A very silly rival Idol x Bodyguard x Manager AU my fiance and I have running with our DND characters. 

[banannabethchase]

Youtube influencer AU. who's doing book reviews, who's shilling skincare and cosmetics, who does urban exploring vlogs and keeps getting caught breaking into abandoned buildings?

Oh I like this one! They're all like early 20s in this because I feel like that would lean into the most chaotic dynamics.

Matt is essentially still doing BTE, but from a fan perspective. He's got really absurd wigs and pretends to be certain wrestlers. He gets actual wrestlers as a guest sometimes, but people from his local indies mostly. He also has a slice of life vlog from time to time where he expresses his frustrations about his younger brother's antics, who is...

Nick Jackson: Cryptid Annihilator. He has not gotten within 10 feet of let alone annihilated even a single squirrel. He's convinced he can tempt Mothman with a siren call, which is a "ba CAW!" you can hear from time to time in the background of Matt's videos. He has more than once expressed that his life's goal is to get railed by Mothman, but he's willing to simply meet a cryptid. The closest he got was running into Bryan Danielson, famed yoga youtuber, when he was doing yoga in the woods and Nick was on the hunt for Bigfoot. But that ended with him in a headlock, so he kind of pretends it never happened.

Adam Page is a climate and nature vlogger. His main focus is on sharing the damage climate change has done to areas over time, but his most popular video is an attempt at a collaboration with Nick. Mid video, the two of them started arguing over whether or not Mothman was real or a fictionalized rationalization of climate change until Matt, who was hanging out in the other room, stomped in and yelled, "Would you two just kiss already?!" They've been together 3 years and have not stopped arguing with each other and Matt. He's also in a mild war with Bryan for best nature vlogger because he doesn't think being half naked in the woods counts as nature vlogging.

Daniel Garcia is a gossip/sports blogger. Mainly, he and his best friend Zay shit talk everybody as much as they want and there's never any backlash because the two of them are so goddamned charming in person everybody gives up. Daniel is also an insufferable flirt, which probably has something to do with it. There's rumors he's been spotted in the background of Renee Paquette's wrestling vlog in the indie promotion she runs with Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley, but nobody can prove it was him making out with Eddie in that two-frame shot in the background.

They all meet up at a con one summer and shit gets...weird. Nick thinks he spots Mothman, jumps him, and knocks the head off only to reveal a dude with dark hair and a weird little smile. "What the hell is wrong with you, dude?" Wheeler Yuta, frequent commenter and viewer of all the previously discussed vlogs. "Can't a dude cosplay?" Matt helps Wheeler clean up and finds rants about Mothman and steel drums and cryptids far more appealing when they're coming from a guy this cute.

I'm still trying to figure out how to draw this bc I suck at scifi type shit but. Sci-fi au where Alfred has slowly had parts of his body modified and replaced by the us government in an attempt to create the world's best immortal living weapon <3

Like. Imagine. Ivan's gone through a lot of shit with his own gov obvs (i mean, there's that strip where he has to stop a tank) but. The horror in his eyes when part of Alfred's arm comes apart and the inside is this inhuman fusion of pulsating twisting veins and mechanical pieces making up where his "bones" should be. But Alfred's just like "what? Don't you all go though this?"

All A Dream

Fyodor told himself it was all a dream. The day he dawned the equipment and was given the gun…controlling elemental energy, only the chosen and blessed were able to do it and yet here he was with that power just in his hands. In the form of a rifle he could blast out molten hot bullets infused with pyro. He was dreaming, he had to be… no way someone like him was just given this?

The power was intoxicating. He could bend fire to his will like it was nothing, the rifle fit smoothly in his hand and shot just as he willed. Like it was made for him.

His mission this week was to accompany his superior and some of his fellow agents to “confront” some women about leaking Fatui secrets or something like that, Fyodor honestly wasn’t paying too much attention. This was his first mission with his superior and much more experienced agents! He needed to impress them. The mere fact that he was put on a team with them was a testament to his ability, he rose through the ranks with relative ease and the fact that he could prove himself further was a dream come true, he was gonna not only prove himself to his seniors no, he would do better.

He held the barrel of the gun to her head. Her eyes were wide and pulsing with fear, he smiled down at her. “This is what you get for raising a hand to the Fatui. Nothing but nuisances to be stomped out!” The words felt unnatural in his mouth but came out nonetheless. The eyes staring up at him turned to that of pure hatred so visceral that it made him flinch. They burned into him as he felt his skin begin to heat despite the armor being explicitly fire proof. “You Fatui are nothing but cowards!” The women spat out in a rage. “Some day justice will be brought down upon you scum and it will not hesitate to take everything!” Fyodor could only let out a nervous laugh as he brought the barrel further down into her head. She leaned into it, maintaining her piercing glare. He hesitated, the women closed her eyes…then he fired.

“Move move MOVE!” He heard shouted in the distance. He could barley comprehend it, it was all a blur. They were under attack by the Traveler as many of his ally’s were in the past. He moved back just in time before a Geo spike came from below knocking a fellow comrade to the ground. There was no time for them to get up though as the Traveler came down a second later. A stomp from above to the back…his spine shattered. Fyodor jumped back once again and took aim. The traveler swiftly dodged it with ease and stated to make their way towards him with blinding speed, lines of anemo indicating the use of their powers. Fyodor leapt back again, this time stumbling a bit before taking aim once again. He hammed up his ability to its max, shield going up and coating him in a warm layer of protection as the traveler slashed down where he once was. The traveler took a swing that barely missed him. This is my chance! He aimed and fired two bullets of pyro. They rushed through the air at blinding speed straight towards the travelers skull. The travelers head whipped up towards the bullets before they drew back to unleash an electro attack. The electro and pyro projectiles collide and sent off an explosion knocking Fyodor back and chipping away at his shield, barely a scratch. The traveler rushed at him once again anemo coating on their heels in a flash. The shift from purple to green on their outfit stood out against the dark of the encampment. Fyodor reloaded but before he could send another shot the sound of crackling filled his ears. He looked down to see the travelers electro infused blade against his stomach, the shield chipped once again. “Damn it!” , He let out between his teeth. He jumped back a few feet as the travelers sword hit the ground, cracking it. He caught his breath in the few seconds of stilled silence as the dust settled. His ally’s were…dead? No matter, they were useless anyways. He looked up to see piercing golden eyes staring at him. An incompressible look on their face; almost distracted but still completely focused, bored but determined, angry but still somehow apathetic. He let out a shuttered laugh. “Heh. Is that all you can do? All that work for barely a chip of my shield. No plan? No tricks? Just charging in like some quirked up gorilla?!” He taunted because he could. There was no way the traveler could kill him before exhaustion took them out. What could they do? Geo, anemo, and dendro do nothing to him and electro was long shot from optimal. He laughed once again, a distorted sound behind his mask. To think a second before he was actually scared. His teammates consisted of a hydrogunner, a geochanter, and anemoboxer; all of them either fragile or weak against an element of the traveler. Not him though, he was once again chosen by destiny; given glory, loved by fate. He chuckled to himself in the darkness as shadows passed over the travelers face, no doubt contemplating retreat. He raised his rifle then aimed at the travelers stunned figure. Then they disappeared.

Huh? Before he could move fireworks exploded next to his ear. The travelers sword sending cracks through the pyro membrane. Fyodor’s eyes wide; the traveler stood in front of him, their hair billowing behind them as electro coated their body, but the onslaught didn’t end there. Once again faster than the eye could see they disappeared in a purple haze and appeared again, this time crouched down, a slash over his stomach and once again the shield chipped. The cracks got deeper. Fyodor couldn’t even scream as the blade came down again. Crack! Then pivoting up towards his skull. Crack! He tried to jump back only for electro projectiles to exploded against his torso, he stumbled back leaving a wide enough opening for the traveler to dart forward and send one last pierce through his shield. It shattered into pieces before his very eyes as he hit the road, scattering dust.

The traveler held the point of their blade to his neck. He stared up at them, eye wide and pulsing with fear. The travelers apathetic expression didn’t change. He made no sound; he couldn’t. The traveler didn’t hesitate. He closed his eyes. Fyodor told himself it was all a dream.

Have you heard the musical "The Dieselpunk Orchestra"? I think you'd really like it. One of the characters is also a govt-modified supersoldier. (I love love love the alfred idea btw!)

heres the link to the musical songs if you're interested. It's actually part 2 of a musical series but the first one is steampunk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBonEM6YyNM&list=OLAK5uy_lhlLYWU7W5xKs6XzKeQ7WE89jE6_2UkEo&ab_channel=PaulShapera-Topic

I have not! It sounds familiar so I belive I've heard of it before but I've never actually listened to the musical. But that definitely does seem up my alley!!

It's always good to have more ideas to pull from too, right now I'm mostly basing the vibes (not actual concrete parts but vibes) off like, Akira and Bioshock

I find that a lot of media that I enjoy in this sort of genre that i want to pull inspiration from lean a little too much into the true tech part of it (like being able to connect your brain to a network or having completely clear visible prothetic components) or the fantasy part (psychic powers or magical abilities) to draw visual inspiration from for this specific au, so I'm always open to new suggestions both as vibes inspo and just to indulge in on my own time!

Tldr I really appreciate the suggestion and I'll be sure to check it out when I have time!
