We need to talk about the worst thing about making AUs....

The fact that then when you inevitably think about crossovers you don't want the crossover with the canon you want it with your specific AU. Your brain worms, your circus, but THEN WHAT?

Oh, yeah, to understand this crossover you need to go read this entirely different fic/series? Girl help 😭 you can't do that

I looked at one of the very first Centiclipse drawings I did and I forgot abt so many lil details I liked so I decided to try out that Vibe again :3

[applecherry108]

Will there be a bad guy or any threats to the turtles in genera, like I don't know... Bishop or the krang

Oroku saki with an evil look on his face 👀👀

Love your work ❤️❤️❤️

N….not really? 😅😅😅 The closest my au gets is the Foot Clan and even then, once they realize their Beloved Son is a Hamato, they go about dismantling the dark armor real fast. And without the Evil™️ in their organization, they have no need to free the krang…

And since Draxum has a New Found Appreciation for humans since, you know, his son is genetically human, he sorta….abandons the whole mutagen thing, so none of the mutant villains are present…

Even the Battle Nexus is transformed into a more Ninja Warrior-esque competition…

Honestly, it’s all just interpersonal drama. It’s a lot of custody battles and divorcees getting back together lmao

The biggest villain of this au is Loneliness and Guilt.

Anyways, check out these designs.

Do you have more Erchius headcanons or ideas?

hehehe thank you for asking i do indeed!

Edit (Aug 23): sorry for taking so long! this. got longer than i thought it would!

ok so. some of my erchius headcanons can be applied to main lore pretty easily but the other half make more sense in the context of uh. my main "au" is probably the best term for it. I made some pretty big additions to starbound lore for my own stories (which i have not elaborated on much yet). l'll put anything about my main au under a readmore for organization. Edit (Aug 23): I will be putting the au stuff in a reblog. I need to get this post out of my drafts. (Aug 25): Stay tuned for the reblog! It's going to be a lot of oc backstory stuff but also wider worldbuliding.

Edit (Aug 24): Everything is under a readmore now! Post got long.

(For the sake of clarity, I will be referring to the 'Crystal Erchius Fuel' as 'Surface Erchius' and the 'Crystal Erchius' building block as simply 'Crystal Erchius.' Liquid Erchius stays the same.)

Erchius Miners distract the ghost to dig deeper

The most common method, illustrated above, is to gather a large amount of surface erchius and attach it to a ship that will maintain a low enough orbit for the ghost to follow. Surprisingly enough, this method can be considered SpOSHA (Space OSHA) compliant as long as all the necessary guidelines are followed. Most of the guidelines pertain to the amount of time a ship stays in orbit and making sure all miners are evacuated long before the next mandatory ship downtime.

Erchius crystal is a highly regulated, dangerous substance

Even before the first Erchius Incident (emergence of the Erchius Horror) many twisted and malformed bodies would appear in the depths of Erchius mines across the known galaxy. When the accounts of "flesh warping' began to pile up, the Terrene Protectorate banned all Terrene civilians from entering a certain depth into the mines, and then eventually banned entrance into mines completely. This resulted in many mines in protectorate/proc. allied space either shutting down completely, switching to remote controlled mining robots, or continuing operations as usual, illegally. The output from the remote mines decreased considerably after the increase in regulation, resulting in a shortage of ship FTL fuel and an increase in frequency of surface erchius mining by ship crews. Resulting in more erchius ghost-related deaths and injuries.

The illegal mines however, are run by two sorts of groups: Small Covert Groups from the local star system or Letheia Corp. The local groups usually depend heavily on Liquid Erchius in interstellar trade, especially if they don't have any other resources that would be profitable outside their solar system. Many local trade routes/services rely on bartering systems rather than pixels, making the acquisition of out of system resources all the more dependent on the availability of local resources. Now, with the protectorate scrambled and Earth destroyed, many isolated colonies that relied on the backing of the Terrene Protectorate in times of crisis must now rely on more transactional relationships for the acquisition of necessities produced out of their system and for security.

Letheia corp. mines operate on a whole other level. Where the goal of the local mines often is to support one or more colonies, the goal of the corporate mines is to monopolize a market, thereby securing the dependence of most FTL travel in the known galaxy. The majority of Letheia mines started out as local mines and then were bought out by Letheia, who dug deeper than the original owners. To the core. Surprisingly, once they were done, they would give the mines back to the original owners. However, most of what Letheia took from these mines was not Liquid or Surface Erchius, but their Core. Which leads to my next subject:

The Letheia Lunar Bases (A.K.A. The Erchius Mining Facilities) are artificially created Erchius moons

By transplanting the core of an Erchius Moon into a rogue planet, Letheia Corp. created artificial erchius mines substantially larger and efficient than any known erchius moon. However, the chance of an erchius core successfully establishing itself in a new planet are low. If Letheia has at least 12 of these Lunar Bases, who knows how many cores they burned through to get that far. When a natural erchius moon loses its core, the ghost disappears. Over time, the pockets of Liquid Erchius will deplete, no longer resupplied by the core. By taking the core of the local mines, Letheia destroys a renewable resource that most colonies depend on to engage in local and interstellar trade.

So why hasn't anybody done something about this? Well, Letheia is pretty good at covering up after themselves. (They're not the largest mega corp in the known galaxy for nothing.) Before the Ruin destroyed Earth, the local miners that had their Erchius Core taken by Letheia might have complained to the Protectorate, but what can they say? They sold their mine to Letheia and then Letheia gave it back for a fraction of the cost. But it doesn't stop there. By the time the local miners realize the Liquid Erchius is not replenishing, it's too late to search for other resources. They're desperate for solutions. And in comes Letheia corp. with an offer the miners won't refuse: Come work on the new Lunar Bases. In exchange, Letheia will set up stations in their solar system and add them to the Letheia trade routes. The miners are assured that the Lunar Bases may be farther away, but the working conditions are much safer. On the surface, this is a miracle deal, but anyone whose played the game knows: It's a deal too good to be true.

People who make Joey well-meaning, sympathetic, a lighter shade of morally grey than canon I am also sending u lots of love <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3!!

And people who generally steer wildly from the direction Bendy takes with its characters and has fun with it I hope to see more from all of ur aus and rewrites!!

um. uh. hi every body. something evil and malevolent happened in my brain this month.

this is. um. a Jet Set Radio/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Death joke AU, spawned out of a in-joke that started in a pokepasta discord. my apologies to both the pokepasta and jsr fandoms

the entire basis is the idea that Corn in Future retconned og JSR Beat as leader/founder of the GGs (is beat being leader in the og even CANON?) so Corn and Beat are the Myras. no it's not a joke funny enough to justify how many hours i sunk into drawing these. no attempt was made to change the setting, assign most of the other cast, or otherwise make this au hold up to ANY amount of scrutiny. if i tried to make this actually work somehow then i'd REALLY end up too far gone. also i keep calling myrtle!beat "Meat".

MEANWHILE, IN A BETTER UNIVERSE:,

[hamofjustice]

it's nice that we're getting anything i guess, but, i'm gonna be what may come off as a little petty and whiny here; it'd be cool if either iteration of the gen 9 anime so far was actually about gen 9's characters instead of using them as cameos to promote original stories we have no investment in yet

it's like, i dunno, like the bait and switch with sonic appearing in wreck it ralph ads, except if wreck it ralph existing meant there would never be a sonic movie, and if you were invested in those characters and recognized they weren't generic platformer mascots, sucks for you, nobody cares

maybe they're just giving the DLC space to do its thing with them first (if they do anything at all...) but idk, i was cautiously optimistic about nemona in horizons, only for her to be a character of the day that the episode wasn't about, and pretty excited by "gen 9 prequel anime" only to find out it's going to be like, four short stories about OCs who have quick brushes with them. these are like the lacroix hint of what an anime about the game could've been like and you're left to imagine the rest yourself

i shouldn't be that surprised if the gen 8 anime reduced hero of galar hop to a character of the day with a level 5 wooloo in order to let the galaxy revolve around ash battling his brother because epic charizards, but man. what if it wasn't like that that now that ash is gone.

we haven't seen penny and team star at all because they're the hardest to talk about without bringing up the trauma of school bullying and the fear of being yourself at school when you're way too young to be dealing with all that drama responsibly. she's still learning to love and forgive herself and feel wanted.

arven's story is about, like, being a latchkey kid to a self-absorbed parent, being unsure how to feel about repairing the relationship or how seriously to take them saying they love him, and struggling to make friends due to misdirected resentment toward people he's jealous of for having apparently normal families and the stubborn self-reliance he was forced into. he's still trying to process things, find himself, and let people in.

nemona is supposed to have been a directionless lonely and depressed kid who hated being called gifted when everything was hard for her, until she met the player character and gained a peer who understood and appreciated she was a little different and she didn't have to mask her true self to have friends anymore. she's happy for now, but may still be under a little too much pressure to be perfect at the expense of her own personality, and probably won't deal well with being abandoned.

as much as they resonate with adults and are a little darker than usual pokemon fare, they're also smaller scale and realer. they are all stories that are explicitly about and meant to be relatable to kids going to school! y'know, your audience! you don't need to paint over them with 3-4 new characters and new stories every time like there was nothing there, or something shameful you need to sanitize and cover up! you can just use the game the way it is!

this got a little more heated than i intended, i just feel a little ridiculous waiting anxiously for loose scraps of a sign that this story isn't over and in the trash already and nemona's life-changing attachment to the player character isn't going to go totally ignored, as we are bombarded with what is supposed to be followup material that almost all seems eager to talk about literally anything else like they think the main story was a mistake they need to run away from

now, i'm not one to complain about original stories being told, but this was already a story that had room to grow. imagine a world where the gen 9 anime was actually about nemona, arven, penny, and the friend who brought them together. or what their lives were like before that friend came along. every episode. that would get me to watch the anime again and whatever movie came out for it. ask yourself why we don't have that, or even the traditional, like, 1-2 characters tagging along with the MCs per region thing that would leave us knowing them better than we know some irl friends

how was starting over with 100% original characters and new lore that might conflict hard with the upcoming DLC the safer bet? why is a 44 minute miniseries specifically for fans of the game making up OCs for them to get invested in and scrambling to tell their stories as quickly as possible before throwing them in the trash instead of being about the damn game?

sigh. i shouldn't get invested in a series that's about selling monster plushies just because it had one story that stuck with me

[sortanonymous]

I just imagined a little scenario where the Meta-Knights in my Meta Knightmare AU are playing through The Subspace Emissary in Smash Bros. Brawl in 2008 MSK, or at least the adults watching then-teenaged Susie and Sirica play it. (Yes, they would have been fighting to see who would play as Meta Knight even before they found out how broken he was.) Specifically, I can imagine them all watching the cutscene where the Halberd reaches that big Subspace portal and they're all excited to see her fly, only for Ganondorf's giant ship to just absolutely annihilate it even more than it ever was going into the Secret Sea. Then all of them would probably just be staring awkwardly at each other and just forget that ever happened. (Keep in mind that at this point in time, they were just starting to refurbish the Halberd.)
