[crystallizedday]

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN OUTDATED VERSION OF THE DOAI CD AU. I WILL GET TO WRITING UP THE NEW ONE EVENTUALLY ONCE I HAVE ILLUSTRATED SOME NEW DETAILS & SUCH.

So…

I made a new AU.

Simply calling this the DOAI CD AU cause that’s how a lot of my AUs are.

So here’s the rundown of the AU I have so far.

Story-wise, Winfrey gets captured by Dr. Lankmann & is used for his asylum. Clyde eventually finds where its partner is, but hesitates to simply charge in & find them with all the security precautions that have clearly been put in place for the lil guy. Ultimately, Clyde decides to do a lil sneaky & surrender itself, knowing it’ll be kept alive for testing purposes.

Once its inside, it finds the perfect time to break out of its confinements to go find Winfrey.

Without spoiling too much since I wanna actually WRITE OUT what happens, all I will tell you all is that Clyde finds Winfrey & escapes with the big guy. With Clyde keeping them on track & pushing them forward to ensure both of their escape, Winfrey doesn’t consume too many people after the incident, pretty much only killing any security that got in their way. Dr. Lankmann is also kept alive, which will quickly become a problem for the both of them once they escape.

After fleeing the asylum, both Veldigun later discover that their existence is becoming increasingly known across the country, thus forcing them to flee from place to place to avoid capture &/or potential death (because even if they COULDN’T die via bullets, neither of them would want the other to take that chance). They find themselves traveling all across the country in a seemingly endless chase from the authorities. Despite this potentially being their new life now, they are simply glad to have each other throughout it.

Additionally, because Winfrey was (mostly) unaffected after escaping the asylum, there was no need for their clothing to be stitched to them directly. Instead, Clyde decides to make Winfrey something a lot more comfortable to wear that can easily be taken off, just like its own orange onesie. This is why Winfrey’s outfit looks so different in the image from earlier.

AH!

As for how these fuckin goobers are written, it goes a lil something like this…

Clyde: Despite the circumstances, Clyde is often quite chirpy & is often the one seen with a smile on its face. It is constantly moving in place, rarely ever standing still. It also tends to find fascination in certain small things, often trinkets & other human junk. It came across the LEGENDARY Captain Quackers during one of its scavenges for said trinkets, & is by far the most prized piece of man-made items it has ever collected.

Despite how adorably silly this version of Clyde is, it is STILL scarily clever. It can quickly formulate a plan & execute it almost flawlessly, sometimes even using some of its various trinkets as a part of said plan (such as a distraction). While it usually id not all that afraid of direct confrontation, under dire circumstances, it will remain in the shadows & carefully think through its actions.

Winfrey: Even when the two are completely safe, Winfrey cannot help but feel concerned, perhaps even a bit paranoid. Everything they do for the both of them, Winfrey does it with care & caution. They used to be so fascinated with the creativity of humans, but after the Asylum incident, all they care about is keeping themselves & Clyde (mostly Clyde) safe. Although, this does not stop them from occasionally indulging themselves by singing a tune every now and again or even playing a little song if Clyde ever finds them an instrument (mainly the violin, of course).

While they are usually quite cautious with their actions, they WILL resort to rampaging their way through a problem if the situation is dire enough. They certainly have the strength to do so at any time, but they will most of the time second guess such a method if it could result in putting themselves or Clyde in unnecessary danger. However, if Clyde is already in danger, that second-guessing goes completely out the window. If it ever came down to the two of them, they would want Clyde to be safe over themselves (& vice versa, which often leads to a few points of conflict).

Before the asylum incident, Winfrey was a LOT more upbeat & playful while Clyde was just a little bit more serious & focused. While Clyde is content being far more energetic & easy going than it used to be, it feels guilty for Winfrey losing a lot of their bouncy personality from the good ol’ days & will repeatedly try to get Winfrey to let themselves enjoy life again. While Winfrey just wants to keep Clyde safe, all Clyde wants is to help Winfrey heal from the ten years of torment that scarred them. However, Clyde has no idea JUST how much that decade has affected Winfrey & how tough it will be for them to feel fully comfortable again…

The other Veldigun ALSO are characterized differently, but I have not fleshed them out all that much yet. Regardless, here is what I have so far.

Klaus: All he cares about is seeing others suffer, not because he feels wronged in any way, but because it genuinely feels euphoric to him. Rarely will he ever eat his victims & only does so when he starts showing signs of starvation. His cruel demeanor also extends to his relationship with his supposed partner Jack, who he often abuses if things do not go his way or if Jack even slightly gets on his nerves. Despite Jack being essential to Klaus, he does not care about his Jack-in-the-box partner in the slightest. If anything, Jack’s death would simply be an annoyance to him.

Jack: Everything is just so damn funny to them, but not in a sadistic way like their partner is. They genuinely cannot help but laugh whenever something even POTENTIALLY humorous occurs, much to Klaus’ displeasure. Despite how their partner treats them, Jack is happy to be used as a living murder weapon. They feel content with their only purpose being to help Klaus. They are well aware of how poorly they are being treated but feels that abandoning Klaus will leave Jack without a purpose, & is too fearful of that reality to take that chance. In other words, they just laugh off the idea.

Both Klaus & Jack have been traveling across the country even before what happened at the Lankmann asylum, but the Veldiguns’ revealed existence has only made it harder for Klaus & Jack to stick around too long. Klaus absolutely blames Clyde & Winfrey for this, & would not be shy of giving them a piece of his mind if they ever crossed paths.

Simon & the Flock: Both live at an abandoned farm somewhere in the country, feeding purely off of the wildlife that would be found there. This is due to Simon having consumed the people that once resided at this residence, gaining empathy for humans & swearing off of ever consuming another human mind ever again. The Flock follows this vow, not because Simon asked it to, but because it understands. Both Veldigun can vividly understand each other without ever uttering a single phrase or gesture. Simon can rarely ever be heard speaking because of this. The two do not bother with the other Veldigun or escaping the authorities. Whatever happens, they will remain pacifistic toward human life & show kindness to others, even to their own detriment.

As for Lankmann…

Well, you’ll just have to wait & see for yourself, won’t you? ;)

Well, that’s just about it for now! Hope y’all like what this AU provides so far!

thinking about dr williams

cw for mentions of manipulation

in volume 1 alex didnt strike me as a particularly violent individual. he doesn’t ever raise his voice iirc and he is always calm, even when he’s angry. doctor williams is the same

he doesn’t keep you in line with fear unless he has to. it’s always his last resort. he will manipulate you into playing nice.

he will say that he’s one of few who truly care. that without his help, you will grow sicker and sicker. he sweet talks his way into the patients mind and uses false promises to keep them in check. he will only ever raise his voice if he is truly, genuinely *furious*.

#i’m normal i swear #<— lie #does this make sense #anyway i like swap aus that keep the og personality somewhat intact #dr williams is also much more lenient when it comes to mistakes #dr lankmann strikes me as the type of guy who would lose his shit over a mistake #very strict boss #williams however is like bob ross. happy little accidents #doai #dreams of an insomniac #pastraspec #pastra #alex williams doai #swap au #roleswap au #the williams foundation au

[arkaix]

Good evening to the poor unfortunate souls who will see this post because today it is LANKMANN HEADCANONS day

thanks to this post in particular by @havoc-bloom go see it immediately what are you still doing here

Anyway. Every Veldigun has some kind of animal features, and yea Lankmann is not one but he's mimicking the form of what one could look like, and personally I've always associated Arg Lankmann (not dr. Lankmann) with sea creatures. Why?

First of all, for one of Lankmann's key features that the other Pastra characters don't have:

a SECOND Set of RETRACTABLE glowing red teeth. My dude really wants to remind us he's a predator. You know who else has this feature? Mostly sea creatures, the prime example being the moray. He even looks somewhat like one with his yellow skin when he dislocates his entire jaw just to smile.

And also I mean look at this motherfucker. This is the Zebra moray eel and could be Lankmann's cousin.

Other sea creatures I associate him with are the Yellow-lipped sea krait and the Mimic octopus. The first for obivious reasons, it's a sea snake with the iconic black & yellow stripes (which by the way is one of the most venomous snakes in the world) ; the second in a more simbolic way:

the ARG Lankmann is technically a creature who's mimicking the design of Dr Lankmann's hallucination form from the old DOAI lore. So yeah mimic behavior

has multiple names picked from Pastra's previous unfinished ARGs and and is using them as his own without permission, with Lankmann being the most used one. So yeah still mimic behavior

his body proportions are all over the place. Like you cannot find 2 sprites of his that have the same body shape, it's like he's a black blob that can stretch and squash at will, unlike Clyde and Simon's sprites who are much more proportioned. One could say that's standard veldigun behavior but as we established he's not a real veldigun

small horns above their eyes ewe I've seen some people draw Lankmann with small horns

tentacular hands. Do I need to say more

Yes I know Lankmann's form was the product of his features and mask distorted by Winfrey's collective hallucination and to understand his real inspirations one should analize Winfrey's mind, this is just fun headcanons.

So yeah, Vincent Network Lankmann with octopus/snake/moray inspo OwO

#if yall disagree with me it's ok I haven't looked that deep into it #and I'd love to know others' headcanons ewe #lankmann #pastra #veldigun #pastraspec #arkaix talks #I'm rambling at this point don't take me seriously

[shattered-lazuli]

Some random Lankmann headcanons!!

(cuz I've posted these a while ago on twt, so might as well share them here)

I am so incredibly normal about him <3

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

He wouldn't really be a dog nor a cat person, he'd be a lizard person. If he was to have one as pet, it'd be a chameleon

He doesn't like suits (why? cuz it's ironic lol)

He cannot handle spicy food, his limit is fucking black pepper

Since his head is literally an empty hole, he uses it to hide stuff he steals, like snacks, pens or whatever else from Pastra

He analizes the hell out of stories, be it books, movies or whatever, and he loves symbolism

I don't think he's aware of Swankmann's existence. He'll essencially blackout, Swank will do whatever he gotta do for the buck, and Lankmann will just wake up confused on what even happened

His favorite song is Ruler of Everything

He's got a deep hatred for Phil after he destroyed the wall, but he can't actually show it, so he just acts really passive-agressive with him

He doesn't have a favorite type of game, but he hates rhythm games (look at his hands)

He probably giggles and kicks his feet when he sees fanart of himself

WILL WOOD FAN (DR. SUNSHINE IS LITERALLU HI-

Lankmann is really annoying with cleaning. On one hand, he doesn't ruin the house as a roommate. On the other, he'll bother you about a single dirty plate in the sink

Mf sleeps once a week, but whenever he does, you will not wake up his ass, he actually looks dead

He'll go to fast-food places at the most ungodly hours to eat and chat with the cashiers. Both him and the minimun-wage workers rant about their landlords lol

He probably feels a bit self conscious about his height. Like, in the videos, he makes himself look like this big creature, when he's 5'5"

He's actually ordered a Clyde plushie, his purposes are unknown

Lankmann absolutely would fall for updog and deez nuts jokes

That's all I got. If you actually read this whole thing, wow

#lankmann #pastra #pastraspec #sorry #the autism is too strong #he's just my pathetic lil man

Yes. Dr. Herbert “my daddy makes me rich enough that the government cannot touch me” Lankmann is my babygirliest babygirl and I will stand by that until my blood becomes stardust once more.

Klaus Kruger

“Wanna see my head come off?”

Klaus goes by he/him pronouns. He had always been a disturbed child, crushing rats and hitting dogs, so after the discovery of his first human kill, a 3 year old named Danny, no one was that surprised. Admitted by his father, Officer Kruger, into the asylum at 16, Klaus hasn’t seen improvement to his behavior or fears. In his room shared with Jack and Megan, he hides things such as food as if scared that staff would forget to feed him. He is also deathly terrified of birds for an unknown reason. Klaus is a burden to everyone at the asylum, and Dr. Lankmann can’t wait to be rid of him.

Okie dokie!

So what initially started out as a joke character I made in relation to Pastra’s midwife voice kind of spiraled into a full blown AU, & I think these designs & concepts are too cool to keep away from the public eye.

Soooooo

Say hello to the DOAI Trickster AU!

Here’s the rundown:

Instead of using hallucinations & intimidation to claim their victims, Veldiguns instead have shapeshifted themselves to become more approachable to lure their intrigued victims to their demise.

Clyde & Winfrey are the most notorious of the Veldiguns, primarily targeting young adults using charm & flattery, often bringing their victims into the woods as to not get caught.

While one will most often pursue a target on their own, the other tends to linger nearby & keep an eye on their partner to keep them out of any potential danger.

The two deeply care about each other, their relationship being blatantly romantic, sometimes to a cheesy degree. Even so, these two should NOT be underminded strength-wise as they are just as strong & sometimes JUST as brutal as their canon counterparts. Human life means nothing to them, but they highly appreciate their customs & culture to the point where they even participate in some of those customs just for fun.

Klaus & Jack are QUITE different as they target young children, especially in any kind of birthday scenario. One common method Klaus uses to take down a target is by offering the chosen child a large “present”, luring them out of public view before allowing Jack to spring out of the box & chomp down on the victim.

Klaus treats Jack more like a tool rather than a partner, even taking apart Jack in his free time just because he finds the activity satisfying. He will rip Jack apart & fix him up again & again, mangling him & ruining his outer shell every time Klaus messes with him. Jack rarely ever objects, not wanting to anger the person that is able to feed him efficiently.

& finally…

Simon & the Flock are not necessarily two separate entities, at least not anymore. At some point, the two’s minds intertwined & consider themselves as one whole being. They prefer to be called the Reaper.

The Reaper, who cherishes human life, chooses to target much older humans who are about to die, wanting to give these people a comfortable death. The Reaper will often talk to the humans they take, wanting the people they target to accept their inevitable fate while they still can.

Of course, while they prefer to target the dying elderly, the Reaper will sometimes do the same for any human in other age ranges if that particular human does not have much time to live. Additionally, family pets are also taken by the Reaper, especially cherished pets that were loved & well taken care of. Of course, these two occurrences are extremely rare.

… & of course.

There’s Dr. Lankmann.

I don’t have much for him at the moment, but as of now, he is a monster hunter who is on a mission to eradicate EVERY SINGLE Veldigun he can, even the Reaper.

Everyone around him thinks he’s a mad man for believing these creatures even exist, but he doesn’t care. He’s GOING to hunt these FREAKS down & become the hero he so desperately desires to be.

No matter the cost.

… but I’m too lazy to design him at the moment, so uh… that’s all you get JWIWKEKEOEKW

Anyway, that’s all I got for now! Hope y’all enjoy this kooky AU of mine!

Upon your return

Fandom: Dreams Of An Insomniac

Genre: hurt/comfort

TW: monster abuse >:[

Characters: Winfrey, Clyde, Dr Lankmann

The moment Winfrey was captured, Clyde went to search for him. As they finally reunite, there's still small problems.

This is filled with headcanons and things inspired by @crystallizedday 's Ao3 fanfic called "Breaking Out" (it's very good, go read it y'all) (also hope you don't mind me pinging you CD-)

================

The monster was wrecking havoc.

Red lights flashed throughout the building, an alarm blaring alongside them. The asylum staff were panicking, the patients screaming and trashing in their rooms.

Clyde was running around the facility, searching. He was close, he knew it. He felt it.

People tried to stop him. Tried shooting. A roar rang out, shaking the walls, knocking people off their feet. He persisted.

He continuously burst through every set of doors, leaving glass shards on the floor. Nobody else could cross their path.

Finally, the last thing keeping him from their partner was a set of titanium doors. They banged and scratched against the metal in an attempt to break it, but...

"It's futile."

A figure stood right behind him. His head was adorned by a top hat and a menacing, unforgettable smile. He was in a lab coat with a name tag, "Dr Lankmann".

"You can't get inside unless you know the code." The man explained, pointing to the number pad. Clyde was getting angrier by the second. "I'm the only one who knows it. You can kill me, but then you won't get to your dear dear friend. Either that, or we can bargain."

"Fine," Clyde spat out. "What do you want?"

"Information. Simply information. I'll ask you three questions, you answer, and then I'll tell you the code." Dr Lankmann's smile widened.

"Well then, ask away."

"Firstly, how did you appear on earth?"

"I don't know. One day we just were here. I know that our god, Six created us."

"Six? Huh... Okay, secondly, to what extent can you modify your own bodies?"

"It depends. Our limbs can go about two meters longer, and the rest is fully dependent on the individual. What else?"

"What happens to the minds you eat?"

"They vanish after some time, but we can use the information from them." The answer seemed to satisfy the doctor. "Now, give me the code." Clyde demanded.

"It's-" he got cut off by a sharp pain going straight through his left lung. He slowly looked down to see a yellow and black striped tail piercing his chest. He coughed up blood. "But... The code..."

"Oh, I'll know it in a minute."

"Why..."

Clyde grinned wide.

"Revenge. You were so fun to play with, humans are so dense." With those words, he devoured the man's mind, quickly finding the code in his memories. He entered it into the pad and the door opened.

There Winfrey was. His limbs and body attached to the wall by multiple shackles. He looked so exhausted. Clyde hurriedly went to get off the cuffs, managing to pick the locks with his claws. There was something on Winfrey's neck that didn't bind him, Clyde shrugged it off for the moment. The second he was free, Winfrey fell to the floor heavily.

"Winfrey! Get up, please! We need to get out of here!" The orange monster exclaimed in a rush. His partner sluggishly got up and started slowly walking to the exit of the chamber. With time, he began running through the halls, Clyde in front of him, leading them both out. People screamed at them in terror. Winfrey swiped at some of them in anger with a roar, but then winced, Clyde looking worriedly. They devoured some of the people's minds and got even more determined to leave.

At last, they found themselves in a forest near the facility. That's when they stopped.

Winfrey sat on the forest bedding, tired from the events. Clyde sat right next. He hugged their partner, at which the bigger flinched a little.

"Oh dear... Winfrey... What have they done to you...?"

Winfrey just hummed in pain and anger. He then winced again, alarming Clyde. At that moment he noticed the device on Winfrey's neck, the one he disregarded before. It was a shock collar.

They managed to get it off, and at that moment Winfrey truly relaxed. He was really free.

He hugged Clyde. The orange monster smiled and returned the gesture.

He closed their eyes, and suddenly Lankmann's memories flashed in his mind. Memories filled with hurting others, hurting their partner. Their grip tightened around Winfrey. Slowly, tears formed in his eyes. A few sobs left Clyde as he gripped onto their partner. He cried. Tears of relief, but also pain. Tears of regret.

"Hey, Clyde... It's okay... I'm here now..." The bigger tried to comfort him.

"I-I know... And I'm happy but... It shouldn't have happened...." Clyde sobbed further.

"Humans are unpredictable. We couldn't have known they found our location. It's not your fault," Winfrey assured.

"B-but-!"

"Shhhh..." He wiped the smaller's cheek. "It is not your fault."

Clyde hiccuped and slowly nodded.

"I-I found us a n-new lair... We should go there..."

"Yeah, let's go."

They ventured further into the forest. After a longer while of travel, they arrived at an abandoned wooden house. It was pretty small, but just big enough to fit the two.

Upon entering, Winfrey concluded it used to be a woodsman's home. It was filled a bit with trash, but mostly a few horn trophies. He also noticed his violin and a few trinkets from their previous lair.

"Welcome to our new home!" Clyde said with a weak smile.

"Where's the nest?"

The orange monster's smile dropped further.

"Well... I just used the bed, since a nest is something you share with another..."

"Give me a minute then." Winfrey ran out and gathered a few branches. He returned and walked towards the bed. He set the branches on the floor, grabbed the mattress, and began arranging the nest. The moment he was finished, he sat in the middle with a welcoming smile.

Clyde immediately leaped into it, cuddling Winfrey close.

"Now this is home."
