Thinking abt reworking Uni a bit. I do love Uni conceptually and as a character, but I've become increasingly uncomfortable with their story in the state that it's in, mostly because of how completely it removes Aris from the equation. I'm hoping to not completely scrap Uni, but I'm going to start brainstorming ways to also include au Aris as an actual character that's involved in au antag stuff instead of just a backstory character for Uni

#rat rambles #oc posting #eternal gales #my main problem with fully killing au aris is that it just feels like. rly uncomfortable to me to remove her agency like that #again Im hoping to keep uni around in at least some form but I rly think I need to prioritize au aris' agency #mmmmaybe it could be like. uni initially was stuck in her body but after they got involved in au antag stuff au aris managed to get back to #the helm of things and has to deal with the concequences of her death and of uni's actions while also wrangling uni themself #this could be a decent comprimise since itd both let uni have their character arc while also giving au aris her own #itd also allow for me to dodge my previous problem with just not knowing how to make an antagonist version of aris that isnt boring #since she wouldnt necesarily need to be even slightly antagonistic for this to work #buttttt. this would require uni to still be in the drivers seat for at least a lil while to undergo their initial stuff #that might not sound like too much at first thought but I know in practice thatd still be a good way into the story #I thinkkkkk shed still have room to breath since this is a chonky story already but I still worry #maybe I should work on further developing au aris' backstory and such first since that might give me more ideas #I have a handful of vague ideas but rly the only set in stone thing is that shes abt a year or two younger than main universe aris #the main decision I have to make is if her universe will be more canon adjacent or if I get wild with it #I am tempted to go more sci fi ngl #plus thatd give me an excuse to dive more into my bird aliens + maybe even include the staliens in her lore #idk Ill sleep on it and hopefully have more ideas tomorrow #either way thisll probably take at least a lil while of brainstorming and plotting things out so Ill try to not rush myself on it too much
