NOTES
@flotsambottle (sorry I probably spelled the names wrong) (I had to include any thing with cheese, and it falling being the last words of a boy in trivium class so I wrote this. with the editing help of a homie who doesn’t have tumblr or she does and she isn’t telling me so I am trying to credit her for helping to edit)(this is also inspired by @isnezzed and their video tribute to seven.)(The reason why I am using flotsambottle’s names is because I needed names for the character and to be more poetic. also so the teacher doesn’t kill me over the numbers as names)
Story
One day I was playing in the playroom with my friend. We were building little objects out of paper. I made a plane and Ren made a boat. He was so proud of himself and looked upon it fondly. Thoughts ran rampant in my head until eventually they spilled out.
“Hey Ren,” I spoke.
“Yeah?”
“Have you ever wondered what happens after we die?”
Ren went silent, and hesitated before responding with, “You forget everything.”
After hearing those words I didn’t want to die. I didn’t want to forget my friend.
Ren continued, “Hey Seiko, things will be fine. I promise that I will never forget you. Do you promise to never forget me?”
“Yes.” Ren leaned over to hug me.
We left the playroom to go back to the cafeteria, passing the metal bars that hindered kids from wandering away from the cafeteria. I wasn’t allowed there; I couldn’t let the janitor find me. I was not supposed to be there.
Ren went into the cafeteria and grabbed some bread and a bowl of melted cheese. Ren began to come towards me, when he tripped and dropped what he was holding. It shattered on the floor.
“Welp, we got melted cheese on the floor now, how bad could it be?” Ren chuckled, but he did not know that those were going to be his last words. I laughed along with Ren, unaware of what layahead.
Soon footsteps could be heard, and the only way for me to live was if I fled and hid from those who wanted to kill me. I said farewell to Ren and escaped to the depths of the world. It looked like a prison, and it was certainly mine.
I planned an escape, and left my hiding place to execute that plan. I passed my fears and enemies who became one and the same over time. The janitor was defeated, along with the old blind man who kept kids in the prison. I passed those twin bumbling fools who cook food for the guests, and the hostess of this big mess. And in the end I waited.
A long journey had been done. I waited for Ren. I waited for hours. Then days. But our fates were not to intertwine again, and I realized they he did not have the luck I had.
I won’t ever forget him. Hopefully he’ll never forget me.
👀👀👀 @ all these spicy submissions in my inbox
How old is the Lady in the Modern AU?
she appears to be in her mid-thirties!
is it okay to include art for this?
it is more than okay to include art in your submissions!! it’s actually encouraged haha c:
here they without the bruises btw if anyone wanted! \o/
Are we allowed to submit more than one OC?
yep! submit as many as you want!!
so, as thanks for gracing me with the honour of having fifty+ followers, i will be holding a short event where i will be taking submissions of ANY CHARACTERS you’d like to see in my modern day au for little nightmares, YOUR VERY OWN OCS INCLUDED!
to partake in the event, please fill out the following form with your desired character’s / oc’s details and send it to my submissions box:
The Broilsnatch of Maudlin Maw
(Part Five of @flotsambottle‘s modern au!)
“… Well, I did find something interesting.” One said.
“Ooh, really? What?” Six asked.
“There’s an entity called the Broilsnatch which is a powerful fae that lives within the woods.” One explained.
“An entity? Powerful? Do you think we’ll be able to defeat it with light or… something?” Six asked. “I don’t think it’ll be that simple.” Seven said. “… Then what would work?” One asked. “I don’t know. Let’s try to dig deeper.” Six said. And so, that’s what they did. They began to investigate.
Six really, really wanted to cover the creature in salt.
“… C’mon! Salt keeps ghosts away or something! It could shield us from the Broilsnatch.” Six whined. “No.” One said. “Never.” Seven added. “Ughhhh, no fair.” Six said, going back to researching.
“How about iron?” Seven asked. “That’s… not a bad idea. It could actually work.” One replied. Six looked annoyed. “NO FAIR! What about my salt plan?!” She asked. Seven and One looked at each other. “… Can I bring salt when we do attack it?” Six asked.
One looked at Seven, who smiled. “Fine. Only cause you’re my best friend.” He said. Six’s eyes lit up, from behind her bangs. “THANKS!” She said, hugging Seven. “You’re the best.” One rolled his eyes. But back to the iron.
The three began collecting all the iron they could find, from railway spikes to doorknobs. The town began wondering where all the iron went, but they were too busy sucking up to the Lady to complain about it.
“… Now how do we actually use this as a weapon?” One asked. “WE WEILD RAILWAY SPIKES LIKE DAGGERS. LIKE REAL MEN.” Six blurted out. “We can barely hurt anyone with our arms or rusty weapons! Let alone a powerful entity.” Seven reasoned. Six shrugged.
“Might I suggest we consult Carmen Carter? Their father was previously Maudlin Maw’s local jeweller. They might have experience to this kind of thing.” One suggested. “… I mean, it can’t hurt.”
When the trio got to school, they looked around for a while, until they found Carmen. Six, Seven, and One exchanged looks, then smirking. They walked up to Carmen, smirks glued to their faces. They put their hands in their pocket, and Six began to ask, “Hey, Carmen….”
Then, in unison, they all pulled out every single bit of cash in their pockets. It was only like, 4 dollars, five quarters, a penny, and a button all together, but eh. “Can you please help us make iron weapons? It’s for the sake of the town.” Six said.
Carmen cocked their head to the side. “… What…?”
One explained everything, and after processing it, Carmen nodded. “I’ll help you… if I need your help, you must all come immediately and help. Alright?” They asked. “It’s a deal!” Six said. And so, Carmen made….
shoddy iron weapons.
But they worked! And that’s rare!
They made a plan. They would attack the Broilsnatch and lead him to a trap on one of Maudlin Maw’s abandoned train stations.
The trap was only sigils upon sigils, painted on a wide set of ground, iron wires circling it.
But it was good enough! And that’s also rare!
So, the trio went into the forest after school. “Here, broilsnatch… c’mere…” Six said, readying her weapon. And like that, they felt a gust of wind. They turned around to see what they could only assume was the Broilsnatch. “… Three children… hm. What a nice meal~!” The thing chirped, as it attempted to attack. Six slammed her metal weapon into the Broilsnatch, who obviously did NOT like iron. “Why, you…” The Broilsnatch charged at Six.
Six got out of the way, only attacking again, along with One and Seven. They kept doing this, moving towards the direction of the train station until they were actually there.
As soon as they got the Broilsnatch in the trap, they threw iron dust and powder at it, (Six throwing a bit of salt, lmao) which made the Broilsnatch basically powerless. The three began stabbing the thing, when the Broilsnatch smirked as he noticed One. “You… You’re the brother of that girl.” He said.
One stopped, fingers twitching, eyes wide. “M-Maria…? How… How do you know Maria…?” He asked. “… Don’t you know? The Broilsnatch, the monster that consumes children and sends in despicable… disposable… replacements…” One teared up.
“… SHUT UP!” He yelled, slamming his iron weapon into the creature. “MY SISTER’S NOT DEAD! SHE CAN’T BE DEAD!” “Is this really what you want? To kill me?” The creature teased. One didn’t like, no, he hated the thought of actually killing someone.
He looked at the creature, shaking his head. “Then what do you want?” The creature asked. One felt a tear trickle down his face. “… I WANT MY PRECIOUS MARIA BACK!” One yelled, doing the final blow.
And the Broilsnatch was no more.
One fell to his knees, tears pouring out of his face, as he looked down, crying out for Maria. “I WANT MARIA! MARIA, PLEASE! MARIA… please… not you, Maria… anyone but you…” He cried. Six and Seven comforted One.
“… I’m sorry, Maria.”
Would it be alright if I drew what my little nightmares OC's would look like in the modern AU? Also, would the Lady still wear a kimono in the AU or just some fancy dress?
yes, of course!! i was actually going to hold a little event where i officially incorporate some little nightmares ocs into my au as thanks for fifty+ followers, so go right ahead! please lmk when you post it because, again, i would love to see and reblog it!!
because maudlin maw is a modern day au of the maw, i think the lady’s default outfit, rather than being a kimono (she probably has a beautiful assortment of them that are saved for fancy / formal events), would be a fancy dress! it would still be influenced by asian aesthetics though.
How old are Six and Seven in the modern day AU?
ren just turned twelve and seiko is eleven verging on twelve! they’re both in sixth grade.
the comic kids are roughly around the same age! from youngest to oldest, they are: philip, finn, theresa, carmen, and juan.
juan, theresa, and carmen are twelve and also in sixth grade.
finn just turned ten and is in fifth grade.
and philip is nine (turning ten) and in fourth grade.
would.........any of y’all.........perhaps be interested.......in my blade runner 2049 au.....
will the wax bellhop/the ferryman have any place in the maudlin maw au?
yes, he/they will! all of the characters currently in little nightmares are in the au, though the frequency at which they show up depends on how often i can weasel them into the main narrative. there may be some characters that do not show up at all / are only mentioned in passing conversation, even if they exist in the au.
Little Mulan
Hmm... Considering Two's house is usually 'the base of operations,' and Two's parents think of anyone who isn't their family 'street strays' - Do the parents care about these kids being in the house? Are they completely unaware for not looking? Would they get angry if the kids were spotted?
while they are completely aware that theresa often brings friends over (even if they rarely see them since their house is big af and theresa and her parents tend to gravitate towards different areas of it), the parents do not care, no! it’s only when she wants to feed them that they do.
they’re strangely stingy when it comes to food.
Is anyone allowed to contribute to your modern-day AU? I think I might very much like to take a crack at writing something...
oh my goodness, absolutely!! if i wanted to restrict this au, i would have privately discussed it with someone rather than publicly posting about it — so feel free to write / draw / create all sorts of content for it! please tag me / @ me / link me to the post when you do because i would v much like to see your wonderful contribution and reblog it! ♥
