#kinda funny cuz atlas changed from a little shit to a sweet hippie and randall changed from a sweetie to a little shit

[devilsrecreation]

OKAY, SOME CHANGES/UPDATES:

-Almost everything I said above stays the same except where I said Atlas tries to confront ROR after Randall gets kicked out, since it seems like Randall stayed with the frat throughout college. That being said, Randall still apologizes post-Scare Games and Atlas forgives him, accepting that Randall is with ROR now. But they made sure to not let them get between their friendship :)

-The pic with Peter is now Atlas’ reaction when ROR started selling unwanted merch

“I just wanna talk to him”

“….What-what’cha got there?”

“Is that a knife?”

“I just wanna talk to him-“

-Randall and Atlas still made their friendship known to ROR, but Atlas promised to not kill Johnny as long as he leaves Oozma Kappa alone, which they do (ROR is still scared of Atlas lmao)

-Since Randall was only in the human world for a few minutes before Johnny “saved” him, I’m changing my entire hc involving my other oc, Sam

Atlas is now the one Sam meets first while following some reptiles deep into the Bayou where they live and became fast friends. Long story short, Sam is the reason why Atlas changed from a fiery little shit to a hippie. Sam ultimately decides to run away from his crappy home life and join Atlas into sneaking back to the Monster Realm. Like Boo, Sam gets his own handmade disguise as a lizard monster, courtesy of Atlas

-As short as their reunion was with Randall, it was super sweet. As soon as they saw each other, they practically jumped into each other’s arms and when they pulled back they saw each other’s scars, went “What happened to your face???”

-Oh btw Atlas got their scar from a fight with another banished monster…and they won

-They kindly offered Sam and Randall to stay at their place. Sam’s grateful she has a better home life while Randall mostly uses it to lay low. But at least he can hang with his bestie and catch up :)

-Speaking of catching up, it doesn’t take long for Atlas to find out the entire truth since Randy can’t lie to them. While they’re rightfully pissed and can barely recognize him at first, they firmly believe that he can still change. They’ve known Randy forever, there HAS to be some good still in him….somewhere. And right now, they’re working on it (with help from Sam)

-They were honestly super happy that Johnny’s in prison with Waternoose. They had a bad feeling about him the MOMENT they met him so nice to know they were right :)

-Chet is still terrified of them, but fortunately, they respect him more when they learned he ratted Johnny out

-Sam got them to open their mind more, so they don’t have a problem with laugh energy. Spreads a lot more “positive vibes” according to them

-I think they’ll return to their job as a receptionist for now. It was Sully’s orders when he learned about Atlas’ side of the story (he already knew Waternoose banished them but never learned the reason)

-They got to know MIFT and the newer employees really well. They love Val, see Fritz as a second dad, they’re cool with Duncan (although definitely would have beaten him up when they were younger lol), Cutter’s easy to talk to, and Tylor radiates a lovely aura. They were admittedly wary of Roger based on his familial ties with Waternoose, but he was SUCH a relief when they met him in person

-They’ve also gotten pretty close with Joy, since she reminds them of Randall. They’re teaching her about kindness :)

-Fortunately, they slap some sense into Randy and get him to see how Johnny was always using him for his own gain. Randall’s just grateful his best friend stuck by his side no matter what

Ya’ll I’m not gonna lie, I’m actually thinking about making a Monsters Inc/University oc

I did this monster oc challenge from tiktok a while back and now I’m like “yk what? Let’s make them a monsters inc character”

Everybody meet Atlas

-They’re kind of a mix between a sea monster and a scorpion except their species can go on land and in water

-Randall’s childhood best friend and went to MU with him

-Met Randall in elementary school when he was getting bullied and they (formerly she) beat the bullies with a book

-Used to be a feisty and sassy little shit who would gladly pick a fight but has since matured and become more of a hippie…who would still pick a fight if you messed with their friends. Their heart is in the right place, they just don’t make the best decisions

If you don’t believe me, this was Atlas’ reaction when Randall was kicked out of ROR

- Was a business major in MU but didn’t know what kind of business they wanted to run

-Friend of Art and Squishy during the events of MU (they think Art’s funny and they must protect Squishy at all costs)

-Was NOT proud of Randall when they saw what ROR did to Oozma Kappa at the party and they even confronted Johnny about it

To be more specific, after OK ran out, they (having been a new friend of Art) stomped to ROR and was all “What the hell did you do that for?! What have they ever done to you?!”. After Johnny and Chet told them some bs excuse like “Lighten up, it’s just a prank” and “They’ll never be scary, anyway”, Atlas told them that while they aren’t the scariest monsters around, they’re still the nicest, most hardworking people in school if you got to know them. “They’re better monsters than you jerks will EVER be!”. Then Johnny would say something even more condescending and douchey that ultimately gets himself punched in the face (and Chet punted across the room).

Thankfully, Randall camouflaged himself to avoid both the verbal beating and the embarrassment (cuz if ROR figured out he and Atlas were friends, he’d be kicked out of the fraternity for sure). But he did show himself when Atlas was leaving and the two had a little spat. Randy begged Atlas to just let it go while Atlas argued how wrong it was to do them dirty. It gets to the point where Atlas does the somewhat cliche “You’re not the person I remember” thing, which sours their friendship

-It’s okay though, cuz after Randall gets kicked out of ROR post Scare-games, he goes back to his old dorm and sees Atlas as his new roomate. They make up and still remain best friends to this day

They also made their friendship known to ROR, who are now afraid of them due to Atlas kicking them where the sun doesn’t shine. Nobody messes with either of them now

-I’m thinking Atlas gets banished sometime before the events of Monsters Inc. They were a secretary in the company (either working alongside Celia or they worked on her days off) and somehow found out Waternoose’s true colors after catching him doing something to “save the company” (it wasn’t the scream extractor but it was definitely illegal). Instead of reporting it to the cops or something like that, they decided to confront Waternoose themselves, leading to a fight where Waternoose ends up pushing Atlas through a door, thus banishing them. They eventually get un-banished after the events of MI, but oh boy is Randall in for a surprise

Living in the human world (in a bayou to be exact) is the reason they went from a little shit to a hippie

They have sort of a reputation, where they’re known as “The Beast in the Bayou”

-They can live anywhere as long as there’s a body of water nearby. Whether it’s the ocean or a lake or a river or even a creek in a forest, as long as there’s water, they’ll be just fine

-That tentacle hair can move on its own. It has done some damage

-When they (and possibly Randall) get un-banished, they once again become a receptionist

Or maybe they own a hippie boutique, haven’t decided
