[bluegekk0]

in your fpk au, what happened to all of ghost’s charms? i think someone had asked this before but i can’t find the post

Yeah I might have answered this before. Unfortunately Tumblr's search is completely useless and back then I didn't use specific character tags, so sadly not surprising that you can't find it.

But to answer your question, the charms were destroyed when Ghost united the void and turned into the Shade Lord. This included the Void Heart, any charm they bought or found, and the charm given to them by Grimm that contained his Grimmchild form. The latter meant that the ritual had to be started over, and because by the time the Grimmchild was destroyed, it already absorbed all the nightmare essence that Grimm could use to form his new body, so he had to finish it elsewhere.

And even if they were all still intact, they're no longer accessible - only someone in possession of a dream nail can enter Godhome, and the only two remaining dream nails are outside of anyone's reach; Ghost's dream nail stayed behind in Godhome as they returned to the Abyss, and the one in FPK's possession that allowed him to create his dream realm (though subconsciously) is stuck there, since he never took it with him as he left the palace.

So in short, they're gone. Of course, something like the Wayward Compass that can be bought in a shop can likely be replaced (and because it's one of the charms that adds game mechanics which aren't magical in nature, in-universe it's probably just for decoration*) but the ones they found while exploring were unfortunately one of a kind.

* Though assuming your average bug can't use magic of any sort, this would mean that charms are generally just used as decoration, even if some of them can be very powerful in the right hands. Summon charms are different, I think those work regardless of the magical capabilities of the one wearing them.

hi i NEED to know more abt your mermaid au (if you dont mind u.u)

HIIIII THANK U FOR ASKINGGHGG

so basically in this au, everything is prettyyy much the same except that aren is a merman..

after his meeting with kusuo, it becomes painfully obvious that kusuo doesnt belong there but aren still thinks hes just a cool foreign mermaid.. but he keeps asking so many questions about where hes from and kusuo is already in so much shock he cant keep up the act anymore and tells him hes from the land.. (he probably couldve just told him to leave him alone, but truth be told he had a hot merman right in front of him and he literally just found out mermaids exist ??? so why would he do that)

so after learning kusuos secret (which wasnt explained in full, he really just said he has powers and aren thinks its some sort of secret human magic) he begs him to give him human legs, and kusuo has to explain that he cant use his shapeshifting ability on other people, and the only similar thing is hypnosis, which wouldnt work.. SO kuboyasu introduces him to mermaid magic !! which isnt all that powerful at all.. they just have certain minor spells, charms, and incantations that can have small effects.. so they work together and find a way to make his shapeshifting ability work on kuboyasu!! maybe its a thing similar to saikis limiters, but its like a pendant or a pair of earrings infused with a combination of magic+kusuos powers+technology

and soooooo he transfers to PK!! (with kusuos genius+mind control, its easy to cook up a fake ID+birth certificate and all) and everything else is pretty much the same, including even how kusuo attempts to ignore him at school at first+then spies on him without his knowledge.. but theyre also secretly romancing each other outside of school hours in the literal ocean..

it definitely took a while for kusuo to trust him enough to take him on land btw so they also spent a lot of time in arens home but i havent put much thought into what/where exactly that is or about his family and mermaid friends and such..

either way, even when he trusts him, aren still messes up and almost spills various secrets a lot lmao.. it shouldn't be that hard because hes been told his whole life that humans were dangerous because they couldnt handle things they didnt understand (like.. magic) but somehow he still manages to slip up many times on BOTH of their secrets (good thing their friends are DUMB)

"so aren, where do you live??" "in the sea-" gets elbowed by kusuo "sea.. outh.. district??" "huh??"

#kubosai mermaids!!! #hell yeah!! #i havent decided if aren was still in a gang or not or if hes just naturally aggressive #but mermaid gang would be really cool lmao #maybe thats part of why he wants to escape the ocean so bad #for the fresh start hes been looking for #omg imagine that he WAS in a gang and they use that as a cover up to why they act weird and secretive #sinceee it isnt teeechnically a lie #'i know your secret..' 'what?!?' 'that you used to be in a gang..' 'oh! oh that..' #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #kusuo saiki #saiki kusuo #aren kuboyasu #kuboyasu aren #kubosai #meows post

[silvyslayer42]

ok so (explanations under the cut)

in order of worst to best we have-

F - satosai. get out of my face, satosai.

full disclosure though- i used to really like satosai, but then i grew as a person and part of that is realizing satosai is painful amounts of overrated and mid (im joking obviously, though i do truthfully dislike it, no shade to you if you do. plus i still look at ship content of it sometimes because it’s there in mass amounts and they’re cute sometimes). also some satosai fans are so annoyingggg (you know the ones) and will go after other saiki ships and be like “anyways satosai better” and i do genuinely think you’re annoying and should get off of my page if you do that.

E - kuboyasu x teruhashi. it goes in E tier for “Eh?” because i do not get it

i have nothing to say about them, to the point that it’s not even funny. this is like, a very sober crackship to me. im sure someone who does really like this ship could sell me on it but it hasn’t happened yet. i see this ship around sometimes and just get so confused. i do not see the chemistry

D - kubosai. even more confusing than the last one in some ways but i kind of see the charm of it.

again though, nothing much to say. they work aesthetically, like—the bones of a good ship are here, but there’s no meat to tear into. in their canon/close to canon versions i cannot see it at all (probably because i like other ships with both of them a lot more), but in a good fic or au i do very much indulge in the BAMF x BAMF content. yeah idk what else to say, they’re so low on here because i just do not think about them as a romantic pairing or seek it out. i don’t know why it’s so popular (unless there’s some solo chapter with them as a duo that ive never seen)

C - imuteru, hii x satou, and makoku (with one u). yeah, I know, C tier for “Contreversial Take” i suppose.

OK LET ME EXPLAIN OFFICER-

imuteru used to be higher up on the list, but then terusai took over my body and soul, and i just can’t really see them together anymore. whenever i think of imuteru i think of unrequited imuteru on imu’s end and that makes me sad :( for some reason this same effect didn’t happen with teruchiyo or mikoteru but that might be that those two have other ships with the characters aswell idk

satou x hii would be further up because i do really like them together and i think the whole luck balancing thing is super cute, i just don’t think about them enough to put them higher. yes, your boos are understandable, and your tomato throwing. someday i’ll decide to read a fic about them and it’ll probably become B tier idk

.. ok now you REALLY HAVE TO HEAR ME OUT. makoto x kusuo could be so funny. this is a true crackship, and one laced with the absolutely most fatal drug cocktail you’ve ever seen. in a world where makoto isn’t literally a walking incest joke and is just a protective and pretty idiot it slaps so hard. kokomi would hate it, kuusuke would hate it, his parents would be questioning how kusuo managed to bag a famous actor without mind control. it is utter chaos and so so much better for it. i think they should be more popular and it’s probably my worst saiki k take. still, putting them any higher is basically saiki k fandom sacrilege atp so.

B - nendou x saiko, mikosai (+mikoteru and teruchiyo which weren’t on the tierlist for some reason), kaisai, and yumekai. now we’re getting somewhere. i quite like all of these.

nendou x saiko is just very fun to me. idiot for idiot but it’s in the romcom rich guy who doesn’t know shit meets guy who doesn’t know shit either. silly x tries to be serious but can’t really pull it off. i think they can both mutually make each others lives better + their interactions in canon were great. i wish they were more popular

oh boy mikosai!! oh boy, mikosai… mikosai is the first sight of my polyship i like to call “psychicshipping” which is where i ship all of the PK psychickers together romantically as a weird kind of OT4. i have so much to say on mikosai and a lot of thoughts about them, and i do genuinely like them as a pairing a lot, BUT. it ranks lower than the other psychicships because the fandom put a bad taste in my mouth with it. often, i see a lot of people hating on terusai in favor of mikosai or saying that mikosai is somehow more valid and im like “?”. it often feels like mikosai is the het saiki ship for teruhashi haters, which SUCKS because i do see the vision. like, THIS:

this is great, yk? they look good together and the dynamic is great, but the way the fandom treats and characterizes them is not even close to how they should be, at least to me it’s not. this image sums up my feelings on them pretty well:

closing thoughts: i should be the only one allowed to ship mikosai because only i understand them NEXT

mikoteru + teruchiyo bonus round because i like them too and they deserve to be here: these ships are both great in my professional opinion, but their paragraphs get combined because i don’t have a lot of vested interest in them specifically despite really liking them. I think teruhashi’s problems could all be fixed if she had at least one girlfriend (preferably more) and that is my only thoughts really. i get very happy when i see people making ship content for either of these, please make more yuri content with teruhashi now thank you !!

kaisai!! this was the first saiki k ship i read a fic for and the first ship i enjoyed. it’s very nostalgic to me because of that. to me they give “greasy gamer who could be blown over by a ghost of wind boyfriend who likes getting himself into trouble x stoic but secretly sweet boyfriend who subtly protects him” which is a rare and overlooked dynamic i think, and something you can’t really get from kubokai. kubokai might still be better but that doesn’t mean kaidou doesn’t have two hands now does it? closing thoughts: i think they’re very cute and need more people to see that, romantically or platonically.

yumekai. i think they should’ve been canon in the end idc idc. i might like other ships with these two more but that does not mean i won’t acknowledge how much i like them. they are honestly one of the best het ships in the entire fandom and need more recognition!! they can be angsty mutual pinning. they can be toothrottingly fluffy. they can be so infuriatingly stupid (they are always stupid but shush). they can be the incarnation of young love. they can and should grow old together. the only reason they aren’t higher up is because, like i said before, i like other ships with either of them so much already so there’s not enough room in my heart for them 😞

A - mikosuka (plus aikechi and torikechi bonus rounds that will both be getting their own paragraphs this time), saikechi, torisai, kubokai, and nendou x hairo. OH YEAH BABYY! all of these are solid and the fandom hasn’t ruined them, in fact all of the stuff ive seen of them slaps. 10/10

mikosuka. please be more popular aaa!! the only reason it’s not is because of how much toritsuka got done dirty in canon for the “pervert character” trope- and how much the fandom just despises him. they’re hilarious in a “married couple who do nothing but fight all the time but everyone can tell they love each other anyways” way to me, not to mention how they’re also a part of psychicshipping. i do think they work better as part of a polycule with saiki to center them, but i saw a post about how aiura could’ve been mistaken and toritsuka might’ve actually been hinted as her soulmate and it’s been a majority of my thoughts since. i think they should get married after a long journey of selfdiscovery for them both where at the end of it they decide they both like life better with each other. i think they should stay in a “will they won’t they” like idiot love interests in a bad but popular tv show forever. i live laugh love mikosuka. i think they both deserve better (mostly aiura but toritsuka too in some ways). closing thoughts: brain running wild all the time 24/7 for these guys forever and ever.

aikechi. i hadn’t really thought about them before making contact with @/no-psi-nan’s posts about them but now my eyes are OPENED!! honestly before that i just saw them in the polypsychiccule as connected via their mutual love for saiki but not with each other directly, but now they are so much more than that to me. he’s the right amount of calm to nicely contrast her passionate fire in a way that the other two just aren’t. they are the pinacle of competent 4 competent while still being idiots in their own ways. aiura shows a picture of him to someone and says “this is my loser pissboy husband. i love him so much”

torikechi. i started liking them in a similar way that i started liking aikechi but the vibes with them are so very different than aikechi. compared to toritsuka, akechi is the cool one and that is crazy 2 me. really really dumb x only a little bit dumb but extremely unhinged in other ways. akechi can finally talk at someone who and be halfway listened to without annoying the other person because of toritsuka being used to ghosts randomly appearing to talk to him all the time and he is ecstatic. toritsuka is just happy to be here and also very confused tbh.

saikechi. what’s there not to like about saikechi tbh. a lot of canon backing and the childhood friends trope? peak. the potential that this ship has for angst and hurt/comfort is sososo good gahhh!! akechi being torn up about saiki leaving and saiki feeling guilty. saiki thinking that he’s done something horrible and not expecting forgiveness, but receiving it anyway :((( aaaaa!!! “you really shouldn’t forgive me. you should hate me” x “i already forgave you, and how could i ever hate you when i love you so much?”. like??? hello??? they make me cry. they make me so happy. they can help each other heal and become better. they could even make each other worse if you play your cards right (you’d be evil for it tho). closing thoughts: screaming crying shaking sobbing throwing up clawing the ground and punching my pillow because of how much i care about them

torisai. they are so funny lmao. also they complete the psychicshipping love square

(^the psychicshipping love square. pink line between names means those two characters are dating, in love, married, etc.) so ofc i love them. as mentioned, i think they’re very funny (a common trait of a lot of the ships i like) and i think saiki could fix him (/j). not much to say since they are my head empty ship but yeah i like me some torisai

kubokai. do i even need to explain?? like torisai there’s not much i really feel i need to say about them but like. who doesn’t like kubokai? these two could not go an episode without doing something gay and we love them for that. not to mention the piles upon piles of content for them. closing thoughts: ofc i like kubokai, who doesn’t like kubokai?

nendou x hairo. HELL YEAH BABYY!! <- my reaction when i see a post about them. underrated as hell, just like how these two are as characters. they’re my sillies. the silliest gay couple ever. aso shuichi agrees trust me. also that chapter where they got mistaken for a couple was so fucking funny. it’s a shame like no one knows about it since it’s basically softcore in some parts so it didn’t get animated

S - terusai and aichiyo. MY FAVS! i eat breathe and live on this. i have a current pintrest board of these ships because i love them so much.

aichiyo. give me more aichiyo content, NOW. aichiyo is seriously my favorite aiura ship, and i look it up on this godforsaken website, and you know what i find? LIKE THREE POSTS. THREE. THATS BASICALLY NOTHINGGG. and there’s not really a lot of fics ive found about them either (if you have recommendations i want them. please). that episode where they interacted was so gay it outshined nearly everything else. like- they’re so in love!! *shakes you* listen to me damnit!! they love each other!! they’re just so adorable i don’t know what you want me to say. look at them LOOK AT THEMMMM

(^made by @/wowneh_toon on twitter) closing thoughts: they make me feral

terusai (ending with this one instead of going in order because they are my number one favs out of any saiki k ship to have ever been concocted). AAAAAHH!!!!!! I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCHH!!!! terusai is the kind of ship that grows on you the longer you’re a fan of the show, and now it’s my straight up comfort ship. anyone who disagrees is WRONG this whole fandom is WRONG and im not afraid to say that. if you don’t like them at least queerplatonically i think your takes are immature and stupid and im blocking you. terusai is perfect for a fluffy future au where teruhashi is the breadwinner and saiki is her housewife. infinity/10 best romance ever written no complaints. there’s so many terusai moments and chapters (remember when teruhashi was about to confess to him as kuriko and he was blushing???like??? how could anyone see that shit and still think he genuinely hates her… i know i sound so mean here but idc im so so tired of this fandom and the absolute DISRESPECT terusai goes through on a daily basis) thank you aso shuichi for gifting the world with teruhashi and terusai. closing thoughts: i love them and if you don’t i do NOT want to hear about it. id fight the whole fandom over them if i had to im not kidding.

phew that was a lot of writing. i hope you enjoyed my ramblings because all of these came from deep within my heart. also my opinions are all cosmic truths so if you disagree then i guess we’ll just have to both live with you being wrong 🤷

#this isn’t even all of them #notice how kuusuke is missing #and kurumi x kaidou’s mom isn’t here either #we’d be here literally all day if i went through my opinions on every ship because of how big the cast is #also. you know what it never was? that serious #if you like a ship that i don’t or vice versa then that is OK just be cool about it and idrc #saiki k #ships #so so many ships #the tierlist post #or ranking ig #psychicshipping

[nonuggetshere]

I keep seeing u post about ur kingsoul au, would u be willing to write a basic rundown of the plot!! BC I LOVE everything that I've seen but ik none of the context :///

ALRIGHT, joke about never revealing the lore over, time to release the brainrot

The basic premise is that PK and WL gave the Pure Vessel kingsoul charm to keep their soul levels stable, in case Radiance tried to physically damage them to get out.

Fastforward many years later, and the infection resurfaces. Pale King and White Lady are hit with the possibility that the vessel was alive all this time and they...do not take it well. Pale King immediately dives back into work to cope, just to keep his mind off this. Meanwhile White Lady completely bottles up her feelings and tries to pretend everything's okay, and instead distracts herself by trying to make sure her husband is alright.

Things keep getting worse and worse, and finally when he's completely out of ideas, Pale King decides to trap himself and his palace in the dream realm in hopes that Radiance will go for him instead. He discusses it at length with his queen, says his goodbyes in case he dies and leaves. The moment he's in the dream realm she can no longer feel him, so she has no idea if he's dead or not.

His plan does not work. He's alive but trapped in the dream realm, presumed dead by most people.

White Lady is now alone, watching her beloved's hard work crumble to dust, feeling powerless to stop it. Finally, she gets an idea, and in her desperation she tries to reach to the Hollow Knight through the kingsoul charm, much the same way she would with her Wyrm.

It works.

They're momentarily pulled from the Radiance's grasp, confused and disoriented. Then they see their mother and their confusion grows. For a moment they think it's another one of that damned moth's tricks, but they can't feel her presence at all. Realising that it's their actual mother, they just break down, relieved to be free of the torment at least for a little while.

This cements her suspicions that they were alive, when before they thought Pale King might have been just wrong about how the infection works, now she's sure they're alive.

She hugs them tightly and tells them it's going to be okay, but their kingdom is dying, their people are suffering, their father might be gone forever, and she just needs them to hold on a little longer. Can they please do that for her?

They nod.

She smiles. They're strong, she says, they've got this.

And it works.

With her help, getting frequent visits and breaks, her reassurance; they manage to fight off the infection once again. Hallownest can begin to heal and rebuild once again, under her rule. She will continue what her beloved started. For his sake.

She sees them again, tells them as much. The kingdom's doing better, the infection is disappearing, all thanks to them. Their father would be proud, she tells them. They smile so brightly at that.

She reassures them, tells them to keep fighting, and one day another vessel will show up and they can be relieved of their duty. They will be named a prince, they could be a family. She promises.

They trust her. Trust her that she's sure of it.

Years pass, Hallownest is thriving again, the Hollow Knight has new strength to keep fighting. They've got their mother's help. They look forward to her warm embrace and soft words everytime.

But the time keep stretching on and on, and no other vessel shows. They're getting impatient, nervous, they can't keep going on like this. She knows it, doesn't she?

She reassures them. She's sure another, truly pure vessel will show to replace them, and then they can reunite once more in the waking world. She's sure. She promises.

Ages pass. They're getting tired. They can't keep going, even with her help.

They're impatient, nervous- no, terrified. She promised.

The infection starts showing up again. She's angry. Don't they know what they're fighting for?

They can't keep going. So try harder, she tells them. Do not disappoint her. Do not disappoint their father.

They're at their breaking point, they can't keep going. She promised them. Did she lie? Was all of this just empty stories all along?

But how dare they accuse her of that. They're a warrior. They were trained for this. They should be stronger. They let their father's legacy crumble once more.

They're a failure. She tells them. The king would be disappointed.

They snap.

The kingsoul lays broken between the two of them. The vessel pants heavily, still reeling after their argument.

She looks at them in shock then shakes her head. She turns away.

She overestimated them. She shouldn't have expected any better of them. After all...

They're only human.

They've failed them.

...No. No.

They'll show her. They'll show her. She's wrong about them.

For the first time in ages, they raise their blade towards the sun shining in the distance.

So that entire thing came to me after listening to My Goodbye from EPIC: the musical on repeat for two days straight. A lot of plotpoints in this AU come from me rotating these characters in my head while listening to these songs.

Pure ascends as the Lord of Shades and brings The Radiance down. But they don't kill her.

She'll get to live out the rest of her life as a mortal. In the ancient fallen kingdom that she brought to ruin.

They break from their chains, take one last look at her from the entrance of the black egg, and leave. They rise to the surface, don't look back as they pass the howling cliffs. It's not their home anymore.

White Lady feels a shift in her kingdom. Dryya runs to her, the infection is dying.

Shocked, she uproots herself and goes to the temple. There, she finds the Radiance, and no sign of her child.

So after being informed of what went down by a very pissed off Radiance, her reaction pretty much boils down to "THEY DID WHAT?"

Along their travels, Pure finds their other siblings. Mainly, Ghost, Mellow (BV) and Greenie (GV). They find their way, after many years, into the ruins of yet another fallen kingdom.

This time though, they find their new home here. They help build a new kingdom and are crowned as its monarch. Life's good.

Except for the fact other Hugher Beings get the wind of a void being doing that to The Radiance and want to kill them out of paranoia but that's a story for another time.

Oh, and PK finds his way out of the dream realm. Somehow.

Also WL and PK can still talk to Pure through now voidheart, but they immediately cut contact and most of the time don't even let them sense them.

#asks #spooky writes #kind of #kingsoul au

[featherlouise]

Different anon whose dash is filling with real-time angst—

HAVE MERCY PLEASE. AAAAAAAA (That being said, continue. I'm actually curious as to how the story would progress after the infection's resurgence in relation to the in-game events. Would the palace still be whisked away, now with Hollow's body and a delusional queen trying furiously and in vain to protect the child she could have had?)

Hehehehehehe glad to see you’re enjoying my au!!

In terms of Ghost’s arrival to Hallownest, they’d be entering a far, far more dangerous kingdom. Since infected only attack the uninfected, and the infection spread SO fast, most of the dead bodies you see in the game would also be husks. Without Hollow and the dreamers to keep Radi in check, the entire kingdom would probably be basically infected crossroads. Any survivors would have fled to deepnest, as its dark, cramped corridors suddenly become far more appealing than the swarms of enraged infected that crowd the roads and pathways. It’s only a matter of time until deepnest is also invaded however, and the aforementioned cramped conditions don’t exactly lend well to running away.

Once PK realises that his kingdom is well and truly fucked, he would DEFINITELY yeet the palace into the dream realm, probably even sooner than in canon since, as far as he’s concerned, he’s got his family with him in the palace already, so what more could he need??

Assuming Ghost manages to awaken the dream nail (bc Radi leaves the resting grounds and Seer alone so it’s kinda like a safe zone) they’d have a pretty easy time getting the kingsoul bc both halves are in the same room. They’d still have to do the path of pain tho bc PK’s gotta protect Hollow’s body somehow right??

They pick up both halves of the charm, before noticing the figure on the bed, with a strangely familiar set of horns.

Turning to leave, they’re stopped by the distinct sound of a lock clicking into place. When they look back, their sibling is sitting up from their dais, their eyes glowing a burning orange.

Boss fight ensues

[passer-ine]

I'm thinking about Godhome ending where everyone survives because I say so (RIP godseeker tho 😔) just Some Thoughts I've had on it

(probably counts as an au at this point)

THK surviving and able to be free cuz no more infection

The Dreamers are also able to wake up cuz they don't have to be killed for the seals to break because the seals didn't even need to be broken

MEANS QUIRREL IS STILL THERE TOO :)

Little Ghost is now also Lord of Shades (pretty sure that's what happens iirc), but in the awake world, just goes back to its vessel body (cuz of shade soul charm or something idk I'm making this up as I go), but its tiny little body can barely hold the void god which presents some problems

Ghost is still them but Something is Definitely Different. The air around them seems colder and more dense in a way you wouldn't expect from someone so tiny. Just makes them all the more unsettling.

Most bugs don't know why, just "hm they're creepier than usual"

Bugs who know enough about the void can figure out what's up (like Bardoon, and WL).

Bugs who can pick up on things like that, but don't know enough about the void to tell exactly whats up are like "hm, something is fundamentally different but I don't know what" (like Hornet)

Really toying with the idea of if PK is actually dead or just reincarnated again.

Little Ghost is still very young (specifically mentioned in the game somewhere, I do remember this) so yeah Mato adopts them.

THK gets to visit their mom. Don't know if this helps them, but it's one of those things they just really need to do for themself.

Knights reunion (sad). The remaining knights (and WL) find out what happened to the others, but at least they get to see each other. (Ze'mer is still there because I say so)

All infected creatures just die. Technically they're already dead, but the infection isn't keeping their corpses going anymore. It's more of poison now, and can't really spread anymore.

Except Broken Vessel I want them to be ok ;-; technically when u fight them they're still alive cuz at the end of the fight when the infection leaves they try to get up but just collapse ssshhh they're just slleeppingg they're ok I PROMISE :)

Going back to PK, reincarnated he would be a little more wrymy and a bit less buggy than than the 1st time he reincarnates.

He probably tries to fix up THK some, knows there's only so much he can do with all that they've been through, but 1- he's a bit attached 2- gives him something to do for a while

He's still an asshole tho and doesn't really care much about about ghost or bv, siblings gotta look out for each other (THK does care abt them, as does Hornet)

I saw thing somewhere about Oro adopting BV and I love that so I'm using that here too if this post ever reaches the person who started that: I love you.

It's also an excuse for Mato and Oro to talk to each other

Maybe if that goes well Sheo can introduce his husband to his brothers :)

I've thought about this a lot lmao. There's still more, but I may draw some of it out.

alec was in sloane's year, right? what did he think of her?

both Alec and Sloane pegged each other as members of the Bad Dad Club like, immediately, but because Alec was the son of not only a cop but The Most Famous Cop (and BFFs with the daughter of the other Most Famous Cop) Sloane steered the hell away. If normal PKs were buddy buddy with stepdad, there’s no way that Chief Pig who she can tell is ALSO a dick to his OWN KID would do anything to help. It also only furthered her opinion that all Peacekeepers were fucking assholes.

Alec, meanwhile, because of that whole childhood normalization fallacy, noted that Sloane had the same markers as him and a bunch of the other kids, but assumed hers was on the same level as his. Alec didn’t clock his childhood as abusive for many, many years and still kept unlocking new bits of problematic backstory into adulthood, so it didn’t really occur to him that Sloane’s shitty dad could be SO much worse than his. Like, everyone hates their dad (except Selene, who’s charmed). Everyone’s dad kind of sucks. Some dads suck more than others, but it builds character and we’ll be in residential soon.

Once they’re at Residential I feel like their cohort was pretty split along the gender lines as far as off-hours hangouts go — like that’s the rules and that’s what’s enforced, but some, like Petra or Misha’s year occasionally did break the rules to have milestone celebration drinks. Meanwhile Alec is a paranoid rules follower to the extent he didn’t even talk to Selene, and Sloane was ACAB extreme, so it just did not happen.

If Alec ever found out he would have been sick to his stomach. And — to be fair — Joseph might be a shitty dad but he’s not, you know, that, and he absolutely would have arrested the hell out of Sloane’s stepdad. It’s just that he works at Cheyenne Mountain, not the local PD, so that never comes by his desk.

Alec is sad when Sloane dies but he’s still grieving Creed and numb from the fight with his dad so it doesn’t really register. Felix makes a bit more impression just because they hung out more.

In the Victor AUs I wonder whether he’d find out, though, since Lyme pulls strings to get her dad put away even when she doesn’t pick Sloane and that kind of thing seems like it would get back to him eventually.

i said before that i have no plans to turn my au versions of the characters into ocs, and i still stand by this. there's so much lore that directly ties into what happens in the game that simply swapping some names just wouldn't work. and the more i'd change about them, the more different they would become, and there's a reason why i love them the way i do. if i change that much about them, would they even still be the same characters who have lived rent free in my head for the past year? i really don't think so. it would feel like change for the sake of change, which never works and would just feel so forced i feel like they'd end up losing their charm

that said, part of me does lowkey hope that people see them as their own thing. or, more precisely, somewhere in between. not ocs, and not their canon counterparts either. cause to me, fpk isn't just "pk but lizard", there is so much more to him than that, and i guess i just hope it's something people also keep in mind. same goes for grimm. the others as well, but fpk and grimm definitely got the most focus in that department so they're the main focus of this

i do treat them the same way i treat my ocs, but their connection to the game's story is still very important. i guess that makes them foster characters? adopted characters? something of that sort, whatever term you'd use for interpretations that are very personal and go so in-depth that simply equating them to their canon counterparts would do them disservice. does that make sense? i hope it does

i don't know, i'm really just rambling while procrastinating on my chores hahaha

Et je suis aussi nrv d'hier car mon beauf me dit " ça se trouve tes allergies sont psychosomatique et tu t'es dit consciemment ou inconsciemment que tu allais être allergique à tel truc. Ça se soigne par hypnose et gelules maintenant."

PTDR tu crois vraiment qu'à 1 an et demi, je me suis dit "ET SI JE TOMBAIS MORTELLEMENT ALLERGIQUE AUX CACAHUÈTES ! ÇA À L'AIR FUN LE SERVICE RÉANIMATION !!! :D " devant le bol de curly à l'apéro.

Lui "ah ok, je sais pas la gravité ni le ressenti de tes allergies" BAH PK TU TE MÊLES ALORS ???

Et je répond que la cacahuète, c'est probablement mort vu que même si je mange qu'une miette je risque de mourir en quelques heures. Mais que je sais que je peux me désensibiliser aux chats. Sauf que ça m'intéresse pas vu que je n'aime pas cet animal (je le tolère, mais jamais je ne suis tombée sous leur charme/mignonnerie qui vous retourne le cerveau), et que de toute façon, vu que je n'en côtoie que rarement, je prend un médoc et basta.

ET QU'EST CE QU'IL OSE ME RÉPONDRE ??? "Bah si tout de suite tu te dis que c'est impossible, jamais tu arriveras à convaincre ton cerveau de ne plus être allergique." MAIS C'EST PAS CE QUE J'AI DIT ET FERME LA !!!

Il a aussi sorti les mêmes arguments à sa petite sœur car selon lui "Depuis que tu as décidé d'être végétarienne/éviter la viande et poisson au maximum tu t'es convaincue /imaginée des intolérances et ton corps y réagit."

Alors que... elle a vu des spécialistes/diététiciens le matin même qui lui ont confirmés par analyse qu'elle est bien devenue intolérante au gluten. Et c'est pas qu'une question de mauvaise volonté car son copain est (roulement de tambours) boulanger et qu'elle adore son pain. (Je confirme il est très bon). Et genre, tu pourrais pas dire à ta sœur que c'est déjà super qu'elle fasse de son mieux niveau alimentaire/consommation pour la planète ? Et que c'est pas parce que tes séances psy et hypnotiseur ont soignés tes douleurs au cœur psychosomatique que c'est le cas des douleurs de littéralement TOUT LE MONDE ??? (Je suis ok sur les médecines parallèles, mais à un moment faut se fier à nos médecins quoi)

Bref, mon beauf commence à m'énerver sur certains points, on ne vit pas dans la même dimension.

shaking you with new interest

watched one too many speedruns (one) and now hollow knight has infected my mind more than a pale guy and a moth

also i have soooo many Thoughts that i am burdened with so i am now cursing You with them

Fused Vessel AU

So this came from me thinking too hard about Grimm and Godseeker What if after the whole NKG thing, the grimmchild charm just. fused with the knight and made them the next grimm. Then THK. Moth Fluff. fuckin glowy lights man. then godseeker. vessel to the shade lord now. buncha fuckin. eyes n shit. probably more, idk

El Wyrm Shit

So some Wyrm shit incoming. Reincarnation is absolutely a wyrm-higher-being thing. PK is the first tiktik you murder in game because i want him to be dead /j Hornet, being half-wyrm, also has reincarnation and is probably a very minor higher being! like! a lower- higher being! a higher-middle being! something like that.

Conclusion

i forgot my other Thoughts i hit the stack overflow thingamabob

holy shit i have motivation to write
