Technically Tala could have a sister, or a half sister/brother atleast, though it's not clear if this is his mum as she looks a bit different in another panel.
August 2026 is AU-gust here at the Prompt Foundry!
Alternate Universe takes on our favorite stories—be they shows or books we love, or tales of our creation—can be a delightfully fun way to explore what makes those stories tick, what makes those characters who they are, and what in them is important to why we enjoy them.
On the other side of the coin, some settings and scenerios are popular for AUs because there's something special about that environment or situation that really tickles our brains, and it can be fun to figure out how to fit different characters and their contexts into that world.
So let's run through the multiverse and play with some AUs!
Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events, like last year's March of the Blorbos! Draw, paint, sculpt, sing, write fiction, write poetry, write academic analysis—use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.
If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see what you create!
Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any, or posting your work after the day the prompt is assigned to. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!
If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.

Life is soooo crazy. One minute you have the earth shattering realization that all of ur relationships are hollow and ur actually acutely alone in the world and that nobody Knows you. and the next minute ur like. Eating a kit kat
there's a level of insanity to jrr tolkien having samwise say he felt torn in two between rosie and frodo (THE IMPLICATION?) just for frodo to reply 'well that's an easy solution. get married and then you can come live with me at bag end together.' right right right right
