I was answering to Yu's answer to my ask and it got me thinking.

If our OCs were actual characters in the game and the fandom could interact with them and write for them and in general make fan-content for them... How do you think they'd misunderstand them the most? And what are some headcanons that you would despise or on the contrary love?

Aka Cat!Beneath the Sands AU.

The fluffy thing was weird. It felt soft beneath his paws but not quite like fur and it smelled like too many things at once. It made his nose itch.

(Caladin would later learn this is called a "rug.")

He had been picked up by the odd green Twoleg and had been staying in their Den for a few days now. He was certainly still wary of them- them and the other brightly colored Twolegs that came around sometimes. But they had been gentle with him.

He would admit that this soft den was much better than the wet box he'd been sleeping in, and the food was very tasty. There were other cats, but Caladin was only familiar with the one who'd "picked him up" with the Twoleg, Valerian. He was relatively respectful- allowing Caladin space to adjust and answering questions. There were apparently at least two other cats- Sobeknesef, grumpy but quiet, and Jiahui, who was recovering from losing part of her leg.

Caladin felt sorry for her. She slept a lot. He'd tried bringing her a squirrel once. The green Twoleg had taken it away and replaced it with one of the tasty things that didn't look like food.

Well. He tried.

Now he was sitting next to Valerian on the smelly, fluffy thing. Sun high made them all sleepy. The bengal was all splayed out in a sunny spot while Cal sat up straight, watching. And waiting.

-

"Hey- Val...? What the fuck, dude. When did you get so many cats- and-" Caladin paused, squinting at the collars around the necks of the bengal and mau.

"Did you name your cats after us????" The blonde snorted, expression both amused and mildly bewildered as he glanced over at his friend.

Feel free to add onto this with your OCs. I was just thinking of a little silly modern AU in which Valerian adopts Cats and names them after his friends :3

Cecilia: why is the Alkhulud's thermostat set to 90 at all times???

Jiahui: i dont know, ask the croc. Its his ship

Aidos: he needs to be heated or else he starts to freeze from the inside out, literally . Some sort of concoction gone wrong a few years ago or smth that still effects him

Cecilia: well tell him to wear a sweater then! Im boiling alive! [Reaches for thermostat]

Sobeknesef, from halfway across the ship like a psychic father: is someone touching the thermostat?

Sobeknesef, remembering that his crewmates arent reptiles like him and cant handle consistent heat: OH SHIT- 0-0;

So uhhh I got just a tad bit excited that my boy Quay appeared in a flashback in the Beneath the Sands campaign (written and hosted by @unrealistic-ideas-for-writers, who also made the adapted version of the Huanglong map) in which the crew consults him about how best to travel to the desert, sooo.... I voice acted and animated his dialogue. 🤣 I just made a couple of tiny changes to match my IRL speech patterns KGHDK 😂

Featuring appearances from Valerian (@uncreative-cryptid), Rover, and Jiahui (@hobbysognodilibri)

I hope you enjoy it! It was a fun little project to work on in between other tasks for a couple of days 😆

valerian: this is supposed to get the temperature of an area from a distance (hands her the contactless thermometer)

jiahui: (takes valerian's temp and makes a shocked face)

valerian: what??? what is it???
