#that could be really fun

[birdmitosis]

I had a thought that does not make sense

Slay the Princess oc

Like that seems fun but what would that be?

Another voice? A voice for the princess? Some other magical third thing?

So many possibilities yet none at all it feels like

HONESTLY I HAVE THOUGHT THIS BEFORE. It really does seem more difficult for this fandom than most others I've been in! That said, there are a few possibilities that I did come up with after a bit of thought:

Another form of the Princess, either a new Chapter II form (that either branches into an already-existing Chapter III form -- like how both The Spectre and The Nightmare go into The Wraith, both The Tower and The Adversary go into The Fury, both The Beast and The Witch go into The Wild, etc. -- or that comes with its own new Chapter III form, so like two OC Princesses for the price of one!) or a new Chapter III form that branches off from one of the existing Chapter II Princesses.

Another Voice for the Protagonist! Either linked to the above (so a second or third OC for the price of one...) or some Voice that's an odd circumstance like... if you manage to sort of "break the game" by somehow getting to The Wild from The Tower, how in the world would that even happen and what new Voice might come along with that?

In a complete AU situation where the Protagonist and the Princess switch places, if the Princess gets any voices in her own head -- one or several -- what would they be like if they aren't simply identical (or close to identical) to the canon ones that the Protagonist has? Or if the Protagonist takes on other forms, what would they be like? (In this case I'd be tempted to simply tweak the Princess's forms into Voices and vice-versa somehow, and I'm not sure if those would count as OCs or just heavily AU versions, but it'd be very possible to OC it I think!)

In a complete AU situation where the (pre-)Narrator split the universal forces into more than just two beings. Who might exist other than the Long Quiet and the Shifting Mound? What roles might they play in this scenario? This one might actually be the most complicated option and necessitate the most finagling and worldbuilding.

Just People Out In The World. Sure, you could go OC with "Who was the person who made the Narrator/the Echoes? What was his story?" but like. What are the regular people like before he did this/while this was all going on? Or what are the people like in the new world that the Long Quiet creates if you go with the ending where they do kill the Shifting Mound? Or what kind of people do the Protag and the Princess meet when they leave together -- how do people react to the Stranger version of the Princess in that ending? I think there's a lot of room for play in here, though it's a... less usual and maybe less "interesting" kind of OC in the sense that it's entirely removed from the adventures going on in the game itself.

Ohhhh! Look at this! A hurt/comfort fic exchange?! I haven't participated in a fic exchange in years. Seems a lot of cool fandoms are in there! Hmm.

Forgot I'd made this, like, two weeks ago, soooo.... here!

As can no doubt be told, I like eyes and tendrils and just general eldritch iconography and characteristics.

So here's another lineless, poster-like piece of my boy Lou. (Sort of)

I feel like if humans swallowed rocks like birds do to help grind up food we'd have so much fun with it.

Can just imagine all the girlies on tiktok going "I know this is a bit controversial but I honestly love using limestone as a gastrolith. Not only can you readily forage it but they are just so pretty when smoothed out after regurgitating them"

and then all the comments would be like " girl 😭 😭 calcite dissolves in stomach acid!! Just use quartz if you want a pretty gastrolith like 💀"

do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.

poor Liu Qingge is really going through it in the succubus extra, he just had to go and get a crush on the most oblivious man alive

"Younger than me... we had a rocky start... completely devoted.... often together.... saved each other..... peerless beauty..... outstanding talent.... noble blood.... totally in love with me...... Wow what a weird love fortune! Definitely doesn't match anyone in my life!" says Shen Qingqiu while actively sitting next to one of the two men it perfectly describes

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

Ellie and Raven have a complex relationship

So! This is an AU where Dan is Trigon, and Ellie joined the Teen Titans. It's not really a Story, but I thought it was funny.

...

Robin: I have a Question for the two of you.

Ellie: What's up?

Raven: Hm?

Robin: You guys call eachother Sisters, Cousins, and in one case you called eachother Aunt and Niece. What's your exact relation?

Ellie: Well that's tricky. See, my Dad is the King of the Infinite Realms, and his true name is Danny. Raven's dad is Trigon, but his true name is Dante.

Robin: And are Danny and Dante brothers?

Raven: No, not technically. See, Dante is an Evil Alternate Future Version of Danny, so they are technically the same Person. But then Dante came to the past, got beaten by Danny, and got shoved into a Mortal body for a while.

Ellie: If that was all, they we could just call eachother Sisters or Cousins. Our Dad's are technically the Same Person, but they consider eachother Brothers.

Raven: Except Ellie isn't a normal daughter.

Robin: What? How?

Ellie: I'm technically a Clone if Danny, not his Daughter. So I'm simultaneously Raven's Sister, Cousin, and Parent since I'm a Copy of a version of her Dad, but I could also be considered her Aunt since Danny and I called eachother siblings before we decided I was his Daughter.

Raven: So Ellie is my Sister/Cousin/Aunt/Mom/Dad.

Robin: ...what the hell.
