My Friday the Thirteenth picture this year(because I actually caught it yay!) is brought to you by Mystery Skulls, my Coraline Crossover dream, and the WIP fic that I am working on as a result. When that will be done and ready for posting I have no idea, but here’s a potential cover for it. With hints of quite a few things...
Also, as a bonus, this kind of makes a good Promo! So for any who care, go check out these three on my multi-muse blog @aramat-mayhem-hub!
Sorry about this folks, but I am debating some things... This may/may not lead to another blog...
I don’t know yet.
Although, on the other hand, this might end up leading to a new story instead, IDEK, but anyway, so the other day I had a dream. Combining MSA with Coraline(now I’ve only ever seen the movie sorry...). And this is just a series of sketches and stuff that come from that dream.
Also, first of all, I think that it was set post-movie, because otherwise some things are weird and can’t be justified... Such as Coraline showing up at the very end of the dream to save everyone... Not that that’s an easy justify even with that information...
Anyway...
The dream began with the Pepper sisters fishing up the Button Key from the well... Why they were there I have no idea... but to be fair, this dream had everyone there... Well all their families anyway. So; Lance + Galahad, Vivi’s parents + Grandma, and all the Peppers. So I think that they may have been on Vacation or soemthing? I don’t know, but they were at the Pink Palace(??? I need to rewatch the movie...) and the Pepper sisters fish up the key right at the start... They also fished up the Beldam’s hand, but uh... that didn’t end up doing anything...
Mostly because it just got tossed right back into the well...
Also it was broken...
But anyway, it began with them fishing out the key... and discovering the door.
Cue reflections to the movie... It’s bricked up, Belle and Cayenne disappear, I mean, I’m sure they were still around, but for the rest of the dream they were kind of gone... I guess they were having fun with their parents, IDK, what do you want from me...
So for whatever reason...
It was Paprika with a self-doll.
The baby of the family. And so she was the one who went through the door. I don’t even know what her wonderland was like TBH, because it didn’t stick in my mind... a weird detail that did was for whatever reason the Beldam choose to take the form of Arthur, IDK okay, it was a dream. Dreams don’t logic...
So when Pap got back to reality she goes and talks to Arthur about it. And he tells her, that if she’s feeling uncomfortable/upset to talk to her parents, or Lewis... which is what I attempted to draw... but no, she just wants to show him the door. He doesn’t not believe her, but he doesn’t know how it works... So he just sort of tells her to be careful.
I know it was the rule of three, just like in the movie.
First trip, second... and third the offer of the buttons.
Also, I don’t entirely know how Arthur got there, but he did. In the dream when Paprika refused Arthur came to the rescue when the Beldam got nasty... I’m not entirely sure how events unfolded for either of them afterwards... because the dream jumped to Coraline showing up to warn everyone... and she talks to Vivi...
Also, Mystery and the Cat... they didn’t exactly get along for most of the dream, until the cat managed to get the message of the danger across. Although Lewis + Vivi learnt about that from Coraline...
I don’t even know how to explain this... because it was all bounce, bounce, bounce, jump in the dream. So Coraline explains, Lewis takes off, I think it was something like Paprika screamed for her brother... Lewis being a ghost he heard her... and well... He got there somehow...
A bit late, kind of although I still don’t know the sequence of events...
Lewis did burn the Beldam up into nothing though...
There’s already been one monster too many that used Arthur to hurt them... but still.
I don’t know...
There was more but uh... I don’t want to explain the whole, even with buttons Arthur was able to still be free because the Beldam was gone thing... but uhm...
Yeah.
I don’t know what I’m going to do with this concept. It was a confusing dream okay...
(Also I really want to know what all the adultier adults were doing the entire time? Because what in the world, they were there, they got mentioned... Lance threw a wrench at a rat... Vivi’s Grandma was suspicious of the doll... but then they did nothing??? Brain why?)
I mean, the good thing was that Arthur was still free at the end, and none of the kids got hurt, but Arthur still ended up with buttons... and I don’t know how my brain logicked that, or what even happened, because it went from Arthur launching himself in to protect Paprika, to Coraline showing up and exposition dumping, to Lewis bursting in, burning the Beldam to nothing, and then the ending-ish... Where Arthur had buttons... but Paprika was fine...
Also, I want to write a Star Wars SI now, but at the same time... I'm leery because again... never really watched the actual movies, I've just absorbed the meta and general timeline...
Also I have too many WIPs...
But LIGHTSABRE and worldbuilding and just... I want to write something sci-fi fandom...
Oh man... Someone stop me before I write a fanfiction where Sasuke basically has Shadow the Hedgehog’s personality... just dork trying to be edgy and cool.
...
Or the au where I give Sasuke classic-Sonic’s attitude... because I just can’t... I can’t...
I want to write this... because how much would this change canon? How much? Also, allow him to be cocky, but still vengeance will be mine rawr!
You know what... I just realized why Sasuke’s post-plot design bothers me so much...
He looks like Severus Snape turned into a Naruto character... like seriously. Of course this is just me but, now I just... Uchiha Severus and now that is going to bug me until I oneshot it...
Someone should really take away my games for a while... because now I have a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon plot and it’s strong... But also I really want to cry and listen to the soundtrack again(even all the dungeons because music so beautiful) and cry because these damn games give me the feels all the time... and like...
I played Explorers of Time before I even got Pokemon Diamond, and it was the first, the first game that ever made me cry... and it was beautiful and wonderful and...
I’m going to write this fic, I swear, and plot and make it work and... Of course it’s going to be a crossover, though I don’t know how that’ll turn out exactly... meh... Just that it’s going to be fun, especially since I’m going to be playing the game again, alongside it, and well yeah...
My Team in game, Team PiQuil will be there, but not the main focus and I’ll be changing the story... Set in Time/Darkness as well, since you know nostalgia... though I will be using elements from Sky(because story but...). And all that, but the game I’m basing it off and the one I’m playing is Time... So yeah.
(Also who really cares that I’m using Pokemon that didn’t exist at the time, it’s fanfiction, and time moves one... so whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’ll make sense in story...)
Shouldn’t have started watching Ben 10 again while I’m into Naruto and KHR... because dang it, now I want alien antics and/or the Omnitrex in both series... Although how would I even plot it, or explain it and just...
Although this sure is nostalgic to my childhood. Ben 10 was the thing I watched the most... Feels a bit like they’re trying too hard with the acting in some places but meh... it’s an older show...
Still don’t accept Ultimate Alien or Omniverse as part of the canon though... but that’s probably just because I have issues with them...Also I honestly view the style shift from the OS to AF & UA as logical growing up and OV is way too childish and feels much like a step backwards in term of maturing the characters and art style...
I think that Ben’s a Lightning Flame and I know that there are a lot of stories that have older characters replace Lambo as the Lightning Guardian but it would be seriously interesting... also a ten/eleven year old Ben from the OS would certainly fit... Or fifteen if I go with AF Ben...
As for Naruto I’d likely go with the other cliche and have the Omnitrex crash on their planet instead... Also I’m thinking of giving it to Rin, because seriously underappreciated potential and also the boys already stand out enough... Although maybe I could use this as an excuse to actually write a Naruto-generation fic and give it to Tenten?
