#calico's asks

TRUE TRUE!!! vic isn't a huge fan of celebrating the day, but noogai insisted. humans and their weird traditions....

bonus:

ooh speaking of if he did develop such things could you imagine his confusion (and fear) of not understanding them or even knowing he has them? idk much about spiders (because i fear them) so sadly i can't give you any examples/scenarios for this idea

gosh now that i'm writing this out another idea/question popped up in my head: i think you mentioned that he'd sorta be out of it after he transforms (and gets under dark's control i think but i might be wrong), right? well, how would he get out of that? would the code or whatever just be removed? i personally find the longer route more interesting: the cg helping him deal with that and the instincts mentioned above and him slowly becoming himself again, but still having difficulties with it. maybe sometimes he just sits and dissasosiates

i think if he were any spider it'd likely be tarantula! of course the virabots are a different kind of spider though. so alan primarily uses force rather than webs to fight and is very drawn to movement. he also likes dark places and will often hide under anywhere he can fit if given the option.

he probably needs his glasses replaced by the point where he's fully spider also, but Dark doesn't really bother considering he can usually tell the hollowheads apart from other sticks and also he's still able to discern colors and everything.

And then he realizes that of course they don't know how to cook, they're kids that live alone and no one taught them

of course! i'm sure i've drawn many little assorted babies but these i drew just for fun + i drew a little mitsi :) i like making them tiny! they're so fun to doodle and they're good space fillers! not totally sure who drew that king so sorry if it looks a little different!

i also like drawing little ugly baby birdies :]

selkie au: you've said that maybe the whole "stick alan renames victim" could be possible in this au right? so, victim captures everyone, uses them as hostages so alan complies and then gets renamed. now that they have all the power they need they can take revenge on alan, or so they thought. they try to change some of his code but they... can't! why? spaghetti code! they can't erase the human part of him! i did have more ideas for this but i will write that down on my own blog, but basically, immunity or partial immunity to viruses and glitches! because he wasn't originally made from code! so once again, even if victim has all the power, it was all for nothing. just like in canon.

noogai au: i believe you've once said victim totally would pull a king move after the booth 30 incident. maybe the accident could cause victim to seek the whole name change thing? not really sure how they'd do it, but regardless idk if this was said before BUT imagine that scene of king trying to basically kill purple at the end of avm 30, but it's victim (or h4ck3r?) trying to kill orange. however they get flashbacks to noogai in the booth. maybe noogai can be unconscious after the incident, in a coma or just having a hard time recovering, but the former would mean he wouldn't be able to tell victim that he doesn't want this!

amnesia au: after alan is finally rescued, imagine him walking around aimlessly trying to find victim, maybe even calling out for him. the cg are outside and they just start hearing a faint "victim...! victim...!" coming from the house. they go to check and alan is walking around which he SHOULDN'T be doing during his recovery, but the reason he's up is because 1. he wants to find his "friend" and 2. he thinks he needs more "treatment" (not knowing what that "treatment" was yet). imagine the first signs of him recovering are him remembering orange's name. at first it's "who are you?" and "what's your name again?", but that goes to "you're... orange, right?". eventually, he calls orange "second" unprompted (orange hasn't introduced themselves as "second" during the recovery), signaling that he remembered something on his own and orange starts crying cuz he remembered and he just goes to hug and comfort them, not knowing why. one more scenario: orange was shown to be able to sense when something's wrong, so imagine they get a nightmare about alan forgetting them BEFORE alan gets turned into a stick. they go to alan and ask if he'd ever forget them and alan ofc says "i could never forget my son". later he goes missing and when they finally find him... he doesn't know who orange is. oh my fucking god i just had a HORRIBLY evil idea. you know how some patients have a moment of clarity before they die? like they remember and can walk around like nothing's wrong and shit? imagine that but it happens right before nightshade goes into a coma. you COULD also bring in the spaghetti code in here too maybe... perhaps as an explanation for why his memories keep coming back even after getting erased.

reverse!selkie au (as a treat): imagine the whole h4ck3r thing happens much much earlier, before king becomes a stick. dark and vic see how much that human affected their dad and decide to take revenge, but vic needs a name change to get powers. so, they fool human king into renaming victim to h4ck3r! out of all aus i think this one has the easiest explanation for the whole h4ck3r thing.

sorry for the yap fest, i didn't actually think this would be this long. hope you liked the ideas!

OUGH this is a lot hang on let me break this into pieces

OUGH... YEAH... i like the idea that alan's 'encrypted' code is a boon sometimes! this is very interesting— and yeah, the hostage situation is way more likely to get alan to comply! although i do think it's way more obvious that alan's not got his heart in the fight— this was never what he wanted!! he just wants his kids to be safe :(

OUGH... YEAH... I think it'd only happen if Noogai was severely injured like that, yes! although H4ck3r would have a much easier time destroying minecraft i think! you also have to keep in mind that SC is still their littlest sibling, though, so i think SC could still stop them! however I do want you to consider: what if it was purple and gold stopping Vic instead???

YES YES YES I LOVE ALL OF THIS...... Alan slowly recovering his memories of the others oh my god... the poor sticks when he disappears again and comes back as a husk— and vic being somewhat relieved when he does end up coming out fine— less relieved when he quickly remembers who he is... thinks that one more time will do it, he'll be fixed— but then he just drops into a comatose state... hrgh

i am very normal about how he used his powers like chosen does/did. and how he summoned the weapons from ava 1 to fight Alan. and how he changed the pc to look like the old pc. im incredibly normal :D

YEAAAAAH us and vic are all very very normal :)))))

Imagine this:

Alan becomes a stick before dark gets him. The cg spend time with him, start helping him adjust and then when the showdown is supposed to happen dark, instead of making virabots, kidnaps the guy when no one is at the pc. Maybe they do male virabots but for the purpose of kidnappigln. The cg come back to the pc and alan is just... gone. And he couldn't have gone far because the guy is still adjusting to being a stick! He's nowhere on the pc, time is passing and not a peep from him and the cg don't even know a iur the outernet or about dark and chosen! The only person in this scenario that would actually be able to save alan would be chosen which is where the betrayl that dark felt from chosen (that happened in the showdown) could come from but it would be prolonged

In another scenario you can have dark make alan into a stick and then for the cg alan just leaves one day and never comes back
