While browsing the internet I realized that something quite common and popular in the fandom of Studio Investigate games is to make Married in Red AUs with the Dead Plate characters.

especially Vincent taking Bok-su's place, and Rody taking Da-jeong's place.

and while I quite like these AUs, an interesting idea came to me that, personally, I think fits better with the Dead Plate characters.

What if Rody took Bok-su's place?

I mean, think about it, Rody could have gone through the same thing as the first ending of Dead Plate, but realizing that Vincent had to do with Manon's disappearance. So although he walked away from him, as soon as he had the opportunity to take revenge on Vincent weeding, he took it.

Taking away Vince's partner like he did with Rody's.

I think that here it not only applies better to the theme of revenge, but also in general I find several parallels with other characters.

Vince and DaJeong are selfish people who, while they may be decent, don't see the bad/regret their past actions. nor how that affected others so horribly (Rody/Bok-su).

and Rody, instead of having been someone dedicated to a career like Bok-su, was very dedicated to Manon, and both of them, upon losing that something/someone that stabilized them, lost their minds and took justice into their own hands.

I don't know, I just want to see Vince suffer and Rody have a satisfying revenge.

navegando por internet me di cuenta que algo bastante comun y popular en el fandom de los juegos de Studio Investigate es hacer AUs de Married in Red con los personajes de Dead plate.

especialmente Vincent tomando el lugar de Bok-su, y Rody el lugar de Dajeong.

y si bien me gusta bastante estos AUs, me vino una idea interesante y que, personalmente, creo que encaja mejor con los personajes de Dead Plate.

¿y si Rody tomara el lugar de Bok-su?

digo, piensenlo, Rody pudo haber pasado por lo mismo que en el primer final de Dead Plate, pero dándose cuenta de que Vincent tuvo que ver con la desaparicion de Manon. por lo que si bien se alejo de el, en cuanto tuvo la oportunidad de tomar venganza de Vincent, la tomo.

quitandole a Vincent a su pareja como el hizo con Rody.

creo que aqui no solo aplica mejor para el tema de la venganza, sino que también en general encuentro varios paralelismos con otros personajes.

Vince y Dajeong son personas egoistas que si bien pueden ser decentes, no ven lo malo/no se arrepienten de sus acciones del pasado. ni como eso afecto tan horriblemente a los demas(Rody/Bok-su).

y Rody en vez de haber Sido alguien dedicado a una carrera como Bok-su, estaba muy dedicado a Manon, y ambos al perder ese algo/alguien que los estabilizaba, perdieron la cabeza y tomaron justicia por sus propias manos.

no se, simplemente quiero ver a Vince sufrir y Rody tener una venganza gratificante.

Another sneak peek at the fantasy AU! This time with Da Jeong.

She still very much messed up in this au… but I’d say she’s probably at least a bit more sympathetic :)

[unusual-society]

"Philip! What happened to you!?"

"Chill out, Rody. It's just a plush. Maybe this is just a reminder that he's still out there."

"Really? Phew, okay then."

[There's a woman on the sidewalk, in front of the venue. She seems to be a bride, sitting there on the porch, crying. Her mascara runs down her cheeks, her hair down in messy curls, oblivious to any sounds around her. She looked familiar... too familiar to myeong-hoon.]

( @maddydrawscharacters )

   a bride... with curly hair, crying on the sidewalk.

   oh, no... it couldn't be... but she was having a beautiful day with her beloved, what had gone wrong?

Dead Plate x Married in Red AU Drabble: but you did...

-Married in Red/Dead Plate Major spoilers for several endings- Rody takes Bok-Su's place and Vince is Da-jeong- Vince is canon gay so he is marrying (ceremonially) a man- Quite Angst- TW in the Hashtags

MAIN POST OF THE AU

- “Rody, here you are…”

Vincent's voice brought Rody back to reality and, oddly enough, a feeling similar to excitement. Not excitement to see it, no, excitement for what was to come.

Rody turned and stared for a moment at his Ex-boss, his former friend, who was looking at him with a look of serious reprimand. If Rody were his self from about 5 years ago, he would probably be shaking and scared, but at this point...Rody could only smile, satisfied with being pushed to the limit like this. He had it right where he wanted it.

- “I need to talk to you” - Vincent grabbed his arm, urging him to come closer.

- “whatever you want Vincent—“- Rody returned to his introductory self, trying to appear as non-threatening and friendly as possible until he was cut off.

- “in private.”- Vincent tightened his grip on his forearm, either trying to prevent him from walking away or trying to intimidate him, it didn't work in any case.

- “It seems like a luxury with so many guests. There are too many people to do something here…” - Rody didn't know if he said that last thing for Vincent or for himself. Be patient Rody, almost, almost...

-“Chris's room should be enough.”-

- “the groom's room? What would Chris think if he heard you now?” – Rody watched with amusement as Vincent's face contorted into even more visible anger, but surprisingly he didn't say anything. he only half drag him to the room.

_____________________________

Rody entered the room followed closely by Vincent. He tried to stay as close to the closet as possible not only to ensure the success of his plan, but also to keep Vincent away from him and not notice the metallic smell he emitted from there (which they both already knew VERY well).

- “cut the shit, tell me why you're really here.” – Vincent looked at him irritated and visibly dismayed at the lack of information, he KNEW that if Rody was here it was for a bad reason, but he needed to hear it from him, to know what was.

- “I already told you Vincent, I came to congratulate a friend who helped me in a difficult moment on his wedding day” - Rody repeated the words he said to him at the reception, but it was different, robotic, rehearsed. As if he already saw what would happen coming.

- “Rody, I'm not an idiot, I know that's not why you're here, if you try anything right now I swear I'm going to—” Vincent went from being simply annoyed to being angry at the idea of that day being ruined (and therefore Rody no less) but he couldn't even finish his sentence.

- “or are you going to do what, Vincent? What are you going to do? Is there even anything you haven't done?”- Rody stared at him, seeing how the little color in Vincent's face disappeared at the indirect accusation.

-“Was it worth it? Did you test your hypothesis? How can you live with yourself, be happy, while someone Like HER just managed to rot in your Freezer?”-

Rody didn't raise his voice once, but he had to restrain himself from going up to Vincent and simply breaking his neck, stabbing him with the pie knife, strangling him—he held back waiting for an answer, something that would at least show him that Vincent had, even if it is, SOME regret for what he did, grief, dissatisfaction, guilt. Everything Rody was feeling all these years was because of him-

But he got nothing, not even a measly apology. Vincent just looked at him like a deer looks at the headlights of a car, he didn't move or speak. Rody knew it at that moment. He didn't feel it, or if he did, it would never be enough.

- “Rody…go away. Just Go—I've tried to be friendly because this is a happy day for me, but I just can't be calm with you around. I'll tell Chris and we'll both escort you OUT.” Vincent spoke firmly, like when he was in the kitchen, but he was clearly short of breath, and his pulse was trembling. Oh, how the tables have turned.

- “Speaking of Chris, do you think I can at least give you my wedding gift?”-

- “I Beg Your pardon?”- Vincent seemed more offended than surprised.

- “You said you would go for Chris, right? Well, put your hand in my pocket” - Rody extended the side of the pants that had the “wedding gift” a little, to make the message more explicit. He planted his feet firmly on the floor and looked Vincent in the eyes with a look that he couldn't tell, whether it was excitement or impatience. He wouldn't leave until he had seen Vincent open his gift.

Vincent simply grunted and sighed in resignation, approaching Rody and putting a hand in his pocket without giving it much thought -

–“This is ridiculous. What does what's in your pocket have to do with Chr—”- Vincent cut himself short as he felt something familiar and unusual in the texture, it was familiar. He wrapped his hand completely around it and knew right away, it was a cake knife. But that wasn't what made him freeze in place immediately and break out in a sweat as he thought about the possibilities. No.

It was the fact that the knife was wet, with a coagulating substance, something he had already felt.

Vincent took the cake knife completely out of Rody's pocket and saw his fear come true, the knife was almost completely covered in a bright red, with coagulated parts and even what Vincent could only guess were pieces of skin stuck to the edge. .

-“RODY…YOU DIDN'T DARE..”- this wasn't happening, it couldn't be happening. Rody couldn't have done what he thinks he has done...

-“Oh, not me, Vincent…You did it.”- Rody concluded with a smile.

-“EXCUSE ME—“- -“That was your weapon”- Rody spoke again, cutting him off again.

Vincent went from being incredulous to being angry at Rody's accusations, not only because he knew it was a lie, but because of the nonsense it was.

- “IT'S OUR WEDDING DAY! ALL THIS WAS BECAUSE HE WANTED IT! WHY WOULD I HURT HIM?!”- The thought that Chris could be out there severely injured or, worse and more likely, dead, not only made Vincent raise his voice in anguish, but it even made his eyes water.

-“What do I know? I'm just a witness. MAYBE you heard him say how he was thinking of leaving you. Maybe he loved someone more than you, maybe you went back to your old habits, and your huge ego couldn't handle the rejection…you had to get rid of the problem” - Rody used everything he acquired at the party, using it as ammunition not only to substantiate himself, but to see Vincent even more hurt. He knows it's not true, and it will still take him down...

-“THAT IS RIDICULOUS! I WOULD NOT KILL SOMEONE FOR SUCH A DUMB REASON!”- Vincent said frantically, both pain and anger mixing as he spoke.

-“BUT YOU DID IT VINCENT. YOU DID IT…” -

Rody looked at Vincent with an anger he had never seen in him, almost feeling an oppressive force in his chest, as if someone was squeezing his heart from the inside, but he was quickly overcome by pain.

-“I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!”-

Everything happened so quickly, Rody had to admit, if he hadn't moved in time and removed the pearl necklace, he would probably have been impaled. But at that moment the only thing he could think about after falling against a shelf was how he saw, now too slowly, how the body of Chris, the groom, collapsed from its hiding place and fell right into Vincent's lap. Stopping it in its tracks.

Vincent looked down tensely, feeling how the remaining blood began to seep and stain his clothes, with the cold body of the love of his life looking up, empty, lifeless.

The realization took a few seconds to come, and when it did, it came in the form of a powerful scream of misery, denial, and grief.

Vincent didn't even realize how bad the situation looked, very busy unable to take his eyes off his dead boyfriend, until the aforementioned's mother arrived, having been alerted by the screams.

“—what's happening—oh my god—OH MY GOD!! MY SON!—“- Chris's mother's voice was unmistakable. When Vincent tried to say something, anything, he was interrupted by a familiar scream.

-“GET AWAY, MA´AM! THAT MAN IS A PSYCHOPATH! I SAW HIM STAB CHRIS AND TRY TO HIDE THE BODY! HE TRIED TO KILL ME! GO AND GET HELP!” - Rody shouted in an “altered” manner while taking off his sack that was now stained with blood. Vincent processed his words and tried to refute as best he could.

-“DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, HE WAS THE ONE WHO—“- -“GET AWAY FROM MY SON!”- before he could even speak in his defense, Vincent was pushed away from his boyfriend's body, being held by his crying mother.

Looking up, Vincent saw how people came up and looked at him in horror, obviously buying Rody's story. How could they not? He had a Weapon and his boyfriend's blood everywhere. What should he do? what? what!?

The only thing Vincent could do at that moment was stand up (falling due to blood in the process) and run, run outside, away from prying eyes, away from his dead boyfriend and future, away from RODY.

Rody took his time getting up and adjusting his clothes, taking a moment to look at the mother of the son he murdered, feeling that unpleasant bubbling sensation in his head. He couldn't afford that now, it's too late. It's time to finish it.

_______________________________

The bloody footprints went from the groom's room to where the ceremony was going to take place, although of course, it was obvious that Vincent slipped a couple of times on the liquid (either because of the rush to get away or because of his anxiety made him clumsier), you could see prints of his hands on the floor trying to support himself, on top of a table, and the most cruelly ironic, on the sign with Chris's name, where he would sit with Vincent at the end of the ceremony.

Vincent was cornered, he had nowhere to go but outside. Everywhere he went inside people pushed him to prevent him from “escaping” or heard even more crying about how he could have done something like that, to Chris of all people. Vincent couldn't even tell who was yelling to call the police, people whispering about how Chris was planning to leave him and he must have "lost his cool," among other things.

When Vincent finally arrived outside the place, as people ran inside, he could only look ahead, unable to breathe properly, tired, shaking (from anger at the situation? from hatred towards Rody? from pain at this new feeling of loss?). Vincent walked slowly trying to catch his breath, opened his white jacket a little (now stained red) and stopped for a second on a small detail.

In the pocket of his jacket, a daisy that Chris had left him as an ornament, due to all the commotion, had shattered into pieces, without a single petal remaining.

Vincent didn't even want to look up, facing the makeshift altar Chris's family had made, with hyacyntus, he couldn't. He wouldn't want to face the reality of his current situation, yes, but worse, he wouldn't want to face the “maybes”, the “what ifs”.

He just stood there, squeezing his arms tightly around his body, his hand closed over the last detail of a destroyed life, and he muttered the same thing over and over and over again.

- “I…didn't do this…it was him”-

As people walked away from Vincent erratically, Rody took slow steps towards where he saw him run, feeling a great level of satisfaction in the progress. Was this what fulfillment felt like? the relief? Seeing this person who used to terrorize Rody years ago, who had been robbed of the love of his life and his will to live, now reduced to a tearful mess was more than gratifying, it was cathartic. He needed this, Manon needed this.

-“Vince…” - Rody's voice was the softest it had been all afternoon, but more importantly, he never thought he would use that nickname again, although now it felt more like a final blow, a last sign of familiarity. to whom now, was only a stranger.

- “Are you full?”

The last thing Vincent would see, before hearing the sirens approaching, would be a smiling, crooked, satisfied Rody, unaware, when that obnoxious happy grin slipped away for a second.

Daisis: they can mean new starts in life and are normally related to cheerfullness, purity and joy.

Hyacinths: meanwhile they Hyacinths are related to the love and pride (due to Apollo's and Hyacinthus story) the hyacinths can be tied to jealousy, they can also be a sign that you recognize you've made a mistake and you're looking for forgiveness.

Au where Shanks and Buggy became co-captains together.

Their crew is called the Red Pirates, both for Shanks' red hair and Buggy's red nose. Even though they didn't have their falling out, they're still emotionally constipated about each other and having been pining will-they-won't-they style for 20 years while somehow not realising the other feels the same.

They are best friends, they are co-captains, they are partners, they are boyfriends, they are married, they are in some kind of intimate relationship and both want to define their relationship as more but are too scared of ruining the careful balance that their strange friendship rivalry evolved into after all these years.

The moral of the story is change is hard but ultimately good and these old men need to stop pining and start fucking before their exasperated crew actually murder their self-doubting asses.
