who says titch and derek can't have magic?

[sfth-aus]

hello !

SFTH AU blog, meaning that i literally just want to hear about anything you've come up with outside of canon. can be a headcanon but that's already a blog (@sfth-headcanons), so i am here for whatever else you've come up with that doesn't fit into canon but might still use characters. like fanfic. looking at spiderjimmy :)

run by @nympharmacy (xe/xem/xyr) ! i am over 18 but do want to ask that we be normal and not include NSFW stuff or RPF. i'm very uncomfortable with it.

aside from that, pretty much anything goes ! i do have patreon and those will be tagged accordingly.

okay that's it. trying to keep this post as short as possible lmao please tell me i've succeeded

[sfth-aus]

The Phantom Of Hornchurch Good Omens au. Andrews is Aziraphale, Begruvia is Crowley, Julian is Adam (the antichrist), and Julian's mom (don't know if she has a name) is Anathema (she's still Julian's mom though! She just fills Anathema's role in the story as well).

Instead of in the show where Aziraphale and Crowley work together to divert Armageddon, Andrews and Begruvia are actually sort of working against each other. Andrews is trying to divert Armageddon while Begruvia just sort of hangs around and bothers him whilst slowly realizing that he also doesn't want Armageddon to happen because if it does he'll never be able to see Andrews again. So, in the end, he helps them out and the pair still have the scene in the restaurant at the end of season 1 ("you are, at heart, just a little bit of a good person" "and you are just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing").

Julian's mom was raised with the knowledge that she would have to take part in stopping Armageddon, but she never thought that her son could be the antichrist, so she struggles trying to choose between her duties to her son and her duties to the world.

Julian doesn't want to do anything evil, but both the whispers in his head (from Satan or something idk) as well as Begruvia tell him that he could have anything he wants, that he can do anything he wants, because he has ✨antichrist powers✨.

The plot of this au is pretty much the same as the plot of Good Omens (except without Warlock bcs he doesn't really fit in) (also probably without Newt I love him but he doesn't really fit either), but instead of working together Andrews and Begruvia work against each other at first before finally working together in the end, and the antichrist is the son of the person who's job it is to stop the antichrist.

Just. TPOH Good Omens au. Do you see the vision

as i mentioned, not on tumblr enough to run a gimmick blog. never read/watched good omens i'm so sorry

"begruvia just hangs around and bothers him" — accurate. and yeah please give julian antichrist powers !! he deserves them !!

someone else provide commentary i am not equipped ;-;

WAIT ACTUALLY so more important things abt give me away,,,,,,,, (sorry to flood ur inbox a bit w/ this show but I swear it fits so well if u come into my head for a second)

SO bcuz of government control as far as hosts+seconds go, its RLLY HARD for ppl to leave the og alien ship and camp surrounding it and for people to come in, so not Only would Clarissa b dealing w/ "oh no my mom is sick" she'd be dealing w/ "Oh no my mom is sick, and I cant go see her, the soonest I can see her is in like a month probably and ill b surrounded by the military the whole time, oh god, am I gonna stress her out more what if I kill my mother by visiting her?"

And the reasons the aliens were screaming in the alien prison ship is because the alien prison ship is Literal Torture, like absolutely agonizing, and every alien has been going thru it for a long long long time, and before that torture, b4 they were put into machines, they were physically tortured for information on their fellow prisoners and for fun, so instead of terrible father figures Mark gets Torture cube and Liam and Parker (the 2 worst torturers names) and instead of guilt for his mother dying he gets guilt for the ppl he ratted out while he was being tortured (to paraphrase the podcast, every1 gave sum1 up)

And Amanda is having a Terrible time bcuz the only way she can talk to Clarissa is through calls until the night before she gets the second, and shes worried it isn't right for Clarissa, and that last night she considers confessing to Clarissa, but Clarissa seems too excited, and then all of the sudden theres some random alien in Clarissas body and Amanda cant confess to an alien she doesnt know and certainly doesnt love as it takes half of every conversation w/ her best friend from her

Endgame Mark/Clarissa/Amanda V-shaped polyamory

promise i'm not annoyed by the braindump !! i'm just tired and really don't have anything to comment on lmao

[sfth-aus]

Follow-up on the CDIYW Give Me Away AU

The answer of whether or not it is possible for the alien to have more control of the body is kinda complicated and rlly interesting!! The short answer: yes and no, the long answer:

-The whole goal of the project is letting the aliens live thru ur body so ur conditioned to follow the aliens will and come to an agreement abt what to do w/ the body early on, b4 u even get a second (the term in show for the alien in ur mind) so aliens r often given more control via their hosts but how much that rlly counts as freedom is,,,,, debatable,, hoever according to several characters it is usually pretty easy to tell when a host is not saying something the second wants said or not doing something a second wants done

-In the show it is explicitly shown that the seconds can compel the host to follow their will even it is something that the host doesnt wanna do,,,,, but this is done thru the second torturing the host somehow? details are vague as it only ever happens w/ one host and his second(s he has two, hes not supposed to its complicated)

-Ok so, in Give Me Away, the longer a host and second are together, the more they become one person, theyre sharing a brain all the time and start to integrate to eachother, in a s3 ep Graham states that abt 30% of the time its impossible to tell whos thinking a thought, eventually most thoughts and actions being done by the body are just things both the second and the host as one entity want to do, giving them equal control (this integration thing is actually kinda what gave me the idea for this AU, recent ep Main characters kid asked to have a moment alone w/ their dad, but bcuz their dad has a second its a. impossible, the second is always there hearing seeing feeling what the host is and b. the dad doesnt rlly exist n e more as he was b4 he had a second hes becoming mor of his second is influenced more by the seconds priorities and will act according to them, and I think that would b like exactly the dynamic w/ Amanda like she just wants a moment alone w/ her best friend and she doesnt understand how that cant happen anymore) but like basically the alien has more control bcuz they become a part of the hosts minds their will is the body's will and the host becomes part of theirs

Sorry if this doesnt make sense its l8 and the shows main thing is uhhhhh deeply complicated!!! In a rlly fun way!! But still!

this is terrifying, actually.

[sfth-aus]

Hiiiiiii so!!!! This AU is v v me specific as in I'm combining a sfth play w/ a podcast that sooooooo few ppl listen to and basically has no fandom

Context for this AU: Give Me Away is a podcast wherein a large alien spaceship lands on earth, and it's screaming, the ship is known as "The Ghost House" Scientists find out the reason it's screaming is because it's an alien prison, wherein thousands of alien minds are trapped and constantly being tortured, the scientists also find the only way to get the aliens out is to put them in another mind, so that there are two people (the original person in the body and the alien) in the mind, people can volunteer to take on an alien mind but there's a LOT of screening, and there's a lot of backlash from the government and just from people who are scared of the aliens, the people who take on the aliens in their mind functionally still have control of the body and can only grant the aliens bodily autonomy by enacting the alien's will themselves (mostly in the form of speaking the alien's words as the alien would speak it)

OKAY SO CONTEXT OVER (its not perfect and doesnt encapsulate exactly y I think this AU works so well in my mind but WHATEV no one's listening to it T-T)

CDIYW AU Wherein Clarissa volunteers to take on an alien, goes thru the process etc. and Mark is the alien she ends up with, Amanda is still Clarissa's best friend and doesn't understand why Clarissa is doing this, instead of a botched proposal, Clarissa sometimes forgets to speak for Mark because she's busy having conversations and isn't listening, leading Mark to feel ignored, Clarissa is troubled because just as she's taken on Mark, her mom is having health issues and trying to balance both responsibilities is Hard, and Amanda is trying to help Clarissa balance them while misunderstanding the whole alien thing and actually completely ignoring Mark and what he has to say every time Amanda Clarissa and Mark, worsening the tension btween Clarissa and Mark

HELLO i'm so excited to get an ask again. you are lovely tysm

this is??? so cool??? i'm always down for a bit of posession hehe. clarissa and mark are so interesting to me already just because of their dynamic and both of them having Things To Work On, and there's no way for either of them to have space in this manner. fascinating premise.

my only question is, would there be any possible way for the alien to gain more independent control over the body? i understand that they're supposedly trapped by the will of the host, but it would be quite interesting to see mark take charge...

[sfth-headcanons]

Gemmadonna cat au. Gemma is a Calico from a family uptown and Bella is a stray black shorthair (I'm not familiar with cat breeds) and one day they meet and fall in love (could also be platonically but yk. cat romance.)

Everyday once Gemma's owners go to sleep they meet on a particular rooftop and stargaze together, and it becomes so inbuilt into their routine that when Bella doesn't come one day Gemma knows something is wrong.

Long story short she finds her dead body (killed by another cat in a street fight) and never forgets about her and continues going to the rooftop.

Something something urban legend 'you can still see a cat on a rooftop stargazing if you look hard enough'

Sorry for the lazy headcanon it will get worse <3

-very anonymous anon

I feel the need to go plug @sfth-aus here but also. gemmadonna dggsyyehwhr keep feeding meeee,,, you know how insane I am about them

[sfth-aus]

hELLO and wow. cat au cat au cat au

[sfth-aus]

hey is this account still active?

it is ! i've literally just not had anything submitted to me and have been a bit occupied in preparing to go back to university, sorry :/

[sfth-headcanons]

Not quite a headcanon but for a moment when I first watched The Grape Depression, I thought the Don was going to kidnap Pinocchio to replace his own lost son.

Makes me wonder how that would have gone down!

Still one of my top 5 though!

-🦔

queueing this as like. au headcanon. why the hell not. and yeah, this is actually what I thought while watching TGD for the first time as well!! haunting

[sfth-aus]

RIGHT oh my god. i would have loved this storyline

[sfth-aus]

AU where all of the plays are (low budget but full of passion) short films made by a group of friends in college that do these for fun and post them on YouTube. They all end up playing at least one character and then the older and younger characters are played by family like siblings or parents n grandparents

The inconsistencies are because they didn't really beta read it nor are they experienced writers. It gives their films some sort of charm and personality

wait this is meta as hell. it's giving "no! i always loved that carvan" vibes tbh

[sfth-aus]

HI HELLO I'm here to spread the vision of a The Magnus Archives AU of Strange Noises From the Hole in the Wall (or perhaps I should call it a crossover?? Basically the play happens in the same universe as the podcast)

From the start I felt that the play and the entity Loco Motion were very Spiral/Stranger coded, what with the loss of identity and memory and eternally travelling train and portal to impossible dimensions. So imagine Benjibillytim, many years in the future, going to the Magnus Institute to make a statement about his experience with the Silver Line. He'd almost managed to convince himself it was a childhood nightmare. Almost.

Somehow, he can never shake the feeling that his name wasn't always Benjamin. A concerning conversation and resurfacing memories basically makes him think that he should go to The Institute For Investigating Paranormal Stuff (aka Magnus Institute) and at least get the thing out of his system.

Cue him having to make a statement to one very irate Jonathan Sims.

[tape recorder clicks on][sounds of writing]All right then...what did you say your name was, again?

Oh! Erm...Benjamin... I think?

[writing sounds stop]

... You think?

Y- Yeah. Benjamin. Benjamin Grove.

Statement of Benjamin Grove, regarding...

[pause]

A train. A- a creepy, never-ending train.

[writing sounds resume, punctuated by a noise that sounds vaguely like a disbelieving scoff]

Statement of Benjamin Grove, regarding a perceived never-ending train. Statement recorded direct from subject, on 15th September, 2016. Statement begins.

I don't remember exactly when I started hearing the voice from the hole in my wall...

Yeah! That's something of how I imagine it'd go!

realizing that i am not on tumblr enough to be running a tumblr gimmick blog. i've not consumed a single second of TMA i'm sorry

regardless, i really love the idea, and especially the interview format! from what i've inferred TMA investigates paranormal activity, so anything where the fuckery in these plays is called into question is really fun to see. ty so much for sharing !!

i'm loving the obsession with 'strange noises' lmao

[blurred-honey]

Yes!

And then at the end of the statement Jon would be very put off by the whole thing but needs to be a skeptic so he’d be like:

“Yes, well, Benjamin. Thank you for coming in to give this statement, no matter how… thinly this seems to be based in reality”

“What? Are you saying you don’t believe me? This is outrageous, I came to you for help and you’re just gonna tell me that I’m, what, crazy?”

“We will be looking into it, as with all stories like this, but I cannot guarantee any sort of definitive conclusion.”

“Right. This was a waste of time”

Supplemental:

“Mr. Grove’s story seems to be flimsy at best and intentionally deceiving at worst. There being very little to research in terms of hard information makes this almost entirely provable, so I’m inclined to think that he was simply given too many sleeping drugs before listening to the neighbors, well, “going at it” as the kids say.

Tim, with his apparent love for architecture which I had not known about previously, went on a deep dive into the history of the home in question, found original plans, and explained thoroughly how there could not possibly be anything in the walls of the home due to the construction practices of the late 1800s when it was built. I even sent Tim to the location itself to make sure the floor plans still seem the same and he confirmed that the inside of the house is a perfect match to the fooorplans that will be included with the physical copy of this statement.

However, Tim found it pertinent to note that, contrary to our original belief, this house is actually not a town house. It’s a standalone, completely blocking out the possibility of noisy neighbor’s ‘activities’ being misconstrued into train noises. Obviously that’s not damning on its own for a woodpecker may have easily been pecking at the walls of the house, or a tree may have knocking against it.

Onto the identity of Mr. Benjamin Grove. He was rather unsure of his own name at the beginning, and that simply leaves me to believe that it is completely an alias. There are no birth records of a Benjamin Grove anywhere in Salisbury around his presumed birth years. There is a Bennet Grove who apparently died at around 7 years old, as all record of him stops at that point. While it is possible that Bennet Grove and Benjamin Grove are the same person, it is highly unlikely. Bennet’s eyes, from a picture taken when he was only 2, are a light blue color and Benjamin’s, from when he spoke to me only a few days ago, were a striking green. People’s eyes simply do not change, no matter how often my colleagues seem to comment on mine.

Finally, the train. There is some history of mythology surrounding trains, never ending vehicles of destruction that cut through time and space. I believe these to be what inspired Mr. Grove’s statement, as a true first hand account of a train such as what he described would never get to us. Grove’s statement is a mess of contradictions and impossibilities, so this statement will be going firmly under debunked.

Statement ends.”

[sfth-aus]

Maybe this has already been done, but I like to imagine in some universe the conductor and Locomotion team up and make the train a hidden sanctuary for lost/orphaned kids instead

...who in the fuck is the conductor why can i not recall the character.

either way. i can't remember exactly where i got this from but i like the idea of locomotion being a "savior" of sorts. of course salvation is permanent erasure from existence but eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[sfth-aus]

Hi! Loving all these blogs popping up. I have a SFTH orchestra AU I threw together one day and made a post about, but I'll briefly summarize it here because I want to:

OLM is a chellist who taught Titch (and James - although he wants to play something else - double bass), and Derek is either a violist or pianist who accompanies Titch

Begruvia plays baroque style viola, Father Andrews plays the organ

Cliff plays cello, Marie-Claire played violin, Pierre plays viola - Chip learned a bit of violin from Marie-Claire and eventually also tries viola

Toby would play harp or piano (his wife is somewhere there, too, but I never decided what she'd play), Clancy and Doohickey are probably somewhere in the brass section, and Jimmy is also in brass or percussion

Jeremiah and Bubba play fiddle or saxophone or guitar or something

Amanda and Clarissa sing, but Amanda might also play bassoon and Clarissa picks up flute, Mark either plays something in the brass section, keyboard, or percussion - I never really decided

Priscilla plays piano and she's good at it, but she doesn't like it. I think she'd try something different eventually. She's still pretty young but more around 18 by now

Persephone can sing, too! And Geoff is somewhere in there, too, but I never decided where

Never gave them a conductor, but I always like the thought of conductor Nigel. Maybe I'll continue to expand on this some day, but for now It's still just floating in the void!

ORCHESTRAAA !!!! i really have nothing to add other than maybe letting toby's wife handle bassoon or clarinet? idk we're missing some woodwinds so might as well fill them in. either way, i love.

HI HI SPREADING MY GRAVITY FALLS X SHOOT FROM THE HIP AU HERE BECAUSE I SAW THIS BLOG AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR ME TO RAMBLE ON HERE???? I might make a seperate post after I submit this so it would be more properly written and edited but here's the rough outline and what I've already thought of in my head

Okay, so the football family in the Neighbour's. Janae bought this cursed, maybe American book from a seller (maybe a witch, who knows) somewhere because it piqued their interest. Whoopsies, turns out it's a super old book about demons and similar entities that you should 100000% not summon. There's a little paper that got slipped in between the pages of the book that has a method of summoning for Bill Cipher in the Bill Cipher pages. Janae tries it after like months of pondering if they should and after months of trying to find a place that they and Johnny could stay while they try to get adopted. They summon Bill, get possessed by Bill because he promised he knew a place for the two to stay, and whoopsie doodles, where did that body come from?

Bill fuckin killed someone while in Janae's body. Johnny saw. Johnny doesn't trust Janae much anymore. He doesn't know about the triangle demon. All he saw was his little sibling murder someone. But it was for a good reason, right? It was so they could get away from their Mummy and Daddy, right? Janae told him that they're not taking care of them right, so they should run away to join another family.

They're doing this for both of them.

He trusts Janae. He should trust Janae.

He trusted them with the fire.

He can trust them with this, right?

YES HELLO WELCOME !!!!! i've never seen gravity falls please bear with me

i have such a love for all the sibling relationships in SFTH plays, and johnny and janae are very much up there !

unsure if i'm expressing myself clearly enough, but janae being pretty morally gray and then dealing with the consequences of that is a bit devastating, actually. because clearly janae didn't mean for someone to die, but they did anyway, simply because janae was curious. also, the trauma of possession >>>

does gravity falls get this dark? either way, !!!!!

[sfth-aus]

(pssst remember to pin your intro post)

little spoilers for a fic I'm planning to write, you can read the first three paragraphs without being spoiled and, for tagging purposes, this encapsulates only strange noises from the hole in the wall (so far).

okay so I've been thinking about a pre-canon fic for clarissa strange noises.

locomotion (often presumed to be a creature of the astral plane, which I agree with) can't be the only malevolent creature there, right? as such, there are others - creatures of nightmare.

to establish this world, creatures that, by one way or another, exit the astral plane, can morph into human or human-like figures, only with different intent. they could be pure, or evil, or somewhere in between, though the astral plane struggles with things between black and white.

clarissa meets one such creature, the exact nature of which I have not decided. it's running, and it looks like it's chasing her, so she runs away. eventually though, it catches up and it looks... scared. clarissa is horrified - she tries to speak to it, and it tilts its head. it relaxes slightly, then introduces itself, quietly, as "A". then, "may I have your name?"

unaware of fae, clarissa introduces herself. A has control over her, and it's about to act when several more creatures, a different kind with bloody claws and weapons clearly out hunting, emerges from the forest and starts to chase after them both. they escape thanks to clarissa, hiding in the trees where the hunters can't find them, and suddenly A can't find it in itself to act.

there's more (a LOT more), but I don't want to say toooo much yet so here's your dose of clarissa fic :] enjoy!!!

(gasp ty for the reminder !!!!)

i love your idea ! i really need to rewatch SNFTHITW since i fully thought this was about CDIYW for a second lmao.

when you say the astral plane struggles with ambiguity, does that mean with how a creature presents itself, or in how the plane dictates their change in intention? forgive me if i've misunderstood and simply can't read.

could you send in another ask whenever you post the fic? i'd read in a heartbeat :D

[sfth-aus]

Idk of this would be au or just an elaborate headcanon, sorry

After Peters horrible boarding school experience

Jemima (who I headcanon as a teacher) and David set up their own boarding school for lost kids

Including Johnny, Janne, Chip ect (I've forgotten event child character rn)

you're good ! the line does get a little blurry — to clarify, this blog is more suited for material that isn't quite canon compliant OR that uses canon material in a different way. for example, the spiderjimmy fic on ao3 (link bc i love it), which took the events of TSP and AEON and made a spider-man au out of it. i don't mind hcs, though :)

finally getting to your submission! YES PLEASE oh my god. so many of the sfth children are traumatized please shove them in a room and let them compare stories. alexa and janusz in particular would have such a time since they literally fled a country at like. six years old ???
