I have a stupid thought to share about your karma au. The end of the game has the brothers fighting King Dice and the Devil right? Imagine the dastardly duo getting to the end of this adventure and having to fight Cuphead and Mugman, each putting on a hilariously terrible impersonation of the 2 of them. Because Cartoon Hi-jinxs™
OH HAVE I THOUGHT OF THAT~ and oh god that would be amazing to do XD
another thing i had in mind was them reaching the end and being like “we got all the stupid stamps, restore our forms already” and cuphead’s just like “haaaaaa ‘bout that. only one of you can go back you gotta fight each other for it” and mugman’s just angrily whispering-
“what are you doing??? this wasn’t our plan!”“no no relax! they hafta have learned stuff on their journey about camaraderie and teamwork to have made it so far, that’s why we teamed them up! they wouldn’t-”“cuphead they are literally fighting right now”“oh COME ON!”
the end result of such a fight may surprise you lol
