Honestly debating if Jon would have encountered a dream weaver or a false artifact, while dream weaver definitely hits the nail on the head for mr. spider i feel like false artifact would fit Jonâs actual EXPERIENCE/encounter better. Actually i could mix BOTH of them. The false artifact would still be a snare that leads to a âmissing kidâ but itâd instead lead Jon to Mr. Spider, who was in fact a dream weaver left starving and trapped in an abandoned home ooo. Jon wouldnt stay missing tho, which kinda diverges a tad from HSH, but i still rather like the idea.
Also in general for the AU i did consider beholding or buried (HSHâs storyline kinda fits it WELL lol), but i also am thinking about extinction instead?? Maybe spiral, but the idea of introducing wholly unnatural pests as something totally normal and typical, especially if at a slower rate that makes it feel like a live updating catalogue, feels a bit like âhorrible emerging replacementsâ for pests (esp in the game where nearly ALL later reports arent natural) that extinction kinda embodies. I think beholding WOULDVE worked if it wasnt so focused on âwatch dont actâ,,, picking up peopleâs âstatementsâ but the help hotline aspect is a bit too misaligned for me.
If i fuckign brainrot myself over this im gonna be so mad
Honestly,,, once i grind thru my fucking finals i might actually make artwork or SMTH for this other than just rambling textposts LOL
Thinking so hard abt a Magpod (more TMA but TMagP DEFINITELY fits) x Home Safety Hotline cross,,,
Jon 2 days into his job going head-in-hands once he gains access to the âconfidential pestsâ ((heâd STILL keep up his skeptic act too))
Honestly wonder what Jane prentiss would be,,, i feel like Reanimatedâs description matches her to a T âmay carry parasites, violent to homeowners, incredibly adept at /hiding and waiting for vulnerable moments/â
His Season 2 paranoia does NOT trust Martinâs tea to not attract tea sprites, heâd throw a FIT
Jon would see the catalogue as a reverse hitlist of all the mfs after him
Oh god,,, mirror nymphâd Sasha?
Season 3 The Admiral gets unicorn fungus and Jon is awkwardly trying to ignore it,, also Jon regularly checking if Admiral gets pookaâd :(
Oooo Jon encountering a dream weaver instead of Mr. Spider?
Not sure if iâd prefer a (probably expanded) HSH-only catalogue, a Smirke-only catalogue (of avatars ig? And/or the non-human phenomena?), or maybe a mix of both?
But also,,,, while i mainly first thought abt this with archives, protocol is kinda just BUILT for HSH aint it? Got the whole set-up already: get unsettling recount of experience (from old ass PC, would be fun with a Freddieâs haunted ass giving Sam early-access to info he wasnt meant to have,,), categorize incident report into your spooky filing system. Would just change it to a hotline and actually HELP them bitches. (The helping advice is âconsider therapyâ)
If i had any free time (or yknow, done any of my own writing past 1 middle school assignment,,, guess i could draw but thinking of drawing a comic makes me wanna invert) to actually develop this iâd be so powerful, id be so fucking annoying about it
