Post Round 7 - Himei

Tallis was gone.

Himei screamed, clawed and bit at the guards who dragged her away from the stage, kicked and flailed, but it was no use. Tallis Was Gone. The weight of a collar around her neck and the subsequent shock that seized her body was probably for the best, because in the hours she was out, she didn't have to think about it. When she woke up in a new room, one with minimal hard surfaces and a camera on the ceiling, she huddled against the wall and screamed into the pillow until her throat bled and her voice went weak and hoarse.

She hoped it wouldn't recover in time for her round. She hoped she died.

It hadn't really even sunk in yet that she would never be with Tallis again. She'd never hug him or hold him around the waist as he slept, lulled by the steady rise and fall of his stomach as he breathed. She wouldn't hear him snort when she surprised him with a joke. He wouldn't get that peaceful look he got when he played his harp, his wide eyes when she kissed him. He wouldn't slip on the floor in his socks, lie on his stomach when he read a book, re-braid his hair with an irritated tilt to his brow when a few strands escaped the band.

He wouldn't...

Anything.

She was left loving someone out of reach.

To make matters worse, she and Hayate hadn't been able to meet since Round 6. Himei hardly had the energy to worry about him; he was her brother by blood, but after an entire childhood without him, it just wasn't substantial enough to occupy her thoughts when all her mind could conjure up was Tallis, you can't leave me, you can't have left, please come back, Tallis, Tallis, Tallis

"Hayate is missing," Leona, one of Hayate's fellow guards (and a seemingly good friend) told Himei when she brought lunch to her room one afternoon. She looked wrecked, not that Himei could judge. She hadn't moved from bed of her own free will since...

Since he...

"No one knows where he is," Leona said shakily as she set Himei's tray down on the nightstand. "No one will tell me anything. He was here after Round 6. He was fine."

Maybe someone caught wind of Hayate's bright idea to break Himei out of the competition. Maybe his contact turned on him or had been lying to him all along. Either way, if there had been a chance for Himei to get out of this, it was gone now. She didn't care as much as she should've.

Tallis didn't have an out. Tallis was forced to face the music just like everyone else.

So Himei would face the damn music. There was no hope for them.

No hope for her.

Modern AU Headcanons

For all 7 of my ocs!! :3

all of their ethnicities/nationalities are canon to the ALNST universe too, but theyre just more applicable in a modern au.

The artwork I did for each of them isnt fully colored like how i originally planned, simply because this took FUCKING FOREVER. (17 hours??? all 7 ocs just to this basic color with 17 hours and 25k strokes??? according to procreate???) and i was so ready to be done with it, ive been talking about this for like ages and i knew that if i didnt finish this before Blink Gone dropped,,,, itd never get finished.

i also have other stuff i need/want to work on in regards to my ocs SO. if the art looks half-assed, im calling it a design choice 🎀

Toki (Redone):

He'd be a dancer that runs a choreography channel on youtube and tiktok. A really popular/famous content creator.

He's Asian! (South Korean)

Fluent in English/Korean.

Would probably face a lot of controversy for making strange jokes about cannibalism, but he never stays down when cancelled. (hes so schlatt core)

He's not a horrible person in a modern au. He's relatively normal, if not for the fact that he is still an orphan and still clinically mentally ill. He's just not toxic. He still has his cunt and freak but... he just doesn't manipulate, mansplain, and manslaughter anymore.

He's only toxic and awful as hell in ALNST because of the dystopian circumstances. His toxicity is seasoning to the tragedy that is ALNST.

He is still an orphan and his first memories would be in the orphanage where he was pretty much alone. People thought he was strange.

I'd like to believe he was selectively mute for quite a long time, which was another reason why people called him strange.

Still has the habit of studying peoples behaviors and learning them entirely for his own benefit. He wouldn't use it against someone unless absolutely necessary in a modern au.

He gets adopted when he's 13 by a kind, older man. He homeschools Toki and puts him in sports and recreational activities of his choice.

Toki chooses gymnastics and dance, contorting and moving his body at his will gives him a sense of control that he always felt he was never privileged to.

He didn't start talking until he was 16. His first words were, "Thank you, dad."

As an adult, as I said above, Toki runs a choreo channel on tiktok and youtube that gets a lot of traction. He enjoys having fans because it makes him feel less alone.

He's still possessive over Inna, but it's only because Toki struggles with feeling a sense of belonging and a home to come back to, and Inna becomes that home for him.

He has a streetwear aesthetic!

Of course, Toki still has his obsessive and possessive personality, that will never go away. It ends up rearing his head towards Inna, but I'm pretty sure Inna likes it anyway, the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴.

Didn't go to college because his socmed took off before he graduated, sustaining him really well financially.

Friends with Ichor! Travels to Korea with him sometimes, but usually prefers to stay in America since that's where he was taken to when he was adopted.

Innamorati belongs to @alien-til-i-stage <3

Clove:

He is Latino! (Dominican/Caribbean)

His right eye is a lazy eye and he wears glasses. They're silver round frames that he sometimes puts a neck chain on.

His hair is dyed the same, but the dark brown is really short and cut to be fluffy/messy while keeping his long sides/short bangs!

He has a dark academia aesthetic mixed with a little bit of cottagecore. He's a lot more comfortable in his skin in regards to his gender so he wears skirts and dresses sometimes.

Spends his time at the library a lot, enjoys library dates with Aster (and also coffee shop dates).

He is fluent in Spanish and English.

He only has his ear lobes pierced and keeps small silver studs in them at all times.

Still trans, of course! He gets top surgery and a hysterectomy in a modern au (projecting what I personally want lmao)

All of his siblings are alive, and are still all named after flowers!

His upbringing was really peaceful, if not for having a very alive and loud household with 6 kids, him included.

His parents and siblings are all incredibly accepting and they all helped pitch in to get his top surgery done for his birthday one year <3

He inherited his parents flower shop and runs it now! His parents own the parent company to the flower shop, so all 6 children own one of said shops around the state!

He majored in Biology in college.

A lot of the neglect and trauma he faced in ALNST/ANAKT was only specific to the universe. He would lead a relatively normal and peaceful life, otherwise :)

Aster belongs to @apriciticreveries <3

Horizon:

He is American!

Horizon is incredibly smart and is an astrophysicist! He took it in college and has been hyperfixated on space since he was a kid.

Is the most visibly/recognizably autistic OC out of all of my OCs. All of my OCs are neurodivergent in some way because of my own neurodivergency, but Horizon takes the cake because his modern au mother (based on Scorpius) is also autistic. She raised him to not be forced into a mask.

Scorpius is a single mom and loves space as well, teaching Horizon all about it when he was a kid. Over time she grew more distant and would only connect with her son when its about his interest in space, or in regards to what happens at NASA.

Horizon is aware of his mothers distance and neglect and wishes things could go back to when he was a kid and she wasn't so distant.

He is still a narcolept, but is medicated and in physical therapy to help combat it.

He works at NASA! He makes good money and has discovered a lot of new stars!

He's more vocal in a modern au! He'd still go nonverbal a lot, but he'd also open up more and be less distant.

He still yaps about stars and space as much as possible.

He does not have stars in his eyes. I kinda feel like that goes without saying, but he does have dark grey-blue eyes.

Fond of Seraph and likes to study it. Fully aware something is wrong with it and that it definitely does not belong in his world, but finds it intriguing all the same.

Does not have a set dress style, he mostly dresses for comfort. He does have a lot of NASA merchandise and space/galaxy themed clothing, though. (would 100% have that blue and pink galaxy wolf hoodie at one point)

Seraph:

Still not human, and I will not elaborate as to why!

Also still uses He/Hy/It (Hy/Hymn).

It's a lot creepier in a modern au, actually. This is because the dystopian setting of ALNST makes it a bit more... usual and acceptable for Seraph to be uncanny? However, in a modern au... that's not the case.

People do NOT vibe with it more often than not.

Hy is British.

He is still albino with void-like eyes.

It majors in psychology and went to the same college as Horizon. This is related to his special talent,,, but that isn't released yet. :)

Still horribly enamored with Horizon and follows him around and studies him.

Horizon doesn't mind hymn and honestly knows somethings not right with Seraph, but he doesn't really care and actually likes to study Seraph back. (and seraph couldnt be happier about it, tbh)

Not a lot changes about Seraph, in all honesty. Hy doesn't really belong in the ALNST universe, what makes you think hy'd belong in the modern universe?

The things that do change, like it's echoing voice and it's staticky/distorted laugh, are gone because it personally stopped using them.

It's style is... elegant goth with some... cyber goth? Kinda strange and hard to describe but he does understand the morals and values of goth culture and music and upholds those values.

Lowkey an anarchist but you didn't hear that from me.

He is Horizon's roommate.

Seraph likes to believe their mutual studying of each other is what a romantic relationship entails.

Horizon spoils Seraph a lot... he has to do something with the money he gets from NASA.

He still does not like animals or Ichor.

Ichor:

He is still a catboy. He's not even like... a kemonomimi. He's just a fucking catboy.

If not an actual catboy, he would be a therian and/or kemonomimi. (kemonomimi directly translates to animal ears i believe? kemonomimis are just people who enjoy wearing animal ears/tails.)

He is also Asian! (South Korean)

Has a lot of mixed aesthetics, but enjoys crossdressing (in a cute way) and ouji fashion/lolita.

Autistic with selective mutism and is nonverbal more often than not. He is fluent in both ASL and KSL as well as spoken English/Korean. This is canon to the ALNST universe, but he is fully mute in canon.

Would probably be a professional gymnast. I'm talking like Olympics... professional.

Takes the fame from being a professional gymnast and becomes a content creator to show off his impeccable fashion sense.

100% dating and smitten with Briar. I'm assuming Briar would be a doctor in a modern au (akane, you can correct me if I'm wrong), and if that's the case, then Ichor would make a bunch of "woe is me, I need a doctor" jokes to Briar.

He'd immediately go to Briar if he gets hurt during performances.

Would actually be friends with Toki!! Both as a content creator and as a gymnast. They would get along very well due to overlapping interests, even more so when Ichor learns that Toki was mute for a long time.

Sometimes takes up gigs/jobs as a Sign Translator for both KSL and ASL.

Recognized as a Fashion Idol in Korea.

Frequently travels back and forth between South Korea and America due to this. ^ (his boyfriend misses him...)

Also did not go to college! He went straight into professional gymnastics and makes a living off of it! If he could go back to school, though, he would want to study the arts!

All of his hair is naturally white! He was based off of a white Turkish Angora cat, and since his hair was dyed against his will in ALNST, that wouldn't be the case in the MAU. He's only pink in his art because that's his color <3

Briar belongs to @aakaneeee <3

Lys:

She is Creole and born and raised in Louisiana!

Fluent in both Cajun French and normal French. She was a French immersion kid! (as in she learned french as she learned english in school growing up)

An amazing cook and loves to cook for her family and friends.

Has a brother and a sister, but she is the oldest. She loves her family and is very protective over them, same with her friends.

A big party-goer and social butterfly, she is the life and light of the party. She stays humble about it, but she can't deny how nice it makes her feel that people like her so much.

Dominates karaoke like it's no ones business. She loves singing and was in the church choir growing up.

She grew up Catholic, but is currently Agnostic.

Still a lesbian, and is very open about it. She is a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and goes to as many Pride Parades as possible during pride month.

LOVES HER GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!! EVEREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her favorite way to wear her hair is super long box braids with bright colored weave, usually orange or red, but she's done the whole rainbow before!

Majors in cosmetology!

Wants to be a fashion designer, and is also building a socmed presence!! Her childhood dream was to work at Hollywood as a SFX/Makeup artist! (She still kinda does, but is okay with working for any movie company, honestly)

Has a streetwear and Y2K aesthetic! She likes to explore a bunch of other fashion cultures, but normally ends up falling back to those two as a base/familiar ground.

Is really good friends with Clove! She knows him through Everest, who had befriended him in overlapping college courses. Clove approached Everest and became friends with him before she introduced Clove to Lys. They all like to hang out together :]

Everest:

She is Australiannnnn!!!!

Still albino!

She does have the sensitive skin and eyesight in the modern world, though. She is not genetically modified, therefore she has really powerful glasses and is covered a lot.

Wears a lot of loose flowy clothing and big sunhats to protect himself from the sun.

Also still intersex!

Still feels 60% femme and 40% masc with very little in between. Doesn't mind being referred to as androgyne, but prefers either or, rather than in between.

She is sapphic and horribly in love with her girlfriend, Lys.

Is a lot less morally grey in a modern au and is a lot more like Luna Lovegood, one of her inspirations.

His morality in ALNST comes from the dystopian setting, being used as a toy for the segyein after winning, and being a pet in general. Since that doesn't happen in the modern day, he doesn't have that trauma to influence him.

She takes second place on most visibly autistic. (Ichor takes third)

Majored in Chemistry and wants to be a chemist.

Has overlapping classes with Clove and is friends with him!

Comes from a pretty wealthy family and was raised prim and proper. Her parents believed she'd be better off presenting as a boy, but once she realized her autonomy, she refused it entirely and told her parents that she will live how she wants and that her body is hers to dictate.

Her parents don't like that she switches back and forth between masc and femme, but she could not give less of a fuck and honestly does it a little bit out of spite.

He still loves his parents... kinda. He has the mentality of "they gave me life and raised me, I should be grateful andlove them all the same." He just wishes they weren't so bitchy over his body and what he does with it. They can't say anything either considering he plans on being a chemist, and they're both very fond of the idea that their child is smart and will bring in more money.

They're also lowkey homophobic and only give Lys a pass because they see Everest as a boy more often than not. They still don't quite like Lys because she is a full lesbian/sapphic and sees Ever as femme.

Enjoys travelling a lot!!

Has a socmed presence through Lys and appears as a duo with her a lot. People love them together and give them a lot of the stereo contrasting ship types (fire/ice, blue/red, black/white, etc)

It not famous on her own! I don't think she would actively seek out a socmed presence of her own and would be content with being featured on Lys' socmed. He was only famous in ALNST for winning s36, he did not ask for that.

thats about it!! sorry its so long, but... i love my children... so...

anyways, taglist!! no pressure to respond <3 @rockwgooglyeyes @bluemoonscape @tsukacchako @starry-skiez @junebluues @yunoftheclouds @waterydream @pwippy @ivanttakethis @nottoonedin

Round 7 - Tallis

Music had always really been the only thing holding Tallis together.

It made up every aspect of his life. Even his friendships were born from music. It was his passion.

When he was a child with a guardian who screamed and made his ears hurt when he made a mess or fiddled with something she didn't want him to, he retreated into lonely silence, curled up in his crate, massaging the soft places on the side of his neck where he imagined his ear canals ran down in the winding thicket of muscle tissue, veins, and tendons.

Introducing instruments to Tallis's life was the one good thing Guardian Kele had ever done for him. He wasn't stupid. He knew they were only there to occupy him, to make him do something useful, but the distraction was all too welcome to turn down out of stubborn disdain. The sounds he could produce from his instruments were different than the raised, screeching voice of his guardian. They didn't make his ears or head hurt. They didn't make him want to crawl right out of his skin, or tear his own eardrums out so that all he could feel was the soothingly warm, sticky slide of blood from his ears. They made pretty sounds. He pressed their keys and pedals, plucked their strings, and they thanked him with a melody.

He often thought that music saved him, because if it weren't for music, he would've never been sent to Anakt Garden, never would've escaped that lonely house or met Himei. Music saved him from a life of meaningless solitude.

Ironic, was the last coherent thought he managed on stage. Ironic how it's going to kill me.

He couldn't pinpoint where the bullet entered when the music stopped, or where the second did. All he knew with any certainty was that he had been right. He knew he was fucked from the first.

White hot pain kicked in after the initial shocked jolt of his body. His entire torso screamed with it, and there was blood soaking through his shirt, soothing, warm. He must've dropped the mic on his foot because it smarted too, in that superficial way you think things hurt until you feel something like this.

His limbs were loaded with lead. He was suddenly so tired. But he didn't want to sleep. If he was terrified before, he was in a state of cold panic now.

I love you, Himei had told him the night before, crying into a kiss that couldn't be anything close to romantic with all the fear they poured into each other. I love you, Tov had told him backstage, clinging to him like he was already slipping away, and to her credit, he was. He'd been silent for a few seconds before he managed to croak it back to her: I love you too.

No matter how hard he tried to stay standing, it was no use. He sank to his knees, and the only reason he didn't faceplant altogether was because there was something there to lean his head against. It was no use wondering if it was real or a figment of his imagination.

His vision blurred. Someone might've said something to him, but he didn't know what. Everything was going white.

"Sorry," he slurred into the immovable object, not to it, but to Himei. And Tov. And Flor, and Nyx, and Lang, and Sai, and Khoi, oh, I would've loved to sing with you, he thought deliriously. He thought of everyone he never knew needed him and came to the sickening realization that they did.

But he couldn't hold onto that thread of thought for very long. It faded right alongside the rest of it. Some familiar melody lulled his mind.

He went still where he slumped against Daiki.

(I'm sobbing ANYWAY Tov belongs to @ivanttakethis, Daiki belongs to @daiki1k, Flor belongs to @sotogalmo, Nyx belongs to @rockwgooglyeyes, and Sai and Khoi belong to @bittersweet-adagio. Should be noted that Tallis was close with Stasya, but since Stasya has already passed, Tallis doesn't feel guilty for leaving him. EDIT: I FORGOT TO ADD LANG AND TALLIS LOVES LANG SO HAVE A @its-langgg LANG)
