Dumb Au Idea - Tumblr Posts

Recently I was thinking about my MCs. I thought about a minor role reversal with MCs and LIs.

I chose MCs who would be in relationships with men and women because I HATE gender-locked books!!

I tried to correlate which MC the LI would choose with little “reviews” LOL! Would you call this satire? I don’t think so but I don’t know…

Just a random idea I wanted to share…

Who would you choose?

done and done

AU where everything else is the same except the Minish Cap is a cowboy hat.

Tonight's mood: dumb AU/crossover ideas, probably.

Dumb idea #1: Dragon age inquisition/spectrobes crossover. Rallen is the inquisitor. Hyjinx such as this ensues:

Cullen: they're demons!

Rallen, petting a rydrake: for the last time, my spectrobes are not demons.

Cullen: well then prove it!

Rallen, spinning around to hold a Komainu to Cullens face: would a demon do this?

*Komainu licks Cullen's nose*

Rallen to Corypheus: sheeesh, and I thought Krux looked bad.

Cassandra: No.

Rallen, holding a fossil of a dragon hatchling: what do you mean no?

Cassandra: last time I let you bring a skeleton back with you, you holed up in your room for half an hour, wordless singing could be heard from your quarters, and when you finally came out you were holding a Griffin hatchling.

Cassandra, after seeing Rallen emerge with a newly awakened spectrobe: you know what? I don't want to know. I don't want to know what kind of magic you used to summon that, and I definitely don't want to know if blood magic was involved.

Solas: but I certainly want to know.

Dumb AU idea #2: Demise is a separate being from Ganondorf in ocarina of time, but is possessing Ganondorf. Demise can be removed from Ganondorf via the song of healing. Demise is turned into a mask and Ganondorf is reverted to how he was when demise possessed him: a child. Insert Link and Ganondorf going on adventures together and generally giving the royal guards nightmares and headaches here.

Dumb AU idea number 3: reverse mystery dungeon. A pokemon gets turned into a human. That is all I shall say.

Dumb AU idea #4: Giovanni isn't the boss of team rocket. Instead, he was a teen who joined team rocked due to desperation, and was helped to leave team rocket by a gym leader who took him in. Skip forward in time, Giovanni is now a gymleader himself and a single dad to his biological son Silver and his adoptive children Red and Leaf. He just wants a good life for his kids, and will cold cock anyone who tries to hurt them.

And yes this is 100% just an excuse for fluff, but it could also be interesting to explore the possibility of team Rainbow Rocket Giovanni showing up to cause problems on purpose.

Dumb AU idea #5: instead of 1 mewtwo, there are 3. Both of the mega mewtwo forms are instead a separate mewtwo. Some pokemon protagonist (either an adult Red or a swsh trainersona, idk) gets thrown back in time [to before the mewtwos have been let out of their tubes for the first time] and ends up landing right in front of the big old tubes holding the mewtwos. The pokemon champion breaks the mewtwos out and escapes with them to some deserted island. So now a time traveler pokemon champion is taking care of 3 mewtwos who are significantly less traumatized. Insert tooth rotting fluff here.

Dumb AU idea #6: mewtwo!Red. Giovanni said to himself "go big or go home" and threw in dna from other legendaries into mewtwo for giggles. This goes about as well as you would expect. After excaping, mewtwo finds a hat that he decides he likes and keeps it. He also takes on the name Red. Eventually Red the mewtwo meets blue/gary oak. The poor boy is now forever tormented by the strange psychic cat(?) In a hat that won't leave him alone. Also at some point red gets his paws on some pokeballs and starts catching pokemon for his own team.

I like your au #4 very interesting

Thanks! It's one that's been sitting around in my head for a while. I had an interesting concept for an addition to it this morning actually: Giovanni helps the international police take down team rocket. Giovanni happens to help during the mission to shut down the facility where mewtwo is being made. So at the end of the raid Giovanni decides to adopt a small young mewtwo. Yes this also more excuse for fluff.

Another dumb AU idea, probably.

So the hero of time looks like the first hero from that one skyward sword manga right? So here's the dumb idea: the hero of time, years after his adventures and an adult once again, wakes up to the song of time ringing in his ears, in a place he doesn't recognize, and wearing a green tunic and red scarf that is definitely not his. That's when some people show up, see the hero of time in the first hero's garb, and immediately assume that he is in fact the first hero. They then drag him back to whatever strong hold they are holed up at or whatever. This leads the hero of time being force to pretend to be the first hero while figuring out what the hell is going on. Also the hero of time needing to restrain his burning desire to punch the goddesses hylia in the face.

Random notes:

Hylia doesn't recognize that the hero of time isn't the first hero, she identifies mortals by their souls and the hero of time does in fact have the soul of the first hero.

Hylia does notice the sudden "personally shift", especially how he keeps avoiding her and tenses up whenever she's around. She's worried for her hero and vows to figure out what's wrong and make it right. She's doing this with the best intentions, not realizing that it's only making the hero of time more stressed.

Link has all of his gear from his adventures and is not afraid to use them. He avoided using them at first out of fear of being found out, but eventually ends up realizing that saving people is way more important and just either deflects questions about his "new" gear or bullshits his way out of the situation.

The fierce diety isn't evil, and link using the mask could be used as the "identity reaveal"

Another option: the hero of time became the feirce diety after the fight with majora, and low key works with the goddess of time now. The goddess of time was pissed off when she finds out what the hero of time had been through, and decides that hylia obviously is NOT responsible enough to have a chosen hero and yoinks link. This of course opens up the possibility for the goddess of time showing up and giving hylia a stern lecture. Hijinks ensues.

This entire concept is perfect for angst and drama and yet here I am wanting to use it almost exclusively for hyjinx and Tomfoolery.

I just had a weird dream that could be a dumb au idea, probably.

So, the hero of time after his adventures gets transformed into the hero's shade. Not because he died or anything, he just got cursed or something and now is a stalfos. He spends his time at lonlon ranch helping out with stuff, and malon and her dad are used to his presence. One day link gets thrown through time to the future and now has to save hyrule once again. Que everyone being confused by why a snarky stalfos who is full to the brim with dad jokes is now saving the day.

Bonus points from the dream:

Malon and link are married. They got married pre link becoming the hero's shade, and she still loves her skelly husband.

Link is Zelda's cousin, I know this was important in the dream but I can't remember why.

The hero's shade becomes everyone's dad.

The vilan summons undead, and is trying to revive a dead god. After some time, the villain comes to believe that Link is the god they're trying to revive, and uses their magic on link. This breaks Link's curse, and link returns to being a hylian. After the ensuing battle, a newly "revived" Link finds himself trying to calm down his frantic allies and explain to them that he is actually their skeleton dad, but with organs.

Edit: there is now a part 2 of this nonsense.

Have another one of my many eternatus centric AUs:

Eternatus is resurrected, either by Rose or just on its own. The legendary disguises itself as a human child. Eternatus then meets Leon and Hop and our intrepid bro duo immediately imprint on the legendary in disguise, bring them back to their house, and ask their mom "can we keep them????".

She agrees to take on another chaotic child for some reason.
