While I am working on the requests I got (yes I didn’t forget and I will be posting them soon as in the next few days) I had an idea. How would y’all like a creative exploration into the Invincible Variants being kept alive to try and be used as weapons against viltrumites? This would completely change how the comic goes but 🤷🏽♀️ idk food for thought or however the fuck the saying goes. Anyways au idea, yay or nay?
Okay by the title it might seem like I’m in defense of what they did to the Undercity but I’m not. This is a weird gripe I have with how people reacted when they found out the two were sleeping together. Spoilers for Arcane season 1 & 2
So when I was watching season 2 of Arcane for the first time, around the time it came out because I was trying to hold off watching it to watch it with my sister but I failed, I think I had a very chill reaction to Cait sleeping with Maddie. I saw Maddie pop up and I was like, “oh, I didn’t see that coming” and continued to watch it without thinking that much into it. At this point Maddie hadn’t bertrayed Cait as this was still Act 2, not to Act 3 yet so I still liked Maddie.
Going online was very different. People started to hate her for sleeping with Caitlyn and I was confused. I don’t know, but I just have the reaction of like “okay?” Because it’s not a crime to sleep with someone. Then came the slut shaming comments towards Cait, that’s where I have the gripe. It’s very odd to me how people were mad at Caitlyn for sleeping with someone while she’s still single. She was not with Vi, it’s not cheating.
To me, I got this odd sense of purification culture, even if it was unintentional. The reaction people had to Cait sleeping with someone while she’s single compared to Jayce was odd. From what I saw, and I could be wrong, no one had a negative reaction to Jayce sleeping with Mel while single. And I’m not saying people should, because both should be able to without judgment.
It was weird to me, that people were more concerned that Cait was a “slut” than her leaving Vi crying on the ground after she hit her in the stomach with her gun. I’m bad at putting thoughts into words but I just got an icky feeling of people slutshaming the two. You’re allowed to sleep with other people! You’re allowed to date other people! That’s life, I know I haven’t stayed with one person in my life. Dating and sleeping with others is to see what you like, it’s okay to experiment.
Idk if people will understand what I’m saying but I had to get it out there. Screaming into the void
So this is, like, spur of the moment type shi but if any of you guys want to send requests/asks for invincible related content- I would be happy to indulge. I will mostly do writing but maybe on a good day I can give out some sketches. Invincible is my hyper-fixation rn and I want to write for it before it possibly fizzles out.
I do have to say I didn't think this through entirely so there may be things that I didn't write down or mention so I apologize and I will add edits to the post if I have to.
P.s.: I may be making a small sketching series where I make my own invincible variants. We'll see how that goes.
Reader inserts (gender neutral, fem, or male)
Black reader inserts (I am black so I am comfortable writing for specifically black audiences)
Pregnancy
Aus
Smut/nfsw
crossovers
Headcanons/imagines/one-shots
violence/death
polyamory relationships
ocs
fluff
angst
lgbtq relationships/sexualities
And I think that's all folks! I will probably update this later but I want to post this and then go back to what I was drawing. If you want to see some of my artwork to see a reference of what my sketches may look like if you do want to ask for a drawing, then I will post some of my work. Stay healthy, hydrated and safe folks!
I have this stickers up on my Redbubble if anyone is interested in them. I plan to do the rest of the variants but they’re a little more difficult to me for some reason! Anyways enjoy!
What if I said that Mark being with Eve goes against the theme of Mark keeping his connection to his humanity?
What if I said Kirkman only had Comic!Amber to make mark realize he can’t be with normal women and needs a super powered one with an instant resurrection from death woman?
What if I said that in expanding the themes in the tv show, showing how having his connection to his mom is what keeps Mark good, his human mom!
What is I said that Eve is not only a bad match character wise because she only placates and fucks Mark, but also because she removes his connection from humanity?
And what if I said that Immortal is better than Mark because despite him knowing that every woman he loves will die and he will live on, he spends their entire life with them because being human is more important than being a superhero?
Author’s note: as someone who lost my mom, I had to write for full mask mark losing his mom. Different circumstances, but still has grief all the same
Warnings: Death, grief
(Technically a short story for the Invincible AVRP AU but can be read by itself)
Characters: Full Mask Mark Grayson, Debbie Grayson

“Mama!” His high pitched child voice squeaks out, running to her with open arms as if he forgot she was there with him. She smiles wider as he kneels down to his level, opening her arms wide. He giggles and crashes full force into her, knowing that she will always be there to catch him, to break his fall. He laughs as she hums “woah!” At his enthusiasm to ses her. She lifts him up into her arms, wrapping them around his tiny body to make sure he’s secure. Nothing will hurt him.
“Look mama!” He hands her the flower, and she gasps and takes it from his delicate hands.
“Woah, thank you, sweetie.” He beams at the praise.
“Do you know what flower this is?” He shakes his head in return.
“This is a buttercup, if you hold it under your chin and your chin is yellow it means you like butter” he gasps in return and lets his mother hold it under his chin.
“Oh, looks like someone likes butter” she teases and lightly tickles his tummy. He giggles in response before chuckling out, “now you try mama!”
She hums and holds it under her chin with a smile, the buttercup glowing a yellow hue under her chin, “is my chin yellow”
He gasps and nods, like this is some sort of witchcraft he’s never seen before.
“Let’s go see if your dad likes butter” Mark cheers as she lets him down, holding the buttercup as his tiny legs run to his dad.

“Do you remember that, mom? After that I have always picked you a buttercup or two on Mother’s Day until I was able to buy my own flowers. Always of a yellow variety though, it has to be in theme,” he chuckles weakly before talking again, “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom”
Mark pressed a soft kiss to her temple, as tears dropped onto her pale skin. He pulls away, as he stares at her lifeless body. He can’t let go though, they haven’t had enough time together. They never got to go on a mother-son vacation, she will never see him have children, she will never get to even reach the age of 60. In his head, he hopes by some miracle she will gasp for air again, but he’s tried all he could. CPR didn’t even work but crushed her ribs.
He carried her over to the couch, hugging her close and he pulled a blanket over her. He doesn’t want her to get cold, she always hated the cold. Out during sunny days was what she loved. The yellow lilies, daffodils and buttercups were wilted on the floor, the water spilling, the vase shattered.
He runs a hand over her cheek, feeling her body slowly get cooler. He clenches his teeth, thinking of all the times she said I love you, and he wished he said them back. Or the times he would rush out of the house to play at a friend’s house and she looked disappointed that he didn’t stay to eat her cooking. Or when he would play with his dad more than her. What if she hates him for that? He’s sure hating himself right now for that.
He hums a tune to an old song they used to play in the car as he braids her hair. He knows she’s dead, even if he doesn’t want to accept it, but she deserves to look beautiful even after she lives.

“Mama?”
Debbie turns, she hadn’t heard Mark use that name in a while. He looks in shock, on the verge of tears, and he wraps her in an almost crushing hug- literally.
“Mark?! What’s gotten into you? We had dinner together yesterday. Are you happy to see me?” She chuckles it off.
“Mom, oh god- I want you to know I love you, you mean the world to me. You raised me better than this” He rambles as his voice quivers, his eyes watering and ready to overflow.
“Mark? Seriously, what’s wrong?”
“I got you these”
He hands her a bouquet of lilies, daffodils and buttercups, with specks of dirt on them like he found them and pulled them from the dirt himself.
“Happy Mother’s Day, Mama…”
I love her and I’m glad that I can find Amber fans on tumblr because the haters drive me up a wall
I love Amber and her fuckass hair so much!!! If Amber has no fans I am DEAD. Fight me but she’s so much better than Eve
This will be called the AVRP AU from now on, and here’s a few of the base line notes I wrote for the Au. This Au is meant to be shared, so if you want to create your own interpretation of it, I encourage it! Ideas and questions are also encouraged so I can expand the story of the AU.
I have some designs for the variants, some sketches, and some story building that I hope to share in the near future! Also, anyone have ideas for names for the variants? I don’t want to just call them Mohawk, Viltrum, Tracksuit, etc, because those aren’t real names yk?
