I think Arthur Lester (and John) would do really well in the Bendy and the Ink Machine universe

[fire-frog]

From the books we know that people can escape the cycle and be turned back into a human form (still made of ink, but human presenting). If they were able to create a permanent or self-sustaining version of the cure, Noel could effectively have been sacrificed to the machine, escaped, and been restored to a human shape. It would be a very good parallel to his time in the Dreamlands.

It also provides the opportunity for angst. Two opportunities.

1. The Ink is shown to bring out people's primary emotions: courage, fear, anger, etc. What would Noel's primary emotion be? Whatever it ends up being could lead it to affect his actions when he meets Arthur.

2. If in this scenario TKIY is The Ink Demon, it provides a fun scenario now that The Ink Demon is out of the Cycle. Say Noel is still a police officer in this au and he is called to the Gent Building to investigate a report on someone breaking in (Audrey & Bendy). If Bendy changes into The Ink Demon while Noel is in the vicinity, it could lead Noel to start melting. The cure that presents him as a human again would stop working and he would start to turn back into an ink form. (Probably a Lost One. He might have been a Boris clone, but if so he wouldn't be able to remember much about his life before. As a Lost One he'd be completely insane, but he would be able to remember everything if he was turned back.)

I feel like the prison pits would be a great placeholder for the Lost Ones- being forced into a primal state to survive, but still being trapped. So it would make sense for Noel to be a part of that, and then returning to New York afterwards. Then Kayne’s “sending Noel to a mystery location” could be solved by sending him back into the Gent Building.

Speaking of Kayne, who do you think his equivalent would be? And second, how do you think the Ink Demon being fractured would affect him (and Arthur in this au)?

We need to come up with a better name for Daisy x Basira

like they’re the tragic lesbians, we can do better than Daisira

[fire-frog]

I have an idea for a Hadestown x Malevolent x Magnus Archives fic. Of course this would be with my preferences for ships and characters based on who I think embodies who most.

Character Breakdown:

Orpheus - Jonathan Sims

Euridice - Martin Blackwood (obviously)

Hermes - John Doe

Hades - Kayne

Persephone - Arthur Lester

The Fates - Annabelle Cane, Helen Distortion, and Lillith

It follows the plot of the musical, just with a bit of character spice. This au comes from my need to hear Arthur go, "You're early," and for Kayne to reply, "I missed ya." It also stems from a need for more angst surrounding the idea that Jon wasn't able to break Martin out of the Lonely.

“Art is happening everywhere all of the time” but an awful lot of it seems to only ever happen in New York and London, doesn’t it?

TADC x Severance Au, tell me if this makes sense

Pomni - Helly

(a very obvious choice to me: the newest, does literally everything to leave, causes the disruption in their new environment/the catalyst to its destruction)

Kinger - Irv

(Connected to the creation of the company/circus, seen as old and confused, just a silly goofy little guy, but not afraid to call out the authority figures after seeing that they’re wrong, falls in love while in the company/circus)

Jax - Dylan

(Antagonizes the rest of the cast, thinks it’s all a game until it gets serious, wants a lil violence as a treat lol)

Zooble - Ms. Casey

(dry and a bit sarcastic, often not apart of the main cast’s activities, but still trapped in it just as much as they are)

Gangle - Mark

(Specifically manager Gangle works so well with this one: when something that they’re in charge of goes wrong, they panic, the newbie causes them to see what’s wrong with the authority figure(s) and they lean into the rebellion, they wanted more out of their life outside of their current environment)

and then the *only* ones I could think of for the remaining two are

Caine - Milchick or Ricken?

(Love of theatrics and unnerving happiness/kind of a god to the innies?)

Ragatha - Natalie?? Lorne?

(Literally cannot think of a great one for her, but Natalie has that attitude of “everything’s great all the time!!” and Lorne is very much a farm girl with a dark past lol)

bonus!

Queenie - Burt

(Wanted to cry when I made this realization, too perfect: worked on the creation of the company/circus, fell in love in the company/circus, appreciates the little things, is forced to leave/abstract)

Kaufmo - Petey

(Loooooved this comparison: The most recent to escape/abstract, who the newbie was replacing)
