#Doorman Doppelganger AU

[thehotgrandparent]

Random quotes that I got. Note, this is after everyone knows that the Doorman is a doppelganger

Izaack, in the movie theater with the doorman: Y’know, it’s scary being out in the dark because you don’t know when a doppelganger is going attack.

Doorman, not realizing they currently have glowing eyes to see in the dark: What do you mean? I can see just fine. It isn’t that dark.

Izaack, just noticing it: OH MY GOD

-

Doorman: Why does school exist?

Anastacha, just getting home from school and waiting on them: Mmmm, to learn. Or whatever *shrugs*

Doorman: That’s weird. We just learn from the get go once we’re old enough to actually learn.

-

Doorman: Humans are weird.

Francis: Mmmm, so are doppelgangers.

-

Angus, giggling like a school girl: Guess what I just did

Izaack: What did you do?

Doorman, eyes yellow: ANGUS, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PLANT?

(Anastacha gave them a plant as a joke, and shockingly, the Doorman took care of it)

-

Rafttellyn: So, do you have any clothes?

Doorman: Honestly, barely. I have like 3 different sets of clothes. Including my uniform

Rafttellyn: Anything else?

Doorman: No.

Rafttellyn: I’m taking you to go shopping.

I can’t think of any more rn, but if anyone wants more, I will think of them

[crudaka]

I drew more pages :D

This is an AU idea in which the Neighbors are robots created by the D.D.D. to lure/capture or destroy Doppelgangers. They still work their 'human' jobs in order to blend in.

[scribbleweb]

All the regular residents are human but the doorman is secretly a doppelganger: ❌

All the nightmare residents are inhuman and the doorman is the only human: ❌

All the nightmare residents believe the doorman is just a human, but they're secretly a doppelganger: ✅

READ THIS IT’S REALLY GOOD /gen /pos

GUYS I DID IT, I ACTUALLY DID OMG.

Please tell me your thoughts cause i am SWEATING so nervously (and kinda scared) after yall finish the fic 🥰

Summary: The doorman finally wakes up after hibernating.

Or

Doppelganger!Doorman, and awkward/bad flirting.

HUGE inspiration from @thehotgrandparent for their fic series “The Resident Doorman” and @another-night27 for their ideas on tumblr!!

[eilraee]

My fried told me doppelgangers talk just like Zim... So I created this kind of AU

Basically, Dib's a doorman and Zim's the same - an alien pretending to be a human

But yeah they're in 50s. And Zim gets destroyed every time but like not completely.

A legless Doppelganger

(Steven Rudboys)

(TW! Blood?)

🩸🩸🩸

This is actually apart of my new AU: Troublesome. :)

The AU basically makes the selected Doppelgangers... neutral.. (they don't attack unless provoked), and the only Doppelgangers that don't get killed are the ones with missing parts… the DDD agents find them, and then blow off a random body part, then leave the Doppels to 'suffer', So they walk around the complex, trying to find someone to (possibly?) cling onto. All of them typically find the doorman (you)!!

I wanna know y'all's opinion on this AU please 🙏

I'm doing every resident btw… so the next is soon to come… ;)

(Doppelganger Steven with a mole on left side of chin)

Now that I think about it I should have made the claws green…

[chronicbeans]

Two Random TNMN (AU?) Ideas I Have:

The Nightmare Mode is basically what'd happen if the Doppelgangers were able to shift into what they want to look like instead of what they need to in order to blend in.

The Nightmare Mode is a genuine place, like an alternative dimension or universe that the doorman is brought to whenever they sleep. The nightmare neighbors' lives go on after you wake up, and they are confused as to why the one human in their building seems to disappear for long periods of time.

[off-air]

TNMN AU: Neighbor Club.

Theoryscent

Certain copies ended up replacing the lifes of the real neighbors, among whom are members of the club, a simple and discreet society to uprise against the D.D.D.

Summary: 1. The D.D.D. is responsible for the propagation and creation of the copies. 2, The real neighbors are captive in the remote area meant to seclude the copies. Indeed nobody is aware of which neighbors arent real people. Themselves live and act like common people in their offices, homes.

Lore Summary: One of the firsts to be located here was Francis Mosses, it can be mentionated Angus, and the nightmare mode characters. Now many of them use to reside in the club's area, just chilling or acting as the real ones. Their objetive is destroy The D.D.D to manage themselves the Trojan Horse Project.

The club is a place like an old casino or a big abandonated opera house, at 1955. Because the age from this story maybe be related in 1955, (The World War II is over) and related previous years. Anyways the copies (doppelgangers) have a complex knowledge about world and human behaviour. I want to give Chester a role, but im working yet on it.

''Copies'' or doppelgangers, spent time into the hazard zone of this experiment, serving as models to the studying. Imagine the game is D.D.D using the doorman (player) for discard and learn how to make perfect copies of a human. You're only taking note of the mistakes for them, and suffering consecuenses in the process.(I didnt play it by myself, but just imagine the experience of treat doppelgangers and then pretend to be simply attended by a psychologist like Henry, ''and it works''. Yeah right.

This zone is the remote area . The D.D.D never ''clean'' a copy, just put them away into this zone after the door worker called the 3312 (as the role of the player in the game) and keep studying . Actually, The doppelgangers keep the real humans in the area. The story tells about every character life in the Neighborhood.

Cause i need Francis Mosses arc or more than a sexy tired milkman, firsts parts of this stuff will be his introduction and a (fanon) lore and more about his daughter and Nacha.

-------------------------------------------------- Theres nothing bad to a sexy milkman, im just saying i create stuff.

Anyway i'll be posting the rest every time i advance on the data from the game, and other Headcanon ideas as original characters to make stuff, and maybe art.

[katkalis-the-horror-fanartist]

I have a few drawing ideas but I'm indecisive

[lefaystrent]

Sanders Sides X That's Not My Neighbor AU

There's this one doppelganger who keeps trying to get into the apartment complex. No matter how many times the DDD is called, he manages to escape. Strangely, he impersonates the same guy each time, and although his disguise gets better every go around, there's one major tell.

The real Janus is never this nice to the doorman.

Would it be so bad to let him in?

[pengold]

Regarding your neighbors headcanons, I don't know if the Doorman should be concerned about doppelgangers or the fact that they are guarding criminals and shady people.

...Unless the Doorman is a shady person themselves.

The Doorman in this Au knows nothing about the people in the building, yet. So far they just think they are guarding a bunch of well off and hot people. They are a sweet innocent lil guy trying to make some money. And totally doesn’t have a crush on Angus.

Also they are not the only doorman, there is a female doorman, that looks exactly like the doorman and is his roommate. She takes the day shift; and she totally know about the neighbors. Though not the details, cuz it’s safer that way.

I’ll draw more explains the Au a bit more

[thehotgrandparent]

I’m so tempted to give the Doorman a name, and I’m tempted to call them “Berry” because they just remembered Nacha bringing in a bunch of berries earlier that day and they just blurted it out

Especially since they can’t really eat berries as well

Goggling because it’ll be like:

*Random neighbor here*: Oh yes, what’s your name? I forgot to ask.

Doorman: It’s, uh, uh

Doorman, remembering that they noticed Nacha bringing home some groceries and that it included berries: My name is Berry

[fantasblog]

Sisyphean (6/6)

(Eldritch!Ace Trappola vs SomeGuy!Deuce Spade. Horror AU heavily based on FROM(2022) and That's Not My Neighbor.)

Sisyphean Masterlist

Deuce jumped just slightly when he heard a knock. He hadn’t heard anyone coming –.

The Doppelganger was standing at the door, smiling at him through the glass, its hands behind its back, looking like the picture of innocence.

Save for, of course, the sharp-toothed smile.

“No,” Deuce said, scowling. “Absolutely not.”

“You’re so cold, you’re gonna hurt a fella’s feelings one day,” it complained.

“Good,” he said flatly.

It huffed. “You try and kill an entire building’s worth of people a few times, and suddenly you’re the bad guy!”

“That is how it works, yes.” Deuce rolled his eyes. “Why are you even here?”

“I stop by all the time! What do you mean?” it said, giving its most innocent smile.

“Yeah, but you haven’t come as… yourself all the other times.”

“But I’m so tired these days,” he lamented, its expression shifting into a little pout. “I’m hungry, and shifting forms all the time is hard.”

Deuce pinched the bridge of his nose, exasperated. How could this thing be so scary half the time and so lame the other half of the time? “Well, I can’t let you in. You don’t live in this building, and we have a strict no-guest policy. As I’m sure you know, since you’ve never tried posing as someone’s friend to get inside.”

“Yeah…” it sulked. And then it brightened up, finally taking its hands out from behind its back, to reveal a… cup of coffee. “Well, I can still give you this!”

Beep.

Deuce stared, blankly, at the cup of coffee sitting in his mail slot. It had Deuce’s name on it, of course, as well as a couple of tiny hearts doodled on the wrapper.

“... what’s with you and hearts?” Deuce asked, because after the pillow, the cake, and this, he might as well ask why it was Ace’s calling card.

It shrugged, smiling. “I just think they’re kinda funny shapes! I mean, human hearts do not look like that… unless you really need glasses, I guess, but at that point pretty much everything looks like those fake hearts.”

That… checks out, yeah.

Deuce sighed, picking up the cup of coffee, spinning the cup, slowly, in careful fingers, half expecting it to blow up… somehow. “It makes it seem like you’re trying to come onto me.”

“And if I was?” It said, batting its eyelashes.

“No guests in the hotel,” Deuce said, flatly.

“Ugh. You’re no fun.”

“Sorry that getting ripped to shreds isn’t my idea of fun.”

“Like I said. No fun.”

It seemed, though, that he was going to be having even less fun, because, at that moment, a new person showed up. They looked a lot like Ace, with the same bright red hair and eyes, but stockier and dressed in a button down and slacks, as if he had just come from a shift at work. He flung his arm around Ace’s shoulders, leaning his weight on him with a wide grin.

“Is this the Doorman you’ve been obsessed with?” He peered at Deuce, tapping his finger on his chin. “He doesn’t look like much.”

It was hard to tell who was more offended by the man’s statement – Deuce or Ace.

“‘Obsessed’ is not the right word,” Ace snapped at the same time Deuce said, “Ex-fucking-scuse me?”

He continued to smile at him, completely unperturbed. “I’m sorry about Ace, I know he’s a lot to handle, thanks for dealing with him.”

The Doppelganger looked mortified, pressing its face into its hands.

Doppelgangers might not have families, not in the way that humans might, but Deuce could spot an ‘older brother’ type from a mile away.

Though that begged the question… was the man (if it was even actually human) aware of what ‘Ace’ was? It hit Deuce that it was entirely possible that Doppelgangers got their names and reputations for a reason – that they might not be homeless at all, that they might take the place of a real-life person and sneak their way into their families, pretending to be functioning members of society for years and years. That, perhaps, there was a reason why they were never spotted during the day.

Deuce gave Ace a wide-eyed look. “Does he know…?”

It was the man who responded, though, by laughing and sticking out his tongue at Deuce.

It was a black tentacle.

A wave of relief rolled over him.

Until the monster said, “Well, now that that’s all done, come on, Ace, we have to go. Mom and Dad are waiting for us, and if you’re late again they’re going to be so pissed.”

A wave of terror washed over Deuce. Because here Ace was, with a clear ‘older brother’, talking about meeting up with their ‘parents’. And he suspected that Ace hadn’t been lying when he’d said that, no, Doppelgangers don’t really have families, because it was such a strange thing to lie about, and its disgust at the way humans worked was genuine.

Ace groaned, running his hand through his hair. “One day I’m going to snap and kill everyone in that damn church, why do sermons have to be so long?”

His brother laughed, reaching out a hand to attempt to smooth down Ace’s now-messy hair, and Deuce could only stare at them, because they seemed like just any other pair of brothers, laughing and joking around and complaining about dumb things they didn’t actually care about… while also talking about murder in the same tone Deuce talked about the weather.

Ace sighed and waved at Deuce. “See ya later.”

“I hope not,” Deuce said, more out of instinct than anything.

Ace’s brother laughed. “Oh, I take it back, I like him.”

Ace grumbled under his breath, suddenly seeming very eager to get to church on time.

~

Deuce, hesitantly, took the lid off of the coffee to squint at the dark liquid. It looked normal… and, after a quick sniff test, he determined that it smelled fine, too. But, then again, so had the cake the Doppelganger had brought over, so…

He took a careful sip.

It was normal coffee.

More than that, it tasted good. Deuce didn’t even know how he took his own coffee, he usually just added sugar to taste and then dealt with it if it ended up too sweet. But this was nice.

That stalker… he thought, annoyed, but also a touch fond.

Only for his blood to run cold despite the caffeine entering his veins.

Because when had he started growing fond of Ace?

When had he started calling him ‘Ace’ at all? Stopped thinking of him as an ‘it’?

What if I think becoming ‘friendly’ with you is the way in?

Deuce marched to the bathroom, intent on pouring the coffee straight into the sink. It was tailor-made to his preferences, yes, but he couldn’t stand what it represented.

But it was good coffee, and a gift, and his mom had always taught him that wasting food was wrong…

He went back to his seat and set the coffee on his desk, wondering if he would even be able to drink it past the bile creeping up the back of his throat.

~

Cater collected the ID from him, before heading off toward the elevator.

“Appreciate you, Deuce,” Cater called over his shoulder.

Deuce waved him off, absently. It was his job, after all, he hardly deserved thanks for doing it.

Deuce went back to the computer, reaching for his coffee cup.

He paused.

His hand had something red and flaky on it. He lifted it to his nose, expecting the smell of lipstick or something…

Only to find that it smelled metallic.

Coppery, even.

His head shot up, to ‘Cater’, already in the elevator, leaning against the back wall. He gave a little finger wave with red-caked fingertips. A wide smile stretched across his face.

And then continuing to stretch, showing off rows of sharp teeth and skin pulling into something that shouldn’t have been physically possible for a human to achieve.

Deuce ran for the elevator, his arm out to try and stop it, but the doors slid shut before he could get inside.

HAJSSHISHSSV I LOVE THIS SO MUCH /gen

I love the art so much, plus the headcanon? It’s amazing

I imagine the (doppelganger) Doorman/Berry kinda like this 😙 (they’re based of the au/fanfic series (The Resident Doorman) from @thehotgrandparent )

Ik The Doorman/Berry already eats a lot of Dopplegangers from their job but let’s pretend in this context/image it’s because of VERY rare two days of no dopplegangers trying to get in and was too busy because of something to go hunting and forgot to eat🤫😊

Anyways little headcanon rant —

When dopplegangers are like low on energy/hungry some of their true form features show up. But, that’s like if they haven’t eaten for a while 🤷‍♀️

[until-another-one-comes]

What if the nightmare residents are the neighbour’s true form. The regular neighbours are their human disguised while the building is the astral circle.

Or!

The nightmare realm is an alternate universe where the doorman is transported to when he’s dreaming.

I love BOTH of these cuz they're all interesting and makes for a really great horror au.

I love the first one and the thought of the DDD assigning a human doorman to an apartment filled with literal gods and monsters and biblically accurate angels is so funny but also cool to me. But that also begs the question on what exactly is the doppelgangers if we're guarding the residents from them. I did read a fic where the doorman let in a doppel so the residents can get a meal and their real job is to protect other people from the residents.

I'm ngl I thought the second one was what actually happened in the game 💀. Like the DDD is in touch with these astral beings and make a deal with them and thats why the doorman also has to do their job in this nightmare realm. I think its cool if the 'nightmare realm' is an actual thing in-universe and makes the world they live in even more mysterious. So the doorman by day protects normal humans from doppelgangers and by night their soul is transported to the astral plane to be the doorman for the monster version. The fact that the monsters look a bit like the normal humans the doorman guards during the day is just a funny little coincidence. (or intentional? maybe their form is too much for a mortal to comprehend so in the doorman's eyes they just LOOK like the normal neighbors but they're not)
