#My boi Wally isn't ok in this au

[easterartist]

Coughs in new welcome home au

Hiii I know I need to do competition stuffs but I've been having welcome home au brainrottttt

Basically, this is a crossover au if you will. The main protag of the au is Wally! Essentially, the crossover is Welcome home & Bendy and the ink machine! Wally used to be a human , and he used to work in Joey Drew studios! (As the janitor! He was once Wally Franks!)

He left the studio when he started to notice all the bad things starting to happen (aka Joey going insane with cultic power or whatever). Then later on he started working for the Playfellow workshop! Instead of giving him a janitor position like he was trying to sign up for (cuz that's where his skill set was) , they ended up hiring him as the voice actor for Wally Darling! (He had no clue why, it was very confusing on why they chose him to be a voice actor of all things when he had zero experience with it.)

Later on, several bad things occured in the puppet show studio (things I will go into detail on later), and his soul was forcefully put inside the puppet he voiced!

The other voice actors also ended up having their souls forced into the puppets they were voicing, but Wally is the only one to remember who he once was (EVERYONE else only remembers being the puppet, not the person). Later on, they escape the weird other realm that they had been placed in, as well as the studio itself after everyone remembers who they are! And then, a strange turn of events causes Wally and the other puppets to wind up in the ink realm of the batim studio!

That may seem like the whole plot, but it DEFINITELY isn't. There's so much more to it! That's just the basis so you get an idea of what is happening in the au!

That's about it for now. I'll post more later! :D

Bye byeeeee!

its 'hyperfixate on my first ever fandom' time oh boy

been rotating the idea of a young justice circus AU fic in my head and I treat tumblr like its my personal notesapp anyway so I'm just gonna put this here. if anything comes of it it comes of it.

AU of the OG 6 + Will and Zatanna because he was there in the episode that sparked these brainworms and come one. magician found in circus. that one just writes itself.

basically instead of becoming sidekicks/'partners' and forming the team, events(tm) lead to all of the members joining the circus. I'd probably end up making it slice of life

ok time for backstory or whatever Dick

this one is obvious he just never left the circus

actually did a minor stint as robin but the circus closed ranks around him when bruce tried to adopt him and in this AU bruce has things like emotional intelligence (canonical to earth-16. kinda) and went 'hmmm perhaps I am not ready to raise a very traumatized kid. maybe he should stay with his adopted family'

Wayne Industries is a major sponsor of the circus (why do I keep saying 'the circus'. its Halys. the Haly International Travelling Circus.) in character because bruce feels Empathy(tm) for dick and out of character because do you know how many plot holes that fixes. 'why can the circus take in this many teens? because Wayne just fucking throws money at them. they could retire and live a lush life if they wanted to! they do this for love not for money, and they no longer have to worry about money its great'

does a solo trapeze act, and is working on a duo act with Wally

Wally

the science experiment did not give him superspeed it just gave him a hospital visit and a lecture

went to see Halys after he got out of the hospital. because Barry and Iris wanted to give him something else to focus on

his dad (not Barry and Iris they're great this is my AU and in MY AU he lived with his dad who was not great) he was like 'ok fuck it I'm joining the circus'. and then he did.

doesn't actually have an act in the big top, but is one of the people who helps with the live setup/takedown of equipment in the acts. Dick is teaching him how to do the trapeze stuff but he's nowhere near ready to actually perform

Kaldur

Travelled with the circus for a mission and liked it a lot

this AU is a little darker wrt Atlantis, but basically his family sent him to live surfaceside because the Purist attacks were getting bad enough that they (and he) were genuinely scared for his life

also in this AU he learned about Black Manta being his father a lot earlier. he still isn't happy about it but because he found out about it at around the same time he left to go be aqualad, finding out didn't have the same impact on him

He's still Aqualad in this AU he's just a league standby/auxilary roster member

he and Will are the only ones who are also full-time heros on top of being members of the circus. Dick sometimes tags along with them but a lot of the time 'absolutely the fuck not you are thirteen you cannot come along with us to help bust a human traffic-ing ring.' actually works because Dick can't make the 'I've been training with Batman for years, I know what the fuck I'm doing' argument in this cannon. also because they rightfully pointed out that he's young enough that showing up with them all the time could easily point back to the circus, whereas the two of them are old enough that people will buy the 'traveling heros' thing

Kaldur is also more of a back-end guy (he's one of the people who helps unload/set up equipment and the fair grounds before the circus kicks off), but on nights that Zatanna is sick he will fill in for her magic show

Will

did the cademus mission solo with Kaldur after bitching and moaning about how the league didn't trust the two of them and then 'finding' the intel that the league was gathering left out on Ollie's desk

'finding' as in the league is much more willing to entertain the idea of a covert ops team of underage heros when the two of them are in their late teens and considered legal adults (or at least Will is because idr how old Kladur is cannonically in S1 but iirc he's like 17) and wanted to stress-test the pair of them

They found Conner! and also! Roy!

Will is ok about that! Its fine! its cool! no biggie! everything about his life is a lie but thats okay!

(narrator voice: he was in fact not fine about it)

Anyway yeah he's having a moment about that but thats ok. Conner got stuck on the team with them. Will is also totally okay with this

(side note because this is less than a year with Roy in cryo sleep he and Ollie have a much better relationship in this cannon. I mean he's still pissed and also having a moment about losing his arm but also he's missed a lot less of his life)

(Roy and Will have a very end-of-s2 type relationship where Roy is like 'ok yeah so he's my clone and thats like. creepy and also weird and also what the fuck. but he is also the one who actively found me b/c otherwise they wouldn't have even known to look and also he didn't know so like. I mean I'm not okay with this in the slightest but I'm not mad at him)

does an archery act. with fire. its pretty sick

Artemis

her mom is still in prison. her dad just got arrested. her sister has been MIA for months now, and is in no place to take care of her

so what does she do? she runs away and joins the circus. because like FUCK if she's letting CPS get their hands on her (Jade knows she's in the circus but also at this point in her life has already started to carve out a name as Cheshire)

rolled up and went 'yo do y'all want a knife thrower' and since their sword swallower had just retired they were like 'yea sure we need a new pointy sharp act'

not the most open about being Sportsmaster's daughter but thats more of a 'why the fuck would I go around telling people that my dad is a killer' thing. by the time Will, Kaldur, and Conner roll up the the circus the rest of the gang knew (they were briefed about it so they also knew)

Conner

Will and Kaldur broke him out of Cadamus with the league

Came with them on this mission and yeah he's staying now he likes it here better

the circus full of strays collected him like a stray and he collected them right back. uno reverse bitches

this is honestly probably a healthier environment for him to be in

does a strongman act. does not really understand why people are so impressed, but he thinks its kinda cool

The Light is screaming crying tearing their hair out (except lex cause he's bald) why is their secret weapon clone having the time of his life in the circus what the fuck

M'gann

snuck down to earth. was not detected on her uncle's bio-ship

did NOT join the team did NOT tell anyone she was there.

showed up at the circus. did some research. asked if they wanted a contortionist

also presented herself as being 17-18 instead of being a teenager

nobody has realized that she's missing yet. she is. totally cool totally cool totally okay about that.

people do not know she's a martian and they have no reason to suspect. this is going to be one of The Many Big Reveals.

crushing on Conner because he's an Outsider who is Not Of Earth like her. he has heard this because she doesn't know how well he can hear and is like 'hmm. well I will not mention this'

honestly much more used to being Megan The Human Person

Zatanna

the events of cannon happened and her dad got Dr. Fate-ed

since she had met Connor/Will/Kaldur at this point and knew they were at the circus she showed up shortly after that and went 'can I join y'all'

and I mean. she's a born performer. and the theatrics of a deeply traumatized 16 year old who is desperately trying not to have a mental breakdown are RIVETING

depending on when I decide to start this AU she probably isn't at the circus (since I'm probably going to start with 'Conner, Will, and Kaldur go undercover at the circus, and she wouldn't show up until a bit later')

saves most of her grand magic for the stage. at this point since there have been reveals the rest of the team covers for her. does card tricks and slight of hand tricks as well but thats normally the warm up to her act

ok I'm tired I might add more to this later
