#brainworm infestation

[whaledocboi]

the asoiaf au in my head is funny as hell, bcos imagine, ava, an orphan, turns out to be the bastard of some targaryen, accidentally claims a dragon (she be in situations) and lilith, who's famously from a noble house, the daughter of a targaryen and couldnt get a dragon her whole life learns this and now she's just sitting there thinking "well, great. im gonna kill everybody in this room and then myself."

#i have a lot on my mind about this #brainworm infestation #warrior nun asoiaf au

playing pinterest roulette and seeing what AUs i can make up based on the pics (part 3 of ???)

Classical Music AU: Max is second chair at the London Contemporary Orchestra - a newer but well-respected group lauded for their fresh approach to music, marketing, and sponsors. Max’s meteoric ascent looks to continue with first chair Seb Vettel's departure, which is coming up in a year.

That is, until the LCO bring in a shock contender, Charles Leclerc. Leclerc is a traditionalist and highly marketable classical violinist, with a star-studded CV including the Paris Conservatory, and a star-making stint at the Berlin Philharmonic.

Charles's working style is also a problem. He's warm in a way that Max is not, understands music in a way that's fundamentally different to Max, and he builds an easy rapport with Vettel from the start (Max's jealousy has nothing to do with it.)

As the season winds on, Max and Charles continue to clash about everything. Playing styles (speed and correct interpretation), the relevancy of classical music (Max is all for moving the genre forward and bending the rules, Charles cares about deference to old ways), and even a loud argument in the caf about whose name gets to be written first in the program ("do not push me down the list", one of them says. The marketing team eventually agrees to write them both on the same line to reflect equal status).

This continues until the LCO asks them to work on a special project, composing a score for a new indie movie. It's both musicians’ first foray into cross-medium production, and the LCO thinks it wouldn't hurt if the soundtrack won a couple of awards too. Max and Charles reluctantly accept the project, knowing the first chair position is the prize if they can be the star contributor. It doesn't matter that there's only one first chair position, because each is convinced that they will win.

As they're heading to the studio for recording one day, Max asks to stop at his apartment to grab a hard drive that has some instrumental stems for a tricky piece they're working on.

While waiting at Max's doorway, Charles sees a loose sheaf of paper fall from a table. He walks over and picks it up.

Charles realises it's one of the earlier librettos he'd written while he was still at the Paris Conservatory. Not many people know about it - it was an experimental piece, from his earlier work, rough around the edges and vaguely embarrassing. He didn't even think anyone liked it, let alone heard it or went through the effort to source it.

Stunned, Charles tucks it back into the stack of papers on the table, only to see there are more relics from his early career. A pamphlet for a summer performance in Switzerland, a train ticket to Berlin for the same performance date that landed him in a review as a once-in-a-generation talent.

Max reappears in the doorway with his bag, and freezes. Charles stares back, and speaks first.

"Have you had these all this time?"

Max's blue eyes are cool, even as his face burns. "We have our differences. But it'd be impossible, not to notice you."

Open A Tab

There’s a funny thing about being a vampire. So much of what they are is defined by hunger. A hunger for blood, for life, for energy. David has felt that hunger every night for almost a century. Never quite sated, never happy no matter how much blood he drowned himself in. For a long time, he thinks it will never go away.

And then he meets him. 

They’ve only been in this town a handful of nights when it happens. Early Massachusetts spring has sent them indoors, a necessity thanks to the bitter cold. So they find themselves lurking in the local bar, wasting Max’s money on drinks and plays at the jukebox. It’s Dwayne who notices him first, nudging David to get his attention. 

There’s a boy at the bar who's drinking quite a bit, alone. Eyes darting towards the door like he's expecting someone to catch him and rain hell on his head.

There's no other way to describe it than... He smells good. Not in a way humans can parse. Even deadened by alcohol, he is bright. Blood singing in his veins, practically screaming Come and Take Me. David almost doesn’t realize he’s walking towards him until he’s leaning on the bar next to him.

"Drinking all by yourself tonight?” 

The boy startles, his grip on the shot glass turning his knuckles white. His eyes, fast and frightened, meet David's. The vampire notices, as if it’s the most natural thing in the world, that they’re blue. Not like his own, cold and pale, these are ocean blue, a tumult of blue and green, a little ring of gold at their center.

David can’t help but stare. 

The boy breathes out a hard little gasp, it smells like whiskey and lighter fluid. Below that, David can smell his blood. He feels his teeth in his mouth, aching to get a taste. But something feels... different. There’s something else there. He’s so busy trying to unpick what it might be that he almost misses the boy saying something.

"-m'friends are 'round. Somewh'r..." 

He squints at David. It’s clear that he can tell something is off about him, but either thanks to the alcohol or his human senses, he can't say what, yet. 

David nods, playing off his unexpected bout of distraction with a sly smile. "Well. Until they get back, mind if we share a few?" He motions to himself, and to Dwayne, sitting behind them. Dwayne gives the guy a quick two fingered salute. 

He squints again.

"F'ne. Yer buyin' tho..."

"Fine by me. Always happy to spend my boss's money."

He flags down the bartender, ordering a round for the three of them.

-

They learn three things about the boy that night. 

One, he is drinking alone. None of his so-called friends have even entered this bar with him, and this was a somewhat common occurrence. The boy was barely a year past 18. 

Two, his father is the local preacher, and apparently, according to him, witchcraft in the town of Salem wasn't dead enough. If you smiled, you were already burning. 

Three, the boy's name is Paul Harris. 

And David has not been able to stop staring at him the whole night.

Ok so. Chip star wars au backstory. Basically, what I'm thinking is that the story is pretty much the same, with some obvious adjustments.

Chip grows up on board the Midnight Rose (a space ship this time, not an ocean one lol). It's the early years of the Empire, and the Black Rose pirates are both pirates and kind of an early rebel cell? sorta? They're still pretty powerful, like in the riptide canon, as the Empire is still kind of getting its shit together. And when I say they're *sort of* rebels what i mean is that, while they do actively dislike the Empire, they're not fighting them directly so much as they're being a general nuisance for them and stealing their shit and disrupting their plans.

As for the hole in the sea...well, I have two ideas for that would be.

Number one is that it's, like, a weird Force thing, which there are A Lot of in Star Wars. It's sort of like that weird fucking cube-planet-thing they get stranded on in The Clone Wars for that one arc with the Father the Daughter the Son--it's that sort of batshit fucking star wars thing, and it basically, like...sucks them in and the events of the Hole in the Sea oneshot play out pretty much the same way. This one I like because it has the wackass magical element to it and could thus account for the wackass Chip Lore that we're currently being insane about in the hiatus.

(The aforementioned Wackass Chip Lore does throw a bit of a wrench into the AU, since we don't know anything for certain about it, so when Riptide starts back again and we find out more this part of the au could be pretty much derailed, but adjustments can always be made and the sw lore is crazy enough that I'll probably be able to figure something out).

Second option is that the "Hole in the Sea" is a weapon of sorts--something the Empire is maybe working on in secret, something that they maybe found that was like, the ruins of an ancient space-civilization with super weird, cool technology yknow? And the black rose pirates end up there somehow (one idea is that it's like a gravity well, like they had in Rebels I think??? It might have been tcw i can't remember. Something that can pluck ships out of hyperspace like it's nothing). It could also be a combination of these two options--maybe it's some weird space magic thing the Empire was studying but then some Weird Magical Bullshit happened and drove them all out, but the Magic was like, awake, or something, idk I'm tired and that's all I have for now. This ask was not originally this long LMAO

Oh my fucking god I understand I get it. What if the hole in the sea was the Empire experimenting with the dark side of the force to build the superweapon that can just. Yoink a fuckin ship out of hyperspace and send them to some form of a rebel prison, but it ended up malfunctioning because the original designs were ones they stole from that ancient space-civilization you mentioned were made with the light side of the force/jedi use in mind. it ends up creating a sort of whackass void/black hole of the force in this pit deeeep deep into outer space and just like the Allport blockade, the Empire ends up telling any ships that try to leave the docks not to go there. the only people that can go anywhere near it are the ones that live on the nearby planets (like the underground towns and crew the albatrio found while in the black sea when chip got his heart ripped out), the Empire visiting bases (like the navy base from 114), or any rebel trader that's either stupid enough or skilled enough to disobey the Empire and make it all the way there and back alive. Since Captain Rose was one of the pirate lords, maybe it was an intentional and direct attack that just ended up backfiring and left them with no other option than to quarantine that set of planets and hope nothing else happened and no-one survived (they literally all did LMAOO)

God so I recently started playing sweet pool which I am like. Not the target demographic for lmao, I honestly just came for the cannibalism/autocannibalism ending because while the other topics in the game aren't like, squicks for me they're also not really my thing but then. Oh my god. I was absolutely NOT fucking expecting to latch on to Zenya so hard, like, fuck. I have not related to/resonated with a character to an extent as far as this since I was a teen playing the first ever VN I got my hands on, like. Oh my god.

Essay under the cut because if I don't get my thoughts out I'm going to Explode:

Zenya is a really interesting contrast to Tetsuo, because while Tetsuo's abuse has in no way left him a normal/healthy human being, he is at least functional. Tetsuo is an exceptional student with "a rotation of girlfriends" and is shown multiple times to behave responsibly (remembering trash duty, not wanting to waste food, feeding the stray cat etc.)

But what Zenya's father did to him left Zenya permanently fucked up physically, mentally, and emotionally. Zenya's behavior is so erratic and unstable, he has no friends in school and everyone talks shit about him lmao. He has such obvious trust issues; while it's clear he does care about Kitani, he is convinced Kitani only puts up with his bullshit due to his loyalty to his father and by extension himself.

The shit with Zenya's family has completely isolated him from the rest of the world. Normal people literally can not understand what Zenya is going through, so why even bother? Zenya hates his father for what he did to him; he lashes out, he's moody, he literally can not control his emotions because of the sickness he's been infected with. And yet he still wants love, he still wants to become the functional Male his father wanted (with Zenya's endings he is either going to produce lots of "babies" with Youji or die cradling his intestines imagining they're the children he was supposed to produce).

We can assume based off the lyrics to Zenya's character song that he is extremely lonely (which is also kind of just. obvious given his situation and isolation) but his situation and circumstances make it impossible for him to reach out on a deep level to anyone with the exception of Youji. And oh my fucking god, VLG ending is what made me go fucking feral so let's talk about that.

Zenya is literally shown to be capable of having Kitani kidnap Youji and Tetsuo. AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME, Zenya could have made Kitani kidnap Youji to keep as his sex slave.

But he doesn't. Ever do that.

Zenya will only take Youji if he is gullible enough to fall for his trick. It's so glaringly obvious that Youji shouldn't trust Zenya that I genuinely could not find anything online of people talking about Zenya's ending being the first ending they got (Makoto's seems to be the most popular for people not using guides) even though Zenya's ending is the first chronologically. Zenya only takes Youji as his if he's gullible enough to follow him like a lamb to the slaughter.

Feeling like the only way someone can love you is through violence and control has been hardwired into Zenya's brain (tbh it was to me too through my abusive family though I'm lucky enough to be away from that and in a stable enough position to be able to work on actively unlearning that). Zenya's ending just fucking hit me like a semi truck because I can see how if I had been genuinely permanently trapped in my terrible situation like he is I could have ended up doing something similar. It's fucking chilling.

Literally everything I've talked about so far is already Real As Fuck for my problems specifically but then even Zenya's relationship with gender is similar to mine like oh my god. Zenya is a defective Male and it's hurt him so fucking deeply. Of course he resents perfect Male Tetsuo who easily gets everything that's been ripped away from him, god Zenya's jealousy is written so well. But the fucking awesome thing about Zenya is how he doesn't try to overcompensate masculinity like one might expect him to with a life like that-- Zenya doesn't use his trauma with masculinity as an excuse to resent all things feminine, but the exact opposite. Zenya leans into his nurturing side-- even in his ending where he literally keeps Youji as his sex/breeding slave he talks about how he wants to take care of him, how he wants to bathe with him and eat with him like. Did Tetsuo do ANYTHING remotely similar in the numerous times he raped Youji?? Literally one of the last parts of VLG is Zenya getting Youji clothes to match his beloved Kristi, Kristi whom he loves and does his best to nurture and take care for throughout the entire game, even making plans for how Kristi will be cared for after his inevitable death in the more "canon" endings. I tend not to headcanon gender and sexuality stuff on characters so I'm not going to theorize about what labels Zenya could be but I just want to say, as a bigender person I've never ever had a character I felt represented how I feel about myself and gender fuckery like with Zenya.

Just. God. I could talk even more about Zenya's reactions to canon events + his feelings about the religion and his chances of being saved but I don't think I have any coherency left at this point lmao. I relate to Zenya so fucking hard it kind of hurts, all of his traits are just so fucking real to me. As someone with such deep-running problems that impair my ability to function and react appropriately to stimuli I just honestly haven't seen a character I could relate to this deeply.

#im so embarrassed lmao god im. zenya shaped brainworms have infested my brain #sweet pool is the ultimate transmasc allegory okay

48. What event altered your character's story the most?

TY FOR THE ASK!

funny answer, for nira'sae, but...

the inclusion of male viera

before that was announced? they had a barebones story, wishy-washy design, poorly scraped together lore-- they were a basic, angsty miqo'they.

and then i told my FC "if they come out with male viera that's my new main, 100%."

then it happened! and my god. the way their entire story expanded and changed to accommodate that is insane. up to and including their literal death.

lol yeah mrts was part of the process of coming up with ~Moonlit Mind~. I thought I should do something with Light And Shadow as a canon ref, and we see Kagami's neutral judgment face snapping his teammates out of engaging with Seiho's shit, so I thought it should be a Guiding Light helping clear their heads and regain perspective, but its not as strong as Kagami's. That post with Kagami and Aomine both being compared to the sun + Mind Mirror made me think of mrts and TADA! (Mido's bts notes)

the greater verm cinematic universe

i think... since i was a kid, digging through my creative stuff, mirrors and reflections have always been a motif i fixated on.

it also makes sense in bil - si!kagami is not an aggressor, he is more 'reactive'. what you give is what you get, kinda. and yeah, with the eventual lead-in to the Zone (of which you'll never get si!kagami to call it that with capitalization), he does act as the emotional and mental 'guiding light', the 'lighthouse' but not directly. blah blah more stuff for later...

and you really nailed it 🤯
