(Trembling hands with War or Fam.)

Will do, broseph 👌 this is more than 10 sentences, but shhhh

-----

Retribution stared up at his partner, wide eyed and hopeful. He'd just dropped a majorly important piece of information on him, and he was praying that this wouldn't result in anything bad. Famine stared back at him, his single sapphire eye light constricted and now no larger than a pin prick in his socket. The taller of the two drew in a shaky breath, his voice a raspy mumble, "Y-Ya... You're really sure, Ret?... Completely positive?" The former prince nodded, his response immediate, "I am. Here... You can take a look, if you want."

He summoned his royal violet, apple-shaped soul, drawing it out of his chest and delicately taking it in his hands, offering it to his partner. Famine's eyes widened a little more, and the instant he noticed the tiny white souling attached to the side of Ret's soul, his eye light vanished all together. With trembling hands, he reached out, accepting the former prince's soul as gently as possible. Bringing it closer to himself, he stared at the souling for what felt like forever, beginning to imagine what this meant for his future with Ret.

He pictured a tiny babybones that looked just like Retribution, swaddled in a blanket, and sleeping peacefully on his chest, and his eye light began to slowly fade back into visibility. Noticing how anxious Ret was beginning to look, he offered him a nervous smile, hoping to offer even a little bit of reassurance. He wasn't sure how this would even work yet, but... For Ret, he was willing try his best.

A Security Breach riders AU sorta thing

Just hear me out, here-

Death as Freddy, because he's already pretty much the Dad™ of the group and he does have a soft spot for kids

Famine as Monty, because he's a big dude who looks kinda scary to some people, but actually has a soft boi hobby (*coughs* cooking. Monty's soft boi hobby is golfing)

War as Roxy, because of her short fuse and speculated insecurity/low self esteem/inferiority complex. She constantly pushes herself to be the best and the strongest, because who would she be if she couldn't do that? She'd be weak (and feel like she was nothing, in turn), and that's not at all what she wants

Pest as Chica, because he likes children and eats garbage. While Chica has had her little cupcake buddies, Pest has rat friends

(this got a little long, so everyone else is under the cut XP)

Connie as Sun, because she adores children and would seriously love to spend all of her time with them. Caring for them is a breeze for her, and as long as she had the energy and time for it, she probably could start turning into a bit of a neat freak. She also has more anxiety than she lets on, and she usually hides it with a smile and silly jokes

Ret as Moon, because he can be soft with kids, but his job has hardened him to the point where it's hard to be soft with anyone at all some days. He can be soft with Connie and Mortem, but sometimes, he actually needs to consciously make an effort to let his guard down around the others. He's definitely a neat freak, and he has a tendency to be a little short fused and scary at times

Abrael as map bot, because c'mon, it's funny. That, and y'know. Pirates and maps. If Foxy was still an active character in the game, I would've said they'd be him instead

Roulette as Vanny/Vanessa, because of the white rabbit theme. That, and I read that Vanessa was a follower of Afton's, which would line up perfectly wiiiiiiiiiiiiiith-

Othni as Springtrap/Afton, because he's a wacked out old man with some serious issues. Othni's scent is a mix of rotten fruit and smoke, which kinda lines up with how Afton's been burned only god knows how many times now. Othni's also a homicidal maniac that's a little too stab happy, which seems like a very Afton kind of thing, too

Then literally any child character could be Gregory, except for Paragon and Eris (since they're babies still, obviously). Every other child though? Mortem, Pixie, Iniko? All chaotic little heathens. Ivy and Marcell could be heathens too, but for the most part, they're both good kids with too much anxiety to be Gregory

Added bonus: Fresh as DJ Music Man, because 1) music and dancing, 2) cool guy vibes, and 3) goes from 0 to 100 really fricken fast and is terrifying. They're both big guys, too

Connie as Sun and a Shattered version of herself as Moon could be cool though, too. Same with Ret turning into Lyzer, or even War turning into 406. Another one I considered was Geno turning into Error, since they're already two guys stuck sharing a body, just like Sun and Moon

None of these are really that great, but it's all I felt like doing at the moment

I tried doing something bigger for Sundrop!Conquest, but like halfway through it, my motivation completely died. So yeah. Here's this, instead

[ask-the-riders]

Pestilence: it's a perfectly normal day. in fact, it's a wonderfully normal day! you head downstairs and you're met with the welcoming smiles of your loving family. you smile back and open your mouth to greet them... but something is wrong. you are voiced by Chris Pratt

Death: I'm actually begging for you to stop

Famine: no, don't listen to 'em. I wanna see where this story goes

[ask-the-riders]

How much of a punch to the gut do you think it'd be for Famine if he found out that he had a kid that he didn't even know about with someone?

I've thought about this before (a while ago), but I'm listening to some music, so the thought is replaying itself in my brain, and all I'm imagining is him looking like this scary, mentally unstable behemoth of a man, standing behind this little skeleton child who looks tiny and frail next to him. He looks like he'd maim anyone who looks at them wrong, and he's fiercely protective. He's almost as feral about protecting them as Nep is with all of his lake dweller children

He looks even scarier standing behind his kid when you take the hole in his head, his loss of an eye and unhinged grin, and the broken shackles around his wrists into consideration

Obviously he's too uneasy around kids right now to be like that, but I really do think he has the potential to be a super good dad

[Having a sleepover]

Abrael, Pestilence, Famine: *Getting ready to play cards*

Death: *Asleep on couch*

Death: *Starts mumbling*

Pestilence: *Motions for the other two to be quiet*

Death: Go on, Anteros... You can jump... It's only thirty stories…

Another two for errorink and a riders pair? I must c o n s u m e the lore!

29) who gets jealous easily?

30) how do they cuddle? when and where?

((I forget if I've done these ones or not, so apologies if I'm repeating any ^^"))

-----

With ErrorInk, I feel like Error is the one who gets jealous easily. Partly because jealousy is an emotion and Ink physically can't experience it unless he drinks some paint first, and partly because Error is Error. After being alone in the antivoid so long and becoming what he is now, Error might really, really lowkey have some issues with abandonment or loneliness, so he could get a little jealous of anyone that Ink shows attention to, purely because he might be worried and afraid that Ink could leave him too and then he'd be alone again

When the two of them cuddle, it's either on the floor of the antivoid in a very warm cuddle pile, on Error's beanbag, or somewhere in Ink's house (usually the bed or the couch), which is in the doodle sphere. Error gets embarrassed about asking, so he has some nonverbal cues he uses, which Ink's made a note of so he doesn't forget. The cue would likely be things like very lightly nudging Ink with his shoulder or elbow, wrapping an arm around him, gently tugging on Ink's scarf, or inching so close that Ink can smell the chocolate that he's got stashed in his pockets. If Ink wants cuddles, meanwhile, he might tug on Error's scarf as a warning, and then he just goes for it

I honestly forget how many I've done for each rider pairing ^^" I wanted to try keeping them even and not have an overwhelming amount for any one pair in particular, but all the other posts I've done for this got buried and I'm too tired to go digging through the tags and tallying them up. That being said, I'm gonna go with Famine and Retribution

I'm also gonna put it under a cut this time too, since I rambled a little more than intended ^^"

Famine doesn't experience much jealousy a lot of the time. The only times when he might to varying degrees would be when he's feeling particularly insecure or when someone is directly hitting on Ret and not even attempting to hide their intentions. If someone flirts with Ret, be prepared to see him give them this narrow-eyed stare, start growling really softly, and lean down a little to wrap an arm around Ret before tugging Ret flush against himself. He was a semi-feral monster at one point, almost like Nep, so the best ways to calm him down would be for the flirter to back off and give both of them space, for Ret to talk to him very softly and give him verbal reassurance, and then for Ret to allow him to cling to him for a while (since that means Famine's scent would be all over him)

Ret probably feels jealous more often than Fam, but he's freakishly good at hiding it. He wears a mask and pretends he's fine for a while, but when he's alone with Famine, the mask starts to crack a little, and he'll start doing things like wanting to hold his hand, cling to his shirt, and following him around, wanting to be there at his side. If Connie's around when the jealousy is triggered, she's like Ret, so she can feel it. She probably takes it upon herself to hint at it just enough for Famine to catch on, that way he knows that Ret needs a little extra love and care for a while

When Fam and Ret cuddle, it's usually in one of their rooms. Famine technically stays in Ret's room with him now, but he still has his own room too, and that's just where he keeps his stuff. If he's in there doing whatever, Ret might tug him over to the bed and want cuddles there sometimes, because it's soft and they can be as squished together as they want. In Ret's room, a lot of the cuddling happens in the bed too, but Ret's also got a special chair he likes, so if Famine sat in it, he might allow himself to just nestle in on his lap for a little bit (but not too long though, because the chair's backing would be uncomfortable on Fam's spine spikes). They'll cuddle on the living room couch too, but out there where the others probably are, it's more subtle, since Ret gets a little embarrassed sometimes when Pest playfully points it out and says something to mess with him

[ask-the-riders]

Imagining the riders in the clothes/gear that their animatronic counterparts would wear is killing me just a little bit

Famine could absolutely pull off the look of a pro bowler. Him in a bowler vest and a pair of nice pants would be 👌👌👌 combining that with something that an 80s rock/popstar would wear might look pretty cool, too

Meanwhile, War in some combination of 80s rock/popstar clothes and rock wall climbing gear could be neat, though I'm sure she'd gripe about the gear since normally she doesn't wear anything like that

Pest dressed in 80s popstar clothes with all the gear necessary for roller skating is where it starts getting a little silly. Because he'd need elbow and knee pads and a helmet, to set a good example for the kids and teach them how to be safe. Just,,,, him gliding around in roller skates while "every time we touch" plays and these multicolored strobe lights are going. There's an image I didn't know I needed until now

Connie and Ret would be wearing these nearly identical overalls and tshirts, with Connie getting these cute lil sunshine designs here and there while Ret gets covered in stars and one singular moon. Connie would think the outfits were adorable, while Ret would immediately be embarrassed by it since it's not as dignified as his usual outfits(s)

And then there's Death, who's desperately trying to hide from everyone because as of right now, his animatronic counterpart only wears shoulder pads and a bowtie

He'll probably get at least a pair of pants too, but meh

Abrael isn't doing much better. Their animatronic counterpart is a map bot variant, so like. All they'd get to wear is their bandana and maybe a pair of gloves or something
