What would the shorts be in your AU? I think it be a live demonstration of how someone (Mr meteor) is integrated into the hivemind and how it's "safe" and "the right thing to do"- basically propaganda. but things keep messing up

wander's not like. super public with the cult the way hater is with his empire in the show, so i don't know whether he'd be airing something like that across the galaxy. hater's got like. totally negative charisma, especially when he's being recorded, and yet he continues recording himself, and i think that's a trait meteor would still share with him. mr meteor is very much like metroman of megamind to me, also, where he quits his life of fame & glory to become a nobody, but he still has that streak of like. craving the kind of attention a rockstar gets as opposed to the superhero/king treatment.

so i imagine the shorts would be like. meteor's vlogs on his youtube or something. and he's starting a series called Inside Planet Yonder or whatever where he sets up a camera in an unassuming place and does little dances for the camera until he gets caught. like a prank show or something, but very benign and mildly annoying as opposed to antagonistic. this does require the shorts to take place before wander is redeemed, but honestly, the timeline in this au is so scrambled when you try to put it up against the show itself (which is already crammed into two very short seasons) anyway

#ask #lord hater #mr meteor #swap wander #shorts #txt #rambling #wander over yonder #swap au #i fear if wander's cult was super public like that it would be too reminiscent of like. the sharing from animorphs #wander's really into like. person to person connection Despite his susceptibility to advertisements and trends. like in the show wander is #only famous by mistake and hearsay #he's just so niceys that people tend to remember him and talk about him fondly. as opposed to hater who is famous by his own design #and i think thats something meteor would pursue as well to a similar degree of success/failure depending on how you look at it #any press is good press i guess but he's like. particularly incompetent #also wander is kind of a little old man to me . like he can use technology but he also has a very basic understanding of most tech from #like the last hundred years or so. hand him a phone he'll be able to use it but he will also ask you increasingly bewildering questions #like How do i scroll. What is a Battery level. So this is like a book with extra steps right. Golly how do they fit all those #vidya games in such a small package! back in my day #anyway. sylvia is the tech girl of the duo like she fixes spaceships she can deal with computers like nothing ANNNNYway
