the “I’m sick of your shit” face, futuristic four edition
I am once again posting about Futuristic Four: this time featuring some info about my "au" and their super suits!
From left to right:
Wilbur- xmen inspired suit, gold/yellow head piece, belt and logo. Head peice is to track "jump likeliness" percentage.
Penny- spy like body suit, visor for vitals and communication. Tazers built into gloves and boots. Logo is bolt logo.
Violet- a purple and black version of her original suit, inspo from elastigirl original outfit. Logo is a burst force field.
Hiro- only the helmet changed, has a vital screen and a percentage for Wilbur's "jumping" issue (explained below)
Ok so first off, info on why they need suits and how they "met". In the au, they all live in the future (I couldn't come up with how Violet got dragged into this mess). Hiro stays in San Fransokyo, Wilbur and Penny are in today land and Violet is in the next city over, Metroville. Metroville is right near old town and the people in that city live like it's the 60's.
Anyways, I'll explain all of this at some point but right now, here's the gist: Penny, Hiro and Violet (and their teams) all separately are trying to stop Dr. Calico from getting his hands on a Time Machine. All the teams where asked by Cornielius Robinson because Wilbur is being held for ransom.
They plan to give Calico a Time Machine but rig it to blow up and send itself back in time so they can go back and get it later. Once he figures this out a brawl happens. In the middle of it all is Penny, Wilbur, Hiro and Violet who go for the TM but it goes off early and Wilbur (who was in the drivers seat) absorbs most of the main blast before they get sent to 2012.
Now they're stuck there until they can fix the Time Machine and go home. They stay with Franny's (wilburs mom) family. The blast from the Time Machine does give Wilbur and Penny powers but it takes awhile for them to realize it. Cuz they were the closest to the initial blast.
Wilbur gains time jumping powers and Chronokinesis (he can manipulate time to an extent. Ex: he can make everyone around him slow or himself super fast. But he can't stop time.) but he cannot control his time jumping, when he tries (or worse, holds back a jump) it usually leads to pain (migraines and feeling like he took a hammer to the chest). Luckily that power has a timer. Every couple of days (maybe hours) he' ll uncontrollably time jump between 2012 and whatever time after or before that.
Penny gained the power to speak to animals and to an extent control them. Over using this power does lead to a bunch of peoples pets flocking the house and getting chased by dogs. He gets a hold of it soon tho.
Relationships will be explained later this week lol, for now gn 😎
Penbur au stuff
Haha let it be known NOW, Wilbur is not gonna have a fun time for awhile
Wilbur as a defence attorney: [mouthing 'girl this is bullshit' to the judge (Penny) as the prosecutor talks]
Penny: [shaking her head and mouthing 'I know baby"]
More au stuff, remember, when I say "it gets worse before it gets better" I do not mean it's a one arc thing
HA
No. I mean, this is something that will probably last until the end of the story
Anywho enjoy the gang watching stranger things
Futuristic Four Headcanons
Violet collects vinyl records!! Whenever Wilbur time-travels, either to the future or the past, he gets her new records. It makes her really fucking happy
Cornelius (Wilbur’s dad) and Hiro studied together at SFIT and are actually pretty good friends!! (I haven’t decided if they spent all four years studying together or if Cornelius did an exchange for a year or something)
Wilbur really likes jazz music. He grew up listening to it because of his mom, and he grew to be really fond of it. This results in the gang taking a lot of trips to the 1920s to listen to the music and dance the night away
Penny and Wilbur have the Ultimate Pity Parties together. Although they usually convey an air of confidence, they feel as if they’re not strong or smart enough to be part of the team sometimes. Hiro and Violet don’t know about it, at least not for a long time
Wilbur and Violet would not get along at all when they first meet.
She takes his Confidence Act as arrogance and finds his determination to execute half-thought plans exasperating
He thinks that she’s a drag because she constantly disagrees with his ideas and acts like she thinks she has the right to tell him what to do (when she’s merely giving viable options based on past crimefighting experiences)
It probably goes on for a while but since they both like Penny and Hiro they deal with it
After a moment of catharsis (idk after a mission or maybe in the middle of it), they finally begin to understand one another and get over it and a beautiful friendship begins to grow
For some reason I constantly imagine Penny and Hiro going out for slushies late at night. They would sit by the curb or near the parking lot and just talk about things they don’t feel comfortable talking about during the day.
like Tadashi’s death
like Penny’s dad’s disappearance
like how neither of them knows what they’re doing sometimes and they’re just hoping it’s the right thing
also I think there would be reassuring hugs and little hand touches and maybe a forehead kiss on a night he was feeling especially bold
Wilbur is the team’s coffee patch supplier (though dealer sounds more appropriate for some reason). He usually gets them for them during midterms and finals week. Hiro unsurprisingly uses them the most out of the four of them.
Not to be a downer but willet nation, can one of y’all explain the appeal for team future??? I read it (and skipped damn near 75% future Wilbur and Violet had me annoyed) did NOT enjoy 😭
How is this the “best” willet fic out there I genuinely want an answer
Anywho uhh peak (implied???) willet imo is from https://archiveofourown.org/users/LibertyBelleAnne/pseuds/LibertyBelleAnne/works?fandom_id=24807930
Go read these, they’re fire 😎
Ight gn
Baymax! is canon!! Actually I’ll list that as in the story 💪💪 also httyd 2
Also quick cheat for watching all the big four movies, watch people on YouTube react to them, it’s usually the most important parts 👍
For httyd btw watch the first two movies not the third one for prime big four understanding (the third didn’t come out until the fandom died down a bit)
E-8 Au Stuff P1
Au ranting time for @g4v1nsgun ✨✨✨ (sorry i took a a while)
Also credits to @guardianofzing for one of the images i use here and credits to however else made the others cuz idk
So everyone knows both of these groups right, rotbtd and the futuristic four
Yeah we all know them
To my complete surprise there is little to no content with all eight of them, which is crazy cuz this being a crossover fandom i assumed people would go nuts for a team up
So i decided to do it myself, and i introduce them as: The Elite Eight (ft a mediocre edit)
The team dynamics would work the same way they would as in their regular settings, i.e.:
Hiccup and Penny are the voices of reason, Merida and Wilbur are the thrill seekers etc etc
Only difference is now that the group is basically 4 freshmen and 4 juniors we have the classic Mentor and Student dynamic
As for the world building, to sum it up rq. It’s a modern/futuristic with magic universe combining brave, tangled/tts, bh6, bolt, mtr, the incredibles(1-2) and elements of rotg and httyd (specifically race to the edge)
Things like dragons, wisps, and magic all exist, but in a percy jackson type fashion. Only specific people can see these things ykwim
The movies are all canon (not rotg, for reasons to be elaborated on later) but with a modern twist, to be explained below:
How To Train Your Dragon - 3 years pre-canon
Meet The Robinsons, Bolt - 2 years pre-canon
Big Hero Six - 1 year pre-canon
Brave, Tangled, Rise Of The Guardians - in the story
As for ROTG, the whole “guardians of childhood” thing isn’t in this au because i couldn’t make it work. So for a modern retelling of that, tldr Jack is basically a teen in the foster system with major amnesia. The guardians are as they were but they’re not “guardians”, more like Jacks new foster family that also happen to be a bunch of magical creatures and myths.
The guardians and their house are basically a fusion of professor xaviors mansion/school for mutants(X-Men), the house in The Grimm Sisters, the treehouse in The Last Kids On Earth and the camp in Percy Jackson.
As for the superhero aspect, Violet and Hiro are gonna get the Peter Parker treatment. They’re hiding things from everyone else, which is crazy because everyone in the group is hiding something and i think that’s super funny
That’s it for part one! Part two will be up later on at some point
