Fate's Children AU

the official blog for lavendermothboy's Fate's Children alternate universe, an everyone lives/no one dies timeline where one Meiko Petrov set everything up so conflicts were solved with the power of friendship.

[fates-children-au]

Welcome to the Fate's Children AU!

this is primarily a rp via ask blog, featuring my everyone lives/no one dies jojo au! (except some characters do die. but that's an aside.)

specific storylines can be found in my "wiki" (-styled toyhouse)

the "protagonist" of this blog is meiko petrov, a stand user who has the entirety of jojo parts 1-6 logged into her head, and can also summon ghosts of characters who appeared and have since died. here is her toyhouse for more information

there's three main "meiko eras" where she is involved with the jojo canon: stardust crusaders, diamond is unbreakable, and golden wind. however, there are major timeline events such as the "white cake cult" saga that take place after golden wind would have ended!

give me a year or era (pre-sdc, sdc, diu, gw, or post-gw) and a character of your choice will answer your questions about how and what they're doing, not just limited to meiko!

aside from rp via asks (which may include art!), i may do rp on my own, small interviews, lists of headcanons, or anything related to the au! i may also reblog stuff from my main blog (@lavendermothboy) if it is relevant here as well, and vice versa.

the primary "canon text" for the au, although it is more nestled within than an origin, is my white cake cult fanfic. i'm more than happy to answer asks from the perspective of a canon character in the fic before or after its events!

im very excited to present my au to the world, and i hope you all enjoy it as well!

ok so logically you'd think meiko would use "atashi" as her first person pronoun cause yknow shes kind of "cool girl" and pretty much always speaks informally (to a slightly impolite degree) but i just thought it didnt fit her because i couldnt imagine her as cisgender enough to do that. like she's literally a relatively gender conforming cis woman but i guess i projected onto her too much? idk

so i went through my other options. shes not normal enough to use "watashi", shes not masc enough to use "ore" or "jibun", shes not western/kansai enough to use "uchi".

then i got stuck on "boku". its relatively masculine but not in the way "ore" is, and has sort of "tomboy" connotations when women use it. but also, i heard mizuki pjsk uses it specifically in katakana (ボク) which i believe is a little more feminine than using the kanji (僕)? and so thats what i decided on.

but in general, i feel like meiko's speech in japanese is *real weird*. its her second language and she grew up in america, so she probably sounded like a gangster when she moved to japan, but she also will go up to characters she knows from the jjba series without ever having met them irl and, regardless of their age, she'll just start chatting them up like theyre old friends. while sounding like a criminal i guess.

love how the only dm on this account is myself when my main account got hacked. "hey I need to talk to you" surely there isn't an easier way to talk to me, me

[fates-children-au]

art of meiko from the lovely @astonishingradish for artfight thank you :D

[fates-children-au]

okay so i have a relatively alright au "wiki page" now :D

still for sure a work in progress but it does, like, exist now which is great

[fates-children-au]

might as well post the art i did for @jjbaalttimelinezine! i also have a writing piece which i may also post here

and now i can add Context since i have words and cant shut up :)

basically so you know how araki was like "yeah kars isnt coming back unless theres like idk something specifically bringing him" well mikitaka is an alien. with a spaceship. and he's bringin kars back.

here he is after "defrosting," though its still taking a while for him to regain his brain function. esidisi is a ghost here (bound to meiko, who befriended him + wamuu and santana over the years with the purpose of getting them to be normal about humans). wamuu and santana are offscreen elsewhere in the tent because i wanted a vertical composition. since theyre all already dead they arent affected by the sun aside from some mild pain, which is great because they can look at it now!

i really enjoyed making this piece since i had suchhhh a clear idea, and in executing it i did a bunch of cool advanced trickery i hadnt tried before, like making the inside of the tent w/ perspective, drawing weirdass head angles and poses, multiple light sources with specific... sources, and soooo many different textures

and well basically after this kars gets to live in yoshikage kira's canonical guest house because they both need an accountability partner

[fates-children-au]

so i made a "world" on toyhouse with all the stuff in the au, it has a page for the white cake cult and violets of anarchy (idk if ive mentioned it here before but its like pre-sdc), theyre Very under construction so i wont post it yet

i also updated meiko's page to have descriptions of a whole bunch of her outfits, which i may or may not draw eventually. but you can look at her page. i still filled it out a whole bunch

[fates-children-au]

if the white cake cult was an anime, yamachan would still be 3d, tenna style

Somebody in a Twitch stream chat was trying to insult a streamer by saying, "You're almost 40, and you've only gotten a tarot card reading once?" And I don't know, I'm still amused by this. I'm in my late 20s and I've also only had a tarot card reading once. One of those ones on the street you pay for. The guy doing my tarot card reading was like, "You're going to join the military," or something like that, and 15 year old me thought to myself, "Okay, well that's not true. So I guess I just got scammed," and then I just never got a tarot card reading since then.

Military recruiter who pretends to be a tarot card reader so he can tell every person who gets their future read by him and they'll be joining the military in the future.

(military recruiter tarot card reader in august of 2001) *draws The Tower* *draws a second The Tower* now that's not supposed to happen

i can't do secret hidden lore or leave things up to imagination because i like showing people things too much . i'm like check it out do you like my story here's every single thing that has ever happened in it . i'm too excited for tacit implications i like to show off my characters like someone shows off their pet kitty that they put a cute hat on

[ask-the-fishdick-deactivated201]

REBLOG IF IT IS OKAY TO COME INTO YOUR INBOX AND SAY THE RANDOMEST SHIT I CAN THINK OF BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO INTERACT WITH YOU.

[fates-children-au]

this au does not address the extreme number of brando-joestar hybrid children created by preventing dio's death.

they're just out there.

waiting.

[fates-children-au]

the rolling stones arc in this au is so anticlimactic. like moreso than any other time theres a "civil discussion". its like ohhh bucciarati has to investigate! and then he shows up and there arent rocks trying to kill him, scolippi just explains what happened and everyone goes home

[lavendermothboy]

decided i wanted official-looking reference images for meiko, for both her younger and older design. this is the younger one. why did i choose to do this to myself. at least it turned out good i think

[lavendermothboy]

and heres her older design! i like how gentle looking she is
