#Pod Pack

[soosoosoup]

Haaayy can you tell us more about your au where branch finds cooper's egg?

Hiiii!! Thanks for asking! And of course :)

lol turns out I had a lot more thought out. Fair warning, none of this is concrete, this was thought up a while ago and uhhhhh… writing is not my strong suit lol

In this au I had debated whether to make copper a little bit younger, I already hc him as the youngest of the snack pack so idk if its needed lol.

While in the beginning of making his bunker, branch (who’s maybe 7??) would travel farther out into the forest and gather supplies to build when he stumbles on what looks like an egg? Just in time too, ‘cause Coops pops out like in twt, does his little groove, & then proceeds to flop over to nap (being baby is tiring work).

Branch is just ??? cause like what?? Baby? Way out here in the woods?? Why does the baby have 4 legs??? Why is said baby all alone? And that last part makes b pause for a sec bc where’s his family? Did he lose them? Or is it even worse…was he left behind? (He might be projecting a lil).

Cooper and Branch proceed to live where other kids w/o families go. Caretakers try to care for cooper & he is not having it. After all, branch is the first person he’d ever seen, was the first person who’d carried him. He’s imprinted on branch and whole heartedly believes and he is his family. So if C needs to be taken care of B has to be there. It goes on long enough that the caretaker decides it'll just easier if branch helped take care of him; and who knows maybe he'll regain his color being around such a happy little goober.

At first, branch doesn’t realize how much he means to C and assumes his attachment will fade. After all why wouldn’t it when he’s being doted on by warm and cheerful trolls. But nope! Whenever the caretakers aren't taking cooper around the village, Cooper is always following Branch. Around the pod, and through the woods. Branch looks out for him, talks to him, teaches him what he can, and even plays games! I think the fact that branch has been a part of Coopers whole life gives him a sense of obligation perhaps like a big brother?. It's easy to be open to him.

All attempts to foster Cooper are unsuccessful. It's not that Cooper doesn't match the family, it's that he just doesn't want to live with them. Imagine a foster family having the time of their lives singing & playing around & when the time comes Cooper's like 'I had a lot of fun today! Time to go! what?? Stay here? be a part of your family? ...Nope :D

When the time comes that the bunker can feasibly house him, (preteen?) Branch packs up what little he owns, and prepares to leave that night. It's not like the anyone at the orphanage would chase after him. Well, except for one trolling.

It's been years, long enough that their bond is strong, they're brothers in all but name. At least unnamed on branch's side, he kind of refuses to acknowledge it.

Anyway- Branch waits until everyone falls asleep and sneaks out. He doesn't even make it out of the room lol. One foot out the door and a sleepy voice is asking him where he's going. Branch just says he's going to the bunker, that he'll see him soon, it won't be forever you see what im trying to parallel? and it's true. It's not like he's leaving to who knows where. Cooper just nods & yawns out a "bye, see you later". Love me a parallel

Branch lasts an hour or two in the bunker. He's on edge the whole time, racked w/ guilt. Has a little mental spiral until there is just one loud thought of 'what am i doing? there's someone waiting for me' and runs back.

In the joined room, Cooper fell asleep on branch's bed waiting for him. So making sure not to wake him, Branch rests coopers head on his lap. Leaning against the headboard Branch just stares at his vest left at the end of the bed & has a moment of clarity. Like oh, that's why i felt terrible, i left my little brother behind. (Keep in mind that no, he didn’t really do that, but he’s a kid and that whole ‘see you later’ really shook him so he’s making some jumps in logic)(there some projecting happening as well)

So yeah, gained a brother!! yay!!! Cooper beat you to that revelation yeeaarrrss ago lol.

One thing I like about branch being a big bro is this idea that the more he learns about what it means to be one, the less he can understand his brothers. And are they his brothers?? Over the years it’s not looking like it.

Random: I want someone to do research between how orcas function versus how wolves function in their respective territories - the similarities and differences.

Especially because orcas descend from Wolflike creatures that once dwelled near shallower parts of the ocean.

And Orcas have been called "sea wolf" or "wolves of the sea" for centuries... ?

Y’all should go listen to Human Error because a lot of love went into the show and (in my biased opinion lol) it’s very good! Season 2 is slowly but surely coming along and I just love this show so much 🥺 bonus is it’s got found family, disabled characters, and a zombie apocalypse 🤩

Pics! Got a good start on our base, but it still needs a lot of work. >.<

I did take a group shot of our tames, but it turned out so dark you can't see anything so. Will try again next time. >.>

Kel found a max-level otter! She is adorable and the river will keep her well-fed. \o/

We needed a break from building so went on the hunt, our new imprinted raptors are amazing. And we found a 120 ravager, got her pretty easy, and while waiting for her to tame we spotted a 145 spino!

His tame was stressful. Got the message that the server needed updates right when we saw him, but we had a 45 minute window so decided we'd try. Got him trapped and knocked out easily enough, then sat and fretted while he ate. He finished with ~5 minutes left so we balled him and booked it home, got lost, and we both had to stop where we were and log out. I at least had most of the trap stuff on me so I walled myself in, Kel found a ledge mostly out of harm's way. We got back on soon as the server was back up and made it the rest of the way home safely. XD

Tomorrow will be a lot more resource grinding, now that we have tames with decent weight we need metal and crystal badly. Gonna finish up the house and get a bunch of pods crafted, then we'll see what else we might feel like getting up to.

i am going to quit smoking cigarettes and vaping in the next little bit. i ordered some like no nicotine vape to help w the hand to mouth habit but this is the first time i’ll ever be quitting (on my own accord, not bc i was institutionalized). and i’ve been smoking since i was 12.

going to try and replace the habit w sparkling water, lifting and maybe some like. crafty hobby? open to suggestions here if anyone’s quit smoking after years and years of constant use.
