thank you for taking your time to have a look and your interest in creating for me.
This is my first letter and I’m still figuring out what to put in it and trying to remember and put into words what I like in a fic or work of art. This might also be a bit rambly and chaotic.
…include, but aren’t limited to:
It's hard to say what I like. There’s so many styles and media in which to art. I like dark blue and I love lush, deep red. So, have fun with your own style or experiment. Just… don’t give me piggy rosy rose, please.
I’m not quite sure what to request here or how to put likes. It’s all a new medium for me. If you want to put music in, artists I like are: Muse, Amanda Palmer, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave, Kettcar, Wir sind Helden, Ärzte, Sigur Rós, Juha Tapio, Blue Öyster Cult, The Hu, IamX, Queen, System of Down, Rage against the Machine, Beatles…
I do not like hip hop or rap and techno. Also it’s safe to steer clear of singer-songwriters (I like some that might fall into this category, while others just make me aggressive. I can’t even pinpoin† where the line lies between those options. Honestly, I’m still surprised I can listen to Juha Tapio.)
As for visual effects and the likes… I have no ideas whatsoever and I’ll be trusting your creative decisions.
I’m quite okay with violence and guts and blood splattered all over the interior. However, I don’t want my requested characters to get out of the whole ordeal broken or even seriously hurt. I’m also still trying to pinpoint the line between YAY! GORE! and EEEK! TOO REALISTIC! *faints* So, if you want to add violence, it’s safer to go absolutely Evil Dead 2-meets-Tarantino-over-the-top.
I wouldn’t mind crossovers/combinations between my requested fandoms either.
Medium Opt-In:> Fanart Cover/Illustration of Recipient's Fic
I don’t really have prompts, however I am open for AU’s. I notoriously turn at least Matthew into all kinds of fantasy characters.
As for kink preferences… points at Dom’s name also points at sub likes for Matt* ;)
The heroic poses mentioned in the general likes up there totally apply to Bellamy's rock star poses.
As I'm writing this letter, I haven't seen this movie thing they released a few days ago. It's safe to assume, I will see it within a week, though.
My Series if you want to art for them:Here we have a story about a werewolf nymph and a hunter of all things supernatural.
Matt’s half werewolf, half nymph and thus his transformations during full moon are never complete. He grows fur and muzzle, claws and tail and looses some of his wits, but he mostly keeps his human posture. He also wears a ring with a multitude of minds that can create blades from blood and whispers in the voices of all its minds.
Dom’s a hunter of all things supernatural who stumbled upon Matt during mating time and thus mated with the werewolf nymph. He carries a gun and often wears a leather jacket. Has no driving license.
They’re on the road together, encountering various supernatural beings and bickering like an old married couple.
Where to start with this monster about dragons and riders that skips centuries even?
The first two parts are set in a world that feels like the Monster Hunter games. Kinda mediaeval, with dragons around. Usually dragons are soulbound to a human and most of those become Dragon Riders. The general attire consists of ponchos, spats and goggles, with two weapons of their choice.
Matt and Asche
„Asche was small and of the colour of coal and the insides of her wings and eyes had the colour of ashes. She had no pompous spikes or prominent teeth. She didn’t even have any horns on her head. All she had to fight with were the grey talons on her feet and wings and an uncharacteristically long tail; and that scorching fire breath she could aim accurately at a single person in a crowd.
Asche could have been the most decorated dragon flying into battle, but she accepted nothing more than her leather harness. And thus Matt wore their decorations instead. Trinkets and decorations hung from his soft wool poncho, ears and hair; the marks of his status were inked in dots and lines into his skin.“
Matt’s weapons are a glaive and a falcata, he’s heavily tattooed, even in his face. (Inspiration for those were those tribal-like in game graphics of Monster Hunter). He’s got a lot of trinkets woven into his hair.
Asche is his dragon, she’s rather small for dragon standards and features a very long tail. She’s mostly black, eyes, wings and claws grey. No horns, just talons on feet and wings. She’s four-legged.
Dom and Aurus
„Contrary to Matt, Dominic and his dragon Aurus were loved and appreciated by all the citizens. Aurus’ scales seemed to be made of gold and his long head and snout were lined with spikes and beautiful head frills. His body was long and slim, gracious golden wings spreading behind his front legs. They blinded the enemy whenever Aurus and Dominic appeared on the horizon.
The Golden Pair had specialised in ranged combat, hardly ever getting close enough to an enemy to be stricken while showering them with arrows and burning boomerangs.
They were the most decorated pair to fly into battle and they loved the recognition.“
Aurus is inspired by Mizutsune from Monster Hunter. Take the patches fur away, add wings and paint it gold, basically. ;)
Chris and Insignia
„Christopher was the tallest of the trio. The citizens saw in him the strong warrior who could kill an enemy with his bare hands. His brown wyvern Insignia was huge, white horns and spikes adorned her head and ran along her ridges until they formed a nest of elongated spikes at the end of her tail. Befitting her attributes, Christopher had chosen a mace as his primary weapon.
His brown wyvern Insignia was huge, white horns and spikes adorned her head and ran along her ridges until they formed a nest of elongated spikes at the end of her tail. And yet, Christopher and Insignia were the gentlest of them. They didn’t enjoy the quick and dirty victory as Matthew and Asche did; they didn’t strive for praise and recognition as Dominic and Aurus did. To them, fighting was a necessary deed to keep their home safe.“
Curly-haired Chris with a maze as his weapon. Insignia is huge, really fucking huge.
If you feel like something more… piquant.
This is a loose series, like glimpses into a poly relationship with a lot of BDSM exploring
Chris is dominant, Dom is usually dominant, but sometimes switches, Matt is always happily submissive, I gave him a Prince Albert piercing.
An oldie but goldie of mine, the story of a merman and his prince.
Matt’s a merman that washed up on the shore some time and got picked up by prince Dominic. They end signing on a merchant ship and gain the ability to change into each other’s species for 24 hours at some point.
Matt’s got an „elongated, scaly fishtail. It ended in a long double fin and featured two smaller fins slightly higher and another single fin halfway between hips and tail fin. This one fin must have been long and gracious once, but now it was tattered, the pale blue skin hanging loosely from the bone.“
He’s got a scar running from collarbone to hip, when aroused, his tail gets white stripes
In human form he wears skirts for comfort and uses wheelchairs since he never had the possibility to master the art of walking.
Dom’s the human prince that picked up some most curious flotsam. He becomes a sailor in chapter two. His fish form has a grey tail with the fins of a veiltail. The mating pattern are bright orange lines running in waves around his tail.
An A/B/O set in a fantasy mediaeval setting in which alphas(soevereinen) grow antlers and omegas(ondersten) show patterns that keep growing once mated. Betas (medianen) just remain unmarked.
In this Matt is an assassin dressed in black and a rather reluctant onderste. His pattern are black dots that will spread to cover him completely eventually. At some point he obtains a silver staff that ends in three lotus blossoms. He’s going to be the high priest of the water god (a soeverein).
Dom’s the blond captain of Royal Royal guard, just growing his light brown antlers. He obtains a crystal sword with charms attached along the road. He gets possessed by the sun goddess (the onderste of the water god)
Chris is a mediaan wizard in touch with nature. He’s not wearing stereotypically wizard clothes.
The big evil is a god of fire and destruction and he utilises a crystal army. The later parts of the story take place in the wastelands of a once flourishing country.
The story about a fallen seraph and an immortal Viking; and a carpenter caught in circumstances. Most of it takes place in the present.
Matt’s the seraph, a red halo and six black wings with a plethora of eyes and on single blind eyes on his lowest feathers. They can turn red when he’s summoning fire. There’s red marks on his hips that look like hands. He can turn into a raven or black dog. The marks on his hips stay and the halo turns into a ring-formed pattern on the hand.
Dom’s an immortal viking, runes tattoed down his sides to help with spells. He prefers to use axes and earns his money with exorcisms (They usually end in some kind of beheading.) He misses the times of plaited beards and long plaits on men. Still has no driving license.
The Main OC of this story is Gareth, a brunet carpenter who stumbled into this supernatural world and tries very hard to not fall for Matthew’s seductions. In the end, he'll use a war hammer and two shrunken heads of a red male demon and a blonde female angel.
And then there’s Lady Darklis, a hippie witch of undefined age. She’s sporting long, white dreadlocks. She also owns a sword with runes that glow when danger is near.
Another oldie of mine.
Matthew’s the unredeemable evil Lord Asgard with red hair, a stripe of red fur running down his back and a long red tail. His wardrobe only knows the colours red and black and he likes broad-rimmed hats with over the top plumage. He’s accompanied by the black beast of a dog Fenrir.
Dominic’s the golden hero and a Lord-to-be who sets out to prove himself worthy to his father. He ends up on Castle Asgard as Matthew’s quarter-annual virgin sacrifice where he falls for the Lord's… charms. His hats also broad-rimmed and adorned by plumage, he’s a lot more sensible about that, however.
Godzilla Toho/Monsterverse
Given the randomness of the past 66 years, even AU might end up being somewhat canon. So go wild with what you feel inspired to.
I love most of the Godzillas. (The anime didn’t thrill me that much and Emmerich… All I needed to see of that happened in Final Wars already. No need to bring Zilla up here.) I adore the over the top wackiness as much as I appreciate the serious tones of 1954 and Shin. Gimmeh the whole spectrum!
If you’re doing arts and wonder which incarnation to go for: My favourite suit design is MireGoji. He’s so, so cute. I wanna cuddle the big boy.
I’ve seen drawings of humanised kaiju, and while those are all cute and pretty, I do prefer my monstrous monsters to be monstrous monsters.
As for Shin: He’s one ugly motherfucker. It fits this incarnation of the Big G and part of why I adore him so much. I’d like to see art of him, or insights in how he works, feels and thinks.
Io Shinoda: I’d like to see her grown up. What will she do then? Will she take over the GPN from her father? Find other ways to study Godzilla?
Ozaki and Godzilla: The aftermath of Final Wars would be interesting. How does rebuilding civilisation work? Will humans/mutants and Godzilla come to a mutual understanding? Or is mankind going to enrage the Big G all over again?
I’ve opted into a few in-universe mediums mostly for Monsterverse, because Monarch lends itself easily to those. I imagine Monarch employees have to file a lot of reports about the titans they’re guarding, searching for and discovering. Maybe there’s some kind of newsletter for employees or some a public magazine dealing with the science of titans. Propaganda poster for new recruits would be nifty too.
No AU for this, please.
Didn’t notice them in the trailer for Forbidden West, but got the first volume of the comic and they’re so CUTE! squeee
What does Aloy do to get into the Forbidden West? Just curiosity and the joy of discovering the world? Following hints on restoring GAIA? Following the hint of a new thread?
My favourite mounts. Can one befriend a machine? Aloy riding through the wilderness and encountering new machines and animals…
A mysterious and shady character in the first game and DLC, and this Forbidden West trailer doesn’t make him any more trustworthy. And what’s he doing with Hades now?
was a bit sad when the side quests with Erend were done. I enjoyed their dynamic and always want to see more of them.
I adore PTerry’s Death on so many levels. And him being a grandfather is just wonderful. :D
I’m quite interested in myths, legends, religions and lore. And for some reason, norse mythology interests me more than others.
I’d like Loki being Loki, that annoying, sometimes malicious, sometimes harmless, sometimes even helpful trickster. Also, how would Loki raise his kids when there’s a giant serpent, a viscous wolf and an eight-legged horse between them? (take your pick from his array of kids or all of them. ;) ) Genderbending for him is quite possible and I’d consider it in-canon, as he did get knocked up while posing as a mare once… (I don't need to read about hot horse sex, though, lol)
I’d like to see him on his quests for wisdom, maybe together with his ravens and wolves.
She’s feared by the Æsir and becomes a queen of her own death cult.
One Vanir, one Æsir and very similar goddesses. How would they get along?
A lot of the Norse myths we know today is in one way or the other Christianised. If you’ve got ideas about pre-Christian myths and legends, I’d like to read them. :)
What’s better than one pretty man? Two pretty men getting it on, of course.
I opted in for Cover/Illustration of one of my stories. Sadly there’s only one so far:
It’s based on the prompt „You are the devil himself. After a good day of ripping off mortals, you are summoned by yet another one. Being a little generous, you promise to let him keep his soul if he asks for something nobody ever asked. You are now stuck as his beautiful and loving girlfriend till the end of his days.“
Ignoring my genderbending DNW, it starts out with Chris as the devil in female and changes to Chris as male.
Gimmeh the two Poster Kaiju of Tokusatsu. Would they join forces? Or fight against each other?
I’m not even sure I remember all the pairings I requested, as there were far too much fun and interesting pairings in the nominations.
Go wild, and remember, it’s all fun and games as long as you can apply the Harkness Test. ;)
