Non Player Characters.

In our recent blog post Banishing The Body Snatchers, we put forth the premise that a body without a soul could be compared to a vacant house on the Real Estate Market. “Lights are on, but nobody’s home” would be another way of explaining the concept. And we supposed that just as a house can exist but not be a home, a body can be animated by the collective consciousness without having a soul.…

I’ve had to miss a lot of work this week bc of the loss of two family pets if anyone wants to spot me a few bucks so I can know I’ll actually make ends meet that would be awesome. I’m picking up an extra shift monday nov 25th but there’s no more room elsewhere for me to squeeze in more hours

EDIT:

I received my paycheck and it won’t be enough to cover my expenses because I had to buy new work pants & don’t have enough to cover groceries because my food stamps have been cut. I’m currently supporting 3 people on my food stamps because no one else in my household qualifies but our budget is too tight to buy groceries without the help.

On top of that, I need new tires and new windshield wipers for my car, kitty litter, braces for my joint pain, and I need to get in to see a doctor for said joint pain as well which I’m expecting to be extremely costly like the initial visit for diagnosis. I was hoping to not have to ebeg for 100s of dollars but I applied for a credit card and was denied, and my score is too low to apply for another one right away. I don’t know what else to do. Please help me out.

So basically:

Chaos (I bet it was Tzeentch) yeeting baby Primarchs all over the galaxy at random, picked up by the scruff Angron, Curze and Mortarion and for some reason went "hahaha, fuck you three in particular"

[angelsdean]

the way that nick spell in 14x17 makes it canonically SO easy to open a portal to the empty. it drives me insane. dean literally HAD cas's blood. on his jacket. it was all right there. it was set up perfectly. why show us nick opening a portal to the empty and specifically showing that the main ingredient was BLOOD then. not using that. dean was meant to rescue cas!!!!! full circle moment. i'm the one who gripped you tight a raised you from perdition. what's the matter, cas? you don't think you deserve to be saved? i love you, too. of course i love you. SMOOCH. anyways.

I am begging you to tell me more (whenever ur feeling up to it). I will offer you my bones and third born in exchange.

Keep your bones and children, I need no payment to yap about AU ideas!

Okay so the original AU is called 'Empty Vessel AU', trigger warning for suicidal ideation as part of the premise.

The base idea is that Phil does not stay on the server.

After killing Wilbur, Phil - caught in grief and hurt - takes off basically just as quickly as he arrived. Maybe he doesn't even realize Techno is there too, or maybe he's too caught up in it all to really mind. Phil fully leaves the server. This means Techno does not have Phil's support in the initial fallout of November 16th, which is a negative for his mental health (think the angst arc ccTechno wanted for his character before ccPhil ruined it by being like "hi m8, let's build a house :D" /lh).

Techno does not build the cabins in the Arctic, his base is more like a ravine/hole somewhere. He's miserable, but he stays trucking. At least until the Butcher Army happens - because it still does happen in this AU, just slightly differently than in canon since Phil isn't around. When returning to his 'base', Techno also doesn't find Tommy living there (because Tommy in this AU did not stumble upon Techno when he ran away from exile, since the cabins don't exist).

Now, Techno is the Blood God's conduit, as well all know. The Blood God is basically parasitic in nature, latching onto a mortal to serve as its conduit until they die and it must find a new vessel. The Blood God can control its conduit's body only with consent.

Techno, who is not doing too well mentally after everything that's happened, being treated as a disposable weapon or active threat by everybody, having no friends and only Chat around, etc, decides he doesn't care anymore. He'd do anything to just... not have to think for a bit. Not have to deal with all that's happened. So if the Blood God wants to use its vessel, it can.

Techno 'dies' in a sense.

More accurately, his consciousness goes into a sort of coma - completely senseless and all - while the body is left behind as an empty vessel the Blood God can puppeteer around. This is Not Good because a mortal body is not meant to contain a god so there are some negative effects. Including that the Blood God does not experience hunger, exhaustion, or pain, and it damages Techno's body by being in it. It's a ticking time bomb situation. If it stays inside Techno for long enough, Techno's body will also die.

Also, other people have to deal with an eldritch god so that's fun kekw. The Blood God is a bit of weirdo, but it does latch onto people around it as long as they promise to let it shed blood for them.

The original version of the AU was rivalsduo-centric as mentioned. Dream would have been the first person who ran into 'Techno' and clocked pretty quickly what's going on (it's not exactly subtle) and initially he thinks it's something he can exploit maybe, but then over time he realizes how dire it is and he does care enough about Techno to try and undo what's been done.

Now I'm just thinking of an alternative where it's Tubbo or Quackity (or both?) who encounter the vessel first and have to deal with that whole thing. Would they also be happy at first? Disturbed? Would they feel guilty or nah? And ofc how different it would be for them to try and get Techno back. Throw in other L'manburg members maybe and Tommy? I can assume stuff like the Green Festival would also go very differently in these circumstances.

An empty vessel.

OOAK necklace ft. an antique tin pitcher, baroque pearls, & vintage chain.

NFS. Personal piece.

I found this tiny pitcher at Root’s flea market a few years ago. It was damaged, but I didn’t see the hole as an issue. It made for the perfect pendant & was only $1.

If I’m being real, it sat for a while. The idea for this necklace was immediate, but the execution was much slower. It’s funny how that happens. When I have an immediate fully-formed idea, I tend to push it to the back burner. I tell myself that there are other, more pressing & unformed ideas, that need my focus. Super inefficient process tbh.

Autumn is the time for reflection, & I guess this is that.
