MACES AND TALONS: CHAPTER 3

“Are you…” the man started to say, nearly a whisper. “Are you talking to me…?”

Enjoy!!! :D

What would a Jumanji AU look like for Danny and Tim?

[neurodivergent-fangirling]

Here’s another Dead Boy Detectives fanfic idea I’m not likely to actually write: the Jumanji AU. Edwin and Charles are the childhood friends from the past, and Edwin is the one who gets trapped in the game world for decades. Crystal and Niko are the orphaned kids in the present—Crystal is the one who keeps lying while Niko is the one who isn’t speaking to anyone—and Jenny is their aunt who is in over her head but doing her best to care for them. Instead of the game featuring a jungle like in the movies, it uses more supernatural elements from the show—witches, sea monsters, and so forth. Instead of Alan Parrish’s inner turmoil with his father and toxic masculinity reflected by the hunter character who keeps pursuing him, twist it to become the Cat King who keeps pursing Edwin and it reflects him running away from his feelings and sexuality, which he learns to accept by the end. Exact past and present eras TBD.

Jumanji AU 

"Jumanji is a magical game that able to send players into its jungle-like alternate reality or to send the dangers of said reality into the real world" 

 making this au together with @kaseyskat​

summary and designs

Sprig and Polly started game again

barely fighting off the mantis that appeared after Sprig's turn, Anne makes her second roll but must retreat with Plantars  to other room, until strange figure appears and attacks the mantis

after reunion with Anne, not so happy reunion with Marcy but they need her to finish the game, so they drag her from all the way back from other town's library

TLG Outlanders Jumanji AU that i have suddenly become obsessed with :) buckle up

i'm mainly basing this off of the 2017 movie, with elements of the 2019 one too

wema, tunu, dogo and kijana are playing when they find a hidden cave, they go in and they find lots of weird paintings on the wall and the floor. ever the inquisitive one, dogo steps into a circle in the middle and they all get sucked into... Jumanji?? or maybe in the TLG universe it's called Mchezo

the adults look for them. the leaders (plus kenge and sumu) and the idiots (plus mwoga, nne, tano and neema) go in two groups to search since the kids were missing for a while. the leaders find the hidden cave first as sumu noticed it in his small size. they get sucked in, and eventually the idiots find it after them

they turn into human versions upon entering the world. yeah they're pretty freaked out lmao

the premise is that they go through trials to "prove" themselves, at the risk of their 3 lives, to get to the final task of saving the kiddos. i'm thinking each of them get a task focused on their skills but all of them are at the will of it, aka any of them could lose a life in any trial

i think the Strengths & Weaknesses bit would be funny. kiburi has no weaknesses, he says smth like "I'm too good to be weak 😏" and then 'Pride' pops up hfgdhdh. tamka's weakness would be cake because i think it'd be funny. nduli's is picking up cool rocks. i would say goigoi's would be sleeping but he'd lose all 3 in an instant. the list goes on

reirei is mad because she gets the boring map-reader job lol, despite that she saves everyone's asses so

i imagine sumu is like Milo, he gives them the information in a really deadpan tone lmao. it's like "... Oh no..." "Spit it out, will you?!" "... Mandrills. We should go" and he just continues spilling knowledge while they're running for their lives lmao

you know how in the second movie Bethany/Milo is a horse? yeah nne and tano are straight up just themselves- they're hyenas but realistic, like they didn't change 💀 they're just there doing hyena laughs and absolutely savaging people in the fights

the ostrich scene from the second movie would be funny. maybe the hyenas are the drivers 👀 NONE of them trust their lives with janja, chungu or cheezi but somefuckinghow.. they don't die

in a trial where the leaders are really trapped, guess who sneaks in and saves them? Ushari!!! that was actually all of their reactions as soon as he spoke and they knew it was him. shupavu hugs him on impulse and then gets awkward about it lol, they're happy to see him

ushari explains how he didn't actually die when scar was destroyed but he escaped the volcano and happened across the hidden cave. he's been trapped ever since and obviously presumed dead. he's been stuck with 1 life because he needed the others to complete the rest of the trials :(

there's a dance fight where kiburi has to defeat the guards without being all guns blazing about it. literally the same as the scene with Martha. it's so funny at first bc he doesn't know what the fuck to do - i hc him as demi, he can't flirt with someone he doesn't know😭 - but when a song (prolly rap?) starts playing he beats their asses easy

little did they know the exact same thing was happening on the opposite side of the building, just with the idiots. tamka, nduli and neema also get their cool moment of beating people up, dance fight style! it's mainly tamka because he actually DOES have a strength in acting :)

the leaders and the idiots enter the building at the same time and it's an "Oh Shit!" spiderman pointing meme moment lmao. from this point on they do the trials together

the vultures fly the helicopters. you can imagine how well that goes. it's just like in the movie where something immediately breaks 😭 i think it'd be cool if kenge was the one to fix the helicopter, giving him a hero moment! imagine it

"Kenge, you did it! :D"

"Guess I did"

"Um... Oops"

"What Janja?"

"I dropped the jewel 😶"

"YOU WHAT?!?!"

janja loses a life in that scene from the rhinos 😭 do i wanna traumatise mzingo that much? idk. i just feel like that is such a janja thing to happen. fridge's character is janja-coded lmfao

"YOU PUSHED ME OUT THE HELICOPTER! >:("

that scene where fridge pushes spencer off a cliff? yeah that obviously happens. i'm thinking reirei and janja squabbling. would be funny if janja pushes reirei off impulsively and he just stands there, in shock, waiting to get yelled at when she respawns 😭

there's one of those Step On The Right Pieces trials. kiburi is being all cocky, steps on the wrong one and loses a life- bro gets absolutely humbled lmao. i think the skinks would be good at that trial for some reason

some random trial ideas: a "sleeping lions" type trial for goigoi. a "follow (copy) the leader" trial for mzingo. a food temptation one for the idiots??

jasiri definitely has a trial where she helps someone or shows that the "bad guy" NPCs can be good or somethin. that's probably the last trial before the finale

at the last trial they all work together to save the kiddos! it's really wholesome at the end because they saved the kids, they actually achieved something, they worked together, AND they got ushari back! :)

bonus:

based on the second movie, i was considering a different version of this au where janja purposefully enters the game to prove himself and it's more of a lesson of how it's not just about his strength, but the strength of all of them

janja just thinks he ain't good enough, especially not being leader of his clan anymore, but it's through working together when the others come after him that he realises that ain't true. just an extra thought i had :)

might make a follow up post because i came up with this in an afternoon just for fun 😭

So I watched 90s Jumanji the other day

[freedomforthewin]

What if we had a Fantastic Beasts in a Jumanji AU, where it's Kids Newt, Theseus, Tina, and Queenie playing the game. They're close in age. Theseus, Tina, and Queenie are terrified, but Newt is having the time of his life. When the stampede comes, he scrambles to watch it, but Theseus grabs the back of his shirt and pulls him back.

Jamie’s mind was whirling, trying to put this all together in his head. A boy who lived in the house? “What was his name?” he asked, confused. “The ghost’s name is…” Pippa looked around nervously, as if afraid of being overheard. She leaned in and hissed, “Jack Overland.” Jack… Overland? Jamie’s mind immediately went to that old door on the second floor, the one their mother had asked them to not go into. How the door had made her sad… It had been his uncle’s room.

Ayooo Chapter 2 of Maces and Talons is finally out!! Sorry for the wait, folks! <3
