Ask blog for a post-Lego Movie 2 AU, where Rex and Emmet now share a body! (Emmet's speech is "in quotation marks," and Rex's speech is *bolded*.) 🦖 👷 Run by brickowskibois/forever-a-goat-kid 👷‍♂️🦖 To read in order, you're gonna need to use desktop/browser version, and use this link: https://askbrickowski.tumblr.com/tagged/EBRD%20au/chrono

It's my 4 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Why are you so stressed Rex?

[askbrickowski]

Hey, I think the word you're looking for instead of 'out' is 'fronting!' Since whoever's face is out 'front' is the one speaking aloud and controlling you guys' body? It's used by people with DID, but I believe it applies to your situation well, too!

“Oh, is that so? That’s cool! “I mean, that term definitely makes sense! But uhm, I don’t want to use a term that belongs to a certain group, not unless they’re okay with us using it? Thank you for suggesting it, though!”

[askbrickowski]

Hey Rex, why do you always seem to have bags under your eyes??

"Maybe you'd sleep better if you were the one, uh, 'out' when we go to sleep?"

Ah, don't worry about it.

[askbrickowski]

This is part 2/2! See part 1 here!

"Yep! That's the first and last time we were almost caught!!"

We are so damn lucky that the diversion Jeff made was stealing her glasses.

"I think we still need to get him that catnip... We really do owe him big."

But, yeah! Going to visit the raptors is a regular thing now. I take them to go play in a "dog park" while in disguise. Those guys really are my second family... I don't know what I'd do without them.

[askbrickowski]

"I don't mind either way!!"

[askbrickowski]

"Okay! I'll finish up the story! Only got one little bit to tell to finish it up after all!"

[askbrickowski]

Yes it's still on! It's good to hear from you guys again!!

[askbrickowski]

"... Is this thing still on?"

[askbrickowski]

Hey all!

I hate to be making a post like this, because it seems attention seeking, but...

I guess you could call this an interest check.

A lot has changed for me in the past year, but my love for this au remains, even if I haven't made anything for it in a long time. I have a whole story planned, and things I wanna touch on... Basically I still would be willing to continue this.

I got a lot of other ideas I could be working on, but I still love this one. I guess what I'm asking is, do other folks still love this idea? Are y'all still interested in me continuing this blog? I could set aside some other stuff and put this at a higher priority if you guys are genuinely invested after all this time.

Thanks all, you're great 💕

[This blog is not dead!!!

I'm working on drawing the next post, I'm sorry it's taking so long, I've been very distracted by other projects...

But I still love EBRD very much and I have so much more planned!!!]

[askbrickowski]

can i just say that as someone who's part of a plural system myself i LIVE for AUs like this. it's looking great!!!

[Oh golly, thank you so much!! Your praise really means a lot... This ask blog is the biggest project I've ever worked on, so seeing so many people enjoying it and thinking I'm doing it well is really what keeps me going ówò]

[askbrickowski]

So I know you two are keeping this a secret for now, but have you had any close calls of people finding out?

"Not really, not that I can rem--"

Ah, no, there was one time.

"... Ohhh, yeah, I remember that!!

"It was only a few days after I had gotten Rex back!

"I noticed that he was feeling a little homesick for the Rexcelsior, and I had an idea how to help--"

1/2

Part 2/2 here!

[askbrickowski]

It's ok Rex. You guys take as long as you need! We're having fun talking to you anyway!

"We're making progress! I'm really proud of how far Rex has already come, I know things are gonna be okay!"

[askbrickowski]

Rex is right. The shirts do look cooler! But maybe you guys could buy him his own to cut up so Emmet can keep his sleeved ones?

[askbrickowski]

Rex don't cut Emmet's shirts, thats not nice.

[askbrickowski]

Rex, please be nice to Emmet!

[askbrickowski]

You two hung out with, or gotten any advice from GCBC yet? If so, has it been helpful?

"Back when I first had the idea to try and bring Rex back, Cops was the first--and only--person I went to to talk about it. And a good thing too! He was a huge help in figuring out what to do... I think he deserves quite a bit of the credit for Rex's return.

Since then he's even been helping me reacclimate Rex to social interaction! We've been getting together every Tuesday and Thursday for Cards and Coffee, as I like to call it! Haha!"

"It's nice to have someone we can trust with this."
