#ALSO! MY AVENTURINE STELLE FRIENDSHIPISMS

[mymarifae]

completing the 2.2 trailblaze mission gives you new daily text messages from aventurine if you have him.. 🥹 so you're Not just left with his scheduled post-suicide-attempt farewells. and it's a really nice conversation too. he plays it off like a game buuuut he loses on purpose every time so really he's just opening up of his own volition

(i'm still alive, and i'm happy about that 🥹 his conversation with acheron really left a profound impact on him oh my godddd)

aventurine... of all people... reaching out and talking so honestly about what happened and how it affected him... and seeing a therapist of sorts (bit of an oversimplification but that's basically what the doctors of chaos do so like). sometimes all you need to start learning how to value your life again is to uhh ..literally get cut in half

Hey, I want request Aventurine with Noelle reader.

Imagine the trailblazer use Noelle reader to get Aventurine home.

Stelle/ Caelus: “Aventurine, I have your little sister.. please come home”

Noelle reader being held by Stelle/ Caelus: “I think it won’t work—“

*Insert Astral train door open with yellow glow..*

Aventurine pop out from train: “My little sister? Where is she?”

I think some achievements for them

Aventurine/ Noelle reader in battle will achieve “The gambler and his little maid”

Or Aventurine/ Topaz/ Ratio/ Noelle reader will achieve “Here come the IPC”

a jewel and a maid

synopsis - when he meets someone who reminds him all too much of a familiar familial feeling

includes - aventurine

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, slight crack, maybe ooc, found family kinda?, wc - 655

a/n: i love the achievements!!

the IPC wasn't exactly the best place to work but they were somewhat tolerable - more so for thise fortunate enough to be valued and given higher positions. you're position was so so to say the least, you had been assinged to work under someone of similar level to P47 which wasn't that bad compared to some others. you didn't exactly have high expectations but you'd still try and apply yourself to the best of your abilities, maybe then your job would be easier.

it was extremely fortunate for you to be placed under aventurine's sector within the stonehearts. it's not like he really needed many people working under him or that he wanted them to but he wouldn't really have room to argue when diamond himself arranged it. over a surprisingly short period of time, you had proven yourself to be quite the valuable member of the IPC - despite you not really vying for their attention, you just wanted to do your job and lay low.

aventurine recognised this and he didn't exactly blame you. normally your kind of skill would easily be swooped up by the IPC and used to their advantage, not yours. he too once had been snatched by the IPC, fortunately he managed to weasel something out of them in return. so you both were quite content to continue on as is, to which you were thankful.

during your time working with aventurine, you naturally had become much closer than simple colleagues. you two acted as if you'd known eachother for years. although you didn't exactly act much differently, still content to simply do your job, but aventurine became noticeably more friendlier. he acted much more cordial with you, more favourable and you did appreciate the familiarity.

when he caught himself actually acting so familiar with you, he stopped. he'd never really gotten so close and comfortable with someone before - well there were a few exceptions but with you, it felt more familial than a friendship of such. it had been an extremely long time since he had felt as such and it admittedly scared him a little.

however as even more time passed, it became much more natural for each of you to see the other in a much more familial way. again, it still felt odd to him but atleast he knew he could come sround to it eventually. for now, he could only look after you as if you were a sister to him.

---✩

'i don't think this will work-' you tried voicing your concerns but you were shushed by the trailblazer.

'you might want to listen to them' dan heng tried to interject but it seems that his words also fell upon the deaf ears of trailblazer - or they more likely just ignored him.

the only response either of you got was the trailblazer opting to pick you up and hold you toward the express doors with a declaration 'please! come home! look who's waiting with us!'

this time it was march to look rather concerned over at the trailblazer before adding 'i have to agree, i don't think this will work...' she looked at you with pity as the trailblazer practically triumphed you in the air.

right before you could get another word in and ask to be put down, everyone stopped and stared at the gilden light that emerged from the door. the trailblazer held you out even more in a desperate final plea as 'please' repeatedly fell from their lips.

not too long after, the express doors slammed open and a rather excited, maybe franctic, aventurine became present. despite the trailblazers excitement, aventurine ran straight to you to.

au wise whats up with either amphorous or lieat? :o I know nothing about lieat so I’m curious

Oh? Well, it comes into three parts for HSR (that being Stellaron Hunters, Penacony, and Amphoreus), so, we'll start with LiEat first. By the way, LiEat is a free game trilogy (that you can also buy on Steam for 2.99), so, if you'd like to, go check it out for yourself. There will be spoilers for both Amphoreus and LiEat Three, so, prepare for that.

LiEat

LiEat in the crossover AU... takes place after the events of LiEat Three, which is the final game in the trilogy.

**(LiEat is a game series that follows a conartist and a lie-eating dragon, the name being the words Lie and Eat mashed together. Therefore... LiEat.)

For the crossover cast, we ended up going with the main characters, Leo (the one who was GATEKEEPING MY POSTS yesterday 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️) and Efina, as well as two reoccurring side characters and two new characters introduced in LiEat Three, those characters being Neil and Brett (for reoccurring throughout the series) and Iris and Cyril.

Hunter side, it's just Leo, while survivor side, it was Efi, Neil, Brett, Iris and Cyril. I hate Cyril, all my homies hate Cyril. (/j but you'll see why if you play the game)

They're linked together with the Ib crew and the HSR: Amphoreus crew, specifically linked between the friendship of the younger characters of each (those being Ib, Mary, Efina, and Trianne).

Efina is pretty much the oldest sister figure in the group. Even if she's... technically the youngest. lmao.

Right now, the scope of solo LiEat is just Efina getting clowned on by Leo, and everyone calling Leo gay (and being wrong.) for some reason.

Hunter Leo comes in two forms, that being his normal form in LiEat Three (his name is Sid in that game, I'm still going to call him by his LiEat One alias, Leo, though.) and then his lie corrupted form (also known as. Great Big Liar I think??). He swaps between the two forms, depending on the mode. (however, Efi fucking hates GBL. she keeps calling him scary. couldn't tell you why! that's a lie, yes I could.)

We haven't found proper idv character counterparts for everyone, but the ideas we had was:

Archer as Efi, Professor as Neil, and Knight as Cyril. Leo, Brett and Iris are currently unmatched right now.

Me personally, I imagine everyone across the board are A-tier skins.

We also do have the hunter dynamics between the hunters for each crossover set (Leo, Garry, and Mydei), like a fucked up little tea party, but that’s not all that here or there.

The issue is as of right now? They're so new that there isn't anything much to their group lore besides a few things here and there concerning backstory stuff, mostly for how Leo ended up as a hunter. We did a similar thing with Garry, Mydei, and Phainon as well, if you guys are interested in what their deals are, because how does one end up as a crossover hunter?

But, yeah, they're so new that we haven't had the time to fully work out a storyline for them yet, so there isn't much for me to tell you about. Yet.

...

HSR: Project Amphoreus (+ Penacony/Stellaron mention)

As for the HSR: Project Amphoreus... hmm. Well, let me preface this with the existence of Project Penacony and Project Stellaron.

Project Penacony has Aventurine, Topaz (and Numby), Sparkle, and Dr. Ratio. Project Stellaron has Kafka, Firefly, Silverwolf, Blade, and Stelle.

These guys are the first and second installments of the total HSR crossover pool for the crossover AU, but they don't come into the conversation with Project Amphoreus beyond Aventurine and Mydei sharing the fact they're "dual faction" characters, meaning they come as both a hunter and a survivor.

I won't be getting into them in this ask, but if you're interested, well... you know where to find the inbox.

For Amphoreus, the idv character counterparts are:

Part One: Little Girl as Trianne and Hermit as Mydei. (as well as Archer as Survivor Mydei.) Part Two: Coordinator as Anaxa, Antiquarian as Castorice, Doctor as Hyacine, Mechanic as Agalea (the garmentmaker is her bot). Phainon is unmatched as of now, but he is a hunter.

The HSR Amphoreus crew is split up into two parts. Part One contains Trianne and Mydei (as well as Phainon), while Part Two contains Anaxa, Hyacine, Agalea, and Castorice. I'm imagining everyone here is A-tiers across the board as well.

As for HSR: Project Amphoreus, there's part one, and then there's part two. It basically serves to split the cast into two parties based on the original timeline of events.

Now, the following section is more a creative storytelling for the events of the group lore, more or less? Since, a lot of the AU talk is very scenario specific, it's my job in asks like this to bridge one scenario to another one in a way that would most likely make sense to a reader. So, my creative interpretation might be different to hers-

But it's okay because Tae is my wifesband and she loves me very much so I'm sure she doesn't mind if I accidentally fuck up my storytelling. (/j)

Part One follows the story of Trianne and Mydei following the events of the Somnia Devoravit Original Timeline. Basically, they wind up at the manor because of the Dragon Herald, Finality, and the missing Chyrso Heir, Phainon the Deliverer. When they arrive at the manor, Trianne and Mydei are both on the survivor side of the manor.

And, as they travel through the manor, progress through games, and gather information, they meet several other crossover characters. Eventually, they find Phainon... except they find him as a hunter. Erm...... awkward, amiright?

Yeah, things don't go well, and the match ends with Trianne as the solo survivor escaping through the dungeon. However, because Mydei is immortal and therefore incapable of dying by bleeding out and the dungeon only opens with one final survivor left alive, the only foreseeable outcome is that during this match, Mydei became the hunter, therefore counting as two hunters and one survivor, technically meeting the requirement for the dungeon.

So erm... say goodbye to your brother, Trianne!!

"What about Tribbie and Trinnon?" The manor arc takes place after Trianne is disconnected from her siblings, but before her in-game death. This means Tribbie and Trinnon are not in the manor, and they cannot contact Trianne and vice versa.

Between the end of part one and the start of part two, Trianne is on her own, bouncing between different groups of the different crossover skins (but not able to fully be accepted/integrated into them) as she tries to pick up the broken pieces of her manor life and figure out what happened to Mydei and Phainon.

However, this brings in the in-between "Mydei", a nightmare-ish hallucination of Mydei as a hunter, originating from Trianne due to the stress and strain that the match had inflicted on her. This hallucination-turned-physical-manifestation haunts Trianne wherever she goes during the in-between arc.

Shit's fucked for Trianne is what I'm saying!!! Someone get her OUT of there. "Mydei" gets really close to killing Trianne, however...

This is where part two officially starts.

Part two starts with Anaxa and Castorice intercepting (Fake) "Mydei" after getting a tip-off from "a ginger-haired man wearing a flat-top hat" about Trianne's current whereabouts, effectively saving her life. However, because (Fake) "Mydei" shares the same characteristics as the Real Mydei, he can't be killed through normal means. So, uhm. It's time to make a getaway!!! Anaxa would know all about that.

For a while, it's just Cas, Anaxa, and Trianne as they try to figure out what to do about (Fake) "Mydei" and learn what happened to the real Mydei and just overall having the two adults catch up on what Trianne's experienced. However, they eventually are able to regroup with Agalea and Hyacine, and they have to pool their thoughts all together into figuring out how to solve the presented problems.

And, someone (probably Anaxa) determines the best course of action is to find a way to get rid of this (Fake) "Mydei", and this course of action leads them to finding the real Mydei, who is now officially a hunter on the manor's roster. This results in Mydei and Trianne finally reuniting. Yippee!!!

Just ignore the blood on her clothes and what looks like yourself standing behind her with a bloodied blade and it'll. it'll be fine!!! Maybe. I don't know, actually.

Anyways, sibling reunion, let's gooo!!!!!!

And that's kind of where the creative interpretation ends for now. We still have to bridge Phainon's deal to the entire AU setting. We'll get there. Ooooone of these days.

Probably.

Maybe.

Everything beyond this is mostly group cross-posting between the Ib and LiEat groups, as well as the BSD group. Dynamics and ideas and shitposts, mostly.

Well, and the hunter backgrounds like I had mentioned with Leo earlier, but. separate post, this one is already really really long.

...

anyways, that was what's up with Amphoreus and LiEat in the crossover AU as of right now. I hope this was a good enough introduction to it for whoever is reading this.

The crossover AU is so interesting to me, it's so fascinating. I'd love to talk more about it, its so...

Testing the limits of the humane connection and humane consciousness. Ain't that what I do best?

[mymarifae]

speaking of aventurine. did you know that in jp he calls stelle "hoshi kaku-chan" . as far as i can tell that's the only honorific he's ever used for anyone. (well caelus gets -kun but like you know what i mean) i can and will die on this hill that aventurine was genuinely charmed by stelle's oddball personality, and if it hadn't been for the whole "i need to trick you into letting acheron kill me because if you figure out what i'm trying to do you'll stop me and/or her, because you're stupidly brave like that" ordeal he would have liked to be friends with her. like For Real

[mymarifae]

making me emo about aventurine again :(

my bad. hey do you want to think about his cat cakes and how they're all black kitties

luckiest man in the universe takes in 3 unlucky babies :') ...

or like, the way he sought out stelle's company once he got his phone working again, and opened up to her of his own volition

he insists on playing it off like he's losing a game but Aventurine does not lose a dice game unless he wants to

so... he just genuinely wanted to talk to stelle. despite everything he trusts her. you have to be quite the special person to get him to be vulnerable. this is a friendship he wants for himself - not to complete a job for the ipc. and he seems to be the type to pull away the second he starts to truly Want anything because the risk of losing something he WANTS is too much. even for him. his brush with true death has really changed him... if he's now allowing himself to pursue these sorts of things

or do you want to think about the text conversation after this (that i do not have screenshots of on hand 💔), where he's at a gift shop and offers to buy stelle something. i personally chose the pajamas while going through this, but you have the option to say "i want them all" and he'll immediately agree to buy them all for her. no strings attached or teasing or anything he's literally like "okay cool!"

he probably does view relationships through a distorted lens and thinks he has to always be providing and proving his worth or the other person will leave. but i also think he just genuinely enjoys spoiling people. he grew up beyond impoverished and the ipc provides him with like . exorbitant funds. wtf is he going to do with all these credits. why not give all that he can just because he can now? gift giving is probably one of his love languages - lack of confidence aside. the way people's eyes light up when he gives them a present they weren't expecting makes him happy

stelle is going to be spoiled ROTTEN lmfao

he's sweet, when he's allowed to let down his guard a little and be vulnerable. it's undoubtedly really scary for him, but he's ready to face those fears and stop hiding behind flashy accessories and empty smiles, carelessly gambling his own life and hoping that something will just fucking kill him already. he's ready to start valuing himself a bit more

[mymarifae]

just finished the trailblaze mission the other day and immediately went to your blog bc i knew you'd be sane about it 😭 absolutely baffling to me but somehow not surprising that no one seems to care about the mystery like???? there's so much weird shit going on and such interesting pieces of lore about memoria and different factions and how they interact in this absolutely huge universe??? i also loved firefly i'm so sad that people don't seem to care much abt her :( she was so sweet and the fact that they touched on chronic illness w her character and her using the dreamscape as a way to escape from that reality... this patch was so so good in so many ways and i'd love to hear your thoughts if u have any!! :) (also the MUSIC???? if i can stop one heart from breaking had me in actual tears)

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE FIREFLY i got another anon asking for my thoughts about what happened to her and i'm still kind of wrapping my head around. That. so i'll save all that for later! she's definitely a new favorite of mine, though. we didn't get to spend too much time with her but like yeah she won my heart pretty immediately. she was so... genuine? sure she hid a lot, but she didn't seem like she wanted to. it was more like she had to. not for her own sake, but for stelle's

that was the other thing that really got me! the bond she formed with stelle. like oh my god. they CONNECTED... stelle ADORES her. they felt so comfortable in each other's presence despite the wall firefly had to keep up... stelle picked up on the thing i just mentioned above: that firefly wasn't entirely honest not to give herself an advantage in the game of penacony (like aventurine and, to a degree, black swan) but to keep stelle safe in the midst of it. and it was for this reason that stelle chose to trust her. and to offer her genuine friendship in return

the entire sequence of exploring golden hour and then dream's edge with her was sooooo nice. it just made my heart feel at ease. and also yes if i could stop one heart from breaking is BEAUTIFUL and i want it on spotify rn. so i can loop it for 58347685673453485734 hours

my thoughts about the mystery on penacony as a whole are like. well:

the key to what caused firefly (... ?) and robin's deaths lies with misha and a child's dream

not saying that in the way some other hsr fans are and theorizing that misha's evil, btw. i really doubt that. this comes off more as a ... ralsei deltarune situation. two genuinely sweet kids who just want to go on adventures and live their lives but got mixed up in the fucked up inner workings of the worlds they live in

misha's grandpa is obviously a nameless and i'm 75% sure he's also the watchmaker (i say 75% because someone - a random npc, maybe firefly, or someone else, i really don't remember whose mouth it came out of - says that clockie was designed in the watchmaker's likeness and i don't think misha's grandpa is a talking clock . so. um. ...)

clockie is going to be a bigger part of the plot than he is now and there's totally going to be something fucked up underneath the cartoony exterior

aventurine stresses that we can't trust acheron because she's an emanator, but an emanator of who, i wonder...? her connection to the dream world, her memory problems, and the way some of her dialogue varies from player to player (INSANELY COOL TOUCH BTW) makes me want to say fuli. or possibly... IX. mythus? i guess lan and nanook are possibilities but i kind of really really really really doubt that

idk like i mentioned in the tags on a different ask i gotta properly explore penacony and read all the things i've picked up that i ignored in favor of finishing the trailblaze mission! and do the 53873453465786837 side quests i got from tinkering with people's emotions. Help. it'll probably help me theorize more! lots of little clues and foreshadowing strewn throughout the game's text, hehe...

i've REALLY enjoyed this update though. definitely sunk my brain even further into the hsr interest than it was before. penacony's cast is really dynamic and interesting (firefly, misha, and acheron are my faves here). also, the dreamscape pass is such a clever feature. really makes you feel like a tourist AND it's got lots of little morsels of lore inside. love it. uhg. i can't wait for the next big update i'm going to explode
