Summoner AU is my head-playground au that started with JJBA but since my focus has shifted to FMA for the most part (again, people are still welcome to talk to me about jjba!!!! a lot of my jjba followers have stopped talking to me almost entirely : C and i think its b/c they think i dont wanna talk about it anymore)

BUT someone pointed out that i should adapt it for FMA which took some carefule thought b/c FMA is of course a series with a lot more rigid rules in how it works and handles much, much heavier topic matter, but that just makes  it a lot more fun honestly making Summoning work in this world and this au Mesh with it

anyway the brief summation of it is that Summoner AU is an original au of mine (its not based on anything else it was just weird idea that i wanted to play with) thats a sort of variant on your standard monster au though instead of “everyone is monsters” its “monsters exist in this world b/c of human beings who summon them into it, this has a variety of social, environment, political, etc etc ramifications and i ramble endlessly about how the world and the people in it are shaped by this”

it also works rly well with FMA b/c kinda like Alchemy Summoning requires Certain Rules to be followed, but UNLIKE Alchemy its more arbitrary and extremely unpredictable and (seemingly) not really equivalent; so in this au its a branch off or subset of Alchemy, one that many other alchemists find odd at best and outright frustratingly bullshit evil at worst. 

I expanded a teensy bit on how Summoning is handled in the FMA world in this post about dragon!falman and mari lwyd!fuery 

and my tag for the fma summoner au so far is just “#FMA Summoner Au”

if you want to get an idea of the whole thing from its previous/jjba iteration, check out my “#summoner au” tag here where all my content for it is, and i recommend going all the way to the back and reading from the beginning for any level of coherency if you want to read anything in it

though keep in mind if you do that that A LOT of stuff works differently in the FMA version of this au

TY IM GLAD IM JUST OUT HERE LOVIN MONSTERS

send me an ask!

8. Most overrated and underrated character?

Welp, that is a big question. Where to begin? Ideal anarchist justice? Ideal group decision making? An ideal way to handle food production? Relationships? Education? Our relationship to animals and the environment? Technology? Housing? Art? Spirituality? Sex?

Oppression touches every part of our lives and to describe a society in which all of that is dismantled would take a very very very long post. Some of it on topics that I know very little about. So I would rather just recommend my favorite book. It’s online for free:

Peter Gelderloos - Anarchy Works https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works

Personally I think anarchism is by nature not so much about the theory of the ideal society and much more about the practical changing the world right now. Creating non-hierarchial places and destroying hierarchial ones. An ideal is a strange distant thing to focus on when there is so much anarchism that we could create in our lives right now. 

When we squad buildings and create living spaces that are not property. When we create communities that don’t rely on trial and punishment to create justice. When we stop a deportation. When we share skills in ways that do not rely on the teacher-student hierarchy. When we keep the streets nazi-free. When we find new ways to support each other and new ways to love each other and new ways to fuck. 

In all these moments we create anarchism, messy, imperfect and so so real.

So I love pixel art lately!

two pictures of the same pixel art of a Raven Skull with the beak and eye sockets being night themed and the skull being day themed.

In the first image a text scroll wraps around it reading "the only way out is through"
