currently the au is that jupiter is a big ( evil but not really but very toxic ) CEO and tyler is their assistant
and they are in a situationship
and tyler is a vampire robot who can technically get plenty of energy from most liquids but
while jupiter and tyler were well yk bro got a sip
and because jupiter is an alien i think that their blood could be like some kind of addictive substance to tyler which jupiter uses against tyler to like be evil n stuff still need to work that part out but yeah yeah but i also want to explore those like themes of withholding something that you are dependent on and like evil manipulation that can toe the line between being freaky and being genuinely bad because jupiter well i don’t want him to actually be evil and they won’t be but the way that i want their relationship w/ tyler to work is that it does offend walk the line between freaky ahh and manipulation through a workplace setting + financial dependence on jupiter but after they do yk jupiter is like really nice for awhile and does really chill aftercare and like they are sweet together but behind closed doors there’s stuff going on ALSO another thing abt vampires is that they need permission to enter places of residence that aren’t their own
which i might modify a little but idk and the way that tyler’s energy source works is from liquids he can eat but doesn’t like to as it takes a really long time to get the energy processed out of the solid food
+ he likes the taste of liquids better anyway so he drinks it and it goes into a stomach like
( in function ) uhhhh vessel? uhhh container? anyway
it’s where the energy stuff happens and there are tubes connected to a heart (in function) structure that just pumps the liquid to various places as his body just uses the rest of the liquid and turns it into a form of coolant but also blood but tyler is a “human” imitation model so that heart thing has the added function of pumping the air ( any air really through what is in it can change him slightly ie smoke n stuff ) and that combined w/ the liquids that he consumes creates the coolant/ blood that goes through his system so yeah
he can breathe as well ig yeah
definitely a chill guy that we discover is actually freaky
and tyler is lowk into that so we think it’s fine but over time jupiter starts to like do that stuff in sea crit at work and tyler is like ok? but uhhh maybe not
and jupiter says ok or something
but after awhile they keep doing it ( and by it i mean like
general affectionate touches but not in public [ in jupiters private office ] though i do think they would graze each other intentionally in public as a silly )
anyway over time jupiter gets worse and worse about the power they have over tyler and tyler can’t tell if its normal or not ( bc evil tyler lore ) so he doesn’t speak up and the other people at the office kinda ignore him ( more evil reasons if you want to know then ask lowk ) but after something really bad happens to tyler because of jupiter and jupiter like realizes what they did and steps back like whoa and then they see how scared tyler is in that moment and is like
ok chat i need to lock in
(more emotional than that but yeah) and starts to genuinely try
but he like ghosts tyler for awhile so now tyler is scared that he did something and is getting really upset and overwhelmed so he barges into jupiters office (super sea crit key) and trys to confront jupiter
so bro busts in and jupiter is all slumped over their desk like
crying and sobbing ( probably smoking a blunt but not actually i just thought it would be funny ) so jupiter wipes his tears and until then tyler and jupiter have just been like warm bodies and control and being controlled
so this kind of emotion would be a first so tyler feels this need to comfort jupiter even though jupiter has been the one to hurt and manipulate tyler this whole time which is crazy so jupiter is crying into tyler and they just like “ im so sorry “ etc etc
and “ill do better i promise” and tyler believes him and they try to work it out and talk more and be more open w/ both of their feelings while still trying to yk
be freaky in a healthy and more respectful way so it’s like
co-works
situationship
toxic yaoi
hurt
comfort with nuance
trying to be better
( on jupiters part )
but also tyler has some emotional stuff going on that’s like making him vulnerable but tyler also has anger issues but jupiter is just so tall and so much bigger than tyler that jupiter can take it just fine and finds it endearing even though tyler is genuinely going through something at that moment so it’s like that’s another thing ^
