#Voidbound au

[pointyfruit]

Sans. Embryo.

If you can’t make kids at home, lab-grown is fine.

…even if they’re growing on accident like mold at the back of a fridge.

Kitty, what kind of fics do you currently have in the works?

Uh let's see,

Minecraft related:

Dreambur Detective/Serial Killer AU - Dream is the detctive and Wilbur is the serial killer and Dream’s trying to catch him and failing.

Dreambur Pirate AU - Dream is a pirate captain who falls in love with a famous singer Wilbur Soot, who is the son of a famoua pirate and doesn't know.

Backstories for the Pirate AU - I have Sam and Wilbur's bsckstories yet to write. Sam's is nearly halfway done.

Voidbound - Old Origins/Hybrid SMP fic that I need to finish the last chapter on.

Old Origins/Hybrid SMP drabbles that happens after the events of Voidbound. Extra bits of sorts.

Many ideas for the Manhunt Worlds AU involving Dreambur.

Other:

The wrestling fic I haven't touched in over a year but has plans to finish.

Skyrim story based on my Khajiit OC.

It's all slow going and I'm in no rush. I write as the motivation comes to me.

Thoughts and questions on Pesterquest Volume 4! Tip: I am so fucking mad.

-Jade's theme is a remix of Carefree Victory, but with a few... different motifs. Veeery subtle, just a robotic voice rapping (no idea what it says though) and a dude beatboxing. Tirona also had a remix of the same song back in Friendsim...EDIT: This remix's got all the kids' instruments jamming out, and the beatboxing's Dave's addition. Still no idea about the robot rapping though.

-It was to be expected that Jade would be hit the hardest by our No SBURB AU; I thought she still dreamed on Prospit... she just can't catch a break, can't she now?

-(Turns out Pesterquest's No SBURB AU also goes for all human / Earth-based fanventures! That's actually kinda neat)

-...what is NOT neat is that unless MC moves people between universes (which they probably will do), it looks like we won't get Davekat nor Rosemary here.

-Good to know that the butterfly Grandpa Harley blasted to smithereens that one time likely wasn't an outlier in any way besides screentime!! wait fuck i wanted to go for the joke angle but MC says the island is very empty later on shit it's another layer of sadstuck now

-The kids register the MC (who actually has a name of their own!) as a blank kinda friendy loking thign (with a dash of First Guardian unpredictableness), though our pals from Friendsim saw them as a normal (as much as can be) alien... We'll have to wait and see how the Hivebent trolls see them (besides wondering wh0's that douchebag, of course)

-Aradia also gets floofy hair!!!!!!!!! And we get to see her!!!!!!! And Sollux too!!!!!!!! (what does she know though?????)

-Of course Jade's kinda jealous of our fancy space powers....... (crying cat)

-I can't believe the Manthro Chaps are just Jake's fursona(s)

-There's a few early / classic Homestuck jokes, like Jade's name being Gigi (because she's GG; I've got no idea what the story behind “Lynn” is) and Squiddles being a TV show! And of course Jade relates (without needing future knowledge) to Inkabelle, who spends years lost and alone but is rescued in the end...

-Bec remains a good boy and best friend, and of course he reminds us of a good girl and best lusus: Ladyy. And also of a rat bitch, unfortunately.

-HAUNTSWITCH (the town) IS MENTIONED!! And there's someone there making sure Jade gets stuff sent her way... whoever they are, they're probably the only person who knows where her island is.

-I'm positive this fic's already been written at least once, because I read it and it was great, but: alternate universe where Joey and/or Jude take Jade in when Grandpa dies, and she gets to have a happy childhood, and never ever believes she deserves to be alone and miserable and to suffer more than the average person- or at all even. (Jade and Joey could bond over their dislike of Grandpa's trophies... and the fact that he abandoned them both.)

-Considering this quote: “Frost floods your veins and nestles into your heart with a burning chill, for reasons that you don't quite understand”, when MC finally gets their memories it's going to be a Big Fucking Moment. I have a theory that they might be Timebound (and a Scorist) because they've kept Mallek's hoodie as opposed to all the clothes they got from other friends, but those are hints to Blood and Heart if I've ever seen some.

-She's been bottling up her emotions practically her entire life. And now we've destroyed the only thing she had to look forward to. At least she gets to vent a little, even if it doesn't last long.

-Methinks Bec may have had very good reasons to keep Jade at least out of the temple (not so sure regarding on the island), even if the game is (seemingly.) no more. Because we've got a Bec Noir lookalike on Prospit, with red powers, who immediately gets rid of the teleport pad in the frog temple.

-And explicitly after going to Prospit -after entering the Medium, SBURB's domain-, Jade decides that it's fine if life basically screws her over in all ways, because it's her fate. Her good (or perhaps, better) end is a bit of a silver lining, but not that much. Once a player, always a player indeed...

-Of course we had to get the kids all together for this one, even if MC took their time to figure out they could do it. It's good to know that they'll have some happy moments at least...

-Unless my game glitched out, Rose's theme does not play when we zap to her house, while John's and Dave's do. She instantly figures out that Jade's feeling down because SBURB didn't happen, and John sees the writing on her walls, though he wouldn't have had a chance to mention Dave's. (Curiously, it looks like MC can't see those.)

-When we zap to Dave's room, she almost gets a shuriken to the face; and while Rose is the type to try and keep a cool and collected façade, that seems to be the catalyst for shit starting to leak everywhere, as opposed to hitting the fan: she asks MC about Dave's brother -who she finds psychologically fascinating-, and starts thinking about the ethics of using the retcon powers. Lastly, she says that we don't have to worry about this now.

-...Wasn't Rose aware that something had changed from the beginning? Didn't she literally do Light stuff in her bad end? Couldn't she perceive MC's narration? (Dave did say that they just mumble away sometimes, but he's a Time player (one of the most meta aspects), and nobody else's said so before; as far as I remember the only one who also seemed to be aware of it was Marsti, Voidbound.)

-So. Are we going to have to deal with the (with sincere apologies to all rats) Ultimate Rat Bitch, like what happened in Friendsim? Because it sure fucking looks so. there might or might not be a direct reference to the epilogues, besides what i've written here. We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out, once we befriend everyone in Pesterquest. (is this the third, pumpkin route???)

-(Admittedly, Bec Noir's Prospit red zappy cousin's description is vague enough that it could possibly apply to an Alt!Calliope-possessed dead Jade; with the black tendrils being the Witch hood and the wings maybe coming from consuming Lord English back then? But it's a pretty long reach, not even counting that its wings are explicitly said to be leathery where cherub wings are feathery, and most importantly, that this is not her style. All the evidence points towards U!Dirk.)

*Blatantly ignores UT’s likely timeline so they can interact* They’d be friends. They’d get along. Trust me, my uncle works at Toby Fox.

What would gasters opinion on the amalgamates if he ever found out? I always assumed what happed to him was kinda amalgamate adjacent and the reason that the core is so powerful is cause it’s chock full of some forms of raw determination. Maybe he would horrified, maybe he’d understand or maybe he might see them as a potential to find a cure/ treatment to his/their condition. What do you think? (:

He’d certainly be watching Alphys’ experiments with DT very closely. Until her, no one else had studied it as closely as he had. The amalgamates confirmed for him that Determination caused his condition, and seeing them go back to their families lit a small flame of hope for his own future. Even if they’ll never be the same, they could still be happy.

Of course, by then he’s been back in the void long enough to become slightly detached from the world’s events, so his initial reaction is just

[steampoweredwerehog]

The blorbocity of it all

[steampoweredwerehog]

I’ve got so much brainrot about him Still 👁️👁️

Officially changing the AU’s name to Voidbound! Fallling into the Core intrinsically linked Gaster to the Void. A link that steadily gets stronger as Gaster’s condition progresses…

…How long can he resist it?

[steampoweredwerehog]

“How could a soul in that condition…possibly persist?”

Almost forgor to share more doodles from @carlyraejepsans's whiteboard! Doodling with folks was a blast ^.^

[steampoweredwerehog]

I assume this version of gasted is also sans and Pap's father (my favourite trope)

How did he have them...

did he...

A. Handplates them (i.e. take circular disks of bone from his hands and use that to create the blorbos through testubes)

B. Or straight up testube some magic

C. Actually get laid :jawdropemoji:

D. Soul magic and just took a piece of his soul and made two scrimblos

"Mr dingdong how are skeleton babies born" I say as I lie belly side down on his desk among his papers and look at him while kicking my legs

Yes dingdong was on purpose 😇

Funnily enough this is what I was planning on doodling next. :P

Yep, Wingdings is the father 🎉 and he made the boys Handplates-style. The loss of the Dreemurr children left an impression on him. He felt there shouldn’t be one skeleton (well, half-skeleton) left in the Underground, so he scienced his way into fatherhood. He’d probably follow that up with a dry, long-winded explanation about soul propagation and end it with:

[steampoweredwerehog]

Arrived late as hell to @carlyraejepsans' Whiteboard, but still stopped by for some doodlin'. That adorable lil munchkin in the second pic is their Soriel kid Daemo and I adore them <3

[steampoweredwerehog]

dr gaster afflicted with the curse of "fuck around and find out" 😔

A real shame that he’ll continue to Fuck Around in an active effort to Find Out. For science, y’know?
