hi hi! I was wondering if you’re going to bring your ISAT crow au back? Or has that been scrapped? Could also tell me more about crows lore in depth? Cause from what I’ve seen it’s certainly very interesting!

SCREAMS SO LOUD /POS

i legitimately made a noise when i saw this ask. i love my crow au.

before i answer this: my crow au / blessing au is very self indulgent!! i’m aware it doesn’t follow ISAT exactly. i just liked a bunch of ideas and slapped them on siffrin.

OKAY. MY BEAUTIFUL CROW AU. don’t look at me i rotate my birds in my head at very normal speeds— AH SHIT (i fall over and several birds fall out of my hands) MY CROWS

for the sake of this au, siffrin and the king are siblings. don’t look at my love for tragic siblings— no stop it don’t look over there.

now because i’m insane (and also i love birds and wings and— no i’m not crazy why would you suggest that,) there are sometimes people Blessed by the Universe (or the Change God, or Expressions, or ect.) these are people “destined” to serve a large purpose in their life, to change history somehow — of which i call them Destiny’s Children. for obvious reasons. i was very creative.

(yes, the party are all destiny’s children. the Saviors are all blessed. including bonnie.)

now, destiny’s children, as a result, are part bird. this is just. entirely self indulgent. i just like birds. my diegetic reasoning here is that a lot of birds are considered messengers of gods in a lot of myths and faiths and i feel this would translate well to ISAT. there can only be one KIND of bird at a time. siffrin is a swan, and their birth name is cygnus. the king is a crow, named corvus.

siffrin’s dad is part of the island’s royal guard — which is where he learns his rogue-like qualities, here. he is also wingless, but their mother is not. she’s a dove :) specifically a mourning dove.

(their parent’s names are hera and olympus. this is also self indulgent don’t look at me.)

anyways. siffrin runs away from home and the normal siffrin story and ect. over time, as he’s exposed to the King’s Curse and the loops, his wings get kind of… stained with all the Time Craft, and it turns them lightless. hence the crow part of crow siffrin. it’s a reference to the King. :3

(not that it’s super important, btw, but siffrin is a coscoroba swan, the king is a caledonian crow, and hera is specifically a reference to the caladrius.)

i haven't seen much of your crow guard au yet but I really like it. Are you planning for there to be a happy ending?

HELLO HI. MY FRIEND CYGNUS my crow guard au is very self indulgent so it’s always nice to see my self indulgent stuff catering to everyone else eheh.

cygnus gets a uh. lukewarm ending i’d say. i mean, freezing your brother forever isn’t exactly fun. especially since cygnus sees corvus becoming the king as a personal failure as a sibling.

but he gets the Family! they go on to travel together after everything :)
