Wolfwalker Martin about Chris: I've known Chris for less than a day. He's bitten me, cussed me out, and in general been a very disruptive child who acts like he does not like me.
Also Martin: New little brother :D
EXACTLY. See this person gets it! 😂
Little Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki following big bird fae Jimmy around like little chicks. (Chris is just there because Martin is there. He refuses to participate otherwise.)
Like he's chill and disguises as a kid but I love imagining him getting pissed after they get hurt and he's like "How DARE you hurt MY humans!" and gets all big and monsterous.
and then the culprit mysteriously disappears while the kids get treats.
They get lost in the woods and he's just like "alright little chickadees this way!" And just hops along the path as birds do and they happily follow they get close to a village and someone shoots at him and suddenly a tree falls on them! How mysterious. He buys them cake afterwards.
bird man jimmy slowly becoming my new very specific hyperfixation
also all i can imagine is him in his full fae form as that meme of that mom with her kids on leashes but it's him and the kids are Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki
YEP. Trust and believe he's grounded them all to the nest at least once.
Fae Jimmy just collecting children. And when they're adults you know he's crying because "why not small anymore? why not stay tiny? where chickadees go?" sad squawking while the now grown up crew is just watching him in confusion.
Wouldn't it be so funny if he brought them with him to a fae event and when they came out it was the modern day? Wouldn't it be so funny if they suddenly woke up with more claws and feathers than they remembered having? Wouldn't it be so funny if because he was in charge of changlings he knows how to make them? Wouldn't it be funny if these now immortals built a giant turtle and just flew around saving the enviornment and animals knowing they'll never actually get hurt since, y'know, fae. Wouldn't it be?
Avatar x Wild kratts story anyone? Will post if anyone wants to see it's 14 pages long so far in google docs (I'm new to tumblr idrk if people wanna see stories here)
Chris's mom and Jimmy having split custody of Martin
Chris's mom definitely leaves the parenting to Jimmy for the most part. Like she still steps in, but she doesn't trample either, which Jimmy highly appreciates.
What are all the ages for your wolfwalkers au? (for Jimmy ig it would be both the age he pretends to be and his real age?)
Jimmy pretends to be 18 but is really around 4,450 years old so pretty young by fae terms.
Martin is 16
Chris is 13
Koki is 17
Aviva is 16
And Zack is 15!
Bonus Chris's mom is like 90 but wolf walkers being similar to fae she looks early 40s at most.
Also also wolf walkers are not immortal like fae are but can get to around 500 years old give or take (this is not cannon to the real Wolf walkers lore or movie this is just for my au lol)
Just imagining fae Jimmy in a little nest with the whole crew when they were little toddlers and he's just looking at them all with such adoration. He's just cooing and preening them. And if anyone asks them who their parents were they're just like "birb :D"
When he was "younger" (by the villages terms) he was more free with his bird form. Koki was adorable she'd accidentally pull a feather sometimes look at it in horror and then go "sorry sorry I'm so sorry!!" While trying to put it back. Jimmy would just laugh and hug his precious chickadee. They're all his chickadees.
He did stop using his true form after about a year, hence Aviva and Martin not knowing, since he didn't wanna risk himself getting in trouble and/or the orphans getting in trouble and being accused of being witches or something. Which if that happened he would in less than a heartbeat take them home with him but he'd prefer not to since he knows some of them wouldn't want to be there and doing that could be VERY dangerous to them and himself especially since he wouldn't have taken the time to ask each of them if they wanted to come.
Bonus: Occasionally he'd play with baby Chris when they crossed paths in the woods and Chris made it his goal to scare him whenever he saw him (lovingly)
Sorry next chapters taking a bit I've had a bunch of school stuff and testing going on and the decided to rewrite a lot of what I'd already written cause the tone just was not matching. But it's looking good so far!
love imagining Jimmy being able to make his fae form absolutely giant and monsterous, and you'd think it's to fight monsters, right?
nah it's because he needs there to be enough of him for all the kids to cuddle with
I imagine it kinda looks like Eda from the owl house's monster form. It absolutely is only for cuddles. He's so soft.
