[you-have-been-frizzled]

heyy- I'm curious abt which headcanons do you have abt what would happen if Juline got hurt very badly / died and how would the rest of characters react. (sorry if it sounds dark D:)

*deep inhale* oh anon i don’t think you realized what you just signed up for. also NOTHING is too dark for me when it comes to fic ideas

i have spent years thinking about what would happen if Juline was taken prisoner by the Neverseen, and when i remembered that the collective had that mind wipe poison i just made it angster.

Kesler would shut down when she was captured going completely on autopilot because that way he didn’t have to think to feel to process what had happened

that the person who was apart of his life since he was teen, his best friend was gone he would have a planting for her because that’s what he was told to do, he just told himself that she was dead because if he didn’t all he would think about is the ways they where torturing her.

that didn’t change the fact that he kept expecting to wake up and find Juline laying beside him, and he could hold her and know that she was safe but she was never there,

Dex would stay up day after day refusing to believe that she was gone, insisting that he could find her. he would stay so long that he would start to hallucinate.

because if he stopped working for even a moment his mind would run wild, thinking of every possible way the Neverseen was hurting her. and he couldn’t take it,

Lovise would have to force him to go bed and even Tinker would send him home when they where searching for her and he was falling asleep at his desk. Tinker eventually just made him a spot in the corner of her workspace so she could put him there to sleep when he would black out.

he wouldn’t be focusing at school or at team valiant meetings, he would be angry and sassing everyone if they tried to speak to him. he blamed himself for what happened to his mom weather he was there or not

and more importantly that was his mom, and weather they where fighting or not, and he didn’t know how to live without her

and the triplets Lex wouldn’t fully understand she was gone, he would be checking at the widows, mistaking Edaline for Juline everytime she comes over before becoming crushed and looking out the window for Juline again,

Dex came back why wouldn’t she?

Bex doesn’t speak she barely makes a noise and just follows Dex around like a shadow, “helping” him with his search for their mom,

Rex wouldn’t leave his dad side because what if he goes missing too, what if he losing another parent,

they had already lost their brother once and got him back and now they lost their mom, and they don’t know if she’s going to come back

Edaline would lock herself away at first crying so hard she couldn’t breathe, or completely catatonic, she wouldn’t want to speak to anyone other than Grady because her little sister is gone,

she’s lost her daughter, almost lost her second daughter and now lost her sister,

one of the days Dex comes over with Sophie rambling in techospeak, about how he’s going to find Juline, Edaline comes downstairs to watch them work not wanting to be in bed any longer

Dex when he sees her and freezes for a moment, almost like he thinks that Edaline is his mom just for a moment,

she runs over and hugs him and they are both crying and Edaline decides right then and there that they she’s going to go over to Rimeshire and be with her sister’s kids

because that’s what Juline would have wanted, Edaline helps run slurps and burps as often as she can, so Kesler doesn’t have to deal with the cruel whispers 

Grady would be angry, at everything, not understanding why his family can’t catch a break? why must they lose everything? why are they not allowed to be happy?

he goes over to Rimeshire to be with Kesler, not wanting him to suffer alone, he lets Dex yell about the Neverseen and how they can’t leave their family alone, he makes sure the triplets are ok while their father is on autopilot.

he would be the one to go with Sophie to check on the councils search and the black swans, because he’s been through it before twice, and he’s going to be the strong one and he’s not going to cry

#i don’t think enough about Sophie and Juline’s to include her #at least from Sophie’s end #thanks for the ask! #SORRY IT TOOK TWO MONTHS #masked messengers #i knew working on this would give me brainrot for my favorite Juline fic idea #and i had a wip i was working on #i needed to stay focused #now i’m considering actually writing it #kotlc #kotlc headcanons #kotlc fic #kotlc juline #kesline #kotlc kesler #kotlc dex #kotlc lex #kotlc bex #kotlc rex #kotlc grady #kotlc edaline #edaline ruewen #grady ruewen #kesler dizznee #juline dizznee #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc fanfic #kotlc fandom

CTHULHU AU BUT THEY'RE GENETIC EXPERIMENTS IN AN UNETHICAL SCIENCE FACILITY OVERSEEN BY THE MASKED MESSENGER: GO

sometimes an AU just explodes into being so here's a bunch of scribbles of this Experiment AU that have suddenly happened over the last couple days…. also more AU deets under the cut:

Subject 418 (Sammy/Prophet) is one of those open-third-eye-unlock-psychic-awareness dealies, a test of how far human awareness and psychic ability can be pushed. Prophet (more officially considered 418's "active state") is eager to please the doctor overseeing the experiments and believes that if he proves himself useful, he'll be given work and able to leave the facility - though his full power is too stressful to maintain constantly. The "resting state" (Sammy) only has a fraction of his powers, but is more sullen and uncooperative, and knows nobody gets out of here. Both are easily stressed and overstimulated by all their extra psychic feedback. Sammy doesn't know if he was always like this. It doesn't feel right, and he has to wonder if he originally came from Outside, but he can't remember a life before this place... He doesn't know if he ever had a name and stubbornly refers to everyone else by their numbers, too, bitter about those who remember their life outside.

Subject 430 (Jack, concept by @whatyouwantedmetosee with design thoughts by me) is lab-created! An empath with healing powers and the ability to share, broadcast, and change emotions, he's also blind and fairly dependent on others. Jack's not unhappy at the facility, happy to help, and often moved to Sammy's room to calm him down. Subject 414 (Henry, concept and design by @inkcryptid) was more-or-less kidnapped when his latent powers to see and experience different timelines were discovered. Intense experimentation has strengthened his powers but muddled his brain; he's been here for decades but seems to be caught in a loop of believing he's only been here a few days. Subject J-OIE (Joey, concept and design by @inkyvendingmachine) was a mutant child acquired by the facility as a baby, put in Henry's care early on and pretty devastated when Henry stopped remembering him. He has some dream abilities and can turn his whole body to a liquid form, but despite a lot of testing, he hasn't unlocked the ability to turn into anything else. Now an adult, he's not intentionally uncooperative when he sneaks around the facility… he's just bored, and desperate for attention. The Masked Messenger (concept collaborative, design by @haunted-hijinxer) doesn't have a name in this AU yet, but he's the doctor overseeing these experiments, and while he has lots of reasonable explanations for his research, it's very obvious he's just Curious and thinks human experimentation is very Interesting. The mask he wears supposedly nullifies the others' powers… but it's actually MM himself that does that, using the mask to hide the fact that he has powers, too.

Theres some other NPCs in this but I HAVENT DRAWN THEM YET so THAT WILL HAVE TO DO FOR NOW........ we'll see if I continue losing my mind or if I've gotten out of my system lmao

#call of cthulhu: haunted hijinx #lmao what do i even tag this as this is so many steps removed from its source #cthulhu experiment au #sammy lawrence #prophet sammy #the masked messenger #jack fain #henry stein #joey drew #when in doubt just keep drawing #aND THEN EVENTUALLY THEY ALL ESCAPE TOGETHER it just takes some doing to get there........

[northern-passage]

im curious, if you had to choose an animal to represent each of the tnp major characters/ros, what would it be?

oh i believe i answered this before but i'm not sure i remember completely...

Lea: wolf

Merry: leopard

Clementine: jackal

Noel: raven

#i feel like their animals are kinda obvious hahaha and like most of them except for merry align directly with a god #merry is hard i mainly go with a big cat bc of sea lion/leopard seal #she wouldnt fit as a seal though her god is a leopard seal. i think i did say that last time but nah i like her as cat #noel gets raven/crow imagery for the messenger and also bc of plague doctor masks #im imagining them as furries now. i would draw them if i could it would be cute #lea chen #merry harlowe #clementine #noel lykaon #ask #anonymous

Currently brainrotting over the concept that Mint Eye apparently has multiple copycat cults within the same mountain range

#like what do you mean there are two other cults nearby #and they apparently have enough knowledge of what’s going on at mint eye to be aware of their masking and social distancing policies #like that just seems like an excessive number of cults #mystic messenger #this is from the 2020 4th anniversary seasonal chat btw if anyone is interested

[sapphicdib]

hey random thought but I was looking at the overseer description on the rain world wiki and it said that the green overseers only spawn in outer expanse and subterranean and that got me thinking

unlike spearmaster who had srs watching over them through the red overseer (until pebbles zap it outta existence) Hunter didn’t have any overseer watching over them

That means that Nsh wouldn’t know for sure if Hunter succeed in the mission because Hunter never made it back home, either succumbing to the rot or passing on through the void sea and Siggy wasn’t watching his cat unlike Suns

Nsh probably thought that once Moon wakes up, she could message the entire local group again however, Moon’s collapse left her in a state where she couldn’t communicate with the other iterators even after her revival

I mean, to cut slack for Nsh. Pebbles did put the entire region into lockdown (see five pebbles dialogue for when gourmand first enters the cann) so he probably couldn’t get in with Hunter but still

from Nsh’s perspective moon’s fate is uncertain. His hunter’s fate is uncertain.

Maybe he saw the little messenger going through subterranean which meant that Hunter probably succeeded. Maybe the last he has seen if his slugcat was before the Hunter entered the region and Hunter hasn’t returned home yet nor did Moon showed any signs of activity.

Maybe his plan worked and the keys were delivered. He wouldn’t know for sure…

basically all I’m saying is that Nsh feels like the person who would had definitely thrown more (hopefully non-cancerous) slugcats towards Moon instead of tossing Hunter and the angstiest option for why he didn’t was because he thought his plan fail as Hunter will never go home in the base game and Moon couldn’t communicate her revive

UGH YES!!! i hc that you can still see sig’s overseers sometimes in subterranean/outer expanse is because she’s still…well, desperately searching. at first for a sign of hunter, and then for a sign of moon when he realizes hunter’s probably not returning, or perhaps a way to get into the facility to see if his plan even worked.

part of the reason i think hunter was so sick is just because by the time sig made her, his facility wasn’t in the best shape, and he was rushing, desperate to save moon. in the note she sends her it literally says “excuse the unorthodox delivery method, equipment eroding etc etc”. i truly do not believe sig is “bad at making slugcats” or “didn’t follow suns’ instructions” because his dialogue PROVES THAT HE CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT FIRST. (sorry that shit grinds my gears when ppl brush sig off as either stupid or malicious when it comes to hunter) because like…this mission is SO important to her. why the hell would he make hunter sick, therefore limiting her time to get to moon and possibly causing her death before she could reach her goal?

hunter’s last wish in the void sea is to be back in sig’s arms. if he were truly malicious/didn’t show respect for her messengers, why would hunter want to return? so yeah, seeing his overseer out in the outer expanse, searching for hunter or a sign of moon being alive just ;-;

i don’t rlly think she sent more messengers after that, mainly bc he knows any slugcats he makes after hunter will likely meet the same fate due to the erosion of her equipment/the fact he thinks “there will be nothing left of moon by the time one is ready”. sig just breaks my heart because she tried and tried and tried, reaching out as far as he could, and still never knew if his plan even worked. i’m gonna stop here bc if i keep talking i am going to be writing a goddamn essay that would be better than anything i ever turned in in university LMFAO i have so many goddamn Feelings about no significant harassment rain world.

also me n ghost are actually doing an rp that’s kind of like this lmfao, and in it the reason hunter gets sick is because sig basically works herself so hard she ends up damaging his structure and the sudden power failure/shutdown affects his experiments. (obviously that has no basis in canon and is more just us writing fanfiction about what could have possibly happened)

anyways after all that angst, here is a screenshot from my game where sig’s overseer showed up and sees moon bringing sluppy hunter home :’) in my dreams i can pretend she made it back LMFAO

#THIS GAME HURTS ME SO MUUUUCH #GOD I LOVE IT #GOD I LOVE SIG #i could literally write essays about sig’s personality and motives and stuff like #do not get me wrong. i love the silly memey jokester personality the fandom gives her…but that is covering up so much grief and anger that #it’s clearly just a mask he’s using to seem okay…as much as i hate the whole ‘happy character is actually sad’ trope #i absolutely adore sig. i love making him goofy and sweet but god is he carrying so much angst on his shoulders #tbh he really gets the short end of the damn stick in game…at least suns gets their messenger back lol #anyways yeah. i love my goofy bioengineer who loves his friends and tries to keep the mood light but in the end just gets crushed w grief #HOUGH. HUNTERS CAMPAIGN IS MY FAV FOR A REASON. #rw #letters #sorry this took so long to respond to i wanted to make my thoughts at least semi organized

No offense out of theses 3 games, Obey me MC has the most common sense of the 3

#twisted wonderland #obey me #mystic messenger #mysme mc got in a car to test a game she could easily test on her phone at home and meet up at like kfc or smth to discuss it BUT NOOOO #SHE GOT IN A CAR WITH STRANGERS AND WENT TO A CULT AND MADE THINGS DIFFICULT #‘Awww you want me to put a sleeping mask on while you drive me to a second location??? OK!!!’ * gets in car* #* meets several mentally ill people and ends up being a therapist* #but twst mc is a kid it’s understandable but Jamils mind controlling Kalim was pretty obvious :/ #like Jamil wasn’t even being sneaky #obey me mc although a sheep and is the family therapist they can hold down a job and do many things

do NOT confuse Jumin Autism with Saeyoung Autism

which is candidly AuDHD but focusing on the autism side, that's hyperfixating on 1 person and doing everything in your life for that 1 person; masking so often and with so many different personas that you forget your actual personality; joking to cope; joking at the wrong moments to cope; and being exceptionally gifted/proficient in a couple select areas (namely tech and languages)

#saeyoung choi #707 #luciel choi #mystic messenger #Mysmes #Mysme #Mm #Deep story really says do you want Repressed Autism in a Pinstripe Suit or Hyperactive Autism in a Clown Mask?

Love Requires Sacrifice, After All

A few weeks after the idea was raised to get Prophet his own space, Joey has taken steps to arrange the perfect sanctuary, and is eager to share it. Besides, Prophet had been asking to contact the Masked Messenger...and maybe he's not the only one hoping for a chat.

ok fan fic have in my head but have never written down, i need you to understand there is a playlist, it has a title, i just haven’t written it.

yet.

ok so the Title is Love Letters Left in a Alchemy Textbook, it’s inspired by this passage in White Noise

————

when Juline started Foxfire, she was tired and angry at the world she lived in; she took it out on her peers and her mentors alike, like an avalanche destroying everything in its path.

Juline’s outbursts would be blamed on her elemental

ability. Everyone knew that elementals were unstable. Why would she be any different?

Edaline was the only one who actually understood her anger. She would wipe away Juline’s angry tears late at night, telling her that she didn’t have to deal with it forever and could be free of it all one day.

her parents pretended like everything was fine until they were told that she was starting to fail school and had lashed out harming another prodigy in the process and could be expelled and possibly banished

they pulled every string they could to keep her from getting a tribunal and got her several tutors, most were members of Noblity, but they were desperate enough to allow the prodigy with the highest alchemy grades in three centuries to tutor her, even though he was the youngest of six, from a working-class family, and was most likely Talentless

that alchemy tutor was a boy with messy strawberry-blonde hair and periwinkle eyes that sparkled with mischief behind his crooked glasses.

he never once asked her to keep a secret and was one of the most honest people she had ever met, his clothes were always stained with some sort of elixer, and he had the most contagious laugh. Juline found herself spending time with him and his friends outside of her touting sessions, and she started counting down the hours until she got to see him again and realized she had her own secret to keep.”

————

i actually ended up starting the outline when answering this ask so maybe i’ll end up writing it sooner rather then later

in light of the most recent cthulhu convo here is my extremely accurate artistic depiction of the masked messenger's dynamic with Joey and Prophet
