#extinction jon

[crpseye]

tell me about the AU you commissioned lunehowls for please…I’ve seen desolation Martin exactly one other time and that fic brought it up like once

let that boy set shit on fire

OF COURSEEE GRINS. the au is mine and @klackwood ‘s !! their muse is martin and mine is jon, as if right now it’s mostly a twitter rp thing (which u can follow if you’d like! just dm me for the details we haven’t started our main plot thread yet) but i do have plans to write something that couuuld become a fic.

the main things we’ve felt out so far is a bit of martin’s Becoming, how jon’s desolation mark would be from him rather than jude and the fallout/toxicity of their dynamic that’s a big focus on maybe slight codependency.

it’s very monster x monster while also remaining a bit sweet on the side because i am writing with my partner and still get cheesy sometimes but jon has major issues and no problem with allowing martin to feed with or even off of him when it’s needed. they enable each other in that way

jon is technically still aligned with beholding but all things end up swallowed by time and nothingness, he didn’t even realize turning into the catalyst for an apocalypse was turning him into something more until his eye given abilities began to hurt him; his feeding needing to become more violent. sustaining the eye still sustains him only just barely.

any wounds he acquires fester as if the skin has died completely, charred and burnt and keeping him in a state of healing for much longer. over exerting himself with beholding can reopen these wounds as well which is Not pretty. his blood is almost black and slick like an oil spill, untreated scrapes ooze like toxic waste

as for martin weeeell he’s always been a bit angry, hasn’t he? it was pushed down for so long that he didn’t even realize how much of it controlled his life, he can’t Allow himself to be angry because it feels so bitter and wrong when he snaps like that. it’s both unfamiliar and comforting the way it warms him from the inside out to simmer in those feelings. i vaguely remember us also discussing how his hatred of burns could tie in with desolation already being something that had its sights on him from a younger age (similar to jons web encounter)

and a funny one for the masses

Extinction Jon and Extinction Martin are probably plotting some shenanigans together <3

They are just chilling on the Extinction couch :)

thoughts on the concept that The Extinction was almost jon? almost wiping out humanity post-apocalypse, every one else’s hubris and mistakes coming together to culminate in poor jon being ready to finally just let it end, let humanity burn itself out... Jon’s, who is decidedly Not mr self esteem, hatred of that poor umbrella, being useless and out of place... and ultimately, martin really Having stopped the extinction, or perhaps just delayed it. an avatar anew, through another Choice, webless

Oh, my thoughts on the Extinction!Jon-That-Would-Have-Been are sprawled out over a novel’s worth of fanfictions and essays. Though I do like the inspired twist on Martin ‘stopping the Extinction’ on a technicality.

As for the future, I’m sure that wherever they land, the Extinction is going to be beaming recruitment offers to Jon like horrible radioactive DMs 

The Extinction @ Jon: hey, was super into the doomsday vibes you were sending me back there, ditch the Eye and hmu if you want to get with a real Fear, xxoo

The Eye, aghast: How Dare You, He’s Happily Grafted to Me For Eternity, He’s Too Classy For You And Your Wasteland Anyway,

The Extinction: your Pupil looks M.A.D. af :)

The Eye: YOU’RE INSANE

Meanwhile, in a fresh new Fearscape

Jon, nursing his latest mortal wound and trying for levity: Oh, isn’t this yet another fun new development. Can’t wait until Terminus comes a-courting

Martin:

Jon: ...Martin?

Martin Kjealous Blackwood: Should I be concerned?

Jon: Martin
