Next part ig??

[featherlouise]

Figured it's time to make a post explaining my AUs bc some of them are AUs of AUs of AUs and nobody's boutta read thru everything lmao

SO!!

Early Infection AU

Most of my AUs are variants of this

Hollow is infected by the Radiance as a teenager, with her slowly creeping into their mind over the course of a few months.

Eventually she takes over and ends up trying to kill the Pale King, they manage to wrestle back control and stab themselves, which throws them into the dream realm where they fight the Radiance and win.

The rest of the AU is just family fluff and drama as Hollow recovers

Hollow Fkin Dies AU

Variant of Early Infection!! Exactly what it says on the tin!! Instead of winning the Radiance fight, they're killed and everything bad that can happen does happen in the following years.

Mostly focuses on PK's grief and how EVERYTHING just gets worse and worse in Hallownest, the Knights get infected, the dreamers are infected, WL goes insane, Hornet is killed, the infection runs rampant (even more so than in canon)

By the time Ghost arrives in Hallownest, the entire kingdom is p much like infected crossroads from the get go

Radi Fkin Dies AU

Hollow loses the battle with the Radiance but manages to escape by the skin of their teeth, hiding in the dream realm and slowly killing Radi via void poisoning.

They wake up after killing her, years after their ‘death’ to a very scared and confused PK, an insane mother, and an (almost) adult baby sister

What follows is basically the aftermath of Early Infection but there’s a lot more to fix

Radi Fkin Dies Speedrun

After their death, PK goes over the top with their funeral, introducing them to the Kingdom as his child who died to save his life, and makes sure the funeral is one befitting a prince. (This is true for all hfd variants)

Meanwhile, Hollow figures out a far less subtle (and slow) way to kill Radi off, using a combo of void poisoning and stabbing to get the job done.

They wake up as they’re being paraded down the streets of the city, causing quite a scene.

PK in his paranoia, spends the next few years coddling Hollow to the point where they start a flaming row with him and decide to head to Deepnest to cool off. PK sends every available person in the palace to look for them, which leaves him vulnerable to an assassination attempt. Hollow arrives in the nick of time, but PK is gravely injured and they have to take over as Prince Regent while he recovers.

Radi Fkin Dies Speedrun: Bad End (rfds bad end)

U get what I mean about the AUs of AUs of AUs thing now right?? Lmfao

Variant of RFDS!!

PK doesn’t survive the attack, instead dying in Hollow’s arms before they can apologise for anything they said during the argument.

PK has a funeral befitting the first god king and creator of Hallownest, and is buried in a tomb in Queen’s Gardens, where WL soon follows

(Long story short, PK and WL decided they didn’t want to live without the other so when PK dies, WL decides she wants to “root herself down” as close to his burial site as possible

When a root “roots themselves down” it’s basically them entering their last stage of life and they eventually just fade away and become a tree)

Hollow is crowned King and rules Hallownest for the foreseeable future

Eventually they meet an oc bf and have kids with him, the eldest of which dies young

There’s also an afterlife in this AU, so anyone who dies spends their time watching over Hollow and their loved ones :)

Shades of Memory AU

Hollow is found out to not be hollow VERY early on, so PK removes all memories of their voidness and raises them as a normal kid

They get a good childhood, but once they turn 18 they find out about their origins in. The worst way possible.

Root of Evil AU

Evil WL au!!! She gets sick of her husband’s shit and, after finding out the Pure Vessel isn’t hollow, leaves and takes the kids (the divorce is implied abdbfn). She also takes Hornet with her bc her child needs a playmate godsdamnit!!

Most of this au takes place during Hollow’s teenage years where, after being raised believing that mortals are worth no more than the dirt under their feet, they find out that mortals are actually pretty cool sometimes!! PK is a wet rat here, what else is new, and bby Hornet gets to commit arson!! What more could you want?

ALSO ALSO EVIL WIVES!! (the Radiance x WL)

[featherlouise]

For Radi Fking Dies Speedrun

POV you attend a massive funeral done by the King for a bug you’ve never seen before, and then they just get up.

PK is having a crisis, Hollow is confused and exhausted, the Knights just acting now and leaving the emotional processing side for later, and a Bby Hornet

Immediately after this, Hollow got a Hegemol Hug

I fell asleep at a normal time and my body clock woke me up at 3am lmfao

I'VE BEEN ROTATING THIS ROUND MY HEAD HOLY FUCK

I LOVE everyone's reactions, AND BBY HORNET AAA AND THE FKIN POPCORN AND THE NOT OGRIM SHIRT AND PK CRYING AND-

U managed to make this both heartwrenching and hilarious gj I can't tell if these tears are from laughter or sadness

[featherlouise]

Idea of questionable quality:

Radi Fucking Dies Speedrun Edition, Hollow kills her very quickly (with Consequences for balance reasons) and sits up mid funeral, terrifying and horrifying the crowd

LJSDKDJDJ that'd be wild ngl

The carriage they're paraded around in is kinda like snow White's coffin, with a glass lid n stuff, so imagine they try to sit up n just fkin bang their head

"we gather here today to mourn the loss of - THUNK"

[featherlouise]

Had an idea for how Hollow could make PK laugh

One day they stub their toe when they’re hanging out with him, hard. But they don’t react

They just stand there for a few seconds, processing the ouch, and then calmly, almost deadpan sign “Fuck”

-💚

AAAHAHSNS YEA THEY WOULD

Don't forget btw!! PK can hear everything they say w/ voidspeak bc he's still stained so it makes it even funnier imo that they don't even say anything with voidspeak before signing "fuck"

[featherlouise]

For speedrun, all that hassle and then Hollow had the audacity to just resurrect in the middle of it

If they pass right the fuck out on scene it may make the King look a bit more sympathetic, and maybe with the infection also suddenly being gone after a rather quiet week/month, things don’t plummet as hard?

I think it would make quite the impression if all of the infected collapsed like puppets with their strings cut/spontaneously recovered the second the princeling woke up in the casket. Gossip fuel right there

Also what if the knights are the pallbearers or whatever? Im just imagining them seeing Hollow moving slightly (classic trope-y finger twitch?) and dismissing it as the casket being disturbed and making Hollow move.

This is mostly because I wanna see the knights catching Hollow as they tumblr out of the casket, maybe a Hegemol Hug as well before Hollow passes out (Look at the side of him, he had to give the Best hugs)

-💚

:00 HOOO MY GOD I LOVE THE IDEA WITH THE KNIGHTS I DIDNT EVEN CONSIDER THEM

Ok that definitely happens

Then the Hornet and Herrah thing happens while the Knights follow closely behind making sure they're not being swarmed

AND imagine ur first public appearance is u literally resurrecting from the dead and killing the goddess that's been terrorising the kingdom for YEARS

Tfw ur kid has a better reputation than u

[featherlouise]

Radi fucking dies was basically a Snow White situation in which the infection slowly declined over time and when the infection stopped and Radi died, Hollow got up and promptly woke up the entire palace with how creaky their joints were after laying in place for years

WAS IT???? I need to go through that tag again lmfao

Look at me forgetting the plot of my own AUs (this au isn't really mine tho let's be honest)

[featherlouise]

What if Hollow went a little over the top once their dad recovers and they finally get some well-deserved freedom? They were deprived of it for the past two decades, they might overcompensate a little

They inherited their dad's "all or nothing" mindset, time to explode a public bathroom stall with firecrackers /j

AKDNKDJ Hornet's probably no help either, she'd be the one to fkin suggest it lmao

[featherlouise]

WAIT THAT'S SO CUTE

Follow up idea; Hollow's sense of humour is trash so the dad jokes do get them almost 100% of the time, and they're so mad about it

Like he'd say the lamest dad joke imaginable and they'd try so hard not to laugh, because no, they are better than this, their sense of humour is better than this. They fail miserably

THEY HAVE THE SAME SENSE OF HUMOUR AND THEY HATE IT

PK is THRIVING

His kid laughs at his joke and his skin is clear his crops are watered his day is MADE

[featherlouise]

I FINALLY FUCKING BEAT SOUL MASTER. hate that motherfucker to bits but im lucky i explored deepnest first and grabbed weaversong bc those little spiders helped a LOT. anyway please tell me soul master gets his ass kicked in the early infection variants its cathartic - 👹

YOOO CONGRATS!!!!!!

I struggled enough with the mantis lords my first time playing that I just went straight for SM lmao

And dw he gets his shit rocked FOR SURE

I've not thought about the specifics but soul master getting an ass kicking is a universal constant, at least in every early infection variant

[featherlouise]

Go for his arms too, just take away all of the fucker's ways of locomotion /j

Ok now maybe we're being A LITTLE too mean

They'd obv go for his arms but maybe they heal p well????? They bash all the fingers in one hand in but he's got 3 to spare so it's not THAT bad that he can't write so well with one of them????

Also:

/j lmao ik we all love being mean as hell to PK

[featherlouise]

This is a different idea but what if, in Radi fucking dies speedrun, Hollow visibly ascends to godhood as the God of Silence and Nothingness (or just. Void) on the spot, during the funeral

You’re just sitting at this funeral that a friend dragged you to and suddenly the body just. I don’t know what ascension would look like but it’s very sudden and something void related.

Everything goes dead silent, even the king’s voice is overshadowed by the sheer Lack Of Sound, the previously dead body is visibly twitching or something, everyone is confused but no one can make a sound even as they try.

The silence fades and they try to sit up and hit their head on the glass with a loud THWACK

-💚

OOOH MY GOD talk about an anti climax lmfao

This FUCKS tho holy shit

[featherlouise]

i just need a traitor lord redemption arc so bad - 👹

Honestly same!! He’s one of my faves so he absolutely gets a happy ending :D

[featherlouise]

still on that traitor lord grindset so theoretically, if all the infected were cured in rfds (and rfdsbe ig) does that mean traitor lord could be allowed back in the mantis village - 👹

OH I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT

If I remember right, he willingly lets himself get infected right???? I think, at least at first, he’d still be banished tbh, but I do like the idea of him slowly repairing his relationship with his sisters!! (And his daughter bc she’s still alive I want him to be happyyy)

It would DEFINITELY take a while tho, and I don’t think he’d ever be quite as close to the tribe as he was before
