#lore ask

The new adventurer's bible and kui's blog have some pages about clothing! But there isn't much about half-foots specifically, theres pages about tallmen elf and dwarf fashion. I'll try to put everything I have here with the translated versions for the ones I can find (without much organization hope that's ok)

Love the au

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Thank you for asking... 😭❤️

First of all, I forgot to mention that the Au's full name is AgeSwap Shockson AU... Because Bumblebee is Old and Shockwave was born A Couple Days Ago.

That out of the way, the very long-story-short lore would be this: During the height of the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War, Bumblebee is sent on a mission to the Decepticon base as an Autobot Spy, he's tasked with collecting as much Intel as possible and reporting back every so often. He does this for a long, long, long time. Eventually the Autobot base stops answering his reports and they won't pick up when he tries to contact them, and he's stuck there uselessly.

Before being abandoned, though, he meets Shockwave! He immediately pities him for being "dumb" and "creepy" and commits the FATAL mistake of showing a below-bare-minimum level of decency to him... Shockwave then becomes obsessed with the concept of Bumblebee being his mentor/sire.

There's a lot more details that I'm still working out and I will (hopefully) get to post soon enough here!

This AU is more slice-of-life driven, but I'm so happy to answer any lore asks ❤️

I know you mentioned you're ignoring MoM when it comes to Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, but I really just wanna see Wanda wreck the Vatfams shit, preferably whilst she looks like that one concept art of the scarlet witch looking like a demon fresh from hell ( it's the one from the MoM artbook that looks like this, https://pin.it/3mplJ4bg5 )

Jsjsjs I should make a poll on who should get the first go at whooping the Batfam’s ass because the line keeps getting longer and longer.

(I already have someone in mind. Brace yourselves because Gotham is probably getting wrecked as well-)

And while I did say that MoM is very much not canon in the story, we now know that Wanda is in Morpheus’ realm. A realm that has enough space for her to explore the darkest parts of her powers without fear or restraint. Let’s not forget that even if the realm is called the Dreaming, nightmares form part of it as well.

So hellish Wanda is very much real and it will not be a pleasant experience for anyone to meet her (watch your back Bruce.)

(Y’all know I’m a horror fan, and scary Wanda is right up my alley ✨✨)

Here’s the linked image for everyone to see! (Such a sick design, I love it):

You mention that Alex the Cat was in jail. What did he do to go to jail?

HI

STUFF FOR OC GUIDELINES POST

AKA OTHER STUFF TO YAP ABOUT/CONSIDER

We already know that Exorcist weapons are special and made of Eiridium (apologies if I spelled that wrong). I'd love to see what other unique tools the other PCD factions use! I can imagine there'd need to be special tools for everyone else as well- Seamstresses use special fabrics for agent uniforms which in turn need better tools to cut/sew, doctors have special medical utilities/treatments for grim-related injuries that normal treatments are less effective against, and the Scientific people, goodness knows what they use to do their research. And considering all of this takes place in the 1970s-80s iirc, you could make some really interesting stuff! This is also smth where instead of art, you could just give descriptions of the relevant tools or utilities and what's unique about them, and let OC makers have creative freedom with designs within specific boundaries and themes.

This one is a bit more image reliant! But PCD Headquarters maps! This could be either the main center of operations for all PCD HQ buildings, or a map that works for all of the PCD buildings. Admittedly I don't know if there are multiple buildings like police stations or if there's one super center that handles the whole country. But regardless it'd be cool to see where people keep their belongings while working, where they train, maybe some classrooms for the TA, or an office area for any Exorcists to work when they're not actively dispatched. Speaking of office work, I think that'd open up some fun OC opportunities; office shenanigans are fun, and helps give a bit of realism to some of these things. There's fun in the mundane if you try to find it!

This last one is the easiest to yap about without need for an image: dispatchers. Assuming the PCD works similar to emergency services and is dispatched out, I can see either a mini PCD division of dispatchers, or Exorcists alternating dispatch shifts with being dispatched. That said it could simply be just calling a country's emergency number and PCD gets dispatched that way, but I also feel like at least a PCD non-emergency line for grim sightings or possible hauntings would be useful.

Aaaand I think that's everything I can think of! I apologize if any of these are things you already talked about in the past, just some things that come to mind. I think it could give all the Eidolon OCs more interest in exploring the other factions and new ways to interact, plus possible character relations developing lol. Now lets hope this ask goes through or I'm smashing a guitar, smashing my dreams, and growing up /ref

(Oh and don't feel tempted to write/draw everything in response to this post ofc lol. These are just ideas)

Hi Star so the reason why this didn't go through on the post is because chances are I deleted it right as you were writing this 😭😭😭😭 I am so sorry you can have my firstborn I genuinely feel horrible for this-

To answer your ask itself, these are some peak ideas honestly. The tools and generally explaining how the medical staff treats injuries and stuff are something that I have on my list of future stuff to add to the Story Masterpost. I just haven't had the time to focus on them properly yet, but when I do they'll be added. I might add them to the Guide as well but I think I'd only go over them in excruciating detail in the Masterpost as that's the main place for worldbuilding and lore + the Guide isn't meant to be read as a standalone post, everything in it is written with the assumption that the reader has read the Masterpost. It's like an addendum lol

The maps/layout/rooms of the PCD Headquarters is also something that I've been planning on drawing and adding to the Masterpost for a long time now, I just haven't done it because planning out a building as big as this is scary and drawing rooms is even scarier. I don't think I'd draw anything in a lot of detail since I want to have wiggle room in the future if I decide to change stuff + I don't want to draw a super detailed room that will probably become outdated after some time. And yeah funnily enough one of my favourite scenarios to imagine with my OCs is just office shenanigans with them XD I think that much like the tools, that's stuff for the Masterpost, tho. And maybe it won't go to the guide either since it'll be strictly for OC designing. But still a peak idea regardless, and one I'm really excited to work on when I can (also yeah it's a thing where there are several HQs in the country but most of them are small scale, there are only a handful of big ones and one of them is the main story one and I think I'll only do a building map for that one)

The last point made me realize that I already thought of PCD agents as dispatchable but had never thought of who is doing the dispatching 💀 the little things. The Commanders are typically the ones who assign their agents on missions and make them go out but they probably wouldn't be the ones to get the calls themselves. Maybe? Or maybe they would? I need to think about it, that's very good food for thought. I think maybe that's where the Admins could come in and be a bit more plot relevant. I will ponder this during my next shower.
