ok I know I'm already in the process of writing an extremely long video game retelling/au where the protag is a nonhuman who gets suddenly and unwillingly put in a situation where they have to pass as A Normal Guy by the threat of harm/death while also being put into a role where they're the Only One capable of saving the world. but what if I started a DIFFERENT one too

#howling #specifically I've been tossing around this bg3 scenario #where the dark urge and some random druid (specifically a circle of spores druid) are on the nautaloid when it gets attacked #the druid dies badly and the symbiotic entity they're carrying gets kicked out of their host #and so it attaches itself to the nearest living thing as like a self-preservation measure #which happens to be a VERY lobotomized dark urge #as in 'practically brain dead'#and so the entity is now stuck in a new body they have to figure out how to pilot COMPLETELY ALONE #other than the extremely unhelpful passenger already in this fucker's brain (the tadpole)#and still has the dark urge instincts and. well. urges. but they have even LESS access to memories than normal durge has #so it now has to both convince their friends AND their enemies that yes they definitely are a humanoid guy with a past #and not a cloud of sentient fungus puppeting a sort-of corpse #idk I just really love the idea of everyone being like 'wow it's so fucked up that we have parasites in our brains threatening to take over #and this guy is just like. oh hahah yeah (<- is a parasite who took over a guys brain)#anyways. id still be writing history offers preservation but id just ALSO be doing this too #like. idk maybe it'll help my writers block if I can mix shit up a bit #use scrapped ideas for one that might work better for the other y'know #this also isn't like. a guaranteed thing btw. I've just been rotating this concept in my brain for a bit now
