#poly crashers

can finally put this somewhere LOL

Yep. This is the Au I've been mulling over for some time now lol. Inspired by The Greatest Showman mostly, but also from other stories and fandoms I'm in.

The gist of it would be that Nick, after losing most of his family's money on gambling, he's kicked out and disinherit him, forcing him to live a life on the streets as a petty thief and, later on, as the best darts player in one of the local pubs.

One day, the Crasher Circus comes to town, and ringmaster Tox visits the pub after hearing people talk about that guy who no one can beat at darts. He sees Nick's mastery and, while the Pub's closing for the day, Tox appraoches Nick and offers him a position as a knife juggler and knife thrower. Nick's not impressed and declines, but Tox gives him a ticket for next day's show anyways.

Having nothing better to do, Nick goes to the show, and he's not really that impressed until he notices three particular performers: a magician that is more of a clown, with his tricks backfiring on him but still making the crowds cheer and laugh; a skillfull aerial artist doing feats on silks that were believed humanly impossible; and a cheerful strongman cladded in pink and sweet clothing (something awakes inside of Nick when he sees that pink "delicate" boy having huge biceps and lifting weights nearing on the Tons without breaking a sweat lmfao).

So, after the show he goes backstage and straight to Tox's tent (ignoring the complains of the artist and strongman) and accepts his offer, takes the name TCN (Throwing Champion Nick) and officialy becomes part of the Crasher Circus family.

There'd be scenes like the typical thing of "new guy finds it hard to fit in with the crowd" with Nick and the other circus members not vibing much at first, having heartfelt moments with each of the crashers and learning their backstories... Maybe Leo or mustard man (have to give him a name lmfao) or both could make an appeareance and cause trouble for Tox and the circus reputation... someone from Nick's family finds him and tries to get him to go back after Nick's made a name of his own with the Circus... stuff like that lmao.

And also misc. fluff scenes: Nick eating and almost chocking when Vern lifts him up (chair and all) to clean, Sophist trying to impress Brent with one of his new tricks only for the pidgeon to peck his nose, Brent trying to teach Nick basic gymnastic and Nick ends up lying in pain on the floor after 10 minutes, etc.

vernias is the touchiest of all of them, and initiates contact the most

vern also loves giving forehead kisses, and will tilt the others’ faces down to do so

brent is the least touchy, but the most clingy

he also enjoys fidgeting with their fingers (all of them do this to some extent, but he does it the most)

sophist has trouble initiating contact, but he is touch-starved and really enjoys it

(they catch on eventually and start being more intentional with their contact)

nick is the most likely to initiate a kiss

all of them enjoy having their hair played with

sophist gets anxious about subconsciously having favorites

brent is very very comfortable around his partners, and is very very uncomfortable around everyone else

both brent and eevee space out often staring at the other two (and at each other)

brent Observes, sophist Stares

brent does not change his behavior at all since dating, besides cuddles and a few more joke opportunities

nick is the only one who gets jealous, and just kind of stews in it for a while before somebody catches on and (lovingly) tells him that he's being stupid

vern is really good at flirting and will make it his life goal to fluster the others

"I hate you."

"If anything, you being a Wormias would make him your leader."

New Traditional Draft Vgen Comm done for @deaddovecrashers!

This only applies to the pc rpf community. As such, the entries on here are going to be leaning more towards "shippable moments", though there are still a few "normal" answers. Be advised if you share this outside of the rpf community (for everyone's safety, only share within the rpf community)!

The bingo cards may only be blotted during their livestreams (or using the VODs if you miss it and someone generously saves it). While I might do a separate one just for the videos they make during this time frame (of them all meeting up together), I figured for now, it would be best to just do it for the streams.

Try to see how many bingos you can get before the end of the streaming! If you can get a full blackout... (I uh... haven't thought through a prize other than just satisfaction... and bragging rights!)

I only have the ability to make 30 bingo cards, so you may end up getting the same as someone else. Just to let you all know.

Here's the link if you all would like to play along!
