GodKlok HC Ideas + Old Fic Idea

In order for my old fic idea to make any sense, I need to first discuss my ideas for Godklok and how they present to me.

GodKlok HCs

Setting: Post-AOTD

Toki: To me, Toki is the messenger of death. He isn't just the god of death, but a messenger, which is further pushed by his association with rabbits. After AOTD, there is still a lot of destruction and death around the world. Toki's duty as the messenger is to guide those who have passed into the other world and also grant those the peace of death who hadn't quite died. He has to basically travel the world and help guide masses of people to the other side and take others along with him. Rabbits are used as his personal messengers through the worlds, mainly to help Toki keep track of the other side. Now, Toki, being a messenger, can also call on and talk to anyone who has passed through possession, meaning, as that being who exists in both realms, he can grant whoever is trying to speak with the living world his body to talk. This shows in a number of different ways such as a simple possession to downright body modification to look, sound, and act like that person when they were alive. He also works in getting messages between loved ones who have passed and who have note, which his bunnys help out with the most. If it's super important, he'll deliver the news himself as the passed on loved one

Skwisgaar: Skwisgaar is life BUT he is not healing! I want to make that clear because I don't think Skwisgaar's duty is to necessarily heal the sick or heal the world, his duty is to provide fertility for the world to heal on its own. For example, there was an interview that stated that Dethklok's music made women hella horny, right? Skwisgaar's influence doesn't make people healthier, it's gives their body's the ability to create and continue. Now, I also see him very tightly connected to music, more so than any other member. That being so, Skwisgaar's influence to encourage life is passed on through his music. I see him spending a lot of time Post-AOTD playing in different areas, affecting the earth and its people. For example, if Skwisgaar were to play on a patch of scorched earth, his influence would allow that earth to become fertile once more, allowing nature to grow there again. His influence also helps re-grow the population, giving humans the ability to grow in numbers in way they have lost. He would spend a lot of time working in tandem with nature to create pieces that fit them. In a way, he can listen to the earth and it's people and know what to play back in order to get the best result. In a way, if Toki is the Messenger of Death, Skwisgaar is the Harbinger of Life.

Pickles: Ok, I know Pickles is the god of Chaos but stay with me on this. I think Pickles is also of the god Alchemy AKA he is the god of healing. As the person who is chaos, who understands chaos, who grew up in chaos, who is (in a way) immune to chaos (drugs and alcohol), he would be the one who could fully understand how to tame chaos. With his knowledge of so many substances that bring chaos, he would be able to understand how to take it out of the equation and start to heal people around him. Nothing is more chaotic than pain and war, something that they are all suffering from after AOTD. I think, once Pickles has a handle on his duties and powers, he could create concoctions and blends from, not only the substances he uses on a daily basis, but the substances of the world around him, kinda like a medicine man. He knows how to get the desired affect out of different ingredients, which allows him or help those who are hurt or ill. He spend a lot of time hands on with people all over the world and helping provide the necessary drugs for victims.

Murderface: Murderface is the god of ugliness HOWEVER! I think this can be heavily interpreted into something else. In respects to AOTD, I believe that there is nothing more ugly than war. That being said, Murderface is 1. a war fanatic 2. a "morbid crap" fanatic and 3. a jack of all trades. Murderface has a natural inclination toward war and history, ultimately liking the "ugly" parts of war. He is also someone who understands a lot about everything but is not an expert in anything either. For these reasons, Murderface is the god of war and turns into a tactician. His duty is to help the populations be able to face what has happened to them and then provide a plan of what they need to do next. Now, he isn't an expert in anything, so he has to have experts in their fields around him to help, but he is able to craft that much larger picture to start from. Being able to understand "ugliness" means that people must know the truth, and the truth will ultimately set you free. By not being afraid, by saying that he will face this "ugliness" head on, gives others the courage to look at it to and not be afraid.

Nathan: Nathan is the all encompassing sheer dominating power, which we have seen him use in the shower before. HOWEVER! In AOTD, Nathan deliberately went from "the fist" to "the hand" which ultimately changed him as well. Nathan is the voice, he's the spokesperson, he is that over arching power, BUT he is not scary. He is not terrifying. In fact, he becomes this calming presence of, "Nathan is here. Everything is going to be ok." which is what happened when he became "the hand". His voice is used to speak to people day in and day out, whether it be face to face or on tv or over radio, he has the ability to calm nations, to provide security, to provide HOPE! His job is the most important of them all because without his presence helping the public trust them, trust the others, they wouldn't be able to do their job. Think of it like a gothic superman mixed in with Brendon's own words of him being like Jesus and Dethklok are his prophets. He works in tandem with the others so that they can do what needs to be done.

Old Fic Idea

Basically, time has passed since AOTD and the group are exhausted. They decide to take a break for a while. One day, Murderface corners Toki to ask him a question. He'd seen Toki use his body to give those who have passed a chance to talk to their living loved ones. Murderface asks Toki if there is a chance to speak to Knubbler. Unbeknownst to Toki, Murderface is feeling like shit about everything that happened. Toki agrees and they go into a separate room to do it. However, when Toki is calling out for Knubbler to come speak, he does not appear, which is the first time it happens. Murderface thinks Toki is doing it on purpose while Toki is freaking out that something is wrong with his connection. They seek out the others and tell them what happened, which they are all shocked about because they've all seen Toki call onto the other side without fail. So Toki wants to run an experiment, they give him a person to contact and see if he can get to them.

So Pickles goes first and asks to speak to an old friend of his in high school who passed away from an OD. When Toki calls, he answers. Pickles and his friends share a tearful reunion, where Pickles apologizes for what happened to him that night but his friend reassurances him that there wasn't anything he could have done to save him, that he holds nothing against Pickles, and that he's glad he was able to be his friend when he was still alive. Upon coming back, Murderface asks again to see Knubbler, to no avail.

Skwisgaar is up then and he asks to see his grandmother (you can rip Grandma Skwigelf out of my dead fingers, I love her) He feels a weird sense of shame in front of her, feeling like he didn't turn out the way she wanted him to be (mild-mannered, average, married, children) but she reassures him that he wouldn't have him any other way, that she always knew he was destined for greatness. She knew since the moment he was born. So after, yet again, another tearful reunion, where she tells Skwisgaar how proud she is of him, she leaves. Murderface tries once again for Knubbler but gets no one. Toki and the guys are very worried about this revelation.

So lastly, Nathan asks to see old childhood dog, who passed after young Nathan left the back gate open by accident and he got hit by a car. While no words are exchanged, the dog is very clearly not upset with Nathan and missed him. When the dog leaves, Nathan tells him that he expects to see him first when he passes, which the dog barks at. Finally, Murderface is at his wits end and demands to see Knubbler. So Toki tries one more time and finally, someone connects.

But it's not Knubbler.

It's his mom.

After a very tense moment, she rejoices him and Murderface, for the first time in possibly forever, is held by his mother again. She explains how proud of him he is, how much she loves him, how she never once stopped believing in him. But Murderface is so strung up on Knubbler's death that he can't accept her grace and love. This is when she reveals that Knubbler is not dead. He's not dead because he too is still apart of the prophecy in some way and his journey has not ended. It will one day, but for now, he is performing his own duties on another plane. Murderface is finally able to believe her then and accept her love before it's time for her to go.

After this, the guys are relieved that nothing is wrong with Toki's connection and that Knubbler is still "alive" in a sense and working. At the end of the story, Murderface asks if they think that once Knubbler does truly pass that he'll answer Toki's call and talk to them (though he really means him), which they tell him yes.

oo psychic link + nickles?

I think this one would work really cool in a Godklok AU! Nathan and Pickles have always had a really deep connection, but once they discover their powers, it's mind-blowing. Literally. Pickles's side of the link is drugs and sex and booze, booze, booze, and Nathan does his best to provide what Pickles needs so it calms down. Nathan's side of the link is blood and brutality and, to Pickles's surprise, Pickles. There are no secrets with a link like that, and their feelings for each other are revealed in such a way that there's no taking them back. They don't mind. It's easier to project their thoughts to each other than to say that they love each other out loud.

💌👻😍🤍☕

💌 - favorite character to write for

*gestures at my meager writing catalogue* I think I have a clear favorite lol. Skwisgaar is baby.

👻 - random fact about the writer

I used to play piano, for like...8 years? I got a keyboard for xmas as a kid and it had a bunch of prerecorded songs on it and I learned Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' by ear, which led to my overbearing grandma and mom deciding I needed lessons. They made it a chore and crushed any enjoyment out of it unfortunately so I abandoned it, but I've recently started to miss it. One day when I have room for my piano in my house I think I'll pick it up again.

😍 - tag one creator you admire and why

Ok this is HARD because I admire so many mtl creators, you're all so incredibly talented. Since this is a writing ask I'll gear it that direction. I'll tag @little-murmaider because Maryrose's fics are my fandom jumping off point, I devoured several of her lovely works and she replied to one of my comments, directing me to mtl tumblr. Her writing made me wanna write again and showed me what I assumed would be a dead fandom was still active and welcoming. So you guys can blame her I guess lmao. Thank you for being a sunbeam personified! Your writing seriously inspires me so much.

🤍 - favorite writing trope

Hm, probably friends/enemies/frenemies to lovers. It's got so many applications. You can go hardcore dramatic or absolute crack and it's still fantastic. Hard to beat. I also like amnesia and I had some plans for writing it, but I've stolen a lot of pieces from it so probably not gonna happen now.

☕- favorite AU

GOD ok. I used to be so anti-AU. I wouldn't read it at all. But there's a few that have grown on me. Flower/tattoo shop is cute, I'm a sucker for fantasy in anything, ditto sci-fi. Idk I'm still kinda exploring this. Is godklok AU? If so, that wins hands down lol

But your rancher skwistok AU specifically omg. I adore it. So wholesome 😍

💭💭

1) That Ceelie and Melm pre-Klok fic! Even if it's just a little one-shot, I really wanna write the two of them together. I feel like their energies would work well together!

2) Godklok, dude. I would love to write a godklok AU! Maybe not for all the boys, since I have a hard time with Skwisgaar and Murderface (Even though I love them both), but definitely with Nathan and Pickles. Maybe somehow go godklok Toki x Magnus? I dunno. I just wanna tackle the concept!
