[bright-eyed-dizzy]

my HC of benrey’s progression of getting Scarier and Bigger as the series goes on! he gains his power by feeding on the science team’s (mostly gordon’s) fear, confusion and misery

infodump under the cut!!

benrey feeds off of others frustration and confusion but generally people at black mesa are too preoccupied with science shit to even pay attention to him. it understandably pisses him off, leaving him hungry and lonely, the only person that really paid attention to him before the science gang got together was tommy, they’re besties, and because they’re bros and are used to eachother’s bullshit (and tommys whole vibe in general) tommy also doesn’t react much to benreys weird fuckin attitude. this also leaves benrey in a more weakened state which is why he stays around black mesa posing as a guard. he had stayed at black mesa without any stimulation or sustenance that he had been stooped down to the ranks of a lonely guard, his powers were essentially robbed of him by his own hubris. he had forgotten his roots as a deity of chaos, and just went about his business at black mesa , only occasionally pulling pranks or talking shit to at least keep himself alive. the only person there keeping him sane was tommy, outside of that he fell into a deep depression.

gordon was different though. gordon immediately came up to him and once they started talking, benrey got the rush of causing chaos again. he zeroed in on him and followed him around, the rises he would get out of gordon were hilarious and intoxicating to him and he wanted more. he watched gordons every move from a distance, hiding in shadow. what started as a fun game of cat and mouse became an *obsession.*

he watched the science team gang together in real time, and in these moments he REALLY got his power. benrey himself didn’t need to be pissing off gordon, the other scientists could just be pissing eachother off and benrey would just feed off of the vibes. his power was growing exponentially, in the times he wasn’t visibly around he would hang around in his weird little pocket dimension to cache his energy but he was still omnipresent and surveying them.

the weirder shit that happens is a direct consequence of benrey becomming more powerful, the scene with Gman is a scene of genuine cosmic horror in my AU. gman is horrified and bewildered, *he knows what benrey is.* AND he knows his lack of power was keeping him stuck at black mesa cosplaying as a human. the fact he was able to intercept gman and gordons conversation was ABSOLUTELY terrifying to Gman because couldn’t possibly IMAGINE what this power would entail. he wouldn’t be so upset if he knew what benrey had in store for humanity, whether it be world domination, cosmic destruction, or to just have a good time. what scared gman worse is that he knew that his fear and confusion were just adding fuel to the fire that would later be the finale.

benreys obsession with gordon eventually became an intense one sided infatuation, a *lust* for the attention he gave him. he would lay his flirting on thick, knowing it would be taken as a joke or a threat no matter how he phrased it. this shows itself best in the finale when he’s actually trying to be genuine in his own fucked up manipulative confusing way, unable to really string together human affection in a way that again, would not be cosmically terrifying and unknowable. after his advances are denied and the gang retaliates with violence benrey actually snaps and becomes the final boss, just wanting to rip the fabric of the universe apart in the most chaotic way possible.

this. is toxic yaoi.

For your consideration: Mimi & Enki

Ack!! I love Mimi and I love Enki and when I got to thinking about it, they totally match each other’s freak. I just really feel like they’d get along and would be great friends in a crossover.

(This entire idea stemmed from a really dumb idea I had a few days ago because of that audio- “name a more iconic duo” was stuck in my head, and so I present to you the twink & redhead duo)

To be clear, Mimi’s and Enki’s designs/colours are done in a more headcanony way- so I gave Enki more melanin and made Mimi a redhead (it just felt right).

Okay so, I wanted to show the crossover in a few different ways- (a lot of writing will ensue, sorry I’m a yapper through and through)

The first in the top left corner is a swap AU where Enki is in WOH and Mimi is in Funger. I tried to capture the essence of both games while staying in my style.

Then next in the bottom left is a modern AU/Not Evil AU where it’s present day and there’s zero supernatural stuff going on in their lives. They are college/university students in this au and I have Mimi studying Pathology and Enki studying Anthropology (probably also Religion), since those both just felt right. I had in mind that they’d both have sh scars in this au since even though there’s nothing cosmically fucked up happening, doesn’t mean they are cured of their inner turmoil- with Enki’s depression, and Mimi’s unhealthy obsession with her own self-mutilation in-game. Now both in uni, they are doing much better and have found that ✨therapy✨ works wonders.

Then lastly, it’s a proper crossover where they meet in the middle and see each other’s worlds. I feel like Enki, seeing as his world doesn’t have human people, very much not godlike at all, with two hearts and the ability to stab into one’s brain and kill the nerves in one’s brain without killing oneself, he would be intrigued by Mimi’s experiments. For Mimi, obviously she’s at least semi used to seeing horror roaming her town, but most of those are at least semi-humanoid and that isn’t the case for a large majority of the creatures in the dungeon. Obviously the gods exist in her world, but none are as big (or I guess imposing??) As they are in funger.

Any thoughts? I absolutely LOVE discussion, so if y’all have any hcs or anything I’d love to hear it.

I jsut had an idea for Slow Boiled Stone Egg au.

Basically, in the base jttw canon story, both Buddha and Guanyin are supposed to be present DURING the fight with Macaque. So you can bet that after a battle like that, Guanyin is going to insist on Wukong getting a checkup, like... he's pregnant for crying out loud and just had to kill his mate. While she is doing that, Gold Star basically comes down to get statements and discovers A) Wukong is a Stone Monkey, B) he pregnant, and C) he very much wants to keep this a secret. Now, Gold Star always liked Wukong. It's why he tried also hard to defend him when the Jade Emperor was all for killing him for his insolence from the get-go. Learning his favorite troublemaker had been a member of his favorite species of extinct primate celestial this time is a big shock to him, and he did so after discovering he had to kill his own mate, who without the magic to keep up a glamour, is now very obviously seen as another Stone Monkey. He's gonna know what that means for Wukong, being ghe msot knowledgeable about Stone Monkeys and their mating habits, and he'll feel a lot of sympathy for him.

I imagine he'll have a talk with the Pilgrims, just letting that they should take it easy on Wukong for a bit after the death of his mate, and offhandedly mentioning the fact Stone Monkeys mate for life. And kindly ask that they follow Wukong's request to keep these facts hidden and secret, and to respect that Wukong is in grieving and likely will not ever truly be able to find romantic love again.

Oh gosh, and Guanyin and Gold Star were likely unaware that Macaque didn't know until the fight was over. Buddha probably did but he has a lot on his cosmic plate rn.

The PIlgrims, the Gods, and even Guanyin herself wanted to step in and stop the fight; but Wukong refused. He demanded that it stay between him and his mate, that he can find a way to calm him down enough to tell him.

In the Jttw Stone Egged au: Wukong is successful.

However, in the Slow Boiled au: he tragically isn't.

Wukong is sobbing, wailing, screaming over the deceased monkey before him. His Pilgrim brothers are so disturbed by what they just seen that they can't even speak. Guanyin is stoney, trying to hide her own tears of sympathy as she tries to approach the monkey to determine his and his unborn's condition. Wukong refuses to move from his spot drapped over his unmoving mate.

Meanwhile, Gold Star stands nearby. A look of dismay, confirmation, and horror upon his face.

I hc that Gold Star has some huge empathy, not only for demons, but for any form of life - as the planet Venus is now scienfically believed to have once had a basis of life similar to what later developed on Earth's pre-Cambrian. The primordial god of Venus had to watch all life on his planet die off, whether due to supernatural or cosmic changes. When he became the Jade Emperor's right-hand man, Gold Star advocates for all life, now matter what - including a little chaos monkey he suspected was a reminder of the far past.

When the Monkey King and the Six Eared Macaque fought and the Macaque died; Gold Star basically witnessed what very well could be the last member of an extinct species kill their mate in self-defence. And upon realising that both monkeys were an extinct species of celestial primate? You might as well have crushed a dodo egg right infront of him.

Stone Monkeys mate for life.

Sun Wukong is an *immortal* Stone Monkey. One that's carrying a Stone egg (!!).

And he has just killed his mate in self-defence.

Gold Star bluntly states the above bullet points to the Pilgrims when asked why he himself is tearing up. All four companions weep with sympathy as the knowledge sets in, Tripitaka in particular blaming himself for banishing Wukong just before the Macaque tried ambushing them. Had the monk maybe have been more trusting of his student then maybe both monkeys could be alive right now.

At some point during the grieving, a mass of chains rise up from the Underworld and pull the six-eared monkey down into the depths, ignoring how the Monkey King screams and digs through the dirt to follow his mate.

The stench of death magic hangs in the air.

Wukong stare blankly at the dirt. His moonlight has been taken into the Underworld. Somewhere he himself is unwelcome.

In the next few years he attempts to bursts through the gates to retrieve his mate, only to recieve word that the Liu'er Mihou is not listed among the dead throughout all the levels of Hell. Wukong cries once more, now bittersweet, that his mate has passed through the Bridge of Naihe into the next life.

Wukong spends the next thousand years waiting.

Me when- me when- me when looking for a creation myth ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

I haven't heard people talk about it nearly enough. I do genuinely think it affected my writing style and plot making and like my plot and trope preferences a lot. Because Pre-apocalypse, slice of life, cosmic horror, body horror (sorta), and non-human entities being painfully human (AHHH TOMMY) mixed together with a nice bow on the top holy fuck. I'm pretty sure I cried while reading it, I had so many theories and questions and the imagery was amazing I could envision everything so well and holy fuck it was amazing I loved it.

Might've made an au where Technoblade happens as a personification of the sunset/sunrise and forces the brothers back in their places but in the process accidentally gets stuck as a human and has a crisis about it before realising that wait actually being a human is pretty cool and on fuck what have I done how do I get Tommy and Wilbur back. And also even more weather anomalies start to happen like starfall as a metaphor for tears maybe? And also an eclipse happens at some point because yes. Also I know that Phil is supposed to be very human in this but but like he's way too weird and normal about everything to not have some connections to the divine. So.. maybe Phil as a personification of earth and humanity? That did the same thing the brothers did but a long time ago? Sorry at this point I'm just ranting. The story doesn't really need a continuation, it's amazing the way it is, the tragic ending just makes me sad. And Phil teaching Tommy how to make pancakes? OUCH. The reveal that Tommy did all of this and the whole loneliness thing? OUCH!

man this makes me so happy to read because I always forget I even wrote that fic but I was so proud of it when I first finished it. I loved playing with the imagery and the atmosphere in it and I'm so glad there are some people out there who hold it close like I did :)

(also, you're totally free to come up with your own ideas/hcs for continuations and all that. but if you're curious, while I kept it very subtle on purpose I did include subtle references towards the end of the fic to the earth itself being alive and displeased with both wilbur and tommy for their choices. in my head, techno was the earth and he was annoyed the other two were just gonna let the apocalypse happen lol)

Headcanons where the entities at the hotel adopt Y/N?

Aight I’m a do this while working on the poly au rq

hcs:

- You are the most protected and most spoiled little child ever.

- Imagine being raised by cosmic horrors (couldn’t be me!)

- Figure/Seek/Ambush/Rush/Hide would all take care of you primarily both because they have actual experience in taking care of kids or because they actually want them. - That'd make Dupe, Screech, Sally/Window, Mystery entity that looks like Seek AND Snare your siblings. - You are inducted into the child army immediately.

- You’Ll probably sleep in one of the hotel’s many bedrooms with one primary one being selected as yours.

- presuming you are a small child, they��ll probably put you in one of the long hallway bedrooms.

- Imagine cuddling up at night with Screech or any of the other hotel’s kids if you get scared!!

- Presuming you are older..I’d say one of those bigger bedrooms (think those treasure bedrooms with the desks)

- If your an infant, they’ll probably even name you something like..”lure” and use your cries to lure in concerned intruders to your crib where they’ll kill them.

- That’s only if your super young and can’t be traumatized by it though.

- As you grow older, you’ll become more attuned to the hotel.

- After only a few months, the hotel will “””””See”””” your a resident and accommodate you accordingly.

- More on that, you’ll instinctively know were and if your parents/siblings are hunting + which rooms they currently are in. - You can gain access to your room from any door as though you where an entity.

- You’ll probably end up ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ ◼️◼️ ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️.

- Though they’ll tell you NOT to go those rooms with them because it’s incredibly dangerous while their running around the halls trying to get any intruder that might be in the hotel.

- Figure + Seek would teach you how to read/write both braille + regular English.

- Jack would probably be the funny uncle -type character who pops out of the closet and tickles you. (Rather then like..parent and child.)

- Eyes too. I don’t think neither would really like raising children but would still definitely be involved in your life as close family.

- Hide would parent you though, it wants kids despite its terrible anxiety. It’d read you bedtime stories and tuck you into bed. - You'd be Hide's lil baby regardless of age.

- Imagine Rush having to change a diaper like “NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE”

- Or it reading 'what to expect while expecting' because it's never taken care of a human before lmao. - Imagine you hide in its fog and it pretends it cant find you like at all and you pop out. Or even hiding in there with Dupe and Sally. - Ambush: “wait, were are the kids?”

- The kids: 👀👀👀

- Imagine Seek soothing itty bitty Y/N to Sleep. Running its fingers gingerly though their hair, keeping an eye (or eyes) on them as they sleep.

- The entire hotel panicking because they thought you wandered off and got hurt only to find you peacefully asleep in your room.

- Figure would probably teach you how to respect books and how to navigate the library. If it trusts you not to tear it’s books. Also carries you around on its shoulder like a lil parrot.

- Jeff probably gets excited when you wander into his shop. He’d carry you around in his tendrils happily.

“Ghosts aren’t real. Ghosts are just... an alternate reading of the information! You, we, me as I am, standing right here with these appendages and this hair color and this jacket I chose today - we aren’t equipped with the appropriate translator. The-- apps to read the file format of the bodies out there. Our brain runs the input information through, and ghosts and visions and mismatched imageries come out the other end. I don’t know anything about how smartphones work.”

“So you-- you have the same brain? Human one? And not-- I don’t know, elder god... goop... matter?”

“Yes! and it is marvelous. I look at Fate and it’s just golden strings trailing from one stop to another! It is bea-utiful. Can you believe it! I look at things and find them beautiful! I am never letting go of this brain.”

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

@earmuffstar

I love your hc about Alteans!!! Cause like we know that alteans are shapeshifters and a diplomatic species and most likely tried to accimilate and adapt to earth until eventually there is no difference left between them and the other sentient species they share the planet with.

And it would be very interesting to think about what would happen to them. There's a chance that they would revert back to being alteans, there's a chance that it could actually kill them or atleast negatively impact them, or there's a chance that they evolved to the point that they are closer to being humans then alteans and ergo have similar reactions to what happens to humans with like only slight variations.

It just really depends on how they and humans adapt to these circumstances. And humans are very adaptable

A lot of people including me😔 are like "Oh x character should get altean alchemy" (it is mostly Lance but sometimes it is Keith and even Shiro) but honestly? I kinda being to partial to- "actually humans should get their own brand of quintessence manipulation like Balmerans, Olkarion, Galra etc etc that got triggered due to the War and it should be tma avatars level of fucked-up-if-true cause i think it would be funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

[ein-liebloser-wanderer]

yandere hcs for [CENSORED]? Love your works!

You have my deepest gratitude, Anon~

But I'll be frank, this is possibly the most difficult Abnormality anyone could ask from me...oh my.

It's story, information, and even appearance is just a bunch of [CENSORED] and [CENSORED] doing [CENSORED].

...The only thing I found that wasn't redacted in any of its encyclopedia entry was breeding. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Think of that what you will, readers...think of that what you will...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⸸ Yandere Lobotomy Corporation — [CENSORED]'s Redrafted Encyclopedia Entry⸸

(A Yandere humanoid AU of Lobotomy Corporation where I had to practically rewrite this Abnormality because it's just a bunch of [CENSORED] and cosmic horror galore. I like to be as canon compliant as possible...but how the bloody hell can I do that? I could just post a big [CENSORED] bar, and say use your imagination haha...)

(...Oh, wait.)

For personnel safety and sanity, nothing from [CENSORED] shall be quoted or recorded. If any information were to slip through the filter, serious precautions will be taken.

O-03-89, an ALEPH-Class Abnormality also known as [CENSORED], looks just like the facility's [CENSORED] from long ago, but it seems to be capable of donning a human form.

But unlike Nothing There, [CENSORED] can do this without the need of a 'human shell', nor does it have difficulty understanding human interactions. It seems to already understand the human psyche.

However, this was only discovered after Agent N was sent to do Instinct work on [CENSORED]. Despite their high fortitude level, they were unable to withstand the WHITE damage inflicted upon them by O-03-89's human form and words.

Initially, the Abnormality was thought to be incapable of communicating as it only ever seemed to care about doing [CENSORED] or [CENSORED] the moment it breaches containment.

But now, it is apparent that just like Nothing There, its intelligence shouldn't have been underestimated. Because of this newfound data, it can even be argued that O-03-89 is the most dangerous of all the ALEPH classes. Because unlike most, it is driven solely by three things.

Bloodlust.

Rage.

Its instinctive desire to make everything [CENSORED].

.

.

.

⸸ For Level 5 or higher employees only ⸸

It is crucial that Agent N must never work on O-03-89. It is a known fact that the only personnel that can see this Abnormality are high-level personnel, excluding the Manager.

As of now, it is clear that it is not just its appearance that can inflict WHITE damage. O-03-89 can manipulate words and information to benefit itself.

And due to its true appearance...it is very likely to divulge details about [CENSORED] from long ago.

Since these are sensitive info regarding the Manager and Agent N's personal life, particularly the incidents of [CENSORED] before L-Corp was founded, it is crucial that neither one of them goes near O-03-89.

Agent N should not to be considered a high-level employee.

They are not suited to work or even be anywhere near O-03-89.

Agent N may seem competent after surviving many Abnormalities in one record, but that is exactly why they must never hear or see that Abnormality ever again.

If Agent N were to interact with [CENSORED] in any shape or form, all high-level employees will have to consider disposing them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, this is still technically headcanon, but I just made it more formal by putting it in the format of an SCP article.

Ah, and, by writing it like this, as if a higher-up is announcing urgent instructions to its employees...I can hint that even the facility itself might have certain interests in the Agent.

[shadeswift99]

Top 5 fanfics (HC or not; can't be written by you (even though yours are amazing))

Hmm, I honestly don't read a lot of fic aside from things people write for events I'm running... I'll see what I can muster up

1. Lost In The Void's Embrace by @/ambered-glazed-sheep - I CANNOT stress enough that I would not be writing Hermitcraft fic if this story did not exist

2. Slayer's Sons (also by Amber) - even better than LITVE in my opinion, but that gets the top spot for sentimental reasons

3. Blood Moon by @/bat-connoisseur for the cosmic horror and the creative character design

4. Anything written for the Scattered AU I ran on @hermitcraftheadcanons, especially the stuff people wrote for Impulse

5. Malfunctioning Instincts by @/missiefishu - it's been on hiatus for about forever, but it contains one of my favorite little fight scenes with ZIT against some zombies, as well as some excellent design choices for Doc and Tango

[ttrtru]

Saw you like Lovecraft while coming threw all your art. What do you think of beings like Ungoliant who seems to have a bit of a Lovecraftian horror theme to them? Do you ever think about a lotr/lovecraft crossover?

Well I haven’t really thought too much past the “yeah may be Melkor’s an Azathoth and Mairon can be his Nyarlathotep and/or the flute (players) surrounding him”:P

I’d like to think that Ungoliant is an existence outside of Eru’s creation, an unknown “thing” that is outside of the song.  She only really able to enter Arda through Melkor’s invitation and Ungoliant sucking the trees were never part of the original music(that’s my HC any ways).  

If I were to cross over in a Tolkien/Lovecraftian horror sense, “Angband from the POV of Maedhros” or “Frodo feeling the draining presence of the ring” might be close.  In a way I think that the Ainur are beings of cosmic horror from space to a certain degree so any story of being facing them would be Lovecraftian horror.

Or, we could have Lovecraft-ish in a less “horror of the unknown” and more “parody of existing work” like an AU around “Herbert West-Reanimator” with Herbert West being Annatar and his supporter/narrator as Celebrimbor.

Or or, there could be some Dream Quest like AU where a mortal walks into the Dream Lands(ie. Valinor) and explores the land to seek Kadath(ie. immortality).

Anyways here’s some random Nyar-accursed-flute-player-Mairon and randomly-designed-cosmic-horror-ish-Ungoliant art to fill in this white space.
