tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake

ALSO HI I REALLY LIKE YOUR ANALYSISES DHSJFHDHCHD

OMG OMG PLS PLS PLS, I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT. THEIR MASKS AND OUTFITS DRIVE ME NUTS. I WOULD DIE FOR AN ANIMATION OF THIS. THERE'S A MUSIC VIDEO OF THEM IN MY HEAD PLAYING EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT.

And thank you so so much!!! The Amongi show should not be this serious but it fucking is and I hate them, WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS.

The matching outfits?????? The dapper suits?????? Purple having a proper bowtie loosely made while Red looks like their collar is popped open??????

THE FUCKING MASKS? Bcos Purple looks like they're wearing a falcon or raven mask, and Red is wearing an owl mask, see the samples below:

(I literally just pulled these off Google Images, but I hope everyone sees the vibe.)

HAHAHAHAHA, I'M SOOOOOORRY, PURPLE'S JUST SO BREEDABLE.

PLS JOIN ME IN THE VISION. Purple being grumpy and bitchy but they're also waddling around all round and soft and sore. They can't run like this. They can't fight like this. They cry easily, they get tired quicker, and they fold when you hug them. They're clawing at you for doing this to them but it's hard to even walk so they don't make a fuss when you carry them.

They're miserable. They're upset. They'd bite you if their clever brilliant brain wasn't in a constant fog and their own body wasn't changing in horrific ways against their will. You get to fold them up in your shared bed and kiss their forehead all sweet-like. They'll fall asleep regardless.

AND TO ANSWER THIS ONE. IT DEPENDS.

I'll stick with my main ships where I have some idea of their kids, tho.

Bcos ofc we have Magenta. They're very much a good mix of both. I think they're as extroverted and energetic as Red when it comes to it, but with Purple's genuine self-confidence and self-assurance. They have Purple's tendency to prioritize others, bcos they can be extremely protective of their parent, and tbh, Red would tell you they're more Purple's kid than theirs. Maggie cries the same way Purple does. I think they grow up to be a Detective.

Then there's Plum. I like to think Plum is more like Red, when they were younger. Anxious, insecure, and shy. They think Red is an absolute hero. Nothing is scary when Red is around. They're cautious and careful, but they have the same moral compass as Purple, so they have bursts of confidence when they feel strongly about something. Think your friend who can't talk to people but will demand your meal be remade if they got your order wrong.

Also what do you think any fan kids would be like? For any of the pairings. What parent would they take more after?

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK, ANON, I AM VERY HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT BLUEPURPLE ROYALTY AU.

I personally think, Red is the acting regent or reigning feudal lord of the Skeld territory here, within the empire of MIRA. Maybe a viscount with some decorative military commendations?

And Purple serves as the retainer for the Skeld. Except, it's an extremely reluctant, volatile working relationship. I imagine a similar betrayal during their military service with Red led to their falling out. I also imagine Purple has some kind of long-term disability that had them dishonorably discharged and unable to find work.

Which means they spend quite a lot of time with Blue. I do think they're friends. And Blue hears them out on Red's unreasonable demands and how they perpetuate unfair taxes on the people in the Skeld territory on MIRA's behalf. Red is the representative of the Crown here, after all.

It's a very sweet friendship. I like to think Blue leaves pressed flowers in the books they lend to Purple.

green has purple loosely wrapped in a tentacle while cuddling or something and starts annoying purple by poking them in the face because theyre boooreeedd and after the billionth time purple whips their head around and ends up biting green on the tentacle, and i dont mean just a cute bite mark, im talking a chunk comes out of it, purple didnt mean to bite them That Hard so purple sits there in shock, impostor blood dripping from their mouth, as green tightens a (not injured) tentacle around purple and starts cooing at them like purple was a kitten that grabbed their hand with tiny claws and teeth.

(and green is giddy that purples finally play fighting with them again!! yes!!! this is the one who faced off against them and tried to stop them! they havent played like this since the skeld!! <this was greens desired outcome of weeks of being really annoying on purpose btw.)

THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTE AND HORNY. YES. PURPLE BITING BACK. PURPLE BITING A CHUNK OUT OF GREEN AND SPITTING IT OUT.

Green's blood in Purple's mouth. Purple reeks of them. There's no mistaking who Purple belongs to.

And Green thinking of it as PLAYFIGHTING. ROUGHHOUSING. Purple RECIPROCATING.

I like to think this might be a part of the alien parasite's breeding/mating behaviors. You provoke a mating prospect into fighting. You get covered in each other's scents and entrails. Weaken your mating prospect enough that the stronger participant breeds the weaker one. This is reciprocation to Green.

Anyways, I just wanted to know what you thought of a poly Skeld crew. More specifically, Green an Imp from the moment they stepped on the ship but didn’t get to kill anyone because they tripped and ended up getting a crush on 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦

(Bonus bottom Green it ever gets to that point)

Tbh, I think this is just canon. XD

I'm just a Purple simp, so ofc Green has the biggest crush on Purple, and bcos Episode 10 proves my point objectively right. /lh, jk

But we do have a liiiiiiiittle AU with @/nectarmouth, about the crew crashing in the Fungle. And the environment is so optimal for mating purposes that the hunting and predation instincts take a backseat.

If you think of the alien parasites as animals, their prime directive is to eat and breed. Orange is an excellent example of someone from their species who prioritizes the welfare of the offspring/breeding instinct, as opposed to Green, who would be younger, less regulated, and more prone to aggression/hunting instinct. Think of those teenager elephants who need older elephants to take them down a peg or two.

I need y'all to get out of my DMs, bcos I feel like you're all spying. XD

The angst of the whoooooole secret lovechild AU kills me in the best way. They think they're trying to rekindle an old friendship. They think extending this olive branch in the form of a job offer would fix... everything. And things could go back to the way things were.

It'd literally break them if they knew about the whole secret baby they accidentally abandoned. It adds another layer of betrayal to what they did to Purple.

If they ever get a glimpse of Red, maybe they get more interested in them, because Maggie does some things that Red does or say and just wants to know more about them, and why Purple never talks about them

Also your writing is so good!! I love it a lot!!

I'm happy you think it's cute and you're having fun, Anon, bcos there's tooooooootally no angst and anguish in the AU where Purple had to raise their ex-friend's/situationship's illegitimate child in poverty that was partially caused by Red. :333

(It makes me DELIRIOUSLY giddy, the silly makes the pain that much funnier and more delicious.)

AW. I just wanna say, Maggie would have been SUCH a Baba's bean, if they knew Red. Red's stupidly weak for their kid, esp when their kid just acts so much like Purple. Red calls them their "co-captain" or "Cadet". I like to think, in this secret lovechild AU, Maggie likes to sit in the vents near Navigation bcos they're curious about the one person their Mimi won't let them meet.
