Lizz, okay... Circus au for tulgey woods (with best cat girl of course)
👉👈 Do you mean one of my favorite au ideas?!!! I've been brain rotting this since I got the ask-
A circus full of runaways (with inspo from the Noah's Arc Circus from Kuroshitsuji)
Human au (so no beastfolk/monsters) but an Alice in Wonderland themed circus where performers are known by their "role" in the story instead of their real name
"Red Rose" aka Rose, the one who took over after the deaths of the previous ringleaders. And the oldest in the circus
"Glasses bird" aka Altair, the "big brother" of the circus. Rather than having an act he helps behind the scenes
"Jabberwocky" aka Jasper, the snake charmer (think Snake from Kuroshitsuji, "half snake"). The child of the previous ringleaders who was too young to take over.
"Jubjub bird" aka Jensen, the trapeze artist. Very snarky, prefers to be in the air and even when the show is not on he prefers to be hidden up high.
"Cheshire" aka Catherine, does aerial silks. Often argues with Jensen on who is the better aerial act. Part of her act goes dark for black lights
"Bandersnatch" aka Xander, the knife thrower. Very nervous and jumpy when not performing
"White Rose" aka Nathaniel, the tight rope walker. Always a show off, designs his own outfits
"Time" aka Viorel, does the Cyr wheel. Probably the most serious one in the whole circus. Has everyone timed and has them aim to keep the same length of performance every time
"Looking Glass" aka Chase, the beast tamer. Always makes his act more dangerous than the other members would like
But now I wanna draw this/work on this more. I adore the circus aesthetic and would love to try out how this would change current dynamics/ships that I have.
