hi, this is really sudden !!! and probably annoying as hell !! because i know you left (?) the villainous fandom but please my lord and savior i beg of you to teLL ME THE STORY BEHIND THE COWARDICE AU, FROM GLURF'S SIDE AT LEAST, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I AM LOSING SLEEP, MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT AND I AM LOSING MY MIND, I NEED TO KNOW.
alright here I go time to answer this (sorry for the long wait and hair falling out and losing your mind and losing sleep but ey i did say i wont be here for a while~)
Story behind the cowardice au (glurf’s side)
Glurf was part of a syndicate/organisation called the chimaeream.org where they experimented on the idea of ‘life outside of the world we know’. It massively involved trying to splice and genetically engineer new species along with creating portals to different worlds (alternate universes, planets, etc) to discover and collect said species.
who funded the whole organization had once saw interdimensional species once and was obssessed with them. she wanted to dissect them to learn more on how their body functioned, how similar it was to the human organism and wanted to integrate them into her own body.During his stay there he developed a relationship with this asshat
another fellow scientist.And Glurf was pretty happy where he was. His real name wasn’t Glurf ofc. I had his real name written down somewhere but can’t find it.
It wasn’t until one day he successfully opened a portal to another dimension. It was brief but in that split second of happy accident Glurf knew how to open it again through more trial and error. In his first real attempt where the portal stayed open just for a few seconds, he grabbed from the other side whatever he could - and it was a cracked egg.
From the egg he tried to salvage a living creature using human DNA and in comes Sanity to the picture where he developed a slight fatherly figure to.
Despite him making her in the first place for the organization, he knew what they would do to her and he simply couldn't find it in his heart to allow his own ‘child’ to be dissected for research. He kept her in an abandoned warehouse as secret, raising her as best as he could.
Eventually she was still discovered by the organization and with the asshat leading the man hunt, Glurf was to be found and executed as a traitor.
Trapped in the organization’s building, he rigged acidic explosives as he had planned for this day as he ran for his lab. Unfortunately one of the corrosive explosives detonated a little too quickly and badly injured glurf (hence his body scars). changing out of his lab clothes he escaped in his now third attempt of the portal that he had been trying to stabilize for months to present to the boss and ran before getting shot down by the asshat and crew who followed through the portal.
Before he was gunned down, lucky for him as fates have it fraid hat happened to be passing by. He saved Glurf and together, with fraid covering him, they made their way back to the portal and to where Sanity was.The trio escaped safety back to Fraid’s dimension (fraid can create portals he just doesn’t use it. how else would he visit his ma?) and by now the portal made by glurf had imploded and its’ rigging had self destructed. safe from immediate harm, they slowly recouped, got to know each other, and the cowardice company is where it is now.
all of this was supposed to be revealed in a comic but i got too busy with life :c
I hope this satisfies a few people
