-hey buddy...Didn't you happen to be indignant at my friend at the subway cash registers, huh?

-oh no, I've never been to a subway and...

this is an excerpt from a small fanfic made for fun :Р

And now it's time for another round of questions :D Flee: There has been enough angst with all the implications of all the messed up things that happen in the burrows communities thus far, and as such in order to recover a little I'll make a question that goes more towards fluff now. Has there been any moment where our dear found family has been able to show off their teamwork with all their might and get a positive response from anyone witnessing them? Like, I know that they'll eventually make enough friends that such a thing will be common, but with a stranger? SWUP: Everyone's reactions on Derrick if possible please, because even though he might be careful enough to not be seen by anyone, I can already imagine James (Was he the one interested in aliens and all things related like a conspiracy theorist?) being between over the moon for another alien race that he can look from afar (I'd say study, but considering how dangerous Derrick is, it's better to not get too close), and Vicky stressing herself out into keeping him far from him when she isn't busy in a fight or, worse, fighting Derrick himself XD LuckyBen!AU: Would Ben (nekomata), Gwen, Kevin and/or Rook ever try ranching out in anything they do? Like, perhaps Ben has a youtube channel where he does tutorials into some exotic coffees (different from the ones he does in the coffee shop though (unless his boss watches his channel and chooses to make them too :V ) ), Gwen perhaps taking in an intern or 2 to teach them the ins and out of alien ambassy so she can have her workload loosened up a bit, Kevin pirating programs because, let's face it, he would totally do that if only to screw with the owners and probably steal some money from them in the progress, and Rook could write a humans guidebook, like the one used in the tag "Humans are Space Orcs" XD Gecko: Let's leave the characters for a bit and make an ask about the town itself, how is the situation in that place? I imagine that they have a very peculiar customs regarding their situation, as well as some... interesting idiosincrasies between the townspeople that I don't doubt would look very sketchy among the outsiders (I can think of an example from another show that isn't really exploited that much in fanfic but I don't wanna accidently drag you into another fandom XD) And that's all I got to say for today, let's see what you come up with for these asks now :3

OOp sorry about the delay

A lot of stuff happened- good stuff. Kept me off the computer for a bit

Anyways I'll be bouncing on again to answer your lovely questions!

FLEE: I would deffinitely say that Leo and Tristians protective elder brothers trope over Robin has been a thing. Robin may be a savage child but that won't stop the pair from using their own bodys as meat shields to protect her. It took Leo a while to get to that point.

As for the rest of the potential members, I haven't thought too much into it- I'll deff think about it now though.

With strangers, Tristians a lot more friendly, willing to help. It makes him very naive and suseptable to possible kidnappings/robberys.

But Leo is there to kick ass, and Robin is there to bit ankles.

SWUP: James is in LOVE with Derrick. An alien? a possible anti-hero!? Oh my god. He swoons. It's just like his one comic book about the anti-hero alien dude. James must know more. James must... Become his friend.

Derrick's a lil creeped out, but is happy to accept any and all compliments. The little narcisist he is.

James' Police dad (i forgot what i called him ;;; ). Has no clue of Derricks existence. Derrick is right under his nose like a bad smell. But he just can't find the source of the chaos. So naturally he'll blame it on SWUP.

Sara doesn't know whether to like him or not, he runs circles around poor SWUP, but does he mean any harm? He's never hurt SWUP... I mean he has, but SWUP recovers fast. And the way SWUP acts around Derrick makes Sara just... confused. She's neutral, so maybe he's ok?

Courtney despises Derrick. He commits crimes? Illegal, bad. How dare he. He must be arrested. Does he have a license for flying? No? Illegal. Must be arrested. He parks in a spot with paying for a ticket. Ooh. He must be jailed.

Charlie. Like James, loves Derrick. But to a lesser extent, James is Charlies numero uno!

And of course poor... poor Vicky has to do her best to keep everyone away from Derrick. Easier said than done.

LuckyBen!AU: Ben has no online persona. Too paranoid- if someone were to recognise him through the way he talks it's over.

Of course Gwen is happy to teach new recruits. She doesn't do it often cause she's required to be upfront on the battle field. She normally just volunteers in her free time.

Rook is the same, all work no play- except for the times he goes to see his family or grab a coffee.

Kevin would so do that. Loves his tech, loves his computers- a little bit of a nerd- but if it makes his tech work better, faster, stronger, he'll do it.

GECKO: The people are quite blissfully ignorant to the outside world. Their normal is our strange. Of course they don't see the odditys Mac has run into, unless they somehow do. Of course they're a secretive people, so you never know if they actually know.

They're also very friendly, offering newcomers (MAC) free snacks as he gets settled into the neighbour.

Unless you meet Hamish. One of Macs coworkers. Great guy, friendly, talks a lot. You think he's full of shit, like how continues to brag about his sexy hot beautiful girlfriend. But he's actually telling the truth.

He also talks about a lot of disappearences that happen to tourists/newcomers. He doesn't elaborate. He says it so easily it sounds like it's normal.

Does Hamish know more than what he lets on?

There's also Macs landlady. She's a little harsh- she lives on her own in the outskirts of the town. She knew Mac's mum as a kid. She mentioned at one point that there are more people that houses in this town. Of course Mac thought she meant there was a homeless problem. But as Mac grew to know the town better, there would be no homeless. The streets were empty after dark.

Most people discourage going out after dark.

There's something in the woods. Watching.

(DO TELL ME ABOUT THIS SHOW. PERHAPS IVE HEARD OF IT)

Again sorry for the delay, life is busy.

[siren-virus]

And now, it's time for the next batch of asks for you about all of the things you've done that I'm keeping up with XD FLEE: right now we've got the first of potentially many many MANY fucked up things that happen in the vast wastelands with Leo's backstory of running away from his fiancee to avoid being chained down to the community he was residing in thanks to his flight. Would you mind telling us another thing that's normal for their society but it's still pretty fucked up? Or in case you haven't thought of any yet, how would that community react to him should the group ever have to get there or nearby? SWUP: I can already see poor SWUP (I gotta re-read the asks I've sent you if only to remember everyone's names XD) being both worried sick about Derrick and done with his shit once he has settled down as something more of a regular part of her band of rougues instead of just an enemy that might pop up whenever to ruin all of her stuff and kick her ass XD I can see her being similar to Ben against most of the regular enemies in Omniverse, in that she'd be tired of his shit after a while and just wants to get everything done to go back to her regular day to day life LuckyBen!AU: Ooohhhh, Ben using his position as granchild of a magistrate would be very interesting, considering that he could most likely use that as a way to get into more secure places without trouble, or perhaps troll some Plumbers into thinking that he's there as a representative since his dear old grandpa couldn't make it due to unforseen circumstances, or as a surprise inspection :V Also lol, Hex knowing Ben is Nekomata and doing absolutely nothing with that info. Like, what would he do, tell the Plumbers? Please, he's also in their wanted list. Tell another criminal to hunt him down? Why? He takes care of the competition pretty well. Let him be a playmate of Charmcaster so he can have some time for himself? If only the girl knew his identity, though watching the teen dance around her about it is plenty fun in it's own right XD Gecko: Who are Kai and Crystal? From what I recall you haven't said anything about them before, or perhaps you've said something about them and I just missed the posts :V Anyways, can we know a bit more about them please? And that's all I have to ask for this asks, I'll see you when you reply to this and I begin thinking of new questions once that's been done XD

Eyo welcome back

I'll get right into it

FLEE: Certainly! There's the whole selective breeding- or forced marriages thing happen in most burrows. Some are a little more encouraging of free will than others.

In Leo's specific burrow community- humans are killed on site- doesn't matter if they're weak, injured, elderly or an infant.

Sometimes if a hybrid were to give birth to a normal- human looking child that doesn't have any mutated features- they're killed instantly.

For people with Wings like Leo- they're forced to go off on their own to search for food and water- even if they're quite old or young. I guess they're the seekers. If they're injured in the process they're still sent out- unless they've lost all capability of flight.

There's limited resources, so if they're permanantly downed and can't reproduce- they're killed. Same goes for any other hybrid- however if they've recieved a permanant disability they're killed off- not even kept alive to care for children.

It's a harsh world- but with limited food and water, it's just what they have to do.

Fortunately The group have not encountered Leo's home YET. Zara's burrow is a little kinder.

SWUP: Yes!! It's a love hate relationship between the 2. Derricks really likes to stir the pot with her.

She's so over it, wants to get smoothies and chilli frie- oops wrong show. jkjk

But yeah, SWUP doesn't have many reoccuring enemies- she's a very strong woman and an encounter with her usually ends up with her enemy being scarred--- physically or mentally in the worst way.

Sometimes it's intentional. Other times, she just looks so scary her enemies will piss themselves in fear.

LuckyBen!AU: He doesn't use his grandpas position often. Of course it doesn mean discounted flights- hehe- Plumbers would bend over backwards to help him get to locations thinking it would benefit them and their own positions.

And yes some trolling is done- but it's far and few between.

He also takes advantage of the plumbers who really like to gossip about secret missions. Most plumbers assume he's in the know.

Exactly, Hex has know reason to see Ben as a threat, maybe a tad bit annoying, but it's like having a nephew. Often he'll tell Ben to "play nice" with Charmcaster- I mean Charmcaster is a little bit like a loaded gun at times, tad bit unhinged- but less crazy then the OG verse.

Hex hates it when Charmcaster barges in on him to bitch about Nekomata.

GECKO: ooH, my bad ;; Kai and Crystal were the two other people in the trailer. Yes Gecko has a trio/quadro main character group.

Crystal a little bit unhinged herself, and crazy strong- loves a laugh and is just a goofy girl.

Kai is a little more uptight- like there's a stick up his ass. He's so strict and well maintained that it's irritating.

Crystal does everything in her power to push his buttons. Sometimes it works out, cause Kai loosens up, maybe has a laugh too. Sometimes it ends up with Kai using Mac as a meat sheild.

Together these two are Mac's worst nightmare. They torment him on a regular. They might both be hot- but god. Please leave poor Mac alone, he's going to go grey before he's 25!!

They're both fun characters though, they mean no harm... kind of. They're also quite protective of Mac. They're basically all the same age, but because Mac got his gecko a lot later than everyone else- the usual age is like 6-12years old- he's like a baby to them.

Thanks again for asking!!

[siren-virus]

I don’t like posting OC stuff here cause it doesn’t get the same love my fanart does,,, however I really like this and I gotta show it off.

Art + OC @siren-virus

pls don’t repost without permission

[siren-virus]

and It's time for another round of questions :D Flee: Have you thought of any character that may become a character foil for anyone in the found family? In the absence of such characters (whether because of choice or not) then could you deepen a bit how the group foil each other please? SWUP: From what I gathered of Derrick thus far, he would essentially be something akin to an inspector, sent to Earth to learn about one thing only to discover another one, potentially un-Earth-ing (sorry excuse of a pun totally intended) a conspiracy of the enemy goverment that might help tip the scales of the "non" alliances of the neutral third parties that take part of this war. Of course, as long as the Dragons don't have a conspiracy of their own that might tip thing in facour of the Unicorns XD LuckyBen!AU: Would Ben ever expand his information network outside Undertown? Like, he lives and work there, but he also has his job as Nekomata both inside and outside of the underground city, so of course he would have to know more about what happen outside as well; there's Charmcaster, Hex, the Forever Knights, Animo, Invaders from outer space, etc... What I'm saying is, would Ben use his coffee employee/information brooker persona to expand on his information network, or would he do that as Nekomata? Gecko: Did you manage to get more ideas for Gecko after I sent the last ask? Anyways here's the question intended to be answered with something specific instead of just a vague answer XD Is there any visual indicator whenever anyone is using the powers gained from their Geckos? Also I'm assuming that the sock puppet in the trailer is Skittles XD And that's it for today, hope you have a wonderful day/week and I'll send another ask next time, you know already when to expect it XD

Hey duuuude, really sorry about the delay

Had no internet and no space to work for the last few weeks!!

Anyways I'll dive right into your questions, I've made you wait long enough!!

FLEE:

I haven't thought that far ahead as to adding more characters to the family. But I'd say Leo would deffinitely be a foil to the found family the most. He's got severe mummy and daddy issues. Also pretty bad trust issues.

Did I ever mention he had a fiance he left? Cause he did. She's pretty pissed too. But she's a good lady. Not kind hearted though, she's just as nasty as Leo, if not worse.

I'll add this little tidbit-

To keep the flying-type hybrids living there's this whole forced marriage thing. They gotta keep that gene thriving. Going outside of it you could have a baby that has no ability to fly- rip. Resources are thinning out so if that happens- well.... they'd be killed.

SWUP:

Derricks an investigator in his heart. He's actually from a well-off family that's free from the war (cause they got moneyyy to pay for him not to be inovolved.)

However Derrick still does his best to distance himself from his family. He wants to help put a stop to the war- so he's essentially joined up with the rebellion.

Love the pun- keep at it.

He was sent to Earth- because its an unassuming planet where it's dominant species hasn't even made it to lightspeed. It's the safest option. If the son of a noble family were to die- well. You know.

However as he ended up on Earth he found that the war is somehow linked to this planet.

Now his interest is peaked at SWUP- human turned unicorn lady. She knows nothing- but he's still gonna harass her for any info.

Not to say he'd be kind about it either. He's a pretty scary dragon.

Dragons have their own little secret too- not turning other species into weapons- they're a little more kinder about that. There's is more based around other kinds of weaponry.

LuckyBen!AU:

IF and when Ben gets the chance to travel outside of Bellwood for long periods of time- he'd deffinitely use his personality to his advantage- picking up odd jobs in "unassuming places". Maybe coffee related maybe not.

The perks of being the grandson of a magister means that he can get jobs in alien-run places.

He's even worked under Hex as an assistant- Yes, Hex knows his identity. Hard to hide a strong amount of Mana when you're made of it. Charmcaster surprisingly doesn't- she's not a bright light.

GECKO:

Yes I did. I found that working in an out of order episodic form helps. I got a story about an abandoned meat factory, an axe weilding murderer, a centipede house wife--- oh what fun! I can tell you bits and pieces about the meat factory!

Crystal and Kai are part of an organisation- intelligently named Gecko. It's secret- but since Mac has been kind of forced into it by association with his gecko, he's been dragged along.

Kai says for training. Crystal says- "Kai's so boring on missions, like there's some kind of stick up his ass."

Inside the meat factory is a bit of a mystery- it was shut down three years ago because the owner mysteriously died. The meat factory was abandoned shortly after- believed to be haunted.

Oooohh what happens you ask! Let me type it out in a comprehensible format ;;;

Maybe I should just write a book ;;

As for the visual indicator- most Gecko hosts don't have any changes- cause the Gecko is basically melded into their brains.

But Mac is different- as protagonists would be-- His Gecko has it's own personality- So for Mac- When Skittles takes over, Mac's eyes change colour and shape to match the gecko.

And yes the sock puppet is Skittles. It's basically a visual gag I wanted to use- so it didn't look like Mac was talking to himself.

He also has some interesting mirror conversations- it's easier to use the sock puppet though. Mac hates it when Skittles trys to express himself through Macs face.

AGAIN SORRY FOR THE DELAYYY I'M NOT DEAD i SWEAR!!

[siren-virus]

welp, I really need to get back to the rythm of asking you questions, I can't just keep forgeting doing that and ask only every days or so XD

Anyways, after the wip of the Flee animatic that I overanalyzed a lot, I have to ask, who has the most experience patching up wounds in the trio? I can't decied between Robin, feral boy who actually lives in the wilderness and has been hurt a lot before most definetly, or Tristian who might have medical studies from his time in the Dome before leaving for the big adventure. Also, how many times do they have to patch up Leo?

SWUP now, you mentioned that she works at a gym, in which position does she work in? janitor, trainer, reseptionist, accountant, manager, something else? I admit I'm not familiar with the job hierarchy and only threw in some random jobs that might pop in a gym XD perhaps James could be the friend that helps Vicky keep the secret of her being an unicorn alien and keeping both identities separate once it's found out that there are aliens in the sector? After all, with the ammount of damage that pile up from her apparent fights, I doubt that it won't spread the fact that said damages are being caused by aliens, monsters or cryptids depending on the source XD

Welp, this one is short, but I'm already tired and wanting to sleep, so I'll leave it up to here for now, I can't think coherent thoughts anymore to make more questions XD See ya next ask or comment on one of your posts :D

Hey sorry for getting back to you so late,

got a bit distracted with life and stuff

ANYWAYS

Thought I'd also respond to your comments on my animation meme here too - keep it neat and tidy

So I'll be honest with you; I didn't think too deeply when making it, I just wanted to show shots of different times that are impactful to Leo.

The first one is when he leaves home for the last time, a look back

second shot is him being hunted

the third (along with the different versions) is a harsh lesson he had to learn about the outside world. (vague I know)

The last one - poorly animated (;;;) is him looking back to Tristian and Robin, he doesn't hate them, doesn't like them. He's just neutral.

I really do love your analysis though. Might try to think a little deeper for the next animation ;;;;;

NOW ONTO YOUR QUESTION

The one with the most experience with the patching is Leo, however he's really rough and oftens leads to injuries getting worse, so Tristian generally takes control of that. He has experience with helping animals within the dome, especially the birds.

Leo is usually the leader of the group, and puts himself in harms way more often than not, his self preservations skills aren't that great... He's learning though.

For SWUP, Vicky works as a trainer, general training newbies and the occassional loyal gym junkies. If she's not training she's the receptionist. From my experience with gyms, they're usually unmanaged, maybe you'll have a trainer there or someone to help out during certain hours of the day.

Oh yeah, James deffinitely helps keep her secret, when SWUP/vicky gets flustered she kind of spouts random things, If she's not careful she can let loose a secret, so James is there to direct the conversation elsewhere

She'd also want to kepe it a secret with all the costs from the damage. You know? super heroing is expensive.

Thank you again for keeping up with asks I really appreciate it! I appreciate you!

[siren-virus]

Time for an ask now :D sent a day later than the schedule I was SUPPOSED to have but I suck at them XD

First is SWUP, you said that both Unicorns and Dragons are aliens that are apparently at war with one another. Like, they're from different planets and are waging wars over resources/colonies/bad first encounter/something else, or are they from the same planet and evolved together to be both space travelers, but their situation is similar to that of the USA and the Soviet Union, where they're raceing eachother and fighting over economical and political might?

Also, since there are Unicorns that are being sent to Earth only to return later, would there be Dragons there too? Would there ver be an encounter between the protagonist (I forgot her name XD) and a Dragon or another Unicorn besides Wine Aunt? Would some of the friend ever encounter and befriend a Dragon, either by being their friend despite having both of them meet and beat eachother? Or my favourite scenario in this case, be friends with both of them with them never finding out about it? XD

Now it's Free time (nice name btw, I can get a few vibes from that alone :D), the idea with the best trope to ever exist, found family (I'm also a sucker for those XD)

We have the protagonists (whose names I forgot yet again XD), the owner of the braincell bird lady, naive and overly curious problem human (and potential human disaster too since he live in a Dome, and was probably born with a silver spoon), and feral child (there can't be a better description for that XD). How many headaches would bird lady have a day when dealing with both of them at the same time? How would problem human interact with feral child? I can't imagine those interactions being peaceful most of the time. Would the feral child eventually come to see the other 2 as their parental figures? Accidently calling them mom and dad (or any other variation) in their misadventures?

Would the found family ever expand? would there be additions in the form of crazy uncle, stoic aunt, murder cousin, and/or more? Like, I can imagine their family expanding over time the same style as FMA:B, where they meet people that eventually become family to everyone, but considering that they're always traveling, they rarely find eachother (until the possible falldown once they reach the Dome at the end of the voyage, where there's almost always a big encounter and heartfelt goodbye, which only sometimes are left as goodbyes for separating found families is a major crime unless there's a really good reason for that).

Well, that's all the asks for your OCs/stories ideas for now, for even if I had more questions I'd still be missing some (or a lot) of info to make them XD

Birdy boy, Leo (who is a man, he'd be quite offended if you call him a lady.) Naive human, Tristian, very oblivious yes. Rich kid fed with a golden spoon, rather than silver. Mans has a butler! Quite ignorant to the wolrd, so he believed things would go smoothly when he left. Fortunately he's also an optimist. And the feral gremlin child, Robin. She's angry by default. Tristian adores her like a little sister, but Robin is like a cat (contrary to her name) she either hates, or tolerates.

With unicorns and dragons (no design yet, or at least an updated one) I was thinking they live in the same solar system, just on sister planets. So their ecosystems are pretty similar. They're both just very territorial. Plus they've gotten to the stage of harvesting other planets resources. So they've reached the point of going to different "earth type planets" But not on the level of having full control of their solar system. If you get what I mean.

So they're waging war over resources, colonisation, etc. Yeah let's say they're similar to Russia vs to USA, but more violent!

No dragons yet, but a little there's a rumour going around, so perhaps a dragon is on their way. But that's for me to know and you to find out. (If i ever develop this story and make a webcomic- sobs, I love developing shit, but me attention span is too short. By the time I've got something im on to the next thing. Thus the cycle continues!!)

Wine aunt/ Felidae is one of the few unicorns on earth. She's a bit out of sorts.

No plans for the dragons yet, but I'll keep that in mind.

Flee not free, we already got the dreaded swim show.

Birdy boy, Leo (who is a man, he'd be quite offended if you call him a lady.) Naive human, Tristian, very oblivious yes. Rich kid fed with a golden spoon, rather than silver. Mans has a butler! Quite ignorant to the wolrd, so he believed things would go smoothly when he left. Fortunately he's also an optemist. And the feral gremlin child, Robin. She's angry by default. Tristian adores her like a little sister, but Robin is like a cat (contrary to her name) she either hates, or tolerates.

Leo gets many a headache from the pair of them. Especially Robin, he's not above arguing with children. (Same tho).

Robin eventually mellows out (poor baby needs therapy, but therapy don't exist in a post apocalyptic society. As to whether she sees them as parental figures or brothers, you won't know til I say so. (i also wanna make this a webcomic, but- flops- takes effort. and commitment)

Found family would defs expand. I've got one in mind. But I might expand it further. I've got too many stories where its a main trio. Where's my main... 12'o. jk..... unless

FMAB... hmhm, I have an idea. You probably won't like it, seeing as you watched it. You'll find out eventually.

Fuck goodbyes, its always see you later alligator. til death do them part kinda deal.

Fair enough, I gotta start writing stuff down anyways. I'm such a visual creature I always forget about the writitng
