What is this??? (Decay au)
Comic based on a list of quotes my friend keeps of me
introducing: hal strider, the emperor.
remember how decay au has mostly shown off davekat?
the actual largest quantity of writing for it is, in fact, for hal and dirk. my fixation may have shifted, and hal in particular is, by far and large, the recipient of most of the development. he stands in a fascinating position within the pantheon, as the first to have shed his original nature, seeing as he was the first to have had to confront what it meant to no longer be what he was originally born as.
hal’s confrontation of this fact was also much more violent. he did not get the gentle descent into madness, he was plunged into it when he barely knew his own name. he was forced to confront what it meant to shed nearly every defining piece of who you were at 13, and it has entirely changed how he operates and is why he and dirk have such distinct roles that are visibly separated.
hal, by nature, is two things: a destroyer and a manipulator. his major arcana is the emperor. he is authority. he is a tyrant, and he portrays himself as something kinder, because his divine power is mired in his original classpects of heir of mind and prince of heart. he will destroy you with a smile and you won’t realize he’s done it until he’s gone, if you realize it at all, because your perception of reality has hidden away the predatory edges of his smile.
do not ask how many people have made unwise contracts with him and their worlds have fallen into his hands.
hal loves mortals in the way only a god can. cruelly, viciously, and he will push them and he will not feel sorry if they break.
hello there! I have a hypothetical question, hopefully it hadn't already been asked, heh.
In the Decay and LTRL AUs, early on in the stories, Luisa shoves Isabela away from Mirabel and injures her on the back, although thankfully not severely. BUT! My question is, what do you think would have happened if Luisa had accidentally broken Isabela's back?
*Peeking out of my den*
Hi!
ooh that's a good question. I think... it depends on how severely damaged Isabela's back was; was it only the bone damaged or was the cord also affected??
Either way, a fresh wound like that would still be treatable by Julieta; so the chances were that the damage would be fixed by either one. the bones heal straight away. The cord may take a few days with Julieta's food to heal. Julieta got there pretty quickly to help Mirabel, so she would be there quick to cater to Isa's damaged back.
Isabela would be healed physically.
Mentally, she would get given a bucket load of trauma for it. Ultimately, she would be scared of Luisa just as Mirabel is scared of Isabela (less so, in comparison as what Luisa did was sudden and unexpected; not slow going or as targeted as what Isa did to Mirabel.).
She'd have recurring nightmares of the incident, including the vivid lingering sensation of not feeling her lower body (if the cord was damaged)--this could have reawoken some bed-wetting as a sort of psychological response when the lack of feeling spikes in those instances.
Isa would avoid Luisa like the plague, or if they were forced to be in the same room, stay away or the furthest seat possible. She'd be...hyperfocused on Luisa's movements to ensure she wasn't gonna get tossed.
Luisa may not...get into as much trouble bc she was saving Mirabel. Luisa would be guilty about harming someone, even her own sister, regardless of justification. The fact Isa would be so weary of her is also not a good feeling for Luisa. She's upset about it, but...she'd get annoyed by it as well after a few months of it. Luisa's still very much in the middle of both sides of the frustration of knowing she wasn't gonna hurt Isa again and empathy of why Isa's so weary of her.
The adults... how they react would also vary.
Alma would be upset but relieved that no one was killed. At most, she'd insist Luisa stop her chores in town until she made sure not to use her gift with any sense of underestimation; she sees that there was a lack of control that could have easily killed and could have easily crippled someone. This could have easily dug Luisa's insecurities far faster to the rest of the family about her gift.
Bruno would probably be the same as in the original, distant but would try to be supportive of the family either way
Pepa would be...upset but would stay out of the mess to avoid the emotional whiplash that getting involved would entail, but, she could do her best to try and care for her nieces. She may actually gravitate to Luisa given the girl holds so much in emotionally; she could see more and try to get her to let it out.
Felix would be a very in-the-mess sort of guy. He would visit Isabela if she had to heal for longer; make sure she was okay and all. He'd check in with Mirabel as well, same reasons then he's check in with Luisa and make sure she was okay. He'd also help with Pepa when it came to getting Luisa to talk. Very non-judgemental which helps.
Julieta would be.... devastated at the hurt all of her children had done to each other. None of them would want to be in the same room together out of fear and trauma which tears her side of the family apart and she'd burn out far quicker and struggle to balance herself. She'd depend more on Alma for order and control of the situation. Seeing Isa both a victim and a perpetrator is hard and seeing her struggle with instances of trauma (like the bedwetting) would be very difficult. Trying to sooth Mirabel as well--she'd probably be less involved with Luisa in comparison to her other two daughters.
Agustin would be...a champion to keep his all daughter's morale up. He's checking in with all of them and probably would get Isabela moved to his parent's house sooner for the sake of sanity of everyone involved. He'd defo try better to get Julieta away from the alcohol as well once he realises. He'd defo be the support for Luisa that she needs in her immediate family. He wouldn't be weary or scared of her.
Dolores would...probably be the same as in the original stories; Luisa saved Mirabel, and just happened to Isabela get hurt as well. She'd probably help Isa more in dealing with some of her new trauma responses more privately to spare Isa humiliation of it.
Camilo would be much more of a prick. He'd probably be glad Luisa got 'pay back' for Isa harming Mirabel and would certainly and unintentionally make Luisa feel guilty with his praise on the matter. That said, he'd probably keep Anotnio away from Luisa for a few weeks, not that the two interacted much beforehand. But he'd definitely be glad that Isa got hurt. If he found out about Isa's bed-wetting, he'd defo would mock the girl for it (until Pepa told him off for it)
Antonio, the little bean would be... well he's five and not sure what to think but all he sees is his family fighting between themselves so he's much quieter and withdrawn; trying to be with his sister, and parents or would probably stay around Mirabel and Bruno much more as well. he has little opinion about Luisa's actions; he knows she saved his favourite person.
Mirabel would be the most...conflicted person out of everyone if Isabela got a broken back out of it. She'd be both scared of Isa and also worried for her. She certainly didn't want her to get hurt and doesn't think a broken spine was justified, even in the heat of the moment but... it happened. Her family is even more broken up and she'd probably internalise a lot of what Luisa did to Isa onto herself for being the catalyst for Isa to snap to start with. She would be weary of Luisa but not scared of her either, not like how she'd be scared of Isa. Mirabel defo would need therarpy, like the rest of the family to handle this.
lol, turns out I had a lot to say lol, i do like AU discussions :) if you have any more questions, feel free to drop them in. If they're good or enough, it could inspire me to carry on with the nest LTRL AU Chap?????

zombies uuuhh something something
kel is the most recent one othrs are reposts n auby is in the works
Decay AU | Ghosts of Casita P2
The chill remained though quite suddenly the mist lurched out of her mother’s bed room and it felt like a weight ploughed into her gut, the force enough to knock Julieta and the rest to the ground but she watched in horror as her grandson and the priest were instead launched off the balcony and into the air.
“Catch, catch, catch!!” Dante squealed.
“No! Dante!” Julieta dove across to the banister railings; too slow to do anything but watch but as the two came close to hitting the ground, ghostly figures seemed to catch the two; three townspeople for Padre Flores but Dante… he was caught and enwrapped by a tall male, his back turned towards their balcony as if he was a shield for the child.
She didn’t have time to see his face or much before Dante was set down, a shroud of other ghosts coming to mask the child as the demonic presence rattled in the air with a gluteal roar. Casita itself seem to hiss; ratting the shutters, with tiles raised like hackles towards the dark misty being that disappeared through to the courtyard, hooves clapping against the titled floor. It wasn’t fully formed but that didn’t make a difference to what it used to be.
Something I wrote in a DM RP with one of my friends:
There isn't anything known about the deity. Not even his name. All that is known is that he is the god of decay and rot. There are notes on how the book this page was ORIGINALLY from was too old, and decayed to be transcribed from. Which was odd, because the demon taking notes found a book that seemed FAR too old to be possible, and it was written in a language they didn't recognize, but eventually found a way to translate...
There is an old poem, that the demon theorized was from some sort of civilization from before them. In theory, God wasn't the first god...
"Time seems to quicken and slow.
We reap what we sow.
His name, we do not know.
But in our last breaths, we must go.
The smell of decay fills the sky.
No one up above hears our cry.
Not even our goddess, glarzelikydie.
This is our final goodbye.
From the dirt we rise, in which we return.
We had thought our world would end when it was to burn.
We gave fuel to the flame, but in the end, our deaths came when he made our stomachs churn.
Nameless god of decay, beginning of the end days, death come for all, a lesson too late we learn.
Goodbye.
We will die.
If this paper survives, know when he returns, no one will hear your cry.
He says "hello" in tongues no one will recognize, and too him you must say "goodbye"..."
There are some notes on the poem, the demon that wrote the book questioning what sort of creature wrote this, and questioning if there was a god of rot, or if this was a poem to cope with some mass pandemic.
