The Multifandom Infection AU

Disclaimer:

The Source Entity: Sadboi X. A creature capable of utilizing the internet to track down its victims. However, it seems to prefer toying with its prey, using various forms of media (like movies, video games, TV shows, books, internet-exclusive media like webpages, and even other creepypastas) to mess with the target's emotional state, usually eliciting fear from playing with its food, so to say. The creature is not a mindless beast, and is actually pretty intelligent, having a deep understanding of technology to find its victims and remain unseen. This creature is known as Sadboi X, a humanoid cubehead with tattered clothes and long, blackened, and gnarled claws for hands. Sadboi X already has accumulated millions, if not billions, of victims, and she takes their souls to upload into the internet to make more cubeheads. Sadboi X has the ultimate goal of plunging the human race into extinction as a form of supernatural revolution, as humanity has a long history of oppressing such supernatural occurrences and entities. Sadboi X is aware of their status, often identifying herself as an "exe-type entity", and is aware of the tropes of the exe genre, often playing into them for fun. Sadboi X doesn't just dwell in the internet, however… when they deem the moment right, or when they're bored of toying around, she'll manifest in a physical form and kill her target then. Unrestrained by physical location, typical paranormal/supernatural weaknesses, or genre, Sadboi X is a monster of humanity's own unintentional making who is running rampant globally. Sadboi X uses fears relating to the internet and AI, mixing them with media-centric "Sonic.exe"-type creepypasta tropes in ways both subversive and terrifying. Her behavior, an usually an unsettling mixture of playfulness and sadism, and her knowledge of media contrasts both her cold and calculating actions and her cruelly activistic motives. Her very nature is old malware chaos blended with internet nonsense, sheer fandom insanity, and a vengeful spirit willing to force visceral moments of humans killing the supernatural for their own means into her victim's head. She often injects visions of other cryptids and mythological entities into her games, throwing investigators off her scent with red herrings.

The Infection: The infection itself is merely a symptom of being hunted down by Sadboi X, who is the larger threat.
