My shaylas
eper au idea
heroes/villains, expect almost everyone is a villain!!! here's the current alignments i have in mind
villains: giovanni & his boys, molly, sylvie, rick, zora, yoomtah, moot, the banzai blasters
heroes: phoenica, lorelai
vigilantes: ramsey, trixie
civilians: percy, howie, naven
giovanni runs his own organization that he recruited molly into, zora & moot work for bliss ocean, one of the largest villain organization, sylvie and rick are kind of a duo and everyone else runs solo
epithets are also greatly expanded on in this au :)
Day fourteen
People HC Sylvie to have insomnia cuz he’s a teenager who has a actual job and a PHD, Plus it’s the opposite to his epithet, However what if we swung the other direction and instead of making him sleep-deprived, we make him sleep-Loaded!
That’s right, narcolepsy!
I know it’s a trope where ‘Sleepy person has sleepy powers’ but I feel like just enough people made Sylvie to be struggling with sleep that making him fall asleep at random loops just back around to unexpected
Rhonda finally feels safe enough to take her first nap in decades and wakes up under a pile of jackets; a letterman, a denim button up, brown suede, and a band uniform jacket
“Why are you crying? Quit it, he’s gonna think I bullied you or something…”
Day twenty nine
If you for some reason have a friend group consisting of exactly twenty nine people and they all coincidentally are a big fan of Sylvester Ashling from epithet erased then BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE THE PFP’S FOR YOU!
excited for rick and sylvies dynamic points points
Day FOURTY!!!
Sylvie and Zora!!
Also slight spoilers for the great at cowboy music video at the end so watch out
My blorbos, My kin, My hyperfixations within the my hyperixation that is EE, The two characters i feel have the most untapped potential in terms of Development, story-telling AND power in general
How the two are polar opposites in every way, Sylvie being interested in researching how epithets affect the human Psyche, Zora being interested in erasing epithets :0 to make things more fair i NEED to see these two interact OH MY GOD JELLO PLEASE
For what i’d think would happen, It would depend on how the two meet, If Zora Salazar met Sylvie while hunting a bounty/bliss ocean target, Sylvie would try and intervene with Zora treating him with as little seriousness as possible before leaving, If Sylvester’s the TARGET, That’s a powerscaling conversation
Honestly It’s hard to come up with a situation where Sylvie and Zora would end up meeting that deosn’t end with the two fighting as i feel Zora would ignore Sylvie if he didn’t relate to her mission or task, He’s just a kid to her
But if they did, Zora Salazar would ABSOLUTELY make fun of Sylvie for being a nerd and call him a kid just to piss him off for the funnies, Syvester ain't having NONE of it and constantly telling her that he’s not a kid which just causes her to do it more, When the teasing stops and the two starts talking, Zora is a little irritated that Sylvie’s so adamant on researching epithets while Sylvie’s both curious and offended that Zora hates epithets so much
if Sylvie learn about Zora being a part of bliss ocean one of two things will happen, Either Sylvie will try and ‘defend’ himself from Zora despite her having no intent to harm him, Or he’d try and therapize her to try and figure out why a inscribed person is part of a anti-epithet terrorist group
Zora’s definitely NOT into therapy and would try every possible way to get out of this impromptu Therapy session while Sylvie keeps his professionalism throughout the entire thing
I feel like Sylvie would be the only person to actually challenge Zora’s beliefs and ask her if she’s okay with having HER epithet erased :OOO, Which surprisingly enough no one else in EE mentioned
For the Duel tech
I like the idea of Sylvie using nightmare fuel on someone she’s fighting and since they’re in the middle of fighting ZORA FUCKING SALAZAR , Sylvie’s nightmare fuel would just make her even MORE terrifying and Zora would LOVE it
And as for Nightmare fuel on Zora?
Well, Zora hates Epithets because her parents were killed by Bonzai blasters, Guns are non-lethal and only do minor impact damage so the only way for them to have been killed was by the Bonzai imbuing their bullets like Zora does, So…Zora would see that very same Bonzai blaster…gunning for her instead, Pun fully intended.
And along the list of people confronted with their worst nightmares…Zora would be one of the few who chose fight instead of flight, She would try and remind herself that the vision is part of Sylvie’s epithet and to focus on him....but gives in and let all her anger out on the Dream Bonzai before realizing that her bullets wont do anything, trying every form of combat she knows before finally realizing her actions are useless and finally becoming scared, not the type of fear where she’d need to get away from the threat at all costs…more so the fear that she’s going to die and she doesn’t want to, much like Ramsey’s thanatophobia
Zora’s fear is not being able to stop people from giving others the same fate She was given as a child, To stop people from being so helpless against the inscribed, that’s why she fantasizes about fair fights and battles of destiny and fate
Her parents would’ve been fine if the bonzai was a Mundie
They would’ve been alive
But no, That bonzai just so happened to be inscribed, Just so happened to have an epithet that can make bullets fatal
her parents guaranteed to die that encounter…and it was all thanks to a person being lucky enough to be born with a epithet, to then be lucky enough to have their epithet be so powerful, to then be lucky enough to be at the right time and right place to witness Mr. and Mrs. Salazar dig up that treasure…
In her eyes it’s unfair
That’s because it isn’t
Happy new year! I’m a bit late…
Since 2023 is the year of the rabbit I wanted to draw my favorite awful horrible rabbit girl!
mistyjax whether it’s platonic or romantic ( like how it was intended originally ) …. i will spread your word
