aubrey moment

[candxie-hikikohero-au]

I made this take of hikikohero au.

SO, this au is basically Hikikel Au got swapped so it’s Hero who accidentally kills Kel. Mari is the one who witnessed the murder and covered it up as a lie. Now here, Sunny becomes a delinquent behind Mari’s back (due to her overworking herself to forget the accident and rarely acknowledged Sunny), Aubrey is still a delinquent but at the same time matured [like Hero in the original game]) then Basil is probably the same (still anxious and worrisome) but copes with it thru gardening and he’s the one who knocked on Hero’s door. 

Hero’s headspace is his nickname (im uncreative i know) so he goes by Henry in his real world (he doesn’t see himself as a hero anymore after that).

Hey, what would Sunny and Mari's relationship be like post-Hikihero?

things are...very awkward. sunnys missed mari enough that hes Extremely Tempted to pin the whole thing solely on hero and be done with it, but mari goes out of her way sometimes to remind him what she did of her own volition. does it lead to a lot of arguments? yes. sunny wishes they could have One Family Outing without her mentioning the past. its very awkward for them for a while, at least until mari stops being so....obsessively concerned about heros reputation.

For Hikihero(post-truth ending). How would Hero react when the realization that on Sally's birthday (12th or 13th). That the youngest of the siblings, has outlive her second older brother (that she will never get to meet).

And that his younger brother would never get older and is now the "youngest "(and not ever getting the chance to be a big brother like Hero)?

i imagine..... for starters, it takes hero a while to get comfortable with sally at all. he just...doesnt trust himself at first. it feels too much like a replacement. so he doesnt really go out of his way to spend time with her for the first couple years.

he gets better once she starts elementary school, because by then shes started showing her own personality. she is definitely not kel, and hero finds that he loves her for who she actually is, and not for who hes afraid he'll see her as. its great! hes exceptionally patient with her, and (just a tad) overprotective. theyre like besties.

but once her 13th birthday cones around...all of his old fears suddenly come back with a vengeance. what if he hurts her? what if something happens? he knows shes been begging their parents to convince him to take time off from his job to go to her party, but hes terrified of what might happen. the days leading up to the party leave him in a pretty bad place.

then, though... sally herself calls him. which isnt very common - she texts him sometimes, but shes not half as chatty as kel used to be, so theyre usually content being close in silence. but she herself calls him, and says that she just...really wants to spend time with him. she wants him to see this event thats so important to her. she just misses him. is his silly job...really more important than sharing this with her?

and then, it hits him. because those are almost the exact words kel used when begging hero to see his game. and he realizes that by trying to protect her, by letting himself succumb to all his old fears, hes doing the exact same thing that caused his and kels argument. his beloved little sibling that loves him just wants to spend some time with him, and he was denying them again and again over something as stupid as his own anxieties.

needless to say....he arrives right on time to sing happy birthday to her :)

I just wanna know, how DOES Aubrey(if I'm right) find out that it was Mari who started all those rumors in Hikihero?

(And how does everyone react on that realization?)

well....sunny and basil try to avoid all of the rumors. they want NOTHING to do with it. aubrey, on the other hand, has had a huge vendetta against any and all who talk about them. she'd basically corner anyone she overheard talking about them and yell at them grill them for info on where they hell they heard that from. eventually, that led to someone namedropping mari. after a while, when more and more people kept saying her name....,aubrey figured out that she was the source of it all.

she doesnt tell anyone else until hero leaves his house. she knows her boys still look up to mari.

when they do find out, though...

basil is the least upset. he's of the opinion that mari had a lot of people grilling her for info after kel died, and didnt intend for everything she said to get so out of hand. sunny, though... his feelings are complicated. hes got, like, a mental block that keeps him from being too angry at mari. he probably blames hero lol
