#boba au

[loremaster]

all right, let's talk about some rejected* ideas from boba au's chapter 4. (big spoilers ofc)

yakou, as we know, is a very sad man. secretly plotting to unalive himself for revenge.

but in this au, pucci catches him, right?

she can't wrap her head around his selfish motivations. sure, his wife was important to him when she was alive, but now she's not, so why is she still important? pucci doesn't think the revenge would be worth the suicide. but yakou is a firm believer in the Core Tenets Of Marriage (and considers seppuku to be one of them)

*this is for not what will end up happening in the actual boba au ch4. but from here on out... i will probably still use some of the ideas below, so if you want to be totally surprised when i post the whole thing this summer, turn back now.

...but if you want a little treat, then keep reading ;)

after the gang reunites, yuma interrogates yakou, who confesses everything, even the extent of his murderous rage.

mystery labyrinth happens in which yuma uses whatever leftover evidence he can to prove dl6 dr huesca was responsible for yakou's wife's death. yuma reaps huesca's soul... and when he leaves the labyrinth, yakou is still alive!

AND AFTER ALL THAT HARD WORK THEY PUT INTO SAVING HIM HE DIES ANYWAY

(he tries it one more time and gets that finger bitten clean off.)

if anyone out there knows what the scorpion reference is from, you have earned my undying love. (if you don't...... well, then stay tuned for the neon downpour zine to find out B))

anyway. vivia is understandably struggling with this. he appoints himself as the guard to the kitchen/bathroom door, behind which zombie yakou is... uh, well, there.

melami gets straight to the point.

"did you love him?"

i thought vivia's feelings could have grown into something more, but never got the chance before it was ripped away.

this was pre-dlc. i was a fool.

he was madly in love the whole time.

Friendly east bay anon here, please consider this your official permission to go Completely Insane (if wanted, also I am saying this for selfish reasons bc I want the Most amount of your writing bc it is delightful), also 👀👀 boba thoughts - 🦃(I read your tags and have therefore chosen an emoji to represent myself; devastated to report that there is no hyena emoji and I am therefore relegated to the less metal option of the Turkey Cryptid)

oh no there is no hyena emoji, HUGE L for us....but we will always have the east bay turkeys. turkey cryptid east bay anon!! thank you for choosing an emoji 🙏

THANK YOU for your kind words, i appreciate it!! boba fic really is me teeheeing into the night, so you are very kind, and i will take this permission to write the 15k devon/cale boba fic no one wanted but will nevertheless receive in about 20-90 days...

also thank you for asking about boba thoughts, i needed to exorcise them, but they are just the Some Guys of all time. boba fic (arizona's version) under the cut:

BASICALLY it's just that loathe though i am to break anyone up ever, i had to admit to myself that if i wanted to write devon toews tenderly trying boba for the first time at cale's behest and experiencing shrimp emotions (for a hockey player, normal emotions for a californians), i have to break john leonard and cale up. and then i was thinking, well, that's not so bad for leno, because john leonard irl just went to arizona and there are many men i love in arizona now and i can do something with that EASILY

so BASICALLY:

john leonard goes to arizona to do americorps/teach for america in an elementary school class. he's a little whipped up about the break up with cale which, while as kind as it could be (cale went to do an environmental policy internship in with the denver legislature, leno really wanted to do teach for america in the southwest, it just wasn't gonna work out), was still kinda heartbreaking bc like. that was his boyfriend of three years! he really loved him! he knew that they might not really be able to make it work long-term, but he loved the guy! aw man :(

at his americorps school, his master teacher (for kindergarten bc that's funniest) is TRAVIS DERMOTT, a goofy canadian guy that all the kids love so much. leno is like....why am i in arizona still meeting canadians, why the fuck are there so many canadians wherever i go!! but travis is rly sweet and they become good friends quite quickly

anyway it turns out that travis is dating TROY STECHER, STALWART DEFENSEMAN FOR THE ARIZONA COYOTES, and leno is doubly like, why do i keep meeting nhlers. but troy is really nice and goofy in love with travis and it's incredibly sweet. travis takes leno to a bunch of games. leno enjoys going to hockey games with travis, bc travis is a former hockey player like leno and really insightful and funny, and even if they are sitting in the wag section, leno has experience with wags due to his soulbond with mario. so it's a lot of fun overall

one day in kindergarten when travis and leno are in the middle of a lecture about why NOT to eat paint, a beautiful black man with a broken clavicle shows up at the door and a smile that could melt ice cream. "what up montana," says travis, unfazed. "oh my god," says leno. it's MONTANA ONYEBUCHI, FRINGE DEFENSEMAN FOR THE ARIZONA COYOTES and he is dropping off boba for the two of them for lunch, but he messed up the timing. he got injured and is not yet traveling with the team, and troy (huge dope in love), told him to drop off boba for his beloved + his beloved's bestie and he would pay him $100.

bad timing, due to the paint eating situation, but also maybe good, montana is a huge distraction, which means leno can whisk away all the paint while the kindergarteners bombard montana with questions such as "what happened to your arm" and "are you really a hockey player" and "why are you so tall" and "is it illegal to eat paint"

anyway obviously he is kind and funny and gentle with the kids and he hangs out for 15 minutes and answers questions about hockey until it's lunch time. leno and travis drink their boba in peace and quiet and montana gazes at leno. leno is like, no fuckin way a guy that hot is interested in me

(montana is interested in him)(travis finds this incredibly funny)(kindergarten teacher to wag pipeline)(love is so beautiful)

i didn't figure out the intricacies of how they get together but TRUST it's gross how much montana likes leno and leno's broken little heart heals under montana bringing him boba like, every day, and sending him boba gift cards when he's on the road, and one day there is a family skate around the holidays and he invites leno to the family skate and leno is like, totally going to say no bc that feels like a big step forward, and then montana tells him he's going to be the elf on the shelf for the kids and leno's like aw fuck he's perfect and goes to the skate

and then they fall in love and it's perfect.....idk how it ends but they're probably in love forever or until my boba au gets trashed once again by these damn ass nhl gms who have NO respect for me 😤😤

critical to boba au (arizona's version): 1. travis knits baby booties for the other wags in kachina colors; 2. liam o'brien (beloved) is just floating around in the background, being the prettiest man in the world, and it is a running joke that he is so pretty that he is unattainable, and then leno finds he doesn't like boba that much and he's like, ok, point AGAINST how beautiful you are and is the only one who develops immunity to liam's smile. love u liam

Touchy subject

"The 501st was one of the best legions during the war. I've lost a lot of good men over the years - some of them would have given even you Mandos a run for your credits. And my general... My general was a good man too, but that's enough of that, I thought you were too old for bedtime stories by now."

Din just tried to figure out what the colour of the clones' armor paint meant, and why he's never heard Rex mention his CO during all the wartime stories and lectures; whereas he's already got to meet Wolffe and his general and even heard Cody mention his every once in a blue moon. (Special thanks to @witchydom for helping with the "dialogue" :3)

The rest of my Star Wars meets Hades AU project is here

I'll take a bit of your time to give a bit of an explanation why I decided to put Rex in Skelly's spot:

During a playthrough when I was looking for screenshots to use as backgrounds the first thing that greeted me was Zagreus calling Skelly "Captain" upon entering the armoury, or whatever that chamber is called. And that really decided it, let's be honest. Rex is Captain, and that is the Captain's spot. End of story.

Reading "still got it" by qigiined even before I got into watching TCW was such a personality defining experience (seriously, this fic lives forever rent free in my brain), that I really had no other option but to put the few clones that I'm willing to work into this AU somewhere around home base (the covert) - so you can guess where Cody and Wolffe are situated. Or will be, hopefully soon enough. Rex needs to be able to hang out with Cody, that's just how it is. (Rebels and TBB canon who?)

Rex deserves to teach some uppity Mando bounty hunters and other warriors who think too much of themselves a few lessons in humility and some crafty tricks. I think it would be very good for him.

As a throwaway note since we are already under the read more section, I've been thinking about sigils and keepsakes (trinkets) and cthonic companions (I know that over a year ago I inaccurately but very self indulgently designed one for Din, Boba and Cobb, that is not the point now) and while Cody can have one shaped like Boga, and Wolffe can obviously get a stuffed loth wolf (and Bo-Katan a very squishy owl)... I have no idea what shaped companion Rex could have. If anyone has any suggestions and would love to share it with me, I'd be very grateful!

AND I GOT SMOKE, I TAKE IT SLOW, I’M NOT NICE, YOU KNOW WHERE I STAY

for @lionsaint

“It must be fate,” Boba says, inclining his head in mockery, “to find you on my doorstep again, my Lord.”

“Your previous work has impressed me,” the vocoder translates over the wheezing, “see that you don’t lose my goodwill.”

“On my doorstep like a wet tooka in need of cold meds,” he continues, inspecting a loose thread on his glove.

“You insolent, little—“

Boba blinks up at the talking dish steamer. “You gonna kill me, my Lord?” He rests his head on one hand, fingertips glancing off the white hair on his temple. “Again?”

“I imagined I had made my point.”

“Nah.”

Vader’s heavy steps echo around him and the Curse stirs under Boba’s skin. Not yet.

“Your commission is to find the traitor Keno—“

“Once more,” Boba interrupts and leans forward, “nah.” He still owes Cody one hell of a favor. Kenobi is untouchable even if Boba knew where the Jedi was. He settles back, stretches his lower back out of kinks, and lets his legs fall open. With the towering sack of bolts and circuits it’s always the better odds to appear unconcerned and buyable. Speaking of. “Besides, you can’t afford me.”

Growing up around covered faces makes him an expert on body language. So he doesn’t miss the slightest tip of the black helmet, visor pointing towards Boba’s crotch. Vader takes another menacing step forward. “One day you will cease being useful to me. Your Curse will not be enough to protect you from me, Fett.”

Bones rise out of his body, getting to skeleton feet still connected to Boba’s own. Glowing teeth snap at Vader in a grin. The threat has been accepted, rules may not apply.

“My rates for bringing in a lowlife spice dealer might be still in the Empire’s price range, my Lord,” Boba suggests, absolutely not smirking at the vocoder’s best attempt to growl.

“You—“

“Hey,” Boba interrupts gently. Feeling pity for tall, dark, and wheezing will ruin his morning plans. But the Empire’s guild pays his bills and losing Vader’s esteem will not benefit anyone. Not Boba. Not the kriffing Rebellion. “You want to chop off my arm or something?”

“It would make me feel better,” Vader allows after a second.

Boba hops up from the rubble mistaken as a chair. “Admitting to feelings, my Lord? You got a new therapist?” He pats a black shoulder, indulging in a moment of self-pity that he has to reach up so high. “Come on, we both have places to be.”

“Chop chop?” Vader suggests drily.

william and thom �� what’s in there

other anon: show me the elusive wille and thom please

we're going splelunking in poorly titled fic! it is a boba fic which i rage-began when everyone in all my other planned boba fics got traded to the east coast (timo/nietsy boba secret shoppers you will ALWAYS be my white whale.) thom works in a boba shop and he sucks at it. william (somehow a stanford student) is in love with thom but won't admit it. tristen (somehow also a stanford student) is there. i got stuck because i got derailed creating a b-plot of nick cicek (more believably a stanford student) in the background suffering a comedy of errors love triangle in which former juniors bestie montana onyebuchi returns to his life (works in the boba shop), but he also had a harrowing grindr hook up with heartbroken mario ferraro (too emotionally fragile to be on grindr, introduced him to the boba shop). everyone thought mario was done and dusted after that excruciatingly embarrassing (for him) hook up but NO he wants a SECOND CHANCE. what does nick do!! you can see why i got derailed - the nick cicek agenda never takes a day off. but i'm still plodding away with it, trying to redirect my energy. i think nick's background romantic drama will kind of highlight how normcore weirdo william and thom's very sweet and youthful romance is. william just wants boba and thom. thom just wants william and to not work at a boba shop. young love 🥲

excerpt below the cut:

William had a crush on a boba shop employee.

“Shut,” he said, pushing Tristen away from him by slapping his forehead. “No. I don’t.”

“Yes, you do,” said Tristen. He shoved his head against William’s hand. “You love him, you want to kiss him, you want to hold his hand—”

William shoved him off the sidewalk and into the street.

“Guys,” said Nick wearily.

Actually, this was all Nick’s fault. Nick hooked up with some video game engineer he met on Grindr over fall break but it had been a really bad hook up that Nick wouldn’t talk about, except that the guy had been rebounding from dating a hockey player and that they had gone to get boba after having sex. Tristen and William had been trying to get details out of Nick for a month about it, but he just looked like a war veteran when Tristen asked him if they touched dicks and shut down like he was suffering PTSD. The only good thing he’d gotten out of it, he said, was Boba Boys in Palo Alto.

“You want to hug him,” said Tristen, hopping back up on the sidewalk, “and you want to sing him romance songs—”

William threw him into the street again. Nick walked faster to get away from them but still held open the door when they got to the shop.

Thom was at the boba shop, because he worked there. William didn’t know his work schedule but Thom was there all the time, like he didn’t have much else going on in life, so William wasn’t being creepy if he came a lot. And he didn’t even come in a lot, Tristen, because he was an international student at an elite private university and did stuff. He came in a normal amount.

It's his day to join the Hades AU! Happy Cody Day!!

""This weapon is your life" is what my general often said to lecture his old padawan during the war, and yet he constantly lost his. The lightsaber and his cloak... The things might be cursed. Not as much as yours, though." "Please keep that thing far away from my kid."

Rex from down the hall: "Stop trolling the shiny as a way to cope, Cody!"

Cody: "I have nothing to cope with, this is just for fun. The Darksaber is definitely cursed and you know it."

Rex: "Oh yeah, it definitely is. Sorry kid."

Din is still trying to figure out how he counts as a "shiny" here

Backgrounds, as per usual, are screenshots from my latest attempts at a run in the Hades game. All I can do is add more pocket characters, I'm not gonna redraw the whole set TT^TT (but look, Din is holding a handful of green and brown pixels now!)

[halloweenrager]

Imma need Fallout to hurry tf up so I can somehow edit these 3 in a post apocalyptic AU together 😭
