I know "umbrellastuck" is supposed to imply an umbrella academy/homestuck crossover, but to me it just sounds like how Lup spent her time between the stolen century and story & song
Your name is LUP TAACO. You like BLOWING SHIT UP, your BOYFRIEND, and your FAMILY â especially your TWIN BROTHER. You also like SAVING THE WORLD. Unfortunately, you are stuck in a MAGICALLY CREATED UMBRELLA SPACE because you got BACKSTABBED, LITERALLY.Â
What will you do?Â
>regain your senses
Lup: Regain your senses
You pull yourself together â literally. Now that youâre outta your body, all thatâs holding you together is your WILLPOWER and LOVE FOR YOUR FRIENDS. Gross, mushy.Â
Itâs harder to keep everything together here though. Almost like something is trying to tear you apart. But now youâve got all your senses back, and youâre ready to try and figure out what the fuck to do now.Â
You blink a couple of times and look around.Â
>look outside
You canât. The entirety of the room is swathed in red curtains, so dark that theyâre almost black. You tug them experimentally, and get the feeling that you might be able to pull them back with enough effort, but right now theyâre not budging.Â
>contemplate life decisions leading up to this moment
You sit down. You run your hands through your hair and sigh. Youâre trying not to freak out, because if you freak out, then you start to de-coalesce, and you get the feeling that this would be really bad in here.Â
But you canât help thinking about how you ended up here.Â
Leaving seemed so inevitable, at the time. There were so many deaths, and it was your plan that caused them. You hadnât realized that the thrall of the relics would be so powerful, thatâs the thing, you thought they would blend into the other weird magical artifacts, and maybe thatâs just hubris, that you thought that youâd be able to create something concealable out of the Light.Â
Youâre not great at admitting your mistakes. You figured that you could maybe fix this on your own â or at least get your gauntlet back. Youâre the greatest evocation wizard in multiple galaxies. Youâre a deathless lich. You figured youâd be gone a few days, maybe a week.Â
You think maybe you bit off more than you could chew.Â
>YEARS IN THE FUTURE BUT NOT MANY
etcâŚÂ
A trio of adventurers happen upon a red-cloaked skeleton in the caves underneath Phandolin.Â
LUP: fuckin yeet a Merle
You donât know how much time has passed. You donât have a watch in here, you donât have anything other than your soul and these stupid curtains. You can play this umbrella like a fiddle now, like its your own personal starblaster except it takes so much energy, and youâre only energy. But youâve gotten good at tearing the curtains back, even if it takes a lot of effort to keep them open.Â
Now you donât bother unless you can hear someone getting close.Â
Pretty much everyone who has come by has been a stranger. But todayâ Â
You sit bolt upright. Those voices are familiar.Â
For the first time in forever, you feel hope.Â
ExceptâŚfrom what you can make of their conversation, they have no idea what you or your umbrella is, and thatâs deeply concerning. How could they forget? Theyâre talking like strangers. Why hasnât Taako said âOh fuck, Lup!â and rushed over? Â
You get the feeling that something is horribly wrong.Â
You rip the curtains open in time to see Merle reaching for the umbrella handle, and oh no, that wonât do.Â
You YEET him across the cave!
Taako: Ooooh! Me next! Me next!
You are now TAAKO TAACO. You like COOKING, MAGIC, and STEALING STUFF. You donât like it when your magic FUCKS UP and KILLS 40 PEOPLE, but listen, we donât have to get into specifics here. Youâre ON THE RUN and ON AN ADVENTURE with TWO RANDOM CHUCKLEFUCKS who you have a profoundly weird fondness for. We donât have to think about this either! NOT THINKING ABOUT THINGS is one of your specialties.Â
So is MAKING SNAP DECISIONS.Â
TT: Oooh! Me next! Me next!Â
You reach for the umbrella. If someone were to ask you in that moment why exactly you were reaching for the umbrella, you wouldnât be able to tell them â itâs all static in your mind, undercut by a weird sort of urgency, it feels like the right thing to do, it feels like the only option, youâve gotta pick it up because this umbrella belongs toâÂ
You pick up the umbrella. It glows warm in your hand.Â
