what chonny aus do you have?

!!! I’ve been meaning to infodump about more of these. Tysm for asking I forget that people can be interested in my concepts so it’s very cool to be reminded of that :0

Also to anyone, don’t be afraid to send asks about my stories! I love taking about my AUs and interpretations it’s very fun

Just the list alone w/o explanations includes: Dungeons & Darrells, Jashlife, tbn Warrior Cats AU, Entropic Expiration, Whole of Leaves [tbn, just a placeholder for notes and such], tbn Melodious!Whole AU.

There’s technically also my interpretations of the Power Hour stories which could kinda be classified as AUs? I’ll probably make them their own separate post if people are interested. Story summaries and art under the cut

Dungeons & Darrells:

AU where they are in the D&D universe as {hypothetical} PCs. You can find a full explanation of the lore and their races/classes/etc. here!

Jashlife:

AU where the Jashlings [including ones from other albums and singles] are put in the Life Series SMP. The au includes all of the seasons, though the lineup of Jashlings differs between them (I haven't really gotten a chance to consider how Real Life/The April Fools season will fit into this au yet, but I'll probably just let it be quite silly and lighthearted). I've mainly developed the Third Life season's lore, but other than knowing that Double Life will be fairly Power Hour centric I haven't really been able to fixate on this au consistently enough to finish the lore. {That will probably be a common theme with these AUs sorry haha}

The lineup for 3L includes: the before. aka Kairos, Mario is Dead, Covered in Discontent aka Cider, The Megalovania remixes/Chonny Underjash, and HMS. Whole is technically also there, but as a Watcher who isn't directly participating.

Heart and Mind have an alliance that is broken later on. Soul temporarily allies with Kairos before it falls apart, and Soul spends the rest of the season alone besides some interactions with Heart and Mind. Kairos is then invited to Cider and Underjash's alliance and they are friends :) also Kairos and Cider's friendship continues throughout all their seasons together and they agree to not attack each other unless it comes to the two of them or alliances {They are so very important to me I get so emotional over their dynamic in all my Jashling interpretations /pos} Mario and Cider are on good terms and will often help each other until they turn red, and Cider focuses on his official alliance.

Warrior Cats AU:

Jashlings [non-HMS included) as Warrior Cats. Heart: Ardorlune Mind: Cloudedflare Soul: Eclipticvoid Whole: Goldenvoid/Harmonicstar

HMSW are in a small clan, with Harmonicstar as the leader, that functions pretty much like canon clans, though there are a couple small differences. It’s old enough to have had many generations and legends form, but it has begun to dwindle. I haven't decided on the exact list of cats in this first clan, but so far besides HMSW the before./Kairos is also part of this clan. The clan finally disbands after the death of Harmonicstar. The exact cause of his death is unknown and leads to a lot of tension, more specifically between Soul and Kairos. HMS travel deeper into the forest and meet another small group of cats that they befriend. They also eventually find Kairos has ended up there as well, but they're able to tolerate him since they've made the mutual friend of Cidermoss(Covered in Discontent.) They share stories of the old clan which sparks a lot of interest in the new cats they meet, and they eventually form a new clan. A lot of things in terms of clan structure have been altered from canon; most notably so power is overall distributed pretty equally throughout the cats. Eclipticvoid is technically the leader of the clan, with Ardorlune and Cloudedflare as his two deputies, but the three of them lead together. Eclipticvoid only really steps in to make a final decision when they’re caught in a disagreement. Ardorlune and Cloudedflare mainly focus on organizing things within the clan, while Eclipticvoid focuses more on overall mediation. Eclipticvoid can also be given full power to make decisions on his own if the clan agrees it’s a time of crisis, it’s always temporary though. There’s also more non leader roles besides just warriors and medicine cats though I’m still working out exact details. The story continues with both silly Jashlings shenanigans as well as canon-typical angst, drama, all that battle cats and Jash stuff yk. There's also references to the CCCC loops with HMS fighting, but they're pretty much just metaphorical.

Entropic Expiration:

CW for this one: a lot of the primary focus of this AU revolves around the death of stars and galaxies, as well as the death of the Universe itself. If those sorts of existential themes easily make you anxious or uncomfortable I’d recommend skipping over this summary :]

AU where they are silly stardust space creatures inspired by the concept of entropy within the context of physics, Entropy is the idea that once energy is used up, more specifically through heat, it will be lost forever. This means that there will eventually be time when our Universe is in a state of Complete Entropy which will mean The Heat Death; or, The Big Freeze of The Universe, which is another main focus in this AU. The remnants of Whole exists as the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation— The first light/energy of the universe before it expanded.

They want to believe Whole is always there, but perhaps that light is truly gone. Perhaps he is just a memory that can never be reached again; a fossil beyond the current existence of a universe that remains only as radiation. The only way to know would see out the end of the Universe, and find out if there would be any rebirth beyond its death.

Heart and Mind’s fights often end up speeding up the deaths of stars and galaxies around them. At first they only really kill celestial objects that were already near the end of their lifespan, but as they focus on the stars and only see the way the nebulae of their corpses leads to new stars being born, they ignore the energy lost which pushes them closer to Complete Entropy.

Soul grows more and more frustrated by their inability to witness the harm they cause. He threatens them and they back off a little, but it’s never a true desire to improve. Soul knows this, and begins to lose hope in things getting better with the other two. He clings on to the possibility of Whole’s return if another Universe could begin, and as he loses patience he forces the stars to burn hotter and brighter to use up their energy.

Heart and Mind finally start to panic as they realize the inevitability of Entropy. With the threat of death on the horizon, they finally begin to work together and appreciate the Universe {Perhaps it’s already too late. Perhaps the Universe really will return. Who’s to say; the end isn’t here yet.}

“Whole of Leaves” <yet to be named, but that’s what I’ve been calling it in my lore planning notes>:

House of Leaves/Myhouse.wad inspired AU. Basically House of Leaves but the House is Whole who’s witnessing horrors beyond comprehension.

“Melodious!Whole distorted timelines AU” <Also yet to be named>:

The Whole in this AU diverges from my usual interpretation enough that I don’t really like referring to him as Whole; so for clarity between the two interpretations this version of Whole is called Melodious/Melodic/Melodica/Melody/etc.

Within my canon interpretation, Whole— Harmonia/Concordia— doesn’t have control over the grand majority of the loops {majority, since there are a couple that were restarted from a subconscious wish to return; usually because of missing HMS, the urge to return to a worse mental state because despite being unhealthy that familiarity is comforting, etc. The main note for that is that they were subconscious, and would have also been shared by HMS to some degree because of the nature of how they are connected in my interpretation.}

This Whole— Melodious— is a little more separated from HMS, and most of the loops are restarted fully intentionally {some of the earliest loops just… happened, and there are some with that same subconscious idea as my usual Whole, but by the start of this AU’s storyline they’re pretty much all intentional.} because of missing HMS, or, mainly, Melody struggling to accept the pain of existing as himself.

In this AU Melodica stops restarting the loops for the sake of ending the suffering it brought HMS once they find a way to communicate with and confront him.

He quickly starts to struggle with the burden of being alone. He promised to do all he could to never let the loops continue, though, and instead he ends up coming across a way to distort time and reality. [physically shown through a butterfly themed clock, which was the same means that restarted the loops.) He snatches Jashlings from a couple different realities; some are completely different, some diverge from his own, and are instead at a different point in the past or future {The first group is made up of The Narrator, the before., Covered in Discontent, and I may also add some of the singles.}

There’s silly shenanigans and bonding, and while Melody does start to gain some more unhealthy attachments to the others, things are overall pretty happy, until oh no parallels! Melodica accidentally kills most of the Jashlings, hurting them in a way similar to how he hurt HMS. He’s devastated and panics that he will end up alone again, so he messes with the timelines once more and brings the Power Hours’ Jashlings into the group. Things continue on in a bittersweet kind of happiness until history repeats and once again Melodious accidentally kills the others. CJPH is the only one to survive, and confronts Melodious as his own distorted version of HMS. They fight before CJPH locks Harmony away for the rest of his mortal life so he cannot cause any more harm; a place where time is stagnant. CJPH is sad that he couldn’t really help the other Jashlings or even Harmony in time, but moves on anyway. He does what he can to improve and help others in the way he couldn’t help himself.

Man that was a lot! There’s likely still a couple AUs I’m missing but those would be smaller one-off concepts anyways. Thank you to anyone who read this far, we stay silly :]
