@ask-the-dweets turned two today!!! And since I have been in AU hell lately I thought I'd draw the boys in their most prominent AUs!!! This was so much work, but I did it!
OG, killer, cowboy (Red dead), Angel/Demon (GTA), post apocalypse (fallout), furry, merfolk, pirate (Sea of Thieves?), Soul Eater
Mermaids were brought up and, trust me, it did not take much for the merfolk brainrot to come back.... So now they have references!!
So uuh.... Have some fishy guys!! (they’re probably going to be in a few sketch dumps too....)
TFW some magical creature 'rescuers' drop a pretty obviously domesticated mer into the Ocean and can't even identify the necklace that's preventing him from speaking. Best of luck Fancy!!! I'm sure you'll be fiiiiiine, it's not like you've never been in the Ocean or anything.
I can't believe I have enough content I haven't shared to have a whole post just for Dandy (@dandy-dove) and Dwi's relationship in Demon/Angel AU
Dandy and Dwi have a very strange relationship XD
Dandelion is one of the only people Dwi is protective over and would consider an actual (as close as they get) friend. Their personalities are not really compatible at all but they met each other at the perfect time so Dwi turned out to enjoy the idiot's company.
Dwi is a very powerful Devil and Dandy is a nature/hope angel
For how little their imp forms appear in the demon/angel AU I sure like to draw them a ton
and that’s because they’re gosh dang cute, Easy to draw, and fit into cat memes!!!!!
They’re just slightly more intelligent cats with apposable thumbs

Imps
There are two different types of imps, and it can be hard to tell them apart sometimes
The first and most common form of an imp is a young demon, when they are new they tend to be small humanoid mischievous creatures who enjoy causing havoc,
overall they’re more of just a nuisance than an actual threat and can be easily dealt with if needed
The second form of an imp is a grown demon who has had their power suppressed
The best way to tell a young demon imp from an adult imp is by distinguishing features, young imps tend to be missing features that would make them stand out from others (tail spikes, specific horns, markings, colours, etc.)
This can be a band aid fix to deal with a demon if they are too powerful to exorcize
A grown imp is extremely durable,
in this form they may not have much power or magic but it’s also extremely unlikely you’d be able to kill the thing either.
Slice them to bits and they’ll just regenerate
Imps are unable to speak, tend to be relatively weak (strength wise), can hardly use any magic (if at all), and are normally around the size of a house cat
And by unable to speak I mean they can hiss, growl, chitter, natter, potentially purr and the like but they cannot form words
This also means that turning a demon into an imp is not useful if you are looking for information from them
Strong demons can turn lesser demons into imps temporarily as a display of power or if the demon is being annoying.
This does take a little bit of effort so it is unlikely a demon will just do it out of the blue
Demons can also turn themselves into imps as a safety measure, however; it’s not instant and they cannot control when they change back (normally after 1-2 days)
It's common for an adult imp to find a caretaker for themselves until they're back to normal, it's not necessary but is more comforting to the demon's little pea brain when they are vulnerable while sleeping (even if near impossible to kill)
If a Demon dies and is regenerated back at their pentagram they will be an imp if their energy was lost and they need to recuperate
Adult imps sleep a lot to regain energy to return to their normal form
They can be compared to cats with slightly higher intelligence and opposable thumbs (menaces)
In their imp forms they’re normally more mischievous and animalistic, like a young imp would be. They are basically stripped down to their bare bone instincts and personality.
A feisty demon might become more unbearable as an imp, a greedy one might start stealing and hoarding things they’ve found, a violent one may be very prone to attacking everything it sees, etc.
When a demon changes back after being an imp they can usually only remember bits and pieces, since they’re nearly feral cats it can be rather embarrassing or humiliating depending on what they did in pea brain mode
Angels naturally calm an adult imp as they are a being most likely to have done it in the first place. Adult imps are much more likely to behave themselves around an angel, fallen angels do not get the same treatment
Paisley Imp
Paisley is a little trouble maker, he likes to get into things he’s not supposed to and has an itch to set things on fire
You can stop him if you tell him not to, and if he knows he’s not supposed to you can catch him intently focused on something before he does it XD so it’s relatively easy to stop
If you do things with him though he can be pretty well behaved and easily wntertained since he is rather curious
Things like laser pointers, videos, and other cat/baby toys can entertain him
He’s active in short hyper-active bursts and then sleeps for a while before being hyper-active again
Rather warm to the touch, he’s probably pretty cozy to hold onto
He can set himself on fire and breathe it, even in his suppressed imp form. He’s not likely to do this but he might if he’s frustrated
The fire between his horns is harmless
Finley Imp
Finley is much calmer than Paisley for the most part
He’s more likely to be bothering his care-taker for affection than to be getting into things
Though that doesn’t mean he won’t get into things too
He’s highly likely to steal food, push things off ledges to get attention, and shred cardboard boxes
If you want him to stay out of things just let him cuddle you and you’re fine
Let him sit in your lap, ride on your shoulder, carry him, etc. and he won’t leave
Dwi Imp
A lot less feral than most imps
But highly likely to claw, bite, and use their tail as a whip if displeased
Don’t touch them, if they want something they’ll come to you sort of creature
They like to listen in to conversations and be brought out to simply watch, they don’t normally like to participate in things
They’re more likely to find somewhere private if they need to rest unless they’re alone with their care-taker then they might be willing to snuggle
They won’t normally get into anything that they wouldn’t need to, unless they’re doing it specifically to piss someone off
Most of their actions are out of spite rather than impulse
You could distract them with a fast moving toy, like a string toy or maybe a bug
