AO3 series (click this its a link teehee) | MINORS GO AWAY THIS AINT FOR YALL JKHJGH | lupin III jacket AU number 175674 | this au is p much just my fucked up little sandbox for gore n stuff
Lupin the second stole a stone that cursed the family and those close to them with immortality, but it comes with a cost. Strange creatures called Anomalies torment and kill those who are cursed, with the encounters getting worse the more the cursed die, on top of the stone influencing the cursed to act as the worst versions of themselves.
So now Lupin and the gang have to track down his father and return the stone, the catch being that Lupin hasn't spoken to or seen him in at least a decade.
time for the gang to suffer 👍
feel like i should prolly list out everything that inspired either major or minor events in this au or just. inspired it in general lol
go check out everything listed here NOW!!!!!!
-world of horror (massive inspo tbh and will most likely be obvious if you play it)
-utopia
-backrooms and other liminal stuff
-skinamarink (i personally havent watched it fully yet but the theming is great)
-glorious (havent been able to watch fully yet bc theres vomit smh)
-lavender jacket au and the zombie au both by @dukeswonderousmenagerie (since most deaths and ideas here are unused ideas i gave for those aus)
-args and analog horror like the sun vanished, local 58, gemini home entertainment and probably others im forgetting right now
hello im here to talk about lupin eating dirt (this was originally a scrapped concept i gave for one of dukeswonderousmenagerie's aus, ty loopspoop for giving idea fuel teehee)
tw for body horror and the concept of bugs living inside someone's body
ok SO this anomaly is literally just. brainworms KJHJGH
it kinda functions how the curse influencing does but just. worse bc its slowly taking over their brain (and everything else) JKHGJFH
it works in stages (using lupin as the example for it)
first stage he just seems kinda sick, he sleeps longer, spaces out n forgets what hes doing more often and generally has less energy
second stage hes exhausted really and spends most of his time in bed (since his body is trying to fight the entity off as if it was an infection or smthn so that really saps his energy) he gets really spacey, like so unfocused that half the time he doesnt even respond when being talked to. despite this he will occasionally get up and be found just. standing in corners staring at nothing or be found wide awake at night just laying there in the dark with his eyes wide open
then theres a small space between the second and third stage where hes p much in a coma for 1-3 days while the entity fully takes over
and then in stage three hes completely gone and the spooky behavior ramps up teehee
his eyes are glazed over and lifeless, he cant talk aside from quiet humming noises, he'll scratch at his skin until he bleeds n often scratches at walls n other surfaces until his nails break, and he seems to just. develop pica out of nowhere
he'll literally go outside at like 4 am and start digging into the ground with his bare hands and eat handfuls of dirt, then later puke up an odd mix of blood, live worms, anything else he mightve eaten and the aforementioned dirt.
the live worms are the interesting part, bc if he did happen to eat any, theyd be dead from either chewing or yknow. stomach acid.
no the worms he pukes up are literally the ones that took over his brain, like. theyre breeding inside him and infesting his other organs and turning him into a (barely) living nest. the ones infesting his stomach just happen to get puked up with the random stuff he eats
in less than a week after entering the third stage the worms are infesting literally every single organ in his body, theyre nesting inside his lungs, intestines and even his heart. theyre even managing to get into his veins
when jigen finally puts him out of his misery, the worms seemingly panic and leave his corpse in mass. the sight of what seems like thousands of worms crawling out of lupin's mouth, nose and even escaping via the bullet wound almost makes jigen sick
luckily all of the worms leave before lupin revives so he isnt infected again, but they still move to a different hideout since jigen is pretty sure the worms had gotten into the walls-

lupin and zeni hiding in a closet from an anomaly teehee
just. lupin trembling and hyperventilating in his arms as zeni scrambles to help without making too much noise
they end up gently shifting so that zeni's back is to the door with lupin in his lap, so that if something does get in hed be shielding lupin from it
and he just. holds him as close as he can, whispering to him that its gonna be alright and that hes safe
