Sols.. nine of them

[uselessalexis165]

so guess what i started looking into

[labbug14]

[gensational]

so. saw people kinda interested in my yi main antag AU. Here's a sketch page to try and capture more of my ideas.

so.!! corruption of the innovator. what is it? It's an AU with a select amount of differing circumstances that lead to what's ultimately a YI/Eigong roleswap. With Goumang tagging along out of pure spite and hatred/ wanting her mentor to approve of her after all this time.

i gently offer a portrait of this absolutely irredeemable trash heap, and a bit more of a blurb. Things start out relatively similar, save for one scene. And that's Yi and Heng's falling out. Heng does what most people I know in that situation would do. And that's cut Yi off entirely after making sure he really just gave her an ultimatum. Unfortunately, solidifying it in Yi's mind that every lunatic wanting to stay on Penglai is beyond saving. Including his own blood. They're all delusional, and he's not. They're the ones at fault. Eigong trusts Yi enough in this AU to give him the truth of what really happened. How could she lie to her favourite student, after all this? Some time into the success of New Kunlun's projects, Eigong of course, synthesizes what was meant to be a cure prototype. Though the results are obvious enough from the get go. Creating Solarian mutants that are unkillable. And lack any conscience in their indiscriminate violence. Eigong desperately wants to help them. However her prized pupil no longer sees them as solarians. They're just mindless beasts transformed beyond recognition by the tianhuo. Just like the apemen were made use of for his eternal cauldron, so too. Could these mutants be used to their benefit. And as such, experimenting with forbidden technologies he's not so aversed to, Yi manages to create a means to control the mutants. To which.. Eigong is absolutely horrified by the notion. They were her patients, if anything. And now Yi wants to control and use them for his own ends. Driven mad in his pursuits of greatness. Driven mad in his pursuits to prove everyone, especially his sister, wrong.

With Eigong's protests, it's...A matter of hostile takeover. To which the other sols simply relent. Leaving Eigong battered and broken, but still alive. as she hides within her own vital sanctum to recover. uh yeah i hate him so much :) god complex freak with meemaw as the protag

A loose thought in my head about our dear, sweet Lady Ethereal. Spoilers for Nine Sols ahead!

Okay. So. Eigong was definitely the one who did this, right?

If any of the Dusk Guardians could tell that Lady Ethereal had life support unhooked from her Vital Sanctum, at the very least they'd hook it back in, right? Bar that, they'd find a way to wake her up, right?? They'd have no reason to stick her in a jar, they're just here to work until they're discharged. So it wasn't them.

None of the other sols had reason to do it.

Goumang had complicated plans to make her greenhouse adhere to, and while she knew that solarian brains could be used for the neural network, she didn't seem interested doing so.

I'd wager Yanlao has exactly zero knowledge about anatomy and biology, he was too busy kissing up to the rich.

Jiequan wouldn't have done it unless there was transmutational value in it, and though he probably would've found Lady E's suffering interesting, he probably wouldn't have gone with the jarred brain method.

Fuxi was dealing with Tianhuo, and Nuwa's a rich, traumatized brat who's more worried about her brother than anyone else.

Kuafu just straight up wouldn't do something like that.

Yi was dead!

In the final boss battle, Eigong has this to say to Yi.

And...

She tried to trap Yi in her Soulscape. She was expecting it to last longer. She knew how to make her Soulscape something other than pleasant dreams and a gallery of memories.

I'm not saying this is concrete evidence. But it's something.

But why would she do that? Why would Eigong subject Lady Ethereal to an utter loss of autonomy and 500 years of horrifying nightmares? The whole thing's excessively cruel, even for her.

Maybe Lady Ethereal discovered something.

My thought is that Lady Ethereal caught a glimpse of the truth, and it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only were her colleagues and her beloved daughter dead, the system they died for was going to be used by the person that created the Tianhuo, that doomed solarian-kind.

So right before she put herself in her Vital Sanctum minus the life support, she sabotaged the Soulscape system, planning to die with its secrets.

But Eigong found her. Pried open her mind to find out how to fix it, and then made her a part of her life's work.

Made sure she didn't die, for good measure.

I think her will might be our truth

Now I have a hyperpop Eigong to add to the collection!

(I might have a fun project in the works)

This isn't specifically about boss fight or backstory: this is just who your favourite is. Yi not included for obvious reasons.

[cinnaputtymon]

i read about this litter box situation while fighting the last boss in Nine Sols, i hate her
