Oh my god I think that Homestuck Mistborn post just unlocked something in my brain. Like, oh they live on a planet controlled by an immortal emperor, the divided caste system? Like I'm not an AU writer gal... but if I did... hmnnn Obviously as @jojotier pointed out Terezi would make such a great protag, maybe as a disgraced Obligator, or just a trainee from one of the lower-ranked noble houses perhaps, with a heavy rival from another. Tavros as a sort of Lestibournes figure which (he's. He's literally a Page of Light he gets a fucking Brain Ghost Kelsier for fucks sake) gets even more messed up when you consider Vriska's implications in all this. Hell, just a fic where Vriska wants to play this weird sort of Kelsier role, stealing from the Condesce herself, trying to form herself into this quasi-religious figure like Kelsier did... there's SOMETHING there I stg

#obviously vriska (if she's a mistborn) leans HEAAAVILY on her emotional allomancy #gamzee feels like he could also be one #but more in line with a Zinc burner as a bard of rage (inflaming emotions) #idk if you wanted to add humans here i feel like june as this silly sort of relatively innocent heir to the condesce #in the vein of elend it could work #but this feels like such a job for the trolls #oh my god equius is a fucking smoker (ability to disguise presence/allomancy) #i feel like jadebloods (as the divide between high/lowbloods + their reclusive tradition-carrying (getting karkat a sign and lusus) #might be an interesting analogue to the terris #anyways i cannot write this im too busy but if anyone's crazy enough to try it feel free to use these ideas
