You know what, today is a great day to share my favorite shitpost AU for Octopath 2. It's kind of inspired by my favorite joke/bit about Ori from taoofshigeru's fic linked here

My stupid idea under the cut.

Everything is the same but Hikari's inner darkness acts up really early around the other travelers, causing him to lose control and lash out. Before anyone gets hurt however, Castti just picks his ass up with a single hand and choke-slams him into the ground before administering some chloroform-esque drug to knock his ass out.

While he's unconscious he has a confrontation with Shadow Hikari who's wide eyed and going "Who the fuck was that????" After a conversation, both Hikari's realize they are head over heals for our favorite apothecary, Hikari for her kind soul and willingness to endanger herself without hesitation to aid others and Shadow Hikari in the "Step on me Axe Mommy" kinda way. When he wakes up he is forced to explain to the other travelers and while they're now wary of him they still trust him.

The rest of the game plays out with Shadow Hikari doing everything in his power to take over Hikari just to flirt with her ~~ask her to sit on his face~~ and calling Hikari a coward for not telling Castti how they feel. The rest of the party, Castti included, start to notice that something is different because Hikari doesn't seem to really be struggling to control his Shadow self in battle as much. It only ever seems to happen around a certain apothecary and usually leaves Hikari a little more flustered than scared/mentally exhausted. A few of the travelers catch on to what's up, namely Temenos and Throne and decide to absolutely make Hikari suffer for it/try to wingman/woman in their absolute little shit ways.

Surprisingly, Castti has know for quite a while and is honestly just flattered since, in her words, "Someone as plain and unattractive as me catching the eye of the graceful and noble Prince of Ku would never happen" (Castti says while wiping the blood off of her hands, from a monster or of a patient who will thankfully make a full recovery depends on when you ask her). Hikari is not the only one indignantly calling out how bullshit that is and that Castti is beautiful and strong and absolutely terrifying if you deserve it.

This results in Hikari's final confrontation with his inner Shadow being less of a Kingdom Hearts fight to conquer it and more of each half accepting the other in understanding. Just because the idea is really cool this means that instead of Shadow's Hold being replaced by Light's Radiance it instead becomes something that is a combination of the two that either has every Latent Power attack hit double or adds a Light and a Dark elemental chaser to the end of each attack.

I lack the focus to sit down and try to fully write this out beyond more of an overview but the imagined conversations between Noble Prince Hikari and Horny Shadow Hikari about Castti are hilarious.

#octopath traveler 2 #hikari ku #castti florenz #octopath castti #hikari: can we go back to when you were full of bloodlust and not lust lust? that was somehow easier to handle #Shadow Hikari: I shall not rest until we know the touch of Castti's magnificent a-

Hi @pollyna it’s me again. Oh my god, I just read through the prompts you made for Whumptober 2022. I love your writing so much and every post you make accentuates the big brain energy you have for writing. Is there a chance you could do prompts 8, 12, 13, and 14?

Hey, hi! 💓 at least my brain get used for something HAHAHA so yeah, I'll try to do my best. Those for now are wips, but sooner or later I'd like to write the whole Halix one.

#8 Back from the dead: carolegoose (here is implied)

Taking another breath is strange. Tasting blood on his tongue isn't the best way to wake up, but Nick remembers being seventeen and sneaking his dad's whisky out of the house to share it with his friends and waking up in a pond with a duck, or a goose?, on his head, so yeah, maybe it's not the best, but he had worse.

What he can't wrap his head around is why there's a sheet over his face and why he's naked. It's cold and the last thing he remembers is Mav calling out for him when he was ejecting but nothing more, even if the cold from the ocean hasn't left his bones yet. It feels like a phantom pain, the freezing cold around him, but he can't seem to find a way to ignore it.

"Carole?" he asks when he can finally find his voice. It's a little shaky and a glass of water could probably help, but nobody's around, how can it be possible? And why no one have taken away the sheet from his face?

"Carole?" He asks a little louder and he can hear things falling on the ground and someone running towards him, finally taking the sheet away and looking like he just saw a dead person rising from the dead. Ah ah, the moment Mav comes around, he'll have to tell him that, because that's the kind of stupid shit that makes his best friend laugh.

#12 Mayday! Mayday!: halix.

Phoenix thinks this is funny because she got everything she wanted and now she is going to lose some of that. Not everything, she prays, don't let me lose her.

She remembers being in flight school and watching LTJ Shen moving around the hall, following Admiral Kazansky, and writing down Natasha Shen-Trace over and over again. She remembers too, seeing her fly, high in the sky and confident as no one of them was yet. And she remembers, distinctively, thinking about wanting to marry and fly with her. She already knew she could never have it, because it was always going to be with her or fly with her. Years passed, and they were both in the same squadron, sharing day-to-day life and flying together, unstoppable up there and tasting waters on the ground, shyly asking each other out on dates and kissing in nooks and in front of everyone, but not everyone.

Until now, until her fucking wingman left them alone in the middle of a fucking cluster fuck without a way out. Not when they're going to eject, but Nat knows ejecting doesn't mean being safe and alive.

"Callie-"

"Nono Nat, not now, aft-" she is frenetic in her ears and she should shut up and think about how to save them, but she can't go down without letting them now. She can't die without telling her she-

"I love you" and a moment later they're ejecting in the middle of a shooting situation and she knows back on the carrier everyone heard that and they won't be able to fly together, but, if she lives, she is going to fight all the way to have Callie in her life.

#13 Fracture: slooserole.

The crack is louder than the chatting that's happening around her. And so is her screaming because it hurts so much and she doesn't want to watch, but she knows, marrying and dating pilots who are adrenaline junkies taught her something. In the end, her arm is broken. Sweet jesus of all the times this could have happened, now is the least favourable. Nick and Ron are going to be back in a couple of hours and she had all the day, and night, ready for them because she missed them so much and now her arm is broken and the doctor is going to put a cast on it and she will be late and- she wants to go home and hug her husband and her boyfriend. That's the only thing she wants now and in the last six months.

"Ehy, Mr. Bradshaw, someone is here to see you!" an overexcited nurse announces and Carole can only see their silhouettes because her eyes are still wet, but two tall men are coming into her room, and she swears she wasn't going to cry anymore, but being sandwiched in a hug by these men?

"Shhh baby, everything's already. We're sorry it took us so long to come here, but the traffic was terrible and no amount of Ice's magic could have fixed that." Goose says it against her head.

"We're just glad you're okay" Slider adds, kissing her cheek. "When the hospital called, we thought the worst of it."

#14 I'll be right behind you: hollywolf.

Enemy territory this and enemy territory that. What Leo remembers of the enemy territory is Rick screaming to run and promising, whispering, to be right behind him. And then nothing. There was no Rick, no enemies, no gunshots, and barely enough oxygen in his lungs to move.

And now Rick is sleeping away most of the week, looking as peaceful as he does when he's flying, fighting and fucking him.

"I should dump your sorry ass. What a fucking liar" he murmured, after waking up and seeing his new roommate.

(The snow is heavy under their boats and the gun shots are too close for his liking.

"You remember Iraq, Leo?"

"Fucking sure I remember fucking Iraq Rick, what the fuck is the matter with fucking Iraq right now?" He's tired, so fucking tired. They lost the way home after having ejected because the engines decided to fuck off at the least practical moment, and now they are in the middle of a dumbfuck forest that it's in North America, but that doesn't follow federal laws and, for these people, they are the enemies. Fucking people and their fucking fascist little state. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

"We have to do what we did there, okay? You run and I'll be right behind you. "

"Promise me."

"I promise" and Leo should have known after the kiss, the taste of blood in his mouth, that Rick wouldn't have followed him.)

"Fucking liar" he says again, hoping to trig any kind of response that doesn't come.

May I request our boy Pip on the list ask?

I love my boy Pip. He deserved better. Anyway, ty for dropping the ask, Rotten!! Time to think about things I haven't really bothered to in a while lol.

1: sexuality headcanon

Summed up by the phrase "I'm not gay, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks." And I don't mean that in the offensive sense. Pip is largely straight, but has definitely questioned himself and engaged in some intimate acts with men. Just to give it a shot while he was young and staring death in the face.

Maybe the best term is straight but homoflexible. Like he is attracted to women, but under the right set of circumstances he wouldn't turn a man down even if he wouldn't usually pursue it. And all things considered, for as rare as it is, Pip is pretty comfortable with it.

If anything, one of the things keeping him from being any more interested in men is all the time he spends with the rest of the Geese. Camp is a bit too rough and fighting with and losing men like your brothers creates quite a bit of emotional scar tissue.

2: otp

SerPip. They deserved so many good things and I start sobbing every time I have to watch Pip's death. At least they have each other for company forever, though. 'Til death do they part is no match for a determined little vampire, apparently!

3: brotp

Canon-wise I dunno if we really saw Pip's interactions with the rest of the Hellsing cast to really say he'd be bros with anybody (even between Iscariot and Mill!) But I think he'd probably be pretty cool bros with Integra. Similar ages and leaderly roles in their respective groups. It's easy to see them kicking back to have a cigar together and chat at least once. Teggy desperately needs more friends and socialization outside of work, too, and so in that respect Pip would be healthy for her.

But that said non-canon wise it's gotta be Pip and Barrett. Like, they're at the right age to wingman for each other and they have absolutely iconic chemistry as friends. We need to see more of them. Pretty pls. (I mean I could theoretically also write some but I am far more inclined to write uncle Pip to Barrett's kids because That is also rich with possibility...)

4: notp

Honestly I don't give a shit who ships what or how relationships between other characters are explored. And like, I think there are plenty of chances to explore Pip as a comrade and friend to many folks of the cast. But if we're talking about romantic shipping, I don't think I could ever see Pip with Alucard or Walter. And TBF I haven't seen it, but it also seems like a crack thing with relatively little canon support (until somebody kicks down my door and informs me otherwise).

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Dude is surprisingly good at holding a home together. Like he keeps the place clean enough, knows how to cook basic things, and probably bothers to at least half-ass making his bed every morning. There's something about the civility to be savored at home before going back out to work, you know? He lives like a dog the rest of the time so he may as well live like a man while it suits him.

6: favorite line from this character

Full disclosure I do not really bond closely with lines or specific phrases. So it's hard to remember and I had to go back and listen to a bunch of stuff lmao.

But pip's little monolog to to Seras before Zorin shows up where he's talking about London and how nice and normal people were just kinda gets me. It's not quite the same as a love letter to the mundane life, but he's one of the few folks in hellsing really showing off some humanity there. So I really like that one, as often as I forget about it lol.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Honestly Pip seems like the kinda guy to roll with the punches and that's how I like to think I am too. Like, he's adaptable: learns the supernatural is real (ok), decides he wants a vampire gf (brave man), and still manages to stand for his core beliefs at the end of the day. I like to think I'm the same in that sense, where I can adapt until I have something worth standing up for.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

I dont think anything canon pip would do could ever give me second hand embarrassment. But also consider he can't really rub one out in privacy after being made into a familiar. And he's stuck in his uniform unless he needs to change. Seras can't just imagine him in other clothes, right????

Moreover why do any vampire ghouls keep their clothes???? Why are they not naked???? Is Alucard just one giant closet?????

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

CINNAMON ROLL (and I will fight for this)

OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT— childhood best friends prinxiety, they get really close, best friends; virgil is the first person roman came out to, then, later, when Roman came out to his family, they’re like “we know?” and he’s confused. they’re like “you have a boyfriend?” and roman just “????? SINCE WHEN????” and they’re like ??? are you not dating virgil. and he just. starts laughing. “oh, hell, virgil may be a snack and a half, a total dreamboat, one hunky piece of meat, but No.”

meanwhile virgil just goes, “you really think that low of my standards?”

but soon enough, both of them take this as an opportunity to start jokingly flirting with eachother. people assume they’re a Thing but they just genuinely enjoy flirting.

things get especially rough when virgil comes out as aro, but roman is ready to throw hands at ALL times. anyone who dares to talk shit about virgil, aromanticism, or gay people, in a twelve mile radius will be Dealt With.

Okay so after pulling Childe (and getting him to almost lvl 90 the same day lmao but I ran out of exp books) I started thinking about Chaeya x reader and I have to share my brainrot with someone so here you go:

Childe suddenly shows up to Mondstadt one day, supposedly to check out the Windblume Festival, but it had already been over for a few days before he arrived

You walk in on him and Kaeya glaring daggers at each other in the middle of the street, Kaeya sending terse smiles and veiled threats while Childe is nearly vibrating with the effort to keep himself from stabbing Kaeya in broad daylight. Who cares if he's a captain of the Knights? This guy's pissing him off

When you make your presence known it's like a switch flipped inside the two of them and they both turn to you like "ah yes here is the love of my life :)"

"Childe? What are you doing here?"

"Aw, can't I come say hi to a friend?" He replies, flashing you a grin.

"In that case, you've said your hellos," Kaeya interjects. He drapes an arm across your shoulders and pulls you closer to him. "They'll be coming with me now."

"I'm not just here to say hello." Childe steps toward you, sending a cold smile in Kaeya's direction. "I'm here to spend the day with them. Now, if you'll excuse us…"

You sigh as you realize that you have to be the peacekeeper here otherwise who knows what these two will do to each other?

To stop them from fighting and to lighten the tension in the air, you jokingly say, "Alright you two, settle down. I have two hands."

Even though you clearly meant it as a joke the boys each immediately grab one of your hands and you end up sandwiched between them for the rest of the day while they engage in Friendly Banter™ but don't you worry it's totally lighthearted and doesn't really mean anything (:

You are exhausted from babysitting these two grown ass men at the end of the day

Fast forward a few weeks and Kaeya invites Childe to have a Civil Discussion about their mutual feelings towards you

Bc while Kaeya would be perfectly content (he tells himself) with burying his feelings and letting someone else sweep you off your feet if it means you get to be happy and safe

He absolutely cannot let you fall into the hands of the Fatui, especially not a Harbinger

He's already lost his family because of the Fatui, he's not going to lose you too

These two somehow manage to make it through their chat without stabbing each other, which is a miracle

They decide to confess to you together and let you decide who to keep

The day comes when they both planned to confess to you. They somehow both kept their promise of not confessing before the other person which is also quite the miracle (maybe they signed a contract with Zhongli as the mediator lmao)

Anyway, they take you out to the cliff next to Stone Gate bc no one ever goes up there lmao so they won't be interrupted

(Kaeya lets Childe go first bc he thinks he would be able to deliver a more romantic confession than this two brain cell Fatui Harbinger)

Idk how to break it to you Kaeya but your poetry sucks (jk jk pls still come home I need your constellations 🥺)

After hearing two heartfelt confessions from your two favorite people, you had to take a moment to process what just happened

They both like you??? Wtf???? And here you were losing sleep over how you'd handle your crush on both the Cavalry Captain and the Harbinger

So if course you suggest a poly relationship. After all, you had two hands ;)

The boys didn't quite know how to handle your response, but after explaining it to them they both agree to give it a shot

So that's how you managed to capture the heart of these two idiots

And with your help they eventually realized that, huh, maybe the other person isn't so bad. They're actually kinda hot, ngl 👀

From then on, all the evil in Teyvat knew to not mess with you if they valued their existence. Your boyfriends aren't known to show mercy against those who hurt their loved ones

Ahaha this was long but I hope you enjoyed it!! If I have more brainrot to share I shall return with a part 2

Being completely honest. I really like Childe + Kaeya. Zhongli + Childe is really nice and wholesome but no one really writes smug Zhongli (THE. LOST. FUCKING. POTENTIAL???) but I care about fake smug Childe being paired with actually smug bastard Kaeya. But then you throw a reader in and holy shit, have I mentioned how much I love poly relationships?? I'm so honoured you came to me of all people to brainrot;; I also love the idea of reader acting as a wingman for two separate characters.

Dude, I can literally astral project and see this in my mind. I fully commit to the idea that Childe is an overgrown child and Kaeya acts like one when he gets pissed lol. Yo, if they signed a contract with Zhongli I can feel evil dad Zhongli hovering behind them anytime they try to make a move. But I was also not a fan of Kaeya's poetry. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I hate big acts of affection. Or just any act of affection that oversteps above platonic cause I would not be writing poetry for my friends unless it was a joke. It makes my spine turn to liquid. I'm gonna be real, even tho I just said that, I'm super down to hold anyone's hand or link arms. I'm gonna use "I have two hands" one day.

I can totally see their relationship starting with I love this person and I want to fuck this other person. There is no in-between. Then it slowly develops and what are these feelings I'm having??
