make an au where callie is healthy and mentally stable :)

Okay okay I see what ya want! I know the perfectly mentally stable Callie au I haven't talked about yet! (TW for delusions. I have done mild research on this subject, but not enough that I can claim this is in any way accurate. Do not take this au as accurate to real life delusions) Also gotta credit @eikaprime for a lot of these details, she's evil and you should read everything she creates because they are all awesome :)

Callie is the sole news host of inkopolis news. She never had a cousin. For splatfests, she brings in two co-stars to choose which side they want. These guest celebrities can be popular bands, idols from other areas, or brand models! Then, one day, a splatfest starts. Callie says she has a 'very special' guest today. The camera pans away for a second, and then pans back to...Callie. Wearing a mustache, and her hair swoop the opposite direction. She's clearly trying not to smile and failing, creating a half smile. This is 'Marie', Callie's 'Cousin'. She actually ends up becoming popular, popular enough that her persona is ironed out, made to look more unique and real, even though most people understand its just Callie with a different hairstyle and some makeup. Then the final fest rolls around. Callie laughs when she finds out the two sides. 'sure, I'll write some self burns'. And then she loses. To MARIE. To someone who doesn't even exist. She's fine. It's just a silly competition. Yet Marie is still in demand while Callie falls out of it. Marie sponsors brands, Marie guest stars on shows. Not Callie. Some of Marie's fans think she's even a real person, now. And then Craig and Three go on their mission. and Callie is left alone. ... Four spots a white haired woman by a grate. She waves them over, and they follow. "I'm Marie Cuttlefish", she says, and Four looks confused, because Marie Cuttlefish isn't real. She assumes Four just hasn't heard of her and moves on. Callie Cuttlefish recently went missing, though, along with the Zapfish, so Four is dubbed that name and helps 'Marie'. When Marie tells Four that her cousin, Callie, is missing. It's sort of true. The Zapfish is rescued, but Callie isn't there. Luckily, Agent 3 and Captain Cuttlefish are there! They can help!

But they keep on calling her Callie. And they ask if she's alright. Because Marie was never a real person, and Callie is right in front of them.

so yeah au where Callie is perfectly mentally stable
