Hello,

I am a trans writer and artist (Though I rarely share anything I am working on on this blog. I'll probably make a Tiktok where I do that)

The main use for this blog will be to update fics, talk about headcanons and overall just share what I've been working on. I go by NewDevil on a03.

I've watched most big shows and musicals from the 2010s and 2020s

Asks are always open

I've been thinking a lot about how much the Backrooms movie can be a really good au for Hatchetfield, with a man running a failing store, with very few customers, constant sales and fewer workers. But he stumbles upon an arcanic gateway, similair to our world, which inspires worshipers, but this other world leads to his eventual death. He also knows a woman who attempts to help him, utterly failing and leading him victim to the paranormal entities

So

Clark as Frank Pricely

Mary as Miss Holloway

Kat as Lex

Bobby as Ethan

Captain Clark would probably be Wiggly or maybe Sheldon or even Linda as a more mortal figure so Holloway could beat them realistically

[new-dev1l]

AND the paranormal world is filled with people who are (Kind of) distorted memories of themselves

Warrior Cats Wild Western Au

I've made up more, and I'm also pulling the timeline so its not all happening over 20+ years.

In 1891, Lucinda Kemp (Given the nickname Cinder by everyone at this point) is injuried during a stagecoach robbery that she joined last minute to replace Bula Whaling, without anyone knowing until she was already there, gun in hand.

What she didn't know was that that Stagecoach was being guarded, and she ended being shot right in the leg and made limp.

She was brought back to camp by Rusty and Pierce.

A few months later, when she has begun recovery, Rusty is given the next week off, due to the amount of stress he had been put under, and allowed to visit his sister.

During his visit, his 14 year old nephew, Claude Tubs is fascinated by his Uncles outlaw life, and a few weeks later, manages to track him down and join the Gang, much to Rusty's dismay

Rdr x Warrior cats Au

Back on my old horse again, today is for the entire crew apart of the Charlie Shell gang

Crookedstar - Charles Shelly-Pace (Mid 60s)

Leopardfur - Ina Fair (Mid 40s)

Mudfur - Martin Fair (Mid 70s)

Silverstream - Celina Shelly-Pace (Early 20s)

Mistypool - Marie-Therese (Misty) Shelly (Early 40s)

Stonefur - Soloman Shelly (Early 40s)

Willowshine - Willow Shelly-Pace (34 by the time of her death)

Greypool - Gretel Pace (Mid 50s)

And the Silver-Grey kits

Feathertail - Felicia Shelly-Pace-Grey

Stormfur - Stanley Shelly-Pace-Grey

They're just slowly adding onto lastnames.

Willow and Charles weren't married by the time of her death, but they were planning on it. Just never got to that point.

The gangs conflict with the Whaling Gang, rather then being over Sunningrocks is non-existant. But they do cross over paths far more often then they do with other gangs

Tigerclan, (Still choosing if I just want it to be the Pierce gang as thats kind of underwhelming) is formed soon after Charles' death of a heart attack, through Fair and Conley forming a relationship.

The whole "death to half-clan cats" bit is more so written as Grey and Whaling being distrustful, and that being tied to their children.

Rather then them being immediately thrown into prison and punishment, they are instead slowly having seeds planted against them, subtle lines from Conley's people until eventually, they reach that point where nobody would want to stand up for them, although they would have the numbers if the original members of the Charlie Shell gang acted against them, its their perception that they are apart of the minority.

By the end of all of it, the Shelly family are sleeping away from the rest of the gang, in worse conditions and getting lesser shares when it comes to food, leaving them tired, weak and hungry.

Solomans death happens in private, with only a few actually gathered to see it, around 15 out of the 30+ combined Gang, framed as a robbery attempt upon their return.

There, he is given the ultimatum. Due to his respect and pedigree within the existing gang members, he is offered a seat at the table, if he kills the Shelly-Pang-Grey kids.

He refuses and is shot then beaten to death by Blackfoot (I'll come back with a name)

Just uploaded an Amazing Digital Circus fic, based on the flashes of real life we saw in Episode 7

Its a bit outdated on my current theory that Jax hit Gangle with his car after watching episode 8 but yeah

I'll add more later

Its that time of day again, RDR x Warrior cats.

I've been thinking on how and why Mistypool and Stonefur (Myra and Soloman Shelly) would have ended up in the Charlie Shells gang so heres my current idea

The Year is 1863, Bula Whaling, well known gunslinger in her time and mother of Myrtle, Stanley and young Phebe Whaling is competing against Mr. Warren Tucker, widower of her late sister. Tucker is working to completely undermine their current leader in Sun Valley Gang, while goading his forces into trying their luck on decimating a town population, which their leader, Mr. Simon Sunmers is heavily considering, as they are struggling to feed their own with a sudden and heavy winter chasing away anything they otherwise could have hunted.

Bula's uncle, Ira Faught, eggs her on.

And so she decides to contact her old flame.

Oaklen Shelly, the father of the triplets and brother of the leader of the Charlie Shells gang. Their group, while also dealing with the winter, is far richer. Enough to provide her children with food and proper clothes that she cannot. And so while in a town, she contacts him and he agrees to take their children.

And so in the dead of night, she makes her way through a sudden blizzard.

Arriving at the decided meeting spot, she notices that her smallest daughter, Phebe, is heavily weak and freezing.

But just in time, Oaklen arrives and loads the kids onto his horses back, with fresh clothes to place over their thinning jackets and new boots to place on their tiny feet.

Whilst Bula leaves the scene to frame a tragedy.

Leaving a trail of blood in the snow and marking small footprints in the snow exiting their tent.

Meanwhile not far from a town with an inn, a Ms. Gretel Pace is helping the children bathe in a warm bath, when she is washing the childrens clothes and finds a piece of embroiderment in one of the pockets, the property of a young Whaling homestead.

Pretty much, from there they get their names changed by Oaklen,

Myrtle -> Marie-Therese (Misty)

Stanley -> Soloman

Phebe -> Phoebe (who dies like three days later due to her cold)

[new-dev1l]

While I'm not in the fandom any more, i do think about the Warrior cats characters and aus from time to time.

Recently though I haven't been able to get a Rdr inspired au out of my head so I'm just going to drop a few characters, ages and names.

Bluestar - Mid 60s, Bula Whaling (Still thinking of a first name but she'd mostly go by Ms Whaling or Ma'am, any suggestions on a better one since the census I picked isn't giving me good ones)

Fireheart - Late teens, Rusty Farris

Tigerclaw - Late 30s - Mid 40s, Theodore 'Tiger' Pierce

Greystripe - Late teens, Jesse Grey (Again, mostly going by Grey)

Ravenpaw - Late Teens - Early 20s, Richard 'Dick' Ward

Lionheart - Mid - Late 40s, Leonard Kemp

Sandstorm - Late teens - Early 20s, Sandra Surrins

Dustpelt - Late Teens - Early 20s, David Ward

Redtail - Mid - Late 30, Alfred 'Red' Grey

Longtail - Early 20s, Lewis O'Rear

Spottedleaf - Mid - Late 30s, Selina Grey

Yellowfang - Late 60s, Ester Gice (Strictly Ms. Gice)

The rest of Thunderclan doesn't really matter rn, they are there though since we cant just have a bunch of Teenagers and Middle aged men.

For a quick rundown of the au, it starts off on the cusp of 1900, Rusty, the son of a now bankrupt buisness man, who just so happened to make a deal with the Whaling Gang.

Rusty's father, Jake Farris made a get away, and the first of his family to be found is 18 year old Rusty. Rusty is tied up and carted away to make ransom (Jake never pays), before eventually gaining over the trust of the gang (Kind of a Kieran Duffy situation I guess)

Everything else goes about the same as in the books, just a change of names and scenery.

Heres some ideas I had for each group in the book

Thunderclan - Whaling Gang

Riverclan - Charlie Shell Gang

(Lead by Charles Shelly, Mid 60s (Crookedstar))

Shadowclan - Round Shot Gang

(Lead by Ezra Boone Ingram, Late 30s (Brokenstar))

Windclan - Freemans Greyhounds

(Lead by Orin 'The Judge' Freeman, Early 70s (Tallstar))

Kittypets and Rogues/loners are civilians

Bloodclan could be some lawmakers and/or another gang, still deciding

Not sure if everybody would be Anthro or not

Resources for the Internet Classicist

I've been meaning to make a new pinned post for this blog with a few resources etc. for a million years and now I'm procrastinating so here it is.

Link to old pinned post (articles about racism and white supremacy in classics) here. I highly recommend checking it out.

Under the cut you will find a list of resources that I have found invaluable. Please put your own in the replies and reblogs!

Dickinson College Commentaries: Latin and Greek grammars, word lists, and intermediate level commentaries on ancient texts.

Perseus Digital Library and Scaife viewer: absolute classic. Ancient texts and dictionaries. You can click a word in the text and see its potential functions and its definition in a few different dictionaries. also will let you view some texts side by side with an English translation.

philolog.us: literally just Lewis and Short, LSJ, and Slater dictionaries imported from Perseus, but with a really simple interface that makes it the easiest online dictionary to use if you just want to look up a word.

Logeion and Morpho: Logeion lets you look up a word in Latin or Greek and see it in a ton of different dictionaries at once. Morpho will tell you all the possible forms for any given word.

Diogenes Viewer: app that basically does what Perseus does except you can download it. There's a web version with open source texts but to get the full benefit you need to have both the app and the TLG and PHI Greek and Latin text databases downloaded. Send an ask off anon if you want more information about those.

Haverford Bridge: vocab lists for selected texts. There's also a page with the tools they use to generate the lists so you can make your own.

johnstoniatexts: texts that Ian Johnston has translated and put online for free. It doesn't have everything but it has kind of a mind-boggling amount considering everything on here is translated by one person. The translations tend to be a little wordier than I prefer but it's still my first stop when I'm looking for easily accessible translations to recommend to people because I know they're fairly recent and reasonably well-done.

Geoffrey Steadman: free early intermediate level commentaries in Latin and Greek. If you use them and have the means please consider giving him a couple dollars!

PHI Latin Texts: lots of Latin with word + author search functions.

theoi.com: theoi has source material in translation for a number of gods and mythical figures. They don't have everything but if you're looking for every story with x god it's usually a decent place to start.

Intermediate Ancient Greek Language: free open source Greek textbook covering Greek in more detail than your intro textbook/course.

This list is not comprehensive and I will probably keep adding to it!

Also if you're looking for anything feel free to send an ask and I'll see if I can find it and/or poll the masses (everyone following this blog). Anon is off at least until I'm done with finals but if you ask to have it answered privately I'll honor that.

[catilinas]

some that i use regularly include:

allen and greenough’s latin grammar on dickinson college commentaries (which you have already mentioned). specifically the indexes, for instances of ‘is this a specific weird verb use or am i stupid’

digital prosopography of the roman republic for quickly searching genealogical/prosopographical/dates of magistracies etc info for the roman republic. it’s like broughton’s magistrates of the roman republic but better

attalus, specifically their index of names and chronologies of sources

topostext, which maps primary sources onto. a map. of the ancient world

indexes to the works of ronald syme. you do have to download this one and it is massive and hurts my computer to search. but it is very useful if you are rummaging through syme
