Decided to kind of mash up game and movie Susie's designs for my au :)
[ID: a digitally colored traditional drawing of susie with a neutral expression. She's drawn as a ghost, with full black eyes and tears streaked down her cheeks. She's wearing her hair up in a ponytail with a red bow, she wears a yellow and white long sleeve shirt, a light purple skirt with a white petticoat underneath, and a bib with a cupcake drawn on it. End ID.]
So, i got this idea for a AU and this is like art that comes with it. So its this AU where Deku donated his heart after he had a deadly car accident at the age of 20. And Bakugou is a heart patient and needed a heart transplant, and their bloodtypes matched in this au, and so Bakugou got the heart from Izuku. And now Deku visits Kacchan as a ghost, in order to make Kacchan a better person becuz he got his heart and all. So yeah, its a littlebit like the story of scrooge but not during christmas, its only one ghost, and Izuku doesnt take Bakugou anywhere.
Is under this readmore because I don’t wanna subject u all to this torment.
As I imagine you know, Bruuno was taken from his lusus at the age of 3 sweeps to be raised by Boe, while his twin Leonra was sent to the fleet. This was a direct order from their Ancestor, Imperial Deepbite (Dahvie). In This AU, MegaDad eats Dahvie because he doesn’t want his charges taken away. Because Bruuno was never given to Boe, his name was never changed and he remained Bruuno Monark.
So Bruuno and Leonra continue to be raised in this specific headcanon I have. I have a headcanon where fuchsias are raised in underwater colonies, where they duke it out and it’s basically survival of the fittest. Bruuno and Leo both make it to the top of their local food chain. With the biggest lusus, nobody can stop them. Both of them leave the colony when they turn 8. They’ve been training and fighting their whole lives. Sure, they had hobbies occasionally! They both got tattoos, Bruuno got into playing the piano and Leonra likes tinkering with things. They both grow to be roughly 9.5 feet tall. (The reason is both boys grow to their environments- Bruuno had a period where he didn’t eat and Leo was starved by the fleet at one point in the current universe, leading them to similar smaller heights.)
And it comes time to challenge HIC. The brothers agree they’ll work together to take her out and share the throne. Anyone who disagrees with this idea gets eaten. Fair? Fair. Except plans go south when Leo gets got in the middle of the fight.
Bruuno absolutely loses it. That was his Brother, he can’t live without him! So he takes one last dash at the high bitch herself and manages to land the killing blow- entirely on accident. She only gets stabbed by his trident because she stumbled and that gave him the extra second he needed.
So now, Bruuno’s emperor. He doesn’t know what to do now. He lived his whole life preparing for this- specifically really preparing to die and now he’s alive. What now? Well, for one, he moves out of his hive with his lusus and into the Empire. The first thing he does now is get the best, fanciest grand piano he can. He has this big empty hive. Except the acoustics are GREAT and the piano is so loud, it echos outside the hive. The trolls that live around his hive report hearing beautiful piano music at odd hours.
What is Bruuno like as an emperor? He’s lonely. He’s so lonely. He doesn’t become close to anyone for fear of them dying. He’s strong enough to kill anyone who challenges him easily, but he’s not emotionally strong enough to allow anyone to get close. He doesn’t talk a lot. He often just makes facial expressions and his advisors, Estela and Cerine (Whomst?), can usually read his expressions really well and can communicate for him. When he does speak he surprises people with how softspoken he is. His hair is long but straightened daily. He has a disguise for when he goes out into public. He demands that he is allowed to do “normal” things, like grocery shopping. Anyone who knows him personally know he’s kind at his roots. He does nothing about the Rebels, in fact there’s speculations that he’s stopped prosecuting them. Punishment severity has been lightened, death is no longer the answer for everything. Nothing is perfect but it’s better. He doesn’t want to push too much but he’s not naturally violent.
So far, he doesn’t meet anyone in this AU, he doesn’t have quads. At one point, he ends up with Shiloh but she happens at a much later point in his life. He keeps her secret, the public doesn’t know about her. She’s the only thing he needs. He has her, and he’s no longer lonely. The halls of his massive hive are filled with childish artwork. Everyone who works in the Empire and near Bruuno loves Shiloh, and they keep her a secret as well. They know if she was made public, there would be attempts on her life.
Kinda wanna do stuff w/ this or draw him bcos big sexy

Pure White, He’s Not Alright
Heh, so here’s the (prologue) comic for that au @dottilyn and I have been working on. the file name is “au meant to hurt you” and i hope it achieves that goal <3
Some minor ramblings under the image ids below the cut if you wanna know more!
[Page 1 - Split into 8 panels, three in the top and bottom rows with two in the center. The first three panels show a dark purple side table in the bottom left corner and a pale foot in the bottom right all in front of a dark grey wall. A phone with a pale pink case sits on top of the table. In the first panel the phone glows and text reads “buzz buzz” in orange. in panel 2 the phone is dark, as is the rest of the room. Panel three has the phone lit up again with the “Buzz Buzz” text. Panel four is an overhead of the phone so it can be read. It is at 3% battery, with a time of 3:46 AM. There are three visible notifications on the phone, one marked as new. The new one reads “Discord, today, 3:6 AM. G.H.R.T.V. : Bro? Are you okay? Normally I’d hear back b-” before getting cut off. The two older messages read “Discord, yesterday, 3:14 PM. G.H.R.T.V. :Shouldn’t be an issue though, right?” and “Discord, yesterday, 10:21 AM. G.H.R.T.V. : Speaking of -(cut off) -ip next week...” Panel five shows the same as panel four, but a pale hand is trying to activate the screen, blocking most of the text. Panels six to eight also show the same as panels one to three, but slightly more zoomed out with Benrey standing in frame, trying to use the phone. He is a pale man in a dark navy shirt, white shorts, and shoulder-length bed head, looking extremely sleepy, like the phone has woken him up. In panel six he’s saying “broooo..... stopppp buzzing.” In Panel seven, Benrey says “It’s too early” while yawning. There are little yawn bubbles around him, and his finger is overlaid through the phone, at a lighter opacity. In panel eight, Benrey has noticed his finger going through the phone with comically open eyes. The yawn bubbles have popped and he is saying “huh?”
Page 2 - This page has 3 small, vertical panels in the upper left corner, overlapping each other slightly while the other 3/4s of the page are one larger scene. In the first small panel, Benrey’s full body is shown and we can see he’s not wearing socks or shoes either as if he just crawled out of bed. He is grabbing the side table for support, and phasing his foot through the side of his Black Mesa Security helmet, which is sitting on the floor. The next is zoomed in slightly to cut off at his knees. This time, Benrey’s hand is going through the side table again, and he looks shocked. The text reads “....whu?” above his head. In the third panel, Benrey is turning away from the left towards the right with an extremely confused expression. The Final panel shows Benrey from the knees up, facing to the right past the viewer. The side table is beside him with the phone (buzzing again) on it as well as his work ID. Benrey’s vest is on a second, shorter side table. On a bed across from the side tables is a pale body. Only the lower legs are visibly, but it is the same skin colour and frame as Benrey himself. He’s looking distraught towards where the head of the body would be, out of frame.
Page 3 - This page has seven panels, split into three rows vertically. In panel one, Benrey is leaning down, looking over what is his body, lying on the bed and slightly blurred to look out of focus. He is shown from the shoulders up, extremely confused, and is saying “Bro, I’m supposed to be IN that.” In the second panel, Benrey has stoop up slightly and can now be seen from the waist up. He’s sticking one of his arms through the body towards the camera, even more concerned. “Why am I not IN that?” He’s asking. In panel three and four, the camera is placed behind the phone on the side table, viewing Benrey from behind. He’s still got his hand in the body, looking away, as the phone buzzes again. In Panel four, he’s turning to look over his shoulder at the phone. In panel five, we see over Benrey’s shoulder as he goes back to the phone. His face is not visible but he is sayin “Oh come on.” Panel six is a close up on the phone. We can see the time is now 3:48 AM, the battery is down to 2% and the new message reads “Discord, Today 3:48 AM. G.H.R.T.V. : Okay well -(cut off)- get back to me soon.” Panel seven, the final one, has a view looking up at Benrey who’s face is lit up from the glow of the phone. He looks quite distressed and is saying “please let this work.”
Page 4 - This page has four panels with images and an additional two with only text. The page has one Main panel, the last one, and everything else is set overtop of it. The first two panels are small, rectangular and floating near the top of the page, flanked by text in “Benrey Speech Blue” saying “no” repeatedly and getting larger each time. The first panel shows his hand almost touching the top of the phone from a dramatic side angle, as the phone gives a “Low Power” warning. The second is more zoomed in, and shows the phone screen shutting itself off. The third panel is wide horizontal on the next row down and we can see the top of the side table where the now off phone sits, Benrey from the waist up, and his body lying on the bed. Standing Benrey has a hand in his hair and his face all screwed up in distress. From this point to the bottom of the page, all the lines fade to white from black, and all of the colours fade to black. There is a smaller horizontal panel with only Benrey blue-text which vertically fades to white that says “NO” and a smaller box underneath that which says “... please”. The final panel shows Benrey leaning against the wall between the side tables and the bed with his body on it. He’s got his head against his knees with his arms wrapped around his legs.

SO ! this is not a “benrey is a xen creature/experiment/glitch/game construct” au, there is no Res Cas, but there Is an experiment that brings our normal main cast together. We don’t have a full plot outlines, but we do have most of our setup figured out!
Full time security guard, part time glitch-hunter, Mr. Benrey Benrey Benrey has been online friends with his favourite twitch speedrunner, GHRTV for a while now. They were planning on meeting up! Too bad Benrey can’t remember what happened in the last 48 hours, including what ... killed him. When he wakes up again, he’s back in his apartment, but things look different, and things keep getting more different as it turns out he’s been gone for a while. His apartment has been resold as “move in ready” to a recent PHD graduate moving across the country with his toddler son. And well, wouldn’t you know it’s (ex, now) speedrunner Gordon Freeman, finally getting a chance to use his scientific skills.
Well... Benrey is dead, right? And he’s not sure why he’s still around (and he really doesn’t want to leave) but there’s nothing against having a little fun with his old best friend, right? And you know what, Gordon Freeman is a busy man and he could use some help having fun again. Either someone to help out with having a toddler, even if they can’t really touch him, or someone to just make him laugh again.
don’t worry, it’ll all work out :)
We’ve got ideas and scenes and goofs of all sorts but we have really been having fun coming up with ways to make this as found family as possible. Let everyone rely on and love each other! They deserve it! But also lots of Angst haha. Its basically us using a lot of ideas which would be really fun but are small on their own, and pushing them all together for the gay rights <3
omg I would LOVE to see Emperor Bruuno, emperor/empress designs are the best! so gaudy, so dramatique...
Here’s a sketch of him!!! He wears torn up wetsuit pants, then a gold halter with chains connecting around it. Over that goes a sheer shirt. And next to him is a sketch of his trident! He’s still sensitive to shirts so he doesn’t wear a lot, hes not known for being overly flashy, but he does love him some gold!
