Alcatraz Smedry - Tumblr Posts

Literally picked THE WORST people for the job.
I’m calling it now he’s gonna end up with a broken nose, bloody lip, and a dent in his skull.
Me to my brain: Don’t think of stupid stuff.
My brain at 3 am: What happens when an Oculator’s uses bestowers lenses and accidentally bestows their own oculatory abilities through them-
Alcatraz: I said DISTRACT them, not knock them out!
Bastille, standing over two unconscious Librarians: There’s just no pleasing you, is there?
Bastille: So do you have a plan or are we just gonna barge in all willy-nilly?
Alcatraz: You know, willy-nilly barging IS a plan of sorts.
Alcatraz: But what if I’m lack toes in tall of rent?
Bastille: Then grow some toes, Smedry.
Alcatraz, holding Attica’s lens at 3 AM: tHeY cAn’T hEaR yOu! YoU’rE jUsT a VoiCe iN mY hEaD!
Just had an idea for an AVTEL OC backstory!!!
So we’re gonna start out with the fact that there are probably kids from surviving lines of Oculators in the Hushlands who, having lived there their whole lives, (and with everyone around them being brainwashed to boot,) don’t know they’re Oculators and will probably never know because who gives random Hushlanders access to Oculatory lenses, right?
And AVTEL is canonically being printed in the Free Kingdoms as an autobiography AND IN THE HUSHLANDS AS A FANTASY SERIES, right?
So let’s say one of those surviving Oculator-line kids got their hands on AVTEL at the bookstore and found themself really liking it.
So they read the rest.
They didn’t think anything of the factuality of the book until some undisclosed amount of time later they found a relative (distant either figuratively or literally) of theirs (who was, job description, a librarian) sneaking away somewhere, so the kid followed said relative into a room. There are lenses on the shelves, various panels and shards of glass in various tints and shades.
The relative leaves the room at some point, at which time the kid curiously picks up a pair of red tinted lenses, puts them on as a joke, and promptly falls backwards from the sheer light emitted by all the glass stuff in the room.
Shenanigans ensue.
@obsessed-with-words-on-a-page i may be an idiot but we who are burdened with the knowledge of the Librarian Empire must share it alone sorry
Alcatraz, mid battle: OOOOOOOHHHH!!!
Alcatraz: WE ARE BREAKING THINGS!!!

Made an AVTEL thing! If you can spot Percy, Reyna, and Nico you get a virtual cookie for each one ya spot :3
If i had a nickel for every time the main character in a series I liked had one parent who abandoned them “for the greater good” and another parent who’s… trying… but like. They’re evil and at the end of the day parent and child are on opposite sides, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Ninjago fans this is your sign to read Alcatraz vs the evil librarians
And AVTEL fandom vice versa lol
Throwback to when my 12-yo self thought Alcatraz broke his parents’ relationship hahahaaa
Beginning of The Dark Talent in a nutshell (SPOILERS IN THE TAGS)
Bastille: You lot are crazy.
Dif: Hey! I resemble that remark!
Alcatraz: Don’t you mean resent?
Dif: No she’s pretty much spot on
