Hey guys, I know that Alex and Clyde are our main sillies for the Sitcom AU, but can we talk about Officer Kruger and Klaus for a second.

No, no, stay in the chair, listen. Think about how Kruger in doai is being held at the foundation after confronting Clyde, think about how this man has been declared publicly dead, the police force they know he is alive and receiving "treatment" and how he is in actuality probably being experimented on.

This man, is heard pleading to Lankmann for death during "In Loving Memory", that man is forced to keep living with the aftermath of Veldigun sickness.

Stop, don't cut the rope, I'm not done yet. And then we have Klaus, who I've seen being interpreted as not having a clear distinction between Klaus Kruger and himself in terms of memories.

Think about how the most traumatic experience was seeing his father hanging inside of his closet, and probably the thing he would remember most- Stop screaming, I don't want to knock you out. Back to what I was saying, a newborn Veldigun with the memories of a traumatized young child, that is prime angst material when we add Kruger back into the mix.

How, would these two characters react to each other? I need you to think about this for a second, would Klaus have the voice of human Klaus? If so, what feelings would overtake the walking corpse of Officer Kruger? To those that hit Mortimer with the single-father-of-two beam, does he intervene in any way?

This idea has been eating at me for a while now, and I just need someone to talk about this or I'll go insane.

Anyway, I might write up my own interpretation of this scenario at a later time, but for now, that's all.

In the Queen Odile AU Siffrin could still get trapped in a time loop, maybe he hears roomers of a conspiracy from the prince to take the throne, or maybe it's the King, or maybe the prince is working with the King to get revenge, and Siffrin is scared of losing his new home, his friends (his family) so he makes a wish.

tbh this is purely a no-magic no-plot slice-of-life au to me. like i guess there's political machinations going on in the background but they're mostly just there for spice, yknow, like what's the point of a royal court without some background machinations for the queen to stress out about? there has to be some tension there in order for siffrin to be able to break it with their jingling! but make no mistake, my focus is on the jingling.

What if early on in the arc where Clyde and Alex are on the run, Alex is panicking like “we need to get out of here” and Clyde just goes through the thought process of “need to go fast, what goes fast? Cars, we need a car” and then at some point Clyde and Alex get separated and when they meet again Clyde has stolen a cop car or something? And because Clyde was the one who took it, technically Alex was still innocent? Idk just a random thought I had

[purplechaosguardian]

Okay okay so apparently my brain keeps feeding me random ideas that I don’t know what to do with but hear me out (inspired by @spookmuth ‘s post): what if we rope kruger into this. Could line up with the “wanted criminal” thing and the “patient 66 is freed” thing, too?

Cuz if I remember correctly, Kruger’s canonical deathdate was sometime in 1996? And patient 66 isn’t taken to the asylum until around 1990… Yeah I really don’t know where the hell I’m going with these but I just enjoy putting my little skrunklies in continuously fucked up situations and proceeding to put these traumatized little weirdos into an eventual found family (ft. their 6’6 demon cat)

Also Kruger gets to do this eventually (except instead of a shining figure he’s basically. half corpse):

YES

Kruger being the default father figure by default because one is still traumatized by her treatment at at asylum, one is a magnet for the Horrors, and Clyde is Clyde.

Speaking of which

“Jesus Christ what is that.”

“Its name is Clyde.”

“You named it?”

They eventually steal a car and it soon gets so full of veldigun and people it looks like this

[secret-spirit]

Now that the office idea is out i may offer:

The Sitcom Possum is the classic office pet.

I imagine it has it's own designated area to eat drink sleep and such. It's also trained not to eat paper for the sake of the arts and fics littered around in the office.

Everytime someone asks for a summary/explanation of the sitcom au/prometheus au someone brings over the possum for it to scream at the persons face(/lh) before bringing out like a summary whiteboard.

Throwing my hat into the ring and making my own eyesona :DD

Also look at me in the eye and tell me this isn't what happened HSHSHSJSJJSSJ

[luxury-nightmare]

Take your Alex to work day

Alex blinked their eyes a couple times and groans, sitting up from where they had been sleeping. What had happened? One minute they had been helping Simon with the barn, and now they were here.

Alex heard a noise behind them, causing them to panic. They whipped around, puffing up their wings to make them look bigger, only find another veldigun, passed out on the ground. Something about them seemed familiar, like looking at an old art you did. Despite the purple skin and feathered hair, Alex felt almost like they knew this velidgun, like maybe this is what they could’ve looked like if their transformation went differently.

The stranger stirred, then sat up, wings twitching uncomfortably. They turned around and met Alex’s eyes. “Where, am I?” they asked. Alex lowered their wings, “your guess is as good as mine.” They responded, and extended a hand, which the stranger took. Once they were both on their feet, Alex took a moment to look around. They were in some kind of office, painted in shades of black and purple. There were miscellaneous posters hung up across the walls, and every inch of the tables and counters were covered in notebooks and lose papers.

The stranger chuckled “Haven’t seen this much of a mess since Mort invited me over” they walked over to Alex “so, what’s your name?” “Alex” Alex responded, turning to look over at the stranger. “Well this is gonna get confusing” they giggled “my name’s also Alex. Alex Willams”

Alex froze “that can’t be right” they said shakily, as the other Alex looked at them with concern “My name is also Alex Willams”. The other Alex’s eyes widened “well it could be a coincidence right?” They laughed nervously, “what’s your middle name?” “Micheal” Alex replied, and the doppelgänger’s yellow eyes went even wider “Same” they replied nervously.

Suddenly, there was a rustling outside the door. Both Alexs puffed up their wings in fear, preparing for a battle.

“On the Void, Clyde, I’m not going to hurt your human.”

“WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM THEN?”

“That is harder to explain.”

The door flung open, revealing a panicked Clyde and another figure that Alex couldn’t make out in the frenzy. Clyde snarled, and looked up, only to see Alex and tackle them into a hug, tail wagging frantically.

“Sorry about that” the Ë̴̪̖̞́̂́̚n̷̨̗͙̺̰̏͊̕ͅt̸̜̐͝i̵̢̢̫͔̬̦̽͆͗̅̅̉t̴͠ͅy̸̢̝̼̼̪̑ said, stretching her top two arms, using the bottom ones to close the door behind her “It was incredibly protective of you, so I just took it with me. Less hassle y’know?”

Clyde let go of Alex, and they turned to look at the Ë̴̪̖̞́̂́̚n̷̨̗͙̺̰̏͊̕ͅt̸̜̐͝i̵̢̢̫͔̬̦̽͆͗̅̅̉t̴͠ͅy̸̢̝̼̼̪̑ across the room. She was tall, a silhouette with six glowing white eyes and twisted patterns covering her skin. Tall, purple-striped antlers extended from her hair, and two matching tails scratched the floor beneath her.

“Who are you?” Alex stuttered. They heard heavy breathing behind them, then turned to look at their doppelgänger “it’s you” they said breathlessly “you’re the Nightmare”. The Ë̴̪̖̞́̂́̚n̷̨̗͙̺̰̏͊̕ͅt̸̜̐͝i̵̢̢̫͔̬̦̽͆͗̅̅̉t̴͠ͅy̸̢̝̼̼̪̑, the Nightmare pinched the bridge of her nonexistent nose “fuck, right, Modern Prometheus” she muttered to herself, “just call me Lux”

”why are we here, Lux?” Alex asked. Clyde snarled and flexed its claws. “So, uh, me and my friends had an….idea, so here you are.” Their doppelgängers breath quickened, “There are more of you?” They said, their voice shaky. Alex looked over at them, clearly they knew something that Clyde and them didn’t.

“Hey Alex, it’s okay,” Lux made her way over to the doppelgänger, holding their hands in her lower pair, her upper pair on their shoulders. Clyde looked at them with confusion, and Alex shrugged. “I’m not going to hurt you”. Lux said to the doppelgänger. They took a shaky breath, and nodded.

“Who are you,” Alex said as Lux turned away from the doppelgänger “are you with the foundation?” Lux turned to Alex with a disgusted look “god no I have standards” she said, and Alex lowered their wings. It could still be a trap, but it was less likely.

“Okay” Lux took a breath “is everyone good?” There were tentative nods from the group. “Are you a velidgun?” Alex asked. Lux shook her head “nah, I just think you guys look cool” Lux turned to the door, making a sweeping gesture before opening it

“Alex, Alex again, Clyde”

“Welcome to the office”

*visibly vibrating with excitement* You're telling me that in an untranslated japan-exclusive master guide to card storylines, they go in depth on each of the Dark World monsters and the various jobs they hold in the kingdom hierarchy? And it includes fun trivia like the fact that Goldd is actually the junior in the Goldd/Silvaa partnership, or that Broww and Scarr work together in security, or that Khakki leads the black ops, a thing the dark world has???

[journey-to-the-attic]

diavolo calling ik his daughter feels so much crueler when you realise the ghost of her actual dad is literally there the whole time jhsshdhjsj

im really curious abt ik's story before becoming a demon though

i was thinking about that actually!!! okay so in this au, since the rules about demons and the devildom are different, i also get to make up new lore for how demons are born

so there are natural-born demons and human-born demons, and there's not too much difference apart from the way they're created; natural-born demons just sorta spawn in the devildom, while human-born demons are created from the remains of dead humans by certain scout demons

normally, human-born demons are created by violent/angry/spiteful/vengeful/etc. deaths, and the nature + abilities of the demon depend on the circumstances of their death. ik's death was an accident while playing like regular kids do - which is why she's mostly benign, and has weird cartoonish powers

these sort of deaths are usually left to reapers, but in this case the scout demon took pity and decided to give her a 'second life' of sorts by bringing her back as a demon - though, as is the case with all human-born demons, she doesn't remember her old life at all, and is only vaguely aware of her origin

i'd place her as originating from a few centuries in the past, plus she's used to all archaic magic tech in the devildom, so she is very wowed by human technological advancement. levi shows her super mario and she is totally enthralled

[l0sercherry]

what if we were coworkers in a horror office romcom and we chatted gossip after u had a mild mental break in the office haha just kidding unless u aren’t

[The art here is based on my fic The Archives, An Office sitcom under losercherry on ao3 lol shameless plug srry]

Broken Family (Part 1/3)

The alarms still rang out, but slowly, the screams started to get quieter and quieter, until the whole facility was silent.

Kenneth did not know if those outside were the ones dying or if it was himself, hopefully it was the latter. Ever since he came in contact with that... thing that killed those children, he has been suffering his every waking moment, he pleaded for the mercy that would be his death, but the doctor would always refuse him.

Now, he laid there, waiting for whatever was to come next. He saw the doors opening up and a figure entering, it looked like... what was the word they would always use? "Veldigun"? Yeah, another one of those monsters it seems. Kenneth was not fond of neither the doctor nor those creatures, but at least, this would finally bring him the peace he yearned for.

It had a tall and thin frame, darkened face and bright yellow eyes, just like the other, but everything else was different. Instead of a Halloween costume, this one wore a green jacket, a white shirt and had brown pants, as well as several tentacles? Sprouting from it's head that were spiked at the tip and had several green stripes. Somehow, this made it look more... human, but that did not matter, it would still kill him.

He closed his eyes, beggars can't be choosers, at this point he didn't care if he was some demon's dinner, all he cared was that he would no longer suffer. He did not expect for the thing to talk to him.

-Officer... Kruger?- It's voice sounded strange, like that of that cartoon that sometimes played on the monitors, but like it was trying to lower it. He was so thrown off by that he only just realized it said his name-

-Don't worry, we'll get you out just, let me help you up.- It rolled it's sleeves over it's claws and put it's hands under him. -Can you walk? or do you need me to-?-

-Why?- The creature looked surprised at the sudden question, Kenneth looked it dead in the eyes as he spoke. -Why are you helping me? Why are you not killing me? What do you want from me?- This could not be happening, this was not real, his freedom was so close, yet it denied him, was it because of how he looked? Was it because this creature wanted him to be in pain too? Was the world just enjoying watching him struggle between life and death?

The demon looked at him, first in confusion, then in pity. It moved away from him for just a little, before something shifted around them. In the blink of an eye, a person was standing in front of him instead, Eastridge didn't have that huge of a population and he used to belong to the police force, he recognized this person as one Alex Williams. The dying man didn't understand what this meant.

-I... Don't think I can explain this right now, all you need to know is that Herbert Lankmann is dead, we are letting all the patients free and... I look like this.- As they finished, so did the illusion, revealing once again the th... the veldigun.

They both stood in silence, Kenneth Kruger processed everything he just heard, saw and felt. Then, he looked at... Alex, with tired eyes he said.

-Please, lead the way.- And with that, they walked the halls of the facility, bodies of workers littered the floors, including those "Caretakers." The red lights could not hide the blood that pooled and was splattered around, broken monitors and cameras and the alarms were still going off. But Kruger could no longer hear it over the ringing in his ears, the steps he took and the weak beating of his heart.

Inching closer to the exit of that hellish place, he remembered his life before, the wife and son he was so painfully taken away from. Klaus should be... How many years passed? Time did not felt like it passed for him after everything he went through, sometimes it felt like he'd been forced to live for years on end. If he was going to die, he wished to see his family just one more time.

But it looks like whoever is watching over him, still felt like he hadn't suffered enough.

The cold night air hit him, he hugged himself closer with the lab coat Alex took from one of the dead for him, there was a lot of people outside, other "patients" he supposed. He also saw a couple more of the veldigun, including that one.

Even with all the voices, even with the howling of the winds, even with his own heart thumping loudly in his ears, he heard it. His voice, the voice of his son, he looked around frantically. Had his family come to this rescue too? That was the most hopeful scenario, because Kruger did not even wanted to think about the other possibilities-

-Klaus?- His voice almost a whisper, as he finally saw where the voice of his boy came from. And then, it was looking at him too.

*Lip smack* Why don’t we actually have a “Bring Your Veldigun Alex To Work Day”? Like we can build on a fanfic to imagine how our different Veldigun Alexs will interact on the office? I’ll probably start since I haven’t done anything for the office AU and y’all can reblog with your segments! This will be a multi writer fanfic! What do y’all think?

This idea was inspired by @luxury-nightmare

[blazefirefox]

my layout for my hallway in the doai Office space we've been conceptualizing, along with a thing I put too much into lol

part of a longer post but I didn't want it to be lost under a bunch of reblogs

(btw the door at the end of each end of the halls would lead to one of your mutuals' hallways. you just need to manifest really hard to change it)
