this blog thrives off asks!! Knowing what people want to see and explore lets us know what to work on! If there's anything you're even passably curious about LET US KNOW!!! if you address asks TO specific characters we'll answer in character too
Some of our AUs do have a "story" and major plot points but they won't be told in order and we don't withhold "spoilers". we are doing this for the love of the game and there is no optimal order to go thru the blog. Please note our AUs are also loose collaborative works and details can, will, and already do change on a whim.
BLOG RULES
don't repost our art :(
you can use it for icons/banners though with credit
don't be a dick about our interpretations of characters, we know they're pretty far off any canon or popular fanon thats the point
if you need to DM us for any reason go to alien's main blog
blog is largely sfw but we are adults, and some posts may be suggestive or allude to nsfw topics WITHIN REASON. please block tags as you need to if youre a minor or uncomfortable
on that note please don't get weirdly horny in tags we can see that shit
have fun :]
BRIEF OVERVIEWS UNDER THE CUT >>
HORSE IS AN ELEVATOR
A general catchall AU set in Robloxia that a lot of characters, games etc. fit into some way or another, including (nonexhaustive list): roblox myths/admins/hackers, Block Tales, Forsaken*, Die of Death, Regretevator, etc. with altered lore to fit everything together in a melting pot. Name is nonsense, does not feature any actual horses, except the one that is an elevator. Hope this helps
Purgatory Playground is our Forsaken rewrite within this AU and gets its own tag because it makes up a big chunk of content for it by volume. We do not support or associate with the Forsaken dev team.

TECH SUPPORT
A much more 'canon-divergent' AU in a more original cyberpunk-style setting, with a lot more of a defined story and themes, and a lot of worldbuilding. In a world increasingly built around machines, how vast is the real difference between the digital and the flesh? Features an eclectic mix of characters from Horse AU, but very very different this time.
Tech Support is a love story.

ROTTEN ROBLOXIA
Active WIP! A zombie-apocalypse AU inspired by (but not directly based upon) The Remains of Robloxia. A devastating hacker attack targeting a prized Admin NPC unleashes a code-based infection upon Robloxia. A small and disadvantaged group of survivors takes shelter inside Builder Brothers' Pizzeria and tries to cope with the ongoing end of the world.
IPIPHANY
An AU based solely around the game PHIGHTING!. Honestly we just got way too into things and too impatient to wait for official loredrops, so we went all the way and ended up with something vastly different. Self indulgent and features a lot of speculative inphernal biology and god/swords lore.
absolutely loving the asks lately that let us get into the lore of characters and situations. however it means they take like 4 billion business days to do so hang tight
(this also means you can absolutely keep sending these kinds of asks, it's great)
So, Enter Clue's Friends. Nobel, Baron and Kevin :)
All of them were besties, they lived together and did everything together. Everything couldn't have been going better for them-
But Clue..... wanted a bit more out of life. She turned to something exciting, something new: Exploiting. And with her new hobby, Kevin joined in. Something to give Kevin a voice- to give Clue the ability to hear. And this went well...
Until Baron and Nobel found out.
The fallout was NUCLEAR. It was spectacular. It was... Something none of them remember. Something horrible happened that day, and None of them remember- except for the fact that Baron is gone.
And they all think they're responsible.
Now fortunately this actually brought the 3 of them together more- they have to stick together after everything they've been through. Though... Kevin withdrew. But Clue grew obsessive. She got really close with Nobel, while Kevin found himself getting involved in some odder situations.
Until it resulted in just Nobel and Clue.
Nobel was desperate to forget. Desperate to pretend his life wasn't going horribly. So he partied day in and day out. And Clue stuck by her, every step of the way. Every little thing. Every. Single. Thing. Nobel was never found without Clue nearby.
Until Nobel vanished too. And It was just Clue.
So can you blame her? That she reached out to any god who would hear her? To any god who could bring back her friends?
And can you blame her that the very god holding them listened?
So now she won't let go. she's been given another chance to keep her friends. and she's going to sink her teeth in and dig in her claws and stay there.
So, the doppleganger is a funny little fella. Back in the way before when 1x1x1x1 decided to cut her emotions out of himself their envy towards humanity was among the emotions that ol' big green felt she could do without. To be more specific, that doppelganger was 1x1x1x1's envy of the humanity that Shedletsky has been left with where 1x1x1x1 was stuck with the divinity and the less desirable aspects that Telamon decided he didn't want in his mortal counterpart to be. Of course when it comes to splitting gods these things tend to take on a life of their own and Envy did just that.
Left on their own and without anything to hold them back they spent a lot of time observing humanity after escaping the Banlands when they nabbed a certain sword off some unlucky soul. Envy quickly became enamored with humanity and desired nothing more than to be like them. But they weren't satisfied with the idea of slipping into the role of any old human, no. Envy would become enthralled with the concept of heroes, seeing them as the pinnacle of what humans could be. A special kind of person who stood head and shoulders over all others, a shining figure who would inspire others as something to look up to and try to become heroes themselves. Envy would take this idea and run with it.
During their quiet years of observation Envy would come across many individuals who would meet their criteria of a "hero." Slowly, they would begin to amalgamate this data and begin to craft themself a human disguise based on physical characteristics they saw as desirable, primarily taking after a certain Hero who would see their imitation as anything but flattering. Their disguise was... Imperfect, but it was theirs and they are happy with it. They even went as far as to craft a wicked sword of their own after attempting to repossess "their" Venomshank proved less than successful.
Nowadays Envy can be seen just about anywhere, stalking all corners of Robloxia seeking out people in need and lending their aid wherever they're needed. Or wherever they think they're needed. While they do often approach others with good intentions they have a fundamental misunderstanding of how humans actually work and at times they can end up pushing their help where it isn't necessary. Even so, they'll always lend a hand with a smile on their face to anybody in need of a hero.
But don't be fooled by their ever-present smile. What's behind it is anything but human.

HES HERE THE HACKER IS FINALLY HERE- we've been insanely excited for this update, 07's finally showing his face and making problems!! Though Elliot doesn't seem too happy about it.
Unfortunately the next update will take a hot minute- artfight is on the horizon and likely the mods will be too busy to work on the comic... Buuuut, Tech Support isn't going anywhere!! You can find most of the cast over on Alien's Artfight and a few on weasel's! We hope to see you in the fight!
Get caught up on the comic! | Read Tech Support on Comicfury!
WE LIVESTREAM COMIC WORK ON TUESDAYS ~11AM ET drop in sometime for doodle requests and tech support straight from the source!
Clue is attached to Nobel in ways that cannot be explained by science
ironically though favouritism does not work in Nobel's favor here. because clue CONSTANTLY leaves him for LMS and lowkey stalks him outside of the rounds. and targets people Nobel is friends with. and more.
ok i realize with that post that we might have some new people who don't know about the big thing with the purgatory playground au;
Elliot, after some convoluted events, gets warped into a killer, and his loneliness gets twisted into Hunger
So after a certain point in the story- Elliot joins the killer roster :) as the cannibalistic Employee of the Month
There's a bit more to it- like the fact that the curator intentionally modeled him after Coolkidd as a special form of torment, or that it entirely plays on his almost year of isolation and almost 10 years of being stuck in this hell... but that's if you guys wanna hear about it ;3
You know Chance as the gambling addict adrenaline junkie- which he is! He's always been caught up in some of the worst crowds to fuel their need to get their heart pounding- It's gotten him in some practically boiling water in some times. From pretty young, he was involved with a group of kids who did some... really stupid shit. that did not result in good things.
And after a particularly.... dangerous stunt... only two of them were left.
Now life was pretty scary- especially living somewhere as volatile as Macabre City. Plus being the son of a very rich family, and in hot water for being involved with exploiters... And how odd his friend started to act after everything... He ended up joining a pretty notorious group for protection. From those around them- and their friend.
But overall, life went pretty good for him after that! he ended being the owner of a casino, and the second hand man of the Black Rabbits. And he seemed to be high on life!
Until.. Well.. Something started festering the background. Something was ongoing in the city and the group- and Chance. And it stressed them out BAD. and when Chance is stressed? Ah, well... he falls into old habits.
And his luck ran out.
And well, he was desperate to get the money back. They'd be in some deep shit if they didn't- so they did something.... stupid.
And from this point, if you asked Chance?
Ah well... It's a little too hazy and cold to remember properly.
And since then- he's been the playground's beloved gambler. Don't mind the fact that only a few people seem to know anything about him- or the fact that he's often found late into the night playing card games alone.....or how they flinch at people, rather than the monsters.
