Forgive Me For My AU Ramblings But

Forgive me for my AU ramblings but—

Finding out from @innerchorus how Gurgin was always attracted to… darkness, sort of, and had a tendency to poke things that should not be poked at even before his brother’s death… His tendency to question the norms laid before him (how interesting to say “might is stronger than faith” when he’s a priest-in-training, eh?), I can’t help but wonder what he’d think if or when he finds out about the clan.

Because even if none of the other disciples may know, I’ve decided that the Master definitely does. Not that they’re still alive, no, but their history, the animosity, mages vs sorcerers in the fight against Zahhak, the role the mages played in the sealing of Zahhak (unclear if he’d know about the betrayal and the sacrifice)…

Actually, how should the disciples learn of the history, anyhow? Would the Master tell them? From the start? Or only after their first run-in with a mage, probably Arslan in Ecbatana?

Because I finally have to clear my head so I can continue working on my story.

So now I'm going to bombard you with thoughts about my The heroic legend of Arslan modern AU.

Shapur

Oh my god where do I start? I have so many thoughts about him

- In his time in middle and high school, Shapur was a good judoka and was quite successful due to a shoulder injury, but he had to give up the competition

- He owns a motorbike and in his free time he likes to do some laps especially towards the mountains and forests. Sometimes he also visits Isfan when he is on duty at the ranger station at the weekend

-when he was 18 he took custody of Isfan (the backstory here is about the same as in the manga)

- Shapur is a passionate mountain biker even if he doesn't get to do it often because of his job

- He doesn't like spicy food but likes something sweet (at work he has a drawer with a stash of sweets)

- He doesn't drink much because he can't tolerate too much alcohol

- He was in the military until he was injured on a mission and retired. Kahrlan then took him to the M.o.P

- Kubard is his colleague

-Shapur is often annoyed by him, but their clearance rate and cooperation is the best in the entire team

- Shapur wakes up quickly and due to his military background he gets up early and goes jogging

- Kayra (my OC) can't understand that

"Honey why are you awake?" "stay down I'm just going jogging" "it's 5:30 on a Sunday morning" "I'll also bring fresh bread rolls" "and a croissant"

- he is a romantic

- He hates casesin which children are involved

Kubard (my brother in spirit or rather Kayra's 😂)

- Kubard wasn't in the military

- He comes from a poor area of ​​Ecbatana where there is a lot of crime

- he made it to the rank of police officer and was brought into the M.o.P through his merits

- He loves to mock Shapur and his reaction

- He played basketball when he was in school and still does today. once a week he goes to his old neighborhood to play a few rounds of basketball with the kids there and make sure they don't go down the wrong path

- he buys old houses, renovates them himself and rents them out cheaply. It's more about renovating. just let off steam and tear down a wall

- he loves vintage cars, he has three of them and tinkers around with them

- he lives in an old airplane hanger and has set up a bachelor den there, no woman has stayed more than one night so far

- he has a diving license

Ok so far until now

Might write some thoughts about Isfan, Gieve, Daryun, Saam, Narsus and Kayra (Oc) aswell

Maybe Arslan, Farangies and Elam to

“There he is, seated underneath a hornbeam tree, birds nesting in its foliage and singing alongside his own song. The song has a light, airy sort of quality to it, the sound of strings filling the air with sweetness.”

Second encounter, done!!

I shall get on with the third, and then I'll finally be able to post the whole thing. I have a feeling the third one will be longer than the second (which was shorter than the first).

Anyhow, wish me luck!!

I can't argue with that😂

Ever since @marchdancer pointed this out I can't unsee it—

He looks like a light-haired Shapur here, doesn't he??????

I wanted to redraw this sketch of “The Sword in the Stone” with these babies🥺💕
