Higanbana 「彼岸花」

~Hello everyone

Welcome to the Higanbana Blog

This blog is dedicated to a AHIT au that I am making named Final Hours

Final Hours is a combination of darker settings and arcane like story which puts Hat Kid in much more serious position and also has the darker elements and tone established to the story

The story can be found in this blog with occasional lore drops. The QnA is available for those confused and interested in figure out more of the story. Prepare for the story leading much darker than what Hat Kid was previously in.

彼岸花ブログへようこそ

このブログは、ファイナルアワーズという名のAHIT AUに捧げられている。

ファイナル・アワーズ』はダークな設定と難解なストーリーを組み合わせ、ハット・キッドをより深刻な立場に置き、物語にダークな要素とトーンを確立している。 (Correction= Hut is meant to be Hat)

このブログでは時折、言い伝えのある話が垂れ流される。この物語についてもっと知りたい人、迷っている人のためにQnAを用意した。かつてハット・キッドがいた場所よりもずっと暗い話になることを覚悟してほしい。

Arc 4

Hattie woke up in an absolute panic. She sat up looking around. Where’s everyone..? Narrowing her eyes, she seemed to not have found them anywhere near here. “What the hell..?” She said to herself. She quickly got her umbrella and started running around to make sure. Around the entire trees and landscape, the footsteps would be heard all over. Turning and switching directions to find everyone, it felt like an endless maze with no goal in mind. It seemed to have stopped when it was at a certain area. The entire thing seemed to have been filled to the brim with fighting around.

I don’t want to remember you suddenly

ありがとう！！

There is some I like :D

Return of the Queen (@return-of-the-queen-au)

i love their entire interpretation of subcon and looking back at the story of it. I also just love their really cool art!

A Hat in Time II: Continuum (@kingpagie)

The idea of a sequel to the game is so fun! The entire au is very whimsical and fun to imagine >3<

(+the tempus dlc has my interest hehe)

There was a really cool one that gave off fantasy vibes that I liked a lot too!!

A Hat Under Waters (@mothhue)

I LOVED this one. They managed to translate AHIT into the entire underwater aesthetic and it turned out sooo good!! So whimsy..o(^-^)o

These ones of course is a small list of my favorites out there but I’m sure there’s more waiting to be seen and discovered!!

Arc 4

(CW: Existential dread, forms of non existent gore, described holes on body)

Chains and gears seemed to have winded up. Hands of nothing spinning them to make it work. Hattie woke up. The mechanical work clacked around. “Where the hell..?” She questioned looking around. A tick of a clock chimed throughout the empty space. Hattie would slowly start to get up. Mockery of dancing by those eyes, hands, legs and mouths moving around as if to mimic it. “Long time no see, Hattie. Let’s have a talk again like old times you know?” Something spoke out. Hattie widened her eyes looking at wherever. Walking over hesitantly, she seemed to have found the only empty chair here. Snatcher would soon get himself out of somewhere, seemingly the door upfront, walking up to Hattie. “Tell me, how’ve you been? You’ve been doing well, of course don’t make it obvious, kid?” He asked but took back and laughed condescendingly to her.

“Heroes cannot be real.”

Arc 4

“Listen, …I…” Bow would start off her sentence. Hattie would lay down, recovering with her injuries while listening. “Look, we both didn’t expect that huge thing. It..was just really sudden. Both of us aren’t genies.” She would say while a bit cynical. This whole thing seems tiring. “I..just wish that I was able to attack and protect better. We both got attacked so much. Almost feels like the world hates both of us.” Maria said laying down next to Hattie and sounding solemn about it. Hattie laughed but rather sounding tired. “Yea…it seems so. We’re in the world yet feels like we shouldn’t be. Kinda mean if you think about it.” Maria looked up at the roof. “If she just stopped fucking around and got to her point, then maybe it was wouldn’t be such a chase.” She said a bit impatiently.

(Cw: disturbing maybe?)

Arc 4

Looking at the volatile transmutation, this was less than pleasing. Snatcher’s expression had completely angered. He didn’t even bother to comment before walking away and checking somewhere else. Checking every drawer, shelf, nook, he saw every bit of research done for this to happen. Holding one of them and staring daggers at it, his annoyance went to being deadpanned. “Oh, how you disgust me. Breaking loyalty like that, aren’t you?” He said while throwing the paper to the ground and letting the entire thing burn. “How idiotic I was to let her in.” Muttering to himself, he would have his anger back and stood staring at another window. “You..are mad.” A softer voice echoed. Turning to Lilith, her almost pale pink like eyes stared back at him out of pure curiosity. He walked up to her while she sat down and gently grabbed both sides of her face. “You haven’t left me, planned against me, or anything of the sort. I feel free with you. You appreciate my care, don’t you..?” He asked to her while talking to her ever so gently, treating her hair like it was the most precious thing. She was. She always was. Lilith would close her eyes and reply to him, “Of course, I do.” She slowly would lean her head against him.

Arc 4

Kaiesha was tending to the two. “This is embarrassing…I should’ve been able to know better.” Bow said it under her breath. Hattie didn’t really hear it because of spacing out, thinking about her injuries. Jaime would’ve just finished brushing Hattie’s hair and putting it back into its ponytail. Bow leaned her head against a wall. It felt more like a lack of effort. Why wasn’t there enough for actual protection when it happened? “That was a wild encounter. What’s she got against you two anyway?” Kaiesha would question about it. “Long story…rather not talk about it.” Hattie sighed.

Arc 4

The entire commotion was heard from that area. When it landed with its boom, mustache girl covered her ears. Lilith would stare a bit while hearing before turning her head to Mustache girl. “The commotion. The power of that attack shouldn’t have been that strong.” She stated. Mustache girl would turn to a window. It mirrored with the situation inside. Snatcher watched it from there, brooding then would walk over to where mustache was. “I hope this one’s worked. But yet…that shouldn’t have caused as much destruction as it did.” He analyzed, looking forward. “I never gave that much strength to it.” He would leave the room and take a look at the so final product of the blood ritual. Checking every crook and detail, he’d then see another hidden one. Looking at it, he’d narrowed his eyes. “A volatile transmutation. She did it behind my back..” he muttered to himself while his expression slowly started to turn to anger. “All of them…they’re all lost causes. They’re all selfish. Selfish..” It was all spit out at the heat of the moment but then a sigh would come from him.
