I’m also curious to know more about your other AU, the cyborg Murdoc one!
oooh i was waiting to tell more about this AU!!
SO Cyborg!Murdoc was created by the real Murdoc. This takes place in a universe where Noodle is able to make her way back to 2D and Murdoc before they set off for PB after El Mana. But I suppose her close brush with death, and then nearly dying themselves to good ol' Bruce Willis made Murdoc start to think about his mortality. The idea that one day he'll be dead and perhaps before he's ready makes him cook up a terrible idea to create a cyborg in his likeness.
Cyborg!Murdoc is programmed to manage the band in Murdoc's absence and protect the other members from threats like pirates or dodgy producers lol. Murdoc spent a long time programming him to act like how the real him does. BUT, Murdoc is unable to finish him in time and a cannonball fired into PB from the Black Cloud pirates knocks him into a coma (ironic).
(excuse the extremely old unfinished art) 2D is left pretty distraught by the whole thing, so he spends a lot of time in Murdoc's room/workshop where he discovers his cyborg under a sheet. He manages to turn him on, but because he's incomplete Cyborg!Murdoc is almost entirely mute and lacks some of Murdoc's particularly mean qualities, with his main programming having to do with protecting everyone.
this is mostly from a fic that I was writing about the AU, but also never finished lol
it was gonna be resolved with Murdoc waking from his coma and destroying Cyborg!Murdoc. However, 2D had formed a bit of a trauma induced, parasocial bond with Cyborg!Murdoc (since he wouldn't yell at him and wanted to protect him, not torment him like the real murdoc did). So 2D is left pretty distraught for the years after that
