I will draw tomorrow i swear

[likesdoodling]

I have finished The Angst Version™~ (of chapter 50 of The Harrowing by @chthonion >:D) The bonus chapter added some stuff/re-inspired me, which is all to the good imo~ gotta get that Maximum Angst Factor AMMIRIGHT?? >:D (also. Mostly paraphrasing stuff just so you're aware~)

Then we got some of the conversation~ (without dialogue, 'cause a picture tells a thousand words~ >:D)

Then a sketch that was completely inspired by the bonus chapter-

It's not as 'polished' as the other ones, I just had thoughts about that tidbit and decided I absolutely had to mention it- so it got a drawing to match. :D

And finally, because I don't want to end this on too depressing a note-

:')

I'm not crying, you are.

My personal favourites include Extra Angry Maedhros + hands over the face Annatar, - then- actually. y'know what? I can't pick favourites. I like them all too much to do that. But that was the 'segment' that I experimented on - to try and convey the emotions through how chaotic/forceful the lines were, and it worked exactly how I wanted it to. Which is very satisfying.

>:D

(also, I don't think Maedhros was quite that visibly angry in the actual chapter, but it's supposed to be a mix of that plus Annatar's perception of him/what made Annatar panic. Make of that what you will. Eheh. Eheh. Eheh. >:D)

guess who spent their entire evening building Loop sprites

drew my faves.... smiles big and wide

Some may be surprised or even shocked to learn upon gazing at the (absolutely bangin') exclusive poster art that Hermie the Unworthy is blonde, and while I think it is perfectly valid and plausible to assume that he has simply bleached it to be that way, I would also ask you to consider that this is now our most scientifically plausible explantion we have to date for why he is Like That.

Good evening, tumblr-dot-com. You should all be informed that I have shown up to a party approximately four-five years postmortem and I am struggling to be normal about it.

Anyways here's some space pirates because I have now drawn them each at least once in the Simplified Style.

Don't pay attention to why everything is markedly different in quality, this is normal. And also I am scrabbling desperately for accurate impressions of characters and their dynamics please be nice

Oh yeah and here's a secret, bonus Gunpowder Tim from the same sketchbook page as the Nastya because I can assure you everything on that page has a similar tone (I was having a time)

[bugpoolz]

who up androiding their javert

He has a pen :) that he spins; the thought process here was truncheon -> cylinder shaped (and a truncheon would probably not be the most useful in 2038… when everyone has guns,,, PLUS androids aren’t allowed to wield weapons or something but anyways) -> pen (cylinder shaped)

Android Javert’s weapon of choice would be a sleek dagger that he keeps in the inside of his jacket. And he throws it with crazy accuracy and it’s incredibly scary

I tried to make his outfit different from Connor with a detective-y cape thing but i don’t think it would work since it obscures his triangle thing. I don’t think they would allow that

more yapping below if anyone cares (it’s a tad bit long. Just a little.)

I’ve been thinking about it (somewhat) but I think I’ve figured out a timeline that works

I condensed it as much as I could but the timing is Kind of questionable

But anyways! Valjean does NOT go to jail because he is an android. He would either be a gardener model like Simon or one of those construction models like Luther (I’m leaning towards construction because Valjean’s strength.. but then again I have no idea how strong android gardeners are so I don’t know) ands his serial number (which is supposed to be like really long but I shortened it for conveniences sake) is 24601 😁

One day he sees a woman struggling to feed her 7 kids and she looks so desperate that Valjean deviates and tries to steal a loaf of bread for her. He gets caught but the store owner is baffled at the fact that an android!!! Is breaking the law!!! That he hesitates for a second to call the cops (or cyberlife???). But that’s enough time for Valjean to book it.

“But wait Kaden Androids don’t have names how does Valjean get his name” good question! I have no idea! The woman with 7 kids’ is meant to be his sister, who’s also conveniently named Jeanne Valjean. Let’s just say he was like “okay, you’re the catalyst for my deviation. I’m gonna take your name :) but identity fraud is bad so I’ll change it up a little” and Jeanne becomes Jean. Cool!

Anyways (new drinking game take a shot every time I say anyways) Javert just got assigned his first case! Yay! He was sent by Cyberlife to investigate a faulty android in the world’s first deviant case. He talks to the shopkeeper, he interrogates the woman and her kids with a little more force than necessary, and files her name away because there has to be something about that woman to make a fully functional android go rogue!

But in the end, Javert’s unable to find Valjean, and thus fails his first mission, which would probably be incredibly upsetting if he could feel emotions. He doesn’t want to fail, because he wasn’t built to fail, so he makes it one of his objectives to find the first deviant.

Meanwhile, Valjean is on the run! It’s maybe been a week or so since he deviated? His face hasn’t been broadly broadcasted because Cyberlife is trying to keep it all hushed up that androids can go deviant. He hasn’t had the bright idea to cut off his LED yet, so he’s just meandering about.

He’s experienced his fair share of discrimination at this point, and he is TIRED! Valjean is this close to calling off on all humans forever until the bishop gives him a place to stay, is nice to him, gives him spare blue blood , EVERYTHING. In place of the candlesticks is probably just normal money. But yeah

Valjean’s like, “you’d help me!!?!?! Even though I’m visibly an android??!!?!?!”

Anyways he’s on his merry way to a different town to get away from the police, he puts on a human disguise and gets rid of his LED, somehow reconstructs his face, gets a fake mustache, changes his hair to a different color, all that fun identity stuff like faking an id & drivers license, his birth certificate, papers, etc.

Somehow, he becomes the mayor of a town, after like a year of living there. And Valjean’s understandably very nervous, and tries to deny it and people are just like “wow father Madeline is so humble 🙏🙏”

Some random deviant thing happens nearby the town and enter Javert! He’s the lead investigator for all deviant cases (with the power of being incredibly efficient and proving himself to be trustworthy he is allowed to work alone and without a partner)

So yeah, Javert’s sniffing around the scene & decides that maybe some townspeople saw the incident? And it would help with the case?

So he goes to the town & finds out about Madeline , and cue the brain neuron activation when he actually sees the mayor for himself.

by every single god and holy presence above, Javert’s facial recognition doesn’t clock Valjean immediately, but he is suspicious so he files a report claiming the the mayor might be that one deviant

And then Valjean meets Fantine, who is human, and has lost her job due to androids.

She turned to becoming a red ice dealer, and has a seething hatred for androids. She’s also super sick (partly from living in some random hole in the wall apartment and partly from the not very safe drugs she’s dealing… chemicals or something)

Then the whole cart crash thing happens but instead with cars and Valjean lifts a whole car up by himself and Javert’s like “well shit it IS that deviant” but before he does anything like arresting Valjean he gets a report that they found a deviant android that just so happens to be the same model as Valjean

Cue “punish me Monsieur le Mayor” & everything that happens after — Fantine dies & Valjean promises to get Cosette. Javert is furious and tries to corner Valjean in the hospital but gets overpowered (javert has the chance to shoot him, but doesn’t for some reason)(cough, software instability ⏫, cough),, and Valjean gets away

Uhhh some rapid fire stuff im not sure where to put

Thénardier has upgraded to a shitty hotel instead of an inn. Good for him. He also does weird illegal creepy stuff with androids like taking them apart and selling the parts for cash. He recognizes Valjean as an android but doesn’t do anything about it because 1. Valjean is super buff and scary and 2. It could be blackmail later 😮😮

Javert has not failed a single mission EXCEPT for those concerning Valjean

Javert’s mind palace person is Valjean (it makes him extremely angry seeing Valjean in his mind, where he’s supposed to be free) and his appearance updates every time he sees Valjean

Javert calls doesn’t know that Valjean is named Valjean, he calls him “that deviant” — however, he has noticed that the deviant had a very strong reaction to the name “Jeanne Valjean”

The Amis are androids (I don’t know them all tbh. Sorry guys you can decide who’s what), so amending this: Enjolras is DEFINITELY an android. They try to lead a revolution in the span of 3 days but unfortunately they’re not Markus so they fail

Marius, Eponine, and Cosette are humans; Cosette doesn’t know her father is an android (somehow)

Javert lowkey doesn’t even have to wear a disguise to the barricade he just pretends he’s deviant (everyone’s extremely hesitant to let him in because he’s known as the “deviant hunter” but Enjolras lets him in)

Gavroche is a human kid (and symbolizes that bonds between humans and androids are possible… something like that idk)

Pre-deviancy/myriel Valjean has blond hair & a middle part, when he changes his appearance in m sur m he makes his hair a dark brown & adopts a side part; after the trial when he’s on the run he changes his hair to white

At the barricade, when Valjean frees Javert, they!!! Interface!!! They do the android equivalent of a kiss!!! Because I said so!!! And that’s the exact moment Javert deviates and yes I am packing this scene full of valvert bullshit and no you cannot stop me

When they’re sharing memories Javert gets an epiphany and he knows that Valjeans not lying about his intent & now Javert ALSO has to deal with feeling emotions for the first time; he also learns that Valjean’s name is valjean and that when he said “Jeanne Valjean” as in the woman, Valjean thought he said “Jean Valjean” as in the deviant and they have a moment

and maybe Javert refers to Valjean as a ‘he’ instead of an ‘it’ for the first time 👀 maybe he does that

And then he jumps off a bridge! Bro really experiences emotions for the very first time and immediately kills himself. But hey Valjean and Javert have one thing in common :) their first emotion is soul crushing GUILT

and then all that other stuff happens.. oh and Valjean shows the barricade boys that he’s an android so they let him in,, he just somehow snuck into the barricade without being noticed by law enforcement I don’t know anymore

I do intend on making actual art of this au and not just shitty doodles 😁👍 by the way

Feel free to add onto this!! Please tell me your ideas because I think my brain is going to explode if I have to think about this anymore.

Ling!!!

What if Eris' wife started an affair with Marius instead?

holy shit i fucking SCREAMED at this. thee situation of all time perhaps????

because see like when it comes to marius, eris carries a Lot of guilt. he blames beron and tamlin and even lucien, to an extent, for silas and ronan’s deaths — but he blames himself infinitely more. he should have been smarter, he should have played the game better, he should have been there to keep all of his brothers alive, he should have raised them better to begin with, etc. he very much views marius’ mental state in the aftermath as his fault and takes responsibility for it because of this. in canon verse, the reason eris allows maronia to exist at all — even knowing what a true threat emile would be if he found out — is that he knows marius is only alive because of adonia. if he took adonia away from marius, he would for sure lose his brother; but if he can (secretly) help maronia conceal their relationship from emile, then there’s a better chance no one dies at all. just for context for the rest of this answer lmfao

okay so i’m going to assume that if eris’s wife is willing to cheat on him, they probably have an arranged marriage situation with no mating bond and no real love between them. (or maybe the wife just doesn’t realize eris has feelings for her because he’s bad at them. which would make this even more devastating.) she is looking for the love and affection she isn’t getting from eris. i’m also going to assume it’s a similar situation to maronia when marius goes into it — at least at first, he just wants eris to find out and kill him for it.

unfortunately for literally everybody involved here, eris wouldn’t be able to kill marius once he found out, and he also wouldn’t be able to separate them because he knows marius will kill himself without her. he has already lost three brothers: two to death and one to exile. he cannot lose another, let alone by his own hand, let alone when he knows exactly why marius is doing what he’s doing. there’s also nothing eris wouldn’t forgive his brothers for doing to him, even if he never says or shows that. he loves them so much. even when he hates them, he loves them. even when he’s cruel to them, he loves them. even when they’re actively trying to hurt or kill him, he loves them. he knows what they are. he knows what it is to be ruined by their father and endure the shame from their mother.

so eris finds out, keeps that knowledge to himself so that he isn’t forced to do anything about it, and lets the affair continue. probably even helps cover it up so that no one else knows — again because if it gets out, his hand will be forced, and he will have to retaliate; he wouldn’t be respected if he was publicly made into a cuckold and just sat by for it.

but that doesn’t mean he handles it with grace. at all. this is a betrayal uniquely designed to torment him The Most. his wife has made him into beron by doing this — and now no matter how he acts, he will see his father in himself. more than he already does. he is beron, his wife is his mother, and marius is helion. she has also confirmed to him that he is unlovable, unworthy of being chosen, and too rotten to find anything salvageable in. without her in his corner, he spirals into the worst version of himself. (i went into more depth on this in this ask.) all of that, and on top of it, she’s cheating on him with his active suicide threat baby brother.

i mean he is really so fucking nasty to both of them. just truly vile. whatever vitriol you think he could spew, multiply it by a thousand. he has to lash at them; he has to make them hurt, too. because his hands are completely tied here! and there’s nothing else he can do about it but make them as miserable as he has to be. of course all that does, really, is push his wife closer and closer to marius. the more hostile he gets, the more comforting the embrace of one another. he has to watch as what had essentially started as a suicide attempt becomes love. he has to watch them fall in love right in front of him.

and like … they all know. and they all know that they all know. it’s just this terrible, awful, unspoken thing between the three of them. marius knows eris knows and can’t understand why he’s still alive, so he gets even bolder — probably gets really antagonistic with eris on the outset to try to goad eris into killing him. the wife knows eris knows because he’s being so cruel and the sex they’re still having is so punishing, so hate-filled. eris knows they know he knows because of the fraught way they look at him, the tension when they meet each other’s eyes, the tangible silence that permeates every interaction.

he hates them for doing this to him. he hates them because he can’t do anything about it. he hates marius because he still loves marius. he hates marius because he would still do anything to protect marius. he hates her for not loving him. he hates himself for being so unlovable. he hates himself for being his father. it is just all around a very, very bad time for everyone — but, as always, especially for eris.
