Someone once called my sj thing "Lone Wolf And Cub au" and it changed my brain chemistry soooo
"Lone Wolf and Cub" is such a great name for my sj au - here's why:
(+ silly sketch)
First describes most of the au. Samurai Jack having to protect a child while wandering in some super dangerous landscape
The description of the trope fits them completely fr. Jack is the lonely stoic warrior and Mai's the bubbly scaredy cat baby. She's also wanted around because of her species' value
Also works for Aku?? Aku's not a "lone wolf" (at least not anymore) but also now he has to raise children
Much more explanatory than "paws of magic", also sounds kinda badass hehe. "PoM" name seems to be focused on mai only when the au's main characters are both jack and mai at the same time so yeah. Also POM sounds more fantasy esque and LWAC is more dramatic/serious idk
So yeah I'm most likely renaming the au LWAC hehe
that's it for today thank you for listening to rad talk
now we squeeze samuruy
