I'll try to be more active here again, I'll actually try this time.

If u don't know who I am then hi, I'm Crashing and I'm insane over King of Soph! I like psychoanalizing them, their relationship and why they are meant for each other.

Sad sophist!! sad brent!! sad nick!! King of soph angst!! Sophick angst!! What about sad Vernias. He can’t be happy all the time guys

[sopping-wet-cat-wizard]

Vernias trying so hard to keep it together since he's always the one the three turn to for emotional advice.

But there's just a day he can't and he snaps and yells at one of them and then feels so guilty that he walls up in his room under a mountain of plushies.

[starry-sophrosyne]

this with those like somewhat annoying “I love you” plushies you see advertised here and there, they’re so corny but

It doesn’t matter how many plushies he’s surrounded by, how soft and plush they are; he’s so cold.

There’s so much pressure on him to be the kind and understanding one, but this time, he's broken that promise in a way that he doesn't want to. It's almost, unfamiliar, the amount of turbulent emotions that left his body, and how cold and empty and silent he felt after it. Feeling the stares of his friends weigh down him, and how the storm of rage had left him feeling like a hollow shell, null void, was.. violating. He hated it, hated the way a chill immediately ran through his whole body, freezing him to the core right after. So he ran.

He doesn't even remember the way they look at him, or if they did, after he shouted words he doesn't even remember. He just remembers heaviness and fatigue and so much red and black noise swirling in his head. He couldn't take it anymore. He's so sorry, he really is. But he's scared too, scared that if he goes outside this room, they won’t look at him the same again. He keeps envisioning their eyes full of genuine, pure, hatred, and it makes him let out a shuddery whimper every time the image flashes through his mind. He can't bare the idea. He'd rather never look at them again, and so, here he is now, shivering under a mountain of stuffed animals.

And then, a bright glow and some muffled noise lights up the whole cave of plushies he’s made for himself on the bed.

He jumps at its whole intrusion in his miserable silence, but just as suddenly, it fades away. Just as he tries to process what it is, it happens again. Another repetition, and this time, he digs after it.

Finally yanking it out, it glows a bright gold in his hands.

Silently, in the living room, the other two watch over Nick’s shoulder as he presses the chest of this shoddy teddy bear. They won it from an arcade a few summers back, and Nick almost refused to take it when he found out what it did. Vern terrorized him with it for a few days before Nick eventually threatened to cut it up and that was the end of that, as she shoved it in a corner of his room never to be remembered.

The cringey “I love you” plays, making the beat glow a hot pink. After it fades out, Nick presses it again, almost rhymatically. Just like a heart beat. He doesn’t react, doesn’t cringe despite its irritating voice. His gaze is unreadable, something between cautious and pensive. He just.. waits.

Back inside Vern’s room, he sits and stares at the bear for what feels like an eternity. His hands shake as it lights up over and over, reassurances coming from a choppy if not broken little robotic voice, full of static. And softly, ever so gently, he pushes on the chest of the plushy once.

Nick’s eyes are the first to light up when they see the bear light up again, thumb hovering over its heart. The other two realize just as Nick pushes on it, even more softly and intently. They look at each other, just as Nick gets up and walks towards Vern’s bedroom door.

Vern turns his head when he hears a thump right outside his room. He doesn’t get up, but he hears two more, and then.. the soft glow of pink shines from underneath the door once more. He hears the affirmation from behind the door once again, and at this, his eyes light up again. They are glassy, reflecting the gold of the bear’s glow as he presses it again. Lips wobbling as he hugs it closer and it lights up again. The toy isn’t supposed to be used this much, and with its age, it works as any cheap electronic toy would. It starts to become warmer. Vern stifles a full on sob as he hugs it tightly, sniffing with his shoulder popping up the way one does when trying to form words while crying but being unable to.

On the other side of the door, they hear him but also see the way the bear lights up repeatedly in Nick’s hands. Vern’s hug, purposeful or not, presses against the bears trigger with every sniffle, but that’s enough for them. It doesn’t take a lot to ask for forgiveness.

if you fw corruption/toxic yaoi then maybe you'll like this idk i just think it would be hot lol

[honeybombgoesboom]

right. so.. the sentinel and guide trope has me by the throat. that’s mostly where this au stems from. my favorite author has infested my writing now. so this is where this brain child comes from. i try to keep most of my fiction non-romantic.. but in my mind, while sentinels and guides can be platonic, they’re normally not.

quick trope run down just in case anyone unfamiliar stumbles upon this!

sentinels have heightened senses. think microscopic vision, they can see the individual fibers of fabric. maybe even see things on a molecular scale. supersonic hearing, they can hear something on the other side of the country if they can focus on it. (<- very important piece of information) they can sort through flavor profiles like a champ. is that the faintest whiff of poison? they know they sniffed that shit out ages ago. what’s that? the poison was odorless?? totally lad, odorless to YOU. they’re also buffed to high hell. (i got carried away sorry.)

anyway, just super heightened senses. however, i’m sure we can all see how this could be a pain in the ass. it sounds overpowered, which is exactly why there’s such a huge nerf. the ability itself. sentinels are vulnerable to sensory overloads. they can just blank out and get trapped within their own minds. this is, without a doubt, horrible to experience and just horrible generally. overuse, or simply trying to push the limits, of their abilities will induce a spike and then they’re essentially fucked.

this is where guides come in. the whole sentinel and guide trope usually overlaps with the soulmates trope, because of how intertwined and intense the bond between a sentinel and guide is. it’s often described as almost psychic. once bonded, they start sharing each others emotions and certain thoughts. like they can feel each others feelings type of thing. ANYWAY. guides are needed for the sentinels to be able to utilize their abilities to the fullest. additionally, they’re there to be a grounding force. their presence keeps the sentinel focused and present and out of their fucking minds. they prevent the blackouts associated with the sensory overloads by simply being there. they’re the rock basically. they’re a team. big thing, that is. one isn’t more important than the other. they work together.

main point, the sentinel is important yes, but they’d be useless without their guide. vise versa, a guide’s ability would be useless without their sentinel. (this doesn’t mean the individuals are useless it means their roles would be useless.) additionally, sentinels can use their abilities without a guide. it’s just dangerous and ill advised. before they meet a guide it’s like their true powers are locked. yes, they have the same heightened senses, but they can’t access enough of it to do certain things because they have a cap on how much they can use. this is so until they meet a guide (any guide, even if it’s not their guide) they can’t go into the sensory shock shut down state.

i think i covered it.. i tend to ramble so properly conveying ideas that spawned within my mind is always a task.. therefore if there are any questions about the world / universal setting, shoot an ask!

that being said, i don’t think i have to tell y’all who has what role or what the pairings will be. you guys know.

i’ve further decided that this isn’t enough and they don’t have enough things to worry about. so i gave them more super powers. yay!

this loser was originally gonna get something really cool. (he was gonna be able to manipulate his body to make it into a weapon. like he could make his saliva poisonous or make his blood corrosive or even make his bones into weapons like yknow? nooooo, i scrapped that and DIDN’T give it to nick like i was also going to.) his ability is a rage state. he goes like fully insane and all higher thought is thrown out the window. he still has his strategical mind and he becomes invincible..(nothing can hurt him, besides himself..) however, he WILL hurt his teammates. he can’t reason between friend and foe. his only thought is exterminate. he will raze it all to the ground. he’s normally very successful in this state, achieving things full on teams couldn’t. he’s basically a one man army. besides the obvious drawback of him having no reasoning to care for himself / have any of form of self preservation he can’t pull himself out, someone else has to do it.

loser number two gets gambling as an ability. he has a deck of cards, of which there is no way to be able to tell what card you’re going to pull. the cards in this deck all have different things which they cause. except for number cards. sophist doesn’t know what they do. since i suck at building suspense i’ll just tell you. they aid the reality of which he believes will come true. if he thinks a million more enemies will appear the cards will work to help that come true. even if he doesn’t want that to happen. as long as he thinks that’s what’ll happen.. it’ll happen. the other cards do a variety of things. it’s a standard 52 card playing deck.. most of the time. see he doesn’t pick the cards they pick him. the deck is always in his possession even if he tries to chuck it away. it’s like riptide from percy jackson. sometimes he’ll reach for the deck and pull out a stack of tarot cards. no clue why. these cards also do different things. he’s very confused on how his ability works. that’s the point. it doesn’t make sense. wonderland, ooo aaaa. be amused. (he gave up on understanding it and just goes with the flow as we know him to.)

this fucker. instead of leaning into his luck, like i do everywhere else. we’re going to lean into his toxicity. his costume / outfit for this au is as always up to the reader’s interpretation. the only consistent thing is that he HAS to have a gas mask. (so do the rest of the crashers but it’s less of a feature of their designs / character and more a necessity.) he turns the air (yknow the thing everyone needs to live. something so inherently normal.) into toxic gas. like deadly toxic gas. like.. you breathe two lungfuls in and it’s game over. non-negotiable. that’s basically it. he can breathe it in he just keeps the gas mask for the people he loves in case it gets out of his control. it’s a control / fear thing. he can control the gas to an extent. he doesn’t secrete it. he changes the air so he can choose where to start the change. therefore, he can just leave an entire section. obviously this only delays the gas’ spread to that area as it’s fuckin gas and moves through the atmosphere without issue. he can keep the gas away, but that takes extreme and consistent focus usually coupled with a peaceful mind. not something you normally get on a battle field so..

vernias!! my king, he gets an ability space. he can just pop out of reality, into a little space bubble. nothing can exist within that space unless he permits it. however, he, and whoever he takes into that space with him, will appear in the exact same place in which they were as they disappeared when they return to this plane of existence. this makes him susceptible to traps if he uses it in the middle of a battle field. additionally, time doesn’t stop. people still age, ailments still progress, people still need sustenance, he can’t summon / will anything that doesn’t exist outside of the bubble into the bubble. he can’t create a cure for cancer that works in the bubble because it’s his world. that’s not how this works. he can, however, keep this bubble stable for what is essentially eternity.

and now into the plot.

guides and sentinels are rare, and guides and sentinels that can bond / match are even rarer. they’ve been abducted to become part of this super secret government agency where they fight all the evil sillies who use their powers for evil. oou so original. (nick and brent are there voluntarily, because they were found in their early youth. it’s easier to locate sentinels as they’re more obvious. guides are a lot more lowkey as their ability branches off of a sentinel’s. i might expand if there is demand. not too sure lol.

@toadettely here u go.. i meant what i said about this being just as much yours as mine lol.

[starry-sophrosyne]

this is so ooc but GOD it would be so fucking funny 😭 i have 0 regrets (i think) AND @toadettely THIS ONE IS FOR YOU OK? THIS IS ALLLLLL YOU GET FOR YOUR STEPDAD FANTASIES, YOU HEAR ME?? /silly /gen

--------------------------------------------------------------

modern college(?) au where regular student Eldette decides to help out and befriend the newly arrived student Bertrand. While interacting with him, they VERY BRIEFLY meet Starry, who she jokingly and affectionately refers to as her mom. Bertrand returns home to his brother later that day.

“Hey Brent?…”

“Yeah bro?”

“I think I might be in love with someone’s mom.”

Brent proceeds to space out in shock for the next 4 minutes, jaw dropped as low as it possibly can. He eventually comes back to his senses, just to reply:

“WHAT THE FUCK??!1!1?!!!?????”

Bertrand cringes at himself with i-know’s as Brent basically tears their house apart in distress. YES the other crashers DO notice how mentally strained he looks after hearing the news a few days later, and when he inevitably tells them, they NEVER stop laughing. They NEED to befriend his brother now.

[starry-sophrosyne]

you may end up tomorrow with an influx of reblog notes from my part Starry, lol /silly but /gen and /srs. So sorry I can't interact as much now during week days, life's not giving me the time to interact with fandom in general 😔. But trust me that I have lots of thoughts about your AUs and startrand 👀👀👀👀

-🖋️

yeah, that’s honestly my bad lol, I haven’t been back for a while so I haven’t really seen how less active it’s been than before (too high expectations XD /lh) and I COMPLETELY forget about how many people on here are still in school as well 😭

No worries though, thank you guys for the responses to help relieve my anxiety, glad I’m not shadow banned :D

[starry-sophrosyne]

chat did I get shadow banned or am i just being unreasonably distressed by how little activity my new posts have been getting.. /genq /nm

(no eldette im not talking about btw, my dear daughter, you are first among just about every post of mine- XD /pos /gen /lh)

[starry-sophrosyne]

WOTC au where Starry stays behind instead of leaving the palace and serves Cherie alongside Crashing, due to her secretly relating to not being able to love one of the princes. @crashingstar69

Speaking of which, I wonder what the dynamic between WOTC Starry and Crashing would be, atleast in this case; I wonder if Crashing’s bias against Brent makes her against the other prince too, esp considering that he RAN off with a traitor, and may make her mad at Starry all the same since she’s in love with who is essentially a traitor; but also knowing that Starry relates to Cherie may help Starry understand and help Cherie better than they can.

But even then, what if Cherie starts preferring Starry to themselves? As someone she can talk to about her problems, who understands, if Cherie ever found out about Starry’s predicament herself. How many times can they sit here and watch their queen chase after other people who aren’t themselves, or harbor hatred for ex-princes harbored in this castle? It’s enough to make them mad, even as they sit through the decades with a passive smile and clenched fists. A clock ticks away as they reset it every morning, crescent moon shape marks inlaid upon their hand. It’s fine, it’s fine. After all, it’s not like they hold any standing in the grounds of these impossible romances. They’re just a simple maid.

[starry-sophrosyne]

ik I should probably post about my initial aus for startrand but I-

I lowkey forgot about like.. the au.. I need to refresh my memory abt it alongside the other aus.. ahaha.. 😭

I miss writing anything pc rpf related but ESPECIALLY WOTC god I love it so much so I got really motivated last night thinking about which dynamics they would have, ofc these are all angst :)

also TW for mentions of death and blood + somewhat brutal injury (objective?)

--------------------------------------------------------------

WOTC Starry who keeps in contact with or joins Bertrand and the rebellion but worries about taking care of her two siblings especially while communicating with him, and talking about her woes with Bertrand. This only reminds him of how he left his own younger brother behind to suffer on his own, and has to pretend like this talk with his retainer isn’t killing him from the inside out, especially under the preconception that is yet again him who has hurt more familial relationships with younger siblings.

WOTC Bertrand who had a running gag for Starry to say his name instead of some version of “my lord/liege/whatever” throughout their lives, but leaves quickly after the events of EC to chase after Sophist. After a brief chat, in which he thanks her, he walks off, barely looking back as if he forgets this is a goodbye forever. As his footsteps fade away, she falls quiet, and mutters his actual name one last time. “Goodbye, Bertrand.” — She’d always wished their relationship hadn’t been so formal, but she never wished to plague him with her own imperfections. She was a perfect guide, mentor, and retainer; and that all she was supposed to be. Not what she wanted to be.

WOTC Starry who had planned to gift a ring to Bertrand during his coronation, only for him to go down the path of the rebellion so she slips it into his bag before he leaves. She does not stop him, only wishes to secretly be a part of his journey. He notices it, but despite never knowing where it came from, he keeps it. 2 endings:

1. During a rough patch, he sells it. It eventually makes her way back to her, and she knows what that means. It’s not personal, she’s sure, she knows the man she served. She also knows he would never know who it was from (She is wrong. He had no choice. He regrets it every day.), but even still. It hurts a little too much to keep it.

2. He keeps it all these times. Even as the rebellion crumbles and wastes away, and he is eventually caught at a tavern after decades of lonely peace. He rotates it in his hand as soldiers barge through the door and surround him. Somehow, it’s the only thing that’s stayed with him all this time, yet not given from the man he loved and who he departed from as to respect his wishes. Still, he does not let them take it.

WOTC Bertrand who was restrained and calmed by Starry, his retainer, in moments of aggression when he was young and passionate, but finds himself yelling in fits of anger without her, even when he solder and more mature. Bad habits grown upon dependency, and Sophist is never the perfect replacement despite all of the ex-prince’s love for him.

WOTC Starry who sees her love for the prince as a punishment, for not locking emotions uptight and giving her heart to him, so she makes a sort of deal to get rid of them, and he notices. He regrets silently, but they both know they could never let it happen anyways, and they both always thought she was better than him too, to not fall in love.

WOTC Bertrand who fails to wrap his bandages as properly as she did when he would come back from battles, confused by the pensive look on her face when he would brush over major injuries like nothing. The scars now hurt more when she’s not around, although she would never trace them, but he even missed her look of pity as she mourned the repression of hurt needed for a man to become a ruler.

WOTC Starry who takes a fatal blow for Bertrand in an explosive rebellion attack that takes the royal family off guard, and only “selfishly” begs for him to take care of her siblings. He “selfishly” pleads her no, don’t leave me, he cannot loose another member of his family; and mourns that she couldn’t have been selfish enough to take care of himself. He looses his mind right after the warmth leaves her body, the same happening to his heart as her body is splattered in the blood of traitors in the rubble. It still echoes his mind even after he follows after Sophist, because the exile of one and the death of another were equally as unjust, and they will never know the revenge he will take from the top of the new hierarchy. He will avenge her, and Sophist will not say a word even as some of their powerful forces are depleted.

WOTC Bertrand who makes a joke about Starry being eligible to become a/their queen due to her abilities, and she falls quiet, telling him to focus on his studies. It’s too late, enough to remind her to about everything that’s she’s forced down to literal forgettance — what she should hate about herself. And oh; she does, because she could never hate him. Too upright, too innovative; too benevolent and honorable. He is everything, and yet, he should be nothing to her. She cannot bring herself to hate a man like him, so she hates that about herself instead. It is all she can do, nothing more, nothing less.

WOTC Starry who forced Bertrand to attack her when they were both younger, as her order from the king to “get rid of the boy’s weakness.” She believes it does, but all it does is turn her into his weakness. Even as she congratulates him on his first blow, all he does is shield her body and shake as he feels the iron warmth on his hands. He would rather die than do this again, but the king gets his wish, as this only ever applies to her.

bonus if, somehow, Starry’s roped into the rebellion like Sophist is (wowie, closest people to BOTH the crown princes huh? you’ve really outdone yourself mustard man 😭 /hj /silly) and she simply asks him to kill him as to not tarnish his reputation. He cannot, so either she does it herself, criticizing his weakness as to make him hate her in her final moments, or she marionettes the part of him wrapped up in royal rule and filial piety just so he’ll attack her. She does not regret it, he does. Attacking her or not being able to stop her. But, no matter what, he will never hate her. 

WOTC Startrand in which neither party realized their feelings, and if they ever had, would both never act on it due to diplomacy. They would interact like everything was normal, and they would never let it show or affect their lives, remaining formal to the ends, unlike some others. They have both been trained well enough by the crown to understand the power that love holds, and the fear they should hold for it. They will never, ever let it get in the way of serving their leader. (The people/him)

[toadettely]

Sophist writes letters to Brent

But they never reach Brent

They reach Bertrand

Who wishes the words were about him

Not meant for his brother.

He hides them. Reads the lines on lonely nights.

His brother has no idea those heartfelt pieces of paper from Sophist even exist

...

"Why did you never answer my letters?"

"What letters?"

[pen--anon]

This was going to be a silly shitpost of mine lol, but...I think it fits this amazing post too lmao /gen /pos. So here it is:

*at some point before the events of wotc*

"Rand, you're getting this all wrong. I’m not saying I’m in love with your brother."

"I found a note with your handwriting saying 'his eyes look like war and I’d lose every battle.'"

"Okay poet, relax."
