[creature-featurez]

If u have any extra reader and captor lore…haiii

idk who sent this but also haiii

So in the last ask i kinda covered mainly up to her finding out about Reader's existence and deciding to kidnap them. Essentially, the captor is a religious zealot and since Reader is a Golbeast, she thinks she is the only person qualified to "care" for one of Golb's creations, and that doing so will put her closer to Golb and more in his favor.

So she kidnaps Reader in an incident that leaves Simon horribly wounded because of Reader's curse (they attack him under the influence of the captor) and in the ruckus the captor makes off with Reader. The captor then lies and tells Reader that Simon was scared of them and isn't coming to save them, and while Reader doesn't believe this initially, they eventually do begin to as the days of captivity turn into months.

Meanwhile the captor is kind of just treating Reader like a fun exotic pet, and since all of her friends are humans who are kind of new to the way other sapient creatures in Ooo work (remember, the captor isn't a human but wants to fit in among them), they're just kind of like "ohh, that's a... cute pet. Haha kinda weird." Reader has to wear a muzzle it's crazay.

Reader ends up bonding with the captor over time in a fucked up way that really isn't healthy so by the time Simon and co. save them + the captor dies in the scuffle, it doesn't feel like a victory. Reader struggles to go back to normal, and while they're happy to find out that Simon was looking for them and to be back with him, they also grieve the captor like losing a friend. (They don't feel this way towards the captor anymore by Arc 3 tho, but they also don't like talking about the captor or the night of the fire that killed them.)

Might turn this into a general OC account instead of Just being for self-inserts… feel free to send any questions about any of my guys..

[creature-featurez]

I SAW UR REBLOG i wanna know like. how does the immortal/mortal thing manifest or do they just not think Ab it...

HELLO!! sorry this is late again..

I'd say for the most part they try not to think about it. For a bit of canon context, at one point Simon is eaten by Golb (pre-betty fusing with him) and that's how he becomes freed from the crown's curse, as whatever is eaten by Golb is then slowly digested via being reverted through time until they no longer exist. So Simon is reverted to just before putting on the crown. In my AU, this fact, on top of him being a previous magic-user and having traces of magic still clung onto him, makes Simon age a bit slower than most humans. While he thinks he's in his late 50's he actually "physically" only in his mid to late 40's, and even then the magic is keeping him relatively younger, as well. However, his age does eventually catch up with him, and while Reader, Simon, and Betty try not to think about it, it does become apparent at some point that he is going to die. Betty and Reader will outlive him at some point, and continue living forever after that. (Note: Reader can be killed still, just can't die of old age/has a buffed immune system. Betty is basically a god though and can't really die unless she chooses to.)

Obviously this is very hard on all of them, but another factor is that Simon is kind of insecure about being so much older than his partners. Both Reader and Betty are perpetually stuck at the ages they were both "cursed", so their mid and late 30's respectively, while Simon keeps aging. He feels like an old man, and like they deserve someone younger and not as old and weary. Of course this is ridiculous and his partners love him, but anxiety will be anxiety.

Reader and Betty are pretty fine with being immortal outside of losing Simon. It's weird, but they've been through weirder, and Reader at least has had 200 years to process it.

can we know more ab the witch like what was her ISSUE??? i mean her issue is being adventure time version of catholic but u know....any lore crumbs

sorry that i'm only answering this almost a week later... (ant bindle image) i wanted to try to flesh out a bit more for this ask but if i put off answering it any longer it will just never get done LMAO so i promise i wasn't ignoring you

ANYWAYS to answer your question... a lot

I still need to come up with a name for her but essentially the witch/captor is a middle-aged/older woman who is insanely rich and posh. She's a semi-humanoid species, much like Reader, but she was never human. I haven't decided exactly what her design looks like but I know I want it to be pseudohuman to parallel Reader.

You'll come to learn that I have yet to develop her solidly LMAO bc a lot of this stuff is just vague ideas but essentially my biggest idea for her rn is that she might have lost someone when she was younger, someone special to her. In her grief, she tried to find any way of getting them back or avenging them, and eventually found herself worshipping Golb. I'm a biiiit iffy to go with this story only because there is a canonical character like this in the show already, but I think I can make it work. They're very different characters personality-wise and motivation-wise by the end of their arcs.

Over time, she becomes more enamored with the Power that Golb can bring her rather than actually trying to make peace with her loved one. She gets deeper into studying chaos magic and worshipping Golb and performing magical rituals. By the time she's in the modern year, she's built up a pretty good wealth and reputation for herself, especially among the new humans who have recently moved back to the mainland after ~1000 years. She has like this weird longing to be a human so she surrounds herself with them by inviting them to fancy dinners and balls, though really they just kind of view her as another weird denizen of modern Ooo.

Eventually, she finds out about Reader existing and realizes that they are a beast of legend, a Golbeast, and she decides that she needs to capture and tame them like an exotic pet. After all, her god would want her to care for his blessed creature, right?

Essentially, she started out with an actual mission but became corrupted by power and insecurity, and now she is actually more unhinged than anything else.

creachur....

[creature-featurez]

sorry that post is a beast i have pronblems

[creature-featurez]

omg can i know ab betty and simon bc i also have one with like multiple parties at once im curious...

hello!!! sorry this took forever to answer (and for the... absolute novel that is the answer) this is surprisingly a very loaded question LMAOOO also sorry if i misinterpreted the question... i realized halfway through that you may have been asking something completely different...

putting under a [read more] to avoid being a terribly long post on the dash

First, I know you don't have a lot of knowledge on Adventure Time lore (at least I think..) so I'll probably be going on several smaller tangents and explanations of things so that the rest of what I explain makes sense. :3 If I get off topic, that's proooobably why. Second, the first "arc" of Reader's (my oc for anyone new here) story is heavily inspired by this fic, though I am currently rewriting it to be a bit more separate, and all of the later arcs are completely original. I like giving credit where credit is due, however.

OKAY! So now back to the actual question LMAO

In Adventure Time, there is a great war among humans somewhere in the 90's-2000's. It's a nuclear war that wipes out most of humanity and leaves a lot of radioactivity around, essentially creating an apocalypse for any surviving humans. In my au, this war takes place sometime in the late 90's. The seeds for Reader and Simon being in a relationship exist as early as the early 90's, though circumstances regarding the both of them being unable to further their education together prevent it from ever really going anywhere. Reader (who is still female presenting) struggles to keep up in the very male dominated field of anthropology and archaeology in the 90's while Simon easily finds his footing in doctorate programs. (He's cis in this au sorry Simon.. it just makes the most narrative sense.) Reader eventually loses contact with Simon as they drift away from each other and this is around the time that Reader goes missing, finding an ancient shrine and making a deal with a deity to survive the upcoming war. This is about 3 years before the nuclear fallout from the war. Meanwhile, Simon and Betty have met and the canon events of Fionna & Cake / Adventure Time are playing out for them! They find the Enchiridion (a magic book Simon was looking for to prove his studies on magical relics isn't bullshit), fall in love, get engaged, and this is around the time Simon loses contact with Reader. And then Reader's family reaches out to Simon. Reader has been missing and no one can find them. Betty comforts Simon during this time, but there isn't really much anyone can do. Eventually Simon finds the crown and becomes cursed, and Betty time travels 1000 years into the future to help save him like in the show. And we're back with Reader! Who accidentally overslept surviving the war by 800 years. They wake up and realize very quickly that they are (1) no longer human and (2) definitely not in the 20th century anymore... After a while they also learn they are immortal. About 200 years later, Reader is a successful healer, using 20th century medical practices and whatever they can find in centuries old texts. They've gotten quite the reputation as many families have been using their practice for generations, and rumors have spread that they can cure even curses (much to Reader's chagrin). This is when Betty, who is now going insane desperately trying to save Simon, visits their shop. Of course, when Betty learns that Reader can't, in fact, cure curses, she's pissed. They get into a big fight and Betty is banned from Reader's shop. The two don't interact again by the time Betty actually does save Simon from being cursed as the Ice King, and Reader never puts 2-and-2 together. To make a very long explanation a very short one, Betty saves Simon by fusing with a chaos deity named Golb, becoming Golbetty. She then returns to this void between universes, leaving Simon once again mortal but now all alone. 12 years later, Simon and Reader reconnect! They slowburn fall in love, but Simon isn't really over Betty, esp when it comes to wanting to save her. Simon is trying to reach Golbetty through an ancient shrine, but Reader is completely unaware of this. Reader is left in the dark when it comes to a lot about Betty, actually, but respects Simon's privacy. The two of them settle into life together after reconnecting after 1000 years, both having long accepted the other died in the 90's, and things seem okay for the most part...

WE'VE HIT ARC 2 WHO CHEERED

Okay so things aren't all that okay. Turns out becoming a weird pseudohuman fucks with your self-image and connection to humanity, who would have thunk! This isn't anything new for Reader, who already associated their being nonbinary/transmasc with being turned into a creature shortly upon settling in the Land of Ooo (tho: author's note, they were always nonbinary, it's just hard to accept that when you're already struggling to make a life for yourself in a male dominated career in the 90's. Reader is mega-coping.) But reconnecting with Simon kind of made it... worse. Sure, Simon was cursed for a while but he got out of it mostly human, where Reader is very much not human. They find themself comparing how they once were to how they are now and feeling inadequate for Simon. Simon tries his best to help, but there's only really so much he can do. Things only get worse when a witch comes along who claims to know exactly what kind of creature Reader is. Reader is a golb-beast, a rare (often only thought to be mythical) creature created by being cursed, or in some interpretations blessed, by Golb. Reader is the only one of their kind known in existence, and this witch worships Golb. Knowing magic, she is able to manipulate Reader's curse so that they attack Simon, almost killing him, and in the chaos of everything she kidnaps Reader. The captor (I need to name her..) has a mansion that is decorated with statues and artwork of Golb, think Catholic cathedrals, and she initially locks Reader in the basement where she has a dungeon of sorts. She's kind of really fucked up and treats Reader like an exotic pet she tamed rather than a sentient human and even goes as far as to only let them eat raw meat it's crazy. Reader keeps up hope that Simon will come for them but the captor tells them (a lie) that Simon ran away from them when they attacked him. He's scared of Reader being a beast and won't be coming back for them. While Reader doesn't believe this at first... the longer they're trapped the more doubt starts to set in. Meanwhile Simon is actually losing his mind trying to find Reader after healing from his wounds, but to little avail. It takes months before he even gets a real lead. Eventually he is able to rescue Reader but in the chaos a fire starts. A statue of Golb falls and crushes the captor, killing her instantly while Reader watches. It should feel good but... Reader is emotionally crushed. It takes them a long time to get used to being back in the normal world again. There's a lot more I didn't cover here bc it isn't too important to Reader and Simon specifically, but there's a lot Reader has to overcome. This entire situation really sets them back on feeling human and accepting themself as they are. This time, Simon can't even seem to really help them when they're at their worst.

(continued in a reblog bc apparently i flew too close to the sun with this post...)

Arc 3 time? Arc 3 time.

This is one of the less developed arcs so please bare with me. While I'm still working out several of the details, this is the arc in which most of the events of Fionna & Cake canon will happen. Remember how I mentioned Simon isn't completely over Betty? Yeah no he fucks up big time. This is the (almost) divorce arc as Simon almost completely ruins his relationship with Reader due to his desperation to reach Betty again, though mainly because he's keeping secrets from Reader while doing so and putting himself in danger by doing crazy ass rituals. While I haven't worked out a lot of details yet, Reader and Simon do eventually end up on a multiverse-hopping adventure to escape the Scarab, a god auditor who is pissed that people keep fucking up the multiverse (we'll get to that). During one of these multiverses, they reach the Winter King world. The Winter King is immediately shocked to see Reader. Though they are much, much different from how he remembers his Reader (being turned into a creature and being trans will do that to a guy) he still recognizes them, and immediately accepts Simon and Reader to stay in his kingdom until they can figure out the next steps in their adventure.

Meanwhile, a winged harpy-like beast has been terrorizing the kingdom for the better part of a century, and they make their present known. Meet Winged Reader (their name is also just Reader but to make things easier for explanation purposes, Winged Reader and Creature Reader will be how I differentiate the two.) Winged Reader and Winter King both have no idea who the other is in terms of who they were before their respective curses, and if anything they both see each other as an annoyance. Winged Reader will hunt on kingdom land, kill ice scouts for fun, and makes deals with the mortal enemy of the Winter Kingdom, the Candy Queen, just to piss Winter off. Meanwhile Winter threatens to arrest Winged if they ever catch them and clip their wings. When Winged and Creature end up meeting, Winter King suddenly realizes who Winged really is. His Reader has been right under his nose this entire time. He immediately tries to apologize and reconnect, but Winged Reader doesn't see how their old lives make any difference. If anything, this weird friendly Winter King is rather off-putting and annoying. I'll probably go deeper into their relationship at some point but just know that all of this is happening while Creature and Simon are having like... the worst pre-divorce road trip in the history of pre-divorce road trips.

They eventually leave the Winter World and keep universe hopping for a bit. Again, this is where things are a little under-developed, but eventually they reach Golbetty. They're able to bring her back in a humanoid form and, while he may not entirely deserve it, Reader forgives Simon and they make very, very awkward amends. Of course, Betty doesn't exactly have anywhere to stay, so she stays with Reader and Simon. Before this, however, Reader does take a moment to snap at Betty. After all, it's her time traveling as Golbetty that made them an immortal creature in the first place. And if she was truly watching over them and Simon, why did she let them be kidnapped and tortured in Arc 2. Why didn't she help them. Golbetty apologizes, saying that there is only so much chaos magic can do, even as a god, and she tried to show she was watching out for Reader by using the chaos of the mansion fire and killing the captor with the statue. Eventually it is worked out that Simon is still very much in love with the both of them. Reader gives him their blessing and the world's most awkward polycule is formed! Reader dating Simon, Simon dating Betty, and Betty and Reader avoiding each other at most every turn. Eventually, Betty makes the first move. Simon is away on a work related thing and that leaves Betty and Reader home alone together for a couple of weeks. (Simon is actually very worried about this but he's being very brave LMAO) There's already a bit of tension between Reader and Betty as they get to know each other and realize why Simon fell in love with the other, but Reader will never make the first move, scared of ruining what stability they've all seemed to find. So, Betty has to take the reins and by the time Simon comes home, he finds them curled up on the sofa together, Reader purring like a cat (literally, they can purr).

They're inseparable after this, and Betty and Reader end up making quite a mischievous pair. Of course, there is always the ever present issue of Simon being a mortal and Reader and Betty being immortal, but for now they’re all in love and together again. It took 1000 years, two curses, a chaos deity, and breaking the laws of the universe, but it all worked out for them. So far…. Always subject to change.
