i 100% believe the only reason king says "oh gosh-" here instead of. like. "oh shit" or anything is bc of how much time he's been spending around mugsy atp in the cc timeline . just . btw . teehees

mmmm. thinking ab the concept of a cc au where dice &/or devil just. fucking. throw the cuptwins down into The Pits™ forrrrr. whatever reason. idk man i just woke up ,,
cc!main 4 poly except they're all freaks & abuse the whole 'assumed-to-be-chosen-family-rather-then-a-polycule' thing Way too much for it not to be a kink. send post
cc!cupcest but both of them are repressed as fuck about it, and cc!devil's just sitting in the unknown cuck chair in the corner, forced to overhear their lustful thgts ab one another bc he's the embodiment of sin for fuck's sake, desperately trying not to shove them at each other and yell JUST FUCK ALREADY! DEAR HELLS.
fanart is being made ! :3
cc au where the cuptwins die from a shared/spread injury infection not two days after the fights, but devil still needs the kettle's potion and the kettle's dead and so are his damned kids. cc au where the cuptwins are dead, dead, dead, but the devil is dying dying dying and his wings are rotting rotting rotting, so dice goes to samael and stays until the chalice is dragged screaming out of limbo and says tell me how to fix him, or i swear to god, legendary, you will wish your soul'd cracked - and then, when the chalice says there is no way to fix him, as far as she knows, 'cause the devil's an immortal and the kettle was the only one of their kind - of animikind - to research that kinda shite but now he's dead and so are his pet halflings-
awright, then, says the devil's king, and he does not blink at the pet halflings comment - or, moreover, what it i m p l i e s. then tell me how to bring them back.
now that? that, the chalice can do.
(it takes 6 years, still - 6 years that devil only just barely has, 6 years straight spent researching things mortals shouldn't know and cluing in more and more of the mortal casino's crew as time ticked ticked ticked a w a y - 6 years, it takes, and tying the cuptwins's half-faded souls to dice's yet. but, in the end - in the end -
6 years after the fights, and cuphead & mugman kettle are dragged, neither gently nor harshly, from the half-realm they spent god knows how many years in -
only to wake up to ta handful of their murderers' faces, 15 years old and alive, alive, ALIVE once more and fill to the brims with magic.)
cc!devildice Playing with their Touys (cc!cuptwins)
consider. plural cc!mugman who splits / gains new alters very rarely, but when he DOES these mfs are the farthest things from fragments as you can GET. he has 3, including himself, and they collectively alr have 5 notebooks detailing all the differences between themselves
