The Overlapped AU [Aka Superhumans disguisted as Dinner Theater workers]

The Owners

The Managers (Engineer & the HR person)

The Waiters

The Security

The Performers (Wes is mostly on cleaning duty though)

The Kitchen staff (the others are usually tasked to help, though very few are actually trusted at all times to be there)

The Bartender and the Host

The Dishwashers

The Clerk & The Supplier

So this AU came to me upon a dream, and I just had to make it real...

The synopsis below:

The event of April 17th 1906 does happen, however instead of Charlie and Maxwell being kidnapped into the Constant, the Constant overlaps with the real world and spreads itself onto Earth.

Charlie and Maxwell in the process become corrupted and have to hide away temporarily. Both of them soon began to hear strange voices, source of which neither is quite sure, telling them, compelling them to hide the corruption's effect from the publicity, for the time being.

They come to a mutual realization they have to fix this mess somehow and hunt down any and all corrupted by the tome, by any means necessary.

(Maxwell still has codex umbra, but it is sealed shut for the time being until he's sure it won't spread more if Their influence. )

But the corruption didn't just appear out of nowhere, it's been leaking way long before Maxwell found the Codex, if to a less prominent extent.

Thus, in few years passing, they form a Dinner Theater, a rather inconspicuous establishment from the first glance. Very quickly they began "hiring" employees, which in reality means tracking down and blackmailing those who have been corrupted but not fully lost themselves to its effects, in order to hunt those who had.

Winona was against the idea at first, as she found out. But seeing the effects of corruption first hand, she quickly had a change of heart and integrated herself into Charlie's new environment.

Eventually they gathered a rather generous amount of people. Once a person's proven to be trustworthy to a point, they're give higher positions in the company.

However those who aren't, are likely to be shunned or "fired" which...you could probably guess what that means.

Many of these people gradually come to terms with the reality of their situation and accept their newfound purpose, being thankful that at least they still have a roof over their head and a warm meal, instead of being viewed as monsters or outcasts to the greater society.

(Wilson though, can't quite accept this notion. He keeps claiming that "this is just a big misunderstanding, I'm just a normal guy!" Yet the truth could be far from it.)

When Maxwell and Charlie hear of the danger looming, they immediately inform their "staff" of the matter. Those who are more experienced in combat come along to face whatever opponent may cross them, while those who aren't, stay behind, to be an additional aid or a medic in case the battle gets too intense.

Whenever any suspicion arises in the town about the shady business going on in that particular building, the two owners alongside their employees practically gaslight anyone and everyone into believing they're but the most regular entertainment center.

The characters who have either willingly or unwillingly lost their humanity, mostly in the physical sense, are given special devices constructed of Thulecite and bits of nightmare fuel (made by Winona, Wicker and the main two), which effectively hide away their true identity, or surpress the effects of their ailment.

There's also a few other people important to this story, especially the One, which even Charlie and Maxwell refer to as "The Boss", though what many most recent hires don't know, is that there's someone who's in a position much higher than the owners themselves, controlling their every move.

Correlating to that, another person, or rather, a set of people per se, working for a much different cause. Though most of them are "people" in only a visual sense of the word.

And while, there might be someone inside the well-known around town diner, who just might be more than what appears on the surface, literally and metaphorically this time.

AU STUFF BECAUSE I CAN AND IT'S GETTING KIND OF BORING SEEING THE SAME CHARACTERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!

Willow is supposed to be swapped with Wickerbottom and Warly ideally is swapped with Walani. I say "supposed" because it doesn't really makes sense, Like... they're the same but not really

These too are probably the ones with the most background unlike the ones I still have to design... I think

Anyway uhhh

AU STUFFFFF

#Yes I ship them. FIGHT ME!!! (please don't or I'll cry) #I firmly believe “swap Au” isn't that good of a name but whatever. I've nothing else #are you guys tired of this Au yet?? #dst willow #dst warly #dont starve #dont starve together #dst #dst au #dst swap au

[hoodiecatdoodles]

I decided to challenge myself with using only three color palettes and no line art. I think it came out pretty good!

Okok so new stupid idea for an AU

What if Y/N won an enormous amount of money at the lottery but after one year they have to stay an undisclosed range of time at the hospital because they continue to collapse and the doctors don't have any idea of what's the metter.

What if Y/N is tired of no answers from the doctors and being in the same room of other really ill people (because it's not good for their mental state to see them eventually die in front of them) and decides to use the money they won to "book" a room at the most advanced and famous hospital of their side of the world: Faz Co Hospital.

What if in said hospital they offer an emotional aid figure as a part of the basic therapy and you have to choose from a list full of sentient robots a companion.

What if you choose the "Celestial duo" (because lmao it is a Y/N x DCA AU) and spend a lot of time with them.

And then emotional damage begins.

#like they don't know if Y/N will live so they try to act friendly but not to be to attached #they fail #or Y/N thinking that the two bots are so gentle with them because it's only their job to make you feel loved #Moon failing to start an emergency procedure because they panic and spiral at the tought of you disappearing #Sun beign more and more touchy #Y/N being super touch starved blushing for everything #hhhhhhhh this au gives me the fault in our stars and white as milk red like blood vibes #still choosing if Y/N will live #and there is Dr. Micheal #DCA AU #sun/moon x reader #sundrop #moondrop

ooo i love it (viciously despise) when my brain wants to do five different things at once, it's So funny (i need to bite concrete)

#do i want to write? draw? worldbuild? character build? storybuild? #if i want to write What do i want to work on #original stuff? wh? aus? something else entirely? #if i want to draw what do i want to scribble? #sundown? indulgent stuff? wh? dragon doodles? environment practice #if i want to worldbuild which world do i want to think about #which characters! which plots! I JUST DONT KNOW~ #i feel like my brain has been presented with many cakes and i dont know where to start so i just sit & starve <3 #maybe i should just... watch something and crochet? #I JUST! DON'T! KNOW! #i have two hours before i should get to bed... what to do... what to do... #absolutely unprompted #i have much interest in too many things at once! #maybe i'll respond to some asks... #i have a lot of them... over a hundred... i want to cut that back a little #but a lot are theory based so hmmmm idk if i have the brain for it #god i want to. i Want To.

making art for my own AUs again smh

this one is loosely based after the epilogue of my fic, wherein william gets taken in by the circus instead of running off to san francisco. i do intend to write a proper continuation of it one day, though the motivation (and encouragement) seems to escape me for the moment

here's the trio showing off a part of their joint acts, in any case

edit: a huge thank you to @/inhumanrobot and @/glitterfr33ze for helping me with the perspective!

Henlo (•-•)💦💦

I saw an image on Pinterest and couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to draw a pairing with this it was so difficult to choose

So... Honestly, these two are so pure it's ridiculous 🥺🥺

There were other things I wanted to draw (angles and extras), but my time is a little tight and I don't have energy anymore (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

Some random sh□t about the whole thing

- I kept thinking about some weird kind of UA where they were in the same school but in separate classes, so Max visits him along with the others

- I thought I could swap the two's positions, but playing with Kai's feelings is more fun ❀

And as I spent almost six hours sketching and coloring, I created almost an entire fanfic, like:

- Kai and Hilary are class leaders (and that's why the whole school thinks they're dating or something)

- Instead of beyblading there is some other sport like soccer or basketball

Bonus with little marks because I like it

And manga page (kind fail)

Also, reference for anyone interested:

#Beyblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #high school au #max mizuhara #max tate #kai hiwatari #kaimax #Kai is so stupidly obvious #and Max's gentle smiles are kind of mean and don't fool me #I'm sorry your author is a rareship #I'm always starving

[unpopulargoose]

My ass is back at it again making aus (I can’t be fucking stopped)

The main gist of this is WX taking over the throne after Maxwell and becoming King very easily Accepts Their power and all that and starts fucking with the world :3

Wormwood’s deal is a secret for now :3c
