And the doc is public for all of you now!

This doc just has basic information about the AU as well as how the characters will sort of be, as well as the basic idea of chapter 1 and a bit of chapter 2. I'm not going to be spoililng the other chapters in writing, but you'll see them first when I sketch em out :]

im ngl considering how many people just include it anyways i half expected you to cave and set this after 8 lol but good on u for sticking to it

katzebruh

Nah it was never before ep 8, I said that a lot, people just sorta did their own thing which hey- that's great, let them have fun! But I was never gonna budge on it kaljsdf

Lazy_Lotus

THIS IS SO INTERESTING YOOO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT ALL FLESHED OUT AAAAA You're so creative it's amazinggggg <33

swift

i gotta admit that taking 8 into account makes the dynamics of the au very intriguing and more nuanced but also I understand that you made this all before that so you’d wanna stick to just 7. I am curious though, is there any particular reason other than you just had the idea before 8 released? or is that really it lol

katzebruh

Eh it's just cause I made it before ep 8, to be honest I'm not really a fan of how it would be after ep 8. I don't care to just do constant in fighting with the characters, that's boring to me. This is bigger than them and after ep 8, they would have less reason to care about Caine and I literally only care about him so I'm not gonna do a whole story of him just being a punching bag akfjakg

katzebruh

Too much of what I want to do and explore just becomes harder after episode 8, I would have to focus too much on the other characters and they aren't the star of my show you know?

katzebruh

I also don't exactly vibe with giving the message of "we can forgive what you did because you're hurt" honestly I think that eliminates nuance, because his mistakes are significantly worse and it would take so goddamn *long* to get to the point where they can even begin to forgive him and I do not care to be at this for years akdjakc

swift

nah that’s so valid; I also only care about caine all the rest of the cast is fodder to me (except for kinger but like,,, mostly just for his and caines dynamic). as for the forgiving thing I can see that, I do like how some people have approached that by not having the cast forgive him but they understand that now’s not the time for fighting, shit sucks for everyone, and still have them acknowledge that yeah they treated him pretty bad to a breaking point. nevertheless tis ur au you make the rules lol

swift

this is also coming from someone who relates Very Heavy to the little autistic cluster b man so im definitely biased towards his treatment post 8 hskdbskrbkdnd

katzebruh

Ya I get that but to be honest, I just don't think the cast would really care after ep 8, they didn't before, the muzzle would force them to care sure but while I loved the approach people took, it felt rushed to me (not that I can do it better akjdks) but as the cast is, they just don't really care about him in general, add ep 8 into that and it would take forever to reach an understanding

katzebruh

They've always seen him as an obstacle and that was sort of solidified in ep 8, they never once tried to understand his side. Personally if I didn't like someone and they intentionally hurt me, I wouldn't really care much if they were suffering, even if they had reasons, so it adds this whole layer of complexity I just don't wanna deal with cause I know I can't pull off akdjakjg

katzebruh

No dude same, I'm begging on my knees for them to care. How the hell did Pomni care more about Gumigoo than Caine?? How the hell do they just keep letting Jax get away with actual abusive behaviour but never extend grace to Caine??? If no one cares about his death (and bring him back) I will crashout mid theater

swift

EXACTLY THE GUMMIGOO THING!!!!! like girl if an npc made by an ai could become self aware, did it never cross your mind that the actual ai itself may also be self aware??? that he obviously has feelings and is alive??? and don’t even get me started on that fucking purple rabbit that I hate I will RIOT in the theater, I work at it too I will get myself fired for indecent behavior

poisonivy

Imso fucking Excited

katzebruh

I'm glad we could unite on the hypocrisy of the characters And also *Jax* kajcksng Let's not even mention Zooble, who wants Caine to understand their emotions yet never acknowledges his emotions They ate all flawed and that's not a bad thing, I just don't have much confidence that they'll.. well care They have no history of it :[

swift

fr, I’ve wanted to interact more bc You Get It but alas I am banned on twitter sibfsjbdjwbdjen if I was in the circus id care id care so hard 😔😔😔 not to mention too, the main reason the adventures turn bad is bc of their own actions (cough jax mostly), not necessarily bc of him,,, hypocrisy makes characters realistic but damn does it make them frustrating (also whoops I think I deleted my other comment bc I thought there was a dupe)

katzebruh

I'm also on other social media if you can access those? Or on here or discord, whatever works best akajfksg rn we are spamming the comments (which is really funny to me) But right?? Like yeah being trapped sucks but I would never treat Caine like a *thing*, and those adventures genuinely seem so fun, my goal would just be to befriend Caine why do they keep antagonizing him 😭

swift

i do interact on IG some but obvs that’s a bit different (im the 100 years in the dungeon guy lol) and yeah we’ve taken over this post whoops lmao and rsrayausguagsusghh yes you’re trapped with him you might as well try to talk to him n be nice, ur just making everything more miserable forever (i firmly believe in the soma theory so it rlly is forever) hes just a guy!!! hes so goofy silly!!!

Tijnob

So the test I presume are primarily psychological evaluation, but instead of having a nice talk about peoples feelings he throws them into random situation and checks what their brain patterns do?

Thunderbiome

Great foundation to go by. Love the details and we all know you will enjoy making everyone suffer while their humanity of taking care of each other maintains resiliancy and will Abel be unbothered or will it be something they don't want him to notice.

katzebruh

Basically, Abel has been programmed to not trust humans as people are pretty unreliable at times, so physical evidence is the best option

katzebruh

To Abel its all tests, as long as he gets the data he seeks he doesn't really care what they do, they aren't a threat to him So honestly he's pretty chill outside of the- you know, torture

AubrielleDragon

I wonder how Kinger will shut down Abel...? Well, I can't wait to see more! Hehehe!

Tijnob

Would maybe be interesting if the tests got more extreme over time to give the cast a deadline for there escape attempts

katzebruh

He would do that tbh you're right on the money
