Me Continuing To Make Terrible Posts About My Extremely Niche Interests Instead Of Anything People Actually

before tucker and sam find out he's literally just danny and suddenly the concerts become less cool

So I've got this httyd au idea that I've been sitting on for awhile now, I guess it could be considered as a rewrite or something but I don't see it that way. Anyway here's some ideas for my Colourful Nights AU, I'm still working out the factors so it's not the best.

There's going to be more of my thoughts under the cut (aka the usual Hauntley rambling)

First and foremost, the idea to give Grimmel a night fury comes from this post on reddit

Before seeing this I had 100% planned to just... Not have Grimmel exist in the Colourful Nights au? I kind of hate his whole- thing?

I had the idea of Grimmel seeing what Drago did and deciding that where the man failed was not in trying to control dragons, but instead that he didn't try to control powerful dragons specifically. I know that Toothless is supposed to be an endling, but I think the idea of Grimmel slowly building his own dragon army but with dragons he considers powerful and having a few night furies is cool so. Maybe he kept a couple of night furies back during the mass fury hunts, because having them bend to his will makes him feel powerful? Or maybe he only had one. I'm not sure if I'll even keep it but I like the idea.

For my light fury design (I call her Clearscales), I liked the idea of her being a night fury with some sort of genetic mutation, and I'm not sure if I want to keep the disappearing act or not? I like it but I don't know if it would still work if I gave her darker scales, but also! Would I be able to call her Clearscales still? :( That's a very important part, because I've gotten attached to the name.

I also had an idea that relates back to a fact about the Dramillion titan in rtte, it has the ability to camouflage itself like a changewing because they're distantly related, implying that titans have access to traits the normal members of their species don't have.

So what if Toothless' lightning isn't an inherent night fury skill, but instead a trait of night fury titans? Maybe it's due to a possible distant relation with skrills? I always liked the idea that the "lightning" part of "Offspring of lightning and death" was because their blasts look somewhat like a the result of a lightning strike (at least in the 1st movie), but maybe it's also because a titan was witnessed doing this, and because the second and third movies imply that after the first transformation, the titans don't look any different from the normal members, people just assumed that it was something they could all do, and ontop of everything else, it led to a mass panic and hunt?

I'm all over the place and am in no way coherent, but that's my dumb little idea, if you're reading this I can't believe you actually read what I wrote, or scrolled down through it at least. Thank you :)

So I made a post recently and mentioned that I had an idea for a DOA!Atsushi AU, right? Well now there's a small prologue and I've started chapter one...

And I made art...

I need to stop having ideas, because I don't know if it'll actually become something or if I'll drop it in a week and that upsets me T-T

I might post the prologue later

Some expansion on the idea under the cut~ :)

*There will be spoilers for Dead Apple under the cut as well*

I had this idea based on the fact that we know Fyodor is probably the one who told Shibusawa about Atsushi.

I can't remember if we're told who finds Atsushi after he kills Shibusawa, but I ended up making a divergence there and having Fyodor find him.

Atsushi meets Dazai and Kunikida in the same way but under different circumstances as Atsushi is traveling around on a mission from Fyodor. He's just stopping in Yokohama for the night and the river scene goes pretty similar to canon.

That's about all I've got written so far, except it's 500 words in the document- I'll have to study up on Fyodor's character a bit more to make sure he's not OOC. Let me know if you'd be interested lol

Why am I like this

I'll be honest, I'm not happy with the way the first two turned out. I've actually had them done for a few days and wasn't going to post them because I wasn't happy with them.

But I realized that would go against my own personal beliefs, which is that sharing even the art we're not proud of is important. Not everything we create will be or has to be perfect.

Sure, I kind of hate the way Chuuya's face looks, (also I think I got his hat wrong) Dazai's hair and both their feet. All I can really see are what I call "the screw ups". Fortunately, that's not all there is. For example, I'm very proud of how Atsushi turned out despite the fact that he kind of resembles Beast!Atsushi... I'm also not fussy on the shots without his jacket...

This turned into a long ramble, sorry, I just wanted to show off some A Graveyard For Angels designs. I gave Chuuya a brown jacket after a lot of back and forth with the colours and Dazai's bolo tie is more blue.

Social(ly anxious) creatures

So like, I just rewatched the first movie of httyd and I thougt wouldnt it be fucked up if Stoick had decided to lock Hiccup with the other dragons or what.

Cus you know. He said Hiccup "chose" His side with the dragons, and those chains they put on Toothless looked pretty sturdy, so they know how to contain dragons. If he did wanted to be cruel he could have put Hiccup in the chains of smaller dragons and left him with Them.

Thinking about httyd. Migth do something silly and get deeper into this.
