Hello hello! I read your tidbits for plant ww au and if you don't mind me asking, how come ww is no longer able to verbally communicate? Did dying and reviving take away some of his physical capabilities? Or is that simply a consequence of becoming half plant? 🤔 ww being alive is all that matters but I'm so curious!
hello!! at the time, i think i made it that way because of him becoming half plant-ish? admittedly, i didn’t give the logistics too much thought but he doesn’t make a lot of sounds and doesn’t speak, like dependent plants. it Probably means that something physically has been affected, but i haven’t researched enough into what i want that to be :’] i also think since he woke up again, he hasn’t felt the particular urge to communicate verbally/found viable enough solutions to make do. he isn’t able to communicate with plants either in the shared consciousness way.
if i go deeper into this au, i might change more things around… i’ve already started adjusting what capabilities he should have as being a revived guy from a little less than half of vash’s power + love. ashamed to say i haven’t given too much thought into plants hcs and full capabilities either!! i always forget what they’re capable of in canon ;;
anyway, i hope that answers it!! and here’s some doodles i drew while thinking of how to answer this question!
a small comic - he has plenty of little feathers so i went and made use of them
#asks#thanks for sending this!!#and im sorry youre potentially seeing this in your notifs like Weeks later 😭😭#it took me way too long to respond to this orz but ya!!#from a design point#dependent plants aren’t very diffo from humans in the first place#and ig by canon info of humans having made them it ofc makes sense…#which is why im still like (???) about what would be different#i guess the experience does most of the changing for him

#14 for zihao pls!
14. the timeline in which they took a chance they didn’t in canon !
zihao’s senior year was only somewhat eventful, in the sense that he was crafting out his coming of age - esque escape and just overall absorbed by his plans to get up n out of town forever … it was one of his quiet years bc he was obsessively researching n preparing for his move ( he’s not v booksmart but those few brain cells he has worked overtime out of desperation ig … ), while everyone else worried abt college, finding jobs after graduation, etc. he readily admitted by the time that he was 17 that he didn’t want to go to college and would just say that he planned to find a job n work his way up, possibly open up a sporting goods store down the road ( which he still wants to do one day but also doesn’t want to deal w/ the legalities of it all … plus it would hurt to ditch it … for once something having an effect on him … people ). buuut ofc, a few of his friends would bitch n whine abt the college process constantly and zihao would just. yawn. “how bad can it really be?” them bc he used to be an even bigger ass than he is now. so he decides to apply for some state school up in idaho, of all places, just for shits and giggles. ( which is what he would say if anyone asked.. aka he kept it to himself and didn’t tell anyone so was it really for shits and giggles? would he rlly not have taken the opportunity to garner some attention if that were the case??? who knows w/ this idiot ) finishes his app all in one day, makes 234823 different mistakes filling out his basic info because he refuses to ask for help or talk to his dad about it, and his essays are full of basic spelling errors but apparently it had enough heart to get him accepted SDFKJDJF. ofc he didn’t actually consider it for a second and immediately sent the email to the junk folder of his yahoo account, but in a world where he would have taken it and moved on over there, he would have absolutely detested it. he hates academia, hates being in one place for that long, BUUUUT would have loved the college parties. basically would become another victim of the party lifestyle while living on academic probation, eventually venturing out into parties within the college town, and graduated from college partying to adult partying. the difference is that there would have been people who wanted to help him before he spiraled into the pre - existential crisis zihao who was the second worst human being to be around ( second to post - existential crisis and pre - sobering up zihao ), and i feel like he would have briefly considered … not going down that road, but when zihao has his mind made up he has made it up .. so he would have up and left anyway, whether it be freshman or sophomore year. genuinely don’t think he would have made it to finishing his b.a. but maybe he’d surprise me, depending on the people he met and if he felt a pull to them ... which is unlikely since in all of his verses, he maxes out at about 1.4 people he can’t shake SDKJFJD. anyway, he’d also have a “home base” of sorts, making the college town his home since in his main verse he doesn’t have one, and that would change a lot for him since he’s just so anti homes and anti attachment to spaces. would visit his college friends there from time to time, even if it was only every few years. i don’t think going to college would change him too much as a person or affect the journey that he’s been in a super drastic way, but it’d definitely help mellow him out and he just wouldn’t be as bad of a case as he turned into by going on said journey straight out of high school. it wouldn’t be life - altering differences but more like an extra bit of development for him so he could be less of a shit human being, and maybe even put an end to his … borderline terrible lifestyle a little earlier. would probably also know how to do basic math.
