Excuse me! But where is my Sanders Sides Gamer AU???
Voices in my head: Gee Bunny, it seems you have no problem writing a lot of other fics and stuff yet you still haven’t even finished the next chapter of your Spiderverse fic???
Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP DISEMBODIED VOICES IN MY HEAD!!! IF YOU WANT THAT FIC DONE SO BADLY TELL MY LOGIC AND CREATIVITY TO GET THEIR ASSES IN GEAR AND GIVE ME SOME GOD DAMN INSPIRATION!!!!
Voices in my head:.....
Me: Yeah, that’s what I thought! Anyways, idk if I just missed a memo or something but I haven’t seen any Gamer AU of my boys and that is a crime in and of itself! Like, how dare! But fret not, I am here to provide content (Read: headcannons) that you did not ask for! Let us begin! Or should I say start!
(please note that I am not a gaming expert so feel free to add or correct stuff)
NOW WITH A PART 2!!!!
MAIN SQUAD
Roman Rosewood
Obviously loves RPGs! Anything with a good story line really! Or has medieval fantasy aesthetic!
Skyrim, Diablo, Undertale, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, Undertales, Dragon Age, God of War Dark Souls, Assassins Creed, Earthbound, etc.
Played West of Loathing just so he could rip on it but actually ended up loving it and spending way to many hours playing. Then he found out there was a game called Kingdom of Loathing by the same creators and went down that rabbit hole as well.
He was iffy about getting into JRPGs but then Virgil convinced him to play Persona 5 and he absolutely fell in love with the music!
All the music in his phone is either from musicals or Video games!
Also really likes choose your own adventure games like Detroit: Become Human, Life is Strange, and Telltale Games
So much video game merch! Usually figurines because he likes to make little shelves and display cases for them.
He also really likes multiplayer games because he’s a social butterfly and likes to play with his squad.
Sucks at first person shooter games but still willingly plays Fortnight or Call of Duty or Left for Dead with his friends because he doesn’t want to be a drag and complain. But also they sometimes die in game in the most hilarious ways and it just leaves everybody wheezing.
Virgil Dante
Horror games, obvs!
All about that dark aesthetic!
Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Fran Bow, Sally Face, Resident Evil, The Witch’s House, Amnesia, Little Nightmares, Bendy and The Ink Machine, Alice: Madness Returns, SCP-Containment, Pony Island, etc.
Yes, he’s played all the Five Nights At Freddy’s games. It’s a good series and it isn’t his fault the fandom is bat shit crazy and full of ten year olds! Fuck you Roman!
Every time the Walking Dead comes out he knows he’ll end up crying by the end of it. He and the squad make and event out of it.
Japanese horror games are usually his favorite because they deal more with the psychological aspects of horror instead of the jump scares
So, yes, he’s also a fan of Corps Party and Fatal Frame
Also really good at first person shooters because he has a really steady hand (you usually have to when playing horror games least you want to restart the level) and it pisses Roman off to no end every time Virgil randomly headshots him.
Usually likes to by merch in the form of posters, t-shirts, or beanies. He only buys figurines if it’s a game he really, really likes.
At first didn’t know why people kept bugging him to play Doki Doki Literature Club but then he finally caved and...oh...that’s why.
Logan Mill
My boy loves puzzle and strategy games yo!
Legend of Zelda, Portal, Tetris, Unravel, World of Goo, Inside, Limbo, Pokemon, Shadow of the Colossus, StarCraft, Command and Conquer, Age of Empire, Heart of Iron, World of Warcraft, etc.
He likes Overwatch but doesn’t like playing with people online so he usual solos or asks the others to play. But that too usually ends in chaos.
Hates rage games because he gets frustrated easily and has broken at least four keyboards and two controllers
He still plays them anyways because he can beat it damn it! Just give him a minute!
Enjoys the God of War series despite all the mythological inaccuracies
He plays a lot of Minecraft to relax or destress and has build beautiful works of architecture and sometimes entire cities.
He thought it was stupid and childish and was embarrassed about it for a long time until the squad came over to his house one day uninvited and caught him playing. He was getting ready for them to make fun of him but they instead gushed about how AMAZING everything looked and how TALENTED he was for building all himself.
Logan ends up showing them how to play afterwards and they work together to make weird sculptures and complex tunnels underground.
He likes practical merch like backpacks, coffee mugs, pencil holders, notebooks, ect. as well as a few t-shirts and novelty ties.
Yes, he does collect Pokemon cards!
Patton Adley
Silly dating sims, farming games, and any cute game really! Plus a few side scroller games!
Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Slime Rancher, The Sims, Dream Daddy, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Monster Prom, Hatoful Boyfriend, Scribblenauts, Night In The Woods, Ni Nu Kuni, etc.
Big Nintendo fan!
He made the mistake of playing Doki Doki Literature Club without reading the warning tags and regrets it immensely...still a good game though.
He did the same thing with Huni Pop but that one made him laugh more then anything and he kind of got addicted to it. Then he found out there was a sequel called HuniCam so he went down that rabbit hole too.
He likes a lot of phone app games too like Cut the Rope, Neko Atsume, and Candy Crush.
Loves trashy dating app games, he thinks they’re so funny and cheesy
He was addicted to Mystic Messenger for a long while
Just because he has his preference doesn’t mean he won’t try other games too, Logan got him hooked on World of Warcraft (though really he did that to everyone), Virgil showed him Hollow Knight, and Roman suggested he play Undertales.
Prefers merch in the form of plushies and key chains!
He likes to bake and decorate cookies, cakes and pastries in the form of his favorite video game characters.
RED SQUAD
Duncan [Deceit] Adley (Patton’s twin)
A lot of first person shooter and combat games!
Doom Series, Super Smash Bros, Mortal Combat, Halo, Fortnight, Grand Theft Auto, Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Half-Life, Team Fortress, Destiny, Wolfenstein, Bio Shock, Splatoon, PUBg etc.
Patton was the one that introduced him to Splatoon and he won’t admit that it’s actually super fun.
Doesn’t mind story driven games and RPGs but he really just wants something he can zone out to and relax
He likes to troll people online, mainly assholes picking on little kids who just want to play.
He once teamed up with a group of kids on Call of Duty solely for the purpose of collectively kicking the asses of this groups of so called “real gamers” that were being jerks.
Has memorized all the combos! He doesn’t have time to sit and look up a cool finishing move, he needs it now!
Always mains the weakest/most useless character in fighting games and still manages to kick everyone’s ass.
Doesn’t have a preference in merch and usually grabs whatever he likes be it figurines, t-shirts, posters, plushies, or whatever, so long as he likes the game it comes from.
Has several tattoos from his favorite games
Emile Picani
Classic retro games, cartoonish games, and Nintendo are his jam broham!
Mario, Classic Sonic, Paper Boy, Transylvania, Spyro, Pac Man, All the Saga Disney games, Duck Hunt, Mario Kart, Galaga, Mega Man, Donkey Kong, Secret of Mana, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, etc.
Absolutely fell in love with Shovel Knight when it came out!
Remy got him into all the indie pixel games: Towerfall, Terraria, Owlboy, Hotline Miami, Papers Please, Celeste, One Shot, etc.
Duncan was the one that introduced him to Cuphead and the usually play it together and see how far each of them can go without dying.
The game is difficult but the art is still so breathtaking!
Likes the occasional psychological thriller game
Bet Virgil showed him Alice: Madness Returns and Doki Doki Literature Club (after he’s played it of course)
Likes plushies and figurine merch with the occasional poster and coffee mug.
Likes to doodle a lot of his fav video game characters and cartoons and is actually really good at it. He helped design most of Duncan’s tattoos.
Remy Knightly
Likes a lot of indie games and old online flash games!
The Stanley Parables, Oxenfree, Inside, Firewatch, Super MeatBoy, The Binding of Issac, Donut County, Henry Stickman series, Impossible Quiz, Crush the Castle series, Hyper Light Drifter, etc.
He always gets everybody hooked on one game or another
He convinced everyone to play Undertales so for like a month they all went through a HUGE Undertales faze.
Was the actual, ACTUAL one that showed Duncan Cuphead because he knew the dork would be reminded of Emile because of the animation and would want to show it to him and play multiplayer (*cough* subtle matchmaker *cough*)
(Do not be fooled, he is a pinning boy himself)
Is up to date in all the gossip of the latest games and consuls, indie or mainstream! He’s in the know, know and if you need to know something chances are Remy probably knows it.
Weeds out through all the indie horror games for Virgil and recommends what he thinks are the best ones.
Same thing with Logan and his puzzle games, he’s usually is able to find very strange ones and Logan seems to likes those best.
Obviously has a lot of merch in coffee mug and thermal form as well as a few key chains.
Occasionally streams on Twitch with Duncan and Emile (sometimes inviting the main squad too), they’re commentary is usual hilarious.

Just Throwing Out There
Since this is a topic on something and I'm fashionably late
Here are my thoughts on MatPat and, as a long-time fan of this game (a month or two after initial release until now), I should have a say in the disgrace that was his theory.
Here are my words:
I don't care.
While his theory is false, and I'm not going to bore you with why since EVERY OTHER FAN UNDER THE SUN can tell you why, I still respect that he... "tried". He didn't interpret things in a way that made sense, but he made an interpretation. Hell, my original interpretation of this game was that you, the knight, were going to be trapped no matter what. Not killed, just trapped in dream, your shell all that's left-
Can you blame me for making an opinion that was my own?
Especially during a time when conversation and theories were still up in the air.
Like today! Where we still don't know whether any of the infected beings that were long gone (IE, the Forgotten Crossroads after a certain milestone) would even be able to survive the ending of the most recent DLC pack from how misshapen they've become! We have no idea how the infection spreads, and don't tell me hopelessness because grubfather and probably a few other examples I'm missing. It might pick the weakest minds, but really I have no clue and there are not alot of things off the top of my head that I can pad this with.
So let's move on.
Working from just memory because it's 6 am and I shouldn't be awake much less allowed on the internet right now, MatPat goes into detail about how the Knight, your main character, is the Pale King.
To an outsider, that makes sense! The evidence he shows to someone that has never played the game seems coherent. However, to long-term fans, there isn't enough evidence at all. He skipped over the Birthplace cutscene because of time constraints as pointed out by mossbag who needs no introduction to anyone actually reading this, and doesn't dig very deep into some of the dialogue given by secret NPCs, or even all the dialogue of the ones he DOES mention. It's flawed. So is mossbag's video, but I'm too tired to remember why it irked me initially. Probably the holier-than-thou stance or something. Keep in mind, I love both of these content creators-
Now, all that aside, I want to talk about this game and why MatPat's video was integral to the more widespread success of Silksong (not really but you'll see what my mind thought of at 1 am before I passed out).
Now, this is a small game. We know that. And while it's grown in the two years it's been out, Hollow Knight is still a close-knit community that offers itself up as a friendly place to be. And yes, it's seen as toxic because of our retaliation of MatPat, but that doesn't stop me from loving this fandom and game as one entity. They're both a part of each other, if that makes sense. However, being so small, certain things become undeniably clear: We Need Some Variety. I don't know about you guys, but... personally? I'm kind of worried for my little bug game. There's a ton of art by names like half-rose and... well, you know who all draws and is seen the most. I'm out of the loop by a bit.
This is a great way to have big names in the field! Not so great when they're the only names...! And while their art is beautiful and makes me happy to see, I would love for someone else, some new blood, to draw for it. My mind goes to mnstrcndy or walkingmelonsaaa. Their art, but Hollow Knight content. Imagine that? Getting more people to enjoy something that's brought us together? A travesty.
Now, of course, it reached its peak and now it's slowly leveling out, but that stability worries me. Ready to hear an unpopular opinion? I WANT this game to get a huge fanbase. I WANT it to become run over with ocs and 12 year olds. I WANT it to grow, and flourish, into something that isn't just a bunch of people screaming at one man because his take on a complex and difficult story (that is so out of the park that I couldn't write that without laughing to myself) is incorrect. I don't want it toxic, I don't want it to be seen as a bad fandom. I want it to be a place of interest to people that may be struggling with finding their own place.
Like it was to me.
I was given a chance myself, to make a name. See where that's got me, three blogs and an eternity later? It's given me a chance to be welcomed into arms of people that didn't know me but accepted who I was anyways, only connected by the mere fact that we all like this game.
It's different today than two years ago, I get that, but it's still a desire to see more people find a place they can enjoy and love. I don't think having a small and cozy fandom is that. It only brews more problems. Kind of like if there was one family left on Earth or something. Feels wrong to me-
Point is, I'm okay with MatPat's theory, because it shows more people that haven't seen this game a multiplatform indie game that presents itself as a simple journey that has you bawling like a child when BV reaches towards you after they're defeated and ONLY when BV reaches for you. No? Just me? Okay-
And I'm okay with everyone on mossbag's side saying it had that shot after being released to Switch. It did, and not alot of people saw it.
Just the a few weeks ago, buying my first USB mouse because I have money now and am not as sheltered as I used to be, I saw a Knight and a Hornet plush in the Best Buy. That alone made my day. The fact that it existed made me happy, because now more people can learn about it! More people know what it is! It isn't left to just some obscure title, it's trying to join the likes of BATIM or FNAF, making merchandise and selling it to leave a lasting impression on more people. Except it's also better than both those previously mentioned games combined if you're asking me. Bite me, horror fans.
I think? MatPat needed to do this as well. His channel is a meme, is dying out. And who can blame that? He monetized a video about someone's death, and no I haven't let that fact go.
However, his channel, while still successful, isn't as successful as it used to be, as far as I can tell.
So, he has stirred controversy.
Whether he meant to or not, he has started something that will revitalize his channel for a short period of time. Doesn't mean it's dying or anything truly, but it gave him more than he had prior.
Smart, bold, but overall morally incorrect /s
Anywho... TL;DR stop bothering the jolly green giant of theory videos because he made an oopsie, and have a nice day.
