I was feeling a little demotivated so just decided to play with some simple colours and textures after a sweltering day on the farm!

Tell me about your ow aus. the weirder the better

OKAY I HAVE A LOT so I'll talk about some of the ones I haven't talked about yet.

My cosmic horror AU where the Eye of the Universe fails to bring the Hearthians into a post-nova universe. This causes their reality to collide with other parallel timelines and kind of makes everything fucked up. Everyone is affected by a different kind of horror ::)

My spirit AU (I'm really bad at giving my AUs actual names) where there's demons and ghosts and spirits and shit. Slate's a vampire, Feldspar's a demon who will eventually fight tooth and nail (claw?) to become a god, Hornfels is uuhhhhhhhh......., and Gossan thinks they're sooo normal and just a regular Hearthian but they're actually the weirdest of them all.

And my Pacific Rim crossover. Gossan and Feldspar are Jaeger pilots together. After a mission goes wrong, Feldspar gets lost. They do eventually get Feldspar back, but so much time has passed and what do you do when the one person you've spent your entire life with is no longer drift compatible with you? Also, the kaiju would be based on/designed after the planets (ANGLERFISH KAIJU BABYYYY).

Oh, and my Outer Wilds West AU which was the first AU I ever came up with. Space cowtheys......

[owtechnolich]

what if i put all of these in my mouth

updated my pinned post w tags for the stuff i talk about

everyone's aus are so cool. im adding mine to the pool:

Elder Scrolls AU: this one's my baby. the one i've spent the most time with. it's also the least like outer wilds. we ended up fitting the characters to elder scrolls instead of elder scrolls to outer wilds. feldspar is obsessed w being the prophesized reincarnation of a war hero. gossan and porphy end up running a refugee camp/mobile orphanage and helping a lot of children grow up and survive in tamriel. gabbro is a child of the prince of nightmares. chert becomes the arch-mage of the college of winterhold. slate was a blacksmith, hornfels an alchemist. they come from an ashlander camp called bosdrabim which literally means "tree hearth." it's fun.

Eldritch Chert AU: where chert is an eldritch entity of knowledge who exists outside time. being made aware that the timeloop exists brings them into the time loop. they feed on life energy. the bramble is also an eldritch entity.

Vampire AU: gossan and feldspar are vampires and grow up trying to navigate what that means. eventually feldspar gets stuck in the bramble and finds out they can't die of starvation they just end up going insane. many cool blood-related shenanigans happen over the span of their lifetimes. it is a loopless au.

Subnautica AU: i should really expand on this one some more. started w the idea of bramble-ified reaper leviathans. expanded to an idea of the planets being the biomes you travel to in subnautica. there is a time loop and basically the goal is to reach the sea emperor leviathan because she plays the role of the eye of the universe, basically.

Siren Gabbro AU: not very much to this one other than gabbro is a siren and i liked playing w how they would fit into the world, ecologically. timber hearth is wayyyyy more populated than it is in game.

Dullahan AU: another barebones one. slate's a dullahan who lost their head in the eye incident. they're now undead and can see how long everyone has to live.

Bramblespar AU: also not super developed. basically feldspar gets infected by the bramble and is kind of it's proxy??? idk there's mind control shit going on, and loss of identity. but again, not very developed.

Monster Crossover: just a tag to hold a crossover for all my monster aus since they don't actually exist in the same au as each other.

Pilot Slate AU: technically not my au, but i like it. slate and feldspar's roles are swapped and they get lost in DB.

i thiiiiiink that's all of them? hopefully i didn't forget any

chert and space!! gabbro and time!! beware what will befall you if you break them apart 🫵👁️

"i hope the gosslates notice me" i remember literally coming to your comments bc of your platonic gosslate one shot and yelling in my head a lot

i wouldn't call it platonic but yeah i remember that. you and kit went nuts.

[owtechnolich]

I've actually been on such a Gosspar kick for the longest time. I'm just obsessed w them being queerplatonic and whatever that ends up meaning to them. There's room for Gosslate here ofc, but my fuckin tism, man.

[gloopdimension]

me re-scrolling thru older convos w/ my friends becuase i remember how much i enjoyed talking to them about the subject

[cynthiadasorceress]

One of my favorite things about the Outer Wilds fandom is that the devs gave us all of one (1) relationship that explicitly *did not happen* (Gossan and Slate) and a significant amount of people went "But what if. They did Date"
