#not technically canon to those aus

[warning-heckboop]

Been thinking about the Crystal Clay au more--and kinda by extension the other aus in which JD or Bruce are the ones in the diamond instead (Crystal Dory au by @tea0w0stache, Crystal Bruce au by @throwawaycan, although none of what I'm about to say should be considered canon to those aus without their creators sayso, I'm just spitballing ideas).

The main conflict that causes Branch to walk out with Poppy and Tiny, which then ultimately results in the remaining three brothers being captured by Velvet and Veneer, is fueled by all three of the oldest brothers: JD's push for perfection sets off Clay, which sets off Bruce, which all in all escalates the argument to the point we see in the movie.

But what about in these aus, where you remove one of those three? Without JD, there isn't as much pressure for perfection. Without Clay or Bruce, there isn't one to spark the conflict and then the other to fan the flames. I'm not saying an argument wouldn't happen, I'm just saying I get the vibes that, without all three of them present, and also with the additional presence of Floyd as a mediator, the argument would be contained before the group decides to split.

If the group doesn't split (and Tiny is still driving Rhonda instead of JD and therefore doesn't park in the obvious 'reserved for Brozone' parking trap), then the other three brothers would never get captured.

Which would leave the one remaining brother who's already trapped, whether it's Clay or Bruce or JD, stuck being Velvet and Veneer's only source of talent for their big show, meaning there's a much higher chance they'd suck the last of the life force out of them sooner than they did for Floyd.

Floyd barely scraped by. What's going to happen if they're left with even less time to complete their rescue?

I had too much fun with this. These are my concept art notes to determine how his facial anatomy works for my LoveLetter AU. He is semi-organic and rife with body horror.

would also like to say that Surge and Kit are probably, like, the only sibling duo that have their shit together in dc au

like they met for the first time, vibed, grew attached and then they just kept on vibing

basic info + awful silly sketchbook stuff under the cut :3

[sleeps-au-bag]

yuu manages to get all of their gaming systems from their world working in twisted wonderland. she connected them all with the help of ortho and now has access to all her games again. he uses this opportunity to introduce his friends to some games and gets them hooked on some.

yuu: really likes the honkai games and sometimes dabbles in genshin when they're interested in what's going on. long time main game pokemon fan (favorites are the sun and moon games). has both ensekai and jpsekai. occasionally plays sky but gets frustrated with the flying mechanic. loved the digital devil saga games when they came out and recently started playing p3r. still waiting to get unbanned from roblox.

ace: fell in love with the persona games, especially the ones under the smt persona ip. the persona 2 duology are her favorites. she has a roblox account but barely uses it. she plays wuthering waves a lot. modded minecraft truther right here. really good at solitaire, unsurprisingly. absolutely adores love nikki and the other games in the franchise.

deuce: he'd probably like games like smash bros and mario kart. also peaceful farming games too, he just seems like the type to like them. yuu introduced him to choose your own adventure games and he's been hooked ever since. they're his favorite type of genre and his favorite has to be telltale games' the walking dead.

riddle: big reverse:1999 fan, is in love with the story and character designs. ace made her play shin megami tensei iii: nocturne and she'll replay it sometimes. also adores love nikki but also adores the style savvy franchise games too. the moment she found ace attorney, it was like finding an oasis in the desert. unexpectedly liked bayonetta and has played all three games.

jack: he doesn't play video games that much, even before yuu introduced him to the ones of their world. he's just not interested in them but he occasionally plays minecraft with ace or sky with yuu.

epel: he won't admit it, but he loves lollipop chainsaw. he'll finish the game and then immediately start replaying it. he also likes farming simulator but lollipop chainsaw takes the cake. he plays the sonic games too but only because of the fandubs. if he gets to a cutscene, he'll sometimes quote the fandubs over the actual dub.

ortho: he's currently gatekeeping every single gacha game from idia while he plays them himself. he doesn't exactly have a favorite game but he definitely likes turn-based strategy games more than other types of games. he plays pokemon masters ex the most often and project sekai is right after it. he modded everyone 3ds'.

sebek: he mostly plays retro games and likes ocarina of time the most. he also likes old strategy games like the first fire emblem game and the first shin megami tensei game. he doesn't play often because of his duties as a personal knight of malleus, but sometimes he'll play pokemon red/blue with yuu. he was dared to play a dating sim one time and vowed to never again play one again.

guys idk if you can tell but i really like the resistance

[thepandalion]

yknow

one of my favorite tropes is casual use of OCs in fanfic

like. the guy goes to a convention and makes some friends and they're all OCs. or the guy goes to a new school and all his friends there are OCs. or. any number of things like that

and it sucks that usually the connotation of "OC in fic" is actually about self inserts of the author (which... is fine? typically has bad connotations of being cringe or whatever but I'm currently technically co-authoring a reader insert fic so yknow. cringe is dead) and that the only OC in those types of fics is the self insert. gimme more fics where there's like a dozen OCs seamlessly integrated into the canon characters' lives

cure/treatment related stuff for my fuzzpocalypse au. explanation for images below the cut ^_^

i mentioned before that something is figured out eventually, even though part of the problem with the mammalian retrovirus is the whole "having a skeleton + true muscles" thing. the solution is to...work around that the best they can, and focus on the things that are treatable. salmonid antibodies are the foundation for the experimental formula - marie had started the research after callie got infected but marina was the one to finish it, and used it on herself first before daring to try it on anyone else. turns out its great for slowing ongoing infections and it did reverse some of her bodys changes, though it remains unclear if its effective in fully stopping mammalization...

callie is the first one to undergo the treatment plan marina formulated (she was the first to turn, so its fitting), and its more succesful than she expects - but theres some pretty permanent losses that cant be undone. namely the fuzzy tentacles + loss of swim form, but teeth and claws and bad posture usually stay, too. some weird animalistic impulses stay as well, like grooming themselves even when they dont have a coat to manage, or panting like a dog, or trying to hunt, and brain fog too, but these are dependent on what the individual was like as a mammalian. what the formula cant undo is removed through extensive surgeries, like the coats the infected develop, facial structure changes, and "correcting" bone structure if its too wacky for the recovering individual. scarring is inevitable (and callie is a lot more scarred underneath her outfit) and medical trauma from the whole process is...pretty likely too.

mammalians are also provided physical therapy to help them relearn motor control for things they couldnt do while quadruped, like walking upright, writing, drawing and using tools. its not perfect, but it does spark hope among people that the world isnt doomed to a hairy breakdown of society

blindness or partial blindness in one or both eyes happens a lot. callies other eye is fine

she was also offered tail removal but shes too attached to it. its a part of her now
