This question is a little weird, but it's plagued my mind for some reason: what would the current rrff crew do if someone randomly bit them?

Wow, this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a very long time, and I'm so sorry for taking this long to finally get to it, anon. I thought it over and, well, here are your answers!

Time: he would use future vision to know when to dodge. Bite evaded, lol.

Memory: when he gets bitten, he’d just look at that person for a long second, refusing to blink because he has no idea what to do in this situation, before finally saying, “...can I help you?”

Illusion: he would immediately scream and try to get away as soon as possible.

Elemental: he would be annoyed because saliva. He doesn’t like that Time successfully evaded while he didn’t. He’d try to get away from the person to cope with his wounded pride. But later, curiosity gets the better of him and he returns to that person to ask, "is this some language that’s only expressed through biting?"

Galaxy: he would scream, "NO. DON’T EAT ME. TRUST ME, I TASTE HORRIBLE." Bonus: assuming Illusion is still programmed to always help Galaxy, Illusion also screams, "YES, HE’S RIGHT. I know your world is obsessed with the galaxy aesthetic, to the point that you guys make galaxy cakes, but you were probably lied to about how tasty the galaxy is!"

Sabre: "No! How many times do I have to go over this?! Just because I dress like a chicken doesn’t mean that I taste like chicken!" (shoutout to Purple Steve)

Void: he would throw a fit, and then destroy that person.

Alex: honestly, being the powerful goddess she is, she wouldn't even feel the bite. She knows that someone is near, but she’s assuming that they just wanted to hug her, and she decided, "maybe this person just really needs the hug. I’ll let them have it." And when other people start freaking out, she looks to her side and goes like, "omg, they’re biting me?! What does that mean?!"

Guardian: he’d get so worried. "Are my wings broken? Did I get an infection? Will it spread to the Steves when I go back to the Spirit World?" So he’d try to leave as soon as possible to assess the damage, and then walk around and ask, "has anyone else been bitten and need medical attention?"

Red Leader: "...can you do that again, but on that guy this time?" [points at Illusion] "And more furiously?"

Green Steve: he would NOPE on out of there.

Overseer: he would make a sheep-like cry. He may have a flashback to the times he was a sheep and had to worry about so wolves wanting to eat him.

The Colors: no one can bite them. But they see the others getting bitten and find the whole situation delightful. Origin Beast appreciates the hypothetical random biter.

Narrator: he would never allow someone to bit him. He would just conveniently have a chew toy to give to the person to divert to bite away from him.

...Am I allowed to brag that RRFF Chapter 36 predicted Steve Legend’s clickbait thumbnail for Episode 42?

IT'S 2/21/2021.

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF AROMANTIC SPECTRUM AWARENESS WEEK.

ASAW. ASAW. ASAW. WOOOOOOOOO

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! If you're on the aromantic spectrum, have an absolutely awesome week! If you're an aro ally, also have an absolutely awesome week. If you're able to, take the time to listen to aro stories, learn more about the community, or boost aro voices to celebrate the week!

I'm starting this week by drawing my two favorite aro bois and BroTP from my chaotic fanfic that has extreme swings between being wholesome and being angsty.

Here's a unique idea, what if memory steve AND the demon steve returned in the illusion saga

Oooh, fun fact: while I was brainstorming ideas for RRFF, I was considering to have Demon Steve return to the Overworld with Memory Steve! I ended up scrapping the idea quickly because I knew giving Demon Steve a bigger role would over-complicate the plot and get in the way of what I really wanted to write (Memory and Illusion's growing friendship, lol)

Anyways, onto your question, anon.

I imagine that Sabre will encounter Memory and Demon at different times, and it's gonna make him super tired and stressed.

Let's fast forward to Sabre breaking Alex free from Illusion's control, where Alex will have to pretend to be loyal to Illusion to keep Sabre safe and beg Illusion for a task to do. In this AU, Illusion will probably order Alex to confront both Memory and Demon to prove she can be useful.

Now, Memory and Demon are both like machines that won't stop chasing you. They are difficult to evade, and even more difficult to trap or damage. So I bet that Sabre would devise an interesting plan to capture both Memory and Demon: he would trick Memory and Demon to run into each other, locking them both into a fight where neither of them can escape each other. In a way, this would be a twisted callback to one of Sabre's first Steve videos where he made Red Steve and Green Steve meet each other.

The rest of the Illusion arc would continue as is, with Memory and Demon constantly fighting each other in the background. But, because I (and Sabre) believe that Memory is stronger than Demon Steve, Memory would eventually win the fight. I think Memory will escape with Demon Steve under his control.

I believe Illusion/Reality in the canon storyline wanted to make an army of Demon Steves, but Memory having control of the only known Demon Steve would be a huge obstacle to both Illusion/Reality and the heroes! I think Memory would be pretty mad that Sabre forced him to fight Demon Steve for days/weeks and would want even more revenge now.

***

But if Illusion first found Memory and convinced him to work with him (like RRFF), there would probably be a different storyline.

Honestly, I'm not sure how this AU would go if it had an RRFF-like storyline-but-with-Demon-Steve. Though if Illusion/Reality still wanted to create an army of Demon Steves, he would probably ask Memory to help build that army, knowing that Memory is powerful enough to take on a Demon Steve.

Thank you for the ask!
