A silly guy.. a gift from you know who you are

[alan-in-the-outernet]

On the topic of beings using Alan as a battery, which creatures did it and what happened to them (and Alan) afterwards? How powerful did they become?

Since parasite probably can’t handle Alan (since it needs to possess him, and a Gods power is far too much to handle) it would probably see him as its ambrosia, a thing it will always desire but never touch, since it values its own life over the possibility of gaining all that magic.

Also, speaking of parasite, how long could they keep doing their thing before eventually fading? I mean, the only reason they came to this planet was because it had the most magic it needed to recover from whatever happened to it (since it was flying towards the planet so fast it started to shrink, so I like to think it was fighting something, or a certain someone in space) so currently this is the best it can do, and it’d take a lot for it to fully replenish itself back to what it was before.

Basically, this guy was hunting a group of Astrals, and had a full blown battle with the whole pod, trying to kill and absorb all the magic they have. Essentially, I don’t think the only reason there are so little Astrals are due to the sealing (I mean that’s the main reason, but I like tagging on more ideas) I like to think this guy basically hunted Astrals, and basically caused a ‘war’ (more like violence against each other) between the two species.

That’s one of the reasons it survived so long, since I don’t think most of its species was that strong? Idk.

Idk if this could feasibly happen, but hey it’s a cool story.

Honestly? I imagine no creature who fed on Alan directly would actually really become that powerful. If anything it'd ether be transferred into food (leechsticks since they can monitor how much they consume), or transferred a little into an item or items, and then replenish it at him... allowing them to Create. Like a staff that needs to go back to him as a battery, so it can only do so much, but it can still create entire fields and stuff!

As for the parasite... it depends heavily on where it goes. It could go for a few years, hundred years, thousand years just based on what it eats... but probably not a thousand years since it's already existed for a bit.

As for fighting astrals... as silly as an idea as that is, it's very unlikely. Mostly because both species were 'programmed' to more work... side by side. Symbiotic relationship. The Parasites would go after those who had too much magic... feed on it... which would in some situations help the individual- and then any extra that came off could be spread around by the astrals... or astrals could guide parasites too Magic Heavy individuals...

So while there's less magic now.. I doubt they'd fight

for those who is close to William, there was a thing with her, her famous home cookie, particularly, Cursor Cookies🍪

is her mom the one who teach her how to make cookie, at first he wasn’t good at it, but as times go on, he become pretty unexpectedly good at it, after left home and live with his pet in her own home, he did not make cookies for pretty long time, until one day he found a cursor shape cookie cutter.

now an day, when he was not busy, he will make those delicious cute sweet sweet cursor cookie as a hobby. her pet cursor will definitely steal at least one even if it’s not cold down yet, he just loves the cookie, William joke about it saying it’s probably is because he name her cookie😆

Precise eat it or store it, he will also sometime Sarah or gift it to someone that is close to her or know, one of them is the king family, sometime he will come by will rather just gift them the cookie, or come in and have some tea time come king and eat together cookie, the kid loves the cookie that he has made, enjoy it and have a small conversation with her, her pet cursor will usually trying to play with the family pet (even though it seems it doesn’t have interest in it, what a kind of weird cursor).

he and King will often have a conversation with their life, William sometime might ask

William: can you… like mention again about the whole situation? (Take a bite out of a cookie)you know… the whole thing how those kid are dropping at your doorstep, and that cursor what’s just So happen to be there.

King: yeah… that… is a weirdest thing happened in my life…

William: Hey, who knows, maybe your cursor is the one who are dropping the kid and it was just her part of a mysterious bigger plan? (Willy say jokingly)

King: ha ha, you’re funny

William: well, at least that would explain some of it unusual behavior ;)

Alan: …….

Pft! Yeah, that cursor sure do act weird :3 surely there's nothing going on there though :3 he doesn't know what you're talking about William. It's surely not that..

Right? x3

[alan-in-the-outernet]

I wonder, what would happen if The Sealers assumption was true?

The idea that The God of Creation and Destruction WERE two Gods in one body?

What if it was truly We instead of I?

Like, how would that work? How would Creation and Destruction be, as ‘separate’ yet the same?

Idk, I just think it’s interesting as to what would happen.. if they were RIGHT.

Since that kinda takes a couple things into a different context.

When C&D says they are never alone, since they never feel alone, it’s now literal.

But yeah, what would happen? Or what would it look like?

Hm! I imagine it'd sorta be like... they still call themselves I. Not because they are one, but because they feel like one. They are siblings, they are lovers, they are together until the end of time, entwined, entwined, entwined... forever in each others embrace. One brings about the destruction of things, so that new growth can be made. One creates new life, and the other destroys that which decays so that there is space.

Forever together... and that is how they like it. They are two, and yet they are one...

...Until they are ripped apart.

And Creation would be enraged... but wouldn't need a mortal body... They are Their Own being... and These Mortals Have Taken Their Most Important From Them... They Can Not Destroy, Yes...

But They can make things to Destroy these MORTALS...

[alan-in-the-outernet]

In adopted AU, How will Alan interact with other normal domestic outernet cursor❓

sense Alan was different from those cursor, so it was like a dog that it looks like a dog but it's not a dog interact with normal dog.

I think when Alan first meet outernet cursor and also found out that they are animal in this place and also a pet, he is pretty confuse and weird it out," this is a thing in outernet!?"(well at least that explain why mango just take her cursor in and then keep it as a pet like is just a dog)

He don't interact with outermet cursor too much, because Alan doesn't know how to interact with them, because he is different, so it's often seen in cursor park while others cursor flying around, hanging out with other cursor, make clicking noise to each other, playing around, chase each other, pick up something, cuddling side-by-side, take a nap in the air, trying to get the red ball first, eating, steal other cursor food, teasing, or having a fight by having a crazy chase and keep biting each other, a other was shakes and shudders about to vomit. but he… was just over there, moving around or just not moving, not interact with other, when other cursor interact with him, like one cursor go to him to take a look of her and try to know her, he will just not moving and then back down a bit, when that cursor make couple of clicksing sound, after a couple minutes then he slowly makes a click sound back when he realises it trying to interact one with her by sound, when ever he interact with other cursor, it always seems A bit clumsy, awkward and unsure with interact them, also kind of bit acting weird, kind of not lively in her movement, kind of a bot…. so in stick Figure eye, he was a kind of shy with other cursor but yet kind of strange cursor.

(but what do you think? Tell me I was very curious to know❗️❗️❗️)

When it comes to other cursors, it's pretty similar! I imagine he just doesn't really interact with them. He can hear things through the screen, sure, but like... there's 1. A nervousness that if he tries there he'll get found out that his cursor isn't quite right, 2. Just doesn't know how, 3. A partial disinterest because he's mostly leaving his cursor here to focus on the hollowheads... it's not a mean disinterest! Just these things aren't his priority here.

So he might like... click the mouse button curiously to see if it works but then just... tries to move his cursor back to the family because nope... doesn't know how to deal with this. So definitely perceived as a strange, shy cursor that seems to ONLY like this family in particular

[alan-in-the-outernet]

I got an idea. It’s been worming its way in my head for a while.

Essentially, Fantasy Figment (or Noogai) and Vic.

But it’s very toxic on both ends and both are mutually afraid of the other.

So, Figment might a very small piece of C&D that some day ended up within Vic, it’d look kinda like a Cursor. It knows some things, but not much. Just the basics, I guess?

But it’s kind of a possession type deal, where Noogai can control Vic, but Vic can choose how they do the things Figment chooses to do.

But Vic can also take back control, usually by ripping out Noogai, and when outside, Figment doesn’t have much power (or doesn’t realize they have it).

They don’t have a very fun dynamic, whenever ripping out Noogai, they usually throw Figment in a cage before going to bed, or when they want to have their own moments, lock it in something.

It’s usually a struggle where Noogai tries to float away, weaving around and dodging, but then Vic does always eventually get their hands on it. Sometimes they do attack it, since they see it as a parasitic entity, why wouldn’t you attack such a thing?

Noogai eventually grew to sort of fear Vic, usually backing away and cowering when they walk towards it, trembling and shaking.

For Vic’s POV, they are afraid of this thing in their body. They can’t kill it, and maybe need it for some reason, maybe since it’s a part of C&D, it generates magic, a small amount, but some that they need? Idk.

They hate the fact that it can control them, and how it’s essentially puppeteering their body around.

I like to think this could arise because maybe they can’t actually communicate at first, just feelings.

Figment does sometimes escape and float throughout the castle, hiding from everyone, and watching.

Idk, I just like the concept. How would this work, if this did happen?

Huh! That would be intriguing... but as for how it could even happen is... hm. Because Victim is a lot further down the line, so for any piece to go him is... virtually impossible. No one can get a piece of Destruction... so it would have to specifically be a piece of Creation taken off... hmmmm

Could maybe be in some past life someone tried to take a piece off Alan and... welll... now it's This but it doesn't remember being Alan, similar to how Alan didn't remember being C&D. Probably less like a cursor and more just... white-black ooze that can float. Wobbly thing.

As for Vic needing it... it's an interesting Idea, but I can't see them needing it... but maybe realizing that trying to hurt it seems to hurt their dad for some reason... well, now they don't want to hurt it, but assume that it's... doing that to try and get back at them (It isn't).

It probably also likes to watch Alan. It doesn't know why! It just does... and ends up copying some of his mannerisms later down the line which I could see Vic Not Liking...

But again, silly idea!

Flightless Birds

Who wrote the rule that said a thing with feathers absolutely has to fly?

Fly? Why must they fly?

Some creatures have two wings that flap

But you won't find them up there in the sky

Try, try, try

They're not up there in the sky

Gravity, they don't defy

They'll never soar, won't even try

Well…

Have you heard?

(Have you heard?)

About the flightless bird?

(About the flightless bird?)

With wings that flap they've been supplied

But after that, things went awry

Well, have you heard?

(Have you heard?)

About the flightless bird?

(About the flightless bird?)

They're quite content there on the ground

To see them don't look up, look down

Awwwww! This is a really cute little story.. poor lil cursor... but at least was found and given a happy life!!!

[alan-in-the-outernet]

So with Noogai, (and also Cannenta) with how belief works, he’s essentially made up of thousands to hundreds of thousands of different versions of himself, right? I mean, every person has a different individual conception of who god is, and all of those individuals ideas of who he’d be like and how he’d act all come together to make the individual who is Noogai, right? So Noogai in total would have to be pretty simple and watered down sorta, since his ‘goals’ and personality would be brought down to their base components and the more complex stuff would clash due to differences in idea. Like the base idea of who he is would be how he’d act in totality, I think.

Then there’s how he acts slightly differently around different sects, due to their specific version of him become ‘dominant’ so to speak? So he changes based on the specific group or individual ideas of himself, since he’s a thought form.

Then how his form is slightly different across variations, how his memory might be altered due to differences in how the stories of things he did was told and such.

Oh, also, would he have a backstory? Ya did say once that they’d assume he’s a god among many that decided to interact with sticks, but with religion, I think they’d kick it up a notch and make it a whole intricate story, since every theology is pretty complex and has a whole narrative kicker, so he’d get one too. They probably might make him ‘special’ or something, since people love being special, and he can’t just be some ‘common’ god, something’s gotta set him apart.

Even if they can directly commune with their god, they are definitely gonna make some shit up along the way and it’s gonna stick (hahathawasunintentional).

Maybe he’d have ‘angels’ of sorts? Since they might see him as a king. That’s a common motif in many religions, so yeah. It’d be weird, since he would know he actually came from belief, and now he has a fully fledged backstory with motives and plots and all that. They might even make him involved in the creation of sticks somehow as a way to rack in more special points.

Then they might give him an enemy down the line, since people love dichotomy and dualism and all that. Plus every group has a ‘them vs us’ mentality and religions are no different, so they might make a spiritual ‘them’ who are out to get stick kind, which they might base off of computer viruses. Wait. Wait a damn second. ALAN WAS FIGHTING THE VIRA BOTS WHEN THEY SAW HIM IN THE OUTERNET. So I think I know where they’d go with that. They also might make The Chosen One a ‘divine warrior’ or some crap like that, since they were fighting together against a common enemy. Or something else, since they already had a reputation among the Outernet alongside Dark, sooo.. yea.

Also, I figured out a way to make his war aspect work without making him a violent brute or whatever. So y’know Athena right? She’s a war goddess along with Ares who is a war god, but she is a lot less brutal than him. That’s because they represent different parts of war, like Athena is the generals war, strategy and plans and such. Ares is the soldiers war, physical prowess and brute force and all.

Now I can’t help but imagine Noogai training some stick like how Athena did to Odysseus.

Why is Epic still stuck in my head it’s like a brain tumor.

Honestly, when it comes to Noogai's personality, it might different a bit based on groups, but at the end of the day it won't differ as much as you might think. For at the end of the day, his 'base' with ALWAYS be Alan, so if there's too much difference, he'll still default to similar but different from Alan. Even Evil Noogai was like... just a very twisted Different Alan. Godly and Higher but still similar to Alan. Because as much as the Belief will change the God, at least at First, the God will never truly be able to be fully different from their Mortal Self

And Memory could be altered at first, yes, but as he becomes more Stable with more belief, soon not even that can really be altered... and something that can never change is he will always remember Alan. His appearance though? Definitely can change a bit

As for making a story for him? Some probably will! It's a world full of sticks, some are gonna make stories, and yeah, some are gonna.. stick x3

But yeah, I imagine... few to none really saw what the God was fighting, exactly. Just flickers of Red. So whatever enemy they might assume him to have might be given a theme of Red.

As for War... yeah, that could be it! However with him being War and Light, I always imagined his War aspect being seen as less the plans, and more the Common Soldier. They are not what starts the War, but they are apart of it. They are the ones who are Fighting. They are the ones who need Aid. He is the Common Soldier, the Commander- he is the guiding thought through it all... so kinda strategy, but also just the thought of the people who are actually fighting.

[alan-in-the-outernet]

Fantasy Au Random Stuff!

This will be a longer post so... under the cut x3

Mers

There are lots of Mersticks in this au, which go into four categories

Seawater - Deep Sea and Upper Sea mers, which mostly have the lower half of. Well. Sea creatures.

Freshwater - Same with Sea Mers, but Freshwater creatures

Cave - Less specific creatures but can be, often bioluminescent to communicate with each other due to low to no light

Nether - Lava creatures! Could be lower half like striders, but other had little tendrils that act as biological snorkels and long flippers, with eye membranes to protect from lava. Very Heat Resistant but can barely leave the lava because even the Nether Air can be a bit too cold for their standards

Beyond Nether and Cave Mer, Freshwater and Seawater mer use sign language and have their own versions of it. Cave Mer as explained use bioluminescence, and Lava Mers use vibrations and underlava calls.

When magic began to die out, all Mers were hit hard, but cave mers and especially lava mers were hit harder.

Fun fact! Emma in this Au is half Mer.

The Nether

As mentioned a few times, the Nether Exists! It is basically an underground area that used to span a long, long way... but when magic began to die out, it shrunk to mostly be under the area where Destruction was sealed. And by big, I mean like... miles and miles. It was like a whole continent underground that was the Nether.

Herobrine is sort of... the 'Ruler' so to speak there. No one quite knows what he is. Fey? Eldritch? Some other kind of creature? Let alone now, where their name is only really legend...

The End

Similar to the Nether, The End also exists! Before the Sealing, it was more like the Aether. A land of sky islands that floated as high as mountains, lush and full of life. Sticks existed there, and many had different sorts of wings... along with other flying creatures that were all magical and in some cases viewed as Odd...

After the Sealing... the Magic holding up the islands began to fail and make mistakes... but instead of going down... they went Up. So high that there was little to no Oxygen, and few creatures can exist there in the Twilight...

Except for the rumored Dragon that prowls it's homes... creatures that some thing might have been sticks twisted when magic failed... and the old forgotten cities left to crumble...

Sticks

I've mentioned before the different categories that one must fall into to be considered a stick...

They reproduce by color, and thus... you know. No bits and bobs

2. They are almost always sapient or at least smarter

3. They almost always have 1 to 2 main colors and those are their 'flat' colors (not including their eyes. And being living there's always Lil details in it)

However, I've never really rambled about the different kinds of sticks! I mentioned Mers above, which are sticks that are kinda 'merged' with some underwater Creature... but there's also

Giants - Sticks that tended to mostly roam the mountains, going from 20 ft to 50 ft tall, they were huge. It was said they used to carve mountains into homes, and use giant redwood trees to carve into weapons, hunting dragons for meals... or perhaps other large creatures. They were sapient, and could often be traded with for different metals, and other things... however when magic began to die out they became very reclusive... there was already not many, but now there's even fewer

Celestials - The Sticks of the Sky! Often coming from the End Islands, they had beautiful wings of many colors... sometimes feathers, sometimes silken, sometimes almost like energy flows, they were rare to see outside of their home, or outside of the skies. They were often known for being rather friendly though... but now... none have been seen in a very, very long time.

FullHeads - Sticks with a 'hollowhead' that has color inside. The most common besides the more average sticks like Red or Green

Nether - Sticks practically made of Magma, they were hot to the touch, and could burn others that weren't magma sticks on contact. Not often seen outside of the Nether or Deserts, as while they can exist in temperate climates, there was risk of burning things, and also risk of if they did freeze they would turn to stone... died out quickly when magic began to die out, many in fact turning to stone

Stickbugs - What is says on the tin. Sticks! With bug features! Often found more in deserts or tropical climates, these were sticks with more chitinous skin and sometimes more then the average set of eyes

Arctic - Sticks that are... much fluffier then the average. Known for having coats of colored fur and tails, they are more found in mountainous or colder regions of the world

Constructs - Not fully sticks, but sticklike. Made of metal and stone bones with artificial flesh, they look exactly like sticks, but often don't fully have thoughts and emotions... and how to tell a stick from a construct is joints where the bones meet, and a gem somewhere in their skin

Leech Sticks - Magic eaters, they are kind of like Vampires... except instead of teeth, they have a 'tongue'... that's really a proboscis that they stick into that which they want to feast from... and drink on the magic within- while not really able to consume much other food with out throwing up. Were already rather rare... but when magic began dying out, they became practically unheard of...

HollowHeads - There's only a 5 really known to exist... being Alan's family... however like that effect where people think something has always been one way but it hasn't, people just think hollowheads have always existed. Or perhaps they have... just none have lived long enough to tell the tale, or were lost to time like many of the others

Dragons

Just as sapient as sticks, these are creatures of Magic. In the days before the Sealing, they could cast spells and other magics... however, as magic began to die out, their species adapted to survive to the point that all their magic went into their breath, whether it was healing, fire, etc. They also come in many forms, for example:

Nether Dragons - Dragons that were practically made of magma... although not fully. But they were very warm and very destructive if they wished to be. Normally stayed to the Nether and their lava lakes that they had deemed home

End Dragons - Also known as dragons of the stars, or dragons of the air, these dragons breathed out light that some would claim was as bright as the sun... although now there's only one, and their breath isn't quite so bright

Nowadays in canon they tend to just be referred to as dragons, whether they're feathery, scaly, or even have fur... but they are still very sapient

Kingdom of Drakarn (Mango's Kingdom)

Random Fun Fact - Mango's family line are all distantly related to a Nether Dragon! It's not really evident in Mango and Gold, but they run warmer then most sticks... in Tangerine however, he had horns and had a few tiny scales here and there

It's also saddly often looked down upon even in current times, simply for their past. Some kingdoms have forgotten... others are still angry at losing magic... and some just don't like them for harboring dragons.

Their mascot used to be the Phoenix, seen upon the Crest, but overtime it has changed to be a dragon

Would y'all be interested in a fantasy au world building rant? I've been deliberating like... just rambling about it since it's more like. What places exist and stuff, random fun facts, etc?

[alan-in-the-outernet]

Myths are not stories that are untrue… (sometimes it did happen)

Rather they are tales that don't fit neatly into the historical record…

Which serve as a foundation to a culture.

Silly...

Whoops! Sometimes the cursors GET YOU... like when a cat gets you, but instead of a boop you get carried. Raining cat's and dogs? No. It's raining sticks but it's just one stick and the cursors accidentally dropped them... but don't worry they caught the stick again

[alan-in-the-outernet]

(fantasy au) so alan's creation magic like, super kills him, but how would destruction feel if alan did manage to use that magic to create something new in the world? without des's presence or memories or input

dark: what about a GIANT CENTIPEDE!!! like a REALLY big one!! alan: dark i'm not using creation magic on that, this is serious, it could unbalance things or- dark: ok, for my birthday? :) alan: ....................maybe

PFT... I mean.. honestly? Des is like... a mix of disappointed and glad? It's like... it's a sign that Creation is still there! Still Creation.. but oh other half... why have you not waited for me? Or did you do it because you missed me? I have missed you as well...

and PFT...

How would C&D react to The Visitor from Look Outside? (This things body extends all the way to the Oort Cloud at the least apparently. Also, this entire thing is actually just an antennae extending from a node) (also, there’s like 4 more images and I can’t be bothered to find the rest)

Essentially, it’s an Eldritch thing saw Earth and wanted to take a closer look, accidentally transforming all of humanity that looked at it into horrific abominations, and then when it meets the main character, it gains sapience due to their interaction, and asks if MC wants to see it.

If you say yes, your brain gets fried and repurposed to try to fully visualize this thing, but even that fails. Since what it did is it gave the MC its own awareness of its body, like how we are aware of our arms and legs and stuff. Then we turn to a monster and kill everything on Earth.

Anywho, if ya say no, it asks why, and the MC gets it to realize that there are beings down there that are suffering due to it merely looking at them, and it promises to leave, and that it will think about this for a long time. Then we turn into a monster and help everyone on earth. (We get to go to kids choice awards as planet spaghetti)

(Sorry for the long lore drop, lol. How would C&D feel about a little guy such as this?)

Hm! I imagine C&D would be very cautious, because like... they didn't create this. Anything that they didn't create brings both caution and curiosity. Something Different! Something New! But not... from it.

Then just. Okay. Don't get near their planets!!! Cause it's creations to suffer! It would love to speak with you otherwise BUT YOU ARE HURTING IT'S CREATIONS-

[alan-in-the-outernet]

I think Get In The Water is perfect for when Destruction finally finds Nala. Since they’ve been waiting for that moment for a long time.

Plus, in Destructions view, Nala has lived FAR more than enough. On Creations own power, no less.

It is far too enraged right now to even think on the option of forgiveness. It might even see the asking for forgiveness as a slight against it, since they are pretty sure it’s long past that point.

Ough... you are so right, it WOULD perfectly fit when Destruction finds Nala. Of course, there's no water to get in and Destruction wouldn't drown Nala, but I suppose you could count drowning in energy or having it ripped from you as horrible ways to go... but either way, it's an amazing song, and a very fitting one

[alan-in-the-outernet]

Did C&D have any mortal friends before the sealing? Since in mythology, a lot of gods either train, befriend, and interact with mortals, so are there any that it got particularly attached to, at least to the extent that it would back then?

Hmmm... when it comes to mortal friends, I imagine the closest C&D had would have been Astrals really, along with some dragons. But they didn't really do friends as much. It's not that they were incapable, but they were more attached to them as Creations, rather then as Friends.
