Double the trouble with TWO mastermind aus!

Hi! This is the ask blog for the Xanvid Mastemind AU by @smudgesticksgonnasmudgingflip and the Whace Mastermind AU @ccrisntok

I go by many names but I'll likely refer to myself as Snek! And I use she/they pronouns! You can ask me stuff too or something! I'll likely be either a little doodle of either myself or snakevid lol ( @smudgesticksgonnasmudgingflip ) I'm using red because why not???

I go by C or Chris, He/They, and I made the Whace dudes. Ask them whatever (nothing explicitly sexual, I myself am a minor, so keep that in mind.) You can ask actual serious lore for their stories/relationship, random bullshit, and of course silly crossover highjinx with the Xanvid guys. This is for fun! (I'm gonna talk in blue because that's Whit's main color.) My artsyle looks really fucking different bc I haven't posted on main in... months... but hey, here I am!

You can ask Whit and Ace stuff in my au exclusively, because other characters aren't changed much from cannon. You can ask about opinions on/relationships with canon characters though, and stuff like that.

Characters might end up being a little ooc at least for mine and I apologize for that - Snek

We might take a while to answer and I also apologize for that! (Both of us get burnt out really easily)

Also my style changes a lot as well as posing is hard so my drawing may not be that great...

This will be the only post to have the actual drdt tags and stuff just to spread this around!

Rules for asks:

No NSFW please! Although... You can simp for the MM Xanvid designs and stuff- I sure am /hj - Snek

You can ask some of the non mastermind characters from each au possibly! And at different points in time of them!

Maybe we'll have some asks where even their universes get merged!

You can do asks that involve like... Headpats or possible situations or something- at least for the Xanvid au and stuff! (this is chill with me too 👍)

For the Xanvid mastermind au though... There are five people you can mainly ask! Xander, David, MonoTV (maybe a humanoid version if you want that), Teruko (perhaps you'll find something out about her??), and ??? (They'll be a secret at first but maybe you'll get hints to who they are if you ask enough questions to them- and maybe I'll then post the full lore-)

I'll give you the killing order of the Xanvid au if you ask! :D - Snek

If you want to look at full concept art and stuff first, they are on our main profiles if you search for them on there!

Here's a drawing from Snek:

heres some example drawings from Chris:

also heres the post with all the mm! whace lore

have fun sending questions, and we'll see you guys with some answers !

Mastermind Whace duo ?!

title says it all, lol. spoilers!

(more developed version of this au)

(ace still had his heart-attack, he was revived w a defibrillator)

the designs aren't anything too creative... this is more of a concept sketch then a real au rn!

there's basically no lore here yet, but uh... idk... ace feels doomed and wants others to feel the same way, whits lack of companionship leads him to hate other people, blah blah Mai set them up together and then died blah blah i'm sure some dramatically fucked up shit happens, who knows!

credit to @a-blog-for-kat for inspiring this with their post! these two aren't exactly the same as what their post purposed, but there's def inspo taken! check 'em out!!

[yourlocalderp]

with all the mm! ace and whit stuff going on i decided to draw this while half conscious and no cohesive plot

also designs belong to @acethehorseishere and @talkativeanonymous respectfully go look at their art and join us in the brainrot

too many ass shots good for fanservice but bad rating wise

imagine if all the masterminds had that monokuma mindset from the dr1 anime like you can excuse killing people off but not slutty slut slut stuff

oh yeah bonus doodle

they're so silly

[fanganfessions]

I love how everyone just collectively agreed on mm!whace

.

[a-blog-for-kat]

Earlier I made a post about MM!Whace pair and here's some ideas

Spoilers underneath for drdt ofc

Ace focuses more on all the brute strength parts of the killing game, like making sure everything is running well and lifting equipment while Whit makes sure all the motives bring the most despair possible.

Their relationship is one-sided hatred on Aces' side, and Whit wanting to be his friend around others, but when they're alone, Whit will shower Ace with as much affection as he can

Whits panicked Sprite in episode 16 because of the fact that he wouldn't be able to get to Ace fast enough if everyone crowded the elevator. He didn't care about Levi's well-being at all- he knew Levi would be fine.

Right after Ace's "execution," Whit desperately used the defibrillator on his dead boyfriend and was able to save Ace. Obviously, he'd fail as a mastermind if one of his own died in an execution he designed.

Uhh ill make more later !! :D

Whit definitely brags about having an execution designed for everyone. Ace is the one who actually sets it up, though.

... yeaahh, Ace definitely projects his ideals of his friend Taylor onto Whit. It's not the best but also not the worst..

Oh, they dye each other's hair. Very silly and cute of them.

[acethehorseishere]

Opinions on Xanacevid? (Or just Acevid/Xanace if you like those better)

Fuck it let's do all three

Xanacevid: it's fine? Honestly I don't really enjoy poly ships most of the time (not that there's anything wrong with them, I just really enjoy the exclusivity aspect of romantic relationships and that kinda doesn't work with polyamory that well? I don't know if that makes sense) but in Xanacevid's specific case, Ace just kinda feels haphazardly thrown in at the last minute? "And Bumblebee!" kinda shit. I genuinely don't think Xanvid would waste their energy on Ace if they had each other already.

Xanace: I don't really think about Xander. Like I could not care about him any less. I don't hate him, but that's probably worse for him because I genuinely forget he exists sometimes and when I remember him it's because David is being annoying talking about his dead boyfriend for the nth time. You can see how me not caring about one of the two members of the ship could affect my feelings about it. It's inoffensive, I'm not gonna scoff at it when I see it, but Xander for me is like a black hole that sucks all the enjoyment out of anything he is in. Xanace just is.

Acevid: Honestly it's probably the ship I enjoy the most out of this roster and I think that says more about the kind of person I am than any words could. They fucking hate each other but get some alcohol in their systems and they are making out sloppy style against the wall. It actually used to be my second fave Ace ship (Acevi number one always) but then the mastermind aus made Whace shoot up to second place out of nowhere. Third place is still good though, I think. I just think Ace should get degraded a little (the fun way).

ex of art on my side:

plus a reminder of who these guys are if you forgot

[ccrisntok]

Your Masterminds, Whit Young, and Ace Markey! (mm! whace au)

(Spoilers lol)

what normal fellas ahahahahaha (I have poured my entire soul into these two there is nothing left of me)

A basic summary of their relationship:

Whit has spent like, over a year manipulating Ace into being complacent in his plans. In his own eyes, Ace is a sorta-stupid lacky, who he's constantly love-bombing to keep obedient. Although, he is a bit glad for the company... it was sorta empty when Ace was "dead" and they couldn't really talk. And maybe Ace almost dying from his fake execution was a bit disturbing. But he's sure its nothing! (He fell in love with him like a moron.)

Ace has fully fallen in love with Whit. He's not happy about it, but it happened. As a result, he's basically ruined any semblance of his own morality, just so he doesn't lose Whit, or the affection he knows is mostly performative. He's more than happy to kill his fuck-face classmates, after a... bit of prodding, and honestly, he'd do anything Whit asked at this point, even die. He'll still complain about it, though.

i tried to be as original as humanly possible, but I'm def giving credit to @talkativeanonymous, @acethehorseishere, and @a-blog-for-kat all for inspiring these two in one way or another (esp. a-blog-for-kat lol).

anyway there's the art, here's the promised lore. warning for like a million words. I'm serious. It's 1,400 words. you can stop here i don't blame you.

also sorry for the odd looking bullet points, didn't realize you couldn't have gaps lol!

This au operates on a probably un-canon assumption that I pulled out of my ass. That is that Mai Akasaki is both a student in the class of 27, and that she is the "time loop" student. She is usually a part of the killing game, but she isn't this time, for reasons I'll explain in a sec.

This specific loop, Mai is attempting to dissuade the (usual) mastermind from wanting to start a killing game in the first place. That mastermind is Whit Young.

She goes about this by trying to curb Whit's main reason for his descent into despair, his resounding loneliness, by giving him championship. Charles hasn't softened up to the others in any regard yet. But that wasn't the main reason, unbenouced to Mai.

In this loop, and this loop alone, Mai sets Whit and Ace up to be friends. She hopes they can help each other, since they usually end up more or less alone in their school life.

Surprisingly, it works. They get along decently well, although a codependency starts to develop on Ace's side.

Around this time, Whit takes up an internship at XF Future, which Mai doesn't realize. He innocently wants to explore other job options, "Matchmaking" not really being a stable career forever.

Obviously FX Future isn't a normal Tech Company. Whit starts to change, in a barely noticeable fashion, the longer he works there.

Ace notices Whit's contacts start looking a lot more vibrant after Whit takes a couple weeks off school for a "company trip." He thinks it's... sort of pretty.

(Whit's time at XF Future showed him a side of humanity he didn't realize existed. Insane levels of greed, using the concepts of "ultimates" to guide a stupid pubic where the Government wanted them, generally a dystopia. It feeds into his existing detachment from humanity, until he hits a breaking point, setting his sights on ending the "Ultimates" concept by killing the newest class in the public eye, including himself.)

(XF Future develops a new sort of technology, prosthetic "eyes" that basically turn you into a living remote control, able to connect to an entire building if its connected via a computer system. Security cameras, doors, fucking air conditioning- everything.

(Whit offers himself as the test dummy, and it goes perfectly.)

Anyway, Mai decides to talk to Ace, since she's starting to realize he's becoming a bit... softer after hanging out with Whit so much? And hopes like, for once, he'll actually accept help for his mountain of problems.

He doesn't take this conversation very well.

Mai, with knowledge from dozens of loops, accidentally brings up an extremely traumatic event, simply mentioning the name "Tyler" once.

In a blinding mix of rage and horror at Mai's knowledge of the event, that Ace has literally never even spoken about in this timeline, Ace shoves her away from him.

She falls backwards, and splits her head on a desk, killing her instantly.

Ace, in a horrified frenzy, calls Whit, literally his only friend.

Whit shows up. Ace expects him to freak the fuck out, call the cops, or something like that... But he doesn't.

Whit simply tells him they were going to hide the body together, not even remotely caring about Mai's death.

yeah that's a little fucking weird, and its terrifying, but going to jail is scarier sooo Ace goes along with it!

After this, Whit wraps Ace into uncharacteristically cruel pranks against some of their classmates and others at Hopes Peak, oftentimes resulting in physical injury.

He acts like these are completely normal and funny, while Ace is both freaked out by it, and sort of enjoys enacting pain on people he didn't like.

Along the way, Whit notices Ace starting to fall for him. Horrible news for Ace, since Whit plays into those emotions by becoming much more physically and emotionally affectionate. Which he doesn't enjoy, like, at all... not a bit...

Whit convinces Ace to assist him in greater and greater acts of violence until Whit just straight up kills someone (not a classmate, a stranger.)

Ace is of course tied into everything way too deep to stop now, and after all this... he doesn't really want to. So he stays as Whit's accomplice for months, up until Whit's weirdo behavior arrives at the idea of the killing game. He references the "First Killing Game", which Ace had never heard of.

The idea is a bit intense for Ace, but at that point, he didn't have anything beyond Whit. If it took this to stay with him... He'd do it. Even if in the end, they both were going to die.

So they get to work!

Ace had been taking engineering classes at Hope's Peak in hopes of getting out of jockeying, and he'd helped his family build sheds and shit since he was a kid, so he focused on the construction and executions.

Whit wired the building an all-encompassing computer system he could control, as well as stealing "Mono-TV" from XF Future, a robot he can fully control to be the "host" of the game.

He also steals the "mind wiping" technology from XF Future. It's weirdly easy to steal stuff from this company, hm? It's almost like they aren't protecting it...

Whit also uses another piece of experimental biological technology... on Ace.

A screen connected to his brain, a lottt less invasive than Whit's eye surgery. It doesn't impact Ace mentally, it just gives him the ability to produce visible projections for easy construction, communicate with Whit remotely, (and give Whit a way to always know what Ace's condition.)

The screen is unclipped when the game starts, but the brain implant is still connected to Whit, so he can detect Ace's condition.

After kidnapping the class of 27 and wiping their memories... It all starts. A killing game, streamed live to the entire nation.

Whit and Ace start off as a part of the class, interacting with the others like normal, a pretty decent show. Things go roughly as planned, putting everyone in the positions Whit wanted them. Untilll... chapter 2.

Ace gets his ass jumped, and almost dies prematurely. This is fine, Whit privately makes sure the wounds properly cleaned, but it does fill Whit with an... ominous feeling.

Ace still kills Arei, a part of the plan, and gets "executed", so he can more easily upkeep the executions and such behind the scenes.

After the screen playing the fake execution turns off, Whit checks to make sure Ace didn't get injured in his running around... but can't detect anything.

At all.

Ace's heart wasn't beating.

He actually, seriously, had a fucking heart attack.

(Ace's heart attack was for a combination of reasons. Firstly, his heart was actually in pretty bad condition as a result of his eating disorder, something Whit had figured was "over" by now. It wasn't!)

(Second, in that moment, the idea that maybe, just maybe, Whit could have been double-crossing him came to Ace. What if Whit loaded the guns? What if Ace's use was done, and Whit was finally getting rid of him? It was terrifying because he could die, and terrifying because... It'd make sense. It was all that ever happened to him.)

So he had a heart attackkk lameeeeee

This makes Whit tweak the fuck out, internally. (lol pretend his spooky ass sprite happens AFTER the execution, not before. shh its all made up its all pretend)

After Levi gets taken to the infirmary, Whit drops Charles off at his room as quickly as he can, then fucking BOLTS IT to a hidden passageway in his room to the like... Mastermind area, with the execution chamber.

Whit manages to resuscitate Ace in time, barely. And even after that, he's in pretty bad condition. But he's conscious and mobile.

Whit gets him as comfortable as he can, and after spending the night, he sort of... has to leave. He does some tweaks to Ace's brain screen thing, creating a functional heart monitor that Ace (and he) can watch.

As often as he can, Whit sneaks off to the Mastermind area at night to make sure Ace doesn't fucking die in his sleep. But Ace gets... decently better quickly, and returns to his duties overseeing the killing game.

Whit still visits almost every night to make sure Ace wakes up, which he can't really explain to himself. Ace was... supposed to be disposable anyway. Why would it matter if he died?

Anyway yeah the rest of the game happens. No clue there.

In the end, Whit and Ace come out as masterminds (happy pride).

I have a comic planned for how the end goes, soooo... that's it!

holy fuck! my fingers! hi the whole 2 people who made it down this far... uh... did you like my lore.....? do you want me dead now for having you read 1,400 words of two evil homsexuals...? 😅 love you thank you im sorry.

[rosakuma]

I hope my plan of spreading mm! Whace propaganda is working. They would both slay together and be so funny with their dog(MonoTV). Plz I need them to kiss

Idk if this would be considered a sin or not in the fandom, but is it wrong of me to think that mm!Whit and mm!Ace should kiss and make out? I just think it be funny if they’re both the masterminds and being the most unserious villain couple. Can we make mm! Whace a thing?

.

[ccrisntok]

The Beginning of the End.

(blood and death tw)

I don't feel like describing the lore here, but here is the first major plot-point in the Mastermind Whace au. (There are reasons for everyone's weird ass behavior in this I promise)

You can ask questions if you wanna, I'll answer 100% of them! I'll also be making a very long lore-drop post soonish, plus refs, all that stuff. I have been cooking this au man (even if its destined to flop... sigh...)

[a-blog-for-kat]

I've seen MM!Ace and MM!Whit. But guys.

MM!Whace au. Just dual masterminds. Guys they could be gay listen to me. No don't leave listen-

[ccrisntok]
