Wally Finds A Beast In The Woods

Oooooo, that design for the core is super cool, I love them being a fucked up olm thing. I wonder, were they “created” already being an olm, or was some olm used as the body for them to inhabit when the core was created? I just noticed the note about their current host being an olm kicked out of proteus lol nvm …Do they still have a reason to use Marcy as a host like in canon, if they already have a host in that olm? Also, do they have a “true” form, or are they simply formless without a host?

Other questions, can all humans use magic if they know how in this au, or did the calamity stones unlock the ability in the girls when they absorbed their power? What kind of magic do you think Anne’s parents would learn, if they could?

So you mention Marbles the moth was made as a way to communicate with the core… does it have a mind of its own, or was Marcy unknowingly always communicating with the core when she uses Marbles? …Actually wait, I might be making an assumption there that Marbles would work like a Palisman from the Owl House. Is Marbles animate? Or is it just a staff shaped like a moth?

Thank you! I got inspired by a design for the Core I saw online that was olm shaped so I used that idea haha. This olm essentially sacrificed themself to become the body for this artificial god, its mind being absorbed into the core like all the rest. So the olm is pretty much their “True Form.” The Core uses Marcy’s body to begin its plans, as it can possess beings while still being asleep. Marcy falls victim to this because she finds Marbles and has the wit gem’s power embedded into her which ends up awakening Marbles.

As for humans using magic, if they had access to the ingredients in Amphibia they could, but the magic is unique to Amphibia and its resources. It’s like Luz in the Boiling Isles: she herself has no magic but she can use the magical resources around her. The stones are what gave the trio their powers, as the box was unused for a long enough time that a bit of their power will always be embedded in them until the box gets destroyed. If Anne’s parents could learn magic I think Mrs. Boonchuy would learn fire magic and Mr. Boonchuy would learn electric magic (I’ve actually been considering if they decide to go with her to Amphibia in this au cuz I always thought that’d be cool.)

Marbles does work similarly to how a Palisman does in the owl house, but it can’t detach from the staff. It gains its own personality when the wit gem’s power is infused into it, but this is also what gets the Core’s attention. I wrote some stuff down about Marbles here:

As always, you are welcome to ask more questions! They are very fun to answer :D

Finally decided to do this lil challenge. Super fun, def gonna do it again!

It’s almost Art Fight time baby I’m gettin hyped >:D

I did the meme guys

Ooo I really like your Anne design with the horn-branches! You mentioned the design was for an au, what’s it about?

Thank you!

My AU is a sort of… fantasy AU I suppose? It’s hard to give it a concrete a name since amphibia is already pretty fantastical haha. But it takes more inspiration from some of the beta designs and incorporates the magic of the stones (and magic in general) into daily life. For example, the Plantars specialize in Druid magic to help their crops grow.

This is why Anne’s hair has blue in it: the magic from the Heart gem shows itself much more though her. Also there’s an early design where Anne’s hair was full-on blue like Hilda lol. Each of the trio has magic that they can use. Anne starts to practice hers when she arrives with the Plantars and finds her magic mostly has to do with plant life. Sasha can enter a barbarian-like rage when she gets emotional and this leads to conflict later. Marcy ends up finding a magic staff of sorts with a moth on the end in the woods that she can use to cast magic. It can also speak to her for Lore Reasons :)

I don’t really have a concrete story in place, mostly just bits and pieces. It follows most of the main general arcs the original series has with some key differences. Andrias is known to be a tyrant from the start but he’s also a total recluse. No one has seen him in years so it’s been relatively peaceful (save for the toads and their barbaric ways. They essentially do Andrias’ job for him.) The Core is an artificial god created when the stones were first gifted to the people of Amphibia. The deity had to step in when it got too powerful and, when it was unable to destroy it, cursed the Core to sleep forever. But now that the stones’ power is in the three human girls, the Core begins to stir, especially when Marcy finds that staff in the woods.

Here’s some refs for what I’ve drawn the trio as (Marcy and Sasha refs are old art lol):

But yeah! Thank you for the ask so much, I absolutely adore talking about this AU, as it’s the one I’ve developed the most. Feel free to ask more about it!!

I’m watching the episode with the Fright Knight and his voice was scratching my brain so I went and looked him up and he voices a character in TMNT 2012!

Which honestly doesn’t surprise me but it was fun to recognize his voice (doesn’t surprise me because both properties belong to Nickelodeon)

Neat! I love it when I recognize a character’s voice from another show and I just go

Fright Knight is also a pretty cool character

I watched the first episode of Danny Phantom! :D

I like it! :D plan to keep watching it and see if it becomes a hyperfixtation or anything

I didn’t realize it was so short though. Wow

YEEEEAAAHHH WOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOO

I’m glad you liked it!! Keep me posted for sure. And ye it sadly doesn’t run too long and it didn’t end too well imo but there are def some gems in there

Here are all the artfight attacks I did this year! They were so much fun to do!!

First one was for blueberry_muffin_20

Second was for Brandt

Third was for @coffeecakecafe

Fourth was for @raendrs

Fifth was for @solacerider

Sixth was for @autism2009

And last but not least was for @unexaltedonewhoisnotking

Would you be okay with me using your art as reference for my fic? I'm the author of Gotham's Youngest Ghost on ao3, and your art is EXACTLY how I've been picturing Danny to look. I'd credit you, of course. If not, no worries!

GGDJJFJSJ Omg yes go ahead!! I’d be honored! Thank you for asking :)
