"Would you still love me if I was a worm?" Yes. Behold, the Worm AU's humble beginnings. All thanks to a silly convo with @valthecircusclown. Thanks for the brainworms, they live in my skull rent free now.
Basically, in the Worm AU, the creator is a science teacher who happens to have a fishtank full of dirt and a single worm. A kid breaks this worm, so now we have Sunworm and Moonworm
I think you see where this is going.
The worms get peace for a bit, then a kid breaks Moonworm again after he grows back, creating Eclipseworm. Again, further down the line, this horrid kid gets into the worm tank again and breaks Eclipseworm again, creating BloodMoonworm. BloodMoonworm is immediately broken in two, so now we have Bloodworm1 and Bloodworm2
Poor Eclipseworm gets very little time to grow back before he's broken again, this time bringing us Lunarworm, but then Moonworm gets broken again, giving us KCworm
Earthworm is a worm a student dug up on the playground and brought in to class that got put in with the rest of the worm fam
The tank has to be cleaned at some point and fresh dirt given, but while the worms are being removed, our poor Eclipseworm gets broken yet again, and now we have Flareworm
At this point, I imagine Creator/Teacher finally puts some kind of lid on the worm tank to keep kids from being cruel to his worms lol
Ruinworm just happens to be a half dried up after-the-rain sidewalk worm one of his coworkers brought in for Creator lmao
