Creations AU FNAF 4, But I obnoxiously over explain it 2

Pages 30-59

The sad story of Cody and his miserable life.

I know for a fact some of these pages were lined don't remember if they colored any by @akdrawsandwrites thanks AK. ^w^

More NPC dialogue.

In FNAF 4 game: There's an oddity with the NPC with a green shirt and brown hair, he has a STRIKING appearance to one of the "bullies" older brother's friends. But the one in the green shirt in the game has blonde hair. Idk if they're meant to be the same character and the sprite was just bonked up or what. FNAF color pallets being consistent is NOT something this series is known for lmfao.

I made these two characters brothers and modified his dialogue to suit that he knows Cody by "Josh's brother". Either way this character should know this kid's name lmfao.

The party coming up is apparently Cody's. The last NPC is debated to be the character "Susie" from the games....I color picked and this girl looks black to me. (Susie is white with styled blonde hair) Like they both have bows and wear pink so MAYBE it was meant to be her but idk. This was the design I went with. Retconning design and inconsistent colors in FNAF again: Is not new.

Susie is used as a character in another place in Creations anyway and it wouldn't line up timeline wise. (This makes an animatic with her as the Chica we meet in Mike's story outdated and incorrect but there's LOTS of ideas in the animatics that were abandoned going over all of them would take hours lmfao.)

Exposure therapy, I say as a joke.

You might have noticed an itty bitty detail of Josh getting set off every time Cody starts shouting. Bro does not handle that shit well.

Yeet the child again, damn it Josh you gotta kick that habit.

Josh's main response to dealing with Cody: Lock him somewhere where he doesn't have to deal wit him.

Oh dear. This looks familiar.

Creations readers and FNAF players alike know where this shit is going.

HI MIKE! ❤️ Yes that's Mike without his dyed hair lol.

Reasonably avoiding confrontation but uh, to the determent of others oof.

Dude proceeds to never stop throwing himself in danger later so I guess he decided to slam to the other side of the two extremes lmao.

HAH.

Well that explains Cody's creepy ass stalker crush on Mike.

He didn't really SPECIFY he recognized Mike verbally when talking to him in the main comic but here we get conformation he for sure did.

Again Cody/Golden Freddy doesn't consider himself a 1 to 1 with the original Cody. Rather just a robot with the kid's memories/soul.

They don't feel like his memories.

Lol. Cody and his Para-social relationship with Mike Schmidt.

We can tell this genuinely amuses him as his eyes aren't red.

Hah he says something to the same affect in thee FNAF 1 Arc...with a lot more body horror involved.

"It was just a prank bro"

Daddy's gonna make it all better.

Cody stop that. We've talked about how the faces you make are unsightly.

Also Puppet. She's here.

People didn't really GET Cody's reality bending abilities: So he explains it pretty plainly here.

He's powerful as hell. X'D

Basically the most OP character in Creations much like the cannon Golden Freddy.

So I'll give ya some writing advice: If you're gonna make an OP character, just make them lazy as fuck.

Easiest way to nerf them: Make them just not care about fighting. X'D

Cody's got a mixture of laziness, apathy and fear of daddy to keep him from being helpful much in the plot.

Because if he wasn't he'd clap Afton in 2 seconds and that'd be no fun. So he's a coward lmao.

He was gonna snap that bitches neck while he slept. And not a single one of us would have blamed him. UwU

Casually hides in his brother's closet XDDD

Also I pointed it out before but Josh's room is Michael's room in main story.

Cody's cowardess is on full display: He bent to NOT killing Josh when he realized how badly Josh was coping with his brother's death.

Just like his daddy!~

Jokes aside this is my fave page in FNAF 4. It was lined by AK. I drew the sketch

I like, never draw the nightmares but the ended up so good here. Props to Ak for translating the sketches real well.

This is another instance of what I mean when I say there's no real good "Starting" place for the Creations AU.

This is smth that happens in Sister Location, but I feel Josh's character is more interesting with this context.

Buuuut this scene makes no sense. Aaaaand FNAF 4 shows more chronological events.

Agh.

Honestly whenever I get around to doing "Spring Bonnie's friends" I'd argue that is the best place to start chronologically but we'll see.

Anyway Cody saving his dumbass brother is so funny to me.

It's also really sad to think that he saved Josh because he knew how much Josh HATED the idea of dying in a springlock suit. Cody shows empathy quite often, especially towards Mike but this extends to helping Josh too.

His little "Now who's the cry baby?" is just the icing on the cake. XD

So Josh IS dead...?

Kind of?

His "remnant" is just kinda all over the place.

Will pick up in part 3 since PAGE LIMITS.

[acaciapines]

I just read all your deltarune fics and. I have to know. do you have playlists for each of the characters. and if you do. could you please share them. i’m so so curious about songs you attribute to each of the characters bc i love your interpretation of them so so much

oh!!! im glad you enjoyed them!!

i do have several playlists but not in any form i could share so. uh. instead i'll just make a list of all my most favorite songs i associate with these kids 'cause if i did every song we would be here for A Long While.

do feel free to send in another ask if you want me to explain one in more depth!!! im one of those people who cannot escape associating songs w/ characters/stories so i have a LOT more i could say if that is wanted lol.

Little Fang - Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks: literally The Most Kris Song Of All Time, like do I even have to explain it. its just Them.

Real Love Song - Nothing But Thieves: this is a newer one on my kris playlist but i think it really fits their relationship with dess--taking the 'love' part in a familial/platonic way, 'can i sing this to you / got a thing about you / and it won't go away' i think this song really captures the sort of...hold dess's opinion always has over kris's sense of self, and the way they feel about her isn't exactly returned equally. in a sense this fits more with my dess-raises-kris au but it does work for kris in my other works too.

San Cristobol - Mal Blum: this is the dess song of all time to the point where it's my voiceclaim for her and is half the reason the band au exists. one big part of my dess is that she leaves voluntarily, even if she might get stuck in a dark world later on--she leaves ON PURPOSE, because she wants to. and this song is like, leaving people behind, 'sometimes i think i left you just to see if i'd be missed,' and sort of wanting to reach out but also maybe not. in a world where dess sings this she is singing it to asriel.

My Tiger, My Heart - The Boy Least Likely To: another dess song of all time, if the last one is dess singing to asriel, this one is her to kris&noelle. this song has been on my dess playlist for so long i've scripted out an animatic to it. specifically i see this as being a song for the space after she sees the bunker but before she leaves--like 'my tiger my heart / we're growing apart' in regards to how she sees kris, and then 'and i think it would be / happier / being free' LIKE. GOD. ITS SO GOOD.

Wash - Floor Cry: noelle about dess...specifically noelle as i write her in the holiday-dreemurr kids series, her pov fic in there was named after this song, but its just about. how you idolize your older sister and then she leaves and comes back and maybe isnt as good as you thought she was and you realize you're going to pick kris over her and so its about 'i never want to / become just like you / it's pretty simple / wish i could tell you why' because noelle struggles with this because she should be happy her sister is back, right? and yet...

Sidelined - The Garages: this is THE RALSEI SONG OF ALL TIME.....like. oh my GOD just listen to it. it's ralsei all the way down, how she struggles with figuring out who she is, with being a darkner, with the prophecy and the weight it puts on her, and how she's supposed to be left behind and forgotten but she doesn't want that and how scary it is to try and be a person when the world never wanted you to be one.

Pluto - Sleeping at Last: ANOTHER RALSEI SONG....this one specifically is in regards to the dess raises kris au lol since i explore ralsei/susie/noelle there but it works for ralsei in all universes. like just listen to it. it's so ralseicore. its similar in theme to sidelined so im not going to repeat myself but just 'i've been worried all my life / a nervous wreak most of the time' to the chorus of 'til one day i had enough / of the exercise of trust / i leaned in and let it hurt / let my body feel the dirt.' LIKE

and these are most of my big ones! i have more around somewhere but most of these i dont even have in a playlist i just sort of remember whenever the song comes on njdfgdfg. sorry theres not so much asriel or susie here i just dont have as good songs for them.

once again if you (general) want me to dive more into one of the songs lemme know!!! i will always talk about these kids!!!

[ladyseidr]

some light-hearted and/or silly headcanons for the fn.af muses!! ( crossed out because some kept getting sad or dark sorry LMAO )

is a big fan of snow. his family used to travel to the mountains regularly ( i swear this headcanon isn't getting any sadder than that. ) obv it's a lot less likely to snow in hurricane, but y'know. if it ever did? oh boy. it's definitely a very bad idea to let him out into it ( melting water getting into his circuitry and all that ), but he will ask. more than once. insistently. catch him standing in front of the windows just staring outside

absolutely does have a british accent despite it making so little sense ( born in utah to a very english father, a french american mother with an indecipherable accent, and surrounded by americans. it's funny to me. ) he tried to lose the accent post-william going missing. it lasted a singular attempt in public. he just can't fake accents. he will reply to any questions about where in england he's from with a deadpan "utah" however, and yes he does find that kinda funny

genuinely actually like so good with kids. not just the big performing and playing, but she's very good with the emotional side of things. she's hung out with kids who were left alone or had been bullied more than once. she generally gets very attached to individuals who spend time with her and remembers things like names and birthdays completely organically ( as in, susie remembers them herself ) on the flip side, she doesn't take it well when an older child stops coming to the pizzeria or a family moves away. in many ways, she sees herself like those children she tries to help—rejected and alone, save for the band

completely oblivious to the animatronics becoming haunted until it's near impossible to ignore. definitely thinks their coding is just fucked up at first. he only really decides even that when he's working late one night, looks up, and sees bonnie just standing in the half-open door. staring. he doesn't recognize the actual hauntings for years. at first because he simply doesn't believe in ghosts, and, later, because he's in denial. either way, the animatronics speaking to him in strangely human ways will always send shivers up his spine

aunt who lets her niece and nephews get away with literally anything. william is like "please don't let them have too many sweets while i'm gone" and she's like "yeah no of course" and then the door shuts and she turns to them and is like "so let's go out for ice cream" in all seriousness, jayne dotes because she knows shit's been hard ( the divorce, and then later the loss of CC and elizabeth ). she can and will try to dote on mike even when he's a teen/adult because she really does sympathize. ( mini bonus william hc: he absolutely knows this goes on, but jayne just generally gets a free pass from him on most things LMAO )

he really does just have the time of his life when he first becomes sentient. like, he's not really fully aware during The Horrors, and he genuinely loves performing. unironically views william as his perfect, amazing creator until he does realize. spring is never dangerous in the way the others are—he's not haunted, not really. still, he wanders at night, even when he's long, loooong out of use. he talks with far too much self-awareness to night guards and other staff. he begins to glitch out generally, but he's usually only dangerous toward one person: william.

[digitalmidnight]

So I've been swatting away plot bunnies for awhile now and so here's a list of story ideas I won't write for Kirby (but they won't get out of my head unless I release them somewhere)

Someone's targeting Meta Knight by targeting people he hangs out with. They are using a "poison" which causes the victim to only have nightmares. The affects can be avoided if they take something else and don't dream, however this is still very distressing for people in dreamland. They destroy the villain and get an antidote and everything is fine in the end

Metadede: Meta Knight thinks King Dedede doesn't have romantic feeling for him because the King usually just says what's on his mind and therefore would have confessed if he did. King Dedede reads too many books about Knights courting Royals and so thinks Meta should confess (also sword fight for his honor in a competition or something). They over come miscommunication... eventually...with help from subordinates and Kirby who all think they are too stubborn for their own good.

Magolor and Susie both lying to one another and having ulterior motives while riding the lor to get some mcguffin. Both surprisingly become very good friends with one another then lie and say they had no other motive all along. Then they do something unhinged.

Dark Meta Knight unintentionally helping Taranza with closure. Possibly by being injured and trapped in the clouds with Taranza.

[More of a snippet than prompt] Mace Knight asking someone to guess their name and the person guesses "Flail Knight"

[Another snippet without plot] Shadow Dee (shadow Bandana Dee) is the Waddle Dees from Kirby Right Back at Ya! Yes all of them. They appear in the game world and are very unnerving.

Some sort of backstory for the Daroach, Adeleine, and Dark Meta Knight drawing together. Daroach confusing Dark Meta Knight for Meta Knight at first glance, realizing the mistake then asking him to go on a heist with him anyway. They need to steal another mcguffin of sorts from some evil person. Along the way they encounter Adeleine and Ribbon who inform them the evil person is possessed by dark matter. Dark Meta Knight ends up taking a blow for his friends. They win and then notice something is amiss at Castle Dedede...

Kirby is naturally good at many things! Not cooking though and he is about to cry if he ruins these cookies one more time.

Marx becomes an assistant of Chef Kawasaki. He helps as a server/delivery person. He ends up serving many old acquaintances who are very suspicious. It's not really a scheme though, Chef Kawasaki just feeds him. Marx telling people this does not soothe them. Kirby forgives him though and Marx really can't understand that because Kirby has no reason to do so.

Each of the Meta Knights joining the crew. From first to last it's Captain Vul (Meta Knight hired him because he was the best pilot around) Sword and Blade (similar backstory to KRBAY) Trident and Javelin (abandoned on some mechanized world that Haltmann got to) Mace and Axe (friends trying to be strong warriors on a peaceful planet) and Sailor Dee (hired by Captain Vul for ship help despite apparent lack of fighting capabilities). The found family trope is strong.

[alixinwwonderland]

Can I request a followup to that last one maybe??

First part here

Being with Midge is easy in all the ways Lenny never thought he'd get to have, and hard in all the ways he never thought he'd have to deal with.

On the one hand, quite possibly the biggest relief of his life is that adding romance (and sex. a lot of sex. really great sex) to their relationship hasn't actually changed it that much, and certainly hasn't ruined it. They still challenge each other and tease each other and banter with ease. Somehow, from the start, they just slid into each other's lives like they'd always been there, and the pressure he expects from Dating-with-a-capital-D just ... doesn't manifest.

That kind of stability also means that other things are easier than he ever thought he'd get to experience. It turns out that it's a hell of a lot easier to tackle a raging addiction and a headache-inducing legal quagmire when you've got people calm and on your side, willing to listen to you rant about free speech or sit patiently while you struggle to keep down a few spoonfuls of broth. And it's not even just Midge. It's Abe, always raring for a good rampage about free speech and injustice; it's Rose, elegant and tentative and much wiser in her advice than she gets credit for; it's Zelda, sitting with Lenny while Midge gets some food and rest. Hell, it's even Susie, who brings her own special brand of ferocity to wrangling the showbiz side of things when even his own manager is about ready to tap out from the stress.

But then there's the other stuff. Namely, one slick-haired schmuck of an ex-husband.

Now, as an ex-husband himself, Lenny understands a little about the breed. The frustration, the blame game, the guilt, the what-ifs, even the misplaced jealousy. He gives the man credit - he's doing his best to be a more active father to Ethan and Esther than Lenny managed to be during his post-divorce, mid-addiction years.

But Joel Maisel, well, he seems to have a knack for making pretty much everyone and everything around him worse. Lenny would find his floundering and lashing out amusing, if Joel didn't also have a knack for finding Midge's weak spots and drilling down on them in his more spiteful moments.

Which is why Lenny is strolling into the Button Club one evening, ignoring the stares of a few people who clearly recognize him, and sliding into a bar seat right across from the man himself.

"So, I hear I've been in your fantasies as of late," he opens with. He smirks behind his hand as Joel drops the glass he's holding and turns around with a sputter.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Lenny leans back, cigarette in hand, the picture of calm.

"Rumor has it, you've been running your mouth and imagining me sticking a needle in my arm 'til it's all over. Now, I'm very sorry to disappoint an audience, but the only sticking I'm doing these days involves a certain very funny brunette and-"

"OKAY!" Joel snaps, cutting him off. "Why are you even here? Defending Midge, playing the hero until she figures it all out? She's smart, you and I both know that. Smart enough to know when to cut and run from a mess," he adds disdainfully.

Lenny can't resist a joke served up so easily.

"Yes, she certainly has a history to draw on in that department," he comments. Joel's already-scowling face flushes, partly with anger and partly with embarassment at the realization that he set that one up himself.

"And no, in answer to your question. I'm not here to 'defend' Midge. She can do that herself, and it's not as if me saying anything would change your mind anyway."

"Then why are you here?" Joel demands. Lenny looks at him and thinks about all the things he's been through, all the things he's learned since Midge walked into his life, and how in a twisted way, he has the man in front of him to thank for it all.

"You and I are stuck with each other, possibly for a long time," he says. When Joel opens his mouth to retort, he just holds up a finger. "So, from one divorced dumbass to another. I get you're miserable, but stop trying to make everyone else miserable along with you. Otherwise you'll end up hating everyone, alienating your kids, and without any friends who give a damn beyond what you can do for them. And take it from me, that is a very, very unpleasant place to be."

"Why should I listen to you, huh?" Joel demands, but there's a flicker behind his eyes that tells Lenny the deeply un-marvelous Mr. Maisel might not be as stupid as history would suggest.

"Because I went from about as low as a man can go, to the kind of life I'd never even imagined," Lenny says, simply. "And if I can make that kind of leap, well, there's hope for anyone. Even you."

He walks out without another word.

[nolavault]

I return with more bullshit (she has made up an entire Deltarune au in her attempt to justify shipping Mad Mew Mew and Queen)

Deltarune but the "legendary heroes" are the Ghost cousins. Mad Mew Mew takes Kris's role as the protag (her class is just "Magical Girl"), Blooky takes Ralsei's role as the party healer (they're a bard with their weapon of choice being a keytar), and Mettaton takes Susie's role as being. Well. Hard to work with. Rebellious. His class is ranger, but it's more in a Megaman way than in a traditional ranger way (this comes to fruition at the end of Chapter 2 when Queen gives him a robot body to possess)

Notable Story Differences:

Ralsei's still there!!! They still need a darkner to help seal the fountains! He's just not part of the main trio and ends up in this recurring bit of struggling to keep up with the cousins as everything possible in the universe somehow keeps cutting him off from the party. He holds no grudges, but it definitely does not help his insecurities.

Spamton is the main antagonist of Chapter 2 instead of Queen. Queen's "alliance" with Mew Mew ends up lasting wayyyy longer than intended and she completely gets distracted, allowing Spamton to sneak in and go Neo. I think this is more fitting for the cousins as it acts as a like "look in the mirror" moment for Mettaton in realizing that he doesn't want to become like Spamton, while Mew Mew can relate to the abandonment and "Finding the Perfect Body" aspects of his story.

The Ghost Family is relatively poor and, before Blooky managed to score a "job" at the police department, they didn't have a house and lived in the dumps around where Alphys is. One day, Alphys sunk way too much money into a life size Mew Mew figure that mysteriously vanished within a week (twas stolen by Mew as a ghost)

Mettaton gets his robot body at the end of Chapter 2 and is a ghost prior to this. Napstablook never gets a physical body as he prefers just, not being physical. They're comfy that way. They are offered one several times, and each time he refuses.

More on the poor household aspect, the family mostly relies on the library computers for internet access (Mew Mew has to use MTT's account for she is banned from the library). They have a home computer, however it's extremely slow due to all the music programs Blooky has installed (and also all the free totally-not-a-virus-we-promise games Mew Mew installed on it. She exclusively plays Dress Up Games, Kick the Buddy -likes, and Doom).

I mention Mew being banned from the library as Queen knows literally nothing about her, no matter how hard she tries, and keeps confusing Mew Mew's searches for Mettaton's. Queen also gives him transitioning tips, which is how he gets the idea for a robot body at the end of the chapter.

Napstablook music autisms with Sweet Cap'n Cakes and they recognize its music and are like. Honored to be in the presence of such a great composer. Blooky to them is what Toby Fox is to any mentally ill teenager with a music program and the Earthbound soundfont.

Also Queen and Mad Mew Mew are gay in this. I don't make the rules. They just are. Cap'n calls Queen a "hot mama" and Mew Mew hisses in response.

I don't have a name for this au yet but my autism. Is immense. And I have been thinking abt it literally all day.

[frosteee-variation]

L

okay so it has come to my attention how few ocs i actually have BUT I DO HAVE LONGHORN AND SHE COUNTS PROBABLY!! I MEAN HER NAME IS TECHNICALLY BESS ASTER BUT for the sake of the bit we're going with Longhorn yes she's also technically a Masks: A New Generation character but still she's silly and fuck it we ball

So Longhorn. I talked a little bit about her in this post, but I've gotten to play a few more sessions with her and she's gotten fleshed out a tiny bit more! Some stuff's still a bit vague but as for the gist of it

Longhorn herself was initially intended to be a bit Susie Deltarune-ish, but sort of ended up being way more of a mess than I imagined. A bull in a china shop, if you want to be funny about it. Initially, she just kind of did her own thing out on her family's farm with a preference for scrapes and scraps, until some weird historian dude came up to her and went something like, "hey, you've got a small bit of minotaur blood in you (don't question it this is a superhero origin story), how about I take that and awaken it and you can champion my evil plan to bring about a new age of awakening by just reenacting all those legends." To which, naturally, she said "NO????" and he trapped her in a corn maze anyways because he likened it to the labyrinth. Also, it was temporary before he could find a more permanent solution.

Now, Longhorn was not and still isn't good at mazes. Somewhat thematically appropriate. She's more of an "action first, thinking later" kind of gal. So she would've definitely been trapped for some time, and she wandered around for a while before realizing that it was literally just corn and she just. Walked through the maze and cheated. She eventually hopped a bus to Halcyon City to stay with her Uncle Angus, and she chalked the whole thing up to "wanderlust" to not worry her parents and also not cause any suspicion with the literal superpowers that she had now. They're now letting her stay for the year to go to school there and get some experience being in the city, and she eventually met up with the rest of the party (G-Force, who she met in precalculus, and Adam (a super-intelligent gorilla) and Pine (pretty much Pinnochio if Pinnochio was also like Jack Horner from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and also really suspicious) through G-Force) and is now an honorary member of their team!

She definitely has a blunt demeanor and the confidence to match, though her unfamiliarity with literally everything going on around her has sort of led to her lying about how she "TOTALLY knows what she's doing" all the time. She also plays up the cowboy bit a lot. Despite all that though, we've recently found out that she's actually a really good shoulder to lean on in that odd sort of way, even if she knows that she doesn't have all the answers herself.

on less serious notes though, her favorite flavor is butterscotch, her hat has that many stitches because she literally can't take it off with the horns sticking through without ripping it, and one time over pizza when someone asked her to talk about her past victories to take g-force's mind off of plot she lied through her teeth and came up with stallion, a "half-man-half-horse-horse-man-horse" who wore a leather jacket and also had an inexplicable western accent for some reason

[slasherwhxre]

HELLO your post ab killers w their s/o moaning someone elses name in their sleep? absolute brainrot 😭😭 if ur down, could u do the same scenario but for joey, the oni and the nemesis? My brain is overflowing thank u so much for the delicious content 😭😭❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

<3<3

DBD Killers' Reaction to: You Moaning Someone Else's Name in Your Sleep, pt. 2

part 1 here (Herman, Michael, Danny, Frank)

Character(s): Kazan Yamaoka, Legion Joey, Nemesis

Kazan Yamaoka:

"Evan, oh,"

Kazan doesn't need to hear you for the second time to catch on.

Evan.. He tries to remember.

Evan.. MacMillan?

'The coward of an heir to the MacMillan estate?'

You could simply not be imagining such a dishonorable man on top of you.

Reminded of the killer's pathetic past with fury gripping at his collar, Kazan can hardly keep his hand from grabbing the futon your body is laying on.

All those lives had been sacrificed and still, the prized estate of the man you were fantasizing was basically in ruins still. What a waste. Not like it could ever share the charm of the Japanese family estate, anyway.

The weak man or his weak traps, cowardly weapons, Kazan considers them, do not stand a chance against a warrior like himself, one that was from a powerful bloodline unlike him.

The heir of MacMillan is no match for me or you, at least in Kazan's book, or rather his big Kanabou, the powerful and studded samurai war club.

Had his infamous wraith and a desire to uphold traditions not taken over, he would've let out a roaring laugh that fit such a demon like himself.

Unfortunately, he didn't. His world views were more or less tied to the time period he had lived in. which meant Kazan couldn't even begin to explain how unacceptable your behavior was.

Inappropriate, looked down upon, shamed. Unlike him making you scream with pleasure in the padded unsprung style of bedding, again and again, for you were more or less his.

Partaking or dreaming of pre-marital sex out in the open might have been disregarded and a no source of concern for lower classes like you came from, but Kazan was from an upper class and so were you now.

Kazan had already messed up once when he was alive while trying to regain any amount of honor, and a non-formal relationship with someone not worthy of his family name would show him the pattern continued even in this realm. After all, affairs weren't supposed to be based on romantic attraction, and ashamed as he was to admit it, this one was.

You would learn to submit to the head of the Yamaoka house, in every way possible, if you knew what was best for you.

Joey:

"Ah, Philip," 

Joey had been more or less impartial about your past, and most definitely not a saint himself, but he probably didn't need to put it into words why it was wrong of you to dream-fuck your ex-boyfriend right beside your present one. 

I mean, that was indeed your ex, right? He must have been. Joey didn't know anyone named Philip, as far as he remembered. 

Later on, his forgetfulness would result in what could be defined as one of the most embarrassing moments of his life.

"Do you guys know a Philip?"

Frank turned towards him, itching the forehead part of his mask. "No. Why?"

"No reason."

"Right."

"I think I do," Susie cut in between them, "That's Wraithy."

"Wraith..y?" Joey questioned, repeating her. 

"Yup. Wasn't his name Philip, Jules?"

Julie nodded, and Frank seemed to remember it too then. "Yeah, he's Philip. Why are you asking?"

Joey's chill exterior was evaporating at a fast pace as he came to the realization, leaving its place to an abnormality, also known as passive aggressiveness. 

"No reason." 

Regretting ever asking, he left without a second word.

"You owe me one, Frank."

"Shit. Yeah, whatever. I really thought they were having a threesome. Can't blame a guy for thinking of that first, can you?"

Joey hadn't left soon enough, resulting in him hearing their last words. A.. threesome? 

Like hell, Joey replied internally. 

If anyone thought he didn't get jealous just because he wasn't as possessive as any other person, they couldn't be more wrong.

It didn't take a lot of effort. 

Seeing the skull mask behind one of the many trees around the campfire, you jumped up and away, leaving your friends a with a bullshit sounding excuse.

"Hey," you greeted him, and Joey gave a nod. Being quiet was a normal quality of him, although the reason was not a part of his identity for once. You started putting a distance between the survivors, going deeper into the dark woods.

"How are you?"

"Confused." 

"Confused?" His first ever words had taken you back by surprise. "Uh-huh."

"About?.." 

Joey's unusually matter of fact behavior was already successful in making you nervous, but his steps next to you suddenly stopped. 

"I'm trying to figure out if you have a thing for guys who can't keep a job."

"What?" You blinked. 

"Y'know, me." He stepped closer before continuing, "And 'Philip'."

And you thought you were intimidated initially. Instinctively backing up and bumping against a half rotting tree, you tried to make sense of this weird subject. "What are you even on about?"

Joey was close to ripping out a chunk of the tree behind you, instead he scolded you, getting rid of the space between your bodies. "You can't be that forgetful." 

"I'm not being forgetful." 

His curved blade suddenly hit the old trunk, and you let out a yelp. 

While the sharp weapon had missed any vital area, a bunch of your hair was caught up in it, making escape rather painful.

Actions had been always louder than words for Joey. This time they were clearly telling you're not allowed out of his sight, or rather, palm. 

"Was this what he was doing?" The words were spoken into your neck as his free hand wandered up your midriff.

His fingers were cold. Far too cold for your warm skin, but that was the last sensation you could pay attention to while they pinched a nipple, earning him weird squeals from you.

"Joe- please," 

Struggling to make out words for what he was up to so out in the open, you let out something comprehensible at last.

"Please what?"

Your begging softened the way he was feeling you up for a second while he brought his covered forehead to yours.

"I only have a thing for you," you promised, but the sentence had come out like a reminder, one he secretly needed, still not more than your body, for the time being. "You know I belong to you and you only,"

"Yeah," he agreed casually, "You better know it too."

Nemesis:

"Chris, ooh,"

Nemesis couldn't grasp the meaning of the strange sound that left your sleeping form.

The only logical part of it had been the name to him, it was one he was familiar with.

S.T.A.R.S..

Ex-member Chris Redfield, colleague and friend of Jill Valentine.

The sound after that, however, wasn't really something he could make sense of.

It wasn't pain, as he more than knew how to inflict that, yet had never had the pleasure of hearing something along the lines of ooh.

Whatever it was, your mannerisms were odd to say the least, and the mention of a person of interest to him raised suspicion, so it didn't matter if he didn't exactly know what to make of it.

First things first, his hands would land on your body to shake you out of it.

How could he have known that this would backfire on him greatly?

Even programs had their limits, and he seemed to be at his when your noises only amplified on impact, and the first confusion he felt was nothing compared to the present.

Then he received his first and only hint. "Touch me, ah-"

Finally, discerning the situation, he scooped up your body in an instant, giving you a small heart attack. You suddenly opened your eyes up in the air, being carried to somewhere unknown on his shoulder like you weighted absolutely nothing.

While your heaviness was by no means acknowledged, your back was.

Your behind was presented with a loud smack. Aware of his own strength, he was going to make reality better than whatever scenario you were just in.

Punishment wasn't his goal, not yet at least.

He was simply pursuing your naughty dream for now, it was what he was made to do, after all, but you were in for more delicious stings either way.

Who knew copulating with the enemy had some painfully good consequences, and even former humans could be jealous?

Alright, alright. What is the actual aborted magnitomb route because Berdly and Kris being partners on stealing people's stuff is silly.

Ohhh... I have to think for this one.

My thoughts about this are gonna be under the Read More.

Ok, so compared to the Snowgrave Route, the Magnitomb Route offers way more dialogue opportunities for you to drop the route, the last one being saying "I'm helping him play!" to Noelle (though I honestly haven't thought of what her reaction to that would be, yet)

The absolute last chance one gets to abort the route is in the battle with Noelle itself, where you can abort the route by either only attacking with EnergyShock/normal attacks or ACTing, like in Berdly's battle for Snowgrave (The ACTs are the same as Berdly's fight).

Looking at some videos, aborting Snowgrave at any point will just set you back onto the Normal route after a few unique dialogues from Noelle. However, I feel like aborting Magnitomb would leave a bit more of an effect, like how aborting a full No Mercy route does with Undertale.

If you choose the "Please teach me!" or "Sorry, you're good!" dialogue options when Berdly talks to you about loot drops and teaching you how to play, maybe Berdly and Kris wouldn't start stealing stuff from people, but there'd be an increased drop of money, and an occasional armor drop (ex. Glow Wrist, Royal Pin). So aborting the route there would give you more goodies.

Aborting the route during the Annoying Mouse puzzle (letting Berdly solve it instead of saying "Proceed") will have him comment with something like "Whew! Thank you. For a second, I thought you were... Well, perhaps SUSIE may take humor in your cruel jokes, but I do not. Don't scare me like that again!"

If you abort the Magnitomb Route fairly late, it would have a few effects on the latter half of the story. Berdly joins the full party with Susie and Ralsei, like Noelle does in other routes, and though I can't name all of the differences THAT would have, he's there until they reach Queen's castle with Noelle in Queen's possession, Noelle being rather defiant towards her. Berdly buts in and he and Noelle do the old switcheroo back, and their roles in story are back to what they were in the canon game. Queen also has a funny comment when she notices you brought Berdly to the castle, like "Oh... You Brought... Him, Here. Thanks? I Guess???"

The story continues as a Neutral Route of Deltarune Chapter 2: the gang is captured, Berdly still gets his moment of character development in the Queen's puzzle rooms, Noelle is alive and in her room, Berdly still gets controlled by Queen (poor dude just can't get a break in this AU, huh?), but there are notable differences here and there.

1. Berdly has a few different comments towards Kris that show him being uneasy around them because of what The Player had done earlier. Perhaps it's stuff like "Why are you giving me that look?" in the puzzle rooms when The Player tries to interact with him, or him mildly freaking out and snapping at Susie a bit when she asks Kris to come along with them before they go to Noelle (Berdly immediately apologizes after realizing he just kind of yelled at Susie)

2. The Ferris Wheel scene with Noelle and Susie and Berdly having a... Moment with Noelle doesn't happen, and would instead be replaced with more tense and odd-feeling scene of Susie and Berdly working together outside of Noelle's room. Berdly's pretty on-edge and Susie, not really picking up on the fact that he's acting a bit weirder than usual, is fed up with him and decides to go in and save Noelle herself without his help. When she exits after a while, her dialogue is similar to how it is in the Snowgrave Route when Susie exits Noelle's room. "Okay Berdly we're done here, you can go on ahead or something. I told her this is all a dream and she's feeling better now." And if Berdly prods more, she says something like "Can you stop bugging me about it? If you're so worried, go in and check on her yourself." Then she runs off back to Kris and Ralsei. The scene ends with Berdly being like "Noelle my lady! Your knight in glow in the dark armor is coming to rescue you!" Then he goes in, and it's meant to be implied that this is what gets Noelle captured by Queen again, and Berdly controlled.

3. Like in the Neutral Route of Deltarune, Berdly fries his arm after pulling Queen's plug off himself. The Player isn't given any ability to help him in Queen's battle. Berdly still helps the gang out for the climax in assembling a mech, but his... Statue is missing from the scene, and he doesn't address Kris in his dialogue for it.

4. Berdly's dialogue in Hometown is mostly unchanged, with a couple of things to note: He doesn't initially reject the idea of studying with Kris and Susie like he does in Pacifist/Neutral routes, instead saying "Well, if that's what Noelle wants, then... I suppose I can't object to it!" and Susie makes a small comment like "(Huh, thought he'd say something different?)". And like in the Neutral Route, Berdly has the same dialogue finding out that his arm won't move, and Noelle helps him carry his books.

The ending after that is no different from the Pacifist, Neutral, or Snowgrave endings. Kris still opens up a fountain in their house.

I hope this all made sense? It wasn't something I really thoroughly thought about until now.

[pupbeat]

me rambling abt stuff i noticed on my deltarune chapter 2 playthrough, with a few screenshots sprinkled in. secret boss stuff included in here because i did do that

[Image ID: A screenshot of Ralsei, Susie, and Kris from Deltarune all posing next to eachother. Susie holds up her fist and smiles confidently, Ralsei holds his arms and one leg out joyfully, and Kris turns mostly away from the viewer in a cool pose. End ID.]

stuff from chapter 1 if you have save data is remembered, like the thrashing machine you created for susie and lancer.

If you go to the entrance of the school while you have the dark world stuff balanced on your head, you get a cutscene with Alphys and Toriel. Toriel is showing concern for Kris and their wellbeing, implying they have been acting stranger than normal as of late.

At aforementioned cutscene's room, you can call Toriel on your phone and insist you aren't strange.

Kris doesn't want to acknowledge or dwell on a fair amount of mentioned family stuff. They close their eyes if you try to look in Asriel's room at Queen's Mansion. They also choose not to read anymore when you try to read an article in the police station that mentions Asgore Dreemurr no longer being on the force.

Previous point, perhaps a parallel to Undertale where he hurt people like the fallen 6 children and Toriel wanted very little more to do with him and by extension was removed from the force?

The character that is (presumably) Mettaton would like something enertaining by tomorrow in game, probably meaning next chapter.

You can't hang out with Papyrus unfortunately, and his house says the trousle of bones grows fainter.

Unfortunate cutscene with Asgore, Toriel, and Sans in the latter's shop, if you go around the left side of the store. Asgore wants San's free complimentary pickles...

Cutscene at the very bottom of town as well, where Susie defends Kris who was supposedly a "weenie" about whatever is behind the locked door.

Rouxls Kaard's name is confirmed pronounces "rules".

[Image ID: A Screenshot from Deltarune Chapter 2 of Ralsei and Kris on a swan boat with Rouxls Kaard on the opposing ship, with an eyepatch and pirate hat. Rouxls' textbox reads "*Chips Ahoyeth, Landlubbers!" End ID. ]

Sans is a bit awkward at the Asgore scene, and turns away when he comes in. Also he says this in the store and I hate him for it.

[Image ID: Screenshot of San's textbox in Deltarune Chapter 2, reading: "*maybe a day... maybe another 2 years. " End ID.]

After the secret boss, Kris is asked if they are ok. In my playthrough I chose "No." and Susie and Ralsei comment on Kris apparently yelling this answer. Ralsei subsequently tries to comfort Kris, saying that there's probably no deeper meaning to the puppet imagery of the fight. I don't think Kris agrees.

Speaking of the secret fight, heres a bit of my experience with that specifically.

My game crashed when I hit the Transfer answer in the shop when working on getting to the fight. This is probably not supposed to happen, and worked just fine once I tried again.

I had more difficulty with the teacups after turning off the forcefield on the way to the fight than the fight itself. How i dealt with it aside from learning the pattern of the obstacles on the teacup ride, is to move my hand position to one pointer finger on the left and right arrow keys alone.

With the fight itself, I went the mercy route and got an armor called the DealMaker (I think) when defeating the boss.

My strategy for the fight was to use Snap All whenever my party had about half HP or more. ButJuice (lol) is very helpful but i recommend a few items that heal the entire party a bit as well, and the SpinCake was very essential for me.

Try to figure out what attacks its more helpful to charge your bullets for (in my experience, the eyes nose mouth attack, the egg attack, and the telephone attack) and what attacks to spam the minor bullets for.

If you beat this fight, go to Seam and that funny little cat will take the Crystal from you, and mention that the next fight may be impossible for you, especially without the "dark mantle" (?). Which Seam seems to say has gone missing. So we are screwed I guess.

The fight with K_K, Cap'n, and the last one I forget the name of (Sweets?) is hard in my opinion, but I didn't realize its more of getting through as many turns as possible until you get the ability to have Ralsei and Susie do their own ACTs. So it is probably ok to focus more on healing than dancing.

I gave Berdly the gift and in this case, it was a tiny plush of Berdly with nipples apparently. he appreciated it but no one else knew why Kris did it. i dont know why I did it either.

If you go back to Castle Town at the end, I noticed at least 2 NPCs mention people being left behind. Spade King says so angrily, and I believe Cap'n (whatever the radio head character is named. im sorry im bad with names) is the other who mentions such. I want to say this is because I may have failed to recruit every possible enemy.

You can find the Ice-E and Susie Statues in Kris and Susie's rooms at the end as well, if you interacted with those when they first show up.

Kris, in their room, seems to note a lack of agency again, if you check their closet. They say "They could wear whatever they want." but obviously, they cannot.

That's it of what I remember for now, because I was up till 2 AM playing it and my memory is bad. If anything significant pops up in my memory later I may add to this! Thanks for reading!

DELTARUNE SPOILERS

Heyyy! I wrote a thing involving Jevil and the Chapter 2 Superboss! I'm going to put it under the cut, but at the end, there will also be an Ao3 link if you wanna support me there!

Thank you! Remember to Reblog if you wanna

The Lightner Trio walked down the stairs in the Queen's massive manor, their hurried footsteps echoing like a rough pitter-patter in the technological nightmare. The massive lair confused and bamboozled them, but they definitely wanted to figure out the mystery behind what the Fountains were about, what Queen's true intentions were… and what was in the basement?

"Uhh… Kris?" Ralsei asked, his soft voice echoing out. "Why are we even here? Aren't Queen, Noelle, and Berdly upstairs? And not here…?"

Susie quickly interrupted him, punching his arm lightly to get his attention. "Of COURSE they aren't here. But whatever is here is probably important. Right, Kris?"

"I guess!" The currently blue human replied. "I've been asked by some… guy, about doing these weird favors for him. He really wants me to be alone."

"We sure he ain't a p-" Before Susie could finish her thought, Ralsei muffled her mouth with his scarf. "Who is he? And why does he want you to be alone?"

"His name is Spamton, I think. I don't know much about him, but he gave me this Loaded Disk earlier, and--"

Suddenly, a strange, chaotic voice rang out. Everyone recognized it. The tail attached to Ralsei's cloak popped off, diamonds and hearts flying out with it. The tail spun and took form, and the chaotic Jester they quite literally put to rest yesterday was reawakened.

"Spamton? SPAMTON? The same Spamton who wished for me to go, to go, and be free, free?" Jevil laughed chaotically, with Ralsei caught quite off guard. "You know him?"

"That dorito chip was part of the reason why I was set free, he was! He used to rule this world, before the Queen I've been hearing oh so much about took over. Oh, I MUST know more of how you met that ridiculous lunatic! And that's coming from ME, ME! Spamton, oh Spamton, I'd like to have a word with him~!" Jevil looked quite pissed off, his normally jovial expression looking slightly stern.

"I didn't wanna go down there anyway. Just come back, okay? You're kind of carrying us with your defense boost." Kris, with a neutral expression, gave the clown the disk they were gifted by the malignant salesman, and watched as Jevil immediately sprinted off into the basement. They could hear an echoed "Buh bye~! I'll be back in a few hundred words!" As the jester descended into the decrepit basement below...

Jevil entered the musty, rotting cellar. Despite him rarely stepping on the ground, each step he did take left a haunting impact on his feet. It was silent, save for the occasional rustling of his clothes. He didn't have long to do this. His physical form only had a few hours to be out and about before he solidified, just like the young boy and the puzzle freak. Thankfully, that's all he needed. He was getting excited, almost giddy, to interact once more with his old acquaintance. Oh, what a wonderful conversation they'd have!

He didn't walk for too much longer before he found the train station that was buried deep below. Or was it a roller coaster? Whoever had this built clearly had some elaborate roundabout in mind… too bad they were still imprisoned, haha! Jevil walked and floated across the tracks, reaching a room with a decaying robot inside.

He knew this was a bad idea. But when did he ever have good ideas?

Without hesitating, the joker put the disk into the robot. At first, nothing happened, and he was getting impatient VERY quick. He gave the robot a swift kick in the lower area, before stepping back out of the room.

Step…

Step…

SLAM! The clown was admittedly caught off guard with how fast the silhouette from above came and pushed him onto his knees. With a small gasp for air, Jevil looked up slowly at the encroaching menace. The jagged movements, the glitchy, unsolidified form… this was him alright.

"KRIS… MY LOYAL [Sponge!] THANK… YOU. THE [Clown Around Town!] I REMEMBER YOUR [Disgusting] FACE. EVERYONE WAS SO [Thrilled] TO SEE YOUR [Calcified] FACE." The massive robotic behemoth loomed over Jevil, rage in his glasses. Spamton NEO.

The clown got up, a smug, shitfaced expression on his mug. He knew damn well that the dorito in front of him was pissed off, so he leaned back in the air to retort. "At least I drink plenty of milk, uee hee hee! As for you, you haven't changed one bit since we last spoke~! Or would it be a byte, a byte? Regardless, I do hope you've given up on the illusion of freedom, freedom~! The only one who can be free is MEEE!"

The robotic menace swung around to the other side of Jevil, making it very clear who was in charge of the conversation. A small concentrated blast of Pipis was fired at the jester, pushing him back with a surprising amount of force. "YOU ACT SMUG, BUT YOU [Crashed our stocks!] AND THEN YOU [Spoiled relations with our Esteemed Partners!] I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU… GOT IN HERE, YOU… [Tuna Fish,] BUT I'M NOT FALLING FOR YOUR [Roundabout!] AGAIN!"

Jevil laughed maniacally at this thought. This guy was mad! Over something that happened how long ago? Why even bother holding a grudge still? Petty, petty! He knew why, and it's why he came back too. "You influenced him. That pretty little kitty. You gave him enough funds to release me into that carousel of bliss and innocence! But I wasn't done, not one bit! And all those years, spent being free… they made me realize something, my dearest Spamton."

The oddly calm tone coming from the jester put Spamton NEO at an incredible amount of unease. "WHAT? WHAT COULD YOUR [Calcified Lump] THINK OF THAT WOULD MEAN ANY GODDAMN THING TO ME?"

"I CAN DO ANYTHING!"

The joker used his latent power to pelt the giant mecha with small white hearts. Spamton was caught off-guard, stumbling back a fair amount. Of course, you have to fight fire with fire, so the robot used his abilities to send out a Big Shot of blue Spamton Head Pipis.

"YOU [Saturated Marketshare!] YOU CAN'T SIMPLY ATTACK ME AND EXPECT IT TO WORK [As seen on TV!] I'M A [BIG SHOT!] [BIG SHOT!!!]"

Jevil hopped up onto the ceiling, clearing the first few Pipis on the lower row heading his way. Unfortunately, the higher row caught him clean in the face as he bounced between the two, making a small Jack-in-the-box melody as he pinged around.

"SPAMTON, MY BELOATHED! I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND, UNDERSTAND, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED IN A CAGE WITH A SHARK, A SHARK! YOU GET BITTEN AND CHEWED UP!"

The fool retaliated by running circles around Spamton, turning into a carousel of horse bullets! The robot, in a surprising feat of puppeteering, dodged the attack almost perfectly… until a stray horsie cut a string, sending the mech's right arm into the horse race. One thing about arms with cannons on them? They fire.

As soon as it happened, Jevil was face to face with a swarm of Pipis all around him. He was stuck. All of them exploded brilliantly, sending the clown flying clean across the rotting tracks and into the wall. Tauntingly, mockingly even, Spamton NEO retorted.

"I'M THE SHARK NOW, JEVIL! I'VE CHEWED UP SO MANY [Failed Buisness Partners] THAT I COULD MAKE A WHOLE [Presentation] OUT OF THEM! STAY OUT OF MY GODDAMN WAY, OR [Sparkle like new!] YOU BRAT."

The buisnessman charged at Jevil, his hands becoming phones. "IT'S FOR YOU." Suddenly, before either of them could react, loud blasts of garbage noise manifest expelled from the phones, attacking the court jester with white blasts of energy. There was nothing he could do to stop this robot's onslaught, it looked like.

"OH SPAMTON, IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK? THAT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S SO POWERFUL RIGHT NOW, NOW? I'D SUGGEST YOU LOOK UP, UP! YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT THOSE STRINGS IMPRISONING YOU, UEE HEE HEE! YOU'RE NOT A BIG SHOT, YOU'RE JUST A LAZY FRAUD WHO CAN'T STOP HANGING ON TO HIM! I GUESS SLEEPING FOR 100 YEARS DOESN'T MAKE LITTLE OLD ME MISS MUCH, RIGHT?"

Without warning, Jevil was myseriously gone from his corner. The spamware looked frantically for his target, before being struck in the arm, the leg, and the chest by scythes. Devilsknives. The last knive cut a few strings clean off the puppet, who briefly hit the ground before rising back up.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! [Hyperlink Blocked.] I'M STILL HIS LOYAL ASSOCIATE! HE MAY NOT HAVE TALKED TO ME IN [Employee of The Month for 144 months!] BUT HE'S STILL THERE…"

Jevil interrupted him cleanly and concisely. "FACE IT. YOU'RE NO BIG SHOT ANYMORE, SPAMTON G. SPAMTON. ALL YOU ARE IS A FAILED INVESTMENT, UEE HEE HEE!"

With those words, a purple blast came from behind the clown, striking the robot right in the noggin. He flew back a bit, giving the joker enough time to turn around to meet his esteemed guests.

"Ah, my imprisoners~! Didn't you guys have a Queen to rock-em sock-em?"

Susie immediately cut him off, as she punched him in the arm (causing his head to spring up, naturally.) "Well, Kris over here couldn't shake the feeling things were off. So they forced us down here, and now they're right. Somehow?"

"I know I'm right.. Jevil, who the hell is Spamton?" Kris replied, their worry about the situation starting to rise.

"It's of no concern to you~! His screws were almost as loose as mine, and I don't think it's my job to tighten them~! Uee hee hee! Thank you for the help, but I can do anything~! Even tell you guys that 3 coasters are about to come down and force you guys along for the ride~!"

Ralsei immediately stuttered something out. "Three… what?"

And just like that, with a loud rumbling, the heroes were swept up into 3 old, rusty carts, barrelling down the track. Jevil laughed to himself, proud of what he got to do. "Ah well, it's a shame I can't finish him personally…"

"But oh well! Are you proud, proud? They took care of him…"

"Doctor."

Ao3 Link!

[angelofthepage]

In general / in your interpretation of her, what would you see as Susie Campbell's greatest flaw? (feel free to pick an AU Susie if you'd rather!)

Oh golly, this is a good question! I've been pondering this as I've been organizing things, and the best answer I have for now is that Susie's greatest flaw is she cares too much about what people think of her, and that trait fuels her shift into being more manipulative. In some ways, I almost see her and Joey as two sides of the same coin. This is a long one, so we're hitting this with a read more.

Susie's always read to me as someone who is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but horribly insecure. She's filled with so much hope and enthusiasm for her work, she's eager to please, and she takes things to heart. When you're kind to her and talk well of her skills, she's over the moon and thankful for it, but when you have moments like Joey replacing her and whatever the heck happened with Sammy, where her world came crashing down, I get the sense her confidence took a huge hit. She acts all tough in her audio log before meeting with Joey about that "opportunity", but I get the sense she's really insecure about it deep down.

She's an actress in more than just her voice, she knows how to put on a face and act out the part incredibly well, but ultimately, she's trying to get the best result, be it validation, attention, good pay, what have you. And I'd argue that the biggest shift in her becoming Malice is that she goes from worrying about what people think of her to wanting to control what they think of her. She plays herself up as being powerful, intimidating, a force to be feared, she controls how you see her now.

And it's that particular notion that makes me think she's not so different from Joey Drew. With his Illusion of Living and need to have people think well of him, and control the narrative, they have a lot in common. Ultimately the need for control, when they felt those in control failed them, is both of these characters' undoing, and it'd be really interesting to see them come to that realization together. I forget where in BATIM it is, or if this is just something I read in a fic (if anyone has a clue where it's from, please correct me), but there's a quote somewhere about 'you're either put in someone's pocket or you're putting them in yours,' and that sums up the attitude pretty well to me. And honestly, I'd like to see her learn to trust people again, as well as be someone trustworthy, but that's something I'll have to write for myself. Heck, it IS something I'd like to write within a couple of fics actually.

Of course, that's just my general overview, I tend to write her a little bit differently when it comes to AUs. Namely, if we were to touch on MOTW Susie, she differs. She's paralyzed by some things but more proactive in others, but her greatest flaw in my mind is that she doesn't have a good balance of when to trust people and when to be confident in her own abilities. Particularly in our last couple of sessions, she's taken a step back and let the others do the talking, even though she's got more than enough charisma to charm her way into the answers, the whole 'being new to magic' thing has her afraid of everything, best let her friends who know more about this handle taking the lead. She's so stuck in her role as the nurturer that she's not sure how to handle taking the leap and doing something daring, she's afraid of making things worse. I just want to tell her 'girl, you gotta be more confident, you've got this! Go with your gut, don't second guess yourself!' Now granted, being gentle and cautious isn't a bad thing, but there's a time and place for it.

[hello-im-not-a-possum]

Hell's Studio fic idea: A pipe bursts and Sammy becomes a toon Imp like Snowflake and Bendy, and Joey doesn't know how to reverse it ASAP, so Sammy is stuck as a toon Imp and Sammy decides to hangout with Snowflake until Joey can reverse the ink's magic (Bonus points if: Sammy gets a uncontrollable stutter as a toon Imp, Susie cooing her small boyfriend, and Sammy drawing with snowflake)

I am So sorry that this took so freaking long, but here you go!

Wally slapped his forehead in exasperation as he heard the pipe bursting from the music department's break room. Then proceeded to go in there, with Snowflake following close behind just in case he needed someone small to check in any holes in the wall that the pipe made in the process.

The sight was familiar, but unwelcome to the pair; a pile of thick ink sliding down onto the floor through the broken pipe peeking through the ceiling. Snowflake was only thankful that it had spilled to the floor instead of the pool table.

“I’m startin' ta think dat eitheah we should completely tear down da music department to put in a betteah pipe system, or just stop fixin' the dang things so dat they at least stop surprisin' us."

The Janitor grumbled as he started mopping up the mess.

"A-at least nobody got caught in it this time."

As soon as Snowflake said that, something under the pile began to move.

“Mmmmh?"

"Yikes, spoke too soon, kiddo."

Wally stated calmly as he started to scrape the excess ink off of what looked exactly like Bendy, except the imp's tie lacked the fun patterns Bendy often wore, and more importantly, he was missing his mouth. So the obvious conclusion the pair made was: The ink ruined his tie by dying it black and also stole his mouth.

"M-mr. Bendy?! are you okay?!"

The formerly buried imp looked at the other one with a perplexed expression before mouthing something, realized that he wasn't saying anything, patting his face where his mouth should've been, and looking like he was about to panic.

"MMMMmmPPHH?! MMMH!! MMPHH!!!"

"Looks like the ink erased your pie hole, boss."

The imp rolled his eyes at stared at Wally in a very sarcastic manner before leaving the room, most likely to visit Joey about this issue.

"...Do you think he's not going to want to do that drawing lesson later?"

"What, Bendy? not want ta draw with ya overah somethin' like this? Nah. It's nothin' fun to wake up to, but I don't think it'll eat at him like it will if it happened ta Sammy."

----------------------

"MmMMmMMM?!?! MMPHH!! MMMPPHHH!?"

Sammy hopped up and down while wildly gesturing to the blank white space on his face where his mouth was supposed to be while Joey flipped through heavily ink-stained spell books. Meanwhile, the real Bendy was still gawking at his doppelganger, still not quite sure whether he should feel flattered or offended that the ink pulled this on Sammy. But also not saying anything because he couldn't find any jokes to lighten the mood with.

It would be one thing if the ink also gave Sammy Bendy's trademark smile (that could make other expressions too). If it did that, Bendy would be making so many mirror and twin related jokes. But it didn't.

"It's going to be fine." Joey repeated almost more to himself than to the hopping mad imp. "Just because an ink flood took out some of my reversal spells, doesn't mean that you're going to be stuck like this forever. Best case scenario, it'll take a few hours for me to find the right one, worst case scenario I'm going to need to order a new book, and that might take a while."

"MMm MmhP?"

"I don't know how long! Some of these are the rarest on the market! Goodness knows how long it'll take to replace if it's ruined and has the correct cure in it..."

The music director let out a heavily muffled, frustrated sigh.

"Yes, I'm annoyed too." Joey sighed as well. "But at least it's not going to be forever."

'Easy for you to say.' Sammy thought to himself as trying and failing to talk was starting to hurt his jaw. 'You're not the one dealing with this! how am I supposed to do my job when I can't speak to anyone?!'

He must've been gesturing as he thought this as Joey snapped his fingers in realization and handed Sammy a notebook and a pencil.

"I know it won't help with the more vocal aspects of your job, but it's better than not having any way to communicate. And much easier than trying to learn sign language in less than a day and with only four digits on each hand."

He tried to write down 'Thanks Joey' but his hands refused to obey him. Confusingly, he instead drew a thumbs up.

"Why thank you! Glad to see that you're taking this better than expected Sammy. I'd better get to work on looking for that spell..."

As Joey left the room, Sammy frowned at the notebook, trying to figure out why he did that. Bendy also peeked at the drawing and felt something click.

"So..." the copied imp awkwardly tugged at his tie as he avoided making eye contact with Sammy. "Just outta curiosity sake, does Snowflake know about this? At least, the fact that it's well, you instead of me?"

Sammy gave Bendy a funny look but nodded anyway.

"Okay, follow up question: ...Is now a bad time to tell you that before you burst in here trying to tell us to fix this that Joey and I were arguing over whether I should go to this meeting with GENT or to give drawing lessons to Snowflake like I promised to, and literally right before you came in I said: 'Well dang it Joey if I could be in two places at once, I would!'?"

Sammy frowned as he saw the guilty yet pleading look in Bendy's eyes, calmly took the newspaper off of Joey's desk, rolled it up and smacked Bendy right upside the head.

"Hey! What gives?!" He sputtered as he rubbed the back of his head.

The Mute music director drew a series of pictures: Bendy putting something in the ink, the ink rising up and flashing him the 'ok' hand sign, Bendy giving it a thumbs up in return and leaving on his merry way, a shift in perspective revealing Sammy as a human having seen the interaction but shrugging it off, Sammy (still human) playing pool with Jack, Grant, and Johnny, the four of them having a good time, the ceiling above them creaking and rumbling ominously, making the four opt to leave, Sammy coming back into the pool room slightly later and keeping an eye on the ceiling, Sammy taking what he came back into the room for, the ceiling above him suddenly bursting and covering him with ink, and the last picture; a bunch of puzzle pieces being fit together, with the picture on the pieces being a lit light bulb.

After showing Bendy his work, he crossed his arms and tapped his foot on the ground.

"What?! You can't seriously blame me for- Okay, yes. I did kinda make a request... but I figured I'D be the one getting drenched! Not you!"

Sammy raised a single eyebrow as Bendy let out a frustrated sigh.

"Look, if I knew that this was what would happen, I wouldn't have done it! But now that it's happened ...would ya help me out with this?"

Sammy's next drawing was his current form with an intentionally bad scribble of Bendy's mouth on the space where he was supposed to have a mouth to indicate it was (poorly) drawn on, and he was trying and failing to do Bendy's job for him as he couldn't speak.

"Of course I'm not going to shirk my responsibilities to make you pretending to be me look like an idiot in front of those big wigs at GENT. I mean, goodness, if this thing flops, who knows what'll happen."

The Musician then showed Bendy a drawing that was so horrible and cold that he wouldn't even dare grace it with a description.

"WHAT KINDA DEMON DO YOU THINK I AM, LAWRENCE?!" Bendy quieted down and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I get it, Damned if I do the thing, damned if I don't do the other thing. I can't let down Snowflake, but if I'm not at that meeting, the studio's relationship with GENT could get bruised! This is why I tried this stunt in the first place!"

He sighed as Sammy just continued to tap his foot in annoyance. "Tell you what, help me and I'll give you anything you ask for! A raise, me not pranking you for a month, more paid vacation days, magic-repelling acetone, name it and it's yours!*"

*Within reason. I'm a demon not a miracle worker!

Sammy showed Bendy an intentionally shaky 'Ok' sign, the closest thing he could think of to a picture version of a hesitant and unwilling 'fine, I'll do it...'

"Oh Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Bendy practically crushed his doppelganger in a spine-breaking hug. "I really owe you this one Sammy!"

'I hope you realize how goddamned lucky you are that I like that kid.' Sammy thought to himself as he patted his double on the back. 'Otherwise I'd hang you out to dry for doing this...'

------------------------

The music director had no interest in deceiving Snowflake; even if he wanted to follow Bendy's plan to the spirit of his deal, he knew too well that the studio and it's ink would always drag any secret up to the surface. So it would just be easier to come clean at the start before lies had the chance to spiral into something that could completely break the poor kid.

"Hi Mr. Bendy! Are you ready for our lesson?"

Sammy nodded, but gestured for his pupil to wait a second before he flipped through the pages of his sketchbook and showed him a series of pictures: some showing the origin of his new condition, and the others showing his deal with Bendy.

"Oh." The child imp seemed sad, and slightly disappointed, but also not surprised. "So Bendy couldn't make it today either..."

The older imp sympathetically patted Snowflake on the back and tried his best to draw out an explanation, but it's kind of hard to put 'He really did want to make it, in fact, he wanted to so much that he was willing to split himself in half for it! But as you can see, it kinda backfired...' into picture format, luckily he got the message across fairly well.

"I-it's okay, I understand. Thanks for filling in for him Mr. Lawrence!"

Snowflake pulled out his own notebook and pencils.

"Do you think you can show me how to do hands that well?"

Sammy eagerly nodded and flipped his book to a blank page.

Hi have some music recs :)

(relatively long ask warning)

Moth's Wings - by Passion Pit. So good and right, actually has more Artemis Fowl or Noelle vibes than Kris, but still very very good for them too.

Fresh Concrete - by Bears In Trees. Fits well with Kris after a few months/years trying to recover from possession/bunker/Dess leaving trauma. "didn't know that 'happy' wasn't 'healing'" yeah me too bud

We Built This City - by Starships. An oldie but a long-time favorite. Work music! Susie makes Ralsei sing it with her while helping with renovations :) my mom turns the volume all the way up when we play this in the car! I keep accidentally throwing my voice out by singing too loudly lol

Boxes - by Gavin James. Kris vibes, but specifically Kris finally coming to terms with the fact that just because they aren't a "real" monster doesn't mean that they're a human. We're all different underneath.

The clementine I had today was.. sour 😫 Did Not Like. I had a pear tho, that was much nicer, and a banana. Did you eat any fruit today? What kind of fruits do you like to see in a fruit salad?

How's the cast? Gal and I are doing well :) tell the lot we say hi!

As usual, remember to eat + drink something and rest! If you're tired, the draft will still be there after you nap. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day! This has been a Daily Interaction Ask!

you've unlocked my favorite thing: relating music to characters. i LOVE all these recs! particularly fresh concrete....that one hits HARD and i love it for kris. in exchange let me drop some of my kris-centric songs.

little fang - avey tare's slasher flicks: this song is my GOTO kris song it fits them PERFECTLY. because it's about not fitting in but finding friends that make it better and my favorite line in it is "hey mrs creepy head / hey mr fuzzy face / go gnash your teeth again / youre in the right place" BECAUSE THATS KRIS FINDING FAMILY IN SUSIE AND RALSEI.....flawless song. also little fang is such a good nickname for kris and it was ALMOST the nickname i had dess give them but i decided against it at the last moment.

you are the coffin - flatsound: this song is like. depressing as shit but it fits really well as kris during their possession--their anger at the soul/player for doing it, how even if they, kris, do bad things, they are doing them as THEMSELF, and that is more important than anything good the soul does.

salt lake city - motherfolk: this song is so good i named two fics after it but also. its such a good song for kris....'i hope your organs fail you before i do.' like HELLO? thats kris. being like--i wish my friends and family were gone, because then when i fuck up, when they realize what i really am, i wont hurt them. (sidenote: this child needs therapy)

just one sec - the antlers: i see this as a kris healing song....the idea that they've been so many people (either kris vs the player or just kris vs kid-kris), because they're not ever going to be the person they were. but they're trying to get better, and they want to do it without all these ideas of what they should be: human, monster. can't they just be kris?

had some strawberries today! im so sorry about your bad fruit experience. thats the worst. i tend to just have fruit salads with whatever--its been so long i cannot remember what fruits even go in them.

we're all doing good! now there's two daemons who want to try out writing. charm's got a susie/noelle fic circling around xir head but xe isn't sure yet how to write it.

i actually managed to finish my draft today! 20k words. my god. but i plan to do absolutely nothing the rest of today as a reward <3

you have a great day!

Ralsei: Do you have any stories?

Me: yeah, a few. As my name may apply, most are to things I enjoy

Ralsei: Oh? Can y-

Susie: Hey, we're back!

Lancer: I'm here too!

Me: Do you wish to hear a story?

Susie: A story? Can it at least have blood?

Kris: Susie, not everything needs blood. What does your story have?

Me: Death, violence, blood

Kris: ...

Susie: Yeah!

Ralsei: uh, how bad is it?

Me: I probably can't describe it as well as normal, but it's of my favorite creation. I'll tell the origins, the original story, and revisions.

Lancer: ...

Me: yes Lancer?

Lancer: Can I have some popcorn?

Me: yes

*One popcorn break later*

Me: thanks for the microwave Jevil. Is everyone ready for the story?

All, plus Jevil: Yeah!

Me: The origin of Night Terror. Originally, she was only meant to be a Roleplay character. A character to be nothing but a puppet, for evil actions and tom foolery. However, she needed a backstory, and concept. I took from dreams and nightmares, and my little understanding of Freddy Krueger as a "Dream Demon" to kill in people's sleep.

Me: Her original story was bad. "Oh whoah is me. I've been killed to an uncountable number, and now I'm a being of pure vengeance that killed everyone in the world". So instead of dropping this character like others, I gave the ideas flesh and bone. Instead of being uncountable, it's uncounted and exaggerated. Instead of nonsense violence, I gave the violence flesh, abuse, to a point that'd break bones for one off action. Instead of being the sole reason her world died, it died around her as she got used to killing. I left the blood on her slit throat to let others know, she's already dead.

Susie: that sounds cool and all, but are you going to tell a story?

Kris, Whispering: Susie! Rude!

Me: No, I find that fair. Now one last stage to let you know her life being alive. Her true name is Frisk. She was a girl who was very, tired, in her world. I designed it to beat her down, just so she'd be willing to kill anything. Of course, it was hard for her, she was naturally a pacifist. She is a dream, a soul of positive energy. In a world of nightmares, they hated the energy she put off. Her own parents murdered her as a baby, but all they knew is that she put off less energy, when she woke up. So they devised to keep her energy low. They'd give her old hard as coal beds to keep her restless, if she was happy with a day, they'd shout at her for any tiny mistake or fault even when it wasn't hers. Those parents hated her favorite things, like vibrant yellows, and gave her only greys and traditional purples for special occasions, not that they wouldn't make those purple items irritable. Best of all for the parents, all they knew was that if they had really wanted to beat down their little girl til she bled on the carpet, not fully knowing they already have, she would be in misery for weeks. They never gave her bruises, she never had evidence when waking up again. She was bullied at school for sleeping at her desk, and when it got physical, it was something her parents could taunt her for. She had a friend, but he'd demean everything she said of herself. She tried to hang herself once, but when she woke up, all she could do was cry. One day, one the rare occasion she was forced to be out on the schoolyard, kids were talking of a legend. The kids taunted Frisk, stating what she believed herself. "Nobody wants you, you should climb into Mount Ebott, so you'll never return". That day, she confided in her friend, of her "nightmares" and the thought of Mount Ebott may ending her for good. Her friend tried to sew doubt into her mind of this plan, in the end, only making her cry, and giving her more reason to see to it that she could die. In the dead of night, she only took a flashlight and her purple clothes up with her to that mountain. She entered a cave and found a deep hole. She stepped to it, stood with her back facing the drop, and plunged herself into the underground. It took her a while, but she woke up. She woke up. She woke up. She was upset, but her friend was right. She met a giggling flower. "Ah, another human. You seem different, but does that matter? Have fun in your grave!" Frisk smiled at the thought of dying. She walked the tunnels and carved out cave to find a floor of spikes. She tried to drop herself onto them, only for them to retract from underneath her. While getting up, she notice that only sets of retracting spikes are sharp, while the ones that were out were as dull as rocks. She marched on, growing tired, and falling asleep in the halls. When she woke, she was in an old used bed, it was remarkable compared to home. Getting out of bed, she left the room, and tried to leave the house. Approaching the downstairs door, she caught flame. Her nerves screamed from end to end in torent pain, her lungs prayed for oxygen only taking in the smoke and ash of her own body, blood and flesh. She tried and tried and burned to ash, she finally found the monster burning her flesh, admitted she wished to leave. Learning that the monster didn't want her to leave. The monster ran to the exit with Frisk hot on their tail. Screaming and crying, the monster attacked her, I shouldn't have to say, but she had died multiple times. She became exhausted, and moved without thought, with her only thoughts to be to improve her movements, before falling to the cold. The snow was biting her senses, even though she just got some sleep, she was exhausted. As if she was walking for days. A loud snap reminded Frisk of her bones. She dropped to her knees in the freezing snow, and drops thinking something broken. In the first time in a while, the girl had a real friend. The friend talked to her, he convinced her that she was ok, and knew a place where she could rest... sorry, my throats getting dry

Susie: Awww... It was just a little interesting

Kris: could be better if you extended it

Me: I literally don't have enough text space or patience to do that yet. Trust me, I've wanted to make this story whole for a while.

Lancer: Can she at least be a little more happy? I mean, she is a dream and-

Me: no, she's constantly weakened by negative influences, mainly her own thoughts after what her parents did to her. Her only friendly relationship with other humans is still one that undermines her own thoughts and feelings. Her only dream, her only hope, is to not be useless.

Ralsei: it's good... but I have a question. Why was she born a dream?

Me: Dreams and Nightmares used to share a universe, and even though they started to hate eachother doesn't mean they didn't mix. After a rift of magic, the worlds split, and Dreams became a recessive trait to Nightmares and vice versa. It became extremely unlikely, but there's still a chance in one in a billion.

Kris: Why are monsters separated from humans?

Me: the amount of magical power to create that rift was only created by the power of monsters. Humans feared if war were to break, they too could be thrown into oblivion. Seven mages forfeited their souls to bind monsters and whoever entered. Monsters realized that they couldn't break the spell, due to the power of the seven souls, even with their collective power... can I please stop talking?

Jevil: How does she come back after dying?

Susie: When does she murder people?

Me: After blending her soul, Susie. She comes back because dreams were extremely persistent, practically a bunch of immortals. Nightmares knew this when they shared a universe, but as I said, they had a few generations and forgot. The only thing that can truly kill a dream is when they have no dream for themselves.
