INSANE RAMBLING AND SPOILERS UNDER CUT

VICTIM AND AGENT CONTROLLED BY TDL? ORANGE TRAPPED? THE CG NOW TEAMED WITH THE MERCENARIES? THE NUKE?

MITSI PICKING UP THE PENCIL!!!!!!!!!!

guys I'm going insane. These new alliances are all I could have dreamed for. Mitsi might be actually able to do shit and live up to her full potential. SHE MIHHT BE ABLE TO USE THE PENCIL OR FREE ORANGE?

the ONLY part I'm iffy on is the reveal it was dark who killed mitsi. I think that blood should've been on Chosen's hands, and we see dark kill other people- but I guess Vic cares about One Person Only. either way, it lead to that INSANELY good fight and the CG+Mercs+Mitsi!!

I need mitsi to meet and work with the cg so bad it makes me look stupid. plus the Mercs finally meeting her... PLEASE give her a character alan please I'll give you my firstborn

At least Orange got 1 hug before the machine :(

IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT!! IM INSANE IM INSANE IM INSANE

thanks guys XD -- i’m glad to know that at least some people see those bumps on the chest-- i didnt want to make it too sexual either-- and I like the pointt raised by ANON too. XD 

Apart from that, yeah I’ve read about the physical body age and range. I’ve also read somewhere and based on Lux’s (2) color stories that she’s past 20 o3o cos she’s old enough to be drafted in the army as well as journey and spy for demacia :3 But ofc, we’ll never know the exact ones till Riot really does the long awaited AGE DROP!!! 

so till them -- i’m just a fan making my own assumptions right here.. and i agree with yea creampuff, I like my zoe as a 16 year old o3o

Y'know, a Triple Threat idea just popped into my head.

They're on a mission, and it's to infiltrate and steal smth some sort of fancy event or gala. Ellie and Henry are getting dressed in the back of the helicopter on the way there. Ellie is struggling with her shoes and messing with the skirt of her backless dress, and Henry is pulling at his tie and wondering how the Toppats can possibly stand staying in a suit all day.

Ellie: Gahhh I hate all this fabric! And how am I supposed to run in these heels?

Henry: [I'm gonna suffocate in this tie... I need freedom to move...]

Charles: Hey, uh, aren't you guys about the same size? Seems to me like you've got a, a pretty good solution there...

Henry and Ellie look at each other.

Hard cut to them breaking into a safe with Ellie in Henry's navy suit and Henry in Ellie's backless red dress. Charles goes "Hey you two are looking good!" and they both tell him to focus.

Bonus points when the three burst into Galeforce's office after the mission, all talking at the same time about all this new information they stole, and Galeforce just has to go:

Galeforce: Did- did Henry and Ellie switch clothes?? When??

Charles: (currently missing his suit jacket because he's a gentleman and Henry got cold) Yeah general but that's not the point!! Look at all this new information!!

And Galeforce simply has to accept that's how his special ops team works.

if triple threat and Dave were to play a game of monopoly together on a chilly winter, Friday night, how do you think this would go

oh god. so, if we're gonna go with base triple threat (and thus my versions of them) i think it would start off reasonable and then just degrade horribly.

so in my TT, Henry is selectively mute, clever, and a bit of a clairvoyant. his powers work off the rule of funny and weird and he knows this, and he knows they'll activate when he makes a really stupid decision (yes, this happens even in monopoly. he assumes they activate because playing monopoly puts him in real danger from Ellie or Charles killing him to death, either on purpose or by accident). he knows who's gonna win and what the best moves are- but he also knows that's not gonna happen, and what WILL happen is the funniest answer. so he plays into that a lot. he IS building up some horribly awful strategy that's gonna fuck the others over in the endgame though, securing him the victory as expected! There were just some twists and turns to get there.

(though there are some games he realizes he's gonna lose, and then he gets a little desperate. those are always the games that end in him and ellie wrestling over the bank while Charles gives Dave all his money. for fun.)

Ellie gets a little intense about these games. In the rest of her life she's surprisingly relaxed, but she also likes to win. As a remnant from the Wall, she's a resource hoarder and absolutely is super cutthroat when it comes to getting her properties. she always wants to feel secure in the game and will go after you if you have something she wants. however, the others can often distract her, so her plays are never as calculated as she would like, especially because HENRY keeps CHEATING and KNOWING THE FUTURE-

Triple Threat's game nights are plagued by the "Charles Time Limit." Charles loves playing games with his friends, he likes spending time with them, and he enjoys the game itself. But Charles being Charles, he gets antsy if he stays in place for too long. The game always has to be fast enough for him to stay entertained, so often the other players have to make quick decisions that aren't fully thought out just to stop Charles from "crashing the helicopter into the buildings" (read: shaking the table and throwing everything off just to spice things up a bit). Charles can and will leverage the Charles Time Limit to make strategic players like Ellie and Dave mess up and make him more likely to win.

Dave is just happy to be here. I think while he knew of Henry, he got into their friend group through reconnecting with Rupert post-TT, and just sort of found himself in the group. He's actually really into long strategy games- he'd spend hours at his security job thinking about the best winning strategies and such. So he'll put up with just about any amount of chaos, fighting, or insanity if it means he actually gets to play the damn game. He's pretty unassuming, too, so half the time while Ellie and Henry are fighting it out he can sneak in some pretty smart deals and strategies. He knows Henry will know instantly and call him out, so he sits between Ellie and Charles and always "nicely" asks Ellie if she's noticed how Henry's screwed her over in the past couple deals (as they were rushing to beat the Charles Time Limit), and then he's really free to do whatever he wants as they argue.

He's also in charge of the bank, because none of TT trust each other to be fair. Dave doesn't steal, but he feels like he's gotten cheated he'll withhold money from the others as a little bit of payback.

They're also all drinking, so imagine this but with Ellie making worse decisions, Henry's foresight being a little to the left and mildly inaccurate, Charles's timer being even shorter and Dave being a little more blatant about his exit strategies.

Usually, by the time Rupert arrives to pick Dave up, the Charles Time Limit has run out and Henry and Ellie are scrapping over the cards on the floor while Dave builds his sixth condo. So overall a fun night!

Also i am SO happy there's confirmation that Purple is the Talker between her and King. That's how I write her, but her initial respectful bow to the Valkyrie Queen and rallying the Valkyries really shows her speech skills :). also she gets to play pranks on King!! She gets to be silly!!

ALSO 1) King with a hammer and 2) King defending everything his daughter does. Very glad those are also confirmed canon traits (because that's how I write King, too. He is DEFENDING his daughter even if she makes STUPID DECISIONS)

[fae-in-the-woods]

anyway i am inconsolable about the new ava ep. purple and king father daughter moments. purple being silly. the valkyries. PURPLE BEING THE NEW QUEEN. i am going insane

I challenge you to write a summary of or pitch retold :)

Retold Summary

OKAY this is for my one fan (day) cause i need a summary anyway. and even if nobody but me cares about this au, I'll probably start posting about it just to get all my thoughts down 

ANYWAY. here’s my intro to retold under the readmore!! (basically up to the Wall portion, which in my notes is ‘chapter’ or ‘section' two)

PART 1: THE BEGINNING

Everything begins when Henry wakes up after [REDACTED INCIDENT] as the leader of the Toppats, looking out from the airship. This should be impossible- he hasn't lived a Toppat 4 Life ending first. How has he ended up here?

He learns very quickly by talking to Reginald that, impossibly, Henry doesn't remember what happened before in this timeline. It's like he appeared in a completely new world.

VERY LONG story short, Henry now has to navigate being the leader of the Toppats while researching his own mysterious past (and hiding fact he is a completely different person) AND while looking for his missing partners, Charles and Ellie. 

What little Henry learns before the plot picks up is that he was the ringleader of a coup against Terrence, and with the help of Reginald and RHM, he overthrew Terrence. However, Terrence and his remnants are on the rise once again. 

Hard cut to Ellie Rose, who is the second in command to Dmitri Petrov at the Wall! Dmitri views her as a daughter and a success, having ‘reformed’ her from her criminal ways. Grigori, the third in command, despises her for taking Dmitri’s attention and affection.

Ellie, meanwhile, despises her position and Dmitri. She begins to plan a riot to release the Wall’s prisoners. As a powerful psychic, how hard can it be? She begins subtly spreading word of a riot.

Hard cut to Rupert! Rupert is having an absolutely miserable time in the government. His best friend, Charles Calvin, is presumed dead after seemingly losing his mind, crashing his helicopter into the headquarters of a new government ally, the tech company the Saturn Initiative, and pursuing the SI’s CEO with a fire hatchet. The CEO, Allister Jonas, managed to flee and push Charles off of the nearby cliff, sending him to his seeming death on the rocks below.

Rupert is struggling with the knowledge his best friend is dead, and also that he died a traitor. How is he supposed to grieve someone who betrayed them so utterly, and for no discernible reason? Not having a body to confirm Charles’s death doesn't make things any easier.

He's out with a new squadron who didn't know Charles- made of Victoria Grit, Amelia Esteban, and the Bukowski twins- in the hopes that maybe he can recover from this grief and shock. 

In between here Henry learns more info, adjusts more to his new life, and continues searching for his missing partners. He is crushed and horrified when he comes across a recent report stolen from the government that proclaims one Charles Calvin, helicopter pilot, is classified as dead…

Hard cut to Charles! He is, surprisingly, not dead. Dr. V found him floating, his left side destroyed but still somehow alive, and rebuilt him. He's got a metal arm, back, and wings, and he is hellbent on destroying the organization that he tried to take out once before: the Saturn Initiative.

According to him, the SI is masquerading as a tech company focused on innovating new weapons and technology for the government using its funding and research. However, Charles did some digging, and he found the truth: the SI has a dangerous history of supplying powerful weapons to anyone who pays the highest, murdering competitors, and overtaking those they work with. It seems like the government- and its classified tech- is next on its list.

Charles brought these concerns to Galeforce, and was strangely brushed off despite his evidence. After continual dismissal and denial from both Galeforce and Rupert, an increasingly desperate and angry Charles decided to take measures into his own hands. And he ended up here.

Surprisingly, V is down to destroy the Saturn Initiative! The pair begin planning missions to take down the SI and its power hungry CEO-

-which leads to, in a terrible confrontation, Rupert and his new squadron encounter Charles looking for information about the SI’s internal systems that the government also came to secure. There's a heated confrontation where Rupert tries to wrangle answers out of Charles and Charles tries to tell him the truth. However, Rupert refuses to believe the SI is dangerous- he trusts his superiors. Charles attacks and makes off with the information, leaving Rupert reeling with shock and horror at seeing the revived, cybernetic body of his best friend.

Cut back to Henry! The Toppats’ spies have been picking up trouble brewing at the Wall, and they're planning to take advantage of it to free the Toppats left to rot there by Terrence. As they're planning, Henry learns a horrible fact: Ellie is the second in command at the wall. 

But he has no time to reflect on this! They're heading for the Wall, because the Toppats are told that this unrest could bubble over any day now.

V tells Charles she'd like him to check out the unrest at the Wall. He agrees, and they begin making their way over.

PART 2: THE WALL

Everyone converges on the Wall. The Toppats are there to rescue their own, Ellie’s staging a breakout, and Charles is there to sightsee!

The breakout begins. Ellie goes into the control room, kills the guards, and opens all the cells. The riot begins as she makes her way to the top, where she's sure Dmitri will be controlling things. 

The airship arrives, and Henry wastes no time jumping off the airship (to Reginald’s horror) and getting to the ground so he can do things with as few casualties as possible. He considers going to look for Ellie, but his choices are stringing him along and he has little choice but to follow them to his Toppats. And, if she's the second in command of the Wall… he couldn't bear to know that she might hate him.

Ellie gets to the top. Grigori finds her and attacks her, certain this is all her fault. She blasts him away with her powers and continues. 

Ellie finds Dmitri, and he begins to call for her aid. She instead attacks him, and in a quick and dirty battle, stabs him through with her spear. He falls, dying. Ellie stands over him, relishing this moment, when she hears someone coming at her.

It's Grigori, and as she spins around, he takes her moment of distraction to slash her right eye out. She blasts him away, but the damage is done. She's badly injured. She limps off into the forest.

Henry leads the Toppats out under the guise of being a normal Toppat like them. They reach the chaos of the upper level. The airship has descended at this point, and everyone rushes to get on.

Henry, seeing the dead body of Dmitri (but, oddly, not Grigori) and the trail of blood leading into the forest, hesitates. But Reginald calls for him, and he forces himself to leave with the Toppats.

But you know who else saw the blood? Charles! He follows it to find an unconscious Ellie, and has a strange moment of Déjà vu. He tells V he's coming home with a new friend, picks her up, and flies off.

Henry gets on the airship and reluctantly reveals his chieftain status. The rescued Toppats- many elites who disagreed with Terrence’s leadership- are now doubly loyal to him. Reginald scolds Henry for risking himself like that, but agrees the heist went well. Henry hides his concern about Ellie and Charles and agrees to a celebration.

AND THE FUTURE

And that's where we leave off here! Dmitri is dead, Grigori is missing, Charles just found (who he doesn't yet know to be) his other half and V is setting her sights on the SI’s newest venture- investigating these new, strange things called anomalies- while Henry is quickly settling into his new role, and Rupert is in misery. 

There's a lot more I didn't cover! The CCC is here, dragged into this new world alongside Henry, fractured and operating under emergency protocols, missing six of nine supervisors. They seem to have some serious beef with Henry, if their dogged assassination attempts are to go by. The Saturn Initiative has a history with Dr V! Anomalies seemingly didn't exist in this world until Henry arrived! Henry’s powers are really weird and he also can't die anymore! Also, what's up with that redacted stuff?

I have SO MUCH STUFF for this AU, and I plan to start posting more intro posts and information about it :)

If you've read this far… thanks!! Ask me questions if you have any!! Let me yap about these little guys!!
