goddd Me Avi I fuckign HATE Avi (lie)

something about a Trav who almost hates everything there is kinda funny to me but it also leaves for some great scenarios and maybe dynamics? I dunno. Him and Ik are used to loneliness but Ik actually wants to talk to someone so sometimes Avi is just “oh my god can you SHUT UP” but he doesn’t mean it he’s just. Not used to something that isn’t silence

I think they care for each other in. A way. I don’t know how to describe it because it’s like romantic but without the romance does that make sense. If they had the chance they would hold hands and cuddle but in a completely platonic sense because I think they both just. Need the company. After being alone for so long

but they’re apart from each other so instead they have witty banter or kind, quiet conversations about life because life is something beautiful and should be remembered

hey chat I’m back . Here’s a ship I feel the need to explain . warning for Trav x Sob, and if you feel like you need to, you can block me /gen

hi. I love ships that are wholesome and happy and fun but sometimes relationships aren’t always that simple so uhhh. Hi. Trav and Sob. No they aren’t dating but there’s a strange romantic tension here that. Probably isn’t romantic? I don’t know. My Trav very much likes Ik but finds himself relating to Sob a bit more because like “yeah if I was in your shoes I feel like I’d also go insane” but does not support his actions whatsoever so it’s this weird standoff of “I hate you and what you’ve done to my friends” and “I understand you and I think you could get better” but no, Sob cannot get better and Trav is simply raising his hopes too high . Does Sob feel the same way towards them? Yeah . A little . Only a little . In the sense of “I find comfort in your hope in me, but I will break you like everyone else” I think maybe if Sob wasn’t a piece of shit he could get what he wants but I think it’s implied he enjoys being mean more so. Fuck you Sob hope you die

I think I should die for this /j but hey thanks for reading this small rant

the demons won . crossover episode featuring a friends traveler

It’s hard to tell the time in the afterlife because it’s constantly night. There are clocks hidden around floors, but they all give different times, so many guests have a warped perception of it. Me Avi decided that despite the fact it’s constantly dark out and they don’t need to eat, it’s time for lunch. He reaches for a rotary dial phone somewhere in his room, spinning the dial and waiting patiently for someone to answer.

> Hello?

The tiniest smile crept onto Avi’s face. Apparently there was another “traveler” roaming through the hotel, which explained why Ik would start entirely off topic conversations with him. The two eventually met and stayed in touch, although they don’t chat often. Even if they didn’t talk, the thought of someone going through the same experiences made him feel… better.

> “Trav, meet me near the balcony in around 10 minutes. We’re going to have lunch together.”

> …Wait, lunch?—

Avi dropped the phone on the bracket, and began buttoning up his shirt before leaving his room. Ik has explained many times before that he’s fixed the power of the elevator, but because of past experiences he decided that he won’t ever touch it again unless absolutely necessary. So how does he get there? Crawling through the ventilation.

A little dusty and strange, but better than potentially being thrown around like a ragdoll.

That entire adventure probably took a little more than ten minutes, but it didn’t matter because Me Avi was there first anyway. The balcony floor was.. well, it’s self explanatory—a really large outside area akin to a balcony. Since everything was underground, the sky was instead panes of glass with fake stars slid behind it, but it was still relaxing. Avi left two plates of toast and two cups of coffee on a table, sitting on one side while waiting for the other wanderer.

Traveler eventually arrived at their destination, though was visibly confused by the whole ‘lunch’ ordeal.

> I hope I’m not late?

> “No, no. You’re right on time.”

(art by @fiowersfield / left is trav, right is me avi)

He motioned for them to sit down, and as they did he began to start up casual conversation. It wasn’t much, mostly “how was your day?” or “so what do you do in your free time?” since neither of them actually knew how to talk to a person. Occasionally the topic strayed into the past, but they both agreed that was a rant for another day.

Avi took the final sip of his coffee before realizing that Trav didn’t eat at all. He understood why since it wasn’t needed, but he felt bad just keeping them there while he ate.

> “Sorry, guess I just wanted to talk to someone. It’s been a while.”

> No no, you’re fine. I just don’t really want to eat it.

> “…Mind if I have it?”

Traveler smiled with their eyes.

> Sure.

Howdy!! I don’t know how you found this account, but pretty cool that you did! Here’s my main if you’re interested

I am Astrophel—commonly known as Astro or Xurkit—and this is a side blog where I talk about The Upturned! Yeah I already do that on my main blog, but this digs into the stuff that I feel too embarrassed to share to the population! which is just. “hey what if I made my own story off an already canon one”

#wandering rambles - off topic posts

#upsidedownwanderer - story stuff. I am too lazy to put it all into separate tags

Below are character descriptions! Ocs included </33

Mr. Me Avi - The Traveler (he/they)

A lone soul who found the Upturned Inn by luck. Although their face is always unemotional, they’re easily irritable. Their mood consists of passive aggressive muttering or screaming at the nearest moving thing from fear. His anger is never sudden, instead it build ups over encounters—he’s actually quite polite at first. A few years in the apocalypse does that to you.

Ikabod Kee - The Receptionist (he/him)

A chipper snake-like soul that is stationed at the front desk of the Upturned Inn. He’s always in a good mood, and it’s hard to crack the smile on his face! A bit loud from time to time, but that’s out of excitement over seeing another face.

Shrimp - The Anomaly (it/he)

A soul locked away in one of the asylum rooms. Doesn’t show much emotion either, only reacting to toys or food. Ik occasionally calls it “Artie.”

Sobbergritch - The Inventor (he/him)

The current owner of the Upturned Inn. Hasn’t been seen or found in a long time, as it’s been told he’s in the deepest parts of the hotel. Rarely will he interrupt conversations between Avi and Ik, and the reason why is unknown. It’s hard to tell if there’s malicious intent.

The Horseman - Death (they/he/it)

A myth to many, a man to few. Guests of the inn speak of a glowing figure on horseback guiding those out of the rain, therefore out of the afterlife. They have many titles: “Death,” “The Lone Rider,” “The Morning,” but we don’t know his actual name.

OCS!! Because they’re fun and this is MY story /j

The Widow (she/her)

A soul that sulks in her own room day and night. According to guests, she still mourns over the loss of her husband, stating that “although he left me for another woman, I still love him..” When she’s not sobbing over a man, she’s very comforting to be around. A motherly figure despite having no children.

Critter (he/him)

A lil chuckler that prefers to follow the crowd. Even when showing clear excitement about something, he seems to stay quiet, as he’s afraid of bringing attention to himself. Calls Ik quite often—the two apparently see each other as family.

Flauna (they/them)

A caterpillar-like soul that’s trapped in a floor overgrown by flora. The vines of roses seem to not let anything in or out unless you’re using the elevator. A kind soul even in loneliness. If they aren’t talking about flowers, they’re probably talking about their husband. (❤️ - Sobbergritch)

Ides (any/all)

A mysterious figure that trudges through the forest outside of the Inn. Critter and Widow have found a way to leave their floors without being caught, and have met with xim before. It’s hard to fully tell what xey look like, as her body is constantly shifting into different silhouette, but you’ll always manage to find his looking eyes.

Lars (they/he/it) (belongs to @fiowersfield)

A bug like humanoid that has been lost in the afterlife for a while! they dont have a specific place where they stay at and keep wandering around, mostly following lights that they see. they are interested in the stars and usually look up at them sometimes when they get too lost in the woods. as a hobby they "draw" ( doodles in dirt ) as a way to spend some time. usually pretty nice but mostly confused because they dont think a lot. (❤️ - The Horseman)
