opens your askbox and gives you a little forehead kissie /p i have a question...... how did u make ur au? <- wants to make an au of its own but is struggling so hard without making new characters or taking ideas from other media (eg. taking inspo from.. homestuck.. or something) -grant

Ehehehe i love you pal /p

In complete honesty, everything from the start was taken directly from other content. Whether it be things from actual canon, things from other au’s or just other designs. Some of it, mostly colour pallets, were even directly taken from my partners designs from our old au. The au was, in fact, originally ONLY designs. I made them because I was bored. It started with Allison and Tom (because I had just remembered that canonically Allison is blonde) and escalated in this little pocket universe that we talk about every day.

He and I spend a lot of our time roleplaying in our Insta chat, so from there things developed on their own. Almost every serious thing about the au started as a joke, because that’s what I love about Rat. He makes me laugh. I make myself laugh too, but it’s often because I know it’s something we’ll laugh at together. Jacob and Norman being as close with each other as they are started as a joke. Joey having feelings for Tom started as a joke. Susie being ridiculously good at making stew started as a joke.

The CTC au is a fucking joke and that’s everything I love about it.

Take whatever you want from anywhere and twist it your own way. Somewhere in the depths of our chats we’ve got an Alice in Wonderland au. Silly superhero au based on a Tiktoker’s S grade E grade villain content. An au based on types of gore that we spun on a wheel to make designs out of. Make whatever the hell you want out of anything you want, the universe won’t mind.

I apologise for rambling, I’m eating fried rice and I am very in love with my idiot best friend boyfriend. I think it’s kinda poetic in a way, though
