Love the designs in the new comic! How would Richard's later years look like in the AU?
I actually haven't thought about how the boys would look like or what their lives would be outside of my Humorously Recreating Historical events--especially since the timeline is very compressed so everyone is basically speedrunning 30-40 years of Events in like 1-2 teenage summers lol. I wrote a lot of thoughts below (also going into overthinking of How Burger King Universe even works), TLDR the binary is he'd either be a Dead Teen who rocked out a little too hard and made the wrong random person mad or he'll grow up and become a completely normal guy with no relation or connection at all to the historical Richard the lionheart aside from that tumultuous period, but to do so one has to exit the story I make in my head hahaah
Burger King Edgyverse : In this verse it would prob sort of be one of those really edgy teen narratives that follow the Richard timeline of he goes to the crusade concert, has massive interpersonal drama stemming from the 10000 personal and familial issues that escalates and catastrophizes all the relationships, goes home, tries to fix things, continues to have massive drama, maybe comes close to fixing it but then ends up dying really randomly out of some weird karma situation IDK maybe it's like the legend where some kid who he forgot about HATES him and then idk hit him with their car or smth on Châlus street while he's busy beefing. And then everyone is finally like damn.....he was a hot mess but he did some cool stuff so now we are all going to watch his videos and think Abt his life from another angle recontextualized and we now think he was cool now (PR internet movement gets built up. ). idk I'm a bitch who loves weirdly anticlimactic tragedy so that's one universe.
Kind of is my processing and sticking to the main points of the historical Richard life which always struck me as very Dramatic and almost cyclical, which Is very fun for me. Idk there is something very "cursed" about all the family members and their ends and relationships so following up with that (in a more modern sensibility way) is fun to me.
ALTERNATIVELY:
I also thought about...what if characters in the Bk universe aren't cursed to that eternal return...idk. I had a funny thought earlier like that Geoffrey in BK universe doesn't die, he just becomes self-aware of and chooses to exit bc he's tired of the bullshit hahaa (tv equivalent of actor having to leave the show). In my mind, for the Narrative, some people do have to die, namely in my mind Junior does die in BK universe and shifts the mood from haha sillie goofy conflict to more strained and bitter. After all it IS an AU. Maybe BK Richard can leave being "Richard" timeline behind and be just a guy in an unrelated story who grows up past the predetermined historical event timeline parallels and can be a normal person with average life sort of thing. But that's beyond my scope since I'm mostly interested and focused on reinterpreting specific dynamics in that timeline, and deviating too much is when characters feel less AU and more distant and become different People to me (which would be the point...the historical figure must die for a person to live? Idk.
I know this feels like a weird distinction to make, and prob plenty of ppl probably see my delusions and think it's ALREADY so deviant but its more internal like in my mind I like having specific connections to historical stuff even if it's a weird tangled thread heheh. In general though, all is in good fun.....it's late so I may write later so apologies if this makes no sense at all but thanks for reading this far if u got it hahaah

“23: The ceiling is leaking. Who wants to deal with the apartment manager?”
There is something near magical about pots and pans and assorted vases littering the house of a woman and her girlfriend. Something incredible, like succulents or cacti or elephant ears with Aqua Globes in painted vases so neither the woman nor her girlfriend have to spend time watering the plants each day. They can focus on more important, softer endeavors. Like, just for example, each other.
"The ceiling is leaking." Theodosia says. "There is water all over the damn place."
"It's cuddling weather." Eliza explains, then frowns at the look Theodosia gives her. "I can fix it."
"Eliza," Theodosia says slowly, holding her hands together as if in a silent prayer. "We have to call the apartment manager. She'll send someone out here to fix it, and we won't have to worry about paying-"
"I want to do it." Eliza interrupts, "I can do it."
She really can do it, and she is sure she can. Theodosia knows she can, too, but they should call the apartment manager.
They should, and yet...
"I'll get my toooool belt?" Eliza sings, and Theodosia is sold. "Fine." Theodosia says. "But I know you only have like three things in that belt."
Eliza laughs but doesn't retort. She hurries to their closet to gather things she thinks she will need. She pauses.
Eliza has fixed a lot of things. She has fixed the leg on Peggy's dresser, Angelica's toilet when Alexander flushed God-knows-what down it during a house party, Burr's wall behind his bed which looked as if he'd rammed the frame into the wall more than once, and she had even ace bandaged Thomas's wrist when he jumped the picket fence trying to impress some girls.
She has never fixed a roof or ceiling. She thinks it will be similar to Burr's wall and realizes that means she needs to go to the store. She and Theodosia are not broke, per say, but they definitely cannot afford all that roofing... drywall?
Eliza realizes she is not completely sure what the roof and ceiling are made of. Or how bad it is from outside.
But she has already told Theodosia she can do it.
She looks it up online, then decides that it is better to just call the apartment manager on account of she could accidentally make it worse. It would be bad if they'd be forced to fix it themselves.
She sighs, makes the call, then returns to Theodosia.
Theodosia notices her defeated look, but she smiles softly. "You called the manager, huh?"
"Yeah." Eliza says.
Theodosia takes Eliza's hand, then kisses her knuckles. "You can still wear the belt?" She offers.
Eliza chuckles. "Teddy.."
"Or... It's still cuddling weather." Theodosia says, shrugging, but she is grinning so wide, Eliza can't help but grin, too. "Even if our apartment looks like we're making a bunch of different kinds of soup."
Eliza laughs, warmer. She holds Theodosia, then kisses her head.
Theodosia cranes her neck, standing on her toes to kiss Eliza.
Eliza kisses her, then lifts her to spin. She laughs into the kisses, spinning her a moment then steps in a pot of water on the floor.
Theodosia just laughs, contagious, full of nothing but love. Eliza laughs, too.
“20: Walks in on roommate crying while watching a movie in the living room.”
“What’s wrong?”
James is standing in the doorway of their shared apartment, bag slung over his arm. He is wearing a concerned expression for just a moment, then, noting the T.V. remote next to Lafayette and near empty bag of popcorn on his lap, lets it fade.
Lafayette jumps at first, then cocks his head at the insinuation that something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is great, really, except that Rose let go.
“Rose let go.” Lafayette says, blurting out the first thing that comes to mind. He purses his lips, thinking of a better explanation. “The movie.”
“You’re crying over Titanic?” James asks.
Lafayette is about to retort, then pauses. He smiles a bit, wiping his eyes. He hadn’t realized he’d been crying, but that was of lesser importance. “You have seen Titanic?” He asks.
“Everyone and their mom has seen Titanic.” James explains, walking in and closing the door with a foot. He sets his bag down, then settles next to Lafayette, who has paused the movie. Whether the movie pausing was to cry or because he heard the keys rattling, James doesn’t know. He doesn’t ask.
“I paused the movie to cry.” Lafayette says, like he can read James’s mind, and James lets a little smile crack.
“It’s not that sad.” James says, but Thomas cried over Titanic, too. So did Hercules, and James had to pretend to be empathetic and say, ‘Oh that’s so sad’, so he didn’t look like a hardass.
Lafayette smiles. “It is that sad.” He argues, but his tone isn’t argumentative.
He plops his head onto James’s lap, then groans.
“You laid on the remote didn’t you?” James asks.
“Yes.” Lafayette mumbles, wiggling. He pulls the remote out from under himself, then plays the movie. He pauses, rewinds a bit.
“You want to watch the sad part, huh?” James questions, “Are you a sadist, now?”
Lafayette smiles. “No, but I know you are.”
James lets out a little laugh. He brings a hand down to Lafayette’s head to run his fingers over his hair while Lafayette’s second round of tears wet his jeans.

Please god. Pleaseeee . God damn. The path out is clogged and painful and my body can't take any more. Im dying. There won't be a recovery to look forward to if this keeps up, permanent damage is almost how it feels. I might be paranoid or stupid but im hurting and this is that. I cannot make it let up sort of pain. It hasn't stopped in.............
And I'm completely terrified all the time. The sun is up snd our body feels broken. I have work in 8 hours. I hope i can get a ride. I'm afraid. Everything is unsure. I trust Mitten. I hope some relief is around the corner.
THANK YOU for hitting the nail on the head. Mains are stupid! and unfair.
and i do wanna be clear my opinions on exclusives and mains doesnt mean i wont interact, u shouldnt, or that i now hate you. its a cautionary tale from experience the things i have encountered when interacting with said blogs that practice these things.
Nor do i not understand that on a general basis we all tend to gravitate towards 1 blog or the other. we tend to rp with a few people even if you have thousands of followers you'll always rp with a small group of people, its how the site works.
however now your announcing trhat certain people hold more weight in your lore then others. ur announcing point blank these people are more important even if you intending too its how it feels.
you cant have a system where u tell people straight up. "our rps because you are not a main/exclusive. will no longer have signicant weight on my lore." and not expect to evnetually drift into rping with select people.
imo thats just not a system where it have long potential to not cause uproar in your mutuals. it doesnt feel like a system that has long term growth gain involved nor an intention to expand your lore with everyone.
in a rp people want to feel like their rps have weight
when u do rp with another person and u reference even in background like. "did you hear about the shooting in the bank last week? that shit was crazy.": and u had like a bank robbery with another rper
that rper now gets to go "HOLY SHIT, THEY REFERENCED MY RP IN THIS OTHER RP."that rper gets to go on and feel like their rp had weight
it did something
even if that weight is background lore for another rp.
when u announce mains/exlusives u lose that.
people will feel like that their rps dont matter.
and that comes from both personal and from what i've seen...and the accounts of other people i have talked with.
you cant have a system where some rps have more note weight then others and expect that everyone will be ok with that or it wont upset others. That they didnt join the secret club when they had the chance.
