What if it was easier? What if the world was kind? (Babe wake up, new rain world au just dropped!)

Characters, from left to right: The Chieftain / The Harmonic / The Quandary / The Messenger / The Artificer

under the cut is more info for the au!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically, Arti didn’t have pups for a while. She left her colony at a young age to adventure, and eventually joined the scavenger colony on top of 5p. There she met the Chieftain, and they fell in love. She ended up ruling beside him,

Their first kid was The Quandary. A scug-scav hybrid.

Then, they adopted two others - The Harmonic, a little scug who loved to sing and dance. They were a failed purposed organism; made with the idea of having wings, but the webbing never developed, leaving them with weird protrusions out of their paws. This leaves them with poor balance and mobility; and yet? They dance anyway. And The Messenger, an orphaned scav from far away. They’re inseparable with the Harmonic - the two have been wandering for a long time, keeping together. Strength in numbers, after all. They’ve been titled the messenger because they’ve traveled far, much like the messenger scugs before them - plus, maybe they just like telling people things.

^plus some fun worldbuilding

I’ve had this drawing in my head for a while but I could never get it to come out right. But finally! Here it is!

// RBS OVER LIKES //

[manyminded]

why are my two fav rw ships (regicide & piranha) so unpopular :( everyone draw art of them NOW

[its-the-sa]

i genuinely love how every scav king fight is either an hour-long ordeal where he mercilessly slaughters you 50 times in a row, or he's just instantly like

[churrout]

is this anything

[excessive-moisture]

but what if they kissed

[foxok-stuff]

Are you still taking Rain World requests? I could really use some happy Artificer X ScavKing, please.

I asked my friends what they should be doing, and they said "maybe arti could be attaching pearls to scavking's headpiece as he's wearing it?"

[thunder-wolf64]

Scav request:

Scav chief explaining taxes to arti (shes chief now and is regretting that decision)

Porl tax

[raintailed]

PLEASE i am CLAWING THE WALLS i gotta talk about regicide oh my god.

My headcanon artificer's story basically has her eventually fight and kill the scav king. The king respawns and Artificer's destroyed karma means she cant leave. She is also burned out on hatred, so to speak; now she is just exhausted.

And the king, who is actually pretty kind, decides that the best long-term solution to having a mass murderer trapped in your city is to pretty much declare a truce.

At first Arti is NOT happy about this arrangemenr but at least she isnt being actively hunted down anymore (this helps massively with her anxiety i'd imagine). She is still very hostile to anyone who gets too close to her den. She also has to duel a lot of scavs so they can basically get even with her for killing them (based on ideas from @its-the-sa).

Uhhh eventually Arti grows to trust the Scav King, which is a HUGE deal for someone like her. She sees herself and the King as equals (in battle, anyway). In turn, the King isn't afraid of what Artificer can do to him, but *is* afraid of what Artificer can and has done to his people.

Imagining it gets to the point where the King is able to like. Go wake up Artificer (any time before noon is early for Arti) to go to some political thing and Arti is just face down in her den going GRRRRRR. But the King knows they are just being grumpy and they won't actually hurt him. Theyre so different and yet they eventually get along so well...

ANYWAYS it is 1 am I should stop rambling for now

@the-real-obby has inflicted Artificer brain worms upon me and provided a hilarious concept:

[its-the-sa]

Okay that last ask you answered got me thinking, what if the time just before the fight where everyone assumes he's pointing at arti in fear or rage, what if he's offering his hand out for her to take it, to just drop the weapons and stop this madness together, a little gesture of kindness that wears arti down every time she sees it until she cant fight him anymore.

literally canon
