#griefer AU

[artisticprocrastionator]

Ok, I was still thinking about the Venus fly Trap and Griefer post I made on community tab a few days ago and I was like “What if I made an AU/SAGA about that???”

So I made an AU! Everything is not official! Still working things out so expect things to change but for right now I’m calling it the INSECT AU (TRAPPED SAGA) (ik- he’s not an insect but I think he can provide contrast), and it involves Griefer! However, I did wanna give him a different name for this AU but I couldn’t find any good names so he’s still called Griefer/Brad in this AU. If you guys have any suggestions then let me know!

Very poor grammar (sorry my writing skills kinda suck but bare with me-)

Sooo what’s it about??

Basically this SAGA is about Griefer being eaten alive by a Venus fly trap (but rescued) and inheriting DNA and traits of a Venus Fly Trap. The SAGA follows how Griefer lives with his new form and learns to embrace it.

Sooo how did this happen??? (Story time!)

PART 1: PROLOGUE.

In Turitopulis, the Vemonshank is guarded by the Poisonfang tribe (the Toxic enemies of the game) as they were the only tribe who knew how to weld the power of the Venomshank (other than Shedletsky and Builderman). The sword was given to them by Shedletsky and Builderman as they wanted to separate the power of the swords and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands thus giving it to the Poisonfang tribe who were elite fighters that harness acidic poison, from Venus fly traps, to use in battle. Most of the Poisonfang tribe were part Venus Fly Trap due to their contact with the carnivores plant and seeing the benefits of harnessing the abilities of the plant once they merge their bodies with the Venus fly trap (it is a ritual they do to conform their members).

Mayor Thaniyel was an explorer of the rainforest in Turitopulis that collected exotic plants and goods to sell at his plant and tea shop. However, Mayor Thaniyel got lost one day on a trip in the rainforest due to a huge storm. The tribe found him and care for him until help arrived. This would start Mayor Thaniyel’s relationship with the tribe and overtime form a strong relationship with them, both each other doing favors that benefitted one another.

Later down the line, this would allow Builderman and Shedletsky to consider Thaniyel and officially make him the Mayor of Turitopulis.

The tribe lets Mayor Thaniyel know the location of the Venomshank and becomes a guardian of the sword alongside with the tribe.

Then Mayor Thaniyel has his son, Brad, who was celebrated by the town and the tribe. Brad would grow up close with the tribe and learn their techniques and combat. He would also grow his love for plants and often helps at his father’s shop. As the years go by, Thaniyel starts to age and he began a to consider passing the responsibility onto Brad to guard the Venomshank. However, Brad goes through a rebellious stage where he constantly caused havoc in Turitopulis as well the tribe now. The tribe doesn’t want Brad to be the next holder which conflicts Mayor Thaniyel of handing off the sword. He plans to wait until Brad is ready and more mature.

From Brad’s POV, he always saw his father as overbearing and felt as though he could never be his own person due to how much influence his dad had on his life. Though Brad has some contacts in the tribe, his father never let him get too close to the tribe and Brad always felt something was being kept from him. One day, Brad overhears that he may be the next guardian of the Venomshank. The thought of having that type of power fueled Brad and was waiting for his time. Brad although sheltered heavily by his father was gifted with a well amount of wealth that made him spoiled. Brad was thinking his dad was just gonna hand him the sword to which he finds out that his dad plans to not give it to him for a good bit. Frustrated, from not being able to get the sword as well feeling resentment of his father pushing him around all the time, starts his rebellious stage which he caused havoc and potential harm to the people in town and the tribe. This would especially caused a strain in the relationship between Brad and Mayor Thaniyel.

PART 2: TRAPPED.

One day, Mayor Thaniyel decides to confront Brad about his behavior and officially announce that Brad would not be the guardian of the Venomshank. He concluded that his son would not be a good fit. Brad obliviously starts a huge argument with his dad that strained the relationship further. Both unhappy.

Brad is upset and decides to prove his dad wrong by attempting to hold the Venomshank. The Venomshank can only be held by the elder tribe members, Shedlesky and Builderman, and Mayor Thaniyel. After a few days of investigation, Brad figures out the place of the Venomshank and sets out on a journey to retrieve it (which resides in the rainforest far from Turitopulis).

Brad finds the sword anchored to a rock. Brad attempts to pull it out before something incases him. It turns out the Venomshank was set right on top of a Venus fly trap the Poisonfang tribe placed to prevent anyone from getting the sword. Mayor Thaniyel knew as well but Brad didn’t. The hairs of the trap trigger the plant and encases Brad in complete darkness which the sides slowly closing in on him. The small trigger hairs act like little knifes that stabbed Brad and inches deeper into his skin as the walls close in, causing a limited amount of air to breath as well space to move. Brad was able to make a small air pocket in the space to breathe but it wasn’t going to last long as the walls slowly close that gap. He also had some supplies with him but it wouldn’t be long before his stuff would run out. After a day or so, acid slowly starts to pours into the pouch that begins to burn Brad’s skin.

Brad attempts to escapes but fails. He nudges, he fails. He kicks, he fails. Brad tries to use his knife he brought to cut the plants interior, but fails. Nothing works, and Brad is terrified. Alone as he feels he’s skin melting into the acid as it climbs closer to his face with no where to go. Brad waits for his fate, wishing he could rewrite it especially to fix his relationship with his dad. Brad knew that chance would never come nor would he would ever see him again. Just complete darkness and the burning, bubbling, putrid stench of the acid inching even closer to his face.

During this time, Mayor Thaniyel notices Brad’s disappearance and becomes worry. After doing some work, he finds out what Brad sought out to do. Terrified, Mayor Thaniyel and some of the Poisonfang members travel the rainforest terrian to the Venomshank’s residing place. Once they make it, they see the horror of the situation. A huge Venus fly trap encased around something familiar large. Quickly, Mayor Thaniyel, along with the tribe members, work together to open the trap and pull Brad out. Brad at this point was unconscious and barely breathing.

Brad was in the plant for 3 days. Miraculously, his body was still intact but with severed burn marks on 70% of his body (from legs to chest). Brad was a very large prey for the plant, which in real life for Venus fly traps takes longer to digest their food of larger prey. Usually it takes them 7-10 days, which made the plant take longer to digest him. If Brad was in there another day, he would have died.

It was one of the worst things Mayor Thaniyel has ever seen in his life.

…

…

…

Brad is sent to the hospital for his wounds. The tribe also helps out by providing medicine that cures Venus fly traps acid burns. Brad is out for weeks before he wakes up from his coma. Bedridden and in severely in pain, but was breathing. He was alive…How..?

Brad slowly turns to his left where he sees his father sleeping next to the bed in a chair. Griefer gently wakes up his dad waking his up and quickly turning towards Brad with noticeable baggy eyes. Thaniyel seemed to murmured smt before he hugged Brad sending Mayor Thaniyel into hysterical sobbing as he embraces his son. Brad also finds himself sobbing in his arms. He was alive.

PART 3: REHABILITATION. (Short section)

Brad stays in the hospital for a few months. During this time, Brad is forced to reckon with his new body and weird changes. Mayor Thaniyel tells Brad of these changes now being part Venus Fly Trap. Mayor Thaniyel helps Brad to adjust to his body allowing them to make amends and reconcile their relationship.

Brad suffers from claustrophobia which resulted from the traumatic experience of the incident. He also became insecure of his body due to the amount of burns and cuts on his body. His designs covers most of it.

However, after self reflecting and doing well on his rehabilitation, Brad slowly finds himself again but this time a better version of himself. Brad decides to call himself Griefer and embraces the Venus fly trap design into his clothing as well finding appreciation in Venus fly traps (even tho one tried to eat him). Griefer actually owns a Venus fly trap named Chompers. Brad although seemingly intimidated is more soft than he was before especially for his dad. However, he still maintains his cocky and confident persona for those to see.

Griefer becomes closer to the tribe as they teach him how to manage his new form. They actually give Griefer another chance and after extensive training, they reconsider Griefer as being the next guardian of the Venomshank. Griefer is given a warrior rank among the Poisonfang tribe.

Now Griefer works as a warrior and protector for the tribe, protecting them from bandits and creatures that may harm them and their trades with Turitopulis. Griefer built a reputation with the bad guys for being overly annoying and constantly griefing their stuff of spray painted signatures from him. You can probably say Griefer is a Vigilante in Turitopulis.

That’s it! If you read through all of this then good for you! I plan to expand more on this universe and definitely make more content on this. Again, everything is still a work in progress so if change are made I’ll let you know. Here are some extra doodles for reading all that!

this has such a long explanation behind why i drew this im not even gonna explain it anymore

[niko-aspin]

• surprise!

*disappears*

Ghost of the Future AU is real suckeers /lh

anyways this au is basically Builderman from the Future(that the Player went in time from, who's dead and yadayada everything went to hell) who also got yoinked back in time.

he can't rlly do much so he ends up just... watching the lives of other people when he was kidnapped the whole time. turns out the SFOTH Swords can make the Wielders see him because of weird time prophecy thing. Player gets jumpscared when they get the Ice Dragger and promptly had a panic attack.

yeah Cruel King saw BM and just. accepted that he's insane now. something something he says "i'll be with you soon" to BM and promptly fucking dies. Player has no idea till they turn around and boom!!

BM doesn't blame the Player for his death. or anyone, really. sure they failed to save him but... would he have been able to be saved anyways? he was already so close. would it have mattered?

please ask me about him i am BEGGING you

blocktales apocalypse au im working on, heres some designs so far

lore as of right now:

the concept behind the apocalypse is not a basic zombie blah blah one, basically the voices arent just affecting the sword holders but random citizens as well, leading to ppl growing violent and losing their sense of self, some ppl get affected slower than others yadda yadda, this leads to tons of bloodshed and violence because those who r "too far gone" essentially become like animals

[fandoms-in-jellyfish-brain]

What if instead of Blocktales: Swords of Time, it was called Lovetales: Swords of Affection and instead of you (the player) casually battling the enemies, you have to resist in becoming too flustered/embarrassed due to the enemy's tactics

(Yes, this is entirely based on @niko-aspin love au kinda thing 😔🙏)

Like the enemy would still attack you yeah, and you'll have to attack them too, but in between it would be like a time event where you need to resist the enemy's compliments/flirts/gestures and if you don't, you deal A LOT of damage (Because of internal embarrassment)

Like, imagine Soft King (Cruel King) just randomly drop the MOST JAW-DROPPING, POETIC COMPLIMENT ON YOU IN BATTLE EVEN THOUGH THE VOICES WON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE

And The Lover (The Griefer)? NAHH DON'T GET ME STARTEEDDD, HIS FLIRTS OR WHATEVER WOULD BE HORRENDOUSLY CRINGEY AUGHHH, AND NOT EVEN IN THE GOOD WAY, BUT IT STILL MANAGES TO MAKE YOU TAKE DAMAGE??? WHAT.

BUT THERE'S A CATCH, instead of the bosses dying or whatever, THEY GET TO JOIN YOU IN YOUR PARTYY!!! Like, imagine Cruel King using his Ice Dagger to heal you, The Griefer using his Venomshank to poison the enemiesss, all with like short dialogues too

AND AND ANDDD, the smaller enemies and all won't die, but they'll just get too frustrated/dizzy and collapse

Of course, not all enemies will have like a romantic kinda way of complimenting you, it could just be genuine and platonic ones 😼

Lots of WB doodles

And oh, I wish I could hold you in my arms || but lately my body has been so afraid

A comic for @cometquest's blocktales apocalypse au! Can be interpreted either romantic or platonic. I kind of made my own story here, but you should definitely go check the au out!! His character designs are sick as hell and I've been a bit insane about them lately 🙏🙏!

Text reads: And if I knew you a little less, and my soul held a little less pride, I'd ask for you to stay safe by my side. But in my heart, I have long known what your answer would be.

Some extras below the readmore! Fair warning it's quite long

The comic without leetspeak!

In honour of the most recent lore post

Banner says: and me I feel also not so good Griefer's saying: Dude this yogurt fucking sucks

And my original tags condensed into incomprehensible paragraphs because there was not enough space to fit all of them underneath. Dear lord.

Genuinely I keep thinking about them oh my lord. The way in a normal world they would have never met. Wouldn't have even known eachother existed except in passing and rumors. Yet in this world where everything is falling apart Griefer and Jim are the only lifelines in their towns, do they meet even if its in voicechat. The only way Roadtown can talk to Turitopulis. And if Red lives in somewhere other than Roadtown or Blackrock, then Jim is quite literally the only way Brad can get updates on his father.

So they start talking and planning and communicating. And they communicate and they learn about eachother and they start talking more than strictly necessary and days or months or maybe years later, Griefer suddenly realizes that he's looking forward to his next conversation with Jim. He likes talking to him. He finds comfort with him. He cares a lot for Jim. A lot. Like a bird trying to rip out of his chest. Over the voice on his headphones who hes never seen before.

And if he knew Jim a little less well. If he maybe he were willing to beg a little more. He might've asked Jim to go and live in blackrock like his dad, or even go to Turitopulis to stay with him. But he knows who Jim is, and he knows who he is, and if someone had ever asked him to leave Turitopulis he would've socked them in the face. And even though he's calmer and more mellower than him, Griefer knows Jim would never think about leaving Roadtown for it to defend itself. And nobodys really manning the planes except for Jerry nowdays. So he never bothers asking.

But like a riving pounding against stone, the voices know they can't last forever and one day, maybe the voices finally got to him or maybe it was an act of self sacrifice, but Jim blows himself up. And all of the sudden Brad is left with headphones that emit static, no contact to Roadtown, and a sinking pit in his stomach. Do you see my vision here. Gripping myself.
