(I might put this on my secondary blog since i made it so i can post only about this AU, but for now i'll pin it here cause why not)
‼️I want to say that this is an AU, im aware some things will be ooc and cringey. Me and @keanrameow are obviously trying to keep it as accurate to the characters and personalities as we can 🙏‼️ we will change some things to fit the plot tho
●The main idea for this AU was ofc the found family trope cause its something i always enjoyed in media, i like writing and seeing different dynamics and relationships (romantic as well as platonic)
And the inspirations are mostly from the sitcoms "Modern Family" and "Friends" 😭 ngl...Other show too, "interview with the vampire" mostly for harleywhite and quinn and their dynamic as a family, "supernatural" again for the family dynamic and the platonic relationships bewteen some of the character from the show, etc.
At first me and keanra just wanted to create a universe where nothing bad ever happened and no experiments were ever made but that got boring so we decided to keep it close to canon until one point (when Claire adopts Riley)
●I will make a different post about the relations between the characters and write more details about the experiments but for now just a timeline:
When Claire adopts Riley (in 1990) nothing really changes, the factory still experiments on the children from playcare. After a year, Stella and Eddie get married then adopt Marie and Kevin. At this time the experiments fail more and more so at the end of 1991 the executives decide to use workers from the factory for the experiments instead. In 1992 Quinn gets adopted by Harley, Matt by the Ayers family and Theo by Donna Wiley (another worker at the factory, oc made by me and keanra)
This is a very vague explanation so if its confusing im sorry😭🙏, i will explain more in future posts
●I dont want to claim that any of them would be good parents, still again this is an AU, they are bad people that somehow managed to act like good parents after finding similar traits that they have in the kids they adopted. Obviously they all have their flaws as parents, some more than others.
There will be SOME parts in the story where i will reference superstitions, mythology, religion and religious psychosis/guilt. Im not at all religious, i am a big supernatural fan, i love greek mythology and making references to those stories. Also i personally dealt with religious guilt and other stuff in the past. i have ocd and my grandma was mean and very religious (average romanian grandma bruh)
●In this AU Quinn will be the main character, along with Theo, Marie and Kevin as secondary main characters (i think thats what its called?)
And i will have lore on the Ludwig family as well, both Ollie and Poppy will be important in the plot at some point. Also my girl Molly will play an interesting role👀. I still dont have everything planned and written so i might change some stuff but yea
can you believe this art is a year old? not like you could fact-check, i haven’t shown it here yet! Please Trust Me.
This was inspired by me finding a blue and red crayon at the grocery store (From Germany apparently?) and feeling a Strong Sense of Urgency that if i didn’t take them home id be a Bad Person. Please enjoy the sloppy background
im gonna be so honest i didnt look at your drawing of the revealed original prototype design close enough at first.... so i thought it was said design drawn over that one mocked-to-death vivziepop pose you see everywhere...... i was so convinced that was on purpose too.........
Actually you're right that is what i did. See I even have the colored version here. Look there's Poppy too
Your Harley Sawyer design reminds me of mystic flour cookie, and it really fits him since Mystic’s whole thing is apathy, and i think Sawyer is quite apathetic about the kids, he just cares about the progress. It’s really awesome
Hi!! Mystic Flour Cookie was my favorite beast, so this is a really nice comparison!🥹 Plus, they're really similar in some ways; they both have their own twisted philosophies. Both Harley and Flour have experienced unpleasant events that are the cause/partial cause of who they are now. And they both have their own little loyal charges. Hehe, that's a funny coincidence, you really nailed the similarities
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!💖💖 (And sorry the response is a little late😞😞)
