - Amanda Lopez/Tormenta.
Was given her Miraculous by Orton.
She was initially unsure but dutifully accepted the responsibility.
Amanda is a big help with coming up with plans and organizing the others. Has gotten into a few arguments with Omen but they're still friends. Overwhelms herself a lot but Longg is always there to help her and remind her to rest, take breaks, and take care of herself.
Uses a lot of sarcasm and has had at least one conflict with every person on the team. He doesn't want to admit it, but he likes these people and does want to be close with them. Matches Kaalki's attitude and they both mutually respect each other.
(Bradley does have a prosthetic right arm in this AU)
Goat Miraculous Holder - Wally/Chimera.
Given her Miraculous by Orton.
Wally did agree to help but is still very anxious about everything. (Has a diagnosed Anxiety Disorder)
He really likes xer teammates and thinks they're fun to be around. They're trying to be braver and more confident and her team has been very encouraging but they also love Wally the way xe is. Ziggy finds them adorable and loves how talented he is.
That's what I've got for this and I will be thinking about this a lot more because it's super fun.
I already have a Davendish Miraculous AU but now I wanna make a Zalissa Miraculous AU.
The kids would be 16-17 and in high school instead of 13-14 and in middle school just because.
We'd have the main group of kids as holders as well as some side/background characters that I've basically made my ocs at this point. (Also one actual oc probably)
Part 2 of my Pride headcanons for various Scooby Doo characters! I will be including my yumeship and my random rare pairs because it's fun. :3 There will be a part 3.

It is now Pride Month and as such I will be sharing my Pride headcanons for every Scooby Doo character I love and remember! There will most likely be a part two to this because my list of characters is kinda long. (I might go more into depth about what they would be doing at a Pride celebration they're all invited to).

Scrappy Doo - AroAce. Male, He/Him. More interested in traps and hunting ghosts than romance.
Flim-Flam - AroAce. Male, He/Him. Just doesn't have interest in a partner. Might have one of little kid 'crushes' that doesn't lead anywhere.

Luna - Bisexual. Female, She/Her. (Possibly Poly with the other Hex Girls).
Dusk - Bisexual or Pansexual. Female, She/Her. (Possibly Poly with the other Hex Girls).
I would like it to be known that Del and I are going to adopt 2 kids and no one can stop us.
These kids are Luke from 'Scooby Doo Camp Scare' and Elliot Blender from 'What's New Scooby Doo?'
Reasons:
1. I love the and they're adorable.
2. Luke's family is never mentioned once in the movie so I'm keeping him. Maybe he's a foster kid or something but he's ours now. (Fred still gets to be Luke's role model and big brother figure obviously)
3. I know Elliot already has canonical parents but I don't think they're good parents so he gets new ones. He needs to be taught better.
