Heya!! Feel free to not answer or not consent to it, but I was wondering if I could use your Heathers!Dust AU for a big ol' story I'm working on? (The Dustverse)
And if yes, may I know about your Heathers!Dust AU? ( In the form of links or just random little tidbits of info )
. . . and also Pestilence!Dust if that's all goods
Obviously feel free to say no! Hope you have a wonderful week regardless :]
of course you can use them! i'd be flattered!
My heathers au is based on the musical - Heathers, where the mtt play the heathers, and Cross is Veronica; Dust plays Heather Chandler's role here.
basically, theyre just the mucical cast but they the utmv guys
In my head, its also an actor au, but you can totally ignore that for plot purposes ;)
Heather Chandler actually dies about halfway through the musical, murdered accidentally by Veronica and JD - or Cross and Nightmare here - so if you wanted Dust to be a ghost or alive, totally up to you!
Chandler's bossy, the leader of the Heathers, manipulative and unappolagetic - mean for the sake of being mean, really
His scarf takes the place of heathers scrunchie here, and when he died, Killer (H.Duke) takes it and wears it in to ‘take control’ if you will. Dust does Not Like That (™) 
This makes Horror (H.Mcnamara) really sad 
i have a *cough* Slime tutorial here if you were interested hehe
Im gonna go through and tag all my heathers au now with 'Rues Heathers AU' so you should be able to find stuff ive done in the past from them, and stuff i will continue to make ;)
He or she pronouns are fine for Dust here, cus i couldnt really decide if i wanted to genderbend everyone to match the genders of the characters or not, so up to you really, both, one or the other, whatever lol
Pestilence is a bit more complicated; from my Four Horsemen Au - where Nightmare, Dust, Killer and Horror take the roles of the four horsemen, who are said to appear at the end of the humanity, and bring about the apocalypse and all that, from christian texts
Pestilance actually has a redesign since i made him, because hes one of my older things, so:
Tumblr media
The first horseman, with a bow and crown, rides a white horse - Dust - Pestilence/Conquest
His crown is made of thorns and branches, jesus style, with melting candles dripping wax slowly; its said when the candles fully melt and the flames burn out, humanity is no more.
The actual 'crown' part of his crown are pitch black metal, and are shaped like arrows
The white sheet covers his face, the way you do to dead people - you do not want to end up seeing his face, because you wont see anything after it if you do ;)
he is constantly in a state of dusting - never fully committing to it,
His hands and body are covered and stained in monster dust and human blood, stains that can never be washed out
he is in a perpetual state of dusting, never really committing either way, just..constantly decaying
He constantly has this green illness liquid dripping from his eyes and mouth - its poison.
His arrows are all poison tipped as well
His bow and fletch are summonable, and attach to his belt easily - he can summon and de-summon them at will.
His horse - which i didnt draw because fuck that - is activly rotting and decaying, bones and rotting flesh making up its body. its a white horse, obviously, with voidless black eyes
both he and the horse trail dust everywhere, disease laying in the powder
the illness that he causes can be physical sickness, and it can be mental sickness, basically anything you count as ' being unwell' he can cause
hes a bit kooky really, he screams and cries and laughs a lot more than he actually talks but he is capable of it, hes just quiet and ominous really, and theres this lingering presence of illness and threat around him. like his space, which is ironic, because illness festers in crowded spaces, its where he thrives.
"i will cough on you if you do not leave me alone."
