BORDERLANDS COLLEGE AU

Stupid idea I had a few nights ago, don't think too hard about the inconsistencies in ages and stuff. Probably just doing Vault Hunters and a few other characters.

ROLAND

Majoring in cybersecurity. Good student, studies and gets consistently high grades. Has a well-formulated meal and workout plan. Also an RA on campus. Roland is the guy you go to if you have issues. He might not be great at "talking you through them" or "showing empathy" but he always has solid advice and is well-respected by his peers.

BRICK

I was going to say "Brick wouldn't go to college in canon" but this isn't canon babeyyyy. Brick is going into veterinary medicine. You may think this is completely off as a major for him, but I argue that his love for dogs is far greater than any challenge he may face in his education. Still a gym maniac. Roland is his RA, which means Roland is in charge of calming Brick down when he gets mad. Dating Mordecai. Also, unrelated but Brick in a philosophy class:

"Brick, can you tell us what you think about what Descartes said?"

"I PUNCH Descartes."

LILITH

Y'all are going to hate me for this but Lilith is a chemistry major. Girl loves fire, electricity, and acid so you can't tell me she wouldn't be a menace in her labs. (Also, before the first game was released her full title was "Dr. Lilith Cashlin, Mercenary Scientist") Only goes to class half the time but still does really well. Rooms with Mordecai and Brick. Huge crush on this RA she keeps seeing around

MORDECAI

BIRD MAAAAAN. Y'all already know this guy is doing two things on campus. 1) Majoring in Ornithology 2) Going to parties to get drunk. This man is the epitome of "college is for partying". Keeps birds in campus (not allowed) and is doing okay in his classes (he is hung over 80% of the time) (Mordy pls) Dating Brick.

PATRICIA TANNIS

Honestly, what field of science ISN'T this girl majoring in? She's insane(ly smart) and constantly gets perfect scores on all of her exams. Closest friends are Roland and the gang.

MARCUS

Why is he here??? What??? Marcus is the guy who runs the restaurant that is directly across the street from campus. *Phenomenal* food, but GOD is it pricey. Tends to not care about many of the students chilling (as long as they BUY SOMETHING)

SCOOTER

Doesn't go to this college but he's good friends with Roland and his pals. Likes to go out drinking with them on the weekends and is just all-in-all a cool guy to hang around with. Friends with Janey.

AXTON

BMOC. Captain of the football team. You can trust him! (He's the water boy.) Total jock but he's not an asshole about it. Majoring in Rehabilitation Science. He's... not the *best* student, but he does try and genuinely care about what he wants to do. Lives with Salvador, Maya, and Zer0 in a dorm.

SALVADOR

Culinary major. My man can COOK. He's the best cook in the dorm and no one will ever argue if he offers to cook. Really good student even though he parties all the time with Mordecai, Brick, and Axton. Lives with Maya, Axton, and Zer0.

ZER0

*Insert weeb joke here* They're a literature major. Not just because of the haiku, either. I feel like Zer0 would be fantastic in literature courses and understanding thr deeper meanings in texts. They are seen as a "weird kid" on campus. They do not care. Lives with Maya, Salvador, and Axton.

MAYA

The reason I made this list (big surprise, V does a huge post and it's Maya's fault), Maya majors in entomology. (S/O to @forbiddenpurplesoda for this because I've always thought Maya would be a bug girl) Maya is a phenomenal student and she always gets great marks in her studies. Lives with Axton, Sal and Zer0. Has at least one pet beetle that makes Axton panic.

GAIGE

Mechanical Engineering/Robotics major. Obviously built Deathtrap as a buddy because she felt a little lonely in her dorm. Calls her Dad every night. Has a huge crush on a girl in one of her math classes. Lives with...

KRIEG!!!!

Listen. Listen. Krieg majors in psychology. The *actual* football captain. Doesn't talk much and when he does, it's complete nonsense. (Everyone just goes "haha classic Krieg") Gaige gets along with him extremely well. Maya and him have a thing where they will just look at each other and think "holy shit they're so gorgeous). Always wears a face mask.

TINA

Child prodigy chemistry major, buddies with Lilith and Roland. But seriously, who let this kid in the lab? Like, okay, yeah, she knows what she's doing, but what she's doing is COMBUSTION REACTIONS. How is she still in school.

ELLIE

Engineering major. Lives in the building across from Roland and the gang. Absolute sweetheart and huge flirt but will also drop you on her ass if you threaten her friends.

MOXXI

I could see Moxxi as a professor of engineering, actually. Every student thinks she's gorgeous and she's learned to ignore it. Scooter and Ellie's Mom. Thinks their friends are funny.

HANDSOME JACK

Oh man, this one was tough. I decided on absolute tool you meet in college who's the head of a frat and thinks he's God's gift to women. Lives in the same building as Roland, Lilith, Brick, Mordecai, Salvador, Axton, Maya, Zer0, Gaige, and Krieg. Constantly getting into arguments with... basically everyone listed above. Majors in business.

ANGEL

She's an art major!!! She's super intelligent and aces all of her classes but she absolutely loves art. Jack is her brother in this AU. Has a crush on the cute punk girl in her math class but could never tell her. Lives in a single.

ALISTAIR HAMMERLOCK

Double majors in conservation biology and zoology! Finds the creatures that he studies absolutely fascinating and always has a bright disposition on his face. Lives in a single that looks exactly like you think it does (his room on Sanctuary III). Strained relationship with his sister.

ATHENA

Acient History Major, specifically interested in Ancient Greece (wonder why?). Works at Marcus' restaurant. Hates it. Pay her more. Has her eyes on a girl that frequents Marcus' restaurant. Tried to live with Wilhelm, Jack, Nisha, Timothy, and Claptrap for a semester, she is now a commuter. Still friends with Timothy.

WILHELM

Jack's second-in-command. People look at him like he's a dumbass, big hunk of meat, but he's also in a robotics major. Aside from being buddies with Jack, he's... kind of chill? Man likes what he likes and he works out pretty often. Boxes in his free time. Lives with Nisha, Jack, Timothy, and (formerly) Claptrap.

NISHA

Criminal justice major, naturally. Jack's girlfriend and the baddest and scariest bitch on campus. Likes watching old western movies. Never, ever shows up to class but still passes. No one knows how. Lives with Jack, Timothy, Wilhelm, and (formerly) Claptrap

CLAPTRAP

Theater major! Always has a smile on his face, even though he's nooooot very well-liked. Tried to get in with the popular guys but eventually figured out he was being used. He confronted Jack and Jack kicked him out of the dorm 😔 Lives... well, he kind of just lives around Roland's dorm. Roland's too nice to say no.

TIMOTHY

I feel like Tim would be a Biology major. I don't know why but I can see him in that field. Looks SCARILY similar to Jack, and hates this. Unfortunately put into a room with Jack, Wilhelm, Nisha, and (formerly) Claptrap. Misses Athena greatly and wishes she still lived on campus. They're still good friends.

AURELIA HAMMERLOCK

Oh good lord, who let her on a college campus. Has an extravagant single room because she's *rich* and she's not sharing with someone else are you insane? Studies law because this bitch wants to be a judge someday. Absolutely hates to be seen with her brother Alistair. Rivalry with another rich law student makes this even more tense.

JANEY SPRINGS

Doesn't go to this college but she knows a few people around campus and hits up Marcus' restaurant for a bite to eat every so often. The food is just so good, right? No other reason. None at all. Friends with Scooter.

RHYS STRONGFOK

Rhys is a business and economics major. Is in Jack's frat. Is getting increasingly sick of Jack's shit. Buddy buddy with Vaughn, Fiona, and Zer0. Dating Sasha.

VAUGHN

Accounting major. Man has a mind like a steel trap, and also enjoys bodybuilding. Best friends with Rhys, good friends with Fiona and Sasha.

FIONA

I genuinely feel like Fiona would be a nursing or Healthcare major. I have no basis for this, it just feels right for her. Hates Jack and keeps telling Rhys to tell him to fuck off. Friends with Rhys and Vaughn, Sasha's older sister.

SASHA

Social work major! Loves helping people and wants to make a change in the world after she and Fiona grew up in less-than-ideal circumstances. Dating Rhys, also keeps telling Rhys to get away from Jack. Friends with Vaughn.

MOZE

Transfer student. Served in the military for a while before deciding she wanted to go to college. Undecided major but she's just trying to focus on the pretty women I mean her grades haha am I right? ALWAYS at Marcus'. Always. Lives with Zane, Amara, and FL4K.

FL4K

FL4K has Mr. Chew, Broodless and Meat-Thief as emotional support animals. I can see FL4K as a double major in zoology and veterinary medicine. Loves their pets. Super chill unless you speak badly about them or their pets. Will shank a bitch. Lives with Zane, Moze, and Amara.

AMARA

Healthcare studies major, with a focus on pathology. Also a bodybuilder. Also a boxer. Amara is that girl and she knows it. Always asking Moze to work out with her and she is completely oblivious to Moze being head over heels. Will fight someone being mean to a customer service worker. Lives with Zane, Moze, and FL4K.

ZANE

Pop pop went back to college! No but in this AU Zane is probably older than everyone but not that much older. His major was tough for me, but I honestly think he'd be a good candidate for a major in rehabilitation science with Axton. Also LOVES parties.

WAINWRIGHT JAKOBS

His Father wanted him to go into Business to take over the family legacy but he decided to go into law to "protect the little guy". Has daily arguments with this stuck-up, pretentious "harpy" that's in most of his classes. She's awful. Has a crush on this well-spoken man in zoological studies. At least that will take his mind off of the harpy.

TROY CALYPSO

Troy is a media and communications major. Has a fantastic time making videos and being admin of many social media pages but doesn't do very well in class because he dislikes most of his professors. Has a very close relationship with his sister, Tyreen.

TYREEN CALYPSO

Double major in Art History and Theater. Loves to be the center of attention and often stars in her brother's videos and projects. She loves it. A little full of herself. Close with her brother, Troy.

TYPHON DELEON

OKAY WAIT WAIT DON'T CLOSE THE POST HEAR ME OUT.

Cringe boomer history professor that can be easily distracted by him telling his stories of his many adventures (no one knows if they're true or not). Troy and Tyreen's Father. NOT a piss poor Dad in this AU, just embarrassing as all hell. Pretty decent guy but he's okay as a professor. (Please guys let me have my "Typhon is a good cringe embarrassing boomer dad to the Calypsos" AU)

OKAY this was a really long post and I probably forgot someone but I'm sure I'll hear about it LMAO. Also I don't know every single college major and its appropriate title, I just went off of vibes. Pls be nice 2 me

[kitsumidori]

Wise words from a lesbian on the internet said: "If you have a cast of six characters, you can line them up pretty well with the mane 6."

I've been working on this on and off for a while and while I'm still a little nervous about posting art on here (especially after a bot reposted the last one) I really don't want this to go to waste, especially since I really had fun with this.

Fun Fact: I was originally going to have the mane 6 as the BL2 vh's, but the only ones that would fit are Twilight as Maya, Applejack as Krieg and Pinkie as Gaige.

[legendaryskeletonpicklewolf]

Pre-Sequel: Unused Shut Up Voicelines

[possibly-in-wonderland]

my favorite part of borderlands as a series is that half of the vault hunters from the pre sequel turned out to be evil

like you have:

evil yee haw

evil almost robot (who likes steak)

evil ice witch

then you have:

hot gladiator

spongetron

guy who just wants to pay off his student loans

obviously timothy will always be my favorite vault hunter who isn't mordecai, i mean, look at him. he's having a constant identity crisis og reminds me of a wet cat in a taco suit

[namkrap]

Hello I return from the dead as my borderlands hyper fixation is back with an iron grip, so I once more step up upon my soap box.

Behold Timothy in the baby girl pose❤️❤️

[apocalyptic-dancehall]

Athena: This part of the application's asking for our views on morality. If anyone's willing, go ahead.

Nisha: So far, I think whipping people into submission and kicking nuns into pits infested with vicious wildlife is a pretty fun lifestyle.

Wilhelm: I just wanna kill stuff.

Claptrap: My sense of morality's been stretched to the point where anything goes although it secretly upsets me and I wake up knowing I have made some terrible, terrible decisions in my life!

Timothy: Whatever Jack considers 'morally sound' and 'something that heroes do,' I'm the furthest thing from it, the guy's absolutely nuts.

Aurelia: No such thing as far as I'm concerned. I'm more afraid that it'll latch onto me, and turn me into some entirely different creature!

Athena: Those are.. interesting to say the least. But yeah, killing stuff is fun.

GUESS WHO'S REWRITING HIS HANDSOME JACK FIC TO FIT A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG LYRIC????

WHAT?!

Little old me?

Noooooo... Never...

Ok love y'all it's me! I can't wait to release the first chapter, I'll post on here when I do it!! (this is for a fem reader, there will be one for a male reader but that may have to come after finishing this version first)

Here's the Cover babes (I'm still working on requests and other fics so it may take a while but I have a lot of spare time to go through and work on my fics and such)

[vaulthunterlands]

Big fan of the idea that the only reason the Pre-Sequel'a story is relayed is because Athena has a perfect memory. Like look at the other Vault Hunters in TPS. You think they're remembering shit? No way.

Whumptober #14

Borderlands - #14- “I’ll be right behind you”

*

“I know you’re cheating,” Timothy said, tossing down his cards. 

“Why, because I had another ace?” Wilhelm scoffed.

“Yes. That’s your sixth one. There are only four in the fucking deck,” Timothy said. “Let’s play dice again. At least you can’t cheat at that.”

“No, he has weighted dice,” Nisha said from where she was lounging in Jack’s chair. “Try again.”

“Oh, right, I forgot about that. Well, let’s play with the dice I have. They’re purple and blue, so I’ll know if you switch them,” Timothy said.

“No, no, I’m done playing with you,” Wilhelm said. “You’re no fun. I’m going to go hustle someone else.” 

“Hustle that whiny fresh meat. Rick or Ryan or something stupid,” Timothy said. 

“No, that’s not it. The scrawny one with the cybernetic arm? I think his name is Ross,” Nisha said.

“Well, whatever. He seems like the kind of idiot to bet his paycheck against Wilhelm,” Timothy said, going over and sitting on Jack’s desk. He pulled out Jack’s whiskey and poured some for himself and Nisha, pushing the glass to her. “Jeez, what’s taking Jack so long? I’m bored.”

“Could always come back to Lynchwood,” Nisha said.

“No way. You used me as your executioner last time,” Timothy said. “It took me forever to get the blood out of my clothes.” 

Nisha brought her drink to her lips to hide her grin. Jack had been irritated with Timothy’s hesitance towards violence and his general morality, so he’d consistently sent Timothy out on increasingly violent jobs with Nisha and Wilhelm to break the kid in. Enough kill-or-be-killed situations finally hardened the kid into shape. 

The doors to the office opened and all three looked up expectantly. Sure enough, Jack strode in, looking triumphant.

He went over to his desk, slinging his arm around Timothy’s shoulders. “Oh, kiddo, have I got a job for you and Wilhelm!”

“Love the sound of a big paycheck,” Timothy said. “Out with it, Jack.”

Jack grinned. “This specific target has been very tricky to track down, but I’ve finally managed it.”

“Enough with the suspense,” Wilhelm said. “Who is it?”

“Athena,” Jack said.

Timothy’s stomach twisted. “What? Why her?”

“Because she knows too much,” Jack said. “If the Crimson Raiders go after her…well, I can’t have that, can I? So we’ll silence her before they get the chance. Her girlfriend, too. No clue if she told her anything and we’re not taking chances.”

Timothy felt ill. “But…Janey had nothing to do with it. She saved us.”

“Timothy,” Jack said, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re wimping out again.” 

“No, I…” Jack had been so happy with him lately. He’d reward Timothy with plenty of money, easier jobs, and even kept him close in the exclusive inner-circle he had. Timothy couldn’t risk losing that now. Jack was too unstable to risk being on his bad side.

But…Athena and Janey had been his friends…Janey had saved his life…

Timothy fell back on the Jack facade he’d perfected, giving Jack an identical grin. “Nah, just gotta kill Springs before she blackmails me with those stupid posters she made.” 

“Well, lucky for you, I know right where they are right now. You can have them killed within the hour,” Jack said, pulling Timothy to his feet. He headed for the door, glancing over his shoulder. “Well? You coming?” 

Timothy thought of the way Athena had trained him and looked after him. He thought of Janey’s bright smile and endless kindness. 

And then, because Jack had taught him better, he wiped those memories from his mind and grabbed his gun.

“I’ll be right behind you,” he assured, following Jack.

[adventures-written]

;; Headcanon ;; Borderlands + Trigun

I feel like these things can kinda go hand in hand? None of my Borderlands muses have Trigun verses because I see these places being “similar” enough to happen in the same verse, so to speak. They both have space travel to some degree and something could be said about how the people of Borderlands came to be VS Noman’s Land.

But for all intensive purposes, they exist together for my muses. It’s how Jack’s been able to torment Nick for so long. He found out about his orphanage and he’s taking full advantage of it.

So Plants in the Borderlands verse? Yes, but none of them know of/possess Plants or their tech. It’s something to be discovered by them and tapped into.

Which is why Handsome Jack knowing of Plants/Independents is a HORRIBLE idea. But I love it and I want it.
