Don’t mind me I just like to see him go bananas about cartoonish Autobot rules

Maaan…..if Prowl was in tfp he would spontaneously combust at least once a day

I keep thinking about that AU concept where Ford goes to find Stan *before* he ever went to Gravity Falls and ough these brothers just make me so ill ☹️

It is imperative to me that Bill and Stan do torrid Duchess Approves roleplay and argue about character motivations

It Never Happens Au party portraits lets go!!!!

(designs/extra comments under cut)

I have no clue how level progression actually works in Isat so don't mind the numbers too much. Loop's stats are taken directly from their bossfight though.

Portraits made using kongkrog's isat profile customizer.

The sad man, after getting to a town and buying some now clothes and having a shower. He's still generally melancholic, but cheers up quite a bit. Has a bad tendency to poke his nose where he shouldn't. Too shy to ask people's names when he forgets, so calls them by their titles instead. Big fan of poetry.

Nille! She jumped at the chance to go on an advent with Bonnie, but has mixed opinions on Loop. Very boisterous in conversation , but usually sticks to herself. Uncontrollably observant and with good intuition, can read people and situations very accurately. Figured out that "thinking really hard abou what you want" when crafting leads to a higher success rate (and the smell of sugar, for some reason?), so her creations stick together even when they look incredibly unstable.

OOOH i love this....

yeah absolutely!!!!! im such a sucker for [emotional experience that causes physical manifestations of change in a character]. i don't have a particular vision for these changes in mind, but i LOVE the idea that there Were Noticeable Differences in their appearances after re-entering the rift. feel free to come up with your own ideas on this if you want!!!

recovery was ABSOLUTELY a group effort-- i think the gods probably became even closer than before while bonding over the whole "wow being a human sucks a TON but there are also so many nice shared experiences in just having a warm meal together, etc"

YES RAZZMA MY BELOVED i think he would absolutely have a major role in this.. i left the "through hijinks, the gods get better!!!" part of the Au writeup SUPER open-ended for anyone to build off of this if they want!!! i think he would become really close to the gods-- i imagine that she needed to visit them all in order to paint the in-game triptych, and really comes out of her shell emotionally after bonding so much with the gods while they heal from the fall.

i like to imagine that click clack and cobigail become especially close during this time, being the closest to thespius. i think them seeing thespius still in the rift after getting their bearings as humans was pretty awful (click's heart just about split in two), and they had to rely heavily on each other to find the motivation to keep going for their partner/best friend, no matter how hopeless the odds seemed.

All the gods helping each other recover enough to get back to Thespius. The siblings leaning on each other, King and Mitternacht man… I like to imagine Razzma and the resistance help hide the gods until it’s time to take back the Spire.

I wonder if the gods are all effected from being mortal again for a while. Like if their forms are very slightly different. Bauhau with more cracks for example.
