so I figured I'd spam LJ with this AU too.

So like three years ago or something, I got a world idea. It kept lurking really quietly in the back of my brain, and I never really built on it until about nine (or ten?) months ago, when I went, "huh-- I bet Gokudera would be a witch."

So that's how Witchkudera happened. Since Bus showed interest, I got sorcerer!Xanxus pumped out at the time too

See now, this? Sounds awesome. (Dude, you never told me you could draw!)

But feel free to start explaining. I am all ears. :D? :D?

spellcheck is telling me mage is not a word

(LOL THAT'S KIND OF WHAT EVERYONE SAYS, HAHA. It never crosses my mind to mention it?)

Um, well. Basically everyone hates each other.

NO REALLY that's like the main point, almost. Tsuna finds out he's a mage-- UH. Wait, cut to explanation. Mages are just humans who find out they have magic. They usually find out they have magic by accidentally casting a fairly huge spell (or example, creating an enormous crack in the earth for their school to fall into, or suddenly negating a town's worth of voices, or noticing that there is money spilling out of their sleeves from absolutely nowhere) with the pent up magic they have subconsciously gathered throughout their lives up until that moment. Then a vulture wizard or enchantress (or witch, or warlock, or sorcerer, but those way rarer) senses the sudden burst of magic released, and they come creeping along to explain to the mages that they basically have the ability to suck awesome from the air. (And then the mages usually get Marked, which basically turns them into the enchantress's or

Witches are the race that people will usually think of after warlocks; most people immediately associate witches and warlocks in this world, if not because of the similarities in their magic and the fact that both races have outward souls, then because they hate each other so much. To the point where, even though both are consciously working towards changing everything so there will be less hatred, Haru and Gokudera actually attack each other within five seconds of seeing each other. (Witches are even taught as children to stand straighter, or at least to tip their heads back and their hips forward or to the side, because if they tip their hips back and their heads forward they will appear more like warlocks.) Witches' souls manifest as flowers, but not normal flowers, like warlocks have normal animals. The stems and sizes of the real flowers do not matter; a witch's soul will always have large blossoms and smooth, thin, leafless vines. (The flowers themselves aren't chosen by genetics, but seemingly at random.) The vines can dip in

I AM TAKING A BREAK IN THE RANTING. REPLY TO THIS AND I'LL CONTINUE TOMORROW OR SOMETHING.

Also, word limit is now my mortal enemy.

1. I wish I could draw Gokudera that well, fff.
2. BRILLIANT IDEA.

[pen_over_fist]

1. NO YOU WISH YOU COULD DRAW GOKUDERA BETTER, TRUST ME. I'm awful at anatomy, for example;;;
2. WHY THANK YOU |D

I really like the society Hana is in. She seems like the type who'd follow all those little social rules easily and to the letter, and know exactly how to use and abuse them if there was a need for it. Also, the worldbuilding on this stuns me. It's amazing.

That's pretty much the reason I made her a sorceress; she's the sort who would go through their expectations and neglect and just come out all the stronger for it.

THE WORLDBUILDING IS KILLING ME I NEED TO GET MY BRAIN UNADDICTED TO THE DETAILS IN THIS THING.

AT THIS RATE I'M GOING TO MAKE A MAP.

I CAN'T EVEN DRAW MAPS.

[come_home_laika]

AAAAAAAHHHHHH DO WANT SO MUCH. This sounds so brilliant, and I want more nooowwww.

Also, I had no idea you had a DA account. Now I wish I hadn't abandoned mine ages ago, so I could come and favorite your whole gallery.

I'M WORKING ON IT, I'M WORKING ON IT.

You need to work on your stalking capabilities; clicking Load Image on that monocle'd Chrome I drew forever ago would have revealed that it was indeed from devART. No, of course I don't check this kind of thing frequently, why would you ask?
