fetch, behind the scenes

Fetch- Jacob (random and generic enough fir hin to blend in)

Koko- Connor (sorta sounds like koko and also generic enough)

Corpse- Gavin/Gav (got Gav from cadaver, which is a word for dead body and corpse is... well)

Kassidy- Trinity (random n generic)

Maitake- Maya (m name :D)

Oh man this is quite a few days late LMFAO. in my defense i do not get nottifs for this blog. Also youve just unleashed a beast by asking this hope youre ready <3

So, first fun fact! We actually had an entire divergent setup for if fetch lived, and an alterbate confrontation with baroness if he died before that.

First up, if fetch died before being able to confront baroness (we didnt know when wed have that confrontation just yet ao we wanted to cover all our bases) it would have been Maitake threatening Baroness with the gasoline as well as her mustard gas (as a mooshroom hybrid she produces Toxins and Spores she can weaponize).

If fetch lived, he would have been in the mansion when it went up in flames. Instead of Mona and King leaving on their own, they would have run into Fetch, and they would have had an altercation that ended in fetch finding out that mona is a shifter (friendly reminder that he didnt know that the entire time theyve been friends, which went back to early high school :])

Instead of jumping out the window, he decides its safer to climb the roof so the other hunters can find him easier and get him down. Knights room was on the second floor, and he was already pushing it with his (gestures at him) condition. and he didnt want to break his legs or something

There was this whole speech i had planned where he stares at the commotion of doomsday on the roof and have a Big Badass Monologue but alas 😔

He also would have been there for crown's exorcism, he was the one to tackle crown and hold him down while they got ready rather than corpse. Also this bit that canonized his polyamory with corpse and koko :3

(Full disclosure: fetch got with koko 2 weeks after coming to HQ because koko found him super interesting and endearing, and corpse later got attatched to him since he was the main one taking care of him in the med ward and they bonded heavily over Chronic Pain And Illnesses)

Fetch would have gone on to be a top operator in the Lotus branch, with plenty of good company to keep him happy. He had a dog, 2 boyfriends, and a myriad of friends at HQ, and the hunters provided him with the safety and stability he'd been looking for the entire time. Despite his nightmares and trauma and bad memories, if he lived he would have been happy

Corpse and Koko still mourn him together. Maitake still keeps bacon bits in the cupboard. Kassidy (who yall never got to see whcih is aCRIME because i love her and she was also one of fetch's besties) still paints some of her nails black because it was his favorite look on her. He may have not been there for a long time, but his absence is very very felt at HQ.

Anyway that for sad heres koko informing tge mcdonalds employee that fetch corpse and kassidy ask for no pickle

He was literally so underappreciated by everyone in that fucking mansion and that was the POINT and im SO SORRY for treating him like that but i think its worth talking about how he was just as much of a tragic character as fetch was

all he wanted was a best friend, and all he wanted was to get along with fetch in the beginning. He thought that crown and the family would make him happy which is why he went, and it wasnt until fetch started lashing out that he started lashing back. And then an insult turned into a push, which turned into a shove, which turned into a punch, and then a claw, and... you get it. you saw what happened in the bathroom

fetch and knight are both stubborn and dont want to admit theyre wrong. they were stuck in a constant revenge loop and neither of them wanted to back down. both of them were acting out of fear and rage. which is really upsetting, because knight started out as such a happy kid. he liked horses and scooby doo and doodling himself. i dont think it ever got shown and idk if i can find it now, but there was a drawing i did in-character of him and fetch holding hands with the caption "best friends" that he drew before everything went to shit. he just wanted to be there for fetch, but fetch was too scared of knight controlling him.

knight was a victim of circumstance as much as fetch was. he never got to see his dreamon form, he never got to see his horse grow up, he never got to take pictures of anything outside the mansion. the last book he read was a book he was intentionally reading to torture himself under the guise of coping. he never told anyone how he was feeling because he felt so discarded and abandoned he figured nobody would care. Nobody even saw the paint on his walls warping from the amount of stormclouds he started.

I love fetch to hell and back, but jesus christ i love knight too. Im proud of how i played both of them down to the last second :]

Fetch's is, predictably, the dog park. It's always the same sun, burning white at times through the thick clouds of ash and soot, and sometimes it hangs low in the sky, angry red. His final moments were spent in a blind panic and rage, and now he wanders the ashen plains with a certain ache in the back of his head. He can't speak, or make any noise other than gurgled growling-like noises. In his limbo, he's much less angry than he was in life. It's rather calm and peaceful in the park, but the taunting sounds of other people far, far away keep lingering. He gets restless easily, but there's plenty of space to run around and plenty of dirt to be dug up. He just wishes he had company. A certain blonde and a particular purple rabbit would be fine company, but it's only him and the memories of their touch.
