Here's a whole post thats a mix of MOTM!Rayman content I've done! Theres uhm... embarrassingly way more than this! ... like a lot! And I hope the people enjoy it!
Baby picture featuring @frechiiie 's MOTM!Conker... heh.... hey there pal...
I still don't know what to call Felix, Rayman, and Sonic's trio, honestly! They were THE clique ever of charmers with a side of annoying.
And of course, a reveal of Rayman's look for when he was a Star!
*crashes through the skylight feet first and lands dramatically, shards of glass showering around me in an unrealistic yet highly cinematic manner*

WISHWIP
(I really need to give this an actual name)
Probably my main WIP as you're reading this! Probably.
status: working on the script for it!
format: comic
worldbuilding/info
how do Creators, a Guide-
-basic concept is ‘what if art but superpowers’.
-less basic concept is; People who can use this world’s magic system are called Creators. There are 4 types of Creators; Withdrawers, Imbuers, Enhancers, and Invokers. Being a Creator is genetic, though it’s a recessive gene (like green eyes) so parents do not have to be Creators for their child to be.
-Imbuers are the most common and also the type general society is most unbothered by. Imbuers can embed special properties into anything they create, for example a sword that cannot break, a necklace that enhances the wearer’s hearing, or a food that heals.
-Withdrawers are the second most common, but the type regarded as most dangerous by general society. Withdrawers can bring things they create to life/into existence; said things can be controlled by their creator and are made out of whatever they’re created with.
-Enhancers are regarded as the least common type, and unlike the other two types of Creator, most Enhancers live in their own nation and do not interact with outsiders. Enhancers can enhance the art they perform, for example turning singing into a siren-like spell.
- Invokers are the most rare type of Creator, most people don’t believe they exist. Invokers can force things to happen by writing them down.

LIBRARIES
(it’s called this because it’s about libraries)
comment
status: status: rotating in my mind with the occasional note being taken
format: either a book or web serial idk
worldbuilding/info
so, what are the Libraries?-
~in essence, they’re… well, libraries.
~Specifically, cool fantasy libraries that don’t actually let you check out books.
~I suppose that would make them more of archives? IDK
~Anyway, the Libraries are run by Librarians, who have magic powers because this is a fantasy universe and I can do what I want.
~specifically, the Libraries’ founder figured out a way to make it so that the staff of each Library can use all the Gifts belonging to the Librarians of that particular Library.
~They also serve as sanctuaries in the same way that cathedrals used to.
(sidebar; what are ‘Gifts’-
~Basically, a long time ago, Something Happened.
~that made what are called Rifts; IE places where the world doesn’t quite… work right.
~Plants and animals that grow/live near the Rifts are Kind of Funky.
~as are people! This is how magic. Magic is called Gifts- you have one specific Gift; ie super-strength, flight, etc. Like superpowers, but fantasy. Ok sidebar over).
featuring-
~Sori doing her absolute best to deal with The Plot
~Mikka being very helpful and supportive of her.
~Firefly being… he’s Doing His Best alright, it’s not HIS fault (much).
~sort of the typical fantasy aesthetic that I’ve been failing at writing for quite a while! Finally it made it into a project. Woo!
~my general love of books
~flying library! No I don’t know how that works. Magic. Don’t ask me.
characters
SORI-
-the main character!
-Librarian
-i would be unsurprised to discover she is autistic
-no Gifts aside from the ones she gets from being a Librarian.
-[REDACTED]
-just vibing until the plot hits and she turns into the This is Fine meme (it is not fine)
MIKKA-
-another main character
-traveling mercenary who has been staying at Sori’s Library for a while now
-considering becoming a Librarian himself
-Sori’s best friend.
-also non-Gifted. but he has a sword.
-generally just a chill guy
-absolutely could kill you though. But why would he. That would be mean.
‘FIREFLY’-
-that’s totally his real name dw guyss
-arrives at Sori’s Library and stays there for No Particular Reason He’s Not Hiding From Anything Trust Me Guys
-also non-Gifted, but he is an alchemist.
-(that probably means something different from what you’re thinking)
-he might not be succeeding but he sure is Trying
MORE PROTAGONISTS (WHO GET HERE LATER ON)
TAI
-Nin’s sister
-bark is bigger than her bite
-non-Gifted but not exactly a normal human either (catgirl)

FALLENSTARS
(I should probably make an actual name for this but I kinda like fallenstars NGL)
The probably-prologue of this is on my Wordpress (carolinaauthor.wordpress.com) if you want to read iiiit~
status: hmmformat: mmyeah web serial
worldbuilding/info
so why is this called fallenstars?-
~Long long ago, the stars fell from the sky
~Significantly less long ago, Rekha and Ven found them.
~Or at least, they THINK they found them.
~An expedition is being had to figure out if they are right.
featuring-
~shenanigans. many shenanigans.
~me trapping Vivian and Arielle in a cave-in for the simple reason that that is the ONLY WAY to get them to HAVE A CONVERSATION
~Jai being a Little Guy (who could kill you).
~did I mention names have power? because they do
~everyone in this project has a whole handful of names that they use for different purposes
‘magic’ system-
~With either training or immense peril, a human can connect to the aether.
~Once they’ve done that, they fit into one of three categories, and then can Do The Magic In That Category.
~Also there’s Elders.
~Elders are people who have managed to gather a lot of power in one way or another, and now can do special things. Also they live for 1000 years; hence the Elder part.
~Elders can ‘sponsor’ people if they have their names, which means they can grant them some abilities and what-not.
~Also, names hold power. Be careful.

THE GOLDEN CITY
(has an actual title 👍)
(I might change it though)
the oldest WIP in this slideshow!
status: being rewritten
format: text 👍)
worldbuilding/info
featuring-
~me having done way too much worldbuilding that will probably never show up
~Seriously I literally know the different countries’ burial practices When will this be useful.
~Felix responding to being in dangerous situations by either miraculously wriggling out of any consequences whatsoever, or making things significantly worse for himself.
~Felix being mentally unstable and trying to convince himself This Is Fine
~Helen having both my and Felix’s complete and utter adoration. she’s great I love her
~heists! a quest!! adventure!
~Valentin just generally being a stand up good chap
~the plot expanding and elaborating on itself with a rapidity that both surprises and intimdates me
here have some random worldbuilding info
-there are 4 countries, Solace, Ketra, Shyi, and Amora. Amora is not technically a country. It’s complicated. There is also Tali, which is conquered by Solace and technically not a country but that’s also complicated to be honest.
-Solace is the most relevant because that’s where the protagonists are. The capital of Solace is Solace. It is also called The Golden City because that is confusing.
-Solace and Shyi do not get along. Solace and Ketra have a treaty and generally get along. Shyi and Ketra do not get along (Shyi is mad because they tried to conquer Ketra and it didn’t work). The Amorians do not get along with anyone, though this is rarely their fault.
-A few decades ago, Solace had a civil war wherein they swapped out their old royal family for a new royal family. This part is very relevant to the plot.
characters
FELIX ROSE-
-~the protagonist~
-Look it’s not HIS fault he wound up getting into a contract with the Shady Underground that is as a result getting him blackmailed to start a civil war
-OK, maybe the first part of that might be a little bit his fault.
-He’s Doing His Best, alright.
-chronic charmer
-dating Helen (one of his greatest achievements)
SHANNON ROSE-
-Felix’s younger twin brother
-scholar
-busy Doing Research
-bit naive to be honest.
-we love him anyway
-just a Little Guy
-can really hold a grudge
-really looks up to Felix, good thing Fe isn’t, say, hiding any incredibly big secrets that have the potential to shatter their relationship, right? :)
HELEN WHITEHALL-
-a goddess among women
-(alright maybe I’m being a little dramatic)
-Dating Felix.
-pureblooded Solite noble
-not supposed to be dating Felix, who is half Amorian. currently ignoring that.
-significantly more prone to shenanigans and mischief than anyone really guesses
-i love her
BRICRIU CALLAN
-friend of Felix’s
-morally grey af
-great fun to write
VALENTIN
-cinnamon roll of a boy
-baffled by the plot but doing his best anyway
TAYLOR/TAY

RAZ LAMORA
-oh you sweet summer child
-i apologize in advance
NIKOLAI CAHILL
-The Prince
-generally a nice guy

MERCY CITY
(no real title yet)
status: hmmmmmmmmmmmm
format: web serial probably
worldbuilding/info
i explain affinities to you-
~So basically, everyone in this world is born with what is called an Affinity.
~This means they can manipulate a little bit of the world (which little bit depends on the affinity).
~list of affinities; fire, water, air, earth, growth, decay, light, animal, aether, sight, humanity, city, fortune, and enhancement.
~Affinities are heriditary and not recessive (IE, if your parents both have fire affinities, so will you), except for the Family Affinities.
~’but Rose what’s a Family Affinity’
~Basically, there’s four families (Solena, Lune, Maris, and Itris) who hav affinities that belong only to them. Within the families, they work as above, but once you get a generation removed from the main bloodline, their affinities (humanity, city, fortune, and enhancement) mysteriously just. Stop appearing. Nobody knows why that is.
~I reiterate, everyone has an affinity!
~except sometimes they don’t.
~except sometimes they have aether (can manipulate everything) which is actually VERY BAD.
~this brings us to the plot.
The Plot-
~meet Felice and Kiseki, they’re the protagonists and also twins
~Felice has No Affinity!
~(Felice does not need an affinity, she has a gun)
~(this is surprisingly effective because nobody thinks about guns when they have, say, Magic Fire)
~(Magic Fire is quite a bad defense against being shot, unfortunately for People Who Are Not Felice)
~Kiseki has Aether! This is bad. It means he is probably going to explode, and should really already have done so
~Felice would like that not to happen, thank you very much.
~They are on the hunt for an artifact that is supposed to help with Kiseki not exploding
~They arrive in Mercy City on their search, and are immediately sidetracked by the ridiculous amount of people with agendas in this book.
characters
FELICE VENTURA-
-hey remember her she’s the main character
-as previously mentioned, No Affinity
-this does not make much of an effect on her in any way concievable
-it does make it a bit of a pain to get through customs though, as she has to convince them she’s not hiding an affinity in her pants somehow. that usually takes a bit.
-knows how to pilot a bunch of things
KISEKI TERRIS-
-hey remember him he’s also the main character
-as previously mentioned, has Aether
-this means he can manipulate the aether. this means a lot of things.
-most relevantly, this means he should really have exploded by now since the human body isn’t designed to handle that much energy
-constantly wears affinity surpressors, which is very uncomfortable for him
-also a pain to get through customs
CADEN SOLENA-
-i love him dearly & want to put him in a blender <3
-charming bastard
-heir to the Solena family, has the Solena affinity of Humanity.
-this means he can heal and/or brainwash people.
SOPHIE LLYR
-Caden’s braincells & moral compass
-scholar
-has the affinity of Air
-she can fly!
THOMAS DARIS
-Joy’s bodyguard.
-very nice
-has the affinity of Fire
-former soldier. really badass.
JOY ITRIS
-heir to the Itris family, has the Itris affinity of Enhancement
-this means she’s basically an enhanced version of a human
-little menace /affectionate
some Other People-
Vega Maris
Addison Maris
Hope Lilia
May Lily Fleuria
Itri Stellarion
Asteria Cortia
Wynn Diamis
Prism Ilia

SKY PIRATES
(this was called ‘chasing butterflies’ in an earlier draft, and I do really like that name so I’m probably going to use it again)
(this is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin 👍)
status: currently not working on this one
format: book with illustrations
worldbuilding/info
featuring-
~post-apocalyptic setting with the wrecks of modern cities scattered about.
(post-apocalyptic is a very fun word to say)
~people called scrappers who go into the ruined cities and collect useful stuff to bring back to the new cities
~a majority of scrappers are teenagers since being a scrapper means you need to be small and agile, and more teenagers fit that description than adults.
~it’s been a while since the Cataclysm (the apocalypse part of post-apocalyptic) so there’s a pretty thriving society set up with a rather baffling mixture of technologies
~the main cast are a scrapping crew
~they live in a flying ship! with wings! (thank you @cloudsthatglowinthenightsky)
~also there’s the Mist. It’s… well it’s mist. But like. Magical mist. It’s concentrated around the old cities for some reason.
~spending time in or near the Mist isn’t good for humans. It makes you a bit funky (and also kills you if you stay in it long enough)
~most scrappers are a bit funky
~Lute is Oddly Normal when you consider that. I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything
~also there’s pirates. forgot to mention that. they steal things from scrappers mostly
rapid-fire chaotic description of the plot-
~the cast is just vibing
~they stop at a port to get supplies
~Lute goes for a little walk
~SURPRISE SUDDENLY THERE’S A GIRL
~the Sudden Girl is running away from the soldiers
~Lute can appreciate that, so he helps
~crew is now +1 Mysterious Girl!
~Mysterious Girl can manipulate the Mist????
~she needs to go to some Old Ruins for Magic Reasons???
~there are three different factions who want to kill and/or enslave her
~OK WE’RE GOING ON A QUEST NOW I GUESS
characters
LUTE-
-the main character! from the last slide. you remember him right
-one of the three actual scrappers of the crew
-artist (I plan to use this blatantly to put illustrations into the book)
-so normal that it might actually be suspicious at this point
VANYA-
-the ship’s captain
-about ten seconds away from a mental breakdown on a good day
-one of his hobbies is pretending He’s Fine
-he has done so successfully enough to that he also believes He’s Fine.
-He’s Not, Actually.
-’ship in a bottle’ by stefan argus coded
?-
-the Sudden Girl from the last slide
-I. I haven’t named her yet. im sorry
-can manipulate the Mist
-comes equipped with a Backstory and Motives
-she’s fiiiiiine
BLAKE-
-the ship’s pilot
-also pilots various drones (used for looking for useful things to scrap)
-also fixes the ship when required
-considers himself very underappreciated for how much he Does Around Here
ROBIN-
-the ship’s medic
-also one of the actual scrappers
-also cooks
-if anyone hurt her the rest of the crew would Kill Them Immediately
-will absolutely beat you up if you don’t pay attention to her Medical Instructions
CHESS-
-third scrapper of the crew
-lifts heavy things
-(lute and robin are both short, so you can imagine they require assistance on that front)
-he’s here to have a good time not a long time
currently unnamed pirate captain
-you know how some characters/people you just post a picture of and the entire comment section is just ‘not to be a lesbian but’ and ‘step on me’? yeah that’s her
-also she’s evil. btw.
I personally prefer a darker reason for Dream eating the apple. Either that or baby boy has WAY too much pent-up negativity and SNAPS. (I am evil and no I'm not sorry. Dream is a fun character to experiment with).
Shade needed his family and said family was not there for him. Desperation and fear drove him to do the unthinkable. To willingly SHATTER himself. Alone, afraid and out of options he ate the apple.
GUYS I have a really really reaaaaaaaaaaaaally cool thing to tell yall, I never had any birthmarks in my left arm (actually just one), I always fel very connected to Aesteria even tho we dont work together I always talk to her, I like to say good night, and like before yesterday I woke and where THREE that look PERFECTLY like the constellation three sisters (its my favorite constelation since I was little, I would go outside just to try to find it and I would be SO HAPPY when I was able to see it, adn as I grew up I continue to love and see this constellations would ALWAYS makes me smile). Well, I just felt like she was there and there was only one star in the sky and I was really happy cs has been a while since I saw any star. And the next day this happened. I KNOW THERE IS 1000000000000000 DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS AND PROBABLY MOSTLY ITS JUST A COINCIDENCE but made me really happy and I wanted to tell yall here cs in my mind yall are my friends and I like to tell this silly things that makes me happy lol
was just this byeeeeee, I have to study for my Uni now, hope yall are good
This was written by one of the original founders of this AU, thank the lord for them writing this! Or else I would’ve honestly forgotten about it.
The monsters are banished underground, like usual.
Chara falls down and befriends the Dreemurr family.
Two mercenaries are hired by the humans to go kill the monsters and cause havoc.
The mercenaries take many lives, but with the help of many monsters along with Chara, they are defeated.
Asgore, enraged with this, absorbs their souls and leaves the underground to slaughter more humans and take their souls, to free the underground and start a second war.
Asgore fails and gets horribly injured, fleeing to the underground again.
The humans gain contact with the monsters and ask them to gather at the barrier so a peace treaty may be signed.
The monsters do as they are told, Chara along with them.
The human mages then do a surprise attack on the group of monsters, banishing them into space for their crimes against humankind through a magical portal.
Many monsters did not survive before a safe environment was created on the asteroid they landed on.
Cut to a few months later…
Chara convinces Asriel to kill them and take their soul, so they can travel to the surface and reap the souls of the reckless humans who killed so many innocent lives for their own selfishness.
Asriel does so, and leaves through the portal and the barrier.
Asriel was very pacifistic, and he couldn’t bring himself to hurt people, even though they hurt him.
This led to his death.
He escaped back to space just in time to die in his mother’s arms.
This was the last straw for Asgore.
Asgore demanded Alphys to install a mechanism inside of the asteroid they were stranded on. Should the mechanism gain enough power, power that they’d gain from human SOULs, it would activate rockets that would force the asteroid into Earth. A suicide mission. Asgore felt he had no other option. He had to do it. For himself. For his kind.
For Asriel.
Last chapter of Fallen Stars (book 1) might be shorter than the other ones... I finished it but I don’t know if I’m happy with it being so short (2044 words). I will proofread it tomorrow and I’ll try to see if I write it longer or if I add an Epilogue before starting the second book 😋
.Space Witch. Her name is Najma and she takes care of the stars and put them up ❤ She's very clumsy and daydream a lot. And when she's on the earth likes to watch the night sky without thinking about anything. Hello! I'm sooo tired, but I'd really like to feel asleep under the stars 🌟☄ My cutiepatootie said that's how fallen stars are made 😂 #copicmarkers #copic #sketch #sketchbook #ink #spacewitch #space #witch #star #stars #fallenstars #clumsy #fallen #crow
