This is my first time ever doing a digital painting, and I think I did okay! :)

AHHHH I'm late!!!

Okay okay okay long post but,

I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol

So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?

Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!

Eventually Danny starts to think of it like he's performing for those around him, like he's the star of the show he didn't realize he was in- He finds himself watching plays and operas and broadway shows and he enjoys them?? Which he didn't expect! Soon he becomes a bit obsessed with putting on the perfect performance for others, but obviously that has side effects on his mental health.

Maybe we can bring in some Ghost King Phantom? Like he becomes the Ghost King once he's graduated university or something and to his surprise, Frostbite tells him that he has a new Performance Obsession and of course this can give an opportunity for angsty spirals... Also if I'm being completely honest, the design and personality I have in my head for him is reminiscent of Furina from Genshin Impact, which I'm pretty sure was an accident, especially because I finished the newest quest yesterday... But whatever... I'll worry about it later.

If enough people like the idea I'll probably put a story and designs together, might even throw some dpxdc into the ring who knows, I sure don't! Anyway, my first time actually putting thought into an AU idea and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think!

It is not going well for the comic drafts... I'm rewriting majority of the story and redesigning most of the characters, it's actually pretty fun but I think it'll be a few forever before I finally start the comic :/

I completely forgot to post, but here's some oc art from the past few weeks including a Miasma redesign. I'm working on the first few drafts of my comic as well!

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

can’t believe fyodor pulled off the uno reverse of the century and then hit us with the why, good morning 😌

Oh and I put this in a previous post, but this little interaction is actually the first time I drew a concept from the au

She's coming to see him at night, and gets concerned when she sees him asleep and without his prosthetic (nor did she understand it was a prosthetic, that's probably pretty bizarre to a dragon outside of Berk's little flock) and doesn't realize that no, he didn't get hurt since you last saw him :(

So then I imagine Toothless is kinda like, "Oh! Oh no, I'm fine, see! I just need a little help to fly higher!" and I managed to make myself cry over dragon romance while making this I'm done for.

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 :)

Telling myself this every day so here's a meme

Doodles of Ocs and some TV/Video Game characters

Not super proud of some of these but eh. Whatever.

Update: I have 2000 words written

I'm currently just rewriting the first episode but with some changes, I don't know if I'll stick to the og plotline or not, but so far I don't think I will.

Oh! And I came up with a name! A Graveyard For Angels :D

What do you think? I'm having a lot of fun with this!

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
