Your wish is my command >=]!! I'll talk about the AU that's absolutely taken over my mind ever since I made it. My Techum AU!
In this AU the survivors work at a [modern-ish] company owned and created by Wagstaff, Voxola, specializing in tech and strange inventions. Of course with a focus on the strange power of the moon. Connected to almost every electronic in the facility is the highly complex ""A.I"" WX-78. They assist with everything from printing documents, to organization, and most of all, coordination between them all. At least that's the idea, but in reality, it's WX so they constantly bully the employees and complain about everything from printing copies of documents they know were already made, to messy desktop files and such. Evil little super computer who calls you names and laughs at you when the printer doesn't work. Also whines when you make a mess on the keyboard and particularly hates any smudges left on the monitors; they can feel those, you know! Are you eating? IS THAT LIQUID NEAR THEM?! Classic WX stuff-
They usually express themselves via a little avatar in the corner of the monitors, think like Clippy, with a little speech bubble to tell someone they're an idiot or even a txt file if they really want the lesson to stick. Though their real form is a bit more intimidating than their digital version. Their server room large and filled to the brim with wires. Plenty of wires to strangle and/or entangle hug anyone who steps inside. Or trip Wagstaff on his way to his office.
They can also move the wires as they please, disconnect them, etc. Though they do have to be cautious cause some wires are more important than others of course. They also feel any and all touches to the wires, screens and tech they're attached to. Though they can switch between what computers they inhabit [can't be in two computers at once] they feel any and all things done in the server room since it's their real "body". Also can inhabit basically any tech plugged into the outlets of the building.
Of course, Wormwood joins the company and ends up being a massive pain in WX-78's virtual ass. Since he's not super great with computers and WX is very old tech by modern standards. They can't even run modern Minecraft. WX feels like they've been put on babysitting duty since Wormwood ends up taking more of their time than the other staff but Wormwood is so, SO endeared by his little computer friend! Very quickly realizing WX is very much alive and not just the result of some 'advanced programming'. WX decides Wormwood's admiration and naivety [in their eyes at least] is in fact, endearing and a little human pet wouldn't be awful to have as company. Particularly since it is useful to have humans around when you can't really move or navigate the world on your own. Or clean your dusty ass cables without them too-
And that's the AU!! At least the basics, I'm sure Wagstaff isn't thrilled about his super computer falling in love and doesn't think this will end well for WX… I imagine the story with Woodrow here would be they tried to transfer their mind into the supercomputer, it failed, they died, and WX came to life. [I don't personally view/hc Woodrow & WX as the same person fyi!] Then after WX showed signs of being kinda traumatized from waking up to a dead guy, Wagstaff and them decided to move those memory files to needing admin permissions to access, effectively wiping WX's memory of the incident. Could loosely string together a story from all that but really, I made this AU cause I just love the idea of Wormwood falling in love with a silly robot on his computer. Kissing the monitor and then having to wipe them down, being intimidated when he first sees WX's server room and WX falling in love with this dumb human, looking at Wormwood through the webcam and recording him to store memories for later. WX's fans running louder when Wormwood approaches and being an annoying little robot who spams pop up errors when they want more attention. Also the fun angst you could get with WX not being able to move to follow Wormwood out of the building and how lonely and underappreciated being a big super computer is.
Shout out to my partner @roddy-scribbles who did the wonderful art for this post and know I'm super excited to talk more about my WXWood AUs and ideas on here!! Also shout out to the awesome objectum & techum community on here! A lot of those kind of posts inspired me and I've loved those corners of the internet for a while. WXWood finally gave me an excuse to create more art centered around those kinda things and I'm taking it cause I love tech and I love my puter <3! I will post about this au again, probably a lot if I'm being honest but somehow I think ppl will be okay with that!! Thanks for reading!! [♡]
