what would happen if prototype had a target on dogday lmao? i imagine catnap would obvs still kill him as per his god's order, but would he conflicted abt it or smth?:0

ok so

i kinda half said this in that last big writing, but catnap is a sort of vessel for the prototype (who is a demon in this au). when he uses the red smoke drug, it acts to lower catnap's mental defenses in order to let the prototype in just a little bit; letting the demon in helps the executioner do his job more efficiently by giving him a strength and stealth boost.

so when catnap is doing his executioner duties, he's about 3/4s conscious. the other 1/4 is power given to him by the prototype. that means that catnap is mostly conscious during his murders, and so he can actively choose who and how he's going to kill. given catnap's low empathy for most people, it isn't hard for the prototype to point him at someone and tell him to kill.

however, the prototype knows that there are certain people he shouldn't ask catnap to kill if he wants to keep the feline's unwavering loyalty; his adopted brother and parents are the big ones. and, over time, y/n becomes someone special as well.

should it ever come down to it...catnap would fight against the order to kill dogday. even if it's almost too late (i.e. he's let the prototype fully possess him), he'd still let his brother have the upper hand long enough for the dog to kill him. there's still enough of catnap left to allow himself to die so the ones he cares about are safe.

#i gotta fit some kinda good ending into this au #so the cat letting himself and his god die so that his family can live is the best option #he still killed a ton of people by this point tho #so it isn't really a redemption #sc college/slasher au

Sometimes I see a respected mutual in my notes and remember they follow me and I'm like. Should I apologize for what I'm doing here. But they did choose to be in my house

#respected mutuals i apologize #and yet #here you are

[semisolidmind]

Are dogday and catnap de slashers in the slasher AU? (I bet the rest of my Skittles that they are)

well you're losing half your skittles cause it's only cats who's the killer

big guy would never hurt anyone without a really good reason

[semisolidmind]

Hope you accept some fan art sketches (when I get the time, currently working my life away atm)

....perhaps i will

(fair, school has me in a chokehold as well)

So, in your college au, assuming catnap does end up murdering y/n, why? for what reason would the prototype ask for y/n's execution?, also how would dogday and the others feel? does dogday ever find out who murdered y/n or if he was even murdered? are they just reported missing? does catnap get away with it?, and if he doesn't and dogday ends up finding out, what's his reaction towards his brother's actions? Sorry if this was long I got questions and they need answers😭

ive been thinking about it, and i think that the prototype (which is a demonic entity in this au) wouldn't really have a good reason to command catnap kill y/n.

y/n is good to catnap. you'll see after i finally draw him, but cat is skinny. mans forgets to feed himself, and the red smoke drug throws his mindfulness and metabolism all outta wack. y/n, good friend that they are, reminds catnap to eat. they'll bring him food that they make. they let him "steal" food from their plate at lunch time. (dogday, being a good brother, does these things too, but it's kinda his job so it doesn't make as big of an impact).

the "angel" is keeping his executioner functioning when he can't, so the prototype shouldn't have a reason to want them dead. unless, perhaps, he thought that they were making the executioner soft. that's not the case (he does his job just fine regardless of any growing attachments), but if it were and catnap was slacking...

the prototype would take over. he'd have his acolytes send catnap a very high dosage of the red smoke drug, allowing the demon to take hold of him fully. catnap would black out.

the next morning, he startles awake in bed to the sound of his brother's cry of anguish. he goes into the kitchen to see dogday clutching his phone to one ear, hunched over and crying. the canid can't speak through his tears for a long while. catnap stands awkwardly, waiting for him to speak as the dread creeps up his spine.

catnap's heart stops with dogday's stuttered admission of what has him so upset; y/n is dead. the police found them this morning.

the feline says nothing, does nothing, but feels the sting in his eyes, tears on his face, and the impact of his brother's arms solidly embracing him.

why...why would the prototype do this? there was no reason to kill the angel, they hadn't done anything wrong, they weren't in the way, hadn't crossed him, there shouldn't have...

he doesn't understand.

when he goes to the bathroom later to freshen up, catnap notices the small flecks of blood under his claws. he feels like throwing up.

but he doesn't. he washes the blood away, and leaves the bathroom.

catnap remains as silent as he always has. he says nothing when he and dogday are inevitably questioned by the police (as two people who were close to y/n), the grief (and the prototype's voice) rendering him unable to even write out a response. they let him go, accepting his alibi. he was home all evening, of course.

he attends the funeral in a daze. he stands and watches the casket be lowered into the ground, far away from his body. he can still feel the fog of the prototype's influence hovering in the back of his mind.

for the first time in a long time, catnap's faith in his god is shaken.

———

dogday is never the same after y/n's death. the light in his eyes is gone. after the funeral, he isolates himself, only leaving to attend class and complete errands. he barely speaks to his friends, though they continue to visit him and offer their support.

eventually, each of the critters is murdered by catnap at the behest of the prototype. these murders are completed by a much colder and less caring catnap, who, after y/n's death, has no mercy left to spare (the prototype takes advantage of his vessels' grief to take further control of him).

dogday's reaction to each death becomes angrier and angrier.

he's wanted to find the killer ever since the string of murders started, but now he's searching with a single-minded purpose.

he gets better at wielding a pistol, better at wielding a hunting knife...he takes self defense and fighting classes. dogday slowly turns himself into a weapon.

dogday finally figures out where the cult is hiding. an abandoned mine system in a nature reserve a short drive away from town, converted into a "holy site" and the place where the cult sacrifices their victims. he drives out there to confront their executioner.

when he finds out that it's catnap, his own little brother...it's too late for sentimentality. his friends are gone. the love of his life is gone. countless others have lost their lives to this... this thing wearing his brother's skin.

at this point, the prototype has almost fully possessed catnap. the transference into the felines' body is almost complete, and during this time he is most vulnerable...but still incredibly powerful.

the fight between the dog and cat is climactic and bloody. a clash of claws, knives, and a struggle for dogday's gun. the forest floor beneath the struggle is spattered with blood, both men covered in open wounds.

it's a close battle, but catnap, despite being nearly fully under the prototype's influence, breaks the hold long enough to allow himself to be killed.

it's the least he can do, after all the trouble he's caused.

dogday pulls the trigger. a clean shot through the heart. killing catnap kills the prototype.

dogday glares down at the body that once housed his little brother. there is nothing of him in the battered corpse before him now... aside from the small, satisfied smile on his muzzle.

dogday finally allows himself to break down. he sobs over the many great losses he's suffered. but...but he has to get out of there. the cult members will be there any minute, and he can't be there when they do. he calls from a campsite phone booth to report catnap's body, and leaves it in the woods.

dogday does his best to recover.

months pass. with their god dead, activity from the cult peters out.

#this is a tragic turn for this story to take #this is why yn cant die first #i see this playing out like an old slasher movie since i am in that headspace recently #this stopped weird but i ran outta steam #sc college/slasher au

[semisolidmind]

do i have your permission to make a dogday bot on character ai using your “and they all lived” au and your art for it? 100% ok if not ofc 💛💛💛

also I loooooove your artttttt it’s so prettyyyyyy!! soft and warm :3

nah dude, i don't support ai in any capacity.

please don't use any concepts of mine for ai.

[semisolidmind]

you've made me such a fucking simp it's not even funny and my usually seemingly aromantic ass is screaming

heheheheh >:)

amazing what a lil mushy schmoopie love can do, innit?

#if theres one thing i vibe consistently with #its lovey dovey monsters

[semisolidmind]

I feel like I’ve been turned to the moral dark side by your dogday propaganda but I like it here so who cares

ALSO I FUCKING LOVE YOUR ART STYLE SO MUCH it’s so soft and squishy and warm (very positive adjectives) love very much🫶🫶🫶🫶

aw cmon, what's morally wrong about wanting to give a tragic character a better ending, and someone to love on top of that? he's cute to me, even if he is cut in half and canonically dead. who cares?

and thank you, that's one of my favorite compliments to receive for my art ;) squishy and warm heheh

#squishy and warm and occasionally covered in blood #like an organ or perhaps some gauze

[semisolidmind]

if catnap would steal a kiss from yn in your college au does that mean he and dogday would compete for yn 😭

hmmmm.....ideally they'd share, but i think that in the end, the cat's been so brainwashed by the cult that if his god was really, truly insistent that he kill y/n, there'd be no hesitation.

catnap likes y/n, a lot actually, but a recent crush can't undo years of mental and physical conditioning. it could lessen it, perhaps (he's much gentler with them than anyone else, more mindful of his dangerous body)...but in the end, there's likely nothing he could do to save them from himself.

(in a better world, y/n gets two monster husbands)

#my yns get more than one monster husband because its what they DESERVE

[semisolidmind]

Bro I’ve been here for ages the second slasher reminds me of Dj

it's the dreads ain't it

can't draw a character w dreads w/o yall thinkin it's DJ. poor guy.

[semisolidmind]

idk if the internet has finally rotted my brain, but dogday gives me subtle yandere vibes 😳

that's because i can't seem to help but write my leading fellas that way. even when i don't actually want them to be, they always end up just a liiiiittle bit yan-coded.

#its the DEVOTION #its the deep all encompassing LOVE #i cant get away from it
