FAE WEMMEGG FAE WEMMEGG!!! Yuummmm
I noticed that people really liked that one, too LMAO. It's my 2nd biggest post I think, which is really funny, because I vaguely remember being SO high when I wrote that, since it was like 4am and I refuuusssed to sleep 😭
ALSO REVERSE IS SUCH A FIRE IDEA BRO WAIITTTT
So, the whlle debacle with the og twist is: Fae Wemmbu INTENTIONALLY overlooks crucial information he sees useless, right?
He uses the advantages he possesses as a mythical species so that he can forever keep Eggchan, whether it be things like the natural magic that occurs in the woods, or him outright KILLING village residents.
But he DOESN'T tell Eggchan; he basically FORCES Eggchan to figure it out himself, because he thinks that it's only natural. They love eachother, don't they? So why can't he make Eggchan his? And for that same reason, what right does he not have to keep him "safe"?
And that transition happens slowly, and subtly, subtle enough that when Eggchan FINALLY realizes the situation he's in—he can't help but feel little for the casualties he's caused. He's become desensitized to the fae's antics, and while he feels guilty enough to chide Wemmbu and sternly inform him what Eggchan believes is NOT right, it doesn't change the fact that the way he handles it feels a little too dismissive.
Mind you, the MURDER that's been occuring in his HOMETOWN is HIS FAULT. He should be FREAKING OUT, but he isn't. That's when the blur starts to become noteworthy, but it's far too late for Eggchan to withdraw when he's in the centre of it all.
If it were swapped, I think fae Eggchan would be purposely deceitful.
Okay, yeah, fae Wemmbu was misleading. But, to be fair, Eggchan was too ignorant. As someone who initially just wanted to discover more things regarding fae, his focus lied elsewhere, so he didn't have the chance to notice the very obviously placed red flags. He thought that, with Wemmbu's sharp humor, that he was joking. So, look where that brought him?
Fae Eggchan, on the other hand, knows that Wemmbu is clever. So, just so that he gets his way, he becomes a filthy liar. Where Wemmbu says nothing, Eggchan fabricates a story straight to your face, and does it in such a casual mannerism that it feels natural enough to become reality.
In this AU, I think Wemmbu would be a hunter. With the news of a fae taking residence nearby, the village has been in disarray. As a result, a bounty was arranged, and Wemmbu's greedy ass went STTRRAAAIGHT for it 😭
After a bit of detective work, he didn't really find anything aside the typical "oh, a fae came into our woods, and a villager went missing. It must be the fae's fault!" Which does sound like a bunch of speculation, but faes are known to be a pretty troublesome creatures. It'd be better to assume that it was related, rather than have an aneurysm trying to handle two considerably concerning issues at once, and Wemmbu was only here for the fas, after all.
Furthermore, he's already getting a headache trying to locate this damned fae. When you enter the more paranormal section of the woods, it's as if the woods themselves are trying to misguide you; it was a terrible combo to dense mist and the subtle whispers in his head, telling his gut to retreat.
There's a genuine point where Wemmbu sees a dancing light. Hopeful, he chases it down, and the light responds with running away. By the time he nearly catches it, it dissolves out of his hand and he finds himself stumbling to where he can see the roofs of the village in the distance. He was back. It was a will-o-wisp, aaalllways wanting to fuck him over!
Frustrated, he promptly returns back for the night.
And in the distance, white-haired fae watches, chuckling with amusement.
I don't know what the crowd would think of this, but I have an idea where Eggchan initially disguises himself as a village resident, and makes a faux scenario where he meets Wemmbu. It lasts for quite a while, and Eggchan ensures Wemmbu stays by deliberately toying with him as a fae. Although he doesn't really wanna bother, or even acknowledge the villagers, he also traps a few in the maze of the forest. This leads to a few deaths, whether it be through animals or starvation. He becomes more and more of a problem so that Wemmbu stays longer.
That said, it isn't long before some villagers notice the anomaly within their village. After all, Eggchan is not theirs. They do not know him, no matter how much he insists he's the owner of a cottage a little further into the woods. That just makes things more suspicious, no?
It becomes a whole situation, and Wemmbu insists that that's not the case. That ANNOYING fae is too much of a sly asshole to be his cool, funny, and pretty roommate (and they were (temporarily) roommates 🥹).
And. Icl guys. Im already getting tired asf 😭😭😭
Long story short, Eggchan goes missing, and it results in a "Parrot... I am Wifies." situation. (YES fae Eggchan is genuinely just director Wifies. YES actually isn't any less different than fae Wemmbu. It's just that fae Wemmbu is more straightforward, and kills those he deems as threats. Fae Eggchan is a LOT more roundabout, not wanting to get bloody, and just letting his victims kill themselves by finding their shittiest trait and honing it (either that or he just. Yk. Drags them in the forest and leaves them stranded with a bit of magic)
(At the same time, Wemmbu desperately believing that Eggchan isn't the fae is also kinda Princezam-ish, where Wemmbu insisted that Princezam didn't have any malicious intentions during Wemmbu civ #1)
