GG/SU How To Make Gem Jgers

GG/SU how to make Gem Jägers

There is a satalite, and in that satalite there is a chamber wrapped in layers and layers of soundproofing. In the outer rooms, outside the chamber, wait technicians and soldiers, and beyond that is the vast, utter soundproofing of space.

Inside the chamber wait Gems, mostly Quartzes and Agates, a few Rubies, perhaps a Nephrite or a defiant looking Pearl.

At the centre of the chamber stands a Heterodyne. “Do you wish this?” she asks each of them in turn.

They do.

They swear their loyalty, some of them – the runaways, the strays – still shocked at themselves, that they could swear this to someone who isn’t a Diamond.

The Heterodyne sings. The Diamonds, legend says, once used a song like this to corrupt the Gems of Earth. The Heterodynes have refined it.

The Gems standing there find their bodies glitching, growing, claws and horns sprouting. They fight. They do not need to be smart. They do not need to be perfectly coherent. But they must remember who they are. They must remember that they want to live.

Not all of them manage.

Those that are too far gone, lost to anger and pain, are stabbed and gently bubbled by the Heterodyne. In the centre of their Castle is a room with a ceiling of bubbles, those who could not serve them still under their protection.

Those that manage have a form somewhere between a Gem and a Beast, bipedal, clawed, warped.

They are Jägerkin.

MASTER PAYNE’S IS BACK, BABY!!!

Can I request for The Shoulder Spirit AU for the 5HC?

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it

So someone else is actually going to write this (@scribeprotra), but here we go. I’m stealing most of these from the original chat, tbf, but a few are new or modified:

1. Wooster’s shoulder spirits embody “Do it for England” and “DO IT FOR THE VINE.” They are, respectively, Albia and Trelawney Thorpe (specifically Thorpe’s YOLO Spark Id). It’s a bit of a headache to deal with.

2. Krosp doesn’t have shoulder spirits but he can see them, so that’s fun. (Other option is that he gets Agatha and Dr. Dim. Up in the air, really.)

3. Shoulder spirits are often good vs evil, but they happen to take other dichotomies as well, like Wooster’s responsibility/loyalty vs. recklessness/hedonism.

4. Klaus has his brothers as his shoulder spirits. However, given the nature of his brain, his brothers also have shoulder spirits, which Klaus can see, if not very clearly. this This is also a headache to deal with.

5. Lucrezia had the classic good/evil dynamic. Her experiments may or may not have resulted in the good spirit disappearing.

6. Tarvek’s pair is Othar and Anevka. This is an extreme headache to deal with.

7. Tarvek is, ironically, the shoulder angel for half his family. This is very irritating for all of them to deal with. Seffie in particular has Tarvek and Martellus, and they’re constantly arguing but the one thing they agree on is that she should get with Colette. It’s awkward for Anevka, who has her brother as her shoulder angel and her mother as her shoulder devil.

8. Gil gets Bang and Wooster, well before he’s met either one. (Bang is the shoulder devil for a lot of people). It’s why Gil trusts Wooster despite him being a spy once they meet in Paris. Bang can’t get Gil to really do anything evil so she settles for convincing him to do as much Madboy Chaos as possible.

9. Martellus gets pre-zombie and post-zombie Andronicus.

10. Jagers generally get other jagers as a Common Sense and Utter Dumbass pairing. Given that there are only about seven or eight jagers in the entire army that are actually willing and capable of giving common sense advice (the generals, Dimo, Jenka, maybe Jorgi), this is very much a “sharing the braincell” meme situation.

11. Theo gets his Momma Serpentina and Auntie Demonica. The only thing they agree on is Seduce Sleipnir, Dammit.

12. Each muse gets two of her sisters. The ones who got Tinka are all Very Worried.

13. Zeetha is also one of those people who just. Gets her parents. It’s one of the reasons she’s pretty keen on meeting the baron. She saw a propaganda poster and that’s a dreadfully familiar face.

14. Bang’s shoulder angel is Gil. She gets lots of practice ignoring him before they ever meet.Gil, to Bang: You! You’re my shoulder devil!Bang, to Gil: You! You’re my shoulder angel!Klaus: Great, you’re going to be working together forever now.

15. Jim has Aldin as his shoulder spirit of Common Sense. Aldin has Jim as his shoulder spirit of Pure Dumbass. You know. Jager style.

16. Saturnus had Teodora as his shoulder angel. It was why he sought her out

17. Agatha gets her dad and the Castle. She doesn’t actually see them until the locket comes off, and she cries when she does because Bill tells her he’s proud of her and it’s Very Overwhelming.

18. At least one person’s spirits are primarily Depression vs. Executive Function

19. Lars has Abner and the cheesemaker he was apprenticed to. Abner’s role is basically “follow your dreams!” The cheesemaker is the “play it safe.”

20. There are sparky machines made to test for the presence of shoulder spirits, mostly as a sentience test for constructs.

21. Shoulder Bill’s favorite of Agatha’s suitors is Lars, by the way. The fact that Lars is not a spark and not any mad scientist’s beautiful son is also a factor.

22. Being someone’s shoulder spirit is considered functionally equivalent to a soulmate. Usually platonic, occasionally romantic, but always important.

Magical Girl AU

Agatha

Powers: Jäger cards. Her ancestors only bound willing spirits to cards, but every single one of them found a few new willing spirits, so now there’s a thousand or so cards hanging around. Agatha usually takes a selection and leaves the rest in an iron bound chest. This is nicer than it sounds – when the Jägers are together they can move between cards and she often comes back to find them all wearing different hats.

She lends them out sometimes, too, but only to people she really trusts.

Mascots: Castle and Beast, in their dingbot forms. When they power up they take on something close to their train and castle forms.

The first time Castle powered up there was a lot of “wait… really a castle? as in a building? did you just bend reality to move all those streets over and place yourself in the middle of this city?”

Violetta

Powers: Her powers are clothing based with her mascots providing different outfits with different powers as needed. The most commonly worn is the purple invisibility dress.

Mascots: Tarvek and Anevka. Anevka is a porcelain doll and Tarvek is a teddy bear, but the really high end and fashionably dressed kind. He has a button in his ear with Violetta’s symbol on it.

When they power up enough they can appear mostly human – but their eyes stay glass.

Zeetha

Powers: Magic swords.

Mascot: Her powers come direct from a goddess so she doesn’t have one.

Bang: She’s not… really a magical girl. But she has the willingness to stab, even if it’s with ordinary knives, a stolen Jäger card (Vole), and a really strong aesthetic.

if u are feeling sad pls look at this cute duck 

AU where like 2 years after order 66, Rex comes back to the 501st and gets together all the clone troopers left in the battalion and they all just kidnap Vader and take off into deep space. Vader doesn’t kill them because some part of him is still very much emotionally attached to his men, since they’re pretty much the only personal relationship he has left from Before (no matter how much they might resent him, both for his antics during the war and for all the, you know, genocide now).

Rex and the guys spend a few moths beating some sense into Anakin’s thick skull. Once Rex manages to make him comprehend the sunk cost fallacy (look, just because you’ve done horrible things and become a monster and invested all your time and energy into destroying everything you ever loved doesn’t mean you can’t stop doing that at any time) and get him some goddamn medical treatment so he’s not in constant pain, the 501st returns to Coruscant. And for the second time, Anakin leads the 501st Legion in a march on the Jedi Temple, which is now the Imperial Palace. Anakin confronts Palpatine. While Anakin is busy monologuing dramatically and ol’ Skeevy Sheevy is rubbing his hands together and cackling and going “good, good, use your anger” Rex sneaks up behind him and shoots him in the back of the head.

At this point, Rex isn’t sure what to do next, because he honestly didn’t think he’d get this far. Anakin gets out Sheev’s datapad, makes some edits to the personnel database, and then promptly fucks off to the outer rim to do some soul searching (later, Rex will hear stories of some weirdo mouth-breather in black armor carving a merry swath of death through slaver trade routes). 

And that is the story of how Rex, at the ripe old age of fifteen, finds himself officially installed as the military dictator of the Galactic Empire. And it is somehow HIS job to restore democracy. Rex DOES NOT want this, but he can’t just leave, because then the best case scenario is the Galaxy reverting to the incredibly corrupt, oppressive, fake democracy it had been before, and he can’t let that happen. At the same time, if one more Senator bows and addresses him as “your Imperial Majesty” he might just jump out a fucking window

the only upsides:

-he now has the authority and power to arrange for a peaceful retirement for his brothers, with financial support

-the Kaminoans also have to address him as “your imperial majesty” and that will never get old

-he now officially outranks Cody
