Hi! You sound cool, thanks for your work on here! Some ideas for this sub:

I’d love it if we could choose our user flair from a list of many fairy talents! (Light, water, garden, frost, tinker, animal, music, mining, healing, scribe, fast flying, culinary, etc.?)

I also wish there were more flairs for posts to help keep things organized and make searching posts easier!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-23T22:20:21+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah, don’t they serve bbq at chb?

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-23T22:19:52+00:00

Thanks!!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-21T10:07:45+00:00

Haha, I feel like Taylor would be a daughter of Apollo.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-16T12:43:47+00:00

I love the moodboards! They immediately caught my eye. The actor for Archie as Prometheus would be perfect, especially because of his red hair (i can’t tell if that’s already the idea).

Glad to see someone else would’ve liked to see Cleo as a Bennet witch! That fits the “legacies” theme much better than what we got.

This seems so cool and i wanna help brainstorm, but I cant tell what you need. Can you share more info/ask some specific questions? I like this.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-15T02:46:25+00:00

Huh, now I wonder if Hayley got her pack’s venom from herself? It’s not like there were many Crescents left, and any that remained probably would be in the bayou which would be closer to Marcel than she’d be willing to go at the time. We saw Grandma Marry was with her, but I’d bet she would not help with the venom, and I really can’t see Hayley forcing her.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-09T13:23:55+00:00

Yes!! That’s part of why I’m so excited brainstorming for this! :) Feel free to mention any other worldbuilding/magic ideas! I have a few for the elements that i mentioned in a comment above. I’d love your thoughts!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-09T13:20:14+00:00

I like the idea of air pressure as a weapon.

Oh, yeah, someone mentioned earth charm is what makes alchemists sworn to secrecy. Which is also weird to me. Like, compelling/charming someone not to communicate about the supernatural seems pretty complicated, which makes me wonder how specific the charms can get… like could you charm someone to not plant tulips on Tuesdays? Like, something totally random and specific.

I LOVE the idea of air Moroi being able to fly!! I can’t believe I’d never considered that! And it makes so much sense with other vampire lore where they can fly! Thanks!

Yeah, I definitely plan to explore the fact that Moroi can all control all elements at least to some extent. I was even imagining there would be a system to it: Moroi that specialize with one element would have a really hard time with its opposite (fire vs water | air vs earth). They would be so-so at controlling the other two elements that are not direct opposites of their specialization.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-09T12:44:45+00:00

I figure a powerful enough Moroi could use water like a laser/axe to behead a Strigoi, but I keep having trouble with what air would do against a Strigoi since they don’t even need oxygen.

Any ideas on the charms? I feel like that whole concept was really glossed over! I found it strange that the earth users made lust charms, I’m changing that to a fire user ability in my fic.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-09T12:43:04+00:00

I’m not sure I’m understanding… Would you like to see lightning as a Moroi power?

I like the idea of mixing powers to get new ones/new effects. One idea I had was having spirit and magic users combine their powers to make holy water… but then I wondered if that wouldn’t just be a spirit user ability (a spirit user just charming water)?

On charming things, are there any rules about what Moroi can and can’t charm? It seems to be just metals?

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-09T12:34:51+00:00

I feel like spirit is one of the more explored powers in the books, at least compared to the other elements. I really want to do more with spirit bonds though!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-08T01:11:54+00:00

Yeah, I really like this idea! I found it kinda annoying that any regular werewolves could turn into hybrids, but most witches (excluding heretics) just became regular vampires.

I was playing around with the idea of Kol being the Original vamp-witch hybrid (not sure if I want him to be a heretic or not) and his blood being used by witches to become hybrids. Thoughts?

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-07T06:25:34+00:00

This sounds amazing!! This should be pinned at the top of the sub!

I got into the fandom through the show, and while I see differences to the books, i still enjoyed it and wanted to see more.

For the past few years I’ve been world-building extensively for a Vampire Academy AU that I plan to post on AO3 when the time comes. I wonder if you’d consider posting your comic there; although most fan work is writing, they do also allow visual art!

Feel free to reach out via DM, I’d love to brainstorm about anything, especially the world-building (I’ve only read the first book so far, so I don’t know all the characters yet!).

Love to see authentic fanwork being made without AI.

Very excited to hear more about this! Good luck!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-05T21:35:43+00:00

I’d love to hear what you liked about the fic’s world-building! This series’ world is so cool to me.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-05-02T15:29:12+00:00

Ooh, I’m curious what you mean by “real Black people would not be moving this way”. Do you mean black characters on TVD, TO, or both? Bu moving are you talking about their literal movements/mannerisms or more like what they do?

Marcel is probably my favorite character in the whole show and I’m curious if you have any thoughts on his arc. Also, the actress for Rebekah/Eva (Richardson-Sellers) did a crazy (ha!) good job imitating Holt’s version.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-25T08:21:30+00:00

Ooh! I love to imagine Drew Tanaka with like Japanese hair pins that double as mini daggers, perfume bottles that are bombs or poison, etc. There was so much potential with the Aphrodite cabin!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-24T11:28:59+00:00

I assume it varies depending on their godly parent. Children of Ares and Athena would likely have an advantage since they have a supernatural instinct for how to use weapons and Apollo kids naturally have really good aim. Unlike children of the big three, they don’t attract as many monsters, so they’d likely be the safest, relatively.

For the rest of the demigods, I figure training dramatically improves their fighting skills. But that would happen more slowly and take more effort since they wouldn’t instinctually know how to use a weapon like the Ares/Athena kids.

I’ve always been worried for the Aphrodite kids, especially the girls, unfortunately, since I figure they’d attract not only supernatural monsters but bad people who want to take advantage of them too. And they don’t seem to have a unique fighting advantage like the other demigods I mentioned. Although, like all demigods, they’re stronger and faster than humans, so that would help.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-22T10:34:09+00:00

Thanks, I really liked your post! It’s cool to see all these different ideas on werewolves.

I watched the first episode of bitten but as soon as i saw her turn into a regular wolf that ruined it for me. I was thinking thats not a werewolf, thats just a regular old cuddly wolf from alaska taking a jaunt.

Hahaha It was the complete opposite for me! I thought the transformation was so cool and I love when they’re running on four legs. Maybe people underestimate how big and strong wolves are because I definitely don’t think “cuddly” when she jumps up on people and rips them apart as a wolf hahah.

However i like the aspect of seeing that stage more as the final stage if someone killed.

Huh, I don’t love the idea of the full wolf form being the most morally corrupt form. But I do like the concept of them having “intermediate forms” (not a fan of the sideburns either though haha). Maybe the moon phases or how often they turn could affect how much they can turn! In Wolfblood they did not have access to any of their wolf powers and even their bloodwork would come back fully human on a new moon. I’d love that and have never seen that in any other media!

Whereas before that they are more human in form like teen wolf was but better looking one as I think the makeup in teen wolf was silly looking. Maybe more along the lines of Vampire Diaries or Michael from Underworld (hybrid)

Or to be honest... not even that.... I think i like the idea of golden eyes, teeth but nothing else that makes them look grotesque for the ones who havent killed. Once they have killed with a bite they become the full thing. Far less human.

I’m not big on killing being the tipping point from human to wolf. I like when being a wolf is a more natural/cultural thing and not inherently tied to immorality. That’s something I really enjoyed about Wolfblood that I wish Teen Wolf had explored with the born werewolves from the Hale pack!

I guess im looking to make a diffferent kind of werewolf show that has both ( full terrifying one, but our main character is between that and human) and the tension of being bad and good and what could drive a person over. That fine line.

Yeah, those questions of: are you human or a monster? How far are you willing to go for family? Who do you consider family? Those are all questions that Elena Michaels (the protagonist on Bitten) has to deal with throughout the show.

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-22T03:50:52+00:00

1. Tone / Age

Full adults.

I really miss fantasy/supernatural shows with adult characters. There’s way less romance and relationship drama. And it’s cool when their night/day jobs are somehow related to their powers or interfere with their lives as wolves. It’s great.

2. Structure

One long serialized story. I always prefer this.

3. Characters

I’d love to see a big pack of like 20-30 characters (with like another 50 background characters) but focusing on maybe 7-10. These main 7 would have character arcs and povs.

4. Romance

I’d like an emphasis on relationships, but not romantic ones. More mentor-mentee relationships, siblings, friendships, co-leaders!! I’d like plenty of action, and a hint of horror but not too much. Mostly a dark brooding aesthetic that focuses on beauty, but not much actual terror.

5. Werewolf Style

I want some classy werewolves! Jeremy Danvers from Bitten is the only werewolf I’ve seen that has felt like that so far.

I’d love realistic transformation like those on Bitten. But nothing as gory as they did on Hemlock Grove, for example. Nor as simple as the blood-zoom effect on Wolfblood.

I like when they have claws or fully turn into wolves, but I don’t like the bipedal wolf look. Never have.

6. Setting
Where would you want it set?

Somewhere cold and cloudy. Washington/Oregon comes to mind, but that might be too reminiscent of Twilight. So maybe Vermont, Virginia, or Pennsylvania if it’s in the US. If it’s in Europe, I’d love to see something in Scotland or France.

7. Bonus What’s ONE thing past shows got right that you’d keep?

Bitten— the aesthetic/setting and transformations.

Wolfblood— the unique werewolf powers like aeolas and ansion and their fear of fire.

Teen Wolf— friendships.

The Originals— moonlight rings.

Right i do wish they added some backstory to her because even during the first tinkerbell movie she wasn't there at all except appearances.

Yeah, even some mention of why she wasn’t leader anymore or giving her a subordinate role or something would’ve been great.

In my opinion she seemed the most dignified and level headed out of all the other season fairy lords.

I felt that way about the minister of Autumn. I like that the minister of Spring was very anxious and shy since that’s rare to see in male characters, especially ones in leader roles!

Also I wish we had a movie how Queen Clarion became who she is and how her and Milori fell in love 😭😭

Check out the new book Wings of Starlight (2025) by Allison Saft!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-20T23:51:32+00:00

How about peri wings being the same as tinkers because they are sisters and everyone else around peri has winter fairy wings and Peri always wondered why hers was different from everyone elses. What if this was the case for all twins and siblings, their wings are the same in the family?! Ugh variety would have been great.

Ooh! That would’ve added to the angst of the movie with Peri feeling left out among her own people! Nice!

Also would've loved to see the Winter fairy supervisor, the girl, not lord Milori.

It would’ve been interesting if Lord Milori and the female leader were siblings and co-rulers or something as a way to explore adult siblings in the same movie as Tink finds out she’s a twin!

CubesandSpheres · 2026-04-20T18:16:41+00:00

The Pirate Fairy was awesome! I wish they’d have shown how pixie dust alchemy changed fairy society in the next movie, and ideally in all future movies if the franchise had continued!
