#Inventor's Absolution

[le-fruit-de-la-passion]

Perhaps a Hot Take: I don't have anything against JayVik as a ship, but the amount of people in the fandom who use it as an opportunity to be openly racist and misogynistic towards Mel and Sky, and to feminize/infantilize Viktor as a disabled man make it REALLY hard to enjoy

Give the kids a knife and see what crimes they will commit

I have come to imagine that many times, I remember that I had some AU's of each kids being a psychopath but I think I lost the format 😅. I feel like Nicky might be capable of committing homicide, I don't know.

The inventor (from the destination wars) is a genuinely interesting take on the early master. I have my own takes on him, since I don’t think big finish did the concept justice

It makes sense to me if we put him at the first regeneration, after theta left gallifrey and koschei left too. After all his personal shenanigans with kidnapping cia agents and such, maybe he went on some of his own adventures before ending up there. Maybe he had a few years, a few decades, maybe more, of doing his own thing. Trying to distract himself, fucking around, maybe he’s trying to find theta, etc. And then he crashes on destination, maybe he tried his dematerialisation circuit again, maybe something else broke. As he’s trying to repair things, he ends up sharing some time lord technology with the citizens. They’re blown away, and understandably revere him for providing them with this, even though it’s nothing to koschei.

He quickly realises he can get these people to literally worship him with almost no effort whatsoever, and that’s far too tempting for him to resist. It’s not like he has anyone or anything grounding him, and he can tell himself he’s not really hurting anyone. So, he shares more, he personally engineers solutions to the planet’s problems. He graduated the prydonian academy, it’s no big deal to him. But to them, he’s saving them. Not only saving, but providing comparative luxury they couldn’t have conceived of.

The people adore him, and he loves the attention. But obviously it’s not going to be enough for long, it never is for him. So he sets himself up away from everyone, he’s not a people person and seeing everyone’s joy has become something he resents, since it’s not something he can share. He wants to keep his prestige though, so he uses his technology and influence to set up intense surveillance, not that he needed to, they love him regardless. He’s their saviour. But generations go by, and now no one’s ever seen him. He’s a myth, a genuine deity to these people. Hiding himself away in a control room, watching generations live out their lives in worship of him, and feeling absolutely nothing. Because they’re not theta, all the worship and adoration the world means nothing to him if he still hasn’t seen his best friend since he left gallifrey.

So he sets up one of the screens, using a piece of time lord technology that can be wired into your memories, to play on repeat his memories of the academy and his time with theta. Over and over again, the same years. It’s the only screen he watches now, he’s not interested in keeping watch of destination. But they still worship him, while he continues to rot alone watching his memories surrounding by technology that can save worlds.

Unfortunately that’s not what big finish had in mind but whatevs

I need a Mel time/dimension travel fic stat. Idk how that'll work, what with Jayce and Viktor's fuckass shenanigans, but I need it. Maybe Ekko could even tag along for the ride.

@milestonekestrel had given me the bestest idea-

SWTD TLOU AU.

Caz as Joel, Suze as Tommy ig, Trots as Bill and Simon as Frank. Maybe Billy as Ellie or Robert depending on how Down Bad he is here.

Idk who Tess would be replaced by… maybe Finlay, without the weird not-dating-and-absolutely-together relationship. A lot of the relationships would change, obvs.

But no, what about Roy as Tommy? But then what about Suze? Ughhhh. Or Roy as Tess, and he dies… 😫.

And maybe Muir as Frank and Innes as Bill… or what about Muir as Sam and Innes as Henry! A lot of the relationships and side characters would change here, and a lot of the plot as well. Like, if we’re going with Billy as Ellie, then obviously a lots gonna change about the TLOU plot line.

But now it’s in my head! Billy as Ellie! He’s immune (GUESS WHERE HE WAS BIT TO FIND THAT OUT GUESS GUESS GUESS-), and his good old friend (old as in they were friends a long time ago) Caz finds out, and ends up traveling with him across the damn country. (Either America or Scotland, I’m not sure it depends on your perspective ig-)

If Roy is taking Tommy’s place, than they would’ve had to have had a falling out at some point… Jackson would be called Beira, obviously. The Firefly’s would be… Cadals…? Eh sure. Wait no, the Boston QZ would be Beira? I haven’t played pt2 yet, but when I do it’s gonna expand a lot on this AU.

If it’s Suze, then ig Caz would have left for the QZ (Beira) and Suze would’ve gone to join the… Firefly’s? Idk. And then there’s Cait and Maidie, but they could also just come into the story at a later time…

Caz and Billy would go across America or Scotland or some made-up amalgamation of the two, avoiding survivors and infected (it’d be less fungus-y, and more Shape-y) to get Billy to the Firefly’s (?), and at the end Caz, like, kills a whole lotta people to save him, and they go back to Jackson/Beira and live happily ever after with Suze and the other Jackson/Beira residents.

(And the ANGST! of Billy finding out what Caz did, and getting mad because this was HIS decision, even if he wasn’t getting a choice.)

BRODIE AND RAFFS AS HENRY AND SAM! THERE! FISH IS SAD NOW!!

Innes and Muir can be Bill and Frank from the game (if you know, YOU KNOW and can connect the dots there. It FITS) and Trots and Simon can be Bill and Frank from the show. Old guys, you know. It depends. :/.

Ig… if we’re going the game route, then Finlay can be… the sailor that starts the sewer community…? (iykyk).

Rennick gets to be game Robert. Idk if Robert’s in the show, but yeah. Unless he’s Marlene, but rn he’s Robert. Haha get Roberted idiot.

Addair gets some horrible death that I can’t remember but know probably happens somewhere in the game and/or show. I haven’t watched the show in a while, but eh. He’s not David (ew), I’m not THAT distasteful of him. Bernard Cunningham gets David. I don’t like Bernard Cunningham. (I’m probs messing up his name but whatever). (Who cares about him enough to get his name right, really?). (Man I hope I didn’t just anger the Bernard Cunningham fandom).

The rest is up for interpretation, ig. There’s other SWTD characters, like Gibbo and Archie and Douglas. And Alex and Sunil. And Dobbie and Bruce and Scoobie and Kelly and O’Conner and Davros and Roper and-

But I’m sure others can figure it out. I am a stupid lil Fish, and can’t think of these things on the spot.

…

CAZ AND SUZE LOSE CAIT AND MAIDIE DURING THE OUTBREAK LIKE SARAH AND THAT CAUSES THE DIVIDE BETWEEN THEM AND BILLY AND EVENTUALLY EACH OTHER UGHHHH—

i wish i could edit the lava lamp wikipedia page to include proper crediting of donald dunnet for actually inventing the first lava lamps but i think the sources being dunnets own family might get rejected and im scared of wikipedia editors

[inventinginventoroftruth]

He’s probably still there. Maybe you don’t spot him because he is out of his usual uniform?

He’s wearing a red shirt with a yellow collar with shirt sleeves that have a yellow stripe at the bottom. And also black pants

oh
