#im talking about the very basic comprehension of her character and the separation between her thoughts and actions

it feels like kids projecting onto teruhashi the entities that other them at school maybe.

yeah there's definitely a pattern of people who associate teruhashi with their irl bullies or mean girls, i see a lot of people say things like "she reminds me of this girl i hate" "shes just like my ex best friend" "i would hate her irl" when i can 10000% guarantee that that isnt true, because IF YOU KNEW HER IRL, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE THINGS SAIKI KNOWS. its like the main bit, im not sure how people miss the mark so severely. if their bully or ex friend was like her, they wouldnt be a bully or ex friend. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the concept of your CatCF AU so much, and I do have to ask after reading one fic in particular- do clones exist of the other kids, and have any of them reached varying levels of freedom like the Charlies? It's such a thought-provoking twist on a take I never see people expand on, so I'm excited to see more (even if I'm an anon sorry lol)

If I completely missed the point and one of the introduced characters actually is a clone of another kid you can be honest my reading comprehension isn't the greatest

(i am so sorry if i took too long to reply anon, midterms is a pain in the ass)

wow, this is my first ask ever, ive never interacted with people about my au i just occasionally post it here thinking nobody would notice (i only get two or three likes?) aaa thank u so much!

anyways,

aghh im not sure how to explain it because the lore is still very much convoluted

I mean u haven't completely missed the mark yes there are other "clones" of charlie but the thing is i haven't really thought about the other gtws besides my focal point being on charlie as a character. (but there are reoccurring counterparts of violet and mike or augustus in later separate arcs)

let me break down a small part of the lore that talks about this, the simplest way i could (spoilers below)

see anon, the 'charlies' in the nexus are called 'morphs' and the wonkas they're specifically assigned to or whom they are tethered to, are called their 'barons'

the reason for a morph's existence in the wonkaverse is to basically act as some sort of duplicant for a baron wonka, if a Tophat (what i call most wonkas generally) senses that it's time to leave out their physical shells and become part of the non corporeals in the netherport (their version of an afterlife) barons will have a "morph" charlie customized for the Factory to keep thriving thereafter, morphs are kind of like microchips embedded within a hollow ai body, so the code for a charlie is to be a blank slate, "a good boy" acting accordingly to their intended host (or in other words their baron),

here's an image of a brief description i typed some months ago (i will update it) ik im probably just spouting a bunch of gibberish but i sincerely hope I got my point across.

there is so much more to this, i haven't really got to expounding what the connection is between a morph and the Factory they've been tethered to, but basically morphs are food suppliers for the Factory since it is less like a manufacturing plant but more of a living organism. (the nexus is a dystopic industrial cornucopia, wherein multiple Tophat Factories exist side by side like a scope of dizzying wonderland metropolis, the Factories are powerhouses, they're all rooted in the same system that govern their entire omniverse)

so that's like the whole gist of it.

it is interesting how anon thought that some of the morphs in my story have reached "freedom", though in some cases they have, two of my characters for example: cordie and spike. (but tbh cordie is likely the true clone in here, she's a clone of a morph that her baron killed) since they're basically disposable in the eyes of the baron they've been assigned to, only used as a means to an end.

morphs of the four gtws are (lmao) non existent in this story because THEY are the food the morphs are supplying for the factory, (think of it like a cabin in the woods situation).
