Hiii... My oc in witch hat atelier AU ......

I wrote what I think would be the lore under the cut

I havent finished reading WHA but current concept: Razareth is a pointed hat, pretty disillusioned with the current state of things. Glass Demon is a wide brimmed hat, they have harnessed transformation magic and have made themselves into a quasi-construct thing that can fold into a form of an orb hang in a staff, concealed. their robe is covered in spells, some of them unfinished. They meet up with Razareth and he is smitten, but he will never prove it. He tells himself he just wants to investigate the wide-brimmed hats and then report them, but he just keeps meeting up with the witch in secret. Razareth still doesnt use forbidden magic, but he is reaaally warming up to it and to the whole idea of freedom of magic.

At one point the glass demon uses its folding abilities to hide itself while out with razareth, razareth lies that its his new magical item. Curious, he often examines the singular eye of the glass demon

possibly, to be canon with OG razareth, after some time he is convinced and they fuse into one body, but I think here the eye would be detachable and the glass demon could be its own entity if it detached from razareth.

Also the black thing on its hat is an ink container fdskgfjd possibly

Hello!

I'm an amateur writer with a love for worldbuilding and I have a few projects I would like to share! I must warn you, unfortunately I have not written substantial prose for these projects. I mostly post ideas, tag games, short posts/stories, and the like about them. Occasionally art. Most of my work on my projects is worldbuilding, ontology, theology, all that good -logy stuff

My main blog is @teratheo and that is from where likes/follows come from!

A brief summary of my main wips and tags I use and other things about my blog under the cut!

Szekh And Nane

#s.and.n - Szekh (ʃɛkx) and Nane (nänɛ) setting! The project currently doesn't have a name. A worldbuilding project, into which I insert characters, minor scenarios, ideas. I often "adapt" media I enjoy into it (eg. what would Death Note be like if it was in the szekh world? what would Invincible be like? Et cetera.). It is set in the modern world, with the only difference being the existence of szekh, their gods and related elements.

In this world, hidden among humans, are szekh. They are a prideful, authoritarian, highly religious society, basing itself on hedonism, subordination and social hierarchy. The setting has 28 gods! I have created an uquiz about them!

#szekh odyssey yapping is a subcategory of this tag, where I have "adapted" Epic The Musical into the szekh setting! One day I will post my funny ideas about Death Note and Code Geass adaptations. fjsdkgnj. I like thinking what would characters in things I like would be in the szekh setting

Drought Times

#drought.times - A more plot-focused project, but still ripe with worldbuilding!

Something happened, in this world. Something that should not have ever happened, something that should have been impossible: the afterlife is gone. Sure, there is more to that, there is always more, and the humans don't really know that it's gone, they just know of the effect. Entropy. A mysterious "disease" is affecting humanity more and more with each passing generation. The wealthy long-lived cling to their almost complete souls, while newborns mostly end up with scraps. Soul is no longer being recycled and remade, just scattered, drifting beyond the veil or straight up refusing to leave the body that should be dead.

In this decaying world, Sofia N., a tech guru thinking herself proud to not have been subject to Entropy, has devised a solution. Her "solution" ends with her haunting her own "dead" body, now occupied by a rather impressionable, naive parasitic fungi...

This is more of a science-fiction setting mixed with multiple fantasy elements, mostly relating to the existence of gods and their angels, the "afterlife" and the entire philosophy of how souls, humanity, death and the like work in the world, which is very distinctly different from ours in these regards.

Firstborn Prince

#firstborn.prince - the most plot-filled project! aaaalso with a bunch of worldbuilding!

My only story set in a more typical fantasy world, with wizards, elementals and long-forgotten deities.

The story intro can be found here!

Antythea

#antythea - the project with the least plot. hah. but I do love it ngl.

A maintenance robot awakens on a desolate space station. As it explores its newfound surroundings, it starts discovering more about itself, the history of the station and its other machine inhabitants. During its journey it encounters a voice from the intercom, which guides it, believing this repairbot is the long-awaited solution, a saviour that will fix this cursed place...

I have also worked on other misc projects, which never came to fruition or simply don't fit into any of that stuff, but still have their own tags

#limes inferior fanfiction - What it says on the tin, I did genuinely start writing it, had a lot of fun, but just never finished it! Maybe one day I will continue, I've enjoyed it greatly.

#alternative.stuff - this is a general tag for any AU's of my worlds, settings, stories!

#worlds.collide - I use this for crossovers!

❌AI & the likes of it. These are my hobbies, my passion projects and special interests.

I do not post my erotic in nature writings on this blog. This is a completely SFW blog. (If you're REALLY curious you can ask me about that in dm's, but I might only share if we're mutuals for a bit and you're an adult (including mutuals on my different blogs ofc))

High school AU 👀

If its already a high school, then make them roommates/dormmates/etc

Drought Times has a semi-canon (its complicated) human au, so I decided they will be the best fit for a High School AU.

The Nameless is a popular, charismatic kid who never gets into trouble with the teachers simply because they are just too liked. A warm, kind optimist. They always help others out and love volunteering at local initiatives. They are however naive and can be manipulated. Their dream is to be a politician who will change the world and help everyone in need. Nameless has huge struggles with their gender identity, but they don't open up about it with anyone, including their mother. Near the end of the story they would however talk about this with The Nobody, The Shattered and afterwards would come out to the rest of the clique.

Their mother is The Host, who holds a high position in a local biotech company. For the AU... she engages with the Parent's Council for the school and makes everyone's lives hell I bet GFDSHNJGD She hated her twin and has no idea what to do with The Shattered that was metaphorically dropped off at her doorstep with no instruction.

The Illuminated is the Principal FSDKJD. It also teaches Information Technology. Has scuffles with The Host, but believes itself to be the winner of them no matter what. It's a single parent of The Machine, so it's not assigned to its child in terms of class-teaching. (The Previous Avatar used to be its wife, but she passed away. She used to teach literature). It instilled the love for computers in Machine. They have a rocky relationship, with highs and lows, as after the passing of its wife, Illuminated has been more demanding and forceful towards how Machine should shape its life.

The Machine, just like in its original Human AU, is disabled - its a bilateral arm amputee. It's interested in technology and programming as a hobby, but dreams of studying anthropology. Its parent makes it wear prosthetics while outside, but it finds them uncomfortable. Being the child of the principal and being visibly disabled caused a social stigma being put on it, unfortunately, so it was relegated to being a loner, at least until Shattered befriends it and pulls it into the friendship clique

The Shattered is a child of The Host's twin who has tragically died (depending on how close to the "canon" we go she was either killed by The Host, murdered or died in an accident) and now The Host has to take on the orphan as she was their closest family. The Shattered butts heads with the Nameless, believing them to be some sort of evil schemer because of their popularity and charisma, but once they learn that The Nameless is Genuinely Just That Sort Of Person they warm up to each other. The Shattered dreams of being a streamer, so they work towards that dream. They have a very small following, like 10 regular viewers at most. They however don't know much about technology and how they should set up everything on their computer, how to manage their accounts, how to moderate, how to deal with all that, so they searched for someone who would be knowledgable about all that stuff and they heard gossip about The Machine being interested in that, so Shattered tries asking it for help. A pure business relation grows into a friendship :) now Machine is a mod on their channel <3

The Scourge is also one of the students... hm... she is tricky considering her innate connection to the Illuminated in canon, but she doesn't fit for its child or anything... Before she realized she's a girl, she was pretty popular - I believe she was training fencing and was pretty good at it. Dysphoria hit her strong though and because of that she had to drop out of sports 💔💔 After transitioning she changed schools because of bullying that she was being put through. I have no idea how to include Illuminated in her story without changing the tone of the whole AU, so I'm going to drop it from her story. Anyway! After changing schools, she tries to socialize and gets on well with The Shattered, becoming friends with them, through them with The Nameless, and then Nobody and Machine get pulled into the friend clique, forming the main cast of Drought Times! Her dream is to be a private investigator, she loves mystery novels but still hasn't started hating cops.

The Nobody is a loner who always sits in the back of the class, seemingly never paying attention to anything. He is in the Biology and Chemistry Science Clubs! He has good academic results. His mother is chronically ill, he believes he can, one day, become a scientist and discover a cure for her illness. Because of his dream he spends most of time studying, not spending much time with his peers. One day he protects The Nameless from a thug in a seedy alley and after that The Nameless clings onto him, considering The Nobody his friend sksks.

sksksks thank you so much for asking! This was fun to think about sksksk

Out of Context Line Tag

I was tagged by @trixierosewrites :D

I decided on my WIP for an AU of one of my characters, in which they are a character in manga Dungeon Meshi >:))

“How could you forget? I do not slay. I do not kill. I destroy, I exterminate, and, most importantly, I heal. I stop the spread of the disease that has a hold on each of us and, one day, I shall be cured for my efforts."

hihi

ohhh who to tag <:p no pressure though!!! I am never sure if it's okay to tag ppl sksks

@dragonfelling @memento-morianon @writingamongther0ses

but!!! if you see this post and want to do it too! you can tag me in your post I will love to see the line!!

[times-of-drought]

Happy Storyteller Saturday! If got a silly one today: if your cast was on a reality TV show, how would they play? Would they be loyal and honest? Sneaky and cutthroat? Here to make friends, or here to win?

I uhm.. not to lie. I love watching reality shows so this is a very fun ask to get njdsgkvdfjc. This would be some sort of Human-Ish AU, so stripping them of most of their special powers and ignoring the plot sksksk

Onwards!!!

Nameless - Loyal, that one person who tries to make an alliance with everyone they can. If in an alliance, they would never break it off, but they would get in trouble for "playing all fronts". They would mostly care about social connection, not much oriented on winning.

Nobody - Reserved, forgettable, but still a sulking presence in the room. That kind of player who is always there, nobody really notices them, but they notice everything. Quiet and laid-back, yet somehow gets right to the end of the competition. Drops out willingly because he doesn't care for the prize, just wanted to observe and interact. Would get into an alliance with Nameless and not expect anything out of it at all, but somehow Nameless adopts this introvert and takes him everywhere with them. Nobody would be like a big, bulky shadow following that lanky guy who keeps talking about wellness and being friends

Machine - Calculating, awkward, and somewhat off-putting, extremely focused on the tasks at hand, following the rules. It is not here to win as well, just wants to make friendly connections :] Would get into an alliance with Nameless that lasted till the end.

Illuminated - here just to have fun and fuck shit up. The kind of contestant that constantly makes you think "this MUST be a paid actor nobody would act like that out of their own volition". They are a producer plant because they are the producer and just wanted to make the show more interesting. Nobody knows this, but people suspect they may be a plant with how much they fuck shit up. Constantly stirs drama, made a fake alliance with Nameless at the beginning of the show. Had an alliance with Scourge but broke it off after some minor altercation.

Scourge - She is here for one thing. To WIN. She knew of Illuminated's status since the beginning, so that was part of why she made an alliance with it. Didn't work out. After she realized it will not influence her winning chance, she went full cutthroat and ruthless. Constantly flirts with the show's host, that is---

Shattered!! - the show's charismatic, beautiful, energetic host! They narrate what is happening, present challenges to the cast, announce departures and other happening, and generally banter with everyone. Shattered just has that personality of a host of such a show. Very invested in all the drama that is happening, but tries to keep neutrality, at least on camera. Flirts back with Scourge when the cameras are off~~~. Is allowed to be a little sadistic, as a treat.

Host - I just think she would be fun to include because she would be absolutely ruthless. Even worse than Scourge. She wants to see the world burn, but in a not fun way. Exploits others, forges fake alliances just to use others. Manipulated Nameless in delicate ways to exploit the fact they are allied with almost everyone. She acts like a puppetmaster, constantly scheming and figuring out what to do. The one thing she cares about is money in the pot and securing her right for it.

Razareth - has no clue what is happening. Genuinely. Not fit for the social aspects of the show, he thrives best in the mental challenges, not very much in anything else. Accidentally made an alliance with Nameless because he had no idea what it means. Keeps overthinking it all the time, so much so that he entered YET another alliance with Avatar. He's not sure what all that entails, but tries to be a good ally anyway. Very intimidated by the rest of the cast, absolutely horrified of some of the other contestants. Unsettled by Shattered, but unsure why exactly. He vibes very well with the Machine, I think they would be friends. They would hang out in one room, average a word per minute and both would think "wow they are such a good friend". Not officially in an alliance, but functionally yes.

Avatar - she just wants to make friends. Nice, friendly, but doesnt let anyone dominate her or otherwise step all over her. Assertive but nice, she is equally interested in winning and making lifelong friendships. A big rival of the Host, I actually think she would not make an alliance with Nameless, but she pondered it greatly. She would make a reluctant alliance with Razareth just so that she has some guaranteed support, just in case.

If I went and did all the Szekh gods the ask would grow to a horrible size so I might play around with the RealityShow!AU in a different post vjdskvcx

[times-of-drought]

happy STS! Do you have any McGuffins your story, and if so, please tell me more? If not, please do a fun lil dance and check your posture :)

Hmmm, I usually don't use McGuffins, but after some thought I do have one! Albeit in an AU story sksk

In one of my AUs the characters from #drought.times and a different story are pitted against each other. The characters from Drought are ambassadors from their own world and the McGuffin is an extension of the peace treaty between the worlds. All characters strive for it, but what is important to the story is what actions they take to obtain it and how their relationships evolve in the political landscape :>

Whether they achieve the peace treaty or not is not important and it could go either way, so I think it counts as a McGuffin sksk

You dont know whats on their shirt it very wwll could be this

Going Camping!

I was tagged by @seastarblue >:)))

Imagine: Your characters are camping out togather.

I could be normal and do this with the Drought Times ensemble, but!! I may have recently thought up a Human!AU for my Szekh gods. so. Szekh gods moment KJGVDSNVD

1. Who would suggest the activity and why?

Zezzr''a would, of course. Officially, it's for faer research purposes, but fae just wanted to see the world burn as faer friends struggle to survive in the wilderness.

2. Who would argue about where the campsite should be set?

Iniris, of course, would not allow anyone to make anything resembling a fire that would not be located withing a correct, safe and secure stone pit. As such, she would almost get into a fistfight with R''amir'', who would just try to light up a bundle of sticks on fire like a torch and stick it into a pile of leaves they gathered up previously. Finally, however, Iniris would win by walkover. That happened because Raheh'' almost got burned trying to separate them, which made R''amir'' concede out of fear of hurting a bystander.

3. Who forgot to bring ... anything? Even a bottle of water?

Does it count as forgetting if Cseni genuinely didn't bring anything because it doesn't believe it needs anything? Considering the fact the cast must be used to its idiosyncrasies, they have prepared in advance some additional rations for it. They had to force them on it, though, as it would not accept anything.

4. Who's roasting the marshmallows?

Briob, of course! Their exquisite chef education has prepared them for this moment, so the marshmallows will be absolutely perfect!

5. Who's telling the ghost stories?

At first it was Jauisz who would tell the ghost stories, but soon Kalik took over the right, butting into their every other word. When Kalik started telling them, the "ghost stories" quickly turned into the audience arguing over semantics, arguing that the story is not even scary and begging to stop describing Kalik's escapades. After Kalik, Taliaszh perks up and proposes that they will tell a scary story. It is so deeply bone-chilling that everyone pretends to be unaffected, but later struggle to fall asleep.

6. Who's ready for the campfire songs (and probably brought a set of instruments)?

Nrinne, Usuur and Groggs would all bring instruments (and Groggs would also bring a few bottles of their own alcohol to share with everyone) and, when the entire team is chilling around the campfire, they would start playing around together. Others would chime in with singing, of course!

7. Who's complaining about the bugs and the dirt?

I... I think most of them NJVKDSNGVDFJK. But the one person who would be the worst about it? I think... Wer. Wer is particularly loud about that and would ostentatiously clean his shoes, jacket and everything else as well as keep spraying everything with bug spray and carry a designated dirt blanket to put on anything he sits on.

8. Finally, who claims they can beat a bear if one found them, but is constantly on edge about something like that happening?

I think Iniris has asserted that, because of her training, she will protect everyone, but she would not want her words to be tested. He brought bear spray and keeps it under his hand. From the rest of the cast, R''amir'' would be the person who Actually could beat a bear.

Thank you for the tag! This was fun!!!
