Okay so originally I was gonna add context and everything to Melissa and Bang's sibling dynamic, but after seeing how much I wrote I've decided to just put it on this reblog instead so that it won't boggle down the original post with all this text.💀
So be warned because I'm not good at condensing stuff LMAO, so enjoy:
Melissa (my oc), is a virus who's basically a storybot equivalent to a skin walker. So at first she started off as a mostly shapeless form of pink glitchy electricity that loomed in the shadows in the computer world, being planted in the computer to execute her virus code of starting and spreading a virus. Her task at first was to monitor a computer worm that her creator also planted and to ensure that it grew and spread, being the starting point of infection. But one day when she was watching it crawl its way through the internet department, a young Bang who was visiting the department with his dad Ned (also my oc) and was wandering around until he spotted the oddly colorful worm on the ground. And being the lil upid kid that he was, he thought it was a yummy gummy worm and just picked it up and ated it.
This obviously shocked young Melissa and disrupted the whole original plan, so then said plan was changed to now watching and keeping a close eye on Bang, the new host and expected patient zero of the virus. So over the years Melissa observed him from afar, learning everything about his life and stuff as she loomed in the shadows, her form slowly shifting and adapting to look more storybot-like the more she learned about them and their society. Eventually she grew sick of always having to stay hidden, having to sneak around underground and living a life (if you can call it that) just watching others and not being able to be a part of it. Especially having to keep tabs on Bang and growing hateful of him and his existence since he messed everything up and set her back from completing her life's purpose. So she finally stabilized her form and gave herself her own storybot appearance/sona, having been inspired mostly by Bang, via having the same height/build as him, but of course everything else about her was to her own personal likeness; her own skin.
So then she finally stepped out of the shadows and started her new life as a "real storybot", but ofc still having her hidden agenda of monitoring Bang, now mostly out of hate since even to this day he seems to have no symptoms or side effects from the computer worm that's still planted inside his mind, besides him slowly losing his memory recall abilities and poor coordination. And so this is where the "Love Sick" AU would start where Mellissa slowly but surely makes a name for herself and gaining presence in storybot society, soon finally meting Bang face to face to coyly manipulate him into being the face and spokesperson for her new social movement/campaign called "Project I LOVE YOU" (based off of the irl I LOVE YOU virus) so that she can use him eventually to activate the worm and start the infection.
Okay, done with backstory/lore. But yeah, that's why Melissa hates Bang and ofc has to hide it from him and others because she needs to use him to be able to use the computer worm that's now been fully planted inside him that has not yet been activated yet. EHEHE I just love the dynamic of how Bang is literally just a liked guy with no enemies since he's just chill like that, but meanwhile Melissa is secretly fuming with hatred and resentment towards him and he doesn't have a clue in the world about it LMAO. Also Melissa is totally also not secretly jealous of him because he's so easily liked and gets fame and attention without even having to try, meanwhile she's been living like a outsider who just secretly wants to be an actual person/storybot who people actually like and care about without having to coax people with her fake cheery and loving facade.
Anyways, after the "Love Sick" AU and the good ending where society is restored back to normal from infection and Melissa is redeemed and can finally just live out the life of a normal storybot, she actually grows closer to Bang as a sister figure and starts to show actual compassion and care. So they both become like adopted siblings in a sense and plus it makes sense since Melissa basically did grew up along side Bang over the years. I just think their post "Love Sick" AU bond is really sweet, like despite how she slowly grew to hate everything about him and wanting the worse for him, he isn't affected by it and still tried to see the good in her and then both of them realizing they actually have a lot in common (which shouldn't be a surprise since literally he was the main inspiration she looked up to (ironically enough)).
So yeah that's all of that. Thank you genuinely if you read it all or even at all LOL. I just wanted to make it it's own post/reblog to make things more clean I guess. Anyways have a great day and take care y'all! 🫶🤙👋
