Warning! Descriptions of decomposition!

I can't stop thinking, about chip jrwi being literally undead. this will be the last post about it today I swear.

Now that chip is undead. Does he like... rot? Are bugs just gonna start following him? Like what level of decomposition are we talking about. Are his insides just gonna become like goop? Is he gonna start losing (or having different pigmentation in his) hair or nails? Are his eyes gonna get that clouded dead look? Would he end up like the hollowed we saw in ep 103-105 ish? I don't think the arachnid pirates were described as "rotted." But would it be different for a human? Obviously he's not just gonna fall to pieces (hopefully) but I wonder what will change in his appearance over time. I have so many questions and I curious to see what the answers are...

Ok so I ran out of space in the tags, so I'm gonna write my thoughts in a more intelligible, streamlined fashion that will hopefully be easier to follow than my original brain scramble. I am an absolute Phantom of the Opera FIEND, so if you're interested in my word vomit, please keep reading after the cut. This might be a long one

Gene

So, for those of you who aren't familiar with the story of The Phantom of the Opera, the Phantom (aka Erik in the books, which is just easier to type out quickly) is largely deemed horrifying for his willingness to cause suffering in the name of his obsessive infatuation with a young soprano named Christine. He is so enthralled by her beauty and her voice, but because of the way he was treated due to his deformity, feels that she would never love him in return. So, he does what any rational person in their right mind would do and kidnaps her (several times), threatens her, forces her to carry out a "pretend" engagement and cut off her relationship with the actual man she loves, Raoul (we'll get to him later), tortures and murders a bunch of civilians and opera house employees, and of course, makes attempts on Raoul's life and subjects him to psychological torment in his not-so-sexy torture dungeon made of smoke and mirrors.

So how does this relate to Gene? Well, if we consider MCD Gene, he actually fits quite well.

Gene became a shadow knight after he was executed in his village. Why was he executed? Well, he let his infatuation with a beautiful woman get the better of him, going to such lengths as to force her to return his affections with magic, effectively stripping her of her autonomy for his own selfish desires.

He also, especially as a shadow knight, leans into the whole torture aspect of the Phantom as well. The entirety of Laurance's Nether arc is heavily implied, if not explicitly stated to have been spearheaded and led by Gene, who would relentlessly torture him over the course of his shadow knight transformation.

Laurance

So, I've already made my point that Gene would make the better Erik candidate in a PotO AU, so why bring up Laurance? That is because I personally believe that while he might not be Phantom material, he certainly fits into Raoul's shoes quite well (I told you we'd get to him)

So, aside from being tortured by Erik, what does Raoul bring to the table that Laurance would be a good fit for? Raoul is a lover. He's the charming, hopeful, romantic second son of a noble family, about to be sent off as a military officer. He is kind, affectionate, and fiercely protective, but not infallible to the corruption of pride, impulsivity, and rage, making him somewhat susceptible to Erik's psychological torture. But he is able to overcome, because in the end of it all, he is a lover, and he wants to protect Christine.

Let's cover the similarities with Laurance, shall we? He's the adoptive son of the lord of Metelli, and becomes the head guard of Metelli, later becoming one of Aphmau's personal retainers (noble? Check. Military officer/fighter? Check.) He also puts out this suave and charming air, especially with the ladies. But the similarity that counts the most imho is his proclivity to love and HOW that affects him.

Yes, Laurance is a flirt. One might call him a manwhore (sorry bud), or at the very least, that he gives off that vibe, especially at the beginning. But Laurance is, above all, loyal (for the sake of simplicity, I'm leaving out his character assassination in season 3 bc it really was SO out of character, and the series went on hiatus before we ever saw it get resolved), especially when it comes to the people he loves.

He got trapped in the Nether because of his love for his sister and his soft spot for Castor. Laurance (in canon (I think? I haven't seen that ep in a hot minute, so forgive me if I'mwrong)) says that it's his love for Aphmau that keeps him sane. While I personally don't know if that's reasonable considering they didn't know each other very well at the time, and think that it was probably more thoughts of Castor and Cadenza that helped him through, I can't disregard the time where his affections for Aphmau DID put him in a precarious position with his sanity and morality, and then brought him back to see reason soon after:

The werewolf arranged marriage arc. Yep. He fucking massacred an entire royal court of werewolves over the idea of Aphmau being forced to marry without her consent. The idea of her autonomy being stripped from her was enough to send him into a white-hot shadow knight rage. In the same vein, it was Aphmau and his love for her that brought him clarity again. She brought him back to earth. She brought back his humanity.

To be fair, this idea would really only work with Aphmau in the place of Christine Daae if we were going off of canon, especially MCD canon. (If we had Laurance as Gene's foil and Raoul's stand-in for the AU, but I like to think it could work

Anyway, thank you to those who read this entire thing. Idk what possessed you to make you willing to hear this entire yap session about a Gothic horror novel/1980s mega musical AU for a weird ass minecraft roleplay from 2015, but I appreciate you. Also thank you op for sharing this poll, bc I shared so many thoughts I didn't even know I had until now

nights at the hushed honeybee 🐝

Lieutenant MacTavish confiscated your suggestive, racy photo when your then-boyfriend was waving it around, showing all his army buddies. If he then studied your picture and used it as wanking material for the next year, complete with a few domestic fantasies, that was nobody's business but his own; he wasn't hurting anyone. The picture was tucked away in a drawer, completely forgotten about until the day he came back from deployment as a captain with a nasty bullet graze and spotty memory.

Cleaning out his desk, he found your photo again. He couldn't remember your name but he knew what you sounded like moaning his name. He didn't remember where you'd met but he knew he slipped a ring on your finger the night you both went out searching for the best garlic bread in the city. He wasn't sure if you had family but he knew what the silken clench of your cunt felt like around his fingers and cock.

With all his unexpected free-time maybe he should track down his wayward wife. It had been too long since he'd seen you and he wasn't one to let things slip through his fingers. Whatever caused your separation would be dealt with, he wasn't going to lose you again.

is possessed by an evil spirit for a moment and i can only think abt brother's best friend soap (heavily inspired by @ceilidho's ask here)

Idk man something about soap having always been a little bit weird with u. he's been friends with ur brother for years, back to when you were teenagers. He's only a year older but you felt the gulf of that gap, exaggerated when he shot up, puberty like a tool he used just to tower over u and make u uncomfortable

Growing up with him as a perpetual shadow, always a little bit too close, always a little bit too intense. Your parents shrug it off when u complain about it, telling u that he just likes u and u could be nicer to him about it, poor guy. Ur brother calls u stuck up when u snub soap, hissing at u to stop embarrassing him when ur rude when johnny tries to give u his seat on the couch where they're playing on their console

only you know that he's only offering u a seat so that he can press in close, a hulking mass in the corner of your eye as hot breath hits the side of ur face while he tries to look down ur shirt. constantly trying to dodge his grabby hands that grip ur exposed thighs or smooth over ur hips - pupils blown out when his hands swallow up the expanse of your skin

u snap at one point and tell him that he disgusts u, that ur not into him at all. he goes red in the face, growling that you've been leading him on, that ur playing games with his head (he is assuming u wearing a blue bra after he yanked ur turtleneck up was to match his eyes, even tho he shouldn't have seen it in the first place)

u end up with ur panties around ur knees as he forces u to stroke his cock, panting into ur throat as u 'make apologies' to him. he forgives u btw, he knows that u have to act this way, that ur brother would kill him if he knew. makes it seem like ur partners in crime, in this together even with his hand manacled around ur wrist to stroke him off

it gets worse after he enlists, and u don't see him for weeks or months. he gets pent up, barely putting a show on for everyone before he's dragging u off slick mouth on urs until there's spittle dribbling down ur chin, whining for u to please let him see his pretty girl (he's talking abt ur pussy), already 2 knuckles deep so ur wondering why he's even asking in the first place

and now he's a hero to everyone else. stuck in the bind of him being the in-love teenager to the kind-hearted man that is risking his life for everyone, do you have to be so cruel to him?

u wonder why, face pressed into the pillows of ur childhood bedroom as he hikes ur ass into the air to rut into u hard and fast

u do what u always do, hissing and spitting at him until he finally gets his way and ur back bows as he barely pauses through ur orgasm as he chases his own. he knows that u have to put the show on, lovey, but he's waiting in the backwing for u. partners in crime right?

do u think about me on our anniversary? i do

[theactualsunshinechild]

Dan Heng: "Okay, no. Conversation can wait, you smell like gunpowder and blood, go take a bath."

Boothill: "A bath?"

Dan Heng: "Yes, a shower isn't enough, you need a bath. When's the last time you had one anyway?"

Boothill, counting on his fingers: "Uhhhhhhhh... four.. five? Five."

Dan Heng, apprehensively: "Five what? Hours?"

Boothill: "..."

Dan Heng: "DAYS?"

Boothill: "..........years."

Dan Heng, visibly shaking: "YEARS?!"

Boothill: "Hey, don't give me that! Look at me, this fudging body wasn't exactly made for baths, okay? I usually just put myself through the car wash."

Dan Heng takes him apart and sanitizes each individual component that he can, oils joints, dusts the delicate electrical bits with an air compressor, and Boothill is just laying there like:

"I gotta be honest with ya, partner, this isn't quite how I wanted you inside me, but this sure is forking nice."

(Dan Heng immediately takes his voice box out in embarrassment.)
