Ok I feel confident enough to finally introduce something I've been working on for a while now: an Ultrakill Battle of the Bands AU!!

The basic synopsis is that V1, rather than fueled by blood, is instead fueled by music! Following the sounds of music they're led to a mysterious elevator that takes them to Hell. After riling up the Limbo layer with their electrifying guitar playing, Heaven, specifically Gabriel, considered to be the best guitarist out of all of Heaven and Hell, take notice and force V1 to compete in Hell's Battle of the Bands competition; many bands that come from each layer of Hell partake in intense, musical battle in order for one to receive salvation from Heaven!

I'm very excited to introduce more stuff about this AU! I'll post more concepts of bands, characters, and lore soon :D

In the meantime, here are some current lore stuff I have come up with so far below (+ Altar of Apostasy drawing w/out text below):

• Gabriel is apart of a band formed by the Council; being the most prominent member known for his unbeatable guitar skills, Gabriel grabs the hearts and attention of every husk and angel -- much to the dismay of the other council band members, who often get left out of the fanfare

• There has been no winners for the Battle of Bands (there have almost been winners, but they were struck down by the Council) due to the Council constantly winning these competitions

• V2 plays the bass guitar -- she learned how to play it from Mirage, who at one point performed music with V2 (she gave up playing, however, because she found it pointless to compete in a competition that was rigged from the start, and decided to pursue college instead)

• V2 became a crowd controller/concert security for when battles get intense (husks and machines can get very rowdy, especially when their favorite bands end up losing) at some point, having lost their passion in playing music. However, when V1 pops up and V2 versed them once (this results in their bass guitar getting destroyed), V2 becomes so determined to up-one V1 -- she even goes around Hell trying to find parts to repair her bass guitar with. After losing another music battle to V1, V2 decides to team up with V1 and re-enter the Battle of Bands again (her passion for music having been rekindled)

• V1 makes a big name for themselves ever since they shook up the entirety of Hell from the Limbo layer in their first (unofficial) battle against the Swordmachine's band (made up of a regular Swordmachine, Tundra, and Agony); now every husk tries to battle V1 (while other husks have become hardcore fans of V1)

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

PALEDRIVER - "They say there is a point -- one that *I* have not crossed -- in the pale superdeep. If you stray too far off course on the U41-A, or in Lomonossov's Land... where every step you take is one step further from home, no matter the direction."

PALEDRIVER - "It's a point you cannot come back from. Your mind becomes so radiant with the past -- there is a flip." She flicks the ash from her cigarette. "Instead of writing, it erases memory. Nearing some kind of..." She shakes her head. "Indescribable *finale*."

PALEDRIVER - "Maybe you've been down the *Motorway South?*" She looks at her cigarette, it's almost out. She has swallowed it hungrily. Then at you...

YOU - "The Motorway South?"

PALEDRIVER - "It's a story us longhaulsmen tell -- longhaulsmen, *xerife*, not *paledrivers* -- way beyond the established pale that's lit by radio frequencies. Where it goes silent."

PALEDRIVER - "And dark. And the process begins. Erasure. Kilometre by kilometre. In any direction. The Motorway South is a road you cannot come back from."

CONCEPTUALIZATION - 'In the centre of this town there's a ghostly motorway', she sang.

YOU - "'It takes all the people where they want to stay.'"

PALEDRIVER - "'They say I've been away on a kind of holiday'..." She replies, silently.

YOU - "What is at the end of the Motorway South?"

PALEDRIVER - "No one knows what's at the *end...*" She takes the cigarette out of the cigarette holder and extinguishes it. "I've only glimpsed the beginning."

PALEDRIVER - "I've only felt it in the distance. When I was a child..." She goes silent, her eyes close and her hands shake. "A child. Rowing on the lake."
